Tracy Warned Willow

Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) stormed into the gatehouse, ordering Willow to steer clear of Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) and threatening eviction if she didn’t comply.
Willow smirked, confident that Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) would never allow that. Tracy countered, asserting that the final decision was hers, and Michael could leverage whatever he had against Willow to take the kids permanently.
After a few more heated exchanges, Tracy reminded Willow that Michael had the upper hand. Once Tracy left, Willow muttered, “Not for long.”
Josslyn Was Furious
Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) was furious when Jack Brennan (Chris L. McKenna) informed her that her next task was to accept the CEO role at Jasper Jacks (formerly Ingo Rademacher) Enterprises.

He explained that the directive came from his superiors, suggesting the bureau was either targeting the company or interested in one of its subsidiaries.
Josslyn stood firm, insisting her father wasn’t a criminal and accepting the assignment, rejecting her parents’ pleas to resign as an agent.
Soon after, Jack received a call about Willow skipping an important WSB Appropriations Committee meeting. Enraged, he rushed to the gatehouse to confront Willow about her failure to uphold their agreement.
Willow Got Some Leverage
Willow calmly stated she would return to the committee once Jack found incriminating evidence against Michael.
Jack reminded Willow that he had utilized WSB resources to hide the video that showed her on Drew Cain’s (Cameron Mathison) street the night of the shooting. With a sneer, he claimed she owed him for preventing her from going to prison.
She assured him she would be at the next meeting to secure WSB funding, and Jack cautioned her that she wouldn’t appreciate the consequences if she failed to uphold her promise.
Once Jack departed, Willow retrieved her phone from her back pocket-she had secretly recorded Chief Brennan admitting to the misuse of WSB resources!
Josslyn Informed Parker She Was Taking The Position
Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) arrived early at the Quartermaine boathouse for his meeting with Josslyn, hoping to run into Brook Lynn Quartermaine Chase (Amanda Setton) and Phoebe Chase (Lucia and Luna Creighton). While chatting with Brook Lynn, he subtly inquired about Phoebe’s birth mother.
Tracy found Brook Lynn at the lake and met Hudson, then privately updated Brook Lynn on her confrontation with Willow.
Grateful for her grandmother’s support, Brook Lynn expressed optimism, confident she could face anything with her loving family by her side.
Just then, Josslyn arrived at the boathouse and, to Hudson’s dismay, revealed she had decided to accept the CEO position at JJE after all.
Laura’s Replacement
Laura Collins (Genie Francis) met with Anna and Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) in her office to announce her personal leave.
She explained she was planning to visit Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom) and Ace Cassadine (Kieran and Karis Barry) in Ireland.
During her absence, the Deputy Mayor would step in, but they would work closely with Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove).
Justine and Anna expressed concerns about Ezra’s questionable reputation. But Laura reminded them that he had helped bring Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) to justice, emphasizing that everyone deserves a second chance.
Ezra Made A Bad Joke
Laura’s remark triggered a memory for Anna about her time in captivity, but she quickly masked her reaction. The women then joined Ezra, who promised to collaborate effortlessly with the others.
Ezra joked that perhaps the three of them could finally take down Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) in the mayor’s absence, but the humor didn’t land well.
After Anna and Justine departed, Laura reprimanded Ezra for not treating the job with the seriousness it deserved, especially since she wouldn’t be there to supervise him.
Ezra assured Laura that she could count on him, and Laura hoped that the police commissioner and Acting D.A. would come to view Ezra as the kind-hearted person she knew him to be.
Lucas And Joe Came To An Agreement
Meanwhile, Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) and Joe Fitzpatrick (Jonathan Bennett) found out that they had both signed a lease for the same apartment at Marina Towers.
Lucas was dealing directly with the leasing office and Joe going through realtor Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring). Joe contacted Lucy and discovered there had been a mistake when she submitted his contract.
Since the apartment rightfully belonged to Lucas, Joe decided to withdraw. But Lucas offered him a place to stay until he could find another home.
Valentin Met With Carly And Jason
Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) met Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) at the pool to propose buying his way back into ELQ- Jason was uninterested, but Carly urged him to listen.
Valentin insisted he didn’t want to take over the company, but rather bring a new perspective to revitalize ELQ.
When Jason noted that Valentin needed the Qs to sell him shares and that trust was lacking, Carly suggested he talk to Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth), Tracy, and Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) on Valentin’s behalf.
Valentin, earnest in his desire to rebuild his life, argued that boosting ELQ’s profits would help the entire Quartermaine family. Jason reluctantly agreed to consider it.
Anna Had A Panic Attack
Anna arrived at the pool and joined them; Carly mentioned that Jax wanted Josslyn to take over at JJE and asked Anna if the WSB was a suitable life for her daughter.
This triggered a flashback for Anna, causing her to panic, and Valentin followed her when she suddenly left the table, finding her in the elevator having a panic attack. He pleaded for her to be honest about her feelings.
Meanwhile, Carly told Jason she was fine with Valentin pursuing Anna, recognizing that Anna needed him. However, she felt a chill at the thought of Josslyn’s future after seeing Anna lately.
