Curtis Was Arrested

As Isaiah squirmed in agony, Portia confided in Joe that it was Curtis who had provoked the attack. Without hesitation, Joe took action and arrested Curtis.

At the same time, in the hospital, Isaiah expressed his concerns to Portia, lamenting that Curtis had ruined his hand.

After a thorough examination, hand specialist Dr. Sherman (Lindsay Mucil) delivered the grim news to the couple: Isaiah’s injury would necessitate several surgeries to repair multiple fractured bones and severed tendons.

Isaiah was devastated by this revelation, fearing that his dreams of a surgical career might be shattered forever.

Sonny Interrupted Gio’s Guitar Practice

During a visit to the Quartermaine mansion to see Phoebe (Lucia and Luna Creighton), Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) unexpectedly encountered Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza).

Gio shared with his grandfather details about an upcoming musical showcase and revealed that collaborating with Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) was helping him feel a deeper connection to his adoptive mother, Camila Palmieri (uncredited).

Sonny remarked that he wasn’t at all surprised to see his grandson gravitating back towards music, as it has always been such an integral part of Gio’s identity.

Gio getting back to music, even if it’s with a guitar is an important step, and Sonny certainly realized that.

Perhaps soon he’ll start playing that violin that Sonny and Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth) got him for Christmas.

Emma Got Bad News

Meanwhile, Emma was in a state of panic after accidentally breaking Anna’s cherished mug, that she had made for her when she was ten years old.

She confided in Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner), expressing her guilt over feeling happy while her grandmother was confined to a hospital.

Just then, Mac Scorpio (John J. York) arrived alongside Laura Collins (Genie Francis), bringing news from Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom).  

Anna had managed to escape and nearly reached Switzerland after commandeering a vehicle.

Unfortunately, she was apprehended by the French authorities, who were now in the process of transferring her to a facility for patients with complex needs.

Gio Dropped By, And Emma Was Glad To See Him

Gio subsequently arrived at the family gathering, bringing a sense of warmth to the occasion, although as soon as he saw the group, he could tell something was wrong.

Emma, especially was filled with anxiety, deeply concerned that Anna’s placement in a maximum-security facility would only worsen her already heightened paranoia about Cesar Faison (Anders Hove).

She firmly believed that it was crucial for them to discover a way to support her grandmother during this challenging time.

Laura agreed wholeheartedly with Emma. She added  that she had a valuable contact who could act as a strong advocate for Anna, potentially making a significant difference in her situation.

Ava And Nina Caught Up At Bobbie’s

Ava Jerome (Maura West) and Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) met at Bobbie’s. Ava saw that Nina looked stressed.

Nina shared her worries about Jack Brennan (Chris L. McKenna), who had a stroke at Willow Cain’s (Katelyn MacMullen) house and had no one to help him.

Ava then told Nina about being caught in a fight between Sonny and Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst), which ended with Sonny’s thug, Ethan Lovett (Nathan Dean), holding her hostage for hours.

Nina thought it might be good to be friendly with one of Sonny’s bodyguards, but Ava complained that Ethan was not trustworthy.

Before Nina went back to the hospital to see Jack, Ava warned her to be careful with the WSB.

Curtis Told Dante His Arrest Was A Case Of Mistaken Identity

After Curtis was brought into the police station, he asserted to Dante that his arrest was a case of mistaken identity.

Joe was surprised when the commissioner decided to remove Curtis’s handcuffs. In the interrogation room, Curtis explained to Dante that the altercation with Isaiah was merely a heated argument that escalated when Isaiah said inappropriate things.

When Dante inquired if he had thrown the first punch, Curtis avoided a direct answer and instead blamed Isaiah.

Instead, going on a tirade about how the doctor had abandoned the scene of the accident and was now trying to cover his tracks.

Curtis Complained About Fitzpatrick

Curtis also expressed his discontent, claiming that Fitzpatrick had been overly forceful during the arrest, suggesting that he and Isaiah could have resolved the situation amicably.

Dante informed Curtis that an apology was no longer sufficient and urged him to make a call to arrange for his bail.

Curtis reached out to Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper), who made her first public appearance since the incident as she arrived at the station.

Curtis shared his frustrations with her, insisting that Isaiah was the one who had committed a crime, not him.

Later, Fitzpatrick updated Dante on the witness testimonies regarding the altercation. Dante provided Joe with a brief overview of the underlying tensions involving Curtis, Isaiah, Jordan, and Portia.

In the meantime, Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) met with Sonny at their secret location and explained that she had been with Jordan when her friend received the news about Curtis’s arrest.

She expressed her reluctance to pursue charges against Curtis, as it would only exacerbate the pain Jordan was already feeling.

Joss Found Anna’s Note

In the basement room beneath Wyndemere, Josslyn contemplated the idea of using Cassius Faison’s (Ryan Paevey) injured ribs to her advantage in an attempt to escape.

He reminded her that he was protecting her because Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) was unaware of her location.

As they continued their card game, Cassius inquired about her reasons for joining the WSB, and Josslyn shared how the pursuit of her boyfriend’s killer had inspired her to become an agent, providing her with a sense of purpose.

Eventually, Cassius decided it was time to end the night and secured Josslyn in the bunker.

She entered the bedroom and, for the first time, noticed a message inscribed on the wall: “Anna Devane was held captive here. I was taken on 10-31-25.”
