Ava Spilled The Ethan Tea
AMP in the post
At the Metro Court, a desperate Brook Lynn asked Ava about Phoebe Chase’s (Luna and Lucia Creighton) biological father, explaining that a man claiming to be Phoebe’s dad had arrived in town.
Worried Phoebe might be in danger, Ava revealed Ethan Lovett had faked the DNA test to protect her from her real father—because the false test was the only thing keeping the adoption intact, Ava agreed to keep Ethan’s actions secret.
Nearby, Felicia was talking with Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) when Emma confronted Heather Webber (Alley Mills).
Emma urged Heather to leave Port Charles and reminded her of her past crimes.
Heather said her victims, Ava, Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud), and Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali), could say whatever they wanted, but she wouldn’t tolerate insults from Emma.

Ava Gave Heather A Warning
In the meantime, hearing her name being spoken, Ava walked over to where Emma was confronting Heather.
With a steak knife carefully concealed behind her clutch handbag, Ava delivered a chilling warning to Heather.
Stay away from her, her daughter, and Trina—or Ava would kill her, claiming it was self-defense.
Heather quickly assured Ava that she posed no danger to any of them.
But before the tense exchange could go any further, an officer arrived and escorted Heather to the police station.
Portia Barged Into The PCPD
In the aftermath of Tristan Roberts’ (Dean Geyer) statement, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna), Joe Fitzpatrick (Jonathan Bennett), and Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) were going over the file on Jack Brennan’s (Chris L. McKenna) death.
Then Portia arrived at the PCPD, insisting on speaking with Dante—she wanted to know why the police hadn’t arrested Heather for stalking Trina.
Dante explained that he had no grounds to act because Heather was a private citizen legally in town.
Unless Trina was willing to make a statement about the behavior she considered threatening, he couldn’t arrest Heather or issue a restraining order.
While Heather’s actions didn’t qualify for a restraining order, Dante had brought her to the station for a conversation.
Portia Threatened Vigilante Justice
When Portia saw Heather with the commissioner in the interrogation room, Heather forgave the doctor for altering her medical records, saying she would have done the same to protect her own daughter.
Furious, Portia accused Heather of terrorizing Trina and demanded she leave town; Heather insisted she had every right to stay, but promised to keep her distance from Portia and Trina.
Dante warned that she would face intense scrutiny if she remained.
After Heather left, Portia complained that Dante couldn’t do more and declared it was time for her to take matters into her own hands.
When Dante asked what she meant, Portia replied, “You’ll see.”
Molly And Joe Discussed Drew Cain
Molly and Joe wondered whether the paralytic allegedly used on Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) had also been used on Jack.
They theorized that Drew’s Navy SEAL training might have enabled him to disable the Metro Court security system, giving Ava a chance to slip Jack a sleeping pill.
After reviewing Drew’s medical records—which Joe had obtained from Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening)—Molly and Joe noticed that Drew had an active prescription for Restinol tablets.
He could have given the medication to Ava to use on Brennan.
While that wasn’t grounds for an arrest, it was a link to the crime.
Serena Pressured Jason
Believing her false statement had helped secure Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) and Valentin Cassadine’s (James Patrick Stuart) release from jail, a triumphant Serena Baldwin (Kelly Kruger) asked Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) to hand creative control of Deception over to her and Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring).
Jason objected, saying he had never agreed to that and had specifically told Serena to stay out of it so she wouldn’t make things worse for Carly.
However, while Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) was out of town, Jason held her proxy.
He agreed to give Serena and Lucy creative control on the condition that they stay out of Carly’s life.
Brook Lynn Arrived, Needing To Talk To Jason
As they sealed the deal with a handshake, Brook Lynn arrived to talk with Jason, and Serena left before he could sign the contract.
Once they were alone, Brook Lynn told her cousin what Ava had revealed about Ethan Lovett.
She added that Ava couldn’t verify whether Phoebe’s father was actually Jude Jacks (Wil Traval).
Jason, in turn, said Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) had told him that Jasper “Jax” Jacks (formerly Ingo Rademacher) had cut Jude off.
Jason suspected Jude was using Phoebe as leverage to pursue another agenda, and Brook Lynn resolved to find out what he really wanted.
Felicia Took Emma To Task
Back at the Metro Court, Felicia reprimanded Emma for confronting Heather.
She warned that harassing Heather on Trina’s behalf made Emma the one breaking the law, and said the PCPD would deal with it if Heather was truly stalking Trina.
Emma, however, insisted she wouldn’t let Heather push Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) and Trina out of the spotlight just as their careers were taking off.
Elsewhere, Serena told her mother she might have secured creative control of Deception—before she could explain, Ava came over and introduced herself as a friend of Scotty Baldwin (Kin Shriner).
As Ava left the restaurant, she was horrified to overhear Serena telling Lucy excitedly that she had gotten Carly and Valentin released from jail.
Trina And Gio Agreed To Perform For Simon
At the Cat’s Eye Lounge, Trina struggled to accept that Heather was free; she confided in Gio that Heather’s daughter, Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl), had killed Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez).
Heather had murdered Trina’s former boyfriend, Rory Cabrera (Michael Kruse), and attacked Ava.
Although cobalt poisoning meant Heather wasn’t legally responsible, Trina still believed she had sparked Heather’s violent rampage.
Gio was torn, but Trina insisted they would perform as an opening act at a big stadium; Simon Craft (Grady Eldridge) warned them it was their final chance, then left.
Gio wanted to prioritize Trina’s safety, but she refused to let Heather scare them into abandoning their dream; after Trina convinced him the arena performance could be their big break, Gio agreed to go ahead with the show.
Annemarie’s Take
Ava revealing Ethan’s DNA deception certainly gives Brook Lynn plenty to think about, but Jude’s true intentions are still a mystery! Meanwhile, Portia threatening to take matters into her own hands worries me.
Heather knows how to play the victim, and Portia could end up making things worse for Trina. I’m also surprised Jason was willing to give Serena and Lucy creative control of Deception. Something tells me that handshake won’t be the end of this!
