Dante Questioned Sidwell, Who Denied His Statements To Lulu

At G.H., Dante confronted Sidwell about statements attributed to him in Lulu’s article regarding giving Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) a WSB drug to administer to Drew.

Sidwell claimed he was heavily medicated and couldn’t recall speaking with any reporter. He rejected all allegations, denying he’d placed Willow in Congress after incapacitating Drew to make her easier to manipulate.

When Dante pressed further, Sidwell suggested checking the visitor log, arguing his medical team wouldn’t have permitted a reporter visit given his condition.

Dante acknowledged that, hypothetically, Sidwell’s skepticism made sense; the article read like a confession.

Sidwell countered that it would be a coerced confession.

Dante noted that Drew and Willow could corroborate the events, triggering Sidwell’s memory of threatening to destroy Willow if she talked.

Sidwell refused further discussion, claiming he needed rest, but after Dante departed, his anxiety was evident.

Drew Confronted Lulu

An angry Drew confronted Lulu at her home, accusing her of obtaining a HIPAA waiver dishonestly and failing to publish their agreed-upon story.

Lulu countered that the story had evolved based on her notes and offered Drew a chance to publicly address his wife’s criminal activities.

When Lulu questioned whether Drew knew Willow was drugging him, Drew shot back by asking if Lulu was aware her daughter Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) had broken into his car.

Lulu avoided confirming she knew about it and kept pressing about Willow.

After threatening to destroy her phone and claiming she’d misquoted Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) and Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst), Drew told Lulu to stay away from his family and left.

As Drew’s confrontation with Lulu threatened to escalate, it became clear that he wasn’t backing down over her article.

Later, Dante arrived, and though Lulu was glad to see him, she was shocked when he revealed that Sidwell had denied everything in the article, claiming he’d been under the influence of pain medication during the interview.

Josslyn Bought The Piers

At Sonny’s house, Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) assured his brother that their anonymous bid for Sidwell’s piers exceeded Drew’s.

Though disappointed about Gio Palmieri’s (Giovanni Mazza) departure, Sonny looked forward to attending the auction to witness Drew’s reaction to losing.

At the Metro Court, Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) and Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) prepared the conference room for the winner announcement.

Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) arrived as a bidder, fresh from taking Charlotte to boarding school in Maine.

Carly expressed doubt that Sonny orchestrated the Pentonville attacks but worried that if he reclaimed the piers, people would question his claim to legitimacy.

Meanwhile, Josslyn sabotaged Sonny’s plans by sneaking into the hotel’s electrical closet and disabling a security feature on the new system.

Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) then accessed the auction data and submitted the highest bid for JJE moments before the auction ended.

Josslyn’s scheme followed her growing determination to target Sonny, and her dangerous revenge plot was about to deliver a major blow.

The Highest Bidder Was Announced

Sonny and Ric walked in for the meeting, with Selina Wu (Lydia Look) and Brad Cooper (Parry Shen) following close behind.

Selina and Sonny decided to let bygones be bygones regarding the aftermath of the fire at Charlie’s Pub—an incident that had nearly claimed Kristina Corinthos-Davis’ (Kate Mansi) life and that Sidwell had falsely pinned on her.

Drew stepped into the conference room to join the other bidders, as Carly and Valentin exchanged stunned glances when Hudson made his entrance.

Ezra then accessed the auction platform and revealed that Hudson had become the new proprietor of Piers 55 and 56.

When Ric and Drew pressed for answers about the mysterious man’s allegiances, Josslyn strolled into the conference room and disclosed that Hudson Parker was working under her direction.

Trina Was Under Surveillance

Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) and Gio made preparations for their upcoming performance at the Cat’s Eye Lounge.

Emma Scorpio-Drake (Braedyn Bruner) informed Trina that Gio had recently relocated from Sonny’s residence and that the couple was securing their own apartment together.

Despite understanding Gio’s deep affection for his grandfather, Trina experienced pangs of guilt about the situation.

However, Emma reassured her that Gio had made this choice independently.

While Trina and Gio conducted their sound check on stage later that evening, an unidentified figure observed them from outside through the club’s window.

The unsettling scene adds to the ongoing mystery surrounding Trina’s dangerous stalker.

Annemarie’s Take

I think Josslyn has gone way too far this time. She didn’t just outbid Sonny; she sabotaged the auction system to get what she wanted. And for what? To hurt someone who has been part of her family for years?

I also think Drew threatening Lulu makes him look even more suspicious. If he’s so confident that Willow has done nothing wrong, why is he so desperate to silence Lulu?

And that mystery person watching Trina and Gio? That’s downright creepy. I have a feeling things are about to get much worse.

Do you think Josslyn will regret betraying Sonny, and who do you suspect is secretly watching Trina?
