Jude Came For His Daughter
Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton), Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), and Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) were taken aback when Britt Westbourne’s (Kelly Thiebaud) mysterious companion revealed himself.
He introduced himself as Jude Jacks, the cousin of Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), the son of Jerry Jacks (Sebastian Roché), and proclaimed that he was the biological father of Phoebe Chase (Luna and Lucia Creighton).
Jude shared that he had been on a quest to find Delilah Wilson (Lily Cardone) for several months and had finally located her in Port Charles, only to discover that she had passed away.
Since he had not relinquished his parental rights, Jude claimed the adoption was illegal.

After informing Brook Lynn that he would reach out to her, Jude departed.
As Jude’s shocking baby bombshell threatens the Quartermaine family, Brook Lynn and Chase could be facing their worst nightmare.
Jason And Tracy Determined To Find Out Who Jude Really Is
Tracy reassured Brook Lynn that everything would turn out fine.
In a hurry, Brook Lynn ascended to the nursery, promising Phoebe that she would not be taken from her.
Jason cautioned Tracy that Jude could pose a significant issue if he truly was Jerry Jacks’ offspring.
Tracy suggested they could offer him a financial settlement, but first, she wanted to uncover his true identity.
“I know where to begin,” Jason responded. He’ll start by talking to Josslyn, of course. It will be interesting to see if she’s ever heard of him.
Chase Was Talking To Willow When Brook Lynn Showed Up
At the gatehouse, Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) informed Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) that he was leaving the estate following his divorce.
Willow comforted him regarding co-parenting and volunteered to assist him in finding a new home.
Chase expressed his gratitude to Willow for always knowing the right words to lift his spirits.
Suddenly, Brook Lynn pounded on the door, crying out to a startled Chase that a man had arrived at the main house, asserting he was Phoebe’s father and threatening to take their daughter from them.
Chase looked at her in shock.
Dante And Elizabeth Made Cupcakes
Dante fulfilled his promise to assist Elizabeth in baking cupcakes for the Halloween party at the community center.
As they baked together, their bond deepened, especially when Dante offered comfort to Liz, who was feeling down about Aiden Webber (Colin Cassidy) moving away.
After Liz chose not to answer a reporter’s call regarding her thoughts on Lulu Spencer’s (Alexa Havins Bruening) article, Dante expressed his regret for any trouble Lulu’s questionable behavior may have caused her.
While Liz didn’t hold Dante responsible, she admitted to still feeling angry with Lulu.
In a playful moment, Liz accidentally got frosting on her cheek and in her hair, and as Dante gently wiped it away, they shared an intimate connection.
With Dante and Elizabeth’s growing closeness continuing into Friday’s episode, fans may be wondering whether their friendship is turning into something more.
Ric Made A Request Of Alexis, And After He Left, Jude Showed Up
At Miller & Davis, Ric attempted to persuade Alexis to convince Monet Mitchell (Blythe Howard) to withdraw Willow’s libel suit.
Aware that Ric feared Monet might prevail, Alexis suggested he should instead persuade Lulu to issue a retraction, particularly since a Monet victory would end Lulu’s journalism career.
Although Ric recognized it was a long shot, he aimed to resolve the case before Thanksgiving, as Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) and Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) had invited him and Elizabeth to dinner at Alexis’ home.
This surprised Alexis, who joked about trying to behave during Thanksgiving and wished Ric luck with Lulu’s representation.
After Ric departed, Jude arrived, stating he urgently needed Alexis’ legal assistance and that she came highly recommended.
Alexis was taken aback when Jude revealed he was Jerry’s son.
Anna Had A Breakthrough
Valentin joined Anna for a session with Dr. Nichols (Kearran Giovanni), where they explored her past experiences with the WSB and her interactions with Cesar Faison (Anders Hove).
When Anna mentioned that she had been assigned to Faison due to their prior connection (his mother had been her nanny), Valentin reminded her that she had reached out to Faison independently.
This led Anna to a significant emotional breakthrough as she recognized that she had concealed a false memory for many years and was accountable for the pain and suffering that ensued.
Valentin Admitted A Part Of His Heart Would Always Remain With Anna
Valentin argued that she was just a teenager caught in a difficult situation, suggesting that she shouldn’t hold herself responsible for Faison’s actions.
He emphasized that otherwise, she would be reinforcing Faison’s grip on her.
Valentin urged Anna to forgive her younger self, noting that none of them could truly grasp how twisted Faison was.
With Dr. Nichols’ support, Anna cried out, “It wasn’t my fault,” and ultimately found it in her heart to forgive herself.
Later, Anna expressed her gratitude to Valentin for ignoring her wishes about not participating in therapy.
Valentin admitted that a part of him would always belong to Anna, and she reciprocated his feelings.
Joe Questioned Carly, And Carly Saw Danny And Charlotte On Security Footage
Joe Fitzpatrick (Jonathan Bennett) visited Carly Spencer’s (Laura Wright) office to inquire about the failure of the hotel’s security system on the night Jack Brennan (Chris L. McKenna) went missing.
Instead of confessing that she and Valentin had been investigating Drew Cain’s (Cameron Mathison) office when the system malfunctioned, Carly falsely claimed she had remained in her office.
She continued to respond to Joe’s inquiries, but as she sensed he might view her as a person of interest, Carly cut the conversation short.
Once Joe departed, Carly reviewed the security footage from that night and was taken aback by what she discovered.
She quickly called Valentin to inform him that Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) and Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn) had been present at the Metro Court on the last night Jack was seen alive.
As the mystery surrounding Jude and Brennan’s disappearance deepens, Carly’s discovery could create even more problems for everyone involved.
Annemarie’s Take
Well, Jude certainly knows how to turn a family’s world upside down! I don’t blame Brook Lynn for panicking, but I hope Tracy and Jason make him prove every single thing he’s claiming before anyone even considers letting him near Phoebe.
I also loved seeing Anna finally forgive herself with Valentin’s help. That was such an emotional moment! And what about Dante and Liz? There’s definitely something happening between those two.
But Carly’s discovery might be the biggest problem of all. Now that she knows Danny and Charlotte were at the Metro Court that night, I have a feeling Brennan’s disappearance is about to get even messier!
