• Carly and Joss clash over the dangers surrounding the WSB.

Drew Was Confronted

Ava burst into Drew’s house demanding answers about why he’d framed Nina for Jack’s disappearance; he initially denied involvement but confessed to planting Jack Brennan’s (Chris L. McKenna) wallet in Nina’s car.

He detailed Willow and Nina’s past wrongs against him, but Ava remained skeptical, noting Nina had changed.

Drew countered by reminding her that Nina had once paralyzed her to force labor and kidnap baby Avery Jerome-Corinthos (Ava and Grace Scarola).

He justified the frame-up as insurance to protect their roles in Jack’s death and their custody of their children; Ava left disturbed.

Later, Drew reflected on Nina pushing his wheelchair into the lake, smirking darkly: “Oh, Nina. I told you I’d get even. And your daughter is next.”

Nina Was Extradited

After spending the night in jail, Nina insisted to Agent William Baines (Alimi Ballard) she had nothing to do with Jack’s disappearance.

When her attorney Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) arrived, Baines presented Jack’s wallet found under Nina’s car seat and declared he had sufficient evidence for immediate extradition.

Nina lost her composure and lashed out, prompting Baines to tell Ric to control his client before informing Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) of Nina’s transfer to a WSB facility.

Alone with Ric, Nina insisted she was being framed but couldn’t name anyone responsible; upon Baines’ return, a terrified Nina learned she was being taken into WSB custody immediately.

Ava arrived at the station just as WSB agents hauled her hysterical friend away.

Carly And Josslyn Had A Discussioin

During breakfast, Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) expressed concern to Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) that Josslyn might face Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) fate.

Josslyn clarified she was on leave and uncertain about her WSB future, but Carly countered that Jack had revealed running JJE was Josslyn’s actual assignment. Fearing exposure, Josslyn insisted secrecy was essential.

When Jack’s disappearance came up, Carly disclosed that Agent Baines had questioned her and she’d implicated Nina, suggesting the WSB discovered something serious enough to warrant Nina’s arrest.

Josslyn urged her mother to distance herself from the WSB and let her manage the situation, concerned the bureau might target Carly as well.

Sonny’s Vacation Invite Was Rejected

Sonny arranged a private meeting with Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) at the studio to press her for details about Nina’s arrest from the previous evening.

Justine clarified that the WSB held exclusive authority over Nina’s prosecution, leaving her powerless to intervene.

She further disclosed that she couldn’t jeopardize her professional standing by joining the getaway they’d previously planned.

She informed him that Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) was officially resigning as D.A. and she was pursuing the role herself.

While Sonny felt let down, he respected her position and assured her the vacation offer would remain available should she reconsider.

Trina Visited Curtis At Pentonville

Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) visited Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) at Pentonville, where they explored Brook Lynn Quartermaine’s (Amanda Setton) revelation regarding the accident and the toll her concealment had taken on their loved ones.

Trina shared that she’d terminated Brook Lynn’s management contract. Curtis urged his daughter to preserve her musical aspirations despite his own circumstances.

As guards escorted him back to his cell, Curtis reaffirmed his commitment to earning parole and reuniting with his family.

He also warned his daughter to remain skeptical of any proposals the Quartermaine family might present under the guise of making amends.

Brook Lynn Confronted Lucy

At Metro Court Gardens, Brook Lynn confronted Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) about breaking their agreement and demanded her Deception stock back.

Lucy refused, blaming Brook Lynn’s own lies for the fallout-Serena Baldwin (Kelly Kruger) arrived mid-argument and attempted to mediate, citing the company’s upcoming rebrand.

Brook Lynn dismissed the conversation as pointless, and after she left, Lucy told Serena she wanted full control of Deception and asked her to convince Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) to transfer Maxie Jones’s shares.

Upstairs, Michael commended Jordan Ashford’s (Tanisha Harper) CEO performance before Brook Lynn arrived, then met with Lucy and Serena.

When Serena mentioned pitching new products, Lucy strategically redirected the conversation to Café Cherie for dinner.

Brook Lynn Apologized To Jordan

Brook Lynn apologized to Jordan for not coming forward immediately after the car accident and for failing to take full responsibility for what followed.

While Jordan acknowledged the apology, she pointed out that she too was at fault-she had been distracted while driving. Jordan also stressed that Curtis needed to be accountable for his own actions.

With empathy, Jordan encouraged Brook Lynn to focus on improving her own life rather than dwelling on guilt.

She then suggested that if Brook Lynn truly wanted to make amends, she could do something meaningful and constructive for Curtis.
