Portia Announced Curtis Is Her Baby’s Father

Portia told Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) , Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson), and Curtis that Curtis was the baby’s father.

Trina hugged her dad happily, and Isaiah congratulated Curtis before leaving. Trina also left, allowing Curtis and Portia to talk alone.

They decided to finalize their divorce and agree on joint custody to focus on parenting instead of fighting. In the locker room, Isaiah felt disappointed about the test results; when he returned, Portia was there-they wished the baby was his but still wanted to be together.

Isaiah Worried About Curtis Being A Problem, While Curtis Told Jordan The News

Isaiah worried about Curtis being a problem, but Portia assured him they had agreed on joint custody; he then asked if she was okay with Jordan being around her child.

Portia joked that Jordan wouldn’t last because no one could meet Curtis’s high standards. Meanwhile, at Jordan’s house, Curtis told her he was going to be a father again.

She asked if Trina knew about the test results, and Curtis said his daughter was excited but still processing everything.

Portia took the news better than he expected; they just needed to finalize the divorce paperwork; then, Curtis and Jordan committed to their life together.

Trina Talked Things Out With Ava

Meeting with Ava Jerome (Maura West) at Haven café, Trina shared that her mother finally completed the paternity test.

Although she felt relieved to learn that her father was indeed the baby’s dad, she still harbored anger towards her mother regarding the entire situation. She was uncertain about how to overcome that disappointment and rebuild trust with Portia.

Ava assured Trina that she would support her no matter what choice she made. Emphasizing that every relationship involves taking a risk on the other person, and despite Portia’s past mistakes, she genuinely loved Trina.

Ava Talked About Her Past Mistake With Kiki

Ava then reflected on her own past when she distanced herself from Kiki Jerome (Hayley Erin. She lost the opportunity to mend their relationship after her daughter’s tragic death.

Ava expressed that she would prefer to have her daughter just as she was rather than live without her. While Trina couldn’t fathom a life without her mother, she lamented how her family dynamics would change with Jordan, Isaiah, and a baby joining the fold.

Ava pointed out that just because things would be different, it didn’t mean they would be negative, reminding Trina that she had the power to shape how her relationship with her mother would evolve.

Dante Told Jordan About Anna

After inviting Jordan to his office, Dante updated her on Anna’s mental breakdown and mentioned that Laura Collins (Genie Francis) had permanently offered him the commissioner role.

He realized that the gap between being a detective and an administrator was larger than he thought, and he was uncertain about staying as commissioner. Additionally, he felt the weight of stepping into Anna’s role.

Jordan commended him as a natural leader and encouraged Dante to make the position his own, knowing from her experience as his boss that the officers at the PCPD respected him.

He jokingly asked if she wanted her old job back, but Jordan replied that being commissioner wasn’t her focus these days.

Dante Summoned Chase To The Office

Later, Dante summoned Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) for a meeting to touch base, and Chase complained that after years of working together as detectives, they were now in the roles of patrolman and commissioner.

Recognizing that Chase had always been a solid cop, Dante wanted to ensure that Chase wouldn’t have trouble taking orders from him and would respect the boundaries of being a patrolman.

This meant no side investigations to build a case against Michael. As Chase remembered holding Michael’s key ring with the key to Willow’s house, Dante assured him that he wouldn’t interfere in the investigation, and Chase ultimately agreed to do the same.

Brook Lynn And Chase Reminisced

While babysitting Bailey Lou Jones (Miley and Riley Plonski), Brook Lynn and Chase reminisced about how they began to fall in love.

This was  when they were pretending the little girl was theirs to keep Maxie’s daughter hidden from Peter August (Wes Ramsey).

Chase mentioned that even back then, he recognized what a wonderful mother Brook Lynn would be, and he was eager for them to have a child together.

Chase reassured her that he wasn’t trying to rush her into adoption- Brook Lynn shared that she had made progress in her relationship with Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) and didn’t want to risk that bond.

Chase agreed to wait until they were both ready to consider adoption; after that, Chase headed off for his first day back at work as a patrolman.

Gio Dropped In For A Talk About Emma

Later, Gio visited and expressed his worries to his mom about the possibility of Emma Scorpio-Drake (Braedyn Bruner) moving back to San Francisco during her family’s crisis with Anna.

Although Brook Lynn understood his fears, she felt it was premature for Gio to think Emma wouldn’t return, and she suggested that if it came to that, Gio could go to San Francisco to win Emma back.

Then, Gio treated Bailey Lou to her favorite snack of cheese and crackers, which made Brook Lynn think back to the few times she babysat him when he was younger.

Gio remembered how thrilled he was whenever she came to visit during her music tours and how she took him to his first concert.

He then revealed that he had been very upset when he discovered she was his mother, but now he felt fortunate to have a cool cousin who turned out to be his mom.

Felicia, Georgie And James Visited Maxie

In Boston, Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner), Georgie Spinelli (Lily Fisher), and James West (Gary James Fuller) visited Maxie, which they did weekly.

James was upset when Georgie said their mom couldn’t see his Valentine’s cards, but Felicia assured him Maxie could feel their love.

They took turns with Maxie, and Felicia and Georgie stepped out so James could talk to his mom privately.

He told her he loved her most, which is why he said no to a classmate’s Valentine request, and he wanted her to wake up to watch him play hockey.

In the hallway, Georgie cried to Felicia, saying she didn’t mean to upset James, but she missed her mom a lot.

Maxie Woke Up!

Switching places with James, Georgie lay on Maxie and begged her to wake up; in the waiting area, James told Felicia that everyone at school wanted to meet his real dad.

Then it was Felicia’s turn alone with Maxie, and she cried as she explained to her daughter how she and Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) tried to keep things normal for the kids.

Felicia told Maxie how loved she was and how much the family missed her, pleading for her to wake up before kissing her forehead.

Later, Felicia and the kids were ready to go home to Port Charles when they started arguing about whether to stop at the bookstore or the ice rink on the way to the airport.

To their surprise, Maxie appeared at her room door, saying her son wouldn’t skate without a helmet.

She accompanied him to shop for PTA-approved party favors and helped him put together the goodie bags. Lulu was taken aback when Nathan suddenly shifted the conversation from mending his relationship with James to expressing his doubts about their own relationship.

She was surprised to find out that he had sought advice from Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros), but she admitted that she had also spoken to her mom for similar reasons.

Despite the tricky situation involving Dante and Maxie, Nathan admitted he wanted to be with her, and Lulu shared that she felt the same way.
