Josslyn Jacks’ Interrogated

Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) is tied up in a room when Pascal (Marc Forget) walks in. He smiles as she rambles about being on her honeymoon.

The blonde demands to see her husband. Pascal declares that she doesn’t have one. Then, he addresses her as, “Agent Jacks”. Pascal throws papers with the WSB logo down for Joss to see.

The man wants to know what intel Josslyn shared with Brennan. She claims they haven’t had a chance to report back. Pascal doubts that. As Josslyn tries to explain, Pascala declares that this makes her totally disposable.

Josslyn says why would she tell him anything, they’ll kill her anyway. Pascal says that her chances are survival greatly increase if she talks. (Make sure to check out our weekly GH spoilers, here!)

Anna Devane & Jack Brennan Connect

Anna calls Brennan. She wants an update. Brennan says she’s drunk and wants to know where she is. The WSB boss claims Anna is going to jeopardize the whole case by yapping about it in public. She hangs up. 

Moreau comes in and says it’s been more than 12 hours. They were supposed to check in. They debate about the situation. Moreau wants more information. Brennan won’t give her any.

Then, he threatens her if she pokes into his personal life again. Brennan finds a drunk Anna. She won’t leave with him, so he suggests they get a table.

She agrees and tries to get a drink for Brennan. He says one of them should stay sober. Anna vents about Maxie Jones (Kristen Storms). Then she brings up Josslyn.

Brennan hasn’t heard from her yet. Anna urges him to pull her out. Back at the WSB office, Moreau goes back into Brennan’s office while he’s out.

She opens up a cupboard, but what she is looking for is not there. She calls Pascal, she needs a code from Josslyn and Vaughn.

Vaughn’s Hot Iron

Pascal brings Vaughn into the room he’s holding Joss. She’s shocked by his condition. They interrogate and threaten Vaughn’s face with a hot iron.

Vaughn won’t talk. As they are about to take action, Josslyn yells for them to stop. The blonde tells them that everything about the case is in a black box in Port Charles.

She gives them a combo to the lock, but I’m not sure if it’ s the right one. Vaughn is furious with her! Pascal watches and listens as Josslyn and Vaughn debate. He’s watching from a portable screen. 

Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) can’t stop thinking about Maxie. She opens up to Sidwell as they sit at a dinner table. Lucy wants to do something for Maxie.

Sidwell suggests keeping the company going for her. As Sidwell stares with eyebrows arched, Lucy says people on social media are blaming Maxie’s condition on the Deception products.

Sidwell suggests they come up with a solution together.

Star-Crossed Lovers

Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) admits he’s avoided Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) long enough. The stableman wants to know what’s changed.

It’s the news about Maxie, that’s what’s changed. Dante is there as his friend. Cody says he just lets people down. Cody tells Dante about his deal with Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi).

He brings up Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos). Dante is confused, so Cody has to explain. Cody admits that he really likes Molly. She’s complicated but in a good way. 

Elsewhere, Molly tells Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) the latest. Molly wonders what happened to Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison). He used to be such a nice guy, people considered him a hero!

Michael doesn’t know, but he’s got to be stopped. Michael assures her about Scout Quartermaine (Cosette Abinante). He asks her about Cody, so she fills him in. 

Alexis Davis’ Deal

Kristina screams what have you done?! Ava claims she had to stop him. They argue about whether Ava intentionally killed Ric or not. Ava checks to see if Ric is dead or alive when Alexis suddenly bursts through the door.

Alexis asks if Ric is dead. They were just about to check. Alexis says, “Well, don’t let me stop you.” Kristina realizes Ric still has a pulse! Alexis wants to call an ambulance but Ava stops her.

Alexis exclaims,  “I can’t let him die on the living room floor! What would Molly say?!” Kristina tries to figure out if he’s unconscious or not. She thinks she can tell with a light.

Oh no, she’s playing EMT. His eyes react, he’s probably fine. Great, now Alexis wants to know what the hell happened! Kristina starts to explain.

Then, Ava shares her story. Finally, Ava issues an ultimatum. If she goes to prison, then so does Kristina. They debate and Kristina officially agrees that they can’t go to the police.

Kristina says they all have blood on their hands, so they are stuck together.

Colette Moreau & Jenz Sidwell Connect

Over with Moreau, she goes to talk to Sidwell. She tells him that Pascal was inquiring about his associate. Deception is part of the scheme.

Sidwell says then, they can use the company as they please. Sidwell says she can thank their associate for the compound as it worked perfectly. 

Later, Ric wakes up. His mouth is gagged and he’s tied up somewhere. Maybe a basement?
