Cullum Threatened Jack

Cullum went to see Jack at Turning Woods and insisted on getting the combination to the black box he discovered in the office.

He believed that Brennan had assisted Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) in her escape and was concealing the information. Jack, not revealing to Cullum that he was capable of speech, declined to comply by blinking “no.”

Even though Cullum considered pinching Jack’s IV line, he ultimately stated he would come back later, expecting Jack to be more open.

He suggested that if Jack continued to withhold information, there would be fatal repercussions.

Nina Went To Carly’s And Insisted On Seeing Valentin

Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) arrived at Carly Spencer’s (Laura Wright) place, insisting on seeing Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).

Carly refused to let her in and tried to send her away, but Valentin made his presence known to his ex-wife.

After throwing a few barbs about Carly and Valentin living together and hinting that she knew they were involved, Nina informed them that Jack had been moved to Turning Woods, was awake, and wanted to see Valentin.

Carly and Valentin suspected it was a trap set by the WSB, but when Nina mentioned the phrase “ex machina” from Jack, Valentin recognized it immediately.

Valentin Convinced Carly It Wasn’t A Trap And They Went To See Jack

He warned Carly that they were in more trouble than he had anticipated. Before departing, Nina told Valentin that he could have sought her assistance instead of relying on Carly and cautioned him that it would be his downfall if he didn’t meet with Jack.

Carly offered to go to Turning Woods to ensure Valentin wouldn’t be caught and to inquire about Josslyn Jacks’ (Eden McCoy) whereabouts, but he insisted he needed to go.

Given Jack’s intense dislike for him, it must have been significant for Brennan to summon him using “ex machina.”

Ultimately, Carly assisted Valentin in sneaking into the facility disguised as an orderly so they could meet Jack together.

Michael Set Up Willow And Chase

Eager to bring Willow and Chase together, Michael lured Willow to the mansion under the pretense of discussing a swap for Fourth of July weekend with the kids.

Meanwhile, at the boathouse, Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell) carelessly dropped her expensive sunglasses into the lake, hoping Chase would dive in to retrieve them for her.

After a polite discussion about their visitation arrangement, Michael sent Willow to the boathouse to grab Wiley Corinthos’s (Viron Weaver) glove, which he feigned having left behind, and discreetly messaged Jacinda.

Upon finding the glove, Willow unexpectedly collided with Chase, who was dripping wet and shirtless after emerging from the water, while Jacinda observed them from the window.

Chase Invited Willow To Swim With Him

Later, Chase asked Willow to swim with him, and even though Brook Lynn Quartermaine Chase (Amanda Setton) warned her to avoid him, Willow said yes.

After swimming in the lake, Chase and Willow talked about their memories, and when she moved closer to remove a leaf from his hair, they had a special moment.

Back at the main house, Jacinda and Michael toasted to celebrate the first step of their plan, even though Jacinda worried that their scheme to bring Chase and Willow together would hurt Brook Lynn.

Michael reiterated that he didn’t want to hurt his cousin, but he believed Brook Lynn would be happier without Chase.

He thought that if he and Jacinda kept creating moments for Willow and Chase, old feelings might come back, and they would go too far.

Lulu Interrupted Elizabeth And Dante

At the PCPD, Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) entered to find Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst) and Dante talking about Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) and Britt in the interrogation room.

She thanked Liz for trying to stop Britt from taking Rocco out of town. Elizabeth and Dante explained to Lulu that Liz figured out Rocco’s injury was a slide bite, not a knife cut, which helped Dante realize Rocco shot Cullum.

Initially, Lulu was upset that Dante and Liz had withheld information from her, similar to what he criticized her for with “Nathan West” (Ryan Paevey).

However, she later understood that Liz was looking out for Rocco and trying to protect him. Liz mentioned she would have done the same for Lulu if she had concerns about Rocco, and Lulu agreed that Elizabeth acted correctly.

Dante Sent Joe To Interrogate Pascal

In the meantime, Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) put on a performance for Det. Fitzpatrick, asserting that he believed Pascal was responsible for the murder of Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo).

Joe felt there wasn’t sufficient evidence to justify an investigation into Pascal. This prompted Lucas to insist on speaking with Commissioner Falconeri.

After Lucas made his case, Dante instructed Joe to head to Wyndemere to interrogate Pascal regarding Marco’s murder.

Dante cautioned Lucas that the lead with Pascal was weak, but Lucas urged him to pursue the investigation, as it was the only path to justice for Marco.

Tracy, Brook Lynn And Lucy Met With Sidwell, And Were Interrupted By Joe

Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot), Brook Lynn, and Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring), who had her arm in a sling due to a pole-dancing mishap, arrived at Wyndemere for a meeting.

They were there to consult with Sidwell, who had privately directed Pascal to summon him when there was news from Cullum.

Tracy and Brook Lynn confronted Sidwell, accusing him of using Deception as a facade for his illegal business activities, warning him that if he did not withdraw from the company, they would report him to the SCC and initiate a whistleblower audit.

Lucy hesitated on how far she was prepared to go against Jenz, but ultimately chose to support her business partners.

Dismissing their threat as an exaggerated bluff, an irate Sidwell retorted that Deception would not exist without him.

Joe Arrived To Interrogate Pascal

Pascal interrupted the meeting to pull Jenz back into the foyer, where Cullum was waiting for him. As Pascal poured tea for the women, Cullum informed Sidwell that there was no sign of Britt.

Sidwell expressed concern about how they would proceed with the project without Britt’s expertise, prompting Cullum to suggest they look for a replacement.

However, just as Cullum was about to reveal his candidate, a knock sounded at the door. Cullum quickly concealed himself, and Jenz opened the door to find Det.

Fitzpatrick introducing himself, catching Sidwell and Pascal off guard as he stated he was there to question the butler regarding Marco’s murder.
