Michael drops by Carly’s place for breakfast, where Joss is already there. Happy to see his sister, Michael is immediately teased by Carly, who announces that Joss has some major news to share. Forced to come clean, Joss reveals that she has joined the WSB, and Michael surprises Carly by congratulating her.
Michael understands why Carly is upset and quickly realizes that every time Joss claimed to be out of town, she had actually been working. Carly is stunned that he’s taking the news so well and had hoped he would convince Joss to reconsider. Michael, however, refuses to do that.
Carly insists that Joss be completely honest about the dangers of her new career, prompting Joss to reveal that she was shot and nearly died. Shocked, Michael asks why nobody told him. Joss explains that the WSB covered up the entire incident. Michael admits he has been so consumed by his own troubles that he feels he has let both of them down.
Joss and Carly reassure him that his attention belongs on his children. They remind him that he now has to protect them from Willow, especially with Drew back on his feet. Michael explains that Drew and Willow are getting divorced, but says that development has only made the situation worse.
What’s Drew’s Next Big Move?
Martin meets Curtis and announces he has good news: Drew Cain has agreed to help their case. When Drew arrives, Curtis points out that he never expected him to lift a finger in his defense. Drew admits he’s deeply sorry for everything he’s done and says six months of reflection have forced him to confront his mistakes.
Drew tells Curtis that among all the people he hurt, Curtis is one he especially regrets wronging. Since the prosecution wants him to testify, he has decided he’ll use that opportunity to help Curtis instead.
Martin explains that the district attorney plans to blame Willow as the second driver, which would weaken their case against Isaiah. Drew promises he will testify that telling Detective Fitzpatrick about Willow was a mistake and that she was actually home that night.
He adds that watching Willow surrender his child to Alexis was devastating, making him understand exactly what Curtis would feel if he lost Dez. Drew says he wouldn’t wish that pain on anyone and expects nothing in return for helping.
What’s Willow Planning Now?
At the Metro Court Gardens, Willow, Nina and Obrecht toast Willow’s freedom from Drew. Obrecht, however, believes there’s clearly much more to Drew’s miraculous recovery and sudden desire for a divorce than Willow has revealed. Nina urges her aunt to stop dwelling on Drew and let Willow move forward.
Willow says that with a job and her children, she now needs a place of her own, especially if Wiley and Amelia will soon be living with her full-time. Nina wonders how Michael agreed to that arrangement. Willow admits he hasn’t—but insists he won’t have a choice much longer.
She explains that she plans to meet with Anna regarding the unsolved shooting of Drew. Willow believes the investigation was buried because Dante protected Michael, and she intends to use her congressional influence over PCPD funding to push for the case against Michael to be reopened.
Nina warns Willow that provoking Michael is a mistake and strongly advises against reopening the investigation. Obrecht agrees, cautioning that antagonizing Anna Devane would be equally unwise. Willow remains determined, insisting she must secure a future with her children. After Nina leaves, Obrecht urges Willow to stop dragging her mother into whatever she plans next.
What Does Ava Offer Trina?
Ava meets Trina to celebrate her graduation and surprises her with a generous proposal. She suggests they become partners and even rename the gallery “The Jerome Robinson Gallery.” Although touched by the offer, Trina declines, explaining that while it was once her dream, she has now found a different path.
After hearing about Trina’s recording contract, Ava is thrilled for her. Trina asks if she can continue working at the gallery on a part-time basis for now, and Ava happily agrees. She also promises to keep the partnership papers safely stored in case Trina ever changes her mind.
Trina asks about Ethan, and Ava admits they’re finished after he vanished the day they were at the pool without another word. She still has no idea what his intentions were. Moments later, Trina receives a call from Simon and excuses herself, while Ava glances at the unanswered messages she has sent Ethan.
The Quartermaines Have Reason to Celebrate
At the Quartermaine mansion, Brook Lynn, Chase, Ned, Olivia, Gio and baby Phoebe gather to complete the adoption. Alexis arrives carrying the paperwork, explaining that once everything is signed, Phoebe will officially become Chase and Brook Lynn’s daughter. Olivia takes the baby while everyone else steps away, leaving the couple alone with Alexis to finalize the documents.
Brook Lynn worries that one day Phoebe may resent them for taking away her chance to know her biological father. Chase reminds her that this is exactly what Phoebe’s father wanted. Alexis adds that regardless of who raises her, Phoebe would never truly know him.
Elsewhere in the foyer, Ned congratulates Gio on his recording contract and advises him to listen to his mother’s guidance in the music business. He jokingly recommends investing in a pair of black leather pants as well.
Alexis then gathers everyone back into the living room, where Chase and Brook Lynn proudly announce that Phoebe Jacqueline Chase is now officially their daughter. Alexis presents them with a sealed letter from Phoebe’s biological father, explaining that it is intended for Phoebe when she is older and only discusses Delilah should she ever become curious.
Before leaving, Alexis reminds them to file the adoption paperwork at the courthouse. Chase and Brook Lynn ask her to contact them immediately if Phoebe’s father ever reaches out. They promise they will do whatever it takes to keep Phoebe with them.
Is Phoebe in Danger?
In Norway, Ethan checks into a hotel under the name Mr. Davidson and orders room service. Hudson suddenly appears, demanding that Ethan tell him where “she” is. Ethan throws a punch to Hudson’s stomach, but it barely affects him. Hudson responds by grabbing Ethan by the throat.
Moments later, Hudson is calmly handing Ethan a bag of ice as though nothing happened. He asks where Delilah is, and Ethan explains that she died in Port Charles, recounting everything that happened. When Hudson asks about the baby, Ethan says the child is gone too and apologizes.
Hudson blames Ethan for filling Delilah’s head with ideas and driving her to flee. Ethan insists he genuinely cared about her and that she was terrified. Furious, Hudson asks what he’s supposed to do now before punching Ethan to the ground.
The fight escalates, with both men exchanging blows. Hudson accuses Ethan of being a thief who stole from the wrong person. He warns that if he discovers Ethan has lied, he will finish him off—but only after killing Ethan’s mother and sisters first. (Does this mean a return for Sasha? There’s just one problem!)
After Hudson storms out, Ethan—badly beaten—calls Ava. She is ready to hang up until he says the call concerns the baby. Ethan has no idea Hudson secretly planted a listening device in the room.
In the Show’s Final Moments
After Drew departs, Martin tells Curtis they need to head to the courthouse. Curtis wonders whether Drew will actually keep his word, and Martin says he believes he will.
Michael tells Carly and Joss that Willow is demanding shared custody of the children and currently has the advantage. He fears he may not be able to stop her from getting what she wants.
Obrecht warns Willow that Nina has already suffered enough and begs her not to hurt her any further. Willow replies that her mother understands she is simply fighting to keep her children.
Nina calls Jack, seeking advice about Willow’s dangerous plan to target Michael. As she moves to find a better signal, Trina comes around the corner and overhears the conversation.
Ethan begs Ava that if anyone starts asking questions about the baby, she must remain silent and protect the secret. Ava promises she will, then asks whether he’s in trouble and where he is. Ethan simply says goodbye before hanging up—unaware that Hudson has heard every word.
Gio tells Ned and Olivia that when Phoebe grows older, she’ll naturally have questions about her biological parents. Olivia agrees that it won’t be easy but reminds him that Phoebe is surrounded by people who love her.
Finally, Alexis reassures Chase and Brook Lynn that Phoebe’s father has permanently surrendered his parental rights and has no intention of changing his mind. She tells them they have absolutely nothing to worry about.
On the next General Hospital: Tracy orders Brook Lynn to leave town. Lucy tells Serena they’ve struck gold. Jacinda wonders if Chief Brennan will target Michael to help Willow. Jack meets with Willow and declares that it’s time to take things to the next level. Ava tells Sonny, “The blame for that lies on your shoulders!”
