Dante talks to Lulu about the plans he had for his and Sam's family, and how quickly the engagement he'd been thinking about for so long ended. Instead of being jealous, Lulu's glad that he and Rocco got to be part of such a loving family when she couldn't be there for them. Dante assures her that he doesn't blame her at all for the way things have unfolded. Laura lets Lucky know that Sidwell is in town, news that Lucky really doesn't need while he's in the middle of investigating Cyrus. He promises to keep his distance, and though he tries to hide how concerned he is, Elizabeth can tell that he's still dealing with what he went through in Africa. He tells her that he stopped Jason from killing Sidwell before they left, so if Sidwell hurts anyone else, Lucky will blame himself. Maxie tells Sasha that gossip is spreading that Jason is the father of her baby. Despite knowing that she could shut that down with just a few works, Sasha refuses to address the subject, since it's no one's business. Emma eavesdrops, picks up the gossip, and shares it with Gio, who predicts that things are going to get messy. Jordan and Isaiah flirt for a while, and then she tells him that Sidwell is in town. Isaiah doesn't seem the slightest bit worried even before Jordan offers to have his back if Sidwell approaches him. When Sidwell shows up at the Metro Court bar, where Jordan's waiting for Isaiah to return from a phone call, Jordan strikes up a conversation with him and pretends that she doesn't believe the rumors that Sidwell is a bad guy. Brook has been thinking about telling Dante that she had his baby as a teenager, but in the wake of the news about Sam, she's decided this is a bad time for him to find out. She's also thinking about never telling Chase, since it might do more harm than good. Lois is quietly grateful and totally on board. Trina asks Curtis to talk to Kai, since he knows what it's like to recover from a life-changing injury. Curtis thinks that Kai should let himself grieve the life he thought he would have and feel however he needs to feel. Kai's friend Quinn blames Trina for Kai's injury, since she made him do distracting things like care about school and art and stuff. Trina stands up for herself, and Kai later reaches out to her, so it's pretty clear that Quinn's not going to find an ally. Alexis is full of rage over the revelation that Sam was murdered, and for some reason, they have her talk to Sonny about it, because why put her in a scene with someone who shows emotion? Laura also tells Sonny that Sidwell's in town, but she doesn't mention any suspicions floating around that he's responsible for the bomb in the penthouse.
Has anyone let Sasha know that Sidwell is in town? I think she would appreciate that.
I love how excited Emma is about her new family drama.
Brook's mention of knowing her child's date of birth (I mean, of course she knows that) makes it even more ridiculous that Gio might be her son. Does she not know his birthday??
More Sonny/Alexis scenes? Why?
Alexis needs to tell Danny that Sam was murdered in, like, the next five minutes, because everyone in town seems to know, and he's going to hear it somewhere else first.

As soon as she returns to Port Charles, Carly takes presents to her grandkids, acting on her best behavior with Willow. But Drew has just been by for a stealth quickie and left his tie behind on the couch, a tie Carly recognizes because she bought it for him. After the gatehouse, Drew goes to meet with Selina, hoping she can give him some dirt on Curtis from their time in business together. Cody interrupts to turn down an offer Selina extended to rejoin her poker games, and he and Drew butt heads again when Cody accuses Drew of being in debt to Selina. He complains that Drew and Jason are both scum, since one is sleeping with his nephew's wife and the other just got Sasha pregnant. Drew next goes to the Metro Court to talk to Anna about her responsibility to end organized crime in town. Carly shows up with the tie, exposes Drew for sleeping with Willow, and airs his dirty laundry to half the town. When she says she hopes Jason beats him up again, Drew replies by announcing that Jason got Sasha pregnant. Isaiah confronts Sidwell for his crimes in Africa, which, of course, Sidwell denies. Isaiah's confused when Jordan acts like he's out of line and Sidwell should be respected. After confirming that Sidwell wants to talk to her more at a later time, Jordan meets up with Isaiah and tells him that she's going undercover, more or less, to try to get something on him that can put him away. Isaiah doesn't like the thought of her getting close to someone so dangerous, because he hasn't learned yet that Jordan can more than take care of herself. He approves of her idea, but he tells her that whatever's developing between them will have to go undercover, too. Anna isn't pleased to learn that Josslyn has signed on to volunteer at Turning Woods so she can dig up stuff on Cyrus. She's already planned to set up surveillance there, and she's worried that Cyrus will behave himself if he knows Josslyn's on to him. Anna tells Josslyn to back off before she compromises the investigation, but it's Josslyn, so it goes in one ear and out the other. Lucky tells Elizabeth more about his time with Sidwell, including the time during one of their poker games when he felt like Luke guided him to a card that helped him win. He also mentions how he imagined her in his cell, encouraging him. They dance to a song they used to enjoy together, so I'd say chances are good for a kiss on or before Valentine's Day.- Colette takes Brennan to the house where Cyrus secretly spends time, likely doing things his parole officer wouldn't approve of. She wants to use it to bust him, but Brennan tells her to just maintain surveillance for their "secret project." He wants Josslyn to find the house and let the police become aware of it through her.
That wasn't the funny result I was hoping the Jason-is-the-baby's-father rumor would build to, but it's going to make Drew look bad, so...good enough.
I love how Tracy spent her filler scenes complaining that no one was ready for the Deception meeting, but the second Carly started yelling at Drew, she was like, "Business what?"
Hey, Willow, how do you think letting your boyfriend trespass to come sleep with you in your home on your husband's family's property will look in court during your custody battle?
One of my favorite tropes is a secret couple sneaking around, so I'm all in for whatever's in store for Isaiah and Jordan.
I was only tolerating Brennan because of Charles Mesure, so good luck winning me over, Chris McKenna, who couldn't even bother to use an Australian accent.
Why do I feel like Brennan is testing Josslyn to see if she would make a good WSB agent?
February 5th, 2025
Drew trash-talks Jason while Carly dismisses his accusations as nothing compared to Drew's recent behavior. When Drew implies that Jason took advantage of Sasha because her role as a cook means there's a power imbalance between them, Sasha jumps in and lectures him for dragging her into his personal issues. Drew admits that he went too far, but the damage is done, and now everyone wants to know if Jason is really the baby's father. On the plus side, Tracy suddenly feels bad for the way she's treated Sasha, and she offers her full support (though it's probably only because she thinks the baby's a Quartermaine). Speaking of Tracy, she's not happy that Drew went to the gatehouse to see Willow, and she's on the verge of kicking Willow out without Wiley and Amelia. Brook steps in to work things out, but Willow refuses to follow the one rule Tracy set in place. Despite Brook's valiant attempts to smooth everything over, Willow decides to move back into Nina's place. We'll never know what might or might not have happened if Lucky and Elizabeth had kept dancing because Ric interrupts. At least he has good news: The hospital is reinstating Elizabeth effective immediately. Lucky sucks it up and asks Ric to find out the terms of Cyrus' parole agreement. He tells Elizabeth that if they can't get proof that Cyrus has been killing people, maybe they can get him busted for violating parole. Elizabeth is totally on board, and totally willing to frame Cyrus if it means he goes back to prison. Kristina disagrees with Alexis' decision to tell Danny that Sam was murdered, since she thinks he'll react by doing something self-destructive. Alexis points out that Sam wouldn't shy away from the truth, but Kristina isn't sure that the Davises are equipped to help Danny through something that he should have Sam for. Lucas talked to Brennan (I guess those scenes were deleted) and suspects that he and Carly are involved. Carly's all coy and "maybe we are, maybe we aren't," which her brother really doesn't appreciate. He advises her to think about whether she really wants to get into another relationship with someone who won't be completely honest with her. Josslyn gets Cyrus' super to let her into his apartment, but all she finds there is a dried flower in a Bible. When Cyrus gets home later, it looks like he notices that it's been disturbed. Sasha confronts Cody for spreading rumors about her and generally being a bad friend. Honestly, it's not that satisfying, so I'm going to need a follow-up. Dante laments to Cody that since he's not allowed to investigate Sam's murder, he feels like he can't do anything useful. Cody encourages him to be there for Danny when he finds out that his mother was murdered. Lulu asks Anna for any updates she might have on Valentin and Charlotte, but all Anna knows is that they popped up in Germany and then went underground again. Lulu's frustrated that a bunch of spies haven't been able to do their job. Drew asks Maxie to help him decorate the huge house he just bought, because he thinks she might know what Scout needs/wants, and apparently he can't just ask Scout himself. Cyrus shows up at GH, but Brad tears into him and chases him off.
Drew implying that Jason isn't an "angel" because Sasha is his family's cook is so gross.
I have to give it up for Carly, who didn't even blink over the Jason gossip.
Oh, you're an adult who can make her own decisions, Willow? Then move out and pay rent on your own place. That's what adults do.
Darn you, Lansing!
"GH caved because they want you to go away. And, uh, I can relate." Ha! Suck it, Ric.
Elizabeth is one of Ric's three favorite people. I assume the other two are Molly and himself.
Did Alexis talk to Jason about telling Danny what happened to Sam? That should really be his call.
February 6th, 2025
Rocco overhears Dante begging Chase to tell him who the police think killed Sam. Chase only spills that it's Cyrus when Dante swears that he won't get involved or do anything illegal. Danny takes the news about Sam's murder better than anyone expected, and he agrees with Alexis, Kristina, and Molly that they shouldn't tell Scout. Alexis is concerned that one of his first thoughts was whether Jason knows. Kristina tells her that while she dislikes vengeance over justice, not everyone feels the same. When Danny gets home, he tells Rocco that Sam was murdered, and Rocco supplies the name of her suspected killer. Lois meets with Martin, hoping to find a way to ensure that Gio (yes, he's confirmed to be Brook and Dante's biological child) never finds out how true paternity. When Tracy shows up to complain to Martin that Willow left the gatehouse, Lois pretends that she came for the same reason. Brennan subtly guides Josslyn to look into where Cyrus might be stashing incriminating things, since there's nothing in his apartment. Josslyn is even better at this than he expected, as she remembers Cyrus' connection to Austin and thinks Cyrus could be using property listed in Austin's name. Willow admits to Nina that she was probably wrong to let Drew visit her at the gatehouse, and she didn't handle things with Brook well. Nina's happy to hear that, but then Willow invites Drew over and all of Nina's happiness disappears. She warns Drew that his actions could cost Willow and tells him to just move to D.C. already. He says Willow would come with him, and Nina implies that she would fight to keep that from happening, as if she has any control over it. Brad's cocky about his blackmail of Portia, and though Portia warns him not to take it too far, she can't really do anything. Curtis is worried that Stella has become too friendly with Brad and decides to have a conversation with him, over Portia's protests. Fortunately for her, Brad doesn't say anything to raise suspicions, and Curtis just wants to make sure that Brad isn't working for Selina again. Gio tries to encourage Brook when she feels like she screwed things up with Willow. Lucas is still preoccupied with the state of Carly's relationship with Brennan, but after she sees him talking to Brad, he can't exactly criticize.
I'm going to keep asking for it until I get it: I want a murder mystery. Make Cyrus the victim. We deserve a treat.
Lois: "Gio is Brook's son." Audience: "Yeah, we've known that for, like, five months."
LOL, Josslyn's the only person who cares about Austin's death.
"It would be unfair to anyone, especially Michael, to deny our feelings for each other." Um, what? Drew and Willow owe it to Michael to hook up?
February 7th, 2025
Nina wants to meet with Carly, who's correctly guessed that she wants them to work together to break up Willow and Drew. Lucas advises Carly to stay out of it so she doesn't further complicate an already complicated situation. Nina asks Maxie to help her convince Carly to team up with her, but Maxie, like Lucas, doesn't think they should get involved. She shares that Drew is buying a house and will likely try to move Willow and the kids in, which makes Nina want to break them up faster. Carly agrees to hear her out and is surprised when Nina acknowledges that Drew did to Willow and Michael what she did to Carly and Sonny. Carly's leaning towards taking Lucas' advice to leave things alone, so Nina spills that Drew might be about to move Willow and the kids in with him. Elizabeth has shared her suspicions about Cyrus with the nurse she knows at Turning Woods, Gail, and that plus the Spencers' revelation that he never had the right to make decisions for Lulu have gotten him banned from visiting patients there. Cyrus approaches Lulu, violating the restraining order against him, and tries to convince her that he's changed over the years. When she calls him out for the power he tried to wield while she was at Turning Woods, he makes it out like he was the only one there for her and tells her that no one has done more for her than he has. Sidwell meets with Drew to discuss getting the esplanade project back in motion. He'd like the location to include the pier where the Corinthos Coffee warehouse is located. Laura crashes their conversation and tells Drew that Sidwell kidnapped Lucky and almost killed him. Sidwell hints that if she doesn't back off, he'll sue her for defamation. Jordan asks Anna to loan her some PCPD equipment she can use for her undercover-ish investigation of Sidwell. She expects to be lectured, but Anna's totally on board with her tapping into her law enforcement past. In L.A., Sonny is either in denial about how serious his heart problems are or just doesn't think they're more important than finding out who planted the bomb in his penthouse. He tells Natalia that secrecy is crucial because his enemies could strike if they knew he wasn't at 100 percent. When he learns that he needs a pacemaker, he brushes it off and puts the bomb mystery at the top of his priority list again. Sidwell is everyone's top suspect as the bomber, so when a guy in the waiting room of Sonny's doctor calls him, it's not that big of a surprise. What is a surprise is that the guy has been following Natalia, not Sonny. Elizabeth starts back at work and immediately tries to find out from Portia if Cyrus is on the police's radar as the murder suspect. That gets her nowhere, but she confers with Lucas and learns that Josslyn is going a little too far in her personal investigation. While she's concerned that Cyrus will target Josslyn, she should be more worried about herself, because Cyrus is already on to her influence at Turning Woods and may suspect her of breaking into his apartment. Lulu has changed her strategy for finding Charlotte, using social media and the Internet to try to connect her to equestrians and stables in Europe.
Nina, please explain to me how Willow is "vulnerable." Drew sucks, but he's not "taking advantage" of her.
As much as I would love for this Drew/Willow nonsense to end, I'm with Maxie – they're adults and get to make their own decisions, even if they're horrible ones. Enough people have told Willow that she's being an idiot, and she refuses to listen to them, so if she's going to get her heart broken, it's her own fault.
Once again, Anna is delegating something she should be doing. Is she actually conducting any investigations on her own?
Sidwell's having Natalia followed? That's definitely interesting. Of course, when it comes to Natalia, the bar for what's interesting is pretty low.
February 10th, 2025
Carly reluctantly agrees to work with Nina to drive Drew and Willow apart. Nina swears that she'll do anything it takes, but until she spills to Willow that she slept with Drew, I won't believe it. Martin confirms that Willow wants a divorce, not a reconciliation with Michael, and suggests that they respond to his filing aggressively. Nina quickly convinces her to take things slowly instead, so Michael won't overreact by filing for fully custody. Meanwhile, Carly tells Tracy to back off of Willow and wait for her to realize that Drew isn't the person she should be with. Jason returns from Germany and almost immediately learns from Tracy that people think he's the father of Sasha's baby. Jason goes straight to see Sasha, who's enduring what's basically a therapy session with Cody, overseen by Felicia. Just as Felicia gets them to drop their recent struggles, Cody accuses Jason of not stepping up for Sasha, even though she's said straight out that she wants to be a single mother, and demands to know if Jason is the baby's father. Ava arranges to "run into" Avery while she's at a playground with Donna and Kristina. She invites Avery to come see her new apartment, apparently expecting Kristina to just let them go off alone. Ric and Elizabeth come across them and Ric quickly drags Ava out of there before she risks her custody case. Her desperation to keep Avery in her life convinces him to represent her pro bono, which leads to a make-out session and the beginnings of something a little more naked. Josslyn gives Cyrus a fake apology, pretending that she believes the police's assertion that he didn't kill Dex. It's not clear if he buys it, though. Later, Colette gives Josslyn a note – supposedly from Brennan – containing the address of a property Austin bought a few weeks before his death. Trina shares her fears with Ava that she distracted Kai from giving football his full focus. Ava thinks that's ridiculous, and when Kai reaches out to patch things up with Trina, he reassures her that she had nothing to do with his injury. She promises to stop trying to micromanage his recovery, but he now appreciates her attention because he's not sure who will stick around now that he's not an NFL prospect. Ric takes another swing at getting Elizabeth to spend time with him, but when she mentions Lucky, it seems like he's finally understanding that he's missed his chance with her.
"Drew is the worst thing to ever happen to Willow." Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with being raped by a cult leader and being impregnanted by a baby who died just hours after birth. But you do you, Nina.
What gives Cody the impression that Jason is entitled and never takes responsibility when he should?
Time to find a hobby, Felicia.
So Ava thought she would be able to take Avery from Josslyn? Has she met Josslyn?
It never made sense that Ric wouldn't take Ava's case pro bono. What's money compared to the chance to take one of Sonny's kids away from him?
Excellent move, Josslyn. Let's see if it does what you want it to.
February 11th, 2025
Sasha throws water in Cody's face rather than answering his questions about the baby's paternity, then storms out. She asks Jason to pretend he's the baby's father, because apparently that will keep her from accidentally telling anyone that it's really Michael. Jason agrees, because of course he does, and promises to respect her wishes about not getting too involved. His only condition is that they tell Danny the truth, which Sasha's totally fine with. Cyrus thinks that he might be able to convince Lucky to advocate for him to try to smooth things over with Laura and Lulu. He asks Martin to go to Charlie's with him as a buffer, but then he doesn't even bother to talk to Lucky. Danny's determined to confront Cyrus, so when he sees in a photo on Kai's social media that Cyrus is at Charlie's, he heads over. Rocco tells Jason and Sasha, worried that Danny will do something he shouldn't. Danny accuses Cyrus of killing Sam, refusing to believe Cyrus when he denies it. Just as Cyrus puts a hand on his shoulder and invites him to pray, Jason shows up and roars at Cyrus not to touch his son. Willow plans to stop hiding her relationship with Drew, since Martin doesn't think it'll hurt anything, seeing as how it's public knowledge. Nina hates this, but Willow blames lies and secrets for all her recent trouble, as telling the truth after her first kiss with Drew would have averted everything. Nina seems poised to spill that she had her friends-with-benefits thing with Drew, but I'm sure something will stop her at the last minute. Kristina calls Sonny to let him know that Ava more or less tried to kidnap Avery right in front of her. Kristina sees this as a huge plus for Sonny in the custody battle, but Natalia thinks that he should use it as leverage for a compromise. Curtis sits in on a meeting between Jordan and Sidwell about getting the esplanade project back on track and quickly clocks that Sidwell is shady. Jordan continues playing her part and strengthening her new friendship with Sidwell. Emma asks Kai to join her anti-animal-cruelty group, SAAC, and speak at an upcoming fundraiser. He happily agrees and enlists Trina to participate as well. Cody admits to Felicia that he keeps wanting to be Sasha's hero, and it's hard not to be on good terms with her. But he agrees to let her live her life, even if it means someone else gets to be her hero. Isaiah has to keep his mouth shut while Kristina talks about how Sonny hasn't come to Charlie's because he's really busy and had to go away on business.
Agreeing to pretend to be the baby's father is just Jason undoing all of his character development from the past 30 years.
I'm so confused – Sonny doesn't need a pacemaker, even though that's what they said Friday, but he does need surgery? But he doesn't actually need it for three months?
Jordan is so good at being undercover, she fooled Curtis!
Emma: "Did you guys get drinks without us?" Gio: "Well, we asked; you were talking." Trina: "So we started drinking passive-aggressively." Hee hee.
Cody needs friends or a hobby or something. He should start working with SAAC.
February 12th, 2015
Jason warns Cyrus that if he ever lays a finger on Danny again, they'll never find his body. Instead of lecturing Danny for confronting Cyrus, Jason basically just tells him not to do it so angrily next time. He and Sasha clue Danny in that the baby isn't Jason's, and he agrees to keep quiet. Jason wants to go after Cyrus, but Sasha advises him to think about whether it would be worth it to lose Danny's respect. Tracy interrupts before Nina can tell Willow about her hookups with Drew. After Alexis has dragged Tracy away, Willow gets in a self-pitying mood, which Nina has to pep-talk her out of. Willow gushes over how great Nina has been, effectively killing Nina's plans to tell her anything. After Cyrus' super tells Chase that a young blonde recently came by his apartment, Anna has Chase bring Josslyn in for questioning. Josslyn won't admit to anything, and she obviously doesn't care about Anna's warnings that she could be putting a target on herself. Anna decides to arrest her for trespassing, but if she thinks Josslyn will learning anything from this, she's hugely mistaken. Lulu fills in for Josslyn at Bobbie's, and when she finds herself in over her head, Dante lends a hand. They end up having a good time together, but Dante shuts down right after, as if he doesn't deserve to take a break from grieving. Lucky and Elizabeth worry that Cyrus will get spooked about people being on to him and flee town before they can dig up more on his connections to his victims. They decide to take what they have against him to the police right away, to make sure they don't miss their chance. Well, not right away, since they want to finish the dance Ric interrupted first. Cyrus spies on them in a super-creepy way. Carly and Brennan go on what I'm sure they'll deny is a date at the same bar where Lucas and Maxie are hanging out. Maxie wants Lucas to stop thinking he's not ever going to find love or a family and start dating again. She even has a Deception model picked out for him. Lucas is more interested in trying again to convince Carly not to get involved with someone who's clearly bad news. Carly denies that she's getting involved with Brennan and suggests that she and Lucas both try to move past their previous bad relationships. She's so successful that Lucas agrees to let Maxie fix him up with the model. After learning that Cyrus has done horrible things to Trina and her parents, Kai tells him to leave Charlie's. If Trina wasn't sure yet how she feels about him, this should tip the scales, but Kai's the one who's impressed, since Trina's able to be in the same room as someone who terrorized her family without showing that it bothers her. She tells him that she's learned to separate the things that have happened to her from who she is and won't let fear have any power over her. Martin wants Cyrus to tell the police about Jason's death threat, but Cyrus says he's trying to avoid violence (LOL, okay, sweetie). Martin goes to Anna on his own, tired of her giving Jason special treatment. Emma tries to distract Trina from Cyrus' presence at Charlie's by talking about SAAC again, which Gio interprets as self-centered. They quickly clear that up and head out together to pass out fliers for the SAAC fundraiser. They run into Dante and Lulu, and Emma comments that Dante and Gio both have nice eyelashes. Alexis asks Tracy to stop bothering Drew and Willow, since they could easily just leave town, meaning Alexis loses access to Scout. Tracy doesn't really feel like it, so Alexis uses that long-ago fake-DUI thing as leverage to get Tracy to come around. And to her credit, Tracy says she doesn't want Alexis to lose any more people she loves. Maxie warns Brennan not to get involved with Carly because she knows he'll inevitably get reassigned to another location and Carly doesn't deserve any more pain in her life. Kristina and Isaiah are filler.
"You need to get your anger under control," says the guy who just yelled a death threat at someone in public.
I'm impressed with Danny's maturity. He didn't complain when Jason told him to stay out of the Cyrus situation, he immediately backed off when Sasha said they weren't going to tell him who the baby's father is, and he appreciates that Rocco told Jason where he was instead of being mad that Rocco snitched on him.
When Willow started crying over how – maybe, just maybe – she's a horrible person, I rolled my eyes so hard, I sprained something.
Kai, I think I might love you.
More Tracy/Alexis scenes, please.
Maxie was so perfect today, telling Brennan not to hurt Carly, then telling the bartender to put her drink on his tab.
February 13th, 2025
Sasha runs into Elaine and they chat a little about Sasha's pregnancy. When Felicia tells Sasha that Elaine is a PI and uses her dog, Mavis, to distract people while gathering dirt, Sasha worries that she's being investigated. She's right, as Martin hired Elaine to find something negative about Michael that will help Willow. Martin believes the rumor that Jason is the father of Sasha's baby, put it seems like he and Elaine could easily put everything together. Sasha uses Elaine's own tricks against her, employing Mavis to distract her owner so Sasha can steal Elaine's notes, but Mavis runs into the street and apparently Elaine gets hit by a car. Dante's already back at the PCPD, wanting updates on the investigation into Sam's murder. Anna sends him away again, turning her attention to what's quickly becoming the talk of the town: Jason's threats against Cyrus. She tells him that there's no evidence so far that Cyrus killed Sam, and he needs to stay out of it so the police can investigate and get answers, which won't be possible if Jason kills Cyrus. Jason won't agree to obey, so Anna arrests him. After determining that Elizabeth doesn't plan to say anything about what happened at the playground and risk Ava's chance at getting custody of Avery, Ric tries again to get some time with her. She's working, so she shuts him down, leading him to go to Ava instead. Ava starts to tell Nina that they hooked up, but Ric quickly stops her, claiming it's because they can't let it get out that Ava's sleeping with her lawyer. Ava provides him with ammo (no pun intended) when she remembers that time Sonny was shot at on the island while Avery was nearby. Kristina tells Alexis about the Jason/Cyrus/Danny debacle, and they call in Dante to learn more about the police's suspicions that Cyrus killed Sam. Dante feels bad about being the person responsible for Danny pursuing Cyrus, which could put him in danger, but Chase, who's just confessed to Anna that he told Dante things he shouldn't have, also feels guilty. Cody tries to get Molly to talk to him at the hospital, but she's in a rush to get out of there. They end up getting locked on the roof together, which leads to a fight, because that's all they do. After they make up, Molly admits that she was trying to flee because she used her job to get documents she's not supposed to have access to. Ava pressures Nina again to tell Willow about being with Drew, but when Nina says that Willow needs her and is finally accepting her as a mother, Ava agrees that she should stay in the dark. Chase asks Elizabeth about the events at Charlie's, and after playing coy about what she may or may not have witnessed, she flat out lies that she didn't hear Jason threaten Cyrus. Sonny fills Jason in on his health issues, still unconcerned about delaying surgery since it can wait but finding the person who put the bomb in his penthouse can't. Also, Sonny and Nina run into each other and...I don't know, I guess we're just supposed to reflect on how much things have changed for them over the past year?
Sasha may have gotten a woman killed over a notebook, Molly and Cody could freeze to death because of documents...big day for paper.
Is Josslyn in lockup? She and Jason can hang out.
Anna can't put Chase on leave because she wouldn't have enough cops left to do the work she doesn't do.
What makes Ric think that Diane won't subpoena Elizabeth and make her testify about what happened at the playground?
February 14th, 2025
Sonny takes Natalia's recent advice and offers Ava shared custody of Avery, finally acknowledging that their daughter needs to have both her parents in her life. Ric loudly objects, insisting that he can get Ava full custody. Sonny thinks Ric wants to drag things out so he can screw over his brother and put Kristina through the wringer again. Ignoring Ric's warnings that Sonny won't adhere to whatever agreement they work out, Ava accepts Sonny's offer. Ric handles it like a child who didn't get his way, and Kristina isn't much better when she learns the news, telling Sonny that he took the easy way out. He wants her to let it go, but she's definitely going to do something dumb. Elaine's fine, but she needs help with Mavis while she's recovering from her injuries, so Sasha steps in. Though Sasha genuinely feels bad for her, Elaine misinterprets all of her attention and decides that she deserves the truth that someone's looking into her life. Alexis claims to be Jason's lawyer so she can visit him in lockup. She tells him that she understands his rage against Cyrus and his desire to kill whoever murdered Sam, because she desperately wants to be the one to do that. But she knows that if Jason kills Cyrus, Danny will feel responsible, and Jason can't let him go through that. Brook complains to Maxie that Lulu is slacking, something Lulu doesn't do herself any favors about when she's late to a meeting. A new Deception product requires some kind of hard-to-access zinc, so Lucy brings in Sidwell to help. Lulu calls him out for what he did to Lucky, so Sidwell excuses himself. Lucy and Brook are mad at Lulu for jeopardizing a partnership, but Maxie wants to know all there is to know about Sidwell before they agree to do business with him. Molly regrets getting Sam's autopsy report, since, as Cody gently points out, it's probably not going to help her do anything the police can't. But he understands why she got it and says he would have done the same thing. That doesn't make Molly feel any better, since she doesn't really want to have anything in common with Cody. After spotting Isaiah and Lucas out in front of the building, Cody tosses his jeans off the side of the roof and finally gets himself and Molly rescued. The way Natalia looks at Sidwell and then leaves the room when he shows up at the Deception meeting hints that she knows him, and when he approaches her afterward, he confirms it: They used to be married. Lulu gathers up the courage to go see Kristina and express her condolences over Sam's death. Kristina assures her that she sees Lulu's transplant and Sam's death as separate events, so she doesn't blame Lulu for what happened. Lulu's curious about Sam and Dante's relationship, so Kristina tells her a little about it. Lulu's glad that Dante moved on from her and got to be with someone he loved for a while. Lucas meets Sidwell when he comes to the hospital for treatment for a tick bite. Lucas seems to get a bad feeling from him, and Isaiah makes it worse by telling him what Sidwell did to him and Lucky.
I'd love it if someone reminded Kristina that she was in the exact same position as Avery when she was a kid, and it's why she didn't get to spend a lot of time with Sonny or her brothers.
I get Lucy being willing to dismiss Sidwell's crimes for business purposes, but Brook? Gross. She's totally only doing it because Lulu made the accusations against Sidwell.
A+ continuity: Lucas lived at Wyndemere as a kid.
Lucas' face when Sidwell touched his arm was so funny. Same with his face when he and Isaiah saw Cody and Molly on the roof.

Elizabeth spells out for Anna what she and Lucky have put together about Cyrus likely killing two people at Turning Woods in addition to Sam, Dex, and the other patient at the hospital. They dug through his trash and found an invoice for syringes sent to Paul Damascus, an alias Cyrus would likely use. There's an indication that there was another package in that shipment, and Elizabeth asks Anna to get in touch with the company and find out if it contained digitalis. Meanwhile, Cyrus prepares a new syringe, then calls the hospital to find out if Elizabeth is at work. Sasha warns Jason that Elaine is snooping around, and it's only a matter of time before someone starts questioning the baby's paternity. She wants to drop hints that the rumor about Jason being the father is right. Jason gives her permission, so when Willow sees them talking, Sasha kisses him. Mac sees them together and has PTSD from when Jason and Robin were together. Martin tells Willow that they'll have to wait on having Elaine dig up dirt on Michael, but he's still pursuing that angle. Willow would really like to come to a compromise with Michael, which Martin says doesn't happen in divorce. Someone (probably Tracy) moved Willow's car from the Quartermaines' garage to the street, and as a result, it was impounded. Mac helps Willow with all the paperwork, and she confides that she's starting to regret ever getting involved with the Quartermaines. Before a meeting about the esplanade, Laura and Curtis agree that Drew's plan to invoke eminent domain and steal two of Sonny's piers isn't a good idea for a number of reasons. Jordan joins them and reveals that she's scheming against Sidwell in hopes of finding out what his intentions are. When Drew gets to the meeting, he lays out his argument to take Sonny's piers and challenges the others to decide whether they're going to do what's best for the city or what will cause the least amount of trouble with Sonny. Trina wants to help Josslyn through her first Valentine's Day without Dex, but Josslyn just wants to check out the address Colette gave her. When Kai texts Trina, asking for a date, Josslyn cheers them on and convinces Trina to start dating again. Sonny tells Carly that he and Ava settled their custody fight, though he gives Diane the credit for talking him into a 50/50 split and leaves Natalia out of it. Carly can tell that he's hiding something, but he just says he's trying to clear his plate so he can look into the bombing and help Michael. Carly asks if Sonny's heard that Jason is the father of Sasha's baby, something she hasn't gotten around to talking to Jason about yet. Sonny tells her to do nothing until Jason approaches her.
Why does Elizabeth have to keep suggesting how Anna should do her job?? Anna, you suck at this so much!
I'm disappointed that we didn't get to see Lucky and Elizabeth Dumpster diving.
Mac argued against Jason being charged with anything, so he should be tested for mind-altering drugs. He should also be monitored in case he has a heart attack from believing that, 30 years later, he has to deal with another niece getting involved with Jason.
Josslyn's excitement over Kai and Trina's date is adorable.
Why no follow-up on Josslyn's arrest?
Please, like Carly didn't camp out at the mansion waiting for Jason ten minutes after she heard the rumor that he's the baby's father.
Where's the moss? Someone put out an APB on the moss!
February 18th, 2025
Anna can't keep Jason in lockup much longer, so while she's waiting for a warrant for Cyrus' arrest, she begs him not to commit any murders once he's released. Instead of pointing out that he could land himself in prison and miss more time with Danny, so tries to guilt him by saying that it would make her look bad to let a friend off the hook for murder. Jason won't make any promises, practically screaming that the second he's out of there, he's hunting down Cyrus. He should act fast, because Cyrus is at Elizabeth's door right now. Aiden offers to skip his Valentine's Day plans with Tobias to stay home and basically be a chaperone for Lucky and Elizabeth. Elizabeth sends him off and tells Lucky that she doesn't need any protection from him, because she knows he won't hurt her. Lucky clearly wants to make things romantic, but Elizabeth sends him away before she gives in to any temptation she might be feeling. Lulu thinks she's a bad mother because she knows so little about Rocco. Dante assures her that that will start to change, and that just her presence back in Rocco's life is doing him a ton of good. Some cupcake-related goofiness between them would probably lead to a kiss if the circumstances were different. Maxie's sick, so she tags in Spinelli to introduce Lucas to Gunther, the model she set him up with for Valentine's Day. Brad's there, which may or may not be the reason Lucas can't focus on his date. He lasts about five minutes before he tells Gunther that he's just not ready to get into another relationship yet. The good news is that Gunther seems really nice and invites Lucas to call him if he wants another date. The bad news is that Lucas seems to be gravitating back toward Brad. Kai takes Trina to the Savoy, all proud of himself for getting a table at the town's hottest club on Valentine's Day. Trina lets him have his moment, then confesses that her father owns the place. Curtis and Portia are happy to see her dating again, and happy in general with where their lives are now. Felicia is way too patient with Mac while he practically has a meltdown over the possibility of Jason and Sasha being into each other. Carly and Brennan hang out, and I...I just don't get it. Chase surprises Brook with a performance at the Savoy.
When Anna says that her officers won't respect her if Jason kills Cyrus and she looks the other way, what she's really saying is that she'll let him get away with literal murder.
If Tobias is going to be on again, they HAVE to get a new Aiden. You can't pair up a guy who looks 15 with a guy who looks 27.
The small amount Lulu knows about Rocco makes me think she hasn't spent any time with him. How does she not know if he has friends??
"Ruby Stone? Did you meet the parents who did that to her?" HA!
Kai thinking he's a stud for getting Trina into the club her father owns was hilarious.
Normally I would never laugh at someone having a migraine, but Mac had to go and be a drama queen.
Donna and Avery, I'll give you each $5 and a bag of candy to interrupt Carly and Brennan.
February 19th, 2025
Elizabeth gets Cyrus to spill that he gave Lulu the medication that harmed her liver because he was trying to mercy-kill her. When that didn't work, he turned off her ventilator, then killed Sam to punish her for the transplant, since it ruined his plans to "free" Lulu from her suffering. Though it was pretty obvious already, we get official confirmation that Cyrus killed Dex so he couldn't tell anyone that Cyrus was at the hospital when Sam died. Elizabeth pieces the rest together herself, knowing that Cyrus served as an angel of death for people in pain and thought he was doing God's work. Though Elizabeth pretends to be supportive, Cyrus tells her he has to kill her. Lucky picks the exact right time to come back to the house, and Elizabeth is able to get away and call the police while he fights Cyrus. But Cyrus is the one with the weapon, and Lucky ends up getting stuck with a syringe full of digitalis. Brook and Lulu get in a big fight about something work-related that spirals into Lulu saying that Brook has a perfect life. When Brook says that's not true, Lulu tells her that it's her own fault if she's not getting something she wants. Dante overhears and, having just learned from Chase that he can't father children, tells Lulu why she was out of line. Willow and Drew go to the Savoy, but Curtis almost immediately throws them out. Instead of arguing, Drew takes Willow to his new house. Emma wants Josslyn to get involved with her fundraiser since she thinks Josslyn's participation would bring in a lot of support. Josslyn is only 20 percent listening; the other 80 percent of her is thinking about getting off work so she can go to the address Colette gave her, which she finally does at the end of the episode. Gio tells Emma that her sales pitch needs some work, but he admires how devoted she is to her cause. Lucas and Brad roll their eyes over Drew and Willow taking their relationship public, while Willow fumes about Lucas spending time with Brad. Brad talks a little about his loneliness, and it looks like Lucas might be tempted to do things he know he shouldn't, so it's a relief when he leaves before anything can happen. Thank you to Donna for having a bad dream and keeping Carly and Brennan from going beyond a brief make-out session.
Elizabeth handled things almost perfectly – she steered into the crazy and used the same language Cyrus did to make him get that she understood where he was coming from. Pretty much the only thing she should have done differently was ask to team up with him. Even more impressive, she did this all while more scared than I can ever remember seeing her.
Cyrus' motive for killing Sam is kind of weak. It would have made more sense if he'd killed her before surgery, hoping she wouldn't be able to save Lulu, and they'd just transplanted her entire liver.
Not to get too confident but I imagine Cyrus has to be on his way out after this.
Enough, Lulu. Go run Bobbie's. Also, enough with the I-was-in-a-coma-for-four-years-and-now-my-life-kinda-sucks sob story. Try having compassion for other people.
Thanks, Donna! Your candy and $5 are on the way.
February 20th, 2025
Elizabeth keeps Lucky alive until paramedics arrive, and Isaiah tries to save him at the hospital. Cyrus makes a clean getaway and goes to his hideout, where Josslyn has just found the hospital bracelets he removed from his victims after killing them. Cyrus brandishes an axe, but it's no match against Dex's gun, which Josslyn brought with her. As he dies, Cyrus notes that now she's a murderer, too. After confirming that he's dead, Josslyn calls Brennan. Chase goes on and on about how Brook will never get to be pregnant because of him, even though she keeps insisting that she's fine having children another way. Eventually she gets so upset hearing him beat himself up that she tells him she's already been pregnant and had a baby. Willow has very good reasons not to move in with Drew, and though he makes a compelling argument for why she should, she doesn't give in. She's also not ready to tell Wiley that she and Drew are together, so Drew's desire to become one big, happy family is still a fantasy for now. Jason goes to Sam's grave to work out what he sees as a dilemma over whether or not to kill Cyrus. He pretty much already knows the answer, though, which is to do what Sam would want and put Danny first. As soon as he's committed to that, Jason goes to Drew and announces that he wants to make peace for Sam's sake. Lulu feels bad about bugging Brook, but she also feels like Brook stepped into her life while she was comatose, and now she won't be able to get back everything she had. Curtis asks Stella to introduce him to a congressman who's an old friend so he can get at Drew from another angle. Stella thinks that Drew is gunning for Curtis because Curtis made him confront who he is now.- Laura, Jordan, and Anna discuss whether it's better to tick off Sonny or take on the apparent Drew/Sidwell team-up when it comes to the esplanade project. Jordan has what I would say is the best justification for favoring Sonny: Better the devil they know than the one they don't.
How frustrating that they had the perfect setup for a murder mystery and just let it drop. Instead, they're basically redoing Claudia's death.
It was clever to show that Josslyn has Brennan and Jason's names next to each other in her phone, so we would wonder which one she was calling, but the fact that we saw that Jason was still with Drew ruined the mystery.
If this leads to Brook and Chase breaking up, I will cry.
I need Chase to stop acting like infertility is a terminal illness and Brook is a saint for staying with him. I also need him to stop acting like Brook is being deprived of something. Let's ask Lulu if she feels any differently about Charlotte and Rocco just because she didn't carry them.
Imagine Brook and Chase deciding to become foster parents and a social worker coming to the mansion for a home visit.
February 21st, 2025
Brennan gives Josslyn the option to call the police and try to convince them that she killed Cyrus in self-defense or let him cover up his killing. She chooses option B, so he takes her to his office and gets rid of any evidence tying her to the crime scene, though he keeps Dex's gun. He reveals that he's been orchestrating things so Josslyn would put things together and go to the hideout. He thinks she would make a great WSB agent, and this was basically a test. Josslyn's blown away by that and just wants to make sure that he'll keep quiet about what she did even if she won't join the WSB. Brennan will, but he expects her to come back eventually and enlist. It takes a while, but Isaiah and Portia stabilize Lucky. After learning that Cyrus killed Sam, Dante convinces Anna to let him join the search for Cyrus. Thanks to some digging from Jordan, they make the Austin/Cyrus connection that Josslyn previously did, and they take a team to his hideout. Brennan's already had it scrubbed, but that's enough to make the police suspicious, since even Cyrus' fingerprints aren't inside. Chase seems upset at first that Brook has been keeping such a huge secret from him, but he's actually upset on her behalf, since she had to endure something so difficult as a teenager and felt like she couldn't tell anyone. He comforts her and offers his support if she decides she wants to find her child. Jason extends an olive branch to Drew so their kids will be able to stay in touch now that Drew and Scout have moved out of the mansion. Drew hates that the Quartermaines prefer Jason over him, and he's going to use that as an excuse to keep Scout from them, even if that means defying Sam's wishes for Scout to stay close to Danny and Rocco. Laura tells Lulu that Cyrus was responsible for her liver failure, but since that liver failure led to the transplant that probably led to Lulu waking up, it's a weird situation. Laura's just glad that the result was Lulu emerging from the coma, because of Cyrus had gotten his way, she'd be dead. Tracy bugs Sasha about what she expects from the Quartermaines, assuming her baby is one. Sasha says she doesn't want anything from them, complains that she has no privacy, and "admits" that Jason is the baby's father. Tracy's pleased that Jason is finally back in the fold, especially now that Drew is turning on them.
"Shouldn't we contact the police?" If you want to tell the police what happened, why did you call Brennan first??
I'm waiting for Jason to get accused of doing something to Cyrus and have to convince Drew to give him an alibi.
Heart hands and heart eyes for Chase.
Drew is pretty much just one step above kicking a puppy or stealing an ice cream cone from a little kid. I hope Alexis goes after him for isolating Scout from her family.
February 24th, 2025
As news spreads around town that Cyrus has vanished, Sonny expresses surprise to Jason that he would get rid of him when the police must be keeping an eye on him. Jason swears that he didn't do anything, but of course, he's Anna's #1 suspect. When she brings him in for questioning, he tells her that Sasha and Alexis convinced him not to go after Cyrus. Anna allows that Cyrus could have just fled on his own, but Jason figures that since his house looks like it was cleaned by someone who knows how to cover up a crime, that's probably what happened. Anna seems to buy that Jason's innocent, but that might change when Chase informs her that the only identifiable evidence in the house was Jason's hair. Josslyn does a pretty good job of keeping herself together the day after killing Cyrus, though Trina can tell that something's off with her. Josslyn makes up a reasonable cover story about spending the previous evening at Dex's apartment. She plays innocent when Felicia brings up the Cyrus situation, but she can't hide her shock when she learns that Jason is the police's top suspect. Brook happily tells Lois that Chase knows everything about her child (except who his father is) and took it all well. Lois tries not to panic over the possibility of Brook wanting to find her son. There's something about Gio and Sonny and Lois and money, but it really just comes down to how the Cerullos have taken care of Gio since his mother's death, and how Brook has no clue why Lois has stepped up so much for him. Quinn complains to Kai about Trina, still feeling like she's the reason he's unable to play football anymore. He also feels like Kai has changed after spending so much time with her. Kai tells him that Trina's what's keeping him going right now, and he's grateful that she's helping him see that his life is about more than just football. Trina downplays for Josslyn how great her date with Kai was, later telling Ava that she didn't want Josslyn to feel even lonelier than she already does. Ava's happy that Trina's started talking about her grief in the past tense and is interested in someone. Trina downplays that, too, saying that Kai only sees her as a friend, especially compared to all the women on campus who are into him. Cue Kai calling her and asking her to meet up with him. Laura fills Martin in on the Cyrus situation, and Martin kicks himself for not picking up on the fact that Cyrus was a little too interested in being allowed back into the hospital to visit patients. He also regrets going to the police after Jason threatened Cyrus. Dante tells the Davises that Cyrus killed Sam and has now disappeared. They figure that means he's going to get away with murder, which Kristina is especially frustrated about. For some reason, Ric is the one who comforts Alexis over the news. Ava's in a great mood now that her trial is in the past and the custody case is over. Also, she has Ric in her bed, which...well, to each her own, you know?
I can tell that I'm going to get tired of this new main plot quickly.
"Why did you think I did it?" Because anyone with more than two brain cells would suspect that you killed the guy whose life you threatened in public, Jason.
I think Brook might be able to put together that Gio is her son. I actually thought she might start down that path today, but she turned out to be clueless.
"He just sees me as a friend." The guy who asked you out on Valentine's Day only sees you as a friend? Trina, you're adorable.
February 25th, 2025
An ADA named Turner, who I guess is making decisions with Robert gone, informs Anna that she's been removed from Cyrus' case because her judgment where Jason is concerned can't be trusted. Anna gets smug when Jason won't talk to Turner, even though he was very open with Anna about his innocence and having Drew as an alibi. Turner summons Drew to the PCPD (and Willow comes along because they're attached at the hip) and invites him to either confirm or deny that he was with Jason during the time period when Cyrus disappeared. Josslyn rushes to the PCPD and tells Anna and Turner that Jason's innocent. When she learns that they have DNA evidence saying otherwise, she goes to Brennan and asks about it. He fully admits that he's framing Jason, because I guess it would be too easy to leave the police nothing to work with. He offers to undo the framing if Josslyn wants to confess, but if she doesn't, he promises that Jason won't go to prison. Josslyn decides to save her own skin and let Jason twist based on the word of a guy she should never believe in a million years. Brennan's like, "Well, since you definitely owe me a favor now, I'd like to put you to work as a baby WSB agent." Nina and Willow show up at Drew's house while Maxie's there decorating, and things get awkward really fast. Nina accuses Drew of pressing Willow to make big life decisions before she's ready and assumes that he'll eventually want to have a baby with her. Drew thinks Nina's jealous of their relationship and warns that if she doesn't show her support, she'll lose Willow again. Nina decides that whatever Drew is keeping in the safe she can't even know at this point that he has could be used against him. Maxie really wants to stay out of this whole thing, but she points Nina toward a folder Drew forgot to put in the safe. With Cody unable to pay the rest of his debt, Selina decides that Brad is now responsible for covering it. She wants him to quit his job at GH and come back to work for her to pay it off. Portia kicks Selina out, and Brad pays her back by stabbing her in the back: To keep his job, preserve his proximity to Lucas, and pay off his debt, he gives Selina proof that Portia altered Heather's test results. Kai and Trina go to a museum and take part in a project involving a communal painting. She thinks he should explore his artistic side, but he says he only ever became interested in art because of her. Alexis is surprised when Lucas tells her that he's known (well, suspected) for a while that Cyrus killed Sam. Her memories of the night of Sam's death aren't clear, and she worries that she blamed Lucas and that that's the reason he didn't come to the funeral. He assures her that she wasn't the reason he stayed away and tells her how much he loved his sister. Portia and Jordan discuss Cyrus' disappearance, which has them both relieved after spending years worrying about him. Jordan, however, finds the whole situation a little too neatly wrapped up. Carly admits to Brennan that she's glad their time together on Valentine's Day was interrupted because she's not comfortable with whatever they have progressing when she doesn't know how to define it. She declares that their flirtation has to end, and I'm sure she'll stick to that decision.
Josslyn, why do you think you can trust Brennan??
The odds that Drew will confirm Jason's alibi are pretty low, but he would be smart to do it and have Jason owe him.
Jason and Drew have the same DNA, so Diane can easily get the case thrown out by arguing that there's no way to know the DNA from the house is Jason's.
Maxie needs to start just walking away when Nina bugs her.
Oh, Brad. OH, BRAD.
Laura Wright is trying valiantly to conjure up chemistry between Carly and Brennan, but even she can't pull it off.
February 26th, 2025
Josslyn figures that if she doesn't agree to work for the WSB, Brennan will drop the cover-up and she'll be on the hook for killing Cyrus. He swears that she's wrong and tells her all the great stuff about being a spy, making it sound like the best job ever. Though Josslyn spends the whole episode seeming like she doesn't want it, ultimately she agrees to the recruitment, hoping to help people the way Dex always wanted to. Drew lies that Jason wasn't with him the night before, which is all Turner needs to believe she can build a case against him. Carly publicly accuses Drew of lying and tells Willow there's something wrong with her if she believes him over Jason. After Carly learns that Cyrus tried to kill Michael, she urges Anna not to investigate, since it's not like anyone will want to prosecute the real killer. Anna's off the case anyway, but she wants to get out ahead of Turner because if Turner finds Cyrus' body, she'll have a stronger case against Jason. Jason's unbothered by his arrest but interested in who really killed Cyrus and framed him, because it had to have been a professional. Drew pretty much invites Willow to ask him if he lied to throw Jason under the bus. She declines, and also, for some reason, she's suddenly ready to move in with him. Kai and Trina talk more about art and how he doesn't hold her responsible for what happened to him and some other stuff, and then they kiss, yay! Chase wants to ask Finn to be a sperm donor so he and Brook can have a baby he's biologically related to. Brook learned from the Molly/Kristina mess how badly that can go, and she's hesitant to agree. She's also uneasy about Chase's plan to never tell their child who their biological father is. Tracy has a cease-and-desist in the works to force Drew to give up the Quartermaine name and go back to Cain. Gio argues on his behalf, mostly because he doesn't want Scout to have a different last name from her father. Lois, Ned, and Olivia agree, but Tracy's too excited about sticking it to Drew to think about Scout. Stella helps Curtis prepare to meet with Henderson, her congressman friend, so he can try to get Drew barred from an appropriations committee. Stella's uncharacteristically eager to take Drew down, but she worries that he'll retaliate.
This Josslyn stuff is dumb. If I wanted to rewatch Alias, I would rewatch Alias. Actually, I do want to rewatch Alias.
If Drew makes a false statement about Jason's alibi on the record and someone can prove it, that should get him kicked out of office.
I assume that someone formally arrested Jason and read him his rights off-screen, because if not, Diane would have already gotten all this wrapped up.
What changed between last night and today to make Willow decide she wants to move in with Drew after all? I feel like she's getting dumber.
I don't think you can force someone to change their name, but okay, Tracy.
February 27th, 2025
Lucky wakes up and is totally fine, to his loved ones' relief. He tells Sonny that he had a near-death experience where Luke told him it wasn't his time to die. Sonny figures that was real because Luke always had good timing. Elizabeth talks to Felicia about her love life (because...??), then greets Lucky with a kiss, so I guess that's happening. She's much more optimistic now that Lucky will stay in town. Carly and Brennan meet up again and he tells her he's willing to wait until she's ready for the next step in their...whatever this is. She's distracted because Sidwell and Lucy are there, and she makes a comment to Sidwell letting him know that she hasn't forgotten about everything he's done. He basically threatens her to keep quiet about witnessing him kidnapping Sasha. Brennan doesn't appreciate Sidwell talking to Carly, and he warns that if Sidwell oversteps, Brennan will drop a(nother) bomb on him, this one more effective than the one in Africa. Lois helps Brook work out that the drawbacks to using Finn as a sperm donor outweigh the good parts. At the same time, Dante gets Chase to see things from Brook's perspective and realize that it's not the right choice for them. Martin tries to counter Tracy's cease-and-desist with news that the Quartermaines' property line is in the wrong place, and 20 feet or so of the crypt aren't theirs. Tracy calls his bluff and refuses to drop the cease-and-desist. Laura, Curtis, and Jordan warn Sonny that Drew and Sidwell are teaming up to take his waterfront property. They're going to do all they can to keep that from happening, and they really hope Sonny doesn't do anything he shouldn't to Sidwell. After observing how Martin acts around Lulu, Tracy thinks that he's keeping a secret about Valentin and Charlotte. So now Lulu thinks that Martin is how she can find out where Charlotte is. Stella's as happy for Trina as the audience is about how things are progressing with Kai. Sidwell asks Lucy to help him present a deal to Sonny to buy his waterfront property. Lucy may not be smart about everything, but she's smart enough about this to know better than to get involved.
A plot about eminent domain and a plot about property theft? How did we get so lucky?
Brook and Chase are so good at communicating now. Look how far they've come!
Funny that Tracy thinks Martin's demeanor changed when Lulu came in because he's hiding something from her, not because he likes Lulu.
First social media was the key to finding Charlotte. Now it's Martin. How many keys are there, Lulu?
Josslyn's cover story about taking a grad student's spot on a school trip was actually pretty good. I'm interested to see what she comes up with in the future.
February 28th, 2025
Sonny, Kristina, Ava, Ric, Alexis, and Molly all end up at Bobbie's for breakfast, and instead of just keeping her head down, Ava tries to prove to Ric that things between her and Sonny are okay by approaching him. Kristina picks a fight with her, Ric jumps in to defend her, and Alexis steps in to break things up. After Sonny, who looks like he's two seconds from having a heart attack, yells at Ric to shut up, Molly takes off. Ric blames Alexis for the disaster, telling Ava that she once again chose Molly over Kristina. Sasha complains to Jason that the Quartermaines are suffocating her and she's worried she'll eventually end up in Willow's position. Jason offers her money, which just gets him an I-can-do-this-by-myself lecture. Fortunately, Olivia and Carly want to offer Sasha a job at the Metro Court, so hopefully we won't have to hear her whine again. Molly vents to Cody about her parents' inability to get along and how she feels like each resents her for loving the other. Cody encourages her to tell them how she feels, since he's learned from his relationship with Mac how that can help. Lucy still wants to bring Sidwell in to provide zinc for Deception, and Maxie's still very hesitant, while Natalia wants nothing more than to stay as far away from him as possible. Sasha and Carly see them all meeting and tell the group about how Sidwell kidnapped Sasha at gunpoint and almost blew her up. Lucy still thinks the zinc is worth teaming up with a Bond villain, while Maxie strongly objects. Natalia reluctantly sides with Lucy, so I guess Sidwell has something really bad on her. Kristina and Lucky discuss Cyrus, who she thinks Jason killed. She's all for it, assuming he gets away with it and nothing comes back on his kids. Lucky gets that she doesn't trust the justice system anymore, but he still thinks like a cop, in that he knows that taking the law into your own hands can end poorly. Isaiah objects again to Jordan's plans for Sidwell, suspecting that she doesn't get how much work she's going to have to put in. Jordan's like, "I appreciate the concern, but I'm the last person you need to worry about." Kristina urges Sonny to find a new place to live so Avery and Donna can have some stability. Jason wants the same for Sonny, but that's more because of security measures. Speaking of Sonny's living arrangements, Jason is no longer sure that Sidwell was behind the bombing, as suspicious as the timing was. Lucky's definitely leaning toward staying in town, as he tells Isaiah that there are a lot of people there he doesn't want to say goodbye to (including Elizabeth).
Kristina: "Go to Hell, Ric." Ric: "Oh, not today." Good one?
We get it. Sasha wants to do this on her own. But she doesn't have to be a jerk about it. And accepting money from Jason isn't charity – it's called being able to afford the things your child needs.
Also, just to clarify, her main complaint today was that Monica gave her a baby sweater?
Thank you, Maxie, for having the only reasonable response to Lucy still wanting to work with Sidwell – namely, "Are you freaking kidding me?"
