Laura and Sonny ask Lucas to give them information they can use to go up against Sidwell. Lucas is happy to help, even though it means working with Sonny, and the three share all they know about Sidwell, Britt, Cullum, and Dalton. Sonny and Laura give Lucas an out after that, but he'd love to continue. His next step is telling Joe to look into Pascal in connection with Marco's murder. Nina visits Brennan, who's pretending he's fully locked in when he's actually able to speak and move a little. She again chooses not to inject him, though she's not sure how she's going to keep up appearances for Willow and Sidwell. Brennan wants to consult with Valentin and tells Nina that she can reach him through Carly. Josslyn reunites with Pascal, who accidentally lets her know that she's on Spoon Island. She cautions that he's expendable, so he'd be smart to go to the WSB and rat out Sidwell before Sidwell finds a reason to kill him. Lulu interrupts as Carly and Valentin are about to get naked (thank you, Lulu) so she can get some reassurance that she's not to blame for Rocco running away. Valentin listens in as she complains about his parenting, but he also gets to hear Carly defending him. Dante vents to Elizabeth that he feels like Lulu disrespected him by not telling him that Rocco shot Cullum. Elizabeth tries to help him feel better about Rocco's decision to leave with Britt, assuring him that she won't let anything happen to him. Lulu overhears her saying that Britt seems maternal toward Rocco. Brook and Tracy ask Ric for guidance on how they can get Sidwell out of Deception. He advises them to follow through on a threat to let the company be audited, since the hassle would be worth it. They decide to present Sidwell with the treat in person, with Lucy. Ric warns that Sidwell isn't usually kind to people who go up against him. Joe shares an inventory of the contents of Britt's room with Dante, but there's nothing that points them toward where Britt and Rocco might have gone. The only thing that even stands out is one of Britt's syringes.
There's nothing stopping Lucas from letting Sidwell kill Cullum, right? With Britt's medication no longer a factor, he might as well share his suspicions with Sidwell and let him take out Cullum.
Nina might work with Carly, Lucas is working with Sonny, Tracy might have to work with Lucy...what's next, Portia working with Jordan?
Once again, Pascal said too much. I imagine he'll come to regret giving Josslyn a clue about where she is.
Valentin, the way Lulu feels about your parenting is the least of your problems right now.

Michael and Jacinda put Operation Get Chase and Willow to Hook Up and Ruin Everyone's Lives (I may revisit that title) in motion, planning to arrange more encounters to keep them in each other's orbits. They still don't seem to have any problem with letting Brook be collateral damage. Cullum visits Brennan to let him know that he's working on learning everything Brennan has obviously been trying to keep from him. He asks for the code to Brennan's black box, which Brennan declines to share. Nina give Valentin a message from Brennan that indicates that they're in bigger trouble than they thought, and he needs Valentin's help. Apparently it's a request Valentin can't turn down, so he and Carly go to Turning Woods. Lucas has trouble convincing Joe to look into Pascal as a suspect in Marco's murder, so brings in Dante to back him up. Dante agrees with Joe that there isn't much to go on, but he sends him to Wyndemere to talk to Pascal anyway. Lucy, Tracy, and Brook tell Sidwell that if he doesn't dismiss himself from Deception, they'll allow an audit that could get him in legal trouble. Sidwell brushes them off, more concerned with the Britt situation. Cullum tells him there hasn't been any progress in finding her, and he thinks it's time to bring in someone else to work on the prototype. Lulu isn't thrilled to learn that Dante kept Elizabeth's knowledge of what Rocco did from her, but she moves past it pretty quickly.
Michael's basically using the same tactics on Chase and Willow as he and Morgan used on Sonny and Carly when they were kids.
I think (and hope) it'll be harder than Michael thinks to get Chase to stray.
Nina's pretty judgy to criticize Carly's taste in men, considering they have, like, four shared exes.
"He summoned me by invoking ex machina." That's so dumb. That sounds so dumb!
June 3rd, 2026
Lucas thinks he screwed up his, Sonny, and Laura's plan, since the police didn't seem enthusiastic about Pascal as a suspect. That means Sidwell might not fall for the ploy, and Pascal might not feel desperate enough to turn on Sidwell. But when Joe tells Pascal that he's a person of interest, Sidwell becomes suspicious, making Pascal realize that his life could be at risk. Josslyn knocks out the power in the house during an escape attempt, and Pascal takes advantage of the darkness to flee, which just makes him look guiltier in Sidwell's eyes. Josslyn gets caught by Sidwell, unfortunately, but Pascal gets away. Too bad for him that Sonny's a step ahead of him and has disabled his car. Willow wants to bring Chase on as her chief of staff, thinking it would benefit both of them. Tracy catches them being a little too intimate while discussing it and accuses Chase of cheating on Brook. Carly believes Brennan when he tells her and Valentin that he doesn't know where Josslyn is. He advises Valentin to go to an old contact named Z for help bringing down Sidwell and Cullum. That would mean turning himself in, so Valentin isn't on board. Lucas worries that he made himself look like a suspect by putting Pascal on the police's radar, since he could have the same motive as Pascal for killing Marco. Laura reminds him that there's no evidence against him, so there's nothing to investigate. Lucy tells Brook that, despite not being Phoebe's legal parent, she acts like a mom already. She's pleased that Brook was able to forgive Chase for trying to help Willow, especially since that involved him trying to get Michael investigated. Brook insists that the family has put all that behind them, but she can't help thinking about the threat Willow might pose to her family. Kristina shares her plans with Michael, still worried that she won't follow through with medical school. Like Molly, he gives her a pep talk.
A round of applause for Josslyn, because that was impressive.
How hilarious that Josslyn inadvertently helped Sonny.
Since Sidwell was okay with Joe searching the house, does that mean he didn't know Josslyn was there? I know Cassius told her he didn't, but if Pascal does, it's not a stretch to think he might have said something to Sidwell.
Willow doesn't already have a chief of staff? That seems odd.
Just leave already, Kristina. I don't want to have to listen to her second-guess herself over and over for the next however many weeks.
June 4th, 2026
When confronted about his connection to Delilah, Ethan admits to Alexis that he's Phoebe's father. He says he kept quiet so he can keep going to the Quartermaines' without anyone suspecting that he's checking up on his daughter. Alexis doesn't like the idea of keeping this information from Brook and Chase, but Ethan talks her into letting him sign away his parental rights and allowing a private adoption without anyone learning about his involvement. Tracy refuses to believe Chase's claims that he and Willow didn't do anything, and she tries to throw him off the property. He wisely brings in Brook and makes Tracy tell her that she thinks Chase is cheating on her with Willow. Equally wisely, Brook insists on talking to Chase privately, and he convinces her that nothing happened. She doesn't like the thought of him working for Willow, but she also doesn't order him not to take the job. Sonny offers Pascal a flight out of the country and money to start a new life if he'll give them the photos connecting Laura to Dalton's body. Pascal says no, since they're in a safe at Wyndemere and he knows Sidwell would kill him if he went back. He does agree to give the combination to Lucas, who's fine with taking the risk since he feels partly responsible for Marco's death. Cassius stops Sidwell from killing Josslyn, going so far as to threaten to quit working with him if he hurts her. Josslyn drops a ring in the living room to indicate that she was there, then continues bugging Cassius to go to the WSB and turn on Sidwell. Michael's pleased that his plan seems to be working (or at least that Tracy's snowed) and suggests that Tracy sit back and let Brook and Chase's marriage fall apart. Nina thinks Willow would be crazy to hire Chase as her chief of staff, both because it's not the right role for him and because people might find it fishy. Sidwell seems to completely believe that Pascal killed Marco, and to have no suspicions about Lucas.
I'm not sure I believe Ethan. This seems too simple, and his reasons for keeping quiet are odd.
Nicely done, Chase. And this could screw up Michael's plans. Ha ha, suck it, Michael.
Josslyn continues to impress – not just with leaving the ring in the living room but with pretending that she thinks Cassius is Nathan.
That said, I don't know why she thinks she can get Cassius to flip on Sidwell. He obviously doesn't want to give up living Nathan's life.
June 5th, 2026
Lucas gets the photos from the safe at Wyndemere, but he warns Sonny and Laura that this doesn't protect them completely – Sidwell could still go after their loved ones. Laura decides it's time to send the police after Sidwell him, but Sonny would rather kill him. Lucas suggests that they ensure that Sidwell is caught red-handed, so he goes back to the safe to look for evidence that can be used against him. Sidwell considers getting rid of Cullum, since he obviously doesn't care about bringing Marco's killer to justice. Cullum convinces him that Faison's project is a higher priority. He keeps mum on the doctor he has in mind to take over for Britt, then kidnaps Obrecht. Brook and Chase are thrilled to learn that Phoebe's father wants to let them adopt her. They're uneasy about the adoption being private, since they want to be able to tell Phoebe about her birth father one day, but they're very willing to accept the condition. This development means a clearer path to adoption, and Willow's help with Social Services moves things along even faster. Alexis tries hard not to roll her eyes while Chase showers Willow with praise for her assistance. Meanwhile, Brook shares her Willow problems with Lucy, who's more than happy to help her "outmaneuver" the threat to her marriage. Ethan tries to smooth things over with Ava, who guesses right away that he really wants her to keep quiet about Phoebe's paternity. She also thinks that he's going to halt the adoption at the last minute for money. Ethan swears that he wants Phoebe to have a good life with loving parents, unlike him, and he has no ulterior motives. Ava agrees to keep his secret – though, of course, she'll need a monetary incentive. An S.O.S. message from Drew helps Obrecht put together that Nina and Willow did something to him. She doesn't really care; she's much more interested in Willow's desire to hire Chase, which Obrecht knows would be a disaster.
"And if we trust Pascal..." Okay, well, why are you doing that?
Ooh, I didn't think about the possibility of Dante and Lulu looking suspicious for not calling the FBI.
I also didn't think of Obrecht as a replacement for Britt, but that makes perfect sense.
I enjoyed Obrecht telling Nina and Willow, "I don't care what your scheme is – just know that you're bad at it."
June 8th, 2026
Cullum is upset that Sidwell and Cassius didn't tell him anything about Josslyn. Cassius is equally upset that Cullum kidnapped Obrecht. He again stops Cullum from going after Josslyn, insisting that she's a good bargaining chip. Josslyn gets a roommate and tells her all she knows about Anna, Faison's project, and Britt. She clarifies that Britt was forced working for Sidwell and Cullum, which makes Obrecht wonder why she didn't go to her brother. Just as Josslyn is about to tell her that "Nathan" isn't Nathan, Cassius comes in. Laura shuts down Sidwell's flight plan, and when he confronts her, she invites him to come after her. As Sidwell discovers that the photos are missing from the safe – and easily guesses that Lucas took them – Laura and Sonny wonder who he'll lash out at. Curtis asks Alexis to represent him, but she says there's a conflict of interest. He figures that means Isaiah is suing him, but she just doesn't want to do anything further to hurt Portia. Curtis wants to argue that Isaiah was the driver who caused the crash, which I guess justifies Curtis hitting him. Alexis warns that that could backfire, but it's not like Curtis has been thinking rationally lately. Isaiah reveals to Portia that he does plan to sue Curtis for assault. Portia's fine with that, but she'd like him to hold off until after the baby is born, for Trina's sake.- Trina's too busy planning Portia's baby shower to give any thought to her showcase. Kai urges her to stop trying to solve her parents' problems and do something for herself. Kristina tells Lucas that she's going to med school across the country and asks him to keep an eye on the progress of the tennis courts going up in Marco's name.
"Cesar would be so disappointed." Cassius should take that as a compliment.
Laura really shouldn't be so cocky with a known murderer.
Curtis' planned defense for hitting Isaiah is that Isaiah might have been the mystery driver? So it was okay to hit him? Shhh, Curtis.
Brook arranged the showcase for Trina – she should be working with her to pick out songs and help with anything else she needs.
Sigh. The Kristina Corinthos Davis departure tour continues.
June 9th, 2026
Sidwell accuses Lucas of stealing from his safe, and Lucas decides to admit it. Sidwell asks if he framed Pascal for killing Marco or if Lucas was behind his death instead. Lucas puts everything on Sidwell for dragging Marco into a life of crime. In response, Sidwell shoots him. Cassius reveals his real identity to Obrecht, and we get clarification that she believed he was stillborn. While she was unconscious after an emergency C-section, Madeline gave Cassius to Faison in exchange for the promise that he would leave Obrecht alone. Obrecht is furious that her long-lost son has been lying to her for months, and that Britt was in on everything, but Josslyn helps her understand that Cassius has been protecting her and Britt, so he's not a total bad guy. Cassius warns that Sidwell and Cullum will kill him if Obrecht doesn't finish Faison's project, so Obrecht resigns herself to cooperating. Portia's baby shower is chilly but civil, until Isaiah starts bugging Jordan about whether or not she believes that he caused the crash. Then things get even more tense when Isaiah hints that he's going to be the only stable paternal figure in the baby's life. Eventually, Portia blurts out that she may have been right to keep Curtis out of Trina's life for so long. Brook makes peace with Willow by apologizing for overreacting to her encounters with Chase. Then she tells Lucy that she was faking to make Willow think everything's okay. They plot to pin something on Willow to ruin her reputation, eventually settling on framing her for Jordan's crash. Since Carly and Valentin won't do as he asked, Brennan urges Nina to go to the authorities. She'd rather not, since Willow might get dragged into things, and she convinces Brennan to be patient, as she's sure that Valentin will wind up doing the right thing. Willow comes by later to give Brennan an injection, but he stops her physically. Gio and Emma talk about his feelings about Brook adopting another child (they're positive).
I think Lucas set Sidwell up. He told Laura and Sonny that they should try to get him caught committing a crime – I wouldn't be surprised if he offered himself up as bait of a kind. I also think he wore a jacket for the whole episode because it's covering up a bulletproof vest.
The second Obrecht said that Madeline was there when she gave birth, everything made sense. Of course she's the reason Obrecht spent Cassius' whole life thinking he was dead! Of course she gave her nephew to his evil father! That woman was capable of anything!
Isaiah. My man. It's a baby shower. Leave Jordan alone.
We all know how I feel about Ava, but it's adorable that she wants the baby's first words to be their sister's name.
Excellent acting, Brook.
June 10th, 2026
Not only was Lucas setting Sidwell up, the police were in on it, and Sidwell is immediately arrested. He tries to argue that he's a victim of entrapment, then announces that Laura and Sonny had something to do with Dalton's murder, but multiple eyewitnesses saw him shoot Lucas (who's fine, thanks to a bulletproof vest), so it'll be really hard for him to get out of this. ...Except it won't, because Cassius is tasked with taking him to the PCPD. He warns that he can't protect Sidwell anymore, so Sidwell should go into hiding. Sidwell says that he never needed Cassius' protection, as he has multiple contingency plans. He thinks Cassius is the one who should worry, since he still has obligations to Cullum. Trina leaves the shower, declaring to Kai, Gio, and Emma that she's done trying to solve her parents' problems and is going to change her priorities. Stella tells everyone else how they've screwed up and how their actions are going to negatively affect Trina and the baby. They basically ignore her and fight some more, until Portia tells Curtis she's done with him. Stella then yells at Curtis some more, letting him know how disappointed she is that he hasn't been able to leave the past in the past. Willow rushes to inject Brennan in order to shut him up, but Nina comes back and helps Brennan convince her to hold off. Brennan announces that he has evidence that Drew misappropriated funds, but Willow and Nina will have to let him recover before he retrieves it. Satisfied that that will be enough to control Drew, and convinced that she'll only have to give him one or two more injections, Willow agrees. Carly and Valentin guess that Josslyn got caught snooping around Wyndemere and is being kept prisoner there. Carly, of course, wants to barge in and find her; Valentin, also of course, talks her out of it. Dante asks Laura and Sonny about Sidwell's reference to Dalton, and he buys it when they dismissively say that he was just grasping for something to pin on them. Tracy offers to hire someone to find Rocco, but Lulu worries that she'll lead Cullum and Sidwell to him.
They really should have had EMTs standing by in case Sidwell shot Lucas somewhere the vest didn't cover.
"Turns out it wasn't a shower – it was a bloodbath." I know you're hurting, Trina, but that was excellent.
God bless Stella Henry.
Not that I want to help Willow or anything, but she would be smart to pin Drew's drugging on Sidwell.
June 11th, 2026
Ava is at Wyndemere when Carly goes to see Cullum, and she tells Carly that Sidwell tried to kill Lucas, then fled. Cullum asks some questions that the women can't answer, then dismisses them. While Carly's still there, a housekeeper tells Cullum that she found a ring that Carly recognizes as Josslyn's. She comes close to stabbing Cullum but instead goes home to tell Valentin that Josslyn is definitely at Wyndemere. She wants to move fast to save her daughter, but Valentin thinks they have time as long as Cullum doesn't have a scientist to take over for Britt. Josslyn urges Obrecht to stall completion of the prototype, but Obrecht is concerned that that will get Cassius killed. Josslyn advises her to make sure the prototype doesn't work, then. Cullum decides that it's time to get rid of Josslyn, but Cassius saves her yet again. He tells Obrecht to finish the project, since they don't seem to have any other options. Nina's concern over Cassius after his alleged attack by Sidwell's goons touches him, and I'm sure makes him want to stay in Nathan's life even more. Valentin asks Charlotte to stay away from Danny, thinking that he's reckless and will get her into trouble. She promises to be careful but won't commit to avoiding someone she's become close to, as she sees herself as Danny's protector. She quickly proves that by talking him out of sneaking into Wyndemere again, at least for a few days. Kristina tells her parents her plans, and they say a proud but tearful goodbye to her. Cody breaks it to James that he'll miss his first Little League games because he'll be on tour with Molly. Apparently James doesn't understand the concept of being happy when someone else is happy, so Cody has to explain that to him. In the process, he uses the L word, and Molly hears and is very pleased. Nina's worried that Sidwell will go after Ava to make up for not being able to kill Lucas.
With Sidwell and Pascal gone, Cullum is the only bad guy left, so can't Cassius, Josslyn, and Obrecht just kill him? They can at least overpower him.
Shouldn't the news about Sidwell have spread a lot more by now? How did Danny hear about it before Carly?
If my kid made huge, life-changing decisions, sprung them all on me at once, and then announced that she was moving across the country the next day, I would be furious.
Yeah, I really don't care how James feels about Cody going away with Molly.
June 12th, 2026
Tracy tricks Willow into meeting her at the boathouse and confronts her for trying to steal Chase from Brook. Willow slams her for ruining her relationships with her sons and having a family who can't trust her. As things are getting physical, Chase shows up, and suddenly, Willow's in the lake. She claims that Tracy pushed her, while Tracy insists that Willow saw Chase coming and is lying. Unsurprisingly, Chase believes Willow, and he arrests Tracy. Justine questions Lucas and Sonny about how the Sidwell setup came together, suspecting that they're not telling her everything (which is true). She also suspects that Sonny had something to do with Sidwell's escape, so he can take Sidwell out on his own, claiming self-defense. Sonny's like, "Hmm, thanks for the suggestion." Brook asks Sonny to put her in touch with Brick so she can get his help with her Willow plan. He comes through, and she tells Lucy that a) Willow has no alibi for the time of the crash and b) Brick can alter her GPS to make it look like she was in the area at the time. Alexis bugs Ethan to allow Phoebe's adoption file to be unsealed when she's older, so she doesn't have to spend her whole life wondering about him. Ethan refuses, though he acknowledges that he wants her to know about Delilah. Later, he poses as a cop and steals evidence from a cold-case file at the police station. Kristina's final act in town is to make Molly and Michael become friends, I guess because she thinks they won't have anyone to hang out with after she leaves. Justine realllllly doesn't like Chase, to a ridiculous degree.
I kind of like that they didn't show us what happened with Willow and Tracy, so we don't know which of them is telling the truth.
Seriously, does Willow ever work? Do her constituents know how much time she spends just hanging ou?
I'm sorry, was Willow implying that Dillon hates Tracy? Last we knew, everything was fine between them. It's not like he left town to get away from her – it was for work.
Can we be done with Justine now? She adds nothing to the show. Why is she so annoyed that Sonny, Lucas, and Laura did what she never could?
Freaking A, Alexis, drop it. It's not your decision to make.
June 15th, 2026
Dante clearly has more important things to do than deal with a fight between his ex-sister-in-law and ex-stepmother-in-law, but he patiently considers the situation. Michael pretends to be sympathetic toward Willow, then urges her not to press charges against Tracy (somehow relating it to the kids). Brook also pretends to be sympathetic toward Willow before telling Tracy that she knows exactly what Willow's up to and is handling it. She makes Tracy apologize, and fortunately for Tracy, Michael got through to Willow, who won't press charges. Nina has noticed Obrecht's absence and done some digging that makes her think something happened to her. Cassius tries to convince her that Obrecht slipped out of town to look for Britt, but Nina doesn't buy it. The heavy WSB presence at Wyndemere makes Valentin veto Carly's plan to sneak in and look for Josslyn. Carly suggests enlisting Sonny to create a distraction, but Valentin offers up himself – he'll turn himself in to Cullum. He's even more ready for that when Nina comes by asking for permission to access security footage at the hotel to see if Obrecht shows up on it. Now he and Carly know that Cullum has his next scientist. Lulu tells Laura her regrets about her decisions for Rocco, and how eager she is to get a lead that she and Dante can follow. She and Cassius smooth things over, so...there's that. Alexis and Ric tell Molly that they're throwing her a book-launch party, though pretty much the only thing they can agree on is that the party is happening. Their bickering over the details makes Cody wonder if they have something clandestine going on. Judging by how Emma acts around Phoebe, she and Gio won't be having babies anytime soon. Justine criticizes Chase for arresting Tracy, even though, as far as he knows, it was a reasonable decision that Dante supports.
Willow, who has a nursing degree, needed Yuri to bandage her scraped knee?
Cassius, now is the time to pretend you heard from Obrecht.
No, Alexis, tell Ric that everyone is going to wear a costume! That way, he'll be the only one who wears one.
This is the most we've ever heard about Noah.
Ugh. Go away, Justine.
June 16th, 2026
Willow and Nina meet with Brennan to get the ball rolling on silencing Drew, as with Sidwell gone, they might not have access to his drug anymore. After a conversation about the Tracy/Chase stuff (in which Willow admits to jumping in the lake), Brennan says he won't release his dirt to the women until they get him better. Cullum practically monologues to a day player about how he thinks Valentin might be working with Sidwell, and his consideration of getting the FBI involved in Rocco's disappearance so they can lead him to Rocco and Britt. He finally has Valentin's call to Anna's clinic traced and guesses that he's been working with Carly. Brook lets Chase think that she believes Willow and supports his decision to arrest Tracy. Michael boasts to Jacinda that Willow played right into his hands, making herself look good to Chase. He reminds Tracy that they need to let Brook learn for herself that Chase isn't right for her. Justine isn't happy that Cassius lost Sidwell, and that on top of her issues with Chase mean she has a problem with the PCPD in general. Dante tries to get her to back off, but I'm guessing that if there's another misstep, he'll be in a lot of trouble. Cassius gets that he's on thin ice with both of them, and he worries that the Rocco stuff puts him in an even worse light with Dante. Dante, however, appreciates his efforts and can separate the professional from the personal. Carly can't talk Valentin out of his plan to turn himself in, so she agrees to bring Charlotte to see him before he heads to Switzerland. Then they have sex.
Funny how Willow raced to see Brennan, then spent ten minutes talking about Chase and Tracy.
Why is Cullum just now trying to find out where Valentin made his phone call?
If Michael were willing to give up the Chase part of his plan, he and Brook could accomplish a lot together.
If I were Dante, I would want to know why Justine has a problem with Cassius having ties to Faison, but not with Dante having ties to Sonny.
June 17th, 2026
Carly brings Charlotte to see Valentin, who thinks they might be saying goodbye for good. Charlotte is upset that he's willing to risk going back to prison, but she acknowledges that he's doing something noble. Valentin leaves town just before Cullum comes by with a search warrant, and Cullum finds nothing in Carly's house proving that he was ever there. Tracy chastises Brook for diminishing herself in order to hold on to Chase. Brook is offended, and when Tracy asks if whether she believes her or Willow, Brook says she believes in herself. Tracy really hopes that's true, and that whatever she's up to, it works out best for her. Cullum asks Lulu to come to Wyndemere for a conversation, and she wisely brings Ethan along. All Cullum wants is to ask about Rocco, who Lulu and Ethan pretend is out of town visiting family. Lulu immediately goes to Dante to let him know that they're probably running out of time for Brick to find their son. Scout gets hurt while under Danny's care, and Molly blasts him for modeling bad behavior for her. They both worry that Willow will use this as a reason to enforce the restraining order again, but it doesn't look like she wants that. Dante thinks that Chase went overboard by arresting Tracy simply because it's what Willow wanted. He advises Chase to put Brook first, which Chase insists he always does. Ethan has Elizabeth do a cheek swab for him, then replaces it with whatever he stole from the PCPD. Felicia repays Willow for her help with Anna by arranging for Drew to get communication technology.
"If you loved me..." Charlotte, you are 16. Act like it.
I wish Lulu or Ethan had asked Cullum why he wanted Lulu to come all the way out to Wyndemere to answer, like, two questions about Rocco.
If Brook thinks that Tracy luring Willow to the lake is "indefensible," what does she think of her own plan to frame Willow for something she had nothing to do with?
Also, why doesn't Brook just tell Tracy what she's up to?
The cheek swab has to have something to do with Phoebe, and with my theory that Ethan is lying about being her father.
June 18th, 2026
In Tortola, Rocco and Britt learn of Lucas' near-shooting, and Britt starts experiencing symptoms. She passes out, and though she insists that she's okay, Rocco calls Charlotte for help. Joe asks Lucas about saline, explaining that a syringe found in a search contained some. Lucas tells him that it wouldn't have any effect on anyone. Sidwell uses a fake message from Jacinda to trick Ezra into meeting with him. Ezra casually tries to talk him into leaving the country, but Sidwell would rather use what he has over Ezra to get his help bringing down all his enemies. Cassius laments to Nina that he screwed things up with Lulu and Britt, and he's worried that he'll do more harm to James than good. She, of course, doesn't get that he's actually worried that the truth about his identity will ruin everything, and that he can't be as good a person as Nathan was. Charlotte vents to Danny about Valentin's choice to turn himself in and how he's thinking more about other people than her (I may be editorializing). Danny's optimistic that he'll be rewarded, and that he and Jason will both end up free. Laura and Jordan talk Sidwell, his blackmail, and how much Jordan gave up to work for him. She feels like she actually benefited from the experience, and she's excited to figure out what she wants to do next. Ric huffs about being left out of the Sidwell sting, but Sonny throws him a bone by sharing a bit of his plans. He's going to use the news that Cullum killed Marco to lure Sidwell out of hiding, then kill him. Dante worries a little that by talking with Elizabeth so much, he's doing the same thing he accused Lulu of doing with Cassius. Elizabeth thinks that he should wait to be concerned about that until after Rocco's back. Joe tried to question one of Sidwell's guys, who took off running and wound up getting injured. Joe's eager to talk to him about the alleged assistance Sidwell had in escaping police custody. Since everyone at the scene of the sting was a good guy, Joe shares with Dante that he thinks Sidwell might have an inside man in the PCPD.
What kind of help does Rocco think Charlotte can give him??
I doubt that a lot of people are surprised that Britt apparently doesn't have Huntington's after all.
Sidwell is pretty arrogant to come back to town. He could have easily met Ezra somewhere else.
Ric isn't seriously upset that Sonny excluded him from something, is he?
June 19th, 2026
Dante tells Lulu that Brick narrowed down Britt and Rocco's location to the Virgin Islands, so it's only a matter of time before he locates them. Lulu wants to jump on a plane and go searching, but Dante convinces her to hold off, not least because they could lead Cullum right to Rocco. They agree that once they reunite with their son, the three of them will go into hiding (and also make sure Britt is punished). Britt's sick enough that she doesn't notice Rocco secretly giving Danny and Charlotte their location so they can share it with Cassius in hopes that he can bring Britt her medication. The teens think they can handle everything without Rocco's parents finding out his location, but the first thing Cassius does is tell them he knows where Rocco is. While Trina tells Ava that she's going to take a huge step away from her parents' drama, Curtis and Portia meet up to discuss how to fix the things they've screwed up. They agree to a ceasefire while they're around their kids and to keep their significant others out of things as much as possible. Brennan warns Carly that Z might not meet with Valentin, so their plan might all be for nothing. Also, he doubts that Valentin will ever give up his obsession with Anna, and he thinks Carly might be in Cullum's crosshairs. Cassius continues worrying that he's going to hurt James, adding now that he doesn't want to take James away from the rest of his family by...spending time with him? What? Felicia's like, "You're freaking out too much. Chill."
Dante, man, if Lulu hadn't gotten fake passports from Ethan, she would have gotten them from someone else. Probably Sonny. Leave Ethan alone.
I don't know what's wrong with Britt, but I'm pretty confident that she's not pregnant, which is a relief.
Portia and Curtis are (finally) being surprisingly mature. Trina will be pleased.
Chris McKenna's acting choices are driving me crazy.
Carly possibly being in danger from Cullum is too much. There's already enough going on with this plotline.

Cassius tells Dante and Lulu where Britt and Rocco are, but he won't reveal his source. Dante questions whether they can trust him, since he could be sending them in the wrong direction so he can help Britt. In fact, Dante suspects that Cassius helped her and Rocco leave town. Cassius points out how much he's done to help Rocco, including at Britt's expense, and demands a promise that they won't seek punishment for Britt before he gives them Rocco's location. Sidwell ambushes Willow at home, announcing that he'll be staying there while he works on whatever he's cooking up. In exchange, he'll provide her with as much of the drug as she'd like to keep Drew immobilized. If Willow doesn't cooperate, he'll make sure she goes down with him. Lucy puts the idea in Joe's head that Willow could have caused Jordan and Curtis' crash. Then she goes to Brook and requests a reward. Trina appreciate Portia and Curtis' proactive attitude toward making things better, but she sticks to her guns in asking them to give her space. She's spent too much time and energy on trying to fix things for them when she should be focusing on herself, and she's determined to make that stop. They reluctantly agree to keep their distance, which includes not communicating with her until the baby is born. Chase has decided to give Tracy the benefit of the doubt and let go of the whole Willow-in-the-lake thing. To Brook's even greater relief, he's not going to work for Willow. Ava and Ethan have that dynamic where all they do is bicker, but you get the idea that they might start ripping each other's clothes off at any moment. Also, she wants him to run interference for her and Sonny.
Hey, Dante and Lulu, while you're standing around fighting with Cassius, your son could be getting murdered. Get on a plane already.
Any reason Sidwell hasn't reached out to Cullum?
I loved Drew's "I can hear you, guy" face when Sidwell spoke to him louder than usual, as if the paralytic affects his hearing.
Ugh, Ava and Ethan are going to hook up, aren't they? We already know she likes younger men.
