Willow Wobbles While Drew Plots
Let’s be real—Willow cannot catch a break. Over at the Nurses Ball rehearsal space (because drama needs a backdrop), she finds Isaiah practicing his dance moves. They chat, and surprise, surprise—Willow’s marriage is about as steady as a soap opera relationship usually is. She drops the bomb that her court date is looming, and she may not be “Nurse Corinthos” much longer. She’s hoping Drew will pull off some courtroom magic to protect her and the kids, but when she says she’s gunning for sole custody? Isaiah’s face says what we’re all thinking: It’s that serious now?
But bless his heart, Isaiah tries to be uplifting and tells her to trust that giant, bleeding heart of hers. Then he exits like a Hallmark card with legs, completely unaware he’s about to stumble onto the juiciest secret in town.
Curtis Comes for Drew
Meanwhile, Curtis is not playing games. He’s got Drew’s number, and he’s calling it—collect. First, he vents to Nina about the hot mess with Portia and this whole Drew-situation-ship. According to Curtis, Drew has been twisting Portia’s arm harder than a yoga instructor. Sports initiative blackmail? Check. Pressuring her to push Curtis into good PR for Drew? Double check. Finding her at Drew’s house “talking him out of a surgery”? Yeah, Curtis isn’t buying it.
Nina’s jaw practically hits the floor. But Curtis? He’s out here yelling, “My wife is being blackmailed!” like he’s hosting a true crime podcast. And guess who’s about to hear the truth through the walls? That’s right—Isaiah, our accidental eavesdropper.
Ava to Portia: Quit the Lies, Girl
Ava stops by to give Portia the wake-up call she desperately needs. She suspects Portia’s been dragged into Drew’s mess, and honey, she’s right. Portia spills that Drew’s been pushing her to keep Curtis quiet, throw support behind some sketchy political agenda, and back his PR dream team.
Ava’s like, girl, he’s even coming for Trina now. Apparently, Drew’s got Trina being tailed by a cameraman like she’s the star of a documentary no one asked for. Portia is over it, in tears, and confesses she’s reached her limit. But telling Curtis the truth? She swears that’ll blow up her marriage. And with Isaiah eavesdropping like it’s his job, that truth might come out whether she’s ready or not.
Tracy Claps Back and Drew Dials Up the Sleaze
By the Quartermaine boathouse, Drew is out here trying to renegotiate with Tracy like he’s the CEO of Sleazeball Inc. He wants to dump Laura as mayor, kick Sonny to the curb, and in return? He’s demanding the Quartermaine name back along with full estate access. Tracy’s had enough and reads him for filth. “Alan gave it to her!” she screeches, slamming the metaphorical door in his face.
And yet, Drew walks away smug, like a man who just played everyone. Too bad Curtis is ready to call him out publicly—and soon.
Carly vs. Sonny
At Carly’s place, Sonny drops off Donna and gets ambushed with some legal tea. Carly tells him the court date is set and that she’s fully ready to steamroll Drew in court by showing off his greatest hits: sleeping with his nephew’s wife and doing body shots off a prostitute. Classy.
Sonny, surprisingly, wants peace. He doesn’t want Drew and Willow dragging Michael into a custody battle. Carly’s not budging though. If it means keeping the kids safe? She’ll go full courtroom warrior. But Sonny warns her: if Michael loses his kids, she might lose him too.
Lulu’s Lightbulb Moment
Elsewhere, Lulu is on full investigative mode and tells Cody she’s pieced it all together—Gio is Brook Lynn’s son. Cody is skeptical, but Lulu is presenting her case like she’s got a law degree. Birth dates don’t add up, adoption arrangements are shady, and Brook Lynn? She’s been a world-class liar before.
As if on cue, Brook Lynn and Gio show up for coffee and small talk. But the tension is real. Later, Brook Lynn gets emotional because, oh right—it’s her son’s birthday. And this year, the truth is knocking on her door harder than ever. Tracy gives her a tiny win by getting Lulu to drop the adoption article, but the real secret? It’s still hanging in the air, and it’s only a matter of time.
Final Showdowns and Shaky Alliances
In the final moments, things are heating up. Drew shows up at Curtis’ office, and Curtis wastes zero time. “I know you’re blackmailing my wife,” he snaps, ready for war.
Outside Portia’s office, Isaiah hears her sobbing that if Curtis learns the truth, it’s game over for their marriage. Plot twist: he already knows, thanks to her paper-thin office walls.
And Willow? She runs into Sonny again, who suggests they leave Carly and Drew out of it and figure out custody like adults. That’s cute—but we all know peace doesn’t last long in Port Charles.
Meanwhile, Nina shows up at Carly’s door like the Ghost of Sassmas Future, warning her that if Drew stays on his messy path, their grandchildren’s lives will implode. Carly’s got no time for her—but Nina’s not leaving. Not until someone finally listens.
