Brook Lynn Defends Gio While Dante Channels Drill Sergeant Dad
At the Quartermaine mansion, Brook Lynn decided to flex that protective cousin energy, telling the fam that Gio and Danny have been torturing themselves long enough over the whole Rocco debacle. Cue Gio dramatically entering the room like a teenager in a CW drama to declare his guilt and independence, insisting he doesn’t need babysitters anymore—especially not from people like Dante who clearly can't stand him.
Meanwhile, Dante and Sasha bond over late-night snacks and kid drama. Dante’s playing armchair psychologist, claiming Danny’s a mini Jason and in desperate need of boundaries. When Sasha gets served legal papers to testify in Willow’s custody case, she spirals faster than a soap opera spin-off. Jason plays the calm dad card, saying Ric probably just thinks she knows dirt that could make Michael look bad. Sasha’s panicked, but Jason shuts that down with his usual stone-cold logic.
Back in the living room, Dante walks into a full-on family intervention. Everyone thinks he’s being too harsh on Gio, especially Olivia, who reminds him he was no angel as a kid either. Brook Lynn lets him have it, saying Dante idolized a literal thief back in the day, while Gio’s just a confused teen who needs a break—not a boot camp commander breathing down his neck. Dante's parting shot? "You’ll understand when you have kids." Classic.
Lulu’s Got Receipts, and They’re Not From Target
Over in the stables, Lulu and Cody are deep-diving into Gio’s origin story like it’s a true crime podcast. Lulu’s absolutely convinced Brook Lynn is Gio’s real mom and cooked up the whole Camilla cover story to keep him close. Her evidence? Camilla was supposedly pregnant while in New Zealand on tour... except plot twist: she wasn’t.
After a little internet sleuthing and some well-placed voicemails, Lulu hears back from a quartet member who drops the bomb—Camilla quit mid-tour, was not pregnant, and there’s a picture to prove it. Boom. Mystery solved. Brook Lynn, you’ve got some explaining to do.
Drew Goes Full Mafia Hypothetical and Curtis Isn’t Having It
In Curtis' office, Drew delivers a masterclass in passive-aggressive blackmail by framing his threats as “hypotheticals.” If someone’s wife (just saying!) tampered with a patient’s file, it could cost her everything. And oh, what if Ric Lansing came gunning for her with a lawsuit? You know, hypothetically.
Curtis isn’t impressed. He claps back, reminding Drew that his own image is currently smeared all over the internet like jam on toast. But Drew smirks his way out of the room, leaving Curtis stewing and replaying the convo he secretly recorded. Because of course he did.
Later, Drew calls Mac with an update: he suddenly remembers who drugged him. Suspiciously convenient timing, don’t you think?
Willow Refuses to Postpone as Sonny Pleads for Sanity
At the rehearsal space, Sonny attempts to be the voice of reason—yes, really—by begging Willow to delay the custody hearing. She’s over it and ready to fight, thanks to Ric whispering sweet legal nothings in her ear. Sonny tries to vouch for Michael’s real feelings, but Willow’s not buying it. She thinks Michael ghosting her in Germany means game over. Sonny’s warning? Rushing this could wreck everything.
Nina and Carly Throw Down—Literally
Across town, Carly and Nina’s temporary “we’re co-grandmas now” alliance crashes and burns in the most spectacular way. Nina stops by to talk custody, and Carly, queen of sneak attacks, admits she orchestrated the hearing. Nina loses it, accusing Carly of using their truce to distract her while plotting this betrayal.
What starts as sniping escalates to dragging each other’s mothering skills through the mud. Carly snaps that Nina isn’t a real mom, and Nina fires back that Willow’s a better mother than Carly ever was. And then? Slaps. Not one, but two. Next thing you know, they’re rolling on the floor like it's WrestleMania: Port Charles Edition.
Joss walks in mid-brawl, pulls Nina off her mom, and demands answers. Carly confesses she scheduled a secret custody hearing without telling Michael. Joss, in full rational daughter mode, warns that no judge will side with her against Willow. But Carly’s too far gone—she’s convinced doing nothing means Michael loses his kids.
Sonny’s Had It with Nina’s Antics
Nina storms off to the rehearsal space to find Sonny and Willow. She dramatically announces that Carly assaulted her, and now she’s done playing nice. Willow, fired up, takes this as the final straw and doubles down on moving forward with the hearing. Nina thinks she’s scoring points, but Sonny isn’t having it. He tells her flat out: if Willow loses her kids, she has only herself to blame.
And with that, Sonny storms out, leaving Nina alone with her delusions of maternal grandeur.
