Marco Goes Full Action Hero, Then Gets Hit With a Gut Punch

Kristina waltzed into Charlie’s like it was any normal day, only to be greeted by a Molotov cocktail and a puddle of gasoline. Real cozy. While she was screaming for help, who showed up like a one-man fire department? That’s right — Marco, busting in like he was auditioning for a disaster movie. He wrapped Kristina up in a tarp and got her out just in time, looking like a literal smoke-show afterward.

Dante and Sonny rushed to the scene, and Kristina wasted no time dropping the bombshell: “Someone tried to kill me.” And suddenly, Sonny’s protectiveness went into overdrive. Marco tried to get to his mom at the Metro Court, but Sonny was having none of that. Poor guy didn’t even know he was about to walk into his worst nightmare. By the time he made it to GH, it was too late. Natalia was already in the morgue, and Marco came face to face with her body. Ouch.

Natalia’s Exit: Pills, Booze, and One Very Suspicious Scene

Speaking of Natalia, here's how it went down. Chase and Anna rolled into her Metro Court suite only to find her unconscious with pills and booze scattered around like the world’s worst cocktail party. CPR didn’t do the trick, and Liz had to call it: Natalia was DOA.

Lucas was floored, especially since she caused drama at the christening and was supposed to meet Marco. He assumed she was just drunk. Turns out she was dead. And while the cops initially considered suicide, Anna clocked the half-packed suitcase and the mystery man who bailed from her door. So this wasn’t just a sad ending — it’s looking like foul play. And the one person who still doesn’t know what really happened? Marco. But he’s about to.

The Davis Women Are Not Okay — And Alexis Lets Sonny Have It

Molly got the call about the fire and spiraled instantly, convinced she was about to lose Kristina the same way she lost Irene. Cody drove her like a bat out of hell to the scene, where she practically tackled Kristina with relief. Meanwhile, Alexis was busy reading Sidwell for filth at Wyndemere before she got word about the fire. She ditched the contract drama and raced to her daughter.

Once she saw Kristina alive, Alexis turned on Sonny like a tornado. According to her, it was his mobbed-up energy that invited the arsonist in the first place. She declared, loudly and in public, that she refuses to bury another daughter — and honestly, no one dared argue. Even the paramedics looked like they wanted to back away slowly.

Michael’s PTSD Is Back and So Are the Secrets

Back at the Quartermaine mansion, Michael was deep in his feelings, flashing back to the time he was caught in a fire and needed serious skin grafts. Hearing about the blaze at Charlie’s sent him into a spiral, and he reached for a drink before remembering he’d popped a pain pill earlier. Sasha gently called him out, and he confessed he’s still dealing with nerve damage. But he promised that nothing like that fire will ever touch his kids — unlike the past, where Sonny’s chaos nearly killed him.

Carly was dealing with her own PTSD from the christening disaster and her memories of Michael’s time in the ICU. Jack popped in uninvited — again — and Joss wasn’t thrilled. Carly told him about the fire, and he actually understood what she was going through. For once, Jack didn’t come off like a complete tool.

Sidwell’s Slip-Up and the Smoking Gun

And while everyone was scrambling to process the chaos, Sidwell was on the phone at Wyndemere, raging because Kristina had been in the building. His voice was crystal clear: they were supposed to make sure the place was empty. Looks like that whole fire wasn’t some freak accident. It was a hit — and someone seriously screwed up.

The fire chief confirmed the worst: accelerant was used, making Charlie’s latest blaze an official arson case. So while Kristina is safe for now, this story is far from over. And if Sidwell was behind the torching of Sonny’s daughter’s bar, he might want to start packing his bags. Soap Opera Reviews delivers daily spoilers and recaps so you never miss a thing.
