Maxie’s Collapse Shocks Everyone
On the Home & Heart set, things went from beauty tips to full-blown medical emergency in seconds. Maxie applied the night cream and instantly collapsed. Lucy freaked out and called 911, and the paramedics soon revealed the unthinkable: Maxie was in cardiac arrest. Lucy blurted out that Maxie had a heart transplant years ago, which only made the moment scarier.
Brook Lynn immediately called Spinelli to rush to the hospital, but not before the camera lingered on that tub of cream that nobody seemed to care about. Soap logic says that forgotten detail is about to explode later.
Carly and Nina Go Full Soap Diva
Over at the Metro Court, Carly updated Lulu about Obrecht leaving the hotel for Rocco’s sake. That calm conversation ended the second Nina walked in. Carly stormed over, spat accusations, and tore into Nina for keeping secrets that wrecked Willow’s life. Nina fired back, telling Carly to get off her high horse before she fell off it.
As their voices climbed higher, Gio lingered nearby, clearly torn between grabbing popcorn or stepping in. Just when Lulu got word from Brook Lynn that Maxie was in trouble, Carly and Nina’s fight hit its climax. Nina lunged, Carly shoved, and Nina went tumbling into the pool with a scream. The only thing missing was a slow-motion replay.
Michael’s Mess Has Diane Nervous
Sonny and Diane summoned Michael to hash out the Drew problem. Michael admitted Drew provoked him into throwing a punch, but Diane was quick to point out that his threats to Tracy could make it look like premeditation. With Drew breathing down their necks, Diane suggested cutting a deal so Willow could see the kids. Michael shut that down fast, admitting Willow is spiraling and even confessing he suspects she targeted Daisy. Trouble is, he has zero proof.
Diane warned that the witnesses to Drew’s version of events were hardly reliable, which means Michael is in deep. Even Sonny could see that Drew might actually win this round.
Drew Milks His Injury
At the hospital, Drew strutted in like a wounded soldier demanding treatment for his black eye. Liz was not impressed, bluntly reminding him that a bruise was not a medical emergency. But Drew insisted he needed official documentation since Michael attacked him. Felicia, distracted and missing Brook Lynn’s call, signed off on the paperwork.
Lucas showed up just in time to chuckle over Drew’s shiner, proving that at least someone was getting entertainment out of this mess.
Maxie’s Life on the Line
The hospital turned into pure chaos when Maxie was rushed in by the paramedics. Liz and Lucas worked furiously to revive her as Lucy delivered the terrifying details to Felicia. Spinelli arrived completely frantic, and Lulu had to keep him steady while quickly arranging child care for Georgie and the others. Brook Lynn and Flora showed up too, both shaken and waiting for news.
In the ER, Maxie flatlined. Liz and Lucas fought to bring her back as her family waited helplessly outside. Finally, after agonizing moments, they managed to stabilize her. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but questions lingered. Was it the cream? Was it something else? Either way, this isn’t over.
Britt and Jason’s Showdown
Meanwhile in Croatia, Jason tracked Britt down after spotting her in Paris. He begged her to return home, warning her that she was in danger. Britt wasn’t having it. She reminded him how he broke her heart, how she stood over his grave and forgave him, and how she refuses to let Carly define her life anymore. Jason swore he could protect her, but Britt was ice cold.
She told him she doesn’t need saving, she doesn’t want saving, and if he didn’t leave she would call security. When Jason finally walked out defeated, Britt picked up the phone and made a chilling call of her own: “We have a problem and need to put a stop to it immediately.”
