Carly Throws Down, and Drew Tries to Play Hero
Ah, Carly. Just when you think she might take the high road, she swerves, skids, and launches herself headfirst into chaos. After nearly slapping Willow into next week (and being saved by Jason’s very convenient appearance), she has a full-blown breakdown in Jack’s hotel room. She’s rattled, but don’t worry—Jack’s here to strategize like it’s war time. He practically applauds her for rattling Drew and Willow’s little house of lies, claiming it was all part of the master plan. Oh yes, Jack’s convinced that if Drew tries to “play big hero,” he’ll go too far—and when he does, Carly will pounce.
Meanwhile, over at Drew’s drama-filled dwelling, Willow is fuming. What was supposed to be a beautiful day has been turned into another Carly-centered crisis, and she’s realizing that her mother-in-law from hell has never actually cared about her. Drew, of course, plays the part of wounded ex quite well—reminiscing about how Carly used him, then dropped him like a cold cup of coffee once he was out of prison.
Then there’s Nina, arriving just in time to play babysitter and therapist. She reassures the duo that the kids didn’t overhear any of their melodrama, then reminds everyone to breathe and consider compromise before the court system or Carly burns the house down. But Drew isn’t here for peace talks—especially not after Carly raised her hand to Willow. That’s when Kai shows up needing a moment with Drew, who promptly tells him, “Yeah, not now, family breakdown in progress.”
Willow then does what you do when you’ve had too many emotions and too little wine—she compares herself to Nelle. Yes, that Nelle. Cue Nina trying to talk her daughter down from the identity crisis ledge. She insists that Willow is not mentally unstable, she’s just… going through it. And hasn't she come such a long way? Let’s not forget all the trauma she’s bounced back from. But Willow's panic runs deeper: what if Carly pushes Michael to the brink? What if she loses her kids?
Enter Drew again, waving around legal documents like they’re magical solutions. He proposes a guardianship pact—if she signs, he gets her kids if she dies (yikes), and she gets his kid if he does. It’s all very Romeo and Juliet meets custody court. Willow, fragile and emotional, signs. But something tells us she’s gonna regret putting ink to paper.
Kai Wants a Fix, Portia Drops the Cold Hard Truth
Let’s talk Kai. The man is determined to go through with a risky surgery that has success odds shakier than Sonny’s moral compass. Trina is torn—she’s barely gotten to know him, but she’s already got feelings. And let’s face it, after losing Spencer, she’s not emotionally ready to roll the dice on love again, especially when the outcome could be paralysis.
Portia, playing both mom and doctor, is not here for the fantasy. She calls Kai into her office and drops some brutal facts. The surgery? Barely successful. Only two people have walked out better. Three left paralyzed. Portia’s advice? Don’t do it. But Kai, ever the optimist (or maybe just delusional), is convinced he’ll be miracle number three. Yeah, good luck with that, buddy.
Ava Bets Big, But Ric Knows the Stakes
Meanwhile, Ava is out here pulling every shady string she can. She strolls into Ric’s hospital room, smug and satisfied, thinking she’s holding all the cards. She’s told Alexis everything about Kristina’s incident and is threatening to blow it all up unless she gets paid. Classic Ava—always one step away from chaos with a designer bag full of blackmail receipts.
But Ric isn’t so sure this plan is airtight. He reminds Ava that Alexis might be smarter and more ruthless than she looks. Plus, if Kristina doesn’t face consequences now, what’s to stop her from trying to finish what she started later? Ava shrugs it off. With the kind of cash she’s expecting, she’ll have security on speed dial. And don’t worry—she’s covered the trail. The car? “Crunched.” The mechanic? Bribed. Ric just better play his part and not try to cut her out, or she’ll be the one calling the shots and cashing the checks.
Alexis Is Torn Between the Law and Love
The vibes are all warm and fuzzy. They order Noodle Buddha in Sam’s honor, laugh, reminisce, and bond like nothing ever happened. Kristina apologizes—again—and Molly, now uncharacteristically chill, says she doesn’t need to. Alexis watches her daughters reconnect and starts to crumble. She quietly pulls out the commitment papers... and then promptly crumples them. Because nothing says “I’m not ready to institutionalize my child” like trashing legal documents over pad thai and nostalgia.
Laura Gives Sonny a Political Reality Check
And just when we thought Sonny could enjoy a moment of peace, Laura comes knocking—with bad news and good intentions. The city is coming for his waterfront property again, and this time Drew and Ezra are pushing for a public vote. Sonny wants to know if this is personal, but Laura assures him she’s just trying to do right by the city... and maybe salvage their friendship from turning into a political boxing match.
Enter Rocco, who lightens the mood with a debate prep session that ends with a heartwarming "family first" moment. But once the kiddo exits, the gloves come back off. Sonny and Laura agree to let the people decide, but he promises his legal team will come out swinging. Because when Sonny Corinthos fights, he fights dirty and in designer suits.
