In a twist of fate, what begins as a day of celebration for Chase quickly spirals into a

tragedy that will

leave Port Charles reeling. Chase and Willow had been planning their wedding for weeks,

eager to finally

tie the knot and start their life together. After an intimate ceremony, they headed to their apartment for a

small gathering with friends and family, including Finn, Violet, and Liz.

Maggie, who had overseen the wedding preparations, expressed her joy at seeing Chase and Willow so happy. “It’s even better than the first time,” Chase said, reflecting on how their journey had led them back to each other. Willow echoed his sentiments, feeling blessed to have shared the special day with those she loved.

As the festivities continued, Finn noticed Chase seemed distracted, repeatedly checking his phone. Concerned, Chase apologized to Willow, explaining that he was anxious about missing an important work meeting. Maggie reassured him that no one would fault him for taking time off for his wedding, but Chase remained uneasy, revealing that he had trusted someone else to handle it, only to find out they hadn’t shown up. His frustration grew, leading to an offhand comment about the person’s incompetence.

Meanwhile, Finn tried to lighten the mood by engaging in small talk with Maggie and Willow. However, tension lingered in the air, and it was clear that Chase’s mind was elsewhere. In an effort to ease the atmosphere, Violet brought out some champagne, offering a toast to her father’s happiness. The moment was bittersweet, with Finn expressing his gratitude for being part of Chase’s life and welcoming Willow into the family.

As the evening wore on, Chase’s phone buzzed again. This time, it was a message from Finn, who had to leave early due to a medical emergency. Chase, now more agitated, barely registered it, consumed by his irritation over the missed meeting. In a rush to meet someone else and put his work problems behind him, Chase decided to head out.

What happened next was a nightmare no one could have anticipated. Fiona, a new friend of Maggie’s who had joined the wedding celebrations, had been drinking heavily at a nearby bar with Brady. Despite being visibly intoxicated, she decided to drive home, with a passed-out Brady slumped in the passenger seat. As she sped through the streets of Port Charles, her car swerved uncontrollably, heading straight towards Sarah, who was crossing the square on her way back to meet Xander. Sarah screamed as the car bore down on her, but there was no time to react.

In a horrifying chain of events, Finn, who had left earlier, saw the approaching vehicle and instinctively ran towards Sarah to push her out of the way. The impact was devastating. Finn was struck, leaving him gravely injured, while Sarah escaped with minor injuries.

In the aftermath, the hospital was thrown into chaos as everyone rushed to Finn’s side. Despite the medical team’s best efforts, Finn succumbed to his injuries, leaving his family devastated. Violet, heartbroken by the loss of her father, is consumed with grief and anger, vowing to make those responsible pay.

Chase, riddled with guilt, realizes that his negligence set off the chain of events that led to his brother’s death. Willow, though supportive, cannot hide her own pain and disappointment, knowing that their wedding day will forever be tainted by tragedy.

Violet, however, is not content to let this tragedy go unanswered. With a steely resolve, she begins to plot her revenge against Fiona and Brady, determined to hold them accountable for their actions. As she sets her plan in motion, the residents of Port Charles will be left to wonder just how far Violet will go to avenge her father’s death.
