The episode opens with a volatile confrontation between Dante Falconeri and Brook Lynn Quartermaine as they argue over the future of Gio Palmieri. Dante’s guilt over years of absence fuels his desperate plea for guardianship, while Brook Lynn, who’s fought to rebuild her life, insists that stepping up for Gio is her shot at redemption.

When Cody secretly witnesses Drew struggling through the hospital, shame overtakes him. He begins distancing himself from Tracy, even as she warns him of the consequences. Their final confrontation is tense—Tracy threatens, but Cody walks away, choosing integrity over manipulation.

Martin Gray’s Near-Death Ordeal

Rick, known for his manipulative past, brushes off accusations, but Martin remains wary. Their tense interaction ends with cryptic warnings, and Port Charles is left reeling from the near-deadly breach in hospital security.

Ava’s Suspicion and Digging for the Truth
