A General Hospital save from Brook Lynn

Chase and Brook Lynn enjoyed some idyllic time in the Q living room with Phoebe. Chase was glad that the baby would grow up with so much extended family around her, declaring that she was meant to be their daughter. When Tracy appeared, she noted that the toy Amelia had left for the baby needed to be returned.

Chase agreed to take it to her and to move Brook Lynn's car. After he left, Brook Lynn told Tracy that Alexis had thought she and Chase were the perfect candidates to adopt Phoebe. Tracy asked if Brook Lynn was glad she listened to her about keeping the guardrail crash a secret.

When Chase returned to the room, he asked Brook Lynn why she never mentioned something was wrong with her car. He heard a rattle coming from the passenger side door. Brook Lynn brushed it off and said she hadn't even noticed. As Chase left for his shift, Portia arrived.

Portia wanted to see Tracy, but thanked Brook Lynn for all she was doing for Trina's burgeoning singing career. However, she was really there to talk about Derrick and the need to find a doctor to perform a complicated liver transplant. She blamed the situation on Curtis' fixation with blaming Isaiah for Jordan's accident.

Brook Lynn immediately felt guilty, but stayed silent as she listened to Portia. They needed to transport Derrick to a facility in Chicago, but the transport would be expensive and she'd hoped GH could pay for it. Brook Lynn immediately offered to pay for it herself.

Willow's trapped

Willow continued to exercise Drew's muscles, telling him it might be a good idea to send Scout to sleepaway camp. She also said that she hated having to do this to him, but was working on a way to free them both.

Willow babbled on about how she was never prepared to take his seat in Congress, but was forced into it. However, she was good at it and wanted to remain a Port Charles representative. "I actually listen to what they want and need, unlike you," Willow pointed out.

Willow told Drew that she would give him his life back if she could trust that he would let bygones be bygones and leave her alone. She knew he would try to control her again, so she needed leverage. Just then, Sidwell arrived at Willow's behest. He was quite annoyed and didn't appreciate being summoned.

What could Willow want, he wondered. So, Willow told him. They had to stop dosing Drew, or things would start to look suspicious due to Jack Brennan's condition. They would keep Jack locked in, but Drew had to be locked out. Sidwell disagreed and wanted to keep Drew like this indefinitely. "He can't talk if he can't speak. Enjoy the quiet," Sidwell advised.

Willow didn't get too far with her argument before Sidwell had to take a call. He asked for privacy, so Willow took Drew back upstairs. She told whoever was on the other end to find Britt and bring her back to Port Charles now.

When Willow returned to the living room, Sidwell told her to do what she was told, stop wasting his time. That's when Willow got serious and warned Jenz that if he didn't do what she wanted, she might lose her seat in Congress and then she wouldn't be of any use to him. So, Sidwell said she could stop drugging Drew, while assuring her that Drew would keep Willow's antics quiet because he would be dead.

An alarmed Willow told Sidwell not to kill Drew, so he suggested she do it herself. She could smother him or give him a better stroke. But Willow didn't want Drew dead. She didn't even mean to shoot him. She just lost her head for a moment. Willow only wanted Sidwell to give her leverage, but Sidwell suggested that she find something herself because he had more pressing matters to take care of.

As Sidwell left, he ordered Willow to keep funding the WSB. She asked why he cared, but Sidwell only said that the WSB did very important work. Once alone, Willow realized the mess of her own making that she was in and sat down to have a good cry. She was in her altered state when the doorbell rang and she opened the door to Chase.

He could immediately tell that something was wrong, so Willow broke down and told him she felt trapped. "I can't take it, Chase. I don't want to be married to Drew anymore," she said.

Listen to the music

Trina stopped by Bobbie's to see Gio, who was on a work shift. He wanted to talk about their music, but Trina wasn't feeling up to rehearsing that day. She explained everything that was going on with her father and Isaiah, including the fact that Isaiah couldn't perform a necessary transplant for a little boy.

She couldn't sleep the night before, thinking of little Derrick being in this situation because her dad couldn't hold his temper. Trina realized she may have been defending Curtis too much over the last few years, but she wanted to embrace him as her father. After hearing about Isaiah's hand, she realized she was wrong to ask Portia to have Isaiah go easy on Curtis.

Gio understood why Trina wanted to take a few days away from rehearsing to regroup. Trina admitted that she wasn't sure she even wanted to do the showcase. Gio didn't like that idea, so he did his best and finally talked Trina into changing her mind by telling her to use the music to work through her feelings.

Michael's suspicions

In his office, Curtis informed Michael that he had been charged with egregious assault and bodily harm. Curtis scoffed when he mentioned that Isaiah broke his hand when he fell. Michael seemed just as unconcerned, even as he pointed out that Isaiah was now a surgeon with a broken hand.

Curtis didn't regret what he did at all, as he was still convinced that Isaiah was driving the car Jordan swerved to miss. Curtis also worried that this would become a PR nightmare for Aurora. Michael promised to have Curtis' back.

Curtis then told Michael about the circumstantial evidence against Isaiah, but Michael wasn't sure that proved anything. He tried talking some sense into Curtis, but to no avail. Curtis was willing to accept a plea deal if there was no jail time, but also thought he could convince a jury that he was provoked.

When Curtis was alone in his office, Portia barreled in to tell him that Isaiah may never be able to operate again. Curtis reminded her this only happened because Isaiah drove away from an accident, in Curtis' delusional mind. Portia asked what Curtis would do once he learned he was wrong.

As for Michael, he walked into his living room to hear Tracy yelling at a tow truck driver that they needed to fix the passenger door on Brook Lynn's BMW. It had been rattling for six weeks. After his conversation with Curtis, Michael made note of all of this.

Cody is Casey

Cody sat on Alexis' couch while Molly complained about her book cover to her publisher. She didn't want her novel to just be thought of as a series of sex scenes. It was a love story, after all. Cody was surprised to learn that some of the sex scenes in Molly's book were things she imagined doing with him.

Molly and Cody started to get frisky on the couch just as Suzanne arrived with some files for Alexis. She even had a key and let herself in. An embarrassed Molly was pleased to know that Suzanne had read an advance copy of her book and loved it. When Suzanne looked at Cody, she realized that he was "Casey."
