Dawn of Drew

Nina summoned Jack to the Dawn of Drew house and he arrived in short order. Jack said he was working on getting Willow the leverage she needed against Drew, but Willow said she had a more urgent issue at the moment. She needed Jack to make Willow's trip log evidence disappear, just as he had done with the traffic cam footage.

Jack assured her that Justine didn't have any real evidence, so this would all blow over. So, Willow returned to the matter at hand...the leverage against Drew. She had been rationing his doses, so Drew has been regaining mobility. They needed to act fast before he could speak. That prompted Nina to want to join Jack on Spoon Island. She had to know he would keep his word and find the evidence.

Once alone with Drew, Willow tried to check his vitals. She told him that due to his "little frame job," she had sent Scout to live with Alexis. "You know, if you weren't so vindictive, I would be happy to let you go and never see you again, but I've seen first hand what you're like and I will not let you destroy my life," she said.

Before she could say much more, Kai dropped by to pick up some congressional papers. When Willow left the room to get the papers, Drew knocked over her medical bag to get Kai's attention. Kai immediately knew Drew had done it, so Drew moved his feet. He also blinked that he didn't want Willow to know, so Kai obliged.

Kai told Willow that he had knocked over her bag and ran out. The problem was, Willow didn't believe Kai for a second. She warned Drew that she'd have to be more creative with her methods to control him as she remembered Jack suggesting she could always kill her husband.

A Wyndemere Adventure

At Wyndemere, Dante was boxing up evidence against Sidwell, but realized the WSB took most of it. He was surprised when Valentin and Charlotte showed up out of nowhere. He planned to buy the place and move back in. Dante asked a cop to take Charlotte to look at his old room so he could have a talk with Valentin.

Dante wasn't sure how Valentin got a free pass from the WSB, but he wasn't happy to see him. Dante warned Valentin he would damage his daughter if he tried to turn her against Lulu. Valentin didn't seem bothered and told Dante that he must blame him for some of Rocco's more "questionable decisions."

Valentin thought it was a win-win if Charlotte lived with him for a bit. It would alleviate some tension with Lulu and keep Charlotte from being a bad influence on Rocco. Dante accused Valentin of only caring about himself and predicted he'd grow bored of Charlotte soon enough. "You should want her to be with Lulu for the stability that she provides," Dante said.

Charlotte heard that and told Dante that stability isn't keeping a kid on lock and key away from her dad. "My dad trusts me and treats me like I'm 16 and not 6. My mom doesn't and that's why I'm going to live with my dad," she said.

After Dante left, Charlotte went on and on about decorating her room, but Valentin warned her it might be a while till they could buy the place. He would be staying at the Metro Court for now. She asked why he wasn't staying with Carly when Jack and Nina walked in. Valentin was surprised to see how well Jack was doing. Charlotte just wanted to know why Nina was there.

Nina claimed that Jack was going to help her put together the puzzle pieces so she could understand what had happened to Cassius. Before leaving, Charlotte told Jack and Nina she'd never forget that they used her to try to find Valentin. Once alone, Jack warned Nina that Valentin might find the black box before them.

Hospital Happenings

At GH, Elizabeth offered to give Dr. Tristan Roberts a tour of the place just as Tracy approached her with some unfinished business. Tristan left to find HR first instead, so Tracy chastised Liz for pressuring her into allowing Sonny onto the hospital board. After some back and forth, Tracy told Liz she hoped that she was right about this.

Tristan reappeared and asked Elizabeth if she knew where Bobbie's was. He was under the impression that it was a bed and breakfast and had booked a room.

Dante later stopped by to see Elizabeth. He wanted to make an appointment for a physical before becoming a detective again. Liz noted he was getting back to normal, but Dante didn't find Valentin being around to be normal. He also wondered if Charlotte was now a bad influence on Rocco.

Elizabeth told Dante he could always vent to her, so he said she might never get rid of him. Liz didn't seem to mind.

At Bobbie's, Britt left a voicemail for Carly complaining about the changed lock. She was surprised when Isaiah walked in and seemed happy to see her. However, he was only glad she was back so she could deliver Portia's baby. After a minute, he admitted he didn't care why she had taken off. It was none of his business. When Tristan arrived and Britt realized he had booked her room, she threw a fit.

Jason Quartermorgan Is Back

As soon as Danny spotted Jason outside the Q boathouse, he ran to his dad so father and son could embrace. Jason promised Danny that he was home for good. Jason wanted to know all about Danny's last few months, but Danny was more concerned with his father's cuts and bruises.

Jason informed Danny that he was told he was being released two days ago, but Jack had just told Danny that there was nothing he could do. Danny informed Jason that he knew Rocco shot Cullum before launching into a rant about how Rocco had lied and let Jason take the fall for something he didn't do.

Jason explained that he had to make a split-second decision and he decided that protecting Rocco was best. Jason knew that nobody would believe the self-defense plea when the victim was a well-decorated WSB director. "I saw Rocco standing there, in shock, holding that gun. And all I could think about was, 'What if i was you?'" Jason said.

"Dad, did you ever think about the fact that I might never see you again?" Danny asked. Jason admitted that he thought he'd had time to come up with a plan. He never thought the WSB would do what it did to him. Danny argued with Jason some more until his dad put his foot down and said that Rocco would never have survived what Jason had just gone through.

Jason noted that Danny had suffered the consequences of his actions too many times. He couldn't change the past, but the future would be different. "Being your father is my only priority," he said. Jason asked Danny who he had spoken with at the WSB. Danny told him, Jack, but Tracy appeared before he could say much more. She was thrilled that her nephew was home.

Both Danny and Tracy were pleasantly surprised when Jason said he wanted to take Danny on vacation for a few days. In fact, it was Tracy's job to inform everyone else he was back cause they were leaving right then and there.

Pregnant Portia

Portia opened the door to find Jordan standing there, itching for a fight. She told Portia to just tell the truth about what happened at the Metro Court Gardens. It's not like Curtis intended to hurt Isaiah. It was only one punch, after all. Portia was not about to perjure herself and would tell the same story at the civil trial.

Jordan was surprised to hear that Isaiah was suing Curtis. She was also outraged, chastising Portia for not being grateful for all the "amazing things" Curtis had done for her. Portia asked Jordan to leave, but Jordan kept laying into her about Isaiah's lawsuit. She didn't notice that a woman who was nine months pregnant looked as if she were in pain and out of breath.

Are you surprised Jason didn't go see Sonny first? Are you enjoying Dante and Elizabeth together? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
