At Nina’s, Willow comes home to find Carly with Nina. Carly claims she wanted to check on her grandchildren. Willow states she is their mother, so she needs to go through her to see them. Willow isn’t up for this as she’s exhausted from her trip to Germany, where Michael refused to see her. Carly thinks Michael’s wised up to her, just like she’s wised up to Drew. Willow states Drew was drugged, and she still believes in him.
Willow Has a Theory
Carly leaves, and Willow asks Nina if she’s an idiot for believing Drew. Nina points out Willow was furious a few hours ago, so what changed? Willow says she had time to think, and none of this makes sense. She and Drew don’t keep secrets, and she knows him inside and out. Nina asks if it is possible she wants to believe Drew because she’s upended her whole life for him. It wouldn’t just be about Drew’s choices, but about hers as well.
Willow says she has been asking herself the same thing. Nina tells Willow that it’s clear Drew has been unfaithful, and he’s not the man she thinks he is. She says Drew pursued her when she was still married, and a decent man doesn’t do that. She must think long and hard before forgiving him. Willow believes Drew was drugged, and she thinks they both know who did it. Nina asks Willow what she’s thinking. Willow believes the escort gave the drugs to Drew, but was put up to it. Someone hired her to set Drew up.
Carly Stops Lulu From Telling Dante the Truth
At Lulu’s, she’s stunned when Dante says he loves her too. She never expected him to say that. Dante replies, “Me too.” Dante says he feels the way she does, but he can’t think about it as he’s still in love with Sam. Lulu understands, which is why she never wanted to tell him, and why Maxie had no right to tell him. Dante tells Lulu there is still something between them, but he thinks she’s projecting her issues about their situation onto Brook Lynn.
Lulu calls that ridiculous and says Dante wouldn’t say that if he knew… Dante asks, “Knew what?” Lulu says Brook Lynn has done some awful stuff, but doesn’t go into detail. Dante yells at her to stop beating around the bush and tell him what Brook Lynn has done. Suddenly, Carly arrives and asks if everything is okay.
Fed up, Dante storms out, saying he’s done. Lulu opens up to Carly about their argument and has decided to tell Dante the truth about Brook Lynn, but Carly tells her, “Don’t you dare!” Carly reminds her how Robin blew up her, Michael and Jason’s lives about AJ being Michael’s father, and Jason and Robin were never the same. Lulu says AJ had a right to know the truth, but Carly argues it wasn’t Robin’s place to tell him, and it’s not Lulu’s place to say a thing to Dante. Lulu asks, “If you knew Jason had a kid out there, you wouldn’t tell him?” Dante is important to her like Jason is to Carly. Carly admits Lulu got her, but if she exposes this secret, she’ll regret it for the rest of her life.
Carly says Brook Lynn’s son could have a wonderful life and not even know he’s adopted. She needs to make sure she is doing this because she feels Dante needs to know, or because she hates Brook Lynn that much.
Tracy Squares Off with Lois
In the Quartermaine living room, Tracy asks Lois where her great-grandson is. Lois asks how she found out. Tracy’s glad she’s not denying it. Lois says, “Screw it, let’s do this!” Tracy explains what she knows and wants to know if putting the baby up for adoption was Brook Lynn’s idea or hers. Lois says the decision was Brook Lynn’s, and she supported her.Tracy feels Lois has been deceiving this family for decades and forced Brook Lynn to keep this secret. Lois says she did precisely what Brook Lynn asked her to, and the only thing she did was convince her daughter she wasn’t a terrible person for getting pregnant. She did her best, and it’s weighed on her ever since. Lois tells Tracy that if she doesn’t want to believe her, that is her problem. Tracy says, “Wrong, Brook Lynn doesn’t know where her son is, but you do!”Lois states it was a closed adoption, but Tracy felt she purposefully left the Quartermaines out because they had the money to help Brook Lynn out back then. Lois says this wasn’t about money, which is all her family thinks about. Brook Lynn said she wasn’t ready to be a mother and didn’t want to go down her father’s route, dumping her baby off with the Qs just like Tracy dumped Dillion and Ned off on Lila and Monica. Lois knows how the Qs operate, and her grandson deserved better. Tracy yells that is why she gave the baby up for adoption, because she dislikes their family. Lois tells her it wasn’t the reason, it was just a bonus!
Drew Pieces Things Together
At the hospital, Drew recalls being with Tracy at the Port Charles Grill, but doesn’t tell Mac. He says everything is fuzzy, and he’ll tell Mac when he remembers more. When he remembers who did this, he wants the person nailed.
Later, Drew is given fluids by Deanna, who suggests his memory will come back in time. She also suggests he check his phone’s GPS to see where he may have been last night. Drew finds that he came to the hospital and remembers meeting with Portia.
Marco turns up at the hospital, and Lucas hopes he’s not sick. They flirt, and Marco explains he was just grabbing files for a client and used it as an excuse to run into him. They head to the vending machines as Lucas is on a break and then go to Lucas’ office. They talk about their date, which was a night to remember, what with Drew’s performance at The Savoy. Lucas and Marco are both excited for their next date. Brad storms into Portia’s office with his new leverage, which is that he got K for her and pulled all sorts of medical files on Drew so she could figure out the perfect dose for him. He knows Portia was behind Drew’s party the night before. Portia says she didn’t drug Drew, but Brad did! Portia says nobody would believe an ex-con over her, and she knew he’d use this to blackmail her again. She orders him out of her office and to leave her alone, or she’ll make sure he goes down for drugging Drew. Brad storms out.
