Keep on reading for all the details.
Power Position
In front of Gio, Willow accused Michael of having Jacinda drug her, claiming a blood test would prove it. She declared she would take him to court and make sure he never saw the kids again. Gio the kids immediately and, in court, make sure he never saw them again. Uncomfortable with the arguing, Gio blurted out that he had to meet Trina and took off.
Insisting that he would never have drugged her, Michael offered to let Willow take the kids for a few days, hoping things could cool down between them. Michael added that he hated how much their animosity was affecting Wiley and told her that their son had been so happy when Willow said (while in her drugged state) that she wanted them to go away as a family. Michael wanted them to be more civil with each other for their kids’ sake, but Willow wasn’t sure whether he was being sincere.
Willow returned home to Nina’s condo to see her mother in a tizzy because Jacinda had flaked on work, and they guessed that Jacinda skipped town. Nina moaned that Jacinda would never pay for drugging Willow, but a triumphant Willow announced that she now held all the power in the custody battle. Nina pleaded with her daughter to reach a peaceful agreement before something truly tragic happened. Willow declared that she would never stop Michael from seeing the kids, but he would see them on her terms.
Smoking Gun
At Bobbie’s, Kai wanted Trina to attend a party with him, but she declined because she was worried about her dad going to prison if the jury found him guilty. When a frazzled Gio arrived, he told Kai and Trina how Willow had accused Michael of drugging her and threatened never to let him see the kids again. Trina and Kai exchanged a concerned look, knowing that they had the information to help Michael.
Trina and Kai went to the Quartermaine mansion and declared that they had a way to stop Willow from taking the kids from him. Michael was stunned as they explained that Willow shot Drew — and they knew this for a fact, because they were there. After recounting what happened the night of the shooting and how they had deduced that Willow was the shooter because of Wiley’s ringtone, Kai and Trina told Michael they were ready to go public and expose Willow’s crime. “That won’t be necessary,” replied Michael. “I know a better way to get us all what we want.”
The Verdict Is In
At Portia’s, Isaiah happily shared that the latest MRI of his hand showed improvement and he was hopeful he’d be able to operate again. When Portia blamed herself for his injury, Isaiah declared that he loved her and Des, no matter where they’d started.
Despite his good prognosis, Isaiah still wanted Curtis to face justice, but Portia wasn’t sure how she wanted the jury to vote. If Curtis was acquitted, Portia was sure he’d use the baby to push Isaiah out of her life, but on the other hand, it would be difficult for her children if he were found guilty. Isaiah and Portia would soon get the answer, because Isaiah received a phone call that the verdict was in.
At the Metro Court Gardens, Jordan filled Curtis in about her meeting with Valentin, sharing that she’d realized she could have a lucrative career as a corporate consultant. Curtis offered her a job at Aurora, but Jordan wanted to build something on her own merit. As they nervously waited for the jury’s verdict, Curtis and Jordan were hopeful that he’d be found not guilty so they could move forward.
Drew stopped by Curtis and Jordan’s table and Curtis thanked him for testifying at the trial. Drew said that he was prepared to make up for lost time now that he was recovered. Martin approached Curtis and Jordan to tell them he’d received a call from the courthouse that the jury had reached a verdict.
All or Nothing
Drew met with Martin and shared that he wanted to bid on Sidwell’s assets. Martin pointed out that Sonny also wanted some of Sidwell’s holdings, and Drew declared that he was prepared to fight. With Jason no longer working for Sonny, Drew saw his chance to take down Sonny once and for all, and saw Sidwell’s assets as vital to that effort.
Rocco stopped by Sonny’s to vent about Charlotte moving out because of the tension between them and asked if his grandfather thought he relied on his parents too much. Assuring Rocco that was normal, Sonny acknowledged that there were special circumstances that had his parents being overprotective right now and reminded Rocco never to forget that he’d saved two lives by shooing Cullum.
Later, Ric arrived after confirming at the courthouse that Sidwell had accepted a plea deal for 26 years in prison. Ric relayed that Drew was also interested in Sidwell’s assets. Sonny was sure there was a personal vendetta involved and that Drew wanted to take something that belonged to him.
Sonny explained that he wanted Sidwell’s holdings to move in a legitimate direction because Jason had quit the business, and he was following suit. Ric said he was happy for his brother, and Sonny said he expected Ric to be brutally honest with him, how Jason had always been. Sonny then asked Ric what the best way was for him to get everything he wanted — and for Drew to get nothing.
Parents Just Don’t Understand
At the pool, Drew checked on Scout, who was still upset that she couldn’t spend time with Danny. Drew explained that he was concerned about Danny’s reckless behavior and loved Scout too much to put her in danger. Begrudgingly, Scout said she understood.
When Rocco showed up for his shift, he and Scout commiserated about their overprotective parents. Scout lamented that her dad didn’t want her to see any of her family members. When she wished she was more like Charlotte and Danny, who did whatever they wanted, Rocco told Scout she wasn’t selfish like them. Rocco then timed Scout on her swim training, and when she was done, she playfully pushed him into the pool.
