And Baby Makes Three
Brook Lynn and Chase got baby Phoebe settled in for her first night in the Quartermaine mansion. On his way out of their bedroom to get the baby a bottle, Chase told his wife that he was glad they hadn’t brought Phoebe home the night before, because he would have missed it since he’d been working Curtis and Jordan’s car accident. Once she was alone with her foster daughter, Brook Lynn confessed that she feared she had something to do with the wreck. She told the baby that she’d nearly collided with another car the night before, but she didn’t know that the other vehicle had crashed. She’d also been afraid that if she stopped, the police would be called and she’d have to submit to a breathalyzer test, Brook Lynn added. Since she’d had wine shortly before driving, she wasn’t confident she’d pass, and that would ruin her and Chase becoming Phoebe’s foster parents. Chase then came back in with a bottle, unsure if it was warm enough, and revealed that he was nervous about messing things up with Phoebe. Brook Lynn replied that she felt the same way. Later, Brook Lynn tried to hide her inner panic when Chase revealed that he’d been worried they wouldn’t get a chance to take care of Phoebe, but now the baby could stay with them as long as needed.
Taking Blame
After Jordan woke up, Lucas gave her an update on her medical prognosis, and Curtis explained how he’d pulled her from the car before it exploded. Once Lucas left her room, Curtis explained to Jordan that the rest of the family had convinced TJ not to fly home from overseas, and she thanked him for saving her life. Later, Curtis pressed a kiss to Jordan’s lips, causing her to recall leaning over to kiss him in the car and how the accident happened. Declaring that she was at fault for the accident, Jordan cried that she could have killed them both. She then asked about the other car, and Curtis informed Jordan that the other driver had never even stopped to check on them.
Big Brother Is Watching
Britt and Brad were hanging out at the Brown Dog Bar when “Nathan” and Lulu walked in. After the group exchanged awkward pleasantries, Lulu and “Nathan” continued over to the bar, and Brad surprised his best friend with the news that “Nathan” and Lulu had been dating for about a month. Flashing back to her argument with Cassius about the secrets she’s been keeping for him, Britt commented that her brother must have had several reasons for keeping her in the dark about his new relationship.
At another table, Lulu told “Nathan” that she blamed Britt for the physical and emotional pain Rocco was in, then thanked her boyfriend for being the person she could talk to and trust with her son’s predicament. When “Nathan” pointed out that Britt had no idea Rocco had followed her to Pier 55 that night, Lulu groused that Rocco wouldn’t have had anything to do with Britt at all if she hadn’t been playing mom with the teen. Realizing that she was trashing his sister, Lulu apologized for putting “Nathan” in a tough spot, and he acknowledged that his sister had caused Lulu pain over the years. When he joked that he’d take Lulu’s side, she announced that she was done complaining for the night, then excused herself to reset in the bathroom.
Despite Brad’s attempt to stop her, Britt followed Lulu into the bathroom, where Lulu lashed out that Britt was confusing Rocco and once again asked the doctor to leave her son alone. Britt warned Lulu that being with Nathan was a huge mistake, claiming that her brother had changed after being gone and needed time to figure out who he was before diving into a relationship. When Lulu insisted Nathan was the same wonderful guy he’d always been, Britt replied that that was because it was who Lulu needed him to be. Then, when Lulu accused Britt of trying to keep them apart, Britt scoffed, “Don’t say I didn’t warn you,” and exited. Lulu looked like she didn’t know what to make of Britt’s comments.
Meanwhile, Brad sat down with “Nathan” and asked why he hadn’t told Britt he was dating Lulu. Sticking up for his best friend, Brad said that Lulu had been relentlessly hard on Britt, even unfair, considering Rocco would never have been born had it not been for Britt. Then, when Brad accused “Nathan” of being disloyal to Britt by dating Lulu, “Nathan” turned the tables and stated that Brad wasn’t being a good friend by encouraging Britt’s worst impulses and behavior. “Nathan” threatened to intervene if he saw any signs of Brad being a bad influence on his sister.
Love Shack
Justine and Sonny slept together again at the apartment above Charlie’s Pub. Afterwards, she insisted that going to bed with Sonny hadn’t been her intention when she’d asked him to meet up. Sonny acknowledged that he knew she’d come by to alert him to Sidwell’s threats and added that he had protection in place for his friends and family. When Justine got worried that guards were watching the apartment, Sonny assured her that they were alone and noted that they both had a lot to lose if anyone found out about the “fun” they’d been having. Even though they’d broken their vow not to sleep together again, Justine said she didn’t regret it, and in another world, they could explore what was between them. Sonny suggested that the upside was that they had the apartment to continue seeing each other in secret, and gave Justine a key to use next time.
Nagging Feeling
Over at Miller & Davis, Alexis told Diane that Danny had reached out to Sonny about joining the mob. As Alexis signed the document that made her guardianship of Danny official, Diane encouraged her to follow up with Willow’s promise to drop Drew’s restraining order before it became an issue. Alexis huffed that she would bring it up, but was trying to keep her interactions with Willow to a minimum since she couldn’t even look at the other woman, knowing she got away with attempted murder. Next, Alexis shared that it was suspicious that Willow had been so adamant about Scout moving back home, yet Scout is always at the Davis home… almost as if Willow didn’t really want Scout around. Diane urged Alexis to leave it alone and just be grateful that Willow was letting her spend so much time with Scout. But Alexis proclaimed that she had a feeling that something wasn’t right, and it worried her.
Daughter Dearest
Willow played up the devoted mother act as she tearfully told Nina that she’d shot Drew out of desperation to keep her children. Explaining how she’d taken Edward’s gun, Willow told her mother that, at first, she’d only wanted to ward Drew off. But when Judge Heran was murdered, and she lost her chance to get her children back on her own, she snapped, and that’s what led her to shoot her husband in the back. Nina then assumed that Willow was so insistent on taking care of Drew herself because she felt guilty that the shooting had caused his stroke. Willow corrected her and told her shocked mother that she’d been injecting Drew with a paralytic drug supplied by Jenz Sidwell. When Nina asked how long she planned to keep drugging Drew, Willow replied that she was going to keep it up until she could ensure he wouldn’t come after her by getting leverage over him — the same way she had leverage over Nina, Willow added.
Nina was stunned when Willow revealed that the injection Nina had given Drew earlier wasn’t pain medication, but the paralytic drug — and Nina realized that the needle had her fingerprints on it. Swearing she didn’t want to have to use this against Nina, Willow stated she could see how conflicted Nina was about the pressure she was getting from Jack Brennan to choose between her and Charlotte, so she’d chosen for her. Now, Nina had to side with her, or she’d go down for drugging Drew.
Although she was hurt, Nina said she understood why Willow had gone to such extremes, but it was one thing to shoot Drew in a moment of desperation and another to keep him trapped inside his body. Willow cried that she would not survive being separated from her children again, so she had to guarantee that she had control over both Drew and Nina, even if her mother hated her. Nina declared that she didn’t hate her and would be on her side even if Willow wasn’t forcing her to, then asked her daughter what the next move was. Willow asked Nina to keep her updated on the situation with Agent Brennan, because the traffic cam footage couldn’t see the light of day. Then, she informed her mother that two other people (meaning Trina and Kai) knew she’d shot Drew but seemed to be keeping it to themselves — and she had to make sure it stayed that way.
Was Brook Lynn driving the other car that nearly collided with Jordan and Curtis, or was it someone else? Will Brad figure out that “Nathan” isn’t who he claims to be? Did Nina forgive Willow too easily? Share your thoughts about the latest episode of GH in the comments below!
