Friday, May 3, 2024

Sonny dropped by Dante's place to give him a new pair of boxing gloves that were better than the old ones he had. Sonny told him it was the least he could do, since Dante was "the only person in my family who I can trust."

Dante assured Sonny that he had more people in his corner than he realized, but Sonny didn't see it that way. The subject then turned to Nina and her willingness to sign the divorce papers. Sonny didn't trust her anymore. In fact, he didn't trust anyone -- Jason, Dex, Nina, Michael, Carly -- but Carly being on the list hurt him the most.

Sonny said he couldn't believe that Carly had told him to get out of her life the other night. He was hurt that Carly had turned him down when he'd offered to get the Metro Court back for her, but she hadn't turned Jason down. Sonny then told Dante that he was concerned about Dex joining the PCPD, warning his son that Dex couldn't be trusted.

Dante was alone on the terrace when Sam returned home and admired the boxing gloves, but Dante was concerned about his father. He also felt he might have crossed a line between being a cop and Sonny's son. Sonny hadn't asked him to interfere with Dex yet, but Dante felt it was coming. Sam said she knew Dante would do the right thing. Dante wasn't so sure. After all, he'd had ample opportunity to bring his father down through the years and hadn't. As he placed his badge on the table, he announced that he had no business being a cop.

Ava opened the door to Carly, who made herself at home to wait until Sonny returned. As Carly sat down on the couch as if she lived there, Ava had a disgusted look on her face. Carly told Ava she could just leave, but Ava set the record straight, telling Carly that Carly couldn't just walk into Sonny's apartment and act like she owned the place.

That prompted Carly to warn Ava that she might have turned herself into Sonny's "gatekeeper," but Carly was going to talk to her ex and the father of her children whenever she pleased, whether Ava liked it or not. As they argued, Sonny walked in and asked where Donna was.

Ava left the room so Carly and Sonny could talk. Carly announced that she was not taking Donna to Sonny's place anymore because she felt it wasn't good for Donna to be with him. Sonny was furious at the idea and didn't understand what the problem was. Carly told him she barely recognized him anymore. "I don't know what you're capable of, Sonny," she said.

Sonny insisted that as Donna's father, he had a legal right to see her. He said he would take Carly to court if he had to. Sonny felt Carly was using their daughter to turn on him. "You're getting everybody in my family to turn against me. Why?" he asked. Sonny blamed Jason for all of it. Carly accused Sonny of living in an alternate universe, and then it hit her. She immediately ran to the bathroom to make sure he was taking his meds.

Carly grabbed the pill vials and insisted on calling the pharmacist, as Sonny balked at the idea. Sonny insisted he was taking his meds, but Carly knew something was wrong. She wasn't judging him and just wanted to help him. Ava listened to that part of the conversation and was pleased when Sonny asked Carly if she thought that little of him that he'd risk it all by not taking his meds. Carly begged him to visit his doctor and see if he needed his dosage adjusted. Sonny then kicked Carly out. Once alone, Sonny told Ava that Carly could "go to hell."

Josslyn and Trina finished a 20-minute HITT training run through the park, leaving them breathless but proud of themselves. Trina joked with Josslyn that she was happy to be with a doctor-to-be in case she passed out. Josslyn paused for a moment before admitting, "I'm not so sure about that anymore."

Josslyn said she was considering switching her major because she wasn't sure she wanted to be a doctor. "Should I really be doing it if I'm anything less than all in?" she asked. Trina asked what had "brought this on," but Josslyn said she had been thinking about it for a while. When everything had happened with Adam, she had become more hesitant.

Trina tried reasoning that Adam's problems had nothing to do with studying medicine. Josslyn understood that but was overwhelmed with the thought of the MCAT, med school, a residency...it was all too much. Trina knew from Portia that being a doctor was hard, but also that it was worth the work. Josslyn understood that but wondered if it was for her. She wasn't sure if being a doctor was her passion.

The subject soon turned to Trina's life. Josslyn understood that her friend still mourned Spencer, but Trina wanted to move on with her life. However, she didn't know in which direction she wanted to go. Just then, the newest PCPD trainees ran by as Dex flashed Josslyn a grin. As Dex continued his training, Josslyn explained to Trina that she had decided to become a doctor when she had helped Dex after his gunshot wound. It had made her want to help people, so Trina asked if Josslyn just wanted to help Dex.

Josslyn denied that and said she wanted to feel she was doing something meaningful like Dex had done when he'd served in the military, but maybe being a doctor wasn't it. Trina also tried to get Josslyn to admit that she was still in love with Dex. While the young ladies engaged in their conversation, Dex changed into his cop uniform.

Drew gave Nina a ride to their meeting with the congressman who had once been friends with her father. Before they left the car, Nina wanted to make sure Drew knew just how important the meeting was and that he appreciated her. Nina asked him to follow her lead. Drew looked like he was leaning in for a kiss, but instead, he unbuckled her seat belt.

While Drew was not on the congressman's list, Nina entered the office with him, anyway, and reunited with her father's old friend. He immediately wanted to know who Drew was. When Nina told him, the congressman wasn't happy. He only wanted to talk to Nina alone, so Nina offered to escort Drew out. That was when Drew took the bull by the horns and asked the man for a moment to discuss a project that would interest his constituents.

Drew wanted to take two of Port Charles's underused piers and develop them into something beneficial for the community. The congressman liked the idea and was impressed that Drew was already working with Jordan on it. Drew admitted he needed federal funding, and that was where the congressman came in.

However, the congressman couldn't promise Drew anything because he had stage four lung cancer and was stepping down at the end of his term. That was why he wanted the meeting with Nina -- he hoped she could break the news in the press the right way. Drew was sorry, of course, but tried to convince the congressman to make this project his legacy. The congressman finally asked Nina if he could trust Drew.

Nina gave a passionate pitch, telling the congressman that Drew was a decorated Navy SEAL known for his philanthropy. "I could say truthfully that Drew could be tough but fair," she declared. Finally, the man agreed to push for funding if Drew's numbers panned out.

Alexis prepared for her law license hearing by asking Kristina and Sam which almost identical black business suit would work best. Kristina didn't seem to care because the baby kicked. Sam and Alexis were both alarmed when Kristina once again referred to the child she was carrying as her own.

Kristina went on about how the kicking kept her on her toes. She was clearly into the pregnancy, not noticing that Alexis and Sam kept giving each other looks. Kristina explained that she enjoyed talking about the pregnancy with her family, but tried not to do so with Molly because it was a sensitive topic. "This is the most powerful and profound experience I've ever had in my life," she admitted.

Sam soon had to leave to pick up Danny, and she lamented the trouble she was having with her son over the Jason situation. Once alone, Alexis asked Kristina how she was really doing. A smiling Kristina honestly said things were going great for her, but she worried about Molly and T.J. She also sensed tension between them.

Alexis was surprised when Kristina mentioned that she sometimes felt Molly and T.J. were looking at the baby as something to "check off on their list of accomplishments." Alexis was especially alarmed when Kristina said that Molly and T.J. were not falling in love with this baby as much as Kristina was. Alexis reasoned that perhaps Molly and T.J. were micromanaging her pregnancy so they could be a part of it. Alexis finally asked a very pointed question -- "Are you starting to think of this baby as more yours than your sister's?"
