Britt was annoyed to find Jason in her room at Bobbie’s (formerly Kelly’s Diner) after she had discovered him snooping. Jason said if he wanted to make off with her meds, he would have done so already. Jason had questions. Britt said she was fine. Jason said he did research and wasn’t sure how Britt’s symptoms were all being blocked. Britt quipped Jason wouldn’t learn what he needed to on “wiki drugs.” Jason said something wasn’t adding up. Jason told Britt he believed that she was still doing things to make sure she’d continue to get her mids. He added that he wanted to work together with her

Jason said that he wanted to give some of her meds to an outfit that could help, someone who’s a good friend of his who used to be in intelligence. Jason wanted to help Britt be free from whoever was holding the meds over her head.

Britt quipped that Jason wanted to cure Huntington’s. Jason said he had always accepted Britt for who she was. “And who is that?” Britt asked. Jason said that she was a doctor who helped people, who cared about her mother, Nathan, and Brad.

Jason said he wouldn’t leave Britt when she had the bomb strapped to her ankle. He asked her to let him help her. Britt grabbed Jason and kissed, passionately. “Not a chance,” she said.

Isiah checked on Portia, who said she was getting out of the hospital soon. She just needed rest. Isiah asked how she’d feel about spending some time with him. Portia confessed that Isiah’s cabin was more inviting than her place at the Metro Court. Trina interrupted and asked her mom how she was doing. Isiah left. Trina asked when her mother was going to tell her about the baby she was carrying.

Trina said she learned about the baby after hearing Aunt Stella and Curtis talking at Thanksgiving. Portia said the goal was to keep it from everyone until after the first trimester. She added that he’d figured it out and couldn’t lie to him. Trina wanted to know if the divorce was being called off. Portia said nothing had changed.

Trina told Portia that she went to see her dad at the police station. She brought up Jordan’s name and then realized that her mom's health could be affected by the subject of Jordan. Portia urged Trina to focus on school and Kai. Trina said that the baby will be lucky to have Portia and Curtis as parents.

Kristina came home and asked Alexis if Willow was ready for her trial. Alexis said there’s a new suspect that might not bode well for them. Alexis theorized that Drew would uphold the restraining order with Scout if Alexis didn't save Willow more directly. Kristina said she was worried about Scout, but also, Michael. Alexis wondered what would happen if Willow got custody.

Drew visited Curtis in prison. The congressman said that he didn’t want Curtis to go down for the crime even though he knew he had done it. Curtis said he didn’t shoot Drew, and he didn’t care if he believed him or not. Curtis did point out that if he goes down, then Drew will, too. Curtis said that he would take the stand and testify at trial that Drew abused his power and went after Portia and Aunt Stella. Drew doubted he’d do that. Curtis held firm.

Drew said that if Curtis took the stand, then he’d suddenly remember who shot him. Dante appeared and told Curtis that he had good news for him, and he told Drew that he had news that wasn’t too good for him.

Nina was aghast that Michael and Jacinda, her assistant, were having sex her office! A shirtless Michael suggested she calm down. Dressed, Michael invited Nina back into her own office. Michael said that they’re all adults, and Nina walked in on a private moment. He pointed out that Nina had had relations with Drew in his office. Nina wanted her office professionally sanitized. “For a woman who hired someone to drug a congressman, you’re acting awfully superior,” Jalinda pointed out. Nina said she wasn’t acting – she was Jalinda’s superior. Michael claimed HR already knew about him and Jacinda.

Nina wanted to know if the dress she saw on her floor was a specific designer. Nina said that HR might be okay with Michael and Jacinda’s affair, but the family court wouldn’t be. Nina said that Michael and his sex worker could christen every flat service in Port Charles after he loses custody of Wiley and Amelia.

Michael warned Nina not to talk to HR about Jacinda and him. Nina agreed but she stipulated that Michael had to promise not to have sex in her office. “We’ll try to restrain ourselves,” Michael said. Jacinda was more committed and said it wouldn’t happen again. She excused herself to go back to her desk, but Nina commanded her to stop.

Nina said that all the dresses in her office needed to be steamed, the designer dress on the floor needed to be dry cleaned, and everything needed to be logged and photographed. Jacinda agreed. Nina agreed to look the other way. Jacinda thanked Nina.

Nina thought for a moment and then pointed out to Jacinda that if she didn’t want to return to her former line of work that she needed to side with her.

Willow went to see Chase. She shared with him that the police have another suspect. Willow told Chase that the police suspect Curtis, so she can see her kids now. Chase pointed out that the judge handed down her decision before Drew was shot.

Brook Lynn said Chase could stop putting his career on the line for Willow now that the police have another suspect. She added it was good that she got there when she did. Brook Lynn read Willow the riot act. Willow apologized. Brook Lynn said she understood Willow’s position, but she stands by what she said. Willow started to leave and asked if they could keep quiet about her even coming there. Chase agreed. Willow thanked them and left. Brook Lynn asked Chase what he was thinking.

Brook Lynn urged Chase to let this all play out. Chase said it would have been awful if Michael had walked in and seen Willow. “Yeah, it would,” Michael said as he stood in the doorway. Michael was glad to hear that Brook Lynn and Chase had gotten rid of Willow before she saw the kids, but that he needed them to sign something that would say she was there. Chase said that wasn’t going to happen.

Brook Lynn said they didn’t want to get involved. Chase said he had no interest in coming between a mother and her kids, but that Michael was more than free to subpoena him.

Dante asked an officer to get him Willow’s testimony to check out a discrepancy. Dante showed D.A. Turner and Nathan the newly discovered video of Willow driving in the rain on Drew’s street. It’s not clear evidence, but it supports their case against Willow. Dante asked Turner who she wanted to go after Willow, or Curtis now that there's new information.

Turner said there was no denying the incriminating evidence against Willow. Turner said they’d be proceeding with Willow’s trial after all.

Turner called Alexis and updated her on the new information about Willow and how this could lead to further charges. Nathan wondered if it was wise to drop charges against Curtis. Turner said they could keep them in their back pockets for later, but that the case against Willow was stronger.

Nathan called Nina, who was cleaning her office. She was happy to hear her voice. He asked her to come to the station. Something had happened, and Chase thought Nina should hear it from him.

Nina told Jacinda that she had to go out. She added that whoever gets ahead at Crimson depends on her. Nina pointed out that Michael would drop her, and that she didn’t want to be 40 years old, turning tricks. She advised Jacinda that she should be careful where she made her messes, and she’d never know when she might need a friend.

Willow showed up at Alexis’s, wanting to know if the charges had been dropped. Alexis asked Willow why she’d been lying all along. Drew arrived and wanted to know about the new evidence. Willow showed Drew the video of her driving in the rain on a street near Drew’s house that Alexis had given her. Willow swore to Drew that she didn’t go inside. Drew said he believed her. They hugged. “Yeah, that’s lovely,” Alexis said with a bit of sarcasm. “Now, I just have to convince a jury of that.” Drew said he was confident that she would find a way. Alexis said Willow’s lies had made her job harder.

An anxious Curtis asked Isiah at General Hospital where Portia was. He pointed out that Portia couldn’t have any stress right now. Curtis entered Portia’s room. Trina hugged her father, happy to have seen him. Curtis asked if the baby was okay. Curtis said that everything would be fine. Nothing else mattered than they were there with Trina and a healthy baby was on the way.

Portia spied Isiah in her doorway, nodding yes, as Curtis invited Portia to come home with him. Trina offered to help. Portia agreed. Curtis and Trina were thrilled.

Nathan told Nina that the charges against Curtis were being dropped and the case against Nina was moving forward, as there was footage of Willow being near Drew’s house.

Turner gave Dante the subpoenas he needed to search for more traffic light evidence against Willow. She wanted to know if he’d be okay testifying against his former sister-in-law.
