At the church, Natalia walks in and sits in the back pew. Sonny tells Carly that he’ll handle it, saunters over, and tells Natalia that they should speak outside. Natalia agrees, and they exit.
Sasha enters the church with Daisy, accompanied by Joss, Amelia, and Wiley. As everyone waits for Sonny to return, Wiley asks if they are waiting for mommy, but Michael says she’s not coming today.
Brook Lynn pulls Chase aside and asks him if he knows why Natalia is here and why he clammed up when she told him about the dirty investment. Chase can’t discuss this with her.
Outside the church, Sonny tells Natalia that she can’t be here. She thought he was supposed to be on a plane with her to Belize. He explains that he is setting her up with a new life and will monitor her safety, but his life is here, and he’s sorry for the confusion.
Sonny says he’s set her up with everything she needs. She cries, “Except friends and family.” Natalia breaks down in tears, and Kristina comes out to tell her dad that the service is about to start. Sonny asks his man to take Natalia to her hotel and make sure that she gets on that flight. Natalia tells Sonny, “May you and your whole family get every blessing you deserve!”
The Christening Carries On
Sonny returns to the church, the service begins, and Mac finally arrives. Sasha reveals that their child’s full name is Daisy Celeste, and the father baptizes her. The family all gathers for a photo.
After, Michael invites everyone back to the Quartermaine mansion, and the family begins to disperse. Carly checks in with Sonny about Natalia, and Kristina does the same with Jason. Both men say Natalia’s been handled.
Brook Lynn catches Chase in a hallway, calling Turner to report that Natalia just showed up at Sonny’s granddaughter’s christening and then left. Brook Lynn wonders what her husband just did. He says he was on a work call, and she shouldn’t have listened in. He reminds her that his work could involve people she knows, and they agreed not to let it impact them and set boundaries. She just needs to know if something is going on with Sonny and Natalia. Frustrated, Chase says he can’t talk about this! She says she loves him, and he loves her too. They kiss, and he heads off to the station.
A Romantic Dinner
At Carly’s, Lucas and Marcus decide to cook a meal together. Lucas bought all the ingredients, but lost the recipe he found online, so Marco suggests they improvise. Lucas admits he’s not a good cook. He doesn’t cook at all; he heats things up. Marco knows how to cook, and it’s something he used to do with his mom until things fell apart between them. Marco manages to save the meal, and over dinner, they share a kiss.
Portia Plays Jordan and Curtis
At Aurora, Portia and Curtis are getting frisky in his office when Jordan walks in. She is stunned, apologizes, and walks out. Curtis realizes Portia set that up. She admits, “I sure as hell did!”
Curtis thought she was done with the schemes and lies. Portia wonders if he’s upset because of her plot, or that Jordan saw him kissing the woman he’s married to.
Curtis wonders if any of that was real or if it was all a setup and for show. Portia says everything she shared with him was real, and Jordan needed to see them together. She tells Curtis that Jordan wants him back, and she needs to know it won’t happen now or ever.
Curtis tells Portia that whatever she’s feeling about him and Jordan, it’s all in her head. Portia doesn’t think so, and she’s seen how they have been sneaking off and having private conversations. Curtis tells her those conversations were about her being blackmailed by Drew, and her guilt is driving this narrative. Portia says they are struggling, Jordan sees it, and she’s trying to exploit his vulnerability. Curtis notes that doesn’t sound like Jordan, it sounds like Portia.
Portia insists that if he thinks she exploited the cracks in his marriage to Jordan, he should tell her. Curtis says he doesn’t blame the end of his marriage on her, but he’s not sure about her actions now. Portia did what she did to save their marriage, but Curtis tells her that she’s destroying them!
Curtis tells Portia these lies and stunts of hers are only pulling them apart. No matter what he does to ensure her and Trina’s safety, she still doesn’t trust him. Portia says, “Lord knows Jordan never lied.” Curtis counters that Jordan lied about her work, not having his child, or being blackmailed by his enemy. Curtis tells her that Jordan isn’t the real problem; the two of them are.
Anna Clashes With Turner and Advises Jordan
In Anna’s office, she warns Turner that Sonny is smart and strategic. Turner says Anna is as well, so either Sonny has been one step ahead of her this whole time, or she has been looking the other way. Anna says they are on the same side, but if she wants to tank her career trying to take down Sonny, well, she won’t be the first. Anna tells her that she can work with her or not.
Anna tells Turner that she hasn’t crossed the line yet, but cherry picking her officers for investigations that she’s kept out of the loop about is something she won’t let stand. She warns her to be careful about how she proceeds.
Jordan busts in, says she is sorry, and didn’t know Anna was in a meeting. Anna says the acting DA was just leaving.
Turner leaves, and Anna asks if Jordan saw Curtis. Jordan says she did, with Portia on his desk, going at it. She thinks she played right into Portia’s hands, and yells, “The bitch set me up!” Whatever her feelings for Curtis are, she won’t be responsible for ruining his marriage. However, Portia’s games may.
Jordan tells Anna that her feelings for Curtis are complicated, and she doesn’t want them bound up with Portia’s mess. She hopes Curtis can find the peace he wants, and it’s hard to see him reconciling with Portia, given her lies. Anna says that it is Curtis’ decision, and she needs to find a way to move forward. Anna asks what she needs.

After her shower, Natalia begins packing, but pops more pills with some booze. She begins thinking about her argument with Sidwell over their son, and her blaming him for turning Marco against her. She thinks about Sonny’s promise to give her a comfortable life in a beautiful area, but his life is in Port Charles. Then she recalls Marco telling her that if she walks out and leaves the country that she’ll be nothing to him. She begins to text someone.
Back at Carly’s, Marco and Lucas clean up after their dinner. They begin making out heavily when his phone begins to chime. Marco says it’s his mom, and it is gibberish, so she’s probably drunk. He says when she drinks, her texts turn into a word salad thanks to autocorrect. Lucas notes the timing is odd if she’s supposed to be leaving town.
Lucas looks at Marco’s phone and tries to decipher what Natalia is saying. Marco says she’ll leave him a message in the morning apologizing, but Lucas says she’s leaving the country. Lucas says his mom is reaching out, and this may be the last chance he gets to reach back.
Back in her room, Natalia looks at her phone and sees that Marco has read her word salad but hasn’t replied. Sonny’s man bangs on the door and says they have to go. She calls back that she’s almost ready. She tries to text Marco that she’s sorry, but it gets jumbled up because of her state.
