Chase and Brook Lynn meet with Alexis at her office to discuss adoption. Alexis explains that there are a lot of factors that go into adoption, and they can be very complicated. Brook Lynn admits she’s worried they could be disqualified because of her past and tells Alexis she had a baby before and gave it up for adoption.
Brook Lynn gives her the brief synopsis: the adoption was sealed, she never sought to find her baby, and they haven’t looked for her. Alexis says agencies focus on current situations, not the past, which relieves them. Alexis asks if they are leaning towards an open or closed adoption. Brook Lynn is leaning towards a closed one. They will tell their child they are adopted, but having an open adoption could be confusing for them. Alexis says she’ll reach out to some attorneys in the business to see if they have any clients looking for adoptive parents, but to know that this can take a long time.

Dante Gives Jason Something to Think About
In the Q’s kitchen, Jason asks Dante if he’s going to charge Danny with manslaughter. Dante isn’t. The detective just wants to make sure Jason understands the trouble Danny could have been in. He used to try to see both sides, but now he sees why Sam was wary of him spending time with Danny. He says Danny doesn’t need a friend. The boy needs a father. Lois enters and asks what is going on. Dante tells her that he was telling Jason that he doesn’t think much of him as a father, and walks out.
Lois tells Jason that she was with Dante when he got the call about Rocco, and he’s attacking and blaming everyone because he can’t go after Danny. Jason says Dante isn’t entirely wrong, that he missed a lot of Danny’s life, and Danny was able to sneak out because he was off with Sonny.

Willow and Sasha Spar Verbally
At the hospital, Willow enters an exam room to assist Sasha with her latest check-up. Sasha would rather have another nurse. Willow points out that she is the mother of Michael’s children, and Sasha is about to have Jason’s baby, so whether they like it or not, they are family. Willow wants them to try to start fresh.
Sasha can’t believe Willow is using her kids to patch things up when she doesn’t even act like those kids are Michael’s. When is the last time he saw them? Willow cries that she flew to Germany to see Michael, but he wouldn’t see her. She says everyone wants to paint her as the bad guy when Michael wouldn’t even see her.
Sasha notes Willow sure paid Michael back by standing by Drew at that ridiculous press conference. Willow defends Drew and states that he was drugged. Sasha says she has to believe that, as not doing so would mean she’d have to admit she destroyed her life for Drew, who is the wrong guy. Willow sees that there is no saving this relationship and will send in another nurse.
Later, Sasha returns home to the mansion and tells Jason what she learned about Willow’s trip to Germany and that Michael refused to see her.

Tracy Gets Questioned
At the Metro Court, Curtis sits with Tracy and discusses her meeting with Sidwell and Drew. He assumes she’s working with them to take down Sonny, but why does she want to take down Laura? Ned appears and joins them, and Tracy says she was explaining to Curtis that she is only working with Drew to get rid of Sonny. Curtis points out that means teaming up with Sidwell, and they know very little about him, and what they do know isn’t good. Curtis admits he has his issues with Sonny, but he has been good for Port Charles.
Curtis heads out, and Tracy can’t stand to hear one more person sing Sonny’s praises. Ned says they have better things to talk about, such as Chase and Brook Lynn meeting Alexis to discuss adoption. They talk about how it feels being a parent and a grandparent before Tracy steers the conversation back to Sonny and her efforts to oust him from this town. She asks Ned to help her with this and that, as the former mayor, and his endorsement means something.
Tracy gets a call from Lucy, rants about her pestering her, and tells Ned to make a decision: Mom or mob. Tracy walks off to deal with Lucy.
Tracy Catches Lulu Snooping

He says she missed six months of her senior year.
Ned steps away when he gets a call, and Tracy returns. She asks Lulu what she’s up to.
Willow Makes a Discovery
Back at the hospital, Curtis arrives, and Willow runs into him. She thanks him for not publishing the video of Drew and only reporting the facts. She hopes he will publish a positive story on Drew being drugged. Curtis says they will publish the facts that Drew had Ketamine in his system, but it will be unbiased, and they’ll leave the public to decide if Drew did or did not take the Ketamine. He then excuses himself.
Willow soon runs into Drew and is happy to see him, as it’s been a tough day. They hug, and Willow gets poked by something in his jacket. She asks what that was. He pulls out a small manila envelope and hands it to her. Inside is a small vial of liquid. He claims his doctor just gave it to him, and that it’s a vitamin infusion to help him get his health back on track.
Curtis heads to see Portia and tells her Willow is still standing by Drew, calling her unbelievable. He says Aurora is doing a write-up on Ketamine, and that Drew hasn’t proven he was drugged. Portia suggests he stay out of it, and he says it sounds like she’s defending Drew.
Sidwell Makes Sonny an Offer
At Sonny’s, Sidwell tells Sonny that he wants to make him an offer that will benefit them both. Sidwell explains that this esplanade referendum has turned into a vote on him. He could still lose his piers, and Jordan points out that vote would cause problems for Laura. Sidwell suggests Sonny circumvent the vote, make a buck, and sell his piers to him.
Sonny asks what if Sidwell buys his piers, and still loses them to Measure C. Sonny suddenly hunches over, and Sidwell asks if he’s okay. Jordan also notices Sonny seems unwell.
Sonny says he’s fine, he’s just bored, so let’s wrap this up. Sidwell is willing to bet that once Sonny doesn’t own the piers, the people of Port Charles will side with Laura and keep the esplanade at its current location. This results in Sonny escaping this entire political mess, and he won’t be associated with Mayor Collins, which is good for her.
Later at Alexis’s office, Suzanne tells Alexis that Sidwell is here and has no appointment. Alexis snarks that he never does. He enters, and she tells him that she never wanted the dagger. Sidwell isn’t here to discuss the dagger. He needs her firm to draw up some real estate papers for him.
Meanwhile, Jason shows up at Sonny’s and is shocked to learn that Sonny is thinking about Sidwell’s offer to sell him the piers.
On the next General Hospital, Sonny is considering Sidwell’s offer for their families, and Joss takes a meeting with Professor Dalton.
