Keep on reading for all the details.
Give Peace A Chance
Portia told Isaiah she was nervous about her ultrasound appointment because she hadn’t spoken with Curtis since she’d confronted Jordan with her suspicion that the other woman was pregnant. Once Curtis arrived, he asked to speak with Portia privately, and she assumed he was angry about the altercation at the nail salon. Instead, he asked if she wanted to find out the baby’s sex, but she said she wasn’t ready for that yet. After an awkward moment, Portia said she wanted to clear the air about what happened with Jordan and confided that she was ready to leave the past behind and move forward. Curtis appreciated her willingness to make peace with Jordan, and said he’d do his best to accept Isaiah’s place in Portia’s life as well. A nurse then called Portia and Curtis in for their appointment. Later, Portia reported to Isaiah that everything was going great with the baby, and she and Curtis had had a productive conversation. She commended Curtis for the efforts he’s been making with her for the baby, and Isaiah hoped Curtis was sincere.
A Hero Lies Within
Felicia and James met Nathan at Bobbie’s for breakfast. While James went to say hi to Coach Kai across the diner, Felicia told Nathan that since Maxie had accepted him and Lulu exploring a relationship, she could as well. She also complimented Nathan on the bond he’s created with James, even though he’s only been around for six months, and how much James admires him. Nathan replied that being James’s father has been an incredible gift, but he had reservations that he’d eventually let the kid down. Felicia assured him that it would inevitably happen, not because he was a bad parent, but because he was human, but not to let it crush him when that day came.
Across the room, Trina surprised Kai and James with her knowledge of baseball, and they convinced her to be the team’s assistant coach. Returning to his dad and grandmother’s table, James excitedly shared that Trina would be coaching, but then asked his dad if he wanted to coach. Nathan chuckled that he was too rusty and suggested that he and James go to the batting cages after breakfast. But as he pulled out his phone to reserve a cage, Nathan got a text about work, telling James that he needed a rain check. “Do you have to go fight the bad guys?” James asked. “Yeah, one in particular. I’m not looking forward to it,” Nathan replied. Later, James informed Felicia that when he grew up, he wanted to be a hero, just like his father.
Ring Bearer
Willow gave Drew another injection and told him that she and Sidwell would bring him out of his locked-in state once the timing was right. Drew flashed back to Sidwell telling him that Willow’s political career would skyrocket once she became a widow. Chase stopped by and told Willow how he and Brook Lynn were hoping to foster baby Phoebe, but their visit with the social worker had gone sideways when Wiley asked what a “hooker” was. Willow praised Chase for how he and Brook Lynn handled the situation with Wiley, and he then asked his ex to put in a good word for them. She agreed to do whatever she could to help them become Phoebe’s foster parents, especially since Chase put his career on the line for her. Expressing his thanks, Chase hugged Willow… and she ran her hand down his back.
After Chase left, Willow phoned Kai to come to the house. He arrived with Trina, and Willow was touched that Trina had brought a gift for Drew, considering what he’d done to her parents. Trina replied that her feelings for Drew were complicated, but he didn’t deserve to get shot. Willow then brought Trina and Kai into the bedroom to see Drew, and Kai suggested the office sponsor a team for this year’s softball league. Thinking that was a great idea, Willow commented on how much Drew loved playing last year, and joked that she practically tripped over the softball bat every day. Kai then asked whether the PCPD had ever given back the bat after it was taken as evidence, prompting Willow to realize it had not been returned.
The group then heard the “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” ringtone — the same one they heard while hiding in Drew’s bedroom the night Willow shot him — coming from another room and Trina said that it sounded like Wiley was calling. “That is his ringtone,” murmured Willow as she looked around for her phone. Kai said the phone was probably in the living room and exchanged a pointed look with Trina. As Drew recalled hearing the same ringtone the night he was shot, Willow walked Trina and Kai out. She spotted her phone on the ledge by the front door, and Kai said, “Yeah, the sound carries all the way from here to the bedroom,” quickly realizing he may have said too much. Once alone, Willow seemed unsettled as she glanced down at her phone.
Deal With The Devil
In the Quartermaine kitchen, Brook Lynn gave Michael the cold shoulder, then huffed that his bright idea that Willow could help them with Phoebe’s foster placement had sent Chase running to his ex. They’d worked through the friction in their marriage caused by Chase’s determination to prove Willow was innocent of shooting Drew, Brook Lynn explained, and now she was worried that he’d get sucked back into Willow’s drama. Understanding his cousin’s concern, Michael divulged that he still feared that Willow would unintentionally hurt their kids, but for the most part, he bites his tongue and hopes for the best for the sake of the greater good. Michael encouraged Brook Lynn to do the same by letting Willow help them with the foster placement.
Chase returned home and happily shared with his wife that Willow was going to put in a good word for them. When she confided that she was afraid to get her hopes up, Chase hugged Brook Lynn and assured her that Willow would help them get what they wanted.
Meanwhile, Michael and his son were out on the terrace, looking for spiders for Wiley’s homework project. They decided to go to the park to look for spiders, then fly Wiley’s kite. When Wiley asked if his mother could go too, Michael told his son to invite her to join them, but Willow didn’t answer the phone. When Michael said he was sorry, Wiley asked if his dad really meant that, since he and Willow fought all the time. Michael assured his son that he and Willow could hang out sometimes because they loved him and Amelia, and suggested they make plans to go to the park with his mom next week.

Jordan visited Jenz to pay her sympathies over the loss of his son. Looking at a photo of Marco as a young boy, he told her how his messy divorce meant he hadn’t been around during Marco’s childhood, but they had grown closer after his son came out and was rejected by his mother. Jenz then asked Jordan to use her contacts with the PCPD to find out what the department knew about Marco’s murder, convinced that Commissioner Falconeri would cover up his father Sonny’s involvement. Jordan insisted that Dante could be trusted, but Sidwell announced that he only trusted what he paid for. “I hope you’re not referring to me,” an offended Jordan declared. Jenz then instructed her to exploit her sources to glean any information about the investigation, shouting that nothing was more important to him than having Sonny pay for Marco’s murder. When Jordan sighed that she’d make some inquiries, Jenz insinuated that she’d lose the comfortable life she’d created for herself while working for him if she didn’t come through.
Jordan then headed to Bobbie’s to meet Curtis. Outside the diner, she was leaving a voicemail for one of her contacts just as her beau arrived. Curtis questioned why she was leaving a message for gossipy Joanne from the forensics department, so Jordan explained that she’d been ordered by Sidwell to keep tabs on the PCPD or she’d be out of a job. Pointing out that she’d only taken the job to spy on Sidwell to begin with, Curtis suggested it might be time for Jordan to quit. Jordan replied that Sidwell being distracted while he grieved his son’s death might be the opportunity she needed to gather the evidence she needed to put him behind bars.
The Great Pretender
Back at Wyndemere, Jenz was gazing at the photo of Marco again when Nathan entered the study. Nathan offered his condolences, and Jenz declared that he didn’t need his phony sympathy, he needed results. Next, Jenz revealed that he’d ordered Jordan to keep him up to date on the investigation into Marco’s murder and instructed Nathan to make sure that Sonny paid by any means necessary. When Nathan replied that he wasn’t sure that was something he would do, Sidwell shut the door to his study and stated, “Well, that is not something that Detective Nathan West would do. But I’m not talking to Nathan West right now. I’m talking to Cassius Faison.”
