Gio, devastated after recent revelations, rushes to leave the Quartermaine estate with Tracy and Emma. Tracy tries to welcome him into the family, revealing that she's his great-grandmother. Gio, feeling betrayed and overwhelmed, wants nothing to do with the family of liars and storms out.

Brook Lynn and Lois have a confrontation, with Lois revealing her plan to have the adoption closed. Brook Lynn no longer trusts her mother or grandmother. Their confrontation intensifies when Gloria arrives and challenges Brook Lynn, escalating family tensions.

Dante gets Brook Lynn to confirm he is Gio’s father. She explains why she kept it from him, but he’s hurt and frustrated. He insists they now need to focus on their son.

Brook Lynn, Dante, and Gio meet at the Quartermaine mansion. Brook Lynn tries to explain her reasons for the adoption, but Gio sees it as abandonment. He refuses to listen and runs off with Emma.

Later, Brook Lynn and Dante open up to each other. Tracy reminds them they at least got to meet Gio. Brook Lynn shares her reasons for the adoption, and Dante is devastated—not only by the choice but also by the fact that Chase, his best friend, knew and kept it from him.

Gio and Emma go to the bridge, where Emma often reflects. Gio explains how he learned the truth about his parents and why he destroyed his violin—it symbolized a lie. His mother, Camila, was a virtuoso violinist, and he believed he inherited her talent. Now he doesn’t know what to believe. Gio is hurt that his father is the same man who once said he hated him. He and Emma run away and spend the night in a motel. Gio later decides to return to Port Charles to find the truth.

Later, Willow tells Drew about Michael’s custody ultimatum—cut off all contact with Drew or lose the kids. Drew manipulates her into believing Michael is acting out of revenge. Willow removes her wedding ring—Lila Quartermaine’s ring—and Drew claims it, saying it rightfully belongs to his family.

Willow pleads with Michael not to take the kids away. Michael remains firm: if she stays with Drew, he will pursue full custody. The only way she can keep her children is to cut Drew off entirely.

Tracy, Olivia, and Ned sit on the stairs discussing Gio’s impact. Olivia says Gio connected the Quartermaines and Corinthos families. Tracy is horrified and more determined than ever to drive Sonny out of town. She confesses to Ned that she knew about Brook Lynn’s pregnancy but kept it secret. Ned is furious and feels completely shut out.

Liz talks to Laura about her love for Lucky, fearing it won’t be enough to make him stay. Laura believes Lucky still loves her and urges her to talk to him. Later, Lucky returns with new information about Liz’s accident.

Laura tells Alexis that Ace’s trust fund is missing money. Alexis is shocked.

Portia and Curtis meet to discuss Drew’s blackmail. They realize Drew planted evidence to frame Tracy and that he knows Portia drugged him. Curtis says they need Jacinda’s help to protect themselves.
