In the Quartermaine stables, Cody and Felicia talk about his relationship, or lack of one, with Molly. He tells her about James asking if Molly was his girlfriend, and her saying she wasn’t. He thought New Year’s Eve was the start of something special, but Molly must not agree.

 

 

Cody tells her that he called them a couple, and perhaps Molly doesn’t want to rush into a new relationship. Felicia can see he cares for Molly, whom Cody admits he can’t get out of his head.

Did Molly Blow It With Cody?
Molly and Kristina meet at The Port Charles Grill bar, and Molly tells her sister how she ruined things with Cody. Molly gives her the short version: they had sex in Turner’s office on NYE, then went back to Cody’s, and she put her foot in her mouth the next morning when James asked if she was Cody’s girlfriend.

Molly regrets saying no, explaining she just blurted it out, and that she and Cody are over now. Kristina thinks she needs to clear things up with Cody right now.

Later, Molly turns up at the stables, causing Felicia to race out so she and Cody can talk. Both Cody and Molly apologize, but Molly asks to go first, and explains she panicked and would like to be his girlfriend if given the chance.

At the Quartermaines, Tracy gathers Ned, Olivia, Brook Lynn, and Chase in the living room to re-establish her father’s cocktail hour and be sociable.

Tracy shares some good news: her friend, the judge, has signed a court order requiring Drew to return their heirlooms. Olivia doesn’t know if pushing his buttons this way is a good idea and suggests they find a way to make peace. Ned blurts out, “Absolutely not! Not after he…”

Everyone pushes Ned to tell them what he’s not saying, and he relays the confrontation with Drew over the valuables right before his heart attack. He says Drew thought he was faking it and walked away. Tracy yells, “He left you to die!”

In the sunroom, Michael and Jacinda talk to Wiley, who had fun playing video games with Gio. Jacinda turns out to be a gamer, and Wiley makes a date with her next week to play games. Michael then takes the boy to bed.

Michael returns later and tells Jacinda not to feel obligated to play games with Wiley. She says she likes spending time with his kids. Michael suggests they split, as he’s trying to avoid getting sucked into Tracy’s family cocktail hour.

Michael and Jacinda head to The Grill and run into Kristina, who was on her way out. They invite her to join them for a drink and grab a table. Wiley calls, so Michael excuses himself. Jacinda then apologizes to Kristina for not leaving, but Kristina is sorry for trying to buy her off. She hopes Jacinda stays in town for her brother’s sake.

Michael soon returns, and Kristina brings up the trial. She asks if her brother is worried that he could be charged with murder if Willow is acquitted.

Drew Gets Bad News
Drew and Willow return home, and Drew vents about how humiliated he is after Carly threw his drink in his face. Drew strips off his shirt, and she insists on washing it when he tries to get freaky, claiming she doesn’t want the stain to set in. She’s clearly avoiding his touch.

Nina shows up, and Willow hands Drew a clean shirt to put on. Nina wanted to check in with Willow to see how she’s feeling after taking the stand.

They are interrupted when Martin shows up with a court order for Drew to return the Quartermaine heirlooms. He refuses to budge, and he and Martin leave to confront Tracy.

Once he’s gone, Nina blurts out, “I never thought he’d leave.” She apologizes, but Willow feels the same. Nina believes Michael clearly shot Drew and tried to frame her innocent daughter. Willow admits she almost had a panic attack on the stand, and Nina says she was so proud of her for standing up for herself.

Nina asks whether she thinks Drew paid off the judge during the custody hearing, but Willow says Drew believes Michael did and framed him. Nina pushes Willow to dump Drew, as she doesn’t need his help getting custody once she is exonerated and Michael is taken away for attempted murder.

Will Alexis Believe Kai and Trina?
In Alexis’ office, Trina and Kai ask Alexis if they can keep this confidential. Alexis says she won’t reveal anything unless they tell her to and asks who they think shot Drew. They tell her Willow, and they were there that night.

Trina explains they were there to find the evidence Drew had against her mom; they hid in the bedroom when Drew came home, and that’s when they heard the gunshots. They admit they didn’t see Willow but heard her ringtone. They connect all the dots for Alexis using the evidence Justine presented against Willow.
