Gio showed Emma the little instruments that he’d gotten for baby Phoebe. He told her what it was like growing up with a large family and all the baby showers he attended, so he knew how to buy gifts for them.

Gio laughed, recalling how one time, as a joke, he bought a little Eagles jersey for a baby in a Giant’s household, and how his uncle nearly threw him out over it.

Ric Breaks The News To Alexis

When Ric arrived at Alexis’ house, she wasn’t going ot let him in, but he said he was there on Sonny’s orders to talk to her.

After some friendly banter about being held captive in Alexis’ basement, Ric dropped the bomb that Danny wanted to join the mob.

Ric helped Alexis breathe and sit down when she reacted to the news. He told her everything he knew and empathized with her about the situation.

Ric told Alexis that she could handle it and said he believed in her. Danny came home as Ric was getting ready to leave. He said he was cleaning the basement and showed them the ball gag he found, asking what it was. Ric looked at Alexis, bemused, waiting for her response.

Alexis told Ric to leave, then said to Danny that they needed to talk. He knew right away that Ric had told her about his talk with Sonny.

Justine and Sonny Can’t Stop

Justine met Sonny and told him about Jordan’s accident and that Sidwell was blaming him for it. Sonny was offended when Justine asked if he did it, but she said she knew he wasn’t responsible.

However, he said he would have felt better if she had just believed him, and her opinion wasn’t based on the facts around the accident.

Justine wondered if there was a way for Sonny to protect himself without involving violence.

Sonny teased that it sounded like Justine cared what happened to him. He noted they were next to the bed where they had made love, and their flirting soon began. 

Justine said there were many reasons she shouldn’t stay, but in that moment, she couldn’t think of one. Sonny and Justine began kissing.

Willow Sets Up Nina

At Drew’s, Willow told him she wasn’t happy about what she was about to do to Nina, but she couldn’t risk losing the kids. She said she needed to ensure that she could rely on Nina to help her and silenced her phone.

When Nina got there, Willow told her about helping Chase and Brook Lynn with their adoption. Nina noted that Willow must regret letting Chase get away.

Willow admitted that she made a mistake having an affair with Michael, and that at the time, it was all about being able to be Wiley’s mom. 

Willow faked getting a call from the lady at CPS about Chase’s adoption and hurriedly asked Nina to give Drew his medication for her.

When Willow returned, she had Nina drop the needle into a “disposal bag” and took the baggie with her when she returned Drew to his room.

Willow returned to the living room, and Nina told her about her conversation with Brennan. “I may despise Carly, but we agree on one thing: our children come first,” Willow said.

Nina agreed, adding that she hoped Brennan would keep the misleading footage to himself after her threats. “It’s not misleading, it’s proof,” Willow told her, tearfully.

“Proof of what?” Nina asked. “That I got in my car, drove over here, and shot Drew in the back,” Willow cried.

Isaiah And Lucas Get Awkward

When Isaiah was in Jordan’s ICU room, Lucas mentioned that it would have been great if he’d been assisting during Jordan’s operation. “Probably good that I wasn’t, because I’m not sure I could’ve handled that,” Isaiah admitted.

Lucas was surprised to learn that Isaiah and Jordan used to be together. He was rattled when he heard how Sidwell had put a hit on him, but Jordan saved him.

It got awkward when Lucas told Isaiah that Marco was nothing like his father. He didn’t want to talk about it, and they agreed to just pass on the whole topic.

Jordan Wakes Up

Curtis saw Stella, who told him that he’d be able to see Jordan as soon as they had her settled in the ICU. Stella took Curtis aside and told him that she wasn’t always supportive of their relationship, but she wanted to support him and Jordan now.

Curtis credited Stella for being helpful to Jordan to take the pregnancy test, and said that it led to a conversation about how it would put a strain on her one kidney. “As the accident probably has,” he added.

Just then, Lucas came out with an update: her vitals were good, including her kidney. 

Curtis was allowed to sit with her, so Stella rushed him off. When Curtis got to the room, he sat next to her and told her how much he loved her. As he told her how Stella told him to believe that she would be okay, Jordan woke up.

The Quartermaines Unite, Pretty Much

At Q mansion, Ned and Olivia came home from a run, and Ned told Brook Lynn that he was excited about having a baby in the house again. Brook Lynn happily agreed, and they hugged.

When Tracey arrived, it didn’t take long for everyone to start squabbling because she brought up how Wiley asked about hookers, and blamed it on Olivia, who then finger-pointed at Michael.

Brook Lynn had told them all to knock it off just before the doorbell rang. They all rushed to the foyer, and Brook Lynn was almost just as excited when she realized it wasn’t Phoebe — it was Gio and Emma there to be part of it all.

Baby Phoebe Arrives

Moments later, the social worker arrived with Phoebe. “Special delivery,” she said to the happy group. 

“Welcome home for now, baby Phoebe,” Chase said. They all gathered in the living room to talk to the little cutie pie.

After, they all did a toast with champagne. In a private moment, Brook Lynn told Gio she wished she’d been able to hold him when he was that tiny. “We might not be able to go back in time, but I gotta say, where we are right now is pretty great,” he told her.

As they stood around talking about the open night mic, Michael mentioned that Jordan had gotten into an accident on the 91. Brook Lynn suddenly had a flashback to driving her car and nearly getting in an accident.
