A Quiet Night Turns into Secrets and Tension
It was supposed to be a calm evening, but Port Charles was full of surprises. Sonny met Justine at a hatchet-throwing range. He rented the place for the night so no one could see them together. While Justine struggled with throwing hatchets, Sonny cooked his famous lasagna.
Justine admitted it was the best meal she ever had, but their talk soon turned serious. Sonny warned her to stay away from Willow’s trial. He said if she went after Willow, Drew would make her life hard. Justine refused to back down, saying this case could make her career.

Tracy Faces the Family
At the Quartermaine mansion, Tracy had a tense talk with Gio. She explained what happened with Ronnie and the will that caused her to kick the family out. Gio tried to make her see that Monica might have trusted her to keep the family together.

Tracy laughed at the idea, saying she was too harsh to lead anyone. But Gio stood firm, reminding her that family needs forgiveness, not power. He told her she was the real head of the family now — and it was time she acted like it.
Remembering Sam
Over at Alexis’ home, Molly and Kristina tried to cheer up little Scout, who was missing her mom, Sam. They decided to watch Hocus Pocus together. Molly left for a bit, leaving Kristina to share warm memories about Sam.

Kristina told Scout that her mother’s love was always around them. Scout smiled and said she felt closer to her mom when they laughed together.
Nathan and James Reconnect
At Bobbie’s Diner, Felicia and Spinelli took young James trick-or-treating and brought him to see his dad, Nathan. Dressed as a cowboy, James proudly showed off his candy.

Nathan could see how much James adored Cody, which made him feel a bit left out. But Felicia comforted him, saying love takes time to grow. Nathan promised he would be patient and focus on getting to know his son better.
A Gentle Gesture from Cody
Later, Cody helped Molly carry cupcakes to her car. He insisted on helping even when she said she could manage.

Cody told Molly he just wanted Nathan and James to have time together. Molly smiled, touched by his kindness.
Alexis and Danny Share Memories
Danny visited his grandmother Alexis, saying he missed his mom too. He was worried he wasn’t keeping his promise to look after Scout.

Alexis comforted him, reminding him that Sam’s spirit lives on in him and his sister. They shared a hug, and Danny felt a little lighter.
Anna Faces a Nightmare
At the police station, Anna asked Jason for help. She feared that Faison might still be alive. Jason assured her that he had seen Faison die, but Anna couldn’t shake the feeling that something dark was coming.

Later that night, Anna got into her car and tried calling Jack. Suddenly, someone grabbed her from behind and chloroformed her.

Love, Loss, and Hope
Back at Bobbie’s, the family gathered to celebrate Maxie’s birthday. James blew out the candle and wished his mom could be there. Cody watched from outside, his heart heavy but full of hope.

Meanwhile, Alexis and Scout shared candy in Sam’s memory. At the mansion, Tracy finally admitted Gio was right — family was everything.
As the episode ended, Anna woke up tied to a chair in a dark room. A voice that sounded like Faison said, “You’re on your way to a new life.” Anna screamed for help — and the screen faded to black.
