Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) took a risky step by trying to gather intel on Cyrus (Jeff Kober) from one of his former associates. Overhearing the conversation, Josslyn (Eden McCoy) filled Lucky in on Cyrus’ bell-ringing activity, which led to a shocking realization—the former drug lord was likely behind the recent deaths at GH. Meanwhile, Josslyn pushed Anna (Finola Hughes) to arrest Cyrus for Dex’s (ex-Evan Hofer) stabbing.

Lucky and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) had dinner at the Port Charles Grille, hoping to get more information on Cyrus, but their plans were interrupted when Anna brought him in for questioning about Dex’s stabbing.

Meanwhile, Sonny tried to convince Tracy to let Willow have custody of the children, but Tracy’s refusal to budge led to an emotional confrontation. Jason (Steve Burton) joined in but was unable to sway Tracy. In the aftermath, Sonny experienced another episode of atrial fibrillation and left in a hurry.
As Carly scrambled to secure a treatment plan for Michael, she learned that the clinic where Ava (Maura West) was treated had been closed down. However, one of the doctors had relocated to a hospital in Germany, and Carly urged him to assist in Michael’s care.

Later, Dante confided in Cody (Josh Kelly) about his complicated feelings toward Lulu, but their conversation was interrupted by a surprise visit from Selina (Lydia Look), adding another layer of mystery to the ongoing power struggles in Port Charles.
Meanwhile, Carly confronted Tracy at the Q mansion over the custody dispute. Tracy didn’t hold back, blaming Carly for tearing the family apart.

She turned to Chase (Josh Swickard) for support, and he urged her to talk to Carly about their strained relationship.

The week came to a head when Drew and Cody clashed at the Port Charles Grille, with Jordan (Tanisha Harper) stepping in to defuse the tension. Drew later faced a confrontation with Tracy, who refused to let Willow have custody of the children. As tensions escalated, Drew and Martin (Michael E. Knight) brought a court order demanding that the children be released to Willow’s care. When Tracy resisted, Drew had her arrested, marking a dramatic shift in the family dynamics.
In other developments, Ava’s gallery became the setting for a surprising encounter with Sidwell (Carlo Rota), who bought some of her artwork for his new home. However, Ric (Rick Hearst) took Ava’s check with a lingering bitterness, still waiting to be paid for his legal services.
As the week ended, Carly and Sonny faced a heartbreaking decision about Michael’s future.
