Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) flirted with a hunky mystery man (Wil Traval). They decided not to exchange names or numbers but to hook up. Britt gave him the nickname “cracker jack” after kissing him, and he called her “stunner” before they left the Brown Dog. Sonny (Maurice Benard) was surprised when Anna (Finola Hughes) visited him. Sonny opened up to Anna about some of his loved ones not believing his innocence in Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Sidwell’s (Carlo Rotta) attack. Anna understood what that was like because of her kidnapping and time in France. Sonny was vulnerable with Anna about his feelings, sharing that he was impressed by how she came through it all. Anna hoped his truth would soon be discovered by his loved ones. Trina (Tabyana Ali) was shaken when Quinn (Jequan Jackson) took her phone and said she couldn’t leave. Quinn insisted it wasn’t what she thought. Soon Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) arrived. Kai explained that Quinn was helping him surprise Trina. Later, Kai and Trina talked about moving in together. Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) showed up at Josslyn’s (Eden McCoy) with an offer to take the piers off her hands. Josslyn shut him down. Valentin warned Josslyn that she would harm Carly (Laura Wright), Donna (Scarlett Spears), and Avery in her quest to destroy Sonny. Josslyn insisted it would be fine. Valentin told her to think about his offer before it was too late. When he left, flowers were waiting for Trina from her biggest fan. Carly had a heart-to-heart with Lucas (Van Hansis) about Valentin. Lucas worried about Carly pushing Valentin to help Anna. Carly explained she would never chase another man after Sonny betrayed her with Nina (Cynthia Watros). Lucas encouraged Carly to fight for his relationship, especially since she had her groove back with Valentin. Jason (Steve Burton) called out Serena (Kelly Kruger) for trying to manipulate him into signing over Michael’s (Rory Gibson) Deception shares to Lucy (Lynn Herring). Serena defended her actions. Jason threatened to tell Tracy (Jane Elliot). Serena shared that Lucy just wanted creative control back. Jason agreed not to expose Serena unless he was asked.

Justine (Nazneen Contractor) summoned Drew (Cameron Mathison) to her office. Drew was intrigued when she asked him to help her put Sonny in prison. Justine planned to use a cold case against Sonny with intel from Drew to land Sonny behind bars. Drew was skeptical, but after Justine promised him immunity, he agreed. Jason met with Sonny. They discussed a missing Vito (Peter Allas). Sonny mentioned that Justine planned to go after him even though he was innocent. Jason suggested digging up dirt on Justine, but then Sonny revealed their romantic relationship to him. After he heard the whole story, Jason promised to leave Justine alone. Sonny insisted that Justine needed to know he never betrayed her. Monet (Blythe Howard) informed Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) that Jordan (Tanisha Harper) was her sister. She also explained her reason for approaching and appealing Curtis’ case. Alexis advised Monet not to depend on Drew for anything. Then Alexis rushed off to see a client. Valentin was surprised Carly showed up at his place. Carly spilled all her feelings to him. Valentin promised never to take her for granted after he realized everything Sonny put her through. Alexis arrived and told Valentin a mystery buyer had purchased Spoon Island. Valentin was determined to get it back. Monet showed up at Portia’s (Brook Kerr) with a half-naked Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) answering the door. She introduced herself and asked Portia to give an interview on Curtis’ behalf, using the angle that he was the father of her kids. Monet took a dig at Jordan, taking whatever she wanted, including Curtis, and got Portia’s attention. Iasiah reminded Monet that Curtis was guilty of assaulting him. Portia agreed to help. Alone, Portia told Isaiah she agreed to help Curtis to give them an upper hand in dealing with Curtis. Britt and the mystery man went to his Metro Court room. They hooked up more than once without getting names. Britt got freaked out when the man said he could get used to being with her.

Britt and the mystery man had breakfast after their hook-up. He tried to make small talk, mentioning her working at the hospital, but Britt shut him down. They said goodbye. Alone, he called the front desk to extend his stay as he looked at a drawer with a gun and a watch. Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst), Felicia (Kristina Wagner), and Stella (Vernee Watson-Johnson) met to discuss Britt’s bad behavior. Stella was fed up with Britt, while Elizabeth tried to defend her. The three women agreed they needed to talk to Brit. In a good mood after her hook-up, Britt apologized to Elizabeth and bought doughnuts for the entire hospital. When meeting with Stella, Britt acknowledged all her bad behavior and promised to treat the staff better with Stella’s help. Stella was shocked. Anna informed Valentin she had changed her mind about doing therapy with him. She explained her therapist thought she needed someone from her early days in the WSB to be in a session. Anna didn’t want her or Valentin to revisit that past. Valentin admitted he didn’t either, but thought it would be good for them. A crying Anna finally agreed as she took his hand. Molly (Kristen Vaganos) informed Alexis that she had received a job offer from a law firm in Chicago. Alexis encouraged Molly to take it. Molly worried about leaving Alexis, Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski), and Cody (Josh Kelly). Alexis thought Cody would move with Molly and suggested she talk to Cody soon. At the Quartermaine estate, Cody and Tracy sparred over his Thanksgiving Day off request. Tracy eventually gave in to Cody after he discussed Molly’s family and his family spending the holiday together. Jason met with Lucy (Lynn Herring) and Serena at the Deception offices. Lucy tried to lie her way out of the situation and blamed the paperwork mix-up on Serena. Jason called her out. Lucy wondered when Tracy would go on the attack. Jason promised not to tell Tracy what Lucy did unless she asked him. When he left, Lucy wanted Serena to find a new plan. Serena balked at the idea. Jason found Tracy in the Quartermaine stables. Tacy asked him about Deception and warned Lucy would make a move soon. Jason was silent, so Tracy asked if Lucy had tried to take control of Deception.

Ava (Maura West) caught up with Trina, who told her about Kai and Quinn’s surprise the night before. Trina admitted it freaked her out. Later, Emma (Braedyn Bruner) showed up with information for Trina about the flowers sent to her apartment. The flowers were sent by Alan Smith, which was a fake name. Emma and Trina searched the internet for clues. They stumbled upon a fan account with a photo collage of Trina and a heading that read “From Your Biggest Fan.” Molly informed Cody of her job offer in Chicago. Cody encouraged her to take. Molly worried about what that meant for them. Cody explained he would go with her. They discussed the impact of moving. Molly decided to turn down the job. A giddy Britt filled Lucas in on her hot night with the mystery Australian man. Lucas was intrigued. Bitt also apologized for her “britchy” behavior. Lucas listened as Britt insisted her experience was a wake-up call. Britt announced, “Britch is dead.” In Germany, Jordan and Michael waited at the clinic for her to see a doctor. Michael calmed down a nervous Jordan. They talked about enjoying Germany. Jordan assured him she was prepared for whatever the doctor told her. Then she went alone and spoke to the doctor. Jordan came back and revealed to Michael that she was having the surgery. Michael offered to stay in Germany with her. Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) hired Ric as her divorce attorney. Ric balked when she wanted to throw out the prenup. Brook Lynn insisted she wanted a civilized divorce, but Ric declared they were playing hardball because that’s what Chase’s (Josh Swickard) attorney was telling him. Ric was right. Monet advised Chase to make all the demands, such as alimony, child support, and more. Chase disagreed with the tactic until he saw Brook Lynn walk in with Ric. Alone with Monet, Chase called Ric a shark. Ric and Monet took over the meeting, making ridiculous demands on their client’s behalf, as Chase and Brook Lynn sat back. Suddenly, Brook Lynn announced, “I’m not doing this.” Joe (Jonathan Bennett) questioned Ava about Jack’s disappearance, noting she was the last person Jack was seen with. Ava deflected by saying she and Jack had talked about Nina. Joe pushed her more for answers. Ava warned him the WSB may not like his messing with their investigation, but his questions rattled her.

Elizabeth informed Dante that Aiden (Colin Cassidy) was accepted to pastry school in Paris. Dante learned Aiden had taken his GED without Elizabeth or Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) knowing about it. Elizabeth worried about letting him go to Paris. Dante reminded her that Aiden was following his dream and shared how Olivia (Lisa LoCicero) supported him when he was Aiden’s age. Elizabeth felt better. She rambled about having to make cupcakes for the hospital’s Halloween party now that Aiden was leaving town. Dante offered to help, putting a smile on her face. Fed up with their lawyers, Brook Lynn and Chase hopped a flight to the Dominican Republic for a quick divorce. There, the judge wondered if they really wanted a divorce when they spoke so lovingly about each other. At the Port Charles Grill, Sonny, Jason, and Ric talked about JJE and Josslyn. Ric thought Josslyn set up Sonny for the attack on Sidwell and Curtis, but Jason and Sonny didn’t believe it was her. Lulu arrived to talk strategy with Ric. Alone, Sonny asked Jason to talk to Josslyn about the attack. Hudson got a message that Sonny wanted to meet. Josslyn insisted she go instead, but Hudson stood his ground. Jason asked Josslyn if she was behind the Pentonville attacks. Josslyn said no, but got frustrated when Jason said he believed her and believed Sonny was innocent. Sonny offered to pay Hudson to stay on at JJE to make sure Josslyn didn’t ruin the company. Hudson realized keeping Josslyn focused on JJE and off Sonny was a win for them both. Sonny declared Hudson would take the amount Sonny offered, or he was a fool. Monet grilled Willow about her history with Alexis. Willow blamed Drew and lied about why Alexis had an issue with her. Lulu and Ric showed up at Miller and Davis. Ric and Monet sparred again as Ric pressured Willow to back off and Monet insisted they had evidence on their side. Willow refused to back down. Lulu refused to recant the article. Willow insisted the Q’s put Lulu up to the article to take her kids, while Lulu declared she simply exposed a corrupt woman. Nothing was resolved, so the foursome decided to head to trial, which could cost Lulu $5 million. Ava summoned Drew to request they move Jack’s body after Joe’s interrogation freaked her out. Drew reminded her why that was a bad idea. Ava blasted him for framing Nina as they argued. Drew warned Ava if they turned on each other, they would end up in prison.
