Trina (Tabyana Ali), Emma (Braedyn Bruner), Gio (Giovanni Mazza), and Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) accused Heather (Alley Mills) of being the stalker as they listed all the things the stalker had done.

Trina threatened to have Heather arrested if she didn’t stay away from her. Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) witnessed a touching moment between Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and a young patient at the hospital. Elizabeth spotted Dante and noticed he was limping.

Chase and Brook Lynn demanded to meet the man who signed away his rights for Phoebe’s (Lucia & Luna Creighton) adoption. Alexis insisted it was a closed adoption, so that wasn’t possible. She declared she would alert the person. The lawyer warned that if the man, aka Ethan (Nathan Dean), whose name she didn’t reveal, had lied, and Jude had a DNA connection to Phoebe, then he had a claim to the baby. Josslyn (Eden McCoy) filled Hudson (Troy Lennon Appel) in on her cousin Jude as she looked for information on him. Hudson suggested they take a break. They headed to the Brown Dog.

Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) barged into the hospital, demanding that Tristan (Dean Geyer) evaluate Nina (Cynthia) at the WSB black site, per approval she received from the WSB and Homeland Security.

Agent Baines (Alimi Ballard) told Nina that Jack was dead, and Carly and Valentin had been arrested on suspicion of murder. Nina was upset about Jack and mad that she hadn’t realized Carly had framed her sooner. She rehashed their history for Baines.

They searched for a link between Heather and Trina’s stalker. Jason learned Tracy had to leave town to help her son Dillon (Robert Palmer Watkins), who got arrested in Bangkok. Tracy made Jason promise to protect the Qs amid the Jude drama, with Michael away and Willow ready to pounce, as she explained that Ned (Wally Kurth) didn’t need the stress after his heart attack. Jason vowed to take care of the family, and Tracy admitted Alan (Stuart Damon) and Monica (Leslie Charleson) would be proud. Tracy summed Gio, who arrived at the mansion with Emma. Without giving away details, Tracy asked Gio to be there for Brook Lynn while she was away. Gio and Emma both agreed. Valentin called Alexis to the police station. Alexis tried to object to representing him once she was there, but he admitted it involved Danny. Once Alexis agreed to be his lawyer, Valentin filled her in on Charlotte and Danny finding Jack’s dead body in the Metro Court pool. Valentin feared Charlotte would come forward if she learned he had been arrested, so he asked Alexis to have Danny call her and implore her to stay put. Alexis was frustrated with Valentin and blamed him for Charlotte’s actions, but did give him a tip to pass onto Martin in Valentin’s defense. Sonny offered to join forces with Jude to get JJE away from Josslyn. Jude was intrigued. Sonny demanded his piers back and for Jude to walk away from Phoebe. Jude agreed to everything but keeping away from his daughter. Sonny said it was all or nothing before warning Jude that the next offer wouldn’t be so nice.

Josslyn showed up at Hudson’s hotel room looking for details on his meeting with Sonny. Hudson told her the truth. They talked about Hudson’s weird altercation with Ric at the gym. Suddenly, Josslyn pulled out a wand to search for bugs and found the one Ric planted in Hudson’s briefcase. Josslyn was determined to get the upper hand on Sonny after they realized Sonny heard all their conversations. Jason shut down Serena’s deal to lie for Carly, especially since he knew where Carly was that night. Serena hinted she could make an alibi for Carly stick. Jason insisted he wouldn’t risk Carly’s freedom or Serena perjuring herself. Alexis laid into Danny for not coming to her when he and Charlotte found Jack’s body. Danny acknowledged that he could have made a better choice in the situation. Alexis told Danny to tell Charlotte they could not come forward now or it would harm them and Valentin. After he talked to Charlotte, Danny promised Alexis he and Charlotte would stay quiet. When Jason showed up, Alexis blamed him for Danny’s actions. Ric met Elizabeth for dinner at the newly redecorated Metro Court. They discussed Halloween and made plans for future date activities until Lulu (Alex Havins) interrupted them. Lulu asked Elizabeth to convince Willow to drop the lawsuit, insisting it would make Willow look bad if she didn’t. Elizabeth reluctantly agreed. Willow was unreceptive to Elizabeth’s conversation and questioned Elizabeth’s relationship with Ric in a very nasty manner. Ric was frustrated with Lulu for having Elizabeth do her dirty work. Drew was thrilled to be celebrating Carly and Valentin’s arrest with Ava, who was not in a party mood. Ava was worried some kind of evidence would still expose them. Then she threatened Drew that if she got busted, she would take him down with her. Tristan and Willow were also at the Metro Court, where he gave her an update on Nina. Willow was certain that Nina would be released soon, since Valentin and Carly had been arrested. Tristan clocked Ava and Drew across the restaurant. Molly and Dante pressured Carly to turn on Valentin with the intel they knew the hack came from her office. Carly insisted she already told the police that. Dante even tried to use Donna (Scarlett Spears) to get Carly to cooperate. Carly maintained she and Valentin were innocent. Alone with Molly, Carly encouraged her to look at other suspects but wouldn’t give her names. Outside the interrogation room, Tristan showed up and declared to Dante he had arrested the wrong people.
