A Potential Defining Moment for Trina and Joss’s Friendship

Joss (Eden McCoy) and Trina (Tabyana Ali) come face to face on Friday — for the first time in weeks. They are besties who live together. But they have been on separate paths for a while now. Trina has no idea that Joss is a WSB agent and that Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) kidnapped her after they battled in their apartment. We’re not sure where Trina even thinks that Joss has been lately.

Meanwhile, Trina has been knee-deep in her parents’ drama and chaos. It got so bad that she had to draw boundaries. She decided to keep her distance from Portia (Brook Kerr) and Curtis (Donnell Turner).

Maybe Trina is at the hospital visiting her new brother when she sees that Joss is recovering in a hospital room, which would be a crazy way to find out that your best friend was shot. Regardless of how it happens, Trina and Joss will take the time to clear the air. How much will Joss tell Trina?

Joss feels guilty about lying to her friends and family, but she knows it’s the job and has decided to remain a WSB agent. So we’ll see how open these two are with each other. After all, Joss doesn’t know that Trina and Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) are keeping their own Drew-sized secrets. Yeah, these two have a lot of catching up to do.

Carly Sets a Boundary as Valentin Speaks His Mind

While Joss clears the air with Trina, look for Carly (Laura Wright) to draw boundaries with Sonny (Maurice Benard). Carly’s ex-husband wasn’t happy to learn that Carly and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) were involved. Sonny has valid reasons why he doesn’t trust Valentin. But that doesn’t matter. Carly trusts the Cassadine with her life. For the past seven months, they have relied on each other for support and much more.

And now they are free to be together. Carly isn’t going to let Sonny ruin things, and it sounds like she will let him know as much. But she has to know she can’t stop him from doing what he wants. He will interfere. She knows it. Valentin knows it. Everybody in Port Charles knows it.

Speaking of Valentin, he’s at a crossroads. He is trying to reclaim his life. He has set his sights on getting Wyndemere back. And it also includes spending as much time as he can with Charlotte (Bluesy Burke). His plans include his daughter living with him. At least part of the time. On Friday, he makes his feelings clear. This could mean another tense conversation with Lulu (Alexa Havins).

In Other Port Charles News

As for Lulu, she cautions Ethan (Nathan Dean). Maybe she wants to warn him about spending too much time with Ava (Maura West). He just saved her life. She knows his business. They have bonded. Lulu might think that her brother will end up regretting this friendship.

Ava’s close pal, Nina (Cynthia Watros), is getting to know Brennan (Chris McKenna). Of course, she’s responsible for causing Jack’s locked-in state. But she made it up to him when she saved his life after Cullum tried to kill him. And she won’t stop reminding him of that fact. Look for vulnerability from Nina when she opens up to Brennan.
