Willow runs into Drew at the hospital. He’s there picking up some corrected medications for Monica that the pharmacy messed up. Liz arrives as he asks if she’s recovered from their elevator ride. Drew heads out before Willow can answer.

Liz tells Willow how much she misses her. Willow misses her too and wishes she was back under better circumstances. She’s here to see Kristina.

Willow goes in to see Kristina, who is resting. Willow hopes she’s not bothering her. Kristina says she’d rather be awake, as she sees her daughter when she sleeps. Then, when she wakes up, she realizes she’s gone all over again. Kristina knows Willow has gone through this, and they say time heals, but she can’t imagine that is true. Willow tells her that you never forget losing a child, but time helps make it easier to remember them without falling apart. Kristina keeps feeling her baby kicking. Willow explained that something similar had happened to her. She would recall the weight of holding her baby in her arms for the last time.

Kristina tells Willow that people keep trying to visit and help her and asks if anyone ever helped Willow. Willow says the ones who sat with her and let her be were the only ones she felt helped the most.

In the halls, Brook Lynn asks Blaze how Kristina is. Frustrated, Blaze doesn’t know, as nobody has let her see her. Brook Lynn tries to focus her on the good news: she’s been offered the opening act on Miguel Morez’s (Ricky Martin’s character) fall tour, which stars in Hong Kong. Brook Lynn says they need to leave tonight.

Blaze states that it is impossible. Brook Lynn says this tour will take her over the top internationally and is her chance to be a superstar. Blaze asks what about Kristina? Brook Lynn knows the timing is terrible, but Kristina has a lot of people who love her to take care of her. However, this opportunity won’t come around again.

Later, Natalia arrives and finds Brook Lynn. She got her message and is ecstatic over the tour news. She asks where Alison is. Brook Lynn says she just went up to see Kristina. Natalia thinks that is good, as she can see Kristina is doing well before she has to say goodbye. Brook Lynn breaks the news that Blaze doesn’t want to go.

Back in Kristina’s room, her IV pulls on her, so Willow fixes it for her and jokes that she loves taking care of her patients. Kristina thanks Willow for everything she’s done and is impressed she was once a nurse. Kristina says she was always in awe of nurses and never understood how being a nurse left much time for anything else.

Later, Blaze visits Kristina. Blaze says she loves her and is glad she’s okay. Kristina says she’s not OK. Her daughter is dead, and her life has fallen apart. Kristina says she’s just… here. Blaze is glad she is here.

Blaze asks if she can do anything for her, but Kristina shakes her head. Blaze offers to bring anything from her place here that may comfort her. Kristina knows she just got here, but she’s tired and turns her head to the side.

Later, Natalia checks on Kristina. She tells her that she’s sorry about everything that happened to her. Kristina thanks her and says Ali was here, but she doesn’t know where she is now. Natalia says she’s not packing to go on tour with Miguel Morez, as she turned it down to stay with her. Kristina had no idea about the tour. Natalia isn’t surprised. Natalia cries she knows she has no right to ask this, but please, let her daughter go.

Willow checks back in with Liz. She asks if the nursing department is still understaffed. Liz says of course it is, and asks if she knows someone who might want a job. Willow says, “Me.” Liz is shocked, and Willow explains The New Institute requires more travel than she initially thought. She’s done what she can for them, and now it’s time for her to return to General Hospital.

Willow explains what happened with Kristina and her IV. It made her miss that one-on-one connection with people and helping them, and she doesn’t get that with the foundation. Liz asks if she’s sure. Willow is, and she’ll sort it out with Drew and Michael. She knows this is where she needs to be. Liz welcomes her back and hugs her.

At the Metro Court, Trish tells Carly that a guest ordered a bottle of wine and then complained about what he got. Carly comments that it’s a great vintage, and she can’t stand obnoxious guests.

Carly goes up to the guest’s room with the wine and is shocked to find it is Brennan. He’s also ordered a lot of food and asks her to join him. He suggests she taste the wine to ensure it meets her high standards. She accepts his offer, and he pours her a glass and offers her a seat at the table, prepared for two. She says she’s only staying long enough to sip the wine, but he says an experience like this shouldn’t be rushed.

He reveals he’s staying here long-term. Before he can explain, there is a knock at the door. He answers it to Anna, who asks, “What in the hell is going on?” Brennan asks what this is about. Anna just learned of his new position. Carly interrupts and asks if there is a problem.

Anna walks in and asks how Brennan got assigned to Port Charles, of all places. Jack explains that Port Charles has become a beacon of crime, so the WSB appointed him the new head of a permanent station here. Carly decides she shouldn’t be here for this and heads out.

Brennan lashes out at Anna for ruining everyone’s evening. Anna says ruining his evening is the best part of hers. Anna asks what his agenda is. He’s gone to a lot of trouble moving people around like chess pieces, so what is he after? Jack insists he likes it here, and the WSB and PCPD have like-minded objectives. Anna asks what this dinner is about. Jack explains he’ll be staying here long-term, and he wants to be on good terms with the owner. Anna says, “It was you! I knew it!”

Downstairs, Carly finds Felicia sitting in the restaurant. Felicia says she’s waiting for Anna. Carly says Anna may be awhile. Jack Brennan is in town long-term, and Anna is having it out with him

At Nina’s place, Maxie catches up with her friend. Nina explains that Drew is coming over tonight to discuss his political platform. Maxie isn’t sure if Drew’s platform needs help, but her story does. Maxie notices the wine and asks what is going on. Nina thought they could celebrate after work. Maxie advises that this is not her best idea. Nina tells her that believe it or not, she’s doing this for Willow. Maxie is confused. Nina confides in Maxie what happened between Drew and Willow at the Fourth of July party. Maxie blurts out, “I’m sorry, what?” Nina explains that it was a weak moment and thinks that Willow has some hero worship for Drew. She says Willow is drowning in guilt, so she will keep Drew’s attention on her and not Willow. She hopes that, in time, Willow’s attraction to him will fade.

Maxie can’t believe Nina’s solution is to throw herself at Drew to solve Willow’s inappropriate feelings for the same man. She tells Nina that this is unhealthy and that she can’t pursue a relationship with Drew based on anger and hatred. Nina agrees they started poorly, but their negative feelings have disappeared, and now they are left with a genuine attraction. Nina notes they enjoy each other’s company. Maxie says that makes sense, and they are both hot and hot people like to do hot things together. Nina explains that Drew loves the reflection of himself that he sees in Willow’s eyes. She wants to be a different mirror for Drew, to stop him and Willow from making another mistake.

Maxie fears this plan to save Willow by throwing herself at Drew could jeopardize her and Willow’s progress. Nina says she’d never jeopardize her relationship with Willow. Maxie cautions that she better hope Willow and Drew don’t find out about this plan, and Drew may feel like he’s being used. Nina laughs, saying that she and Drew are using each other and having a good time doing so. Maxie can’t listen to her talk about having sex with Drew any longer, and if she falls in love with him, she’ll kill her. Nina jokes that she’ll do it herself if that happens.

Drew arrives, and Maxie races off. Nina invites him in. They sit down, and Nina tells him how his shirt makes his eyes pop and that he should use that color on the campaign trip. He says she looks nice as well. Later, Nina thinks they made a lot of progress on his campaign. Drew agrees and notes she’s never had him over to work here before. She explains that she likes to keep her private and work lives separate, and she doesn’t have just anyone over. He asks, “So I’m not just anyone to you?” She thinks they are working on a relationship in which they have mutual regard for one another. They lean in and kiss. The kiss quickly turns passionate, and they get horizontal on the couch.

TJ and Jordan walk through the cemetery, looking for a spot to bury his child. TJ finds a peaceful spot, which Jordan also likes. He thanks his mom for being here, even though Molly should be.

Eventually, Molly arrives, and she and Jordan embrace. Jordan leaves them, and TJ lashes out that he doesn’t want to do any of this without her and that he needs her here. Molly says she knows. TJ asks what is going on, does she not want to be part of this? Molly cries that she’s just been so angry. TJ says they must plan a service, pick a burial plot, and choose a casket. Molly cries she can’t, and it’s too much.

TJ feels the same way, but they must do this, and they have to start by giving their daughter a name. Molly has never been very devout regarding religion, but TJ needs a church service and a place to visit his daughter. Molly understands this is closure for him, but there is no closure for her. She needs more than a ritual, she needs to make sure Ava is punished to the fullest extent of the law.

TJ asks what then? They’ll still be without a baby. Molly hasn’t thought that far ahead and asks what he wants. He wants them to be together, he wants them to go through this together. Molly assures him that she is here. She thinks this spot is a beautiful place for their daughter. They embrace.
