This week we are recapping April 13 through April 17, 2026. No Port Charles Pipeline this week, so we got straight into it. Ric showed up at Alexis's door with news that Danny had gone to Sonny about joining the mob, and somehow the situation ended with a ball gag, a Halloween costume excuse, and Ric earning a rare brownie point. Dante took Danny and Rocco to the batting cages to get them talking, and after he left they actually did. Meanwhile Willow told Nina she was the one who shot Drew, handed her a syringe, and then used the fingerprints on it as leverage. Nina tried to dispose of the needle in a Ziploc bag. Willow pointed out that is not how sharps work. Drew blinked through the whole thing and Nina never figured out what he was trying to say.

Joss approached Cassius at the gym and the whole conversation felt off from the start. He went home and started replaying it, which is not great when you are the lead detective on Marco's case. Ezra had a rough week, ended up drunk at the Brown Dog, and Laura brought him home. By the time she came back with coffee he was passed out on her couch. He rallied like someone twenty years younger and the two of them came up with a plan to take down Sidwell. Shannon does not trust that it ends well for Ezra. Willow also went after Jacinda at her office, and Jacinda held her ground completely. Friday's Hulu headline told us everything about Ethan Lovett's return before the episode even started, and we are officially mad about it.

Thursday's Port Charles 411 is part two of Diane, which turns out to be three parts because that woman has done a lot. We are also re-releasing our Spinelli episode as a bonus episode since Ethan is back and it has been a few years.
