As Victor Escapes With Obrecht and the Pathogen, Laura Recognizes a Possible Second Sinister Threat

Nina sits alone at Kelly’s when Sonny arrives and joins her. He guesses that she’s thinking about Willow. Nina asks if he has news. Sonny says he doesn’t on Obrecht or the others, but he has been digging to find out who tipped off the SEC. He hasn’t found out anything yet but has contacts in DC looking into it and what Drew will face when he comes back. He is also working to make sure Carly isn’t left holding the bag on this one.

Sonny damns Ned for putting Drew and Carly in this position in the first place. He vows to do whatever he can for his family, as when someone messes with one of them, they mess with all of them. He says Ned better brace himself if he did this. Nina changes the topic to his earlier suggestion they go to the islands and thinks now would be a good time for a trip. She says they could use the time to recharge and regroup, and then when they get home they can deal with everyone who needs their help. Sonny says he’ll make some calls.

In Joss’ dorm, she and Dex try and watch a movie for a distraction, but Joss can’t help but worry about her family and friends. Dex says she has to have hope as it’s a powerful thing. She knows Sonny has bought Drew time to find Obrecht, but even if everything works out, he will still go to prison. She can see Dex is having second thoughts about that, and he sees something in Sonny that she and Michael don’t anymore. She knows it’s not easy to turn him in.

Dex says was hired to do a job, and Sonny deserves to be in prison. He says his part in this is over, and it’s up to her brother now. Joss just wants to enjoy this last little bit of time before the fallout and her family is broken into team Michael and team Sonny. They kiss but are interrupted when Dex gets a call from Sonny.

Dex takes the call and Sonny asks him to charter him a private plane as soon as possible, explaining Brick is using his private jet. Joss meanwhile gets a call from  Carly about Willow. Joss says she’s on her way. She and Dex head out together, but to deal with separate issues.

At the hospital, Carly assumes the exhaustion of the day must be why Willow passed out. TJ says it’s more than that, Willow has bleeding that isn’t clotting. He says this is an indication her body is breaking down and not healing itself. Michael knows they are running out of time, but what are they going to do about it? TJ advises they keep her here to buy her more time until Drew gets here with Obrecht. However, TJ says she will be in terrible pain. Michael doesn’t know what to do as the hospital is the last place she wants to be, and walks off to think.

Michael heads into Willow’s room and sits by her side. Willow stirs awake and asks what happened. He explains she passed out and he brought her to the hospital. She remembers they were talking about Sonny. He says they are done talking about him, and they need to focus on her health. Willow wants to be home with the kids. Michael wants that too, but her only chance is to stay in the hospital. He explains TJ believes she needs to stay here and be monitored to buy her time for Drew and Obrecht to get home. He knows this isn’t what she wants, but this is their last shot. Willow says if Drew is risking his life for them, she’ll stay and fight.

Joss arrives, and Carly tells her that Willow’s only shot is a transplant and they are running out of time. Carly says Willow was fragile before, and she hopes this SEC thing didn’t push her past her breaking point. Joss says that’s on Ned. Carly can’t believe he could be so cold and do this to Willow and Michael now of all times. She blames herself and says she gave Ned this opening, and Drew and Michael both told her not to buy the stock. Joss says she was just trying to help someone she loved. Joss notes what she did was good, and what Ned did was harmful.

Dex calls Joss and tells her that he just saw Sonny and Nina and they know. Just then, Sonny and Nina enter. They approach Carly, who has a grim look on her face.
