Maggie left to visit Philip, and Xander watched her leave with a sneer on his face. Sarah talked to him about Philip. Xander knew about it and hoped he didn’t survive what happened. Sarah asked him if he was responsible for what happened to Philip. He didn’t answer her. The cops didn’t have any evidence against him so she grabbed his bad hand and demanded the truth.

At the Quartermaines’ manor, Brook Lynn tries to stick up for Gio with the family, saying that he’s very contrite about what happened with Rocco and Danny. Gio overhears part of it and tells them all again that he’s very sorry. He’s upset about it, so Lois goes out to the foyer to try to convince him that everything is fine. Lois follows later to tell him that Dante will forgive him, in time, and that he’s just seeing himself in Gio from when he was young. Dante arrives later and wonders what happened at the family meeting. Dante and Brook Lynn get into a little argument about Gio. Also, Ned and Olivia wonder to Lois about why Tracy seems so distracted lately, but she claims she doesn’t know.

Drew and Curtis have a tense conversation about Drew’s blackmail of Portia. Drew threatens to ruin her career and their finances. Curtis points out that no matter what they put out there, people will still remember the photo of him with the call girl. Drew smugly hopes that Aurora endorses Ezra for mayor and Prop C. Curtis recorded the conversation, so he listens to it later on. Drew phones Mac to tell him that he remembers who drugged him.

Lulu and Cody search for clues about Gio’s family (specifically, the woman who raised him). They find out from a good source that Camila was not pregnant when she was on tour in New Zealand (when Gio was born). Lulu knows that Lois and Brook Lynn have been keeping this a secret.

Nina and Carly get into a argument about Willow and Michael’s impending custody agreement, which turns into a knock-down, drag-out fight. Josslyn arrives to break them up, and Nina storms out. Nina wanted more time to get through to Willow about Drew, but Carly thinks she was just dragging her feet. Nina is afraid of losing Willow for good. Carly doesn’t admit to Nina that she’s afraid of losing Michael as well (if he loses his kids) but she does share that fear with Josslyn.

Dante and Sasha have a chat about Rocco and Danny while she’s in the kitchen, snacking. Dante thinks Jason should have a firmer hand with Danny and thinks Danny might be too much like Jason (does no one on this show remember that Jason was completely different before his head injury? How could he pass that on to his kids?) Jason arrives, and Dante leaves. Sasha is served with a summons from Ric to speak at Willow and Michael’s divorce, but she can’t figure out why she was called.

Sonny tries to talk Willow out of suing Michael for custody of the kids until he comes back. Even though Carly is the one who had Diane set the date, he wants Willow to postpone it. He insists that Michael would not be suing her for sole custody, even though she tells him that she flew to Germany to talk to him about it, but he refused to see her.

Nina arrives, so Willow wonders what happened to her face. Nina explains that she and Carly got into a fight because Michael is suing for full custody. Willow intends to fight back. Sonny tells Nina that she just messed things up – he had almost convinced her to call it off.
