Tracy Sets Brook Lynn Straight
At the Q’s stables, Brook Lynn arrives upset, and Tracy asks if it’s Maxie? Brook Lynn says there is no change, but she feels guilty for not staying at the hospital. She feels Lulu belongs there, given she and Maxie have a longer history. Tracy tells her she’s wrong.
Tracy tells her granddaughter that, like her, Maxie sees the best in Brook Lynn and Lulu, and they are more alike than she thinks. She suggests Brook Lynn not let her animosity for Lulu keep her from being there for Maxie and her family when they need her. Brook Lynn knows she’s right.
Brook Lynn heads out, pauses, and looks at her phone.
Lulu Opens Up to Obrecht and Calls a Truce
At Maxie’s, Lulu freaks out when Obrecht mentions Maxie falling into a coma, as it brings up painful memories. She lost so much time with her son, which is why she reacted so harshly when she found out he was looking for answers about Britt. Now she wonders if her reaction was unfair.
Obrecht admits she should have told her and Dante that Rocco reached out to her. Lulu hated the idea of the doctor sharing something with Rocco from that time, which she missed out on. Lulu says even if they can come to an understanding, she can’t forgive what Britt did.
Lulu offers to stay with the kids if Obrecht wants to visit Maxie. Obrecht thanks her and knows Maxie would get a kick out of them talking and not tearing each other’s throats out. Lulu agrees.
Brook Lynn soon arrives, having seen Lulu’s call. Brook Lynn admits she was going to call her, too. Lulu recalls how Maxie tricked them into meeting here months ago to call a truce. She wasn’t ready then, but she is today if Brook Lynn is.

In the Show’s Final Moments
Nina arrives at the hospital, hoping to get a glimpse of Willow to see how she’s doing. Liz suggests she try the break room.
In the break room, Lies once again pour out of Drew’s mouth, saying he wanted to tell her about Nina, but she threatened to use McConkey and her political connections against him. He begs her to believe him.
At Maxie’s, Lulu believes Brook Lynn didn’t stick around the hospital last night because of the tension between them. Right now, all that matters is Maxie and supporting the Scorpios. Brook Lynn agrees with her. Who is this Lulu, and what has she done with the old one?
In Maxie’s room, Obrecht drops off flowers, but doesn’t want to intrude on Felicia’s time with her daughter. Felicia insists she stay as she’s family.
At the pool, Alexis asks Ric what he wants. He explains that he and Ava have soured, which she hilariously claims breaks her heart… NOT! He wants one final payment from her, and then they will be done.
At Bobbie’s, after she can’t stop thinking about Cody, Molly rushes out and right into Michael. He asks what’s wrong. She blurts out, “I think I have feelings for Cody!”
Ava shows up at the stables as a shirtless and sweaty Cody works. She tells him how sorry she is about Maxie. He admits he was thinking about Ava, and he’s not the good guy she thinks he is. It feels like Cody is moving away from being the horse’s ass he’s been recently, pun intended.
At the station, Sonny warns Justine that she’s made an enemy of Drew. She isn’t afraid of him and feels there is nothing he can do to her, as she has nothing to hide.
Sonny leaves and finds Diane waiting outside. The lawyer knows he’s cultivating Turner, but is he working her, or is she working him?
At Aurora, Stella tells Martin this isn’t his fault, it’s hers. Curtis says the person to blame is Drew, and must be stopped. Another threat, and more foreshadowing Drew’s in big trouble!
Finally, at the hospital, Nina peers into the breakroom as Drew pulls Willow into his arms, promising he will get her children back for her. But is Willow just playing Drew to get what she wants?
