Kristina vs. Ava: The tension between Kristina and Ava is palpable as Kristina seeks her mother’s help in preparing for Ava’s trial. Kristina is determined to ensure Ava is found guilty, and Alexis tries to warn her that the truth doesn’t always win in the courtroom, especially when Ric Lansing is involved. Alexis, knowing her ex-husband all too well, cautions Kristina that Ric will use her past mistakes to portray her as unstable. Kristina is relentless, though, insisting that this is about justice, not revenge. She wants Ava to experience the same pain she did when she lost her baby—and she’s not afraid to cross any line to make that happen. Alexis, taken aback by Kristina’s intensity, reminds her that the law is about justice, not personal vendettas. It’s a stark reminder of how far Kristina is willing to go to avenge what she feels was stolen from her.
Meanwhile, Ava, preparing for her own trial, meets with Ric to strategize. Ric warns her that the jury may be swayed by her past actions, painting her as a woman of ill repute. Ava, ever defiant, insists she’s not a monster, but Ric’s blunt questions put her on the defensive. He confronts her about her role in Morgan’s breakdown and Kristina’s fall, and Ava’s emotional breakdown over the consequences of her actions is a turning point. She admits her regrets, especially over Morgan’s death, but insists that hurting a pregnant woman was never her intent. She reveals her deep remorse over Kristina’s fall and wishes she could undo the pain she’s caused. Ric, impressed by her sincerity, urges her to take this approach in court. For once, Ava might actually have a shot at redemption—if only she can convince the jury.

Later, Trina runs into Kai, who wants to make amends for his recent behavior. He’s now committed to attending all his classes and is hoping to smooth things over with Trina.

Molly’s Birthday, A Surprise Gesture: At Bobbie’s, Molly is quietly nursing her grief over Sam’s death. When Isaiah, a new acquaintance, bumps into her, it sparks an unexpected connection. He makes her laugh with his comments about Little Women, and as they talk, it’s clear that Isaiah understands more about loss than he lets on. When he learns Molly’s sister was Sam, his sympathy is genuine, and he invites her to have a meal with him, sensing her loneliness on her birthday. Molly, still raw from the loss, reluctantly accepts. Isaiah’s thoughtful gesture—a cupcake with a candle and a rendition of “Happy Birthday”—is a small but meaningful moment that shows that even in grief, there’s room for kindness. Molly, touched by his attention, opens up about her sisters and the role each of them would play in a story like Little Women. It’s a rare moment of warmth for Molly, who has been carrying the weight of Sam’s death alone for far too long.
Later, Kristina, in a bittersweet moment, gives Molly a birthday gift—a necklace similar to one Kristina wears, symbolizing their bond despite the ongoing tension in their family. As Kristina puts the necklace around Molly’s neck, she tells her sister that Sam is wishing her a happy birthday from heaven. The gesture is heartwarming, but the loss still lingers, and neither of them can escape the aching absence of Sam.
Drew and Jason: A Family Confrontation: Things take a dramatic turn at the Quartermaine mansion when Drew, Nina, and Jason are caught in a violent confrontation.

It’s a shocking moment that leaves Drew reeling. Nina screams in disbelief as Jason continues to hit Drew, and it’s only when Ned, Brook Lynn, and Lois rush in that Jason finally stops. The reason for the attack remains unclear, but Jason’s rage is evident—his unspoken animosity toward Drew is reaching a boiling point.
As Drew tends to his wounds, the family tries to downplay the incident. Lois is more concerned about Drew’s injury than the emotional fallout, while Ned frets about the possible repercussions, particularly what Monica would think if she knew what had just happened. Drew, ever the stoic figure, decides against going to the hospital, not wanting to attract any attention. Nina, however, insists on calling Willow to help, even as Lois suggests involving the cops. But both Drew and Ned are firm in their decision to keep the police out of it. It’s clear that this is a situation Drew and Jason will need to work through privately.
