Anna and Dante Question Michael
Michael arrives at the PCPD to speak with Anna and Dante. Diane sent Marco in her place to help, which is a surprise to Michael. Marco and Michael speak alone briefly. The lawyer explains that Diane is representing Alexis, so she can’t represent him. Michael trusts Diane’s judgement, and the questioning begins.
Michael accounts for his whereabouts that night. He was with Kristina when his father called with the news about the judge’s death. He then spoke to his mother and finally went to the Port Charles Grill to decompress. While there, he struck up a conversation with Jacinda Brackin. Anna asks if he’s aware she’s the escort who was photographed with Drew. He didn’t at the time, but does now.
Michael continues, providing the times he arrived and left the grill, which is when he realized he had left his phone in his car the entire time. That’s when he had missed calls from Wiley and Brook Lynn, and he went home as his son had a nightmare.
Anna asks if he stopped anywhere else on his way home, and Michael recalls that he did. We see a memory of him getting into his car, soaking wet, during the storm. He says he stopped nowhere, and Jacinda can account for their time at the grill.
Dante notes Drew only named Michael as someone who may have shot him, and no one else. Michael isn’t surprised. Anna allows Michael to go, for now.

At the internet café, Kai lets Trina know that Drew is awake. Trina worries Drew might know they were there when he was shot. Kai says he can find out by visiting Drew, who has no idea he knows who he really is. As long as Drew thinks he’s still on his side, he can protect them.
Kai takes off, and Emma finds Trina completely dazed. She says hello to her and goes to place an order. She returns with some tea for Trina, as she notes she looks like she can use some and a friend. She sits down and is willing to listen to her.
Trina let’s everything out: her mother switching Heather’s lab results, being blackmailed by Drew, and lying to her father. She feels it all started because of her.
Emma insists none of this is her fault, and it’s not her job to fix her parents’ problems and make them happy. She tells her friend to focus on making herself happy. Trina thanks her for the advice.

In the halls, Chase tells Curtis that as a former cop, he knows that when people lawyer up, it means they are hiding something. Curtis again has nothing to say without his lawyer and walks off.
Chase then calls the station to find out when Curtis left there with Stella. He left at 8:30, which would give him plenty of time to have shot Drew. Chase decides it’s time to talk to Stella Henry.

At the hospital, Lucas tells Liz he’s confident Carly didn’t shoot Drew. Liz isn’t, as Carly feels that Drew is a threat to her family.
At home, Lulu is grateful that Carly is telling her the truth, but she is Charlotte’s mom, and what’s best for her is leaving the past in the past. She doesn’t see any good coming from a visit with Valentin, and nobody will convince her otherwise.
Back at the grill, Jack tells Nina that Drew has been shot, and it’s only a matter of time before she and Willow are questioned. Jack can offer her a mutually beneficial friendship.
