@Laura14  I agree-that dress was not flattering on Brooklyn. Was I reading it wrong or did I get the impression that she wanted to wear Lila's dress? I'm not sure about her wearing that one either-perhaps only Lois could pull that off.

If I were dressing her I would put her in a short shift dress with some tasteful beading or a long gossamer goddess type dress that flows over her body.

That dress didn't do BLQ any favors.  No, that wasn't Lila's wedding gown.  I believe BLQ really wants to wear Lila's gown, especially since Lois also wore it.  However, I doubt Tracy will offer it.

Speaking of Tracy.......how dare you have your lawyers draw up a pre-nup for BLQ and Chase????  Be a grandmother and offer your love and support.  The pre-nup is not your place!

Sonny needs to put his pride aside; he needs people he knows have his back around him.  He also should have said bye to Donna before leaving.  A hug certainly wouldn't have taken that long.

Wake up, Joss!!  Dex can't cross Sonny.

Jagger needs a haircut.  That ragmop does him no favors.

A beautiful summation of today's episode!  Thank you.

Yes, BLQ wants to wear Lila's/Lois" wedding gown.  Tracy claims "it's in storage somewhere...."  Find it and let a seamstress fit it to your grand-daughter.

Agree. Donna was having fun in the park and what??? Daddy Sonny can't go over and say bye, give his daughter a  kiss and hug?  What was that all about?  Too, Sonny's "trustful" world of folks (according to him) is growing less and less.  Wake up and keep those that have your back close.

What lawyer/law firm would go ahead and send an email to Chase with all the "pre-nup" documents without explicit orders from their client (Tracy and/or BLQ in this case)?  And would they even be emailed?  Ridiculous S/L from start to finish.  Absurd writers...completely absurd.  For that matter and as long as we (TPTB) are emailing, why not have had the divorce papers emailed to Nina? LOL

Yes, Jagger can use a good shave and haircut.  I'll be happy to take up a collection for that cause.

Still feel "it ain't over" for Dex and Joss.

At Finn's apartment, Finn agreed to be the best man at Chase's wedding. A short while later, Chase expressed disbelief when he received a text stating that the Quartermaines' lawyers wanted him to sign a prenup. Chase said that Brook Lynn was "planning a way out." Finn and Gregory encouraged Chase to visit Brook Lynn to sort things out. Chase and Gregory soon left for the Quartermaine mansion.

At the Quartermaine mansion, Maxie promised to find the perfect wedding dress for Brook Lynn. Lois was sentimental as she rambled about Brook Lynn's childhood. When Tracy appeared, the conversation shifted to how Lois had worn Lila's wedding dress at Lois' wedding to Ned many years earlier.

Lois flashed back to Lila giving Lois permission to wear the dress. "Inside that box is the dress that I wore when I married Edward. I'd hoped that Tracy would wear it, but it wasn't, um... outré enough for her. So, it became my desire to pass it on to my granddaughter. And that's you, my darling," Lila had told Lois.

After the flashback ended, Lois asked Tracy where Lila's dress was. Tracy stuttered that the dress was likely in storage, and she encouraged everyone to focus on Brook Lynn's dress. Moments later, Brook Lynn returned in a white dress that covered everything except her face. Brook Lynn liked the dress. Maxie pressured Brook Lynn to choose the perfect dress. Brook Lynn soon grew irate, and she stormed out.

When Brook Lynn returned, she told everyone that she was tired from stressing over the dress and other wedding details. Tracy received a text, and she said that there had been an "error." Tracy shared that the Quartermaines' lawyers had mistakenly sent a prenup to Chase. Brook Lynn and Lois yelled at Tracy. Lois yelled that Tracy's "only job (was) to smile and sign the checks."

Tracy said that safeguarding Brook Lynn's future was her business, but she admitted that the text from the lawyers had been sent prematurely. Brook Lynn said that she needed to find Chase. Just then, Chase and Gregory appeared.

At the cemetery, Scott placed flowers on Karen Wexler's grave. John appeared with flowers, and he asked if he could join Scott. John shared that he worked for the FBI. Scott said that John should have reached out, and he added that he'd been disappointed when he'd learned that John and Karen had broken up years earlier. John grew sentimental, and he said that he often wondered what would have happened if he and Karen had met at a different time in their lives.

Scott said that people grew up and then grew apart. John grew emotional when he recalled the love he'd shared with Karen. Scott asked if John had seen "Corinthos." When John replied that he had visited Sonny, Scott grew spirited. "Well, tell me that's why you're here -- to take that criminal down," Scott said sharply.

Scott lamented Sonny's rise to power since John had left Port Charles many years earlier. John said it had always bothered him that Sonny had been able to persuade Karen. "He made her believe that she needed him. Like without him, she'd cease to exist. And he... putting her to work as a stripper, convincing her that it was something that she chose? Sonny figured out where Karen was vulnerable, and he exploited her," John said as his voice and face filled with emotion.

Scott agreed that Sonny had exploited Karen. "So, you know what? Make him pay! Take him out!" an angry Scott yelled. John said that no one wanted to bring down Sonny more than John did, and he noted the irony of being in Port Charles to save Sonny's life. Scott worried that John would forgive Sonny for what Sonny had done to Karen.

John vowed that he would never forgive Sonny, but he noted that he had a duty to uphold. "Ah! Come on. Just look the other way. Let nature run its course. Sonny is gonna go bye-bye. It's inevitable. So, why not let this be the time now?" Scott said. "Because I am not that kind of agent -- or man," John replied.

Scott continued to argue that Sonny deserved whatever cruel fate awaited him. John said that he would do his job, and he told Scott not to lose hope that Sonny would pay for Sonny's crimes. "I learned a thing or two since I left Port Charles... for people like Sonny, it only ends one way," John told Scott.

In Rockland, New York, Josslyn showed a middle-aged man a photo of Dex. The man said that he hadn't seen Dex, and he walked away. Unbeknownst to Josslyn, Dex hid out of sight nearby, and he waited until the man had walked away. Afterwards, Dex called out to Josslyn. Josslyn ran to Dex, and they hugged and kissed.

Dex escorted Josslyn to a one-room home. Dex said that Josslyn should have stayed away. After the couple admitted that they had missed one another, Josslyn asked Dex for sex. He agreed. They undressed one another and had sex. Afterwards, Josslyn exclaimed that she had "finally" found Dex. She said that Sonny would "have to accept" that no one could keep her and Dex apart. Dex surprised Josslyn when he said that he wouldn't return to Port Charles. "This is the last time we can be together. This is goodbye... for good," he said.

At the playground in Rice Plaza, Sonny unexpectedly encountered Carly with Donna. When Donna left to play nearby, Carly asked why Sonny had truly stopped by. Sonny reminded Carly that she and Michael had paid Dex to "spy" on Sonny, and he said that he felt betrayed. Sonny expressed disappointment in Carly, who huffed that he would believe whatever he wanted.

Carly noted that Olivia Jerome was dead and that she didn't want to think of who might be next. Carly shared that she knew the attempts on Sonny's life had been part of a series of murders targeted against organized crime figures. When Carly admitted that John had become a regular at Bobbie's Diner, Sonny asked if John had told Carly that the two men had a personal history with one another.

Carly shared that John had told her that he believed Sonny belonged in prison. Sonny referred to John as a "punk with a badge with an axe to grind." Carly agreed to let Sonny know when John stopped by Bobbie's again. Sonny told Carly to tell Donna that he loved her, and he left.

At Volonino's Gym, Michael told Dante that he needed a favor. Dante said that he wanted no part of intervening on Michael's behalf for Sonny. Michael claimed that he hadn't gone through with his desire to send Sonny to prison, and he weakly argued that Sonny was "vulnerable" and needed protection. Dante said that Sonny could count on him. Michael said that Dante couldn't fully protect Sonny, given that Dante was a member of the PCPD. Dante told Michael to trust him.

When Michael learned about Olivia Jerome's death, he said he had failed to see how her death had been connected to the attempts on Sonny's life. Dante vowed to catch the person responsible. Michael scoffed, and he doubted that the PCPD would be urgent to catch a "known gangster" like Sonny. Michael claimed that he was worried that Sonny's anger would case Sonny to lash out at the wrong person. Just then, Michael and Dante turned and saw that Sonny had entered the gym.

You know I think it's funny that Scotty constantly wants Sonny off the face of the earth or in jail. I think GH is missing a fine opportunity with Scotty never having been investigated for his shady law practices. That's a comedy routine with multiple possibilities especially if Lucy steps in to help.

Brooklyn looked horrible in that dress. Sorry, Lila. I smell elopement. 

Thank goodness for Tracy doing the YMCA. 

Who decided a braid across her forehead looked good on Lois? We finally freed Tracy from the Heidi look and now Lois?

Doesn't Joss have class? I don't remember being out in February except during Mardi Gras week and that's long over. How does that excused absence note read: Excuse my absence. I had to go look for my mobster boyfriend.

Tracy is my hero. I can't wait for the sparkles to fly at the Q mansion tomorrow.

I love Tracy's sassy comments! If it wasn't for Diane and Tracy there wouldn't be any fun, realistic comments. I want more of them. Scotty will say what he thinks, but he always seems half way in the bag.

[Laura14]

Volontino's is the only gym in town, John? And newsflash, priests can't talk. Like lawyers, they have priest - parishioner confidentiality privileges. Antonio would know that.

I have to say Edward would be proud of Tracy and he just rolled over in his mausoleum as I typed that.

I'm not so sure Lila's dress works for Brookie either...

Sonny is begging to die. Cue Jason, not Dex, to save him from himself.

How about Spinelli as the new owner of Wyndermere? He did get all that money from the dating app.

Lois' hair the last couple of episodes 🤦🏻‍♀️

At Volonino's Gym, Sonny reiterated his anger at Michael for having hired Dex to help send Sonny to prison. Dante tried to deescalate things, but Sonny insisted that he could no longer trust Michael. When Dante said that Michael wanted to know that Sonny was okay, Sonny snapped. "Judas does not have the right to know anything about me or my life!" Sonny said before asking whose side Dante was on.

Sonny disagreed when Dante said that Sonny would eventually have to be civil toward Michael. Michael prepared to leave, and he told Sonny to take care. "You do not get to say that to me!" Sonny said pointedly. Michael said that he didn't want Sonny to do something that Sonny might regret. Just as Michael turned to leave, John entered. John and Sonny locked eyes.

Sonny confronted John for having gone to Bobbie's Diner to glean information from Carly earlier. John said matter-of-factly that he would continue talking to people in Sonny's life if it meant protecting Sonny from the person gunning for Sonny. "I will talk to whomever I want, whenever I want. And until you get jurisdiction over the FBI or simply die of shame, there is nothing you can do to stop me," John said.

Sonny taunted John by referring to Karen as "Carrie," and he noted that it was her birthday. Sonny inched closer to John, and he accused John of leaving town when Stone had needed his brother the most. "You didn't take care of him! You didn't take care of your brother! And you hate the air I breathe! And it didn't matter to you that I sat by him, holding his hand, listening to his fears, while you took off with Karen, living your best life. Then you cheated on her! She divorced you! You're not only a bad husband... you're a bad brother!" an animated Sonny yelled loudly.

John took a swing at Sonny, who stepped back to avoid the punch. Dante and Michael stepped between Sonny and John to separate them. Afterwards, Sonny told Dante that he had been trying to bait John into hitting Sonny in an effort to have John removed from the FBI's case. Sonny disagreed when Dante said that John and the FBI only wanted to help Sonny.

Sonny said that he didn't trust John and that Dante shouldn't, either. As Sonny and Dante sparred in the boxing ring with one another, Dante said that he wasn't going to apologize for preventing Sonny from fighting John. "You know what? What's gonna happen is gonna happen. Sooner or later, you're gonna know the truth about Jagger Cates," Sonny told Dante.

In Rockland, New York, Dex insisted that he had no choice but to stay away from Port Charles. Josslyn claimed that Carly and Michael wouldn't allow Sonny to have Dex eliminated. Dex argued that Sonny looking weak to his enemies would put Josslyn and her family at risk. Dex that he was choosing to stay away from Port Charles because he loved and cared for Josslyn.

Dex told Josslyn that she would finish school, "become an amazing doctor, and save lives!" Dex said that Josslyn had to let him go. Moments later, Josslyn received a call from Michael at Volonino's Gym. Michael asked Josslyn to find Dex and to bring Dex back to Port Charles. When the call ended, Josslyn told Dex that she believed Sonny was in danger and that Sonny "needed" Dex.

At the Quartermaine mansion, Chase confronted Brook Lynn over the prenup. Brook Lynn said that Tracy was trying to protect Brook Lynn's interests. Chase admitted that a part of him knew there was a chance he and Brook Lynn might not be together forever, and he recalled that his brief marriage to Willow in 2021 had ended badly.

Brook Lynn said that there was no comparison between the two. She added that she had never loved anyone the way she loved Chase. Chase insisted that he felt the same way, and he said that he couldn't wait to marry Brook Lynn. Chase and Brook Lynn declared their love before he signed the prenup.

Brook Lynn playfully scolded Chase for signing the agreement without having read it first. The conversation turned to wedding gowns. Brook Lynn admitted that she wished Tracy would allow her to wear Lila's dress. Brook Lynn added that she believed Tracy still missed Lila, and she debated whether to ask Tracy for the dress.

Also at the Quartermaine mansion, Lois berated Tracy for having the family's lawyers present a prenup to "poor Chase." Lois yelled for Tracy to stop interfering in Brook Lynn's life. Lois said that Lila had done everything in Lila's power to help Lois in her wedding to Ned many years earlier. Tracy said that marriage was a contract and that an "interloper" could do a lot of damage to the Quartermaines.

Gregory appeared, and he objected to Tracy's use of the word "interloper." Tracy apologized profusely for her choice of words. Tracy added that she had seen too much in her life to not be a realist, and she added that not all marriages lasted. Gregory surprised Tracy when he said that he agreed with her.

Nearby, Maxie shared with Lois that Brook Lynn wanted to wear Lila's dress. Lois and Maxie debated whether to ask Tracy about the dress. Soon afterwards, Lois found Tracy and Gregory together. Lois escorted Gregory into the living quarters. When Gregory said that he was taking Alexis as his date to the wedding, Lois surprised Tracy when she said that Tracy was still considering her options and "fighting them all off."

Moments later, Chase and Brook Lynn returned. Chase thanked Tracy, and he said that the prenup had been her way of trying to protect her family. Chase hugged Tracy, who said that she couldn't wait to welcome Chase to the Quartermaine family.

Gregory asked Tracy to save a dance for him at the wedding. Chase and Gregory left.

Tracy admitted that she had been evasive when she and Brook Lynn had spoken of Lila earlier. Tracy's voice filled with emotion when she spoke of Lila. "I miss my mother every single day. And I regret -- I so regret not wearing that dress when she offered it to me. So, I have come to understand that that dress was never meant for me to wear. It was meant for me to share," Tracy said as she fought back tears.

Tracy retrieved the box that contained Lila's dress, and she presented the dress to Brook Lynn. Brook Lynn was overjoyed, and she and Tracy hugged. Brook Lynn and Tracy shed tears as they hugged.

At Finn's apartment, Elizabeth reassured Finn that Violet planning a wedding for herself was a normal thing for children at Violet's age. Elizabeth held Finn's hands, and she reassured him that he would be a good best man at Chase's wedding. She asked about her and Finn's future together.

Finn asked if marriage had been on Elizabeth's mind. Elizabeth said that she liked her relationship with Finn "just the way it is." "Why rush it?" she said. He said he felt the same way. Chase and Gregory entered. Chase apologized for pressuring Finn to be his best man earlier. Finn said he would be honored to be Chase's best man. Finn and Chase shared a warm embrace. Elizabeth smiled and sat quietly nearby.

I too was wondering about the front of Lois' hair yesterday. It looked like it was flattened down with shoe polish and i couldn't figure out where that front piece was coming from.

Young Michael Corinthos better get out of his own way. Does he imagine Sonny will be less mad when he brings Dex back? Plus does he place any value on Dex's own life. That was a very stupid and selfish request.

Also, Joss is being very naive if she can't figure out why it's best for Dex to disappear. But she is young and in love so I can give her a pass, but Dex needs to be the logical one in this instance, even though now that Michael has called I know he will go back. I hope it's not to face his own demise.
