Nina and Drew came up for air on his office floor after another "rugburn" romp, but Nina was horrified by what had happened. "I can't believe we did this again," she gasped, wondering, "What the hell is wrong with us?" Drew was pretty okay with what had happened, telling her, "I'm finding a few less things to hate about you than I was an hour ago." He even suggested that she start thinking of sending him to prison as foreplay.

As Drew and Nina quickly got dressed, they heard a knock on the door. Willow was there but walked away when she realized the door was locked and she thought nobody was there. In the office, Nina noticed the time and called her assistant to tell a congressman she was running late but was relieved to learn he'd had to reschedule.

Drew was surprised to learn Nina was meeting with a member of Congress, so Nina explained he was an old family friend who had known her father. He had an exclusive announcement he wanted to reveal just to her. Drew insisted on going with her when she met the man, but Nina balked at the idea, asking who she should say he was. "Just tell him I'm the guy you sent to prison and whose clothes you like to rip off every once in a while," Drew answered.

Nina refused to make any promises but said she would consider an introduction as long as she and Drew agreed that office sex could never happen again. Drew was fine with that. The next thing they knew, Willow was back outside the door, and this time, she announced her presence. Drew and Nina quickly finished getting dressed, and Drew opened the door. Willow was confused by Nina's presence, as Nina hinted to Drew that his shoe was untied.

Nina explained that she and Drew had just gone over the Crimson photo budget. "Drew was generous and gave me everything I wanted," she quipped. Drew smiled as he got the joke. When Nina tried to leave, Willow told her that seeing Drew and Nina getting along together after Nina had sent Drew to prison made her wonder if she had been too harsh in hanging on to her own anger at Nina. "Maybe I should let my anger at you go, too," she said.

Nina was almost stunned silent and quickly whispered a "thank you" that had her on the brink of tears. When Nina left, Drew told Willow he was surprised by Nina's words. Willow said she felt okay for saying that and had Drew to thank for being the bigger person. Drew told her he'd have her support if he chose to forge a relationship with Nina. Willow then asked Drew for more information on the nonprofit he wanted her to work with.

Maxie was surprised when Natalia popped into Maxie's Deception office to ask some questions about the company. She felt that Maxie seemed to be the only serious person running the place. Maxie defended Lucy and Scott and mentioned that majority shareholder Tracy was a serious "force to be reckoned with."

Maxie moved on to sampling some Deception products for Natalia, including the new Deceptor moisturizer. Natalia liked the scent and texture but didn't want her daughter promoting a "bogus cream." Maxie said that everything they made was tested and did as promised. Natalia then asked about Brook Lynn and wondered what her job really was at Deception. Maxie explained that Brook Lynn had several Deception roles.

Natalia then accused Brook Lynn of growing bored with singing, so she moved to music management. Maxie defended her friend and explained that Brook Lynn had been forced to give up singing. She elaborated that Brook Lynn's parents had introduced Brook Lynn to the music industry, and she genuinely loved it. Natalia still didn't buy that Brook Lynn was serious about face creams, and she called Brook Lynn a "nepo baby."

Natalia asked if Maxie was a mom. When Maxie said yes, Natalia hoped Maxie could understand why Natalia was asking so many questions. She wanted to protect her daughter and wanted her to have a serious manager. Again, Maxie had to jump to Brook Lynn's defense. Maxie asked if Blaze's dreams were her own or Natalia's.

As Maxie tried to leave for the day, Nina found her to tell her the good news that Willow had spoken to her "with actual words, said not in anger." Maxie wanted to know what had happened, so Nina told her. She said that Willow thought that Nina and Drew had become friends, even though they hated each other more than ever. "Even the sex is hateful," Nina blurted out, much to Maxie's surprise.

Nina had to awkwardly explain her new sexual escapades, baffling Maxie. Maxie wondered how Nina could have sex with her "sworn enemy." Nina admitted the sex was great, but she hated Drew even more when it was over. Maxie noted that "a therapist would have a field day with you."

In the Quartermaine kitchen, Sasha offered up a cooking sample for Olivia and Leo. Olivia wasn't too happy with the presentation but said at least the food smelled good. Soon, Wiley and Michael walked in, ready to eat. Sasha left the adults and children to try her chicken tetrazzini on their own.

Sasha took another tray of the tetrazzini to the stables for Cody to try. He was highly impressed, telling her it was great, but he wanted to know what was going on. She told him about her audition to be Cook IV and regretted making something Italian for Olivia.

Cody said it was amazing that Sasha would be Quartermaine help, too. She wanted to be able to practice the dish but wanted the job right away, since it came with room and board. However, she also wanted to know if Cody would feel crowded if she lived on the Quartermaine grounds, too. As they talked, Sasha moved in for a kiss.

Back in the kitchen, everyone seemed afraid to try Sasha's cooking, so Michael chose to go first and "take one for the team." He was immediately impressed, so Olivia decided to dig in, too, as the boys wondered what a casserole was. Everyone was happy with the meal, including the children. Leo even liked it better than his mom's spaghetti.

Michael and Wiley made their way to the stable to tell Sasha how good her food was. When Michael asked what was going on, Cody said they were just "horsing around." Finally, Michael told Sasha that everyone had loved her casserole. Olivia then walked in and offered Sasha the job. Sasha happily accepted.

Valentin offered Anna a drink at the Metro Court bar. She happily accepted a glass of wine, and they made small talk. Valentin laid on the compliments. He charmed Anna by telling her it was comfortable and familiar to be there with her.

Valentin informed Anna that Charlotte was back at her Swiss boarding school. Anna was pleased that Charlotte was doing well. Valentin told Anna he missed having her in his life and suggested they see each other again, since Charlotte was no longer in Port Charles. Anna admitted she was caught off guard by the request, because so much hurt had been felt and damage had been done.

Valentin admitted he felt lonely in his huge house and offered to take Anna for dinner. She said she would think about it but not make any promises. "I mean, my feelings for you didn't just disappear overnight," she explained. Valentin was happy she didn't immediately say no. Valentin tried to move in for a kiss, but Anna got a text from Jason telling her to meet him.

Jason found Dex at the Brown Dog Bar. He introduced himself, but Dex already knew who he was. Jason said he was there to talk about Sonny. Dex asked Jason to tell Sonny he didn't want any trouble. He also confirmed that he had applied to the police academy and planned to be a cop. Jason assured Dex that Sonny hadn't sent him.

Instead, Jason was there because Josslyn feared Sonny would have Dex killed. Jason promised to stop Sonny, but Dex insisted he could protect himself. Jason respected that philosophy but said that wasn't going to stop Jason from keeping his promise to Josslyn. Jason felt that Sonny knew better than to go after a cop -- or at least he had. Dex pointed out that he should have also known better than to go after Cyrus, but he had done it, anyway.

Jason then asked if Dex still had the evidence he'd gathered about Sonny. Dex insisted if he had, he would have given it to Anna. When Jason asked what the evidence had been, Dex told him to ask Michael. Jason quickly said he would not kill Dex, and he would make sure Sonny didn't, either. He reiterated how Sonny had once been cautious, but not anymore.

Dex agreed and finally told Jason all about the Pikeman Group, including how Valentin had set up the entire thing. Dex relayed that Sonny had changed his mind about working with Pikeman after seeing how dangerous their weapons were. Dex had had a recording of the shipment and had made sure the video had been destroyed. Dex also told Jason how Valentin had met with Hume the day someone had tried to kill Sonny at Metro Court. Dex even had a picture of the meeting.

Anna soon showed up at Jason's request. She was surprised to see Jason and Dex together. Dex was also confused as to why Jason had summoned Anna. He was also pleased when Anna handed him his police academy acceptance letter. Dex left, promising Jason he would be good to Josslyn.

When Anna sat down, Jason told her all about Valentin's meeting with Hume. Anna thought that was impossible, as Valentin was supposed to had been in Europe with Laura. When Jason showed Anna the photo with the date stamp, she didn't want to believe it was true. She explained that he had called her the day of the shooting to say he'd been in Geneva.

Anna finally had to accept that Valentin did more for Pikeman than set meetings. She wondered if sending Charlotte to school made it easier for him to do Pikeman's bidding. Anna then called Valentin and said she would love to accept his dinner invitation.
