Josslyn saves Kristina

The patrons at the Metro Court pool were stunned when they saw a woman come through a window and plunge into the pool. Josslyn jumped into the water to pull the woman out, and everyone was horrified to see it was Kristina.

As Natalia comforted a hysterical Blaze, and Brook Lynn called for help, Trina looked up and saw a shocked Ava standing by the window. Ava quickly closed the curtains and called Scott for help. "I need you like I've never needed you before," Ava said.

Gio helped Josslyn get Kristina onto a backboard and out of the pool. Finally, Dante and the paramedics arrived. Dante assured his unconscious sister that she would be okay. Chase ordered the pool to be locked down, and he checked on Brook Lynn.

Josslyn stayed with Kristina in the ambulance while Natalia drove Blaze to General Hospital so they could meet Kristina when she got there. Kristina opened her eyes en route to the hospital and asked how the baby was. She didn't remember what had happened, so Josslyn explained it all and assured her that she was in good hands.

Dante questions Ava

Back at the pool, Dante tried to figure out what had happened. He looked up at the window and wondered why the curtains were closed and intact, even after Kristina had taken her fall. "You're right. Someone must have closed them after she fell. Kristina wasn't alone in that room," Chase said.

Dante dropped into Ava's room. She said she'd known he would show up eventually. Ava was ready to answer questions and explained that Kristina had stopped by. Ava said she had thought Kristina would help Ava with her custody suit. Ava told Dante that Scott had subpoenaed Kristina, and Kristina had been furious about it. Ava relayed how she and Kristina had argued, but she claimed that Kristina had become physical and tried to attack her.

Ava told Dante that Kristina had lunged at her before tripping over Ava's shoes and falling out the window. She even claimed the curtains had already been closed. Dante didn't believe Ava, since his sister wasn't a violent person. Dante informed Ava that a witness had seen her close the curtains after Kristina had fallen. Ava lied some more and said she'd opened them and then closed them again because she hadn't wanted to look down at what had happened. "I don't know. It was such a blur. Maybe the curtains were open," Ava said frantically.

Dante accused Ava of lying about everything, but Ava insisted that she was telling the truth. Dante didn't believe Kristina had fallen out a hotel window just from tripping over a pair of shoes. Ava didn't want to tell Dante that Kristina had really tripped over John's duffel bag. Dante still accused Ava of lying and arrested her for assaulting Kristina.

Sonny learns the news; Brook Lynn freaks out

In his office, Sonny tried to get Lois to talk another time, but she insisted they needed to chat right then and there about the record company he was funding for Brook Lynn. She asked Sonny if the money he planned to invest was legit, and he insisted that it was. Sonny finally got Lois to let the subject go. She told him she hated leaving things they way they were, but it was how it had to be for the time being. Soon after Lois left, Gio called Sonny to tell him about Kristina.

Back at Metro Court, Brook Lynn was shaken up and needed to catch her breath in the ladies' room. That was where Lois found her. She had heard someone had fallen through a window, and she was shocked to learn it was Kristina. Brook Lynn praised both Josslyn and Gio for their rescue efforts. Lois worried about Sonny because he'd already been upset when she'd left him earlier.

In the pool area, Gio tried to be a friend to Trina as she told him all about how Ava had been her mentor. She knew Ava had done some bad things, but she knew a softer side of Ava. "She's always had my back. She's always been there for me. I've always had my doubts about her, but I stick up for her because I feel like she's more than the mistakes she's made in the past. But now, maybe I was right to doubt her," Trina said as she looked up at the window.

T.J. and Alexis argue before learning Kristina's fate

T.J. and Alexis stood in the hallway at the hospital, talking about the baby situation. T.J. feared that Kristina would fight for custody of the baby and win, since she was the biological mother. Alexis assured him he was getting ahead of himself, but she reminded T.J. that she had no control over what Kristina would end up doing. T.J. wanted to put all possibilities on the table and find a solution right then and there.

As Alexis tried to calm T.J., he had one important question. "What are you going to do when Kristina tries to take our baby?" T.J. asked.

Alexis begged T.J. not to make her choose between her daughters. He understood, but he also felt desperate. Alexis asked T.J. not to force the issue, but T.J. couldn't get what Kristina had said about being better parents than him and Molly out of his mind. He knew Kristina had legal claims to the baby, and Alexis told him that "the law is the law, and there is nothing I can do about it." T.J. was incredulous and called her a coward.

"I warned everyone from the very beginning. This was my biggest fear," Alexis said, referring to the red flags she had sent up about Kristina being the egg donor and the surrogate. T.J. was sure there was something Alexis could do. He wanted her to at least talk to Kristina and make sure she knew what keeping the baby would do to her relationship with Molly.

Alexis and T.J.'s conversation came to an abrupt stop when they saw Kristina being wheeled in. They were stunned but let the doctors get to work. Blaze and Natalia soon arrived, but there was no update on Kristina and the baby's condition.

Alexis broke down crying as soon as Sonny arrived. She threw herself into his arms. After Alexis wiped away her tears, Josslyn explained everything that had happened since she had seen Kristina fly out the window. Natalia told Sonny that Josslyn had saved Kristina's life.

The doctor soon arrived with news. Kristina had suffered multiple internal injuries, and the baby was in distress, so they were prepping Kristina for an emergency C-section.
