Elsewhere in town, Laura Collins shares a tense scene with her grandson, Rocco Falconeri. Laura appears to be cautioning Rocco to steer clear of a specific individual, unable to hide her anger as she declares that he is “a VERY vindictive man!”
The warning seems focused on Scout Cain, with Laura warning Rocco about Scout’s father, Drew Cain. Thanks to Drew’s control, Scout has been isolated from anyone connected to her late mother, Sam McCall, including her own brother, Danny Morgan. It appears Rocco may be turning to his grandmother to ask how he can help Scout navigate her isolation, prompting Laura’s fierce, protective warning.
Drew Cain and Ava Jerome Plot Sonny’s Downfall
Speaking of Drew, his scheming behavior is on full display as he sits down for drinks with Ava Jerome. Drew makes a bold promise to the blonde, assuring her that together they have what it takes to completely bring Sonny Corinthos down.
Both co-conspirators have strong motives for wanting Sonny eliminated from the board. Ava is desperate to neutralize Sonny now that he is actively pushing for sole custody of their daughter, Avery Jerome-Corinthos. Meanwhile, Drew is focused on wiping out business competition ahead of the upcoming auction for the incarcerated Jenz Sidwell’s seized properties. Drew already has a calculated strategy in mind to clear the field and simply needs Ava’s full cooperation to execute it.
Sonny Corinthos Confronts Jenz Sidwell at Pentonville
Unaware of the joint trap being set for him, Sonny pays a surprise visit to Jenz Sidwell inside Pentonville Prison. Having left his former life in the mob behind, Sonny is shifting his focus toward legitimate corporate power, with reclaiming his piers for Corinthos Coffee serving as a vital first step.
Face-to-face with his imprisoned enemy, Sonny hints that he has discovered a bold new way of doing business. The two foes trade sharp barbs across the table, with Sonny even mocking Sidwell’s legal troubles by remarking that beige is definitely not his color, referencing the standard Pentonville prison uniforms.
As Sonny faces down his rival behind bars while Drew and Ava build a coalition against him, the balance of power in Port Charles hangs by a thread. Will Drew and Ava’s joint plot successfully crush Sonny’s new business ambitions, or will Sonny’s new strategy keep him one step ahead of his enemies?
