As this memory resurfaces, it’s clear that Kristina may know more than she’s letting on—and she could be in big trouble if the truth comes out.
Meanwhile, Ava Jerome is digging deep into the car crash that nearly killed Rick and Elizabeth. Her instincts prove correct when her investigation uncovers that the car’s brakes were deliberately cut.

The sabotage is undeniable, and Ava now suspects that the wrong person might have been targeted—was she the intended victim instead?

The drop-off was a test of loyalty, and she passed with flying colors. Now, Brennan gives her a real mission—her first taste of the field is just beginning.

Drew’s willing to fund a groundbreaking medical procedure to help Kai play football again, but Curtis fears Drew is filling the young man’s head with false hope.

Trina, caught in the middle, reminds them that the decision should ultimately rest with Kai himself.
Elsewhere, Elizabeth Baldwin is grappling with her injury and the harsh reality of a long recovery. Frustrated by her limited mobility, she vents to Lucky Spencer.

Carly, on the other hand, is trying to find balance in her personal life. She pleads with Jason Morgan to trust her judgment about Jack Brennan. Though Jason is hesitant—still scarred from past losses—he agrees to give her space. But he warns her: if she’s wrong, they’ll face the fallout together.
