Friday’s episode sets the stage for an alliance no one saw coming — Drew Cain may finally land on a sidekick.

After months of manipulation, threats and broken loyalty, Drew is suddenly presented with a glimmer of hope: one of the people who despises him could be offering a hand.

The question hanging over Port Charles is not just who, but why.

The spoiler hints strongly that his new ally might be Ronnie Bard. She and he have rarely been seen on the same side, yet the last time they crossed paths, Drew whipped out a deal—promising his services and pushing for a chance.

Now, Ronnie’s watching, listening, weighing her options. Is she aligning with Drew to dismantle someone else’s empire — like the Quartermaines? Or is she using him as a pawn in her own power play? Either way, this move puts both their reputations on shaky ground.

Meanwhile, the rest of Port Charles braces for impact. Michael Corinthos continues to escalate his plan, aware that Willow’s absence from town gives him more maneuvering room. He knows Drew’s desperation and can smell this alliance from miles away. If Drew and Ronnie merge forces, Michael’s map might change drastically.

At the same time, Brook Lynn Quartermaine receives bittersweet news — a moment of calm amidst the chaos that nevertheless feels ominous. Jason offers support to someone in need, proving that even in a week dominated by betrayal, some threads of loyalty still pull strong.

For Drew, this is a turning point. He’s used to being isolated, playing every angle alone. Now, having an ally means risk — but also possibility. In Port Charles, alliances are fragile, and when they form between the unlikeliest of pairs, the ground shifts beneath everyone’s feet. Will this bond serve Drew’s redemption, or will it set him up for a deeper fall? By week’s end, one thing’s clear: Port Charles has rewritten its rulebook again, and the survivors won’t be the same.
