The Shocking Truth Unveiled: Maxie's Awakening and Nathan's Return
At the hospital, Britt and Nathan discuss the possibility of Anna being right about their father's survival. But here's where it gets controversial... Liesl bursts in with the news that Maxie has awoken from her coma! An overwhelmed Nathan needs a moment to process, but Liesl urges him to call his wife. Britt advises her mom to give Nathan some space, but Liesl insists they're meant to be together.
Meanwhile, Maxie learns from Felicia that Nathan is alive and has been living in Port Charles for months. She can't believe her ears, especially since she witnessed her husband's death and burial. But Felicia reveals that Anna has proof it's really Nathan. Maxie is staggered to learn that Nathan's grave was exhumed and found empty. Felicia fills her in on what Nathan remembers and doesn't about his life.
The working theory? Faison's involvement, as Britt is also alive. Maxie declares it's no coincidence that two of Faison's children have returned around the same time. Felicia assures her that Nathan is doing well, concerned about everyone but himself, and has made progress with James.

However, Alexis and Kristina exchange concerned looks when Molly decides not to publish it to avoid hurting Cody's feelings. Kristina admits to submitting the book without Molly's consent, putting her in a tricky situation. Molly defends her decision, blaming Kristina for the predicament. Alexis steps out to check on Scout's sitter, advising her daughters to work things out. Kristina apologizes, and Molly accepts. They invite Alexis to join them for axe-throwing, but she declines.

He promises to do it more often, and they kiss, witnessed by Molly and Kristina.
Jacinda takes Michael axe-throwing, impressing him with her aim. She teases him to envision Drew's head as the target, and after beating him, calls him "remarkably bad" at the game. Michael loses a bet and owes Jacinda a favor. Kristina observes their flirty vibe.
Carly's Concerns and Spinelli's Fears
Over drinks with Jason at the Brown Dog, Carly complains about Michael's custody deal with Willow and Sonny involving Ric as Michael's attorney. She doesn't trust Ric's agenda. Jason is impressed she's venting to him instead of lecturing Michael. Carly teases, "I think you're rubbing off on me." Spinelli arrives with news about Maxie, and Carly excuses herself. He opens up to Jason about his fears that Maxie will go back to Nathan. Jason reminds him that Maxie chose him when Nathan wasn't an option. Just then, Jason gets an anonymous text with emojis of a boat, snowflake, and heart.
After Jason leaves, Obrecht approaches Spinelli, thanking him for his devotion to Maxie and her family. She chirps that his efforts are no longer needed now that Nathan is back. Spinelli looks stricken, but when Obrecht says true love always finds a way, he agrees and they clink glasses.

At the Metro Court restaurant, Jenz expresses happiness to spend Valentine's Day with Lucy and Ava. Lucy acts unbothered, while Ava is unamused by Lucy's anecdotes. Ava proposes moving to the gallery to discuss art, but Sidwell hopes for Lucy and Ava to become friends. Lucy apologizes sincerely to Ava for judging her past mistakes.
Carly arrives, grateful to Jenz for welcoming her to Wyndemere to mend fences with Lucas. Sidwell smiles, prioritizing his son's happiness. Meanwhile, Alexis encounters Ava, observing her company. Ava says she's interested in a different caliber of man after the "fiasco with Ric." She suggests heading to the gallery with Sidwell, and Lucy encourages them to go without her. Across the room, Carly tells Alexis she respects her efforts to keep Scout with her.
Marco's Confession and Lucas' Betrayal
On the parapet at Wyndemere, Marco nervously asks Lucas how much he overheard. Lucas shoots back that he's heard enough to know he had him all wrong. Inside, Lucas demands answers about the project with Sidwell. Marco looks ashamed as Lucas calls him out for misrepresenting his involvement and threatening Britt. Lucas asks if he's wrong, and Marco tearfully admits he knew about his father's threats. Lucas feels betrayed and accuses Marco of moving them to Spoon Island for easy access to his father's plan.
Marco reveals his mother's death at Sonny's hands, and Lucas understands his desire for justice. But he feels Marco wants revenge, not justice. Lucas refuses to be part of something that ends with Sonny's blood on Marco's hands. Marco lies to protect Lucas, saying he wants him just as much as vengeance. Sobbing, Marco promises to stop if Lucas stays with him. Lucas takes his hand, but a haunted look remains in his eyes.
Will Lucas regret giving Marco another chance? Will Spinelli's fears come true, or will Maxie choose him over Nathan? Will Britt's connection with Jason cost her in the end? Share your thoughts and predictions in the comments!
