Maxie’s Medical Emergency
As Maxie fainted, Lucy Coe quickly called for help, leading to the arrival of paramedics. Medical professionals later confirmed that Maxie was experiencing a heart attack, which alarmed Lucy due to Maxie’s history of heart issues, including a past transplant. In a state of panic, Brook Lynn Quartermaine notified Spinelli, who rushed to the hospital to be by Maxie’s side.
The scene focused on the jar of night cream, raising questions about whether it played a role in triggering Maxie’s heart condition. Fortunately, doctors Liz and Lucas were able to stabilize her, but the incident left many wondering about the implications of the new product.

Meanwhile, tensions were running high at the Metro Court as Carly Corinthos confronted Nina Reeves over the turmoil caused by Nina’s actions, particularly regarding Willow and Michael’s situation. Their heated exchange escalated quickly, with Carly accusing Nina of ruining Willow’s life by keeping crucial information hidden. Nina retaliated with taunts, igniting further conflict.
As the argument intensified, Brook Lynn interrupted to inform Lulu about Maxie’s emergency, but the confrontation culminated in Carly shoving Nina into the pool after a particularly heated moment.
Family Tensions and Allegations
At Sonny Corinthos’ home, Michael discussed his recent conflicts with Diane, explaining how he felt manipulated into a confrontation with Drew.

In an unexpected twist, Drew reported Michael to Anna Devane and Turner, claiming he had been assaulted. This revelation added another layer of complexity to their already strained relationships, with Drew seeming to relish the leverage this situation might provide him.
