Port Charles was rocked by two major storylines on Tuesday’s episode: the grisly discovery of a dead body in the river and a shocking assassination attempt on Congressman Drew Cain.

Dead Body Alert in Port Charles Early in the episode, Rocco Falconeri and Danny Morgan stumbled upon a floating corpse near Spoon Island following a confrontation in Carly Corinthos’s office. The victim was later identified as Judge Heran, the jurist entangled in Michael Corinthos’s custody battle over Wiley and Amelia. Sonny Corinthos rushed to the scene and immediately suspected foul play, noting that he had not reached the judge first and fearing another player was manipulating events behind the scenes.

Drew Cain Shot Twice in the Back Later, Drew Cain returned home tooyed that he and Willow Tait were on the brink of reconciling and regaining custody of her children. As he reflected on his future and clutched Lila Quartermaine’s heirloom engagement ring, an unseen assailant fired two close-range shots into his back. Trina Robinson and Kai stayed hidden in the shadows, witnessing the attack before Carly’s former fiancé collapsed face-first on the floor.

Port Charles on High Alert Following the shooting, Anna Devane and Dante Falconeri were dispatched to Drew’s residence after a panicked 911 call. Port Charles’s tight-knit community was immediately thrust into a “whodunnit” mystery, with suspects ranging from betrayed allies to vengeful enemies. Meanwhile, tensions continued to simmer as Elizabeth Webber and Carly Corinthos grappled with loyalty and trust amid escalating violence.
