We're probably not supposed to consider all these complications.
I agree, there was no valid reason for Chase to arrest Tracy on camera,
nor for Chase to be the arresting officer at all. The predictably
obstinate refusal on Tracy's part to step aside when Chase requested it
is no reason not to wait one minute for her to be off camera. And it
does seem like Chase and Dante represent the entire PCPD in almost every
situation.
Handcuffing did seem unnecessary there. She is elderly and was
completely compliant.
Ned and Tracy's relationship is so complicated, I was not surprised that
he did not rush to help her. It's likely she would not rush to help him
were the situation reversed.
I believe it was mentioned who summoned Jason. It's likely that's who
called Diane.
No one in Port Charles ever seems to have any difficulty obtaining
whatever drug (commonplace, exotic or completely fictional) the plot
calls for. I hope it's not so easy in real life. I was wondering if the
Quartermaines just leave their vehicles accessible and unlocked. I'd
expect a wealthy family like them to have the cars locked with an active
alarm system inside a locked garage when not in use.

Now that Drew is a Congressman, he must know Elon Musk.  Must be his
source.

The story of Elon’s epic Ketamine and drug use is being well covered today,
multiple media sources

And then the next day, Tracy pointed out to Ned that he had not
performed his duties as a good son because he'd failed to accompany her
to the police station or even to inquire about her well-being while in
custody. And Ned's response was so lame that it couldn't even have
passed with crutches. "I was monitoring the news about the arrest on my
phone," and "I called the station but they said you weren't available to
talk." LOL! If I were Tracy and Ned were my son, he'd be out of the
will. :/

If the Qs locked their garage, it would be the only secured structure on
the property. People barge into the main house without knocking 24/7,
not only through the front door, but through the kitchen door and patio
doors as well. Boat house and dock? Wide open 24/7. Ditto the gatehouse,
where people not only barge in, they also feel free to peer through
windows to see what's happening inside. (Qs don't close their blinds,
either.)

But the Qs aren't the only ones lax about security. When Lucas "brought
the Nurses' Ball" to Liz the other day, he knocked on the door and she
said, "Come in!" The door was unlocked, she's there alone with a cast on
her leg, she wasn't expecting Lucas and had no idea who had knocked on
the door. Really, Liz? Who in their right mind calls out "come in!" when
someone knocks on their door? At night! For that matter, who in their
right mind leaves their doors unlocked? Given the amount of crime that
goes on in PC, and that the city seems to be the base for every crime
family on the east coast, you'd think.... <shrug>

Maybe Obrecht supplied the ketamine.

I would love to see her return. Have some sort of scenes with Brennan
perhaps.
Scotty has been gone a long time, too.
