Keep on reading for the full story.
Waiting Game
At her house, Carly caught up with Lucas for the first time after he was shot by Sidwell.Carly revealed to her brother that Josslyn was a WSB agent and was being held captive at Wyndemere. She begged him for help getting through the catacombs so that she could retrieve her daughter. She also revealed that Valentin, who had been hiding in her attic for months, was her mystery man.
After Carly explained why Valentin had gone to Geneva and that Cullum was the person holding Josslyn hostage, Lucas confided that Cullum was Marco’s killer! As the siblings realized just how gravely in danger Josslyn was, Carly wanted to go to Wyndemere immediately, but Lucas urged her to give Valentin some time to get results. He then proposed that if they didn’t hear from Valentin or the WSB by the next evening, they’d go to Wyndemere together to rescue Josslyn.
The More You Know
Danny met Charlotte at Laura’s condo. She shared that her parents had found out Rocco and Britt’s location, and once they got Rocco, they were going into hiding. The plan made no sense to Danny and when he pressed Charlotte, she reluctantly revealed that she’d overheard Lulu tell Laura that Rocco had shot Cullum to save Jason’s life, and Jason had gone to jail to protect Rocco. Although her mother didn’t intend for her to know that, Charlotte noted, she felt Danny deserved to know the truth about his dad.
Determined to exonerate his innocent father, Danny wanted to come forward with the truth. Charlotte pleaded with him to keep quiet, pointing out that telling anyone would go against what Jason had intended and put an even bigger target on Rocco’s back. Danny was torn between betraying Charlotte and Rocco or saving his father, especially when Charlotte threatened to write him off if Danny went to anyone with the information. Resolute, Danny said he needed to talk to Alexis, because his grandmother would know how to fix the situation. Charlotte felt betrayed.
Poison Control
Cassius sneaked into the Wyndemere study and stole Britt’s medication from the safe. As he turned around to leave, he saw Cullum in the doorway. When the WSB director asked if Cassius was there to visit his mother, Cassius pretended that he was but agreed with his boss not to distract Obrecht from her work on the project. Cullum asked if he’d received any blowback from the PCPD when Sidwell escaped. Cassius shrugged that he’d merely been reprimanded. Cullum wondered if Cassius had any regrets about tarnishing Nathan’s pristine reputation. Cassius declared that he still planned to disappear from town once the project was up and running, and he didn’t care who or what he left behind.
Later, WSB Agent Harker informed Cullum that after Cassius left Spoon Island, he had gone to the post office (presumably to ship off Britt’s meds) before heading to the Metro Court pool to spend time with James. Cullum remarked that it was interesting that Cassius claimed not to be interested in Nathan’s life but was going out of his way to live it. Cullum went to retrieve Britt’s medication from the safe and saw that the box was empty. He revealed to the other agent that Cassius had taken the bait — the syringes he was sending to his sister had been filled not with her usual treatment but with deadly poison!
Cullum coolly informed Harker that one loose end was tied up now that Britt was doomed to die as a result of the toxin her brother stole, then noted that he still had to deal with another pressing matter: Valentin Cassadine. “Fortunately, he’s left behind two very valuable hostages,” Cullum smirked, as a cutaway revealed exactly who was in his crosshairs: Carly and Charlotte.
Terms and Conditions
In Tortola, Britt amended her arrangement with Rocco now that she was recovered from her fainting spell: Instead of him waiting until she died to go home, she wanted him to leave immediately if her illness took a turn for the worse again. When Rocco protested, insisting that he was going to stay with Britt because she deserved to have someone with her when she died. When Britt argued that she wanted to be alone when the time came, Rocco agreed to her terms, promising Britt that she’d be healthy a lot longer than she thought — but he kept the secret the fact that he’d called home to get a restock on her medication.
Fake It ‘Til You Make It
At the clinic in France, Anna had a session with her therapist, Dr. Laurent. Saying everything that the doctor wanted to hear, Anna claimed that the staff had helped her see the difference between reality and her delusions. She’d created an elaborate fantasy about being kidnapped when she’d really been recalled by the WSB, and she knew that Cesar Faison was dead. Anna convinced her doctor to let her speak with someone from home, so Dr. Laurent called Felicia. During their conversation, Anna asked Felicia to come visit her, and Felicia promised to take a flight the next day. Later, Dr. Laurent told Anna that she was making good progress but still had a long way to go in recovery. Once alone, Anna heaved a sigh of relief that she no longer had to keep pretending. Retrieving a stack of letters from her nightstand, Anna pulled one specific envelope out of a pile.
Pool Party
As Emma played with James at the Metro Court pool, lifeguard Gio told Felicia that his girlfriend was doing okay with Anna’s absence, all things considered. James was thrilled when “Nathan” showed up, and Cassius confided to Felicia that he’d been inspired by their chat to make more time for “his” son. After Felicia got off the phone with Anna, she raved to Emma about how great her grandmother had sounded, and Emma decided to join her aunt in traveling to France. Meanwhile, Cassius sent a text message to Rocco’s burner phone, alerting him that Britt’s medication was on the way.
