Key Takeaways

• Danny lashes out at Rocco over the Cullum shooting.
• Lulu learns the devastating truth about Cassius’ twin deception.

Josslyn Made A Deal With Z

After her surgery, Josslyn woke up to find Z, the head of the WSB, in her hospital room.

She briefed Z on the criminal activities of Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes), Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota), and Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey).

Z agreed that if the public found out Cullum had misled the agency, it would harm the WSB’s reputation.

To protect the WSB, Joss offered to issue a statement blaming Cassius and saying Cullum died a hero, but she wanted something in return.

“I want all charges dropped for Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton),” she said.

Z and Joss shook hands on the deal, and she promised to give her statement immediately.

Carly Was Frustrated

In the meantime, Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) was feeling increasingly frustrated with the WSB’s refusal to allow her to see her daughter, Josslyn.

After Lucas Jones ( Van Hansis) successfully helped his sister regain her composure, she took the opportunity to update him on the dramatic events that had unfolded the previous day on Spoon Island.

With her resolve stronger than ever to secure Josslyn’s release from the WSB’s grasp, Carly made her way to the bureau’s Port Charles field office, ready to confront Z.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Josslyn summoned Lucas to her room, where she expressed to her uncle that she owed him a heartfelt apology.

Vaughn Returned

Agent S. Vaughn (Bryce Durfee) made his way back to Port Charles with the intention of concluding the investigation surrounding Cullum and Sidwell.

His first stop was the PCPD jail, where he sought out Britt Westbourne.

During their conversation, Vaughn reminded Britt of the gravity of her situation, as she could potentially face serious legal repercussions for her involvement in the creation of the cold fusion device.

He urged her to consider cooperating with the ongoing investigation led by the WSB, sharing the critical news that Cullum had met his demise and that Sidwell had been taken into custody.

Liesl Confronted Britt

Britt’s next guest was Liesl, who was distressed that her daughter had never been honest about Cassius pretending to be Nathan West (Ryan Paevey).

Liesl also felt hurt that Britt hadn’t asked her to help reverse-engineer the experimental treatment for Huntington’s disease.

As Britt attempted to justify her actions, she was shocked to learn that her mother had been compelled to finish the cold fusion device on her behalf.

Although Britt expressed regret for keeping secrets once more, Obrecht sensed that her daughter didn’t genuinely desire a relationship with her.

Before leaving in a huff, Liesl declared that she would focus her energy on the child who actually wanted her in his life- namely, Cassius.

Dante, Lulu And Rocco Returned Home

After hearing about Cullum’s death, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna), Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening), and Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) returned home.

Rocco wanted to find Britt to assure her they were safe, but Dante revealed he had her arrested and sent to Port Charles for her safety.

Angered by his parents’ betrayal, Rocco blamed them for any legal or medical issues Britt might face.

While Rocco sulked in his room, Dante informed Lulu that ‘Nathan’ was actually an impostor-Nathan’s twin brother-Lulu was heartbroken to realize her relationship had been built on a lie.

After Dante departed, Rocco came back, eager to see Britt-still shaken by the Cassius news,  Lulu agreed, recognizing that it’s possible to care for someone despite their flaws.

She assured Rocco she wouldn’t prevent him from visiting Britt when the time came.

Molly Represented Charlotte And Danny

Molly went with Charlotte and Danny to the PCPD as their lawyer to get information from Agent Vaughn about their fathers; Vaughn could only say that Jason and Valentin would stay in custody due to the ongoing investigation.

Molly asked Vaughn to help the teens communicate with their fathers, while Charlotte suggested a new plan to Danny.

When Dante arrived to check on Britt, Vaughn introduced himself and requested a private talk with the commissioner.

Dante then went to the jail to inform Britt that although Cullum was dead, it was the WSB’s decision to release her, not his.

Charlotte Asked Lulu For Help With Valentin, And Danny Tore Into Rocco

After seeing Dante at the PCPD and learning her mom was back, Charlotte went home to ask Lulu for help with Valentin.

While waiting on the porch for Charlotte, Danny noticed Rocco sneaking out.

Rocco shared that he wanted to see Britt because he couldn’t leave her behind.

Danny coldly responded, “Of course not. Not after all she’s done for you. Including lying about my dad shooting Cullum when you’re the one who pulled the trigger.”
