At the warehouse, Jason finds Anna waiting in his office. He assumes she talked to Carly. Anna rants that Carly could blow up this entire operation and get herself sent to prison. She tells him that Carly told Brennan that Cates is investigating him and Pikeman.
Anna believes the next logical step is for Brennan to reach out to whoever is running Pikeman, and they can use Carly’s mistake to their advantage. She feels Valentin is also an option to find out more about Pikeman as he’s involved with them. She wonders if they should tell Cates what they are doing, but Jason would rather not, and she agrees.

At The Metro Court, Valentin sits at the bar. He gets a call from the pharmacist, who says their deal is off and Sonny’s wife is onto them. He explains that Sonny’s wife came to his office with a lot of questions, and she knows he’s not on the correct dose. Valentin says he’d be arrested already if she turned him in, which means she hasn’t. Valentin asks the man to describe her, and the pharmacist says she is blonde and beautiful, and that’s all he remembers.

Valentin sees Nina and approaches her with some updates on Charlotte. Valentin said he also heard rumblings and asks if she has reconciled with Sonny.

Anna turns the subject to Valentin, their history, and his redemption. He says Charlotte has made him a better person, but you can never fully close the door on one’s past.

In Drew’s office, he and Jordan discuss the riverfront revitalization project. He shows her the first draft of plans he came up with. She says it’s not big enough, and this proposal may not get off the ground with the funders in DC if it’s not perfect. She feels they should scrap the parking lot and connect the light rail to the old track along the riverfront, making it a transportation project as well, which means grants will pour in.
Jordan also thinks they should turn the harbor into a ferry port with quick transportation to Canada, making Port Charles a major destination hub. He says she’s brilliant, and they should celebrate. The Congressman arrives and asks what they are celebrating. He wasn’t expecting to see Jordan today, and she says she was just heading out, but congratulates him on the new project.
Jordan takes off, and the Congressman tells Drew he didn’t come to talk about the project. He asks why he should get in bed with a convicted criminal. The Congressman has done his research on him and asks why he didn’t think he would find out. Drew insists he wasn’t going to keep this from him, but he knew if he led with his conviction, the Congressman wouldn’t have considered this project. He says if his name is a problem, then he’ll hand the project over to his nephew Michael. He believes in this project and wants to better Port Charles as his daughter is growing up here.
The Congressman tells Drew, “Fun fact you can be convicted of a federal offense and still serve in the House of Representatives.” He wants to leave his seat to someone worthy, someone like him. Drew doesn’t think he has the pedigree for politics. The Congressman says politics isn’t for the faint of heart, and his being rich doesn’t hurt as it means he won’t have to bow down to the lobbyist. Drew doubts people will vote for a criminal. The Congressman says everyone loves a comeback story, and he is a cowboy hero in a way. However, he’ll need more than a feel-good story, he’ll need his backing. He says if he endorses Drew, his party will fall in line. Drew is flattered but never considered a career in politics. The Congressman tells him to consider it as he could do great things. He also might want to change his name to Quartermaine.

He says it can’t, and he’s here about Sonny. He wants to know if anyone has made Sonny any business offers lately. She says he doesn’t talk about his business with her. Cates finds that hard to believe, as she was once in the Jerome Organization, and she lives with him. He asks what her end game is, is she in love with Sonny, or is she looking to take over his organization. She says her only interest is co-parenting their daughter. Cates tells her that Sonny is a person of interest to the FBI, and now so is she, so if she feels she’s being watched, she is!
