At Sonny's, Lois observed that Sonny had barely eaten anything at dinner, so she wanted to check in with him. She advised him that he could tell her anything, and she wouldn't judge him. Sonny admitted that he was terrified Dante wouldn't make it. He added that if Jason had shot Dante, he would never forgive Jason or himself. He thought that Jason could have forgotten what it was like to be loyal to Sonny, and that Jason's relationship with Carly while Sonny was in Nixon Falls could have broken some trust. He regretted that the last thing he'd said to Dante was, "Stop being in my way," but Lois insisted that Dante knew that Sonny loved him.
At the hospital, Kristina tapped on the window of Dante's room, and Sam emerged. Kristina checked in with Sam, who admitted that she was scared, confused, and still trying to process things. They talked about Jason, and Sam was afraid that Jason really had been the one to shoot Dante. Just then, Sam spotted Danny rounding the corner, and he admitted that Yuri had driven him there. Sam realized that she hadn't really talked to Danny about everything, and she figured that he had questions. She confessed that she didn't have any answers for him, but only Jason could give the answers.
Kristina chimed in that Jason was innocent until proven guilty, no matter what the evidence said. Sam hoped that Dante would tell them what had happened once he woke up, but she didn't know when that would be. She made Danny promise to go back to the Quartermaines' and stay out of trouble. She hugged him and went back into Dante's room. Kristina offered to give Danny a ride back, and they decided to stop for doughnuts on the way.
Anna was listening to Jason's 9-1-1 call in the interrogation room when Molly entered. Molly revealed that her office wanted an update on Dante's shooting and how it related to the shot taken at Sonny earlier that night. There were multiple working theories, but neither woman was convinced that Jason had shot Dante, regardless of what the evidence said. Both women admitted some conflict of interest regarding Jason but also that neither was in the right job if they let it influence them. They speculated on what had been going through Jason's mind, but Anna said that it could all be moot if Jason was no longer in the area, which was a possibility. She thought there could be something going on that she wasn't yet seeing.
There was a knock on Carly's door, and she was annoyed to see that it was Jagger. He asked for her help proving that Jason was innocent, so she let him in. He wondered why she was so sure that he hadn't shot Dante, and she replied that it was because she knew him. He asked why Jason would run if he was innocent, and Carly figured that Jason didn't want to be arrested for something he hadn't done. She was done with the conversation, so she ordered Jagger out of her house until he got a warrant. He observed that his mention of Jason seemed to get under her skin every time, and he left.
Jason woke up in the boathouse as Michael entered, and Michael advised Jason to let him and Willow take care of Jason. He had clean clothes for Jason, so Jason changed. When he removed his shirt, Michael noticed a sleeve of tattoos, and he wondered what had happened to Jason. Jason mentioned to Michael that he would need his old clothes back, as he wanted no link between himself and Michael when he was gone. Michael asked where Jason would go, but Jason hadn't figured that out yet.
Michael wondered where Jason had been. Jason revealed that he hadn't died in the tunnel collapse on Cassadine Island, but it had been blocked, so he hadn't been able to get back to Britt and the others. He'd followed the tunnel out another way to a beach, and he'd made his way toward the main house. Two men with guns had been waiting for him, and he'd been flown out of Greece, ending up in a room with no windows. A man had needed Jason to do a job, and he'd had the leverage to force Jason to agree. He revealed that he'd been working as a mercenary ever since.
Jason continued that he'd been working with a sniper named Hamish. When Jason had found out that Sonny had been the target, he'd made sure that Hamish had missed. He went on that Dante had caught up to them as they'd headed to the waterfront, and Michael knew the rest. He assured Michael that he'd thought about returning to Port Charles every day, but he'd had to finish -- or something he couldn't live with would happen.
Drew arrived at Willow's and informed her that he and Carly had broken up. Willow poured some wine for them as he talked about how Carly's first loyalty would always be to Jason, and he hadn't wanted her to stay with him out of obligation. Willow thought that he was underestimating himself, but he hadn't wanted to drag things out. She thought that he deserved better, and he intended to find it.
Michael returned, and he figured that Willow could update him. Drew hugged the two of them and left. Willow informed Michael about the breakup. She grabbed the duffel bag with Jason's dirty clothes so she could wash them. Michael made sure that she was all right with the situation, and she replied that, while she wouldn't have chosen it, they had to see things through.
Jason was relaxing in the boathouse and thinking about his situation. He thought back to being handcuffed in a windowless room and watching as a man entered. Jagger had welcomed Jason to Quantico, but Jason had refused to speak without his lawyer. Jagger replied that Jason only had to listen, as Jagger had "incontrovertible proof of RICO violations" that could carry a 20-year federal prison sentence.
