On the island of Crete, Anna and Valentin grab dinner at the hotel and she wants to work on retracing Chloe’s steps. Valentin suggests they take a night off for some drinking. As they sip their beverages, he broods about being back in Greece and his past obsession with taking his place as the Cassadine heir. He admits part of what drove him was to prove himself to Anna after he thought she rejected him. After all this time he finally feels free to pursue her and says she’s gorgeous.

Obrecht’s been sent to check him over, and to give him some antibiotics, and reveals that Peter August is the one responsible for his original abduction. She fills him in on Peter’s relationship with Maxie, and how he had to make Drew disappear so he couldn’t expose his past misdeeds. She goes on to say Peter even framed her for all his crimes, including Drew’s death, and she was tossed in Steinbauer for a while.

She explains it was Victor who kidnapped her on the way to try to kill Peter. Drew doesn’t understand what is in this for Victor. Obrecht assumes Peter has something that Victor needs, and once he gets it, Victor will likely end Peter’s life. Drew reveals his plan to escape, which she’s on board with.
