Anna and Valentin are taken captive and Victor is told it’s clear for him to come in. Victor enters and tells his son, “Valentin, you’re alive, but for how long?” Victor asks his associate if there is any sign of Lucy, but he says there isn’t and there is an open window in the bedroom. Victor says no matter, he’ll deal with her later. He orders Valentin to give him the Ice Princess necklace, the real one. Valentin says last he heard it was destroyed. Victor lashes out at Valentin for rejecting him, lying to him, and siding with his enemies. Victor says he even faked his own death, and he spent weeks mourning him. He seethes he should kill him right now, but he’s giving him one more chance to step up as a Cassadine and give him the necklace.

Victor says it devastates him that his son has turned on him, but fortunately, he’s found a new heir apparent. He draws his gun and points it at Valentin, telling him his betrayal broke his heart, but shifts his aim and shoots Anna in the chest.
