Obrecht Agrees to Help Victor Carry Out His Plan — and Anna Deduces His Weapon Is a Biological Agent

Victor and his men arrive at the bunker in Greenland. Victor notes behind a door is the one thing that he’s been working decades towards. They get the door open, and inside is one of Mikkos’ old labs. He instructs one of the men to open a trunk, and the other to fetch the prisoners.

Trina, Spencer and Obrecht are brought in. Spencer calls the place a dump, but Victor says it’s where the future begins. Victor tells them they are about to witness the dawning of a new age. The men break the lock on the chest and open it. From inside Victor pulls out a canister that’s been on ice.

Victor orders Obrecht to get to work on an antidote for the pathogen, but he also needs her to check that it is still viable. Once he knows the pathogen is viable, he will release it into the atmosphere. He explains it is triggered by sunlight, which is why they have kept it down here in the dark for so long.

Obrecht examines it through a microscope and claims it’s degraded and no longer working. Victor says if that’s the case, he wants her to take a vial of it outside and open it. She admits it is intact, but she needs to test it and the antidote on a human subject. Victor says they have plenty of subjects and looks at Spencer and Trina. Spencer begs Obrecht not to do this as Britt’s mother, and he knows she has a conscience. Victor says he’ll sweeten the deal, and send Obrecht home with enough of the antidote to save her family including that great niece of hers. She agrees, and Spencer screams and tries to rush her, but is held at bay by Victor’s men and their guns. Victor reminds Obrecht that Willow is running out of time, so she should work fast.

In Anna’s room at the hospital, Holly relays that Ethan said Victor’s plan is to revive old Cassadine technology from 1980 and has been decades in the making and only people close to Victor would survive. They assume that means his family. Anna knows that technology is likely deadly and means severe consequences for the entire world.

Holly wonders if Victor has a bomb. Anna ponders if he’s saving his loved ones then why take Obrecht, as they had a falling out years ago? Robert theorizes he wants something from her. Anna knows Obrecht was supposed to donate bone marrow to Willow so she wouldn’t have left town willingly with him. She suspects Obrecht is needed for her lab skills. Holly says then the weapon isn’t a bomb. Anna assumes it’s a biological agent, and he needs Obrecht to activate it.

Anna realizes Laura and the others don’t know what they are walking into, and they have to warn them. Robert tries to call Laura, but her and the other’s phones can’t be reached. Anna asks Robert to call the WSB, because Laura will need backup.

At Sonny’s place, over the phone Nina thanks Martin and hangs up. Sonny catches her and asks why she was talking to a lawyer. She says Scott’s been busy, and she wanted to open a trust for her grandchildren, so she contacted Martin.

Nina excuses herself as she has something she needs to get, and Ava arrives with Avery in her flower girl dress. Nina returns and tells Avery how beautiful she is. Sonny and Avery head into the kitchen as Avery asks for a snack.

Ava sees Nina has a box in her hand and asks what it is. Nina explains it’s a bracelet for Willow on her wedding day. Ava tells her that she can’t shower Willow with gifts, and she may think she’s trying to buy her way into her life. Ava tells Nina to honor Willow’s wishes and boundaries.

Sonny and Avery return, and Nina gives the bracelet to Ava to shove in her purse. Nina hugs Sonny and Avery, and Ava lets Sonny know she’ll keep Nina company. They head out, and Ava tells Nina that she did the right thing. Nina wonders why it feels so wrong.

Ava says she can’t do much to help her, and she was reminded by her mother how strong Trina is. Ava knows Nina went to Wyndemere and got into it with Carly. Nina explains she can’t help it when she’s around her. Ava tells her she needs to get used to Carly as she isn’t going anywhere.

They sit down and Ava pours herself a martini. Nina fears she’s running out of time to mend fences with Willow, and rants that if Carly had told the truth months ago then she wouldn’t be in this predicament. She seethes that Carly gets everything and never pays for what she’s done. Ava says life is not fair sometimes. Nina intends to balance those scales.
