Dex Makes a Decision About His Future — Plus, Haven Tries to Sabotage Sasha for Ratings

On the roof of the hospital, Dex tells Joss that he has to say goodbye and that he’s leaving Port Charles. He informs her that Michael backed out of their deal and isn’t sending Sonny to prison. Joss asks how he could do this. Dex explains Michael did it so as to not cause a permanent rift in their family. Dex says leaving is his only option, so Joss says she’s going with him.

Dex refuses to allow Joss to give up her family and her life for him. He knows being on the run might be exciting at first, but eventually, she’d regret leaving everything and everyone behind. Joss is conflicted because she likes him, and doesn’t want this to be over. She also doesn’t want him to die or go to prison.

Dex doesn’t want to lose Joss either, and they embrace. She asks Dex to stay and says they’ll figure something out. He asks, “Even if I continue working for Sonny?” She notes just for now, and they’ll come up with a solution. Dex agrees to stay because he can’t imagine not seeing her again.
