There’s tension in the air at Port Charles, and it’s not just the kind that lingers after heartbreak.

Anna Devane is spiraling into dangerous territory again — and this time, her instincts may be the only thing keeping her alive.

Ever since she discovered a strange connection between the recent WSB leaks and the ghost of Cesar Faison’s network, Anna has been consumed by a single question: who’s still pulling the strings?

Her search leads to an unexpected encounter with Valentin Cassadine, who appears at her door late at night with a proposal that feels part confession, part warning.

Valentin’s charm has always masked his darker motives, but there’s something different now — a tension that borders on desperation.

He insists he’s not her enemy, that someone inside the Bureau is setting them both up. Anna, ever the seasoned spy, doesn’t buy it.

Still, when a mysterious file lands on her desk — one that connects a past Faison operation with a current Port Charles insider — she realizes Valentin might be the only person who can help her survive what’s coming.

Meanwhile, Britt Westbourne finds herself dragged into the storm. After overhearing a conversation between Valentin and an anonymous caller, Britt begins to suspect that the Cassadines are preparing for something big — something that could reshape every power dynamic in town. Her curiosity leads her to a chilling discovery, one that forces her to make a dangerous call to Anna, just as the trap is about to spring.

By the end of the episode, alliances are fractured and old ghosts return. Anna’s trust is tested, Valentin’s loyalty questioned, and Port Charles teeters on the edge of another deadly revelation. In a city where secrets are currency and love is a liability, one wrong move could mean everything — and this time, even Anna Devane might not see the betrayal coming.
