Sidwell and Cassius think that their scheming is going well, partly because Maxie's poisoning took out the only person who might have noticed that Cassius wasn't Nathan. Cassius confirms that Britt and Jason were going to split town together, and Sidwell believes that Sonny had Jason kill Marco on his way out. Cassius withholds what he knows about Cullum's shooting and agrees to find out what he can about the investigation into Marco's murder. Britt and Lucas each blame themselves for Marco's death, but they soon put things together and realize that Cullum killed him. Lucas is distraught at the thought that he was saving Cullum's life while Marco was dying. He puts everything on Sidwell, and when he goes to see him, he asks if Sidwell wants to know why Marco died. Brennan presses Nina again to get information out of Charlotte. Nina knows that Charlotte lied when she said she hasn't been in touch with Valentin, but she figures that he's long gone. Brennan warns that if she doesn't get him what he needs, Willow will pay the price. Though it's clear that Nina wants to help Willow, Brennan decides to line up a plan B. He offers Jacinda something that could help Michael clear his name as Drew's suspected shooter if she can get Charlotte to tell her where Valentin is. Willow gets suspicious about Kai and Trina's comments about her phone and Wiley's ringtone and wonders if they were in the house the night of the shooting. She's too preoccupied by that to listen when Nina comes by to talk to her about Brennan. Kai and Trina feel bad about the hit Michael's reputation has taken since Willow's trial, especially since they know that she shot Drew. Unfortunately for them, Willow hears them talking about that. Ezra instructs Laura to hold a press conference to condemn Jason and distance herself from Sonny. As he tells it, it's his idea, not Sidwell's, and it's purely for Laura's safety – Sidwell's so mad at Sonny about Marco's murder that Ezra doesn't want Laura caught in the fallout. Michael notices Drew's blinking habit, and just think about how hilarious would be if he were the first one to realize that Drew is trying to communicate something about Willow. Lulu asks Laura to reach out to her old WSB contacts to find out where Jason is. Never mind that she can't offer up a believable reason for wanting that. When she shares this request with Cassius, he warns her not to give the WSB any reason to dig into what really happened.
"Nathan died the night he was shot." La la la la la la la I can't hear you.
All this time we thought the C who signed the note to Britt was Cullum, but maybe it was Cassius.
Britt and Lucas being allies is so weird.
Why is Ezra trying to help Laura? He can't really care what happens to her. Maybe it's because if Sidwell gets rid of her, it'll be harder for Ezra to stay off his radar.

Sonny agrees with Ezra's decision for Laura to give a press conference denouncing Jason and Sonny. He knows Sidwell is going to retaliate over Marco's murder, and he wants to be the only person in the line of fire. After learning that Ric is Sonny's main ally right now, Laura tells him that she's involved in the Dalton dilemma. Dante questions Cullum about his shooting, and though Cullum insists that Jason was responsible, he admits that he didn't see who shot him. Dante's frustrated that Cullum won't tell him why he wanted to arrest Jason. Later, Cullum is honest with Cassius about knowing that Jason didn't shoot him, but he lies that he had nothing to do with Marco's murder. Brad earns himself a slap by telling Britt that it's better that Jason was arrested before he could do something to break her heart again. She tells him what happened on the docks and enlists him to help her figure out the things she didn't see. They agree that Jason is probably covering for someone, but they can't figure out who it might be. Brad thinks that Britt should respect his wishes to keep the truth hidden. Lulu wants to have Rocco talk to Kevin so he can get help working through his feelings about the shooting. Cassius convinces her that that could lead to Laura finding out, which would make it harder to justify keeping things from Dante, the last person who should know what really happened. Lulu then considers doing some digging into Cullum, and Cassius again has to steer her in another direction. Instead of confronting Sidwell, Lucas pretends that he wants them to help each other through their grief. He even agrees to move back into Wyndemere. Pascal is furious about that and tells Lucas that he should be dead instead of Marco. Ric asks Elizabeth to give him information on Cullum's condition. She thinks it's because of Jason and makes him off-limits as a topic of discussion. Ric tells her that he's just helping Sonny, and if that means helping Jason, too, he'll suck it up and do it. Emma wants to bring Anna back to Port Charles, but Felicia thinks it's better to defer to her doctors and keep her where she is. Rocco confides in Gio that he feels horrible for Danny, who keeps taking hit after hit. Gio advises him to keep showing up for his brother. Dante and Elizabeth both think that Jason's actions the night of the shooting were unlike him. Elizabeth then accidentally tips off Dante that other weird things are going on when she tells him about Rocco's injured hand.
Sonny's teaming with Ric, Britt's teaming with Brad, Lucas is moving back into Wyndemere...is anyone making good decisions right now?
Why did Cullum tell Dante that he didn't see who shot him? Why not make it a slam dunk?
I'm sure that'll be that and Lulu won't do any digging. Good job, Cassius.
Thank you, Emma, for trying to move the Anna plot along. Sorry you failed.

Carly tries to talk Sonny out of going to Marco's funeral, but he and Ric think it's the best way to keep the peace with Sidwell. They're concerned that Sidwell's belief that Sonny killed Marco will lead him to release the photos of Dalton's body, which will harm Laura. They wait until the funeral is over to approach Sidwell so Sonny can try to convince him that he didn't kill Marco. Lucas continues fooling Sidwell into thinking they're buddies. Carly doesn't like the thought of him staying at Wyndemere, but Lucas hints that there's a reason for the decision. Danny got suspended for fighting a kid who talked trash about Jason. Alexis knows he was looking for an excuse to get out some anger, and she worries about him not being open with his family about his feelings. All Danny really cares about is Jason being located and getting out of prison. Nina and Curtis acknowledge that they haven't had much contact since she threw Portia under the bus for Willow. They apologize for their respective betrayals and agree that they don't want them to hurt their friendship. Molly undergoes her procedure, and Cody's waiting when she's done. They're mostly filler, but they're cute filler.
Sonny and Ric might have been right to go to the funeral. Sidwell probably won't kill Sonny in a church.
Not even a mention of Blaze?
Maybe Hank is a jerk because he's mad that he's a teenager named Hank.
Loopy Molly was fun. I'm glad they didn't have her reveal anything she didn't want Cody to know.
