In one of the opening scenes, we have Ethan and Lulu at the Brown Dog, discussing Cassius. Ethan draws a parallel to his own life, vaguely
mentioning falling for the victim of a con you are working. This sparked
some speculation. Does he mean Delilah was his mark? Or, was she a con artist, too? Or were they both cons, working a sting?

Now we know whose gloved hand we saw at Wyndemere while Brennan was
searching for the safe? It wasnrCOt Tristan, after all. Val is one of the
few who could have gotten on the island without being observed. Only, not
much he can do with the box, as it is set to self destruct upon tampering.
Val will eventually have to make some sort of deal with BrennanrCa.

rCaWho is finally completing the predicted rCLswitch beaus arcrCY we all predicted. Kissing Nina. How far will it go?

Finally, we have Trina in high dudgeon that Joss lied about her involvement with the WSB. I thought it was odd Joss came clean, rather than giving
Trina a cover story. I also chuckled a little at TrinarCOs condition that to remain friends, Joss should never lie again.

I wonder when Trina will fess up how she was sneaking around with Kai
gathering info on DrewrCOs shooting. I guess all she has to do is say rCLpopcornrCY, and she will be let off the hook.

TBD. It could be that he wasn't referring to Delilah at all, but to Ava,
or to any of his previous romantic "entanglements." He's not exactly
been a model boyfriend, to put it mildly, and his romances have usually
started with him trying to con or gaslight someone.

Now we know whose gloved hand we saw at Wyndemere while Brennan was

Yes, because he has that Helmet of Invisibility thing...oh wait, that's
Hades. So easy to confuse Val with Hades....

Only, not
much he can do with the box, as it is set to self destruct upon tampering. Val will eventually have to make some sort of deal with Brennana.

I can't see him trying to deal with Brennan, but maybe. I *can* see him
sitting with Carly and Moss at Carly's kitchen island, scratching their
heads trying to come up with a password that Brennan might have used.

What happens next will be based on the consequences of Drew's criminal shenanigans being exposed, and that could go several ways. Drew's
"stroke" symptoms are fading, and he'll soon be walking and talking. The evidence inside the box that he embezzled federal funds might stop him
talking, but he won't be above getting evensies with Willow another way.
If Carly and Val manage to guess Brennan's password and see the evidence against Drew, what would they do with it? OTOH, will Brennan be willing
to strike a deal with Val to let him open the box and have Val see the
evidence against Drew when Brennan is involved up to his eyeballs with
Nina and Willow? What would be the consequences for Brennan if Val and
Carly had that evidence, or at least knew what it was?

aWho is finally completing the predicted oswitch beaus arco we all
predicted. Kissing Nina. How far will it go?

Ugh. It's already gone too far.

Finally, we have Trina in high dudgeon that Joss lied about her involvement with the WSB. I thought it was odd Joss came clean, rather than giving
Trina a cover story. I also chuckled a little at TrinaAs condition that to remain friends, Joss should never lie again.

I wonder when Trina will fess up how she was sneaking around with Kai gathering info on DrewAs shooting. I guess all she has to do is say opopcorno, and she will be let off the hook.

The whole scene was ridiculous. To start, Joss seemed surprised to see
Trina at the hospital and asked her if she was okay. Really? Trina
visits her mother at the hospital all the time! Then, already off the
rails, things pitched completely over the cliff. These girls are barely
out of their teens, and Joss isn't far out of her Child of the Corn
phase, but they said things to each other (with straight faces!) that a seasoned international spy *could* say but would never say to an old
college buddy after they were both retired and had run into each other
in a bar. Except for the popcorn thing, which is the only word of that
silly conversation that could realistically come up between two girls
barely out of their teens. And of course, the first time one of them
pulls the popcorn thing, the other won't rest until she finds out what's
behind it.

Too many people already know she is an agent to make undercover work
viable.

Sort of interesting that Michael hasnrCOt been read in on popcorn yet, nor
has he gone to see her in the hospital, that we know of. Or Donna.

Right! Why would she be assigned undercover work in her own backyard in
the first place? It's ridiculous. Back in the day when the WSB first
became a thing on GH, none of the agents were secret. Robert Scorpio,
Sean Donely, Anna Devane, Frisco Jones--everyone knew they were spies.
None of them pretended to be something they weren't. There were no
cutesy "safe" words between friends. And they were all mature adults,
not silly college students whose only stealth work prior to kick boxing
their way into a spy agency involved sneaking a boyfriend into their
dorm room. Sorry for the rant, but this Secret Agent Joss thing really
irks me.

Or anyone, other than Carly. Apparently Michael's time is taken up
plotting against Willow and lounging around the Metro Court pool in his
swim trunks. And Donna hasn't been seen in months--probably because
she's been recruited into the WSB and has gone off to do kick box
training with Vaughan.
