Gio and Emma came back to the Quartermaine mansion, where Tracy wanted to give Gio one of Edward's paintings. However, she wouldn't give it to him as long as he was living at Sonny's place. Since the items were still at Drew's house, Tracy thought it was the perfect time to retrieve them.

Tracy had a copy of Drew's house key made because she felt like it was a necessary evil. She received a call from the people who were supposed to get the items, but they were scared of the snowstorm.

Tracy needed it handled immediately. Willow could return at any moment. Gio and Emma agreed to help Tracy retrieve the items while she still had time.

Josslyn thanked Brick for stopping by and asked him for advice on how to cut power to Spoon Island. Brick wanted to know why Josslyn would want to know that, so she fed him a story about doing it for a school project. Josslyn lied to Brick, claiming it was entirely theoretical.

Brick informed Josslyn that locating the map posed a security risk and that she'd need proper security clearance to accomplish the task.

Later on, Josslyn arrived at the power grid, ready to put her plan into action. She caused an explosion that cut the power to the entire island.

Jack asked Carly if he should be worried about Brick winning her over. When Lulu and Charlotte arrived at the Metro Court, Carly asked Jack to step aside for a bit. She didn't want to leave him alone for long, so she invited Lulu and Charlotte to continue their talk at Bobbie's.

Lulu took a call, which gave Charlotte an opening to ask for an update on Valentin. Carly was apologetic that Charlotte was kept so far away from her father, but Charlotte needed more. She asked Carly to come up with a reason for her to go to her home so she could see Valentin.

Carly was sure that any excuse for Charlotte to come home would raise suspicions. Charlotte wished she could help Valentin, but Carly told her to respect her father's wishes, which meant staying away from Sidwell.

Lulu came back and said the snowstorm was coming sooner than they thought, so her police detail had to leave. Charlotte joked that now no one would be able to watch her every move while she put on lip gloss.

Jack summoned Nina to the Metro Court, and he demanded that she find a way to get Charlotte alone to pump her for information about Valentin. Nina lied to Jack, telling her it was a waste of time because Charlotte hadn't seen her father.

Jack reminded her that he made the traffic cam footage of Willow disappear, so she needed to follow his commands. Nina had no way out of this.

Nina tried to use double jeopardy to avoid Jack's demands, but he argued back. Even though Willow couldn't be tried again, Jack said he could still ruin her reputation, which might hurt her custody case against Michael.

Nina approached Lulu and asked for a moment of her time. She wanted to discuss Charlotte, and with Valentin on the run, she wanted to spend some quality time with her. Every panicked however once they realized that Charlotte was missing. At first they assumed Valentin could've grabbed her. Then Lulu recalled Charlotte wanting to spend time with her horse before the snow hit.

Sonny asked Jason if he planned to have Britt followed, but Jason was already convinced that she was working on Faison's final project. Britt was in genuine danger, and she was in far over her head. Sonny warned Jason that Britt was exactly where she wanted to be. No saint. Plenty of deception in her past.

Jason was confident in Britt's innocence, but Sonny wanted him to think things through. Jason told Sonny that Britt was genuinely scared, which prompted Sonny to point out how easily Britt could betray him. If Britt felt backed into a corner, she could throw Jason to the wolves.

Sonny wanted Jason to be careful because there was a high chance that Sidwell was watching. He also believed it to be a major mistake for Jason to blindly trust that Britt would do the right thing. Unsurprisingly, Jason ignored Sonny's warnings. Reckless or not, Jason didn't care.

Brick knocked on the door and claimed he had news for Sonny and Jason. After a year of wondering who tried to take out Sonny, Brick uncovered interesting leads that could change everything. He believed that someone in the WSB was behind the attempt on his life.

Brick vowed to keep Sonny informed and warned him not to trust anyone from the WSB. Sonny outright asked if Jack was the person responsible for trying to kill him. Jason remarked that Jack wouldn't have had any trouble keeping secrets from Carly, which caught Sonny's attention.

Lucas wanted answers to why Britt was at Wyndemere. Britt thought quickly on her feet, and she claimed to be Sidwell's new at-home concierge. Lucas wondered what Britt meant when she wanted "this over with," and he wondered why Marco called Britt instead of him.

Marco told Lucas that he didn't want to take advantage of their relationship by using his medical expertise. Ava and Sidwell arrived soon after, and he almost slipped up about why Britt was there. Luckily, Marco quickly brought up the at-home doctor.

Ava was confused as to why they'd need to bring in an outside doctor when Lucas lived on the premises. After they left the room, Lucas tried to talk to Ava about his feeling that something was off. They were interrupted by Sidwell, who discussed his run-in with Carly.

Sidwell told Lucas that he invited Carly to Wyndemere to help mend the relationship between the embattled siblings. He claimed that Marco was filled with guilt for their estrangement, and Ava backed Sidwell up on the idea.

Lucas appreciated the gesture, but he was worried about the level of crazy Sidwell invited into his home. Britt returned and diagnosed Marco as needing more sleep, and Lucas seemed uneasy about the entire situation.

Sidwell advised Britt to remain at Wyndmere because of the active snowstorm. Lucas thought that Britt had the opportunity to leave before the storm got too treacherous, so Sidwell accompanied her to the docs.

Sidwell wanted Britt to get started on her work in the lab, but until the protective measures were put in place, she declined. Sidwell convinced Ava to stay the night at Wyndemere, which Lucas was thrilled about.

Once the power cut out, Sidwell wanted everyone to depart the mainland, but Marco worried about Anna. However, Sidwell told his son that Anna wouldn't be alone.

Anna, missing since Halloween, wrote her name on the wall with the date of her capture. The voice of Faison spoke to her through the speaker, and he claimed that they'd soon be reunited. Anna asked when the reunion would take place, but he provided no real answers.

Anna was convinced that Peter's resurrection was genuine, but she asked "Faison" for clarification nonetheless. She didn't know what to believe anymore. Everyone accused Anna of being crazy for thinking Faison was alive (despite his brain in a jar), and she wished she'd listened to her gut.

Anna asked why she was held in a room against her will, but Faison told her that surrendering was the key to her freedom. However, the lights began to flicker, a sign that Josslyn’s explosion had been successful.

The door to Anna's room opened, and a figure resembling Faison walked through, terrifying her. This was the moment that she had been waiting for. Part of her dreaded it, and the other part just wanted answers.
