Hamilton Finn (Michael Eastman) accompanied Hayden Barnes (Rebecca Budig) down to the police station where Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) subjected her to a barrage of questions, including ones about his big brother. If you’ll recall, Finn and Chase weren’t as close way back when as they are now.

Jasper “Jax” Jacks (Ingo Rademacher) arrived to collect Hayden, putting an end to the interrogation which was going nowhere fast. Alone, Jax insisted that Hayden stop pretending that they are a couple. She knew their arrangement was strictly business.

Over at Crimson, Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) revealed to Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) that Jax had files on him and Cassandra Pierce (Jessica Tuck). Nina wondered how Jax could have linked them to Cassandra seeing as how Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) and Finn wouldn’t rat them out. Jax arrived and presented Hayden as Crimson’s new Chief Financial Officer.
