Background[]
In late 2017, after mysterious man named Peter August arrived in Port Charles, he was hired by Drew Quartermaine to be COO of Aurora Media.
In 2018, Obrecht revealed that Cesar Faison had a son named Henrik. Faison wanted nothing to do with Henrik because while the boy was Faison's son, he wasn't Anna Devane's son. His mother disappeared right after birth. Faison had him sent off to boarding school as soon as he was able to go. For many years, Henrik wanted to have his father's approval and when he grew up, he became smart and devious. On January 31, 2018, it was revealed that Peter August is Henrik.
Henrik is a professional writer, under his father's pen name "P.K. Sinclair", he wrote a book called The Severed Branch, that is based off of his childhood and his relationship with his father, and it was published in 2018, he received an early copy in late March.
On February 1, 2018, it's revealed that Anna supposedly has a child with Faison, hinting that Henrik is Anna's long lost son. Henrik was conceived just before Anna met Robert Scorpio, when she was still a trainee at the W.S.B.. She believed that she went undercover to get some intel on Faison and found him heavily drunk at a bar so he couldn't notice who she was and she took advantage. At the end of the night, she got the intel she wanted a long with something she didn't expect, a child. In 2019, however, Robert Scorpio suggested to Anna that Peter might not be her son after all, he might actually be her twin sister, Alex Devane's son with Faison. Anna didn't tell Peter about her suspicions since she wanted to be Peter's mother at the time. On Halloween Night in 2020, Anna learned that Peter had the genetic marker for rheumatoid arthritis, which confirmed to her that Peter is Alex's son, not her's. On March 3, 2021, Peter finally learned that Alex was his mother all along and that Anna and Valentin had known for months.
Fearing Faison might find out about their child, after Henrik was born, Alex gave him away without even holding or seeing him, fearing she won't be able to let go of her first born. Unfortunately, Henrik was found by Faison and he was raised unfairly by him. He was sent to a boarding school at a very young age in Switzerland under a different name, for years he wanted his father's approval, for him to love him as his son but Faison only saw him as a servant nothing more. He never even attended any of his school plays.
He used to be close friends with his mentor, Valentin Cassadine. On May 8, 2018, it's revealed that Valentin knew Henrik since he was a child. He became a father figure to Henrik, loving and caring for him like he was his own son; he taught him how to be devious and a brilliant strategist like him. On May 23, it was revealed that after Alex gave Henrik away; Valentin tracked down the family that had adopted him and threatened them into giving him the infant before he then delivered him to his father.
He, his father and Helena Cassadine were behind The Jason Morgan Conspiracy and after months of being hunted down, on May 22, 2018, he was captured and taken into custody by the P.C.P.D. and the W.S.B.. However, he escaped with Valentin's help till he was recaptured after being held captive by Dr. Liesl Obrecht and Nina Reeves for nearly two months. In August, the WSB cleared Peter of all his charges and after being released from hospital, Peter bought a new gossip magazine called "The Invader" with Valentin's help.
On May 21, 2018, Peter helped deliver Maxie's baby...his nephew, James West. On June 29, while being held captive, he saw a hallucination of Maxie, to which he revealed that she's the first person in his life to ever need him and he wanted to redeem himself in her eyes.
Peter acted like he was on a good path in late 2018 and throughout most of 2019, but when Hank Archer blackmailed Peter about how he had a bigger role in the conspiracy to replace Jason with Drew and how he orchestrated Drew's abduction with help from Helena, Peter grew desperate to hide the truth and ordered a hit on Drew before having Bryce Henderson stab Andre Maddox. Peter also paid Bryce to help Hank escape from custody so he could take him out. When Sam McCall killed Hank in defense of Jason, Peter had Bryce frame Sam for hiring him to help Hank escape so she could kill him. In December, Peter hired David Black to kill Franco Baldwin and Andre Maddox, but changed his mind and killed David instead. On March 6, 2020, Peter framed Liesl for his crimes to throw everyone off of his trail.
On August 19, during the 2020 Nurses' Ball, Maxie accidentally reveals to everyone that she is pregnant after a microphone malfunction with Lulu, before her Deception Cosmetics pitch. Peter finds Maxie afterward and she confirms that she is pregnant. They embrace and share in their excitement for the baby. Mac and Anna join them and they confirm the news to the grandparents-to-be who are both overjoyed.
On February 8, 2021, Peter confided in Valentin and revealed that he was responsible for Drew's presumed death (although Drew was actually alive), he tried to have Franco and Andre killed and he framed Liesl for his crimes. On March 4, Valentin finally exposed Peter's crimes to everyone at Peter's double wedding with Maxie, Anna and Dr. Hamilton Finn. Since then, he and Valentin have become enemies.
On June 3, 2021, Peter was thought to have been killed when Finn ended up throwing him down the stairs. Finn and Nurse Elizabeth Webber covered up his "death" by putting Peter in a freezer in the hospital's sub basement. In July, when Finn confessed the truth to Anna while leaving Elizabeth's involvement out of it, he went to show her Peter's body, only to see that the freezer was empty, which shocked Finn. Peter was later seen alive and stalking Maxie in Nixon Falls on August 23, 2021.
On November 22, 2021, Peter was finally captured by the W.S.B. and was extradited back to Port Charles. Unfortunately, on February 4, 2022, Peter managed to escape from custody when Victor Cassadine arranged for the Pentonville van to be sabotaged, but Victor only did so to get the key to controlling Drew Quartermaine and have Peter killed. However, Peter kidnapped Victor's granddaughter, Charlotte Cassadine, so Victor was forced to let him go.
Although Peter had kidnapped his daughter, Louise Jones after escaping from custody, Maxie convinced him to let her go and she willingly decided to go on the run with him to keep her safe. However, Maxie's been leaving a trail of breadcrumbs for Anna, Drew, Dante Falconeri and the W.S.B. to find in order to track them down and take down Peter.
On February 23, 2022, Peter died after being hit on the head with a tire iron by Felicia Scorpio in defense of Maxie.
Storylines[]
On November 14, 2017, Peter August first appeared when he arrived at The Metro Court Hotel in Port Charles, New York for a job interview for a corporate position, meeting Drew Quartermaine, who along with Sam Morgan, had purchased Derek Wells Media (formerly one of the front companies for The Jerome Crime Family), which was previously owned by Julian Jerome and had been renamed Aurora Media in the hopes of making the company totally legitimate and crime-free.
On November 29, Sam Morgan revealed in a press conference to formally and publicly launch the company, that Peter August is the new Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Aurora Media.[5] Peter soon quickly begins impressing Drew and Sam, by working alongside not only them both, but with Nina Reeves, who Sam kept in charge of Crimson Publications, which remained the top division of Aurora Media, and worked with her and Maxie Jones in covering popular news bulletins and national events to gain high revenue and corporate influence for Crimson. As the COO of Aurora, Peter is also one of Nina's bosses.
In mid January of 2018, Lulu conducts an interview with Nathan, after the latter discovers that the infamous criminal mastermind, Cesar Faison is his biological father. Nathan, who was shocked at this revelation, begins working alongside Dante Falconeri and then seeks the help of Lulu and Crimson to lure Faison out of hiding, so that the PCPD can capture him and incarcerate him for good. Lulu then calls upon Peter and Nina to aid Nathan in using Crimson's influence to expose Faison to the Internet, but Maxie panics after she becomes pregnant with Nathan's child, though Nathan is determined to find Faison nonetheless. In addition, the interview soon ends up garnering the attention of Sonny Corinthos, Jason Morgan, and Anna Devane.
That same month, when Drew and Sam go on their honeymoon, Peter is left in charge of Aurora. On January 23, Peter rejects Anna's offer of making a fake story to lure Faison (by making it based on his other son) since it apparently violated the company's ethics commission. Anna is left shocked of Peter's unwillingness to cooperate and before leaving, she said that she didn't believe him. On January 25, Peter was held hostage at gunpoint by Cesar Faison, then Maxie Jones arrived. In an attempt to stop Faison, Peter tried to shoot him, but he got shot instead. However, he was wearing a bulletproof vest and was uninjured. After the hostage situation ended with Faison shooting Nathan and Jason shooting Faison, Peter left the Metro Court and was stalking Anna Devane at the very location where she is waiting to meet Faison's son Henrik, possibly hinting that Peter is Henrik. He also burned his bulletproof vest and by doing so, he destroyed evidence.
On January 31, Peter visited Faison at his hospital room and called him "Dad" revealing himself as Henrik. They exchange threats and insults before Peter tells his father he killed the wrong son as Nathan had died from his wound that night. Peter is gleeful that he outmanoeuvred his father. He further gloats over holding all the cards including the flash drive containing Drew's memories. Faison had trouble breathing and grabbed for the emergency button, while begging his son for help. Peter whips the button out of Faison's hand and says, "You taught me better than that." Peter proudly saunters out of the room, leaving Faison to gasp for air and ultimately die. Peter attended his brother Nathan's funeral and later on February 19, he mourned and apologized to him in his gravesite for being indirectly responsible for his death.
After finding out from Maxie that his father had Huntington's disease, he did a blood test with Dr. Griffin Munro's help, and on March 16, like his nephew or niece, it's confirmed that he hasn't inherited Huntington's disease from his father. Soon he began having an interest in his brother's widow Maxie Jones constantly being there for her without her knowing who he really is. Griffin soon found out about Peter's true identity and soon confronted him. Peter was able to manipulate him into not reporting him to the authorities.
In May, Peter escorted Maxie to the Nurses Ball of 2018. During the Nurses Ball, he met his long-lost cousin Robin. Later when leaving the Nurses' Ball, Maxie's water breaks in Peter's car. Peter helps Maxie deliver a healthy baby boy on the side of the road. Afterwards, he confronts Anna Devane at the pier, before being held at gunpoint by Jason Morgan. On May 22, to save his life, Anna reveals to both Peter and Jason that he is her son. In the end, Peter was taken into custody by the PCPD and the WSB. On May 25, despite Robert and Dante's opposition, Anna refused to testify against her son. Through Valentin's help he was able to escape, however, he was kidnapped by Liesl Obrecht with the help of Nina.
Liesl and Nina held Peter captive in a cabin in the woods for being indirectly responsible for Nathan's death and Liesl tortured/starved him several times, even trying to kill him on a few occasions despite Nina's opposition to murder. Peter, who was failing to convince Nina out of the plot, almost got lucky when a scout named Wyatt Hoover attempted to rescue him, but Lisel came in and caused Wyatt to hide under the bed. After she left, Peter had Wyatt take her notebook and give it to Franco and Finn, who soon discovered the whole kidnapping. Lisel later brought Peter to Spoon Island and started to hold him captive there, but Peter was finally able to persuade an unwilling Nina to help him escape, only for Lisel to catch them. Enraged, Liesl sets Spoon Island on fire with the two of them inside and gets arrested. Valentin and Finn save the two and Peter is hospitalized as a result of being held captive for two months.
In August, the WSB cleared Peter of all his charges and after being released from hospital, Peter bought a new gossip magazine called The Invader. He is determined to reshape the media company, so he hired Lulu Spencer to help him in doing so. On September 13, he met with his cousin Robin at the Metro court, they talk about his father. She points out that they both grew up in Faison's shadow and she doesn't want that for her children. He assures her he doesn't plan to hurt her or her children. Robin says she won't lobby on her mother's behalf. If he chooses to have a relationship with Anna, that's his choice. She admits that Emma is curious about him. Peter says he may give her a reason to introduce him to her children one day.
In November 2018, Peter met his half-sister, Britt Westbourne.
On January 11, 2019, Peter met with Anna at a cafe and was committed to getting to know her and her extended family, even asking about her twin sister, Alex Marick. Anna mentioned that the less said about Alex the better and as they were chatting Anna suddenly got a headache and lost consciousness. When she woke up, she started panicking because she couldn't see anything. Peter was concerned so he took her to the hospital where she was treated by Finn. He restored her sight and neutralized a virus that made her go blind.
After Lulu had been stabbed by the serial killer, Peter was initally a suspect but was proven to be innocent and he came clean since he claimed he had nothing to hide.
On March 1, Robert and Anna confronted Peter about anything he knew about Patients 1-5. Peter swore he didn't know much and he never met this man named Dr. Arthur Cabot
In April, Anna encouraged Peter to tell Maxie how he feels and he did plus she confessed her feelings for Peter. They shared a kiss and Peter thanked her by saying it was a very "mom" thing to do.
At the 2019 Nurse's Ball, Peter congratulated Anna and Finn after they just got engaged when Finn proposed to her on stage.
In June, Peter agreed to help Maxie find Dante and bring him home for Lulu. Peter was initally against the idea since Dante was suffering a severe case of PTSD but since Maxie was bound and determined he agreed to help. Maxie's dad, Frisco Jones gave her and Peter temporary clearances to enter a WSB facility in Ithaca where Dante was being treated. On July 15, after Maxie learned that Dante refused to see them, she pushed her way into the room he was in. Dante quickly grabbed an agent's gun and shot Peter in the shoulder, but it was a clean wound and required no surgery.
On August 21, it was revealed that Peter had aided and abetted Helena Cassadine in her plan to kidnap Drew from his post in Afghanistan back in 2012. When he had shown up to the spot, nobody knew it but Hank Archer caught a glimpse of him. Later that day, Hank (now known as Shiloh) called Peter for a visit in prison and blackmailed him into helping him get out of Pentonville or else he would reveal Peter's bigger part in the Jason Morgan Conspiracy. As a result, Peter ordered someone to make sure that Drew wouldn't find Dr. Andre Maddox, but it was unclear what Peter ordered his contact to do.
On September 3, Peter had someone stab Andre twice in the abdomen upon his return to Port Charles, which was orchestrated by Drew prior to his disappearance. Andre survived at GH and Peter tried to kill him himself, but was forced to leave.
On September 5, it was revealed that Drew's chartered flight to Afghanistan disappeared off the radar. On September 10, it was revealed that Peter was the perpetrator behind Drew's disappearance and Andre's attempted murder. It was also revealed that there was a plane crash over the Gulf of Aden.
On September 18, Peter ordered a hit on Shiloh and paid Bryce Henderson to help him escape so he could kill him. On September 20, after the first day of Shiloh's trial, Bryce sabotaged the Pentonville van by injuring the other guard and he planned to kill Shiloh, who knocked Bryce out and escaped. Later on, Shiloh called Peter and blackmailed him into delivering $35,000 dollars to him at the docks.
While on his way to deliver the money at the docks, Peter sees Dev and "Wiley" at the pier after Shiloh freed them from being his hostages. As Jason goes to rescue Sam from Shiloh, Dev asks Peter for help and Peter eventually helps Dev and "Wiley" go to GH. Maxie then confronts Peter about withdrawing a lot of money and going to the docks. Peter lies to her by saying that he wanted to look for a new place to live by the docks. Later, Shiloh's dead body was brought to GH after Sam killed him in Jason's defense.
On October 9, the W.S.B. declared Drew dead in absentia after Robert revealed to Monica Quartermaine that searching through the plane crash found no survivors.
On October 10, Peter and Bryce framed Sam for helping Shiloh escape. As a result, Sam was arrested by the F.B.I. and was sent to Pentonville. However, she was later eventually released on parole.
On November 28, Peter learned that Franco decided to get his memories back which upset him. On December 9, Peter hired a hitman named David Black to kill him and Andre. However, after having a talk with Anna, he later tried to call off the hit, but he could not get a hold of him. Peter eventually grabbed a gun and shot David. When Anna found him, he spun the story and claimed that he found David and something didn't seem right about him and when he tried to kill both Andre and Franco, he killed him in their defense. On December 16, David died from his gunshot wound.
On January 3, 2020, Peter and Maxie went to Nina and Valentin's wedding and eventually the wedding was crashed when a not-so-dead Nikolas Cassadine came in with Ava in his arms and revealed that Valentin is not the rightful Cassadine heir. He also revealed that Valentin is supposedly not even a Cassadine at all, he's Helena Cassadine's son. While the confrontation was happening, Peter and Maxie took Charlotte to her room as to make sure she didn't hear any of it. Eventually, Valentin came and picked up Charlotte since he was planning to run but Maxie and Peter tried to stop him. Maxie took Charlotte out of the room before Valentin kneed Peter in the stomach and he took off with her. Maxie found Peter who later convinced her there was nothing more they can do at Wyndemere.
On January 9, Peter went to see Anna and when she asked him about Eurotech, he admitted to working there from 2011 until 2013, but spun the story and didn't give her a lot of useful information. He later told Anna that he didn't want to be "Henrik" ever again and she said he is so much more than his father's son before hugging him. On January 13, Anna withheld the part about Peter being at Eurotech to protect him. Later on, when Peter found out, he was grateful to Anna and said he wanted to be the son that she deserves.
On February 10, Peter overheard Robert and Anna discussing the fact that Sam and Jason were helping him find evidence on Peter in exchange for help with Sam's parole problem. He played it off as if he didn't know what was going on but he later called the attorney general and sabotaged the investigation which got Robert pulled off the case and put Sam and Jason back at square 1.
On March 6, Peter framed Liesl Obrecht for Drew's presumed death and for both counts of attempting to murder Andre Maddox and for attempting to murder Franco Baldwin back in December of 2019, which resulted in Anna gleefully having two W.S.B. agents arrest her for Peter's crimes. Maxie was devastated and he consoled her while still keeping his secrets and lies under wraps.
On April 14, Peter was at Anna's house to help get Violet Finn's birthday party set up and Robert asked for his help with balloons. Robert pretended to try to make peace with Peter who was skeptical but played along. Robert then claimed that while they would never be best buds that they could co-exist. Later on, Peter called his henchman and let him know to go ahead with a distraction for Robert since he could still be a problem.
On April 20, it was revealed that the distraction that Peter created was Holly Sutton's death. Robert received a call that seemingly confirmed her demise, much to his heartbreak.
On May 6, Peter met with his henchman and told him that he only wanted a distraction and not Holly's death. The henchman claimed that he had nothing to do with the incident that caused Holly's death.
On August 19, during the 2020 Nurses' Ball, Maxie accidentally reveals to everyone that she is pregnant after a microphone malfunction before her Deception Cosmetics pitch. Peter finds Maxie afterward and she confirms that she is pregnant. They embrace and share in their excitement for the baby. Mac and Anna join them and they confirm the news to the grandparents-to-be who are both overjoyed.
On October 12, Peter and Maxie officially get engaged while they were at the hospital for a check up on their baby.
On October 26, Peter decided to hire Dante (who just came back to Port Charles) as his Head of Security at The Invader after Dante claimed that he was looking into some security work. Unbeknownst to Peter, however, Dante was actually brainwashed to complete a mission to take Peter down.
On February 3, 2021, Peter fired Dante from his position as the Head of Security at The Invader after a talk with Maxie, especially since he overheard Dante saying that he has a hard time with Peter since he is Nathan's half-brother.
On February 8, Peter finally revealed to Valentin that he's responsible for Drew's presumed death, the murder attempts on Andre and Franco and for framing Liesl for his crimes. He admitted that it felt good to get it off his chest but asked Valentin to keep his secrets. Valentin seemingly agreed to do so.
On February 24, Peter went to see Anna, who asked him about his connection to David Black. She gave him plenty of opportunities to tell the truth since she now knows the crimes Peter has committed to cover up his involvement in Drew's abduction back in July 2012. Peter didn't tell the truth and instead stuck to his story before he threw the evidence that Anna withheld into her fireplace.
On March 1, Peter was getting ready for his double wedding with Maxie, Anna and Finn and he was gloating to Faison about how nobody was going to stop him. Dante came by with a "friendly" warning and said that Peter would answer to him if he made Maxie regret their wedding day. Peter thought that something was off with Dante, especially since Dante talked about Peter's mission when he first came to town and revealed that he has a mission of his own. As Dante clenched his fists, Valentin came by and Dante left. Valentin and Peter shared a heart-to-heart before he gave Peter a gift. After Valentin left, a mysterious man came and put a bag over Peter's head before dragging him down to a closet in the parking garage. Dante eventually found him and untied him before they made their way to the double wedding ceremony.
As the wedding got back on track, Liesl showed up and revealed to everyone that Peter is not Anna's son, he is actually the son of Anna's twin sister, Alex Devane. This revelation devastated Peter and it stopped the wedding between Finn and Anna since it was revealed that Anna knew since Halloween of last year and she didn't tell Finn or Peter. Maxie felt like that didn't change how she felt about Peter and still wanted to marry him which led to Valentin finally exposing Peter's crimes to Maxie. Peter kept lying despite the fact that his cover was blown and all the stress led to Maxie having Braxton Hicks contractions. After she was taken to the hospital, Peter was determined to go to her but Robert, Anna, Dante and Sam tried to keep him away from her. Peter couldn't be arrested because there's no evidence against him but Robert vowed that the day would come - hopefully sooner rather than later. He managed to leave and made his way up to his room at the Metro Court before opening his safe and pulling out his gun. As he went downstairs, he was hit with a tire iron before he was kidnapped by Franco.
Franco dragged Peter to his art studio and tied him to a chair before turning on a flood light which shone on his face. Franco scared Peter and threatened him with his tools that he has. Peter demanded Franco to untie him and to let him go but Franco threatened to kill him. He revealed to Peter that he knows what Peter did - he knows that Peter was responsible for Drew's abduction from his post in July 2012 and that he was responsible for Drew's presumed death. Peter kept claiming that he was coerced by Helena and his father but Franco slapped him and warned him not to make himself out to be a victim again. When Franco threatened to cut Peter's tongue with a scalpel, he finally got Peter to confess everything he did - he hired Hank Archer to ambush Drew and deliver him to Helena, he orchestrated the memory transfer between Jason and Drew, he caused Drew's presumed death in 2019, he hired David Black to kill Andre and Franco before he killed David himself and he framed Liesl for his crimes.
Franco finally admitted that he was not going to kill Peter and that he recorded Peter's confession. Peter said that his confession would not hold up since it was made under duress. Before Franco could call 9-1-1, Peter escapes his restraints and takes his gun back from him after a struggle. Peter tries to shoot Franco, but only succeeds in shooting him in the chest after a second struggle for the gun. Peter exits the gallery after deleting the recording of the confession, and leaves Jason to find Franco's bleeding body. Elizabeth arrives moments later and tries to resuscitate her husband while Jason calls 9-1-1. Franco tells Elizabeth that he loves her and the boys before passing away.
Peter made his way to the hospital and tried to see Maxie but Valentin warned him that he shouldn't be there. Peter insisted that he was not going anywhere and that he was not going to run.
On March 17, Peter visited Nathan's grave where he was approached by Cyrus Renault. Peter initially pulled out his gun and aimed it at Cyrus, who had a sniper aimed at Peter in self-defense. When Peter put his gun down, he and Cyrus schemed to frame Jason for the crime. Cyrus proceeded to use Gladys Corbin, who also disliked Jason for perceived (but not true) rejection of her son into the family business. Gladys witnessed Peter's killing of Franco and disposal of the gun. Cyrus convinced her to tell the police that she saw Jason. In return, Peter became an associate of Cyrus' and would publish an article which exposed the scandal of Chase's paternity.
On March 19, Peter returned to the gravesite expecting to meet with Maxie but found Dante instead. Dante revealed that Maxie didn't text him, he did. When Peter asked why, Dante pulled out a gun, aimed it at him and said he had to complete the mission. Peter became scared and tried to talk Dante down before saying that he's never done anything to Dante. Dante said that Peter is a threat to Maxie and the baby but Peter said he would never hurt either one of them and said that Dante would be hurting them. Dante said that they would be better off without him and Peter told Dante that he's confused and is having a PTSD episode. When Dante said "I have to complete the mission" again, Peter asked what mission and who gave him this mission. Peter tried backing away as Dante walked up closer to him with his gun and Peter fell down. Sam found Dante holding Peter at gunpoint and tried to talk him down.
Dante said that he had to complete the mission and Sam asked Dante if someone ordered him to kill Peter. Dante said this was justice for Maxie and Drew but Sam said that justice would be Peter getting arrested, standing trial and going to prison for life and told him not to throw away his life for Peter. Sam tried to appeal to him by getting him to think about the people who love him and to think about Rocco. When Dante had a flashback to a happy memory of him and Rocco, he started shaking and managed to lower his gun with Sam's help. After Sam ordered Peter to get out of there, she asked Dante what he was thinking. Dante was confused and admitted that he wasn't thinking before he added that he was outside of himself when he almost killed Peter. Dante teared up and told Sam that the WSB told him he was better and he realized that he needed help. Sam gently took his hands and promised to get him some help, so she took him to GH so he could get in to see Kevin for a psych evaluation.
After Peter and Cyrus successfully framed Jason, a chain of events led to Jason being sent to Pentonville, getting stabbed, getting shot in the back, and becoming a fugitive with Britt by running off to Canada. Meanwhile, Peter attempted to kill Finn to get back at Anna, but ended up poisoning Chase instead, leaving him severely hospitalized. In May, when Gladys accidentally revealed to Cyrus that his obsession, the beautiful model Sasha Gilmore was pregnant, he realized she was a liability. Peter mentioned witnessing Gladys' son Brando Corbin and Sasha's closeness, which led to Cyrus and Peter kidnapping Gladys and holding her hostage. Peter then went to the hospital and encountered Maxie, who told him that the crazy nurse he hired took baby Louise and ran away. She then went on to say how he never changed from his evil Henrik persona and how he ruined everything, roasting and devastating him. In the process, Peter accidentally admitted that he killed Maxie's real nurse before hiring the fake. Maxie had recorded the entire conversation and sent it to Mac, while a rescued Gladys told the police that she really saw Peter the night Franco was murdered.
Realizing that he was a fugitive, Peter went to the hospital roof and planned to escape via helicopter. When the pilot told him that he could not land, Finn appeared and demanded an antidote for Chase, saying that he will not be escaping. Peter threw the vial of antidote off the roof and proceeded to walk away, but in an act of rage, Finn grabbed Peter and tossed him down a flight of stairs. Elizabeth soon reached Peter's body at the bottom of the flight, noticing his bleeding head and then realizing that he had no pulse. Peter seemed to be dead, so Finn and Elizabeth covered it up.
On June 16, it was revealed that Cyrus had shut down the security cameras on the hospital stairwells to smuggle out drugs. That's why Peter was not shown on camera as he escaped to the roof. It was shown in flashback that Liz and Finn hid Peter's body in a freezer in the secret lab below GH by taking a service elevator hidden on the roof. They will move his body later.
Anna finds out the stairwell cameras were shut off by Cyrus and goes to investigate the roof where she finds the elevator door. Later Monica tells Finn that the hospital cameras were back up so Liz and Finn can't get to Peter's body.
Anna and Valentin investigate Pautauk and find out Marie's true identity after her body is discovered. Marie's brother is David Hopkins, the pilot who was going to pick up Peter from the GH rooftop. Anna and Valentin go to New York Methodist Hospital where David works and meet him at Ryan's Bar across the street. David eventually admits that he worked for Peter but he never picked him up from the GH rooftop. He instead reveals that he saw another man on the roof with Peter and describes him to look like Finn.
On July 26, Anna figures out that Finn "killed" Peter and has him confess to her at his GH office. They then go to the secret lab and open the freezer to find no body inside. Earlier, Liz told Jason about what Finn did, but Jason went to the lab and also found no body in the freezer.
On August 23, Peter was revealed to be alive and stalking Maxie when she showed up in Nixon Falls. After Maxie left Nixon Falls, Peter was stunned to see Sonny Corinthos alive and well, however he was surprised when he learned that Sonny had lost his memory and he didn't know who Peter was. Sonny wondered if he should know Peter, who claimed that he was an author and he introduced himself as "Peter Sinclair." Sonny introduced himself as "Mike" and he wondered what Peter was doing in Nixon Falls. Peter claimed that he went on a bit of wanderlust and had been searching for his place. โMikeโ told him that the Tan-O is closed but he could give him some water for his journey.
After โMikeโ went inside with Peter, Nina was stunned to see him and dropped a tray of glasses. Peter said, โNina Reeves! What a small world.โ โMikeโ assumed that they know each. Peter quickly introduced himself to Nina as Peter Sinclair and said that they ran in the same publishing circles, which Nina went along with. Peter saw that she too found herself in Nixon Falls and she found โMike.โ โMikeโ explained how he found himself there because he woke up nearby with no memory. โMikeโ left to check on Phyllis Caulfield and deliver an old photo album to her. When they were alone, Peter wondered what Nina's gotten herself into now. Nina, behind the bar, reached for the gun in the lockbox.
Peter pulled out his gun and aimed it at Nina in order to stop her from pulling the Tan-O's gun. Once she complied, Peter ordered her to give him her phone and to sit down at a table with him. Peter wanted Nina to give him a base of operations in Nixon Falls, plus he began to blackmail her into helping him find his daughter, Louise and threatened to kidnap his nephew, James West of she refused to comply. He also threatened to tell Carly Corinthos and everyone else that Sonny's alive, living with amnesia as "Mike" and that Nina's been keeping him away from everyone he loves. Later on, when "Mike" came back, Peter revealed that he'll be staying in Nixon Falls for a while.
On August 26, Peter and Nina went back to the Tan-O and Peter thanked her for letting him stay with her. He also reminded her that he could always take James if he didn't get Louise back. When they went inside, Peter met Phyllis and offered his condolences over her husband, Lenny's passing. Peter revealed that he slept on Nina's couch, which annoyed "Mike." Peter also said that he and Nina are simpatico because they've both lost a child and Phyllis revealed that she knows that kind of pain since she and Lenny have lost a daughter. "Mike" asked how long Peter was staying in town and Peter said that he thinks he'll be staying for a while because he and Nina were discussing a project of mutual interest.
The local sheriff stopped by the Tan-O and offered his condolences to Phyllis about Lenny. When he saw Peter, he thought he recognized him. Nina revealed that Peter was a writer and Peter claimed he was just passing through. When the sheriff asked where he was from, Nina blurted out that he's from Port Charles, but Peter claimed that he's also from Manhattan and Los Angeles, noting that he's from all over. Peter went to grab the gun from behind his pants but the sheriff eventually left. After "Mike" went to take Phyllis home, Peter warned Nina that she just made a fatal mistake in dropping clues to the cop before smugly saying that it would be a shame if something happened to "Mike" and Phyllis.
When "Mike" returned to the Tan-O, he wondered if everything was okay and Peter claimed that he pitched an idea to Nina about a True Crime story in a small town. When Peter decided to take a walk and learn about Nixon Falls, "Mike" offered to give him a tour. Once they were outside, "Mike" asked Peter why he got the feeling that Nina doesn't like him. "Mike" knew that Peter made Nina uncomfortable and suggested that it's time for him to get out of town. Peter claimed to be publishing rivals with Nina but "Mike" knew he was lying. Phyllis returned to the Tan-O and scolded "Mike" for his behavior before she apologized to Peter for "Mike's protectiveness over Nina.
When Peter went inside, he caught Nina on the phone and wondered who she was talking to. Nina claimed that it was Crimson business but said she'd call Valentin soon and Peter once again threatened to kidnap James and ruin her life if she betrayed him. After "Mike" and Phyllis went inside, Nina agreed to show Peter out. Once Peter and Nina went outside, Peter gave her 24 hours and threatened to let everyone she loves suffer the consequences.
On August 30, Peter went back to the Tan-O and when "Mike" saw him, he wondered if Peter knows who he really is. Peter said yes, but he claimed that he knows the kind of guys that Nina goes out with. "Mike" eventually got so angry that he grabbed a bat and threatened to hit Peter in the head with it, but Nina came by and diffused the situation. After Nina took Peter outside, she told him about a lead on Louise in St. Lucia. Peter was curious but he warned Nina that she'd regret it if she was lying to him. Peter later left Nixon Falls to follow that lead.
On September 10, Peter returned to Nixon Falls and was angry with Nina because he found out she lied to him about the lead in St. Lucia - it was actually a trap so Liesl could ambush Peter and have him killed. After Phyllis entered the Tan-O, she asked Peter what brought him back to Nixon Falls and as he spun a tale, Phyllis secretly opened the gun box and she aimed the Tan-O's gun at Peter, who took Nina hostage at gunpoint. After Phyllis was forced to put the gun down, Peter ordered her to grab some rope and tie Nina up before he tied her up with Nina. Peter then taunted Nina about Sonny and when Phyllis wondered who Sonny was, Peter gleefully revealed that "Mike" is actually Sonny Corinthos and that Nina has known all along. Phyllis was hurt and disappointed in Nina for lying about Sonny over and over but they tabled that for the moment since Peter was holding them hostage. Peter then poured kerosene all over the Tan-O and lit it on fire as Phyllis and Nina were still tied up inside before he left them to burn. Phyllis and Nina were saved by Jasper Jacks, but "Mike" ended up trapped inside for a bit when he was trying to save Nina and Phyllis. After he woke up and got free, "Mike" remembered being Sonny Corinthos and got his memories back.
On September 20, Peter was seen on the phone with someone and was trying to make arrangements to get out of Nixon Falls, but Anna showed up and aimed a gun at Peter, who tauntingly asked her what brought her to Nixon Falls. Anna said that she was there to catch a killer (meaning Peter) and bring him to justice before she ordered him to lay face down on the ground. Peter went to pull out his gun but Anna threatened to shoot him in the gut which would give him a very little chance of surviving. Anna later asked Peter where Drew Quartermaine is since she learned that Drew's alive and that the plane crash in 2019 was staged as a cover to kidnap Drew.
Peter told her to make him an offer and maybe he would decide to tell her, which disgusted Anna. As Peter went to pull out his gun, Anna shot him in the shoulder, which took Peter by surprise. Peter wondered if she tried to kill him and missed but Anna claimed that she didn't miss. Valentin later showed up, stood by Anna and aimed his gun at Peter before revealing that his guide was handcuffed to a post. Peter tauntingly called Valentin a man of law and order as Anna went to see who Peter's contact was on his phone. Valentin told Anna to call him back and tell him that they have Peter in custody, but Peter told them to think again before he jumped off a cliff.
Anna got in contact with the Pennsylvanian authorities and wanted them to set up roadblocks because this was a hunt for a fugitive. Anna revealed to Valentin that based on Peter's call with his contact, it sounded like Peter wasn't the one with the power - his contact has the power.
On September 27, Peter showed up on a Cassadine Compound in Crete, Greece, where it was revealed that Liesl was being held hostage by Victor Cassadine, who was recently revealed to be alive and well. Peter aimed his gun at Liesl in defense of Victor since she was holding a knife to Victor's throat and it was revealed that Peter and Victor are working together. Peter wanted to kill Liesl, but Victor stepped in and reminded Peter that he's calling the shots. Victor had his guards take Liesl down to the prison level of his compound, where Drew and other prisoners are being held.
On October 5, after Peter got settled in, he and Victor began to talk. It was revealed that Peter had made a deal with Victor - if Victor would help Peter find Louise then Peter would give Victor the key to accessing Drew's conditioning. Several years ago, Drew had not one, but two levels of mental conditioning installed in his head because that was Faison's M.O., but the first level had been disabled in 2015. Victor believed that Peter was stalling and wondered why he was putting up with him at all. Eventually, Peter managed to convince Victor to keep helping him.
Peter later went down to the prison level of the compound to see Drew. Peter aimed a gun at Drew and claimed that he would hate to shoot him but he would. Drew told Peter to screw himself and Peter tauntingly asked if he was going to thank him for keeping him alive all this time. Drew pointed out that this was the same thing he did to Jason and Peter said that there were some problems with Jason that he wouldn't have with Drew. Drew told Peter that he can't force him to do anything, but Peter said wrong, pulled out a tarot card of "The Tower" and said "You're active", which put Drew in a trance. When Peter called Drew "Soldier", Drew said "Reporting for duty" and Peter said that he has a new mission.
On October 7, it was revealed that Peter had programmed Drew to eliminate Robert and Anna at a Tavern in Panapolia. Drew was forced to shoot at Robert and Anna, who shot back at him and they engaged in a shootout - not realizing who was sent to ambush them. When they grazed Drew's left arm, Drew took off.
On October 15, after Drew was put back in his cell and after he woke up not remembering what happened, Peter dragged Liesl down to Drew's cell and ordered her to patch Drew up before he left. Just as Liesl and Drew realized that Peter's controlling him, Victor appeared with a few of his guards and was angry that Peter activated Drew and sent him on an op without his permission. When Victor ordered his guards to kill Peter, they didn't act and Peter revealed that he bought off Victor's guards, especially Russel, Victor's head guard.
After Peter had the guards move Victor into the lavish room where Valentin was being held, Peter revealed to Valentin that Victor's no longer his captor, he is. Peter ordered Russel to kill Victor and Valentin if they moved before he left the room.
Peter went back down to Drew's cell and told him that he has a job for him, but Drew looked at his daughter, Scout's name on the wall, said "Never again" and angrily attacked Peter.
Drew was later seen wearing a long, black-sleeved shirt and he shot Russel in the leg in defense of Valentin, which gave Victor the opportunity to escape. Drew and Valentin later escaped from the compound and made their way to Anna and Robert, but Peter found them and shot Valentin in the back. Drew fired a machine gun at Peter, who shot Drew three times in the chest and caused him to fall into the water.
Later on, Drew was revealed to have been wearing a bulletproof vest and had survived the gunshot wounds. It was also revealed that Peter had activated Drew's conditioning again earlier in order to force Drew help him kidnap Liesl again and stage Valentin's rescue before having Peter fake his death again. Drew was also forced to help Peter escape from the W.S.B.
On November 1, it was revealed that Peter took Liesl to Cassadine Island and began holding her hostage there. Liesl woke up and wondered what happened to Drew, but Peter told her not to worry about Drew. Peter revealed that while he wanted to kill her, he kept her alive because he wanted her to condition Maxie into forgiving him and loving him again. Liesl threw hydrochloric acid on Peter's hand and managed to escape. Peter ordered his men to find her. Later on, Jason found Peter and began holding him at gunpoint. Peter told Jason that he shouldn't have come. Jason forced Peter to give his guards a fake idea on where Liesl was before he took Peter down to a shack where Britt was.
When Jason and Peter got there, they saw that Drew was down there, holding Britt hostage at gunpoint while Liesl was on the ground, injured from a sphere. Peter told Jason to say hello to his brother before he pointed out that the brothers were together at last and on opposite sides. Jason told Drew to let Britt go but Peter ordered Drew to kill her if Jason kills him. Peter revealed that in order to save Britt, he had to either lower his gun or kill his brother. In order to save Britt and because he didn't want to kill Drew, Jason was forced to lower his gun. Drew then let Britt go and was forced to tie Jason up and hold him at gunpoint.
On November 8, Peter went to see Britt, who wondered where Liesl was. Peter said that she was resting and refused to let Britt see her. Britt sarcastically congratulated Peter on becoming the man that Faison wanted and Peter wanted her to accept that the two of them are part of his legacy. Later on, Peter forced Britt to come with him down to the wine cellar.
When they got down to the wine cellar, Drew (who was back in his right mind) threatened to kill Peter, who said that that's not going to happen but he did say that Drew would be killing someone, causing Drew to nervously look at Jason. Peter ordered his guards to duct tape Jason's mouth shut and to release Drew from his shackles before Peter pulled out "The Tower" tarot card and programmed Drew. Peter had Drew hold a knife to Jason's throat and to stand by. Britt begged Peter not to kill Jason, so Peter relented and had Drew stand back before having him cut his own arm. Peter then had Drew return the knife and allow the guards to re-shackle him before Peter pulled out "The Chariot" tarot card and said "Stand down", which deactivated Drew. Peter then ordered Britt to patch up Drew's arm and when she did, he took her out.
Once they got back to the room where Peter's been holding her hostage, Peter told Britt that he hoped she knows now what he's capable of. After Britt sarcastically congratulated Peter on becoming the man that their father was in every way, Peter said that they're one and the same and they have to take what they want in this life. Peter vowed that he'll be back with Maxie soon and locked Britt in the room.
On November 16, Peter allowed Liesl to see Britt in the main area of the compound on Cassadine Island as he ordered his guards to bring Drew up. After Drew was brought up, Peter ordered Liesl to make sure Drew was in tip-top shape and told Drew that he's going to return to Port Charles, kidnap Maxie and bring her to him.
On November 18, it was revealed that Peter programmed Drew again. After Jason broke out of the wine cellar, he made his way up to the main area on the compound and held Peter at gunpoint again. Drew was forced to hold Jason at gunpoint in defense of Peter. After Jason lowered his gun, Peter ordered Drew to kill Jason. After Peter and his guards took Liesl and Britt down to the tunnels, Drew and Jason brutally fought until Jason showed Drew โThe Chariotโ tarot card and said โStand down.โ
Peter forced Britt and Liesl to keep moving and told them to be quiet or else he'd kill one of them. Later on, Drew (who was back in his right mind) showed up and threatened Peter at gunpoint after saying that he's taking Britt and Liesl with him. Peter went to pull out โThe Towerโ tarot card but Jason showed up and shot Peter in the arm to prevent him from programming Drew. Jason and Peter engaged in a shootout as Drew protected Britt and Liesl. After their shootout, the tunnels collapsed and Jason was presumed dead as everyone else lost consciousness.
Peter was the first one to wake up and he grabbed a rock and tried to smash Drew's head with it, but Drew woke up and tried to knock Peter down. Although Peter managed to get away, he was found by Robert, who showed up aiming a gun at him. Robert dared Peter to grab his gun and when he tried to, Anna stepped on his injured hand and held him at gunpoint again. Peter was finally arrested by the W.S.B. right before Anna rescued Drew, Britt and Liesl from the tunnel.
After they came back up to the main area of the Cassadine Island compound, Drew went to attack Peter but was stopped by Robert, who said that if it was up to him then Peter would be put in a W.S.B. black site. Britt wondered if there was a syringe so they could either inject Peter with bleach or drain cleaner and Liesl said that although it's too bad that Britt had her medical license back, she didn't so she decided to use drain cleaner. Drew told Peter that if Jason's dead then Peter would join him.
The W.S.B. agents escorted Peter outside and they stood by as Anna was debriefing Drew, Britt and Liesl while having an excavation team search for Jason. Peter wanted the W.S.B. agents to move his hands to the front but they initially refused, so Peter said that he was captured and injured. They relented and moved his hands to the front before cuffing him again. Peter then was able to convince the W.S.B. agents to let him make one phone call to Maxie. When she answered the phone, Peter revealed to her that he would be coming back to Port Charles.
On December 3, Peter was seen as a patient at G.H. where Dr. Austin Gatlin-Holt was treating his injuries. As he treated Peter and as they talked about Maxie, Austin forcefully jabbed Peter twice with a needle in the arm. After Austin got done treating Peter, the cops were wheeling him out of G.H. before they ran into Nina, who wasn't happy to see Peter.
Peter taunted her about being alive and taunted her about what she did in Nixon Falls. When Peter threatened to tell Carly what Nina did, Carly appeared and wondered what they were talking about. Peter said that it's time for him to clue Carly in. Nina said that he's a criminal and a liar and can't be trusted. When Peter taunted Carly about Jason's death, she slapped him and said that's only the beginning of what he's getting. Peter tauntingly warned Nina that what happens in Nixon Falls doesn't always stay in Nixon Falls and laughed as the guard wheeled him out.
On December 7, Peter was seen at the P.C.P.D. in custody and Acting Commissioner Mac Scorpio lashed out at him for manipulating Maxie and using her grief over Nathan West to get closer to her. Peter swore that he loves Maxie. Mac said that accidents happen in jail all the time. Peter claimed that if anything happens to him then Louise would stay gone for good.
After Mac left the interrogation room, he saw Maxie and realized she was there to see Peter. He initially refused to let her see him and told her that he's grasping at straws. When Maxie said that this was about what she had to say to him, Mac agreed to let her see him but told her to leave the second anything gets weird.
Maxie went in to see Peter, who was happy to see her and said that he knew she couldn't stay away. Maxie told him to shut up and listen. Maxie told him that this fantasy he has of them living together is not going to happen. She told him that she feels nothing but hatred for him for what he did to her and said he's a murderer. He claimed that everything he did was out of his love for her and swore he could bring Louise back and they can be a family. She yelled that he's going to spend his life in prison with nothing. She seethes, โYou won't have me, you won't have Louise, there is nothing for youโฆ Choke on it!โ She called him pure evil and said that she regrets the day she met him. As she went to leave, Peter suggested that this is about Austin, who is clearly interested in her. She called him insane and insisted that this has nothing to do with Austin. She told him that even if she was dating Austin or the entire PCU football team, it was none of his business. He coldly told her that there was only room for one man in her life, him. She told him to go to hell and stormed out.
Later on, as Peter was asleep, Sonny went into the interrogation room and slammed the door shut to wake him up. Peter was surprised that Sonny was allowed to visit him in the interrogation room. Sonny said that killing Jason threw all the rules out the window. He said that everyone wants to see him pay and it looks like he's going to do the honors. Looking nonchalant, Peter dismissed Sonny's threats and warned him that if he kills him, his secret would come out. He claimed that he recorded him kissing Nina and has it locked in a thumbdrive to be opened when he dies. Sonny said that this was bigger than what happened in Nixon Falls. He said he was going to make him wait and wonder when he'd die. Peter became furious when Sonny told him that he'd never know if his baby was dead or alive and said that wherever she is, she's better off without him. Sonny gloated about how he would be spending his time with his children while Peter begs for his life. Peter didn't think that Sonny, of all people, was qualified to judge him. Sonny said that he'd smile when he learns he's dead. After Sonny told him to enjoy what's left of his life, he walked out.
On December 10, Peter was seen at Pentonville and he was being held there to await trial. Anna came to see him in solitary and he told her that Sonny put a target on his back. She was surprised there's room for another one, but he's safer there than anywhere else. She said that Sonny is too smart to risk killing him when he's being watched by the cops, but Peter has made a lot of enemies, which means he has to save himself. She wanted him to own all his crimes, take his punishment and relinquish his fight for Louise. Anna said that if he's willing to do all that, maybe there's something she can do for him. Peter refused and said that Louise and Maxie are what kept him human and Anna snapped that death was too good for him.
After Anna left, Peter got dressed to prepare for his upcoming trial and another inmate went to bring him some breakfast. Peter initially refused because he was concerned that the food could have been poisoned, but he changed his mind and asked him to bring it back. After Peter ate his breakfast, he went to tell the guard he was ready, but he started choking and wheezing before he lost consciousness. It was revealed that the inmate who poisoned him was Brad Cooper.
As a result, Peter was taken back to G.H. and he had a breathing tube put in his mouth. After some time passed, Elizabeth went into Peter's cubicle with a scalpel in her hand and she attempted to kill Peter with it, but Finn stopped her. When Austin came in, Finn covered for Elizabeth.
On New Year's Day in 2022 (shown on January 3, 2022), Peter woke up from his coma and Victor Cassadine came to see him. Peter weakly told Victor that he betrayed him, but Victor said that to be fair, Peter betrayed him first but he claimed that he was willing to let bygones be bygones. Victor offered Peter protection in return for the key to activating Drew Quartermaine's conditioning, but Peter wanted Victor to find his daughter, Louise Jones.
On January 5, Peter hired Martin Grey to be his attorney because he wanted to prove that he wasn't guilty of murdering Franco Baldwin back in March 2021 (even though he truly was guilty). Although Martin was reluctant, he said that he wanted a $50,000 retainer and Peter immediately agreed, so Martin agreed to take Peter on as a client, although he warned Peter that he would be facing numerous charges in other jurisdictions and Peter said that he would fight one battle at a time.
Later on, Peter's half-sister, Dr. Britt Westbourne came to see him and she told him not to call her his sister. Britt said that she was glad she didn't grow up with Peter and she taunted him over losing his daughter. She also made it clear that she wanted him to spend the rest of his life in prison before he joins their father, Cesar Faison in hell.
On January 13, Felicia Scorpio paid Peter a visit. She demanded to know where Louise was and Peter eventually lashed out at her, calling her a โPrincessโ and he threw the fact that she abandoned her daughters for a life of adventure in her face. Felicia admitted that she's made mistakes and Peter said that what she's doing now was a failed attempt to make up for failing her daughters. He insisted that he would never fail Louise and Felicia said that they'd never know since Louise was lost thanks to him. When Peter asked what she would say if he told her that he could lead her to Louise, Felicia called him a liar just like Faison. She said she couldn't wait to see him end up just like Ryan Chamberlain and Faison before she left.
On January 20, Peter acted like he had back pain in order to stall his upcoming transfer back to Pentonville. The doctors did an M.R.I. and it showed nothing to prove that Peter had any back pain at all. Peter tried to blackmail Dr. Hamilton Finn by threatening to reveal how he pushed him down a flight of stairs last year but Finn refused to help him since there was no evidence of him being down in the hospital basement.
Later on, Martin came to see Peter again and Peter wondered where Martin has been. Martin reminded Peter that he wasn't his only client and that even if he was, he's his attorney, not a nurse. Peter admitted to trying to get a doctor to help stall his transfer and said that he wanted to have Finn arrested for attempted murder. Peter revealed to Martin how Finn pushed him down a flight of stairs and left him in a freezer down in the hospital basement back in June 2021.
Martin asked if Peter had any proof or security footage but Peter said no, so Martin told him that it's the word of an accused killer with multiple charges in many time zones against the word of a respected doctor. Peter said that the accusations alone should be enough to tarnish Finn's reputation and to just let him fight it out in court. Peter said that Finn could get himself exonerated but rhetorically asked if any hospitals would want an accused killer on staff before saying that he couldn't wait to tell the world what Finn did to him.
Martin told Peter that he was definitely not going to do that. Peter said that Finn tried to kill him but Martin reminded him that he poisoned Finn's brother, Detective Harrison Chase and withheld the necessary medication to treat him. Martin told Peter to just sit in that courtroom and act penitent so it would look like he was the target of a vendetta that his aunt, Anna Devane had against him. Martin also said that the case against him about Franco's murder was thin because there was no evidence of him being there and there was a very unreliable witness before saying that if Peter cooperates then he just might beat the murder charge.
On January 27, Victor came to see Peter again and revealed that he found Louise. Victor revealed that Louise has been in Port Charles hidden in plain sight the whole time, living as "Bailey Quartermaine". Peter didn't believe it at first but when Victor laid out the story, Peter was shocked and he grew angry when he realized that Maxie played him before threatening to make her pay. Victor wanted Peter to give him the key to controlling Drew but Peter wanted him to help him escape. Victor grew angry and reminded Peter that they had a deal but Peter renegotiated the terms of their deal. After Victor left, Martin came to see Peter and said that he had to recuse himself from Peter's case. Peter didn't mind and said no hard feelings but Martin wondered what the catch was. Peter claimed that there was no catch so Martin agreed to pay Peter back before he left.
Later on, as Peter started to be wheeled out, he ran into Chase and Brook Lynn Quartermaine, who had Louise with them. Peter got a good look at her and said โShe looks just like her motherโ, which made Brook Lynn nervous since Peter hinted that he knows the truth now.
On February 3, Peter was being officially prepped for transfer back to Pentonville and Detective Dante Falconeri came by. Peter took cheap shots at Dante, who looked angry and said that he hoped Peter would live long enough to be old, gray and that he'd always be worried that someone's would stick a shank in his back while everyone has forgotten about him. Peter said that nobody would forget about him before he was taken out of his hospital room. Dante, Acting Commissioner Mac Scorpio and other guards went to take him out of the hospital and he saw Anna. He smiled menacingly at Anna and vowed to tell Maxie goodbye in person before they took him away.
Once they were in the back of the Pentonville transport van, Peter took more cheap shots at Dante by bringing up how Drew's back which must be a problem for him and Sam. All of a sudden. the van hit some ice on the road and they lost control before they crashed. As Mac and Dante went to check out what happened, they realized that the van was sabotaged because the tires were blown out.
Dante and Mac were ambushed by Victor's men, who helped Peter escape while Mac was shot in the chest and Dante was knocked out. In the meantime, Peter snuck into Jasper Jacks's old beach house and kidnapped Louise when Brook Lynn and Chase weren't looking before he put her in a vehicle with him and vowed to never let anyone take her from him.
Peter later called Victor, who was tired of dealing with him and wondered what he wanted. Peter wanted Victor to provide him and Louise a safe passage out of the country and promised to give him the information he needed on Drew. After they hung up, Peter went to Kevin and Laura Collins's penthouse, knocked out a pizza delivery guy, took the pizza and knocked on the door. When Charlotte Cassadine opened the door, Peter said โHello Charlotte. I brought your pizza.โ before she tried to close the door, but Peter kept it open with his foot and he kidnapped her.
Peter went down to Pier 55 to meet Victor, who had his henchmen knock him to his knees and had a sniper laser aimed at his chest. Victor ordered Peter to give him the key to controlling Drew, so Peter revealed that the key was to show Drew a tarot card and tell him the phrase โYou're activeโ, but Peter lied and claimed that the tarot card he had to show Drew was โThe Sunโ. After Victor got the supposed key from Peter, he planned to have him killed, but Peter laughed and said it was a bad idea. When Victor wondered why, Peter revealed that he kidnapped Charlotte. Victor ordered Peter to tell him where Charlotte was and when Peter refused, Victor took a gun from one of his men, aimed it at his chest and ordered him to tell him where she was or he'd make Peter beg to tell him. After Victor had his sniper stand down, Peter hypothetically told Victor that Charlotte was being held hostage in a warehouse and that the door could be rigged with a bomb. Victor was forced to let him live in order to save Charlotte, so Peter gave Victor the coordinates of the area where Charlotte was and Victor had his men go with him to find Charlotte.
Once they were gone, Peter used a phone to call Maxie, who wondered if Louise was okay. Peter said she was fine and that she could come see for herself, so he ordered her to leave her phone behind and to meet him down on Pier 55 alone. He threatened to disappear with Louise forever and make sure she never saw them again if she brought any backup or decided to betray him, so Maxie followed his orders and came down to Pier 55 alone. Peter showed her Louise and gave her an ultimatum - either say goodbye to Louise forever or join them so they could be a family.
Maxie agreed to go with Peter but she tried to convince him to let Louise go. Peter was reluctant so Maxie appealed to him by making him think they could start fresh somewhere else and not subject Louise to a life on the run. After Peter was convinced to let Louise go, Maxie told him she could take Louise back to Brook Lynn, but Peter said no and decided to take Louise to a fire house instead. Once they got there, Peter told Maxie to put Louise inside the fire house's small door. Maxie was hesitant, but Peter said that she has to unless she was lying to him. Maxie then put Louise in the small door and tearfully said goodbye to her and hoped she could forgive her someday. Peter told Maxie that this wasn't goodbye. After they left, Peter took Maxie to a car and they left Port Charles after Maxie secretly left a clue for Anna to find.
On February 17, it was revealed that Peter and Maxie went to Switzerland. As Peter was driving her to their destination, Maxie asked if they could stop to use the restroom. Peter wondered if it was a trick but Maxie claimed that it wasn't, so Peter stopped and Maxie went into a restroom. However, she secretly left another clue and got rid of her earrings before leaving a note on the mirror to call Anna Devane for help. Peter stood guard outside but luckily he didn't know what Maxie was really up to in there. After Maxie said she was all done, they got back in the car and Peter apologized for standing guard but he didn't want her to leave, even though he claimed that she wasn't his prisoner.
On February 18, Peter and Maxie went to Peter's Swiss Farmhouse and he told her the story of how he grew up there. He told her how the farmhouse was like a sanctuary to him and he said that he could picture them making the farmhouse into their home. When Peter noticed that Maxie didn't have her earrings anymore, he asked her what happened to them and Maxie claimed that she lost one on their flight so she just ditched the other one. Peter seemed to buy it and said that it would be rubies and diamonds for Maxie from here on out. Peter said that one day they could send for Louise and they could have James West and Georgie Spinelli there with them. Maxie then tried to placate Peter some more by claiming that she now understands that everything Peter did was out of love for her and their daughter.
Peter said that when the trail went cold and it became safe then they could bring Louise back and if the worst happened then he's prepared. After Peter pulled out his gun and showed it to Maxie, she asked him to put it away and he did. After Peter gave her the name of the nearest village, Maxie claimed that she was cold so Peter offered to build a fire. After he left to do so, Maxie began searching for a map and when Peter came back, he caught her and asked if she was going on a hike. Maxie suggested that they should take a walk and Peter thought that was a great idea but it would have to wait until tomorrow. He said that it was getting dark and that's when the wolves come out.
When Maxie realized that Peter just threatened her, she revealed that she planned to escape the first chance she got. Peter thought that Maxie would have kept up the charade for at least 48 hours and said that her attempts were pretty pathetic. Maxie told him from here on out he would get nothing but the truth from her - her children are safe and on the other side of the world away from him. Maxie wanted to go back to the beginning to when Nathan West - the man that she really loved - was killed by Faison. Maxie reminded Peter that he manipulated Lulu Spencer into publishing that article about Nathan being Faison's son which led to Faison returning to Port Charles and eventually killing Nathan.
When Maxie asked if Peter planned for Faison to kill Nathan, Peter revealed that he didn't plan that out but said it couldn't have worked out better for him if he had. Maxie said that she convinced herself that since Nathan was dead, being with Peter was the next best thing and she never looked past his faรงade. She told Peter that he played her but she let him and that's on her. When Peter sarcastically said โBrava!โ, Maxie said that she dug this hole and now she's going to dig herself out or die trying. Peter wanted her to sit down with him and have a glass of wine, but Maxie kneed Peter in the groin and escaped from the farmhouse. In pain, Peter screamed that he was never letting her go.
After Maxie made her way to the road and flagged down a car, she was surprised to see her mother, Felicia and they took off in a car. Peter then chased them down and caused them to crash their car. After Maxie got out, she led Peter away from Felicia and he chased her down. Peter then fired a gunshot and aimed his gun at Maxie. He told her to come to him or he'd shoot her where she stood. Maxie said she would rather die than be with him so she told him to go ahead and shoot her. Peter screamed that Maxie was supposed to save him but instead she abandoned him, so he told her that this was all her fault and he went to kill her, but Felicia appeared with a tire iron and hit Peter over the head as hard as she could, which caused him to fall down a slope and lose consciousness as his gun flew out of his hand and onto the ground.
Maxie went up to Peter and called his name as Felicia asked if he was dead. Maxie said she didn't know as she picked up Peter's gun. When Felicia came down and took Peter's gun from Maxie, Drew and Anna found them and they each had a gun. Drew checked Peter's pulse and said that he was still alive but they needed to get paramedics down there as soon as possible or else he wouldn't make it. Peter woke up and he lost feeling in his legs. He weakly called for Maxie, who refused to give him any sympathy and said that 5 minutes ago he tried to kill her. As Anna went to call an ambulance, Drew also coldly told Peter that if he survived then he would spend the rest of his life in a cell and nobody cared about him. He also told Peter that unlike him, he and Jason were innocent and had lives to get back to. After Peter called for Maxie again, she told him she was leaving. After Anna returned, Felicia, Maxie and Drew went up to wait for the paramedics. Peter then said that it was just the two of them and Anna agreed.
After Anna went up to Felicia, Maxie and Drew, she revealed to them that Peter is dead. Maxie was relieved that the nightmare was finally over and that she could finally take Louise home. Word later got back to Port Charles and everyone else learned that Peter is dead and that Felicia killed him.
On March 8, someone went to give Britt a letter and an evidence box full of Peter's personal effects. When Britt opened up the letter, she told Maxie that the box is what's left of Peter and she has become his executor. Britt wants to call the bomb squad and almost throws the box off the Metro Court balcony before Sam and Dante stop her. They arrange for a false Tarot card to be placed in the box and Victor pockets the card when Maxie and Britt fight over it causing the box to fall open on the ground. Keys, a wallet, cash in a clip, and a passport are seen inside. Dante asks Britt if the PCPD can have the box.
On September 7, Peter's gravestone is seen vandalized at the Port Charles Woodlawn Cemetery.
On October 14, Britt admits to Maxie that she still has Peter's evidence box. Britt talks to Cody about the box and decides to open it with him. They find a key that Cody recognizes belongs to a safety deposit box.
On October 25, Britt and Cody go to a bank and open the box. They find a real diamond and ruby necklace inside.Crimes Committed[]
