On June 28, 2019, Sasha reveals to Valentin that she has decided to make Port Charles her permanent home due to her relationship with Nina and her new relationship with Michael. Valentin doesn't like this because she was only supposed to stay until his and Nina's September wedding. For her to stay longer, it would make the risk of the secret being revealed greater.
On July 31, Sasha and Michael went to Puerto Rico on vacation and they met a woman named Sandy Lance, who was actually Cassandra Pierce. Sasha told "Sandy" that she was Nina's daughter which took "Sandy" by surprise. "Sandy" invited Sasha and Michael for breakfast at 8:30 the next morning and they accepted her invitation. Before they went to meet her, Cassandra drugged a grapefruit half and had Sasha sit by her. Sasha ended up eating the spiked grapefruit before "Sandy" got a selfie with them and said it was a pleasure meeting them before leaving the island.
On August 7, Sasha started getting sick and she eventually fainted and lost consciousness from being drugged although no one knew why at first. She was taken to the hospital where it was revealed that she has been infected with a virus called Influenza. Dr. Hamilton Finn advised Sasha's loved ones that they should be tested in case it was contagious and Sasha had to be moved to isolation. On August 26, Sasha learned she got sick with Avian Influenza A also known as bird flu plus she and Michael eventually learned from Nina and Valentin that "Sandy Lance" was actually a drug kingpin named Cassandra Pierce. Eventually, Sasha showed signs of improvement and she started getting better.
On September 16, Sasha confessed to Michael that she is not Nina's daughter and that she was hired by Valentin because she needed the money to help take care of her sick grandmother, who died from complications. She also confessed that she's grown to love Nina and said she was the only family she had left after losing her grandmother. Michael was upset at first and as Nina and Valentin entered and asked if they were interrupting, Michael said they were finished and left. However, later on at the Metro Court, Michael visited Sasha and apologized for how he reacted and acknowledged that she was nothing like Nelle Benson since she was only trying to help her sick grandmother.
On October 2, Sasha tearfully told Liesl Obrecht that she didn't know how much longer she could keep up the lie and Obrecht said that Nina could never know the truth and Lulu Spencer overheard. At Nina and Valentin's wedding, Lulu eventually stopped the wedding and revealed that Sasha isn't Nina's daughter. Nina didn't believe Lulu and told Sasha to tell everyone that it wasn't true, but Sasha teared up and revealed that she was not Nina's daughter. Nina didn't believe it initially but realized that it was true and all a con and she was heartbroken and angry by the deception. Everyone was suspicious that Valentin had something to do with the con but Sasha never confirmed it. Michael stood by her and took her out of town after Nina stormed out of the wedding and after Maxie and Lulu berated her.
On October 11, Sasha told Nina that her actions were her own and tried to convince her that Valentin and Liesl were not involved but Nina didn't buy any of it and threatened to call security if she didn't leave the crimson office. Michael eventually told Sasha at Charlie's Pub that the way she told Nina about Valentin not being involved was wrong, but he understood that her motives were good. He did explain that the way she went about it means she is waiting for another lie to be exposed, however he is still standing by her. On October 16, Sasha was arrested for her mistake so Michael hired Alexis Davis to represent Sasha and Alexis wanted to know what part Valentin played in the scam. Alexis called Nina to the PCPD and asked her if she would accept the offer for Sasha to pay everything back that she gave her but Nina refused. After Nina left, Sasha asked what happens next.
On October 21, it was revealed that Sasha got out of jail and she and Carly had a chat. At first Carly called Sasha a con artist and voiced her disappointment that she was wrong to think Sasha was different and Sasha didn't blame her at all but insisted she really cared about Michael. Eventually Carly admitted that she made mistakes too and that she came to town to destroy her mother's life and by the time everyone found out who she was that she had someone to stand by her during the fallout. Carly said that we all make mistakes and that the important thing is to learn from them and grow. Carly gave Sasha a second chance and told her to make the most of it and when Michael came back Carly said that she and Sasha came to an understanding.
