Shiloh makes bail and is back on the

streets of Port Charles. Among the first

people he encounters are Jason and Drew,

and quickly, things get heated.

Co-Head Writer Chris Van Etten notes,

“Getting out on bail is a big win for Shiloh,

but only a temporary win because he’s still

facing charges, he is still a pariah, and his

base of support is definitely fractured. He

needs money to defend himself, or in the

event that his defense fails, the means to

help himself disappear.” He offers Drew a

deal for the ELQ shares Oscar left him, “But

in invoking Drew’s dead son’s name, he

basically waves a red flag in front of Drew.”

Adds Co-Head Writer Shelly Altman,

“Shiloh is a master manipulator. He knows

he is poking the cobra, but he may not be

prepared for the venom that he has evoked.”

The men’s confrontation prompts Shiloh

to think back on his time overseas with a pre-

amnesiac Drew. Teases Altman, “Viewers

will learn a little more about the nature of

the relationship between Shiloh and Drew

in Afghanistan — and why Drew’s memory

of certain events is of critical importance to

Shiloh.”

Thomas once again uses Douglas to

manipulate Hope; this time, Thomas’s goal

is for her to spend the night with him. “In

Thomas’s thought process, he sees that for

him and Hope to be a real family, this is

something that needs to happen,” explains

Matthew Atkinson (Thomas). “However,

he wants this to be Hope’s decision, and

he sees her hesitancy, so he mentions to

Douglas that mommies and daddies should

spend time together. He doesn’t go into the

specifics of it but he does say, ‘If you tell

Hope that you want us to spend the night

together instead of her spending the night in

here with you every night, we’ll become a

normal family a lot quicker.’ ”

Thomas then sets the stage for an evening

of romance, assuming that Hope will honor

Douglas’s wishes. “There are rose petals,”

previews Atkinson. “He lights some candles

and he asks her to spend the night together.

Yes, he’s pushing things forward at an accel-

erated rate, but Thomas believes 100 percent

that this can happen, and it can happen

sooner than everyone may expect.”
