## Storylines

On August 13-14, 2018; it was revealed that Michael Carson and Shawn Phillips had intercepted Cassandra Pierce from WSB custody in revenge for former Ferncliff staff members Mary Pat Ingles, Rupert Watson, and Kurt Lasaris as they used Anna as bait to have Finn wake her up.

On August 23, 2018 Finn woke Cassandra up from her coma and he and Anna told her she had an infectious disease so they made a deal with her. If she helped them figure out who their captors are then Finn would treat her and if she refused then they would put her back into a coma.

On August 24, 2018 as Cassandra pretended to be in a coma Finn drugged their captors and they escaped while Cassandra was left behind. She was eventually kidnapped by a mysterious man wearing a Cassadine man ring while Margaux Dawson is the district attorney of Port Charles until she resigned from her position and left town on June 18, 2019 after Michael Carson and Shawn Phillips were taken into custody by the New York State Police.

On July 31, 2019; Cassandra was seen on vacation after she escaped from the unknown man with the Cassadine ring still on the run and met Michael Corinthos and Nina's 'daughter' Sasha more than one month after Margaux Dawson resigned as the District Attorney without Michael or Sasha informing it to Sonny, Carly, Jason, Valentin, Nina, Robert, Anna, Curtis, Jordan, or Chase the same day that Hank Archer aka Shiloh visited Arthur Cabot who had been released from prison in his hotel room.

On September 17, Curtis and Mayor Laura Collins found Cassandra on the Haunted Star and she pulled a gun on them. Cassandra ordered them to tie themselves up as Curtis initially proposed they could form an alliance to take down Valentin and eventually Curtis disarmed her. After she lost the upper hand and was tied up, she tried to form an alliance with them but Laura called the police and Cassandra was arrested as Cassandra made Harrison Chase as her new enemy afterward.

At the police station, Cassandra offered to help Laura take down Valentin in exchange for her freedom but Laura shot her down by saying she didn't have that power, so Cassandra demanded her one phone call. She called Valentin and asked him to meet with her.

On September 19, Cassandra was disinfecting the interrogation room and Sonny walked in to have a chat with her. He told her she made a big mistake in poisoning Sasha and that she could have also poisoned Michael and told her to watch her back. Alexis Davis showed up as Cassandra's lawyer and she said there wasn't much she can do for Cassandra since the WSB was planning to extradite her but Cassandra asked to delay the extradition. After Alexis agreed, Cassandra had wired $10,000 dollars into Alexis' account and blackmailed her mysterious partner into helping her.

On October 31 Halloween, she meets Sam McCall who had been framed for Shiloh's escape by Peter August and Bryce Henderson orders and gains her new cellmate.

The aftermath lead to her henchmen being arrested and sent to prison at Pentonville Penitentiary as well as Sam meeting her new cellmate Nelle Benson. Months later, her male counterpart Cyrus Renault who bores an uncanny resemblance to the late Cesar Faison strikes Port Charles in revenge in 2020 after Dolores Maloney became Sam's parole officer in the beginning of the year as well as music producer Linc Brown coming into Port Charles later on replacing Drew and Dante.
