Danny’s Decision Spirals Out of Control
At the Quartermaine mansion, Danny nervously confessed to Jason that he had brought Scout home from camp without telling anyone. Scout insisted she didn’t want her father, Drew, involved since he had been unreliable in keeping his promises to let her visit.
Jason called Alexis, who rushed over from a meeting about Scout’s custody. While Danny defended his decision as harmless, insisting Scout only wanted family time, Drew soon learned of her disappearance. Concerned, he showed up with Harrison Chase. Scout resisted leaving without seeing Monica, but Drew was adamant. In a shocking turn, Drew ordered Chase to arrest Danny for kidnapping, leaving Jason and Alexis stunned at the drastic escalation.
