On "General Hospital," Mr. Brennan told Roman Hume that both Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Anna Devane were his priority. Hume was curious why they just didn't eliminate Sonny, and Brennan admitted that while it was still an option, it would be a "last resort," because he understood that if Sonny was killed, it would create a power vacuum in the mafia world, and the Five Families would start fighting over Sonny's territory — specifically the waterways of Port Charles. This would incur an investigation by state and federal law enforcement.
Hume agreed because shedding light on Pikeman's operation would affect its ability to sell merchandise internationally. Brennan felt getting Sonny to cooperate was ideal, but because the money they offered him didn't work, he stated they needed to find another influence. This could imply that he would use Sonny's ex-wife Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) to control him because he'd made a connection with her when he was at Kelly's diner.
Meanwhile, Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) has been investigating who fired the shot at the Metro Court hotel that paralyzed him and picked Sonny's brain about who he thought shot at him and Anna in July. Sonny said his list of enemies was equal to Anna's. He also explained that the sniper rifle found at the scene had been taken from a WSB base in Berlin, although that didn't necessarily mean Anna was the target.
