JACK BRENNAN JUST ASKED ABOUT CESAR FAISON’S “FINAL PROJECT” AND WE’RE SPIRALING ABOUT WHO ELSE MIGHT BE PROGRAMMED
TL;DR: GH’s Jack Brennan just casually dropped a bomb on Valentin Cassadine in a European prison about Cesar Faison‘s “final project,” and now we’re wondering if Port Charles is secretly crawling with programmed assassins who don’t even know they’re programmed assassins. Drew Cain‘s memories are coming back weird, Valentin‘s warning Charlotte not to trust Britt, and suddenly everything feels VERY suspicious. What if Faison created an entire army of sleeper agents before he died? What if they’re your neighbors? Your doctors? Your BARISTA?
Faison’s Final Project: Because One Brainwashed Son Wasn’t Enough
Let’s talk about Cesar Faison‘s greatest hits, shall we? The man faked his own death approximately seventeen times, obsessed over Anna Devane for decades, had multiple secret children running around, and oh yeah—he turned his own son Nathan West into a sleeper agent assassin without Nathan even knowing about it until it was almost too late.
So when Jack Brennan shows up at a maximum security prison specifically to ask Valentin about Faison‘s “final project,” we should probably be CONCERNED. Because if there’s one thing Faison loved more than wearing masks and faking accents, it was creating elaborate long-term schemes that would continue causing chaos long after his death.
Here’s what we know: Faison had access to mind control technology. He had connections to the DVX. He was obsessed with creating the “perfect” operatives. And he definitely had the resources to program multiple people before someone finally killed him for good (this time).
The question isn’t WHETHER Faison created more sleeper agents. The question is HOW MANY and WHO ARE THEY?
Drew Cain’s Convenient Memory Problems
Speaking of people with suspicious brain situations, let’s talk about Drew Cain. Our boy Drew has been having some INTERESTING flashbacks lately that aren’t quite adding up. He’s zoning out at Kelly’s while Carly watches nervously. His memories are coming back, but are they REAL memories or PLANTED memories?
Victor Cassadine already messed with Drew‘s brain once. We know Drew was conditioned and controlled. But what if Victor wasn’t the FIRST person to program him? What if Faison got to Drew years ago, planted some commands, and they’re only now activating?
Think about it: Drew was military. He was in all sorts of classified operations. He would have been the PERFECT candidate for Faison‘s sleeper agent program. And now that Drew‘s memories are returning, what if some of those memories trigger dormant programming that even Drew doesn’t know exists?
Carly‘s been acting WEIRD about Drew‘s flashbacks. She’s hovering. She’s nervous. Does she know something? Did Victor tell her something before he died? Or is she just worried her boyfriend is about to remember he’s a sleeper assassin and ruin their relationship? (Honestly both scenarios track.)
Britt Westbourne: Faison’s Daughter with Access to EVERYTHING
Now let’s talk about Britt Westbourne, who just conveniently returned to Port Charles right as all this Faison final project business is heating up. Britt is Faison‘s biological daughter. She grew up in that chaos. She has access to information that nobody else has.
And Valentin just specifically warned Charlotte not to trust Britt. Why? What does Valentin know about Britt and Faison‘s plans? Is Britt herself a sleeper agent? Is she activating OTHER sleeper agents? Is she just trying to survive in Port Charles like everyone else while her dead father’s schemes keep exploding around her?
Britt‘s been acting sketchy since she got back. She’s making threats. She’s negotiating with the WSB. She’s dropping hints about having information people want. What if Britt knows EXACTLY who the other sleeper agents are because Faison told her before he died? What if she’s using that information as leverage?
Or worse—what if Britt doesn’t even realize SHE’S one of the programmed agents and she’s about to activate?
Who Else Could Be a Faison Sleeper Agent?
This is where speculation gets REALLY fun. If Faison created multiple sleeper agents, who in Port Charles could secretly be programmed assassins? Let’s explore some delightfully paranoid possibilities:
Dex Heller. Think about it! Former military, mysterious background, suspiciously good at violence, showed up in Port Charles and immediately got involved with the Corinthos organization. What if Dex was programmed years ago and his mission is to infiltrate and destroy Sonny’s empire from the inside? What if his relationship with Josslyn is part of his programming?
Cody Bell. He’s got military training, a mysterious past, and connections to the Quartermaine family through the whole necklace situation. What if Faison programmed Cody as a backup plan and he doesn’t even know it? What if finding that necklace was the trigger that activated his programming?
Mason Gatlin. Okay this one’s a stretch but hear me out—Mason worked for Cyrus Renault, who had DVX connections. What if Faison and Cyrus were working together on the sleeper agent program? What if Mason was programmed to work with Austin to accomplish something specific?
Literally anyone who’s been to Steinmauer. That prison seems to be where EVERYONE gets programmed. Valentinwas there. Peter was connected to it. Drew was held there. What if Faison used Steinmauer as his sleeper agent factory and DOZENS of people got programmed over the years?
The Activation Trigger: What Wakes Up a Sleeper Agent?
Here’s what makes this theory extra scary: sleeper agents don’t know they’re sleeper agents until something ACTIVATES them. So what’s the trigger?
Could be a phrase. Could be a song. Could be a specific date. Could be seeing a certain person. Nathan‘s programming was tied to Faison‘s voice and specific commands. But what if Faison got more creative with his other agents?
What if Drew‘s flashbacks ARE the activation sequence? What if watching him remember specific things triggers OTHER people’s programming? What if there’s a cascade effect where one agent activating causes others to activate in sequence?
And here’s the terrifying part: what if Faison‘s “final project” is designed to activate ALL the sleeper agents at ONCE? What if there’s a master trigger that Brennan is trying to find and prevent? What if Valentin knows what that trigger is and that’s why he’s warning Charlotte from prison?
Why This Theory Makes Too Much Sense
Look, is this speculation absolutely unhinged? Yes. Is it based on one conversation in a prison about a “final project”? Also yes. But does it actually FIT with everything GH has been setting up? UNFORTUNATELY YES.
Drew‘s weird memory problems, Britt‘s suspicious return, Brennan‘s sudden interest in Faison, Valentin‘s cryptic warnings—it all connects if Faison created multiple sleeper agents who are about to activate.
Plus, this is General Hospital. Of COURSE Faison created a bunch of programmed assassins. Of COURSE they’re in Port Charles. Of COURSE they’re about to activate at the worst possible time. This is exactly the kind of bonkers long-game storytelling that makes soaps delicious.
The only question is: who’s going to activate first, and how much chaos will they cause before someone figures out what’s happening?
The Bottom Line: Trust Nobody in Port Charles
So what’s the takeaway from this deeply paranoid speculation? Simple: if someone in Port Charles has military training, a mysterious past, or any connection whatsoever to the Cassadines, the DVX, or Steinmauer prison, they MIGHT be a Faison sleeper agent.
Your favorite character could be programmed. Your least favorite character could be programmed. That random new person who just showed up? DEFINITELY programmed. The barista at Kelly’s? Possibly programmed. Spinelli? Okay probably not but in this town you never know!
Faison was nothing if not thorough. If he created a “final project,” you can bet it’s elaborate, dangerous, and designed to cause maximum chaos. And with Brennan investigating and Drew‘s memories returning, we’re probably about to find out exactly what that project is.
Port Charles better buckle up. Because if there are multiple sleeper agents about to activate, things are going to get VERY interesting VERY quickly.
