At Kelly’s, Bobbie, Carly and Felicia sit with the reporter. Angela explains she met Bobbie in Amsterdam where she was stationed and worked with her. Carly’s confused as her mom was settling Luke’s affairs. Angela reveals she was also working with an organization to help women escape human trafficking. Carly asks how her mother got involved?
Angela details Bobbie was working with an organization behind the scenes, and Bobbie confided in her about when she was a teenage prostitute and she herself was trafficked, though they didn’t call it that back then. Angela says Bobbie a pivotal role in helping numerous women escape. That’s why she wanted to do the article, but Bobbie couldn’t say much without putting a contact on the inside at risk. Bobbie was also trying to find a way to get asylum for a woman who was being searched for by many people. She has no idea if the woman safely made it to the US.
Carly steps out for air, and Felicia checks on her. Carly says she knew something else was going on, and who was this last victim her mom was trying to help and what happened to them? Felicia says unfortunately without Bobbie’s contact, they don’t have a lead, but Carly says they do.

Tracy says Bobbie snuck off a lot, and she followed her to a café once and thinks she went there often. Carly asks what the name of the place was.
Back at Kelly’s, outside Felicia thinks back on memories of Bobbie. Maxie and Angela come out, and Felicia hopes Bobbie knows she would have done anything for her. She tells the reporter she has kind eyes if anyone hasn’t told her. Angela says empathy is part of the job. Felicia decides to walk home alone and think about Bobbie. She tells Angela it was nice to meet her. Felicia departs, and Angela notes Maxie has a special bond with her mom. Maxie says she’s the best, and Angela feels the same about hers.
Maxie and Angela head inside, and Maxie says she admires her dedication to finishing this article. Maxie offers to arrange to set her up with people in Port Charles who knew Bobbie and asks her to meet her back here tomorrow and she won’t be disappointed.

As Carly heads out with her suitcase, Felicia arrives with hers and offers to go with her. Drew called her and told her what she learned. Felicia can help her as a former PI, and Bobbie gave her life meaning and she owes her everything. Carly says they better get going and have a plane to catch.
