[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 440045, member: 27"] I'm thinking the piece of "art" (and I use that term loosely) Ric bought for Liz will be tied to dead Delilah. The shady provenance on the piece only adds to the suspicion, what with Delilah (RIP) having ties to art galleries and an art-y tattoo on her arm, plus the suspiciously empty purse next to her when she was found. She could have had that piece with her, intending to fence it when someone caught up and stole it from her after beating her up. I could see Ric (and Ava) unaware that maybe the piece was stolen by its previous owner and the real owner being willing to kill to get it back. (I'm not sure they want to make Ethan the father of baby Phoebe.) Ric placing Liz in danger by giving her a valuable piece of art is just the kind of "best intentions, worst outcomes" maneuver we have come to expect from him. Also, I've come to the conclusion that they're going to reveal Cassius is not one of the "big bads" and is in fact working inside the Sidwell/Cullum organization to bring them down, all while pretending to be working with them. Back when Jason last returned, he was being forced to work for Agent Cates on a sort of "death squad" that went around assassinating various mob figures. While Jason pretended to be going along, he was actually undermining their efforts and making sure certain people (like Sonny, Ava, and Ms. Wu) did not get killed. This looks like a similar situation, since Cassius has been doing various "lackey work" for Sidwell and Cullum, but he has not murdered anyone or done anything terribly evil. In fact, he's shown the ability to help the good guys and kept key information from Sidwell and especially Cullum that keeps those two for succeeding. I think his decision to lock Joss in the Wyndemere dungeon was ultimately for her own good as well as his own; I don't think Sidwell even knows she's in his basement, since Cassius is bringing her food rather than Pascal (who would definitely tell S&C that she's there and a WSB agent). Everyone just assumed that Cassius is a bad guy because of his grand Nathan deception, but he's been doing as much good as bad with respect to the "Faison's Final Project" story. He will definitely have to answer for the stolen identity, but just marking him down as another villain in the piece doesn't ring true. Sure, Cassius's father is Cesar Faison, but then Faison was Nathan's dad too and Nathan was undeniably one of the good guys. [/QUOTE]
