overcome all that has happened so they agree to divorce. In 2016, they decided to not sign the divorce papers and give their marriage a second chance by going to couple's therapy. Following their reconciliation, the couple move into a new home, and begin discussions of having a second child together. In December, Dante and Lulu meet Lulu's daughter Charlotte Cassadine with Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart). In June 2018, Dante leaves Port Charles to join the WSB in finding Raj Patel, the man who attacked and attempted to kill Lulu two years prior. In March 2019, Sonny goes undercover to find Dante, bringing him to Turkey, where they work together to escape, resulting in Dante killing Raj in self-defense. When Dante returns home and reunites with his family, he begins showing signs of PTSD with nightmares and episodes, even going as far as attempting to pull a knife on Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) without realizing it. Dante leaves Port Charles and Lulu files for divorce, which he does not contest. The following year, Dante is seen in a WSB Facility in Switzerland. He is released in September to take down Peter August (Wes Ramsey). It's later revealed that Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) is the one who arranged for Dante to be released, and it's also revealed that she ordered Dr. Kirk (Christopher Cousins) to brainwash Dante into completing the mission. In March 2021, following Peter's exposure, Obrecht activates Dante's programming and orders him to kill Peter. After she leaves, Dante lures Peter down to the cemetery, and aims a gun at him once he arrives. Dante almost kills Peter, but Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) arrives just in time to stop him. After Peter gets away, Dante realizes that he's not recovered like he thought he was, and realizes he needs some help. Sam promises to get him some help, so she takes him to the hospital to see Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom). Kevin is able to successfully deprogram Dante, so Dante can finally move on. In May, Dante decides to rejoin the PCPD.
