Storylines[]
At the end of the episode from May 10, 2021 a week after Jerome Grisham was knocked out and the deaths of Carl Pine and Trent Beech respectively; Maxie Jones answers a knock at her door to a woman whom she greets as "Nurse Jennings" to which she answers "That's me!" Maxie invites who she thinks is Nurse Jennings into her apartment to discuss the arrangements to take care of her daughter. Marie is actually wearing a bluetooth earpiece with Peter August feeding the woman all the things to say in the interview as well as the answers to Maxie's questions with Marie repeating everything Peter is saying to her. Maxie is impressed and decides to hire her. When Marie mentions that taking care of her daughter will be an honor, Maxie is surprised that she knows she's expecting a girl and asks her how she knows. Marie covers by saying she noticed the way she was carrying. Marie is shown to have a bunch of vials for the virus Chase has in a safe.
Maxie is at GH with Dr. Navarro while Peter talks to Marie. He wants Maxie to grow to trust her new nurse before she is taken to Pautauk, New York to deliver the baby. Peter says that he will disappear with Maxie and the baby afterwards as a new family. After Peter hears that Maxie will be induced by her due date next Friday if she hasn't given birth, he calls Marie. He says he didn't want to be seen with her so he is calling her to say they need to move up their timeline. Marie has to get Maxie out of town without anyone noticing.
Maxie tells Peter she is going to the Whispering Pines Spa for a babymoon package. When Peter asks "Isn't a babymoon for couples?", Maxie says it is a women-only spa. She also says her godfather Sean Donely just died and she needs some time away. Peter declares that Marie will be going with Maxie. Later Maxie schedules on the spa website for Marie to get a deluxe mani/pedi and full body scrub as well as a two hour treatment called Ultimate Transcendence so Maxie can sneak away to Beechers Corners and have Bobbie deliver her baby.
Peter meets Marie at General Hospital, so she can get the drugs she needs to induce Maxie's labor so she can deliver the baby, and Peter can escape with them. Marie tells Peter that she used to work with the pharmacist, so she was able to use her real name and nurses' accreditation to get the drugs she needed.
Marie makes Maxie get in a wheelchair and injects Maxie to knock her out. She drives an unconscious Maxie to Pautauk and holds her captive in a Country House. Maxie throws hot water in Marie's face and knocks her out with a firepoker.
Dr. Austin Gatlin-Holt finds Maxie in the woods and helps her give birth. He saves her baby who wasn't breathing and is knocked out by Marie. Maxie kicks Marie in the shin and runs over to a boarded up spot on the ground. She puts some rocks on the boards and Marie comes after Maxie who asks if she has kids. Marie says she doesn't but maybe she will take Maxie's. Maxie wonders if that is what this is all about. Marie falls to her death through the boards into a pit.
Peter starts to get upset when he can't reach Marie. When Maxie is brought to the hospital, she tells Peter that Marie took her baby and ran off with her. Peter admitted that Chloe wasn't even her real name and Maxie told Peter she has been recording him. On June 18, Austin leads Dante through the woods and pushes Dante out of the way before he falls into a mine shaft. Dante finds a body at the bottom of the shaft.
On June 21, Dante tells Maxie that he found Marie in the mine shaft.
On June 30, Marie's name is revealed.
