After the drama, Michael mixes it up with Jason, who doesn’t want him getting involved in the mob.

Rebecca had a twin sister who was given up for adoption to a loving, extremely wealthy family, while she was basically sold. Rebecca is looking to get what is hers from the Quartermaines. Nikolas was probably part of the plan, but now it is getting complicated because Rebecca has started having genuine feelings for him.
