First, why is he acting like it has to be a permanent situation? It seems very possible that they will figure out what is going on and then Dacy will be safe again. Or at least as safe as she was before Willow started the gaslighting. Sure, she’s still connected to Sonny, so like his children and other grandchildren, she is at risk from that connection, but I don’t see anyone scooping up those other kids and fleeing the country.
But even if, for reasons I obviously can’t figure out, this move has to be a permanent one, Michael has the means to visit whenever he likes, and to cover his tracks if he needs to.
If SM is leaving, I get that they need a story to facilitate that, but all of this losing my daughter angst from Michael is just dumb.
