Will Sonny and His Family *Really* Let Alexis Go Down for His Crime on General Hospital?

An arrest for Cates’ murder was made on General Hospital, but it’s not who we thought would go down for it! Sasha, Mac and Cody fans finally had a reason to rejoice. And it’s Jason to save the day again, as he’s off to rescue Lucky, but with some help

The Davis Girls’ Drama — This Week’s Main Focus

Last week, I was certain Alexis tossing the gun into the canyon and looking like a suspect was only a plot point to lead the PCPD to arrest Kristina for Cates’ murder. That didn’t happen, but I’m not ruling it out. In the final moments of Friday’s episode, Kristina admitted to Michael she did make a stop at the Quartermaine mansion and considered killing Cates. So basically, Alexis’ car was spotted by someone or security footage, and the PCPD assumed Alexis was in it. At least, that’s what it looks like right now.

However, Chase questioned Kristina in the same episode, and she admitted to going to the cemetery that night. So I’m not counting out this coming back around to Kristina eventually. Also, how can they not have looked into who was behind the wheel? And Alexis’ phone logs, calling people about Kristina that night, should also put her at her house through the phone’s GPS. Of course, there I go again, thinking this is real life, not real life! Plus, Alexis will let herself go down if it means saving Kristina.

Sonny made it clear to Alexis that he wouldn’t let Kristina go down for killing Cates, which again makes me think this could be what forces him to confess. However, he doesn’t seem to be doing much to help Alexis, other than promising to get her a great attorney. Diane giving Sonny hell for the position he put her in, not being able to defend Alexis, who they both know is innocent, was a great scene. However, I want more from her. I want Diane to tell Sonny she quits in order to defend Alexis! How long can Diane protect Sonny at the expense of her so-called best friend?

Molly proved she was her father’s daughter by taking a page out of Ric’s playbook and suggesting to the cops that Kristina didn’t have an alibi the night of Cates’s murder. It didn’t take her long to find a way to get revenge on her sister! It looks like their sisterly relationship is unrepairable at this point. I’m hoping Molly will eventually get some blowback for what she did.

Then there is Carly and Michael. They know what Sonny did and are covering for him, so if they let Alexis or anyone else go down for this, it would ruin them as characters. However, for some viewers, they were ruined ages ago. There is no way Sonny can get out of this unless he lets someone close to him take the fall. Obviously, there has to be a big twist we never saw coming about to happen. Oh, and don’t get me started on Michael’s idiotic suggestion they pay one of Cates’ enemies to say it was them. Yeah, here’s a million dollars in exchange for you confessing and getting the death penalty

Pondering the Other Storylines

I loved Sasha’s surprise brunch, which helped facilitate family bonding for Cody, Mac, and the Scorpios. James, once again, was the scene stealer for not only blurting out about Cody and Sasha’s supposed sleepovers but also calling Tracy out for being hangry. In the end, fans of these characters finally got to see Cody and Mac accepting one another and Cody and Sasha moving forward in a relationship. The only downer? As pointed out by viewers in that day’s recap, they chose to have a lovely brunch where Cates had just been murdered. What’s that, James? Oh, that’s a ketchup stain from a previous barbeque… Yeah, ketchup…

Tracy let poor Sasha have it for daring to take a day off and have friends over, and for a split second, it looked like we had lost the new and improved Tracy. However, both Felicia’s and later Lois’ reasonings for how Tracy acted this week were sound. She’s jealous of Cody no longer being a lone wolf. Also, the notion of Brook Lynn and Chase starting a family made her fearful of losing time and her special bond with Brook Lynn. Okay, I’ll let this outburst slide, but I’ll be watching you, Tracy!

Robo-Lois needs to go! Her new zero-tone accent is awful. Maxie and Lucy’s reactions to it were priceless. Did someone break Lois? Is your throat hurting? She must be having a stroke! Also, I love Maxie’s new platinum blonde look!

Jack Brennan and Carly proved yet again that they are magic when they are together on screen. More! More! More! However, Carly’s newfound obsession with being a Spencer and determination to help her cousin isn’t working for me. She wants to be the family matriarch? No, sorry, that’s Laura’s job! Where did this all come from? Is it all to facilitate Jason playing the hero and going off to Africa to save Lucky because Carly asked him to?

Not only is Jason off to save Lucky, but he’s also joining Anna, who is headed to Africa. This week was obviously not the end of Anna and Jason’s working relationship, but where are Laura and Kevin? Did they give up and go on a safari? Laura MUST be a part of saving her son. It’s ridiculous to leave this all up to Jason as usual.

So it looks like Elizabeth overheard Willow confessing her feelings for Drew to the unconscious Lulu. Where is this going? Actually, do we even care?

Jordan and Isaiah clearly are headed towards becoming a couple. Oh, and they casually let it be known he’s a world class transplant doctor. So basically, Lulu will be in good hands!

I continue to enjoy Nina and Ava working their way back towards being friends and Nina convincing Ric to take Ava’s case on. Plus, Ric also assured Curtis he was only representing Heather in a malpractice lawsuit, he’s not taking on her criminal case. I guess we know what Scott will be doing whenever he reappears. If not, Portia will have to find someone else to fixate her screeching towards.

With a new Lulu cast, it has to be a matter of time before Charlotte and Valentin return, right?

That’s it for my thoughts, opinions, and predictions this week! As always, leave yours in the comments below.
