For Better, For Worse, For Court Purposes! Will Ava Jerome and Drew Cain Really Say I Do Before Going Down For Murder?

DREW CAIN IS RUNNING OUT OF TIME TO MARRY AVA

TL;DR: Drew Cain and Ava Jerome think a quickie wedding will keep them from testifying against each other, but the guest list could cost them everything. Catch more General Hospital spoilers while the clock ticks.

A Wedding Is Their Best Plan And Their Worst Timing

Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and Ava Jerome (Maura West) have decided the fastest exit from a murder investigation is an aisle. A husband cannot be made to testify against his wife, so two matching rings would turn a pair of nervous suspects into one very tidy team. That is the theory, anyway. The practice is a frantic scramble to get those vows locked down before anyone with a badge gets bored of waiting.

Their biggest obstacle is sentimental. Drew and Ava both want Scout Cain (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) and Avery Corinthos (Ava Scarola and Grace Scarola) standing right there when they say I do. Adorable! Also wildly reckless. Every minute spent rounding up the kids is a minute the cops can use to come knocking, and a wedding that happens after the handcuffs protects exactly nobody.

If The Rings Never Happen, The Knives Come Out

Without a marriage license, Drew Cain and Ava are two people holding grenades with the pins already loose. Drew has a recording of Ava. Ava has already warned she will name Drew as the mastermind. Both of them are staring at jail time, and in a standoff like that, the first person to cut a deal gets to walk out the front door while the other one gets the cell.

Monet Mitchell (Blythe Howard) has hinted at a plan to secure Ava’s silence, which sounds comforting until you remember how silence tends to get secured in Port Charles. Is it a legal fix, or something far less polite? Either way, a bride who has to be kept quiet is not a bride who trusts her groom.

City Hall Is Getting Crowded

The clerk’s office is turning into a traffic jam. Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) is stalling there, and Joe Fitzpatrick (Jonathan Bennett) and Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) are racing to City Hall after that sticky note about the marriage license. Are they hurrying to stop the wedding, or to catch whoever signs the paperwork? Every extra stop is a gift to the investigators and a nightmare for a couple who needed those vows yesterday.

Picture the worst timing imaginable. The license finally clears, the kids are finally in their nicest outfits, and a squad car pulls up before anyone says a word. That is the moment Drew Cain looks at Ava, Ava looks at Drew, and each one quietly starts calculating who talks first.

Which storyline has you the most obsessed? Drop it in the comments below, we’re dying to talk about this!

Who Blinks First At The Altar?

Here is the cruel math. Drew and Ava insisted on doing this the sweet way, with the kids watching, and sweet is slow. Slow gives the investigation room to move, and it gives each of them one more day to wonder whether the person they are about to marry has already worked out how to sell them out. If the rings land first, they get a shield. If the rings land second, they get a very awkward trial. Do you think Drew Cain and Ava Jerome make it to the altar, or does one of them bolt for the witness stand?
