GH’s Britt Westbourne Sold Her Soul to Jenz Sidwell to Protect Rocco Falconeri and the Price Is Going to Break Her

BRITT WESTBOURNE IS TRADING HER LIFE FOR ROCCO FALCONERI’S

TL;DR: On Wednesday’s General Hospital, Britt Westbourne heard Rocco Falconeri’s full confession about Pier 55 and made the most devastating decision of her life. Minutes after swearing off the Faison cold fusion weapon project and begging Lucas Jones to let her turn everything over, Britt called for the launch to Spoon Island and told Jenz Sidwell she had work to do. She is re-signing herself up for the weapon project to keep a teenager alive. And she is doing it alone.

Rocco Falconeri Told Britt the Whole Story and It Changed Everything

Rocco Falconeri laid the entire Pier 55 night out in the hospital chapel and Britt Westbourne listened to every word of it. He followed her to the pier because he was worried about her. He hid. He watched her hand Lucas Jones the drive. He watched Ross Cullum smash the item she had brought and then go for her gun. He froze when she went down. He saw Jason Morgan arrive and he saw Cullum knock Jason down and pull a baton. He knew in that moment that Cullum was going to kill Jason first and Britt second.

So a teenager who had never held a gun in his life picked one up off the ground, held it wrong enough to injure his own hand, and shot a federal agent in the back to save two adult lives.

Britt heard all of it and realized something she could not walk back. Rocco saved her. Rocco is a fifteen-year-old boy who saved her. And the man whose back Rocco put a bullet in is sitting in a hospital bed two floors up with every resource the WSB has ever given him, and if Cullum ever finds out a teenager pulled that trigger, Rocco does not make it to his sixteenth birthday.

Do you think Britt is making the right call, or is she going to get herself killed trying to protect Rocco? Send your hottest takes to [email protected] and we just might publish them!

The Decision Britt Made the Second Rocco Left the Chapel

Hours earlier in Lucas’s office, Britt had been begging him to let her turn the whole operation over. She said she would rather die of Huntington’s than keep helping Sidwell and Cullum build Cesar Faison‘s cold fusion weapon. She was ready to confess to Sidwell that Cullum murdered Marco Rios. Lucas talked her off the ledge. She warned him she did not know how much more she could take.

Then Rocco walked in and told her he was the reason Cullum was still breathing.

Britt did not hesitate. She told Rocco to go home. She told him to tell no one. She promised she could take care of herself. She made a phone call. She requested the launch to Spoon Island. She said she had work to do.

That is a woman who just traded her life. She is not going back to Sidwell because she changed her mind about the weapon. She is going back because the only way to keep Rocco safe is to keep Cullum satisfied, and the only way to keep Cullum satisfied is to keep working on the project he has been holding over her head since the beginning. Britt Westbourne, who was one good conversation with Lucas away from blowing the whole thing open, just put her head back down and picked the shovel back up. For a boy she has known for five minutes.

Nobody in Port Charles Knows Britt Is Doing This Alone

Here is the part that is going to hurt worst. Lucas thinks Britt is staying the course on their takedown plan. Lucas has no idea that Britt now has a competing priority that overrides everything they built together. Britt is not going to tell him because telling him means telling him about Rocco, and telling Lucas about Rocco is one more person who could accidentally leak it to Cullum. So Lucas is going to keep building a plan Britt has quietly stopped running.

Lulu Spencer knows what Rocco did but does not know Britt now knows. Nathan West, or whoever is currently wearing Nathan’s face in Port Charles, helped cover it up and has not spoken to Britt about any of it. Dante Falconeri is actively investigating the case without knowing his son is the shooter. Britt is now the node that connects every single person in on this secret, and she is the only one of them who has decided to eat the consequences herself.

She is going to Spoon Island. She is going to nod and smile at Sidwell. She is going to keep the weapon project moving. She is going to do it while Huntington’s keeps eating at her and while Marco’s murder goes unsolved and while every instinct she has screams at her to blow the whole thing up. And she is going to do it for a fifteen-year-old boy who is not even hers.

What Happens to Britt Westbourne Now

Britt has a Huntington’s diagnosis she has been outrunning. Britt has a murder she watched the WSB commit. Britt has a weapon project she hates. Britt now has a teenager whose entire life depends on her ability to keep her mouth shut and her head down.

That is not a sustainable equation for a woman who is already running out of time.

The weapon project is going to demand more from her. Sidwell is going to push. Cullum is going to heal. Dante is going to keep pulling on the Pier 55 thread and every step closer he gets to the truth is a step closer Cullum gets to figuring out who actually shot him. Britt is the human shield now and the shield has cracks in it she does not have the bandwidth to patch.

The tragedy of Britt Westbourne is that she found her way back to being a decent person and Port Charles is about to make her pay for it with her life. Rocco is going to grow up not knowing what she gave up for him. Lulu is not going to know. Dante is not going to know. Nathan, whoever he actually is, is going to watch her from a distance and not be able to help.

The only person who is going to know what Britt did is Britt. And that is the kind of loneliness that kills people faster than Huntington’s ever could.

Is Britt Westbourne going to survive what she just signed up for, or is this the beginning of her last storyline? Sound off below because this comment section is about to get emotional!
