GH SUPER SPOILER! Carly Spencer Hunting for Josslyn Is Exactly How Cullum Finds Her

CARLY SPENCER’S SEARCH COULD LEAD CULLUM STRAIGHT TO JOSSLYN

TL;DR: Carly Spencer’s daughter Josslyn is locked in a Wyndemere cell on General Hospital under Cassius’s watch. Valentin is begging Carly to leave Josslyn where Jack stashed her. Carly refuses. The unhinged theory: Carly’s relentless hunt for her daughter is exactly how Cullum finds her, and the cost could be Josslyn’s life.

Josslyn Is in a Cell and Carly Is Going to Find Her at the Worst Possible Time

Josslyn Jacks is locked in a cell at Wyndemere on General Hospital. Cassius, the man who has been pretending to be Nathan, is the one holding her there. He plays cards with her. He has confided that he has fallen in love with the life he has been faking. He told her he forgets sometimes that he is playing a part. And then he told her that once the cold fusion prototype is finished, he and Britt are going to have to disappear forever.

Josslyn is trying to flip him. Across town, Carly Spencer is trying to find her.

The unhinged theory of the day: Carly is the reason Josslyn does not survive this storyline.

Valentin Already Told Carly the Truth

Valentin Cassadine returned home from Carly’s hospital trip today and laid it out for her. With Jack Brennan in a coma, the only person who knows where Josslyn is being held is unconscious. Sidwell does not know. Cullum does not know. Carly does not know. That is, paradoxically, the safest situation for Josslyn the show has been able to deliver.

Valentin’s message to Carly was simple. Josslyn is in a cell, but Josslyn is also alive. The people who want her dead do not know where to look. The more Carly searches, the more attention she puts on her daughter’s existence. The smartest move Carly can make is to manufacture a cover story for Josslyn’s absence and let the people holding her keep her alive by accident.

Carly is not built for that.

Carly Cannot Sit Still and That Is the Problem

Carly Spencer is a mother. Carly is also a Spencer. Carly does not let her children stay missing. She will tell Valentin she understands his logic and then she will hit the phones the moment he leaves the room. She will hire her own people. She will pull favors with Sonny Corinthos. She will start asking questions in places that will get back to Cullum within an afternoon.

That is the trap. Every move Carly makes to find Josslyn is a flare visible from the WSB office. Cullum is already cleaning up loose ends. Cullum already noticed the photo at Carly’s mantle today. Cullum is going to notice the second Carly starts pulling on threads tied to Josslyn.

Cullum Does Not Need to Find Josslyn. He Needs to Find Carly’s Trail.

The hard math is this. Carly is the easiest person in Port Charles to follow. She makes calls. She visits people. She talks to her best friend in federal custody. She lives at the center of every drama on this show and her routine is mapped by everyone with a badge or a grudge. Cullum does not need to track Josslyn directly. Cullum needs to track Carly Spencer and wait for Carly to lead him to her daughter.

If Cullum lets Carly’s search bring him to Wyndemere, the show is no longer about Josslyn being rescued. It is about Cassius being exposed. Cassius being exposed means Cassius being killed by Sidwell. Josslyn being a witness means Josslyn being killed by Sidwell. The cold fusion prototype falls into the wrong hands. The whole storyline pivots from rescue to massacre.

Carly Has to Stand Down and Will Not

Here is what nobody wants to say out loud. The smartest move Carly can make for Josslyn is to stop looking for her. The hardest move for Carly to make is to stop looking for her. These two things are the same sentence and Carly cannot live with the first one.

Valentin is telling her to trust him. The show is telling her to trust him. Every fan watching this storyline is screaming at the screen for her to trust him. And Carly is going to nod, agree, and then call her PI the second Valentin leaves the room.

If Carly does what every instinct in her body is telling her to do, Josslyn dies. If Carly does what Valentin is begging her to do, Josslyn lives. The math is hard. And the show is going to make her choose.

Bring tissues. Carly Spencer is about to make the biggest mistake of her life, and her daughter is the one who pays for it.
