Will General Hospital’s Drew Cain Sell Out Ava Jerome For Immunity Before She Sells Him Out First?

DREW CAIN BETRAYED AVA AND STARTED A RACE FOR IMMUNITY

TL;DR: Nothing here is confirmed, it’s all speculation, but Drew Cain confessed to his lawyer, played a secret recording of Ava, and kicked off a very messy war, and General Hospital fans are wondering who talks to the D.A. first.

A Confession With A Nasty Side Effect

Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) hired an attorney, got comfortable, and sold out his partner in crime in a single sitting. He told Monet Mitchell (Blythe Howard) how he and Ava Jerome (Maura West) drugged Jack Brennan (Chris L. McKenna), found him in the pool and buried him. He explained that he stayed quiet because he didn’t want to be scapegoated by the PCPD or the WSB, and he admitted Ava was getting anxious about being connected.

Then he hit play. Drew had secretly recorded his last conversation with Ava, the one where she warned that if she’s arrested, she’ll tell the police he masterminded the plan and even pushed Jack into the pool. Ava made a threat, and Drew made a receipt.

Monet was not dancing. She expects the D.A. to try to turn the two of them against each other, and she suggested Drew turn himself in. He refused, because he doesn’t want to go back to prison or risk custody of Scout Cain (Kayden Brenna Tokarski). Monet then said they need to secure Ava’s silence and teased an idea for keeping her from testifying against him. Nobody has said what that idea is, which is exactly how we like our schemes.

Drew Needs A Deal Before Ava Needs A Plan

Drew Cain believes the tape makes him the clever one, but the same conversation has him admitting the sleeping pill Ava slipped Jack came from his own prescription. That recording has his name on both edges.

The walls are closing in anyway. A witness saw two people loading something into Drew’s trunk, a search warrant for his SUV is on the way, and Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) gave the police a statement pointing to a motive, namely Jack hinting that Drew did something unsavory back in his congressman days. Motive was the one thing the investigation was missing, and now it has one.

That makes Monet’s job simple and terrifying. She needs to get Drew immunity, and prosecutors tend to hand that out to whoever walks through the door first. If Ava wises up and cuts a deal before Drew does, Drew Cain could be staring at a lifetime behind bars. Friday’s preview says Drew pitches a drastic plan, which sounds exactly like what a man holding a tape would do.

Ava Cannot Afford A Slow Day

Ava needs to be on high alert, because she is the accomplice the police haven’t named yet. Her sleeping pill, her threat and her voice on a recording are all sitting in somebody else’s hands, and she may not even know the recording exists.

Her best move is the one Drew’s tape was designed to scare her out of: squeal first. She already told him she would. If she isn’t smart and fast, she could be the one in prison for years and years while Drew walks out with a handshake and a grin.

Who Blinks First When The D.A. Calls?

If Drew Cain thinks a recording and a good attorney will keep him free, he is about to learn how fast a partner with nothing left to lose can move. And if Ava keeps trusting that Drew will protect her, she may find out the hard way that he already picked a side, and it was his own.
