General Hospital: Drew Cain’s Prescription Puts Him in the PCPD’s Sights as Molly Confides in Alexis

DREW CAIN SIGNED THE WAIVER THAT COULD SINK HIM

TL;DR: It’s confirmed: Joe and Molly found a current prescription in Drew Cain’s medical records on November 10, and it could match the pill in Jack Brennan’s drink. No arrest is listed yet, and on Wednesday Molly confides in Alexis, the lawyer for Drew’s partner Ava.

The Prescription in Drew’s File

It’s confirmed: on Tuesday, November 10, General Hospital handed the police their best paper yet on Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison). Joe Fitzpatrick (Jonathan Bennett) and Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) went through Drew’s medical records and found a current prescription. It is exactly the kind of supply Drew could have handed Ava Jerome (Maura West) to dose Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna).

So does the prescription get Drew arrested? Not yet. No preview through Friday, November 13 lists an arrest, a warrant or a charge, and nobody on screen has tied that prescription to the pill in Jack’s system. For now it could match. That is all.

Now the delicious part. Joe got those records from Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins). Lulu could ask for them because Drew signed a HIPAA waiver for her on October 7, when she was writing up his miracle recovery. We said at the time that Drew had signed away more than he knew. The man who spent months trapped in his own body just unlocked his own file for the cops.

The Evidence Ladder Against Drew

Rung one landed November 4, when Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) told Joe the police may have missed a sleeping pill in Jack’s system. Rung two landed Monday, November 9. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) said he saw Drew and Ava move something bulky from a laundry cart into Drew’s SUV the night Jack was last seen, and the police quietly turned their eyes on the pair without telling them.

Rung three came Tuesday. Joe and Molly figured Drew’s Navy SEAL training would let him switch off the Metro Court security system so Ava could slip Jack the pill. They even wondered whether the paralytic once used on Drew found its way to Jack. Then came the prescription. Our November 10 recap has every scene.

Now the missing rung. Tristan saw a cart, not a crime, and the prescription proves Drew had pills, not that Jack swallowed one. Drew Cain has wriggled out of tighter spots than this.

Molly Confides in Alexis on Wednesday

It’s confirmed for Wednesday, November 11: Molly confides in Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn), while Drew tries to reassure Ava, who worries her part in Jack’s final hours is about to come out. One preview wonders whether Molly’s talk is about the murder case or something personal. Circulating spoiler chatter goes further and has Molly hinting the Drew situation may not last much longer. That is chatter, not a listing.

Here is why that conversation sizzles: Alexis is Ava’s lawyer. On October 28, Ava asked her for full immunity in exchange for testifying against Drew. So if Molly so much as hints the case is closing in, she is telling the one lawyer in town whose client wants to hand him over. A daughter venting, or a gift to the defense? My gut says the writers want us asking.

Then on Thursday, November 12, Alexis makes a bold move. Revisit our look at Alexis weighing a turn on Drew and it lines up. Right now the prescription is worth more to Ava’s deal than to anyone else.

Will Drew Cain Be Arrested on General Hospital?

Not on any listing yet. Drew gets a reality check Thursday and pitches a drastic plan Friday, November 13, and our breakdown of Drew’s drastic plan still has no target for it. The week of November 16 has no published preview grid, and the spoiler chatter only asks whether Drew and Ava get arrested that week. Keep our two weeks of General Hospital spoilers handy.

Fans are more than ready. In the Reddit episode discussion, one viewer asked if Drew is finally going to get what is coming to him, and another wondered if there is enough for an arrest. On our Facebook post about Tristan’s sighting, a reader wrote, “Hopefully this will be the end of Drew.”

Who Pays if the Prescription Sticks

If this lands on Drew Cain, the fallout runs straight through Alexis’s family. Drew is the father of Scout Cain (Kayden Brenna Tokarski), who is Alexis’s granddaughter and Molly’s niece. Molly is building a case against her niece’s father while her mother counsels the woman who wants to testify against him.

And the police are closer than they know. Viewers watched Ava crush one of Drew’s sleeping pills into Jack’s drink on August 28. Proving it is another matter, which is why Drew Cain still has room to scheme. Our Jack Brennan suspect board shows how crowded this case has been.

Drew’s Own Signature Put the Police on His Trail

Drew wanted the world to see his medical file as proof of a miracle. Instead it gave Joe and Molly a prescription, and on Wednesday it gives Alexis a reason to smile for her client.

Our call: no handcuffs this week. The ladder needs one more rung, and Ava’s deal is the likeliest place it comes from. Agree or disagree? Fight it out with us on our Facebook page.
