Jason Morgan Wiped the Gun, Took the Fall, and Sat in Silence While Lucas Operated on the Man Who Stabbed Marco Rios Without Knowing a Single Thing on General Hospital

JASON MORGAN COVERED FOR A TEENAGER AND LUCAS JONES SAVED THE LIFE OF THE MAN WHO LEFT HIS BOYFRIEND TO DIE

TL;DR: Jason Morgan wiped the gun, took the fall for Rocco Falconeri, and sat in silence at the PCPD on General Hospital while Lucas Jones operated on Ross Cullum upstairs at the hospital without knowing Cullum was the man who stabbed Marco Rios. Marco was on a table downstairs fighting for his life. Lucas left him a voicemail on the way to surgery. This show is cruel.

Jason Morgan Did What Jason Morgan Always Does

Nathan West arrived at Pier 55 seconds after the shot. He saw Britt Westbourne on the ground. He saw Ross Cullum on the ground. He saw Jason Morgan standing opposite Rocco Falconeri, who was still holding the gun. A teenager. Shaking. Terrified.

Nathan told Jason patrol cars were two minutes out. Jason did not hesitate. He took the gun from Rocco. He asked if anybody knew the boy was there. Rocco shook his head. Jason checked Britt’s pulse, promised Nathan he would take care of her, and told Nathan to get Rocco out.

Then Jason Morgan did what Jason Morgan has done for thirty years. He absorbed the consequence.

He wiped Rocco’s fingerprints off the gun. He fired the weapon over the water so his own prints would replace them. He woke Britt up and told her, while she was still disoriented and barely conscious, to tell the police she saw him shoot Cullum. And when Dante Falconeri arrived and cuffed him, Jason said nothing. Dante asked who shot Cullum. Britt was too confused to answer. Dante hauled Jason to the station.

In the interrogation room, Dante tried everything. He brought up their family connection. He reminded Jason their sons were practically brothers. He told Jason that if Cullum died, he would never see the light of day again.

Jason Morgan sat in that chair and did not say a single word. Because a teenager is safe at home tonight because of his silence, and Jason Morgan has never once weighed his own freedom against someone else’s safety and chosen himself.

Jason Morgan took the fall for Rocco Falconeri without blinking. Do you think this cover up holds? Send your wildest theories to [email protected] and we just might publish them!

Nathan Brought Rocco Home and Told Lulu to Never Tell Dante

Nathan got Rocco out of there. He brought him back to Lulu Spencer‘s house. He confirmed that Lulu had been alone most of the night, which means she has an alibi for Rocco’s whereabouts if anyone comes asking.

Then Nathan told Lulu that her son had been involved in the shooting of a WSB agent. He told her that as long as they did exactly what he said and she never told Dante, nobody would ever have to know. He promised to come back and explain everything. Then he left for the station to get ahead of the situation.

Lulu patched up Rocco’s hand. She tried to get him to talk about what happened. Rocco would not speak. Not a word. That boy is sitting in his mother’s house holding the weight of having shot a man and he cannot form a sentence about it.

And the man who told Lulu to keep this from Dante is now at the station, standing in the same building as Dante, watching Jason take the fall for something Rocco did. Nathan is managing this cover up from the inside, and every single decision he makes from this point forward is going to determine whether Rocco stays safe or whether this whole thing unravels.

Lucas Jones Saved Cullum’s Life and Does Not Know What Cullum Did

Here is where General Hospital turned the knife in the most devastating way possible.

Lucas Jones was at the hospital. He had just told Elizabeth Baldwin that he and Marco Rios were finally moving out of Wyndemere. He told her Marco was “the one.” He was happy. He was planning a future.

Then Liz informed him that WSB Director Cullum was being brought in for surgery after an incident at Pier 55. Lucas was concerned about Britt. He headed to the OR. On his way, he tried to call Marco. Marco did not answer. Lucas left a voicemail.

Marco did not answer because Marco was downstairs. On a table. Being operated on by Isaiah and Liz for multiple stab wounds. Stab wounds inflicted by Ross Cullum. The man Lucas was upstairs saving.

Lucas Jones stood in that operating room and worked to keep Ross Cullum alive without knowing that Cullum had walked into Marco’s office with a knife, stabbed him in the chest, cleaned the blade while Marco lay on the floor, read the text on Marco’s phone, stepped over his body, turned off the lights, and left him to die.

Lucas saved the life of the man who tried to end Marco’s.

When Portia Robinson told Britt that Marco was also in surgery for multiple stab wounds, Britt’s face told the entire story. She knew. She had warned Lucas that Jenz Sidwell was not the only one they needed to worry about. She was right. And the price of being right is Marco Rios on a table and Lucas Jones upstairs keeping his almost murderer breathing.

Do you think Lucas Jones will ever be able to live with the fact that he saved the man who stabbed Marco? And will this cover up hold or is it already falling apart? Sound off below because Port Charles just had the most devastating night in years and we need to talk about every second of it!

WATCH THIS: Thank you, Rocco!

@soapoperamag Rocco succeeded where Jason failed What is there to say? None of this would be happening had Jason just taken the shot! Now, poor Rocco has to live with this for the rest of his life. Let's just hope he doesn't get into legal trouble from having to play hero! #GeneralHospital ♬ original sound – Soap Opera Magazine
