One Scope, One Stairwell, and the Worst Reason Jason Morgan Has Ever Had for Not Pulling the Trigger on General Hospital

JASON MORGAN HAD THE SHOT AND HE DID NOT TAKE IT

TL;DR: Jason Morgan assembled a rifle, climbed into a stairwell, lined up Ross Cullum in his scope, and did not pull the trigger on General Hospital because Jack Brennan walked into the shot. The most dangerous man in Port Charles is still alive because of Carly Spencer’s situationship. We have thoughts and none of them are polite.

The Setup Was Textbook Jason Morgan

Jason Morgan went to his storage unit. He opened a gun case. He pieced together a rifle with the kind of calm, methodical focus that only a man who has done this more times than anyone in Port Charles wants to count could manage. He flashed back to the promise he made to Britt Westbourne. He remembered his conversation with Tracy Quartermaine about Monica. He remembered saying goodbye to Carly Spencer and her promise to be there for Danny Morgan while he was gone. He remembered vowing to Carly that if she died because of her relationship with Jack Brennan, he would kill him.

Jason Morgan walked out of that storage unit with a bag, a rifle, and thirty years of loyalty to everyone but himselfstrapped to his back.

He positioned himself in an outdoor stairwell with a clear line of sight into the WSB office. Ross Cullum was right there. The man who has been running a double agent operation inside the bureau. The man Britt needs gone. The man who just showed up at Lulu Spencer‘s house to interrogate her teenage daughter about Valentin. The shot was there. Jason Morgan does not miss.

And then Brennan walked into the scope.

The Man Who Walked Into the Scope Is Not Worth Protecting

Let us be very clear about who Jack Brennan is. He is the WSB director’s colleague. He is neck deep in whatever Cullum is running. He is the man Jason Morgan already vowed to kill if Carly gets hurt because of him. He is not a civilian who accidentally wandered into the wrong hallway. He is a man with his own body count and his own agenda and the only reason Jason Morgan’s finger came off that trigger is because Brennan is connected to Carly.

That is the part that should make every single person in Port Charles furious.

Jason Morgan has taken a bullet for Sonny Corinthos. He has faked his own death for Carly. He has gone to Pentonville for Michael Corinthos. He has left his own son behind to follow Britt to Canada. This man does not hesitate. He does not flinch. He does not second guess. Jason Morgan is the most reliable trigger finger in the history of daytime television and the one time he needed to use it, he froze because the woman he has spent thirty years protecting has feelings for the man standing in the way.

Cullum is still breathing because of Carly Spencer. Let that sit for a moment.

He Should Have Taken Them Both Out and We Will Not Apologize for Saying It

We said what we said.

Ross Cullum is a double agent who is actively threatening Britt’s life, harassing Charlotte Cassadine, and running operations that have put half of Port Charles in danger. Jack Brennan cannot be honest with the woman he claims to love, keeps secrets for a living, and is involved in whatever Cullum is orchestrating at a level that should terrify everyone. Jason Morgan had both of them in his line of sight and walked away with a full magazine.

Britt is running out of medication. Lucas Jones and Marco Rios are stealing vials from Sidwell’s safe and the missing inventory has already been noticed. Pascal called Cullum. The clock is not just ticking. It is screaming. And the one man who could have ended this, the man who assembled that rifle with surgical precision and climbed into position and had the shot, chose not to take it.

If Cullum hurts someone next, that is on Jason Morgan’s hesitation. If Britt runs out of time because the man who promised to protect her could not pull the trigger, Jason Morgan is going to have to live with the fact that he chose Carly’s situationship over Britt’s life. Again. Because Jason Morgan has been choosing everyone else for thirty years and this week he did not even choose the mission. He chose Carly’s feelings about a man she cannot even get to be honest with her.

Port Charles cannot afford Jason Morgan’s loyalty anymore. Not when it costs everyone else this much.

Do you think Jason Morgan will get another chance at Cullum, or did he miss the only window he is going to get? And should Brennan have been collateral damage? Sound off below because we know this comment section is about to go absolutely feral!

WATCH THIS: Would Charlotte have completed the mission? PROBABLY!

I mean, sure, go mess with Charlotte's daddy. See what happens! This teen is one of the most dangerous on daytime. She kinda scares me a little bit. I wouldn't want to cross her and Nina should watch her back carefully now that Charlotte knows what she knows!
