GH DELICIOUS SCANDAL! Josslyn Jacks Is One Bad Decision Away From Bedding the Man Holding Her Captive

JOSSLYN JACKS IS FALLING FOR HER OWN WYNDEMERE CAPTOR

TL;DR: Cassius is holding Josslyn Jacks captive in a Wyndemere basement on General Hospital and Joss has stopped fighting it. They play cards. They share trauma. He locks her in the bedroom every night and walks away gentle. The unhinged theory: Joss is going to sleep with her captor before she escapes, and she is going to do it on purpose.

Joss Has Stopped Acting Like a Hostage

Josslyn Jacks has been a prisoner in a Wyndemere basement for weeks on General Hospital and she is starting to act like a guest.

She plays cards with Cassius every night. She talks to him. She tells him things she has not told her own mother. Tonight he asked her how she became a WSB agent and she answered him slowly, honestly, the way you answer someone you are deciding whether to trust. Then he locked her in the bedroom, walked away without raising his voice, and Joss did not bang on the door.

That is not a hostage. That is a woman with a plan that has gotten complicated.

The unhinged theory: Joss is about to sleep with her captor. Not out of fear. Not out of strategy. Out of attraction. And the entire Quartermaine-Corinthos-Spencer family tree is going to lose its mind when the truth comes out.

The Cell Has Gotten Cozy

Watch the way Joss has stopped fighting. She is not banging on the door. She is not refusing to eat. She is not pretending she does not see him. She is talking to him about her dead boyfriend. She is asking him about his life. She is letting him win at cards. The dynamic in that basement has shifted from captor and captive to two people who are alone together a lot and starting to look forward to it.

Cassius has been gentle with her since day one. He has told her he is protecting her from Cullum. He has fed her. He has played cards with her. He has given her the bedroom and the privacy and the sense that the cell is not really a cell. Cassius has been playing nice in the hope of keeping her cooperative. Joss has been letting him in the hope of staying alive.

Somewhere between cooperation and chemistry, the line got blurry.

Cassius Has Stopped Pretending to Be the Bad Guy

Last week Cassius confided in Joss that he had fallen in love with the life he had been faking. The people around the Nathan identity. The family. The job. The woman he was supposed to be marrying. The unhinged theory is that Joss heard him say it, sat with it for a few nights, and started to wonder if some of what he said was about her, too.

Cassius is not Cullum. Cassius is not Sidwell. Cassius is a man pretending to be his dead twin so he can survive a federal agency that would kill him if it knew who he was. He is a victim with a body count. He is a captor with a conscience. And Joss is the only person in Port Charles who knows the full story of who he actually is, because Joss is the one he has been telling it to.

That is not a captor relationship. That is the part of every soap storyline where the wall comes down.

Joss Is Plotting More Than an Escape

Here is what makes this delicious. Josslyn Jacks is a former WSB agent. Joss knows how to manipulate a target. Joss knows that if she wants Cassius to trust her enough to slip up, she has to give him a reason to want her in his orbit. The cards game is calculated. The trauma share is calculated. The slow softening is calculated.

And then somewhere between the calculation and the execution, Joss is going to feel something real. She is going to let him kiss her because the kiss is the move. She is going to sleep with him because the sleeping is the move. And she is going to wake up next to him and realize the move stopped being a move.

This is how Stockholm starts. This is also how every soap affair the writers want fans screaming about starts.

The Affair Is Going to Detonate Port Charles

Lulu Spencer has been falling for Cassius for months. Lulu thinks he is Nathan. Lulu has been showing up at Wyndemere thinking she is rebuilding her life with the man she once loved. Lulu is about to walk into the wrong room and find her almost-fiance tangled up with Carly Spencer‘s daughter.

Carly is going to lose her mind. Carly is going to demand answers. Carly is going to find out her missing daughter is not missing at all. She has been having an affair with the man pretending to be Nathan, in a basement, while Carly was tearing the city apart looking for her. Carly is going to need a Valium.

Sonny Corinthos is going to need to be physically restrained.

And Josslyn Jacks is going to walk out of that basement with the man who held her captive on her arm and a story nobody is ready to hear.

Bring popcorn. The cards game was the appetizer. The affair is the main course. And the fallout is going to define Josslyn Jacks for the rest of the year.

Does Joss actually fall for Cassius, or is the whole cooperation routine still her playing the long con? Drop your verdict in the comments on our Facebook page.
