GH SUPER SPOILER! Sonny Corinthos Caught Ric Lansing in a Direct Lie and the Loyalty Test Came Back With a Failing Grade

SONNY CORINTHOS KNOWS RIC LANSING IS WORKING WITH AVA JEROME AGAINST HIM

TL;DR: Sonny Corinthos set Ric Lansing up with a direct loyalty test on General Hospital Tuesday and Ric flunked it. Ethan Lovett spotted Ric whispering with Ava Jerome at the Metro Court Gardens. Justine Turner confirmed Ric never had a meeting at the DA’s office. Sonny is now sure his brother is working a parallel plan, and the moment Ric called Ava back asking if she had spoken to “him,” the conspiracy was confirmed.

The Test, the Lie, and the Confirmation From the DA’s Office

Sonny Corinthos does not run a test he does not already know the answer to. Ethan Lovett walked into Sonny’s orbit Tuesday and reported what he had seen at the Metro Court Gardens. Ric Lansing had been in a tense conversation with Ava Jerome. Ric left. Ava walked straight back to Jenz Sidwell. Ethan suspected Ava was passing a message Ric did not want to deliver himself because Lucy Coe was sitting at the table. Sonny absorbed it. Sonny tested Ethan’s loyalty by pretending to doubt him.

Then Sonny called Ric in. He told Ric that Ethan had passed the test. He asked Ric why he had run off so quickly the day before. Ric said he had a meeting at the DA’s office for a client who was not Rocco. Sonny nodded. Ric promised he would never hold anything back about Sonny’s grandson. Sonny did not look convinced. Sonny called Justine Turnerinto the apartment above Charlie’s and asked her one question. Did Ric have a meeting with anyone at the DA’s office yesterday. Justine called her office, confirmed nobody had a meeting with Ric, and handed Sonny the confirmation he was waiting for.

Sonny said the line out loud. Ric had spent years targeting his family. Ric recently said he wanted to repair the relationship. Now Ric had lied to him again. Sonny is worried Ric wants to finish what he started years ago. The brother Sonny has spent decades trying to forgive is back on the enemy list, and this time Sonny has the receipts.

Ric Lansing Confirmed the Conspiracy in His Own Phone Call

The most damning beat of Tuesday was not the lie about the DA’s office. It was the phone call Ric made to Ava after he left Sonny. He asked her if she had talked to “him.” He said he still wanted to go through with their plan. He said it had to be kept secret. The man whose entire pitch to Sonny is that the relationship is repaired walked out of his brother’s office and immediately phoned the woman Sonny already suspects of working against him.

Ava is the messenger. The “him” on the other end is Sidwell. The plan is whatever Ric and Ava have been cooking since the gardens, and the secrecy is the part that tells you everything you need to know. A man who is working in good faith does not need a secret plan with the city’s most notorious art dealer. A man who is working in good faith does not run a parallel operation with the woman currently sleeping with Sonny’s biggest political rival.

Ric Lansing has been telling Sonny he wants to repair the relationship and telling Ava he wants to execute a secret plan in the same twenty-four hours. The lie is the smaller crime. The conspiracy is the larger one. Sonny is going to find out about both, and the only question is what he does with the information first.

Elizabeth Baldwin Is About to Walk Into the Worst Romantic Weekend of Her Life

Elizabeth Baldwin accepted Ric’s invitation to a romantic weekend Tuesday. She told Laura Collins Ric is no longer holding the old anger toward Sonny. She told Laura Ric is at peace. Laura asked her to be careful. Liz waved her off and went home to pack a bag.

Liz is about to spend a weekend in a hotel with a man whose own brother is twenty-four hours away from blowing the lid off a Sidwell-Ava conspiracy involving the DA’s office, baby Rocco, and a plan that has to be kept secret. The romance is going to last exactly as long as it takes Sonny to act. The minute Sonny moves, Ric’s life detonates. Liz is going to be sitting in the passenger seat when it happens, and the man she has spent the week defending to Laura is going to be revealed as exactly the man Laura warned her about.

The weekend is doomed. The relationship is doomed. The peace Liz thinks she found is about to be the most public humiliation of her year.

Sonny Corinthos Has the Receipts and the Reach

Sonny does not lose. Sonny waits. Sonny has Ethan in the field. Sonny has Justine in the courthouse. Sonny has Brick available for whatever physical business needs to get done. Sonny has the patience to let Ric and Ava think the secret plan is still secret while he assembles every piece of evidence he needs to bring the whole thing down at once.

Ric is going to wake up one morning to find his weekend canceled, his brother on the other end of a phone, and his life as he knew it ending mid-sentence. The Lansing brothers’ war is back on, and this time Sonny knows it before Ric does. The moment Sonny decides to act is going to be the loudest moment Port Charles has seen this year.

Ric Lansing tried to play his brother. Ric Lansing forgot Sonny invented the game.

Is Sonny Corinthos going to take Ric Lansing down or will Ric pull off the secret plan first? Sound off below because the comment section is about to be unhinged!
