General Hospital’s Ava thought she and Drew had already survived the worst part of the Jack Brennan mess, but Detective Joe’s questions clearly changed that. Now Ava wants to move Brennan’s body before the investigation gets any closer, which could turn a hidden problem into a spectacularly bad one. Worse, Ava and Drew may discover that the grave they are so worried about is not holding what they think it is.
Key Takeaways
- Joe’s questions about Jack’s disappearance have Ava worried that the investigation is getting too close.
- Ava wants to move Jack’s body, but Drew believes touching the grave again would create even more risk.
- Returning to the burial site could expose Ava and Drew to new evidence or witnesses.
- The biggest twist may be that Jack’s body is no longer in the grave at all.
- If Jack survived or someone moved him, that could change everything for them.
Ava’s Panic Could Create New Evidence
Joe (Jonathan Bennett) already knows Ava (Maura West) saw Jack (Chris McKenna) the night he disappeared, and that was enough to make her nervous. She tried to brush off his questions, but she later told Drew (Cameron Mathison) that Joe was digging too close to what really happened. Ava’s solution was simple: move the body. Naturally, Drew thought that sounded insane.
Drew has a point. The WSB has stopped looking at Jack’s disappearance, and Nina (Cynthia Watros) is taking the blame for what happened. From Drew’s perspective, the safest move is to leave everything exactly where it is and hope nobody ever finds the grave. Touching it again only gives Ava and Drew another chance to get seen, leave evidence behind, or make an already ugly cover-up worse.
Ava is not thinking like Drew right now, though. Joe rattled her, and fear is pushing her toward action. That is usually when Port Charles denizens make decisions they spend the next six months regretting.

Brennan’s Grave May Hold the Real Surprise
The bigger issue may not be moving Brennan’s body at all. It may be whether Brennan is still there. Ava and Drew buried Jack in a rather shallow grave, and neither has checked on him since.
If they return and find the grave empty, everything changes. Jack could have somehow survived and escaped, or somebody else may have found him and removed the body. Either possibility would mean Ava and Drew have spent all this time covering up a murder that may not have happened the way they believed.
That would also explain why revisiting the grave could become the moment this entire story blows open. Ava thinks she is trying to protect herself from Joe. Instead, she may be about to discover that Jack has been one step ahead of everyone all along.
