Drew already had enough trouble keeping Jack’s death buried on General Hospital, but apparently that wasn’t complicated enough for him. Now he has planted Jack’s wallet in Nina’s car, turning her into a potential suspect without telling Ava a thing about it. That could prove to be a very bad move, because Nina is not just another person Drew can shove under the bus. She is Ava’s friend, and Ava happens to know exactly where Jack’s body is buried and how it got there.
Key Takeaways
- Drew planted Jack’s wallet in Nina’s car without telling Ava.
- Nina is now at risk of being pulled into Drew and Ava’s cover-up.
- Ava already knows enough about Jack’s death to take Drew down with her.
- Framing Nina could make Ava question whether Drew can be trusted to protect anyone but himself, weakening their alliance.
Drew Just Made Nina Part of His Mess
Ava (Maura West) already warned Drew (Cameron Mathison) that if she goes down for Jack’s death, he goes with her. Their partnership is not built on trust, friendship, or anything remotely warm and fuzzy. They are tied together because each one knows enough to destroy the other.
That should have been enough incentive for Drew to keep Ava informed. Instead, he slipped away, broke into Nina’s car, and planted Jack’s wallet under the seat as payback. Drew apparently decided that covering up one death was the perfect time to squeeze in a little personal revenge.
The problem is that Nina (Cynthia Watros) had just been standing there warning Ava about Drew. She clearly does not trust him, and she is worried that Ava is getting dragged into something dangerous. Now Drew has secretly put Nina in the middle of that exact danger.
Ava May Start Looking Out for Ava
Ava has already shown that she understands how exposed they both are. She knows where Jack (Chris McKenna, who has a heartfelt message for his fans) was buried, knows how the body was moved, and knows Drew helped cover everything up. That gives her a lot more power than Drew seems willing to admit.
If Ava discovers that Drew framed Nina without warning her, the issue is not simply that her friend could be blamed. It also tells Ava something important about Drew. When he feels cornered, he is willing to sacrifice somebody else to save himself.
That does not mean Ava is going to confess or suddenly turn on Drew. It does mean he may have given the one person he absolutely needs beside him a reason to reconsider how far she is willing to protect him. Drew thinks framing Nina solved a problem, but he may have just created the one person he cannot afford to alienate.
