Drew thought bringing Ava into his plan against Jack would solve a problem, but he may have accidentally created a much bigger one for himself on General Hospital. The two covered up Jack’s apparent death together, buried his body, and then casually returned to the Metro Court to build themselves an alibi. Before this, Drew could pressure Ava into doing his dirty work. Now, she knows exactly what he did and where Jack is buried, which means their alliance has just become much more equal.
Key Takeaways
- Ava now knows every detail of Drew’s role in covering up Jack’s apparent death.
- Drew and Ava buried Jack together and then created an alibi for one another at the Metro Court.
- Their shared involvement gives Ava leverage if Drew ever tries to sacrifice her to protect himself.
- Drew also knows enough about Ava’s actions to ensure neither can safely turn on the other.
- Their cover-up is already in danger after Outback found Jack’s grave and started digging.
Ava Now Knows Exactly What Drew Did
Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Ava (Maura West) hauled Jack’s (Chris McKenna, who has a heartfelt message for his fans) body to a former piece of Quartermaine land that Monica (the late Leslie Charleson) donated as a nature preserve.
Drew decided it was perfect because the property could never be developed, which apparently made it the ideal resting place for a dead WSB chief. Ava was far less comfortable with the whole thing and repeatedly worried about what would happen if they were caught.
That matters because Ava now knows every part of Drew’s cover-up. She knows where Jack is buried, knows Drew helped move the body, and knows exactly what story he planned to use if Brennan had simply vanished. If Drew ever tries to pin everything on Ava, she can point investigators straight toward the grave and explain who brought the shovel.
Drew knows plenty about Ava’s involvement, too, of course. She drugged Jack, helped move him, and stood beside Drew while they buried him. Neither one can safely throw the other overboard now without risking a very unpleasant swim themselves.
Drew and Ava Are Stuck With Each Other
Once they returned to the Metro Court, Ava immediately insisted that they needed to provide each other with an alibi. They sat down for drinks, and Drew smoothly explained that they had been delayed by an important meeting. Nothing says ordinary business discussion quite like arriving late after disposing of a body.
That changes the balance between them. Drew could previously use Ava’s fear of losing Avery to push her into helping him, but now she has something much stronger than an argument. She has firsthand knowledge that could wreck Drew’s life if he ever decides she has become expendable.
The problem for both of them is that their secret may not stay buried. Outback the Dog already found Jack’s grave and started digging before Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) pulled him away.
Drew and Ava thought hiding Jack would protect them, but by being too lazy to dig a full six feet into the ground, they may have instead created a partnership neither one can escape without destroying the other.
