Nothing gets past Tracy Quartermaine, especially a way-too-quiet Jason on General Hospital. Tracy knows Lucy so well that she anticipated her using Jason to get Michael’s Deception shares while he was away, and she was right. Thanks to Jason’s silence, Tracy has an edge she will not hesitate to use to her advantage.
Key Takeaways
- Tracy asked the one question Serena and Lucy were convinced she wouldn’t.
- Jason kept his word.
- Tracy may have found a way to get Deception back.
The Coveted Deception Shares
Ever since Maxie (Kirsten Storms) sold her shares of Deception to Michael (Rory Gibson), they have been one hot commodity. Tracy (Jane Elliot) and Lucy (Lynn Herring) are both clamoring to get those shares and control of Deception back.
The second Lucy learned from Serena (Kelly Kruger) that Jason (Steve Burton) was Michael’s proxy for Deception while he was out of the country, she was on a mission. Jason saw right through Lucy’s plan and busted her and Serena, while also promising not to tell Tracy unless she was specifically asked.
Lucy thought she was in the clear and even asked her daughter to find a new way to get Jason to sign over Michael’s shares. Unfortunately for Lucy, Tracy knows how she operates, and Jason used his words in his promise carefully to make sure he didn’t betray anyone.
Tracy Gets the Upper Hand
When Jason and Tracy were talking about Deception, he again chose his words with purpose. Tracy commented that Lucy would no doubt make a move while Michael was away. Instead of answering her, Jason was silent, and it spoke volumes to Tracy.
Even when she pushed him, Jason insisted Tracy hadn’t asked him a question, and that changed the conversation. Tracy, point-blank, asked him if Lucy had tried to get Michael’s shares from him.
The question allows Jason to spill what he knows to Tracy without breaking his word to Lucy and Serena. Jason knew Tracy would find a way to ask him, which she did, and it gave her useful information.
Lucy remains focused on using Jason for the shares. Tracy can use what Serena and Lucy did to Jason to her advantage. Perhaps by blackmailing Lucy or Serena, which would be very Tracy-like. It’s unlikely that Tracy would use Jason to get Michael’s shares because she knows Jason wouldn’t do that to Michael.
However, the information on Serena and Lucy gives Tracy powerful insight into how she could get control of Deception. Tracy will uses it to get even with Lucy and turn Jason against her.
Jason working with Tracy against Lucy could give Tracy more control of the company, rather than less, as Lucy hoped. Tracy just needs to find the perfect way to get Jason’s help without scheming or manipulating him like Lucy and Serena did.
One thing is for sure. Tracy won’t let what Lucy did go without payback, and Lucy should be very worried.
