In the June 3 episode of General Hospital, Valentin and Jack realized a man named Z could help them. The problem is neither of them wanted to risk reaching out to Z, even though he could be the answer to their prayers.
Key Takeaways
- Jack mentioned Z could help find Josslyn.
- Neither Valentin nor Jack wanted to call Z for their own reasons.
- The mystery man can save Josslyn and bring down Sidwell and Cullum.
Putting The Josslyn Pieces Together
Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) invoked “Ex Machina” at Turning Woods, just like Jack (Chris McKenna) did to get him there. The code word reassured both men they had called a truce.
Carly (Laura Wright), though, was not in the mood for code words. She demanded to know where Jack sent Josslyn (Eden McCoy). Jack denied sending Josslyn away, and Carly believed him.
The three discussed where Josslyn could be, which led Carly to realize someone had taken her daughter. Jack suggested they start their search at Wyndemere. Then he insisted Valentin reach out to a contact named Z, or they would never find Josslyn.
Jack and Valentin Lock Horns
In a hot second, Valentin realized Jack didn’t want to reach out to Z because he feared Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) would know he could speak. However, Valentin had his own reason for not wanting to get in contact with Z.
Valentin wasn’t willing to risk getting arrested just to get in touch with the mystery man. The entire idea enraged Valentin, and he walked out of Jack’s room, leaving Carly behind.
After he left, Jack encouraged Carly to persuade Valentin to call Z for her daughter’s sake, and so Z could shut down the project Sidwell (Carlo Rotta) and Cullum are working on. Carly went off on him for always putting the mission and the WSB first.
Who Is Mystery Man Z?
The fact that both Jack and Valentin know this contact will expose their secrets speaks volumes. Z’s clearly someone they have both dealt with in the past and know they can’t trust 100%.
However, as they say, desperate times call for desperate measures, so one of them will likely contact mystery man Z. This will open up a whole new can of worms about the character and his connection to Valentin and Jack.
Considering Jack basically said Z is the only person who can find Josslyn and shut down Cullum and Sidwell, this guy has skills and likely power too. Is he another Jason (Steve Bruton) or is he another WSB agent?
That’s just the tip of the iceberg of questions that will follow when Z comes to Port Charles. The character would not have been brought up if we weren’t going to see him at some point.
It’s an interesting twist that just added a whole new layer to several storylines on the ABC soap.
