In the May 15 episode of General Hospital, Dante went to great lengths to keep Rocco safe from Cullum. Little did he know, all Dante did was put a target on Danny’s back.
Key Takeaways
- Dante planned to destroy evidence linking Rocco to the shooting.
- Carly, unwillingly, gave Cullum an idea of who Jason would protect.
- The two incidents mean major trouble for Danny.
Going to Great Lengths to Save Rocco
In his office, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) got a visit from Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst). Dante confided in her about his conversation with Rocco (Finn Carr) and revealed just how much keeping the secret is hurting him.
Elizabeth made it clear to Dante all he could do was be there for Rocco. The nurse filled Dante in on her past and confirmed that her loved ones had gotten her through all the hard times, including her rape.
Their talk helped Dante feel confident about what needed to be done. When a police officer arrived with the evidence from Cullum’s (Andrew Hawkes) shooting, Dante planned to destroy it. Elizabeth reassured him it was the right thing to do.
Cullum Gets a Clue About The Shooting
At Carly’s (Laura Wright), she was in the middle of filling Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) in on what went down with Nina (Cynthia Watros) at the hospital, when Cullum came knocking on her door. Valentin hid as Carly tried to keep Cullum at bay.
Cullum admitted he knew Jason (Steve Burton) didn’t shoot him and wanted Carly to tell him who Jason would protect. Carly was confused by the request but, in true fashion, kept quiet on her best friend’s behalf.
It turned out, Cullum didn’t need Carly’s help. Cullum spotted a photo of Jason with Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and a flip switched in his brain.
Everything became clear to him, so Cullum headed to Dante’s office, demanding the evidence from the shooting. Dante played it off like the evidence had been misfiled, but Cullum suspected he was lying.
Danny Has a Target on Him Now
Not handing over any evidence to Cullum, protected Rocco, but Dante unknowingly put Danny in danger. It’s not as though Dante knew Cullum had set his sights on Danny as the shooter or that Cullum even remembered Jason didn’t shoot him.
However, the stakes just got higher for everyone involved in the situation. Cullum’s convinced Danny shot him, and Jason is covering for him. The WSB agent won’t rest until Danny pays.
If Cullum hurts Danny, Rocco and Dante will never forgive themselves. Never mind what Jason will do when he returns to discover Danny was harmed.
The friendship between Rocco and Danny was always going to change when Danny learned that Jason had gone to prison for Rocco. Should Danny end up in danger or seriously hurt because of the lie, their brotherly bond may never recover.
