In the May 5 episode of General Hospital, trust was the name of the game for Sonny as he questioned Ric and Ethan’s loyalty. Neither Ethan nor Ric is fond of the other, and in the name of protecting Sonny, they tried throwing the other under the bus. However, it turned out Sonny only needed to be worried about Ric because he is definitely up to something.
Key Takeaways
- Sonny got an earful from Ethan about Ric
- When Sonny questioned Ric about it, the lawyer lied to him.
- Justine gave Sonny intel, and Ric showed his true colors.
Sonny Searches for Loyalty Amid Trust Issues Without Jason
On the pier, Ethan (Nathan Dean) gave Sonny (Maurice Benard) an update on what happened with Ric (Rick Hearst) and Ava (Maura West) at the Metro Court Gardens. Sonny didn’t like it that Ethan didn’t hear what they were talking about or what Ava told Sidwell (Carlo Rotta) after Ric left.
It’s no secret that without Jason (Steve Burton), Sonny is vulnerable. Ethan knows that, and he used it to his advantage as he pointed out that Sonny doesn’t trust Ric, or he wouldn’t have had Ethan tail him.
Sonny wasn’t completely sold on what Ethan had said and warned him to stand down until further notice. The mob boss needed to do his own research, and he did.
Ric Has Been a Busy Boy
When Ric arrived on the pier, Sonny informed him that Ethan passed his loyalty test with flying colors. After making sure that the tension between Ric and Ethan wouldn’t be a problem for his brother, Sonny put him in the hot seat.
Sonny wondered why Ric had left so abruptly the day before. Ric shrugged it off like no big deal and declared he had a client meeting at the DA’s office. The lawyer made it clear the meeting wasn’t about Rocco (Finn Carr) and promised he would never keep a secret from his brother again.
Ric’s words didn’t seem to convince Sonny, but he didn’t press the issue. It turned out Sonny had reason to question Ric because he called Ava to get an update on their plan with “him.” Ric confirmed on the call that he was fully on board with the plan, whatever it is.
Tides Are Changing for Ric and Sonny
In true Sonny fashion, he wasted no time finding out if Ric had lied to him. After he summoned Justine (Nazneen Contractor) to their secret love nest, Justine revealed that Ric didn’t have a meeting at the DA’s office.
Alarm bells went off for Sonny, who was worried Ric plans to finish what he started years ago. It has been Ric’s mission to take down his criminal brother for decades. Is that the case this time around, or could Ric actually be trying to help Sonny?
