The reveal that Curtis recently asked Selina Wu to kill Drew, then abruptly pulled the plug, landed with a thud on General Hospital. Curtis’ backing out didn’t erase the move. It just froze it in place, unfinished and dangerous. And when Selina is involved, unfinished business is never discarded. It’s filed away, labelled, and reused later. What’s starting to come into focus now is the possibility that Selina didn’t return to town to run a single play, but two, overlapping just enough to give her leverage in every direction.
Key Takeaways
- Curtis hiring Selina Wu to kill Drew, then backing out, didn’t undo the move — it exposed him.
- Selina is positioned to leverage that aborted hit long after Curtis thought it was buried.
- Brad remains Selina’s most convenient patsy, especially with Britt back in town.
- Britt’s Sidwell ties may have given Selina a clean line into information she didn’t have to chase.
- If Selina kept copies of the Portia evidence, she now controls Curtis from multiple angles.
- Selina appears to be running overlapping plays, and unwitting folks are stuck inside them.
Selina and the Brad Problem That Never Goes Away
Let us not forget that Selina (Lydia Look) is Brad’s (Parry Shen) aunt, and has controlled him off and on over the years. He’s family, useful, and perpetually frightened, which makes him her perfect henchman. If Selina needs information without fingerprints, Brad is the obvious pressure point. Offering him serious money, protection, or both to quietly ask Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) questions would simply be another Tuesday for Ms. Wu.
Brad doesn’t need to understand the scope of Britt’s work for Sidwell (Carlo Rota) or why it matters. He just needs to listen. Britt, freshly back in town and still entangled in ethically radioactive science, handed him far more than nostalgia over champagne. She talked about cold fusion, treaty violations, bombs, handlers, and the kind of work that doesn’t come with an exit clause. If Selina wanted a window into Sidwell’s operation, Brad is already standing in it, nodding along, trying not to panic.
Curtis, Drew, and the Evidence That Doesn’t Disappear
Curtis (Donnell Turner) asking Selina to assassinate Drew (Cameron Mathison), then changing his mind, didn’t cancel the arrangement. It exposed him. Selina doesn’t forget requests like that, especially when money changes hands. Layer that with the evidence Selina handed Drew against Portia (Brook Kerr), and the picture sharpens. Nothing about that exchange felt final. Selina doesn’t give away her only copy of anything, especially not leverage-grade material.
If Selina duplicated the Portia evidence before it ever reached Drew, she now holds pressure points on Curtis from two sides: the hit he ordered and the family he’s protecting. That’s not a coincidence. That’s coverage. Selina doesn’t need to threaten loudly. She waits. She lets people move themselves into corners. Then she reminds them who runs the room.
Selina Wu may be running two games at once, but they’re not separate. They’re intertwined. And everyone involved is already doing exactly what she needs. (Was Curtis right to change his mind about having Selina kill Drew?)
