In the July 31 episode of General Hospital, Jason dropped a bomb on Sonny that will forever change their relationship. Jason’s a different man since he returned to Port Charles, and his latest move proved just how much that is true.
Key Takeaways
- Jason and Ric had a ceasefire.
- Sonny was thrilled until Jason made an unexpected announcement.
- Their dynamic was changed in an instant.
Sonny Brings Ric and Jason Together
A lot happened while Jason (Steve Burton) was away. Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Ric (Rick Hearst) put their past behind them and forged a new alliance.
Sonny and Ric were talking about Sidwell’s (Carlo Rotta) assets, like Sonny’s former piers, when Jason arrived. The tension could have been cut with a knife as Jason and Ric reunited.
In true Sonny fashion, he wasted no time getting to the point. They needed to work together. Sonny filled Jason in on his rekindled bond with Ric and the new dynamic of the business.
Jason Had an Agenda
Despite their sordid history, Ric wanted to do as Sonny asked, so he agreed and even put out his hand for Jason to shake. It took Jason a minute to take it, but he eventually did, begrudgingly.
The moment suggested they were making peace. However, once Ric left, Sonny thanked Jason for burying the hatchet with Ric, and Jason delivered his news.
It turned out Jason didn’t intend to work with Ric. In fact, Jason doesn’t plan to work for Sonny anymore, and he told his friend just that.
Why This Time Jason Quitting Hits Different
Over the years, Sonny and Jason have certainly had moments where they weren’t working together for various reasons. This time around, though, Jason has a different outlook, and his decision seemed final.
GH spoilers reveal that Jason makes a sacrifice for Danny (Asher Antonyzyn), and now fans know what that means. Jason promised Danny that nothing would ever keep them apart. Working for Sonny could force Jason to go back on that promise.
The decision wasn’t one Jason came to lightly, but it will forever change his dynamic with Sonny. Let’s be honest, Sonny’s getting back to his old mob boss ways, and Jason needs to distance himself from that world for Danny.
Nothing could ever destroy the friendship between Jason and Sonny. However, Jason being on the straight and narrow will impact it, especially as Sonny seeks to surround himself with those he can trust in his inner circle.
It’s not just the working relationship or friendship between Sonny and Jason that will be different. The way Jason moves forward in life will be all about Danny and what is best for him. That means less time for Sonny, which is a change for both of them.
Again, Jason and Sonny have been here before, where their lives didn’t intersect in the same way. The one thing that will never change between them is that they will be there for each other, even if they aren’t in each other’s lives every day.
