5 Questions GH's Elizabeth and Lucas Should Be Asking About Lulu's Story

General Hospital's Lulu Spencer made waves when she published an article accusing Congresswoman Willow Tait of using a paralytic drug to keep her husband, Drew Cain, in a "locked-in" condition. As per Lulu's story, Jenz Sidwell provided the drug to Willow after he obtained it from the WSB..

While Willow is suing Lulu for defamation, Drew and Sidwell are preparing to deny all intel in Lulu's piece. Moreover, Elizabeth and Lucas are upset with Lulu for misleading them. However, with Detective Joe Fitzpatrick asking questions about Jack Brennan, another presumed victim of the paralytic drug, it may be time for Lucas and Elizabeth to do some serious thinking themselves.

5 Things That Should Worry Elizabeth and Lucas Right Now

1) Were the similarities between the two strokes really coincidental?

As per what Dr. Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) and Nurse Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) discussed with Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins), both Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) were brought in to the hospital after each had a stroke. In both cases, the symptoms were similar leaving the patients "locked-in" except for the eyes.

While Jack recovered from the condition first and Drew recovered later, both patients were totally cured without any lingering effects. Plus, both strokes had occurred in Willow and Drew's living room at different times. This baffled the healthcare providers. If Lucas and Elizabeth connect the dots with what Lulu's article has uncovered, they should be concerned instead of taking Lulu to task for how she obtained her story.

2) How to explain Willow's recent weird behavior

If Lucas and Elizabeth look into the matter, they may realize unexplained bits of Willow Tait's (Katelyn MacMullen) behavior. First, while knowing that a paralyzed patient would be well taken care of at the hospital, Willow offered to take him home. Secondly, Willow was reluctant to get communication aids for Drew despite Elizabeth aggressively pushing for it.

Thirdly, either Willow or her mother, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros), regularly visited Jack, despite neither being related closely to the WSB chief. Lastly, Willow seems neither distraught nor striving to free her mother after Nina was arrested by the WSB in connection with Jack's disappearance. The doctor and nurse team may also want to know why, after presumably diligently caring for her husband, Willow and Drew got their divorce as soon as the latter recovered from his stroke.

3) Is Detective Fitzpatrick's deep investigation pointing at a truth?

Recently, Detective Joe Fitzpatrick (Jonathan Bennett) reached out to his roommate and friend, Lucas, to know more about Jack's disappearance. Already bristling at being quoted and named in Lulu's article, Lucas pushed Joe back about using him. In response, Joe pointed out that Lucas knew more about Jack's disappearance than he was aware of.

This should set Lucas thinking about what he might know that may shed some light on the missing WSB agent. He may recall seeing Willow and Nina visiting the patient or having seen his aunt, Ava Jerome (Maura West), interacting with Jack. He may also remember seeing Ava and Drew being close. Whether he may help uncover Jack's whereabouts, or have a target on his back before that, remains to be seen. Moreover, his colleagues, Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) and Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer), may also get pulled into the situation.

4) What are the connections between Drew, Sidwell and the WSB drug?

While both Elizabeth and Lucas know the connection between Drew and Willow, they may be baffled about their connection with mobster Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota). Since Sidwell was the main source of information behind Lulu's article, everyone is left confused by a Willow-Sidwell connection.

However, Sidwell was hand in glove with the corrupt deceased WSB agent, Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes), who likely supplied the WSB drug to Sidwell to secretly pass on to Willow, as per the article's conjecture. At the same time, Dr. Tristan knows that the WSB might manufacture such a drug. Whether Liz and Lucas can find any clues that point to this nexus remains to be seen.

5) Does a paralytic drug really exist with the WSB?

The most important question leaving each Port Charles resident surprised is whether a drug meant to keep people paralyzed exists and whether the WSB manufactures it. Since the symptoms that both the miracle patients, Drew and Jack, experienced were slightly different from other patients, the healthcare providers may see an inkling of truth in the claims made by Lulu's article.

Both Lucas and Elizabeth have been treating stroke patients for years. They may exchange notes on the symptoms Drew and Jack showed which were different from most other patients. This may call into question the unexplained total recovery of the patients. The other question that they must raise is whether a powerful organization like WSB is capable of funding a drug to mimic a stroke.
