5 Things GH’s Drew Can't Explain Away in the Jack Brennan Case

General Hospital's Drew Cain and Ava Jerome are facing legal scrutiny and are trying to solve it by getting married. Marriage ensures that both Ava and Drew cannot be forced to testify against each other in court. Just as Dr. Tristan Roberts came forward about recalling Ava and Drew dumping some heavy object in his SUV on the night Jack disappeared, Drew reported his car missing.

With two vital pieces of evidence leaving the hands of the PCPD and the DA's office, they will need to interrogate Drew and Ava based on the limited material they have against the suspected duo. However, Drew may find it hard to answer some of the questions the PCPD may have for him.

5 Tough Questions Drew May Face from the PCPD

1) The heavy thing Tristan spotted Drew and Ava load into his SUV

As Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) pointed out, he recalled noticing Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and Ava Jerome (Maura West) wheel a Metro Court Hotel laundry card to Drew's SUV. He then saw them take a heavy object out of the laundry cart and load it into the trunk of Drew's car. The doctor, who is a former WSB agent, remembered it to be the night that Jack disappeared.

Since the PCPD will value Tristan's statement, they will likely question Drew about the object. Drew will likely try to brush it off or deny any such thing. However, on the authorities' insistence, he may need to give some answers and could find it difficult to explain what he was putting in his car trunk that night.

2) Drew's recent SUV theft and his sudden marriage

As GH fans know, the PCPD got a warrant to search Drew's SUV for traces of Jack's DNA and other evidence. However, Drew reported his car missing. As Commissioner Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) pointed out, Drew might have really destroyed his car and all related evidence. However, the former congressman may still need to explain how his SUV went missing right when the PCPD received a search warrant for it.

On the other hand, Drew and Ava are marrying to avoid testifying against each other. Their wedding also comes at a time when they became the main suspects in the Jack Brennan case. Just as Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) mentioned, the PCPD and the rest of the world believe the marriage is a fake and one of convenience. As such, the PCPD will question the timing and the purpose of the unexpected union.

3) The congressional dirt Jack threatened to expose

Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) presented a signed statement to PCPD about overhearing Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) threaten to expose the dirt he has on Drew. Jack also offered Alexis the intel, a transaction that did not materialize. As such, according to Alexis, Drew had a motive to eliminate Jack.

As the PCPD interrogates Drew, they may ask him to enlighten them about the interaction. While Drew may try to call Alexis's bluff, he may prompt the PCPD and the WSB to investigate all his movements and transactions while he held office. This may eventually lead to Drew being legally charged with possible embezzlement.

4) The prescription drug trail for Restinol found in Jack's body

The autopsy report has found Restinol in Jack's body. Since everyone who knew Jack knows that he never took sleeping pills, he was evidently drugged. This would put Ava in the spotlight as she was the last person to see Jack alive and share a drink with him. Just as Ava has feared, she could be called in for interrogation for Jack's death. However, if she marries Drew, she cannot testify against him. Moreover, she was not prescribed any sleeping pills.

As such, if she had to slip the Restinol into Jack's drink, she had to have procured it from somewhere. Meanwhile, Drew has a prescription for the same drug. As a result, the Restinol trail from Jack to Ava would eventually lead to Drew. The former congressman cannot explain away the fact that he might have provided his would-be bride with a prescribed sleeping pill that she admitted to her lawyer she had used to spike Jack's drink.

5) The secret audio recording and Ava's previous confession

As mentioned before, Ava met with Alexis to look for a way out of prison and her alliance with Drew. In her attempt to explain herself, Ava admitted that she spiked Jack's drink with the sleeping pills Drew provided. However, if she marries Drew, she cannot implicate him anymore, although Alexis still knows the truth. The smart lawyer may look for ways to use it.

On the other hand, the PCPD may ask the former congressman to cooperate with the investigation. If his phone is checked, the recording of Ava's threats may be revealed. This would bring on another line of interrogation for Drew, which he cannot escape from.
