The Bride Wore Black...and Junior Spy Joss Said Too Much: General Hospital Two Scoops For the Week of November 9th

Did General Hospital's Ava Jerome know what was going to happen to her when she woke on Friday morning? Did Junior Spy Josslyn Jacks know when she rang Sonny's doorbell that she'd be altering her life forever, as well as the life of her little "sister"? Maybe Ava knew deep down inside what was coming, but Josslyn may be in for the shock of her life. And that's where we begin.

Josslyn...."Shhhhhh..."

That is the evergreen direction people must give Josslyn every day or one never knows what will come out of her mouth. (Great trait for a super spy to have.) The only thing we will give Josslyn credit for this week is having the self-awareness to know that she was wrong. That's a big deal for young Joss. She is coming into her self-aware era long before her mother ever did, so that's a good sign for her future.

Too bad she didn't think much when she saw Avery sitting in Sonny's living room. She did have a flash of recognition on her face that Avery shouldn't hear what she had to say, but did anyone ever tell Josslyn that her voice carries? We have to assume that Donna was sleeping by then because even if Avery wasn't listening in, how could she miss the mouth that roared?

And when the mouth that roared saw that Avery had heard it all as the adolescent girl stood there in tears, what did she do? She doubled down because why not? That's what any international spy would do, right? Just lose control and get in a child's face to tell them that their dad is the bad guy. Yep, that's our Josslyn...and Josslyn wasn't thinking.

Is Sonny Thinking?

No matter how much we wanted to put tape over Josslyn's big mouth when she got in Sonny's face, we still don't advocate Sonny putting Josslyn and Hudson's heads on the proverbial chopping block. We are not quite sure what Sonny has planned, but it does not sound good at all. As Ric reminded him, whatever he laid out off-screen during the commercial break was not exactly legal. Well, Sonny doesn't care.

And Sonny doesn't care at the exact wrong time because Anna almost has Justine convinced that Sonny wasn't behind the Pentonville attack. We all know someone is going to get very hurt very soon (shootout coming this week, uh-oh) just as Justine is ready to tell Sonny she believes in him. Look what you did, Josslyn.

But can we blame Josslyn? Although what she did was wrong, Sonny retaliating using the Sonny way is even more wrong. Things are about to go from bad to worse for Sonny and he'll have nothing to blame but his lifelong temper...

Avery's Mom

So, let us get this straight. Ava Jerome, a woman who is supposed to be of above-average savvy and intelligence, teamed up with Drew Cain to bring Sonny down and gain full custody of her daughter, committing some serious crimes along the way. When her daughter finally hears from her own former stepsister that her dad is one of the big bads in town, Ava tells Avery that Josslyn is lying and her dad is the saint Avery has always believed him to be.

Ava now has to marry Drew because of her obsession with bringing down Sonny for Avery's sake, but when she had the ideal opportunity to sully Sonny's reputation, she refused. Is that because she just buried a man's body in a nature preserve and now has to wait to be arrested? Did she realize she's a bit of a hypocrite, much? Yeah, Avery is in for one heck of a welcome to the GH teen scene.

About Avery...

When we first saw Ayla Bullington studying her Spanish via flashcards as Avery Corinthos, our first thought was that they had finally SORAS'd Avery. Then, we realized Avery should be right around this age because she was born in 2014 and it's almost 2027. That means Avery should be older than Scout, but instead, Scout is now older than Avery.

Please let GH remember that Avery is related to Danny, even more so than Charlotte was. Never forget that Danny's granddad is Avery's uncle, which makes Avery his cousin, but not nearly as "removed" as Charlotte was. Avery is also related to Rocco as she is his aunt. It can get confusing, but as of now Avery is likely too young to be paired with anyone. By the time she is, Avery would need some SORAS'd boys. She's technically not blood-related to Wiley, right?

The PCPD Springs to Life

We'll just say it. Detective Joe Fitzpatrick is the best PCPD find in years. He is a detective who actually detects and he's usually headed in the right direction. After years of watching Jordan (and Chase) bumble case after case, Joe is everything Port Charles needs.

And who is his perfect partner? Well, Molly, of course. What is this girl doing masquerading as a lawyer? She is the perfect romance novelist/cop. Molly and Joe figured out the whole Jack Brennan murder case in a matter of hours. And who couldn't laugh at Molly running to her mother to tell her Drew was almost a thing of the past?

Too bad Drew was one step ahead of them — or at least Monet was. Now, her firm is representing Drew and got him to marry Ava. That isn't going to sit well with Alexis. The last thing she needs is for Aunt Ava to be Scout's latest stepmommy.

But we digress. We knew Molly and Joe wouldn't be arresting Drew and Ava any time soon or the story would be over, but it's nice to see Port Charles law enforcement on the ball.

Back to Josslyn and the Jackses

Josslyn might spread herself a little too thin as she pursues her vendetta against Sonny, tries to run Jude out of town, run a company, and complete her mission. Let's not forget that Josslyn is still on the WSB payroll and her job is to find something unusual at JJE to report back to Baines and Z. Did she forget this as she cuts down power supplies and shows up in hotel rooms clad in black like a common Valentin Cassadine?

Watching a 23-year-old play international spy is not as appealing as it sounds, GH, especially when her high school BFF is involved in a pop star stalker story, featuring the crazy woman who tried to hook Joss as 2022 turned into 2023. Did Josslyn forget about that incident? Big, bad meanie Sonny had his guys protecting her and she ditched them, leading to Britt's presumed death for two years.

Now, Josslyn's latest enemy is Britt's new boyfriend and also her cousin. Of course, Josslyn dug up the reason his proverbial biological clock was ticking because she is Josslyn and she can do anything. Is Josslyn right? Did Jude really pay Delilah to have his child for the money or did he really want a baby? Cause this guy doesn't seem like the girl dad type...

Around Port Charles...

"You're amazing." Oh, really, Dante? So, when are you going to make your move? This has been going on since February and it's getting old.

We're not sure what to make of Heather. She seems harmless this time around, but when Emma got in her face, it became clear that Heather could be provoked at any moment.

So, who is stalking Trina? The problem is, we are not sure we care. We have seen someone with a Trina poster for months and this story has gone nowhere. That's why we are not sure we care. At this point, if it's anyone other than Esme, it means nothing.

And that is where we leave things this week. A stalker we don't care about, a wedding that should be a funeral, and an international spy who needs to learn when to be quiet. All in a week's work in Port Charles.
