General Hospital: Willow’s Shocking Scheme to Trap Valentin Exposed!?

General Hospital has Willow Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen) cooking up a new scheme to hide her awful secrets and it looks like she has a new target. She is so desperate to keep hidden what she did to Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison). And if others have to go down as collateral damage, you know, she’s prepared to play dirty.

We’re going to talk about how Willow approaches Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) with a deal that might involve using Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) to trap Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart). Let’s get into it.

Willow Meets With Jack Brennan on General Hospital

So, this week, Willow meets with Jack up at her official congressperson’s office and she tells the local WSB chief that they are in a position to help one another, which is pretty interesting, smells like a rat, right? And recently, Nina had told Willow about the traffic cam footage that Jack deleted from the PCPD server, but he’s still hanging on to it.

So, Nina made a deal to help Jack get Valentin if he would help Willow’s case in her trial for shooting Drew. And Nina told Willow that he disappeared the footage and now she owes Jack and he’s cashing in by making her get Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) to tell her where Valentin is hiding.

Willow Preparing for the Worst on GH

And the problem is Willow doesn’t trust Nina and she thinks that her mom might protect Charlotte over her since the other girl’s just a kid. And that’s why Willow got Nina’s fingerprints on the syringe that injected Drew with some of that paralytic agent that’s keeping him under control. So, now Willow’s basically done all she can to make sure Nina can’t work against her. But Jack remains a major problem. And we know more than anything Willow wants those traffic cam photos gone for good.

Willow May Offer Jack A Deal

I don’t know if she will directly tell Jack that she knows he erased the footage from the police server and has a copy. But honestly, Willow might be direct like that. She might tell Jack, “Look, I know you have photos of me from that night.” And Willow might tell Jack this whole sob story about how the footage looks bad, but she’s really not guilty. I don’t think she’ll confess to him.

And she can tell Jack that even though she didn’t shoot Drew, she knows that the pictures could harm her political career. And Willow might blather on about loving Drew and that’s why she’s got him at home so she can take care of him. You know, Willow could lay on the whole I’m Miss innocent crap real thick. And she could make Jack an offer that he can’t and won’t refuse.

Willow may tell Brennan that she knows he’s desperate to find Valentin. Because he’s a dangerous criminal and an international fugitive. And Willow can remind Jack that she is not either of those things. You know, Willow can try and say she’s just a mom and a congresswoman trying to make a change in the world and how she’s devoted to caring for her paralyzed husband, you know, who’s a veteran, all that blah blah about Drew. And so Willow could offer Jack a deal. He deletes the photos once and for all if she gives him Valentin.

Jack Would Keep All Three Women In Play on General Hospital

Now, I definitely think Jack would take that deal if that’s what Willow offers, but at the same time, I don’t think Jack would stop any of the other deals he’s got in the works. You know, he made that offer to Jacinda Bracken (PaigeHerschell), and so she’s willing to conspire with him to help out Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson).

And of course, Jack is still trying to blackmail info about Valentin out of Nina. So, I don’t think Jack is going to stop pressuring Nina or working with Jacinda. I think Jack would keep all three women in play, Willow, Nina, and Jacinda. Because let’s face it, Brennan’s a sneaky spy and he always thinks about contingency plans.

General Hospital: Jack Tempts Jacinda

So, I do expect Jack to keep tempting Jacinda to get info out of Charlotte, but I don’t think Jacinda is going to get too far. Because Charlotte isn’t dumb. But Jacinda might be able to get confirmation that Valentin is definitely still in Port Charles. That would be helpful to Jack. That would narrow down the search. Because he’s probably got WSB agents all over the world looking around for Valentin on General Hospital.

And if Jack can focus the search in Port Charles, that would help him a lot. So he could focus his search strictly in town, pull back the other agents, and just tear things up looking for Valentin. And of course, Jack would not suspect that Valentin is hiding in Carly Spencer‘s (Laura Wright) attic. So that’s a big point in Valentin’s favor.

Nina Is About To Feed Jack Fake Info on GH

And then of course with Nina, she’s about to start feeding Jack fake information that Valentin gives to her and tells her to share. And that should send Jack further afield on a wild goose chase. But Nina’s info might be enough so that Jack feels like he’s making progress. And Valentin wants Nina to give Jack information to tell him that there’s a spot where he and Charlotte meet in secret so that Jack will show up there and then Valentin can trap him.

However, Willow could throw a big old wrench into those plans if she finds out about it. So, we could see her pumping Nina for info. So far, she hasn’t told Willow that Valentin was at her apartment, but there is a chance Nina might mention it, saying, “Oh, I’m working this out. I’m going to save you.” You know, and if she does, she might also tell Willow that she is working with Valentin to shut down Brennan once and for all.

Willow Could Sacrifice Valentin

But we know that Willow in any given situation always does the most selfish thing, even if it puts other people at risk. So, she might actually turn around and warn Jack that Valentin met with Nina, but slipped in and slipped out before she could call anybody and tell them.

I don’t think Willow would directly sell her mom, Nina, down the river, but she might tell Jack that she thinks that Valentin is using her mom. So, we could see Jack show up at that meeting spot, but he’s got a bunch of agents hidden nearby if he has been warned it’s a trap. So, I think Willow could absolutely hatch a plan that sacrifices Valentin to protect herself.

I mean, what reason does Willow have to protect Valentin? You know, and of course, Jack capturing him would hurt Charlotte, but we already know Willow prioritizes what she wants over everybody else. And honestly, she’s never really liked Charlotte. So, I could definitely see Willow playing a dirty trick to trap Valentin trying to save her own butt.

This Could Be a Deal Breaker for Carly on General Hospital

Another reason I think this is all interesting is because of Carly. She already hates Willow for what she’s done to Michael with the cheating and just everything. And once it comes out that Willow was conspiring with Jack, I think that could be a deal breaker for Carly where she is 100% done with Jack.

Because when Carly finds out Jack had photos that would have implicated Willow and exonerated Michael, I think that’s going to be it for Carly. Also because he recruited Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) into the WSB, you know, has been lying to Carly’s face for a long time and then let Michael be at risk of being prosecuted for Drew’s shooting.

So, with May sweeps kicking off today and Drew communicating with Elizabeth or trying to and then this deal Willow makes with Jack, to me, it definitely feels like Willow is poised for an epic fall. I think she’s going to go down in May sweeps. And this also aligns with a recent leak from our source that said Willow was going to end up in Shadybrook. So things are about to get super soapy in Port Charles.
