Drew Told Ava They’re Getting Married—Immediately!

Drew told Ava they had to marry right away so they couldn’t be compelled to testify against one another.
Ava resisted at first, but Drew persuaded her by arguing that if she went to prison, Avery Corinthos-Jerome (Ayla Bullingham) would wind up with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).
Ava went to G.H. and asked Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) to serve as her witness.
When she was vague about why she was marrying Drew, Lucas correctly guessed that it had something to do with Chief Jack Brennan’s (Chris L. McKenna) death.
Ava confessed that she hated the thought of marrying Drew but had no other choice, and pleaded with Lucas to stand by her.

The marriage plan follows Drew and Ava’s desperate wedding scheme to escape prison.
Lucas Reluctantly Agreed
Lucas reluctantly agreed, warning that no one would believe the marriage was genuine.
Ava gave a rueful chuckle and said she only needed it to be legal.
Meanwhile, Drew asked Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight) to prepare a post-nuptial agreement.
Martin was appalled that Drew planned to marry Ava, cautioning that prison was preferable to binding himself to a dangerous woman like her.
Later, Ava, Lucas, Drew, and Martin met at the city clerk’s office, where Lucas tried to delay the ceremony by insisting that Scout Cain (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) and Avery should be there, too.
Drew’s Vehicle Reported Stolen
The search for Jack’s DNA in Drew’s vehicle came to a halt when Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna), Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor), Joe Fitzpatrick (Jonathan Bennett), and Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) learned Drew had reported the SUV stolen that morning.
They decided to make Drew and Ava testify against each other.
Then the CSI report offered a new lead: five Lone Star ticks had been found near Jack’s body, and G.H. had treated a patient for a possible Lone Star tick infection several days after Jack died.
Dante headed to G.H. to seek the patient’s name without breaching HIPAA rules, while Justine reviewed Alexis Davis’s (Nancy Lee Grahn) account of the Drew-Brennan confrontation.
Since Alexis could be seen as biased, Justine decided they needed Metro Court employees to back up her story.
Justine Called Tristan Into The PCPD
Justine called Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) to the PCPD to review his statement.
She explained that the case might depend heavily on his testimony, since Drew’s SUV had supposedly been “stolen.”
Tristan questioned the convenient timing and asked whether she was accusing him of guilt; Justine replied that the issue was proof.
Meanwhile, Molly and Joe went to Drew’s office to serve his warrant, but found it empty.
Joe spotted a sticky note saying Drew had obtained a marriage license and realized he was planning to marry Ava—he and Molly hurried to City Hall.
As Celeb Dirty Laundry previously reported, Drew and Ava’s marriage scheme could complicate the investigation into Brennan’s death.
Josslyn Confronted Jude
Josslyn confronted Jude in his hotel room after learning Jasper “Jax” Jacks (formerly Ingo Rademacher) had cut him off for bribing people while working at JJE.
She also discovered Jude’s children remained eligible for a trust fund intended for future Jacks children, and accused him of deliberately having a child through IVF to claim a payout.
Josslyn offered him cash to leave, but Jude ominously insisted JJE was his birthright, too.
He continued: she could give him his money, or he would take it.
Refusing to let him stain her father’s legacy, Josslyn said she wouldn’t give him anything and stormed out.
Brook Lynn Opened Up To Gio
In the Quartermaine kitchen, Gio checked on Brook Lynn; she said Jude claimed to be Phoebe’s father, but she wasn’t sure he was her biological parent.
She knew Ethan Lovett (Nathan Dean) had faked his DNA test to protect the baby; Gio questioned whether Ethan had lied about Jude being dangerous and whether Jude truly loved his daughter.
But Brook Lynn couldn’t risk a DNA test confirming Jude’s claim; torn, Gio pointed out that they’d both been lied to about his adoption and asked why she’d put Phoebe through the same pain.
Before Brook Lynn could respond, an alert arrived: her DNA test results were ready at the G.H. lab—she promised they’d talk later and headed to the hospital.
Afterward, Gio called Josslyn about his cousin; she told him what she’d discovered about Phoebe’s inheritance and why she suspected Jude was only after the money.
Jude’s arrival and his claims about Phoebe were also covered in the October 29 General Hospital recap.
Britt Surprised Her Coworkers
Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) surprised Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst), Lucas, and Tristan by proposing a staff night out at the hatchet range.
When Britt excitedly said everyone could bring a date, Lucas teased her about the mystery man in her life.
Liz was even more puzzled when Britt later made a point of striking up a conversation.
Recognizing that Britt was sincerely trying, Liz asked about the man she was seeing and suggested he was behind Britt’s recent change in attitude.
Meanwhile, Britt was delighted when Jude approached her and asked to spend another evening together; as they chatted, Brook Lynn stepped out of the elevator and was unsettled to find Jude with Britt.
Liz Pulled Some Strings For Dante
At G.H., Dante asked Liz which patient had been treated for a Lone Star tick, then quickly reconsidered, concerned he’d put her in a difficult position.
Liz came up with a way to help without violating HIPAA: she opened the patient’s chart and let Dante guess.
As Elizabeth looked at the computer, Dante glanced at her and named Drew Cain and Ava Jerome.
Elizabeth touched her ear to quietly confirm that Ava was the patient.
Gazing at her adoringly, Dante remembered their intimate moment on Halloween and told her she was amazing; “You’re not too bad yourself,” she replied with a smile.
Annemarie’s Take
Drew really has some nerve! He’s practically pushing Ava down the aisle to save himself, and I can’t blame Lucas for thinking this marriage is a terrible idea.
But that tick clue could be the biggest development of all. If Dante can connect Ava to Brennan’s death, Drew’s little wedding scheme may not save either of them!
And I think Josslyn is onto something with Jude. His sudden interest in Phoebe looks even more suspicious now that there’s money involved. I can’t wait to see what those DNA results reveal!
