General Hospital - April 24, 2018 Episode Reflections

So Ava finds more ways to tick me off everyday, but hey - it was a decent episode. 

So it's great that Griffin is overhearing Ava with Scott. He may open his eyes, because he even asked her afterwards, "Are you sure this is the wisest tactic?"  Of course, the next set of lines produced the best reaction yet.....

"Penalizing Mr. Corbin will just add to his suffering, and Sonny's family's suffering." "Do you think I give a damn about Sonny's suffering?" 

It's only a matter of time until Griffin walks away because he was even pleading with her already in saying, "Ava, find some compassion...." But we all know that's like asking for a miracle because that'll never happen. A cow will fly over the moon first.

I wanted to punch Ava when she brought up Morgan in saying, "So Morgan missed a couple doses of Lithium. It doesn't mean anything to do with the bomb in Julian's car." If you think about it, Morgan never would've gotten in the car because he wouldn't be off his meds if not for Ava. But good try in shifting responsibility there. Besides, Sonny did not plant the bomb. Didn't we spend enough time to remember that?

Griffin continued to show signs of opened eyes in asking, "After all the times you talked about being a better person, are you willing to risk Mr. Corbin's well being?" Ava talks the talk, but she'll never walk the walk. That's just who she is, even if she wants to justify it by saying, "It's a lot easier to be a saint when you're living in paradise. I happen to be living in the real world." But that still doesn't explain half of her decisions.

I forget who said it now but it's perfect in them saying, "It's not like Griffin is going to make you choose between him or your daughter." I wish he'd hook up with Kiki instead - and cue how they cut to Kiki next and Griffin carrying for her. That said, I can see Griffin figuring out the Kiki/Dr. Bensch situation based on that, too. Also, based on his annoying attitude and how much of a buttpain he was today, can I smack Dr. Bensch upside the head?

Once again, Nelle gets annoying with her dialogue as today's verse was, "I didn't want to make things worse with your mom." No, but you'll make her go insane.

Michael is right in saying that "it's going to take awhile before she takes her actions at face value." I hope she doesn't and actually suspects Nelle right now. That way, we can rid of this storyline and Nelle all together.

On the flip side, Michael saying "it's a surprise what people can look past when a child is a common interest" scares me. It makes me wonder what will come down the road once Michael finds out Nelle has been screwing with Carly. He better not easily forgive her. That said, I sympathize with Michael's stance on wanting to avoid a custody battle, given his own situation growing up dealing with Carly and AJ.

"You do well to forget me." "That's not going to happen." You don't turn your back on family - ever. That said, Mike and Sonny are really hitting the feels again.....

Dante is right in saying "you know the longer he stays in that cell without anything familiar, the quicker he's going to slip away." That said, I feel bad for Mike, bad for Sonny, and Ava is the worse deceiving witch that we've ever met. I can see Sonny agreeing for Mike's sake, and it'll pain me....

So how about that proposal from Curtis to Jordan? That came out of nowhere.....

PREVIEW

I practically smiled when Sam said, "Spinelli stranded us here on purposes." Does that surprise me? He saw the signs of chemistry brewing in the bank and wants to make good on it before they go home.  That said, Jason told him to stay out of it so could be seeing something that's not true.
