According to General Hospital spoilers, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is sure he can protect Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) from harm, but he might be underestimated by Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), the guy he is up against this time. Even though Jason’s assurance that Sonny won’t kill Dex is unlikely to bring Dex any comfort, it has temporarily placated Josslyn “Joss” Jacks (Eden McCoy).
Jason promised Joss he wouldn’t allow anything to happen to Dex, but given Sonny’s erratic behavior, it will be challenging to uphold that pledge.
Jason was right in telling Dex that Sonny knows better than to target a cop, but Sonny isn’t himself right now and no one knows why except Ava Jerome (Maura West) and Nikolas Cassadine (Adam Huss). Will that secret make its way into Jason’s hands in time to keep Dex protected?
Consider Joss Jacks Placated
Joss has been worried that Dex’s leap toward law enforcement would spell certain death for him with Sonny.
She knows how her former stepfather operates and couldn’t believe that Dex would even take such a risk with his life. But she also quickly realized that she wouldn’t be able to convince Dex to leave Port Charles or go in another direction with his life.
Feeling partly responsible for his decision to go do something overtly good with his life — possibly in an attempt to show her he is a changed man — she felt compelled to pull Jason into the mix in a desperate attempt to prevent Sonny from killing the man she loves. Will her efforts be a waste?
Tease Dex Heller Proceeds With Caution
Dex may be consciously aware of Sonny’s threat to his mere existence, but he’s not going to live in fear. He can’t hide from the guy for the rest of his life and be happy at the same time.
Taking the biggest chance he has yet, getting into the Port Charles Police Academy is going to bring Dex a sense of satisfaction he hasn’t felt since he first joined the military.
Besides, he knows that any chance he has at scoring another shot with Joss will have to come by way of him earning it and proving to her that he’s not the type of guy who kills helpless, fragile, old men. But will Dex overestimate his sense of safety with Jason looking out for him?
Jason Morgan Doesn’t Know Who He’s Working Against
It wouldn’t be Dex’s fault if he got the impression that he didn’t have to worry about Sonny anymore because Jason was on the case. He can’t possibly have ears and eyes on Sonny all the time, and he certainly doesn’t have such resources inside of Sonny’s organization.
He’ll strike Dex if he feels like it. Jason will need to employ more cunning strategies to keep Sonny away.
His most recent attempt was to warn Sonny that if he goes through with any plans to assassinate Dex, he would lose Kristina Corinthos Davis (Kate Mansi). But without his medicine, Kristina might not be as important to Sonny as she usually is.
To keep his daughter happy, will he risk his entire enterprise burning up in smoke due to a rat like Dex? It sounds nothing like that. Dex might require additional security than Jason can provide. See how this plays out by coming back for more GH news and spoilers.
