Making the Rounds at General Hospital: The Fallout

PCPD jumped on Logan’s death and set out to question everyone they thought could be involved. After taking Nadine’s statement about a dark sedan and a partial plate number, they questioned Matt Hunter, who shared that he’d seen a belligerent Logan fighting with Maxie. Nikolas and Nadine went with the police to answer more questions at the station; there, Nikolas expressed concerns for Nadine’s safety as a witness to the crime. She was undeterred, though, and continued to help the police.

The cops then turned their sights on Port Charles’ No. 1 criminal suspect, Jason. Diane had dropped by the penthouse to warn him about Logan’s death and how because of Logan’s involvement with the Zacharras, Jason would most likely be a suspect. He told Diane that he didn’t have anything to do with it and gave her three alibis for the night. Soon, Detective Harper came knocking on the penthouse door and took Jason into custody when he lawyered up under Diane’s watchful eye. Spinelli immediately hit the net to try and find the real murder and absolve his master.

Jason was soon released after Nadine didn’t identify him in a line-up, but not before Carly barged in and made a scene about Jason being in custody. She was allowed to speak with him in private, but in true Carly fashion, the discussion quickly turned to focus on her. She told Jason that she’d give the press access to the Crimson offices and started a rumor that Kate had an affair with her former boss at Coutour.

Claudia continued with damage control of the Logan situation. She arranged for the hacked-up front door to be replaced, but disagreed with Johnny about replacing the blood-stained rug. She thought it would raise too much suspicion. She also told Johnny that she was worried that Lulu was a bigger danger to the situation than the rug, since she was so reluctant to accept the cover-up.

It looks like Claudia may indeed have something to worry about. At Kelly’s, Lulu wavered back and forth with Maxie about what happened. She wanted to tell the police the truth and Maxie kept talking her out of it. Then Mac showed up to break the news to Maxie about Logan’s death and was surprised to see the two enemies together. Maxie quickly came up with a story about them trying to work out their differences. When Mac told them both what happened, Maxie put on a shocked face, while Lulu looked like she was in shock – which she undoubtedly still was from everything that happened.

A similar situation took place later when Lulu was with Johnny, and he too tried to talk her out of going to the police. Then Mac and Lucky showed up to question Johnny. Lucky took Lulu to Kelly’s and started with the “dating Johnny is dangerous” lecture again, while Mac stayed behind with Johnny.

After Mac left Kelly’s, Maxie went to Jason’s office and freaked out to see that Spinelli was trying to find surveillance tapes that showed who dropped off Logan’s body by the clinic so that Jason would be exonerated. To try and stop him, Maxie spilled soda on his keyboard. The Jackal was outraged. Maxie tried to play it off like Jason would never get convicted of anything and it didn’t matter since he was innocent. Her confidence in Jason’s innocence raised Spinelli’s suspicions.
