General Hospital‘s trial of the century is about to wrap up, but there will be major fallout. Michael and Jacinda’s romance could be over before it began, or they may arise stronger.
Key Takeaways
- Jacinda told the truth, and Michael’s alibi blew up.
- Jacinda didn’t leave town with Kristina’s money.
- She walked away from a relationship with Ezra.
- Michael’s feelings for her may or may not be real.
Jacinda Is No Longer An Alibi
Michael (Rory Gibson) needed an alibi for the night of Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) shooting, and Jacinda (Paige Herschell) provided one. It was slightly doubtful, but it worked, until it didn’t. Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) used her skills as an attorney to uncover the truth; Jacinda was with Ezra (Daniel Cosgrove), not Michael, when someone shot the congressman.
The former sex worker told the truth on the stand. She didn’t perjure herself, although she knew it would make Michael look guilty. He is not mad about it because he knows she did the right thing. Assuming he isn’t the culprit, where does that leave this blossoming romance?
Love Story Over Or Just Beginning?
Michael and Jacinda were starting to care for each other, and their relationship was beginning to blossom, but the craziness of the trial might jeopardize it.
Kristina (Kate Mansi) gave Jacinda a bag full of money to leave town and not testify. It was tempting, but she decided to stay and do what needed to be done. Michael seems to respect her decision, but that might change. Plus, Ezra made it appear that his relationship with Jacinda was more than just business. Then, he made her a creepy offer to be with him, but she thankfully walked away. She is free to be with Michael if that is what they both want.
Michael’s feelings for Jacinda may be real, but they may not be. It is possible that he was playing her so that she would stick around as his alibi. When the trial is over, he might end things, and she will end up heartbroken. This new Michael has a very ruthless side.
