General Hospital’s Ava has done something lately that would have seemed impossible a year ago: she’s made peace. Sonny, once the target of her fury, has settled into a tense but workable custody agreement over Avery. Kristina and Alexis, who had once tangled with her blackmail and bitterness, are also recipients of Ava’s end to conflict. Ava has laid down almost all of her weapons across Port Charles…except for one.
Key Takeaways
- Ava has made peace with Sonny, Kristina, and Alexis, choosing coexistence over conflict.
- Lucy stormed out of Wyndemere after believing Sidwell chose Ava, ending their relationship.
- When Lucy and Ava crossed paths at the nail salon, Ava verbally tore into her without restraint.
- While Ava has buried the hatchet with most of Port Charles, her feud with Lucy remains very much alive.
Lucy Walked Out — and Walked Into It Again
Lucy (Lynn Herring) stormed out of Wyndemere after convincing herself that Sidwell (Carlo Rota) had chosen Ava (Maura West) over her. She left her picnic basket behind, along with what she dramatically declared was her relationship.
The universe, being cruel and small-town efficient, pushed Lucy and Ava back together at the nail salon. Lucy had tried to relax, while Ava had taken one look at her and immediately spotted the energy. The barbs started flying before the polish dried.
Ava didn’t just spar with Lucy; she unloaded on her. She suggested Sidwell used Lucy for leverage on purchasing Wyndemere and implied Lucy had worn out her welcome by being too much “Lucy.” It wasn’t subtle or restrained. Lucy huffed, rescheduled her appointment, and fled, while Ava remained unfettered.
Everyone Else Got the Ceasefire
The contrast was sharp. Ava had chosen calm with Sonny (Maurice Benard), accepting shared custody over perpetual war. Their peace isn’t warm, but it’s functional. In Port Charles terms, that counts.
With Kristina (Kate Mansi) and Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn), she stunned everyone by offering a way out instead of revenge. She let go of what she once called leftover poison. It just made sense because shedding years of anger is better for everyone’s health.
Even Cody (Josh Kelly), who had entered her life under questionable pretenses, found himself in a strange détente with her. Ava had proven she could pivot and coexist with everyone. Just not with Lucy.
When Lucy later showed up at Sonny’s, asking him to “clean Sidwell’s clock,” it was clear the feud hadn’t cooled. Ava might have buried the hatchet around town, but one blade remains polished and within reach.
