General Hospital spoilers: Alexis, Kristina and Ric… who's headed to prison?
While we've been incredibly frustrated by General Hospital's tawdry romance storyline between Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), we've managed to reserve some frustration for Kristina's (Kate Mansi) failed murder plot against Ava (Maura West) and the subsequent cover-up and manipulation.
Not only did Kristina foolishly try to cut Ava's brakes to kill the art gallery owner, only to cut the brakes of Ric's (Rick Hearst) car instead and nearly kill him and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst), but then Ava decided to use this whole ordeal as a money grab with Ric's seal of approval.
Ava went to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and blackmailed the attorney into foolishly embezzling from the Cassadine estate (money belonging to baby Ace) to fund Ava and Ric's lifestyles, all in an effort to keep Kristina from going to prison. Additionally, Alexis has professed to wanting to keep Molly (Krsten Vaganos) in the dark about her sister almost killing her father, hoping to preserve the Davis sisterhood.
So, just recapping all of this. Kristina has attempted murder. Alexis, Ric and Ava are all guilty of embezzlement. Ava is also guilty of tampering with evidence, given that she hid Ric's car and took the parking garage footage of her building. Oh, and Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) aptly pointed out in the General Hospital episode that aired on June 2, he's an accessory after the fact to attempted murder, given he learned what Kristina did the night of the car crash. With that being said, it would seem everyone in this scenario has put themselves in danger of being arrested, tried and convicted.
Should writers try and make sure some justice is served as it pertains to this storyline, the question is who would wind up paying the price? If we had to guess, there's a good chance Kristina may wind up confessing to attempted murder, but stress she was not in the right frame of mind.
Although Alexis warned her daughter not to do this, Kristina may grow tired of seeing her mother compromise her own freedom and law license. Then, to make sure Alexis doesn't go to prison for embezzlement, Kristina may bring Michael (Rory Gibson) up to speed and borrow a few million to replenish the money Alexis stole from the Cassadine estate.
If Kristina is somehow spared, then we think Alexis could wind up going back to prison. At this point, it would almost serve Alexis right to be dragged into police custody. Had she just done what Diane (Carolyn Hennesy) told her to do and have Kristina committed to a mental health facility in an attempt to establish a possible winnable defense in court for her child, things may not have snowballed this far.
Ultimately, though, if Alexis is arrested in the near future, she may claim to have cut the brakes herself and then committed embezzlement to keep Ava and Ric quiet, just to spare Kristina a prison stint. Alexis may feel she can possibly mount a defense to have the charges dropped should the case go to trial.
After all, Spinelli may be able to make sure the parking garage video goes away for good, and Diane could have the actual car tossed as evidence, given Ava tampered with it. Additionally, Alexis may be able to convince Laura (Genie Francis) to drop any future embezzlement charges by telling the truth.
For now, our guess that either Kristina or Alexis will be adorning silver 'bracelets' soon is just a hunch we have. But we sincerely hope this whole car crash storyline finds some resolution soon. By the way, whoever is arrested and however the truth comes out, the news is bound to infuriate Molly.

'Betrayal of duty': US Army soldiers get prison in West Texas migrant smuggling case
Three now-former U.S. Army soldiers from Fort Hood are heading to federal prison after pleading guilty to a migrant smuggling attempt involving a high-speed chase in West Texas last fall, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Texas said. Former Pfc. Enrique Jauregui, 26, who recruited two other soldiers in a smuggling attempt he organized, was sentenced to two years plus nine months (33 months) in prison in federal court in Pecos, Texas, last week on June 16, the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a statement. He also was ordered to pay a $10,000 fine. More: Drug cartels: Bodies hanged from bridge outside Juárez. Armored vehicles seized. Jauregui recruited Spc. Angel Palma, 21, and Pfc. Emilio Mendoza Lopez, 22, to drive from Fort Hood (then named Fort Cavazos) to pick up a group of undocumented migrants at the border near Presidio, Texas, on Nov. 27, 2024. All three soldiers pleaded guilty earlier this year to one count of aiding and abetting the transportation of illegal aliens for financial gain. In May, Palma and Mendoza Lopez were each sentenced to two years (24 months) in federal prison, the U.S. Attorney's Office said. "The sentencing of these individuals underscores the serious consequences of engaging in human smuggling," Homeland Security Investigations El Paso Special Agent in Charge Jason T. Stevens said in a statement. "Recruiting fellow soldiers to participate in illegal activities, culminating in a reckless high-speed chase with law enforcement, is a blatant betrayal of duty and public trust." The soldiers were to be paid an undisclosed amount of money for transporting three undocumented migrants — one from Mexico and two from Guatemala — from Presidio to Odessa on a route bypassing the Marfa Border Patrol checkpoint, according to federal criminal complaint documents. Presidio is on the border with Ojinaga, Chihuahua. On the evening of Nov. 27, a Border Patrol agent saw a black GMC SUV at a smuggling hot spot on a road within 100 feet of the Rio Grande between Lajitas and Presidio, the complaint stated. When the Border Patrol agent attempted to pull it over, the SUV fled, sparking a high-speed chase were an agent was injured when the SUV hit a marked Border Patrol vehicle, authorities said. Presidio County sheriff's deputies and Presidio police stopped the SUV in Presidio as people ran from the vehicle. Mendoza Lopez and the three undocumented migrants were arrested. Palma fled but HSI agents found him the next day in a hotel in Odessa, the complaint stated. A search warrant by HSI retrieved cellphone WhatsApp audio and text messages between the soldiers with Jauregui instructing them to be on "full criminal mode ... full I'm a thug mode," the complaint stated. The case was investigated by HSI, Border Patrol, and the Department of the Army Criminal Investigations Division. "These three turned their backs on their values in a way that put our nation at risk, and put at risk the lives of others, including the lives of law enforcement officers," U.S. Attorney Justin Simmons for the Western District of Texas said in a statement. "Everyone in this district, regardless of whether you wear the uniform or not, should take note: if you seek to enrich yourself by moving illegal aliens into or through this country, you will face the consequences of federal prosecution and will likely find yourself in federal prison," Simmons said.
