Sonny Confesses To Natalia That He Killed Cates, Dex Is Shot While Secretly Recording Evidence!
General Hospital spoilers tease that the PCPD will eventually find evidence that Sonny Corinthos was the one who murdered FBI agent John Kates. Of course, no secret lasts forever, and it was Natalia Ramirez’s jealousy that drove Sonny to the brink.
The recent death of Sam McCall has shaken Port Charles, and her absence has left a deep void in the lives of those who cared for her. Many are still grieving, each in their own way. Sonny Corinthos is particularly affected, taking it upon himself to comfort Sam’s family and support them through this difficult time. Like many others, Sonny hopes the police can bring closure to Kates’s murder.
However, there has recently been a surprising turn in the investigation. Alexis Davis, who was previously suspected in Kates’s death, is cleared after new evidence provides her with a solid alibi. Meanwhile, the police have also dropped their investigation into Sonny and Carly Spencer due to their previous false statements. This decision halts further questioning related to the night of Kates’s murder, leaving many in town frustrated and confused as to whether the case will ever be solved.
This uneasy calm is shattered when Natalia, fueled by jealousy and suspicion, reenters the investigation. Natalia becomes increasingly wary of Carly, believing she was romantically involved with both Sonny and Jack Brennan. Driven by jealousy, Natalia confronts Sonny and demands answers, questioning his version of events. Natalia asks Sonny pointedly if he was actually with Carly the night Kates was killed, hinting that Sonny and Carly’s testimony may not be entirely truthful.
Already under immense emotional strain, Sonny grows increasingly frustrated with Natalia’s relentless questioning. Her approach, resembling a police interrogation, only exacerbates his agitation. Finally, in a moment of intense anger and vulnerability, Sonny explodes. He blurts out the shocking truth: he was the one who killed Kates, and the statements he and Carly provided were false.
Natalia is left stunned, her mind reeling as she processes the bombshell Sonny has just dropped. For a moment, she considers going to the PCPD, knowing her information could shed light on the entire investigation. However, before she can act, the scene takes a darker turn.
Unbeknownst to both Sonny and Natalia, Dex had been lurking nearby, eavesdropping on their tense exchange. Recording their conversation with a hidden device, Dex had positioned himself to gather valuable information. But as he attempted to make a discreet exit, Sonny’s instincts kicked in. Sensing someone’s presence, Sonny scanned the area and quickly spotted Dex trying to slip away.
In a burst of adrenaline, Sonny reacted defensively and drew his weapon. Without hesitation, he fired a shot, intent on preventing any potential leak of his dangerous secret. Dex, caught off guard, was unable to dodge the attack completely, leaving him severely injured. He collapsed as Sonny and Natalia rushed to assess the situation, the gravity of their actions setting in. Dex was soon taken to the hospital, his injuries life-threatening.
Sonny’s split-second decision escalated the situation to a full-blown crisis with potentially irreversible consequences. With Dex’s life hanging in the balance, Sonny found himself under immediate law enforcement scrutiny. News of the incident spread rapidly, raising questions about Sonny’s intentions and actions that night. The PCPD wasted no time in arresting Sonny, linking the attack on Dex to him and deepening the suspicion surrounding Kates’s murder. Sonny now faced the very real possibility of charges not just for attacking Dex but for killing Kates, adding a new level of scandal to the impending legal battle.
