Cody Helps Molly Investigate Ava And Ric – And The Daughter’s Disgust For Her Father! | GH Spoilers

On General Hospital, shocking secrets and deep betrayal come to light as an unexpected alliance forms between Cody Bell and Molly Lansing-Davis. The duo dives into a web of deceit spun by Ric Lansing and Ava Jerome, and what they uncover sends shockwaves through Port Charles. Get ready—this isn’t just a scandal, it’s an emotional reckoning for Molly, who realizes her father may be more dangerous than she ever imagined.

It all begins at the Brown Dog Café, the last place anyone would expect to find Ava and Ric clinking champagne glasses and reveling in victory. The atmosphere is cozy, even romantic, but the reasons behind their celebration are anything but innocent. They’ve successfully gained leverage over Alexis Davis using a video that shows Kristina Corinthos-Davis committing a serious crime—one capable of destroying Alexis’s reputation and livelihood. Ava, wearing an eye-catching green dress, seems completely at ease beside Ric, who’s clad in an expensive tailored suit. Together, they toast not just to blackmail, but to the power they now hold over Alexis.

But their celebration doesn’t go unnoticed.

Cody, the ever-alert bartender at the Brown Dog, starts to piece things together when he accidentally hands Ava a high-limit Doolo’s credit card bearing the name “A. Jerome Lansing.” That name raises red flags. Ava Jerome is rumored to be flat broke. So how did she land access to one of the most elite cards in existence? And more troubling—why is Ric, known for his financial conservatism, suddenly entangled in Ava’s spending?

Cody becomes suspicious as the charges pile up—private wine tastings, high-end seafood platters, and even lavish catering orders all billed to this mysterious card. Cody’s instincts tell him something’s not right, and he knows exactly who to call: Molly Lansing-Davis.

Molly listens closely as Cody lays out the extravagant charges. Her initial disbelief quickly gives way to concern. Determined to get to the bottom of it, she begins her own investigation. What she finds horrifies her. A shared credit line between her father and Ava? With luxury charges in the tens of thousands? Molly remembers a time when Ric generously spent on her birthday celebration, believing it came from a place of love. Now, she fears it was just part of a larger, darker scheme.

Molly confronts Ric directly, laying the credit card statement in front of him. Calmly, Ric explains it away—he’s simply helping Ava get back on her feet after a tough financial stretch. He claims it’s a harmless favor. But when Molly presses about the high-end card and shared names, Ric’s story begins to unravel. He insists it’s all about discretion and practicality, but Molly can’t shake her doubts.

Then, a new piece of the puzzle falls into place.

While visiting Alexis to discuss a charity event, Molly spots another Doolo’s statement in her aunt’s office. It contains similarly lavish charges, but Alexis has never been one for indulgence. Why, then, is her name on the bill? Molly’s mind races. Could Alexis be unknowingly—or unwillingly—footing the bill for Ric and Ava’s extravagant lifestyle? And if so, is it all a cover for hush money?

Suddenly, it clicks. The video. The leverage. The blackmail.

If Ric and Ava are using Kristina’s crime to extort Alexis, it would explain everything. The credit cards, the spending, the silence. Alexis is paying to keep the video buried, and Ric is right in the middle of it. Fueled by a mix of rage and betrayal, Molly decides to take action. She meets Cody at the Brown Dog again that evening, sharing the newest piece of evidence—the statement from Alexis’s office.

They dig deeper together, comparing timestamps, receipts, and footage. Patterns emerge. Ava and Ric are regulars at the café, always ordering extravagantly and never paying out of pocket. And every transaction aligns with high charges on the Doolo’s cards tied to Ric and Alexis. It becomes glaringly clear: Alexis is being financially drained to protect Kristina’s secret, and Ric is enabling it.

“This is blackmail,” Molly whispers as she and Cody pore over the evidence. “And my father… he’s either neck-deep in it or being used as a pawn.”

But they need more than financial records. They need a smoking gun.

The opportunity comes the next day. Molly learns that Ric and Ava plan to return to the café for another private rendezvous. With Cody’s help, she sneaks into the Brown Dog’s private room, quietly setting up a recording device. Through a narrow window, she sees them, champagne in hand and grinning with wicked satisfaction.

Then, she hears it.

Ava laughs as she flashes a video of Kristina on her phone—blood-stained and stumbling out of an alley. Ric, chillingly calm, mutters, “Alexis will pay whatever we demand to keep this hidden.” Molly’s breath catches. She begins filming.

Ava’s voice follows, cold and cutting. “She’ll never forgive you, Kristina.” It’s all there—proof of the crime, and proof of the extortion.

Molly whispers into the camera, timestamping the moment and narrating what she’s witnessing. Then comes Ric’s voice again, confirming everything. “It’s business. Alexis owes us. And if she balks, we leak it all.”

The betrayal cuts deeper than Molly ever anticipated. Not only has her father helped exploit her aunt, but he’s weaponized a family tragedy for personal gain. The lines between loyalty and corruption have been obliterated.

As she quietly slips away, her recording safe in hand, Molly knows what must come next. This tape could destroy Ric and Ava’s operation. It could free Alexis from their grip—and protect Kristina from public disgrace.

Molly may not have expected to become a whistleblower, but with Cody by her side and the truth now on her side, she’s ready to expose everything. The reckoning is coming—and no one, not even her father, will be spared.
