In General Hospital, the spotlight now shifts to the brooding, mysterious Vaughn—whose calm demeanor hides a burning purpose: revenge. Vaughn didn’t join the WSB out of loyalty, patriotism, or ambition. His motivations run far deeper and more personal. What the agency doesn’t realize is that Vaughn is using them—just as he’s using his proximity to Port Charles—to pursue the man who shattered his mother’s life and left him to grow up with nothing but questions.

His target? None other than Jason Morgan.

But before Vaughn’s vendetta began to take form, it was Jocelyn Jax who first made the daring leap. Having watched the chaos Sonny Corinthos brought to her family for years, Jocelyn had enough. When Christina was nearly killed—a direct consequence of Sonny’s double life as both a coffee mogul and a mob boss—something in her snapped. Jocelyn joined the WSB to destroy Sonny from within, hiding the truth from everyone around her. She lied to Carly, distanced herself from Dex, and told her best friend Trina she just needed space.

Then she met Vaughn.

He wasn’t like anyone she’d known before. He was calculated, emotionally guarded, but oddly patient with her. Their bond started with sparks and slowly grew into something neither of them expected. When Jocelyn finally revealed her secret WSB allegiance to Vaughn, she believed she was confessing the most dangerous part of herself. But Vaughn shocked her with a confession of his own: he was also with the WSB—and his reason had nothing to do with Sonny.

Vaughn’s mission was Jason Morgan.

His story is heartbreaking. Vaughn never knew his father, only that the man had abandoned his mother before Vaughn was even born. What fragments Vaughn pieced together from sealed records and WSB black files eventually led him to Port Charles—and to the conclusion that Jason Morgan was the man who’d walked away.

But there’s a twist. Vaughn isn’t just on a personal revenge mission; he may be the product of a long-buried WSB operation. Evidence suggests Vaughn’s very conception was part of a covert project involving stolen DNA and unauthorized medical procedures. Jason’s DNA, extracted during an old hospitalization, may have been used to create Vaughn as part of a failed experiment known as Project Helix.

What Vaughn believes, though, is more personal than conspiracy: Jason knew. Jason could’ve returned. He could’ve claimed his son. He didn’t. And for that, Vaughn plans to make him pay—not with violence, but with exposure.

Meanwhile, Jocelyn’s connection to Vaughn has deepened dangerously. She knows he’s hiding something but doesn’t realize how close to home it hits—until she breaks into his encrypted files and sees the truth. Vaughn is Jason’s son. And his plan to destroy Jason is already underway.

The betrayal shakes Jocelyn to her core. She idolized Jason, saw him as her protector, a legend, even an uncle. And Vaughn—the man she’s falling for—is plotting to ruin him. Torn between love and loyalty, Jocelyn confronts Vaughn, demanding to know if revenge is all he wants. Vaughn is cold, composed, but beneath his armor is a child abandoned, a man molded by bitterness.

Still, Jocelyn refuses to be a pawn. She threatens to expose Vaughn to the WSB if he follows through with his plan. At the last second—just as Jason is about to be implicated in a WSB scandal Vaughn fabricated—Vaughn destroys the burner phone carrying the damning intel. He spares Jason… for now.

But the damage is done.

Jocelyn and Vaughn part ways, their relationship fractured by half-truths and secrets. Vaughn disappears from Port Charles, leaving behind a photograph and a note for Jocelyn: “Some things you don’t choose, but some things choose you.” Jocelyn doesn’t cry this time. She isn’t broken—just changed.

And Jason? He finds a flash drive and a cryptic message urging him to ask Elizabeth about a long-forgotten hospital file. The contents reveal evidence of stolen DNA, a covert extraction linked to a nurse named Britt West, and a history he never knew existed. Jason now realizes there’s a son out there—one who hates him, one shaped by his silence.

The final twist? The WSB, having lost control of Vaughn, quietly deletes the file tracking him. “Shame,” one operative mutters. “That one had potential.”

But Vaughn’s not gone forever. Jason knows this. Jocelyn knows it too. One day, they’ll meet again—father and son, not as strangers, not as enemies, but as two men broken by the same machine, finally confronting the truth that could either destroy them or set them both free.
