**Ava Blames: Accusing John of Killing Clement & Switching Sonny’s Drugs! General Hospital Spoilers**
In “General Hospital,” the tensions are rising as Ava Jerome concocts a new plan to secure her future and take down Sonny Corinthos once and for all. Ava’s primary goal remains the same: to gain custody of her daughter, Avery Corinthos. However, Ava’s history of betrayal and manipulation casts doubt on her trustworthiness, and John Kates may find himself ensnared in her web of deceit.

Ava has never hesitated to make ruthless decisions, even at the expense of those closest to her. Her betrayal of her best friend, Nina Reeves, for the sake of staying close to Sonny, is a prime example. The consequences of Ava’s actions have been severe—Sonny forced her out of his life, leaving Ava isolated and vulnerable. She lost Nina’s trust, Sonny’s protection, and her bond with Avery, driving her to the brink of despair.
Desperate for a way out, Ava sees John as her last hope. With the legal expertise of Scott Baldwin, Ava manages to secure a temporary release, but this is only the first step in her larger scheme. Ava’s ultimate goal is to clear her name and regain control, using John as a pawn in her plan. She intends to manipulate him into helping her erase all traces of her connection to the attack on Christina Corinthos Davis, which tragically resulted in the death of Christina’s unborn child.
However, another threat looms on the horizon—Ava’s secret tampering with Sonny’s bipolar medication. She had switched his medication with a placebo, and now the consequences of this dangerous act are about to surface. Ava knows that her survival depends on keeping this secret buried, and her solution is to eliminate Clement, the pharmacist who could expose her.
As Jason Morgan and Anna Devane begin investigating the case, Ava’s cunning mind goes into overdrive. She plans to deflect their suspicions by making Clement’s disappearance look like someone else’s desperate act. If Jason and Anna dig too deep, Ava is prepared to shift the blame onto John, portraying him as the mastermind behind the entire scheme.
But Ava’s meticulously crafted plan overlooks one crucial detail—the fragility of her alliance with John. As the pressure mounts and Ava attempts to pin everything on him, John’s frustration turns to rage. With no evidence to defend himself and the walls closing in, John becomes the prime suspect in the case. Ava’s manipulations, while clever, ultimately set the stage for John’s downfall, leaving him to face the consequences of a conspiracy that was never truly his own.
