But Sam is as sharp as ever, and she already suspects that Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) killed FBI Agent John ‘Jagger’ Cates (Adam Harrington).

When Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) told his dad Sam was barking up that tree, some nerves clearly set in for the mob boss. He doesn’t need Sam making smoke around him.

Sonny is confident that he can get Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) off the hook without implicating himself. There’s just one problem. At least two of the Davis girls won’t share his opinion. How is he going to deal with that?

General Hospital Spoilers — Sam Has a Hunch

Leave it to the resident private investigator to be bent on getting to the bottom of whodunnit. Sam isn’t interested in waiting for the police to figure it out.

She knows she can get an inside track on Sonny the night of Jagger’s murder, and in ways that bend the rules just enough — ways the PCPD just can’t.

While Michael tried his best to convince her the ideal approach was to focus on exonerating Kristina Corinthos Davis (Kate Mansi) and Alexis, versus focusing on who the real murderer is, he wasn’t successful. Sam knows Michael is hiding something and she’ll do whatever she has to just to get her mom out of jail.

GH Spoilers Leak Spinelli Won’t Be Able to Stem This Bleed

Sam might think she can rely on Damien Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) in this situation to help her out, but it’s going to be a tall order. Let’s not forget that Spinelli is a bit beholden to the crime lords in Port Charles.

Ever since they first embraced his skill set, he has loved being a part of that inner circle, as dangerous as it is — and as timid as he is. Spinelli is far more of a scaredy cat than Sam, and sometimes that hinders their ability to work together.

But this time around, loyalties will be tested when Sam asks Spinelli to help her clear her mom’s name even if it means ruining Sonny’s. We’re going to go out on a limb and say he won’t do it.

General Hospital Spoilers — Sonny Keeps Taking Matters Into His Own Hands

Some fans were surprised to see Sonny so boldly shoot Jagger in cold blood. Why didn’t he send one of his many henchmen to do it? Why risk being caught having killed a federal agent? It was personal.

He wanted to be the one to pull the trigger on this guy who came after him, as though he was the first. But with Sam, one might argue it would be even more personal.

He can’t very well ask Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) to kill his ex-wife, the mother of his child. Of course, Sam was also the mother of Sonny’s child, though baby Lila Morgan was born sleeping.

We already know Sam is getting killed off this fall. But will her blood be on Sonny’s hands as he sets out to keep himself safe from going down for Jagger’s murder? Stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers to find out.
