It’s ridiculous. Even if I buy the conceit he isn’t acting to protect himself, Jason, and Laura from the dead professor being blamed on them (the cover up certainly should be), show that to us!
We had an opportunity to tie the body coverup to Jason’s disappearance. To tell a story within the larger plot about Laura’s history of witnessing/experiencing trauma and disassociating. A story within the story about Sonny actually losing power and maybe even reflecting on knowing when to give it up, or is the power so important he is running the risk of becoming Frank Smith, Rivera, Joe Scully, etc. As in the old men he took power from on his way up that didn’t know it was their time to go and all got killed. But that would involve telling a story, with enough meat on it to cover several people in major ways. Sidwell doesn’t even turn the screws on Laura himself! He sends Ezra to do it.
My complaints remind the same as they have been for years with GH. Is it overall better than it was just before and after COVID? Yes. I don’t know how you bring back a fan favorite serial killer in Ryan Chamberlain and somehow make it boring, but GH did it! Right now the show is even entertaining and exciting sometimes! But the ingredients are there for it to be actually good, with just a few tweaks here and there and a little more detail in the writing.
