This Is How General Hospital’s Kristina Joins the Mafia

Things have finally come to a head General Hospital while Sonny killed Agent Cates for using his daughter Kristina to get to him. Despite the fact that Sonny is of sound mind, it seems that Jason and his men were not helping him as he prepared to dispose of Cates’ body. But help may come in a form he never expected.

Kristina is able to arrive at the last minute

Under the cover of a thunderstorm, Sonny (Maurice Benard) finally did the right thing when he shot Cates (Adam J. Harrington) and then double-tapped him to make sure he was well and truly dead. But from what we saw in the August 30 episode, he only called Diane and instructed her to stand by before confronting his nemesis at the Quartermaine estate. He didn’t appear to have a plan to dispose of the body and the evidence.

Around the same time, however, Kristina (Kate Mansi) left her mother’s house, grabbed a gun from Sonny’s house, and jumped in her car. Chances are she’s headed to the Q’s to finish off Cates herself, since the dastardly FBI agent tried to send her out to the river on false charges – via a coerced and false confession from Ava (Maura West) who claimed Kristina attacked her. But when she arrives, she might see Sonny standing in the rain over Cates’ body.

Cates’ death needs a cover-up

There has been speculation before that Kristina could ultimately be the one to take over Sonny’s organization. Although she was shocked to see him beat the snot out of Dex (Evan Hofer), she regained her composure and accepted her father for the mafioso that he is. She can help Sonny get rid of Cates’ body, although it would be a bad idea to just throw it in the koi pond, because it will be found, and Port Charles needs Sonny to continue protecting it.

With her help, they were able to transport the body to the Pine Barrens and bury it with all the other bad guys Sonny has defeated over the years. Seeing the two of them work together like this would make us happy and hopeful that she’ll be pushed deeper into the mob, even though Sonny never wanted his children to follow in his footsteps. We’re on the edge of our seats as this story unfolds, and it will be unique in the soap opera landscape to have a father-daughter mob team that fans will cheer for.
