Ava's ultimate General Hospital revenge: A plot against Sonny and Kristina

General Hospital's Ava has just about had it with Kristina and her constant insistence that Ava pushed her out a window last summer, resulting in the death of the baby she was carrying for Molly and TJ. It doesn't matter to Kristina that a jury found the fall to be an accident. Instead, Kristina did her most diabolical deed yet.

Kristina's General Hospital breakdown

Convinced that Ava (Maura West) is the symbol of all evil in Port Charles and needed to be stopped before she destroyed her entire family, Kristina (Kate Mansi) impulsively cut the brakes on what she thought was Ava's car. She barely felt any remorse when she realized she messed with Ric's (Rick Hearst) car instead, leaving Ric fighting for his life at General Hospital. She was only shocked and somewhat disappointed that it wasn't Ava.

Ava was worried sick about Ric when she got the news, but it didn't occur to her that there could have been an issue with Ric's car. However, his passenger knows. Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) will surely tell someone that Ric tried hitting the brakes, but they wouldn't work. That could lead the police to check Ric's car and find that the brake lines were intentionally cut.

Ava's big move

Ava knew that Kristina was in a bad state and that Ric was parked in her spot. She'd even made a point of chastising him for making her park on the street. Ava might figure out what happened before the police do, leading her to use the information to her advantage.

Ava needs money and a lot of it. Sonny (Maurice Benard) would only give it to her in exchange for giving up custody time with Avery (Ava and Grace Scarola). When Ava realized that Sonny was sick, she got the idea in her head to go for full custody. What if she decides to blackmail Sonny with the knowledge that his daughter tried to kill her to get everything she wants out of Kristina's dad?

She could solve her financial problems and have Avery with her as much as she wants. Ava would take glory in lording over both Sonny and Kristina. Would Sonny give in to save his precious Kristina? And, can we blame Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) for this since we now know he is the one who made sure that Ava was broke to begin with?
