Remember when I was all about Jason getting a spinoff show where he drives all the teens/early 20’s characters around in the Expedition of Vigilante Justice solving crimes like the shortlived Mr. T cartoon? Well, I would consider this whole adventure with Spinelli to save Lulu as the Pilot. Good God. Is there nothing Jason can’t do? What I want to know is why Jason doesn’t try to leverage all of his good deeds when he is inevitably put on trial for murder again. Diane can be like “sure he killed Anthony Zacchara, but he also a) saved the hostages in the Metro Court, b) saved the citizens of Port Charles during the monkey virus epidemic, c) saved Liz’s life multiple times, d) found Baby Jake, e) saved Lulu, f) saved my friends and I from a cruise ship disaster (this was a a dream) and g) attempts to keep Carly on a tight reign”. Say what you will, but Jason has the patience of a saint, which coincidentally is because Jason is, in fact, a Saint.
When is Amelia going to wise up, cut her losses with Sam, and hire Jason as the new host of Everyday Heroes? I imagine she’s made a list similar to this one:
Pro: Would cut down on wardrobe budget since Jason only wears monochromatic tees and tight jeans.
Con: Hair budget would increase exponentially to tame that mop Jason calls hair.
Pro: Jason isn’t an ex-con woman who married men for money and killed Amelia’s father.
Con: Jason is a current Mafia hitman and kills people quarterly.
Pro: Everyone loves Jason.
Con: Everyone hates Sam (except for Alexis, Lucky, Maxie, and Nik, 3/4 of the time)
Pro: Children love Jason.
Con: When Sam is not shooting someone in self defense in front of a child, she is watching another child get kidnapped.
Pro: In hiring Jason, Everyday Heroes can gain a valuable sponsorship deal with Sonny’s Coffee.
Con: In firing Sam, Everyday Heroes will lose the patronage of Maxim, Stuff, and FHM.
If I were Amelia, the decision would be a no-brainer, but the real Amelia is clearly smarter than me since she’s decided to work with this guy instead.
