Outback ruins Quartermaine’s Thanksgiving feast with a truth for Chase General Hospital Spoilers

🦃 The Quartermaine Turkey Curse: From Disaster to Detective Work 🕵️‍♀️

Thanksgiving at the Quartermaine mansion is an annual theatrical disaster, and this year, it started with the glorious failure of Chase’s idealism. Armed with an online recipe and a defiant sense of optimism, Chase attempted to break the three-decade-old Quartermaine Turkey Curse—a law of nature that turns good intentions into comedic tragedy.

The Triumph and the Turkey Thief

Despite Brook Lynn’s desperate warnings detailing a litany of past turkey catastrophes (from exploding birds to accidental donation), Chase proceeded with surgical precision, determined to deliver a flawlessly golden-brown turkey. For a few glorious moments, they believed they had won; the perfect turkey sat enshrined on the dining table.

This was their fatal mistake: they left the room to fetch the mashed potatoes.

Enter Outback, the Turkey Thief, a small dog with the heart of a raccoon and impeccable timing. . Driven by the heavenly aroma, Outback leapt onto the table with acrobatic grace, claimed the entire 14-pound masterpiece, and dragged it to the floor.

The ensuing silence, broken only by Outback’s triumphant bark, was hilariously inevitable. The curse had won again. The family, resigned but warm, embraced the disaster and upheld their most sacred tradition: ordering a large, cheesy, greasy Thanksgiving pizza. For Chase and Brook Lynn, the chaos solidified their bond, forging a deeper partnership built on shared absurdity.

💉 The Darker Secret: Ned’s Poisoning Uncovered

Just as their relationship settled, the mansion delivered a far more sinister twist. Outback, the furry menace and unexpected guardian, was pawing insistently at a rarely used cabinet near the study.

Chase and Brook Lynn, expecting a leftover bone, instead found something that instantly chilled them: a small, half-full glass vial hidden behind folders.

The Vial: They recognized the label. It was the same brand of medication Ned had been taking before his sudden, supposed stress-related collapse months earlier.

The Content: The chemical name across the lid was toxic and not prescribed to Ned.

The terrifying realization struck them both: Ned had not suffered an accident—he had been poisoned.

Outback, who sensed the poison’s scent and the tension, wasn’t merely causing chaos; she was actively guiding them to the truth. The Thanksgiving misadventure had spiraled into a calculated, premeditated attack meant to silence Ned when he knew too much.

🚨 The Interconnected Crimes: Sidwell’s Shadow

Chase, the detective, connected the dots with frightening speed. This wasn’t just a poisoning; it was connected to the shooting of Drew.

Two Victims, Two Warnings: Both Ned and Drew had been digging into secrets and were attacked with calculated, professional precision, suggesting an operation, not a crime of passion.

Targeting the Power Structure: The criminal wasn’t targeting individuals; they were targeting the Quartermaine power structure to seize control.

As Chase reviewed the old reports and forensic data, patterns emerged, leading to one inescapable, chilling name: Sidwell. The mysterious figure tied to black market shipments and illegal research, a mastermind who had poisoned Ned and shot Drew, manipulating the system from the inside.

Outback, now the ultimate witness, led Chase to one final clue: a faint scrape on the staircase banister. Someone had recently passed through the mansion in secret—someone the dog recognized, someone who didn’t belong.

Chase and Brook Lynn are now partners not just in love, but in truth and survival. They possess information someone in the house wants buried—someone who is still present and still actively dangerous. The investigation into Sidwell, the poisoning, and the shooting is a mission that threatens to consume Chase, but one he knows is essential to protect his family.
