We're probably not supposed to consider all these complications.
I agree, there was no valid reason for Chase to arrest Tracy on camera,
nor for Chase to be the arresting officer at all. The predictably
obstinate refusal on Tracy's part to step aside when Chase requested it
is no reason not to wait one minute for her to be off camera. And it
does seem like Chase and Dante represent the entire PCPD in almost every
situation.
Handcuffing did seem unnecessary there. She is elderly and was
completely compliant.
Ned and Tracy's relationship is so complicated, I was not surprised that
he did not rush to help her. It's likely she would not rush to help him
were the situation reversed.
I believe it was mentioned who summoned Jason. It's likely that's who
called Diane.
No one in Port Charles ever seems to have any difficulty obtaining
whatever drug (commonplace, exotic or completely fictional) the plot
calls for. I hope it's not so easy in real life. I was wondering if the
Quartermaines just leave their vehicles accessible and unlocked. I'd
expect a wealthy family like them to have the cars locked with an active
alarm system inside a locked garage when not in use.
