In other words, Cody sort of admitted to committing a crime  of possession.


About a week ago, the actor who plays him went off contract.

Cody may need to disappear for a little bit before his dad gets
embarrassed.

Thanks for checking into this. I was not even thinking about the illegal
possession aspect. People commonly administer vet prescribed drugs to
their pets and livestock, but I forgot that ketamine is a restricted drug.
In Port Charles, characters constantly do unwise and illegal things for
friends and family, just recently embezzlement and perjury. I believe we
viewers are meant to see this as noble sacrifice. No doubt the local
vets would supply Cody. He said he had a legitimate receipt.

I just noticed during his recent visit to the art gallery, Cody has a
lovely manicure.  Strange for someone who works with horses.

Good points, all! And I can count at least two additional problems with
Cody's claim. One is that the ketamine found in Tracy's car is
traceable. Don't know where Drew got the vial he planted in Tracy's car,
but it would have lot and serial numbers on the label. The vial is still
presumably in police custody, so to verify Cody's claim, it would just
be a matter of tracking down those numbers to their source, something
that should have been done immediately, not only to confirm that the
substance was in fact ketamine, but also to determine its concentration.
If the vial wasn't sold to the Qs' vet, then Cody would have some more
'splainin to do. Of course the ketamine's label could have been removed
prior to Drew planting it in Tracy's car, but that was never mentioned,
nor was there mention of the police or the DA ordering an analysis of
the contents of the vial.

Two, the potency of a drug prescribed for a horse would be (presumably)
greater than that prescribed for a human, so both medical doctor and
veterinarian would be able to tell by looking at the strength of
concentration info on the vial's label whether the contents had been
created for human or for veterinary use. Also, if the ketamine had been
prescribed for the Qs' horse and if the label had been intact, it would
have included the words "veterinary use only," as required by law.

All that said, so far I've seen only the first two episodes from last
week. Maybe Cody's and Tracy's little scheme has since fallen apart, or
will soon. The DA could still decide to prosecute, and in the process of
checking out Cody's claim that he borrowed Tracy's car, subpoena
recordings from the same security cam in the Qs' garage and driveway
that created so much trouble for Kristina several months ago. For that
matter, you'd think that a security cam would have recorded Drew putting
the ketamine in Tracy's car.... <shrug>

There seem to be a lot of lapses and problems with security services at the
Q estate these days,right?

Well put. I was not considering any of these details. I imagine we
viewers are not meant to think about such things, which I was not. The
only way this plot makes sense is if the label were removed or
mutilated, and it's true that no mention was made of an analysis of the
vial contents.

It's not just the Quartermaine estate. It's been true forever that no
security measures, human or electronic, have ever kept anyone out of
anywhere when the plot calls for a character to get inside some
location. I always recall Manny Ruiz stalking Sam McCall in the shower
inside Jason's highly secure penthouse. No explanation was ever given
for how he managed that magic trick, and that's typical.
That's a separate issue from how selectively surveillance seems to
function at the Quartermaines. I had forgotten about the security
cameras picking up Kristina at the Quartermaine Estate around the time
Agent Cates was killed. Funny how no one has checked the video to see
who had been in the garage and had accessed Tracy's car. And funny how
the Quartermaines apparently leave their cars unlocked in an unlocked
garage.
