The Jackal meets "Vixenella"

It was an excellent JaSpin day, with the added bonus of Spinelli's first encounter with "Vixenella," aka Claudia Zacchara. There has been speculation that Claudia might be Spinelli's mother, but their interactions today were rather....less-than-familial, if you get what I'm saying!

Jason returned to the penthouse and talked to Spinelli about Monica confessing to hitting Sam. There was some uber bonding going on as Jason expressed his concern for the well-being of those around him, despite his best efforts to keep everyone safe. Jason admitted to Spinelli that much of what has happened to his loved ones is his fault and it's time he did something about it. I love that Spinelli opens a window into Jason that we don't see with other characters. With Sonny, Jason is mostly guarded and serious; with Elizabeth, Jason is lovey-dovey and all about Jake; with Carly, Jason is stoic and understanding; but with Spinelli, we get to see the real Jason and understand what's going on in his head. They've come a very long way in the last year!

Claudia showed up and immediately took a liking to Spinelli and his language. She played with him for a bit and it was very much a cat-and-mouse type of game, up until Jason asked Spinelli to take off. Jason asked Claudia to leave Spinelli alone, but I have a feeling she's not going to listen!

Their first meeting was at Jakes a few weeks ago. It was a brief meeting. Jason was also there. I love Claudia/Spinelli scenes and I would love for her to be his mother. We for sure need more interaction between these two.
