Why not? Sending someone a jar of relish as a bizarre ploy to...do whatever, sounds like something that would tickle Franco. Perhaps he...I don't know. Tracy would have been pretty much out of the loop without that relish, so maybe Franco wanted to give it to her to further the war between her and AJ. Since him being in the middle of their conflict seems to be such a big part of his plan, it's not out of the question that he gave her the relish.

Not to mention, if Franco really did write that will then anything on it would have come from him. I guess it's possible that he got a copy of the original will, saw that Tracy's father gave her the relish, and just kept it in, just because, but Franco strikes me as the kind of person who needs complete control of a situation, so I still think the relish was his.

It was revealed that he tainted the relish to lower stock prices so he could be CEO of ELQ, but it's still not clear why Franco, of all people, should even want that. Tying that into the Luke storyline, it gets really interesting.
I'm wondering if part of his reasons for (if he wrote the will) giving the great grandchildren, and therefor Kiki, shares in the company, was to precipitate this whole search for her that would eventually lead back to her mother. He is obviously an evil genius, so it would stand to reason that he would have a good handle on her character, and would know that she might try to manipulate Kiki for her own gain. Which would then drive a wedge between Kiki and her mother, leaving her more vulnerable to a long lost father figure.

If you watched today, though, just as interesting: Shawn wasn't the one who shot Olivia. The bullet casing from his weapon? Not the one that matches the shell found in her body. Someone else was, conveniently, trying to shoot Franco. Was it Eva? Sonny's back-up plan that he didn't tell Carly? Was it Sam, Spinelli, Michael, or any number of people? Or, was it Jason back from the "dead?"
I know right! Epic. I really have no idea who it might be. If it was Jason, then why has he been staying away? If he is free to go around assassinating then I imagine that he isn't captive. So, since his disappearance was tied to Faison, and by associaton Jerry Jacks, then it stands to reason that if he's pursuing Franco, then Franco is somehow involved with Jacks. This is all just idle speculation of course, since I have almost no clue who might have done this. It couldn't have been Franco staging a hit on himself right? How could he have known that Olivia would jump in front of him? That wouldn't make any sense. I think.

Hell, even Silas. Even though they dismissed his "vampire" storyline with Rafe being all, "I dunno - he muttered something about not being a vampire..." was Silas to blame? They've encountered each other. Maybe (and this is a stretch) Silas made Franco a vampire while Franco was dying, and that accounts for his absence.

Port Charles is a sketchy place.
I don't know. I don't think that they're going to be connected, at least for the time being. I think that may have just been a meeting of the evil minds to sort of just make them both seem more menacing by association.
