This week on General Hospital, the stakes are higher than ever as Sonny Corinthos spirals into a dangerous emotional state following

a horrific penthouse explosion that puts his son Michael’s life in grave danger. Furious and devastated,

Sonny’s anger turns toward Drew Cain, whom he holds responsible for Michael’s suffering. Sonny believes Drew’s reckless actions,

including his involvement with Willow, have destabilized the Corinthos family and directly contributed to the tragedy. The simmering tension between them escalates as Sonny struggles to cope with the devastation.

Meanwhile, Drew and Willow form a surprising alliance in the wake of their shared emotional burdens. Willow, feeling judged and alienated by Sonny and Carly, finds solace in Drew’s understanding and support. Drew, who is branded a traitor by the Corinthos family, begins to rely on Willow more and more, which only intensifies Sonny’s anger and adds fuel to the already strained family dynamics. Carly’s discomfort with Willow’s growing closeness to Drew causes further friction, leaving the Corinthos family in turmoil.

Amidst these familial conflicts, Sonny begins to reflect on his life in the criminal underworld. The explosion and its devastating aftermath make him question whether continuing in this dangerous world is worth it. After discussions with Jason and Dante about finding a successor, and facing growing concern from his daughter Kristina, Sonny seriously considers retirement. However, this decision doesn’t come easy and sparks fierce debates over who will inherit his empire. Figures like Jason Morgan, Ava Jerome, and rivals Sidwell and Brennan all have their own agendas, while Carly fears the power vacuum Sonny’s exit could create, threatening everything they’ve built.

Sonny’s retirement is anything but straightforward, as old grudges, secrets, and unresolved conflicts loom over his decision. What was meant to be a path to peace quickly becomes a perilous final battle—one that will not only test Sonny but could reshape the future of Port Charles itself. Before stepping down, Sonny feels compelled to carry out one last mission. Consumed by his anger and grief over Michael’s condition, he decides Drew must pay for the role he believes he played in the tragedy. Sonny enlists Jason to eliminate Drew, a move that Sonny views as both retribution and a warning to anyone who threatens the Corinthos family.

However, Jason finds himself torn. Though fiercely loyal to Sonny, Jason cannot ignore the deep moral conflict. Drew is the father of his daughter, Scout, and Jason struggles with the idea of taking Drew’s life, torn between his loyalty to Sonny and his own personal ethics. Unbeknownst to Drew, Sonny’s plan is set in motion, but Drew remains focused on his own challenges, including supporting Willow in her custody battle, unaware of the deadly threat that looms over him.

As Sonny prepares for this final mission, tensions within the Corinthos family rise, and the impending power struggles threaten to change everything. Jason, increasingly caught between his loyalty to Sonny and his growing discomfort with the violent world he inhabits, finds himself at a crossroads. At the same time, Drew’s life is in jeopardy from not just Sonny but a new enemy in Cyrus Renault. Cyrus, ever the calculating mastermind, has his own plans for revenge, setting Drew in his sights as part of a larger scheme.

As these multiple storylines collide, Port Charles becomes a ticking time bomb. With Sonny contemplating his retirement, Jason facing difficult choices, and Drew unaware of the imminent danger, the future of the Corinthos family and Port Charles itself hangs in the balance.
