The Monday, August 18 episode of General Hospital is set to deliver high-stakes drama, with multiple characters caught in tense confrontations and dangerous decisions. Drew raises the intensity by using his recent clash with Michael as leverage, issuing an ultimatum that could drag Michael into prison unless Sonny agrees to his demands. The move forces Sonny into a difficult position, especially as Drew intertwines personal revenge with political power. Adding further complications, ADA Justine Turner is at Sonny’s house, meaning Drew’s threats could backfire if she learns the truth, given his history of scandals.
At the Five Poppies Resort, Britt becomes a driving force as she frantically urges Jason to leave with her immediately. Her urgency suggests she is ready to reveal answers about her faked death and her time in hiding. Jason’s decision to follow could finally pull back the curtain on Britt’s secrets. Meanwhile, Josslyn finds herself in the middle of chaos when she fires a gun to protect Vaughn. The fallout from her actions will reveal whether her shot saves him or escalates the danger.
Elsewhere, family and personal struggles surface across Port Charles. Brook Lynn is confronted over how she has been treating her mother, Lois, and receives advice that may push her to reassess their relationship. Curtis also raises alarms with Portia, warning that Stella may be facing trouble. Stella is cornered by hospital officials and questioned over possible insurance fraud, with the root of the investigation tracing back to Drew’s maneuvering.
Maxie is drawn deeper into turmoil as she presses Martin about Deception’s stance and weighs the risky choice of handing Sonny-related evidence to the police. Her storyline takes a darker twist when Jenz Sidwell makes an appearance tied to an apparent kidnapping scheme. The looming threat suggests Maxie could soon find herself in grave danger.
