To secure his demands, Drew delivers an ultimatum to Sonny Corinthos, making it clear that if he does not cooperate, Michael could face prison time.

This confrontation becomes even more precarious with ADA Justine Turner secretly present, witnessing Drew’s tactics.

Stella faces an insurance fraud investigation

At the hospital, Stella Henry lands in serious trouble when two officials from the Financial Services fraud division confront her. Their questions focus on possible insurance fraud and her involvement in securing unauthorized care for Martin Grey.

While Stella initially believed her actions were harmless, the investigators make it clear she may be in hot water. The pressure builds as Curtis Ashford warns Portia Robinson about Stella’s predicament. Since Drew was behind sparking this investigation, Stella’s choices are now under scrutiny, leaving her vulnerable both professionally and personally as the inquiry intensifies.

Britt’s urgent plea to Jason

Meanwhile, overseas at the Five Poppies resort, Britt Westbourne delivers a shocking warning to Jason Morgan. Appearing frantic, she urges Jason to come with her immediately, hinting at imminent danger. Her plea adds urgency to their interaction, suggesting that Jason’s safety could be at risk if he stays put.

The tense moment also reopens questions about Britt’s faked death and her time away from Port Charles. Jason’s reaction will determine whether Britt earns a chance at redemption or remains under suspicion.

Brook Lynn is confronted regarding Lois

Back in Port Charles, Brook Lynn Quartermaine finds herself called out over her treatment of her mother, Lois Cerullo.
