As the week of May 5 to May 9, 2025, unfolds on General Hospital, the quiet tension in Port Charles

threatens to erupt into chaos. With Sonny Corinthos lying unconscious in a Los Angeles hospital bed after

a vicious attack, the power vacuum left in his absence begins to draw old enemies, reluctant allies, and dangerous opportunists into a dangerous game. This week, relationships are tested, alliances are shaken, and secrets inch ever closer to the surface.

Carly and Brennan’s Reluctant Alliance: The Calm Before the Storm

The city was barely awake when Carly Spencer arrived at the Metro Court’s private conference room. The early morning light streamed in through floor-to-ceiling windows, casting dramatic shadows that reflected the uncertainty looming over Port Charles. Sitting across from her was Jack Brennan, the former federal agent turned high-level security consultant, whose weariness could not mask the intensity in his eyes.

Their meeting was not casual—it was a strategic briefing. At the heart of their conversation: who orchestrated the brutal assault on Sonny Corinthos in Los Angeles? Found beaten and left for dead outside a late-night meeting, Sonny now lies in critical condition at Cedars-Sinai, and the clock is ticking.

Carly, visibly tense but determined, handed Brennan a USB drive. It contained recordings of Sonny’s calls on the night of the attack—some encrypted, some chillingly clear. A codename—“The Falcon”—kept surfacing. Carly pressed Jack to use his Bureau contacts to unravel the mystery, knowing full well that trust between them was fragile. Brennan, a man walking the line between duty and vendetta, agreed—but only if Carly promised to back him if they got a break in the case. After a brief pause, she gave her word, knowing the road ahead could fracture everything.

Jason Morgan: Suspicion and Sacrifice

Elsewhere in Port Charles, Jason Morgan stared out over the city from his penthouse loft, his expression cold, calculating. The soft hum of early morning traffic below was nothing compared to the internal storm raging within him. News of Carly and Brennan’s alliance reached him before sunrise—and it reopened wounds that had never fully healed.

Jason’s history with Brennan was marred by mistrust. Despite brief moments of cooperation, betrayal had defined their dynamic. Now, watching Carly align with someone he could never fully trust, Jason was forced to choose between guarding his own resentments or stepping into the fray to protect those he loves.

As he sipped his black coffee, bitter and scorching, Jason’s decision crystallized: he would investigate the attack himself. If “The Falcon” was involved, it meant a deeper conspiracy—one that could shatter not just Sonny’s empire, but the fragile peace Port Charles clung to.

Nina Reeves: Secrets Behind the Glass

Unbeknownst to Carly and Brennan, their private conversation wasn’t so private. Hidden in the shadows of a frosted glass partition, Nina Reeves watched, her expression unreadable. The fallout from her disastrous scheme to manipulate Drew Cain had not yet settled. Though Drew had been exonerated, Nina’s role in the debacle had become public knowledge—and with that, her reputation began to crumble.

But Nina was nothing if not strategic. Sonny’s hospitalization and the chaos that followed presented her with a dangerous opportunity. As she slipped away silently, eyeliner sharp and intentions sharper, her mind whirled with possibilities. Who would benefit from Sonny’s fall? Who could be blamed? And most of all—how could she position herself to survive, or even thrive, amid the uncertainty?

Rocco Falconeri: A Child’s Truth in a Dangerous World

Across town at the police precinct, young Rocco Falconeri sat nervously on a metal chair, legs swinging, eyes darting. At just ten years old, he had already learned two hard truths: adults don’t always tell the whole story—and the police always want answers. His father, Dante Falconeri, now a respected detective, was trying to shield him from the darker corners of their world. But secrets have a way of leaking through cracks.

Rocco had seen something—heard something—that might hold a key to the attack on Sonny. But would he speak up? Or would fear keep him silent? His decision could ripple across families and investigations alike, especially with tensions mounting between law enforcement and those loyal to Sonny.

The Bigger Picture: Who is “The Falcon”?

The mysterious figure referred to only as “The Falcon” dominates the week’s storyline. Described in brief surveillance footage as wearing black gloves and moving with military precision, this phantom antagonist seems to have access to intimate knowledge of Sonny’s schedule, patterns, and weaknesses.

Jack Brennan suspects this is more than a personal vendetta—it’s a hit ordered by a rival syndicate or, worse, someone close to home. As he works with Carly to decode the phone logs, he starts to uncover a pattern pointing to an insider betrayal. If true, this would shatter Sonny’s circle from within, leaving Port Charles vulnerable to a hostile takeover.

The Fallout Begins

With Jason digging for answers on his own, Carly torn between loyalty and risk, and Nina quietly plotting behind the scenes, Port Charles is a pressure cooker ready to explode. Long-simmering grudges and fragile alliances threaten to unravel. And with Sonny incapacitated, everyone from mobsters to politicians is eyeing the throne.

By the end of the week, a shocking revelation will come to light—one that draws a direct line between Sonny’s mysterious attacker and a high-ranking figure in Port Charles. But with the clock ticking, and the threat of a second strike looming, who can the citizens of Port Charles trust?
