General Hospital spoilers reveal a pulse-pounding chain of events that turns paradise into a war zone as secrets buried deep within the WSB resurface — and Britt Westbourne becomes the key to a deadly conspiracy.

At the serene Five Poppies Resort, Jocelyn Jacks and her WSB partner Vaughn (posing as Mr. and Mrs. Callahan) check in under false pretenses. The tropical escape is nothing more than a facade for a covert surveillance mission ordered by Jack Brennan himself. Their true target? Britt Westbourne, who recently re-emerged on the WSB’s radar after a long disappearance — and who may hold the key to finding the elusive and dangerous Professor Henry Dalton.

Despite Brennan’s strict order: “Observe, track, do not engage,” Jocelyn and Vaughn know there’s more at stake. Britt’s ties to Dalton make her a liability — or an asset — depending on what she does next.

Unbeknownst to Britt, who checks in under the alias Isabel Renault, she’s being monitored 24/7 via security feeds and in-person cover surveillance. But this isn’t just any operation — Brennan had previously informed Anna Devane, still being held under WSB watch, that Britt is no ordinary person of interest. She had once been scouted for a black market biotech division tied to Dalton. Her reappearance sets off alarm bells.

Britt, trying to stay low-profile, leaves her room to head toward the spa. But on the way, she spots two very familiar figures: Jocelyn and her “husband.” Something about their body language, their smiles, and a name — Vaughn — makes her stop in her tracks. Jocelyn isn’t married. Britt knows this. The lie exposes the entire setup.

Then everything explodes. A gunshot pierces the calm. Glass shatters. Jocelyn collapses, shot in the side. Vaughn drags her to safety, shouting “Sniper!” Meanwhile, Britt is frozen — and then it happens: she screams, “Nathan, don’t!” The name is a shockwave. Vaughn turns to her, confused. “Who the hell is Nathan?”

Before any explanation, Britt vanishes.

Jason Morgan arrives moments later, securing Jocelyn and assessing the scene. She’s alive — wounded, but stable. Jason presses Vaughn for details. Only one stands out: Nathan. Britt screamed his name before disappearing.

Jason is rattled. Nathan West — Britt’s presumed-dead brother — hasn’t been mentioned in years. Could it be that he’s not only alive but the sniper who just fired the shot? Not to harm Jocelyn, but to create enough chaos for Britt to escape?

Back in the command room, Vaughn contacts Brennan with the chilling report. Brennan is stone-faced. “That’s not possible,” he says. But the reality is clear — Britt recognized her brother. And if Nathan is alive, everything changes.

Anna Devane watches live security footage with a critical eye. She sees Jason pick up a bracelet — Britt’s — along a trail behind the resort. Her suspicions deepen. If Nathan’s alive and hiding, someone powerful inside the WSB has been keeping it quiet. That kind of cover-up demands elite resources — and dark intentions. Her worst fear resurfaces: the codename Helix.

Jason traces Britt’s path into a restricted area. A blood trail. A torn dress. And then, footsteps. Suddenly, Britt appears — out of breath, terrified, but alive. Jason corners her.

“You screamed Nathan’s name. Who pulled the trigger?”

She hesitates — but then, the truth.

“It was him. Nathan. He’s alive.” 

She explains everything: Nathan rescued her three years ago. She’d been flagged by someone inside the WSB for elimination. He saved her, faked her death, and went underground. He warned her of someone working within the agency — someone pulling strings far above Brennan. Someone called Helix.

Jason is stunned. Britt says she didn’t tell anyone because she didn’t know who to trust. But now that shots have been fired, there’s no more time for silence.

Meanwhile, back at the medical unit, Carly arrives — a storm of emotion. Jocelyn, sedated but alive, insists she made her own choice to be part of this mission. Carly isn’t satisfied. She tells her daughter: “When this is over, you come home. For good.”

That night, Jason and Britt return to the suite. Vaughn shows them compromised footage of a man entering a tunnel moments before the shooting. While the facial recognition fails, the tampered surveillance is confirmation enough: Nathan was there.

Anna, now more convinced than ever, secretly sends Jason a list of ghost agents — operatives believed dead or off the grid. One name leaps off the list: a vanished WSB director known only as Helix. Britt’s blood runs cold. Nathan used that name once. Said Helix was the threat behind everything.

Jason realizes this isn’t just about Dalton anymore. Helix is real — and someone is covering up his operations at the highest levels.

Later, guided by one of Nathan’s past clues, Jason and Britt hike to a remote cliff trail. There, they discover a motion sensor — custom built, not agency-issued. Then, from the shadows, he steps out.

Nathan.

Older. Hardened. But undeniably him.

Jason raises his weapon. “You shot Jocelyn.”

Nathan calmly replies, “I aimed for the tree. I had to create a diversion. I knew Jason would come.”

Nathan confesses everything: Helix was a top WSB director who went rogue, forming a splinter biotech group under the agency’s nose. Nathan faked his death to infiltrate them. He saved Britt when she became a liability to Dalton’s early experiments. Now, Helix is preparing something even more dangerous — a population-level test starting in Port Charles.

The threat is real. The race is on.

Back at the resort, Jocelyn sleeps — unaware of the revelations and the mission taking shape. At sunrise, Jason, Britt, Nathan, and Vaughn board a covert WSB chopper bound for Blackstone — the rumored Helix base, disguised beneath a decommissioned naval station.

There’s no turning back.

Anna, still at WSB headquarters, receives one final encrypted message:

“Engaged.”

She closes her laptop, holsters her weapon, and says the name now echoing across the agency:

“Helix.”

The real war is just beginning.
