Explosive secrets, shifting alliances, and a chilling manhunt—next week in Port Charles, the truth behind Sonny’s ambush could shatter everything. 🔥🕵️‍♂️

Tensions in Port Charles reach a boiling point next week as secrets unravel, alliances are tested, and the shadowy plot behind Sonny Corinthos’ brutal attack begins to emerge. The aftermath of the Los Angeles ambush leaves Sonny clinging to life in a hospital bed, while those closest to him scramble to uncover who ordered the hit—and why.

Early in the week, Carly Spencer meets covertly with Jack Brennan in a private Metro Court conference room just after dawn. As sunlight creeps through the towering windows, Carly doesn’t waste time. She knows their opportunity to catch Sonny’s shooter is slipping away. Despite their fraught history, Carly urges Jack to use his FBI connections to extract information from the tight-lipped LAPD. But there’s a catch—they’ll need to prove this was more than a random act of violence. Carly slides a USB drive across the table—Sonny’s call logs from the night of the shooting. Repeated mentions of a codename, “The Falcon,” suggest the ambush was highly coordinated.

Meanwhile, Jason Morgan wrestles with the news of Carly’s partnership with Brennan. The revelation reignites long-held resentments, given his complicated past with the agent. Alone in his loft, Jason contemplates his next move, uncertain if he can trust Brennan or even Carly’s judgment this time.

Elsewhere, Nina Reeves secretly observes Carly and Brennan’s meeting from behind tinted glass. Still reeling from the fallout of her failed scheme to frame Drew Cain, Nina realizes the chaos following Sonny’s attack could be the perfect storm for her own manipulations. Her mind races through possible ways to twist the situation in her favor, even as the walls around her begin to close in.

At the police precinct, young Rocco Falconeri finds himself in dangerous waters. After snooping through Lulu Spencer’s laptop, he stumbles on confidential files suggesting Dante has another child—possibly with Brook Lynn Quartermaine. Panicked and confused, Rocco shares the revelation with his friend Danny Morgan. The two boys decide to keep the secret for now, but their amateur sleuthing eventually lands them in hot water when they’re caught with stolen documents. Dante is furious—but torn. As both a detective and a father, he must decide whether to press for the truth or protect his son from the fallout.

Back at the Corinthos penthouse, Willow Corinthos tries to connect with Drew Cain. After being wrongfully accused in Nina’s vendetta, Drew is now deep into his own off-the-books investigation. When Willow insists on joining him, he cautiously agrees and brings her in on the case. Together, they pore over newly obtained surveillance stills that show a hooded figure lurking near Sonny’s car just before the shooting. The posture and gait are chillingly familiar. Could the shooter be someone they know—perhaps even Jack Brennan?

Over at Crimson, Nina doubles down on her covert tactics. She instructs one of her allies to distract Drew and dig into what he’s uncovered. As she prepares for war, her fingers linger over a hidden weapon in her desk drawer. She knows she’s losing control, and her next moves could make or break everything.

Meanwhile, Tracy Quartermaine is watching events unfold with calculated interest. From her ELQ office, she sips tea and reads an encrypted message from Drew requesting a discreet meeting. Tracy, ever the opportunist, considers how Sonny’s misfortune might be turned to her advantage. Could aligning with Drew serve both their agendas?

Later in the week, Drew and Willow meet at Kelly’s Diner, where Drew presents more photographic evidence from the alley behind the Chancellor’s. Willow, inspecting the image, suspects the shooter could be tall—possibly even Brennan. Though Drew is reluctant to believe Brennan could be involved, Willow suggests that being a law enforcement officer might make Brennan the perfect cover.

The mystery deepens as Dante receives word that Rocco and Danny have been caught in possession of restricted materials. When Dante confronts them, both boys stay tight-lipped. Rocco in particular struggles with whether to reveal what he discovered. Dante softens, trying to reach his son with compassion rather than anger. “Tell me the truth,” he pleads—but the boy remains hesitant.

Back at Crimson, Nina receives a stack of intel from her informant. She breathes a sigh of relief—nothing ties Drew’s probe back to her. But she knows it’s only a matter of time. In a calculated move, she orders a meeting with Portia Robinson. Whether Portia will become an ally or a scapegoat is still unclear.

Unbeknownst to Portia, her connections to Crimson have already raised red flags. Security footage shows her making repeated visits to the magazine’s headquarters, placing her squarely in Nina’s orbit. When Nina calls to arrange their meeting, Portia’s nerves spike—she knows this isn’t about charity galas, no matter what the invitation says.

As the week ends, Dante calls a family meeting at the Falconeri residence. Rocco and Danny sit side by side, guilt etched on their young faces. Lulu watches from the doorway, visibly shaken. Dante asks the boys what they were looking for in his files. As Rocco struggles to answer, a storm of secrets looms over the household.

With multiple investigations under way, shadowy alliances forming, and hidden truths threatening to explode, Port Charles will never be the same. Next week promises explosive confrontations, shocking revelations, and a manhunt that could destroy more than one legacy.

Stay tuned—everything is about to change.
