Although the head of Pikeman, Valentin (James Patrick Stuart), is out of the picture on General Hospital, Sonny (Maurice Benard) is still in grave danger. Not only is John Cates (Adam J. Harrington) likely to turn his attention to the kingpin with Valentin gone, hoping to build an FBI case against Sonny that finally lands him behind bars, but Sonny is also dealing with a mental health struggle and he doesn’t even know it.
As viewers have seen, first Valentin tampered with Sonny’s dosage of bipolar medication in an effort to get Sonny to unravel so Pikeman could swoop in and take over Corinthos' territory. Now Ava (Maura West) has had his medication completely replaced with placebos, hoping Sonny goes off the deep end before their custody hearing and she gets awarded full custody of Avery (Ava & Grace Scarola).
