Jake's Condition Becomes More Critical

What isn't a secret from anyone is that he will do whatever it takes to make sure he does have his daughter back, and that he successfully takes her from her mobster mother and his sworn enemy. But as he continues to allude at having a plan without giving details, others in his family, like Michael (Chad Duell) will start to become suspicious.

"How are you going to get Avery back?" He asks his father in a preview clip for the Wednesday, February 17 episode.

However, in his need to keep his children out of the fold and out of his business, Sonny won't confide anything in Michael, though he is getting closer to potentially making his big move.

Not only is Sonny much more recovered from his gunshot wound than he has let on, but he is also fully aware of what Ava has been involved with--and just how dangerous it is for their daughter to be with her as a result. If he can find a way to prove that she is smuggling guns into Port Charles, and then decides to reveal he's much stronger than believed, he could successfully go through with the plan to be the parent Avery actually knows.

General Hospital airs Monday-Friday at 3 p.m. on ABC.
