One family's tragedy could become another's much-needed ray of hope on General Hospital-as the virtual death of a young teen could save the life of an older woman.

Rafe's Surgery Doesn't End Well?

Rafe (Jimmy Deshler) was declared brain dead after Patrick's surgery-and there's no hope the teen will ever come back to life following his nasty car accident. As Silas (Michael Easton) mourns the loss of his nephew, he will be asked if he wants to use his tragedy to help the Quartermaines-as their housekeeper, Alice (Bergen Williams) is set to die if she doesn't receive a new heart.

"Are you willing to donate your nephew's heart? Monica (Leslie Charleson) asks him in a preview clip for the Monday, July 14 episode.

Maxie Gets A Visit From Immigration

Silas could agree to help save Alice's life-though it would eliminate any slim chance there was of Rafe ever coming back.

One person who may have a hard time believing Rafe is dead though is Nina (Michelle Stafford), who is alone in his hospital room-and hallucinating that the one person who knows she's faking paralysis is actually still alive-and taunting her with his knowledge.

"Say something! Say something!" she screams to a very awake-looking Rafe in the clip.

While the family deals with their tragedy, Maxie (Kirsten Storms) will begin fighting to save her boyfriend, Levi (Zachary Garred) from deportation-especially since she believes Nathan (Ryan Paevy) might have had something to do with her receiving a visit from an I.C.E agent.

"Did you call immigration on Levi?" she asks Nathan.

If Nathan did indeed try to eliminate his competition for Maxie's heart by calling immigration, mostly everyone else will be glad if he is deported-as no one in Maxie's life likes him.

"Not a Levi fan?" Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) asks Maxie's father Mac (John J. York) in the clip.

"Is anyone?" Mac replies.

General Hospital airs Monday-Friday at 2 p.m. on ABC.
