ABC's 'General Hospital' is making matters more intense, and as we said, the showrunners are planning to bring the 'Esme Prince' (Kristen Avery Pohl) storyline to an end and the suspense could not get any better than this. Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) has taken the fall for Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) while taking the stand. He confesses that the day the video was released, Trina was with him.

Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Haper), Trina, Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma), Spencer, and Ava Jerome Cassadine (Maura West) all play a part in this evolving storyline. This has created enough anxiety already. Previously, the viewers were shocked by  the news of Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) suffering from leukemia. Now, this episode comes in with a different sort of kicker as Ava finally pushes Esme into a corner and leaves her helpless, or does she? Let's dive into 'General Hospital' Season 59, Episode 218. Spoilers ahead, of course.

Will Ava overpower Esme?

On one hand, things get tougher for Trina as she takes the stand to defend herself even though she is innocent. The big bad girl behind all this is still on fleek. As we all saw earlier, Ava Jerome Cassadine (Maura West) arrives at the castle and is not ready to let Esme escape out of Port Charles so easily. Ava now has Esme Prince (Kristen Avery Pohl) backed into a corner where she demands Esme to spill the beans and come clean or she'd find herself at the "end of the line." In a promotional clip shared by General Hospital's official Twitter account, Ava tells Esme to "Tell the truth or it's the end of the line. You decide."

The first episode of the week perfectly set up the tone for the entire week. Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) approached Michael Cassadine (Chad Duell) as he made a mysterious call, but it is not confirmed whether she became privy to some sensitive information or not as of now. However, things got serious and gloomy on the side where Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) lives. TJ Ashford (Tajh Bellows), who had been pushing Willow to get the tests done, finally agreed.
