Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) could soon be eating the last meal he will ever taste on General Hospital-but the ELQ head has no idea what fate is about to hand him.

Luke Tells Julian About The Plans He Has For Sonny and Michael

Luke (Anthony Geary) ordered Ava (Maura West) to kill Michael, despite his being her daughter Kiki's (Kristen Aldersen) boyfriend, so he and Tracy (Jane Elliot) could regain control of ELQ. After her assurances that she wasn't squeamish about killing, Ava now is required to go through with the task-and poisoned some chocolate mousse with a completely undetectable substance-which she is planning on serving to Michael at a dinner with him and Kiki.

And though she still has reservations, she knows what she needs to do in order to keep Luke from coming after her-and will encourage Michael to eat the sinful dessert.

Ava Makes A Deal With Luke

"What are you waiting for? Dig in," she says in a preview clip for the Tuesday, August 26 episode.

Though she plans to go through with the plot, Ava did previously enlist Julian (Michael DeVry) to try and find some way to get around it, before realizing she couldn't. However, her getting him involved could be a blessing in disguise for her-as Julian will make an unexpected move and potentially tell Sonny (Maurice Bernard) what had been ordered-which would cause the rival mobster to make sure his son remained safe.

"I want to do you a favor," Julian tells Sonny in the preview clip.

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