GENERAL HOSPITAL

Monday

At Kelly's, Lucky assured Elizabeth that he's glad they're still in
each other's lives. Just then, Lulu and Ethan entered. Lulu told her
brothers that it's time they get along. The talk turned to Rebecca, and Liz shared that she didn't trust the girl. As Lucky and Ethan traded barbs, the girls noticed that they really sounded like brothers.

Rebecca returned to Wyndemere but an impending storm dampened their waltz lesson. Rebecca and Nikolas went inside and watched a horror movie instead. Nik cited the numerous holes in the script and Rebecca jumped. Nik pulled her into a kiss. As they continued watching, Rebecca screamed several times, prompting Nik to laugh at her. Then, in a flash of lightning, Rebecca saw Ethan staring at her. She screamed again. Nik was startled, since the movie was at a love scene, not a scary part. Rebecca told Nik that she's had enough of the movie and wanted to take a bath.

At the Quartermaine mansion, Monica was outraged at Edward's
manipulative request for Jason to move back home with Michael. Jason said he'd like to move back in for Michael's sake but it would be too dangerous for the family to have him there. Jason also offered Monica and Edward a heartfelt apology for cutting them off years ago after his accident. After Jason left, Edward said to Monica that Sonny will never go for Michael living with the Q's.

At the PCPD, the Mayor announced to the press that he and Alexis had an affair and he accused her of framing him for murder. Alexis addressed the press and said she'd take herself off the case. One reporter asked if she would be stepping down as DA. Alexis replied that she would not. Robin tried to assure Kristina that things would be okay. Robin also advised the girl not to believe what she hears and keep her head held high. The Mayor professed his innocence and Mac dismissed the reporters. "Book him!" Mac stated, eyeing the Mayor. Andrea posted her husband's bail, as Robin and Patrick told Alexis that they were convinced Brianna was murdered. Robin, however, wondered aloud if the Mayor really did it.

Carly was furious that Sonny went ahead and bought Michael a car
without consulting her first. She also pointed out that their son doesn't even have a license. Michael got angry with his mother and told Carly she needs to see a shrink. Michael then left in a huff. When Carly started to go after him, Sonny asked her to let him handle it. Inside, Michael told Sonny he has no intention of giving up his car. Carly told Jason about the car and the mess that Sonny created. Jason told her to calm down for the sake of the baby. Carly went inside to speak to Sonny. She mentioned Michael living with the Q's. Sonny replied, "Over my dead body."

Maxie went to see Spinelli at the penthouse, who wouldn't open the door to her. She wanted to know why he turned down her offer to have sex. "Are you having performance anxiety?" she asked. Spinelli pulled her into the room. When she tried to kiss him, Spinelli turned away. He assured Maxie that he still has feelings for her but was afraid he'd end up getting hurt again. Maxie assured him that she cares deeply for him but he pointed out that "remorse and heartbreak" have always followed after they've had sex. Maxie apologized for using him in the past and assured him that he's a terrific lover. They shared a gentle kiss. Just then, Jason interrupted. Maxie was angry but Spinelli said Jason's timing was excellent.

Michael showed up at Kristina's and told her about the car — and that Carly tried to take it away. Kristina countered, "The entire world is finding out that my mother is a slut." Kristina kvetched about her mother to Michael and told Michael to, "Just shoot me now. Oops, sorry," she muttered. Alexis came home and Kristina was cold to her.

Elizabeth showed up at Wyndemere and Nikolas told her he was going to ask Rebecca to move in. Meanwhile, Rebecca met Ethan outside and he reminded her that Nikolas is their mark. Ethan then pulled Rebecca into a kiss.

Tuesday

At Wyndemere, Elizabeth was aghast the Nikolas was going to ask Rebecca to move in with him. Outside, Ethan tried to get Rebecca to head back to town for a quickie. She admonished him for being so brazen. Nikolas joined Rebecca outside, as Ethan had slipped out of sight. Nikolas and Rebecca had sex.

At the Lakehouse, Kristina laid into Alexis for having an affair with a married man. Alexis tried to explain herself but Kristina wasn't having any of it. Kris stormed off to her room and Michael pointed out the hypocrisy of their parents. Michael went home and told Sonny about Alexis's affair and stated at least his parents don't pretend to be perfect.

At the penthouse, Maxie was upset that Jason interrupted her make-out session with Spinelli. Spinelli stated he was glad, and pointed out that their last two carnal encounters ended up in heartache. He suggested they try "courtly love." Maxie was intrigued, but didn't know what the concept was.

Carly accused Sonny of trying to start a fight after buying Michael the car. The subject of the argument then changed to Carly's decision to have Michael live with the Quartermaines. Sonny couldn't argue that the place was safer but Sonny feared the Q's would try and turn Michael against him. He was adamant that Michael stay with him. Carly left and pleaded her case to Jason. Jason then went to talk to Sonny and told him that he felt strongly
that the best place for Michael was with the Q's. The men discussed how similar Michael's case is to Jason's. Jason pointed out that due to his lifestyle, he'll never live to be an old man, and neither of them want that for Michael. Sonny insisted he just wants what's best for his son.

At Metro Court, Jax and Olivia also discussed Michael's living arrangements. Olivia said she couldn't see Sonny giving up his son to anyone, let alone the Q's. Jax said he had a secret weapon, and asked Olivia to call Claudia in for a meeting. Claudia arrived and laid into Olivia about Johnny but Liv stated she didn't summon her — Jax did. "What could you possibly want?" Claudia asked Jax. Jax played hardball and ordered Claudia to get Sonny to agree to allow Michael to reside at the Q's — or he'd spill that she was responsible for Michael's shooting. Just then, Carly walked in.

At Jake's, as Maxie and Spinelli contemplated their relationship, Robin and Patrick wondered if they Mayor was truly guilty in Brianna's death. Olivia showed up and kissed Johnny as he played pool. Maxie had a chat with Robin about "courtly love" and was disappointed to hear that it didn't include sex. Elizabeth arrived and had a conversation with Ethan. She asked him not to be so hard on Lucky. He mentioned that he was worried Luke went missing and no one seems concerned. Liz pointed out that's just the way Luke is. Then, Ethan said something cryptic about watching out for the sudden appearance of unknown relatives. Liz immediately thought of Rebecca.

Wednesday

At Jake's, Elizabeth asked Ethan if there was anything else beside his
connection to Luke that was keeping him in Port Charles. Ethan didn't answer
and continued kvetching about how Holly kept the truth from him. He
asked Liz if she thought he should stay or hit the road. Ethan said he
missed having any connection to his life before coming to town. Liz called
him a cab.

Nikolas asked Rebecca to move in with him. Rebecca liked the idea but told
Nik he might regret it. Nik said he thought it through and had no concerns
about what other people might think. "You're such a hard man to say no to,"
she claimed. "Then say yes!" he countered. Rebecca agreed and they sealed
the deal with a kiss. Just then, Rebecca got a call from a drunken Ethan,
who insisted that she come meet him. Rebecca pretended it was the hospital
and they were calling her into work. After she left, Lulu stopped by and Nik
told his sister the news of his cohabitation. Lulu was stunned but told her
brother that she wanted him to be happy.

When Carly caught Claudia with Jax, Claudia said Jax was pressuring her into doing a favor. "Tell her," Claudia bluffed. Jax covered and he said he thought
that Claudia might help them convince Sonny to let Michael stay at the
Quartermaines. He conveniently left out the part where he threatened her
with blackmail. Claudia said she'd never help them and left. Jax and Carly
were united in their contempt for Claudia. Carly thanked Jax for his efforts
but said she was going to have to convince Sonny on her own.

Robin and Patrick shared their thoughts with Alexis that the Mayor may not
have killed Brianna. Alexis was even more mortified, thinking she arrested
an innocent man. However, the sleuths admitted they had no evidence to the
contrary, just a gut feeling. After they left, Diane stopped by to support
Alexis. The pair had some girl talk and toasted to, "Rebuilding."

Sonny was adamant about keeping Michael with him and while Jason was
sympathetic, he insisted that the Q mansion was the safest place for Michael
to be. Jason pointed out how he also had to give Michael up many years ago
to keep him safe. An eavesdropping Michael interrupted and said he wanted to
stay with Sonny. Then, Sonny saw the light and realized that Michael
couldn't stay. Michael wasn't happy about it. Carly and Jax arrived and
Michael, under protest, packed his things.

Coleman came up to Maxie at Jake's and said he'd been waiting for a girl
like her. Spinelli was shocked. Coleman clarified that he wanted to attract
a more upscale clientele and, considering her look at her Crimson contacts,
she was good p.r. for the place. Spinelli suggested making the place more
romantic by adding poetry readings. Coleman thought maybe "girls in cages" would do it.

Rebecca returned to find a drunken Ethan in her bed. He accused her of
getting emotionally involved with her mark and threatened to expose her.
Rebecca told Ethan that nothing had changed between them. He admitted that
he missed her. She reminded him that he needed to be professional, too.
Ethan wanted to have sex but passed out, much to Rebecca's relief.

Claudia went to Johnny and told him that Jax tried to blackmail her. She
then went home to Sonny and assured Sonny that she'd never keep him away
from their baby.... Carly and Jax broke the news to Morgan about Michael
living at the Qs. Morgan was sad.... Jason brought Michael to live at the
Qs. When they started bickering, Jason asked them to cool it until Michael
got adjusted to the place. Then, Jason left.

Thursday

Carly visited Jax at work and confided to him that she feared that if
Michael lived with the Quartermaines, he'd "run rings" about Monica and
Edward. Jax didn't mind if they spoiled him, arguing that it was better than
Michael living with a mob boss, and that he was safe. Carly still wasn't
pleased. Jax then arranged for Morgan to go to the Qs — in a limo! At the
Qs, Michael exercised by using the furniture as his apparatus. Edward told
him that they had a gym and could order the appropriate equipment for him.
Michael asked if he could have a physical therapist come by so he doesn't
have to go to the hospital for therapy. Edward eagerly arranged to have one
come to the house. Michael worked out with the therapist than suffered a
dizzy spell. Monica was annoyed and stated that it might put him right back
in the hospital. Michael insisted that he was fine and didn't like Monica
hovering over him. The teen then went on about how Carly didn't really
believe in him. Edward agreed that Carly should've given him more freedom.
Michael said he feels relaxed at the Qs and wanted to stay.

At the garage, Johnny called Olivia so they could make plans. He was
interrupted when Dominic came by. Dominic wanted him to help him infiltrate
Sonny's organization, but Johnny refused and told Dom to ask Sonny for a job
himself. Dom reminded Johnny that he'd saved his life, but Johnny disagreed
that Dominic had actually put him in danger. After Dom left, Olivia paid
Johnny a visit and shared that she was going home to Brooklyn to have lunch
with her son and parents. She called her family, "classic, old-school
Italian." "It's pretty much wall-to-wall Type A personalities," she joked.
"You'd have a blast." She explained that she wanted to hold off on
introducing him to her son since they were about the same age. Johnny
understood and they kissed.

Coleman showed Patrick the new karaoke machine he'd had installed at Jake's.
He invited Patrick to be the first to sing, but Drake refused, explaining
that he needed to keep a low profile with the malpractice suit going on.
Spinelli and Maxie then entered the bar; Spin was thrilled to see that there
was now karaoke available and planned to serenade his gal. Maxie told him
that she doesn't need a display of courtly love, that she just wanted him
"with benefits." Spinelli reminded her that they weren't supposed to be
getting physical, then went to pick a song. Maxie accused Coleman of
exploiting Spinelli and feared that if Spin sang badly, it would hurt his
self esteem. Coleman replied that his singing might surprise her. However,
as Spin later sang it the shower, it was beyond terrible.

At the hospital, Robin chatted with Toussaint and found out that he's had
experience doing investigative work. She asked him to help her find out who
really murdered Brianna since she had a feeling that the mayor wasn't the
killer. They were interrupted when Andrea came by and thanked Robin for her
help. "How exactly have I helped you?" Robin asked. Andrea explained that
she's helped by being objective and was confident that her husband would be
exonerated. Andrea then introduced herself to Toussaint and told him that
she was a big fan of his music. He was flattered when she asked for an
autograph and happily obliged. After, Robin asked Toussaint if he thought
Andrea was capable of murder. Andrea overheard as Robin shared her new
theory with Patrick.

Kristina and Molly read nasty comments about Alexis online. Alexis was
annoyed with her for showing them to her sister. Alexis admitted to Molly
that she was involved with the mayor, but it was a huge mistake. Molly
wondered why everyone knew; Alexis explained that the mayor told the press.
She feared that the fallout would affect her daughters, but assured Molly
that it's not her or Kristina's responsibility to fix it. Kristina suggested
that if anyone asks them about it, they keep their mouths shut; Alexis
agreed that that was a good plan. Later, Alexis had a talk with Kristina
about how disappointed Kris was with her. Still, Alexis was upset with her
daughter for showing Molly the blog about Alexis. "What is wrong with you?
What happened to the compassionate, mature daughter that I could always
count on?" Alexis asked. "Maybe she changed when she found out her mother
slept with a married man," Kristina answered. Ouch. Kristina then yelled at
her mother for always pressuring her to be perfect when Alexis had messed
up. Alexis apologized for being too controlling and reminded her that
they're both human. "So then you can do whatever you want?" Kris snarked. "I
am your mother and it would be very nice if you treated me that way," Alexis
angrily replied. Before heading off to work, Alexis tried to make amends
with Kristina, but Kris was still cold toward her. After she left, Dominic
stopped by and approached Kristina.

Michael was happy to see his brother and wanted to take him for a spin in
his new car. Edward wasn't sure, but Michael promised that they'd stay on
the property. Edward gave in and let him take Morgan for a ride.... Jax
advised Carly to wait a day or two before seeing her son. "When have you
ever known me to use restraint?" she sighed, not liking the idea of pulling
back. She agreed to give Michael as much room as she could. Later, she
stopped by the Q manse and was horrified when Edward revealed that her sons went
for a ride in Michael's car.... Michael and Morgan were having a blast on
their ride. Michael tried to scare Morgan by telling him that Jason's
accident happened while Jason's brother was driving.
