General Hospital Recaps
GH Week of April 26, 2010
Monday
Jason resolved to get Michael out of the country. Sonny ordered him to leave it alone, but Jason stormed out. Near the lake house, Kristina met with Michael and begged him not to confess because she couldn't bear to lose anyone else. Michael said losing Kiefer was no loss, but she maintained that she loved him. "Kiefer didn't always hit me," she said, explaining how it escalated from shouting. "Please don't tell me how messed up that is." She promised not to tell anyone he's back. He resolved to hide in the Quartermaine boathouse. After Michael left, Sam ran into Kristina and brought her home. Sam said if Krissy sees Michael, she should let her and Jason know. Sam lamented not recognizing the danger signs in Krissy's relationship. Dante summoned Lucky to Lulu's place to tell him he found Michael — but his brother got away. Dante and Lucky figured Michael could get a suspended sentence. Lulu said it wouldn't be so bad if Sonny went to prison. Dante resolved to find Michael himself, and wondered whether to send his father or his brother to jail. At the penthouse, a nervous Maxie babbled about whether she did the right thing in Sonny's case and made plans to depart for Milan immediately. When Jason returned, she blurted out, "I know where Michael is!" Maxie sent Jason to the apartment — then fled for Milan. Sonny told Alexis that Kristina must be prepared for the possibility that he could go to jail. Alexis said she may go to jail too, because Warren is pressing for prison time. Sonny said he will shut warren up — permanently. "It'll be an accident," Sonny mumbled. Alexis flipped out at the prospect of Sonny killing again. Sonny said sometimes it's the only way. Alexis suggested Kiefer probably felt the same way.
On The Haunted Star, Skye insisted she is not interested in Luke's money, but Tracy was still furious. "See you in divorce court!" she snarled and stormed out. AT G.H., Elizabeth thanked Steve for assigning her to oncology, because it has given her a new perspective. She begged him to look into Shirley's case. Liz also asked Maya to get involved. Shirley suggested that Elizabeth set up her brother with a nurse. Or Maya. Later, Maya said she has a friend who might want to sell Shirley's "weird" jewelry. Shirley told Steve that Elizabeth needs her, and she needs Liz.
The jury was split, and Alice encouraged Lisa to explain why she thinks Sonny is not guilty. Lisa said the state did not prove murder beyond a reasonable doubt. One Angry Juror claimed Michael saw the whole thing and was being hidden by Sonny. Another vote produced 8 guilty, 3 undecided and 1 not guilty results.
Morgan picked up on the awkwardness between Carly and Jax. Carly insisted she loves Jax — but not some of the stuff he's done. They began fighting, so Morgan told them to stop acting like 2-year-olds and work it out. Jax suggested putting aside their difference to give Morgan and Josslyn some family time. Later, as they all played a pirate board game, Sonny called and Carly went running. Jax promised Joss he and her mother would work things out once Sonny is in jail. Meanwhile, Sonny told Carly that Michael is back — and he's with Dante. In reality, Michael was at the Q boathouse — where Maya walked in on him. Jason showed up at Lulu's place, looking for Michael.
Tuesday
Alexis asked Kristina if Kiefer pressured her into sex. She admitted she wanted to make him happy, but part of her wanted to do it, too. And by this time, he had already slapped her once, after she put off having sex. Alexis pointed out that was wrong, but Kristina insisted she wasn't perfect, either. Alexis asked how she could stay with someone who hit her? Krissy said it's difficult to talk about, but she didn't want Kiefer to get in trouble. She felt lucky to be dating Kiefer, because he made her feel important. Alexis lamented not seeing the danger signs, but Kristina pointed out that her father wasn't around to help her. Alexis was upset that Kristina got the message that violence is okay, but she hopes Krissy now understands she deserves better. Kristina visited Sonny, and told him she wonders how it went so wrong with Kiefer. Sonny recounted his similar situation with his violent stepfather, who used to blame his victims. Krissy noted that's what Kiefer used to say. She started crying, and he hugged her. She said Alexis thinks Kristina was feeling rejected by her father and using Kiefer as a substitute. Sonny wished he could have been there for her and seen the warning signs.
Patrick brought Emma to the park for a playdate with Nikolas and Spencer. Nik admitted he's overmatched as a father, and asked Patrick for advice. Patrick said it clicked for him the first time he held Emma, but Nik admitted it doesn't come naturally for him. He regrets the time he's missed with Spencer, and wants to be a proper dad to Elizabeth's baby. Elizabeth, meanwhile, brought Cameron and Jake to visit Shirley in the oncology unit. Cam asked, "Are you dying?" Shirley said nobody lives forever, except vampires (who are undead, Shirley, but whatever!). After Liz took the kids home, Shirley urged Steve to enjoy his life. Later, Steve cautioned Liz about getting too attached to Shirley (who is not a vampire).
In the jury room, Lisa insisted that Sonny acted in self-defense, but One Angry Juror insisted the mob kingpin must be guilty. Alice called for another vote, which came out 11-1 for conviction. The One Angry Juror badgered Lisa. Alice also called Lisa wrong, then adjourned the jury for the night.
Jason asked Lulu where to find Michael, but Dante said he moved Michael. Lulu insisted she honestly doesn't know where he is, so Jason stormed out. A conflicted Lulu stuck by Dante, who left to go find Michael. In the Quartermaine boathouse, Michael volunteered to Maya that AJ is his biological father, and he's a potential witness in Sonny's murder trial. She hinted that she would keep his secret, and left. Meanwhile, Carly was worried that Michael will confess (again) if Sonny is convicted, but Sonny assured her that Dante is protecting Michael. "Leave it alone," he commanded, but she refused. At the Q mansion, Edward suddenly became suspicious that Ethan had stolen something and decided to call the police, but Maya stopped him. She pointed out the Q's gave Ethan the run of the mansion. While the Q's argued, Maya sneaked out — followed by Ethan, who wondered where she was going with a load of food. Carly went to Jason, who told her about Lulu and Dante. Carly flipped and set off to question Lulu — after making sure Jason won't tell Sonny. Carly accused Lulu of siding with Dante over her own family, and putting Michael in danger. When Dante returned, Carly said Lulu owes her and Michael better than this. She left, leaving Lulu in tears. Carly returned to Jason — and then Michael called. He refused to tell her where he is, but said he's watching the trial, and if Sonny is convicted, he will turn himself in.
Wednesday
Helena lectured a confused Spencer about Cassadine history. Nikolas was horrified by all the bloodthirsty storytelling. Then, Helena's new minion, Thor, brought by a box that Helena gave to her great-grandson. Nikolas whisked the gift away and Helena dubbed him "bourgeois." Fed up, Nikolas warned Helena about interfering (and about doing inappropriate things with Thor under his roof). Meanwhile, Elizabeth brought Cameron and Jake back to GH to pick up Shirley for an outing...much to Steven's dismay. He didn't want Liz to overtax her patient. Robin, a very chatty Emma and Patrick bonded in the park, talking about Nikolas raising kids Cassadine-style. Amid all the family cuteness, Patrick spied Michael sneaking through the bushes and moved to call the cops. Robin wanted him to leave it alone. Cue another argument about her protecting Sonny. At Wyndemere, Spencer wanted to know if "Grammy Hella" would be going to the park with them. Nikolas nixed that and ushered the kid out. Then, Grammy got confirmation that the lab tech she'd paid off was dead and would never be able to squeal about Liz's real baby daddy. Later, Liz, Shirley and the boys arrived at the park and so did Nikolas and Spencer. Awkward!
Maya brought Michael some food at the Quartermaine boathouse...as Ethan listened at the door. Across town, Lulu was alarmed to find Dante's loft empty and then relieved when he came home with coffee. They bantered about why his apartment his messy, and Lulu reaffirmed her faith in Dante. Meanwhile, Claire called Johnny to meet at the Metro Court and asked him to help her turn Lisa, the one hold-out juror in Sonny's case. Johnny then canoodled with Olivia and used her computer to find Lisa's room number. In Lisa's room, Alice gave her props for holding out. Michael slipped out of the boathouse and then Ethan cornered Maya, cracking that if she liked bad boys, he'd gladly volunteer his services! She was not amused, saying he could call the cops on Michael if he felt the need. All kidding aside, Ethan warned her about tangling in the boy's business. Back at the Metro Court, the mayor put the squeeze on Claire about her case going south and then she was e-mailed the photo of an adorable baby, with the text, "Miss you, Angela." Moments later, Carly sauntered up and the claws came out!
Alexis brought Kristina home from therapy and Krissy admitted she'd had a heart to heart with Sonny. "It's not like we're suddenly okay and I'm okay with what he does," she said. She feared what would happen with Sonny's trial and Alexis assured her she's there for her no matter what. At the Metro Court, Carly and Claire argued about Sonny. When Carly saw the baby on Claire's laptop screen and sniped about it, Claire shut the computer, warned Carly she'd done more to protect Carly's kids than Carly herself had, and walked away. At Dante's loft, he and Lulu flirted some more and talked about Michael. As he and Lulu had breakfast, Claire walked in, looking for her witness. "I honestly lost him. No joke," admitted Dante. At the Metro Court, Alice checked on how Lisa was doing with her deliberating, and Lisa trumped up excuses. Then, Johnny let himself into Lisa's room! He tried to sway Lisa, talking about losing Claudia. Nearby, Carly begged Olivia to get Dante to spill about Michael's location. Back at Dante's, Claire warned him she'd turn him in for obstruction of justice. As for the MIA Michael, he showed up at the lake house to talk to Kristina!
Thursday
Michael told Kristina that he confessed to Dante, even though he is not sure if Dante is a cop or brother first. When Alexis walked in she felt obligated to call the authorities. Krissy argued with her, and Michael fled while Alexis dialed. At the loft, Claire accused Dante of putting his father ahead of being a cop. He accused her of being politically ambitious. Later, Ronnie arrived and urged Dante to turn in Michael. When Dante revealed that Michael actually killed Claudia, Ronnie advised him to say nothing and let Sonny be convicted: "We win." Dante insisted it's not that simple. Later, Lulu arrived, and Dante wished Mr. Poletti was still around to offer advice. But he's not, because Sonny had him killed.
Diane told Sonny the jury is probably working toward a guilty verdict. Or maybe it's a hung jury, thanks to a lone hold-out. At that moment, Johnny told lone hold-out Lisa that Claudia deserves justice, since she was Sonny's victim. Lisa insisted she has to look at the evidence, not further his agenda. After he left, she went to the jury room, where the One Angry Juror urged her to change her vote. Alice defended Lisa's right to dissent, but Lisa said she's ready to vote. But before she did, Lisa reminded everyone that they are not there to vote on Sonny's character, just whether he was deliberately trying to kill Claudia. Jason told Sonny that Michael called last night to report he's okay — and promise that if Sonny is convicted, he will turn himself in. Jason was amazed at Sonny's faith in Dante the traitor. Sonny pointed out Dante is just doing his job by trying to convict him. Sonny insisted Dante is not more important than Michael, Morgan or Kristina. Then Diane called with word that the jury is back with a verdict.
Olivia told Carly she cannot reveal where Michael is, because it would hurt Dante. Carly insisted giving up Michael would take an impossible decision out of Dante's hands. Jax strolled in and supported Carly's position, but Liv maintained that she trusts her son's judgment. After Olivia left, Carly and Jax confessed that they enjoyed their family time together. She actually called him "perfect," but noted that all this strife is his fault. "If Michael ends up suffering because of you, I don' t think I'll ever be able to forgive you," she warned. Carly went to court and ran into Claire — who mentioned that Michael is back in town, and will soon be in custody and forced to testify. Johnny arrived home frustrated. Then Olivia arrived, flustered over Carly's pressure. "You deserve to know the truth," Johnny said, and revealed that Michael killed Claudia, and Sonny, Carly and Jax have been covering it up. She was shocked that he knew the whole story. He explained that he doesn't blame Michael — he blames Sonny for making Michael a victim.
When Molly came home, Kristina revealed that Michael is in town, and decided to bring her to see him. Meanwhile, Morgan visited Michael at the Quartermaine boathouse, and called him a good older brother. Then the girls arrived, and Michael reassured them that things will work out. Meanwhile, Dante waited outside court. Inside, Sonny approached Jax and they traded barbs as the moment of truth approached. Diane dragged Sonny back to the defense table, but when Johnny came in, Sonny jumped up and got in his face, calling Claudia a "psychotic bitch" who "really did get what she deserved." Judge Carroll called the court to order and brought in the jury. But then Dante burst in and declared, "Sonny Corinthos didn't kill his wife. His son Michael did!"
Friday
At the PCPD, Lucky finished up a sweet call with Cam and Mac picked his
brain about where AWOL Michael might be. Lucky cited conflict of interest,
noting he doesn't "want to hunt down family." Mac just wanted to make this
easier on the boy. At the Quartermaine boathouse, Kristina, Molly, Morgan
and Michael continued to discuss their predicament. Morgan had a lot of
faith in Dante, but Kristina cautioned him. The kids then split up. Over at
the courthouse, Dante spilled all about the cover-up and Michael's guilt.
Diane and Claire both took issue with the outburst, Jason stalked out, and
Judge Carroll yelled at everyone. He sent the jury away, swearing to get to
the bottom of all the shenanigans. Claire tried to paint Dante as a liar.
Then, Diane insisted Sonny's story still stands. Dante piped up to disagree
and Judge Carroll snapped at him but then called him to the stand. Dante
talked about how Sonny deserves to be locked up for something he'd actually
done and then Carroll asked him for facts. Dante kept outlining what he'd
learned and talked about admitting Michael's bloody shirt into evidence.
Lucky found Michael out by the boathouse and they bantered about how Lucky
had discovered his whereabouts. Then, Lucky had him recount Claudia's murder
in his own words. "I didn't mean to kill Claudia!" Michael insisted. Dante
painted a similarly sympathetic picture in court, but Sonny looked lethal.
Meanwhile, Jason showed up at the lake house, asking Kristina and Molly
where Michael is. He shocked the girls, revealing that Dante had fingered
Michael in court and reminded them that Dante is a cop and not to be
trusted. Claire, meanwhile, claimed that Dante and Michael were in cahoots
trying to free their father. Judge Carroll, not having it, issued a warrant
for Michael so he could hear it all from the source. Then, he re-called
Carly to the stand and she adjusted her previous testimony...to keep
covering for Michael! Judge Carroll then adjourned the court till they could
produce Michael. Back at the boathouse, Michael and Lucky talked about the
cover-up and bonded. A regretful Lucky noted he has to turn Michael in, but
what Michael decided to tell the court was up to him.
Ronnie dropped by Chez Jacks and totally shattered Morgan's world by telling
him Dante had narc'd on Michael. Back at the courthouse, Johnny chided Dante
about hanging his brother out to dry and letting Sonny walk and Jax told
Claire he'd kept silent in order to protect his family. Nearby, Carly
snarled at Sonny about his "bastard of a son." Back at the boathouse, Jason
showed up and said he was taking Michael and there was nothing Lucky could
do about it. But Lucky drew his gun! "Then I guess we're at a stalemate!" he
said. As they argued, Jason revealed Dante had given Michael up. Johnny made
a beeline to Olivia's to tell her the same news. At the courthouse, Carly
lashed out at Lulu for betraying her and Sonny accused Dante of using
Michael to get back at him.
