General Hospital Recaps
GH Week of April 6, 2009
Monday
At Mercy, Nikolas heard an anesthetized Rebecca say, "Nikolas ... can never find out." "Find out what?" Nik asked. Rebecca mumbled incoherently. In the hall, Epiphany comforted a nervous Nik. She explained to him the entire biopsy procedure and recounted her own personal experience. After the procedure, Nik
told Rebecca that she came through with flying colors. Now, they just had to await the results. "You're so kind," she smiled. "I don't know how I'll repay you." Nikolas brought up what Rebecca mumbled, but then he dropped the matter. Nik escorted Rebecca back to her room at Kelly's. He also said he'd come back to see her tomorrow and take her for a drive.
Sonny had sex with Claudia, then apologized for his recent behavior. Sonny thanked Claudia for helping make him feel better. "I'm glad," Claudia replied. After Sonny left the room, she immediately pulled out a pregnancy test and read the instructions.
On the docks, Patrick glanced down in the water. "Robin!" he screamed. Patrick took off his jacket, jumped in, pulled his wife out of the water and performed CPR. Robin regained consciousness and she asked where Emma was. Patrick called for an ambulance.
At the warehouse, Jason told Carly that Sonny suspected that Ian Devlin wasn't acting alone when Michael was shot. Jason vowed to find out who else was responsible and make them pay. Carly wondered why they'd be discussing this a whole year after the fact. Then, she pointed out that revenge won't solve anything. Carly told Jason to mention to Sonny about re-opening the coffee warehouse. After Carly left, Jason found Ric wandering around the empty facility and pointed a gun to his neck. "Don't move," Jason uttered. Ric said he was there to honor his fallen nephew on the anniversary of his shooting. Jason blasted Ric, stating that if he had anything to do with Michael's shooting, he'd kill him with his bare hands.
In Mercy's lobby, Maxie ran into Matt and the two traded barbs. Matt then asked Maxie out. Just then, Robin was rushed into the hospital. Patrick told them that Robin fell off the pier. Matt wondered aloud if it was a suicide attempt and Maxie slapped him. Maxie said that postpartum or no postpartum, Robin would never try to kill herself. Later, she began to wonder if what he said could be true.
Sonny called Kristina to tell he that he was proud of how well she's doing in school. Sonny noted that he hadn't seen his daughter for a couple of months. After venting about Michael's dilemma, Sonny stated that he loves his kids but he should have never had them. Carly burst in and confronted Claudia about visiting Michael. Claudia told Sonny that she was just trying to express her
concern and left the room. Sonny and Carly discussed whether or not they should try the risky experimental procedure on Michael. After some debate, they agreed to wait. Sonny then vowed to take down whoever else was responsible, as Claudia eavesdropped from the next room.
Once safely in bed, Robin thanked Patrick for saving her life. "Why were you there?" Patrick asked. He then questioned whether her fall was an accident. Robin scoffed at the notion. She stated that she's dealing with her postpartum and she merely slipped and fell. Patrick said the reason he stopped to begin with was that he found her ripped up prescription for anti-depressants. She assured Patrick that she didn't try and kill herself. Maxie popped in to visit
her cousin. Patrick decided to give the girls some privacy and left. Robin told Maxie she would never try to end her life. Maxie said she believed Robin. Meanwhile, Matt stressed to Patrick how important it is that Robin attend therapy and take her meds as directed.
Later, Maxie informed Jason about Robin's accident. Jason refused to believe that Robin would attempt to kill herself.
Patrick returned to Robin's room with a new prescription and insisted she take her meds. "What happened on that pier was an accident," Robin huffed. "I am terrified," Patrick confessed. "I want you to be healthy." Robin took a pill.
Tuesday
Tracy burst into The Haunted Star and complained that profits were down. She then grabbed Ethan's wallet to see if he'd been skimming cash. Ethan grabbed it back and nearly lost his cool, then went back to his charming self. Just then, Lucky entered, demanding to see Ethan's visa. "How did a man like Luke
end up with a son like you?" Ethan wondered aloud. He then accused Lucky of hiding behind his badge. Ethan's papers were all in order so Lucky left. Tracy then gave Ethan the rest of the day off so she could count the till. After Ethan left, Tracy made a call and said, "Get down to the casino, now!" Edward showed up and Tracy questioned him about his illegitimate kids. She suspected that Ethan might be Luke's son and admitted that she saw Ethan's
old photo of Luke and Robert when she grabbed his wallet earlier.
At the penthouse, Maxie asked Jason to convince Robin that therapy was a good idea. Jason asserted that he was not the right person for this job. Maxie implored Jason to intervene with Robin, as he's one of the few people she'd actually listen to.
At Mercy, Robin was packing to go home. Patrick brought Robin's shrink, Dr. Brown, with him. Robin was not happy and accused him of ambushing her. Patrick told Robin if there was nothing wrong with her, then prove it and talk to the doctor. She reluctantly agreed. "Why were you on that pier?" Dr. Brown asked. Robin explained it was just an accident. She then lied about taking her meds and suggested that maybe Patrick was the one who needs
counseling.
Jax brought in a European specialist, Dr. Hensen, to evaluate Michael's condition. Carly mentioned Michael's hand movement but Dr. Hensen stated that she agreed with the doctors, that it was most likely an involuntary movement. The doctor relayed that she had a patient who'd emerged from a coma after 10 years and later died due to atrophy. Dr. Hensen admitted that her experimental procedure was not for everyone and they needed to give it some serious thought. Once alone, Carly feared Michael was not getting any better. "We need to wake him up as soon as possible." Later, Carly sat down at Michael's bedside and asked him what she should do. She then told Michael to hang in there and fight.
At Crimson, Matt showed up to see Maxie but she wasn't there. He decided to wait. Shortly after, Maxie arrived, surprised to see Matt there. Just then, Kate came out of her office and told Maxie that she and Johnny had another club opening to attend. When Johnny wasn't available by phone, Lulu volunteered Matt to take her, much to Maxie's chagrin. Just then, Ethan arrived. Lulu suggested she and Ethan attend the opening. Kate ordered Maxie to go with Matt, and Lulu could go out on her date with Ethan. An angry
Maxie and an amused Matt got onto the elevator, while Ethan returned the money he'd won from Lulu last week. He was thrilled to learn they'd be going out on a date. When Lulu balked, Ethan threatened to expose her scheming with Maxie to Kate.
Jason ran into Robin on the docks. Robin explained what happened. "I believe you," Jason assured. Robin then told Jason about her meeting with the little girl named Emma. Jason asked if she imagined it. "She's everything I'm afraid of," Robin replied. Robin stated again that she's fearful she shouldn't be a mom. "I'm out of control, which is not a good thing for a control freak like me," Robin sighed. Jason advised her to continue therapy and take her meds.
At Mercy, Elizabeth tried to provide Patrick with some comfort, to no avail. Patrick was fearful that Robin might not escape her postpartum. Liz stated that Patrick needs to come clean about seeing her with that guy in Rochester because it was eating him up inside. Patrick lamented that he just wants his happy family back.
Back at Metro Court, Jax confided the Michael dilemma to Olivia. Jax expressed guilt at not having done something about Jerry after the Metro Court hostage crisis, stating Michael would still be with them if he had. Later, Carly returned and answered Jax's phone — and was surprised to hear Jerry's voice on the other end of the line.
Wednesday
Rebecca informed Nikolas that Monica called and asked to see her. Later, Emily went to the Q mansion, where Monica sat her down and shared her story of living with breast cancer. Monica then spoke of how she met Paige and Emily, and let Rebecca know that she'd be there for her if she needed her. "Don't worry, okay?" Monica asked. Rebecca was touched by Monica's concern.
At Sonny's house, Claudia caught Sonny and Olivia sharing a laugh and demanded to know what was going on. Sonny told Claudia to calm down. Olivia was merely straightening a picture on the wall. They were laughing because it reminded them of an incident that happened when they were back in high school and got in trouble with one of the nuns. Jealous Claudia left in a huff. "You're in trouble," Olivia whispered. "What else is new?" Sonny
shrugged.
After Jax caught Carly speaking to Jerry on the phone, he grabbed it away from her and told his brother that no one cared what he had to say. "Don't call here again," Jax shouted into the phone before hanging up. Jax and Carly agreed not to let Jerry back into their lives.
Ethan and Lulu returned to The Haunted Star. Tracy forbid the two of them to go out on a date. Lulu said they were not on a date. After, Edward and Tracy discussed the possible scenarios regarding whether or not Ethan could be Luke's son. Edward left and Tracy ordered Ethan to get back to work. Lulu insisted to her stepmother that they were not on a date. Tracy mentioned to Lulu that she believes Ethan has an agenda. Lulu thought Tracy was reading too much into the stranger's past.
Patrick was not pleased to see Robin return to work so soon after her fall into the harbor. Robin sniped at him and Elizabeth. Liz told Robin that illness or not, she needs to step up and reclaim her life. Later, Patrick apologized to Liz for Robin's behavior. Elizabeth was supportive and advised him to come clean about seeing her with the guy in Rochester.
At Mercy, Claudia barged in and demanded an appointment with Kelly. She wanted to know how soon she'd have to wait after sex to find out she was pregnant. Claudia then went to Metro Court and ordered Olivia to stay away from Sonny. Olivia wasn't having any of Claudia's threats. Olivia told Claudia that she'd be surprised to learn what Liv knows about Claudia. She then told Claudia to, "Find a nice dark corner so you can get on your knees and pray." Unnerved, Claudia left. She returned to Sonny's house and began
to seduce him yet again. After sex, Sonny went out. Claudia put her legs up and read her pregnancy book. Just then, Sonny returned to get his wallet and asked, "What the hell are you doing?"
Robin met with Kelly in the park and they shared some girl talk about the stories that were circulating about Robin's behavior. "Maybe it's time to get better," Kelly suggested. "Tell me where to start," Robin asked. Robin then confessed her aversion to taking anti-depressants and her fear that she may be losing Patrick. Kelly advised Robin to just focus on herself first so she can be whole later for her husband and daughter. Robin went home to talk to Patrick. Mercedes informed Robin that Patrick took Emma to the park. In the park, Patrick sat on a bench holding Emma and vowed to always be there for her. Just then, Liz showed up with the boys. "Sorry we're late," she smiled. As the gang played, Robin showed up and saw them all together. She took off without saying a word.
Carly went to see Sonny and nearly fainted. He warned her about taking care of herself.
Edward returned home and was delighted to find Rebecca at the mansion. He invited her to come and live with them again. As Edward pressured her for an answer, Nikolas showed up in time to rescue her. Nik claimed they were supposed to go horseback riding but he took her to The Haunted Star instead. Lulu was concerned that her brother was becoming obsessed with Rebecca.
Olivia asked Jax if he made a copy of the DVD. He said he didn't. Olivia told him about her run-in with Claudia and brought up the fact that somebody needs to tell Sonny the truth. Jax refused, citing that the revelation of Jerry's involvement would negatively impact his marriage to Carly. Just then, Carly walked in. Olivia left and Carly and Jax discussed Michael. Then, Jax had to keep an appointment. Once alone, Carly fainted again.
Thursday
At The Haunted Star, Nikolas tried to assure Lulu that he enjoys Rebecca's company, and not just because she reminds him of Emily. Meanwhile, Tracy called Spinelli and asked him to dig up information on Ethan. Lulu left the casino to go back to work, while Ethan asked Tracy why she didn't like him hanging around Lulu. Tracy declined to give an answer. Rebecca did better than Nikolas at blackjack. Then, she and Tracy exchanged words. Tracy accused Rebecca of having an agenda. Nikolas refused to listen to Tracy's sniping and he and Rebecca left. Ethan asked Tracy why she chased them off and called her "too suspicious." Tracy then asked Ethan why he'd be interested in a girl like Lulu. "Why wouldn't I?" he smiled back.
Matt and Maxie entered Crimson bickering. She called Matt on his behavior at the latest opening; he stated that he enjoyed himself. Just then, Kate entered and congratulated the pair on a job well done. Maxie called Matt a "social leper," but Kate stated that she got great reports about the two of them. Kate wanted them to do another appearance, and Matt was shocked to learn that Johnny was getting paid to appear with Maxie in public. Matt told Maxie that he'd rescind taking the escort job — if she went on a date with
him. Maxie reluctantly agreed and blamed Lulu for saddling her with Matt in the first place.
Sonny walked in on Claudia with her legs in the air. She swore she was just doing yoga. "You're not the yoga type," Sonny sniffed. Claudia then did a number of acrobatic poses for him to prove her point.
At the penthouse, Spinelli burst in on Jason, Sam and Bernie and said that he has the answer to their dilemma about the problems Sam was having getting her P.I. license. Spinelli uncovered that Bernie has a P.I. license and he could join them in their undertaking to open a private investigation
service. Bernie was reluctant to join forces with them, due to Spinelli's problems with the feds, but Jason said he'd do whatever he could to assist. Bernie reluctantly agreed. Spinelli was ecstatic and gave Bernie a big hug. Bernie thought it was a terrible idea but, "maybe it could be fun." Later, Bernie told Jason he had information that indicated Ian Devlin did not act alone in Michael's shooting.
A solemn Johnny flashed back to the argument he had with Lulu after Michael got shot, about how shallow the lives of mobsters were and how they damage anyone they care about just by being around them. He then went to see Claudia, who said her plan to get pregnant by Sonny was going well. Johnny chastised Claudia for bringing a child into their violent world just to save her own skin.
Ric visited Sonny and warned his brother not to trust Claudia. Ric said he wanted to discuss Michael's shooting. He told Sonny of his encounter with Jason at the warehouse and reiterated that he had nothing to do with the horrible accident. Later, Ric met with Claudia on the docks and again held the truth over her head so she'd get information against Sonny that he can use with the feds.
Spinelli visited Maxie at Crimson and shared the news that his P.I. agency was now a reality. Maxie complained about Lulu and stated that since Lulu's fighting dirty, she will, too. Meanwhile, Lulu met up with Johnny, who again refused to discuss the secret of Claudia's that he was keeping. Lulu grew increasingly frustrated. "Do you really have a secret with Claudia or are you just doing this because you want to be with Maxie?" Lulu demanded to know.
Back at her room at Kelly's, Rebecca invited Nikolas in. After she accused him of losing to her at blackjack on purpose, Rebecca and Nik fell into a deep kiss.
Friday
At Kelly's, Nikolas pulled back from his kiss with Rebecca, saying he didn't
want to take advantage of her. They went downstairs and bumped into Lucky,
who accused Nik of exploiting Rebecca's predicament. Lucky said that Nik was
warped for his behavior during Rebecca's biopsy and pointed out that she's
not Emily. He then told Nikolas that he hopes this obsession with Rebecca
doesn't blow up in his face. Lucky left and the two sat down to eat. Just
then, Rebecca's phone rang. It was the hospital with the biopsy results.
Rebecca held Nik's hand.
Lulu railed at Johnny and demanded to know if he was interested in Maxie.
Just then, Maxie entered and told Lulu to cool off. Johnny then confessed
that he and Maxie almost slept together the night of the blizzard — and he
hasn't stopped thinking about it since. Lulu was furious. She told off both
Johnny and Maxie. Then, Maxie chastised Johnny for trying to be something
he's not when he's with Lulu. Johnny agreed. He told Lulu he's tired of
trying to change. "I wish you figured that out before you told me you loved
me," Lulu huffed. "Me, too!" he shouted upon leaving. Lulu then called Maxie
a heartless slut. Maxie replied that she didn't want to hurt Lulu but she
and Johnny were not a match. She added that he stayed with her out of
loyalty after her breakdown last year.
At Metro Court, Carly had another dizzy spell. "What's wrong with me?" she
asked aloud. Olivia speculated that Carly might be pregnant. Carly relayed
the story of her last miscarriage and stated it's unlikely she could
conceive again. Later, Carly considered the idea of being pregnant and
smiled. She then called Kelly to make an appointment.
When Jason mentioned to Sonny that he suspected Ian didn't act alone in
Michael's shooting, Sonny got angry and said whoever it was would pay. Jason
informed Sonny that someone was siphoning money from Ian's bank accounts. An
eavesdropping Claudia entered and asked what the guys were talking about.
Sonny ushered Claudia out, then asked Jason who he thinks is after Ian's
money. Jason wondered if it could be Ric and explained his reasoning. Sonny
called Ric and asked him to come over.
Tracy met with Spinelli and was angry that he couldn't come up with anything
on Ethan. Tracy barked that The Jackal had no right calling himself a
private investigator. Spinelli said he'd pursue the matter further. "I want
to know everything about Ethan Lovett," she demanded. "Why not just ask me?"
said Ethan, who stumbled onto the scene. Spinelli tried to cover but Ethan
stated that his behavior indicates he's lying. Tracy then told Ethan that
she'll find out what his agenda is, no matter what.
Claudia met with Johnny on the docks and told him it's time to re-join the
organization. Johnny was still angry about Claudia's plan to get pregnant.
She pointed out that Johnny even said it was only inevitable that Sonny
would find out about her involvement in Michael's shooting. Johnny scoffed
that Sonny would probably kill him anyway but Claudia said not if she's
carrying his child. Claudia left and Maxie came upon Johnny. Maxie told
Johnny that she knows he still loves Lulu and broke up with her for her own
good. She told Johnny that if he wants to break up with Lulu, that's fine,
just doesn't use her as an excuse. Maxie was worried that Lulu would
sabotage her relationship with Spinelli. Johnny told Maxie she'd better
leave or he'll kiss her, and kiss her he did. Maxie kissed back. Just then,
Spinelli walked by and saw them making out on the dock. He was crushed.
Lulu bawled on the couch when Tracy came over to discuss Ethan. Tracy was
thrilled to hear Lulu and Johnny broke up and ordered Lulu to stop crying
and act like a Spencer. She then asked for Lulu's help in finding out
Ethan's agenda.
In his apartment, Ethan made a mysterious phone call, then came a knock at
the door. it was Lulu asking for a poker rematch. "How the hell did you find
me?" he barked.... Carly showed up at Mercy and found Claudia speaking with
Kelly about getting pregnant.... Ric arrived at Sonny's, where he and Jason
confronted him and accused him of being in cahoots with Ian. When Sonny
demanded answers, Ric gave up Claudia and confessed that she was the one
working with Ian.
