GH Week of August 10, 2009

Monday

At the lake house, Kiefer exploded in front of Molly and broke a glass object. He then covered and said he was just worried about Kristina. Just then, Alexis walked in and asked, "What's going on?" Kiefer smoothly apologized for breaking the glass. He told Molly that he wouldn't worry about "K" if she wouldn't, then left. Alexis gave Molly a big hug. Alexis assured her daughter that despite the murder accusation she's facing, she was innocent. Molly worried what would happen to her if Kristina never came home and Alexis went to jail. Alexis calmed her daughter.

Outside Jerry's apartment in Mexico, Jerry nabbed Sam before she could enter and held her at gunpoint. Jerry then took Sam to an abandoned church. Sam said Jerry wouldn't hurt two kids but Jerry assured her that he'd cover his tracks. Jerry noticed Sam had Jason on her speed dial and asked if they were going to get back together. Sam's attempt to escape proved futile. Jerry then had Sam call Jason and give him her location. She shouted, "It's Jerry!" into the phone before Jerry grabbed it away from her. "The game is only beginning," Jerry grinned. Jerry then threw Sam into a room with a bed and a fireplace and teased her that the room was prepared to match her "talents."

At her apartment, Olivia beseeched Dominic to leave the Corinthos organization. She stated that she was fearful of Dominic's cover being blown. "It's a little late for you to decide you don't want me to be a cop!" he shouted. Just then, Sonny showed up. Dom ducked out the window and Olivia let Sonny in. "Where is he?" Sonny asked. Sonny meant Johnny, which relieved Olivia. Sonny wanted to know why Olivia told Dominic at Kelly's to stay away from him. Olivia barked that she didn't want to watch another young man flush his life down the toilet with a life of organized crime. She ordered Sonny to get out and Sonny complied.

In the apartment, Kristina liked the idea of them getting jobs at a resort in Cancun. Michael, however, was suspicious of Jerry's motives for helping them. Michael stated that he had a memory of Jerry by his bedside during his coma. The kids compared notes about what their parents have said about Jerry in the past. Kristina stuck up for him but Michael suggested that they strike out on their own. "Who are you going to trust?" Michael asked his sis. "Jerry or me?" Kristina wrote Jerry a note as Michael packed a bag. A bodyguard, however, refused to let the kids leave.

At the Scorpio house, Spinelli knelt before Mac to ask for Maxie's hand in marriage. Mac said absolutely not, which infuriated Maxie. She did not like the idea of Mac running her life. Mac pointed out that Spinelli works for an organized crime syndicate and is a danger to her. Maxie told Spinelli that if he has a question for her, he should ask her directly. Lulu tried to point out that Maxie was getting carried away, to no avail. As everyone chimed in, Maxie told Spinelli to ask her again. Spinelli got down on one knee and proposed ... and Maxie said yes. Patrick tried to calm Mac down. As they gang argued, Patrick asked, "How about dinner?" When Spinelli took the ring from Maxie to place on her finger, Mac pulled out handcuffs and threatened to arrest Spinelli. It didn't matter, as Spinelli slipped the ring onto Maxie's finger. Patrick and Robin pulled Mac out of the room. Alone, Spinelli thanked Maxie for sticking up for him. When he hugged her, Maxie realized what she'd just done.

Dominic went to Sonny's house and met with Claudia. He said he was sorry for her loss. Johnny entered and Dom apologized to him for walking in on John and Olivia earlier. When Claudia called Liv a slut, Dom replied, "What'd you just say?" Dominic stuck up for Olivia but then backed off. As they three argued about Olivia, Sonny entered. The guys said a Zacchara shipment was coming in tonight. Sonny sent the two to go make sure everything ran smoothly. At the docks, Johnny and Dominic intercepted the drop and claimed the shipment in Sonny's name. When the cops came, Dominic told Johnny to flee while he took the rap. Lucky arrived and busted Dominic.

Nikolas joined Elizabeth at Kelly's, where he apologized for flirting with her at Jake's the other night. He admitted that he likes Liz a little more than he should. Liz stated that she didn't want a few drunken kisses to ruin years of friendship. Nik agreed, kissed her on the cheek and left.

Sonny apologized to Claudia for the way he treated her during her pregnancy. He offered to cook dinner for her. Claudia was touched.

As Jason arrived at the church, a strange man entered the room where Sam was handcuffed to a bed and stated, "You better be worth what I paid Jerry for you."

Tuesday

Spinelli was ecstatic when Maxie accepted his marriage proposal, even though Maxie immediately deferred on a wedding date. Robin and Patrick offered their congratulations and pressed Maxie for a date. Robin then suggested that the reason why Maxie might want to get married is because she's pregnant, prompting Spinelli to faint. Spinelli recovered and Maxie assured him that she is not with child. Afterward, Patrick and Robin discussed Maxie's situation with Emma. Robin thought Maxie and Spinelli were perfect for each other and hoped that Emma would find a nice guy like him. Patrick agreed but was hoping that Emma's future suitor would be, "less weird."

At the warehouse, Johnny hid while Dominic took the rap with the cops for the drug shipment. Lucky arrested Dominic and took him into custody.

In Mexico, Michael tried to convince Kristina that they were being held hostage. "Why would Jerry do that?" she asked. "We're trapped," Michael stated, stressing that they needed to escape before Jerry returned. Michael realized there was only one guard and he started to plan their getaway. Later, Krissy started screaming. Michael pounced on the guard when he came in and Michael shouted for Kristina to run.

At the abandoned church, Jason arrived and had a shoot out with Jerry. Jason demanded to know where Sam was, but naturally, Jerry wouldn't give up any details. Jason managed to sneak up behind Jerry and get the upper hand on him. Jerry got away as gunshots rang out. The two men struggled and a portion of the church came tumbling down on top of them.

Kate visited Olivia's apartment and because Liv was cleaning so intently, Kate realized that she had just had a fight with Sonny. "Sonny is making his way back into your life," Kate warned her cousin, "And sooner or later, you're going to have to tell him about Dante. "Leave it alone," Olivia shot back. Kate replied that she didn't want to argue. They then reminisced about their Coney Island days in their youth and Kate expressed regret for turning her back on her family.

At the PCPD, the ADA, Louise, believed that Alexis was guilty, as Diane spoke up in her friend's favor. Mac then shared the news of Spinelli's proposal; Diane was tickled. Just then, Johnny called and asked Diane to take on Dominic's case, as that's what Jason would have advised. Diane marched back into the squad room demanding Dom's release. In the interrogation room, Diane quizzed Dom about his activities but he wouldn't spill any details. Later, when Louise came to speak to him, he gave her a phone number to call. Later, Mac came in and called Dominic, "Detective Falconeri."

At the penthouse, Maxie and Spinelli agreed not to start wedding planning until Jason and Sam returned with the kids. Johnny entered looking for Jason and the couple broke the happy news. Johnny was surprised and asked when the big day was. "Soon," responded Spinelli. "Not for a while," blurted Maxie. When Kate learned of the engagement, she told Maxie that she planned to publicize the event in Crimson, and has even chosen a wedding date. Kate insisted that Spinelli get a makeover and Kate starting rattling off details regarding dates, dresses and locations. In order to call Kate off, Maxie said that they were getting married on September 21.

When Jerry asked if Jason had any final requests, Morgan responded that he wanted proof of Claudia's involvement in Michael's shooting. Jerry claimed it was an accident and declined to incriminate Claudia. Jason refused to accept Jerry's answer as the truth. Jerry then shot Jason in the leg and bid him farewell.

At The Haunted Star, Tracy showed up seeking Ethan's assistance. He thought it was about tracking down Luke but she stated she wanted information. "Tell me everything you know about Rebecca Shaw," Tracy demanded. Tracy and Ethan stared at Rebecca and Nikolas across the room, partaking in games of chance. Tracy suspected Ethan knew more about Rebecca than he was saying. Ethan hinted that Rebecca was more interested in the Cassadines than the Quartermaines. When Rebecca rebuffed Ethan's advance, he made a mysterious call. Later, Lucky showed up and Ethan said he had a confession to make.
