General Hospital Recaps

GH Week of August 11, 2008

Monday

Lulu shrieked as she was haunted by a vision of a bloodied Logan approaching her with a birthday cake. Johnny rushed to her side. After blowing out the candles of the cake he'd just brought to her, Johnny took Lulu in his arms. Lulu shared her fears that she'll suffer Laura's fate. Johnny chalked up her hallucinations to post-traumatic stress.

As bullets flew at the warehouse, Jason ordered squabbling Carly and Claudia to shut up. After the sniper disappeared, Carly accused Claudia of setting up Jason, but Claudia denied it. Once they were alone, Carly admitted to Jason that she believes Claudia and blames Karpov.

After kissing Nikolas at Wyndemere, Nadine started to backtrack and chatter nervously. He tried to let her down gently, saying that he's still not over Emily, but she rushed off, humiliated. Elizabeth, who arrived during the awkward scene told Nik that it's clear Nadine is falling for him. Nik admitted that he's attracted to Nadine, but he doesn't want to use her to get over his grief. Liz noted that she misses Emily too and they will help each other through it. As they shared a warm hug, Nadine returned, spotted the embrace and took off unseen.

After Sasha caught Spinelli snooping around on the docks, Maxie bust in to rescue him. She announced that she's the police commissioner's daughter and claimed that she and her "boyfriend" were just having sex at the warehouse. When Maxie started passionately making out with her "boyfriend," Sasha and her goons left. Afterward, Spinelli was frustrated that Maxie is always the one rescuing him instead of the other way around. Jason and Carly walked in arguing, Jason ordered her to keep her nose out of mob business for her own safety, then gave Maxie the same order. Spinelli vowed to Jason that he'd prove to Maxie that the Jackal is "manned up.".... At the Metro Court later, Carly and Maxie made it clear that they have no plans to mind their own business.

Karpov visited Sonny, who severed ties with the mobster. Before stalking out, the Russian warned that he's a bad man to cross and Sonny will find that out.... Johnny made a secret call to Claudia and asked her to find out from Nikolas if Laura ever had hallucinations. Claudia dropped in to Wyndemere and questioned Nikolas about Laura's mental state. He explained about his mother's catatonia. "It sounds like Lulu needs more help than Johnny can give her," observed Claudia.... At the hospital, Nadine told Leyla about the embarrassing moment at Wyndemere. Leyla encouraged her friend to pursue a relationship with Nikolas.

Shortly after Sonny assured Kate that he's done with his old lifestyle, she overheard Diane accuse her client of putting Max at risk. Diane quickly clarified that Max is overworked, which puts his romance with her at risk. Kate sided with Diane, so Sonny agreed to cut back on his bodyguard's hours.... Karpov met with Jerry on the piers. Jerry took responsibility for firing at Jason. The Russian said that he can't afford a mob war, so Jason must be dealt with.

Tuesday

Over breakfast, Patrick asked Robin what was wrong as she kvetched about missing coffee. Patrick admitted he has a feeling their baby is a boy. He went on to explain that a baby boy will give him the chance to be everything Noah wasn't. She assured him they will not repeat their parent's mistakes. Before they left for the hospital, Robin confessed to Patrick that she doesn't want to jinx anything by planning ahead and is trying stay in the moment. Patrick said they'll be fine, that she shouldn't deprive herself of excitement.

Claudia jogged into the park, ran into Nikolas and pair commiserated over their missing siblings. Nik shared some of the warning signs Laura exhibited during her descent into catatonia and asked her to let her brother know what sorts of behaviors to watch out for. He also said Johnny needs to get Lulu some mental help. A few minutes later, Anthony ring Claudia and requested she come home. Meanwhile, at the Zacchara residence, the Don said he was proud that his son gave the cops the slip, but Trevor reminded him that Johnny his also hiding from him. Trevor then expressed his anger for not being allowed to help him find the mob prince. Trevor contended that they had to send a message that Lulu has nothing to fear, that the Zaccharas would protect her too. That's when Claudia arrived. Anthony asked her to convince her brother to come home. “Vixenella” lied and claimed she hasn't heard from Johnny. Trevor blamed the whole mess on her, declaring that she should have called him after Logan was killed, but didn't do so because she is selfish. Anthony claimed Johnny would rush back to Port Chuck if he thought his sister was in trouble. Claudia scoffed at the idea, and pointed out that Johnny would see through a scheme like that. She said the only way to get him home is assure him he won't have to face a trial and that Lulu will be safe.

Alexis summoned Maxie to her office to jog her memory about the night Logan died, and confronted her with the fact that she visited Johnny in lockup and wanted to know what else she knows. Maxie gave the absurd the explanation that she tried to seduce Johnny, but did not want to tell Mac. Nikolas interrupted the meeting by telling Alexis it was an emergency. Maxie slipped out and Nik asked his aunt if he could speak to her in confidence. After Alexis reluctantly agreed, he explained that he has not spoken to Lulu, but that he heard from someone in contact with Johnny and he fears his sister is on the verge of a breakdown. Alexis said Lulu will face charges if she comes home, but if she is institutionalized charges are not likely. After Nikolas left, Trevor stopped by Alexis's office to assure her that when the Zaccharas find Johnny he will turn himself in. He also warned that Anthony will go mad if his son goes to prison.

Cody informed Jason that Karpov landed a shipment, Jason said someone tried to kill him at the docks. Spinelli burst in and announced he had binoculars and all the apparatus they'll need for their stakeout. Jason asked Cody to keep his eye on the next shipment and the ex-soldier left. Jason explained to Spin that he is trying to reserve judgment on the Karpov and Sonny situation until he has more information. Spinelli again expressed his need to prove himself beyond his cyber prowess, he needs to prove himself to Maxie. Hearing all that, Jason agreed to stake out Karpov with him. While sitting on Karpov, the Grasshopper asked Jason if could have a gun, Jason reminded him that he shot himself in the foot last time. After a while, Spin passed out and his head slammed into the horn, just as the Russian mobster came into sight.

At G.H., Matt unsuccessfully tried to bicker with Elizabeth, who couldn't be bothered. Kelly walked over to the nurses' station and told them that Robin and Patrick had an appointment to discover the sex of their baby. When Patrick and Robin arrived for their ultrasound, the dashing doc asked Liz if she knew found out Cameron and Jake's sex before they were born. Then Matt came over and recruited Patrick to work in the E.R. Robin phoned Maxie about going to see Kelly with her. While waiting for the test, Robin admitted that she is scared to death and Maxie lamented that Georgie was not there. Patrick showed up in the nick of time to find out he and Robin and are having a girl!

Claudia popped over to Wyndemere to let Nik know that her father is going full-speed ahead in his search for Johnny and asked him what they are going to do. He detailed the resources at his fingertips and explained that he already has plans in motion to get Lulu and Johnny new identities and has arranged a transportation route that will be impossible to trace. When Claudia questioned trusting Nikolas, he claimed the only way to save the pair is to help both of them get away. Meanwhile, Alexis came across Anthony conversing with Kristina in the park.

Wednesday

After passing out on the steering wheel, Spinelli came to and suddenly felt
nauseous. Jason moved him to the passenger seat and insisted on taking him
to the hospital.

Patrick and Robin were elated after seeing their baby girl on the sonogram.
Patrick was afraid that raising a girl would be a disaster but Robin managed
to ease his fears. At the nurses' station, Maxie caught Matt eavesdropping
as Kelly announced that Robin's having a girl. Maxie started sparring with
Matt, but both dropped everything when Jason came in with a light-headed
Spinelli. When Spinelli began speaking as he normally does, going on about
mystifying evildoers, Matt remarked that he's delusional and took him to an
examining room. While watching Robin and Patrick kiss good-bye, Jason and
Elizabeth wistfully caught each other's eye. Jason couldn't help but
continue to look in Elizabeth's direction as Robin raved about her impending
arrival. Maxie rushed to Spinelli's side after "Dr. Doom" scared him by
mentioning a brain tumor.

Trevor urged Sonny to call in some favors to track down Johnny before
Anthony completely deteriorates. After witnessing an awkward exchange
between Kate and Trevor, Sonny told Kate she's all he needs — well, that and
some vintage Brooklyn Dodgers memorabilia. Kate promptly made a call to
Clarice.

At the park, Alexis was shaken as she watched Anthony play with Kristina.
"Isn't it better knowing where she is every night?" he cryptically asked.
Alexis told Anthony to stay away from her daughter, then summoned Diane and
explained that Trevor urged her to drop the murder charges or Kristina could
be in danger. Alexis pleaded with Diane not to tell Jerry any of this, just
as Jerry showed up and asked "Tell Jerry what?" Diane lied that it was just
girl talk and girls don't spill, but after she left, Jerry promised to
protect her and Alexis children at any cost. Meanwhile, Trevor arrived at the
Zacchara manse to find Anthony cutting roses. He informed Trevor that he'd
made sure Alexis knows where they stand. Alexis arrived at Sonny's to inform
him of Zacchara's threats against Kristina.

Johnny came home and was spooked when Lulu didn't respond right away and
just stood frozen in the window. But soon she was back to incessantly
blabbing about her predicament. Lourdes interrupted their conversation with
a request for Johnny to fix a fuse. While Johnny was out and Lulu was
chatting with Lourdes, Lulu suddenly saw dead Logan again. Lourdes asked if
Logan was all right, and Lulu jumped out of her seat and started to freak
out, just as Johnny came back.

Jax returned home to Carly and said he couldn't stop thinking about her
while he was away. Morgan came running downstairs and told Jax how much he
missed him. Jax brought him gifts from Australia, and Morgan was
disappointed that he had to spend the night at Grandma Bobbie's. Carly
assumed they were going to have some alone time, but Jax informed her that
he plans to stay at the hotel and only came by to see Morgan. Carly was
disappointed and wanted to get physical, pulling him to the couch. Jax
requested some space from her "emotional chaos" and began to walk out. Carly
went to follow him and tripped over an electric cord, falling on her ankle.
Jax thought she was faking a sprained ankle and fell on purpose.

Thursday

Alexis relayed the story of Anthony confronting Kristina in the park to
Sonny, adding that it's not the first time.... Jax called Carly out for
faking her ankle injury and said he's resenting her for trying to
manipulating him. Carly fired back and mentioned Kate. Jax stormed out.

At G.H., Robin thanked Jason for being such a good friend and let him feel
the baby kick while Elizabeth looked on. Jason and Elizabeth traded an
awkward glance and then Lucky dropped by with the boys to say goodnight to
Elizabeth. Jason watched from afar. Jason answered a call from Sonny. Robin
assured Jason that Spinelli's in good hands and added that she hopes he gets
to be a part of her baby's life. Meanwhile, Dr. Hunter checked out a groggy
and confused Spinelli, but assured him that his health is in good shape.
Concerned, Maxie bickered with Matt. She blasted him for scaring Spin by
suggesting that he might have a brain tumor. After Matt left, Maxie told
Spin that she's lucky to have him as a great friend. Spin was clearly
heartbroken after Maxie admitted she thinks Dr. Hunter is kind of attractive
and would even consider sleeping with him.

At the apartment, Lulu continued to freak out over her visions of Logan.
Lourdes was confused; Johnny came to the rescue and poured Lulu a drink,
then told Lourdes to leave. Lulu surmised Logan is making her pay for
killing him and said she can't trust her own thoughts anymore and she feels
like she's going insane. Lulu urged Johnny to leave without her, lest they
get caught. There was a knock at the door; it was Sal, who urged Johnny to
get Lulu some help, still believing that they were "Linda and Joe."

Sam rendezvoused with Karapov, agreeing to deliver a package for him.
Meanwhile, Lucky watched a news report about Johnny and Lulu that mentioned
Lulu might be an accomplice to Johnny's crime. Sam showed up and they
kissed. Sam joked that she likes running guns and being on the wrong side of
the law. They had sex and Lucky asked Sam to move in with him after their
drug bust; she said she'd think about it.

At Crimson, Kate chided Maxie for being late. She explained she accompanied
Robin to her sonogram. Jax showed up, fresh from a business deal in Sydney.
Kate asked him out to lunch and caught him up on Crimson happenings, but Jax
was distracted by his situation with Carly. Kate backed up Jax's notion that
Carly is faking her injury. Later, Jax went home to find Carly still whining
and crying. She said she doesn't feel sexy; Jax assured her that she is,
that he loves her and said he doesn't want to be mean to her. Carly urged
him to stay and they began kissing until Kate knocked on the door, saying it
was an emergency.

Jason met up with Sonny who told him that Karapov is running drugs and their
deal is off. He told Jason that he can't protect Karapov anymore and hinted
that Jason could make his move if he wanted to. Before Jason departed, Sonny
inquired about him working with the Zaccharas and reminded him that Anthony
threatened Kristina in the park. Jason promised to tell Anthony never to
come near Kristina again. Jason felt slighted by Sonny making dirty deals
behind his back; Sonny surmised Jason is in over his head.

Back at the apartment, Johnny made a quick phone call and told Lulu he's
getting them out of the apartment to get her some help; she worried that he
would get caught if she came with him. Johnny urged her to trust him. They
hit the road for Vancouver, Canada (without passports!) and reminisced about
the first night they met. When Johnny took an unusual turn, Lulu figured out
that he's really taking her to Shadybrook. She freaked out, demanding he
stop the car.

Back at G.H., a concerned Patrick confronted Robin about her saying that she
wants Jason to be a part of their daughter's life. Robin understood and
retracted her statement, adding that she just feels sorry for Jason....
Elizabeth found Jason at the docks and tried to comfort him, adding that she
knows they can't be together but that she still loves him and is there for
him.

At the Zachara manse, Claudia told Anthony that she doesn't know where
Johnny is. He told her it's his job to keep an eye on his daughter and said
he's moving her back into the house. Claud told her pop to go to hell, and
stormed off. Later, Claudia was livid when she discovered her father had
moved all of her belongings back into the house and told him that she won't
be his prisoner. Anthony said she'll be the one who pays if Johnny doesn't
come home safe. Anthony explained that he's arranged for the charges will be
dropped. Sonny suddenly barged in, saying Anthony has made a big mistake and he will pay.

Friday

Lucky and Sam argued about her desire to put herself in the line of fire to determine who was placing the fake drugs in the hospital. She got her way after promising to call him if something went wrong. Sam met with her new
"boss". Sam tried to get info from the fella, who warned her not to stick her nose in his business. He warned that if she didn't land the shipment properly, it wouldn't be good for her.... At the hospital, Lucky learned that the cops were planning to raid the very pier where Sam was having her shady meeting.... Sam was shot at during the DEA bust and took a bullet to the stomach. "Sam!" cried Lucky.

Jax and Kate talked business at the house while Carly tried to conceal her irritation. Kate asked Jax to charm a potential cover subject, which he did easily by phone. Kate apologized to Carly for interrupting and left. Carly and Jax tried to have an honest conversation about Kate. Carly asked if Jax needed her to accept his friendship with Kate unconditionally in order to come back home. Jax said no one thing would mend their union and bade his
wife good night. Carly looked at pictures of her and Jax and flashed back to their romance. Later, she was approached on the docks by Sam's consort.

As a worried Claudia looked on, Anthony explained why he'd used his leverage against Alexis to safeguard Johnny. Sonny warned that Anthony was asking for trouble if he threatened his kids. Anthony scoffed that Sonny no longer had power.... Sonny went to see Mike to seek his opinion. He explained that
Anthony had threatened Kristina and that he feared Anthony might be right when he said that Jason didn't have the backbone to run the organization. Mike thought that Sonny was just looking for an excuse to take back the business.... Anthony told Claudia that it would be better for them if Sonny took back his power because Sonny is more volatile than Jason.... Nikolas came to tell Anthony to back off the search for Johnny. The men traded
threats before a sudden phone call sent Nik packing. Claudia jumped in the car with him and refused not to accompany him if he was going after Johnny and Lulu. Nik admitted that a Shadybrook administrator had contacted him
regarding Lulu.

On the docks, Jason talked to Elizabeth about how he'd tried to stop Sonny from going legit. He explained that he'd taken over the business in exchange for Sonny giving up custody of his children. Liz noted how much Jason misses Jake. He acknowledged it but said that he'd made his choices. Jason came to see Sonny to express his concerns about where things were heading and to reiterate that nothing he's done since Michael was shot has been out of a desire for revenge against Sonny. Kate walked in and demanded to know if Sonny was taking back the business.

Lulu and Johnny talked in the car about her desire to go to Canada as planned and his desire to get her psychological help. Lulu cried that she couldn't heal if Johnny was thrown in jail for her crime. Lulu made Johnny promise that if he brought her to Shadybook, he would go to Canada. At Shadybrook, Lulu lost her nerve. Johnny coaxed her into staying and promised to communicate with her via Spinelli. As they were saying good-bye, Scott stormed in and had Johnny arrested as Lulu screamed in horror.
