General Hospital Recaps
GH Week of August 25, 2008
Monday
Maxie was horrified when Spinelli was hit by a car during their stakeout. She was frantic as she called for an ambulance and until the paramedics arrived.
Kate was horrified that Sonny got blood on her reception dress, citing that it's bad luck. She begged a disbelieving Sonny to participate in a series of rituals to prevent any bad luck from occurring. Kate wanted to trash the dress but Sonny did his best (with kisses) to persuade her to keep it. She said she'd consider it. Later, after they made love, Sonny said, "If this is being cursed, bring it on." They then discussed how superstitious the gang from the old neighborhood was. Kate recalled playing Snow White with her cousin when they were girls and when they broke a mirror, their grandmother freaked out. Later, Sonny made a call to Gloria Cerullo and said he needed to ask, "A big favor."
At the PCPD, Lulu created a scene when she had another hallucination of Logan and started screaming. Lucky rushed to his sister's aid. Lulu then shut down and said nothing; Lucky ushered his sister out. As she sobbed that she didn't want to leave Johnny, Scott barked that he was having Johnny transferred to Pentonville. Claudia grilled Johnny about what was wrong with Lulu. Johnny explained that Lulu was upset but Claudia suspected there was more involved. Johnny stuck to his story that he, not Lulu, killed Logan. Trevor burst in and told Johnny he'd be defending him. Claudia and Johnny wanted Ric but Trevor barked that Ric is on vacation with Molly and is not answering his cell phone.
At Wyndemere, Nadine was thrilled to waltz with Nikolas, despite her klutzy tendencies. She fantasized hat it's more romantic than it is. Nadine was having the time of her life — until she got paged to G.H.
Sam lurked on the docks waiting for Karpov's next shipment. There, she saw Jerry talking to Karpov.
At G.H., Matt alienated Leyla when he made a joke about the nurse Patrick had an affair with, not knowing it was her. Just then, Spinelli was rushed in and Maxie refused to allow Matt to treat her injured friend. She did, however, let him run some tests.
Jerry showed up at Alexis's office and planted a smooch on her. He brought dinner and poured Alexis a glass of wine in an effort to get her to relax. Just then, Sam interrupted the impromptu date. She bid a hasty adieu and left. Alexis asked Jerry if there was anything going on between them. Jerry stated that Sam is, justifiably so, still wary of trusting him. Jerry poured on the kisses and Alexis told him he'd have to go, since she had work to do. She did however, enjoy the dinner that he left behind. Later, Alexis caught Claudia snooping in her office.
Nadine arrived at G.H. and Leyla filled her in on Spinelli's condition. She, too, was leery of Matt treating the injured Jackal. Spinelli regained consciousness and begged Maxie not to worry his granny. It was obvious he was in a lot of pain but he asked her to stay by his side. Matt returned with Spinelli's test results. He had a ruptured spleen and needed an operation. Nadine blurted out, "Say no!" Matt took her to task but Elizabeth backed Matt up, saying that Spinelli needed to go into surgery. Spinelli put the decision in Maxie's hands.
Lucky took Lulu back to Shadybrook, where he filled Lainey in about Lulu's disastrous trip to the PCPD. Lulu barked at Lucky to leave her alone and Lainey ushered him out. In the hall, she told Lucky that Lulu's getting worse. Afterward, Lulu went to visit Laura and vented. Lulu was elated when Laura stroked her head and said, "Mommy's here."
Tuesday
At Shadybrook, Laura stunned Lulu when she revealed that she's been drifting in and out of normalcy for a while now, but didn't allow the doctors to alert her family for fear that they would have to suffer through losing her again. Lulu found her mother's renewed presence an enormous comfort during this tumultuous time. Later, Carly visited with Lulu and, unaware of the change in Laura's condition, feared that her young cousin may be losing her grip on reality and shared those concerns with Jax.
At G.H., a hesitant Maxie reluctantly gave Matt the go-ahead to operate on Spinelli in order to remove his ruptured spleen. During the surgery, Nadine questioned Matt's methods one too many times and was thrown out of the operating room. Afterward, Epiphany reprimanded Nadine and told her that although Dr. Hunter may not be the most personable man, he is a doctor nonetheless and should be given respect. Maxie fretted the entire time, but was elated to learn that Spinelli pulled through the surgery. When Matt cautioned that he's still in critical condition, an angry Maxie slapped him and barked that she'll destroy him if anything happens to her best friend.
In the PCPD interrogation room, Anthony visited with his incarcerated son. The meeting was tense and Johnny lost his cool when Anthony stated that he wanted to put Lulu on the witness stand to actually show the jury just how mentally unstable she is. Afterward, Nikolas offered to help Johnny, who privately worried that Lulu would confess to killing Logan if she's forced to
take the stand and testify against him. Johnny considered Nik's offer.
Later at Alexis's office, the DA was about to have Claudia arrested for snooping when Nikolas showed up and sprang to her defense. He mentioned to Alexis that she turns her head on Jerry's dirty deeds and would be wise to do the same for Claudia. Alexis reluctantly agreed.
Determined to save her brother from prison — or worse — Claudia tracked down Ric in New York City after finding his number in Alexis's office. She found him in bed with a blonde, whom she assumed was a prostitute. Claudia promptly dismissed Ric's new lady friend — who was actually a lawyer — and demanded that he cut short his vacation and return to Port Charles to defend Johnny. Ric said he's not interested, but Claudia seductively promised to make it worth his while if he does.
Concerned about the increasing tensions in the escalating drug war in Port Charles, Jerry went to see his brother and warned Jax to keep Carly away from Russian drug kingpin, Karpov.
Later, Jerry grew more suspicious of Sam's behavior and he decided to pay her a visit at her apartment. Sam, who was in the middle of comforting Lucky, decided to let Jerry in to get more information on his relationship with Karpov. Lucky hid in the closet and listened to their exchange. Jerry wanted to see just how far Sam would go to keep him away from Alexis.
Wednesday
Matt informed Maxie that Spinelli's infection was spreading. "This is all your fault," she charged, but Matt defended his medical prowess. Maxie vowed to a sleeping Spinelli that she'll rip Matt's life apart if anything bad happens, which Matt overheard. Matt couldn't help but be affected by Maxie's words. Later, Patrick checked on Spinelli, then tore into Matt for being too inexperienced to perform the operation. Matt blamed Spinelli's infection on bad medication.
Ric succeeded in stopping Johnny's transfer to Pentonville, which ticked Scott off. He riled up Claudia by vowing to send her brother to prison. Ric
confidently claimed to Scott and Alexis that he'll get Johnny acquitted of murder and encouraged them to drop the charges. Alexis tried to plea bargain, but Ric turned her down. Losing confidence in Alexis, Scott had her removed from the case and planned to prosecute Johnny himself. Ric was stunned and Claudia was concerned. She advised Johnny to cooperate fully with Ric. "You need to trust him," Claudia insisted.
Kate arrived to discuss business with Jax and was surprised to find him in bed with Carly. Kate was humiliated when Jax revealed that he knew she lied
about Carly trying to sabotage a Crimson meeting just to "undermine my marriage." Jax warned he would replace Kate if she ever lied to him again while a smug Carly looked on. Kate apologized and left. Carly was grateful that Jax believed in her enough to not just take Kate's word at face value.
Diane told Sonny that she confiscated the wedding invitation to Jax and Carly for Kate's sake. "It's bad luck to invite your ex-wife to the wedding, especially when you're still having sex with her," Diane pointed out, but Sonny insisted that he and Carly "are done." Diane strongly suggested that Sonny respect Kate by un-inviting Carly. Later, Mike pointed out that his son has never been able to stay away from Carly, but Sonny insisted he would remain faithful to Kate. Later, Kate confessed her foiled scheme against Carly to Sonny. He wasn't happy about it but advised Kate to let it go. She was determined to smooth things out and decided Carly and Jax should come to the wedding.
At G.H., Patrick asked Anna to help him to sway Robin to accept his proposal. Robin arrived and was peeved to find Patrick with her mom. Robin's family and friends all thought she was making a big mistake by turning down Patrick's marriage proposal. "We are not getting married," she insisted. Anna left so the kids could sort things out. Robin was convinced she couldn't have a successful marriage because her parents didn't work out.
Sam explained to Lucky that she needed to go after Jerry but promised to proceed with caution and was surprised when Lucky appeared to be jealous. Meanwhile, Jerry reiterated his warning about Karpov to Jax and Carly. "I'm out of it," Carly insisted.
Anna asked Mac to encourage Robin to marry Patrick. Elizabeth, Lainey and Kelly all ganged up on her about saying yes to Patrick's proposal. Robin was angered that no one was on her side about the issue and Patrick's smugness didn't help.
After making love, Jax and Carly decided they should attend Sonny and Kate's wedding after all. Meanwhile, Kate tried to convince Sonny that Carly and Jax should attend, as well. Each women gloated about rubbing their own happiness in the other's face.
Thursday
Kate was enthralled when she laid eyes on her wedding gown but was outraged when Sonny walked into the room and wanted to see it. She rushed over to him and covered his eyes. Sonny told Kate he wanted to whisk her away to the Caribbean but Kate was still stressed about the superstitions. Sonny convinced her to take some time off from wedding planning. She agreed but said she wanted to go to Sonny's island instead. Kate confessed that she wanted to go there so she could erase his memories of sharing it with Carly. Sonny didn't want Kate to be catty but she stated that it was important for their future to make new memories of the place. Sonny agreed.
At Metro Court, Karpov caught Carly and Jax kissing and creepily leered at Carly while engaging Jax in small talk.
At G.H., Maxie was relieved when Spinelli woke up. She volunteered to find Jason for him after Spinelli expressed concern for the missing Master.
Monica, Edward and Alice visited Lulu at Shadybrook, and she had another vision of Logan. Edward demanded a doctor immediately. Monica tried to calm Lulu and realized she was hallucinating. Lainey came and filled the Q's in on Lulu's condition. She assured them the staff was doing everything possible to help the troubled girl. Lulu visited with Laura, who was able to calm her daughter. Lulu then informed her mother that she fulfilled her wish from their last encounter. She assured Laura that she did not kill Rick Webber — Scott did. Laura was stunned by the revelation. She apologized for burdening Lulu with that info but Lulu stated she was happy to help her mom. Lulu then confessed to killing Logan, and filled her in on their history together and Logan's history with Scott. Laura stood up and gave her tearful daughter a hug.
At the PCPD, Claudia arrived to see Ric. As she flirted with him, Johnny
entered and told RIc to keep his libido in check and focus on his defense. Claudia told her brother that he doesn't have to like Ric, just work with him. Claudia warned Johnny that his means of protecting Lulu would end up getting the girl killed.
At G.H., Robin gathered her friends and asked them to back off from trying to convince her to accept Patrick's marriage proposal.
A medicated Spinelli fretted about Jason and had a dream that he was suave and sophisticated and wooing over Karpov's attractive attorney, Sasha. In a James Bond-ish sequence, Leyla arrived and took out Sasha while he sipped a martini. In his sleep, Spinelli told attending nurse Leyla that she was great.
Maxie sent deceptive texts to Diane and Bernie summoning them to the coffeehouse in order to get word to Jason about Spinelli. They minions were angered and Maxie threatened to cut off Diane's supply of couture if she didn't contact Jason. Bernie couldn't believe that ploy worked but Diane stated that Maxie was right — Jason would be angry if Spinelli was in trouble and he was not alerted. Diane then pulled out her cell phone.
Patrick was squabbling with Matt when Robin got on the public address system and told the entire hospital how wonderful Patrick is and how much he means to her. However, she added that she doesn't want to be married to anyone and so, the answer was still no.
Sonny took Kate to the island and she fell in love with the place.... Jax
went to Alexis asking for someone's visa to be revoked.... Karpov caught up with Carly and warned her to keep Jax in line.
Friday
Spinelli called Jason from the hospital and filled him in on his accident.
Mid-call, Jason arrived in his hospital room in person and Spin explained
that he'd pushed Maxie out of the path of an oncoming car. Spinelli
suspected that Sasha was involved and revealed that she'd paid him a visit.
Leyla soon stopped in and assured Jason that Spinelli would be fine. Jason
told her to make sure Sasha didn't return. Later, Spinelli told Elizabeth
that he was worried about Jason and Sasha.
Karpov hit on Carly, but she turned him down. Jax assured her that he'd take
care of Karpov.
In Shadybrook, Lulu broke down as she embraced Laura and told her about
killing Logan. Laura tried to comfort her and believed the killing was an
accident. Meanwhile in the jail, Claudia implored Johnny not to give up on
getting out of prison. Trevor arrived and insisted that Johnny stay quiet
while he got his son out of jail.
On the island, Kate and Sonny relaxed in bed together after making love. She
was impressed with him for making such a good life for himself. He replied
that what he really wanted was her. Later, she refused to accept gambling
money from him for the casino. She agreed to go with him, only if she go to
use her money and he promised not to rig any games. He did, but after they
went, she accused him of rigging them after all. He swore that she was just
lucky that night.
At the hospital, Robin asked Maxie for advice on Patrick's marriage
proposal, but Maxie replied that she was too stressed about Spinelli to
think clearly. Later, Anna arrived at Patrick's request, which annoyed
Robin. Anna encouraged Robin to accept. Meanwhile, Patrick asked Spinelli to
help him and Anna make a Web broadcast. In the broadcast, Anna stated that
Rpbin didn't necessarily need to follow in her footsteps since Robin and
Patrick loved each other.
Maxie screamed when Matt grabbed her. Jerry tried to help by holding Matt at
gunpoint. Maxie stated that Matt wasn't bothering her and Jerry let him go.
Liz admitted to Jason that she was jealous about Sasha. "I want us back,"
she stated.
