General Hospital Recaps
GH Week of December 7, 2009
Monday
Dante told Jax he's tired of being jerked around and Jax warned him that Olivia is afraid for his life and may be about to spill the beans. Jax pressured him to nail Sonny. "You don't call the shots, Jax," Dante said, saying Jax had better stay out of it or he'd bring him up on charges, too! At Sonny's, Olivia saw his romantic set-up for her and balked at telling him the truth about their son. Sonny bade her sit down and they reminisced about Bensonhurst over wine and salad. (Olivia knew he'd wooed many, many women with his salad dressing and dimples.) Sonny leaned in to kiss Olivia again and Dante walked in on the close moment. Later, Jax went home and Carly told him about Lucky questioning her. She admitted she should've listened to Jax and told the truth about Michael from the outset. She worried about Michael being a "tough guy" and following Sonny into the Mob. She didn't recognize her son anymore! Jax comforted her as best he could. Back at Sonny's, Olivia got her things together and fled and Sonny chided Dante for the interruption. Later, Dante caught up with his mom, scared by her strong feelings for Sonny. She assured him Sonny would never hear the truth about his job from her. At Sonny's, he assured Jax that the truth about Michael killing Claudia wouldn't come out.
Rebecca spied Elizabeth and Nikolas getting busy at Wyndemere, while Lucky questioned Michael and Carly about Claudia's disappearance. Michael insisted Lucky wasn't going to make him feel guilty about his MIA stepmom. At the empty Haunted Star, Luke walked up on a worried Tracy and Ethan "conspiring behind my back." Ethan asked who'd killed his puppy and he noted his "firstborn" was troubling him. Back at the meeting of Cheaters Anonymous, Liz got dressed for her walk of shame and told Nikolas "what we feel is not real. It's just going to go away...burn out." Nikolas disagreed but Liz wanted it to stay a dirty secret. Speaking of dirty secrets, Carly continued to stonewall a concerned Lucky about Claudia. Back on the Star, Luke told Ethan and Tracy that Lucky was in for some hard knocks because he'd put a "pink cloud" around Elizabeth. They warned him to back out of Lucky's business since no good ever came of it. He went for a drive (with a few drinks in him). Later, Rebecca showed up to do shots with Ethan and "applaud" him for his instincts about Nik, and Lucky told Nikolas that he and Liz were back on the wedding track. Genius detective that he is, Lucky couldn't pick up on how his brother had tumbled Liz on the very couch he was sitting on! Back at the Star, Rebecca opened up to Ethan, who offered to rearrange Nik's face. Rebecca felt sorry for Lucky, the only decent one of the bunch. The Decent One confided in Nikolas about his wishes for Liz. Nikolas pretended he wasn't jealous and guilty. Later, Ethan called Lucky over to the Star to tell him that Rebecca said Nikolas and Elizabeth are "both phonies and users." "Elizabeth?" boggled Lucky. As for drunk Rebecca? She interrupted Liz reading to the boys to tell Jake and Cameron her own grim fairy tale about what she saw at Wyndemere!
Jason searched Franco's studio, finding the coat that the hobo from the gun battle wore and then seeing the chalk outline. He called Sam to join him ASAP. "What a psycho. Is this supposed to be art?" she boggled of Franco's digs. The dynamic duo was mighty puzzled by what Franco wants from them but went through the loft piece by piece...as Franco (or at least his hand) watched from the shadows. Meanwhile, Maxie showed up at the penthouse, where Spinelli updated her on their Franco investigation. Maxie seemed worried about Jason breaking Franco's body parts! She spied Franco's address on Spinelli's files, kissed him and bolted. Back at the studio, Sam theorized to Jason that Franco is "trying to reach out to you as a fellow artist."Jason asked her to check out the neighborhood, noting he needs to face Franco alone. Dramatic music cued up the big moment. Jason raised his gun...

Tuesday
Lucky wondered why Rebecca would call Elizabeth a phony. "Maybe Rebecca felt threatened by Rebecca?" posed Ethan. Lucky tried to explain his take and Ethan continued to pussyfoot around the exact truth. Luke walked in on his "male progeny" bonding. Ethan told Lucky that Luke is worried about him. Lucky knew Luke's issues were about him marrying Liz again. He told Luke that he's aware that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results but he IS insane. After all, he's Luke's son! Across town at Liz's, she swept her boys away to bed, and then Rebecca continued to needle her about her affair. "You make me sick," she snarled, wondering how Liz could marry the same man repeatedly only to cheat on him. Liz asked her to cool it for Jake and Cam's sake, but Rebecca wasn't moved. After all, Elizabeth didn't consider her kids while jumping Nik's bones! "You and Nikolas are faithless, sex-obsessed pigs," she accused, citing both Jason and Courtney as examples of their villainy (What'd she do? Read our online recaps?). Aboard the Haunted Star, Luke was about to tell Lucky the truth when Nikolas walked in...and a furious Ethan tackled him. Back at Liz's, she tried to bluff and guilt Rebecca into staying mum but Becks wasn't having it! Lucky would know the truth before the night was done! At the Star, Luke broke up the brawl and Lucky left, letting Luke mediate his brothers. Too bad frantic Liz called Nikolas to tell him Rebecca knows and he bolted out. Then Elizabeth had a vivid fantasy of her kids being taken from her and given to Lucky/Rebecca and Jason/Sam, respectively.
Out on the road, Nikolas was on his cell phone and he plowed into someone! There was a feminine shriek!
Jax called Dante, revealing he had recorded Sonny incriminating himself in Claudia's death. On his way out, Carly walked in with Josslyn, offering them some quality time together. Dante told Lulu he had to meet up with Jax and she was shocked that Jax knows his secret. She noted that Carly wouldn't like Jax pulling strings to get Sonny jailed. Back at Chez Jacks, Carly, Jax and Josslyn shared some adorable quality time. While they were off putting the baby down, Morgan helped himself to Jax's cell phone. Jax freaked a little when he saw Morgan messing with it. Back at Jake's, Dante and Luludiscussed Jax and Carly's marriage and how the lies could affect them. Later, Michael showed up to get his drink on. Coleman wasn't impressed by his posturing or his threats and urged him to follow in Sonny's low-key footsteps instead of throwing his flimsy weight around. Back home, Carly hated how fractured their family had become. Jax tried to comfort her but then left for his meeting with Dante. Dante told Jax that he'd broken the law obtaining that recording and Jax played the damning evidence for him.
Maxie showed up at Franco's studio and came face-to-face with gun-toting Jason. "Am I too late? Did you already kill him?" she asked. Jason wondered how she'd found the address and she said she'd gotten it while at his "mancave" with Spinelli. As she babbled, Jason assured her he hadn't offed Franco but warned her that Franco is "sick" and capable of murder. (Oh, the irony!) Jason told Maxie that Franco had probably killed before and that she'd just been a way for the artist to get his attention. Moments later, Spinelli arrived. Maxie insisted she was just trying to keep Jason from killing Franco because she needs him for Crimson. Spinelli begged Maxie to stop pursuing Franco and hustled her out of the studio. Jason kept waiting for his blind date with Franco but ended up pulling his gun on Sam instead! Jason and Sam commiserated over their conundrum while back at Jason's penthouse, Spinelli chided Maxie for her recklessness. All four of them tried to suss the Franco situation out. Maxie told Spinelli she wanted to focus on their relationship and assured him she loves him. Meanwhile, Coleman called Jason to tell him Michael was headed for trouble. At Jake's, Michael had started quite the bar fight. Lucky appeared in cop mode and Michael gave him 'tude. A stony Jason cut short Michael's churlish display!
Wednesday
Cameron asked Liz why she was crying and she admitted she did "something really bad." Out on the road, Nikolas emerged from his car: He'd hit Rebecca! "You bastard!" she gasped. Meanwhile, Edward gave Elizabeth a picture he'd found of her and Emily as teens and wondered why she and Rebecca hadn't hit it off. Speaking of hits, Rebecca was in agony but still swearing she'd tell Lucky the truth! At Liz's, she explained to Edward that she feels Becks is taking advantage of everyone's love for Emily. Then, Nikolas called to tell her that he'd struck Rebecca. Liz and Edward rushed over to GH. Liz feared Nik had hit Becca on purpose and he assured her it was an accident. He then promised he'd make Rebecca stay mum about their affair. Later, Edward told Nik, "You are a curse," raging about how the "maniac" had run Rebecca down. On cue, Lucky sauntered in to investigate the case involving his brother and Emily's lookalike. Monica tried to calm Edward as Lucky went in to question Rebecca but got nowhere. Nikolas updated Elizabeth, as Rebecca began to wake up and call for Lucky...
At GH, Robin traded brief greetings with a bystander (Scott Reeves) before Lisa told her she was looking into a permanent gig at the hospital. Lisa worried Robin might feel a bit weird about having Patrick's ex there. Patrick walked up on the gals discussing him. Mystery guy continued to read his magazine in the ER lounge as the trio talked. Epiphany interrupted the confab as Rebecca was rushed into the ER. Lisa and Patrick wanted to operate immediately while Robin wanted to let the drugs work. Patrick got huffy when the stranger offered his input, demanding Epiphany throw the "idiot" out of his ER. The idiot introduced himself as Steve Webber, new Chief of Staff! Awk.Ward. Steve explained that Monica had asked him to take the position from her. He then reunited with his teary sister Liz, wondering what's wrong with her. Steve was looking forward to stepping into his grandfather's shoes, but the topic quickly changed to Elizabeth's mysterious woes. Later, Monica, Lisa, Patrick and Robin all looked at Becca's test results, realizing she needed an operation stat!
Michael sassed both Jason and Lucky at Jake's, which only made Lucky more suspicious. "I'm just trying to find out what happened," he said. Michael called Lucky a traitor to his family, and Jason ordered him to the car. Alone, Lucky warned Jason that Michael is slipping up. Across town, Jax played his recording of Sonny for Dante...just as Sonny walked in! Jax quickly covered, claiming it was about guarding the kids. After Dante left, Sonny and Jax went a few rounds about where Michael should live. Jason
rassled a surly Michael into Carly's house and laid down the law. "You're acting like a little bitch!" he snarled. "Quit disrespecting the people who are trying to protect you." Jason added that he was done spoiling Michael and forced him to stand up and apologize to his mother. Michael did so, but noted Jason had no respect for cops, so why should he? Alone, Jason apologized for failing Carly. She acknowledged that it was on her to get her son under control. Sonny warned Jax that if he didn't back off he'd get Carly to cut Jax out of her life. As for Dante, he caught up with Lulu and further compromised his case by telling her all about the recording. Later, Sonny wasn't concerned by Jason's report of Michael's behavior. In fact, he thought Jax was the Deke to Michael's Sonny and the kid would be better off living with him! Jason asserted that Jax would never hurt Michael, explaining that the real threat to Michael was Franco. Carly and Jax caught each other up and he assured her he's "always on your side." Carly just wanted them all to be a family. At Sonny's, he told Jason to get rid of Franco ASAP. Later, Jax met up with Dante again and deleted the incriminating recording. Carly would "never forgive me for this," he noted, leaving the task of taking Sonny down solely to Dante. At home, Carly tried to get through to Michael. She wanted to confide in Diane. Michael told her he wasn't confessing. Sonny had told him how to handle this and he insisted, "I'm learning." He sauntered out, leaving Carly stunned.
Thursday
Carly showed up at Sonny's to talk about Michael. She was determined to make sure the truth about Claudia came out, and Sonny said she was overreacting. He insisted there was no case to be made for Michael committing justifiable homicide. Carly didn't buy his assertion that the Zaccharas would want revenge. Out and about, Dante appreciated Lulu keeping quiet about his case. Then, he saw Franco's graffiti and suddenly recognized it as the work of an artist he'd busted while a rookie. (When he was, what, 12?) Surly Johnny showed up at a closed Jake's, demanding a drink. He opened up to wiseman Coleman about his Olivia woes. When Olivia herself showed up, Coleman warned Johnny to "be grateful for what you got." Back at Casa Corinthos, Sonny insisted the cover-up was the way to go. Carly realized that Sonny is proud of Michael following in his footsteps. Each parent accused the other of destroying Michael's life. Sonny asked Carly to stay quiet and she tearfully said she'd find another way to save her son. Dante tried to remember more details about the scruffy loon he'd collared and enlisted Lulu's help sneaking into the PCPD's database. At Jake's, Johnny and Olivia hashed out their issues. Olivia regretted involving Johnny in the Dante debacle. And she admitted she couldn't stop having feelings for Sonny, so Johnny could
take her as is or end this. Johnny knew he should run, but admitted, "I've always been a little nuts" and kissed her! Meanwhile, Dante snuck into police HQ and Lucky caught him looking up case files.
Elizabeth walked into Rebecca's hospital room. Rebecca and Lucky were just making casual conversation, but Liz was still rattled — especially when Rebecca talked about Nikolas' strange behavior of late. She continued to needle Elizabeth without saying anything overt. When Lucky emerged, Ethan questioned him about whether Nikolas had deliberately plowed into Becks. He leveled the same claim at Nik himself. The Dark Prince swore to Lucky that it was an accident. Nearby, Steve popped in to Rebecca and they made nice — until Liz walked in! Then the claws came out! Alone, Liz told Steve her rival is a "miserable bitch" and he realized there's more to it than that. Later, Steve urged Rebecca to work things out with his sister. Then Ethan came by to cheer Rebecca up. Over a game of gin, she gently dashed his hopes for a relationship. Then, Nikolas came in and Rebecca baited him about his dirty affair!
Franco set out chips and dip and even lit white candles for his romantic date with Jason (no, your recapper is NOT kidding). He also made sure his I Heart Jason stalker corkboard was prominently displayed...and then shot his ringing cell phone to shut it off. At Jason's penthouse, Max gave his report, telling Franco's object of affection that Franco is waiting for him. "What if you're walking into a trap?" Sam asked Jason. (Well, at least he gets snacks, right?) As Jason loaded his gun (what, no wine or flowers?), Sam reiterated what a wack-a-doodle Franco is and begged Jason not to play Franco's game. Jason refused to avoid Franco, especially since Franco knows the truth about Michael. Sam continued to freak out with "what if"s as Spinelli walked in. She tried to get Jason to don a bulletproof vest for his assignation. "Maybe he just wants to be friends!" defended Spinelli of fellow oddball Franco. Jason kissed Sam, told her not to worry, and headed out. Then, Maxie came to Jason's "mancave," claiming she wanted to make the ugly digs over. Sam called her on trying to "compensate" and Maxie confessed to a "momentary lapse in judgment" with Franco. She didn't seem to get that Franco was dangerous. Sam blasted her for obsessing over having slept with Franco — and Spinelli overheard! At Franco's studio, his scene was set. He'd even dressed Aunt Harriet the dummy for the occasion (red silk cravat, a vest — quite lovely!). Jason walked in, stunned by the set-up. "Welcome," Franco grinned as Jason pulled his gun. "Can I call you Jason?"
Friday
As Nikolas squirmed, Ethan pressed Rebecca for why she'd been so eager to get to Lucky. Becks asked to speak to the Dark Prince alone. Nikolas asked her what she wants from him. At the nurses' station, Steve showed Elizabeth a mistake she'd made with a patient's medication and told his distracted sis to sign out and go home. Later, he came by her house to try and get to the root of her screw-up. She told him all about her dirty affair. Back at GH, Rebecca sang Lucky's praises to Nikolas. She'd let Nikolas have his shot with Liz, if she could have one at his sweet, earnest brother! Nikolas scoffed at the idea that she was what his brother deserved. Becks warned him that if he got in her way, she would "bury you, and your little slut, too." Later, Nikolas updated Elizabeth on Becca's stance. "Is that bitch insane?" Liz gasped.
Lucky caught Dante in the file room at the PCPD. Dante admitted he was on a "personal mission" and asked Lucky to look the other way. Instead, Lucky checked what Dante was looking at, quickly realizing the guy he knows as thug Dominic is Olivia's son and a cop. Lucky put the pieces of Dante's mission together far faster than the mysteries of his own love life. Sonny asked Diane to help bury the Claudia investigation and Olivia walked in. Diane castigated Sonny for "courting" another woman so soon after Claudia's death as it would look bad. Olivia stressed that she's seeing John Zacchara and walked out. Bitter Sonny told Diane to stop acting like his mother. She told him to stop acting like a teenager. Instead of taking her advice, Sonny deliberately sent Johnny to Pier 17 so he'd miss dinner plans with Olivia. Back at the station, Lulu burst in and tried to cover for Dante, and the guys cracked up. To Lulu's chagrin, Dante then told Lucky they're dating! Lulu got all huffy and ranty, which only cemented that she has feelings for Dante. Lucky then booted his sister out so he and Dante could look up the graffiti artist. A little searching the database and, sure enough, they came up with a photo of Franco! At the Metro Court, Johnny showed up with a rose for Olivia and canceled on dinner. "Let me guess: Sonny," Liv surmised. She then got word of a demanding guest wanting to see a manager. Yup, it was Sonny, with a romantic set-up!
Spinelli overheard Sam and Maxie discussing her hookup with Franco. At Franco's studio, he offered Jason an array of snacks, beer, champagne, etc. But Stone Cold would not be wooed. He wondered why Franco was so into him. "Why the Hell not?" the enraptured artist beamed. Sam apologized for being judgmental of Maxie, admitting that she's worried about Jason. Maxie explained how she'd gotten caught up in the moment. Spinelli left, devastated. Sam told Maxie that Franco is dangerous and she was lucky to have walked away unscathed. At the studio, Franco raved about Jason's body of wetwork. He wanted to share trade secrets! "We're the same," he tried to tell an uncooperative Jason, offering him some spinach and artichoke dip. He continued to gush about Jason's "art" like a fanboy at Comic Con. "You wanna know if I saw you kill Claudia Corinthos!" he finally surmised. Franco munched on chips, continuing to bait Jason, who refused to play. Franco then cited killing Joey Limbo as cleaning up "Morgan the Magnificent"'s mess. The loon actually thanked Jason for leaving him the task and then suggested he and Jason team up. "I work alone," growled Jason. "You want answers? Play nice!" demanded Franco. Jason tried to suss out how much Franco knows about Claudia's death and Franco blasted him for his clumsy methods that night. Meanwhile, Maxie tracked down a downtrodden Spinelli at Jake's. As Jason moved to leave, Franco stopped being coy, talking about "first times" and how Michael will "never get over killing his father's wife."
