General Hospital Recaps
GH Week of January 21, 2008
Monday
Logan and Lulu were tied to pipes aboard the Zacchara supply ship. Meanwhile, Johnny sneaked into the ship's boiler room. Lulu flashed back to kissing Johnny and defended him from Logan's threats, but Logan insisted Johnny's a bad guy, even as a wounded Johnny spread black powder (apparently left over from 1868) in the boiler room. On shore, Jason ordered Max to take out the Zacchara ship. When Spinelli told him Lulu is aboard and Johnny is attempting to stop the shipment, Jason called for a boat to take him to the Z ship. Jerry reported to the Mystery Man, who threatened to undo a favor he did Jerry in the past if that shipment didn't arrive safely. Jerry then became "Moreau" and called Johnny, who wouldn't play ball. In fact, he was just about to ignite the powder and sink the ship when a gun stopped him. In the "supply room," Logan slipped his bonds and jumped the Monk and Thug when they came into the room, then Jason (and Johnny) arrived and shot the Thug. Apparently, Jason stopped Johnny from sinking the ship until Lulu could be rescued, and now he was determined to finish the job. Johnny touched off the powder, but was overpowered by the Monk, who fled, leaving Johnny stunned. On shore, Lulu watched in horror as the boat exploded, apparently taking Johnny with it.
In Bensonhurst, Sonny asked Kate Howard and Connie Falconeri to be his wife (anywhere else that would be bigamy, but in Port Charles it's just Monday). He offered a ring and told her, "I know who I wanna be with. You have my heart." She insisted it wasn't that simple. Despite being on his knees, he warned he would not beg, so if she can't say yes, don't bother saying no. She fled, sobbing. Kate wandered the deserted streets while Sonny went to the empty movie theater (Yes, Brooklyn has far fewer citizens now that it's a soap town) to recall long-ago dates. He dialed Bernie and ordered him to buy Fortunato's. Sonny then "renovated" by torching the place. Then he threw away the engagement ring.
At GH, Kelly suggested that maybe one of the Quartermaine's faulty condoms (history — yay!) was to blame for Robin's pregnancy, and advised her to tell the father he's been exposed to HIV. In another exam room, Patrick suggested a brain tumor is making Nikolas see realistic hallucinations. Robin arrived to suggest experimental hormone therapy, but Nik only wanted to talk about those hallucinations. Patrick was sure the tumor could be removed and the hallucinations would stop. Alone, Nik told Emily he has to choose: Do nothing and die, or have the operation and lose Emily forever. A self-sacrificing Emily kissed him goodbye and disappeared. Robin told Patrick she's "healthy enough for two." Elsewhere, Leo told Elizabeth that Jake can go home but she cannot, because he's worried that she (a nurse) might burst her stitches. Later, Lucky brought Jake to visit. When she said Dr. Julian wants her to stay in the hospital, Lucky volunteered to watch the kids. "They're my sons," he noted. In the locker room, Patrick and Leo seemed to compare bare chests before changing the subject to Leyla. Leo urged him to give the sexy nurse a shot, especially since that HIV test he just ran showed Patrick wasn't exposed when the condom broke with Robin. Robin walked in at that exact moment and overheard; aghast, she fled. Patrick said the night of "grief sex" meant nothing. He acknowledged that while he loves Robin, they don't agree about kids; he'll move on when she gets pregnant from a sperm bank. Robin tracked down Kelly to tell her she doesn't want anyone to know she's pregnant — including the unnamed father. During a musical montage, Nik saw Emily again, and Jason resisted visiting Liz.
Tuesday
Harper warned Mac to stay clear of the case against Johnny to avoid tainting it. Felicia suggested a new angle, but Mac didn't want her butting in. The results of the DNA test on Georgie's killer were left on Mac's desk. Mayor Floyd and Scott wanted to talk to the DA, but Alexis was covering because Ric was out of town on personal business. He was, at that moment, visiting a house he used to live in. That house was being tended by a pretty female caretaker, who thought the house seemed sad and neglected.
After Elizabeth asked Leo for paper and pencil, Carly stopped by the hospital room to point out that Jake is no safer with Liz than he would be with Jason. In fact, Carly is mulling having Liz declared an unfit mother and both of her kids taken away. Liz begged Carly to butt out and get some therapy. Jax arrived and praised Liz's heroics while Carly rolled her eyes. Then Carly left to plan Jason's birthday party. She and Jax returned home to find Michael reluctant to attend Jason's party. Jax told Carly to stop meddling in Jason's family. Meanwhile, Sam visited Lucky, who was caring for the kids, to tell him she misses him — and to sincerely apologize for telling Carly about Jake. Lucky invited her to share a dinner of mashed peas and canned ravioli.
Lulu was searching for Johnny at GH when Tracy found her and asked her about Luke and where she's been. Logan helped her cover, then quizzed her about her deep concern for Johnny. Elsewhere, Jerry visited the Mystery Man with the Detroit Red Wings-style tattoo, who called Jerry/Mr. Moreau/Mr. Craig Mr. Complete and Utter Disappointment. Jerry said he's tied off all the loose ends (except Lulu). The Mystery Man decided to build a new base of power, starting with the piers. At the piers, Jason was surrounded by gunmen when Trevor demanded to know where Johnny was. Jason played dumb, then ordered Max and Milo to find Johnny. Lulu arrived at the waterfront to ask Jason to search for Johnny, but Jason balked. Lulu visited an Alcazar warehouse, where she found a half-drowned, unconscious Johnny. He awakened, but refused medical treatment. Lulu visited Liz to ask about getting antibiotics with no questions asked. She directed Lulu to a supply closet, which was helpfully (and illegally) unlocked. After stealing what she needed, the thief left and Monica sneaked in to the room to nip from her flask and refill her water bottle with booze. Liz asked Lulu to do a favor in return. Later, Lucky brought Jake for another visit.
Jason arrived at Carly's place and echoed Jax's advice: Leave Liz alone, because he's made peace with the arrangement. "It's wrong," Carly maintained, — as wrong her not being able to give Jax the baby he wants. She doesn't want him to have regrets about giving up his son. A short while later, Lulu delivered a birthday gift from Liz: a pencil sketch of Jake.
Scott summoned Logan to police HQ to give him a hard time about getting a job. Then Logan noticed the file with the DNA results. In the interrogation room, Mac blasted Felicia for running out on the girls — and him. He doesn't want her help now. Trevor suspected Johnny sank the ship, and vowed to find Jason's weak spot. When Lulu returned to the warehouse, Johnny was gone. Speaking of gone, Mac noticed that the DNA evidence was gone — and decided that whoever killed Georgie stole the evidence. Outside, Alexis was jumped by a masked figure who wrapped a cord around her neck.
Wednesday
Patrick found Robin at the nurses' station and demanded to know why she was keeping things from him. He was referring to Nikolas, because Robin leaned against surgery for Nik. As they argued, Patrick eyed Leyla, which angered Robin. Riled up, he noted it's a good thing he didn't let her talk him into having children. Meanwhile, Nik told Emily he's not having the operation because he cannot bear to lose her again. Nadine entered and told him there's more to the world than people see, revealing that "it happens to me, too." She sees someone she loves, but cannot be with. In the hall, Leyla asked Nadine about her locket, but she dodged the question. Then Leyla got beeped to meet Patrick. Later, Robin told Nik surgery is his best option. Patrick found a naked Leyla waiting for him. He told her Dr. Ford was coming, which panicked her, but he was just teasing. So she slapped him and he sniped, "I've had better in the bedroom." Then he kissed her and stripped off. She stole his clothes and dumped them in a laundry bin in the hall — where Robin spotted them.
Jason sneaked into Elizabeth's room under cover of darkness to thank her for saving their son. She wondered if he wanted to take Jake. He admitted he wants to be a family, but it's best for Jake to keep the current arrangement. Later, Jason studied a picture of Jake and asked the child to forgive him. At that moment Liz awoke suddenly.
Lulu gave Johnny the antibiotics she stole. He admitted he wouldn't have been able to live with himself if he had accidentally killed her. At PCPD HQ, Mac told Maxie that someone stole the DNA results from Georgie's case. Scott suggested the killer is someone in the department. Then Mac and Scott quizzed Coop about his handling of the file. At the pier, Sam leaped to help Alexis fight off the masked man, who fled. Sam phoned for help, and Mike responded to the screams. At The Haunted Star, Johnny called Trevor to say he's in charge now, and if Trevor makes another deal, "it will be your last." Trevor told his minion he will "find her and get her here" to pressure Johnny. For now, he needs a base — which means getting Ric to surrender the piers Skye gave him. At that moment, Ric was at the beach house flashing back to an encounter with Sonny when the caretaker brought him coffee. He noted he had an unhappy childhood. She implied she had a "gift" for predicting how folks like their coffee. When they left, Trevor stepped out of the shadows and eyed the house. Meanwhile, Lulu recounted the history of The Haunted Star to Johnny, who swooned. Then he recalled his mother holding him like a child, so Lulu embraced him. He called her beautiful, but she was sure that was the fever talking. Back at the piers, Scott accused Logan of swiping the DNA file to use against Johnny. Logan warned his father to stay out of his life. At PCPD, Maxie told Coop her mother left — again. Then she told Mac. Alexis told Scott to put out an APB on Johnny.
Elsewhere, Coop pulled out the file and saw that it reported a match for his DNA. At the pier, Alexis and Sam got coincidental texts: "Now you'll die slow" and "and you'll watch."
Thursday
Lulu picked up food from Mike at Kelly's for her "and her friends." Mike told Lulu that Sam and Alexis were attacked on the docks the night before, and it looked liked it might be the same perp who killed Georgie. When Lulu left Kelly's she ran into Logan outside. Logan asked her if she's taking care of Johnny someplace. Logan said he can't control her but admitted that he's crazy about her, and expressed his hope that the feeling was mutual before he kissed her. He said he's going to work on the trust issue, and they agreed to meet later. Lulu arrived with the food and was impressed by Johnny's piano playing. "That was beautiful," she mused. Lulu told Johnny that Logan knows she's helping him, but doesn't know where they are hiding out. But Logan ended up following Lulu and eavesdropped on them. While playing the piano again, Johnny daydreamed of Lulu. Out and about, Lulu overheard Logan suggest to Scott that he knows Lulu's whereabouts with Johnny. She left before she could hear Logan tell Scott he never even saw Lulu. Scott became angry and demanded that Logan level with him so he can solve these murder cases. A frantic Lulu returned to Johnny and pulled him into a passionate kiss.
In bed, Maxie asked Coop what was on his mind. Coop said he couldn't stop thinking about Georgie. Maxie said it looked like they finally have enough evidence to nail Johnny for the crime. Coop asked Maxie if she'd like to go away with him for awhile. She didn't think it was the best time to be leaving her family. Coop said he wanted to drive to Canada and "feel free" again for a while. Maxie said she'd love to go away, but asked how long they'd be away for. Coop said they'd play it by ear. Maxie took off to shower and pack for their road trip. Jerry suggested to Coop he could use Coop's services. When Coop reacted negatively Jerry threatened him.
At the hospital, Elizabeth had a nightmare about the house fire, woke up and staggered out of her hospital bed. Robin helped put her back to bed and told Elizabeth she's experiencing a little post-traumatic stress disorder. Robin broke the news to Liz that Robin's pregnant. She shared that she's going to tell the father of her child that the baby is not his. Speaking from experience, Elizabeth suggested to Robin that she comes clean with Patrick. Leyla informed Patrick that she got a suspension because of their tryst. Patrick apologized to her and said he'd talk to Dr. Ford on her behalf. He wondered how they even found out about their tryst.
Lucky paid Sam a visit. He told her how brave she was for jumping in to help her mother the night before. Alexis thanked them for watching the kids while she was gone, then she left again. Sam expressed to Lucky her fear of losing him. He reassured Sam that despite their problems he still wants to be with her, and the two kissed. Meanwhile, Alexis told Jerry that since she's taking over for Rick temporarily as DA they can't continue their relationship because it would be a conflict of interest.
Jason interrupted Michael as he was about to take a gun out of Sonny's desk, and confronted the boy about why he was trying to take it. Michael said he wanted to protect his mother and brother. "It's what you and dad use to make people go away, isn't it?" questioned Michael. Jason tried to explain to Michael that using a gun is not a good choice. He lauded Michael for wanting to protect his family but said he's too young to handle a gun or understand its consequences. "Holding a gun does not make you a man," Jason preached, and then instructed Michael to go back to school. Jason returned the gun to Sonny's desk and locked the drawer. He then went to the hospital to visit Elizabeth. Michael returned to Sonny's office to retrieve the gun but found the drawer locked. He grabbed a letter opener and prepared to pick the lock, but thought better of it and left Sonny's office, just as Jason returned to observe him leaving empty-handed.
Jerry called Trevor and told him that Jason was behind the explosion on his ship. The two argued over the terms of their business dealings. When Trevor said they should meet Jerry hung up on him. Ric had a flashback as he visited the outside of his childhood home. He ordered some food at the nearby diner and made small talk with the waitress. He noticed a scab on her lip. She said she tripped while walking. Their talk was interrupted by Trevor, who asked to talk to his son alone. Trevor pressed Ric to buy the waterfront property for 50 percent more than it's worth, but Ric continued to turn him down. Trevor said he's trying to build his empire. "You are my son. Whatever I have will one day be yours," Trevor suggested. Ric mused that he might give the property to Sonny. An annoyed Trevor scolded Ric and told Rick he should be a man and sign the documents to take legal possession of the waterfront properties from Skye. He warned that he's a walking target so long as the papers remained unsigned. The waitress eavesdropped on their conversation. After Trevor left the diner, the waitress told Ric she wished that families could get along. She said her own family died when she was very young. The waitress teased Ric for being dressed so formally and buttoned up. She suggested that he go take a walk on the beach to clear his head. Ric returned from his walk on the beach with a new flannel shirt. The waitress noted that the tags were still on the shirt. As the two playfully maneuvered to remove the tags Trevor observed them through the window from outside.
Coop returned home and found Logan reading the DNA lab report Coop had secreted away in his lock box. "What the hell is this?" Logan asked Coop.
Friday
Logan confronted Coop about possessing Johnny's DNA report. Coop said he lifted it from the police station when it arrived from the lab. Coop said he thought it was funny that Logan has yet to ask him if he killed Georgie, but he denied being the text message killer. Logan said serial killers are usually pretty twisted. Coop asked Logan why he couldn't believe him now after everything they had been through together in the war. Logan asked Coop if he's innocent, then who does he think the killer is? After some more cat-and-mouse discussion (including veiled threats that each one still knows secrets about the other), the two parted company. Coop had some coffee downstairs at Kelly's, where Mike reprimanded his employee, Daniel, for being late again. Coop recognized Daniel as being one of the caterers during Nikolas' Black and White ball.
Lulu told Johnny that Logan told his father about his whereabouts so they have to run ASAP. Johnny said he's not going anywhere. Johnny asked Lulu if she's sure that he's not the killer. Lulu said yes. Johnny called Lulu on her certainty with Logan. "So how can you be so sure about me?" Lulu said because she knows him. "You don't know me at all," Johnny sternly challenged. Johnny asked Lulu if he explicitly heard Logan give them up to Scott. Lulu said no. Johnny said he's willing to bet his life that Logan didn't give them up because he loves Lulu too much. Johnny told her he doesn't want to be a number two or play second fiddle to Logan. He said he also needs to figure out if he can love without going to the point of obsession, like his dad. Johnny told Lulu to leave, and said if he's right he'll still be there when she returns. Lulu left and ran into Logan. She asked him if he ratted her and Johnny out to his father. Logan said no. Lulu asked why. "Because that would be the surest way to lose you," Logan said. Lulu admitted she was pleasantly surprised. The two stepped into Kelly's for hot chocolate. Logan asked her if she'd like to go back up to his place afterwards...but just then they heard a scream coming from Maxie upstairs.
Lucky called Elizabeth at the hospital to wish her well. Liz talked to Lainey about her nightmares from the house fire; she blamed herself for what happened. Dr. Devlin arrived at the hospital to check things out before he began his job on staff. Meanwhile, all the female staffers at the hospital were checking him out. Devlin had a run-in with Epiphany, who was not impressed by his charm. The female staffers were intrigued when they observed that Devlin and Patrick know each other. Lucky asked Sam to consider moving in with him to be safe while the killer is still at large, and also to pursue the potential between them. Sam hesitated but Lucky asked her to focus on the present. He told Sam to close her eyes and fall backward, and trust that he'd catch her. She did, he caught her, and they began to kiss passionately. Their kiss was interrupted by a phone call — the police have a lead on Johnny. Lucky asked Sam to stay and watch the kids until Audrey arrived. "I trust you with them," he said before dashing out. Elizabeth returned home to find Sam tending to the kids.
Michael met with a couple hoodlums on the docks. Then he went to the hospital with Morgan in town to start collecting money for a bogus charity. Michael and Morgan stopped by Kelly's to get Mike to contribute. Leaving Kelly's, Michael gave Morgan his "cut" from their fund-raising and the two boys ran off. Michael met up with the hoodlums again, and gave them all of the money he collected in exchange for a gun. "She's all yours," the hoodlum said to Michael.
Kate came by Sonny's office and asked Jason where Sonny was. Jason thought Sonny was with her in Manhattan. Carly barged in and declared Sonny is MIA and demanded to know from Kate "what she did with him." Carly flipped out in worry about Sonny. Kate revealed to Carly that Sonny had visited her. Carly became enraged and asked Kate where was the last place she saw him. Jason said his driver last saw him in Bensonhurst. Carly demanded to know from Kate what the two of them were doing there. Kate told Carly they went to dinner and a movie. Carly demanded to know what happened the last time they were together. Kate revealed that Sonny proposed. A shocked Carly refused to believe it and demanded to see her ring as proof. When Kate kept quiet and didn't produce a ring, Carly concluded that Sonny "wised up" about Kate and changed her mind. Kate left, and Carly unloaded on Jason. Jason told Carly that Sonny is entitled to have some happiness, even if Carly disagrees with it. She then nagged Jason about being a father to his son. He exploded on Carly and lambasted her for always coming down on people too hard if they're not doing what she thinks they should be. A tearful Carly said she only wants all three of them to be happy but something always gets in the way. Jason agreed but added that "something" is sometimes Carly. She tearfully excused herself. Kate returned to Sonny's office to get her gloves. She knocked on the door and asked Jason if she sees Sonny to tell him....just then the door opened and Sonny appeared. "Tell him yourself," he said to a shocked Kate.
Trevor spoke with his associate on the docks, who reported there's an APB out on Johnny. Trevor said it wouldn't be a bad thing if the police picked up Johnny, because then maybe "she" would come out of hiding. He then reminisced about "her" and her clumsy ways and her "crappy red sneakers," and wondered and hoped if "she" had developed a sense of class and style over these years. The associate returned later with the news that they now know where "she" is.
