General Hospital Recaps
GH Week of July 28, 2008
Monday
At the PCPD, Sonny visited Jason in the interrogation room and Jason asked
point-blank if Sonny wanted the business back. Sonny said no but that
Jason's making some mistakes. The argument escalated until Sonny stated that
he blamed Jason for helping Carly get him to give up his rights to his kids.
Sonny stormed out. Later, Diane showed up and got Jason released. Jason
quizzed Diane about her meeting earlier in the day with Sonny. She claimed
attorney/client privilege.
Scott went ballistic on Nikolas and Lucky and accused Lulu of killing his
son. When Lucky pointed out that Logan had been stalking Lulu, Scott
countered that when Luke did that to Laura, he was considered a romantic
hero. Nik accused Scott of pursuing Lulu as a means of revenge against Luke.
In New York, Lulu kept reliving Logan's death and was unable to relax, no
matter how much Johnny tried to comfort her. He then gave Lulu a piano
lesson. Lourdes showed up at the door asking for another piano lesson, then
asked Johnny where he went to school in Chicago. Johnny was able to cover
but Lulu was suspicious of Lourdes's behavior. The interrogation continued
until Sal arrived and said he couldn't afford another lesson until next
week. Lourdes then brought up the fact that their dad was killed by the
Zaccharas. As Sal relayed the details of their dad's death, Johnny was
horrified.
Aboard Jax's jet, Carly came on strong in trying to seduce Jax. He said,
"No. Not this time. This isn't like one of our fights about the hotel."
Carly refused to take no for an answer. "Can't we just be happy together,"
she asked. Jax kissed her and they made love. Afterward, Carly revealed that
she asked the pilot to circle so Jax would miss his meeting. Jax, however,
had other ideas. Jax emerged from the back with a parachute and advised
Carly to buckle up. Then, Jax jumped out of the plane. Carly was furious.
At G.H., Anna visited Robin and surprised her mother with tickets to the Eli
Love concert. Anna refused to go, citing how shallow Eli is. Anna actually
thanked him for pointing out how frivolous she was behaving about being a
grandmother. Meanwhile, Patrick chastised Matt for wanting to hastily
operate on a patient. Matt overheard Noah tell Patrick that Anna was too
good for Eli. When Anna left, Noah was pleased to hear from Robin that Anna
refused to attend the concert. Robin insisted that for the good of Anna's
self esteem, she needs to go to the concert. Robin managed to convince a
hesitant Noah to talk to her.
Sam came into the ER with a pulled muscle. Nadine took Sam to a private
waiting area where Lucky was waiting for her. The secret lovers embraced,
then Sam gave Lucky the info she'd dug up on Karpov. Lucky told Sam it's
getting too dangerous and he wanted her to drop out of investigation but Sam
refused. “Trust me!” she pleaded.
At home, Max told Sonny that Karpov sent over a case of Russian vodka. Sonny
ordered Max to keep his mouth shut about Karpov to Jason. Robin and Patrick
showed up and Robin asked Sonny for a favor for her mother.
At G.H., as Epiphany advised Matt to check his attitude, Anna answered
Noah's page. She knew what he was about to say.
At the penthouse, Ric gave Claudia a look at Logan's war record. Apparently
he's had a history of losing his temper when it came to women. Ric offered
to build a defense for Johnny. He reminded Claudia that he also got Anthony
off the hook and could do it again with Johnny. He strongly suggested they
form an alliance. Claudia was wary but agreed. Ric said he was expecting
something else, too. "Physical contact." Claudia said that if Ric can get
Johnny acquitted, she'd sleep with him. Just then, Jason showed up and
advised Claudia not to trust Ric. In retaliation, Ric blurted to Jason that
Sonny's working with Karpov.
Tuesday
Jason didn't want to believe Ric's claim that Sonny has aligned himself with Karpov and later asked Spinelli to investigate.
At G.H., Nadine tried to make Matt think she needed money in order to get him to cut her into the drug smuggling operation.
Anna accompanied Robin to the Eli Love concert, even though she really
didn't want to see her vain ex-squeeze. Matters weren't helped any when Eli snubbed her for a younger woman. After Eli's rousing concert, Anna waited outside to give him a piece of her mind when two men in Bill Clinton and George W. Bush masks (secretly Max and Milo!) suddenly came up and held guns on Eli. However, Anna saved the day, proving she still knows how to kick butt — literally! Eli was impressed, while Robin watched nearby with a smile.
Carly surprised Jax in his hotel room but he resisted her attempts at
seduction. Carly was miffed when Jax sent her packing in order to take a
meeting with Giselle. Later, Jax's meeting seemed to be going his way when Carly showed up wearing a sexy red dress and planted herself on the hotel room bed. Giselle was impressed with Carly's perseverance and excused herself. Jax tried his best to ignore Carly and turned on the tube while she tempted him with chocolate-covered strawberries.
At the docks, Karpov revealed to Jerry his plan to base his counterfeit
pharmaceuticals operation in Port Charles, offering to cut him in on the
profits. Their meeting was interrupted with a call from Alexis, so Karpov
dialed Sam to offer her the job of helming one of his ships. After she
accepted, Sam told Lucky that she thinks she recognized the voice in the
background while she was talking to Karpov.
Claudia informed Jason that she witnessed first-hand a meeting between Sonny and Karpov and is certain that they're in business together. She suggested Jason find out what's really going on before he puts a bullet in the wrong person's head. Jason advised Claudia to stay out of his affairs. Before she left, however, she remarked that Spinelli was right when he noted the weird dynamic between Sonny and Jason. Jason can either be Sonny's friend or step up and be a bona fide mob boss, she suggested, but not both.
In New York, Johnny was wracked with guilt as Lourdes and Sal explained how the Zaccharas destroyed their family. Johnny vowed to Lulu that he'll never go back to his violent past, just as Lulu privately recalled Logan telling her, "You'll never get over me."
Wednesday
Robin joined Anna for a meal, noting that her unborn child was craving a particular item. Robin apologized for causing chaos at the Eli Love concert by having Max and Milo come after the performer. Anna didn't condone her promoting violence; Robin explained that she just wanted Eli to see Anna in action so he could understand that her being a grandmother-to-be didn't make her less sexy. Anna replied that she didn't care what Eli thought of her. Meanwhile, Eli went to the hospital, looking for Anna or Robin. Despite his handlers' badgering, he refused to leave for his tour until he spoke with Anna. Epiphany regarded him with annoyance. Soon, Anna arrived and Eli demanded to speak with her. "I want you in my life," he stated. Robin jumped in and told him to leave Anna alone, but Anna wanted to hear what he had to say. An attractive woman then arrived at the hospital ... with Eli's son! Robin introduced herself to the little boy, Elijah, while Eli argued with the kid's mother, who'd been a groupie. Anna just stood there, shocked.
Patrick joined Robin and bonded with Elijah.
Diane was horrified when Max arrived all bruised up. "I got my butt kicked by a grandma," he sighed, referring to his scuffle with Anna. Diane was appalled. After, Kate wanted to go over contracts with Sonny, but he was more concerned about whether Jason knew about his deal with Karpov. Diane replied that though she was concerned about the deal, she was about the break attorney/client confidentiality. Diane suggested that he and Jason have a meeting, but Sonny refused. He explained that he wanted to help Jason from behind the scenes, but didn't want Jason to think Sonny was undermining him. Meanwhile, Ric and Claudia discussed Sonny. Later, Karpov arrived and needled Diane; she was impressed and touched when Max defended her honor. She feared that if a mob war broke out, Max would get caught in the middle.... Sonny refused to work with Karpov if he interfered in Jason's business. Later, Karpov met with Jerry.... Sonny joined Ric for a drink. He wondered how Sonny was doing, now that he didn't have custody of his boys; Sonny engaged in the small talk, but wondered if Ric was fishing for
information on his life.... Lucky was concerned when Sam agreed to handle a shipment for Karpov.
Nadine was eager to help Nikolas out with the clinic and wanted to do more than just paperwork. Soon, Matt arrived; he and Nadine wondered if working for Nik was worth the money. Nik listened as she explained to Matt that she needed some extra cash fast. Nikolas interrupted and revealed that Nadine would be getting a nice raise. Later, Nadine followed Nik to the stables and was annoyed with him for blowing her cover with Matt. Nikolas didn't want her to put herself in danger. She was touched when he said that he cared
about her.
Johnny was surprised when Lulu arrived home with a large bag of groceries. He was even more shocked when she announced that she was going to cook him dinner. However, she freaked out when she grabbed the knife to cut the carrots. Johnny comforted her, but she noted that the cops will eventually learn she killed Logan. "It's like a nightmare I can't wake up from," she cried. She wanted to go to the police, but he urged her to just enjoy their time together. He then made her a special dinner: peanut butter and jelly.
Carly and Jax argued over their relationship while in his hotel room. She was determined to fix their marriage, but he wasn't so sure. She then handcuffed herself to him. He wasn't amused since he was about to leave for a meeting; he then accused her of not taking his business seriously. She explained that she just wanted to be with him — then revealed that she wasn't sure where she put the key. They searched for it, bickering the entire time. Finally, they had a locksmith come up to detach them. He declared Jax a lucky man for having a wife like Carly. After, Jax asked her to honor their separation, but she refused to stay away from him. "You have
to give me a reason to trust you," he said. "Tell me how!" she yelled. He replied that he needed time to think things over.
Thursday
As Eli and the groupie, Trish, got into a spat at G.H. over his denying his paternity of her child, Anna enlisted Epiphany to get the kid out of
earshot, then gave Eli a roundhouse kick to the face. Trish thanked Anna and said she was taking her story to the tabloids to expose Eli as a deadbeat dad. Patrick educated Eli on about what being a father was all about. “You're exactly what women hate about men,” Drake Jr., scoffed. Eli was plopped in a wheelchair and wheeled out. Noah told Anna that Eli was nowhere near good enough for her, then expressed to Patrick that if he lives up to what he told Eli, he was going to be a great dad. Later, Robin and Patrick wondered about the fact that their parents were growing attracted to each other. In the park, Anna came to a realization. She initially thought that last year, she was attracted to Noah because he looked like Eli. Now, she wonders, was she attracted to Eli because he looks like Noah? Unable to find words, Noah reached over and kissed Anna.
At the stables, Nadine was tickled when Nikolas said he had feeling for her, until he said he thinks of her as a sister. Saying she was irate would be an understatement. “I am a grown woman and certainly not your sister,” Nadine barked back. She chastised Nik for ruining her opportunity to get closer to Matt to dig up the dirt on him, then left.
Jason went to visit Monica, who was preparing to leave rehab. He reminded her that he wont be able to spend time with her at home, what with his new mob head duties and all. She reminded him he could still get out but Jason didn't want to argue about it.
At Metro Court, Sonny, Ric and Claudia argued about loyalty. Karpov, Jason and Johnny were all topics of conversation. “How much can any of us trust each other,” Claudia wondered aloud. After Ric left, Claudia told Sonny that she thinks he wants to get caught by Jason regarding his dealings with Karpov.
In New York, Lulu teasingly gave Johnny a hard time over his peanut butter sandwich-making abilities (or lack thereof). Just as they were getting hot and heavy, Lourdes walked in. She apologized and said she was going to leave them a note that Sal needed help with something. Johnny went downstairs and alone with Lulu, Lourdes quizzed her about her murky background and dropped innuendo about them hiding out. Johnny returned and Lourdes left. Lulu pointed out that the girl has a crush on Johnny but he said he could handle the teen. Just then, Lourdes returned for another lesson. When Lulu went to make dinner, Lourdes called Johnny by his real name. Johnny admitted the truth but Lourdes vowed to keep his secret, just as Lulu walked in.
At the Q mansion, Edward instructed Alice on prepping for Monica’s return.Scott burst in and accused Tracy of aiding fugitive Lulu. As the group started bickering, Monica entered. Scott poured himself a drink as he threatened the Q’s with legal action for complicity, then realized his drink was water. Tracy sicked Alice on Scott and he bid a hasty ado. Monica told the family to stop walking on egg shells around her but they were fearful of a relapse. The gang began arguing again. Monica was definitely home.
Nikolas and Lucky argued over Lulu’s disappearance. Lucky confided in his brother that he’s suffering insomnia and fears he may never see Lulu alive again. Nikolas pointed out all the loss they’ve endured and worried that his little brother might be losing it.
At the clinic, Matt caught Nadine in the medicine cabinet. Nadine dropped hints about money problems and Matt replied, “What the hell are you up to?” Just when Nadine was about to learn more about the mysterious doc, Nikolas barged in, told Matt to leave and ordered Nadine to stop her investigation. Nadine was steamed.
Friday
Lulu and Johnny enjoyed some fresh air as they peered out their apartment window. Johnny declared that he felt safe there, but Lulu lamented that all she's done is cause trouble. After, they discussed Lourdes and how she had a crush on Johnny. He was flattered, but Lulu feared that the young woman spelled trouble due to her connection to the Zaccharas. Just then, Lourdes stopped by early for her piano lesson. Lulu took this as her cue to leave. Lourdes assured Johnny that she could never hate him because she knew he had nothing to do with her father's murder. Later, Lulu returned home and again expressed her reservations about Lourdes, fearing that Lourdes would eventually lash out at Johnny. She and Johnny hugged; Lulu freaked out when she saw an image of Logan's bloody corpse.
Lucky surprised Sam at the clinic and they got cozy in a back room.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth came by and asked Nikolas if they could speak in the back room. Sam and Lucky overheard as Liz stated that she was concerned about Lucky. Lucky wanted to tell Liz that he and Sam hadn't broken up, but Sam wanted to keep up the ruse so they could investigate the counterfeit drug ring. Meanwhile, Nadine and Nikolas argued over him interrupting her while she was trying to get evidence against Matt. Nadine was determined to finish what she'd started with the investigation. Later, Sam did some snooping while Nadine plotted her plan of attack. Jerry then caught Sam snooping around the warehouse.
Spinelli gave Jason some information on the shipment. Kate stopped by to see Sonny after returning from her trip and was surprised when she saw him having a meeting with Karpov in the living room. Kate was pleased when Karpov mistakenly called Kate Sonny's "wife," noting that they weren't there yet, but she liked the sound of it. Karpov made a graceful exit and Kate and Sonny then began kissing and making up for lost time. However, she soon got a call and had to leave for work. She promised to make it up to him. After she left, Sonny told Max that he didn't want Kate to know that he was doing business with Karpov... Jason asked Diane if she knew anything about Karpov; she confessed that Sonny had made a deal with Karpov, but was acting in Jason's best interest. Meanwhile, Jerry and Karpov met on the docks; Karpov assured Jerry that he could handle Jason. Later, Mike paid Sonny a visit. Mike stated that he thought Kate was good for Sonny and was happy to see them getting married. After, Sonny visited Kate at the office. She decided
to cut her work day short so she could be with him.
Matt and Maxie bickered when he interrupted her doing work at home. He explained that he was searching for something, but she didn't care. They then argued over who got which space in the refrigerator. Later, Maxie ranted to Spinelli about Matt rending out Georgie's room. Maxie then asked Spin about Karpov, but he evaded her questions. Maxie insisted on him confiding in her, but he didn't want to.
Jason came upon Liz and her boys in the park. She invited him to join them, but he refused. Just then, Monica bumped into them and was pleased to see Jason there with Liz and the kids, calling it a "family portrait." Jason was clearly uncomfortable and hurried off. Liz told Monica that she and Jason weren't going to be getting together anytime soon. Later, Liz invited Lucky to join them for some family time. He was grateful to have them as a family.
Kate and Sonny went back to his place, intending to enjoy some time together. They were interrupted by Jason. "We have to talk," he stated.
