General Hospital Recaps
GH Week of June 16, 2008
Monday
At the D.A.'s office, Alexis again begged Carly to talk Sonny into signing away his parental rights to Kristina. Carly insisted that she tried that already and Sonny balked but Alexis continued to beg. Diane arrived and Carly told Alexis not to ask her again and left. Diane informed Alexis that, legally, Sonny's agreement with the boys doesn’t apply to Kristina. A
tearful Alexis thanked Diane for looking into it. Alexis then turned down Diane's offer to accompany her to The Haunted Star. After Diane left,
Anthony Zacchara showed up. When Anthony mentioned that Kristina was an easy target, Alexis kicked him out of her office.
At The Haunted Star, Maxie's appearance shook Spinelli's confidence and his cool "Damien" persona crumbled. Sonny showed up to add to Spinelli's humiliation in front of Giselle. Giselle was not impressed by Sonny or his reputation. However, Jax cleverly brought up one of Giselle's past indiscretions and they both agreed you can't believe everything you hear.
Across the room, Ric had a business proposition for Lulu, but she wasn't
interested in hearing it.
At the bar, Spinelli slammed down a few drinks and Maxie refused to let him near Giselle. Instead, she ordered The Jackal to go home.
At her apartment, Patrick began spoiling Robin, now home from the hospital. Patrick admitted he was scared for her after her episode. She thanked him for not going away when she needed him. Then, a frantic Mac arrived and told Robin she was coming home with him. Mac called Patrick a flake and pretty much said he was worthless when it came to pregnant women. Robin stuck up for Patrick and told Mac she'd be okay with Dr. Drake. Later, a furious banging was heard at the door. It was Epiphany, who informed the duo that Mac hired her for round-the-clock care for mother and child.
At the waterfront, Nikolas was furious when the mayor said he couldn't open
his clinic. Mayor Floyd cited that Nik doesn't have the proper permits and
it would take business away from other healthcare entities. Nikolas remained more determined than ever to open the clinic in Emily’s name.
Upon Jason's arrival on the docks, Jerry and Claudia shifted their conversation away from Michael's shooting and Jerry bid adieu. Later, Carly showed up at Jason's penthouse, where she complained about Alexis. Carly said that after seeing how miserable Sonny was on Father's Day, she regretted keeping Morgan away from his dad. Jason told Carly he believed she
did what was best for her children.
Claudia ran into a drunk Spinelli rolling around on the docks. Spinelli
loved being Damien and hated becoming Spinelli again. Claudia offered to take the drunk home. He hopped on her for a piggyback ride but she collapsed under his weight. Later, Jason returned home to the penthouse to find Spinelli lying on top of Claudia.
Diane returned to The Haunted Star to meet Max, where she filled him in on
the Alexis/Carly drama. Just then, Carly arrived, where Giselle was amused at how close Jax and Carly are with her ex, Sonny. Kate was not amused.
Tuesday
At the bridge, Maxie confided in Johnny that Georgie just got accepted into the foreign exchange program she’d applied to last year. After Maxie opened up about her loss, Johnny saw Maxie in a new light. Lulu was furious when she stumbled upon the two of them together. When Lulu accused Maxie of throwing herself at Johnny, Maxie countered by telling Johnny about all the manipulating Lulu did with Dillon and Georgie, then she stormed off. Johnny told Lulu that she was out of line and Lulu questioned Johnny’s fidelity to her.
At the penthouse, Jason caught a drunk Spinelli lying on top of Claudia. In his drunken stupor, Spinelli tried to explain to Jason his disastrous
attempt to be someone else. Claudia was sympathetic. Jason wanted to know why she’d take an interest in Spinelli. Claudia said a “thank you” would do. When Spinelli started getting queasy, Claudia suggested that they order a pizza to get some food into Spinelli’s stomach. The drunk Jackal agreed. Later, their pizza arrived. Claudia invited herself to stay for a slice and was irritated that the pie wasn’t pepperoni. Claudia then chastised Jason for the way he treats a loyal friend like Spinelli. However, the Grasshopper stuck up for Stone Cold. Claudia told Jason that he wasn’t being a good big brother to Spinelli. Then, as she opened the door to leave, Claudia was met by a man in a biohazard suit who informed the trio that the pizza delivery man was infected with some kind of malady and they were all officially quarantined to the penthouse.
In their Mexican jail cell, Lucky noted that Sam called herself his
girlfriend for the first time. She suggested faking an illness to bust out
of jail. Sam apologized for getting them into this mess but he blamed it all on Luke. Lucky agreed to let Sam try out her plan. When the guard came, by the fickle finger of fate, it turned out to be an old friend of Sam’s from her days of working on tram steamers. Her old pal, Francisco, allowed the jailbirds to fly the coup.
At the Haunted Star, Alexis made a scene chiding Sonny and Carly for
spreading their dangerous lifestyle to others. Jerry shuffled Alexis out,
while Giselle ate up the drama with a spoon. Jax and Kate escorted Giselle
back to the office to talk business, while Carly remained and told Sonny
that Kate is all wrong for him.
Jerry took a raw Alexis back to his room at Metro Court and assured her that he would protect her and the girls from any Zacchara threats. Jerry finally admitted to his past crimes but admitted he’s willing to be ruthless to keep her and her family safe. Alexis admitted that she fears Jerry but is
attracted to him at the same time. They kissed. Alexis noted that having
Jerry in her life was not a smart move. Jerry assured her that when it comes to the romantic aspect of their relationship, they're a good fit and he kissed her again.
At home, Jax noted that when Alexis attacked Sonny, Carly jumped to her ex’s defense. Carly assured her husband that he has no reason to worry. They kissed and made up.
At the bridge, Kate pointed out that Sonny will always be connected to Carly and that, even divorced, they’re still a team. Sonny said maybe it’s true, but Kate is the woman he loves.
Lulu sought out Maxie back at the casino and apologized, but then ordered her to stop throwing herself at her boyfriend. Maxie proposed they settle the matter with a spin of the roulette wheel. Johnny entered and was angry the women were betting him. To get back at Lulu, he agreed to go out with Maxie.
Wednesday
Alexis walked into her office to find it filled with flowers. Nikolas showed
up and asked for Alexis's help in dealing with Mayor Floyd regarding his new clinic. He then found Jerry's card and realized that Jerry and Alexis were sleeping together. Nikolas was furious and exploded at his aunt's bad judgement. "He's playing you!" he shouted. "I have bad taste in men!" she shot back. Nik said he was seriously concerned for her. Alexis asked him to give her a break and ushered him out. Then Diane entered, saw the flowers and said, "I guess we know where you were last night." Diane was dubious but she was happy that her friend had gotten some action. On Diane's way out, Jerry arrived. "Why don't you just take out a billboard?" Alexis asked him. She told Jerry to take the flowers away but he refused. He said he was honored by her choice and assured her he'd always keep her safe. They kissed.
When Patrick called Robin at home, Epiphany said Robin wasn't taking any
calls and hung up on him. Epiphany told Robin that she needed her rest.
Patrick was furious. Mac told Patrick to back off but Patrick said he and
Robin want to be together. "Tell it to Epiphany," smiled Mac. Later, when
Epiphany was at the store, Patrick snuck in to see Robin. She lamented that Epiphany was depriving her of junk food.
Over breakfast, Jax suggested that Morgan take up karate. He and Carly
finally enjoyed having a "regular" morning again.
Kate was chaotic due to the Crimson photo shoot in the Metro Court lobby. Sonny was supportive of her endeavor. Carly arrived at work and was furious to see Kate having a shoot in her lobby. Carly ordered Kate to break it up immediately. Just them, Jax arrived and found himself right in the middle. Lulu took bets that Jax would side with Carly. Kate explained that she'd left messages for Jax and need to make a quick decision. Carly accused Kate of using this shoot as a ploy to steal Jax.
Lucky and Sam woke up in the Mexican desert to find a snake slithering
towards them. Lucky told Sam not to panic. Sam shot the reptile dead. As
they had coffee by the campfire, they reveled in their time together. They
then returned to the Mexican bar but had just missed Luke, who had left them a note thanking them for bringing him the jewels.
Sonny returned home to find Ric waiting for him. Ric told his brother that
he was proud of him for leaving the mob and it was the best thing he could have done for his family. After Ric left, Trevor showed up and told Sonny he'll never be able to stay away from the mob. Trevor added that when Sonny wants to come back, he'll have to go through him.
In the Metro Court lobby, Diane told Max that Alexis won't be giving her
grief over their relationship anymore; she's sleeping with someone worse — Jerry. Then, they had a rendezvous in one of the hotel rooms.... Ric walked in on Alexis and Jerry kissing.
Thursday
At Robin's apartment, Epiphany caught Patrick visiting Robin. Patrick came up with the idea of sending Epiphany back to G.H to investigate the phony drugs that have been popping up at the hospital. Just when they had time alone again came a knock at the door. Epiphany returned and Robin laid down the law and said it's her apartment, her rules. Epiphany said, "No problem," but the parents-to-be need to start acting like grown-ups. When Patrick complained about Mac's over protectiveness, Robin explained her complex history with her uncle/guardian. Just then, Mac came knocking at the door. Robin advised Patrick to hide. Mac entered and, after berating Patrick to Robin, Patrick emerged from hiding and told Mac he was, "full of crap." Patrick insisted that he loves Robin and would not allow Mac to run him out of Robin and his baby's lives. Mac told Patrick he was under arrest and then handcuffed the good doctor.
At Metro Court, Carly insisted that Kate's motivation to disrupt the lobby for her photo shoot was personal. She accused Kate of trying to make waves in her marriage to Jax. Jax stated that since they were already set up, the photo shoot should continue. Carly swallowed her pride and allowed it.
Maxie agreed to cover for Lulu, as she left to the shoot to go find Johnny. Lulu found Johnny and apologized for betting him with Maxie. They decided to play hooky and spend the day together at the Quartermaine boathouse. Lulu said she wants to trust Johnny but she has issues. They kissed, just as Tracy happened by.
At the quarantined penthouse, Spinelli was investigating the malady that they've been exposed to and believed he'd contracted the illness. Claudia and Jason tried to keep him calm. Johnny called after getting Claudia's message. She assured him the quarantine was legit. Afterward, a bored Claudia taught Spinelli how to shoot pool. Claudia's flirting with Spinelli irked Jason and he took their pool stick away. "What?" she replied. "You want to take me on?" She called him on not giving her a chance but he still wondered if she and her family were involved in Michael's shooting. That shut Claudia up.
Ric couldn't believe his eyes when he caught Alexis kissing Jerry. Ric
informed his ex-wife that members of the press were on their way up for a photo op. Jerry exited and Alexis told Ric he needs to respect her privacy. She pointed out his bad judgment with the Zaccharas and he countered that if push came to shove, Jerry would have no problem betraying Alexis. Ric left, then Jax arrived and noted all the flowers. Alexis immediately confessed she slept with his brother. She admitted that she believed Jerry when he said he'd protect her. Just then, Jerry came back. Jerry said he was glad Jax knew about him and Alexis. Jax smiled and punched Jerry in the jaw.
Lucky and Sam returned to Port Charles. Sam was sort of depressed to be back, since they had such fun together during their Mexican adventure. She also pointed out that she understands she has to share him with Elizabeth and the boys. Sam spilled that she had apologized to Elizabeth and, surprise, Liz accepted. However, Liz was leery about having Sam around the boys, fearing it would confuse them. Lucky said it's time that they trust each other and move forward. Sam smiled and agreed.
Back at Metro Court, Kate took one of Maxie's suggestions and mentor/protégé bonded. Meanwhile, Ric bumped into Carly for the first time since Michael's shooting and he told Carly how sorry he was for what she's been going through.... At G.H., Nadine and Nikolas talked about services the clinic would offer.... Tracy burst into the photo shoot and told Carly that Lulu was with Johnny at the boathouse, which Maxie overheard.... Back at the penthouse, Jason collapsed. Claudia felt his forehead and said he was burning up.
Friday
At Robin's apartment, Mac handcuffed Patrick, read him his rights and led
him away. Robin called Maxie for help with Mac.
At Metro Court, Tracy asked Carly for help with Lulu. She told Carly that
Lulu and Johnny were at the boathouse, the same place where Lulu had gotten
pregnant. Tracy said she didn't want Lulu to get in a similar mess. Carly
said Lulu was a big girl and can make her own decisions.
Claudia and Spinelli helped a feverish Jason up after he collapsed. Claudia
then called the health department for details about what to do next. As
Claudia answered the attendant's questions, Spinelli tried to take Jason's
temperature with an ear thermometer. Jason took it and hurled it across the
room. Spinelli gave Jason some berry juice, which Jason liked and asked for
more. However, in his haste to please Stone Cold, Spinelli spilled the
"lifesaving elixir" all over himself. After Spinelli went to research the
Web, Claudia told Jason to take off his clothes and get ready for his sponge
bath.
Jerry and Jax got into an all-out brawl in Alexis's office. Harper and
another cop burst in and arrested the men for disorderly conduct.
Sonny had Max retrieve the engagement ring he planned to give to Kate. When
Max returned with the ring, he bumped into Diane. Diane misinterpreted Max's
intentions and thought the ring was meant for her. As Sonny watched, Diane
took the ring, put it on and said yes, she'd marry Max. Afterward, Sonny
ordered Max to get his ring back. Max said he thinks Diane is great but he's
not ready to get married. Max also pointed out that Sonny is not one to be
giving advice on marriage.
At PCPD, Mac told Patrick he was going to hold him for 48 hours on suspicion
of stalking. Just then, Maxie appeared with Robin in a wheelchair, who
declared, "Uncle Mac, this time you've gone to far." Robin told Mac that she
knows he's only looking out for her, but Patrick is the father of her baby
and she's a grown woman who can make her own choices. Mac released Patrick,
and Maxie and Patrick took Robin home. Once there, Patrick asked Robin to
move in with him.
In the PCPD interrogation room, Harper could barely keep the Jacks boys from
killing each other, despite the fact that they were still handcuffed.
Diane rushed into Alexis's office and broke the news that she was engaged ‹
and that she doesn't want to get married. As Diane waffled with the pros and
cons, Alexis convinced her that she needs to tell Max the truth immediately.
Tracy returned to the boathouse and broke up Lulu and Johnny's make out
session. As she lectured them, Alan appeared. The young lovers remained
resolute in being together. Alan told Tracy she did her best, all she could
do now was hope they listen. Outside, a bikini-clad Maxie arrived, breaking
up Lulu and Johnny's clinch.
Carly was furious that Kate showed up at the PCPD to bail out Jax. Kate left
and Carly demanded to know what the boys were fighting about. Alexis showed
up and assured the men that the charges were being dropped. Despite Alexis's
attempts to evade the question, Jerry blurted out they were sleeping
together. Carly busted out laughing and said they were perfect for each
other.
Diane returned to Sonny's, where she said she needed to talk to Max. As the
two stumbled over their words, Sonny managed to coax them into admitting, at
the same time, that they didn't want to get married. Diane and Max were both
relieved. However, when Diane made a comment that women of a certain age
who've achieved success aren't marriage material, Sonny paused. Just then,
Kate entered, heard the marriage talk and asked who was getting married.
