General Hospital Recaps

GH Week of March 10, 2008

Monday

Lucky was not pleased at Ian's interest in Sam.... Cassius informed Epiphany that Spinelli uncovered the fact Stan was killed by a drug dealer named Moreau.... Jax told Jerry that Carly's pregnant. Jerry was thrilled but concerned.

When Mike was overtaxed at Kelly's, Marianna jumped in to take care of the customers. A relieved Mike offered her a job on the spot. Marianna accepted but was later shocked to see Randy at one of her tables. Randy threatened her with deportation unless she left with him — That's when Ric stepped in and told Randy he'd be the one leaving. Ric informed Randy that he called in a few favors and got Marianna her citizenship so he had nothing more to hold over Marianna's head. Randy stormed off in a huff.

The tattooed man Jerry has been doing business with was revealed to be Ian.... Sonny asked Kate to stay with him while she recuperates. She stayed mum about Claudia.

Trapped in the padded room, Johnny continued to write music. When Sonny arrived, Johnny asked if Sonny realized that he was telling the truth about not kidnapping Michael. Sonny had Max and Milo rough up Johnny and threatened to break his fingers, but Sonny eventually backed down. Instead, Sonny gave Johnny 24 more hours to live. Max feared that Johnny might be telling the truth but Sonny refused to hear it.

Emily told Nikolas that he needed to have the brain surgery but he still refused. After he collapsed, Alexis entered and called for an ambulance. Nik was rushed into the E.R. and Nikolas begged Robin not to perform surgery on him. As Patrick planned to operate, Ian snuck in a moment with Nik and asked him why he didn't take the experimental drug. Meanwhile, Patrick told Robin he didn't want her to scrub in, citing the baby's health. She replied she'd take precautions and he relented.

Trevor ordered an associate to find Johnny. Later, Trevor was at the site where Sonny was holding Johnny captive, but Trevor couldn't find Johnny anywhere.

Lulu visited Logan at G.H. and apologized. Scott entered and blasted the girl who put his son in a coma, Just then, Logan squeezed Lulu's hand. Patrick leapt to Lulu's defense and said Logan responded because of her. Lulu threw it back in Scott's face about Rick Webber and told Baldwin in no uncertain terms that she wasn't leaving. Scott swallowed his pride and left the room. As Lulu poured her heart out to Logan and asked him to wake up, Johnny called.

A hospitalized Jason asked Elizabeth what she was doing at Sam's apartment when Diego grabbed her. She said she went to tell her about the night of the accident. Unbeknownst to them, Lucky was listening at the door as Elizabeth spilled all the details. The guilt was eating her alive, she told Jason. He told her not to speak up until they're sure she was the true culprit. After Lucky walked away, Spinelli showed up with information for Jason about the punks who sold Michael the gun.

Peg counseled runaway Michael and encouraged him to call home, stating that running away from one's problems only makes things worse. When Michael pointed out that he shot his father's girlfriend, she reminded him that it was an accident.

In the O.R., Nikolas feared Emily wouldn't show up. She did — and kissed him good-bye.

Tuesday

Michael opened up to Peg about his guilt over accidentally shooting Kate. Peg was comforting and encouraged him to call home.

Sonny vowed to Max that unless Michael was returned, "Blood will be
spilled." Meanwhile, as Johnny snuck in a call to Lulu, Trevor discovered where Johnny was being held but did nothing to help free him. Sonny returned, furious that Johnny used his one call to Trevor to phone Lulu instead. He said, "If you want crazy, keep me waiting!"

At G.H., Scott caught Lulu on the phone with Johnny and chewed her out. Lulu threw Rick Webber's murder back in his face and said he's not one to pass judgment on anyone. As they argued over Laura, Lulu blurted out that maybe she should tell Luke the truth about Rick. Lucky entered and Lulu nearly spilled the beans, but didn't.

Elizabeth was pleasantly surprised to walk in and find Marianna working at Kelly's. Outside Kelly's, Ric called for a restraining order on Randy for Marianna but didn't want her to know, fearing it would upset her. He entered and was uncomfortable seeing Marianna getting chummy with his ex-wife. Ric asked Liz not to make waves. Later, Marianna told Ric that he can stop protecting her. Then, he pulled out a gift. Marianna said she didn't want to know what it was, but didn't really mean it as they playfully tussled over the box.

Bobbie brought a newly-aged Spencer to G.H., where Alexis told Bobbie about Nik's condition. She wondered why he put off the surgery. Alexis mentioned his unnatural fixation on Em.

As his visions of Emily faded, Nikolas fought going under sedation in the O.R. He blurted to Emily, "I want to go with you!" As Nik flat-lined, he dreamt of Emily at the Black And White Ball. As they wandered through Wyndemere together, Emily told Nik their time together was over and vowed to show him all he'd be missing. Em begged him not to neglect Spencer. He said he wouldn't. Em told Nik he was going to have to choose. "Don't ask me to choose between you and my son," he barked. "I'm asking you to choose life!" she urged. Hearing Spencer's voice, Nik snapped back to life on the table. As he struggled, Nikolas accidentally knocked pregnant Robin to the ground.

Sam asked Lucky if there were any leads in her hit and run. Lucky was
unnerved, then said they're still investigating. Ian burst in and said Sam would not be going anywhere with him. Lucky was miffed, then Alexis called with the news about Nik. When Lucky left, Sam told Ian that his outburst wasn't necessary. He said yeah, but he knew she liked it. Sam smiled.

After Spinelli located video footage of Michael on piers on the day of his disappearance, he informed Jason, who then told Sonny. Liz caught Sonny in Jason's room and begged the mafioso to let Jason recover in peace. "He gave you his life," she told Sonny. "Don't take his hands." Sonny shooed her out and expressed his frustration that Jason was injured and unable to be of use to him. Afterward, Sonny burst into Crimson Pointe and said, "This has to end now." He told Trevor that if Michael's not returned in 24 hours, Johnny dies.

Wednesday

Jason felt bad he couldn't hold Elizabeth due to his bandages.

At Crimson Pointe, Claudia burst in as Sonny confronted Trevor. "What have you done with my brother," she demanded to know. Claudia called off the guards and demanded answers about Johnny. Sonny said he wants his son back. When Trevor argued with her, Claudia threw him down on the desk and made it clear who was in charge. Trevor and the guards were dismissed, and Claudia told Sonny that this matter was between just them. Claudia tried to convince Sonny that neither she nor Trevor took Michael but Sonny refused to give up Johnny.

At G.H., Patrick rushed to Robin's side after Nikolas accidentally knocked her down. He rushed her out, just before Nik jumped up off the operating table and grabbed a scalpel. Nadine managed to talk Nik into giving up the knife and she escorted him out. Later, when he calmed down, Nadine asked why Nik chose to live. Just then, Spencer ran into his arms.

Alexis noted that Lucky didn't like the way Ian hovered over Sam.

Lulu visited Logan and talked about cars and auto parts. Then, Scott arrived and said, "I don't want you doing this." Scott lamented that neither of them knows Logan well. Then, he changed his mind and said, "You put him here. You bring him back."

Spinelli was surprised when Maxie proved able to help him locate Michael's last whereabouts. The two intrepid investigators then hit the docks in search of clues. They found the boat Michael hid out on, thanks to Maxie's sleuthing abilities. "The Jackal" was impressed, and they shared a warm moment. Maxie decided to leave, and told Spinelli she knew he'd be successful. Spinelli returned to Jason with his new information. Jason then decided that Spinelli needed to do more snooping, much to Spinelli's chagrin.

In the padded room, Johnny's pen ran out of ink. Then, Milo dragged Johnny out of the room and threw him into a new, desolate location.

Jason summoned Sonny to discuss his theory that Michael shot Kate. He mentioned the gun oil in Michael's backpack but Sonny still wasn't buying it. When Jason had Sonny recite his last words to Michael about guns ("You better run and keep on running."), it began to dawn on Sonny that Jason could be right. Jason left Sonny with the advice not to do anything with Johnny that he may regret. Sonny then found the punks who sold Michael the gun. They denied culpability and were panic-stricken by Sonny's threats.

As Nadine told Alexis that Nik is going to have make his own decisions regarding the surgery, Nikolas met Ian in the hospital basement to discuss him taking the experimental drug. Ian returned with a vial that he said wouldn't cure the tumor but Nik would continue seeing Emily. He also
acknowledged the drug was illegal in the U.S. and he'd deny any culpability if caught. Nik agreed, then Ian wanted to know what was in it for him.

Robin and Patrick quarreled about him taking an active part in their baby's life. He was angry she was pushing him aside. She said even he admitted that he's not father material. They agreed they still loved each other and didn't want to hurt each other but seemed to have reached an impasse.

When Trevor told Claudia she was going to die alone, she said maybe, but that he'd die first.... Kate went to Monica with an unspecified problem. Monica ran some tests and they came back problematic. Later, Sonny went to the hospital to visit Kate, and found a note on her pillow.

Thursday

Jax tried to comfort Carly, who was still worried about a missing Michael. Carly feared the worst. Jax suggested they contact the police. Meanwhile, Peg urged Michael to do the right thing and tell his dad that the shooting was an accident. Michael replied that Sonny had told him that if he ever found Michael with a gun, he'd kill him. Peg relayed a story about how she
once "ran away" to her friend's house... and her father died from a heart attack while she was out. Back in PC, Sonny stated that Johnny isn't being released until Michael is found.

Spinelli called Maxie, who asked if he'd gotten any more information on Michael's whereabouts. Instead, a naked Spinelli sheepishly requested
Maxie's "fashion expertise" as he hid behind a laptop. Maxie arrived with a bag of clothes for him and shrieked when she realized he was in the buff. She handed him the new clothing, much to both their relief. He changed, but
was uncomfortable wearing the suit she'd picked out of him. However, he was pleased when Maxie complimented his appearance. Spinelli then informed her that Diego had planted several hidden bombs.

Claudia and Trevor faced off, arguing over whether the "family" was his or hers. Claudia threatened him, but he just laughed at her. He explained that the family would die without his influence. "You're a joke!" Claudia snapped. "Sonny makes you look like more of one every day." Trevor noted that she hadn't found anything she could use on him. Later, Trevor
threatened Marianna, reminding her that she's not even allowed to live in the United States. Mike introduced himself to Trevor at Kelly's; Trevor had nothing but nasty things to say to him. Mike kicked him out of the restaurant....
Alexis and Ric enjoyed a cordial meeting. She was surprised to see him having such a positive outlook on life. Later, Claudia paid Ric a visit.

Tracy asked Monica how many times she's postponed her malpractice hearing, then demanded that Monica allow her back in the house. "I don't think so," said Monica. "Think again," Tracy snapped, then revealed a red shirt she believed Monica tossed in the trash after driving drunk. Monica tried to grab it from her, reminding her how she saved Luke's life. Tracy argued that Monica almost killed him. Monica snatched the shirt and the women shouted
insults at one another.

In the hospital, Lucky went to see Jason and confessed that he overheard Jason and Elizabeth talking about how Liz believed she ran Sam down. Lucky was upset with Jason for asking Liz to keep quiet; Jason explained that he
didn't want Liz to come forward until he had all the facts straight. He implored Lucky not to tell Liz he's investigating the incident. Later, Lucky
approached Liz at the nurses' station and asked if he could borrow her car.... Patrick told Jason that there's a specialist in Seattle who could
help him. Liz overheard the conversation and asked if Jason is leaving town. After Liz tried to be happy for Jason, but was clearly upset with the prospect of him leaving.

Sonny came to the hospital and asked Monica if he knew where Kate was, but Monica wouldn't give him any information. Sonny was surprised when he came home and found Kate waiting for him. Kate explained that after the doctors removed the bullet from her body, she developed an infection that damaged
her heart. Sonny wanted her to return to the hospital, but she insisted that her condition was under control. Sonny then offered to take care of her, but Kate didn't want to be a burden. She matter-of-factly stated that the condition could end up killing her. Sonny wondered if something else was bugging her. "So much has happened," she shrugged. Kate then noted that Sonny and Kate have a way of causing each other pain. Carly interrupted them to see if Sonny had more news about Michael. She was furious about him
spending time with Kate instead of searching for their son. Carly informed him that Jax wanted to go to the cops, but Sonny refused to do that. He
urged Carly to relax, but this just made her hysterical. He assured her that Michael would be okay and that he'd fix everything. After, Carly returned home to Jax and broke down in his arms.... Kate questioned Sonny about his
relationship with Carly. She then asked if he'd slept with someone else after their fight.

Michael finally called Carly and told her he's in Port Charles.

Friday

Elizabeth entered Jason's hospital room to find Lucky there and explained that Jason had gone to Seattle to see a specialist. Lucky said he was there to ask some questions about Sam's accident and confessed that he'd overheard Liz say she was too tired to drive that night. He said he even heard her talk about the blood on her car. She admitted that she'd wanted to say something since it happened, but that Jason wanted to look into what other drivers could have been responsible. Lucky revealed that Monica's car was also stolen that night and they were looking into other leads. Elizabeth finally admitted that she had gone to meet Jason at their secret spot and had been meeting him there for weeks because he's the only person who "calms her anxieties." Afraid that Sam would reveal who Jake's father really is and destroy her family, Liz was reluctant to come forward. She asked if any paperwork had been filed on the case and if it was possible for it to be on the books as unsolved rather than document Liz as a suspect. "It would be better for everyone if I just closed this case right now," Lucky assured Liz, while Sam was eavesdropping outside.

In another part of the hospital, Alexis accompanied Sam on a little walk and they ran into Wes, her EVERDAY HEROES producer. Alexis left the two of them to talk, and Wes informed Sam that they were ready to resume taping next week — in Hawaii. Sam proposed a hospital-based show until she recovers, but Wes wasn't thrilled with her zany idea. "You're not doing the show," he abruptly announced. "You're suspended." He explained that it was just for 13 weeks and she'd have a temporary replacement, a 6-foot-1 triathlete named Tiffany. Alexis returned with coffee and advised Wes that he can't replace Sam and should have his lawyers call her. After Wes was gone, Sam admitted to her mom that she feels like she's lost everything — her daughter, her boyfriend, her job, etc. Alexis was confident that Sam would get through this and said what doesn't kill her makes her stronger.

Luke advised a remorseful Lulu that guilt can ruin your life and mentioned his regrets about bringing Rick Webber back into their lives just as Scott walked in. Once alone with Scott, Lulu explained how important Logan is to her and suddenly felt Logan's finger move. They called in the doctor, but he didn't have much more to say than sure, Logan's finger moved. Lulu was confident that Logan was responding to her and would wake up soon. Lulu promised Scott that she wasn't going to tell her dad that Scott killed Rick because it wasn't her fight to fight.

Michael made Carly promise not to bring Sonny, just as a bomb timer in the abandoned cannery continued to tick. Carly went to the cannery alone and was flooded with emotion as Michael ran into her arms. Michael tearfully confessed that he accidentally shot Kate and feared that she was dead. He explained that he was just trying to put the gun in the Dumpster and was sure she was dead when he went to check on her. Carly was shocked and disappointed to hear all this. Michael explained that he bought the gun on the docks and that Mike caught him with the bullets. Carly was furious to hear that Mike knew, and even more hurt to discover that Sonny did, too.

Claudia paid Ric a visit and introduced herself as Anthony Zacchara's daughter, declaring this his lucky night. She suggested that Trevor was on his way out of the Zacchara organization and that she was there to offer Ric a major opportunity. She soon made it clear that it was the buildings at the waterfront that she was after and suggested they join forces. He didn't take the bait but she warned him that he'd reconsider. Later, a desperate-sounding Marianna called Ric and said she needed his help.

Sonny apologized for hurting Kate, who advised Sonny that Claudia is still in town and still wearing "those dreadful heels." Sonny argued that it was just a one-night stand and she has nothing to worry about, but Kate was concerned with how dangerous Claudia is. She said it was one thing if Claudia was just some random woman from a bar, but that Claudia was an entirely different kind of woman. Kate continued to dwell on why he'd sleep with Claudia so he turned the tables on her and brought up her affair with Trevor. He admitted that he'd done some things in the past that he wasn't proud of, but that he is faithful. She agreed to trust him on that and give things another chance. Sonny expressed his feeling that he's going to see Michael again soon and that Michael may have run away after witnessing a fight between him and Carly. Kate clearly had no idea that Michael was her shooter. Sonny received a call from Claudia, who announced that she had an offer he won't want to turn down. She proposed that he give the Zaccharas the Saint Lawrence shipping lines in exchange for Johnny.

Sonny brought Johnny to the pier to meet Claudia, who was in the line of sight of a sharpshooter standing next to Trevor. Johnny told Claudia that Sonny knows they don't have Michael and is just using him as leverage. Tick tock went the bomb. Ric rushed to Marianna's side and found her with a dead Randy. The bomb's timer continued to beep. Carly told Michael that he would never be a part of Sonny's violent world and began to lead him out of the cannery. Beep beep, went the bomb. Claudia made a call to prove that they don't have Michael, and the shooter fired, just as an explosion rocked the waterfront.
