General Hospital Recaps
GH Week of October 12, 2009
Monday
Robin experienced excruciating embarrassment as Patrick and Louise came home. "Maxie is a dead man," the wigged, pink-clad doc moaned. Patrick explained they'd cut short their night to bring her Chinese and Robin explained Maxie's harebrained idea. Louise, trying to flee, tripped over one of Emma's toys and hurt her wrist. They all chuckled ruefully over the awkward evening and dug into the Chinese takeout. Louise talked about Patrick's legendary reputation and Robin listed off how he'd been afraid of commitment and babies and picket fences. He grinned, kissing his wife and noting what a family man he'd become. Louise dubbed it "very cute" and Robn drove her home...but not before giving Patrick a strange look. When she returned, she and Patrick got romantic, so her misgivings were for naught!
Lucky caught Sam breaking into evidence storage, as Jason watched from the window. Sam claimed she was just working on one of her cases and he pointed out it was still trespassing. She assured him she didn't expect special treatment, but he wanted to give it to her because of their past. Lucky admitted Sam had meant a lot to him and let slip that he and Liz are remarrying. Jason listened in, and it was hilariously awkward. Lucky guided Sam out of the storage room and Jason climbed in. Later, Jason and Sam caught up at her place and he thanked her for covering with Lucky. He said he wants Elizabeth to be happy and then told Sam he's grateful for "us." After the twinkling relationship moments, they discussed what Jason had found from the Devlin case. Maybe Ian had a safe deposit box where he'd kept key recordings! He and Sam then ended up smiling and joking around...and making out on the couch. Too bad Molly interrupted!
Dante assured Ronnie he had no intention of stopping until organized crime in Port Chuck was dismantled. Back at the Metro Court, Claudia claimed to Sonny that she was searching out rooms for Johnny. Carly looked on, amused.
Sonny took Claudia home and Carly's spidey sense was clearly tingling! Meanwhile, Johnny caught up with a teary Olivia in the alley outside Jake's. "We're not fated, John, we're over," she told him. "Too bad. I'm not giving up on you," he said, insisting he'd never been as happy with anyone as he was with her. Olivia kept trying to assure him they were finito, and he said he wouldn't let Claudia take her away from him. Olivia begged him to let her go and fled. Later, Johnny caught Carly making a shady transaction with Coleman: a paper sack full of french fries! Carly explained how she indulged only once in a while and Coleman measured the portions. Johnny, meanwhile, revealed why he's chugging tequila: Olivia! As Lulu found Dante on the docks playing stickball and waxing philosophical about his goals, Claudia and Sonny talked about Michael's anger issues. Sonny mentioned Michael's coma flashbacks and Claudia got squirrelly...so did Michael, who overheard! Dante opened up to Lulu about losing a father figure in Bensonhurst to a mob hit and noted things were finally coming around. Puzzled, Lulu surmised this was why he'd joined the mob himself and Dante let her. They both agreed that Johnny was a decent guy despite being a wiseguy. Back at Casa Corinthos, Sonny talked to Michael about Kiefer and his issues, offering to teach Michael what he'd learned about dealing with his demons. He opened up about being bipolar. Michael pointed out his own condition can't be controlled with meds and Claudia eavesdropped! Later, Claudia warned Dante he still
needs to give her what she wants and Sonny urged Michael to let his memories take hold. Michael flashed to Claudia's confession and Sonny asked to know what he'd seen. Back by Jake's, Carly cemented her place as a Johnny/Olivia cheerleader and dubbed Claudia's fixation with her brother "gross." But as she and Johnny chatted about Claudia's odd behavior, Carly experienced a contraction!
Tuesday
After Molly told Sam and Jason she was conducting a science experiment in the hot tub, Sam scolded her for using the tub unsupervised — and intruding on their privacy. Sam dismissed Molly's talk of their "passionate love" as "nonsense." Jason and Sam said they keep their relationship private. Molly suggested Sam is guarded because Jason broke her heart. Sam brought Molly home, and when she returned Jason wanted to work on the Devlin case, but Sam suggested talking about their relationship. But when Jason agreed, Sam backed off. So he insisted they talk. She suggested talking about their relationship will mess it up with nitpicking. Over at the lake house, Alexis overheard Kristina say she had gotten everything she needs, forcing Krissy to concoct a cover story about doing a project on women's reproductive rights. Then Alexis turned to Molly, who told her mother she had just walked in on Sam and Jason having sex. Back at the penthouse, Jason told Sam he now realizes how much he missed her. She said that made her happy, but also scared. Then Alexis arrived and asked to talk to Sam. She said Molly walked in on her and Jason having sex. Sam tried to explain, but Alexis was too upset to listen. She said Sam is being a bad role model for her sisters. On the waterfront, Kristina told Kiefer they have to wait a month for the birth-control pills to take effect. But he rented a room for that night, and suggested they use a condom.
A furious Michael told Sonny he doesn't want to remember anything else. Sonny started offering advice, but started shouting back at his son, so Michael stormed out. Upstairs, Dominic told Claudia he doesn't want Sonny to shoot him for sleeping with his wife. She said Dom reminds her of Sonny. And also that if he resists, she will tell Sonny he is Dante Falconeri. She insisted he meet her at the Cosmopolitan tomorrow night. Meanwhile, Olivia told Jax that Dante was pulled off Sonny's case, and now that she broke up with Johnny, Claudia will back off. A disappointed Jax pointed out that Date is closer to Sonny than any other cop ever. She accused him of not caring what happens to her son as long as Sonny is busted. After she left, Jax dialed a senator. Later, Sonny told Claudia about Michael's memories. She said "dreams" fade. Later, when Michael came home, he told her he was upset that Sonny blames himself for the shooting. She told him to forget about the memories. Then Jason burst in and demanded to talk to Claudia alone. He told her that Ian Devlin recorded all his business calls — including the one with her discussing the hit when Michael got shot. Meanwhile, upstairs, Dominic was packing to leave, when Sonny stopped but with some advice for the aspiring mob boss: Don't ever get married and have kids. In fact, he's not going to give Claudia another baby.
The Haunted Star was doing booming business when Luke and Ethan returned home. And it was all because of a dealer who looked like Luke and a bartender who looked like Ethan! Tracy called Linc and Evan her "recasts." Luke protested that the "Luke-alikes" are not needed, but Tracy snarked that Linc is better than Luke in every way. Desperate, Luke pulled the struggling Tracy into a kiss.
Outside Jake's, Johnny tried to help Carly, who screamed for help. Coleman responded with a shotgun, but when he realized what was happening, he decided to drive her to the hospital. When they arrived, the guys stayed by Carly's side while Kelly worked on her. When Jax arrived, Kelly said they may have to do a C-section and deliver the baby tonight.
Wednesday
Jason told Claudia he was not merely "implying" that she is guilty in Michael's shooting, but she remained unafraid, reminding him that what happened to Michael cannot be undone. She accused him of feeling guilty for letting Michael be hurt, then noted Michael wants to move on. Jason left to listen to Devlin's recordings, but vowed to return if he hears her voice.
Alexis told Sam that her little sisters might be learning bad lessons from her. Sam complained that Alexis micromanages her sisters, leaving them no room for self-discovery amid the pressure to be "perfect little girls." She added the girls can admit to feeling insecure and imperfect around Sam. Alexis feared that Krissy might seek advice from Sam, and make "some of the same choices" Sam made. Alexis wants them to have stable relationships, not the dysfunction of Jason and Sonny. Alexis admitted she's hardly a good example herself. At the hotel, Kiefer was all over a nervous Kristina. She admitted she wasn't sure how to have sex, and he offered to show her. Later, he thanked her for trusting him to be her first. Then he got a call and rushed off, leaving her feeling alone. Later, Michael found Kristina crying alone outside the lake house. She was afraid her mom will disown her because she's like Sam — wild and irresponsible. (But she didn't tell him why she feels that way.) She asked him to help her pull it together before she went inside. Alexis asked about her project on birth control, and mentioned Molly walking in on Jason and Sam. She reminded Krissy that Sam is significantly older and has had different life experiences, so Krissy should come to her with questions, not Sam. A weepy Sam, meanwhile, told Jason that her mother hates her, and, "It really hurts my feelings." She admitted she understands her mother's feelings about her checkered professional and personal life, and copped to having low self-esteem. Jason pointed out Sam was being responsible by taking Krissy to the clinic. An appreciative Sam hugged him.They started kissing -- but then Sam checked to make sure they're alone.
At G.H., Kelly told Carly and Jax that the medication was not stopping Carly's labor. Carly begged her daughter to stay with her, while Coleman brought ice chips and Johnny offered a storybook for her to read and calm the baby. It apparently worked, because later Kelly said the labor had stopped. But she warned Carly to avoid stress, or it could start again. Johnny visited Claudia to tell her how Carly's labor changed his perception of Claudia's loss. He's still mad at her, but she's still his sister, and he loves her. They embraced. Claudia protested that she didn't threaten Olivia — but even if she had, Liv still could have stayed with Johnny. Claudia insisted he was infatuated with Olivia, but only really loves his sister.
Olivia made Dante a big sandwich, and told him being taken off Sonny's case is for the best. He mused that Sonny is actually a "regular guy" who loves his kids. Dante couldn't understand Sonny's connection to Claudia, though. Liv called Claudia "damaged," and warned Dante not to try to take down Sonny alone. Dante pointed out that Claudia doesn't know he's a cop. When Liv ordered him to go back to Brooklyn, he noted how hard it is for cops to win when the gangsters make up their own rules. He recalled Officer Polletti, who lived down the street back in the day, who was killed on Sonny's orders. Olivia begged her son not to make it personal, and then he left. Dante went to the pier, where he ran into Lulu, and told her the boss' wife wants to jump his bones. "Claudia? Gross!" she laughed. "She's seriously nasty." He said Claudia wants another baby, but Sonny doesn't. Lulu advised him to run, but Dominic said he's too entangled in the organization. She warned that if he makes this compromise, there's no turning back.
Thursday
When Maxie and Spinelli came downstairs they caught Jason and Sam kissing after she spent the night. Maxie needled Sam about not being open with their relationship. Jason demanded Spinelli help him immediately with the Devlin case. The Jackal could find no trail. Jason was sure the villain hid his audiotapes somewhere, so he and Sam went to one of Devlin's old motel rooms. While Sam booked the room, Jason was approached by a sleazy-looking woman, but Sam chased her away. While they searched the room, the "hooker" turned out to be a cop, who arrested them both for solicitation.
Jax walked in on Sonny visiting Carly in her hospital room. She asked them to bury the hatchet for her sake. The men agreed, and Carly was happy.At the Laundromat, Ronnie told Dante he's back on the Corinthos case — because the commissioner got a call from a senator — and returned his badge. Dante suspected Jax pulled strings to get Sonny busted. Ronnie warned Dante he's compromised, but Dante pointed out Claudia only knows his name, not that he's a cop. When Olivia walked in, Dante said he's back on the case. Liv demanded an explanation from Ronnie, who said it's over his head and left. Dante told his mother a power player put him back in the game. Olivia pointed out there are worse people than Sonny who need arresting. Then she went to Jax and blasted him for putting Dante at risk to nail Sonny. Carly heard her mention Jax and Sonny, and demanded an explanation. Jax said, "I have a confession to make..."
At the Hub, Nikolas told Elizabeth he's checking in his grandmother, because she's been poisoned. Lucky was furious. Nik related the tale of Uncle Valentin wanting to take out any Spencer or Cassadine he can find. Liz scolded Nik for bringing Helena back to town. Then she told him that they both need to protect their relationship with Lucky, so she's going to remarry him. Nik vowed to make it work with Rebecca (because he needs the distraction from Liz). Aboard The Haunted Star, Ethan told Luke the DNA tests confirmed Luke really is his father. Luke reminded Ethan of his promise never to bail on him without a heads-up. Alexis arrived, in answer to Luke's summons. "Guess who's back in town?" he asked. Luke recapped about the Cassadine island, Mischa helping them, and Helena being sick. He laid the blame on the "forgotten Cassadine" with a penchant for revenge. "Valentin?" she asked. She suggested he is a front for Helena. Back at G.H., Lucky warned Helena he won't let her ruin his life again. After he left, Rebecca strolled in, and Helena called her "the very image of dear, departed Emily." Rebecca rushed to the Star to tell Luke about Helena. There, Ethan warned her that Helena is using her, but Rebecca left in disgust. Ethan confessed to Luke that he stayed in town because of Rebecca. Luke warned his son to not to try to take her away from Nik. Back at G.H., Rebecca told Nik she trusts he had reasons for bringing Helena to Port Charles, and she will stand by him. Still, she scoffed at his fears of Valentin. Nik advised her to run away from him immediately. Meanwhile, Helena was trading insults with Alexis, who doubted her half-brother really exists. Helena said Valentin is jealous that Alexis was raised in their father's house, but he wasn't. Later, Helena asked Elizabeth if Lucky knows that Liz and Nikolas "are becoming lovers"?
In prison, Joey Limbo thanked Anthony for arranging his parole. As repayment, Anthony asked Joey to wipe out Sonny's organization — but don't hurt Johnny. However, Anthony declared, Claudia and Dominic must go. Sonny went home and told Claudia about Carly. Claudia said she hopes she's already pregnant, but if not, she'll just be a stepmom. Dante burst in with word about Joey's release. Sonny decided he must strike first. Dom asked if Sonny is ordering him to kill Joey.
Friday
The vice cop recognized Jason Morgan and considered it a coup to bring him down. Sam protested that she is a friend of Jason's. Who is a girl. He clammed up. They were taken to PCPD, were the officer told Mac she saw money exchanged. While Jason stewed, Maxie and Spinelli chastised him for stepping out on Sam (and exploiting women). When they realized Sam was arrested, Maxie assumed they had been roleplaying. After straightening out the misunderstanding, Sam and Jason returned to the motel, where he came across a page from Devlin's prescription pad with an address scribbled on it.
Jax explained to Olivia that he was merely asking Olivia to use her influence to make sure Sonny doesn't upset Carly before she gives birth. At home, Dominic offered to do whatever Sonny orders to stop Joey Limbo. Claudia gave Dom contact info for Joey's old associates, making Sonny curious why she was suddenly nice to Dom. She said she wants Dom to succeed because she senses Sonny likes him. Later, Johnny went to Olivia and told her Claudia "all but admitted" forcing Liv to break up with him. He assured her he has plenty of dirt to use against Claudia, and asked what Claudia is holding over her head.
At G.H., Helena told Elizabeth that Rebecca bungled her bid to bamboozle Nikolas, and didn't count on Liz swooping in on him. Helena said Liz reminds her of Laura: a manipulator posing as a paragon of virtue. Laura toyed with Stefan and Stavros just like Liz is toying with Nik and Lucky. She suggested a devastated Lucky will return to pills. Luke arrived and warned Helena not to piss off the medical staff (who can inject radioactive isotopes into her veins). Helena hinted that he wouldn't defend Liz if he knew what she knows. Luke sent a nervous Liz away, and they traded insults until Luke grabbed her IV bag and squeezed. Nikolas broke it up, but rejected her thanks, calling her a temporary necessary evil. In the lobby, Nikolas told Lucky he's not sending Helena back to Greece because he needs her intel on Valentin. Later, Liz warned Nikolas that Helena might tell Lucky their secret. Lucky visited Helena, who asked him how he would feel to know all his trust in his loved ones had been betrayed.
Diane returned from Philadelphia to check in with Alexis at Metro Court. Alexis hinted that Diane might really be hoping to run into Max, but Diane insisted she didn't care about him — or Louise. But her facade cracked: "I've been dumped!" she wailed, before quickly regaining her composure. Diane invited Alexis to join her law firm. Alexis declined, noting she wants to stick with pro bono work, and prefers not to defend criminals. Especially Sonny.
Dominic ran into Lulu at the restaurant and told her he may have blown the Claudia situation out of proportion, noting that he has nice dreams for the future, and doesn't want to ruin them with an unwanted child. Back at Metro Court, Claudia spotted Johnny and Olivia kissing, and waited for him to leave before confronting Liv. Olivia suggested that Claudia loves her brother too much, which disgusted Claudia. She snarked to Olivia, "I'll be sleeping with your son tonight." And she'll keep doing it until he gets her pregnant. When Olivia got defiant, Claudia threatened to expose Dante's secret identity. At casa de Corinthos, Sonny got a loyalty pledge from Johnny, then sent him to ride shotgun on Dominic while he takes care of the Joey situation. Sonny also ordered him to tell Jason to drop whatever mystery project he's working on and get on the Joey case, pronto. When Johnny found Jason with Sam, he relayed the orders. Still later, Dominic rendezvoused with Claudia, but told her he won't be getting her pregnant "now, or ever." When he wasn't cowed by her threat to expose his secret, she pointed out it will harm his mother. Olivia rushed to Sonny's place, and as Michael eavesdropped, she announced that she has to come clean, "about Claudia, and about myself."
