GH Recaps Week of Aug. 22, 2005
Friday, August 26, 2005
The (not so) Bossy Aussie soothed Liz and Lucky’s fears, saying he wanted his marriage to be rock solid by the time the baby was born. “There’s no pressure,” a wet Nikolas promised Emily. She murmured that she loved him and fled with the umbrella. A visibly upset Courtney then joined him on the Elm Cheat Pier. Back at the Little Clinic, Jason Tarantino beat up the Reservoir Thugs. Once the slo-mo faded, he slammed the doctor against the wall and asked where Sam went. During Reese and Sonny’s post-coital chatter, Carly appeared on the terrace! (How’d she get up there? What is she, Spiderwoman?) As Carly pressed herself against the glass (where’s that Windex?), Sonny asked Reese to move in. The surviving thug crawled into the hall and told Jason about the island that he’d had the luck to forget. Mr. Blank Slate insisted on being taken there. Over at Captive Audience Island, Zyrtec needed Sam to sign some papers and was insulted when Sam wondered if she’d killed Alee-See-Ya, too. Jax continued to make pretty promises. “Well, if you really mean what you’re saying…then everything that happened tonight was worth it.” Liz said. When Lucky was suspicious, Jax told him to butt out. He needed to convince his wife, not the Curious Cop. On the docks, Courtney waxed poetic about Emily’s torch versus her spark and generally rambled in a way that meant “I’m jealous but I’d be a jerk if I admitted it.” When she tried to flee, Nik stopped her. “What about us?” Nik wondered. “I don’t think we were a mistake.” (Then why were you kissing up to your wife five seconds ago?)
“We’re past the pain now. I’m so ready for the good stuff,” Sonny told Reese. So, she agreed to move in and the flirty couple smooched as Spiderwoman watched. Back at the Allergy Shack, two cops arrested Sam-as-Alicia for killing Andrew (hey, it’s a temporary rescue from Helena-Lite). Jason showed up and got more confused as Allegra filled him in on the storyline. The real Alicia (note the heinous wig) strolled in crowing about how she really did off Andrew. Nikolas (at Wyndemere) and Courtney (at her loft) shared an angsty montage about their Not Sleeping Together. This didn’t bode well for their marriages…and a glass and a cup shattered Very Symbolically. Reese and Sonny left to go on a “first date” and Carly bypassed the nonexistent security system and let herself in. She wrote “whore” on Reese’s mirror with lipstick and ripped up a pillow. (Can she burn that brown blanket, too? Everybody in PC has had sex on it.) At GH, Emily and Liz traded positive news about the baby and Em’s marriage. Maybe it was the intervention, maybe the WDST, but Em wanted her man back. Too bad he was pacing with Courtney on the brain. Reese and Sonny ate gelato and flirted and decided to try living in the moment like Jason (I wouldn’t — his current moment sucks for him). Reese headed back to the penthouse to grab her toothbrush. Carly was still redecorating it with gusto when she found Reese’s gun in a drawer. Uh-oh. Who forgot the Carly-proof locks?
At GH, Liz hoped that craving vanilla ice cream didn’t mean her kidlet would be boring. Only if it turned out like Dad, snarked Lucky. “Hey, no Jax bashing!” chuckled Liz. (Does that mean we can’t call him the Bossy Aussie?) Lucky had a smart question, though: what if Courtney didn’t want to work things out? That’s exactly what she was pondering when Nik left her voicemail asking to see her and Jax let himself in to the loft. Jason and Claritin showed up at the jail, Sam knocked out Ali and they left her there. Reese entered the unlocked penthouse to find it totally trashed in the wake of Hurricane Carly’s rampage. She called Sonny to give him a heads-up but Carly showed up at Greystone. “You can’t leave now,” she said, aiming Reese’s gun. Jax said All The Right Things to Courtney, swearing, “I just want the future to be about us.” “What about Nikolas?” Courtney asked. Well, he was drowsing at his desk when Emily walked in. She saw two wine glasses and wondered, “Were you expecting someone?” “Well, yes.” As she smiled tremulously, it was clear he’d been waiting for someone blonder. Back at the island, all the Ali stuff was glossed over and Jason told Sam about the thugs he’d whacked so easily. “That’s my business, isn’t it? That’s the work I do that’s complicated?” There was no easy way to say it. Okay, yes, there was. “You kill people,” Sam admitted. Reese was still on the line as Sonny unsuccessfully tried to keep Carly calm. “Why did you leave me?” she asked, tearfully. As he approached her, the gun fired and Reese shrieked “Sonny!” into the phone…
