GH Recaps Week of August 21, 2006
Friday, August 25, 2006
Lucky found Elizabeth in bed (well, the sofa bed) with Patrick and shot her dead. Or did he? It was a nightmare. She comforted him, and he admitted killing her in his dreams. He wondered how she can forgive him and Maxie. He said she didn’t cheat on their marriage, prompting her to flash back to cheating. Nikolas arrived and Liz left. Nik advised him not to detox alone, but Lucky insisted — besides, he was afraid Patrick would swoop in while he was locked up in a clinic. Emily found Liz crying in the GH locker room after visiting Cameron. “He loves day care,” Emily pointed out, helpfully. Liz fretted that she can’t bring Cam home to a junkie daddy. Maxie eavesdropped as Liz vowed not get trapped in a cycle of recovery and relapse. If Lucky starts using again, “I’m gone.” Maxie pondered the pills she bought. Later, she lurked as Nik brought Lucky to GH. When Lucky was alone, Maxie popped out and gave him the pills.
Patrick asked Robin to consult on a case, but she preferred to stick with working in the lab. She’s not hiding, she just doesn’t want to pretend to be cheerful for everyone else.
Sonny fretted that Ric could use the DA’s office to get at Jason, so he’ll neutralize his brother by telling Alexis about Ric and Sam. Jason asked him to give Sam a heads-up first. Sonny got a call from Ms. Sneed about April, so he went to GH, where Sneed coldly recounted April’s demise and gave him the letter April had been writing. Sonny blasted her for lacking empathy, and warned he’d have her fired if she was rude to any AIDS patients again. Sonny read the letter, which was addressed to Robin, and paged her. Then Robin read the letter, in which April thanked Robin for making sure she didn’t feel alone and worthless; Robin gave her something to live for, a sense of purpose. “Fight the monster, Dr. Scorpio,” she pleaded, and show others how to fight. Robin shared with Sonny her remorse over Stone’s death, his birthday, and her experience in the church. He told her to recall how much Stone loved her. Later, Robin scrubbed in on Patrick’s operation.
Alexis wanted to make a tape for her daughters, but Kristina interrupted. Alexis confessed she didn’t know what to say, so she asked Sam what she’d like to hear. Sam suggested hearing that she mattered, that she was loved, that Alexis fought hard and that it was hard to say goodbye. Then they went to GH for a pre-op consult with Patrick, who comforted Kristina and sent her and Sam to the pier for some rides and ice cream. When Patrick remarked on family taking care of each other, Alexis flashed back to Ric and Sam…er, “taking care” of each other. Patrick showed her the X-rays, and Alexis asked her chances. “You’re not terminal,” he hedged before admitting, “There’s a real chance that you may not survive this.” At the pier, Sam and Kristina ran into Jason and asked for a boat ride. Sam called for permission, and Alexis asked Jason to promise that the boat won’t explode and he won’t get shot. (Apparently, she can still be cold-hearted with a bum lung.) Later, Alexis asked Sonny to order Jason to stay away from Sam so she can concentrate on Kristina and Molly. Sonny balked, but Alexis spun Patrick’s comments to make herself look pitiful. “I could be dying,” she wheezed.
Back at the pier, Sam and Jason sang each other’s praises and shared meaningful glances — glances so meaningful that even tiny Kristina was prompted to ask: “Are you guys gonna kiss or what?”
