GH Recaps Week Of July 10, 2006
Friday, July 14, 2006
Elizabeth found Lucky just after he popped the last of his pills in a GH hallway. He fretted over today’s medal ceremony, and Maxie watched them embrace. Later, at Kelly’s, a wired Lucky came in and approached Maxie, who refused to get him more pills. The hospital was too risky, so he gave her money to buy some oxy on the street. Later, Lucky arrived late (and still wired) for the ceremony.
Meanwhile, at GH, Maxie failed to scarf pills from a medicine cart. Back at the medal ceremony, Mac made a speech, then Lucky thanked his family and friends and embraced Liz. Maxie arrived in time to witness this embrace, too. Back at Kelly’s, Nikolas approached Emily, who explained why she left town. But where was Lucky? Meeting Maxie on the docks, that’s where. She gave him a hard time about not asking Liz to steal pills for him. She dangled the pills and blasted him for using her to score, but going back to his wife for love. When she tossed the oxy in the water he grabbed her and shook her. He apologized, and Maxie kissed him.
Sam showed Ric her latest plunging-neckline purple dress on her way to Jason’s to get her passport. Ric offered to pick up her passport for her. Later, Sam was being interviewed for a job at GH (no diploma, no G.E.D.), and they recounted the last two years of her nutso life (Y’know, mobsters, gunfights, dead babies, kidnappings, etc.) before she stormed out. When she got home Kristina invited her swimming. Later, a sopping-wet Sam laid out on a the terrace in her bathing suit (apparently the most modest piece of clothing she owns). Ric spotted her and got an eyeful.
Jason and Sonny were discussing business when Emily reminded him to go to therapy. Meanwhile, Lainey breached professional ethics to tell Carly that Sonny has an appointment. Carly insisted she doesn’t want to get back with him. Lainey said Sonny has to save himself; Carly realized she has to save herself. Sonny said he’s too busy for therapy, and Emily warned Jason not to pull Sonny back into the business. Jason agreed to run things alone. Emily was angry that Jason enabled Sonny for years. later, at GH, Sonny defended his button man and pointed out there’s no guarantee therapy will work. He ended up sitting next to Max, who cowered behind a newspaper. When spotted, Max tried to cover. When Sonny expressed astonishment that Max has a regular appointment, an embarrassed Max fled. Once inside with Lainey, Sonny said Carly thinks he’s bipolar; he thinks he just had a bad time — and doesn’t want to discuss it. “It feels like you’re falling into a bottomless pit,” he described. “I would very much like it to stop.” Lainey asked about his childhood and he recounted bashing in a bully’s head. Then he recalled Lily’s fate and the way Jason and Carly care for him. And how he hurts people. He doesn’t want to do that to another woman again. Lainey asked: Another woman — or Carly?
Carly ran into Nikolas on the docks and tried to finagle a visit with John — again — but Nik would have none of it — again. Meanwhile, Jason was going through the mail when he found a picture of himself with Sam. Then Ric arrived to demand her passport and pick a fight. Jason got very suspicious of Ric just as Carly burst in. She confronted Ric, who took credit for getting Sonny professional help. Jason threw Ric out and told Carly he thinks Ric pushed Sonny over the edge. He theorized that Ric bought Emily the white dress Sonny cannot remember (he’s never had blackouts before). Carly vowed to prove it, since she needs the distraction. Now Jason was suspicious of her. “I didn’t sleep with him,” Carly insisted. He just reminded her why she loved him.
Meanwhile, Lainey asked what Sonny feels when he thinks of Carly. “We fight,” he admitted. And the more they do, “the more I want to take her clothes off.” He flashed back to a fight he had with her over Brenda that ended in kissing. Lainey suggested he and Carly feed off each other’s pain and dysfunction. But the question remains: “Do you love Carly?”
