GH Recaps Week of May 1, 2006
Friday, May 5, 2006
Luke and Robert awoke snuggly and smiley in the Maarkam Islands. Holly wasn’t so smiley — she waved a Wanted poster at them. At GH, Dr. Meadows, alive and well, told Jax she’s retiring. Carly overheard her mentioning the paternity test. “Tequila Woman” Emily accepted a fizzy hangover cure from Sonny. Also suffering were Liz and Kelly, but Kelly managed to tactfully tell Jason that Sam’s “not getting any better.” Holly and Luke were so desperate for coffee, they were tempted to turn in suspected terrorist Robert. Robert pointed out they could turn in Luke instead. Jax lied to Dr. Meadows about little John’s paternity and then turned to Carly, who was there to tell Bobbie about big John’s death. Dr. Meadows’ last official act: running a third paternity test. Carly told Jax she had about 10 really great memories of her father and was sad that he’d been a stranger to her sons. Lurking Ric offered to take the boys to see Sonny. A mortified Em spat her fizzy drink all over Sonny when he ribbed her about wanting to “bang” him.
Alexis came looking for Durant and Mayor Floyd told he’d been murdered. Floyd offered her the job of interim DA as she was processing the news (What a mensch!). Back at GH, Kelly said she’d run more tests, but Jason knew things were grim. Carly refused to let Ric take her boys anywhere, Jax reiterated his threat to crush Ric and Sonny and they shooed the mob mouthpiece away. Hating Ric was simple. Grieving for Durant…? Not so much. As Sonny recapped the Drunk Em Highlights, Emily remembered Kelly saying that Sam’s dying. Floyd didn’t really want someone who was Sonny’s baby’s mama, a murderer, and “soft” as DA. Alexis snatched up the job and dismissed him. On the island, the Three Amigos headed towards Holly’s dead husband’s villa. “We had the best conversation that we’ve ever had,” Carly told Bobbie about Durant. “We wasted so much time…and now he’s gone.” She cried in Bobbie’s arms. Jason slipped Sam’s engagement ring back on, wishing he’d given her more to smile about. “Thank you, Jason, for loving me,” she whispered. Sonny and Emily commiserated over Sam’s dire condition and Ric overheard Sonny saying that Jason will always be like his brother. Chopped Liver…er, Ric, was annoyed that Sonny didn’t love him best and ever-so-helpfully told Sonny Carly’s planning on keeping the boys away permanently. Watching Michael hold little John (named after two dead granddaddies now) made Carly feel a little better. Viola brought a neglected-feeling Kristina and happy Molly to see Alexis and she promised she’d always make time for her girls.
Sam and Jason said wistful, tender things and then Monica pulled Jason into the hall to tell him that Sam would get weaker and just “go to sleep.” Jason asked her to stay with Sam, “talk to her, and don’t let her go,” then tearfully begged Sam to hold on for him. Holly, Luke and Robert got cozy in the closed-down villa and Luke contacted his pilot. Carly dropped by Greystone to see Sonny. “I will not be kept away from my children,” he said. “My father’s dead,” she non sequitur-ed softly. Jason burst into the DA’s office, ignoring a snide Ric. He needed to speak to Alexis ASAP. Luke’s pilot was in the middle of a poker game but he’d rescue the gang soon. (Riiight.) Jax enjoyed time with John and his future stepsons as new paternity results printed out in a GH lab. Sonny blamed Jason for not protecting Carly from the shooters. Like Jason could have if Sonny’s hit had gone through? D’oh! Change of subject: Sonny said he’d fight Carly in court over the kids if he had to. Carly wearily talked about her failed relationship with Durant. “You and I are finished but I will not keep your children out of your life,” she promised. At GH, Monica kept a “really tired” Sam company. Alexis excused Ric (Chopped Liver again!) and Jason cut to the chase: Sam is dying and only wants one thing. “Why are you here?” confused Alexis asked. “Sam…she’s your daughter.”
