General Hospital Recaps
GH Week of December 1, 2008
Monday
Sonny went through with the wedding ceremony and married Claudia. He then gave her a big smooch. As Trevor told a fuming Ric to lighten up and put his game face on, Sonny and Claudia cut the cake and Anthony proposed a toast. When Anthony then wanted to talk business, Sonny laid down the law and made it clear that he was in charge now, leaving Anthony speechless. Sonny brought Claudia back to the house, where Max and Milo awkwardly welcomed her. Sonny assigned her a room and the bride and groom shared a drink. Later, Sonny summoned Ric to the house and chaired his first meeting of the Zacchara family business. Ric and Claudia couldn't keep their eyes off each
other.
Carly found Jax and Kate making love at Kate's house and dumped water on them. Carly said that up until that moment, she still thought her marriage had a chance. She then vowed to divorce Jax and destroy Kate and left. Later, Kate thanked Jax for coming by. He assured her that he wasn't going back to Carly. Jax left and Olivia stopped by and caught Kate crying. Kate blamed Olivia for Sonny and Claudia's marriage. Kate reasoned that if Sonny knew about Dante, things would be different. Olivia got Kate to open up
about her tryst with Jax.
On the road, Lulu and Jax snuggled while looking at the stars and wondered where they should head to next now that they're leaving Port Charles behind. Just as they were kissing inside the car, a cop arrived. Lulu mouthed off to the officer and he, in turn, arrested Johnny. After the cop saw Johnny's ID, he immediately released him from the cuffs and apologized. Johnny was incensed by the Zacchara treatment and began to rough up the cop. Lulu tried to calm Johnny down but he punched out the cop and they drove off.
Jason arrived at the cabin to find Elizabeth screaming about Jake being kidnapped. Sam jumped in the car and they headed after the Russian thugs. Lucky arrived at the cabin and she and Sam simultaneously fill in the men about their confrontation with the Russians. In the car, Sam praised Elizabeth for her bravery when it came to the kids. Later, Lucky took a distraught Elizabeth home and they waited for word of Jake's fate.
Nikolas visited Luke at The Haunted Star and joined him in a drink. Nik relayed that he spoke with Laura, who said that her tests in Paris are going well. Nik offered to be Luke's sounding board if he needed one. Luke said he's happy that Laura's awake, but he plans to stay with his wife, Tracy. Luke then lamented that Tracy doesn't want to be with him. Nik offered Luke a sympathetic ear if he needed one.
Carly visited Trevor and proposed a deal. Trevor realized that Carly had a beef with Kate and wanted to strike back. Carly said she wants Kate's past to come back and haunt her. Trevor wasn't interested.
Jason and Sam caught up to the Russians in the woods. When one of them spotted Sam, Jason knocked him out. Jason and Sam checked out a mine on the property and found an article of clothing of Jake's. Just then, there was a
cave in.
Tuesday
Carly asked Trevor why he was sticking around Port Charles and surmised it
was because of Kate. He countered by asking why Carly was so concerned with
Kate. Frustrated, Carly left in a huff and met with Nikolas in an attempt to
drag him into her vendetta against Kate. Carly said that she'd have Diane
help Nik retain Spoon Island from Jax's takeover bid. Nikolas pointed out
that Carly wouldn't be so angry with Jax if she didn't still love him.
Before Nik could give Carly an answer, a tearful Nadine called from the
family farm, saying they were going to have to postpone their nups.
During a business meeting at Sonny, Corinthos was peeved with Claudia's
unsolicited advice and he didn't trust Ric's suggestions, either. Sonny
later apologized to Claudia, but explained that he's used to flying solo. Ric
harrumphed that she should get used to it. Sonny warned his family members
to never, ever undermine him. He then left for Kate's house and when Ric
tried to kiss Claudia, she wouldn't while they were in Sonny's house. She
assured Ric that she wouldn't fall for Sonny because, "I don't do love."
Hiding out in a garage, Lulu was concerned that Johnny attacked a dirty cop.
Johnny apologized for his rash behavior. Lulu said the punch wasn't the
problem: It's Johnny's anger issues when it comes to his family. Lulu called
Spinelli and Maxie, who came to their hideaway to help get supplies for them
to skip town. The duo agreed to do whatever they could. Johnny imagined a
simpler life working on cars and Lulu pointed out that she knows how to
hotwire a car and he doesn't. Johnny told Lulu that she doesn't have to
choose him over her family but she said she wants to go with him. Spinelli
returned and informed the couple they didn't have to run — no charges were
filed against Johnny.
Edward, Monica and Alice commiserated that an angry, bitter Tracy was
driving them all crazy. Tracy then barged in and raged at the family. Alan
visited Tracy to remind her that life without Luke was looking pretty bleak.
Edward summoned Luke in secret and asked him to move back in. Luke agreed
but Tracy stormed in and ordered him out or she'd have him arrested. "I
don't want you back," she stated. "I don't miss you. For the first time
since you cursed my life, I feel a sense of control." The Q's spied on the
couple as they debated the issue and did everything they could to get Luke
to stay. Alice gave Luke a pedicure and Edward's slippers. Tracy then called
the company jet to arrange a trip to the Dominican Republic for a divorce.
At Kate's, Sonny apologized for all he has put her through. He said he
regrets that they didn't get married and he admitted to all his mistakes.
Kate stated that she doesn't think Sonny loves her — he loves the idea of
her. Sonny vowed that he was going to find out who shot her. Kate replied
that he's not back in the mob for her, but because he loves it. "Own it!"
she shouted. Sonny returned to find Claudia sitting in the dark.
Wednesday
Nikolas showed up at Nadine's family farm, where he was greeted by her burly cousin, who called him a freeloader. Cousin Bo gave Nik a hard time until Nadine rushed in and gave her friend a big hug. Nadine reminded Bo he needed to milk the cows and Bo left. Nadine filled in Nikolas that Aunt Raylene was having heart trouble and didn't have much time left. Nadine admitted that Raylene was more like a parental figure to her and was the inspiration for her to become a nurse. Nadine's uncle Vance arrived and laid into Nik. Nadine defended him to her skeptical relatives. Uncle Vance slipped that seeing Nadine married was Aunt Raylene's final wish.
At the PCPD, a tearful Elizabeth flipped through mug shots while Lucky tried to keep her calm. She was frantic about her missing son. Sasha was brought in for questioning but she claimed she knew nothing about the siege at the cabin or Jake's kidnapping. As she left the building, Liz grabbed Sasha and demanded to know where her son is. Sasha claimed she didn't know and told Liz that it was her fault for dating Jason.
In the Dominican Republic, a cabbie dropped Tracy off to get her divorce. "Ugly Americans," he muttered under his breath. Upon entering the structure, Tracy found Luke sipping a drink with an umbrella in it. Tracy attempted to leave but a storm came up, leaving her trapped at the bar. Tracy told Luke by the time the rain stopped, he'd be begging her for a divorce. Luke made Tracy a drink but she refused to get drunk and have sex with him.
Robin had a difficult job time adjusting to parenthood. Proud papa Patrick showed off pictures of Baby Emma at G.H. and Epiphany realized that Patrick was suffering from a lack of sleep. Matt offered to take Patrick's cases but Patrick refused. When a patient came in requiring surgery, Patrick thought about it and deferred to another doctor. Later, Patrick was called in to consult and he took Matt into the O.R. with him. Patrick was able to perform during the operation but when he emerged, Epiphany ordered the tired doc to go home.
In the mine, a trapped Jason and Sam began to dig themselves out. They were relieved that Jake was nowhere to be found after the cave in. Jason warned Sam that the mine was unsound and they needed to escape sooner rather than later. It drove Jason crazy that he didn't know whether or not the Russians were aware if Jake was his son. Nevertheless, he blamed himself for Jake's predicament. The duo dug their way out, then Jason called Spinelli to get some info on where the Russians might be hiding out.
At home, Robin couldn't get Emma to stop crying. Maxie arrived and was appalled by Robin's lack of fashion sense and offered to look after Emma while she showered and changed. “Good luck,” said Robin after handing over the baby. Spinelli showed up and both were no match for the screaming baby. However, Spinelli impressed Maxie when he was able to put Emma to sleep. Robin emerged thankful, but wasn't pleased that Spinelli was talking business on the phone to Jason while in the baby's presence. She thanked the kids for their help and they left. Patrick arrived at home and Emma immediately stopped crying. Robin was flabbergasted — and jealous.
Jason and Sam located the Russians at a roadhouse, while Sasha received orders to ensure that Jason would be eliminated.
Thursday
Robin was borderline neurotic, stating that because she can't breast feed Emma, the baby knows it and resents her for it. Patrick tried unsuccessfully to calm her. Robin decided to go back to work but she was cranky there, too. After snapping at Epiphany, Lainey pulled Robin aside and told her to relax and stop competing with Patrick. Matt arrived at the apartment with baby supplies and offered a hand with Emma. Patrick placed Emma in Matt's arms and informed his brother that she like car sounds. Later, Robin returned home to find a calm Emma on the couch with Patrick and Matt playing video racing. After Matt left, Patrick assured Robin they'd get through parenthood together.
Marty let Carly know that Kate was throwing a cocktail party for Crimson at the hotel. Jax instructed Marty that his soon-to-be-ex was not to be informed of any more Crimson activities. Kate entered and the ladies had words but managed to avoid fisticuffs. Kate pulled Jax aside and they left to discuss the party. Carly then went to Olivia for assistance in her vendetta against Kate. Olivia admitted that she likes Carly but she can't betray family.
Claudia walked in on one of Sonny's meetings and asked why her hubby started without her. Sonny asked for a moment alone and Claudia asked her husband when they'd have sex. Sonny called their tryst a mistake and said they should keep business and pleasure separate. Claudia vowed that she would not be celibate through their marriage. Sasha showed up and Sonny lowered the boom for the Russian's powerplay. He then informed her that with Claudia as his wife, he's now the head of the Zacchara organization. Sasha relayed that a child had been kidnapped. Sonny stated if there's any further actions, it would be met with "blanket retaliation." Claudia was impressed with how Sonny handled the she-devil.
At the Crowell family farm, Nikolas assured Nadine that he was not going to marry her just for a green card. Nadine broke the news that she didn't have the heart to tell her dying aunt that they were not getting married and now Aunt Raylene wanted to meet Nik. Nadine brought Nik into Raylene's room and she was entranced with Nadine's "fiancée." She asked Nadine for a moment alone with him and asked what his intentions are for her niece. Nikolas explained that he cares for Nadine but he's not ready for marriage. Raylene appreciated his honesty and warned him to do right by her. After their visit, Nik went to Nadine and said if it's Raylene's last wish to see them married, then so be it.
In the Dominican Republic, Luke and Tracy played poker. He saw through her bluff and won the pot. As the storm raged on, the booze started to kick in. Tracy wanted to know what Luke was planning to do when Laura got back. Luke ducked the question and played the shell game with her.
Lulu returned to work at Crimson. Kate pulled no punches and asked Lulu where her loyalties were: with her or Carly? Lulu skillfully dodged the issue but Carly caught up with her cousin later and tried to milk her for details about the cocktail party. Jax quickly shut Carly down.
Johnny showed up unannounced at Sonny's and beseeched Claudia to leave her husband. Carly said she couldn't and warned him that Sonny was considering striking against the Russians. Sonny approached and Johnny hid. He eavesdropped while Sonny relayed that the kidnapped child was Jake and said he refused to move for fear of Jake getting hurt. When Claudia was sympathetic to idea of child endangerment, Sonny asked her why.
Friday
At Metro Court, Jax interrupted Lulu and Carly to warn Lulu not to say anything about the Crimson party. Lulu responded that she can talk to her cousin anytime she wants, and criticized Jax for dumping Carly for a "snob" like Kate.
Patrick visited a frantic Elizabeth, explaining that Robin had told him about Jake's kidnapping. He gave her some toy cars from his collection for Cameron. Liz berated herself for her involvement in Jason's violent world.
With Jason watching from the bushes, Sam walked up to the roadhouse where the Russians had stashed Jake. When she approached, a Russian held a gun on her and pulled her inside. She introduced herself to one of the henchman and claimed that she was looking for more work. Sasha entered and said she heard that Sam and Jason used to be lovers. Sam swore that she's totally over him. Sasha seemed dubious, but finally consented to see about some work for Sam. She left the room.... Under the bar, a red lights flashed on a device.
Sonny and Claudia agreed that there will be no move against the Russian mafia until Jake is home safe. Claudia said that she'd never want to see a child hurt. They bantered over their cooking skills, but he couldn't take part in a battle of the chefs because he had a meeting.... At Metro Court, Lulu met up with Johnny. Anthony wheeled in and tried to talk to his son, but Johnny insisted that he wants nothing more to do with his family. As Johnny walked away, Sonny came in and made it clear to Zacchara that he's not going to take on the Russians until Jake is safe and sound.... While his brother was away, Ric dropped by and got a little flirty with Claudia. As they were kissing, Sonny returned home.
Lulu and Maxie attended to last-minute party details, Olivia arrived at the hotel in a short, slinky dress and Jax introduced himself. She bluntly confronted him about bedding her cousin to get back at his wife.... Kate arrived and entered an elevator. Seconds later, Carly, suspiciously clad in a red coat, got a worker to make sure Kate got stalled for a few minutes.... At the party, Olivia chatted up some of Kate's snooty pals, boasting that she shops off-the-rack and wouldn't pay more than $50 for a handbag, which drew surprised laughs and praise for being so "practical." When the elevator doors opened, Jax expected to see his new lover, but Carly stepped out, still covered up in a coat. When Kate got out of the elevator, she saw Carly at Jax's side — wearing the same dress.
Lucky arrived at Liz's house and was surprised to find Patrick there. The doc sad that that he was watching Cameron because Liz had to run out. Lucky asked Patrick to stay a little longer because he had to go track down his ex-wife. Liz was at the art studio flashing back to emotional moments with Jason. She picked up a letter-opener and stared at it. Then slashed the paintings.
Outside the Russian hideaway, someone pointed a gun at Jason and shot! Jason fell to the ground. When the shooter bent over him, Jason snapped his neck, then removed the bullet from his vest.... Inside the bar, Sam excused herself to go to the ladies' room and found where they were hiding Jake. As she was about to grab the baby, Sasha sneaked up behind her and held a knife to Sam's throat..... As the baby played on the floor in another room, Jason burst into the roadhouse with two guns blazing.... Sam fended off knife-wielding Sasha.... Lucky rushed to the studio and found his ex-wife crying and still slashing paintings. A sobbing Liz handed over the letter opener and collapsed into Lucky's arms.... At the roadhouse, the device was detonated. The force of the explosion threw Jason out of the bar. As he looked through the flames, he yelled, "Jake!"
