General Hospital Recaps

GH Week of February 11, 2008

Monday

At the meeting of the Five Families, Sonny kept his cool when Claudia walked
in and announced that she was a Zacchara. Sonny pulled no punches in
ordering Claudia to have her family stay out of his territory. Trevor showed
up and told the attendees that, on behalf of the Zacchara family, he just
acquired land near the railroad tracks, which borders the former Alcazar
pier property. When one of the crime lords threatened her, Claudia
physically got the better of him, silencing the room. She said there was
nothing else to talk about until the piers were acquired, then left. After
the meeting ended, Sonny went to Max and demanded to know where Jason was.
Sonny called Jason and said they need to get Ric’s piers. Then, Claudia
called Sonny. "Well, isn’t this interesting," she noted. They both agreed
that, if need be, they’d kill the other to get their own way.

In her hospital room, Sam was terrified to wake up and find the killer
standing over her bed. After whispering a threat, he ran off so no one was
able to witness the exchange. Ian entered and told Sam that he believed her
story. Sam was skeptical but he went to call the authorities. Ian returned
but didn’t entered Sam’s room when Jerry had stopped in to check on her.
Lucky arrived and questioned her but her story didn’t seem to make sense.
Lucky filled in Alexis, who assumed the text-message killer was dead. Sam
was hurt that Lucky didn’t believe her and asked if she needed to die in
order to prove she was telling the truth.

At Kelly’s, Maxie relayed to Spinelli the details of Sam’s attack. When she
stated that Sam injured the killer, Spinelli recalled that Logan had bruised
his ribs. Later, Maxie and Spinelli hid out in Maxie’s car waiting to tail
Logan. When he pledged to find Georgie's killer, she pulled him into a kiss.
Just then, a cop knocked on the window. After the cop left, Maxie explained
that she kissed him to prevent the cop from blowing their stakeout. Spinelli
was obviously flustered. Later, he had a Bogart-esque fantasy about he and
Maxie. Then, when she made an innocent Chinatown remark, he got huffy, then
nervous, then weird. It appears Mr. Spinelli is strange new feelings about,
"The Bad Blond One."

Trevor threatened Marianna and ordered her to get the deeds to Ric’s piers.
After the call ended, Ric entered with breakfast. They had a sweet chat
before he headed downstairs to speak to the front desk. When he returned,
Ric caught Marianna burning the pier deeds. He screamed at her to stop and
saved the paperwork. She countered that she was doing it for his own good.
Ric apologized, then noticed she has a bruise.

Elizabeth brought Cameron and Jake home for the first time since the fire.
"It looks as good as new," she noted. Nikolas stopped by to visit and Liz
was shocked that he hadn’t scheduled his surgery yet. She reminded him that
Spencer needs him and he must go through with the surgery. He changed the
subject by asking if Liz would help with Spencer’s birthday party, as he
turns two next week. Liz then filled Nik in about Sam’s accident. He stated
that he, too, was on the road and wondered if he’d hit Sam during a
blackout.

As Sam slept, Diane lectured Alexis on what a poor choice a man like Jerry
would be for her. Meanwhile, as Moreau, Jerry visited again with the
tattooed mystery man, who ordered Jerry to get control of the piers.

Jason called Liz, who told him about Nik’s admission. She was feeling guilty
for Sam’s accident but Jason stated she can’t come clean for a crime if she
doesn’t know for sure she committed it.

Trevor called Marianna back and said he’s not going to ask her again to get
those deeds away from Ric.

Tuesday

At G.H., Epiphany was more argumentative than usual. Robin, Kelly and Regina
were concerned that she wasn't property grieving for her deceased son, Stan.
Shortly afterward, a package arrived for Epiphany. She opened it and saw it
was Stan's ashes. Upset, Epiphany berated Leyla for a minor infraction.
Patrick offered Leyla a sympathetic ear, which got a glare from Robin.

Luke went to Monica on Tracy's behalf but she wasn't interested in hearing
his speech. When he made no headway, Jason showed up and asked his mother
point blank if she hit Sam with her car. Monica refused to dignify the
question with an answer. When a frustrated Jason walked off, Monica took a
swig from her "water" bottle.

Patrick offered Sam a sympathetic shoulder, as she relayed to him how Lucky
still doesn't believe her about the killer.

At the PCPD, Alexis went to Mac with Sam's charges that the text-message
killer is still alive. Lucky admitted that he didn't file any new reports,
while Scott and Mayor Floyd were skeptical about the info. Lucky stated he'd
go back to check the docks for Sam's lost cell phone, while Alexis wanted
the case reopened but faced adversity from the disbelieving men.

Logan startled Lulu, who was standing alone on the bridge. She told Logan
that she shouldn't have given him another chance to hurt her in the first
place. He apologized for forcing himself on her when he didn't understand
her history (that her father had raped her mother.) Logan admitted he was
wrong and had to let her do the thing that he felt was the hardest — to
stand back and let her explore her feelings for Johnny.

Johnny went to G.H. and asked about Patrick some questions his father's
condition. "Is there any way he could really be getting better?" Johnny
wondered. Later, Johnny went to the roof where he hovered, and as he looked
down, Luke arrived. He joined Johnny sitting "on the edge," where Luke asked
Johnny his intentions for his daughter. He said he wanted to be with her
only if she'd never get hurt. Luke admitted that no one is safe when it
comes to love.

Jason came to Carly's house and wanted to talk in private. Michael gave her
a hard time before going up stairs. Jason then told Carly about Sam's
accident and wanted to know why she didn't report her own accident that
night. "Why do you even care?" Carly asked aloud. Carly told Jason she
didn't hit Sam and if she did, she wouldn't make it a secret. Jason left in
a huff. Upstairs, Michael took his one bullet and placed it in his newly
purchased gun, which he had hidden under his bed. Morgan burst in and
Michael kicked his little brother out of his room.

At G.H. Sam awoke from a nightmare and wanted to know why Elizabeth was
apologizing to her. Sam described her dream, just as Lucky entered. He said
he found Sam's phone; it was smashed.... Lulu showed up seeking romantic
advice from Carly.... Patrick overheard Robin tell Mac that the father of
her baby wasn't from the sperm bank.... As Epiphany cried over Stan's ashes,
she seemed to suffer a heart attack.... Liz told Lucky that she needed to
talk to him about something she'd done.... A gloved hand drank a beer while
looking over clippings of the text-message killer.

Wednesday

Jax and Kate met to discuss her magazine proposal and ended up talking about
Kate's dual life and her romantic history with Sonny. He liked her concept
and was willing to set her up with office space but she couldn't get her
mind off of Corinthos. Kate left the meeting to go find Sonny.

Diane and Alexis got together for dinner at the Lake House, where Diane
announced she was going to rep the ER bomber, Joe Smith, in suing the
hospital for turning away his pregnant wife. As the women chatted, Kristina
entered with flowers she picked. Alexis took a look outside and got spooked.
Unbeknownst to her, the text-message killer was lurking nearby. She shared
her concern with Diane, who turned off the lights, pulled out a gun and went
out back for a look. As Alexis told the girls to stay in their rooms, Diane
cold-cocked a man outside Alexis's house. Unfortunately, it was Mayor Floyd.
As Alexis helped him inside, Kristina looked out the window and screamed.

Jason visited Sam in the hospital to see if she knew anything more about who
hit her. Their talk didn't go well and Ian interrupted and threatened to
call the cops. Jason asked Sam to call him if she remembered anything and
left.

Elizabeth almost came clean with Lucky about her activities the night of
Sam's hit and run, but when Lucky started quizzing her about Jason's
whereabouts, she clammed up.

Luke went to Sonny looking for a job but Sonny turned him away for his own
good. Luke then headed to Jake's for a drink and bumped into Claudia
Zacchara. Claudia immediately began pumping Luke for information about
Sonny. He warned her not to go after Sonny's family or she'd have to face
the consequences. After their chat, Luke asked Coleman for a job but just
got laughed at. Coleman said Luke would end up drinking all the profits.
Luke lamented about his new life with no work, no booze and no woman.

At G.H., Leo broke the news to Epiphany that she had suffered a heart
attack. Epiphany claimed it was just stress and kicked everyone out of her
room. Cassius chastised Epiphany for not taking better care of herself. The
staffers returned to give Epiphany their good wishes. She placed Liz in
charge in her absence and ordered everyone back to work.

Mike told Sonny about catching Michael trying to buy bullets on the docks.
Sonny was furious. Meanwhile, Morgan snuck into Michael's room and found the
gun hidden under his big brother's bed. Michael burst in and ripped the box
away from Morgan, chastising him and threatening to have him sold on the
Internet. Sonny arrived but Michael was able to cover up the box. Sonny
warned Michael again that he was, under no circumstances, to be playing with
guns. Michael said okay.

Jason entered Jake's, where Claudia challenged him to a game of pool.

Thursday

At Jake's, Claudia bet Jason a dance on their game of pool. However, Spinelli interrupted and required a visit with the master. Claudia was upset that Jason didn't finish their game. Afterward, Jason told Spinelli there was something about Claudia that bugged him and he hoped to never see her again.

Tracy was surprised to find Luke working at Kelly's. He said he wanted to still provide for her. She scoffed and twisted her ankle getting up to leave. Luke suggested going to G.H., but Tracy said no way, due to Monica. When Tracy suggested that Monica may have hit Sam in a drunken stupor, Luke suggested that they investigate to use the information for leverage. Tracy liked the idea, but turned down Luke’s offer to stay with him.

At the Lake House, Alexis comforted Kristina, who screamed after seeing the text-message killer lurking outside. Diane and Mayor Floyd wanted to check things out but Alexis kept everyone inside and called the police. Lucky and the cops arrived to ask questions, but Kristina refused to speak. Later, Kristina woke from a nightmare after recalling the killer's face.

At the coffeehouse, Kate and Sonny chatted about the old days and the choices they made in their lives. She then wished him a "Happy Valentine's Day" and planted a big ol’ kiss on him. She asked him to admit he still loves her. He said nothing but did return another kiss. Afterward, Kate left and Claudia arrived. "I need something from you," Claudia cooed. They talked business, then Claudia commented that Kate still seemed to be in the picture. Sonny ordered her to stay away from Kate — or else.

At Kelly's, Maxie was stunned to find a Valentine's Day gift from Coop but wouldn’t open it. Mac arrived and told her about the call at Alexis's house and acknowledged that Coop might not be the killer. He then advised her to open the gift. Maxie did. It was a beautiful necklace. Mac said Coop had asked him for a gift suggestion weeks ago. Mac held Maxie as she cried. Spinelli arrived and had a black and white fantasy about him and Maxie. When he sat down with her, she mentioned the attack at Alexis's house, noting that she’s sure Coop was not the killer.

At G.H., Nadine was stunned to hear of Epiphany's heart attack and Ian was upset that Liz wouldn't help treat Sam. He put Liz in her place and told her to do her job. The women traded insults, then Nikolas arrived and asked to talk to Sam. Nik confessed to his cousin that he fears he may have hit her. Sam said that if he did, she would forgive him. Meanwhile, Jason told Liz that he checked out Nik's car and there was no bumper damage so it couldn’t have been him who hit Sam.

Carly and Robin ran into each other in prenatal and learned the other was pregnant. The women sniped until Jax and Patrick broke things up. Afterward, Jax took Carly out for a trashy Valentine’s evening at Jake's while Patrick gave Robin flowers for the occasion.

Friday

In Michael's room, Carly and Jax discussed the boy, who charged in and yelled at them to get out. Michael proceeded to berate his mother and Jax, who were both quite angry with him. Once they left him alone, Michael retrieved the pistol from his drawer and stuck it in his knapsack.... Jason was alarmed when Sonny mentioned that Michael had been caught with bullets. "I don't want him to be like me," sighed the mobster. Sonny went on to order Jason to get Spinelli to investigate Claudia's background.

At Crimson Pointe, Johnny told Claudia that he was angry because she'd been gone for so many years. Claudia assured her brother that she loves him. He observed that she has a cynical view of love. She then questioned him about Sonny. He filled her in on Sonny's relationship with Ric and Trevor. "We have some planning to do," she smirked.

At GH, an ashen, frail Sam lurked as Elizabeth assured Nikolas that he is not the one responsible for Sam's car accident. Sam hobbled up and said that for once she agrees with Liz: Nikolas should not blame himself until the driver's identity is revealed. He was still troubled by his blackout.

Alexis tried to get a traumatized Kristina to eat breakfast, but the girl wasn't responsive. Sonny visited, but could not get Kristina to open up, either. Kate, who had come to see Alexis, walked in; Alexis left her alone with Sonny. They discussed whether little Kristina had seen the text-message killer. A heart-to-heart ensued and Kate told Sonny that she wanted a new slow-paced life with him in it. Sonny basically told her that he had to focus on business right now. Afterward, Alexis told Sonny that he's lucky to have a woman like Kate.

Maxie arrived at the hospital and asked Robin to identify the pill she'd found. Robin showed the pill to Dr. Devlin, who said he could do it. It's a clinical-research drug, not yet available in the U.S. The doc asked if Maxie's boyfriend (whom she claimed the pill belonged to) was in the military. He mentioned that it is used on the black market as a performance-booster in the trenches, adding that one of the side effects is that your body begins to secrete "a sweet smell." "Oh, my God," gasped Maxie before gabbing the bottle and running out.

At Kelly's, Spinelli warned Lulu to be extra careful, tentatively dancing around before admitting that he and Maxie had been sleuthing and believe Logan is the killer. He rattled off all the clues they'd gathered, but Lulu argued that it's not real proof. Then she rushed out of the diner.

Claudia ran into Jason on the docks and got a little flirty, suggesting that they could have some fun. She mentioned that she didn't know his name. "Maybe that should tell you something," he responded before taking off.... Lulu crept into Logan's apartment where she spotted a bottle of pills and a box containing incriminating items. Logan walked in on her.

When Michael was at practice, Carly and Jax searched his room, thinking they might find drugs, but the room was clean. She mentioned the Taylor Building, saying she was interested in it. Carly smirked when Jax told her that Kate wants to buy that building; he warned her not to turn it into a competition.

Nikolas collapsed at the hospital. He got sweaty and trembled as he whispered that he could see "it," which turned out to be Emily at the ball.... As Spinelli told a shocked Jason that Claudia is Zacchara's daughter, Claudia visited Sonny and revealed a skimpy red dress.... On the docks, Michael prepared to dispose of the gun, but he dropped the pistol a shot was fired.
