General Hospital Recaps
GH Week of June 8, 2009
Monday
Nikolas insisted that Emily didn't have a twin, but Alexis insisted she did: Rebecca. And she had evidence from the FBI to prove that the Bowens sold Rebecca on the black market because they could not afford two kids. Alexis said Rebecca is obviously setting Nik up, but he refused to accept anything beyond the idea that Emily had a twin she didn't know about. Meanwhile, Rebecca reminded Ethan that they had agreed to have no contact in Port Charles, but he insisted on kissing her. She scolded him for breaking his own rules, but he fretted that she was thinking about backing out of the plan. They flashed back to how they met in an airport when a snowstorm grounded all planes. She was headed to Port Charles after discovering that she'd be sold and her twin was adopted. She was looking for a piece of "what's mine." He talked her out of a direct confrontation that would arouse suspicion. He suggested she simply show up in town and play the clueless innocent. "That's cold," she admitted, but it could work. He volunteered to tutor her in the long con exchange for a slice of the pie. After sleeping together, they settled on a 10 percent cut, and he began drilling her on Emily's family (He had become an instant expert on them). When she was prepped, they parted ways — and he set off to look up "this Luke Spencer character." Now, Rebecca admitted she likes all the Q's, and finds their love and concern for Emily "heartwarming." He scolded her for breaking Rule No. 1: Don't get emotionally involved with the marks. Just as she was praising Nik for being a kind, sincere gentleman, Nik arrived and wondered what was happening.
Sonny and Jax rushed to Claudia and Carly, who both lay unconscious at the foot of the stairs. Elizabeth tended to them both as Jax flipped out. Sonny was tempted to go with Carly, but Claudia asked him to stay with her. Later, Claudia claimed she was fine, but said Carly caused the fall. Carly woke up in a room with Jax, and fumed about "that bitch Claudia." And she worried about Michael. Jax reassured her that Sonny would find him.
Kristina told Jason that she hadn't seen Michael all night — and accused the hit man of getting an eyeful while she was "half-naked" and "underage." As Jason bemoaned arguing with her, Michael made himself known. Sam arrived and urged Kristina to go put on some clothes. Michael insisted he was fine and begged Jason not to call his folks, but Jason reported to Carly. She told him about falling down the stairs, and he passed word to Michael. He and Jason continued to butt heads until Michael relented. When they left, Kristina snarked about Jason's attitude to Sam. Kristina claimed she only went to the club to help her pal Chandler, but Jason dragged her away. And then he barged in on her in while she was in her undies. She called him "mean and rude," and reminded Sam of how he'd treated her.
At GH, Kelly told Carly that she and the baby are fine. For now. When Sonny came in, Carly relayed that Jason found their son. Sonny asked Carly why she went after Claudia. Meanwhile, Claudia tried to get in touch with Johnny — and leave. Ric was angry to discover her out of bed. As she tried to storm off, she doubled over in pain. Carly told Sonny she overheard Claudia admit to Johnny that she's the reason Michael left the hospital. Liz came in to tell Sonny that Claudia collapsed and could be losing the baby. As Claudia demanded that Ric leave her alone, he reminded her that he's the real father of her baby. Sonny visited Claudia, who said she tried to leave to look for Michael when cramps hit. Sonny told her to "focus on relaxing." Jason brought Michael back to the hospital, where he accused Carly of using the baby to manipulate him and Jason. Nonetheless, Liz escorted Michael to his mother's room, where she said she was just happy to have him back. (But Jax scolded him.) Sonny assured Claudia that he cares about her baby. Then he demanded to know why Ric was once again hanging around and acting interested in Claudia's baby.
Tuesday
Robin prepared a romantic dinner — with take-out — for Patrick. As they started smooching, Emma fussed and Robin went to her, leaving Patrick frustrated. Later, he assured his wife that Emma loves her, but she felt like she owes the kid. Patrick said postpartum depression is not a character flaw, but she admitted having trouble forgiving herself. "I'm in this for the long haul," he said. They went back to kissing, but were interrupted by a call from Epiphany reporting that Michael was back. At G.H., a sullen Michael hugged Carly, who asked if he fled because of something Claudia said. Michael said he told Claudia he thought he remembered her saying she was sorry while he was unconscious. Carly was stunned that Claudia told Michael she visited him often, and wondered what Claudia had to be sorry about. She promised to talk to Claudia. Carly pointed out that she spent much time in his room, and was hurt that he didn't recall her voice, too. Meanwhile, Jax told Olivia that Michael's erratic behavior could endanger Carly and the baby. Liv told him to "suck it up," because nobody can tell a mother how to parent. Patrick arrived to examine Michael, who told him he remembered Claudia talking to him. Patrick noted that was totally possible. When Jax returned, Carly told him it was a good thing Michael fled — because it gave her a chance to hug him. Later, a sleeping Michael heard Claudia's voice again — and then a male voice say, "I'm sorry, Michael." Patrick returned home to tell Robin that Michael is making progress. She admitted she hasn't been very nice to him lately. And then they made love. Later, Patrick noted, "Now you can call me Dr. Love." Together, they listened to Emma making happy sounds on the monitor.
Ethan told Nikolas he had something very important to discuss: There will be a high-stakes Texas Hold 'em tournament at The Haunted Star, but Rebecca cannot afford the fee.Nik declined to stake her, and Ethan left. Nik showed Rebecca the FBI file, and informed her that she had a twin. She denied it, but after he explained about the Bowens selling her, she started hyperventilating. She got all weepy over the file, noting, "My whole life was a lie." She was bitter at her parents. Nik said Alexis suspects Rebecca is in town to rip him off, but Rebecca asked if he thinks she's "the evil twin out for revenge for being sold like a loaf of bread." Nik revealed he believes something inside led her to the town her sister lived in. Rebecca started sobbing that the closest she'll ever get to her late sister "is you." So Nik took her to Emily's crypt. Rebecca asked what Emily was like. He called her sweet, generous, kind and funny. Rebecca wondered what Emily would think of her. Nik figured she would have been glad to know she had a sister. She asked what he thinks of her being Emily's twin.
When Alexis returned home, Kristina related her version of the night's "misunderstanding" with Jason and Michael. Kristina felt sure her father wouldn't care. Alexis assured her that Sonny loved her — he just had a problem with Alexis. Then Alexis was summoned to the office, so Kristina sulked.
Ric told Sonny he found Claudia alone and terrified, and wondered why Sonny wasn't there. A furious Sonny threw him out. Claudia started sobbing at the thought of Sonny preferring Carly, so he stormed out. Sonny found Olivia, and vented to her how he feels sorry for the kid Claudia is carrying. And how he's suspicious of Ric's interest in the baby. He doesn't trust either one of them, but simply cannot figure out what ties them together. Olivia said having a baby can bring out good qualities, but the goodness has to be inside to start — and she doesn't see any good in Claudia. Meanwhile, Ric encouraged Claudia to tell Sonny he's likely the kid's uncle. Claudia insisted Sonny will love the baby, but Ric warned her that Sonny won't love her. She threatened to miscarry if he tells Sonny. Ric stalked out just in time for Sonny to spot him. He asked her why Ric cannot stay away. "Is the baby mine?" Sonny demanded. "Of course it is," she replied. He insisted she have an amnio to confirm it.
Wednesday
Robin and Emma dropped off Patrick at the hospital, where he got a call from Olivia summoning him to Metro Court on the QT. When he arrived with Robin, Liv guided them into a room, where a woman lay unconscious and Mayor Floyd snarled, "What took you so long?" The doctors leaped to treat the woman, Brianna Hughes, and Liv called an ambulance. The mayor was obsessed with keeping everything under the radar. Patrick found a bump on Brianna's head, and Floyd reluctantly admitted she slipped in the shower — while having sex with him — and struck the showerhead. She complained that her head hurt, so Floyd went to the gift shop for aspirin. When he returned, he found her unconscious and called Olivia. Concerned about his career, the mayor bolted before the EMTs arrived. Patrick said Floyd's story doesn't add up.
At The Haunted Star, Tracy lamented that there have been no profits from the casino. Luke got a call from Holly in Dubai, who said, "I'm in trouble." (In truth, she was enjoying a massage.) Tracy took the phone and told Holly to call some other sucker. Luke assured his wife he won't take off after Holly (again). After Ethan arrived, Tracy warned Luke, "If you walk, keep walking." Luke warned her not to tempt him. Luke reminded Ethan the DNA test results come today, but he senses in his gut that Ethan is his son. Nik went to Lucky and Elizabeth, and told them about the twins. Liz was instantly suspicious, but Lucky was sympathetic. Later, Ethan went to Lucky's place and told him about the DNA test. Then Ethan got a text: the test confirmed he's Luke's son. Lucky warned Ethan that Luke will break his heart someday.
When Jason returned to the penthouse, he walked right into a tirade from Maxie. She babbled that Johnny might have heard something he shouldn't have, and she's attracted to Johnny, and what should she do? She asked Jason not to go after Claudia just because Johnny heard a piece of Spinelli's recording of Claudia. Then Rebecca arrived, chasing Maxie. She told him she's Em's twin. Jason said Emily accepted him without reservation, and would have welcomed Rebecca, so he will too. Rebecca's next stop was Monica, who said she intends to take care of Paige's other daughter. "I'm inviting you into the Quartermaine family," she said. Nik saw them embrace. Later, Maxie and Johnny shared burgers at Kelly's, where she mentioned talking to Jason about the recording of Claudia. Johnny immediately rushed to tell Jason to leave Claudia alone. Jason warned Johnny that if he gets involved, he will compromise himself. Johnny said he will always protect Claudia, so if Jason goes after Claudia, he'll have to kill Johnny first.
Nikolas went to G.H. to tell Monica that Rebecca is Emily's twin. Monica had no idea Paige had another child, but the Quartermaines would welcome Rebecca. Nik worried that Rebecca really is a scam artist. At the docks, Helena eavesdropped as Rebecca told Ethan that Nik knows about her being Em's twin. Ethan scolded her for getting to close to the mark. Rebecca feared Jason would come after her if he suspects she's exploiting the memory of his little sister. Rebecca, meanwhile, went to the Star, where Helena taunted her for being so easy to track. Luke eavesdropped as Helena demanded she throw in with her — or lose Nik forever when she tells Nik Rebecca is a con. Rebecca walked out in disgust. Then Luke showed himself to Helena, revealing he's on to her. Suddenly, one of Helena's henchmen knocked out Luke. "It's been far too long since I've had you at my mercy," she chortled.
Thursday
Patrick and Robin agreed that Brianna's concussion was inconsistent with Mayor Floyd's story, so they suspected a cover-up. Robin said Floyd is a serial cheater who makes her Uncle Mac's life difficult. When Alexis arrived Patrick filled her in, and then she warned Floyd she won't cover up an assault. Floyd copped to a consentual affair with Brianna (and problems with his wife), but insisted he found her unconscious following "athletic" sex. He blamed Patrick for any decline in her health, and threatened to sue. Matt alerted Patrick that Brianna was seizing, and then the brothers clashed over who would perform surgery. Patrick agreed to let Matt do it, and headed to the park with Robin. In the OR, the nurses discussed rumors about the mayor — and then Brianna crashed.
At G.H., Michael freaked out at Elizabeth and had to be physically restrained by Jason. Michael appeared to calm down, but suddenly punched Jason in the face! Jason refused to be baited into hitting him back. "Everything's going to be okay" Jason said, as Michael cried. Jason explained that he's going to have to relearn stuff. Michael appreciated that Jason understands, but worried that he might hurt someone he loves. As Jax and Carly set up a game system in Michael's room, Morgan was excited that his brother was coming home. Jax noted that Morgan reminded him of himself and Jerry as kids. He was saddened that Jerry never turned his life around. Carly told him to focus on the good, and they smooched. Then she spent quality time alone with Morgan, thanking him for being brave while Michael was in his coma. Morgan worried that Michael won't like him anymore, but she reassured him. Jason reported to Sonny about Michael hitting him, and Sonny worried for Carly's safety. Jason recalled that he lashed out at everyone and made bad decisions after his accident. Then Michael called to tell Sonny he's scared of losing control at his mom's place, so he wants to live with Sonny. At G.H., Kelly told Claudia that she's having trouble hearing the baby's heartbeat. When Sonny arrived he booked an amnio for August. Later, Claudia told Johnny, "I think I have a dead baby inside me," and lamented that Sonny doesn't want the baby. She got weepy and vowed to make Carly pay if she miscarried. Taking Claudia home, Sonny was stunned to see she redecorated his study. She told him to change it back because it doesn't matter any more. "Are you admitting that the baby's Ric's?" he asked, out of nowhere. He warned her she won't be able to extend any "deception" until August. She became indignant and stormed out. Alexis found Jax thinking in the park. She reassured him that he did the right thing by helping Jerry get away. She asked if someone else was involved in Michael's shooting. Jax said no one besides Ian Devlin. She cautioned him that keeping secrets can be noble, but it's hard.
Spinelli surprised Maxie and Lulu at Crimson. She asked, "Do you wanna play with me?" When he suggested that Kate deserves to get fired, the girls fretted about losing their jobs. No one could figure out why Kate was out to hurt her own magazine. Kate arrived and demanded an explanation for Spinelli's presence. Maxie made up a story about a computer virus. A furious Kate demoted Maxie to second assistant, and took Lulu to visit "Donatella's yacht" for drinks. Lulu didn't want to go, and Maxie was jealous.
Sonny told Jason he'd love to have Michael live with him. And if Ric is the father of her baby, "I have no idea what t to do with her. " Meanwhile, Claudia was having another sonogram, and asked if her baby died in pain. Kelly admitted, "I'm not seeing a heartbeat."
Friday
Kristina visited Michael with a joint — just as Carly arrived. He hid the weed under his blankets as Carly sent Kristina away so they could talk. Patrick and Robin arrived with good news: He can go home. Carly begged him to come home with her, because moving in with Sonny will break Morgan's heart. He agreed, in order to keep her calm. Kristina returned to the room to retrieve the weed, and Jason caught her. She confessed she wanted to help Michael with his pain. He told her to stay away from Michael; she told him the same thing. When Michael arrived home, the place was decorated with balloons and Jax and Morgan were dressed for karate class. "Our family's complete now," Carly beamed. But Michael felt like he no longer belonged, because the had all moved on without him. Carly insisted they all still love him. "You're trying to control me!" Michael screamed, and ran outside. Kristina pulled up in a car, and the teens drove away.
In the operating room, Matt fought to save Brianna when her heart stopped. At the nurses' hub, Robin and Patrick were discussing Michael's case when Matt told the duty nurse, "The patient died." Matt insisted to Robin he did everything correctly, and then stormed off. Patrick found Elizabeth cleaning up the operating theater. He lamented letting Matt do the surgery. "Dr. Hunter did a good job," Liz said. She likened Patrick to an artist with a scalpel, and said Matt isn't quite that good. Patrick asked his brother what went wrong, and offered to help figure out why. Matt bristled at enduring a condescending lecture. "Sometime patients die," he snarled. "It's not a mystery." Diane showed up to reveal she was retained by Brianna's family to sue Matt for malpractice and wrongful death. Patrick and Robin immediately defended Matt, but Diane said Dr. Hunter's incompetence killed Brianna, not her minor injury. When Robin urged Matt to check his insurance, he was offended and asked how they could know he didn't make a mistake.
Spinelli summoned Maxie and Lulu to the spa, where he had trailed Kate. He was convinced she would open up to her masseuse. The trio were stunned to see Giselle enter the same suite. The trio listened at the door as Giselle reminded Kate that Couture provided the financing for Crimson, and if Kate stops doing her bidding, Giselle will go public with that information.
At G.H., Kelly finally located the heartbeat of Claudia's baby. Then she scolded Claudia for endangering the baby by falling down stairs and by enduring the stress of keeping Ric's possible paternity from Sonny. Claudia got offended and left. Meanwhile, Sonny told Jason he won't move against Claudia without solid proof, so he's waiting on the paternity test. But if the baby proves to be Ric's, then Claudia is "out of here." Jason started to argue, but Olivia interrupted. She said she realizes now how important children are to him, so she needs to reveal a secret she's been keeping. Claudia arrived home in time to overhear Liv say she walked in on Claudia and Ric in a close moment. "Is there any chance that this baby could be Ric's?" she asked. He told her he knows it's possible. Claudia burst in, screaming denials and hurling abuse at Olivia for hooking up with Johnny and now moving on to Sonny. She also hurled a book at Liv as she fled. "You go to hell, too, you hypocritical bastard," she screamed at Sonny. "I've been faithful to you!" Sonny glared at her at replied, "We'll see." He said he doesn't care if she moves out. So she packed up, then took a last look around. "I'm gonna take care of you," she told the baby in her belly, as Sonny listened.
Carly could not locate Michael, so she summoned Jason, but he refused to hunt for the kid, noting that she can't keep her son on leash. She pointed out that the last time she listened to him, Michael got shot. On the road, Kristina revealed she had borrowed the car, and drove recklessly. As Kristina and Michael chatted, she took her eyes off the road for a moment. "Look out!" Michael shouted as the car swerved.
