General Hospital Recaps
GH Week of October 26, 2009
Monday
Dante urged Kate to quit talking, but she assured him there was an aspect of the whole Sonny situation he wasn't aware of. Before she could make it clear for him, Olivia interrupted! (And Coleman sauntered up to tell Dante to "give it up" because Kate's all his. Ha!) Olivia assured Dante that Connie would keep quiet, but it sure didn't seem like it! So Olivia dragged her cousin aside to threaten her. Dante followed to point out that if Kate blew his cover, he's dead. "It's not that simple!" Kate began, but Dante cut her off, saying it was. When he walked away, the cousins continued to argue. Coleman tried to intervene and then poured Kate some more booze. Olivia pointed out to Kate that Dante finding out Sonny is his father won't make him back off his case. "Stop running your mouth," she said, promising to step in before anything got violent. Kate listed all the violence she'd experienced, warning Olivia that father and son could very well end up killing each other. Meanwhile, Dante dropped by Johnny's garage to talk about Claudia's erratic behavior. Later, Michael visited Johnny, too, to
tell him he's the only one who might be able to save Claudia. Michael revealed he'd remembered everything about his shooting, and he wanted to give Johnny the opportunity to protect his sister, like Michael would protect Kristina.
At Kelly's, Michael told Kristina about Claudia's involvement in his shooting, noting Claudia would be toast if he told Sonny. Kristina naively thought Sonny might just turn Michael's info over to the police. Michael quickly clued her in about how Dad works...and admitted Claudia would deserve it! Kristina urged caution and Michael lashed out at her, but then apologized. When Michael stormed away, she sighed to Mike that "Anger Boy's just in one of his moods." Then, Kiefer appeared to give her some attention and set up a date for some more sex. When Kiefer took her home, she assured him she'd work something out. Kiefer then did his whole good-boy act for Alexis' benefit. He and Alexis dished Harvard vs. Yale, while Kristina looked on. Kiefer asked Alexis if he could take K to a coffeehouse on Thursday, and left after securing permission. Alone, Kristina couldn't believe Alexis had agreed. Well, she just wanted her daughter to be happy!
Jason and Sam went over all their Devlin evidence. Jason just wanted confirmation that it all proved Claudia arranged Michael's shooting. They listened to Claudia and Ian's call and, yup, it sounded pretty clear. On the jet back from Puerto Rico, an appreciative Sonny told Claudia he was throwing her a birthday party. Carly was doing a little work on the couch, and assured Jax she was taking care of herself when Sonny called to make
arrangements for his party. At home, Robin found Patrick all distracted and moody. He opened up about Claudia and what their responsibility was if Sonny and Jason ordered her death. "Maybe we should just stay out of it," Robin shrugged, noting that whatever Jason and Sonny choose to do is "on them." Patrick held her, adding he's lucky to be her husband.
Jason and Sam tried to figure out what to do with their newfound knowledge, while Sonny told Claudia about losing Lily in a car bombing, and Claudia promised to be a great stepmom to his kids. She got in some shots at Alexis, too, suggesting they spend more time with Kristina. Jax watched Carly do her party-arranging best on the phone with Marty. When she got off, Jax reminded her that Sonny had made his own choices where Claudia is concerned. Back at Jason's, Sam ran all kinds of "what if" scenarios, and Jason got more and more agitated. When Spinelli came in, Jason apologized for yelling at him earlier and told him he needs to stay away for a while. "You're giving him deniability," Sam concluded. Carly was looking forward to bleeding Sonny dry at his party, and when Jax didn't want her anywhere near it, she wondered why. Jax covered, trying to just seem overprotective, and then brought in
Olivia to take over the planning. Sam warned Jason against acting rashly, asking what he would do about Michael. Up in the air, Sonny's jet hit some turbulence and when Claudia freaked, he comforted her.
Tuesday
Johnny appreciated Michael coming to him with his concerns...and wondered why. Michael explained his coma memories, saying he had to tell his dad. And what had motivated Johnny and Claudia's actions last year wouldn't matter to Sonny. Back at Jason's, he was determined to make her pay for what she'd done and Sam was totally on board. As Johnny made a call about Sonny and Claudia's flight, Jason dropped by. The duo acknowledged the importance of
protecting their sisters and Jason almost apologetically noted there's no way to save Johnny's. When Jason came home, he told Sam Sonny is throwing Claudia a birthday party, but their flight was delayed. Sam suggested he go to wherever they're waiting out the weather and kill her. Jason, nixing that
idea, hoped Claudia wouldn't take Johnny down with her. They decided to wait till Thursday to drop the bomb! Michael, meanwhile, came home to Carly but kept mum about all the murderous shenanigans going on. When Jason worried about Sam getting involved in all of this, she noted it was a little late for that and they kissed. Back at the garage, the nefarious Joey Limbo arrived to menace Johnny.
On the Haunted Star, Luke advised Ethan to give Nikolas a wide berth. Naturally, Nik and Rebecca walked in for a night on the town. Luke warned him to take his heart off his sleeve before "somebody has it for breakfast." Meanwhile, Lucky (now Jonathan Jackson) showed up at Elizabeth's, asking, "Remember me?" They flirted awkwardly as Liz looked for her jacket and he helped her with her necklace. She excused her nerves, saying that going out with him gives her "butterflies" and suggested going to the Haunted Star and
making nice with Luke. Luke greeted the duo, offering to stake them on a couple of games. Then, Liz and Nikolas made googly eyes across the room and she fantasized making out with him on the craps table. All of a sudden, she was ready to spend the night at home with Lucky! Luke was piqued but then Tracy showed up to tell him Bernie had called to invite them to Sonny's party. Nearby, Ethan ran the roulette table and Nik encouraged Rebecca to bet freely on him. Snark ensued as Ethan tried to get Rebecca to see the "he's using you" light. As Ethan got more accusatory, it turned into a full-on brawl in the middle of the casino. Luke broke it up and he and Tracy warned Ethan against tangling with Cassadines. Lucky brought Liz home to the Spencer house. She thanked him for his patience, assured him she was
thrilled they're engaged and put the moves on him! Unfortunately, she was fantasizing about Nikolas and pulled away before Lucky's shirt even came off. Guilty Liz made all kinds of excuses for her reaction. Lucky assured her he'd wait as long as it takes for her to "trust this" again. The guilt-ridden cheater bolted! Rebecca tried to reach out Nikolas but,
uninterested, he took her home. Back at Casa Spencer, Lucky called Laura (offscreen) and opened up about Elizabeth being afraid of something. While Lucky had his one-sided conversation, Liz met up with Nikolas on the docks and they ended up kissing passionately. "I can't give up on her," Lucky sighed...while, elsewhere, Luke saw Liz and Nik's clinch!
On the pier, Ronnie and and Dante clashed over his mission...and a clearly impaired Lulu stumbled forward, realizing he was a cop! Dante quickly surmised Lulu was as high as a kite. Her rambles revealed she'd gotten roofied at a Crimson party. Dante wanted to get her to a hospital. "That's
very conscientious of you, officer," she slurred. Dante tried to play dumb as Lulu put two and two together. "You're undercover!" she gasped, guessing he was trying to bust Sonny. Dante hustled her to his room at Kelly's, and she accused him of taking her there for sex. He assured her he's not into drugged girls...while she admitted she's had lots of fantasies about him. Her effusive confession led them into a kiss and his shirt nearly coming off, but Dante pulled away, insisting he can't sleep with her. Lulu refused to go to the hospital and conked out on his bed, still calling him "officer."
Wednesday
A hungover Luke strolled up to a waiting Lucky on the Elm Street Pier. Lucky wondered what it was that had made Luke "dive headfirst into a bottle" this time. Had Laura called him? Nope. Lucky assured Luke that everything was okay with his mom. He'd called her to update her about him and Elizabeth.
When Luke got squirrelly, Lucky assured him he didn't have doubts about marrying Liz. Luke brought up Jason and Jake and any "residual disappointment." Lucky countered by bringing up Ethan and said he trusts Elizabeth. Luke said he didn't want to see Lucky get his heart broken. Disgusted Lucky had no idea what he was getting at and added that he loves his sons despite them not having his DNA. Later, Nikolas caught up with Lucky, and Lucky vented about his dad's lame insights but noted, "the bastard still knows me better than anyone." As Lucky talked about having forgiven Elizabeth for the Jake secret, Nik squirmed. He wondered if Lucky was having second thoughts...and if there's something Liz might not be telling him! Later, Lucky dropped by GH to visit Liz. She apologized for blowing him off the night before. Lucky made her balk when he said Nikolas had told him everything...that Liz loves him but is afraid to hurt him
again. "I don't want perfection. I want you, Elizabeth," he assured, asking her to find a way to forgive herself. After Lucky walked away, Liz heaved a big ol' guilty sigh!
Freshly showered and towel-clad Dante came back to his room to see Lulu asleep, so he dropped the towel to get dressed. Naturally, Lulu woke up, saw him naked, shrieked and hid her face in a pillow. Dante left and returned fully dressed and Lulu searched for her shoes, unable to remember what happened the night before. Dante explained he'd found her roofied on the pier and all they'd done was sleep: him on the chair and her in the bed. When Lulu kept being clueless, Dante fished around to see if she recalled his and Ronnie's chat. He also swore he hadn't taken advantage of her, no matter how adorable she was.
Sam and Jason conferred about the Claudia situation. Jason then called Max, asking him to discreetly follow Ms. Walking Target. Knowing that Claudia needs him, Johnny tried and failed to flee from Joey Limbo. Claudia demanded
a chat with Olivia about Dante before the big party. When Sonny wondered where Claudia was going, she made excuses. Then, she noted tonight was going to change both of their lives. She asked Sonny to trust her. Back at the garage, jailed Anthony assured Johnny via phone that Joey would let him go in good time...after Joey took out Jason and Sonny! And Anthony didn't much care if Claudia's life was in danger. Johnny tried to get through to Joey, who wasn't having it. Back at Sonny's, Claudia worried about Johnny not
getting back to her and Sonny told Dante to make sure Claudia gets to the hotel safely. Across town, Sam visited Michael, who fished for info about Jason's hatred of Claudia. Meanwhile, Carly dropped by Sonny's new base of operations to visit Jason. Jason wanted her to go home, but she wouldn't...especially since Michael was acting weird about Sonny's party. "He's keeping something from me!" she insisted, demanding Jason 'fess up. Jason deflected, reminding her of her delicate condition. Across town, Jax
lambasted Sonny for getting Carly involved in the party planning and Dante ushered Claudia into a Metro Court suite. Claudia warned him that if Johnny didn't show up at the party, Dante and Olivia would pay for it! Later, Sonny told a rattled Dante he wants him to work the party, while Claudia demanded Olivia tell her where her MIA brother is. Olivia insisted she didn't know and Claudia threatened to spill the beans about Dante to Sonny tonight! Sam warned Jason that Michael had been questioning her about him. If Jason took
out Claudia, clearly Michael would know it! It would change their relationship forever. Johnny tried to sneak out, only to get caught by Joey's goons and cuffed to the wall. Back at Sonny's, Dante rifled through Sonny's papers as a frantic Michael arrived looking for his father. A rushed Sonny arrived at the office, where Jason wasted no time playing him the Claudia/Ian tape.
Thursday
Carly wanted to go to Sonny's party with Lulu and enjoy it despite her imminent due date. Michael told Dante he must tell his father about Claudia's actions and Dante cautioned him against acting rashly. At the Metro Court, Olivia attacked a threatening Claudia and the two women brawled. Hotel security broke them up and dragged Olivia off. On the waterfront, a chained Johnny continued to try and convince Joey Limbo to let him go. Jason played Sonny Claudia's incriminating call and asked him what he wants to do about it. Jason explained how they'd found the evidence and Sonny curtly told him he had a birthday party to attend and, "I expect you to be there." At Carly's, Lulu wanted Carly to check Dominic out for her, but her uneasy cousin realized she should probably stay home. Morgan and Molly were on the waterfront (sans their parents' knowledge) for a school project when they heard Johnny screaming for help. The kids decided to rescue him! Molly asked the thug guards to help her get some water samples and guide her out of the warehouse district. Then, Morgan ran in to check on Johnny, who warned him to run before the guards returned.
At the Metro Court, Dante assured Jax he's working on bringing Sonny down. Alexis, who witnessed the tense convo, caught up with her favorite ex-husband. As Luke and Tracy arrived, Mike thanked Dante for influencing Sonny to reach out to him again. Then, Robin (with Patrick) noted Dante reminds her a little of a young Sonny and Maxie cornered Dante for an intentions speech on Lulu's behalf. Luckily, Lulu nipped that in the bud! Maxie then got the 411 on the drugging fiasco and beamed that Lulu was "in" where Dante was concerned. Elsewhere, Jason vented to Sam about Sonny's apparent inaction. He shouldn't have have worried: Max drove a gun-toting, stony Sonny up to the hotel. Sam warned Jason about Michael and Sonny turning on him and urged him to rein in his impulse to off Claudia on his own. Back at the party, Dante called Carly to say Michael had shown up and Carly told him she'd be there soon to collect her son. Nearby, Alexis told Jax she had a feeling "something really, really bad is gonna happen." As Max and Milo waited outside Claudia's suite, Sonny went in and told her he has a surprise for her. No, it wasn't a bullet to the head, it was some bling! "You are finally getting what you deserve," he murmured, as he toasted her. Meanwhile, at the PCPD, Olivia pleaded with Mac to let her get to her son before Claudia blew the big secret. He released her! Morgan came back with a tool to break Johnny's chains and then Johnny and the kids fled Joey's guards. Morgan and Molly's AWOL siblings, Kristina and Michael, caught up at the party...where the mayor offered Alexis her job as DA back. She turned him down! A few feet away, Luke told Tracy he was worried about Lucky and Liz and Maxie called Lulu out on her feelings for Dante.
A somber Max and Milo guided Sonny and Claudia into the party and the cake was brought out. As the chorus of "Happy Birthday" cued up, it was amazing how no one could tell Sonny was borderline homicidal. Afterwards, Sonny made
nice with the mayor and caught up with Mike...who admitted he's surprised by this party gesture. Then, Jason and Sam arrived and Sam assured Jax nothing would happen tonight. Across town, Johnny dropped Morgan and Molly at home
with Mercedes and bolted back out to save his sister. When Carly showed up at the Metro Court, Marty blocked her path but she talked her way past him. As Sonny continued to circle Claudia like a bird of prey, Dante and Lulu had a sweet moment. Then, Sonny called for everyone's
attention! As he got ready to lower the boom, Johnny struggled to get upstairs. Sonny name-checked Luke and his loyal wife Tracy, praised Robin and Patrick for saving Michael, and acknowledged Mike. He even thanked Alexis! He pointedly thanked Jason for standing by him and finally,
finally turned to Claudia. "How can I ever repay you?" he mused.
Friday
Sonny speechified about how Claudia had shown him how worthless anybody is without trust and honor. As the guests looked on, Sonny spelled it out: "You tried to kill me and you shot my son instead, you faithless bitch." And he'd deal with the people (aka Johnny) who'd helped cover it up. Olivia tried to intervene but he shook her off, continuing to lambast Claudia. Johnny stepped out, swearing the hit was his fault. Sonny would be happy to blame Johnny but he'd heard the evidence. He called out Claudia plotting the hit with Jerry and publicly blasted Jax for covering for his brother. When
Claudia brought up their baby, Sonny said he was thankful the baby hadn't made it. They snarled insults, and when Sonny yelled for Max and Milo to take Claudia, she pulled her own gun and dragged Carly to the elevator. Everyone beseeched Claudia to let Carly go. Carly begged Jason to take the kill shot, but then the elevator doors closed and Carly went into labor! Jason had Sonny release Johnny as he was needed to get through to his sister. John and Jason all ran down the stairs as Jax and Sonny sniped in an elevator. Meanwhile, the party guests reeled. Michael told Lulu this was all his fault and Dante calmed the boy down, telling him he wasn't to blame. Alexis and Sam comforted Kristina, who worried for her brother and his mom. She also feared she'd pushed Claudia over the edge.
Claudia forced Carly into a car and drove away just as Jason, Johnny, Jax and Sonny bolted outside. They then did some policework (since cops are seldom necessary in Port Chuck) and questioned everyone in the lobby about the getaway car. In the vehicle, Carly tried to get through to Claudia. To no avail. The party guests continued to deal with the drama and Dante told everyone to wait till the police arrived to take statements. "Who died and made you Chief of Police?" snarked Luke, who then snuck out to consult some "sources" about Carly and Claudia. Patrick and Robin commiserated with Sam, who wouldn't detail what was in Ian's duffel. Olivia, meanwhile, urged Dante to just come out and tell everyone who he is. Down in the lobby, a frantic Jax updated Mac. Back on the road, Claudia had nothing left to lose. As Mac and his detectives went upstairs to question everyone, Dr. Lee arrived to consult with Jax and revealed she and Carly had discussed c-section because natural birth was too risky! As Claudia tearfully told Carly that Sonny hadn't left her any choices, Jason called Spinelli to try and track the car.
Upstairs, Dante updated Detective Williams, who wondered if Olivia had been aware of Claudia's part in the shooting! Nearby, Krissy finally "got it" about Alexis' feelings towards Sonny. "He was a monster," she wept of her dad's actions tonight. Sonny overheard and promised he'd explain everything later. He then directed Dante to make a list of Zacchara safehouses. Tracy observed that Lulu is concerned about Dante and also assured her that Carly can take care of herself. Nearby, Robin opened up to Patrick about the occasional "rude awakening"s that Sonny's mob life offers up.
Back in the car, Carly hoped Claudia would "burn in Hell" for what she'd done and Claudia coldly wondered how she would feel if her child was taken from her. In the hotel lobby, Johnny told Jason about Joey Limbo being under orders from Anthony. Mac learned what kind of car Claudia took and repeated the plate number aloud. He stopped Jason from bolting with the info and Jax blasted Mac for taking a "moral stand." Up in the restaurant, Sonny told Detective Williams he could get the evidence against Claudia from his
office. Then, Alexis chided Sonny for not going to the police for once. The detective told the guests they were free to go, warning them of the storm and road conditions. Then, Olivia comforted Sonny as Dante looked on. Back in the lobby, Michael walked up just as Jax yelled he wouldn't let Carly and his baby die just because Michael was shot! Jax apologized for how that had sounded and then everyone tried to convince Mac to let Jason go. On the road, a desperate Carly grabbed the wheel from Claudia and the car crashed!
