"Georgie is not going to die," hissed Mac in the face of Monica's very Sophie's Choice suggestion that they keep her heart in mind for Maxie. And Femanda reiterated, "I won't allow it!" as inside the room, Georgie woke up long enough to talk to her big sis. "You're asking me to choose," Felicia cried. A guilt-ridden Dillon went off to talk with Diego as Tony urged Felicia to be prepared. Mac and Monica talked for a moment about bargaining with God. Tony came in to take Georgie away for surgery and a puzzled Maxie wondered why Felicia didn't accompany her. In a scene that would've been more wrenching had it been Kristina Wagner (sorry, Ms. Ferguson), Felicia admitted they would prep Maxie "just in case" and a horrified Maxie realized they wanted her to have her sister's heart. If they lost Georgie and it was the only way, she would agree to it. Diego tried to lift Dillon's spirits and the still-haunted boy went up to Mac and once again apologized. Mac accepted and grabbed Dillon's shoulder in comfort. Aw! After Georgie's surgery, her vitals were still weak...and Georgie began going toward the white and reddish light. Oh, no! "Don't die," said Maxie, joining her there. And Georgie started to code. Blue. It appeared that Maxie's sisterly plea hadn't worked...maybe because she's really Belle from DAYS.

Jax and Courtney were shocked to see Rachel at their door and even more shocked when the doc admitted she'd heard through the hospital grapevine that they were looking for a surrogate. Hey, how about me? Hey, how about NO? A miffed Rachel left and Mr. and Mrs. Jacks wondered where they could find someone less crazy to carry their child. Why, that would be Elizabeth — if she could get Lucky to dump the dirty money and the drugs he'd stolen and stop all the nutbar talk about it solving their problems. "This is your father talking," she accused. And they loved each other, but this was wack! If Lucky didn't get rid of the cash, she would! Sure enough, Lucky dumped the drugs and left the money at the PCPD (We know who wears the pants in this family! Hee!). They would find another way to make money. The hopeful duo kissed and the doorbell rang. It was not the Jehovah's Witnesses, it was not the Girl Scouts, it was Jax and Courtney! The four sat down to talk about Courtney's dreams of giving Jax a baby...with Liz as a surrogate, not a gestational host. A visibly uncomfortable Lucky pointed out that Elizabeth would grow to love this child. Could she give it up? Elizabeth admitted that she WOULD love the little half-Aussie, but it would be Jax and Courtney's, not hers. Yay for three people in the room! Courtney and Jax thanked Liz and Courtney turned to thank Lucky, knowing he was having a tough time adjusting. And in the doorway, Jax hugged Elizabeth tightly. Hmm...

Michael emerged from one of his weird late-night therapy sessions and ran off with Jodie as Dr. Thomas told Jason and Sam that Mikey needed new digs. Alan was happy to suggest Avenue Q. Uh, no! Jodie and Michael talked at The Pizza Shack and Jodie asked why Michael's parents didn't take him to therapy. Probably because Sonny was busy kicking Carly out for spilling that "David Guthrie" had up and died so Reese was a big fat liar. Sonny didn't want to hear it from Carly, no way! He made Reese 'fess up after his ex left taunting him about his ill-advised affair. Reese spilled alllll about Evan and Jamie and the deal gone bad but kept that whole Charlotte Thing to herself. Sonny fell for the sob story hook, line, and sinker and offered to have Evan whacked. No! Reese told him she couldn't live with that, so they would just make Evan "go away." Riiiight. Sonny sent a just-arrived Michael (Jason called him on that pizza craving) upstairs with Sam and he and Jason discussed whacking Evan anyway. Meanwhile, Dr. Thomas tried convincing Carly and Lorenzo to move Michael out of Sonny's. Alan was happy to suggest Avenue Q. again. "No way in Hell!" said Lorenzo, shooting him down (not literally). And as the Alcazars moved toward the elevator, Carly began ranting about Sonny and Reese instead of Alan's presumption. Lorenzo's face fell. This Sonny Thing was never going to stop, was it? Back at Castle Greyskull, Sam tucked Michael into bed as Jodie lurked outside his window. The adults had luckily missed the girl at The Pizza Shack but when Mikey heard that Max was going to fix the fence, he 'fessed up to Sam: he had a friend Jodie who used the hole to see him. Nearby, Reese called Evan...who was lurking at the set-of-the-day, The Pizza Shack, and asked to meet up. It was a trap, set by Sonny and Jason and they soon arrived at The Pizza Shack, too. Certainly not for a slice. But there was no Evan! Near a warehouse, Reese drew her gun and looked for her Creepy Ex. She'd duped the boys (again). And she found Evan lifeless and already posed like a chalk outline. Handy! And then someone yanked her away from the corpse...

At the Jacks' penthouse, Elizabeth told Jax, "I would like to give you the baby you can't have." Uh, why? She explained her and Lucky's money woes to the Awesome Aussie. Jax warmed to the idea but wondered what Lucky would have to say. Actually, she hadn't told him yet! Over at GH, Dr. Meadows had news for Courtney: her own eggs weren't viable. Cue Courtney's inadequacy issues! She came home upset to the Penthouse of Newlywed Love and Jax told her about the possibility of Liz carrying their child. Bad news, Courtney admitted, her eggs weren't sunny-side up. A hardboiled Lucky and Officer Murphy commiserated at the PCPD. A deal was going down on the docks and Murphy ran off to get approval to bust it while Liz came in and told Lucky all about the little $100,000 omelette she was going to give Courtney and Jax. They'd even have enough money left over from bills for a nest egg. Lucky was less than enthused (by the recapper's egg jokes), admitting he didn't want her carrying another man's child. Plus, there was his Manly Pride. An understanding Elizabeth went back to tell Mr. and Mrs. Jacks the bad news...and Officer Murphy had bad news, too! The bust on the shady dealings at Pier 52 was nixed. A lightbulb clicked on over Lucky's head...which was soon covered by a ski cap as he held up two thugs and stole their bag (nooo, you're too cute for a life of crime!). Courtney and Jax talked about getting a surrogate instead of a host but then Liz dropped by to dash their hopes. Jax offered to help out financially anyway and she turned him down, assuring him Lucky had it covered (oh, Honey, you have NO idea). She arrived home to a shaken Lucky and a big old pile of cash. "Oh my God. What did you do?" Meanwhile, Courtney and Jax decided to look for another surrogate and eat some torte when Rachel showed up at their door. "I am here to offer you a solution." Would the sexy doctor be eggs-actly what they needed?

Georgie fell unconscious after hitting her head at the Very Empty Pizza Shack and a panicked Dillon called 911. Meanwhile, Maxie coded and had to be stabilized with the trusty crash cart as an anguished Amanda...er...Felicia and Mac looked on. Monica warned Felicia that Maxie could need a transplant if a procedure to alleviate the pressure in her heart didn't work. And then Tony wheeled in Georgie. Oh, no! An already stressed Felicia began to freak and Mac immediately grabbed Dillon, demanding to know what had happened. "Once again, you have proven that my daughter is not safe around you," the distraught dad growled. Felicia (Amanda!) broke the news of Georgie's accident to Maxie (Belle!) and Maxie asked for Georgie to be wheeled in with her so she could let her feel the love. Aww! "Get out of here and go home," she urged and even got Mac to let a tearful Dillon stay and be supportive. But then Tony admitted that Georgie needed immediate risky surgery that she might not survive. "God forbid Georgie doesn't make it...her heart could save Maxie's life," a grim Monica reminded.

Ric gave Sonny the 411 about Reese and her creepy ex and in Reese's Room of Vague Back Story, Evan continued to gleefully threaten her about "full exposure" if she didn't cough up cash. He'd tell everybody she was the real Carly Roberts. An alarm went off at the nurses' station and when Sonny and Ric got to Reese's room, Reese had fallen out of bed (and she couldn't get up!). She claimed that a "David Guthrie" had tried to kill her and after Ric left to investigate, Sonny asked his new squeeze to come back to Castle Greyskull where she would be safe. Over there, Carly tried talking to Michael but he ignored her and crashed two toy cars together repeatedly. When his mama told him to quit it, he ran upstairs. The cars clearly creeped Carly out and as she took a power nap, she dreamed of her friend Charlotte's accident and herself screaming. She hit the hospital to lurk and overheard Durant victoriously telling Ric that Reese had duped them! The David Guthrie person had been dead for two months. Oooh. Meanwhile, back at Chez Corinthos, Sonny left Reese alone with a open briefcase full of a million dollars (the recapper is not kidding). Reese was tempted. So tempted. But then Sonny came back in and they made flirty small talk before getting down to the business of who tried to off her. Sonny warned Reese/Charlotte that lies had wrecked his marriage. But Reese didn't want to lose Sonny OR her life...so she stuck with the David Guthrie story. And Carly sauntered in, calling her a big, fat, liar! "It's time you found out who Reese really is..."

At the Metro Court, the Courtney-Carly friendship took a hit as Courtney lashed out at Carly's choice in hubbies and Carly told Courtney take responsibility for her own part in her miscarriage. Ouch! Also smarting was Lucky in the Little Apartment That Could, admitting to Elizabeth that his big manly pride kept him from asking rich big bro Nikolas to solve his financial crisis. Over at the hospital, Reese interrupted Creepy Evan before he could mention their dead son to Michael and sent the boy packing. "Be nice to me, Charlotte," Evan warned, flaunting his gun. Meanwhile, Amanda Cory...er...New Felicia had a mission for Dillon: Operation Get Georgie Some Fresh Air. Georgie was miffed to realize that her talents as Maxie's hairstylist weren't appreciated and was reluctant to go off for a job interview at the Pizza Shack in case Maxie died while she was gone. Speaking of jobs, Lucky did his as he told Ric that a guy who'd been paroled in February might have tried to off Reese. And then he caught Mac by the elevator asking for some overtime and extra shifts. At the nurses' station, Elizabeth asked the same of Bobbie, but Bobbie later reminded her that little Cameron was already in daycare 8 hours a day. Did she want to work so much that he'd show up as a recast teenager in three years?

After the C&C Battle Royale, Carly assured Lorenzo that their marriage wasn't about "settling" and Jax assured Courtney that "living well is the best revenge." They should double date...NOT. As Michael waited for his therapy appointment, he nixed an opportunity to call Roller Alan "granddad." Maxie urged Georgie to go nab that nifty Pizza Shack gig because "anything's better than you sitting here on Death Watch." At the Crystal Castle, Carly felt sorry for escalating the snark with Courtney and Lorenzo was miffed that his "high hopes" for their marriage were crashing and burning. At least "Morgan likes you," pointed out Carly and then her new hubby proceeded to go all Bridget Jones-Mark Darcy and tell her he loved her just as she was. Aww! Reese's ex, however, wasn't feeling so lovey-dovey. He'd picked cash over their kid during his kidnapping and was happy to pick up one million of Sonny's cash in exchange for not spilling the truth about Reese. Back at the hospital, Jax wondered how one chose a woman to "rent out her womb" and Dr. Meadows explained the details. Nearby, Elizabeth was still trying to work on Lucky's pride but he stood firm. Michael returned to Greystone after his session to a waiting Jodie (fix that hole in the fence, Sonny!) and she wondered if he wanted to know if his mom loved him for sure. Uh-oh. And then Ric showed up at Reese's room with a file on "Evan Tucker." Reese spilled the dirt about their history but refused to admit he was violent. As a giddy Courtney and Jax returned home to plan their babypalooza — boy, girl, twins, triplets, quads — Dr. Meadows asked Liz to pull patient files and call potential gestational hosts. Liz wondered, why would a woman DO that? Because some women like having babies...and it pays well. "Really? How much?"

Over at the curiously empty Pizza Shack, the guy that got this part on THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW gave Georgie the run of the place on her very first day and left her and Dillon to horse around! As they threatened each other with condiments and made out in extreeeme close-up on a picnic table, Mac, Felicia, and Maxie were touting Georgie's obvious qualifications to be a Pizza Shack employee. Maxie's laughter soon turned into gasps. She began to code...just as Georgie and Dillon's horseplay caused her to trip and smack her head on a picnic bench. OW! Elsewhere, Jax opened the door to Elizabeth, who said to his mystified expression, "I think the answer to my problem could be the answer to yours." Speaking of problems, Courtney arrived at La Casa Alcazar to mend fences with Carly but wound up glowering at Lorenzo instead. "I just want to make Carly happy," he told her. And she told him to wake up and smell the Sonny-flavored coffee. Over at La Casa Corinthos, Carly and Michael chatted about his therapy session and about missing each other. And Michael told his mom he'd be happy to live with her...if she divorced Alcazar. D'oh! At the hospital, Evan refused to skip town without cash. And he warned his ex...he'd spill about her being Charlotte "Carly" Roberts and coming to town to steal Sonny and Michael from her old pal Caroline "Carly" Benson. Double d'oh!

The new Mr. and Mrs. Jacks arrived home from their crosstown honeymoon to open presents and talk about their future. Courtney, clad in a fetching Indian-inspired silk suit, found pamphlets about infertility and gestational hosting on Jax's desk and admitted that she, too, had been looking into options for them to have kids. A cranky Nikolas arrived on the fifth floor of the hospital to see if Elizabeth had seen Emily. Nope, sorry! She'd skipped work...to play video games with Michael over at La Casa Corinthos! As the two bonded, Carly and Lorenzo were still beaming over at La Casa Alcazar and wishing that Mikey could be there to enjoy the kickin' new digs. Back at the hospital, Creepy Dude was threatening Reese again...except he called her "Charlotte." Oooh. Lucky stopped Sonny on his way to visit Reeselotte, telling him that someone had cut Reese's brake lines. "Good for you, Lucky. Showin' a little spine," Sonny condescended to the young cop. And overhearing Nik's kvetching, he informed the Princely One that his errant wife was hanging out over at his house. Creepy Dude, whose name is Evan, and Charleese continued to trade really vague barbs about their son Jamie's death and Reese's connection to Caroline-Carly and then Creepy Evan hid as Sonny walked in. Back over at Greyskull and the Crystal Castle, Emily was trying to get through to Michael by talking about her own past with Page while Carly and Lorenzo struggled with how to make Michael adjust to their new marriage. "I just can't shove you down his throat," Carly worried.

At the hospital, the junior Alcazar, Diego, brought Brook flowers and the two made up despite his designer wardrobe and her designer teen angst. Carly arrived at Castle Greyskull to pick up Michael and after a plaintive "do I haaaaave to?" look at Emily, the boy went off to visit his mom's new crash pad. Although he liked the tour, Mikey still didn't like his step-papi and exploded at his shocked mother. "You're selfish and everyone knows it." And an even crankier Nikolas showed up at Sonny's to see Emily, accusing her of using Michael to avoid him and their marriage. Say what? An armed Evan eavesdropped on Reese stonewalling Sonny's attempt to find out who tried to whack her (Silly Man, never stick a gun down your pants!). Back at the Little Apartment of Love, Elizabeth arrived home with a shiny digital camera and other impractical items as Lucky brooded over their finances. His insurance hadn't covered that pesky coma since he'd been suspended at the time. They were $50,000 in debt. And over at their place, Courtney and Jax mentioned that getting a gestational host to carry a baby to term cost around...$50,000. Hmmm. Coincidence??? Reese finally kicked the concerned and mushy Sonny out, with the reminder, "You are not my designated white knight!" but Evan ain't no fool. He accused her of wanting to steal Caroline's life like Caroline had stolen hers. Speaking of Caroline's life, Michael lashed out and ignored Carly's "I'm still your mother" comments. Max arrived to pick up the tyke from "Mrs. C...uh, Mrs. Alcazar" for his session with Dr. Thomas and a heartbroken Carly stayed behind in Lorenzo's arms.

At Castle Greyskull, Nikolas continued to confront Emily about her avoidance issues. "I can't speak to you when you're like this," she told him. "You can't speak to me at all...and that's the problem!" he pointed out! As the argument escalated, he grabbed her arm to keep her from walking away...and Sonny came home. Oops. At the Crystal Castle, Lorenzo promised Carly they would make their marriage work. As the twosome began to make out on the sofa, Diego walked in! Hiya Dad and Stepmami! Fortunately, he congratulated the newlyweds, liking the idea of being a real brother to Carly's sons. Back at the Hospital Room of Vague Back Story, Evan told Reese that if Sonny learned what she was really up to, all he'd give her was a bullet in her brain (hey, he gave Carly one, didn't he?). Fortunately, Sonny was busy overprotecting somebody else. As Nikolas huffed over Emily telling Sonny about her rape, the mobster kicked him out of the house...but a shaken Emily stayed behind. She quickly assured Sonny that Nik wasn't abusive and he told her all about his mom Adela. "I've forgotten how to trust," Emily admitted, realizing that she WAS hiding from Nikolas. And Sonny offered her his home..."for as long as you need it." Over at the Metro Court, Courtney and Jax were excited about gestational hosting and possibly having a baby next year...but not so excited to see Carly and Lorenzo. As Courts saw the big shiny rock on Carly's hand, she gasped, "You actually married this jerk?" Back in her room, Evan and Reese/Reeselotte/Chareese/Whoever were still trading threats...when Michael peeked in looking for Sonny. "Is he your boyfriend?" he asked Reese of Creepy Dude. Uh, no. And Creepy Evan's smile widened. His own little boy would be about the same age as Michael...

Alexis brought Kristina to the hospital to get stitches for an owie and told Liz not to call Ric, who was nearby talking to Lucky and Nikolas about Reese's probably-not-an-accident. Ric urged Lucky to check into Reese's past...or they could've just checked next door, where a creepy dude loomed over the ex-Fed menacingly. Creepy Dude vanished and Reese stonewalled Lucky's attempts to find out who might want to kill her. She tried to do the same to Ric, but Ric warned her, "These kinds of things have a way of backfiring." Nikolas went up to keep Alexis company on Liz's urging and listened to his harried aunt unload about her stress. "I miss my husband," she admitted. And as she continued to rave about Ric's good points, a touched Ric overheard. Nikolas wasted no time in making himself scarce so the estranged couple could chat about Kristina playing with knives. And although they bonded over a stitched-up Krissy and their new baby kicking, talk of divorce was still between them. Meanwhile, Elizabeth and an uneasy Lucky agreed to meet up at the Metro Court for dinner and after she arrived in a cute white outfit and they dined, Lucky's credit card was declined. Oops. But Nikolas was there and he covered the check, telling the waitress to pretend Lucky's card went through fine a second time. Nik and Em marveled at how close Lucky and Liz were despite their monetary woes. Nik sighed to a wistful Emily, "Right now, we're together and that's enough" and the two began to dance to one of those haunting Rie Sinclair songs that GH loves.

At Castle Greyskull, Michael was underwhelmed at Carly's assurance that he would grow to love Lorenzo, telling his mom and step-papi, "Morgan might, but I won't." He resolutely told his mama that he was staying at Sonny's. As soon as the tyke was upstairs with Emily, Jason, Sam, and Sonny all proceeded to scowl at Lorenzo. "We're going to make this transition work," assured Carly. But when a cool Jason refused to wish her and Lorenzo well, she told her oldest pal to take a hike. He stalked off with Sam in tow. Sonny told her burning that bridge was stupid and Carly countered by asking Sonny how he'd react if Jason told him he'd never be happy with Reese. An irked Sonny refused to pressure Michael into therapy or living with someone new. Yeah, because he knew Michael would pick him anyway, Carly pointed out! Crabby Sonny warned Carly, "You should have thought of that before you married Alcazar." Upstairs, Emily and Michael had a cute talk about eavesdropping on family and the importance of therapy. They made a deal to continue going to shrinks and she went down to tell Sonny — who was skeptical about Em's expertise until she succinctly told him about her rape and how therapy helped. Gee, did Sonny feel sheepish! Although still uncomfortable, he agreed to let Michael continue seeing Dr. Thomas...and then kvetched to Jason about Carly's choice in husbands. "She chose to move on. Now I'm going to do the same!" (Recapper's note: Didn't he move on with Reese already?)

Carly and Lorenzo arrived at a gorgeous new house (She-Ra's Crystal Castle to He-Man's Castle Greyskull), giggling like the giddy newlyweds they are, while, elsewhere, Reese revealed to Monica that she'd had extensive surgery due to a car wreck in high school (the relevance of which is coming, along with the anvils). Over at the Crystal Castle, Carly was stunned to realize that this house down the lake from the Q mansion was for her and Lo's family! Awww! She was even more stunned when her ecstatic esposo gave her keys to a shiny new car. No way, Jose, she told him! Over at the hospital, Reese fell asleep, flashing back to someone screaming...it was the recapper, as ABC News interrupted briefly to talk about the Michael Jackson verdict! GH came back to Jason and Sam playing with cold cream at Jason's penthouse (yes, it still exists!) and Jason assuring Sam that she came first in his life. Then, the mysterious Jodie popped up at Greyskull's French doors to sing a chorus of "Parents Just Don't Understand" with an unsupervised Michael (does Sonny NOT have guards anymore?). Over at the Crystal Castle, Carly revealed to Lorenzo that she had a Thing about driving ever since she saw her best friend die in a car wreck in high school. Reese, meanwhile, dreamed of two cheerleaders and murmured, "Caroline." "Who is she?" asked Sonny, sitting at her bed side. Interestingly enough, Carly was telling Lorenzo all about her friend Charlotte "Carly" Roberts, who was soooo cool and used to call her Caroline. They'd had a fight right before she crashed. It sounded to Lorenzo like Caroline-Carly felt responsible for what happened to Charlotte-Carly. "I am," a haunted Caroline-Carly whispered.
