At the penthouse, Sam tore into Alexis yet again, blaming her for all the losses Sam has suffered over the past few years. Alexis flipped and said she had had enough of Sam's attitude and indifference and she refused to apologize any more. Alexis noted that Sam's attitude will change when she has children of her own, then left.

At the nurse's station, Robin was alarmed when Patrick had a dizzy spell. He chalked it up to hunger. "This is your charming way of asking me out to dinner?" Robin asked. No, he was bucking for an invite to her apartment for a home-cooked meal. Just then, an angry Noah flew in, enraged that Patrick hasn't taken Noah's name off the liver transplant list. Noah insisted it should go to a worthy recipient, not a drunk. When Noah pulled a flask from his jacket, Patrick slapped it out of his father's hand. As Bobbie looked on, Robin advised Noah not to throw Patrick's generosity back in his son's face. Noah accused Patrick of wanting to look good in front of Robin and stormed off.

Just a Jax and Carly decided not to take things any further, they kissed and fell onto the couch. Jax then broke from the grope and accused Carly of being after him for access to John. Furious, Carly stormed out. Jax threw a glass across the room, then called Alexis and asked for her "help" with Carly. They must have talked off-screen, because Alexis then went to see Carly and revealed that Jax wanted Carly named John's legal guardian should anything ever happen to him. Carly then dropped a bomb on Alexis, noting that in Sonny's will, Carly is also named as Kristina's guardian. "When hell freezes over," Alexis fired back. Meanwhile, Jax visited John and re-iterated his motives for keeping the baby away from Nikolas and the evil Cassadine legacy.

Sonny and Emily were locking lips at Casa de Corinthos when Jason arrived. Just as he was about to open the door and discover them, Max faked a fall down the stairs, claiming he had tripped over one of Morgan's toys. Em slipped out, and Jason filled Sonny in on Carly's date with Jax. Sonny was skeptical when Jason said he thinks Carly might be falling for the bossy Aussie. The topic of conversation shifted when Jason filled Sonny in about Sam's background — and that her biological mother is Alexis. Sonny laughed — until he realized that Jason was serious. "If this is your idea of a joke, then your sense of humor hasn't gotten any better since your coma," Sonny replied. Jason then showed him proof. When Sonny realized he had slept with a mother and daughter and gotten them both pregnant, he asked, "What kind of creepy, freaky crap is that? My life just turned into an episode of JERRY SPRINGER." After their meeting, Emily arrived, laid down on the house and asked the man coming down the stairs to kiss her. It was Jason!

On the roof, Nikolas told Maxie that this was the spot where he and Courtney first acknowledged their feelings for one another. Rooftops in the rain are very romantic, Maxie noted. Nik then vented about his problems with Jax denying him visits with Court's son. "How are you with brutal honesty?" Maxie asked. She then told Nik that his behavior gives Jax a case and suggested that he work on getting Jax to trust him again. Nik thanked her for her good advice, then changed his brooding location to the docks, where he bumped into Sam and they explained pleasantries. "I never met anyone who had their own island," noted the secret Cassadine. He opened up about his connection to John. Sam sympathized.

Bobbie went up to the roof to talk to Noah. "What clicks on in your head that allows you to be so cruel to your son?" she asked her long-ago lover. When he stated he was dying, she pointed out that he's not dead yet. They addressed some serious parental issues (and for long-time fans, it was SO great to see Bobbie and Noah sharing screen time again!). However, Bobbie was frustrated that no one could get through to Noah. "The most precious gift Tony gave Lucas was his last — unconditional love and acceptance," Bobbie stressed. "This is not the way to protect your son." And with that, she left Noah alone to think.

In the elevator, Maxie told Robin she saw "Dr. Hottie" in the locker room and pumped Robin for info on their relationship. The girls giggled about boys and dating. "Seize the moment," advised Maxie. Robin went into the locker room, where a shirtless Patrick was talking on his cell, saying he'd bet 100 dollars "that she'd do it." Robin wanted to hear no more and went home. Later, Patrick arrived with flowers. She was wearing a sexy dress; the apartment setting was romantic, and Robin started taking Patrick's clothes off. When he balked, she brought up the bet.

Jax showed up at Carly's, where they got hot and heavy all over again. In mid-grope, Nikolas arrived and stated, "Wouldn't Courtney be surprised at how you chose to grieve for her?"

Thursday, March 16, 2006
Though Carly was poised to tell Jason that Sonny and Emily had gone away together, she changed her mind and kept mum. Jason was suspicious and asked what she was trying not to tell him. She covered, of course, then got him off the topic by bringing up Jax. Frustrated, Jason pulled Carly out of the penthouse, put her in an elevator and sent her on her way.

Georgie witnessed Diego's attack on the docks. When she tried to call for help, Manny emerged from the shadows and scared off the goons. Diego was skeptical of Manny's assistance, but Georgie filled him in on Manny's operation and the fact that he's a "changed man." Manny left, but Diego refused to let Georgie call the police. He said he'd handle it in his own way. Alcazar showed up. "You need to be protected," he demanded. But, Diego wouldn't hear of it. He told his pop to focus on Skye and the baby, and he'd take care of himself. On a nearby rooftop, Manny met up with the attackers and gave them money. "I'll be in touch," he stated.

Ric visited with Sam at Kelly's, where he mentioned the encounter between Manny and Kristina. Sam had no sympathy for Ric, as she blamed him and Alexis for setting Manny free in the first place. She told him to kill Manny himself — Alexis would get him acquitted. Just then, Alexis showed up and was shocked when Sam blurted out that Ric wanted Manny dead. As the Lansings discussed what to do about him, Manny showed up. Everyone was cordial, but Alexis later warned Ric not to act.

Nikolas pleaded with Jax for a chance to see baby John, but the bossy Aussie turned him down. "Courtney wanted me to be a part of John's life, but you don't care about that, do you?" queried Nik as he stormed off. At the hospital, Nik asked Elizabeth to bend the rules and see John but she refused. Just then, Emily showed up. She took him up the the roof to unload. Nik vented that he felt he was in a freefall ever since Courtney died. Em was sweet and sympathetic. Nik stayed alone after Em left and later, Maxie showed up to get some fresh air and lent Nik an ear.

Sam returned to the penthouse and filled in Jason about her encounter with Alexis. Just then, Sonny called and Jason told him they had a lot to discuss. Jason then mentioned to Sam that they should tell someone else about her connection to Alexis. At Sonny's, Max filled his boss in on Carly and Jason's actions while he was away, then stood up for himself that Sonny's got to take care of his own personal life or else he'll quit. (Yay, Max!) Sonny gave Morgan a toy car that he can ride in, then offered Max a drink. Max declined, and warned his boss that, "All hell is going to break loose" when Jason discovers the deception. Later, Emily showed up at Sonny's to visit the boys. (Yeah, right!) They kissed. Sonny vowed he'd never give Em up. They kissed again, just as Jason arrived at the house. Uh, oh....

Across town, Carly met up with Jax and kissed him. For real! Carly explained that she's not on the rebound from Sonny. She totally opened up about how she grew to care for him and about him. "Let's just see where this takes us," said Jax. "As long as it's not to spite Sonny."

Alexis went to the penthouse and apologized to Sam for Ric's earlier behavior. She asked Sam if they could be civil with each other, then spotted Sam's law books. Sam mistook Alexis's surprise for scoffing and barked that the law is in her genes.

At Kelly's, Georgie told Lucky and Jesse about Diego's attack, and asked them not to mention it Dillon. As the cops grilled Diego about the skirmish, he was more concerned about protecting Georgie. They managed to convince Diego to come down to the station and look at a lineup, and they all agreed to keep Georgie out of it. Meanwhile, Alcazar met up with Manny and thanked him for coming to Diego's aid. Manny played dumb, but Alcazar remained suspicious.

Dillon was not happy to enter the hallway upstairs at Kelly's and find a towel-clad Diego and Georgie talking together. "It doesn't get much weirder than this," he noted. They all agreed to handle their living/working conditions like adults. Later, Maxie showed up and warned Diego to stay away from her sister. Meanwhile, Dillon was disturbed that Georgie wanted to hold off on college to put him through school. Maxie interrupted and gave the newlyweds some money, calling it a belated wedding present. After Georgie left, Maxie slipped that Georgie knew Diego was out of jail. Jesse showed up and was surprised by Dillon's calm attitude regarding Diego. Downstairs, Diego told Georgie about what life was like in prison. Maxie then warned her sister not to allow Diego to get under her skin, while Jesse reminded Diego that one slip up and he's back to jail. After they left, Diego caught Georgie in mid-fall, just as Dillon came down the steps. He grabbed Diego and ordered him to stay away from his wife. Georgie explained it was all innocent and Diego defended her for not mentioning seeing him. Diego left. Georgie apologized to her husband, and she and Dillon made up. Later, Georgie smiled while reading one of Diego's letters from jail, then hid it from Dillon when he came in.

Sam surprised Jason by voicing her desire to attend law school. She stressed that it was not an attempt to be like Alexis. Rather, she realized how helpless she was when Alexis "twisted the law in Manny's favor." Jason said he'd be supportive if it's what Sam really wants. Sam said she plans to be the next Erin Brockovich.

At the hospital, Carly learned from an oblivious Monica that Emily backed out of the spa trip with her mother. Carly then went to Max to confirm her suspicions — that Emily went away with Sonny. When Carly told Max she knew, a nervous Max took a drink. Carly threatened Max to come clean about Sonny's whereabouts, or else she'd tell the world about their "affair." She then came on to a frantic Max. "Help!" he whispered. Poor Max! He refused to give up Sonny's whereabouts, then fainted. Max came to, and hinted that the reason for all the secrecy was to keep Jason in the dark for fear of how he'd respond.

Manny called an accomplice to say that Diego snitched on one of their associates. Then, Alcazar showed up and told Manny that they can't proceed with their plans against Sonny until he can be sure Diego is safe. Manny played dumb and said okay. After Alcazar left, Manny bumped into Kristina, which unnerved Ric. Manny told Kristina to tell her mother that, "Manny says hi." Ric rushed Kristina into Kelly's. Later, Ric show up at Jason's doorstep and asked him to kill Manny. While he admitted he'd like to, Jason refused, stating that would give Ric leverage over Jason. Later, Jason summoned Max to the penthouse and said he needs to talk with Sonny. Just then, Carly barged in and blurted to Jason that they've been lied to. Would she spill?

In Spain, Emily planned sightseeing excursions, but she and Sonny ended up taking about Jason instead. Emily smiled when Sonny said he trusts her. Sonny then spoke to Michael, and assured his son he'd be home soon. Sonny then passed on the sightseeing, stating it was time for them to get back to Port Charles. He then stated that he's sure he and Emily are a good thing. They mooned over each other, then left. On the plane, they discussed their cover story and felt guilty about lying to their loved ones.

On the docks, Lucas informed Guy that Lucky is keeping him abreast of Frank's case. Lucas spilled that Frank got himself an attorney and is planning to fight the gay-bashing charges. Guy was concerned that Lucas would flake out when it came time to testify. Later at the hospital, Lucas and Maxie compared problems. They both agreed they wanted the love that Dillon and Georgie have. Sigh....

On the docks, Lorenzo apologized to Diego for his behavior, and warned his son that he's in serious trouble. He begged his son to come home for his own protection, but Diego refused. "Watch your back," Lorenzo advised his firstborn. "It's become second nature, pop," Diego assured. Alone, Diego penned a love letter to Georgie. Just then, two men came up and attacked Diego while Manny watched from the shadows.

As mentioned yesterday, Diego's appearance at the Quartermaine mansion caused chaos, and when Skye collapsed, Lorenzo blurted out she was pregnant. An enraged Tracy punched Luke. "The baby is mine," Lorenzo clarified. "Skye, how could you do this to me?" queried a crushed Luke. Skye told Luke she tired of waiting for him and couldn't be happier with Lorenzo. then, Georgie pointed out that in the melee, Diego left. After Lulu pointed out that Georgie seemed overly upset about Diego, Georgie and Dillon stormed out, followed by Lorenzo, who went to search for his son. Alone in the drawing room, Skye and Luke reminisced about the times they shared, and Luke realized that he lost his lady love for good.

On the docks, Sam fantasized about telling Alexis that she hated her for giving her up for adoption, but remained mum. Kristina asked Sam why she looked so sad. Sam covered by mentioning she missed her brother Danny. Ric took the girls to Kelly's for dessert, leaving Sam and Alexis a chance to chat. Sam told Alexis that she still blamed her for Danny's death. "You are a hypocrite, and you are not any kind of a mother," Sam spat. Hmmm. Wonder where that's coming from? Jason then dragged Sam off.

Bodyguards Max and Milo conspired to keep Carly away from Jax, on Sonny's orders. They snuck into Carly's room at Metro Court, but no one was there. Then, the lights went on, and there was Carly standing in the doorway. Carly told Max to relay the message to Sonny and Jason to stay out of her life. Max then begged Carly to stay out of trouble as she left. Max went to Jason's penthouse, but Jason couldn't deal with him and asked him for a full report later.

At the hospital, a nurse informed Jax that John's blood type doesn't match either his or Courtney's. He pretended to be surprised and thanked her for the news. Then, Robin showed up, saying, "Please tell me you didn't sleep with Carly." Jax took her concerns to heart and said he'd keep his guard up. Just then, Carly showed up and planted a big kiss on Jax's lips. Jax then called Metro Court to prepare the penthouse suite, so all the busybodies would think they were sleeping together. Carly was shocked by the idea. Jax convinced her he was serious about going through with it. When Carly called him on it, they argued about playing games. Carly said she was sorry, and they admitted they both missed Courtney. Carly then told Jax that if she ever kissed him again, it would be for real.

Patrick refused to let Nikolas see John. Elizabeth offered to help clear up the matter, but Lucky pointed out that Nik's attitude wasn't helping matters. Nik apologized to Liz for what he said about her at Courtney's memorial. She accepted, but told Nik that he'd have to speak with Jax about being put on the visitors list for John. However, Jax arrived and forbid Nikolas access to John, and threatened to get a restraining order if necessary.

At Kelly's, Alexis told Ric that Sam's hatred for her has gotten more intense. Ric tried to convince her that she can't change the way Sam feels. Meanwhile, at Jason's penthouse, Sam unloaded on Jason that the woman she hates more than anyone is her mother. "It's not fair," Sam sighed. "Kristina and Molly get to have a great mom, but I don't." They debated whether or not she should tell Alexis. Sam opted to keep quiet. Then, Carly barged in and demanded to know why Max and Milo were tailing her. He pointed out that it was Michael's idea, and then said he doesn't care what she does with her life.

Georgie and Dillon arrived at Kelly's with their bags, ready to move in. Mike thanked them for helping out at the diner the other day while he was still mourning Courtney's loss, and was surprised to learn that the kids had gotten married. Though the newlyweds had no money, they volunteered to work for their room and board. Mike agreed. Upstairs, the kids weren't really thrilled about their new living quarters, but agreed to make the best of it.

Diego returned to Alcazar's house, where he informed his pop that the reason he got paroled was that he squealed on a fellow inmate. Lorenzo feared his son signed his own death warrant. He freaked, prompting Diego to shout that he doesn't need anyone's help. Diego stormed off. Meanwhile, at the hospital, an informant apprised Manny of the situation, causing him to smile.

At Kelly's, Dillon was dismayed to learn that Diego had taken up residence across the hall from him and Georgie.... At the Q's, Lulu tried to offer her sad dad comfort over losing Skye, but to no avail.... At Alcazar's, Lorenzo vented to Skye about his frustrations with Diego. She agreed to never take their child out of his life.... Carly told Jason that she likes Jax. "It's never that simple with you," he replied.... Sam spied on Alexis and Kristina.

Emily told Sonny the reason that she was leaving Spain was because she realizes he feels guilty about sneaking off with her. Sonny said he's not uncomfortable, but he does regret that they have to keep their relationship a secret. He wants it to work out, he insists. No offense, but their conversation about his insomnia was a snooze. They then decided to enjoy their time together and be open and, yawn, honest about their feelings. Zzzzzzz. They kissed and made love again.

In the Q garden, Georgie was surprised to see Diego, who informed her that he got an early parole. Diego disappeared when Dillon came back. Seeing Georgie startled, Dillon asked if she had second thoughts about moving to Kelly's. She didn't, she assured. Tracy then walked out and requested a moment alone with her son. Georgie told Dillon she'd meet him at Kelly's and left. Tracy then said she might have been a little hasty in kicking them out of the mansion. But, when Tracy refused to be nice to Georgie, Dillon refused her offer. Frustrated, Tracy went back inside, where Luke reminded her that she's breaking the promise she made at Dillon's deathbed. Then, Dillon entered and said he decided they'd stay. At Kelly's, Georgie called the prison to check out Diego's story, but he showed up with his paperwork — his release was legit. Diego thanked her for her letters, and told her that he got out early cause he snitched on a fellow con. Just then, Maxie and Jesse showed up. Jesse pulled his gun on Diego, then verified the parole was legit, but warned Diego to stay away from his victims. Georgie stuck up for Diego, and they walked off. Just then, Dillon called, asking Georgie to return to the mansion. Before she left, she dropped the bomb to Diego that she and Dillon were married. Georgie returned to the mansion, where Dillon told her they were still moving after all.

Alexis was happy to reunite with her girls at Kelly's and promised them that she'd never leave them. Just then, Nikolas arrived. Nik told Alexis he got a call from a lawyer about a cousin he never knew he had. Ric took the girls so Alexis could fill in Nik. "Another deep dark Cassadine secret," he jokingly enquired. Then, Nik had to pick his jaw up off the ground when Alexis told him the truth. She stated that Helena never found out. Alexis bemoaned that her baby girl would be alive if she hadn't given her up, but Nikolas told her not to play the "What if?" game. Ric and the girls returned.

Sam and Jason reeled from the news that the woman they were looking for, Ms. Davidovitch, was actually Alexis. "Alexis Davis is my mother?" Sam uttered in shock. "What are the chances?" Jason called Stan and ordered him to find out everything he could on Alexis. On the ride home, Sam began looking back at all the clues she hadn't recognized in the past that pointed towards Alexis being her mother. Back at the Penthouse, Stan filled them in with his research — there was no question that, as Sam put it, "That bitch is my mother." Sam bemoaned her family connection to Jason, and said she can't wait to see the look on Alexis's face when she confronts her. Jason pointed out that there was no reason she needed to tell Alexis the truth. Later that night on the docks, Sam ran into Kristina — followed by Alexis.

In the Q Drawing Room, Skye searched frantically for her cell phone. Then, it rang. Luke had it down his pants. Skye grabbed the phone. It was Lorenzo on the other end, checking up on her. Skye said she was running late, then rushed out. Lulu warned Luke that he's going to lose Skye to Lorenzo if he doesn't act soon. Skye met Lorenzo at the the hospital, as she had an pre-natal appointment with Dr. Lee. They agreed to keep the news of her pregnancy hush-hush. After her appointment, they were both thrilled when Skye and the baby got a clean bill of health. "Yeah!" shouted Lorenzo with joy. The lovebirds then returned to the mansion. As Luke tried flirting with Skye, she assured the room that Lorenzo is the man for her. "She's remarkably unresponsive of late," Tracy curiously noted of Luke's flirting attempts. Diego then showed up, sending the room into chaos. Skye collapsed on the couch, causing Lorenzo to blurt out that Skye's pregnant. That shut everyone up!
