GH Recaps Week of July 9, 2007

Friday, July 13, 2007
Robin was shocked to see rope appear in her living room in the middle of the night — but it was just Anna (literally) dropping in for a visit. Anna said Robert is deep undercover, but she brought Robin tickets to see Eli Love in concert. Anna apologized for being stuck in the Amazon while Robin was a hostage at Metro Court. Patrick told Anna there won't be a concert because Eli is a patient at GH. Later, Anna arrived at GH, eager to meet Eli. Meanwhile, Eli told Noah he doesn't want to give up the groupies. Noah said he'll take the singer's place on stage, but Eli was skeptical. Anna burst in and was stunned to see "two of you." Anna introduced herself to Noah as Robin's mother, and asked him not to mention her adult daughter to Eli. She noted that she also has an identical twin (Yay, Alex!). Anna told Eli she's a big fan, so he autographed her shirt. Robin insisted there would be no concert because of the embolism. But Anna formulated a plan — and asked Noah to drop his pants!

A Peytonville guard led Jason to the visiting room to see a "reporter" — really Elizabeth. "I had to see you," she said, to thank him for bringing their son home. Jake is perfectly healthy. Jason said he has no regrets and they held hands. Liz wanted to ask him to never kill again, but knew better than to ask, so she left. Meanwhile, Alexis returned to the penthouse and saw Sam's bottle of vodka. Alexis assured her Jason would get off. Sam doesn't know if he'll come back to her, or if she even wants him back. She doesn't want to make the first move to reconcile. Alexis said if it's over, then get out as gracefully as possible as soon as possible.

Lulu insisted on examining Logan's wound, then summoned Coop, who brought Maxie. Maxie said Logan was lucky Coop didn't arrest him. Coop said he pretended he couldn't ID Logan. Maxie patched him up and Lulu vowed to make sure he heals. Sonny ordered Carly to stay away from Jerry — or he'll wind up dead. She countered that she needs Jerry to find Jax, and pointed out he taught her to keep her friend close and her enemies closer. Carly warned Alexis is falling for Jerry. Later, Amelia arrived to report that she's working on a story about Kate and uncovered her Connie identity. Amelia said she knows a celebrity scoop when she sees it. Sonny warned her not to go public or he'll go public and hint that he bribed people to make EVERYDAY HEROES a success. At that moment, Kate was at Metro Court, blustering over lost dry cleaning. Then she sniped with Carly over Sonny. Jerry arrived and Carly told him she saved his life again. Jerry invited Carly for a drink. She declined, saying she just wants Jax back. Jerry stalked out and later ended up at the penthouse, where Sam warned him to leave Alexis alone or she'll kill him. He said he needs incentive, and suggested she sleep with him instead. He leaned in for a forceful kiss just as Carly burst in. Sonny told Kate Amelia knows about her past as Connie. Kate yelled at him, and he stopped her from slapping him.

Jason told Diane that Liz had visited. Diane told him about the digital recording. Liz returned home, where Lucky said he got a call from Peytonville and covered for Liz stealing his badge and visiting Jason. Why did she do it? Jake. Diane said Liz obviously loves him, so she begged Jason to either tell Liz he loves her or cut her loose. Lucky called Jason a criminal, and demanded to know: "Are you in love with Jason?"

At the club, Lulu and Maxie traded barbs over Coop and Logan being absent. Meanwhile, Coop not only triggered a gunfight between the cops and Sonny's men, he shot Logan! Cruz complimented Coop for winging the ringleader, but Coop claimed he couldn't ID the perp. Outside Kelly's, Jerry offered to dry off Alexis as Carly sniped at her, but Alexis strutted off. Craig accused Carly of enjoying tormenting Alexis. Carly said she hates that "smug" Alexis. Jerry said he enjoys making her angry — but then Spinelli suddenly appeared and ordered Jerry away from Carly. Later, Alexis interrupted Sam's workout to tell her about getting squirted with the garden hose. She assured Sam she's not thinking of getting into a relationship with Jerry. Carly chased Jerry away, then Spinelli tearfully apologized for being a dope. He went into Kelly's and ordered an "orange soda with a side of testosterone" from Georgie. Then he asked her if he's wimpy. (Orange soda? Really?) Georgie sang his praises, but he figured he has to "man up," so he returned to the penthouse to retrieve Jason's gun from the lockbox. Georgie arrived with the wallet he'd forgotten. He insisted he's now "armed and dangerous," but Georgie took the weapon away from him and "loaded" it with a clearly empty magazine. (Dad and Mom taught her.) Meanwhile, Alexis assured Sam she's not interested in "sociopath" Jerry: "No more nut jobs." Lulu begged Carly for advice about Logan. Carly warned her she cannot change Logan, but realized her words were falling on deaf ears.

Ric played the digital recording for Sonny and told him to retire when Jason goes to jail. Diane arrived to chase Ric away. Sonny said he knows what the cops have on Jason. Diane doubted she could discredit the "evidence" — unless they suggested that Alcazar deliberately said Jason's name as a frame-up. Bernie interrupted with word of the lost shipment, then complimented legal-eagle Diane's "lovely and capable hands." Alone, Sonny scolded Bernie for macking on Diane, but Bernie said, "You're in no position to criticize" for mixing business and pleasure. Sonny asked Diane if she wants him to hit on her, but she claimed to be smarter than that. Later, as Bernie exchanged compliments with Diane, Carly blew in to tell Sonny that Alexis has a crush on Jerry. Sonny was angry that Carly isn't keeping herself and his kids away from Jerry. He threatened to bury Jerry unless she steers clear. Meanwhile, Alexis' car wouldn't start. Luckily Jerry was lurking and "hot-wired" the car.

At GH, Dr. Ford blasted Patrick and Robin for treating that indigent patient, while Epiphany told the new nurses that no one is above the rules. Meanwhile, Lainey traded barbs with Stan on the roof. She said she went on the date to appease Epiphany, but enjoyed herself anyway. Still, Stan is too judgmental for her. Dr. Ford said treating indigents will bankrupt the hospital, and banished them to working the ER on Saturday nights — or, more specifically, to GENERAL HOSPITAL: NIGHT SHIFT on SOAPnet. Stan arrived and was surprised they knew about his date. He told Patrick Lainey isn't quite as uptight as he thought. Patrick said not asking Lainey out again just to spite his mother sounds like something Patrick would do. Robin ran into Lainey and told she her never has to go out with Stan again.

Maxie ran into Coop outside Kelly's, so he told her about shooting Logan. Maxie said it's Logan's fault he got shot. Meanwhile, Lulu went to Logan's house to demand an explanation for him standing her up. Logan said the cops busted him, so he's probably out of a job — and may get whacked for messing up. Logan ordered her out, but Lulu noticed he was bleeding. "Are you shot?" she asked.

Lainey and Stan planned their date while Epiphany looked on. E warned Stan that Lainey was a classy woman and he should treat her that way. Stan admitted to Patrick that he was planning a date that would scare Lainey off. Later, Lainey met Stan on the roof and shocked him when she cracked open a beer and took a big gulp. They dug into their burgers, and Stan told her she should just admit that she didn't like the beer or the burger and she'd rather be eating at Metro Court. She asked why was he working so hard to turn her off.

In front of several hospital staffers, Robin and Patrick argued loudly over whether he should operate on a man without insurance because his odds of survival were so low. Patrick refused to do it. Privately, Robin and Patrick conspired to go ahead with the surgery in secret. Patrick warned that anyone caught participating could be fired, and she needed to think about her career. In the end, they both scrubbed in, and when it was over, Robin complimented him on a job well done. They were about to go home and order takeout when Dr. Ford confronted them, and let them know there would be consequences for ignoring his orders.

At Metro Court, Alexis and Carly were arguing over Jerry, who interrupted them. Carly told Jerry that Alexis wanted to go out with him. Alexis immediately denied it, got flustered and ran out.

Ric quizzed Coop on his readiness for his assignment, and his willingness and ability to help root out the dirty cops on Sonny's payroll. He also spoke to Logan about who he was really working for — Ric.

Sonny asked Logan if plans were set for tonight. He warned Logan not to make him look vulnerable or stupid. After, he spoke to Coop as well, explaining that since Ric has no idea Coop was working for Sonny, he was very valuable, and in order not to blow his cover he should take down Sonny's men if need be. Max showed up at the office, and Sonny asked his opinion on Logan. Carly walked in and wondered why Max was at Sonny's office, which led to an argument with Sonny over who Max preferred working for. Carly finally caved and told Max that he should go back to working for Sonny, and Max was clearly relieved. After Carly left, Sonny told Max that he was willing to let the shipment go, if it meant not tipping off Ric about Coop. Max left and arrived to give Sonny a heads up about the evidence he had against Jason — a digital recording.

At Kelly's, Lulu complained to Georgie about Logan. Lulu wondered if Georgie was hoping Lulu would end up with a guy that's nothing but trouble for "payback." Georgie explained that she didn't blame Lulu for what happened between her and Dylan. Maxie came in with her usual attitude, followed by Logan who asked if Lulu was ready to go. Lulu thought about backing out of the date, but Logan convinced her to go. After they all left, Skye came in to see how Georgie was doing. Georgie told her she planned to study abroad in Europe. She thought it was time for her to move on. Outside, Coop voiced his concerns to Maxie over what could go wrong with Sonny's shipment.

Ric had Alexis come to his office to work with Jerry, and was shocked to realize Alexis was considering dating Jerry. After sending Jerry out, Alexis and Ric began to argue, and he pointed out that dating Jerry could jeopardize Molly and Christina's safety.

Alice informed Edward that Cook was not making dinner since no one would be home except him. She offered to make him a sandwich as Monica came in. Monica warned Edward that Dylan wasn't coming back, and quickly realized that Edward was going to use Tracy as leverage to get Dylan to come home. She warned him not to do to Dylan what he'd done to Ned. Edward insisted Dylan was his last chance to pass on his legacy, and he would get him to come home.

Outside of Kelly's, Carly rinsed her feet with a hose, and Jerry told her to stop wasting water. Carly couldn't believe after all the horrible things he had done he was concerned about the environment. Carly turned the hose on him when he tried to turn the water off. When he attempted to take the hose from her they struggled and ended up turning it on Alexis, who happened to be walking by.

Logan left Lulu with a kiss before heading off to oversee the shipment arrival. Maxie quickly found her way over to Lulu to torment her. Coop and the other cops were already in the alley waiting. When Logan and Sonny's men came into the alley, the cops pulled their guns. A gunfight ensued, and Coop shot Logan.

Patrick came into Eli's hospital room to find him serenading a groupie. A glum Dr. Drake reminded Eli he was going to die without surgery. Robin walked in on Patrick's tirade and wryly defused the situation. Later, Patrick begged Noah to impersonate Eli at the AIDS fundraiser. "Don't tell me you've never fantasized about being a rock star!" (Rick Springfield, perhaps?) Noah went to visit his rockin' Aussie look-alike...who tried to leap out of bed upon hearing that Noah would replace him at the benefit. Robin and Patrick rushed in to get Eli settled, but the patient was poised to flee. Until he collapsed, that is.

Forgetting that her family owns the place, Lulu asked Mike for a waitressing job at Kelly's. His timing impeccable, Logan asked her out for the next night. She noted she had to work: The Qs have money, she doesn't. Logan presumptuously wondered if Georgie would pick up Lulu's shift for the money. Elsewhere, Ric wanted Coop to be his stooge during a sting on Sonny's shipments tomorrow. Lulu had no intention of going on a date, but Georgie still offered to cover. Maxie was offended by her sis helping "this lying slut." Of course, this led to Round No. 2,234 of Maxie vs. Lulu. Alone, Georgie told Lulu she could use Logan's money to fund studying abroad. At the DA's office, Ric told Mayor Floyd all about his plan. Maxie stormed over to the coffeehouse to ask for a getting-Lulu-into-bed update from Logan. When Lulu overheard a tidbit, Logan brushed it off as Maxie being hot for him. He re-offered a hot time at the exclusive Catacomb Club (Maybe they'll find Frisco Jones there?). He admitted he did have to sneak out mid-date to handle a shipment for Sonny, though. Maxie rushed into Kelly's and told Coop she'd gotten them into the Catacomb Club. Of course, Coop told her he was working a sting.

Epiphany tried to send Elizabeth home but she wanted to get back to her normal routine. Said routine included blasting Lainey for thinking she kidnapped her own child. Lainey caught Liz alone, tried to explain her position on postpartum depression and wondered if Liz was mad at Lucky and transferring her anger. Later, Lucky arrived and discussed Jake's kidnapping with Robin and Elizabeth. Lucky then got yet another lecture about sending noble, heroic Jason to jail for crimes he actually committed, this time from Robin. "Thanks," Lucky sniped at Liz afterward. "I didn't do anything," she sniped back. Exactly. Epiphany asked Lainey to give Liz a wide berth. In the locker room, Patrick questioned Robin about her passionate defense of Jason. She explained the infamous Tony-kidnapping-her-and-Michael incident and assured Patrick she cares for Jason in a "platonic, nonsexual" way. Liz, who doesn't love Jason that way, finished up a visit to the kids in daycare and admitted she thought Lucky acted "unfairly," too.

Sam pummeled her punching bag and informed boutique delivery girl Maxie that she wouldn't be needing EVERYDAY HEROES designer duds: She was quitting. Meanwhile, Jason's "wife" showed up to visit him in Pentonville. No, not Brenda Barrett — It was Carly. (Carly and Jason even discussed this very thing.) "Someone has to help you!" Carly declared. Back at the penthouse, Sam opened up to her pal about Jason's lies. "And you were mad enough to do something dumb?" cracked a knowing Maxie. Amelia then dropped by and Sam tendered her "official" resignation. Amelia wouldn't accept it. In fact, she threatened to tell the world about Sam watching Maureen kidnap Jake. At Carly and Jason's visit, Jason appreciated Carly's intentions but asked her to stay away from Sam. Jason then finagled a phone call and asked Sonny to monitor Carly's connection with Jerry. As Amelia and Sam argued, Carly let herself in to return Brenda's marriage license. (Sam should change that lock.) Sam hurriedly prevented Amelia from spilling the kidnapping beans and agreed to report to work. Carly and Sam then traded barbs. "You can cry and you can beg, but it's over," Carly told Sam. "You're someone Jason used to love." In his cell, Jason fingered his purloined photo of Jake and remembered holding his son at the hospital.

Eli insisted he'd rather drop dead onstage than let Patrick operate on his brain. Patrick was furious, so Robin reminded him that Eli only looks (and acts) like his father, so he should back off. Robin summoned Noah (who arrived sporting the exact same beard stubble as Eli) and explained that Patrick's attitude problem stems from Noah's liver surgery issues. Patrick choked out the words "I'm sorry," and a smug Noah accepted his "apology" with air quotes. Later, Epiphany dragged Eli back in back into bed, where he vowed to take the stage for a benefit concert. Patrick suggested Eli have the operation and let Noah take his place onstage.

Elizabeth told Carly to back off on pursuing the panic room issue with Ric. Carly wanted to know why Jason was giving up his kid, and vowed to be around when Liz's web of lies collapses around her. Lucky arrived and warned Carly to back off his wife. Carly asked why he got to skate on last year's drug problem but Jason is in jail. She suggested Jason was arrested out of spite, but Liz defended her husband. Lucky said Jason should have tipped him that he had a lead on Jake. Carly pointed out that Maureen is not in jail, but Jason is. After Carly left Lucky asked Liz if she took his side just to tweak Carly. She said she's not taking sides; Jason rescued "our" son. Lucky claimed he deserves some leeway, since he's Jake's father.

Sam played dumb at Sonny's accusation that she watched Jason's son get kidnapped. Sonny blamed himself for letting Jason get "tangled up" with her. He said Amelia is right to hate Sam for killing her father. "In self-defense!" Sam screamed, then reminded him they made a baby together. Sonny warned her not to bring up their daughter. How could she let Jason feel that loss? Jason was her champion, but she stood by. Was their relationship a scam all along? Sam said it was a moment of weakness. Sonny pointed out it would have been better for her if the kid disappeared. Sam said Sonny judges others for slipping up and she's not falling in line anymore. He told her to let Jason go to save him the pain of saying it's over. Later, back at the penthouse, Sam pulled out a bottle when Carly arrived and they fought over Jason. Carly said Sam is just something to keep Jason's bed warm.

As Tracy and Ned traded barbs over parenting skills, Skye was intrigued by Tracy's conversations with Alan. If her father really was in that chair, she wanted him to know she loves him. Tracy begged Dillon to stay. Scotty burst in and thought Tracy was Laura. Ned asked if this wacky family is worth missing the chance to pursue his dream? Scott volunteered that he married Laura on this exact day, and he has no regrets. If Dillon can say the same; he's doing the right thing. Lulu asked to hear more about his relationship with her mother. Dillon wondered why Tracy is being nice now, when he finally doesn't need his mother anymore. She admitted she's afraid he'll never come back. Georgie arrived to wish Dillon well. Dillon recalled growing up in Europe with only movies to keep him company, and now he has a chance to pass along the magic. At Kelly's, Scott said he wasn't always a cockroach/snake. He was once idealistic, and that's the guy Laura loved. Then Luke came along, and that act of violence murdered Laura's innocence — "and mine, too." Lulu said Laura loved Luke no matter what, and Scott will be happier if he accepts that. Edward told Tracy to let Dillon go, and revealed he regretted not supporting Alan's decision to go into medicine. "Don't make same mistake with your son." When Dillon accepted Ned's offer Tracy refused to say goodbye. Then Dillon refused to say goodbye to anyone. Edward asked Alice to called Shadybrook to take Tracy back.

Coop escorted Logan to Ric, who pulled out a file with incriminating evidence about Logan's misdeeds in Iraq. He offered to make the file disappear if Logan helps Ric put Sonny away. Meanwhile, Sonny demanded that Coop get him all the evidence Ric has against Jason in Alcazar's murder. As luck would have it, Ric later asked Coop about his liaison with Mac, starting with the case against Jason. Then, as luck would have it, Sonny asked Logan to supervise a "shipment."
