So today's the day.... who dies? Let's find out.
Sonny, Michael and Sam are sitting at Alexis' house. Molly comes in and metaphors the plot for today's episode. All about a rat going through a maze. Sam thinks it sounds fun, Michael looks contemplative, Sonny looks amused but probably has no idea what's going on. Science? What? Michael says it reminds him of Pentonville. Sonny assures him that he doesn't have to worry about that anymore. Alexis comes in from the kitchen and Sonny wonders why Kristina isn't joining them.
Olivia and Johnny reunite their love with wine. Olivia thinks that she's convinced Sonny that Johnny and Kristina are sleeping together. But no one can convince Sonny of anything. Johnny wants Olivia to stay out of it. He thinks and hopes that Ethan convinced Kristina to drop the whole thing. If he wants this whole thing dropped, then what was he doing yesterday (earlier) goading Sonny at his restaurant? Ding Dong. It's Kristina.
Max supervises car-bomb guy who tells Max that the bomb will work just fine.
Spinelli hasn't found Franco but he tells Jason he's found someone who may know where he is: his mom.
Outside Harbourview Towers, Dante holds a gun on someone whom we're meant to believe is Franco. The guy runs and Dante runs after him.
Credits: Lisa/Steve day.
Patrick and Lisa are drinking at the Metro-Court. His eyes are closed for some reason. It's a game! He has to figure out what it is. SideCar. Kinda dangerous to drink with someone you almost slept with and cheated on your wife with while....drinking...the other day. They toast to Shirley's surgery.
Mode Lite! Maxie and Lulu talk shop when a hotel employee comes in with roses for Maxie. Lulu wants to set "James" up with Brook Lynn. Maxie wonders if the flowers are from Matt but dismisses the idea because Matt's ego would make sure Maxie knew the roses are from him. Lulu wonders if the roses could be from Maxie's actual boyfriend.
Spinelli says Franco and his mom are from Brooklyn. He says the street names and Jason immediately knows that the neighborhood is Bensonhurst. How the hell does he know that? Has he even been to Brooklyn? Just in case you were wondering. More info: Spinelli doesn't think they have any contact. So...why are we wasting time? She now lives in Woodstock, NY (upstate)....but how close is that to Port Charles? I still don't know exactly where Port Charles is supposed to be. It doesn't really make sense. It's supposed to be a major dock town...but upstate New York is landlocked... The only major port would be on Lake Ontario (or Erie)? which would make it way too far from NYC, which they seem to be close to. At one point, Jason rode a motorcycle to Montauk which is at the tip of Long island. Just driving from NYC to Montaulk would take 2-3 hours....factor in how long it would take to get to Buffalo/Rochester etc.......that's like a 10-12 hour motorcycle ride. *Shrug* I've spent too much time thinking about it. Side note: Did you know Port Charles used to be on Long Island? I have no idea when or why they moved it to upstate NY.
Anyway....Dante catches his bandit but it's just some scared homeless guy.
Alexis tells Sonny about Kristina's fake SAT prep course. He gets a bit nervous that everything's not going to plan. Shocker! Molly takes Michael to the kitchen and Sam leaves to go work on a case since dinner will be delayed. Sonny continues to get nervous. He wants to go pick her up but Alexis tells her to sit and relax. Can't relax! Car bomb!
Olivia tries to be a sorta mom to Kristina trying to get her to back down from these lies. She tells Kristina that Sonny knows it's a big lie (he doesn't). Kristina gets on her high horse again about Olivia lying to protect Sonny. Johnny asks Olivia to leave him and Kristina alone for a minute so they can sort things out.
Lisa tells a terrible joke and they talk about the necessity of ego as a surgeon. And it's just them getting drunk to screw and just get on with it.
Back at the hospital, Elizabeth watches over Shirley when Nikolas enters. She thanks him for paying for the surgery and apologizes for taking him for granted.
Alexis calms Sonny down about what she thinks he's anxious about instead of what he's actually anxious about.
Outside the towers, Ronnie and Dante argue about Jason's intentions. Dante tells Ronnie about the homeless guy he thought was Franco. Ronnie doesn't get the whole "use a killer to catch a killer" way of police work. Um...didn't you see Silence of the Lambs? Ronnie also thinks that Jason and Spinelli are upstairs right now planning his escape.
Spinelli asks Jason if his feelings for Dante have changed since he got Michael out of prison. Nope. They haven't. He hates Dante! But he has to work with him! Jason and Dante: The next buddy cop movie!
Maxie doesn't think the flowers were from Spinelli. James comes back with more roses! She still thinks it's from Matt and Lulu suspects that Maxie is just into Matt. Enter Matt. And the roses aren't from him.
Dante comes back to Jason's apartment and tells him about the homeless man in front of the building. Jason tells Dante about Franco's mom. Dante is surprised that Interpol can't find this woman but Spinelli can. I'm surprised too...and so don't believe it. Spinelli says not to ask how...just to accept. Thanks Spinelli-san.
Sonny and Alexis sort of meet on common ground about letting Kristina figure this Johnny thing out for herself...except for the fact that he's a big fat liar. He gets a call. Alexis goes inside so he can take it. It's Max telling him that the car is rigged.
Upstairs, Johnny takes his keys out. He's going to drive Kristina home. DUN! Back in the garage, the car bomb's red light blinks it's threatening blink. DUN!
Elizabeth and Nikolas talk about how awesomely amazing Shirley is. He encourages her to go home and sleep. She waddles away.
Patrick and Lisa are drunk. And it's time for him to walk her home. But that's all that will happen.
Maxie and Matt flirt while Lulu scoffs. Matt insists the flowers aren't from him. Lulu excuses herself and leaves but not before reminding Maxie she has a boyfriend. Maxie thinks that the flowers must be from Spinelli then. But the only person Spinelli wants to give flowers to is Jason. Matt thinks Maxie should rethink her relationship with Spinelli.
Dante and Spinelli argue against procedure....and normally I'd agree with Dante but can we just get on with it? Jason thinks he should go see Franco's mom.
Sam comes back and Kristina isn't there. Sonny is worried and Sam figures out that Molly knows something. And apparently Sam went off to the class and Kristina wasn't there. Molly tells them all that Kristina is with Johnny. Sonny looks alarmed. What? Huh? Something went wrong in Sonny's perfect plan? A car bomb meant for his daughter's lover is going to kill his daughter? Who would have ever seen that one coming?! God, I want to smack him in the face.
Lulu visits Spinelli who apparently was expecting Maxie. Really? How many times in the past few weeks have you seen Maxie? Spinelli tells Lulu about Dante and Jason and Franco's mother. Lulu is worried that Jason will escape but Spinelli thinks jason wouldn't do that. The two friends finally address the tension of being on opposite sides. Spinelli admits why he doesn't like what Dante did. Lulu tells Spinelli about the flowers but he says they're not from him. Duh.
Matt and Maxie. (Too many people with the same sounding names on this show....Max/Maxie/Matt/Mac...it gets confusing.) Anyway, they're arranging the flowers and bantering about ending whatever they have or don't have. James brings two dozen more flowers. Matt dejectedly leaves.
Sonny runs out the door despite Alexis' objections. Alexis yells at Molly and wonders what Kristina is thinking. Molly doesn't understand why no one thinks that Kristina has a right to be mad at Sonny.
In his limo, Sonny calls Max to disable the bomb but no can do.
Kristina and Johnny are still in his apartment arguing about things. She's taken his keys. She wants to stay there and let Sonny stew thinking she's spending the night at Johnny's. He tries to convince her that she doesn't hate Sonny as much as she thinks she does. He empathizes. He yells at her to let it be over. She finally relents, gives him back his keys and tells him to take her home.
Patrick and Lisa: Yeah, you know what happens.
Johnny and Kristina walk towards the car. She says she's relieved they're ending the fake relationship. He's relieved too. He unlocks the doors with his electronic key just as Sonny enters the garage and calls for Kristina. He shields himself from the inevitable explosion.
At the house in Woodstock, Jason and Dante meet Mrs. Franco. She seems just as crazy as Franco...and she says she doesn't have a son.
Maxie sits in the dark as Franco enters with more roses. DUN!
Well that was all anti-climactic.

June 29 2010
Patrick and his overly bandaged hand make out with Lisa. He stops it because he's married...although I can't count how many times he's used that as an excuse...and there he is. Lisa rightly calls him son of a bitch for being a total hypocrite.
Olivia and Lulu continue to talk about the Dante/Franco/Jason thing. Olivia thinks it makes sense but Lulu doesn't want Dante to risk himself. Olivia knows that Dante is stubborn and taking risks for what he believes in is a part of who Dante is. She encourages Lulu to stand by her man.
Michael thinks it's hypocritical that Dante and the police think Jason is bad, yet are using his skills to help them with Franco. Dante says they're just using Jason to lure Franco out, not to kill him. But we all know Jason will somehow end up the hero. Michael's also worried that Jason will run, Dante will be thrown in jail and he'll be sent to jail as well.

Lucky is waiting for Sonny at his restaurant but insists he's not there as a cop. He says he's worried about Michael. They pointlessly dissect each other's side of the law. Lucky warns Sonny that attempting to see Michael is dangerous. Sonny retorts that Lucky would do the same thing in his position.
Dante thinks Michael will be fine as long as he sticks to the terms of his release. They argue about Jason.
Lulu gets all worked up about how people viewed Dante putting Michael in jail. She and Olivia discuss Dante and his decisions. Lulu doesn't want to back Dante up on what he's doing with Jason, but Olivia says she has no choice.
Patrick blames Lisa for the kiss because for months she flirted with him etc... She thinks he's just not happy with his marriage. He thinks she's dating Steve to make him jealous. Well if it's working, Patrick, that's your fault. She finally gets a back-bone and tells him off, accusing him of not even wanting her and that he just wants to prove he's the best at everything. Interesting theory.
Back at the hospital, Steven has no idea what's going on. He and Liz discuss some work and then of course Shirley. Steven tells her that Shirley's cancer has spread to her brain. Epiphany joins in for a moment so she can earn her weekly paycheck. Steven tries to comfort a devastated Elizabeth.
Lucky thinks it would be best if Sonny gave Michael up but Sonny doesn't see how that's for the best. Lucky compares himself to Michael and says some more words that Sonny seems to actually be listening to. After Lucky leaves, Sonny calls Luke to tell him that Johnny is "about to be taken out." Yeah...he was listening to Lucky.
Dante rues his decisions regarding Michael but Michael doesn't want to talk about it. They argue again about Sonny's involvement with his kids.
Ethan stops by Luke's to give him some Cubans. Luke informs Ethan that he's taking his annual Tony Geary summer vacation. He thinks he needs to distance himself from Port Charles and tries to get Ethan to come with him. Ethan has too much to do here. Ethan gets a phone call from someone who needs to see him.
Pregnant Elizabeth brings Shirley a present. They discuss Shirley's recent diagnosis.
Maxie yells at someone on the phone, sitting on the docks, and it's not about her awful new haircut. Lucky comes by and apparently is her "police escort" for something. She rambles about something I don't caret about. She's worried about Franco's return. With the way James Franco acted last time....we all are.
Ethan arrives out of breath at Johnny's apartment and makes sure he's not there. It was Maya who called him. He answers the door like he lives there. They flirt.
Kate(!) flirts with Coleman...and I really don't get that relationship. She wants him to close the bar early. He moves on to a drinking Patrick and tries to be all bartender therapist. Steven comes in and joins Patrick who half-heartedly apologizes to him. Olivia joins the fray of miserable drinkers. Kate doesn't like that Coleman and Olivia are flirting and starts to throw down.
Kate and Olivia continue to squabble and I'm ready for a girl fight. Brook Lynn amusedly watches. It almost comes to blows, but Steven and Patrick separate them.
Maya starts to tell Ethan a college story when Johnny enters. Ethan continues the apartment facade. All of a sudden, Maya gets all self-rightous about being with someone in a blood-moneyed apartment. Johnny decides to have some fun furthering the lie telling Maya that Ethan is really the one that's in charge. Ethan finally admits that the apartment isn't his. But Maya knew that already. Go girl!
Maxie continues her freak out about Franco. Lucky assures her that it'll be OK.
Lulu comes back to Dante's apartment. Michael makes himself scarce. Dante and Lulu apologize to each other.
After the commercial break, Lulu and Dante continue to over-aplogize to each other. And then they start to have sex.
Michael and Kristina meet on the docks. He tells her about Lulu and Dante and why he had to get away. They discuss Pentonville, staying at Dante's apartment and of course Kristina's hatred for her dad.
Alexis and Sonny discuss their strategy for getting Kristina away from Johnny. He suggests a family meal with everyone including Michael. Alexis thinks he has ulterior motives. Because she's met him.
Post-Coital bliss, Dante and Lulu wonder when Michael will be back. She wants him to be careful. He promises to be.
Lucky comes home to an anxious Luke. Luke is worried about Ethan and tells Lucky why. Smart telling a cop all this.
About Friday, Johnny and Ethan are having some kind of card game and something that will "up the ante".
Kristina and Michael argue some more about Sonny and Claudia. When she brings up Pentonville, Michael freaks out a little bit. She talks about her plan. Michael thinks she needs to learn from Carly about plans. Hee.
Max and Milo discuss the car bomb that's supposed to take out Johnny. Milo is worried and discusses the possibility of the wrong person being blown up....just like what happened to Lily.
Alexis thinks Sonny wants to have dinner with everyone so he can see Michael. She finally agrees to his alibi...I mean the dinner.

June 28 2010
First of all, congratulations to Julie Berman for her win last night. Go Lulu!
Sonny explains to Luke that Johnny "has to die". Because...he held hands with Kristina. And this guy is somehow still popular with fans? He says it'll be a car bomb and no one innocent will be harmed. Yeah...remember that car bomb that was meant for you and killed your wife and unborn child? How quickly we forget. It would serve him right if Kristina ended up getting into that car instead of Johnny. Luke thinks the problem is that everyone will know he did it. Sonny doesn't listen to reason because he's Sonny. He just knows that Johnny has to die. Finally, Luke brings up Lily. And he says he hopes Kristina doesn't get caught in the same situation. Do I know this show or what?
Kristina has walked in on Johnny and Olivia doin' the nasty. Olivia tells Kristina to get out. Kristina says it's up to Johnny.
Lulu listens to Brook Lynn talking to Michael about Sonny and Dante. Lulu wants to know why Brook is encouraging Michael to see Sonny when she knows it's against his probation. Brook insists that she's talking long-term. Lulu doesn't want Dante to be a part of Sonny's life ever.
Dante explains the terms of Jason's release to him. Jason's only request is a gun. And the deals off it doesn't happen.
Credits: Lisa/Steve day. I guess Matt and Maxie's storyline is done?
Steve and Lisa "welcome" Patrick to the hospital even though he's still on suspension. Patrick is there as a patient; he slammed his hand in Emma's toy chest. Not very smart for a surgeon. He snarks about some diagnosis on Lisa's computer and then takes it back because he's still on suspension. Passive-aggressive Port Charles!
Michael doesn't want Brook and Lulu to fight but they do anyway. Michael comes to Sonny's defense regarding shooting Dante in the chest. He says that Sonny had just found out that Dante was an undercover cop and that's the way it works. Well that's lame, Michael. Because shooting people is not the way life works. That's why we have laws. Lulu continues to hate Sonny anyway. Brook thinks that not everyone has to hate Sonny. Sure...but they aren't reading my recaps. They argue some more until Brook excuses himself.
Dante and Jason argue about the terms of the deal especially the sticking point of having a gun.
Johnny and Olivia are clothed now. Kristina gets nasty. Olivia realizes at this point that Kristina and Johnny aren't having sex. Kristina thinks that Olivia is just using Johnny to save Sonny.
Sonny says bringing up Lily hurt Truth hurts. Luke tactfully says there are similarities. Sonny doesn't think there are. Really Sonny? Jealous father....acts irrationally....car bomb... No. No similarities there. He wants to know how Luke would feel if it were a teenage Lulu. First of all, Lulu was having sex as a teenager...and she dated Johnny for a long time too. Someone send Sonny some recaps? But Sonny's got it all figured out. So...tired... When's this going to go down? Friday cliffhanger! And he has Kristina's where-abouts all taken care of too. How could anything possibly go wrong??
Steve and Patrick blah blah blah about a patient.
Lulu and Michael discuss Sonny. She says it's ok to love his dad, but not to be like him. Lulu explains why she doesn't want Dante to get close to Sonny. She doesn't want Sonny to take advantage of Dante.
Dante and Jason argue some more about the gun issue. The problem is there's no trust between them. Dante thinks he'll catch Franco. He wants Jason to be the bait. Jason doesn't think that'll work. Dante says he'll be back tomorrow.
Kristina continues to goad Olivia who wants to call Alexis. Olivia yells at Kristina and says her lies almost got Ethan killed and this time her lies are going to get more people killed. She also thinks it has to do with Kiefer. I really have no idea why Johnny isn't on Olivia's side. He knows this will all end in tears....blood. But then Kristina gets all out of control about her dad and how he degrades women....because that's what this idiocy is all about. And Johnny should know this and stop it. He finally gets Kristina to leave. Olivia can't believe how far this has gotten. Johnny wonders if Kristina was right about sleeping with him to protect Sonny.
Luke thinks Anthony will retaliate. Duh. Sonny again doesn't listen to reason. He says that Morgan is safe with Carly and Jax. Yeah...sure. Luke tries a different tactic by brining up Kristina saying she's going to know. But it's like talking to a three year old brick wall.
Patrick leaves with his overly bandaged hand. Steve and Lisa joke about it after he leaves.
Olivia and Johnny cry over spilled relationship.
Claire is pissed at being summoned by Jason....she argues against the gun thing. Jason argues for it.
Lulu comes to see Sonny. She tells him about Jason and Franco and the great 80s sitcom idea. She wants Sonny to make sure Jason doesn't escape. Sonny doesn't think Dante losing his badge would be a bad thing...because he's a dick. Finally he tells Lulu he'll make sure Jason doesn't run but he wants something in return. He wants her to stop talking badly about him to his kids.
Bar of one night stands: Patrick gets a beer at Jake's. Lisa comes in and spars/banters....and yeah, we all know where they'll end up.
Johnny and Olivia continue to break up for good. Olivia leaves in tears.
Claire is worried about Jason escaping and her losing her job. Jason tries to convince her that he has no reason to escape because he'd never be able to come home. She says if they're going to release Jason, it has to be on their terms.
Lulu is back at home wanting to cook for Michael. She tries not to be insulted when he suggests take-out. He guesses that Lulu went to see Sonny. Dante comes home and tells Lulu and Michael that Jason will be released tomorrow. She tells him about her talk with Sonny.
Sonny is a little irked that Lulu went to Sonny. They fight a little which is new. It's actually nice to see them argue like a normal couple. She doesn't want him to risk his life. He says it's his life to risk. She insists that his life is her life....or something more romantic and less wordy than that.
Brook arrives at Jake's and Coleman is happy to see her. She tells him about her metro-court gig that we've yet to see. She asks about Johnny.
Patrick and Lisa play pool and drink beer. Just get to it, already. He says something pretty flirty and egotistical to her which finally makes her get a back bone. She leaves. But for how long?
Brook continues to talk about Coleman's clientele. And....enter Johnny on cue. Brook goes to join him and manipulates her way into his night.
Olivia finds Lulu crying on the docks. Lulu tells her that Dante is stubborn and going to get himself thrown in prison.
Sonny goes to visit Jason. He tells Jason about the plan with Johnny. He also asks Jason not to run.
Patrick follows Lisa to her house. They yell about stupid stuff while I'm just waiting for them to kiss. He finally calls her bluff.
Olivia commiserates with Lulu about Dante. She knows how stubborn he can be. Lulu tells Olivia about the whole Jason/Franco plan.
Dante rues arguing with Lulu. He tells Michael about Jason being unarmed. Michael gets pissed that Jason won't have protection.
Jason still holds a grudge against Dante for putting Michael in prison. Sonny insists that Dante helped Michael get out but according to Jason, that's not enough. Oh and then something weird happens: Sonny talks some sense. Jason wants Dante behind bars to know the hell Michael went through....for a month. Sonny says that if Dante ends up in jail, Michael will be back there too. Words of wisdom...from Sonny's lips...against violence. Did I just see a pig fly outside my window?
And we end up on Patrick goading Lisa calling her on her shit. Again, Lisa makes fun of Patrick the daddy. And finally they kiss.

Claire is worried about Jason escaping and her losing her job. Jason tries to convince her that he has no reason to escape because he'd never be able to come home. She says if they're going to release Jason, it has to be on their terms.
Lulu is back at home wanting to cook for Michael. She tries not to be insulted when he suggests take-out. He guesses that Lulu went to see Sonny. Dante comes home and tells Lulu and Michael that Jason will be released tomorrow. She tells him about her talk with Sonny.
Sonny is a little irked that Lulu went to Sonny. They fight a little which is new. It's actually nice to see them argue like a normal couple. She doesn't want him to risk his life. He says it's his life to risk. She insists that his life is her life....or something more romantic and less wordy than that.
Brook arrives at Jake's and Coleman is happy to see her. She tells him about her metro-court gig that we've yet to see. She asks about Johnny.
Patrick and Lisa play pool and drink beer. Just get to it, already. He says something pretty flirty and egotistical to her which finally makes her get a back bone. She leaves. But for how long?
Brook continues to talk about Coleman's clientele. And....enter Johnny on cue. Brook goes to join him and manipulates her way into his night.
Olivia finds Lulu crying on the docks. Lulu tells her that Dante is stubborn and going to get himself thrown in prison.
Sonny goes to visit Jason. He tells Jason about the plan with Johnny. He also asks Jason not to run.
Patrick follows Lisa to her house. They yell about stupid stuff while I'm just waiting for them to kiss. He finally calls her bluff.
Olivia commiserates with Lulu about Dante. She knows how stubborn he can be. Lulu tells Olivia about the whole Jason/Franco plan.
Dante rues arguing with Lulu. He tells Michael about Jason being unarmed. Michael gets pissed that Jason won't have protection.
Jason still holds a grudge against Dante for putting Michael in prison. Sonny insists that Dante helped Michael get out but according to Jason, that's not enough. Oh and then something weird happens: Sonny talks some sense. Jason wants Dante behind bars to know the hell Michael went through....for a month. Sonny says that if Dante ends up in jail, Michael will be back there too. Words of wisdom...from Sonny's lips...against violence. Did I just see a pig fly outside my window?
And we end up on Patrick goading Lisa calling her on her shit. Again, Lisa makes fun of Patrick the daddy. And finally they kiss.

June 24 2010
OMG! It's raining! Let's interrupt your favorite soap... Those weathermen...love their weather. Well I'm looking outside right now and the skies are blue. Most useless. Job. Ever. Except this one...
And I missed the entire teaser....Credits!
We begin with Luke continuing his pity party. He drunkenly tells his sons that he "belongs" with Tracy. He wants to take her back to Vegas and do it all sober. The last part makes his boys laugh. Lucky thinks he needs to be more sincere with Tracy. Ethan agrees. Luke dismisses their advice. Maya comes by. He wants Maya to help him talk to Tracy face to face.
Carly is scared about Franco. Michael tries to calm her down. Carly makes a phone call to someone she "needs".
Dante and Claire argue about Jason. He wants to let Jason out to deal with Franco; She's just glad a criminal is finally in jail. And who wouldn't be in this town? Dante, apparently. She accuses him once again of focusing on something else so he won't have to deal with his dad.
Alexis begs Jason for help but he thinks talking to Johnny would be fruitless.
Sam tries to get through to Kristina but Johnny argues the other side. Sonny crashes the party. He demands Kristina come home with him. Kristina, "You've tried that before, fuckwad. Don't you remember yesterday? I'm not your property and I'm of age, so fuck off." Actually what she says is, "No, dad, I'm not". But the other stuff was said by her eyes.
Sonny once again tells her to go with him. Try asking, Dick. She refuses again. Sam tells Kristina not to be rude to her father and if she wants to be treated like an adult, she should act like one. Seems to me, she's acting as an adult just fine. Just because Sam disagrees with her actions, doesn't mean she's acting like a child. I mean, she is acting like a child...just not in this particular case. Sam wants them to talk it out. Kristina says they already tried that in therapy. Somehow Sam convinces Kristina to go with Sonny...although I don't know exactly how. Alone now, Sam wants to know how Johnny could be so stupid. Have you seen this show, Sam? Everyone is stupid.
Alexis begs Jason some more. Jason thinks Johnny isn't the problem, Kristina is and that they need to get through to her. Alexis leaves saying she admires him for what he did for Michael....giving up five years of his life to protect him for a month. Yeah...see the last sentence of the above paragraph.
Carly shows Jax the photograph from Franco. She tells him about the photograph Franco left at Josselyn's christening. Jax is pissed that Carly never told him about that.
Luke wants Maya to give him the new security codes to the mansion so he can see Tracy face to face. Why doesn't he just ask Alice to let him in? I guess Maya needs some sort of storyline. Luke tries to explain why he needs to see Tracy. Lucky and Ethan do their part to convince Maya as well.
At the mansion, Tracy dictates some orders to some hot male secretary(?). She also wants to fire Alice! Luke comes in and tells prettyboy to leave. Tracy tells Luke to get out but he won't leave. She finally dismisses her prettyboy and argues with Luke. She even calls the police. Luke gets down on one knee and proposes.
Back at Lucky's, it's a party! Maya sips some ice tea while Ethan plays pool and Lucky thanks her for helping Luke. Maya asks Ethan why Luke can't stay with him at his big luxurious (fake) penthouse!
Dante and Claire arrive at the Jax's. They share information with Carly and Jax. Dante says he has a plan to draw Franco out.
Johnny visits Jason in jail. Why? My God - does Jason actually spend time in jail? They discuss Kristina.
Sonny and Kristina "talk" at the restaurant. They argue about Johnny. And yell. And Sonny gets all territorial and demanding just like an abuser. But he doesn't hit women! And Kristina actually dares him to hit her.
Before things can get worse (too late), Alexis interrupts the feuding father and daughter. Sonny tries to get Alexis to agree with him...which she does. But Kristina calmly explains to her mother that she won't have a relationship with her dad and storms off.
Johnny says he's not trying to hurt Kristina. He also compares Sonny to his own dad which Jason seems to have a problem with....and the comparison isn't far off. Jason warns Johnny that if things go too far, Kristina won't forgive herself. Why is he there again?
Before Dante can tell his plan, Claire interrupts and says that it's a matter for interpol. Dante gets Carly's statement and he and Claire leave. But not before Dante tells Carly she did the right thing for calling him.
Ethan and Lucky explain their dad to Maya evading the apartment conversation. Maya leaves to go to the hospital. Lucky is amused with Ethan for lying about Johnny's penthouse.
Luke continues to propose and convince Tracy to marry him. The doorbell rings and she warns him to get out before the police come. The police enter the living room and arrest Luke for trespassing.
Back at the PCPD, Lucy meets his handcuffed dad. Luke's pretty depressed that Tracy didn't respond to his pleas.
Sonny and Alexis argue about Kristina and their parenting tactics.
Kristina cries outside Johnny's pad. Johnny comes home and lets her in while Kristina whines about her dad.
Soaking in a bubble bath, Sam answers the phone. It's Jason....with a line of convicts behind him. She describes what she's (not) wearing wanting to have a little phone sex....but Jason's uncomfortable... with a line of convicts waiting behind him.
Jax has made arrangements for everyone to have bodyguards. He's thankful that Carly called him.
Kristina talks about her childhood and lack of father figure. She wants Johnny to take everything away from Sonny.
Sonny blah blah blah blahs to his bodyguards, Max and Milo. He's apparently given them orders to do something bad to Johnny...
Sam wants Jason to talk and he's all mumbly. And she finally realizes that he has an audience until the guard sends them all back to their cells. But...Jason gets five more minutes. Because he's Jason.
At the PCPD, Claire gives Dante the good news that they're releasing Jason into Dante's custody. She says if Jason runs, Dante will be arrested for aiding and abetting. D'oh! It's like an 80's sitcom!

June 22 2010
Steve and Patrick argue about a patient and Lisa tries to interfere. It gets so bad that Patrick punches Steve; Nikolas tries to intervene - but Steve takes care of it: Patrick is suspended.
Kristina doesn't want her mom to interfere with her fake fucking a 30 year old mobster. Alexis tries to talk directly to Johnny.
Now that Dante has gotten Michael out of jail, Brook wants 10 thousand as "severance". Then she tries blackmail.
Dante thought he was clear about Sonny staying away from Michael but he should know by now that Sonny does what he wants despite putting his kids in danger.
Credits: Epiphany/Matt day...
Patrick, "You can't suspend me, I'm the best neurosurgeon in the state." Is Sonny's writer writing for him? Cause seriously? Lisa agrees with Steve, as does Nikolas. Before he rushes off, Patrick snidely says, "Good luck with the patients without me." Oh geez. I so hate arrogance.
Maxie hobbles into the PCPD and sees Lucky. According the SOD, Kirsten Storms broke her foot or something so Maxie will have to suffer by explaining that she's a klutz in five inch heels. And her hair is way too bleached. Anyway, she's there to see Claire Walsh. Lucky wants to know what it's all about. She tells him about Franco.
Alexis and Kristina fight. She threatens to take away the keys to her car. Kristina acts like a total brat chastising her mom for her choices to which Alexis rightly answers, "Then stop following my example!" Kristina pretty much blames her mom for approving of Kiefer. Is she related to Carly somehow? Johnny tries to butt in but Kristina cuts him off. Dayum! Oh gosh, and then all sorts of confusion because Alexis isn't even the one that Kristina wants to hurt but this whole plan is pretty much hurting everyone. And why anyone thought this would be a good story...I just don't know. Anyway, Alexis threatens Johnny...who just seems like he wants to spill the entire truth but is way too caught up in this bullshit. And then Johnny says something even more confusing. He says that he won't pursue Kristina but he won't push her away either. He says it's her choice. And what's your choice, Johnny? Just to be a piece of meat for anyone who wants you? In that case....can I try?
Carly, because she's a big idiot, wants to continue her plan. Brook Lynn doesn't get it. The audience doesn't get it either.
Sonny tries to talk to Michael. Dante tries to usher Sonny out. Sonny thinks he can do whatever he wants. He still wonders what side Dante is on and doesn't realize what an asshole he's being; he doesn't realize what it took to get Michael out. Sonny didn't do it, Dante did. Gawd, did I mention how much I hate arrogance?
Lucky wants to know why Franco is contacting Maxie again. Maxie just wants to get rid of the picture. She runs off her mouth about how much she destroyed Spinelli's faith in her and that she's trying to get it back. Lucky thinks that maybe Maxie should let him go. Agreed!
Steve thanks Nikolas for backing him up earlier. In return, Nikolas wants Steven to talk to Elizabeth about her recent investments.
Kristina and Alexis argue about something that doesn't even matter or should be creating a wedge between them. As it thunders outside, they talk about Sonny and trying to piss him off which neither Johnny nor Kristina really deny. Then Alexis finally says something of note to Johnny, "You stood in my living room and told me that Kristina shouldn't be in Sonny's world. Why is her being in your world any better than that?" Johnny thinks he's better than Sonny. Alexis tells him that Michael is back home - but then goes on to explain Michael being caught in the crossfire and not wanting Kristina to be there as well.
Lulu has her say. She basically calls Sonny selfish (true) and that his being there could send his son back to prison. Sonny: "The judge isn't here right now." ....which may work in five year old court.. Anyway, Lulu finishes and leaves. Even Sonny admits that Lulu is pretty amazing. But Sonny just wants to be a good father. Dante tells him to prove it by going home.
Bar of one night stands: Coleman pours Patrick a shot. Patrick plans to get drunk and hands Coleman his keys. Lisa comes in to make things worse. Patrick continues to act like a toddler - Lisa continues to insult his livelihood. And whatever, after various barbs traded, Lisa gets serious for a moment and brings up Patrick's dad. I guess even the best neurosurgeons have daddy issues.
Carly is at home taking down the "welcome home" sign when the doorbell rings. Lulu stops by and Carly acts all fake. Lulu gets to the point. She tells him about Sonny and Dante and Michael. Carly says she'll talk to Sonny. She also lies that she's grateful to Dante.
Michael finally speaks up and tells Sonny that he's glad his dad came to see him but he should stay away. Sonny, "I just want us all to get to know each other" because he's a deluded freak. Michael says the law says differently. Sonny, "I don't care about the law." Duh times twelve.
Patrick continues to drink as he explains to Coleman why he's so fucked up. Blah blah blah, ex-girlfriend, blah blah blah, steals my patients. He doesn't forget to bring up Robin while he's upset about Steven "stealing" his ex-girlfriend. Because he lurves her. Luke walks in and decides to have his own pity party. Keys to Coleman. Drinks all around. Luke can't go to the Haunted Star because technically it belongs to Tracy.
Maxie apologizes to Lucky for giving him grief about staying with Elizabeth. Lucky thinks he's the last person he should trust to give advice and says that if she wants to work on things with Spinelli, she should. No!!!! Claire arrives. They snark back and forth until Lucky urges Maxie to tell Claire why she's there. She does.
Brook comes by Johnny's with the bad excuse that her car broke down. He calls a tow truck.
Sonny continues to be a selfish prick. He wants the three of them to figure things out and play scrabble and decorate the christmas tree and play with puppies and gawd I'm bored. And same arguments...blah blah blah. Sonny to Dante "Why can't you ever see me in a good light?" Maybe because of lines like "I don't care about the law!" Dante retorts with, "Why can't you do the right thing for once?" Isn't that the eternal question? But Sonny's in hell! Because it's all about Sonny! And he's not going to stop loving his children! And what? Is that...what Dante said? Because I didn't hear that. Sonny leaves as he usually does....as a five year old having a tantrum.
Patrick and Luke drink and talk about their problems....uh oh. Isn't this how Johnny and Olivia ended up in bed?
Claire questions Maxie about the picture. Nothing much comes out except Jason and murder. Lucky walks Maxie out and Claire immediately gets on the phone with someone she needs to see about Franco.
Brook, clothed in Johnny's shirt aks him about Kristina etc... She finally goes to get dressed.
Sonny sees Olivia at the docks. They talk even though she shouldn't. He tells her about Dante and Michael.
Dante and Michael make the couch up. Michael seems open to having a brotherly relationship with Dante. They talk about Sonny. Dante is surprised to hear that Sonny is good at fishing. I'm not. He probably yells at them and tells them they betrayed him before they just up and die. Michael says he feels bad that Dante and Sonny can't make things work.
Patrick and Luke continue talking about their woes. Gosh it's awful being a responsible man in a committed relationship!
It's Ronnie! Claire asks him about Franco and tells him what she knows so far. He thinks she just needs to keep an eye on Jason and she'll find Franco.
Dante agrees that Sonny can be charming but thinks if he's that devoted to his kids, he should walk away - from his business or his kids.
Blah blah blah, Sonny and Olivia and I'm bored again.

June 15 2010
Alexis comes home to find Kristina writing a letter to her brother. She asks her mom how her latest community service is coming. Alexis lists her pro bono lawyer assignments and somehow segues into Kristina's next psych appointment with her dad. Kristina protests that she doesn't want to but Alexis thinks it's important.
Olivia raps on Johnny's door. She's mad and he thinks it's because she doesn't want him causing trouble with Dante's father.
Lulu breaks up the fake fight between Brook Lynn and Carly.
Warden informs Jason that Prisoner McRapist is dead and Jason will be going to solitary. Dante objects.
Credits: Epiphany/Matt Day.
Ethan is cheating at poker and collects large sums of cash when Skye walks in and his compadres leave. Skye light-heartedly accuses Ethan of cheating and informs him that Luke and company are on their way home. Ethan wonders why Luke called her. She says that Luke wants her to be scarce; she thinks that Luke and Tracy may be splitting up for good.
Alexis explains why therapy with Sonny are necessary. Kristina explains why it's hopeless. Alexis defends Sonny and Kristina compares the denial and defending to her relationship with Keifer.
Olivia is worried that someone is going to get killed. Johnny says it will be Sonny. Olivia worries that if that happens, Johnny will get arrested. Johnny says that Sonny hasn't paid for anything he's done (true) and that his sister has died for her mistakes. Johnny wants to reinvent the Zacchara name but Olivia doesn't get why.
Dante introduces himself to the warden and says if Jason is put in solitary, then Michael will be left unprotected. Um...that's why it's fucking jail, Dante. Warden says that Jason knew that when he chose to kill another inmate. Dante wants to know who the prisoner is even though he has no jurisdiction over the matter. The Warden orders the guard to take Jason away. I wonder if they'll strip him down, like in Oz.
Carly fake apologizes to Lulu about being over-protective. Lulu wants to know why Carly thinks Dante would cheat on her. Hooked, lined and sunk..
Now Olivia is trying to use Michael as an excuse to keep the peace but Johnny knows that that's total B.S. Johnny thinks Dante has too many ties to Sonny and brings up the tired situation where Dante lied about Sonny shooting him in a chest.....which I will never understand and apparently neither will Johnny. Johnny thinks Dante will do whatever he can to protect Sonny. And he thinks that if Olivia is on Dante's side, she'll eventually be on Sonny's side. She leaves in a huff and he throws a glass against the wall. Just like Sonny would.
Alexis explains that when she was growing up, she tried to protect Kristina from Sonny and thinks it might have been a mistake. Kristina doesn't think it was a mistake. She doesn't understand why Alexis is trying to defend Sonny and thinks Sonny will one day get what's coming to him.
Still at prison, Dante finally gets to visit Michael. He asks Michael about Prisoner McRapist.
Carly makes it seem like Lulu is trying to get it out of her and then finally relents by saying that Dante has many similarities with Sonny. She acts all innocent about it when she's manipulating the entire conversation.
Skye informs Ethan that she has unfinished business and Ethan offers to help. Skye coyly protests and then tells him it's about money. She tells him he's a little late. Enter Jax who will help. And also, enter Maya who tells Ethan that Tracy called Alice to throw Luke's stuff out on the lawn and be ready with a can of gasoline. Ethan thinks it's funny and it'll all work out in the end.
Lulu says that Dante is not the type of guy who cheats because he doesn't even flirt with women. Carly blah blah blahs about Sonny. Anyway, the point is, she's putting doubt into Lulu's mind.
Dante tries to get Michael to spill. Michael doesn't want to but finally does except he says that Jason was with him when Prisoner McRapist was killed...which I guess was technically true.
Warden interrogates some other prisoners who don't rat out Jason. Warden puts him in solitary anyway despite not having any proof. Jason begs to stay with Michael. Because Jason can just kill anyone he wants and gets away with it.
Skye fills Jax in that Luke was helping her but she needs Jax now because Luke has got other things on his mind. Jax guesses that it's something not quite legal but says he'll help anyway and offers to meet her at the hotel later to discuss the details.
Maya doesn't understand why Luke is attracted to Tracy. Ethan and Skye explain why. Skye runs off. Maya wants to run off too, but Ethan stops her with his..."spark".
Lisa and Steven at a hotel She goes on to explain all the reason why they're at a hotel but it's really because neither of them have a home set yet. He wonders if she's trying to make Patrick jealous.
Lulu convinces Carly (herself) that it's no big deal that Brooke is across the hall. Carly walks over to Brook's place and tells her that it's ok to stay there and to keep her job. Brook thanks Lulu for her help. Lulu goes back into her apartment and has the doubt that Carly was hoping for. Check and Mate.
Dante tries to help Michael. oh blah blah blah, this episode is so boring. Michael finally gets annoyed enough to go back to his cell.
Warden doesn't like that an 18 year old brain damaged kid (I've really yet to see how brain-damaged Michael really is) got sentenced to Pentonville. Jason asks the Warden to help him if he thinks that. Jason tries to convince him. He goes into this awful manipulative speech about how he promised Michael he'd keep him safe and guilts the Warden into helping. Maybe you should have thought about that before you killed someone. UGH.
Lisa and Steven continue to flirt and tell stories. *bleep blop*
Ethan and Maya play cards and flirt. *bleep blop*
Jason and Michael talk about Dante in their cell. I guess the Warden relented. Jason is mad that Michael lied for him when he said not to.
Kristina and Molly write letters to Michael while Kristina continues to trash Sonny. She tells Molly that she's helping Johnny.
Olivia comes back to visit Johnny. They sort of apologize to each other. She admits that she'll have to stand by her son but doesn't want her relationship with Johnny to be over.
Molly wonders if Kristina really wants Johnny to date her. She assures Molly that it's all about her dad.
Olivia and Johnny make up. Johnny says they should take things as they come. So the relationship is not over...yet.
Carly calls Brook and tells her that they got Lulu. After she hangs up, Jax comes in. They flirt and talk about Morgan. She asks him to dinner, but Skye walks in. Denied!
Jason reassures Michael that he's doing fine. Michael wants to learn more self-defense and how to kill...
-end
Olivia raps on Johnny's door. She's mad and he thinks it's because she doesn't want him causing trouble with Dante's father.
Lulu breaks up the fake fight between Brook Lynn and Carly.
Warden informs Jason that Prisoner McRapist is dead and Jason will be going to solitary. Dante objects.
Credits: Epiphany/Matt Day.
Ethan is cheating at poker and collects large sums of cash when Skye walks in and his compadres leave. Skye light-heartedly accuses Ethan of cheating and informs him that Luke and company are on their way home. Ethan wonders why Luke called her. She says that Luke wants her to be scarce; she thinks that Luke and Tracy may be splitting up for good.
Alexis explains why therapy with Sonny are necessary. Kristina explains why it's hopeless. Alexis defends Sonny and Kristina compares the denial and defending to her relationship with Keifer.
Olivia is worried that someone is going to get killed. Johnny says it will be Sonny. Olivia worries that if that happens, Johnny will get arrested. Johnny says that Sonny hasn't paid for anything he's done (true) and that his sister has died for her mistakes. Johnny wants to reinvent the Zacchara name but Olivia doesn't get why.
Dante introduces himself to the warden and says if Jason is put in solitary, then Michael will be left unprotected. Um...that's why it's fucking jail, Dante. Warden says that Jason knew that when he chose to kill another inmate. Dante wants to know who the prisoner is even though he has no jurisdiction over the matter. The Warden orders the guard to take Jason away. I wonder if they'll strip him down, like in Oz.
Carly fake apologizes to Lulu about being over-protective. Lulu wants to know why Carly thinks Dante would cheat on her. Hooked, lined and sunk..
Now Olivia is trying to use Michael as an excuse to keep the peace but Johnny knows that that's total B.S. Johnny thinks Dante has too many ties to Sonny and brings up the tired situation where Dante lied about Sonny shooting him in a chest.....which I will never understand and apparently neither will Johnny. Johnny thinks Dante will do whatever he can to protect Sonny. And he thinks that if Olivia is on Dante's side, she'll eventually be on Sonny's side. She leaves in a huff and he throws a glass against the wall. Just like Sonny would.
Alexis explains that when she was growing up, she tried to protect Kristina from Sonny and thinks it might have been a mistake. Kristina doesn't think it was a mistake. She doesn't understand why Alexis is trying to defend Sonny and thinks Sonny will one day get what's coming to him.
Still at prison, Dante finally gets to visit Michael. He asks Michael about Prisoner McRapist.
Carly makes it seem like Lulu is trying to get it out of her and then finally relents by saying that Dante has many similarities with Sonny. She acts all innocent about it when she's manipulating the entire conversation.
Skye informs Ethan that she has unfinished business and Ethan offers to help. Skye coyly protests and then tells him it's about money. She tells him he's a little late. Enter Jax who will help.

June 14 2010
So it was my birthday weekend and I drank tons. I'm feeling better now.
Claire calls Sonny flat out crazy or an ingenious manipulator which turns out is not exclusive of each other since he's both. She needs some eyeshadow. She wants to know what gives Sonny the right to kill Johnny while she looks the other way. Because he's an arrogant S.O.B.
And the reason why Sonny's in such a tiff - Kristina is hanging out at Johnny's with a plan. She wants to pretend she's Johnny's girlfriend. Johnny's not so sure about the plan. He tries to get out of it by being an understanding big brother-type. I'm not even sure what she would get out of this especially since she admits it'll just make her dad out-of-control crazy. Does she really want her dad in prison that badly? And from this plan, the thing that will put him in jail is killing Johnny. Not exactly a win-win here.
Dante quickly puts the picture that Franco sent him away while Lulu jokingly walks out in a towel doing a Brooklyn accent saying she was accidentally locked out. But she sees Dante is upset.
Also upset? Prisoner McRapist. 'Cause Jason just killed him. Before he dies, Prisoner McRapist lets slip that Franco "wants to play". Jason demands to know where Franco is. Why should he tell you? You stabbed him! Prisoner McRapist agrees with me and dies instead of telling Jason anything more.
Credits: Lisa/Steve day.
Jason realizes Michael was watching and yells at him to get back to his cell.
Lulu thinks making fun of Brook Lynn was what made Dante upset. He tries to change the subject but she wants to know what's up. She steers the conversation back to what's bothering him and he says it's just some case that he thought was ended...which I guess isn't an outright lie. Of course the phone rings and it's Maxie. Maxie has some emergency but Lulu wants to have sex. Dante tells her it's ok and that he wants to investigate this "cold case". After she goes, Dante calls someone to come over.
Sonny denies that he wants to kill Johnny. Claire repeats his sentence about killing Johnny Zacharra word for word. They argue about what the law means. She calls him lots of accurate names - but we all know she's going to end up in bed with him. This upsets me. But I will continue to like Claire until that happens. Bottom line, she threatens that if Johnny shows up dead, she'll prosecute Sonny to the fullest extent of the law.
Kristina whines about how Sonny tortured Claudia. Johnny doesn't want to use her but she says she's willing. He asks her what I asked earlier in the episode: "What does [she] get out of it?" She just wants him to hurt. He asks her to elaborate and how she sees it playing out. She asks if it matters? Johnny, "it does if I'm dead in the end, yeah." Exactly what I said. I could right this show. Which doesn't say much. She assures him that he won't die and that he'll go to jail if he tries. Johnny thinks she should be channeling all that hate energy into something positive and realizes the irony of his being the one to say that.
Luke and Tracy are still stuck in their cell arguing about their fake marriage. He insists he's still in love with her but she thinks he's just in love with her money. Nikolas comes and opens the gates. Luke thinks he's working with Helena.
I just realized that Dante's place reminds me of Courtney's old place. Ah well. Lulu, now dressed, talks about Maxie and how stupid she is...and I don't disagree. She brings up Franco which makes Dante go off on him and how he hurt his girlfriend. They kiss and part ways. Dante takes out the photo again.
Kristina wants to know why Johnny is being so noble/stubborn. He insists he's not a nice guy. He further explains why he can't do this plan. She says she feels safe with him but assures him it's not sexual. She leaves saying if he changes his mind, the offer is still open.
Carly stops by her bar at the metro court and asks Patrick where his dinner companions are. Patrick snidely says that Lisa and Steve are probably sexing it up somewhere. He tells her that Robin is off in Africa. She snidely says, "it must be lonely having a saint for a wife." She tells the bartender that Patrick's tab is on the house and they weirdly flirt. Carly goads him a bit about Lisa.
Nicholas wants to know if Helena locked them in the cell for a good reason. Tracy, "And people call the Quartermaines crazy." Hee. She says there's no reason to lock someone in a dungeon and it almost killed her. Luke takes this as an opportunity to placate his non-wife by telling her more than Nicholas that his undying love and devotion brought her back to health. Nicholas says he'll have them both flown out of there right away. Lucky who was listening to the last sentence, steps in and says that was "awfully big of [him]". But I think he's being sarcastic because he says it all mean-like.
Patrick tells Carly that he has the wrong impression. She thinks she doesn't. He insists he wouldn't cheat on Robin but Carly doesn't buy it.
Back at the cell, Jason tells Michael that he needs his help. He makes sure that Michael denies he knows anything. And not to speak up for him or defend him. Michael says he's learned not to trust the cops and Jason immediately regrets his entire existence. He tells Michael that that's not what he's supposed to learn. But why not? Jason doesn't trust cops. Why should Michael? This reminds me of a fantasy I once had of Jason dressed as a cop. It's not so much that I want him to be a cop....I just think he'd look hot in that uniform. *rowr*
Ronnie is delightfully surprised that Dante called him. Dante gives him the picture and exposits that ever since Franco was labeled a serial killer, the public can't get enough of him. Dante thinks the picture may mean that Franco is killing again. Ronnie thinks that Dante wants to go after Franco so he can avoid going after Sonny.
UGH. Claire is still at Sonny's? This should have ended three scenes ago. They goad and threaten each other and there's nothing new. He thinks the plan might be to take him down instead of Johnny. She wants to know if he's accusing her of a double cross. Yes. Now go home.
Nicholas sends Tracy and Luke upstairs where some guy is going to take them to Athens. Nicholas thinks he done good but Lucky doesn't want to thank him.
Patrick casually changes the subject towards Carly's son. She says it's hard but is glad Jason is in there to protect him. Patrick admits that what Jason did was admirable despite pretty much hating him. Carly takes an incoming phone call. It's Brook telling her that Dante is gone and Lulu just walked in.
Michael wants to know what Prisoner McRapist told Jason. Jason doesn't want to say but insists it wasn't about Michael. He's bothered about all that Michael is learning. Michael says he's learned that killing is about staying alive; not fear and respect.
And Claire is still there. She repeats her terms: If he tricks Johnny into committing an illegal act, she'll arrest Johnny but if Sonny is caught committing an illegal act, she'll arrest Sonny. He somehow starts talking about his kids and their problems and his problems not seeing his kids...and stuff. And I don't know why. They finally finalize the deal. And she finally leaves.
Lucky criticizes Helena's actions but Nikolas defends it because Luke plays the same games. Lucky reminds him that Helena kidnapped him for a year and messed with his head. Something that never really got addressed with the other two Luckys and I hope they delve into that a bit more. He says that Elizabeth was the only thing that got him through all of it and Nikolas came along and took her away from him.
Olivia comes in to talk about a bartender; Sonny tells her to leave because he's meeting Johnny there. But too late, cause Johnny comes in asks him if he should get upset because he's hanging out with his "lady". He tells Sonny to not push his buttons because he won't like how he pushes back.
Dante visits Jason in jail and shows him the picture.
Nikolas doesn't really get it. He says that what Helena did had nothing to do with him and that Elizabeth chose to be with him. Lucky says it's not about Elizabeth; it's about the brother who he trusted.....and then shuts him in the cell.
Sonny makes empty threats while Olivia watches. Johnny makes the same empty threats and leaves.
Carly and Brook Lynn stage a fake fight for Lulu's behalf. Carly fakes a threat to fire Brook for trying to seduce Dante. Brook fake insists that she didn't. Lulu hears this, comes out and tells everyone that it's all ok! Sucker.
Jason plays the staring game and Dante gets mad. The warden walks in and tells Jason, "I warned you what would happen if you caused trouble here".

June 10 2010
Ok, so I've been really crappy lately. I've missed almost two weeks. I'll try to be better, I promise :)
So Luke and Tracy are still in their little dungeon cell and I don't see a toilet anywhere. Luke screams for Helena. He does everything from yelling Fire! to screaming that Tracy died to threatening Helena's life if his wife dies. Tracy awakens and gives Luke the bad news (spoiler!) that she remembers their wedding.
Brook Lynn makes up some stupid story about the cable guy to show why she's a big naked slut in front of Dante's door. She ends with, "I need you, Dante. I need you bad". (-ly) And no one in the audience is fooled into thinking that she means what we're supposed to think she means.
Carly pretends she's not mad at Lulu anymore but Sonny sees right through it.
Michael wants to know what Jason is going to do to Prisoner McRapist. And it's still unclear if Prisoner McRapist has lived up to his name.
Credits: It's a Matt/Epiphany day.
Kristina shows Molly some photos she took of the harbor to send to Michael so "he won't feel trapped". Or it may make him feel even more trapped seeing what he can't have. Molly compares Michael to some guy in a novel she's reading...blah blah blah. When she describes the 1920s cliche part of the book where someone gets slapped and then passionately kissed, Kristina gets all wiggy. Then Molly gets all wiggy and apologizes. She runs off and Kristina goes to answer the door: it's Skye.
Ethan visits Johnny and complains about losing money. Johnny tells him where he can get more money. Something about mob money/meeting...whatever. I'm bored. I don't want the head of Sonny Corinthos being cut off only to have Johnny's sprout in it's place. They joke about car bombs which makes Ethan all wiggy (that's three!) until Johnny lures him back with the prospect of gaining ten grand. Also? This guy they're seeing knows and respects Luke.
You know who's the last person you want walking in when you're hot neighbor is wet in a towel in your apartment? Your girlfriend. Lulu overhears sex talk, but it's really lock talk. And Brook is dressed in a Dante-sized shirt.
Carly continues to try to explain why she's not mad at Lulu even though she is. Sonny doesn't buy it. Carly wonders aloud if Michael would be in prison if he'd grown up a Quartermaine with AJ. Probably. But for different reasons. Sonny's offended, of course. Because AJ was an alcoholic which is so much better than being a mobster. /sarcasm.
Michael doesn't want Jason to kill Prisoner McRapist. Jason only knows the rules of the mob which apparently are the same rules of the prison. They argue. Michael makes some sense and seems to be getting through to Jason.
Tracy describes what she remembers from their wedding.
Maxie cut her hair like a boy. She actually looks kinda cute. Matt asks her to wait while he finishes up and seems happy to see her. Meanwhile Steve and Lisa talk plans while Patrick listens and grows more jealous. Patrick says he wants to go back to plan A where Lisa buys him dinner and Steve realizes he's been intruding. Maxie watches all of this with extreme interest. Lisa makes the decision that lunch will involve the three of them and leaves. Patrick gets snippy with someone on the phone and Maxie comes over to give her opinion. She wants to know why he's so jealous of someone who's not his girlfriend.
Lulu interrupts the picking a lock thing. Dante continues to struggle (bad cop) while Brook finally explains the stupid cable guy story. He finally gets her in and Lulu gets a little suspicious.
Kristina describes to Skye how hard it's been for her. Skye spits out platitudes.
Carly continues the lie (truth?) that she never should have married Sonny. She says that she, Sonny and Jason are all to blame for where Michael is....but says the person who turned him in was Dante. They argue for a bit more until Carly leaves.
Luke tries to keep Tracy conscious by talking about their vows. He wants to renew their vows. Tracy worries that since Luke is being so loving and romantic that she must be worse than she thought.
Ethan and Johnny play cards and gamble and drink. Johnny calls that guy Lopez.
Kristina visits Michael in jail. They talk about their dad. Michael wants Kristina to give Sonny another chance.
Sonny visits Jason. Is there really no limit to how many visitors someone can get? He asks her about Carly and what's up. Jason keeps mum.
Tracy wants to know why he wants to renew their vows. She says it's something she should remember since she doesn't remember the first time. Luke gets down on one knee and says some sweet vows. I won't transpose but you can tell that it comes from his heart. Tracy starts hers and it's just as sweet. She starts to cough worse.
Patrick defends himself to Maxie who chides him for replacing Robin because he's someone who constantly needs female affection. Matt interrupts and takes his date away. Lisa and Steve come back and Lisa tells Patrick that he was right and they should all study the investment on their own and she'll have dinner with Steve...alone.
Lulu picks up a baseball bat while telling Dante that she has the rest of the day off. But Dante has a meeting with a lawyer about Michael's appeal.
Michael continues to defend their dad but Kristina argues the other side.
Jason and Sonny talk about Carly further. And...boy did I pick the wrong episode to come back on.
Patrick curiously asks Lisa about her involvement with Steve. He doesn't think Steve's her type. She says her tastes have changed.
Matt assures Maxie that Patrick is "crazy in love with Robin". She thinks he's oblivious and that 'players' always cheat. Matt says she should know since she's the one that's cheating.
Skye approaches Ethan about Kristina. She's concerned and wants Ethan to befriend Kristina.
Kristina comes home in a huff and Molly thinks it's about her. Kristina tells her that she's mad at Sonny for Michael's sake. She's mad and will stay mad!!!
In his cell, Michael talks with Jason about Kristina. The guard calls Jason out of his cell while Prisoner McRapist lurks and watches Michael. Remember that tension between Dante and Lulu before they had sex...and they kept getting interrupted and stuff? It's kinda like that. Only creepy.
Luke frets over a dying Tracy. In his fretting, he accidentally let's slip that their Vegas wedding was fake. This wakes Tracy up. Rut Roh!
Brook brings back Dante's shirt, washed and ironed. Lulu begins to lay down the law while Dante eavesdrops.
Johnny's on the phone, happy about the Lopez shipment. Carly comes to visit him with a present. She really spreads that wealth around. I need get to Port Charles soon. She asks Johnny if he and Dante are on good terms.
Kristina comes to the Corinthos mansion to tell her father that she and Michael were talking about him. Kristina insists she knows the truth that Sonny is abusive.
Prisoner McRapist walks into Michael's cell. Michael prepares his karate kid stance. McR informs Michael that the guard owes him favors. Michael starts to fight but he doesn't have to since Jason opens the cell door.
-end
So Luke and Tracy are still in their little dungeon cell and I don't see a toilet anywhere. Luke screams for Helena. He does everything from yelling Fire! to screaming that Tracy died to threatening Helena's life if his wife dies. Tracy awakens and gives Luke the bad news (spoiler!) that she remembers their wedding.
Brook Lynn makes up some stupid story about the cable guy to show why she's a big naked slut in front of Dante's door. She ends with, "I need you, Dante. I need you bad". (-ly) And no one in the audience is fooled into thinking that she means what we're supposed to think she means.
Carly pretends she's not mad at Lulu anymore but Sonny sees right through it.
Michael wants to know what Jason is going to do to Prisoner McRapist. And it's still unclear if Prisoner McRapist has lived up to his name.
Credits: It's a Matt/Epiphany day.
Kristina shows Molly some photos she took of the harbor to send to Michael so "he won't feel trapped". Or it may make him feel even more trapped seeing what he can't have. Molly compares Michael to some guy in a novel she's reading...blah blah blah. When she describes the 1920s cliche part of the book where someone gets slapped and then passionately kissed, Kristina gets all wiggy. Then Molly gets all wiggy and apologizes. She runs off and Kristina goes to answer the door: it's Skye.
Ethan visits Johnny and complains about losing money. Johnny tells him where he can get more money. Something about mob money/meeting...whatever. I'm bored. I don't want the head of Sonny Corinthos being cut off only to have Johnny's sprout in it's place. They joke about car bombs which makes Ethan all wiggy (that's three!) until Johnny lures him back with the prospect of gaining ten grand. Also? This guy they're seeing knows and respects Luke.
You know who's the last person you want walking in when you're hot neighbor is wet in a towel in your apartment? Your girlfriend. Lulu overhears sex talk, but it's really lock talk. And Brook is dressed in a Dante-sized shirt.
Carly continues to try to explain why she's not mad at Lulu even though she is. Sonny doesn't buy it. Carly wonders aloud if Michael would be in prison if he'd grown up a Quartermaine with AJ. Probably. But for different reasons. Sonny's offended, of course. Because AJ was an alcoholic which is so much better than being a mobster. /sarcasm.
Michael doesn't want Jason to kill Prisoner McRapist. Jason only knows the rules of the mob which apparently are the same rules of the prison. They argue. Michael makes some sense and seems to be getting through to Jason.
Tracy describes what she remembers from their wedding.
Maxie cut her hair like a boy. She actually looks kinda cute. Matt asks her to wait while he finishes up and seems happy to see her. Meanwhile Steve and Lisa talk plans while Patrick listens and grows more jealous. Patrick says he wants to go back to plan A where Lisa buys him dinner and Steve realizes he's been intruding. Maxie watches all of this with extreme interest. Lisa makes the decision that lunch will involve the three of them and leaves. Patrick gets snippy with someone on the phone and Maxie comes over to give her opinion. She wants to know why he's so jealous of someone who's not his girlfriend.
Lulu interrupts the picking a lock thing. Dante continues to struggle (bad cop) while Brook finally explains the stupid cable guy story. He finally gets her in and Lulu gets a little suspicious.
Kristina describes to Skye how hard it's been for her. Skye spits out platitudes.
Carly continues the lie (truth?) that she never should have married Sonny. She says that she, Sonny and Jason are all to blame for where Michael is....but says the person who turned him in was Dante. They argue for a bit more until Carly leaves.
Luke tries to keep Tracy conscious by talking about their vows. He wants to renew their vows. Tracy worries that since Luke is being so loving and romantic that she must be worse than she thought.
Ethan and Johnny play cards and gamble and drink. Johnny calls that guy Lopez.
Kristina visits Michael in jail. They talk about their dad. Michael wants Kristina to give Sonny another chance.
Sonny visits Jason. Is there really no limit to how many visitors someone can get? He asks her about Carly and what's up. Jason keeps mum.
Tracy wants to know why he wants to renew their vows. She says it's something she should remember since she doesn't remember the first time. Luke gets down on one knee and says some sweet vows. I won't transpose but you can tell that it comes from his heart. Tracy starts hers and it's just as sweet. She starts to cough worse.
Patrick defends himself to Maxie who chides him for replacing Robin because he's someone who constantly needs female affection. Matt interrupts and takes his date away. Lisa and Steve come back and Lisa tells Patrick that he was right and they should all study the investment on their own and she'll have dinner with Steve...alone.
Lulu picks up a baseball bat while telling Dante that she has the rest of the day off. But Dante has a meeting with a lawyer about Michael's appeal.
Michael continues to defend their dad but Kristina argues the other side.
Jason and Sonny talk about Carly further. And...boy did I pick the wrong episode to come back on.
Patrick curiously asks Lisa about her involvement with Steve. He doesn't think Steve's her type. She says her tastes have changed.
Matt assures Maxie that Patrick is "crazy in love with Robin". She thinks he's oblivious and that 'players' always cheat. Matt says she should know since she's the one that's cheating.
Skye approaches Ethan about Kristina. She's concerned and wants Ethan to befriend Kristina.
Kristina comes home in a huff and Molly thinks it's about her. Kristina tells her that she's mad at Sonny for Michael's sake. She's mad and will stay mad!!!
In his cell, Michael talks with Jason about Kristina. The guard calls Jason out of his cell while Prisoner McRapist lurks and watches Michael. Remember that tension between Dante and Lulu before they had sex...and they kept getting interrupted and stuff? It's kinda like that. Only creepy.
Luke frets over a dying Tracy. In his fretting, he accidentally let's slip that their Vegas wedding was fake. This wakes Tracy up. Rut Roh!
Brook brings back Dante's shirt, washed and ironed. Lulu begins to lay down the law while Dante eavesdrops.
Johnny's on the phone, happy about the Lopez shipment. Carly comes to visit him with a present. She really spreads that wealth around. I need get to Port Charles soon. She asks Johnny if he and Dante are on good terms.

May 28 2010
So I missed the last few days. I'm loving Claire's manipulation of Sonny. She's smart and I can see her brain working a mile a minute. Sonny's wrath and self-centeredness continues to make me want to throw beer bottles at the TV. I love Brook Lynn, although I'm not sure how they're writing her. Is she a money obsessed bitch who will do anything to live in the lap of luxury or does she actually feel for Lulu and Dante. Could she just be a complicated character and the answer is both? Nah...this is General Hospital. So let's start, shall we?
We're in Dante's pad with Lulu and the above mentioned Brook Lynn Ashton. Dante tries to convince Lulu to get Brook to sing at the metro-court. Lulu remembers that Brook used to have issues with singing for money. OMG. I just flash backed to that awful audition where all those sad extras had to sing "Milkshake". Oh and Dillon wore a dress.... Anyway, Brook is over that whole issue. It's fun to see Dante being manipulated by Brook.
Michael is pissed at Jason (the only guy in there protecting him) for confronting the guard.
Lucky and Claire argue about Sonny. He thinks that Sonny is manipulating Claire.....but she assures him it's the other way around.
Johnny is being held by Max, Milo and some other thugs because Sonny is too much of a pussy to handle him mano a mano. Johnny plays it cool until Olivia runs up to save her boy toy.
Credits: OK, so it seems they're flip flopping credits every day. One day is Epiphany and Matt and the other day is Steve and Lisa. Today? Steve and Lisa.
Kristina comes to see her cousin at Wyndemere. She asks about Spencer but Nikolas probably doesn't know. I'm sure he's around with the servants somewhere. Anyway, Kristina talks about Michael and how unfair it is. Nik can't help with Michael but tells Kristina that RoadKill's parents will be dropping the wrongful death lawsuit soon. Kristina admits that she misses RoadKill sometimes and then wonders if it sounds ridiculous. Nikolas says (yes) no. He then talks about his woes with Elizabeth.
Lucky worries about Claire. He's known Sonny for a long time and still thinks that Claire's going to be manipulated. Lucky asks a hypothetical, "Assuming you can't get both of them, who would you rather bust: Sonny or Johnny". Claire defiantly answers: "Who says we can't get both"? She admits that Sonny is very convincing but she knows his 'act'. Lucky says he's only known two woman who can hold their own against Sonny: Carly and Diane. Lucky talks about what a great guy Sonny can be and that's how he draws women in. He says that women want to "save him". Claire says she doesn't want to save him. She wants to put him away. Oh god. I hope she never folds. The wheels of cliche foreshadowing are getting me down. She goes on a rant about how awful Sonny is.
Olivia tries to convince Sonny to let Johnny go, though Johnny and Sonny want her to let it go. Finally Sonny, the sexist dick says, "Go on Johnny, let your girlfriend save your ass." Because girls can't be powerful! Girls can't fight! Only men smash!
Dick.
Jason tells Michael that he's there to protect him but he can only do that if he knows what happened. MIchael convinces him to let it go. He proves himself by blocking a test punch from Jason.
Lulu and Dante update Brook Lynn on the Michael situation. And the Carly wrath. Brook puts two and two together. She now knows the full reason why she's there.
CPPP makes an announcement over the GH loudspeaker telling everyone that all her jewelry is on sale. Epiphany angrily takes the phone away from her. CPPP doesn't apologize! She's got cancer! She can do what she wants! Elizabeth wheels her away.
Sonny, "Blah blah blah, women, blah blah blah, you shoulda been dead...blah blah blah." Johnny, "You're nothing without Jason...blah blah blah". Olivia, "Relax, you both have big dicks." Blah. Blah-fuckity-blah. They both threaten each other and...I don't care.
Lulu says she'll talk to Carly although she's a bit wary. Brook makes a break for it but Lulu and Dante convince her to stay for dinner so they can all talk about Benson-fucking-hurst. Brook tells a boring story when Lulu gets interrupted by a work emergency. She goes off leaving the too Brooklynites alone.
Carly visits Michael in jail and is alarmed to see his bruises. It's nice that Pentonville seems to have unlimited visiting hours.
Claire comments on Lucky's knowledge of Sonny's personal life. He tells her of his dad's past with Sonny. Claire hopes it won't be a conflict of interest but Lucky reassures her that it won't. I can't wait until they kiss. She flirts a little, asking him out under the guise of work. Helena interrupts telling Lucky to tell his "secretary" to get back to work because she needs his full attention. Ha! Claire seems amused rather than offended and goes off. After she leaves, Helena wants to know why Lucky won't "let" Elizabeth move to Wyndemere.
Liz mock scolds CPPP. She talks about Nikolas and Wyndemere and ultrasounds and CPPP eats the whole thing up like she's watching a soap opera. She thinks Elizabeth should reconsider living at Wyndemere.
Sam and Kristina walk down a the street with empty cups of coffee. These actors really need to learn how to hold cups and act like there's liquid inside. I mean that's like acting 101. Anyway, Kristina's going Pentonville to visit Michael and Sam wants to talk her out of it. When she realizes she can't, she tries to prepare Kristina for the prison set(ting).
Carly questions Michael about his injuries. Carly worries; Michael prattles. She tells him that Jax is working on getting him out. She also tells him that, "the one person responsible for putting you in here is Dante Falconeri." No one else is to blame. This week.
Sonny visits his eldest. Seriously, can Dante get a lock on his door? Not a great place for a cop to live.
Am I seriously only half way done with this shit? They don't pay me enough. Oh wait, they don't pay me.
Sonny is concerned about Olivia. *bleep-blop* Sonny leaves.
CPPP continues to try to convince Elizabeth to move in with Nikolas.
Also trying to convince someone to have Elizabeth move to Wyndemere? Helena. Lucky tries to tell her he has nothing to do with her decision but Helena's not listening. She thinks Lucky needs to be more pro-active.
Kristina's turn to visit. Michael jokes that he ran into a door. She jokes that he opened a cabinet and a can fell out and hit him in the eye. Ahh, abuse humor. She's come a long way.
Carly is now visiting Jason. She wants to know how he got his bruises. He says he doesn't know but tells her that he's teaching Michael how to fight. She tells herself more than Jason that Michael will get out of here and move on with his life. Sure.
Nikolas checks up on Elizabeth via phone when Lucky enters. He tells her about Helena's visit. Nikolas agrees with Helena that Lucky is responsible for Liz's decisions. Lucky's all perplexed about how cruel Nikolas has been. He blames Emily's death for changing Nikolas. Nikolas suggests that people have affairs all the time and then points out Lucky's affair with Maxie. Nik defends his child-rearing actions and threatens Lucky to stay out of the way.
Michael jokes about the food in prison. Kristina wants to know what she can do to help. He wants her to not take things for granted. He talks about how wonderful Port Charles is; he misses Kelly's and the coffee and french fries there. Times up.
Carly commiserates with Jason about Dante and Lulu although Jason wants her to stop focussing on them. But Carly is like a dog with a bone.
Brook Lynn is back at Dante's and they're cooking. Because that's what Italian's do. Italian's from Brooklyn. They cook! And they go to church!. And they reminisce about block parties! They get into talking about Sonny. Dante hates him but can admit that Sonny can be "nice".
He's not nice now when he gives Max the order to burn Johnny's stuff. Olivia barges in and tells Sonny to stop before he does something he'll regret. That would require a conscience, Olivia.
Nik and Lucky continue to have their little Cassadine/Spencer war. It almost comes to blows and Lucky finally lets it all out on Nikolas about how he cheated with Elizabeth. He compares him to his father who kidnapped Laura and forced her to bore his child. Nikolas responds with, "don't talk about fathers who commit rape. That's one fight you can't win." Duuuuude.
Gosh, they get a lot of visitors. Next on the list is Sam, visiting Jason. She tells him that she applied for a conjugal visit but she was denied because they're not married.
Lulu approaches Carly about Brook Lynn.
Dante and Brook continue to cook and to talk about cooking and Sonny and she even mentions Brenda.
Sonny and Olivia argue some more about Johnny. And of course he threatens Johnny's life again because that's what he does.

May 25 2010
Retread of Carly telling Lulu not to tell Dante about the abortion. She elaborates by talking about Olivia and her choice. Lulu thinks she should tell Dante the truth.
Brook continues to promote ABC's parent company by singing "When You Wish Upon a Star". That cricket is turning over in his grave. Johnny wants to know who she is.
Liz apologizes for just stopping by to vent but she says tells Lucky she needs him more than ever.
Michael returns to his prison cell and has trouble sitting down. You'll get used to it, Mikey. He asks Jason how it went with Sonny.
Credits: Someone said yesterday that Matt and Epiphany were taken out of the credits for Lisa and Steven. I was all set to comment on this but either they were lying, or it was changed back the next day. Good thing too, because Matt finally got a story line!
Jason assures Michael that he didn't say anything to Sonny. Michael perpetuates the lie that a guard beat him...which I guess is half true. He's also upset to learn that he's messing up Jason's personal life and his business. Jason doesn't regret his decision.
Brook reunites with Dante. She tells him that Lois is touring Europe and living in London. Maxie moves in to tell this bitch to back off on Lulu's behalf but Dante says it's ok because Brook is an old friend. Maxie admits to knowing Brook Lynn and informs Dante that she used to live in Port Charles. Johnny joins the party and Maxie tells everyone that Brook is a Quartermaine. Now that captain exposition has reared his ugly head, can we get going with the plot? Maya is next to join the gang and tells Brook Lynn that they're related. I guess not.
Carly argues against Lulu telling Dante the truth although she claims it's Lulu's decision. Lulu says she'll play it by ear and goes off to Jake's.
Liz talks about how awful Nikolas has been acting. Lucky sympathizes but he says he won't get involved. She wonders if he even cares if she moved to Wyndemere.
Still kidnapped? Tracy. Oh yeah! Skye comes to the haunted star to tell Luke she has news about Tracy. Edward found out that Fiji was a lie. Luke figures out that Tracy has been kidnapped and knows exactly who it is.
Tracy is still wearing the same clothes in her little cell. Helena thinks Luke just doesn't even want to find Tracy. They reference the Wizard of Oz too many times in one minute for my tastes and then Helena finally threatens to kill Tracy if Luke doesn't show up soon.
Luke doesn't know how he could have missed the obvious clues. Skye is pleasantly surprised at how much Luke loves Tracy.
Helena and Tracy snark and banter.
Lucky tries not to care about Elizabeth moving to Wyndemere. She's surprised that he's so laid back about it knowing she would never move to Wyndemere. He says it's up to her.
Lulu comes to Jake's and reunites with Brook. Dante is surprised that they know each other. Lulu likes the idea but Maxie doesn't. Brook feigns that she didn't know about Dante and Lulu's relationship. She jokes that she has tons of dirt on Dante.
Reunion at Jake's: Lulu, Dante and Brook all joke around about Dante's cheesy pick-up lines and how they got together. He tells Brook about Sonny being his father. She again feigns surprise. She then jokes about Lulu stealing Dillon from Georgie. Dante is glad to hear about the dirt but Lulu drags him away. Alone, Brook gets a drink to which Johnny saddles up and pays for. Olivia joins them, surprised to see Brook. She puts her arm around Johnny and it's Brook's turn to really be surprised.
Metro-Court bar: Claire joins Jax. They talk about Jason being in jail. I don't like Jax's new buzzed head. She wonders if Jax has had any luck getting through to higher powers regarding Michael. He hasn't. However, he was "told" that if Sonny goes to prison, it will pave way for Michael's release.
Jason asks Michael about the "schedule" in Pentonville. Michael tells him all about the rigorous schedule. Jason wonders about free time. Michael's voice beings to waver as he tells Jason about the cell doors being open for a while after dinner and then once they're shut, "Nobody's supposed to be able to get in".
To Elizabeth's chagrin, Nikolas is sitting in her house. He's upset because Elizabeth was kicked at work by a guy having a seizure. I'm surprised this is the first time she's been kicked. They continue to argue about it.
Claire visits Lucky. She apologizes about her meltdown in the park. He doesn't think there's anything to be sorry about but she assures him that it won't happen again. Getting to the point, she tells him that she wants to build a case against Sonny that will stick this time. He thinks she's ambitious which she takes as a compliment. She wants his help.
Carly stops by the Metro-Court bar where Jax is still drinking. He tells her about Claire and Jason and Morgan's adoption. He wants to know what happens next. She says after he becomes Morgan's legal father, they move on with their divorce.
Lucky keeps crossing his legs like a lady. Anyway, Claire wonders about some cases involving Jason and Sonny. She noticed that he's excused himself from some cases citing "conflict of interest". He says it's personal. She says that's ok, but she wants to know if this "conflict" will stop him from going after Sonny. He says it won't but he doesn't want it to be part of a personal vendetta.
Jason talks about how he wanted/wants a better life for Michael. (too late) He doesn't think Michael's prepared to be in prison. He wants to teach Michael how to defend himself. (too late) They plan to start tomorrow.
The Catholic Italians boozing it up at Jake's talk about not messing with God etc until Maxie drags Brook Lynn away. On the other side of Jake's, Maya assumes Ethan is now in the mob. She thinks he's an idiot and wonders why he would be involved in "all that crap". Asked and answered. He says he likes living on the edge and it pays a lot. Maya excuses herself. She ain't playin'.
Brook asks Maxie if Johnny and Olivia are really dating each other. Maxie gives her attitude about the whole thing.
Dante is happy to bring Lulu home but she has other things on her mind. He talks about how crazy it was seeing Brook. He knows something is going on with Lulu and wants to know what. She says what she has to tell him is hard. He tells her that nothing she says is going to change his opinion of her. Just wait... She starts to tell him about Dillon and getting pregnant and finally about the abortion.
Nik and Elizabeth? Still fighting. And it's not that it's not interesting. I like the dynamic of these two actors fighting, it's just that there's nothing really new. After telling him that she's going to raise the baby herself, she kicks him out for the second time this week. (night?) He then threatens her that the "days of ordering [him] around are over".
Claire is offended by Lucky's insinuation thinking he was bringing up the baby meltdown again. She calms down when he explains that he was just talking about Sonny. He goes on to talk about this forcefield (Guza) around Sonny that's hard to penetrate. He warns her about losing her soul going after Sonny. She insists that it won't happen to her. Famous last words. They finally make a deal to work together.
Jason gives Michael his pillow to help him sleep. Then he tells Michael that they'll be warmer if they sleep in the same bed. Body heat, ya know? Kidding! Lights out!
Lulu continues to ramble about abortions and Olivia and Dante. Dante says it makes him love her and respect her even more. He goes on to tell her that he won't judge her for making a difficult decision. Right answer, Dante. That's my boy.
Brook reports to Carly. She tells him about everything and thinks it's going to take really long to convert Dante into a cheater. Carly, in turn, gives her all the incentive she needs including a 50 thousand bonus check if she gets it on video. I seriously need to move to Port Charles if these people are throwing all this money around.

Jason assures Michael that he didn't say anything to Sonny. Michael perpetuates the lie that a guard beat him...which I guess is half true. He's also upset to learn that he's messing up Jason's personal life and his business. Jason doesn't regret his decision.
Brook reunites with Dante. She tells him that Lois is touring Europe and living in London. Maxie moves in to tell this bitch to back off on Lulu's behalf but Dante says it's ok because Brook is an old friend. Maxie admits to knowing Brook Lynn and informs Dante that she used to live in Port Charles. Johnny joins the party and Maxie tells everyone that Brook is a Quartermaine. Now that captain exposition has reared his ugly head, can we get going with the plot? Maya is next to join the gang and tells Brook Lynn that they're related. I guess not.
Carly argues against Lulu telling Dante the truth although she claims it's Lulu's decision. Lulu says she'll play it by ear and goes off to Jake's.
Liz talks about how awful Nikolas has been acting. Lucky sympathizes but he says he won't get involved. She wonders if he even cares if she moved to Wyndemere.
Still kidnapped? Tracy. Oh yeah! Skye comes to the haunted star to tell Luke she has news about Tracy. Edward found out that Fiji was a lie. Luke figures out that Tracy has been kidnapped and knows exactly who it is.
Tracy is still wearing the same clothes in her little cell. Helena thinks Luke just doesn't even want to find Tracy. They reference the Wizard of Oz too many times in one minute for my tastes and then Helena finally threatens to kill Tracy if Luke doesn't show up soon.
Luke doesn't know how he could have missed the obvious clues. Skye is pleasantly surprised at how much Luke loves Tracy.
Helena and Tracy snark and banter.
Lucky tries not to care about Elizabeth moving to Wyndemere. She's surprised that he's so laid back about it knowing she would never move to Wyndemere. He says it's up to her.
Lulu comes to Jake's and reunites with Brook. Dante is surprised that they know each other. Lulu likes the idea but Maxie doesn't. Brook feigns that she didn't know about Dante and Lulu's relationship. She jokes that she has tons of dirt on Dante.
Reunion at Jake's: Lulu, Dante and Brook all joke around about Dante's cheesy pick-up lines and how they got together. He tells Brook about Sonny being his father. She again feigns surprise. She then jokes about Lulu stealing Dillon from Georgie. Dante is glad to hear about the dirt but Lulu drags him away. Alone, Brook gets a drink to which Johnny saddles up and pays for. Olivia joins them, surprised to see Brook. She puts her arm around Johnny and it's Brook's turn to really be surprised.
Metro-Court bar: Claire joins Jax. They talk about Jason being in jail. I don't like Jax's new buzzed head. She wonders if Jax has had any luck getting through to higher powers regarding Michael. He hasn't. However, he was "told" that if Sonny goes to prison, it will pave way for Michael's release.
Jason asks Michael about the "schedule" in Pentonville. Michael tells him all about the rigorous schedule. Jason wonders about free time. Michael's voice beings to waver as he tells Jason about the cell doors being open for a while after dinner and then once they're shut, "Nobody's supposed to be able to get in".
To Elizabeth's chagrin, Nikolas is sitting in her house. He's upset because Elizabeth was kicked at work by a guy having a seizure. I'm surprised this is the first time she's been kicked. They continue to argue about it.
Claire visits Lucky. She apologizes about her meltdown in the park. He doesn't think there's anything to be sorry about but she assures him that it won't happen again. Getting to the point, she tells him that she wants to build a case against Sonny that will stick this time. He thinks she's ambitious which she takes as a compliment. She wants his help.
Carly stops by the Metro-Court bar where Jax is still drinking. He tells her about Claire and Jason and Morgan's adoption. He wants to know what happens next. She says after he becomes Morgan's legal father, they move on with their divorce.
Lucky keeps crossing his legs like a lady. Anyway, Claire wonders about some cases involving Jason and Sonny. She noticed that he's excused himself from some cases citing "conflict of interest". He says it's personal. She says that's ok, but she wants to know if this "conflict" will stop him from going after Sonny. He says it won't but he doesn't want it to be part of a personal vendetta.
Jason talks about how he wanted/wants a better life for Michael. (too late) He doesn't think Michael's prepared to be in prison. He wants to teach Michael how to defend himself. (too late) They plan to start tomorrow.
The Catholic Italians boozing it up at Jake's talk about not messing with God etc until Maxie drags Brook Lynn away. On the other side of Jake's, Maya assumes Ethan is now in the mob. She thinks he's an idiot and wonders why he would be involved in "all that crap". Asked and answered. He says he likes living on the edge and it pays a lot. Maya excuses herself. She ain't playin'.
Brook asks Maxie if Johnny and Olivia are really dating each other. Maxie gives her attitude about the whole thing.
Dante is happy to bring Lulu home but she has other things on her mind. He talks about how crazy it was seeing Brook. He knows something is going on with Lulu and wants to know what. She says what she has to tell him is hard. He tells her that nothing she says is going to change his opinion of her. Just wait... She starts to tell him about Dillon and getting pregnant and finally about the abortion.
Nik and Elizabeth? Still fighting. And it's not that it's not interesting. I like the dynamic of these two actors fighting, it's just that there's nothing really new. After telling him that she's going to raise the baby herself, she kicks him out for the second time this week. (night?) He then threatens her that the "days of ordering [him] around are over".
Claire is offended by Lucky's insinuation thinking he was bringing up the baby meltdown again. She calms down when he explains that he was just talking about Sonny. He goes on to talk about this forcefield (Guza) around Sonny that's hard to penetrate. He warns her about losing her soul going after Sonny. She insists that it won't happen to her. Famous last words. They finally make a deal to work together.
Jason gives Michael his pillow to help him sleep. Then he tells Michael that they'll be warmer if they sleep in the same bed. Body heat, ya know? Kidding! Lights out!
Lulu continues to ramble about abortions and Olivia and Dante. Dante says it makes him love her and respect her even more. He goes on to tell her that he won't judge her for making a difficult decision. Right answer, Dante. That's my boy.
Brook reports to Carly. She tells him about everything and thinks it's going to take really long to convert Dante into a cheater. Carly, in turn, gives her all the incentive she needs including a 50 thousand bonus check if she gets it on video. I seriously need to move to Port Charles if these people are throwing all this money around.

May 24 2010
NYC is a large place; How did Carly find Brook Lynn? Who cares. OK - Carly is trying to convince Brook to take money in exchange for helping her. Brook sidesteps but you know she's going to take the deal. She reminds us that she doesn't get her trust fund money until she's 30 and her parents aren't exactly thrilled with her. I wonder if Lois and Ned are back together. Brook wants Carly to get to the point. Carly mentions Dante.
Also sidestepping? Lulu. She claims she's busy with work. Dante thinks Lulu is all frazzled because of Michael. She talks about secrets and the "right time to tell them".
Sonny picks up his phone as instructed by Johnny. He gets some bad news. Johnny mentions some Italian names who are working with him now. Sonny makes an empty threat about killing Johnny.
Jason enters Michael's cell. Michael looks like Liz did on Valentine's day years before. He's totally shellshocked. Don't worry, Mikey - it usually only hurts the first time. Jason tries to get through to him.
Credits: I can't make fun of Matt anymore since he appeared twice in one week so... Monica, "Hey remember me? I'm a veteran!"
At the hospital, Lucky runs into Maya who is on her way out. He asks if she's seen Elizabeth. He was supposed to take the kids home but apparently Liz took them home.
At Liz's house, the kids are running rampant while Elizabeth has a headache. Nikolas is at the door. She forgot her ultra-sound appointment. Nikolas takes it personally for some reason.
Brook recounts the Falconeri/Cerillo connections. Yeah they all knew each other. Carly tells Brook about Sonny being Dante's father. She's surprised but enjoys the gossip.
Sonny holds the gun on Johnny but has no intention of using it. Johnny is just as smug. They both threaten each other and it's so boring. Sonny hides his gun as Ethan and Claire run in. Sonny is pissed at Max for being a bad bodyguard. Claire wants to know what she's doing there. Johnny says he wants to report an attempted murder. His. Points for creativity, Johnny but it's just so stupid. Any court would see that it's a set up.
Jason tries to talk Michael out of the shellshock but has no idea what happened. Right now he just thinks that Michael has been beaten up a little. Michael just rocks back and forth. Jason tries to distract him with other talk. Talk about the beach on the island snaps Michael out of it a little. And no, they're not talking about the final episode of Lost.
Johnny tells Claire that Sonny was holding a gun on him but the gun has already been hidden. He blames Ethan for being late. Claire asks Sonny if he really wants to be on trial for murder so soon after his last trial. Sonny blames Claire for Michael's conviction because he's a hypocritical dick. Sonny kicks everyone out but Claire stays. Sonny snarks that she's working for Johnny. She says she has probable cause to search the place because of what took place and reminds him that she heard him talk about killing Ethan. He tells her to go ahead and says he's going to visit Michael, whose conviction he again blames on Claire because he's a hypocritical dick.
Jason still thinks Michael was just hit and interrogates him about it. Michael doesn't want to talk about it. When Jason goes to touch him, Michael flinches. He blames himself for Jason being in there. Maybe Michael owes him a lil' somethin' somethin'. Hey, it's not rape if it's consensual.
Brook realizes that Carly wants her to go up to Port Charles to sleep with Dante. After she protests that she's not a hooker, Brook finalizes the deal by getting free room and board at the Metro-Court, unlimited spa and room service access. Also? She wants to sing there. I'm getting my plane ticket....now. Where is this magical place called Port Charles where people pay you big bucks to sleep with hot men?
Dante isn't sure what's going on but he wants to skip the argument and make up. Lulu doesn't think he has anything to be sorry about. They rehash the whole Michael decision and I'm bored. Phone! It's Claire. She wants Dante to come to Sonny's. Dante leaves with plans to get a drink with Lulu later at Jake's.
Nikolas doesn't think the baby is Liz's priority. Liz doesn't think that's fair. Lucky shows up and Liz realizes that it's his night with the kids. She's sorry that it slipped her mind. Lucky takes them away. Nik starts to fight again. Nik thinks two kids, being pregnant and a full time job is too much for her and wants to know what she's going to do about it.
It's Matt! Maxie shows up to Jake's with an awful haircut. She feigns that she's there to meet him as a friend.
Johnny and Ethan arrive at Jake's all happy with themselves and order shots to celebrate. Ethan turns and bumps into Maya causing her to spill her beer all over herself.
Claire tells Dante about what happened with Johnny and Sonny. She wants his help to search the house.
Michael wants to know about home. Jason tells him a little about Kristina. They talk about Carly and Dante. Jason admits that he hates Dante. Michael asks Jason not to tell anybody about how he was when he first arrived - all shellshocked and stuff. Jason talks about Brenda and how when he didn't talk, it drove her crazy. He says sometimes he didn't talk just to annoy her. HA! The guard comes over to tell Michael his dad is there.
In the visiting room, Sonny wants to know right away who hit him. Sonny says that Jason will be there to protect him. Michael wants Sonny to know that he's not as weak as Sonny thinks he is.
Elizabeth blames the hormones. Nik thinks she's doing too much. They fight and argue and... He wants her to live at Wyndemere and not work. She says she'll never move to Wyndemere.
Dante makes excuses about not searching the house. Claire thinks Dante is just protecting his father and can't even admit that Sonny shot him. He finally admits it to Claire's surprise and amusement but she says it doesn't do them any good now. It doesn't? Is the statute of limitations 3 months for attempted murder?! Why doesn't she go and arrest Sonny right now? He self-flagellates, she snarks. Did I mention I love Claire?
"Warden Powell" comes to visit Jason. He says he was wary about assigning Michael and Jason as cellmates but he went along with it...although he doesn't say why. He tells Jason that if he gets into any fights, he'll put Jason in solitary for the rest of his term and Michael will get another cellmate. Jason agrees but has a request.
Sonny wants to be all protective dad. (too late) He infers that Michael got beat up because of him. Michael insists he'll be fine. Sonny says he's trying to get him released and tells him to stay out of trouble.
Ethan tries to clean Maya up and accidently cops a feel. Maya takes over. He says he found a new lucrative job and will buy her a new shirt.
Matt and Maxie talk about Milan. She's impressed that he knows so much. She excuses herself to say hi to Johnny. Johnny wonders where Spinelli is. She tells him he's all depressed. Maxie tells Johnny of her plan to rile Spinelli up. Oops, Matt overhears, gets mad and leaves.
Nik and Liz fight some more. He brings up the past. She regrets that they ever slept together and she says she regrets that he's the baby daddy. He threatens that that's the worst thing she could have said to him. She finally kicks him out.
Michael comes back to his cell. A guard takes Michael away and the other guard tells Jason he has a visitor too. He's brought to see Sonny. Sonny makes his second death threat of the episode. Seriously, Sonny? Stop with all the fucking death threats. Who in Port Charles hasn't Sonny threatened?
Liz goes to visit Lucky. She tells him all about Nikolas.
Sonny, "I appreciate what you're doing...but you left me in a hell of a mess." For fucking seriously? Jason is in fucking jail and you're going to make a....oh for... I can't. I quit! I fucking quit. Breathe in. Breathe out. And I'm back. Sonny tells Jason about Johnny and Ethan and Claire. Sonny makes plans to crush Johnny.
Michael is with the prison doc.
Mode Lite! Carly rushes in to see Lulu. She says she's changed her mind and doesn't think Lulu should tell Dante about the abortion.
Dante arrives at Jake's to hear Brook Lynn singing "When you wish upon a star". Thanks, Disney. Yes, we all know ABC is owned by Disney.
Fuckers.

May 21 2010
OMG, y'all. I'm so sorry. My recaps have been few and far between lately and I apologize to my hundreds....let's make that tens of readers. :) This week I've been doing 12 hour days on "Rescue Me". Relax, I was just an extra. Extra work sucks - it's hours of sitting on your ass. Very much a "hurry up and wait" mentality. So yesterday I watched four episodes of GH in a row. Anyway I'm back now - so here we go -
We start with Olivia trying to get out of an awkward dinner/conversation with Sonny. She knows how this usually goes: They anecdote about something stupid and inevitably Sonny says something stupid about Dante that pisses her off.
Carly recognizes Brook Lyn in a picture with her arm around Dante. She tells Spinelli about Ned and Lois....except she pronounces Lois' last name as Cerilla...instead of Cerillo. She ponders how she can use this info. Why is Dante's picture all over the internet when he's an undercover cop? And more importantly, why didn't Spinelli find this before...when he was still undercover? And most importantly, why can't Carly use google like everyone else?
Mayor McCheesey doesn't want Jason sent to Pentonville for some reason. He pretty much knows the little plan. Dante comes in and wants to know what's going on.
Prisoner McRapist tells Michael that the rules change in prison. He gets closer explaining those rules, going as far as touching Michael's face. When Michael doesn't react how he wants, Prisoner McRapist pushes him against the wall and tells him Pentonville is about surviving.
Credits: Matt: "Dude - you missed me. I was on yesterday!"
Everyone argues against the Mayor. The Mayor wants to get Jason for something that will lead to more jail time. The Mayor tells Jason he's going to be spending time at the PCPD for a while. This make Jason angry. Jason smash. The mayor leaves all self-satisfied. Sam thinks Michael will be fine for now.
Prisoner McRapist tries to hit that, but Michael punches him and tries to run away. Prisoner Rapist wants to know where he's supposed to escape to. He leaves saying he'll be repaid his debt. Why is he leaving, then?
For some reason, Olivia hasn't left. They do as she said in the beginning and reminisce and anecdote and intentionally try to bore me.
Mode Lite: Maxie reminds Lulu how the town hates her. She thinks Lulu shouldn't tell Dante about the abortion. Lulu knows that secrets always come out...also, they create walls. Or something.
Carly wants to know everything about Brook Lyn. She also wants to know why the water in Brooklyn seems to make dimples in all the people.
Maxie looks way too skinny. She tells Lulu to tell Dante about the abortion in a public place. Maxie shows Lulu some dresses for her fake date with Matt...who enters through the elevator. MATT! Two days in a row! Lulu drags Maxie to talk to her privately. Lulu thinks it's a bad idea because she's the smart one. Maxie likes "plans" and thinks this will work.
Spinelli talks about Ned, Lois (he says her last name right) and Brook Lyn's whereabouts. And apparently Brook's been a bad girl. Also, she doesn't get her trust fund from Grandpa Quartermaine until she becomes 30. This gives Carly an idea for a plan.
Dante tells Jason he'll talk to the mayor and goes off. Jason thinks he's just going to mess it up. Outside, the Mayor tells Dante that Jason won't be going to Pentonville yet. Dante takes this opportunity to blackmail the Mayor. So much for the law, Dante. Mayor McCheesey has been seeing hookers. Dante goes back into the interrogation room to tell Jason that the guard is on his way.
Matt's wondering if this is a date. Maxie says it's not a date; she just needed an escort. He impresses her with his museum and fashion and New York knowledge. She's intrigued... Is it too soon for Lulu to say, "I told you so"?
Jason worries he's taking Sam for granted. She says she'll be strong. He hugs her by putting his handcuffed hands over her head. Romantic! The guard comes in to take him away. Sam goes out and cries.
Lulu comes to see Spinelli. He graciously lets her in. He talks about his bleak future without his sugar daddy. He understands why she made the decision she did.
Dante comes to the Metro Court to see his mom and dad eating together. Olivia thinks it'll end with her dessert in his face. Dante comes to join them. He snarks at Sonny and his mom: "I wonder what slop they're serving Michael at Pentonville while you're stuffing your faces with this good food". Why you attacking your momma, boy?
It's lock-down and Michael warily goes into his cell. Prisoner McRapist looms by.
Maxie continues to be impressed by Matt when he tells her how he hurt his wrist: He wrestled some guy away from his dog that the guy abused. All that and an animal lover! He wants to take her to Jake's unless "Spinelli will blow a gasket". She says that Spinelli trusts her. Should he? Matt is glad to have a date.
Lulu argues on Dante's behalf. Spinelli is worried about Jason.
Dante chides his mom for eating with Sonny. Sonny tries to be all heroic and tell Dante not to talk to his mom like that, but Dante cuts him off with "I'll get to you in a minute." Nice. He continues with his mom telling her that Sonny is using her to get to him. He then redirects his anger to Sonny telling him that he should be feeling like crap because he got his son in prison. Sonny says it's just dinner. Dante knows it's not. He storms off.
Hey, it's Brook Lyn! Carly enjoys watching her manipulate a hot dog man into giving her a free food and money for the subway. Carly makes her presence known.
Michael wants to do his time in peace! Prisoner McRapist laughs because he has the box set of Oz in his cell. Michael's cell door closes before Prisoner McRapist can live up to his name.
Carly pays the hot dog man and brings Brook away. Brook is not happy to see Carly who tells her she's in the "neighborhood" looking for her.
Dante tells Lulu all about what happened with Mayor McCheesey and Jason and then about Sonny and his mom.
Sonny doesn't think Dante should affect Olivia's mood. She's concerned about seeing this side of Dante and claims he's never been like that. Sonny dips into his fantasy world for a bit and Olivia calls him on it.
Sam gets back to Jason's apartment and cries. Spinelli comes and comforts her.
Michael lies in his cell. Prisoner McRapist finds his way in. He wants some pretty boy tail tonight. I wonder if this is the real reason Drew Garrett left. It makes more sense than "we wanted to go in a different direction."
Carly wonders why Brook has gone all juvie. She offers Brook cash to do her bidding.
Dante's still all upset about his mom and Sonny having dinner. He talks more about his mom's courage of having a kid at 15. Lulu doesn't like where the conversation is going. He sense something is wrong.
Sonny comes home to find Johnny waiting for him. Sonny says he can shoot Johnny for trespassing. The phone rings. Johnny tells Sonny that it's Bernie with bad news.
Jason gets escorted into prison.
Back in the cell, Mayor McRapist is all talk and no action. He tells Michael again that it's time to pay up. Dude - less talking, more screwing. That's my motto, at least.

Two days in a row! Lulu drags Maxie to talk to her privately. Lulu thinks it's a bad idea because she's the smart one. Maxie likes "plans" and thinks this will work.
Spinelli talks about Ned, Lois (he says her last name right) and Brook Lyn's whereabouts. And apparently Brook's been a bad girl. Also, she doesn't get her trust fund from Grandpa Quartermaine until she becomes 30. This gives Carly an idea for a plan.
Dante tells Jason he'll talk to the mayor and goes off. Jason thinks he's just going to mess it up. Outside, the Mayor tells Dante that Jason won't be going to Pentonville yet. Dante takes this opportunity to blackmail the Mayor. So much for the law, Dante. Mayor McCheesey has been seeing hookers. Dante goes back into the interrogation room to tell Jason that the guard is on his way.
Matt's wondering if this is a date. Maxie says it's not a date; she just needed an escort. He impresses her with his museum and fashion and New York knowledge. She's intrigued... Is it too soon for Lulu to say, "I told you so"?
Jason worries he's taking Sam for granted. She says she'll be strong. He hugs her by putting his handcuffed hands over her head. Romantic! The guard comes in to take him away. Sam goes out and cries.
Lulu comes to see Spinelli. He graciously lets her in. He talks about his bleak future without his sugar daddy. He understands why she made the decision she did.
Dante comes to the Metro Court to see his mom and dad eating together. Olivia thinks it'll end with her dessert in his face. Dante comes to join them. He snarks at Sonny and his mom: "I wonder what slop they're serving Michael at Pentonville while you're stuffing your faces with this good food". Why you attacking your momma, boy?
It's lock-down and Michael warily goes into his cell. Prisoner McRapist looms by.
Maxie continues to be impressed by Matt when he tells her how he hurt his wrist: He wrestled some guy away from his dog that the guy abused. All that and an animal lover! He wants to take her to Jake's unless "Spinelli will blow a gasket". She says that Spinelli trusts her. Should he? Matt is glad to have a date.
Lulu argues on Dante's behalf. Spinelli is worried about Jason.
Dante chides his mom for eating with Sonny. Sonny tries to be all heroic and tell Dante not to talk to his mom like that, but Dante cuts him off with "I'll get to you in a minute." Nice. He continues with his mom telling her that Sonny is using her to get to him. He then redirects his anger to Sonny telling him that he should be feeling like crap because he got his son in prison. Sonny says it's just dinner. Dante knows it's not. He storms off.
Hey, it's Brook Lyn! Carly enjoys watching her manipulate a hot dog man into giving her a free food and money for the subway. Carly makes her presence known.
Michael wants to do his time in peace! Prisoner McRapist laughs because he has the box set of Oz in his cell. Michael's cell door closes before Prisoner McRapist can live up to his name.
Carly pays the hot dog man and brings Brook away. Brook is not happy to see Carly who tells her she's in the "neighborhood" looking for her.
Dante tells Lulu all about what happened with Mayor McCheesey and Jason and then about Sonny and his mom.
Sonny doesn't think Dante should affect Olivia's mood. She's concerned about seeing this side of Dante and claims he's never been like that. Sonny dips into his fantasy world for a bit and Olivia calls him on it.
Sam gets back to Jason's apartment and cries. Spinelli comes and comforts her.
Michael lies in his cell. Prisoner McRapist finds his way in. He wants some pretty boy tail tonight. I wonder if this is the real reason Drew Garrett left. It makes more sense than "we wanted to go in a different direction."
Carly wonders why Brook has gone all juvie. She offers Brook cash to do her bidding.
Dante's still all upset about his mom and Sonny having dinner. He talks more about his mom's courage of having a kid at 15. Lulu doesn't like where the conversation is going. He sense something is wrong.
Sonny comes home to find Johnny waiting for him. Sonny says he can shoot Johnny for trespassing. The phone rings. Johnny tells Sonny that it's Bernie with bad news.
Jason gets escorted into prison.
Back in the cell, Mayor McRapist is all talk and no action. He tells Michael again that it's time to pay up. Dude - less talking, more screwing. That's my motto, at least.

May 14 2010
Wow, I'm back! It's been a while since I've done a recap so let's go!
Morgan and Sonny have a talk about Dante. Morgan wonders if Sonny hates Dante now because Morgan sure seems to. Sonny tries to defend his eldest. Sonny tells Morgan he's going to stay away from him for a while although he promises to take all his kids to a Yankee game some day. Because that's what matters. Morgan doesn't want his dad to make any promises he can't keep.
Jax wants to make sure he heard Carly right about adopting Morgan. He wonders if that means she wants to stay married.
Dante's trying to look up something at the PCPD to see if he can get Michael off. He runs ideas by Lucky. Lucky doesn't think Michael's sentence is that bad for manslaughter but still wants to help get Michael out.
Claire tries to understand Jason's little plan. She wonders if he's though this through since it will be hard to get him out.
Credits: Matt: Will I be on today? Please! Please!?
Morgan, blah blah blah Yankees. He sounds defeated. And he seems to be really pissed at Dante. Morgan says he understands when Sonny says it's best he stays away from him for a while but his voice totally breaks. Morgan cries as Sonny tries to rationalize. Morgan is kinda confused by Sonny's wishy-washy attitude. He stays away, he's here, he stays away. Sonny promises that they will go to a Yankee game. Because that's what matters.
Carly tells Jax that the marriage is over. She just wants him to be there for Morgan.
Claire argues the cons of Jason going to prison while Jason begs her to arrest him. Everything she says pretty much makes sense: He has enemies at Pentonville; he may not be able to get out once he's in; and many people who care about Michael are working on an appeal. But Jason? Nah - the justice system has to bend to his rules.
New set! Pentonville yard: Michael stands scared while all the prisoners work out and one eyes him like he's fresh meat. A guard comes over and harasses him. He doesn't like that Michael's a rich boy. Also, his brother was in the hospital because of Sonny. Possible Rapist approaches Michael and offers him a smoke. Possible Rapist tells Michael to stick with him.
Lucky and Dante continue to try to figure out how to set Michael free when Judge Carrol enters. He compliments Dante and insults Lucky.
Dante asks the judge to reconsider Michael's sentence. The judge refuses. He thinks it'll teach Michael not to follow in his father's footsteps. Lucky argues that Michael isn't a criminal but the Judge (and I) think he is...or at least has the potential to be one. After the Judge leaves, Lucky wants to find "dirty laundry" on the Judge.
Jason begs Claire some more. Claire rightfully points out that this whole thing could have been avoided had they not all covered the murder up. But...she agrees to help Jason out because it will help her career. How? They both agree that the other is doing the right thing.
Jax tells Carly to think about it before doing something drastic. But Carly is all about being drastic; making big decisions without thinking. Jax finally agrees.
Diane and Alexis discuss Alexis' woes. Diane is worried about what RoadKill's parents will do. They both think the Bauers will go after Kristina. Kristina walks in and overhears Alexis say the word 'trial' and immediately freaks out like only Kristina can do. Why did we not see any of the criminal trial?? I guess we were overloaded with Sonny's trial.
Diane explains the "wrongful death" suit that the Bauers plan to bring against Alexis. She warns Kristina that she may be called to the stand. Kristina whinges and whines and moans and cries and freaks out because that's all she knows how to do. Get a fucking spine, Kristina. She runs off. Diane tells Alexis not to go after Kristina because she needs to process all she just heard.
Jason comes to the PCPD and asks to see Lucky privately. Lucky apologizes for not letting Michael go with him when he had the chance. Jason tells him it's not his fault. He informs Lucky that he's going to prison.
Lulu brings Dante coffee. Dante tells her that Jason took Lucky into the interrogation room. Lulu thinks Jason is trying to turn Lucky against Dante.
Morgan tells Sonny about his karate stuff and Sonny tries not to look bored and then Carly comes in. He tells Carly why he's there: He wanted to explain to Morgan that he'll be staying away for a while to keep him safe but it won't be forever. So why now? Why not later? Will Sonny's life get less dangerous later? Or will Sonny just not care if Morgan is safe later? This whole thing stinks of self-absorbed guilt which is nothing new from Sonny. I really shouldn't be surprised. Carly asks to talk to Sonny alone for a few. He hugs his dad good-bye (just for a while!) and goes off upstairs. Carly makes it clear that she doesn't want Sonny to see Morgan at all; to cut all ties. She tells Sonny about asking Jax to adopt Morgan.
Kristina comes to cousin Nikolas to ask for help. She tells him about the case and that she might be put on the stand. Why wasn't she put on the stand at the criminal case? Nikolas tells Kristina he can help.
Sonny and Carly argue about Jax adopting Morgan. They argue and argue and argue. She wants Morgan to grow up to be like Jax. Sonny says it's not going to happen.
Jason tells Lucky about what Claire is going to do. Lucky tells Jason about the possible blackmail.
Outside, Lulu and Dante talk about Jason.
Back inside, Jason thanks Lucky for being a dad to Jake. Jason says he'll be in prison within 24 hours.
Jason leaves. He's stopped by Lulu who wants to make sure that Dante is safe. Jason snarks at Lulu for defending her boyfriend instead of defending the family who cares about her. He stalks off. Dante wants to know what the hell is going on. Lucky tells him and adds, "which is a hell of a lot more then any of us are doing." Yeah - real fucking noble. And real fucking stupid. Want to help Michael? Stop being a fucking criminal.
Nikolas assures Kristina that he'll make sure it doesn't go to trial. Kristina is thankful because if she went to her dad, he would just kill them. NIkolas: "I take a different approach. I just make people wish they were dead." Hee. Can we have more of this Nikolas? He asks her how's she doing. She's getting better about understanding how wrong she was. Nik gets it because of what he did with Lucky and Elizabeth.
Lulu and Dante agree that Jason's plan might be good. He tells her that they're looking for dirt on Judge Carroll.
Jax is on the phone when Sonny busts in telling him that he can't have his son. Jax reminds Sonny that he signed away his rights to Morgan. They both think the other is the reason that Michael is where he is. Sonny threatens Jax...because that's what he does.
Carly tells Jason about the adoption. Jason tries not to judge. She tells him that they'll raise Morgan as divorced parents. Jason thinks it all goes back to him. He says asking Sonny to be Michael's father was the worst decision he ever made.
Lulu visits Luke. He's overjoyed to see her. She's glad he's not mad at her. She asks him if he has any dirt on Judge Carroll. He doesn't but he's happy that her kids are trying to blackmail a judge! Now that's good parenting!
Jax calls Sonny's bluff. Sonny, "You couldn't put me in prison. So now you're trying to steal my son." Because everything is about Sonny!! Jax tries to explain that it's about being a good parent. And now...Michael is in Pentonville because of Jax. God, I hate this guy. SO. MUCH. And...enter Dante.
The prisoners at Pentonville are called to line up. The guard yells at Michael for not knowing how to stand in a line. And seriously? Who walks over to the wall when all the other prisoners are standing in a line in the center... Are we sure he's not Jason's kid? The guard tells Michael he's going to be treated worse because of who his father is.
Carly is happy but skeptical that Jason is so accepting of her decision. Jason tells her about his plan to go to Pentonville. He tells her that he'll be with Michael 24 hours a day. Claire calls him - it's done - he has 5 years in Pentonville. She warns him that even if Michael gets out, he won't.
