Sorry so late!

Jason and Diane try to argue with Sonny that pleading self-defense would be the stupidest thing known to man. Their points are incredibly valid and coherent but Sonny is a stubborn asshole who wants to do things his way. They bring up that Carly and Sam's testimonies will be a lie on top of a lie but Sonny insists "they can swing it." He really is such an asshole. He's not only attempting to do something that will be difficult for him to do but he's burdening countless people, not to mention endangering their lives. Jason and Diane try one more time but Sonny angrily cuts them off. Because he's a dick.

Carly expects Dante to get out of law enforcement and help Sonny because she's a diluted cunt. What kills me about all of this - the whole Sonny and Carly self-entitled hypocrisy crap is that they're still considered the good-guys. The mobster and the mobster's ex-wife with hearts of gold. And it's pretty clear that Dante is in the right here but we all know who will win in the end because TPTB can't have their precious Sonny lose. It's really disgusting and makes me just want to stop watching this show.

Luke is at Wyndemere. He wants to know why no one told him Helena was back. Nik says this is not about a Cassadine/Spencer war. This is about him, Elizabeth and Lucky.

At Crazy's hospital room, Lucky still has a gun pointed at Helena. She takes it in stride knowing he has no power at Shadybrook. She laughs that Lucky is still playing the hero despite Elizabeth's trampiness and that he's still trying to protect her despite the fact that she's carrying the Cassadine heir.

New Credits Countdown: 4 days! (or...2 days from this post)

Helena tells Lucky that she should be relieved. She reiterates that Elizabeth is pregnant with Nikolas' baby. Lucky says that the baby could be his but Helena insists that it's possible but not probable since Nik and Liz have been sleeping together for months. Helena talks about their Elizabeth and Lucky's love being dead and brings up his drug using. Lucky says he'll take care of Elizabeth no matter what the paternity result is. Helena says Elizabeth will then just run into the arms of another "Mr. Wonderful". All the while, Lucky has a gun in her face and she doesn't even flinch. Nice. She finally leaves and Lucky comforts Crazy Girl.

Luke says that once Helena is involved, he joins in the fight. Nikolas thinks Luke feels guilt that he stopped looking for Lucky when he thought he was dead. Luke warns Nikolas not to mess with his family and leaves.

Johnny is talking on his cell making plans to take over Pier 52 when Maxie comes in with what looks like...a mullet? *shudder* She wants him to take a look at Kate's car because there is a 'ping'. Johnny tells Maxie that his garage is a front for what he really does and he's not going to hide it anymore. Isn't this the time where you really need to hide it?

Dante thinks Carly has "some nerve". As do I. Carly thinks it's all about lying to her kids. Dante explains he's a cop and puts criminals away and...I don't know why he has to explain that. Carly says that Claudia was a criminal and she's been brought to justice. She is so diluted but she has one valid point which is Dante didn't tell the cops that Sonny shot him. Dante says Michael and Morgan will be be better off. Carly: without a father? Dante says that Sonny takes fathers away from their kids every day. Carly gets desperate now saying that Sonny won't last in jail and begs him to lie. Olivia comes in and hears this last part and becomes momma bear again. She warns Carly not to tell her son to lie. Why not? They're all liars in this room. It's like a national past time.

Seriously, Maxie's hair looks horrible. Maxie still wants Johnny to fix Kate's car. Johnny explains his deal. Again, why is he telling Maxie all this? Shouldn't he start keeping things a bit confident? But Johnny seems to want to justify everything he's about to do. He wants to make Sonny pay for what he did to Claudia. Maxie tells him that people who cross Sonny don't have a very high life expectancy but if he's going to do this, he needs to be sneaky about it. Thank you, Maxie. Johnny insists that he's going to destroy Sonny.

Sonny/Jason. Blah blah blah blah blah. Same old arguments. Nothing changes. No one can convince Sonny of anything.

Olivia rips Carly a new one. They all bring up all the lies that everyone's told. And coulda woulda shoulda. Carly finally leaves. But then Dante says that Carly was right about one thing. "You want everyone to tell the truth but you still keep on lying."

Lulu catches Ethan stealing some cash from the safe at the Haunted Star but says it's ok; that Luke expects it. If only all jobs were like that. Ethan tells Lulu that Luke went to Wyndemere. She's been caught up with Dante so she hasn't heard the latest about Elizabeth being pregnant which Ethan gladly tells her. Lulu's expression: Awww shit.

Lucky tells Crazy that he'll keep Helena away from her. She says that Helena was right, that he has no obligation to her. He says he won't leave her alone and will do whatever it takes to keep her safe...because he's Lucky and he always does the noble thing. Whether it's stupid or not.

Olivia and Dante both agree that Carly has guts and wants to protect her kids but Olivia says she isn't going to help Carly's kids if it affects hers. Dante snarks that at least Carly never lied to her kids about what their dad does and Olivia goes apeshit rightfully saying, "And look how that turned out for everybody. Do you see what those kids have been through?" She lists the countless things that have happened to Sonny's kids. Dante: "At least Michael knew the truth". Olivia brings up the coma. She has no regrets keeping the secret. Dante hates that he had to grow up thinking his mom was a slut because she didn't know who his father was. He now thinks the reason she never had any boyfriends is because she's still in love with Sonny. She says she's in love with what Sonny used to be. She insists that she gave him a good life that wasn't surrounded by violence. He wonders if she wants him to tank the case. She just wants him to tell the truth on the stand. Like she did at the police station?

Lulu: 'Pregnant...huh...and I'm sure she doesn't know who the father is?" Ethan drops the other bomb that Elizabeth is in Shadybrook. Lulu isn't surprised and thinks she's in there so Lucky and Nikolas can 'save her'. She thinks Elizabeth will come out of it smelling like roses. Ethan wants to know how it's any of her concern and Lulu says that Elizabeth is tearing her family apart. Luke comes in, happy to see his daughter. Ethan leaves them alone. Lulu snarks to her dad about Elizabeth some but Luke steers the conversation back to Lulu's life. She tells him that Dante is recovering. He thinks that she should concentrate on that but she's worried about Lucky. Luke: It's all good.

Crazy wants to know why Lucky still loves her. He thinks he should have been listening more closely. They both blame themselves back and forth and it's sad and sweet and pathetic all rolled into one. He wants her to get better and says he won't turn his back on her now. She wants to know if he forgives her.

Carly is still at the hospital and runs into Jason. She tells him she was trying to talk to Dante. Jason: "Dante's a cop and you can't trust that guy." And that, ladies and gentleman sums up the fucked up General Hospital way of thinking. She thinks that Dante can be convinced. Jason is worried and Carly thinks it'll all be OK.

Helena is back at Wyndemere. Nikolas wonders if she's seen Luke yet but she hasn't. Nikolas says that Luke thinks the Spencers and the Cassadines are now at war and Helena laughs it off. He wants to know if that's why she's back, to brew things up between the families. She says she saw this all happening months ago. She's just glad that he has produced an heir.

Lucky avoids Crazy's question by talking about his addiction. He says everything is going to be fine and that they're still a family but he never actually says he forgives her. She hugs him and he hesitantly wraps his arms around her. She asks him again if he forgives her. He pauses for a moment and then finally says he does. But I don't believe it.

Helena finally visits Luke at the Haunted Star and it's like walking into the lion's den. Luke kinda takes it in stride reminding Helena of the three months he was held captured. Helena says it was all a misunderstanding. He thinks it was a mistake bringing her back from the island and says he's made a lot of mistakes when it comes to her. Helena says, "Almost...like being in love." Luke: "Almost." Hee. These two need to get it on. She brings up Lucky and he threatens that if she harms Lucky (which includes Elizabeth), he'll have to "end [their] cat and mouse game". She's totally turned on. She has no intention of harming Lucky and wants to make his life easier by claiming Elizabeth's child and leaving Lucky to be free. Luke wonders how much simpler life would be for everyone if he just snapped her neck. Helena: "Well, that's an option." She thinks they have nothing to fight about and they're on the same side. They drink to that.

Carly wants to know what happens to Jason if Sonny leaves the country. He says he'll have to take over and Dante will come after him.

Lulu finds Dante's bed empty.

Olivia goes to Sonny's to tell him to keep his people away from Sonny. Sonny isn't surprised by Carly's proposed plans. Olivia thinks Dante has suffered enough. Sonny, "Yeah he has - but not because of me. Because of you." Wow. He's got some gaul. He says she's lied to Dante from the start and needs to own that. Yep. It's all Olivia's fault that Sonny shot Dante. *sigh*

Shooting at Pier 52! Max and Milo behind the crates on the left and Johnny behind the crates on the right. And then Ethan walks in and it's all so surreal. He stops the shooting by talking. He tells Max and Milo that he's shooting at his "Zachara connection." Did that just happen?

Sonny: Boring Boring Nonsense. Olivia: "Are you freaking kidding me?". Sonny yells about not getting a chance to raise his son. Olivia doesn't regret a thing. Sonny starts crying.

Dante is out on the roof when Jason walks in. He came out there to get some fresh air but now hints that Jason could throw him off to shut him up for good.

Crazy rocks in her rocking chair. Nikolas knocks and comes in. She snarks that she's had too much company today. Nikolas goes to leave but Crazy tells him about Helena. She wants to know how Helena knows about the baby. They talk of regret and Nikolas says he's still in love with her.

Lucky is on the road, speeding. Maxie is also on the road in Kate's car blue-toothing to Kate. She takes her eyes off the road to check her cell phone. They both swerve off the road. DUN!
