Lulu visits a sickly looking Maxie. She tries to cheer up Maxie with some magazine gossip but Maxie catches on that Lulu is pretty scared. Maxie asks about Lulu's love life and guesses that Lulu and Dante haven't 'done it'.
Dante goes into the interrogation room to tell Ethan he's free. While Dante files the paperwork with Ethan, Luke goes out to thank an angry Alexis. She says it was Kristina's decision.

Sam and Keifer talk about Ethan while Kristina flashbacks and eventually starts having another fit.
Carly, Sonny and Jason agree about the importance of keeping Michael at the island. They also agree that it might be helpful to have Michael talk with Kristina regularly but Sonny doesn't want Kristina telling Michael about the trial. Jason tells him that Kristina already knows. As does Molly and Morgan. Jason talks about the night Michael came in to confess. Carly and Sonny are upset that Jason didn't tell them. Jason thinks too many people know.
Claire tells Johnny that she won't be calling him as a witness because the jury will see him as too emotional. They argue about Sonny and Claudia. She tells him that Dante was right about not putting Johnny on the stand but Johnny thinks that Dante is the one who can't be trusted.
Johnny thinks Dante's changed regarding putting Sonny away since he found out that Sonny was his father. Claire takes his warning about Dante under advisement but still won't put Johnny on the witness stand.
Alone now, Sonny and Carly discuss Luke and Ethan. Carly thinks Ethan represents Deke. Sonny says he wishes Deke were alive so he could send him to prison. Carly tries to hint about what Kristina may want. He continues to empathize with Kristina.

A tall red-headed funny guy named Conan greets Jason at Sonny's restaurant making stupid jokes that make me giggle a little. He's Bernie's nephew and is really nervous to work there. Jason makes him feel welcome and it's really funny when Jason stares up at him. Conan greets his first guest, Lucky who tells him he's there to see Jason. Lucky tells Jason about Cam and Jake. Jason really only cares about Jake, Lucky.
Tracy meets Luke and Ethan at the Haunted Star and they talk all about Kristina's case.
At the lake house, Sam tells Kristina that it's great that she went out. Alexis comes into the room and tells Kristina that they dropped the charges and Ethan has been released.
Dante schools Morgan about court. Morgan asks Dante again whether he wants to see Sonny go to jail. He doesn't get to answer because Sonny walks in. Funny how that always works. Don't want to answer a question? Just wait until someone comes in...or just cut to a commercial break. This will give you a great way to think of a vague segue.
Lucky tells Jason that Alexis got the charges dropped on Ethan. He wants Jason to make sure Sonny doesn't kill Ethan. Claire pops in and snarkily talks about the hangouts at Port Charles where cops and criminals can hang together. Lucky tells Claire briefly why he's there. After Lucky leaves, Claire gives Jason a list of questions that may be asked by the prosecution.
Sonny, Dante and Morgan talk like a big ol' family! Awkward! They talk about the Yankees and juries and undercover cops until it gets so uncomfortable that Dante leaves.
Luke sorta half-chides Tracy for not believing in her grandson. Ethan and Luke are disturbed by the whole thing. Luke says that no one is going to believe Ethan until Kristina admits the truth.

Kelly's: Lulu cries to Carly about Maxie. Carly calms her down.
Dante sees his mom at the PCPD. She tells him that she's there to see Claire to go over her testimony. He talks about Morgan. He second guesses sending Sonny to prison. NO! Dante! Don't go over to the dark side! Olivia begins to tell him that she has no doubt that Sonny loves his kids, but he's also narcissistic and manipulative and..... Johnny comes running in, first calling him Detective Falconari and then, "or maybe you should just change it to Corinthos." Oooh. Burn.
Alexis wants Kristina to take care of herself and goes on about how much she respects her.

Alexis goes to the Haunted Star to warn Ethan.
Luke visits Kristina. He pretty much gets right to the point telling her that they both know Ethan didn't beat her up, but Sonny doesn't know that. She tries to close the door but Luke holds it telling her she needs to tell the truth.
Dante tells Johnny that he won't make a good witness because of his temper. Johnny proves Dante right by going off on Sonny.

March 25, 2010
Sonny opens the door to Diane. She tells him that they have until the afternoon to talk about the case. Instead, Sonny asks Diane what the maximum sentence Ethan will get for assaulting Kristina.
Jason and Sam hug. They missed each other. She tells Jason about her night bonding with Kristina. She's worried because Kristina wants to drop the charges against Ethan.
Lucky and Dante meet with Alexis at Kelly's about Luke. She compares Luke and Ethan which makes Dante get into a tizzy about his own parentage. Alexis is just worried and doesn't want Luke to get Ethan out of the country. Lucky assures her that he won't let that happen. He also tells her that Kristina doesn't want to press charges.
Luke greets Dante with a coffee from Kelly's in the interrogation room of the PCPD. Ethan, not so subtly, tells Luke that he knows about the rape.
Credits
Sam talks about what Kristina wants regarding Ethan's prosecution and she agrees that it might be too much for her describing the events that could occur. Jason gets that Sam is talking from experience.
Luke talks about his past: About his father who was an abusive drunk and about the night he snapped and raped the woman he loved. Ethan wonders when it's his turn to snap. Luke says it has nothing to do with genetics.
Diane doesn't want to talk about Ethan. She discusses the case. She's worried about Johnny and Maxie's testimonies. She goes on for a bit. Sonny's response? Ethan. Seriously did not hear a word she said. My nephew is like that. But he has Asberger's. Diane finally yells, "Stop it!" She tells Sonny that she'll prosecute Ethan when the time comes but it'll be that much harder for Kristina if her father is in prison.
Max and Milo are enjoying the island while Michael counts the minutes until he's replaced. D'oh! He calls Kristina on the phone. He has no idea what's going on with the trial or anything in Port Charles because he has no TV or internet access. Kristina tells Michael she got beaten up. Michael makes a decision to come home to be there for her but she assures him that she has support and is fine. He comes out to the living room and orders Max and MIlo to take him home because his sister needs him. Carly comes in just in time to tell him he ain't goin' nowhere!
Sam gets all offended that Jason thinks she's taking Kristina's assault personally but then admits that he's right. Jason thinks it's great that Sam is there for Kristina because of her experience. She says she's going to have to convince Alexis and Sonny to do what Kristina wants.
Carly asks M&M for a moment alone with Michael. Michael tells her what he just found out and doesn't understand why no one told him. Carly says that that's why she's there. She also needs to tell him how important it is for Michael to stay.
Olivia asks Johnny the questions from the prosecution's sheet. I can't really pay attention to what he's saying because Johnny is shirtless. He gets angry and I can tell because his muscles ripple a bit. Olivia tells him he'll have to calm it down a bit on the stand. He's worried that Sonny will go free.
Sam comes to visit Alexis at the lake house. Alexis is going over stuff regarding the case against Ethan. Sam tells Alexis that Kristina opened up to her. They agree that Kristina is petrified but Sam tells her that Kristina just wants it to go away. Sam asks Alexis if there's any way to get the charges against Ethan to disappear which is just completely icky. And completely missing the point. And this whole story line which seemed to be there for the sole purpose of showing teenage girls who watch this show the right thing to do is just getting so skewed and confusing and I really hope it ends well because I hate recapping it.
Carly tells Michael what happened with Kristina. Michael is shocked that it would be Ethan and Carly tells him that she thinks Kristina might be lying and lists the reasons why. Michael knows it wasn't Ethan and says it was Kiefer.
Luke visits Sonny again. Sonny wants to know if Ethan's caved yet and Luke tells him that Ethan is innocent. Luke gives a speech about how a man knows his son. He wants Sonny to talk to Kristina again. Sonny: "Luke, are you calling my daughter a liar." Yes! We all are! It's fun! Try it! Kristina is a liar!
At the PCPD, Claire asks Dante his opinion about calling Johnny to the stand.
Meanwhile, a shirtless Johnny has a kissing Olivia on his lap. Lucky bitch. For some reason, he starts talking about his sister. I thought the incestual vibe would end after she died. He goes on to talk about taking Sonny down. Olivia tries to define the fine line between justice and revenge.
Sam and Alexis argue. Alexis can't understand how Sam could want to protect the attacker. Sam talks about her conversation with Jason. Alexis doesn't think Jason is one she should be discussing this with her since he doesn't understand the ramifications of violence.
Ethan talks to Lucky about Laura's rape.
Diane orders Jason to be on "Sonny containment". She tells him to get his mind on the trial and not on Kristina. Jason tells Diane about the discrepancy in Kristina's story. Diane doesn't want Jason to talk to Sonny about this.
The tension between Luke and Sonny rise. He asks Luke to leave before things escalate. Luke complies.
Dante thinks Johnny won't be a good witness because he's "nuts".
Lucky talks to Ethan about how hard it was to find out about his dad.
Kelly's: Kristina sits with Bitchy Friend, Molly and Silent Friend at a table while Kiefer eavesdrops at the counter. Bitchy friend tells her that she has to think bout what she's going to wear to court. Kristina tells Bitchy that there may not even be a trial. Bitchy and Silent leave. Molly tells Kristina that of course there'll be a trial. She leaves to go to the library. Kiefer comes over and asks if he heard (eavesdropped) right about her dropping the charges against Ethan.
Sam continues to try to convince Alexis to do what Kristina wants. You know what, Sam? That's why Alexis is the mom. Sometimes moms have to make those hard decisions so that their daughter's will feel better in the end knowing that the guy who attacked them won't do the same thing to someone else. How guilty would Kristina feel if she didn't prosecute her attacker and he beat up some other poor girl? Of course the whole thing is moot since Kristina named the wrong guy....
Michael wants to go home so he can convince Kristina to tell the truth but Carly doesn't think it'll work. Michael: "What kind of world do we live in where the wrong people pay and the guilty go free," alluding to his lil thing with Sonny and Claudia. Except for someone who is so gung ho about going into Sonny's life of crime, you'd think he wouldn't care so much about that. Carly assures him that staying silent is the best thing he can do right now.
Jason meets with Sonny and talks about Diane's worries. He tries to get Sonny to keep focus.
Claire puts Johnny on the mock stand. She asks him questions that aren't on the list telling him that he has to be prepared for that. She purposefully makes him angry.
Sonny tells Jason about Luke. He says he's not going to kill Ethan, but only if the justice system does it's job.
For some reason Dante peeks through the window as Lucky talks to Ethan. Luke interrupts Lucky who goes out to see Dante. Inside, Luke tells Ethan that he talked to Sonny with disastrous results. Outside, Dante asks Lucky if he should be worrying about a break-out. Alexis interrupts them to tell Lucky that she needs to talk about the charges against Ethan.
Back at Kelly's, Keifer wants to know why Kristina is dropping the charges. Kristina, "He didn't hurt me." Duh. He thinks that she'll press charges against him and that it's "unfair." Sam interrupts wanting to know what's "unfair."

March 24 2010
DANTE, not Ethan, tells Claire they have enough evidence to convict Sonny. They don't. Claire thinks they need Michael's testimony. Dante thinks Michael is 'damaged enough'. Claire thinks Dante became biased once he found out Sonny was his father. Dante disagrees. Get these two a room! I mean if he and Lulu never do it, why not? But Daniel, you say. They hate each other! I know, says I. It's not like any romantic comedy I've ever seen! Dante has second thoughts about Claire being brought in. She wants to put Sonny away.
Luke and Sonny: Un! Comfortable! Luke tells Sonny that Ethan didn't attack Kristina.
Carly tells Jason that she thinks Kristina is lying to protect whomever really did this to her. Jason asks who? Carly's got the answer: Keifer.
Speak of the devil! Keifer is watching Kristina sob to Lucky. She describes the attacker without saying his name. Lucky: "Who did this to you?" Kristina: "Why?" WHY?
Credits: Big news lately is that they recast Michael. I have no idea why but he won't be on for a month. And he probably won't be in the credits for a year.
Jason doesn't want Carly to jump to any conclusions. Carly: "Why not?" She tells him that he's the one that guessed Kristina was lying. She goes over the 'timing' facts. Jason plays 'devil's advocate'. But Carly's got all the answers! She describes Kiefer's past with Michael and Morgan.
Lucky tries to make Kristina more comfortable. She talks about how Sam helped her with the bruises. She says she doesn't want Ethan arrested or to go through a trial. She says she never should have said it was Ethan but when Lucky asks why, she doesn't give the real reason. She begs Lucky to make it over. Lucky gives up for now but lets her know that he'll do everything he can to help her. Keifer hides as Lucky leaves.
In the interrogation room, Lulu comes to visit Ethan and is the elevetieth person to tell him how stupid he is. He tells her that Luke is back and she tells him that Luke believes him because he doesn't want to believe that Ethan is like him. Ethan wants to know the big Luke secret.
Luke talks about the night Kristina came to the Haunted Star and adds Ethan has no reason to lie to him. Sonny counters that Kristina has no reason to lie either. Luke thinks she's confused. They argue some more, both defending their kids.
Claire continues to argue Dante's wishy-washyness. And she's completely right. Dante insists that he's trying to put Sonny away as much as she does. He pleads compassion for Michael but Claire thinks he just doesn't want Michael to say what he saw. My opinion? This case was fucked before it started.
Claire and Dante? Still arguing. About the same thing. And I like both these actors but it's not really getting anywhere. It's hard for Claire to overlook how Dante lied about getting shot. I still don't understand how they couldn't prove that. A long time ago, Ronnie mentioned gun powder residue but no one looked into it???
Gazebo of love: Patrick greets Robin. Lisa tells Robin that she's on the Corinthos case. Robin wants to know more but Lisa says she's sworn to secrecy. Robin tells Lisa that she knows she'll serve with integrity but then goes on a rant about how Sonny is not everything the media makes him out to be. But she doesn't stop there. She goes on and on about Sonny in her very biased way. Patrick catches on.
Jason thinks Carly needs to stay out of it. She wants to talk to Sonny and Lucky but finally lets Jason think he convinced her to stay out of it.
Sonny describes how he found Kristina at the hospital. They argue the evidence. Luke tries but Sonny is as stubborn as always. I'd blame him less in this situation if he wasn't always like this. Sonny hints at what's to be done. Luke warns Sonny not to touch his son. Ooooh, rift between Sonny and Luke!
Lulu says she doesn't know Ethan's background so she doesn't know who to believe. Ethan still thinks she doesn't trust him because of something Luke did. Lulu finally tells a shocked Ethan what Luke did to Laura years ago. He thinks there has to be more to it. Lulu describes the circumstances of the rape in full detail.
Robin defends her argument. Lisa doesn't want to hear it, so she leaves. Patrick doesn't want to talk about the case. He wants to concentrate on their date. But...Robin starts talking about Sonny again. Patick, "What's the jury supposed to do? Acquit Sonny because he was once a good man?" Robin: "It's really that black and white to you?" Which....makes no sense because Patrick's reasoning is sort of the opposite of 'black and white'.
Lulu meets Dante at Jake's. Coleman gives them some free beers. Dante thinks the beer is to alleviate Dante's reaction to Coleman's future verdict to acquit Sonny. Coleman would rather acquit a guilty man than have piano wire wrapped around his neck.
Kristina is surprised to see Keifer knocking at her door. He says he's there to see if she's OK, but let's slip that he knows Lucky was there. For some reason Kristina is surprised that Keifer is a stalker as well as an abusive boyfriend. Keifer wants to know what Lucky wanted. She lies that she asked him to help out with her mom. She also says feels bad that Ethan got arrested. Really? Then...tell everyone he's innocent and you won't have to feel guilty anymore. Keifer gets angry and wants to know why she feels bad since Ethan treated her bad and...ick. She says she doesn't want to go through a trial. Saved by the bell. Sonny stops by and Keifer leaves...probably shitting his pants. Sonny tells Kristina she looks better. She wants to know how court went and he says fine but he was thinking about her a lot. She tells him that she doesn't want Ethan to be punished because of her.
Jax asks Carly at the Metro-Court why she confronted Kristina. She snorts that it didn't take Alexis long to run to him. He defends Alexis but Carly sympathizes with her arch-enemy. (one of many). She tells Jax that she was just talking to Kristina and that there was a discrepancy in her story. Jax wants to know why she needs to get involved and Carly says he's right and she should be focussing on Sonny and the trial. Jax doesn't like that either. Of course they argue about that and then about Michael.
Kristina and Sonny argue Ethan's fate. She cries that she doesn't want Ethan to go through a trial or to die. Sonny pretends he doesn't know what she's talking about. She knows. He thinks she's acting like Adele, a victim who doesn't want to punish her attacker. She tries to convince him that she 'just wants this to be over'.
A frustrated Luke comes back to the Haunted Star. Lucky comes in and starts to talk to him about Ethan but Luke wants to know about Lucky's troubles. Lucky tells him about Crazy's baby daddy. He and Luke both seem relieved. They move on to Ethan. Lucky tells Luke that Kristina doesn't want to press charges against Ethan. Luke knows Ethan is innocent but he's worried about what Sonny is going to do.
Lulu and Dante discuss Ethan. She wants to believe Ethan but is worried about the genetics angle. Dante tries not to pry but he asks what happened. She says there's something Luke did once but she doesn't go into details. Dante compares father and son Spencer to himself and Sonny.
Patrick admits he liked Sonny until he shot his son in the chest. Imagine that? He says that Sonny's life breeds violence for everyone around him and cites Claudia, Michael and Dante as examples. He doesn't want Robin or Emma around Sonny's world. Robin says she doesn't make excuses for Sonny but she still loves him. Patrick finally tries to change the subject. One last comment from Robin on the matter, "I'm not in Sonny's world. I'm in your world." Awww.
Lucky describes what he saw at the hospital. Luke wonders if Kristina could have been mistaken. Lucky says it's possible.
At the Corinthos house, Sonny tells Jason about court. To Jason, Dante is a traitor and he says to Sonny, Dante is flesh and blood and there's no middle ground. Sonny compares the situation to Ethan/Luke.
Sam comes to visit Kristina. Kristina tells her how everyone's been pressuring her to prosecute Ethan. They argue about the pros and cons of prosecuting. She gets Sam to promise to talk to Alexis about talking to the D.A.
After the break, Sam and Kristina talk nail polish. It's as exciting as it sounds.
Luke tells Lucky what happened when Kristina came to the Haunted Star. Lucky says they need to find the bastard that did this!
Lulu insists Dante is nothing like Sonny but Dante isn't sure. It seems he's just looking for assurance.
Sonny talks about what Kristina wants. Jason wonders about Luke. Sonny says that Luke thinks that he backed him off. Sonny says he's wrong and he'll get justice one way or another. DUN!

Lulu finally tells a shocked Ethan what Luke did to Laura years ago. He thinks there has to be more to it. Lulu describes the circumstances of the rape in full detail.
Robin defends her argument. Lisa doesn't want to hear it, so she leaves. Patrick doesn't want to talk about the case. He wants to concentrate on their date. But...Robin starts talking about Sonny again. Patick, "What's the jury supposed to do? Acquit Sonny because he was once a good man?" Robin: "It's really that black and white to you?" Which....makes no sense because Patrick's reasoning is sort of the opposite of 'black and white'.
Lulu meets Dante at Jake's. Coleman gives them some free beers. Dante thinks the beer is to alleviate Dante's reaction to Coleman's future verdict to acquit Sonny. Coleman would rather acquit a guilty man than have piano wire wrapped around his neck.
Kristina is surprised to see Keifer knocking at her door. He says he's there to see if she's OK, but let's slip that he knows Lucky was there. For some reason Kristina is surprised that Keifer is a stalker as well as an abusive boyfriend. Keifer wants to know what Lucky wanted. She lies that she asked him to help out with her mom. She also says feels bad that Ethan got arrested. Really? Then...tell everyone he's innocent and you won't have to feel guilty anymore. Keifer gets angry and wants to know why she feels bad since Ethan treated her bad and...ick. She says she doesn't want to go through a trial. Saved by the bell. Sonny stops by and Keifer leaves...probably shitting his pants. Sonny tells Kristina she looks better. She wants to know how court went and he says fine but he was thinking about her a lot. She tells him that she doesn't want Ethan to be punished because of her.
Jax asks Carly at the Metro-Court why she confronted Kristina. She snorts that it didn't take Alexis long to run to him. He defends Alexis but Carly sympathizes with her arch-enemy. (one of many). She tells Jax that she was just talking to Kristina and that there was a discrepancy in her story. Jax wants to know why she needs to get involved and Carly says he's right and she should be focussing on Sonny and the trial. Jax doesn't like that either. Of course they argue about that and then about Michael.
Kristina and Sonny argue Ethan's fate. She cries that she doesn't want Ethan to go through a trial or to die. Sonny pretends he doesn't know what she's talking about. She knows. He thinks she's acting like Adele, a victim who doesn't want to punish her attacker. She tries to convince him that she 'just wants this to be over'.
A frustrated Luke comes back to the Haunted Star. Lucky comes in and starts to talk to him about Ethan but Luke wants to know about Lucky's troubles. Lucky tells him about Crazy's baby daddy. He and Luke both seem relieved. They move on to Ethan. Lucky tells Luke that Kristina doesn't want to press charges against Ethan. Luke knows Ethan is innocent but he's worried about what Sonny is going to do.
Lulu and Dante discuss Ethan. She wants to believe Ethan but is worried about the genetics angle. Dante tries not to pry but he asks what happened. She says there's something Luke did once but she doesn't go into details. Dante compares father and son Spencer to himself and Sonny.
Patrick admits he liked Sonny until he shot his son in the chest. Imagine that? He says that Sonny's life breeds violence for everyone around him and cites Claudia, Michael and Dante as examples. He doesn't want Robin or Emma around Sonny's world. Robin says she doesn't make excuses for Sonny but she still loves him. Patrick finally tries to change the subject. One last comment from Robin on the matter, "I'm not in Sonny's world. I'm in your world." Awww.
Lucky describes what he saw at the hospital. Luke wonders if Kristina could have been mistaken. Lucky says it's possible.
At the Corinthos house, Sonny tells Jason about court. To Jason, Dante is a traitor and he says to Sonny, Dante is flesh and blood and there's no middle ground. Sonny compares the situation to Ethan/Luke.
Sam comes to visit Kristina. Kristina tells her how everyone's been pressuring her to prosecute Ethan. They argue about the pros and cons of prosecuting. She gets Sam to promise to talk to Alexis about talking to the D.A.
After the break, Sam and Kristina talk nail polish. It's as exciting as it sounds.
Luke tells Lucky what happened when Kristina came to the Haunted Star. Lucky says they need to find the bastard that did this!
Lulu insists Dante is nothing like Sonny but Dante isn't sure. It seems he's just looking for assurance.
Sonny talks about what Kristina wants. Jason wonders about Luke. Sonny says that Luke thinks that he backed him off. Sonny says he's wrong and he'll get justice one way or another. DUN!

March 23 2010
Ethan is happy to see Luke although he snarks about his current predicament. Luke doesn't think Ethan will even get to trial.
Jason talks to Lucky about the discrepancy in Kristina's story.
Carly explains to Alexis that she was just talking to Kristina. She says that Kristina might have made a mistake. Kristina combines three sentences into one: "No, mom, it was Ethan, I swear."
Claire questions Dante. She mentions Dante's chest wound, not-so-subtly hinting that Sonny was the cause. Objection! Sustained! Judge asks Dante point blank who shot him in the chest.
We go to credits like it's a cliffhanger or something but we know what Dante will say.
Luke goes over the details of the night that Kristina was beaten with what he witnessed and says he can see how a guy can snap from all that. Ethan takes it to mean that Luke thinks he's guilty. Luke says he'll stand by Ethan whether he did it or not. Ethan insists that he didn't do it. We flashback to what happened when Ethan found Kristina as he describes it.
Carly continues to talk as Alexis hugs her sobbing daughter. Kristina runs off sobbing that it was Ethan. Alexis tells Carly to go. Carly tries to explain what she did but Alexis won't hear it. Alexis thinks Carly is protecting Ethan because he's her cousin.
Jason tells Lucky about the time discrepancy. Lucky explains the facts. He needs more reasons to why Jason thinks Kristina might be lying to investigate it further. Jason tells him "off the record" that it wasn't Alexis who drove Claudia off the road last summer and that it was Kristina.
Robin and Patrick talk about Maxie. Robin is really worried. Epiphany interrupts to tell them that Maxie finally stopped working on Crimson stuff. According to Maxie's instructions, Patrick and Robin decide to 'seize the day'.
On the stand, Dante says he shot himself. Claire still doesn't believe it and Diane objects that Claire is badgering her own witness. The judge sustains and tells Claire to 'move it along.' She asks him about how and when he found out about his parentage. He answers but she brings up the 'shot in the chest' thing again. Diane objects again. Claire explains why she's asking.
Carly says she's not protecting Ethan and that she's trying to help Kristina. Alexis tells her that calling Kristina a liar won't help her. Carly brings up Kristina lying about the car crash. Alexis defensively tells her to get out. After she leaves, Kristina comes back out and apologizes but further buries herself in lies by saying that Carly is helping Ethan because she's his cousin.
Luke can identify with Ethan's predicament. Ethan is glad that Luke believes him although he thinks he's at fault for going over to Kristina's house the night they got into an argument. Luke doesn't think that was a bad idea but he thinks breaking the restraining order was. Ethan agrees. He thinks Luke will bust him out. Luke thinks he should stay and clear his name for now but will make him disappear if things don't go as planned.
Lucky brings up Ethan violating the restraining order. Jason asks him point blank if he thinks Ethan did it. Ethan doesn't want to believe it. He says he understands why Ethan would go over. He still wants to know why Kristina would lie. Why, indeed. Lucky decides to look into it further.
Johnny is arguing with someone on the phone. He got a list of questions that the prosecution wants him to go over before being called. He reads the questions out while mocking them until he gets to a question, "During your late sister's marriage, did the defendant ever demonstrate a hostile attitude?" He gets pissed at this question and takes it out on his furniture. Olivia comes in to see him throwing stuff around. He says he was thinking about what Sonny was capable of.
More Court: Dante explains his job and how he got to know Sonny. He's asked to display the evidence he found regarding Claudia's murder. He tells about the cabin, the ashes, etc... She asks him if Sonny ever hinted to him that he killed his wife. With malice.
Patrick plans a surprise for Robin. She wants a hint. Patrick, "Meet me at the park by the gazebo." She loves that he's trying to surprise her. Lucky stops by. He wants to ask some questions about Ethan, off the record, to Patrick, Robin and Epiphany.
Johnny shows Olivia the list. They talk about Ethan and Kristina. Olivia tells him that Ethan violated his restraining order.
The judge repeats the question. Dante says no. Claire presents the hair at the cabin. Diane wants to object since it's already been established that Sonny was at the cabin. The judge let's Claire continue. She asks Claire if Dante thinks there was a witness to this murder. Sonny whispers to Diane to get Claire off this. Claire asks the question again. Dante tries to dodge answering but the judge orders Dante to answer. After several attempts, he finally says, "Michael Corinthos III".
Jax is at the cabin apologizing for Carly. He tells Alexis he'll talk to her. Alexis thinks she's been a bad mother because she can't get her daughter to talk to her. She tells Jax that Kristina has been on the pill. She hates that Kristina tries so hard not to disappoint her. Jax comforts her and it's a nice 'best friend' moment.
Epiphany says that Ethan seemed concerned. Patrick says that Ethan seemed restless. Patrick thinks Ethan did it and brought her in because he was remorseful.
Claire questions Dante further about Michael. She asks why Michael isn't there. Dante says the court couldn't locate him. Claire addresses the jury directly saying Sonny has one son who was mysteriously shot and another son that could be a potential witness who is no where to be found. Objection! Sustained! The judge fines Claire $1000. I love when judges tell juries to ignore certain statements. Like that works. Yep! It's erased from my mind! Claire is done with Dante. Diane has no questions for him but reserves the right to call him in another time. Dante leaves the courtroom in a huff. Lulu comes out to see if he's okay. Dante, "I just wrecked my brother's life".
Court is adjourned for the day but not before the judge chides council and tells the jury to disregard anything they're told to disregard. Sonny asks Diane how bad it is. Diane doesn't think it's that bad. Sonny wonders about Michael. She thinks that Michael is going to be used.
Coleman and Alice talk about the case when they're interrupted by Floyd who basically tells them to do their duty. Lisa overhears this and shames the Mayor for what he's doing. Dante and Lulu part. He wants to talk to the prosecutor.
Robin checks her computer to see what's going on with the trial. Epiphany tells her to go into the break room because it's probably on TV. Robin doesn't want to get caught by Patrick. She asks Epiphany what she thinks but Epiphany doesn't have an opinion on the matter. She tells Robin that Patrick has already signed out causing Robin to realize she's late for the surprise.
At the gazebo, Lisa finds Patrick setting up for a special date. She jokes that it's for her but than asks what the occasion is. He explains about Maxie. She tells him about jury duty.
Lucky arrives at the lake house. He asks Kristina if Alexis is at home but she's running errands. Lucky asks if she'd feel comfortable if he asked her some questions and she invites him in. Kristina thinks he's mad that she got his brother arrested but Lucky assures her that he's not. She asks him what more he wants to know. He says he just wants to help and see that her attacker is brought to justice. He says 'attacker' and not 'Ethan'. She says she just wants it to be over.
Lisa tells Patrick she can't talk about the case but she tells him that Claire is a cross between a cheerleader and a pitbull. Heh. Robin shows up.
Dante yells at Claire about bringing up Michael. She yells at him for being a lousy witness. Touche. He has this notion that it's an open and shut case except it's totally not.
Carly tells Jason that he's right about Kristina. She explains what happened with Kristina and later with Alexis. She's certain that Kristina is lying.
Lucky tries to get Kristina to talk about what happened again. She goes over every detail. When she gets to the part about being beaten, she doesn't use a name. Lucky asks, "Who...who did this to you?" Who?? Who??
Sonny slams his door open. He goes to pour himself a drink when we hear Luke at the door saying he could use a drink to.

March 22, 2010
Carly is surprised that Jason thinks that Kristina might be lying. She urges him to find out the truth before anyone is killed.
Kristina has let Ethan into her house. He asks her why she's lying. She lamely answers that he yelled at her. He can't believe she'd ruin his life to punish him. Neither can I. I really hope this lie doesn't stretch too much further.
Dante and Lulu make out in his new pad. He stops it. Damn it, Dante! These two are both teases.
Diane finishes her opening statement by telling the jury that Sonny killed Claudia to protect Carly and Josselyn.
Credits
Diane explains to the jury what she'll prove during the trial. She tries to push Claire under the bus by talking about how she was brought in. Claire objects but the judge allows it. For some reason Coleman, in the jury box, gives a thumbs up to Diane...or the judge? Or maybe Sonny? She goes over the "facts" of what apparently happened that night. Carolyn Hennessey does a great job as Diane. She speaks well and is really believable as a lawyer. I almost believe her story.
Lulu wants to know why Dante stopped. He forgot condoms! They immediately begin searching for them. I wonder if Dante knows that Lulu was pregnant once before. Dante finds a box and they begin making out again. Phone! Dante answers his cell. The court wants Dante.
Lucky visits Crazy. She tells him what he already knows about the paternity. He admits he was there and he didn't want to interrupt. She explains to Lucky that she will never be with Nikolas.
Carly and Jason talk more about Ethan. Carly remembers that Kristina lied once before concerning Claudia's car crash. Jason explains his 'timing' theory to her.
Ethan apologizes for being a dick at the Haunted Star but he implores Kristina to tell the truth. She doesn't get it. Sam rushes in to her sister's rescue and calls the police, despite Ethan's pleas. He once again asks Kristina to the truth but she just cries and stays silent.
After the break, Ethan tries to convince Sam while Kristina just cries on the couch. Sam twists his words around to make it look like he's blaming Kristina for the attack. Finally, knowing he can't convince either of these two girls, he runs from the house. The thing is, I can't really blame Sam at all for this. She's too close to it emotionally and has no reason not to believe her sister. After he leaves, Sam comforts a now sobbing Kristina. She wants Sam to call the police back and tell them she made a mistake but Sam won't. Kristina's wounds look almost completely healed. Magic or make-up?!
Carly understands what it's like for Sam which puts Jason in a bad position. Jason worries the real attacker is still out there. Carly is worried that Kristina will feel guilty for the rest of her life if Ethan is hurt. She again tells Jason he needs to find out the truth. Didn't we already have this scene? Come on, Jason! Get going!
Lucky is glad that Elizabeth has come to a decision but doesn't want her to do it out of guilt. He wants to make sure she knows they're not getting back together but she says she knows.
Monica(!) explains to an oxygen masked Maxie that her blood pressure is dangerously low. She instructs Mac and Maxie that she can't have any physical or emotional stress. Spinelli, Robin and Patrick watch and listen carefully. Monica(!) tells Maxie she'll be OK and leaves. Everyone sulks, but Maxie tells them she'll be OK. Spinelli concurs.
Spinelli leaves to get something for Maxie. Mac talks to Maxie comforting himself more than her. Robin leaves to check on test results and Patrick follows. Outside, she breaks down a bit talking about how she watched Maxie go through this when she was younger. Back inside, Mac apologizes for being mean to Spinelli.
Claire is questioning Mayor Floyd on the stand regarding what he heard at the party. He says that he heard Sonny say, "It ends tonight!" She gets reprimanded by the judge twice for leading. He also threatens to throw out the case if she continues. Claire seems pretty satisfied anyway.
Nikolas brings Spencer over to visit Crazy as she gets off her cell. She's happy to see her baby's brother. Spencer has some questions that Nikolas thought only Elizabeth could answer. She explains to Spencer what's happening inside her 'tummy'.
Lucky comes to the Haunted Star to place Ethan under arrest. He's pissed that Ethan went over Kristina's house which he thinks proves that he's guilty. Ethan explains what he was trying to do but Lucky rightly explains it was the stupidest thing he could've done. Ethan tries to talk but Lucky shuts him up and leads him out without handcuffs.
Carly visits Kristina. If Sonny is so worried, why doesn't he have guards on Kristina? She brought a gift basket full of snacks. She's smart to soften the blow to why she's really there. Carly begins talking about her mistakes with older men but gets Kristina to open the cookies before she opens up. She talks about the guy she slept with when she was 16 which made a big mess for a lot of people. She tells Kristina that although she messed up, she was able to rebuild what she had.
Tracy meets Sam and Alexis at the PCPD as Lucky brings Ethan in handcuffs. Alexis asks Lucky to make sure everything is done by the books and he assures her that he knows how to do his job. Lucky drops Ethan off at the interrogation room. He leaves and Tracy enters calling him a fool.
Spencer asks Crazy if she and the baby will live with them. She explains that she'll be living on her own but he'll be able to see the baby anytime he wants. Nik tries to help out too. Spencer asks about the name. His favorite name is Sheba! That would be kind of awesome. And if it's a boy? Buzz Lightyear Cassadine! Awesome.
Robin worries about Maxie and compares her illness to her own. Patrick says Robin's illness scares him sometime too. Spinelli rolls back and asks Robin if he can go in. Inside, Mac excuses himself to let Spinelli have time with Maxie which is a nice adjustment to his attitude regarding Spinelli. He shows her a slideshow of their last year that really any fangirl could make on their MaxElli website. And...in some of these scenes, they were alone...so who took the pictures?
Claire wants to submit a list of witnesses who all heard Sonny threaten Claudia. Diane editorializes about why Sonny said waht he said to which Claire objects. The judge sustains. They let Mayor Floyd step down. And they take a recess so that the judge can talk to council. Alice and Coleman discuss Sonny's care-free body language. Sonny gets up to leave and runs into Dante and Lulu entering the court room.
Coleman. Lisa and Alice discuss the case. Coleman thinks Sonny is obviously guilty. Lisa is surprised he's ready to make a judgement after one witness but he actually wants the verdict to be 'not guilty' since he knows how powerful Sonny is. Alice, however, wants to see justice served and she's excited to put Sonny away. Kinda ironic considering how much she goes to bat for Luke. Lisa thinks they're both getting ahead of themselves.
Dante asks Lulu to get some seats. Sonny is surprised to see Dante so soon. Dante tells him they usually bring the investigating officer in early to get a layout of the case. Sonny assures Dante that no matter what he says on the stand, he's still his father. Dante retorts, "You're also a murderer." He tells Sonny, "You're just another criminal."
Asleep, Maxie dreams of her future as a fashion designer on the red carpet with Spinelli.
Kristina asks Carly how she got involved with an older man. Carly carefully tells her, subtly comparing herself to Kristina getting her to open up. Kristina talks about how cool she found Ethan to be. Carly continues to get Kristina to open up.
Ethan tries to explain what happened to Tracy but she's furious.
Jason has called Lucky but before he can get out what he called him there for, Lucky blurts out the results of the paternity test. He assures Jason that it won't affect his relationship with Jake and Cam. Jason tells Lucky that he needed to see him as a cop.
Kristina talks about Ethan some more. Kristina hints that perhaps the relationship was unclear. She relates it to her own story about how things got so confused to her in the past that she began to lie and that the lies became worse over the years. She implores Kristina to tell the truth but she says it in a very understanding, non-threatening way. And I have to say that this is the first time in a while that I've liked Carly. She's not being her usual brash self. Before Kristina can say anything, Alexis comes in and asks Carly what she's doing there.
Jason tells Lucky that there are discrepancies in Kristina's story and that Ethan may be innocent.
Ethan knocks over a chair in the interrogation room. Luke comes in to save the day!
Dante swears to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help him, God!

Lucky comes to the Haunted Star to place Ethan under arrest. He's pissed that Ethan went over Kristina's house which he thinks proves that he's guilty. Ethan explains what he was trying to do but Lucky rightly explains it was the stupidest thing he could've done. Ethan tries to talk but Lucky shuts him up and leads him out without handcuffs.
Carly visits Kristina. If Sonny is so worried, why doesn't he have guards on Kristina? She brought a gift basket full of snacks. She's smart to soften the blow to why she's really there. Carly begins talking about her mistakes with older men but gets Kristina to open the cookies before she opens up. She talks about the guy she slept with when she was 16 which made a big mess for a lot of people. She tells Kristina that although she messed up, she was able to rebuild what she had.
Tracy meets Sam and Alexis at the PCPD as Lucky brings Ethan in handcuffs. Alexis asks Lucky to make sure everything is done by the books and he assures her that he knows how to do his job. Lucky drops Ethan off at the interrogation room. He leaves and Tracy enters calling him a fool.
Spencer asks Crazy if she and the baby will live with them. She explains that she'll be living on her own but he'll be able to see the baby anytime he wants. Nik tries to help out too. Spencer asks about the name. His favorite name is Sheba! That would be kind of awesome. And if it's a boy? Buzz Lightyear Cassadine! Awesome.
Robin worries about Maxie and compares her illness to her own. Patrick says Robin's illness scares him sometime too. Spinelli rolls back and asks Robin if he can go in. Inside, Mac excuses himself to let Spinelli have time with Maxie which is a nice adjustment to his attitude regarding Spinelli. He shows her a slideshow of their last year that really any fangirl could make on their MaxElli website. And...in some of these scenes, they were alone...so who took the pictures?
Claire wants to submit a list of witnesses who all heard Sonny threaten Claudia. Diane editorializes about why Sonny said waht he said to which Claire objects. The judge sustains. They let Mayor Floyd step down. And they take a recess so that the judge can talk to council. Alice and Coleman discuss Sonny's care-free body language. Sonny gets up to leave and runs into Dante and Lulu entering the court room.
Coleman. Lisa and Alice discuss the case. Coleman thinks Sonny is obviously guilty. Lisa is surprised he's ready to make a judgement after one witness but he actually wants the verdict to be 'not guilty' since he knows how powerful Sonny is. Alice, however, wants to see justice served and she's excited to put Sonny away. Kinda ironic considering how much she goes to bat for Luke. Lisa thinks they're both getting ahead of themselves.
Dante asks Lulu to get some seats. Sonny is surprised to see Dante so soon. Dante tells him they usually bring the investigating officer in early to get a layout of the case. Sonny assures Dante that no matter what he says on the stand, he's still his father. Dante retorts, "You're also a murderer." He tells Sonny, "You're just another criminal."
Asleep, Maxie dreams of her future as a fashion designer on the red carpet with Spinelli.
Kristina asks Carly how she got involved with an older man. Carly carefully tells her, subtly comparing herself to Kristina getting her to open up. Kristina talks about how cool she found Ethan to be. Carly continues to get Kristina to open up.
Ethan tries to explain what happened to Tracy but she's furious.
Jason has called Lucky but before he can get out what he called him there for, Lucky blurts out the results of the paternity test. He assures Jason that it won't affect his relationship with Jake and Cam. Jason tells Lucky that he needed to see him as a cop.
Kristina talks about Ethan some more. Kristina hints that perhaps the relationship was unclear. She relates it to her own story about how things got so confused to her in the past that she began to lie and that the lies became worse over the years. She implores Kristina to tell the truth but she says it in a very understanding, non-threatening way. And I have to say that this is the first time in a while that I've liked Carly. She's not being her usual brash self. Before Kristina can say anything, Alexis comes in and asks Carly what she's doing there.
Jason tells Lucky that there are discrepancies in Kristina's story and that Ethan may be innocent.
Ethan knocks over a chair in the interrogation room. Luke comes in to save the day!
Dante swears to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help him, God!

March 19, 2010
It's my 50th recap! Congratulations to me!
Dante is relaxing in his new pad with lots of unopened boxes when Lulu comes in with a housewarming gift. A coffee maker! Ok, I missed about thirty seconds here because something went screwy with ABC and it switched to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Very weird.... Someone's getting fired! Anyway, I can't have missed too much because Lulu and Dante are still on my screen. She asks him why he chose to move in the day of Sonny's trial.
Carly calls for Sonny at his house. She wants to see what he's wearing. Sonny is sitting with drink in hand, sulking and thinking about Kristina.
Sam's sulking, too, at Jason's. He checks on her to see if she's OK. She goes upstairs to change when there's a knock at the door. It's Ethan. Uh...is that a good idea? He wants to talk to Jason because he's the only "Corinthos-connected" person willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Sam steps in front of Jason to ask Ethan if he has a death wish. Seriously, dude.
Credits
Sam goes a little crazy trying to put Ethan in his place. She hardly let's him talk. Jason just stands aside and let's Sam rant until Ethan leaves. She wants Jason to promise he won't listen to Ethan. Except she calls him some other choice words that are not 'Ethan'.
Carly gives Sonny coffee because that's the Port Charles drunkenness cure. Sobers you right up! Except it doesn't. It just makes you an awake-drunk. Give him some water, dude. What's with me and using the word 'dude' lately? Sonny talks about Dante and then talks about his history with abuse. He didn't want it to happen to anyone he loved and he thinks he's failed because he let his daughter go through the same thing. Carly gives him a hug.
Kristina, meanwhile, is sitting at the lake house looking at her black eye in the mirror and flashbacking to the night Keifer beat her. There's a knock at the door and it's Keifer with a big ol' teddy bear that will make everything OK! She lets him in. She's still furious about the beating! The gaul! Keifer has already said he's sorry! Ickkkkkyyyynnnneessss.
Dante wants to get busy. It won't happen. Lulu is too busy asking him why he's missing the trial. They make out. Phone! It's a text from Maxie. Lulu leaves to go see Maxie. When will these two do it? I love that the 'will they or won't they have sex' mini-plot line gets more airtime than Matt doing...anything.
Court Case! Mayor Floyd banters with Diane. He thinks "the good guys will finally win one." Diane: "Where does that leave you?" Slam! Jax meets Claire at the courtroom. He wants to make sure she knows how important it is. Claire's all: "Step off dude. I'm doin' this shizznit for me. Mob Daddy's goin' down." ...Except more Claire-like. Jax likes her confidence.
Sonny has been worried about Kristina since he went off on Claudia. Come on, dude. Go take a shower. Let's get to court. Sonny regrets not killing Ethan. Sonny hates that Kristina is protecting her attacker, Ethan. He's half right.
More icky Keiferness. Alexis catches the last part of this, but nothing revealing. She actually compliments Keifer on his supportiveness. I can't wait till they all find out. I want to see Momma Davis bring Keifer down. I'd rather see her do it than Sonny. Alexis asks Keifer to leave. Before he does, he asks Kristina if he can stop by tomorrow. She says he can.
Jason can't promise not to believe someone if they might be telling the truth. Sam is appalled that Jason believes Ethan which by default means he thinks Kristina is lying. Jason thinks Kristina might be confused. Sam is taking it personally based on her own experiences which Jason understands.
Lisa is juror #3! She talks to Alice, who has fully gone gray, about the case. Alice is excited to see what it's all about. Kate drops Coleman off with a brand new wardrobe. Coleman doesn't think he'll get picked.
Claire wonders aloud to Diane where her client is. She wonders if Sonny ended up running after all.
No. He's just home. Wasting time. Carly comforts Sonny when she should be getting him dressed and shaven. She talks about Kristina and how many wonderful female role-models she has. She uncharacteristically compliments Alexis by listing her as one of those role-models. She finally pep talks him into getting ready.
Olivia brings Dante a housewarming pot roast. Lasagna? That elevator/door is dangerous since it seems like anyone can just walk in. He's still mad at Olivia but wants her to know that he appreciates how awesome she is.
In her hospital bed, Maxie wants to work but Lulu tells her to relax because Kate took the day off. Spinelli sits idly by. Maxie continues to work and then goes into a coughing fit. Spinelli pretty much orders her to stop working or talking. He asks her to put on an oxygen mask. Maxie doesn't want to wear the mask or dwell on the fact that she could die.
Spinelli thinks Maxie is in denial. She thinks it's her business but Spinelli finally mans up and tells her it's their business and they're a team. He rolls off to find and tell Robin of Maxie's latest coughing fit. Maxie gets too excited again but Lulu calms her down. Maxie doesn't want to wear the oxygen mask because she thinks it's the next step towards death although she doesn't use the word. She encourages Lulu to leave the hospital and live her life.
Dante asks Olivia if she knew about Sonny's mom. She said everyone knew to a point. He again appreciates his fierce mom.
Lulu brings Kristina over some gifts: make-up to cover her bruises. Kristina feels broken and Sam tells her the emotional bruises will heal too.
Alexis sees Ethan packing at the Haunted Star. Ethan again says he didn't do it but Alexis wants to know why he's packing. She bleeds her heart all over Ethan who can't get a word in edgewise. She leaves telling him that there's a restraining order prohibiting him from being 500 feet from Kristina.
Lisa talks to Alice more about jury duty. Alice is psyched. Lisa's not and thinks she'll be excused because she's a surgeon. Coleman, too, thinks he'll be excused. The prospective jurors get called in. Sonny finally arrives, fully dressed and shaven and hair newly dyed? Kate wishes him luck after he insults her choice of boyfriends. Inside, Claire starts to threaten Diane regarding Sonny's absence when he arrives. Where's Alexis?
Juror picking time! Claire asks Stoner Juror about his quality of life being affected by the criminal element of Port Charles. Stoner Juror is happy to have Sonny protecting his block. Dismissed! Diane asks Old Crabby Lady Witness about something legal. She doesn't like Sonny and calls him a 'maggot'. Dismissed! Dr. Niles gets questioned next. She says she has a social acquaintance with the defendant because they had dinner once. Accepted! Coleman and Alice prove themselves as unworthy jurors for different reasons. They both get accepted.
Carly tells Jason about how disastrous Sonny was earlier.
Kristina's bruises have been covered! Now she looks like she's wearing way too much purple eye-shadow. A vast improvement...
Lulu needs a hug. Dante is glad to give it to her. She's scared about Maxie. She didn't realize how close Maxie was to possibly dying.
Lulu doesn't want to take anything for granted.
Robin gives Maxie bad news: Her vitals are problematic. She finally accepts the oxygen mask.
Carly asks Jason about Ethan. She doesn't want a war between Sonny and Luke. Jason asks Carly, "What if Ethan is innocent?" Carly asks if that's possible. He tells her about the discrepancy in Kristina's story.
Ethan stupidly comes to the lake house. She warns him that he shouldn't be there because of the restraining order. He asks her why she lied.
Claire and Diane make their opening statements. Claire reveals the facts; Diane agrees that Sonny did kill his wife.

March 18 2010
At the PCPD, Mac tells Alexis that the only DNA found under Kristina's fingernails was Ethan's.
At the Haunted Star, Ethan knows this and tells Lulu that he won't even make it to trial. Lulu thinks he should wait until Luke gets back but Ethan doesn't think Luke will be coming back any time soon. He doesn't even think Luke will believe him since Lucky doesn't. He also thinks Lulu thinks he's guilty.
Jason continues to question Kristina about the timing of the attack. She flashes back to Keifer hitting her. She continues to lie and gets upset until Sonny interrupts.
Credits
Sonny calms Kristina down and chides Jason. Kristina continues to cry about Ethan. Sonny takes Jason outside. Jason says he just wanted to find out what happened but Sonny says they already know. He tells Jason that he should be "taking care of the situation". Yeah, Jason! Learn from Sonny and go shoot an innocent man! But make sure he's unarmed first! Jason tells Sonny the timeline is off. Sonny excuses Kristina's story as confusion. He talks about how hard abuse is like he's talking about himself - which he is. Sonny wants to know why Ethan is still breathing. Jason reasons that they have to be sure.
Alexis is flummoxed. She doesn't understand how Ethan or anyone could beat up her daughter. Alexis warns Mac to make sure they have enough evidence to put Ethan away because the alternative is Sonny killing Ethan.
Ethan would steal a woman's money, break her heart, lie to her face but not beat her! Oh, he has such morals! Lulu still wants Ethan to stay until Luke gets back. Ethan still thinks he's going to die at the hands of Sonny and that Luke would understand. Lulu leaves with a final warning to stay in town.
The Island! Milo hides Michael while Max greets Dante who has arrived on the island! Dante talks about how weird it is that three of Sonny's best men are vacationing while things are so crazy in Port Charles. He hears Michael in the bushes.
Nikolas tells Liz that he had a second test ordered because they both know Helena could have interfered. Liz just wants to get better and take care of her kids. Nikolas wants to know how he'll be involved.
Liz talks about getting back together with Lucky after he found out about Jake and how it was a mistake. She wants to make different choices this time. Nikolas doesn't think it's that simple. He wants to know what the arrangement will be. Liz says they'll think of some shared custody arrangement.
Max tries to get Dante out but Dante hears the noise on the terrace again. He manages to slip by them and says, "I'm just going to get Michael.." hee. Instead, an island girl slips out and blocks his path. Dante wants to cut the crap. He asks Max and Milo where Michael is.
Claire is meeting Mayor Floyd for the first time at the PCPD. She gives her condolences about his wife and he wonders if he should be impressed that she's done her research. I'm sure it was all over the news...doesn't take much research. Claire wants him to stay away from the press. He wants to help with jury selection and evidence tampering and she asks if he's on Sonny's payroll. He denies it. She thinks he's trying to get the case thrown out. He warns her that the case is impossible because nothing sticks to Sonny (true) and Sonny has Alexis and Diane working for him. She tells him that she has a star witness being rounded up.
Sonny comes back to Kristina's room and she wants to know what he told Jason to do. He apologizes to Kristina on Jason's behalf. She again tries to ask Sonny what he's going to do and Sonny avoids the subject. But finally, through tears, Kristina asks Sonny point blank not to kill Ethan.
Dante continues to try to convince Max and Milo as Michael hides. Max even scoffs at Dante's use of the word truth. He says Sonny will protect his children at all costs which kinda gives something away but Dante doesn't see it. He tells Max that Sonny's just trying to save his own ass.
Kate stops by Coleman's for a drink. And some lovin'? Yep! She gives him a kiss. Kate tells him a bit of what happened to Maxie. Coleman shows Kate a jury summons and asks how to get out of it. Juror #1!
At the Quartermaine's, Monica(!) and Edward(!) sit reading while Tracy frantically leaves a message for Luke to come back. Edward has always liked Ethan and finds it hard to believe he was the one who beat Kristina. Alice comes in humming. They all yell at her that she has stuff to do but she has jury duty. Juror #2! Oh, I'd love if all the jurors were recurring characters like maybe that Asian nurse and Alfred and Reginald. Remember Reginald??
Sam sees Jason at the hospital and they embrace. Jason asks Sam about the timing. Sam doesn't even want to think that Kristina could be lying. It's really crazy when the smartest person in the room is Jason.
Kristina cries to Sonny that she doesn't want anyone to be hurt because of her. Sonny says that she'll never have to worry about Ethan again. Missing. The. Point. Sonny. Kristina says that's Sonny's answer for everything and cites Dante as an example. She yells at Sonny for his lifestyle. She says he wanted Claudia to die. Alexis walks in on the now hysterical Kristina and wants to know what's going on. Kristina implores Alexis to tell Sonny not to kill Ethan. Alexis assures Kristina that no one will kill Ethan and that he'll be prosecuted - then - "Right, Sonny?" Hee. By the way Lexi is doing an amazing job and I hope the Emmys notice it for next year.
Alexis calms Kristina down while hinting to Sonny. Sonny finally says that the law will take care of Ethan and leaves. Kristina wants to talk to Jason because she still thinks Sonny will want Ethan dead. She again says it's her fault and Alexis tries to get it into her head that it's not. Alexis promises that no one will hurt Ethan.
At the elevator, Alexis talks to Sonny. She knows he's lying about not hurting Ethan. He admits it. He says he has to do what he has to do. Alexis has had enough and finally explodes telling Sonny that he's acting selfish (not a surprise) and doing what he wants instead of what his daughter wants. Go Nancy Grahn! Sonny says that Luke will never let it get to trial because he'll get Ethan out of the country. Alexis yells and shakes, talking about how hard it is to convince her daughter that he's not a monster and he's making it very difficult. He finally relents. Or at least pretends to.
Coleman thinks Kate is connected and can get him out of jury duty. He complains about having to go. She offers to at least buy him clothes. How nice! I want me a sugar momma like that.
Jason still thinks that Kristina could be mistaken but Sam doesn't. Lulu interrupts to have a second with Jason and Sam tells her not to "even think about defending Ethan." Sam leaves them alone. Lulu asks Jason not to kill Ethan. They both don't know the truth, but they agree they have to find it out.
Helena greets Nikolas at Wyndemere. He's not surprised to see her. He tells her that the baby is his. Helena, "What a relief. The last thing this world needs is another Spencer." HA! She wants to celebrate and tells him that she's moving in to help. She wants to help rear the kid to be a proper Cassadine.
Claire surprises Sonny at his house. She wants to postpone the trial because of what happened to his daughter. He doesn't want to delay the trial. She warns him that he's not untouchable as she leaves. He tells her that she wants to postpone the trial to find Michael and that won't happen. Claire smiles as she tells him she'll see him in court.
Alexis comes back to see Kristina and tells him that Ethan is safe for now. She offers to ask Mac to bring him back to jail since he'll be safer there. Kristina just wants everyone to leave Ethan alone and she doesn't want to press charges. Alexis takes this to mean victims of abuse are too scared to press charges but insists that Ethan needs to go to jail. Kristina says he won't do it again but Alexis says "they always do it again".
Sam comes to confront Ethan. He again says he didn't do it. And she kicks him! Kicks him! He flies over the table. He doesn't want to fight but Sam gets a few more jabs in. Ethan finally defends himself by holding her arms and of course that's when Jason comes in and threatens that if he hits her, "it'll be over." For fucks sake! Can this guy ever catch a break?
Hey, it's Spencer! Nikolas has a surprise for him. Helena thinks the surprise is her moving in. Nikolas tells Spencer that he's about to get a little brother or sister. Spencer, "Will I get a mommy too?" Awww. Nikolas says no. Spencer asks if the baby will get a mommy to Helena's amusement. He tells Spencer about Elizabeth. Helena is absolutely delighted to have a new Cassadine on the way!
Crazy cries in her straight-jacket. Oh, that's a sweatshirt.
Ethan tries to explain what happened. Sam thinks it's just a story. Jason says he's safe for now.
Alexis leaves to get Kristina lunch and Kristina flinches when Alexis touches her. She flashbacks again to Keifer beating her as she drinks her giant slushee.
Milo dances with the Island girl as Max talks to Michael. Max assures Michael that everything will be fine.
Dante visits Sonny - seriously, how far away is this island? He tells Sonny he was at the Island. Sonny says he can go there anytime he wants. He tells Sonny they don't need Michael and Claire has enough to put him away.
-end
At the Haunted Star, Ethan knows this and tells Lulu that he won't even make it to trial. Lulu thinks he should wait until Luke gets back but Ethan doesn't think Luke will be coming back any time soon. He doesn't even think Luke will believe him since Lucky doesn't.

Kate stops by Coleman's for a drink. And some lovin'? Yep! She gives him a kiss. Kate tells him a bit of what happened to Maxie. Coleman shows Kate a jury summons and asks how to get out of it. Juror #1!
At the Quartermaine's, Monica(!) and Edward(!) sit reading while Tracy frantically leaves a message for Luke to come back. Edward has always liked Ethan and finds it hard to believe he was the one who beat Kristina. Alice comes in humming. They all yell at her that she has stuff to do but she has jury duty. Juror #2! Oh, I'd love if all the jurors were recurring characters like maybe that Asian nurse and Alfred and Reginald. Remember Reginald??
Sam sees Jason at the hospital and they embrace. Jason asks Sam about the timing. Sam doesn't even want to think that Kristina could be lying. It's really crazy when the smartest person in the room is Jason.
Kristina cries to Sonny that she doesn't want anyone to be hurt because of her. Sonny says that she'll never have to worry about Ethan again. Missing. The. Point. Sonny. Kristina says that's Sonny's answer for everything and cites Dante as an example. She yells at Sonny for his lifestyle. She says he wanted Claudia to die. Alexis walks in on the now hysterical Kristina and wants to know what's going on. Kristina implores Alexis to tell Sonny not to kill Ethan. Alexis assures Kristina that no one will kill Ethan and that he'll be prosecuted - then - "Right, Sonny?" Hee. By the way Lexi is doing an amazing job and I hope the Emmys notice it for next year.
Alexis calms Kristina down while hinting to Sonny. Sonny finally says that the law will take care of Ethan and leaves. Kristina wants to talk to Jason because she still thinks Sonny will want Ethan dead. She again says it's her fault and Alexis tries to get it into her head that it's not. Alexis promises that no one will hurt Ethan.
At the elevator, Alexis talks to Sonny. She knows he's lying about not hurting Ethan. He admits it. He says he has to do what he has to do. Alexis has had enough and finally explodes telling Sonny that he's acting selfish (not a surprise) and doing what he wants instead of what his daughter wants. Go Nancy Grahn! Sonny says that Luke will never let it get to trial because he'll get Ethan out of the country. Alexis yells and shakes, talking about how hard it is to convince her daughter that he's not a monster and he's making it very difficult. He finally relents. Or at least pretends to.
Coleman thinks Kate is connected and can get him out of jury duty. He complains about having to go. She offers to at least buy him clothes. How nice! I want me a sugar momma like that.
Jason still thinks that Kristina could be mistaken but Sam doesn't. Lulu interrupts to have a second with Jason and Sam tells her not to "even think about defending Ethan." Sam leaves them alone. Lulu asks Jason not to kill Ethan. They both don't know the truth, but they agree they have to find it out.
Helena greets Nikolas at Wyndemere. He's not surprised to see her. He tells her that the baby is his. Helena, "What a relief. The last thing this world needs is another Spencer." HA! She wants to celebrate and tells him that she's moving in to help. She wants to help rear the kid to be a proper Cassadine.
Claire surprises Sonny at his house. She wants to postpone the trial because of what happened to his daughter. He doesn't want to delay the trial. She warns him that he's not untouchable as she leaves. He tells her that she wants to postpone the trial to find Michael and that won't happen. Claire smiles as she tells him she'll see him in court.
Alexis comes back to see Kristina and tells him that Ethan is safe for now. She offers to ask Mac to bring him back to jail since he'll be safer there. Kristina just wants everyone to leave Ethan alone and she doesn't want to press charges. Alexis takes this to mean victims of abuse are too scared to press charges but insists that Ethan needs to go to jail. Kristina says he won't do it again but Alexis says "they always do it again".
Sam comes to confront Ethan. He again says he didn't do it. And she kicks him! Kicks him! He flies over the table. He doesn't want to fight but Sam gets a few more jabs in. Ethan finally defends himself by holding her arms and of course that's when Jason comes in and threatens that if he hits her, "it'll be over." For fucks sake! Can this guy ever catch a break?
Hey, it's Spencer! Nikolas has a surprise for him. Helena thinks the surprise is her moving in. Nikolas tells Spencer that he's about to get a little brother or sister. Spencer, "Will I get a mommy too?" Awww. Nikolas says no. Spencer asks if the baby will get a mommy to Helena's amusement. He tells Spencer about Elizabeth. Helena is absolutely delighted to have a new Cassadine on the way!
Crazy cries in her straight-jacket. Oh, that's a sweatshirt.
Ethan tries to explain what happened. Sam thinks it's just a story. Jason says he's safe for now.
Alexis leaves to get Kristina lunch and Kristina flinches when Alexis touches her. She flashbacks again to Keifer beating her as she drinks her giant slushee.
Milo dances with the Island girl as Max talks to Michael. Max assures Michael that everything will be fine.
Dante visits Sonny - seriously, how far away is this island? He tells Sonny he was at the Island. Sonny says he can go there anytime he wants. He tells Sonny they don't need Michael and Claire has enough to put him away.

March 17, 2010
Happy St. Patrick's Day! And Happy Birthday to my friend Steve who had me out drinking late last night. Kudos to you, Steve!
Lulu visits Wyndemere and Alfred's fake-ass British accent offers her a drink. Nikolas dismisses him. He and Lulu discuss Ethan and Kristina. They're sad to hear about Ethan but Nikolas called Lulu to talk about Elizabeth. He knows Lulu is still pissed about what he did to Lucky. Nik tells Lulu that the paternity test is coming in today and he thinks he's the daddy.
Lucky brings Ethan out of holding. Tracy bailed him out. I guess no one killed him in the middle of the night. Lucky thinks Ethan may be safer in lock-up.
Sam has brought Kristina coffee but it hurts to drink. She warns Kristina that the police are going to be coming soon to ask about Ethan. Keifer eavesdrops outside.
Alexis comes to visit Jason regarding Ethan. She tells Jason that he can't kill Ethan.
Credits
A pissy Lulu thinks Nikolas may be jumping the gun. Nikolas reminds her that the odds are in his favor which only makes her more pissy about the whole thing. Nikolas insists he just wants to give the baby a good life. Lulu brings up Spencer and Nikolas' lack of parenting skills. I love when they do that. They argue about his intentions and about Elizabeth. She thinks Elizabeth is a liar and he insists he's in love with her.
Tracy thinks the PCPD is incompetent (she's not wrong) and Lucky thinks there's way too much evidence stacked up against Ethan. Lucky makes a convincing argument for police protection but Ethan's pride tells him 'no way'.
Alexis implores Jason not to kill Ethan because she thinks if Ethan dies, Kristina will blame herself and won't recover.
Kristina doesn't want to think about it and Sam tries to convince her that none of it is her fault. Kristina's worried about her face. Sam wants to prepare her for the police. She wants her to be honest with them. Key word there, Kristina: honest. After Sam explains how important it is that Kristina gets her attacker, Kristina feigns tiredness to get Sam to leave. OK, maybe it's not completely fake tiredness but she does seem to just want to be alone. After Sam leaves, Keifer comes in. He locks the door and Kristina is visibly scared.
Sidebar: There has been a lot of discussion about what a douche-baggery thing Kristina is doing by naming Ethan as her attacker. Other's argue that it's not her fault because she's scared. And I get that - I really do. She doesn't want to turn Keifer in because she's terrified of him and again, I get that. It's a natural response as a victim of abuse. But I still don't get naming Ethan. He's someone who has helped her in the past and sure Kristina was mad at him but she doesn't seem the type who to be that vindictive. If she was going to lie, she could've just said that she got mugged or something.
Anyway, back from the commercial break, we're in another hospital room: Maxie's. Johnny is once again Maxie's hero because he brought her a mango juice. Slushie? Something with mangos in it. Spinelli sits outside listening. He's dejected because he only brought coffee. Wah-Wah. He listens to Maxie shower Johnny with compliments and then rolls away. At the nurse's station, Robin asks him how he's feeling after his surgery. When did he get surgery? Apparently Lisa operated on his achilles. Robin knows that he wants to visit Maxie but he informs her that Maxie was busy with Johnny. Robin tries to cheer him up. Spinelli moans on. Even Epiphany tells him to quit bitchin'.
Keifer apologizes about what he did. Kristina is incredibly scared, listening to his pathetic cries. Through sobs, Kristina says, "I thought you were going to kill me." She wants to know how he could do that to her. He cliches that he hates that he did it. He wants to know why she's protecting him. Good question.
Tracy wants Ethan to run. Ethan wants to stick around and clear his name. They wonder who could do that to Kristina. Ethan says he'll find out! I smell a mystery! Tracy barely believes him. She says he's going to have to try really hard to convince everyone else.
Spinelli finally rolls in. Johnny makes a joke about rescuing Spinelli again which was meant sweetly but probably the wrong thing to say around Spinelli's wounded ego. Johnny excuses himself. Before he leaves, Spinelli thanks him again. Maxie says she's doing fine but Spinelli moans on again. Maxie seems sick of his self-doubt...as are we. She says, "The only one who thinks you're not good enough for me is you." And Mac...and I'm sure others.
Lucky is at the PCPD putting a rush on the DNA results for Kristina. Nikolas pops by. He tells Lucky that he's picking up Elizabeth from Shadybrook soon and will be meeting with Epiphany to hear the results. He wants Lucky to go with them. Lucky says he's busy and to phone him with the results. Nikolas is astonished that Lucky wouldn't want to be there to hear if he's the father. Lucky says he knows that Nikolas will be the father.
Jason comforts Sam at home. Sam thinks it's all her fault because Kristina is trying to emulate her.
Keifer thinks Kristina is protecting him because she loves him and knows how sorry he is. He wants to know if she can forgive him. She doesn't know if she can but she knows she doesn't want him to die. But she doesn't mind if Ethan does? She knows Sonny would have killed him if he knew it was Keifer. He thanks her for saving his life. Alexis comes in. I thought he locked the door. Alexis asks him to leave because it's too soon for visitors. After he does, Kristina sobs uncontrollably telling Alexis she shouldn't have lied.
Of course she's not talking about lying about Ethan. She's talking about lying to Keifer. She goes on about how she lied to Keifer and starts in on the events following and it almost seems she's about to confess but Alexis calms her down saying it's not her fault. Kristina wants to know what's going to happen to Ethan. Alexis says he'll be prosecuted.
Keifer and his parents come down to the police station. Mom looks totally familiar. I'll find out later. Keifer's impatiently asks why Lucky brought them out there in the pompous rich person way you really only see in movies. Lucky explains the situation. They agree to let Keifer answer questions. I thought Lucky had a conflict of interest in this case?
Spinelli and Maxie actually seem to be having fun and laugh together until Mac comes in and spoils it. Then the yelling and the coughing start. Mac says he'll come back when Spinelli is gone.
Nik picks up a more visibly pregnant Elizabeth from Shadybrook. They act civilly towards each other and even Elizabeth apologizes knowing things have been tough for him.
At the Metro-Court, Claire asks a passing-by-Carly if she's heard from Michael. Carly: "He's unreachable". Claire subtly insults Carly's parenting skills. Claire and Carly have some words until Jax drops by with Olivia. Carly leaves snarkily telling Jax to take care of his 'friend.' Claire tries to get statements about Michael driving the night of Claudia's murder from Olivia and Jax. Olivia has nothing to add. Jax? We'll find out after the commercial.
Olivia excuses herself. Claire wants Jax's cooperation. Jax doesn't think it's a good idea to be put on the stand. She wants him to use his resources to get Michael. Jax thinks they have enough evidence. They don't. She tries to convince him that they need Michael. After she leaves, Carly corners Jax about how Claire is a 'threat to Michael'.
Robin and Epiphany fuss over Maxie. Maxie wants Robin to talk to Mac about Spinelli. She also wants to know when she'll be out of there. Robin says Maxie is staying put for now.
Lucky continues to question Keifer about the night Kristina was beaten. He's interrupted by Mac who wants to talk to Lucky about the Corinthos case. Mac name-drops Mayor Floyd who is apparently friends with the "Bauers". Lucky: "Shock." Hee. Lucky wants to continue the interview. The Bauers don't want anything to do with Kristina and her family. They leave. Mac assures Lucky that they'll have DNA evidence soon. Lucky tells Mac that he needs to run to GH.
Jason visits Kristina at the hospital. Jason wants to lend an ear.
Helena informs Alfred that she's taking over some of the rooms at Wyndemere.
Epiphany asks Nikolas and Elizabeth to wait. Elizabeth asks Nikolas if Lucky is coming. He says he spoke to him and Elizabeth guesses that he isn't coming.
Larry the Lab Tech delivers the baby daddy news. Epiphany walks the envelope over. She opens it up and reads while Lucky eavesdrops. When the news that Nikolas is the father is read, there are two disappointed faces and one happy one. You can guess which is which.
Lulu catches Ethan taking cash from Luke's desk. Lulu thinks running will make Ethan look more guilty. I thought he decided earlier that he wanted to find out the real culprit.
Mac comforts Alexis at the PCPD. The DNA results have come in! How convenient!
Jason wants to know what happened directly from Kristina. Kristina slips up by saying that Ethan came by immediately after Sam left. But Jason knows that Sam was with Ethan at the Haunted Star after she left the lake house! Encyclopedia Brown, you've done it again!

March 16 2010
It's a beautiful day in NYC - let's see how it is in Port Charles.
Elizabeth is a bit put off but also a little relieved that Nikolas used his influence to speed up the paternity results. Nikolas guesses that she wants the dad to be Lucky.
Helena makes us wait to find out the results. She makes Larry the lab technician all but swear on a bible that the test results are accurate. She opens the results and has a happy look on her face. So I guess it's Nikolas...or....not.
Sam talks to Jason about Ethan and Kristina.
Ethan tells Tracy that he tried to be nice to Kristina. Tracy wants to know how nice.
Kristina confirms/lies that Ethan was the one who beat her. Lucky wants to know why but Sonny just slips out quietly. I really hope she's just confused and not lying.
Credits
So the baby daddy is...Lucky! Whoa, talk about beating those odds. Lucky finally has a little one. Helena thinks it's great. She wants everyone else to know that the baby is a Cassadine so she can raise the baby to hate all things Spencer. Even Spencer Cassadine? See...they should never have named Spencer that because it's just so confusing.
Liz lies that she just wants to know the baby is healthy and she wants to raise the child as a single mother. Nikolas finally makes her admit that life would be easier for her if Lucky were the father since Lucky is a dad to Jake and Cam anyway.
Sam tells Jason all about Ethan and Kristina. Sam thinks its her fault that Kristina is trying to be a bad girl slut.
Kristina tells Lucky and Alexis what happened at the Haunted Star. Then she lies about Ethan coming to the house. Lucky realizes that Sonny is gone.
Ethan tells Tracy about what happened earlier in the night at the Haunted Star and later at the lake house. Tracy leaves and Ethan has a drink at the bar. Sonny holds a gun on him. I hope he doesn't adhere to his 'shoot first and ask questions later' rule that he usually has. Sonny accuses Ethan of beating Kristina. Ethan insists he didn't do it and Sonny asks if he's calling his daughter a liar. Um...Yes. Dante comes in and intervenes, "You pull that trigger and I guarantee he won't say he shot himself." Heh.
Crazy actually cracks a joke and Nikolas is happy to see her smile. Larry the Lab technician calls Nikolas on his cell and tells him that the test results have been delayed and will be ready tomorrow.
Sam thinks everything is her fault but she hasn't even heard about the beating yet. Alexis calls her and tells her that Ethan beat Kristina up.
Alexis goes into Kristina's room and comforts her by telling her how bad she looks. Kristina thinks it's her fault but Alexis assures her that it's not.
Sonny is one pissed father and wants Dante to leave. Ethan tries to defend himself but Sonny isn't hearing it. Lucky and Tracy come back. Lucky orders Dante to put the gun down. He doesn't. Isn't this where you shoot the suspect? Get your guns on him, Dante and Lucky! Lucky tells Tracy that Kristina ID'd Ethan has her attacker.
Lucky tries to talk Sonny down. Ethan explains the cuts on his face. Sonny gets on his diatribe about men who beat women. He tells Ethan that he's going to pay and then leaves. Ethan frantically tells the rest of the crew that he didn't hit Kristina. Dante wants to know why she would lie. Then there's all this confusion about what Ethan should and shouldn't say. Lucky encourages Ethan not to talk but he insists on defending himself. After he says he grabbed Kristina's arm, Lucky says he needs to place him under arrest.
Alexis wants to know what happened with Keifer since Kristina was supposed to be with him tonight. She avoids the question and Alexis let's it go. Sam comes in. They talk about how Sam found her at the metro court and about what happened at the Haunted Star. She tells Kristina and Alexis about her talk with Ethan later which should exonerate him based on timing alone. Sam says it's her fault. Kristina says it's her fault. Finally Sam says it's all on Ethan.
Ronnie has called Johnny in. He's not arresting Johnny for his recent activities but wants him to stay out of trouble. He wants Johnny to testify against Sonny.
Sonny tells Jason about Kristina. Jason thinks it's good that Lucky called Dante to stop Sonny. Sonny orders Jason to kill Ethan. Jason wants to know what he's going to tell Luke.
Elizabeth is talking to Cam and Steven on the phone. After she hangs up, Helena comes in. She tries to get all chummy with Liz.
Lucky takes Ethan into the interrogation room with Ethan arguing the whole way. He asks Ronnie for a minute which gives Johnny opportunity to get in to see Ethan. Ethan tells Johnny what he's been accused of.
Kristina and Sam have a heart to heart about pain, both the physical and the emotional kind.
Tracy implores Luke's voicemail to call her back. Alexis comes in with firey-mom-eyes demanding to see Luke. Tracy is sympathetic to what happened to Kristina but still believes Ethan. Alexis tells Tracy to get Luke to reach her soon and to get Ethan to turn himself in to the police because as much as she would love to see Sonny kill her daughter's attacker, she doesn't want Kristina to go through that.
Jason and Sonny discuss the pros and cons of killing Luke's son. He continues his, 'shoot first, ask questions later'. Consequences, be damned! He actually thinks Luke would understand and would do the same thing if the positions were reversed. Sonny: "Ethan dies tonight!" But...he just made the opening credits!
Lucky comes in to see Ethan. He immediately jumps in to defend himself. Lucky advises him not to say anything until he has a lawyer. Who's going to defend him? Alexis is Kristina's mother, Diane is Sonny's lawyer and Claire is a federal prosecutor with a lot on her plate at the moment. Lucky can't even take his statement because they're brothers. Lucky lays out all the evidence stacked up against him. Ethan is understandably frustrated.
Jason leaves a message for Spinelli. Johnny stops by. He wants to talk about Ethan. He tells Jason that he doesn't think Ethan did it.
Kristina flashbacks to Keifer pummeling her. OK, so she's definitely not confused. Dante comes in to see his little sister. He tells her that Ethan will be brought to justice. She's glad he's her brother.
Alexis is back at the hospital. Sam wants to talk to her about the sex talk she had with Kristina months ago. Alexis is floored that Kristina is sexually active. Sam, again thinks it's all her fault.
Sonny visits Kristina who is asleep. He asks Dante to be alone with his daughter. Dante leaves but watches from the doorway. Kristina's situation reminds Sonny of his mother.
Lucky doesn't know whether to believe Ethan or not. Ethan says even though Lucky is his brother, they don't know each other well but he says he'd never do something like this. Lucky admits he hasn't had the best judgement when it comes to brothers lately. Ethan is disgusted that Lucky thinks he's guilty.
Johnny believes what Ethan told him. Jason wants to know why Kristina would lie. Johnny brings up the fact that she lied about running Claudia off the road. He asks Jason not to kill Ethan until he's absolutely sure.
Keifer comes back to the scene of the crime. Molly let's him in and tells him what he already knows except the lie about Ethan being the culprit.
Dante continues to watch Sonny at his daughter's bedside. Sonny talks about his mom's beatings. I'm not paying attention to most of it because he looks seriously jaundiced. Bad lighting or bad tan? You decide.
What, no PSA?

Crazy actually cracks a joke and Nikolas is happy to see her smile. Larry the Lab technician calls Nikolas on his cell and tells him that the test results have been delayed and will be ready tomorrow.
Sam thinks everything is her fault but she hasn't even heard about the beating yet. Alexis calls her and tells her that Ethan beat Kristina up.
Alexis goes into Kristina's room and comforts her by telling her how bad she looks. Kristina thinks it's her fault but Alexis assures her that it's not.
Sonny is one pissed father and wants Dante to leave. Ethan tries to defend himself but Sonny isn't hearing it. Lucky and Tracy come back. Lucky orders Dante to put the gun down. He doesn't. Isn't this where you shoot the suspect? Get your guns on him, Dante and Lucky! Lucky tells Tracy that Kristina ID'd Ethan has her attacker.
Lucky tries to talk Sonny down. Ethan explains the cuts on his face. Sonny gets on his diatribe about men who beat women. He tells Ethan that he's going to pay and then leaves. Ethan frantically tells the rest of the crew that he didn't hit Kristina. Dante wants to know why she would lie. Then there's all this confusion about what Ethan should and shouldn't say. Lucky encourages Ethan not to talk but he insists on defending himself. After he says he grabbed Kristina's arm, Lucky says he needs to place him under arrest.
Alexis wants to know what happened with Keifer since Kristina was supposed to be with him tonight. She avoids the question and Alexis let's it go. Sam comes in. They talk about how Sam found her at the metro court and about what happened at the Haunted Star. She tells Kristina and Alexis about her talk with Ethan later which should exonerate him based on timing alone. Sam says it's her fault. Kristina says it's her fault. Finally Sam says it's all on Ethan.
Ronnie has called Johnny in. He's not arresting Johnny for his recent activities but wants him to stay out of trouble. He wants Johnny to testify against Sonny.
Sonny tells Jason about Kristina. Jason thinks it's good that Lucky called Dante to stop Sonny. Sonny orders Jason to kill Ethan. Jason wants to know what he's going to tell Luke.
Elizabeth is talking to Cam and Steven on the phone. After she hangs up, Helena comes in. She tries to get all chummy with Liz.
Lucky takes Ethan into the interrogation room with Ethan arguing the whole way. He asks Ronnie for a minute which gives Johnny opportunity to get in to see Ethan. Ethan tells Johnny what he's been accused of.
Kristina and Sam have a heart to heart about pain, both the physical and the emotional kind.
Tracy implores Luke's voicemail to call her back. Alexis comes in with firey-mom-eyes demanding to see Luke. Tracy is sympathetic to what happened to Kristina but still believes Ethan. Alexis tells Tracy to get Luke to reach her soon and to get Ethan to turn himself in to the police because as much as she would love to see Sonny kill her daughter's attacker, she doesn't want Kristina to go through that.
Jason and Sonny discuss the pros and cons of killing Luke's son. He continues his, 'shoot first, ask questions later'. Consequences, be damned! He actually thinks Luke would understand and would do the same thing if the positions were reversed. Sonny: "Ethan dies tonight!" But...he just made the opening credits!
Lucky comes in to see Ethan. He immediately jumps in to defend himself. Lucky advises him not to say anything until he has a lawyer. Who's going to defend him? Alexis is Kristina's mother, Diane is Sonny's lawyer and Claire is a federal prosecutor with a lot on her plate at the moment. Lucky can't even take his statement because they're brothers. Lucky lays out all the evidence stacked up against him. Ethan is understandably frustrated.
Jason leaves a message for Spinelli. Johnny stops by. He wants to talk about Ethan. He tells Jason that he doesn't think Ethan did it.
Kristina flashbacks to Keifer pummeling her. OK, so she's definitely not confused. Dante comes in to see his little sister. He tells her that Ethan will be brought to justice. She's glad he's her brother.
Alexis is back at the hospital. Sam wants to talk to her about the sex talk she had with Kristina months ago. Alexis is floored that Kristina is sexually active. Sam, again thinks it's all her fault.
Sonny visits Kristina who is asleep. He asks Dante to be alone with his daughter. Dante leaves but watches from the doorway. Kristina's situation reminds Sonny of his mother.
Lucky doesn't know whether to believe Ethan or not. Ethan says even though Lucky is his brother, they don't know each other well but he says he'd never do something like this. Lucky admits he hasn't had the best judgement when it comes to brothers lately. Ethan is disgusted that Lucky thinks he's guilty.
Johnny believes what Ethan told him. Jason wants to know why Kristina would lie. Johnny brings up the fact that she lied about running Claudia off the road. He asks Jason not to kill Ethan until he's absolutely sure.
Keifer comes back to the scene of the crime. Molly let's him in and tells him what he already knows except the lie about Ethan being the culprit.
Dante continues to watch Sonny at his daughter's bedside. Sonny talks about his mom's beatings. I'm not paying attention to most of it because he looks seriously jaundiced. Bad lighting or bad tan? You decide.
What, no PSA?

March 15 2010
Beginning week three of unemployment. On the plus side, I'm eating like a horse. YAY!
Sam gives Ethan an earful about staying away from Kristina. He tries to defend himself but then Sam goes off about Ethan physically hurting Kristina. Ethan is surprised to hear about 'bruises'.
Back at the real house of physical violence, Kristina tries to crawl away from Keifer and it's just a really awful scene of Keifer pushing Kristina down over and over.
More manhandling! Helena manhandles the lab tech, Larry. She wants to know where the results to the paternity test are since she paid him to be able to see them first. He says they'll be ready in an hour but they're interrupted by Steven. He shoos Larry the lab tech away and asks Helena what business she has with the lab.
Lucky has been summoned to Crazy's room. She asks Lucky if he wants the baby to be his.
Jason wants to talk to Sonny in private. Dante tries to get more info on Michael's whereabouts. He implores Sonny to do the right thing.
Wow, five scenes in the teaser which brings us to....credits!
Helena doesn't appreciate impertinence! Thanks for always upping my vocabulary, Helena. She tells Steven that it's her family's money that's paying for the hospital and she can talk to whomever she pleases. She even threatens him with talk of skeletons in closets. Looks like Steven may have one. Who am I kidding, everyone in Port Chuck has one. Or three.
Lucky avoids Crazy's question by being vague and saying the right thing. She wants a real answer. He gives it to her: "I want to be away from you, Elizabeth." He thinks a kid will keep them trapped in something that doesn't work. She tries to accept the truth with a smile but gets him out of there.
Kate and Lulu rush Maxie to the hospital. Epiphany and Robin aren't happy with her. Kate even uncharacteristically takes the blame for being bitch-boss. Maxie tells them she's OK and just wants drugs but Robin asks Epiphany to page Monica(!), the cardiologist. Maxie looks scared for the first time.
Sonny tells Dante he's helping Michael "the best way [he] knows how." Well....Dante is giving you a better way! See how that works? Jason says that Sonny doesn't have to justify anything. Sonny and Jason argue whether Dante is welcome in Sonny's house. Dante thinks that Sonny is just protecting himself from going to prison. After Dante leaves, Jason wants to know if Sonny was planning on telling his son the truth.
Sam confirms that Kristina has bruises. Ethan tells her everything that happened with Kristina earlier but Sam doesn't quite believe him. Luke tries to intervene but Sam and Ethan continue to tear into each other's throats. Luke finally tells Sam that although he thinks Ethan could have handled it better, everything he said was true. Sam thinks it's a case of male chauvinism saying "she got what she deserved."
Poor Kristina is sobbing on the floor with bruises while Keifer really goes off the deep end, crying and saying awful cliche things like, "Look what you made me do". And while his whole act is cliche, it's still pretty accurate. He runs off while my stomach turns.
Kate asks Robin how Maxie is. Robin tells Kate that physically it's too early to tell but then snits about how she's doing emotionally due to work. After she walks off, Lulu tries to comfort Kate by telling her that they're used to her bitchy-bossness. But Kate's heart grew three sizes that day. She says that maybe they shouldn't take that from her. She gives Lulu the night off.
Spin rolls by and Lulu points him to Maxie's room. Inside, he starts to go ballistic about all the tubes and machines but Monica(!) tells him to dial it down. Maxie tells him not to worry.
Sam is very tiring criticizing Ethan and Luke. Ethan tries to defend himself again and leaves. Luke tells Sam that Ethan would never take advantage of an underage girl but Sam thinks he doesn't know that much about Ethan. She warns Ethan again before leaving. Luke tells Ethan that he has to keep his temper in check. Ethan says he needs to handle this on his own. He goes off, presumably to find Kristina. Oh gosh, I sense bad things.
Alexis and Molly are enjoying a sundae at Kelly's. Mmmm. That looks good. They talk about reading and writing and Alexis mentions her dad. Mikos, right? She waxes on a little about her childhood without really revealing anything. Dante comes by and sits with the girls. Molly talks about how awesome it is sitting with two people who are highly involved with Sonny's trial. She wants to know the inside scoop from them. Precocious little brat, ain't she?
Sonny doesn't know what's right anymore! That's quite an admission. Sonny thinks Dante would be compassionate if he knew the truth. Jason thinks Sonny doesn't want Dante to think that he's capable of beating a woman to death.
Sonny admits he doesn't want Dante to think of him as an abuser of women. But a killer of women is OK? I know Sonny didn't kill Claudia, but he would have. He wasn't just going to let her go. And didn't he kill Faith too? This is going to give me a headache if I think about it too much. He talks about Deke and his mom. Jason implores Sonny not to tell Dante the truth. After Jason leaves, Sonny calls Michael.
Molly is nosy and tactless but she makes for wonderfully awkward situations. Dante tells her he can't really discuss the case which she understands. Molly goes on about family which Dante says is the best part about the whole mess. He's always wanted to have brothers and sisters and a cute little annoying cousin. He also says that hell will freeze over before he calls Sonny, 'dad' and mean it. I'm glad he added the last part because he did call Sonny 'dad' the other day. But didn't mean it.
Lucky comes in and calls Dante over. Although he doesn't want to admit it, Dante thinks Michael will be the star witness for the prosecution.
The Haunted Star has been cleaned out. Tracy comes in and congratulates Luke on a great night. She sees that Luke isn't too happy. He's "sick of [himself]" and "stuck in parental hell". Hee. Tracy feels his pain. He tells Tracy about Ethan's stalker, Kristina.
Ethan is at the Davis house and finds Kristina on the floor. He carries her out of the house but not before she deliriously strikes out at him.
Dante and Lucky want to find Michael. They talk about the Corinthos clan and how all this must be tearing Michael up inside. Lucky gets a phone call and Lulu stops by Kelly's. Lucky leaves to interview an assault victim, presumably Kristina. Lulu thinks he's working too hard to get away from the Elizabeth drama. She also hopes that he's not her baby daddy.
Nikolas pops by to see Crazy. She tells him about the conversation she had with Lucky.
Luke tells Tracy about what happened between Ethan and Kristina although it seems that most of the story was told during the commercial break (Thank God!). Luke: "She comes in here dressed like a baby hooker." Hee! Tracy agrees that Ethan isn't the type to take advantage of a young girl. Luke is worried about daddy Corinthos. Luke's decided he's going to stop worrying about it.
Ethan runs into the ER carrying Kristina and yelling for help.
Robin tells Patrick how worried she is about Maxie. She compares Maxie's situation to her own. She gets paged and goes off to answer it. Epiphany brings Patrick in to see Kristina. He gets Epiphany to book an OR and thinks Kristina may have head trauma. He asks Ethan what happened. Ethan says he found her like that but it doesn't look like Patrick believes him. This is giving me an icky feeling.
Jason lends an ear to Spinelli as he whines. He's come to a decision. He thinks he's bad for Maxie and wants to let her go.
Mac doesn't know who to be mad at. Maxie asks Robin for help. Robin speechifies about getting caught up with their lives and not taking care of themselves. Maxie's response is to ask for Spinelli. She wants to look for him but Mac says that's not going to happen. Monica(!) comes in and tells Maxie that she has pneumonia which is causing strain on her heart.
Dante ordered Lulu some fries to which she is extremely grateful. Grateful enough to finally give it up? Seriously - find a room. He asks her if Maxie is going to be OK. She replies, "Yeah, of course - there's no other acceptable outcome." That's such a cute little 'aww' moment. They talk about food which somehow leads to Sonny. He tells her about his conversation with Sonny which he think went well until Jason showed up. Oh gosh, he's going to find out the truth and then protect Sonny and they'll all be having dinner together by Christmas. No, Easter.
Sonny has a drink on his own. He gets a call from Patrick regarding Kristina.
Alexis comes home to see the mess. She frantically calls out for Kristina until her phone rings. It's Epiphany telling her about Kristina.
Steven tells Lucky that Kristina may not be available for questioning any time soon. He chooses to wait anyway. Steven wonders who could have done this. Patrick, "Obviously someone who doesn't know who her father is." Outside, Lucky sees Ethan and his scratched face. He tells her what happened at the Davis house. Ethan wants to take off but Lucky says he'll need an official statement. Ethan leaves anyway. Oh, the ick.
Nikolas and Crazy talk more about Lucky and his decisions. Nikolas informs her that he had the paternity test sped up and they should hear about it soon.
It's ready now! Larry the Lab Tech brings the test results to Helena. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.
Ethan pours a drink at the Haunted Star when Tracy notices his face.
Alexis and Sonny show up at the hospital. Lucky asks what happened. They all want to know who hurt her. Kristina lies and says it was Ethan. Why, Kristina, why? ICK. This whole episode was full of ick.
Time for that PSA.

March 12 2010
Dante and Lulu are foreplaying. She's really putting a lot of pressure on him for the sex to be good. Lulu is waiting for the inevitable interruption. Dante tells her to relax but now he's all nervous they're going to be interrupted.
Sonny tells Claire that the subpoena is invalid since Michael is an adult and it needs to be handed directly to him. Claire makes note that since Michael is an adult, he will be held in contempt if he doesn't show.
Keifer is going crazy outside Alexis' house.
At the Haunted Star, Ethan is really angry and is man-handling his stalker, Kristina. OK, he's wrong to lay his hand on her, but she really is kind of a nut lately.
Credits.
Jason visits Maxie in ICU. She tells him what happened with Spinelli. She's worried about Spinelli and his stupidity instead of her health. She wants him to find Spinelli to talk to him, all the while hocking up a lung.
Carly and Claire threaten each other. Claire tells them to have Michael in her office by 9AM. Carly and Sonny lie that Michael is traveling on spring break. Claire thinks that's interesting timing. Carly and Sonny say he's unreachable. Claire's pretty smart. She says all the right things, and pushes all the right buttons without stepping over that line and then she leaves with a final comment on justice. The actress nails it.
Michael watches Max and Milo getting distracted. The brothers talk about Max's flexibility....and speaking of Diane, Max tells Milo, "What happens on the island, stays on the island". That Vegas campaign has ruined many lives. In the other room, Michael opens up the door to see Bernie who ends the party. He basically orders Michael to stay on the island until the trial is over.
Dante and Lulu? Still not having sex. They talk about everything that's not stopping them. She finally takes off his shirt. And...of course, Kate calls Lulu's cell. Oh hey! It's actually Kate! Kate tells Lulu that if she doesn't have an assistant in her office in five minutes, she and Maxie will be fired. And since Maxie is stuck in the hospital...
Kristina is upset because of what she thought she overheard Ethan say. Ethan is not exactly being sympathetic but a stalker needs to hear the honest truth. Luke is sick of the show and wants them to leave. Instead, Ethan yells at Kristina to leave. After she leaves, Luke is disappointed at the way he handled the situation.
Jason finds Spinelli who sulkily sits in the middle of the hospital in his wheelchair. He tells Jason what he told Johnny which means we already had this conversation.
Carly thinks Claire is smart. Sonny thinks she's just trying to scare them. Carly thinks it's worked. Sonny: "Federal Prosecutor Walsh is going to have a few surprises when the trial starts." Rut-Roh.
Luke takes Ethan into the office. Ethan has some harsh words about Kristina. He says he had to get tough with her because Kristina wouldn't take no for an answer.
Kristina goes to the metro-court bar. She orders a Cosmo but Sam shows up and changes the order to a Shirley Temple. Kristina doesn't want to talk, but Sam notices a mark on her arm. Sam pries it out of Kristina that the mark was from Ethan.
At Mode-Lite, Kate chides Lulu for being late amongst other things including an exclusive stolen from them because Maxie was a no-show at some meeting. Kate is losing it. Lulu gets Maxie on the phone with Kate. Kate tells her that if she's not in the office in an hour, she'll be fired.
At the hospital, Jason and Carly discuss Claire and Michael.
Sonny visits Luke. He's worried about connecting with Dante. He insults Olivia and then asks Luke to see if Lulu will help out.
Claire visits Dante. She wants Dante to find Michael.
Maxie checks out of the hospital despite Epiphany's warning. Spinelli rolls in and moans some more about himself. Maxie thinks Spin is still upset and thinks it's Jason's fault for not talking to him correctly. Spin says the blame should all be on him. Maxie, frustrated, tries to tell Spinelli that it's not his fault but needs to rush off to Kate. Outside, she's not breathing great and she puts her hand on her heart like she has a pain.
Sonny blah blah blahs...I didn't know he was my son...blah blah blah...everyone lied....blah. Luke says he'll see what he can do but Lulu doesn't like when he meddles. I think it's more that Luke just doesn't like to get involved.
Dante tries to convince Claire that Michael is not needed on the stand. Claire thinks the circumstantial evidence isn't enough. She asks him what he is: the damaged son or a cop.
Sam has brought Kristina home. As they enter the house, Sam asks Kristina what she was doing with Ethan to begin with while Keifer listens. Inside, Kristina tells Sam what she did. Of course, Sam turns it into a big strong man abusing a little girl which is totally missing the point. She tells Kristina of a really stupid thing she did to a guy when she was a kid which doesn't even turn out to be true. Keifer watches from the window as Sam comforts Kristina.
Sonny finds Dante waiting for him at his house. Dante talks about his first arrest who died yesterday in prison. He said he visited the guy once in prison: The guy always had a look like he had something he was guilty about and wanted to talk about it and finally felt better when he did talk about it. Dante says he gets the same look from Michael. He implores Sonny to bring Michael back and tell the truth.
Kate yells at Lulu to get a model. She then wants to talk about Dante. She tells Lulu not to let her relationship with Dante interfere with her job. Maxie comes in. Kate yells at Maxie while she coughs. Kate tells her about what happened with the exclusive. Maxie continues to cough like she's dying.
Kristina talks about how cool Ethan is. Sam reminds her that he's older. Not ironically, Sam brings up Sonny saying Sonny wanted her to talk to Kristina. They get into daddy-issues and eww-ness. Sam offers to stay but Kristina says she can go. After she leaves, Kristina hears a knock at the door. It's Keifer: "Have fun blowing me off for Ethan, you bitch?"
Maxie, Lulu and Kate talk about layouts and funeral fonts and Dante. After Maxie goes outside, her coughing gets worse. Kate and Lulu rush out to see what's up.
Sonny wants Dante to do what's right. Maybe he should lead by example. Sonny seems like he's close to telling Dante the truth when Jason walks in.
Sam goes to the Haunted Star. She warns Ethan to stay away from Kristina.
Keifer screeches at Kristina. He smacks her and she falls to the floor. Time for another PSA!

Carly thinks Claire is smart. Sonny thinks she's just trying to scare them. Carly thinks it's worked. Sonny: "Federal Prosecutor Walsh is going to have a few surprises when the trial starts." Rut-Roh.
Luke takes Ethan into the office. Ethan has some harsh words about Kristina. He says he had to get tough with her because Kristina wouldn't take no for an answer.
Kristina goes to the metro-court bar. She orders a Cosmo but Sam shows up and changes the order to a Shirley Temple. Kristina doesn't want to talk, but Sam notices a mark on her arm. Sam pries it out of Kristina that the mark was from Ethan.
At Mode-Lite, Kate chides Lulu for being late amongst other things including an exclusive stolen from them because Maxie was a no-show at some meeting. Kate is losing it. Lulu gets Maxie on the phone with Kate. Kate tells her that if she's not in the office in an hour, she'll be fired.
At the hospital, Jason and Carly discuss Claire and Michael.
Sonny visits Luke. He's worried about connecting with Dante. He insults Olivia and then asks Luke to see if Lulu will help out.
Claire visits Dante. She wants Dante to find Michael.
Maxie checks out of the hospital despite Epiphany's warning. Spinelli rolls in and moans some more about himself. Maxie thinks Spin is still upset and thinks it's Jason's fault for not talking to him correctly. Spin says the blame should all be on him. Maxie, frustrated, tries to tell Spinelli that it's not his fault but needs to rush off to Kate. Outside, she's not breathing great and she puts her hand on her heart like she has a pain.
Sonny blah blah blahs...I didn't know he was my son...blah blah blah...everyone lied....blah. Luke says he'll see what he can do but Lulu doesn't like when he meddles. I think it's more that Luke just doesn't like to get involved.
Dante tries to convince Claire that Michael is not needed on the stand. Claire thinks the circumstantial evidence isn't enough. She asks him what he is: the damaged son or a cop.
Sam has brought Kristina home. As they enter the house, Sam asks Kristina what she was doing with Ethan to begin with while Keifer listens. Inside, Kristina tells Sam what she did. Of course, Sam turns it into a big strong man abusing a little girl which is totally missing the point. She tells Kristina of a really stupid thing she did to a guy when she was a kid which doesn't even turn out to be true. Keifer watches from the window as Sam comforts Kristina.
Sonny finds Dante waiting for him at his house. Dante talks about his first arrest who died yesterday in prison. He said he visited the guy once in prison: The guy always had a look like he had something he was guilty about and wanted to talk about it and finally felt better when he did talk about it. Dante says he gets the same look from Michael. He implores Sonny to bring Michael back and tell the truth.
Kate yells at Lulu to get a model. She then wants to talk about Dante. She tells Lulu not to let her relationship with Dante interfere with her job. Maxie comes in. Kate yells at Maxie while she coughs. Kate tells her about what happened with the exclusive. Maxie continues to cough like she's dying.
Kristina talks about how cool Ethan is. Sam reminds her that he's older. Not ironically, Sam brings up Sonny saying Sonny wanted her to talk to Kristina. They get into daddy-issues and eww-ness. Sam offers to stay but Kristina says she can go. After she leaves, Kristina hears a knock at the door. It's Keifer: "Have fun blowing me off for Ethan, you bitch?"
Maxie, Lulu and Kate talk about layouts and funeral fonts and Dante. After Maxie goes outside, her coughing gets worse. Kate and Lulu rush out to see what's up.
Sonny wants Dante to do what's right. Maybe he should lead by example. Sonny seems like he's close to telling Dante the truth when Jason walks in.
Sam goes to the Haunted Star. She warns Ethan to stay away from Kristina.
Keifer screeches at Kristina. He smacks her and she falls to the floor. Time for another PSA!

March 11, 2010
Dante comes to visit Carly at the metro court. He wants to know where Michael is. She lies and says she doesn't know.
Max and Milo are having fun on the island playing shuffleboard. Michael isn't having fun. He feels like he's in prison.
Sonny visits Alexis at his office. She, too, wants to know where Michael is and what Sonny is trying to hide.
Credits
Patrick and Lisa are cliched in the elevator. Patrick thinks Lisa did it on purpose. She insists that she didn't and what happened in the locker room was just her changing clothes. Patrick wants her to know that nothing is going to happen between them. She claims she's moved on.
Ethan is dressed like he's in a 1970's John Travolta movie. Luke approves. Tracy is giddy because they're no longer in debt. Ethan tells Tracy about his date tonight with Jennifer.
Kristina whores it up while Molly admires her. She actually looks kinda pretty, but still very young. She tells Molly she's not going to the frat party. She wants Molly to hack into Ethan and Jennifer's e-mail accounts sending a message to each of them that the other cancelled.
Alexis thinks Michael saw what happened. Sonny says he didn't. Alexis wants to know the truth and Sonny lies that he's already given it to her. He gets all haughty about his money saying he's paying her to convince the jury of "the truth" and if she can't do that, to get off the case.
Carly and Dante argue about Claudia, Sonny, Michael and Morgan. She compares him to Sonny. They both want to help Michael but have different ideas about how that should be done. Oh no she didn't: Now, Carly is actually blaming Dante for her split with Jax. She and Sonny really are kindred spirits. I....I have no words.
Maxie is still in the hospital and Robin is very worried about her. Maxie claims she feels fine and wants to return to work. Robin tells her that she needs to be monitored for 24 hours. Mac comes in wondering how Maxie ended up in a sewer. She's a little pissed at Robin, who makes no apologies for calling Mac, and tells Mac that she's fine.
Outside the hospital curtain, Spinelli admits his plan was "terrible". I can think of some better words for it. He continues to whine about Maxie not seeing him as a hero. Johnny is unbelievably sympathetic telling him that Maxie is madly in love with him and he needs to get out of his own way.
Tracy doesn't approve of Ethan's date. Luke defends her. Ethan insists they're just going clubbing. Tracy wonders why, with all the beautiful women that come into the casino, he has to choose one with mob connections. Luke: "Wiring." Ethan gets a phone call and takes it in the other room. Tracy wants to know what's with his kids and mob connections. Again Luke answers, "wiring". Ethan comes back to say Jennifer has to work. Luke has to go to Vegas. Tracy wants to come but he wants her to stay to look after the Haunted Star and make sure Ethan doesn't burn it down.
Completing her plan, Kristina calls Keifer to let him know she can't make the frat party. Molly tells Kristina that she took care of the e-mails, but she doesn't understand why Ethan doesn't just ask Kristina out if he likes her. She says they have to be discreet for now. She asks Molly for another favor. She wants Molly to tell Alexis that she went out with Keifer. They discuss the pros and cons of Ethan and Keifer and somehow Twilight makes it into the conversation which makes me cringe.
Alexis talks about the importance of why Sonny killed Claudia and that he doesn't approve of violence against women for Kristina's sake even though she thinks he didn't kill Claudia for the reasons he says.
Carly tries to guilt Dante about sending his father in prison. He thinks the police will find Michael no matter what and asks Carly if she really wants her son being brought back in police custody. Claire comes in and asks Dante if he's had luck finding Michael. Carly wants Claire to talk directly to her since she's Michael's mother but Claire says that Michael is an adult in the eyes of the law. Dante tells Claire they can convict Sonny without Michael's testimony. No, they can't. Carly leaves them to talk. Dante tries to argue that MIchael will be a disaster on the stand. Claire thinks he's just protecting his family. Carly watches from the side lines with her smushy smug little face.
Epiphany takes blood from Maxie and rushes to get it tested. Maxie insists that she's fine. Robin goes off to put a double rush on the tests after telling Mac not too worry. Spinelli comes in and Mac isn't happy to see him. Maxie yells at them not to yell. Spinelli admits that he's responsible for all of it.
Lisa philosophizes about the universe. Lisa is hot, so she takes her undershirt off which reminds Patrick of spring break.
Milo wins the shuffleboard game! Milo, Max and Michael have a three stooges moment. Michael is all whiney about his dad and whatever. "Plan" music pops up as Michael asks them if they want food. He goes to order food service but on the phone, he tells the concierge he wants to "surprise [his] father's men".
Dante doesn't think that Michael saw anything but Claire thinks getting him out of the country proves that he did. Dante continues to make excuses and Claire finally asks him if he wants to recuse himself from the case. They argue the pros and cons of putting Michael on the case. Dante gets a call from Lulu. She needs to see him.
Oh God, this episode is only half over.
Mac still wants to know what Maxie was doing in the sewer. She tells him it was a very important case. He wants to know what Johnny is doing there. She says that Spinelli texted Johnny to save them. Mac wants to know why she didn't call the police or him. He thanks Johnny for saving his daughter and then tells him to go. Johnny complies. Mac wants Spinelli to go too, but Maxie tells him to stay.
Dante tells Lulu about his conversation with Claire. She wants to show him a favor that she did for him.
So Michael did order room service for Max and Milo. Food, drinks and two Island girls. Nice. Max and Milo are glad to see what Michael has gotten them. Max, come on! What about Diane? This isn't the Sopranos.
Carly tells Sonny that she thinks Dante is coming around because he told the prosecutor that they don't need Michael's testimony. Sonny is happy about it.
Patrick and Lisa talk about the past and oh God, I'm bored. The elevator finally starts moving again. When they get out, Epiphany and Robin are waiting for them along with the maintenance man, Vern. Vern said there was a sign saying the elevator was due for maintenance but Patrick didn't see it.
Mac fights against Spinelli to Maxie and then leaves. Spinelli thinks Mac is right. He tells her that he made the case up so he could be her hero. He also tells her that Johnny was there by random chance and she could have died if he hadn't passed by.
Lulu shows Dante a new set. It's a giant loft that 'could be [his].' On a cop's salary?
Sonny tells Carly of Alexis' theory. They're both disgusted that Alexis could think that. I don't think it's that far a stretch. And is that supposed to make us feel better about Sonny? That he wouldn't beat a woman to death, but he'd shoot an unarmed cop in the chest point blank. I mean what's the difference? Claudia put a hit out on him, ended up putting a bullet in his son's head and did countless illegal mob-related acts. What did Dante do? He lied. But it's wrong to hurt Claudia because she has breasts? That's fucked up sexist logic right there. Oh and he also wants to tell Dante the truth about what happened.
Alexis arrives home to Molly's lies. They talk about going to see a DISNEY movie and how awesome it is. Shameless, shameless plug, Disney's owned ABC.
Ethan is dealing and conning. Luke and Tracy chat about Ethan's date canceling. Edward calls to summon Tracy about Alice. She leaves. The guy playing at Ethan's table accuses him of being a shark. Luke tries to smooth things over and gets him a drink on the house. He takes over dealing. Kristina shows up at the bar and asks Ethan for a drink.
Dante likes the apartment because it reminds him of Brooklyn. And again, seriously, on a cop's salary? They start to make out.
Max, Milo and Michael are limboing with the island girls. Michael takes advantage of Milo and Max's distraction and slips out.
Carly and Sonny fight about letting Dante know the truth. Claire interrupts, giving them a subpoena for Michael.
Kiefer angrily knocks on Kristina's door calling her a bitch. I really wish Alexis and Molly were home to hear this.
Ethan tries to get Kristina to leave. She delusionaly thinks that Ethan would rather be with her than Jennifer letting slip that she may have had something to do with Jennifer canceling the date. Ethan finally gets mad and takes Kristina by the arm forcing her to leave and she throws a drink at him.
