April 29 2010

Mob Restaurant: Diane comes to visit Jason and Sonny with nothing new to report. She thinks the jury is working toward a guilty verdict.

Johnny continues to subvert the law by talking with Lisa about Claudia. Instead of calling the court, Lisa tries to reason with Johnny. He speaks the truth about Sonny thinking he's above the law and says if he's acquitted, Sonny will be proven right.

Michael tells Kristina that Dante knows he killed Claudia. He tells Kristina he's going to wait for the verdict. Kristina thinks Dante is easy to talk to and cool. Michael isn't sure. Alexis barges in and wants to know what Michael is doing there.

Claire thinks Dante is obstructing justice. Dante says he's been bending over backwards to do his job.

Carly is still trying to convince Olivia to help her find Michael. Carly: "I will owe you forever." Why don't you promise to be her best friend? Or you could always try, "Pretty please with sugar on top." Oh, she also says that helping her will help Dante. I can't wait to hear how.

Credits: Bets on if Matt will show up today?

So here's how: Carly thinks if Olivia finds Michael, she'll get him out of the country and that will take the pressure off Dante. Reaching there, Mrs. Jax.

Dante, like everyone else thinks Claire is only doing this for her career. Claire just wants to do her job. They argue again about putting Morgan on the stand. Claire turns it around asking why Dante doesn't just go work for his daddy. He accuses her of bending the law. He's interested in justice!

Diane thinks a hung jury would be great. Or a hung Max. Zing! She thinks the better option is that there's a hold-out on the jury. She leaves but not before telling them to keep their cells on because a verdict can come in at anytime. Jason tells Sonny about Michael's call.

Alexis tells Michael that his being there is putting her in a terrible position. She says she has to call the authorities. Kristina yells that she needs him there.

OY, now Carly is pulling the "this is your fault and you owe me" card, which means she's getting desperate. Olivia still won't help because she's smart enough not to fall for the 'Carly and Sonny blame everyone but themselves' thing. Jax comes in and wants to know what's going on. Carly tells him. Jax agrees with Carly and tries to convince Olivia. Olivia doesn't budge...but she leaves.

Johnny continues to be inappropriate. Lisa explains her job as a juror. She says what she should do is go to the judge. Get going, girl.

Jason explains what Michael will do depending on the verdict.

Kristina argues that there's no reason to turn Michael in since the jury is already in deliberation. Alexis thinks she's in too much trouble to be harboring a fugitive. Is fugitive the right word? Anyway, she starts dialing and tells Mac that Michael is in her living room....but Michael has left.

Is Wife Swap really still on?

Carly talks about how nice it was the other night playing board games together. Jax liked it too. She admits the cover-up was a mistake. She tells him that if Michael ends up suffering because of Jax, she won't be able to forgive him.

Johnny arrives home in his new penthouse -which he didn't redecorate-exhausted. Olivia comes to see him. She tells him about Carly. Johnny finally tells Olivia that it was Michael that killed Claudia and not Sonny. (I KNEW HE KNEW!!!) He still thinks that Sonny deserves what he gets for putting it all into motion.

At the courthouse, the Judge stops a rushing Lisa. She says she got caught up and the Judge wonders if he should be concerned. She tells him no and rushes off to the room. She apologizes for being late and AngryJuror tells her she can make it up to them by changing her vote.

Sonny wants Jason to leave it alone. Jason thinks Dante will turn Michael in if Sonny is acquitted. He doesn't understand the faith Sonny has in Dante.

Ronnie comes to visit Dante. Can anyone just walk into his apartment? Ronnie of course wants Dante to turn Michael in. Dante tells Ronnie that Michael killed Claudia. Ronnie thinks Dante should just keep quiet and let Sonny go to prison.

Johnny tells Olivia that Jason told him about who killed Claudia. He says he never blamed Michael. But he still blames Sonny.

Jason still doesn't know why Sonny trusts Dante. Blah blah blah. We get it, you don't like Dante. Tired old conversation.

Dante and Ronnie discuss the law and justice and Mr. Poletti and what Sonny deserves.

Claire comes to visit Jax. She tells him that Alexis saw Michael. She says that the Judge will allow her to put Michael on the stand but it doesn't really matter since she thinks the jury will give a guilty verdict.

Alice again explains what jurors do. AngryJuror again insults Lisa for being a hold-out. Alice again defends Lisa. But apparently Lisa has been convinced. She asks for another vote.

Lulu comes back to the loft. She brings work with her because Maxie is in Milan. She asks Dante if he's made any decisions about Michael. He's been thinking about Mr. Poletti and what he would do. He talks about baseball and little league and the Yankees of course - and it would make so much more sense if Dante was a Mets fan. It would further push him and Sonny apart. He goes on and on about how awesome Mr. Poletti is - and it's all really nice to hear.

Alice passes out the ballots telling Lisa that there's no reason for her to vote if she's not ready. Lisa makes an impassioned speech about what Sonny's intentions were when he swung that axe.

At the courthouse, Claire and Carly snark at each other. Claire and her beautiful hair color purposefully lets slip that Alexis called the police after seeing Michael.

Molly comes home to Kristina. Kristina tells Molly what happened with Michael and Alexis. She tells Molly where Michael is but makes her swear not to tell anyone. They leave to drive over to see him.

Michael stands at the boathouse flashbacking to when he (didn't) hit Claudia. They never show him and Claudia in the same frame so I'm assuming they didn't get her back just to refilm the scene. Morgan comes to see him. Michael tells him that Dante knows the truth now.

A cop tells Dante that he overheard the jury and thinks they're going to find Sonny guilty.

Sonny defends his delusions that he and Dante will one day be father and son. Diane calls Sonny and tells him to come to court and that the jury reached a verdict.

Morgan and Michael hide from a noise. When he realizes it's Molly and Kristina, he let's them in. Molly wonders if Michael will tell the truth. He says he will if the court finds Sonny guilty.

Claire and her noisy heels walk into court. Sonny watches Jax enter and approaches him. Sonny blah blah blahs. Diane brings him back to the defense table. He then sees Johnny and goes to antagonize him. The mayor comes in and tells him to go back to his seat.

Outside, Carly tells Jason about Michael being found by Alexis. Back inside, Diane tells Sonny to stop antagonizing people. All rise! Court is in session! The jury files in. Will Lisa's impassioned speech help? Has the jury reached a verdict? Alice is about to answer when Dante interrupts and says he has new evidence. Claire and Diane both object! The judge warns Dante. Dante announces to the whole court that Sonny didn't kill Claudia and that Michael did. Oy! Jax, Johnny, Carly and Jason all face-palm. Sonny looks disappointed and Claire just looks confused. DUN!

April 27 2010

Alexis sits Kristina down to ask her if she wanted to have sex with RoadKill or if he pressured her.

Carly is frantic and Sonny is calm regarding Michael and Dante. Carly doesn't trust Dante. Sonny does.

Jason asks Lulu where Michael is. Dante tries to intervene, but Jason uses guilt tactics to ask Lulu again.

Maya is wondering why the son of a gangster is hiding out in the Qs boathouse. Why is she there? He tells her he's actually AJ's son and that he's hiding out. Maya wants to know why she should keep his secret. I guess cause they're cousins. Kinda. Second cousins? Thrice removed? I dunno.

Credits.

Maya introduces herself. She hasn't been in town long so she doesn't know why he's hiding out. He explains the last six months. She tells him to take all the time he needs.

Carly and Sonny argue more about Dante. Carly thinks that because he's a cop, he'll end up feeling guilty. Because cop=human? Is she saying she doesn't have feelings like normal people? What an odd statement.

Jason begs Lulu to help him 'protect' Michael.

Emma's growing up! She's walking around in a sandbox with Spencer as dads Patrick and Nikolas watch on. Nikolas is exhausted from cramming in fatherhood duties like giving juice to his son. He asks Patrick what his fatherhood secret is.

Kristina says she wanted to sleep with RoadKill, although she pretty much admits that she just wanted to make him happy. Alexis asks if RoadKill hit her before she made this decision. Kristina: "Just once but it was only a slap." Alexis:"A slap is a hit!" Oh this poor, poor damaged girl. Kristina tells Alexis the slap happened at the house. She tells the story. Alexis tries to explain what being a victim is but Kristina doesn't get it. Alexis is floored that her daughter could stay with someone who hit her and she asks Kristina why. Kristina just cries.

Elizabeth brings her sons to meet CPPP. Cameron is so cute and I'll be so upset when he's finally SORASed. Steven comes in and takes Elizabeth outside. He warns that kids can be tiring on cancer patients. Elizabeth argues that they can help. They look in on CPPP and Cameron asks her if she's dying.

Kristina admits that "Dr. Winters" said the same thing to her. She quotes Lainie by saying the key to better self-esteem is coming to terms with why she would stay with someone who hurt her. She explains why she fell for RoadKill. Alexis is exasperated; she thinks she should have known what was going on. They have a nice mother/daughter moment.

Carly is worried about Michael. Sonny thinks Michael will get used to killing people. At least that's what I got from what he said.

At the 12 angry men room, Alice reads the constitution. Really? AngryJuror wants to convict Sonny but Lisa thinks he's innocent. AngryJuror calls her a bleeding heart. UGH. Lisa explains herself. AngryJuror talks about Sonny yelling in the courtroom. Time for another vote. I have a feeling there will be more innocent votes.

Dante, Jason and Lulu all yell and argue and blah blah blah. Jason pleads to Lulu to help him but she says she honestly doesn't know where he is. Jason leaves in a huff.

Nik and Patrick's play-date: Patrick has no secrets to being a good dad. He admits he freaked out when Robin was pregnant. Nik hates that he's missed too much time with Spencer and vows he'll do better with Elizabeth's child.

Elizabeth rushes in to remove her faux pas child but CPPP jokes about the whole thing. After Liz and the kids leave, Steven talks with CPPP about her newest test results. She knows she's terminal. She just wants him to enjoy himself cause we're all dying!

Lulu feels guilty because she says Jason has been Michael's protector all his life. Dante: "Look how well that turned out." True dat, my brotha. He doesn't want Michael getting back into the mob life. Lulu still feels bad. Dante goes off to find Michael.

Carly barges into Jason's pad. He tells her that he just missed Michael at Lulu's apartment. Carly's pissed that Lulu helped Dante.

Jason tries to calm Carly down but she's pissed about Lulu.

Quartermaine Mansion: Apparently Ethan brought Tracy flowers on behalf of Luke. Tracy thinks Luke is a coward for sending his son. Monica is standing next to Ethan trying to help and Edward comes in with Maya. Tracy thinks Luke and Skye are probably somewhere fucking. Ethan assures her that they're not but she doesn't believe it. Monica thinks Luke is trying to get back into the mansion so he can pilfer it. Edward starts the whole 'my home...' followed by Monica's 'it's my house..' and no Alan to finish the lovable Q quote. Edward thinks they need to take an inventory and he's going to call the police. Maya yells that he can't.

Nik spills his heart to his new 'bro'. Patrick thinks Elizabeth is putting the blame for her and Lucky's breakup on Nikolas.

Steven and Liz talk about the boys and Cam's inappropriate question. Liz is hopeful that CPPP will go into remission. Steve thinks that Liz is getting to close to CPPP.

And here comes the Carly brigade. Lulu knows it's her before she even opens the door. Carly is pissed!

Nik talks about the Cassadines. He wants to use Alexis as a role-model for being a good parent.

Liz comes back to visit CPPP. They talk about the boys. CPPP likes Cam's attitude.

Kristina visits her dad. She talks about the whole mess and Mr. Bauer. Sonny, "Mr. Bauer won't be a problem for much longer." Seriously? Kristina freaks and Sonny assures her that that's not what he meant. They talk about abuse; Sonny tells her about Deke.

Maya explains her statement by defending Ethan. The Qs act like the Qs and Maya acts like the Emily. As the Qs argue, Maya sneaks out with food and is caught by Ethan. Michael peeks out the shades. He remembers Jason's words about keeping his mouth shut.

Lulu apologizes to Carly. Carly demands to know where Michael is. They argue about their intentions. Carly argues that it wasn't Michael's fault, that he tried to protect them. But as far as Carly knows, Lulu doesn't know the truth about Michael. Unless Sonny told her about why Dante is doing what he's doing...I must have missed that part. Anyway, Lulu defends Dante saying it's not his fault that everyone covered up for Michael. Dante walks in and tells Carly that her problem is with him. She insults Dante and Lulu and then leaves.

Happy Town! Tomorrow!

Kristina and Sonny bond. Sonny hates that she dated a guy who abused her. She says she's still working on why. Sonny tells her that he should have been there for her.

New Vote: 11 guilty, 1 not guilty - and no more undecideds so I guess Lisa has convinced no one. Angryjuror and Lisa argue. Alice steps in with "Lisa has the right to an opinion no matter how wrong it is." Ha! They quit for the day.

Lulu feels guilty about Carly but she still thinks it's not up to her. Dante doesn't know what to do.

Carly comes back to Jason and tells him he didn't get anything from Lulu. Michael calls Carly's cell. It's nice that he has a cell that has battery power....at the boathouse. Mine would have run out long ago. Carly asks him where he is. Michael says he can't tell her. He insists he's fine. He says he's awaiting the results of the trial before he decides what he's going to do.

-end

PSA from Alexis and Kristina!

April 26 2010

Carly eavesdrops on Jax buying Morgan's affections. She makes her presence known. They play 'polite' and Morgan's weirded out.

Dante and Lulu are upset that Michael's left the apartment.

NuMichael who has called Kristina is waiting. She joins him on some corner. They hug and she flinches. NuMichael tells her about Dante and she doesn't want him to tell because she can't "lose [him] too".

Jason can't trust Dante! He's a cop! There is the code. Sonny defends Dante. Jason says he's going to find Michael and get him out of the country.

Credits: How's that yellow boa working out for you, Matt?

Jealous Tracy orders Skye out. Skye has fun with Tracy by acting like Luke and sex are the two combined reasons she came back.

Jax and Carly try to explain to Morgan what's going on between them but they end up fighting. Morgan yells at them and tells them to stop acting like two years. Wise words, Morgan, wise words.

Kristina mourns Roadkill. NuMichael doesn't understand. Neither does anyone. NuMichael reminisces about Mexico. Kristina keeps talking like a victim and it's really sickening. She tells her brother all about the hitting. She asks him not to tell her how messed up that is. He doesn't. But I do: Gurrl, that's messed up.

Jason and Sonny argue more about Dante. Jason leaves before they can come to an agreement.

Dante and Lulu speculate about what Michael's next move will be. They discuss what's best for Michael. Dante makes a call.

Carly talks about how he punished Morgan and Michael once by making them play a board game with her. She gets sad about Michael and tells Jax that he's the reason why Michael's not there. They agree to put their differences aside for the kids at least for the night.

At the hospital, Elizabeth gives some candystriper(?) some orders. She catches Steven spying on her. He doesn't apologize. They look at CPPP's chart together, because Elizabeth thinks there's something her doctors are missing. After he leaves, Maya stops by. Maya's still learning the ropes and Elizabeth advises her to make friends with the nurses.

Kristina compares RoadKill to Sonny and it all gets to be even more disgusting. Daddy issues! Michael's plan? Lay low...at the boathouse. Doesn't that contradict his behavior the last few months?

Sam and Spinelli try to find Michael. Maxie overhears. She's on the phone and talks about flying to Milan tonight. Sam leaves. Maxie is worried she's going to get caught for committing perjury and just wants to concentrate on fashion. Spinelli realizes that Maxie might know more than she's said.

Lucky arrives at Lulu's apartment. Dante updates him on Michael.

Tracy yells at Skye. She accurately guesses the reason why Skye is there and although Luke denies it, she runs off threatening divorce. Skye flirts to get her way. He realizes she's laying it on thick, but it's working.

Maya and Elizabeth discuss CPPP.

Inside, Steven talks with CPPP. CPPP has a healthy attitude for having stage 4 cancer! She wants Steven to go out on a date! Enjoy life, Steven! Elizabeth comes in and CPPP tells Elizabeth to set her brother up with some blond floor nurse or Maya!

Michael says he'll turn himself in only if Sonny is convicted. Kristina freaks. He hugs her and goes off. Sam finds Kristina there. She lies that she was just out on a walk.

Back in the 12 angry men room, Alice counts the pre-votes: 7 guilty, 4 undecided and 1 not guilty. NewJuror is not happy! Alice is proud to be an American! Lisa starts talking about her doubts because the state did not prove...blah blah blah... NewJuror thinks Sonny is hiding Michael. Lisa is going to make this difficult for everyone.

Dante, Lucky and Lulu discuss Michael's guilt. Lulu thinks Sonny should go to prison because of his accumulative career. Lucky thinks she has a point. Dante thinks it might be better for Michael if he dealt with what he did. Lucky says it's up to Dante.

Alexis comes to see Sonny. She's there to give him an update. Alexis tells him that Kristina is still blaming herself (Sonny: "That's abuse!"), and that she's seeing a shrink. Sonny tells Alexis to sit Kristina down and prepare her for the fact that her dad may be going to jail. Alexis is all, 'Yeah...her mom too'. Great fucking parents she's got. Sonny thought that the hit and run charge was 'taken care of'. Alexis thinks Warren will make sure she goes to prison. Sonny thinks they should "shut him up. Permanently." Because that's his answer to fucking everything. Alexis rolls her eyes. As do I.

Liz jokes with Steven that she set him up with the blond floor nurse. She wants to talk about CPPP's 'numbers' but Steven gets interrupted by a beep. Maya comes by and they talk about CPPP's jewelry. Does she have any other patients? Maya thinks she may have a friend who would buy the jewelry.

Sam brings Kristina back to the cabin. She's proud of Kristina that she went out on her own. Blah blah blah, defense of Kiefer...and this is getting tiresome. Bleep-Blop. Sam tells Kristina that Michael is back. Kristina pretends she doesn't know.

Maxie prattles and keeps secrets. Spinelli's smart and reads between the lines. Jason arrives and she finally admits she knows where Michael is.

Lucky offers to be the one to find Michael. Dante says he'll do it.

Alexis tells Sonny he's a total asshole for even thinking that she meant for him to kill Warren. Sonny doesn't listen because he is a total asshole and says it won't be traced back to them. Because that always works. She tells him about Molly's attempt to hire Jason and jokes that they should make it a family outing. Sonny hated seeing his daughter in the hospital all beat up. Alexis thinks they need to find out why Kristina would stay with someone who hit her. Sonny says that sometimes violence is the only way. Alexis compares that statement to what RoadKill might have said. Oooh. Cold. And accurate. There's more to the conversation but I declare Alexis the winner. The end.

Steven wants to talk to CPPP about pain medication. Liz stops in and offers to get coffee. No one wants coffee. After she leaves, CPPP tells Steven that she needs Elizabeth and Elizabeth needs her. And time. And a cure for cancer.

Sam and Kristina discuss Road-Bleep-Blop.

After rambling and whatever, Maxie finally tells Jason where Michael is.

Dante is torn!

Josselyn watches intently as Jax, Morgan and Carly play some board game about a movie owned by the same company that owns GH. Jax tries to do a pirate impression. Sonny calls Carly to come over. She goes because he's Sonny and she's Carly. Also, he says it's about Michael. Jax guesses that it was Sonny on the phone.

Twelve angry men room: Another vote. So soon? Now: 8 guilty, 3 undecided and 1 not guilty. NewJuror is furious! Alice wants to put a stop to Sonny's crime wave. Lisa just wants a real story line.

Jax talks to Josselyn who just wants a toy.

Sonny fills Carly in on what's going on with Michael.

Michael is at the boathouse where Lulu lost her virginity. Maya catches him in there. Who are you? I'm Michael Corinthos III (literally!) Who are you?

Jason stops by Dante's apartment to find Michael.

-end

April 22 2010

Jason and Sam rush into NuMichael's room but it's too late.

At Sonny's pad, Diane thinks he looks smashing. She's all confident that there will be an acquittal. Sonny starts getting worried.

At the courthouse, Claire asks Jax if he's heard from Michael. Jax is staying out of the whole Michael thing. Claire is on edge.

At Dante's newly renovated pad, Dante talks to forensics on the phone and makes coffee. NuMichael tells him the forensics will prove that he killed Claudia. Lulu stops by and is surprised to see Michael looking so different.

Credits: You've already had an appearance this week, Matt - don't push it. Unless you want to finish that intriguing yellow boa story line.

The concierge(?) doesn't know where NuMichael is and tells Jason/Sam that Max and Milo are in jail. Jason asks for what but the concierge(?) doesn't know. I can't wait for Jason to find out it was for solicitation.

Jax snarks at Claire because he's a hypocrite. Claire doesn't understand why Jax is being a hypocrite for a woman who is standing by her ex-husband. Me either, Claire. Jax walks away. Carly takes his place. They slam each other. Claire mentions the kiss Sonny gave Carly....while Jax is listening.

Diane thinks the case is in the bag. Sonny is worried.

Dante tells Lulu that Michael says he killed Claudia. Michael says that Sonny is just covering for him.

Skye is at the Haunted Star to talk to Luke. They flirt. She's proud of the way they got Ethan and Kristina talking and apologizing to each other. Luke thinks Skye wants something from him. And....we still don't know why Skye is here. So let's hear it, Skye. But before she can talk, Helena pays Luke a visit.

Lucky goes to the oncology ward and meets up with CPPP. She jokes about marijuana and identifies him as a cop. He says he's looking for Liz. She knows all about Lucky. And as if on cue, Liz walks in.

Lulu doesn't understand how all of this could have been kept quiet. NuMichael: Have you met the Corinthos family? Hee. NuMichael doesn't like the fact that his dad and Jason make the rules about everything. Welcome to mob life, kiddo. Dante still thinks NuMichael is lying. NuMichael excuses himself to shower. Dante wishes he hadn't found Michael.

Claire back-hand compliments Carly. Carly straight-forwardly insults Claire. After Claire leaves, Jax comes in and says, "So you kissed Sonny." She says she didn't. He kissed her to thank her for perjuring herself. Oy. Once it comes out that Michael is the real murderer, will Carly be put away for perjury? They argue. Sonny and Diane arrive. Carly wants to be in the gallery and Diane agrees. In court, the prosecution calls Ronnie. In the jury box, Coleman laughs.

Coleman stands up cause this whole thing is bullshit, man! He's got a bar to run....man! Judge tells him to sit down and shut up. Alice offers to help sit him down. Now that's a fight I'd like to see. Coleman rambles about how the prosecution has already lost and I still can't believe Coleman was ever chosen as a juror in the first place. The judge relieves Coleman of his duties, sending him to jail for contempt, saying an alternate will replace him. At this point in the trial? How would an alternate catch up at this moment? Seems like it would be a mistrial. Coleman apologizes to Sonny before he's taken away. Claire smiles. Sonny whispers to Diane that she should try to get a mistrial. Diane: "And go through all this again?" Yeah - she doesn't want that and I don't want to recap it again.

Helena tries to remember Skye's name, "Apple? Blanket?" Hee! Skye excuses herself so that Helena and Luke can have a moment alone despite Luke's objections. They banter. They flirt. They do their little Helena/Luke thang. She wants his help to get Elizabeth out of Lucky's life.

CPPP talks and talks. They talk about wisdom and players. Lucky and Liz finally leave.

Max and MIlo realize they've been set up. They tell Jason everything they know. The concierge (?) comes in and tells them that a bellhop saw Dante take NuMichael.

Dante and Lulu talk about NuMichael and stuff. He feels guilty and he's unsure of the truth and... He tells her about The Bloody Shirt.

On the stand, Ronnie explains why Michael can't be reached for a subpoena. Photographs come into evidence. The photographs are surveillance of Michael on the island and not backpacking. He says he was forcibly removed from the island. Diane's turn. She questions the validity of the date/time stamp.

Claire begins her closing argument. She talks about Carly and the baby she brought to sway "our emotions." She adds, "I'm surprised she didn't bring a puppy too." Ha! She goes on to state the facts as she knows them.

Lucky and Liz talk about permission slips and Italian food and cute ways kids pronounce spaghetti and then about CPPP.

Luke threatens Helena. She insists she's trying to help Lucky. Luke calls himself Marie: cross-dressing consort to the Queen of Romania. What? Oh...sarcasm. Helena explains that Luke will benefit. She wants the kid to grow up Cassadine. He thinks she's insane and wants to know what she's up to.

Dante wonders if Sonny is always going to go free. He says if he hands Michael over to the courts, Sonny will go free again. Lulu wonders if the best thing to do is...nothing.

Diane gives her closing argument. She says that the trial has all been about Claire wanting a big win. Yep. The big ol' murder had nothing to do with it. She talks about how Claire put a child on the stand....because that has never happened before in the history of law cases. Alternate juror seems lost.

Luke tries to fix an old slot machine by banging it with a screwdriver. Tracy stands waiting for him to notice her. He finally does and she asks him what he knows about Helena's stay in Port Charles. He answers honestly that he doesn't know but fills Tracy in on what he does know.

Helena walks into the hospital and asks Elizabeth how she's doing. Why Elizabeth just doesn't walk away is beyond me but she allows Helena to do her thing. Helena calls her a narcissistic slut amongst other things. Lucky walks by and tells Helena to leave her alone thusly proving Helena's point that Liz is using this baby to get sympathies from her ex-husband.

The judge instructs the jury to go and deliberate. Alice is psyched. I hope this doesn't turn into a production of twelve angry men. After they leave, Jax catches up with Claire and compliments her for putting Ronnie on the stand. Carly and Sonny ask Diane what she thinks. She's a bit worried about losing Coleman. Carly gets a missed call from Jason.

Dante doesn't know what to do! Well it's a bit late, isn't it? Unless the jury can be invited back. I don't know much from the law. He wants Sonny to go to jail whether he killed Claudia or not because of all the other stuff he did. He wants Sonny to pay! Good! Dante gets a call from forensics. Yep, Michael was telling the truth. Michael, who's hair isn't wet at all, comes in and 'told ya so's Dante.

Alice welcomes everyone into the jury deliberation room. Alternate jury member says right away that he doesn't even need to sit down because Sonny is guilty! Dude, you've been on the trial for less than an hour. Alice says she's the jury foreman and everyone's going to sit down! Lisa smiles for the first time in weeks.

Jason arrives at Dante's loft. Short trip from Mexico... The loft is empty.

Lulu brings NuMichael into her apartment.

Sonny arrives home and sees Dante waiting for him. Sonny tells him the case went to the jury and all he can do now is wait. Dante says he knows Michael killed Claudia.

-end

April 21 2010

Luke and Lucky talk about Ethan. Lucky doesn't want Ethan to run since it will make him look guilty. Luke has an idea of how Lucky can help...but it may require him "losing his badge".

Oh My God! Someone's actually checking out Sonny's old penthouse! It's been years since anyone lived there! I can't wait to see it! I've missed that place. Oh and by the way, it's Johnny looking. He's with Olivia. Are they moving in with each other?

Morgan continues to listen to Jax and Claire argue about the case. Jax criticizes Claire for putting kids through hell. Claire doesn't seem offended, just miffed that everyone is a freaking hypocrite.

Dante hands NuMichael the subpoena. And I still don't get the recast. I'm sure this guy Chad is fine but there was nothing wrong with Drew.

Credits: Matt: "Why don't they just recast me?"

Nikolas visits Elizabeth at the hospital to see how she's doing. She tells him that she and the baby are fine. They talk about oncology and Emily and...weird party music comes on. They see outside that CancerPatientPlotPoint is teaching Patrick to dance the Rumba.

Morgan calls NuMichael to tell him that Dante's on his way over. Too late! NuMichael lies to Morgan that it'll be OK and Dante hasn't found him yet. Dante tells NuMichael that Max and Milo have been "taken care of".

Max and Milo? In prison. Goofy music plays. Because it's all so goofy. Apparently Milo accidently asked the guard to fuck him from behind. Accidently. Yeah.

Jason doesn't think the "owner" will sell to Johnny. Olivia thinks that'll it will help the peace process for them to live across the hall from each other. What? How? Shut up, Olivia. We don't get to see the place, because Johnny, Olivia and the real estate agent leave.

Claire sounds reasonable when she tries to explain to Jax what she's doing and why. Jax says he doesn't use children. Yes, and Sonny doesn't hit women. You're all fucking saints. Claire tries to convince Jax that Michael's testimony is a necessity. Carly enters. Claire tries to leave but Carly stops her. She's got a few things to say. Mmm Hmm.

Patrick awkwardly dances with CPPP. She finally stops the music because it's all a little too much to bear. CPPP, this is Nikolas. Nikolas - CPPP. Patrick leaves to show Robin how he can't dance. CPPP reminisces about the 40s or 20s? MATT! It's Matt! He brings CPPP a big yellow boa and then she wraps it around his neck. Awesome. Way to earn that paycheck, Matt.

Lucky doesn't want to do anything illegal. Luke compliments Lucky about being a good brother and a good cop but thinks his talent is wasted. Maya enters hoping she's not interrupting. You are. Go away. Whoa. I gave that girl about three days before I started judging her. Come on Maya, give me a reason to give you a chance. Lucky leaves, so I guess she's there to see Luke. Maya wants insight about the Qs, specifically Edward.

Maxie barges into Jason's apartment yapping her gums. Something about a sauna. Jason doesn't want a sauna. She's so wacky! She should be in jail with Max and Milo. But Jason knows something's up because he's observant.

Carly tells Claire she's going to pay for what she did to Morgan. Claire pretty much calls Carly a hypocrite for bringing Josselyn into the courtroom. Carly says Claire tried to mince her words. Again, Claire calls 'hypocrite' because Carly committed perjury for a mob kingpin who makes life hell for his kids including one of them getting shot. Instead of defending her actions, Carly rubs her testimony in Claire's face. Claire leaves but not before giving Jax a bit of advice: "Best of luck. She's a real peach." Hee! Carly: "Don't you want to follow your girlfriend?" It's not a bad idea, Jax. If I had just heard that exchange, I'd be looking at my wife a bit differently too. Like some great epiphany or something...not the nurse kind. Jax asks why Carly lied for Sonny. She says she didn't lie for Sonny. She lied for Michael. Jax says that he was the one who stopped Ronnie from catching Michael. Carly says that's because he thinks Michael's testimony will set Sonny free. He says he did it because he loves Michael and he'll always be grateful to him for saving her and Josselyn. He walks off, dejectedly.

Dante tells Michael the facts from the case that put him at the scene. NuMichael finally tells Dante that Sonny wasn't there and he killed Claudia. Oy.

Maya tells Luke that Lucky was pretty blunt about Edward. She then asks him how a "cool guy like [him] could be married to Tracy. Eww, Maya. Hitting on an old man? They discuss Tracy. Luke tells her his original intentions for Tracy. Maya talks about her sister. Luke tells her that Edward always expects something in return. She wants to know if she can trust Edward. Luke: "Hell no!"

Maxie talks about Spinelli to an uncomfortable Jason. She wants more than Spinelli. She wants someone dangerous. Blah blah blah. If it ends the Maxie/Spinelli relationship, I'm all for it. But no, she's doing this all to keep them together. Spinelli comes home.

NuMichael starts to explain everything OldMichael did but Dante tells him to stop. Dante thinks NuMichael is lying. NuMichael insists he did it. Dante wants proof. NuMichael shows him proof: the bloody shirt.

The real estate agent shows Johnny and Olivia a new apartment. I thought maybe it was Sonny's apartment but it's backwards and smaller but looks similar in design. It's incredibly tacky. Olivia doesn't know why Johnny wants a new apartment. He jokes that he's got a girlfriend he's trying to impress. He describes the amenities. Olivia "holy shit"s at the price. Oh God, I hope they redecorate. The furniture/paneling is seriously tacky.

Dante doesn't think the shirt proves anything. Michael says it's Claudia's blood and tells the rest of the story. So Sonny got rid of his shirt but not Michael's? Michael answers my question by saying he gave Sonny his clothes but hid the shirt. And Sonny didn't notice that the shirt was missing? Dante still doesn't buy it. Michael says Franco has photos. He thinks it's about time everyone stopped covering for him although because Sonny has gone through all of this, NuMichael thinks Dante should appreciate their dad more. Shut up, NuMichael.

Patrick is at Jake's drinking. He sees a drinking Claire. Patrick gets a text from Robin that she's staying home. He airs his grievances to Claire who begins to air a few grievances of her own without revealing exactly what's bothering her. Now this is a couple I might like to see.

Jax meets Skye 45 minutes late at the Metro-Court. After they sit, he tells her a little about the case and that it may not go in his favor after Carly's testimony. He also wonders if it was all worth it even if Sonny does go to prison.

Jax continues to talk about his part in Sonny's trial, including hiring Claire Walsh. He's beginning to regret hiring her since she put Morgan on the stand. Skye makes a valid point that Sonny has no boundaries, so why should the prosecuting attorney? Jax ignores the little dose of wisdom and says he could make some calls to get the case to mistrial. Skye tries to bring Jax back down to Earth, asking him why he started this whole thing to begin with. Jax: "To get my whole family out of the line of fire." Because of that, Skye advises Jax to stay the course. Hmm, leaving Port Charles makes you all sensible-like. Careful, Skye. You're back now. Jax admits there's something he can't tell Skye that might ruin his marriage more than it already is. She tells him he has to make a choice then and ask himself what's more important: the war on Sonny or his family. And...we still don't know why Skye is back.

Claire and her drink joins Patrick and his. They discuss ethics. She brings up her moral dilemma. He tells her that he knows who she is. She blames the internet. Hee. He tells her that his wife is Dr. Robin Scorpio. She guesses that he's not her biggest fan. He proves her wrong by buying her a thank-you drink.

Also at Jake's? Maxie and Spinelli. He wants to know why the decorating is so important to her. Have you met Maxie? I mean she is a fashionista. But poor Spinelli is right. There is another reason she's not telling him: the danger. Wait. Danger of interior design? I know it's something like that.

Back at Jason's pad, Sam arrives. He tells her that Maxie forced him to do the interior designing but I think he secretly enjoys picking out fabric samples. Sam gets it. It's because of the danger. And the over-compensation. And the...well, I'm glad they get it. Sam knows what it's like to be hot for bad boys. She brings up the 'volunteering for prison' thing again. I'm actually glad she didn't just let that go so easily.

Olivia and Johnny watch the view from his potentially new apartment. She observes that Jason's apartment is right across the street. She jokes they can wave at each other or shoot at each other from across the street. I think it's so Johnny can catch Jason in a towel. That's why I'd move there. Price, be damned. He says he wants the apartment for her. He wants them to move in together. Olivia says that can never happen. She leaves. Is the real estate agent still outside? She's patient.

Jason tries to explain his choice to go to prison for Sonny. He lists a lot of reasons which don't include Sam. He apologizes and she conveniently forgives him and then they discuss sex costumes. Yeah. So I guess that discussion is over.

Maxie explains why she wants to redecorate except she doesn't mention the danger and the bad boys and the over-compensation. He says that all he needs is her.

Patrick tells Claire about Robin's fascination and blindness with Sonny. He says that Claire has an advantage to everyone else in Port Charles because she doesn't have any emotional ties to Sonny. Yet. Better not get to close to him, Claire - he might impregnate you just by looking at you. He renews her confidence that she's doing the right thing.

NuMichael and Sonny are on a plane back to Port Charles. Dante thinks forensics will prove NuMichael wrong about his confession. Michael asks what happens if he gets proven right. Dante: "If you get proven right, I don't know what I'm gonna do."

April 20 2010

We begin where we left off with Molly and Jason. She tells him all about RoadKill's dad. She doesn't care what happens to him, she just wants Mr. Bauer to disappear.

Roadkill's dad is not happy to find out that violence runs in the Davis family. Sam gets all ghetto on his ass. Hold me back man, hold me back! Lucky interjects. Roadkill's dad tells them that all three of them have obstructed justice and he can prove it.

New Michael!!! And he looks slightly older and a little like Spinelli...and like many others, I really don't get why they fired Drew Garrett unless it was a disciplinary thing that we just haven't heard about. Anyway, NuMichael is very happy to be at his new place. He tells Morgan on the phone all about it. Morgan tells him that he messed up at their dad's trial.

Sonny and Carly celebrate her victorious triumph on the stand as Dante and Claire watch. Claire tells Dante that they need Michael if they don't want Sonny to be acquitted.

Credits: NuMichael has replaced OldMichael.

Skye(!) arrives at her old lake house and introduces herself to Kristina. She tells Kristina that she used to take care of her when she was a baby.

Warren and Lucky argue about Kristina and her lies and etc. He thinks Kiefer was framed. Sam yells that he wasn't and that Kristina lied to protect RoadKill. Lucky can prove it but Warren ain't hearin' it. He vows to put Alexis in prison.

Jason sits Molly down and makes her understand how guilty she would feel if Mr. Bauer died. Molly knows why Kristina lied: to save Kiefer from being killed. She suggests scaring Mr. Bauer. Jason: "That would be illegal." Molly: "No offense, but you do illegal things". Heh. Smart girl. Jason admits he does but it's up to him to deal with those consequences. The music starts to get sappy and Jason reminisces about how Michael grew up and how it was wrong that he saw things he shouldn't see. And really, how are they fixing that with Morgan and Molly? Molly finally admits that it's not what she wants. It'd be a nice moment for Jason if it wasn't so damn hypocritical. And if it was a nice moment, Molly ruins it by butting into his personal life again.

Morgan tells NuMichael about the trial.

Dante thinks it's too late to find Michael. Claire says she can petition a 24 hour extension to find Michael.

Sonny tells Carly that the trial is pretty much over. Carly excuses herself to go see someone. Sonny goes back in the court room and asks Diane what they have. Diane loathes to admit she was wrong. She thinks Sonny will be acquitted.

Claire gives Dante two options: 1) She'll do her closing statement and Sonny will be a free man or 2) Dante finds Michael. Dante opts for #2. Claire is satisfied as a smiling Sonny looks on.

Ethan and Luke stare at the "ugly" (accounting) books and discuss how Tracy won't like it. Ethan seems down but Luke tells him he's been acquitted of everything he's been accused of and to get over it. Ethan says it's not over for Kristina. Luke rightfully says there's only so much sympathy he can work up for someone who lied and let an innocent man swing.

Skye tells Kristina about her daughter and she thanks Kristina for making her realize that she could raise a child. Skye remember that Alexis doesn't like her much and she admits that there's good reason. Kristina says she can relate to being unsympathetic. They discuss the attacks and the lies and the dead boyfriend and the... Skye offers to help. We still don't know why she's in town, do we?

Claire requests the 24 hour extension. Objection! The judge sort of agrees. Claire makes an impassioned speech about finding the truth.

Morgan let's Dante in. I guess that's why Michael so overtly announced exactly where he is to Morgan... Dante apologizes for not being able to help with Mr. Bauer. Morgan says he understands. They talk about the Yank...*snore*. Dante blatantly brings up Michael and "when he gets back". And it's just that easy....Morgan tells Dante where Michael is. Seriously, I thought this kid was smarter than that.

Luke doesn't want Ethan to beat himself up with it. Luke calls it like it is: Kristina was obnoxious. He reminds Luke that she got him thrown in prison which caused him to get beaten up. His bruises seem to be all gone, btw. Ethan still wishes he could have helped instead of yelling at her. And as if on cue, Skye stops by with Kristina. Kristina finally apologizes.

Carly arrives at Sonny's office to see Jason. They're happy about the trial.

Diane and Claire argue the 24 hour extension. Sonny doesn't understand. Diane explains to Sonny that 24 hours is one day. The judge has made a decision. He will give Claire the 24 hour extension.

Kristina asks for a moment alone with Ethan. Skye and Luke oblige. Kristina apologizes again but this time more sincerely and at length. He tells her a story about how he made a fool out of himself hitting on his best friend's older sister. She agrees it was a humiliating story. He apologizes as well for handling things poorly.

Alexis comes home to Molly. Sam appears on the couch... And Molly tells them both that Kristina went out with Skye. They're both surprised since they didn't know Skye was back in town. She says she'll check on Kristina later; she wants to know how her youngest is doing. Molly: "I didn't something really dumb." An exasperated Alexis puts her head in her hands and says, "Oh God, I can't take much more." HA! and HA! She asks Molly what she did. Molly tells them. Sam looks amused.

Carly tells Jason about Josselyn and Claire and the jury. He tells her that they moved Michael because Ronnie made it to the island but Ronnie didn't find Michael because of Jax. Aww, it's nice that Jason gave Jax the credit. I wondered if he would do that.

Court is adjourned for the day. Diane and Sonny whisper about Michael's location. Diane says she doesn't want to know. She thinks the 24 hour extension is a stall tactic.

Dante is on a plane. He remembers Morgan's words that he's glad Dante is his brother and feels the Catholic guilt.

Molly tries to explain. She says she asked Dante first. Sam makes sure that Jason turned her down. Molly confirms that. Alexis is all perplexed that these things could even enter her mind. Molly is just worried about her family. Molly excuses herself to do homework. Alexis worries about Molly since everyone Molly is related to/knows is involved with the mob or knows someone who is.

Jax visits Morgan with chocolate fudge. Mmmm. He tells Morgan that they had to move Michael but he already knows. He tells Jax that he messed up on the stand. Jax wants Morgan to know that whatever happens, he loves him and Michael and Josselyn. Morgan hopes that Jax and his mom don't break up.

Sonny antagonizes Claire. He blatantly threatens her and says Carly made her look like a fool. Claire thinks it was a nice portrayal of perjury. Sonny antagonizes her more. Get him, Claire! Get him!

Sam tries to console Alexis but Alexis thinks she's in trouble. She thinks Roadkill might have lived if she had called 911 sooner. Sam accuses Alexis of being a defeatist which is what she's basically acting like.

Lucky visits Ethan and Luke. He tells Luke that Warren wants to prove that Ethan is really the guilty party. Luke: "His son was a piece of crap and he should learn to live with it." Hee. Lucky reminds them that even though Ethan was exonerated, the DNA evidence still points to him.

Ding Dong at the Jax house. Claire is happy to see Jax. Morgan isn't happy to see Claire. He says he's going to his room. Instead, he hides and listens to Claire and Jax fighting about what she did to Morgan. Jax lies that he was at the island to possibly purchase it. Claire calls shenanigans. She tells him that Dante has a subpoena and will find Michael. Morgan listens...uh oh.

Carly and Jason clink to success when Sonny walks in. They all talk about Carly's brilliance. Sonny looks up and says thank you, presumably to God. But God is trying to help Dante locate Michael. Seriously, the plane is going awfully fast. Tailwind? Nah. Sonny tells them about the 24 hour extension.

NuMichael opens the door to Dante. NuMichael Corinthos, you got served!

April 19 2010

Kristina watches RoadKill's dad describing Kristina's "lies" on a webpage dedicated to Roadkill's memory. Alexis comes in and closes the laptop. Kristina is worried and upset about the fallout.

Dante tells Jason where Ronnie is. Jason calls him a traitor and says that all Dante cares about is bringing Sonny down.

Ronnie enters the hotel room on the island while Michael hides. Ronnie announces that he has a subpoena. Jax stops him.

Carly brings Josselyn to the stand. Really? Claire objects. So do I.

Credits: Jason Cook is counting his free money at home.

Carly lies that her nanny was supposed to pick up the baby but was running late. Sonny is worried because when Carly has a plan, it's never good. Diane, however, wants to see how it plays out. Claire thinks its prejudicial. Carly retorts. The judge agrees with Carly. Carly takes that opportunity to play to the jury saying that the trial is really about Josselyn. How, you ask? Because that's the kid that Claudia tried to steal. Well played, Caroline, well played. Judge calls a recess and tells Carly not to bring the baby back. She leaves the stand, parading Josselyn passed the jury.

Dante says he agrees with Jason that he doesn't want Michael on the stand. Jason doesn't buy it. Dante's all 'whatever,' He doesn't think Jason has done much to protect Michael either.

Jax uses the whole, "oh, the taxpayers are paying for this 'vacation'" argument as a stall tactic. Ronnie fishes; Jax lies. Ronnie doesn't get it.

Molly and Morgan watch Warren's video. Molly is upset that her mom will be going to jail. Morgan has a plan! Cause he's Carly's kid.

Alexis tries to calm Kristina but she whines and cries and talks about how 'nice' Mr. Bauer was....and would it be wrong to want Alexis to slap her? Kristina is worried her mom is going to jail. Alexis doesn't know what's going to happen but she promises they'll work things through. Alexis announces there's something she needs to do.

Jason and Dante? Still arguing. For someone who's made out to be so observant, Jason is so completely wrong about Dante and his intentions.

Jax and Ronnie...blah blah blah. Oh God, this episode is boring. Max interrupts and forcibly removes Ronnie.

Outside the courtroom, Sonny chides Carly for what she did. Carly think it's all going to work.

PCPD, Alexis walks in and sees Warren and Mac arguing. Roadkill's dad thinks Alexis is getting preferential treatment. He asks her why she didn't stop. She says she was in shock, taking her daughter to the hospital after his son beat her. He yells that that's a lie. All this is so unprofessional. They argue about who beat who. Roadkill's dad accuses her of sleeping with Mac to which she denies.

Dante visits Morgan at his request. Dante notices Molly is upset. Morgan tells him about the website. He wants Dante to make it all go away. Dante says it's a conflict of interest since Kristina is his sister. Morgan asks if there's anything he can do to help.

Jason yells at Max on the phone about letting Ronnie near Michael. Max tells him that Jax covered. Jason instructs Max to bring Michael somewhere else. Michael gets on the phone with Jason. He tells Michael it may be over in a couple of days and that Carly will be going on the stand today.

Carly gets sworn in. Diane begins the questioning. Carly describes what happened the night that Claudia kidnapped her. She sells it and Alice and other jury members eat it up. She finishes up the story by lying about Sonny being the one who hit Claudia. Sonny does this weird thing at the end where he shakes his head and I don't know if he's playing modest or he disapproves of what Carly was doing or what. I think they should have ended that scene on Carly's face...

Kristina eerily looks through Roadkill's website and all the pictures of them together. Sam stops by. Kristina guesses that Alexis called her. Sam confirms it. They talk about Warren's website and the man himself. Sam psychologises that Warren is doing the same thing as Roadkill: Being mean to her and then being nice to her...etc...basically fucking with her pretty little head.

Dante tries to explain to Molly and Morgan about Warren's rights. He excuses himself to get back to work. After he leaves, Kristina thinks she knows someone else who can help.

Mac snarks and Warren threatens and Alexis finally asks Mac to leave them alone. Alexis talks to Warren like he's three years old. But the guy is grieving so he won't be taking that. He vows to send her to prison and subtly threatens Kristina.

Carly finishes her story. She said it was her idea to cover up the murder. Claire continues. She picks apart Carly's story. She yells and Diane objects and Carly is the calmest one of all because she knows how to get a jury in her pocket.

Claire addresses the jury directly. Is this closing arguments? Claire talks about manipulation and then continues picking apart Carly's story. She tries to get Carly to trip up and she almost suceeds once or twice. She wants to know why Sam called Sonny instead of Jax. Response: I don't know. Badgering? Sustained! Claire brings up Michael's coma and Claudia's responsibility. Carly gets the right amount of emotional begging the jury not to send Sonny to prison for saving her daughter's life.

Kristina delusionaly says that RoadKill wasn't an evil person. She shows Sam the memorial. Sam tells Kristina to stop romanticizing Roadkill. Sam is worried about Kristina's relationship future.

On to the Restaurant of No Patrons where Conan is a lot taller than Molly! She asks to see Jason. Molly goes in to see Jason. She tells him about the video and asks him to "stop Mr. Bauer".

Diane asks one final question: "Do you believe that you and Josselyn would have been alive today if Sonny had not arrived at the cabin". Carly, "No." Claire has no further questions. Carly steps down. Sonny whispers to Diane not to bring in any more witnesses so Diane tells the judge that the defense rests.

Sam walks in to the PCPD and sees Alexis and Warren arguing. Alexis tries to explain how Keifer beat up Kristina twice but Warren doesn't believe it. He yells loudly for everyone to hear that he's going to make sure everyone knows she's a murderer and how Kristina got beat up because she's "a promiscuous little tramp that was asking for it". Sam's response? Uppercut to the chin! Dayumm! Go girl!

Kristina watches more pictures of Roadkill while remembering her beatings.

Molly tells Jason that Dante couldn't help so she wants Jason to stop Mr. Bauer. Jason: "Are you asking me to kill [RoadKill's] father?"

Morgan gets a call. It's Michael. Michael tells him where he is.

Recess time at court. Diane and Sonny are happy about Carly's testimony.
Claire tells Dante that Sonny is pretty much a free man.
Sonny comes out and thanks Carly and then kisses her. (Poor Jax!) Claire and Dante see it. She tells Dante that they need Michael.

-end

And I just have to share this. It's my niece and my parent's dog.

April 15 2010

Alexis is unnerved by Helena being at Wyndemere and warns Nikolas. In turn, Helena lists Alexis' misdeeds - two hit and runs, a stint in shadybrook...etc. She forgets to mention Alexis' impersonation of the Q's male butler. She assures Nikolas that she's there for the baby. He thinks she's there to make sure he doesn't marry Elizabeth.

Liz tries to be polite to Maxie seeing her at Lucky's apartment. Maxie? Not so much.

Sonny arrives at the restaurant. Carly wants to know how he could let Jason take the fall for him. Instead of answering, he just makes fun of Spinelli. Dick. He says he didn't "let" Jason do anything. And Spinelli finally stands up to the mob dick, telling him in Spinelli-ese that he didn't exactly stop him.

Claire's not ready to make a deal with Jason because she knows that Jason didn't kill Claudia. Dante comes in and Claire fills him in.

Credits: Who's that guy? Oh! It's Matt!

Nik tells his grandmother that Liz wants nothing to do with him. She thinks that's great. She notices a likeness between Alexis and Elizabeth: "Three bastard children by three different fathers" and mental illness. Alexis warns her to watch out because she may snap again.

Elizabeth gives Lucky a permission slip for Cam. They make small talk. Maxie interrupts telling Liz that she's helping decorate the place. Liz asks if Lucky asked for her help. Why would she assume he didn't? Maxie tells her it's none of her business.

Kristina, at Wyndemere talks on the phone with Michael, at the island. They disagree on whether Kiefer deserved to be killed and they disagree on whether or not Michael should come home. Jax walks in. At the island, not Wyndemere.

Sonny dismisses the whole thing by saying it was Jason's idea. Spinelli tries to talk, Sonny shuts him up and then Carly yells at Sonny for being a bully telling him to listen to Spinelli. Don't be a bully? Isn't that what Sonny does for a living? Spinelli talks on about how wrong it is for Sonny to let Jason go to jail for him. It's nice that Spinelli is finally talking morals now, although he doesn't seem to mind working for mobsters, covering up crimes. Spinelli thinks Sonny should take the prosecutor's deal himself. Sonny tells him to leave. After he leaves, Carly agrees with Spinelli.

Claire and Dante finally agree for once except Diane somehow gets them to argue. Claire says she'll have to talk with her superiors. Claire warns Jason and Diane that she hopes they've thought this through because if it all happens, Jason will go directly to jail. He will not pass GO. He will not collect $200.

Maxie and Liz quibble. And then they outright fight. Liz finally leaves. Lucky tells Maxie not to help. She says that someone has to pull him back to reality.

Patrick and Steven have beers at Jake's. They drink to Elizabeth and Lisa. Steven congratulates Patrick on his wifey life. Patrick reminisces about his old life. Some skank keeps walking back and forth. Enter Olivia. She's looking for Johnny.

Alone now, Dante asks Jason why he wants to go to jail. He talks of the children! The children! It's all about the children!

Jax wants to help Michael. Michael's idea of help is being brought back home. Jax says that's not going to happen. Michael talks about Kristina and RoadKill.

Sonny and Carly *bleep blop*

Maxie tries to convince Lucky that Elizabeth won't give up. But he knows. I can't stop staring at Lucky's facial hair.

Liz visits her chemo friend. Chemo lady wants to hear all the gossip. She's in for a treat! Chemo lady tells her not to give up.

Sonny and Carly *bleep blop* Claire interrupts. She tells them about Jason. She asks, if he's such a devoted father, "why don't you take the deal?"

Carly threatens Claire that she'll go to the judge. Claire doesn't care and talks directly to Sonny. She wants Sonny to take the deal or continue the trial; she doesn't want to take Jason's deal. Carly again threatens Claire telling her she'll regret messing with her kids. Again, Claire proves her big hairy balls by telling Carly, "You think this is bad? Wait till I get you on the stand." Heh. Love this chick. Sonny says he won't take the deal.

Dante worries about his sibs. He wants them to obey the law when they get older. He's mostly worried about Michael whose been raised under the gun. Jason doesn't excuse the life or the influence. Jason's tells Dante that he can't let those kids be used again. Dante's offended because he spent the night in jail to protect Morgan. They yell at each other how one is worse than the other.

Steven goes to get some beers giving Patrick an opportunity to ask Olivia how she feels about the trial. She says she's done although she believes Claudia deserves justice. They continue the dart game when Robin comes by. Johnny also comes and takes Olivia away. Robin? Jealous of Olivia now... even though she just kissed Johnny.

Johnny tells Olivia he was working on something she's "gonna like". I bet it involves shaving.

Robin and Patrick and Steven discuss darts and bar tabs. Skank walks by again. Robin gets all jealous of skank, Lisa and Olivia. Steven excuses himself because...AWKWARD! Patrick thinks this is about Robin being worried about Sonny.

Claire tells Jason that his plea deal was rejected. Ronnie comes in and Claire tells him to go pick up Morgan from school to be put back on trial. Claire tells Jason to leave.

Helena arranges flowers which makes Nikolas snark that he always thought Helena handling flowers would make them wilt and die. But Helena has an affinity for beauty and the absurd. She praises her own sense of humor. Nik snarks again but really is no match for Helena's wits. She does, however, enjoy sparring with Alexis. Helena wants to teach a whole school of Cassadines! It's the Port Charles school for Evil Geniuses. She thinks it may be too late for Spencer.

The chemo lady tries to make Elizabeth feel better. Seriously...the woman WITH TERMINAL CANCER tries to make Elizabeth feel better.

Maxie finally found the perfect place for a lamp. And thank God, because I thought it was going to be a Friday cliffhanger.

At the courthouse, Dante tells Sonny that Claire is recalling Morgan. Sonny knows. Dante thinks Sonny is a coward for not taking the deal. Sonny says he's not going to go to prison for something he didn't do...which is kind of a slip since he's supposed to make everything think he did do it. Dante calls him on it.

Mac and Ronnie discuss Michael. Mac thinks Jax knows where Michael is since he took his private plane and landed on Sonny's private island.

Michael and Jax argue about Sonny.

Jason comes to the restaurant to see a relieved Carly. She's happy that Claire didn't take the deal. He's worried about what's going to happen next.

Diane interrupts Dante's mini-interrogation of Sonny. Sonny sees Morgan come in but Diane stops him from going to him. Instead, Dante goes to Morgan. He tells Morgan that what Ronnie said was wrong.

-end

April 14 2010

Ok, here's a quick recaplet. I figured I could at least do that if I didn't have time to do a full recap.

Nikolas bonds with Kristina and Spencer. He seems to be trying to be a real dad!
Elizabeth gets advice from a cancer stricken woman going through chemo.
Helena terrorizes the lab guy, trades barbs with Alexis and even snarks at Tracy.
Jason brings his plea deal to Claire, much to the chagrin of Spinelli, Sam and Carly.
And that's pretty much it. Oh yeah, there's this whole thing with Maxie and Lucky arguing over a lamp they found on the street. It's as exciting as it sounds, but it leads to Elizabeth finding Maxie in Lucky's new apartment. It's Patrick's apartment...and how does a guy on a cop's salary afford that apartment with a pool table and a juke box?

April 13 2010

Let's get started!

RoadKill's mom and Alexis talk over each other. Alexis apologizes while RoadKill's mom yells about how horrible the Davis ladies are.

Lulu and Dante talk about how ridiculous his jail sentence is, especially since Sonny is out free.

Jax denies involvement in Morgan being called to court. Carly calls him a hypocrite.

Claire offers Sonny a deal: guilty to five counts of rico violation and pleading down to manslaughter. The rico violations will add up to as much as ten years in prison.

Credits: Oh, Matt. Will we see you today?

DeadToMe argues that she loved RoadKill. Roadkill's mom says that DeadTome didn't tell anyone because it never happened. RoadKill's mom wonders why Alexis isn't in jail. Alexis: "Because it was an accident". As they argue and yell over each other, DeadToMe cries. Alexis calls for Maya to come in. Maya escorts RoadKill's mom out.

Despite Sonny's speech earlier, Dante still believes in the justice system. He'd love Morgan to grow up to become a lawyer or a judge and help improve the system. Lulu thinks he's amazing.

Carly thinks Jax is becoming more and more like Sonny resulting in her kids getting hurt. Jax says she's going to get Claire off the case. Carly doesn't think Claire will leave. Then? She pretty much repeats something that Sonny said yesterday which totally pissed me off. She says, "At least Sonny and Jason own what they do." And again, I say - A) no they don't, otherwise, they'd be in jail. And B) So the fuck what? Just because you admit you're a dick, doesn't make you any less of a dick. Carly goes on to say how Jax is destroying her family by destroying Sonny.

Sonny thinks that Claire is offering a deal because she's scared she won't win or Jax will take her off the case. He's pissed that she "used a child" to put him in jail. She says she'll do what she has to and then HowieMandel's "Deal or No Deal."

I can't wait to see Happy Town. "Don't let the name fool you." I won't!!!

Lulu guesses that Sonny offered Dante a deal. He wonders what Lulu would do if he took Sonny's offer. She knows this is a trick question because Dante would never work for Sonny. I sure fucking hope not. He mentions kids. She freezes.

Carly and Jax argue some more. And it's the same old arguments. She accuses him of a lot of trashy things. And then she's worried that their marriage is fading and storms out.

Jason tells Claire that Sonny won't make any deals without Diane. She informs Sonny that he has until court tomorrow to make the deal or she'll have to call back Morgan. She also threatens to put Kristina on the stand. This girl is playing with fire. Thank God she has a vagina. Sonny warns her without warning her. Claire insists she doesn't want to bring up children but it's a necessary evil to put him in prison. She warns him again and then walks out. Sonny tells Jason that he wants to see his son and then he'll decide what to do.

Dante flirts and gives Lulu a bunch of cheesy lines that makes her (and me) giggle. He brings up the kid thing again which makes Lulu change the subject. Olivia comes by and tells Dante she's working on getting him out of there. She brought him clean underwear and a meatball sandwich which makes Dante blush. Not the sandwich...the underwear. She goes on to talk about raising a kid at 15 years old which makes Lulu even more comfortable.

Jax phones to get Claire off the case. Alexis visits. She tells Jax about how well DeadToMe isn't adjusting. She asks Jax to get the Bauers to keep away from DeadToMe. He wonders why they're targeting DeadToMe. Alexis tells him why.

At the restaurant, Carly tells Jason about her fight with Jax. He wants her to stay focused on the trial. She's worried about Claire and her testimony.

Morgan let's Sonny in. Morgan blames himself for Dante being in jail. Sonny tells him it's not his fault and he shouldn't have been on the stand in the first place. Morgan thinks it's cool that Dante ran in to save the day. Sonny agrees. Morgan doesn't want to go back to work. Sonny says he'll figure out a way to get him out of it.

Alexis tells Jax about her confession and the charges etc... Jax says he'll reach out to Warren.

Maya brings Kristina some food and talks to her a little bit. Ethan comes in and sincerely apologizes to Kristina.

Dante is glad that he grew up without Sonny. Olivia is glad to hear it. Lulu apologizes to Olivia for being rude to her the night Dante was shot. She makes an excuse to leave.

Jason tells Carly that she won't fail. Carly is still worried. Jason talks about how brave Carly was the night Claudia kidnapped her. Carly's confidence has been renewed.

Outside by the elevator, Ethan asks Maya how DeadToMe is doing. Maya tells him that she thinks his apology helped.

DeadToMe looks through her texts. They're all from RoadKill. Warren comes in and tells DeadToMe about plans he had with his dead abusive son. He accuses her of lying about RoadKill. He describes RoadKill's wounds to DeadToMe who sobs through it. He yells that RoadKill would still be alive if Alexis called for help - but he still blames Kristina for his death.

Lulu comes to see Carly. Carly thought it was great that Dante stood up for Morgan. Lulu agrees that Dante will be a good father some day.

Claire comes to see Dante. He thinks Claire blew it by bringing in Morgan. She says she did it to get at Sonny.

Sonny thinks his sons have suffered too much and tells Jason he wants to take the deal. Jason doesn't think he'll survive a year in prison. He may...because he has dimples. Jason has another idea: "You don't take Claire's deal. I will." What?

Kristina (yeah, I changed her name back), says she loved RoadKill but he was guilty of hitting her. Warren thinks Kristina is lying and ruined her son's life. He continues to yell as Alexis and Jax come in to stop him. Warren yells at Alexis that her life is over. Jax escorts him outside and tells him to go home. Warren laments about his son. Jax tells him that Kristina isn't responsible.

Back in the room, Kristina asks Alexis if she's going on trial.

Carly guesses that Dante doesn't know about Lulu's abortion. Lulu thinks she will be judged.

Claire tells Dante about the deal she offered Sonny. Dante wants Sonny to get life.

Sonny says he's not going to let Jason go to prison for him. They argue about it.

April 12 2010

Sorry folks! Missed another two days... Been so busy. Oh, and a good friend of mine just had a screen test for All My Children! He...didn't get it, but I know he'll keep trying. Stay tuned! Good shows last week! So much to snark about and so much to be happy about. I hate that I didn't get a chance to recap! Oh well...here we go!

Alexis tells a stunned Mac that she's responsible for Kiefer's hit and run.

Ethan is yelling at both Maya and Kristina. And what pisses me off is he gets slack from Lucky. I think Ethan has a right to be upset and to yell at Kristina who is now accusing him of a different crime didn't commit. Enough is enough. Kristina is a victim of physical abuse and that sucks and all but what she did to Ethan and continues to do is inexcusable.

Also yelling? The whole court! "You're out of order, Mr. Falconeri", cries the judge! No you're out of order! This whole court is out of order!, cries Dante!

Credits. Still there, Matt?

Mac rushes Alexis into the interrogation room and tells her to think it through before she says something she regrets. But Alexis is ready to talk.

Ethan tries to explain to Lucky what a total cuntrag Kristina is being, but Maya and Lucky think Kristina is just a little girl who can't take it. I call Shenanigans! So does Ethan. Kristina admits she did lie. Doesn't matter, because Lucky gets Ethan to leave. Kristina's a victim! After Ethan leaves, Lucky calms Kristina down as Maya looks lustily on thinking 'oh my. he's so dreamy when he's sympathetic'.

Luke tells Tracy that he thinks Dante is at fault for Ethan getting beat up in prison. Tracy just thinks that Luke doesn't like Dante because he's a cop and dating his daughter. She does think he's wrong for Lulu but she doesn't think he had Ethan beaten up. Tracy comes up with another scenario: anger displacement....maybe he's really mad at Lucky. Tracy, when did you get your psychology license, girl?

Dante is still screaming at the court about the mishandling of Morgan. Diane is thrilled. The judge orders the bailiff to take Dante into custody.

Now Morgan gets upset that Dante is being taken away. Carly steps in and takes Morgan off the stand. The judge warns her but she yells that Morgan was taken out of school without her permission. The judge yields although warns her that Michael may be recalled. No one in this court room looks happy except for Diane.

Alexis has a sit-down with Mac. She bravely tells the entire truth to Mac who listens and interjects at appropriate interludes. Nancy Grahn does an amazing job. After she's done, Mac tells her he'll arrest her and let her go of her own recognizance. He instructs her to go out and get the best attorney she can and then she'll plead out and it will all be over. She cries that she doesn't know what's going to happen to her girls if she has to go to prison.

Kristina, who will now be known as DeadToMe tries to explain what happened. Lucky insists it's not her fault and sorta gets through to her about what kind of man Kiefer was. Maya, who's business it isn't, weighs in on the subject. Lucky tells her she'll get through it.

Ethan comes back to the Haunted Star all pissed and stuff. After some prompting, he tells Tracy and Luke about Lucky.

Ronnie brings Dante into the interrogation room and Dante just kinda acts like a dick. They talk about Morgan and argue. Dante's right when he says Ronnie shouldn't have manipulated Morgan but he goes way over the line when he compares Ronnie and Claire to Sonny. Ronnie gets pissed, and appropriately so, telling Dante that maybe he should just quit the force and join his "daddy" in the mob.

Lucky comes to the Haunted Star for 'round two'. He yells at Ethan again. Ethan yells back. Luke wants to butt in.

Alexis welcomes DeadToMe back to her room. DeadToMe tells Alexis about her therapy session. She doesn't like Dr. Winters. Alexis waxes which makes DeadToMe wonder what's wrong. She tells DeadToMe that she was the one who hit Kiefer. DeadToMe asks if she hit Kiefer on purpose.

Alexis and Claire are in the judge's chambers. They argue their cases. The judge reprimands them both. Claire gets a thousand dollar fine. He puts them on ethical notice. He threatens a mistrial.

At the PCPD, Sonny wants to see Dante. Ronnie snarks on him for a while. Sonny thinks that Ronnie is just scared. That he'll go to the dark side! I can't believe I haven't made the Darth Vader/Luke Skywalker reference before.

Back at the Jax home, Morgan worries about Dante. Carly thinks he'll be fine. Morgan tells Carly and Luke about what Ronnie did. Doorbell. It's Lulu. Morgan tells Lulu that Dante got arrested. Carly explains.

Sonny visits Dante in his cell. Dante tells him to get lost but Sonny stays cause....where can Dante go? Sonny is glad that Dante saw how the justice system works. Dante's not convinced that Sonny's way of life is better. Sonny says at least he's honest about it. What? First of all, no you're not. Secondly, I hate when people say "At least I'm honest about it" like it's some great excuse that makes everything OK. "I'm a bitch. But at least I'm honest about it." Yeah...but you're still a bitch. Sonny goes on... he actually suggests that Dante give up being a cop. Seriously, what a fucking turdball.

Jax gets on Claire's case about putting Morgan on the stand. Claire stands her ground. Jax thinks Claire needs to step down and goes on to threaten her. She makes the case, using examples from Jax's life like a good lawyer, why she needs to and is going to win.

Morgan worries to Carly and Jason that he messed up on the stand. They said he did fine. Morgan tells them that he wouldn't let the lawyer trick him into telling her that Michael killed Claudia. Jason goes off on Dante and Jax but Morgan loves everyone. Jason relents and says he just wants Morgan to have a good life. He wants Morgan to have more than a life breaking the law.

Lulu asks Ronnie if she can see Dante. He tells her that Sonny is with him now. They argue about Dante's intentions. Ronnie asks her to talk to Dante and make sure he's not crossing over to the dark side.

Sonny...*sigh*. His arguments just don't make any sense. Dante explains justice to Sonny like he's two years old. And that's what he needs.

Alexis tells DeadToMe that she doesn't remember if she did it on purpose or not. DeadToMe forgives her mom and knows she wouldn't do it on purpose. They hug. DeadToMe wonders what happens now.

Lucky is on the phone with Mac. After he gets off, he tells Luke and Ethan about Alexis. Ethan hates that everyone has him as an automatic number one suspect.

Alexis tells DeadToMe that she's already made a full confession; she was charged and released. DeadToMe is worried.

Kiefer or...RoadKill's mom comes to Mac to ask him who ran down RoadKill. After excusing her behavior, Mac names Alexis.

Lulu laughs at Dante in jail. They flirt; they banter. He tells her about Sonny's visit. Lulu tells Dante that Morgan is OK. Dante mentions something about Sonny being right about something but I choose to ignore it.

Lucky and Ethan argue like brothers. Now, Lucky wants Ethan to apologize to Kristina. He leaves. Luke gets pissed. He agrees that Ethan should apologize to Kristina but Kristina should apologize to him first. He adds, and Sonny...and Alexis...and the whole PCPD!

Alexis tries to change the subject. They talk about getting away. To France! Roadkill's mom comes in all snarky and on the offense.

Jax is home! Carly lays into him about Claire and what she did.

Lulu pep talks Dante. They flirt some more. Wouldn't it be great if this was the place they finally did it?

Restaurant. Sonny comes in and tells Jason that Morgan might be recalled. Sonny, "If Claire was a man, I'd arrange to have him have an accident." Because he has morals! And anyway, didn't he kill Faith? And I have no doubt he would have killed Claudia if Michael hadn't. Jason thinks it's a bad idea since she's a fed. On cue, Claire walks in. She jokes that they're all serious and wonders if they're plotting her death. She's there to offer Sonny a deal. Shouldn't she be talking to his lawyer?

April 7 2010

Boy, it's a hot day in New York today. I think it hit 90. I bet things are hot in Port Charles too. Sorry I missed yesterday's recap. I was busy...putting together a desk. At least trying to. It's not done yet. I may miss tomorrow's too. But yesterday was awesome. Great performances by Kristina and Alexis. Awesome performance by Dante. I loved his speech at Sonny. Loved Alexis' guilt. Ethan has finally been exonerated but for fuck's sake - now he's going to be accused of mowing down Kiefer?? And Kiefer? Dead. Let's get started with today's episode!

Sam tells Jason that she is worried that Kirstina is going to think that someone ran down Kiefer on purpose. They did!

Lucky asks Ethan what happened to his car. Ethan says he thinks he hit a deer. Lucky tells Ethan that if there's anything to know, than he needs to know now.

Molly tells Kristina about Kiefer's accident. Kristina wants to know how bad it is. Molly tells her that it's critical.

A guilt-ridden Alexis overhears Steven telling the Bauers to take as much time as they need. The Bauers mourn their dead abusive son. Mom Bauer sees Alexis and says it's all her fault. She don't know the half of it!

Credits: I do more work than Jason Cook. Can I have his salary?

At the elevator, Olivia gets defensive with Dante before he has a chance to speak. But he doesn't want to talk about that. He wants to talk about his tree house. What? Apparently she not only protected him from Sonny, but from a tree house as well. He apologizes for being mad at her for protecting him.

Sam is happy that Jason had nothing to do with Kiefer's "accident". But she's upset that she couldn't see the truth. Jason doesn't say 'I told you so' because he wants to get into her pants sometime in the future.

Kristina thinks Sonny ordered Jason to hit Kiefer. Molly doesn't think it's Jason's M.O. Kristina is still making excuses for Kiefer. Molly still thinks it was an accident.

Mommy Bauer yells at Alexis. She 'knows' her son. "My son is good. My son is kind." Obviously, you don't know your son. Alexis flashbacks to the 'accident''. Daddy Bauer tells Alexis to go. Alexis gets that cute red nose thing when she's upset.

Ethan's car has been towed. He's upset and wants his car back. Lucky says there's nothing to worry about; they'll check his car and if he's innocent, he'll get his car back.

Dante and Olivia have a sit down. Dante tells Olivia that he punched Sonny. Dante lists all the things Sonny has done wrong to his kids. I'm dreading the day that Dante forgives and tries to get to know Sonny. I know it will happen eventually but I'm enjoying the Sonny-hate while it lasts. Dante and his mom reconcile.

Alexis tells Sam and Jason that Kiefer didn't make it. Sam says she'll help Alexis tell Kristina.

Kristina wants to get out of bed to see Kiefer. Molly thinks its her fault that she pushed Kristina towards Kiefer. Kristina again tries to defend Kiefer. UGH...it's kinda icky. Enter Alexis and Sam. Kristina wants to know if Kiefer is OK. Sam breaks the news. Alexis holds her sobbing daughter. It really is kinda heart-breaking and icky all at the same time.

Car shop - Johnny talks to a thug about Sonny. After some hard-ball, Thug agrees to work with Johnny. Olivia interrupts. Johnny excuses Thug named Eddie. After he leaves, Olivia tells Johnny that she "got [her] son back". And Stella? Got her groove back.

Jason tells Dante that Kiefer is dead. Dante asks Jason how he does what he does. They talk about protection and loyalty. They disagree on the definitions of those words.

Ethan tells Lucky that he thought he was being followed. Lucky grabs his ringing cellphone. Out of earshot of Lucky, Luke asks Ethan if he's telling the truth. Ethan admits he's making it up because he can't exactly tell Lucky what he was really doing. Lucky comes back and tells them the phone call was from Mac: He tells them that Kiefer is dead which means this is a homicide.

Daddy Bauer gives a press conference about his son with Mommy Bauer at his side. Alexis watches from the doorway. He's giving a reward to anyone who can help with whoever mowed his dead abusive son down. Mac pulls Alexis aside and asks for her statement. She tells him: "A boy I encouraged to take out my daughter was secretly abusing her. And now he's dead. And I'm the one who..." Mac: "One who what?" Exactly.

Alexis feels guilty over not seeing what was happening with Kiefer and Kristina. Mac can empathize. He talks about Georgie. Alexis talks about Kiefer's mother and how much she's grieving. She says she hates Kiefer for what he did but didn't want him dead. Then you shouldn't have run him down, Alexis.

Lulu comes to visit a sulking Dante. They flirt a bit. He tells Lulu about how lucky he is to have his mom.

Johnny and Olivia have a drink in honor of her reconciliation with her son. They plan a romantic night.

Molly has all these feelings! She hates Kiefer! But she liked him before! And now he's dead! Sam tells Alexis that she'll take Molly home. Molly cries and hugs her sister. Before Sam leaves, Kristina asks her to get Jason.

Kristina asks Jason if he or Sonny killed Kiefer. Jason says he had nothing to do with the accident. She whines a bit about needing a listener. Jason flexes his butt.

Mac calls Lucky again. Lucky has to arrest Ethan again. He breaks the news to Ethan.

Olivia jokes that Johnny is taking a long time with his cars and that people might suspect that his place is a cover. Johnny got a pizza! MMMM, pizza. Johnny suggests moving in together.

Dante questions his mother's taste in men. Lulu likes that she went from a bad boy to a good boy without having to change men. Dante's also worried about his sibs. He changes the subject and the non-sexually-active lovebirds flirt again...until Dante talks about his mom again. Buzzkill! He also says that his mom could have taken the easy way out when she got pregnant with him and had an abortion. Apparently he doesn't know that Lulu had one. RUT ROH!

Olivia thinks she and Johnny have a good thing and shouldn't ruin it by moving in together. Except she says it more subtly than that. He tells her to think about it. They make out by candle-light.

Dante tells Lulu that Olivia "could have been selfish" by aborting him. Ohhh....I sense this ending badly. Open mouth, Falconeri, insert foot. Lulu gets uncomfortable. She tries to leave and makes excuses for doing so. Lulu flashes back to a chat with her dad about having an abortion.

At the PCPD, Luke yells at Mac while Lucky brings Ethan in. Mac yells back.

Jason comforts Kristina. She mourns her dead abusive lover.

In the hallway, Alexis asks Steven to give her daughter drugs. He gets paged and leaves. Alexis sees on the news that Ethan has been arrested.

April 5 2010

Morgan, Dante and Sonny will be unhappy to know that the Yankees lost their first game of the season. Whoo hoo! Of course, they film about a month in advance, so I'm sure it won't be mentioned. The Mets? So far winning their first game of the season. Suck it, Corinthos.

We begin with Maxie doing her fake cough in front of the judge at GH. The bailiff brings her a bottle of water. Claire doesn't buy Maxie's sick routine but Maxie milks it for all it's worth. The judge wants to get out of there and Maxie says she doesn't remember the question. Claire says she's not surprised because she asked so long ago. Yeah, it feels like two days! Claire asks again if Michael was in the car. Maxie paddles around in a pool of ramblings and doesn't really answer the question. Claire asks one more time. Maxie? Coughs.

Why is Sonny not listening to this testimony? Sonny and Carly don't believe in Maxie. Jason thinks Maxie will do fine and only acts ditzy. He tells Sonny that if he really thinks Maxie is going to incriminate him, than he needs to get out of the country. ASAP!

Michael packs a bag and attempts to leave when Max stops him. How many times can we see this happen?

Alexis finds a bleeding Kristina and cries more than Kristina does. She asks if Kiefer did this.

Credits

Good Cop/Bad Cop drive. Dante wants to talk to Kristina again. They agree that they need proof or a confession from Kristina.

Alexis takes an apologizing and bleeding Kristina out of the Lake House.

Michael brown noses Max. He tries to reason with Max that he's not a kid and that Sonny will die in prison. Max tries to convince Michael that Diane and Sonny will pull off an acquittal.

Maxie finally answers that she doesn't know if anyone else was in the car. Claire asks a different way but Diane objects. Sustained! Claire asks about Spinelli. They get snarky with each other and it's kind of funny and totally unprofessional.

Sonny doesn't want to leave the country. He thinks they can still pull of an acquittal. Carly thinks he wants to stay because of Dante. I think it's because Maurice Benard wants to keep his day job.

Sonny says he wants to stay for Michael and Morgan. Carly disagrees. She wants him to "smell the coffee". Jason goes off to GH to check on Maxie. Carly thinks Jason left because he leaves whenever Sonny talks about Dante. Carly tries to get it into Sonny's head that Dante will never love him.

Maya introduces herself to Epiphany as the new intern. Epiphany is happy to see another black person in Port Charles. Steven comes by and introduces himself to Maya. Edward interrupts basically not-so-subtly requesting special treatment for his granddaughter. Maya tells Steven that she doesn't want or expect special treatment. Edward: "What good is money if you can't use it to buy influence?" Hee. Maya argues. Steven says that Maya got into the program by her merits, not her family and won't be getting any special treatment.

Ethan is at the Quartermaine's stealing an egg. A Faberge egg...not an egg from a chicken. Because that would be ridiculous. Skye walks in. She wonders why she's there. Skye looks fabulous in magenta. He wonders why she's so hostile and she says it's because he's a pig who beats up on teenage girls.

Dante and Lucky, guns drawn, enter the Lake house because things look amiss with the doors open. After checking out the place, they realize it's empty. Dante finds some blood on the floor. Lucky calls Ethan.

Alexis drives and cries. Kristina is unconscious in the back. Alexis remembers Keifer running passed her. She sees Keifer on the road and runs him down. Oh my God!!! Well if he's dead, I'm glad it was Alexis and not Sonny who killed him.

Dante tried to reach Alexis and Kiefer, neither of which answered. Lucky couldn't get ahold of Ethan either. They wait for forensics.

Epiphany catches Spinelli waiting for Maxie. She sasses. He sasses back. She warns him to stay out of the way. The court files out and Spinelli rolls in. Maxie tells Spinelli that Jason owes her big time. Jason, overhearing, comes in and says "I know."

Sonny and Carly argue about Dante. Sonny thinks Carly is the key to his acquittal.

Maya drags Edward away to chide him for being a total dick. She goes back to Steven who accepts her with open arms.
Alexis comes in with Kristina who hands her over to Steven. Maya hears Steven mention Ethan's name.

Ethan sits with Skye. He explains his history with Kristina. He calmly explains everything and Skye seems to be listening without judgement. She apologizes for jumping the gun and then says she understands why Kristina would lash out, talking smack about her parents.

At the Lake House, the forensic team is doing their job. Lucky gets a call from the hospital and tells Dante and the crew that Kristina was brought in. Dante gets all big-brother-pissed-off. He tells Lucky he'll go to the hospital. Lucky wants to track Ethan down.

Maxie tells Jason about her testimony. Spinelli and Jason are proud.

Sonny and Carly Zxzxxxxxxxxx. Sorry. Fell asleep for a second. So, Sonny and Carly dasjisdoas;asd. Wow, hit the keyboard that time. They're interrupted (thank God!) by Diane who tells Sonny and Carly about Maxie's testimony. Sonny gets a call from Alexis.

Spinelli and Maxie are thankful for Jason's gratitude. Maxie wants to know why she perjured herself, but she's realized by herself that Michael killed Claudia. Spinelli tells her everything.

Michael and Max argue some more. He still feels guilty about killing Claudia.

At the hospital, Alexis tells Sonny what happened. She doesn't want Sonny to go in because, "You scare her sometimes." Fair enough. Sonny waits outside while Alexis goes in. Steven thinks there might be a concussion. Kristina cries and apologizes some more. Sonny tells Jason that Ethan has to die.

Diane shares some wine with Carly. Carly tells Diane that she thinks Ethan is innocent and Kiefer is the guilty party.

At the hospital, Sonny greets Dante. He tells Dante to go in and look at Kristina and then tell him it was a good idea to drop the charges on Ethan. Dick. Dante talks to Kristina. Kristina blames herself. Dante comforts her. Steven: No broken bones but he wants to keep her overnight. Dante asks Kristina what happened.

At the Q house, Ethan is still collecting valuables. Maya interrupts. Worst. Burglar. Ever. She tells him about Kristina.

Jason sees Lucky at the Haunted Star. Lucky tells him that Ethan is no where to be found. Jason tells him that Ethan should be running. Lucky: "Did Sonny order you to kill him?" Jason: "I'm not going to answer that". Lucky pleads that Ethan didn't do it. Jason needs proof.

Sonny listens to Kristina and Dante talking. Dante brings up Keifer. He asks her again who did it. She finally admits it was Keifer.

Kiefer? Not dead...and slowly waking up on the ground.

Mets? Still winning. Suck it, Corinthos.

April 2 2010

Dante and Lucky continue their good cop/bad cop routine with Keifer. It's so obvious, yet so totally cute. Lucky gets into it but Keifer remains silent.

Alexis and Kristina talk about mundane things like SATs and college. If Kristina remains a popular character, she'll be going to PCU. Sorry, Alexis. Alexis brings up self-defense classes. Can't Sam teach her self-defense? I mean, she had that TV show. Alexis breaks the news that the police may continue to investigate. Kristina thinks her mom lied to her.

Carly is worried about Sonny's trial. She and Jason are both worried that Michael will still confess.

At court, Robin is still on the stand. Claire reiterates Robin's testimony. She asks if Sonny mentioned the baby that night. After some nudging, Robin quotes Sonny, "Thank God that baby wasn't born into our lives" and "Thank God, you'll never bore my child". Don't worry, he'll make more.

Credits: Did anyone else's credits do this weird thing where the music just got a decibel louder half way through?

Jax and Skye reunite at the Haunted Star. Tracy and Luke watch as Jax explains his separation and tells Skye about his daughter. Luke thinks that Tracy inviting Jax over was low.

Kiefer tries to dig himself out of the hole but ends up sounding more like an asshole. Lucky point blank tells him he left the party early and went to beat up Kristina. Keifer calmly tells them that that's now what happened. He begins to slip up as he remembers what really happened. Dante and Lucky work it cheesily but hey, it's working.

Kristina is pissed at Alexis. who tries to calm her down. She let's Kristina know that Luke wanted to pursue it because he believes Ethan is innocent and he has that right. Kristina sorta understands but she still doesn't like being kept in the dark. She's awfully judgmental of lying consider she's a big ol' liar herself.

Carly and Jason talk about Sonny jumping bail and going to South America. Jason thinks Michael should go with him but Carly doesn't want Michael going. Jason says that if he doesn't, then Claire will bring Michael back and question him. They agree that there are no 'good' options.

Claire again goes over the testimony instead of asking new questions. Diane and the judge pretty much ask her to move it along. She asks Robin when Claudia took Carly hostage. Robin answers it was when Sonny sent his bodyguards after Claudia to take her home. Claire gets Robin to compare the size of her bodyguards to the size of Claudia. She also makes it seem like Claudia was like a trapped animal. Before Robin can save her testimony, Claire cuts her off and says she's done with the witness. Diane couner-cross examines. Before she begins, she makes note that Sonny's primary bodyguard is "237 pounds dripping wet." Hee. And she should know! Robin explains why Sonny was so furious that night. Objection! Overruled! She goes on to praise Sonny. There are a lot of objections and sustains and overruled and people talking over each other until Diane asks Robin if she's known Sonny to ever be abusive to a woman.

Diane repeats the question. Robin questions if abuse is more than just physical but finally says she's never seen Sonny hit a woman. Does it count that he shot his ex-wife in the head while she was in labor with Morgan? Robin? Dismissed. Patrick follows her out. She's upset because she thinks she hurt Sonny with her testimony. Who's up next? Maxie Jones.

But Maxie is still in the hospital. She and Lulu are talking work. Spinelli is there too. She seems to be doing better.

Michael is bored on the island. He can't get internet, phone..etc. Max tells Michael that he heard from Diane. He lies that the trial is going well.

Jason thinks that Robin's testimony might help but Carly thinks Robin is too honest. Hee.

Kiefer gets mad until he finally realizes the obvious: That Lucky and Dante are playing him. He walks off but not before Dante warns him to stay away from Kristina. Lucky and Dante both now believe without a shadow of a doubt that Kiefer is the attacker. Dante vows to get Keifer. He refers to Kristina as his sister, often. Although he's not accepting Sonny yet, he seems to really be accepting the rest of his newfound family, which I really like.

Back at the Haunted Star, Luke sulks and Tracy calls him on it. They joke and banter. Luke moans about his kids but is happy to have Tracy by his side.

Jax and Skye drink at the Metro-Court. They're interrupted by someone named Warren, a handsome older gentleman who I didn't recognize at first as Keifer's father. After introducing Warren to Skye, they talk shop for a few seconds. Warren excuses himself. Jax tells Skye about Kristina. Over at the bar, Warren talks tensely on the phone before he's interrupted by Kiefer. Kiefer tells his dad what happened at Kelly's.

Maxie, Spinelli and Lulu talk about useless things until Epiphany comes in with a guy holding a summons. He basically throws it at her. She responds by having a (fake?) coughing fit.

Diane tells the judge that Maxie is at the hospital and cannot testify. Claire claims that Diane is trying to block the testimony.
Outside the courtroom, Patrick tries to cheer up Robin although she knows that he still wants Sonny in jail.
Back inside, the judge calls a recess to find out if Maxie is well enough to testify. He warns everyone not to leave the building.
Sonny walks outside the courtroom to find an apologetic Robin. She hugs him and tells him that she's sorry.

Maxie fixes her make-up to make it look paler and sicker. She asks Spinelli to go out and find a way to fix the machines to make it seem like she had a relapse. He leaves. Lulu wants to know why Maxie doesn't want to testify. She thinks that Maxie should tell the court what she saw. Maxie thinks ruining Sonny's life will ruin Jason's and by default, Spinelli's. She also thinks that Lulu's Sonny-hate will affect Dante. Lulu says that Dante's hate for Sonny is just as bad as hers but Maxie doesn't think so.

Back at the Metro-Court, Jax talks about his Carly woes.
At the bar, Kiefer and his dad talk about the case. Kiefer is worried. Warren thinks Kiefer should never have gotten involved with Kristina. He encourages Kiefer to talk to Kristina. It looks like he has some experience in these situations.

Lucky and Dante see Luke at the Haunted Star. They tell him that they're close to solving the case.

Michael somehow got a hold of a phone and calls Kristina. She tells him that the trial is going terribly and about Sonny going crazy in the courtroom. Even though Kristina knows that Michael killed Claudia, she still thinks her dad is guilty.

Sonny comforts Robin and tells her that she has nothing to be sorry about. Robin is still upset about her testimony. The judge has come to a decision: "If Miss. Jones can't come to court. Court will go to her." Field trip!

Sonny tells Jason and Carly about Robin's testimony back at his office. Carly thinks Robin should have lied. Sonny tells them that the next witness is Maxie.

Epiphany warns Maxie and Spinelli not to fuck with the machines. After Epiphany is gone, Maxie gets nervous. Spinelli reassures her. Epiphany comes in with a wheelchair for Maxie.

Alexis visits the Haunted Star. He tells her that he has news and that Ethan will be exonerated. Alexis still thinks Ethan is the attacker and hopes that she and Luke can get passed this.

Kiefer visits Kristina and she stupidly tells him that she's alone. Kiefer anxiously barges in and asks Kristina for help and then freaks out when she asks why. He wants her to reinstate the charges and stick to her story. She says that Dante and Lucky will figure it out and he freaks out some more and says they already have. Kristina finally comes to her senses but at the worst possible moment realizing she never should have blamed Ethan for something that Kiefer did. And that did it. Kiefer smacks her and she falls to the couch.

Sonny and Carly are worried about Maxie's testimony but Jason isn't.

At the hospital, the judge and council are set up with cameras so that the jury can see. Maxie fakes a coughing fit and Diane tells the judge that Maxie is too sick to do this. The judge warns Maxie of faking. Maxie swears to tell the truth...etc. Claire asks Maxie what she saw the night Claudia was murdered. Maxie begins to tell the tale of the koi pond. Claire finds it hard to believe that she was meeting a poolman at 3am. Diane snarks that Claire knows nothing about Kate, "although that's been obvious from the beginning." Zing! Maxie continues to tell what she saw. Claire states that Sonny was driving Michael's car. Maxie finally admits that it was. Claire asks if Michael was in the car with Sonny.

Michael gets his backpack out and sees the shirt he was wearing the night he killed Claudia. He flashbacks to swinging the axe.
