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.

Dante and Lucky interrupt Keifer's parents eating dinner at the Metro-Court. Warren objects. Lucky tells them that they're trying to establish a timeline. Warren again objects to the "misleading statements of a teenage girl."

Kristina is unconscious and bleeding on the lake house floor as Keifer yells at her. He runs off knocking into Alexis as he goes. Alexis finds her unconscious daughter.

April 1, 2010

So I've been out a few days - Happy Passover! - and I've watched the last few episodes. I have to say that it's been pretty good lately. We've seen court outbursts, the introduction of Maya Ward, our newest Quartermaine; we've seen Luke be a super-awesome dad, Sonny be a total dick, Conan, the over-attentive waiter, Claire, the sassy lawyer and Ghost Georgie come and gone so quickly. And Skye. SKYE!!! I generally don't read spoilers so I had no idea she was coming, but I have to say I'm beyond delighted and I hope it's not too fleeting. We've seen Kristina almost break a few times but no one can get through yet. I wonder who will finally break her?

Well let's start today's recap, shall we?

Maya is outside the Spencer house introducing herself to Lucky. He goes on about how much the Ward family was a big part of his childhood. Maya briefly tells Lucky about Grandpa Quartermaine's deal.

Kiefer fakes concern about Kristina for Dante's benefit. Dante seems to suspect something and subtly talks to Keifer like he's a suspect. He asks Keifer where he was that night. Keifer said he was at a party.

I'm happy to see Skye. Luke is happy to see Skye. You know who isn't? Tracy. Skye is also happy to meet Ethan who seems to have the same taste in women as his father.

Diane yells at Sonny who yells back. Jason tries to mediate things. Sonny shows what an idiot he is.

Credits: The most you'll see of Matt in weeks.

Ethan wants to get to know Skye who empathizes with Ethan's search for his parents reminiscing about the reason she originally came to Port Charles. Luke would like to be alone with the red-headed vixen but Tracy is not leaving.

Kiefer talks about the party and pretty much blames Kristina for the attack because she lied, even though he says he's not blaming her. Like a good little abuse victim, Kristina sides with Keifer. Kiefer leaves Dante alone with Kristina. Dante reminds Kristina of the conversation they had a while back about guys who use girls for sex. He guesses that she was talking about Keifer.

Maya asks about Lucky's parents and he tells her. Maya talks about living with the Quartermaines, being a 2nd year med student and her sister, Zoe. She asks Lucky's opinion of Edward. He has a pretty negative view of the old guy but sugar coats it a bit for Maya. He gets a phone call from Dante.

A sequestered Coleman is happy to see Kate. They start to make out in the hallway but are caught by the Judge who rushes Kate off. Kate runs off like a caught schoolgirl in a boys dorm. It's kind of embarrassing what Kate's become... The judge threatens Coleman to behave.

Diane finally gets Sonny to admit he messed up, but then he acts like the only reason it was a mistake was because Krisitina was in the courtroom and he didn't know. "I didn't know Kristina was in the courtroom!" "I didn't know Dante was my son when I shot him in the chest!" "I didn't know Michael was going to be shot when I brought him to my warehouse!" "I didn't know Morgan was gay!" But I digress. Jason asks Diane if she can get the jury back because he's the only one in the room who is actually listening to what Diane is saying. She thinks they have Coleman but that's about it.

Epiphany and Robin are discussing a case when Patrick comes by. He's still all pissy about Sonny and tells her about his outburst in the court room. They argue until Robin gets served papers to be a witness and Sonny's trial.

Johnny and Olivia gush over a brochure regarding a vacation she won. He says they'll go after the trial is over. She wants to know why he wants to watch. Instead of answering the question, he asks her if she's bothered that his testimony hurt Sonny. Instead of answering the question, she tells him as long he can walk away with a clear conscious. He kisses her goodbye. Kate sees this and approaches her cousin telling her that she's in a pickle and wondering what side she's on: Team Sonny or Team Johnny?

Court room! Claire and Diane goad and tease each other. It doesn't work with Diane but when she goads Sonny, he falls for it because he's a big fat idiot. My anti-Sonny rants seem to get worse with each recap. I guess that's because he becomes a bigger, fatter idiot each episode. Let's continue. Court is in session! I bet the judge will be sassy and full of warnings! He is! Claire brings back Johnny and Diane warns Sonny to behave by sticking him with her stiletto heel. Awesome.

At Kelly's, Dante tells Lucky about Keifer. Lucky agrees that he could be a suspect. He tells Dante about Keifer's weird parents.

Oh, the paternity test! Forgot about that! Helena doesn't look too worried. She tells Liz to open it. Nikolas comes in and tells Helena that she has no business being there. She disagrees. Elizabeth opens the test. By the look on Elizabeth's face, Nikolas can tell that he's the father.

Olivia doesn't think there's any conflict about the case. They talk about Sonny shooting Dante. Damn, everyone knows that! Why isn't Sonny in jail for shooting a cop?! You'd think CSI and the other cops would be all over this. Anyway, Olivia said she's lost all compassion for Sonny since then...so why didn't she tell the authorities that Sonny shot her son? It doesn't make SENSE! Carly comes by and asks Kate if she knew about Dante. They snark about Sonny and whatever, I'm bored. She finally leaves. Kate snarks about Carly's hypocrisy. Olivia thinks Kate should be happy that she never married Sonny. Kate thinks that after Sonny is acquitted (does anyone still think he won't be?), he'll come running after Olivia full force with the charm and the dimples.

Dante and Lucky talk more about the possibility of Keifer being the attacker. Lucky says he'll interview guys at the party while Dante will interview the Davis' neighbors. Lucky tells him about the discrepancy in Kristina's story.

Claire asks Johnny about the night of Claudia's birthday party. He tells her and the jury. He says he rushed to the party to warn Claudia that Sonny knew about what Claudia did. He says he wanted to warn her that Sonny was going to kill her. Objection!

Edward brings Maya over to the haunted star to get Tracy to apologize. It's of course just a contrivance to get him to see Skye because I doubt Maya would have gone along with this. He is happy to see Skye whom he calls his granddaughter. Tracy reminds him that she's not actually his granddaughter. Luke introduces himself to Maya talking about what a great admirer he was of Mary Mae. She tells him that she met Lucky earlier. Edward is happy about all the Quartermaines in the area. Luke wants to get rid of everyone because "Skye came over to see [me!]." Tracy leaves in a harumph.

Johnny has been excused from the stand. Outside the courtroom, Johnny thinks he could have done more and is mad that Claire dismissed him early. She tells him that she got exactly what she needed from him and she promises that she'll get justice for his sister. Inside, Diane thinks it's good that Claire stopped when she did. Sonny's not so sure.

Back at the Webber house, Helena has gone. Nikolas promises that he'll take care of them and he'll keep Helena away. Elizabeth was so sure that the paternity results would name Lucky. He promises that he'll be a better listener to her needs.

At the hospital, Helena pays the creepy lab technician for helping out with the other test. Helena, super-villain extraordinare, talks about destroying the Spencers..."with their own flesh!"

Lucky and Dante meet again with their respective reports. Lucky found out by a frat boy that Keifer left the party early because he was furious that his girlfriend stood him up. Dante found out that one of the Davis neighbors was almost hit by a light colored SUV that night. What does Keifer drive? A silver SUV! Dante doesn't think it'll be good enough to hold up in court. Lucky: "Who said anything about court?" Oooh. Wonder twins activate! Form of: Good cop, bad cop!

Robin is now on the stand. Claire asks her about Mac and her job. She asks about her relationship with Sonny as Patrick looks on from the gallery. Robin talks about Stone and how wonderful Sonny is. Diane thinks that Robin has helped with Sonny's character but Sonny knows that Claire isn't done. Ok, why are they making Sonny the smart one and Diane the dumb one? I mean seriously, why would Claire subpoena (I can finally spell that word on one try!) Robin to show how wonderful Sonny is?

Jax leaves a message for Claire. After he gets off the phone, Tracy comes in with a proposition.

Ethan and Luke talk about Skye's "net worths" as both an actuality and a euphemism while Skye talks with Maya and Edward. Luke asks for Ethan's help. He wants Ethan to take Maya and Edward away so that he can have a moment with Blaze. Ethan tells Maya and Edward that he wants to take care of Maya's car. It works. They're out of there. Alone at last, Luke asks Skye why she came back.

At Kelly's, Dante questions Keifer. He totally plays good cop. I guess Lucky will be bad cop. Kiefer plays it cool while the wonder twins do their routine. He makes it seem like he's saying that Kristina asked for it. Lucky calls him on it.

Luke tells Skye that she's been away a while but you'd never know it to look at her. He says she looks amazing which I totally agree with. Flirty music plays and then Tracy drags Jax in.

Carly and Jason discuss Sonny's trial. He tells her that Robin is on the trial. Carly thinks that means Sonny will definitely be convicted but Jason thinks it'll be OK. Jason thinks Carly's testimony is the key.

Claire wants to know what Robin heard Sonny say at the party to Claudia. Robin gets all flummoxed. She begins to summarize but Claire wants it word for word. Robin recaps it. She asks Robin what Sonny called Claudia. Robin stutters out, "A faithless bitch." Claire, "Then what happened?" Robin tries to defend Sonny but Claire just wants to know what he said. Robin quotes, "Claudia has lied to us for the last time." DUN!
