It's a nice cold day in New York. Let's get GHing. Apologies - after reading yesterday's blog, I will proofread before posting :)

Jason has escorted Carly home and Carly wants him to stay - Jason wants to go. She just wants to make sure he's OK and not beating himself up about Franco.

Dominic sets Michael straight and basically tells him not to be a dick to Kristina or women in general and says Sonny would never do that. Really? Michael says Dominick knows nothing about Sonny or having a father at all. Ouch.

Sam sees Lulu overhearing and wants her to hear what Lucky would have to say re: choosing between elizabeth and Lulu. Lucky makes the argument that it's different because Elizabeth is a mother. How does that help his argument that Jason should have saved Lulu?

Nikolas stops by Liz's. He confronts Liz about Lucky attacking him. He thinks they should tell Lucky the whole truth. Liz ain't hearin' it.

Credits Hi Justice! Hi Alcazar! Wait - you've both been gone for ages!

Carly tells Jason everything is fine, he did the right thing, blah blah pep talk. Jason keeps beating himself up. Jason says Franco was smart. Meh. He finally admits theyre a lot alike.

Johnny stops by the hotel to see Olivia. He's been trying to get answers about the body they found in the blown up building. He wants to give Claudia a proper burial. She's been worried about him - or so she says. Johnny thinks she's more worried that they'll find evidence that Sonny is responsible. You and me both.

Michael and Dominic continue to argue. Michael keeps acting like a dick. Dom says not to put Sonny on a pedestal.

Lucky apologizes to Sam. Lulu and Sam rehash the last moments before the bomb went out. Lucky apologizes again and tells Sam he's really grateful that she and Lulu are both safe and alive.

Nikolas doesn't get it. Neither do I. I don't like either of them right now but at least Nikolas is the only one being honest with himself and Liz. Liz just keeps leading two men on. She has a history of doing that. I remember a time when I actually liked Elizabeth. Nikolas asks once more for Liz to choose him.

After the commercial:
Elizabeth: "I know I'm not being fair to you right now.."
Nikolas: "Forget about me. What about Lucky?..."

Mode Light: Maxie gives Lulu her "ridiculously expensive" purse because she feels guilty about Lulu almost dying. Lulu's like 'ain't no thang.'

Michael finds it funny that Dominic is bad-mouthing Sonny. I find it hopeful. Michael thinks Dom is using Lulu, Carly etc to get to Sonny. Dom says that even Sonny doesn't want Michael to be like him. Michael continues to make it a dick-measuring contest with Sonny as the judge.

Jax is at the hotel office. He tells Jonny he's sorry about what happened to Claudia. Jonny thinks Jax will be happy with the results of her death: Sonny going to prison. Jonny leaves. Jax insists that he's not looking forward to Sonny's arrest because it will tear apart his family. He blames Sonny. Olivia defends Sonny...again. They talk about Dante finding out the truth for the millionth time. Once Sonny is arrested, Jax wants to tell Carly his involvement in his arrest. Olivia hopes he's prepared for the consequences.

Jason keeps talking about his evil twin, Franco. Carly makes Jason's ego bigger...again. Mobster with a heart of gold...blah blah blah - we've heard it all before.

Hospital; Lisa thanks Patrick for defending her to Steven. She pretty much double dares him to drink beer. Yeah, I don't know. Robin watches all jealous-like. She comes over.

Dominic asks "Ted" (a new young police officer extra) at the PCPD about the found body. He says it's against procedure to give that kind of information and the way Dominic is handling it "Ted" says he sounds like a cop. You know who else thinks Dominic sounds like a cop? Johnny. He walks in and calls him "Detective Falconari" for the first time. DUN!

Spinelli is spray painting over one of Franco's Tags. Sam walks in and he explains what he's doing. Sam reveals to Spinelli that some people think that Jason should have saved Lulu. Spinelli waxes poetic about art. She takes the spray can and continues Spinell's project.

PCPD holding room. Jason is there. Lucky walks in. Jason starts - but Lucky cuts him off and tells him to shut up! WHOA! He gets on Lucky about Jake. He says Jason is a glaring reminder that he has a really bad habit of trusting the wrong people. Perfect cut to:

Liz and Nikolas. Hee. Liz says for the millionth time that she doesn't want to hurt anyone...she's so confused...blah blah blah. Nikolas argues for the billionth time that it's not fair to Lucky...blah blah blah. Blah blah blah, Emily. Remember when Emily left Zander for Nikolas? Nik uses it as an example of why Liz should leave Lucky. Wait, what? So...everyone's in love with Nikolas and should leave their S.O.'s? I know that's not actually what he's saying but a big egofest is going on. He brings up that she left her kids and went all the way to the airport to get him. Well....that's just Liz, really. She's a flake like that.

We come back from the break to see....Liz and Nik again. She actually has the balls to bring up the rape again. Nikolas calls it gratitude - not love. First of all - she was in love with him before that. It had nothing to do with the rape. Second -that was like 10 years ago.

Meanwhile Lucky yells at Jason again about the whole Jake/Elizabeth fiasco. Then he apologizes. Oh stop yelling at people and then apologizing! He says another investigator will take over. Jason wants him to know that he respects him and he's sorry for being dishonest about Liz and Jake. He sees how safe Lucky keeps Jake. He is grateful that Jake has him as a father. Aw.

Dominic drags Johnny into a closet and they make out. Wait...I mean...Dom wants to know how Johnny found out about him being undercover. He says he overheard him and Lulu talking. They agree that they both don't want Lulu and Olivia to be involved. Johnny warns Dominic about Sonny - but he doesn't mind if Dominic takes down Sonny. Johnny gets defensive about Claudia.

Maxie finds Spinelli in the alley. Is this just everyone's walk to work? Why is everyone in this alley? Before a big argument can stir up about Maxie being unfaithful, she takes Spinelli for a "change of scenery".

Big boxes at Jax and Carly's house. Carly wants to know what it is. She tells Jax that they found Claudia's body. He doesn't want to worry about it. They're "all safe". He reassures her that it'll all be ok.

Robin says Patrick defended Lisa to save his own ass - he supported her doing two surgeries in a row so that she will support him right back when he does the same thing....because he's trying to prove that he's not some bored married guy.

Robin doesn't want him to push himself too hard. He says it's her fear. They argue and then they banter about smirks and head tilts. It's actually pretty cute. They kiss, to Lisa's disappointment.

Michael and Morgan come in. Carly says they're going skiing! Morgan is excited. Michael, not so much. He says he's not going to go.

Sam, meanwhile is creating some graffiti himself. Jason pulls up. Why is everyone in alleys??? He likes her heart graffiti. Jason apologizes for Franco again. Sam tells him to stop and says he's just as much of a victim. Jason says he's not a victim - he just didn't understand Franco's rules until it was too late.

Mode Light; Lucky apologizes to Lulu about going off before. He wants to make sure Lulu is ok. She says she is - basically. He asks Lulu about the Jason/Liz/Jake secret. He wants to know if she's keeping anything else. She insists she doesn't know he's talking about. He then asks if she knew about Nikolas being in love with Elizabeth.

Robin is all dressed and ready to go but stops by so that Patrick can say goodbye to Emma. He wants to walk her out but he gets paged. Robin and Emma leave. Lisa seems happy.

Lulu says she had no idea and wants to know why Lucky thinks it. He rehashes the [fake] tale. He thinks Nikolas has been manipulative. Lulu can't believe it.

Michael insists on staying home but the family wants him to come. They unite in saying that they won't go if Michael doesn't go so he agrees. They're all excited to see Carly fall. How nice! :)

Sam wonders what happens now that Franco is MIA. They wait for the autopsy on Claudia's body. They kiss. Please note that they're way too lightly dressed for winter in upstate New York.

Johnny at Sonny's Restaurant. Dom walks in. They share a bottle of wine. Johnny thinks Dom has guts for walking in there. Johnny says they're not friends - they just have a similar agenda. Spinelli crashes - apparently he has news. He reveals that the body is indeed Claudia and the cause? Blunt force murder to the head. Murder investigation, but who will head it? Dominic/Dante is undercover; Lucky recused himself from the case - who's left? Mac? He's too busy saying the words that the silly writers write for him. Poor Mac. On that note - I saw an old episode of 21 Jump Street with a young Mac. He played a guy who rapes and beats handicapped girls. One word: HUNK-E!
