January 29 2010

As we know from all the spoilers and adverts, today is the big day. So let's get to it. Today's broadcast is brought to you by West Side Story.

Tonight, tonight, won't be just any night. Michael is looking smart in a suit. He joins Morgan who is checking out all the gifts. He says it's like Christmas, and Michael agrees except that the christening actually means something. Carly comes in and watches her boys. Morgan says the christening is like a "free pass at heaven". And that, ladies in gentlemen, is religion. Carly tells Morgan to get a tie and to tell Jax to hurry up. Carly says that Michael is the reason they're all there since he killed Claudia. He thinks that it ruined his "free pass". Just pray, Michael. Don't you know how these things work? Jax comes in with a fruiffy little bassinet. The phone rings and the lil errand boy Morgan answers the door. It's Jax's mum! She's so excited!

Tonight there will be no morning star, Kelly's: Lulu really wants Lucky to be at the christening but Lucky really doesn't want to go.

We're gonna cut 'em down to size tonight. Ronnie is at Dominic/Damte's. He thinks it's a mistake to give Sonny extra time. He's had a year and a half. What's one more afternoon?

We're gonna hand em a surprise tonight. Jason informs Sonny that everything is in place to make Dominic's death look like an accident. They're excited. Olivia stops by. She says something about stopping Sonny but I think we're supposed to think that she means something she doesn't mean. Get what I mean?

Credits: Let's rumble!

Lucky tells Lulu not to be nervous about going to the christening. She still wants him to go but he barely even remembers the invite since he was wasted. He starts in on Nikolas and Liz again but he just doesn't want to be negative today. Lulu wants him to stop thinking about himself and go. He thinks there's something more to it but she lies and says today's the day that everyone should just get along. Take that, Rodney King.

Dante is surprised that Ronnie thinks he is trying to ruin the case and Ronnie responds that.... oh it doesn't matter. The important thing in this scene is that Ronnie's hair is this unnatural shade of black and I totally want dye my hair that color. It's so black, it's almost blue.

What Olivia meant by her pre-credit vagueness is she doesn't want Sonny to turn this day into it being all about him. How can anything not be about Sonny? He's sonny. It's always about Sonny. Jason assures them things will be fine and leaves. Olivia wants to know why Sonny is so nervous.

Lady Jane gushes over the kids She and her falsetto voice inform the Jax clan of the presents she bought for Josselyn including a tree. They let you bring that passed customs? Carly is thrilled. She sends the boys up to tell the nanny to get Josselyn ready. Carly says she needs to run an errand. Now? Jane is happy to be alone with her son. They talk about Jax's dad. Lady Jane wants to know why Jax is sad on such a happy day.

Jax fills Jane in on everything that's been going on for the past six months. Again, he says that he'll be honest with Carly. When, Jax? After she knows?

Olivia pretends she's not flirting with Sonny. He wants to know how Johnny is. She says in her round about way that she doesn't really want Johnny. She wants Sonny. But Johnny is safer. Although really? But she doesn't exactly say any of that. I've liked Olivia for a long time but she is really starting to bug. She's so unfair to Johnny. Poor kid fell in love with a MILF and this is what happens. Carly stops in and sees Olivia tying Sonny's tie. She says they had the same idea. To tie Sonny's tie? Is he that helpless? Oh. They both wanted to come over to Sonny's to tell him to play nice at the christening. Olivia leave Sonny to Carly. And blah blah blah, I'm glad we're friends and blah blah blah, we've been through so much.

Dominic has come downstairs. He and Lulu are both nervous. They part ways so that Lulu can stop by the Haunted Star but not before they kiss goodbye. I'll see my love tonight. And for us stars will stop where they are!

Liz is at the Haunted Star talking to Luke in his office. He's willing to listen to Liz. She apologizes for being a total whore and Luke accepts her apology. I thought we were done with Liz this week. Lulu stops by and is not happy with what she sees.

Lucky is at the church and looks hot in his dark suit. He really needs to shave that facial hair. It's just not growing in right, sweetie. His eyes get red and he talks to God. God: I'm more concerned about this whole Sonny/Dante thing. Jason overhears the God/Lucky conversation but only the Lucky part because God is still ignoring him. Lucky assumes Jason heard about the split and he wants to talk to Jason about Jake.

Jax talks to Josselyn. Josselyn doesn't talk back because she too is more concerned about the whole Sonny/Dante thing. Carly walks back in from her trip to Sonny's. Carly is happy as can be. Just wait, Carly.

Dante has been summoned to Olivia's. She's all reminiscent about Dante's christening. Gosh, such a fuss over this ceremony. We Jews have the same fuss but in the end, we lose a bit of our penis. It's just not the same thing. The phone rings and it's Sonny. He needs Dominic over there right away. Gee, I wonder what's going to happen. Olivia is concerned because apparently she saw some spoilers too.

Michael and Jax argue about Sonny a bit more. Michael wants to know if Jax took care of everything. He lies and says he's working on it. Carly and Jane come in with their coats on, ready to go. They all go to the christening. Today the minutes seem like hours, The hours go so slowly, And still the sky is light...

Lucky moans some more. Jason still believes that Lucky is what's best for Jake and Cameron. Lucky isn't so sure.

Liz finally gets a bit snippy and tells Lulu she's not going to sit through her righteous indignation again. She thanks Luke for his 'compassion' and leaves. Lulu is pissed that Luke was being nice to her but Luke wants to know why she's putting the blame solely on Elizabeth. She says she's mad at Nikolas too but thinks it's Liz's fault. Luke's been smoking too much pot and talks about boomerangs and judgement or something.

Tension! Sonny eyes his gun as Dominic/Dante walks in. He lies and says the guards are all at the church. He gives D/D the fake instructions and says he should be done by nightfall. D/D guesses that he'll be dead by nightfall. The Sharks are gonna have their way, tonight!

Church. Everyone's there except grandma Bobbie of course. Maxie and Spinelli discuss Lulu and Dominic. Lulu is glad that Lucky is there and Lucky is glad that Ethan is there.

Cat and mouse game: Cat doesn't know why Mouse is so paranoid. But Mouse explains that he knows this wasn't a last minute thing and that he's afraid his brakes might "fail". Cat thinks that would only happen if the mouse betrayed him. And of course Mouse hasn't woken up with a horse head in his bed.

Robin looks absolutely beautiful. Patrick is happy to be there as 'part of a community.' Johnny reluctantly walks in but Carly makes him feel welcome. Olivia catches Johnny and pretends like she wasn't spending the morning fawning all over Sonny. She's worried because both her son and Sonny aren't there.

Dominic plays that he's sick that the suspicion that he encountered when he first arrived in Port Charles is back. Sonny basically tells him to cut the shit and so he does. Dominic/Dante explains that he wanted everyone to have one last good day. He takes out his badge and formally arrests Sonny. (With no gun or handcuffs). The Jets are gonna have their way, tonight!

Johnny and Lulu are both concerned that Dominic isn't there. Carly is also concerned about Sonny. Jax says they need to get started and so they do.

Sonny has the right to remain silent but he doesn't. Instead, he takes out a gun.

The priest that shows up every once in a while, Father Coates, starts the rites.

Dominic/Dante tells Sonny that he doesn't want to add cop-killer to the list of crimes he's already being arrested for. Sonny thinks it'll be ok because no one will ever find his body.

Father Coates talks about Christ and throws water on Josselyn.

Sonny talks about how much he liked Dominic/Dante.

The priest blesses the God parents.

Sonny wants to know if Dominic has any last words. He brings up Mr. Poletti, his reason for all of this. He monologues about what a great guy Poletti was. He gets all emotional about what an ass Sonny is - the actor is doing a great job, by the way - and for a moment it seems like the old Dominic/Dante is back. The one who hates crime and mobsters. Even mobsters whose hearts are made of gold and chocolate. And it seems like this character could be redeemable after all.

More throwing water on Josselyn. Everyone seems happy about it so I guess it's a good thing.

Sonny says he doesn't remember Poletti but if he killed him, then he deserved it.

More baptizing. More Jesus.

Dominic thinks Sonny should pray for his kids. Sonny: "Goodbye, detective." He shoots Dominic. Dominic is down. Olivia walks in and screams. Her cries are mixed with Father Coate's speech. She calls her son 'Dante' and chooses now to inform Sonny of his parentage. Sonny: Whaaaaaaaaaaa?

Toniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!
