This recap is getting a bit of a late start because I came home to find my ceiling collapsed. Yes, that's right. I lost my job, I have no valentine, I cancelled my trip to Australia this morning and there is a giant hole on the top of my hallway closet. My life is like a country song. And yet, I'm still here: recapping General Hospital just for you.

Lucky and Ethan are drinking at Jake's. That sounds like a good idea right now. Ethan is trying to comfort Lucky. Lucky is as bitter as I am.

Crazy Gal goes to the church where she and Lucky were married. I bet there's a flashback. In 5...4..3...2...And there it is! She flashbacks to L&L at the Spencer house where Lucky is being his awesome self.

Jason's pad: Molly and Morgan tell Jason and Sam about what happened between them and Michael at Kelly's. There's a lot of names in that sentence right there.

Michael explains to Mac what happened the night of Claudia's murder. Mac stops him to make sure he knows what he's doing.

Credits

It's snowing outside Dante's hotel room. They flirt and talk about Valentine's and Dante is upset about being fired. Get over it, Dante. They discuss Reyner's douchebaggery. Lulu wants him to fight for his job.

Morgan wants Jason to stop them but he doesn't want to just show up at the PCPD to arouse suspicion. Luckily, Sam has parking tickets just for this occasion. I guess she sold her hooker boots on ebay. She runs off to rescue Michael. Molly wants to know why they didn't just go to the police in the first place. Poor, sweet, naive, annoying Molly.

Sonny's plan is to say he did everything that Michael did. Diane and Carly don't think it's going to work. The arguement gets pretty heated.

Michael continues his story despite Mac's warning. Mac thinks he's faking it.

Lucky wonders if Ethan has ever fallen in love. Ethan says he has but I don't think we're meant to believe him. Lucky gets all philosophical and then tells Ethan about the time he 'died'. They talk about how crazy Helena is but neither of them know she's in town.

Elizabeth talks to God. She flashbacks again to Lucky asking Elizabeth to "be [his] girl". Is this flashback from 1954?

Sam shows up to the PCPD to pay her ticket. She makes an excuse to go to the ladies room so she can see Michael in the interrogation room.

Mac tells Michael that there is evidence that Sonny was in the cabin but Michael insists that he did it. Sam busts in to save the day but it's not needed. Mac kicks both of them out. Sam lies to the cop that she forgot her check book and can't pay the ticket and Mac finds out the fake reason why she was there.

Helena either doesn't get Nik's sarcasm or just ignores it because she has better things to talk about. She wants an heir and Spencer won't do. They talk about Emily, Helena calling her a 'twit' and saying "but she's dead now" in that wonderful deadpan delivery she has. Nikolas doesn't want any more kids. He barely sees the one he has.

Ethan brings up Liz's marriage to Ric Lansing. Lucky lists off all the "dark and deeply troubled" guys that Elizabeth has been with: Ric, Nikolas and Jason. And of course, Zander, who died in a police shoot-out. He's the one who got off lucky.

Crazy girl flashbacks some more about the good times. Gosh, they were so young!

Lulu is reading Smarm magazine. Smarm?? Dante wakes up; he wants to know where Lulu went before. She jokes that maybe she was setting up a hot Valentine's date. Jax stops by because Lulu wants him to help Dante get his job back.

Diane tells Sonny he has until the trial to change his mind and after reprimanding him, leaves. Sonny tells Carly that Diane is just making it seem harder than it really is. Carly isn't buying it.

Jason leaves a message for Diane. Molly and Morgan come in with junk food and Sam comes home with Michael. Jason is frustrated. Michael is frustrated. Everyone is frustrated. Jason just wants Michael and everyone to shut their mouths.

Helena reasons that she doesn't want Spencer to suffer the burden of his heritage. Hee. Nikolas argues that he doesn't want to raise another son just so he can play favorites.

Ethan wants to know why Lucky isn't angrier with Nikolas. They joke about the possibility of a duel. Lucky says Elizabeth keeps finding guys she can't resist sleeping with. Ethan wonders if it's easier to blame Elizabeth but Lucky makes it clear that he hates both of them.

Dante informs Jax that Rayner knows he was lying about his statement. Dante doesn't want Jax's help. I think he does but he's too ashamed to accept it since his statement will make it harder to get Sonny in jail and that, after all, is what Jax wants most. Lulu feels for Jax and doesn't know why Carly keeps defending Sonny. Neither does Jax. Neither does most of the audience.
Jax leaves telling Dante to call him if he changes his mind. Lulu leaves to do something Valentine's related.

Carly and Sonny argue about the trial. She tries to convince him that there's too much evidence against him.

Lucky and Ethan are playing pool. Lucky bitterly watches a kissing couple. Ethan brings up the flyer and his knowledge of Elizabeth's rape. Lucky talks about how he found Elizabeth's that day. Ethan gets all psychologist wondering if Elizabeth has a fear of disappointing Lucky but Lucky says that maybe he loved the memory of Elizabeth more than Elizabeth herself. At least that's what I got out of it.

Mopey Crazy Gal is still at the church.

Lulu comes home to find her apartment decorated with V-day decorations. Maxie almost comes out naked before she realizes it's Lulu. Lulu thinks she may be over-compensating.

Mac comes to visit Dante. He knows about the firing and thinks Sonny will try to get rid of Dante. And then? Mac offers Dante a job. Yeah!

Sam asks Molly to keep Michael's crime a secret. Molly gets it. Jason sounds like a message boarder saying that so many people know that Michael killed Claudia that he wouldn't be surprised if the cops found out too. Hee. It's like he's outside the TV, looking in and realizing how ridiculous it all is! He makes them swear to keep the secret. Molly and Morgan do. Michael? Cut to a new scene.

Carly and Sonny argue some more. It's boring. Nothing new comes out.

Maxie and Lulu plan their respective holiday evenings. Maxie offers her some condoms.

Mac wants Dante's word that he won't compromise his job or himself by protecting Sonny. Dante agrees. Mac has a first assignment for Dante. He wants Dante to get sufficient evidence to subpoena Michael because he thinks Michael was a witness.

Carly wants Sonny to leave the country. She wants him to swear that when she says it's time, he'll go. He finally agrees and hugs her. Jax walks in at that exact moment and is pissed. He thinks she's throwing herself at Sonny to get back at him. Not quite - but close.

Lucky walks in the church (why?) and sees Crazy Elizabeth unconscious on a pew. He tries to wake her up. I hope this doesn't lead to him becoming Mr. Hero man, again..
