March 10, 2010

Welcome back to the island. They had to use this set again sometime. Jason and Sam are enjoying the weather. Sam wonders why they have to wait for an emergency to take a vacation. Jason just wants to enjoy the time they have together there. They make out but are interrupted by Michael. He wants to know if Jason and Sam will be returning to Port Charles soon.

At the Haunted Star, Luke has been thinking about Ethan's immigration status. Ethan doesn't want to talk about it. He has a date with the playboy bunny. Luke knows that it's no coincidence that Ethan met "Miss Busty" the night Bernie's place was raided. Kristina stops in. She asks Ethan for help.

Epiphany tries to talk to Patrick, but he's all distracted by thoughts of naked Lisa.

Maxie and Spinelli are still trapped in the storm drain. He's been trying to get a connection from his laptop. The battery is finally low - after being on all night? My laptop battery lasts about two hours. He lies to Maxie and says he's got a connection. I bet he can fit through those bars.

Credits: I generally like the new credits, but the green screen is awful.

Alexis and Diane have a new client: a famous opera singer. "Iris", the secretary, disses Diane's perfume before she goes. Diane clearly doesn't like Iris and her dowdiness. Alexis says, "We're women supporting women," which is when Claire walks in. She likes the phrase and wants to have a "cordial exchange of information".

Michael isn't really grateful for all the baby-sitting. Sam and Jason try to convince him it's for the best. He goes off to take a swim.

Kristina is doing a paper on poker and wants Ethan's help. Instead, he gives her the address for a website. She leaves but stays behind for a bit to spy. She hears Ethan say that if Kristina were more mature, he'd be a lucky man. What she doesn't hear is him say she needs to tack on about ten or twenty years. I have a feeling Kristina is going to take Keifer's advice and dress a little more maturely.

Patrick's not happy to be given the new "procedure codes" from Epiphany. He tells Robin he thinks the old ones were fine. They argue some more about Jake's and what Patrick wants. During this, Patrick eyes Lisa walking by.

Spinelli finally loses power and he also finally notices how cold Maxie is.

Patrick talks to Lisa about the nudity. He doesn't want her to get the wrong impression. She doesn't think it's a big deal since they see people near-naked in locker rooms all the time.

Spinelli tries to give Maxie some warmth and... oh no. It's one of Spinelli's black and white fantasies. He's Bogart and she's some blond bimbo. Popping out of the fantasy, he realizes what a dick he's been and tells Maxie that he made everything up. Except she's asleep and can't hear anything. Someone finds them. It's Johnny!

Claire wants to know where Michael is. Alexis and Diane don't know. Claire guesses that Michael saw something that night and that's why Sonny shipped him out of the country. Diane and Alexis don't help and finally are able to get Claire out of there. Alexis is pissed that Sonny sent Michael out of the country. Diane thinks it's great since Michael is volatile and might do damage in the court room.

Sam is horny! Jason teases her a bit before he gives in. Michael, who has been watching, realizes they'll probably be busy for a while and takes the opportunity to steal Jason's keys and head out.

Tracy is checking up on Lulu at Mode-Lite. She warns Lulu about Dante.

Jennifer arrives at the Haunted Star. Luke smarms around her like a moth to a flame. He offers the first drink free cause she has big boobs and some sexist double-entendre is made about 'figures'. Jennifer may look the typical dumb blond, but she's great with numbers. She guesses about how much Luke makes a night, both over and under the table. How about all the nights he's closed? There are a lot of those. But now she wants Ethan who happily makes an entrance.

Sam wishes that they could stay at the island. Have they slept together yet? They're fully clothed, so I'm guessing not. Cock-tease. She likes the smiling, relaxed Jason. I kinda do too. They start to make out again but Sam is suddenly worried about Michael. Seriously. Cock-tease.

Johnny wants to know what Maxie and Spinelli were doing there but Spinelli doesn't want to say. He thinks Maxie might have hypothermia. Johnny picks up Maxie effortlessly and brings her to his car promising to come back for Spinelli. Spin hears her talk about Johnny saving people. Poor Spinelli although I would feel more sorry for him if he wasn't so stupid.

Kristina is out shopping with Keifer for sexy dresses. She does a stupid "trying on clothes" montage. Keifer doesn't like most of them. She finally settles on one he likes. It's a pretty plain purple dress that actually makes her look younger. It makes her looks like she's trying to look older.

Lulu defends Dante but Tracy tries to convince her that she'll end up with a broken heart. I kinda like momma Tracy. If only she were that way with Ned or Dillon. Lulu asks Tracy why she's with her father. Tracy thinks she and Luke are both black-hearted and perfect for each other. Lulu literally pushes Tracy into the elevator but she does seem flattered that Tracy is trying to look after her.

Epiphany is testing Robin on the new codes. Patrick comes over and teases them. After Epiphany leaves, Patrick gives Robin a rose because he's feeling guilty about seeing Lisa in her underwear. And liking it. After he leaves, Johnny carries Maxie in. He tells Robin that Spinelli is still in the car. Robin sends Epiphany outside with a wheelchair to get him in. I wonder if Johnny carried Spinelli to the car as well?

Molly stops by the law office to see Diane and is glad to see her mom isn't there. Molly tells Diane that Michael was the one who killed Claudia, assuming that Diane already knew. Which she did. Molly asks Diane not to tell her mom about Michael.
On cue, Alexis walks in.

Jason throws Michael back inside. He caught him attempting to take the speed boat. Jason thinks he was taking the speed boat to get back to the mainland.

Michael, Jason and Sam continue to argue about Claudia and confessing. He finally agrees to stay.

Molly lies that she's there to see the new offices. Diane lies that they were talking about Mac. Alexis insists that Mac and she are friends and have been for a long time. Alexis rushes her kid out of there. After Molly leaves, Alexis tells Diane that they lost their opera client because of Iris. Alexis and Diane play a rock/paper/scissors game to see who'll fire Iris. Diane wins.

Kristina is now in a black slender black dress that Keifer thinks is too hot. Again, she just looks like a little girl playing dress-up.

Jennifer and Ethan make plans for later. She idiot savants stating the definition of a light year which impresses Luke. I don't think he was actually listening though. Tracy watches from the side-lines. Jennifer also mentions the whole Johnny/Ethan thing in front of Luke. After Jennifer leaves, he makes another sexist comment but then catches himself by complimenting Tracy - who he obviously saw. Tracy knows this but she's flattered anyway and returns to hosting. Luke doesn't like that Jennifer knows about him and Johnny working together. Ethan says he's done with Johnny.

Robin is checking out Maxie. Johnny tells her that Spinelli is all right. Robin goes off to check x-rays. He asks her what they were doing in the storm drain and she tells him. Spinelli rolls in. Maxie thanks Spinelli for saving her. He tries to confess he didn't but Johnny helps out by saying that Spinelli sent him a text to find them.

Lisa stops Patrick for a consultation. She drags him into an elevator. He thinks there's an ulterior motive. And what happens every time people get into an elevator? It gets stuck.

Spinelli gets Johnny alone to ask him why he lied for him. Johnny says it was no big deal. Spinelli confesses about making up the serial killer. He feels sorry for himself, as always. Johnny says he was in the tunnels looking for new ways to move things. Is that a smart thing to tell the competition?

Robin tells Maxie that if she gets pneumonia, it could be life threatening because of her heart-transplant.

jason tells Sam that they have to get back. Sam is worried that Michael might split. She makes him promise that they'll return one day. Michael comes in and hands Jason a big shell wrapped in paper to take back. Hmmm. After Sam and Jason leave, Michael sees the keys to the speedboat. jason comes back to take the key. Michael calls someone to get a boat with "enough gas to make it to the mainland." He opens the door to see his new baby-sitters, Max and Milo decked out in hawaiian shirts and sunglasses.

Tracy jokes about Miss Busty. After she leaves, Luke asks Ethan how serious he is about Jennifer. Kristina listens while hiding as Ethan describes Jennifer's assets and tells Luke about the e-mail she's going to send about the club they'll be going to. He says they'll take it from there.

  1. I don't mind when they go back to the island but I get really confused when they move back and forth in time.

    This was a two day exercise in new clothes for Jason and Sam and nothing else.
    And speaking of changing clothing, the sequence with Kristina in the shop is disturbing on a number of levels. She's a sophomore in high school and she's going to a party with only college kids? Where's Alexis in this equation? Griefer wants her to be "hot" for his buddies but when she finally gets to where he thinks she does he says, "No. That might be too hot." And then she picks out something that is more like a nightgown than a dress. I'm hoping Molly gets a front and center for the debacle that's about to happen to her sister because Mommy is oblivious to what the kids are doing right now and she's going to need information about the real world that she's not getting from the great works of literature.

    I'm really hoping that Jennifer hooks up with Spinelli. They do the same job (tech support) for different arms of www.corinthos.org. And she being written as someone who is much smarter that Maxie and, without getting too graphic, looks like she might be able handle his browser plug-ins. Maxie is so obviously bad for Spin that he really did forget to email somebody for help. We were watching this and I had to stop the tape. "Honey (my wife who is fairly Mac literate)? He's hooked up to the interwebs. Why isn't he just sending an email?" And then Johnny shows up. "Well, Spinelli was wise enough to send me a text (text? And where were their cell phones during this whole affair?)." Oh, good. Spinelli's not really stupid after all. Oops. Spoke too soon. Maxie has completely sucked the brain cells out of his head.

    I gotta stop now, the writing's getting so bad. I don't even want to contemplate the Scrubs thing except Lisa has still not said anything that sways my notion that she's changed teams and is looking to hook up with Robin.


    So. Who knows that Michael whacked Clod?
    * - they were there
    • - somebody there told them
    ∞ - told by a reliable third party

    Claudia *
    Michael *
    Carly *
    The baby *
    Jason •
    Sam •
    Sonny ∞
    Max ∞
    Milo ∞
    Spinelli ∞
    Jax •
    Franco •
    Diane ∞
    Molly •
    Kristina •
    Morgan •

    I'd say that Franco's business manager knows but I think hers is the body that has Claude's DNA that got burned up in the warehouse 'splosion.
    Olivia had a copy of one of the Claud pix (her in the hole in the ground) that somebody (Jason, I think) left in her crib. Johnny found it; flipped out. Jason tells him that Franco sent it. Now he thinks that Clahd's dead as opposed to just missing. But does Jason tell him that Michael did it? I'm thinking, "No."
    If he knew wouldn't he tell Olivia? And wouldn't Olivia turn around and say something to Carly like, "I can understand why you won't let Michael take the rap for whacking Claud but don't you think it would be better for him to tell the truth (like she gets that concept) even though it would keep Sonny out of jail."?
    And if Johnny knew wouldn't he assume that Olivia knew and ask her, "Why didn't you tell me Sonny didn't actually kill Claudia? Yeah, he treated her like crap but, dammit, I thought he actually whacked her!"

    Not trying to impugn your sources whoever they are. Just having trouble wrapping my brain around all this.
