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!
