April 2 2010

Dante and Lucky continue their good cop/bad cop routine with Keifer. It's so obvious, yet so totally cute. Lucky gets into it but Keifer remains silent.

Alexis and Kristina talk about mundane things like SATs and college. If Kristina remains a popular character, she'll be going to PCU. Sorry, Alexis. Alexis brings up self-defense classes. Can't Sam teach her self-defense? I mean, she had that TV show. Alexis breaks the news that the police may continue to investigate. Kristina thinks her mom lied to her.

Carly is worried about Sonny's trial. She and Jason are both worried that Michael will still confess.

At court, Robin is still on the stand. Claire reiterates Robin's testimony. She asks if Sonny mentioned the baby that night. After some nudging, Robin quotes Sonny, "Thank God that baby wasn't born into our lives" and "Thank God, you'll never bore my child". Don't worry, he'll make more.

Credits: Did anyone else's credits do this weird thing where the music just got a decibel louder half way through?

Jax and Skye reunite at the Haunted Star. Tracy and Luke watch as Jax explains his separation and tells Skye about his daughter. Luke thinks that Tracy inviting Jax over was low.

Kiefer tries to dig himself out of the hole but ends up sounding more like an asshole. Lucky point blank tells him he left the party early and went to beat up Kristina. Keifer calmly tells them that that's now what happened. He begins to slip up as he remembers what really happened. Dante and Lucky work it cheesily but hey, it's working.

Kristina is pissed at Alexis. who tries to calm her down. She let's Kristina know that Luke wanted to pursue it because he believes Ethan is innocent and he has that right. Kristina sorta understands but she still doesn't like being kept in the dark. She's awfully judgmental of lying consider she's a big ol' liar herself.

Carly and Jason talk about Sonny jumping bail and going to South America. Jason thinks Michael should go with him but Carly doesn't want Michael going. Jason says that if he doesn't, then Claire will bring Michael back and question him. They agree that there are no 'good' options.

Claire again goes over the testimony instead of asking new questions. Diane and the judge pretty much ask her to move it along. She asks Robin when Claudia took Carly hostage. Robin answers it was when Sonny sent his bodyguards after Claudia to take her home. Claire gets Robin to compare the size of her bodyguards to the size of Claudia. She also makes it seem like Claudia was like a trapped animal. Before Robin can save her testimony, Claire cuts her off and says she's done with the witness. Diane couner-cross examines. Before she begins, she makes note that Sonny's primary bodyguard is "237 pounds dripping wet." Hee. And she should know! Robin explains why Sonny was so furious that night. Objection! Overruled! She goes on to praise Sonny. There are a lot of objections and sustains and overruled and people talking over each other until Diane asks Robin if she's known Sonny to ever be abusive to a woman.

Diane repeats the question. Robin questions if abuse is more than just physical but finally says she's never seen Sonny hit a woman. Does it count that he shot his ex-wife in the head while she was in labor with Morgan? Robin? Dismissed. Patrick follows her out. She's upset because she thinks she hurt Sonny with her testimony. Who's up next? Maxie Jones.

But Maxie is still in the hospital. She and Lulu are talking work. Spinelli is there too. She seems to be doing better.

Michael is bored on the island. He can't get internet, phone..etc. Max tells Michael that he heard from Diane. He lies that the trial is going well.

Jason thinks that Robin's testimony might help but Carly thinks Robin is too honest. Hee.

Kiefer gets mad until he finally realizes the obvious: That Lucky and Dante are playing him. He walks off but not before Dante warns him to stay away from Kristina. Lucky and Dante both now believe without a shadow of a doubt that Kiefer is the attacker. Dante vows to get Keifer. He refers to Kristina as his sister, often. Although he's not accepting Sonny yet, he seems to really be accepting the rest of his newfound family, which I really like.

Back at the Haunted Star, Luke sulks and Tracy calls him on it. They joke and banter. Luke moans about his kids but is happy to have Tracy by his side.

Jax and Skye drink at the Metro-Court. They're interrupted by someone named Warren, a handsome older gentleman who I didn't recognize at first as Keifer's father. After introducing Warren to Skye, they talk shop for a few seconds. Warren excuses himself. Jax tells Skye about Kristina. Over at the bar, Warren talks tensely on the phone before he's interrupted by Kiefer. Kiefer tells his dad what happened at Kelly's.

Maxie, Spinelli and Lulu talk about useless things until Epiphany comes in with a guy holding a summons. He basically throws it at her. She responds by having a (fake?) coughing fit.

Diane tells the judge that Maxie is at the hospital and cannot testify. Claire claims that Diane is trying to block the testimony.
Outside the courtroom, Patrick tries to cheer up Robin although she knows that he still wants Sonny in jail.
Back inside, the judge calls a recess to find out if Maxie is well enough to testify. He warns everyone not to leave the building.
Sonny walks outside the courtroom to find an apologetic Robin. She hugs him and tells him that she's sorry.

Maxie fixes her make-up to make it look paler and sicker. She asks Spinelli to go out and find a way to fix the machines to make it seem like she had a relapse. He leaves. Lulu wants to know why Maxie doesn't want to testify. She thinks that Maxie should tell the court what she saw. Maxie thinks ruining Sonny's life will ruin Jason's and by default, Spinelli's. She also thinks that Lulu's Sonny-hate will affect Dante. Lulu says that Dante's hate for Sonny is just as bad as hers but Maxie doesn't think so.

Back at the Metro-Court, Jax talks about his Carly woes.
At the bar, Kiefer and his dad talk about the case. Kiefer is worried. Warren thinks Kiefer should never have gotten involved with Kristina. He encourages Kiefer to talk to Kristina. It looks like he has some experience in these situations.

Lucky and Dante see Luke at the Haunted Star. They tell him that they're close to solving the case.

Michael somehow got a hold of a phone and calls Kristina. She tells him that the trial is going terribly and about Sonny going crazy in the courtroom. Even though Kristina knows that Michael killed Claudia, she still thinks her dad is guilty.

Sonny comforts Robin and tells her that she has nothing to be sorry about. Robin is still upset about her testimony. The judge has come to a decision: "If Miss. Jones can't come to court. Court will go to her." Field trip!

Sonny tells Jason and Carly about Robin's testimony back at his office. Carly thinks Robin should have lied. Sonny tells them that the next witness is Maxie.

Epiphany warns Maxie and Spinelli not to fuck with the machines. After Epiphany is gone, Maxie gets nervous. Spinelli reassures her. Epiphany comes in with a wheelchair for Maxie.

Alexis visits the Haunted Star. He tells her that he has news and that Ethan will be exonerated. Alexis still thinks Ethan is the attacker and hopes that she and Luke can get passed this.

Kiefer visits Kristina and she stupidly tells him that she's alone. Kiefer anxiously barges in and asks Kristina for help and then freaks out when she asks why. He wants her to reinstate the charges and stick to her story. She says that Dante and Lucky will figure it out and he freaks out some more and says they already have. Kristina finally comes to her senses but at the worst possible moment realizing she never should have blamed Ethan for something that Kiefer did. And that did it. Kiefer smacks her and she falls to the couch.

Sonny and Carly are worried about Maxie's testimony but Jason isn't.

At the hospital, the judge and council are set up with cameras so that the jury can see. Maxie fakes a coughing fit and Diane tells the judge that Maxie is too sick to do this. The judge warns Maxie of faking. Maxie swears to tell the truth...etc. Claire asks Maxie what she saw the night Claudia was murdered. Maxie begins to tell the tale of the koi pond. Claire finds it hard to believe that she was meeting a poolman at 3am. Diane snarks that Claire knows nothing about Kate, "although that's been obvious from the beginning." Zing! Maxie continues to tell what she saw. Claire states that Sonny was driving Michael's car. Maxie finally admits that it was. Claire asks if Michael was in the car with Sonny.

Michael gets his backpack out and sees the shirt he was wearing the night he killed Claudia. He flashbacks to swinging the axe.

Dante and Lucky interrupt Keifer's parents eating dinner at the Metro-Court. Warren objects. Lucky tells them that they're trying to establish a timeline. Warren again objects to the "misleading statements of a teenage girl."

Kristina is unconscious and bleeding on the lake house floor as Keifer yells at her. He runs off knocking into Alexis as he goes. Alexis finds her unconscious daughter.
