OMG, y'all. I'm so sorry. My recaps have been few and far between lately and I apologize to my hundreds....let's make that tens of readers. :) This week I've been doing 12 hour days on "Rescue Me". Relax, I was just an extra. Extra work sucks - it's hours of sitting on your ass. Very much a "hurry up and wait" mentality. So yesterday I watched four episodes of GH in a row. Anyway I'm back now - so here we go -

We start with Olivia trying to get out of an awkward dinner/conversation with Sonny. She knows how this usually goes: They anecdote about something stupid and inevitably Sonny says something stupid about Dante that pisses her off.

Carly recognizes Brook Lyn in a picture with her arm around Dante. She tells Spinelli about Ned and Lois....except she pronounces Lois' last name as Cerilla...instead of Cerillo. She ponders how she can use this info. Why is Dante's picture all over the internet when he's an undercover cop? And more importantly, why didn't Spinelli find this before...when he was still undercover? And most importantly, why can't Carly use google like everyone else?

Mayor McCheesey doesn't want Jason sent to Pentonville for some reason. He pretty much knows the little plan. Dante comes in and wants to know what's going on.

Prisoner McRapist tells Michael that the rules change in prison. He gets closer explaining those rules, going as far as touching Michael's face. When Michael doesn't react how he wants, Prisoner McRapist pushes him against the wall and tells him Pentonville is about surviving.

Credits: Matt: "Dude - you missed me. I was on yesterday!"

Everyone argues against the Mayor. The Mayor wants to get Jason for something that will lead to more jail time. The Mayor tells Jason he's going to be spending time at the PCPD for a while. This make Jason angry. Jason smash. The mayor leaves all self-satisfied. Sam thinks Michael will be fine for now.

Prisoner McRapist tries to hit that, but Michael punches him and tries to run away. Prisoner Rapist wants to know where he's supposed to escape to. He leaves saying he'll be repaid his debt. Why is he leaving, then?

For some reason, Olivia hasn't left. They do as she said in the beginning and reminisce and anecdote and intentionally try to bore me.

Mode Lite: Maxie reminds Lulu how the town hates her. She thinks Lulu shouldn't tell Dante about the abortion. Lulu knows that secrets always come out...also, they create walls. Or something.

Carly wants to know everything about Brook Lyn. She also wants to know why the water in Brooklyn seems to make dimples in all the people.

Maxie looks way too skinny. She tells Lulu to tell Dante about the abortion in a public place. Maxie shows Lulu some dresses for her fake date with Matt...who enters through the elevator. MATT! Two days in a row! Lulu drags Maxie to talk to her privately. Lulu thinks it's a bad idea because she's the smart one. Maxie likes "plans" and thinks this will work.

Spinelli talks about Ned, Lois (he says her last name right) and Brook Lyn's whereabouts. And apparently Brook's been a bad girl. Also, she doesn't get her trust fund from Grandpa Quartermaine until she becomes 30. This gives Carly an idea for a plan.

Dante tells Jason he'll talk to the mayor and goes off. Jason thinks he's just going to mess it up. Outside, the Mayor tells Dante that Jason won't be going to Pentonville yet. Dante takes this opportunity to blackmail the Mayor. So much for the law, Dante. Mayor McCheesey has been seeing hookers. Dante goes back into the interrogation room to tell Jason that the guard is on his way.

Matt's wondering if this is a date. Maxie says it's not a date; she just needed an escort. He impresses her with his museum and fashion and New York knowledge. She's intrigued... Is it too soon for Lulu to say, "I told you so"?

Jason worries he's taking Sam for granted. She says she'll be strong. He hugs her by putting his handcuffed hands over her head. Romantic! The guard comes in to take him away. Sam goes out and cries.

Lulu comes to see Spinelli. He graciously lets her in. He talks about his bleak future without his sugar daddy. He understands why she made the decision she did.

Dante comes to the Metro Court to see his mom and dad eating together. Olivia thinks it'll end with her dessert in his face. Dante comes to join them. He snarks at Sonny and his mom: "I wonder what slop they're serving Michael at Pentonville while you're stuffing your faces with this good food". Why you attacking your momma, boy?

It's lock-down and Michael warily goes into his cell. Prisoner McRapist looms by.

Maxie continues to be impressed by Matt when he tells her how he hurt his wrist: He wrestled some guy away from his dog that the guy abused. All that and an animal lover! He wants to take her to Jake's unless "Spinelli will blow a gasket". She says that Spinelli trusts her. Should he? Matt is glad to have a date.

Lulu argues on Dante's behalf. Spinelli is worried about Jason.

Dante chides his mom for eating with Sonny. Sonny tries to be all heroic and tell Dante not to talk to his mom like that, but Dante cuts him off with "I'll get to you in a minute." Nice. He continues with his mom telling her that Sonny is using her to get to him. He then redirects his anger to Sonny telling him that he should be feeling like crap because he got his son in prison. Sonny says it's just dinner. Dante knows it's not. He storms off.

Hey, it's Brook Lyn! Carly enjoys watching her manipulate a hot dog man into giving her a free food and money for the subway. Carly makes her presence known.

Michael wants to do his time in peace! Prisoner McRapist laughs because he has the box set of Oz in his cell. Michael's cell door closes before Prisoner McRapist can live up to his name.

Carly pays the hot dog man and brings Brook away. Brook is not happy to see Carly who tells her she's in the "neighborhood" looking for her.

Dante tells Lulu all about what happened with Mayor McCheesey and Jason and then about Sonny and his mom.

Sonny doesn't think Dante should affect Olivia's mood. She's concerned about seeing this side of Dante and claims he's never been like that. Sonny dips into his fantasy world for a bit and Olivia calls him on it.

Sam gets back to Jason's apartment and cries. Spinelli comes and comforts her.

Michael lies in his cell. Prisoner McRapist finds his way in. He wants some pretty boy tail tonight. I wonder if this is the real reason Drew Garrett left. It makes more sense than "we wanted to go in a different direction."

Carly wonders why Brook has gone all juvie. She offers Brook cash to do her bidding.

Dante's still all upset about his mom and Sonny having dinner. He talks more about his mom's courage of having a kid at 15. Lulu doesn't like where the conversation is going. He sense something is wrong.

Sonny comes home to find Johnny waiting for him. Sonny says he can shoot Johnny for trespassing. The phone rings. Johnny tells Sonny that it's Bernie with bad news.

Jason gets escorted into prison.
Back in the cell, Mayor McRapist is all talk and no action. He tells Michael again that it's time to pay up. Dude - less talking, more screwing. That's my motto, at least.
