Beginning week three of unemployment. On the plus side, I'm eating like a horse. YAY!

Sam gives Ethan an earful about staying away from Kristina. He tries to defend himself but then Sam goes off about Ethan physically hurting Kristina. Ethan is surprised to hear about 'bruises'.

Back at the real house of physical violence, Kristina tries to crawl away from Keifer and it's just a really awful scene of Keifer pushing Kristina down over and over.

More manhandling! Helena manhandles the lab tech, Larry. She wants to know where the results to the paternity test are since she paid him to be able to see them first. He says they'll be ready in an hour but they're interrupted by Steven. He shoos Larry the lab tech away and asks Helena what business she has with the lab.

Lucky has been summoned to Crazy's room. She asks Lucky if he wants the baby to be his.

Jason wants to talk to Sonny in private. Dante tries to get more info on Michael's whereabouts. He implores Sonny to do the right thing.

Wow, five scenes in the teaser which brings us to....credits!

Helena doesn't appreciate impertinence! Thanks for always upping my vocabulary, Helena. She tells Steven that it's her family's money that's paying for the hospital and she can talk to whomever she pleases. She even threatens him with talk of skeletons in closets. Looks like Steven may have one. Who am I kidding, everyone in Port Chuck has one. Or three.

Lucky avoids Crazy's question by being vague and saying the right thing. She wants a real answer. He gives it to her: "I want to be away from you, Elizabeth." He thinks a kid will keep them trapped in something that doesn't work. She tries to accept the truth with a smile but gets him out of there.

Kate and Lulu rush Maxie to the hospital. Epiphany and Robin aren't happy with her. Kate even uncharacteristically takes the blame for being bitch-boss. Maxie tells them she's OK and just wants drugs but Robin asks Epiphany to page Monica(!), the cardiologist. Maxie looks scared for the first time.

Sonny tells Dante he's helping Michael "the best way [he] knows how." Well....Dante is giving you a better way! See how that works? Jason says that Sonny doesn't have to justify anything. Sonny and Jason argue whether Dante is welcome in Sonny's house. Dante thinks that Sonny is just protecting himself from going to prison. After Dante leaves, Jason wants to know if Sonny was planning on telling his son the truth.

Sam confirms that Kristina has bruises. Ethan tells her everything that happened with Kristina earlier but Sam doesn't quite believe him. Luke tries to intervene but Sam and Ethan continue to tear into each other's throats. Luke finally tells Sam that although he thinks Ethan could have handled it better, everything he said was true. Sam thinks it's a case of male chauvinism saying "she got what she deserved."

Poor Kristina is sobbing on the floor with bruises while Keifer really goes off the deep end, crying and saying awful cliche things like, "Look what you made me do". And while his whole act is cliche, it's still pretty accurate. He runs off while my stomach turns.

Kate asks Robin how Maxie is. Robin tells Kate that physically it's too early to tell but then snits about how she's doing emotionally due to work. After she walks off, Lulu tries to comfort Kate by telling her that they're used to her bitchy-bossness. But Kate's heart grew three sizes that day. She says that maybe they shouldn't take that from her. She gives Lulu the night off.
Spin rolls by and Lulu points him to Maxie's room. Inside, he starts to go ballistic about all the tubes and machines but Monica(!) tells him to dial it down. Maxie tells him not to worry.

Sam is very tiring criticizing Ethan and Luke. Ethan tries to defend himself again and leaves. Luke tells Sam that Ethan would never take advantage of an underage girl but Sam thinks he doesn't know that much about Ethan. She warns Ethan again before leaving. Luke tells Ethan that he has to keep his temper in check. Ethan says he needs to handle this on his own. He goes off, presumably to find Kristina. Oh gosh, I sense bad things.

Alexis and Molly are enjoying a sundae at Kelly's. Mmmm. That looks good. They talk about reading and writing and Alexis mentions her dad. Mikos, right? She waxes on a little about her childhood without really revealing anything. Dante comes by and sits with the girls. Molly talks about how awesome it is sitting with two people who are highly involved with Sonny's trial. She wants to know the inside scoop from them. Precocious little brat, ain't she?

Sonny doesn't know what's right anymore! That's quite an admission. Sonny thinks Dante would be compassionate if he knew the truth. Jason thinks Sonny doesn't want Dante to think that he's capable of beating a woman to death.

Sonny admits he doesn't want Dante to think of him as an abuser of women. But a killer of women is OK? I know Sonny didn't kill Claudia, but he would have. He wasn't just going to let her go. And didn't he kill Faith too? This is going to give me a headache if I think about it too much. He talks about Deke and his mom. Jason implores Sonny not to tell Dante the truth. After Jason leaves, Sonny calls Michael.

Molly is nosy and tactless but she makes for wonderfully awkward situations. Dante tells her he can't really discuss the case which she understands. Molly goes on about family which Dante says is the best part about the whole mess. He's always wanted to have brothers and sisters and a cute little annoying cousin. He also says that hell will freeze over before he calls Sonny, 'dad' and mean it. I'm glad he added the last part because he did call Sonny 'dad' the other day. But didn't mean it.
Lucky comes in and calls Dante over. Although he doesn't want to admit it, Dante thinks Michael will be the star witness for the prosecution.

The Haunted Star has been cleaned out. Tracy comes in and congratulates Luke on a great night. She sees that Luke isn't too happy. He's "sick of [himself]" and "stuck in parental hell". Hee. Tracy feels his pain. He tells Tracy about Ethan's stalker, Kristina.

Ethan is at the Davis house and finds Kristina on the floor. He carries her out of the house but not before she deliriously strikes out at him.

Dante and Lucky want to find Michael. They talk about the Corinthos clan and how all this must be tearing Michael up inside. Lucky gets a phone call and Lulu stops by Kelly's. Lucky leaves to interview an assault victim, presumably Kristina. Lulu thinks he's working too hard to get away from the Elizabeth drama. She also hopes that he's not her baby daddy.

Nikolas pops by to see Crazy. She tells him about the conversation she had with Lucky.

Luke tells Tracy about what happened between Ethan and Kristina although it seems that most of the story was told during the commercial break (Thank God!). Luke: "She comes in here dressed like a baby hooker." Hee! Tracy agrees that Ethan isn't the type to take advantage of a young girl. Luke is worried about daddy Corinthos. Luke's decided he's going to stop worrying about it.

Ethan runs into the ER carrying Kristina and yelling for help.

Robin tells Patrick how worried she is about Maxie. She compares Maxie's situation to her own. She gets paged and goes off to answer it. Epiphany brings Patrick in to see Kristina. He gets Epiphany to book an OR and thinks Kristina may have head trauma. He asks Ethan what happened. Ethan says he found her like that but it doesn't look like Patrick believes him. This is giving me an icky feeling.

Jason lends an ear to Spinelli as he whines. He's come to a decision. He thinks he's bad for Maxie and wants to let her go.

Mac doesn't know who to be mad at. Maxie asks Robin for help. Robin speechifies about getting caught up with their lives and not taking care of themselves. Maxie's response is to ask for Spinelli. She wants to look for him but Mac says that's not going to happen. Monica(!) comes in and tells Maxie that she has pneumonia which is causing strain on her heart.

Dante ordered Lulu some fries to which she is extremely grateful. Grateful enough to finally give it up? Seriously - find a room. He asks her if Maxie is going to be OK. She replies, "Yeah, of course - there's no other acceptable outcome." That's such a cute little 'aww' moment. They talk about food which somehow leads to Sonny. He tells her about his conversation with Sonny which he think went well until Jason showed up. Oh gosh, he's going to find out the truth and then protect Sonny and they'll all be having dinner together by Christmas. No, Easter.

Sonny has a drink on his own. He gets a call from Patrick regarding Kristina.

Alexis comes home to see the mess. She frantically calls out for Kristina until her phone rings. It's Epiphany telling her about Kristina.

Steven tells Lucky that Kristina may not be available for questioning any time soon. He chooses to wait anyway. Steven wonders who could have done this. Patrick, "Obviously someone who doesn't know who her father is." Outside, Lucky sees Ethan and his scratched face. He tells her what happened at the Davis house. Ethan wants to take off but Lucky says he'll need an official statement. Ethan leaves anyway. Oh, the ick.

Nikolas and Crazy talk more about Lucky and his decisions. Nikolas informs her that he had the paternity test sped up and they should hear about it soon.

It's ready now! Larry the Lab Tech brings the test results to Helena. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Ethan pours a drink at the Haunted Star when Tracy notices his face.

Alexis and Sonny show up at the hospital. Lucky asks what happened. They all want to know who hurt her. Kristina lies and says it was Ethan. Why, Kristina, why? ICK. This whole episode was full of ick.

Time for that PSA.

March 4, 2010

Day four of unemployment and it's hard to keep track of days! I can't believe it's Thursday.

Here we go:

We repeat a bit of what we saw yesterday with Lucky chasing a masked Johnny. Nikolas is signing the trust papers and Elizabeth is getting her test. And bang!

Nikolas wants Alexis to file the paperwork asap. As an attorney, she'll do it but as his aunt, she wants to just burn the papers up because she thinks this will make Elizabeth and the baby targets for Helena.

Crazy is relieved that the test is over. Kelly tells her that she'll know the results in a few days.

Johnny's bullet apparently missed because Lucky is hiding beyond the doorway while Johnny continues to shoot. Johnny jumps over the ledge.

Claire is waiting for Jason at his pad. Sam has let her in. She snarkily compliments Jason on his coffee saying she expects nothing less from a major coffee importer and then tells him that she's glad he's there so she doesn't have to wait for a judge to issue a warrant for his arrest.

Credits; I hope this Claire chick gets a contract but it will be at least 5 years before we see her on the opening credits.

Jason has nothing to say without his attorney. Claire continues to snark about Jason's familiarity with the legal system and then tells him she's calling him to be a witness at Sonny's trial.

Carly is looking for Jax at the metro-court. She finds him and asks him how he slept the previous night thinking her sex-plan worked. It didn't. Jax plays it cool and asks Carly to remember to bring something of Josselyn's the next time she comes over.

Alexis worries more about Helena but Nikolas thinks it'll be fine. Alexis is also worried that Nikolas' motive is to endear himself to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth comes back to nurse's station. Kelly, Epiphany and Robin reassure her that she's well loved there and that her job is ready for her when she's better. Elizabeth is just worried about the results of the paternity test.

Lucky finds Dante at the PCPD when he gets back. He looks all nervous about starting his first day and asks Lucky about the the call. He tells Dante about it and says he's sure it's John Zacchara.

Jax pretends to talk about business but he's really teasing Carly with talk of satin sheets and orgasmic chocolate. She excuses herself. To change? After she's gone, he asks "Joey" at the front desk if Carly was asking about him. What happened to the Asian guy? Jax is pleased to hear that Carly asked about him the moment she walked in the door.

Nik makes it clear that Lucky and Elizabeth are finished. He loves Elizabeth but doesn't think Elizabeth knows what she wants right now. Alexis' advice: "Typically what starts out badly rarely ends well." And she should know. He says if he had to do it all over again, he'd tell Lucky the truth from the beginning and despite everything, he loves Elizabeth.

Maxie is playing hooky from work at Jake's waiting for Spinelli. She bribes Coleman not to tell Kate. She wants to put on some country music and dance with Spinelli and then have sex in her boots. Weird girl. Johnny limps in and orders a bottle of whiskey. Maxie asks him if he's hurt. He says he feels good and takes a big ol' swig.

Lucky tells Dante more about the hit he just stopped. Dante knows that Bernie's is the heart of the organization and also gives some info about Max and Milo's M.O.s involving ex-presidential masks after Lucky pulls out the Clinton mask from a paper bag. They both figure that whoever did this, knows as much as Dante knows. They think that Johnny might just level the playing field with Sonny and Lucky says that Johnny hasn't done too much harm yet. Dante reminds him that he shot at a cop. ...Like your dad? Lucky says it's ok because Johnny was aiming to miss.

Claire thinks Jason will make the perfect witness. She talks a big game about how much she's researched him and how prepared she is. Jason gets her to leave. I hope Claire's bite is worse than her bark.

Robin has brought Elizabeth back to her room at Shadybrook. She thanks Robin for all she's done and then goes on about how stressed she is and how Nikolas brought the kids to see her. She feels like a "bad mom". Robin stopped by Audrey's (when?) and has a card for Elizabeth from the boys. Elizabeth just can't wait to find out the results.

Nikolas talks about Lucky and Elizabeth's history. He admits that the baby could bring them together. He brings up Alexis and Sonny as an example. What? Alexis: "Listen, Sonny and I are not a situation to emulate on any level." Sing it, girl. Nikolas: "Your relationship has evolved to a point where you can defend him on murder charges". Touché, Nikolas. Touché.

Spinelli tells Maxie that someone tried to get into Bernie's place and eluded capture by jumping down two stories. Johnny, who overhears, thinks this is great and wants to toast! Spinelli knows it was Johnny and tells him he doesn't want to toast his path to destruction. Spinelli tells Maxie that he's worried that Johnny will destroy himself. Maxie understands that Johnny wants Sonny to pay for what he did to Johnny's sister.

Lucky says he tries to put his friendship with Sonny aside when going to work. Dante brings up the old adage, "love the sinner, hate the sin" which his mom always told him. Lucky says Dante's mom is a wise woman. Really? I think that's the worst, hypocritical, judgmental, self-important, condescending saying of all times. Lucky says he doesn't know what he'd do if he had to go after Luke the way they're going after Sonny. Dante says Sonny needs to be stopped and Lucky agrees. Ronnie (!) comes out of the interrogation room telling Dante and Lucky that the Feds have put together task-force to take down the mob in Port Charles including the three of them. Whoo hoo! It's like the A-team. Dante gets to be Face.

Carly receives the proofs from Josselyn's christening. Jax comes to look. They try to reconcile saying they want to fight for each other but Carly is still upset that Jax hasn't apologized for setting Sonny up.

Ronnie and Dante question each other's ethics or lack-of.

Maxie understands what it's like to have a sister murdered but Spinelli says revenge is not the answer. She admires Johnny for taking on his cause, having no one to back him up. At the bar, Coleman tells Johnny that his place is neutral territory. Ethan joins Johnny at the bar. Johnny tells him that Lucky showed up before he could get inside Bernie's.

Jason is getting a call from Bernie telling him about the break-in when Lucky shows up. He warns Jason not to go after Johnny because it's his job.

Nikolas arrives at the hospital asking Epiphany about Elizabeth. She tells Nik to ask Robin which he does. Robin assures Nikolas that Elizabeth is fine. Robin feels bad for not giving Nikolas better advice but he says it's OK.

Helena tells the lab technician that she wants to be the first to know the paternity of Elizabeth's baby and then she'll decide what to tell Lucky and Nikolas.

Nikolas tells Robin that she hopes things work out between him and Elizabeth and thanks Robin for her help. He walks over to the room that Helena is in.

Lucky wants Jason to understand that he'll take care of Johnny. Jason asks him if someone was trying to kill Luke, would he stand by? Lucky: "With all the people my dad has pissed off, I'd say he deserves it." Hee. Jason: "But would you stand by?" Lucky: "No." Jason: "Exactly." Well you showed him, Jason... And showed us your daddy-issues. Before he leaves, Lucky pleads one last time for Jason to stay out of it.

Johnny doesn't think the day was a full wash but I'm still unclear as to why. Ethan misses the cash but was happy to hang out with the "bombshell blonde" [sic]. He leaves to find her. Spinelli can tell that Maxie is drawn to Johnny. She says she's just worried about him as a friend, but he thinks she's attracted to the danger.

Jax and Carly argue the same old arguments. She still thinks it's all about Jax's vendetta. He can't believe she'd continue to endanger her kids after what happened with Michael. He makes it clear that he'll never allow Josselyn near Sonny. After he storms off, Carly finds something amongst the christening photos.

Lisa stops Nikolas before he goes into the conference room.

Crazy hangs up the pictures her kids drew. Alexis pays her a visit and comforts her and gives her some words of advice. Alexis brings up the trust.

I can't wait for the Oscars but when the announcer in this ad says "the hottest stars', they show four actors who will never win an Oscar. Namely, Taylor Lautner, Kirsten Stewart, Zac Efron and Miley Cirus.

Elizabeth is confused as to why Nikolas is setting up a trust. Alexis says that she just wants to make sure everyone is secure. Elizabeth tells Alexis that she's made it clear she's not going to be with Nikolas. Alexis lies that Nikolas isn't trying to change her feelings; he just wants everyone to be secure.

Nikolas opens the door but then decides to talk with Lisa outside which gives Helena and the lab tech a chance to flee unseen. Turns out Lisa helped Nikolas with something, but it seems unclear what exactly she helped with and if she knew exactly what she was doing. Before we find out, Steven interrupts and asks if Elizabeth is still at the hospital. Nikolas tells her that Robin took her back to Shadybrook. He goes and asks Epiphany how things went with Elizabeth and she assures him that everything went well. He leaves to go visit Elizabeth. What Lisa did: She sent the test results to an independent lab because Nikolas was worried about Helena.

Claire comes into the PCPD and approaches Dante. They banter and she warns him that he should probably leave.

Maxie massages Spinelli's ego and he buys it. Johnny sees someone (Lucky) in a Bill Clinton mask.

Carly comes to Jason's for help. Surprise, surprise. She tells Jax about the fight but more importantly what she found in the proofs: Franco's picture.

March 1 2010

Welcome to my first day of unemployment! YAY!

Lucky is driving (always a bad idea) and talking on his blue tooth telling whomever is on the other end that he is watching for a possible crime in progress.

Jason and Sam go over the plan. They wish each other luck and go on their separate ways.

Court: Judge Meany wants to give his verdict but he wants to make something clear first. What, judge, what?? Before he can really say anything, Carly comes in and objects. At what? She says this is all about her husband getting revenge on her ex-husband. *sigh*

Credits: Even Jason Cook doesn't know why he's there.

Shooting at the warehouse. Ethan and Johnny are in a pickle. Ethan criticizes Johnny's [lack of] plan. Johnny knows what he's doing except he doesn't.

Crazy is in her room when Nikolas enters. He brings Cam and Jake. She's happy to seem them. Cam wants to know when Mommy is coming home.

Lucky catches Jason in a car that he doesn't normally drive parked next to the court house. He asks Jason for his license and registration to which Jason complies although he doesn't think Lucky is quite serious at this point. Lucky talks about the new Judge and Claire. Lucky asks Jason to get out of the car. He knows Jason's plan but Jason denies it.

Judge wants to know how a non-lawyer can object. Welcome to Port Charles, Judge. Carly says she has information that's vital. Judge wants to hear it. Alexis objects but Judge Meany is in charge! He wants to hear it! She explains the animosity between Jax and Sonny and her involvement with the two of them. She says that people [read: Claire] are swayed by Jax's power and riches. The judge thinks she's hinting at him but she says she's not. Claire interjects but is shot down. The judge wants to hear from Sonny.

Jake's: Patrick doesn't want to complain to Lisa about his marriage except he kinda was. He talks about how the HIV and how it's brought them together but he says there's a barrier between the present Robin and the past Robin. Lisa reminisces about a time when Patrick got trapped outside their hotel room naked which is an image I don't mind conjuring up. They order more beers and ask Coleman to join them in darts.

Sonny gets a chance to to defend himself. He tells the judge that his kids mean everything to him and that's why he's not a flight risk. He mentions all of his children including "Officer Falconeri" who kinda rolls his eyes.

Lucky waits with Jason. He tells Jason that the hearing should have been over by now which doesn't bode well for Sonny. Jason tells him he can go but Lucky is glad to be there so he doesn't have to go to Shadybrook and think about Elizabeth and the baby that may or may not be his. He thinks it's ironic that he's spilling about an affair to someone who had an affair with Elizabeth. Jason wants to know if he can help. Lucky says that the only thing that's clear is that Cam and Jake are still his kids.

Elizabeth has some "happy news" for her sons. She's pregnant! Yay! Cam is excited and Jake just picks at the card they made for her. Takes after his dad, that one. Cam deduces that his mom is at Shadybrook because she's sick. With a baby. She lies and says she's not sick; just tired and that she needs to rest. Elizabeth thanks Nikolas for bringing the boys back and asks him to come back after he drops them off.

Judge Meany wants everyone to get their act together. The verdict finally arrives: Sonny will not have to go to jail for the time being. Court is set for two weeks. Claire "congratulates' the opposing council but says what she learned will help her prepare for the trial. Diane giggles as she leaves. Carly comforts Sonny while Dante and Lulu look on.

Lucky talks about being a dad to Jake. Jason is happy with how Lucky has been with Jake. Lucky thinks the boys need consistency. Lucky talks about what a great kid Jake is and tells Jason he's going to 'do the right thing'. Jason gives Lucky a piece of advice: tell the truth. About what? Who Jake's dad is? Lying is all these people do. Sam runs in and tells Jason that Sonny is still free on bail. Lucky snarks about the coincidence that Sam and Jason just happened to plan to meet there outside the court house.

Patrick, Lisa and Coleman continue to play darts and drink and reminisce. Patrick won the dart game. Lisa challenges him to a rematch. "Loser has to 'up and over'" Coleman wants to know what that is. So do I.

Alexis tells Diane that "we got lucky". Diane thinks it's not a problem but Alexis warns Diane not to play into Claire's hands. Outside the court room, Jax is pissed at Carly: "You certainly left no question to where you stand", he says. Carly defends herself by saying she wasn't going to let Jax railroad Sonny by using his influences. She's pretty much using morality to defend a mobster. Jax pretty much says the same thing and walks away. She makes no sense. Back inside, Dante thinks Sonny will be convicted so it doesn't matter about the bail. Lulu asks him how he feels about what Sonny said about his kids. Dante jokes that it doesn't really have any resonance since Sonny shot him point blank in the chest. Lulu gets interrupted by a call from Kate. She takes it outside. This gives Sonny the opportunity to talk to Dante. He thanks Dante for what he said on the stand. He wants to get to know his son but Dante says it won't matter because Sonny is going to prison. Sonny says he hopes not and walks outside to see Carly. She asks him if he's made any headway with Dante but Sonny says no and that it'll probably have to wait until after the trial. He's pretty confident, isn't he? Claire walks by and tells Sonny to "enjoy [his] freedom while it lasts".

Carly wants to know if it breaches ethics for the prosecuting attorney to threaten the man on trial. Claire thanks Carly for showing the judge her prejudice early on and she looks forward to putting her on the stand. Sonny says Carly was right about Jax. Carly says that Sonny is innocent. Claire has done her research on Sonny and says he hasn't been innocent since he went to work for Joe Scully. She looks forward to convicting him and says it'll make her career. She leaves and Diane walks by. She wants to know what Claire said and Sonny tells her. She thinks Claire may be right and they go off to strategize.

Lulu comes back to the courtroom. She wants to take Dante back to the hospital. Dante flirts that he just wants to take her home. Claire comes in and stops them.

Jason is at the warehouse figuring out what happened there. He tells Bernie on the phone that the whole shipment is there except for one thing. What, Jason, what??

Lucky drops by the Haunted Star. Don't these people ever go home, put their feet up and watch their stories while eating a pint of Ben & Jerry's? Just me then? Apparently Luke called him. There's a lot of 'summoning' in this town. Lucky thinks it's about Elizabeth but Luke is frazzled that his cigar connection, Carlos, was busted. Luke wants his 'cop son' to fix the problem. Lucky scoffs at the idea at first but then says he'll check to see if he can get Carlos off. He then says he's going to go talk to Elizabeth and be honest with her this time.

Nikolas comes back to Crazy's room. She thanks him for bringing the boys by. She feels like "the worst mother in the world." Her words. Nikolas says he's been trying to help out Audrey with the boys even inviting them over to play with Spencer. Crazy makes it clear that they're not going to be a family.

Carly has come home with Sonny and Diane yapping her mouth about how things are looking good. Diane thinks the day was a disaster. She chides Carly for ruining any credibility she'll have in the trial. Carly argues that she told the truth! That's quite an achievement for her. Sonny thinks it's all good but Diane thinks that Claire Walsh is someone to look out for. Diane: "You're freedom can rely on one crucial element." What, Diane, what??

Claire wants a word with Dante. Lulu argues that Dante just got out of the hospital and that he's had enough. Dante says it's ok so Lulu leaves them alone. Outside she tells Jax that Claire is inside questioning Dante. Jax says it's probably to ask him why he perjured himself and if he plans on doing the same thing during the trial. Lulu is torn. So is Jax. Lulu thinks maybe Jax should remain neutral given his love of Carly but he can't do that because Sonny is a threat to his family. Back inside, Claire wants to know if she can trust Dante.

Johnny and Ethan arrive at the Haunted Star chatting about what happened. Luke: "Good evening, gentleman. I trust that you're up to no good." Ethan hands Luke a box of cigars. Luke is happy. Johnny says he'll let Ethan know about the next job but Ethan plays all coy. He coyly asks what Johnny is up to next. Johnny not so coyly tells him that the next job is "the total destruction of Sonny Corinthos". DUN!

Lisa and Patrick play darts and flirt. He tries to distract her from her game. He accidently insults her by saying she's the perfect woman for a guy who never wanted to fall in love.

Nikolas says he knows Elizabeth has made it clear that she doesn't want a relationship with him but he still wants to change her mind. He doesn't want her to keep his child out of his life and she says she wouldn't do that. Lucky comes by and Crazy is happy to see him. He asks Nikolas for a moment alone with Elizabeth. After Nik leaves, she immediately gets up to hug Lucky. Lucky is finally being honest. He tells her that he wants to help and will always be there for the kids but they don't have a future together.

In the courtroom, Claire seems to be training Dante on his testimony. She tries to get him to confess that Sonny shot him but Dante sticks to his story that he shot himself. In the chest. She asks him how he keeps the lies straight. She hints that the lines got blurred and he got attached to Sonny as a father figure even though he didn't know that Sonny was his actual father. He doesn't know what this all has to do with the case. She just wants to know how far he'll go to "save daddy".

Sonny and Carly are alone. They talk about the bail hearing and the trial. She says she'll lie if she has to. It's funny that ethics has a very narrow meaning for her. Jax comes in. He tells Sonny that if he cared about his kids, he wouldn't be asking their mother to commit perjury.

Johnny and Ethan plan another scheme to take a Corinthos shipment. They play all hard to get with each other again. Jason crashes the party. He asks them about the warehouse raid.

At Jakes, Robin stops by to see Patrick feeding Lisa a shot while she's in a weird position. The crowd is chanting "Up and Over". So I guess that's what that is...

Lucky explains why he lied to Elizabeth and that he told her he forgave her because he was scared for her. She realizes that he can't forgive her. He says the damage is too much. He says it's time they let go. She thanks him for his honesty and says she's decided to take the early paternity test. What about May sweeps?
