    Be Careful What You Wish For.

    Friday, August 26 2011
    As Jason undergoes surgery, Elizabeth, Monica, Carly and Sam envision alternate realities with Jason.


    In Jason's hospital room, he debates the pros and cons of having surgery with Sam. She says it's his decision, but he wants them to decide together.



    At the hub, Robin tells Patrick, should Jason agree to surgery, she wants Matt to assist. Patrick says, "No way." Across the way, Matt and Liz muse on her culpability in Siobhan's death. She doesn't think Lucky will forgive her. Matt suggests she forgive herself first. Matt joins Robin and Patrick's argument, which turns into a fight between the brothers. Robin reminds them Jason's life is on the line. She wants real arguments regarding Matt assisting. Patrick says Matt's focus will be on him, not Jason, so he shouldn't be in the O.R. Elizabeth agrees. As the debate rages on, Carly and Michael approach. Sam walks up and tells the group Jason's decided to have the surgery. Patrick says they will do it tonight. Edward and Monica walk up, as Matt disagrees with Patrick in front of Sam. Sam lashes out at him and he backs off. Matt will take himself out of the equation. He gets on the elevator, as Liz tries to explain why she sided with Patrick. Monica tells Sam she made the right choice. Later, Monica talks with Edward about how Jason changed so completely after his first accident. She wonders if it would be awful to want him to change back again. Edward smiles and says, "Be careful what you wish for."



    Carly visits Jason in his room. He tells her he and Sam decided together to have the surgery. Carly is clearly upset by that, but says she just wants him to be okay. She's got a lot of stuff going on and can't handle it alone. She tells him Michael wants to take his place with Sonny while he's incapacitated. Jason orders her to get Michael right now. Sam walks in and yells at Carly for dumping her crap on him. Sam wants Jason to put himself first just once. Jason and Carly express in their own ways how much they mean to each other and she leaves. As Sam lies with Jason on his bed a nurse stops by to tell them it's time.



    After Jason is wheeled into surgery, Sam heads to Jason's room and lies in his bed. She fantasizes about them being on their tropical honeymoon, which they've been on for six months. Sam has gone back to salvage diving and has found an item that could lead them to a bigger treasure. She enlists Jason's help and as they look at a map, a man approaches with a gun.



    Liz goes to her art studio. She imagines walking in and finding Jason, who is an architect, sleeping on his table. She wakes him up and they kiss. He tells her he got a job in Tokyo for six months. She's not happy he'll be gone for that long, but Jason thinks she should understand since she's an artist too. They start making out and then Jason finds her birth control pills, which have not been opened. He asks if she's trying to get pregnant.



    Carly walks into Jake's and imagines them meeting up there to play pool as a couple. In her fantasy, Sonny had a complete breakdown, burned many bridges and left town. Jason is in charge and Carly has left the hotel indefinitely to help him. She marvels that they are partners in the truest sense of the word. Michael enters and angrily demands to know what his mother is doing with that "gangster garbage."



    Monica returns home and envisions Alan entering the room to tell them Jason, who never got in the car with A.J., has been named chief of staff. Tracy and Edward join the celebration, with Tracy being her usual disdainful self. Alone, in the Q living room, Jason does a line of coke, as fantasy Monica walks in on him.



    Robin watches from the observation area as Patrick begins surgery. She hopes she made the right call letting Patrick operate alone. Patrick hits a few snags during the operation.

    Continuation from yesterday's posts:

    FUBU and ENAD, count me in as one that relied on YT to get the full JaSam story before the SOS and let me tell you guys that how I feel in love with this couple. Their story has so much depth to it. Theirs is not a throw together kind of love that Dante and Lulu have going on, they have really overcome a lot of obstacles to get to where they are currently. To this day I still go to YT for a refresher course of their love story.

    If I had to pick one character above all other characters on GH as my favorite, it would most definitely be Carly, especially LW's Carly.

    I really enjoyed today's eppy, especially the dream sequences. I actually enjoyed Jason in all of the ladies, but of course my favorite was with Sam. Loved the one as Jason Q and COS. I did find it interesting that Monica's dream would be that Jason lived and AJ died.

    The Carly/Jason scene before he went into surgery had me in tears. I hope when it's all said and done with JaSam married they can all find a way to co-exist while respecting each others boundaries. I think the three of them as friends would be awesome together.

    Sam curling up on Jason's bed was the kicker for me and had me crying like I've never cried while watching GH in a very long time. Must be the changing of the guard.

    Patrick and Matt needed to take the crap back to Kindergarden. Glad Sam but her foot in Matt's pissy-behind.

    Today's recap topic is aptly named "Be Careful What You Wish For" because apparently, this is the moral of the story in regards to the ladies in Jason's life who are fantasizing about what they want him to be, what could have been and what will never be (tehe). So this is not a spoiler, more like what I think will happen on Monday, that everyone's fantasy is turning into a nightmare and that the point is that Jason should be loved, respected and appreciated for who he is, no matter how he comes out of this surgery. I could be wrong, but this is my insight.

    I'm still at work, but can't wait to get home. I've seen teh previews and they look great!

    Again I must ask.....Doesn't Jason look AMAZING!!!!!

    enad19 - I agree. It's also interesting to me that although Jason had this accident years ago and totaly forgot who he was, etc...he is still; although a hit man, a really nice guy. That is soemthing the accident couldn't take away from him. If I remember correctly, he was never an A-whole

    Jason looking all super muscular, and wearing his stethoscope home? WTF? Am I correct? I'm not watching live, but looking at the pictures it seems as if he is at the Quartermaine mansion.
    Matt and Patrick arguing again? I know that I was complaining that Matt wasn't getting enough action on the show and I had dreams about storylines that he could undertake, but in the words of Maximus Decimus from the movie Gladiator, “This was not IT!!!!”

    My2Cents2: answering your question, Liz is everywhere because she's 'Bizzy Lizzy.

    Posted by 4myJylli at Friday, August 26 2011 01:43 PM

    Yes, ENAD, that was Jason looking all muscular and fineeee-fabulous with his stethoscope and he was at the Q's since he's now Jason Q.

    @unicorngirl:
    where are you? Are you off licking a TV? LOL.

    Jason was such a goodie goodie back then. didn't he date Brenda briefly, then Karen, then Keisha? A line of coke would be more AJ-ish.

    I think I need to put you in a corner 4myjilli and akitas, Jason's my preciousssssssss!
    4myjylli: Also sounds like besides swooning over my man, you were crying buckets, do you need me to drop off a couple boxes of Kleenex?

    Looks like its going to be a really good episode can;t wait to watch. Also, loved seeing Jasam in white. Maybe I'm wrong and this episode should be titled "All About Jason" instead.
