    A Hard Day’s Night.

    Thursday, July 19 2012
    Dante and Anna question Archibald, Steve wants a break from Olivia, and The Haunted Star opens.


    In his hotel room, Todd gets a call from Steve making sure Heather is working tonight. Todd assures him Heather is on assignment. Todd runs into Blair in the hallway and offers to take her in his car. She does not want to risk an argument but he thinks they owe it to Starr to make an effort. He is looking forward to talking and she agrees - after the show.



    Outside the club Johnny and Lulu greet guests. Kristina and Trey inform Lulu about the reality show and she thinks it might be good publicity. Carly arrives and Johnny gives her a kiss before they go in. Maxie and Patrick show up and assure Lulu they are going to have fun. She wants to wait for Dante.



    Dante goes to the station to talk with Anna about the forger Olivia saw leaving Heather’s. Anna remembers the letters from Luke. Dante wants to find Archibald and question him. Anna agrees, considering Lulu got a letter too. Dante does not know about Lulu’s letter. They bring in Archibald and show him a picture of Heather. He says he has never seen her in his life. If he cooperates they won’t press charges. He agrees. Heather had hired him before to forge a letter from a lady doctor to a guy named Steve about a case in Memphis. Dante pulls Anna outside and grabs the file on Maggie. He explains how Steve was cleared after the note was written. They realize Heather killed Maggie. Anna is worried about Luke.



    Inside the club Johnny hands Carly her martini, then leaves to do sound check. Carly tells Lulu that Luke would be so happy for her. Patrick walks by and Lulu asks Maxie how things are. Maxie is glad he is here – usually he just sits on the couch after Emma is asleep. But no sign of the pills. Patrick looks over at them and walks off. He takes a pill with his drink, then the cameraman is in his face. He gets upset and demands to see the tape, then stomps off. Maxie and Lulu are concerned. Starr preps for her performance backstage. Michael gives her a flower and assures her she will be great. Blair and Todd give her a hug before Johnny pulls her away – she is on in 10 minutes. Todd talks to Carly and wants to make sure nothing botches up their plans. Carly assures him he is having a dinner for two delivered to his suite and Blair is going to be thrilled. He wants her socks knocked off. Johnny buys Blair another dink at the bar. She is glad he got her out of her contract but thinks it was more than just business – she thinks Starr is healing in large part because of him. He will always have friend in her. Todd agrees and shakes Johnny’s hand. Lulu takes the stage and raises a toast to starting over. Johnny takes the stage and says it is all about new beginnings. He thanks Carly for believing in him - she was right. Todd rolls his eyes. Michael sits in the front row as Starr sings. Todd and Blair hold each other, Lulu keeps looking for Dante and Patrick looks nervous and sweaty. Afterwards, Starr and Michael kiss. Todd is upset but Blair can see they are happy and Carly thinks is it great. Todd agrees if Starr is happy he is happy. Starr and Michael leave to get food. Lulu checks her phone and has no messages from Dante. Todd and Blair leave to go have their talk. Patrick tells Maxie he is leaving and takes another pill outside the club. Later, Patrick sees Robin.



    Olivia visits Steve at the hospital and tells him she spoke with Spinelli again. He is mad, but Olivia wants him to wrap his mind around other possibilities and maybe Dante can help. Now he is really mad and tells Olivia they need a break. She can’t believe it – she is trying to protect him. He tells her it is not working and has nothing else to say. Later, Olivia walks in on Heather dressed as a maid in Anna’s hotel room.



    Heather goes to the shack and ungags Luke. He is a little crabby from being tied up. She knows he does not love her now, but assures him he will. She pulls out a vial of acid - you can get anything down at the docks. There is no drug on the planet that will make him love her. She explains the LSD is for Anna, not him. Luke wants take the acid right now so he can make love to her all night long. They can have their own magical mystery tour, a hard day’s night. She is tempted but captivity has not been kind to him. He is a little ripe. He really wants her to give it to him – he is all hers. She can’t do that to him. She gags him and will make sure Anna gets it.

    Olivia becomes the target of a dangerous plan.

    Patrick can’t believe what he sees.

    Hi everyone,

    Okay, I'm not biting again. Patrick took 3 ADD pills in the short amount of time he was at the HS and then he saw Robin standing big as life on the deck. Of course he's seeing things, his brain is on overload. Yes, I could be wrong this time, but I think the little boy is calling wolf again and I don't mean Garin.

    Holy crap commissioner! (Yes I could see Dante playing Robin to Anna's Catwoman.) Here's hoping that the forger's information about the first letter/false confession he wrote for Heather will be the happy two-for that gets StevenLars off screen. What was with the turn-around on Olivia today, especially the outrage about her telling Dante (what, you thought you had to tell Olivia that her son is a cop?) Would he rather that she'd called Jason for help? Yes, I know I would. I'm just hoping that Olivia still has enough Bensonhurst left in her, to defend herself from Heather. After all, I'm still pulling for a Sonny/Olivia pairing.

    Well, so far no one has punched anyone and everything seems to be all about second chances at the opening - really dull for a PC party.

    Meanwhile Luke is stewing in his juices all because he used one too many Beatles song titles trying to distract Heather. Thankfully Heather stayed on task - no one wants to see Luke and Heather on acid, or doing the other stuff he suggested. By the way, just how is Heather able to pick up acid on the docks? I thought there was surveillance down there.

    Scrimmage - I think you may be right about Blair and Todd. Maybe he'll go off on a rampage just long enough to get rid of Heather.

    Sounds like a very good show today. Looking forward to watching it when I get home from work!

    How old is Kristina? Is she at least 21? Old enough to enter a club?

    Lulu's dress was worth every penny.
    She looked great!
    Also thought Carly looked great.

    Maxie and Krissy's dresses didn't do it for me.

    Liked the opening of the Star even though Lulu and John's speeches were a bit stiff.

    In the half hour we saw Patrick, he took 3 pills. Talk about overkill. We get it, the guy has a problem.

    Though Star did fine with her song, but wasn't crazy about her dress either. Like her and Michael.

    That forger sang like a canary, He didn't take any probing either. Can't thrust a forger I guess/

    Enough of Luke and that chair!

    what's the big deal about Lulu's dress; didn't Johnnie give her a big check for his half of the haunted star.
    And for that price, she only got half a dress!

    Posted by leo123 at Thursday, July 19 2012 02:03 PM

    I thought Starr looked great; nice dress and accessories, and hair looked perfect.

    Posted by lily hunter at Thursday, July 19 2012 02:03 PM

    Here's my question about Lulu's dress - how is Maxi still able to "hook her up" with designer wear even at discount price when she hasn't worked at Crimson for months?

    Posted by jumps at Thursday, July 19 2012 02:04 PM

    And isn't LSD a little too retro these days? I mean what drug dealer carries LSD in today's market?

    cant wait to see this episode.

    hope to later, it sounds like the bomb.

    my robin is sighted. even if in his imagination, i will take it. or maybe she has been let out by dr. david. or dr. ewan. or alice. or wilson.

    wow am so glad I was able to watch this one before reading recaps! go Dante and Anna finally something moving in on Heather. She must have used the GH transporter again to make it from the shack to a maids uniform at the hotel. Hope Oliva knocks her on her keester. Maybe there will be some justice for Maggie yet. Steven Lars you do not deserve Oliva.
