    Honey Badger Ferocity.

    Wednesday, August 08 2012
    Joe sends for Johnny, Sonny gets to know Trey and Olivia continues to see things.


    Johnny visits Joe Jr. in jail and they shake hands. Joe was not sure Johnny would respond to his request to meet. He offers Johnny condolences on Anthony. He would hate to see Johnny convicted for something Sonny did considering he is the most likely suspect after all of Anthony’s lies about Claudia. Johnny is half Zacchara and should claim his birthright. Johnny tells Joe he walked away from the business, so Joe wants him to sign it over to him. If no one steps up Sonny will consolidate power and control the entire Eastern seaboard. Joe demands Johnny give it to him – he won’t be in jail much longer. Together, they can team up and take down Sonny. Johnny refuses and Joe tells him he can put Sonny down on his own. And he better not stand in his way.



    From home, Sam calls Alexis to check on John. Kristina asks her what Jason has done this time Sam tells her it is not Jason she is worried about. Kristina accuses Sam of being afraid to be around John because she cares about him, more each time she sees him. A committed man would not kiss another woman unless he felt something and Sam would not help him McBain unless she felt something too. Sam admits she cares but it doesn’t change the fact he has a family and she is married. She is in pain and if she divorces Jason there is no guarantee that pain will end. Kristina tells her something has to change. Sam agrees, but she is not sure what that is. She asks about Trey and Kristina tells her they are dating. Sam thinks she should tell Sonny before someone else does.



    Trey is led into a boxing gym with a bag over his head by Milo. Sonny is waiting for him – he wants to get to know him better. Trey wonders why they couldn’t just do brunch. Sonny doesn’t do brunch. Sonny thinks Trey wants something else from Kristina and he tells Sonny they are dating. Sonny wants to do a background check and that gives Trey pause enough to get knocked out. Trey gets up and wants to keep fighting. He is done playing the field and wants to make things official with Kristina. Sonny asks if he is talking marriage and Trey tells him soon. Sonny knocks him out. Later, Kristina shows up and Sonny tells her they are all going out to brunch. Trey should invite his folks.



    Starr visits Todd in his office, upset about John’s arrest. He must have done something to provoke John into hitting him. He was trying to protect Sam when John cheated on Natalie. He shows Starr the picture and she gets angry when she realizes he sent it to Natalie. Did he think about what it would do to Liam? John was there for her when he was on trial and Blair will not take him back whether John is in jail or not. Anyone who has not written him off will now.



    At PCPD, Alexis tells John their best shot of getting him off is by going after Todd. He wants to be released as soon as possible so he can get to London and explain to Natalie what happened with Sam. Alexis suggests he practice his explanation on her. She needs him to be honest with her about where he stands with Sam. Sam told her she and John and a connection neither one of them can ignore. John feels the same way. Alexis does not think anything would have happened had Sam not been so vulnerable. John wonders if Sam and Jason will divorce, but Alexis is not sure. John tells her he cares about Sam. Todd busts in and tells them the charges are dropped. John can thank Starr. He may not rot in jail but he will go through his life like Todd – without the woman he loves. Later, Alexis brings John back home with her.



    Starr meets Todd back at the office and he tells her John is free. She hugs him and tells him what a good dad he is. He is her hero, and he is Tea’s hero too. If he keeps this up he will be everyone’s hero.



    At the hospital, Dante brings Olivia flowers and she seems much better. Lulu walks in and Olivia thinks she is very pregnant and freaks out. Suddenly, the hallucination is gone. Dante tells her that her eyes are playing tricks on her, but she knows she is seeing things. Last night she saw Heather in the mirror. What if she keeps seeing things for the rest of her life? Outside the room, Lulu and Dante agree to meet back later. Lulu gets sick and throws up. Inside the room, Olivia looks at the cover of The Sun and instead of McBain sees herself.


    Tomorrow’s Port Charles spoilers for General Hospital:

    Carly discovers that Todd dropped the charges against McBain and tells him he needs to find a woman.

    Spinelli wants Jason to teach him to box.

    FOOT - People on the west coast - sounds like you are all okay! I'm very glad to hear that. If anything needs to fall into the earth - make it the SEC.

    On Topic -

    What is up with all the punching? John yesterday, Sonny today, who's tomorrow? I really am not a fan of it.

    I don't know who I feel more sorry for, Olivia for seeing thing, or Dante having to deal with what looks like its going to be a pregnant Lulu (love the couple though)

    More later tonight after I watch.

    Maybe Olivia has ESP, since she saw a pregnant Lulu, and now Lulu is throwing her guts up. I wonder if she'll abort this baby like she did before; but Daddy Luke would have to take her.
    Loved seeing Sonny in his boxing mode. Love seeing Sonny in any mode.
    Otherwise the episode was boring.

    Hi all

    Well,well, well it seems that little Starr knows which buttons to push with her daddy to get what she wants. Todd drops the charges against McBain.
    I can also see why Joe jr. went into the antique business, he has all the qualities of a shady salesman. He knows how to sell what he's offering.
    If Johnny falls for his crap, he'll really be going down a deep hole he won't be able to get out of, especially if Sonny gets to him first. 
    Loved seeing Sonny in his muscle shirt and that devilish smile. I think he managed to scare Trey a little bit, hope he does look into Trey's background.
    I wish Sam decides who and what she wants soon. This back and forth about her feelings for Jason and McBain is getting tiresome. It is obvious she has feelings for McBain and the being drunk excuse for the kiss is just her way of denying what she feels.
    The one thing I've noticed lately with all the characters is that they are all bringing their A game to their scenes and Olivia's performance today was no exception. Don't know what's happening to her, if she's hallucinating or maybe having psychic abilities, especially when Lulu felt nauseous and threw up in the garbage. Are these side effects of LSD?

    I haven't seen the show yet, but just had to say that I knew starr would guilt Todd into dropping the charges against McBain. Without skipping a beat, Starr knew that Todd had provoked John! She knows her father very well and she knows how to get to him!!

    Wait until she finds out about baby Cheeto and Todd's involvement in the baby switch!

    Todd's "bad boy" is coming out, but I do have to say that he is like Sonny; Todd loves his kids like Sonny does and he would do anything in his power for them.

    Best. Sonny. EVER!

    So naturally, Sonny gets the LINE OF THE DAY when he said:

    “I don't DO brunch.”

    He said it the same way Dirty Harry said “Go ahead! Make my day.” Sonny dropped that smart ass punk like a bad habit! Of course, it comes as no surprise that Trey Scummy LeDouche fights like a girl. You get the impression that it's not for Joe Jr.'s lack of trying. He must be so disappointed in his less than manly son.


    So Oblivia ISN'T hallucinating! The “concentrated dose” of LSD must've kicked her natural Italian Mother (Grandmother?) psychic abilities into overdrive. She's having the same kind of “visions” that she said one of her Aunts claimed to have. Seeing Heather in the mirror was a warning that she still poses a danger, and the headline seeing herself being called a “Drain On Society” will be what happens if she continues to admit she's having these visions until she learns to control them. Until then, everyone will look at her like Lulu was. Of course, Lulu had a look of utter revulsion, not only because she was thinking “My M.I.L. is a basket case,” but also at the thought of becoming a mother.


    I don't think John ever answered Alexis' question, but I can fix that.

    Alexis (to McBat): “Why did you kiss my daughter?”

    McBat: “Have you SEEN your daughter?”

    Line of the day for me: Todd- "he plowed in here with honey-badger ferocity". Todd must be an SEC fan. And the only place the SEC will fall is on the heads of all the other conferences.

    Sonny was the best part of the show today. I was LOL at the way Trey was prancing around the ring. I don't think Scummy Jr. would have been too impressed with his "girly" son. His hot romance scenes with Hissy seem forced.
    I really hope Sonny does a background check. Le Douche seemed rattled so don't stop now, Sonny.

    Epiphany needs to make Lulu clean up her mess. I agree with scrimmage. When Olivia was telling Dante about her hallucination, Lulu did look repulsed and she does that sooo well.

    Good for Johnny not joining up with Scummy, Jr.

    Don't worry, Starr. Hero dad will not last long. Unless, of course, he can lay all the baby blame on the nutjob and claim he knew nothing. He can lie and manipulate with the best of them.

    Sam seems to be wanting it both ways. She wants what she has with McBain yet she won't divorce Jason. Is she waiting for Jason to do it??? That wouldn't surprise me either. The both of them are lamenting to anyone who will listen but not to each other.

    SPOILER TALK-previews


    Yay-Spin is back tomorrow. Let's hope Maxie doesn't get her claws back into him.

    Lizzzzzzzzzz had the most disgusted look on her face when Patrick was talking to her. Can't wait to see what that is about.
