    Monday, August 20 2012
    Spin starts looking into Ewen, Sonny and Kate learn about Joe Jr.’s release, and Shawn asks Alexis out.


    Jason pulls Spinelli into the hospital chapel and tells him Joss and Alexis were injected with a chemical. He needs Spin to look into Keenan’s possible involvement. Spin is shocked but remembers that he once suspected Keenan of Lisa’s murder. Jason wants Spin to do anything he can to dig dirt on Ewen. Spin agrees as long as Jason delivers his oversize gifts to Joss and Alexis.



    In Keenan’s office, Kate thanks him. Next to Sonny he is the best thing to ever happen to her. He explodes – he does not deserve her gratitude! He has done far worse things than Connie ever did. He wants Kate to leave - he can’t treat her anymore. She asks if he trusts her like she trusts him? Whatever he tells her will stay in this room. He apologizes and assures her his past won’t interfere again and asks her to keep this between them. She tells him blaming himself only makes it worse. He can find the courage to move on. He is afraid that doesn’t apply in his case – it is too late for him. She tells him it is never too late. Later, Keenan leaves and Spin breaks in and opens Ewen’s computer.



    At Pazollo’s, John assures Sam on the phone he will find out who hurt her mom. Sonny arrives and John tells him Joe Jr. is out of jail, case dismissed. Plus the record of Joe’s visitors is erased. Whoever his associate is does not want his name getting out. Sonny remembers John saying that if Joe Jr. got off, he was his. John remembers that, but whatever happens to Joe, they have to find him first. Later, Kate meets Sonny there and he tells her Joe is out of jail.



    Shawn arrives at the hospital with flowers for Alexis. He tells her about his conversation with Mac about the strip pool game and she gets incredibly nervous. He and Rosie broke up - it wasn’t fair to string her along when he was having feelings for someone else. Now she is really embarrassed and wants to stop talking about it. Undaunted, Shawn asks her out. She tells him he is nice guy and it won’t work out - he is too good for her. She is a magnet for psychopaths. He is wonderful and charming and kind – a healthy choice. She does not make healthy choices ever. He thinks maybe she should be open to change and she agrees.



    At the hospital, Dante orders someone to search Calry’s house for tire tracks, anything to find out who took Joss. Lulu is just glad she is too young to really remember – what if something like that could happen to their kid? Speaking of, he is there to go to see her doctor with her. Dante is nervous – he didn’t really have a father growing up. She tells him they have each other and will figure it out together. Dr. V calls them back and after the test informs them Lulu is not pregnant.



    At Wyndemere, Joe asks Jerry what he is planning on doing. Jerry opens the briefcase and shows him the metal vials. Inside there is a very potent chemical that the whole population will be exposed to – no survivors. Everyone is expendable but Joe disagrees – he wants Trey immunized . Jerry tells him that is not possible. There was only enough for Alexis, Joss and himself. Joe won’t let his son be exposed to anything lethal – he is all he has in this world. Jerry tells him to get his son as far away as possible from Port Charles then. Later, Jerry looks over his medical records before having a coughing fit and taking a pill.



    At home, Starr is ready to finish her conversation with Trey about his dad. He tells her that he told Kristina his dad was in jail, but not that he is not who he said he is. He tells Starr his dad has a bad history with Sonny. She asks if that is why he got involved with Kristina and he assures her it was a coincidence. She thinks Joe is encouraging them to get married to hurt Sonny on the inside. Johnny texts her to come sign some paperwork. Trey asks her not to tell anyone. She just does not want his dad’s past with Sonny mess up his future with Kristina. Later, Joe arrives at his door.


    John and Jason run into each other at the hospital and John tells Jason about Joe’s release. John asks if he found anything that ties Joss to Wyndemere yet?

    Tomorrow’s Port Charles spoilers for General Hospital:

    Carly says to Todd, “You just said another little girl could have died because of Johnny. What did you mean?”

    Starr asks Johnny, “You would never keep a secret from Carly, would you?”

    Dante asks Dr. V., “What about Lulu? She’s okay, right?”

    Kate says to Sonny, “Maybe we should stop getting back together. Maybe we shouldn’t be getting married.”

    I can just kill that Jerry. I wonder if someone will die because of this evil man. Jax, come back and deal with your lunatic brother. You were always harping about Sonny and your brother is the worst of the bunch.

    Old dumb Steve will have to find the ingredients for the antidote.

    I'm glad Alexis decided to go out with Shawn. It's a wonder this lady has any kids. She is wound so tight.

    Well, Lulu is not pregnant. I know deep down inside she is secretly happy, but can't let on to Dante.

    Happy hello to all:

    I caught today’s epi. Dante’s joy at being a dad was contagious and for a minute I wished he could have gotten the chance to live that dream. However, when he asked Dr. V if something was wrong, I couldn’t help but think, you bet there is. My thought was, Lulu’s egg, upon realizing whose ovary it was in, spontaneously decided to desperminize or defertilize. And lo and behold, Dr. V announced that she wasn’t in the family way after all. Snap, I feel a little sorry for the two of them since they were so joyous about becoming a parent. So either Lulu’s non-situation can be chalked up to a statistical error of a false positive home pregnancy test, or, this is just a tip of a larger iceberg with Jerry written all over it and we will find out that something is wrong with Lulu. Something aside from the typical stuff that is.

    I liked the Sonny and John interaction and method of conducting what can be loosely term business. It was reminiscent of the dinner that Sonny and Todd had a while back. Just because they can’t stand each other, it doesn’t mean that their mutual dislike has to interfere with a good bottle of whatever they were having. Such a civilize way of doing biz.

    I have a funny feeling that with Jerry planning to unleash his own brand of fun on PC, it is going to take the cooperation of the mob and the PCPD working hand in hand to stop or catch him. That should be quite interesting if it turns out to be the case.

    Hmm, this probably may not sit well with some, but I found myself feeling quite sorry for Dr. Big Foot for some reason. It may be that although he is doing whatever Jerry tells him to do, it is evident that he is doing so unwillingly. Nope, I am not discounting him taking Joss from her bed and delivering her to Jerry and allowing him to inject her with what could have been poison for all he knew. It looks like he is a good guy who unwittingly got caught up in Jerry’s evil plan. Having said that, I am curious to learn what or who Jerry is holding over his head. From what I have seen since his arrival of GH, an arrival that was admittedly shrouded in mystery and falsehood, I would be very surprise if it turns out that he is going along purely out of self-interest.

    I am glad to see that Star is encouraging Trey to come clean with Chrissy, although we know that he won’t. I disagree with the sentiment that it is none of Star’s business and that she should basically butt out. It would be one thing if the selective crp that Trey was telling her was innocuous and did not involve the sister of her boyfriend, but that is not the case. The more stuff Trey tells her, the more nefarious it sounds to Star and the higher the likelihood that the secret poses a danger to Chrissy. From what I have seen, Star is encouraging Trey to be straight with Chrissy not because of her inability to keep a secret or because she is bursting at the seams to tell the secret herself. I think that it has to do more with the fact that Star knows what damage holding the truth can have on a relationship and she is truly trying to look out for Chrissy. Don’t know why anyone would choose to look out for that child but that is just how Star rolls.

    Totally off topic but Kate looked so pretty today. I was really hoping that Ewen would open up to her. Otherwise not a bad show. Alexis what is wrong with you!! That man is fine!

    Watch out Sonny. McBat gets loose when he drinks. Ask Sam.

    ApPARENTly (is that a pun?), Dante and Lulu's baby DID get a hold of his or her agent.

    Baby Burrito (to agent): “THESE morons are going to be responsible for raising me? Are you kidding? You've gotta get me outta this! No! No way! There's not enough money in the WORLD!”

    Obviously, Defective Falconeri has completely forgotten about Anthony's murder, Heather, StevenLars, and everything else that hasn't happened in the past 24 hours. Talk about a short attention span! No wonder Johnny is usually so confident, unless he's talking to Starr.

    Speaking of Starr, I didn't think it was possible, but she actually made me feel sorry for Trey LeDouche with her relentless and inappropriate interrogation. I'll be surprised if she doesn't text Nuke saying “Trey has something to tell you,” and when Trey objects, she'll say she kept her promise not to tell anyone his secret.

    Dr. Bigfoot is cracking like an egg. At last some of the threads are starting to come together in the investigation, and now that Spinelli and his Magic Computer are on the case, it won't be long before they tie Ewen to Joss' kidnapping, and maybe even Jerry, but I don't see why Sonny can't just bribe the AC jail guard to describe Scummy's benefactor. They can destroy official records, but they can't erase memories.

    Grow up Alexis, you're embarrassing yourself. Molly acts more maturely in dealing with relationships.

    Hello everyone,
    I'm really getting interested in this story with Jerry. I love stories where there's some sort of virus that nearly destroys all of PC, but of course, it really doesn't end up doing that, and plus, those stories are more refreshing than the mob. So glad to see Spinelli hacking into computers again! Welcome back! I wonder then if Lulu's not pregnant, what's wrong with her? Spoilers suggest that she was pregnant, and I guess I got all excited for nothing? I hope if she's not pregnant, she's pregnant soon,. Other than that, the episode seemed pretty borring. A-oh, Ewan did a very bad thing in Kate's therapy session. He should have never let his feelings come out during her session. Shouldn't you already know that though? I mean, after all, you are a therapist. Oh wel, they have to make it interesting though on soaps, so because it's a soap, I'll let that one slide.

    Happy Monday Everyone,

    What, no Spencer - Falconeri baby (who could be related to almost everyone in PC)? I have to say I'm a little disappointed by the news, but had a giggle at the new OBGYN's name (Dr. V.). Okay, sorry, sometimes I let myself appreciate the 16-year-old boy humor.

    Jason, McBat and a bear - oh my. I think it will be interesting just how far McBat will stray across the thin blue line to find Scummy Jr. It seems as if he's forged some tenuous alliances in PC. Just how far will he go to exact vengeance for his sister...

    Interesting dilemma for Scummy Jr. as well. In order to save his son's life, he will have to abandon his plan (if one can call it that) to take back what he believes Sonny owes him. I guess he could tell Tres Scummy to take Christina out of town to elope, but he'll still be separated from Sonny's money by a generation.

    On the sweeter side of the day, I just wanted to tell Alexis to stop talking and take a good look at Shawn, the man standing right in front of her who brought flowers and a dinner invitation.
