    My Best Paranoid Schizophrenic.

    Friday, August 24 2012
    Jax learns Carly is with Johnny, Todd sells his cable company to Jerry, and Jerry takes to the airwaves to make an announcement.


    In his hotel room, Jerry tells Joe that dirty water kills more children than many other diseases combined. People here take water for granted – they drink it, bathe in it and play in it without a second thought. Today is a good day to be away from PC. Jerry leaves to tie up loose ends. Joe leaves a message for Trey to stay in Vegas. Then, Tracy arrives with a new white shirt. He invites her in and tells her he is an antiques dealer. There is a lot of tasteless crap out there – he values exquisite detail of a genuine classic. The sexual tension is thick and they have sex. Afterward, he tells her he wants to get to know her better unless there is another man in her life. She is glad he brought that up – there isn’t. They order room service and turn on the television.



    Carly visits a shirtless Todd’s hotel room and tells him her husband is there with her and Joss. He thinks she is talking about Johnny, but she reminds him about Jax. He remembers – the greatest guy who ever lived. She tells him he slept on the couch and when pressed, she has no idea why she told him that. He tells her to dump Johnny. She informs him that Johnny doesn’t know and he wants to be there when Johnny finds out so he can see his face. He doesn’t think either one is right for her but he can be a good listener. She leaves and Jerry soon arrives. He introduces himself as James Craig and wants to buy his cable company. Todd asks him to leave, but Jerry pulls out a briefcase of cash and tells him it is paid for up front, in full and assumes they have a deal. Later, Todd counts the money and turns on the television to see what he just sold.



    Johnny knocks on Carly’s door, but a shirtless Jax answers. Jax wonders what possible business Johnny could have with Carly. "Plenty," he says. "I’m her boyfriend." He tells Jax he has changed and assures him he will protect Carly and Joss with everything he has. Carly walks in and Jax doesn’t think Johnny can be that important since he is still her husband. Johnny leaves them to it and Jax asks her why she has not signed the divorce papers yet. Is it because she does not want to let him go? Joss comes in and asks if they can put on the TV.



    Jason shows up a Liz’s to talk about Ewen as Ewen runs down the stairs, shirtless. Jason apologizes for jumping to conclusions and Ewen accepts. He is paged to the hospital, kisses Liz and leaves. Liz tells Jason he slept on the couch and asks why he is really there. He tells her Ewen moved to Alaska like Jax. She thinks it is a coincidence even though Ewen knew all the Jacks men and rattles off their names. Jason makes a connection – It is Jerry! He injected Nicholas to make him sick too. Liz tells him that can’t be – Jerry is dead. Jason leaves and tells her to be careful – he couldn’t take it if something happens to her. Later, Ewen comes back and wants to spend the rest of the day with her.



    In Switzerland, Luke, in disguise, searches the hospital for Anna. A doctor tells him a woman was admitted recently with no ID. She has been found roaming the halls, entering restricted areas. Luke walks in and Anna appears unresponsive. The doctor leaves and she comes to, fully. She has been faking it. They kiss and he gets her unbuckled from her restraints. She has not found out anything concrete, but there is an area very heavily guarded and she might be there. He believes in her and will not let her do it alone. They hear keys and go back to pretending. He asks the new doctor is he could stay so he can continue his therapy here. She agrees and shows him off. Anna sneaks off and gets into the restricted room and calls out for Robin.



    At the hospital, Patrick visits Olivia and tells her there is no telling if there will be more hallucinations. She looks at her glass of water and drops it, screaming. The water was bright green – toxic. Outside, Steve and Patrick talk about where to go from here when Ewen arrives. Olivia sees him and starts screaming – he is the devil! Outside, Ewen is not sure she will ever be ready to go home. He tells Patrick they need to consider Shadybrook. Inside her room, Steve calms Olivia down and they turn on the TV. Outside, Jason tells Patrick he needs to talk about Robin.



    Jerry interrupts everyone’s signals and introduces himself. He has a secret to share with them


    Monday’s Port Charles spoilers for General Hospital:

    The Swiss doc says to Luke, "Drop the accent and tell me what you are doing here."

    Jason asks Patrick, "Tell me any connection you know between Robin and Jerry Jacks."

    Anna puts her arm around a woman and says, "I am here now Robin."

    Jerry says on television, "Rather than hurting my friend and my niece, I was inoculating them for their survival. The rest of you won’t be so lucky."

    Tracy, tsk tsk. I know that Joseph is the Victor Mature of the 21st century, but you just can't leap into bed just after breakfast the second time you meet someone. He didn't even have to buy you dinner! As you said yourself, this is Monica, this is Alexis but not me.

    I hope Joe stays around, and I am hoping that Connie was not telling the truth about the alleged rape. That'll stir the pot somewhat.

    Lawd, will somebody introduce Olivia to Mr. Comb and Mrs. Brush. I don't know what kind of drugs crazy Heather put in her, but she can really see through people. She saw Ewen for the devil he is.

    I was worried about my girl Anna. I should have known she wouldn't let those folks get the best of her.

    Jason was trying to help that idiot Elizabeth and she gave him all kinds of grief. How many times has she butted into his life and know she won't even give him the time of day. Let her run off with the nut if she wants to. She was about to blab to him what Jason told her but got distracted. Don't take much.

    And Tracy, do you even know your bed buddy's last name?

    Well, Jerry has made his little announcement. Still think he is dead Elizabeth?

    I have a feeling that's not my sweet little Robin.

    Tracy's boyfriend didn't let her in on this might be the last time she gets nookie before she croaks.

    GREAT show today!

    Loved Tracy "going for it" and getting a little love in the afternoon.
    Loved Anna being alive and well and Luke joining forces with her.
    Loved Olivia seeing Ewen for the devil that he is.
    Also makes me think Lulu really IS pregnant as Olivia's predictions seem right on.
    Love Jason caring so much aboutLiz.
    Lots of beautiful mens bodies to enjoy,
    All in all a fast paced, interesting, show!

    I love jax being back. He has always been one of my favorites. I hope they keep him around.
    Love see Jason with Liz, he has always cared and loved her.
    My two favorite couples are together.
    Jax and Carly, Jason and Liz.

    I knew that once Spinelli told Jason and Sonny what he found out about Ewen yesterday, it wouldn't take any time at all for Jason to figure out that JERRY JACKS is back and starting to cause his usual mayhem!! GO JASON!!

    Hi all. Feeling a little pain today. I say it's a 2 on a scale of 10. Getting ready for GH. I think 3 shirtless men in 1 show is just the kind of medicine mama needs. Thank you GH!!! I will post as I watch.

    There was a lot of truth in Jerry's soliloquy about water, and how we take it for granted. I am always amazed that something so essential for life, and so rare in the universe, falls from the sky on a regular basis. Still, I'm not getting the point, and I haven't a clue about what Jerry's trying to accomplish, but maybe now he'll tell everybody at once. I'm sure it's going to be despicable.

    It looks like Tracy has moved on. It's refreshing to see two adults acting like grown-ups for a change (I'm talking to YOU, Alexis!). Joe Jr. sure is cavalier about indulging himself when he knows there's about to be some kind of panic inducing attack on the citizens of Port Charles. Now that he knows his son is safely out of town, why is he hanging around? I was thinking as smooth as Scummy is with a line (pay attention Bigfoot!), I don't see why he would've ever had to resort to rape. Perhaps like his eye for antiques, he developed his touch with the ladies over time. Tracy, otherwise known as “Popsicle,” just melted.

    I'm glad to be wrong that Luke was taking off on vacation, and it's great to see him team up with Anna again, but on a sour note, Luke is up to his old tricks, and I emphasize “old.” Luke is one of my all-time faves, but his “Von Schimmerman” schtick outlived it's novelty ten years ago. QUESTION: Why put on a fake foreign accent in a foreign country? What if the staff doctor spoke German, or whatever Luke was pretending to be? Why not just be an American, or a Canadian doctor? It's not like anybody is likely to recognize Luke in Switzerland anyway.

    Wow! Psychic Oblivia saw the Kryptonite Jerry's about to put in the water, and she saw Dr. Bigfoot for monster that he is, although she mistakenly thought he was the Devil, and not a Legendary Forest Creature. She's batting a thousand so far. Somebody should buy her a blank lottery ticket, STAT! Who will be the first to recognize her gift, and who will be the first to try to exploit it? Certainly it won't be the cement headed StevenLars, who appeared to be thinking to himself, “Just as soon as I get ONE crazy person out of my life...”

    I think Oblivia will follow the path of Cassandra, to whom the gods gave the gift of second sight, the ability to see the future, but it also came with the curse that no one would ever believe her. How frustrating that must've been to watch the future unfold while being helpless to prevent the tragedies to come.

    He's a dirty, low down, bottom feeding baby switcher, but I'm with Todd in questioning the purpose of Carly's visit. What WAS she doing in Todd's room?

    **off topic***

    But on a related subject, I got one of those annoying, unsolicited robo-calls, and a cheerful woman's voice said:

    “Hi! I'm Heather, and I'm calling to schedule the installation of your new, state of the art, home security system.”

    I laughed, and said into the phone: “Not bloody likely!” and hung up. Then I wished I had held on to see if Heather's slogan was: “If I can't get to you, then NOBODY can!

    OOHHHHH WHY couldn't Jason have ripped off his shirt & have an ab off. That would have made me feel real good.

    Tracy, Tracy, Tracy, there's no fool like an old fool.Yu know yu are too old to be doing one-night-stands in a hotel in the middle of the day. If this was yur significant other,and yu wanted a different scenarioand a little fun in the afternoon, I would say "good for yu." But yu don't know this man. Do yu even know his last name. You are going to feel like a first class fool when yu find out that he is a gangster-wanna-be just out killing time. Shame on yu for being that weak and needy at yur age. You're supposed to have more class than that. That kind of thing is Carly's style.
