Off the Rails.

Friday, February 05 2010
Elizabeth has another outburst, Dante and Olivia give their statements, and Carly finds a new home.


At the airport, Jason tries to get Sonny to board the plane, but he won't leave his son, who he shot.



In his hospital room, Dante focuses on Lulu, as he tells Lucky his shooting was an accident. He says he went to Sonny's house with the intention of arresting him, but Sonny wasn't there. He lies that he found and unloaded Sonny's gun so he wouldn't use it on him later, but it jammed and went off when Sonny walked in. Lucky scoffs at his assertion that he shot himself and says, "Good luck getting anyone to believe you." Lucky leaves and Lulu asks why he's putting everything on the line for Sonny. Dante explains he didn't do it for Sonny, but for himself. He blames himself for waiting on the arrest, and then going alone. He wants Sonny to go down clean, on the case he built up, for a crime he committed. He thinks there is enough evidence against him regarding Claudia, so the shooting can stay between him and Sonny. Lulu says he has her support no matter what he decides, as Morgan walks in to ask Dante if being his friend was just part of his cover. Dante assures him that was not the case and he's happy to have him, Michael and Kristina as family. Morgan wonders if he hates their father. Dante tells him he didn't implicate Sonny in the shooting and he doesn’t hate him, but he hates what he does. Morgan says Michael might hate him, but he doesn't and he's happy he's his brother and still alive. Morgan leaves and Lulu gets Dante some sweet tea, which Olivia told her he liked when he was under the weather. She says Olivia told her lots of things about him as they were sitting vigil and Dante calls his mother an enigma because she is either flapping her gums or shut tight.



At home, Carly sits stunned, as Jax tries to defend his role in Dante's investigation against Sonny saying he wanted to protect his family. Carly thinks he did it because he hates Sonny and this was his way to finally beat him. They go back and forth and Jax thinks Sonny in prison will save all the kids, but Carly retorts that he destroyed his family. Carly gets Josslyn and tells Jax she's leaving. Jax won't give up on them because he loves her - until the day he dies. Morgan comes home and Carly says they are leaving. After they're gone, Michael comes home and Jax confesses everything to his stepson. Michael punches him and once Jax gets him under control, Michael yells out that he trusted him and wonders how he could wreck his family.


Jason and Sam meet up at the penthouse and she gets filled in on Sonny not jumping bail. Jason wants to just shut out the world tonight and just be together. That works for Sam and Jason kisses her. Carly knocks on the door and walks in with Josslyn and Morgan and tells Jason they are moving in.


A combative Olivia begrudgingly answers Ronnie and Mac's questions about Dante's shooting. When they bring up Sonny, she refuses to implicate him, which makes Ronnie furious and he accuses her of perjuring herself. She says she is doing no such thing since she wasn't in the room. Ronnie thinks Dante is giving his statement against Sonny right now, but Olivia still doesn't budge. Mac gets a call from Lucky who tells him Dante claims he shot himself.



Sonny comes back to the hospital and runs into Luke, who wonders how he managed to still be alive and walking around, considering he just shot a cop. They talk about what happened and Sonny says his first reaction upon learning 'Dominic' was a cop was regret, not betrayal. Luke offers to get him out of town, but Sonny can't leave now. Luke wishes him luck and walks away as Olivia walks up. She tells him Dante lied about the shooting and she didn't contradict his story so it looks like he's free. After Sonny walks away, Olivia runs into Lulu and tells her Sonny won't be charged with shooting Dante, but assures her the guilt will eat him alive.



Sonny walks into Dante's room who says, "Hey Dad. Turns out you’re one hell of a shot."


At the hospital, Epiphany directs a boy who burned his arm and his mother to Elizabeth. Elizabeth learns the mother blames herself for paying more attention to her boyfriend than her son. Epiphany tells her she shouldn't be so hard on herself, but Elizabeth lashes out at her, saying she doesn’t deserve to be a mother. Nikolas walks by and hears Elizabeth chastising the woman. He pulls her away and, as a board member, orders her to take a leave of absence. She's furious she is the only one paying for their affair and walks off.


Lucky goes to Jake's to meet Nikolas who tells him Elizabeth is coming off the rails. Lucky doesn’t care, but Nikolas implores him to reach out to her. Nikolas leaves, but Lucky hangs back to drink and then sees Elizabeth walk in the bar.



Kristina calls Kiefer over and he asks why she's so upset. She fills him in on Sonny shooting Dante who is actually a cop and her brother. He tries to console her and kisses her, but she stops him. He thinks she needs a distraction from her father and badmouths Sonny. Kristina gets upset and defends her dad, prompting Kiefer to become furious over her mixed messages. As she continues to yell at him, he slaps her.


Next on General Hospital:

Dante sets the record straight with Sonny.

Jason confronts Dante.

Lucky encounters Johnny at Jake's.

I was glad that Carly left Jax. Like Carly said, Jax knew she had ties to Sonny when he married her.

As for Kristina, she need to pick up something heavy and lay it across Keifer's head.

And why is Nikolas running to Lucky to help Elizabeth. I thought Nikolas was her knight in shining armor. I guess he is only good for the bedroom.

Wow, this is the first time, that I get to post the first comment, considering I didn't get to see today's eppy because my local ABC station decides that the snow storm that we're getting is more important. GMAB. Anyhoo, another day where I don't get to see GH and I was looking forward to watching it live since, I got off work early.

I could rely on the updates to post, but since I don't have to get up early tomorrow, I can stay up late and watch it on SoapNet. I'll post my comments tomorrow. Can't wait to read what you guys thought of today's show.

Hello everyone and happy postings.

GO COLTS!!!

cowboys fan, you beat me.

All I can say is that Lisa must be pretty darn desperate to want to go after a man married to a woman who is HIV positive. She's pathetic.

Loved the scene with Dante and Morgan today. Great chemistry.

It's good to see that despite the circumstances Dante has kept his quick wit about him. Such a funny line to Sonny!

Wish Jason, Sonny or Carley would have seen Jax slam Michael up against the wall. Not a a fan of violence but, was glad Michael got in a punch.

Also wish Sonny, Michael or Ethan would have seen Keifer's slap. Kristina is in such a bad place for a young girl and picks the wrong guy to turn to.

Carley just shows up at Jason's, two kids in tow without a phone call. Sam has really got to be the best girlfriend to know that Carley and family always come first. It was like that during their first relationship and seem things haven't changed. Glad Carley told Jax how it really is. She didn't buy what he was selling at all!

So happy Sonny's family covered for him. I know it's all wrong and all crazy but, it was their choice. Sonny will spend the rest of his life making it up to Dante. Lulu needs to keep her trap shut and just be supportive of Dante To be fair seems like she is trying. Loved Dante calling Sonny Dad. And Morgan was cute too.

cowboy: Liz wouldn't talk to Nic, he tried, which is why he was desperate and went to Lucky..

I want to comment on Dante's line to Sonny, "Hey Dad. Turns out you’re one hell of a shot." I'm not sure what Dante actually meant by that - I mean, I could have hit Dante at the range Sonny shot him for.

And saying that he wants Sonny to go down "clean" for Claudia's murder being a crime Sonny did commit? HELLO??!!? Sonny SHOT YOU!! Where I live, which decidedly now must NOT be in the same universe as Port Charles, that's attempted murder. A cop, who happens to be Sonny's son, testifying against Sonny for the shooting, what could possibly be more ironclad than that to put the career criminal behind bars??!!? UGH, this show is too infuriating sometimes because we all know that Sonny DID NOT kill Claudia so he won't go to jail for that either.

I'm glad I only read the recaps now, watching the show would give me another killer headache...

I haven't watched it yet but I'm glad Carly left Jax. Jax is so high and mighty its sick. I'm happy to see everyone gathering together. Looks like a lot of family time is in store. I think Keifer will get his just desserts soon.

Posted by Blesseddiva at Friday, February 05 2010 01:50 PM

Carly is such a hypocrite, what Jax did is NOT illegal. Jason and Sonny arranged to kill an undercover cop, Jason rigged his car and Sonny shot him...it doesn't seem to shake her loyalty to him. Jax helped the cops doing the community a great service and HE IS THE BAD GUY?
Jax also relented in having Jason, a guy he hates, be the godfather to his daughter...to please her?
She is upset about Michael's shooting, coverup etc. With Jax, she wouldn't have to live like this.
I do not get it. Never Mind that Franco, the psycho is on the loose and still has a fixation on Jason, but she will take her kids and move in with him.
Jax, you need to find a woman who appreciates you.
