So I'm only interested in Liz and Sam and hope you got whatever you needed from the rest of these bozos as needed.
Desolate Cabin: Liz is a simpering mess. Honestly, I don't like that she lies but how silly is it that she can't hold it together, like at all? Shots blast all the glass out out of the windows. Liz tries to just randomly shoot from the floor. Sam stops her and says they don't have much ammo. Sam wants them to lay low and play dead until they can see the whites of their eyes. Lil Cameron calls out, but Sam makes Liz sit still. Grey Goose busts in the door and looks around, giving Sam time to shoot him. For some insane reason, she doesn't take his weapon but shuts the door on him. Since the door is obviously about as effective as wet matches at this point. Is that a zither playing? I'm so glad Zither Guy showed up!
Liz and Sam sit in the torn up living room. Liz whisper asks why they are sitting there,and Sam remains eerily calm and says they are buying time. At this Liz starts crawling across the floor, and Sam stops her. Sam assures her that doing what Sam says is the best chance they have to protect the kids. The longer they wait out The Danger, the better chance they have of Jason or Lucky coming to them. Liz asks how Sam can do this, and Sam shrugs and says she grew up handling guns for her dad. She tells of her childhood, being a little girl with a criminal and con artist for a father. One time one of the marks came to their house, and she shot at his feet b/c she'd seen it in a Western. Liz giggles in spite of the situation at this. Sam was only 8 when this happened. Cameron calls out again, and Liz says she has to go to him. Sam promises she'll give her life to protect Liz's kids. Liz can only hope and pray that 1. this is true and 2. it doesn't come to that.
Liz comes back and Sam worries it's too quiet out there. She hands a gun to Liz and says there are 3 bullets. Sam is out of bullets and can only use her gun as a blunt object. She demands Liz go to the boys and run for the river if things go bad. Liz doesn't want to leave Sam alone, but Sam snaps that Liz has to act like a mother and go to the boys. Liz leaves and Sam stands by the door. It opens and Chin Dimple enters. Sam tries to hit him on the head but misses. She and Chin Dimple struggle. A shot rings out and Chin Dimple falls. Sam turns in surprise to see Liz standing with a smoking gun.
Liz holds the gun and breathes is shallow, quivering breaths as Sam checks Chim Dimple's pulse. Liz asks "is he?" Sam responds that he's dead. She asks how Liz is doing, and Liz honestly answers that she doesn't know. Sam gently says that Liz saved her life. Liz lifts the gun and hands it to Sam and says "take this, I don't ever want to touch it again. Sam reminds Liz to breathe. Liz exhales "I just killed a man." Sam steps forward and resolutely reminds her "who would have killed you and your children." Liz stares at this statement hanging in the air, and Sam softens and says thinking of that will help her get through it. Liz says "just tell me this is over." Sam can only says she hopes it is. Liz slowly drifts back to her boys.
Jason drives in his car, talking to Bernie. What, no blue tooth in that $50k car? He says he's not worried about a fire on the outskirts of town, but then his logic chip kicks into gear, and he wonders if The Danger is trying to draw his attention from their real goal. He says he's going to check on the Desolate Cabin. But mostly this scene establishes there is no cell service in the Mountain Region of Port Charles. Jason tries to call the cabin and is alarmed that the number is out of order.
Liz stands in the doorway of Desolate Cabin #2432 and bellows out, in a sore throat inducing sort of bellow "Jake! Jaaaaaaaake!" Jason pulls up and Sam jumps in front of the car. Did she think he was going to run over Liz? That was odd. He asks Sam what happened, and Sam says The Danger took Jake. Sam hops in the car. They watch Liz standing there, with this cloth diaper in her hands, looking excactly how she was always going to end up looking a year or two after she climbed those 15 flights.
I tried to find the song that plays at the end, but to no avail.
Best lines:
Claud to Sonny: "when you don't believe in love, and you don't need the money, you don't think about marriage."
Oliva on Coleman: Agggg, he's hot, but a living, breathing mistake of the type I've made many, many times.
Carly, taking a shot, "oh, we all have regrets"
Oliva, out of the corner of her mouth "who says I regret it?"
Spinelli to Jason regarding Mac telling him to stay away from Maxie: "See,I know your Secret Pain, I am a fellow lone wolf!"
Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving!

GH Recap 11/23: Cold Turkey Has Got Me On the Run
I heard the John Lennon song Cold Turkey the other day, and I really liked the arrangement. I think it's actually about heroin, but the chorus seemed fitting for the week in real life and for our dim witted heroines.
Previously on General Hospital:
Indians used to live on Spoon Island. Jactslikeanidiot kidnapped Nik's son and then Nik found out and didn't press charges but remained bitter and angry when Jax was around, and Jax didn't appreciate the 'tude, so he bought the island in the least realistic way imaginable and is now taunting the man whose child he once claimed was his own.
The Danger showed up in a Russian form and burned down a diner that is older than my earliest memories, but also Sonny's stupid coffee house, and so Lucky and Jason decided to protect their women and children by sending them to a desolate cabin that just happens to have running water and a cord of firewood and is perfectly stocked but not at all dusty, and they, of course, sent them with no guards or cops.
Jactslikeanidiot continues to taunt Nik about Disneyland:Spoon Island.
[collapse expanded text]Corinthaus: Claud scoffs at Sonny's lame proposal saying it's not enough, but then Olivia walks in, and I guess that is enough, so she tells Olivia to tell Kate that she and Sonny are getting married.
PCPD: Apprently someone clued in Mac that half the town was burned down last night, so he's summoned Jason to chastise him.
Hidden Cabin: Sam and her t-shirt contest shirt and Liz re-discover that they are on their own.
Credits.
Desolate Cabin: Liz scoops up her boys and heads for the bedroom. She masterfully has them all play fort, so it's not terrifying that they are hanging out in the dark. Sam puts a chair under the door knob, which will be so effictive for a door with a window, but whatever, it's something. She loads a gun and goes into the bedroom. She and Liz say they are going to play "look out the window" while the boys play Fort. Then she and Liz heave a mattress in front of the door. and try to develop the power of invisibility.
Cafe Interrogate: mac gravely tells Jason about all The Danger and how Maxie was involved. Jaosn insists he hates all of this too. Mac is so scary and angry. Why can't they write him as an actually potent police chief? Jason sits there in cuffs, rubbing his face. Mac says that no matter what they call it in Mob World, in Mac's world, they call it murder, and he's going to shut the mob down.
Wyndermere: Nik points out that his lawyers are dealing with the fake estate interests. Carly flops all about but rightly points out that Spoon Island is creepy and bad things happen here, so it's a hard sell as a resort. lol, I hadn't even added the annual murder (or semi-murder) that happens here. Nik says he'll get back the unicorn, or he'll tie this up for years in court. Jactlikeadouche says he's fine with that and claims it's not personal. Carly says no one starts building in upstate NY in winter. Jactslikeadweeb names it "Spoon Island Spa"
Jake's: Johnny gets drunk and Looloo promises to love him no matter what. Looloo-pie, no matter how hot the guy, if he drinks as much as Johnny? It never ends well. Not even taking the body count into consideration. Why is Loo dressed like a peacock vomited on her?
Corinthaus: Olivia asks Sonny what he wants her to tell Connie. He says he'll handle it. She says no one but her should say. She puts on a disappointed voice and says she's not surprised. She wishes he'd been honest about what power means to him. Olivia, he was. Kate chose to labotomize herself with that knitting needle she got from Vera Wang's warehouse. Olivia leaves angrily and Claud asks "which cousin are you really in love with? Kate or Olivia?" Oh, Claud, don't you know by now? Sonny is always in love with the woman he hasn't slept with either yet or most recently.
Commercials
Wyndermere: Jactslikealosah tells Nik that he can taunt him if he wants. 'scuse me? Nik is taunting whom? Nik pulls out a ruler and says they can settle this right now. Carly is a bit overheated and wondering if it's rude to suggest a threesome. Can someone PLEASE give Carly a brush? How big is spoon island? Jax says he's going to develop Spoon Island and leaves, but Niks says he's going to enjoy bringhing him down.
Kate's Beige House: Maxie is defending her choices to Kate. Kate snips that Clarice is the junior editor, but Maxie didn't give her a voice. Well, then it sounds to me like Clarice is a DEPLORABLE editor, if Maxie has the power to talk the printers into doing things her way and not Clarice's. Kate angrily snips "who would carry a clutch like this to a formal" showing Maxie a page from the magazine. Maxie respectfully says "everyone I know." Kate softens a bit, but then Olivia shows up asking Kate to give Maxie a break. Maxie leaves, and Kate can tell that Olivia is there to tell her about Claud and Sonny's marriage that will happen during sweeps in 1428.
Corinthaus: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, oh, sorry, nodded off.
Desolate Cabin: Cuteness in the fort continues. Aw, Jakeson is a little toe head. (tow head?) Liz asks the boys to promise to stay in the fort no matter what happens and that she'll stay with them as long as she can. Sam hears a noise and leaves. There is a loud clunking and Cameron cutely squeals 'what iz dat mommeeee?" Liz whispers she doesn't know, like it's a fun game, but her eyes bulge.
Commercials
Desolate Cabin: Liz coos at the kids to play for awhile and rushes out to check on Sam. Sam or Liz hollers out "it's part of the surpriiiiiise!" Liz and Sam leave. Jakeson tries to walk away, but Cameron breaks the needle off the cutometer and holds Jakeson back and says "nonononono!" Aw, Cam is a little crime fighter in training. Liz and Sam try to put their brains together and find a clue.
Cafe Interrogate: Diane shows up to deliver one of her castigations that I so adore. Jason says she knows he won't be connected to the warehouse killings. Diane sucks on her teeth and knows no such things. She sees Alexis (!) through the window and finds it promising. I guess she's hoping to trade shoes for murder charges?
Corinthaus: Claud says they should stop acting like strangers that met in a bar. She says she's never going to be a Madonna, but she doesn't want to be treated like a whoor. Sonny shrugs and agrees. I have no idea what they are talking about....other than an arranged marriage. He hands her a ice rink ring, and says he wanted to do it right. She says it's tradition to put it on her finger. I feel bad for how much fun I made of Marlena being possessed by the devil. That was Hepburn and Tracy compared to this rot. I mean, Nico and Cecily was Dostoevsky compared to this!
Commercials
Corinthaus: Sonny and Claud keep mumbling to each other. Why are they whispering? Sonny says they should leave the past behind, and this will be hard for both of them. claud stands and says he's survived worse than her. Sonny says the ring is a sign of respect and puts it on her finger.
Jake's: Olivia is getting loaded and Carly shows up and orders a beer. Olivia says when Coleman gets the chance, they are going to need more shots. Carly takes her shot and aks "what?" This scene just made up for the past 12. Olivia says "it's official: Sonny and Claud are engaged. Carly picks up a shot glass. Hey ABC, gals, you know the drill...DRINK!
Cafe Interogate: Diane and her delicious line delivery (I imagine if it were cake it would be cheesecake with a fancy topping of your magical choice. Like Turkish Delight. the topping becomes for the eater whatever they fancy as the most delicious thing ever.) She says it's an uphill battle and leaves.
PCPD Bullpen: Diane and Alexis meet to once again determine who the show should really be about. Alexis tells Diane to drop the case while she has a chance. Diane tightens her gun belt and says there is no chance. They squint at each other, totally turned on about facing each other in court.
Desolate Cabin: Sam gives Liz a gun and does her best to give her Gun School 101 through 11001. "Just remember it's him or you." Sam has a shot gun, or some reason. Sam says they have to hope The Danger doesn't know if they are armed or how many of them there are. Liz goes to check on the boys. I think she gives them crackers? Liz meets Sam in the living room and asks "I know we've had our differences, but will you please promise me tonight, no matter what happens, you will protect my boys." I wonder why they didn't bother to settle this before leaving for the desolate cabin....without guards or cops?
Commercials
Desolate Cabin: Liz says the boys are asleep, but they'll wake up if they hear shooting. Um, so shoot quietly? Sam says letting Liz's kid be kidnapped is the worst thing she's ever done, but she promises she'll lay down her life to protect them. Liz believes her and asks "but it's not going to come to that right." She starts to lose it and says Jason warned her about this and she didn't listen. Sam is freakishly cool as a cucumber and says that all that matters is keeping it together for now. She turns to Liz and says "you're strong enough to get through this" and gives her an encouraging eyebrow flourish. This is totally the hottest lesbian porn I've ever seen.
Crimson: kate complains that coffee is crappy. (Have you tried delicious McCafe?) Maxie offers to make another pot. What, no espresso maker? I'm so sure. Kate says that she knows Olivia didn't make a choice b/c the theme is diffused and the rest is off topic. the hell? since when is Olivia a fashionista? She's a total hottie, but total hotties can look as hot in Tarjet as Wang. Maxie asks Kate not to take it out on her that Sonny is the worst. Jax shows up, and Maxie leaves. Kate says she doesn't want to talk about it: She wants to celebrate not making the worst decision of her life. jax agrees.
jakes: Carly is not surprised. She says she has kids with Sonny, so she'll always be connected. She wishes she could say she didn't care, but she didn't. She doesn' tknow what to say, but then she eloquently and rightly says that she'll always be there when he needs her like a big fat sucker. Olivia says maybe she loses these other relationships as an excuse to go back to Sonny. Carly disagrees and says Jacstlikeadouche is the perfect man for her, and she's worried about his big, dorky, wrath.
Corinthaus: Y'all, i just can't. I love Sarah Joy Brown, but this is such a boring storyline for her. These two actors seem to be going out of their way to be boring just to finally break the Guza spell that they are destined to be teamed up. I sort of loved Carly and Sonny back during their hate-sex days. I hated what they did to everyone else, but I did see their chemistry. But that was a decade ago. Can we all move on now?
Commercials
Kate's Beige House: Kate pours champagne and drinks to "mistakes and the promise to do better next time" and then without clinking, she downs her glass. heh. I guess I've been there, so I won't mock. He refills her glass, and they drink to freedom. So, just one glass of champagne is all it takes to send these two into each other's arms. and they are entitled and more power to them but don't act all high and mighty when you have been damming up this much sexual tension. Yet, they are the better people because THEY KEPT IT DAMMED UP.
Jake's: Olivia drunkely asks if all things were equal, who would Carly pick: Sonny or Jax. She clarifies "not the one you think you should pick. the one you want." Carly easily answers Jax. she says for a long time she would have said Sonny, but he's not in her heart like Jax is. She's good at trashing what's good in her life. Olivia slurs "don't give up. These things have a way of working out." carly says it won't happen. Carly says "cards on the table" Olivia slams her beer and slaps her hands flat on the bar "right here" heh. I love Drunken Scenes. Carly asks how mcuh Sonny meant to her back in the day. Olivia insta-answers "a lot. A lot more than I let anybody know." carly uses her freakish Laura Wright eyes to at once communicate jealousy and empathy and asks thusly "how much does he matter to you now?" Olivia stares bleary eyed.
Corinthaus: Imagine the chemsistry between Olivia and Carlya nd then dillute it with the Pacific Ocean, and you are left with Claud and Sonny, sitting around drinking boringly. Claud toasts to a successful arrangement, and Sonny clinks. Claud asks if they will live in the fortress. He says he told the maid she can have any room she wants except his. She says she's kind of a slob, so that was smart. He mumbles that's not what concerns him. She downs her drink, and they sit in awkward silence. Sonny wants to get married tonight.
Cafe Interrogate: Alexis tells Jason that the Commish has all the evidence he needs to tie Jason to the warehouse slayings. She says she's finally going to do her job. Diane says Alexis can't hold him without evidence. Alexis hilariously says Jason is wearing the same clothes as the warehouse assailant. Diane mocks that this will sound silly to a judge. I don't see why she doesn't say this is what he wears everywhere. Alexis mocks that Jason is "the good mobster" and so they should let him off the hook. Alexis assures Diane she will find the evidence. So PCPD is Gitmo now, and you can just hold people with no charges or evidence?
Desolate Cabin: Liz says she's freaked out. Sam says that Liz knows what she's doing in the ER and eerily says she's scared, but she feels like she can see better and hear better. Liz remains full of panic and fear. Sam remains some weird combination of a Russ Meyers film and a bad Ray Liotta movie. It rules. Suddenly a blast comes through the window.
The end.

Grey's Recap 11/20: In the Midnight Hour
We zoom around sexy shots of Seattle all lit up. Meredith tells us "when you are little, night time is scary because there are monsters hiding under the bed. When you get older, the monsters...are different."
Shots of Christina and Mere frantically working on a patient as Mere continues "frustration, self doubt"
We see Callie lying on the floor with a bloody face "lonliness" Lexie sits on the floor and looks scared "regret"
More shots of the city at night. "and though you may be older and wiser, you still find yourself scared of the dark"
It was a dark and stormy night...
Izzy and ZombieDenny meet up in her bedroom. She still doesn't know what he's there for, but he says it's to have The Sex that they never had before. Shirts fly off.
Ambulance Bay: Dr. Hunt is waiting on an ambulance and has an awkward exchange with Christina. He clearly wants very much to say something profound, presumably about his feelings for her, but he can't speak. She impatiently gives him a chance to speak but then walks off to change into doctor garb.
Grey House: Mere sits on the bathroom floor reading her mother's journals. Die comes in to pee. Mere says she thinks she would have liked her mom if she hadn't been her daughter b/c she was funny and intense like Christina. Die wonders if she should hook up with Lexie as her intern BFF. Mere stammers that this is a bad idea b/c Lexie was raised right with hugs and kitten posters, so they wouldn't be a good match. Mere gets a page from Christina about an appendectomy. As she and Die pass Izzy's room, they hear her moaning passionately. Alex walks out of his room at this point b/c he was also paged, and Meredith finds this startling b/c she'd assumed Izzy was with Alex. She nervously calls out to Derek, worried that her boyfriend has decided to sleep with Izzy, but he sleepily pops out of their room. Alex thinks it's hot that Izzy is loudly pleasuring herself and knocks on Izzy's door. Izzy explains she's not feeling well and won't be going to the hspital. I dont know how I feel about zombie sex. I also don't know how I feel about Grey's ripping of a GH storyline of all things. Why not steal from a non sucky show?
Seattle Grace: Bailey meets her residents and realizes they've all been paged about the appendectomy. Solo Surgery is coming up, and they all know that it's usually an appendectomy (which they seem to be calling an appy for short, and which is much easier to type) Christina and Mere show off that they already know stuff about the patient, so they get to do the appy. Dr. Hunt wheels in a Father who fell out of a window and is a big ol' bloody mess. George is on call, so he gets to go with Dr. Hunt. Bailey sends Alex to help with a woman experiencing abdominal pain. Alex says he's here to help any patient with pains, and then he winks at Bailey. She chuckles this crazy growling chuckle at the group of suck ups she's created.
Intern Skills Lab: The interns have given the Floppy Haired Intern an epidural. Why are all of these well educated people completely out of their ever loving minds? Die shows up and is sad she missed the fun. She says that Death is wrong about Lexie. This sets off Lexie's competitive streak, and she suggests that they take out Floppy's appendix. They'll just do it while he's still numb from the epidural, so they won't need anesthesia. Floppy is against it, so the very, very insane Die offers to be the patient. This is obviously going to go well.
Dr. Hunt's Patient: Mark and Callie walk and talk about the patient. Adult male, sleep walking and walked through a 2nd story plate glass window. Ow! Mark comments it would be difficult to wake up all bruised and bleeding and confused. Callie says it sounds like her life "married, betrayed, gay, abandoned", and then she woke up with no idea how she got there. Callie makes the terrible mistake of saying she's clearly hit bottom b/c what could get worse. Aw, poor Callie, I think she's probably about to find out how worse it can be. Sleepwalker has a cute little daughter. He wakes up and is still in the midst of his night terrors, I guess, b/c he flails all around demanding to see his daughter. She tries to call out to him that she's here and okay, but he's too frantic to focus. In the melee, he knocks Callie to the floor where she lands with a bloodied face. Never say things can't get worse on a medical drama, Callie.
Commercials
OR Scheduling Board: Lexie, Die and Cute Black Intern discuss that they could do their incredibly ill-advised appendectomy in the day surgery center and avoid being discovered. Mere sees them and asks what they are up to. I just realized that Lexie reminds me a bit of Nadine from General Hospital in that she rambles on and on in a cutesy and aggravating way. Mere just thinks she's weird and goes to her appy surgery.
Alex's Case: How delightful, it's Leslie Grossman (aka Mary Cherry from Popular) and and Joshua Malina (aka Will Bailey from the West Wing). They are a couple, and she has stomach pains. Joshua mocks her and says she thinks she has stomach canceer b/c the internet told her, but she insists she's not a hypochondriac. Alex examines her and says it's probably not her appendix, but he needs a stool sample. She is horrified.
Callie cries out in pain as Mark treats her broken nose. She laments that she had a good nose and that now everything hurts b/c of her crappy year. Mark decides to fix the nose with her knocked out so that when she wakes up, she'll be fixed. She asks if he's still her friend who will have sex with her when she wants it. He sweetly yes yes "I mean, as soon as your face heals" she says she hates him, but he just laughs and says she loves him.
Sleep Walker Patient: Flailing patient is is now calm and Dr. Hunt and McDreamy tend to him while his cute daughter watches. His wife died a few years ago, and that's when the night terrors started. His doctor prescribed clonazepam and that stopped the terrors. He assumes he forgot to take his meds tonight and thus had the terrors again. He apologizes for stressing his daughter. She is clearly having to be the mom in this family and says it's fine.
Supply Closet: Mark catches Lexie gathering supplies for her ill advised intern surgery, but Derek catches them both and Mark has to assure him that he's not hitting on Lexie.
Competent Appendectomy OR: Bailey, Mere and Cristina begin the appendectomy. Mere and Christina ask a lot of questions. Baily has such a masterful knowledge of this simple procedure, it's become something she can do without really thinking about it. I wonder if that will come in handy later?
Horribly Ill Conceived Surgery Plot: Die has gotten her epidural. Lexie proves how ill conceived this is by literally reading from a book about how to do this procedure. Lexie draws on Die's tummy where the incision will be. Everyone leans forward, holding their breath in anticipation, but then Lexie stops at the last second, eliciting groans from everyone. Lexie has found the molecule of sanity left in her silly brain and gives a good speech that they should just demand better educations from their residents. But then Die proves that she's clearly insane and grabs the scalpel and CUTS INTO HER OWN DAMN ABDOMEN and purrs "or you can take out my appendix." Wow, that was totally crazy. If Die survives this, I see a psych consult in her future!
Commercials
Horribly Ill-Conceived Surgery: The interns all gasp happily when Die's appendix is totally there in her abdomen, just like they've read about! But then Lexie wonders if the appendix doesn't look inflamed. The others agree. Nervous Short Intern says that this means this is not a routine procedure if it's inflamed. She wants to get a resident, but Die stops her and says she can't have anyone panic and tells Nervous Intern to leave if she can't handle it. Nervous Intern apparently also has a few molecules that aren't crazy in her short frame, so she leaves.
Sleep Walker's Room: Mark asks Daughter where the dad is, but Daughter says he's having tests. She asks if Callie is okay and apologizes that her dad hit her. Mark says it's not Daughter's fault. She says she feels bad that she couldn't get her dad back to bed b/c sometimes she can talk him to sleep. Daughter is clearly carrying around a big ol' bag of Secret Pain. Mark picks up on this and says that she should really try to get some sleep. She agrees because it's perfectly reasonable, but her demeanor suggests that she's been battling a really stressful existence for a long time.
Alex's Patient: Apparently Mary Cherry diagnosed herself with a staff infection (Will Bailey calls it a pimple) and took antibiotics she got online. Apparently she did this without telling Will b/c he's shocked at this news. Alex says she killed all the bacteria in her body: good and bad. To resolve this, they have to re-introduce good bacteria to her body with a fecal transplant. Bleck, is that really a thing? Mary exclaims "Poop? I need a poop transplant?" The gross way this happens is they put a tube through her nose and into her stomach and then pump poop into her, preferably from someone she shares everyday germs with. Will is very tired of dealing with his hypochondriac wife and won't give her any poop until she admits she just had a pimple and not a staff infection. He leaves in disgust as she poutingly calls after him.
Nurse's Station: Mere and Christina comment that they haven't seen any interns, and they aren't answering pages. Nervous Intern walks by carrying an armload of candy bars, but she insists she doesn't know where any of the interns are. She has a terrible poker face, and Christina calls her on it, and she takes all her candy. Alex shows up to also comment he's lost his interns. It comes up that Die is in the hospital. This makes Christina realize something fishy is up, and she goes off in a huff. She probably thinks they are operating on dead people again. Mere sits with Alex and asks him what's up with Izzy. Alex says he doesn't know and is sick of people not talking to each other. He leaves to go get some crap. Mere reasonably wrinkles her nose at this odd statement. Then her stupid sister appears behind her. Lexie looks like....well...Lexie basically looks like she just did the stupidest thing she or anyone she's ever met has ever done. And Lexie has met Izzy the heart stealer, so that is saying something. Mere is immediately concerned by the look on Lexie's face, and it doesn't get better when Lexie squeaks out 'you got a minute?'
Skill's Lab: Cristina finds Floppy Haired, or Two, as she calls him, sitting on a gurney and doing charts. She barks at him to come with her and finish some charts on her appy patient. Two scrunches up his face like he's a puppy that got caught chewing a shoe and says as bravely as he can muster "NO!" Christina smiles gently and walks to him, with her hands on her hips, and sounding like a sweet, summer breeze while still managing to be a bit terrifying, she asks him "what do you mean no?" Like she's amused that this idiot thinks that he can defy an order from her. He has to come clean and say he can't go b/c he can't walk b/c of the catheter and the epidural. Christina's smile melts away as she realizes that the hospital is full of very insane interns.
Swoosh across Seattle to Grey House: Izzy and Dennyzombie cuddle in the afterglow. Izzy keeps her eyes closed and says she's going to just keep them closed b/c that way the magic of it all and the anything is possible of it all remains because it's terrible when the sun hits you and you realize it was all a dream. Denny kisses the top of her head and says okay.
Horribly Ill Conceived Surgery: Scared Intern (formally known as Cute Black Intern) is operating on Die, but it's very bloody, and he clearly doesn't know what he's doing. All the other interns have fled by this point, and he keeps impatiently looking at the door, willing real doctors to walk in. Finally Lexie rushes in with Mere and Christina close at her heels. Scared Intern breathes heavily and says he thinks she's dying. Thwump!
Commercials
Mere and Christina, who actually had a good resident that actually taught them stuff their first year, jump into action. Die's bp is very low. Lexie suggests calling a crash cart, but Christina barks that there is no crash cart in day patient surgery in the middle of the night, and this procedure should have been finished already, in a real OR with real surgeons. Mere barks at Scared Intern to page the chief and get Bailey and say there is an emergency and say nothing else "and get that crazy look off your face." But Mere, when a person is crazy enough to do this in the first place, they only got crazy to put on their face.
Mark tells Derek that he feels bad for the little girl who has to deal with her dad's night terrors. Derek, as per usual, only cares about himself and that his girlfriend takes in strays. I find it hard to remember why Derek is likeable or why I want him and Mere to even be a couple sometimes. Mark teases that he never thought about Little Grey that way until Derek brought it up. Derek tells him to unplant that seed of thought.
Alex's Patient: Alex has convinced Mary to tell Will that it was just a pimple, but she only says that she knows Will believes it was a pimple. He shouts "No poo for you!" heh. But Alex tells Will that Mary could lie and tell him what he wants to hear, but she's trying to tell him the truth and how she sees it, and he should quit walking away. Mary emotionally tells her husband that she really does think she has stomach cancer, and she thinks every headache is a brain tumor, and she lays awake at night feeling lumps in her breasts, which makes her heart race. She says there are a thousand things that can kill you, and she doesn't see how he can't see that. Will softens as he realizes that his wife is not being annoying on purpose, that she truely has a problem that she finds terrifying and that can't be willed away with logic. Even if her cancer isn't real, her hypochondria is an actual malady that deserves compassion.
Scared Intern finds Bailey and tells her there's an emergency. She's buried her face in a chart and casually asks what kind of emergency. Scared Intern has finally learned to follow orders, so he does what Mere told him and just says "it's an....emergency" But his face is so terrified that it looks like he'd be clammy to the touch, so Bailey snaps her chart shut and gravely follows him.
Sleep Walker: Derek would like to perform a procedure to help with the night terrors b/c he thinks they are caused by seizures in the frontal lobe. Dad says that it's just that he forgot his meds today. Mark gently prods Daughter, and she slowly starts sobbing as tells her father that he really has the night terrors every night, even though he takes the meds, but she is able to put him back to bed and get him to sleep. Aw, that must be so scary and exhausting for her! Dad reaches out to stroke her hair and asks why she didn't tell him this. Tears drip down her face as she says that the doctors said that stress caused his dreams, and she's his stress. Aw, this kid is breaking my heart. She's choking on her sobs. She says he takes such good care of her during the day, that she figured the least she could do is take care of him at night. Mark leans over to Daughter and gently reassures her that they don't think stress caused the terrors, they think it's the epilepsy. She then lets out this little heartbreaking stammering sob and says "so it wasn't my fault?" Poor Father looks at his sad little girl and feels a world of guilt that she was carrying such a burden.
Grey House: Izzy rolls over, but Denny is gone. She starts calling out his name and hurriedly pulls on a robe. Denny is just standing, dressed, in the doorway. She cries and yells at him that she thought he'd left her again. He softly says he's sorry for dying, but this only makes her yell some more that he can't apologize for dying b/c she killed him by convincing him to cut the LVAD. She cries a bit more and says dead people can't apologize, and she's probably just staying in this room and talking to herself and going crazy. He tries to comfort her, but she tells him to shut up and let her think. They sit on the bed for a moment and he tells her he loves her. She tells him she loves him too.
Ill Conceived Surgery: Bailey is scrubbed in and asks what the hell is going on. I have such a big crush on whoever picks the music for this show. Mere calmly explains they are repairing some stitches the interns did that came out. Christina is frustrated and needs more suction. Bailey somehow manages to become more awesome, even though it's impossible to be more awesome than Perfect and Complete Badass. She calmly and soothingly tells Christina that she doesn't need to see and guides her to use touch to find the part they are trying to repair. Bailey tells Mere to do the stitches. Mere asks which kind she should use, but Bailey is letting her little birds fly out of the nest and says either one works, and Mere has to do whatever she feels comfortable with. Mere is a bit nervous to be making this decision on her own, but once she makes the decision, she moves forward confidently and quickly. Lexie meanwhile stands there and silently sobs. That seems about right.

The Interns all sit in time out in a hallway. Nervous Intern asks if they are going to jail. Scared Intern tells her that she's not b/c she chickened out. George walks up and says he just heard. He says Lexie should have come to him and maybe he could have stopped her. She angrily says this is the only thing she's done for months that's not about getting him to notice her and that she did this, and it wasnt' about him. She leaves in a huff. Nervous Intern tells George that Lexie is in love with him and asks how he missed that. George stares in surprise at this.
Lexie sees the Chief call Mere and Christina into his office.
Grey House: Izzy gets a 911 page and has to go. She asks if Denny is going back to heaven to talk with his dead guy friends about the great last night they had together. He teases that he and his dead guy friends talk about sports. He assures her he's not going anywhere, and she decides to smile and believe this.
Alex's patient: Alex stirs a bowl of poop. Mary apologizes to Will for all her crazy. He takes her hand and says he loves her, crazy and all. He decides it's better for their sex life if he doesn't watch his poop go into his wife's nose. I can't find a single reasonable argument against this very wise choice.
Sleep Walker: Derek and Dr. Hunt and George do the epilepsy surgery, or whatever it's called. Ah, my favorite part of every episode where the doctors all learn a valuable life lesson that magically mirrors the life lesson that their patients are learning. Dr. Hunt blames the dad for making his kid's life so hard. George, however, believes that maybe the dad assumed he had the kind of relationship where his daughter would talk to him if there was a problem. He says if you really love someone, you talk, right. (Just like Lexie would have done if she really loved George) But Dr. Hunt thinks maybe the daughter tried to talk, but words failed her. "Sometimes words fail" (like how his words fail when he tries to talk to Christina). Ah, even if you are a great surgeon, you really do learn something new every day. Or at least on 26 Thursdays out of the year.
Waiting Area: Mark finds Daughter and sits with her to reveal even more layers of his finally developing character. Honestly, I loved Addison almost a Bailey amount of love and never understood why she would cheat on Derek for the bone head that Mark seemed to be. It's nice that we are finally seeing him as more of a person and not just a cartoon. He tells Daughter that he had a hard time sleeping when he was a kid b/c his parents were sucky and never around. He paints a picture of turning on TVs and lights to feel safe, but still not being able to sleep. She stares at her lap, communicating that he knows exactly what her life has been like. He says it's hard to sleep when you don't feel safe. She looks like she could cry, but also like she is simply too tired to exert the energy it would require. He takes her coffee and says she has to sleep now, and he'll be right here. She resists at first, but is clearly so deeply tired, that she can't put up much of a fight and is soon snoozing on his shoulder.
Chief's Office: Chief is angry because he was taken out of sleep. Mere says she can't believe this happened. Chief is not angry at the way they handled this, though. He sees a lot of maturity in them in the way they didn't panic and handled the operation and especially that they asked for help right away and didn't try to hide it (like the time with the LVAD is his implication). He says covering for each other is sometimes a good thing but sometimes it's hubris, and he's glad they know the difference. Christina smiles proudly and is clearly touched by this compliment. Then dumb ol' Lexie has to bound into the room and tearfully say she can't let them get in trouble for what she did. Mere tries to shush Lexie b/c they really aren't in trouble, but Lexie continues and says people tried to stop her and Christina had told them to shut it down. Suddenly Chief is mad at everyone again and asks if Christina and Mere knew about this. Christina says she did know some, but Mere insists she didn't.
Supply Closet: Mere yells at Christina for having known about this intern insanity. Christina insists she just knew they were doing sutures, and she thought she had handled it and shut it down. Mere yells that apparently she didn't b/c Lexie almost lost her job and Die almost died. Christina snaps that Mere doesn't really care about Lexie and Die did this to herself. Mere snaps back that she cares about her job and doing the right thing. Christina is at a vein popping level of anger and rails at Mere that she didn't do the right thing. The right thing would be to have Christina's back with the chief. The right thing would be to not let only Christina take the fall and be taken out of the running for solo surgery. The right thing would be to admit that all the resident's had interns in there and all of the residents didn't properly monitor their interns. If Sadie had died, it would have been both of their faults, and Mere should have said so.
Stairwell: Alex, George, Christina and Mere have all been waiting for Bailey. She's tired and in no mood to coddle anyone. They want to know what she's going to say to the interns, but she says she's raised her babies, and the interns are their babies. Mere asks what they should say to them, but Bailey repeats that she's done giving speeches because she raised her baby's right, and if they don't know what to say, then they don't need to be here. She walks away, still chastising them that they know what to do.
Die's Hospital Room: The Interns all file in behind their Residents. Christina sternly tells Lexie to present the case. Die asks what is going on. I guess she was thankfully unconscious for most of the time the interns were rummaging around inside of her? Lexie explains Die's case. Mere angrily asks Scared Intern to continue. He explains about the complications from the surgerey. Christina prods Lexie to finish. Lexie has a little prepared speech about how mistakes were made that compromised the patient's care and life and reflect badly on the hospital, and it won't happen again. The interns are told they are all on probation until further notice, and Mere admonishes that if they sneeze they are out of here. For some reason they grimace like this is a surprise. I'd be glad to even have a chance to sneeze! George says they've lost the Chief's respect, and that's hard to get back. Alex says that they've lost his respect and can assume they won't be getting it back. Knucklehead Intern whispers that Alex still respects Izzy. Alex pushes Knuckledhead up against the way and says "Izzy was trying to save a life. You almost killed a friend for fun. There is a difference." I can't really argue with that. Izzy, of course, just happens to overhear this exchange.
Bailey checks on Callie and asks how she is. Callie cutely purrs that they've got good drugs here. She asks if she heard right about the interns being crazy. Bailey says she can remember being new to it all and wanting to operate so badly that she'd do anything. Bailey sadly reflects that now she can do her surgeries without even thinking. Like when you drive home and don't really remember how you got there. She doesn't even remember most of them. She says it's so boring that she resents appendectomies. She laughs at herself for resenting an organ. She thinks maybe general surgery isn't for her. Maybe she needs to learn something new, but she's tired. Callie says it's okay to be tired. She says she's tired and she wants something, but she can't name it. Bailey smiles and says that makes two of them.
Meredith starts talking to us again. As she does. She talks about sleep being the easiest thing to do, you just close your eyes. Mark lays Daughter on a bed next to her soundly sleeping father.
Die stirs as Mere comes in and lightly says the surgery was a bad idea. Mere is not amused and says it was a terrible idea. She chastises her as her boss and says she questions if Die should even be a doctor. then she softens and sits on the bed and asks, as her friend, what the hell is going on with her. Die has been surprised at this side of Mere she's never known, and her eyes grow wet with tears and she answers as honestly as she can, "I don't know." But at least she's not denying there is some sort of problem, and that appears to be a relief to her.
Mere continues to tell us that for some sleep seems out of our grasp.
Derek sees Lexie sitting dejected in the hallway and Mark watching her. Mark says that Derek's mom used to see how tired Mark was and make Derek bring him home, so he could sleep. He says that was a good thing. They both watch Lexie looking tired and sad and Mark says "so either you bring her home, or I will." Derek smiles at this as Mark leaves. Aw, Mark is a softy, y'all.
Lovely shots of Seattle at dawn as Meredith says we want it but we don't know how to get it.
Christina is walking home and finds Dr. Hunt waiting for her on the stoop of her building. They stare for a moment, and he manages to say he doesn't know why he came here. I don't know if he means her stoop or Seattle. I don't think he knows either. She asks if he'd like to come in, but he says he doesn't think that would be appropriate. She asks if he wants to go somewhere else, and she gestures towards the city with her body, thinking of a coffee shop. he considers this and says no. So she sits on the stoop next to him silently for a bit. He looks at her and manages to say "I think you are beautiful." and it's so totally sweet and exactly what Christina deserves, and I'm very happy for her.
Meredith continues "but once we face our demons, face our fears..."
Mere comes home to find Lexie sitting sadly and Derek making up a bed on the sofa. She says that Derek brought home a stray, and she smiles beautifully at him, and he smiles back. Aw, that's right, I totally love Derek and Meredith. I forget it sometimes.
meredith continues "and turn to each other for help...."
Alex and Izzy come home. He says he needs sleep b/c he has to be back at work in 6 hours. Izzy sort of tearfully tells Alex that she's a mess, and she knows it's hard for him. He half angrily tells her to stop and that if she can't handle their relationship, that's fine, but she's going to have to break up with him b/c he's not going anywhere. He can handle her mess. Aw all the boys are growing up this week! Well, except George, I guess. He asks if she's joining him in his room. Izzy feels torn and sees Denny standng sadly in the doorway. She whispers to him that she's sorry, but she can't. Denny sadly says it's okay, and he'll be here. Izzy and her crazy eyes goes into Alex's room
as Meredith finishes "night time isn't so scary because we realize we aren't all alone in the dark."

Mere stammers that this is a bad idea b/c Lexie was raised right with hugs and kitten posters, so they wouldn't be a good match. Mere gets a page from Christina about an appendectomy. As she and Die pass Izzy's room, they hear her moaning passionately. Alex walks out of his room at this point b/c he was also paged, and Meredith finds this startling b/c she'd assumed Izzy was with Alex. She nervously calls out to Derek, worried that her boyfriend has decided to sleep with Izzy, but he sleepily pops out of their room. Alex thinks it's hot that Izzy is loudly pleasuring herself and knocks on Izzy's door. Izzy explains she's not feeling well and won't be going to the hspital. I dont know how I feel about zombie sex. I also don't know how I feel about Grey's ripping of a GH storyline of all things. Why not steal from a non sucky show?
Seattle Grace: Bailey meets her residents and realizes they've all been paged about the appendectomy. Solo Surgery is coming up, and they all know that it's usually an appendectomy (which they seem to be calling an appy for short, and which is much easier to type) Christina and Mere show off that they already know stuff about the patient, so they get to do the appy. Dr. Hunt wheels in a Father who fell out of a window and is a big ol' bloody mess. George is on call, so he gets to go with Dr. Hunt. Bailey sends Alex to help with a woman experiencing abdominal pain. Alex says he's here to help any patient with pains, and then he winks at Bailey. She chuckles this crazy growling chuckle at the group of suck ups she's created.
Intern Skills Lab: The interns have given the Floppy Haired Intern an epidural. Why are all of these well educated people completely out of their ever loving minds? Die shows up and is sad she missed the fun. She says that Death is wrong about Lexie. This sets off Lexie's competitive streak, and she suggests that they take out Floppy's appendix. They'll just do it while he's still numb from the epidural, so they won't need anesthesia. Floppy is against it, so the very, very insane Die offers to be the patient. This is obviously going to go well.
Dr. Hunt's Patient: Mark and Callie walk and talk about the patient. Adult male, sleep walking and walked through a 2nd story plate glass window. Ow! Mark comments it would be difficult to wake up all bruised and bleeding and confused. Callie says it sounds like her life "married, betrayed, gay, abandoned", and then she woke up with no idea how she got there. Callie makes the terrible mistake of saying she's clearly hit bottom b/c what could get worse. Aw, poor Callie, I think she's probably about to find out how worse it can be. Sleepwalker has a cute little daughter. He wakes up and is still in the midst of his night terrors, I guess, b/c he flails all around demanding to see his daughter. She tries to call out to him that she's here and okay, but he's too frantic to focus. In the melee, he knocks Callie to the floor where she lands with a bloodied face. Never say things can't get worse on a medical drama, Callie.

Callie cries out in pain as Mark treats her broken nose. She laments that she had a good nose and that now everything hurts b/c of her crappy year. Mark decides to fix the nose with her knocked out so that when she wakes up, she'll be fixed. She asks if he's still her friend who will have sex with her when she wants it. He sweetly yes yes "I mean, as soon as your face heals" she says she hates him, but he just laughs and says she loves him.
Sleep Walker Patient: Flailing patient is is now calm and Dr. Hunt and McDreamy tend to him while his cute daughter watches. His wife died a few years ago, and that's when the night terrors started. His doctor prescribed clonazepam and that stopped the terrors. He assumes he forgot to take his meds tonight and thus had the terrors again. He apologizes for stressing his daughter. She is clearly having to be the mom in this family and says it's fine.
Supply Closet: Mark catches Lexie gathering supplies for her ill advised intern surgery, but Derek catches them both and Mark has to assure him that he's not hitting on Lexie.
Competent Appendectomy OR: Bailey, Mere and Cristina begin the appendectomy. Mere and Christina ask a lot of questions. Baily has such a masterful knowledge of this simple procedure, it's become something she can do without really thinking about it. I wonder if that will come in handy later?
Horribly Ill Conceived Surgery Plot: Die has gotten her epidural. Lexie proves how ill conceived this is by literally reading from a book about how to do this procedure. Lexie draws on Die's tummy where the incision will be. Everyone leans forward, holding their breath in anticipation, but then Lexie stops at the last second, eliciting groans from everyone. Lexie has found the molecule of sanity left in her silly brain and gives a good speech that they should just demand better educations from their residents. But then Die proves that she's clearly insane and grabs the scalpel and CUTS INTO HER OWN DAMN ABDOMEN and purrs "or you can take out my appendix." Wow, that was totally crazy. If Die survives this, I see a psych consult in her future!

Horribly Ill-Conceived Surgery: The interns all gasp happily when Die's appendix is totally there in her abdomen, just like they've read about! But then Lexie wonders if the appendix doesn't look inflamed. The others agree. Nervous Short Intern says that this means this is not a routine procedure if it's inflamed. She wants to get a resident, but Die stops her and says she can't have anyone panic and tells Nervous Intern to leave if she can't handle it. Nervous Intern apparently also has a few molecules that aren't crazy in her short frame, so she leaves.
Sleep Walker's Room: Mark asks Daughter where the dad is, but Daughter says he's having tests. She asks if Callie is okay and apologizes that her dad hit her. Mark says it's not Daughter's fault. She says she feels bad that she couldn't get her dad back to bed b/c sometimes she can talk him to sleep. Daughter is clearly carrying around a big ol' bag of Secret Pain. Mark picks up on this and says that she should really try to get some sleep. She agrees because it's perfectly reasonable, but her demeanor suggests that she's been battling a really stressful existence for a long time.
Alex's Patient: Apparently Mary Cherry diagnosed herself with a staff infection (Will Bailey calls it a pimple) and took antibiotics she got online. Apparently she did this without telling Will b/c he's shocked at this news. Alex says she killed all the bacteria in her body: good and bad. To resolve this, they have to re-introduce good bacteria to her body with a fecal transplant. Bleck, is that really a thing? Mary exclaims "Poop? I need a poop transplant?" The gross way this happens is they put a tube through her nose and into her stomach and then pump poop into her, preferably from someone she shares everyday germs with. Will is very tired of dealing with his hypochondriac wife and won't give her any poop until she admits she just had a pimple and not a staff infection. He leaves in disgust as she poutingly calls after him.
Nurse's Station: Mere and Christina comment that they haven't seen any interns, and they aren't answering pages. Nervous Intern walks by carrying an armload of candy bars, but she insists she doesn't know where any of the interns are. She has a terrible poker face, and Christina calls her on it, and she takes all her candy. Alex shows up to also comment he's lost his interns. It comes up that Die is in the hospital. This makes Christina realize something fishy is up, and she goes off in a huff. She probably thinks they are operating on dead people again. Mere sits with Alex and asks him what's up with Izzy. Alex says he doesn't know and is sick of people not talking to each other. He leaves to go get some crap. Mere reasonably wrinkles her nose at this odd statement. Then her stupid sister appears behind her. Lexie looks like....well...Lexie basically looks like she just did the stupidest thing she or anyone she's ever met has ever done. And Lexie has met Izzy the heart stealer, so that is saying something. Mere is immediately concerned by the look on Lexie's face, and it doesn't get better when Lexie squeaks out 'you got a minute?'
Skill's Lab: Cristina finds Floppy Haired, or Two, as she calls him, sitting on a gurney and doing charts. She barks at him to come with her and finish some charts on her appy patient. Two scrunches up his face like he's a puppy that got caught chewing a shoe and says as bravely as he can muster "NO!" Christina smiles gently and walks to him, with her hands on her hips, and sounding like a sweet, summer breeze while still managing to be a bit terrifying, she asks him "what do you mean no?" Like she's amused that this idiot thinks that he can defy an order from her. He has to come clean and say he can't go b/c he can't walk b/c of the catheter and the epidural. Christina's smile melts away as she realizes that the hospital is full of very insane interns.
Swoosh across Seattle to Grey House: Izzy and Dennyzombie cuddle in the afterglow. Izzy keeps her eyes closed and says she's going to just keep them closed b/c that way the magic of it all and the anything is possible of it all remains because it's terrible when the sun hits you and you realize it was all a dream. Denny kisses the top of her head and says okay.
Horribly Ill Conceived Surgery: Scared Intern (formally known as Cute Black Intern) is operating on Die, but it's very bloody, and he clearly doesn't know what he's doing. All the other interns have fled by this point, and he keeps impatiently looking at the door, willing real doctors to walk in. Finally Lexie rushes in with Mere and Christina close at her heels. Scared Intern breathes heavily and says he thinks she's dying. Thwump!

Mere and Christina, who actually had a good resident that actually taught them stuff their first year, jump into action. Die's bp is very low. Lexie suggests calling a crash cart, but Christina barks that there is no crash cart in day patient surgery in the middle of the night, and this procedure should have been finished already, in a real OR with real surgeons. Mere barks at Scared Intern to page the chief and get Bailey and say there is an emergency and say nothing else "and get that crazy look off your face." But Mere, when a person is crazy enough to do this in the first place, they only got crazy to put on their face.
Mark tells Derek that he feels bad for the little girl who has to deal with her dad's night terrors. Derek, as per usual, only cares about himself and that his girlfriend takes in strays. I find it hard to remember why Derek is likeable or why I want him and Mere to even be a couple sometimes. Mark teases that he never thought about Little Grey that way until Derek brought it up. Derek tells him to unplant that seed of thought.
Alex's Patient: Alex has convinced Mary to tell Will that it was just a pimple, but she only says that she knows Will believes it was a pimple. He shouts "No poo for you!" heh. But Alex tells Will that Mary could lie and tell him what he wants to hear, but she's trying to tell him the truth and how she sees it, and he should quit walking away. Mary emotionally tells her husband that she really does think she has stomach cancer, and she thinks every headache is a brain tumor, and she lays awake at night feeling lumps in her breasts, which makes her heart race. She says there are a thousand things that can kill you, and she doesn't see how he can't see that. Will softens as he realizes that his wife is not being annoying on purpose, that she truely has a problem that she finds terrifying and that can't be willed away with logic. Even if her cancer isn't real, her hypochondria is an actual malady that deserves compassion.
Scared Intern finds Bailey and tells her there's an emergency. She's buried her face in a chart and casually asks what kind of emergency. Scared Intern has finally learned to follow orders, so he does what Mere told him and just says "it's an....emergency" But his face is so terrified that it looks like he'd be clammy to the touch, so Bailey snaps her chart shut and gravely follows him.
Sleep Walker: Derek would like to perform a procedure to help with the night terrors b/c he thinks they are caused by seizures in the frontal lobe. Dad says that it's just that he forgot his meds today. Mark gently prods Daughter, and she slowly starts sobbing as tells her father that he really has the night terrors every night, even though he takes the meds, but she is able to put him back to bed and get him to sleep. Aw, that must be so scary and exhausting for her! Dad reaches out to stroke her hair and asks why she didn't tell him this. Tears drip down her face as she says that the doctors said that stress caused his dreams, and she's his stress. Aw, this kid is breaking my heart. She's choking on her sobs. She says he takes such good care of her during the day, that she figured the least she could do is take care of him at night. Mark leans over to Daughter and gently reassures her that they don't think stress caused the terrors, they think it's the epilepsy. She then lets out this little heartbreaking stammering sob and says "so it wasn't my fault?" Poor Father looks at his sad little girl and feels a world of guilt that she was carrying such a burden.
Grey House: Izzy rolls over, but Denny is gone. She starts calling out his name and hurriedly pulls on a robe. Denny is just standing, dressed, in the doorway. She cries and yells at him that she thought he'd left her again. He softly says he's sorry for dying, but this only makes her yell some more that he can't apologize for dying b/c she killed him by convincing him to cut the LVAD. She cries a bit more and says dead people can't apologize, and she's probably just staying in this room and talking to herself and going crazy. He tries to comfort her, but she tells him to shut up and let her think. They sit on the bed for a moment and he tells her he loves her. She tells him she loves him too.
Ill Conceived Surgery: Bailey is scrubbed in and asks what the hell is going on. I have such a big crush on whoever picks the music for this show. Mere calmly explains they are repairing some stitches the interns did that came out. Christina is frustrated and needs more suction. Bailey somehow manages to become more awesome, even though it's impossible to be more awesome than Perfect and Complete Badass. She calmly and soothingly tells Christina that she doesn't need to see and guides her to use touch to find the part they are trying to repair. Bailey tells Mere to do the stitches. Mere asks which kind she should use, but Bailey is letting her little birds fly out of the nest and says either one works, and Mere has to do whatever she feels comfortable with. Mere is a bit nervous to be making this decision on her own, but once she makes the decision, she moves forward confidently and quickly. Lexie meanwhile stands there and silently sobs. That seems about right.

The Interns all sit in time out in a hallway. Nervous Intern asks if they are going to jail. Scared Intern tells her that she's not b/c she chickened out. George walks up and says he just heard. He says Lexie should have come to him and maybe he could have stopped her. She angrily says this is the only thing she's done for months that's not about getting him to notice her and that she did this, and it wasnt' about him. She leaves in a huff. Nervous Intern tells George that Lexie is in love with him and asks how he missed that. George stares in surprise at this.
Lexie sees the Chief call Mere and Christina into his office.
Grey House: Izzy gets a 911 page and has to go. She asks if Denny is going back to heaven to talk with his dead guy friends about the great last night they had together. He teases that he and his dead guy friends talk about sports. He assures her he's not going anywhere, and she decides to smile and believe this.
Alex's patient: Alex stirs a bowl of poop. Mary apologizes to Will for all her crazy. He takes her hand and says he loves her, crazy and all. He decides it's better for their sex life if he doesn't watch his poop go into his wife's nose. I can't find a single reasonable argument against this very wise choice.
Sleep Walker: Derek and Dr. Hunt and George do the epilepsy surgery, or whatever it's called. Ah, my favorite part of every episode where the doctors all learn a valuable life lesson that magically mirrors the life lesson that their patients are learning. Dr. Hunt blames the dad for making his kid's life so hard. George, however, believes that maybe the dad assumed he had the kind of relationship where his daughter would talk to him if there was a problem. He says if you really love someone, you talk, right. (Just like Lexie would have done if she really loved George) But Dr. Hunt thinks maybe the daughter tried to talk, but words failed her. "Sometimes words fail" (like how his words fail when he tries to talk to Christina). Ah, even if you are a great surgeon, you really do learn something new every day. Or at least on 26 Thursdays out of the year.
Waiting Area: Mark finds Daughter and sits with her to reveal even more layers of his finally developing character. Honestly, I loved Addison almost a Bailey amount of love and never understood why she would cheat on Derek for the bone head that Mark seemed to be. It's nice that we are finally seeing him as more of a person and not just a cartoon. He tells Daughter that he had a hard time sleeping when he was a kid b/c his parents were sucky and never around. He paints a picture of turning on TVs and lights to feel safe, but still not being able to sleep. She stares at her lap, communicating that he knows exactly what her life has been like. He says it's hard to sleep when you don't feel safe. She looks like she could cry, but also like she is simply too tired to exert the energy it would require. He takes her coffee and says she has to sleep now, and he'll be right here. She resists at first, but is clearly so deeply tired, that she can't put up much of a fight and is soon snoozing on his shoulder.
Chief's Office: Chief is angry because he was taken out of sleep. Mere says she can't believe this happened. Chief is not angry at the way they handled this, though. He sees a lot of maturity in them in the way they didn't panic and handled the operation and especially that they asked for help right away and didn't try to hide it (like the time with the LVAD is his implication). He says covering for each other is sometimes a good thing but sometimes it's hubris, and he's glad they know the difference. Christina smiles proudly and is clearly touched by this compliment. Then dumb ol' Lexie has to bound into the room and tearfully say she can't let them get in trouble for what she did. Mere tries to shush Lexie b/c they really aren't in trouble, but Lexie continues and says people tried to stop her and Christina had told them to shut it down. Suddenly Chief is mad at everyone again and asks if Christina and Mere knew about this. Christina says she did know some, but Mere insists she didn't.
Supply Closet: Mere yells at Christina for having known about this intern insanity. Christina insists she just knew they were doing sutures, and she thought she had handled it and shut it down. Mere yells that apparently she didn't b/c Lexie almost lost her job and Die almost died. Christina snaps that Mere doesn't really care about Lexie and Die did this to herself. Mere snaps back that she cares about her job and doing the right thing. Christina is at a vein popping level of anger and rails at Mere that she didn't do the right thing. The right thing would be to have Christina's back with the chief. The right thing would be to not let only Christina take the fall and be taken out of the running for solo surgery. The right thing would be to admit that all the resident's had interns in there and all of the residents didn't properly monitor their interns. If Sadie had died, it would have been both of their faults, and Mere should have said so.
Stairwell: Alex, George, Christina and Mere have all been waiting for Bailey. She's tired and in no mood to coddle anyone. They want to know what she's going to say to the interns, but she says she's raised her babies, and the interns are their babies. Mere asks what they should say to them, but Bailey repeats that she's done giving speeches because she raised her baby's right, and if they don't know what to say, then they don't need to be here. She walks away, still chastising them that they know what to do.
Die's Hospital Room: The Interns all file in behind their Residents. Christina sternly tells Lexie to present the case. Die asks what is going on. I guess she was thankfully unconscious for most of the time the interns were rummaging around inside of her? Lexie explains Die's case. Mere angrily asks Scared Intern to continue. He explains about the complications from the surgerey. Christina prods Lexie to finish. Lexie has a little prepared speech about how mistakes were made that compromised the patient's care and life and reflect badly on the hospital, and it won't happen again. The interns are told they are all on probation until further notice, and Mere admonishes that if they sneeze they are out of here. For some reason they grimace like this is a surprise. I'd be glad to even have a chance to sneeze! George says they've lost the Chief's respect, and that's hard to get back. Alex says that they've lost his respect and can assume they won't be getting it back. Knucklehead Intern whispers that Alex still respects Izzy. Alex pushes Knuckledhead up against the way and says "Izzy was trying to save a life. You almost killed a friend for fun. There is a difference." I can't really argue with that. Izzy, of course, just happens to overhear this exchange.
Bailey checks on Callie and asks how she is. Callie cutely purrs that they've got good drugs here. She asks if she heard right about the interns being crazy. Bailey says she can remember being new to it all and wanting to operate so badly that she'd do anything. Bailey sadly reflects that now she can do her surgeries without even thinking. Like when you drive home and don't really remember how you got there. She doesn't even remember most of them. She says it's so boring that she resents appendectomies. She laughs at herself for resenting an organ. She thinks maybe general surgery isn't for her. Maybe she needs to learn something new, but she's tired. Callie says it's okay to be tired. She says she's tired and she wants something, but she can't name it. Bailey smiles and says that makes two of them.
Meredith starts talking to us again. As she does. She talks about sleep being the easiest thing to do, you just close your eyes. Mark lays Daughter on a bed next to her soundly sleeping father.
Die stirs as Mere comes in and lightly says the surgery was a bad idea. Mere is not amused and says it was a terrible idea. She chastises her as her boss and says she questions if Die should even be a doctor. then she softens and sits on the bed and asks, as her friend, what the hell is going on with her. Die has been surprised at this side of Mere she's never known, and her eyes grow wet with tears and she answers as honestly as she can, "I don't know." But at least she's not denying there is some sort of problem, and that appears to be a relief to her.
Mere continues to tell us that for some sleep seems out of our grasp.
Derek sees Lexie sitting dejected in the hallway and Mark watching her. Mark says that Derek's mom used to see how tired Mark was and make Derek bring him home, so he could sleep. He says that was a good thing. They both watch Lexie looking tired and sad and Mark says "so either you bring her home, or I will." Derek smiles at this as Mark leaves. Aw, Mark is a softy, y'all.
Lovely shots of Seattle at dawn as Meredith says we want it but we don't know how to get it.
Christina is walking home and finds Dr. Hunt waiting for her on the stoop of her building. They stare for a moment, and he manages to say he doesn't know why he came here. I don't know if he means her stoop or Seattle. I don't think he knows either. She asks if he'd like to come in, but he says he doesn't think that would be appropriate. She asks if he wants to go somewhere else, and she gestures towards the city with her body, thinking of a coffee shop. he considers this and says no. So she sits on the stoop next to him silently for a bit. He looks at her and manages to say "I think you are beautiful." and it's so totally sweet and exactly what Christina deserves, and I'm very happy for her.
Meredith continues "but once we face our demons, face our fears..."
Mere comes home to find Lexie sitting sadly and Derek making up a bed on the sofa. She says that Derek brought home a stray, and she smiles beautifully at him, and he smiles back. Aw, that's right, I totally love Derek and Meredith. I forget it sometimes.
meredith continues "and turn to each other for help...."
Alex and Izzy come home. He says he needs sleep b/c he has to be back at work in 6 hours. Izzy sort of tearfully tells Alex that she's a mess, and she knows it's hard for him. He half angrily tells her to stop and that if she can't handle their relationship, that's fine, but she's going to have to break up with him b/c he's not going anywhere. He can handle her mess. Aw all the boys are growing up this week! Well, except George, I guess. He asks if she's joining him in his room. Izzy feels torn and sees Denny standng sadly in the doorway. She whispers to him that she's sorry, but she can't. Denny sadly says it's okay, and he'll be here. Izzy and her crazy eyes goes into Alex's room
as Meredith finishes "night time isn't so scary because we realize we aren't all alone in the dark."

GH Recap 11/21: Grrrrllllllll power
So I know it's a bit silly that Liz and Sam would be in a minivan together. I know it's a bit silly that Liz is willing to trust Sam with her kids. But to me, this is easily my favorite twist in this silly show. It's frankly one of the few things that has my interest!
I am an unabashed Team Sam kind of girl. Now that Liez has quit liezing all the time, I can enjoy her again as well as simple Liz. (she used to be my favorite, and I never faulted her for hooking up with Jason) I find their uneasy truce to be very realistic if you pretend the mob stuff isn't there, and I also find it very maternal. I love that they totally hate each other but also are willing, for the sake of the kids and for the sake of their own happiness, and a bit b/c of their righteous guilt, to accept each other as a necessary evil and a sometimes surprising-blessing. I love that Sam reassures Liz about Jason, and I love that Liz needs that reassurance and accepts it like a champ.
I hate the GH mob. HATE IT. Don't see the need for it. This show has always been about mob and adventure and guns. But there used to be a time when the mobsters were the bad guys (and mobsters, fictional or otherwise are BAD GUYS. Always. end of story. Don't talk to me about abs b/c Jason had hotass abs when he was a doctor. and doctors? are hot. {hottest guy I ever dated was also the most boring, but he was so handsome, big blue eyes, had a motorcycle. He was a doctor. I GET the Jason thing, is what I'm saying.}
I think Liz is a dolt for wanting to be with Jason "come what may", but I dig it that she is willing to scoop her kids up with Sam into a mini-van and go to an undisclosed location. I dig that Sam has found her adventure jones, but she's willing to use that only to protect Liz and her kids. Honestly, I know most people hate one or the other, but I am in hog's heaven enjoying the heck out of them working together.

Well, except the four guards that I'm sure Jason and Lucky insisted on! Other than them right? Russian guy peers at them through binoculars. Even though he's really close enough to see them clearly without them.

Ric hotly pours Sonny a glass of brandy and has it ready to hand to him as Sonny is saying if anyone goes behind his back, the deal is off. Ric gives Sonny his drink and hotly assures him he won't be a problem. Sonny looks so ridiculous in this scene. He seems to want to believe so badly that he's in charge, that he's convinced himself, but just a glace at Ric and Wheels communicates that clearly they are running the show.

She says of course she's going to sleep with him, since they are more compatible in bed than out of it.
Z'House: Sonny says he's going to provide guidance and leadership so the Z's can compete. Wheels says he needs them to stay alive. Sonny says they both win. Wheels says it's too bad he has to come and marry Claud, all because the man Sonny put in charge wouldn't let him back in. Sonny says he can handle Jason.

Q Mansion: woof, is this a boring episode! Tracy and Luke, such good actors, but they have had this conversation every time he comes back to town. It's pointless b/c we know he'll leave again. I would recommend renting "Fool for Love" instead of watching this. It's a Sam Shepard play made into a film.
Jason's Penthouse: Olivia manages to not answer Jason's question. Ric hotly shows up that if he wants to stop SOnny from teaming up with the Z's, he better do it fast. Ric is hotly amused and bored by all of this.
Jake's: Johnny gets his drink on with Coleman. Looloo shows up and offers wild and crazy hot sex. Johnny awesomely didn't hear a word she just said. He says he's thinking about his sister being about to marry Sonny.
Corinthaus: Claud struts in saying she heard the good news. Sonny sits in a chair and says she moves fast. Claud says that he hasn't asked her yet. Sonny nods oddly. Well, I guess he does everything oddly, and this is a B- in weird.

I'm starting to think this episode will never end.
Wyndermere: Carly continues to whine to Nik that if Nik fights Jax, he'll just be more obnoxious. Nik asks what the other solution is. Jax comes back in and Nik rudely says "didn't you leave?" and honestly. Jactslikeanidiot is looking so petty and silly. Jax says the surveyors are coming tomorrow and wants to know if Nik will work with them. Well, what does that even mean? the surveyors will simply do their job and don't need to bother Nik in the slightest. Are their hounds that have to be called off? I assume there are hounds, right? Carly tells Nik he should sell her back her shares and then Jax will quit being such a doof.
Jake's: gah. gack. glarb. Loo thinks Johnny has to quit feeling guilty for being a Zacharra. Oh, Loo, rose by any other name would smell as trite.
Corinthaus: Sonny and Claud talk about getting married. Sonny asks all bored "Claudia, would you marry me?" as if he's asking for sports scores. Or really, more like he's watching a game and she's standing in front of the TV wanting to ask about laundry, and he angrily says "Claud, you make a better door than a window." Olivia eaveslurks from the terrace.
Hidden cabin: Liz calls Jason from the effing working phone in the hidden cabin. Who on earth has been paying all the utilities for this place all this time. I hope they get HBO b/c it would be a shame to miss the True Blood finale. Liz says everything is fine, and he doesn't need to worry. Liz delights about roasting marshmallows. Sam goes to get wood for the fire, but her sensitive nipples can tell that the Russians are there. She tries to casually rush into the house and locks the door. She says the russians are there. Liz jumps up to use the phone, and Sam says they must have cut the line. AND SO NEITHER OF YOU DOLTS BROUGHT A CELL PHONE? Sam says there's no other hidden cabins for miles, so they are on their own.
The end.
I am an unabashed Team Sam kind of girl. Now that Liez has quit liezing all the time, I can enjoy her again as well as simple Liz. (she used to be my favorite, and I never faulted her for hooking up with Jason) I find their uneasy truce to be very realistic if you pretend the mob stuff isn't there, and I also find it very maternal. I love that they totally hate each other but also are willing, for the sake of the kids and for the sake of their own happiness, and a bit b/c of their righteous guilt, to accept each other as a necessary evil and a sometimes surprising-blessing. I love that Sam reassures Liz about Jason, and I love that Liz needs that reassurance and accepts it like a champ.
I hate the GH mob. HATE IT. Don't see the need for it. This show has always been about mob and adventure and guns. But there used to be a time when the mobsters were the bad guys (and mobsters, fictional or otherwise are BAD GUYS. Always. end of story. Don't talk to me about abs b/c Jason had hotass abs when he was a doctor. and doctors? are hot. {hottest guy I ever dated was also the most boring, but he was so handsome, big blue eyes, had a motorcycle. He was a doctor. I GET the Jason thing, is what I'm saying.}
I think Liz is a dolt for wanting to be with Jason "come what may", but I dig it that she is willing to scoop her kids up with Sam into a mini-van and go to an undisclosed location. I dig that Sam has found her adventure jones, but she's willing to use that only to protect Liz and her kids. Honestly, I know most people hate one or the other, but I am in hog's heaven enjoying the heck out of them working together.
Chez Zee: Claud says she's going to miss their apartment. She's going to Sonny's house, she supposes and will be playing wifey soon.
Z House: Sonny reaffirms his agreement to marry Claud. Wheels says Sonny is getting the organization and "my precious pearl, Claudia"
Jason's Penthouse: Jason tells Spinelli that Liz and Sam were brought to one of Lucky's stupid safehouses b/c Lucky didn't want them under Jason's protection.
Minivan: Sam makes small talk and says she knows the boys are good campers. Liz smiles gamely at this, and Cameron squeals cutely. But suddenly we hear a boom and Liz screams and swerves.

Wyndermere: Jax comes in to tell Nik that his building will start soon. I can't even begin to say how unrealistic all this real estate babble is. Jax is going to build a causeway to the mainland. Nik throws Jax out. Carly shows up in a ridiculous blue shirt and tells Jax this has to stop. I hope she means the Strings of Stupidity.
Jason's Penthouse: Jason tells Spinelli they can't make any mistakes. Spinelli nervously prances about. Jason tells him the plan, but Spinelli blurts out that he made a mistake and held the Russians at gunpoint. Jason stares incredulously at this idiotic piece of news.
Minivan: Liz thanks Sam for changing the tire. Sam says it was a group effort. Liz says she was unsure about going away with Sam at first, but she's glad she's here. They compare notes that they are both feeling a bit paranoid and scared, but Liz peps up and says they'll be at the cabin in 30 minutes and no one will find them. Well, except the four guards that I'm sure Jason and Lucky insisted on! Other than them right? Russian guy peers at them through binoculars. Even though he's really close enough to see them clearly without them.
Chez Zee: Johnny angrily yells that marriage is supposed to be about love and trust and commitment. Claud laughs that he's totally adorable and says this plan is business and it's good. John doesn't like selling out his sister.
ZHouse: Sonny stutters that he's in charge and everyone reports to him. Wheels soothingly says 'of course...of course' He does ask to be kept in the loop. Ric hotly pours Sonny a glass of brandy and has it ready to hand to him as Sonny is saying if anyone goes behind his back, the deal is off. Ric gives Sonny his drink and hotly assures him he won't be a problem. Sonny looks so ridiculous in this scene. He seems to want to believe so badly that he's in charge, that he's convinced himself, but just a glace at Ric and Wheels communicates that clearly they are running the show.

Quartermaine Mansion: Tracy has a stiff drink. Looloo, Monica and Edward talk about Luke like he's still a part of the family. Tracy finally yells that everyone needs to shut up b/c Luke doesn't live here. Luke appears at the terrace door and says "Mrs. Spencer, you do not mean that."
Jason's Apartment: Jason sternly asks Spinelli to spill. Spinelli explains that he cornered two slavic scoundrels. Jason asks exactly what was Spinelli thinking and what was he trying to prove. Spinelli sadly says he was trying to avenge Maxie. Jason says Spinelli is too smart to use a gun. "If you want to be a hero to Maxie, you stay the person you are. That's who she needs you to be." Knock at the door. It's Olivia, lounging in the door frame. she says they need to talk about Sonny.
Chez Zee: Johnny points out that Claud already once spilled a secret to Jason. She says she had hypothermia. Johnny oddly says she could get hypothermia again. She'll be with Sonny all the time, and she's sure to slip. Claud assures him again that it's a marriage of convenience. He asks if this means they aren't going to sleep together. She says of course she's going to sleep with him, since they are more compatible in bed than out of it.
Z'House: Sonny says he's going to provide guidance and leadership so the Z's can compete. Wheels says he needs them to stay alive. Sonny says they both win. Wheels says it's too bad he has to come and marry Claud, all because the man Sonny put in charge wouldn't let him back in. Sonny says he can handle Jason. (he can't) and Wheels says he's counting on it (don't count to high, Wheelsy!)

Wyndermere: Carly yells at Jax for planning on building a resort on Spoon Island. Nik says his attorneys can keep this held up in court for years, and he still owns 25% of metrocourt. Carly says this is just a pathetic little contest with the two of them. Jax says Carly blah blah blah who cares.
Jason's Penthouse: Spinelli leaves to do Jason's bidding. Olivia says when she sees a train wreck coming, she has to speak up. I don't get that metaphor. She says he needs to let Sonny back in the mob.
Z'House: Johnny and Claud visit their dad. Wheels says Sonny has agreed to marry Claud. John says there won't be a wedding. Wheels tells Claud to go to Sonny tonight and seal the deal. John tells her not to, but she says it's her choice, and she agrees. Wheels says that Claud is looking out for his best interest. John says Wheels wants to sell Claud off to Sonny so that the organization is stronger when he's ready to take over, but Johnny doesn't want it. Claud tries to hide the fact that she wants it a lot.
Corinthaus: Milo and Max bicker a bit. Sonny tells Max that he's at the end of his rope. he tells him he's taking over Z'Organization, and to do that he has to marry Claudia. Because it's 1532. and Claudia is Portugal. I really am having a hard time following any of this. I feel like they should be wearing powdered wigs.

Q Mansion: Alice gives Luke a massage and offers Luke some more bourbon. Edward angrily tells Tracy to get rid of Luke. Tracy says she tried. Looloo says Tracy is entitled to her feelings. Tracy thanks her and says she'll always be her step daughter and is welcome to live here. Monica says Tracy can't issue invitations to her house. Why do all these people hang out in this one room all the time since they clearly despise each other? Luke asks Alice to get rid of everyone so he can talk to Tracy alone. Edward tells Tracy to stick to her resolve. Tracy tells Luke she is immune to his romantic flim flam. Luke says he's not joking, and he's not giving her up.
Z'House: wheels says Johnny is naive. The deal has to happen whether he likes it or not. Claud says it's just business. You don't have to like the guy who buys stock in your company, you just have to take his money. Johnny again says this is a bad idea and thinks Claud believes it will be more than business. He tells Claud to be careful what she wishes for. Wheels asks if John ir right about Sonny. She drolly asks if she looks like a woman with any romantic illusions. She puts a rose in his pocket and leaves. But he hates her and thus hates the rose, so he crushes it.
Corinthaus: Max and Sonny discuss The new Danger. Sonny now thinks maybe one of the Z's shot Kate. Max asks why they would. Sonny says this is why he's marrying Claud, so he can learn about the organization and discover who shot Kate. Max asks what good this will do. Sonny busts out a Shatnerian line delivery and says "I will then.......... be in a ....pos....ition.....to do something.....about it." It even comes with a weird, slow head turn.
Jason's Penthouse: Olivia warns that Sonny will become as bad as the Z's if he joins them. She begs Jason not to let that happen and go get Sonny back. Jason asks why it's so important to her.
Hidden Cabin: The gang arrives. cameron cutely squeals and hops around. Sam goes to get supplies from the car, and Liz tells Cameron that he's so important to her, and she'll do anything to protect them. I don't think the word "anything" means what Liz thinks it means. She says she loves him, and Cameron cutes "I wove you too" back. Aw. Sam gets stuff from the car as a Russian lurks nearby. and honestly. What did he do? Park next to her? and she just figured that Liz brought an extra car and forgot to tell her? dumb!

Russian Shadow Warehouse: Gunfighting continues. Jason drops one of his guns, and it rolls near Sam. She picks it up and shoots someone over Jason's shoulder. Or maybe she's just a crappy aim. It's hard to tell. Jason exclaims "what are you doing?" then he grabs her wrist and drags her out the door. But then 25 more Russians are waiting b/c they obviously would have heard the gunfight, so they kill them both. Or not really. There are never more bad guys than Jason can handle, of course.
Docks: Johnny appears out of nowhere and saves Spinelli. He says it's a fair fight now. Stoli is sad.
Corinthaus: for some bizarre reason, Kate doesn't just flat out say "no, dickhead, you and Olivia have a son, his name is Dante." Instead she listens to Sonny's beard lament that he and Carly did everything they could to protect their kids, or some such lie that these people tell themselves regularly. Sonny says he'd love to see his kids, but he also thinks they are better off without him. Kate idiotically jumps in and says that the pain in his eyes is b/c he's not with his kids, and he should be with his kids. Yes, Kate, Sonny has pain about his kids. Bad parents who endanger their children's lives usually do. It's the wonderful way that kids can be protected from bad parents. The parents don't like feeling bad, so they release their kids to go and have nice, safe lives. Sonny says he sees his kids as much as their mothers will allow. Again, Kate can't finish a thought and only says she's not talking about Carly or Alexis.
Olivia busts in at this point. Sonny asks if she's serious. She asks "do I look serious?" and yes, she indeed looks very serious. Sonny wonders why she left the hospital to come all the way over here. Sonny is really bad at math, y'all. Well, he's bad at just about everything, but logic and math are even moreso not his thing.

Haunted Star: I am torn. On the one hand, Luke is entertaining in this scene. On the other hand: Looloo. Loo says she loves Johnny. Luke says he knows, and Johnny is his partner, and as long as he doesn't hurt Looloo, he's cool with that. "If he hurts you, he dies." Looloo giggles that she knows this is true. har dee har har, the heart warming moments of death threats. They really are the ties that bind. Looloo thankfully leaves. Tracy pretends she didn't hear any of that and briskly enters laughing. She asks if it's safe to say they will be getting back to normal.
Corinthaus: Kate and Olivia snipe at each other. Olivia has no right to her personal business. Kate snots that rights are something, but I have to tune her out b/c of how dreadful she has become. Sonny is all "hello, right here!" Olivia says that Kate is trying to have it her way, like always. She says that no matter what Kate says, Olivia will still have her rights, and that Sonny will still be a gangster. Kate says she has a lot to think about. Olivia says she needs to talk to Sonny. Kate bitterly laughs at this for no good reason and says she'll be at home. Kate leaves, and Sonny asks if he should have a clue what that was about. Olivia says it was Kate making a fool of herself over him.
GH: Looloo walks past the lounge and notices Maxie hiding behind the sofa. A nurse passes, and Maxie yells at looloo for not answering her message and says she needs a ride. Looloo deadpans "to Shadybrook?" heh. Maxie says that Spinelli cut her out of his life after she was jumped, and she's afraid he's going to do something dangerous. They run off to get themselves killed or maimed.
Docks: Johnny gets Stoli and Belvedere to leave their guns and go around a corner. oh, good, the Russians went around a corner, and presumably cease to exist. Johnny and Spinelli toss the Russian guns into the water and hang out like there aren't two dangerous Russians just around the corner. Is that the corner that goes directly to Gitmo, or something? Why are they not concerned that there are two bad guys still right there? Spinelli admits he couldn't fire the gun. He says it like it's a bad thing.

Wyndermere: Alfred dodderingly reminds us all that Nik is facing two really stupid storylines at the same time: 1. He's being deported. 2. Something about Indians own the island, but they sold it to Jax, and somehow Nik can't just pull out his own lease of the island and point out that since he's not on month to month and no proper notice was given by him or the Indians, then even if the Indians sell the island, his lease will still convey with the sale. But all of that pales in comparison to the fact that Gidget comes running in and flops herself on the sofa and laments she has to leave town.
Haunted Star: Luke says he's happy to pick up where they left off and continue their marriage. Tracy bitterly chuckles "as if nothing happened?" Luke says nothing really did. She asks if that's true. Ric hotly strolls in. He says that Luke's money laundering past makes Wheels unsure about letting the HS re-open. Luke angrily says that Wheels doesn't get a vote. and seriously, unless there is a board of directors of this casino, why does Wheels get to have more than a vocal opinion?
Jason's Penthouse: Maxie and Looloo rush around jason's unlocked apartment and are killed by all the Russians that would have obviously planted bombs all over this completely unguarded mobster's den. Oh, wait, nope. No bad guys here at all, I guess. They can't find Spinelli. Spinelli and Johnny show up. Maxie embraces and thens smacks Spinelli for making her scared.
Liz's Mansion: Liz and Lucky meet. he says Sam called him and asked him to meet her here, and he heard gunfire. Liz is all indignant "what, so she's coming here, with the kids upstairs." Yes, Liz, just like a few days ago, you were going to bring Jason here...with the kids upstairs. Jason and Sam show up. Liz is all "what? a mob war?" As if she thought that Kate just got shot b/c it was shrapnel from a carnival? As if she thought Jason's burned down and Kelly's burned down because they got stuck in a California wildfire that accidentally got on a bus? As if she thought Sonny was going around threatening a mob war and that nothing would come of that? Is Liz really this stupid? Lucky gets off his phone. I really would like to meet the PCPD dispatch person some day. That dude is like Oz in his all knowingness. Lucky angrily asks Jason if he knows anything about a Russian Warehouse that has shadows coming from every conceivable angle at all times, as if there are 3 sons revolving around it.
Corinthaus: Olivia and Sonny continue to foreplayfight. She says he needs to let Kate go for Kate's own good. or something. You can see also: every other conversation these two have had for the past month.

GH: ( I forgot to mention that Stolichnaya has entered GH and is rummaging around and clearly up to no good.)
Haunted Star: Tracy asks why Ric is still here. Ric hotly says he's just giving Luke a chance to re-think his position. Tracy says that any threats on Luke's life will be met with a lawsuit and will have the IRS crawling all over the Z's like lice. Luke says his wife makes a good point. Ric hotly says "The Russians are coming." Tracy repeats in a 'the hell?' tone "The Russians are coming?" heh. Luke says the Russians are here. Ric hotly leaves. Luke says he's glad they are still a formidable team. Tracy is way to bitter for sweet talk, though, and she says it's only b/c he doesn't have Laura around.
Jason's Penthouse: Maxie is shocked that Spinelli would think he could kill someone. Spinelli sadly says "yes, The Jackal is a wimp, everyone agrees." Looloo angrily tells him that he's the only one who thinks that. She totally understands that of course he couldn't kill anyone b/c only horrible people kill people. "yes, we are all friends with Jason, but it's IN SPITE of what he does, not because of it" maxie concurs. Johnny tries to not be all "ahem, I kill people" about it.
GH: In full view of an obviously nefarious dude, Piph yells at Kate b/c Maxie and Olivia both checked out of the hospital AMA. "Are all the women around you just fools asking for trouble?" I dunno, Piph, are all the nurses around you completely unethical and discuss patient's business loudly in front of strangers? Wheels rolls up and makes creepy comments at Kate. She says she's a pig and she'd rather die. (than be with him, I think) He tells her to be careful what she wishes for. She gets in the elevator and is clearly not at ease.
Corinthaus: Sonny's beard mumbles that he fell in love with her cousin, and his son was shot. he hopes she never has to know the pain to know something she did ruined her son's life. Olivia apologizes for not being more genteel about calling him a horrible murdering mobster. Sonny talks about when they were children and in love, but she dumped him b/c he was becoming a mobster. He didn't believe she was really dumping him. then he oddly stutters for 10 minutes, and she says "in front Louie's Pizzeria" Um, we get it. You lived in Bensonhurst. Of course you broke up in front of a pizzeria. He says he could never smell pizza the same. that may be the saddest thing I've ever heard. no wonder he's such a miserable cuss. I've had my heart broken, but I'd never let it ruin PIZZA for me. Loser. She asks if he went after Kate immediately just to get back at her.
and aren't we talking about 15 year olds? I suppose there are marked exceptions, but don't most people never think about the person they loved at 15 again...say once they are 17 or older?

Corinthaus: SOnny admits he was sort of sticking it to Olivia, but he also really fell for Kate. She was unlike anyone he ever met. And again, they are basically talking about people the age of those high school musical kids. I'm sure it really, really, super a lot matters that everyone goes to prom with the right high school musical kid, but does anyone really hope that any of them remain happily ever after for the next 40 years? breaking into song at the drop of a hat when they get their first job? doing choreographed dances when they apply for AARP?
Liz's Mansion: Jason and Lucky bicker. Lucky doesn't want them to go to a safe house that can be traced to Sonny or Jason. Well, the definition of a SAFE HOUSE would be that it CAN'T be traced to Jason or Sonny. Otherwise? It's just a House. Luckily, Lucky totally knows "about a cabin in the woods that can't be traced to anyone." Hi, writers, thanks for reading the message boards! For some reason Jason takes Lucky at his word. Liz stands there fighting back tears. Aw, poor, Liz, if only she'd had some way of knowing that her boyfriend was a dangerous mobster before today!
Wyndermere: I don't know. Something about Aunt Raylene has heart problems, and something about Aunt Raylene does things with horse studs, and she's been asked to ride a horse in an effing parade of some idiotic sort. She tells us the horse's name, and I think it's supposed to be a joke, but she's so annoyingly fake cry-whining that I can't help but to fantasize that the horse's name is "Killsnadine" she promises to come back and marry him and make him a citizen as soon as this is over. For some reason Nik finds all this endearing instead of hateable. He tells her to go and have fun.
Haunted Star: Luke insists his feelings are real. Tracy asks if Laura had asked him to go to paris, would she have gone. Luke says "yes, but my time with her his over" He wants to be with Tracy now. Tracy angrily asks why she's not happy about being a second choice. "I'm Done! This marriage is over!"

Haunted Star: Luke says they can work this out. Tracy thinks a second and then says 'nope, not this time.' She says if he'd broken her heart, it could heal. "but you stomped on my pride without a second thought, and I'll never give you a chance to do that again." Luke says he loves her. She chuckles and says he does, until Laura blows back into town. Luke angrily says she doesn't want to do this and doens't want to lose them. "I am the best time you ever sad." Tracy fairly says he's right, and that's what makes this so sad. he says "I won't give up on you, Wife." But she asks him to never call her that again and leaves.
Jason's Penthouse: Jason rushes in and says Liz and the boys are going out of town, so he has nothing to slow him in running the Russians into the ground.
Liz's Mansion: Sam asks Liz not to be mad at Jason for their having to leave. Liz says she's not. Lucky is clearly having an affair with the dispatch person, because he has to leave again. he tells them not to do anything dumb like leave the cabin. Sam says if this is advice for her, she promises not to leave. No matter how itchy that adrenaline itch gets, I guess. But of course there is a Russian hanging out in the bushes. Though, where would his car be? Wouldn't Lucky or Sam or Liz, or heck, even CAMERON notice a car pulls out of their driveway at the same time they do? And really? They don't have a driver that can avoid being followed to drive them? and really? they aren't bringing any guards? WORST MOBSTERS EVER.
corinthaus: Sonny shows up to agree ot marry Claud. Ric hotly looks bummed by this. Sonny makes a Nick Tortelli face, but then he makes this weird grimace/smile, and then goes back to staring. That was nightmarish. But not for any of the reasons Maurice thinks it was.

Sonny wonders why she left the hospital to come all the way over here. Sonny is really bad at math, y'all. Well, he's bad at just about everything, but logic and math are even moreso not his thing.
Commercials.
Haunted Star: I am torn. On the one hand, Luke is entertaining in this scene. On the other hand: Looloo. Loo says she loves Johnny. Luke says he knows, and Johnny is his partner, and as long as he doesn't hurt Looloo, he's cool with that. "If he hurts you, he dies." Looloo giggles that she knows this is true. har dee har har, the heart warming moments of death threats. They really are the ties that bind. Looloo thankfully leaves. Tracy pretends she didn't hear any of that and briskly enters laughing. She asks if it's safe to say they will be getting back to normal.
Corinthaus: Kate and Olivia snipe at each other. Olivia has no right to her personal business. Kate snots that rights are something, but I have to tune her out b/c of how dreadful she has become. Sonny is all "hello, right here!" Olivia says that Kate is trying to have it her way, like always. She says that no matter what Kate says, Olivia will still have her rights, and that Sonny will still be a gangster. Kate says she has a lot to think about. Olivia says she needs to talk to Sonny. Kate bitterly laughs at this for no good reason and says she'll be at home. Kate leaves, and Sonny asks if he should have a clue what that was about. Olivia says it was Kate making a fool of herself over him.
GH: Looloo walks past the lounge and notices Maxie hiding behind the sofa. A nurse passes, and Maxie yells at looloo for not answering her message and says she needs a ride. Looloo deadpans "to Shadybrook?" heh. Maxie says that Spinelli cut her out of his life after she was jumped, and she's afraid he's going to do something dangerous. They run off to get themselves killed or maimed.
Docks: Johnny gets Stoli and Belvedere to leave their guns and go around a corner. oh, good, the Russians went around a corner, and presumably cease to exist. Johnny and Spinelli toss the Russian guns into the water and hang out like there aren't two dangerous Russians just around the corner. Is that the corner that goes directly to Gitmo, or something? Why are they not concerned that there are two bad guys still right there? Spinelli admits he couldn't fire the gun. He says it like it's a bad thing.
Commercials
Wyndermere: Alfred dodderingly reminds us all that Nik is facing two really stupid storylines at the same time: 1. He's being deported. 2. Something about Indians own the island, but they sold it to Jax, and somehow Nik can't just pull out his own lease of the island and point out that since he's not on month to month and no proper notice was given by him or the Indians, then even if the Indians sell the island, his lease will still convey with the sale. But all of that pales in comparison to the fact that Gidget comes running in and flops herself on the sofa and laments she has to leave town.
Haunted Star: Luke says he's happy to pick up where they left off and continue their marriage. Tracy bitterly chuckles "as if nothing happened?" Luke says nothing really did. She asks if that's true. Ric hotly strolls in. He says that Luke's money laundering past makes Wheels unsure about letting the HS re-open. Luke angrily says that Wheels doesn't get a vote. and seriously, unless there is a board of directors of this casino, why does Wheels get to have more than a vocal opinion?
Jason's Penthouse: Maxie and Looloo rush around jason's unlocked apartment and are killed by all the Russians that would have obviously planted bombs all over this completely unguarded mobster's den. Oh, wait, nope. No bad guys here at all, I guess. They can't find Spinelli. Spinelli and Johnny show up. Maxie embraces and thens smacks Spinelli for making her scared.
Liz's Mansion: Liz and Lucky meet. he says Sam called him and asked him to meet her here, and he heard gunfire. Liz is all indignant "what, so she's coming here, with the kids upstairs." Yes, Liz, just like a few days ago, you were going to bring Jason here...with the kids upstairs. Jason and Sam show up. Liz is all "what? a mob war?" As if she thought that Kate just got shot b/c it was shrapnel from a carnival? As if she thought Jason's burned down and Kelly's burned down because they got stuck in a California wildfire that accidentally got on a bus? As if she thought Sonny was going around threatening a mob war and that nothing would come of that? Is Liz really this stupid? Lucky gets off his phone. I really would like to meet the PCPD dispatch person some day. That dude is like Oz in his all knowingness. Lucky angrily asks Jason if he knows anything about a Russian Warehouse that has shadows coming from every conceivable angle at all times, as if there are 3 sons revolving around it.
Corinthaus: Olivia and Sonny continue to foreplayfight. She says he needs to let Kate go for Kate's own good. or something. You can see also: every other conversation these two have had for the past month.
Commercials
GH: ( I forgot to mention that Stolichnaya has entered GH and is rummaging around and clearly up to no good.)
Haunted Star: Tracy asks why Ric is still here. Ric hotly says he's just giving Luke a chance to re-think his position. Tracy says that any threats on Luke's life will be met with a lawsuit and will have the IRS crawling all over the Z's like lice. Luke says his wife makes a good point. Ric hotly says "The Russians are coming." Tracy repeats in a 'the hell?' tone "The Russians are coming?" heh. Luke says the Russians are here. Ric hotly leaves. Luke says he's glad they are still a formidable team. Tracy is way to bitter for sweet talk, though, and she says it's only b/c he doesn't have Laura around.
Jason's Penthouse: Maxie is shocked that Spinelli would think he could kill someone. Spinelli sadly says "yes, The Jackal is a wimp, everyone agrees." Looloo angrily tells him that he's the only one who thinks that. She totally understands that of course he couldn't kill anyone b/c only horrible people kill people. "yes, we are all friends with Jason, but it's IN SPITE of what he does, not because of it" maxie concurs. Johnny tries to not be all "ahem, I kill people" about it.
GH: In full view of an obviously nefarious dude, Piph yells at Kate b/c Maxie and Olivia both checked out of the hospital AMA. "Are all the women around you just fools asking for trouble?" I dunno, Piph, are all the nurses around you completely unethical and discuss patient's business loudly in front of strangers? Wheels rolls up and makes creepy comments at Kate. She says she's a pig and she'd rather die. (than be with him, I think) He tells her to be careful what she wishes for. She gets in the elevator and is clearly not at ease.
Corinthaus: Sonny's beard mumbles that he fell in love with her cousin, and his son was shot. he hopes she never has to know the pain to know something she did ruined her son's life. Olivia apologizes for not being more genteel about calling him a horrible murdering mobster. Sonny talks about when they were children and in love, but she dumped him b/c he was becoming a mobster. He didn't believe she was really dumping him. then he oddly stutters for 10 minutes, and she says "in front Louie's Pizzeria" Um, we get it. You lived in Bensonhurst. Of course you broke up in front of a pizzeria. He says he could never smell pizza the same. that may be the saddest thing I've ever heard. no wonder he's such a miserable cuss. I've had my heart broken, but I'd never let it ruin PIZZA for me. Loser. She asks if he went after Kate immediately just to get back at her.
and aren't we talking about 15 year olds? I suppose there are marked exceptions, but don't most people never think about the person they loved at 15 again...say once they are 17 or older?
Commercials
Corinthaus: SOnny admits he was sort of sticking it to Olivia, but he also really fell for Kate. She was unlike anyone he ever met. And again, they are basically talking about people the age of those high school musical kids. I'm sure it really, really, super a lot matters that everyone goes to prom with the right high school musical kid, but does anyone really hope that any of them remain happily ever after for the next 40 years? breaking into song at the drop of a hat when they get their first job? doing choreographed dances when they apply for AARP?
Liz's Mansion: Jason and Lucky bicker. Lucky doesn't want them to go to a safe house that can be traced to Sonny or Jason. Well, the definition of a SAFE HOUSE would be that it CAN'T be traced to Jason or Sonny. Otherwise? It's just a House. Luckily, Lucky totally knows "about a cabin in the woods that can't be traced to anyone." Hi, writers, thanks for reading the message boards! For some reason Jason takes Lucky at his word. Liz stands there fighting back tears. Aw, poor, Liz, if only she'd had some way of knowing that her boyfriend was a dangerous mobster before today!
Wyndermere: I don't know. Something about Aunt Raylene has heart problems, and something about Aunt Raylene does things with horse studs, and she's been asked to ride a horse in an effing parade of some idiotic sort. She tells us the horse's name, and I think it's supposed to be a joke, but she's so annoyingly fake cry-whining that I can't help but to fantasize that the horse's name is "Killsnadine" she promises to come back and marry him and make him a citizen as soon as this is over. For some reason Nik finds all this endearing instead of hateable. He tells her to go and have fun.
Haunted Star: Luke insists his feelings are real. Tracy asks if Laura had asked him to go to paris, would she have gone. Luke says "yes, but my time with her his over" He wants to be with Tracy now. Tracy angrily asks why she's not happy about being a second choice. "I'm Done! This marriage is over!"
Commercials
Haunted Star: Luke says they can work this out. Tracy thinks a second and then says 'nope, not this time.' She says if he'd broken her heart, it could heal. "but you stomped on my pride without a second thought, and I'll never give you a chance to do that again." Luke says he loves her. She chuckles and says he does, until Laura blows back into town. Luke angrily says she doesn't want to do this and doens't want to lose them. "I am the best time you ever sad." Tracy fairly says he's right, and that's what makes this so sad. he says "I won't give up on you, Wife." But she asks him to never call her that again and leaves.
Jason's Penthouse: Jason rushes in and says Liz and the boys are going out of town, so he has nothing to slow him in running the Russians into the ground.
Liz's Mansion: Sam asks Liz not to be mad at Jason for their having to leave. Liz says she's not. Lucky is clearly having an affair with the dispatch person, because he has to leave again. he tells them not to do anything dumb like leave the cabin. Sam says if this is advice for her, she promises not to leave. No matter how itchy that adrenaline itch gets, I guess. But of course there is a Russian hanging out in the bushes. Though, where would his car be? Wouldn't Lucky or Sam or Liz, or heck, even CAMERON notice a car pulls out of their driveway at the same time they do? And really? They don't have a driver that can avoid being followed to drive them? and really? they aren't bringing any guards? WORST MOBSTERS EVER.
corinthaus: Sonny shows up to agree ot marry Claud. Ric hotly looks bummed by this. Sonny makes a Nick Tortelli face, but then he makes this weird grimace/smile, and then goes back to staring. That was nightmarish. But not for any of the reasons Maurice thinks it was.
The End.

GH Recap 11/19: I am Mr. Roark, and I am your host
Haunted Star: I forgot Johnny and Luke were working together. Or did I make that up? They are in a scene together.
Russian Shadow Warehouse: Sam trots into the warehouse b/c why would there be any guards at all? She asks Sascha for a job.
Jason's Penthouse: Spinelli comes home to put the gun back into the Box of Secret Pain. Jason says he shouldn't be carrying that. Spinelli says no one, not even Jason, will stop him from exacting The Revenge.Credits
Scorpio-Drake Home: Robin thinks Patrick should go do rounds. He doesn't want to leave her alone while she's recovering from the c-section. Seriously, why wouldn't she be totally cool with being pampered for one stupid day? She wants to have a chance to be a mommy and thinks it's about time.Haunted Star: Luke says he's disappointed in Johnny for some reason. I guess Luke wanted to challenge him to a game of roulette. Johnny thinks he's being played and wants to play cards. He opens a fresh deck and fans them out face down. But Brandon Baresh has apparently never played cards in his life because he holds the fan of cards in a way that would easily let Luke see them. Johnny wins the card picking and remains a partner at the HS.
Olivia's Room: Sonny has once again answered a phone that isn't his. He chats with Dante until Olivia rips the phone away. Olivia ends the call and tells Sonny that he's out of line. Olivia says she'll go back to Bensonhurst if he's going to end run her son. or something like that. Um, the thing is, Olivia is not wealthy, right? So doesn't she need to go back to work? Doesn't she have rent to pay? Even in Bensonhurst, I doubt rent is so affordable that you can take a month off work.Russian Shadow Warehouse: Sascha will give Sam a job.Jason's Penthouse: Spinelli tells Jason that Maxie was beat up and hit her head when she fell. Spinelli frantically says he thought she was dead. Jason says that he just said she's fine. Spinelli says that Maxie is quite small with delicate bones, and the Russians brutalized her anyway. Jason says that Maxie is under his protection as much as anyone else, and the people who hurt her will pay. Jason emphatically tells Spinelli that he knows he's wanting to take on The Revenge, but The Revenge often leads to The Darkening and The Dreadening or whatever, and you can never come back from The Dreadening of killing someone. Jason gets a phone call, so Spinelli is able to break the trance Jason has him in and runs off as Jason talks to Bernie. Or Bennie. I can never remember.
Commercials
GH Lounge: Edward and Tracy meet. Edward wants Monica to be chief of staff b/c she's been getting on his nerves at the house. Edward mocks her marriage to Luke, but she says she's Luke's real wife, since he chose to stay with her.
Nurse's Station: Piph tells Liz about some patients, and that she thinks Liz's boyfriend is involved. Liz snits that if Piph is talking about Jason, she doesn't know anything about his business. Piph says Liz may not be a total idiot afterall. I paraphrase. Patrick shows up to work and tells the women that Robin is a good mom.Emma's Home: Robin tries to put together some complicated thingy. Why wouldn't two physicians just pay someone to build their baby stuff? Emma starts crying. Robin picks up doll and tries to figure out a way to either heat a bottle or change her. She doesn't know which Emma needs, so instead of simply CHECKING the kid's diaper and making a bottle anyway, she just pathetically sits there and pats the doll. Unsurprisingly, Emma still needs whatever is making her cry to be addressed, so she keeps crying. Well, Robin, you can try waiting until she starves to death, or you can make a dang bottle for her.Haunted Star: Johnny and Luke try to have a cool-off basically. Neither one is winning, by the way.Olivia's Room: Oy, Sonny and Olivia keep yammering to each other. Who has the time to sit around and bicker all day? Oh, and speaking of have WAY too much free time? kate shows up yet again to eaveslurk. Sonny randomly says he wants to talk to Dante again. Kate looks on in surprise.
Corinthaus: Spinelli lets himself in the terrace door. Why don't these people, who are actively being attacked by The Danger, never lock their doors? Somehow Spinelli knows that the bar is totally awesome and has a secret panel where Sonny keeps his box of Secret Pain. Only really, Sonny just keeps a gun in it b/c Sonny has no secret pain. he tells anyone and everyone all about his stupid pain. Spinelli conceals the gun. Max comes in to ask what Spinelli is doing. Spinelli says this is wise and takes off. Of course, he has to stop on the terrace and pull out the gun and think a moment before taking off resolutely. Do the writers think we forgot already that he just got that gun?Commercials
Olivia's Room: Kate is all wimpy and pathetic and says Sonny was nice to take time off work to visit Olivia and that Olivia will thank him accordingly. Olivia says this is insulting to both her and Sonny. Sonny again says he'll call Dante to look after Olivia if she doesn't get better, or something. Olivia smiles and calls him an asss. Sonny leaves and Kate whines that Sonny should know about Dante, and she thinks telling Sonny would be a perfect, final gesture. Olivia stares dumbfounded and smell the farty about it, and Mr. Mad giggles.
Maxie's room: Spinelli brought a lavender plant to Maxie that can be transplanted later. Maxie says she has a brown thumb. Spinelli says that Mac was right and it is spinelli's fault she was injured, so he has to step out of her life. Mr. Mad asks who this weirdo is.
Docks: Sam and Lucky meet. She tells him that she got a job with The Russians. Lucky says this is a bad idea. Sam says that no one else is in a position to get evidence. It's a good point. Maybe the government or someone could create a group of people who do things like spy on bad guys and gather evidence. It could be centralized. Maybe set up headquarters in Langley, Virginia.Jason's Penthouse: Jason gets Cody ready to drain the blood of every Russian in town. He wants no prisoners.Commercials
Nurse's Station: Liz and Patrick discuss patients. Patrick mentions that Emma sleeps only 3 hours at a time. Liz chuckles and says that sounds great to her. Patrick asks a few more questions about how often he should feed her. Piph shows up to be a total, bitchmouthed snot and berates him for making conversation about his newborn with a woman who is both a mother and a nurse. Honestly, they are getting work done, so why can't he ask a few questions without this insulting castigation? For some reason, Patrick apologizes. Robin calls and the baby is crying, so he asks them to sign him out. Liz and Piph say they have it under control, and he should be with his family. patrick cutely likes the sound of "my family" and leaves. Piph chuckles. Because I'm so effing sure that she just magically knew how to be a perfect parent 24 hours into the job.Haunted Star: Johnny and Luke are still hanging out, drinking and being cool. Looloo and some really silly looking curly hair saunter in. She's all snotty to Luke and says that Luke didn't keep her and Johnny apart. Luke says "oh, rats" and thanks Johnny for stopping by. Johnny kisses her forehead and says her name never came up. ha! Loo says she's an idiot, but Luke hugs her fondly anyways because he's used to have idiots for children.Maxie's Room: Maxie's eyes are all puffy and tearful as she insists that Stolichnaya attacked her b/c she saw them at Kelly's. She cutely says "I know you think you are a mobster, but you're not. You're more like...tech support!" Spinelli says that being friends with Jason makes him complicit. When he saw her lying in the same spot where Georgie died, and he couldn't bear life without her. Before he can finish, she interrupts and says she feels the same way, and she can't manage without his friendship. She'll turn into a horrible person again. SPinelli says she'll always be in his heart. She says she needs his presence too. He says she will have it, just not now. Then he ominously gets up to "attend" to something. She is easily cued in that this is The Danger and demands to know where he's going, but he leaves and says no more.Commercials
Emma's Closet: Patrick comes home and Robin whines that she's destroying Emma's life by being bad at everything. Patrick picks up Emma and gets her to stop crying. Robin asks how he did that. Patrick says it was just bad timing, and Emma was probably cried out. Robin, as Robin does, takes this one piece of anecdotal evidence and bases her life's philosophy on it: Patrick is a great dad, and she sucks. Maybe Emma just doesn't like bad attitudes, Robin?Haunted Star: Luke and Looloo talk about Logan. he blames Logan and hopes Loo isn't beating herself up over it. I can't even conceive of my father not being around for my murder trial. Loo thinks Laura could sense Looloo's pain and knew she was needed, so she came back. Loo asks what it means to him to have Laura back.Corinthaus: Max tells sonny that Spinelli came by to broker a truce. Sonny says it's clear that Spinelli lives in the twilght zone and Jason doesn't really want to help him. Max says it's shame. There is a knock at the door. Max lets in Kate. Sonny mumbles that he thought she'd come, but he didn't think it would be this soon. Wow, that is so romantic. That was about as romantic as a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Kate says she's not there to get back together, rather for the opposite.Russian Shadow Warehouse: Sam reports for duty. Sascha has Vlad frisk Sam. She says she'd appreciate a warning next time. Sascha coldly says she doesn't trust Sam yet. Why that means she can't give a polite heads up about a frisking is beyond me. Vlad and the vodkas open a crate. Sam stares openly at it with her mouth slightly open. Because she's about as subtle as Freddy Mercury, that one.Jason's Penthouse: I think we literally see the exact scene with Jason and Cody, with Jason once again saying that they'll leave no one alive. I assume he doesn't mean the emo-sounding band that plays while The Danger montage unfolds in slow motion.Commercials.
Corinthaus: kHate says it's sad that stuff is sad, and she didn't know he was still in the mob. She kept a secret. he needs to know the truth....about his son. oh brudder. You are a piece of work kHate Howard.Docks: Belvedere and Grey Goose walk along the docks. Spinelli jumps out from behind a row of crates and says "Freeze Evil dowers. This is for maximista" But then he stands there with the gun drawn for 45 hours.Russian Shadow Warehouse: Jason puts a sleeper hold on a guard. Then he signals for Cody. For some reason it only seems to be two of them shooting at the Russians. Sam has to hide behind crates. Because of how wooden crates totally stop bullets. Much shooting ensues. Sadly, there is no emo song. :(the end
