I'm a tad behind, but luckily I love to ignore Luke and Teethan.

GH Ambulance Bay: Nadine kindly asks Chewbecca if she wants to go to Mercy. Maudevoiced Chewbecca says she only wants a warm bath. Can't really argue with that. Nik says Chewy has suffered smoke inhalation. Nadine says she might as well concede b/c Nik usually gets his way. They all get in the ambulance. Nik awkardly sits between the woman he most recently slept with, and the woman who looks most like the woman he slept with before that. Nadine offers to check Chewy's vitals.

Robin holds her Inuit baby, who is finally sleeping. Robin, for once, doesn't sound like she's reciting her dissertation to a crowd of geniuses and instead sounds like she's telling a story to a baby. It's nice.

Vaguely Burning Building: Johnny is now wandering aimlessly, looking for Maxie. He finds her shoe. Aw, how Cinderella-y!

PCPD Shack: Sonny, Kate, Olivia and Claud all reunite. Kate yammers something about Carly instead of saying "your wife shot your kid" because Kate is so lame. Kate finally starts talking in code about secrets, but Raynor comes in to take them to Mercy. How thoughtful. The FBI drops the ball, literally, but they let non plow pox victims get medical attention first.

Snowy Exterior: Jax and Carly reunite and profess their love and adoration and such. Alexis walks up and apologizes for interrupting and asks if they've heard about Sam.

Snowy Roof: Jason, as you may have tried to block out, just pulled Sam up from certain death, and caught the Plow Pox sphere without damaging it. He and Sam leave to save Spinelli.

Mercy PD: Luke laments that his son is a cop. He wonders where he went so wrong as a father. heh.

Mercy Hospital, Monica's Room: Edward and Monica summoned Mac to tell him about Chewbecca, how she's a twin. They want to make sure Mac finds her to make sure she's safe. Mac hilariously acts like it's not that weird to find out your dead daughter has a twin. And it's really not that odd in Port Charles. If this was Pine Valley, then I'd understand the hubbub. Mac agrees to investigate. Don't these very rich people have someone they can call to at least google "Rebecca Shaw?"

GH Exterior: Alexis says they don't know where Jason, Sam or spinelli are. Carly says there's a good chance they are together, but Jason would never leave Sam or Spinelli in there. She reassures Alexis that Sam will be fine. Looloo in her tootoo run up to Carly to say she's glad she's okay. Jax hugs Alexis.

Slightly On Fire Room: Johnny calls for Maxie.

Fairly fire filled Stairwell: Jason and Sam don't do stupid things like crawl on the floor to reduce smoke inhalation. When the boogeyman has nightmares, he has nightmares about Jasam, is why. Jasam can kill two stones with one bird, is why.

PCPD Shack: The ladies have all left to be treated for a deadly toxin. So that's nice. Raynor threatens Sonny. On account of how that's always so effective. Admittedly, Peter Gallagher's eyebrows are scarier than Sonny, but that doesn't change the fact that no one ever scares, damages or causes inconvenience to Sonny, so why do they keep pretending it's ever going to happen?

Hate-able hatey hate Jail: Luke and Teethan talk about how Luke hates his son. Teethan says he gets that he'd want his son to be a notorious outlaw. Luke says Teethan gets it.

Actually Alarmingly Fire Filled Room: Jason tosses the Plow Pox into the fire. Because he's already obviously determined that he and Sam are immune to toxins. Because Jasam doesnt' get frostbite. Jasam bites frost.

Mercy Hospital: So the beret finally comes off. In case you wanted to know, Chewbecca has slightly blond highlights. Nik is creepily hanging out in her room. I can't even imagine how something like that would happen? When the doctor comes in, Nik instructs him to give her a full battery of tests,a nd she beyond reasonably snaps that she just met him an HOUR ago, so she'll take the rest of her life from here, thank you very much. I'm still not sold on Natalia, but I can't argue with anything Rebecca is saying regarding this creepy stalker she just met.

PCPD Shack: Carly and Jax stop by for a visit. Sonny's eyes get all big and hilarious...oh, I mean...threatening, and he tells Raynor he has a wife at Mercy, so he's going there, or Raynor can arrest him. Carly watches this in surprise. I guess she figures the bathtubsexbaby is out now.

MH Claud's Room: For some reason Kate, Claud and Olivia are all in the same room. It's only a 6 on the Stupid Scale, though, and it clearly has to happen so the "Who Shot Chucky" plot can creep along at rope bridge speed. (not really sure what that means? well you know how old rope bridges exist across giant chasms? they built those by: all the ladies would wander around, plucking grasses out of the ground, and then the ladies would sit around and roll the grasses together to make long, thin ropes, and then the ladies would braid those long, thin ropes into slightly thicker ropes, and so on and so forth until you had a ton of longass ropes. and then somehow...no idea...they would get these longass ropes to span the chasm. maybe the dudes crawled down and across and back over? What I'm saying is: this takes a realllllly long time.)
Olvia leaves and Kate sits at Claud's bedside and says she knows that Claud is involved in Chucky's shooting. She won't bother to tell her cousin, who could have helped her prove this, but she will tell the one woman who has a reason to stop her from telling. Kate is really smart. Smart like a stapler, as they say!

Who's Ya Daddy Jail: Oh, good, my monitor has decided to randomly shut on and off. That's awesome. I was really HOPING I would have to buy something new and expensive this month! Teethan accidentally quotes Hemingway. When Luke says it's impressive, Teethan says he got it off a matchbook. Luke laughs at this. I've had about a quart of gin, and I don't find it remotely funny. Hmmm, maybe I'm doing it wrong.

MH Claud's Room: Claud continues to manage a strong poker face and accuses Kate of being crazy. Kate accuses her again, and Claud says she didn't. But then she breathes funny like she's in pain. Kate has an annoying squeaky voice. I've never noticed before today. Somehow she knows that Claud planned the time and place of the shooting, and again I asks....why did Jerry Probst leave clues to find the DVD that tell the whole story....if the clues ALSO tell the whole story? What's to stop Sonny from stumbling upon a mere clue?

PCPD Shack: Natasha yells at Raynor to focus on getting the survivors out instead of bullying Sonny. Carly informs Loo that Johnny rushed into a burning building to save Maxie (this would be the same burning building he ignored for hours when it was just Looloo stuck in it. hahhahahahahahaha!)

MH Emma's Room: Robin continues to enjoy her baby and be magically cured of PPD. Mac visits and says Robin probably thought forward motion was better than waiting in a frozen car. This is true. But, Robin leaves out the treeing of her baby. But Eskimos are tough, so maybe she wasn't that horrible.

MH Monica's Room: Nik visits to give Mon and Edward a stalker update on Rebecca. Monica is worried she'll disappear, and they'll never see her again. Nik says they'll get answers when things calm down.

GH not even pretending to be on fire room: Sam wants to change Jason's bandages. The bandages are very bloody, and Sam is clearly lacking in the magical life saving bandage changing department b/c she slightly gags at the sight of the blood. I once almost fainted when my date was getting stitches. It was our first date. Long story, but he needed stitches, and I thought I'd be a cool date and hang out and entertain him while he got them. But the nurse took one look at my face as it turned green when she busted out those creepy, pointy, shiny instruments, and she told me to beat it. So I'm not mocking Sam b/c blood is icky.

Is it Infinity Yet? Jail: Luke wants to bust out of jail.

PCPD Jail: Jax wants to take the jaxicopter back to save Sam and Jason. Yes, but how would they know to be on the roof? Oh, Alexis asks this. Jax concedes and says he just wants to be helpful.

Looloo is grossed out that Johnny went to save Maxie. Carly says she can vent all she wants and doesn't blame her. Looloo leaves, but obviously she's leaving to go into the buiding, so why doesn't Carly stop her.

Stairwell: Johnny has found Maxie and tries to reason with her that she can't make it to the 10th floor. Maxie has smudges of soot that at once make her look like a Raggedy Ann doll and Hitler. I don't know how else to explain it. She knows Johnny is right, but she doesn't know how to abandon her friend.

GH Not the Studio: I don't know how Jason expects to recover from a gun shot wound without the magical, healing energies of Liz's studio, but I guess sometimes you gotta improvise and just use a hospital. They leave to try to wander aimlessly in a way that Spinelli might have wandered aimlessly and thus run into him.

MH Monica's Room: Nik agrees to try to stalk Rebecca again. Or maybe he agreed to do some googling, but Edward knows a stalker when he sees one. Wow, it only seems like a few days ago that Nik was one of my favorite characters. See what Natalia does?

MH Claud's Room: Kate suggests that Claud confess now, while Claud is recovering from almost dying, thus Sonny won't snap and kill her instantly and that his best course of action is to divorce her and get her charged and convicted. Good heavens Kate has an annoying voice. Claud looks idiotically guilty for a bit but then snaps that Kate has no proof. Does Megan Ward think she's in a Noel Coward play? What's with the whiney, wimpy, shrill voice? Sonny busts in and Kate grabs another bushel full of grass to make another thin strand of rope and says this is between her and Claud for now. Olivia walks in and asks what this is about, and she says she only knows she's supposed to braid together strands of rolled up grass and set them in a pile on this side of the gorge. Olivia and Kate leave. Sonny asks what this is about, but Claud is busy with her bushel of grass. She mutters something about making it to the other side of the gorge by next fall.

MH Emma's Room: Robin tells her sleeping Inuit that there are a lot of heroes today. she tells Mac about her decision to send Emma with Maxie and stay to help the evacuation. She narrows her brows and says this doesn't really make sense to her now, but she felt selfish at the time for abandoning people who needed help. She says she knows she should have been the one to take Maxie. Mac is incredibly loving during all of this and gently strokes her hair and tells her the world of parenting is full of decisions that don't always end up being smart or right.

GH: Loo tries to get into a building, but oddly a firefighter stops her. Then she watches as Maxie and Johnny make it out of the building and embrace.

GH Burning Areas: Jason and Sam stumble upon a door marked "Utility Room" and they both easily discern that OBVIOUSLY this is where Spinelli is. They begin to call out to him.

MH Claud's Room: Claud has turned on the waterworks while she talks to Sonny. She talks about when Sonny sent Johnny to Paddedton, and she was truly afraid for her life and her brother's life at that time. He asks why she's bringing this up. oh, she's about to confess! or, really, she's about to stare at him while we cut to commercial! almost the same thing!
