GH 2/22: Don't talk about your father like that. He's agreed not to kill you afterall!
Apparently the roads in Port Charles were designed by the guy who builds motocross tracks. I imagine they consist of nothing but hairpin turns and any straight away is a series of blind hills and every once in awhile there's a loop like the Shock Wave.
I don't understand the harrowing music that plays or why anyone is ever surprised when headlights suddenly appear in front of them. These people have car wrecks more often than they floss.
Corinthaus: Olivia blathers that she sees how Michael loves his other kids. I need someone to define love for me because I don't think it means what these people think it means. Sonny says she has to help him with Dante b/c he's a stranger to his son.
Rooftop: Dante yammers to Jason about how Sonny has a sentimental attachment to him. He assumes that Sonny told Jason not to kill him. Jason nods, morosely. The joke's on you, Jason, because mean old Franco already took away the one love you will ever know. Killing people. Dante says once Sonny is in jail, Jason will be free to go after him. Jason, get this...Jason says that Dante should be more grateful to Sonny for not killing him. Yes, he said that. and yes, both Dante and I have to force our heads not to explode. Dante is all "are you freaking KIDDING me that I should be grateful to someone who shot me?" Jason actually says that Dante should show gratitude and respect for his father. But Liz is in the asylum. and Jason is not.
Speaking of asylums: Nik stands there in his gross, shiny suit. I watched part of Analyze This over the weekend, and this suit reminds me Billy Crystal being handed a suit and asking "Is this made of chrome? I can see my reflection in it." Nik stands there, shiny and gross, with his aggravating overcoat folded over his aggravating beefy arm. He says he loves her.
Long and Winding Road: So the pointless wreck over. Maxie hops out, unscathed and starts yelling at the other car because she's a jackass who texts and drives and blames other people for the accidents she causes. Lucky has a bump on his head, and his airbag deployed but he's fine. What a completely stupid plot point this is. They hop out of the car and go gallavanting to the hospital. To go be pointless in a new location, I guess.
Credits
Corinthaus: Olivia says that because Sonny shot him, he doesn't get a vote in this. Sonny angrily says he wouldn't have done that if he knew Dante was his son. Olivia says she regrets letting the investigation going on as long as it did, but she will never regret keeping Dante out of Sonny's world. The proof she has that she did the right thing is that Dante is a good and decent man. She leaves Sonny to sulk.
Rooftop: 'xcuse me, I've gotta wrap my head in duct tape to keep it from exploding. Jason continues to be all angry at Dante because he lied. Dante shrugs and guesses he's just good at his job. Because that's really what Jason is angry about. He doesn't care that Dante lied. He cares that he and Sonny are The Worst Mobsters Ever and time and time again gave Dante more chances and stood up for him and believed him. Dante points out that Sonny must not have really grown to like him all that much because he put a hole in Dante's chest. Jason asks what else he thought would happen when he went into someone's house and was really a cop. Dante asks if Jason would have shot him, if he'd been there instead of Sonny. Looloo says she'd like to know the answer.
Commercials
Rooftop: Looloo, please change out of that horrible dress. She yells at Jason that she finally noticed that Sonny is actually kind of gross and the politeness is fake as hell. Jason insists that Sonny tries to be nice. When did Jason become a complete and total numbskull? Dante says he doesn't want Sonny's protection. Jason says he'd planned on killing Dante himself because he's a "rat cop" That doesn't make any sense. I mean, sure, Jason's got a point that an undercover cop can expect he'll be murdered if he's found out. But Jason is a numbskull that he doesn't get that the other side of that coin is that if you're a mobster you should assume there are cops trying to arrest you. Jason leaves, brimming with self-righteous indignation. It is not a good color on him.
Maxilu's: For some reason Lucky and Maxie went to Maxie's place instead of a hospital. I guess she wants him to bleed all over her living room?
Shadybrook: Nik and his aggravating coat tell Liz that he wants to be with her and doesn't their baby deserve two parents who love each other. She bitchfaces that she hopes he's not such a dum dum that he thought this baby would bring them together.
Commercials
Maxilu's: Lucky speaks to a wrecker and arranges for his car to be picked up. I'm sure the wrecker says "well, I'm backed up through March picking up the cars strewn in ditches about town. Have any of you ever thought about public transit" Maxie brings Lucky some OJ, and they proceed to have a pointless, boring conversation about Liz's pregnancy and affair and not know who the dad is. He says she checked herself into Shadybrook. Once again, Maxie just nods like this is normal instead of saying, 'wait, what? What part of the story are you not telling me for her to do something so extreme?" He says Liz asked him to forgive her. blah blah rages rises up in him, and he feels it's going to kill him. Maxie says Lucky should start being truthful.
Haunted Star: Ethan, Luke and Tracy gossip about Sonny. I guess this is about that pointless scene with Max and Milo and Johnny playing paint gun. Tracy wants Luke to distance himself from Sonny. Johnny shows up with an obnoxious roll of bills and says he wants to play blackjack and for Ethan to deal.
Corinthaus: Sonny tells Jason about the shooting. Apparently no one knows that Johnny was the shooter. Even though they were standing 10 feet from each other, and they have eyes, and Johnny's face was not hidden. Sonny thinks The Danger might be The Escobars.
Dante's room: Loo and Dante go back to his room. He says if Sonny gets convicted, that's what he deserves.
Commercials
Haunted Star: Luke makes some sort of deal with someone regarding Cuban cigars. Tracy wants to talk about how Looloo is in danger by being with Dante b/c of the Sonny connection. Luke says Sonny didn't raise Dante. Tracy scoffs that Luke didn't raise Ethan, but the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Johnny loses a bunch of money, but he says something about infringing on Sonny's territory.
Corinthaus: Jason says that Sonny has made Dante untouchable and thus twice as dangerous. He's a cop with inside info on them. Sonny sticks his fingers in his ears and says he can't hear him.
Shadybrook: Liz comes back with her therapy session, after which her doctor and the billing department presumably had a long conversation trying to figure out how the heck to bill Liz's insurance company because most insurance companies barely cover legitimate mental illness, much less "hadashittyday-itis" Nik is still there, much to her chagrin. She sits on her bed and complains that Helena thinks the baby is his, and she's already said she's going to groom this baby to take over the Cassadine inheritance. All eight-two dollars and 38 cents, huh. Haven't these idiots been bankrupt a dozen times and then magically were rich again, but put all their money into a hospital that's plagued with fires and monkey pox and only has 3 doctors and 2 nurses, and one of those nurses takes 40 hour breaks? He wants a paternity test as soon as possible and as soon as she agrees.
Commercials
.Shadybrook: Liz yells at Nik for pressuring her, and he gets all wimpy and namby pamby about it and apologizes. I really can't imagine what these two could do that would make them less palatable as a couple to me. She throws him out, and he slinks away.
Olivia's Chocolate Apartment: Johnny shows up, feeling alive like risk taking will make one feel. He tells her she's the only thing he cares about, he loves her and he wants to be with her. They kiss in strange fits.
Haunted Star: Luke notices Ethan's winnings he got from Johnny and suspects something is up.
Dante's room: Sonny shows up to make another plea to Dante about being father and son. I wonder if Abraham had a hard time winning Isaac over back in the day. "Son, apple of my eye, I won't be stabbing you in the heart afterall, so what say we pack a picnic and go watch a stoning this weekend?" The bible never says, but I've always wondered if Isaac didn't say "I want to live with mom"
Commercials
Haunted Star: Ethan says the shootout he walked into on the pier, Johnny was the target. Ethan says Johnny was grateful that his diversion allowed Johnny to escape. He's happy about his reward.
Pier: Foghorn guy greets Jason and Lucky while the buoy clangs merrily. Lucky assures Jason that he's going back on the wagon and will make sure the boys have at least one stable parent. Jason thanks him for that. Lucky thinks someone is trying to start a The Danger, and they should work together to bring him down. Jason agrees.
Olivia's Chocolate Apartment: Johnny and Olivia giggle and remove each others clothes hastily.
Maxilu's: Loo tells Maxie she's conflicted b/c she doesn't want to bash Sonny to Dante, but she can't help it. Yep, that's sort of the price scumbags have to pay.
Dante's room: Dante tells Sonny that everything he is is garbage. He tells Sonny to stop, that a line's been drawn, and he doesn't want either of them to cross it. Sonny listens a bit tearfully and then says that this anger, this inability to forgive...he knocks his chest with his fist....and says it's just like him. He leaves. Yes, not forgiving someone for wearing a wire, when she was certain it was moot if she wore a wire b/c you'd lied to her a hundred times that you weren't a mobster is totally the same thing as not forgiving someone for not even being man enough to look you in the eye when he shot you to death.

Don't know if anyone remembers, but when Nik first came to town I remember Helena annointing Elizabeth as a possible wife for her grandson.

I have a question. If Jason got out of the mob, I mean REALLY got out, what would he do? Would he work at Kelly's? He can't go back to the bike shop. It BLEW UP with LUCKY IN IT! Would he work for Cook or take Reginald's place at the Q's? Would he kill Ethan (wishful thinking)and work at the HS? Could he go back to PCU and finish his degree or would he have to start over with Anatomy & Physiology 101? Is PCU still standing or did it blow up with the Metro Court,the 19th time? Could he do construction work and fix those roads in PC? Maybe he could get a job at the PCPD,working with Mac, Lucky and Dante!
