GH 8/12: Swamp Thang, you make my heart sing
Cafe Interrogate: Ethan visits Johnny, and they talk about The Lopez Danger.
Loft: Dante and Looloo lie around in bed like total jackasses who have no respect for the fact that Michael lives here too.
Pentonville Bistro: Michael is very nervous to be back in Pentonville, even though he's only visiting. It's a miserable place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.
Italy: Adrienne Barbeau! Awesome! Adrienne and Brenda talk about the super lame attempt on Brenda's life yesterday.. Adrienne is worried. Brenda admits that she's at risk, but she can't be asked to hide. Even if Swamp Thing would befriend you and keep you safe? eh? eh?
Credits
Italy: Brenda says they are raising awareness for abused children everywhere. Adrienne worries Brenda will become an even bigger target, and Brenda thinks that's good. Brenda says some so and so has offered to pay for her security. I think ASEC is like PETA for children. Adrienne says someone tried to scar Brenda's face yesterday, and that's a big deal. Wait, are they talking about her botox technician or the guy with the butterfly knife?
Pentonville Bistro: Jason says Michael has to find a way to deal with things. Michael says he pretends he's okay so Carly won't worry. She says Carly is acting all cheerful and hyper happy, and also he later found Brooke's at Dante's. Somehow Michael has jasonically put together that Brooke being at Dante's is related to Carly being super cheerful. I think Jason tells Michael not to talk to Carly. That's weird.
Cafe Interrogate: Ethan and Johnny fight loudly. I think Ethan is worried that Johnny will skip bail? or that Johnny will walk into Sonny's trap? or that Johnny already walked into Sonny's trap?
Kelley's: Carly and Mike chat. Carly bizarrely says that being out of prison agrees with Michael. Well...like, duh, right? I would assume Everyone On Earth looks less miserable when they are not in prison than when they are. Mike says this is tough on everyone, especially Sonny. Carly manages not to laugh in his face and points out it's a wee bit tougher on Jason since he's went to prison to save Michael. Lisa shows up for a Cobb salad. Carly sees Patrick at the door, and Patrick sees Lisa and skeedaddles. Carly "distracts her" by yammering about cobbler. Apparently Patrick just hid behind a lamp post, and for some reason he comes right back in when Lisa leaves.
Loft: Even though everyone else in town has had time to get fully dressed, order to go lunch items, drive all the way out to the prison, Looloo and Dante are sitting around eating in their undies. Loo whines that Kate expects her to actually show up at work from time to time. Olivia calls out from the door. Not the elevator. I love this stupid apartment. I"m guessing Olivia had to shinny up the drain pipe? Dante hears her at the door and says "doh" and rushes to put on clothes. Mr. Mad brings me a snack and giggles.

Kelly's: Patrick and Carly gossip about his affair. He says he's told Lisa that he's not attracted to her, and their affair was a mistake. Carly is bored and says he already told her all of this at Jake's. Patrick adds the new dish that someone tore Robin's face out of photos she had in her locker. Even Carly, who despises Robin, finds that a bit unnerving. Patrick says he told Robin that maybe a pissed off intern did it. Carly says Robin isn't stupid, and she has to suspect Lisa. Like so many people who end up either dead or friends with a murdered person, Patrick says he's sure it was just a one time thing. Carly says he's in denial. Patrick nods, but he doesn't know what else to do.
Loft: What is it like in Olivia's brain? "I want to go talk to my son about the woman in his life. I guess I'll wear my blue shirt that's cut down to the bow on my bra. As long as I wear my cross, it will still be demure, right?" Olivia wants to talk to Dante about Looloo and marriage. But isn't Looloo at the loft? Is she hiding in the pantry? or in the 3rd floor conservatory that appeared in the middle of the night?
Cafe Interrogate: Ethan offers to have Johnny's back, but he doesn't want to be in a firefight. Johnny assures Johnny that he's made things cool with The Lopez Danger, and they know they didn't bomb Johnny's car, and that he doesn't think they did, and that he's not retaliating, and they are all working together against Sonny.
Prisonville Bistro: Michael tells Jason about The Lopez Danger and how Johnny is being questioned. Jason is worried and says Michael shouldn't be involved in this. Jason says Sonny has been dealing with The Danger for years, and Michael corrects him and says that really Jason has been dealing with it and letting Sonny play house. Michael then loses his temper and says Jason could be protecting Sonny if he weren't stuck in prison because of him (Him being Michael himself)

GH: Lisa and Stephen discuss a case, and he asks her what's wrong. She threatens a sexual harassment lawsuit unless he basically lets her do whatever she wants medically. Lisa then speaks chipperly to Patrick as if she didn't just threaten anyone.
Kelly's Al Fresco: Maxie and Shawn Douglas meet. He tells her he asked Robin and Patrick about her history with Lucky. She says Lucky was addicted to pain killers, and they were on a downward spiral, but they've moved past that and are friends now. Shawn says those are unusual grounds for friendship. He says she doesn't know what she wants right now, and maybe Lucky isn't a smart choice to spend time with. Maxie was willing to have a conversation about her past, but she's not remotely interested in being judged or gossiped about and coolly says Shawn doesn't get a vote in who she's friends with and had no right to gossip about her.
Press Conference: So, Brenda's deal is she is working with Artulo or Cartulo, some design line that she admires. They have agreed to support her charity, Alliance to Support Exploited Children. Someone asks her about her attack. She says she was in no danger the previous night. She turns the talk back to her charity and design line.
Pentonville Bistro: Carly visits Jason. He tells her Michael was here. He sternly says that Michael is worried about her b/c he thinks she has a plan to get revenge on Dante and Looloo.
Loft: Olivia continues to yammer about marriage with Looloo. Didn't they start dating a few months ago? Dante says he can't see himself being with anyone else. Olivia asks if Dante knows how Looloo feels about marriage. I don't have kids yet, but I would never suggest that any of my children get married before theyd' been dating long enough to talk about marriage. I'd understand this if Dante and Loo had been shacking up for a couple of years, but they are still only at the stage where she still wears fancy panties, and he still manscapes, and it's not a question of how many times a week, but how many times a day they do it. Anyone can feel blissful 6 months in. Also, seriously...where did Looloo go? Is there a new back door that I don't know about? Did she jump out a window like that Jet Blue guy?

Kelly's: Maya finally becomes adorably likeable by letting down that bitch of a wall she put up and tells Ethan that she can't get him out of her head, and she almost let him die, and he chose to be charming and helpful about it and not hold it against her, and she finds it all very confusing. Then she flees. Ethan found it all very entertaining, and the guy deserves to be happy, so if she can quit being such a whip, I'm all for it.
Kelly's al Fresco: Maxie says her relationship with Lucky was unconventional. She swallows and adds "twisted and dysfunctional" She says Typelli is the first person who loved her for exactly who she is. She loves Typelli, but she's not in love with him. Shawn says she's sure, and she's not just using someone like him to win him back. She says she tried that, but she knows she'll never love him like he loves her. She says he's charming and sexy and fabulous. He asks if he hadn't saved her father's life, would she be saying these things. She doesn't say anything, and he says that's his answer. Also, Hi, Buoy Boy!
GH; Stephen and Patrick discuss a patient. Lisa's Theme plays as her eyes go all batty. She fakes a page and tells a nurse she'll be back.
Loft: Olivia is gone, and Dante is deep in thought. Loo comes back from work to get a book. Dante wants to talk to her about what Olivia said. Yeah, dude, you don't bring up marriage when your girlfriend is literally running out the door. He stammers about stuff for a bit.
Pentonville Bistro: Carly says Brook just happened to be at Dante's apartment. Jason isn't buying it and angrily tells her that Michael is running around trying to fix everything, and he's going to get stuck in her nonsense. Carly asks how she can walk away from this because whenever she sees Looloo she sanctimoniously talks about what a great role model Dante is. But the problem with that logic is the only reason Carly is around Looloo is b/c she's pretending they are still BFF's. If she was honest, they could be coolly polite to each other for Michael's sake. Carly says she can't abide.

Italy: Adrienne says Cartulo is picking up the tab for their suite. Brenda opens a jewelry box to reveal a rather depressing looking diamond necklace and earrings. Adrienne says they were sent for her to wear at the premiere. Brenda stares into sadness and murmurs that Adrienne knows she doesn't like to wear diamonds. I'm just going to call her Ade, like Adriana on the Sopranos. If the show gets surprisingly awesome, I would assume she could suffer a similar fate. (Not that I wish her ill will. Just an actual plot line with conflict and something of value at stake, please!) Ade says these aren't conflict diamonds, they are vintage and over 70 years old. Brenda is still staring into Sadness, presumbably seeing the shower, and the catacombs, and the car lot, and the rain and manages a brief, sad smile that has a hint of bitchface and says that Ade can wear them. She leaves the room murmuring that diamonds are bad luck for her.
Pentonville Bistro: Is this visitor's room a haunted house part of the time? I don't know how this lighting would be appropriate otherwise. Sam visits now, trying to keep all the marriage hints in her pocket and not dropping them everywhere like usual. She is wearing an actual shirt, though, and perhaps even a bra, so I shouldn't be hard on her. They talk about how Sam is really here as Brenda b/c they are using his marriage certificate for conjugal visits. She thinks she's found a way to get him out. Of course, she's also said she's going to law school, and that she loves children, so it's not like you can exactly set your clock by stuff Sam says.
Loft: Dante blurts out that he loves her and has never felt this way about anyone. She says she loves him too. He says that's enough for now right, and anything else would just be something for his mom. He stammers and stutters and finally says the word marriage. It was somthing like "because my mom just wants something she never had peanut butter and jelly tax shelters marriage." Loo's mouth is agape.
GH: Stephen assures Maya that she probably won't freeze up and kill too many other patients. Maya smiles and thanks him. Ethan shows up, and Maya says they did this already. He said they didn't finish, and he gently pulls her into a kiss.
Patrick and Stephen leer at them. Patrick says "it used to be so easy. Pretty girl, No strings." oh, shut the eff up, dooshy. gawd. You have a daughter now, creepo. Also, it could have remained that easy if you hadn't used Lisa like she was some elaborate masterbatory device instead of an actual human being that you in fact did care about. Stephen continues to leer at Ethan and Maya. I assume it means nothing, but that was some very poor direction and editing that no one cut the scene sooner.
Emma's Cottage: Piano Guy plays a few low notes in an unnerving way as Lisa lets herself into the cottage. She coos gently into the room "Robin?" like you would if you were waking your best friend on one of her decade beginning birthdays. She then gets braver and comes in, calling out again. Piano Guy continues to point out that this is strange behavior. Also? I'm pretty sure Robin and Patrick's house has completely changed and what was once the kitchen and dining room is now a terrace. Lisa stands crazily in the silence of the house and smiles. She sits on the sofa with a relaxed face and then lays down on the pillows, turning her face to gaze at Robin and Patrick's wedding photo.
and whatevs, I knows she's going to go all boil-a-bunny over this, but I still don't think she's the bad guy. Robin was a jerk for leaving her family. Patrick was even worse for drinking constantly and whining to anyone who would listen that he didn't want to be married. Robin was at least trying to save the world. Patrick was just being drunk and childish and abandoning his daughter.
Commercials
Emma's Cottage: Patrick approaches his front porch and can hear the TV on inside. He opens the door without a key and finds Lisa lounging on his sofa with a beer. She happily greets him and tells him the race is about to start, so grab a beer and join her. Piano Guy insists on playing the creepy music because he's always loved Robin more than I have.
Loft: Dante says he knows they haven't been together that long, but wonders if she would ever want to get married. She plasters a fake smile on her face and tries not to cower as she thinks of the various states of misery her parents have spent w/r/t marriage.
Metrocourt: Michael and Johnny run into each other. Michael is dutifully doing what he believes Jason would be doing if he were free....doing something, anything, to keep his astonishingly incompetent mobsterfather from getting killed or killing everyone. I have made my opinion about the mob and The Danger as clear as I know how. I do like this new direction they are taking Michael, The Peacemaker. I think it's what AJ would have done if he hadn't been such an alcoholic eff up. (and I love me some AJ Quartermaine, so I don't mean that as an insult. Those are just the facts. Like Sonny and Jason kill people for a living is the fact.) Johnny scoffs that it's too late to broker deals b/c Sonny planted a bomb in his car and...Suddenly we hear tires screaching, and Michael and Johnny dive as bullets ring out and destroy a rather fancy plate of glass.
Pentonville Bistro: Somehow Sam, non law student, has come up with a plan to get Jason off for time served. I am more than willing to eat my words that she's found some law case that would work to get him out of jail, though I would find it silly that she didn't go to Diane about it instead of Spinelli. Ah, but then it turns out that she really just wants to pose as a stripper and sit on some judge's lap who has a thing for strippers. Nice to see the status quo wasn't rocked! Jason insists she can't do this.
Italy: Brenda stares out the window, and flashes back to when Jason hadn't discovered protein shakes, and she asked him for some favors. It's right after Sonny left her standing in the rain on their wedding day, and she wants Jason to take all the wedding stuff and burn it. Jason gathers the stuff and finds a diamond bracelet. Brenda says Sonny gave her that bracelet when they first started, and it turned out to be the worst mistake of her life. Back in the present, we hear Brendapast angrily saying 'diamonds in the start, diamonds at the end' Brendapresent approaches the jewelry case with the aforementioned vintage jewels and snaps it shut. She sits alone on the sofa and wonders how she could have ever married Corey Feldman. Oh wait, that was me wondering that. Brenda presumably wonders how she ended up 40 and alone yet still with people trying to kill her.

Also, seriously...where did Looloo go? Is there a new back door that I don't know about? Did she jump out a window like that Jet Blue guy?
ROFLMAO Mad you crack me up with the commentary about Dante's 1 million $ loft that has no bedroom but endless hallways and ways in and out.

I find it intriguing that you missed Loo's exit to go to work (and then come back b/c she forgot her work on the coffeetable), and, yet, you always make note of the Buoy Boy or Piano Guy. Love the way you watch/hear this show!!!
"Just an actual plot line with conflict and something of value at stake, please!"
