GH 1/29: Oh, Sonny's Boy
House of Lemon Pledges: The Jax's get ready for the Christening. Carly beams that Jocelyn gets to have this day thanks to Michael. Michael says killing Claudia doesn't really give him a free pass. Lady Jane shows up to be joyful and happy, and Michael feels grumpy about it.
Kelly's: Looloo asks Lucky to please go with her to the christening.
Dante's Room: Dante gets ready. Lou says that the arrest will happen after the christening, unless Dante is planning on warning Sonny.
Corinthaus: Sonny gets dressed as well.. and to be clear, he of course gets dressed in his living room, bar, office, study, dining room. Why would you have a mirror in your bedroom or your bathroom in your mansion, afterall? Jason and Sonny gossip about killing Dante. Olviia walks in and says she's here to stop him. But even though there's no way she didn't overhear what Sonny just said, there is thereforre, no way she did overhear it.
Credits
Kelly's: Lucky drama queens about how there's so much to tiptoe around at the christening, and he doesn't want to deal with it. Loo says all the aggravating drama is exactly why she needs him there. Besides, she points out it may be a once in a lifetime chance to see someone ask her to be the moral compass for anyone. heh.
Dante's room: Laundromat Lou says that Dante is giving Sonny a break by letting him have one last happy moment before they drag him away to prison. Dante wonders if that's so bad. Well, gee, Dante, I wonder how many last good byes Sonny and Jason allow their victims before killing them? Lou says that the problem is it gives Sonny time to squirm away.
Corinthaus: Olivia has come to caution Sonny and Jason to behave at the christening. Because Olivia is the kind of dingbat who thinks that Sonny's terse mumbling is the worst thing he ever does. That he might be rude to Jax is the sum of his faults. Even though she knows he not only kills people, but he's very likely going to add her son to the list of people he kills.
House of Lemon Pledges: Somehow Lady Jane has managed to smuggle an effing tree from Australia. I can only imagine the customs nightmare that created.
Commercials
House of Lemon Pledges: Lady Jane is concerned that Jax might be keeping a secret from Carly. Jax, in his hilariously obtuse way, says "just one" lol. oy, Jax. I think Carly is a hyperbolic nightmare, but even I can count a dozen lies that go with Dante lie, and at least half of those are of the sort she has the right to be angry about. To begin with, Jax is now trusting his mommy with the secret he won't tell his wife. That's a month in the guest room in my house. but I can't be too mad at Jax b/c he wants to arrest Sonny, and I'm on Team Prison Stripes.
Corinthaus: Sonny mumbles stuff. Probably about how he perceives that he's in charge of his mob syndicate. Carly shows up, so Olivia leaves. Carly is appreciative that Sonny is coming today, and she's very proud they are still friends. Carly asks him to be on good behavior (for her, unlike Olivia, this is actually code for "don't kill my guests") Sonny says today is the day they leave the garbage by the side of the road. Because a police officer who is doing his sworn duty to protect and serve is garbage. And he, is dimpled awesomeness.
Kelly's: Dante cleans up real nice, by the way. Loo leaves for the christening, but Dante pulls her into one of those kisses that look good on TV, but seem like they'd be kind of smashed and painful in real life.
Commercials
Haunted Star: Liz and Luke have it out. Luke offers to let her say per peace. She says she owes him an apology. When he caught her with Nik, she said it was over, and obviously that was a lie. She says she's sorry. Luke gently says apology is accepted. Her eyes fill with tears. He asks if she thought he'd rake her over the coals. She meekly says she did. He says there's no percentage in raking her over the coals. She sadly says she thought he wouldn't be able to look at her. He says don't get him wrong, she did wrong and was wrong, and she's not his favorite person. He says that we aren't just our mistakes, and as wrong as what she did was, it doesn't negate the good she's done for Lucky through the years. Liz begins to make eye contact, but Loo shows up and asks what this piece of trash wants. It's hilarious that as big a mess as Luke is, he's of course raised kids who call people trash and worse, but that he himself is capable of being more Christian than anyone else on the show as far as leaving room for forgiveness without a price.
Chapel: Lucky is early to church and tearfully prays and says he knows he's made mistakes, but what has he done to deserve this. Jason walks in and bizarrely interrupts Lucky's prayer. I mean, not that I think Jason cares about prayer, but he seems at least polite enough not to walk in while someone weeps and pray. But instead, Jason asks if that's how it works.
House of Lemon Pledges: Jax and Carly marvel at the teeny, adorable miracle of the baby they made.
Olivia's Chocolate Apartment: Dante visits his mom. He gets a call from Sonny that he's needed. Olivia gets all fidgety and asks if Sonny said what it was about. Dante says he wouldn't, but he seemed tense. Olivia wonders if this is what was wrong with Sonny earlier, that she visited him, and he seemed kind of weird, like he was holding something back. So, Olivia decides that no matter what, she loves her son more than anything she's ever known, so she tells him that she believes Sonny is a murderer and that it doesn't matter that he's nice sometimes, and that she outed him a bit as a cop, and that Dante should act right now to do whatever he's gotta do to take down Sonny, and that no matter what, he should never be alone with the man again. Or, not really. She just stands there, thinking about how handsome Sonny looked in his suit.
Commercials
House of Lemon Pledges: Michael worries to Jax that Dante is about to arrest Sonny, so they have to do something. Jax assures Michael that nothing will happen today, so they should just enjoy this. Carly and Morgan hurry in, and they rush off to the day where nothing can possibly go wrong. because they everyone else in this town, they are all as stupid as they are pretty.
Chapel: Hilariously Organist plays and plays and plays while Jason and Lucky chat. Lucky laments that Jason entrusted him with Jakeson b/c he and Liz could make a good home for him. He's sorry that all that is gone now. Jason says "good point, does Liz still have all those scarves?"
Haunted Star: Liz thanks Luke for his compassion and slinks out of the room, under Looloo's barking gaze. Luke tells his daughter that as much fun as it is to be a sanctimonious prick, the problem with being one in this town, is that junk acts like a boomerang, and before you know it, it's smacking you in the face. (Luke's metaphor, not mine.)
Corinthaus: Sonny mumblecharms that he wants Dante to go up to Dark and Twisty Road By The Old Saw Mill Under the Whispering Pines, out near where those teens all died that summer at camp, or wherever, and look out for The Danger. He mutters that if Dante leaves now, he can make it there by nightfall. Dante answers "yeah, and be dead by nightfall." Sonny is surprised.
Commercials
Chapel: Maxie and Spinelli, and Maxie's confusing hair length show up and take their seats. Maxie gossips about how Looloo and Dante are in love. Spinelli, who was apparently all gung ho about murdering Dante earlier, now feels bad about it. Oh, he must be a nice person b/c he only finds murder acceptable some of the time.
Corinthaus: Sonny mumbles that he doesn't get why Dante is paranoid. Jason needed the security detail. Dante says this kind of planning takes forethought, so he'd have been a part of it, and Loo is the godmother, so Sonny knows Dante wants to be a part of it. yet instead, Sonny sends him out to visit Wylie Coyote. Sonny mumbleasks why Sonny would set up Dante, unless he found out he betrayed him.
Chapel: Robin and Patrick sit, and Patrick blathers about the community, or something.
Foyer: Johnny walks in and Carly cheerfully greets him. Olivia walks in and asks if they are speaking. He says it's up to her. He sees her looking around and says Sonny's not here.
Corinthaus: Dante says they are having this same conversation that he betrayed him somehow. Sonny angrily says is Dante really saying there's a question of how he's betrayed him. Dante knows the gig is up, so he says that he wanted to give everyone one last good day. Sonny shakes his head. Dante pulls out his cop badge....which is a remarkably stupid thing for an undercover cop to carry on his person....and he tells Michael Corinthos, Jr. that he's under arrest for the murder of Claudia Corinthos. Sonny shakes his head.
Commercials
Chapel: The services get ready to commence, and Loo wonders where Dante is.
Corinthaus: Dante mirandizes Sonny. when he gets to "court of law", Sonny pulls out a gun, in the sloppiest possible way. He says it isn't going to get that far.
Oh, have you seen The Godfather? Remember how there was a christening intercut with Michael murdering the heads of all the other families as payback for Vito being killed? and how it was perfect and creepy and disturbing, hearing a priest give a sacrament while people were murdered, and how the organ music got progressively distorted and odd, and how Michael swore to renounce Satan, and that vow was his alibi for 5 murders?
this ain't like that at all.
I think it's Celtic music that's playing?
Dante doesn't believe it at first and asks if Sonny really wants to add cop killer to his list. Because Dante is a dum dum like the rest who doesn't get that Sonny doesn't hold anything sacred. Not his children, not his wives, certainly not the law, and not even his God.
Loo cradles Jocelyn while Jason stands by, and the priest baptizes the baby.
Dante remembers why he took this job in the first place, and he tells Sonny about Mr. Politti, how he was his role model, and Sonny not only murdered him, but he went on to arrogantly flaunt that he'd done it and become the opposite of decent.
Loo and Jason make their vows to watch over Jocelyn.
Sonny says he doesn't remember this Mr. Politti, but he's glad he killed him.
Jocelyn looks up at Loo, her head dripping with holy water.
Dante says he feels for his children. He looks the darkness in its face and tells Sonny to go ahead. Sonny says "goodbye detective" and shoots an unarmed man in the chest.
Olivia rushes in, seeing her son on the floor with a spot of blood ever growing in the center of his chest. Sonny looks confused that she's so upset. It was just a cop, afterall. Olivia screeches that Sonny shot his own son. His reaction: none.

Actually, it was payback for Sonny being shot on the causeway. Ironic.

GH seems to want to do a lame ass copy of every mob movie and show, when they should take a page from real life, when teflon don Gotti went to prison and died there. THAT story I'd like to see on GH

or like in The Godfather Part 3 when Michael Corleone is old and alone and falls out of his chair at the end of the movie.

As I sat on the couch last night watching the show you had already capped I couldn't help but once again be amazed on how you do it. Many people can be funny~~ and funny you are~~ but to be able to poke fun, make analogies or movie references all in real time is amazing.
Of course I loved the Godfather Christening comparison.....when in doubt they pull out their old VCR and tapes. You have Sonny pegged 100%.

If it's as hard to get a tree out as it is to get Slim Jims into Australia - it just aint gonna happen. They take (and eat) every Slim Jim we send my niece who goes to school there - not one has gotten through.
