GH 2/25: Flyyyyyy hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh, freeeeeeeeebiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiird


Jason's Penthouse:  Michael asks Jason how Sonny goes on trial for Claud's murder makes him a better father.  Jason says math is really, really hard in this town because 2 + 2 = blow Sonny 4 times, but just trust him...everything Sonny does means he's a better lover, father, mobster, person, humanitarian, despot, butcher, baker or candlestick maker.  There is a strict don't ask, don't tell policy in Port Charles.  Don't ask why Sonny always wins even when it's illogical, don't tell anyone that you've noticed that Sonny isn't particularly bright, smart, interesting, tough, strong. 

Courtroom:  Diane and Alexis bicker loudly in the courtroom.  Random Attorney Lady tells Country Judge that if they give Sonny bail, they'll never see him again.  I will give that judge $120 billion mafia war dollars if he'll make that happen!

Nurse's station:  Heh, Mr. Mad is vacuuming so all I know is that Patrick speaks cockily to Stephen and Lisa, and Robin, that disloyal shrew, openly mocks Patrick in front of Stephen and Lisa.  and Lisa probably says something about that time she put one foot in Kevin Bacon's car and the other foot in like...Chris Penn's car I think and dared an 18 wheeler to hit her, all because her dad wouldn't let her dance.

Kelly's:  Kristina and Ethan hang out and pretend that statutory rape is not a thing.  Sam finds them and is alarmed and asks Ethan why he's encouraging a child who has a crush on him. 

Jason's penthouse:  Jason gently says that Sonny has been the worst father ever and dove for Kate and not Michael, and ignores his children, and wouldn't recognize his daughter if he bought her a blue gown and let her win at craps, but he wants to take this one risk, that's not at all risky BECAUSE NO ONE IS EVER CONVICTED IN PORT CHARLES, so let Sonny do this, and that will wash away decades of horribleness, and then he'll be a hero just like Capn Sully or firefighters or Haeley Vaughn.

Metrocourt:  So, Clair Walsh is a name that's going to be mentioned constantly.  She's the new attorney and blah blah Jax thinks she can take down Sonny.  even though if you put Sonny in Jason Secret Box of Pain, even Jason wouldn't be able to take him down. 

Courtroom:  Diane blathers to the judge.  Sonny demands that Diane ask for a recess.  Alexis and Diane say it's a bad idea.  Sonny insists b/c he's going to get out of here.  Diane asks to speak to her client.  Alexis calls Sonny hotshot and says "you just showed everyone in this court how you roll."  This is suspenseful like when Vanna has turned over the letters A L L   T H E  K I N G S   _ E N.

Kelly's:  Ethan says he's not encouraging Kristina, he's being nice to a messed up kid with daddy issues and a messed up boyfriend.  I love that song.  Does Shania or Carrie sing it?  Kristina comes back and Ethan says he doesn't want to lead her on, and she's a sweet girl, but she's too young.  He says no more poker.  He leaves, and Kristina blames Sam.

Corinthaus:  Sonny calls Jason and says he needs him.  Jason tells Max to make sure Michael stays away from the courthouse.

Courtroom:  Alexis asks Clair Newby why she was put on the case.  She sees Jax and realizes he's behind it.  She asks what he's done.

Courthouse:  Diane yells at Sonny.  Sonny says this recess is the only thing between him and a prison cell, and he's not going. 

Dante's room:  Dante didn't think the trial would be so soon (he's got a subpoena)  Looloo was attacked by a Bedazzler.  Robin visits and wants to share something with him about Sonny.  My guess is it's not how he took advantage of a brain damaged boy, but rather how he got another young boy to stay in the mob and then was nice to him when he got HIV.  "Sure, Dante, maybe Sonny will shoot you from time to time, but he can also be really nice.   There's this guy Jerry Jax, and he shot me in the leg once, but because sometimes he's nice to people, I'm his biggest fan and would be so happy to be his daughter."

Johnny and Looloo run into each other, but I missed what he says to her.

Courthouse hallway:  Diane says she doesn't want to know what he's planning, but she needs him to behave in the courtroom.  Jason shows up.  Anyway, the stupid thing happening on the show now is that Sonny "I won't abandon my children" Corinthos has remembered, that "oh, wait, nevermind, I totally abandon my children on a regular basis and don't care if I leave them destitute" so he wants to jump bail and leave the country tonight.  and he's so annoying and arrogant about it to Jason, as if Jason hasn't been begging him to do that very thing.

Kelly's:  Kristina tells Sam she's not a baby, and she had no right to chase Ethan away, and she'll never be able to forgive her.  The irony that she's acting like a spoiled child, is of course, totally lost on her, as the irony of their obnoxiousness is often lost on 16 year old girls.

GH:  Johnny says that regardless what happens in court, he's gonna get what's coming to him really soon.

Dante's room:  Robin shows Dante a picture of her and Stone.  Does she just carry that around?  Kind of morbid.  Robin explains how two young children finding out they were HIV positive was really kind of magical and romantic b/c Sonny was so nice about it all.  Those were the days.  I naively believed that a character as complex and interesting as Sonny was capable of growth and change.  Robin says that Sonny bought the right to be though of as a good man because he donated money for the AIDS wing.  "That's who Sonny is" she says.  Patrick, meanwhile, eaveslurks and bursts angrily into the room asking to speak to her.  She wipes the Kool-Aid mustache off and follows him to the hall, while Dante contemplates that really, doesn't the world need more cop and wife killers, if they'll also be nice to people who they like?

Court Hall:  Sonny whines that going to prison was never in the bargain.  I can't bear how weak and lame Sonny is, now that Robin's reminded me of how much I used to love him.  Shut up, Stupid weak ass shadow of Sonny.

Court hall:  Jax berates Alexis for flying the Sonny banner.  Alexis whines that Sonny is K's father, and she has daddy issues.  Jax thinks all the more reason Sonny goes to prison.  Clair and Alexis talk, and Clair believes she has more ammo for her case

Haunted Star:  Johnny and Ethan get all conspire-y.

Corinthaus:  Max tries to distract Michael with March Madness picks, but Michael shuts him down.  Kristina stops by and is annoyed that Michael is still taking their dad's side and wanting to confess for killing Claud.  She points out that Sonny is boring and lame and always wins to the point that it's clownish, so just let him take the hit for this one thing this one time.

Nurse's station:  Patrick lets Robin have it for using Stone's memory, not to do anything for Dante, but to defend and help Sonny.  Robin says she did do it for Sonny, but she doesn't see why Dante should feel guilty for hurting Sonny.  Patrick snaps that it's none of her business.  Word, Patrick.  Now divorce that annoying dreck of a person, and go rescue your true love from Shadybrook! 

Dante's room:  Loo shows up with court clothes for Dante.  He tells her about Robin's story of Stone and the romantical HIV wing, and now he's conflicted.

Commercials

Jason's Penthouse:  Jason and Sam gossip about how blah blah Sonny's bail may be revoked and Jason is going to break him out.

Courtroom:  Diane argues that Sonny's ties are here, and he's close to his 4 children.  Alexis mutters something and pisses off the judge. 

Haunted Star:  Ethan says he gets that Johnny wants payback for what  Sonny did to Claud.  He understands b/c even though he's known Looloo for a year, he would want to kill anyone who hurt her.  Johnny says Sonny in prison is not good enough.  He wants to take away everything that matters to him "and that starts and ends with his power"  He wants him to end up in prison, or maybe crazy, but definitely alone. 

Dante's Room:  Dante is dressed for court.  Patrick shows up and signs Dante's discharge papers.  Dante says he thought Patrick is friends with Sonny.  Patrick says he used to be friends with him.  He says it's none of his business.  Looloo says that's refreshing.  Patrick says Dante needs to do whatever he needs to live with himself. 


Nurse's Station:  Dante and Loo go to the elevator, and Stephen says he hasn't signed off on his release.  dante says Patrick took care of it.  Robin is indignant.  She says he just wanted him out of the hospital so he could testify against Sonny.  Patrick nods angrily and says "yeah!  That too."  Robin is sad that she married a man who doesn't love murderers the way she loves murderers.  Which makes sense as every single day of her life is a miracle.  It makes sense that she chooses to be loyal to people who callously end life as part of their daily routine.  Like returning emails is to me.

Commercials

Jason's Penthouse: Sam and Jason are going to work together to bust Sonny out.  I foresee a cheesy hooker wig!

Haunted Star:  Johnny asks Ethan if he's in to go after Sonny.  Um, why the hell would Ethan care enough to want to kill Sonny?  for cash?  gross!

Nurse's Station:  Robin snaps that Patrick tried to undermine her.  He says "didn't try.  I did."  heh.  Patrick points out that no matter who else Sonny has been polite to, he shot an unarmed man, point blank.  Robin mutters something, and Patrick repeats it's not her business.  It's Dante's choice.  He storms off while Robin shakes her head in disgust. 

Court House:  Clair makes claims that Sonny is ruthless,self serving, and his plans don't include a life sentence in prison, and he will run the first chance.  Dante and Looloo show up.  Clair says Dante is here to outline Sonny's off shore holdings.  Sonny shakes his head, disgusted, all "geeze, shoot a person one time..."

the end
