I don’t have Thursday’s recap. I was all set to watch the Thursday repeat on SoapNet today. I caught the first 10 minutes and then the next thing I know, the show’s pretty much over. I had fallen asleep! That’s what I get for getting up at 6am.

Anyways, from what I did catch and based on Friday’s episode, here’s what I’m guessing happened: Alexis is being put in a drug induced coma to help combat the pneumonia, so she makes everyone come to her so she can say good-bye just in case. Liz finds a pill on the floor and figures out that Lucky is still using.
Lulu’s still going to have the abortion.

And now on to the recap for Friday, September 15, 2006.
#1
Q Mansion.
Luke tells Lulu he can have her out of the country in 10 minutes. She says she made her bed in Port Charles so she’ll have to deal with lying in it in PC. Dillon comes in and wants to know if anything’s changed. Lulu tells Dillon not to start with her because it won’t change her mind. Luke says it’ll most definitely get him tossed out on his skinny little butt. Dillon says he’d just like to talk to Lulu alone. Luke: “I’ll be just outside in case he tries to put the screws to you. [pause] Oh. My choice of words was unfortunate there.” Dillon apologizes to Lulu for the way he’s been treating her. He realizes that it was her choice all along and that he shouldn’t have tried to pressure her. He offers her a ride to the clinic but she declines. They both agree that they wish things between them had turned out different. Lulu goes upstairs to change. Edwards comes into the room. Dillon warns him to not pull any stunts. Edward tells Dillon that he’s proud that Dillon stood up like a man.Out on the patio, Tracy finds Luke in deep thought. She berates him for not calling her that he was back. They talk, she tells him her feelings: that she’s in the absurd position of envying Lulu. Lulu’s making a momentous decision but she had the support of her father, which is more than Tracy ever had (well, to be fair Tracy, Lulu’s never withheld her father’s heart medication while he was having an attack [which turned out to be fake] to get more money out of him either). She does believe that Lulu’s making a mistake by terminating the pregnancy. But Tracy wants to know what Luke thinks. Luke says he’ll stand by Lulu’s decision no matter what.

Later, Luke drives Lulu to the clinic but she tells him she wants to do this alone and asks him to go visit Laura for her.

Luke “talks” to Laura about his feelings about Lulu and his past experience in the brothel with abortions.

#2
Elizabeth’s.
Nikolas comes over and Elizabeth shows him the pills. She cries that Lucky chose the pills over her and that she’s leaving him tonight. Nikolas agrees that Lucky has to go into rehab and asks what Elizabeth wants to do. She tells him that she’ll support him but that she can’t deal with it. She’s got Cam to think about and she can’t have her child around Lucky. Nikolas leaves to go find Lucky.
Elizabeth packs and there are flashbacks to her wedding, her finding Lucky in bed with Maxie, and her night with Jason.
Lucky comes in to the apartment, agitated, wanting to know if she was going to leave a note. Elizabeth tells him that she told him a long time ago what would happen if she found out he was still using. He grabs her and tells her that he’ll never let her leave him. She says she doesn’t want to fight with him and tries to leave.

#3
Kelly’s – upstairs.
Maxie wants to know that Lucky really does care for her and isn’t just with her because she can get him pills. She says that there’s no one else in the room so he can be honest about how he feels about her. He tells her that she’s the only thing in his life that makes sense. They kiss (ewww!) and get to having the sex.
After, Lucky keeps checking his watch. Maxie wants to know if she’s keeping him and he says that Lulu’s having her abortion at 7pm. He pops a pill. Nikolas kicks the door in, calls Lucky a fool and tells him that he deserves everything bad that’s happening to him. Nikolas says that Elizabeth is in the process of leaving him. Lucky snits that Liz would never leave him because they took vows (uh-huh…like you took vows Lucky?).#4
GH.
Sam and Ric run after Sonny and catch up to him at the elevators. Sam begs him not to upset Kristina. Sonny says he doesn’t trust Ric and he’s starting to have his doubts about Sam. Ric wants to know if Sonny really believes that Alexis hadn’t thought through every contingency plan and found the current situation to be the best for all involved. Sonny says that she didn’t because she didn’t know about the Ric sleeping with Sam part. Ric shoots back that Sonny slept with Sam and had a child with her (sure, but not while he was married to Alexis and not to get back at Jason). Sam interrupts that it’s not about them, it’s about Kristina and Molly. She promises Sonny that she’ll protect Kristina. Sonny relents and leaves. Ric appreciates the support but Sam tells him to shove it. She did it for the girls, not for him.

Alexis’ house.
Ric offers Sam a drink. She is incredulous that he would offer. She sets him straight and tells him she doesn’t trust him. He tells her to quit buying into Sonny’s propaganda and honor Alexis’ wishes.
Later, Sam gets Kristina to sleep and Ric tells her to dial back the animosity; it rolls off her in waves. She says he should respect the resentment because if he steps an inch too far off center, she’ll make 2 calls. The first will be to Sonny to have him take Kristina away. The second will be to Nikolas. She’ll tell him all about them and make him file for a temporary custody order to take Molly away. Ric warns her to never threaten to take away his child. Sonny comes over and wants to see Kristina right away.

#5.
Carly’s.
Jax is clearly shaken after having seen Alexis. He tells Carly that seeing Alexis broke his heart and made him realize that he’s been an idiot. He doesn’t want to waste anymore time. Carly knows that Jax’s instinct is to hold on tighter to those around him because of his grief over maybe losing Alexis so she gives him a free pass on any promises he might make. They kiss. There’s a knock at the door. It’s Sonny. He’s agitated and wants to talk to Carly alone. Jax tells Sonny he should get used to him being at Carly’s but he does leave.
Sonny wants Carly to come with him to take Kristina away from the house. Alexis was the ace in the hole to make sure that Ric stayed on his best behavior but if Alexis dies, Ric might explode at any moment. Carly thinks that leaving Kristina there for now is the best course of action. She agrees that Ric is trash but that uprooting Kristina right now might prove traumatic. Sonny argues that when his dad left and he got stuck with an abusive stepdad it was devastating for him, but Carly says that Kristina won’t be alone.
Jax comes back later and Carly admits to him that she doesn’t want to waste time either. They start to kiss and are interrupted by the boys.
