BTW, the beginning sequence, when they rehash the part where Sam climbs on the ledge, jumps down, and warns the cops? There’s little variations to it every day but not enough for me to comment on them as of yet.

THE FOLLOWING TAKES PLACE BETWEEN 3:00PM-4:00PM.
tick-tick…tick-tick…tick-tick…

Metro Court – Lobby
Lucky walks in and is stopped by CJC. CJC spins yarn about being nervious when he sees police in a hotel b/c it makes him feel unsafe; he asks about the hotel security. Lucky says he’s off duty but assures CJC that the hotel has state of the art security measures. CJC leaves. Maxie comes up to him and tells him that Elizabeth has a gorgeous dress for the charity event but it’s too bad that Elizabeth’s not happy about going with him. Lucky tells her to shut it so she stalks off.

Audrey’s House
Elizabeth comes home to find Emily waiting for her. Emily asks Elizabeth if she’s ok with going to the benefit with Lucky. Elizabeth says it doesn’t matter what she wants, apparently, since everyone seems determined to push her and Lucky together. Everyone’s pushing from A to Z and skipping the steps in between. Emily asks if Elizabeth really wants to be alone of if she wants to be with Jason. Elizabeth says her feelings for Jason are complicated. Emily tells her not to hold out hope for a life with Jason because he’s not leaving Sam.

Penthouse
Carly’s boo-hoo’ing to Jason about Sonny. Jason doesn’t want to help Carly since he’s in the middle of something with Sam (and because he’s heard this about 80 billion times before), but Sam says Carly needs him more so she goes back to work. Carly tells Jason about Sonny’s deception. Jason leaves a message for Diane. Carly wants Jason to fulfill his promise and take her to the Dominican Republic to get a divorce.

Kelly’s Diner
Dillon tells Georgie he’s officially a film major again. She’s happy for him. He wants to celebrate by taking in a film festival. She can’t because she’s got plans with Pete. He gets mad and she gets mad at him for being mad at her. Georgie says that his point of view about Pete and her is degrading. She says their relationship is taking too much work. Dillon says relationships take work but Georgie says it hurts too much to keep trying. Dillon tries to explain why they should fight for each other. Lulu and Spinelli run in and tell Dillon they need him since they’ve hit a major development. Georgie tells him to go on, but he says he’d rather be with her. She tells him to grow up and tell the truth.

Bridge Over The River Charles
Nikolas meets Lucky. Why is he there? Lucky asks if he’s putting too much pressure on Elizabeth? Nikolas says Lucky can’t just snap his fingers and be in a happy marriage again. Lucky admits to swiping the bottle of pills then throwing them away. Nikolas says that Lucky’s got a huge support group so if Elizabeth doesn’t go his way, he won’t be alone. Lucky says Elizabeth and baby are his reasons for staying sober. Isn’t one of the main edicts in any addiction rehab group is that you can’t get sober for someone else, you have to do it for yourself?

Metro Court – Lobby
Maxie makes small talk with Sam. Sam’s distracted. Maxie asks if Sam can sneak her on to the guest list for the benefit. Sam says she’ll try. Maxie finally cottons to the fact that Sam’s not herself and asks if she’s okay. Sam says she’s had a really bad day. Maxie asks if she can help. Sam says no one can help.

GH – 4th Floor
Patrick watches a mom and son in the waiting area. Robin comes up and says Alan wants them to wait to discuss the results. Patrick talks about a memory that related to the results. Robin says she’ll be there with him. He tells her not to feel sorry for him. She says she’ll just love him. She’ll still be bossy and insecure and their relationship will still be the same but she won’t look at him any differently if he is or isn’t HIV+. He doesn’t do that to her so she won’t with him.

Audrey’s House
Elizabeth asks Emily if she thinks Elizabeth would be better for Jason than Sam. Emily’s not sure but things would be different if the baby was Jason’s because he would love her and the baby and Cam. He keeps his promises and he’s made them to Sam. Elizabeth says there’s just no easy decision. Emily says she’ll support Elizabeth no matter what. Elizabeth says someone’s bound to get hurt.

Metro Court – Front Desk
CJC tells Sam that he’s got valuables that he’d rather not keep in his room but he’s wary of the hotel safe because he’s had stuff stolen before. She assures him that they have a state of the art vault. He asks for a tour. She says they don’t give tours of the vault but assures him that it’s virtually impossible to break in. He thanks her and leaves.

Penthouse
Carly’s still railing against Sonny for the way he tricked her. Jason says the Alcazar threat is real. Carly says Sonny’s already turning on the charm. Jason’s all “Crap! You told him you knew he lied?” Carly’s all “Uh, duh! Why wouldn’t I?” Knock at the door. It’s Milo. Sonny won’t give him Carly’s passport. That’s why, Carly. Why didn’t Carly take her passport with her when she left Greystone? I assume it was there and not the Cottage. Carly isn’t fazed. She calls Bernie, only he’s been given orders by Sonny not to make her a fake passport. Carly is furious. She says Sonny will pay big time. Jason says she can file in NY, but she whines that it’ll take too long. Jason says that if she loves Jax, there’s no way Sonny can get to her. Carly disagrees. She and Sonny have a history, but she can’t give in. Jason says she has to work this out for herself. She tells Jason she’ll stay at the Metro Court for the next couple of days. She leaves. Jason gets a call from someone in the organization about a ship from Blackstar Industries. He says he’ll go to the bridge to check it out.

Bridge Over The River Charles
Lucky looks at ring, smiles, and leaves. Seriously, the most. pointless. scene. ever. I mean, it took me longer to write down what happened than it actually took to execute the scene.

Kelly’s Diner
Spinelli sasy Rick’s accounts have been closed for years so it might be easier to check Alan’s accounts. Lulu says that means they do need Dillon. Spinelli says Dillon’s tied up with the Other Woman. Lulu jokingly warns him about calling Georgie that. Lulu and Dillon are just friends. Spinelli says Dillon’s not her destiny anyways. She asks him how he knows that then says she doesn’t want to know.

At the counter, Dillon’s still trying to fight for Georgie. Lulu interrupts to ask Dillon for his help. Pete shows up. Georgie starts to leave but Dillon grabs her arm and swears that he doesn’t have to help Lulu. Pete didn’t realize Georgie had plans. She says she didn’t have any plans except for with Pete. They leave. Dillon sits with Lulu. She apologizes for the Georgie thing. He says it was her choice, not his. He asks what they need. Spinelli says they need access to Alan’s banking history. Does he have a PDA? Dillon says he does. Lulu tells him they need to steal it.

GH – 4th Floor
Alan says the test results were inconclusive because they couldn’t get a reading on the antibodies. Robin wonders if someone at the lab made a mistake. Alan says it’s a possibility and he’d like to schedule Patrick for another test asap. Patrick tells Alan to hold off for now. Robin’s all “Wha? No way! You need to know now!” Patrick wants to wait another month. Robin says that he’s not buying a couch, this is his life. Patrick agrees that it’s his life so he’ll wait. Robin isn’t happy. Yeah, I’m not too thrilled about it either.

Metro Court – Front Desk
Kelly drops off some paperwork for Robin. Sam takes the opportunity to ask Kelly about Dr. Reed’s prognosis. Kelly agrees: Sam can’t get pregnant and if she did, she couldn’t carry to term.

Kelly’s Diner
Dillon’s all “You want me to steal Alan’s PDA?” Lulu says it’s the only way they’ll know for sure. Dillon says he can’t do it tonight since the Qs all have to go to that charity thing. Lulu does too. They decide the charity benefit would be a good time to do it. Spinelli’s excited at the prospect of a social engagement in which he can wear his tuxedo t-shirt, but Lulu kiboshes that. They can’t risk Alan recognizing Spinelli. Spinelli’s bummed. My notes here say: “light bulb over Dill & Lu. event perfect cover. Spin tux shirt.” If I wrote all my recaps like that, would that be hard to follow? Dillon wonders if Alan even did it. Lulu asks who else it could’ve been. Spinelli points out that Rick was getting money from a lot of different sources, so it could’ve been anyone.

Metro Court
Scotty checks in under the last name of London.

Carly tells Marty to kick whoever’s in the Presidential Suite out and comp their stay and charge it to Sonny. She turns around and runs into CJC, who turns on the charm. I’ll admit, I do find him quite attractive. It’s mainly the English accent.

Bridge Over The River Charles
Jason runs into Elizabeth. What’s she doing there? Same old, same old. Jason tells her to focus on her and what she needs for a change.
