Not Starbucks – Office
Sonny tells her that this is a private office. Diane cautions Sonny to be tactful. Sonny refuses. Kate says she’ll be happy to pay for the call. In fact, she’ll be happy to pay for the whole phone. Sonny tells her that this isn’t a phone booth. Kate haughtily says that maybe she didn’t explain herself. She needs to make a call. Sonny says that maybe he wasn’t clear because he said no. Diane tells Kate that she’ll have to excuse Sonny as he’s a private person and it threw him when she just walked in. He’s usually much more gracious. Kate says the storm is wreaking havoc with the cell phones. They were lost and saw this place. Sonny says that’s the problem right there. They don’t need a phone, they need a GPS. Kate reiterates one more time that she needs to make this phone call. Sonny has to keep his phone line open for business. Kate tells Diane she should introduce her client to the miracle of call waiting. She and her assistant leave. Diane calls out after them that it was lovely meeting her. She closes the door and asks Sonny if he knows who that was. Sonny doesn’t. Diane says that Kate Howard is the Editor in Chief of Couture, the bible of fashion. Sonny says that explains her God complex. Diane says that she’s also one of the 100 Most Powerful Women In America. Sonny says that she should be able to afford a decent phone then. So now GH is stealing The Devil Wears Prada too.

GH – OR 3
The Baby cries. Kelly tells Elizabeth that someone’s crying for her so she needs to pull through. They shock Elizabeth one more time. She stabilizes. Epiphany nods up to Jason. Kelly says that it’s too bad the dad wasn’t there for moral support.

Car
Jerry 2.0 asks if there’s a problem (in his southern accent). Lucky tells him it’s not a good night to be out. Jerry 2.0 says he’s trying to get to a sick friend. Lucky asks if he knows Jerry 2.0. Before Jerry 2.0 can answer, Lucky gets a call to go to another accident. He tells Jerry 2.0 that there’s a tree down in the road ahead so he advises him to go home and get out of the rain. Lucky goes back to his car. Jerry 2.0 puts his gun in his coat pocket.

GH – 5th Floor Nikolas’ Room
Patrick tells Emily that Nikolas is still alive but it doesn’t look good. Emily says he’ll make it. Robin and Patrick go to the lab. Emily stays with Nikolas, telling him that she loves him and telling him to hold on a while longer. She says she can’t lose both her dad and him. Lulu shows up and asks what happened. Was there an accident? Emily says it was a reaction to a toxin and that Robin and Patrick are doing what they can to help him. Lulu doesn’t get why Patrick is helping. Emily says they’re the 2 doctors on duty and they’re doing what they can. Lulu says Emily says that like Nikolas might not make it.

Not Starbucks – Café
Sonny says that he didn’t take Diane for someone who impressed easily. Diane says that Kate Howard is an influential and powerful woman who got that way without being an actress or model. Diane wanted to be a mover and shaker among the fashion elite when she was younger. Sonny says he could see that. Diane says that she went the safe route into Law. And speaking of law, she starts to tell him about a hypothetical situation again when in walks Kate and her assistant. Kate says they’re car is now dead and they need to call to get another one. Sonny needs to keep his lines open. Kate asks him what will sway him if money won’t. Sonny says that’s a loaded question.

GH – 5th Floor Nurses’ Station
Patrick asks if there have been any calls for him or about Nikolas. The Nurse says no. Robin asks if he still thinks that Jerry 2.0 will show up. Patrick and Robin then place blame on themselves about failing Nikolas. Patrick gets a call. It’s Jerry 2.0. He asks how Nikolas is. Is he still alive? Patrick says he is. He calls Jerry 2.0 a sick freak. Jerry 2.0 tsk-tsks him and tells him that’s not the way to talk to the man who holds Nikolas’ life in his hands.

Penthouse
Sam doesn’t want to leave because she has a bad feeling. Amelia 2.0 can’t believe Sam would blow off the network over a bad feeling. Sam says it’s just a party. Amelia 2.0 says it’s the premiere. Sam says so what? Amelia 2.0 pulls rank and tells Sam she has to go. Sam’s all “you’re not the boss of me.” Actually, she kinda is. Amelia 2.0 says that Sam would be in breach of her contract. Sam doesn’t care and tells Amelia 2.0 to sue her. Amelia 2.0 tells Sam not to be adversarial. Sam asks if Amelia 2.0 would tell Jason about her past. Amelia 2.0 says she’s not the enemy. She thinks Sam would be used to this part of Jason’s life. Sam says you never get used to it. Amelia 2.0 points out that Sam signed up for many sleepless night. The payout to protect Sam from her past was a good faith gesture on her part. She can’t believe Sam would bail on her and leave her to clean up the mess.

GH – ICU Elizabeth’s Room
Jason asks Epiphany how Elizabeth is. Epiphany says that she’s in guarded condition. She tells him it’s a good thing he got to Elizabeth when he did. She asks if he called Lucky. Jason says no, there wasn’t time. Epiphany leaves to go make the call. Jason looks at a sleeping Elizabeth, tells her that they have a son. A nurse brings in Baby Boy. Jason picks him up. He’s overcome with emotion. Elizabeth wakes up. She says his name. He asks if she’s okay. She is. She asks how her son is. Jason asks how she knew it was a boy. She points out the blue blanket. Jason hands over Baby Boy to Elizabeth. He tells her he had forgotten how light they are. Elizabeth jokes that he didn’t have to carry him around for 9 months. She says she already loves him. Jason knows what she means.

GH – Supply Closet
Patrick comes in. Jerry 2.0 tells him to shut the door and lock it. Patrick complies. Patrick demands the counter agent. Jerry 2.0 doesn’t care for his tone. Patrick says that Jerry 2.0 still needs Nikolas. Jerry 2.0 worries about being predictable. Patrick is sick of Jerry 2.0 pulling the strings. Jerry 2.0 calls him ill mannered and he won’t have it. He cocks his gun. He agrees that he’d rather keep Nikolas alive for a bit longer but there’s something to be said for a challenge. Patrick doesn’t get what Jerry 2.0 is on about. Jerry 2.0 says that Patrick is a man of science. His life is structured. Jerry 2.0 likes the rush of the unknown, to have to think on his feet. Patrick: “Until you’ve opened up a skull and looked at a brain, you have no idea what it’s like to think on your feet.” Jerry 2.0 wonder if he should just stike out on his own. Patrick says he enjoys the game too much so until he wins or loses, he won’t go. No one’s called the cops, no one’s said anything to anyone so he could still win. Jerry 2.0 wonders if that’s all enough to make him stick around. He’s not sure.

Not Starbucks – Café
Sonny tells Kate that maybe they can have someone look under the hood of her car. Only he says it in a really cocky, smarmy way with innuendo. Icky. Kate asks to speak with him privately. He leads her into the office. Clarice (the assistant) asks if she can get decaf. Diane asks if she can get a discount on a skirt on page 63. ha!

Not Starbucks – Office
Kate tells him that he understands what it’s like in business so she wont’bore him. Sonny says that’s the first thing she’s said that’s made sense. Kate says that she’s got an issue about to miss its deadline unless she can make her phone call. She offers to get him a designer dress for his wife, his girlfriend, both if necessary. Sonny asks her where he knows her from because there’s something familiar about her. Kate says that she’s everywhere in the media. Sonny says he doesn’t watch tv except for boxing. Kate snidely says that’s refreshing and tells him that he can watch her make a call. Sonny: “Or you can go look for another phone. Kate: “Or?” Sonny says that she can tell him a bit about herself. Kate asks what he wants to know, her favorite flower? color? Sonny asks where she grew up. She says in a little town outside Fairfield, Connecticut called Wilton. Sonny’s not buying it. Kate is annoyed that an entire issue is going to fall apart because she got lost looking for property in the rain. Sonny asks why property. She ignores the question and says she’s a private woman and just wants to use the phone. He tells her to go ahead but when she asks him to leave, says he’s not going anywhere. Clarice says that no one’s allowed in the room when Ms. Howard makes her calls. Kate tells Clarice to let it go. She then orders her to get Jean Claude on the phone, get her a latte and hang up her coat. Kate gets on the phone and speaks with Jean Claude about timing and other stuff that I can’t really make out (who knew my high school and college French would come in this handy?). Clarice brings in the coffee and hands Kate a sugar packet. Kate fiddles with it and this triggers Sonny’s memory. “Connecticut, my ass! You’re Connie Falconeri from Bensonhurst.”

GH – 5th Floor Nikolas’ Room
Lulu tells Nikolas not to give up. Who’s going to teach Spencer about being a Cassadine? They all need him and love him. And most of all, Laura needs him to save her from Scotty. Robin comes in from the lab. They’ve got nothing. Lulu says they can’t just stand there and talk like they can’t do anything for him. Patrick runs in and puts the counter agent in the IV. Emily pulls Lulu out of the room. Robin asks what happened. Patrick says that Jerry 2.0 showed up and gave him the counter agent. Robin says they can’t be sure that it’s the counter agent. Patrick says it doesn’t matter. Nikolas is dead either way.

GH – ER

GH – ICU Elizabeth’s Room

He asks what happened. Elizabeth says there was a power outage and Jason found her. Lucky wonders why Jason was there. Jason says he was checking up on Elizabeth because of the power outage. I meant to ask this yesterday but why would Lucky stop off at the Spencer House before he was set to go kill Alcazar? Lucky thanks Jason. Jason says no problem but Lucky is busy coo’ing over Baby Boy. Jason leaves.

GH – 5th Floor Nurses’ Station
Patrick says the counter agent is working. Robin says that he had more faith in Jerry 2.0 than she did. Patrick said it was faith in Jerry 2.0’s need of Nikolas. Patrick’s going to take Nikolas off the respirator. Robin goes out into the hallway and tells Emily and Lulu that it worked. Nikolas is off life support. She asks them to give them a couple of minutes and then they can come in. Robin goes back in. Emily and Lulu hug each other. Kelly comes by and assumes they’ve heard the good news. Lulu is all “good news?” Kelly tells them about Elizabeth and Baby Boy and it was a good thing Jason found her and brought her in.

Okay. Quite frankly this whole scene bored me so I’m not going to bother really recaping it. I’ll give you the short version. Amelia 2.0 got them on another flight. Sam acts like a bratty teenager and doesn’t want to go and Amelia 2.0 can’t make her. Amelia 2.0 says otherwise. She says that if Sam doesn’t dream, she can’t fail, so is this Sam’s way of making sure she doesn’t fail? Sam says she has a great life with Jason. Amelia 2.0 says it’s easier to be supportive rather than following through on a committment. Sam realizes that Amelia 2.0 is right so she grabs a bag and they leave.

GH – 5th Floor Nikolas’ Room
Lulu tells Nikolas not to scare her like that. Nikolas says his throat hurts. Patrick says it was from the respirator. Lulu tells Nikolas that Lucky’s baby boy was born. Nikolas tells her to go see him. Lulu promises to take lots of pictures and leaves. Nikolas asks why he’s still alive. Patrick says that Jerry 2.0 came back with the counter agent. He kept a little of it so that they can analyze it and turn this around on Jerry 2.0.

Cottage
