–Spinelli, to Lulu. (paraphrased because I don’t have my notes in front of me)

Recaplet for Friday, May 11, 2007:

• Jax has Lady Jane set up a meeting for him to go see Jerry 2.0.
• Elizabeth wakes up right before Jason is about to spill the beans to Lucky.
• Ric brings a picture of “James Craig” to Carly. Morgan later sees the picture and says that it’s Jerry 2.0

Carly wonders why Jax isn’t going to go after Jerry 2.0. Jax says that he made a commitment to Carly so Jerry 2.0 will have to fend for himself. Carly says it makes her crazy that he was in the house and told The Boys to lie. Jax says he would defend the lives of The Boys over his own brother. He explains how The Boys met Jerry 2.0. Carly says that The Boys know that they can come to their parents with anything which means it’s only a matter of time before Sonny finds out. Jax just wants a bit of time to find out why Jerry 2.0 is in town.

GH – Nikolas’ Room
Jerry 2.0 says that he knew the poison would only be leverage for a short period of time but he didn’t expect them to duplicate the counter agent so quickly. Patrick sneers that they were motivated. Jerry 2.0 snits back that the loyalty is touching, but he’s got a new plan, one that involves Emily. Robin says it won’t work and they’ll just tell the police that he forced Emily. Jerry 2.0 points out that in today’s political climate, the US authorities don’t look kindly on citizens accepting money from “enemies of the state.” Emily is a co-conspirator and liable for treason, which is punishable by death. She’ll be given a trial . . . eventually. Jerry 2.0 likes this turn of events because Emily is a much better asset than Nikolas. Nikolas points out that he gave Jerry 2.0 shelter, a new identity and money, so why was it necessary to implicate Emily? Jerry 2.0 explains that neither Jason nor Sonny care about Nikolas but would move heaven and earth to keep Emily alive. She’s a powerful bargaining chip. Patrick asks why he didn’t just take the money and leave. Jerry 2.0 says he’s not sure. It must be that he likes them all. He leaves. Patrick is pissed. It’s finally over for Nikolas and now this. Robin says she would’ve done the same thing. Patrick isn’t mad at Emily. Emily says she knew what she was doing and it was worth it to protect Nikolas. Nikolas is unhappy that Jerry 2.0 now has her life in his hands.

Sonny tells Skye that the less she knows about the plans for Alcazar, the better off she’ll be. She asks him to hold off until she can get LilaRae back. Sonny tells her to do what she has to, but as soon as LilaRae is back in her arms, she won’t have to worry about Alcazar again. Skye says that she owes him an apology. During the McHostage situation, she withheld information to protect Alcazar, never thinking that he’d lie to her. It was naïve. Sonny says that Alcazar knows how to manipulate women. He did the same thing to Carly. Skye rises to leave and says that Carly was right about one thing. Sonny wouldn’t do something like this. She leaves.

GH – Elizabeth’s Room
Lucky tells Jason that he may have saved Elizabeth’s and Baby Boy’s lives but that doesn’t give him any rights to say who stays and goes. Jason says he’s not going to argue; he just wants what’s best for Baby Boy. Elizabeth wakes up and says Jason’s name. Lucky rushes to her side. My notes here say: “Lucky-Elz awake. yay!”Elizabeth asks what happened. Lucky tells her about the storm and what not. Jason tells a nurse to page Dr. Lee. Elizabeth asks if she held Baby Boy. Lucky tells her she did. He tells her about the surgery but that she’s going to be fine. Elizabeth asks where Baby Boy is. Lucky tells her that he’s in the nursery and he wanted all of them to leave GH together as a family.

GH – Nursery
Lulu is feeding Baby Boy. She and Spinelli argue over the paternity. Lulu points out that being the biological father doesn’t automatically make you the dad. Being in the kid’s life and going to their 4th grade recital when they’re a tomato makes you a dad. Lucky will do that. Spinelli points out that Jason would too. Lulu counters that Elizabeth chose Lucky. Spinelli says it physically hurts him to disagree with her but you don’t get to chose being a dad, you just are. No, Lulu had it right. Biologically, you can be a parent, but you can’t be someone’s Mom or Dad unless they’re the ones who raised you and cared for you. Lulu says Elizabeth made her choice. Spinelli thinks it was too much of her to ask.

Alcazar’s Compound I know I’ve called his compound something else but I’m not inclined to look it up right now. I really should keep a spreadsheet or something of what I call people and places.
Alcazar’s on the phone handling business when Ric walks in. He wants information on Jerry 2.0. Alcazar says he can’t remember. Ric says the Lab Techs managed to isolate a photo of Jerry 2.0. Alcazar can’t believe that Jerry 2.0 is still at large. Ric confirms it and says that he’s the only link to him. Alcazar says that if he did remember it would be that he had recovered and Ric would be using Skye against him. It’s fortunate that he’s still brain damaged or he might remember where the incriminating evidence of Ric is. Ric says that lots of folks want Alcazar dead so he might want to recover some brain cells before bad things happen. Skye comes in and asks why Ric is there. Alcazar tells her that he has a photo of Jerry 2.0. Skye says that she told the authorities all she knew. Rick leaves. Skye confirms with Alcazar that Ric’s not a threat because of the evidence. Alcazar agrees but wonders if Skye is still in cahoots with him. Skye reiterates that it was a moment of weakness. Alcazar wants to know where Skye was. She says she was at a meeting dealing wth Alan’s will. Alcazar says the nanny called. Skye asks if LilaRae is okay. Alcazar gets the nanny on the phone so Skye can talk with her. After the call, Skye tells Alcazar that a nanny is no substitute for her mother. Alcazar says he does want the 3 of them to be a family again, as soon as he can trust her again.

Lady Jane comes over, talking about Fiji. She leans in to hug Carly but stops when she sees the look on Carly’s face. She asks what’s wrong. Jax tells her that she forgot to tell them that Jerry 2.0 stopped by. Lady Jane asks if The Boys told them. Carly says that they’ve been taught not to keep secrets. Lady Jane says that Jerry 2.0 was adamant that it be kept a secret. Carly wonders why that didn’t cause Lady Jane any concern. Lady Jane insists that Jerry 2.0 would never hurt a child. Carly says that the people he works for might not have such a compunction. Lady Jane says that Jerry 2.0 wouldn’t involve them in his problems. Carly wonders why he’d lie about being there then. Lady Jane says she just wanted to protect her son. Jax says that there are limits. Lady Jane appeals to Carly by asking her if she would abandon her sons. Carly says that she’d do anything for her kids, including keeping them away from Jerry 2.0. Lady Jane says that Jerry 2.0 in involved in something huge. So big that he had to have complete plastic surgery. Jax asks how he contacted her. Lady Jane says she saw him at Rice Manor on the day of the wedding. Jax asks why Jerry 2.0 was there. Lady Jane says he wanted to see Jax get married and then say good bye. He also wanted help with a wire transfer but then changed his mind. Jax says that Jerry 2.0 might still be in town then. Carly tells Lady Jane to call Jerry 2.0 and set up a meeting. Lady Jane says this goes against her better judgement. Jax says that Jerry 2.0 isn’t a threat but he wants to be sure. Lady Jane makes the call.

GH – Elizabeth’s Room
Kelly checks out Elizabeth and says she’s stable. Lucky tells Elizabeth they were scared. Elizabeth promises that she won’t leave again.

Lulu asks if Lucky knows about Baby Boy’s paternity. Jason says no. Lulu thanks him, hugs him, and leaves. Jason’s phone rings. It’s Sonny. Jason tells Spinelli to stay out of everyone’s way and leaves.

GH – Nikolas’ Room
Nikolas tells Robin and Patrick their part is this is all over. Patrick says no way. Nikolas will need help. Robin says they’re just as invested in this now. Patrick says they should just call the cops. Nikolas says it’s too risky, for Emily. Patrick thinks the Feds will take one look at Emily’s background and know it’s ridiculous. Sorry, no. Emily has some skeleton’s in her closet. She was involved with a drug dealer in her youth. She was involved with Sonny. Her brother works for Sonny. She was involved with another guy who worked for Sonny. Not squeaky clean, this girl. Emily tells them that Jerry 2.0 chose her for a reason. She’s not above suspicion. Nikolas says that Jerry 2.0 is taking advantage of the anti-terrorism laws, knowing that Emily will get hauled to jail and the Feds will take their time establishing guilt or innocence at their timetable. Robin guesses they’ll have to play along until they can get leverage against Jerry 2.0, but isn’t sure how. Nikolas thinks the woman on Jerry 2.0’s phone is the key.

GH – Elizabeth’s Room
Lulu and Lucky talk about Baby Boy. Lucky leaves to go get him from the nursery. Spinelli thinks it’s wrong that the true father doesn’t get to be with the baby. Lulu doesn’t get all the “true father” stuff Spinelli is spouting. Oooh…some foreshadowing on the part of the writers? Spinelli says it’s a theme that resonates throughout all media. Lulu says that there’s no easy solution but Lucky and Elizabeth will be great parents and that’s what Jason wanted.

Sam and Amelia are on a high from a great premiere. Amelia says that the show will take sacrifice. Sam’s all for it. Amelia asks if that includes letting Jason go. She says that woman in Sam’s position can’t be involved with a gangster. The network doesn’t like the tie to organized crime. Sam says that Jason’s stuck by her through some horrible stuff. Amelia points out that her life is different now and that she can go back to her old life without the show, if she wants.

Sonny tells him about Alcazar and Skye and LilaRae. He doesn’t want Alcazar harmed until Skye can get her back. Jason says that Skye could be lying. Sonny says that Alcazar kidnapped his own kid.

Carly has a bad feeling. Lady Jane says it’s possible that Jerry 2.0 won’t show since he’s not very reliable.
