–Lulu’s desciption of her favorite memory.

Recaplet for Monday, November 20, 2006:
Elizabeth gets Jason back to her art studio.
Laura and Family discuss her slide back into mental illness.
Sam’s in jail.

Spencer House
Lulu comes running back inside and up to her room but Laura stops her. She doesn’t want any of them to blame Luke. Lulu can’t believe that Laura’s not angry. Laura is but not at Luke. Luke did exactly what she would’ve wanted him to do. And she’s glad he didn’t say anything because all the moments that have happened to them since the got better wouldn’t had a shadow cast on them. They’d be moments of sadness instead of happiness. Nikolas wants to know how long she has left.

DAs Office
Sonny pulls the trigger but the gun doesn’t fire. Ric threatens to arrest him. Sonny says there are no witnesses. Ric brings up Cruz, but Sonny says that Ric was fine when Cruz left and he’s fine now. Ric can’t believe Sonny would’ve killed him. Sonny says they can keep playing until Fate’s not on Ric’s side. He leaves.

Lake House
Alexis brings Kristina home but she’s unresponsive.

Old Sailor’s Chapel
Elizabeth tries to use Jason’s cell to call for help but it’s waterlogged. When she tries to go to her car to call for help, Jason stops her. No cops, he says. She can’t carry him and he needs a doctor. He says he trusts her.

Spencer House
Laura knew something was wrong but she thought it was the after effect of LS-49. Lulu doesn’t want Laura to leave, she can’t handle losing her again. Everyone starts crying. Even now, a week later, I’m sitting here teary eyed.

The Compound
Carly waxes nostalgic about Jason. Jax tells her to rest so she can be strong for her kids. It’s what Jason would want. She says that Jax is right and she’s going to do what Jason would want her to.

Art Studio
Elizabeth manages to get Jason to her old art studio. She takes a look at his leg. The bullet’s still in there. He wants her to get it out. She’s all “Dude, I’m not a doctor!” He’s all “I don’t care.”

Lake House
Sonny comes over to see Kristina and give her a present. Alexis fills him in on what happened. He tries talking to Kristina but she’s unresponsive. He gets a call from Elizabeth.

PCPD
Mac tells Sam that the GRT (gunpowder residue test, for those of you who don’t watch any sort of police or CSI shows on tv) proves that she fired a gun and ballistics will match the slug in Diego. She says that Diego was shooting at them. Mac tells her that he called the hospital and Kristina hadn’t been admitted. She asks about Jason. Mac says they haven’t found a body. Carly comes in and says she’ll take care of whatever Sam needs.

Spencer House
Laura doesn’t want to dwell on bad times. Lucky says that she was always able to find the bright side of things. Laura doesn’t want them to feel guilty about anything they’ve said to her over the past couple of days. She doesn’t want them to burden themselves with her either. Lulu seems hurt that Laura wouldn’t want them to visit her. She tells them to visit her if it makes them feel better but not out of any obligation to her. She’ll be in a good place, not hurting, so they don’t need to worry about her. Nikolas wants to know what Laura wants from them to make her happy right now. She says memories.

Art Studio
Sonny shows up. He talks to Jason a bit and then tells Elizabeth that he can’t risk moving Jason or bringing a doctor to him so she’s going to have to get the bullet out. She’s not thrilled with that idea. She doesn’t have the training or the instruments. Sonny guilts her into it.

Spencer House
Laura recounts some memories. She wants to hear their memories. Luke says ones that preferably don’t paint him as a bad guy. Lulu recalls her 7th birthday party. They were all together as a family and it was a good day.

Lake House
Jax comes to visit Kristina. He tells her a story about the Queen of the Outback.

PCPD
Mac tells Carly to visit Sam now while she can. Carly goes into the interrogation room. The first words out of Sam’s mouth are about Jason. Carly says she knew Jason would end up dying to protect Sam. She wants to know exactly what happened. Sam tells her. God, I really dislike Sam. I know, I know. I’ve said it many times before but damn she is annoying. I don’t know if it’s the way her character is written or if it’s the actress (who I know I don’t like) or both, but man. She is whiny and needy and clingy.

DAs Office
Alcazar bursts into the office and wants to know what Ric’s going to do about the whole situation. Ric regrets the loss of Diego’s life but they have the murderer in custody and she will be prosecuted. Alcazar says Diego was killed doing Ric’s dirty work. Ric sympathizes but Alcazar knew how dangerous this business was when he brought Diego into the fold. Alcazar warns Ric that if he isn’t part of the solution, he can be removed, along with Sam and Sonny. He leaves.

Art Studio
Elizabeth manages to get the bullet out but is worried that Jason could still die from her botched attempt at surgery or the germs she’s subjected him to. Sonny tells her she did a good job and leaves.

Spencer House
They’re all looking at photo albums. They remember Foster (awww!).  Laura blanks for a moment and when she comes back, says that she wants this to be the best Christmas ever. Luke gently reminds her that they have to get through Turkey Day first. She gets upset and walks outside. Luke goes after her. They talk on the porch. I can’t even begin to recap their conversation. First of all, I think I might start crying again. Second, it’s quite lengthy and very poignant.

PCPD
Ric accuses Sam of traumatizing Kristina.

The Compound
Sonny walks in and immediately Carly is all over him about helping Sam. He calms her down and tells her that Jason is alive. She’s so relieved, she hugs him.

Art Studio
Elizabeth is stroking Jason’s hair. He wakes up for a minute, she tells him that she got the bullet out, he thanks her and then falls back asleep.
