What I Watched Today
(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)

The Bravolympics continue, but it allowed me to see the finales of Devious Maids and UnReal in real time, instead of On Demand or an in the wee hours of the morning rerun. Devious Maids was satisfying. A lot of loose ends were sewn up sweetly – Evelyn and Julian back together and Spence’s innocence proven – and we were left with a cliffhanger – Marisol’s disappearance. UnReal was oddly disappointing. Between the show within the show, Everlasting, having a cutesy ending; and my guessing the season’s end for the production team, a possibly fatal car crash, set up by Jeremy to prove his contrition to Rachel.

Devious Maids‘ Evelyn probably had the best line of the night when she and Julian returned to what was supposed to be Julian’s wedding: Our parties do have a terrible track record.

On to the soap.

General Hospital

Jocelyn is stressed because Carly and Jax are fighting. Jax is ignoring Carly’s phone calls. Carly tells Sonny about Ava’s visit.

Morgan and Kiki take their STI medication. They clink water glasses. Ava knocks on the door. She’s not thrilled to see Morgan there.

Jax tells Bobbie about his conflict with Carly. He wants Bobbie to intervene, but she says she knows how important it is to have a complete medical history. He says when Jocelyn is an adult, she can look for the donor if she wants. Bobbie says it sounds like a compromise and she’ll consider talking to Carly, as long as Jax comes to her birthday party.

Finn says he heard there was an arrest. Elizabeth tells him Franco was released. Franco pops his head into Sam’s hospital room and asks if he can make her booboo better. Finn questions Franco’s history of violence and Elizabeth tells him that Franco had an illness and was exonerated. She’s surprised Finn isn’t more sympathetic.

Franco asks Sam if she can keep an eye on Jake, since Jason doesn’t always see things clearly in regard to his son. She asks if Elizabeth put him up to it. With soap timing, Elizabeth walks in behind him.

Bobbie sees Jason and introduces him to Jax. Bobbie invites Jason to the party. He says he can’t make it since he’s spending time with his son, but maybe he can stop by for a minute. Bobbie leaves.

Jocelyn explains to Michael about what happened with the kidney donor story and how she didn’t want the information splashed everywhere on the internet. He asks about her health and she says it hasn’t been a problem.

Carly tells Sonny that Jax is going to back off because she’s told him she’s not looking for the donor anymore.

Ava says she’s on the loose now and apparently Morgan is too. He tells her that he got the all clear from the doctors. He leaves and Ava says everything old is new again. Kiki asks if she has a problem with that, and tells Ave to cut to the chase. Ava says when she left, Kiki was excited about Dillon and she wonders about the Morgan backslide. Kiki says they’re back together, no thanks to Ava, and she knows that Ava tried to keep them apart.

Sonny questions Carly’s decision. She says that Sonny had just told her to drop it, and Sonny says that was before he found out that Jax was threatening her. Jax enters with Bobbie.

Franco leaves and Sam asks if Elizabeth heard about Nicholas. Elizabeth says yes, and Sam says for what it’s worth, he died a hero, like the guy he used to be. Elizabeth thanks her for the information and leaves.

Jake and Jason meet by the coffee shop. Jake says he was worried that Jason wouldn’t come back. Jason says he’ll always come back, and Jake says that’s what Franco told him.

Finn introduces himself to Sam as her internist. She tells him he looks just like Silas and Finn says he’d forgotten he resembled him. Me too. She tells him they dated for a while and he asks if it makes her uncomfortable. She says no.

Jake tells Jason about some art stuff. He says Franco tells him about all kinds of cool things. Jason asks when. He says when they hang out, like when he comes to see Elizabeth. Cat slowly escaping from the proverbial bag.

Franco sees Elizabeth. He gives her the portrait. He says he needs to go in another different direction now. He asks her to say hi to Jake.

Sonny asks what Jax is doing there, and Bobbie says it’s for her birthday. She wants her grandchildren and their fathers there.

Ava asks if Kiki heard it from Sonny. Kiki says she heard it from Morgan after he was released. Ava says she was trying to protect Kiki after Morgan got her shot. Kiki tells her to stop trying to guilt Morgan. Ava says Morgan is unstable and incapable of making good judgement calls for himself or anyone else. She says he’s never going to leave Kiki alone and that Kiki has to be the one to tell him to get lost.

Ava says people are advised not to enter relationships just after leaving the hospital. Kiki says that’s for addicts and alcoholics, but Ava says that’s just semantics. Kiki says she’s not a pushover and calls Morgan on things when she sees them. Ava says she’s a crutch and a caretaker, and she’s enabling him. Kiki says she thinks Ava is uncomfortable because she had two separate affairs with him. She tells Ava to get out and stay gone. Ava asks her not to do this, and Kiki says she did this, yet again.

Ava sees the pill bottle and asks if Morgan gave her an STI.

Michael says something about Morgan’s meds and Morgan asks who told him. Michael is a little confused because he’s talking about the bi-polar meds and Morgan thinks he means the antibiotics.

Carly talks to Jax outside, telling him that she’s called off the search. He says when Jocelyn is an adult, if she wants to continue the search, she can. Carly tells him that she called Nina right after he left.

A girl comes to the door asking for Carly.

Elizabeth tells Jason welcome back. Jake leaves to get a cookie and Jason tells her the charges were dropped. He says he’s sorry about Nicholas and doesn’t want anything to be awkward. He says Jake seems to be doing well. He tells Elizabeth that Jake says Franco has been visiting them. Elizabeth tells him that they went on a date.

Franco talks to Daisy the dog’s picture, saying she’s the only one who ever understood him. He talks to himself, going over the Elizabeth thing. He says all he wants to do now is help people. He has love to give and no one special to give it to.

Sam tells Finn she’s fainted three times. She says it started in Greece. Finn explains that some diseases aren’t found here. She asks if he thinks she picked something up on Cassadine Island.

Kiki tells Ava she’s being inappropriate, and Ava repeats her question. Kiki says Morgan got exposed before they got back together and it’s highly treatable. Ava tells her to go for a follow-up HIV test because it can be dormant for a while. Kiki says she was tested for everything, but forgot about the window.

Sam says she was on a lot of stress on the trip and the second time she fainted, it was during a crash landing. Finn say the blood work will give them the whole story and not to worry. If there’s an infection, they’ll treat it.

Jason harangues Elizabeth about her date with Franco. She says Jason’s comfort level has nothing to do with her personal life. She tells him that Jake has been doing better and he needs to take his blinders off. He suggests they meet later to talk. She says that she and Franco just went on one date and they’re not having another one, so back off.

Franco wonders if Jason is the only one in Port Charles who deserves a second chance. He talks about being an artist. His phone rings. It’s Monica.

Michael tells the girl that his mother is busy right now. She introduces herself as Nell and he invites her to wait in the living room. Carly makes a toast to Bobbie, saying she’s everyone’s mom and how she didn’t let tough times make her bitter. She says she regrets not being kind to Bobbie at first, but doesn’t regret coming to Port Charles and how grateful she is for Bobbie.

Morgan and Jocelyn are taking Bobbie out, so they leave. Carly is like, way to end a party and says it might have been nice if Morgan thought out the timing a little better. Michael tells her she has a guest.

Kiki looks at the test results and she’s negative for HIV. Ava suggests condoms next time. D’oh! Ava tells Kiki that she knows what’s right and needs to wise up.

Franco tells Monica the police have cleared him. He asks why he’s being suspended even though she knows he’s innocent. He asks for Daisy back.

Elizabeth tells Jason he doesn’t get to judge her private life especially when he has no idea what’s going on in his own messed up orbit. She says he obviously doesn’t know Sam is in the hospital.

Finn tells Sam she’s pregnant. No surprise. Saw that one coming.

Nell tells Carly about seeing the article about Jocelyn’s transplant . She thinks she the donor.

Tomorrow, Nell explains herself, Lulu needs to talk to Hayden, and Tracy questions Dillon.
