What I Watched Today

(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)

 

General Hospital

Ned And Olivia F are getting busy on the couch. Dillon interrupts because it’s breakfast time.

On the phone, Jordan tries to convince the new DA that Sonny is innocent. Andre asks if the Baltimore trip had any results. Jordan tells him that it wasn’t the one she’d hoped for.

Jason and Sam visit Sonny. He tells Carly that they’re doing research for him, and Carly asks what kind. He says they’re on the trail of Morgan’s killer.

Alexis asks Julian where he’s going. He says he’s moving out.

Elizabeth tells Franco she looked everywhere, and is sorry she couldn’t find him. He tells her that cold storage is all the rage. She tells him that there was a phone call from Heather, and some other friends dropped by. Ava has sent flowers, which all three of us find odd. Elizabeth wishes that Franco had let her in on what was going on, instead of kicking her to the curb.

Ned gives Dillon the bum’s rush out, and wants to get back to what he and Olivia F were doing. She has to get back to Leo, and Ned asks why he can’t stay there. She says that’s sweet, but he doesn’t belong there any more than she does.

Jordan tells Andre that the trip turned out to be a complete waste of time and energy. She asks how the rest of the wedding went. He says he was third party to a confrontation, but would have rather been dancing with her. They go into the interrogation room to talk. Andre says he’s kicking himself for taking the wrong stand with her again. He says she’s committed to her job and he loves that about her, and he’s sorry for the fuss he made. He tells her that she challenges and excites him, and he’s happy when he’s with her. He was disappointed, and he’s sorry he didn’t just say that to begin with.

Carly asks if Sam should be involved, but Sam says she’s just in an advisory position. Jason says they have a lead, and this is a strategy meeting. Sonny tells Carly about what they staged at the hospital. Carly wonders who’s watching them, and where the investigation is going. Sonny says it starts with Ava.

Julian tells Alexis that he’s going back to Ava’s. He says he was only there to get her sober. She asks what about the accident, and he says she wasn’t even there, and their business is done. She can have her house back. Unless she doesn’t want him to move out.

Jordan tells Andre that he’s a tough act to follow. She wishes she had his way with words, so she could tell him how much he means to her. She says the problem is on her, has nothing to do with him, and she’ll make it up to him. She’s sorry for making him feel like she wasn’t choosing him, because she does choose him. It’s him or no one.

Julian tells Alexis that he was joking. Alexis is glad they understand each other. She says she needs to see Sam, and Julian tells her that he probably won’t be there when she gets back, but he’s only a phone call away. I’m sure that’s very comforting.

Carly thinks it has to be Ava, but Sam says that didn’t check out. Carly asks if there are any other leads. Sonny says that if Julian lets his guard down, it could lead them to the source. Jason tells them that Winston is gone because the cops are looking for him, and since the case is considered closed, he should have leeway. Carly says when they find out who it is, she wants to know, and also wants to know what they’re going to do, before they do something they can’t take back.

Ned wonders why Olivia F thinks she doesn’t belong there. She says that she doesn’t want to confuse Leo. Leo has a home, and this isn’t it. Ned says it could be, unless she thinks things are moving too fast. She says she has to be mindful of steps they’re taking for Leo’s sake. Carly calls, and Olivia has to run.

Franco says he didn’t kick Elizabeth to the curb; he just wanted to take a pause while the Tom Baker thing was going on. Elizabeth says that a relationship can’t be frozen, like putting an electronic on pause, and Franco asks if he blew it. He asks what they have, and she says it depends. He left her behind to do things on his own, and she wants them to face things together or not at al. She asks what he chooses, and he says together. She kisses him.

Dillon tells Ned that Olivia F will have to toughen up to roll with the Quartermaines. Ned says she is tough, and to cut her some slack. He tells Dillon he doesn’t think she feels the same way he does.

Carly meets Olivia F. She wants Olivia to know something without knowing it – Julian is involved in something ugly. She wants Olivia to keep her distance, and keep Leo close. Olivia wonders if Carly talked to Alexis. Carly says that Alexis has a restraining order on Julian, so she doesn’t think she needs to.

Alexis visits Franco in the hospital. Elizabeth gives them privacy. Alexis asks how he’s doing, saying it’s a stupid question, since he’s in a hospital bed. He says he likes it better than a cold autopsy table. She tells him he did better than she did. She confesses that she was willing to let him take the fall for something he didn’t do, and she owes him.

Andre says he’ll talk to Jordan later about going out for drinks. Curtis comes in. Andre tells him sorry about the trip, but Curtis says some things are worth putting in the time. Andre leaves, and Curtis asks if she told the DA about Buzz disappearing. I must have missed something somewhere, because I hadn’t been aware he was gone. She says that the DA wants to hear his statement from him, and hung up on her. She says the DA is going to prosecute the case with what she has. Curtis asks if he proved himself to Jordan, and is on track to get back his badge.

Jason wants Sam to go to the safe house, but she says she doesn’t feel safe without him. He says he can’t do this without his family being safe.

There’s someone at the door, and Julian thinks Alexis has come back, but it’s sister Olivia J.

Curtis tells Jordan that he wants to do it right this time. He wants to take the tests, and go to the academy; he’ll even walk a beat if he has to. Jordan says if he wants his badge back, he’ll have to go somewhere else.

Olivia F says she already avoids Julian like the plague, and she has enough on her plate. She says things had been going great with Ned until this morning, when things got weird. Carly asks if one of his relatives are trying to blackmail her, because they’re good at it. Olivia says Ned wants her and Leo to move in. Carly thinks Ned wants to marry her.

Dillon reminds Ned about a sports car he bought that was all flash, but not worth the maintenance. He thinks Olivia F might look at Ned the same way – he looks great on paper, but underneath, he has issues.

Sam talks to Elizabeth. They both thank each other. Sam says they can call it even, and they shake hands.

Alexis tells Franco that she’s making amends. Franco says she’s not the only person working on atonement, and the only thing she has to do to repay him is to take care of herself.

Julian asks what Olivia J is doing there. She says she wants to see her brother’s love nest. He tells her to get out, and she says he takes orders from her. He says someone might see her, but she says no one did, and she probably wouldn’t be recognized anyway. She asks for a drink, but he says all they have is tap water. She wants to know if there’s been any progress.

Sonny asks if Jason needs more manpower, but he doesn’t think there’s time to train anyone. He says when he finds whoever killed Morgan, he’s going to deliver them to the police, and asks if that’s enough for Sonny.

Dillon asks Ned how many times he’s been married. He mentions that Ned was also married to two women at once, and says Olivia F might have doubts. Ned asks if Dillon thinks he should marry her.

Carly tells Olivia F that she could be mistaken, but Ned sounds like he’s looking for a commitment. Olivia says they’ve never even talked about it. Carly says maybe he wants to surprise her, and Olivia says she hopes not.

Elizabeth tells Franco he’s been released. She asks if he wants to go back to his place or come home with her.

At the hospital, Alexis thanks Sam for meeting her. She tells Sam that she cleared the air with Franco about something because it’s a step, and not to worry. Sam tells Alexis that she’s going out of town for a while. She says Jason and Sonny had a falling out, and Jason bailed. She says Sonny is backed into a corner, and Jason is afraid he’ll lash out at Julian. She’s going on a little vacation, and asks Alexis if she wants to come. Alexis says Julian has moved out, taking his bad juju with him, and she needs to stay to work her program.

Julian thinks that finding a scapegoat will take too much time, and explains to Olivia J how he drugged Jason. He says it must have persuaded Jason to drop the case. He says Jason has a family now, and puts them ahead of everyone and everything. Olivia asks what’s going on with GH.

Sonny tells Jason that he doesn’t even know who it is. If Jason catches her, and turns her in, so be it. Find out who murdered his son, and after that, it’s on him and no one else

Curtis tells Jordan that they had a deal; if he brought Buzz in, he’d get his badge back. She says that wasn’t the case. He says he can’t believe he’s so stupid that he let her play him. He tells Jordan that she and the DA just want to win, no matter who they screw over. Jordan says it wouldn’t work, but she’ll help him elsewhere. He says she wants him to leave town, so he won’t end up where she really wants him – in her bed. Jordan slaps him.

Olivia F thinks she’s having a panic attack. Carly asks why. She says look at her track record. The last shot she had at happily ever after was carted off to prison during the ceremony.

Dillon says he’s not telling Ned to skip a hundred steps and go to a proposal, but he needs to show he’s here to stay. Ned says he’s not getting any younger, and Dillon tells him not to turn it into a midlife crisis. Ned says it will be a crisis if he loses Olivia F. Ned thanks him, and asks how he got so wise.

Elizabeth says she’d like to take care of Franco if he wants. He says, her place it is.

Jordan apologizes. Curtis says it’s the new her – she’s so afraid of her passions, she has to keep them on lockdown. She says what happened was a reminder that they have too many unresolved issues to work together. Her life is the way she wants, and he doesn’t fit in it. He says to keep telling herself that. He’s going to keep doing him and stay there, so deal with it

Elizabeth parks Franco in the hallway, and goes to get his stuff. Sam thanks him for not turning Alexis in, but not to think for a minute that it makes up for what he did to her.

Jason says once he clears Sonny, he’s done. Sonny asks if he needs help. Jason says maybe. Curtis calls, and asks if Jason wants him back on the case.

Julian tells Olivia J that there’s been a lot of resistance led by Tracy. Olivia says he doesn’t want to disappoint her. Alexis walks in.

Tomorrow, Brick might have a solution, Nell gets flowers at work, and Alexis wants to know what’s going on.

🛳 Note: The Ladies of London finale will be on next Tuesday at 8 pm.

Throwing Back Thursday to Plato

Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.
