What I Watched Today
(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)
General Hospital
Griff tells Dante about the potential threats at the party.
At the Floating Rib, Felicia explains to Mac that she told Anna they need to kick the tires of her new relationship, and she’s holding Finn’s takeout hostage until he answers questions. Mac thinks it’s not going to last. Anna likes to cut loose, and is a committed agent. He doesn’t think Finn can keep up with her. As they walk in, Anna criticizes Finn for wearing a tie. She says she doesn’t like this any more than he does, and stick to the truth as much as possible. It’s a stretch for her too, but they have to put on a show.
Cassandra waits at the docks. Valentin meets her. He says the cavalry has arrived.
Andre tells Franco there was a kernel of truth in what Betsy said. Andrew died when he was a child. The death certificate proves it.
Sonny encourages Real Jason to tell Sam who he is.
Dante tells Ava and Griff to pretend they’re having a good time, and ignore the thugs. Dante asks Other Jason if he knows anything, but he’s not aware of who they are. Dante says to tell the big guy with the beard he’s doing a bad job, and he’ll take care of ponytail.
Beard and Ponytail draw their guns, and say everybody down. Dante tells Ponytail to drop the gun. A shot is fired. Beard comes up behind Dante, and tells him to drop gun or someone dies. Dante does. Ponytail throws him on the floor. Elizabeth realizes she’s shot.
Carly sends a text on her iPad. Ava tries to call 911, but Beard catches her. Ponytail wants Sam to collect the cell phones. Nina helps Elizabeth to stop the bleeding.
Sonny tells Real Jason it’s going to shock Sam no matter when he tells her. Real Jason says it’s going to blow her life apart. Sonny says she deserves truth, and so does he. Other Jason thinks he’s Jason, and probably has another life somewhere. Sonny get’s Carly’s text. For all her typing, all it says is 911. He tells Real Jason to get his gun.
Andre tells Franco it’s ethically murky to insert himself into a patient’s life, but this time it was worth the risk. Franco doesn’t believe it. Andre says he couldn’t find it because he was looking for Andrew Frank. It was filed under his mother’s maiden name, Moore. He understands the depth of Betsy’s lies, but now Franco knows the truth and can let it go.
Felicia wants to know how they came to be more than friends. Anna says it was unexpected. Finn says he was caught off guard when she said she had her eye on him. She pursued him like a tiger in the Serengeti. I literally lol. Anna goes along with it, and Finn says she dragged him kicking and screaming into the relationship. She says he can’t get enough of her now, and he says everyone has their limits. Felicia hopes they never find them.
Cassandra is glad Valentin came to his senses. He says he wouldn’t leave her high and dry, and gives her a list of people. She says she wanted him to come on board, not be her headhunter. He says he vetted each one himself. She tosses them away, making a dismissive remark about each one. She says none of them are up to the task. They don’t have Valentin’s skills or knack for getting away with crimes. She wants the best, and only he will do.
Finn asks how Felicia and Mac met. He says it’s a long story, but she adds with a happy ending, and they’ll have one too. Mac say if they can find time for each other. Anna says they make do. Felicia asks what they like to do. They talk about what Anna likes, and find out they don’t have much in common, but Felicia says opposites attract. Mac thinks they must have one common interest. Anna says they have the same beliefs. Good people have a responsibility to act against injustice; too many people are apathetic. She says him finding the cure for Blackwood’s Syndrome makes him a hero. Mac and Felicia go to the bar to get drinks, and Finn and Anna agree they’ve both been paying attention to one another.
Valentin is flattered, but tells Cassandra he already explained why he can’t help her. Cassandra heard it the first time, but says she failed to adequately present the operation. She presented it as an offer, but he has no say.
Franco tells Andre that he can’t drop it. His mother lied over and over. The last thing she told him was that she dropped Andre off alive. Andre says he can believe the physical evidence. Franco says if she didn’t want him to know, there must be a reason. Maybe he caused it; maybe he killed him on the stairs. Andre tells him to check again. The cause of death is heart failure. Andre says Andrew’s not gone because of him. He’s just gone.
Cops are all over the MetroCourt. Real Jason tells Sonny he’s going upstairs, and Sonny outmaneuvers them and gets in the elevator. On the phone, Klein’s henchman tells him what happened, and Klein says they need to use the fail-safe; get the woman out.
Sam is still collecting phones. She throws one, and Jason grabs Beard, punching the crap out of him. Ponytail grabs Carly. Jason puts Beard to sleep with some kind of Vulcan grip.
Real Jason looks through skylight, and sees Ponytail with Carly. Ponytail says anyone who moves, dies; they’re leaving. Sonny says that’s his wife, and he has a long reach. No matter where Ponytail runs, he can find him. He asks if Ponytail wants to be dead. His other choice is putting the gun down, getting on his knees, and asking for a lawyer. Wow. He does. Sonny is good. Sonny tells Dante that Ponytail is all his. everyone starts to get up. Carly asks where the hell Sonny’s been, and he says she won’t believe it. Real Jason ponders on the roof.
Mac gets defensive with Finn, saying that Anna might as well be his sister; he raised her daughter. Finn says Anna thinks world of him; he’s her hero. Mac says one of them anyway. Felicia says Ann they’ll have a full debrief later, but for the time being, Finn gets a solid B. He’s a bit of a fixer-upper and needs dance lessons. Anna says it probably won’t last; she’s just being realistic. Felicia says her world-weary veneer masks the heart of a romantic. Anna says she hasn’t had much luck lately with men. Felicia thinks that’s because she’s been fixated on Valentin. Now she’s back on track, and can open her heart again.
Valentin tells Cassandra that he welcomed her to his town, patiently explained his position, and generously found those who can help her. Now she’s threatening him. She says if she wasn’t his friend, she might have acted on this. She hands him a folder.
Beard and Ponytail are in custody. Dante says take garbage out of here. Griff tells Elizabeth it’s not serious. Other Jason carries her out. Monica says this was more exciting than she bargained for, and Sam says she’s sorry. Monica asks why, since she didn’t invite a couple of lunatics to terrorize them. Sam needs to do damage control. Klein’s henchman says the woman is still here, but Ponytail and Beard have been arrested.
Carly tells Dante that she checked their references. Dante says that Griff recognized them from Russia. They were chasing someone associated with Jason. She has no idea who they are. Klein’s henchman grabs Sam, telling her no sudden moves. Real Jason sees him through the skylight. Henchman says they’re leaving, and injects her. She gets groggy. Real Jason busts out the window panes, and jumps down in slow motion. Everyone is like wtf??? He draws his gun. Carly is like, whoa, and Sonny gives a sidelong look.
Henchman runs with Sam. Carly’s mouth hangs open.
Valentin asks where Cassandra got this. She says it fell into her lap. Whose lap it falls into next depends on him. He asks why he should care, and she tells him denial doesn’t look good on him. The photo will never go anywhere if he cooperates. Nina calls, telling Valentin she’s at the MetroCourt, and he needs to get there now. The police might not let him up, so wait in the lobby. He’s like, what? and she says, just please come.
Finn gets call, and has to go to the hospital. Mac says he can’t escape them now that he’s dating Anna Felicia asks if they’re going to kiss goodbye, and Mac says they’re not trained seals, but she doesn’t want them holding back on their account. Finn and Anna kiss. Anna leans in a little more than necessary, and smiles as he leaves. Well, he is pretty cute.
Andre says Franco has a lot to process, and they’ll talk again. Franco understands his mom wants to protect him, but wonders why she kept changing her story. He asks if she’s crazy. Andre says it’s not a word he likes to use, and he doesn’t diagnose people he’s never met. Franco says she’s crazy. Andre tells him part of her feared him being taken away, and the damage is still reverberating; he’s feeling it too. He tells Franco to stay away for now. She’ll only spin a new story. Even though her intentions are good, she’s not doing him any favors; he has enough anxiety as it is. Other Jason comes in with the EMTs and Elizabeth on a gurney. Franco follows.
Carly asks Sonny wth? He says they’ll get into it later. The first priority is Sam. Dante wants the security footage. Nina asks who the guy is who came through the skylight, and Monica says ask Sonny.
Monica says they all saw the same thing, and Sonny is hiding something. Dante goes to look at the footage in Carly’s office, and asks Sonny to come with him. Sonny tells Carly that Sonny knows something. She says he usually does, but more important, someone has to tell Other Jason about Sam.
Ava also arrives at the hospital. Griff says Elizabeth will be fine. Her injury looked worse than it was, and she’ll have a full recovery. Franco wonders how someone gets shot at a corporate party, and asks Other Jason if it has something to do with him. Andre listens in. Other Jason tells Franco what happened, and asks why Griff and Ava were there.
Andre tells Klein that Elizabeth Webber was shot at the party. Klein says so what? He wanted Patient 6 handled, and that’s’ what they’re doing. The henchman brings Sam to the docks.
Dante asks Sonny who he came into the lobby with. It’s the same guy who came through the skylight. He knows who it looks like. Sonny says he’s wasting time questioning him; they need to find Sam.
Klein’s henchman tells him that Patient 6 broke through the skylight. Klein says they have leverage now. The henchman says Beard and Ponytail were arrested, and their contractors, not true believers. They’re going to tell everything they know. Klein says they’ll be gone before anyone can find a trail. Real Jason appears and tells him he has one chance to live. Let her go and walk away.
Anna tells Felicia sorry about the abrupt ending. Felicia says that’s okay; they can do a post mortem. Mac says he seems like a nice enough guy. Felicia tells Mac that he was rough on Finn, and Anna says he was hostile. Mac says he sets a high bar for anyone interested in her. Felicia is surprised Finn cleared it in hour. Mac says he’s not the guy he’d expect Anna to be with, but he’s a good guy, and cares about her. She could do worse. Great endorsement. Felicia thinks he’s a keeper.
Valentin gets to the MetroCourt, and Nina hugs him. He asks what happened. She tells him Elizabeth was shot, and Sam was kidnapped. Elizabeth is at the hospital, and Griff said she’ll be okay. Nina starts to cry, and says the blood on her hands is Elizabeth’s; she tried to stop the bleeding. She just wants to go home. She asks what kept him, and he flashes back to his meeting with Cassandra, and her telling him that she made a new acquaintance; a talkative one. We see the photo and a copy of a headline, but I have no idea what it’s about. Valentin tells Nina it’s all taken care of.
Finn tells Elizabeth that once her blood is replaced, she’ll be fine. He tells Franco she needs to rest, so make it brief. Franco tells her that he hates parties, and he’s sorry; he should have gone. He’s going to check on the boys and then come back.
Ava and Griff decide to say nothing about Patient 6. Griff says he has other things on his mind, like what he’d do if something happened to Ava. He doesn’t want to find out. He hugs her.
Sonny tells Dante to look at the footage, and find Sam. Dante tells him to stay out of police business. When Dante is gone, Carly asks Sonny wth is going on, and who was that man?
Monica tells Other Jason that when he left, something else happened. The men weren’t alone, and whatever is going on isn’t over. Franco overhears.
Real Jason says he doesn’t care what happens to Klein and his henchman. Just walk away. The henchman acts like he doesn’t want to be involved, and walks past with his hands up, but pulls a gun, and Real Jason shoots him. He tells Klein it’s his last chance; let her go. Klein says he can’t shoot him; he’ll hit Sam. Real Jason says no he won’t. Klein tells him that he can kill him or save her, not both. He throws Sam in the water and runs.
Other Jason finds out Sam has been abducted, Carly says whoever that is isn’t Jason, and Griff and Ava need to escape.
🎃 Due to Halloween festivities beyond my control, that’s all she wrote today. If they’re On Demand tomorrow, I’ll catch up with Once Upon a Time and Z Nation with an extra post.
