What I Watched Today

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

General Hospital

On the phone with Olivia, Lulu says Mike was always so good to her. Please give Sonny her condolences. Olivia says she will, but she promises Sonny gets it. Monica asks how the service was, and Olivia says, it was beautiful. Ned says Sonny thanks her for the donation she made in Mike’s name to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America. She was very generous. She says Mike was a lovely man, and even though she and Sonny and Carly have had their clashes, no family should have to endure such a painful loss.

Josslyn helps Carly set up at the MetroCourt, and says she’s glad they’re having a party. Mike would approve. Josslyn tells Carly that Trina’s mother is out, and she said Trina could come there. Although if Carly wants, she can cancel. Carly says Trina is always welcome, or is Josslyn looking for a reason to cancel? Did something happen between her and Trina? Josslyn tries to blow it off, but Carly says, hey. If hey learned anything from Mike’s funeral, it’s that life is too short not to say what’s on your mind. Josslyn says she and Cameron kissed at the dance, and she doesn’t know how to tell Trina.

Sam comes in with Jason and Brando, and says she wants to check on her mom. She never showed at the funeral. When she’s gone, Brando asks Jason if he thinks everything is settled. There’s a lot more they could be doing. Jason says, not there. They’re not talking about it there.

Sonny is about to leave the church, when the door opens. It’s Dante. Sonny hugs him.

Ned says Monica is welcome to join them, but Monica says she thinks the best way for her to honor Mike’s memory is to not intrude on the family. Ned says he’ll send his regards, and she asks him to hang back. There’s something she needs to discuss with him. Olivia says she’ll see him in a few. He asks if he should be concerned. Is everything okay? She says, everything is not okay, and he damn well knows why.

Brook texts Amy: Everything is ready for the Deception meeting later. I can’t begin to thank you enough. 

Carly says Josslyn and Cameron go way back. The kiss must have been pretty confusing. Josslyn says, tell her about it. One moment they were talking like they always do, relaxed and easy, and the next moment, they were kissing. Carly asks, was it good? and Josslyn says, very good, but Dev found them, and said Trina was having a hard time. She went to find Trina, and she and Cameron never got to talk about it, or what it meant; assuming it meant anything. Carly says she’s sure it did, and Josslyn says, maybe. Or maybe it was just a one-time thing, or a mistake. Or the beginning of something. Carly asks if she wants it to be, and Josslyn says, kind of. She doesn’t want it to be a big deal, especially if Cameron doesn’t feel the same way, especially since, for a moment, she thought Cameron had feelings for Trina. Carly says she thought they were just friends, but Josslyn says she doesn’t know what’s going on. She’s thinking she has to tell Trina, and Carly agrees, especially with a friendship like she and Trina have. Maybe  talking to Trina can help her figure out how she feels.

Jordan and Curtis come into Charlie’s, and stop by Ava and Trina’s table. Jordan says Trina looks pretty, and Trina thanks her. Ava says they’re discussing gallery business, and Jordan says she’ll leave them to it. Curtis says it’s good to see them both. Trina glares at Curtis, and Ava says she knows Trina is grieving, and knows she needs someone to blame for her father’s death, but Curtis saved her life. He deserves a parade for that. Trina says she doesn’t. They get to walk around all happy while trashing her father’s name. He wasn’t corrupt. He was a good man. Cyrus comes by and says, good men often make mistakes.   

Brando wonders why he gets the feeling that there will never be a good time to talk about this with Jason. Jason says he asked Brando to drop it, and he can’t, which tells Jason that he’s not disciplined. Brando says he knows the difference between discipline and determination, and he thinks Jason does too. Jason says it’s Sonny’s decision to make, not his. Let’s make this a celebration about Mike. Brando says he’ll grab a drink; see how disciplined he is? He goes to the bar, and Sam asks Jason if he’s okay. He asks, what’s going on? and she says Alexis isn’t picking up the phone. She has no idea why her mom wouldn’t make it to Mike’s funeral. Jason says they can go over to Alexis’s place afterward, but Sam says maybe she’ll call by then. What’s going on with him and Brando?  

Dante tells Sonny, he’s sorry he missed Mike’s service, but Sonny says Dante showing up is a gift. He knows Dante’s grandfather has something to do with this. He tells Dante, you’re right on time, son.

Monica tells Ned, Tracy reached out, and he says he didn’t realize she and Tracy kept up correspondence. Monica says, they’ve had a Washington/Moscow crises line going, and according to Tracy, it’s 11:59 on the Quartermaine doomsday clock. If Ned doesn’t get his affairs in order, Tracy is going to come back and get them in order for him.   

Alexis sees Brando, and says, Sonny’s cousin, which makes him Mike’s cousin, and explains why he’s there. Brando says, all of the above. She says she’s sorry for his loss, and he thanks her. he says, Mike was a really good man. Her daughter said some meaningful things at the service. She says they probably shouldn’t talk about her daughters, and he says, Molly told her? She says, yeah, and he says he and Molly have an understanding; it never happened. She says, yet it did. She’s well aware how a one-night stand can cause some complicated repercussions that can ripple through the rest of your life.  

Carly tells Josslyn that she’s there if Josslyn needs to talk. She has a wealth of experience to draw from. Josslyn says she thinks she needs time to process it; a lot has been going on. Carly suggests Josslyn write in her journal, but Josslyn says she put it away. Dustin suggested it as a way to work through her grief about Oscar, and it helped at first, but eventually she realized that it kept her looking back. Dev quietly comes in, but Josslyn and Carly don’t notice. Josslyn says she took the journal to the basement, and put it in the memory box Carly started for her. Carly says she’s so proud of Josslyn, and Josslyn tells her, hold that thought until she tells Trina about the kiss. Carly says she does need to check in with Trina, but the first person she should talk to is Cameron. Dev makes himself known, and says the guests are arriving. He asks if Carly needs help, but she says, that’s what the staff is for. They were just talking about homecoming. Did he have fun?   

Trina gets up and tells Cyrus, her father didn’t make a mistake, and he knows it. Cyrus says a judge determined her father lied. That’s why he’s there, instead of in prison. She says he’s the corrupt one, not her dad, and Ava says, it’s obviously not a good time, but Trina says, don’t apologize for her. This man is a liar and a killer, and Cyrus says, clearly, the court says otherwise. Curtis gets up, and says, clearly, his presence isn’t wanted there. Cyrus walks away, and Trina glowers at him and Curtis. Curtis goes back to his table, and Ava tells Trina, she’s sorry. Cyrus had no right to insert himself in their conversation. Trina says she’s tired of feeling angry and helpless all the time. She can’t stand the sight of Cyrus. Ava tells her she’s not helpless. Take her anger and use it. Trina says, how? and Ava tells her, change the narrative about her father.

Curtis says he told Cyrus that Trina was off limits. Cyrus says, that young lady could learn some manners, but Curtis says if Cyrus sees her, go the other way. Cyrus says his business isn’t with Trina; it’s with Jordan. So why doesn’t Curtis just walk away and leave him alone with her.

Sam asks if Jason has changed his mind. Does he think Brando might be involved with Cyrus? Jason says, it’s not the time or place to talk about it, and she asks him to listen to himself. When is the right time? It wasn’t last night, or this morning, or yesterday. She almost lost him in an accident, and she’s not letting that happen again. They fought hard to get back to where they are, and he’s shutting her out. Alexis and Brando join them, but Brando excuses himself, and keeps walking. Sam asks why Alexis missed Mike’s funeral. Alexis flashes back to drinking heavily, and says she’s well-aware that she missed the service, and Sam asks, what’s more important than saying goodbye to Mike?  

Sonny says Dante looks good. Dante says, that’s debatable, but he feels okay. Sonny says, just okay? and Dante says he’ll put it this way; he feels better than he’s felt in a long time. That’s a win for him. Sonny says he hates to ask, but do the authorities know Dante is there? Dante laughs, and says he’s officially been released. He came directly back to Port Charles, but he wishes he’d gotten there sooner. Sonny says he’s so glad Dante is back. You know who else is going to be glad? Just wait until Lulu and the kids lay eyes on him.

Dustin tells Lulu that Rocco fell asleep clutching his Gameboy. Lulu doesn’t think Gameboy has been a thing for twenty years, and he says he’s dating himself. She says he’s dating her, but he says he thought they’d moved on to seeing each other by now. She says how does with each other sound, and he says, how about romancing? Or wooing? She thinks they’re past the wooing stage, and he says he’ll consider her wooed. She tells him that he knows she loves him.

Curtis says anything Cyrus tells his wife, Cyrus can tell him. Cyrus says, it’s sweet; they’re in this together. If one goes down, so does the other. Curtis says, no one is going down. 1257 Wilson Avenue. Cyrus counters with, 827 Emerson Street, apartment 5D; it’s TJ’s place, and Jordan asks what he wants. Get to the point. He gives her a piece of paper, she looks at it, and hands it to Curtis. Curtis asks, what the hell is this? What is he up to?   

Trina runs in, apologizing for being late. Carly says Trina’s not late, but she needs to mingle, and asks Dev to come with her. Josslyn tells Trina that she needs to talk to her about something important, but Trina says she needs to tell Josslyn something first; it’s really important.   

Alexis tells Sam, she didn’t intend to miss Mike’s funeral. She forgot to set her alarm. Sam says, it was in the middle of the day, and Alexis says she had trouble sleeping and didn’t feel like herself when she woke up. She feels like herself now, and she’s here. Is her explanation okay, or does Sam need more details? Olivia joins them and says it’s good to see Alexis. Alexis says she’s glad she made it. She asks when Olivia got back, and Olivia says, yesterday. Alexis knew she was away? Alexis pretends to get a message, and excuses herself.  

Ned says he’s sorry his mother dragged Monica into their business, and Monica says she wouldn’t have if Ned had answered her texts, calls, or emails. He says he already knows Tracy is already furious because Valentin took over ELQ on his watch. Monica says, she knows he’d rather avoid a conversation with her. She’s been there many times, but Tracy isn’t just upset about ELQ, she’s worried about her family. He says he shouldn’t be surprised his mother knew there was tension between him and Olivia. Monica says the state of his marriage isn’t what what’s infuriating Tracy. He decimated the relationship with his daughter. Ned wonders when Tracy has taken an interest in Brook other than disapproving of her. Monica says he’s certainly taken up that mantle, hasn’t he? 

Brook tells Olivia, she didn’t get a chance to speak to her at the service, but she’s sorry about everything that happened with the family. Olivia says she is too, especially for Brook and her father. She hopes things have cooled down, and the family can get back on track. Brook wonders if Ned and Olivia are back on track, and Olivia says, they’re working it out, especially since she left a message, then lost her phone. Brook says she knows Olivia did, and Olivia thanks her for the vote of confidence. Brook says, no. She knows because she erased the message.    

Lulu apologizes to Dustin, saying she didn’t mean to put him on the spot. Don’t feel obligated to say it back. He says he loves her. He’s felt it for a while, but he didn’t know where he stood, and didn’t know what to say. He wanted to take it slow, not just for the kids, but for her, and he didn’t want to push for a commitment if she wasn’t ready. She’s worth the wait. She says, it looks like they’re on the same page. Maybe that means they’re ready to take another big step together.

Dante tells Sonny it will be good to see Lulu and the kids, and everyone else. He wishes he could have seen Mike before he passed. How was he? Sonny says Dante was there at the start with Avery. He’s sure Dante had a feeling of where it was headed. Dante asks, but how was he in the end? and Sonny says, there wasn’t much left except love and pain. He wanted his dad to live so bad, but Mike was hurting, so he had to let him go. Dante says, it must have taken a lot of courage. He’s proud of Sonny. He wishes he could say he’d be able to do the same. Sonny says, everybody is at the MetroCourt. Why don’t they get over there? but Dante tells Sonny that he can’t.

Jordan asks Cyrus what she’s supposed to do with this? He says, it’s a PCPD case number. Bring him all the files from the investigation. It’s not much for him to ask, considering what’s at stake. Curtis asks what that would be, and Cyrus says he’s asked so little of her, Jordan must have known he’d be calling in a favor soon. He tells Curtis, don’t threaten him again – ever. He walks away, and Jordan tells Curtis that Cyrus is baiting him. Let him. Curtis says he knows. They need to let Cyrus believe he has them where he wants them. Jordan says, so when they take him down, he doesn’t see it coming. Curtis asks, what’s with the file Cyrus is asking for? but she says she won’t know until she pulls it.

Cyrus sits down at Ava’s table, and she says she didn’t ask him to join her. He says he wants to see how she’s doing, and she says, why? They have nothing of interest to discuss. He says, oh, but they do. Her brother.

Ned says Monica can’t be comparing him to his mother? And she says, heavens no. She’s comparing him to Edward. He says, Edward disinherited his mother multiple times. All he did was ask Brook to grow up, and take responsibility for her life. Monica says he threw Brook out of a house he doesn’t even own. Tracy and Brook have something in common; they were ousted by their fathers. Ned agrees he prioritized keeping ELQ in the family, and he was harsh with Brook when she sold her private stock, but he’s not the same person as his grandfather. Monica says, maybe so. Edward was a philanderer. He cheated on Lila, even though he loved her very much. He did anything to cover it up. He threw Beatrice la Sur in the rose bushes to hide her from Lila. He and Ned aren’t cut from the same cloth.

Olivia asks if Brook was trying to make her father suspicious, and Brook says she was furious at Olivia and her dad; at everything. Her father threw her out, and just when she’d found a place in Deception, Nelle slashed her throat. It’s no excuse, and she told her dad, but it was too late already. The hotel called and he flipped out, thanks to her. Olivia says she gets it. Brook was mad at the world. Like seemed unfair, and at that moment she needed to lash out at something. Brook asks if Olivia is forgiving her.

Alexis gets a club soda, and takes it to one of the hallway tables. She opens her bag, and takes out a fifth of vodka.

Sam tells Jason that she’s worried about her mother. She thinks Neil’s death is affecting Alexis more than she’s admitting. She doesn’t know what to do; push, or is she pushing too hard? She says that’s what she’s doing to him, isn’t it? Pushing too hard. He says he didn’t say that, and she says, he didn’t have to. Carly comes out and asks if everything is okay, and Sam says, great. She’ll be right back. She jets, and Carly asks, what’s going on?

Brando asks Dev how the dance went. Did he tell Josslyn how he feels? Dev says Josslyn put him in the friendzone, and went off with Cameron. Brando says, that’s brutal. Gladys walks in with a pastry box, and says, there are her fellas. She called Turning Woods to find out about Mike’s belongings, and found out the funeral was today. She asks why Brando didn’t let her know. He says, sometimes she rubs Sonny and Carly the wrong way, and she says, never mind. It’s good to see him, and her handsome grandson. They’re still playing that game, right?

Lulu suggests Dustin move in, and he says, she means permanently? She says she knows it’s a big step, and they haven’t talked about it. Having him there felt right. He says, if he did, the kids would have to be on board. She says, Charlotte likes him, and Rocco thinks he walks on water. She thinks it would be taking something good and making it better; more permanent… If that’s what he wants. He says he wants, but there’s one big factor to discuss – Dante.   

Dante tells Sonny, he’s not ready for a big thing. The last time he came home, his mom threw him a party, and it didn’t go so hot. Sonny sits down with him, and he says, Olivia hasn’t seen him in so long. Dante says he’s going to see her, but not with a big crowd of people around, and he’s got to take care of something first. Please don’t say anything yet. Sonny says it doesn’t feel right not telling his mother. Dante says he heard her when she came to see him. If she hadn’t come, he probably wouldn’t have come home. Sonny says, but home now.

Jordan asks what the address is that Curtis threw at Cyrus. What’s the significance? Her phone rings, and she says she’s got to take it.

Ava asks what Cyrus would want with Julian. Julian owns a bar; they have nothing to discuss. Cyrus says, Julian hasn’t always been a simple proprietor of a bar, nor has she been an elite gallerist. Ava says she’ll address what he’s been dancing around. She and Julian are Jeromes, and any alleged illegal activities are in the past. He says he has someplace he needs to be. Tell Julian he was asking about him. He hopes Julian is healing from the tragic loss of his young and beautiful wife.

Trina tells Josslyn, she’s made the decision not to tell her mom. Dev comes by, and Trina says he should hear this too. She was telling Josslyn her plan to prove her father didn’t frame Cyrus. He would never lie about a suspect to get a bust. Everyone wants her to back off and shut up, and she’s tried, but she can’t let them trash her dad’s reputation. She’s going to clear his name. Josslyn asks, how? and Trina says she needs their help. She knows they can figure it out. Are they in? Josslyn says, of course (🍷). Dev says, sure; whatever, and walks away. Trina asks if that’s supposed to be a joke, and Josslyn says, it’s hard to tell with him these days. Trina asks if Josslyn is with her, and Josslyn says she is, and she’s sure Cameron is too.

Ned tells Monica that he needs to make it right with Brook. He tried to apologize, but he and Brook can’t be in the same room without it developing into open warfare. Monica says he needs reinforcements, and he asks if she’s enlisting. She says, it’s either her or Tracy. Tracy would be on a plane right now if Monica hadn’t convinced her that she’s eminently qualified to help patch things up with his daughter. He thinks it should stay between him and Brook, and Monica says, fine, but he’d better fix it. If he doesn’t, Tracy will fix it for him, and neither one of them wants that.

Olivia tells Brook, life is too short to hold grudges; just ask Sonny. If her marriage isn’t strong enough to withstand an erased message, what’s the point? Brook is shocked Ned didn’t give her up, and Olivia says her father is trying. In the spirit of forgiveness, maybe Brook could throw a little his way. Brook tells Olivia, she’d like to say yes, but she’s not there yet. Olivia hopes they get there. For Brook’s sake and her father’s. Brook says she needs a refill, and asks if Olivia needs anything, but Olivia says she’s okay.

Alexis dumps the soda out in a planter, and pours the vodka in the glass. I’m baffled as to why she wouldn’t just add it, since it would take less time and be simpler. Olivia sees her messing around.

Gladys says it’s good to see Carly. She went to the bakery in Bridgeport, and got the crumb cake Mike liked. She gave it to Dev to put on the table. She says she’s sorry she missed the funeral. Carly says she didn’t miss it; she wasn’t invited. Gladys says she’s happy Brando was there for her and her family. Her son has sacrificed so much, but he’s blood, right? Brando says, that’s enough, and Gladys says, as she was driving there, Cousin Mike was talking to her. He said Brando should have more than a garage. He wants Brando to be a trusted associate like Jason. I’m wondering if she isn’t in on whatever they’re doing, but she reminds me of my Aunt Lucille. After my grandfather died, she told my grandmother that he’d come to her in a vision, saying go live with my grandmother. Rent free of course (🍷 yes, it even goes for me).

Sonny says Dante can see his mom when he’s ready. Don’t take too long. Dante promises it won’t. Sonny says he’s got to go to the MetroCourt, and asks if Dante needs a ride somewhere. Dante thinks he’ll walk. He wants to get reacquainted with the town again. They hug, and Dante says, when things calm down, they should get three Yankees tickets; one for him, one for Sonny, and one for Mike. Sonny says it’s the best news he’s heard all day, and Dante leaves.   

Dustin tells Lulu, if he moves in, he wants to respect Dante’s relationship with the kids. She says, that’s very thoughtful of him to consider. Dante will always have a place in the kids’ lives. If and when he wants to claim it. He asks, what about a place in her life? and she says part of her will always love him. Dante told her not to wait, and to move on, and she did, with him. It’s not Dante’s house anymore. It’s hers, theirs. If he accepts her invitation. He says he will, and she says, good answer. They kiss.

Alexis says she didn’t see Olivia, and Olivia says she can tell Alexis is going through a rough time. She wants Alexis to know, if she needs to talk… Alexis thanks her, and says she appreciates it, but she’s kind of talked out. Ned appears, and Alexis says Ned’s been helping her.

Curtis asks if Ava is okay, and she says she’s fine. It’s her spitfire assistant she’s worried about. He says, him too, and she says she’s grateful for him saving Trina’s life, even if Trina’s not – yet. He says he can handle Trina’s attitude. It’s Cyrus who got to him. She says he’s not the only one, and he tells her, take care. She says, back at him, and he leaves. Ava looks at her phone, and says, come on, Julian. Where is he?

Josslyn asks how Trina plans to proceed proving her father didn’t falsify evidence. Trina says, first, she needs to get her hands on the files on that dirtbag Cyrus. Josslyn says they might be public record, and Trina says, maybe they can find a sympathetic person to help them at city hall. Josslyn says, it’s a good place to start.  

Dev looks in Josslyn’s memory box, and finds her journal.  

Brando tells Gladys, Sonny’s business doesn’t concern her or him; stay out of it. Gladys says she was hoping Sonny would realize what he’s got in Brando. Sonny joins them, and Gladys says she’s so sorry about Mike. He was one of the good ones. Sonny asks, what’s going on? Gladys says, they were just talking. It must be great having Brando around. He’s done so much, she’s sure Sonny wants to reciprocate. She knows Sonny has associates, like Jason, but nothing is more valuable than family. Mike always treated her with so much respect. Sonny says his dad had a soft spot for her. It’s the only reason he’s letting her stay. She says she and Mike were family, and loved each other. To honor Mike’s memory, Sonny should give Brando what he deserves. Carly says Gladys looks thirsty – ha-ha! I’m wondering if she’s making a play on words – and Sam says they should get her hydrated. They lead Gladys away, and Brando tells Sonny, Gladys must have found out about his visits to Turning Woods; he didn’t tell her. She did have a point though, about him having a bigger role in the business. Sonny says, it’s been decided.  

Cyrus comes into the MetroCourt, and Jason tells him that he’s not welcome there.

The doorbell rings, and Lulu says, just a second. She comes out tucking her shirt in. She opens the door, and Dante is there.

On Monday, Dante asks Lulu if she wishes he hadn’t come back. Ava tells Julian that they’re supposed to seal the deal. Carly tells Gladys the ATM is closed, and Brando says he didn’t do it.
