Fall: Wednesday, September 2, 2009

Patrick advised Edward to take it easy at the carnival. Edward insisted that he had a heart of a 40 year-old man, not an 80 year-old man. Nearby, Andrea eavesdropped on the conversation, while clutching a bottle of Digitalis. She was startled when Matt approached her from behind. Andrea immediately went on the defensive, claiming that she'd been trying to avoid Robin and her false allegations of murder. Matt didn't believe Andrea, but she left before he could call her on it. After Edward departed, Matt warned Patrick that Andrea had been spying on him. Patrick suspected that Andrea was nervous. As the brothers talked about Robin's investigation, Matt confessed that he was impressed with Robin's instincts. Patrick agreed, but he didn't want Matt to encourage Robin. Patrick feared that Robin might end up donning a catsuit to repel into the Floyds's bedroom in order to prove that Andrea was a killer.

Matt was curious what kind of evidence Robin had gathered. Patrick revealed that Robin had obtained a list of people who had used their credit cards in the hotel during the three hours prior to Brianna's murder. Robin hoped to discover a witness who could place Andrea at the scene of the crime. Andrea sought legal advice from an attorney; she wanted to know if a lawyer would be obligated to report a client who had murdered someone. The attorney explained that lawyers were bound by attorney-client privilege. However, he warned Andrea that if there was a witness to the crime, the police were likely to find that person. Andrea suggested that it might not matter if the elderly witness passed away before the police had an opportunity to question him.

At home, Andrea sipped on a drink while she looked up the side effects of Digitalis. According to what Andrea had read Digitalis could cause cardiac arrest if improperly administered. Andrea smiled as she admitted that she never really liked Edward. Maxie and Spinelli stopped short when they entered the penthouse to find Jason and Sam in a passionate embrace. Spinelli beamed with joy while Maxie tried to gracefully exit without embarrassing Sam. Maxie's efforts were in vain because Spinelli clapped his hands as he congratulated Jason and Sam on reconciling. Jason ordered Spinelli to be quiet while Sam stammered an excuse and then fled the penthouse.

Maxie was stunned when Jason didn't follow Sam. She explained to Jason that Sam had been mortified. Jason refused to discuss Sam with Spinelli and Maxie. Maxie tactfully changed the subject to inform Jason that Spinelli had something important to ask him. Spinelli took exception to Maxie's interference; he assured Maxie that he could handle things on his own. Maxie decided to check on Sam. Before she left, Maxie advised Spinelli to save the discussion about the pink tie for last.

After Maxie departed, Jason wondered what a pink tie had to do with anything. Spinelli tried to turn the discussion back to Jason and Sam, but Jason remained tightlipped about the subject. Spinelli kept prodding until Jason admitted that Sam had helped him find Michael and Kristina, but he would not elaborate beyond that. Spinelli decided to share the news about his upcoming nuptials. When Spinelli asked Jason to be his best man, Jason hesitated. Jason didn't relish being part of a big elaborate wedding. Spinelli pleaded with Jason; according to Spinelli, he couldn't imagine anyone else standing next to him on such a momentous occasion. Jason eventually capitulated, but he made it clear that he would not wear a pink tie.

At Sam's apartment, Maxie questioned Sam about her relationship with Jason. Sam insisted that nothing was going on with Jason; she claimed that they simply worked well together. Maxie didn't appear to believe her. However, she let the matter drop in order to tell Sam about her engagement. Sam was surprised when Maxie confided that she didn't want to get married.
Maxie feared that her marriage would negatively impact her career. Sam suggested that Maxie discuss it with Spinelli. Maxie admitted that she had tried to no avail. A short time later, Maxie returned to the penthouse. Upon entering, she demanded that Jason invite Sam to the carnival. Maxie insisted that it was the only way for Jason to make amends for embarrassing Sam.

Kristina didn't think that fear excused her behavior. Sonny wouldn't let Kristina beat herself up; he pointed out that she had eventually told the truth. Kristina argued that she'd only confessed when she had to. Sonny insisted that Kristina had been through enough. He didn't want her confessing to something that would follow her for the rest of her life. Sonny felt that it was too high of a price for Kristina to pay.

Max interrupted their talk. He claimed that there was an urgent matter which required Sonny's attention. Kristina told Max that she and her father were in the middle of something, but Sonny interjected. Sonny explained that Max wouldn't have interrupted them if it weren't important. Kristina appeared disappointed until Sonny promised to take her to the carnival the following day. Before she left, Sonny handed Kristina some money to buy herself something pretty to wear. After Kristina's departure, Max revealed that a shipment had been intercepted. Sonny was surprised; he realized that it was likely someone in his organization was in cahoots with the police.

Michael admitted that Dominic had a point. However, Michael was distracted by the sense that his conversation with Dominic wasn't as private as he had hoped. When Michael dared his family to show themselves, Carly and Morgan stepped forward from different hiding spots. Neither Carly nor Morgan apologized for their behavior. When Jax returned to the living room, Michael announced that he would accept Dominic as a bodyguard. Carly smiled while Morgan whooped with joy; Morgan was excited because Dominic would be attending the carnival with them.
A short time later, Sonny arrived to welcome his son home. Sonny took the opportunity to assure Michael that he would have forgiven him, if Michael had been the one to cause Claudia's accident. Carly, Morgan, and Jax entered the living room moments later.
Olivia was not pleased to find Dante standing on her doorstep.

On the next General Hospital...

  • Elizabeth questions what Nikolas is really up to.
  • Carly gives Jason advice about Sam.
  • Robin realizes Edward could provide the answers she needs.
