Fall: Wednesday, September 9, 2009

One of the first causalities was Andrea Floyd, who had been arguing with Alexis just moments before. Elsewhere at the carnival, Jason, Elizabeth, and Lucky stood frozen in horror as Jake wandered off seconds before Edward's car tore through the carnival. Jason, Elizabeth, and Lucky raced to the area where they'd last seen Jake. As they frantically dug through the wreckage, they heard a baby cry out. It was Jake. Elizabeth snatched her son up in her arms the moment they found him. Paramedics quickly loaded Jake onto a gurney and then raced him the hospital.

Jason remained behind, wandering through the devastation in a state of stunned disbelief while the injured crowd slowly made their way to medical aid. Ethan rushed to Edward's car. Edward was unconscious as Ethan pulled Edward out of the car. Robin and Patrick quickly surmised that Edward had suffered cardiac arrest. After Edward was taken to the hospital, Nikolas joined Rebecca. Nikolas explained that he had sent Spencer home with the nanny. Rebecca was relieved that Spencer had not been harmed. When Claudia spotted Lulu, she asked Lulu to take Molly to the hospital. Molly refused to leave until Claudia promised to stay behind to search for Kristina. Claudia stopped one of the rescue workers to ask if they had found Kristina in the debris. The rescue worker explained that the ride that Kristina had been on had disintegrated; he did not hold out much hope that there had been any survivors.

Robin quickly determined that Molly had only suffered minor scrapes and bruises. However, she asked that Lulu keep an eye on Molly in the event that Molly started to show signs of shock. Lulu decided to take Molly to the cafeteria. Molly was grateful for Lulu's company. Alexis was anxious to find her daughters. When she ran into Mac at the hospital, she begged him to help her. Max advised Alexis to check with the emergency room in case Molly or Kristina had been admitted. Moments later, Molly ran up to the mother. Alexis dropped to her knees in relief as she hugged her daughter fiercely. Afterwards, Alexis asked Molly where Kristina was.

Patrick was concerned about Dominic's injuries, but Dominic continued to downplay them. Dominic refused to cooperate when Patrick asked Dominic for the name of a family member to contact. Dominic claimed that he didn't want his mother to worry about him. Dominic was also bothered by the number of people waiting for an update on his condition, so Patrick offered to send everyone away. After Patrick left, Morgan entered the examination room to talk to Dominic. Dominic tried in vain to hide that he was having difficulty breathing. Morgan thanked Dominic for saving his life, and then offered to give Dominic his New York Yankee helmet. Dominic wanted Morgan to hang on to it. Moments later, Dominic was seized by a coughing fit that produced blood.

Sonny was stunned when he approached Olivia while she was saying some Hail Marys for Dominic. Sonny questioned Olivia's concern for a man that she barely knew. Olivia appeared to panic for a moment until Sonny unwittingly provided Olivia with a logical excuse. Sonny suspected that Dominic reminded Olivia of Dante. Moments later, Patrick emerged from Dominic's examination room. Sonny immediately offered to cover all of Dominic's medical expenses. Patrick appreciated the assurance; however, he was more interested in contacting Dominic's family. Patrick explained that Dominic was bleeding internally, but they were unable to determine the source of the injury.

Epiphany questioned Rebecca about Monica's whereabouts, because she didn't know how to reach Jason. Epiphany explained that someone needed to make medical decisions for Edward. Rebecca confessed that Monica had flown to a medical convention and that her flight wasn't expected to land for several hours. Ethan, who stood nearby, informed Epiphany that Tracy was also unavailable. According to Ethan, Tracy had gone to Manhattan and he had not been able to reach her on her cell phone. Nikolas suggested that Rebecca was the closest thing that Edward had to family. At the hospital, Jason stood in the hallway as Jake was wheeled away for tests. Inside an examination room, the doctor explained to Lucky and Elizabeth that Jake's pupils were reactive, but that he had sustained some head trauma. When Elizabeth pushed for more information, the doctor admitted that it was possible that Jake had suffered a skull fracture. Lucky insisted on accompanying Jake for the tests. Elizabeth agreed; she had to call Audrey to let her know what had happened.


Later, Elizabeth returned to the room. Jason was still there. She apologized for falling apart, but Jason waved the apology away; he was just as worried about Jake. The doctor popped his head into the room to ask Elizabeth to meet him in his office, where Lucky was waiting. Elizabeth promised to update Jason on Jake's condition as soon as possible. After Elizabeth left, Jason stepped out into the hallway just as Jake was being wheeled by. Sam appeared moments later.
In Jake's hospital room, Lucky was frustrated because the doctor had not updated them on Jake's progress. Elizabeth was hopeful that the lack of news boded well. Meanwhile, Jason stood in the hallway watching them through the room's window. Sam stood next to Jason. She offered to get Jason anything that he needed, but Jason declined. As Sam started to walk away, Jason reached for her hand. Sam was startled by the action and looked up at Jason. Jason continued to stare into his son's hospital room. In the morgue, Mac was handed Andrea's personal effects. Mac couldn't believe the mayor's misfortune; first his mistress was murdered and now his wife had been killed. Spinelli was in the line of fire when Anthony's men ambushed him at a warehouse. Luckily for Spinelli, Johnny was on hand to save him. As the Zacchara men sprayed the warehouse with bullets, Johnny and Spinelli ducked for cover. Afterwards, the men were confident that they had killed whoever had been inside. Spinelli waited until the Zacchara gunmen had left before he turned to check on Johnny. Johnny had been shot and was bleeding heavily. Spinelli managed to help Johnny out of the warehouse. When they reached a safe location, Spinelli called 9-1-1. Spinelli was frustrated when his initial attempts to get through to an operator failed. By the time Spinelli did reach someone, Johnny's situation was dire.

On the next General Hospital...
  • Olivia's on the verge of telling Sonny everything.
  • Michael has an unsettling memory about Jax .
  • Jason and Sam inch closer.
