Lucky's Losing It. Thursday, July 31 2008

Lucky goes to Nikolas with his worries, Anna literally kicks Eli out of town and Jason is told how badly Sonny treats him from two people he trusts.

Things at GH are going from bad to worse. Anna makes sure that Elijah gets a tour of an ambulance before she kicks Eli in the face for being a deadbeat dad. Trish thanks Anna and mentions something about the tabloids as she makes her leave. Patrick stoops down to the floor to give Eli a lecture about the privilege of being a father. Robin and Anna are joined by Noah and they are all struck by Patrick's words. When Patrick is finished, Eli is put into a wheelchair and given a few choice words from Anna on his way out. Noah tells Anna that Eli doesn't deserve someone like her. He turns to Patrick and tells him that he's going to be an amazing father.

Out at the Wyndemere stables Nik confirms to Nadine that she is important to him. "Kinda like my sister," he clarifies. Nadine tells him that is not a compliment. In fact, it even implies that she's not a woman she accuses. She gets all riled up and tells him that she is a grown woman and can damn well do whatever she pleases even if that means go undercover. On her way out the door she tells him never to call her cute!

Jason shows up at Monica's room in rehab so that he can wish her well before she comes home. He explains that he won't get to see her anymore once she leaves here. She saw this coming so she has very well rehearsed points to make about how many sacrifices he has made all these years because of Sonny Corinthos.

Claudia plops herself down at Ric and Sonny's table at The Metro Court. She brings up the subject of brothers and asks if they share their deadliest secrets. She asks if they are close now or is Ric playing his big brother. Then she brings up the subject of loyalty and ponders how much anyone can really trust anyone else. She weaves a few scenarios about what they might be up to, and finally Ric has had enough and leaves. Sonny tells Claudia not to play with him by threatening to tell Ric about Karpov. She tells him that from where she sits it looks like he's going for revenge against Jason.

In Manhattan, Lulu is teasing Johnny about the proper peanut butter-to-jelly ratio and somehow they end up ripping each other's shirts off. Before they get to the bottom button, Lourdes shows herself into their apartment. She makes a lame excuse about Sal needing help, so Johnny leaves to give him a hand. Then Lourdes starts to quiz Lulu about whether "Joe" is the only guy for her. She continues to pepper Lulu with questions and Lulu does her best to deflect them. Finally Lourdes says that she wonders if they are hiding out or something. She says that as a musician, Joe needs to put himself out there. When Johnny returns, she offers to set him up with some club owners, but he declines. She asks for another lesson and Johnny agrees. Lulu can't understand why he's being so nice, but goes into the kitchen to start dinner. The second she's gone, Lourdes calls him Johnny. She tells him that she knows what's going on but hasn't told anyone yet.

The Quartermaine house is bustling in anticipation of Monica's return. Edward warns Tracy to be on her best behavior, but it doesn't seem to register. Scott shows up and warns them that they will pay for Lulu's part in Logan's death. Alice pipes up and says that Scott is just trying to get back at Mr. Luke. Tracy tells Scott to leave or she'll press charges, and in turn, Scott says that he'll send Lulu to prison. As they are all bickering, Monica walks through the door and smiles because nothing has changed. After Alice threatens to throw Scott out, he leaves. Monica tells her family that she feels like she has walked into a house of morons. She tells them not to walk on eggshells around her and then proceeds to remind them that this is her house - Alan gave it to her.

Jason returns to his penthouse and finds Spinelli trimming the house plants blade by blade. His communing with nature calms him, but he quickly picks up on Stone Cold's stress. Jason explains that he'd like to help Monica but he can't get close to her because of his business. Spinelli hesitates slightly and then tells him that he found proof that Mr. Corinthos has indeed met with Karpov. He reminds Jason of all the sacrifices he's made for Sonny and says that he deserves better. He suggests that Sonny doesn't deserve Stone Cold's loyalty.

Lucky goes out to Wyndemere. Nik can see that something is really wrong with him and Lucky admits that he's been having panic attacks. Nik says that his dad's MIA, Lulu's on the run, Laura's gone and his marriage fell apart, so it's natural that he'd be having panic attacks. He asks if he's okay and Lucky admits that he doesn't think they'll see Lulu alive again. Lucky shakes it off for the moment and they talk about their plan to find some dirt on Dr. Hunter. Nik says that when Nadine talks about her theories it reminds him of the way the four musketeers used to be. They recall their Emily and Elizabeth days fondly.

Dr. Hunter finds Nadine looking over the medicines at the clinic and she begs him not to tell Nikolas. He teases her that the phony pills aren't likely switched once they're here, they are already in the bottles when they arrive. Then he grabs her by the shoulders and asks what she is up to. Without waiting for an answer, he tells her that he's interested in making more money too and maybe they can help each other. Just then Nik comes in and tells Matt to treat Nadine with respect. Nadine is not pleased by the interruption.

Anna and Noah have gone out to dinner together. As they sit outside on a bench, Noah tells Anna that she might miss the rock star thing. As she's denying it, she looks at Noah and has an epiphany. She says that she thinks she was attracted to Eli because he looked like him, not the other way around.
