General Hospital Update for Wednesday, 19-Oct-2005

Skye encountered Maniacal Manny at La Casa Alcazar. At GH, Emily woke up at Sonny's bedside. Aw, how sweet...and Soiled! In the park (now standing in for the Elm Street Pier), a smug Ric introduced Jason to Hector Ruiz as the man who'd shot his son (Plural, actually). D'oh! At the PCPD, Brook filled in JumpStreet Jesse and Lainey on her second roofie incident. JumpStreet was all hot to arrest Diego but Lainey cautioned him against it. At Kelly's, Lucas wasn't feeling quite so "festive" about his Coming Out and was even crabbier about Georgie's burst of Pride on his behalf. Dillon spied them chatting and got a bit jealous, wondering if the two were playing kissing cousins again. Manny got his flirt on and Skye (and the recapper) was impressed by how far up his tattoo went. Lorenzo's arrival gave nervous Skye the opportunity to flee and then Manny informed Alc' that Hermano Javi was dead and Lorenzo would be helping him pay back the killer. At that moment, Ric was introducing said killer to Papa Hector. Jason was forced to fill Hector in on Javier's death as Ric pretended he'd stepped out of a Godfather sequel. At the hospital, Monica eavesdropped on more Emily and Sonny bonding and then burst in for a good old-fashioned anti-Sonny rant.
Back at the PCPD, Det. Rodriguez imparted the news that a pothead named Kenny was their new perv suspect — thanks to Diego supplying them with a sample roofie. Dude, JumpStreet was bummed. Back at Kelly's, Lucas made Georgie pinkie swear not to Out him to anyone else. Between the Spencers and the Joneses, "I got manly man coming outta my ears." There was too much pressure to live up to them so he was happy to play hetero. At the Q mansion, we were gifted with Jedward, Ned, and Alan — and Big Alice in a sexy, updated maid's uniform. Tracy showed up and they all boggled at Alice's new threads. And then Luke arrived. Ah-ha! That explained it. During some much-missed vintage Q. banter, Skye picked up the morning paper and was shocked by the pics of Lorenzo's pals Manny and Javi. At Chez Alcazar, Manny demanded manpower (Mannypower?) or he'd tell everyone Alkie had been backing his action from Day One. Dios mio! Elsewhere, Smug Ric patronized Jason, thinking his deal brokering had gone well. Back at GH, Monica kept ranting and then Sonny sent Emily on a Super Secret Mission. At the PCPD, the gang was baffled by Kenny the Pothead being the stalker but all except JumpStreet and Dillon let Diego off the hook. Back at Avenue Q, Luke assured Tracy he wasn't divorcing her without $15 million bucks. At GH, Sonny's flowers for Reese were WAY bigger than Ric's. "Overcompensate much?" thought Ric before getting all puffed up about his mobtastic success. Meanwhile, Jason dropped by to check on Sonny (aww!) and tattle on Ric.

Back at the PCPD, a thankful Brook hugged Jesse and Lainey told Justus she didn't believe Kenny was the PCU stalker. Tracy called Luke on hiding from Skye in their marriage and then dumped hot water into his lap to assure him, "I'm no ice queen. In fact, you haven't begun to feel my heat." Ric and Reese kept finding common ground (that Alexis is apparently nowhere near) as he figured Sonny would be appreciating his mad mob skillz. Not so much, though, because Sonny assured a testy Jason, "I will handle Ric." Back at the station, JumpStreet, Det. Hot Rod, and Lainey argued about how Kenny didn't fit the profile. Hot Rod closed the case despite Lainey's protests. Monica made Jason promise to talk to Em about Sonny. Jason had a dizzy spell once his mom walked off. Nearby, Sonny blasted Ric for blindsiding Jason and ordering him around. Ric realized there was nothing Ambiguous about this Duo after all. Sonny patronized him about the business, assuring him, "You're smart. You'll learn." Speaking of learning, Skye wisely headed over to Avenue A and broke things off with Lorenzo. Cut off at the knees, Ric came back to Reese and they kvetched about coming in second to Jason and Carly. Emily returned from her Secret Mission and revealed to a teary Sonny that Crazy Carly was even crazier. Aw! In the Stairwell of Not-So Imminent Doom, Hector surveyed Javier's outline and tried to convince Manny to drop the whole Revenge thing. "Okay, Papi, if that's how you want it," Manny agreed — before shooting his papi in the back. Thump! "There will be retribution," Maniacal Manny promised, "for Javier and for you." In the hospital elevator, alone, Jason began to collapse. Dios mio!
