A busy Thursday in PC! What with the Markham Islands story winding down, finding out where Sam was moved to, seeing the connection between Jason's cohort Stan and Epiphany and sadly seeing Sonny start to melt down, I don't know where to start.
We start in the Markhams, where Tracy has finally found out where Luke is hiding. It's bad timing for our boy, as usual, as he's finally going to be able to make some time with the lovely Holly, much to Robert's distress. Tracy makes a typically grand entrance, being carried in by 4 studs on what looks like an ottoman, or something close to it. She's talked out of not going for everyone's jugular, and lets Robert take Anna, Dylan, Robin and Lulu to the airport. Naturally, Tracy has paid for everything, including tickets for everyone to Port Charles.
Back in PC, it's a bad time for Mike, who's gambling again. It's gotten so bad that he's forced to come to Sonny for money. What's even worse is that now Mike's got a black eye, after he was beaten up by associates of people he owes money to.
Sonny is actually very nice about it, and offers to pay off all of Mike's debts. Mike can't figure this out--but Sonny says that since Mike is the only father he has, he realizes that he's been punishing him long enough. He actually invites Mike to dinner with him and Emily. Mike turns down the invite.
This actually turns out to be a good thing, because Sonny loses control in a scary way. He's eating pasta with Em on the patio and insists the sauce is burnt, which Em insists isn't the case. Sonny throws his plate on the floor, ripping the tablecloth off the table in the process, in front of a stunned Emily. Good thing that Mike didn't see that!
On the baby front, Maxie convinces Diego to make a call to Jax (using the voice scrambler of course!), to scare him, saying they know the truth, etc. Carly walks in on them at first. (They are outside of Kelly's). She isn't able to see what they are doing. Good thing, because as soon as Diego realizes it's Jax (he called again after she left), he wants no part of it! Jax is having none of it, and still wants to tell Nicholas everything.
Meanwhile, Jason enlists his helper Stan to go to General Hospital to find out where Sam has been moved. Epiphany finds Stan (now dressed in scrubs) hacking into the computer--not before he's discovered that she is in a clinic in Connecticut! But the big news that we find out from their conversation is that Stan and Epiphany have a connection--he's her son! Very interesting! Right when Jason is prepared to move on this information, he runs into Alexis, who tells him that Sam is coming back to GH, under one condition: that he stay away from her. Wasn't able to see how he reacted, but I'm sure we'll see this on Friday.
We finish where we started--the Markhams. Luke drugs Robert's wine to give him more time with Holly--while Robert, who thinks he's sleeping with Holly, is actually in bed with "Spanky" (aka Tracy!!) That should be a hoot when they realize what happened!
