General Hospital Update for Friday, 11-Aug-2006

If you wanted to sum up today's episode in one phrase, I think it would be "reeling from the aftershock". The world has ended as they know it for three of PC's leading citizens. And with that, here we go!
Liz has just found out about Lucky and Maxie, and walked in on them getting ready to do the nasty in her bed. This was after getting that fake phone call from Maxie bringing her over there.
Liz is understandably bitter and hurt, and goes back to GH to lick her wounds, where she sees Georgie, one of the last people she wants to deal with at that moment. You can tell she's trying SO hard to be nice to Maxie's sister, but it's an effort. She asks Georgie about whether Maxie has found a job, and gradually the whole thing comes out.
Aghast that it's been going on for awhile, Liz tells Georgie when she brings up Dylan that she's just out of high school and has no concept of a marriage and responsibilities, etc. When she runs into two Doctors flirting, Liz goes off on them, saying that one's engaged and should know better and have they thought about the other people involved?
Epiphany jumps in here. She sends Liz home (she's the shift supervisor--who knew??)and Liz crumbles when she says that. Poor baby!
And now for Alexis. Coming back to the Lakehouse, was she ever shocked to see Rick making it with Sam on the couch! She covers up as best as she can, telling Jason, who showed up behind her, that noone was there and could she have a ride back to the hospital?
She arrives at the hospital to interview an assault victim and crumbles afterwards. You can tells she's just a big pile of hurt. Fortunately, Rick had made those reservations at the Metrocourt, since the AC had gone out at the Lakehouse (and it was soooo steamy there anyway!) She's still trying to shake the cough she has and imho, it almost sounds like Asthma. But more on that, I'm sure.
Let's talk about Lulu's predicament. She took a pregnancy test and it's positive. Being that she has no adult figure to guide her, with Laura at Stonybrook, Luke god knows where and Lucky on the pitypot, she heads over to the piers to figure out what to do.
She runs into Sonny there, who offers her a shoulder. After she confides in him, Sonny pledges to help anyway he can--from arranging an adoption to giving her money if she wants to keep the baby. Sonny was really quite sweet and Lulu is appreciative. After he leaves, Dylan shows up and tells her that yes, he and Georgie are getting back together. Poor Lulu!
On a kinder, happier note, Patrick and Robin meet up again for dinner, but decide to share it with the HIV patient that he was working on when he was exposed. Everyone had a great time and it was really sweet to see. After all, according to Patrick "the food at GH sucks!"
We end up with Jason, who came back to the Lakehouse and saw his own version of the Rick-Sam floorshow. He's hurt and reeling and comes back to his apartment--when there's a knock at the door. Surprise! It's Liz!! And we'll have to wait till Monday to see how it turns out!
