Hi All. It's Terry's Tuesdays Time. Enjoy.

Maxie and Elizabeth have their claws out when Lucky breaks it up at the nurses' station. Before Liz can spill the contents of the file folder, Maxie spills her guts, admitting the whole fake pregnancy thing. She tells all, unashamed. Ya, I switched the bloodwork, I stuffed a pillow, I faked the miscarriage, so what? She tries to whitewash, and turn it around on Elizabeth, but Lucky is having none of it. He’s as shocked as Maxie is nonchalant. He tells her she’s the worst mistake of his life and gives her the old heave-ho. She leaves, and Liz sits down and comforts her ex. He had no way of knowing and he should be proud of sticking to his principles.
Sam’s no match for the tiger lady. The Divine Miss Q. has had her P.I. dig up some really juicy dirt on Sam. At first, Sam denies the alias (Angela Monroe), but once she sees the ‘picture’, she caves. What is it?? Has to be porn, or something like that. ( I think that’s why the writers used the Monroe handle. Remember Marilyn’s regrettable nude photos when she was Norma Jean?). Anyhoo…later on Sam buckles and tells Edward that she must resign. Edward instantly suspects Tracy, but Sam deflects the blame and cooks up some cockamamie story. Mr. Q. accuses Jason (who just arrived) of coercing his love to quit. Jason looks dumbfounded (his natural state, he’ll never understand women). Tracy gloats and smirks on the staircase.
Lorenzo finally wakes up in the ICU with Skye gushing all over him. She tells him the whole story of the shooting and the attempted murder by needle in the I.V. Of course, Mr. Craig is skulking in the background. Lorenzo excuses Skye and then accuses Craig of the dastardly needle deed. He denies it. They get a little frosty and threatening with each other until Epiphany throws the goon out. Later, Skye grills her man about the shipment details. He claims not to know what’s in it, but it could be dangerous. She wants to know how Sonny fits in.
Can there ever be a wedding in Port Chuck where something doesn’t go terribly wrong??
(Of course not, this is soap land). Carly and Sonny are in the courthouse, about to tie the knot, when Carly bolts. Lulu had brought the boys, and Bobby and Mike showed up too. So Carly’s hiding in a closet while Lulu is trying to explain through the door. Jason and Sonny chat in the hall. Jason is on to Sonny about trying to take advantage of the situation and win Carly over to a real marriage. He reminds his boss that it’s just to keep him out of prison. Then Jason takes over at the closet door and promises Carly to help her with the quickie divorce. Diane (the lawyer) is urging Sonny to be honest; he doesn’t have to marry Carly. There’s a witness that will prove his self-defense claim. Sonny won’t listen to any of them. He’s a man in love (or is it in control?). He’s convinced that Carly loves him more than Jax. So, Jason convinces Carly, and they get on with the ceremony. What a tortured wedding. Carly has to take off her engagement ring to make room for Sonny’s wedding ring.
The Nicholas and Emily chapter is a bit slow today. They spent the whole episode on the plane to Greece, in pursuit of Helena. He gets a call that she’s been spotted with an infant.
Later, Maxie shows up at Kelly’s, and admits the whole sordid affair to Georgie and Lulu. Ms. Spencer calls her a lying whore. Ouch.
The wedding reception at Sonny’s is excruciating. He tries to feed cake to his bride and dance with her. She looks like she’s swallowed razor blades. Carly gets Max to fake an emergency phone call, and Sonny gets called away. She grabs the boys and hops on a plane to Aspen. Later, Sonny vents his spleen on poor old Max who stands shaking with his hands full of coffee cups. The boss is furious and banishes Max from his sight.
