Please forgive any errors or omissions...I didn't have a chance to
re-watch & take notes, but I *did* watch most of it twice. I was off
yesterday and couldn't resist watching part of it in real time (GAWD,
were the ads always this awful??) and clicking over to ATWT on our
hour-delayed CBS affiliate to see if it had improved any (NOPE!).
So...here you go. :)

THE BEGINNING OF IT ALL (in which we, the audience, are assumed to have
the brains of...nope, I'm trying to be objective here...) Basically, the
beginning is exactly the same as the ending of Friday, repeated for
people who missed the excitement on Friday. Same sequence of events,
Brenda & Jax walking toward each other and getting married, Lily walking
toward the car and getting in and turning it on, ending with the clink
of champagne glasses and the explosion and Sonny screaming no.

HELL IN PORT CHARLES: At this point, the action picks up where it left
off, and Luke and Mike simultaneously grab Sonny, holding him back, but
he breaks free and starts to run for the car, and then Jason flies into
the scene from nowhere and pretty much slams him into the wall to
prevent him from running toward the car, and then there is another
explosion. Laura and Bobbie come running out, and Laura, of course,
immediately thinks something happened to Luke (not all that far-fetched,
considering she just heard about Harper's unfortunate day at the lake).
They take Sonny inside and the crowd kind of disperses and gets quiet.
Lois and Ned are there as well, and in all the confusion, Lois says, in
this teeny tiny voice "Where's Lily?" Jason leaves, and Sonny is led to
a table where he sits down with Luke and Laura. Mike gazes at him,
wanting to help, but he can't think of a way to do it. Laura tries to
talk to Sonny and comfort him, but he does not respond, and Luke says "I
know what *I'd* want," and goes to the bar to get a fifth of some kind
of whiskey and pours Sonny a shot.

 It sits untouched, as he stares at it, and Luke turns around, gets a
look of hate on his face and says something like "Oh, GOD" and takes a
swig of it himself before sitting it back down on the bar, in front of
Mike, who turns his gaze to the bottle. Then we see who Luke
saw...Garcia, who finds out it was Lily who was killed and almost goes
berserk, in his controlled way.

They come in to say the ambulance is there, and Sonny leaps up, saying
he will go with her, and Luke and everyone tell him not to, and Luke
says "You can't see her, Sonny" and says "You don't want to." He sits
down and cries.

Jason goes to find Robin and tell her, and Mac and Katherine hear it
then, and then Mac gets the call, they go separately to Luke's (Robin
goes with Jason). When they get there, Robin goes to Sonny immediately
and he holds her and cries. He looks up at Jason and orders him to take
Robin home and keep her there, and Mac follows her and tells her to stay
if you want but keep out of Sonny's sight and let him think he's done
some good.

 Garcia asks where the bodyguards were and Mac said she was with her
husband, and Garcia gets sarcastic about the safety of that, and then he
says that he warned her that staying married to Sonny was a death
sentence, and Mike lunges across the bar and tells him to respect the
dead and not say another word about his daughter-in-law and to respect
his son. Garcia challenges him to do something about it, saying there
are plenty of witnesses and Katherine and Mac manage to calm the
situation down. Katherine tries to make Mike feel better about
everything, but Mike is not to be consoled, saying that Lily opened a
door and there had been a possibility of a relationship between him and
Sonny but now that's gone (really? I don't think so) and that he was
looking forward to watching Sonny do all the things right that he did
wrong. Lois gets really upset and doesn't know why, and Bobbie tells her
because lives were wasted here tonight and helps to calm her down.

Luke takes Sonny home and offers to come in, and Sonny tells him he
doesn't have anything to say. Luke offers to check the place out, and
Sonny goes "what are they gonna do, kill me?" Finally, Luke leaves,
after a really nice comforting hug between Luke and Sonny, and Sonny
goes in, alone. Luke goes back to Luke's and Laura and Mike both say
"You left him ALONE?" He says that Sonny didn't want him to stay (so
what?!) and that it wasn't his call and that he was tired and wanted to
go to bed, and they leave, with Luke saying "don't even THINK about
court tomorrow," or something like that.

Mac tells Garcia that if he has a problem to feel free to replace himself.
Garcia says "a problem? with Corinthos?" and Mac says no, with his wife.
Garcia acts like he doesn't know what Mac is talking about, and Mac
says "all I know is how it looks." At the end of the evening, Katherine
tells Mac that he was just wonderful, that he was so compassionate and
considerate of everyone's feelings, that he knew just what to say to help
everyone, and it really impressed her. He said "you're tired and you
need some rest," no doubt in shock over something selfless coming out
of her mouth, I know I was. She smiled and said that was exactly what
she had been talking about.

Jason is at Robin's house and she is upset, suddenly gets Sonny's
housekey out of her purse, and Jason tells her no, she can't go over
there. He pulls an envelope out of his jacket and says he will go, he
had a reason, that he was supposed to deliver this envelope to Sonny but
in all the confusion he forgot to do that. She gives him the housekey
and makes him promise not to leave Sonny alone, no matter what he does
or says. Jason goes over, and Sonny is sitting in the apartment, and
Jason lets himself in (talk about a risk! Jeez!) and Sonny stares at him
and says "Why the HELL do you have a key to my house?!" and asks him why
isn't he with Robin like he said. Jason says that Robin gave him the key
and told him to come over. Sonny says "Is that the way you obey...is
that the way you obey an order?" and gets angry. He says he had this
envelope to deliver and Sonny takes it from him and says that they were
going to Puerto Rico the next day and these are their plane tickets and
gets choked up again. Jason sits down then, and Sonny asks what he's
doing? This may have come actually right after the obey an order
comment, but I'm not sure. Jason says that yes, Sonny had ordered him to
stay with Robin, but Robin said for him to come over and stay with
Sonny, and this is just a job and Robin's worth more than that. Sonny
yells "I don't give a DAMN WHAT ROBIN SAID!!" and Jason says "well, all
you can do is fire me." and Sonny whispers (literally, we at home could
barely hear it) "you think that's the most I can do to you?" and then he
yells it. Jason says "I don't need anything, I'll just be here" and
Sonny goes up to bed, interrupted by Jason saying "It's not your fault."
He pauses halfway up the stairs and begins to cry again.

HEAVEN IN THE MEDITERRANEAN:
Blissfully unaware of all of the happenings back home, Brenda and Jax
feed each other wedding cake and hold each other, look at the stars,
and then they begin to talk. She points out to him that she is a married
woman and she doesn't even know her address or what time zone she's in
or what she will do from this point on, and he says that they don't need
a map of the future, just to take it day by day, and then he says if
she insists on a plan, that they can look at the stars and then take
a moonlight swim, and then make love all night, and then have breakfast
in bed, and then have a morning swim, and so they stand together and
look at the stars. A bit later he holds her on his lap and she admits
to feeling a little bit scared about being single one minute and
married the next, and he says it's only natural, and he asks if she
had ever thought she would marry Sonny? She says she thought he didn't
want to talk about it, and he says he does. She said yes, of course
she did, and he asks how long were they happy together, and she says
"not long" and he asks how long they were miserable together, and she
says "most of the time" (I think, I'm trying to remember & can't). Then
he says that since her concept of marriage was being miserable together,
that it's only natural that she is afraid of it, but that she will fall
in love with him and one day she will look back and say "that didn't
hurt at all." They get up to take their moonlight swim (this may have
actually been before this conversation, can't remember) and he takes
off his shirt, and the camera focuses on his stomach as he unzips his
pants and takes them off, and she unzips her dress, flirting with him
as she does so (Have I mentioned that I LOVE her hair like this??) and
then they proceed to make love right there on the deck.
