General Hospital Update for Tuesday, 11-Apr-2000

Our mixed marrieds sit down to dinner at the Grill. They discuss Jax taking Edward down a peg.

Luke and Laura are hugging as Felicia joins them at the Triple L. They relay all the places they’ve searched and then Felicia says she needs to go home now. She is apologetic at leaving them, but Mac isn’t returning her calls. Luke gives her a big hug and thanks her for everything. Laura just looks on…I can’t tell if she’s stunned, or pleased, or angry, or what.

Mac retells the entire Felicia saga to Miriah (sp! Sorry…) She asks him whether he can ever take Felicia back, but before he can answer Gerorgie comes in wearing pajamas and says she had a bad dream.

Mike and Tammy come in to the Grill. He sees Ned, Jax, Alexis, and Chloe. He’s hesitant to stay because of the Gertrude fiasco. Tammy says they ought to hit it head-on, and so they do, and wish all the newlyweds the best…until they tell him they’re all divorcing. Tammy smirks and Mike just looks confused as they are led to their table. Later, Mike speculates that there is more to those four than meets the eye. She comments that they probably just rushed into marriage; he responds by saying that that’s exactly why he won’t be getting married any time soon. Back to the kids, Jax takes a phone call about a business deal, so does Ned, and Chloe and Alexis have a heart to heart about her condition and that she cancelled their trip. Ned overhears that Jax is really talking to a doctor, not a business deal and they discuss some researchers that he is tracking down. Ned comments that perhaps the reason Jax is going after Edward is because he needs to fight someone he can actually beat.

Rae and Tony follow the guy from the thrift shop to the ER. Rae is surprised to learn that Tony is no longer a surgeon. He goes off to follow the patient, and she is left waiting at the nurse’s station. Alan bumps into her and asks what she’s doing there. She retells the Bible saga and explains the shop owner was brought in. They grin at each other, and speculate about what his family might think. He says they don’t suspect anything, but they should get their stories straight (as he is grinning like an idiot)…unfortunately Amy overheard the exchange. She comments that what happened between them a long time ago. She asks him if his memories of her are good. He says yes, but reports he and his wife are in a difficult time, and now is not the time to tell her about past indiscretions. Monica walks up trying to talk to a clearly distracted Amy, notices Rae and Alan, and moves over to talk to them. They chit-chat until Monica has to take a call. Rae reassures Alan that she won’t say anything. He asks what the papers she’s so anxious about are. (SPECULATION/SPOILER: maybe the missing kid is his?) After a commercial, she tells him she found out she was adopted and looking for records of her birth parents. (In case you’ve missed other days, this contradicts her other story, which is that she gave up a baby for adoption and is trying to find her.) Tony comes back up and they chat about his hand and her quest.

Luke and Laura sit down at the diner and speculate about why Lucky ran. She doesn’t understand why Lucky left clues and then ran, and she thinks it might be that the diner was being watched and that he knew it was a trap. Luke thinks that either Helena released him or he escaped, and he thinks they need to assume that he escaped and be careful. Laura is positive that Lucky would have gone straight to Elizabeth. They decide to split up, and Laura is going to go home and wait there.

Back to Mac, he’s cheered up Georgie and sends her back up to bed. Mac is unsure about whether it was the right thing to bring the girls to Miriah. She reassures him that the girls would be better off with her where it’s stable and presses him for an answer. He says no and goes upstairs to tuck in Georgie.

Taggert and Hannah come into the grill, then Hannah runs to powder her nose. Mike tries to clear up what he meant with Tammy, telling her he had a difficult past and he feels a lot of guilt about Sonny. She completely understands. He comments that he worries Sonny will make the same mistakes. (Jeez, hint, hint! LOL) Dara comes over and sits down. She’s dressed to the nines, and thanks Taggert for his invitation to dinner. He awkwardly tries to tell her the message was to let her know where he was, not to invite her. Hannah comes up and asks Dara if she’s joining the celebration. Dara awkwardly offers to leave, and they graciously invite her to stay, but she goes. They sit down to celebrate, and we pan over to Dara looking not too happy.

Alexis and Ned are in bed, and he’s trying to kiss her, and she’s distracted. Alexis tells him about how Chloe cut off their vacation for Jax’s deal. She’s suspicious that something is off because Jax can do business anywhere and it’s out of character for him to go along with plans to cancel a trip. Ned tells her that the phone call during dinner was with a couple of doctors, not about business. Ned asks if Alexis knows which ELQ company Jax is going after. She says “no” and seems curious about why he wants to know. He also shares his theory that Jax is lashing out at Edward to compensate for what he can’t control: Chloe’s illness. He also speculates that Jax is going to take all of ELQ, not a subsidiary. He acknowledges that Jax might win if it’s just Edward. He also worries about Emily and Brooke Lynn’s inheritances, and Ned tells Alexis he’s counting on her to help keep him sane. He tells her it’s a heavy burden, but he is asking her to do whatever it takes to keep him preoccupied and not get him to go back. (So is she going to marry him or send him out on tour, I wonder?)

Chloe tells Jax that she believes her medication is going to work, and his deal is going to go well, and then they will have a wonderful victory trip. He tells her he knows her medication is going to work, and he’ll give up the deal in a heartbeat for her. They snuggle. She worries that he’s going to hurt Edward, and reminds him that she adores both Edward and Lila.

Miriah and Mac continue their talk. She wants to know if he doesn’t have an answer, or he just won’t take her back. He says Felicia has changed. She used the girls to get him to come back home. That’s why he brought them to Miriah. He clearly doesn’t trust her, and doesn’t think he can ever trust her again. He says no he won’t take Felicia back.

Cut to Felicia in tears at the airport playing with her wedding ring. Laura comes up. They’re going to be on the same flight. She’s going to go home and wait for Lucky while Luke keeps looking. Laura asks if she got in touch with Mac, and shares her condolences about how everything seems to be turning out. She leaves and Felicia looks thoughtful. (Maybe she’s going to turn around and stay with Luke?)

Back at the diner, Luke chats with the waitress. She tells him that Lucky said he had to keep moving. He realizes that Lucky is probably hitchhiking and asks for directions to the nearest truck stop.

Next on GH:
Roy tells Bobbie he can’t stay.
Jax tells AJ he has an interesting idea for him.
Edward tells Ned he obviously needs some operating capital.
Lucky looks through the window at Kelly’s and sees Em and Liz talking.
