General Hospital Update for Tuesday, 9-May-2000

The episode picks up with Carly ordering Luke out of "our house". Luke immediately picks up on that and wonders if Sonny has completely lost his mind that he is shacked up with his niece. As Carly keeps yelling at Luke to leave, Sonny refuses to respond to Luke's accusations that he hung Roy out to dry, set him Roy up, or otherwise led Roy to having a target on his back. When Carly speaks up again, Luke calls her a slut! At which point Sonny finally speaks up, telling Luke to show her respect because she is carrying his child (nevermind the siple fact that she is his niece, or that Luke is a guest in the home).
Cue, Mac & Taggert discussing the discovery of Dr Gladstone's body in his office (per Chloe's dream). Mac demands Stephan get brought in for questioning & for a rush on the autopsy. Taggs then informs Mac that Luke is back in town, as fate would have it, Felicia arrives at just that moment.
Juan shows up at Emily's window (don't the Q's have any kind of security system?). He finds her writing a sappy, oh I'm sorry, a lovely moving love poem.
Switch to Liz & Lucky on the dock. Liz asks him not leave, he responds drily "I'm not going anywhere". She reaches out & he lets her hold his hand which she brings to her cheek. As Liz starts to wax eloquent on how she has missed him & can't believe he is there now, Lucky responds with pleasantries; "It's nice to see you", "how have you been?", "Is everything all right with you?", "It's good to be back". Rather unpleasantly reminded me of an encounter with an ex-boyfriend who was a complete cold jerk in the aftermath of our relationship. there did seem to be some emotion in Lucky's eyes, but the words that came out. . . were cold & distant.
Before we go to commercial, we return to Em & Juan reading her poem. (Goodness, I hope this poem does't reappear set to song.) Juan pledges to carry the poem with him everywhere & that his & Em's relationship is different & not temporary.

Taggert wisely decides to leave Mac & Felicia to themselves, although it's obvious that Mac would rather he stay. Felicia tries inviting him to dinner to no avail,& then asks if he'd answer differently if she brought the kids home. Mac asks if she is inviting him out because Luke is busy, and then points out that she is using her daughters to try & get him back, and using him to try & get her girls back, and that he won't be used that way. He then dismisses her with "Better not keep Spenser waiting"
Back at Casa Corinthos, Carly urges her uncle to congratulate her on her pregnancy. He questions whether Sonny is sure it is his. Sonny tells him not to go there, and then takes a phone call from Larkin who tells Sonny he has till the end of the week to turn over Roy. As Luke continues to accuse Sonny of wrong-doing regarding Roy, Carly finally blurts out that Roy is an FBI snitch. Luke doesn't believe her, and Sonny urges Carly (yes, that wording is mild) to be quiet, he confirms Roy's involvement with the FBI, but refuses to involve Luke what is going on with Larkin. Luke finally leaves, but not without warning Sonny that nothing had better happen to Roy or Bobbie, and not to turn his back on Carly.
Stephan & Alexis show up at Commisionar Scorpio's office, per request. Yada, yada, yada. Same old stuff, Mac & Tagg accuse Stephan of killing Dr Gladstone & kidnapping Lucky, Stephan protests his innocense & proclaims Lucky will clear him when he is found. (Given Lucky's weird attitude, I wouldn't count on that if I were Stephie)
As expected, Felicia goes straight to Luke's office, with him not there, she wraps his coat around herself & settles into wait.
Mike & Tammy are having dinner at Luke's to celebrate his day's winnings at the track. They spot Laura arriving, who is heading towards Luke's office, Tammy calls her over to discuss the status of Lucky (whew, otherwise she would have found Flee)
Cue Liz & Lucky, who continue their odd conversation. Lucky keeps repeating that he doesn't want to see his parents. Liz tells him how she went with Nik to try finding him in NYC. She tells him she loves him; he responds by getting up & saying "It's good to see you, too." Liz grabs his hands to stop him from leaving, and he begs her to let him go. Tearfully (Liz has been putting her tear ducts through a lot lately) she does.
Mac finishes with Stephan & Alexis, and tells Taggert he's heading to Luke's.
Switch to Luke arriving at his office (via a back door, since Laura, Mike & Tammy didn't see him). He expresses his joy at finding Flee & comments on her wearing his jacket. Flee updates Luke on Mac & her daughters rejection of her. As Flee paces the room, she keeps getting closer to Luke, and pretty soon, she's right there & they kiss.
Back to Mike, who is reassuring Laura that Lucky is fine & will probably be home soon, not to worry. Laura excuses herself to find Luke (oh, oh!), but Mac arrives & stops her to discuss Dr Gladstone's death & Stephan's possible involvement.
Tammy calls Mike on his over abundance of reassurances to Laura, & Mike confesses that he saw Lucky.
(Golly, this episode was packed)
Sonny has brought Carly over to the couch to calm down, and given her a mug of something to drink (whatever it is, she makes a yucky face when she finally finishes it). He then instructs her to stay upstairs next time Luke visits, she says "I'll try". As he tries to push the point, she responds that Luke has no right to talk to him that way. Sonny smiles & laughs at this, to which Carly responds "why are you always laughing at me?" He shakes it off that he is just getting used to her (getting used to a woman, who doesn't shake, apologize & accept every order he gives). He then says he should have thrown Luke out when he called her a slut. "Why? that used to be your favorite word for me" "I was wrong"
After a commercial break, Carly points out she has done some pretty awful things, to which Sonny agrees & starts to list some of them. That she has used Mikey to get what she wants & doing so tore Jason apart. He won't let her do that to him. Carly points out that he has quite a way with compliments. He continues that she has learned from her mistakes, and once she realized the error of marrying AJ, she tried to fix things; "you tried hard, sometimes stupid, but you tried hard".
As they continue the conversation, Carly again pushes him to admit he likes her, & that the ring proves it. He says no, the ring is about respecting her; "no difference". She then sets her finished drink down, Sonny jumps up to wipe down the wood finish. Carly jumps up to stop him, saying "you drive me crazy with that!". He turns the tables on her by saying, "but you like it" Carly playfully tells him to shut up & pulls him into a kiss. (loved this scene, balance of serious & playful, and sexy)
Back at Luke's, Luke & Felicia are getting pretty steamy, shirts come off, the desktop gets cleared, and Luke's hand goes for Flee's leather pants. But Flee changes her mind, pulls away, grabs her shirt & runs out of the office. It's unfortunate that she doesn't know about the back door, because as she goes running out the front door, with her hand holding her shirt together & Luke following her, also pulling his shirt back on, they run past Mac & Laura's gapping mouths. Mac offers to take Laura home, and she accepts. Flee tearfully leaves also, proclaiming "I've ruined everything".
Back to Sonny & Carly in a wordless scene, he leads her back to his room & twirls her around before pulling her back into a kiss, removes her robe, his shirt . . .more kisses. Then he twirls her onto the bed. Both are all smiles inbetween kisses.
Final scenes are of Liz interupting Em & Juan to cry on Em's shoulder over Lucky's cold shoulder. She begs Em to talk to him (strange, given she still doesn't know where he is staying or how Em could find him to talk to him). Lucky returns to the docks where he remembers the Valentine's day promises of love he & Liz exchanged. He does seem to be teary eye-ed as he comes out of this revery, but shakes it off. Hmm. . . what is wrong with him?
Scenes for tomorrow show Lucky suprizing Emily in her bedroom, Flee crying on Bobbie's shoulder, Luke questioning Alex about Roy who tells him to talk to his sister. Hope this wasn't to long.
