General Hospital Update for Friday, 22-Mar-2002

T.G.I.F.-T.G.I.F.-T.G.I.F.-T.G.I.F.-T.G.I.F.-T.G.I.F

OPENING CREDITS…
In the office of Club 101, Zander asks Carly to be more specific about what she meant when she said “How far are you willing to go with me?”. Carly explains that Sonny has a problem and SHE has come up with a solution. She wants Zander to help her “put the screws to Skye”…
At ELQ, a nervous Skye tries to get rid of Sonny. She tells him Edward isn’t there-Sonny says he’s there to see her. She says she has NOTHING to say to him and threatens to call security to get him out. Sonny says, “Go ahead! What are you going to tell them? That there’s a stock-holder on the premises?” He asks her where AJ is. Skye says as far as she knows he’s in the hospital. Sonny tells her about the escape and tells her to listen up cause he’s about to make her an offer she can’t refuse…
As Alexis and Jax return to her PH she wonders if she should call Benny and report Sonny’s apparent disappearance. She then second guesses herself and wonders if that’s what she SHOULDN’T do. Jax makes snide remarks about her relationship to Sonny. He says Alexis is more worried about Sonny than her own safety. Alexis refuses to go live on the yacht, again. Kristina arrives…
In Nik’s office at Wyndemere, Gia tries to hurry Helena into hiding, but due to the pain in her abdomen Helena is slow to move. She does however have enough breath to threaten to implicate Nik, if Gia doesn’t do something to help her. Out in the hallway, Luke and Nik’s progress is delayed by Laura’s arrival just long enough for Gia to help Physco-Granny into the tunnels. By the time the trio enters the office, it’s empty…

COMMERCIAL BREAK…

Elsewhere at Wyndemere, Lucky pounds on Liz’s bedroom door. Liz finally opens the door, but tells him she is still too angry to talk to him. Lucky refuses to leave until Liz hears him out…
As Nik phones several bankers to alert them of Helena’s escape, Luke explains to all why he believes Helena is on Spoon Island…
Jax informs Kristina of Helena’s escape and wants her to help convince Alexis to relocate to the yacht. Alexis tells Kris she can go if she wants to. Kristina also refuses to go and Alexis declares the subject closed. Alexis then fills Kristina in on the latest happenings including AJ’s and Courtney’s escape and Sonny apparent disappearance. Kristina says she got to know Courtney a bit, and hates that a weasel like AJ is using her. She then lays into Skye for helping AJ and wonders what Jax sees in her. This apparently clicks something in Jax brain as it sends him out the door immediately…
Carly explains her plan to Zander. She wants him to help her dig up something on Skye that they can use against her to get Skye to help find out where Courtney is. Zander tries to reason with Carly and talk her out of another crazy idea. Carly tells Zander she isn’t stupid; she managed to make a club out of an old run-down building, and she will make the plan work too. It appears Carly is gaining ground as Zander considers her words…
Skye says if Sonny is offering his ELQ stock then she is willing to listen. This makes Sonny laugh and he hands her the note from AJ. After she reads it, Sonny says she knows why it is UNACCEPTABLE and tells her he intends to end it, HERE AND NOW…

COMMERICAL BREAK…

Lucky tries to explain his actions to Liz and convince her that he REALLY does want to go away with her. Liz can’t over the fact that he lied, especially since Lucky declares he would do the same again to protect her. With Liz’s angry words still ringing in his head, Lucky leaves, but lingers outside her room for a moment. Sarah observes Lucky outside her sister’s room, and after he walks away she knocks on Liz’s door and tells Liz was right about Lucky…
After hearing Helen’s riddle, Laura agrees with Luke that Helena is just messing with Nik’s head. Lucky has arrived and his advice to Nik is to forget it. Luke decides a search of the tunnels is called for. He opens the bookshelf and finds….
GIA…
Zander wants to know if SONNY asked Carly to help. Carly declares that it doesn’t matter and insists that they need to use Skye to get to AJ. She then asks Zander “Are you with me or not?”…
Skye asks Sonny “what if I don’t help?”. Sonny says “then we have a problem”. Skye quips, “What are you going to do? Break my kneecaps? Fit me for cement shoes?”. Sonny explains that he cares for HIS sister as much as Skye appears to care for HER brother. He tells her that if she helps get Courtney back safe and sound, in exchange AJ will walk away-in one piece. This upsets Skye and she starts to babble abut how Sonny threatens everyone, a comment that Jax arrives just in time to overhear…
Kristina nags Alexis about Sonny, but tries to explain that she is doing it because she cares. Alexis insists that Kris stop trying to figure her out. She explains that when someone pushes her, she either recoils or lashes out by saying something she might not mean. However, Kristina continues to push until Alexis angrily yells out to leave her alone, that she should be the one to decide who and when she will share her thoughts and feelings with. Still very upset, she continues “You don’t care about my feelings because I’m in love with a man you can’ stand”…

COMMERCIAL BREAK…

Skye appeals to Jax to help her get Sonny to leave. Sonny explains to Jax that he made Skye an offer and entreats him to explain to Skye that sometimes-even enemies strike deals. Jax tells Sonny he knows about the escape and understands how he feels. Jax fills Sonny in on Helena’s escape and the Cassadine sisters’ refusal to hide. He tells Sonny to make sure they are kept safe. After Sonny leaves, Skye tells Jax to go after Sonny and help AJ. Jax says it’s not his concern, and advises Skye to take Sonny up on his offer…
Zander worries that illegal activities stemming from Carly’ plan could land him back in jail-a place he has no desire to revisit. Carly is given pause for thought when Zander points out that Michael would suffer if Carly were the one to end up in jail. When Zander presses, Carly admits that though she’s tried, she can’t get over Sonny and is willing to risk it all to help him out…
Alexis, very upset about what she just said, tells Kris to stuff it, when Kris begins to comment on Alexis’ admission. With a last “don’t say a word” look, Lexi practically runs upstairs…
Nik and Luke question Gia on why she was in the tunnels. Gia hastily spins a story about how she heard something and thinking it might be Helena, decided to investigate, but got lost. Laura commends her for being brave, Nik doesn’t appear to really believe the story, and Luke insists on searching the tunnels. When he moves to open the bookshelf, Gia can’t stop herself from calling out “Wait, Don’t go in there”…

COMMERCIAL BREAK…

Liz doesn’t understand why Sarah has changed her mind about Lucky’s attitude. Sarah says that Lucky must really care about her since he didn’t walk away as soon as the love was gone. She says she thinks Liz should hang in awhile longer, she believes Lucky isn’t TRYING to hurt Liz, that he’s is a great guy, well worth the wait…
Luke asks why they shouldn’t go into the tunnels and Gia starts spinning more lies. She says that she already searched and found nothing. When they doubt she search they whole 5-mile layout of the caves, Gia admits that maybe her outburst was brought on by residual fear from being lost in the caves. Laura proposes that they will be OK if they just work as a FAMILY. Gia, on the verge of tears, suddenly bursts out again “I’m, sorry, I’m so sorry”…
Skye is upset with Jax over is attitude about AJ. Jax says AJ knew what he was up against when he took Sonny on, so he has only himself to blame. Plus, AJ crossed the line by taunting Sonny, therefore, any sympathy Jax might have been inclined to feel is gone. Skye flings angry word at Jax “Maybe you’d like to execute him yourself!.” She THEN asks why he came back to the office. Jax tells her he figured Sonny would come looking for her so he came to make sure SHE didn’t get hurt. Skye is speechless as she realizes that once again she has driven Jax away…
Zander tells Carly that if she really loves Sonny like she says then she should respect his wishes and decisions. He also reminds her that Sonny has certain rules that he takes to heart and breaking them will only drive a wedge between her and Sonny. Carly doesn’t want a lecture from Zander. Before leaving the office, Zander advises Carly to leave the situation alone and let Sonny deal with in his own way…
Kristina’s pacing is brought to a halt by a knock on the door. She opens to find Sonny on the other side. Sonny asks to speak with Alexis and Kris gets in his face again about his treatment of her sister. Short on patience, Sonny walks away from her toward the door, commenting that he will just call Alexis on the phone. Kristina further upset Sonny when she comments that it’s no wonder Courtney ran away. Sonny demands she explain. Kris tell him that he make people feel insignificant when he just walks away with out acknowledging their comments. So Sonny tells her what he thinks of her, “You’re a selfish child with too much time on your hands.” He tells her she should stop telling people things that they didn’t ask to hear and that are none of her business. If she has issues with Alexis, she should take them up with Alexis, and if she doesn’t like it in the PH, then she can just MOVE! Alexis appears at the top of the stairs, but makes no comment, so it is unclear how much of the conversation she overhear. An unusually quiet Kristina mounts the stairs as Alexis descends. Once face to face with Sonny, Alexis offers an uncomfortable hello…

COMMERCIAL BREAK…

Luke jumps on Gia’s comment and wants to know what she is sorry for. Gia, stalling for time, explains saying that she just isn’t a “team” player, ask anyone. Nik appears concerned by Gia’s nervousness. When Luke tells Lucky to follow him into the tunnels, it’s Nik who calls out for them to stop…
On the street Jax pauses by a news-stand and tells someone on the phone to put out the word out that he is offering a 5 million $ reward for information leading to Helena's capture. He picks up a copy of a paper and reads the headline story of ELQ’s new co-CEO Skye Chandler-Q. The paper quotes Skye as saying that she hopes she doesn’t let Mr. Jacks down after he placed faith in her and hope he will be proud of what she accomplishes…
Skye arrives at Carly’s office and meekly (at least for her) asks if Jax is around. Equally surprising is Carly’s smile and friendly invitation for Skye to “come in, sit down”…
Alexis tells Sonny he looks terrible and that he should rest. When Sonny turns toward her sofa, Alexis quickly adds “in your OWN PH”. She leads the way across the hall. While Sonny pours himself a drink, Alexis nods her head in the direction of the kitchen and asks if he is hungry. With an amused laugh (the one that brings out his dimples) Sonny says, “What would you do if I was?”. To which Lexi quips “I’d order in!”. She then offer to get him a glass of warm milk or sing him a lullaby despite singing like a drowning cat. Sonny manages to render Alexis speechless when he asks if she is going to tuck him into bed…
