It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas--at least at Liz's house! Pity she isn't there to see it...
Liz is introduced to her mysterious fellow Shadybrook patient--but something about him definately rings a bell; Michael is mourning Abby's death; Sam opens up to Michael about Franco; Jason is starting to worry about his outbursts of anger and it looks like there might just be another wedding in Port Charles--as long as Lulu doesn't change her mind!
Starting off with Liz, we see that she's still a Shadybrook patient. She signed herself in for help getting over Lucky, but it looks like that day might come sooner rather than later.
She is introduced to Euen, a fellow patient who is painting in the next room. He's a tall, blond handsome Aussie (GH just fired Jacks--did they think they needed another one??)and Liz thinks they've met before: in the water by Spoon Island. Could Euen be the mystery man who saved her?
Speaking of Lucky, he and Maxie are at Liz's house, getting the place ready for the holidays. They say it's for the boys, but we shall see...
Meanwhile, in Chicago, the pain of Abby's tragic death is starting to hit Michael. He's blaming himself and tells Sam that he needs to be the one to call Abby's family.
He calls her mother and tells her about her daughter's death. Michael is stunned by her mother's cold reaction, as she asks him if he is calling her for money for the funeral!
Amazed, he asks Sam how a parent could turn her back on her child; adding that Abby's father had vanished from the family years before.
Sam buries her head in her hands and starts sobbing, and Michael realizes that she is crying about something else, not Abby. Sam opens up to him; telling him that Franco had raped her while she was in Hawaii with Jason, so this case is now very personal.
Jason is dealing with his anger issues and Spinelli is trying to help him in his own way.
Spinelli tries to get him to determine when the outbursts first started happening and Jason lashes out at him. He apologizes, telling him that he knows he's being a good friend to him.
There's a knock at the door and it's Monica! She's carrying the same message: these outbursts are starting to worry everyone that loves him.
Monica has the name of a specialist that she wants Jason to make an appointment with to get help. She leaves the doctor's card with him and hopefully Jason makes an appointment.
Now for the good news: Lulu goes to see Dante at the PCPD and asks if he still has her engagement ring. She tells him that she made a huge mistake giving it back to him and if he will still have her, she would love to be his wife.
Dante asks her if she is REALLY SURE, saying that the back and forth is killing him (duh). Lulu assures him that yes, she is REALLY SURE, so Dante puts the ring back on her finger and announces to the PCPD that yup, they are going to tie the knot this time. The room is filled with applause, as the happy couple kisses..
Will Jason get help for his outbursts? Will Dante and Lulu really do it this time? Stay tuned!
