Sonny gives a nice narration about memory, and how much it
defines us; he says “we are the sum total of the connections we’ve made and the
people we’ve lost.” Beautiful. Mike looks at pictures as we hear him speak;
Sonny, Michael and Dante come in all dressed up and tell Mike they are taking
him out. They go to “Luke’s”… Mike asks
how this is possible; Luke’s burned down years ago. Sonny tells him that he called Luke up and they decided to give
it a second go; he tells his dad to get behind the bar, saying he needs someone
to help run the place. Mike jumps right
into action; he recalls most of the guests.
Sonny thanks Kevin for his advice.
An old (black and white) clip of GH plays when Elizabeth mentions her
grandfather first meeting her grandma; Monica says he led by example. Bobbie sees Scotty and thanks him for
coming; he says he did it for her, not Sonny, but says he does respect what Sonny’s doing for his father. Bobbie tells
Scott, if he wants to pay tribute to Lee, he should be the “good man” Lee knew
he could be. An old clip of Scotty
begging his dad to represent him plays; Scotty tells Bobbie its her fault he
never became a judge on the supreme court, blaming it on her bringing her
brother to town. An old clip of Bobbie
and Luke, talking about his coming to town, plays. Bobbie tells Scotty that she knows he secretly likes Luke; Scotty
groans.
Felicia and Mac show up; Mike
asks Sonny when Brenda is going to show up, laughing about how long she takes
to get ready. Sonny takes a breath and
smiles. Bobbie asks where Maxie is;
Felicia and Mac say they tried, but she isn’t “there” yet. Bobbie asks if she can try; Felicia says
please do. Maxie tells Bobbie she
doesn’t feel up to a party; Bobbie says this isn’t a party, it’s about helping
Mike. Ned tells Olivia about his
grandfather; an old clip of Edward and Lila Quartermaine plays, Lila
complaining about them not being married yet.
Ned tells Olivia she does for him what Lila did for Edward; she tells
him not to forget that. Monica opens up
to Michael a little bit about herself and Alan; an old clip plays of them
having a pillow fight. She said no one
could make her angrier, or make her laugh harder; she tells Michael she misses
him every day.
Anna arrives; Sonny
introduces her to his father. Mike recognizes
her name as “Robyn’s mother” and tells her Robyn is an amazing girl; Anna tells
Sonny about a time she thought she had lost Robyn forever. An old clip of Robyn, as a little girl (age
8 or 9), running into Anna’s arms, plays, she tells Sonny she swore she’d never
let her go and never bring her unhappiness again; Sonny says all you can do is
love your kids and be the best you can for them. Carly asks Jason about the old times; she tells him that Luke
blackmailed her to stay away from his sister, calling herself a “conniving
witch… up until the day Michael was born.”
An old clip of Michael’s as a newborn plays, Jason holding him for the
first time; she says he changed everything.
Jason looks at Michael; Carly tells him they were talking about how tiny
and fragile, yet tough, he was as a baby.
Carly says “time flies.” They
smile. Sonny can’t believe it’s been 23
years; an old clip of Sonny asking Robyn if Stone was dead, plays. He says “he was 19… he’s been gone longer
than he lived.” Anna says “he lives on
in her heart.”
Olivia announces “Eddie
Mays” (aka, Ned); he sings and plays guitar with backup. Maxie comes in with Bobbie; beautiful as
ever, she stands stoic. She goes to the
bar and is introduced to Mike; Bobbie and Felicia talk. Maxie compliments Mike’s mixing ability,
when he makes her a pomegranate spritzer.
Bobbie tells Felicia that she told Maxie the only way to honor the dead
is to embrace living; she smiles and says Maxie is already figuring out that
the easiest way to deal with grief is to help others. An old clip of Felicia and Bobbie plays; Felicia is in tears and
Bobbie comforts her, after they get the news of Georgie’s heart condition. Felicia thanks Bobbie for her daughter. Alexis congratulates “Eddie” and an old clip
of her, dressed up naughty with a rose in her mouth, sitting on Ned’s bed
plays… she says that wasn’t one of her best moments. He says it was; she smiles.
Mac recalls Lucy’s strip show/nurses’ ball; clips from various nurses’
balls play. Mac tells Lucy she always
wore great dresses over the years; Lucy calls him “Eve.” Kevin recalls getting dressed up with Mac;
this old clip plays, the two of them in drag as Eve and Norma. Kevin tells Mac he’s been a great
friend. Mike teaches Michael how to
shake a drink in a mixer; Dante tells Sonny this was a great idea. Dante asks his father if he ever thinks that
his money and power came at too great a price; Sonny says he has a lot of
regrets. The clip of him shooting Dante
plays; Dante tells him that he liked him in spite of everything, even back then
and he is honored to be his son. Sonny
tells him he is a great son; they hug.
Monica talks to Jason about “looking back” and says it’s not so bad to
remember the past every now and then; Jason says he is learning that. He apologizes for not ever letting Monica
tell him any stories; she tells him one now, about her son coming to her
rescue once. A clip of Jason stopping Monica
from shooting someone, plays. They tell
each other “I love you” and he calls her mom; she smiles and they hug.
Sonny tells Carly he owes her everything,
saying he would have blown it all to hell if it wasn’t for her; an old clip of
them plays. She says nothing worth having
is ever easy and they tell each other “I love you” and kiss. Mike tells Sonny he is proud of him; Sonny
says he has done better than he expected and far better than he deserves. Mike tells him he is a good son; they drink
“one for the road.” Sonny toasts to a
hell of a night and a better tomorrow as he leaves Luke’s.
