Dante is on the phone, calling Lulu –
has her purse in his hands; getting worried, he says. He should be frantic.
Well, well… Lulu just came to the surface again. Morgan is completely flipping out at the
police station, threatening to sue everyone; says he should have shot
everybody. Jordan orders him put in
shackles – she wants him restrained.
His doctor (Andre) walks in and demands that they release his patient to him
right now. Paramedics are at the docks to get
Kiki.
Dixon (the gunman) is taunting
Sonny, “the cripple” he calls him, pointing the gun at him… Sonny looks pissed. Lulu is treading water pretty good, while
Dante looks all over inside the boat, then just as he steps out the door, she
goes under again. I guess he sees her
because he jumps into the water; but he’s swimming down about twenty feet, when
it appears from the camera view she is just below the surface – and now after
all that time, she is seemingly unconscious.
Ana and Paul are blaming each other.
Morgan’s doctor explains to Jordan that he is having an acute manic episode and he is a
suicide risk; she agrees to let him go to the hospital.
Back at the church, Dixon is demanding to
know which girl is Sonny’s daughter – same tries to say she is but he doesn’t
believe her… no reaction from Sonny.
Surprisingly, Ava jumps up and offers herself as a hostage instead. He orders her back into her seat. Dante pulls Lulu onto the boat; thank god…
he gave her mouth-to-mouth! Not just
chest compressions. It’s about
time. Dixon grabs Cristina, and turns
to point the gun at everyone else; Sonny jumps out of his chair and knocks him
down. He is standing there, with the gun pointed at Dixon when Carly walks in.
Lulu breathes; Dante tells her he
loves her so much. I’m guessing they
are going to get back together.
Good. Agents are at the church
now – Ana and her officers are taking statements; Paul makes apologies. Carly is a little upset with Sonny for lying
to her; she tells Ava about Kiki being shot, with surprising compassion. Ava heads to the hospital after slapping
Paul. Alexis suspects Sonny knows
something about what happened there tonight – he tells her he knows as much as
she does. Nathan is taken to the
hospital now; Nina is impressed with Franco’s attempt to stall the gunman. Ava comes to see Kiki; she screams at
Morgan, telling him it’s his fault Kiki has been hurt.
Dante brings Lulu in. Ana thanks Sonny for his assistance in
taking down the gunman; he walks out of the church. Paul tells Ana they make on hell of a team and she is
appalled. Carly goes to look at the
crime scene on the docks; starts throwing guns (from the crates) into the
water. Now, come on… there is no way
they would have left those guns there, unsupervised, with just crime scene tape
around them. That’s laughable (this is
the kind of stuff I’m talking about; stupidity). Ana tells Paul she does not even want to be associated with him,
honestly. Jerome apologizes to Alexis;
she tells him she knows this was not his fault. Kiki is now on a breathing machine – Ava kisses her. Morgan realizes he screwed everything up.
As a faithful viewer of General Hospital for thirty+ years, I'm getting concerned for the fate of the show. My other two favorites were cancelled a few years ago; All my Children and One Life to Live, ever-so-briefly revived on the internet, not to yet be seen again, are lost for good it seems. My intention is not only to keep viewers who might have missed out on episodes informed of what is going on, but also to point out the stupidity occasionally written into episodes. Watch out writers!

The wedding continues, everyone there
oblivious about what’s going on down at the docks. Lulu is now being held captive, mouth taped shut, hands tied to
the railing of her boat; Kiki tells Michael everything she knows and Michael
says he’ll take care of it. But it’s
too late – Morgan has all of the men at gunpoint, telling them to throw their
guns in the water. Kiki heads out the
door. Dante has a bad feeling; Lulu
hasn’t text him back. The men concede
and throw their gun in the water.
Still, for some reason, Morgan ends up firing his gun.
Alexis and Julian say their vows. A lady calls to report shots fired near Pier 54; Dante is really
worried now because that’s where the Haunted Star is. Apparently, the shot missed hitting anyone, but two guys are on
the ground looking a little frightened.
Paul is trying to talk Morgan into leaving; two of the guys jump Morgan
and grab the gun. Now Morgan is the one
on the ground. Alexis and Julian
exchange rings. Ava notices Kiki isn’t
there. They don’t wait for the preacher
to say kiss the bride before kissing. The guy holding Lulu throws her into the water – hands
untied now; but she instantly sinks, as if she is knocked out cold.
Morgan stands up to the guy holding the gun on him now and tells him to
shoot him; Paul tells him he better not or Sonny will hunt them all down and
kill them. Says this kid is crazy; and
that makes Morgan flip out again – Kiki runs into the scene telling Morgan to watch out –
she gets shot. The federal task force
gets there with Ana; one guy sneaks away.
Meantime, Lulu is still sinking… then jets to the surface. The preacher finishes the ceremony and
announces them husband and wife. The
guy that got away runs into the church, shooting; he’s going to hold everyone
hostage. Sonny tells him he better walk
out of here right now. He tells Sonny
that Morgan screwed everything up.
Apparently Lulu can’t swim because she just sunk again, keeps going up
and down; Dante just got there and is calling out for her. The gunman (Dixon) makes introductions. Ava is thankful Kiki isn’t there.
Commissioner Jordan is upset that Ana and
Paul didn’t let her know this was happening… Morgan is taken in as a federal
witness. Michael says he will go with
him. Paramedics are on their way; Carly
starts CPR. Sonny is trying to talk the
gunman into letting him call a car, Sonny offers money as well; Nathan stands
up to try to tackle the gunman while he’s distracted, but gets shot. Lulu calls out to Dante, and then sinks
again – this time, I guess, passing out – she is having visions of her life
with Dante, meeting him, falling in love.
Dante still doesn’t see her. Morgan
makes such a scene at the police station that he gets arrested. Nathan lays bleeding on the floor, Lucas
tries to help, but is threatened by the gunman; Maxie gets up and tells him he
will have to shoot her then because she is going to help him. He allows her to go to him.
While he was standing in front of Sonny’s
chair talking to everyone else, I was thinking Sonny was going to stand up and
tackle him from behind; but no…not yet I guess – he turns around and points the
gun at Sonny, saying maybe he should just shoot him now. End of episode.
Monday 02-22-2016
Ok, so everyone is getting ready to head to Alexis and
Julian’s wedding; Nicolas and Hayden are taking their time though. Maxie brings Nathan his tuxedo at work –
Julian cuts his hand opening a bottle of champagne (the blood on his hands,
from Olivia’s vision). Olivia is still
uneasy though… suggests they leave Leo at home with the Nanny. Sonny is prepared to make his appearance; he
says a prayer. Morgan, however, is
still on the docs, ready to prove his manhood.
Ana is talking to Michael; wants to make sure no one from
the Corinthos organization interferes with the sting going down tonight. Paul is trying to close the deal now;
trouble getting the crates off the boat.
Morgan waits. They have a new
actress playing Carly’s youngest… the little girl (Joslyn); she had gone to
live with Jax but is back for the wedding.
Ava, Kiki and Lucas are all heading over to the church. Olivia tells the girls she still has to
finish her vows; she reads a letter that Julian left for her, recalling all the
moments they had together falling in love.
Julian is surprised to see Sonny, but pleasantly so – he explains that
he is there for Cristina. Sam
congratulates Hayden on their wedding when they finally show; mentions Vegas
(to see if it bothers Hayden).
Kiki
gets Morgan’s voicemail; now she’s worried.
Nina finds out that Franco never wants to get married… Franco makes a
scene, announcing loudly that he thinks marriage ruins everything. Everyone looks at them. Ana is still there when Michael finds
Sonny’s empty gun case; he suspects Morgan is up to something. Morgan comes out from behind the crate –
hiding the gun for the moment. He tells
the men who his dad is; that they should be concerned about doing business in
his city. The men want to ‘get rid’ of
Morgan; Paul tells them they should just let him go. Brad gives Lucas a ‘wedding present’ (his divorce papers from
Rosalee); Brad doesn’t have time to tell him how… wedding is starting. Kiki calls Michael and tells him Morgan is
on Pier 54. Morgan pulls the gun out
and tells the men he’s in charge now.
Tough guy.
Friday 02-19-2016
Lulu confronts Olivia about her part in trapping Dante and Lulu in the
hotel room; Olivia is thrilled to hear that they are at least talking. Dante asks Anna if she any insight on who
might be running arms through Port Charles.
Ava meets with Paul; Dixon wants to meet her personally, and does. It’s the day of Alex and Julian’s wedding;
she’s frantic. Sam shows up to help
with the finishing touches.
Kiki tells her cousin, Lucas, about Morgan’s latest dumb
decision. Morgan tells Sonny he’s
moving out; Sonny wishes him well with no job and no place else to go. Morgan tells Sonny he got a job offer from Julian
Jerome. Sonny reminds him to be
careful; to remember that he is sick… tells him it’s best if he goes, though,
if he won’t take his meds – tells him he loves him, but he can’t help him if he
won’t help himself.
The girls give Alexis the traditional wedding gifts
(something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue); an old
toy Camaro from Sam…a reminder of Sam’s conception, a new family photo from
Cristina, a pair of handcuffs (borrowed from Diane) and blue ribbons from
Molly. Cristina figures out that Molly
finally had sex; Alexis cries. Then she
tells the girls they can tell her anything, any time… Molly tells Cristina
that’s her cue. She assures Alexis its
no big deal; it can wait until after the wedding.
Anna calls Paul out for gun-running… he tells her he’s
working on a sting operation. Asks her
to help him bring this guy in tonight; Anna says they have to make sure Sonny
stays out of it – Paul assures her Sonny is not a problem. Kiki tells Ava she and Morgan are over
again, this time, for good. Morgan
tries to call Kiki… he has big plans to prove to everyone that he is not the
screw up they think he is. Lulu puts
herself in danger, going back onto the boat.
Dante has a missed call from her.
Paul shows up with the money (sting, in action); Morgan is hiding behind
a crate with a gun.
Thursday 02-18-2016
Olivia comes to tell Julian she had another premonition (then lies and
says she just wanted to wish them a wonderful future)…see blood on Julian’s
hands in her vision before leaving. Sam
asks Nicolas why she should investigate his new wife; Hayden is talking with
Diane; having legal papers drawn up that Nicolas doesn’t know about. Sam refuses to Nicolas at first, after all
he’s done to her – he asks her to consider helping for Spencer’s sake. She concedes. Nicolas tells her about Baxter Corbin and the fact that he called
Hayden ‘Rachel’ in Las Vegas. Paul
tells Anna about his daughter, Susan, from whom he is estranged. Kyle Sloan’s fault, he says; Paul cut her
off for doing drugs when she met Sloan… he demeaned her, physically assaulted
her, raped her and beat her savagely one night. Says he looked for her for years, but lost track until he was
called to replace Sloan as district attorney.
Morgan tells his parents he is taking his meds (but he’s not). Tells Sonny he wanted to work for his real
organization and leaves mad. On the
docks, Morgan overhears a discussion about a gun shipment – they rented the
Haunted Start to make sure the docks would be empty at 6pm. Carly and Sonny are worried about Morgan; he
might do something stupid.
