They think she may be upset because they didn't tell her about Jax and Alexis. V and Simon arrive together. V explains that she isn't quitting because she is mad. Ned asks quitting what?

Bobbie returns to the Q mansion to see Carly. Carly is surprised to see her. Bobbie says that she just wanted to make sure that Carly was all right. Carly says that she has a son to take care of so she has to be all right. When Carly gets a little choked up, Bobbie asks her again what is wrong.

On the docks, Sonny tells Juan that he understands that he doesn't want to go home. But he isn't going to stay in Port Charles.

One of Mr. Sorrell's men overhears Sonny talking to Juan and quickly dials his cell phone. He tells the other party that he thinks it is time to send Mr. Corinthos the message.

In the Q crypt, Felicia wakes up in Luke's arms and tells him about a wonderful dream she had. She feels bad because Mac wasn't the man in her dream. She tearfully asks what if it is her last dream? As she starts to cry harder, Luke takes her into his arms for a comforting hug.

Ned is shocked when V hands him her letter of resignation. He wants to know why. Ned and Jax start to argue when Ned accuses Jax of stealing her away. Chloe interrupts and tells the men to pay attention. They both realize that Simon is the one taking V away. V confirms saying that Simon is taking her on a cruise around the world.

Carly tearfully tells Bobbie that she married AJ for love. Love for Jason and Michael. AJ was threatening to take Michael away and send her back to Ferncliff. He's a Quartermaine. He has power and she doesn't. She had to believe him. Bobbie tells Carly that in the U.S. people just can't take babies away from their parents. Carly points out that it happened to Bobbie. Bobbie finally understands why Carly did everything when Jason was out of town. Accusing him of kidnapping, cozying up to the Q's, all of it. Bobbie wants to know how Carly thought it was going to end. Carly says that you never know. Her plan was to set AJ up to look like a bad parent. She was going to try to drive him to drink so that she could walk away from the marriage and with Michael. Jason was supposed to be waiting for them, but now he won't be. She tells Bobbie that Jason signed away all legal rights to Michael.

Juan doesn't want Sonny's help. Sonny says that he is in charge of Port Charles, but his will not be his place of residence. He angrily tells Juan to enjoy his time with Emily because he will gone by the end of the week. With that he leaves Juan and Emily alone on the docks. Emily apologizes to Juan because she knows that Sonny's harsh words hurt him. She suggests to Juan that he tell Sonny that he thinks he is his father. Juan thinks he would just lie about it. He has another way. He just isn't ready yet.

Felicia tearfully thanks Luke for not trying to force her to see the silver lining. Luke agrees that their chances of getting out of the crypt are getting slimmer. He tells her that if this is it for him, he should be thanking her. She coaxed him onto the life raft when he was drowning. She saved his life. Felicia tells Luke that she knew how he felt when Lucky died because of almost losing Maxie. Luke says that so many people tried to help, but she came and got him and held on to him. If her face is the last one he ever sees, he could have done worse. As they continue to comfort one another (and come agonizingly close to sharing a kiss...) the door of the crypt starts to creak. Mac walks in carrying a flashlight asking if anyone is home. Felicia runs over to Mac and gives him a big hug. Luke offers a little smile and a wave. (I for one am kind of sad that they were rescued this soon. I LOVE these two together. Nothing against Mac, but Luke and Felicia have some major chemistry!)

Felicia apologizes for not telling Mac everything in the first place. Felicia leaves with the other rescue worker leaving Mac and Luke alone. Mac is clearly not pleased with Luke.

Bobbie is surprised that Jason has given up rights to Michael. She refuses to believe that Jason has stopped loving Michael. Carly says that Jason thinks this is the best thing for Michael. Bobbie thinks that that makes sense. Jason is probably trying to make Michael's life easier. She can't believe that Carly was really planning on turning AJ back into a drunk. Carly says that she would've done what she had to. She tells Bobbie that Jason was so different when she met him. So much like a child, but then he grew up. She may not have everything that she set out to get, but she has done ok. She made a good marriage. She is Carly Quartermaine. She made her bed, now she has to lie in it.

Juan tells Emily, that when he confronts Sonny about being his son, he wants to be able to do it at a time when Sonny will be proud to have a son like him. Emily tells Juan that she doesn't think he has to prove anything. She just wishes that Juan would let Sonny see what she sees. How fun he is, how smart he is, how much everyone likes him. Juan laughs and asks who else likes him besides her. He says that she doesn't count. When Emily asks why, Juan says that she has to like him. It's required by law. This makes Emily laugh and she asks why it is required by law. Juan tells her it's required because she is his girlfriend. Emily laughs again and tells him to quit messing with her. Juan tells her that he can prove it to her. He leans in and gives Emily a sweet kiss. (at least I think it was sweet. Thanks to the GH lighting crew for once again making a night scene to dark to actually see, I had to kind of use my imagination.)

Juan pulls away and asks Emily what he told her. Emily says, a little dreamily, that she doesn't remember. Juan reminds her that he told her that she was his girlfriend. Emily says that she didn't sign anything. Juan's beeper sounds, interrupting the moment. Emily is surprised that he rushes off so quickly, but says that she will miss him at his prompting. He leaves her with another quick kiss and runs off to answer the page.

Ned, Alexis, Jax and Chloe are surprised that V is going to be gone for a year. Alexis and Chloe think it is romantic, but Ned and Jax think she is nuts. They try to persuade her to stay, but she is determined. Simon thinks that not working and seeing the world will be good for her. She tells a disbelieving group that Simon has agreed to work for a year when they return. Ned and Jax are dumbfounded when Simon says that he is going to be a lifeguard. V asks if they just can't be happy for her. Ned and Jax reluctantly agree.

Mac is furious with Luke for putting Felicia in danger. He can't believe that he actually encouraged Felicia to help Luke with his grief over Lucky. Luke turned her into a grave robber. Then he almost satisfied his own death wish. Mac angrily tells Luke that he doesn't get to play with Felicia anymore. She is off limits to him. Felicia walks up and asks if everything is ok. Mac says that he was just debriefing Luke. Luke concurs and then walks away. Mac and Felicia follow him out of the crypt.

Simon, V, Alexis, Jax, Ned and Chloe are all eating dinner together. They reminisce together about old times with V while they share a celebratory bottle of champagne. V and Jax steal a moment alone. V confesses that she was always a little bit in love with Jax. They would have driven each other crazy. V said that she needed someone to see the real her and Jax did that. He was the oversized gorgeous jock of a big brother that she never had. If he told her something, it had to be true. Jax asks who he is going to call when he needs someone to hear him think out loud or when he needs someone to tell him the truth. V tells him that he can always call her on her cell phone. Jax tells her that he is going to miss her. He also tells her to be happy. He offers her a goodbye hug. The rest of the group rejoins them and there are hugs all around. V can't stop crying as she says her final goodbyes to everyone. (This is Lisa Cerasoli's last show so it really is goodbye! I know I'm sad. I'll miss V.) Once Simon and V are gone, Chloe offers reassurances to Jax that Simon will treat V right.

Safely home, Felicia apologizes to Mac again. She also tells him that he can't blame Luke because she went along with everything. She is the first to admit that she didn't think about the consequences of her actions. Mac says that he is ok with her being her own woman, but he is not ok with Luke risking her life. He asks if she has had enough of this whole thing. Felicia promises to not do anything to endanger herself. Mac takes that as a no to his question about Felicia being ready to give up Lila's memoirs. He says that he has something that may help and hands her an envelope full of Elliot's letters.

Juan arrives at Mr. Sorrel's. Mr. Sorrel is furious. He thinks that Juan is working for Sonny. He tells Juan that he should have been more careful. He takes his pager away.

AJ finds Carly alone in the garden. She starts talking about roses, and then asks if he is working late again tonight. AJ says that he was trying to give her a little space. Carly thanks him, but says that she is fine. AJ thought she seemed upset after Jason's news. Carly explains that she wasn't sure Jason was sincere first, but now she is. She is glad that they are free to be a family again. As she and AJ hug, Jason is alone staring off into space.

Luke is on the docks skipping rocks in the water, when Felicia finds him. Luke is happy, but surprised to see her. She gleefully tells him that Mac came through on a little research for her. She thinks that she might be able to identify the other body in the Quartemaine crypt.

Sonny returns Hannah's Nurses Ball dress to her and they make up.

Mr. Sorrel is giving Juan quite a beating when Emily interrupts. Mr. Sorrel makes a quick exit leaving Juan gasping on the ground. Emily is horrified to see Juan all bloody and laying on the ground. She kneels beside him and asks if he is all right. She starts to become frantic when he doesn't answer. She screams for help and continues to talk to Juan hoping for a response.

Friday, July 16, 1999

Jax "catches" Ned and Alexis together and teases them about having an affair. Chloe arrives as well and they determine that they have all been summoned by V. They think she may be upset because they didn't tell her about Jax and Alexis. V and Simon arrive together. V explains that she isn't quitting because she is mad. Ned asks quitting what?

Bobbie returns to the Q mansion to see Carly. Carly is surprised to see her. Bobbie says that she just wanted to make sure that Carly was all right. Carly says that she has a son to take care of so she has to be all right. When Carly gets a little choked up, Bobbie asks her again what is wrong.

On the docks, Sonny tells Juan that he understands that he doesn't want to go home. But he isn't going to stay in Port Charles.

One of Mr. Sorrell's men overhears Sonny talking to Juan and quickly dials his cell phone. He tells the other party that he thinks it is time to send Mr. Corinthos the message.

In the Q crypt, Felicia wakes up in Luke's arms and tells him about a wonderful dream she had. She feels bad because Mac wasn't the man in her dream. She tearfully asks what if it is her last dream? As she starts to cry harder, Luke takes her into his arms for a comforting hug.

Ned is shocked when V hands him her letter of resignation. He wants to know why. Ned and Jax start to argue when Ned accuses Jax of stealing her away. Chloe interrupts and tells the men to pay attention. They both realize that Simon is the one taking V away. V confirms saying that Simon is taking her on a cruise around the world.

Carly tearfully tells Bobbie that she married AJ for love. Love for Jason and Michael. AJ was threatening to take Michael away and send her back to Ferncliff. He's a Quartermaine. He has power and she doesn't. She had to believe him. Bobbie tells Carly that in the U.S. people just can't take babies away from their parents. Carly points out that it happened to Bobbie. Bobbie finally understands why Carly did everything when Jason was out of town. Accusing him of kidnapping, cozying up to the Q's, all of it. Bobbie wants to know how Carly thought it was going to end. Carly says that you never know. Her plan was to set AJ up to look like a bad parent. She was going to try to drive him to drink so that she could walk away from the marriage and with Michael. Jason was supposed to be waiting for them, but now he won't be. She tells Bobbie that Jason signed away all legal rights to Michael.

Juan doesn't want Sonny's help. Sonny says that he is in charge of Port Charles, but his will not be his place of residence. He angrily tells Juan to enjoy his time with Emily because he will gone by the end of the week. With that he leaves Juan and Emily alone on the docks. Emily apologizes to Juan because she knows that Sonny's harsh words hurt him. She suggests to Juan that he tell Sonny that he thinks he is his father. Juan thinks he would just lie about it. He has another way. He just isn't ready yet.

Felicia tearfully thanks Luke for not trying to force her to see the silver lining. Luke agrees that their chances of getting out of the crypt are getting slimmer. He tells her that if this is it for him, he should be thanking her. She coaxed him onto the life raft when he was drowning. She saved his life. Felicia tells Luke that she knew how he felt when Lucky died because of almost losing Maxie. Luke says that so many people tried to help, but she came and got him and held on to him. If her face is the last one he ever sees, he could have done worse. As they continue to comfort one another (and come agonizingly close to sharing a kiss...) the door of the crypt starts to creak. Mac walks in carrying a flashlight asking if anyone is home. Felicia runs over to Mac and gives him a big hug. Luke offers a little smile and a wave. (I for one am kind of sad that they were rescued this soon. I LOVE these two together. Nothing against Mac, but Luke and Felicia have some major chemistry!)

Felicia apologizes for not telling Mac everything in the first place. Felicia leaves with the other rescue worker leaving Mac and Luke alone. Mac is clearly not pleased with Luke.

Bobbie is surprised that Jason has given up rights to Michael. She refuses to believe that Jason has stopped loving Michael. Carly says that Jason thinks this is the best thing for Michael. Bobbie thinks that that makes sense. Jason is probably trying to make Michael's life easier. She can't believe that Carly was really planning on turning AJ back into a drunk. Carly says that she would've done what she had to. She tells Bobbie that Jason was so different when she met him. So much like a child, but then he grew up. She may not have everything that she set out to get, but she has done ok. She made a good marriage. She is Carly Quartermaine. She made her bed, now she has to lie in it.

Juan tells Emily, that when he confronts Sonny about being his son, he wants to be able to do it at a time when Sonny will be proud to have a son like him. Emily tells Juan that she doesn't think he has to prove anything. She just wishes that Juan would let Sonny see what she sees. How fun he is, how smart he is, how much everyone likes him. Juan laughs and asks who else likes him besides her. He says that she doesn't count. When Emily asks why, Juan says that she has to like him. It's required by law. This makes Emily laugh and she asks why it is required by law. Juan tells her it's required because she is his girlfriend. Emily laughs again and tells him to quit messing with her. Juan tells her that he can prove it to her. He leans in and gives Emily a sweet kiss. (at least I think it was sweet. Thanks to the GH lighting crew for once again making a night scene to dark to actually see, I had to kind of use my imagination.)

Juan pulls away and asks Emily what he told her. Emily says, a little dreamily, that she doesn't remember. Juan reminds her that he told her that she was his girlfriend. Emily says that she didn't sign anything. Juan's beeper sounds, interrupting the moment. Emily is surprised that he rushes off so quickly, but says that she will miss him at his prompting. He leaves her with another quick kiss and runs off to answer the page.

Ned, Alexis, Jax and Chloe are surprised that V is going to be gone for a year. Alexis and Chloe think it is romantic, but Ned and Jax think she is nuts. They try to persuade her to stay, but she is determined. Simon thinks that not working and seeing the world will be good for her. She tells a disbelieving group that Simon has agreed to work for a year when they return. Ned and Jax are dumbfounded when Simon says that he is going to be a lifeguard. V asks if they just can't be happy for her. Ned and Jax reluctantly agree.

Mac is furious with Luke for putting Felicia in danger. He can't believe that he actually encouraged Felicia to help Luke with his grief over Lucky. Luke turned her into a grave robber. Then he almost satisfied his own death wish. Mac angrily tells Luke that he doesn't get to play with Felicia anymore. She is off limits to him. Felicia walks up and asks if everything is ok. Mac says that he was just debriefing Luke. Luke concurs and then walks away. Mac and Felicia follow him out of the crypt.

Simon, V, Alexis, Jax, Ned and Chloe are all eating dinner together. They reminisce together about old times with V while they share a celebratory bottle of champagne. V and Jax steal a moment alone. V confesses that she was always a little bit in love with Jax. They would have driven each other crazy. V said that she needed someone to see the real her and Jax did that. He was the oversized gorgeous jock of a big brother that she never had. If he told her something, it had to be true. Jax asks who he is going to call when he needs someone to hear him think out loud or when he needs someone to tell him the truth. V tells him that he can always call her on her cell phone. Jax tells her that he is going to miss her. He also tells her to be happy. He offers her a goodbye hug. The rest of the group rejoins them and there are hugs all around. V can't stop crying as she says her final goodbyes to everyone. (This is Lisa Cerasoli's last show so it really is goodbye! I know I'm sad. I'll miss V.) Once Simon and V are gone, Chloe offers reassurances to Jax that Simon will treat V right.

Safely home, Felicia apologizes to Mac again. She also tells him that he can't blame Luke because she went along with everything. She is the first to admit that she didn't think about the consequences of her actions. Mac says that he is ok with her being her own woman, but he is not ok with Luke risking her life. He asks if she has had enough of this whole thing. Felicia promises to not do anything to endanger herself. Mac takes that as a no to his question about Felicia being ready to give up Lila's memoirs. He says that he has something that may help and hands her an envelope full of Elliot's letters.

Juan arrives at Mr. Sorrel's. Mr. Sorrel is furious. He thinks that Juan is working for Sonny. He tells Juan that he should have been more careful. He takes his pager away.

AJ finds Carly alone in the garden. She starts talking about roses, and then asks if he is working late again tonight. AJ says that he was trying to give her a little space. Carly thanks him, but says that she is fine. AJ thought she seemed upset after Jason's news. Carly explains that she wasn't sure Jason was sincere first, but now she is. She is glad that they are free to be a family again. As she and AJ hug, Jason is alone staring off into space.

Luke is on the docks skipping rocks in the water, when Felicia finds him. Luke is happy, but surprised to see her. She gleefully tells him that Mac came through on a little research for her. She thinks that she might be able to identify the other body in the Quartemaine crypt.
