Tracy Visits Michael, But Not About ELQ

Tracy visits Michael at his place for an update on the search for Lulu. Michael says that he and his father are out of the loop and know nothing.  Perhaps Luke has some information.  "He isn't looking for her," Tracy says. She's concerned, and she knows that Luke will be as well.  Michael takes a little pity on her and assures her that he will call if he hears anything.

 

Sam and Patrick- Sam Exercises Willpower

At Sam's, Patrick and Sam laugh about their fortune cookies, and since their fortunes say to try something new, Patrick kisses her. Then they are prone on the couch, and he's on top of her.  Just as he's removing her clothes, she sits up.  Did he misinterpret what she wanted?  No, she says, she's attracted to him.  She's just not sure she's ready. Plus, Jason's birthday is the next day and their anniversary is coming up. It's a good idea to leave the personal stuff alone right now.  Patrick is glad that she was the "voice of reason" and asks if they're okay.  They are. 

Crichton-Clark: The Body Count Rises

To state that there is a lot happening at Crichton-Clark would be a gross understatement.  In this corner, Maxie and Nathan are making out in the presence of the dead Harrell family.  Then Nathan gives Maxie a lesson on shooting a gun. Before they leave, Maxie gets her hands on the Aztec dagger.

In this corner, Lulu is screaming her guts out as the nurse and Stavros try to get her on the gurney to implant the embryo.

  Dante shows up, gun pointed, but Stavros puts a scalpel to Lulu's throat.  He reminds Dante that the Cassadines are expert throat-slitters.  Right, they probably practiced it on stuffed animals and dolls. 

Dante has no choice.  He slides his gun over toward Stavros. Lulu thrusts her elbow into her captor's stomach and Dante makes his move.  Lulu and the nurse get into a wild fight. The WSB force is outside, attempting to get into the locked room, accessible by a card. "Lulu, run!" her husband yells. Lulu opens the door with the nurse's badge but it closes again quickly. "You have been a thorn in my side for far too long," Stavros declares, ready to shoot Dante.  Lulu stands in direct line with the gun and orders him to shoot her first.

Victor's Office: Got Herself a Gun

In Victor’s office, Obrecht aims a gun at Anna, keeping her from arresting Victor.  Anna urges her to think about her son. "Why do you think I'm doing this?" she asks, moves the gun to another angle, and shoots Victor! 

The police arrive and inform Anna that Dante is locked in a room with his wife and the King of Crazy.   Anna and the police leave. Liesl kneels beside Victor. Now that he knows that Nathan isn't his son, Obrecht can't afford for him to talk. Then she realizes that he's still alive. And I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you can't kill these people. They just go into the freezer and defrost later, alive.

Always one for the flowery speech, Victor tells her that he hoped their relationship would end with a kiss. "We are the only two who know that Nathan is not your son," she says. "The truth is far, far worse."  What a compliment -- you're bad enough but that other one - yikes! 

The Man in Black Escapes

Jason, with his face always hidden from us, knocks out the Cassadine associate, grabs his file, takes the man's access badge and runs out.  He sees Maxie and Nathan and hides. He ducks into a room and there's yet another person chained to a wall - Robin!  She's thrilled to see him. She's aware that he can't talk yet and that he is running a fever. Without telling her his plan, he breaks the chain with his gun and she nearly has a coronary. 

Maxie and Nathan enter the clinic and see more bodies. This time it's Jason's doing. When the head man regains consciousness, he says that an "important patient" punched him. 

Back to the Implant Room

Anna stands outside of the room where Stavros is holding Dante and Lulu, She asks the men to see if there is an alternate entrance. Stavros, meanwhile, informs Lulu that he can raise their child with her or without her. Dante and Stavros fight over the gun. It goes off and Stavros is killed.  Oh, who are we kidding?  What is this, the third time? Guess he'll be a Popsicle again.

Anna and backup enter. She announces that Victor is dead. They've managed to take out two Cassadines, so things are looking up.  But Victor hasn't croaked yet and asks Obrecht the identity of Nathan's father. At that point, she's had it with him and takes a decorative pillow to put over his face. 

Victor reaches into his suit jacket and immediately, sirens sound and lights flash. In order to protect their proprietary information being leaked, the clinic will be blowing up soon.  He doesn't tell her how much time there is left. Obrecht's no fool, so she runs out of the office.

Anna continues searching the building. She reaches the door to the room where Robin and Jason are at the moment. Nathan and Maxie are told they have to get out because of the alarm.
