The Prince is Giving a Ball! Sweeps Review 11/5-11/9

When we last left the citizens of Port Charles, danger was lurking around every corner. Let's see if things got any better. Don't hold your breath.

We start with Jason "Cool Rider" Morgan braving the storm to rescue his loved ones. Funny how none of the boats, excuse me, launches, can go out in the storm, but Jason and his God-forsaken jet ski make it through, even when it looks like the damn thing explodes. That wonders of Jason Morgan and his hair never cease to amaze me.

Back at Wyndermere, Nik is still whining that nothing at the ball is going as planned. Then he goes and knocks out Lucky after another blackout. And he wonders why no one wants him walking around by himself?

Meanwhile Emily tells the story of the original ball YET AGAIN. But of course she tells her very special edited version where Nikolas isn't in love with Robin. I like the original version better, thank you.

Liz, obviously still reeling over seeing a dead body, plucks that ice pick right out of that man's chest to use as a weapon while wondering the hallways. Ever resourseful, she is. And lemme tell you something, Liz wondering the hallways with that wide-eyed, scared look, carrying that bloody ice pick had cheesy horror B-movie written all over it. And did anyone else notice that Liz was leaving her fingerprints all over a murder weapon?

But luckily for Liz, she wasn't alone for long....because guess who come to her rescue? Zander Smith! Wait, no wrong baby's father....Jason Morgan! Of course, duh. But Jason doesn't just quietly whisper Liz's name. He comes up behind her and scares the crap out of her. Why, I don't know. But boy is Liz relieved to see her hero, Jason. He takes her to the stables for safety and then see she's got a bruise. She tells him Sam did it and she's crazy. Jason said he'll take care of Sam later. Oh, please. It's not Sam's fault that Liz bruised and she didn't. She just hits harder, that's all! Once at the barn Jason teaches a reluctant Liz how to shoot a gun. And I swear, he's getting off on the fact that she's doing it. It's like he popped her gun-shooting cherry, or something.

We see Alexis slapping Trevor and calling him a selfish bastard for not helping Ric aka Richard. But I'm sure that Ric is fine, as he is alone in a room with Alexis, Skye, and Leyla.

You would think with all this ish going on that Sonny would be front and center, being that one of the madmen is there because of him. But no, he and Kate are totally oblivious as they are still having "The TALK." But talking isn't the only thing they are doing, because Trevor walks in on them having sex. Shocking.

Oh yeah, Robin and Patrick have their standard 2 minutes of relationship (or lack thereof) talk.

Sam, Jax and Jerry decide to go and fix a boat so they can take people to the mainland. But they don't realize that only Jason and his jetski can make it in a storm because that makes perfect sense. Anyway, while the 3 are arguing, Carly sneaks out, determined to find that damn text-message killer.

While Carly is running around aimlessly, she trips on Coop, who's in bad shape. But Carly is on a mission, so Coop be damned!

Just then, shots are fired! Uh-oh, people are shooting at the boat. To keep her safe Jax jumps on Sam, and if you remember their history, this isn't the first time. Don't worry, everyone comes out unscathed.

My new favorite newbie Nadine learns the hard way never to become involved in one of Lulu's half-baked schemes. Anthony grabs her thinking she's Lulu. While he's kinda annoyed that she's not LuLu....he's really annoyed that she's not into gardening. But not to worry, Spinelli comes to Nadine's aid, and the 2 run around the halls and scream when they see Anthony again. More proof that this is a B-rated horror movie.

Ric is in bad shape and he needs a blood transfusion, stat! But of course finding A negative or O blood types won't be easy, because it's a soap opera we're talking about.

Sam, Jax, and Jerry have a different way of saving Ric. They will use their newly-fixed boat to bring him to the mainland! But the three of them fight to see who is the most qualified to steer a boat in such dire conditions. But before a brutal game of rock-paper-scissors insues, Jax is declared the winner.

Oh, and Lulu is all running around like a moron like usual. Everthing is "Logan, blah, blah, blah, Johnny, blah, blah, blah." Meanwhile, Scott, Luke, and Logan realize they have to work together to get through the night.

But Maxie has more than one great jab at LuLu....as she is seeing the situation as it really is. Lulu being stupid.

Nik and Em are still talking about the ball gone wrong. I mean really, Nik, enough whining about it. Seriously, the guy is flippin' a cheeseburger because there's a killer (or 2) on the loose, like it's his fault it happened and HE has to go fix it because it's HIS house, and blackouts be damned. Nik, this isn't like you ordered patte and got caviar. Just be quiet and do what you're told!

Spinelli nearly pees his pants in delight when he and Nadine run into Jason. Nadine is baffled as to why Jason would want to send her and Spinelli to the barn and look for the killer on his own. And Jason is just as confused that a pretty female isn't asking to have his babies. To say the least, Nadine is none to impressed by St. Jasus Morgan, patron saint of the leather jacket.


Carly is still galavanting outside when she trips and bumps her head. When she wakes up, the sight ain't too pretty. It's Anthony Zachara! He starts talking about roses and women and ask's Carly if she loves her kids more than her husband. Carly's slick and says that the love is different and she will love her husband forever. Good enough for Anthony and he lets her go. What gets me is that he doesn't seem to know who Carly is. Doesn't every mob boss on the East Coast know who Carly is?

Ric is still out of it and shares a sweet scene with Alexis, telling her he wish he could do everything over. But he doesn't say he regrets sleeping with Sam. Hmmm.... Anyway, I got sad that TPTB ruined this couple, but Skye/Ric have loads of potential. I won't hold my breath, though.

Sonny grabs Johnny and puts a gun to his head to try and lure out Anthony. It doesn't work, because he's not in the building. Sonny would know that if he wasn't so busy having sex. Anyway, not being able to resist a pretty woman, or in this case two, Sonny let's go of Johnny after Kate and LuLu beg him. You know Sonny, he's a sucker for women begging. Johnny isn't too grateful, he tells Sonny that he's a fruitloop just like Anthony.

In the barn, Nadine and Liz are consoling Spinelli because he thinks that Jason thinks he's a wimp. Does it matter what Jason thinks? He obviously thinks that his hair looks good, does anyone else? But their are bigger fish to fry. There's a dead guy outside! And what are his famous last words? Zachara. Da-duh-dun!

Nikolas still wants to go a-hunting for the killer. He has a gun and is all ready. Emily is all hell no, but agrees when she realizes that they need her to help operate on Ric.

And how are they going to operate, you might ask? Not to worry, Patrick has the fishing line all ready, and Em is off to find the portable defibulator. Yeah, I know. Who the hell keeps a portable defibulator lying around their house? Apparently Nikolas.

Luke and Jerry are arguing over whether or not sailing a boat in a storm is a good idea. But Luke is alarmed when he hears a familar scream. "Spanky!" he exclaims. It is, and she took a tumble down the stairs when Alfred accidently scared her.

Carly storms (no pun intended) into the ballroom in a rage about Anthony. But then she realizes that Jax is gone. And when she finds out that he's off to sail Ric to safety she is mortified. But she's not done. She lashes out on Kate when she doesn't know where Sonny is, Carly is certain that she can find him. You, know because Carly is the ultimate mob moll, and all.


Logan is all pissy AGAIN, because Maxie is just speaking the truth about LuLu. But when Maxie disappears, he's all quick to say that she's doing it for attention. Um, no that's your girlfriend that does this for attention, not Maxie. He goes on and on until Georgie all but attacks his ass and Coops tells him he's a coward, just like he was in Iraq. Are we ever gonna find out what the hell went down with Logan in Iraq? Because I care less and less everytime they hint at it.

Turns out Anthony has Maxie, of course. He gives her his betrayal speech, and tells her he wants to play a game of Russian roulette, but in order to do so he must find a gaming room. Maxie points him in the wrong direction, and smacks him over the head when he turns his back. She hightails it outta there, and runs into Lucky on the way out. They hug in relief.

You know Lulu would be so jealous that Maxie hit Anthony before she did. But what she's not understanding is that she's not the only target, everyone is. Johnny should save his breath.

Patrick tells Sam and Jerry that Ric is too weak to leave the island. But don't worry, there hard work will not go to waste! Alexis and her side pains will go with Jax to the mainland. All is well! And did anyone else notice that Jax and Emily are all kinds of pretty when they were standing next to each other? They would have been a gorgeous couple, for sure.

Sam is having no lucky in finding Lucky....lol.

Nadine tells Liz about her sister, Jolene (as played by my pretend best friend Amanda Baker). Liz tells Nadine that sometimes people do things they never think they would do. I wonder what she's talking about....hmmmm....

Jason shows up at that very moment with two new people to stay in the barn, Johnny and Lulu. Liz can't control herself and jumps on Jason when she sees him. Later, Liz tells Nadine that Jason is not "her guy" and she should forget what she saw. Two things: 1) Her guy? What is this, a '50's sock hop? 2) If Nadine doesn't forget what she saw, is Liz gonna order a hit on her? Because she was kinda intent that Nadine doesn't say anything.

Spinelli is put in charge of babysitting Lulu. Lulu is all huffy because she thinks her "abilities" are being wasted just sitting in the barn and she wants to go help Johnny and Jason. In an attempt to stop her, Spinelli hits her over the head and knocks her out. Then Spinelli gets my gold star for the week. Congratulations, Mr. Jackyl!!

Back at the house, Trevor is begging Sonny to donate his blood to Ric. Sonny isn't saying much, but I think he's enjoying the fact that 3 people have begged him in the past couple of days. Kate thinks Sonny should donate his blood, something Carly finds deplorable. Kate wins, and Carlys gets all huffy that she doesn't get her way. Kate tells Sonny not to chase after her, and he obeys.

But what Carly wanders into isn't very good. A bunch of those rascaly gunmen are aimed to fire! Sam happens upon the scene, and Jason is soon to follow. Sharing a knowing glance, they open fire one the gunmen and save the day...and Carly. Carly is, as always, eternally grateful to Jason, but tells Sam that she only helped so Jason would take her back. St. Jason is all "Sam knows why I would never forgive her." And Sam is all like "Well I wouldn't come back if you came crawling!" But we all know that EVENTUALLY they will get back together. But maybe my Sam/Jason loving heart is just hoping for too much. Carly tells Jason that Sam is out to get them She doesn't even know the half of it!!

Lulu comes to (which is unfortunate, I was hoping for at least a few days of her out cold). She tells Spinelli that he is the best friend she has ever had. Okay, now this Lulu I like. But when Nadine accidently spills the beans that Spinelli hit her, she's back to whiny. Sigh. Nadine puts Lulu in her place and tells her that if Spinelli didn't hit her, she would! Did I mention that I love Nadine?

Nik fights with Logan, and later blacks out on Em for the 2,345th time. Anthony finds them and attacks Nik, while Em does nothing but scream. The gun is lying on the floor, right where Em could grab it, but she just screams her heart out. Luckily, Johnny saves the day. He's so hot. Sorry, I just had to add that one in.

Nik is tired of all his blackouts and asks Em to lock him in the closet. Emily is not too crazy about this idea, and I don't blame her. Being alone in a closet, locked or not, is all kinds of creepy in killers on the loose.

Luke and Tracy get all mushy and the writers use this opportunity to spit in our faces that they aren't asking Genie Francis back. Thanks, writers, thanks alot. Later, leaves to find Anthony, and find him he does. The 2 fight over who is more crazy, almost like kindred spirits. But then Luke has a heart attack, and the noises he makes crack me up.

Ric is ten shades of stunned that Trevor is visiting him, while Sonny unconcious from giving blood. Kate tries to make him come to, but Carly is the one that snaps him out of it. Maybe Sonny was afraid that at any minute Carly would start shrieking in his ear.

Sam and Lucky go to the stables for protection, where they stumble upon Liz. Sam is trying to get Liz to tell Lucky the truth to no avail. But, as always, Jason comes to the rescue, and stops Sam from talking. Ahhh, Cliffhanger Friday, now we gotta wait EVEN LONGER for the truth to come out!

Stay tuned for the next review of 11/12-11/16. Will Nik start singing R. Kelly's "Trapped in a Closet?" Will somebody knock out Lulu, again....please? We'll soon find out!
