December 30th 2011 - New Years Eve in Port Charles
We all knew that when Carly decided to have a New Years Eve bash at the Metro Court, with pretty much all of Port Charles attending,there would be some drama involved, that's why we love Carly!
The episode however, starts off with Spinelli and Maxie.
Maxie & Spinelli:
Not what you're all thinking, but close! He has a New Years Eve date with a mystery woman and needs Maxie's help to find the perfect outfit. Maxie is visibly bothered by the news and begins her mile a minute questioning and criticizing, she is clearly jealous and intrigued, and in true Maxie fashion fixes Spinelli's tie dangerously close to his face. Spinelli doesn't fall for it. Good job! He strolls off into the elevator and leaves us wondering what in the hell he is up to. The scene ends with Maxie calling Matt to tell him she needs to take care of something and will be late for their date, once again neglecting him and putting him last. Hmmm....I wonder what she's planning. Later she confronts him at Kelly's demanding to know who this woman is. He speechlessly stares out the window and we see he is staring at “the woman in white”.
Dante & Michael:
At Kelly's, the handsome Dante speaks with a grieving Michael about Abbey's death. Dante becomes worried when Michael insinuates that he wants revenge. Michael then notices Dante's wedding band and learns of his and Lulu's intimate wedding on Christmas eve. He congratulates Dante and toasts to a successful marriage. The toast and the scene end with a bittersweet “'till death do you part”.
Patrick & Robin
At the Drake household, Patrick decides he is going to take Emma for ice cream...since, you know, every parent promises their child ice cream in the middle of winter. Robin stays behind and orders a car service for one person. Is this it? we all wonder. In a later scene Patrick returns with Emma, Robin is still there and has a moment with the super cute Emma, imparting wisdom and love almost as if she would never see her again.
Tracy & Anthony:
At the Metro Court, an always elegant Tracy approaches Carly who looks beautiful albeit her micro mini dress. Carly assures Tracy that she has not heard from her “no good uncle” Luke but that there is a table reserved under her name. Tracy finds this odd and heads towards the table, only to find the mischievous Anthony Zacchara waiting there for her, she then realizes it was him who sent her the note and the flawless diamond. She storms off on her way out of the Metro Court and Anthony follows her into the elevator. He tries as usual to convince her that they would make a good couple when obviously, the elevator stops, deliciously cliche. Tracy begins yelling for help but to no avail. This scene ends with Anthony proposing to Tracy. One knee, diamond ring, the whole show...what is his angle!?
Jacks:
We see two scenes of Jacks alive and well at the airport, one in which he is looking at a picture of Josslyn and says “Daddy's coming home, sweetheart”
Jason & Sam
Sam has a flashback of her ordeal with Franco and calls Jason. Jason tells her Franco is gone but offers no details. She then begs him to come home so they could spend New Years Eve together. In a later scene he sensitively looks up with those baby blues of his and tells her “I'm on my way home”. While she waits for her man, Sam realizes while looking at a calender that she is late...oh boy.
Party @ the Metro Court:
At the Metro Court, its see and be seen! Everything is beautifully decorated to the last detail and everyone is dressed to the nines. Sonny and Kate show up to the shindig together and are greeted by Lulu and Olivia. Lulu's silver sequent strapless looked cute on her, while Olivia donned the tightest blue tarzan strap I have ever seen. Kate decided on an ordinary fuchsia cocktail dress, a little boring in my opinion, not what I would expect from an international fashionista. Sonny looks dashing too, as he welcomes Lulu to the family and begins to extend his help should they ever need any when Lulu abruptly cuts him off and tells him her and Dante are fine. I must admit, even with all the rotten things Sonny has done, I think we all have a soft spot for him and we know how much he loves his children so this scene was a little bit sad.
Later on, Kate and Olivia joke around by saying that since Lulu and Dante are married, they are all quasi related. Sarcastically, Carly jokes “I can't wait for that BBQ”. This made me chuckle because I could totally picture how dysfunctional it would be...a BBQ full of Sonny's ex-lovers and offspring.
Some questionable 80's sounding rap plays in the background as Michael makes his entrance. Carly is overjoyed as she didn't want him spending New Years Eve alone and wallowing in grief. He then proposes a toast to Carly in front of all, remarking that he doesn't know by which last name to call her anymore. All smiles are wiped from everyone's face. So it begins...At first I wasn't sure if he was drunk or just grief stricken and pissed off, he wasn't drunk. He calls her out elaborately and articulately about knowing that Jacks is still alive. Sonny and Dante both try to stop him but he reuses to stop. Carly insists Jacks hasn't contacted her but fesses up that 2 weeks after the plane crash, their yacht “The Silent Lady” went missing and that there was activity in his foreign bank accounts. Everyone is in disbelief, especially Sonny who was blamed for his death and Alexis who is close with Jacks. As usual, Carly can never admit she is wrong or take blame for any of her lies and blames Sonny for not telling anybody since he would “finish the job”. Yelling and arguing ensues and ends with Kate yelling in Carly's face “Why don't you apologize to him you lying bitch!”....that was nice to see since Carly's actions seemingly never have any consequences. Carly is once again the villain for now.
Tragedy:
After storming out of the Metro Court following the emotional argument with his mother, we see Michael attempting to cross the road. The scene ends after we hear tires screeching and headlights on Michael. At a later scene, the episode ends with Michael on the ground and another person on the ground not too far away, we also see a wrecked motorcycle and that the second person is Jason. Both are not moving.
Mentions:
The back and forth between Ethan and the woman in white continues and quite frankly, I'm a little bored of it. I know some are saying she may be Laura's daughter but I feel it is dragging.
Stay tuned for New Years Eve continued, and the new year in Port Charles!
