General Hospital - April 11, 2018 Episode Reflections

I laughed when Kevin said, "You're a good person now." I find that hard to believe with Franco given his past and recent history. I also rolled my eyes when Franco said, "What if what Harvey did to me took a toll on me, a lasting toll? What if because of what he did I'm a danger to Elizabeth's boys?" And here comes the blame redemption game that we were expecting.

Oh Kevin in asking, "Have you ever once looked at Elizabeth's son with anything that felt inappropriate?" Then he also goes, "Did you suddenly feel that you would morph into a predator?" Are we forgetting about Franco kidnapping one of her kids or his interactions with Jocelyn?

Kevin continued to push my buttons when he said, "The acts that you did in relation to the tumor are in no way related to what happened to you as a child." But what about the actions following the tumor? And still, regardless of excuse, I don't ignore Franco's actions.

The best laughter came when Kevin said, "Your behavior during that dark period is medically explained due to the fact that there was a mass on your brain. Since then, you've been a model citizen." But he has locked people in a dog cage, gone after others, continue to surround Sam without respecting space.
I rolled my eyes when Liz said, "No doubts. no fears, no hesitation." Even though Franco at one time kidnapped your kid, but okay - that's fine.

Like I've said for weeks, it's not happening - there's no forgiveness for Franco? Why? Feel free to read my nicely sub-article written as part of the reflections on April 6 titled My Daily Annoyance - The Franco Tormented Past Storyline. You can also see the lovely screen cap tweets from @lovejoneslove66 that I showcased for April 10 Reflections of Franco's past.

I also know I'm safe in saying that Jason and Sam won't ever forgive Franco, either. The only reason Franco lived post-earthquake was Sam didn't want Jason walking around with a secret on his shoulders, and Jason did it for her. That said, given their pain, what they missed of their lives during that time, the turmoil they went through at his hands, the psychological horrors, sexual assault - I don't blame them one bit and why none of this will change my attitude about Franco.

Actually, if you think about it, it was rude of Elizabeth to say to Jason, "Get over it" but I went over that before when I told you how Liason is just dead. Let's not harp on that anger, shall we?




I know everybody wants to harp on Sam's pain, but let's not forget Jason here, either. He believed that he was responsible for Sam being raped due to not being able to stop it and be there for her, and having to watch him carry her naked wrapped up in a curtain. There's also the Michael angle, too.

Speaking of Jason, I love when Anna thought Jason was going to stop looking for the mother, and he said, "Oh I'm going to keep looking, and that makes you uncomfortable." It's only a matter of time.

Love how Jason also isn't willing to pause the search for "one week" or anytime at all for Anna because like I said previously, Jason needs to sort this all out now so when Sam comes back, we can focus on them. I will say that when he said, "Five years that I'm never going to get back. I know it won' change anything but I want answers," it was a slight tear in there somewhere. There's more pain that Jason is letting on about the five years.

I smiled when Anna said, "You're going to find him because you're the best there is. But all I ask is that I am with you."  It's awesome watching a government super spy admit that Jason is even better than their resources. Yes, I know my man is awesome. By the way, she's also right in saying, "I know you're not a mindless killing machine. You have a conscious."

Jason's plead once again with Anna almost makes me feel like he either knows something, or is feeling that there's something there. It was perfect in how he worded it in saying, "I respect you. But respect me enough to tell me what's going on." Really, he's going to figure it out anyway - she even said that he would find him because he's the best just minutes prior. Besides, he may give Heinrech a little more benefit if he knows the mother factor.

Cue the biggest smile when Jason said, "When I find Heinrech, if it looks like he is picking up where Faison left off, I will not hesitate to shut him down." I can't wait because the secrets lead me to believe this will happen.

I agree with Jason's fears of bringing Emma along. It's great cover for what their doing, but do you really want a kid caught in the middle? Could this be Anna's way in trying to stop Jason from ridding of Heinrech?

--------------

Peter's true colors are showing more and more, including his comment about Lulu in saying, "It's her attempt to patch up her relationship with Maxie, and I say it's a waste of time." I see otherwise because if Maxie figures out Peter is Heinrech and hidden this long, she may thank Lulu for not giving up and revealing it.

That said, it didn't surprise me when Peter said, "She gets too close, I throw her off..." Didn't I already predict that last week? April 3 Reflections - I laughed when Peter said to Lulu, "I promise I will do whatever I can for you." Really, this is a perfect way for him to watch and make sure that he isn't exposed. But while Lulu may be annoying at times, you can't underestimate a Spencer.

At least Valentine recognizes the fact that "Lulu is the least of your problems." It's like Peter doesn't in how he continues to carry himself. Valentine was right in throwing the book back in his face because let's see - how much has Jason used that as a clue recently?

Like Valentine said, "There's always a chance for your secret to be discovered - especially with those two. That's what their trained to do." Well, one is professionally trained. The other is just smart beyond anything and can always get the job done.

Remember how I also can't really fall into like Peter? Well, he showed another character flaw in being selfish by saying, "I'm the only one who stands to get burned." Valentine really got uptight then which makes me ask even more now - what the heck does Valentine have to do with the secret - seriously?

Oh so nice that you "like my life the way it is," Valentine. But you may be a little wrong in saying, "If my wife finds out that I've been protecting, mentoring Faison's other son, I would lose  her forever...." She forgave you for shooting Nicholas, after all.

That said, Valentine continued to keep my respect as he spoke the truth in saying, "You're risking your life because Jason is going to find you." The line of the day also came when he added, "That's why you let him live. Because he's relentless, unstoppable. Because he was the perfect candidate to kill your father, and he did. You need to get out of town because it will be a miracle if he doesn't find you."

While Valentine earns respect, Peter falls down the ladder showing more true colors by saying, "If I was a good honorable person, I'd wish that I could trade places with him - but I don't." It's also noble for him to "want to help his widow and his child," but like Valentine said, the best way to help is to "get out of Port Charles as soon as possible." Peter's only going to cause Maxie more pain in the end.

"You said you enjoyed your life - while I like mine too, and I'm not willing to give it up." "This is worse than I thought. You have fallen for Maxie." I feel bad for Maxie for when the truth does eventually come out.

"Maybe I'm ready to get to know them." "Even if they don't know who you are?" "It's better than nothing." [....] "Let's hope it doesn't blow up in our faces." I'm planning on it blowing up.

-------------

Nina is right in saying, "You don't know anything about him. That's the problem - nobody knows anything." It literally made me laugh when Maxie tried to reply with, "I know about Peter." Right - but you don't know the number one secret that he has.

I was about to shout oh no and all that when Nina went to call Curtis, but then smiled when she said, "Wait? You found dirt on Peter August?" I'm glad Curtis found something because Nina needs to keep this going without a doubt.
