General Hospital – January 26, 2018 Episode Reflections

Yay for Lucas being back and yay for him and Brad adopting a son! It’s so great to see him back.

“I think Anna is too close to this whole thing.” Ya think?

“I’m just not in the habit of leaving people hostage to homicidal maniacs.” I don’t think anybody is.

“There’s other people that need protection from Faison, and I’m the best person for that.” I don’t know about that, as lately her thoughts have been very conflicted and questionable. I mean, look at the dialogue yesterday.

“Jason isn’t just some street thug. He has the best tech support on the planet, and he will find you, and he will show up, and he will kill you – which would be fine with me, and Nathan, too.” We know her admiration for the tech genius, as evident by her relationship with Spinelli. But beyond that, she makes a good point. He always finds his target one way or another.

The whole time during Lulu’s scene with Faison, I found my eyes locked on Peter instead, trying to read him, gather a clue to the theory that he is Faison’s son. “How can I run away from a sweet lady like you that is going to be make me a grandfath-” “You’ll never be anything to that child!” Why thank you Peter for the perfect clue. Of course you don’t want Faison having a connection to Nathan, Maxie, or the baby because you know exactly what that is like and don’t want to make someone else suffer.

Reflection 101. He should’ve been aware of that monitor. I guess he’s not the son – or maybe he is the son. Either way, nice job Faison on killing someone else.

Just like that, Nathan was shot. You’d think if we’re in the process of saying goodbye to his character there would be a deeper respect given.

“I’m on my way.” Of course Jason would be on his way immediately.

“I’ll wait here for the son.” Sorry, but he may not be coming given the circumstances at the Metro Court.

“That’s the third floor.” “What are you doing?” “Someone may need help.” If you truly wanted him to leave Carly, you should’ve just found another way to do so and kept your mouth shut. Now you’ve got Lucas in the midst of this, too.

Oh, so he actually didn’t shoot Peter. Peter missed getting hit with his dive. You think he would’ve moved faster than he did, though. I mean, we could’ve saved Nathan. Maybe we’ll have the son meeting after all.

I guess it’s a good thing that Lucas did go upstairs after all, too.

“The more you run from your problems, the more you follow them wherever you go, and they just get bigger.” That could explain her relationship with Julian in a nutshell. But yet, it still appears that she hasn’t been able to face that problem, either.

“That’s the thing. I don’t want to step back. I want to go all in.” Then tell Anna you love her and be done with it!

“You let her go.” “Why the hell would you do that? You’ll never make this shot.” Well, that’s to be questioned. I mean, has Jason ever missed his mark before? And it takes you back to earlier this week – “When you take the shot…” “….I won’t miss.” He didn’t miss! Once again, Jason saves Carly.

“I saw a glimpse of my future, a future that didn’t have her in it, and I didn’t like what I saw.” Tell her! Tell her! Tell her!

“Nice shot.” “You told me not to miss.” Precisely.

The glance from Peter to Faison, then from Peter to Jason. It’s like sympathy was at the relm here, sympathizing that they had both gone through at the hands of Faison and sympathizing the mixed emotions of the events that had simply taken place. Yes, Faison was an evil man, but he was Peter’s father and that bond is something that you can’t just take away. That glance could easily make the meeting all the more interesting.

Also, notice how he was getting out of there as quickly as possible, gloves and coat on? He was headed to where he was supposed to be having that so-called meeting more than likely.

Let me guess – Faison is going to live so we can see him again in a couple months when everyone gets bored.

Anna thinking back to a sexual moment with Faison makes me believe that she is the mother of Heinrect/Peter.

”Were you trying to kill Faison?” “If I was, I would’ve taken a head shot. This way, he’s alive and can at least talk for now.” I wouldn’t had given Faison a chance given his history, but I understand the desire to want answers. I mean, like I’ve said before, I’d want to know why I lost five years of my life, too.

“What if he dies before you can ask him your questions?” “Then I’ll have to live with that.” “Are you okay with that?” “Sonny and I were working with Anna on this, and I got to tell you, every time she said his name, you could see something in her eyes, and it was something worse than fear, and Anna is not the only one that has reeked havoc, destroyed lives, and it has to stop.” Thank you!

It’s nice how Peter now so casually shows up at the meeting spot…

PREVIEWS

“If Faison dies before he tells me, there’s someone else who knows…” Like the son, Peter/Henreict? Or even Dr. Klein for that matter.

General Hospital – January 25, 2018 Episode Reflections

“Drop your gun or I will make your lover bleed to death.” Welp, that is a good reason to not shoot actually. See, you had to know Anna wouldn’t shoot him.

“Here I am a couple weeks before our wedding, and a failure to Elizabeth.” Least he admits it, even if not in the way that I’d prefer.

“You know what we need baby? We need your daddy, PCPD, and the WSIB, and all those alphabet agencies to find your psycho grandfather.” Oh Maxie’s elegant ways.

“You’ll do anything to make him live, won’t you?” That’s the definition of true love, whether Anna or Finn will admit it.

“The pathology of a psychopath – the correlation between a murderer and the mind.” “Do you mind telling me more about that?” Look at who you’re marrying, Elizabeth. You don’t need an explanation because clearly you get to see evidence of it everyday. Almost makes you wonder as to her curiosity, and possible doubts about Franco.  

It’s almost giggly to see Franco’s guest list so short and him realizing just what he’s done 

“This is me the day after I call my boyfriend, and his new girlfriend answers the phone.” Goodbye Dillon. It was nice knowing you all this time. Too bad Killon couldn’t had worked out.

“Bottom line is I chose getting into med school, and he chose someone else.” “Then he’s a fool, because he doesn’t deserve you.” Thank you Griffin. Your partner should not only love you, but he should also be able to support your dreams and desires, even with a bit of sacrifice on the way.

Didn’t expect Peter to hand over his tips to the police about the whereabouts of Faison, especially if he’s the son and searching for him on his own reasons. However, it also works as a good cover for anything that he does down the road in following the trail that a usual media mogul head would do. Besides, for all we know, it could be filled with fake tips.

“I’ve turned my life around, and so have you.” “Have you ever looked over your shoulder worried that it’ll come back to haunt you?” Like they say, you can never outrun your past as it will always be with you. By the way, neither of them have earned redemption.

“It sounds really fascinating, and I have the perfect subject – Franco.” I thought we were done with his past ways. I thought there was no reason correlation anymore. If there’s no correlation anymore, how can we do a study?  

“I find people often write down what they can’t express out loud. It’s almost therapeutic.” Just like you wrote the manuscript, Peter?

“You’d be surprised how many people want you to just leave Faison alone….” Peter wants Nathan out of the way so he can fulfill his deeds.

The control that Faison seems to have over Anna is just beyond what you can fathom. Like Sonny said, she’s on the blink of cracking and here we have the perfect source. I always said that Franco’s era when he was really freaky was my best villain time for General Hospital, but Faison may be good enough to solely take that position.

“You put your passion for medicine first, and Dillon couldn’t hack it.” Thank you Griffin.

“Just keep thinking about how I am going to be responsible for a little life, and be a father.” Well, you may get off the hook actually – for other sad reasons.  

I almost teared up watching Nathan ask Dante to be the baby’s godfather.

Of course Dante would be sent to investigate Faison at Anna’s house. Who wants to bet Nathan joins him there? It’s like the writing is on the wall without saying it.

“Where does it end? Robin, my grandchild. I’m so tired of protecting my family. I’m sick…” You never should show the act of falling for the fear, failing your nature, in front of the one person who is the driving force for what is happening.

“You are an evil, old man who will never get what he wants from me. so I don’t want to hear about your unacquired love. I’m sick of it.” Now that’s more like the Anna we would expect.

 “Some people believe that the tumor wasn’t responsible.” “By people, you mean Jason, and by doubt, you mean never ever believe it ever.” Exactly, and who can blame him? I wouldn’t want to let that go either, considering the time span that he tormented him and what exactly all he did. You saw how that messed with Jason’s mind, and that’s not easy to come by.  

“Removing a tumor didn’t remove everything automatically bad about me.” Glad to see you admit i. 

Why did they have to use sirens to go over to Anna’s house? Now we’re back to searching for Faison, again.

“I do believe the tumor made me kill. But when it was removed, I was still stumbling through life – with a hole inside me, until I met you. You want to study me? Give me a scientific reason how Elizabeth saved me.” I still believe that you’re not saved. After all, you admitted yourself that your mind is still “a dark place in there.”

If Peter is the traitor, then why is he so shocked to see Faison? Why was his reaction like it was? Does Faison not realize that it’s his son he is seeing? The only line that felt right was being out of place, because you wouldn’t expect Faison’s son to be in a place like that. I almost want to retract my theory, but I feel there’s a twist – like as if Faison and son have been separated so long he didn’t realize, and Peter wants to keep his cover for his own reasons. But maybe now with Maxie there, he will spill the truth to help protect her and the baby.
