Not Everything Is As It Seems

This week there has been one strong theme through out the entire week and that is, not everything is as it seems.  I'll admit it was a long week of wedding, wedding, wedding but underneath the very sappy over-blown wedded bliss was the danger of the Balkan and possibly Franco.  While I know I am the first to complain about how drawn out this wedding has been,  there are some pretty important things happening in Port Charles lately.  You also can't deny the writing has been very good lately.  Let's hand it to the writing team of GH for keeping us on the edge of our seats for these sweeps.

It's been a month of shocking reveals. We have known Theo was The Balkan but we only suspected Saghag Suzanne was Mrs Balkan.  We knew that Brenda was pregnant and that Dante had signed away his rights as the father but what we didn't know was that Dante and Brenda were not old flames for one anther.  We didn't know that Dante wasn't the father of the baby at all.  We have suspected that Saggy isn't being completely honest about the whereabouts of  the child but I think that will come to light very soon.  Some other things we didn't know until this week was Robin still loved Patrick. We have always known Jax hated Sonny but not until the limo exploded and Jax raced to the scene, we didn't know how much.  We still don't know what part, if any, Franco has in anything that is happening. 

The beginning of today's show was so well done.  Michael and Abby kissing, Alexis and Jax toasting to new beginnings, everyone happily throwing rose peddles on our newly married couple.  Happiness completely embraced the citizens of Port Charles for a split moment.  Then happiness was ripped away from those same citizens of Port Charles in a blazing flash.  The horror of a bride being blown up in the limo on her wedding day resonated through the whole city like a shock wave. As everything appeared Sonny's hell of his first wife had just repeated itself.

The children looked on as their new step-Mother was in a blazing car or at least so they thought.  The girls had no idea that their own sister was in that car.  While they went on about how worried they were about Brenda, they never dreamed their own sister was the actual victim.  As Jason raced over to the Archer Pavilion to be with Sonny he never thought to call Sam.  He thought she was there somewhere.  When he talked to Sonny about Theo he began to realize Sonny had not seen Sam.  But things were moving so fast for Jason with everything going on, he didn't think that everything was not adding up.  He even started to piece some of the pieces together that didn't add up, why did the Balkan want Brenda to die the same way Lily did.  It didn't add up. He was too wrapped up to realize that the phone call from Franco was actually a huge clue that he needed to start search for Sam.  Franco targets two people to get Jason's attention typically Michael and Sam.  Michael was among the crowd so he was safe.  Jason was sure Sam was either with her sisters or at the PH waiting for him. He never dreamed that the horror that he was comforting Sonny was experiencing was about to be his own.  In those few seconds while Sonny pulled what he thought was Brenda's hair out of her face and quickly realized it was Sam, another explosion happened in Jason's heart.  He's whole world just shattered when he saw Sonny pull down the blanket around Sam's face.  Jason's reaction was so incredibly sad.  The shock on his face made me want to cry.  I know Sam is alive and survives but oh my goodness if I didn't I would have been crying in that instant.  Even knowing that she survives, I got tears in my eyes.  I can not wait until Monday.
