Today was a good day! If I had to look at one theme that shined through today more then anything else it would be that those Spencers are ALL crazy.
Doubt that we may that Michael takes after his adoptive father, Sonny, one thing is certain. Michael does have a flare for the drama and that is 100% from his mother's side. Those Spencers are all crazy! Michael's need for always being in trouble does not come from his father side (either one of them Sonny or AJ) it comes from the Spencer side. Michael doesn't need to join the mob to get himself sent back to prison, oh no, he is doing a fine job at that on his own. I mean I have never seen someone so determined to get into trouble....OR have I? Oh why yes, yes, I have and who would that person be??? Why it would be Dear Ol' Uncle Luke. Luke has always gotten into trouble. Hell who do you think helped bring organize crime to Port Charles in the first place? Uncle Luke! So really there is all this talk that Michael wants to be part of the mob and live a life of organized crime and they argue it was Sonny and Jason's fault. Hell no! It was Luke's. And believe you me, Luke would completely agree it is his fault. Of course, right now Luke is taking the fault for everything gone wrong in Port Charles so it's probably a good time to get in line if you have anything you want to take out on anyone.
Lucky may play the sane Spencer but really is marrying a woman you hardly know really considered sane? I love watching Lucky and Maxie together. They are so fun. I really wish we would get a Mucky romance started some days. She makes him smile and there is no denying that chemistry! I think Siobhan was good for Lucky to bounce back but I think her time is drawing close to the end. The writers need to either spice up LuSh or move on. What I also like is Liz and Lucky are finally able to be friends again. I like they are rebuilding them finally. I don't know maybe it is just me, but I am starting to like Liz again. Don't get me wrong I don't love her but at least she is less bitchy lately. Maybe Jake dying made her seem like so much less of a bitch. She was actually trying to do the right thing today for Lucky. She wants him to be happy. I also am liking the scenes between Maxie and Elizabeth. They are funny together. You can tell KS and RH like to work together.
I was worried that today Jason would dash all of Sam's hopes and make her regret ever talking about the procedure. I was worried but glad of today's outcome. Jason did not completely crush Sam's hope for a family. Rather he just made it clear he doesn't think he is worthy of being a father to anyone's child. But instead of doing what Elizabeth did years ago when she was pregnant with Jake by tearing Jason down even more, Sam helped Jason see there is no one on earth she wants to have a child with except him. If he doesn't want a child then she will still love him just the same. Now that is devotion, absolute and complete love if I have ever seen it. I love that Sam didn't get hurt or defensive when Jason looked at her with that face of doubt. Instead she reassured him and pointed out that the few good quality Michael has that he learned those from Jason. Michael's few redeeming qualities (and there are only a few most of the time) are because Jason taught him to be loyal and true. Jason is loyal to a fault and true to his word not Carly and sure the hell not Sonny. Jason said the only thing that mattered to them most. He told Sam he wanted a family with her.
Of course Luke was on a rampage and derailed Sam and Jason's time together. I had wished for more family talk between Jason and Sam but we saw again and again why Micheal takes after the Spencer side. Jason rushed to take care of Michael and Sam got stuck having to deal with yet another crazy Spencer - Luke. Luke's rampage didn't spark the reaction from Sam he had hoped. Instead of Sam calling Jason about the horrible things Luke went off about, she went to Sonny and told him Luke needed a friend. Luke has also forgotten about the strong bond Sam and Lucky still share. Lucky went to Sam a month ago begging her for her help with Luke and she promised to try do what she could. I love that they are still friends and she called him to tell what Luke did. I am also most pleased Sam didn't call Jason. He has enough to deal with right now. Of course the final icing on that Spencers are all crazy cake today was when Michael confessed to Brandon's murder. There are a lot of stupid things he could have done in that situation but really he did the stupidest thing of all!!! Wow! Jason didn't teach him that! Again another Spencer trait.
