Be Careful What You Wish For

We all know the saying spoken so many times.  "Be careful what you wish for because it might just come true." Sometimes in live, things happen exactly the way they are supposed to happen.  Even though when some things happen sometimes that change the course of history forever,  we wish they would not have happened that way at all. We can't see why this is a good thing at all.  But unfortunately that is life.  Sometimes life alter tragic things happen that knock your whole world off kilter and you never understand why but sometimes they have to happen for something wonderful to happen down the road.  No matter if you have a deep religious faith or not, this is still true. 

Now, I'll be the first to admit I wasn't super excited about these 'dreams' today because I tend to like to stay in the 'reality' of GH not the dream land of it.  I don't know why some of the particular characters got dreams and others did not.  Why did Edward get a dream instead of Monica? Well lets take a look at that one.

In the wise words of Edward Quartermaine, 'Be careful what you wish for.' No one knows better then regret.  Edward's whole life he tried to swindle and manipulate those closest to him to make the model heir to his legacy but even Edward realizes that sometimes you need to be careful what you wish for.  He has had a chance to reflect back on his life in the empty big house.  I think even Edward sees that sometimes things happen for a reason.  Maybe they would have lost Jason in another way if it hadn't been that car accident so many years ago. 

Monica wished today that what is Jason hadn't been in that car with AJ all those years ago.  What would life had been like.  Jason was the perfect son devoted to his mother.  An absolute mother's dream of success or was he?  By the end of the episode we saw that they would have lost Jason anyways but not to a car accident or the mob but to something much more powerful, drugs.  Jason Q the perfect Dr, the perfect son and the perfect Quartermaine was also the perfect cocaine addict.  Clearly the high expectations they had placed on Jason since a small child had a lasting effect on him.  Though he was so perfect in Monica's eye, he had his own vice.  So similar to the reality of what actually happened to AJ.  AJ was the only son after Jason became Jason Morgan.  AJ had so much pressure to be perfect that he turned to alcohol.  We saw today that Jason would have turned to a vice too to cope with all the pressure.  The Quartermaine's expectations and pressures were too much for anyone to bare no matter how perfect they appeared.  I think this dream will actually allow Monica to look deeper and just needs to accept Jason Morgan.  This will also remind her that maybe things happened for a reason and Jason was never going to live up to their unrealistic expectations, accident or not. Nevertheless, it was nice to see Alan back on GH. 

There is no denying that Carly has always been a huge part of Jason Morgan's life.   So it is no surprise that Carly had a dream.  Jason is the one man that Carly has not managed to drive away with all of her insanity.  Her dream was just flat out funny.  It was kind of warped and so vintage Carly.  Kind of amusing to see into her head and how even more self centered she is in her head as well as 'reality'.  It was a riot.  I thought it was great.  Carly can wish all she wants but Jason clearly knows in reality he wants Sam. Of course, I never want to see Carly and Jason back together.  But I still thought it was funny but even Carly's dream you saw this would not ever work in reality.

Okay why did Liz ( aka Slutty Sneak) got a dream and other women of Jason's past did not?  I mean what about Robin?  She was he first love as Jason Morgan.  She taught him everything about love.  They were as close as two people can be in the day.  Now I get Robin has moved on with her life and is married now.  So therefore, she doesn't dream of other men.  BUT Liz is all hot for Lucky and I thought there was an LL2 reunion coming.  SO what was up with her dreaming of Jason?  Isn't Lucky supposed to be her true love?  I didn't feel this did the LL2 fanbase any favors by having Liz dreaming of another man.  What was interesting about her dream was Jason was kind of sleazy with her and she even tried to trap him with a baby in her dream.  Maybe she has always known the only way she could attempt to hold on to Jason was to trap him with a kid.  Be careful what you wish for Liz, because even in your dreams you know Jason (no matter if it was Jason M or Jason Q) really isn't that into you and never wanted to spend his life with you.  I still felt this dream did a great disservice to the LL2 reunion and kind of ticked me off because I want to see an LL2 reunion.  Not to mention, where are her kids? Does she spend ANYTIME with them at all lately? 

Now, of course for the reason we watch.  Today I was in tears over the Jason and Sam scenes.  Together Jason and Sam decided he would get the surgery.  I loved how he explained to Sam they are one unit now so he wanted her to be part of this decision.  He wanted her to be able to say how she felt about this whole thing.  Sam made it crystal clear that losing Jason will never be okay.  She will never be okay with that and doesn't want that to happen. Jason wants a life with Sam more then anything so much so he is willing to do something he has never wanted to do in the past, fight for himself.  He wants to have this surgery because he knows this is the best chance he has of getting the life he has always dreamed of with Sam. I love that Jason also brought up wanting to have a child with Sam and wanted to try for a baby.  The topic of baby hasn't been really discussed much since Sam recovered from the surgery and had the negative pregnancy test.  But Jason wanted Sam to know he wants to have a child with her.  Jason knows he will never find anyone that accepts him like Sam does and he wants a chance to live that life he is planning with her.  Therefore, he is willing to undergo brain surgery to help him get that chance at that life.  Now that speaks volumes about how much Jason wants this future with Sam.  Jason hates doctors, hospitals and most of all surgery but he'll do it all without hesitation if it means he can spend his life with Sam.  

Jason reminded Sam how much he loved her and before he went into surgery even in their silence their glances of love spoke volumes.  Just amazing scenes today between Jason and Sam in his hospital room today.  I got just gitty with excitement when Sam mentioned the date of the wedding today as Sept. 23rd.   I am excited they have set the date.  That must have been the date the lug nut fell on that Sam circled on the calendar. 

Poor Sam.  She has been so strong during all of this but she is so terrified.  She is so afraid if they don't have the surgery Jason will die without warning.  She remembers this fear when they thought Jason was going to die before.  Sam was the one that saved Jason then by convincing him their love was worth fighting for.  This time Jason already knows that their love is worth fighting for.  Sam was by Jason's side until the surgery and even during the surgery she went to his hospital room to lay in his bed.  Sam let herself dream about how life would be married to Jason.  She saw them happily married in Hawaii in their little cottage on the beach.  They were so cute and in love. I loved seeing them sporting their wedding rings.   He teased her about her treasure hunting and she teased him about becoming a beach bum.  They were so happy and in love.  But even by the end of the episode danger came to their perfect little heaven. Danger if the form of a gun man at the door.  Sam's fears are not at bay.  She knows she could lose Jason.  Even in her dreams, her fears can't hide.  Sam has always wished they could just go away together and never be bothered by anyone else, but the truth of that is danger will always be around the corner in some form be it a gun man, a car wreck, a man made virus or even the outcome of a risky surgery.  But what remains true in all of those is their love will always carry them through. 

This has been a rough week.  We hardly saw our super couple.  I was beginning to wonder what they looked like again.  But alas today's episode did not disappoint.  I am glad most of it was about Jason and Sam together and their love.  I hope we don't have to stomach much more of the other ladies fantasies about Jason on Monday.  Hopefully we'll get to see more of Sam and Jason though.  I read Jason doesn't wake up until like the week of 9/6.  So next week will be a lot of other people on I am sure and just Sam by his bed side. Keep the faith. I know, I get annoyed too with all these other storylines on everyday but not JaSam.  But September is  going to be a good month for us JaSam fans.  Keep the faith, the 23rd is only around the corner.
