Simple and Strong

Today's show was a perfect balance of entertaining and dramatic.  The underlying theme was about being strong and enduring.

Today's show started and I blurted out, "Oh look it's Lucky!" We forgot all about him running around town strung out. It's been almost a month for him wandering around, or at least it seems.  It has been one long day in PC hasn't it.  Luckily, Lucky didn't torch the chapel he just simple lit a candle and drifted off.  I am so glad the Spencers rein of arson took the night off for a change.  By the end,  Elizabeth finally found him so there is hope.  But one question, how did she get there? Her car was in an accident and it didn't look very drivable the last we saw it.  Is she now into hot wiring?

An entertaining part of today's show was of course the most comical lawyers in town. Alexis and Diane together is always classic comedy but add Coleman into the twist and those 3 might need to go on the road with their routine.  I love how Alexis told Diane about Jason and Sam.  Diane is so happy for them and that makes me like her more.  There are no two funnier ladies on GH then Diane and Alexis.  The whole discussion on Alexis' lack of a male suitor was priceless. I could not stop laughing during these scenes.  I loved the balance with their scenes today. 


The dramatic and tender mix for today took place mostly at GH.  There were so many tender moments today at Jason's bedside today.  Jason's love ones are there for support even if they can't stand each other they realize they need to be there for Jason...well most of them do at least.

Carly would be one of those. I think while Carly won't admit it, she is realizing that she might be more at fault for the events of the evening then she claimed she was at first.  Sam to Carly: "It's not all about you right now Carly. "  I think that  started to resonate with Carly when she sat in Jason's hospitial room.  Carly admitted to Jason this accident was her fault.  She also admitted to Jason Sam is right about the fact she relies on Jason too much which is absolute truth. 
Carly to Jason: "I know you love Sam, Jason.  and I am happy you are going to marry her. Well I am happy you are happy."
I am glad we got to see some of this side of Carly that she actually felt remorse for everything that went on recently.  I was starting to wonder what was wrong with Carly if she had completely become unhinged and had become a total bitch.  I am glad there is really some humanness  deep down.     Of course then her bitch switch got flipped again and she was back at Sam and fighting dirty with every relative of Jason's.  But maybe now she is leaving GH for tomorrow's show things might get better for the Q's and Sam. 

Jason and Sam's love was best described by Sam today as, simple and strong.  There is no better way to describe their love for one another.  When Sam was in Jason's hospital room, she moved me to tears.  Sam is terrified to death but she is staying strong for Jason.  It was cute that she joked about if this was his way of getting out of planning the wedding, it was not going to work.  Sam has never needed a ring to ever tell her what she knows and what she feels, that Jason is her soul mate.  They both know it.  I can't help but to think while he is lying there all he is thinking about is waking up to be with her and get married like they had planned.  Their symbol of their love maybe a lug nut but today Sam explained that means so much to her.  To her it means the joining two parts together forever and their bond will not be broken by anyone or anything, not even Carly or a car accident will stand in their love's way. 

While Sam didn't knock Carly into the next zip code today, I am glad she was calm and logical when she talked to Carly.  Jason would be the same way with Carly.  He would point out the her that Carly needs to step back and not aggrivate the situation.  Sam respects Carly but today Carly doesn't deserve too much respect. 


Edward came rushing to GH.  It was sweet how he ordered around the staff.  I am so glad the Q's are back on screen.  Monica rushing to Edward to calm him down was so cute too.  I love how Edward and Monica band together in time of crisis.  These two will go toe to toe over most things, but right now they are each others rock. Emily would be proud of those two today.  While Edward sat by Jason's bedside, I think Sam gave him the best news he'd heard in ages.
Sam to Edward: "He'll come back, to all of us because he has to.  He has finally promised to make an honest woman out of me."
This news made Edward smile.  I love how he treats Sam.  He is completely supportive of their relationship.  He always has been for the most part.  True he wasn't real thrilled with her when Jason and Sam were running around town saying Jason was the father of her baby.  But Edward was quick to come around to Sam.  He has always seen how much Jason loves Sam.  When Sam was in the explosion Edward was beside himself because he knew if anything ever happened to Sam, Jason would be lost  forever.

The news of Jason's condition seem very grim.  Patrick did not give much hope as to what the mass is at the base of his spine.  Monica being a doctor knows how to cut through Patrick's medical BS and was quick to jump on the surgery bandwagon.  While she had decided in her mind that Jason needs this surgery and right away, I am glad someone challenged her on this.  Monica is not Jason's medical decision maker anymore.  I am glad Sam blurted out: "I'M HIS FIANCE!!!!"
I think it was good for Monica to know the news.  She would have probably preferred to find out another way but the news is out now.  I loved Edwards reaction to it.
Edward to Monica: "Oh yes, their engaged. I just found out it myself.  It is wonderful, isn't it?."
I love Edward!

Tomorrow should be interesting to see how this plays out.  Couple of things though about the medical decision maker- Matt should know Sam is Jason's finance.  He knows Maxie was busy planning their engagement and then hunting down her ring.  Also I am sure Maxie has told Robin and Patrick by now that they are engaged. Maxie isn't known to keep her mouth shut.

I read all these spoilers for a few weeks now about things upcoming and so far they have not be accurate.  I was discouraged and a little frustrated by some of them.  But today's show was awesome.  I wasn't sure if Jason or Sam would be on.  I was so delighted to see them.  I think I am going to take a few weeks off on spoilers.  They all seem to be a little off.  Join me :)
