My bad. Sasha thinks that Willow will figure it out based on the fact that she [Sasha] told Elaine her real due date, so they have to go public with Jason being the baby's father. Because babies are always born exactly 38 weeks after conception. And there is no one else Sasha could possibly have slept with except Michael.

Unfortunately Maxie is staying out of taking sides. It's too bad because Sasha does need someone to lay out some hard truths for her, especially that the dreaded "joint custody" isn't really bad. I guess there isn't really that much choice. Bobbie's or Charlie's are not special, the Brown Dog is worse, and the Metro Court or the place Cyrus works are too stuffy. Elaine was so grateful to Sasha for helping Mavis <eyeroll> that she told Sasha that she was a PI working on a case. As far as Sasha knows, it could be a completely different case. It's the Carly Syndrome, thinking that everything is about her. (We know that it is in this case but Sasha doesn't.) Now Sasha thinks that Elaine will figure out that Michael is the father (????) based on knowing Sasha's due date.

So I was right the first time, first year resident. (Javadi 3rd yr med student, Whittaker 4th yr med, Santos 1st yr resident, King and McKay 2nd yr, Samra 3rd yr, Collins and Langdon 4th yr) No explanation for why no one at Pitt corrected her last year. Or why she thinks it's okay to mock senior residents much less report them.

The first two years of medical school are in class. Clinical study starts in year 3 e.g. Javadi. As Santos is a 4th year medical student, this is only her second year doing clinical, basically her second time in a clinical setting. Apparently her last placement supervisors didn't correct her. Interesting page of backgrounds. I was right about Collins and Langdon being 4th year residents and Mohan 3rd year. I thought McKay was an ER doc but she's a second year resident like King. I guess she gets to do things less supervised because presumably she worked there last year whereas King is still an unknown quantity. Other notable thing is that Santos is actually two years behind King in medical education for all that she acts like her boss.

Laura: Curtis, "I know you're a really good businessman..." Laura, I thought you were smarter than that. Why would Sonny having to move his coffee warehouse be "a huge blow"? Is it a public museum now? Why does Congressman Drew get to decide where the McClintock Esplanade goes and not the mayor of the city? Why is a congressional committee deciding on it? Is that an American thing? And surely saying that the city would have to pay extra to put in the infrastructure and public transport to the pier location should be enough. Kai, taking Trina to her father's club is not the romantic swerve you think it is. Why are Joss and Trina terrible cooks? They're both intelligent women (allegedly), surely they can follow a recipe for a pasta dish. Do they order in every night that a family member doesn't give them food? Having Felicia go on and on about how a patient said Willow was just such a wonderful nurse is very lazy writing. What did Willow expect, leaving her beloved car in the Quartermaine garage? How is she getting to work if the nanny is using the minivan for the kids? Sasha to Jason: "What happens if they arrest you?" Jason:"Diane gets me out.: Seriously show? Zzzzzz Also bad writing: Sasha telling Jason that Willow thinks that Michael is the father of her baby. If Elaine really thought so, she wouldn't have told Sasha that she's a PI working on a case.

I really hate that Collins is losing the baby. It's unnecessary, there is enough going on on the show already. It would have been better to watch her try to figure out how to juggle profession and single motherhood. He corrected her and she resents it. She may be trying a pre-emptive strike to get him discredited so that she looks better in comparison. It's strange seeing the actress as a villain when she played a good character in ST:Picard. I worked in an ER part time when I was in university and this was true of mine too, beds were available on the wards but they were holding off cleaning them or telling the ER that they were ready until the change of shift to make less work for themselves and meanwhile the ER was overflowing, patients on monitors and beds in the hallways for days. Langdon was supervising her, it's his job as a senior resident on the shift. He's only known her for 7 hours so he doesn't know if she can be left to treat the patient by herself. It's possible that Mel is on the ASD spectrum but she could also be ADHD. There's a lot of correlation and ADHD is another condition where you're explaining and people walk away and you're left wondering why (personal experience). Javadi is a 3rd year medical student, Whittaker is a 4th year. Mel is a 2nd year resident and IIRC Santos is a first year resident. Collins and Langdon are 4th year residents. It was never stated what level Samra is; I figure that she is either a third year resident (junior to Collins) or a second year who spent last year at The Pitt and thus has more knowledge and trust than they give Mel yet. I have my suspicions about whether the wife of the ladder guy is telling the truth too. If she were really worried, she would have her daughter to the doctor.

One of the things that I like about this show is that it has such complex characters. Many different opinions of the characters, it's interesting to read why. To me, both Michael and Amy were stuck when their son died. Amy is actually the luckier as the accident is now forcing her to move on. She sees that Michael has remarried and is expecting a baby and that in the past she hurt Katie badly enough that Katie moved out and rejected her. Now she`s seeing what she became and making an effort to move on to be someone better. Michael however is trapped. He is still living in the same house, a `mausoleum` Nora calls it, keeping Danny`s room as a shrine and barely redecorating the rest. Nora wanted to move to another house but Michael couldn't. He's angry at Amy, he's angry at Nora, he's angry that Katie wants to move out, and he's angry at himself. He needs therapy even more than Amy does. Nora has been barely drawn but I can see her as someone who fell in love with Michael and didn't realize how stuck he was in the past until it was too late. She thought that she couldn't have a baby (told Michael that they thought it couldn't happen) but now that she is pregnant, she wants to be happy and enjoy it. She's frustrated that Michael can't. As a side question, why do two busy doctors (Michael and presumably Amy) need a dining table that seats 12 and why do Michael and Nora eat there instead of the breakfast bar in the kitchen? It feels dysfunctional. I get the impression that Michael unable to move on and his over-protection of Katie is hurting her too. Her eagerness to move back in with Amy and give up her room for the new baby suggests that she's not happy in that house either. Maybe she thinks that if she moves out, Michael and Nora will be able to move on with their lives. I like that Amy figured out about Jake by using her smarts rather than being told. It will be interesting to see who moves on where. Hypochondriac patient: "What's taking so long? What is this, Canada?" Cute joke but let's not promote misinformation. A good description of Richard. They did say that it was CIP, but not the words themselves. After Jake called her a unicorn patient (someone with a disease you know about but rarely is seen).

I like Alexis going all Cassadine about Cyrus. I've waited a long time for it. But stop apologizing to Jason. World's Worst Kept Sekrit Revealed: Sidwell is Natalia's ex. Leaving room for the Gio secret to take it's place. Brook Lynne really needs to fire Lulu's ass. These days having a job like that is a privilege and she has zero respect for her job. And Maxie needs to stop supporting her. Nice move away by Eva LaRue when Sidwell comes into the office. Sonny makes an offer to Ava: `You deal with it now or you lose in court.`` That sounds a small, insecure man, and unfortunately is reminding me of someone else. Oh horrors! Avery might have to speak to a therapist! Quick, settle before that has to happen. Kristina, no, Ava is not Carly. Which actually makes her a better mother for Avery.

These are just terrible people. Now Sasha got P.I. Elaine killed/hurt for what? To snoop in her purse? Sasha doesn't have any idea what case Elaine is working on. She's being Carly-ized from within, thinking that everything is about her. Am I supposed to think that Jason isn't stupid? Because threatening to murder Cyrus is still a crime even if he is the Hitman of Port Charles. Don't draw attention to yourself. I guess Kristina was right after all about not telling Danny. If they want me to ship Cody/Molly, they've got to give them some nice scenes, not just yelling at each other. If you believe that high-priced lawyer Diane and mobster Sonny would meet in a diner to discuss confidential legal matters, I've got a bridge you might be interested in. He has chemistry with everyone with a pulse. Or without one (Jordan). I got the impression that he was checking to see if Elizabeth was going to testify on Sonny's side in the custody case that Ava was trying to "kidnap" Avery.

So ridiculous. From what I'm remembering of Lila, I'm sure that Tracy inherited plenty of her jewelry. Poor JE, they really do keep giving her terrible writing because she can make anything work. Willow telling Nina that she didn't want to teach her children that they had to hide their feelings was so eyerolling. Meanwhile she's disrupting their lives by moving them back and forth between Nina's and the Quartermaines and presumably between nannies as Nina hired a new one. Separating the children from their home when their father is sick and far away is not good for them at all. If you need to sleep with Drew, get a hotel room. The writers seem to have completely forgotten that, that Cyrus used to be a Big Bad. Now he's just a poor old man wandering around delusional. A waste of JK. Alexa is doing a good job but Dante/Lulu is too soon for me. I liked Dante/Sam and this Lulu, while accurate, is too abrasive and too selfish for me.

Did Cyrus shoot Curtis? (Cheers to him if he did.) Or did Trina actually remember that Taggart raised her? Kai and Gio both 'poor thing' Trina was too much for me so I was glad when Emma snapped back and took Gio away. Speaking of babying, Nina I know that you are desperate to have a relationship with Willow but you need to stop babying her. Lucas, Carly's longest relationships are with Sonny and Jason, men who lie to her or keep secrets from her all the time. It's her jam. Trying to save her is a lost cause. Ditto Maxie warning Brennan to keep from hurting Lulu, the correct response is "I don't actually work here so I will have to ask Carly or Joss if you can pass those out." I like anvils as much as anyone but 🤢 at saying that both Gio and Dante have lovely eyelashes. Shut up, Kristina. You don't have to tell the whole world how much you hate Ava. it would do you good to stop obsessing about it. Danny has been delusional about Jason since this return.

The brassness, the conviction that she's always right, the entitlement to go above her superiors because she's convinced she's right, giving people nicknames that they have and still using them ... she should go into surgery. Mel is my favourite too. She's so much me at that age, or even parts of me now, that I cringe.

I thought that it was the patient in the wheelchair who called Robby "fruitcake". She struck me as someone who was primarily under psych rather than medicine.

So close. So so close to Lucky being the one to save Danny from Cyrus. But then Big Bad hitman Jason has to appear. Danny follows Kai on social media? Yeah, sure. I used to like Kristina but wow, these writers have ruined her. Definitely unhinged. Lexi should be happy that she's away from this mess. Why is Martin calling his nephew "Mr. Spencer"? It's bad enough that Liz and Isaiah are "Dr. Gannon", "Nurse Baldwin"ing each other. "That pesky environmental review." That's how you know that Sidwell is a villain, for those who haven't picked up on it yet. Willow is such a ninny, I don't think that it will matter to her. She'll say that Drew was just passing time with Nina because Willow was with Michael then. Did you have a sneak preview of the episode? Because you nailed it.

That Sonny even has sole custody of Avery is ridiculous. Except in Port Charles apparently. As well as being a well-known mobster, Sonny's apartment just got firebombed leading Michael to be almost killed. So instead of being with Sonny, who by the way is currently out of state, Avery is living in Carly's house, who was also out of the country, a woman Avery has no familial ties to. That Sonny, much less Joss or Kristina, has any legal right to keep Ava away from Avery is ridiculous. Do better show. Or at least do more interesting.

I don't get what the problem was with Avery visiting Ava's new apartment. Presumably Sonny has custody which means that Sonny gets to make the big decisions for Avery like school and medical treatment. That doesn't mean that Ava can't take Avery on a trip to her apartment much less visit with her in the park. Unless Ava is prohibited from interacting with Avery, which frankly there is no cause for, Kristina has no legal right to keep Avery from Ava. What is Ric talking about? These writers have no idea what custody is. This so much.

The power differential is an interesting twist here. At this point, Jake is senior enough that as long as Amy treats him with respect it shouldn't be a problem A residency in internal medicine is three or four years depending on the program and IIRC Jake is in year 4 even though technically it was wrong and Amy could be in a lot more trouble with the medical board than she already is. Rules aside, I think the real abuse of power is Richard and Sonya introducing Amy as "Amy" rather than "Dr. Larsen". They should have been in family therapy years ago. Does the older boy know that one of the reasons his mom is pushing the transplants is because she doesn't want her younger son to feel guilty that he could have helped his brother survive and didn't?

From the framed picture of Dr. Adamson on the wall, it seemed to me that he was a POC. So I'm guessing that Jake is Robby's son.

This wasn't one of the best episodes. I can see that they are trying to redeem Sonya now. What @Madding crowd and @topanga said about the DNR. There should have been a very visible notification that he was DNR and I don't see Amy being the kind of person who doesn't check a patient's chart before going in to talk with him. And definitely there should have been a psych consult before approving it. Sonya, Amy and Michael were all projecting on to the case. Sonya especially needs a transference session with a therapist. Miller is desperate to keep Amy from remembering what he did, and as she said, the medicine impedes her recovery. I think that Gina's best argument was that Amy woke up 6 weeks ago in love with her husband. Jake's eagerness to tell her about their relationship is understandable but he is going to be very disappointed in Amy's reaction, which would probably be to push him away since she's still trying to deal with her feelings for soon-to-be-father Michael as well fresh feelings of grief over her son. Jake's best strategy would be to be her friend and wait to see what develops as she adjusts to her new life. Hopefully he's mature enough for that.

Willow/Nelle and Nathan would have been cousins. Wylie and Amelia are second cousins to James. Maxie and Willow don't act like they are family at all, even if by marriage. I miss Liesl.

So Cyrus killed Sam because she was engaged to Lulu's Dante. Yawn. I'm so tired of Lulu's obsessive search for Charlotte. Take a breath, look after the child that you have in Port Charles, and mend fences with the ex you say you're in love with. Okay writers, what Drew did to Willow's marriage is not what Nina did to Carly's. Carly rejected Sonny post Nixon Falls before Nina slept with him. But everyone must bow to Carly. Gio has been on since May 2024, the character having the same name as the actor. I get the feeling that they grabbed the kid, put him on the show, and the retconned backstory came later.

I can see that if Jake grew up visiting his dad in the ER, the older medical staff like the charge nurse would think of him as a member of the family and want to protect him. Even Langdon, who also slipped him a condom, has been there for at least 4 years and would have known Jake since he was a preteen. I don't know what it's like in PA but where I live there aren't enough family physicians and so people who don't have one go to the ER for things that they otherwise should be going to their family doctor for. Re moonlighting in the ER: I was in once and my doctor was Vincent Lam, the author of Blood Letting and Miraculous Cures. I didn't have the courage to talk to him about it. He still practises and writes on the side.

Did Rocco inherit his "I love coffee" gene from Sonny? Brook Lynn was 15 when she got pregnant which would make her 37 now and a geriatric pregnancy were to get pregnant. But what struck me is that at 15 she would till be a camper instead of a counsellor-in-training (which is what I thought). Didn't the camp authorities keep an eye on the older kids? When Lois was talking about who would be affected by finding out that Gio is Brook Lynn's child, did she mention Grandpa Ned at all? I get the feeling that he doesn't care about Cyrus at all, he's just part of the special Joss project. Brennan has 2 purposes in Port Charles: recruit, especially Joss; and romance Carly.

I thought that the best thing about today is the relationship between Danny and Rocco. Glad the writers are still keeping that. Oh, look at Brennan practically drawing Joss a map on how to find Cyrus' hideaway. That's not WSB material, or rather it shouldn't be. How did Joss know that Austin testified on Cyrus' behalf at his parole hearing? Is she allowed access to those files? (I'm preparing to be disappointed when I hear why Cyrus murdered him.) Tracy finding Lois in Martin's hotel room makes me ask yet again, why exactly is Lois on the show? Willow passionately kissing Drew while wearing Michael's rings (nice sapphire there). Have some respect woman. Poor Nina, Carly is the only ally she has. I would forgive the show a lot if it's Dante or Chase or even Molly who saves them. Anyone but Jason saving them as he saved Sasha, Cameron, Trina and everyone else. That trope is so old, it's on life support.

Maybe it bothered me because it was such nothing advice. Maxie went to sit with Emma at Emma's table, basically told her that Anna is too smart to be fooled (which is something that she should have left Emma to find out for herself as that would have been more effective) and then told Emma to go away when Sasha came over. Rude. So Anna is now incompetent so that Joss can be the one to solve the Cyrus-killer mystery. I wonder how Finola feels about that, or if she's just accepted that everyone will be secondary to the Carly/Sonny family
