Previews for the week of 28-Apr-2008
by Carol Banks Weber
**Jason stands down a shooter. Spinelli and Jason go after Ian, with Maxie hiding in the truck back there unseen. It won't be a comfy ride. Ian tries to make a break for it. Spinelli pretends his appendix is bursting to stall. Johnny's firing at Sonny only serves to deepen the mobster's self-destructive spiral. Sonny's condition disturbs Kate and will lead her to a regrettable choice. Kate tries to persuade Sonny to turn the other cheek. Sonny pays Kate no mind about keeping peace. Sonny and Kate make love, but nothing's different in the difference between their viewpoints. After Sonny and Kate make love, he informs her that he's still on a mission and she's free to give up on him. Ian gives himself up to Kate as the guy who missed a hit and hit Michael. As Kate is getting over this stunner, Ian proposes she buy him off with a million before he splits. Kate will transfer Crimson funds for the transaction of buying off Ian, so Sonny will no longer have that ax to grind. But those missing funds will raise the curiosity of Maxie. Sonny restates the necessity of Lulu losing Johnny. Johnny makes Logan a witness to his threat to do fatal damage to Ric should Claudia meet with ill will. Lulu can't take Johnny's not-so-nice inclinations, and endeavors to walk away from him for good. Claudia ropes Jason into lending her a hand. Anthony's hearing begins in full swing. Alexis says no to Diane asking her to be a co-counsel. Claudia is called to take the witness stand, and blows total smoke the entire time. Anthony comes calling on Luke. Tracy is alarmed for Luke's welfare should he be caught between two mobs. Luke takes Tracy by complete surprise when he blurts out that he really does love her. Lulu expresses her distaste for Johnny to Anthony. Anthony strives to take back control of his mob organization, shunting Claudia aside. Anthony works Trevor against Ric. Alexis uses her lawyerly clout to close the Haunted Star. Nikolas relishes being around Nadine, but it's far from a romance. He says he likes her as a pal, but love is another matter. Tumor Emily approves of Nadine as Nikolas's pal, looking out for his best interests. Nadine and Nikolas go horseback riding, and then she says she can prepare a lovely meal for them. Nikolas declines, desiring to spend the rest of the night with Emily for what he knows will be their finale. Nikolas and Emily are dressed to the nines, like a prince with his princess, as they waltz together at Wyndemere, reminisce, and exchange I love yous. He swears to her that he will not let his life be in vain. Sam makes known to Lucky that her body seems to have developed a tolerance to the painkillers' effects, 'cause they're not doing anything for her. Lucky takes tender care of Elizabeth. Carly turns a deaf ear to Michael's prognosis. Jax indicates his desire to make Michael and Morgan his very own with Carly, through adoption. Jerry attempts to cover his tracks. Max takes up the Diane factor with his boss, Sonny. Maxie undermines Lulu while toiling away in Crimson's offices. But something goes awry. Spinelli delivers Lulu and Maxie from a dilemma. Lulu and Maxie continue to clash. Patrick yaps to Coleman at the bar about how attractive Robin's mom is, when Robin walks in, eyes glaring. Anna reacts
oddly
to Robin having a baby. It's more about Anna and the label of grandma. Next week: Jason is a wreck
Jason pumps Ian for the truth
Jason takes up the matter of Ian with Kate, since he just discovered the two are associated in some way
Jerry controls Claudia
Anthony delights in aggravating the animosity between Trevor and Ric
Carly wants to handle Michael's condition personally, going against the grain

Tracy uneasily notices a spark between Luke and Anna, and feels threatened. **
