On Thursday's General Hospital:

As the storm outside began to rage, those inside Wyndemere were getting caught in a deadly web.

Emily and Nikolas tried to defuse the argument between Sam, Emily, and Lucky, but when Emily lashed out at Lucky for defending Sam, it set off one of Nikolas' rages. He jumped to his brother's defense and chastised Emily for her constant attempts to push Liz and Jason together. Emily took it all in stride, knowing whatever illness Nikolas has was causing the bad behavior. She quickly took Liz to one of the bedrooms to fix her gown and unloaded about Nik's condition. Meanwhile, Sam pulled Nikolas aside to calm him down, and then informed him what he had done when the rage was over; he remembered none of it.

Though Nikolas' episodes are out of character and rather scary, I have to admit there is something fun about watching him call people out on the carpet. The things he says while out of control are often quite true. Emily has appeared to have an agenda all along. She wants Liz with Jason and maybe for good reason, but Nikolas has a point, even if it's uncharacteristic for the prince to say so.

After finding her father, Logan, and Scott in the study arguing, an exasperated Lulu again told Luke she was with Logan whether he liked it or not and nothing he could say or do would change that. She then told both men the two of them wanted nothing to do with their multi-decade feud before they returned to the party.

With Nadine's help, Johnny was able to cut in on Logan and Lulu's waltz and then dragged the girl from Wyndemere. On the docks, he told her he had to get her off the island before his father tried to kill her.

A declaration like that will certainly drain the fun out of a party! The problem is, I suspect Lulu will not believe him. The way Johnny has been pushing her away, for her own protection, has hurt Lulu and for a Spencer hurt means defensive walls. I look for Lulu to turn and make her way back up to Wyndemere and right into the line of fire.
