It was a real cliffhanger Friday with an intensity that was long overdue. It's been a long time since we've had one that left me counting the hours until Monday.
Everyone knew when Carly got a hold of the paternity secret she would make life a living hell for all, but I really didn't suspect it would give her a case of selective amnesia. Yes, Carly, keeping a father away from his child is wrong. It was wrong when you did it with A.J. (a fact she's seemed to have forgotten). This is different thought. Jason and Liz made a choice together, for Jake's safety, and I think that those are hard things for her to swallow – self sacrifice and admitting just how much danger her own children are in.
Major kudos to Sonny for calling her out and for trying to get her to understand the decisions are Jason's and Liz's to make, not hers. I felt super-bad for Jax when she brushed off his attempts to work on their relationship because she had to solve Jason's problems. Jason may be Carly's BFF, but Jax is her husband. Between the trouble brewing on the home front and Jerry's life as a drug overlord coming to the surface, I would say it's almost time to cue Ingo Rademacher's vacation time. (Look for a brief three-day recast of Jax, I believe later this week. Gideon Emery stepped into the role oh-so-briefly to cover for Ingo.)
While Carly was causing havoc, Lucky was doing damage control. He visited Liz to reconfirm his position, saying he would continue to pretend to be Jake's father, for Jake's safety, and only he only hoped she and Jason continued to feel the same. He also played daddy to Cameron, backing up Liz with his own "playing with matches is bad" speech. (Like that wasn't the most obvious foreshadowing ever!)
