Making the Rounds at General Hospital - Hiding Out

Last week on General Hospital, Patrick owned up to his feelings while Skye tried to hide from hers about Lorenzo and his life of crime. Sam and Jason continued to hide from the law, and Luke shielded Laura from her past.

It's been a long time coming, and a moment scrub fans have been waiting for -- Patrick admitted to Robin he loved her. Though it was first uttered in a heated debate over his surgical practices, "Don't think just because I love you…," the statement scared Robin and saw her putting up all her defenses. Later, they shared a more romantic moment with music, flowers, and a mutual declaration.

I hope the writers don't take this as a cue to begin the slow destruction of the couple -- one of the few with energy, charisma, and chemistry. With both Patrick and Robin being doctors and the issue of her HIV status, there is really no shortage of storylines, and hopefully every one will be explored and not overlooked. They had been rumored to be victims of the Enduro condom scandal and it was certainly a missed opportunity for a great story.

Skye continued to allow Lorenzo to be a part of baby Lila's life and went so far as to go out with him to the Haunted Star, even though she admits his new plan to protect his family by becoming the biggest and baddest criminal around scares her. And it should. A mob war is brewing, as if Jason and Sam sneaking into the house to get information from Lorenzo's computer, holding her baby while they were there, and Sonny coming in with his henchman to confront the other man, interrupting their dinner, wasn't enough warning. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know when it all explode, there will be victims in the crossfire.

Aside from breaking into Lorenzo's home to gain access to his computer and try to figure out who put exactly what on the fabricated flashdrive, Jason and Sam continued to hide out from the police, obtaining safe harbor at the Metro Court. It didn't take long for the police to figure out Jason would look to Carly for help and the couple moved to another hideaway apartment.

They probably would have been good, except Sam couldn't resist the urge to visit her baby's grave on the second anniversary of her death — a move Ric was counting on. He had staked the cemetery with officers, and when Sam tried to run, she was shot. Though the bullet only grazed her arm, Ric insisted she go to the hospital so he could set a trap for Jason. Sam was sedated and hidden away while an undercover operative was put in the emergency room. It was released to the news she was in critical condition and, despite Sonny's warning, Jason came running.
