Meanwhile, back in Port Charles, Lorenzo discovered Ric had assigned Lucky to watch his house and decided to turn up the heat on the crooked DA. He called off his henchmen and allowed Lulu, Jason, and Spinelli to return to Port Charles. While Sonny distracted Ric, Jason turned himself in, and Spinelli showed the police detectives how he had faked and coded the flash drive, providing a duplicate copy of the evidence.
Mac Scorpio asked Ric to produce the original flash drive for comparison. Ric found his locked drawer empty. Though he blamed Jason and Sonny for stealing it – it was in fact Lorenzo, who also has a taped confession of Ric saying he planted it in Sam's apartment to frame her. To the rest of the world Ric is beginning to look corrupt, to Lorenzo he is looking more and more like his personal puppet. At some point, amidst all of this, he also found the time to plant a ziplock full of pills in Lucky's desk. (Who is going to find them first is the big question for next week's viewing.)
Jason's first order of business after having all the charges dropped was to go to Alexis' to take Sam home. After finding out all the recent events of the case, Alexis called Ric over and encouraged him to drop the case against Sam since he had no evidence. When he refused, she threatened to offer up his one-night-stand with Sam as proof the charges were vengeful. Ric threatened back that if Sam was put on the stand, he would drag her through the mud. Personally, I don't think Ric is going to be active DA, let alone walking around and breathing, long enough to take this case to trial. He has too many enemies and too many on the police force are suspicious of him.
After a heart to heart with Mike, Sonny realized he would be foolish to not come clean with Carly and admit that he still loves her and wants her back. He called her over with the pretense of discussing the children, and planned a nice romantic dinner. Carly was shaken by the display, but played it cool and reiterated how destructive to each other they were when they were a couple, and waned on about how much she loved Jax and how determined to marry him she was.

Great article Connie! I love reading positive press about Rick Springfield! Though I am a recent (12/05) return viewer to GH (yes, because of RS), I am totally caught up with the Patrick and Robin storyline and I love watching the 3 of them all together too! The past 12 months have been a real treat to me!

Agree wholeheartedly about the fantastic on screen chemistry tween Rick Springfield (Noah) and Jason Thompson (Patrick) Drake. The doctors Drake are terrific individually and amazing together! Not to mention the similarity in their looks, mannerisms and tone. Just great GH viewing. I to hope along with you and a bunch of my friends that we see more of them and continuing to be more supportive of each other.
Robin and Patrick ain't bad either!

Thanks Paula and Lauri!
As I stated in the early installments of this column, I returned as a viewer to GH after more than ten years and stayed on when TPTB began bringing back even more of the veteran characters.
The more we can see of the Doctors Drake the happier this viewer will be. I would be even more thrilled if they started writing story lines for the other veterans they have brought back, only to use as window dressing.

I know I'm going completly off topic but I just got to say that I am a huge Liason fan and I really want them to get together but I read that Jason and Sam might have a baby together next year and I will be furious if they do. Because Elizabeth and Jason belong together! By the way don't you think Ric liking Elizabeth again is kinda creepy.
