Making the Rounds at General Hospital: Country Clubs and State Penitentiaries

On Friday's General Hospital: Sonny spends time with his daughter at the country club, Liz goes into labor, Lisa continues to cause trouble for Patrick, Franco threatens Lulu, and Jason is headed back to the big house.

After Sonny silently watched Jax head off sailing with Carly, Josslyn, and the boys, Claire approached to tell the mobster he did the right thing. She then handed out some free advice – get out of the mob for his kids' sake. This, of course, was met with laughter. Shortly after Claire left, Alexis showed up to invite Sonny to join her and the girls at the Country Club for lunch. He readily agreed and all was going well until Warren showed up and threatened Alexis and Kristina with Kiefer's wrongful death suit.

Sonny's scenes both with Claire and Alexis and the girls were actually fun to watch. The dialogue was something other than "it's not my fault," and we actually got the feeling that Sonny really cares about the kids and not about how he's being judged. As for Warren and the wrongful death suit, I think too much time has passed. Granted, these things take time, and they used Nikolas's threats as reason for the delay, but the story has grown old in the viewer's mind.

Dante, Jason, and Spinelli continued to try and decode Franco's clues. They ran with the idea that the song "Route 66" was a road map to Franco's killing spree, even though Dante thought that might be a rouse. Meanwhile, Franco appeared at Crimson to terrorize Lulu. After complaining because neither Dante or Jason were guarding her, he asked, "Who do I have to kill to get some attention around here."

Lulu tried to sneak her cell phone and call Dante, but Franco caught her and threatened to kill her while Dante listened. Franco then gave her an envelope and told her to tell Dante that it's a souvenir from Barstow. After Franco left, Lulu called Dante and he met her.

Back at Jason's, Ronnie showed up with the file Dante requested and arrested Jason, saying that since they have a lead on Franco, Jason's release was terminated. Back at Prison, Jason found a picture of a toy monkey behind bars on his bunk. My question is how did Franco know Jason was on his way back to prison. My guess is that Ronnie is still working for the psychopath.
