Early in the week Tracy stumbled across Dillon and Lulu in the throws of passion on the floor of the boat house. Much to the embarrassed dismay of the two teens, she enlisted the help of a not-so-willing Robert Scorpio to hand out the "evils of teenage sex" speech. While Dillon told his mom he was still in love with Georgie, Lulu less than convincingly told Robert it was all about the hook up. Robert saw through the pretense and feared that his best friend's daughter was on the road to being hurt.
In recent weeks they have pushed Lulu into the form of a mini-Carly, even having the teen now turn to her cousin for advice. The main difference between the two, and something the older pointed out, is when Carly starts a scheme she sticks with it even if she feels it may have not been the best choice. Lulu immediately felt guilty for lying to Dillon about seeing Georgie and Diego together. After her heart-to-heart with Carly, she tried to come clean with the boy – but he refused to believe she had lied to him.
Carly was also the topic of "boy's night out" mid-week. Unlike when the girls do it, this time Jake's patrons didn't intend to spend the evening together, but ended up there from their separate needs for a drink. Whether we're talking about Max's puppy-dog like crush, Patrick's lustful desires, or Ric's embedded hate, it was all about Carly.
It was just odd, however, to have this set of guys spilling their hearts on the open bar. For some it made sense, Lucky and Nikolas are brothers but just a few scenes prior Patrick was threatening to expose Lucky's drug addiction to his wife. Then try and work Ric and Max into the equation, and it all seems contrived and forced. All in all, the scenes were cute, but it did make me realize one thing seriously lacking in Port Charles is male camaraderie.
When she wasn't offering sage advice to Lulu or staring in a slew of fantasies, Carly was caring for Sonny. She took the brunt of his attacks, talked him down, convinced Jason to come to his side, and helped protect him from the meddling of his brother. Along the way she admitted to Lainey that it would be very easy for her to fall back into her self-destructive enabling of Sonny. I think she protests too much and I don't see any other ending on the other side of Sonny's therapy but a reuniting of him and Carly.

I think Patrick is angry about Lucky's drug addiction and he'll use anything (the threat to tell Elizabeth) to knock some sense into him. I don't think he'd tell Elizabeth.

I agree - when push comes to shove I don't think Patrick would follow through with telling Elizabeth either of Lucky's problems right now. I guess that's why his threats seem so out of character to me.
He now recognizes Lucky is addicted to the pain killers and is in no condition to be back at work, maybe you're right. Maybe this is his proactive way of trying to get Lucky to face his demons.
