Deja vous

John McBain came back into town to check on the investigation into Cole and Hope's deaths. His first stop was the PCPD where he grilled Dante about the investigation. He accused Dante of not being impartial. He told Dante that he knew his father from a long time back when he was FBI and he was there to make sure the prosecution had the evidence to finally convict Sonny. Dante accused him of being too emotionally involved with the case. These two will definitely be butting heads again. John then left the precinct.

How John McBain wound up at the church where Robin's funeral had taken place escapes me, but it was an interesting moments for fans of the former soap "Port Charles" of which the actors who play John McBain and Sam Morgan were once the "it" couple.

John comforted Sam who was visibly upset after Jason took off after learning that he had missed Robin's funeral. Jason angrily warned Sam to NOT follow him. Jason doesn't get angry too often but like Carly said, he hates having decisions made for him. He was also devastated over Robin's death.Sam was sitting there talking to Robin when John walked in. It was a funny moment of deja vous which the characters commented on but not all fans get the joke. As a former fan of PC, I got it.

Jason wound up on the bridge where he regretted not being able to wish Robin back. Elizabeth appeared and Jason told her what an unforgivable thing it was for Sam to keep Robin's death from him. Elizabeth tried in vain to defend Sam's decision. If anyone can explain why Sam did what she did, Elizabeth could but does she want Jason and Sam to work things out? Her intentions are just as questionable as Carly's.

Luke found Anna at Jake's where she was drowning her unhappiness over finding out about Patrick's deception. Luke asked Anna if she really was angriest with Robin, not Patrick's indiscretion. Luke knows Anna for a long time and he could be the one to repair her feelings about what she didn't know about her daughter's life.

Maxie continued to insist that she killed Lisa and eventually spilled the truth about her "deal" with Anthony Zachara. Mac brought her into PCPD to talk after realizing that Maxie wasn't going to give up her claim of being a "killer". Did Maxie really kill Lisa?

SPOILER ALERT: Felicia will be returning this spring to PC. Could it be because her daughter murdered Lisa?

Carly and Johnny tried to get close but were interrupted by Connie/Kate. Connie loudly was knocking on the door and said something about taking down Sonny which got the best of Carly's curiousity. She opened the door to find Kate/Connie and asked her what was going on. Johnny could do nothing but stand there. We all know that the first chance Carly gets she will be running to Sonny to tell him all about his crazy girlfriend.

Patrick returned home and a few minutes later his father Noah Drake arrived. He apologized for taking so long to get home but explained he had been overseas. Father and son embraced.

Sonny went to the hospital to see Jason but found him missing. He ran into Michael and had a discussion about how dangerous Todd Manning is. Michael tried to downplay his continuing grief over Abby and Sonny told him to not compare his grief to others. He warned Michael about Todd and pointed out how Todd was exploiting his daughter's grief by splashing her story on the front page of his paper.

Breakdown

Today's episode was full of breakdowns. Kate/Connie, Maxie, Jason and Sam's marriage, Patrick...

During Maxie's outburst at Robin's funeral, she mentioned how Patrick worked so hard to fix his marriage after Lisa. Mac, Spinelli and Matt brought Maxie into the hospital as she continued to demand that Mac arrest her for killing Robin.

Anna confronted Patrick about Lisa and wanted to know what Maxie was talking about. She was shocked to her what went on and ripped into Patrick telling him that he did not deserve her daughter's love. She then told Patrick that he did not deserve to raise Emma. Anna insinuated that she would be raising Emma, not Patrick.

Carly told Jason about Robin's death and made sure that he knew Sam kept him from knowing. Jason reacted angrily and went to the church for the funeral but he missed it. Sam found him in the empty church and Jason asked her why she lied to him.

Sam insisted that she did what she had to in order to save his life but he insisted that his life was not worth saving. He also told Sam that she had no business making that decision for him just as Carly had insisted he would feel. Jason may not forgive Sam for what he sees as a betrayal.

Carly who was very pleased with herself, showed up at Johnny's and when she told him what she had done, he accused her of not wanting Sam and Jason to be happy. Carly continued to defend herself and her bond with Jason.

Kate lost control and Connie came out much to Sonny's surprise. Sonny appeared confused by Connie and didn't succumb to Connie's advances. Kate regained control and threw Sonny out. I think Sonny finally realizes that Kate needs psychiatric help.

Meanwhile at the hospital Maxie confessed to killing Lisa, insisting that she was the "real" killer.

We know that Anthony made it look as if the ship's captain killed Lisa but was it really Maxie?

Did Carly succeed in breaking up Sam and Jason?

Will Anna fight Patrick to get custody of her granddaughter?

Will Sonny get Kate the help she needs and will he realize that Kate is responsible for the accident that killed Cole and Hope?

Monday started off with a bang and it should make for an interesting week.
