Today's Friday episode was a bit of a let down. No big cliff hangers or dramatic moments to hold us for the weekend. I think yesterday's episode was more in tune for what we're use to for Friday episodes.

Oh well. What did happen? A drugged Robin has fallen into Lisa's hand and no one is listening to Patrick who knows that something is wrong. I would wish that Mac would get off his soap box- reading to persecute Patrick for being a cheater- and actually listen to the man who is sincerely worried about his wife and daughter. And he should be worried because Lisa is completely deranged. Feigning innocence, even in Robin's face, Lisa starts planting seeds of doubt in Robin's hazy and vulnerable mind. Creepy in so many ways.

Speaking of creepy and a bit possessive, Claire continues to make her tour around Port Charles telling everyone who is willing to hear/listen that she has told her superiors that she has had a conflict in interest and can no longer persecute Sonny because she finds him a better lover than enemy. Carly is amused, I wish I could say the same thing for Jax who goes off about how Sonny is able to get off without any repercussions. Then just who pops in but Sonny which Carly begins to bounce around, knowing the reason Sonny is not in Rome saving Brenda- because he has his hands full with Claire.

Sonny and Carly would probably not be happy if they knew what was going on in Rome. Just as Jason was about to leave, a few of The Balkan's henchmen were able to force their way into Brenda's room and drug her. Thanks to Suzanne, Jason was able to swing back to the hotel and come to the rescue. However, the fact that the men did not kill Brenda but wanted to her alive revealed that the Balkan does not want to shut-up Brenda. In fact, he wants her for a specific reason. The trick would be getting Brenda to admit what she knows.

I still think Brenda's secret has something to do with Dante's secret and Lucky's assignment in Ireland. After escaping The Balkan's men, he maneuvered himself around Dante and Lulu's surprise appearance in the pub where Siobhan was instantly suspicious of them. Now that they are there, Lucky will have a hard time posing as Ronan and trying to coax Lulu back to Port Charles. The second generation of Spencers are having their own adventure for a change. Luke would be so proud.
