This week has been the week of Returns

Luke's return surprises his non-wife and son. Tracie makes an ultimatum that he cannot ignore- giver her back her money and she will give him another chance. Now he just has to find out how to get the money. However, Ethan has his own problems regarding Luke's return. Two thugs came over to beat him up for information of Luke's visit to Ireland and seeing Ronan O'Reilly in jail. Low and behold, the guys are part of Johnny's men and really work for the Balkan. The Balkan might have more than one reason to visit Port Charles.

Johnny was earlier propositioned by Carly to go see Jason and bump into Brenda. Then she made the horrible comment that Brenda is always after her men. Carly get real! ALL of Carly's men knew Brenda long before Carly was even a blip on their radar. If anything, it's the other way around. Thankfully, Michael came to tell her about Claire threatening to send him back to prison. This of course distracts Carly enough so she goes to attack the other brunette who has been a thorn in her side.

However, Sonny has already gotten to Claire and shamed her into dropping her threats. He tells her that her issue is with him, not Jason or Michael which Claire agrees to. That's why she wants to make sure that Dante gets this case concerning the car bomb in Johnny's car right and is able to get an airtight case against his father. Unfortunately for Dante, he's also being pressured by the mayor- who keeps electing this moron as a city official- who threatens him by sending him up for a review if they cannot get Sonny for this bomb. Too bad for both Claire and the mayor, Dante's mind is not completely focused on his father. Brenda keeps popping up in his mind.

Speaking of Brenda, Maxi finally came face to face with The Divine One. To her horror and agitation, Spinelli defended Brenda and Jason kicked her out. I'm glad that Spinelli finally told Maxi that it was none of her business. She keeps claiming that Brenda is going to break his heart, but looks who is talking. The same woman who cheated on Spinelli- physically and emotionally several times: Johnny, Franco and Matt. Yet, Brenda is going to be the one to hurt him? As if!

Maxi was not the only one making a fool of herself today. At the hospital, tired of the stares and side glances, Robin makes another spectacle of herself by putting her dirty laundry out there in the open. Honestly, she's making herself look even more crazy and obsessed and bitter. This of course is going to be her downfall because guess who is back (besides Liz).... LISA!

Liz is probably feeling like she has been gone forever since everything has changed. The hospital is tip toeing around the drama of Patrick/Robin/Lisa. People are questioning her friend's sanity and are angry with her other friend. Dependable Lucky is nowhere to be seen. Also, Nikolas is no longer pining over her. In fact, Nikolas is living with Brook Lynn which upsets Liz, though I don't think its any of her business. She dragged her feet too much when he wanted her. Serves her right that he continued living his life after she left.

Speaking of Brook and Nik, Nik claims that he knows that a relationship between them would be bad and Brook calls him out on his still festering desire for his deceased wife, Emily. She, like many others before her, told him it was time to move on.
