Okay, what's new?

Carly and Brenda have another face off where Carly warns Brenda that her secrets are going to get her. Right when I think Brenda has a backbone for standing up to Carly (and threatening to steal Jax away if Carly doesn't back off), she calls and demands for Jason to come back because of Carly's harrassment.

Brenda is not the only one who is telling Jason to do something about Carly. Even Michael is worried about whatever scheme his mother has in store. So he asks Jason to talk to Carly, but Carly refuses to let go of her anger towards Dante and need to get revenge. Surprisingly (NOT!) the only one who is in support of Carly's plan is Maxie who was played by Spinelli (of all people). Finally using his brain, Spinelli worked on Maxie's insecurities when it comes to his devotion to the "Divine One" and made her jealous. Score one for the Jackal.

While Maxie is hating on Brenda- for NO reason- Robin is somewhat relieved when Patrick told her that he was able to dissuade Lisa from going to the board and firing Robin. What he did not mention was Lisa's "joking" ultimatum- she'll drop the charges if he sleeps with her. I'm sure she was just playing with his head and trying to wear down his defenses, but I'm also positive she was trying to gauge how receptive he was to the idea. Thank goodness, he remained the good husband and declined.

Speaking of husbands and wives, Ethan and Maya return to Port Charles still married despite both claiming that they don't love each other (They have "feelings"). Little they know that they would return home to a sentimental Edward who has a lucrative proposition for them: stay married for a year, and he will give them a million dollars. Now how can a Spencer turn down such an offer?

Concerning offers, I am sure that it's only a matter of time before Alexis and Diane offers Claire a position in their law firm. Diane has a very healthy dose of respect for Claire while Alexis has been in her shoes before. If Claire does lose her job thanks to this investigation- which she probably will- she will need a job. Of course her deal to get Sonny more time with Michael is not going to help her case either. And if my suspicions are right (she's pregnant with Sonny's child) she will be staying in Port Charles for awhile.

Also seeming like she is going to stay in Port Charles for awhile, Siobhan is enjoying her time with Lucky but is continuously reminded how little she knows about this man whose life is very complicated. It includes an unsteady relationship with his half-brother, two adorable boys who aren't biologically his and an ex who has been in his life (and in his heart) since they were teenagers. That's right, Siobhan and Liz come face to face and I don't think Liz is happy to see her ex being friendly with the strange woman with pretty hair. (I believe that's what Liz commented on- her hair).

There is another female who doesn't appear like she will be disappearing anytime soon: Abby. Again she pops up when Michael needs to talk. However, during their conversation, Michael grows upset and suspicious of how much she knows about his ordeal at prison. I'm still unsure about her. There's just something I don't trust.
