June 16th Recap

Spinelli has been caught by Maxie in front of Giselle talking in his Aussie accent. He fumbles for words as Sonny comes over and mocks Spinelli (calling him freaky boy again). Spinelli bolts and goes to the bar to down some vodka while Maxie tells him that he better not be messing with Crimson. She seems to think that this is some sort of Jackal PI undercover investigation of his that is interfering with her job.

Spinelli tries to explain about "Damian" but fails, popping in and out of his accent. Maxie seems to have something else on her mind that is stressing her and she is rude to Spinelli, telling him to leave and take his annoying personalities with him. Also, it should be noted that Spinelli is obviously tipsy at this point, making communication a wee bit tiresome between the two of them. Spinelli leaves the Haunted Star all sad faced at Maxie's anger.

Later, on the docks, the vodka has obviously gone to Spinelli's head. He is drunk and crawling around on the ground, singing to himself in an Aussie accent. Yeah. He then has this odd little monologue with himself, spotting a shiny object on the ground, Claudia's bangle. She comes around and finds him talking to himself like this. He begs her to leave him alone because "we" mean no harm, alluding to The Jackal and Damian. His split identities seem to leave Claudia confused. He explains to her that they are both him, his personalities, but are both socially inept and losers. He laments about how easy it was to be Damian, because Damian was cool and calm and knew what to say. However, Damian fell apart when Maxie showed up.

Claudia doesn't understand whats wrong with him except that he is drunk. It's a great scene, his monologue is both funny and heartbreaking (the definition of Spinelli), and, dare I say it, Emmy worthy stuff. This is just one of those rare scenes you watch over and over.

Claudia tries to give Spinelli a piggyback ride home. Jason comes into the penthouse and finds Spinelli (brace yourself) lying on top of Claudia, giggling, on the couch. Claws just shrugs innocently. This should be fun.
