Prologue to a Makeover

Recap: May 27-May 28

Spinelli began his day helping out Carly on her scheme to get out of town with Morgan. The whole event upsets him, so he goes to council with Maximista at Crimson about how he could possibly help in such a depressing situation. Sonny walks into the office and Spinelli tries to give his opinion on the subject of Sonny's paternal rights. Sonny doesn't take his advice kindly and throws The Jackal into a post, knocking Spinelli's head on the structure so hard he can't walk straight.

Maxie immediately jumps in to yell at Sonny for attacking Spinelli. She takes him back to her house and tells him that she will take care of him all night in case he has a concussion. Spinelli melts at the idea of being with her all evening.

When Spinelli awakens the next morning in Maxie's bed, the details of what transpired the night before are fuzzy to say the least. Spinelli asks what happened between the two of them and why he would be in her bed. Some things get...lost in translation. Spinelli thinks he and Maxie went "beyond friendship", when in reality nothing happened and Maxie had simply been tending to his possible concussion all night. Mac comes into Maxie's room and discovers The Jackal snuggled into Maxie's bed. Chaos ensues and Spinelli is thrown out of the house before he can get a more detailed explanation of what really happened.

Sam finds Spinelli confused and muttering to himself on the docks. She asks what is wrong and Spinelli explains to her that he thinks he might have slept with Maxie but can't remember. Sam goes to find Maxie and discovers that nothing at all happened. She meets Spinelli later at the penthouse to break the news to him that he didn't have any sort of "relations" with Maxie at all. He decides that he is pretty pathetic, being in the same bed with his love all night and not even kissing her. He fears it will be a hopeless task trying to get Maxie to see him as a guy, a love interest. Sam realizes that all Spinelli needs is a woman's perspective. She agrees to take him under her wing to help him get the girl.

Spinelli's hair gave Dillon Quartermaine's famous locks a run for their money.

Game On.

Jason compares SOMEONE to Maxie...

JASON:(to Spin) I used to know someone kinda like Maxie. She, uh, cause a lot of damage and some people hated her but no one ever hurt her as badly as she hurt herself. It's kinda like Maxie. I mean, she isn't afraid to go after what she wants but, you know, some people, once they get what they love, they can't help but destroy it.

Spikey here..

So who is Jason talking about in this? If it's Carly, then I'm making my UGH face. I get that they both do this kind of self destruct thing, but I just can't deal with another Carly on this show. We've already got three of them with Claudia, Carly and Lulu.

Maxie needs to be Maxie.

Still, because it's no secret that the current PTB tend to recycle, There was some speculation that Spin's life is a parallel of Jason's.

Hmmm. They are both nurses...



what about SPIZ?



SPOBIN???



SPAM???

Are you confused?

Last night, I swore it was a dream (at least some of it)



Today, I think it all happened.

Of course, I'm talking about the series NIGHT SHIFT.

After thinking on it, I like that it happened. I think it deepened most of the characters involved (Patrick probably took the biggest hit) but certainly Robin, Spin and Jason are the better for it. I've really come around to the thought that this troubled girl was Spin's first sexual experience, and he really got to her.

I like it.

Of course, Jason was the hero of the shootout, but Spin had his moments, certainly Robin did.

Jolene jumped in front of a bullet meant for Spinelli, and she is now in an apparent irreversable coma.







Today's show verified that it was real. (at least, I got that impression) Leo was shot. Kelly had her sex problem. Lainey/Cody were plotting to allow Jolene take the blame so he wouldn't go down for her pulling the plug on her father. Spin was wondering why Jolene was willing to die to save him.

As for the part of the show that isn't so HUH? Carly took Spin by the hand today and offered him junk food. Of course, we know this means trouble.

Smartly, Spin ran straight to Sonny. Mr. Corinthos sir, Valkyrie, Valkyrie, etc. etc. Sonny told him to say "CARLY". Spin managed to spit it out.. C-C-C--Carly. ha!!

Lulu Broke My Heart :(

(Tuesday's Episode)

Well she has gone and done it..My fear these past few months has been that Lulu was going to break that special guys heart. How sad. He went to the station to talk to Jason not about something important to Jason but something important to him. He considers Jason a friend and friendship goes both ways and Spin was making sure he was getting his end of the bargain too.

Damian Spinelli for the Defense part 2

Spinelli told Jason about what happened with Lulu and Jason gave him the advice that Spinelli has to let Lulu make her own mistakes. Poor Spin wants Lulu to have someone who will cherish her and love her. He wants to prevent the pain he knows Lulu is going to feel.. awww. Spinelli your so Special.

How cute he looks in that suit

At the Metro-court during Spin and Jason's talk Lulu is having her own talk about Spinelli with Carly. I thought it was pretty meaningful how they had the mirror heart to heart discussions.
Spinelli seems to have a deep understanding of everyone but himself.

Spinelli stopped by the courthouse and saw Sam. She told him that she was going to testify again. Spin could tell by the way she was that Sam was going to say things just to get back at Jason while on the stand. Spinelli worked his magic and Sam didn't change her testimony while on the stand (pretty much she didn't say anything bad) It is amazin how this bbq & orange soda drinking hacker has become the moral center for the show.

Spinelli came to the metrocourt to get Carly advice and Lulu just happened to be there also. Carly left them alone to have their own private discussion. Spinelli asked LoserLulu (hey Lulu should be the one asking for forgiveness) to forgive him. He got on a knees and in a really sweet wonderful moment Lulu followed him and got on her knees too. So sweet (though she is still a loser till he drops that monster)

oh the best non-Spin related momment of the show was ......

You can always count on me.....

Can I just say this to get it out of my system? Lulu Spencer.. Your a ..... (it rhymes with witch...)
Tell me after you broke sweet Spinelli's heart did you step on or over the pieces of broken heart? Did you hear the crash as they fell to the floor? You take and take from Spinelli and give back so little. You spoken in absolutes in that you would never love Spinelli. I at least comfort myself in knowing that absolutes mean nothing to a girl of your age.

Do you realize how truly lucky you are to have such a special man like Spinelli in your life? Ok enough of that whole bit. I think my feelings are clear. I didn't take any pictures of the scene because honestly I didn't want to watch it over and over again to get the right pictures.. I did dig out the 'spoiler' pictures that came out a few weeks about for this scene.

I honestly thought this was all the Spinelli we were going to get today and then I was surprised with a cute little scene with Carly and Mr Craig (aka Alan's murder and fake Jerry) I loved Spinelli's and Carly's dialog back and forth. It was funny when she protected Spinelli when Fake Jerry threated him. I just love it when Spinelli said:

I think it would be better if you and I took hands and fled

If the Jackal wants respect I have to man up.

Zip it Damian. Zip it..You don't need to be more 'man'.

The drought is over. After almost two weeks we get our Spinelli back (if for just a bit)

We started off the episode with Spinelli coming out of no where in to a scene with Mr Craig & Carly. He was 'trying' to protect Carly from the unhinged one.

karate kid?

You notice that in the scene Spinelli has what looks like a busted up lip. Come to find out it is chocolate.

Yum Chocolate

After a verbal beating by the fake Jerry Spinelli goes into Kelly's and licks his 'wounds' where we also find Georgie . (or Loyal Little Sister). He does not think he is manly enough in general. Poor baby. Georgie plays her common rule as cheerleader for everyone member of the young adult group.

The dos and don't s of gun Safety

assassins of cyberspace should not pack heat

common sense. NOT a good idea!

looking cute with a gun does not mean you should hold one

sometimes girls can surprise you

See the first rule .

The whole thing with Spinelli and the gun was interesting when you take into account the episode of Night Shift on the same day.
