If you say essential person one more time I am going to scream ....

It all came crashing down yesterday.

My already cracked Spixie heart was shattered.

Spinelli confronted the slimness that is Johnny and Maxie.

He even punched Johnny (and Penny cheered)

I can give you brooding and I have better hair then him.

Maxie realized she may lose her essential person and Spin told her to stick it.

now I understand what they mean by loose lips sink ships

Then our brokenhearted hero proved he still cared about Maxie by threatening loser Johnny.

I don't know where I stand with Spixie at this point. I really think Spinelli has had enough. Maxie is going to have to kiss a lot of buts before I see her worthy of the Jackals affections. Someone commented in the last recap that he needs someone like Winnie.. Well he doin't need Winnie but he needs someone that cares about him as much as he cares about them.

Of Moose and Men

Recap: May 5th--May 6th

Our evening begins with Jason and Spinelli tracking down Ian Devlin for answers regarding Michael's shooting. Little do they know, there is a stowaway on board.

After giving Jason a million dollar smile, Spinelli actually gets to drive the Mob Mobile.

"Look mom! I'm driving with my eyes closed!"

He drives too slow for Stone Cold's tastes, looking out for baby moose and lizards on the road. Jason irritation at the grasshopper's cautionary driving is tested when Spinelli has to slam on the brakes as a moose gets in front of the SUV. As he does this, he flings Maxie out of her hiding spot in the back seat. She decided to stoaway for the night's adventure.

To say the least, Jason is not pleased. He drops her off at a bus stop. Jason then tells Spinelli to frisk Maxie for the keys she stole to get into the SUV. The Jackal falters a little. Turns out Maxie had the keys hidden in her shirt...Hmmm...Anyway, Jason wants to get a move on. Spinelli tells her that he cannot abandon Jason at that moment and stay with her at the bus stop because Stone Cold is out for revenge and very emotional, and since Jason has never left him in his hour of need Spinelli cannot do the same.

On the road, Spinelli confesses to Jason that he is actually in love with Maximista. Jason is surprised and asks "What about Lulu?". Spinelli explains that he loves the Original Blonde One as a dear friend but his heart no longer races for her. Maxie has him under her spell but he doubts she will ever look on him with affection. Jason warns Spinelli that he once knew a woman once like Maxie who had a way of destroying the things she loved. Spinelli seems genuinely aware of the risk involved with loving a girl like Maxie.

Back at the bus stop, Maxie has been taken hostage by Ian. She sends a text message to Spinelli for help. Jason and Spinelli arrive just as things are getting tense between the doctor and Maxie. Spinelli begs Ian not to hurt her. Ian confesses to shooting Michael but won't say who hired him. He is distracted long enough for Maxie free herself from him. Jason shoots Ian as Maxie runs into Spinelli's arms.

Afterwards, the police arrive and Maxie explains to Mac what happened, how Jason shot Ian, but then adds that Spinelli did most of the saving. Our Jackal couldn't be more pleased by her comments.
