An Offer Too Good To Refuse?

Jason’s week start out pretty interestingly when the federal agent shows up at his door offering to wipe his legal slate clean in exchange for dirt on Sonny. Diane urged Jason to do it, but he didn’t seem convinced. Later, he went to see Sonny but ended up seeing Claudia instead. She informed him that her husband withheld any action while Jake was in custody, but now he’s ready to go after any and all enemies. Jason made a hasty retreat.

Sam and Lucky argued when she informed him that she had no intention of giving up her pursuit of the Russian mob. She went off to see what dirt she could dig up, but Sasha and her goons apprehended her instead. While trying to flee, Sam fell into a deep pit and injured her hip. By week’s end she was hallucinating and near hypothermia.

Claudia tried to bring a little holiday cheer to Sonny’s drab mansion, but he insisted that he didn’t need a Christmas tree to remind him of what he no longer had. She put up a tree anyway and told him that it will make him feel better. When he saw Michael’s ornament, he only felt worse.

Jax presented Morgan with his gift early because he planned to spend the holidays with Lady Jane. He kindly told Carly to have a Merry Christmas and left. She started remembering happier times and asked Sonny to come over. When he arrived, Morgan greeted him and Sonny looked like Sonny again. He smiled.

Luke had a big week. He continued to try to convince Tracy that he wants to spend his future with her by acting as if he was drinking himself to death. Eventually he was able to convince Epiphany to admit him to GH and dummy up the monitors to look as if he had suffered a heart attack. His plan backfired though because Monica came bustling in and insisted that he needed an emergency bypass! Tracy stood by and almost let him get sedated, but Luke finally admitted his ruse. Monica warned him to never use the hospital in this way again but said that Tracy needed to take him back because she’s a bear to live with. Tracy was flattered for his efforts, but said that she couldn’t stick around and wait for Laura to return and claim him.

Tired of sponging off of Maxie and Lulu, Johnny went out and got a job as Christmas tree lot worker. Lulu was proud of him, but Claudia offered him a big wad of cash. Johnny wanted no part of Zacchara money and insisted on going it alone.

Robin, Patrick and Emma started to settle into a good groove. They put up a tree and looked forward to their December 26 wedding. Robert appeared, followed by Anna, and assured everyone that his Swiss doctor’s were able to put him into remission. He marveled over Emma and Robin asked him to walk her down the aisle.

In Ohio, Raylene was buried and her will read immediately following. The lawyer put a DVD into the machine and Raylene delivered her own final wishes. She left millions to Bo, Van and in trust for Nadine’s sister Jolene. For Nadine, she merely left an envelope. After everyone left, Nadine asked Nik to open it and it turned out to be the patent for Raylene’s invention for farm machinery. Nadine was surprised and very proud of her enterprising aunt and the secret life she lead as an inventor.

Sasha called Jason and told him that she could lead him to Sam if he transferred money into her account. She explained that she needed to leave the Russian mob because with Karpov dead, they would be looking to get rid of her. Jason wired the money, but Sasha was shot before she could tell him where Sam was.
