Funniest Moment: This exchange between Jason and Diane had us rolling. Diane, trying to make Jason notice that she's in a bad mood, tells him, "You have yet to comment on my curt demeanor." Jason: "You're always like this."

WTH? Moment: Kristina was so totally harsh to Michael earlier this week as she tried -- yet again -- to convince to stop seeing Abby and date girls his own age. She's already been kind of a pill about this before, but this time, after running Abby down for not being good enough for Michael, she cut to the chase: "When are you going to get over that hooker?" Harsh!

Best Moment: We're kind of fascinated with new-guy Shawn. Clearly, he's got it in him to be a kind, helpful man. So why's he in town working for the Balkan, beating up Johnny, and planning to kidnap Brenda? Still, we really loved the scene where he sat Molly down and talked to her about his PTSD. We're as impressed as Carly was by such a good deed. Now to get to the bottom of the rest of it ...

Performer of the Week: Andrea Bogart as Abby Haver. Big week for Abby, as she defended herself to Jason and later tried to defend herself against Brandon. We've already liked Abby as a sweet love interest for Michael. Now we're starting to see her as an interesting character in hew own right.

Why We Love General Hospital This Week: Brook Lynn pulling one of over on Elizabeth -- and beating her at her own damsel-in-distress game was delicious. The best parts were those fleeting moments when Brook shot Liz a look like, "Yeah, that's right. Do something about it."
