And for someone who doth protest too much about Franco, here I am writing about him again. Okay, so let me see if I've got this straight: Franco is obsessed with Jason, or simply has a man-crush, I haven't figured out which. I can giggle, or shake my head in frustration - I haven't figured that one out either. Anyway, for someone with Jason stuck in their mind, you'd think that Franco would know every single little thing there is to know about his love-crush... er, I mean, his obsession (actually, that sounds almost as pathetic but never you mind) and all those who surround him. How could Freako not know that Spinelli is the Jackal or that he is the one that pinned the nickname Stone Cold on Jason? Hmmm... sounds like someone (an overrated, artistic screwball, perhaps?) didn't do their homework.

When I say freak, I really mean Freak. A. Zoid. This cat actually dug up Claudia for the love of God. I want no part of whatever creepy plot he is cooking up because, okay, that's just grrrrrroooossss! What would one possibly hope to accomplish by plowing up said Claudia, especially this poster boy of nutso? He keeps begging Jason to kill him. Do us all a favor, Borg Boy. Do unto Freako what he so requests and make it fast. In the meantime, Freako is planning who knows what, and seems to have targeted not only Jason but everyone around him and to really make me want to bang my head against the nearest wall, he keeps leaving his calling card all over the place. But when Freako sends Jason little Josslyn's missing hat, now we're getting into downright scary. All I can really say is that either this had better be good, or lose this story pronto.

But all is not a total write-off. We're beginning to see shades of actual writing here and there, such as Lisa's perfectly normal hesitancy about Robin's HIV status. Oh my, is that history being acknowledged? And Rebecca actually came to her senses and left Port Charles, but not before we got to see her icy resolve towards Elizabeth melt after hearing the story of Liz's rape, another nod to history. To top off our history sundae, On her way out of town,  Rebecca meets up with a man who looks exactly like Zander and is even played by that darling Chad Brannon.
