Dr. Finn shows up, carrying a lizard… everyone is shocked when they see him, except Monica.  Nina comes into the hospital for her second opinion about her fertility; Franco is trying to call her… he wants to come see her.  Nicolas is staring at the painting of Helena; he wants to burn it, but Spencer has seen it.  Hayden thinks she can see something in the picture.  Jason and Sam sign the final papers for their divorce.  Franco stops by the table to say hi; lets Jason know that he is still going to keep seeing Jake.  Dr. Lee tells Nina she agrees with Dr. Westbourne’s opinion, based on her notes; Nina asks her to do her own exam.  Albrecht is mad about the new doctor being there – Monica explains that she called him in.  Spenelli calls Sam with some news; Nicolas is all kissy with Hayden, trying to stop Hayden from examining the picture.  She think she knows what it means.  Dr. Finn explains to Tracy that the infection is actually a worm (she freaks out).  Franco shows up at Nina’s appointment; he asks Nina why just being the two of them cant be good enough.  Alexis asks Nicolas how the will reading went; Sam shows up at the door of Wyndemere.  Sam tells Hayden that she needs to talk to Nicolas; tells Hayden she met Naomi Dryfuss.  Jason and Elizabeth agree to work together to keep Jake safe.  Tracy insists Albrecht let Dr. Finn treat her; Monica tells her to use her power as chief as staff to get Dr. Finn privileges.  Nicolas tells Alexis about Helena’s portrait, nothing more than evidence of her malignant narcissism; Hayden says she doesn’t know any Naomi Dryfuss, and kicks Sam out of the house.  She walks back into the room with a terrified look on her face.

Monday 03-21-2016

Buzz surrounds the hearing for the case against the mayor… Tracy makes Monica promise to pull the plug if she is not able to.  Dante runs into Valerie and Curtis at Crimson; he is there to … the girls tell Julian that the campaign is a hit – he’s oblivious to what is going on.  Olivia refuses to drop the suit, despite the mayor’s demands and harassment of Metro Court.  Tracy has another spell of confusion; Monroe thinks he knows what is going on with her (Brad slipped him the test results).  It appears she has acquired an infection from some food she ate with Ashton, in Mexico last month.  Nina finds out Curtis is a private investigator and hires him to find evidence about the sabotage. 

Testimony begins; Olivia and the mayor give their testimony, then Carly, then Jordan; closing arguments are made.  The judge appears to be leaning in the mayor’s favor when several women walk in, breastfeeding their babies; Nina, Maxie, Carly and Alexis all bare their breasts in support of Olivia.  The judge rules in Olivia’s favor.  Nina tells Julian that she has found a way to make the magazine a success.  Diane flips on the mayor and decides to represent Carly against her for the code violations; she demands that the mayor allow the Metro Court to reopen immediately.  Diane tells Alexis she let her win.  The mayor makes one more threat, to Alexis, before leaving the court room.  Dr. Mayes threatens to have Monroe and Brad fired from the hospital for violating the HIPPA act; tells them they are both done with medicine.  Monica calls a ‘Dr. Finn’… an infection specialist, to take a look at Tracy’s case.  He looks just like Silas.

Friday 03-28-2016

Carly is panicked about losing Avery; Sonny tells her he isn’t worried.  Valerie meets Curtis for their date.  Christina and Molly talk about Parker.  The trial begins; Alexis is prepared.  The mayor enters, with her lawyer, Diane.  Valerie tells Curtis she has a lot of respect for Jordan, and since Jordan has a problem with him, she is going to need a really good reason to keep seeing him.  He asks her to join him in the Crimson competition; Nina’s plan to save Crimson once again is trending all over the internet – the contest is on.  She is sure now the sabotage is by order of Julian; Julian tells Ava he is worried for her; her people are angry about her working with law enforcement to bust the gun smuggling ring.  Christina tells Molly she is questioning everything now – she’s confused about her sexuality.  The mayor demands that Olivia drop the lawsuit; she vaguely threatens Alexis, in the courtroom.  Carly tells Sonny he cannot go causing trouble at Christina’s school; he wants to find the man who got Christina kicked out of school; won’t he be surprised to find Parker.  Insults are thrown back and forth in the courtroom; Olivia is recording the whole conversation.  Julian offers to handle things for Ava – uh oh.  He’s going to get in trouble with Alexis.  The mayor grabs Olivia, trying to take her phone – now who’s assaulting who?  She knocks it out of her hand, and Diane erases the recording.  That’s so wrong.  Valerie and Curtis come in with a completed copy of the magazine; Maxie takes their picture, to ‘blast all over social media’.  Ava comes to ask Sonny if he would keep Avery a little longer, claiming that Kiki just needs a lot of her time and attention right now.  He calls somebody to thank them, saying “Ava got the message, loud and clear.”

Thursday 03-17-2016

It’s the morning of the big hearing for women’s rights to breastfeed in public;   Albrecht finds Jake’s book and asks Franco about it.  She tells him he shouldn’t be afraid of having children; he’s great with children.  She says children are resilient, even if you screw them up, they bounce back; “just look at mine” she says.  That’s funny.  Nina suspects that it might be Julian who is sabotaging the magazine.  She says she is going to call the printers.  Julian insists that he be the one to call them.  Sonny tells Christina he knows her secret.  She gets defensive and tells him he had no right to do this; he tells Alexis that Christina got kicked out of school.  Christina seems surprised that’s all he knows – he asks her what else there is that they need to know. 

Sam tells Jason how important those pictures are – she tells him she is glad he found them again – he asks her what she thinks it means.  Ava comes to pick up Avery; Carly tells her Avery is asleep.  Ava insists on seeing for herself.  Sonny tells Alexis there was an issue with some professor, that Christina got accused of harassment; he thinks that means some male professor was harassing her.  He says he is going to confront that professor.  She tells him to stop; she admits its all true… She proceeds to tell them the story about Parker, admitting that she offered sex for a passing grade.  She avoids mentioning that the professor was a women; she sobs as tears run down her cheeks. 

Olivia comes into the hospital, itching; Albrecht takes Leo and hands him to Franco, ten minutes, she says.  Not even he can screw that up right?  Haha… he sticks the baby in a laundry cart when he gets a phone call from Nina, and walks away.  When he comes back around the corner, the laundry cart is gone.  Christina says she doesn’t want to go back to school; Sonny tells Christina that he can’t tell her that he isn’t disappointed.  Alexis hugs her.  Franco gets angry with Albrecht for handing him the baby, as he tells her he lost it.  Olivia finds Leo in daycare, after a nurse found him in the cart and took him there. 

Carly asks Ava if there isn’t a way to stop wading through blood and find another way to move forward – Ava scoffs that she’ll be careful not to disturb the armed guard on the way out; she leaves a care package for Morgan.  Alexis asks Christina if she couldn’t talk to someone at school about this problem – she asks about Parker.  Carly tells Sonny that Ava made it clear that she plans on taking Avery back, sooner rather than later.  Ava gets a frightening message from her ‘own people’ (a black rose, for Kiki, with a warning to her mother).  Sam tells Jason we wants a divorce, right after telling him that she wants to be with him again; only that she wants to start over, fresh (it might be more fun).  He kisses her hand.

Wednesday 03-16-2016

Apiphany questions what is going on between Elizabeth and Franco; Elizabeth adamantly denies anything is going on.  Nina comes into the locker room angry and tells Franco she’s been giving him the silent treatment for two days and he hasn’t even noticed; he asks what he did.  Nina said she found out he went to Philadelphia to visit Elizabeth and didn’t even tell her.  Sonny tells Max that Carlos Rivera is still alive, and he wants to bring him back alive to give up Julian Jerome.  Julian cooks breakfast for Alexis before Olivia’s hearing – and offers to serve it in bed.  Sam brings Jason his memorial plaque.  Christina comes to see Sonny; she tells him it meant a lot to have him at the wedding, even before he saved her life.  He invites her to come stay with him, but wants to talk about her professor, Parker.  He tells her he is not swallowing her story about independent study, the professor visiting her here; he wants to know what’s going on. 

Molly brings Alexis flowers; she tells Alexis she is proud of her, says her classmates are all talking about the breastfeeding lawsuit.  Maxie and Dillon talk about Crimson; she asks how his mom is doing.  Apiphany insists Franco must feel something for Elizabeth; she insists it was Jake he came to visit, not her.  Christina tells her dad she has to get to the courthouse to wish her mom luck before the hearing on the case against the mayor – he reminds her of his offer to stay there.  The new issue of Crimson arrives, with each box containing only one page out of the magazine – not one full issue bound.  Maxie figures out that someone is sabotaging Crimson.  Nina asks Franco if she has to worry about Elizabeth; he tells her no (but looks confused).  Elizabeth flips out and tells Franco that she is finding a different art therapist for Jake.  Alexis asks Molly to tell her what is going on with Christina because Christina is avoiding her; Alexis gets a phone call from Olivia. 

Molly tells Christina that she needs to tell her mom she got kicked out of school – and that she is gay.  Alexis walks in on their conversation.  Sonny sends Max to find out what is going on with his daughter at school.  Franco tells Elizabeth she can’t run away from the truth; Jake is clearly hiding something – only he will be able to get it out of him.  He promises it will just be about him and Jake.  Jason brings home two pictures he found in a second-hand store; he said they just ‘drew him in’.  Sam tells him they were his; they sat on the mantel in his penthouse for years.

Tuesday 03-15-2016

Sonny goes to visit Morgan in the psychiatric hospital  Ava tries to get Kiki to wake up; Kiki speaks again.  Dante and Valerie have a heart to heart; they decide that they can still be friends.  As Laura wanders around the house, trying to figure out what the key belongs to, Nikolas tries to convince her that she should just forget about it.   Griffin Monroe tells Ana that he is actually Duke Lavery’s son; he didn’t find out until his mother died and left him a letter.  Ana tells Griffin that she understands how he feels; and that she wishes he could have gotten to know Duke.  She tries to tell him a little about Duke; says he would have been enormously proud of him.  Hayden meets with Curtis, who insists she co-sign on a loan with him; Valerie comes in and Curtis greets her; he tells her he is staying in town and asks her out on a second date.  Alexis asks Julian to help her advertise the hearing on Olivia’s lawsuit against the mayor; she has prepared a press release for him.  Ava calls Sonny to tell him that Kiki has been asking for Morgan, even though she hasn’t woken up; she asks if Morgan could talk to her, thinking it might help.  His voice wakes her… he tells her everything is ok.  She says she wants to see him and he tells her he’ll come see her soon.  Julian gets a phone call telling him the job is done; he says that’s exactly what he wanted to hear.

Monday 03-14-2016

Lulu shows up for the will-reading; Laura can tell she has good news.  Elizabeth is leaving the mansion and is stopped by Scott; he tells her she is a beneficiary of the will so she needs to stick around.  Monroe looks in the mirror at a scar on his side, obviously fresh out of the shower (in a towel) and bumps into Maxie as she rushes into the room.  She drops her files; looking for Apiphany she said.  As she tries to stand up, she twists her ankle.  Monroe says he can minimize the injury if he acts fast.  She says go for it.  Sam runs into Alexis at the bar and tells her Helena cursed her before she died; maybe the cut finger was a result of that curse.  They leave for the reading of the will.

Ana thinks she might have figured out the answer to who Griffin Monroe is (but she’s wondering if she might be crazy).  Nathan and Dante speak in the evidence room; Dante tells Nathan that he and Lulu are back together.  Finally, Nathan says.  Nathan tells him Maxie is letting the ‘Claudette’ thing go… Dante tells him the Maxie he knows doesn’t let things go.  Nathan tells Dante, Claudette was not only his ex-girlfriend, she was his wife.  Wow.  Ok.  Maxie might be upset about that.  Ana thanks Andre – after Jordan walks in on their conversation; tells Jordan there is something she should know about him.  She simply admits that Andre is her therapist.  Maxie and Griffin Monroe are getting along well; she asks him to consider being the subject of the Crimson ‘Real Men’ issue, which they are planning to do after this ‘Real Women’ issue.  But when Maxie asks about the little scar, he tells her he thinks they are done here.  Maxie walks into the evidence room to find Dante and Nathan in a serious conversation; Dante tells her that he was just telling Nathan that he and Lulu are back together.  She says “yay” and hugs him.

As the will-reading starts, a video is played.  It starts with her explaining that she had kidnapped Robin to try to make herself immortal; the tape is just a precaution in case it doesn’t work.  She is leaving these gifts to ‘live on’ through all of them.  She begins with Samantha Morgan May McCall; she leaves one cent (because that’s all any child of Alexis is worth).  Alexis is next; formerly known as Natasha, daughter of the whore of Nikos… with instructions to play a certain opera tape, she leaves her a lockbox (inside of it is a dagger and case – the one used to slit her mother’s throat).   Next, Helena says, “my dear sweet Elizabeth”…  apologizing for taking Jake and keeping him all those years, she leaves Elizabeth a leather-bound book; “Jake’s Adventure”.  Elizabeth, rattled, leaves and says she has to get to work and be near the psychiatric help she’ll need when she reads that.  For Nicolas, she says, who deserves NOTHING, she leaves a portrait.  Nicolas seems shaken by it; says he’ll put it up in the den and throw darts at it.  Now for Lulu, Lesli Lou… who has done the most for her, more than she’ll ever know, Helena leaves an empty envelope (tells her to remember what she said).  Finally, to Laura, who had the greatest impact on her life, Helena leaves a small box with a key in it; a key to what she had loved and lost (Nikos?) – everyone is confused.  Lulu tells her she should just throw it away; Nicolas asks Laura if she is going to pursue this.

Thursday 03-10-2016

Nicolas and Laura prepare for Helena’s will-reading… Sam comes to the door (Hayden confronts her).  Carly tells Jason that he was always a “kind, loyal, fiercely protective and honest” man, even when he worked for Sonny.  Jason, having walked Carly to her car, is still in the vault (good place to think, he said).  Dillon wants to talk to Dr. Monroe again; Monroe has something to tell Ana, but gets called back to the hospital.  Sam insists on speaking to Nicolas; Hayden is not happy.  Asshole Mayes refuses to have Monroe consult on Tracy’s case; Monroe calls him out for his arrogance.  Sam tries to convince Nicolas to move forward with the investigation; he claims it was a mistake in the first place, and tells her to back off once and for all.  Laura and Hayden discuss The Great Gatsby plot; a woman who seduces a man and leaves him to pay for her crimes in the end.  A great love story, huh?  Says she won’t let that happen to her son.
 
Monica gets a call from home; finds Jason in the crypt and says she’s glad he took the plaque down. Ana meets with Andre and asks what he knows about Dr. Monroe.  She feels like maybe she has met him before.  Tracy is prepared for surgery.  Mayes gets pissed off at Dillon and tells him he needs to pick a doctor (not his place to do).  Dillon tells the doctor to do his job and let him talk to Dr. Monroe, putting him in his place.  Felix shows Michael a picture of Sabrina and tells him she is happy.  Michael asks his dad to keep him in the loop if he finds anything out; Sonny tells him he better let him know if Sabrina contacts him.  Of course, he says.  Jason asks Monica if it would be weird for him to keep the plaque; Monica says not at all, it’s life-affirming.  He recalls something Lila told him… “the heart has a long memory”.  Sam gets a text from Jason to meet him at the Metro Court; she tells him she’s on her way, and calls Spenelli.
 
Ana says she could never have met Monroe before, but there is something familiar about him; meanwhile, Dr. Monroe is talking with Dillon about his suspicions.  It has something to do with Tracy having been in Mexico recently, but he can’t really say.  Without being able to see Tracy’s test results, Brad tells Dr. Monroe he may be able to help him.  He tells Griffin that he is in charge of the lab there, and you know, sometimes things get disorganized; results get lost for a while – introduces himself and says, Griffin isn’t the first one to have ‘a new hole ripped’ by Mayes.  Jason invites her to come with him to see his new place; she tells him she can’t because she has to go back for the reading of Helena’s will.  Jason leaves his plaque and when Sam goes to grab it she cuts her finger somehow (they made this appear to be a big deal).

Wednesday 03-09-2016

Morgan has been admitted to a mental hospital; Jason tells Carly he’s leaving, the hotel (getting his own place).  Dr. Monroe expresses an interest in Ana, but not romantically he says.  Tracy misses her biopsy appointment – she is in the family crypt, having a conversation with her dead family members.  Paul catches Ana offguard, telling her he still cares – she tells him to call her when he hears from Carlos.  Dillon finds Tracy in the crypt, looking confused; she has another seizure.  Ana is on the phone with someone, looking at a picture of Carlos and Sabrina, holding the baby (so I guess he lived).  Sonny comes to her door.  He thanks her for her concern and warning, but questions why she cares… she claims its because of Robin.  He finds the pic of Carlos and Sabrina and asks her about it.  She comes clean.  Jason and Carly talk; she tells him she doesn’t want him working for Sonny.  Monica and Dr. Monroe look at Tracy’s MRI; Dillon brings Tracy in… her doctor (asshold, Mayes) gets upset with Dr. Monroe for talking to Dillon. 

Sonny vows to hunt Carlos down and kill him; Carly refreshes Jason’s memory about their first meeting and his relationship with his family at that time.  Carlos calls Paul; Paul tells him that he should come back to town… offers him immunity.  Carlos says there is no way in hell he is every coming back.  Ana tells Sonny she is really after Julian and just asks him to keep her informed; says she will do the same.  Carly tells Jason about his grandmother Lila, Morgan was her maiden name… takes him to the crypt to ‘introduce’ him to the family.  He tells her he may not know what the future holds, but he is not going backwards; he takes down his headstone plaque.  Dr. Monroe shows up at Ana’s door and tells her he has been following her.

Tuesday 03-08-2016

Paul tells Ana his admiration for her grows more daily – she replies that she still can’t trust him as far as she can throw him.  He argues that they have built something… they are partners; she reminds him that her only aim is finding Carlos and bringing him back to testify against Julian.  He says there might be another way.  Nicolas tells Sam he wants to drop the investigation, just when she thinks she has a lead; Hayden sees Baxter Corbin talking to Sam and gets upset (heads straight to another bar for a drink).  She runs into her ‘friend’ Curtis, who questions what she’s running away from.  Lulu and Dante start to make out; they lay down on the bed and she immediately freaks out again (just can’t do it there).  They talk.  They decide they want to do whatever it takes to fix things; Dante says they can sell the loft and buy a house, burn the bed… anything.  They decide to get counseling.  She leaves.

Jordan talks to Andre about Paul; she’s upset about the way he handled things, putting other people’s lives in danger.  Curtis comes to confront Jordan (not sure exactly about what); tells her to keep her mouth shut and so will he.  Hmmm.  Ana figures out that Paul helped Carlos and Sabrina get away; says he better start being honest with her if they are going to work together.  Hayden overhears Nicolas and Elizabeth talk about him investigating her and confronts them; he admits to her that he was, but told Sam to drop it.  She isn’t mad.  Elizabeth tells Sam that she needs to keep investigating, for Nicolas’ own good, and Spencer’s sake.

Monday 03-07-2016

Lulu comes to tell Dante that she still loves him; he gets a call and has to leave (possible sighting of the guy who tried to drown her)… he asks her to wait, she says she’ll be there.  When he comes home, she kisses him, tells him she wants to try again; they agree the divorce doesn’t matter.  Sonny asks Carly again if she is going to leave him.  After a lengthy explanation about how much she hates the violence, etc., she tells him she is not giving up this time – what would be the use?  They both know they would just end up together again down the road.

Tracy’s doctor tells her there are several lesions in her brain, large ones, that may be more than a tumor – possibly cancer.  He is scheduling a biopsy to see if its malignant.  She insists on checking herself out until the biopsy is scheduled.  Sam meets with Baxter Corbin; pretends she has an inheritance to spend ($10 million, plus assets) and wants to invest.  She tells him her friend ‘Rachael’ highly recommended him as a financial advisor but he claims not to know her.  Hayden gives Nicolas a first edition copy of The Great Gatsby, signed “to my Gatsby, love your Daisy”.

Friday 03-04-2016

Carly insists that there is no way they can give Morgan care he needs at home; Sonny is against having him committed though.  (He may change his mind once he sees how Morgan is acting again.)  Dante stops by to see Nathan... he got his divorce papers in the mail and tells Nathan Lulu turned down his offer to move back in with him; thinks maybe she doesn't want to fix things after all.  Ava begs Kiki to wake up - to come back to her.  Julian comes in to see her.

Morgan seems manic again; still cuffed to the bed, he wants to get up.  Dr. Maddox (Andre) tells him they can't uncuff him because he is not quite himself yet.  Diane comes back in; she tells Morgan, Sonny and Carly that the DA (Paul Hornsby) will not let Morgan go home - it's commitment or a court hearing.  Morgan says he wants a jury trial.  Maxie and Lulu talk; she got her papers too... Maxie tells her to tear them up and go home.  Sonny concedes... he tells Morgan he is going to have to go to the psychiatric hospital.  Diane tells him she will not argue for his release since the doctors and parents agree; he begs her not to commit him.  He argues Sonny never went to one; but Carly tells him she did... Morgan tells them both to leave and asks if he can see Kiki.

Ava agrees to let Morgan see Kiki; she says maybe he can reach her, because for whatever reason, Kiki loves him beyond comprehension.  Lulu shows up at Dante's door.  Sonny and Carly talk about his deception; he asks her if she is going to leave him again.  Morgan kisses Kiki goodbye and leaves the room; Kiki starts to wake up and calls his name.

Thursday 03-03-2016

Morgan feels like a prisoner; he thinks everyone has abandoned him.  Michael confronts him about trying to kill himself and he denies it, saying he was just up there to get some air.  Sonny is making plans for Avery to stay for good.   Franco tells Nina that he got an interesting phone call from an adoption agency… and it didn’t make him happy.  He tells her no adoption agency is ever going to give them a baby – they are never getting one.  Nina and Maxie talk after he leaves; Nina admits that she has never had any female friends in her life – Maxie says “you have me.”  Same and Jason wake up on the couch together, all giggly.  Elizabeth is at the door; just letting Jason know Jake is being discharged.

Michael reminds Morgan that he is still facing prison time for trying to shoot Dixon; Diane goes over the case with Sonny and Carly.  She tells them they would have to assume guardianship of Morgan in order to keep him out of prison.  Carly says she can’t go along with that; she thinks they need to commit him to a psychiatric hospital.  Morgan swears he is going to make everyone proud – Diane comes in to talk to him about his case.  He agrees to her plan.  Franco buys Jake a new bike, which doesn’t make Jason real happy.

Maxie tells Nina that it is obvious Franco doesn’t want a baby; Nina says she can talk him into it… but then repeats that no adoption agency is going to give them a baby.  Maxie suggest she get an attorney to do a private adoption; then says maybe Nina should actually get a second opinion about her own fertility, since it was her cousin, Britt, that told her she was infertile. 

Wednesday 03-02-2016

Maxie brings Nathan home to find Nina there... she has 'moved in' to help take care of Nathan.  Maxie does not look happy about it.  Sonny is in the chapel praying for Morgan; Dante comes in and tells him Ava has been given immunity.  They discuss Ava, Avery and Sonny's deception... Dante leaves. Tracy is ready to hear the news about her condition; she makes two or three guesses about what it might be, to each of which the doctor responds, (which is just silly because a doctor is not going to stand there and let you 'guess' what is wrong with you)... he, finally, tells her there are several large lesions in her brain - and he is not sure what they are; he wants to do an MRI.  In a very cold and uncaring manner, he then tells her that it may not be operable. 

Dillon tries to get in to see Tracy; he is detained at the door.  Nathan sweetly tells Nina that she cannot stay there - she understands - almost blows his lie, mentioning their dog "Mittens"... then Olbrecht shows up.  Sam and Jason talk; she tells him she is learning to trust the person he is now.  Together, they read Danny a bedtime story and Jason carries him to bed.  Back in the chapel, Ava is now sitting with Sonny.  They are being surprisingly civil to each other.  The nanny comes into the chapel and tells Ava she has an emergency and has to go home; she hands Avery to Ava and leaves.  Ava allows Sonny to take Avery home, for now, so that she can stay in the hospital with Kiki.  Nathan tells Olbrecht that he is lying to Maxie; she says she "is well aware of why Claudette is a subject best avoided."  Tracy lies to Dillon about the cause of her seizures, telling him it is from stopping anti-depressant medication too abruptly.

Tuesday 03-01-2016

Alexis and Julian wake up in their hotel room (Sam's gift), now lightheartedly discussing the events at their wedding.  Franco waits with Ava while Kiki is in the recovery room after surgery.  Nicolas asks Sam about the investigation on Hayden; Baxter Corbin just happens to call at that moment... Sam sets up a meeting with him.  Tracy is now in the hospital; she's not happy - for some reason, doesn't like Dr. Monroe (even though he basically saved her at the cafĂ©).  Thinks he's too young.  She demands the Chief of Neurosurgery (that staunchy old fart that Sonny didn't want to treat him); he comes in to introduce himself.  She seems to like him.  Figures.  Dillon and Hayden both describe her 'blank moments' to the doctor - she kicks them both out of the room.

Franco is now sitting with Kiki while Ava talks to Paul; she cries about Kiki, then Paul tells her she has immunity as to the gun smuggling operation - but, reminds her that he still has the tape of her confessing to killing Connie.  Alexis and Julian have not gotten out of bed this whole show.  Jake video-calls Franco; Franco thanks him for the picture.  Elizabeth is surprised to see Sam when she shows up with Danny to visit Jake; Jason tells Elizabeth he asked her to come.

Monday 02-29-2016

Who's Claudette, Maxie asks Nathan when he wakes up; he convinces her (for the time being) that it was a dog he had when he was a child - a French Poodle.  This is a lie, of course.  Alexis and Julian discuss the events of their wedding.  Elizabeth and Jason get news from the doctor about Jake's surgery and expected recovery.  (They are still plugging Shriner's as much as possible.)  Sam gives Alexis and Julian a gift certificate for an overnight stay at the Metro Court.  Hayden finds Tracy sitting, frozen again; Tracy gets mad when she asks if she's ok.  Update on Kiki is critical, but stable.  Felicia shows up; she and Ana talk about Paul; is he a good guy, or a bad guy?

Felicia comes in to visit Nathan; she brings him a little stuffed French Poodle (a reminder of 'Claudette'), obviously at Maxie's request.  Nicolas brings Elizabeth's kids to visit Jake at Shriner's.  Hmmm, Tracy touched on a nerve with Hayden... who is her father?  Hayden became very defensive when Tracy brought him up.  Andre tells Ana that she needs to sleep for about two days straight; reminds her that she is only human (they hold hands).  Julian comes to the hospital to see Kiki.  Doctor says she has a long road ahead of her; maybe some paralysis.  While Hayden is still talking to Tracy, Tracy freezes again, mid-sentence; then, she starts seizing.  Dr. Monroe happens to be there and takes care of her.  She is sent to the hospital.  Jason asks Sam to bring Danny to visit Jake.

Friday 02-26-2016

Oh Lord… this episode opens with Olbrecht (Chief of Staff) singing in German to her son Nathan, who she calls James.  Morgan is teetering on the edge of the building; Dr. Monroe hesitates to tell Ava anything.  Kiki appears on the roof, and calls out to Morgan.  He sees blood on her hospital gown, she starts to cry out in pain… then stops; she’s holding the bullet in her hand and asks him “did you do this to me?”  Dr. Monroe tells Ava that Kiki is fine, she’s in recovery; she may have some limited mobility.  Morgan now has blood on his shirt; Kiki tells him he’s sick – Morgan says no one can help him… she says she can, the only way to fix it is to end it.  She gets up on the ledge with him and takes his hand.  (This is all in his head, of course.)

Jordan tells Paul that she got a judge to sign a warrant for Ava’s arrest; tells Paul that she knows he knows more than he’s telling and Ava is going to spill when threatened with jail time.  Paul tells her this is bigger than she knows; she can’t arrest Ava.  She says “watch me”.  I like the attitude.  Nina arrives at the hospital to see Franco hugging Ava.  Carly and Sonny are kind of fighting; she knows it’s not really his fault, but she realizes that the business he’s in is why Kiki’s blood is on her hands.  Imaginary Kiki tells Morgan he doesn’t have to be afraid – with one step, he can end all of their suffering and be at peace, with her.  He takes a step… just as Michael walks out the door and sees him.  Nina gives Ava Kiki’s jewelry which she had for some reason; Paul comes in to offer his apologies to Ava and she says she’s gonna kill him.  Carly has flashbacks while washing off Kiki’s blood from her hands; scrubs them frantically.  Imaginary Kiki tells Morgan to tell Michael to go “he’ll ruin our plan”.  Michael tells Morgan Kiki is still in surgery – imaginary Kiki disappears.  Morgan tells him to go away… he doesn’t want an audience.  Michael refuses to leave; Dr. Maddox comes out and asks Morgan what’s going on.  He tells him he is going to kill himself.  Says he went off the pills because he wanted to prove that he could be a man… but he fell down a hole; he’s rambling.  Andre assures him that he hears him; he asks if he can think of a time before he was in that hole (a time when he was happy).  Yes, Morgan says… the holidays.  Sonny walks out onto the roof; he tells Morgan he can get out of that hole. 

Maxie surprises Nathan by proposing to him now – but he tells her no.  Ok.  The writers never want anything to be easy.  I guess Carly scrubbed her hands raw; Dr. Monroe is bandaging them (for some reason he has his shirt off…think I missed something).  She accuses him of violating his Hippocratic oath by keeping Sonny’s secret.  Jordan tells Ana she is going to arrest Paul; Ana tells her if she does, she is going to have to arrest her too.  Sonny is trying his best to talk Morgan down; he can relate.  He might be reaching him.  Oh… maybe not.  He gets up on the ledge and tells Morgan if he’s going to jump, they are jumping together.  Nathan assures Maxie that he will still be there with her, the day she decides she really wants to get married; she’s worth getting it right he says.  How sweet.  Ana talks Jordan into waiting just a few weeks, asking as a friend… to give her time to find Carlos – then she can arrest them all.  Dr. Monroe tells her he was just keeping his client’s confidence; Carly apologizes.  Sonny gets through to Morgan – tells him he’ll die anyway, of a broken heart if he loses him so either they jump together, or go back inside and spend time with their family.  Morgan gets down.  Paul gives Jordan Ava’s immunity papers; she’s been working for the justice department the whole time… she can’t be touched.  Kiki is still on a breathing machine; Ava sings to her (much better than Olbrecht) “All Through the Night”.

Morgan is in restraints; he is pissed… mad at himself more than anything.  Dr. Monroe will be operating on Kiki; he talks to Ava and Franco – Franco really loves Kiki.  He tells the doctor when he says he’s going to do everything he can for her, he better mean it.  Flash across country, to Shriner’s Hospital… Jason is talking to Monica; she tells him if it weren’t for him and Jake, she wouldn’t talk to Elizabeth ever again.  In walks Elizabeth, saying “and I wouldn’t blame you a bit” – they look surprised to see her.  Laura comes to see Lulu; Dante tells her how much he loves Lulu, that she and Rocco mean everything to him.  Lulu wakes up to hear him saying it. 

Love the way they plugging Shriner’s Hospitals for Children and all that they do for the kids and the parents (allowing parents to stay in the room for one thing).  Morgan is being impossible. Laura is now talking to Nicolas about what happened at the church; he tells her Hayen is starting to remember things about “what happened to her” last year.  Laura thinks she knows more than she is admitting; warns Nicolas to be careful.  Morgan and Michael talk about Sonny – neither one of them knew he could walk.  Morgan tells him how tough he was; he thinks he almost had it handled… next thing he knew Kiki ran in and she was covered in blood.  Hayden goes down to the dock; her ‘friend’ is there, taunts her again about who she really is, how she must feel, etc.  He figures out that Nicolas was the one who wanted her dead before.  Dr. Maddox (Andre) talks to Sonny and Carly; Jason and Elizabeth admit that they didn’t want to see that it was Jake doing all those things in the house.  They didn’t see how much pain he was in; Jason reminds Elizabeth that they were friends before they were lovers, and he’s willing to bet they can be friends again.  They agree to move past it, although Elizabeth says she is having a difficult time forgiving herself. 

Morgan sends Michael to get him something to eat.  Morgan talks a nurse into letting him out of the restraints “to go relieve himself”… (they wouldn’t really do that).  Ava has decided that Kiki is paying for her sins; Morgan confronts Ava – Ava lashes out at him.  Dr. Monroe sends out a nurse to update them about Kiki.  Removing the bullet is more difficult than they anticipated (so Kiki might be paralyzed, if she doesn’t die on the table).  Hayden admits that she knows it was Nicolas who tried to have her shot; but she trusts he won’t do it again.  She claims she really loves him; he tells her to keep his number in case she needs a bodyguard.  Dr. comes out to tell Dante he is going to release Lulu- she’s fine, he can take her home… he smiles.  Ava is reminiscing about Kiki; angry that she risked her life for Morgan.  Jason gets a text from Sam; “I miss you”. 

Hayden shows up at the hospital… funny – when they hug, they show both of their faces; each of them looks very uncertain.  Dante tells Lulu they still have a lot to talk about but he would like it if she and Rocco come home with him; Lulu tells him “I’m sorry”… says she’ll be more comfortable at Windamere, for now.  (I guess they want to drag this out.)  Franco tells Michael Morgan was there, but he thinks he went back to his room; Ava and Franco actually pray together – Dr. Monroe comes out to talk to them.  Morgan is on the roof; looks like he’s thinking about jumping.
