The shadows in the window, kissing, now drop to the floor; Morgan hears a female groan… he grabs an ice hook off of a tool rack and thrusts it into the door of the shed where he believes Kiki and Dillon are about to make love; he goes back to the floating rib, where he tells Nelle he just found out his girlfriend is cheating on him.  It turns out to be Olivia and Ned; they are out of breath and discuss how good they are together.  They kiss some more; they have sex again.  Olivia gets up to make sure the door is locked (after all this time) and finds it unlocked; when she opens it, she finds the ice hook.  She thinks somebody is sending them a message; she says this is Julian’s way of threatening them.  Ned determines that he is going to talk to Julian right now; Julian is unimpressed.  He denies any knowledge of the hook, says he really could care less that they are seeing each other, but tells them if they try to keep his son from him they will have to worry.

Morgan pulls out his pills, and orders a glass of water then tells Nelle he is tired of taking them because they are not working anyway; he says he can’t drink so he can’t be “normal” – Nelle lifts her glass and offers a toast, saying she can’t drink either; she asks him if he thinks she’s not normal.  He tries to kiss her, to which she objects promptly and sets him straight that it was not an invitation to kiss her.  Anna has lunch with Griffin; they talk about Emma (Anna Skyped with her this morning).  Griffin finds it sad that a little girl like that has to know such evil exists; he then mentions how he can’t believe Julian went free.  

Griffin says, he tries to tell himself it’s all part of God’s plan, but it’s not helping; in fact, he admits, he feels hatred and he does not like the feeling but he can’t get rid of it.  It’s not very Christian, he adds; Anna touches his hand and tells him, no, but it’s human.  Morgan keeps postponing the taking of his pills, while Kiki is at Dillons, helping him go through photos for the magazine.  Kiki tells Dillon he’s not alone; she knows what it’s like to know that your parent has done some horrible, horrific thing… but they are not responsible for it.  He says it helps knowing at least she understands.  They reminisce about the night of the Nurses Ball; their first kiss.  They end up kissing again.  Morgan throws his pills in the garbage once more and orders his regular (alcoholic) drink at the bar.  

Julian walks into Alexis’ house, uninvited; she screams and grabs the phone, saying she is going to call the cops.  Julian says she doesn’t need to… he just came to get his last box.  I guess she allows him to, because he is about to walk out the door when Anna arrives; she tells him it’s a surprise to see him there, of all places.  He says they are both free; she says that’s just a matter of time.  People are going to figure out all of his lies and he will eventually pay.  He excuses himself promptly; Anna asks to talk to Alexis.  Alexis tells her she is tired, she can’t talk long; Anna questions her behavior on the witness stand (and notes that she has been drinking at this time as well); Alexis breaks down and admits that it is all her fault that Julian is out there running around right now.  Anna agrees.  She tells Alexis she cannot let him in here again; reminds her it’s a violation of the restraining order, to which she is a witness.  

Sonny goes to the church, to speak with God… the priest welcomes him, asking if he’s there for confession.  Sonny says no thanks; he just wants to be alone; he proceeds to talk about having to do something about Julian and knowing God understands why.  Sonny hears someone else at the door; it’s Grffin.  He asks if he was listening…for a second, Griffin replies – sounds like they are both there for the same reason; he came to pray for guidance, he says and for humility.  Sonny asks why.  Griffin says, if he can accept the fact that he may not ever have all the answers, he calls it Grace.  He asks what Sonny wants God to do.  

Sonny says he doesn't want anything from God.  He says he knows God doesn’t approve of what he does, but He sees his heart and knows his intention.  He adds that he only does it for good, where Julian hurt good people.  Griffin tells Sonny he is with him on this one; he also wants vengeance, but he asks Sonny what gives him the right to be the one to deliver it.  Sonny explains that he lives in a world, where someone can come after you, or people you love, ..and well, you have to protect them.  He tells Griffin that God doesn’t really deliver; He just talks a really good game.  Griffin sits quietly for a while, but then gets angry and makes the suggestion that maybe Sonny doesn’t believe in God at all.  Sonny sits, stone faced.
