Sorry, all... I know that I am far behind, but I'll catch back up - bare with me.

Andre comes in to pick up ribs ‘to go’ and finds Morgan sitting at the bar; he warns him again about mixing alcohol with his medication.  Morgan tells him, he is not drinking; the bottles next to him belong to the last guy, he is waiting for his food.  Andre apologizes, confirms their appointment for tomorrow, picks up his order and leaves.  Morgan orders another beer; Darby comes in.  Morgan tells her it’s her fault he got expelled because she told him to buy that paper online; she tells him he should have run it through the plagiarism filter before turning it in. Darby actually tells Morgan that she admires Kiki for hanging in there with him; she says he needs to pull it together and do right by Kiki while he still can.  

Paul tells Jordan that he is going to be pleading guilty; no conditions.  Ava thanks Paul for not turning her in, after Jordan leaves to process his new paperwork.  He tells her he didn’t do it just for her; he needs an ally on the outside.  He is keeping the flashdrive as an assurance of her loyalty; he tells her to be there for her girls right now.  She tells him that is good advice and leaves.  Michael is headed to the police station, where he almost reaches for a deputy’s gun, as Sonny grabs his arm and stops him; they talk.  Sonny leaves, and Michael still goes in to talk to Paul.  Tells him he could kill him, but he’s not going to throw his life away.  He asks why he killed Sabrina… Paul says it’s hard to explain.  He owes it to Sabrina’s son to give him an answer for the boy; Paul says to tell Teddy his mother died a hero.  Michael asks for details and Paul recounts the murder and events leading up to it; Michael says she must have fought with all her might.  Tracy comes in after Michael, and tells Paul he better not ever try to contact Dillon again; she leaves him with “I’ll be watching you.”  

Dante stops by Sonny’s but Sonny is not there; he tells Carly that he has to stop Sonny from retaliating against Julian.  She swears she knows nothing about it.  Sonny comes home and insists to Dante that he has nothing (illegal) going on; Dane does not believe him. He tells him, if it ever comes down to a choice between saving his son and taking Sonny down, he will take Sonny down.  Carly chews Dante out for accusing his father of doing illegal things; and then tells Sonny he better not have anything to do with Julian’s would-be murder.  He swears he is not pulling the trigger on Julian.  (That literal truth again, rather than complete honesty.)  Carly and Dante both roll their eyes at each other, knowing what he means.

Kiki goes to see Dillon in the shed, where he’s been looking for an old fishing rod that Paul had given him; she walks right to the closet where the rod is, and asks, “this one?” Holding the rod, he discusses his childhood and the lack of his father in it – then about his father’s reappearance in his life and how disappointing it’s been.  He breaks the rod and cuts his hand; it starts bleeding.  She bandages it for him.  Jordan tells Andre that she is resigning; she is tired of being the Police Commissioner.  When Ned comes to talk to Tracy, he tells her that they need to kill Paul.  She laughs at the idea and changes the subject; Ned tells her she has to face what Paul did to her or she won’t have any peace in her life.  Ava comes to see Kiki at work and is told that she left early, to go see Dillon Quartermaine, because of the news about his father being the killer.  Morgan shows up.  Ava, acting all innocent, lets it slip that Kiki went to comfort Dillon.  Morgan arrives at the Quartermaine mansion to see two shadow figures in the window, kissing.
