Nelle leaves a message for
Carly; Michael comes into the Metro Court looking for his mother. Nelle tells him she is “M.I.A.” – Carly
comes down the stairs, saying something smells good. Sonny has cooked her breakfast.
She says she hasn’t had such a solid night’s sleep…they nod at each
other. Sonny asks Carly if she thinks
she made a mistake last night; she says she just wants to make sure that they
are doing the right thing… that the ground is solid before she jumps back into
their marriage. Sonny flashes to waking
up that morning with Nelle in his bed.
Carly tells him not to misunderstand her; she loves being there, in
their home, and has realized that they need to comfort each other rather than
grieving alone. But she doesn’t feel
she can just bring her stuff and move back in, because if he broke her trust in
him again, it would kill her. Sonny
tells her that won’t happen. She tells
him she needs to get into work.
Michael asks Nelle if she makes New Year’s resolutions; she says she did – she’s learning to play chess. He tells her she should resolve to have more fun this year; he practically dares her and offers to coach her. She tells him he has a deal; he says her first lesson starts tomorrow night. He walks away and she takes a deep breath. Carly arrives, smiling; Nelle says she cleared her schedule, just in case she found a way to start the New Year off right. Carly says that’s exactly what she did.
Jason is serving food at the soup kitchen. Sam comes to see him; he tells her he’s actually there for the case right now, but he thinks they should do this more after the job is done – some of these people’s stories have touched his heart. She asks if they think the guy that planted the bomb is connected to this soup kitchen; they say there’s a guy the owner hasn’t seen since the bombing. Spenelli is checking out that Chinese model boat, he tells her; and the characters that spell “reincarnation.” Sam says she is going to call her father.
Ava comes by Alexis’ to see Julian. She gives him a hard time about being there again; he reminds her that he loves Alexis. Ava asks where she is; he won’t tell her. Ava says, it must be happy hour somewhere. She sees the empty bottles and asks if that was from a party last night; he says it’s what he just dumped down the drain. Ava realizes Julian is there to save Alexis; she tells him he needs to expose her problem in order to get her to change her behavior. Helping to hide it, she says, is enabling her. Julian receives the phone call from Sam; she tells him she needs to see him. He tells her where to meet him.
Alexis sleeks in behind Franco and overhears him telling the bartender that somebody killed this man that night, and the police think it’s him. He begs the guy for help; the guy hints he might know something, for a little cash. Franco slips him a few bills; he says Tom can’t really drink but the lady-friend he was with was slamming them down. Franco asks what lady friend… he recalls she wasn’t very receptive to his hitting on her; (Alexis recalls telling him she knew who he was and what he had done) the bartender tells Franco she got up and left. He says Tom sat there and nursed his bruised ego; he swears he didn’t go after her. Franco asks if he knows who the woman was; he says he makes it a point not to know his customer’s names. He asks how old she was, what color her hair was; he says he doesn’t try to commit any of that information to memory. Franco leaves; Alexis steps out a door so he doesn’t see her.
She then approaches the bar; the bartender asks her if she wants another vodka on the rocks. She says she thought he doesn’t pay attention to his customers; he laughs. He says contrary to what he tells strangers snooping around, he knows who she is, knows her face and knows she was with Tom Baker the night he was murdered. He tells her he takes care of his customers, but she has to promise not to stiff him again; she promises she will pay him back. She tells him he doesn’t need to cover for her, since she left and Tom stayed; he leans over and says that they both know that’s not accurate. He says there’s no way Tom didn’t catch her; she was stumbling drunk and Tom was moving fast. He says Tom never came back so she owes for both their tabs; she pays. When she turns to leave, Franco is standing there. He says he didn’t peg her for the Roadhouse type; she claims she got lost and came in for directions. He is certain that’s her drink on the bar, but she denies it. Franco calls his father to come meet him at the Roadhouse. He says if they are going to prove he is innocent, they need to start there.
Sam goes to meet her father; Jason wants to come, but she says no…her father won’t talk as openly if he is there. Ava brings Julian in, but excuses herself as Julian sits down. Sam says she spoke to her mom yesterday and mentions the guy who stopped by the house (“Reg”). She says she knows they aren’t co-workers; the guy owns a pawn shop… she asks what kind of trouble he’s gotten into now. He tells her “Reg” and he have an agreement; if he finds a unique item, he gives Julian first dibs. Then he tells Sam that he needs her to back off. He tells her the more she knows, the greater the danger is to her, and the baby; he begs her to stay out of it.
As Jason and Curtis argue about whether or not this gig is getting them anywhere in the investigation, a man approaches the table and asks if it’s too late to get some food. He looks creepy; Jason and Curtis look at each other. Curtis steps forward and tells him he is welcome to have some soup; he tells Jason to get him a bowl. Curtis pretends to be a minister; he asks how the man found himself in this position… he says he looks like a mechanic. They guys says he has done some work on cars; then he gets nervous and tries to leave. Curtis sits him down and calls him “Buz.” The man asks how he knows who he is; Jason says God knows all, and sees all. They ask him who paid him to plant that bomb; he says he didn’t know it was a bomb. They guy told him it was a tracking device and gave him $50 to attach it to the car; they show a picture of Julian, but it isn’t him. They show a picture of Reg and Buz says he’s the guy the paid him, but not the one calling the shots. He says he went to see Reg after the bombing; he was there with his boss and “she’s no joke.” They are surprised to hear the boss is a woman.
Alexis is pissed off when she comes home to find that Julian has dumped all of her bottles of vodka out.
