Nathan and Maxie come home
to find Lulu and boxes stacked up in their apartment; she says she was just
putting wedding gifts away and getting ready to throw the boxes out. They tell her the news about Claudette. Lulu tells them she can think of dozens of
reasons that Claudette might have wanted to kill herself, but she believes she
may have been murdered…by Valentin.
Lulu says she has to get Charlotte away from him; Nathan gets a call
from work. Maxie asks Lulu what she is
thinking of doing; she says she doesn’t know.
Maxie thinks she does, but just hasn’t decided how yet. Lulu tries to change the subject, saying now
that they know Claudette is dead, they can get married; Maxie says, no, they
can’t. Lulu is confused. Maxie tells her whether Nathan has feelings
for Claudette still or not, she has to give him time to process this; she says
for a lot of reasons, the wedding just isn’t going to work right now. Lulu tells her she is being really amazing
about all of this; Maxie says the hardest thing is that they can’t set a date
for their wedding now with everything in limbo. Nathan comes back out and tells Maxie he has to go into work; she
says she will go to and asks him to wait just a minute. She leaves the room; Nathan makes a call,
asking someone for a favor.
Elizabeth runs into Laura as she is getting off duty; she congratulates Laura on her new position with the hospital board. Laura asks if Liz has seen Franco; Liz tells her she went to see him yesterday, but he wasn’t there. She is disappointed that he hasn’t tried to contact her, recalling him telling her that maybe it’s best if they don’t see each other until this is all over. She says he is staying true to his word. She worries that Franco is going to be arrested and she feels like she needs to stand by his side; she thanks Laura for listening.
Franco gets a knock on his studio door; it is Dante and Jordan, serving a search warrant. He questions what gave them the right to get a search warrant; Jordan shows him a picture of the murder weapon and asks if he recognizes it. He says yes. He tells them to knock themselves out and he leaves. Jordan admires Franco’s picture of Elizabeth; she says it’s hard to imagine that someone who created that could be capable of murder. Dante finds Franco’s self-portrait and asks, “how about someone who painted this?” Scotty and Franco meet at the roadhouse again; he tells Scotty that the police are tossing his studio as they speak. Scotty asks if they are going to find anything. Franco says, maybe, but it would all be circumstantial. Scotty implores Franco to go to the authorities and tell them that he thinks Alexis COULD BE the killer.
Elizabeth knocks on the door of Franco’s studio and then walks in to find Dante and Jordan search the place; she says she is going to call Scott. They tell her Franco knows they are there. She turns and sees the dog cage, then says she needs to get home; they ask her what is wrong. She says nothing; Jordan accuses her of lying. Jordan tells Dante she wants to take the dog kennel into the station for testing; Liz insists she knows nothing and leaves. Jordan then finds a receipt for a knife, just like the one used to kill Tom Baker; she says, “we got him.” Franco tells Scotty that he might just leave town; Scott begs him no to, admitting that he would miss him, mostly though, he says, because it would make him look even more guilty. He asks exactly what they are going to find at his studio; Franco says he never got rid of the dog cage. Scotty says great, and tells Franco to call him if he gets arrested. Franco leaves the roadhouse and starts to make a call to Elizabeth; someone hits him on the back of the head, and he falls to the ground unconscious.
Alexis wakes up with her head on Julian’s lap, on the couch; she gets up with a start, telling him not to touch her again. He asks if she remembers admitting that she needs help; she says no, that’s changed. She picks up the phone and says she is calling the police to turn herself in; he takes the phone from her and tells her she is not in any condition to be making that kind of a decision. She agrees to go to a meeting and get help; Julian tells her he is there if she needs him… she rolls her eyes, saying she knows where he is. She starts to go upstairs, then turns around and tells him thank you. She comes back down and says she found a meeting at General Hospital; he offers to go with her, but she declines his offer and leaves. He makes a phone call, saying, “do it, now.” The bartender from the roadhouse shows up to talk to Julian; Julian shows him Alexis’ picture and asks if he knows her. He says yes; Julian corrects him, saying, “no, you don’t.” He tells Julian this lady he doesn’t know was in his bar, ran out on her tab, but has come back to pay it off; Julian’s assistant, “Chad” grabs the man’s arms from behind and bends him over. Julian tells the man, this woman never came into his bar, and asks if he has made himself clear; the man says yes, very clear. He lets him go; Julian tells Chad to keep an eye on the man, and make sure he understands. Alexis briefly talks to Laura before going into the meeting at the hospital; Laura says they could use some advice on how to combat Valintin. Alexis says she doesn’t know what to tell her; she apologizes and goes into the meeting and sits down. The leader asks if anyone wants to introduce themselves; Alexis stands up, admitting that she is an alcoholic. Julian gets a call and tells the caller, “well done.”
Anna meets Valentin at the Metro Court; she shows him the photograph and asks him how he got it. He claims he doesn’t even remember having the picture and didn’t even know he had lost it, until she told him. She wants to know how he got that picture of her. He laughs at her theory, that they were in the WSB together, but admits to being in her room on her birthday the night that picture was taken. She says she is surprised that he admits that; he says so is he. She asks him what went down that night; he can’t believe she doesn’t remember. She says she is still piecing it all together. She tells him to stop playing games; he says she’s the one playing games, showing up with a photograph her granddaughter innocently stole. He gives her the photo back and says maybe it will jog her memory; she asks why he doesn’t just tell her what happened on the other side of that door. He tells her to figure it out; he tells her maybe it’s not what he did to her… maybe it’s what she did to him, and he leaves
