01-27-2017 (Friday) FRANCO IS RESCUED!

Hayden and Finn arrive at the hospital together; as they step of the elevator, they are greeted by Brad, who wants to make sure his name gets put on the patent for the new drug they are developing.  Finn only cares that it get made and distributed to those who need it.  Griffin interrupts; Finn is glad and Brad is slightly annoyed.  Hayden suggests that a patent isn’t a bad idea; she says it could be good P.R. for the hospital.  Nurse Nancy bothers Hayden, as Hayden denies having anything more than a friendship with Finn; Nancy tells her she wants to be her friend.  She says she can tell they are in love; and she heard all about their almost dying together.  Hayden smiles, as if she might tell her.  She admits to “a little something” between her and Finn.  Nancy swears to be the soul of discretion (oh, yeah right); Hayden doesn’t necessarily look as if she believes her.  Brad tells Finn that he saw him getting a prescription from Griffin; he says he knows he is addicted from the Zen-zen and threatens to tell the hospital board until Finn agrees to put him on the patent.  Nurse Nancy spills the secret to Griffin first chance she gets, telling him he can’t tell anybody…because it’s a secret.  

Alexis drops her empty bottle when Dante asks about Tom Baker; she doesn’t want to talk to him, but he says if he can’t come in and talk to her, they will have to go down to the station.  She lets him in, but she refuses to answer any questions.  Diane shows up to give her good news about her hearing; she tells her she doesn’t need to hear it because she can’t go through with the hearing.  She tells Diane that she is, at least, guilty of covering up two murders.  Diane talks her into going to the hearing, but she tells Diane to go ahead and says she will meet her there.  There is something she needs to do first, she says.Tom Baker’s brother storms into the police station; he demands to know what the police have found out about his brother.  He leaves in a huff; Elizabeth follows him.  She tells him she needs his help; she wants him to clarify something he said.  She asks how he knows that Franco had locked his brother in a cage; she says that information was not released to the public.  He says his brother called him and told him what had happened; everything except the part about putting Franco in the cage before escaping.  Liz tells him that she thinks someone else killed his brother.  He tells her he is sure Franco did.

Franco ponders who could have done this to him; he tries to recall where he’d seen that trophy before.  He talks to himself, trying to recall what he does know.  He sits down against the door with a notebook and tiny pencil; he realizes he may not have much time yet – he has no food, no water, and it’s cold.  He draws a picture of Elizabeth, and writes her name on it; then starts talking to himself again about how hard he has tried for her and her boys.  He says he loves her, then lays back down on the floor and passes out.  Sam calls Kiki to tell her about Franco’s note, which she found on the floor when she went back to The Floating Rib to get her phone.  She asks her where she found the note; Kiki tells her.  Kiki wants to go with her, but Sam sternly tells her, “no.”  Sam goes to the storage units and finds Franco; he says even he doesn’t think it’s fair that she has to save his “worthless ass” but begs her not to leave him.  She tells him she isn’t going to leave him; she asks if he knows who did this… he says someone who was really good at basketball, and he points out the trophies.  Scene flashes to Elizabeth, still talking to Tom’s brother.  There are basketball trophies all over the room.
