01-31-2017 (Tuesday) Franco Saves the Day!

Jason rips off his blood pressure cuff and starts getting out of bed; Felix ask where he thinks he’s going.  Jason says home; Sam walks in and asks why he didn’t tell her he was in the hospital.  He tells her it wasn’t that big of a deal; she asks again why he is there…he says, “your dad drugged me.”  She is pissed, but Jason tells her he doesn’t think he meant to really hurt him; he thinks he was just trying to appease his ‘boss.’  He tells her that Julian seemed genuinely afraid for her and for Danny; he wants her and Danny to go to the safe house.  She begs him not to make her go; she asks about the woman – he says he needs to make her think he’s given up.  Sonny questions Ava when she brings Avery home; he swears she doesn’t know anything about who is controlling Julian, only knows his driver, Pete, and Buz, and a guy named ‘Hammer.’  Sonny asks about other relatives; she says no, all of their siblings are dead.  Jason calls Sonny and asks if there is any way he could come see him because he needs his friend right now.

Nina and Valentine talk now, outside; Nina questions him about Anna.  He says he just didn’t want to drudge up the past; he tells her he and Anna were in school together, at the WSB – she thinks he means that he was also a spy.  He tells her no, and apologizes for disappointing her; she says she’s just confused.  He explains he was a designated desk agent, claiming they just didn’t feel he was capable of being in the field.  He says he was different then; she asks how.  He tells her he had scoliosis and was distorted, hunchback.  He describes all of his horrible deformities, how much it hurt, and the pity and revulsion he got from people.  So he said he hid away in the library, until Anna changed everything.  He explains Anna was the one person who never pitied him; he says they were friends, until he tried to kiss her one-day.  He could tell she was disgusted.  She tells him there are some really horrible, ugly people that are beautiful on the outside, and thanks him for telling her all of that.  They kiss; she says she has to run an errand and leaves him standing there.

Anna is home; Lulu and Laura show up, saying they need to talk to her about Valentine.  They ask if there is anything she found that would help her get her daughter away from Valentine.  She tells them, nothing that was damning; just that she actually knew him years ago.  She tells them he was using a different name; Lulu asks if that was illegal – Anna says it could have been a legal name change.  She says there was goodness in him; and she has seen that goodness with Charlotte.  Anna suggests maybe Lulu should agree to shared custody for now; Laura adds that would give her a change to build her relationship with Charlotte while they continue to build a case against Valentine.  Lulu leaves and Laura tells Anna that she senses there is something she isn’t telling her; Anna tells her there is something she still doesn’t remember.  Laura says he if hurts her daughter, she will kill him.  Anna sits back down to her computer; she finds a picture of what he used to look like.  Nina shows up at her door.  Lulu finds Valentine back at the Floating Rib; she sits down and tells him they need to talk about their daughter.

Dante tells Alexis that she is free to go home; she is relieved, but still stressed.  Diane claims she has nothing more to worry about; she can go to the bar with a clear conscience.  Alexis is still frazzled; Julian shows up to talk to her.  She tells him that she told Dante everything about the night Baker died, but she remembers she didn’t kill Tom – she says she is still going to tell him about the hit and run.  Julian doesn’t want her to and she wonders why, asking if he just wants to keep leverage over her or what.  He claims not, he says he just wants to support her, because he cares about her, even if it can only be as a friend.  Diane comes out to say it’s time to go get her license back.  Alexis says she wants to tell the board that she is not yet ready to get her license back; Diane is shocked.

Franco tells the nurse that he needs to talk to the police right now; she doesn’t take him too seriously, but eventually goes.  Felix comes back to find Franco missing.  Tom’s brother tells Elizabeth he can’t let her leave, until he tells her the truth.  He says he and his mother have been dragged through the mud so many times; he can’t go through that again.  He mentions seeing Tom attack a woman in the ally, which catches Elizabeth off-guard… she questions the statement.  He describes Alexis’ encounter with Tom; he says he saw him for the first time, as a predator.  He admits to picking up the knife and stabbing his brother; she tells him that he doesn’t deserve to be prosecuted for that – he was defending Alexis, and her and Kiki.  He says maybe not, but he will be prosecuted for what he did to Franco.  .  Liz asks what he did to Franco; he admits beating him up, kicking him and leaving him in a locker.  He says it’s over for him; he steps toward her.  She begs him to just let her call the police; at that moment, Franco bursts through the door.  He punches the brother, then asks what he was going to do to Elizabeth; he says he doesn’t know.  He admits to Franco that he killed Tom; he adds that he doesn’t know if he would have come back for him or not.  Franco grabs him by the throat; he tells Franco to go ahead, saying he deserves it.  Franco releases his grip, just as the police burst in the door; Liz assures them Franco came to save her, which he did.  Dante asks them to come into the station; Liz insists that he needs medical care and has to go to the hospital.  Nathan arrests Tom’s brother, who has confessed now to his brother’s murder; Franco and Elizabeth stop in the doorway to kiss.
