02-24-2017 (Friday) The Empty Crypt

Curtis and Jason break into Olivia Jerome’s crypt; they pull back the stone lid and find the box empty.  Jason realizes Olivia Jerome was never dead!  Hayden is still looking for Finn; he talks to Roxy, telling her he has eight texts from Hayden and has a lot of explaining to do.  She finds him in his room; says she called the desk clerk and they told her he got in last night.  She searches his room, while she chews him out; she finds his pouch in the fridge and asks why he is still taking Zen-zen.  He admits it’s been hard to stop; she says she is going to get him help. He asks her to give him three days; if he can’t quit by then, he says he will go to rehab.  Hayden says she can’t watch him shoot up again; he tells her that he needs her more than anything in the world.  He tells her he loves her.  She thinks he’s just saying it to get her to back off; she says she isn’t going to fall for it and heads for the door.  She tells him to text, if he survives.

Anna wakes up in the hospital; she complains to Robin about the staff coming in and out so often, saying it makes it hard to rest.  For some reason, Robin decides to ask the guard outside her door to take a walk with her – and at the same time, Olivia Jerome steps off the elevator.  She uses a fake accent to ask the desk clerk a question; then hears him telling someone on the phone, Anna’s room number.  She pulls out a knife as she enters Anna’s room; before she steps all the way in, she hears Robin and the guard coming back.  The guard tells Robin to get him an update on her condition and he’ll try to get the desk Sergeant to agree to keep her here.  Robin announces to her mom that she is pregnant again.  Olivia says, to herself, that she will kill Anna eventually; mental health depends on setting goals, she says.

Nina and Valentin are having dinner at the Floating Rib; Dante comes by the table and says he needs to talk to them about the break in.  Valentin says he didn’t file a complaint; Nina says she did.  He gets angry with her for not talking to him about this first; she accuses him of having feelings for Anna.  He tells Dante they want to drop the charges, then goes to see Anna and tells her she owes him more than she knows.  Alexis finds Laura waiting for Lulu to join her at a table, at the Floating Rib…she wants to make amends.  Laura tells her she doesn’t think she qualifies as someone Alexis hurt; Alexis explains that she was drinking while handling the estate and although everything was valid, she apologizes for not providing competent representation.  Alexis leaves, and Regg happens by her table ‘accidentally’ knocking her purse off onto the floor; he apologizes, and Laura says it’s fine.  As she’s picking everything up, he pours something from a little vial into her coffee; he makes sure she drinks it before taking off.  Rudg calls Olivia and says he has an update; Laura starts to feel the effects of whatever Rudg put in her coffee.  She passes out cold as soon as she parks; Olivia instructs Rudg to take her for a nice, long ride.

Sam wakes up at the bottom of the spillway; she seems pretty hurt, but coherent… she talks to her baby, and is relieved when she feels it move.  She starts to climb up the slanted wall, but falls when she is halfway up, sliding back down to the bottom, holding her stomach in pain.  Sam tells the baby not to worry; she says ‘daddy’ is going to come for them real soon.  She passes out.
