03-01-2017 (Wednesday) Sam and Scout are Safe

Olivia gets a call from her man on the board; he tells her that the staff managed to save the hospital.  She is pissed; she grabs a knife and tells Julian she blames him.  She says she wants to gut him like a fish, then throws the knife down and says she has to stay on track though; Julian asks her what he can do to help.  She tells him it is not the building she was wanting, it’s “what lies beneath.”  Curtis comes into Jordan’s office; Alexis is right behind.  They tell Jordan that the person responsible for killing Morgan is Julian’s older sister; she is stunned.  Alexis explains that Sam is missing; and tells Jordan how she knows “Liv,” who has been masquerading as her AA sponsor.   Jordan tells Alexis to call Liv; they say she may not realize they are on to her… Olivia sees Alexis call and immediately figures she has found her out.  She doesn’t answer; Alexis leaves a voicemail and calls right back.  Liv decides to answer; Alexis tells her she needs her help.  Liv tells her she can’t meet her right now and suggests she find a meeting; she hangs up and tells Julian that she is on to them.  Alexis said she was in front of a liquor store, but there was no traffic, no noise; the police manage to track the call and head to Olivia’s apartment.  She and Julian are gone.

Elizabeth gets called back into work; Monica explains that they saved the hospital.  Franco drives her in and asks when he starts; Monica tells him probably never.  She explains that this is a purely financial decision; nothing personal… the hospital simply doesn’t have the funds to keep luxuries like art therapy going right now.  She tells Franco there is a list of other jobs that are still available; he decides to apply for one emptying bed pans, telling Liz all he wants is to be near her.  

Jason tells Sam that the baby is fine; Sam is looking over his shoulder, and faints.  She comes to after a few minutes, but tells him she just wants to go to sleep; she tells him to take the baby and get to the hospital.  He says he is not going to leave her; he makes her hold the baby and he picks them both up.  He is determined to carry them out of there.  He makes it up the wall and onto the bridge; he can hear the ambulance coming.  They get Sam and ‘Scout’ to the hospital in time; Jason wants to stay with Sam as they wheel her off, but they tell him no.  Franco tries to talk to Jason; Jason grabs him and tells him to stay out of his way.

Nelle finds Michael at the hospital and tells him that she has done a horrible thing; he tells her whatever it is they can fix it.  She says, no, “they” can’t.  Monica interrupts and congratulates him on the wonderful thing he did; Nelle inquires as to what that’s about.  He tells her how he stalled the meeting; said he’s never tap-danced like that in his life.  She says he is a wonderful person; he says so is she.  She says she’s not, and that’s why she has to go away.  She makes up a story about her friend being sick back in Atlanta, and says she’s been a horrible friend; she says she has to go be with her friend.  Michael insists on escorting her to Atlanta and says they can take the company jet; she agrees to let him but says they have to hurry.  

Carly tells Sonny to look her in the face and tell her that he slept with Nelle; she then asks why and he does his best to explain it to her.  Carly plays him the recording and he realizes Nelle was setting him up all along; he points out to Carly that means she was setting them both up.  He apologizes, saying he played right into her hands.  He points out that the flowers, with his initial on the card, could not have come from him because he isn’t that stupid.  He tells Carly that he had questioned Nelle about this mystery man of hers, and reminds Carly of the day she sent Nelle up to the room for the tax information and tells her she planted a bra in the bed.  Carly tells Sonny she believes him.  She then gets angry at him for “letting” her depend on Nelle, letting her trust Nelle, and asks why she didn’t tell him right when it happened.  She tells Sonny to leave her the hell alone and starts storming out the door; she opens it to find Nelle and Michael standing there, about to come in.
