03-03-2017 (Friday) Sam Survives

Jordan questions whether Julian is Olivia’s victim or accomplice; Olivia opens her trunk in the parking garage, exposing Julian, bound and gagged.  Griffin approaches and asks if he can help with her bag; he says it looks heavy.  She quickly closes the trunk and tells him it’s just books; she’s going to see a friend, she says.  Griffin inquires as to whether she knows her way; she says she used to live there “years ago” – he tells her the hospital remodeled in 2009.  She assures him she is fine, then notices that he looks “strangely familiar” and asks him if they’ve met before.  He suggests she may have known his father, Duke Lavery; Olivia smiles.  Alexis tells Jordan about the safe deposit box; she asks if this qualifies for her to get into the box.  Jordan says she will call to see about getting a Warrant.  Monica calls Alexis to tell her about their granddaughter’s condition, which is good, and to break the news to her that Sam is in a comma now.  

Ava asks why she’s still being chained to chairs; Jordan says she needs to question her about her sister, Olivia Jerome.  Ava looks confused; she says her sister is long dead.  Jordan tells her maybe not so.  Ava inquires and says it makes sense because she didn’t have anything to do with planting the bomb and it wasn’t her Julian was talking to on the recording.  Jordan asks for information about her half-sister; she says she didn’t know her, but Julian told her she was the “worst kind of whack job,” that she wanted power but didn’t know what to do with it, that she was unstable, compulsive and obsessive (referencing Duke Lavery) and says they should talk to Anna DeVane about Olivia.  Robyn fills her mother in on Sam’s accident and her condition.  She says no matter how much doctors learn, sometimes, medicine comes down to guess-work; playing the odds and hoping you get lucky.  Anna apologizes for not considering what Robyn has been going through.  She says it can’t be easy to learn your mother has cancer, and asks how she is.  Robyn admits she is terrified, but considers herself lucky.  They talk about the children Anna lost and Anna recalls that Olivia caused the loss of Duke’s baby by rigging the crash of that elevator.  Anna tells Robyn she needs to go home and rest; Robyn makes her promise to stay in bed.  

Griffin comes in to check on Anna; she tells him she is thankful she has so much support.  Jordan comes in asking about Olivia Jerome; Oliva opens her trunk and asks Julian how come he didn’t tell her Duke had a son.  She says maybe she should cut her losses, since she’s found out she can’t trust him.  She closes the trunk, saying she has something important to do.  Robyn walks through the parking garage and sees Olivia; she can’t believe it.  Anna briefly tells Jordan about her relationship with Olivia; she says it doesn’t matter though because that woman is dead.  Jordan tells Anna that they have reason to believe Olivia Jerome may still be alive; Anna is horrified at the thought.  

Nelle tells Carly she is gotten everything she deserves; Sonny questions what Carly did to deserve this.  Nelle tells Carly her real last name is Benson; Carly says, “Oh my god, you’re Frank Benson’s daughter.”  She says, “yes…and he was your father too.”  Carly denies this, saying he was just a dead beat who walked out on her and her adoptive mother when she was three years old.  Nelle says her father was a good man, he just wasn’t very good with money after her mom died; Nelle says their father loved Carly and tried to reach out to her, writing her letter after letter.  Carly claims all he wanted was a handout; she told him, as she tells Nelle, Frank Benson meant nothing to her and she doesn’t owe him a dime.  Nelle says, “he meant nothing to you, until Joslyn got sick…and you demanded a kidney!”  Carly swears she didn’t do that; Nelle insists she called their dad and asked for a kidney, no questions asked, and he gave hers.  

Michael asks Nelle if she has any proof that his mother reached out to her father; he says without proof, it’s just his word against Carly’s.  Nelle gets angry when Sonny chimes in and says whatever she’s done, Carly did first; she recounts Carly’s arrive to Port Charles and her antiques with her mother’s husband.  She says, “what goes around comes around” and calls Carly a bitch; Carly slaps her across the face, hard.  Nelle just looks back at her, Sonny shakes his head, and Michael just stares in amazement.  Sonny tells Nelle it wasn’t Carly who screwed her over, it was her own father; he says she doesn’t want to face reality.  She says he’s the one who doesn’t want to face reality; if he had stayed with Carly, she would have just broken his heart.  Michael steps in and says he doesn’t blame her for what she was feeling, but after spending months there with them, he asks, if she didn’t question her father’s version of the story.  She just shakes her head.  Carly, tells her better women have tried to take her down.  She said she wanted to believe the girl who gave her daughter life was that sweet, that selfless; but she was wrong.  She tells Nelle the pain she caused is coming for her like a runaway truck and walks out; Sonny follows her, but Carly tells him she can barely look at him now.  Michael tells Nelle to enjoy her victory, gives her a very disappointed look and walks out; she cries.

Jason tells Sam he is afraid, like he never has been before; he says he is not strong enough to do any of this without her and begs her to open her eyes.  Nothing.  Alexis shows up to see Sam and the baby; Jason is still talking to Sam when Alexis comes in.  She tells him the police are looking for Olivia Jerome; she apologizes for her father putting Sam in danger.  Jason says he’ll let them have some time alone; Alexis kisses Sam on the head, briefly talks to her daughter and then goes to see the baby.  Jason continues to talk to Sam, recalling many of their adventures together and how much they have come through, what a fiercely protective and nurturing mother she has become.  He tells her none of this works without her; Alexis comes back in with the baby.  Jason lays the baby on Sam’s chest and puts Sam’s hand on her; Sam wakes up.  Jason welcomes her back.  He tells Sam she is incredible; she touches Scout on the nose.
