03-08-2017 (Wednesday) "Duke" Saves Anna

Nelle is packing boxes, saying she has nothing left here; Carly shows up with her last check and to “finish business.”  Nelle insists their father loved Carly, but Carly says he “never reached out” to her – Nelle shows Carly the silver rattle she has been keeping.  Carly says her father probably only had it because he couldn’t pawn it, or forgot about it; she says he didn’t care about her at all, until she was grown and rich.  Nelle dumps out the letters from her music box, all returned, except on, which Carly responded to, telling Frank that she didn’t care about him or his “little brat.”  Nelle insists that Carly demanded her kidney from their father; Carly informs her that she always though Joslyn’s kidney came from Jake, and explains the circumstances that created that belief, saying she had asked her best friend for his dying child’s kidney.  After she leaves Nelle’s, Carly calls someone, saying, “we need to talk, now.” Sonny apologizes to Michael, discussing Nelle… how, if, etc.; Sonny tells Michael he is lucky he’s not “with” her.  Michael asks why Sonny didn’t warn them about what he knew; Michael says he was just trying to protect himself and let Nelle trash their family for months.  Sonny argues that he did it for their family; he begs Michael not to forgive Nelle, adding that she is dangerous.The judge calls Nina up to the stand; Nina testifies that her marriage is NOT a sham.  She says she and Valentin love each other, and she believes they can provide a stable, loving home for Charlotte.  Diana files an Emergency Petition for Removal of Charlotte, for “kidnapping” explaining that the term kidnapping also includes simply keeping a child from its mother; she asks Valentin (now on the stand) how long he has known about Lulu, then stresses to the judge that he kept this child from her mother during her most formative years.  The judge adjourns momentarily.  When she returns, she decides to have an evaluation done of Charlotte and both sets of parents; she denies the Petition for now.  Nora tells Valentin she hopes he doesn’t have any skeletons in his closet.Rudg sneaks into Julian’s room and tries to suffocate him with his pillow; he gets interrupted by Jordan.  Julian tells her that was his sister’s “thug.”  Jordan determines no one is safe and puts the hospital on lockdown; Felix tells Jordan he just saw Rudg heading down the stairwell.  “Duke” tells Liv that there is no room for Anna in their lives; he tells Anna to leave and get the help she needs, assuring Liv that she won’t be a threat to them any longer.  Olivia says she can’t allow a witness to this; Anna has to die.  She pulls a gun on Anna; “Duke” says he should be the one to pull the trigger; Liv hands him the gun.  He points it at her.  Anna laughs at Olivia, telling her this isn’t Duke; Liv remembers moments with her beloved, then attacks Griffin.  Anna pulls her off; Liv tells Anna she knows something Anna doesn’t know, and laughs.  She has Robyn, now strapped to a bomb – but where?  Jordan finds the secret door, but before she can enter, someone hits her over the head with a lead pipe.
