3-20-2017 (Monday) Game Over for Nelle; or New Game?

Carly tells Sonny she is there to see what’s going on between them and what happens next; she tells him that she was so angry, and then so relieved, and then to find out that he had slept with Nelle, it’s more than she can handle.  She tells him that she understands how Nelle tricked him into sleeping with her; he asks why she can’t just let it be over then.  He reminds her that they have both told lies; he says he knows they fight and they say mean things and they’ve left each other alone, but he reminds her that they really need each other.  He pulls her close; they kiss.  She stops though, and tells him that she needs to go; she tells him they always screw up the day-to-day stuff.  She admits that she loves him and will never stop, but she thinks they need to just end this; she leaves.

Andre stops by to see Anna.  He tells her that he did Charlotte’s evaluation; she tells him that she went to see Olivia Jerome.  He asks why she would put herself through that; she admits that she is not really sure.  She talks about Duke and the interactions they had with Olivia in the past, and how her life has been complicated and full of contradictions; she says she glosses over her past crimes, but seeing Valentin reminds her of who she was and in all honesty she doesn’t like that person very much.  Andre tells her to be kind to that young woman; she altered the course of her life, then adds that she needs to be kind to the woman she is now as well, reminding her that she has to take care of herself.  They hug and he leaves, giving her one last piece of advice; he says to steer clear of Valentine, at least for now.

Finn is on the phone with a rehab center, claiming he has a patient that needs to get in ASAP; they tell him they will call him back.  He packs his bag; he finds an unused bottle of Zen-zen in the suitcase.  He tells Roxy he is sorry and tells the hospital they the patient has changed his mind, when they call back.  He goes to get his bag with his syringe and supplies; he drops the bottle and it breaks on the floor.  Hayden tells Tracy that Finn is going to get help for his addiction; she describes his withdrawals in the room, during the bomb scare.  Tracy goes to visit Finn; she finds his door ajar, steps in and sees his bag packed and a broken bottle of Zen-zen on the floor.  But where is Finn?

Nelle stops in at the Metro Court (why I’m not sure) and is lambasted by Bobbie; they bicker back and forth about the things she did and the things Carly did in her past, and then Bobbie tells her to get out of her daughter’s restaurant before she calls the cops.  Nelle leaves, looking defeated.  Nina is watching Charlotte at the office; her nanny just resigned, having to go take care of a sick sister.  Nelle shows up at Crimson, with a dress Nina had loaned her; she tells Nina she doesn’t need it anymore because she is no longer working for Carly.  Nina gets a call and Nelle offers to watch Charlotte; I think Nina is going to hire Nelle to be Charlotte’s new nanny.  When Nina gets off the phone, Nelle asks if she could apply for the position.

Laura and Lulu talk about the hearing and her disappointment; Laura tells her, she will need to be patient and “play the long game” – Lulu questions what that is and how it will get her, her daughter back.  Laura doesn't get to say.  Valentin stops by the table and offers to let Lulu spend one hour with Charlotte on Thursday; Lulu scoffs at the offer, but Laura says she will be there.  Valentin goes to see Anna… he says he would like to end this dance.  He tells her that his wife and daughter are all that’s important to him now, and he won’t have anything upset that.  He says if she does, he will “remove” her, permanently.
