3-21-2017 (Tuesday) The Past is the Past

Elizabeth calls to check on Franco and Jake; Olbrecht hard times her.  Liz assures her she’s on break; Olbrecht complains about Finn’s abrupt departure.  Hayden happens by and Olbrecht questions her about where Finn went; as Tracy looks around the room and calls out for Finn, he shows up at the door, holding a bottle of wine.  He assures her that he didn’t take any Zen-zen, although he wanted to; he says what’s on the floor, is the last of his supply.  Olbrech questions Hayden and Liz does her best to cover for Finn, saying he is taking time off to work on a paper about his research.  Hayden, rather than thanking her, tells Liz that she didn’t need her to cover for her.  Finn tells Tracy that he needs to just do this on his own; he can make it through the withdrawals, and he asks her to leave.  She refuses and suggests that he call Hayden; he gets angry saying he doesn’t need anyone.  

Hayden breaks down and talks to Elizabeth; she confesses that she is concerned because she wants to trust Finn, but she’s not sure that she can, and doesn’t know how to get through to him.  Liz explains that it isn’t up to her to make him see the light; she says sometimes, it’s the least likely person who has the most impact.  She tells Hayden, she has to accept the fact that person may not be her.  Finn makes fun of Tracy because her famly wants nothing to do with her, and because she married so many con artists and never got over her daddy issues; Tracy throws her drink in his face.  He apologizes and admits that he was just trying to push her away; he says he didn’t mean what he said.  She tells him he did, and that he was right; she admits her friend stock is limited and she is used to going it alone, admitting most of her family is gone.  She says she wonders sometimes what her life would be like if she had let more people in; she asks him if he wants to be like her.  He says she has a lifetime of achievements to be proud of; she says she also has a lifetime of regrets, and reminds him that he has a good woman who wants to share his struggles as well as his victories.  He calls Hayden and tells her that he was wrong; he says he can’t do this alone, and he needs her.

Michael and Dante talk about Olivia Jerome; Michael says Nelle made things even worse for his parents.  Dante tells Michael that he can’t blame himself for believing Nelle; Michael says it doesn’t matter.  She did what she did and now everyone is hurting; Dante says what does matter is if he can forgive her.  He says if he decides to kick Nelle to the curb, it has to be for him, not anyone else; then he says he has to go.  Carly goes to the Metro Court; she tells her mom that she kissed Sonny.  She tells him he is the only one in the world who truly understands her; Bobbie mocks his sleeping with Nelle.  Carly tells her mother that it is more than the infidelity; what she cannot forgive is the lies.  Then she tells her mother than she can only think about what a hypocrite she is; she says that what Nelle has done to her is payback for what she did to Bobbie.  Bobbie holds her daughter’s hand and tells her that this is not the same kind of situation; she says she and Tony had problems long before Carly blew into town and assures her that Nelle has no connection to her.

Nelle goes over her credentials with Nina (for some reason not mentioning that she was Avery’s nanny for a little while).  She admits that she was fired, when Nina asks why she isn’t working as Carly’s assistant anymore.  Nina says she is hesitant to get in the middle of things between her and Carly; Nelle starts to leave, and Nina changes her mind.  They only thing, she says, is that she has to know her on a personal level; they go to the Metro Court.  Carly tells Nina that hiring Nelle would be the worst mistake she ever made; she tells Nina that Nelle slept with her husband.  Bobbie says Lulu wouldn’t want Nelle anywhere near her daughter; Nina immediately takes offense to being told what Lulu would or wouldn’t want and hires Nelle on the spot.  Bobbie tells Nina when that tramp ends up in bed with her husband, she will only have herself to blame.  She says, she believes, given the chance, people can change.  Carly tells Nina to watch her back.  She and her mom toast to Nelle being on Spoon Island, and far away from their family.

Valentin corrects his prior language to Anna, saying he will remove her presence out of his life; the past stays in the past, he says.  Anna says it is his best tactic, presenting something outrageous and making it sound totally rational; she says she wants to know the truth about what happened between them and is not going to stop until she finds it.  He gives in and tells her to ask anything she wants; she asks why there was a kill order against him in her name.  He tells her that she was a traitor; he brings up the kiss.  She is still confused; he notices her hand is bleeding.  She asks him to tell her what she wants to know; he simply says, “no” and tells her to just forget they were ever in each other’s lives.  Anna calls somebody and says she needs to talk to them about something important; it’s Olbrecht.  Anna tells her she needs answers.  Valentin goes to see Nina; he tells her that he went to talk to Anna and told her he was letting go of his grudge.  He tells Nina he is leaving his past in the past.
