Tracy goes to see Larry
Ashton; she almost changes her mind, but he comes out of his room and catches
her. He tells her he needs to tell her
something; he tells a story about a piece of artwork that he purchased at an
auction, which was found out to have been stolen. It’s rightful owner was Tracy’s father, “J. L. Holt”? Lucy, after
insisting she needs to talk to Sonny and Carly about their son, changes her
mind, when Ava shows up offering a donation to the Nurses’ Ball; Lucy and Ava
leave. Carly wonders what that was all
about. Ava gives Lucy a check for an
undisclosed amount; Lucy tells her to add another zero to it. Ava tells Lucy she needs a day or so to get
the money; Lucy says she needs it by tonight, or she will have to go back to
talk to Carly and Sonny. Ava tells her
she will make some calls. As she
wonders how she’s going to get that much money, Ava is approached by Tracy, who
tells her that she needs her help with regard to a painting. She tells her about this painting in Turkey
and says she needs her help to find it; Ava says she’d be happy to help, for a
price. Carly and Sonny continue fighting; he tells her if she can't forgive him, she can walk out the door. She tells him she isn't going to be forced into forgiving him before she is ready and tells him to watch her walk out that door; she turns and walks away.
Anna gets paperwork from Leisel, which supposedly came through Caesar; she makes Anna promise that she won’t use it to track down Britt. Anna gasps when she reads whatever is in the papers; it appears that she may have been a double-agent. Andre tells her that he doesn’t believe she would have done that; she says he’s wrong. She tells him that she graduated with the highest marks and was very arrogant and immature, admitting that’s a bad combination. She says if someone was willing to pay for information, she was cynical enough sell it; she admits that people died because of her. Then she realizes something; she goes to talk to Valentin and tells him that she thinks they’ve both been played. Valentine tells her that he was a rising start in counter intelligence and threat analysis; she persuaded him to access highly classified intelligence for something she needed for a ‘special assignment’; he tells her she asked him, herself, right after they slept together.
Ned comes to the Metro Court to pick up Olivia; she tells him she might have to just meet him at the movie, but she may miss the opening credits. He says they can make a later movie. Olivia then asks Ned if he would want to adopt Leo; he tells her he can’t do that. She asks why not; he explains that he loves that boy, and loves him, but if she doesn’t want to marry him, he says he doesn’t understand why she would want him to adopt Leo. Olivia tells Ned that she loves him and hopes to spend the rest of her life with him, but from where she stands a marriage certificate is just a guarantee that they have no future. Ned tells Olivia that he is going to propose one more time, tonight at dinner; he says he will accept whatever answer she gives him.
Laura talks to Lulu; she says it is clear that Nelle still has feelings for Michael. She believes Nelle may be their way to out-maneuver Valentin. She says, if Nelle wants to get back into Michael’s good graces, it would make sense for her to endear herself to Lulu and Dante; Lulu wonders if Nelle would really do anything to alienate Valentin and Nina. Laura tells Lulu that she should befriend Nelle; then she will have an ally under his roof, or a spy, Lulu adds. Alexis finishes another glass of wine; another knock comes to her door. This time it’s Valentine; he asks to come in. She says she wouldn’t want to be rude; he comes in and asks if she is going to offer him a drink, or if she prefers to drink alone. He tells Alexis that he is there to make good on a promise; something about the keys to the Cassidine Estate. He offers to share the estate; says they could move into Wyndemere. He says Charlotte could use someone her age to play with, affirming that Danny is close to her age. Alexis tells him goodbye; she says if he wants a child for Charlotte to play with, she has a sibling, Rocco and tells him he could start there. She shows him the door, but not until he takes her bottle of wine back out of the cabinet, pops the cork and tosses it to her, making the comment that she doesn’t seem to have many friends.
As soon as she walks away, there’s another knock at the door; this time, it’s Julian. She shuts the door on him, but he reappears in the living room; she puts her hands over her face and turns to see him sitting on the half wall next to her. She breaks down and starts talking to him about how his lies affected her, how she lost everything, including her husband; then she says none of this matters because he’s not really here. Julian tells her she’s right, adding that this means it’s not really him telling her to put the bottle down, it’s herself; he then caresses her, turns her head and kisses her and she opens her eyes, still standing in the doorway. She goes in and grabs her bottle of wine; she pours it out over the handrail.
