04-07-2017 (Friday) The Unknown Lady

As Tracy reads her father’s letter again, and stares at the painting, she tells her “daddy” that the “Unknown Lady is coming home” and she knows exactly where to put it.  Laura wanders the halls of the monestary and hears that woman crying again; she calls out.  The English-speaking monk asks if there isn’t any way they can convince her to leave the painting, mentioning the potential buyer again; Tracy writes them a check.  Laura asks her why it is so important to her; she simply says it is priceless, as it is the last connection she has to her father.  They leave the room for a few minutes and when they return, the painting is gone; one of the monks took it.  The head-monk returns it, and apologizes; his companion says “there will be dire consequences” and Tracy asks what that means, after noting that that man had pretended not to speak English earlier.  The monk tells her not to worry about it, as they have worked it out.  Laura still has a bad feeling about that woman crying; Tracy says they need to go and leave whatever is behind those dusty walls to the monks.

Michael goes to see Nelle at Perks; she tells him that he is too nice.  He sits down.  She says when you care about someone more than they care about you, you just get hurt; she then tells him everything she ever knew about her life has turned out to be a lie.  She tells Michael that Jax just talked to her; she says, back then, what she did made her feel closer to her dad, like she was needed.  She can’t believe that her father set her up to take revenge against Carly for something she didn’t even do; she pulls a poker chip out of her purse and shows it to Michael.  She says she found it in her father’s things when he came back after disappearing, post-surgery; she says she didn’t want to believe that he could be that stupid or selfish, so she bought his lies and pushed it out of her mind.  Michael seems to understand.  She says she doesn’t know what to do now; she carried her hatred for Carly around like a weapon.  She says that is all she’s ever known and now she doesn’t know who she is without it; she says nothing feels real anymore… except how she feels about him.  She tells him she had hope for the first time in her life, that night in the cabin; she thinks about how she could have had someone as great as him, if she hadn’t gone down this road.  He says it’s too bad there’s no way to take it back; she says she thinks maybe there is.  She goes to see Sonny; she tells him there is something he needs to hear that will change everything.

Franco is painting; Elizabeth knocks on the door.  He answers abruptly, but calms down as soon as he sees her.  She tells him about Jake’s appointment; he admits that Jake called him after the appointment, and that he turned down his request to see him.  She kisses him and explains that she still needs him to keep his distance “for now” but assures him things will be better soon.  She looks at the picture he is working on; it’s him, and he says he needs her now.  He asks her to undress and drapes her in a bold-patterned sheet; he wants it to contrast his monochrome half.  He kisses her and begins to paint.  After he finishes, they begin to make out; she then tells him she has to go, but says she might come see him later.

Sonny tells Dante that after Morgan died, there was a bottle of pills missing; he mentions the prescription name and Dante says that’s the one they have in evidence.  He gets handed the file; Dante looks.  Sonny asks whose fingerprints were on the bottle; apparently there were none… they close the file and Dante says that’s it, unless one of the robbers will plead out and describe the person they got them from.  Sonny goes home, and recollects his conversations with Carly about Morgan’s medication; he thinks about calling Carly.  Dante questions Ava about the pills, pleading with her to give him some answers; she says she just can’t.  She tells him to check with Max or the cleaning service and leaves.

Jax tells Carly he is the reason his mother is dead; he says that she was getting better, until he told her about Nelle.  He says he just had to tell someone; she forgave him, of course, but she was devastated.  He said she questioned what she did wrong as a mother, admitting he is not the man she raised him to be, and says he is just as responsible for her death as her illness was.  Carly tells him, he is not responsible for her death; he says she wanted him to tell Carly the truth, and she took a turn for the worse right after he told her.  That’s when he realized he had to tell the truth and make things right with Nelle.  He says he is prepared to face the consequences, whatever they may be.  Carly kisses him; they kiss passionately.  He stops and apologizes; she tells him he doesn’t have to.  They start kissing again; looks like they are going to make love, just as Sonny is about to learn that he didn’t really sleep with Nelle.
