04-10-2017 (Monday) Nelle's Confession

Nathan comes to talk to Alexis; he tells her the jacket they found had a bullet hole and blood on it.  He tells her his card was used for a bus ticket; she says his wallet must have been stolen, because even at his lowest, he wouldn’t travel by bus.  Besides she says, he was smart enough not to use his credit card; she says he wouldn’t do that.  Nathan thanks her for her time, and leaves, saying if he finds anything definitive, he’ll let her know.  As soon as he pulls away, Alexis puts on her coat, grabs her keys and leaves.  She goes to see Sam, asking if she knew about the credit card being used; she admits she did and says Curtis is also looking into it.  Alexis asks what she isn’t telling her; Sam confesses everything.  Then she gets a call from Curtis; she says they know who used Julian’s card… it was some kid, claiming he found the card on the street.  Alexis says that doesn’t prove whether Julian is alive or not; Sam asks what she was hoping and she says, she honestly doesn’t know.

Elizabeth comes to talk to Jason; she says she needs to check with him about Jake.  Jake shows up at Franco’s; Franco asks him why he’s there.  He says he needed to find out for himself why Franco doesn’t want to be his friend anymore; he tells her that they are still friends, but he doesn’t want to see him get in trouble for being out alone after dark.  He says he needs to take him home now; he says he doesn’t want to go home.  Elizabeth asks Jason, if Franco can’t be in Jake’s life, why Sam is.  She says Jake trusts Franco and if he is going to talk to anyone, it’s going to be him.  Franco calls and tells Jason that Jake is there; Jake starts to tell Franco about his appointment with Dr. Maddox.  When his parents show up, Jake asks how they knew he was there; Franco admits to calling them.  Jake says he’s just like them, saying he thought he could trust him.  Elizabeth takes Jake to the car and Jason stays to talk to Franco; Liz looks concerned, but Jason says they will be fine.  He theorizes why Franco called him, instead of Elizabeth; says he trying to “act like a responsible adult” to score points with Liz.  Franco tells him, he scored points too for not losing his cool like he usually does; Franco tells Jason that Jake is his friend.  He says maybe he just like art; probably got that from his mother, he says.  Jason tells Franco he doesn’t want his son there anymore; he tells him “don’t come near my kid again” and Franco says he’s just pissed because Franco knows Jake better than he does.  Elizabeth walks back in, asking what she missed.  Franco questions why Jake feels more comfortable with him than them; Jason says it’s because Franco made it that way.  They leave; Franco rolls out Jake’s art scroll and says, “Jake left this for me.”

Michael talks to Kristina; he tells her about Sonny’s affair with Nelle (apparently she’s been out of the loop for a while); she calls her a bitch.  Michael says she was hurting too; Kristina asks why he’s defending her.  He tells her about Nelle taking advantage of the situation; he also tells her she is staying in Port Charles.  He then tells them how their parents are handling things; she says Carly shouldn’t be so touchy on the subject of cheating.  Kristina tells Michael it is up to him to step in and get through to their parents; he goes to talk to his dad.   Nathan talks to Kristina briefly; she asks how much he thinks her mom knows.  He says he isn’t sure, but he hopes she isn’t hiding anything because she could be opening herself up to a whole new kind of trouble.

Nelle tells Sonny that he wasn’t just drunk when they “slept together”… she drugged him.  She explains everything she did, adding that it was all a set-up, as if that would make it better; he is even more angry now that it was all a lie.  He asks her how she thinks he’s gonna react; she apologizes and says she wishes she could take it all back, but she can’t.  He says it’s not just that she did it, but that she kept twisting the knife, making the recording, etc.; he asks why she is confessing now.  He says he is not giving her absolution; she asks why it matters.  He says he wants to know what’s in it for her; he says she didn’t just wake up with a guilty conscience and he doesn’t buy her story.  Michael walks in and asks what Nelle just confessed to; Nelle says she needs to go.  Sonny tells Michael what she just told him, that she drugged him that night; Michael is confused.  Sonny says he needs to tell Carly right now, and leaves.  Michael asks Nelle which is true; did she sleep with his father or drug him and lie about it.  Nelle says she actually thought it would be more “decent” if she just make Sonny think they slept together; she says she was gonna tell Michael, but she felt she owed it to Sonny to tell him first.  Michael gets really angry with her for her messed up thinking and tells her to leave; she apologizes again.  She says she hopes he can forgive her someday because she couldn’t stand to think he hated her; he tells her it’s not his job to fix her and closes the door.

Jax stops kissing Carly and tells her, they almost made this mistake the last time; she tells him it’s not a mistake and she doesn’t want to stop.  They go upstairs; they undress each other, and make love.  They laugh when they are done; she asks if Jax thinks she was using him.  He says he hopes so, because he was definitely using her.  He suggests they fill the next few hours the same way.  Sonny shows up at Carly’s; she and Jax are now finished making love; she tells him this isn't the best time.  He says he has something to tell her that will change everything.  He tells her he never slept with Nelle.
