04-26-2017 (Wednesday) The Watch Continues

Nelle tells Nina that she took this job to turn over a new leaf; Nina says she understands that, but she is expanding her job description to include “covert observation.”  Nelle is surprised that she doesn’t trust her husband; she says they seem so happy.  She says the worst thing she can do is to assume something and have it eat away at her, warning Nina that she may do something she ends up regretting.  Carly ends up interrupting their conversation and warning Nina against employing Nelle, telling her about the drugging of Sonny.  Nelle assumes that she will be let go and begins to excuse herself, but Nina says that makes her all the more eager.  She tells Nelle that she is going to spy on her husband, and says she better be damn good at it.

Anna tells Valentin she owes him her life; she reminds him of how he carried her to the hospital, saving her from complications from the blood clot and getting diagnosed with cancer.  She says she tries to pretend she doesn’t have it; realizing she is vulnerable has been humbling, she tells him.  She smiles.  She says she looked at his back the other day, tall and straight and strong, and remembered how it used to be twisted; she realized what he went through to make his outside the same as the inside.  She tells him that she is celebrating her life and wants him to join her in a drink of champagne; he concedes.  She pops the cork, just as Nina happens to call; Nina hears the noise in the background, as Anna ‘whoops’ when cork pops.  Valentin pretends to lose signal; Anna insists he take his glass.  They toast and drink; she pours “just one more” and asks him if tonight could be a new beginning, offering the watch back.  He refuses at first, but then allows her to put it back on his wrist; she says she so wants to believe that something that is irreparably broken can be fixed. Griffin talks to Andre about Anna's claim that she is receiving treatment outside of General Hospital; he asks if Andre thinks Anna could be hiding something.

Kiki tells her mom that she loves working at the hospital; she says it makes her feel like she really matters.  Her mom worries about her working in the psych ward; she says it’s a choice she made, because she wants to understand more about what took Morgan’s life.  Her mom brings up Dillon; they talk about the upcoming Nurses’ Ball and then last year’s Ball.  Kiki gets sad remembering that was the night that Morgan got so angry and began his downward spiral; Ava tells Kiki she has to move on.  Kiki gets upset, thinking she means they should forget Morgan; she says she needs to go.  Her mom apologizes and says she is in awe of herr; they hug and Kiki cries.

Bobbie confronts Sonny at the hospital; she tells him, as much as she doesn’t like him, she knows he makes her daughter happy.  She says no matter what else has happened between them, they both lost Morgan; they talk a while, and Sonny brings out the pill bottle.  Lucy approaches Sonny, to talk about the Nurses’ Ball, and stops cold when she sees the bottle in Sonny’s hands; her whole demeanor changes and she apologizes for overstepping.  Sonny tells her he will take his usual table and provide an additional contribution; he tells her to call his accountant.  She thanks him and says there is something that she still needs to tell him; he tells her it will have to wait.  He goes to see Andre.  Sonny tells Andre that he can’t help but think, maybe the manufacturer of the pills screwed up; Andre says that would be difficult to prove.

Michael talks to her mother; she tells him that his father got Jax sent out of the country.  Michael tells her that Jax will work things out; Carly can’t believe he is defending his father.  He says he just doesn’t want her trying to get back at him; she says she won’t do anything Sonny doesn’t deserve.  He suggests she go to Australia; he says she could get a house down the street from Jax if she doesn’t want to move to fast with him.  She seems to consider it, until he mentions Nelle and she realizes he is thinking about forgiving her; she tells him, he can’t.  She explains that she tested her love with Jason because it was the only way she knew to prove it to herself, and as good friends as they are, she says, Jason could never fall back in love with her because she hurt him so badly; Michael realizes she is comparing Jason and herself to he and Nelle.  He politely ends the conversation; and acknowledges that he is going to do whatever he wishes.
