04-27-2017 (Thursday) The Fever

Jason and Jake are coloring; they show each other their pictures and Jason asks if he can have a hug.  Jake sits on his lap, and Jason starts squeezing him, almost putting him in a chokehold; Jake starts calling out, “not so hard dad.”  Jason wakes up; Sam says he must have been having a bad dream.  He says, “yeah.”  Sam asks Jason what’s bothering him; he tells her Jake is afraid of who he used to be.  Jason says he feels helpless because he doesn’t know how to help his boy; he thinks there might be some answers in the book Helena left him.  

Jake has a fever… of 110; very odd.  Even Franco knows he faked it; he says, he used to use a light bulb to heat the thermometer up.  He asks Elizabeth what she thinks is going on.  She tells Franco she talked to Jason about the picture of the little boy hiding from the scarecrow; she says that they have realized Jake is afraid of the man Jason used to be.  As Elizabeth and Franco talk, Jake overhears; he asks what they are trying to help him with.  They say they want to help him feel better; Elizabeth asks if she can get him a cut of tea and he says sure.  He asks Franco if he wants to color; he says that’s like asking a kid if he wants pancakes.  Jake unrolls his scroll; Franco notices he has added something to the history line… above the boy hiding behind the tree, are the numbers 0705.  When Franco asks him what those numbers mean to him, Jake suddenly starts “not feeling so good” and goes back to his room.  Jason comes over to ask about seeing the book; Elizabeth and Franco show him the numbers and ask if they mean anything to him.  They wonder if it’s a date; July 5th, or May 7th?  They note, May 7th is Jake’s birthday.

Tracy talks to her father’s picture again; she says she can’t believe he would have done this.  Dillon comes into the living room, totally understanding; he says when she is ready to talk to a living, breathing person, he’s her guy.  She asks if he thinks she’s an awful person for not giving up the painting; Dillon tells his mother, her father wasn’t here for her when he was alive, and asks what makes her think that he’ll be there for her in his death.  He sits down and tells his grandfather his way of loving sucks; he tells his mom, he will be disappointed if she doesn’t give up the painting, but he’ll get over it.  He will always love her and he won’t abandon her; he says as long as they stick together, they will be okay.  He tells her there’s not many of them left, so they can’t afford to cast anybody aside; he kisses her and leaves.  She talks to her father again, saying it’s nice to have the support from Dillon she never had from him.  Laura comes in to talk to her; Tracy asks Laura what if her father was not the man she believed he was.  She wonders if the time and energy she has wasted on him was worth it, saying either he was a good and flawed man she believed in, or he was a callous bastard.  Either, the painting is a declaration of love for her, she says, or it’s the only thing of value she ever got from him; either way, she tells Laura, she is not giving it up.  Laura says, if Edward strayed, it doesn’t mean he didn’t love Lila; and he made her happy, she says.  They were a good balance Laura tells Tracy; she also says she got the best of both of them and should be proud.  She leaves. 

Kiki talks to Samira; she tells her that the Quartermaine’s will help her and she should trust them.  Samira ask why she trusts them; Kiki says, “Dillon.”   As long as he is on her side, she says, she’ll be okay.  Kiki talks to Monica about Samira; she tells her Samira is getting restless.  Monica tells her they admitted her under an alias, and ran all the tests; they are just waiting for the results.  The large gentleman from immigration walks up to the desk and demands Monica’s attention; she tells him she is busy, then asks Kiki to take care of this patient’s discharge.  She says she has already signed the papers; she hands her Samira’s alias file.  Kiki sees Dillon and asks him for his help getting Samira out of the hospital unseen; Dillon goes out to get a wheelchair.  Just as they are about to wheel her onto the elevator, Ned steps off of it; he stops them and tells the immigration man that Samira is right there.  They are all stunned.

Alexis is meeting with Diane; Carly happens to come by.  Diane apologizes, saying Sonny called her first; she says that’s okay, and asks Alexis if she wants to represent her in her divorce from Sonny.  Diane excuses herself.  Carly explains to Alexis that Sonny has some “sensitive information on Jax” and has had him deported permanently.  Alexis tells her, unfortunately, her license is still suspended; she gives her a referral.  Ava sees Alexis talking with Carly and asks Alexis why she didn’t tell her, her brother was alive.  She says she has other things to worry about and excuses herself.  Ava asks Carly if it’s too early to toast to her divorce; she sits down, but when she mentions Carly being out of Avery’s life after the divorce, Carly tells her she does not plan on being absent from Avery’s life, ever., and she leaves.
Sonny is on the phone with somebody, who I assume is analyzing the pills; he says they could be the key to what caused his son’s death.  Diane tells Sonny he needs to not be so obstinate… he says Carly will leave with what she brought to the marriage and nothing else; Dian tells him not to be so sure.  She explains, he signed transfers last year, endowing the foundation in Morgan’s name and trusts for his children, signing everything else over to Carly; he never had a lawyer transfer them back over to him.  Carly holds all of the cards, Diane tells him; and to avoid federal difficulties, she says, he may have to live outside of the country… like Jax, Sonny says.  Love that irony.
