05-02-2017 (Tuesday) Disaster Looms

Valentine hands Anna’s necklace back, as he sits down next to her.  He says he can’t believe that she still has it; she says Robyn found it in her jewelry box and she didn’t remember where she had gotten it until recently.  She says it’s a symbol of the project that brought them together… and tore them apart.  The Chimera project was the last thing she asked him to help her with, she says.    She talks about the Chimera; a dream, an illusion.  She wishes she could go back and change things; she talks about the things from that night that she cherishes.  He says it was all an illusion, like that necklace; she says he doesn’t know the whole story, claiming it was not all an illusion.  She gets cold; he gives her his jacket.  She says she never would have ordered his death; she lit a candle for him after he vanished.  She says her regret was not losing the “secret of the Chimera project,” it was losing him; she says she broke both of their hearts that night in Lisbon.  Anna tries to stand and remembers her ankle is hurt.  Valentin offers to give Anna a ride home, even though she protests.  But the car won’t start; strange, he says, he never has trouble with that car.  He calls for an Ubber; Anna apologizes for him being “stuck” with her.  Valentin says he should go for ice; Anna asks him just to stay with her, and tells him she doesn’t consider them mortal enemies.  She says she was in the wrong, so he can make the rules; she brings up the past again and gets him to mention that he may have sold the secrets to somebody else.  Her ride arrives before he confirms anything.

Sonny tells Carly he needs to talk to her about Morgan; he tells her about the pills being part of the robbery, and that there was no information gained from them.  They question why Morgan would have had his pills with him at The Floating Rib; and if he did, how were they still there six months later?  Carly wants to have the pills analyzed; Sonny tells her he’s already done it, and the results were normal.  She gets upset and talks about the circumstances of his death, but gets a phone call about a meeting regarding the divorce.  Sonny tells her he doesn’t want to have a meeting; he just wants to take what’s his… Carly tells him, she has what’s his and plans on keeping it.  She reminds him that he signed everything over to her right before going to jail when he thought he killed Morgan.  They start fighting; Joslyn comes off the elevator and lays into Sonny.  She tells him she does not forgive him for anything he’s done and says Morgan wouldn’t forgive him either; Sonny says, maybe not and leaves.  

Carly tells Jos that her divorcing Sonny has nothing to do with her and she doesn’t want her hating him; Joslyn says, “too late.”  Joslyn questions her mother about not wanting to move to Australia and asks, if things are really over between her and Sonny, why she is still wearing the ring; she goes back to her room.  Carly looks at her ring.  Sonny goes to the bar where he meets with a young lady.  Ava comes to see Scotty; he tells her, Julian is going to stay in jail.  She says she is there about “her” not her brother; she says she is done worrying, thanks to him.  She says things are improving for her and talks about a spectacular sunset she saw tonight; she says it’s all due to his advice.  He jokes that he should become some lifestyle guru; she said it was just his assurance that the pills aren’t going to come back to “bite” her.  She talks to him about her chances to get custody of Avery; he convinces her it is best not to try that right now.  They decide to go out for a drink; they are surprised to see Sonny talking with somebody.  He tells the lady that he needs to make it an early night; she leaves her room key on the table.  He takes his ring off and picks up the key, leaving the bar with the young lady.

Franco and Elizabeth notice the new drawing on Jake’s timeline; Franco says it doesn’t look like anything good (the one resembling a lion, but with a snake’s tail, and cloven hooves)…. Franco says he wants to help Jake.  Jason, after seeing the ‘new’ page in Helena’s book, says he recognizes the image; it’s a Chimera, he says.  Sam asks how he knows; he isn’t sure, he just knows.  Jason says they need to deal with this now.  Jason and Sam go over to Elizabeth’s; they all agree, the Chimera is definitely connected to Jake’s birthday in some way; Jason is frustrated that he doesn’t remember his time on the island.  They agree to take a break for the night; Jason takes the book back.  He tells Franco that he realizes Jake “thinks he has a connection” with him, and tells him to “do the right thing.”  Sam tells Jason that she thinks whatever Helena did to Jake and to him are all tied together; he says he agrees and tells her he needs to go back to Cassadine Island.  Franco revels in Jason’s acknowledgment of Jake’s connection; then he tells her that he held back some information about the Chimera he found online.  He says the appearance of the Chimera is said to be foreshadowing of disaster.
