05-03-2017 (Wednesday) A New Girl in Town

Tracy tells her father she knows exactly where the painting should go; she calls somebody across the world to make some “very specific arrangements.”  Tracy tells Dillon about her ‘vision’ while unconscious in the crypt, and tells him she is finally at peace with herself.  She invites Monica and the family to a brunch, with some invited guests, being Kiki, Hayden and Finn, Laura, Olivia, and Lulu.  Ned announces to his family that he has made a decision to change his name from Ashton to Quartermaine; he says it’s how he thinks of himself and is intrinsic to his identity.  Monica seems very happy; Ned asks his mother if she approves that he take the name Edward Lawrence Quartermaine, and she, almost in tears, says, “with all my heart.”  

Tracy tells the family of her father’s ventures as Jimmy Lee Holt and about the letter her father left her; she says it set her free.  She tells her family and friends that she loves them all very much, but she now has to step out of her father’s shadow; she says she has to make a life for herself and she can’t do it there.  She announces to them, she’s leaving.

As Carly frets over whether or not to take off her ring, Sonny climbs onto the bed, while kissing the young lady he met in the bar (on The Floating Rib).  She accepts responsibility for the cards that have been delivered there for Lucy, for the Nurses’ Ball.  Olivia and Dante help Lucy with a box of decorations; Nathan tells Dante that Maxie is coming home, and he hired somebody to clean the apartment for him.  Nathan gets a call that Maxie is not coming home after all.  Dante tells Nathan Maxie must believe that their marriage can handle it; he says their marriage is solid.  Nathan isn’t so sure.  Sonny and Martina introduce themselves to each other in the morning light; he asks her if she has any regrets.  She says no and asks him if he does; he tells her he had a great time last night and it was a welcome distraction for what he has to do today.  She tells him she has to meet with a client in an hour; he says that gives them plenty of time and they start kissing again.  (I’m guessing this is Carly’s lawyer, recommended by Alexis and they’ll be finding this out shortly.)  

Carly comes to talk to Lulu about using The Floating Rib as an overflow (hotel) for a convention that is coming to town the week of the Nurses’ Ball.  Carly hears a noise in the room behind the bar; she goes to check it out.  Martina’s feet kick the phone off of the nightstand; Lulu tells Carly that she has the State Room rented out for the week, as Carly tries to open the door.  Sonny asks if he’ll get to see her later; she says probably not, because this case is probably going to take up all her time this week.  They agree to get together again, if they ever bump into each other in the future.  Carly meets Diane in the conference; they are the first to arrive.  Diane tells Carly that Sonny is going to miss her like a dying man misses oxygen; she says it’s easy to dissolve a marriage, but they will never dissolve this relationship and they should just go to separate corners until they work things out.  When Sonny comes in, Diane tells him they may be able to drop this whole thing; Carly notices he took off his ring.  She says they can get started, and she takes off her ring; her attorney enters the room… it’s Martina.
