06-09-2017 (Friday) Questioning

Jordan shows up at Curtis’ and his Auntie Stella is not happy about it; she is even unhappier when he tells her they are “seeing each other.”  She brings up “everything” Jordan did to Curtis’ brother and says she destroyed their family and is responsible for Thomas’ death; Jordan says she is going to leave.  Curtis stops her; he tells his aunt he wants her to stop the hating.  He says it’s his birthday and he gets to choose who he wants there; Jordan says she doesn’t have to accept them and asks Curtis not to push this.  Stella chimes in that she is will never accept this; Curtis tells her, “then it’s time we get real.”  She gets real by telling Curtis she knows there was nothing ‘friendly or accidental’ about Thomas’ death, more or less accusing Jordan of setting the whole thing up; Curtis comes to Jordan’s defense.  Curtis tells his aunt that Shaun killed his brother in self-defense; she looks at him with surprise.  Jordan says may now isn’t the time; Stella thinks it is.  Curtis tells her to sit down and explains that after HE told Thomas about the affair (between Jordan and Shaun), Thomas went after Shaun with a shotgun; he says he put all of that in motion, so she should put her hate on him.  Stella shakes her head no; she says she could never hate him.  She is sad to learn that he has been blaming himself for his brother’s death all this time and asks why he didn’t just tell her; he says she was already upset about the marriage and so grief stricken.  She says she understands why he turned to drugs; he again takes responsibility for his own actions.  Stella puts the blame back on Jordan, saying if she hadn’t been unfaithful none of this would happen; Jordan says she’s right, accepting blame herself.

Hayden arrives at Finn’s, exhausted; she is questioning her ability to be a mother.  He tells her they are in this together and they will figure it out; she decides to call for room service.  She says they need to celebrate his getting back to work; he tells her there’s nothing to celebrate… his test still came back positive.  She questions how; he says they didn’t make sure enough that Brad didn’t get his hands on it, but Hayden suggests he may have an accomplice.  Maybe there is someone else out to get him?  He swears he hasn’t been using; she says she has no doubt about that.  He asks how he got so lucky and she says, “speaking of that.”  She tells him she is ready to resume sexual relations; they kiss.

Lucy is brought in for questioning; Dante asks her to explain how she got a hold of Morgan’s pill bottle and how Ava fits in to her story.  She tries to play stupid; Dante tells her he knows that Ava was involved and now he wants to know how Lucy is involved.  She tells Dante she saw Ava throwing the pill bottle away in a public trash can October 25th of last Fall; he asks why she took the bottle out of the trash, why she didn’t tell Sonny and Carly, and why she hung on to them.  She says she asked Ava about her suspicions that she had lured Morgan back into her bed; she thought maybe he had left his pills at her place.  She says Ava convinced her not to say anything because everyone had been hurt enough, saying she was torn but went along with Ava until Sonny and Ava confronted her at the Nurses’ Bal.  She is shocked to find out that there was no affair, and swears she knew nothing about the placebos in the bottle; she says that is horrible.  She asks why she would do that; Dante says because she didn’t want him dating Kiki.  He asks her how long they were in her possession and tells her that the pills had been switched again; they were a different dosage from his prescription.  She tells Dante she kept the bottle under lock and key, recollecting her trip to the motel room with Scotty where she put them in the room safe.  Scotty comes into the police station; Julian sees him and asks why he hasn’t returned his phone calls.  Scott tells him he isn’t his buddy and he has other clients.  Scott asks Julian what changed his mind about talking strategy; he says “Emily Scout, my granddaughter.”  Scotty mocks his new zest for life coming from one moment of holding his grandchild; he tells Julian he will have to listen to him.  He says he has the strategy of all strategies; the truth.  Julian gets a text and says he has to go; it’s Ava.  She might be dying, he says.  Dante sees Scotty and asks him to join he and Lucy in the interrogation room.

Ava is crashing quickly; her heart monitor stops.  They bring in the defibrillator; she has “been down…two minutes.”  Griffin calls “clear” – they shock her heart.  No response; Griffin says there is no DNR so they are going to take every measure possible.  Carly tells Kiki she is sorry she is going through this; Kiki doesn’t understand how she has any compassion for her.  Carly tells her that none of them blame her for her mother’s actions; Kiki says she blames herself.  She starts crying and says but she still doesn’t want her to die; Sonny stares through the window as they continue working on Ava.  Kiki watches helplessly, as Griffin tells Ava to fight for her daughter; he shocks her heart again and this time it responds.  Kiki hugs Dillon, crying, “it worked.”  Carly says she is happy for Kiki; Sonny says, “so am I,” smiling smugly.  Griffin tells Kiki this is normal for burn victims because the body trying to cool itself overtaxes the heart; he says they can’t know for sure that she is going to live but they are doing all they can.  Kiki thanks Griffin.
