06-22-2017 (Thursday) Stella Knows

Molly walks into Kelley’s; Laura asks her if she saw Spencer.  She says he was getting in an Uber and mentioned something about not letting Crimson cast shadows on his legacy; Kevin determines that Spencer has gone to see Nina.  Stella Henry walks into Kelley’s and sees Molly doting on TJ.  She introduces herself; she seems surprised to learn that Molly and TJ live together.  

Nina tells Spencer there must be some mistake; she swears no one is trying to his birthright.  He tells her he doesn’t care what anybody else says, that home was his father’s and it should now be his; she tells him, with Valentin in prison, everything will probably be put into trust for Charlotte.  Spencer pulls out his phone and says he is booking a flight to Hauge right now, to go talk to Valentin in person; Nina tells him flying around the world may not be the best idea.  Spencer cries, “Valentin murdered my father.”  Nina kneels down beside him and says she can’t imagine how much he misses his father; he starts to sob, saying “everyday” he misses him and it’s Valentin’s fault.  Nina hugs him; Kevin and Laura come in.  They apologize for his barging in and make him apologize as well; Nina tells them it’s okay and tells Spencer that she knows he will always miss his dad, but in time, maybe it won’t hurt so much.  Laura tells Spencer, from now on, he will tell her what he wants and she will tell him if he is allowed to do it  Nina asks Kevin if he thinks she is a horrible person for divorcing Valentin over this; he says Valentin lied by omission, so no, she could no be accused of abandoning him.

Jordan shows up at Curtis’ and tells him that they need to cool things off, at least until his aunt leaves town; he tells her they can do this.  He doesn’t want her backing out now, after all they’ve been through; he tells her that they will work things out, saying Thomas would want them to be happy, even if it is with each other.  Molly sits, talking with Stella, and thinking she already knows, inadvertently tells her about Shaun being TJ’s biological father; she says her nephew Thomas was a good man.  TJ is shocked when he comes back to the table with Molly’s order and sees his Aunt Stella; he asks how long she has been there and she says “long enough.”  After Molly takes her order and goes, Stella tells TJ that she knows about Shaun being his father; he tries to explain, as his mom explained to him, but Stella goes on a rampage, saying Jordan is going to answer for her lies.  Stella walks into the station and starts blasting Jordan with insults, right in front of all the officers; she calls her trash, and a faithless whore.

Carly tells Sonny this place is such a reminder of Morgan and all the bad things that have happened; he tells her they love this place, and have been happy there before.  He says maybe they could be happy there again and leans over to kiss Carly; a knock comes on the door.  It’s the liquor delivery; the man apologizes for the late intrusion.  Carly tells Sonny they could get the banking done and she could go home tonight; he says banks are closed and there is no Internet service right now.  Sonny asks Carly if she wants to go to the Casino; she says she wants to stay there and asks if he could make a couple more Mojitos.  He pours their drinks and they play a few rounds of poker; he says this is how they should have handled the divorce.  Carly looses her desire to play anymore; he apologizes for saying that and tries to comfort her.  She says tomorrow they are going to move forward with their lives; she says the drinks have her head spinning and she needs to talk a walk.  A man stands outside the door, listening.  Carly is surprised to see him standing there when she opens the door to go clear her head.

Jason can tell something isn’t right with Sam, as she insists on wanting to go with him to check on Sonny and Carly; she sits down and confesses to him that she keeps having these episodes, where her mind keeps telling her to worry that he is in danger.  She feels better after telling him; Jason says he will just call Sonny, but then he can’t reach him.  Sam says he needs to go ahead and go; she insists she will be fine.  He says he doesn’t want to leave her alone now; she says she would feel worse if he didn’t go now.  The minute Jason walks out the door, Sam starts shaking and sits down on the floor, breathing heavily.  Molly knocks on the door, bringing BLTs; she asks where Jason is and says she wants to play Scrabble.  Sam tells Molly he has gone out of town; Molly asks why she looks so worried and Sam confesses her episodes to Molly, explaining it’s like when something goes South on a case, but it is ALL the time and she feels like she is going crazy.  Molly tells her she thinks she knows exactly what’s going on.  She says he is simply overwhelmed with being a new mom, and since she didn’t raise Danny when he was young, it’s like she’s doing it all for the first time; she thinks she is just projecting her concerns onto Jason.  Sam falls asleep after Molly leaves; Jason walks in the door.  She jumps up saying she is glad he is safe there with her; Sonny steps in behind him and spookily says, “he’s not yours… he belongs to me.”
