07-19-2017 (Wednesday) Arrested

Julian comes to see Alexis; he tells her he wants her to be a witness for the defense.  She reminds him he’s the reason her license was suspended and says she won’t lie for him again.  He tells her he wants her to tell the truth; because she has nothing to gain and everything else to lose, he says, the jury will believe her.  She hands him a bible and tells him she wants to hear him testify; she questions him as if he were on the stand, asking why he didn’t give her some warning about his sister.  He swears he did it to protect her; he saw no other way.  She tells him she would be more of a detriment to his case than a benefit, but agrees to do it.  A knock comes on the door; she is delivered a Subpoena to appear in court as a witness, for the prosecution.

Finn tells Hayden the townhouse he was buying fell through; he tells her he found a better house – one with a yard and everything.  Griffin tells Finn they still need to do one more test; the results are negative and Monica official reinstates him. He gets a text; he is being called to the conference room.  There, a party awaits him; Hayden hugs him.Obrecht comes to get her final check and hears the group making a toast; she somehow thinks it is for her, and walks in with a smile, which quickly turns into mortification.  Hayden gives Obrecht her final paycheck.

Nathan goes to see his sister; she tells him that Valentin told her he was going to pull out all the stops to win her back.  She shows him pictures of her new “nursing home for horses” – Nathan asks if it’s working. Obrecht comes in; she has business to discuss with Nina.  She asks her son if she can speak with her niece privately.  She tells Nina she needs a job, and wonders if she could write a medical column for the magazine or something.  Nina says Crimson isn’t a medical magazine, but tells her aunt she will make some calls to see if she can find her a fitting position somewhere.

When Laura calls Dante to tell him that Spencer is missing, Dante says that’s not too unusual for him.  Laura tells Dante she knows that Valentin would like to make Spencer disappear permanently.  Dante asks Valentin to come down to the station to answer some questions, interrupting his visitation with Charlotte; Laura offers to take Charlotte home.  Valentin drops a paper that has lines from the play written on it; Nina says Spencer was rehearsing the part.  In Spencer’s handwriting, it says, “Claudius equals Valentin; Hamlet equals me.”  Nathan asks Valentin what he is doing with these notes; before he can answer, Dante places him under arrest.
