07-25-2017 (Tuesday) What's Wrong With Sam?

Jason tells Carly that Valentin didn’t take Spencer; he says he is going to chase other leads, and will call if he finds anything, telling her to do the same.  Carly talks to Jason about Sonny leaving the business, as he is using his resources to try to find Spencer; she says, ”when Sonny tries to go, he’s gonna leave behind a lot of unhappy people.”  Jason tells her they will find a way to make it work.  Diane comes in; she says Sonny has been avoiding her all day.  She complains that he has given Max a promotion to “interim manager of operations,” until he finds a permanent successor for the “Head of Corinthos Organization.”  She says this makes Max a target and asks why they didn’t tell her what Sonny was planning; they both say they didn’t know.  Jason goes back to search for Spencer.  Valentin shows up at Crimson, beaten; Anna asks what happened. He simply says he was indisposed… when she leaves he tells Nina what really happened.- Nina says he needs to call police.  He doesn’t want to because he is out on bail.

Anna heads to Kelley’s diner.  Maxie asks Nathan if she should have called first.  She says she is only in town for 3 hours and wanted to spend some alone time with him. She asks about the phone call, and gets a little worried about Nathan’s response – she mentions reading Ask Man Landers; Nathan admits he’s “glanced at it.”  Then he tells her, almost… but Felicia and Mac walk in.  They sit right down at the table and begin talking.  Anna calls Patrick and asks how Robyn is; she seems upset by answer.  “Oh my God!” she exclaims.  She sees Maxie and everyone else… tells them that Robyn’s having the baby.  She and Felicia go on and on and on, talking about babies; all the while, Maxie and Nathan are trying to get out of there.  Maxie finally tells them, just blurting it out; she and Nathan would like to be alone, and Felicia and Mac finally catch on and shove them out the door.  When they get alone, Maxie and Nathan begin to talk about moving, one way or the other – Maxie tells him she loves him very much, and says, right now, they are together; they make love.  Shortly afterward, she tells him her car is going to be there in a few minutes; she gets up and gets dressed.  Just before walking out the door, she asks about what he was going to tell her before her parents showed up.  He tells her its nothing that can’t wait; he kisses her goodbye once again.

Dante shows Laura Spencer’s glasses; she screams, “no…no.”  She is still sure it’s Valentin.  Dante promises her he will find Spencer, by any means necessary – they are still talking, when Valentin walks in to give his statement.  Laura asks Dante, what if he has done something to Spencer; but just then, Spencer walks in, announcing, “Grandmother, I’m free.”  She tells him she was afraid he might have been hurt; he says he is more than a match for the average kidnapper.  Laura asks where he was; how he got out and he tells her how he stacked up books and broke his glasses.  She happens to have an extra pair for him in her purse, which makes him happy.  Valentin and Nina look sincerely surprised to see Spencer; Laura tells them he escaped.  Nina asks Spencer to tell everyone that Valentin had nothing to do with his kidnapping, but Spencer has other plans.*Sam tells Sonny that Jason is not coming to help him, ever again.  Sonny assures Sam he is not taking Jason away; Sam says he always gets his way, but he’s not gonna this time.  He steps closer and closer, telling her that he doesn’t want to hurt her – he cautions her not to do something she can’t take back.  She says she doesn’t have a choice, breathing heavily, and about to cry.  Sonny tells her she is like family; he reaches out and begins to take the gun from her, gently pulling her hands down – it fires, hitting him in the thigh.  He says, he knows she didn’t mean to do this; but suddenly, her facial expression changes, “yes I did,” she says, as she kicks him off the edge of whatever construction they standing upon… he falls into a large hole.  Looks like maybe 20 feet; she dumps gun in dumpster.

Carly offers Diane a drink; Diane toasts Sonny getting out of the mob, congratulating Carly.  Carly tells Diane to tell Max how grateful she is… she says he’s always been a soldier, now a general.  Diane says he was always honest about who he was and does, and wanted; but says she would give anything if he just wanted to be a little league coach, fly fishing guide, etc.  She starts crying and says she just hates when he gets shot; she tells Carly she envies her, starting a brand new life… she says this is her time and tells her to hold onto it.  She tells Carly Sonny is only leaving because of her; says when they were getting divorced he was willing to let the world burn down around him, but now he has her back, he’s doing everything he possibly can to give her the world.  That’s how much she means to him, she tells her; she says, and he’s getting out without throwing himself into a 6-foot ditch (ironic symbolism).  But Sonny is more than six feet down, amongst wooden barrels and out cold, still bleeding from his leg, most likely. Jason gets home, and finds no sign of Sam; she walks in behind him.  He sees something is very wrong; her eyes red and watering, her face is flushed, she is breathing heavily, and won’t look at him.
