08-07-2017 (Monday) You're Still Alive

Sam dreams about her conversation with Sonny again, just before shooting him; she wakes up again, saying, “it has to be a dream.”  Sonny dreams about the same conversation, he reaches out to take the gun from her; he wakes up, looking confused.  Kiki comes to pick her mother up; Ava tries to avoid even opening the door, but Kiki insists she let her in.  She tells Ava she is taking her to a survivors meeting; Ava doesn’t want to go.  She says all she needs is a new bottle of vodka and another jar of olives.  Kiki calls Griffin for backup; he arrives.  He convinces Ava to go to the meeting; they escort her to the hospital, but she draws the line at being walked to the door, remarking that this isn’t her first day of kindergarten.  Sam sees her in the hallway.  Ava goes in, and no one else is there yet; Sam walks in the door behind her.

Sam asks Ava about how she was acting at her apartment yesterday; she asks Ava to tell her exactly what she said.  Ava says she can’t remember, exactly, but she remembers that Sam was talking as if Sonny was her enemy; she said, it was like she hated him.  She tells Sam she wasn’t acting like herself, at all; Sam leaves.  Ava tries to leave, but Griffin meets her at the door; she agrees to stay, but says the leader better not ask her to talk about her feelings or she’s out of there.

Hayden calls Finn and tells him she needs to push back their dinner plans; she says she is “up to [her] ears in fabric swatches and paint samples.”  Really, she is visiting her father in prison; they bring him in.  He says, “hello Rachel.”  She says, “hi dad.”  He apologizes for refusing to see her when she first came to see him, years ago; she explains to him how she had to change her name and start a new life because it just became impossible to continue living with her former name.  She tells him about Finn, and the baby they are expecting, and about her ex-husband blackmailing her.  She asks if he has any money stashed away anywhere; he tells her there is nothing left.

He says she has two choices; either embezzle the money from the hospital and pay Jared off, like he wants her too, or come clean with Finn and tell him everything.  She goes back to her office; Finn comes in.  He asks where the shopping bags are, and she admits that she didn’t buy anything, saying she thought they should make those home-decorating decisions together.  He asks her what she has been doing then; she says she has been looking at exotic vacations online, and then tells him she bought two tickets to “somewhere far away from there.”

Dante comes into Sonny’s room to ask some clarifying questions about what he said yesterday; he inquires about whether Garvey actually shot him or not.  Sonny says he shot his bullet proof vest; says, “it hurt like hell.”  Dante asks about the bullet in his leg; Sonny seems to be confused.  Carly tells Dante that Sonny needs to rest some more; she says these questions can wait until tomorrow.  Dante agrees to go; Carly walks out with him.  Sonny closes his eyes to rest for a while; when he opens them again, Sam is sitting on the end of his bed; she says, “you’re still alive.”
