08-22-2017 (Tuesday) To Tell the Truth

Liz calls Franco to tell him she’s off her shift; she wants to come to his loft to see what paintings where returned to him.  Ava closes the door in Franco’s face when he says he has a proposal for her; she says she has no interest in any of his hair-brained schemes.  He tells her, it’s actually her daughter’s hair-brained scheme.  She lets him in and tells him about Kiki’s idea, for her to sell his art; she says that sounds great, except she is never going to step foot in her gallery again.  She says it just reminds her of everything she lost; millions of dollars in art, not to mention her face.  He tells her his work is still in demand, especially since it’s still “up in the air” whether or not his talent left with his tumor.  He offers to up her commission, appealing to some extravagance her heart may desire; she looks over at Valentin’s business card.  Liz is surprised to see the painting Franco cut up; when he comes in he tells her he cut it up because “it’s ugly” – not in its looks but in the intention and attitude behind it.  He tells her he wants to grow and evolve for her, the boys and their future; she tells him to do it then.  He says he’s afraid that he might lose her if he stops pretending the man he used to be doesn’t exist; she says the past is the past and the future is theirs, and kisses him.  Franco tells her it means a lot to him that she believes in him, adding he doesn’t ever want to go back to who he was; Liz asks what happened to him in New York.  He gets a phone call; she starts looking through his other paintings.

An officer tells Dante that Jason Morgan was at the station, waiting for him, when the gun that was in evidence went missing.  Sam tells Jason she knows Carly is going to figure things out; he tells her not to worry about it today.  Jason goes to check on Sam’s paperwork; Andre comes in to see if she wants to talk about what she did while she was sick.  She tells him there is nothing to talk about; she was sick, and now she’s not.  He tells her it’s not that simple; he says hallucinations are like dreams – some are as random as pink elephants, and others can be manifestations of the subconscious.  Sam is confused.  Jordan sees Jason at the hospital and tells him that she wants to talk to him about an incident at the station yesterday.  Sam tells Andre that she used to think Jason could survive anything, but admits that she now worries about him dying and thinks she has to protect him.  He tells her that could have contributed to the hallucinations and suggests that she still talk to someone; she tells him he is right.  Sam comes around the corner to hear Jordan questioning Jason; she tells him that she believes he is trying to impede the investigation and says she will get to the bottom of this.  Sam backs up and goes back down the hall before Jason sees her.

Jos argues with her mother about being at the construction site with Oscar; Carly tells her, outside of school, she is never going to see Oscar again.  Jos is stunned; she says she thought her mother was okay with her seeing Oscar.  Carly says that was before she found out that she snuck out with him.  Jos excuses herself to the restroom; Alexis sees Carly and sits down for a minute.  They talk about kids, particularly daughters, and how difficult they can be, acknowledging what a hard time they gave their parents and then agreeing on what a blessing they are.  Alexis leaves as Jos returns to the table.  Carly tells Jos she has changed her mind; she can see Oscar, but there will be all kinds of rules to abide by.  Joslyn hugs her mother and tells her she’s the best.  Alexis goes to see Sonny, who is now walking with a cane again; she tells him she feels like there is always going to be some boogy man lurking around waiting to jump out and wreak havoc in all of their lives.  She tells Sonny that she isn’t sure their daughter is going to be okay; Kristina partially overhears and assumes they are talking about her, and accuses her mom of running to tell her dad about Parker first chance she got.

Alexis explains that they were talking about Sam, but suggests she tell her dad about Parker.  Kristina tells him they saw her in the park and Alexis admits she and Parker “had words.”  Kristina tells them she had her own conversation with Parker afterward and reminds them both that it is her choice whether to be with Parker or not.  Her mom leaves; Kristina tells her dad she can’t hate the person who helped her see the person she is.  Sonny tells her parents just don’t want their kids to get hurt; Kristina reminds him that we learn from falling and getting back up.  They hug.  Sam shows up at Sonny’s; she tells him that Carly deserves to know the truth.  Carly walks in and says she couldn’t agree more; just before Sam says anything, Jason walk in the door asking why she left the hospital without him.  She apologizes and tells him she has to tell Carly the truth; she tells Carly she is the one who shot Sonny.

Kristina sees Valerie at Perks; Valerie tells her she is waiting for a blind date.  Curtis tells his Auntie he feels like she is up to something; she says she just wants him to meet a new friend.  He reminds her that she wasn’t supposed to try to set him up; he is surprised to see Valerie.  They explain to Stella how Curtis “completely and utterly” broke Valerie’s trust by looking at a file when investigating a case (Morgan’s death).  She apologizes and they both tell her it’s okay; they make their apologizes to each other once more and Curtis takes Stella home.  Valerie sits down; Kristina comes back to find her sitting there and has a nice talk with her about mothers.  Valerie reminds her, having lost her mom, that time is precious and shouldn’t be wasted.  Kristina says she has to get back to work, mentioning that she is not only the owner’s daughter, but she is also the boss’s ex; Valerie says they need to talk because she has some dirt to dish.  Alexis shows up; Valerie smiles when she hears her tell Kristina that she is sorry for interfering in her relationship; Alexis and Kristina hug.  Curtis sees Jordan at the hospital; she tells him that she always loved him in that jacket.  He admits his aunt tried to set him up on a blind date, but that it didn’t work out.  He tells Jordan it’s because she didn’t set him up with her.  Jordan says she has to go and tells Curtis he should find someone who makes him happy; as the elevator doors close, he says, “so should you.”

Anna takes the diamond to an appraiser, who tells her it is stolen property.  She tells him she thought it was part of the Berlin diamonds; he says it’s not one of them.  He tells her it was part of a high-profile jewelry heist; part of a set stolen in a smash and grab in Central Europe.  Anna asks if they know by whom it was carried out; he says no, but tells her the authorities will figure it out.  He shakes her hand, leaving her with the diamond.  Andre sees her; he says she looks a little distracted.  She tells him she is just thinking about her next case, smiling with intent.
