08-24-2017 (Thursday) Things Change

Nina is on the phone; problems in Morrocco.  Valentin brings Charlotte to show off her new ballet outfit; Charlotte tells Nina she misses her and hugs her.  Nina says she misses her too.  Charlotte tells Nina she wants to grow up just like her; Nina tells her to do whatever she wants to do in life, adding that she and her father will support her no matter what.  Charlotte questions them not being married anymore and asks if things can go back like they were before.  Nina changes the subject; Valentin tells Charlotte her class is about to start.  Charlotte invites her to come watch her dance; Nina accepts the invitation.  Afterward, Valentin asks Nina about Charlotte’s inquiry.  She tells him she has made a decision and says she’ll give him her answer over dinner.

As Finn looks through Hayden’s office, he finds a picture of the sonogram; Anna steps in the door looking for Hayden.  She asks Finn what he knows about the diamonds Hayden got from her father; she shows Finn the diamond she got from Emma.  He says he knew nothing about it; Lucy comes in and asks Finn if he wants out of the contract on the house he and Hayden were buying, spilling the beans to Anna about Hayden leaving town.  Anna apologizes about going on about the diamonds; Finn laughs that the diamonds are really what brought he and Hayden together.  Anna fills him in on her suspicions about the diamond she has; Finn tells her he will find Hayden and then she can ask her herself.  Anna says it doesn’t seem like Hayden wants to be found.  She asks him if he will not say anything to anybody about the diamond or her investigation; he says he doesn’t know anyone to tell.  Anna says she can think of one person; she suggests go he with her to talk to Hayden’s father, Raymond Berlin.

The judge gives a stern warning to Julian for his actions and tells Scotty to restrain his client; Scotty apologizes to her.  He tells Julian he needs to get himself under control; Alexis walks in the courtroom; she asks how things are going.  Julian tells her Rudge’s testimony was damning, making it seem like he and his sister were Butch Cassidy and the Sun Dance Kid.  Scotty recounts the witnesses they have for the defense, none of which are truly reliable, including her.  Alexis tells him any witness he can call, Julian has hurt in the past.  She says any good they can do will be out done by the prosecution; Julian tells Scotty to put him on the stand and let him tell his own story.  Alexis agrees.  Julian takes the stand; Alexis watches as he recounts the events that led up to his sister’s blackmailing him.  He ends by saying that his daughter and grandchildren are safe, as is Alexis now, and if going to prison is the price he has to pay for that, he is okay with that.  Scotty announces, “the defense rests.”  Closing arguments are made and the judge retires to her chambers to deliberate.  They are called back to the courtroom within half an hour.

Jason tries to explain to Carly that things were “volatile” – she can’t believe that after twenty-four years of friendship, he and Sonny would decide to lie to her.  She is pissed to think they would treat her, like they treat the cops; she is more angry that Jason would lie to her than Sonny, saying they always trusted each other before and asking when that changed.  He tells her they now know what they have to lose; he says he couldn’t ask her to be part of a cover up when this is a life she doesn’t want to live.  She says she understands, but it makes her sad, because he used to know she was always there for him; she says she’ll get used to the fact that has changed, and agrees not to say anything about Sam’s involvement.  Jason and Sam leave; Carly tells Sonny he should have told her the truth.  He says he just got her back and didn’t want to fight; he admits he’s not perfect and Carly makes a huge deal out that.  He admits that he probably should have told her.  They discuss Jason’s newfound perspective; Sonny tells Carly that Jason turned down his offer to work with him legitimately on the distillery project because he was afraid it would send the wrong message, making it look like a front, like they were still in the business together.

Sam tells Jason she doesn’t know why she didn’t trust him; he says that infection was very powerful.  She says their connection was always so strong, she felt they could overcome anything, and this time it failed her and she doesn’t know why.  He assures her she can trust him, and she says she knows that; she just doesn’t know if she can trust herself anymore.
