Dante comes home to find
Lulu, dressed in a baseball uniform (with a still, obvious pregnant belly); she
tells him that Charlotte is with Valentin and her mom has Rocco. Dante is thrilled they have the house to
themselves; they start making out on the couch. They talk about the last time they made love – three weeks ago on
top of the dryer – and Rocco interrupting them; the doorbell rings. It’s Valentin, with Charlotte; he says he
hopes they aren’t interrupting anything.
He tells them that he had something come up so he can’t keep Charlotte
tonight; he says, if all goes as he hopes, all of their lives will improve for
the better. He gloats that he may be
considering leaving town, if it doesn’t go well, and would take Charlotte with
him, so they should hope for the best.
Lulu tells Dante this wasn’t the romantic evening she had planned.
Nina tries to pick the perfect dress for her dinner with Valentin tonight; Nelle gets a call from Morocco. Nelle books tickets; the flight leaves in two hours. Nina realizes she can’t meet Valentin for dinner; she shows and tells him she “can’t do it.” He thinks she means she can’t come back to him; she explains she can’t give him her answer tonight after all, because she has to leave town. She tells him he is really sexy when he is frustrated, and says goodbye. He says she’ll see him sooner than she thinks, and gets on his phone.Dillon rubs Kiki’s shoulders and offers her a margarita, poolside; she tells him she has to study. He takes off his swimming trunks and throws them at her. She ignores him; he stands there drinking his drink – she tells him studying is now her job. He gets a call from Nina; she wants him to fly to Morocco tonight; he asks Kiki to come with him. She tells him she has to stay and study; he tells her she better ace that test.
Michael asks Ned if they can talk about ELQ; apparently he made a decision Michael is not happy with, while filling in for him, and they argue about it. Michael lets Ned know, if he is setting the groundwork for a takeover, he will have a big fight on his hands. Ned assures him he has no interest in taking over ELQ right now; Michael asks if he would be interested in coming to work for him at ELQ. He asks what kind of role he had in mind; Michael suggests VP of New Businenss. Ned contemplates the offer; Michael has to go pick up Nelle. When he gets to Crimson, Nelle tells him that she has to go to Morocco with Nina; he suggests he go with her. He says, if he stops in to check on ELQ’s North African holdings, he can call it a business trip. He asks Ned to sit in for him for a few more days; Ned says he’d be happy to.
Scotty tells Julian that he thinks it’s good news that the judge has come back with a decision so fast; Ava asks Griffin what he is doing there. He says he came by to offer her support; Julian is found guilty on all three counts. They decide to start the sentencing hearing immediately. Julian speaks, saying he accepts responsibility and regrets the pain he has caused his children and the woman he loves; he says the judge should keep him away from them. The judge agrees many people have suffered because of his actions; she sentences him to no less than 15 and no more than 20 years. Alexis asks the bailiff to wait when he goes to take Julian; Julian says he hopes his going away will help her move on and forget about him. He kisses her forehead and is taken away; Alexis breaks down crying. As Ava stands, talking to Griffin about her brother’s sentence, a news reporter storms into the courtroom; he begins asking questions to Ava about her injury. Griffin pushes the camera man and tells them to leave; Ava steps forward and yells at the reporter, saying he assaulted her and she is going to sue him… they leave. Griffin smiles, and says maybe he didn’t need to protect her; it seems the old Ava Jerome is back, he says.
