09-08-2017 (Friday) Secrets & Lies

Lulu shows up for a meeting with Valentin about Charlotte’s custody and is surprised, and slightly disappointed, to find out that Nina is going to be a part of it again.  She isn’t nice to Nina about it, reminding Valentin that she and Dante currently have full custody, but is pleasantly surprised to hear Valentin say that he isn’t going to seek full custody again.  He says he is offering joint custody; Lulu says she is willing to consider that.

Maxie and Nathan kiss while waiting for a “mystery meeting” – she gives him a hard time about the Ask Man Landers secret.  Amy shows up to talk to Nathan; Maxie makes sarcastic comments about their relationship, kissing Nathan goodbye and goes to see Nina.  Amy tells Nathan that he has to make that personal appearance at the book launch; she says it is buried in the fine print of the contract she signed and if he doesn’t show up, the book deal is off.  She tells him how much she appreciates all he has done for her and her brother; he tells her he doesn’t regret doing it and he isn’t going to stop now.  He agrees to make the appearance.  Nina is surprised to see that her appointment with “Max Jones” is really with Maxie; she tells Maxie she can’t hire her.  She says she can’t trust her; Maxie reminds her of all the other people in her life she has forgiven and asks why she can’t forgive her.  Nina says she might consider it, but she would need something more than a promise of loyalty; something big, she says… something Crimson needs.  She tells Maxie, if she does that, she could have a job for her.

Ava accepts a meeting time with Valentin; she ignores a call from Griffin.  She listens to his message though; he begs her not to let what happened get in the way of her recovery, adding that he wants to stay her friend and hopes they can fix things between them.  She picks up her purse and leaves; she isn’t happy that the table Valentin is seated at is in the middle of the room.  He makes his offer, asking her to sign a statement retracting her claim against him for Nikolas’ death; she refuses.  She says the tapestry is her offer; he tells her then she is wasting her time.  She says she knows he killed Nikolas because she saw it with her own eyes, and she won’t say otherwise.  He tells her she has a choice to stand by her original statement, put them all through another worthless trial and look as she does for the rest of her life, or sign the document; she considers it.  Lulu meets with Maxie for lunch; Maxie can’t help but notice Ava and Valentin.  Elizabeth comes into the chapel to say a quick prayer before starting her shift; she finds Griffin in there.  He tells her he has been contemplating the way he treated somebody; “clumsily” he refers to it.  She asks why he can’t just apologize; he says he has to do more.  Liz asks what it would take; he replies, “figuring out how I feel.”

Stella talks to TJ while he is working at Kelly’s Diner; she asks if he needs help paying for school.  He tells her no; he wants to do this on his own.  She says he reminds her of his Uncle Curtis; she also tells him it is time for her to go home.  TJ looks confused.  Jordan and Curtis wind up in bed (still at Finn’s apartment); they discuss being back together.  She says they have to tell his aunt; he doesn’t look happy about that.  They go to Kelly’s Diner for breakfast, where they find Stella, talking with TJ.  Curtis makes his announcement, telling his aunt that he loves her, but he loves Jordan too; Jordan smiles.  Stella tells him she loves him and TJ too much to make a fuss; she gets up and leaves.  TJ notices she left her phone and runs it out to her; she tells him she has changed her mind about going back home.  She says Port Charles is starting to feel like home to her and she thinks she will stick around a while.E

lizabeth wakes up panicked; she says she is late for work.  Franco tells her the boys are already on the bus and he called into work for her; he says someone offered to cover for her, and she needs to go back to bed.  She tells him she just can’t stop thinking about Jason, and says she really can’t stay home; he suggests she invite Monica over and maybe talk about Jason’s childhood.  Liz says that sounds like a good idea and she’ll think about it while she’s at work; she leaves and Scott shows up.  Franco tells him about Jason, and says he is the last person qualified to offer anyone comfort; Scotty tells him he isn’t going to make things any better.  He tells him about his father’s death, understanding that Franco never met the man; Franco asks why he didn’t call to tell him.  Scotty says he couldn’t see any reason to bother him; Franco says the reason is because he is his son.  Franco hugs him; Scotty isn’t sure how to react.  They awkwardly quit hugging and Franco asks how he is doing; he says, “not well.”  After a bit, Franco tells him he has been thinking about his childhood a lot; Scotty asks, “anything in particular?”  Franco shows him the picture; Scotty says it could just be a coincidence.  He asks why he would want to revisit his obsession with Jason; Franco says this photo has made him question everything in his life again.  Scotty suggests maybe he needs to talk with Heather Webber again.
