09-15-2017 (Friday) The Confrontation

Anna finds Finn at the hospital and asks if he has given any more thought to her request; he says yes, and there is no way he is going to fly around the world to treat a hypochondriac criminal so that she can connect Valentin to her crimes.  Finn sees Elizabeth and tells her about the note he got from Hayden; she tells him she is terribly sorry about the baby supposedly being ‘gone’ and says if he needs to talk, she will cancel her plans.  He tells her he is okay, but thanks her; she leaves.  Anna calls; she makes it sound like she has an emergency, saying something about her blood work just being done.  He rushes over to her apartment to find her pouring tea; she says they have to come up with a plan for when he meets this woman.  He gets upset, knowing the call was a ruse; he tells her he is not helping her and he starts to leave.  She tells him he doesn’t have a choice; she hands him a file folder, with information about him in it.

Amy sees Spenelli and gives him the manuscript back, pretending it isn’t her book; he thanks her and then asks how she knows Nathan West.  She stutters and denies knowing him at all really, other than knowing he is married to Maxie, who she went to high school with.  This, of course, makes Spenelli all the more suspicious since he had just seen her hugging Nathan; he says he needs to get in contact with him about a case, and tells her never mind, he will send him a text. She tells him Jason is back from his testing and he goes into Jason’s room to comfort Sam.  Monica gets the results of Jason’s latest tests; she tells Sam they need to talk about it.  Alexis is with her; she told Monica they would tell Sam together.  Monica says they can keep him there a little longer, but sooner or later they are going to have to make a decision to move him somewhere.  Sam says fine; she is taking him home then.  She says she will get the proper medical equipment and hire a nurse and he can be at home, with his family, where he belongs.  They ask her to consider how much work it will be and how it might impact the kids and their family life; she says she has made up her mind.  She tells Spenelli, if she sends him away somewhere, that’s like giving up hope that he will ever come back to them.  As she and Spenelli talk, Jason moves three fingers; they don’t notice.

Curtis and Jordan go jogging; they end up on the docks.  Sonny happens by and sees Curtis; they talk a while.  Curtis tells Sonny, if he needs anything, anything at all, just to call him; he says Jason is a friend and he will do whatever he can to help.  Jordan watches from a few steps away, as Curtis and Sonny shake hands; she looks concerned.

Franco’s art show is getting ready to start; Kiki spent all day preparing for it since her mother left town suddenly, obviously forgetting all about the show.  Scotty is there to support his son, and his adopted mother shows up, per his request; she wonders around to look at the paintings.  Elizabeth comes in and bumps into her; she asks the woman if she is a fan.  She says yes she is; his biggest fan… and, she adds, “I’m his mother.”  Franco notices them talking and comes over to make a proper introduction; he tells his mother, “this is a person I love.”  Liz smiles; Betsy asks Liz what she does for a living.  Franco answers for her, “she’s a nurse” and Liz adds, and a mother to three boys.  Franco notes that his mother used to be a nurse too, asking her, “but just the one boy, right mom?”  Betsy gets noticeably nervous and walks away.  Franco tells Liz that’s where he got his social skills from, as he laughs; Elizabeth tells him his social skills are fine.

Nina tells Valentin she has to make an appearance at Franco’s art show; he tells her he wants to go with her – to show that he is able to be civilized to her ex, and to support her.  They arrive; Franco ignores them.  They aren’t there two minutes, when she notices the painting of the “two boys” and turns and runs out; Valentin takes her back home.  She tells him, she isn’t pining away for Franco or anything like that; she just didn’t know he could paint “like that” and it made her realize how much he hid from her.  She tells Valentin about wanting to have kids with Franco, him not wanting to, and then turning around to be with Elizabeth, who has three kids.  She says she can’t be in another relationship where she is lied to; Valentin asks if she is talking about them now.  She says it does bother her that there are things from his past he won’t share with her; but, she tells him, she fell hopelessly in love with him when he showed her who he really was inside. Franco takes a breath and approaches his mother.  He shows her the photo he has of him and the other little boy; he asks why there are two boys, then adds, “I’ve seen enough pictures of Jason to know this is him” and he asks, “why are we together?”  She tells him he deserves to know the truth, calling him “Bobby” and says she will tell it to him.  The episode ends.
