Curtis shows up at
Jordan’s with flowers; she is rude to him, telling him not to be expecting a
tip. She is cold and “not in the mood”
to talk, she says; TJ welcomes Curtis and leaves them alone to talk, against Jordan’s
objections. Curtis tells her that he
wants to focus on what they have and build on it; she says this argument is
right up there with the aunt hating her, asking him if he is going to work for
Sonny or not. He tries to explain that
he would not be “involved” in Sonny’s business; he would only be gathering
“intel.” He says there are certain
lines he won’t cross; she says just the association with Sonny crosses her
boundaries and says she needs some time to think about things. He says time out seems to be what they do
best and leaves.
Valerie tries to keep up the act when she sees Molly talking to Parker; she tells Molly she is happy for her and wants details later. Parker notices the security guard and inquires; Molly tells her it sucks, but it comes with the territory and it’s her life. Parker tells Kristina she admires the woman she has become and the way she goes after what she wants. Kristina smiles and kisses Parker; Parker says they can’t do this… she says it would be putting her career on the line again. Kristina asks what she has to do with her professional career now; she isn’t her student. Parker says she is “a” student and it could still be held against her; she says it is just not a good time for them to go there. She tells Kristina she didn’t want to lead her on again, sheds a tear and apologizes, then leaves.
Valerie sees Curtis walking through the park, shaking the floral arrangement he had gotten for Jordan. She asks if he needs to talk; he tells her he and Jordan are having some “conflicts, professionally.” She says that was what got in the way of their relationship too; TJ tells his mom he doesn’t understand her wanting to bail on Curtis again. She says she has a problem with him offering Sonny his services; TJ says she knew he was a private investigator when they got together so there shouldn’t be a problem. She says she doesn’t like the ambiguity of the situation; he reminds her that she used to live her life ambiguously. She tells TJ, she can’t do that anymore; she says she can’t lose him and doesn’t want him being put in danger. He tells her, he just wants her to be happy and tells her she’s the best mom in the world. Valerie tells Curtis that he shouldn’t make the same mistakes he made with her; she asks if he is willing to make a sacrifice for Jordan. Sonny calls and Curtis tells him he can’t take the job; Sonny says he understands, but then Jordan calls and tells Curtis to come back over. She says she was “rash earlier” and admits she loves him too and wants to work things out; they kiss.
Sam un-tucks Jason’s sheets and tells him she will tell the nurse it makes him feel trapped; the kids are coming to visit soon, she says. She tells him it only took half an hour to get there, and she will be there all the time, until he can come home to them; Sonny comes in. He asks how she is; he shares his experience with Michael when he was in a coma and tells her it will be okay. He says he came because he needed to talk to Jason… run something by him and imagine the answer he would’ve given. She says she understands that; then she tells him that her life with Jason has been “different” ever since he came back to her. Sonny says he feels partly to blame for taking him away from her; he says he thinks he knows how to start to make it right again.
Lulu is not happy to hear Dante’s news; she confronts Valentin in the Shriner’s hospital waiting room, quietly, but sternly. She asks what he did to Ava Jerome; he denies doing anything to Ava. Lulu tells Valentin he almost had her fooled; he says he is probably a more qualified parent than her, and says maybe they should agree to shared custody here and now. The doctor comes out to talk to Bailey’s mother and she invites Valentin to join them and listen; the doctor tells her that he believes Bailey’s condition can be treated with a brace. Ava goes back in to see Patient 6. She notices that he has blue eyes, seemingly disappointed. She tells him, she thought he might actually be Nikolas; she imagined a whole scenario where Nikolas was still alive and she would be the one to find him, saying she “sold out his memory for a new face.” She apologizes and says she will leave him in peace; he contemplates what she said (we can tell by his eyes looking around after she leaves).
A doctor, “Richard Kline” comes in to talk to Ava; he tells her he will be taking over her case, saying he treats the most severe cases at the clinic and she needs his expertise; the nurse comes in to give Patient 6 his “injection,” saying Patient 6 needs to be sedated at all times. He tells Ava the patient sees anyone who comes near him as a threat, and says he is a “formidable fighter.” Ava says she is interested, only as a distraction. The doctor tells her she could be one of his greatest successes and suggests she finds another distraction for herself, threatening (subtly) to send her away. Patient 6, despite the injection, tries to stand up out of his chair; Ava comes in and sees this. She tells him she knows he has been faking it; the injections have no effect on him. She says she won’t tell anyone, but he owes her; he nods his head. She overhears the doctor telling someone on the phone that he can’t give this patient “anymore without killing him.” Patient 6 stands up.
