09-26-2017 (Tuesday) Maxie's Plan

Maxie is disappointed when Nathan turns down her request to make love; he tells her he is just exhausted.  He is anxious about the upcoming book reveal, and tells Maxie he is concerned that everything might blow up; Maxie tells him she has been working on a plan.  She says his life doesn’t have to change tomorrow night.  She shows him her plans; she says it will all work perfectly.  Nathan agrees even Man Landers would approve.Sonny tells one of his men that a wrong number call on his private line can’t be a coincidence; he wants them to find out where the call came from.  Elizabeth tells Griffin she doesn’t understand his feelings for Ava, but whatever they are, she says, she is his friend and he can talk to her.  He thanks her for her friendship, still swearing he and Ava are just friends.Ava talks to herself; she can’t decide if she wants to try to get out of there, or stay; she overhears the doctor on the phone telling somebody that they need to come get Patient 6.  He says this is a clinic, not a penitentiary; he gives them until tomorrow night.  She sneaks into Patient 6’s room; she tells him she is very sorry and apologizes for getting him put in restraints.  He tells her she can; she is surprised that he can talk.  She talks about wanting to be a better person; he tells her to help him.Franco talks to his dad about the information he got from Betsy; Scotty says something still doesn’t make sense.  He thinks maybe there is something that Betsy is still not telling Franco; Franco says he doesn’t think Betsy was holding anything back.  He wonders if he would be “normal” if he had known the truth all along.  Scotty tells him that he needs to tell Elizabeth, even if he doesn’t tell anyone else.  For some reason, he doesn’t though; he tells Liz that the other boy was just a kid from the neighborhood who he used to hang out with; he says he moved away and Betsy made up the imaginary friend story.  Liz finds that odd, since a friend moving away isn’t that traumatic.  Franco says his mom did what she thought was best.Griffin goes to see Sonny; he apologizes if he is overstepping.  He says he knows he has “resources” for locating people that don’t want to be found; Sonny’s associate comes in and tells Sonny that the call came from St. Petersburg,. Russia.  Griffin gets a feeling; Sonny wonders who would be calling him from there… Griffin tells him he thinks it is Ava.  Sonny tells Griffin he really doesn’t care if Ava is in danger; he says no one pushes Ava do to anything she doesn’t want to do.  He tells Griffin not to waste his time with her and she doesn’t have a soul to save; Sonny asks if he has feelings for Ava.  He tells Sonny that is none of his business and resolves to find Ava on his own; he warns Sonny, if he does anything to Ava, he will have to go through him.
