Lulu brings Maxie a casserole and tells her, “I’m
back.” She has decided she wants to be
a journalist and has written an article; they sit down to eat and she asks Maxie to take a look at
it. The minute Maxie does, she appears
to get sick to her stomach; when it happens again, Lulu suspects Maxie is
pregnant. Maxie argues that she couldn't be, but she knows that she could.
"Cassie" shows up at the Metro Court, kisses Nina on the cheek and says she was very happy to get her phone call. She sits down and Nina tells her she can “cut the act.” Nina says she knows all about the fact that she and her husband used to be involved; she says, they tell each other everything. Cassandra looks worried for a moment; Nina says she knows exactly what she was doing the other day when she ‘met’ her at the Metro Court, without letting Cassandra explain, and leans in to whisper, “and to be honest with you, I don’t blame you.” She says she understands that ‘Cassie’ was just trying to spare their feelings, in case she and Charlotte didn’t know about their her past with Valentin. Cassandra is relieved, especially when she also says she knows why she is there now, and only mentions her being there to be treated by Dr. Finn. Nina insists that they should “be friends” and hang out together; she schedules a lunch date for later in the week. After Cassandra leaves, Nina sips her drink and says to herself, “keep your friends close…”.
Scotty goes to see Julian; Julian says he wants to “talk about Alexis” and tells Scotty if he wasn’t behind bars he would wring his neck for having her come up there. He complains about his treatment by other prisoners there; Scotty tells him to just keep his head down until he can get him out. Alexis confronts Valentin; she says 'their' father is somewhere in hell, she is sure, "just beaming with pride over him." She asks him if he is the one paying Olivia Jerome’s legal fees, or if he is going to deny knowing Nora Buchanan as well. Alexis says she discovered a “really amazing co-incidence"; the same day he was awarded custody in family court, Nora was representing Olivia Jerome at her competency hearing… he says she was multi-tasking, but Alexis calls it “collusion.” She says it’s “just a theory” of course, but one she “might feel compelled to share.”
Alexis tells him he has access she doesn’t have; he and Olivia sharing the “same out-of-state attorney,” with the hint that she will tell Sonny what she knows if he doesn’t get Olivia to help her protect Julian. She tells him to do it by tomorrow or she will go see Sonny. Scotty tells Julian he’s got nothing that will help him get out of there at this time, and says he may spend the next fifteen years there; when he is taken back to his cell, the guard tells Julian he better watch his back tonight.
Nelle interviews for a position at the hospital daycare center; Laura interviews her. When asked why she left her last position, she claims it’s just because she loves working with children so much; she says she only took the job with Nina as a favor to her and never meant it to be permanent. She says, she hopes that doesn’t sound underhanded because she hasn’t told Nina she was looking for other work. Laura says she seems extremely qualified; “everything on paper looks just great,” she says. All the rest is a formality; Nelle is a little unhappy that payday isn’t weekly, but she says she’ll make it work – “the kids are what matters,” she says.
Valentin goes to see Nora; he says he understands that she was visited by Alexis Davis today. Nora acknowledges such, and says she wanted her to encourage Olivia Jerome to make a statement that would exonerate Julian Jerome; Valentin says that’s exactly what he wants her to do. He says he might not be able to keep paying Ms. Jerome’s legal bills unless she does what he asks; Nora says that’s blackmail. He says, “it’s a choice.” Nora calls the facility where Olivia is being held and tells them she needs to speak to her client.
Lulu walks in to hear her mother talking with HR about hiring Nelle; she tells her there may be some things she needs to know about Nelle Benson. Laura catches Nelle in the hallway and asks why she lied about being fired from Crimson; Nelle thanks her for her time and turns around to get on the elevator. She notices Nathan talking to Amy at the counter (and I see the wheels turning). Amy thanks Nathan for being such a good friend; he says it’s his pleasure. Nelle recalls overhearing Maxie and Nathan’s conversation, that they and Amy AND Nina would be in trouble if anyone ever found out that Amy was the one writing the column this whole time. She calls a reporter from the Invader and asks how much they pay for stories about celebrities, saying she has “inside info about Ask Man Landers.” Laura thanks Lulu for letting her know about Nelle, saying they can’t have someone like that looking after the children; Lulu tells her mom, speaking of children, a close friend of hers might be pregnant.
