Thursday, March 22, 2018 (S55E244): Revelations

Franco reveals to Elizabeth, in a round about way, that Jim Harvey did something to him when he was little “tussling his hair, and rubbing his back” and telling him that “no one would ever believe” him, because all he did was lie.  Elizabeth doesn’t get it; she asks him to tell her what it is he thinks he’s remembering, cupping his face in her hands…she really should know.  Franco tells Elizabeth that he is pretty sure he knows, but he doesn’t want to admit it yet; he asks her if they can just go home.  His mother texts Elizabeth, saying that she is finally ready to tell Franco the truth about Jim Harvey.

Carly has Kim over for tea, with the alterior motive of talking about their kids… they have a nice discussion, right up until Carly finds out Kim is spending time with Julian Jerome, and Kim abruptly (but sweetly) leaves.  Nelle thanks Michael for being such a great birthing coach, and starts to talk as if they are still together, you know, since they are both leaving in Monica’s house.  Michael tells Nell that they are over and done with, for good, and decides to move out on his own; Nell protests that they need to raise this baby together.  But he leaves her coldly.  Carly is so happy when he tells her that he is cutting Nelle out of his life, she wants to celebrate; Nelle listens just outside the door.  She vows that Michael is going to be the one with a problem, and sneaks into a room, leaving a scarf on a desk (familiar ploy; remember the bra in the bed?)

Finn and Alexis are having a drink at Julian's bar; now that's not awkward, is it?  Julian gives Finn a hard time about his "lizard" and Finn leaves.  Andre talks to Anna, as a friend, and tells her that he thinks she is making a mistake by writing Finn off; they discuss other business too, and she tells him what she now knows about her son, vowing that she will find him (even if he ends up hating her).  She has to tell him about the disease he may have inherited.  As Andre leaves Anna, Finn walks through the doorway of the docks; Anna sheepishly smiles.

Sam brings Drew home from the hospital, as lovingly as ever, hugging, kissing him… adoring him and telling him how happy she is he’s okay.  Then after they get home, and he tells her how happy he is to be home, with her, she kisses him and tells him they “need to talk.”
