Monday, March 26, 2018 (S55E246): Town Hall Meeting

Alexis comes to see Sam; Sam tells her “Drew left me.”  Sam explains; she tells her mom that her choices are coming from an honest place, which Alexis says is good.  She then asks Sam what she is going to say when Jason shows up at her door; she says she doesn’t really know, but she does know that she needs to learn how to trust herself again.

Carly tells Jason the scarf she found on her desk was exactly the same scarf Morgan is wearing in that picture; she tells him it was tattered and torn, and appeared to have dried blood on it.  She wonders about the phone calls, and now this scarf; she says it’s almost “as if Morgan were here.”  Curtis tells Drew that he and Jordan found Betsy Frank; she is “re-cooperating over at GH.”  Drew says he doesn’t really care.  He tells Curtis he and Sam are through.  Curtis asks for an explanation; Drew tells him when Jordan tells him that she’s in love with his twin brother, then “you know it’s over.”  Curtis says Sam must be acting on some misguided sense of loyalty to Jason; Drew says that makes no difference.  He admits that he feels like punching someone.  Jason does his best to console Carly after she begins to cry, talking about how much she misses Morgan.  She says she can’t help hoping that he’ll come home.  Curtis tells Drew not to do anything stupid; Drew thanks him for trying to help, but says he can take care of himself.  Curtis leaves.

Moving quickly, Kim and Julian go from flirting across the table to joking about his pull-out bed couch, to making love.  He tells her that this isn’t going to be a popular decision with anyone else; she says she doesn’t care what anyone thinks… no one tells her what to do, or who to do it with.

Ned holds a town hall meeting at Kelley’s to talk about the damage done by the fracking-induced earthquake; Lulu is there, as is Monica, Michael, Nina and Valentin…and of course Olivia.  They point out that most of the destruction was to residential buildings, on the low-income side of town.  Ned agrees they need to rebuild, but he says they need to do more.  Ned decides that he wants to begin a PR campaign to promote the city as a place that people want to live and stay; he wants to re-brand, and to show how they are rebuilding the city as part of the campaign.

Sonny asks Curtis why he isn’t in prison; Andre tells him that the WSB wants him to continue his memory mapping research.  Sonny hits him up about helping his father, but Andre says he can only do his work for the WSB.  Sonny says they don’t have to know…but no matter how much Sonny begs, Andre says he can’t help.  He ultimately tells him that his ‘technique’ is useless against Alzhiemer’s; he can’t prevent it from burning away memory, language, thought and everything that makes us who we are.  Andre tells Sonny he is the one who can help his father; he tells him to keep those memories gathered up and tucked away, because they will be more precious than gold.
