Tuesday, May 29, 2018 (S56E40): Carly's Plea

Carly pleads not guilty by reason of insanity, at the advice of Diane; district attorney argues to hold Carly without bail.  He orders her remanded to Pentonville until trial, saying, her plea by defacto admits to pushing a pregnant woman down the stairs.  Carly stands up and asks the judge what if she changed her plea.  Diane argues with her and doesn’t change it; she tells Sonny to fix this as they take her away.  Sonny tells Diane she better be right about this decision.

Franco and Elizabeth are picking a date for their wedding; they discuss the possibility of just eloping right now.  He says he thinks its time he meet the rest of her family.  Bensch calls Kiki into his office to talk to her; he shows her his evaluation of her, saying it isn’t too late to change it since it’s just a first draft.  He hands her a hotel room key and says if she wants a better evaluation, she’ll be waiting in the room for him at 6pm.  Liz asks Kiki for a chart and notices that something isn’t right with her; Kiki freaks out when Bensch pears at her and Liz notices.  She follows Kiki and gets her to talk; she tells her he wants her to have sex with him.

Anna explains to Finn why she feels the need to protect Heinrik now; Finn says he understands.  She apologizes for pushing him away and starts rambling on… he tells her to shut up and kisses her.  He tells her she is worth any risk and he wants to make the most of whatever time he has left; he tells her not to push him away ever again.  She says okay and asks what’s next.  She says she has kind of a mess to clean up; he says she doesn’t have to do it alone… he says he has a little mess of his own to clean up and asks if he could come by her place later.  Sweet; they kiss again.  I’m happy about that.  ;-)

Alexis asks Kevin if they can talk; she says she needs him to tell her why she is drawn to men who are destructive for her, or unavailable (like Finn).  She says there are so many of them, and starts naming names, including Jerry Jax… then admits that she ran out on the one nice guy she almost married, Ned Quartermaine.  She says she is a woman who thrives on control, but gravitates to men who make her feel completely out of control.  Kevin suggests regular sessions; he schedules her for tomorrow and tells her she took a big step today.  Peter demands his phone call, using Anna as a threat; Robert tells them to give him his call and throw him in a cell.

Franco tells Drew he would like to repay him for saving his life; Drew gets a phone call and says he has to take it and walks away.  He goes to see Heinrik; he asks what he could possibly have to say to him.  He says he can give him back his whole life, as Drew Cain.  Kevin sees Franco and asks why he hasn’t come around lately… he says he doesn’t need to, but Kevin insist he still needs to find closure himself.  He agrees to come back later this week.  Anna runs into Andre and tells him what happened; she says she still has to tell Robyn.  He asks if she’s told anyone else she cares about… Finn stands up at an AA meeting; Alexis is there.  He tells his story, and reasons why he used, admits he isn’t fully recovered and speaks directly to Alexis when talking about being careless with someone’s heart.  He apologizes, saying he hopes to earn her trust again.
