Friday, July 6, 2018 (S56E68): Colonel Sanders

Maxie stops by to see Lulu; she tells her she is sure she is missing Dante.  She thinks they can help each other out… like they used to; Lulu smiles.  Maxie has a surprise for her; Colonel Harlan Sanders shows up at the door?  She asks how they know each other; the Colonel says that’s quite a story.  It started when the syndicate tried to steal his secret recipe; they tried to hack into his mainframe.  Spenelli helped him disarm the destruct sequence; he tells Maxie they are possibly still after it, and he asks if she has a secret place he can hide something – not a safe – just some place no one would look.  Maxie says yes, and jumps up to get a fake book, with a storage compartment; the colonel gives her an envelope to put in there.  He says all eleven herbs and spices are in that envelope; he leaves, and Lulu says that was the coolest person she’s ever met.  Cool as it was, though, she says, the best thing was hanging out with Maxie.  Maxie gets a call; James is ready to come home.

The scout comes back to see Peter… he is looking for his bugle.  Peter tells him he left it by the door; the kid says thanks and starts to leave.  Peter asks if he told anyone he was there; the scout says, “no… who would have believed me?”  He says everyone accuses him of making up stories; besides, he says, he isn’t supposed to talk to strangers.  The kid offers him a smore; Peter says he can’t eat it unless he unties him.  The kid says he has a badge in knots, and starts untying the ropes.

Chase asks to talk to Jordan; he tells her “we are ready for the next step.”  She says that’s assuming he gets “cooperation,” which he says shouldn’t be a problem.  She tells Chase that she’s afraid his plan is too risky; it puts a civilian in danger, she says.  He says Janelle Benson got away with murder once; it can’t happen again.  Nelle tells Michael that she hates that his mother is making him chose between them; he tells her he is completely at piece with his choice.  They are told they may have to wait up to an hour for her appointment; Dr. Nero is delivering another baby.  Michael gets a text from Chase; he tells Nelle it’s ELQ.  He gives her money for lunch and tells her he will be back in time for her appointment.  She meets with Ava at Charlie’s; she shows her the engagement ring.  Ava asks what her plan is, questioning if she is going to take Michael out kayaking.

Michael shows up at the PD; Jordan tells him they are discussing a plan, but he needs to decide if it’s something he wants to do.  Michael asks what he needs to do; Chase says, “you need to die.”  Jordan tells Chase, he better check everything three times to make sure nothing goes wrong; Chase tells her by the time he is done, this case will be airtight.  Michael goes back to the hospital and tells Nelle he wants to get married… today.

Jason and Sonny talk; Jason says it was a good move, putting Rupert on the payroll.  Sonny tells him they need to talk about some “old business” – Croton.  He and Jason go to Charlie’s to check it out; Julian tells Sonny he is planning some major renovations.Griffin tells Kiki they need to decide what to do; she says it’s already decided… they are not disclosing that they slept together.  Griffin tells her, if they get asked on the stand, they can’t commit perjury; he says Alexis needs to be prepared, just in case.  Kiki only tells Alexis about the hug though; she swears there is nothing else to tell.  Alexis tells her if she thinks of anything, she needs to know; “nothing worse than being left in the dark about something that will affect the case,” Alexis says.
