Thursday, July 12, 2018 (S56E72): The Will

Leisel gets upset with Heinrik’s “dribble” as he reminisces about how we never appreciate life, it’s value, it’s true meaning, until we are about to lose it all; she says this is supposed to be a publication worthy sequel with a satisfying ending.  He tells her, they both know how it ends; he finishes the story, she finishes him.  She tells him that’s right, saying no one is coming to his rescue; we see Nina’s call being missed.  He says he can’t even think right now, let alone come up with a story; she hears her voicemail alert and listens to the message.

Nina tries to stop Valentin from going back to the island; she tells him the Department of Environmental Protection is trying to get a hold of him.  They are quarantining Spoon Island, while they spray for West Nile Virus; he doesn’t believe her, until a man shows up claiming to be from the DEP and hangs up a sign, closing the launch.  Leisel tells Peter that Nina has set it up so that no one will be coming to the island; she sits back down with her notebook.  He tells her they are going about this wrong; he says she should be the main character of his sequel, because he focused too much on his father in The Severed Branch.  He gets her to sit down and start telling her own story.

Stella sees Sonny and Mike at the hospital and asks how Mike is doing; Mike tells her that Dr. Griffin wants him to take Tango lessons, and he needs a dance partner.  Stella laughs and says she loves to Tango; he kisses her hand.  He mentions Michael’s upcoming wedding, then starts recalling his own and gets emotional.  Jordan sees Stella and asks if she would have dinner with her and Curtis sometime to help plan the wedding; Stella says, “whenever you say.”  She then picks up her phone and calls somebody, telling them they should come visit sooner, rather than later; she says she is sure Curtis would love to see this person again.  Curtis goes to see Nina; he tells her he and Sam have a new theory about Peter’s disappearance, and asks what she can tell him about her aunt Leisel.  He asks if she has been acting suspicious at all; Nina tells him her aunt is brilliant, but she is also a “lunatic.”  She says she would be suspicious if she starting acting like a normal person; he says not to tell Leisel they had this conversation.

Sam tells Valentin she overheard his conversation on the phone, suggesting he learn to “take no for an answer.”  He tells her to stop snooping around Spoon Island, unless she wants to get West Nile; Sam isn’t sure why he says that, but tells him they have no more interest in Wyndemere.  Curtis comes back and tells Sam that Nina definitely knows more than she is telling them.  Sam asks Curtis if he knows about West Nile Virus around there; he doesn’t.  Nina goes back to the launch pad and pays the actor playing the part of the DEP agent.

Michael talks to Alexis; she says she is surprised he didn’t hire Diane to “handle this.”  He says, Diane is his dad’s lawyer; he wants his own lawyer.  He tells her he wants to draw up his Will; Nelle listens around the corner.  He says, after today, everything changes; he tells her he wants to make sure the person who means the most to her in the world is taken care of after he is gone… Nelle smiles.  Her smile leaves when she hears Michael say he wants to leave everything to his child; there is no one else he has to worry about, he says.  Nelle approaches him after Alexis leaves, and asks him, “do you love me?”  He says, “of course,” and asks why she would ever doubt it.  He reassures her they are going to be “so, so happy” once they are married and have the baby; he hugs her.  When he leaves the room, she calls her lawyer; she gives a hypothetical scenario about a friend, who got married and died without a Will.  She asks what happens in that case; Michael is listening around the corner now… he smiles.  She seems excited when she is told the spouse would inherit everything; Michael nods his head.
