Tuesday, July 3, 2018 (S56E65): Fireworks

Nelle goes to visit Carly at Ferncliff…she tells her she forgives her; Carly is stunned, and probably confused.  She catches on that Nelle is being sarcastic, and puts on a phony front herself; she tells Nelle she is working really hard to get back to her family… Nell says, “your ever-growing family.”  Carly gushes over the baby, and reaches out to touch Nelle’s belly, but Nelle pushes her hand away, sweetly; she offers to get her some water.  She tells her she can’t believe the time has gone by so fast… but then, she’s been very busy she says; Carly agrees.  Nelle tells her she won’t ever be too busy for her, though.  Carly smiles; Nelle tells her she’s been talking to Jos.  Although she seems to hope it will piss Carly off, but it doesn’t.

She says she’s glad Joslyn has her; Nelle says that’s good, then she won’t mind that she asked Jos to be her Maid of Honor.  Carly says, “of course not.”  Obviously shocked by the news, as Nelle flashes her ring, Carly maintains her composure and says she is actually very happy for them.  Nelle seems disappointed.  Sonny shows up; after Nelle leaves, Carly tells Sonny, “this is not happening.”  Nelle goes home and tells Michael she tried to tell Carly gently, hoping it wouldn’t upset her, but “no such luck.”  She asks if he thinks Carly will ever “come to accept her.”  He says she will calm down after the baby comes.

Franco meets Elizabeth’s childhood friend, Terri; he is surprised to see she is a woman.  He asks Liz, “this was your first kiss?”  Elizabeth smiles.  Terri tells Franco, she “went by ‘he’ back then.”  They sit down and have a glass of wine… Franco makes a big deal about how Liz could have warned him; she said she would have – it was a surprise to her.  Terri tells Liz she has a consult at GH in the morning; she is going to be working there for the Fall.  Elizabeth asks why Terri didn’t tell her she had transitioned; she says she wasn’t sure Liz would accept her.  Elizabeth feels bad that she would even think that and tells her, she is her oldest friend and she will always love and accept her; she asks Terri to come to the wedding.

Jos and Oscar go to the park to watch fireworks; Jake happens to show up.  He tells Oscar that he was her first boyfriend; he says he gave her a candy ring, and she ate it.  She laughs, “it was cherry – what’d you expect.”  After a short conversation about whether Jos is working at Lila’s Kids this summer, Jake decides to go back home.  He is angry when he comes in the door.  Franco and Elizabeth look at each other, as they sit on the couch, and kind of laugh at him as he storms up the stairs.

Kim and Julian go out to dinner; Julian talks about Leo and how he still wishes he could have been a father to him.  Kim reminds him he has Lucas, although grown already; Julian acknowledges that and says he can’t wait for his grandchild to arrive.  Then he tells Kim, he is worried though, that the birth mother can come snatch the baby back at any time in the first six months.  He asks Kim’s advice; she says some things are “just out of your control.”  She asks Julian if it’s hard for him to be with her because she kept Oscar from Drew; he tells her, her situation was different.

Sam has dinner with Lucas and Brad; they toast “to the baby.”  Sam takes Danny up to the footbridge to watch the fireworks; they run into Jason up there – Jason tells Danny that he paid to have that bridge built there.  Danny says that’s cool.  As the show ends, we see Danny sitting up on Jason’s shoulders, standing next to Sam, watching the fireworks display.  All of them are smiling.
