Wednesday, July 18, 2018 (S56E76): Like Heartburn on Steriods

Jason and Sonny talk about Carly’s appeal; Sonny says Carly has made it worse by trying to stop the wedding.  Julian shows up; he hands Sonny a picture of Charlie DeLaney with his “old man.”  Sonny thanks him; he mentions his dad noticing Charlie’s picture on the wall the other day; he says that’s why he wanted to buy the pub – to possibly trigger some old memories.  Expensive price for nostalgia, Julian says; he tells Sonny he still isn’t interested in selling, but Mike can come by anytime for “coffee, on the house.”  Sonny thanks him and he leaves.

Kim brings Julian some brochures about decorating; he tells her this job as turned into more than he expected.  She asks how; we are taken back to Sonny and Jason’s conversation.  Michael and Chase speak on the hospital elevator; Chase asks Michael if he is ready for the next step… Michael says, “very.”  Chase wishes him, “God-speed.”  Kim tells Nelle that the baby is in great shape; she thinks the pain might be being caused by indigestion.  “Like heartburn on steroids,” she says, “when your pregnant.”  Nelle says she feels silly now.  Michael goes to Sonny’ and tells his dad and Jason that he is taking Nelle back to the Quartermaine’s; it’s time to move on to the next step, he tells Jason.  Sonny says it’s time they filled him in on what the plan is; Jason agrees, it is time to tell him what they are planning.  Sonny isn’t comfortable with the idea; Michael says he set this all in motion, so he has to stop it.  Chase comes back to Nelle’s hospital room; he tells her he just wants her to be happy and apologizes for the things he said about Michael.  She tells him he was right, about that anyway; she says she found out that Michael is planning to cut her out of his Will.

The new bartender pretends he doesn’t recognize Valentin, but Valentin can tell he is acting… he is noticeably nervous.  The man mentions being an actor; Valentin reflects back to the pier.  He grabs the man and asks who hired him; he says he doesn’t know her name, but describes Nina to a “t” and Valentine says he knows whom he is talking about.  He shows the man Nina’s picture; he confirms that’s who it was.Franco tells Obrecht, he knows what’s going on, and he is there to help; she looks surprised.  Liz asks what Sam and Curtis need; they ask about Franco’s relationship with Dr. Obrecht.  They tell her they think Obrecht is hiding Peter August in the woods; Liz tells them she knows about the cabin and Franco has told the police everything he knows.  They say they just came from the police station, and Franco hadn’t been there.  She calls Franco, to put their “doubts to rest,” but Franco ignores her call.  Franco tells Obrecht what he knows; without admitting that she has Peter, she spouts off about how angry she is at Dr. Finn for running to the police first chance he got.  Franco says he isn’t sure how Leisel managed to convince herself this was a good idea; he tells her when the cops catch up with Peter, they won’t care what her motivations were.  She says she has no choice but to make sure the police don’t find Peter; Franco stops her as she tries to leave, and says, he can’t let her do this to herself.  He tells her he knows what it’s like to feel rage and need revenge, but warns her she will lose everything unless she steps back.  She says she has already lost everything; he says she still has him.  She smiles.

Liz leaves an anxious message for Franco, then tells Sam and Curtis she’ll let them know when she hears from him.  Sam and Curtis see Valentin and asks he if knows where Nina might be; he recalls her telling him she had to take justice into her own hands.  He tells them he believes he knows where she is; he says she chartered a jet to Manhattan this morning.  After he leaves, Sam tells Curtis she can tell he’s lying; Obrecht knocks Franco out cold on the docks.  She apologizes and asks him to look after Maxie and James, complimenting him on being a “better man than he was” when she met him (although he can’t hear her); she says, she can’t change… and she knows what must be done.
