Monday, August 6, 2018 (S56E89): Nelle is In Custody

Ava talks to her brother Julian; she asks him to do a favor for her.  He asks her what’s in the bag; she shows him the baby blanket.  He agrees to take it with him to visit Leo, and he puts it in Michael’s baby’s dresser drawer.  They hope someone will realize what it is and that it will help to free Carly; Julian wonders why Ava is suddenly trying to help Carly, but does her bidding.  She tells him she feels horribly about Michael losing his baby; even though she doesn’t care for him, she says, “nobody deserves that.”  Michael sees Lucas and Brad walking through the hospital lobby; he stops to talk to them and Lucas introduces Wiley to Michael as his cousin (Michael is Lucas’ nephew by marriage).  Michael asks to hold the baby; he notices something about him but blows it off.  He tells them they are so lucky; Brad acknowledges that they sure are.  The guilt shows all over his face; Lucas asks what’s wrong.  Brad tells him he just wants to get home and spend some time with their son.

Carly is having second thoughts about going to Canada; Jason thinks there may be another way.  Sam tells him she hopes so, because she “needs him” even if she can’t define how; Sonny is afraid Jason’s plan is too dangerous.  Carly says she wants to try; it could be a matter of hours versus weeks or months.  

Margeaux runs into Drew at Charlie's; he tells her he wants to “clear the air.”  He tells her he knows Curtis was kind of acting like a “wing man” the other night; he lets her know that he “isn’t looking.”  She tells him she isn’t looking either, but leaves her number with him, just in case he “threw away the one” she gave him when she spilled mustard on him the other day.  She goes to the docks and says “okay I’m here”… Jason steps out of the shadows.  He thanks her for meeting him.

Nelle tries to talk her way out of her predicament, by telling Jordan her confession was coerced; she says she would have said anything to get Michael to stop the car before it crashed.  Jordan asks her how she knew it was going to crash; Nelle denies having anything to do with rigging the car… but Jordan plays the recordings of her ‘hiring’ Chase to case the car to crash after fifteen miles.  Chase tells Sonny he is sorry for what happened to his grandchild, and says that he knows its all his fault.
