Thursday, September 6, 2018 (S56E108): Let it Go

Stella stops by to visit Mike; Carly shows her to the porch, where Mike is talking and laughing with Kristina.  Kristina is searching for a job and disappointed to see little for non-college graduates; Stella says it looks like Mike is doing well today.  Carly says, “yeah, but it’s still early.”  Mike goes out with Stella for lunch; she gripes about Jordan and Curtis.  Mike tells her she has to “let it go.”  He tells her to think about it like a horse race; she has to decide how much she’s willing to risk.  He calls it “desperation stakes.”

Curtis is in a motel room, searching for more clues on Valentin’s behalf.  He hears a knock on the door, and the voice of what sounds like room service; he tells them to go away.  They knock again, and call out; he opens the door to see Jordan standing there.  He welcomes her in; he gets a call… the man he came there to interview is ready to talk.  Anna tells Valentin that her abduction was tied to Cassandra Pierce; he looks to be surprised.

Nina’s mother’s funeral begins; Maxie escorts her and they are both stunned for a moment to see that the chapel is empty.  Nina says she shouldn’t be surprised; her mom died and no one cares.  As Nina stands there, Obrecht shows up in a ragged old, baggy, hooded jacket; she tells her she needs to go before Maxie gets back.  She says a few words, trying to make Nina feel better; Nina hands her a few dollars and she hobbles off like a homeless woman when Maxie comes to get Nina.
