Tuesday, August 7, 2018 (S56E90): Gotcha!

Sam offers to help Michael clean up the things in his baby’s nursery; he says all he can think of is all the other children that could be using this stuff right now.  Michael finds the baby blanket in his son’s dresser; he says it was obviously planted there by someone who decided to double-cross Nelle.  Carly goes into the interrogation room to see Nelle (even though she is a fugitive at the moment); she tells Nelle that she messed with the “wrong family.”  Nelle looks rightfully frightened.  She tries to tell Carly how alike they are, because of what Carly did when she first came to town; Carly points out that she succeeded in her goal of tanking her mother’s marriage, and successfully seduced Tony “fair and square” – she says Nelle, on the other hand, had to drug Sonny to even get him in bed with her.  Nelle looks pissed and humiliated at the same time.

Jason tells the D.A. that it is her fault that all of this has happened to Carly, and says this is her chance to do something right.  He gives her the paper with Carly’s forged signature consenting to the electroshock treatment; he explains how it couldn’t possibly be Carly’s signature because of when it was signed.  He reminds her that she is up against Diane here; he says it could tank her entire career.  She tells him, if she is going to listen to what he has to say, he has to turn himself in… and it could mean prison time.  He says, “as long as Carly is safe.”  Chase apologizes profusely about the death of Sonny’s grandchild; Sonny tells him his idea led to “unintended consequences” which is a lot different from it being his fault.  He says no matter how careful you are, you can’t plan for everything – no matter what side of the law you are on; he says no one could have imagined the baby would a casualty.  He says it’s a heavy burden, but Chase is going to have to be the one to carry it.

The D.A. comes in with Jason, to find Carly and Sonny; she offers Carly a transfer to Shadybrook… she says it’s a preferable arrangement.  Sonny says it’s “so not happening” as he stares at a text from Diane that says: “Mission Accomplished.”  Sonny tells her that the judge just agreed to set aside Carly’s conviction.  Michael comes in with the blanket and says, he thinks he can help with that.  Carly gasps when he dumps the blanket out on the table; they explain to Margeaux what it is and how he found it.  She finds it suspicious and says it may have been planted there; Sonny reminds her that Janelle Benson has already been proven guilty.  She agrees to vacating Carly’s sentence; Nelle is brought out of the interrogation room, and screams “no, no, no, no, no” when she sees the crocheted blanket on the table.  Margeaux says she has Nelle on so many offenses right now, the blanket is practically meaningless; Carly says, “not to me.”  Michael says goodbye to Nelle; she screams at Carly, “this is all your fault… and I hate you.”  The D.A. tells Sonny that she should be working on bigger things anyway, like a case against him; he tells her to “bring it on.”  Carly and Jason tell each other they have no regrets; Carly jokes that they might get adjoining cells.

Ava is concerned about how hard this law suit is going to be on Kiki; it is has already been horribly difficult.  Alexis tells Kiki she has also been getting prank and lewd phone calls every day; four so far today, she says.  Griffin finds Ava and tells her they need to talk; he lets it slip that he loves her and she jumps on it, saying she loves him too; he confirms that he truly loves her, but says they still have a lot they need to talk about.  She asks if it can wait until after the trial; he says okay.  He finds Kiki in the hallway and tells her that he needs to tell Ava that he cheated on her; he says he won’t name names, and promises not to let her know it was Kiki.  Kiki says if he tells her, he will lose her and make her his enemy; she says it would be bad for both of them and walks away.  Scotty tells Ava they are going to go to trial; she reminds him that he is throwing the case for her… he says he has to put on a “reasonable defense” however and there’s no telling “what someone might be forced to admit.”
