Wednesday, August 22, 2018 (S56E101): There Are Reasons

Drew tells Curtis he isn’t vetting this woman so he can date her, he’s going to date her so he can “vet” her.  Alexis asks Diane “why after all this time, would the mother reconsider adoption?”  We don’t hear an answer; Diane simply says that there are no red flags with the mother, so it is highly likely they will lose custody.  Diane steps out the door and looks; Julian ducks behind the wall.  Diane tells Alexis she really wished they weren’t going through this proceeding; Alexis agrees.  Diane says, “it could be worse,” and Alexis agrees again; she says at least their baby is alive and well.  Julian sneaks into the office after they leave; he takes a picture of a file in the folder on the desk.  He goes to see Kim at GH; she tries to explain to him the bond of a mother and child.

Michael tells his dad he stayed by the graveside longer than he meant to; he says, “I didn’t know how to leave.”  Lulu tells Peter that she will not be accepting his offer of employment, as she works for a legitimate company… then she asks Drew to help her save her job.  She says she has been bumped down to “puff pieces” and is wondering if there is anything he can do; he tells her just to keep doing what she does.  She turns around and goes back to Peter, asking if the position is still on the table, right in front of Maxie.  Diane seems to do her best to talk Nina out of signing the divorce papers; Nina signs them anyway.  Julian calls the birth mother and tells her he thinks they should meet.
