Friday, September 28, 2017 (S56E124): No Limits to Love

Chase comes to talk to Anna; he tells her they have a lead on Obrecht’s whereabouts.  She thanks him for the message and he leaves.  She tells Finn she wants to go; Finn says he is going with her.  She asks him to stay and keep an eye on her son, threatening to sneak out during the night; Finn realizes he isn’t going to win this one and kisses her.  He goes to work.  Chase comes to see him and asks how their dad is doing; Finn says he is doing everything he can to take care of him.  Chase says he’s glad he is the one taking care of him, and thanks him.  He tells his brother Anna is going after Obrecht; Peter overhears.  Finn lets him know he isn’t happy about her going on his behalf.

Maxie asks Kiki if she would let her do an article on her for Crimson; Kiki is hesitant.  Maxie tells her she made a bold, inspiring, public choice and asks her to let Crimson celebrate that with a followup to #Ghtoo.  Griffin thinks it’s a great idea; he says you don’t have to chose between being beautiful and being taken seriously. He encourages her to do it and says, “you should not hide from how beautiful you are.”  She says she has to get back to work.  Griffin goes to Anna’s; he tells her he didn’t know where else to go.  He didn’t get reinstated at the hospital, and says after losing his privilege to participate in sacrament, he feels he has nothing left.  She says she is glad he came there. They sit down to talk; she tells him her mistakes hang over her, as do the crimes she has committed, but she holds on to the good she has done and the family she has, that love her.  She tells him his life isn’t over, pointing out that he spent the past year changing his life, and creating a relationship with Ava albeit.  She tells him he can rebuild, and points out her situation with Finn; she says you shouldn’t set limits on love because they aren’t yours to set.  She tells him he has devoted his life to serving others and its time he stop and figure out what he needs back from the world; she tells him to “figure out what you should be running towards.”

Lulu asks Felicia for an interview; she tells her they can stop at any time… she knows these are painful memories.  Felicia says, “I am the sole survivor of Ryan Chamberlain’s killing spree… I have to speak out for those who no longer can.”  She says she wants people to know the victims of Ryan Chamberlain.  Ryan, posing as Kevin, walks through the halls of the hospital with Peter; Maxie sees them and asks if Peter told him about his panic attack in the elevator and how he will only use the stairs now.  “Kevin” says no, he didn’t.  “Kevin” says he didn’t know Maxie cared so much about Peter; she says she doesn’t, so much… but she doesn’t exactly not care either, admitting, “it’s complicated.”  Lulu tells Felicia that her story, as Ryan’s victim, will run word-for-word the way she wants it to; Felicia tells Lulu they can’t take too long because she is meeting with Mac and Kevin for lunch today, proclaiming she isn’t Ryan’s victim, because she got away from him.  Lucy and Mac sit, talking at a table; she says she thinks Kevin needs their help right now.  She says, “that wife of his” (Mac interrupts, “Laura?”)… Lucy says, “yes, Laura.  She should be here.”  She says they have to lift his spirits because he is obviously beginning to feel the affects of her absence.  “Kevin” tells Peter he can’t wait to see Felicia again.  Peter calls Anna, asking her to “please stay safe.”  He sees Maxie and mentions Anna going after Obrecht; she says Obrecht means well, in her own way.  He tells her that he has finally realized it is better for her if he just stays out of her life as much as possible; she says she has heard that before.  She finds Lulu and asks if she told Peter to stay away from her.  She says she was just trying to help, and apologizes.  Anna asks Finn what he said to Peter; he says that’s doctor-client confidentiality.  She thanks him for standing by her; he says the pleasure is all his.  They kiss.

Ava finds Franco at the bar; she has a drink or two and begins to tell him about her day.  She says she went to make amends and tell Kiki that she means more to her than any man; when she got there, she says, Kiki was “half-dressed and together with my former boyfriend who now lives down the hall.”  She scoffs how funny it is that “their one night stand just keeps on going.”  Just then, Kiki and Griffin come in the bar; Franco says, “well isn’t this cozy.”  Ava makes a big deal about their being ‘together’ again, and Kiki tells Griffin “let’s take a seat – I’m done running from my mother.”  Franco tells Ava she should think about this because she doesn’t really want to hurt her daughter; Ava says whatever happens, “Kiki asked for it.”  Lucy and “Kevin” and Mac and Felicia enjoy their lunch; Lucy tells “Doc” that she knows when he is not himself, and insists that he let her help him right now.
