Thursday, September 20, 2018 (S56E118): The Man in the Wall

Ava tells Julian she is still angry with Kiki and Griffin; he asks her what if it really was just a mistake – a one-night stand.  She says, “what, like she just accidentally slept with him?”  Julian laughs and reminds her that she has been “accident-prone” a few times herself.  He compares the number of times she slept with Morgan, while Kiki was with him and says Kiki has been there for her, despite that.  Griffin is visiting Kiki; it is hot, because the radiator has gone out in the building.  Kiki suggests they go to a movie together; Griffin says he’s never been before.  Ava shows up to tell Kiki she is sorry, then gets pissy when she sees Griffin there.  Kiki tells Griffin her mother only believes in forgiveness when it comes to herself; Griffin tells Ava he is sorry he isn’t wallowing in the gutter like she wishes he were.  She gets ugly and Kiki tells her to “get out.”  Jason goes to talk to Julian; he tells him he better not threaten Sonny’s father again.

Mike tells Stella that he wants her help picking out a place to live; he says he wants to protect his family from what is happening to him.  He says he is losing more and more time lately, so its time.  He thanks her for being his voice; she tells him it is her honor to be his friend.  He says the honor is all his, and he asks her to remember how much he wants to remember her when he is no longer able.  Monica tells Brad and Lucas that there are some preliminary markers in the baby’s blood work that indicate there could be a heart defect.  Brad starts to freak out.  Michael visits with Maxie and holds baby James; she tells him she sees Nathan’s face every day when she looks at the little guy.  She says she can look into his eyes, and for a second, she has “both” her guys; she calls him magic.  Carly tells Brad that its okay if he needs to scream or cry while Lucas is gone from the room with the baby; she says, it’s only when every one is present that they have to hold themselves together.  He admits how scared he is, but of course, doesn’t fully explain why.

Monica explains to Carly that this is the same condition that Michael had when he was born, but she says, she doesn’t think it is going to require surgery; she thinks it will probably go away by itself.  Lucas starts to worry about what else the birth mother didn’t tell them; what don’t they know about their baby, he wonders.  Brad gets nervous when Carly suggests they contact the birth mother; he says they can’t, “it’s against the law.”Michael tells Maxie he would be happy to baby-sit any time, he says holding him helps him to think about how Jonah would have been if he had lived.  Jordan comes to talk to Sonny; she tells him that the gun they found in the wall with the skeleton at Charlie’s was traced back to Brooklyn.  She also tells him that they know Mike was living in Brooklyn at that time; she wants to ask some more questions.  Jordan gets a call; forensics has identified the man who was found in the wall.
