Friday, November 30, 2018 (S56E166): How Can She Be Gone?

Maxie tells Peter that he should go, after they almost kiss again, luckily being interrupted by James crying… Peter sits down in the hall right outside of Maxie’s door.  He doesn’t want to leave her alone with a killer out there.  Julian stops by to see his sister; “Kevin” tells him Ava is sleeping.  He asks if he would refill a prescription he has called in for her; Julian says okay and tells him Ava is lucky to have him there.  He says he isn’t going anywhere.  Franco and Scotty come to see Ava; she doesn’t really feel up to company, but she agrees to talk to Franco, not for long though.  She shows him pictures of Kiki she is looking at on her bed and asks him to go.  Scotty is surprised when Franco comes back down so fast; he tells Scotty all Ava wants to hear is how its her fault Kiki died.  Jordan accuses Griffin of wanting Kiki dead to spite Ava because Ava ruined his medical career; she says that is motive.  Franco goes to the hospital, where he stares at Kiki’s name on the schedule; Liz sees him, takes it and hugs him.  Sasha tells Valentin that she has had it; she says she is ready to leave town.

Sam wakes Jason up, as he sleeps on her couch…she says its nice to see he still has those stealth reflexes.  They laugh; she apologizes for falling asleep and leaving him there, then flirts, then apologizes for flirting after asking him to wait.  He says its okay and they start to kiss again; Kristina walks through the door, interrupting them again.  She laughs… “we need to stop meeting this way.”  Sam can’t believe she’s just getting home.  She says she was volunteering at a homeless shelter, then stayed to visit with the people for thanksgiving.  Sam asked if she shared her story with these people; she says not yet, but she will… she questions how you can call someone your friend if you don’t confide in them.  Sam tells her she wants to go lay back down until Jason gets back with her medicine; Kristina tells her she wants to try something and attempts rubbing her head the way Daisy did Oscar.  Sam can’t get into it; she laughs and Jason walks in the door.

Anna comes in to see Griffin; he tells her “I didn’t do it.”  She says she knows and she will help him prove it.  She leaves; Ava comes in later.  She says nothing, and neither does he.  She is wearing a trench coat and rubs the pocket.Oscar goes to begin his trial treatment; Terry asks Oscar if he has any last questions.  He asks if it is going to hurt; she tells him they really can’t be sure of the side effects.  She tells him it could cure the tumor, or it could impact this health negatively and shorten the duration of his life instead.  Kim tells Julian she knows he was just trying to protect her from her own worst instincts; she tells him it means the world to him that he is there despite all that.  He tells her he wishes he could stay longer, but has to know.  He kisses her and wishes Oscar well.  Oscar is prepped and taken in for his first treatment.
