Monday, November 5, 2018 (S56E149): What’s Going On With You?

“Kevin” comes by the gallery to see Ava; he says he just heard about the news.  He says he can just imagine the “shock and awe….fullness” she must have felt.  He tells her he knows she didn’t do and she asks how; he talks about her dark sadistic sense of humor.  He says “this just isn’t your style.”  He compliments her “beauty, brains, poise and self-confidence,” saying “petty attacks can’t undermine the essence of who you are.”  She thanks him; she calls him a sensitive and intuitive man.  He steps closer, saying he would like to help her cope; she asks him to get her out of there… unless that blurs the line between therapy and friendship.  He says some lines were meant to be blurred.  She tells him she appreciates the way he sees her; she asks him about his last visit with Mary Pat.

Jason comes to see Carly; she tells him everything that’s happened.  Lulu comes over with campaign buttons, for Laura, Spencer and Kevin; Laura doesn’t tell her that Kevin won’t be going with them.  She does tell her that she doesn’t think she wants to do any more campaigning though; Spencer asks why.  Lulu tells her mom she better get back out there, because even if she won’t write her own name in, there is a whole town of folks who will.  She and Spencer convince her to go get ready for pictures; Spencer pulls out his computer when they leave the room.  He tells his grandma her she is still trending.  Spencer goes into the diner and tells Kevin what he thinks of him, calling him low.  It looks like he messes with the voting machine when they go in to vote too.

Jason comforts Carly after she tells him what has been going on; he tells her she has nothing to worry about.  She says, except that whoever killed Mary Pat is sick and twisted… and still out there.  He tells her she may have done the right thing this time by cooperating since she has nothing to hide.  She tells him when she was in Ferncliff she kept repeating “stay strong, stay focused… go home.”  She talks about the Morse code the guy next to her was tapping… and the fact that he was gone when they went to visit there.  Jordan asks Curtis to stay with her and help her figure out this case; they throw ideas back and forth and realize this is the work of someone with the need for revenge.

Sonny happens to run into Margaux sitting at a table at The Floating Rib; she says she is using the full authority of her office to prosecute, either the person who killed Mary Pat or the person who killed her father.  He tells her he knows a little something about her father and mother; he asks who told her Vincent was dead.  She says she just figured it out; she says she is certain he is the one who killed him, and it’s just a matter of time before she proves it.  He offers to stay away from her and her family if she stays away from him and his; she takes that as a veiled threat, and he makes it no-so-veiled.  He tells her, her mother is a widow “because she wanted to be.”
