Tuesday, November 13, 2018 (S56E155): The Truth Broke Her

Margaux asks Sonny why he stayed, he said she was in no condition to be left alone, and he felt sorry for her.  She gets a text, and so does he… she guesses his is also about Carly being questioned for the murder.  Alexis meets with Oscar, gives him tax forms, an application to take the GED, and insurance forms to fill out.  He says he doesn't know how to do all that, but she says he is going to have to figure it out.  Julian tells her he knows what she is doing, trying to show Oscar how hard it is going to be; on behalf of Kim, he thanks her.  Carly asks what information Jason found about her old neighbor; he tells her Nelle was in that room now.  She says, if that patient died there, they would do whatever they could to cover it up; she then says, if he were released before Halloween there would be someone else to blame for Mary Pat’s murder.  Jordan tells Curtis she has nearly ruled out Carly as a suspect, but the hair strands mean they can’t eliminate her completely.  She wonders if the real goal was to set up Carly, and why.  After examining the photos more carefully, they realize this is the work of a serial killer.

Jason comes to see Carly; he tells her he is worried about her… he believes the killer is setting her up.  They discuss who it might possibly be; she says it “doesn't feel like Ava."  Sonny gets home; she asks where he was last night... he tells her he was with Margaux.  Mike comes back in; he forgot his wallet and came back to get it.  He asks if everything is alright; Sonny tells him everything that happened in Croten is over... finished.  Mike doesn’t even seem to know what he is talking about; he says they are going to Charlie’s because Stella likes the eggs there.  Curtis comes in; Mike asks to see the engagement rings he just picked up.  Stella remains quiet; Curtis tells his auntie he wishes she could be there on the day he marries the woman he loves.  She says she can’t; Mike tells her that’s a shame.  Jason and Carly question what Sonny means by “it's finished."  Carly worries, Margaux may come after him harder than before.  He says he doesn’t think so because the truth broke her and he feels bad about that.  Jason says if she can't take her anger out on her mother, or Joe Scully, he is the next best thing.

Cameron asks Jos if she wants to keep pretending like they are dating; she says yes because even Oscar’s mom thinks they are together.  Cam smiles.  She tells him she really appreciates him stepping in and says she has had a great time with him; he says, he has to.  They decide to go get something to eat on the way to school; they stop at Charlie’s.  Oscar is working; he and Jos are cordial to each other, but it is obviously uncomfortable.  Kim tells Drew about her attempt to talk to Joslyn; she realized Oscar would see that as another betrayal of her trust.  Monica overhears them talking and asks for details; she goes to Charlie’s to talk to Oscar… she tells them about Emily facing a similar choice, before she was murdered.  Jordan can tell Margaux is hung over; she assures her she was not celebrating.  Jordan says she understands, after Margaux explains everything.  Margaux says she doesn’t know what to think, or do, with all this information; Jordan says, she thinks she does.  She has to decide if finally closing the case on her father's murder is worth sending her mother to prison.
