What I Watched Today
(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)

General Hospital

Hayden is back at Finn’s cell with his works. He says he can do it himself this time. Finn says he made it through the night because of her.

Spencer is having a 4th of July luncheon with Laura and Doc. Laura wonders why he’s in such good spirits, and he says Nicholas would want him to soldier on. I might add that he’s wearing a gigantic USA flag-patterned Uncle Sam hat.

Nicholas brings Ava to the main villa on Cassadine Island. He tells her they have the entire compound to themselves and no one will find them. He says it’s a shack compared to some of the places the Cassadines own in Russia and shows her a gigantic book with the family history. Ava says she dreamed of being a princess when she was a little girl and she’s a bit jealous. Nicholas tells her not to be; they mostly just look good on paper.

Sam is still in London. She meets Jason at a pub. She checked in with her mother and Monica, and they told her to go ahead and stay.

Ugh! First nuNicholas and now nuMaxie, a brunette no less. Maxie is having lunch with Dillon and suspects he’s having girl trouble. She says it shows like a visible panty line.

Morgan and Kiki are on a picnic. Kiki reveals her bikini top and also her bullet scar, which I’m glad they made a big deal about because I thought it was bug bites. She covers back up, seeing Morgan’s reaction.

Nathan says Dr. Mayes death has been ruled a homicide. The same drug was found in his system as the patients who recently died. Since Elizabeth found the body, he questions her. She tells him Franco showed up after she found Mayes.

Obrecht is going nuts about all of them, mostly her and Franco, being under suspicion. She asks him if he needs an alibi, but he wonders if she’s the one who needs it. Franco thinks maybe they should be more concerned about a murderer walking around who has no motive. Griff says the motive seems obvious.

Morgan puts sun tan lotion on Kiki’s back – as she thinks about kissing Dillon.

A girl named CJ approaches Maxie. Maxie introduces her to Dillon. She’s there for a graphic designer interview. Dillon excuses himself. OMG – CJ is Jessica from One Life to Live. I sat behind her once at Shakespeare in the Park. We were seeing the musical of Two Gentlemen of Verona starring Rosario Dawson and Oscar Issac. Her castmate, Renee Elise Goldsbury, who recently won the Tony for Hamilton, was in it as well. How was that for digression?

Finn starts to feel better and thanks Hayden. Tracy enters because there’s no security whatsoever at the jail. She says she’s the bearer of good news and tells him about Mayes’s murder.

Griff says it seems like an angel of mercy scenario, but Obrecht says Bobbie and Lucas weren’t infirm. He says that blows his theory. Griff points out that Finn was in jail at the time of Mayes’s murder. Obrecht wonders if it could be Griff, but he says the worst thing they can do is start pointing fingers at each other. He leaves and Franco wonders why Obrecht is overly concerned. It flitted through my mind that Obrecht might be the culprit – I could see her killing patients for a higher purpose – but Bobbie and Lucas threw me off there too.

Maxie interviews CJ, going over her resume. They discuss how Nina turned Crimson around and CJ says she’d love to be part of their creative process. She notices Maxie’s engagement ring and Maxie shows CJ Nathan’s picture. Maxie thinks she’s right for Crimson and I think she’s Claudette.

Finn is surprised at Tracy calling Mayes’s murder good news. She says for Finn, it’s spectacular, and points out that he must be off the suspect list. He says that’s not the reason he’s in jail. She says she’ll have a team of lawyers negotiate his release immediately.

Nathan questions Franco. Franco says he’d been in the cafeteria. He heard Elizabeth screaming, and when he got there, Mayes was already dead. Nathan wants the cafeteria receipt, but Franco says he has a barter system with the staff and was there after hours.

Obrecht tells Elizabeth to get back to work .Elizabeth says she is working and Obrecht isn’t her boss anymore. Franco comes to the desk and Elizabeth asks how it went.

Jason tells Sam about what happened at the shed with Hux’s henchman. He says now he has to figure out a new way to find Nicholas.

Laura and Doc leave the table. Laura thanks Doc for examining Spencer on the QT. Doc thinks maybe they should tell him he’s being examined. Nicholas calls Spencer.

Dillon comes back to the table. Maxie hires CJ. This ought to be good. Not too comfortable for Nathan though.

Morgan tells Kiki things will be different now. He can’t party or drink or be too crazy, and he doesn’t know how fun that will be for her.

Finn doesn’t think Tracy can get him off, but she says don’t underestimate ELQ lawyers. She goes to see about his release. Hayden asks how he’s gong to get his medication if he’s not at the hospital. He says he’ll have his supplier reroute it. She offers to continue to help, but he says she’s done enough.

Nathan asks Obrecht for the schedules.

Sam says Ava has to return to his daughters some time, and that Nicholas will have to send for Spencer. She thinks they should retrace their steps, but Jason thinks they should check Cassadine Island. Duh.

Spencer chit-chats with Nicholas. Nicholas tells him to pack one bag when he goes home and be ready to go at any time. Laura overhears him saying “father” and wonders what’s going on. Spencer says he calls his father all the time, calling his voicemail so he can hear Nicholas’s voice.

Nicholas goes to get food and Ava hears a noise.

Sam says Nicholas must know that Cassadine Island would be the first place to look for him. Jason says as far as Nicholas knows, everyone thinks he’s dead. Sam says it’s a fortress, but haven’t they broken in there before?

Maxie asks CJ if she wants to come to the fireworks, but she says she’d rather prepare for the first day at her new job. She leaves and Dillon says CJ seems perfect for the magazine. Maxie suggests she might make a good girlfriend for him. He says he doesn’t want to mix business with pleasure, but Maxie thinks it’s really about Kiki.

Morgan says no matter what, he’ll stay stable, and he wants Kiki to know he’s there for her. They kiss.

Finn gets released. Tracy tells Hayden since Finn thinks she’s a decent human being, she’ll endeavor to do the same. Finn suggests they go eat something, but Tracy says she’s off to work on getting Finn reinstated.

While Nathan is talking to Griff, he gets an emergency call. A mystery woman has left a message for him to go to the MetroCourt immediately about police business. He thinks it’s Maxie and I think I’m right about Claudette.

Elizabeth asks Franco how he showed up just when he did and Franco says because she was shouting. He adds that he didn’t kill anyone and asks if she believes him.

Tracy approaches Obrecht and tells her that the prosecution of Finn stops now. Obrecht says since he refused to take the drug test, he had to be suspended per hospital rules. She tells Tracy that all his work had to be destroyed as well, because of his work with infectious diseases. Tracy is livid.

Finn and Hayden are having lunch. Finn gets a call.

Ava calls out to Nicholas, but gets no answer. She picks up a fireplace poker and Nicholas walks in behind her. She says she heard a door slam and he tells her it’s just a draft. I’ll bet it’s Hux. Or Jason. Nicholas tells her to sit down to a 4th of July feast and she gets bummed, remembering it’s a holiday. And they sure don’t celebrate it over there.

Elizabeth is juggling a bunch of sodas and food at the fireworks. Franco helps her and she asks if he wants to join her and the boys

Tracy tells Obrecht that there are grounds for unlawful suspension. She says she’s getting Finn reinstated immediately.

Finn says the call was nothing, but Hayden says clearly it was something. He says since he was arrested, there’s been a problem with customs and his medication.

Doc tells Laura that it’s normal for a child to try and reconnect. She says for a moment, she really believed he was talking to Nicholas.

Ava says she never thought she’d be having a 4th of July picnic in a haunted mansion. Nicholas tells Ava that the mansion isn’t haunted; ghosts are afraid to be there. He asks her to check out the wine cellar with him. As soon as they’re gone, Jason and Sam walk in.

Nathan goes into the room at the MetroCourt. Yep, I was right. CJ is there and he calls her “Claudette.”

Tomorrow, Sonny is worried about Alexis, Claudette tells Nathan there’s something he needs to know, and Alexis asks Julian if he’s going to confess.

Below Deck Mediterranean

Bobby feels badly about kissing Hannah, since his feelings are stronger for Julia. What’s wrong with this picture? Oh yeah, Julia made it clear she has a boyfriend and isn’t interested in him.

The captain orders a MediVac to get Danny off the boat. Nothing they’re doing is bringing his fever down and he needs real medical attention. Regardless, as Ben says, the show must go on, and he makes more fabulous food. Bryan updates Jen as to what is going on, and she’s going to accompany him to the mainland.

The jeweler has arrived! He has some interesting pieces, although they’re a little big and chunky for me. Julia and Tiffany set a gorgeous table for dinner. Lots of drinking and revelry, although much more reasonable than most of the charters. No foam parties or anything. The guests request that the captain join them for dessert. It’s some kind of lemon coconut thing that looks like a dream. Captain Mark says he enjoys interacting with the guests on a limited basis (i.e. not making out and taking pictures). We find out that he’s been married for 16 years. The way we find this out is when he says he just celebrated his 16th anniversary, and then Linda, the primary, asks him how long he’s been married. Hannah says at least this group is super polite when they’re drunk.

Bobby (which I almost typo-ed as “Booby,” which might be more accurate) hopes Danny is fine, but says things are a lot quieter without him. From the preview before the commercial, it looks like the next group of guests is going to make up for all the quietness and politeness.

Jen and Danny come back. He has gastro-something. He’s is on antibiotics and goes back to bed. Bryan shows Jen how to do knots his way again. Bobby and Ben discuss whether Danny should get tipped for this charter or not. The general consensus is, no work, no tip. Ben tells Danny he should forfeit his tip before the fact, so he’ll look a little better. Even though he hates not sending money home, Danny tells the captain that since he caused more work for the crew, he’d like to forego the tip, and the captain says he’ll take it under advisement. Everyone is sad seeing the guests leave since they behaved like humans and treated the crew likewise.

The captain tells the crew about Danny’s forfeiture. The tip is the largest so far – 20,000 Euros – 1800 USD each.

The next charter is a group of friends who have been together for years and expect five-star treatment. They want a theme costume party and Hannah suggests a Venetian party. Captain Mark asks how the communication has been going with Hannah and Ben. They’ve come up with a system and everything is copacetic…for now. Wow. No break this time between charters.

Danny surrenders his phone. Julia and Ben talk about their backgrounds. Julia says she could tell that Ben came from a privileged and educated background. She says that private school boys have an air of self-righteousness about them, but I figured he was like that just because he’s a chef. Bryan checks to see if Danny has his list. Both he and Bobby pick on Danny even though he’s still not totally recovered. Bobby goes on about how Danny got his phone taken away from him and Danny just wants to get back to work. Danny complains to Ben about the list thing and Ben tells him to try to avoid any conflict. Danny says he’s going to have to be fake, which he hates.

The guests arrive. Hannah thinks they look high maintenance and misses the last guests already. She gives them the tour. She says normally it takes less than ten minutes and an hour into the charter, she’s over it. She’s having difficulty getting them to listen to any safety instruction. Ben tells her if they stick together and be cool, they’ll get through it.

Tiffany compares the charter to a frat house. Yep. And totally undeserving of the amazing snacks Ben has created. Okay, one of the guests is down already, having slipped off of the bar and onto the floor, so drunk that she can barely make it to the lounge chair. She asks Tiffany to help her get to the cabin to put on her bikini. One of the primaries complains that the trouble with drunk guests is that they take attention away from the rest of them.

Hannah has to tell Ben that only one guest is still moving around and some of them might not make dinner. Once again, I think, all the wrong people have the money. Danny asks if he can go on a jet ski and check out some caves since the guests are down for the count. Bryan asks if he thinks he’s at Club Med.

The first guest who comes back to life asks for a drink and in her interview, Julia is like, he just got done sleeping the first ones off. Bleh. The guests that are lucid sit down for dinner and put on their Venetian masks, demanding more vodka. They keep hassling Hannah. In her interview, she suggests one of them should just tattoo “dickhead” on his forehead. They’re all more interested in alcohol than food.

Bryan bugs Jen about the knots again. He wants her to tie one right now. She says she might not be the best deckhand he’s had, but neither is he the best first mate she’s had. He says at the end of the day, she works for him though. She tells him she’ll get the knot thing, and doesn’t need his help.

The guests are pretty disgusting, with one guy sitting there swilling liquor and shoving food in his mouth while he’s not wearing a shirt. Seriously, no way would I spend this kind of money to be an a-hole. You can do that for free.

Bryan tells Bobby about Danny asking to go exploring and says they should have gotten rid of him in the beginning. Bryan complains about Jen next. At the same time, Danny and Jen confer. Danny says he hopes his work will speak for itself. He’s bummed that he’s cruising the Mediterranean and can’t take any pictures. Maybe he should get a disposable camera the next time they go to port. He says if you don’t have any picture to post on social media, it’s like you didn’t do it, and that makes me sad.

Julia brings the guests breakfast. The guests make fun of her accent. Nice. If that was me, they’d be wearing that omelette. In her interview, she wonders if they realize she’s right in front of them. Here’s news for you, Julia, they don’t care.

One of the drunks guests asks the captain about going ashore to do a hike. Frankly, I’m not sure he’s in good enough shape to hike to the bar a deck away. He tells Captain Mark that a couple of the drunks guests aren’t getting along with Hannah. This seems like a weird time to bring this up, since she’s having the other two pinch hit for her. The really good news is, they’re extending the charter for two more nights.

The captain calls Ben, Hannah and Bryan to the bridge to tell them. He tells Hannah the drunks guests have perceived she’s not into them. She says they’re vulgar and disgusting, and she can only be pushed so far before it’s apparent she’s not thrilled.

Next time, Julia calls her boyfriend, Danny goes hiking with Bryan who takes pictures with his phone, Julia confronts Ben about his condescending attitude, making him cry. What?

Southern Charm – Reunion Part Two

Andy asks Kathryn if she wants to clear anything up about her relationship with Thomas. She says she only wants to have peace and co-parent in a sane manner, and thinks his offer wasn’t fair. She says she did a detailed budget and it doesn’t compare to what he’s offering. Thomas counters with hus desire to do more than what’s fair and says she’ll be comfortable. Kathryn surprises us by saying that at one point, Thomas designed a ring. When asked by someone on social media why she doesn’t work, Kathryn says she’s been putting together some vintage jewelry pieces. She says one of them is the necklace she’s wearing, which I gave her props on last time. Landon laughs because she’s an idiot who doesn’t have a creative bone in her body.

They discuss the polo match. Andy asks why Kathryn was so upset. Kathryn says she saw an old Thomas enabler, who she felt was inappropriate to be around Kensie. A viewer suggests she faked a pregnancy complication to get him to co-sign on the house, but even Thomas disagrees. Landon still thinks she’s a psychopath trying to manipulate all of them. Andy points out the plethora of negative social comments Landon has gotten. Craig says something so complicated to justify what Landon says, I can’t even comprehend it. Thomas says he has a Downs Syndrome brother and he’s proud that Kathryn decided to carry the baby to term despite there being complications. Craig thinks Thomas and Kathryn are going to end up together and Shep compares them to Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. Huh?

Jennifer joins the group. She’s pregnant with her first child. They joke that the father is Thomas. She talks about how supportive Kathryn has been. Andy asks how they became friends and she says the three of them were close friends in the beginning. She explains that she went out with Thomas a couple of times when Kathryn and Thomas were broken up. Andy asks if they slept together and Jennifer tells him that she’s never going to answer a question like that. Shep brings up that the implications with Jennifer don’t bother Kathryn, but she’s bothered by Landon.

Jennifer says the way Kathryn reacts might not be right, but Landon definitely likes to push her buttons. Jennifer says she can’t say she’s not involved with Thomas and then post pictures that are incendiary. Kathryn says her problem with the whole thing is that it’s intentional. The women all start talking at once and Andy moves on.

Andy brings up Thomas being a bully to Jennifer at the party. He suggests Thomas can be more hormonal than Kathryn. Jennifer says she didn’t call Kathryn to upset her, but to absolve herself. Andy brings up when Thomas tried to put the kibosh on the Kathryn/ Jennifer friendship. Jennifer says she didn’t realize that Thomas had made an ultimatum, and Kathryn says she felt pressured to placate him. Jennifer says it hurt her feelings, but if it meant Thomas and Kathryn’s relationship would do better, she can live with it. Thomas says that he has a lot of respect for Jennifer now. Jennifer tears up. Thomas gives her a hanky. (Ha-ha! Spellcheck would like to change that to “honky.”) She says the support means a lot since the only thing that matters is her child. She says she understands now about Kathryn being emotional when she was pregnant and Thomas trying to keep her calm. Andy asks if she has any final thoughts. She says both Kathryn and Thomas work well together when they try and care about their kids more than themselves.

Exit Jennifer and on to Whitney. He says he’s main base is in Los Angeles now. Andy asks about Larissa. He asks about them breaking up, but Whitney uses the euphemism “taking a break.” He says he’s hoping for the best, but he doesn’t know. That’s vague. Andy asks how the friendship with Thomas stands. Whitney says he hears more from Thomas when he and Kathryn aren’t together, but they’re still bros.

They talk about the Southern dinner party from hell. Thomas tries to use the word pandemonium and can’t pronounce it. Kathryn says there was definitely a grain of truth in what Thomas said. Thomas explains that while he didn’t invite Whitney, he invited Landon in hopes that she and Kathryn would get along. We see Thomas’s window escape again, and Kathryn explains that she wanted to fix things with Landon on her own and not involve Thomas. Andy asks why Cameran went to the dinner party when she was avoiding them all season. She claims she wanted to let them prove that they could all get along. We see how well that worked.

We see the clip of Thomas insulting Cameran. She says she was “terrified,” since she’d never been spoken to that way. Grow up. Cameran says she lives her life by a certain standard and can probably work on her judgmental nature. They laugh about Craig not knowing what sanctimonious meant.

Moving on to Landon, who claims she was glad to hear Thomas stand up for Kathryn, who rolls her eyes. Landon says she never knew someone where the paternity had to be questioned, but apologizes. Not accepted. Kathryn says she feels that for once, Thomas was being honest. Thomas says his intentions were good. Shep says it takes two to tango, and you can’t be friends with someone who upsets one of a couple.

Andy brings up that it’s the second time Thomas went after Shep for being a momma’s boy. Shep says there’s a certain amount of nepotism that Thomas has benefited from too. Thomas says emotions are dangerous and feelings are to be felt, not acted upon. Shep applauds his epiphany. He says he didn’t live up to the Ravenel standard. Andy pries into Thomas and Kathryn’s business by asking if they spent the dinner party night together. Kathryn skirts the question, saying she just wanted Thomas to calm down. Thomas retracts everything he said and Cameran concurs that he called everyone afterward.

Cameran is called on the carpet about being on The Real World and hosting a Girls Gone Wild segment, the latter a surprise to all of us. She says she didn’t know what she was doing, but Shep thinks it’s awesome. Apparently, Landon was almost on The Hills and talks nonsense. Andy moves on to Kathryn’s dislike for Landon. She says the things Landon has said weigh heavy on someone who’s a mother. Cameran calls Kathryn “reactionary” and I wonder who uses that term in 2016.

Landon brings up Kathryn calling Thomas’s nanny out for domestic abuse and says that’s how he lost the campaign. Hahahahahahaha! Yeah. The fact that he went to prison for drug trafficking and didn’t exactly have a squeaky clean image had nothing to do with it. Andy brings up Landon and Thomas getting together, and how Thomas tried to appease Kathryn by keeping it from her. Kathryn says it hurt her feelings and she felt betrayed. They discuss Kathryn’s confrontation of Landon at the Founder’s Ball. Kathryn talks about how disrespectful Landon was and how she’s never accountable. Craig says there still isn’t a source for the animosity. Kathryn points to Landon and Thomas going out when she was pregnant. Landon claims that they never even held hands, but Kathryn says she knows better.

Andy asks Kathryn what she thinks happened. She says Landon initiated something and that Thomas told her that Landon wanted to make it look like they were together. Whitney claims Thomas told him he tried with Landon. We see the clips from Watch What Happens Live with Shep and Craig alluding to the fact it happened. Craig says he said he didn’t know because he didn’t know.

Andy brings up the end of the finale where Landon’s friend, Robyn, said that Landon and Thomas slept together. Cameran thinks Thomas can’t keep a secret, but Kathryn disagrees. Thomas claims any time he’s lied to Kathryn, he’s confessed, but Kathryn begs to differ. Andy asks if it even matters, and Kathryn says it doesn’t, but she wanted to know the truth. Landon says she never had sex with Thomas, but even if she had, he and Kathryn weren’t together at the time. Landon claims she never lies. Hello? Shep’s party?

Kathryn says she doesn’t trust any of them, except Craig and maybe Shep a little.

Andy says it’s been an eye-opening season and thanks everyone. Landon says she’s tired of defending herself. Cameran says she thinks they’ve had positive conversation and we see Kathryn and Whitney hugging it out during the break. Kathryn says they don’t need to hate each other and Whitney wants them to be friends for the kids’ sake. Shep is hoping to stay in Charleston and wants the best for the kids. Andy says Craig has changed a bit. Thomas says it’s important that he and Kathryn be good friends and allies for the kids.

Drinks are served. Shep gives a toast saying they understand each other in a way that no one else can and he loves everyone. They toast to Charleston.

The Haves and the Have Nots

DA Jennifer is pretty freaked about Wyatt’s death. She mentions the inheritance she let him have and says it was like putting drugs in his hand. Blake suggests she blame his parents or the drug dealer. He asks if she’s going to tell his parents and she says she can’t even look at them. Blake says he’ll do it.

Benny takes Hannah to Candace’s house. He tells her to calm down. Hannah is livid about Candace putting Quincy Jr. in foster care, even though it’s temporary. They argue and nosy neighbor tells Hannah she can call the police. Benny says, “Old lady, go to bed,” and makes me laugh. Hannah makes him apologize. Nosy alludes to Candace being a prostitute. She tells Benny if he doesn’t move his truck, she’ll call the police. Benny says he’ll move his damn truck when he wants to, but Hannah makes him apologize again and tells him to move the truck.

Nosy thanks Hannah and tells her not to go over to Candace’s. She says she saw a man go in and never come out, and there are visitors all day and all night. She also gives her two cents about the house design. Hannah tells her that Candace is her daughter. Nosy says she’s sorry and Hannah says she is too. Finally, we find out that Nosy’s name is Pearl. She tells Hannah about Quincy and how he came there and never came back out. She prattles on and says she has a picture of him from her camera, which she says she has trained on Candace’s house. She says she has a lot of policemen in her family. She asks if Hannah would like to see the picture and Hannah says yes. Pearl tells her not to show the guy she’s with and Hannah says that’s her son. Pearl runs inside like there’s a fire happening.

Hannah marches over to Benny. She tells him it’s late and they don’t know where Quincy Jr. is. She walks past him and knocks on Candace’s door. She confronts Candace about putting Quincy Jr. in foster care. Candace tells Benny to take Hannah home. Hannah asks if it’s because Quincy was there and tells Candace about Pearl having a picture of him. She asks if Candace is scared and tells Candace to let her or Benny take her son. Hannah asks a bunch of questions and Candace tells her that Quincy Jr. is with a preacher and his wife. She says he’ll only be there a short time. Hannah is concerned about Quincy coming back and begs Candace to let her have Quincy Jr. Candace tells them good-night and closes the door. Benny finally gets Hannah to leave while Pearl watches from the window.

Landon reads the article about Maggie to Jeffrey. Landon says he knows his mother must have lured Maggie there on purpose. Jeffrey starts to read it, but Landon takes his phone back. He says he doesn’t trust anyone and they’re all crazy. He says every one of them is always up to something and starts packing. He tells Jeffrey to get out.

Benny tells Hannah that Pearl is nuts. Hannah wonders how she would see Quincy go in , but not go out. Benny says maybe she just didn’t see him leave, but Hannah says she has cameras. She says someone like that has nothing better to do than sit around and watch everything. She wonders why Candace would even let Quincy in and then wonders why Benny isn’t upset. He says he knows Candace wouldn’t let Quincy in and tells Hannah to go to bed. She says it doesn’t make sense and asks why Benny keeps looking at his phone. He says he’s waiting for a text.

Hannah says David came to see her about Benny and asks if he’s still messing around with Veronica. He says no. She tells him he’s in the middle of fire if he still is. She says Veronica will use Benny up to get back at David. She thinks of how much alike Candace and Veronica are and then asks if Benny thinks Candace did something to Quincy. Benny says Pearl has Hannah talking crazy and she needs to let it go. Hannah says she hopes Candace is telling the truth that Quincy Jr. is safe because she lies when the truth will do.

Hannah wonders if Candace gave her son to Quincy. Benny says to give Candace some credit. He tells Hannah that Quincy Jr. is fine and to go to bed.

Benny texts Candace, telling her to be at his house in an hour. She calls him and he tells her about Pearl. Candace says she has to find out what Pearl knows and Benny tells her not to do anything stupid. He says Pearl could get them busted for real and they have to get the body out of there. She says they have to wait, at least until he stops smelling. Benny says he’ll look up how long it takes and Candace says she will – from Pearl’s house. He asks her what she’s going to do and she says what she knows how to do. He asks about Quincy Jr. and she tells him good-by. Benny thinks she must be lying about Quincy being with a preacher’s family.

David comes to Jim’s cell to apologize. Jim tells him that he didn’t call off the hit, but David says he knows he did. Jim admits it and David asks why. Jim says when he saw the look on David’s face and how he protects Veronica, he thought of Amanda. David tells him that Maggie is dead. He says apparently she interrupted a burglary – at least that’s what Veronica is telling the police. Jim tells him to sleep with his eyes open. David says he filed for divorce and Jim says all the more reason.

Jim asks if David loved Maggie and he says no. Jim asks if he slept with Maggie and David says he never cheated on his wife. Jim says David is a strong man, but he wishes David would find another way to vent his frustration. David apologizes again. They joke about the fight and Jim asks where it leaves them. David says, frenemies. David says he’ll work on getting Jim out. Jim asks him to hurry and says he owes him a serious ass kicking. They shake hands through the bars.

The phone rings at the Cryer house. Kathryn wakes up, but doesn’t want to answer.

Hannah’s phone rings. Katherine tells her she got “that phone call.” She says nobody calls this late and she didn’t answer it. She tells Hannah it’s ringing again and Hannah tells her to answer. Katherine says she can feel it. Hannah asks what the number is. Katherine gives her the number and Hannah says she’ll call her right back. Katherine lies in bed crying.

Hannah calls Blake. She asks why he was calling Katherine. Blake says it’s about her son. Hannah asks if he’s all right, but he says he needs to talk to Katherine. He asks who Hannah is and she says a friend. He repeats that he has to talk to Katherine personally and says someone is on the way to her house right now. Hannah says she’s already lost a child and have them wait until she gets there. She calls for Benny.

Without waiting for Benny, Hannah picks up his keys. Veronica is at the door. Hannah blows past her and drives away. Veronica asks Benny if he missed her. He says the reason he’s been calling her is that he needs to talk. She asks to talk inside. He says no and he wants her to talk to David. He says David is messing around with his business and he needs his money. He says David came looking for him, asking questions about the two of them, and he told David to talk to her. He tells Veronica to tell David there’s nothing going on.

Benny asks if she knew their picture was going to be in the paper and she says no. He says that’s a trick old chicks play, making their husbands jealous by screwing a young dude. She says if she was going to do that, she’d screw someone who could conjugate a verb or actually make some money. She says she used him for sex and it wasn’t even good. He tells her to get her old ass out of there and don’t come back. He says to tell David to stop messing with his phones or he’s coming after him. Veronica tells him to stay out of men’s games and basically that she was faking it with him. She says David is going to ruin him and to stay away from David because he’s dangerous.

Hannah gets to the Cryer house and thanks the detective for waiting. She calls Katherine and tells her to open the door. Katherine asks why she’s there and says she’s not opening the door. Hannah says Katherine asked her to be there and she is; now she has to open the door. Katherine just keeps saying no, but Hannah says she’s coming in with the extra key and Katherine has to come downstairs.

She opens the door and goes in with the detective. Hannah asks the detective how bad it is and he says, bad. He asks who Hannah is to Katherine and Hannah says she’s a friend, and that Katherine isn’t going to take this well.

Katherine comes down and says she doesn’t want the detective there. She says he was there when her daughter died and asks why he’s there. He says he’s sorry. She asks if her son is dead and he doesn’t say anything. She asks Hannah if her son is dead and the detective says he is. Katherine dissolves into screams and tears. Hannah runs to her and holds her. Tableau on the stairs.

Next time, the blood is scrubbed from Veronica’s walkway, Jim asks Hannah about the lawsuit, Katherine begs Hanna to do something that she says she can’t and Warlock continues to abuse Candace.
