What I Watched Today
(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)
General Hospital
At the cemetery, Carly can’t believe another year has come and gone without Morgan. Sonny says they’ll never forget him. Margaux appears and says neither will she. She says she’s not trying to interrupt, and Sonny suggests she keep walking. Carly says Margaux didn’t know their son, but Margaux says she’s not here for him. She’s here for her father.
Drew and Kim agree the clinical trial is the right thing to do for Oscar. Kim says it’s in December, and they need to get him to change his mind before it’s too late. If he doesn’t participate, he’s not getting another chance. Drew asks what if he refuses. She hates to say it, but they’ll have to force him. Oscar overhears.
Josslyn calls Oscar. She’s not surprised to get voicemail, since he’s not returning her texts or calls. She says today is a hard day for her, and there’s no one else she wants to spend it with. She’ll be waiting on their bench. Please meet her.
Terry looks at Oscar’s folder. Elizabeth comes to the desk, and Terry asks if everything is okay with Aiden. Elizabeth says he just has a case of school phobia. She doesn’t know how handle it if it continues. She sees Oscars file, and says she should be counting her blessings.
Laura sees Alexis at the MetroCourt. She tells Alexis she’s glad to see her; she needs her help with reentry.
Sam asks Jason to stay, and I get déjà vu. She thinks they should talk about this afternoon. She asks if he wants a drink, and he says, please.
Carly knows Margaux is still coming to grips with her father’s – Margaux says, murder? Carly finishes, remains – but this is inappropriate. She asks Margaux to leave now, and Margaux says, without visiting her father’s grave? His remains were interred today, but it’s still unmarked. It’s probably why they didn’t notice her father and their son are practically neighbors.
Terry tells Elizabeth experimental treatment comes with risks, but so does doing nothing. Elizabeth is glad Terry isn’t someone who’s all about drugs and protocol, and can relate to being a scared, confused teenager. Terry asks if Elizabeth and Kim are close. Kim is going to need her.
Drew asks Kim if it’s possible to enroll Oscar without his consent. She says he’s a minor until he’s eighteen, and they’re in full control of his medical decisions. She hates it. The last thing she wants is to fight, with time being precious. But he’s a kid, and not seeing clearly. If it comes to it, as parents, they need to intervene.
Laura tells Alexis that she’d like to assume her position on the hospital board again, and wants to be prepared. How does she fit in? Alexis is dialed into the community after running for mayor, and she was honored at the last Nurses’ Ball. She must have gotten a sense of what the public needs healthwise after the earthquake. Like Charles Street for example. Are their needs being met, or do they need more outreach? Alexis is glad Laura is joining the board again, and Laura asks if they need her that bad. Alexis says, not in terms of the earthquake. Lulu must have told her about Dr. Bensch. Laura says, had she been there, it would have been her first order of business. They clink glasses.
Sam digs out some wine. She knows Jason is more of a beer guy, but her palate has changed, and she thought it would be a good time to open a nice bottle of red. He opens it for her – way too easy. Jason says she can tell him anything. She hopes so, and says when they kissed, it meant something. It would have been easy keep going, and be together like they used to… He says, but? He asks if she can’t go there, and she says, not yet.
Carly doesn’t think there’s much difference between Margaux and Nelle. Nelle was all about vengeance; drugging Sonny, getting pregnant with Carly’s grandchild, making Carly think she was losing her mind. It was personal and vindictive. Margaux is burying her father near their son’s grave, so they’ll have to step over him to visit their son. The difference is that Nelle was an unhinged, murdering psychopath. Margaux is the DA trying to build a case. It’s messed up, and not professional. Margaux can’t believe Carly is talking to her about professionalism, given Sonny’s line of work. Sonny says if Margaux wants to come after him, fine, but no more using his family. She’s already used his wife and father, and now his son. Enough.
Drew tells Kim they don’t know if it will work, but Kim asks, what’s the alternative? She doesn’t even think there is one. Drew agrees that even if it prolongs Oscar’s life even a little bit, it’s worth it. He wishes they could take the trip to Mt. Kilimanjaro, sit under stars, make wish, and it would all go away. He wants to be Oscar’s dad. Kim says he is, but he says, dads make things better. He wants to be the dad who fixes things. She says she knows, but he can’t.
Oscar sees Josslyn in the park. She says he got her message, and thanks him for showing that he still cares.
Laura tells Alexis that she finally gets home, and her husband is at the hospital. Alexis asks if he’s busy, and Laura says, extremely. Alexis says he had to keep distracted while she was gone. Laura sees the watch, and asks if it’s an antique. Alexis says it’s a family heirloom from the Cassadines.
Sam thinks it’s weird. She and Jason were married, and made love how many times? He says, a lot. She wants to be together, and it shouldn’t be a big deal, but it is. Jason thinks he understands. She’s still rebuilding, and figuring out who she is now. They want each other, and she still loves him, but she’d forgotten about the physical attraction. When they kissed, all the feelings rushed back. He asks if it’s different than on New Year’s Eve. She says she’s in a much better headspace (favorite word of this show), and sees them in a different way, but she’s still not ready. He gets it, and he can wait. If it gets to the end, and something changes for her, that’s okay too. Sam tells him not to do that thing he does; keeping a respectful distance and taking a step back. She doesn’t want that.
Margaux holds the stack of letters, telling Sonny and Carly that they’re letters to her father, letting him know about her life; her successes, failures, and heartbreaks. She didn’t know where he was, and couldn’t mail them, but it made her feel closer to him, almost hopeful. All she can do is leave them at the grave. Carly says she has every right to mourn her father, but no right to violate the sanctity of the place and their son. Margaux says the son whose father murdered her father. Carly says she doesn’t know that. She’s emotionally damaged, and showing the world she’s powerless against Sonny, like every DA before her.
Kim tells Terry that Oscar is refusing to participate in the trial. Terry had the feeling he might be like that. He’s not the first patient to balk at experimental treatment. This one is her son. It’s hard enough being a teenager, when everything feels like life or death. Kim says, in Oscar’s case, it literally is.
Josslyn tells Oscar that her family had a remembrance for Morgan. They told stories, laughed, and sent off sky lanterns. Morgan would have loved it, but he’s not there to see it. Like he won’t be able to see the places he wanted to visit, or do the cool, crazy things he wanted to. Despite them trying to make it special, it sucked. Seeing Oscar means everything. She doesn’t know what’s going on, but they can fix it. She learned from Morgan how precious every second is. Oscar says, there is no we; no us. They’re over. She says he doesn’t mean that. He says he didn’t know she was going to be there. He’s on his way to meeting up with someone else. She asks him, what’s wrong?
Alexis explains to Laura that Mikkos gave the watch to her mother, and Valentin gave it to her having come from Mikkos, it’s probably ready to explode, but coming from her mom means something. Laura says that Alexis’s mom wore it is reason enough, no matter who gave it to her. She doesn’t envy Alexis, trying to decide how much of the Cassadine legacy she wants, or how much to reject. Her son struggled his entire life with it, and she’s seeing Spencer deal with it too. It’s not a comfortable place. Alexis says when Valentin gave it to her, it had stopped at 10:10. She had it fixed, and the jeweler assured it was fine, but it’s stopped again at 10:10.
Sam and Jason drink the wine. Jason tells her that he’s not going anywhere, and the wine’s not bad. Sam says so she knows it’s frustrating; she’s frustrated too. He says, whenever she’s ready. Here’s to cold showers. They’re not so bad. Like the wine. It’s something you get used to. Sam says she forgot to toast to something, and he says, bad luck? She thinks they’ve hit their quota, and toasts to beginnings. There’s a knock at the door, and Sam says it’s probably her mom. She knows better than to let herself in. It’s Drew, who says he tried calling. Sam asks him in. She’s glad to have them both together. She thinks they should be honest and upfront. She tells Drew the day Oscar took off, Jason found him at the pier, and convinced him to get in touch with his parents.
Josslyn says, whatever is going on, Oscar can tell her. He says, forget it, and she says she loves him. He asks her not to make it harder than it has to be. She says she knows him. She knows he wouldn’t be treating her like this if he didn’t care. Let her in. Let her be a part of what’s getting to him. He says he doesn’t love her. He never did, and never will. She doesn’t believe it, and he says that’s not his problem. She knows he’s lying, because she was lied to for the past year by Nelle. And every time, she knew something wasn’t right, but she kept swallowing it. Not anymore. Oscar says, whatever. He can’t win. He leaves, and she follows.
On the phone, Alexis asks how Oscar got her number. She tells him she’s not in the office, but can set up an appointment for tomorrow. She relents, and tells him to come to the MetroCourt if it’s that important to him.
Laura sees Elizabeth, and says she was looking for a friend, and the mother of her grandchild. Elizabeth asks when she got there, and why didn’t she tell anyone? Laura says she got in last night, and was going for a surprise. They hug.
Margaux asks Carly how she can be with this man. Enjoy being his wife, standing by his side, right or wrong, when she knows he’s a murderer. She’s grieving her son, meanwhile, how many people has Sonny put in the ground? They all have someone; a wife, a mother, a brother, a girlfriend, a child, but Carly doesn’t care, because she’s married to the man who gets away with it. Carly doesn’t know what’s wrong with that? Margaux walks away. I don’t like her, but she has a point. Sonny reads my thoughts, and says, she has a point.
Carly asks if Sonny thinks Margaux is right about her. He does have blood on his hands for some choices he made, but she knows nothing about him. Maybe Sonny does horrible things, but there are some he could have done, and didn’t. Sonny says, that’s a hell of an argument, but he’s not sure it would hold up in court. Carly says, persuasive though, right? and he says, very.
Laura tells Elizabeth that Doc has been fighting a cold, and is distracted. He doesn’t return her texts as quickly, and isn’t attentive on phone calls. Elizabeth wonders if he could be upset about the upcoming anniversary of the Ryan Chamberlain murders. Has she asked? Laura says he never wanted to talk about it. She hasn’t noticed anything in particular, but she wasn’t looking either. Elizabeth says, based on her experiences with Franco, if she feels like something is off, it is. Laura says, don’t ignore her instincts. She says she also might be making a bigger deal out of it because she feels guilty for staying away. Elizabeth says Spencer needed her; Doc understood that. Laura is anxious for things to be back to normal. Elizabeth encourages Laura to call him. Tell the doctor that she needs to make an appointment.
Kim hopes they don’t have to force the issue, but Terry says it’s not like the trial is tomorrow. Kim asks if it isn’t better if they sign up early. Josslyn rushes in to see Kim, and apologizes. Terry says she was just leaving, and thanks Kim for the consult, hiding the label on Oscar’s folder as she walks out. Josslyn says she’s sorry to barge in. Kim says Josslyn’s mom told her about the breakup; how is she? Josslyn says, terrible. She’s convinced herself that she did something wrong. Kim says, no, and Josslyn says Oscar is obviously in pain, and wants her to hurt too. That’s fine; she can take it, but tell her how to help him.
Oscar joins Alexis at the MetroCourt, and thanks her for meeting him. She says, it sounded urgent, and he asks if she charges by the hour. She thinks they should discuss that after he tells what it is he needs. He asks if it’s true that parents decide about medical issues for their children. She wonders why he’s asking, and he says he’s doing a report for school on a bill of rights for young people. Alexis says as long as the child is a minor, under eighteen, the parents call the shots. Oscar asks if there’s nothing he – nothing they can do, and she says as long as the decisions are in the best interests of the child, the law is clear. He says, what if they’re not? What then?
Drew asks if Oscar told Jason, and Jason says he’s sorry. Drew thanks him for convincing Oscar to call. Jason says he’s a good kid. Drew is sorry to interrupt, and says he’ll show himself out. After he’s gone, Jason asks if Sam is okay. Sam wishes she could help Drew, but she can’t.
In the hallway, Drew’s phone rings. It’s Margaux, and he asks what she wants. She says she was actually hoping they could help each other. Bleh. I get that she’s mourning her dad, but he worked for the mob, and she’s a creepy pest.
Laura calls not-Doc. She says she was on her way back, and looking forward to celebrating her homecoming. She says, really? He’s not any better? She tells him to finish his soup, and get some rest. She’ll see him in the morning. Elizabeth overhears.
Josslyn knows it looks pathetic. Getting dumped, and going to her boyfriend’s mom. But she knows something else is going on. He’s making up excuses to avoid reality between the two of them. Kim says she can’t get involved, but Josslyn is an amazing woman. She had concerns in the beginning, but the more she got to know Josslyn, she thinks she’s wonderful for Oscar. Josslyn asks if Kim is telling her not to give up. Kim says she can’t tell her anything. Josslyn thanks her, and leaves.
Oscar asks Alexis how would a kid prove they’re being forced to do something they shouldn’t? She asks if they’re still talking about his report. He says he needs to know kids’ rights. She says, in extraordinary cases, if the child’s vital interests are being abused or ignored, legal measures can be taken. Oscar asks, what kind?
Carly says Sonny was Morgan’s hero. He thinks that was more her title. Carly says Morgan loved her, and they had a great connection, but he idolized his father. When he was suffering from being bipolar, knowing that Sonny got through it and conquered it, gave him hope. The last thing he’d want to do on the anniversary of his death is let some bitch ride in there and tear down his hero. Sonny is a good man; a good father. If their son was still with them, he’d tell Sonny don’t give in to Margaux, and that he loves him very much. For the record, she does too. He tells her that he loves her too, and they kiss.
Margaux tells Drew that she’s sensing it’s a bad time; probably for both of them. She suggests they start fresh in the morning, and asks him to breakfast. He wants to know what it’s about, and she says she has a proposition, while flipping the flash drive around in her hand.
Sam tells Jason nothing hurts more than having feelings for someone you can’t be with. Jason says she doesn’t want to see Drew get hurt, and she says her first impulse is to make sure he’s okay, but he’s strong enough realize they’re best apart. The only thing you can do is say a prayer, and be there. Not push yourself on them. She laughs, thinking it’s such a Jason thing to say. Not to manage or try to fix it, and wait until you have to step in. Jason says, for better or worse, but he thinks it’s for the better. The bottle is empty, and Jason says, time for him to go. He tells her it will be okay, and the next bottle they open will be a beer. She tells him, it’s a deal. When he’s gone, she lovingly touches his glass.
Tomorrow, Gregory asks Finn when he’s going to stop hating him, Josslyn tells Cameron that she’s staying by Oscar’s side, Margaux asks Drew to help her make Sonny pay for his crimes.
The Haves and The Have Nots
Jim and Austin walk in on Justin standing over Wyatt, who’s on his knees. Jim asks what’s going on, and Justin says he was searching Wyatt. Jim calls bullsh*t, and Justin says he doesn’t don’t know procedure. Jim grabs Justin, and they fight, slamming each other against the walls. The captain walks in and breaks it up. Jim says the sick SOB assaulted his son. Justin says he was questioning Wyatt. Jim calls bullsh*t again. The captain yells at Justin to go. Jim tells him to bring charges up against him now, and the captain says he will.
Austin introduces herself, telling Wyatt that she’s his lawyer. She needs him to sign papers to get him out. Jim wants answers first; what was going on? Wyatt asks, what did it look like? and Jim says it looked like he was about to perform an indecent act under duress. If he’s into it, fine, but he got the impression it was under duress. He asks if Wyatt is into it, and Wyatt says, no. Jim asks, why? and Wyatt says he’s a drug addict. Jim says it breaks his heart. He wants to help Wyatt, but can’t if Wyatt won’t let him. He’s willing to perform oral sex for drugs? Wyatt says he was willing to do whatever it took; he still is. Jim shouldn’t have taken Wyatt’s money or washed his cocaine down the sink. Jim says he’s to blame for Wyatt’s problem? He took money so Wyatt would stop hurting himself. Wyatt asks if Jim can’t see all this started happening when he took it. If he hadn’t, Wyatt wouldn’t be in this position. Jim says they have a plan. Wyatt says next time, let him know what it is. Jim asks if Wyatt was about to trade sex for heroine, which I thought we’d already established. Wyatt says, yes. Jim calls him an idiot, and says it’ all he needed to know. He kisses Wyatt on the forehead, and leaves.
Jim goes to the captain’s office, and asks what kind of precinct he’s running. Justin is there, and Jim says this sick SOB tried to trade heroin for sex. It’s in his pocket; search him. Justin says Wyatt is a junkie and a liar. Jim tells the captain to search him, but the captain says, it’s against the law. It would be easier if Justin would cooperate. Justin asks if he believes Jim’s junkie son over him. The captain says if Justin doesn’t submit to a search, he’ll be forced to suspend him. Empty his pockets. Justin says this is based on lying junkie, and accuses the captain of being in Jim’s pocket. The captain says, just show him, and it will be easier. Otherwise, he has no choice but to suspend him until an investigation happens. He tells Justin to leave the premises. When Justin is gone, Jim suggests looking at the camera footage, but the captain says they were turned off. Jim asks if that’s not suspicious. He doesn’t care what the captain does, but it better be big. The punishment needs to fit the crime.
Jim and Wyatt. Wyatt wants to walk, but Jim tells him to get in the car, or he’ll fold Wyatt’s ass up and stick Wyatt in himself. Wyatt shakes Jim’s hand off his arm, and calls him an SOB. He says he’s going home, but Jim says he doesn’t have one. It’s on the market, and the doors are locked. Wyatt wonders how that happened, and Jim says he has all the power. Now get in the car. Wyatt gets in.
RK tells Candace that Veronica wants him to make Jeffrey fall in love with him, so she can expose the cop. Candace says, Jeffrey is a friend, and RK says, sorry. They laugh, and Candace tells him to do what he needs to; she doesn’t care anymore. She’s been looking through her contacts; some boys who left her for a guy named War. She needs gangsters and bangers. RK asks if she’s starting a gang. She says she’s going to beat Hanna until she gets her money. RK says that’s her mother. Candace came out of her, but Candace doesn’t give a damn. RK says his mom is a crackhead. She’s in and out of jail. She burned him with a crackpipe, and he still loves her ass. Candace says Hanna has $8 million of her money. He asks if she’s tried talking to Hanna; she can convince anybody to do almost anything. She does it to him all the time. She says she doesn’t want to; she can’t. She tells him to go now. He’s surprised, since they just had a moment. He starts to undo his pants, saying, it’s hot, but she says, go. She says she’ll think about what he said, and laughs.
David is sitting up. The nurse says that’s good, but don’t lie on his back. He might think he can because he’s on the pain medication. She tells him the FBI is there, and he says to send them in. FBI dude says he spoke to Jeffrey, who thinks David’s wife did this. His girlfriend was burned to death; she was alive when she was burning. They need his help to find out who did this. David says he thinks it was his wife. FBI dude asks, why? and David says she wasn’t happy about his new relationship. On several occasions, she’d threatened him, and there are two police reports. FBI dude says he knows it’s hard on David; he’s sorry. David says Veronica is thorough; they won’t find anything. She’s a shrewd lawyer. FBI dude says they’ve taken out people in Washington. If anything points to her, they’ll find it. He says David doesn’t seem happy about that, and David says, why would he be? Veronica is an amazing woman, the love of his life. Why would he be happy about any of it. He’s still coming to terms with it. He tells FBI dude that he’s tired, and FBI dude says he’ll call if he needs anything else.
Jim lets Wyatt into the house. He says Wyatt is staying there. Wyatt says he’s getting a fix, and Jim says, not from him. He wants Wyatt to meet a couple of his friends, Leo and Mac. Consider them guardians. Two thugs in suits stand with their arms folder. Wyatt says he’s going to die. Jim says Wyatt is breaking his heart Kathryn comes down, saying it’s good to have him home. His room is upstairs. She had it done. He says she makes him sick – all of them. Jim tells Leo and Mac that he wants one of them on the door, and the other on the balcony. If Wyatt tries to get away, stop him – even if they have to break something.
Kathryn says, this is the plan? Lock him in the house? Jim says, this is the plan. She’s holding a stack of photos, and tells him, take a look at the picture of this whore, that whore, this whore, while she hands them to him. He says, this one isn’t a whore. She’s a business associate, keeping Kathryn’s ass from being behind bars. Kathryn asks, how? and he says, the less she knows, the better. She tells him he’s being investigated for the prostitution ring in her hotel. He says that’s the least of worries. He’s not concerned about what people think of him and a bunch of whores. She should be more concerned about the matter at hand, and less about what’s in his pants. She says, they’re going to make a bust, and he thanks her for the warning.
Roderick (or whatever the hell his name is, the hotel manager) calls Kathryn. She thanks him for the pictures. She’s coming there later, so he can brief her further. He says he’s reserved a private room. She says she’ll call when she’s on the way. Jim asks if she’s heard from Hanna. Kathryn asks, why? and he says, the money. She tells him if Hanna says she’ll do it, she will, but he doesn’t trust Hanna as far as he could throw Kathryn. Kathryn says she does. He’ll just have to wait to hear from her himself.
Justin pulls into David’s driveway, and tells Jeffrey that Wyatt got him suspended. Jeffrey asks, how? and Justin says, it’s a long story. He needs a favor, but Jeffrey wants to know what happened. Justin says he needs Wyatt to say he didn’t do anything. Jeffrey insists on knowing, and Justin says he took Wyatt to the interrogation room. Jeffrey says, the same room Justin took him. Justin says Wyatt tried to seduce him. Wyatt wanted him to get heroine, and was grabbing at him. Must have been an interesting trick in handcuffs. Jeffrey says Justin is lying. He believes the part about the heroine, but he’s lying about Wyatt trying to seduce him. Justin says Wyatt was on his knees when his dad walked in. Jeffrey asks, doing what? and creepy Justin says the thing Jeffrey does so well. Jeffrey tells him, shut up, and Justin says he got weak, and things happened. Jeffrey says Justin is lying, and he can’t deal right now. Justin asks if Jeffrey is inviting him in, and Jeffrey says, goodbye. Jeffrey walks away, as Justin calls after him. Jeffrey goes inside to find his mother sitting on the couch.
I go, whaat? He asks what she’s doing in there. Veronica says, this is how he had her living. Jeffrey says she needs to get out. She says, except for this tacky furniture, it’s beautiful. She picked out the house. She brought him here, but he said, not now. Somebody bought it, and she was so mad, but let him lead the way. That’s where she was wrong. She let him lead when she was in her twenties, and in her thirties, but when she turned forty, she said no. She needed to take charge. He was intimidated. She asks, what is it about Black men? She tells Jeffrey not to answer. How would he know about a man unless he was on top of him. She asks what is it about Black men that they get so intimidated by a strong Black woman. David was so intimidate, he ran to Maggie day, a blonde, and he became an errand boy to Jim Cryer. He didn’t want to listen to her. She gets it; she understands. Out in the world, they have to fight to be respected, and at home they don’t want to fight, but a woman can’t have an opinion? A woman today trying to be with Black man is hard. The good ones are taken or married. The others are in jail. Others… She says Jeffrey knows what others are. Has slavery been that devastating that Black men can’t respect a strong Black woman with an opinion? All she wanted was a voice. It’s a bitch. Jeffrey says, no; she’s the bitch. He watched it. She treated his father like hell, when all he was trying to do was love her. He bought the house for her when she burned down the other one. He was still trying to work things out with her. He never slept with Maggie until she pushed him into Maggie’s arms. In response to her Black man comment, there’s nothing wrong when he has a strong, stable, supportive Black woman. If she wants to know what’s wrong with his dad, it’s her. Veronica says if she didn’t love him, she’d have a bitch cut his throat – a stable one. Even love has limits; ask his father. He tells her not to come back again, and she says she hears him.
Hanna tells Derrick to leave the breakfast dishes. They decide to leave Benny sleep. She has to get to the bank, then work. He says it will be okay, and she wonders how he got so patient. He says, life. She knows it sounds crazy, but she’s been thinking about that man who broke in. She hopes he’s all right. Derrick is sure he went to the hospital, and is doing okay; it’s where they’ll catch him. Hanna says, the police are coming back, and Derrick says he can stay; he works for himself. She thanks him for everything; staying there last night, and staying. He doesn’t want anything to happen to her. She’s the best thing to happen to him in years. She tells him, stop lying, and he says he’s not. He’d never lie to her. He kisses her, and tells her not to fight it. She says she can’t do this; it leads to everything. He asks, what’s wrong with everything? and she says she can’t without being married. He says they’re just kissing, but she says it’s the thoughts going through her mind. He asks how long it’s been, and she says, too long. He understands. She says he’s not with a twenty-something; he’s with a grown-ass woman, who knows what she wants and how she wants it. She asks if he doesn’t think it’s too fast. He does, but he likes it. She’s said she’s a grown-ass woman, and he’s a grown-ass man. He knows what he wants when he sees it, like she does. She asks what he wants, and he says, her. She asks how he wants it, and he says every way she wants to give it to him. They kiss, and there’s a knock at the door. Hanna says they’ve been saved by somebody, and he says, probably the police.
It’s Candace. Derrick introduces himself. Candace and Hanna look at each other. He says he’ll let them talk. He’ll be outside. Candace sits, and Hanna asks what she can do for her. Candace asks how Benny is, and Hanna says he’s sleeping. Candace heard about what happened. Hanna says, so Candace came over to check on her? Candace says she did, and asks how Hanna is. She’s trying be nice. Hanna says she’d rather hear the truth. Candace say she’s glad Hanna is okay, but Hanna says she doesn’t give a damn about her mama. Candace tells her that she owed money to the guy who came there. Hanna asks, how much? and Candace says everything she had. Hanna says she doesn’t have anything. Candace says, everything in the bank. If she doesn’t give it to him, he’ll kill her. Hanna is sorry, and Candace asks if she doesn’t care. Hanna asks how Candace knew it was a man, and she says Benny told her. She knows she brought it on herself, but if she doesn’t get the money, she’s dead. She knows she has a lot of problems, but she also knows Hanna doesn’t want to see her dead.
Candace says she knows Hanna went to War to stop him. Benny told her. Hanna says she’d do anything for Candace, but lie, cheat, or steal. Candace says, please, calling her momma. Hanna tells her, stop with the momma. She’s Hanna, remember? Candace is lying through her teeth, and Hanna can’t help her. Candace says she needs the money, but Hanna says she’s not getting a dime. Did Candace think conning her was going to work? Candace says she knows Hanna is a good, Christian woman. Hanna says, please don’t do that. Candace asks what Hanna is going to do with the money, and she says she’s giving it to the Cryers, telling Candace not to act like she didn’t get it from them. She tells Candace, get out.
Candace glares at Hanna in a really scary way, and Hanna says, come on out, Satan. Candace says it’s her money and she wants it. Hanna tells her, get the hell out, but Candace says not until Benny and Hanna go with her to the bank, and wire the money. Hanna says it will never happen. She’s asked herself many times what it’s going to take. She thought when Candace’s baby died… Candace says when Hanna got her baby killed. Hanna continues, when the baby died, she thought something would change, but it never did. Candace just dug in deeper, and got more and more evil. Candace asks if Hanna wants to see how evil, and Hanna says she already has. She’s looking at it. Candace promises that if Hanna doesn’t give her the money, she’ll have a visitor every night. Hanna says, she did that. She sent the man there. Candace says, last chance. Hanna says, she sent him there, and Candace repeats, last chance. Hanna tells her she’ll never get a damn thing, and says, I see you, demon. What’s your name? How many are you? I call you out in the name of Jesus. Wow. Candace really does look evil.
