What I Watched Today

(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)

General Hospital

Alexis, Sam and Dante are eating at the MetroCourt, and Alexis says she’s glad they found the time to get together, since they’re all so busy. She’s not going to ask any questions about The Hook, or ask Dante any questions about his investigations with the PCPD. Nina comes to their table, and apologizes for interrupting. Sam asks if everything is okay, and Nina says, that depends. She’s not asking Dante for any details about the case, but she needs to know. How worried does Ava have to be about Esme Prince?

Britt kneels in her office rubble, holding the necklace, and Cody asks if she’s all right. Did someone break in and try to steal the necklace? She says, no, and he asks if she wants to tell him what happened. She puts the necklace back in its box, setting it on the desk, and says, there’s no point in getting into it, but he says, humor him. Pretend he’s useful. Please, let him help.

At the hospital, Michael asks if Willow is okay, and she says, they’re early. She doesn’t want to wait by the chemo treatment room. She knows it’s silly… He says, it’s not. Whatever makes her comfortable, that’s what they’re going to do. Carly sees them, and asks what they’re doing here.

Victor says he’s beginning to wonder if Robert is as trusting as Holly led him to believe, and Holly says she’s done everything she can to convince Robert that she has no memory of the last two years. And as far as she can tell, he believes her. Victor yells, stop it! Stop lying to him.

Sam says, Esme has been seen in town, and didn’t she attack Elizabeth Baldwin? and Alexis says she didn’t know that. Dante says, Elizabeth is doing fine, and Nina says, if Esme is behind these hook attacks, that would makes sense, because it fits in with the PCPD theory that these attacks are connected to Trina Robinson’s trial. Alexis says, it wouldn’t be the first time Esme went after Trina, given the victims, and Nina says, starting with Ava. Alexis says, Ava was a mentor to Trina, and Diane represented Trina. Diane also told her that Haggerty sold Esme the phone she used to record Josslyn and Cameron. Nina says, Elizabeth is Cameron’s mother, so she would be targeted too, and Dante says, the investigation is ongoing. Nina asks if he can just tell her if Ava is safe. Or should she be expecting Esme to show up at her door with a giant hook? He says, all he can suggest is they stay vigilant, but go ahead and live their lives. Nina apologizes for interrupting again, and moves on. Alexis looks at Dante, and he says, the investigation is ongoing. She says, got it, holding up her hands.

Blaze says, it’s not that she doesn’t like Brook’s song; she does. The lyrics are terrific, but she’s not singing back-up for Chase. Brook says, the song is perfectly balanced. Both of them get a solo verse, before singing the chorus and a third verse together. Blaze says, when they do sing together, she’s always the melody, while his part shows off his range. Her part is a little boring. Linc says, that’s an excellent point, babe, and puts his hand on hers, but she slips hers out quickly. Linc says, Blaze deserves her time to shine, and Brook says, it sounds like a rehearsal issue. It’s a collaboration. They communicate, and fix it. After all, they’re on the same side, right? Blaze says she just wants the song to be good, and Chase is sure they can figure out a way to showcase them both. Linc says he’s sure they can work something out. Blaze plays nice; don’t you, babe? He puts his hand on her thigh, Brook and Chase notice her negative reaction.

Britt tells Cody, sorry. She’s just going through a tough time. He says he’s had a few of those, and she says, you know what’s funny? When her father died, she thought, it’s over; he’s finally dead. Little did she know the reach that man had. His brain is in a jar in the WSB somewhere, and his body is literally in the wind. They scattered his ashes, and now the man who spent his life trying to destroy the world, is spending eternity polluting it. She kicks some stuff on the floor, and says, he’s dead and gone, and he’s still hurting her. She spent most of her life striving for his approval, but no matter how much she accomplished, it was never going to happen. Cody says, he must have been delusional not to see how great she is, and she says, maybe he was. He picks his way through everything, and says, that’s the spirit. If her old man can’t appreciate her, that’s on him, not on her. She asks if it’s really that easy for him, and he says, kind of. He wasn’t that close to his family. His mom – the woman he thought was his mom – she had to work just to put food on the table. She didn’t have time for him. Only if he outgrew his sneakers or she had to tell him that he couldn’t play hockey because she couldn’t afford the pads. She says, thanks, but it’s not the same, and he says, he knows, but he knows what it’s like to be overlooked, and feel like you’re a burden, like you’re not… She says, worth loving? and he says, she’s definitely worth loving. She says, even with what’s been passed down to her?

Holly says, for God’s sake, Victor is the only person she’s not lying to. She’s completely betraying Robert, her friends, and probably several countries because he’s holding her son’s life in his hands. Victor says he’s worked too hard, and come too far. One more life means nothing to him. He’ll kill Luke’s son as easily as he killed Luke himself, although perhaps not as quickly as he killed her sister. She says, he doesn’t have to remind her of everything he’s taken from her, and he says, trust him. She’s got a lot more to lose. And if she’s sloppy in arousing Robert’s suspicions… She says, Robert still trusts her, and he asks, then why wasn’t Anna in the safe house? Holly says she doesn’t know. Anna is an expert at evasion. If she doesn’t want to be found, he won’t find her. He says, lucky for Holly, or Robert woudn’t have given her a second glance years ago. Does it still sting knowing she’s always played second fiddle to Anna?

Michael says he didn’t expect to see Carly here. Everything okay? She says, everything’s fine; she’s just keeping busy. What about them? Is Willow working or does she have an appointment? TJ comes along, and tells them, happy Thanksgiving. Willow says she has a question for him; it’s a nursing thing. They step away, and Carly asks Michael how Willow is doing. Has her pregnancy gotten any easier? He says, actually, he and Willow are kind of nervous. She decided that she’s going to find her birth parents.

Linc says, this is an opportunity for both Blaze and Chase, but Blaze is the one with the following. He asks how many followers she has, and she says, a few million. He says, since Chase is the one riding Blaze’s coattails, he thinks it’s on Chase to make it work. Brook suggests she and Linc grab a coffee at the counter and let the talent talk, and Linc says, a little one-on-one time with BLQ? He’ll be happy to suss things out. They leave, and Chase says he hopes Blaze doesn’t mind him saying so, but she seems a little uncomfortable around Linc; with how touchy and handsy he can be. She says, that’s business. They’re artists, not accountants. It’s all hugs and kisses, not handshakes. Chase says, he’s not talking about schmoozing. What Linc is doing is far beyond that, but she can fight back.

Brook tells Linc to sit a seat away, and he asks, why? She says she’s not letting him grope her, and he says, she always was dramatic. She says, and he always was a sleaze, and by the way he treats Blaze, not much has changed. He says, she doesn’t hear Blaze complaining, does she?

Chase says, what Linc is doing is at the very least sexual harassment, but Blaze says she has a contract with Linc. She’s worked hard to get where she is. She’s not going to blow it now. It doesn’t matter how talented you are if you get a bad rep for being difficult. They’re here to talk about the song. So let’s do that.

Alexis wonders if Esme’s been living in Port Charles all this time, and Sam says she heard Esme posted on social media a few days after the trial from the south of France, but it could have been faked. Alexis says, either she left and came back, or never left at all. But it’s possible she could have attacked Ava back in August. And everyone gets to speculate about that except them. Sam says, don’t drag her into this, and Alexis says, okay. Everyone gets to speculate except her because of Dante. He says, she can speculate all she wants. He’s just not allowed to join in. Go ahead. Alexis says he’s no fun. If they can’t talk about the case, she wants to talk about food. Dante says he likes food, and Alexis asks, what’s Sonny cooking for Thanksgiving? Dante says, it sounds like he’s cooking way too much food; there’s going to be leftovers for weeks, and they’re going to go bad. Sam says, Alexis is good with the kids spending Thanksgiving eve with her, right? and Alexis says, she’s not cooking. The oven will be off. She’s ordering in, and they’re having a little picnic on the floor in the living room. Sam asks if she’s disappointed the kids are going to be at the Q’s for Thanksgiving, and Alexis says, why would she be disappointed? Besides, she gets to have them all to herself tonight. What are Sam and Dante doing for Thanksgiving? Sam says, they’re going to Sonny’s after they drop the kids off at the Q’s. Dante says, and after they go to Sonny’s, they’re going back to the Q’s for pizza. Alexis says, there’s going to be a big crowd at the Quartermaines’, and Dante says, sounds like it. The usual, plus his mom invited Cody, but he’s probably going to have to take a beer to the stables, so Cody doesn’t spend the holiday alone. Sam says, Cody’s not spending the holiday with Britt? and Dante says he doesn’t know. Cody didn’t say.

Nina asks Obrecht if Britt is spending tomorrow with her and Scotty, and Obrecht says, unless she gets a better offer. Nina says, she’s talking about Cody. Are things serious between them? Obrecht says, not yet, but it is inevitable.

Cody asks what Britt means, but she says she doesn’t know how to say it; she never has. She tried to make it go away. She figured if she didn’t acknowledge it… He says, it being… She says, her father’s legacy; the only thing he ever gave her. He looks at the necklace, and asks if she’s talking about… She says she tried to put Faison out of her mind, and it actually worked. Of course (🍷) he’d pop up every up now and then, but he’d never linger. Now she’ll remember him for the rest of her life. However long that is. He tells her not to talk like that; her dad’s dead and gone. She says, but he left something behind, and Cody says, throw it away. She says she can’t, but he says, sure she can. Just give it to him.

Obrecht asks how Nina and Sonny are spending Thanksgiving, and Nina says, Sonny’s hosting. Obrecht says she’s surprised, and Nina asks, why? Family is very important to Sonny. Obrecht says she doesn’t mean to sound harsh, but who in Sonny’s family is speaking to him? Nina says, his daughters, and Obrecht says, the toddling ones, but Nina says, and Kristina, and TJ and Molly, but she’s sure they have other plans. All family are welcome. Obrecht says, even that ingrate Michael?

Carly says, Willow wants to find her birth parents, and Michael says, and any other relatives who might be out there. Carly flashes back to finding out Nina is Willow’s mother, and she tells Michael that she’s curious. What changed Willow’s mind?

Willow tells TJ that she feels like a coward, leaving Michael to deal with his mom, when she’s the one who wants to keep her condition private. TJ says, Michael can deal with his mother. Willow is facing leukemia. She should feel free to handle that however it works for her. She says she knows everyone would be supportive, but she can’t risk Wiley finding out she’s sick. It would scare him too much. He says, they’ll tell Wiley when the time is right, and if that’s many years from now, even better. She says, here’s hoping. Right now, she wants to keep it as quiet as possible. They both look at Michael talking to Carly.

Dante looks at his phone, and Sam says, good news? He says, it could be, if Brook would get back to him. Alexis asks how things are between  Dante and Brook, and we see his text to her says: Where are u? He says, pretty good, but this isn’t about them. It’s about the Civilian Complaint Review Board. They’re going to reevaluate Chase’s case. Alexis asks if he’s going to get his badge back, and Dante says he hopes so. Alexis says she hopes so too. It’s not easy to lose your job. It’s hard to bounce back. Sam says she thought Alexis was happy at The Invader, and Alexis says she’s okay. Dante looks at Brook’s reply: Kelly’s. In meeting. Y? He texts: Need to talk. CCRB needs letter. Brook replies: Will call soon. He says he has to deal with this, and gets up. Sam says, duty calls? and he says, something like that. Alexis asks if there’s anything he’d like to add off the record, and he thanks her for lunch, kisses Sam, and leaves.  

Victor says, perhaps the reason Holly isn’t the distraction he’d hoped she’d be is because Robert is waiting for Anna to tire of Valentin. She says, as Valentin has tired of Victor? Why is it his one and only son isn’t by his side, aiding and abetting his crimes? Victor is going to be so lonely when he finally creates whatever ridiculous world it is that he’s forging, and has absolutely no one to share it with. He says, careful where you tread, missy. Lest I teach you the true meaning of loneliness. She says she’s very sorry. She takes it back. Victor knows how loved he is, as Holly knows Robert loves her. Victor says, as she loves Robert? but she says, it doesn’t matter. The only person she cares about at the moment is her son Ethan, and she wants to talk to him. Victor says, he can’t come to the phone right now, and she says, if she doesn’t speak to him, how does she know the worst hasn’t happened? He tells her, don’t be so melodramatic. She gets a proof-of-life photo every day. She says, photos prove nothing, and he says, then she’ll just have to trust him. She says, as he’s going to have to trust her to take care of Robert.

Britt says, give it to him? and Cody says, she didn’t want it anymore, and it probably belongs to him anyway. Win-win, right? She asks what he’s talking about, and he says, her father’s legacy; the necklace. She laughs, and says, he thinks this is about the necklace? He says, it’s hardly just a necklace, and she says, of course (🍷). He asks, what else could she be talking about? and she says, of course (🍷). It’s the $35 million in jewelry on her desk. After all, the only thing Cody cares about is getting rich. She can’t believe she’s even surprised. It was the necklace he wanted; she was just here. He says, this conversation just took a massive wrong turn. He didn’t mean… and she says, he didn’t mean what? He didn’t mean for her to let her guard down? He didn’t mean for her to be vulnerable for five minutes after he’d been grilling her for months? He says he wanted to get to know her, and she says, sure he did, so he could get that stupid necklace. She shoves it into the box, closes it, and says, he wants it so bad? Here you go. She pushes the box at him, and says, get out.

Chase says he’s not sure what Blaze thinks is missing; she’s got some great vocal moments. She says, it’s not the song per se; it’s actually great. He says, so when she was complaining before… She says, totally posturing. She loves it, but when Linc talked about taking her in another direction, this is not what she had in mind. He asks, what’s wrong with the direction she’s on? and she says, between the wigs and the costumes, she doesn’t recognize herself. He says, fair enough. What direction does she want to take this? She says, honestly? She wanted a folk song. He says, she likes folk? and she asks, what’s wrong with it? He says, not a thing, but it’s a 180 from her usual songs. She says, her first manager came up with her look, and she went along with it. Linc signed her as a pop singer, and says, her fans won’t accept her singing anything else. She wants the chance to try new things. Doesn’t he? He says, no, not really, and they laugh. He says he likes things he knows, and she says, singing standards. He says, being a cop, and she says, like in The Village People? He says he was a detective with the PCPD. He kinds of fell into singing. She says, but his heart’s not in it, and he looks at Brook, telling Blaze, he wouldn’t say that.

Michael says, with the baby coming, they decided it’s important to know as much as possible about Willow’s medical history, and Carly says, that makes sense. Willow and TJ come back, and Carly asks how Willow is going about finding her birth parents. Michael says, they’ve been doing their own research, and Drew offered to help. TJ says, sorry. He’s got to run, but happy Thanksgiving. Carly asks what he and Molly are doing tomorrow, and he says, his mom is coming over, and Alexis is going to Sonny’s, which would be super awkward, so they won’t see her until Friday. Carly asks why it would be awkward, and TJ says he thought she knew. She says, what now? and Michael says, Nina accused Willow of sleeping with TJ, and Sonny believed her.

Britt asks what Cody is waiting for. Congratulations. His plan worked. He takes the jewelry box, and she says, now get out of my office, and out of my life. She opens the door, and Robert is there with an officer. He says, sorry to interrupt. It looks like she’s had a break-in. Britt says, no. She wanted it like this. He says, her call, and asks Cody, what’s in the case? Cody says, none of Robert’s business, but Robert says, if it’s a $35 million necklace recovered from Peter August, it is his business. He takes out a paper, and says he has a warrant here for it. Hand it over.

Blaze says, Chase and Brook? And he was giving her a hard time about Linc. He says, it’s completely different. Brook is more than his manager. She says, clearly, and Chase says, Brook is also his best friend. They’ve helped each other through a lot. She says, this business arrangement between them seems one-sided, but he says, they’re both committed to this relationship. She says, but they’re still doing what Brook wants, not what he wants, and he says, singing might not be as fulfilling as police work, but he’s happy to do it for Brook. He’d do anything for her, and he knows she would do anything for him.

Linc says, what Brook needs to accept – she says she can’t wait to hear this pearl of wisdom – she’s old news. What does he need her for when he has Blaze, and he’s thisclose to signing Magdalena Perez. Brook says, she can’t be more then 17, but he says, she’s 18. And don’t let the name fool you; she’s no virgin. Brook says, he’s disgusting. She thought she could stomach working with him, but nope, wrong. He says, fine by him, but she says, this definitely won’t be fine for him, because from this moment on, she will not let him harass one more person. He says, is that right? Whatchu gonna do, BLQ? She says she’s going to expose him for the creep he is. She’s going to tell everyone how he treated her when he was her manager. He says he just has one question. If he’s so awful, why is she working with him now? Do her worst. No one is going to listen to a bitter has-been. She says, it won’t be just her.

Alexis asks Sam, what was the face about when Dante mentioned Cody? Sam says, Cody hinted Dante may have done something… maybe something illegal when he was younger. Alexis asks if she means like egging cars, or going on a random bank heist, and Sam says, they didn’t get into details, but he made it sound serious. Alexis asks, at what age they’re talking about? and Sam says, they lost touch when they were around 16, so she imagines it was before then. Alexis says, did she ask Dante about it? and Sam says, no. Alexis asks what Sam’s thinking, and Sam says, it’s Cody. He’s probably exaggerating, but she has this instinct. She needs to know what happened.

Carly says, Nina lives to cause trouble, and Sonny knows Willow would never do something like that; at least he should. Willow says, Nina claims she was worried how Willow’s affair would affect Wiley, and Carly says, of course (🍷) Nina used Wiley as an excuse. That woman never stops. She tried to make Sonny think there was something going on between her and Brick. Michael says, what? and she says she’ll explain later. She’s got to go. She leaves, and Michael and Willow exchange glances.

Obrecht says, so Nina engaged in a little gossip and got it wrong, and Nina says, really wrong; like twice. Obrecht asks if Nina destroyed Willow and Michael’s saccharine union, and Nina says, no. Obrecht says, then they have no cause for complaint. If they try, let her know. Nina says she thinks she can handle it. The tension with Michael really upsets Sonny, and she doesn’t like seeing Sonny hurt; he feels things very deeply. Obrecht asks if Sonny is treating Nina as well as he should, and Nina says she’s never been happier. Next year – she laughs – maybe they could have Thanksgiving together; Sonny and her, Britt and Cody, Obrecht and Scotty. But they both know that’s never gonna happen.

Cody says, Robert can’t just walk in here and take his necklace, and Britt says, my necklace, jackass. Cody says, she just gave it to him, and she says, it was a futile attempt to shame him. Was he really going to take it? He says, no, but Robert can’t have it. Robert tells Cody, this warrant says he can. And as per the State of New York, they have reason to believe the diamonds in that piece were obtained unlawfully. So until that’s resolved, it stays in their possession. The officer tells Cody, hand over the necklace, and Robert says, best not to resist. Robert Scorpio, his friendly neighborhood DA? And until recently, almost his uncle. Cody says, close call, and Robert says, apparently. The officer holds out his hand, and says, sir? Britt says, for Pete’s sake, and grabs it out of Cody’s hand, giving it to the officer. Robert looks at it, and says, fits the description, and the officer puts it into a briefcase. Britt says, come back any time, and Robert leaves with the officer. Britt tells Cody, he’s on the wrong side of her door. Get out. He says, wait, and closes the door. If she wasn’t referring to the necklace, what legacy is she talking about?

Walking through the hospital, Robert tells the officer, from here, he needs to be escorted to the MetroCourt Hotel. Then he can head back. The officer says, maybe he should stick around, but Robert says he thinks he can handle this, and Bureau guys are coming over. He suggests the officer cuff it to his wrist, and the officer handcuffs the briefcase to Robert. They leave, and Johann comes out from his not-so-secret hiding spot. He calls Victor, and says, the package just changed hands. Victor asks, how? and Johann says, Scorpio went to Westbourne’s office with a cop. Don’t worry. He knows where they’re headed. Victor says, excellent.

Brook says, all she has to do is light a match, and Linc’s career, his reputation, his family will go up in flames.

Blaze says, Chase is kind, sweet, and easy to work with, and he thanks her. She tells him, get out of this business while all that is still true. She has to run. New costume fitting. She has to make sure she can breathe in it. Chase says, it was good working with her, and think about what he said. On her way out the door, Blaze runs into Dante, who says, she’s Blaze, right? She says she is indeed, and he says his son loves her; he’s a big fan. She says, and he doesn’t? but he says he does. He just didn’t recognize her without all the stuff. She says, disappointed? and he says, not at all. She leaves, and Cody asks if he got her autograph. Dante says, no, but he should have. Rocco would love that. What is Blaze doing in Port Charles? Chase says, they’re actually working on a song together, and Dante says, that’s amazing.

Willow says, they’d better head upstairs, and tells TJ, first day of chemotherapy. TJ says, she’s going to do great. If she needs anything, so not hesitate to call. She says she will, and thanks him for the support. Michael says, TJ has been a great friend. TJ leaves, and Michael asks if Willow is ready. She says, absolutely.

Alexis stops Nina as she goes past the table, and asks if she has a second. Nina asks how she can help Alexis, and Alexis says she was wondering why Nina is so sure Esme is The Hook killer. Nina says, that’s really something Alexis should talk to Ava about, not her, but Alexis says, Nina is living with Ava. So if Esme should decide to attack again, Nina could be in danger. Nina says, how about if she talks to Ava about this, and Ava will give Alexis a call? and Alexis says, okay. Nina leaves, and Sam comes back. Alexis tells her, this Hook story keeps getting bigger and bigger, and more dangerous. People keep promising her information they’re not giving her. Meanwhile, she’s sitting on what she knows, which could be helpful. Sam says, she’s talking about the letter the killer sent? and Alexis says, yes. She held back and didn’t print anything in exchange for Jordan giving her an exclusive. Jordan’s given her the runaround, and she’s worried about waiting. Sam asks what she’s going to do.

Britt asks what Cody is still doing here; leave. Cody says, no. He wants to know about this legacy Faison left her. She says, why? It’s not anything he could sell. He says, he made a mistake. He was truly just trying to help her though. She says, how? By taking 35 million off her hands? He says, it didn’t seem like she wanted it, and if he’d known she was talking about something else… She says, goodbye, for good, and he asks if they’re at that point where she slams the door in his face. He made a mistake; he’s sorry. He knows she has a hard time opening up, just like he has a hard time not putting his foot in his mouth; but he can’t be expected to have the perfect reaction every time. She says she didn’t expect him to have the perfect reaction. Hell, she would have taken something somewhat less mercenary. He asks her to please tell him what it would take for her to give him the benefit of the doubt, and she says, more than she has to give. There’s a knock at the door, and she says, come in. Obrecht walks in, and asks, what is going on here? Cody says, absolutely nothing, and walks out.

On the phone, Victor says, you understand?… Good. He tells Holly that her time has come, and she says, meaning? He says, meaning, Robert has acquired something he wants. It’s in a briefcase. Robert is on his way to the MetroCourt, and it’s Holly’s job to intercept him, and get the briefcase. She says, that’s easy enough, but he says, one little wrinkle. The briefcase is handcuffed to his wrist. She says, he’ll have to uncuff at some point. Tonight when he’s asleep, she’ll steal it. Victor says, but the WSB is on their way to recover the contents of that briefcase as they speak. She asks how the hell she’s supposed to get around that, and he says he doesn’t know. She’ll think of something. Let Ethan be her inspiration.

On the phone, Alexis says she’s the editor-in-chief of The Invader. If they’d be so kind as to give Commissioner Ashford a message from her. Tell her that Alexis will be printing the letter the killer sent to her. It will be on the front page of the paper tomorrow. Ask her if she has any comments.

Willow waits for her treatment, and Michael puts his hand on hers.

Carly sees Nina across the room, and they lock eyes.

Linc tells Brook that he did nothing wrong. No woman ever told him no. She says she did, several times, but he says, she overreacted. She says, the only reason women keep quiet about him, the only reason women hold their noses and let him touch them, is because he’s convinced them if they don’t their careers will go buh-bye. Fortunately for her, she doesn’t have to worry about her singing career anymore. Fortunately for them, they won’t have to worry about him anymore. Not when she becomes their manager. He says, she’s going to poach his clients? and she says, that’s right. She’s not just going to expose him; she’s going to completely ruin him. She’ll destroy him. He says, or… she can get her songs back.

Dante tells Chase, he’s been leaving all these messages for Brook. He had to come here to track her down. Chase says, cut her some slack. Brook has been working 24/7 promoting his new single, booking gigs, you name it. Dante says he’s happy to hear how well everything is going for Chase, and Chase says he can’t complain. Dante says, with this new career Chase has, maybe Brook doesn’t have to write the letter, and Chase says, what letter?

Obrecht tells Britt to let her help, but Britt says, please don’t! She frantically picks things up, and Obrecht asks, what happened? Britt says, nothing. Just one more mistake. Obrecht says she thought Britt and Cody were well on their way to being a couple, but Britt says she doesn’t have the time. Obrecht says, please, tell her what’s wrong so she can help, but Britt says, there’s nothing Obrecht can do. She’s sick.

Holly says, Victor is asking the impossible, but he says, nonsense. She’s ideally placed to retrieve the necklace from her ex-husband, providing she’s not lying about Robert still trusting her. She says, it’s not a question of trust; it’s a question of logistics. He says, then what is she waiting here for? Better get going before the WSB gets their hands on the briefcase.

Robert comes out of the elevator at the MetroCourt, the briefcase cuffed to his wrist.  

Tomorrow, Linc asks if they have a deal or don’t they; Chase asks Dante what letter Brook was supposed to write; Sonny says, it looks like Drew hit a dead end; and Carly says, if Nina wants to come at her, bring it on.

🍗 A Side of Soap With Your Turkey…

See if your soap is on Thanksgiving Day. GH is a rerun, and there’s football on Friday.

🗽 New York Shame…

Not really anything new, but I’m still shaking my head. What’s wrong with people?

🧂 No Shah No Return…

It doesn’t sound like Jen will be returning. I get it, but I’m waiting for the lawsuit that happens when Teresa flings a glass at an innocent bystander. Why is she still on RHONJ?

👩🏾‍🍳 That Was Fast…

This is too bad. Reality is always more palatable when there’s a distraction like a business involved.

🦕 My Advice, Duck…

I’ve seen the parade in person twice. Once from in front of Macy’s, getting there at 6 am on the coldest day of my life. And again from an office I worked at that was on the parade route, accompanied by mimosas and bagels. I don’t need to tell you which was more preferable.
