What I Watched Today

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

General Hospital

Jordan comes into the hospital and asks Laura how Dante is. Has she heard anything? Laura says, not yet. He’s still in the OR. Jordan says she knows how hard this is, but Dante is in the best possible hands here. They couldn’t ask for a better surgical team. She just spoke to Anna. The search for Dante’s shooter is ongoing. They found a few key pieces of evidence and they’re following up. The FBI is also involved. Olivia says she hopes they find the monster that did this to her son, and he’s locked up for the rest of his life, and Sam says, the doctors are doing everything they can for Dante, and they both know how stubborn he is. He’s going to fight this. Olivia says she knows. She’s just got to keep the faith. She thanks Sam for being there for her. She’d be falling apart if it wasn’t for her. But what about Sam? Who’s holding her up? Laura says, they all are, and takes Sam’s hand.

Brook finds Chase, and he asks what she’s doing here. It’s late. He told her that she didn’t have to come. She says, Dante’s her stepbrother. She’s known him for her entire life. She’d be here even if she wasn’t engaged to Chase, but she is. She can see he’s really worried about his partner, and when he hurts, she hurts. They hug.

Drew lets Carly into the Quartermaine mansion and thanks her for coming so quickly. She says, of course (🍷). She came right over. He says, Dante is still in the OR. Everyone’s gathered at GH and he’s watching the boys. Has she heard from Sonny? She says, no. She reached out, but she doesn’t want to push him and Olivia. Is there anything she can do here? How are Rocco and… Danny says, Rocco, what the hell? and the boys come out of the living room, Danny with a handheld game. Danny says, Rocco threw it so hard, he cracked the screen, and Rocco says, bill me, and keeps walking. Drew tells Danny not to worry about the game. They’ll fix it. Danny says, it’s just a stupid game. Rocco’s really hurting. He doesn’t want to deal with this. He just wants his dad.

Spinelli sits down and tells Maxie, it’s impossible. He’s alive and working against Sonny? She asks, who exactly did he see on that screen? He says he saw a dead man walking, and she asks what he’s talking about. He opens the laptop, and she says, oh… my… God. We see the shot of Jason, and she says, it can’t be, can it? He says, pixels don’t lie.

Ava says, it’s him, isn’t it? It’s Jason. Sonny says, it looks like Jason, but it’s a picture. Any digital footage can be manipulated. Why would he believe this is Jason?

Carly says she’s sure Olivia is relieved that Leo’s away with Ned right now, and Drew says, Ned had a business trip in Australia and Leo was out of school, so he took Leo to see the Great Barrier Reef. They’re on their way back after hearing the news about Dante. She says, so it’s just Rocco and Danny here with him and he says, yeah. He’s really worried about them. Rocco is an emotional kid. He wears his heart right on his sleeve. She says, what about Danny? and he says, Danny just pretends he doesn’t have any feelings at all. His phone rings and he asks Sam, how’s Dante? Sam says, he’s the same. She was just checking in to see how the boys are doing. How’s Danny? Drew says, he’s doing his best. He’s trying to hang in there for Rocco’s sake, but it’s not easy. She asks how Rocco is doing, and Drew says, he needs a hug. Sam thanks him for staying there. Help is on the way.

Sam asks if she can talk to Laura for a second and Laura says, of course (🍷). They step aside, and Sam wonders if she can ask Laura for a favor. Laura says, anything, and Sam asks if Laura can leave.

Brook asks if she can get Chase anything. When was the last time he ate? He says he doesn’t need food. He needs to feel like he’s doing something. He should be out there looking for whoever shot Dante. Jordan joins them and says, Anna thinks he’s too close to the situation and she’s right. Let her handle this. He’s right where he needs to be. Chase says he just feels so helpless, pacing around, not doing anything. He needs to feel like he’s helpful. He’s going to donate some blood. If Dante doesn’t need it, maybe somebody else will. He asks Brook to call him immediately if she finds anything out, and she says she will. He leaves, and Brook says, Jordan’s been in law enforcement a while. Jordan says she was, and Brook asks if she was ever in a similar situation; a partner or someone she’s close to got shot in the line of duty? Jordan says, more than once and it was a nightmare every time.

Maxie says, Jason’s alive. He didn’t die on Cassadine Island. Spinelli says, clearly, he survived the tunnel collapse, and she says, how? And if he’s alive, why didn’t he come home? He says, it makes no sense. Jason would never willingly stay away from… Someone knocks at the door and John says, FBI. They have a search warrant. Spinelli hits a key on the laptop, then unlocks the door. John comes in with another agent.

Ava says, that was her first thought too, this has got to be some kind of deepfake, and Sonny says, that’s the only thing that makes sense. She says, Spinelli verified it. It’s live footage, directly from the drone camera. It hasn’t been doctored. It’s real. He says, if that’s true, not only is Jason alive, he was at the warehouse tonight working with the shooter. She says, and Sonny was the target, which means his best friend is now his enemy.

Oliva wonders why they don’t have an update yet. What the hell is taking so long? Sam says, it’s a complicated surgery. Not having an update isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Olivia says she knows, but she’s going out of her mind. She just wants to know what’s going on in there. Sam says she was thinking about what they were talking about earlier, how Olivia said how strong Dante was and how much it took for him to come out of that PTSD. He did that for Olivia. He came back to her. Olivia says, Sam had a lot to do with that, and Sam says she’s still here and Dante is still here. And he’s a fighter. He’s not going to give up now.

Brook tells Jordan, Chase is a cop. She’s always known that, and she’s always known intellectually that what he does is dangerous, that he’s taking a risk every time he goes to work. Somehow, she convinced herself that he’ll be safe. That nothing will ever happen to him. Chase has always said Dante is the best cop he’s ever known; he’s smart and prepared. So if something like this could happen to Dante, then… Forget it. This is about Dante. This isn’t about her paranoia. Jordan says, she was right when she said Chase’s job carries risks, but if she has questions about that, then she really needs to talk to him. Brook says, Chase is in no condition to deal with that right now. He’s focused on Dante, and she doesn’t want him to misconstrue what she’s asking. He might think she doesn’t support him being a cop. Jordan says she gets that, and Brook says, Jordan was in the line of fire, putting her life on the line while her family was home, waiting to see when or even if she’d return. How did she make that work? Jordan tells Brook that she just said it. It’s work. And to be completely honest with Brook, her relationship to Curtis failed in part because she tried to compartmentalize her job from him, and it only drove them apart. Brook says, it sounds like she has some regrets about that, and Jordan says, it’s water under the bridge now, but her advice to Brook is, learn from her mistakes. Let Chase know that he doesn’t have to shield her from the risks of his job, but at the same time, Brook has to be honest with him. Don’t withhold her feelings or lie about her fears by denying what she’s feeling.

Drew says, it’s good to see Laura, although it would be nice if it were under different circumstances, and Carly asks if there’s any word on how Dante’s doing. Laura says she wishes she had some news for them, but when she left the hospital, he was still in surgery. Drew says, hopefully, they’ll be getting some news soon, and thanks Laura for coming. He assumes Sam filled her in. Laura says she’s aware of the situation, and Drew says he made it a little bit easier. Carly says, Drew has been with both the boys since they found out what happened to Dante. He’s been doing great, but they’re two different boys, so they have two different needs. Laura says she’s happy to help them, so may she suggest they divide and conquer? She’ll talk to her grandson and the two of them can focus on Danny? Carly thanks her and the boys come back. Rocco says he heard her voice. Is his dad okay? Laura says, he was still in surgery when she left the hospital, but he has the very best team of doctors and they’re doing absolutely everything they can. She knows he’s old enough to know the truth. She guesses the truth is, his dad’s got quite a fight on his hands.

Spinelli says, it’s an honor to finally make John’s acquaintance. His reputation precedes him. John says he’s heard about Spinelli. Damien Spinelli, computer genius and known associate of Sonny Corinthos. Spinelli tells him, he wouldn’t say genius. He dabbles. John says, and she is? and Spinelli says, a friend who has no idea what’s happening. In fact, she was just leaving. John says, she’s here, so she stays. They found Spinelli’s cameras all over the warehouse at 257 Water Street. They were run through a lot of proxy servers, so they couldn’t get a trace, but fortunately, they were able to identify his DNA on the hardware. Spinelli mumbles that he should have used gloves, and John says, he seems like a decent guy and someone who’s smart enough not to ruin the rest of their life on this. He has no desire to fold Spinelli into Sonny’s problems, but he’s tracking a team of gunmen, and Spinelli is the best lead he has. So if Spinelli would kindly show him what’s on that footage… Spinelli says, as much as he would enjoy cooperating with the FBI, he regretfully cannot help him. He shows John a black screen that says the data is missing.

Sonny tells Ava, if the footage is real, that doesn’t make any sense. They’ve always had each other’s back. If they had a problem with each other, Jason would come face to face and tell him, not shoot him from a safe distance. Ava says she knows how he feels about Jason. He was like a member of Sonny’s family. That was no secret. A lot of people knew that, right? Maybe somebody is trying to use that to their advantage. Sonny says, Jason would never let himself be used against him. They’ve been through a lot. Jason wouldn’t do that to him. She says, then she guesses he’s got to ask himself something. Why hasn’t Jason come to him to warn him when he knows those people want Sonny dead?

John says, put it back, and Spinelli says, put what back? John says, whatever he deleted from the surveillance footage, but Spinelli says, he couldn’t if he’d wanted to. There was no time. Maxie’s been here the whole time. Has she seen him do anything? She says she doesn’t understand how any of this works.

Brook asks, how’d it go? and Chase says, good. He was able to donate some blood and clear his head a little. She says she’s glad, and they hug. He asks what he missed, when Portia comes out. Sam asks, how’s Dante? and Portia says, she’s being told that the surgery is going well, but there’s a lot of damage. Sam asks, how much damage? and Portia says, he has trauma to his heart and to his lungs. He also has broken ribs and sternum, but Dr. Erikson and his team are making progress and Dante’s vitals are good. Olivia says, so he still has a chance?

Carly asks Danny to hold up a minute, and he asks, what’s up? She says she just wanted to check on him. See how he’s doing. Danny says, he’s Rocco’s dad, and Carly says she knows, but he’s a big part of Danny’s life. It’s okay to admit he’s upset, and he cares. He says he’s fine, but he’s got a lot of homework, so… He starts to go upstairs, and she asks if anyone ever told him that he’s just like his dad.

Laura says she understands there was a little incident with a video game tonight, and Rocco says, Danny’s a jerk to whine to them about it. He didn’t mean to break the stupid game. She says, Danny didn’t whine about it at all. Danny’s worried about him and so is she. He says he’s fine, and she asks what video game they were playing. He says, she wouldn’t know it, but she says, he might be surprised. She knows more than he thinks. She’s actually somewhat of a Super Mario Brothers expert. The kids played it all the time when they were growing up, so one day she decided to have a go at it because she wanted to know why they liked it so much and she has to say, she ended up getting a little bit addicted. He says, how addicted? and she says, it’s not like anybody had to do an intervention for her, but she did play a lot. In the beginning, she didn’t know what she was doing at all of course (🍷), but she picked it up pretty quickly and has actually been known to do a few speedruns. He says he wants to see that, and she says, maybe they should play together someday. He says his dad is really good at video games too. Maybe he can play with them when he gets better. She says, they can talk about what’s going on with his dad if he likes. She’s here to listen. He says he doesn’t think he wants to, and she says, okay. She just wants him to know it’s okay to be scared right now, because it’s a scary situation. He says, Danny isn’t scared, but she tells him that she doesn’t think she would say that. He may not know how to show it, but she knows he’s scared. She is too.

Maxie shows Spinelli her handcuffs and says, anymore bright ideas? Also in handcuffs, he says, it worked, didn’t it? and she shows him her cuffs again. He says, John didn’t see him do anything untoward, so she’s in the clear. Just follow his lead and everything will be fine. John joins them and says, let him guess. Spinelli rigged his equipment with a kill switch just in case he got caught. Spinelli gives a blank look, and Maxie says, wait a minute. He’s John Cates, the one who used to live in Port Charles. John says, he is. Why? Maxie says she remembers how much her stepdad talked about him. He really likes John. John asks, who’s her stepdad? and she says, Mac Scorpio. He says, she’s Maxie Jones? Wow. It has been a long time. She says she’s sorry it took her so long to recognize him. Mac is out of the country, otherwise she’s sure Mac would love to see him. He respects John so much. John says, the feeling’s mutual, and Maxie says, so she’s sure he can understand, growing up with Mac as a stepdad, she’d never do anything to impede an ongoing investigation. So if he could just take these off, they can forget this ever happened. John says, how about this? She gives Mac his best and tell Mac that he’s sorry he had to arrest his daughter for obstruction of justice.

Sonny hands the tablet back to Ava and says, if it is Jason, he probably has a motive, has a good reason for doing what he’s doing. Ava says, maybe he’s counting on Sonny believing that. If Jason is involved in some plot to kill him, then Sonny giving him the benefit of the doubt would give him time to set another plan in motion. Until they have more information, they’re just guessing. He tells her that he has to go see how Dante is, and starts to leave, but she says, they were lying in wait for him tonight. Not so very different from what happened in Puerto Rico. And he said it has to be somebody on the inside. Somebody with an intimate knowledge of his property, his business, and who knows his operation better than Jason? He says, she’s not judge and jury, and she says she knows. Believe her. She doesn’t want Jason to be guilty. She’s just trying to figure out what’s going on. He says, that’s what he’s trying to do. It doesn’t add up. She says she knows. This mystery man behind the attacks, didn’t he go by the name Stone? And didn’t Spinelli often refer to Jason as Stone Cold? Jason never hesitated to pull the trigger when it meant protecting Sonny. What if he’s come back and he’s ready to use those same deadly skills and knowledge to take Sonny out?

Laura says, Rocco’s dad dedicated his life to helping other people. So many people’s lives are better because of what his dad does every day. Never forget that. Rocco should always be really proud of him. Rocco says he is. His dad’s the best. But what if… She says, we don’t know what life has in store for us. Sometimes bad things happen, as he knows, and when they do, the only thing they can control is how they react to them. He hasn’t given up hope of his mom waking up from her coma, has he? He says, of course (🍷) not, and she says, then how can they give up on his dad? He’s getting the best possible care at General Hospital. So what they need to do, the best they can do, is stay as positive as they can while they wait for the news. And she’ll be here for him as long as he needs her to be. He says he loves her, and they hug. She says she loves him too, so much.

Danny says, sometimes his mom says he reminds her of his dad, and Carly says, he’s more like his dad all the time, especially tonight. He asks what she means, and she asks if they can sit. They sit on the steps, and she says, it’s not that he doesn’t feel things. He just doesn’t want to show his feelings. And Jason was like that. If he let himself react, he was afraid he might lose control and might hurt himself or someone else, and he didn’t want to do that, so he would just shut down and he would be okay. He’d be the one to handle everything. Danny says, there’s nothing to handle. All they’re doing is waiting. She asks if he’s good at waiting patiently, but he says, not really, and she says, neither was his father. He says, that’s not true. Everyone said he could wait for something, no matter how long it took. She says, that was discipline. Jason wasn’t naturally patient. If anything, it was just the opposite. Jason’s first impulse was to run right at something. She guesses that’s why they got along so well, because that’s her first impulse too. He says, it does kind of sound like him, and she says she knows what it’s costing him to sit around and wait, but it’s where he should be. Because whether he’ll admit it or not, Rocco needs him.

Sam thanks Portia, who says, of course (🍷), and leaves. Sam says, Olivia heard Portia. He has a chance. Olivia says she’s sorry. She’s just out of her mind right now. It’s surreal. A couple hours ago, they were eating cake and laughing at Scout’s birthday party. Now, in the blink of an eye, her son is in there fighting for his life. Sam hugs Olivia.

Chase and Brook step away, and Chase says he appreciates Brook insisting on waiting with him, but it could be hours still. Go home. Get some sleep. She says she doesn’t want to leave, and he says he knows. It’s just… She says, it’s just what? Talk to her. He says, this isn’t what she signed up for. He chose this life. He knew the risks of becoming a cop. She didn’t choose this. He needs her to know that it’s not too late for her to say that this isn’t the life she wants. (He’s very sweet, but once again, a dude is telling a woman that she has no decision-making skills and can’t speak up for herself.)

Jordan tells Portia, Dante is a good police officer and an even better man. Being like this, waiting for word on a cop who’s been shot, she just can’t help being reminded of another late night when another great cop was shot, in the prime of his life, and he didn’t survive. Portia says, she’s talking about Nathan West. She never got a chance to meet him, but from everything she’s heard, he sounds like a remarkable man. Jordan says, he was, and she hates that he never got to live his life with Maxie, be a dad. Another hero cop gone too soon. Then again, everyone who puts on the badge and lives up to the motto is a hero in her eyes.

Spinelli tells John, Maxie had nothing to do with this. Do whatever John wants to him, but please, leave her out of it. Maxie says she appreciates Spinelli trying to save her, but if he’s going down, he’s not going down alone. She tells John that she and Damien Spinelli are a team, and Spinelli says, they are? She says, yeah, and Spinelli says, they are. And since John has no evidence against them… John says, because Spinelli deleted the file? and Spinelli says, no. John says, that’s only a temporary setback. They have experts too. (I have to laugh at how Spinelli and Maxie look like little kids being lectured by the principal.) Although it will take them a while, they will recover the footage he deleted. Then they will follow it to wherever or whoever it leads.

Ava says she knows it might be incredibly painful to even think that Jason might betray Sonny, but there’s an awful lot of evidence here. Sonny says, circumstantial evidence. There’s no way the man he trusted more than anybody in the world would stab him in the back. She says, try not to be emotional about it. Just look at the facts, okay? Before Jason left for Cassadine Island, there was a distance between them. Things had changed. They were tense even. Sonny says, they had disagreements before, and Ava says, maybe so, but all the evidence here leads to one conclusion. Somehow, Jason survived that tunnel collapse, he’s come back to Port Charles to settle a score, and Sonny is playing right into his hands.

📑 Okay, let’s look at other facts. Sonny hasn’t been hit despite three attempts. True, Curtis was mistakenly shot, but he wandered into the scene at the last minute, and it looks like Jason is more the supervisor. Would Jason have screwed up a shot three times?

Brook says, Chase is right about one thing. She had no idea what she was getting herself into when she fell in love with a cop. She’s scared to death every, single day that the next call that comes in about an injured officer could be him fighting for his life. Chase says he understands. It’s a lot to ask of someone and it’s not an easy life, so if she wants out… She asks him, who says she wants out? and he tells her that she just said that. She says she told him that she’s scared, and she is. But she also loves him too much to try and hide this fear from him. Or start their marriage by being anything other than completely honest with him, so she’s sharing this fear with him. If they’re going to be husband and wife, she wants to share everything with him, including her fear of losing him. So don’t tell her to go. Promise her that he’ll never tell her that. He says he promises, and hugs her.

Sam says, sometimes she wishes that Dante would have become an executive and worked for Drew at Aurora – Olivia laughs – or for Ned at ELQ. Olivia says, he would have hated every minute of that, and Sam says, then he could have learned a different trade. He could have been a mechanic or a plumber or something. Olivia says, all of his uncles were mechanics. All of them. He never had the feel for it. If you can’t figure out how to fix a car, you’re probably not going to have a lot of luck fixing plumbing. Sam says, what about baseball coach? That’s perfect for him. Olivia says, he would love that, and Sam says, see? Olivia says, but not as much as he loves being a cop. It means everything to him. It’s everything he believes in. She swears, when he told her that’s what he wanted to be, she burst into tears. She begged him, anything else. A paramedic… anything, but he was so sure, and he was so excited. He was so proud. What could she do? He’s her baby, so she gave him a hug. Sam says, there is no Dante the executive, or Dante the plumber, or Dante the baseball coach. She only said those things because the other thing makes her scared sometimes, but it’s Dante the cop, and she doesn’t think they’d have it any other way, would they? Olivia shakes her head and takes Sam’s hand.

Drew comes into the living room and asks how it’s going in here. Messing with her phone, Laura says, great. They’re just making a gaming date for when Dante is better so he can play with them. Rocco says, they’re going to let dad pick the game, so he has the best chance to win, and they laugh. Drew says, sounds like a plan, and Laura says, but it is getting late, isn’t it? How about if she brings Rocco home and he spends the night with her and Doc? Rocco says, does he have to? and she says, of course (🍷) not. Not if he doesn’t want to. He says he’d rather stay here, just in case Scout has a bad dream and wakes up scared. His dad would want him to take care of her.

John says, the two of them have given him no choice, and tells the agent to take Maxie and Spinelli into custody. Spinelli says, no, he can’t. Maxie has some young children at home. They need her. John says, this is out of his hands now (and I wonder if he’s having a hard time not laughing). He could call Felicia and let her know. Maxie says, no, no, no. Please do not call her mom. She doesn’t want her to worry. She tells Spinelli, although she does think her mom would be proud that they took a stand for one of their best friends. That guy in the footage saved their lives on more than one occasion. They should really repay the favor. John says, one of their best friends, huh? That sounds like somebody who has a lot of friends, someone who’s made a name for himself. That should narrow it down quite a bit. Thank you so much. He hopes their good deed gives them solace when they’re pacing around inside their cell. Spinelli says he made a copy, and John says, no kidding. Maxie tells Spinelli not to say another word. She looks at John and says she can handle whatever happens to her. Spinelli tells her that he has no doubt, but he won’t let the mother of his child be incarcerated for something he did. He tells John, there was a drone recording as it was circling the roof. The footage is in the back-up drive. John says, that wasn’t so hard, was it? and picks up the drive. He says he’s assuming this has got a password, and Spinelli says, does John think he’s an amateur? John says, just give it to him, and Spinelli says, fine. M-A-X-I-M-I-S-T-A. Maxie says, aww!

Sonny says, Ava makes a good argument, but it just… He can’t believe that Jason would be out to kill him. Ava says, well, okay. That settles it. He says, that’s it? She’s not going to keep giving him reasons why he’s cutting his own throat? She says, nope, and gets up. She laid out the facts as she sees them, and he believes in Jason’s innocence. Sonny knows him better than she does, and she trusts Sonny’s judgement. Sonny gets up, thanks her, and says he needed to hear that. It’s very hard for him to trust anybody right now, especially after what happened with Michael and Dex. He can’t even trust his own instincts right now. She says, he made it very clear that he trusts Jason, and he tells her that he didn’t say he trusted him 100%. She says, he just has to promise her something. He has to promise her that he’s going to be careful. Look both ways and all that. He says, if he didn’t know any better, he’d think that she actually cared for him.

Maxie says, Spinelli just gave up their friend to the Feds, but Spinelli says, he has full faith that their friend can take care of himself. She says, obviously, but she’s never seen Spinelli be anything but loyal to him. He says he had good reason for his actions tonight. Doing this keeps her out of jail. She’ll be able to live her life and be with the kids. They need her. And no matter what happens to him, he’ll be happy knowing that. Because she’s not just the mother of his child, she’s the woman he loves. They kiss.

Drew helps Laura on with her coat and thanks her for coming. Rocco seems to be a little bit better after talking to her. She says she feels better after talking to Rocco. She actually thinks it’s a really good sign that he wants to stay here and look after Scout. Sometimes the best way to help yourself is by helping somebody else. They say goodnight and Laura leaves. Carly comes downstairs and says she just looked in on Scout. She’s sound asleep. Drew says, she’s probably worn out from her birthday party. It was only a few hours ago. Carly says, it’s crazy, and gets her coat. Drew helps her on with it, and she says, they’re going to have a huge celebration when Dante gets out of the hospital, but until then, she needs to get home and just relax. He thanks her for coming. It really helped with Danny a lot. She says, just remember, no matter how he acts, Danny feels things just as deeply as the other boys. Maybe even more. He kisses her and she leaves.

In the living room, Rocco looks at a photo of Dante on his phone. Danny sits next to him, and Rocco scoots over so their shoulders are touching.

Portia says, Dante’s out of surgery. They’re moving him to the ICU. Sam says, that’s great news, and Olivia says she wants to hug everyone who was in the room with him right now. Brook says, their prayers worked, and Chase says, they sure did. Portia says, Dante is still in critical condition, but the doctors believe they’ve repaired all the damage. Jordan says, then there’s a good chance Dante will recover, and Portia says, let’s get him through the night, but this is a huge step in the right direction. Chase says, Brook has been holding him up. What can he do for her? Just name it. She says, take her home, and he says, she’s got it. Olivia says she told Sam that he was a fighter. He’s hanging in there just like they knew he would. They hug.

John looks at the footage, and the other agent asks what he’s going to do with Damien Spinelli. John says, time will tell. They got what they wanted. And now they’re going after Jason Morgan.

Ava says, of course (🍷) she cares about Sonny. He’s Avery’s father. Her little girl would be lost without him. He says he’d be lost without her too… Avery, and Ava says, of course (🍷). He moves closer to her and says, remember when he told her that it felt like she was the only person he can trust? She says she remembers, and he says, wouldn’t it be funny if that were true? It looks like they might kiss, but we have to wait.

Tomorrow, Sam has good news; Nina says, Ava knows more about this than she’s telling; Dex tells Michael and Willow that they do know something about the person who shot him (presumably Dante); and Sonny tells Diane that they’re going to find out who did this and take care of the situation.
