What I Watched Today

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

General Hospital

Carly tells Jason, Nina knew the whole time Sonny was alive. They got married, and she knew. He says she can’t burn Nina’s life down, and she says, watch her. He says, why let Nina be the victim after all the hell she’s put everybody through? Carly says, Nina needs to pay, and he says, so stand back and let her pay the consequences. Let people hate her the way she deserves. Isn’t it more satisfying that she loses everything and has only herself to blame? She says, fine; she’ll back off. She asks why he’s looking at her, and he says he wants her to mean what she’s saying right now. She says she gets it. If she goes after Nina, Nina will make her out to be the bad guy, and she can’t go down that road again. Nina is so lucky that Jason got there. He says, Josslyn told him, so he had her phone tracked. She says, Josslyn must be so worried and confused, and he says, Josslyn’s exact words were that she was meddling, but she was concerned things might escalate. She says, Josslyn was right. Can he believe Nina knew Sonny was alive? He says, Sonny told him, and was going to tell her. She says she can’t believe what’s happening. She has to go. He asks where she’s going, and she promises not to go anywhere near Nina, and walks out past Ned, slamming the door. Ned asks Jason, what happened? Or is it about to happen?

Alexis finds Shawn in the library setting up the checkerboard. He says she owes him a rematch. She sits down and says she doesn’t know what the point is; he’s going to lose. She has an idea. Why doesn’t he tell her what’s going on with Hayden’s investigation? He said they were a good team. He says, this might come as a surprise to her, but they don’t always have to be on a mission. He says maybe he’s just here for the company, but she says, maybe the company doesn’t find it very exciting to keep beating him at checkers. So let her be his sounding board. Maybe she can help him find out who really tried to kill Hayden.

On the phone, Doc says, Laura coming home soon makes him happy. How are she and Martin getting along? Any sibling rivalry over the TV remote?… That’s good. Doc’s glad he knows his place… Spencer has settled back into Windymere. Hopefully he and Nikolas can smooth things over… He’s afraid not. Ava is still leaving Port Charles. Ava knocks at Doc’s office door, and says she hasn’t left yet. She still has some unfinished business.

Cameron asks what Spencer is talking about. What could he have possibly done to make him feel like he doesn’t deserve a relationship with his own father? He’s known Spencer a long time. He’s seen Spencer at his best, and seen him at his worst, and a lot of those times, the worst outweighed the best. He hopes Spencer knows, he’ll always be there for him, no matter what he’s done. Spencer says, it’s easy for Cameron to say. He’s been in boarding school in Europe while Cameron and Josslyn were at PC High. He’s changed; they all have. Cameron says, if Spencer wants to make a list, and compare the terrible things they’ve done, trust him, he’s in no position to judge. Spencer says Cameron might not, but Trina is a whole other story. Cameron tells him, who says she has to know? and Spencer asks if he can really make that promise. What about Josslyn? The three of them are pretty tight. Cameron says they only have to know what Spencer wants them to know. Spencer says he’s got to admit, it’s been killing him, when the doorbell rings. Cameron asks if Spencer is expecting anyone, and Spencer says, whoever it is, he’ll send them packing. Spencer opens the door, and Trina says, surprise.

Sonny asks how he can help Esme, and she introduces herself. Josslyn pops her head out from around the corner, and Esme says she thought Sonny would like to know Spencer is back in Port Charles. Sonny asks when Spencer arrived, and what he’s been up to, and Esme says, he came home early this summer to surprise his dad… and it’s been one eventful reunion. He asks if Spencer is in trouble, and she says, Spence isn’t, but his father might be. Josslyn watches.

Trina says she thought Spencer would be glad to see her, given their history. She says hi to Cameron, adding that she didn’t think he’d be there. Spencer wonders why security didn’t tell him she was arriving on the launch, and she says, they remembered she had VIP status from his party. They knew she’d always be welcome. Is she interrupting? Spencer says he and Cameron were just catching up. He’s always happy to see her, but why didn’t she call first? Cameron says, good question, and Trina says she needed to show Ava some documents before she took off for Bora Bora with Spencer’s dad. Spencer says, Ava’s not here. Neither is his father. It sounds like she should be looking for them at the airport.

Doc says Laura heard right. Ava just arrived, and it sounds like she’d like to have a talk… He will… Her too. He loves her. He tells Ava that Laura wishes her safe travels, and wants him to tell her that this isn’t goodbye. She expects Ava to return to Port Charles once the police find her stalker. Ava says, sounds like an excellent plan, and asks when Laura returns from her mayor business in DC. He says, soon. Is she sure she doesn’t want to wait and say goodbye in person? She says she can’t. She has a flight booked for London, and sublet a flat. The wheels are definitely in motion. He says he’s sure Laura will understand, and Ava says she stopped by to let him know the divorce papers are filed, and she’s said goodbye to Nikolas. He says, and Avery? She says, Avery is safe with Carly… and Sonny. She’s sure he’s heard about Sonny’s return. He says he has, and he’s very happy for Sonny’s family. She says, Avery is over the moon to have her daddy back. It makes leaving her a little bit easier. He says he does have some free time right now, if she’d like to talk about what’s going on, but she says she’s not there for counseling. She needs for him to make her a promise.

Alexis gives Shawn some coffee, and he asks if Sam knows she wants to be a private investigator. She says she doesn’t have to be a private investigator. She used to be a lawyer, and she’s a Cassadine. She has a very unique perspective on the criminal mind. He says, and he’s worked with criminals for years, not to mention being locked up with them. He thinks he has a similar perspective. She says she sees where this is going. He’s afraid she’s going to get all this information, share it with TJ and Molly, and they’re going to go off on another crusade. He says, that’s a very real consideration. Speaking of Molly and TJ, they’re never home. He thought maybe they’d share dinner once in a while, watch a movie on TV. He microwaves a mean bag of popcorn. She says, nice deflection. What is it he’s trying so hard not to tell her? He knows how she is, and he knows she’s not going to let it go. He says, Jordan’s been injured, and she says she’s sorry; what happened? He says she was trying to help him. Things went sideways. She asks, how? and he says, she was helping him look into Naomie Dreyfuss’s murder. They found a passenger, Roger Barstow, who sat next to her on the plane back to Port Charles. She asks if that was helpful, and he says, Jordan went to interview him at his home. Just as she arrived, who should show up but Curtis and Portia. She asks what they were doing there, and he says, following their own lead. Curtis is helping Sam look into whether Drew is still alive, and if he is, what happened to him. She says, so his investigation and their investigation led to the same house. He says, that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Ned asks Jason, so Nina knew Sonny was alive, and just kept visiting Wiley there at Michael’s house, and didn’t say a word? Jason says, that’s why Carly slammed out. Now he knows. Ned says he can only imagine how Michael and Willow will feel. They gave Nina a lot of time with her grandson, which she clearly didn’t deserve. She’s disrupted a lot of lives, Jason’s included. What happens to Jason now that Sonny’s back?

Did Nina make secret visits to Wiley? Because I only remember her visiting once since she went to Nixon Falls, and they’re acting like she was practically hanging out there all summer.

Jax opens the door to Carly, who stomps in, asking, what the hell was he thinking? He says he guesses she spoke to Nina, and she says, he knew Sonny was alive, and conspired with Nina… He says he didn’t conspire. He wasn’t part of Nina’s lies. She says he knew Sonny was in Nixon Falls, but he says he had a hunch; he didn’t know for sure. She says he should have told her about the hunch. She was getting married. He says they’d been fighting so much lately, if he had come to her and said he thought Sonny was alive, she would have accused him of preventing her from marrying Jason. She says he’s been trying to control how she lives her life, and he says, in what universe does Sonny not being home further his agenda? Does she honestly think he wants her with Sonny or Jason? She makes a mean, stupid face at him, and shakes her head.

Sonny asks how Nikolas is in trouble, and Esme says, it involves Mr. Cassadine and his wife, Ava Jerome. He says he knows; they’re divorced. She says, of course (🍷) he would know. He and Ms. Jerome co-parent their daughter Avery, right? She’s sure he thinks it’s none of her business, but Spence adores that little girl. The last thing she wants is for Spence to get hurt. Sonny asks, why would he? and she says she overheard Mr. Cassadine talking on the phone. It sounded like he and Ava plan to leave Port Charles today, and take Sonny’s daughter Avery with them. Josslyn leans back against the wall, and says, she wishes she could hear them.

Carly tells Jax, she loves Sonny. She never would have married Jason if she knew Sonny was alive; he knows that. He says he didn’t have time to tell her. Everything he did in Nixon Falls was to help bring Sonny home to her and the family. She asks how he even knew Sonny was in Nixon Falls, and he says it’s going to sound crazy. Does she remember when Josslyn and Trina came looking for him in Nixon Falls? Trina happened to bring home a homemade jar of marinara sauce she picked up from a bar there. Josslyn used that sauce to make him dinner the other night, and she thought it tasted exactly the way Sonny used to make it. She says, he thought Sonny was in a bar in Nixon Falls, making sauce? like this is the worst thing in the world, but he says, no. Remember the first time he was there, and he got shot? When he was on the gurney, and they were about to put him in the ambulance, he thought he saw Sonny. She asks why he didn’t tell her and Josslyn? and he says, because Nina convinced him that he was hallucinating. Carly raises her fists and grits her teeth, saying, Nina’s lied to him for months. Why isn’t he more angry? Ha! She’s such a piece of work. Because she’s more angry, everyone should be. And all the faces she makes. Ugh.

Shawn tells Alexis, because of the gas she inhaled in Barstow’s basement, Jordan’s remaining kidney was compromised. She needs outpatient treatment in a clinic in Albany that specializes in nephrology. She says, poor Jordan, but it’s good Portia is making a full recovery. She has questions. What’s the connection between Dreyfuss and Barstow, and who is the man Curtis chased into the woods, and does Shawn think he could have killed Barstow? And how does Drew’s plane crash relate to all this? He says he can’t answer any of those questions. Although they do have a tenuous connection between Roger Barstow and Drew Cain’s plane crash. She asks what it is, and he says, the Creighton-Clark clinic.

Doc pulls out a chair for Ava, and says he’s at her service. What kind of promise would she like him to make? She sits, and says, he knows how deep Nikolas’s emotions run – they’re either in a very good place, or a very bad place. Doc says, right now, he’s in a bad place because he’s losing his wife, and she says she’s hoping her absence allows him to work on his relationship with Spencer, because she won’t be around for him to worry about anymore. He says, sometimes the absence of a loved one just makes you miss them more, and she says, like he misses Laura? She is a bit worried about Nikolas. Can he look out for Nikolas? Just make sure he doesn’t give in to his darker impulses?

Josslyn takes a photo of Esme talking to Sonny. Sonny asks if Esme heard Nikolas say he’s taking off with Avery, and she says, he was booking a first class flight to Bora Bora for himself, Miss Jerome, and Sonny’s daughter. She’s sure he thinks he’s protecting Avery from the stalker, but she thought Sonny should know. He says she was right to come to her with this. Thanks for filling him in. He leaves, and Josslyn comes out, and looks at Esme.   

Trina asks if Spencer’s dad told him that he and Ava kissed and made up, but Spencer says, Cameron did. Cameron says, after Trina told him that he booked first class reservations for Nikolas and Ava, he assumed Nikolas had already told Spencer. Trina says, Ava already told her, and she was so excited. Spencer’s phone rings, and he says he has to get this. Trina says, it’s not his dad, is it? but Spencer says he thinks his dad is too busy flirting with Ava to remember he has a son. Privacy please. Trina and Cameron go to the entryway, Cameron closing the door behind them. Trina asks what Cameron is doing there. He was supposed to tell Spencer the lie about Bora Bora, then leave. Thereby giving Spencer the freedom to leave Windymere, and them the freedom to tail him. The way this is going, they might never find out if he’s Ava’s stalker.

Spencer asks Esme, where are you? She says, relax. She took care of things. Daddy dearest won’t be taking off to Bora Bora with the wicked wife. He asks, why not? and she says she told him that she took care of things. He says, what did she do?

Ava tells Doc, for two people who started off manipulating one another, she and Nikolas formed a very strong bond. He says, some might even call it love, and she says, maybe it’s the difference in their backgrounds. She’s much more pragmatic. She hates leaving, but knows it’s something she has to do. She knows she’ll miss her life there, especially Avery. Of course (🍷) she’ll miss Nikolas. She’s sure she’ll probably shed a tear or two, but she knows she’ll be all right. Nikolas isn’t like that. He’s not used to compromise, to having to adjust. She’s worried that once the reality of her absence sets in, he won’t react well. That’s why she needs Doc to look after him. Doc asks, who’s going to look after her? and she says she’ll look after herself. She won’t be anybody’s victim. Never again. She thanks him for everything, and tells Doc, take good care of him. And please give that beautiful wife of his a hug. She hugs Doc, and he says he will. He tells her to take care too.

Shawn tells Alexis, Roger Barstow worked in the records department at Creighton-Clark. Drew was there for at least six months. Curtis thought there might be something in the records tied to Drew’s disappearance. Portia went with him, hoping her doctor status would encourage Barstow to share files. Alexis says, instead, Jordan found him murdered in the basement, and Shawn says he wishes he could find out if Barstow working at the clinic is relevant to him sitting next to Naomie on the plane. Or is it just some bizarre coincidence? She says, he told her they bought their plane tickets together. That doesn’t strike her as a coincidence. He says he’s more interested in her reaction when he mentioned Creighton-Clark, and she says, Drew was her former son-in-law. He says, of course (🍷). She would have heard mention of the clinic, and know Robin was instrumental in his escape. She says, there’s that, but it turns out she has a more direct family connection to Creighton-Clark.

Cameron says, what is he still doing there? What is Trina doing there in the first place? That was not part of the plan. She says she had to improvise when Joss left to tail Esme, and there was no sign of him at the pier. He says, Spencer was about to tell him something really important, and she says, Spencer told Cameron that he was Ava’s stalker? He says, it was kind of heading in that direction. He didn’t say the words exactly, but she blew it the moment she walked in.

Spencer tells Esme not to play around. How did she take care of things between his father and Ava? Are they reconciled or aren’t they? She says, don’t worry about the minor details; focus on the big picture. His father is going to be convinced to stay in Port Charles by someone a lot more persuasive than him. He says, this is not making him feel better, but she says, it’s too late. She lit the match, and the fuse is burning. Oh, one more thing. The explosion happens at Windymere, and he doesn’t want to be around.

Doc sees Josslyn, and says, hello. He asks if everything is all right. Esme realizes Josslyn has been there.

Jason tells Ned, Sonny is back, so things just go back to normal. Ned says, and by normal, he means Carly and Sonny are still married, and Jason is once again Sonny’s loyal lieutenant. Jason says, pretty much, and Ned assumes Jason is thrilled, but doubts Jason’s mother will be. He knows she said she supported Jason and Carly being married. That’s because Jason told her that he was happy, and that’s all Monica wants for him. Still, he imagines she’ll be relieved that he and Carly are no longer husband and wife. Jason says, probably, and Ned says, the downside is Sonny’s back, a man she’s loathed since the day Jason started to work for him. Jason says, it was always his choice to work for Sonny, and Ned says Jason doesn’t need to defend Sonny. He is who he is. He did what he did. The point is, now he’s back, which means once again he’ll be calling the shots, while Jason will be taking all the risks. That has to be a nightmare for his mother.

Jax tells Carly, Nina made the wrong choice with good intentions. She thought she was protecting Sonny from his old life. She says, protecting Sonny? and he says, she thought he was happier in Nixon Falls. Carly laughs, and says, she’s a liar. She was doing it to protect Sonny, she was doing it to save her relationship with Wiley, when the fact is, Nina still blames her for what happened to Nelle, so this is payback, plain and simple. He says, it’s true that Nina was traumatized by everything that happened to Nelle, but was she really wrong about Sonny’s safety? He heard a limo blew up outside of her wedding, and a couple of mobsters got killed. She asks if he’s seriously saying this to her right now? Is he kidding her? He says he’s not talking about Sonny’s physical safety in Nixon Falls. He was happier there mentally, and Nina saw that. Carly says, so she should go thank Nina?

Jax says Carly wasn’t in Nixon Falls. She didn’t see Sonny’s life there. It was simpler, less complicated. He was a guy named Mike. He worked behind the bar, and took care of… She tells him, stop. He saw what he wanted to see. He’s hated Sonny for 25 years. He’s hated how powerful Sonny is, how arrogant he is. She’s sure nothing made him happier than seeing Sonny humbled, tending bar somewhere. (Good Lord, here she goes again, looking down on normal people.) He asks if she honestly believes that his only issues with Sonny are about his ego. She knows how much he hates that Sonny’s business puts Josslyn at risk, and his return might make her life even more dangerous. Carly says, it will make Josslyn’s life safer, because there won’t be any question about who’s in charge of the business. He says, if it makes her feel better, he gave Nina an ultimatum, that if she didn’t tell Sonny who he was, he was going to do it. She says, he trusted the person who’s been lying for nine months to step up and tell the truth, and he says, Sonny’s home, isn’t he? She says, because he was trapped in a fire, and almost died. He remembered everything on his own. No thanks to Jax, and no thanks to Nina. He says, believe what she wants. It’s her life, and he doesn’t want any part of it.

Shawn asks what’s the family connection Alexis has to Creighton-Clark, and she says, her Uncle Victor ran the clinic for some time. He asks if she can get in touch with her uncle, but she says, not without holding a séance. Last she heard, he was pretty dead. He was killed when the clinic was destroyed; shot, she believes. Shawn says, another roadblock they can’t seem to get around, and she says, at the time, Victor was director of the WSB. He took over the Bureau from the inside and used it for his own ends. Her understanding is that the details are classified, but if she were Shawn, she’d contact Anna or Robert. They could probably tell him more. Ava walks in.   

The doorbell at Windymere rings, and Cameron says, if it’s Josslyn and Esme, he gives up. He opens the door, and it’s Sonny with a couple of thugs in suits (sounds like a good name for a band). Trina tells him, welcome back; it’s good to see him. Cameron seconds that, and he says it’s good to see them too. He’s sure Josslyn relied heavily on both of them while he was gone. Is Spencer’s father around? Spencer asks, who’s at the door? and smiles to see Sonny. He hugs Sonny, and Sonny asks if he gets tired of people telling him that he’s all grown up. Spencer asks if Sonny gets tired of hearing people welcome him back from the dead. He looks pretty good for a guy who has a headstone at Woodlawn. Sonny says he has nine lives, and Spencer says he’d thought Sonny used them all up. He can’t believe Sonny is there, in the flesh. When he heard Sonny passed away, he knew he had to come home. He realized life’s too short not to spend it with his family. Sonny asks if his father is there, but Spencer says, he guesses Nikolas is already on his jet, or in Bora Bora. Sonny’s guess is as good as his.

Esme says hi to Josslyn. She didn’t realize Josslyn was right behind her. Esme says it’s nice to see Doc, and he says he hopes nothing serious brought her there. She says, just visiting a friend, like she has a lot of those in Port Charles. Josslyn tells Doc that she was having her ankle checked; it’s all good. He says he’s glad, and he and Laura are very happy to hear Sonny is alive. Laura can’t wait to see him when she comes home. Josslyn thanks him, and says, Sonny can’t wait to see Laura either. He says he’s sure they’ll be in touch. He starts to leave, but Esme asks him if he has as second. She and Spencer are auditing classes at PCU, and she’s in a Cognitive Psych class. She’d love to pick his brain. He says, since Cognitive Psychology directs us within, she could pick her own brain, and let him know what she finds. She says, deal, and he leaves. She turns to Josslyn, and asks why it looked like Josslyn was sneaking up on her. Josslyn asks what she was talking to Sonny about.  

Jason says, Monica doesn’t need to worry about him, and Ned says, maybe Jason believed that once upon a time, but he’s a father now. If Jake or Danny came to him, and said they were going to do something incredibly dangerous, he wouldn’t need to worry? Would he worry any less? Jason says, no, and Ned says, in fact, Jason might worry more if he knew that child had no fear for their own safety. That they would run, not walk, to put their life on the line so Sonny Corinthos could turn a profit. Jason says he works for Sonny because he wants to. Sonny is his friend, the work suits him, he’s good at it; it’s his choice. Ned says, given the amount of times Jason has been arrested or injured, Jason can see how that choice would be tough on a mother. Jason says he does, and Ned says, and the rest of the family for that matter.

Jax tells Carly, he might not be responsible for Sonny’s return, but he played a part in it. One he may live to regret, so she’s welcome. She says, he’s expecting a thank you? Go to hell. She knows what the hell is going on here. Jax is protecting Nina because he cares about her, and wants her back. Even though she’s been lying for the past nine months. Keep sticking up for her. He says, the irony in all of this is, when he told Nina that she had to come clean, and had to tell Sonny who he was, she accused him of sticking up for Carly. He can’t win with either one of them. She says, poor Jax. It’s a shame he can’t get Nina back. He says, that’s never going to happen. She’s moved on.

Ava asks if she’s interrupting a game. Who’s playing? Alexis says, she was going to win anyway, so they don’t even bother playing. She heard Ava was encamping in London, and Ava says, Nikolas told her. Alexis says, he’s heartbroken about the divorce, and she’s assuming he’s not the only one. Ava says, he’s not, but she doesn’t have a choice. She has to keep her daughter safe. Alexis points to Ryan, and says she’s been doing her best to keep an eye on this psycho, but from what she can tell, he doesn’t seem to be faking his locked-in condition. Ava thanks her, and says, the sad fact is, she’s no closer now to knowing who the stalker is, than she was on Valentine’s Day when she got that first creepy gift. Alexis asks if Ava’s made all her arrangements, and Ava says, the gallery is taken care of, Kristina agreed to manage Charlie’s, she’s said all her goodbyes… All but one. She glares at Ryan.

Esme says she was talking to Josslyn’s stepfather about a family matter, and Josslyn says, she’s not family. Esme says, Spence is, and Josslyn says, and that concerns Esme how? Esme says, Mr. Corinthos has relationships with other people in Port Charles. It’s not really a good look for Josslyn, acting territorial about her stepfather. She’s at a loss here. She’s only ever wanted to be Josslyn’s friend. The way Josslyn and Trina have been treating her has really hurt her feelings. Why don’t they like her? Josslyn tell her, cut the crap, Es. Her innocent act may work with Spencer, but Josslyn is on to her. Oh, and if whatever she’s planning involves Josslyn’s family, Esme’s feelings will be the least of her problems.

Spencer leads Sonny into the drawing room, and says he’ll try to call his father again. Maybe he’ll pick up this time. Sonny says he can’t believe Trina and Cameron are in college, and he missed their graduation. Did they have fun? Cameron says, they did… mostly. There was actually some unexpected drama at Trina’s party. Sonny asks, what kind of drama? when Nikolas walks in. He says, Sonny, and Spencer says he’s been calling. Nikolas says his phone was on silent. Is everything okay? Sonny says he’s glad he caught Nikolas before he left. If the kids will excuse them, they have a lot of catching up to do.

Ned says, they may not spend a lot of time together, but they all care what happens to Jason. Jason says he can’t promise to change the way he does business, but he’s not a pissed off 20 year old anymore. He does take into consideration that he has people who care about him, and want him to be safe, and he does everything he can to stay that way. Ned says, that’s all they can ask, and Jason says he’ll stop by the hospital, and tell Monica what’s going on. Ned says, that’s a great idea. He’s sure Monica will want to see him. Jason thanks him for speaking up, and Ned says, it’s kind of his job, to speak for the Quartermaines. Like it or not, Jason is still one of them. Jason says he knows, and leaves. Ned sighs, probably catching that from Jason.

Esme says, between her classes, volleyball, and cute boyfriend, she’s surprised Josslyn has the time to be worried about her. But since she seems a tad obsessed, she’ll give Josslyn some advice. Minding her own business is great; minding Esme’s will cost her. She walks away, and Josslyn says, poor Spencer. He’s got no idea who Esme is. Apparently Esme has no idea who Sonny is either.  

Ava goes to Ryan, and bends down so her face is level with his. She says she has no idea how he managed it, but she knows he’s got something to do with whoever is stalking her. And he’s won, for now. She’s leaving town, but she’s making it her mission to discover the truth. And when she does, he’ll rue the day she returns to Port Charles. Shawn tells Alexis, he can only imagine the brimstone and hellfire Ava is pouring into Ryan’s ear. Alexis says, he deserves it, and Shawn says, no argument here. She says, let’s get back to Creighton-Clark. If there’s a link between Naomi’s murder and Drew’s disappearance, then Sam’s investigation just got a lot more dangerous. He says he sees where it might concern Alexis, and she says, this somehow leads back to the Cassadines. It always does. They need to figure out how, before even more people get killed.

Jax asks, what exactly did Nina tell Carly about her life in Nixon Falls? Carly says, that she knew Sonny was alive and well the whole time, and she kept it a secret from her and his family. Why? What else does Nina know? What else is she holding back?

Spencer walks outside with Trina and Cameron, and Trina wonders if it’s her, or did the room temperature drop when Sonny saw Nikolas. Cameron says he knows what she means, but Spencer says, it’s just her. Trina’s phone dings, and she looks at it, concerned. Spencer asks, what’s going on?  

Nikolas asks what Sonny means about catching him before he left. He’s not going anywhere. Sonny’s thugs stand on either side of Nikolas, and Sonny says, no, he’s not. Not if he has anything to say about it.

Tomorrow, Maxie asks why Nina thinks Sonny hasn’t mentioned it, Ava tells someone to consider themselves warned, and Sonny says he’s not leaving until he and Nikolas have an understanding.

👯‍♂️ Still BFFs…

I had no clue anyone was concerned. I know I wasn’t.
