What I Watched Today
(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)
General Hospital
Carly thanks Sam for dragging her to yoga class, and Sam says, at least it wasn’t kicking and screaming. Carly says she needed to come to clear her mind, and Sam says, hopefully she’ll be able to find some serenity in here. Nina walks in with Maxie, and Carly says, so much for that.
At Charlie’s with Nikolas and Spencer, Esme says she keeps playing it over and over in her head. If Nikolas and Victor hadn’t shown up when they did, who knows what Sonny would have done to her? Spencer still can’t believe his Uncle Sonny had her kidnapped, and she says, really? Here she was betting he thought she deserved it. We see a man at one of the tables looking at the Invader article, and then at them.
Scotty says, here’s what happens today. Trina makes a plea, the ADA will recommend bail. Of course (🍷) he’ll argue against it as to why she should be free, and the judge will decide if there is bail and how much. Trina says, her plea is not guilty, and Scotty says, bingo. Portia says, sounds easy enough, and Curtis says, Trina will be out of here before she knows it,
Alicia says, well? and Alexis says, they’re trending. She knew this would do well, but the AP wire’s picked it up and it’s gone national. It’s huge. They high-five.
In the moss bowl🎍less kitchen, Josslyn asks if Cameron has seen the article, and he says, it’s hard not to. It feels like it’s everywhere. She says, that’s probably because it is. How does he feel about that?
At the MetroCourt, Willow tells Diane, they don’t want this to escalate, and Michael says, for a lot of reasons. His family has enough to deal with right now. Their focus should be on Josslyn. He’s also worried the charges could hurt them, particularly him if Nina petitions for visitation. Diane says, they can and they will.
Maxie asks if Nina wants to take a different class, but Nina says she won’t be scared off, not by Carly or anyone else. They sit, and so do Sam and Carly on the other side of the room. Carly says she hates that she sees Nina everywhere she goes. It’s like that thing at the carnival when you whack a mole and it pops up in another hole. Sam says they can leave if she wants, but Carly says, hell no. She’s staying right here. She’s not going to let that bitch run her out of here.
Spencer says, of course (🍷) he doesn’t think Esme deserved to be kidnapped, but she says, his track record of siding with other people against her lately is pretty strong. He says he likes his Uncle Sonny, but does he always condone Sonny’s actions? No. She says, he was so angry and threatening, and Nikolas says, considering Sonny believes she took that video of Josslyn and Cameron, he’s not surprised. She asks, what else has to happen for people to believe it wasn’t her? The police made an arrest. Nikolas asks if Spencer heard the latest, and Spencer says he went to see Trina. Esme says, of course (🍷) he did. So when she was being hauled off by some goon to face the wrath of his beloved uncle, Spencer was professing his undying devotion to Trina? Spencer says, that’s not what… and she says, that’s just great. She gets up, and says she hopes they’ll be very happy, but Spencer says, if Esme would let him get a word in, she’d know he told Trina that he believes her.
Molly says hi to Curtis, and he gives her a hug. He says he was wondering if she was going to be the ADA for the case, and she says she’s working under ADA Arden, but yes. She hopes this isn’t too awkward; her prosecuting Portia’s daughter. He says she’s doing her job, he gets it, and she says, she has to admit she was surprised to see Trina was the defendant. She seems like such a good person. He says, she is, so he has faith justice will prevail. He says he has to go back in, gives her a quick kiss on the cheek, and leaves.
Scotty says, there’s a possible plea deal coming. He spoke to his man in the DA’s office, but nothing’s been decided yet. Arden comes in, and Scotty says, oh damn. He asks, what’s going on? He thought Miss Lansing-Davis was prosecuting the case. Arden says she’s sure he was counting on that. Molly is second chair in this trial, but she’s prosecuting. She suggests his client take the deal she’s about to offer.
Nina asks why Molly keeps staring at Carly and Sam, and Maxie asks if she can’t feel it. You can cut the tension with a knife. She’s thankful they don’t have any of those, because the last thing they need right now are weapons. Nina asks her, please try and relax, and Maxie says, that’s the idea, but this is beyond cringy. Nina says, for who? and Maxie says, her. Nina says she’s sorry. She hadn’t thought about how difficult this was for Maxie. Maxie says, point taken. Change of topic. How’s visitation going with Wiley? She’s been so busy with the Deception IPO, she’s lost track of what’s going on. Nina says, her goal is to avoid involving the courts, and Maxie says, so Michael and Willow are letting her visit with Wiley? Nina says, not quite, but she may have found someone who can change that.
Harmony goes to Alexis’s office, and says she hopes Alexis doesn’t mind that she just dropped by. Things felt a little unsettled… Alexis says, yeah, when Harmony forgot to tell her that she’d already been in her house, indoctrinating her daughter. Harmony says she’s so sorry, for what she did to Kristina, and for not telling Alexis, especially after she’s been so kind to let Harmony into her home. So if Alexis wants her to leave… Alexis says she understands that Harmony’s past has been problematic, but in the present, she needs to be forthright from now on. Harmony says, okay, and Alexis says, Harmony can stay at the house until she finds something that’s right for her. Harmony says she hopes it won’t take that long, and as soon as she saves up for a deposit, she’ll be out of Alexis’s hair; she promises. She thanks Alexis, and Alexis says, it’s a good thing she’s feeling generous today. Harmony takes it the article was a success, and Alexis says, actually, it was. She thinks she might be getting her groove back in her second act. She hasn’t felt this good since before she fell off the wagon. Harmony flashes back to injecting Neil, and says she’s just happy that Alexis’s troubles are a thing of the past. Finally. Alexis asks why she has the feeling Harmony’s troubles aren’t.
Michael says he was defending his sister. Does Diane think a judge will hold that against him? She says, depends on the judge, but worrying about it at this juncture is premature. Nina has yet to even file a petition for visitation. He says he wants to be prepared in case she does, and Diane says, Nina’s legal counsel could use the assault charge to argue that Nina will provide a more stabilizing influence for Wiley, and Michael says, what? She says, considering he’s prone to punching reporters, and defense attorneys. Willow says, Scott never pressed charges for that, and Michael says, there are piles of evidence that prove Nina is anything but stable. Diane says, they could also use it to impugn his character, casting Nina in an even more sympathetic light. He says, Nina let everyone believe his father was dead. What rational person would have sympathy for her after that? Diane says, this is all moot, because she has a plan to make it all go away.
Carly takes a deep breath, and says, it’s not working. Every time she closes her eyes, she sees Josslyn’s face. Sam says she reread the article, and she’s super impressed with Joss and Cam’s bravery, and Carly says, her too. All the credit goes to Sam’s mom. That article really struck a chord with people; it’s trending everywhere. Sam asks if that’s a good thing, and Carly says, yes and no. Yes, because it’s telling Josslyn and Cam’s side of the story, but it’s also shining a bigger light on them, so when are they getting back to their normal lives? Sam asks if Carly has talked to Joss, but Carly says, Josslyn was asleep when she left for work this morning. Josslyn texted her though, and she sounds strong. Sam says, like mother, like daughter. She’s going to be okay.
Cameron asks if it’s just him, or does it feel like they’re living under a microscope? She says, it’s not just him; her phone’s been blowing up. He says, reporters asking for follow-up statement? and she says, oh yeah, and she thinks she’s decided never to leave the house again. Not until this whole thing dies down. He tells her that he could say, I told you so, and she says, but he won’t? He says, this is exactly why he didn’t want to do the interview, and she says she still thinks the good outweighs the bad. How’d that thing at school go? Did he get the issue resolved with the registrar? He says, yeah. He hates that they have to be back in public. All those people whispering and staring. She says she made herself stop reading all comments on social media. It’s insane. After all of their transparency, people still think they know their experience better than they do. It’s messed up. He says, there are a few good moments though. This girl came up to him on campus, and said she admired them. Josslyn says she did see a handful of comments saying they were respected for calling attention to the issue. Some women even said they might want to share their stories. He says, that’s really cool. He guesses he’s not huge on the extra attention they’ve been getting, but in the end, he thinks they made the right decision. She says, it’s her turn to say, I told you so, and he says, it’s still hard. She says she knows, but she thinks she should focus on the positive, and ignore most of the negative. Things will get easier. He says, he’s game, and she says, now that the article’s out, they have something to praise themselves for. They took a lot of control back. He takes her hand, and says, this will not define us for the rest of our lives. She says, they won’t let it.
Diane says, the could try offering something to Smoltz (correct spelling – my bad) in exchange for dropping the charges, and Michael says, like? She says, like him, or someone close to him, providing information for one of Smoltz’s stories. Michael says he’d be down for that, as long as the piece isn’t damaging to his family, and Diane says, of course (🍷) not. Let her brainstorm with Alexis, and they’ll see what bait they can dangle before Smoltz. She’ll be in touch. She leaves, and Michael tells Willow that he’s sorry. She says, why? and he says, for jeopardizing their ability to block Nina from Wiley. She says, he doesn’t know that, and he says, it’s a pretty good assumption. She says, even if he has, there’s zero reason to apologize. She loves that he stood up for Josslyn. That he’s protective of his family is one of the things that made her fall for him. He says, one of the things? Is she saying there’s more? She says, many, and he says he’d love to hear them. She asks if he wants a list, and he says, whatever form she chooses. She asks how much time he has, and he says, for her – he kisses her hand – forever.
Harmony tells Alexis that she’s going to see Willow and Michael, and she’s been thinking about Nina’s request. Alexis says, to convince Michael and Willow to allow visitation? and Harmony says, yeah. She decided to help Nina. Alexis says, she advised Harmony not to do that, so why is she entertaining that? Harmony says she feels bad for Nina. She’s had so much loss. If she can help Nina by being kind, shouldn’t she? Alexis says, that’s very generous; not smart, but generous. Harmony says she doesn’t want Willow to hate her, but Alexis says, she’s not going to hate Harmony. She’s not going to like it, but Willow’s not going to hate her. It’s not going to tank Harmony’s relationship with her. Harmony hopes Alexis is right, and Alexis says, Harmony needs to have some faith in her daughter. Harmony thanks her for listening, and Alexis says, anytime. Harmony says she’s happy Alexis got her life back on track. It must feel good. Alexis says, it does; it feels really good.
The man continues to look between the article, and Esme, and Esme says she’s glad Spencer stood up for her, but she can’t forget the horrible things he said. Nikolas says, it’s been a rough day. Maybe they should save this conversation for later, after everyone regroups. Esme says, it’s no use. No matter how much time Spence takes, he’s made it clear he’ll always believe the worst about her. She says she feels sick, and runs to the bathroom. Nikolas says, Spencer should try being a little gentler with her, given she might be pregnant. Spencer asks how Nikolas knows that, and Nikolas says, Victor told him. He’s worried about Spencer and Esme. Spencer says, Nikolas seems worried about Esme too, and Nikolas says he’s worried about Spencer too. Whatever’s between them, Spencer is still his son, and he wants to help him. Spencer says, Esme insisted she was innocent, swore that Trina wasn’t who she seemed. For so long he trusted Esme over everyone else. He doesn’t know why he didn’t this time. Nikolas says, that’s pretty obvious, isn’t it? He’s developed feelings for Trina.
Scotty says, let’s hear it. What’s the deal Arden has for his client? Arden says, if his client pleads guilty to the misdemeanor charge of cyber sexual harassment, they’ll drop the felony charge of unlawful surveillance, and recommend three years of probation, and a fine of $1000. This way, Trina avoids jail time. Curtis says, there’s no guarantee that the judge won’t decide to give Trina jail time anyway, and Arden says, that’s the risk you take. Trina asks what Scotty thinks, and he says he thinks the DA’s office can take this deal and shove it. Molly tells Trina, it’s a good deal. If she’s convicted of a felony, she’ll spend time in a higher security prison, not to mention she’ll lose certain civil rights. Scotty says he has to confer with his client, and Arden says, do it fast. DA Scorpio is being overly generous with his offer; it won’t be on the table for long. She and Molly walk away, and Portia says she doesn’t know about this. If Trina pleads guilty, it’s going to be on her record for the rest of her life. Let’s not forget, she’s innocent. She did not do what she’s accused of doing. That has to count for something. Curtis says, of course (🍷) it does, and Scotty asks Trina what she wants to do.
Trina says, if she takes the plea deal, she may not have to go to jail, and Portia says, may is the operative word. She doesn’t like it at all. Curtis says he doesn’t either. On the other hand, if the judge does sentence Trina to jail time, it will be a minimum security prison. Portia says, where she’ll be serving time for a crime she didn’t do, and Scotty says, unfortunately, that’s not the way it works. She could be spending a year in Pentenville. Portia says, no way, and Trina says, if she pleads not guilty, and she’s found guilty for a felony, that’s more jail time. Scotty says, it could be two to five years and/or probation, but time likely served in Pentenville. Trina asks why he said to shove the deal, and he says, that’s the way prosecutors work. They want to get a conviction. They don’t want to go to trial. It costs too much money and time, and they don’t know what the outcome is going to be. So they start tacking on all these other charges, and present a shiny deal and it looks good in comparison. He’s seen all the evidence, and it’s not airtight. He can almost guarantee the jury will come back with not guilty. Trina says, almost, and he says, that’s the rub, kid. Curtis tells Trina, let’s not think about this in terms of guarantees. Think about what she feels comfortable with, and the outcome she can live with.
Cameron says, they found the phone in Trina’s backpack, but Josslyn says she doesn’t care what they found. Trina would never do that to them, but she knows somebody who would. He says, Esme, and Josslyn says, she’s good; she’ll give her that. She framed Trina perfectly. She could literally kill Esme. He says, please don’t. He can’t bear her serving jail time. She says, can he imagine how scared Trina must be? She’s all by herself; she’s accused of something she didn’t do. The look on her face when they arrested Trina, she can’t get it out of her head. Cameron asks if Trina’s arraignment isn’t today. They should go. Josslyn asks if he’s sure. There’ll be reporters everywhere. He says, they can deal with that. Their friend is more important. She says she’ll drive.
Willow tries to hide a yawn, and Michael says, he saw that. She says, sorry. She was up late studying. He asks if she’s okay. Does she need to get checked out? They can always reschedule with her mom. She says, the only medicine she needs is what she sees, and he says, and food. She says, don’t worry; she learned her lesson. No more skipping meals for this girl. She’s taking much better care of herself. He says, good, because he doesn’t know what he’d do if anything happened to her. Don’t make him find out. She says she won’t, and they kiss. Harmony arrives, and Willow goes to hug her. She sits down, and Michael says he wanted to thank her for helping Willow out the other night. She says, of course (🍷). She’d do anything for her daughter.
Sam says she’s in fear of Scout growing up, and Carly says, it’s hard. You want to teach them to be mindful of all the dangers in the world, but at the same time, you want to encourage them to be open and fearless. Sam says, talk about walking a tightrope, and Carly says, totally. Sam says she wants Scout to be smart with her choices, but doesn’t want to scare her. Carly says, you’d think with all the progress they’ve made, they wouldn’t have to worry about that, but just ask Josslyn. It’s like society has found new ways to be cruel. Sam hopes Scout is half as tough as Joss, and she’ll be a happy mom. Carly says Sam has nothing to worry about, and she’s a great mom.
Maxie says, Nina asked Harmony to help her with Wiley? and Nina says, she’s Willow’s mother. Maxie says, and from what she understands, they’re not on the best of terms, but Nina says, that’s changing. Harmony and Willow are working on repairing their relationship. Maxie asks if Nina thinks Harmony lobbying for her seeing Wiley is the best idea. It seems risky to ask her to go against her own kid. Nina says she’s thought about all of that, but she’s running out of options. If Harmony doesn’t come through for her, her only choice will be to go the legal route. She and Carly exchange looks.
Nikolas says, this is going to complicate stuff. Has Spencer even had a chance to process what pregnancy would mean? Spencer says, it means he would be a father. They don’t know if Esme is pregnant yet. Nikolas says, what he does know is Esme is afraid. When he drove her back from Sonny’s office, she was shaking the whole time. That can’t be good for a baby. Spencer says, if there is a baby. There’s been so much hurt and distrust between them. Nikolas says, he understands that. He’s not even saying they should get back together, but he does think Spencer has to find a way to navigate this, and Spencer says he’s open to suggestions. The man looks at Alexis’s profile as editor-in-chief,
Alexis says she’s proud of Josslyn and Cameron, and Diane says, and Alexis too. Nicely done, Miss Editor-in-Chief. Alexis says, it was a labor of love, and Diane says she could tell. Alexis asks if Diane came all the way over here to tell her how great she is; she’s not complaining. Diane says, actually, she needs Alexis’s help. Does she have a minute for her bestie?
Trina wonders if she can go to the hallway, and clear her head for a minute, and Curtis asks the officer if Trina can go stretch her legs. The officer says, he’ll take her, and Portia says she’ll come, but Trina says, she loves Portia, and appreciates her being here, but… Portia says she wants to be alone, and Trina says, as alone as she can be. The officer says, it’ll be like he’s invisible, and I have thoughts of them being a couple. Trina asks if that’s okay with Portia, and Portia says, of course (🍷); whatever Trina needs. Trina goes out with the officer, and Portia asks Curtis, what is going on right now? Plea deals, prison time. The only thing Trina should be worrying about as a freshman is where she’s going for spring break, not dealing with all this. He says he knows, but everything will be fine because Trina has her, and he’s here for Portia any way she needs him. She says she loves him, and he says he loves her too. She’s got this. They hug
In the hallway, Josslyn says, Trina, and Cameron asks if she needs some extra company. Trina asks what they’re doing here, and Josslyn says, where else would they be? Trina says she thought they wanted to keep a low a profile, but Cameron says, not today, and they have a three-way hug.
Willow says, she keeps telling herself there’s no reason to worry. It’s not like Nina has filed a petition yet, but it’s hard not to. Harmony asks if she thinks Nina’s changed her mind about taking them to court; that she’s realized being at odds with them isn’t the best strategy. Michael says, if Nina feels that’s the only way to see Wiley, it’s just a matter of time, and Harmony says, it’s so awful, thinking about Wiley in the middle of all this; this family fighting over him. Willow says, they hate it too. Of course (🍷) they’ll shield him as much as possible. Harmony says, but he’s growing up. He’s picking up on everything now. Willow says, basically a human sponge, and Harmony says, who, if Nina is ordered visitation, is going to feel the resentment between the people he loves. Michael says, that’s something they’ll deal with as it comes, and Harmony says, or not maybe. What if they granted Nina informal visitation, and they could control the terms, and Wiley would be protected from all that fighting… What? Michael says, it sounds like Harmony wants Nina to see Wiley, and Willow says, does she?
The yoga instructor says, class is going to start in a few minutes. Make sure they’ve got enough water; it gets hot in here. Carly and Sam get up, and Nina says, Carly. She heard what Josslyn’s going through, and she’s sorry. It’s horrible, but the good news is, Josslyn is tough. If anyone can handle it, she can. Carly and Sam walk out, and Maxie says, it was not terrible. Nina says, maybe there’s another way. She hasn’t tried talking to Carly about Wiley again, and Maxie says, there’s a reason for that. Nina says she knows the odds aren’t great, but for Wiley’s sake, she wants to try and keep it out of the courts. What kind of grandmother would she be if she didn’t try everything? Maxie says, just be careful. Everything is still so raw for Carly. Nina doesn’t want to make things worse. Nina asks if things can get worse, and Maxie says, yeah. Sam and Carly come back, and Nina says, here she goes. Maxie says, this is a bad idea, but Nina calls to Carly, and starts to walk over. Maxie says, abort, abort, and Nina tells Carly that she’d like to talk to her about Wiley.
Trina says, if she takes the deal, it’s her best chance of not doing jail time, but Josslyn says, Trina’s not guilty. Trina says she knows. The thought of saying she did this awful thing when she didn’t is just… Not to mention, a guilty verdict will be on her record forever. Cameron says, but if it prevents her from doing jail time, the people who matter know she’s innocent. Josslyn says she gets that line of thinking, playing it safe… Cameron says, but she disagrees, and Josslyn says, yeah. She thinks Trina should fight it. She didn’t do it, and Josslyn will testify to that. Cameron says, him as well, and Trina thanks them, but she doesn’t know how that counters the evidence. Josslyn says, planted evidence, and Trina says, it’s still enough to convince some people, and if those people are on the jury... Josslyn says, they’re here for her, no matter what she decides. The officer says, time to go back in, and Cameron says, she’s got this.
The bailiff says, all rise. The Honorable Oliver Young presiding. The judge comes in and sits down.
Spencer asks how Esme is feeling, and she says he doesn’t have to act like he cares. He says he does care. He wants to make sure she’s okay. She says, her stomach is not that great. She thinks she’ll head back to her room at Kelly’s. Hopefully, this time no one will grab her and shove her in a car. Nikolas says, Sonny won’t bother her anymore, but she says he doesn’t know that. It’s not like he doesn’t have access to the rooms. His ex-mother-in-law owns the building. If Sonny wants her, he can get to her any time. Spencer asks Nikolas if it would be all right if Esme stayed at Windymere; he’ll move back in too. She says, he would do that? and Spencer says, that way, she won’t be alone, and they can figure out next steps. He asks Nikolas, would that be okay?
Diane says, it’s about Alexis’s reporter Smoltz, and Alexis says, Smoltz is not her reporter. Diane says, Smoltz does freelance for The Invader, and Alexis says, from time to time. Diane says she’s trying to entice him into dropping the charges against Michael, and Alexis says, he came running over here to report on that incident. Diane says, personally, she thinks Michael was justified, and Alexis says she’s sure he was. Diane says, except he did punch the man, and he did it right in front of the Police Commissioner. Alexis says, so Michael’s best chance is if the charges are dropped, and Diane says, exactly. So she’s thinking is there some bait they can dangle in front of Smoltz? Perhaps a juicy story where either Michael or the Quartermaines are the source. Alexis says, what she can tell Diane about their little friend is, he’s got a big, huge ego and he’s very greedy, and he hates her because she rejected his version of Josslyn and Cameron’s story, and gave it to a responsible reporter to handle properly. Diane says, for which Josslyn and Cameron, and their respective families, she’s sure will be eternally grateful. Alexis says, it’s also unlikely that she can convince Smoltz to do anything. She’s sorry. Diane says, don’t be. Alexis’s instinct to deny that bottom feeder the story was spot on. She’ll simply have to think of a different strategy. Alexis says, she always does, and they laugh.
Harmony says she was just thinking what was best for the whole family. No long drawn out court battle for them, and Wiley would get another grandmother who loves him. Willow says she’s confused. Harmony knows the pain Nina inflicted on Wiley, on Wiley’s entire extended family. Harmony says she understands, but Michael says he doesn’t think she does. Otherwise, how could she ever trust Nina again after the things she pulled with his father, the things she said to Wiley? Willow asks if Nina asked Harmony to lobby for Wiley on her behalf, and Harmony admits she did. Nina approached her and asked her. Willow says, and she agreed, and Michael says he doesn’t believe this. Willow says Nina tried to coopt her own mother, and he says, nothing’s too low for Nina; she’s proven that. Willow says, did she actually think it would work? Did Harmony? Harmony says, her loyalty is to Willow, not Nina, and Michael says, that’s kind of questionable at this point. Harmony says she’s sorry if they thinks she acted otherwise, but Nina got her thinking that what would be in the best interest for Wiley is if they could settle it amongst themselves. That’s all. Willow says she knows what this is really about.
Carly says she’s not chatting with Nina about her grandson – Nina says, their grandson – as if Nina didn’t throw a huge grenade at her life. Nina says she was hoping they could work together when necessary, like they did with Gladys when she was upset about Sasha and Brando. Carly says, that was a very special circumstance, but Nina says, it wasn’t that different than this. They found a way to co-exist due to their shared concern for Sasha. Can’t they do the same for Wiley? Carly says, no, and Nina says, they can’t put their personal problems aside for that little boy? Why not? Carly says, because Sasha’s life wasn’t turned upside down because Nina kept her grandfather from her family. So save her concern, because she didn’t have any when she lied to Sonny, or she caused a scene at his funeral, or when she told Wiley that Nelle was his real mommy. So stop. Leave her and her family alone. Nina says Carly can’t deny they share a grandson, and Carly says, like Nina denied Sonny that Sonny had a wife and children. Nina says, Wiley is the only part of her daughter left out there in the world. Carly won’t keep him from her. She’ll be in his life, and she’s sorry if Carly and Michael have a problem with that. Carly says, look at her. She’s such the victim, acting like Carly and Michael are the issue; that they did this. She did this to herself.
Judge Young says, the defendant will rise. One count of cyber sexual harassment, one count of unlawful surveillance in the second degree. How does the defendant plead?
Nikolas says, there’s certainly more security at Windymere than at his mother’s, let alone Kelly’s. Will Esme feel safe there? It will give her and Spencer a chance to figure things out, with both proximity and space should they need it. Spencer asks if that’s a yes, but Esme says she needs to make sure this is what Spencer wants. Spencer says, it was his idea. He wouldn’t have offered if he didn’t want to. Nikolas says, all eyes on him, and Spencer says, it is Nikolas’s home. Nikolas says, and he’s happy to share it. He thinks it’s best for the both of them right now. Esme says, then it’s settled. She and Spence will move in.
Carly says, Nina could have had a role in Wiley’s life, but at every turn she made choices that put her at odds with Wiley’s family. So if she wants to look for someone to blame, find a mirror. Nina says, it’s not about blame. It’s about this little boy, and nothing or no one will stop her from fighting for him. Carly asks if Nina hears herself. She’s not talking about Wiley like he’s a person with emotions and needs. She’s not even thinking about what’s best for Wiley. It’s about Nina, and her need to stay connected to her dead daughter, and she wants to use Wiley to make herself happy. She doesn’t give a damn about how it affects him; Carly does. Nina walks back to her mat, picks up her stuff, and says she’s leaving. Maxie says, okay. She knew this was going to happen. She follows Nina out, and Carly tells Sam, she hates Nina. She’s trying not to engage… Sam says, Nina is the one who engaged. Carly stood up for herself, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Carly thanks her, and Sam says, as an added bonus, she got Nina to leave. Now they can breathe and relax and enjoy themselves.
Willow tells Harmony that she gets it. She’s sure it hits close to home, and makes her think of all the time they lost. Harmony says, yes, it does. Being separated from your child, she wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Michael says, she does understand this situation is different, and Willow says she’s thought of Nina’s perspective, from pretty much every possible angle. But their first concern is what’s best for Wiley. Michael says, and Nina isn’t it. They can’t reach an agreement with her. Harmony says, understood, truly. She won’t bring it up again. She’s sorry. Willow says, don’t be. She had compassion for Nina too, once upon a time at least. Michael says, it must be genetic.
The man from Charlie’s goes to Alexis’s office. He says, it’s been a long time, and she says, it’s you.
