What I Watched Today
(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)
General Hospital
Trina sits with Ava at the pool, and Ava asks if they think Curtis’s condition is permanent. Trina tells her, the doctor said the bullet nicked his spine, but he also said all spine injuries aren’t the same, so they’re hoping he regains the use of his legs. Ava says, Trina knows she’d do anything for her, so if she ever needs anything… What are her plans until school starts up again? Trina says she’s not really sure, and Ava asks if The Chuck offered her a part time position after her internship. Trina says, they did, but she turned it down, and Ava asks, why? Trina says she was hoping she could go back to Ava’s gallery, and Ava says her gallery isn’t as prestigious as The Chuck, but she’d be happy to have Trina back. Trina says she just feels more comfortable with Ava, and she can make her own hours, which is important now that so much is going on in her personal life. Spencer calls to Trina from the pool where he has Ace, and asks if she wants to join them.
At her desk, Portia looks at her and Curtis’s wedding photo, and flashes back to seeing him in physical therapy. There’s a knock at the door, and Marshall comes in. He asks how she’s doing, and she says, trying to hang in there. He says, they all are. He hates to bother her with this, but they have a problem. It’s The Savoy.
Curtis tries to lift himself up, but is unsuccessful. Selina lurks around the doorway, and Roy says, he can do this, but Curtis says he can’t. He could do it yesterday. Roy says, Curtis is the type of guy who doesn’t give up. He has a competitive spirit and doesn’t like to lose, so come on. Curtis says, Roy doesn’t know what he’s capable of, but Roy says he’s pretty good at reading people, and he has Curtis’s number. Curtis asks what it says, and Roy says, Curtis isn’t going to let a spinal injury get him down. No way. Let’s go. Just focus and relax. Selina continues to watch without letting her presence be known.
Austin sees Michael and Willow at the hospital, and says, look at Willow, all out and about. She looks well. She thanks him, and says she’s surprised people recognize her standing; she was in that hospital bed for so long. She’s got her color back and she’s feeling better. Michael says, they’re just glad to be here for her check-up and not a treatment, and Austin asks how many weeks it’s been since the transplant. Willow says, twelve weeks, although it feels like a lifetime ago. She’s finally getting her life back. Michael notices Dex hanging around.
Sam meets Cody at the Bistro, and says she got his message; what’s up? He says he needs her help, and she says, no surprise there. What happened this time? Please don’t tell her that he’s in trouble with the PCPD again. He says, no, it’s not him. It’s Sasha. She’s in danger, and it’s time they do something drastic.
Gladys goes into the station and says she has to speak with Detective Falconari. It’s a matter of life and death. Dante comes out, and she says she needs his help. It’s an emergency. He asks why she didn’t just call 9-1-1 and save herself a trip? but she says, 9-1-1 can’t issue a restraining order and she needs one now. He asks who she needs to get a restraining order against, and she says, his pal, Cody Bell. She needs to keep him away from Sasha.
Sasha stares into space, and Mandy says, it’s very important that Sasha tell her what she’s been taking. Sasha says she’s not taking anything, but Mandy says she’s looked at Sasha’s chart, and none of the medications she’s on should cause this. Sasha says she doesn’t know. It’s something they’re giving her. Mandy says, who’s giving it to her? when Dr. Montague comes in and asks if there’s a problem here. Mandy says she’s not sure. Sasha’s completely incoherent and it doesn’t square with her prescribed medications. He motions her into the hallway, and says, patients can often have unexplained reactions to mild sedatives. Mandy says she thinks Sasha is getting unprescribed medications from somewhere, so she’s running a blood test just to be sure.
Ava tells Trina, Spencer is so good with his little brother, isn’t he? That’s so nice to see. Trina says, Spencer is devoted to Ace. Ava should see them at home. Spencer changes him, he feeds him, he even sings him a lullaby. Ace was being so fussy one day when she was there, and Spencer calmed him down with a lullaby. It was the sweetest thing. Ava says, and that’s not a problem for her? and Trina asks, why would it be? Ava says, if Spencer’s spending so much time with Ace, then he’s also spending time with Esme. That must be a little uncomfortable for her. Nina comes over to their table, and says, Curtis told her that they’re moving him to rehab. That’s great news. He’s strong. He’s going to get through this. Trina thanks her, and says, if they’ll excuse her, there’s a cute baby in the water and his equally cute brother. She leaves, and Nina sits down. She says, Ava told her they were meeting to celebrate. What are they celebrating? Ava says, the end of her nightmare.
Willow tells Austin, she’s been given a second chance at life. She’s so grateful to everyone at GH, but especially to her husband. Michael’s support has been incredible. Michael tells her not to give him too much credit. She’s the strong one in this relationship. Willow tells Austin not to listen to him. He’ll never admit how much he’s done for her. Thinking about their children was another inspiration. Austin says, they can agree it was a group effort. He’s not an oncologist, but the transplant seems to have been a success because clearly, she’s on the road to recovery. He won’t keep them. Willow thanks him, and he moves on. Willow tells Michael that she can’t believe how light she feels, like a huge weight’s been lifted off her shoulders. She used to dread stepping into this building. Each week brought more bad news or another setback, but now she’s not nervous going for her check-up. She knows she’s going to hear something positive for a change. He says he loves seeing her this happy. He knows it sounds cliché, but he doesn’t take anything for granted anymore. Every morning he wakes up with her or sees her playing with the kids or hearing her laugh is a gift. He’s the luckiest guy in the world.
Portia asks if something happened at the club, and Marshall says he just got a call from N’neka. She’s trying to cover things, but it’s way too much for one person to do, and she doesn’t have the experience running the day to day business. Portia asks if there’s anyone else who can do it, but he says, no one who knows how to do everything. Liquor needs to be ordered, books balanced, checks cut; N’neka’s completely overwhelmed. And it’s not like they can just hire any manager. Curtis did more than just paperwork. He was the heart and soul of the place; he was a presence. He not only welcomed the customers; some of them came just because he was there. She says, he’s right. Curtis didn’t just run The Savoy; he was The Savoy. Marshall says, exactly. Anyone can run a club, but nobody can replace Curtis. He worked so hard to make his dream a reality. And that’s why the two of them need to keep it alive. Geez, they’re acting like Curtis is dead.
Curtis does bicep curls as Selina watches. Roy comes in, and she ducks back. Roy tells him, that’s enough for now, and to put down the weights, but Curtis says, no. Roy is the one who said he could do this. He’s not stopping. Damn. He lost his count. Roy says, stop. Please. Work himself too hard, he could do some real damage. Curtis insists he’s got ten more in him, and Roy says he doesn’t doubt it, but suggests they take a break. They’ll move on to the resistance bands. Sound good? Curtis says, yeah, and Roy leaves. Selina comes in, and says, Curtis’s situation is most unfortunate. He has her deepest sympathy. She puts her hand on his shoulder.
Montague says he appreciates Mandy being so conscientious, but from now on he needs her to check with him before she orders any tests on this patient. Is he clear? She says, yes, she’s sorry, but he says, no need for apologies. She was just doing her job. Sasha is extremely fragile, so he needs to be consulted on everything about her case, even her medication. The poor thing suffered a psychotic episode the other day. The man she stabbed got into her room. She thought he wanted revenge, and had a complete breakdown. Mandy says, that’s the problem. Her symptoms don’t seem to be linked to psychosis. She seems like she’s stoned on something. He thanks her for bringing it to his attention, and she says she’ll make sure he gets the report on the bloodwork. He says, that’s not necessary. He’ll follow up on the bloodwork himself. She can go now.
Cody says he finally managed to get into Ferncliff to see Sasha, and Sam says, back up. She thought Gladys banned him. He says, technically, yes, and she says, he had other ways of getting in? He says he enlisted Brook’s help. She was able to distract Nurse Ratchet at the front desk long enough for him to sneak by. When he got to Sasha’s room, he was shocked. She was totally out of it. She was curled up on the floor… Her face was covered in tears; she was shaking. She had this blank look on her face. She didn’t seem to recognize him at first, so he kneeled down and tried to take her hand, and she just freaked out. She started screaming at the top of her lungs, and she thought he was there to kill her. That’s when Brook and some orderly came in, and he made them leave. Sam says, that’s awful, but what is happening with Sasha? He says, she’s being drugged, and he needs Sam’s help to prove it.
Dante suggests Gladys tell him what happened before they get going on all the paperwork, and she says she sees how this is going to be. Cody is his friend, so he’s going to try and talk her out of this. He says, actually, it’s standard procedure. The fact that Cody’s his friend has nothing to do with it. Why doesn’t she take a seat? They sit down at Dante’s desk, and he asks her to tell him what happened. She says, Cody took advantage of an extremely vulnerable woman. He snuck into Ferncliff and upset Sasha. She’s been in a severely traumatized state, and his visit made it worse. Mac comes out and asks, what’s going on? Dante says, Gladys would like to file a restraining order against Cody Bell, and Gladys says, he terrorized her daughter-in-law. He didn’t have permission to visit her, but he slipped past the front desk and got into her room. So she thought he was there to pay her back for stabbing him, and entered into another breakdown. As Sasha’s guardian and her mother-in-law, Gladys needs to protect her, and she wants that restraining order. Mac says, Officer Robinson will fill out the paperwork, and Gladys goes to the front desk. Mac asks Dante, what kind of trouble is Cody causing now?
Dante tells Mac, obviously, Cody’s in some kind of trouble, but he wants to hear Cody’s side of the story first. You’ve got to take whatever Gladys says with a grain of salt. Mac says he knows, but if Cody was restricted from seeing Sasha, he’s already in violation, and Dante says, it’s not like he was trying to do harm to Sasha; he cares about her. Mac says, Dante’s right, and he can’t throw stones because he did the same thing. Dante says, Mac will have to tell him that story, and Mac says he doesn’t know if Cody’s aware of this, but decades ago, his mother Dominique was committed. Leopold Taub, Cody’s father, was a, evil son of a bitch who had her committed. Taub didn’t want Mac anywhere near Dominique, so he had to break into the place to see her. So he gets where Cody is coming from. They both share the same impulse to rescue the women they care about. Dante flashes back to finding out Mac is really Cody’s father.
Sam asks if Cody is sure Sasha is being drugged, and Cody asks, what other explanation could there be? Go see for herself. Something is going on. She asks if he thinks Gladys has something to do with it, and he says, yes. Let’s go over the facts again. Gladys is Sasha’s guardian, right? Gladys is also flat broke. Sasha was thinking of ending the guardianship. He thinks that put Gladys into a panic. Sam says, because her meal ticket’s gone, and he says, exactly. And the timing is so suspicious. Sasha was doing and feeling great. That nasty lady at Home & Heart tried to rattle her. Sasha held it together, then all of a sudden, she started to spiral. Sam says, they’re going to need something more than his suspicions to go on, and Cody says, maybe she doesn’t buy his theory. So he’ll just take care of it… She says, no. She believes him and wants to help him, but there’s no proof. He needs proof. He gets up, and she asks where he’s going. He tells her, she said they need proof. He’s going to go find it.
Montague tells Sasha that he’s here to help her, and she says she doesn’t know what’s going on. Why does she feel this way? He says, because she’s still using. She’s still taking illegal drugs. They’re not sure how she’s getting them in, but they’re going to find out. She says, no, that’s not it. They’re giving her something. He says, just admit it. She still has a problem. He’s going to get her some help. There’s a knock at the door, and Janice says, the doctor wanted to see her? He says, yes. They have a problem.
Dex asks what Michael wanted to talk to him about, and Michael says he has a few questions. Dex says, make it quick; he has somewhere he needs to be. Michael says, somewhere or someone? He’s clearly following Austin. (Someone he needs to be? That makes no sense. Although I have to agree with Michael that Dex is less than stealthy.) Dex says, it’s a job for Sonny, and Michael asks why his father has Dex following the doctor.
Curtis asks what the hell Selina is doing here, and she says she heard what happened to him. He says, everybody heard about it. The shooting was all over the news. She says, the news said he was shot, so naturally, she was concerned about him, and he says, since when? She says she cares about his welfare. She tried to visit him at the hospital, but they said he wasn’t accepting visitors, and he says, if he didn’t want his family as visitors, what made her think he wanted to see her? She says she’s sensing some hostility, and he says, she’d be right, so why doesn’t she leave? She says, it’s at times like this we need our friends, and he tells her, who says they’re friends?
Nina says, Ava is going to have to give her some more information. What nightmare is she referring to? Ava says she’s just had a lot of stress lately, and now things have shifted, and it’s a huge weight off her shoulders, that’s all. Nina says, weight. She’s going to have to elaborate. What’s going on? Ava says she doesn’t even want to talk about it. She just wants to put it behind her. Nina says, don’t do this. If she was to guess, she’d guess it was something she walked in on yesterday in Sonny’s office. They seemed very tense, like there was a lot of things unsaid. Ava says, Nina knows Sonny as well as she does. He’s not that big on communication. Nina says, but usually Ava is. Come on. What is the deal? She feels like Ava and Sonny are shutting her out. Ava tells her, let’s just say, it’s nothing for Nina to worry about, and soon, it will be the same for her. She raises her martini glass.
Betty dashes into Austin’s office, and doesn’t see him. I love how they think he never leaves his office, like he doesn’t have a real job. She says, hello? and he comes out of (I assume) the bathroom. He says, if it isn’t Mrs. Baylock, and she says, who? He asks if she hasn’t seen The Omen, and she says she doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about and she doesn’t care. Because she got this. She shows him the flashdrive, and he says, his turn now. He doesn’t know what the hell she’s talking about. She says, this, and he says, what is this? She says, the jackpot.
Selina says, of course (🍷) she and Curtis are friends. She would do anything to help him. He says he already has enough friends, and he doesn’t need anything from her. She says, it’s a shame to hear him say that, and he asks why she just doesn’t cut the crap and tell him why she came here. Because he’s not buying the goodwill tour. She says, he offends her; always so suspicious. If he won’t accept her as a friend, she hopes he continues to deal with her as a business partner, because she has an offer for him. He asks what that would be, and she says, with him being out of commission, he won’t be able to run the club. She’d like to take The Savoy off his hands, and she’s prepared to make him a generous offer. Marshall walks in and says, over my dead body.
Esme sees Spencer and Trina sitting on chaise lounges, playing with Ace. They try to get him to wear a tiny bucket hat, but he’s not having it, and Trina says she used to have one of these as a baby. Her mom even took a picture of her with it on at the beach. Spencer says he bets she was adorable as a baby, and she shrugs. He asks, what’s wrong? and she says, thinking about the photo made her think of her mom and what she’s going through. Things were just getting back on track for her and Curtis when he was shot. And now she has to see him in a wheelchair. She’s just so worried for her. Spencer says, of course (🍷) he wishes he could spend the whole day with her, but he thinks she’d feel better if she checked on her mom. Esme watches.
Cody goes into the station and finds Dante, who asks, what’s going on? Cody says, Dante has to start doing his job. Isn’t he supposed to serve and protect? Well, there’s a woman – a vulnerable, innocent woman – out there… Gladys storms out and says she has something for Cody. Obviously irritated, he says, what is it? She says, here, and slaps the restraining order on his chest.
Willow runs up to Michael, hugging him from behind, and he says, it looks like someone got good news. She says she did. She got the green light to go out in public again. Michael says, that’s huge. Are there any restrictions? She tells him, Dr. Randolph said it could take up to a year for her immune system to fully recover, but it’s already been three months and she’s happy with Willow’s blood cell count. He asks if there are any limitations about what she can do or where she can go, and she says, Dr. Randolph advised against travel for a while, so Paris will have to wait, and she doesn’t think she’ll be going to concerts any time soon, but the doctor encouraged her to go for walks. The doctor said it’s a great way for Willow to build up her strength, and he knows how much Wiley likes to explore down at the boathouse, and she finally has enough energy to push Amelia in her stroller. It’s just a win for the entire family. He says, she’s not planning on going back to work yet, but she tells him, don’t worry; she won’t push it. Even though she got the all clear, she’s not even thinking about going back to work until she’s in 100% remission. But she’s not complaining. Right now she’s just thrilled to be out of house jail, although the warden’s pretty cute. He says, and he can provide special privileges. He’s so happy she got a good report. She says, and she got to see Clara. She was the nurse assigned to Willow during isolation. She was so comforting. Clara has three kids, so she understood how hard it was for Willow to be away from Wiley and Amelia. He says, sounds like she was just what Willow needed, and she says she doesn’t want this great feeling to stop. How about if they go celebrate? He takes her hand, and they leave the hospital.
Portia says, Dex? and he says, hi, Dr. Robinson. She tells him to call her Portia, and asks, what brings him to GH? She hopes everything is okay. He says, all good. He’s just here for his yearly check-up. She says, it’s good he’s taking care of his health. Just let her know if he needs anything. He says, of course (🍷). Will do. Thank you, Dr. Robin… Portia. She continues down the hall.
Trina tells Spencer that she knows her mom is trying to be strong for Curtis, but she sees it’s taking a toll on her, and thinks she’s struggling right now. Esme continues to listen, and she’s been leaning on the doorway so long, I’m surprised they haven’t noticed. Spencer asks if Portia has been able to spend much time with Curtis, and Trina says, she was able to see him at rehab, but she guesses it didn’t go well. This is really tearing her up inside. He says, it can’t be easy on Trina either, and Trina says, no, but she doesn’t want to burden her mom with her feelings. She’s already going through enough. He says he thinks the best thing Trina can do right now is be there for her mom. Even if they’re not talking, just hold her hand, that sort of thing. She says, he gives really good advice for a boy, and he says he does. She says, his girlfriend’s really lucky, and he says he knows. They have a quick kiss over Ace’s head, and Trina leaves.
Selina says, how lovely to see Marshall, but he says he’s not sure he can say the same. Curtis says he can handle this, but Marshall says, Curtis needs to focus on getting better. He’s going to set Miss Wu straight on a few things. Selina says she came here out of kindness. She thought her offer would take the burden off of Curtis. Marshall says, The Savoy’s not for sale, so they respectfully decline her offer, and she says, Curtis has a long road ahead of him. Curtis says, his legs might not work, but his mind is perfectly fine and he’s more than capable of running his club. Marshall says, and until he’s ready to come back, the family’s going to take care of everything. Selina says she thinks they’ll find the day to day operations very challenging. She came here making an offer in good faith, but it’s clear Curtis doesn’t want her help. Running a nightclub isn’t for the faint of heart, so they’d be wise to keep her proposal in mind. She leaves, and Marshall and Curtis look at each other.
Janice asks, what’s the problem? and Montague says, this patient has been taking illegal substances. Someone has been smuggling drugs into this facility, and with Miss Gilmore’s money, he’s sure she found someone on staff who she could bribe to supply her. Can she tell him who’s been assigned to her case? She says, Mandy Green, and he says, they’ll replace Miss Green. She says, Mandy’s one of the best nurse practitioners here. She can’t imagine Mandy doing something like that. He says he’s in no way accusing her, but if she’s taken off the case, it removes her from suspicion. It’s really for Miss Green’s protection. He’s only a visiting psychiatrist, but this is a very prominent patient, so they need a team they can trust. Miss Gilmore’s welfare is very important to him. He takes out his phone and makes a call.
Wow. This guy’s story has more holes than Swiss cheese. Not only does Sasha not have access to her money, Mandy requested the blood tests for outside drugs. This is a tremendous lawsuit waiting to happen.
Cody asks, what the hell is this? and Gladys says, it’s a restraining order, cowboy. Read it. He’s not allowed within 500 feet of Sasha. He asks if she’s out of her mind. She’s the one who belongs in Ferncliff. She says, he won’t be able to terrorize Sasha anymore because he can’t go anywhere near her, and if he tries, there’s a bunk waiting for him… He says, if anyone’s been terrorizing her, it’s Gladys. Gladys got her locked away in the looney bin and threw away the key. And he knows why. As long as Sasha stays committed, she can’t cut Gladys off. Gladys stays her guardian, which is what she’s wanted the whole time, isn’t it? Gladys says, he’s crazy. Don’t listen to him. Cody says, she doesn’t care about Sasha. All she cares about is Sasha’s money. Sasha is trapped and helpless, and she couldn’t care less. Maybe it’s time she felt trapped and helpless. He lunges toward her, but Dante and Robinson hold him back.
Portia looks at her computer and writes down some figures. She calculates how much it will cost to revamp the house for Curtis. Trina comes in and says she thought Portia could use some company, along with some caffeine. Portia takes a coffee from her and thanks her. Trina looks at the screen and says, that’s a lot to take in. She had no idea it was that expensive. Portia says, it will be an adjustment for all of them. She just wants to make sure Curtis is as comfortable as possible. Trina says, she will, and Portia says she’s glad Trina stopped by. It was just what she needed. Trina says she can’t take all the credit. She was at the pool with Spencer and Ace, and Spencer knew she was worried about Portia, so he suggested she come check on her. But the latte was her idea.
Spencer asks if Ace is going to throw the ball far and show all the ladies at the pool his big muscles. Esme joins them and says, there’s her boy. They look like they’re having fun. Spencer says, they’re having lots of fun, and she says she saw his text that they were going to the pool, so she thought she’d take her chances that they’d still be here. She can’t wait for him to be in the water. She asks Ace if he wants to take a swim with mommy, and removes her robe, underneath which she wears a teeny bikini.
Dex pretends to fill out a form, and sees Mason head for Austin’s office. He follows Mason at a distance. Mason walks into the office, and Austin says, no one knocks anymore. Who invited him? Betty says she did, and Austin closes the door. Mason asks what Betty’s got for him, and she says, everything he wanted. She holds up the flashdrive and says, she got the Pikeman goods on Sonny.
Nina says she’s getting the impression that no matter how much she presses, Ava’s not going to come clean. Ava says, it’s not like she’s hiding anything from Nina, but Nina says, yes, she is. Ava says she just doesn’t want to burden Nina with information that will draw her in to something that has nothing to do with her. Nina says, if it involves Sonny, it involves her, because she’s getting married to him, and Ava says, unless the truth about the SEC comes out. Nina says, don’t try to deflect, and that was mean, and Ava says she’s sorry. Nina says, if and when Ava is willing to tell her what’s going on, she’s willing to listen, and leaves.
Cody says, you wretch, throwing down the restraining order. As Robinson drags him away, Cody says he’s going to make Gladys pay for what she did to Sasha. Believe him. She’s going to pay. Robinson pushes Cody into the interrogation room, and Mac asks if Gladys is all right. She says, no, she’s not. He could have killed her. She wants Cody arrested.
Mandy tells Janice that she just heard from Dr. Kirkwood that she’s being pulled from being Sasha Gilmore’s primary caregiver. Janice asks if she said why, but Mandy says, no. The doctor just said she needs to reassign her. She wonders if she did something wrong or if Dr. Montague is unhappy with the way she was taking care of Miss Gilmore. Janice says she wouldn’t worry about it. She knows how those visiting psychiatrists are. They come in here thinking they can run this place better than we do. Don’t take it personally.
Montague injects Sasha with something, and she falls unconscious.
Esme and Spencer play in the pool with Ace, and Spencer says, a regular Michael Phelps in the making.
Michael and Willow walk into the pool area, and Ava says, nice to see Willow. Willow says, it’s nice to be seen out in public, and Ava says, she just missed Nina. Michale says, lucky for them, and Ava says she wishes they’d give Nina another chance. Willow says she’s been making an effort lately, and Ava says, that’s good. Keep in mind that her mother loves her very much, and they’ll all be better off spreading love. Michael says, Ava seems to be in a good mood, and Ava says she is. Life is good, and it’s about to get a whole helluva lot better.
Austin closes the blind on the door, while Dex lurks outside his office. Austin says he’s out. He helped them play their little games. He helped them get Pilar out, so Mary Poppins here could spy on Sonny. He’s done everything they’ve asked him to do. Yay me. Mission accomplished. Mason asks what makes him think he can just walk away, and Austin says he’s done everything Mason has asked him to do. Why can’t Mason just leave him alone? Mason says, cuz you’re not out until the boss says you’re out. You got it?
Portia tells Trina that she thinks she’s ordered everything Curtis should need, and she’s called the company to come out and make the modifications to the house. So she thinks she’s good. Trina says, there’s a lot more to this than just installing ramps. How’s Curtis going to face life in a wheelchair, and how is Portia going to watch him go through it? Portia says, it’s not about her right now. It’s about Curtis and making the house comfortable for him. And this isn’t going to be easy for him at all, but she needs Curtis home.
Curtis thanks Marshall and says he appreciates him, but he doesn’t need Marshall fighting his battles. He’s been dealing with Miss Wu for a long time, and it’s nothing he can’t handle. Marshall says he wasn’t trying to speak for Curtis, but he was afraid Curtis would consider her offer. Curtis says, why? Because he’s in a wheelchair? He doesn’t plan on being here for the rest of his life, but even if he were, he’s more than capable of running his own club. Marhsall pulls up a stool and sits, saying, he knows Curtis is. He’s sorry if he overstepped, but he also knows how much Curtis loves that place. He has every intention of keeping that place going until Curtis is ready to come back. Curtis says, Marshall doesn’t know anything about the business, but Marshall says he plans on learning from the best. That is if Curtis doesn’t mind teaching his old man a few tricks of the trade. Curtis says, it’s complicated, and Marshall says he knows it’s not going to be easy, but this is one small way he can show his gratitude for all Curtis has done for him. Curtis gave him a family. Please, let him do this. Roy comes in with the resistance bands, and asks if Curtis is ready for round two. Marhsall says he’ll get out of their way. He’ll see Curtis soon. He loves him. Curtis says he loves Marshall too, and Marshall leaves.
Gladys says, Mac saw Cody attack her. If he doesn’t arrest Cody, she’ll sue the PCPD. He says, okay, they can arrest Cody. But that means they’ll have to open up an investigation. That means Cody will have to give them a statement, and he’ll write down all his allegations against Gladys. Then it’s their duty to follow up on those claims, and if any of those accusations turn out to be true, that could mean a lot of trouble for her. Is that really what she wants? She says, he wins. She picks up the restraining order and hands it to him, saying, she expects it to be reinforced. She walks out, and Mac goes into the interrogation room. He tells Cody that he’s lucky. He convinced Gladys not to press charges, but Cody is inches away from a jail cell. Dante asks, what the hell is going on with Cody?
Montague comes out of Sasha’s room, and tells Janice that he appreciates her help regarding Miss Gilmore’s care. They don’t want to risk a lawsuit.😐He leaves, and Janice goes into Sasha’s room. Sam peeks out from around the corner, and in the room, Janice takes Sasha’s pulse. Sasha wakes up and scootches away, saying, no, no, no. Stay away from her. Leave her alone.
