What I Watched Today
(rambling, random thoughts & annoyingly detailed recaps from real time TV watching)
General Hospital
Jason is working at his desk in the coffee warehouse when Sonny walks in. He asks if Jason is free, because he’d like to clear the air.
Chase finds Elizabeth at the hospital, and she asks how he is and hugs him. She says she’s so sorry about his dad, and she’s sorry he and Brook couldn’t go on their honeymoon. He says, that’s okay. There will be other opportunities to travel. He’s just glad they didn’t get on that plane. She says she didn’t know his dad for very long, but he really touched her life. And her boys were really fond of him. Cameron was sad to hear the news, but he sends his best. Chase says, he was fond of Elizabeth’s family, and he loved her, and she says, the feeling was mutual. If there’s anything she can do or any support she can offer, will he please just tell her? He says, in that case, his dad named him executor. Does she know who he can talk to about getting a couple of copies of his death certificate? He needs them for insurance, Social Security, and a couple other things. There’s so much red tape. She says, maybe the funeral home can get him a copy, and he says, right. He’s so scattered. He’s sorry to bother her. She says, actually, the hospital’s record department should have it. Wait here. Let’s figure this out. She gets on the phone.
We see a computer screen with The Invader headline, Mayor Makes Move To Free Hook Killer, and Laura tells Jordan, it’s just absurd. They’re acting like she’s leading the charge to have Heather’s conviction overturned and have her walk out of prison a free woman. All she has done is request copies of her records. Jordan says, they could have a problem here, and Laura says, and it was well within her purview to do it too. Not as the mayor, but as a citizen, because for better or worse, Heather gave her power of attorney. They’ve got to find out who got their hands on this information and leaked it to the press.
Curtis shows Portia his tablet and says he thought he should be the one to show her this. He’s glad she hasn’t seen it yet. She says, wait a minute, taking the tablet from him. She’s really going through with this. No. How could Laura even think of letting Heather Webber walk free after everything she’s done? He says the thought Jordan was overreacting when she spoke to Aunt Stella and Trina about revisiting Heather’s case. He’s just as shocked as she is to hear they’re moving forward. There’s got to be more to this story because the Laura he knows would never do this.
John flashes his badge to the guard, says, FBI, and walks into Jack’s room. He says, all right, Brennan, let’s go. Where’s his jumpsuit? Jack says, dry cleaners? and John says, let’s hope we can find you another one. What he’s got on is going to be a little drafty where he’s going. Jack says, and that is? and John says, back behind bars where he belongs. He’s a dangerous prisoner and a flight risk. And the sooner he’s back in Pentenville, the safer they’ll all be.
Molly sees Carly in the MetroCourt lobby and asks if she has a second to talk in private. Carly says she’s so busy right now. She’s so sorry. Molly says, please. It’s about what happened at Brook and Chase’s wedding reception. She needs to know what happened with Kristina.
Elizabeth says the records department will have Chase’s copies in twenty minutes, and Chase thanks her. He says, this helps a lot. He was dreading having to track this down. It’s one thing he can check off his list. If he’s being honest, it’s a pretty long list. She says, he’s got a lot going on, and he says, seems that way. Although maybe it’s because the reality of his dad’s death keeps hitting him in the face about every 30 seconds. It’s like he’s moving underwater. Everything is slower, because he’s slower. She says, it’s good he recognizes that. If he can stand a little advice, just accept that what he’s going through is a lot, and don’t be afraid to ask for help. He says he just did, and she came through. Can he talk to her about something else? She says, sure, and they sit on a bench. He says, it’s about Finn. Was he drinking when she showed up? She says, he was, and Chase says, in retrospect, he may have handled that all wrong. Finn wanted some time with Violet, so instead of going straight from the airport to Finn’s place, they went back to the Quartermaine’s first. He didn’t want Finn to be alone and he thought Violet could use some support, so he called her. Obviously, it blindsided Finn when she walked in. She says, he’d already been drinking by the time she got there. Yes, she surprised him, but his reaction was his own. It had nothing to do with the timing and it certainly wasn’t Chase’s fault for calling her. He says, Finn realizes he was out of line, and it proves it shook him up. Not just that he drank, but the way it made him feel acting the way he did toward her. But he’s doing all the right things. He’s going to the meetings. He’s doing the work. She says, Finn told her, and he says, Finn is going to be okay. He’s not going to keep turning to alcohol.
Carly tells Molly that she wasn’t at Brook and Chase’s wedding or their wedding reception. She was at home with her feet up, so she doesn’t really know what she can tell Molly. Molly says, she doesn’t know Sonny attacked Dex? Look, this isn’t an official inquiry. She isn’t here as the ADA. And Carly isn’t the first person she’s spoken to. She talked to Anna, off the record. Carly says she doesn’t know what else she can tell Molly, and Molly says, Carly is family. She was Kristina’s stepmother for years and her aunt by marriage, which shows her how convoluted their family ties are. But what she means is, Carly has known her for her whole life, and she’s asking Carly for help. Carly says she really doesn’t know what she can tell Molly, since she wasn’t there, and Molly says, but Jason was. Jason tells her everything, right? Kritina witnessed the altercation and had a physical response, and that could impact the baby Kristina is carrying for her and TJ. She would ask Kristina herself, but she can’t risk upsetting her right now; she’s too fragile. But she thinks she has a right as the mother of the baby Kristina is carrying to know what happened. Carly says, as long as Molly understands what she says stays between them. If Molly turns this into a statement for the DA, she’ll have no recollection of this conversation whatsoever. Molly says, understood.
Curtis says he still can’t imagine Laura taking this on, but Portia says she can. She is testing the waters on this, and this article is proof of that. This is another step on the road where Heather Webber gets released. He says, they’re not going to let that happen, and she tells him, that’s what she’s been trying to say, but realistically, what can they do? If Laura finds a lawyer who’s willing to take Heather’s case and a judge to reopen it, how are they going to fight the whole justice system? A nurse comes up to Portia and says she needs Portia to sign this patient’s outtake form, and Portia asks Curtis to give her a second, but he says he’s got to go. They’ll talk tonight. He leaves, and Portia looks at the form. She says, this isn’t right. Who ordered this?
Jack says, since when does the FBI supervise prisoner transfers? and John says, only when the prisoner was head of the WSB and arrested for violations of the National Security Act. And he hasn’t overlooked Jack’s involvement with Pikeman or how he funneled money between Pikeman and the Bureau. Jack is no garden variety criminal. He’s a trained intelligence agent. He’s dangerous by definition. He should be insulted if John didn’t show up to take him back to the pen. Jack says, it’s not unusual for the Feds to feel inferior to the WSB. Don’t play into it. Portia knocks at the door, and John tells her to say goodbye to her patient. He’s leaving immediately. Portia says she hates to disappoint John, but this patient isn’t going anywhere.
Jason says, it’s been a while since Sonny stopped by, and Sonny says he’s not going to stay long. He just wanted Jason to know that he reached an agreement with Dex. He’s done with Dex. He’s free to do whatever he wants to do. Dex wants to be a cop; it doesn’t matter to him. He’s not going to get in Dex’s way. Jason says, sounds like the right call, and Sonny says he wants to make the same deal with Jason. Jason asks how that would work, and Sonny says he wants Jason to go work for the FBI or whatever it is that he’s doing. He doesn’t want to have anything more to do with Jason.
Elizabeth tells Chase, Finn was apologetic and embarrassed about what happened, both for the drinking and his behavior. He said he was in shock after finding their dad, but that talking to Chase really helped. Chase says, Finn came back from dropping Violet off at school expecting to see their dad up and waiting for him. Instead, he found him dead. Finn is the one who had to call 911, who had to sign the paperwork, who had to watch their father… watch his body being taken away. If that bourbon wasn’t in the apartment, there’s no way he would have gone out to find a drink of alcohol. She says, he doesn’t have to defend his brother. She understands the sequence of events. What she didn’t understand was his reaction to her. He was argumentative and angry with her for suggesting he go to a meeting, which he refused. Chase says he knows Finn feels terrible about that, and she says, Violet was in the house. She feels terrible about that. He says he gets it. Finn made bad choices and he knows it. They’re all pretty raw right now. He knows he’s not at his best. All he’s saying is, his brother screwed up. Nobody’s questioning that. But doesn’t she think, given the situation, it merits a little understanding?
Carly tells Molly that the first she heard anything had happened was when Jason called her to tell her that Sonny went after Dex and Kristina witnessed it. Then Jason asked her to come to the MetroCourt for Sonny. She never saw Kristina, but she does know Sonny tracked her down first. Molly asks if she knows what happened, and Carly says she knows Sonny was upset. He didn’t go into detail, but from what she understands, when Jason was pulling Sonny off of Dex, they realized Kristina saw the whole thing. She ran off, Sonny took off after her, he found her in a ladies’ room right off the ballroom, and he tried to explain to her what happened, but Kristina was really upset. He said that she was hysterical and that she was afraid of him. Molly says, can Carly blame her? and Carly says, no. And she thinks Kristina was scared of Sonny because she saw him act in a way she’d never seen before. Kristina grew up hearing whispers about Sonny being a mobster. She’s sure Molly heard it too. Molly says, absolutely, and Carly says she thinks Kristina told herself that in Sonny’s case, being a mobster in this day and age is just somebody with some shady business practices. So witnessing the attack and hearing Sonny threaten to kill Jason and Dex, she’s sure that was devastating for Kristina. Molly says, for the first time, she realized what they all mean by mobster.
Jason says he and Sonny had this conversation months ago and his position hasn’t changed. The coffee business is half his and he’s not leaving. Sonny says, the offer to buy him out still stands. What’s his price? Jason says he’s not selling, and Sonny says, the FBI ordered Jason to stay here so he can keep tabs on him? Jason says he’s not selling because this is their business. They founded this company together and they’re equal partners. Sonny says, the partnership was based on trust. That trust has been broken. Jason broke it. So he’s offering Jason a way out. If he’s smart, he’ll take it. Jason says he’s not staying for himself. He’s staying for Sonny.
John says, with all due respect, this man’s a security risk, but Portia says, he’s handcuffed to the bed and he’s guarded around the clock. She doesn’t have to like the patients who find themselves in this hospital, but she does have to provide them with the best medical care possible. And his surgeon hasn’t cleared him to be released. John says he doesn’t think she realizes who this man is. He’s a former intelligence agent, a national security risk, and well-trained in the art of disinformation, making things look like what they’re not. She’s playing right into his hands. Portia asks if he thinks this is a game for her, because she’s certainly not playing it. Mr. Brennan was wounded severely and was bleeding excessively, and it required surgery. And he will not leave this bed until his surgeon says that he’s okay to be released. She’s not sending him back to prison so his wound can open up and bleed out. Her decision stands. This patient stays right here. She leaves, and Jack says, you were saying, Agent Cates?
On the phone, Laura says she has a favor to ask Donald. Jordan Ashford would like to come down and talk to him about a confidentiality concern they have… Thank you. She’ll be down later this afternoon. She tells Jordan that Donald Rollins will be waiting for her in the records room, and hands her a paper. Jordan says she’ll check it out, and Laura says she knows Jordan warned her this might happen, and she wants to thank her for not saying, I told you so. Jordan says she didn’t expect it to happen this fast, but she really thinks Laura should get ahead of this story – now. Issue a statement saying that she has no intention of reopening Heather Webber’s case and of trying to mitigate her sentence. Laura says she doesn’t want to paint herself into a corner making a promise she might not be able to keep, and Jordan says, she doesn’t advocate for freeing Heather, correct? Laura says, correct, and Jordan says, then draft a statement saying that. There’s a knock at the door, and Laura says, come in. Curtis walks in, and Laura asks what she can do for him. He says, does she mind if they talk for a minute?
Curtis says he’s sorry if he’s interrupting their meeting, but Jordan says, no worries. They were just wrapping up. Laura says, he looks wonderful. It’s so good to see him up and about. Curtis thanks her and says, it’s good to be up and about. Jordan says she’ll get going on that project they were just discussing. She’ll be in touch. Good to see Curtis. He says, likewise, and she leaves. Laura says, okay. She thinks she might know why he’s here. He says, a few months ago, around the time of Heather’s initial diagnosis, Portia was worried Laura was looking into getting Heather’s case reopened. He didn’t pay it too much concern at first because he didn’t think she would do that. Fast forward to today, and he reads an article in The Invader that says just that. She asks him to sit down and says, that article should never have gone to print. He says he agrees, if it’s a lie, but he doesn’t hear her saying it is. She says, the headline is a lie. She’s not looking to get Heather freed. He says, so she’s not examining the legal ramifications of her medical diagnosis? and she says she’s exploring whether or not there are any legal ramifications. Since she’s not a lawyer, she needs to consult one, and in order to do that, she needed to request copies of Heather’s records from the time of her arrest through her sentencing. She can’t predict how a judge will decide, but she can tell him that it’s her personal feeling, in light of Heather’s diagnosis, she deserves to have her case reopened.
Carly tells Molly that they are family. She’s seen the relationship between Kristina and her father, and she’s truly a daddy’s girl. And Sonny loves her so much. She was going to have to see Sonny more realistically at some point. Carly is sorry it happened now. Molly says she’s still trying to figure out how she feels about it all, and Carly says she bets. What is Molly going to do about it? Molly says, nothing. She thinks she’s just going to sit on it. She can’t tell TJ. He would just go straight to Kristina and confront her, which would only make things worse, so she’ll just sit on pins and needles, and send up a silent prayer that Kristina will be all right. That she’ll do the right thing, for herself and this baby. Everything else is out of her control. Carly says, wow. She already sounds like a mom. All those feelings she’s talking about, they’re always going to be there. She doesn’t mean to scare Molly, but she’s going to be afraid and she’s going to be worried. That’s never going to go away. She’s going to constantly be sending up those silent prayers, praying that your kids are happy and healthy, all the while knowing it’s all out of your control. Kristina’s made of good stuff. She has the feeling Kristina and the baby are going to be just fine. Molly thanks her and says she really appreciates Carly being honest with her. She and Carly touch hands, and Molly leaves.
Jason says he has to stay. Corinthos Coffee is Sonny’s only legitimate business. It’s his only shield left against RICO charges. Sonny asks if that’s what Jason’s handlers told him to say, just in case he tried to push Jason out. Who does he think was running the business when he was off doing whatever he was doing? Jason says, Sonny pays no attention to this place. It was barely operational when he came back. He increased the inventory, and he added some staff. He’s trying to build this business back up because it’s the best cover Sonny has. Sonny says, Jason isn’t protecting him. He’s spying on him. He wants Jason out of his business, out of his life. Jason moves closer to Sonny and says he’s Sonny’s friend. He’s Sonny’s friend for as long as he can remember, and he’s telling Sonny right now, he is in real trouble.
Elizabeth says she’s sympathetic to what Chase’s family is going through, and Chase says, maybe things will make more sense once the memorial is over. He keeps telling himself that he and Finn will feel closure. She says she hopes they both find that, and he says his dad wanted his ashes scattered. They’re planning a small gathering, those closest to him, just friends and family. He’d love it if she were there. She says, Finn already told her, and of course (🍷) she’ll be there. It’s been twenty minutes. His copies will be ready. She’ll go get them. He says he’s imposed enough, but she says she can bypass the line. She’ll be right back.
Jack says, as the good doctor pointed out, he’s still recovering from surgery and tires easily. Would John care to clear out and give him some rest? John says, since he can’t take Jack back to Pentenville (yeah, nice try, John) – he closes the door – he’ll just have to question Jack here. Jack says, John can ask all the questions he likes, but he has nothing more to say without his lawyers being present and they’re very busy people. John says, maybe it’s time to hire new lawyers. Isn’t it curious that Jack’s spent months behind bars without his case being brought to trial? What is he paying these people for? What’s the hold up? Jack says, he’d have to ask the Justice Department, and John says he has. It seems Jack’s lawyers are very busy asking for postponements and their justifications are flimsy at best. Almost as if they’d been given the directive to stall. Jack laughs, and John says, he’d better watch that legal bill. It’s gonna be a doozie. Jack says he told them to take their time because he wanted the full Pentenville experience. His stay just wouldn’t be complete until he’s stabbed in the showers. Maybe he’ll tell them that he’s ready to move things along now. John says, or maybe he’s waiting for something else to happen. Maybe he doesn’t want to leave until the time is right.
Molly meets TJ at the hospital, and he thanks her for stopping by. He just couldn’t get away. Here’s her phone. She says, and his, and they trade. She says she promises she’ll get a different colored case, and he says, it was bound to happen eventually. He’s just glad he wasn’t on call. She says, he didn’t miss anything important. His gym membership is about to expire. Did she get many calls? He says, not really. He kind of expected to see some calls from Kristina, but nothing. Molly says she saw Kristina at her mom’s, and he asks if she’s okay. She says, if he means Kristina, she seemed fine. If he means her mom, she’s pretty sure she’s going to lose her case. (I don’t know why. It didn’t look that way in the courtroom.) But she’s not that worried about it right now. Molly thinks Gregory Chase’s death really put things in perspective for her. He says he called her office a while ago. They said she was out. She says she’s been on the go. She was just wrapping up a meeting at the MetroCourt when he called and then she came straight here.
Curtis says, so the paper was right. Laura does want to set Heather free, but Laura says, no, she doesn’t. She’s advocating to have her case reopened, taking into consideration that she was suffering from an undiagnosed illness at the time she committed those crimes. He says, even if it results in a lesser sentence? and she says she knows how upset he is about this, but at this point, this is all just speculation. All she did was ask for some records. No action has been taken yet. He says, yet, and she says, if she decides to go forward with anything, she’ll let him know first. Trina’s family does deserve the truth. He says, we deserve justice, and she says she does understand that sentiment. He says, it’s not just a sentiment. Imagine if it was her child who watched her friends and her mentors being stalked, attacked, and killed. Now imagine if it was her child who was the real target all along, that the killer was just waiting for the right opportunity. Would she still be okay with mitigating the sentence, as the article put it? Or would she want that killer locked away in a supermax where they’ll never have the opportunity to hurt her child again?
Jason says, Sonny attacked a police cadet at a wedding. Sonny threatened to kill him and Dex not 200 feet from his closest friends, and Kristina saw the whole thing. She saw a side of Sonny that she never even knew existed. Sonny looks at him with that scary face he gets now, and Jason says, he’s making sloppy decisions. He’s not thinking clearly. He’s not thinking things through. He has to rein it in. Please, let me help you. Sonny says he’s trying to be friendly. Just for the record, Jason is turning him down. So he’s not going to be friendly anymore. If Jason doesn’t get out of his way, he’s done, he’s gone. Sonny walks out.
Jack says, his lawyers aren’t stalling. They’re trying to make sense of the charges. John says, they’re pretty straightforward actually. He’s been accused of, among other things, criminal conspiracy and attempted murder. Jack asks just who he tried to kill. Carly Spencer? Even she doesn’t believe it. John says, Anna Devane and Dante Falconari, and Jack says, when Anna and the detective showed up – with their guns drawn he might add – he wasn’t holding a weapon. He made no threatening moves whatsoever. Granted, there was a slight misunderstanding with Miss Spencer. He neglected to tell her that he was director of the WSB, and she mistakenly thought she had to defend herself. Now Anna, on the other hand, she knew exactly what she was doing when she came through that door. John says, that was a nice deflection. He was talking about the hit he put out on Anna and Dante at the pier. But let’s talk about Anna’s involvement in your takedown. Very convenient, wasn’t it? Jack says, that’s not how he felt when she had a gun trained on him at point blank range, and he happens to know from prior experience, she’s an expert shot. Now if this lackluster interrogation is over, he’s getting very tired. John says, you and Commissioner Devane were in the WSB together in the 80s, weren’t you? and Jack says, John knows they were. John says, so what are the odds that when Jack gets busted, his old friend crashes through the door at the perfect moment to take him down?
Molly says she’ll catch up with Kristina later, and TJ says, it just seems strange that she’d go radio silent. She’s in her final trimester, the baby’s due in August, and it just stands to reason they’d want to know how their baby is doing. Maybe they should go with her to her next doctor’s appointment. He’ll check with Dr. Navarro… Molly says she wouldn’t. He knows how Kristina feels about boundaries. He says he understands boundaries, but he also understands they are the baby’s parents. So… Portia says she’s so sorry to interrupt, but she really needs to speak with Molly as soon as she has a free moment. Molly says she’s free now. What’s up? Portia asks if TJ would mind giving them a moment, and he says he has rounds. He’ll see Molly at home. He leaves, and Molly asks what she can do for Portia. Portia asks if she’s seen The Invader today, but Molly says, no. She’s been pretty busy today. Why? Portia says she’s extremely concerned that Laura Collins is attempting to free Heather Webber. She would just like to know how the DA’s office would plan to fight this? (Wow. It’s like half the characters have turned into tyrants.)
Laura says she understands completely how Curtis feels. He wants to protect Trina and he has every right. He says, what about everybody else’s rights? Brando Corbin, Rory Cabrera, Britt Westbourne. Those young people had a right to live. Heather killed those people. What about the survivors, Ava Jerome and Diane Miller? Has she once asked them how they feel about her reopening Heather’s case? Laura says, Heather does not deny her crimes. But she is having a hard time locking this woman away for the rest of her life when she may not have possessed the mental capacity to tell the difference between right and wrong. He says, those people are dead still, either way, and she says she knows that. But the metallosis could have been the deciding factor there. She thinks that should go… it must go in the record. He says, and if it alters her sentence? and she says, that’s for the court to decide.
Molly says, what she can tell Portia is, no motion has been filed that she’s aware of. No hearing has been scheduled. Whatever’s in this article is pure speculation. Portia asks if Molly’s mother would maybe know more, but Molly says she doubts it. She’s been out of town the last few days and she only just got back. She’s probably going to be livid that this got published without her. It’s full of holes. Portia says, but if a motion is filed, how are they going to fight it? and Molly says, Heather’s attorney is probably going to argue that Heather is not guilty because she lacked the mens rea (Latin for guilty mind) to commit the crime. There was no way for Heather to be in control of her actions because the cobalt poisoning was controlling her behavior. Therefore, she is not responsible for what she did. If she’s no longer responsible and no longer a danger to others… Portia says, that woman is a danger to others, and don’t give her the technicality of the diagnosis of cobalt poisoning really allowing this woman to walk free. Isn’t it the DA office’s duty to see that justice is done to ensure this woman remains behind bars? They owe her victims that much.
Sonny strides through the MetroCourt lobby, and Carly jets after him. She asks him what he’s doing here. Where is he going? He says he has business to attend to, and she asks if he’s talked to Kristina. He says, not today. Today, he’s dealing with Jason.
At the warehouse, Jason does actual work, taking inventory or something. He stops for a moment, like he feels something, then goes back to it. Two gunmen slip into the warehouse, but I think he knows.
Elizabeth hands Chase an envelope, apologizing for how long it took. There are ten copies. He says he really appreciates her going through all the trouble, but she says she’s just glad she could help. He looks at the certificate, and she asks if he’s okay. He says, it’s just so official. So formal and real. This is all that’s left of his dad. She says, no. He is what’s left. Him and Finn and Violet. Gregory loved them. He’s always going to be with them.
Molly tells Portia that she hasn’t seen any motions to reopen Heather’s case, but she feels confident should that happen, the DA’s office can successfully argue against any mitigation of her sentence. Portia (who is already working my last nerve) says she wants to believe Molly, but she can’t just sit here and relax, and hope Molly takes it from here. She’s going to fight against any type of release. Because she’s learned the hard way that when it comes to Heather Webber, anything is possible.
Curtis tells Laura, this whole thing reeks of what happened to Heather’s daughter. Esme was never held accountable for her actions because of her supposed amnesia. His daughter Trina didn’t press charges against the new Esme because Esme wasn’t aware of what the old Esme had done. So look at what they have now. What if some legal loophole puts her back on the street? Does Laura want to open the door to that possibility? Laura says, it’s up to the court to decide. She still thinks it’s the fair thing to do. He says, life is not fair. It certainly wasn’t fair to those young people who were murdered by a poisoned hook. Laura knows he respects her and considers her a good friend, but she’s wrong on this one. She’s wrong and she’s leaving him and Portia no choice but to fight her on it. And they will. She can trust and believe they will with everything they’ve got. He walks out and Laura looks sad.
Jack says he’s not sure he understands why John brings his prior relationship with Anna into this, and John says, maybe he and Anna planned that bust. Jack says, that’s interesting. Why? John says, maybe he was too conspicuous as the head of both Pikeman and the WSB, and Jack says, but he’s not head of Pikeman. John says, maybe that bust was a handoff of power from Jack to Anna. What’s Jack’s role in Pikeman anyhow? Jack says, he’ll have to ask Anna about that, and John says, don’t worry, he will. Heal fast. John walks out, and tells the guard, he’s all yours.
Carly says, Sonny was dealing with Jason? What’s going on? Did they talk? Sonny says he offered to buy Jason out of the coffee business. He gave Jason a chance to walk away. He refused, so what happens next is on him.
Jason is flipping through the papers on his clipboard, and suddenly chucks it aside and ducks for cover. The gunmen start shooting at him and he shoots back. Nobody seems to be a very good shot.
On Monday, Kristina asks Blaze, how does someone say something by accident; Natalia tells Ava that she’s not of the same mind; Diane says, there’s no guarantee the police are going to believe someone; and Carly asks Sonny what he did.
