A Dark Well at Noon
Chains
of Love
Consider the cork in the finest bottle
of Veuve Cliquot. The stress builds just to the right point that all it takes
is …just a little twist. And in one long, continuous release of gas, pressure,
and volume – all pours forth in an inexorable stream until the vessel is empty.
Thus we find the situation with one Maxie Jones and her erstwhile soulmate,
Damian Spinelli. Both are laboring under
the weight of lies and and the pain of smothered truth, so much so that neither
will be able to bear the strain much longer. When Dante and Lulu discover a
furious Spin and distraught Ellie arguing in the hallway, Spin manages to weave
and dodge away from the mess – proving he’s much better at hiding truth than
discovering it.
Escaping momentarily from her
boyfriend’s wrath and baleful glares, Ellie hightails it up to the roof of GH –
the sought-after spot for all reflective moments in life – and discovers Franco
there, hovering on a precipice. Dealing with his own issues of deception,
daughters, and depressing reveals, his reaction upon hearing Ellie’s predicament, while shocking, also makes a convoluted sort of sense.
Heaving in between nightmare and
waking horror, Maxie forms a plan while Spinelli reels in emotional truss over
what’s happening, and upon confronting Maxie, the floodgates open. Loudly. Dante
and Lulu, increasingly concerned over Maxie’s almost obsessive behavior and attachment
to the baby, arrive on the scene as emotions and words escalate in stark,
specific relief.
Don’t
Lose My Number
Just as Olivia has her
terrifying, blood-laden vision, Sonny finds Connie on the floor of her office,
bleeding out from a gunshot wound. A
desperate plea, a final few moments, some leftover truths…and it’s over. Sonny is in a blind rage of grief, and the
hunt for a killer begins…two things which are not necessarily mutually
exclusive.
Like all children – or family
members – of alcoholics, Michael has begun to take on the role of caretaker for
a damaged, defeated AJ, who is on a downward slide so steep that it seems to
have its own gravity well. When AJ is hauled in for questioning by Anna and
Dante, he denies his involvement and points them in a different direction – but
wonders if he could actually be the culprit. His lawyer – the intrepid and ubiquitous
Diane Miller – snarls at him to keep quiet and say nothing, as there’s no
concrete evidence linking him to the murder.
Yet.
Reason
to Believe
Britt’s been cooling her jets in
the hoosegow for some time – so long that even Felix seems concerned and
wonders to Patrick and Sabrina if she may have disappeared. But her release back into the wild is
engineered by the only actual friend she probably has – Nikolas, who puts up
bail money and gets her out of at least one prison. But Britt’s barely able to breathe before
Patrick, concerned by recent revelations about Mutters and such, drops a
bombshell on her; he’s going to sue for custody of the baby. Full custody. And he’ll go to the wall and through it if he
has to.
Also

have been talking and spending time together, while Ava informs him – and Kiki –
of Connie’s death.
