Cupid and Psyche
Phenomenal Woman
Understandably apprehensive about
Silas’ news about Nina’s living arrangements, and with a PI’s mind towards
assessing the situation, Sam takes the initiative and goes to introduce
herself. She and Nina figuratively pace around the tulips with tentative care,
furtively searching for emotional landmines to avoid – or perhaps to mark for
later use. When Silas comes home, he has sort of a Michael Douglas moment; utterly
blindsided to find his girlfriend and his wife chatting in the living room. The
charged topic of conversation leads him to consider whether Sam is really past
the ghosts of her previous marriage, and is faced with some decisions after a
few very pointed questions from Nina.
Use Somebody
Emotionally drained, both Patrick and
Sabrina say goodbye to Gabriel and contemplate how to move on from here.
Sabrina accepts Juan’s offer to convalesce and recuperate in Puerto Rico after
Patrick’s sincere encouragement. Both need time to adjust and absorb what has
happened before they can go forward, and Patrick knows the best thing for
Sabrina is to be with her family, while he figures out a way to accept his loss
– and contemplate why Robin wasn’t there to support him in his grief.
Absorbed in her own thoughts as she
departs from the funeral service, Maxie is aghast to stumble upon Nathan and
Levi in the park, engaged in a decidedly physical and anything but impassive
scuffle. Levi loses his Zen completely
after a few well-aimed barbs from his elliptically-inclined nemesis, and
hilarity ensues as the diminutive object of their affections breaks it up and
scolds them into submission. Later, Maxie is floored when she discovers who is
summoned to her custody hearing, and the judge hands down a decision with
regard to her visitation rights with little Georgie.
Across town, Franco is happily
dragging his goods and chattels out from storage, gleefully rediscovering his boxed
and taped past like a kid at Christmas. After recovering from the sheer and
staggering volume of Franco’s storage bin, Carly is happy and excited about
their future – but Josslyn, to their consternation and confusion – makes her
displeasure known. Forcefully.
Grenade
It seems this week is the week where
people move in with other people and their people aren’t happy about said people
moving in. Sam’s not thrilled about Nina. Josslyn, Michael, and Morgan aren’t
over the moon about Franco – and then Michael, Morgan, Kiki and Carly find out
about Ava setting up a wet bar at Sonny’s, and all hell really breaks loose.
Kiki is stunned – first attempting to pry the truth out of her mother and then
reading Ava the riot act when all that comes are evasions. Morgan is hurt,
Carly is livid, and Michael is just simply baffled. But he has no problems offering Morgan an
ear, a shoulder, and unwavering support as his adrift brother flails for
emotional purchase. Eager to offer something new for Morgan to focus on,
Michael unveils ELQ’s newest and very ambitious project – and is surprised by
an unexpected visitor.
Master of Puppets
After butting heads with Anna, Sonny
keeps his gloves on and goes back in for Round Two with Julian Jerome in the
Park – a piece of City real estate getting more action nowadays than Pier
52. The two mob bosses feed squirrels
and chat amiably about the state of business, all the while lacing their
comments with an undercurrent of menace and tension. Julian is still being pressured
by his overlord to keep up on product marketing, and in turn puts pressure on
Jordan, who is feeling pressured by her overlord,
Anna Devane. Overwhelmed and sick at having
to continue lying to TJ, Jordan appeals to Julian’s better nature, imploring
him to name his boss.
Also Next Week:
Ava is shocked by news she never expected to hear, and Tracy develops a
new scheme. After talking to Olivia, Lulu makes a decision and shares it with
Dante. TJ and Molly commiserate over their mothers.
