In the apartment building's hallway, Chance, arms folded, scolds Chloe for not trusting him (while Kevin asserts that it wasn't his idea - and Chloe has her own bedroom). Chloe claims she just moved in so they can spend some time together. It IS logical - and perfect. As Heather enters her apartment, Chloe's disturbed to see it's only a studio apartment (which Heather will be sharing with HER 'fiance').
When Sharon visits, Nick's 'glad' to see her safe - not sure what he'd have done if anything happened to her.
You're gonna burn, burn, burn in hell, Adam hisses through the air vent - you'll suffer for all eternity. I'm NOT a murderer! Patty snivels. In the hallway, Mike plans to add perjury to Adam's charges (insanity's a hoax). About to unlock Adam's door, the doctor hears Patty screech 'Leave me alone!!!!' (and runs off to tend to her - as Adam scurries back through the air vent. I'm going in, Victor announces. What the hell? he scowls once inside.
In her room, Patty's babbling about the devil coming to take her to hell. And who could stick a pen in that poor baby doll!? His expression indicating he believes her responsible, the doctor caves to Patty's pleas to go to the day room- but the orderly must supervise her.
Mike joins Victor (who's watching Adam weakly hitting his head against the wall) - then goes to get Dr Fowler. Think you're being clever? Victor grunts - son, I ain't buyin' it - you're not insane - he, Mike and the doctor know it (and soon the whole world will too). Not responding, Adam continues to nod his head.
Sharon's hoping Adam being back will result in the charges against Nick being dropped. Nick talks of his reaction to seeing that bastards face - how terrible it must have been for Sharon. She can handle it - and appreciates his concern - but Phyllis is a wreck. SHE'S the one Nick should be worried about. She's upset about more than the trial (and has reason to be).
In Heather's new apartment, Chloe notes the one bed - is Heather sleeping in the bathtub. Chance will be in a sleeping bag in the corner. He points out the hooks for the dividing bed sheet. Not placated at all, Chloe's off to unpack. Heather thinks it a good idea that Chloe leave with her new roommate - she and Chance are going to bed. Now? Yes - they have to get up at 04:00. Heather and Kevin exchange an awkward look - as Chance kisses Chloe - I love YOU. Once Chloe and Kevin leave, Heather jokes about the drama (which Chance blames on her pushing Chloe's buttons). Grinning, Heather's sorry - it won't happen again.
Back home, Kevin assures Chloe that Chance is crazy about her. HE'S not the one Chloe's worried about. She WILL relax (and read a book about untraceable poisons). G'night. But as Kevin retires for the night, Chloe slips out the front door.
Down the hall, Heather watches Chance doing push ups (to let off some steam). Something wrong? Heather confides that Adam did the same thing (to work off his aggressions). Oops - how IS Heather doing (with Adam back in town). Once upon a time, she couldn't see herself with anyone but Adam - but now she wants him to rot in prison.
Victor leans in to tell Adam that the doctor's not buying his act - stop the nonsense. Staring straight ahead, Adam ignores Victor (who now accuses him of killing Hightower). I didn't do it, Adam says. Oh - he came out of his trance, Mike quips when he brings the doctor in (to say he sees no signs of psychosis - Adam will be released to police custody - and give Mr Baldwin a copy of the documents). Leaving the orderly to tend to the cut on Adam's head, the doctor announces he's canceling Mr Newman's medication. Now alone with the orderly, Adam asks for construction paper - to make something special.
Sharon tells Nick that this goes beyond Phyllis' usual petty jealousy. Nick's stunned - he's committed to his marriage. Yes - but Phyllis feels we have unfinished business, Sharon continues - It goes beyond co parenting - admit it. If Sharon can hear the concern (for her) in Nick's voice, how must Phyllis feel? Everyone thinks they're destined to be together - maybe it's time they deal with that.
Look at me, Heather groans - why can't she get past what Adam did to her? She's smart - got a lot going for her. Why did she fall for a sociopath. Chance reminds that he fooled Victor (not many can say that). Never mind Victor, Heather still feels like a fool. Her Mom ended up with a real prince too, she weeps. She's even bitter that 'Paul' wasn't involved in her life. How can Heather trust her instincts ever again? In the hallway, Chloe's hear is to Heather's door. You just couldn't help yourself, could you, Kevin creeps up to startle her.
A smug Victor and Mike are at Indigo - showing Owen Dr Fowler's assessment of Adam's mental state. Mike reads an excerpt of the evaluation. He's amoral, deceptive, Victor adds - not psychotic. Score one for the defense, Mike gloats - it's already been entered into evidence. You through? No - but YOU are, Victor snarls. Adam's your killer. And the longer Owen continues this farce, the more foolish he's gonna look. Drop the charges against Nick - save what's left of the DA's pitiful career.
Nick sees nothing to figure out - he's made his priorities clear. Sharon knows that - but does the rest of the world? Nick won't apologize for being worried about Sharon's safety. Well - we found Adam - end of story. Nick has to ask what happened in Brazil - what did Adam say to you?
Adam hovers behind a magazine in the day room - watching as Patty comes across a mask (flashback to her wearing a similar one at the ball - as Adam threatened to out her). Where did this come from? Patty accosts the fellow patients - then asks to go back to her room - now. Catching sight of Adam in a hand made mask through the door, Patty screams - Noooooooo!
Mike and Victor gloat at the bar - Owen sure doesn't look too happy. Victor thanks Mike for all he's done. Heather and Chance have an angry Owen on speakphone. We did our jobs - if Nick didn't kill Hightower, it's obvious who did. Heather thinks it best to admit they made a mistake. Owen will be a hero if he puts Adam away. Owen will call them when he decides what to do. That leaves Heather to gush all over Chance (for 'having her back').
Sharon explains that Adam came to her hotel - we talked. She never felt she was in danger. What did she promise Adam - to get him to come back to GC? Sharon used his love for her. The plan didn't backfire - and Sharon's no longer afraid of Adam. Nick thinks that naive - she SHOULD be afraid.
The doctor finds Patty sobbing in the day room. They couldn't find anyone wearing a mask in the hallway. He was pointing at me, Patty snivels. And, as she's escorted out, Adam slips out to watch.
Back in the visiting cell, Sharon refuses to be afraid of Adam. Nick's sick that she used herself as bait - but it worked. Not exactly - Adam tried to escape. She then talks of the warning shots being fired - but no - she's not hung up on Adam (just didn't want to see him killed) - doesn't mean she loves him. Nick doesn't understand.
Adam's gone, Patty tells herself - stay calm, stay calm. Entering the day room with a smile, Patty's horrified to find all the patients wearing masks. It's sick! Patty screams - as she rips the masks off one by one. And as she's once again hauled away screaming, Adam watches.
Over wine, Kevin tells Chloe that her fears are all in her head (while Jana actually DID cheat). Chloe swears Kevin to secrecy - then confides that Chance was a virgin. Won't he wonder what it's like to be with other women? Suddenly, Chance is every other guy who cheated on her. And that scares the hell out of you, Kevin concludes.
Hanging up the dividing sheet, Chance feels the need to talk to Chloe. Heather tells him not to worry about it - he and Chloe will be just fine in the morning. You're right, Chance agrees. The alarm's set for 04:00 - good night - sleep well. Chance undresses to his boxer briefs - Heather removes her robe. And as the sheet falls, both dive for it (then laugh awkwardly).
As Chance staples the sheet up, Heather jokes - can't see each other in our jammies - we'll turn into sex crazed beasts. The sexual tension is apparent as both stammer - then retreat to opposite sides of the sheet. Chance sends Chloe a text - missing you. Neither look sleepy.
Across the hall, Chloe and Kevin decide what to watch on TV - NASCAR racing? Coco Channel documentary? As they decide on a movie, Chloe doesn't notice the message on her phone.
Mike and Victor hope all Owen's frantic calls mean Nick will be released tonight. The DA's filed a warrant for Adam's arrest - but Nick's trial's still on. BOTH Newman boys are going to jail for a long, long time. Victor sounds like a fortune cookie - a man seeking vengeance digs two graves - one for his enemy, one for himself. No threat - it's a proverb. Owen's left to look much less confident.
Nick doesn't want Sharon to go - but thinking they've said enough for one night, she walks out. You'll have more company soon, the guard can't wait to announce his brother, Adam, will be joining him soon. Try not to kill him - again.
I didn't kill anyone, Patty's now completely unhinged - I'm not a killer, she repeats. Adam's still lurking (as Patty's sedated and lead off).
Next: The Murphy's and the Baldwin's are both stunned by Jill's announcement (as she waves documents around) - I have legally changed my name. I am now officially Jill Fenmore ...Also at Kay's party - I saw the video - made me wanna vomit, Ashley curls her lip at Abby .. As Patty quivers in her bed, Adam shines a light straight into her eyes (so he can't be seen) 'Patty Williams - I've come from hell - for you'.
My Thoughts: My apologies - no time today - I'm off to a Canada Day BBQ. |
