Roman is talking to Eric about his prison sentence; he has set
things up with the warden to make things as easy as possible for him. Eric doesn’t want any favors, but Roman
explains that because he is his son, he may have a target on his back – he is
going to do whatever he can to protect him.
Lucas and Jennifer talk; he knows she is abusing her pills and calls her
out on it. She tells him she needs to
rest, insisting that she just takes on when she needs to take the edge
off. JJ comes home; he tells Jennifer
and Lucas that Ben was at the mansion, and that Abby injured him. It’s the same evening, and Abby appears to
be doing better as she plays with Thomas.
But when Chad mentions going to stay at a motel tonight so she doesn’t
have to deal with what’s upstairs, she asks “what’s upstairs”? Seems she has completely blocked out the
whole evening; Chad is confused. He
tells her the cops took Ben and he will never hurt her again – she asks where
the cops found Ben and is surprised when Chad says “here”.
Roman asks Eric to go see his mom before he
serves his sentence; Eric says he doesn’t want Marlena to see him like
this. Roman hugs him and tells him he
loves him; he has to go back to work.
JJ does his best to explain things to his mother; he lets her know that
Abby is ok, although some details of what happened are fuzzy. Jennifer goes to see her daughter. Chad asks Abby what she remembers from
tonight; she recalls a bad dream. She
says there are images, but they are kind of jumbled – now she wants to know
what happened; she asks Chad “did I see Ben?”
Chad suggests leaving again; she says no. She wants to stay on the couch, all night, with Chad and Thomas. He says ok.
John sits with Marlena; Eric comes by and John excuses himself. He hugs Eric goodbye. Eric tells his mom he’s not sure if there
will be time for goodbye after his sentencing in the morning – she tells him
whatever happens, she will come to see him.
He apologizes to her for letting her down, but says he doesn’t want her
coming there. She asks him to stay, but
he says he has some more goodbyes to take care of. Abby dreams of the events from that evening, while Chad wanders
through the house. Jennifer comes to
the door asking what happened; Chad explains the revision of events as he
described it to the police. Jennifer
goes to look in on Abby; JJ tells Chad he knows that something about the story
isn’t right – he needs to know what really happened to file the report. Chad
tells him to put down what he told them, then drop Ben down a deep, dark hole
and lose him.
JJ takes his mother home
and heads to the hospital – Jennifer takes another pill. JJ is in Ben’s room now, talking to him
while he is unconscious; calls him a son-of-a-bitch. Eric goes to see Jennifer, who pours herself a drink and tells
him to help himself; despite the fact that he just told his mother he hadn’t
had a drink in three days, he pours one… and then another and another. They kiss; then leave to go “somewhere” –
hmmm.
