02-17-2017 (Friday) One Son Missing; Another Lost

Everybody turns and looks at Julie.  They ask what’s wrong; she says her grandson, Scotty, just told her that her son, David is dead.  She breaks down crying.  He was in a motorcycle accident and was killed instantly she manages to utter.  She rambles on about how she told him motorcycles were dangerous; she says she sent him a helmet.  Then she says she’s a horrible mother, says she should have tried harder, should have stayed with him, and now he’s gone.  Everybody does their best to comfort her.  She is devastated.  Valerie is breaking into tears; Abe asks if she’s okay.  She apologizes and says she “just needs to…” and walks away.  It dawns on someone that David was Valerie’s first love; Abe says he didn’t know that.  He goes to comfort her.  Doug says he wants to take Julie home now; she says she would like to lay down.  She walks away, saying, “what a terrible day.”  

Marlena finds Valerie sitting alone; she asks what happened.  Valerie tells her about David’s death; she says Julie must be devastated, then she asks about Valerie – she says he was the first man she ever truly loved.  Marlena asks, “what about David’s son?”  Valerie looks shocked; she asks what she means.  Marlena says, “Scotty.”  A look of relief comes over Valerie’s face; “right,” she says.  She says it was never easy for David and her; they apparently broke up and got back together, a lot.  She tells Marlena David was still in her life, more than he even realized; just as she is about to tell Marlena something in confidence, Abe rounds the corner.  Marlena excuses herself, saying they should get together and continue talking sometime; Valerie thanks her.  Abe offers to walk her home, but Valerie says she needs to just be alone; she talks to “David” saying that she should have told him when she had the chance, and now it’s too late.

Hope tells Rafe she wants to stop by her parents on their way home, to make sure Julie is okay.  He puts the music on and holds out his hand; she tells him she is elated to be there with him.  They dance; they kiss.

Nicole gets dressed for court; Justin is waiting for her.  He gets a phone call; he says what they are saying is a little unusual.  Brady asks Deimos why he is so happy; he says he is happy that Nicole is getting her baby back.  Brady asks how he can know that; he suspects that Deimos is up to something.  He denies it; he gets upset when Justin comes in and tells him that he can’t attend the hearing.  He tells Brady and Deimos that the judge has decided to hear the case in chambers.  After they leave, Deimos admits to Brady that he has “taken out an insurance policy” by bribing the judge; Brady tells him that could backfire on them.  Deimos is confident though, laughing at the thought.  

Nicole begs Chloe to give up the fight, the minute they enter the courtroom.  Chloe asks if that means she is willing to give up Deimos; Nicole just looks unsure.  The judge walks in, but it’s not the judge that Justin was expecting; she tells him to sit down and says it will be explained.  Belle stands up and explains that there was communication discovered between the former judge and Deimos Kariakis; when presented with the evidence, the judge recused himself.  Nicole tells Chloe she knew nothing about it; Chloe doesn’t believe her… the judge says there will be order in her chambers.  Belle makes her opening statement and slanders Nicole, listing every one of her past indiscretions, and claiming baby Holly would be in danger if placed in the care of Nicole Walker.  Nicole already looks as if she has lost.  Justin gets his turn; he presses the fact that Nicole is this baby’s biological mother, naming precedent; he adds that Chloe has a history of post-partum depression.  Chloe speaks out, saying she didn’t have any depression this time; the judge gets up to ponder her decision.  Nicole asks if she can say something; she stands up and tells how grateful she is to Chloe for doing this, and how much she loves her for it; Chloe looks back at her.  Nicole cries as she talks about Daniel and says Holly is all she has left; she swears she would never put her little girl in danger, she would center her life around her, love her and protect her.  She sits down, sobbing; the judge stands up and leaves, saying this won’t be an easy decision.  Moments later, the judge comes back and says she is ready to give her ruling.

Adrian happens by the alley where Paul is laying; she sees him and runs over to him.  His head is cut and he is bleeding, front and back, apparently.  She holds a napkin to the back of his head after realizing her hand is bloody; she tries to call for help.  He manages to tell her that “they took Sonny.”  Adrian tells Paul she knows that Deimos took Gabi and Chad; this must be in retaliation, Paul says.  Adrian remembers that Justin is in Court; she says they need to go to the police.  Paul says they should go see Deimos together; he gets to his feet and holds onto her.  They head off.  They walk in the door demanding that he tell them where Gabi and Chad are, and that he let them go right now.  She tells him someone else took Sonny now and he is responsible.  He denies everything and mocks her; Paul tells Deimos that he saw it happen.  He yells at Deimos and asks if he doesn’t even care about his nephew; Brady steps in and gets in Deimos’ face, asking if he had Chad and Gabi kidnapped.  Adrian screams at him, and lunges at him, beating on his chest, saying, “I want my son back..”
