04-27-2017 (Thursday) How to Save a Life

Tripp questions Kayla about his mother’s murder; he says something just doesn’t seem right.  Kayla does her best to skirt around the truth; the conversation is interrupted by Roman, dropping a tray and falling to the floor, gasping.  Kayla says it seems like he is having an allergic reaction; she sends Tripp to her car for her medical bag.  He doesn’t respond to the ‘epi’ injection; Kayla decides to do an emergency tracheotomy… Tripp is on the ball, getting her everything she needs.  Tripp is thoroughly impressed with Kayla’s work; he tells her, “you were awesome.”  He may have found his calling.  Roman thanks his sister for saving his life; she tells him she couldn’t have done it without Tripp.  Roman says he owes Tripp one.

Tripp tells Kayla he was fascinated by the whole thing; she suggests he may want to consider a career in medicine, and admits that she was always a little disappointed that her kids didn’t want to go into medicine.  She invites him to join them for a family dinner tonight and he accepts.  Tripp goes in to see Roman; he apologizes for taking a swing at him and says he owes him one.  Roman tells him they all help each other and nobody is keeping score.

Eli thanks his mother for taking care of Gabi; Valerie invites the two of them to dinner.  He tells her that he is still angry she let him grow up without his father and leaves.  Gabi apologizes for him, saying he is just having a hard time; Valerie asks Gabi if she would tell Julie about this app that will help remind her when to take her meds.  Gabi says Julie doesn’t need anything like that; as “she doesn’t miss a trick.”  Valerie tells her she feels like that woman is trying to alienate Eli from her; she can tell Julie has been given Gabi a hard time too.  Abe says he is going to talk to Raines and having Lani take off this case; she protests, saying this is her job.  Eli comes in with a report of the drug; it’s a synthetic, called “halo.”  Causes erratic behavior and loss of memory; Lani says with a drug like that, so many people could be hurt.  She refuses to back out of the investigation.  Abe tells her she is stubborn; she sarcastically ponders whom she got that from.  She tells her dad, he can’t talk to JJ about this, though; she says she is doing this one solo.  He tells her just not to take too many risks.  Eli tells JJ about the drug; he tells Eli they need to get this guy.  He says he wants to keep Lani out of this one though.  

Lani gets another call from Snake; he sets up another meeting for tomorrow.  She packs her bag and starts to leave her room; JJ is standing there and asks if she’s going somewhere.  She tells him she is being discharged; she tells him her dad is driving her home and she promised Kayla she would take it easy.  He tells her he doesn’t ever want to see her hurting like that again.  Gabi runs into Abe; he tells her he is sorry about her father.  She tells him thank you and asks if she can talk to him about Eli and his mom; he tells her to sit down.  She explains what she has seen, says, “Julie doesn’t help” and suggests that together they think of something.  Eli and Gabi meet later; after talking for a while, he makes his move to kiss her.  She is receptive.

When Brady’s phone goes off, with a notification from the bank, Nicole worries that means the police or Deimos has found them.  He promises her that is not what it means, but he says he is going to get dressed and go see this guy at the bank.  Brady tells her they will handle whatever problem comes their way; she goes to look online to see what is happening in Salem.  She notices them missing prostitutes; Brady tells her they are safe and he leaves.  Somebody is looking through the window at Nicole.  She cleans up her dishes and goes to the room; Brady walks back in and hear her scream.- they come out laughing.  The water faucet broke and squirted her in the face; he tells her he just bought the local hardware store, Elkhorn Hardware.  She asks if he can be happy selling people hammers and toilets; he says he would much rather run an honest business than listen to Deimos make another shady deal.  He tells her she is going to work there too; he says he’s going to coach the kids’ soccer team, because he won’t be in Hong Kong.  He tells her he is so looking forward to this, a normal life, and a wife that loves him.  She says that is exactly what she wants too.  They kiss and race each other to the bedroom; somebody is still watching through the window.  As Brady and Nicole discuss how they have everything they want now, and no worries, a masked man with a gun comes through the front door.
