Tripp comes to ask Kayla when she wants
him to shadow her again; she receives an alert that someone is coding and she
has to go. When the nurses step away
from the front desk, Tripp goes up and takes a look at a patient’s file, who
had died. He changes the orders, up-ing
the Morphine dose to a lethal limit; he says, “how tragic… Doctor Johnson has
made a fatal mistake.” Kayla returns
and asks if they can talk at a later time; he says yeah, claiming he has to go
anyway.
Theo talks to his dad about the letter Claire hid from him, from Ciara;
he is really mad about it and doesn’t know if he can forgive her. His dad says he knows he has a hard time
dealing with people who are unpredictable, and asks if he loves her; he says he
does… but, he feels like he doesn’t really know her. He asks his dad, how can he love someone he doesn’t even
know? Jade knocks on Claire’s door;
Claire opens it and says, “no.” Jade
forces her way in and insists that Claire accept her apology, asking what the
big deal is; Claire says she told Jade no and Jade made the video anyway… she
tells her she never wants to talk to her again. Jade goes to gripe to Joey, at the Pub, that Claire won’t forgive
her; he asks what she expected and as she complains that it was harmless and
hardly anybody saw the sex video she made of Theo and Claire, Kayla walks up
behind her. Kayla tells Jade nothing
excuses that type of behavior; Jade brings up Joey murdering Ava. Kayla can’t believe she would just spout
that out right there in public; Joey takes his mother aside and tries to calm
her down, but Kayla tells him this has to stop. She says his ‘friendship’ with Jade is not healthy for him,
saying that girl is not going to go quietly into the night; Jade steps into the
picture in the background over Joey’s shoulder, as Kayla tells him, “she could
ruin your life forever.”
Joey asks his
mom to have enough faith in him to handle this on his own; he tells her Jade is
his problem and he will deal with her.
Kayla says okay, shrugging her shoulders; she leaves, still obviously
concerned. Jade’s first words are,
“that woman doesn’t know how to stop.”
He reminds her that woman is his mom; Jade just gloats in the fact that
he stuck up for her, and that he gets that she didn’t do it to be mean. He tries to nicely point out that what she
did was disgusting, and the fact that she doesn’t see anything wrong with it,
means she might have a problem; he tells her she should talk to someone,
professional. She tells him she will,
for him; she hugs him and leaves.
Eric tells Nicole he understands working with
him isn’t going to be easy; she tells him this isn’t about him, calling him a
big jerk, and tells him she just lost Holly.
She explains to him the events of that morning; he can’t believe the
judge put the baby in foster care. Eric
says she will get Holly back after that; Nicole agrees, saying she is going to
prove that she is a responsible person, capable of raising her daughter. She then tells him that she really doesn’t
want to talk about anything personal with him anymore, asking if they keep
their conversations strictly work-related; he concedes. They spend the rest of the afternoon in
almost complete silence; Eric’s mom calls.
Eric is delighted with her news; he tells Nicole about the idea to
spread the awareness of the Horton Center at the Martin House party. Nicole says launching the campaign at a
party is a great idea; she says she has more ideas about how to jumpstart the
fundraiser and goes to make some calls.
Jade walks in the door; Eric asks if he can help her. She says she needs to talk to a counselor;
Eric says he’s free now. Jade
introduces herself; she tells Eric she is there because of Joey, adding she is
trying to be a better person for him.
Theo finds Claire at work and asks her if they can talk; he says he’s
thought about it and says sometimes when people are different, being together
can be good, but he also says it can be bad.
He tells her he doesn’t think they are a good match; she asks if he is
breaking up with her, and he says, “yeah, I am.” She asks if he is going to call Ciara now and tell her they can
hook up; he says this isn’t about Ciara – it’s about them. He says he just doesn’t think it is going to
work between them; she says, “fine, whatever” and walks away. Kayla asks Claire if she’s okay; Claire says
it was bound to happen. She tells Kayla
she is right about Jade, saying, “she’s a total wrecking ball.” After Jade tells Eric what she did; he asks
if she ever thought that she was violating their privacy. She says no, saying it’s all over the
internet and television, noting a show called Masters of Sex; she says she
didn’t think it was that big a deal.
Eric asks her to put herself in their place and think of how she would
feel; she says, if they did it to help, like she did, it’d be okay.
Erictells her sex is a private and intimate
expression of love between two people; she claims she knows that, but then
calls herself an idiot. She says she
just wants Joey to love her the way she loves him; Eric tells her she needs to
learn to love herself. She asks how she
does that; he suggests setting goals, figuring out what she wants to do with
her life, what makes her who she is and makes her feel great about herself –
rather than needing someone else’s love to feel okay. She says it sounds hard; he tells her feeling needy scares other
people away. Jade admits that she has
read that; men like independent woman.
He says not to make it about what attracts a man; he tells Jade she
needs to make it about her feeling better about herself and what she
needs. She thanks him and asks if she
could come back to talk again sometime; he says of course and gives her his
card and direct number. She says she is
glad she came and leaves. Nicole
watches from the doorway and looks somewhat impressed; after Jade leaves Nicole
tells Eric she needs to go home.
Tripp
finds Jade in the Square and tells her that he changed the medication dose to
make it look like Kayla killed that patient last week; Jade says, “good
riddance” to Kayla.
Jen and Adrian talk about their new nemesis; they can’t
believe Jack’s step-mother wants to take the Spectator away from them. Suddenly, Angelica sits down next to them. Adrian asks what’s with this pathetic need
for revenge after all of these years; Angelica says this has nothing to do with
the past, claiming it is all about the present, and tells them she is calling
in the loan. Adrian asks if she thought
how Jack would feel about this; Angelica claims this is business and not
personal. Adrian protests that this is
because Angelica hates her for being with Justin; she says this is just how the
real world works. Adrian says there is
nothing real about her, pointing out that she used a fake name and fake
corporation to try to take the paper away; she tells Angelica she’s going
down. She says she only used the alias
to prevent any misunderstanding; she tells Jen she appreciates what she is
trying to do, then brings up Adrian’s “abortive wedding to Lucas Horton last year,”
claiming it is bad publicity. Adrian
says that was not common knowledge; Angelica claims she “heard it on the
grapevine.” Jen comes to Adrian’s
defense, saying she has been through a lot this past year; Angelica says a lot
of women go through breast cancer, but they don’t use it to string two men
along. Adrian stands up, as if to slap
Angelica; Angelica grabs her by the arm and they begin to wrestle. Jen breaks it up, asking Adrian if she’s
okay; Angelica tells them they have three weeks to figure out the loan, or the
paper is hers and leaves.
