07-11-2017 (Tuesday) Saving Sonny

The waiter tells the commissioner that he saw “that man” standing over Deimos’ dead body, saying, “now you got what you deserved.”  Sonny is arrested for the murder of Deimos Kariakis; the commissioner tells JJ he will prepare his release papers.  Adrian breaks down crying; Justin tells her he will do everything he can to protect their son.  She hugs him; Ann tells Lucas that she is the one who has been running the whole paper for the past two months.  She complains that she isn’t getting any credit for it; she inadvertently tells him that Sonny has confessed to Deimos’ murder.  He says he has to go; he walks in to see her hugging Justin and telling him she doesn’t know what she’d do without him.  He tells her they will always be there for their son, and each other; she notices Lucas and runs to hug him.  Paul tells Sonny he is proud of him; he says he couldn’t let JJ go down for this murder when he had information to clear him.  Paul tells him he is the best man he’s ever known; he tells him he doesn’t think he did it either and he will find out who really did.  Adrian asks her son what the argument with Deimos was about; he says, “the amulet.”

Marlena finds Kate at a table in the Square; she tells her she heart a rumor that she married Andre DeMira.  She tells Marlena that’s not a rumor; Marlena questions why she would have done that and she does her best to explain about saving the company.  Besides, she says, everytime she’s married for love, it’s turned out to be a mitigated disaster.  Maybe this is answer. The woman of Salem meet for a luncheon, Kate, Valerie, Kayla and Marlena; they begin discussing their significant others, but Kate points out that they are all successful women of their own accord and they should have things to talk about besides the men in their lives.  Kate says she just read an article about the happiest people in the world… married men; Kayla says she read that too.  Single women, she points out, come in second, then single men; married women are on the bottom of the happiness heap, she says.  They all toast and click their glasses to being single for the moment (with all their men otherwise occupied).  They all get giggly when they bring up “kids” and toast again.  Kayla tells them all it is nice to have girlfriends and they toast to friendship.

Lucas takes Adrian to the Pub for a milkshake; he says it will give her the sustenance she needs the rest of the night.  He plans to take a boat out to watch the sun set; she tells him she can’t because she needs to be home in case they call about Sonny.  He offers to stay home with her and binge-watch something, instead; Ann shows up next to them and tells Adrian that she doesn’t have to worry about a thing because she is holding down the fort.  She stupidly suggests they get Sonny’s exclusive first jail interview to help sell papers; Lucas tells her to leave.

Lani is investigating at the Martin House; she says the commissioner called off the search as soon as he zeroed in on JJ.  She insists the answer is there somewhere; she tells Hope and Rafe that she has found something.  She hands them a room key from the Salem Inn; they go to investigate there.  They look around the room, nothing spectacular; they don’t recognize the name used to reserve it (Sam Reynolds).  The clerk comes by and they ask him about the occupant; he says he wasn’t working yesterday morning when the man checked out.  Rafe and Hope if the man left yesterday morning.  They realize this wasn’t Deimos’ room wonder, who else would have been at that party, but the killer?  They decide to go dig through the dumpster.  JJ comes to see how things are going; Rafe invites him to join them.  JJ tells them he has been given strict orders from Raines not to be working on this case.  Hope tells Rafe that’s his way of saying he’s not getting in the dumpster; JJ puts on his gloves and says, no, it just means he’ll have to dig down deep and hide if someone comes along.  Rafe tells JJ he may have an idea that will help move this case along.

Sonny is booked and fingerprinted, and his personal belongings are collected.  He hugs Lucas and Paul goodbye and is taken away in handcuffs.
