08-17-2017 (Thursday) Broken Heart, Bloody Mary

Lucas wakes up to find Adrian next to him.  He tells her she looks like a dream; she laughs, hugs him  and disappears.  He sits up and sees Chloe… he says, ”oh no, it really is a nightmare.”  He realizes everything really happened; Adrian broke up with him.  He thanks Chloe for helping him; she asks about Brady – was he really there, drinking with him?  Lucas tries to lie about it; he fumbles his words and says he must have been confused.  Ultimately, though, he admits that he did say that.  Chloe tells Lucas she is sorry about Adrian breaking up with him; he thanks her for her compassion.  He says Adrian was everything to him… his lifeline, so all he feels is sadness and grief now.  Chloe tries to make Lucas feel better by takinng him to lunch, and reminding him how many other people care about him and would do anything for him; she laughs about their past, but tells him if he needs anything he can call.  She leaves him at a table in the Square.  “Adrian” happens by, trying to cover her face with her purse; Lucas calls to her.  She seems to feel bad, noting how bad he looks, and seeing aspirin, assumes he is nursing a hangover; he begs her to tell him it isn’t too late to fix this.  She says she can’t, saying it wouldn’t be fair to him; she says she can’t do this and gets up and leaves.  Lucas orders a Bloody Mary and tells the waitress to “keep them coming.”

Adrian is reading a magazine; a woman takes it away, calling her Bonnie… she insists she isn’t Bonnie; and asks, “why won’t anyone believe me?”  She tries to convince the guard; he laughs at her – he says, “if there was a switch, you must have been there, how’d it happen?”  She racks her brain to remember; she recalls her meeting with Angelika, realizes she must have spiked her latte, and switched her with Bonnie.  She desperately starts pleading with him to help her prove this, but her screaming only gets her in trouble; the guard hauls her off to solitary confinement.  Bonnie orders room service and laughs about Abe’s arrest.  Hattie comes to pick her up; asking why she isn’t ready yet.  Bonnie asks Hattie how she has much energy after partying so hard last night.  Hattie brags about how fit she is and says she has to get going; she’s planning a meeting with Roman. Bonnie takes notes while Angelika tells her how to break Justin’s heart so she can swoop in and pick up the pieces; she reminds her what she has to gain by then seducing Victor and “appropriating his entire fortune.”

“Marlena” (Hattie) heads to Brady’s Pub; Roman is surprised to see her and inquires about her breaking up with John.  She scoffs and says she should have done it sooner; she says it’s for the best.  He asks how she can suddenly feel this way; she says it’s not sudden.  He reminds her they have a LONG history together and insists this isn’t right; she tells him, maybe their relationship was doomed from the start because of him taking over Roman’s life.  Her ending up falling in love with John, she says, may have been all wrong; she tells Roman maybe she shouldn’t have let him go.  He looks at her with astonishment.  She goes on to talk about what a great life they had together, and how they raised those three kids (almost messing up, forgetting that Sammi and Eric were twins).

Victor gloats over the news as well; Brady is sober, home from his overnight stay at a facility.  Victor tells him no one here suspects a thing, not even Maggie; he swears it won’t happen again.  He still insists Eric must be the one who killed Deimos.  Victor suggests he go to a meeting; Brady tells him he knows where one is.  He thanks his grandpa and says he’ll work hard to regain his trust; Victor damns Chloe, noting she was the one who ‘started’ his addiction.  Brady tells Victor he can’t blame his addiction on anyone else; he accepts responsibility, he says he is going to a meeting and then going to the police station to get Sonny out; he starts to leave.  Chloe is at the door; she asks if they can talk in private.  Brady tells her he has no secrets from his grandfather; she tells him Lucas told her he was drinking with him last night.  Victor quickly speaks up and says Brady was there, working with him all night; Brady goes along with the story.  Eric is looking at Nicole’s pictures.  Nicole appears in his doorway; Eric looks uncomfortable.  He tells Nicole about his room being trashed.  After they talk, Nicole realizes she has to find Brady “before this gets out of hand” (let’s hope it’s not too late).  She tells Eric she’ll do her service hours tomorrow; he says okay and she leaves.  Brady puts the amulet in his pocket and resolves to go to the police station to tell them Eric is the one who had it.  When Nicole gets home, Brady is walking out the door; she asks where he is going and he tells her to “go ask Eric.”
