08-24-2017 (Thursday) Love Restrained

Sonny and Chad ask each other, at the exact same time, if they will be each other’s Best Man.  They both congratulate each other, saying they are lucky men.  Jen talks to her mom about Thomas, then marrying Chad again; her mom is lost in thought.  Abby asks if she’s thinking about Lucas; Jen says she can’t believe his spirit has been broken.  They both say her breaking up with Lucas doesn’t sound like the Adrian they know and love.  Abigail says she feels so bad for her Uncle Lucas, but she can’t really get mad at her Aunt Adrian for being indecisive.  Chad can hardly believe it when Sonny tells him that his parents got back together.Lucas tells “Adrian” that he has already lost everything else; he says, he can’t lose her too.  She looks sincerely sorry; Angelika tries to call, then complains about Bonnie not answering her phone.  “Marlena” find Angelika in the park; Angelika remarks she is another one who doesn’t answer her phone.  She asks if she was able to correct the problem at Bayview; Hattie tells her there was a little snag.

She says John Black followed her there and got a peek at Marlena; Marlena wakes up, now in her straight jacket again.  She remembers John being there, and is sure it wasn’t a dream; she wonders what happened to John.  Lucas asks why she didn’t just tell him the truth in the first place; she says, “truth be told,” breaking his heart almost broke hers.  He clumsily turns and knocks a binder off the desk; it has his picture inside.  He picks it up and asks her what this is; she says she was just looking at some old pictures (he’s so drunk, he buys it).  He says he knew she still loved him and he kisses her; she pulls away at first, but then says, “oh what the hell” and kisses him back.  In bed, Lucas realizes that “something is different” he tells her she is different and says, “you aren’t Adrian.”  Yet when she asks, “what’s in a name?” he continues kissing her and then passes out.  Angelika asks what she means, "John saw Marlenna"; Hattie says not to worry about it, saying she took care of it.  She tells Angelika she locked him up with Marlena.  Angelika says this isn’t going to end well for them, figuring John will tell the doctors who he is and they will be found out; Hattie smiles and says, “let’s see.” 

Marlena calls out to John, asking if he can hear her; he answers, through the vent.  He is in a cell behind her, also in a straight jacket.  He says, “I’m here.”  Hattie and Angelika go to see Bonnie; they are shocked to see Lucas passed out, naked in her bed.  She smiles, a guilty smile.

Nicole asks Eric what he is working on; he holds his computer close to prevent her from seeing the letter he is writing to her.  He says it’s nothing, just a draft of something he’s not sure is very good; she offers to read it, but he says maybe after he works on it some more.  She tells him the letters he wrote her from prison were so beautiful, she wishes she would have read them sooner; things might have been different, she says.  He asks how; she says she may not have had so much hatred in her heart, and maybe she would never have given it to a man like Deimos.  She says she is sorry she didn’t forgive him sooner; he touches her arm and tells her it’s alright.  Standing face to face, she talks about their complicated history and says she is glad they could move forward as friends; Eric says there is something he needs to tell her.  She goes on and on about Brady suspecting them having an affair and he certain he is now that they didn’t; she says he went crazy looking for evidence though.  Eric asks what he thought he was going to find; she flashes back to her recollection of killing Deimos and describing it to Brady.  She doesn’t tell Eric; she asks if anything was missing from his apartment after Brady tore through it.  He says no.

He notices how nervous she is and asks her what’s wrong?  She says she can’t lie to him; he (thinking she is going to confess her love) says he can’t lie to her either.  The door opens; Jen apologizes for interrupting.  Nicole says she has to go anyway, claiming she has an appointment, and tells Eric she’ll make up her hours tomorrow.  Brady takes another drink after Nicole heads to ‘work.’  Victor walks in the room; he asks if Brady has turned to amulet over to the police and Brady says he did not; Victor asks why the hell not.  He tells him that he confronted Nicole about her suspicions and it turned out to be nothing; he doesn’t want to turn Eric into the police now.  Victor scoffs at his believing Nicole; Brady tells him he loves her and trusts her, and Victor calls him an idiot.  He says just because Eric and Nicole didn’t “do the deed” it doesn’t mean Eric isn’t guilty of killing Deimos; Brady says Eric didn’t kill Deimos.  Victor asks how he knows that and who he is protecting; he realizes, it is Nicole.  He gets Brady to admit it.  Brady explains everything Deimos had done to Nicole; Victor tells him he isn’t her defense attorney.  Brady asks his grandfather to promise him right here and now that he won’t tell anybody anything; he says he’ll take the fall for her if he has to.  Victor agrees not to tell; but he says he can’t get rid of the amulet then – because as long as he has it, she doesn’t go to prison.  He says she better realize that Brady is responsible for her freedom.
