08-28-2017 (Monday) Waiting and Watching

Justin tells Maggie and Victor that he and Adrian are back together, admitting that he is as shocked as anyone.  He tells them that he wants to go ahead and move her back into the mansion; Victor has no objection and Maggie says if it’s okay with Victor, she is fine with it.  He leaves to go tell Adrian the good news; Hattie and Bonnie argue over who’s fault it is that Angelika is dead; then they try to decide what to do.  Bonnie thinks they should call the cops; Hattie tells her not to do that.  Hattie says they could put her in a bag and take her down the elevator to her trunk, and “dump it.”  Bonnie says it sounds like taking out the trash; Hattie says, “well, sort of; she wasn’t very nice.”

Lucas starts to come around; he asks what’s going on.  Bonnie talks him into going back to sleep.  Hattie starts toward the door, to go “get the bag” and Justin knocks, calling out to Adrian; Bonnie doesn’t know what to do now.  Hattie ushers her out the door, avoiding letting Justin come in; they head to Victor’s.  Hattie undresses Angelika and puts her in bed with the still unconscious Lucas; she says that’s much easier than dragging her to the trunk.  She turns out the lights and leaves.

Valerie talks to Eli; she tells him she is angry that he arrested an innocent man.  He says they don’t know for sure that Abe is innocent; he apologizes but says he has a job to do.  Abe says he isn’t sure how much longer he can keep this up; Hope and Rafe ask him how his alliance with Eli came about.  He tells them, Eli came to him and told him that he already knew who Dario’s partner was; he tells him it involved Lani, because it was Commissioner Raines.  Abe asks how that involved Lani; Eli says he has been pressuring Lani to tell him what she knows, which is nothing right now.  He proposed the idea of finding another suspect, to get Raines to make a move; he said the other suspect had to be big enough that Dario would go for the exchange.  That’s how he became “the man,” he says.

JJ and Lani discuss the case; JJ says maybe Rafe and Hope know that the charges aren’t going to stick.  They sort of figure out that Abe is being used as a pawn just by discussing the facts, and wonder who the actual partner could be; they decide to help Dario remember what he claims to have forgotten.  Raines checks in with Myron, who tells him he doesn’t know of any evidence linking the mayor to the counterfeiting operation; Raines says, “then, get some.”  He tells him he wants something linking Abe Carver to the counterfeiting by tomorrow; Myron tells him, his lawyer told him to keep his hands clean and his mouth shut and he refuses to do it.  The commissioner tells him it is not a request; he mentions what happened to Abigail recently and says he’d hate something like that to happen to Myron.  Myron asks if that’s a threat; Raines tells him, if he were him, he’d be really careful… Myron gets the understanding that he is not trying to find the real criminal; he is trying to frame an innocent man here.  JJ and Lani catch Eli outside of the Club, spying on Commissioner Raines; JJ calls him on it and Eli can’t deny the obvious.
