09-15-2017 (Friday) Godforsaken Love

Chad n Abby talk; they agree to “do it, this time, forever.”  He laughs about her being the one to broker a cease fire between Kate and Andre, bringing peace to the DeMiras.  Sonny and Paul see Gabi and tell her about the decision to merge their wedding with Chad and Abigail’s; she isn’t sure how she feels about that.  She says, regardless, Arianna will be there; she’ll be thrilled to be their flower girl, she says.

Lucas comes over to his mom’s; he heads straight to the decanter.  Just one little drink, to take the edge off, he tells himself.  Kate clears her throat; he turns around.  He says he is there to sign the papers, so they can get on with this; she tells him she doesn’t need his signature anymore, because she is firing him.  She asks how Will would feel to see him drinking like this; he’s gets very angry, telling her that is off limits.  He says any one with a conscience would know speaking of someone’s dead son in any way other than a loving and respectful manner is off limits; he thanks her sarcastically and says now he really does need a drink.

"Adrian" jumps up and asks him not to be angry, admitting that she tricked the guard to get in there.  She says she really wanted that scoop, but says Hattie isn’t being very cooperative.  She starts to leave.  Hattie stops “Adrian” and Justin from leaving by telling them she will give Adrian that scoop after all.  She’ll tell her /them the name of the person she was working with.  She names Angelika; Justin is stunned.  He asks why; she tells him she was always jealous that he chose Adrian over her all those years ago.  “Adrian” acts surprised; then she tells Justin she needs to speak to Hattie woman to woman, claiming she needs closure and she’s not going to get it with Angelika.  He agrees to leave them alone and Bonnie runs to hug Hattie; she tells her she’s the best.  She says she knows, then says she needs a favor from “Adrian.”  “Adrian” comes out and tells Lucas that she wants him to represent Hattie after all, calling her a lost soul.  She runs into Kate in the Square, who tells her she has become callous and mean-spirited; she says she isn’t the woman who became her friend.  “Adrian” tells Kate she is the cruel one after Kate tells her she fired Lucas today; Kate says, if anything happens to Lucas, she’ll blame her.

John and Marlena meet for lunch; he asks her how Eric is.  She also says she thinks she knows who Hattie’s partner was; Adrian, she says.  John doesn’t understand; she tells him about her talk w Eric and “Adrian” being in Hattie’s room that night.  They both wonder why Adrian would work with Hattie; I guess Marlena hasn’t totally figured it out yet.  “Adrian” walks into Kelly’s and tries to immediately walk back out, when she sees John and Marlena; Marlena sees her and calls her back.  She invites her to sit down with them and says she wants to know a little about Hattie Adams; “Adrian” says she can tell them quite a bit now.

As Gabi walks through the Square, showing Arianna how to throw the flower pedals up into the air, Justin appears; he has a bottle (in a brown paper bag) in his hands.  Arianna runs over and hugs him; Gabi can tell immediately that he has been drinking.  She calls Ari away and tells Lucas he can’t see her when he’s drinking like this.  He denies being drunk, saying, “I’m okay.”  Gabi says, “no you’re not.”  She tells him to go home and rest; he yells at her saying she can’t tell him what to do.  Arianna gets upset with her mom for saying she can’t see her grandpa right now; Eli happens upon them and offers to buy Arianna ice cream.  He offers to go to the double-wedding with Gabi, if she decides to go; she says she might take him up on that offer.

Chad and Abigail, Sonny and Paul are all at the chapel, imagining their wedding.  Lucas comes in, even more drunk than in the Square, and starts yelling and getting ugly with Sonny over being able to see Adrianna.  Sonny says he won’t see her until he is sober again; Lucas reminds him that she is Will’s daughter, not his, and says he makes him sick.  Paul stands up for Sonny and Justin tells him to shut up, accusing him of being the man who destroyed his son’s marriage.  He starts screaming at all of them, telling them fifty-percent of all marriages end in divorce, which pretty much guarantees that one of these two marriages are going to crash and burn.  They all look at each other; Chad tells Abigail, Lucas doesn’t know what he’s saying.  They take his keys and the bottle; Abby says she is going to call her mom.  Lucas says he is going to stay there to pray; he pulls his flask out of his back pocket and toasts “to godforsaken love.”
