10-16-2017 (Monday) One Shot, Two Shots, Three Shots... Four

Brady tells Nicole to answer her phone; he dares her to pick it up and tell Eric that she isn’t coming back… or he will call the police, he tells her.  She answers and tells Eric that she just has a slight complication and will be home soon, adding, “I love you.”  Brady says she used to use that same tone one him; she says telling Eric she loves him isn’t an act.  She says she just wants to tell him in person; he applauds the idea, saying that’s so much better to break his heart face to face.  She asks Brady if he would really tear Holly’s life apart like that, calling her an innocent bystander in all this; he says she has destroyed his life, so he is more than happy to destroy hers.  She asks how he could do that to Holly, saying that’s what Deimos did; Brady acknowledges Deimos was a monster and says, “maybe you bring out the monster in men.”  She cries, saying the biggest lie was telling herself he was a man of compassion; she tells him he is more a monster than any man she’s ever known.  She sobs, “Damn you Brady” as she walks out the door.  Brady picks up a picture of her, kisses it and then stomps on it.

John and Paul meet at the graveyard; Sammi’s voice beams, “don’t you dare.”  John turns to see Will’s mother standing there, asking what he and his son think they are doing.  They try to explain their reasons for attempting to dig up Will’s grave on their own; John suggests she just call and give her permission for the body to be exhumed, insisting that everybody has to know.  She says okay; they have convinced her… she picks up the phone.  She calls Rafe to “report a grave robbery.”

Hope tells Rafe that she reinstated JJ already; he implies that people may think she is playing favorites because he’s her cousin.  She asks what he would have done and he says he would have made sure everyone knew he was serious by making an example of JJ, sticking to the suspension, etc.  But, he tells her, “you are the commissioner.”  She says they are short-handed and she didn’t know what else to do, so she is standing by her decision.  She thanks him for his input and says she always wants him to be honest with her, especially when he disagrees; they kiss.  She tells him she needs to talk to him about his new partner too; he says he thought he would just fly solo for a while.  She says, actually, she has the perfect guy in mind; she mentions Eli Grant and Rafe says, “no way.”  He tells her he already made it clear that he wouldn’t partner up with Eli.  Rafe receives Sammi’s call; he goes to the graveyard and asks her to just let Paul and John go.  She makes a scene but then agrees; he hugs her and says it’s nice to see she hasn’t changed.

Eli and Gabi are having dinner together; he gets a phone call.  When he gets back, he finds her gone.  Chloe tells Eli that she paid the bill and left; Gabi goes to the police station to talk to Hope.  She suggests that Hope hire Eli to replace her; Hope says she already thought about it…Eli follows Gabi to the station.  Rafe comes back and sees everyone there; he thinks Hope already hired him and starts to get angry.  Hope says no one has been hired yet; Gabi tells Rafe he needs to come talk to her right now.  She talks him into accepting Eli as his partner; he comes out and tells Eli, only since two people he loves and respects tell him he is the right man for the job, he will accept him, but says he’s gone if he pulls another stunt like he did with his sister and Raines.  Eli nods.Lucas walks in to see Brady downing another shot of brandy; he says, “well, look at you” and asks if he could get one of those.  Brady glares at him, then pours him a glass.  Lucas asks what happened, and guesses “Nicole again.”  Brady chuckles; Lucas assumes it has to do with Eric, which Brady confirms.  Brady says, not only was he right about them, but, he “won.”  He says he cut their little happily ever after right down.

Lucas asks Brady if he would hire him; he says he’ll give him some insider information on his mother, calling her the “Countess Dubb.”  He says he can’t make that call until Victor puts him back in charge, apologizing, and saying he feels bad about it.  They share another shot or two, and Brady says he will tell Sonny he stopped by; Lucas gets the hint and asks if he can take a bottle with him.  Brady says sure, and Lucas (already drunk) tells Brady he is a great guy and says they should hang out sometime, then stumbles out the door.  He finds Sammi at the graveyard; he says, “first Will came back to give me grief, and now you’re here to give me hell.”
