Monday, March 12, 2018 (S53E118): Life Adjustments


Kayla and Steve take a walk; he can tell something is on her mind.  She says she spoke to an occupational therapist today… so they can make some “arrangements.”  She is surprised by how amiable Steve is to the idea; he says he has actually been doing some research on his own, about how to make the house safer for him and he has a handyman coming in.  He tells Kayla, if all he loses is his eyesight, he is still a lucky man – because he still has her.  He says they still have plenty of adventure in front of them; she just might have to lead the way this time.  She says she can do that.

John goes to see Will; he says he just wants to make sure that they are “okay.”  Will laughs and says, “you mean after you held me at gunpoint and knocked me out in the mausoleum?”  John says, “yeah, that.”  Will says they are good; not to worry.  Victor shows up at Doug’s again; he tells Maggie he isn’t leaving until she goes with him.  She reminds him that she isn’t coming home until he tells Eve the truth; Victor says, “I already did.”  Brady is stunned by Eve’s declaration; he asks why. she says that  She explains that she got a phone call, while she was upstairs getting ready… from Victor.  He told her that Brady was only marrying her because he asked him to, as a plot to get Basic Black back.

She says the look on Brady’s face tells her it’s true; Paul and Justin say they are going to leave, but Eve tells them not to.  Sonny says this isn’t his business; she says, “actually it is.”  She tells him that Victor promised Brady, if he did this, he could have the position of CEO back.  Brady tells Eve that was true, in the beginning; he says he really did fall in love with her.  Eve questions why he didn’t tell her the truth then, instead of her having to hear it “from that old man.” She pours herself a drink, asking if he wants one; he says no.  She says she knew, right from the start, that he was playing her, but she wanted to believe it was real; he says it is real.  He says, “I love you… please give me a chance to make this right.”  He pleads his case, telling her he thought he could “have it all.”  He wanted to make her a part of this family, bring Basic Black back to Titan and, together, they could bring Victor down.  She calls him “a deceitful piece of garbage.”

Paul goes to see Will and tells him what just went down; he says, “that’s cold” and says he thought Brady was a good buy.  Paul says, “he is” but says Victor is just really good at manipulating people.  The conversation turns to them when Will asks who else was at the ceremony; Paul says things are really through with him and Sonny.  Will moves to sit on the bed next to Paul and kisses him; they start making out, and a knock comes on the door.  It’s Sonny.  Will tells him Maggie took Ariana for the night, but Sonny is pissed anyway; he tells them both they can do what they want, because he and Paul are through.   Will laughs after he leaves, that “that was a buzzkill” and asks Paul if they can do something tomorrow.

Brady and Eve sit down on the couch and talk some more.  She pours another drink; he tells her that he wants to move forward with her, but she says they aren’t moving forward, and he’s not taking her “damn company from” her… in fact, she says, “you’re fired.”  He says it doesn’t have to be this way; she says but it’s the way it is.  She says it breaks her heart that she knows there is a human being inside of him somewhere and questions what happened to him; he says he’s right there.  But she says, as much as she wanted to save him from Victor, she realized she has to save herself from him.  He says he isn’t walking away.  He reminds her of how many times he has been hurt by women, but tells her a leap of faith is worth it; she tells him congratulations for not being the one who was hurt in a relationship and leaves the room.

As Steve and Kayla stroll through the Square, Steve trips and falls over the garbage can; John sees and offers to help, but Kayla tells him to get away.  She tells John this is all his fault; Steve defends John, but John says, “she is right.”  He leaves, and Steve continues to plead with Kayla to forgive John; he says he saved his life.  But she says she is angry because he is such a good and decent man and doesn’t deserve this.  Justin shows up at Doug’s Place and asks Victor how he could tell Eve everything like that; Maggie steps up and says he did it because she asked him to.  He tells them both it broke Brady’s heart.  Eve packs her bags and heads for the door; Brady steps in front of her and says he isn’t letting her leave.
