Deimos is on the bed now, fully
clothed, talking to Nicole while she sleeps; he tells her to rest, saying he
will take care of everything. He asks
Brady to tell her that he had to go out for a while. Deimos meets with the doctor at the clinic and hands him a check;
the doctor says it is very generous.
Deimos tells him he needs some information now; the doctor asks if the
check is a bribe – Deimos simply nods his head. He says he merely wants to question him about the nature of his
work; the doctor says his next patient is here. Deimos holds the door for him and then unlocks it behind
him. Deimos sneaks back in while the
doctor is with his patient, of course, and calls Brady; he gets on the doctor’s
computer. Chloe was there with Daniel
and Nicole in December; Daniel died New Year’s Eve; in May, Chloe came back for
an appointment in May. The doctor comes
back; he gets off the computer and away from the desk, says he just left his
keys in the office and came back for them.
The doctor wonders why the door wasn’t locked. Deimos tells him to be sure to cash that check and leaves. He tells Brady that he is going to do
whatever it takes to make sure that Nicole gets her baby.
The nurse is trying to book a follow-up
appointment for Adrian as she is being discharged from the hospital; she is
being rather testy with the nurse and says she will call her when she knows her
schedule. Justin asks Adrian how her
appointment went; Adrian tells him she doesn’t want to discuss it, she just
needs a little space. Kayla then asks;
she plainly tells them she has found out she is Stage 2 and has an aggressive
form due to her genetic tendency and the doctor is recommending a double
mastectomy AND chemo. That’s the 411,
she says. Justin tries to put his arms
around her and she backs away; she says it’s okay… she could get a
reconstruction and “end up with the hooters of a twenty-year old.”
Joey and Jade are sitting at a table in the
diner; she tells him stress makes the vomiting worse (yeah, right) so she’s
hoping they can get along today. He
mentions just being so hung up on the fact that she didn’t tell him she went
off the pill, again saying it appears she got pregnant on purpose. She grabs her mouth and tells him now he got
her upset, she’s going to get sick again (talk about dramatic); he feels
bad about making her feel sicker…but then gets angry again when she comes back
complaining. They exchange accusations
and she tells him, fine then, she’ll raise her baby on her own. That’s funny. Jade bends over suddenly as she stands up, and says it
hurts, screaming, “ow, ow.” Kayla meets
them at the hospital. She tells Jade to
relax, and of course Jade gets sarcastic; Joey goes to wait outside the room
and looks through a window as Kayla prepares to examine Jade. Steve walks up and puts his hand on Joey’s
shoulder; they talk. He tells his
parents that Jade had likely gotten pregnant on purpose; he thinks his telling
Jade this morning that he would raise the baby if she couldn’t do it caused all
this pain. They do a sonogram and
everybody bonds over the little speck on the screen and the heartbeat. Joey tells her he doesn’t have any regrets
about the baby now.
Nicole is going out
for a run; Brady says he wants to join her.
They are laughing after a good jog, as they stop in the square; Kate
comes upon them and starts saying shit about Teresa..says everyone will be happier now that she's gone. Nicole tells her to stop and Kate goes away; Brady thanks her and
says he just didn’t want to engage in that.
He just wants to move forward.
He notices the ring missing and asks about it; she kind of tells him she
just wants to move forward too. Brady
tells her to do whatever makes her happy.
Chloe answers Nicole’s message with a text; she says maybe they should
talk.
Adrian talks with Justin about her fear of having the
surgery; she says she considered having a preventative mastectomy back when she
found out about the gene mutation, but should couldn’t make the call even
then. She’s not sure she’s going to
have the surgery and asks him to give her time, alone, to think. He leaves.
She texts Kate; Kate shows up.
Adrian thanks her for coming to the hospital yesterday – and for just
holding her hand – because that’s all she needed. Now she needs a “jump start.”
She can’t bring herself to make that call; Kate picks up her phone and
dials the number. She tells the
receptionist she is Adrian’s personal assistant and asks her to hold on; she
hands the phone to Adrian. Hesitantly,
Adrian makes the appointment; she smiles and shakes her head. She hangs up and says that wasn’t hard at
all; Kate tells her she’s not made of stone, and doesn’t have to be. She hugs her and starts to sob.
