Episode #10,954 Director – Albert Alarr
Lexie is in the park with Theo, who is carrying his truck. She is suggesting they go to the playground, the swings, the merry-go-round, but Theo is pointedly ignoring her, and, as they sit on the bench, he begins to have a tantrum. He is yelling, no, no, no, refusing to look at her, as Chelsea arrives. Theo jumps off the bench, running over to hug Chelsea, tho still having the tantrum. Chelsea begins to sing “The Farmer In the Dell”, which calms Theo down, and they go to sit with Lexie. Chelsea talks of how music seems to reach kids with autism, Lexie read that, too, but just never has thought to apply it. They talk a bit, Lexie thanks Chelsea, who suggests she take Theo to the playground, he always cheers her up, Lexie can go with them, or maybe over to the Pub, have a coffee, relax a bit. Lexie decides to take her up on the offer, says good-bye and leaves.
At the Pub, she runs into Kayla, who is there with baby Joe. Lexie tells about feeling such a failure, tho she knows intellectually that Theo knows she loves him, her heart breaks when he turns away from her. Kayla gives her a big pep talk about being a great mother, then tells some invented story about Stephanie as a baby being so terribly colicky, crying constantly, and the only person able to calm her down was her mother. She goes on about feeling such a failure, but then realizes that her baby could feel the love, and knew they would be o.k.
Back at the park, Chelsea & Theo return from the playground to await Lexie, when Max strolls by. Theo sits & plays with his truck, while Max & Chelsea talk about Nick. Max tells her of the ring Melanie received from Nick, and that confirms their feelings about the situation, how both feel he is going to be hurt again, even worse, as Chelsea comments, than she hurt him.
Nick is on the phone to his doctor’s office, trying for a refill on his pills, but the nurse refuses. He is rather angry, and who walks in but Aunt Maggie. She returned from her convention last night, Mickey is in NY on business, & she is surprised that Melanie is still there at the house, thought it was only to be for a day or two. Melanie eavesdrops as Maggie is telling Nick that this arrangement cannot continue, while Nick goes on about Melanie being such a good person, no money, no where to go, father killed, etc. Melanie decides to barge in, thanking Maggie for letting her stay there, yada, yada. Nick leaves for an errand, Maggie confronts Melanie, warning her not to hurt Nick, and relating how he has such a huge heart, always helping those in need, which leads her to telling Melanie all about Willow, and that she died. Melanie assures Maggie that she & Nick are just friends, no hanky panky in spite of the friendship ring Nick gave her for her birthday. She leaves.
Melanie is in the park, when Max comes up, short conversation, but Max notes her new “bling”. Melanie assures him it is just a friendship ring, but Max retorts that it is more than friendship with Nick, who has told Max he is in love with Melanie. She seems surprised, Max thinks she has known this, she just thought he had a mild crush. Max warns her about hurting Nick.
Meanwhile, Nick has gone to the hospital, runs into his doctor, asks for refill of pills. Doc says no, not unless I examine you again. Nick says you did just last week, complains about the pain in his shoulder getting unbearable. A nurse comes for the doc, who is needed in trauma, so he writes Nick a prescription for just half the pills, hurries off. Now Nick runs into Kayla, who comments they have not seen much of him, even Stephanie says he has sort of withdrawn from them all since Melanie came to town. Nick hems and haws, Kayla spots the prescription, Nick backpeddles, saying the pain from his “war wound” pointing to his shoulder comes and goes, so he did not get much this time, he only takes them now and then, as he understands they could be addictive. Kayla replies “very, and very quickly, too”. He leaves.
Nick arrives home, Maggie is at the laptop, but soon off to work. She gets a call, leaves the room, Nick takes out his pills, swallowing a few, she returns as he is trying to hide the pills, but drops them. She picks up the bottle, asks what he is doing with these. He tries to schmooze her that he just got them recently, but she knows his wound was months ago, a lightbulb goes off as she realizes he was not drunk when DUI, but high on the pills. Nick tries to deny, Maggie knows something about addiction, being a recovering alcoholic, & Nick blows up at her, doesn’t want to hear her speeches, heard it all before. Maggie”s face reflects how hurtful his words are. She quietly tells him he has never spoken to her like that before, gives him the bottle. He half-heartedly apologizes, she says she has to go to work, they will talk of this later. She goes out the door, he says, no Aunt Maggie, we won’t talk of this later, cuz Melanie and I are leaving town, (he opens the laptop). And the she-devil walks in, hearing this, asking where. He is suggesting Green Mountain Lodge, she doesn’t think it a good idea, he talks of fireplaces and hot tubs, Nope, replies Melanie. Nick storms out the door, Melanie comments how she just pushed away her only friend. (And if that girl doesn’t stop constantly touching her forehead, I am going to scream!)
Marlena is looking over some notes in her apartment, when there is a knock at the door. She opens to find John, who has come with good news. He has hired some P.I.s to find whoever killed the mayor, & took a shot at Samantha. He is confident they will do the job, and then she can see Sami again. They are to meet them at her apt. Marlena is surprised, greatful, and another knock at the door. John says they are here, opens the door to a strange man. Before either can say a word, Marlena shrieks with surprise, comes flying across the room to hug the man at the door…….”Brady”! It is soooo good to see you. Brady hugs back, John stands like a bump on a log. Marlena tells him his son is home, no reply. Brady says he went to John’s hotel, but he was out, Brady had no idea he was here when Marlena was his next stop. John is clearly uncomfortable, decides to leave, puts on his jacket, does say welcome home to Brady and leaves. Marlena apologizes, but Brady understands. He talks of how he was working on a farm outside Vienna for 6 months, and so now he is thru with his rehab, and wanted to come home and try to make amends to all his friends and family. They talk of John, Brady understands, Marlena invites Brady to stay with her, insists. John returns, entering the apt, beginning to unzip his jacket, spots Brady, zips it back up with a “oh, you’re still here”. He tells Marlena that his detectives are now on the case, and takes off again. Marlena tells Brady how his father is ill, explaining about his episodes, and how he doesn’t trust doctors. Brady understands that this is all due to being Stefano’s lab rat, as Marlena assures him that some day, John will look into Brady’s eyes, and see himself reflected there.
Melanie is in the kitchen, a cell phone rings. It is Nick’s. She is hesitant, but decides to answer it, and Maggie is on the other end. Melanie explains Nick went for a walk, Maggie says it is important that Nick call her as soon as he returns, ASAP. Melanie promises to give him the message, will write it down right now. She goes to the desk (touching her forehead AGAIN, LOL), rummages for some paper, finds a stationery box, pulls out a sheet. Uh, oh, flashback to seeing that note shoved under her door. She grabs her purse, pulls out the crumpled note, compares the paper. Yep, exactly the same! Lightbulb moment as she murmurs….”Nick”. (Another forehead touch, lol)
