Carly comes home for the first time since being sent away. Mike is there and takes a moment but recognizes her. He goes outside to get his checker set. Sonny is worried about him. They end up hearing a crash and run outside to get him. They take him to GH where he has cut his head. Stella is there and offers to help them. Stella takes Mike to an exam room where they have to get him stiches. Stella tells Sonny and Carly it might be time to look into care facilities. Jordan and Curtis meet up at the Metro Court. They make love and then Curtis goes to take a shower. Jordan looks at Curtis' phone that is going off. There is a missed call from Chandra. Jordan confronts him and says that it was Stella who got in contact with her and he was trying to ignore her calls. Jordan confronts Stella and Stella is sorry. In court, Franco tries to get Alexis to listen to him before the trial. Alexis tells him to go sit down. The trial starts and Alexis successfully makes her points. Scott on the other hand continues to pass up the chance to cross examine. David gets upset at him. David demands that he use the picture against Kiki. Scott does so but Alexis is able to turn the tables. Franco continues to text Alexis. Ava then texts Franco asking what is wrong. Franco who was trying to text Alexis, accidentally responds to Ava that Griffin and Kiki slept together while Griffin takes the stand.
Carly: [ Sighs ] I've missed that afternoon light. The gardens are in bloom, right? [ Sniffs ] And someone's been smoking cigars in the house. You know that's a no-no. Sonny: [ Chuckles ] You're not mad at me, are you? Carly: [ Voice breaking ] I've never smelled anything more wonderful in my whole life.[ Sniffles ] [ Birds chirping ] [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: Hey, how you doing? Francesca: Feel like I'm gonna throw up. Elizabeth: Oh, don't be nervous. Just tell the truth. And don't even look at him. Unless you wanna nail him with a glare. Ava: Excuse me. I..I'm sorry. Excuse me. Elizabeth, can I have a word with you? Elizabeth: Of course. Ava: Thanks Elizabeth: What's going on? Ava: Um... well, it's Franco. He's looking even more intense than usual. Do you have any idea what that's about? [SCENE_BREAK] Franco: You should listen to me. What I'm trying to do is share vital information. Alexis: too late! Franco: Too ..what does that mean, it's too late? [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: You know how keyed-up Franco gets. I'm sure he's just checking in with Alexis to make sure she's fully prepared. Ava: O-okay, well, I sympathize, but it does seem counter productive to annoy Kiki's attorney ten minutes before the trial starts. Alexis: Not now! Court is about to start. Franco: Yes, which is exactly why I need to talk to you... Alexis: I said... Franco: while we have the chance. Alexis: I will talk to you about it later, all right? Franco: Alexis... Alexis: I have a case to present. Franco: Yes, a case that you're gonna lose... Kiki will lose. Alexis, you need to listen to me right now! [SCENE_BREAK] Curtis: Right.. I haven't had a chance to call Lucy. Jordan: Well, did Mrs. Corinthos get released? Curtis: I'll reschedule... Jordan: does Diane know? Curtis: And we can look at office spaces next week. All right? Jordan: Yeah, sure. Whatever... anything she needs. Curtis: Yeah, I gotta go. Jordan: Okay. What about Liesl Obrecht? Any word on her? Keep me posted. All right. Keep me posted. What.. uh, why did you want to meet me here? Are you working a case at the Metro Court? Curtis: Yeah, well, uh, you know we've both been so busy lately that I thought we would, uh, you know... reconnect. Jordan: [ Chuckles ] I mean, I'm working like I'm in the middle of three, four cases. Curtis: Oh, three or four? Jordan: Wrapping up right now. Curtis: Oh. Mm-hmm. Jordan: You know...I'm not..I really don't have the time. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: What is it that is so important that you felt you needed to interrupt me one second before my trial starts? Speak! And it better be good! [SCENE_BREAK] Franco: When it comes to questioning witnesses, there's a potential minefield. There's one question that you cannot ask him... Alexis: what? Franco: And one witness that you absolutely must not -- Alexis: Will you just get to the point? please! Judge: All rise! Alexis: You can't be here, go sit down! Sit down! [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Feeling a lot better? Carly: So much better. Although, last night in lockup was like a picnic compared to everything that happened before. It's incredible how easy something seems when you know you're gonna be released. Sonny: [ Laughing ] I'm sorry it took so long to put Nelle away. Carly: There's no one to blame here -- Sonny: No, I know. Carly: But Nelle, okay? She was a full-out psycho. She was! If anything, it's on me. I didn't see it coming. I... Sonny: None of us did. Carly: [ Sighs ] And now Michael's grieving for his baby. I know the doctors said that the accident didn't cause the baby's death. But I don't care. I blame Nelle. She was so spiteful, Sonny, and it's awful. Sonny: Okay, can we just stop talking about Nelle and not give her any more time and energy? Carly: You're right. We have so much better things to focus on. Sonny: Right. Carly: Yeah, well, starting with Jason. Is Diane gonna get him released? Sonny: She's working on it. Carly: It was actually kind of fun having him in lockup, you know? It was! The cops put our cells next to each other, and we just talked all night long. Sonny: You talked? Mike: I hadn't finished moving! My finger was still on the on the piece! I didn't move my finger! Sonny: Dad, dad! Look who's home. Carly: Hey, Mike. I missed you. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: The defendant, Dr. David Bensch, is a respected physician. Impeccable credentials, he has. I mean, no one here anywhere can question his expertise and his commitment, his compassion for his patients. Dr. Bensch is also a sexual predator. See, you can be a respected physician and a sexual predator. The two are not mutually exclusive. And we're gonna prove that. My client was a rising medical student who looked up to Dr. Bensch. She looked up to Dr. Bensch as her mentor, as a role model. And Dr. Bensch betrayed that trust when he attempted to coerce her into a sexual relationship. Now, Judge Pierce is going to explain to you that the burden of proof in cases like these is exacting. So, I must prove that Dr. Bensch's inexcusable, inappropriate behavior was severe and pervasive. And we're gonna do that. I feel fully confident that once you hear what transpired between my client and that man, you will find for the plaintiff. Thank you. Judge: Mr. Baldwin. Scott: Miss Davis, wonderful storyteller, but we are in this courtroom today to establish the truth. The truth is that my client, Dr. David Bensch, is innocent. David: That's it? Alexis does a whole aria, and that's all you have to say? Scott: Let her spin her web. Catch her in it. David: You better! Judge: Miss Davis, you may call your first witness. Alexis: Yes, Your Honor. I'd like to call Elizabeth Webber to the stand. Elizabeth: [ Sighs ] Wish me luck. Franco: Good luck. [SCENE_BREAK] Mike: You're off the clock, okay? I want to spend some time with my daughter- in-law. Go on. Hello, gorgeous. Carly: Hello. Mike: [ Laughing ] It's so good to see you. Carly: Hey, thank you. Mike: You can go ahead. We got it. Sonny: We got it. Mike: No cheating next time. Carly: [ Laughter ] You're looking good, Mike. Mike: Oh, well...well, I- I can't complain. Uh, tell me, uh, sweetheart, where you been keeping yourself? [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: Kiki was a nurse's aide, and then moved on to become a medical school student. How does that happen? Elizabeth: Dr. Bensch had observed her one day last year during work in the ER. And after that, he sought her out. He told her that she should think about becoming a doctor, and he told her about our pre-med advanced placement program. He was her champion. Alexis: Let's fast forward a bit to the hospital's coveted shadow program. Uh, Kiki was asked to be a participant of that program, correct? Elizabeth: She was! She was to go on rotation with select doctors and shadow them, which means she basically learns first hand from their experience. And Dr. Bensch was Kiki's first assigned doctor. Alexis: And being selected to be a participant in that program is a big deal, right? Elizabeth: It should be. But after her first rotation with Dr. Bensch, uh, after it ended, I found her crying in the supply closet. Alexis: Did she tell you why she was upset? Elizabeth: She told me Dr. Bensch had given her a negative evaluation, basically trashing her. But then he offered to revise it if she had sex with him. Alexis: Did Kiki tell you that he had ever behaved in that manner before? Elizabeth: A few months ago, he tried to kiss her. And when she resisted, he went from being super supportive to hypercritical. And then he used the evaluation to try to blackmail Kiki into having sex with him. Alexis: Your witness. Scott: Miss Webber, did you ever notice Dr. Bensch acting inappropriately towards Miss Jerome? Elizabeth: No, I- I didn't, but that doesn't... Scott: T-to your knowledge, did Dr. Bensch give Miss Jerome a negative evaluation? Elizabeth: No, just the opposite. Nurse Johnson: I was the one that informed Kiki that her first rotation would be with Dr. Bensch. Alexis: And how did Kiki react to learning that she would be put on Dr. Bensch's rotation? Nurse Johnson: Well, she asked me to change her assignment so that she could work with another doctor. Alexis: Thank you. No further questions. Scott: Nurse Johnson, did you change her assignment? Nurse Johnson: No, I didn't have the authority. And besides, I... Scott: Besides? Besides what? Nurse Johnson: Well, Kiki changed her mind. I didn't understand what was going on. But then, I began to realize... Scott: Realize that you're not just a nurse, that you're also some kind of psychic, that you got this crystal ball that you can... Alexis: All right...objection, Your Honor. Argumentative. Nurse Johnson: I don't need to be a psychic to know when a young woman is hurting. Or to know when some pompous, good-for-nothing man is the cause of that hurt! [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: I've been away, Mike. And, uh, well, there were times that I didn't think I was gonna make it back to my family. Mike: Welcome to my world. Carly: It was hard, b..but somehow I knew that if I just kept believing, that I would find my way back to the people I love... Mike: Like, um, what's her-name? You know, uh, with the ruby slippers? Carly: Dorothy! Mike: Yeah. Oh, yeah! Carly: Well, Dorothy was right. You know, there is no place like home. Mike: [ Chuckling ] Yeah. I wish I could click my heels together and find my-- my way back to, uh, myself. Carly: You don't need magic shoes. You're always you past, present, future. You're always gonna be our Mike, and we're always gonna be your family. And really, that's all that matters. Right? [SCENE_BREAK] Francesca: I had excellent grades in nursing school. And I always had favorable performance reviews, until Dr. Bensch. He was hypercritical and berating me for mistakes I did not make. Until one day, he said it was a shame to watch my career go down the drain. He said he could help me turn it around, but I had to give everything I had. Alexis: "Everything"? What do you think he meant by that? Francesca: He said, "nothing in life is free." And all I had to do was... Alexis: Take your time. I know it's difficult. Francesca: I had sexual relations with Dr. Bensch. And after I slept with him, he left me alone. Alexis: And if you had not complied with Dr. Bensch's demands? Francesca: He could have had me fired. Alexis: So, you slept with him to keep your job? Francesca: Yes. Alexis: Thank you. Your witness. [SCENE_BREAK] Mike: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I left the checkerboard out there. I-- I don't like the rain and those clouds.[ Chuckling ] Sonny: It's not gonna rain today, Dad. Sonny: It's... Carly: he seems so fragile. Sonny: I was gonna say something to you sooner. You know, but everything going on... he's just..the past few weeks, he's just he's-- he's going down a little more. Carly: Have there been more incidents? Sonny: Nothing serious. It's just that, uh, there's fewer times when he's his old self, and he's starting to-- he's starting to grow further away. [ Loud crash ] Carly: [ Gasps ] [ Glass breaking ] Sonny: Dad? [SCENE_BREAK] Scott: I don't mean to be blunt, but did Dr. Bensch use any physical force to get you to have sex with him? Francesca: You mean did he rape me? No. Scott: So, it was consensual. So, you chose to sleep with him because you thought it might help your career? Francesca: I was trying to keep my job. Scott: But you still have your job. You haven't moved up the ladder at all! Your involvement with Dr. Bensch had no bearing on your career whatsoever! Maybe you're just upset; you're a little angry that you didn't get more help! Alexis: Objection, Your Honor. He's badgering the witness. Scott: No further questions. David: Starting to wonder when my lawyer was gonna show up. Alexis: Redirect, Your Honor? Judge: Proceed. Alexis: Thank you. Francesca, do you know the legal definition of "coercement"? Francesca: No. But I know how it feels. Alexis: The legal definition of "coercement"--"to compel by force or intimidation of authority without regard for individual desire or volition." That is coercement. Francesca, did you want to have sex with the defendant? Francesca: No. Alexis: Did you at any time ever express a desire for any kind of personal relationship with the defendant? Francesca: No. Alexis: Did you have sex with the defendant solely because of the threat to your employment? Francesca: Yes. Alexis: That is coercement. Thank you. No further questions. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: Miss Jerome [ Cellphone vibrates ] Alexis: On the night of May 31st, did you receive a visit from Dr. Bensch? Ava: Yes, um, at around closing time. Alexis: Well, that's unusual. Is he a regular customer? Ava: It was the first time I'd seen Dr. Bensch at my gallery. Alexis: But you were about to close your gallery, and yet you kept it open. Ava: Yes, well, it gave me an opportunity to thank him for all the help he'd given my daughter. Alexis: And how did he respond? Ava: He said that Kiki had loads of potential, but he wasn't sure she could handle the pressure. Alexis: What kind of pressure? Ava: I thought he meant academic. I certainly know better now. Scott: Objection! Judge: Sustained. Alexis: Miss Jerome, would you say that the timing of Dr. Bensch's visit was suspect? Ava: Well, I didn't know it at the time, but that very evening, my daughter was meeting with the chief of staff at General Hospital. She was filing a formal complaint against Dr. Bensch for sexual harassment. Coincidence? I don't think so. Alexis: Thank you. No further questions. David: Tear her to pieces. Judge: Mr. Baldwin? Scott: Uh, Your Honor, I have no questions for the witness at this time. Judge: Miss Jerome, you may step down. David: What the hell are you doing? Scott: Listen... I don't wanna turn Kiki's mother into a martyr. It'd be no good for our case. No good. Judge: Miss Davis, do you have another witness? Alexis: Yes, Your Honor. Just one more. [ Cellphone vibrates ] Alexis: I would like to call Kiki Jerome to the stand. Kiki? [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Excuse me, can I see Dr. Munro? My-- he -- Stella: Mr. Corinthos. Is everything all right? Sonny: Hey. Yeah, everything's fine. My dad... he just, uh, he fell down and... Stella: Hey there, Mike. Mike: [ Chuckles ] Hey, good-looking. Stella: What brings you here? Mike: Oh, it's nothing! Stella: Nothing? Carly: He fell, and he hit his head. Stella: Oh, well, doesn't look too serious. Why don't we let someone take a look at it so your son and daughter-in-law won't worry? Sonny: Miss Stella, is-- is Griffin here? Stella: No, I believe he's out for the moment, but, uh, Dr. Seng! He'll take a look at it for us. Dr. Seng, this is Mike Corbin, Dr. Munro's patient. And he's a friend, so I want you to take good care of him, okay? Dr. Seng: Well, we'll start by cleaning up that wound. Mike: Yeah, just wait, wait, wait, wait a minute, okay? Sonny: Dad, Dad, Dad, what's wrong? Stella: You know what? I'd feel a lot better if I could go in there with you. Is that okay, Mike? Mike: Well, [Chuckling] Sure. Stella: Okay. Dr. Seng: We'll go into room three. Mike: Uh-huh. Stella: Come on. Carly: She's really good with him. Sonny: As far as my dad's concerned, Miss Stella can do no wrong. Dr. Seng: Mr. Corbin, come on in and have a seat. Mike: You know, I'm a big boy. Y--you don't have to stay here and hold my hand.[ Chuckles ] Unless, uh-- unless you want to hold my hand. Stella: Oh, I don't mind at all. It's the least I could do after that great advice you gave me. You really helped with my nephew. Mike: Oh, well, you're welcome. I just wish I knew what you were thanking me for. [SCENE_BREAK] Curtis: [ Chuckles ] Well, I think we need to do this on a regular basis, you know? And that way, the honeymoon never ends. Jordan: Well, you know, there needs to be a wedding before the honeymoon. And now that Aunt Stella's onboard, we can go ahead and set a date. Curtis: Oh. Ha! Said the woman with the impossible schedule. Jordan: [ Laughing ] I know, I'm just-- I promise, once things settle down, I'm gonna go ahead and set a date. And it's gonna be locked in stone. Where are you going? Curtis: Well, if we gonna set a date, then we gotta pay for that wedding ceremony, and weddings ain't cheap. And I'll be damned if I'm gonna skimp on our honeymoon. Mwah! [ Chuckles ] Jordan: But-- [ Sighs ] [ Water running ] [ Cellphone rings ] Jordan: Uh, babe, your phone is... [SCENE_BREAK] Kiki: Dr. Bensch seemed to have more faith in me than I had in myself. He kept cheering me on. He wrote my letters of recommendation. Alexis: At the time, were you grateful for Dr. Bensch's encouragement? Kiki: Yeah. He said he recognized talent, that he championed it. I was flattered. Alexis: Kiki, would you please tell the court when your opinion of your so- called "mentor" changed? Kiki: Right after my boyfriend Dillon and I broke up. He became more personal. More touchy-feely. He was around more. He started seeking me out at the hospital. And the one day I was at the Floating Rib studying, and he came in, and he sat with me. He insisted on buying me dinner, and he offered to help me prepare for my organic chemistry exam. Alexis: That sounds harmless. Something a mentor might do... Kiki: That's what I thought. Then one night, I went to his office to try to find an organic chemistry textbook that he just happened to have checked out of the medical library. We talked, and then out of nowhere, he gave me a first American Edition "Gray's Anatomy". Alexis: Is that a rare book? Kiki: Yes, rare and expensive. I didn't want to accept it, but he insisted. The alarm bells were going off, but I didn't want to offend him, so I-- I second-guessed myself. Then a few days later, he called me into his office again to tell me that he had nominated me for this special shadow program at G.H. Alexis: That sounds thrilling. Were you thrilled? Kiki: Yeah, and surprised. I thought maybe I had been wrong about him the whole time. I was actually-- I was about to apologize to him for thinking the worst when... Alexis: When what? Kiki: When he put his hands on my shoulders and began to give me a massage. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: would you please tell the court what happened next? Kiki: When he put his hands on me, I froze. I couldn't believe it was happening. Then he moved his hands to my neck, and he told me that I was too tense, all while talking about this great opportunity I had in front of me. That I could be one of the few who made it. That he would see to it. Alexis: And what did you say? Kiki: I told him to stop. Alexis: Did he? Kiki: Yeah. He told me that I misunderstood. That he thought that we were on the same page. And again, I second guessed myself. I thought maybe I misunderstood. I tried to change my shifts at the hospital. And I did not go to his office alone. But one day, he caught up with me in the hall, and he asked me to come talk to him in his office. I didn't want to go, but he insisted. Alexis: And what transpired? Kiki: He told me that I had been selected for the shadow program. That I got in because he pushed for me. And then he grabbed me, and he kissed me. And that's when it all made sense to me that this had all been a set up... so that he could get me into bed. There were other students. There were more qualified students. But I got to skip the line because Dr. Bensch wanted to have sex with me. Alexis: Did you say something to him? Kiki: I told him to leave me alone. And in no uncertain terms that I was not interested. And I gave him his book back. Alexis: And was that the end of it? Kiki: No. Dr. Bensch was just getting started. [SCENE_BREAK] Stella: Don't tell anyone, but I'm a little squeamish around needles. So, when the doctor gets back, if it's okay, I'm just gonna step out while you get your few stitches. Mike: Yeah, yeah, don't worry. I'll probably forget anyway. But are you gonna tell me what it was I said that had helped you so much with your nephew? Stella: You spoke about the power of love and how it's the one thing that never really goes away. Mike: I said that? Stella: Mm-hmm. Mike: Yeah, I supposed that -- that sounds like me. The way I-- the way I used to be. You know, between you and me, I'm not that Mike anymore. I mean, I can feel him leaving the station. You know, like the-- the last train to far rock- away. Stella: I know. But you are not alone. [ Door opens ] Dr. Seng: Mr. Corbin, I'm gonna have to have you lie back, please. I'll see you in a few. Mike: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [ Door opens, shuts ] [SCENE_BREAK] Curtis: But just know that we have the room for the rest of the night. So, I will see you here after work. Jordan: You know, I would do that. I just figured that maybe you might have plans with Chandra. You might want to check your messages. There's, uh, there's an unopened message from her. Is that-- the Chandra? Curtis: Yep. She reached out, but I didn't respond. Jordan: Why? I mean, don't let me stand in your way. Curtis: Because... Jordan: [Sighs] Curtis: You, Jordan Ashford, you got my heart on lock. Because I love you. And I'm gonna show you over and over again... tonight. Right here. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: Hey, how's Mike? Stella: He's in good hands. He's getting a few stitches now. Sonny: Nothing serious? Stella: Well, I'm not saying that. [ Sighs ] Has Mike's condition changed? Carly: I've seen a difference in Mike in the time that I've been away. Stella: Felix spoke to you about considering other options. Have you thought about those? Sonny: You really think it's time for that? Stella: Well, it's not really about what I think or what Felix thinks. It's about what Mike thinks. He knows, Sonny. Deep down, he knows. So, whatever you decide, include him on that decision while you still can. Don't wait until you have to force it on him. This terrible illness is taking everything else. Don't let it take your father's dignity. [SCENE_BREAK] Kiki: Dr. Bensch called me into his office to tell me my rotation with him was coming to an end. And that's when he showed me a first draft of my evaluation. It was horrible. He-- when I asked him about it, he said that I could still earn a good evaluation. And that's when he... gave me a key to his hotel room. He wanted me to sleep with him. Alexis: So, to clarify -- Dr. Bensch offered to give you a positive evaluation provided that you had sex with him. Kiki: Yes. Alexis: And what was your response? Kiki: I ran out of his office. I wouldn't sleep with him if he destroyed my medical career. That same night was when Elizabeth Webber found me crying in the supply closet. And that's when I knew I had to do something. I had to speak up. [ Voice breaking ] I had to stop him because he cannot keep doing this! It's not right! [ Crying ] Alexis: No further questions. Judge: Mr. Baldwin, you may proceed. Scott: No questions at the time, Your Honor. David: How can you just sit there? Are you trying to throw my case? Scott: D-- did you see how the jury reacted to her? David: You-- Scott: Do you want to make her more sympathetic? David: Are you my attorney? So, act like it! Use the photo. [SCENE_BREAK] Scott: If you want to win this case, then let me do it my way. David: If you don't use this photo, I will fire you and do it myself. Judge: I'm calling a brief recess. [ Gavel bangs ] Judge: Counselors, approach please. Lulu : Anyone care to comment? Ava: I have never been more proud of you, honey. Griffin: Yeah, hey, you were great up there. How you feeling? Elizabeth: You were very courageous. And I'm pretty sure you made an impact on the jury. Franco: Can I talk to you for a second? Griffin: What's-- what's the deal? What's wrong? Franco: You know what's wrong. And now you know that I know what's wrong. Griffin: How'd you find out? Franco: Doesn't matter. My only concern is that Kiki be spared. [ Footsteps approach] Lulu: Hey, guys. Um, we're being called back. [SCENE_BREAK] Mike: You went to an awful lot of trouble over nothing, you know what I mean? I've gotten worse scrapes like this when I was a kid. I probably didn't even get stitches. Like-- like, I don't know... It seems like, um, another lifetime, actually. Like-- like it happened to somebody else. I guess it did, huh? Carly: [ Chuckles ] Sonny: Why don't I-- you guys--you guys hungry? I'll make some lunch. Mike: Oh, no, no thanks. I'm-- I'm thinking of the bed upstairs. You know, I- I- I think I- I want to lie down for a spell. Sonny: Yeah. Okay. Be careful of the steps. Do you need some help, Dad? Mike: Yeah, no, I got this. Sonny: You got it? Mike: Yep. Carly: Maybe Stella's right. Maybe it's time you had that conversation with your dad. [SCENE_BREAK] Jordan: Stella. Stella: Jordan, how can I help you? Jordan: I just wanted to check in with you about the wedding. You know, I-- I was under the impression that Curtis and I had your blessing. Stella: I support whatever makes my nephew happy. Jordan: Really? Then why'd you sic Chandra on my fiancé? [SCENE_BREAK] Judge: Miss Jerome, you're still under oath. Mr. Baldwin, proceed. Scott: Thank you, Your Honor. Miss Jerome, does this photograph look familiar? Kiki: Yeah, I know it. Scott: Let the record state that this is the plaintiff in the arms of another doctor at General Hospital, Dr. Griffin Munro. And it doesn't look like she's complaining. No more questions. Alexis: Redirect, Your Honor? Thank you. Kiki, despite counsel's off-color innuendo, what's really going on in that picture? Kiki: That photo was taken after the first day that I shadowed Dr. Bensch. He questioned me like I was an intern, not a pre-med student. And when I didn't have all the answers, he berated me. So, I was upset. Dr. Munro was concerned. He gave me a hug. He was being a friend. Alexis: So, how do you think Dr. Bensch came to have that picture? Kiki: I don't know. Alexis: Do you think maybe he was using it as ammunition in case you chose to report his inappropriate behavior? Scott: Uh, objection. Alexis: Withdrawn. I withdraw the question, Your Honor. No more questions. Thank you. Judge: The witness may step down. Alexis: Your Honor, I know that I said that Miss Jerome would be my last witness, but I would like to call Dr. Griffin Munro to the stand. Scott: Objection, Your Honor. The witness is not on the list. Alexis: That picture brings Dr. Munro's relationship to my client into question, so he has the right to set the record straight. Judge: Granted. Dr. Munro, please take the stand. Place your left hand on the bible and raise your right hand. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: I know Stella's right. Eventually, my father's gonna have to move into permanent care. But it should be his decision to make when he-- while he still can. I don't think he's ready for that. I know I'm not ready for that. Carly: Okay. Sonny: Well, you think I'm making a mistake? Carly: No, I-- I-- I think that's your call to make, you know? Look, if you want to talk, I'm here to listen. And if you need help, I will do whatever I can to help you. But making this kind of decision about this situation, that's between you and Mike. Sonny: You know, I've just been spreading myself really thin and... worrying about you, everything that's going on with Michael... Carly: I-- it's just too much for any person to deal with, Sonny. Sonny: I'm not making excuses. I'm just-- you know what? Everything's gonna be good because you're home. Carly: I love you. Sonny: I love you, too. [SCENE_BREAK] Jordan: You said that you were okay with the wedding, but I knew all along you were just hoping for something, or, well, someone to come along and stop it, right? Stella: I always liked Chandra. And yes, I made a point of checking in. But I also told her that Curtis was getting married, so you don't have to worry about anything as far as she's concerned. She's not the type to take another woman's man. [SCENE_BREAK] [ Curtis' Cellphone rings; he gets a message from Chandra ] [SCENE_BREAK] Griffin: I swear to tell the truth... Alexis: [ Cellphone vibrates ] Griffin: he whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God. Scott: [ Cellphone vibrates ] Elizabeth: Uh, stop texting. The bailiff's watching you. All right... you're gonna get your phone taken away. Franco: Uh-huh. Carly: [ Cellphone vibrates ] (Franco texts her a message that reads: Kiki and Griffin had sex) [NEXT_ON] Drew (to Oscar): Josslyn has been retreating from everyone, not just you! Josslyn (to Cameron): Did you steal them? Ava (to Kiki): Is there anything you would like to tell me? Alexis (asking Griffin, on the witness stand): Are you and Kiki just friends? Kevin (to Carly): Come back to therapy! Chase (to Jason): Don't you want justice? Mike (to Sonny): You trying to get rid of me!
