Summer: Tuesday, August 4, 2009

Rebecca took Nikolas back to the Quartermaine mansion, where they kissed and things soon became hot and heavy. Rebecca wanted Nikolas to spend the night with her, but Nikolas knocked something off the table in the foyer and claimed it was an accident. The crash sent Edward rushing out of the living room, where he demanded that Nikolas leave at once. Rebecca tried to argue, but Nikolas quickly left. After Nikolas was gone, Rebecca told Edward that she only agreed to live with the Quartermaines in exchange for the $10,000 Edward had given her. She didn't specify how long she would stay, though. Edward threatened to tell Nikolas if Rebecca left, and Rebecca decided it wasn't worth the fight.

The mayor was about the same height as Patrick, and Robin was about the same height as Brianna. If the mayor had hit Brianna, it would have caused an injury towards the top of Brianna's skull. The autopsy results showed Brianna's injury had been at the back of her head. Whoever had hit Brianna had to be shorter than the mayor. That left two suspects: Alexis and the mayor's wife.

Sonny tried to comfort Claudia after her nightmare, but she told him it had not been a nightmare. She had dreamt of holding their son. He was warm and had weight to him. In the dream, Sonny had arrived to take them home, and Claudia had never been so happy in all her life. Claudia realized they hadn't even named their son, and Sonny felt as if it had been his fault. He hadn't wanted thebaby and wished it had been Ric's. Sonny felt the baby's death was a punishment to him, but Claudia told him to never blame himself again.

At Olivia's apartment, Johnny and Olivia were exhausted after making love. Johnny wanted to make sure Olivia was still sure about whatever it was they had going on. Olivia was sure, but she couldn't figure out why he would ask. Johnny explained that the more time he spent with her, the more he wanted a relationship with her. He didn't want to be like Sonny, though. Olivia wasn't worried, because the two men were completely different in her eyes.
As Olivia and Johnny got dressed, he asked about the picture of her son on the mantel. Olivia had not told Dante about Johnny, and it wasn't something she looked forward to. Johnny left briefly and returned with take-out and flowers. The gifts were left on the table, though, as Johnny and Olivia were quickly undressing each other and making out on the couch. The door wasn't shut all the way, and Dante walked in and saw his mother half-dressed on top of Johnny on the couch.
