Layers Upon Layers

 

It's Hump DAYYYYYYYYYY! Again, I keep saying this but the summer is just flying by!! It will be September soon.  I'm hopeful now that the show is a bit more back on track? This summer was so jumbled up it's hard to even remember all the weird things that happened. 

Ava is giving her deposition. Tells Anna that Kristina kept saying she'd kill her over and over. Ava looks a Jagger, he smiles. Anna notices Ava looking at Jagger. Wonders why she never said that before. Ava says she was in shock. Anna wonders why her lawyer thinks. Ava says if she can find Scott, she can ask him. She and Jagger basically say they think Jason Morgan killed him. Anna doesn't buy it. She leaves. Jagger tells Ava she did things perfectly and he is now going to go look for leverage on Sonny. 

Jason tells Sonny the pharmacist is on the island, safe. Sonny says they can't lure Valentin out using Anna as bait. Jason doesn't like it. Anna comes into Sonny's office. She tells him Ava's statement. They both think Jagger told her to say that. THEN!! Sonny tells Anna this is all her fault because she let "her boy Valentin go".and Anna says it's HIS FAULT because he got Karen Wexler up on that stage! WOWWWWWW. Then Anna and Jason leave because she has to question him about Scotty's disappearance. 

Anna and Jason talk and in the end, Anna tells Jason to choose sides: Her or Sonny. WHOA. "aren't you tired of taking orders from him? You could when you were young and damaged but now you know it's wrong". Jason says that she's one to talk...especially all the compromising SHE did with the WSB, Faison and now Valentin. Anna gets all teary. 

Molly and TJ are getting ready for the funeral. Molly wants to give the baby a name. Curtis, Marshall, Stella and Jordan come to the apartment. They are early but want to settle in and have coffee. Molly says she has something to do before the funeral...alone. Leaves. TJ tells the family the name is Irene Marie. Stella was talking about her sister Irene and they decided they love the name.  Crying ensues. Stella has to go out into the hall and sobs. Curtis hugs her. 

Alexis is ready for the funeral too. She talks to Kristina. Krissy says that she wonders if TJ and Molly would still consider her family if they knew she wanted to keep "her" daughter. Alexis says that Molly and TJ hurt enough and they can never know they drew up something saying Krissy wanted custody. Molly comes in and tells Kristina they named the baby. Krissy is mad "Without ME"? Molly says yep, we are burying her and we are her parents. Kristina says she gave birth to her. Molly says; It's Irene Marie after TJ's grandmother. Kristina says: I wouldn't have named her that! Then John Jagger is at the door!! He says he's taking Kristina in. They say no. HE says if she doesn't go, he's taking them ALL IN and NO ONE will be there to bury the baby! Alexis tells Molly to go look in her briefcase for the trial agreement. She says he can't do it. He leaves. 

Looks like Joss and Trina are going to the funeral too. They are in The Gallery. Joss thinks Ava is going to prison. Trina says "don't count her out just yet". They argue about Ava's guilt and Trina wants to wait until the court date. Good stuff. Trina basically tells Joss SHE looks the other way a lot with people in her life, so back off. Ava walks in. Joss tells Ava if it was her in that hotel room instead of Kristina, Ava would have gone through the window. Trina tells Joss she's getting an uber to the funeral. Joss leaves. Then Trina asks Ava if it's true she told the police Kristina tried to kill her. She says that Ava never said that to her, so is she lying? Ava says she's in trouble and if she doesn't do what the FBI says, she'll be dead. Trina tells her she will stand by her but she'd better tell the truth. 

END: 

Sonny comes in to The Gallery. Ava thinks he's going to kill her. He says he's there to save her
