Rafe is at the police station to see Gabi. She changed her clothes and looks really pretty. Gabi says she spoke to "Mommy." Rafe wants to be sure that Gabi is sure about the plea. EJ says he sees no problem entering the plea -- unless Nick’s family objects.
Meanwhile, at Club TBD, Hope tells Julie that as Nick’s family she has a right to oppose Gabi’s plea. Julie looks it over and is incensed. She thinks it’s a sentence you’d get for a traffic ticket. She is back in Julie mode. Ben shows up at the table and says Nick was a maniac. Julie calls him a busboy and Hope asks him to leave them alone.
At the courthouse, Julie shows up to say that Gabi took Nick’s future away, and she’s going to do the same to Gabi. Rafe jumps to Gabi’s defense.
EJ pulls Hope aside and suggests she handle Julie because they don’t want Nick’s past being dredged up. Hope talks to Julie and Julie says she isn’t going to let Nick down this time. Julie’s phone rings and Hope tells her to answer that.
Turns out it was Nick’s parents and grandmother and they told Julie they didn’t want an extended trial. Julie explains this to Gabi but not without another tongue lashing. She says she hopes she feels every minute of those 20 years.
Later, Jordan arrives and gives Rafe a hug of support. Sami gives her a dirty look.

I wanted to yell at Hope to open her mouth during these scenes with Julie. Julie kept saying how she was going to make sure that people remembered what a loving boy Nick was. I wanted Hope to shake her and tell her that all people would remember from a trial were all of the despicable, sordid details of his life. Maybe Nick's parents would have been the only people who could've gotten through to Julie but Hope's silence at much of Julie's rantings really bothered me.

Julie and Hope's relationship has always intrigued me -- sisters and step-mother/step daughter. Which role do they play and when? Today I thought Hope was more in the step daughter role. I'm glad Marie and Nick's parents made their feelings known. Also, EJ mentioned Maggie being notified but she is not blood so would she have a say?

I didn't know Nick's father was still alive or still in the picture.

I thought Rafe made some good points to Julie. Yes, Nick's life is over but he killed a man too and he didn't do much time for it and Nick was no angel. Julie sounded like she was ready to nominate him for sainthood. I sure wish she could know her little angel almost raped Gabi. Not that it would probably make much difference to her.

Not sure Julie would believe Gabi anyway. Gabi's sentence will be excruciating as she misses her daughter each day. It will see like an eternity. |

OMG I wanted to jump through my computer and just beat the snot out of Julie. I'm so sick of her acting like Nick was a perfect human being after being in prison. I'm glad that Hope made the comment that they can't act like Nick was innocent and I'm glad that Rafe stood up for his sister. When Julie was going on and on about how Nick wasn't in his right mind, I wish Rafe would have said "and neither was Gabi. All she could see was protecting her daughter and keeping her with people who love her, not isolate them from her like Nick was trying to do."
And why is Julie making such a big deal now? I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again. She wasn't there when Nick got out of prison. Hell she wasn't there while Nick was IN prison and enduring the things that he did. She didn't even take him in when he got out on parole. She pawned him off on Maggie. I'm so sick of Julie trying to assuage her guilt in not being there for Nick by taking it out on others.
And where the hell is Doug?? Why isn't he reining Julie in?
