B&B Recaps Week of December 11, 2006
Friday, December 15, 2006
At Forrester, Nick flashed back to Taylor’s comments during their therapy session. Her words definitely resonated. Jackie greeted Taylor in the lobby, and commented that Taylor must like a challenge, given how much Nick likes to keep things to himself. Taylor joined Nick in his office. Nick wanted to blow off therapy and go have lunch on his boat, but Taylor got him to sit down for a bit. Nick recounted his youth and the seamen who looked out for him when he was a young boy. Nick recalled how Frank Payne was a loser whose death didn’t affect him, though it left him and Jackie poor. Nick fondly recalled a sailor named Jerry Kramer who had given Nick a pair of pearl earrings to give to Jackie for Christmas. Jackie cried and said she couldn’t accept them, but Jerry insisted. Nick fondly recalled how Jerry became friends with them and would come visit for dinner. Nick seemed to get lost in thought. When Taylor got his attention he abruptly ended their session and told Taylor to make the next appointment with his secretary.
Stephanie dismissed Ann’s overtures for forgiveness. Ann said she was an old dying woman who would like to be forgiven by Stephanie for everything that happened, but said she realized Stephanie might not be able to do so. Stephanie asked for time alone with Ann. In another room, Pam asked Felicia why she let them in after Stephanie slammed the door on them. Felicia said it was out of curiosity: “What kind of people must you be for my mother to slam the door in your faces?” Pam fretted that Felicia blamed her for not speaking out years ago, but Felicia assured her that she didn’t — and neither did Steph. Pam said she blames herself, and explained when her father died and Stephanie left home, Pam felt a responsibility to step in and look after Ann. Pam admitted that what happened in the past can’t be changed but hoped that if Stephanie could forgive Ann then they could be a family again. Meanwhile, Stephanie conceded to Ann that she thought it would be easier to pretend that Ann was dead all these years, but it wasn’t. The holidays were very hard. But Stephanie felt that Ann didn’t give her any choice. Ann offered her unconditional apologies and insisted she wasn’t being melodramatic and manipulative when she says she doesn’t know how much time she has left. Stephanie said the damage has been done, her children are HER blessing, and Ann doesn’t deserve to be part of their lives. Stephanie said as much as she wants to forgive Ann, she can’t. Ann pleaded for a chance to make up for her mistakes. Stephanie said it’s too late. She can accept her apology but can’t forgive her, and asked her to leave. “It’s just too late,” sighed Stephanie as she leaned on Felicia’s shoulder after hearing the door close.
