Laura, Ava and Anna Receive Mysterious Invitations From [Spoiler] — Plus, Robert Questions Selina About Holly

At Anna’s, she finds Valentin left her a large bouquet of roses before going back to work at ELQ. Holly arrives to see her friend and says she needs her help getting a job. Holly wants to get back into the spy game. Anna asks why she’d want to put herself through that again, or Robert for that matter. Holly explains she needs the money to help Ethan.

They sit down and Anna serves tea. Holly explains Ethan’s been robbing the rich to give to the poor, and some of the rich are after him. Ethan is trying to win the money to pay them back by playing cards, which will only make him more enemies of those he leaves big losers. Holly wants to settle Ethan’s debts.

Anna suggests she could turn to Robert for help, but Holly doesn’t want to get him involved and risk his reputation. She says there is another path she could take to get the money, but she’d rather not. That’s why she’s asking Anna to help her with the WSB. Anna says her pull isn’t what it was, and the new director isn’t enamored with her or anyone with ties to Frisco. However, she knows some people and can make some calls. She advises Holly to be careful of that other path.

Meanwhile, Ava tells Portia not to push Trina away, and to do better than she did with Kiki. Portia says she can’t just stand by and lose Trina. Ava asks what she is going to do?

At The Savoy, Curtis gets a text from the WSB agent, who is still interested in him. He gets back to work, and Ms. Wu checks in on him. She says she heard about his adventure, and that he may have a lovely new daughter. She says Trina is a brave young woman, and to learn she is his daughter would be a happy ending for him unless he doesn’t want a daughter. He asks why wouldn’t he. She notes her being his daughter means an attachment to Portia, and she knows that’s a complicated relationship right now. Selina explains she has connections in the GH lab, and she can make that test go any way he wants.

Curtis tells Selina that would compound another lie on top of the current one. Selena knows he is a risk-taker, likes adventure, and thinks the WSB could use someone like him. Curtis’ phone rings again and it’s the WSB, but he ignores it. She says maybe he doesn’t want to be tied down with a child now. Curtis says he knows she doesn’t care about Trina, and she must want something from him. She reminds him they are already in business. Curtis tells Selina not to do anything to doctor those results and gives her the tab for last night.

At the hospital, Trina asks a lab tech about taking her DNA test as she’s been waiting for over an hour on. The tech says it will be some time still. Spencer appears and points out that this young lady is Portia’s daughter, so the tech decides to go see what is open. Trina vents she just wants to get this swab over with and go to her class. She says no matter what the results say, Marcus will always be her father, but she wants Curtis in her life too.

Spencer can’t say the same about Esme and wishes she’d relinquish control of his brother to him and get lost. Trina says she can’t help but feel for Esme as she doesn’t remember who she is, and Ace is all she’s got. Spencer exclaims, “That’s it!” He feels Esme needs to expand her worldview, and once she experiences other things, she might be more willing to give Ace up. He quickly apologizes for going on about his problems when she has some of her own. She is grateful for the distraction.

Curtis arrives later and questions a lab tech about the security of the lab. Trina finds him and asks why he’s concerned. He says he just wants to make sure the results are accurate. Trina reveals  she hasn’t even been tested yet. The tech says it won’t be long now, and the results will be accurate. Later Portia arrives and finds Curtis with Trina and Spencer. Trina explains they are getting the DNA test.

Alexis stops by Laura’s place, per invite, and brought a gift for Ace. Laura asks Alexis to sit and tells her how she and Kevin have done everything they can to make Esme feel at home, but… Suddenly Esme appears with Ace and a bag. Laura tells her that Ace’s Aunt Alexis stopped by to see him and brought a gift. Esme says this is a bad time and she’s leaving. Laura asks where she’s going. Esme replies, “Anywhere but here.”

Laura asks where she’ll go, and how she’ll pay for it. Esme points out she has a trust fund, but Laura reminds her she doesn’t have access to it because of what she was accused of, and the trustees have locked it. Laura asks her to think about Ace. Esme says Ace is her life, but living here is suffocating, especially when Spencer is constantly making her second guess every decision she makes. Esme wonders when she gets to live her life on her own terms.

Esme puts Ace down and returns. Alexis has a way to help Esme stand on her own two feet and offers her a job as a receptionist at The Invader. Esme comments, “A job answering the phone?” Alexis asks if she has a degree or any job experience at all. Esme admits she doesn’t, so Alexis says this is a chance to stand on her own. Esme assumes Laura put Alexis up to this. Laura says it’s an opportunity. Ace cries, so Esme heads to his room. Laura hopes Esme takes this opportunity so she can put down roots here with Ace. Alexis asks why she looks so worried. Laura says she’s worried about Alexis. Laura notes Esme may not remember what she’s done, but she could revert to her old behavior. Alexis is aware of that, which is why she was worried about her living with them.

Esme returns and tells Alexis that she’ll take the job. Alexis says she’ll have HR contact her, and the job also provides daycare for Ace. Esme thanks her as it means she doesn’t have to leave him with Kevin and Laura all day. Suddenly there is a knock at the door.

Back at Anna’s, Holly has left and Anna gets a delivery, an envelope similar to the one Ava got. She opens it and looks concerned.
