Burned

After Nicole left her father Walter Booth's right hand Morgan Holt 'at the altar' and saw snake Tessa in bed with Jason, she doesn't know where to run to, so Frankie watches her getting drunk and sleeping it off while pointing out Jason is the best choice. Vincent puts Tessa in charge during her absence, notably to please fussy fengshui painter Eli Manheim, but her real priority is making sure Walter knows about Jason. Jason tries to find out what a tip about 'Bellport' means, against his pa Gordy Matthews's advice... MJ has wisely returned to her true lover Chris, but her first and heartless love Trey Chase still wants another roll and stops at nothing, even physically hurting Chris -MJ suggests it's a jealous story- and promising his naive admirer lifeguard Gabriel an all-expenses-paid surfing trip to Tahiti and a shot at a pro surfer career with his clothing sponsor Wildo if he helps Chase get MJ back, for starters providing an alibi for breaking in at Chris's place; Frankie warns Gabe in vain, but when it gets worse... —KGF Vissers
