He's dead on the show. She was just saying her instinct was to call him in this situation, which was impossible. She was drawing a comparison between her situation and Luke when he was under mobster Frank Smith's thumb and not in control of his own life (the night Luke raped Laura, he had been ordered to put a hit on someone and wanted to commit suicide... I'm sure someone knows the history better than me).

Ahh ok - that makes a lot of sense, thank you :)

I actually wonder if this scene was somehow added in last minute after Geary died, otherwise it's quite the coincidence.

This is exactly what I thought. If I really think about it, with the holidays and timing, I lean more towards coincidence, which really makes you think about some kind of divine intervention.

Wow, those scenes on Friday's show between Michael and Jacinda were painful. The disparity in the acting was too much. He was good and she was dreadful. The actress is not ready for primetime.
