One Life To Live Recaps
OLTL Week of January 21, 2008
Monday
Cole and Langston commiserated over the grief therapy group they attended. Starr burst in and wondered what they were talking about. She knew about the grief counseling and asked how it went. Cole and Langston didn't give details. "It's working?" Starr asked. Cole explained that what happens in the room stays in the room. "We can't talk to you about this," he explained. Starr was hurt but pretended not to be. Langston and Cole felt bad that they had forgotten Starr's 16th birthday. Cole and Starr kissed, and he promised never to forget her birthday again. Starr just wanted them to be close again. "All I really care about is that we're together. Okay?" she said as they began kissing again.
RJ paid Lindsay a visit at Bo's. He complimented Lindsay for "getting away with it," alluding to the fact that Lindsay had faked her insanity, and applauded her for killing Spencer Truman. She reminded RJ that no one could know that she was faking. "We think alike," Lindsay agreed. RJ had no desire to turn her in because he didn't want to visit her in the penitentiary. Lindsay wondered if her murdering Spencer was now "all for nothing." RJ warned Lindsay about Nora. "You have a target on your back," he noted. "You might have fooled Bo, but you haven't fooled Nora. She's coming after you." RJ wondered if Bo was in love with her. "He cares about me," Lindsay admitted. "I'm so grateful to him." RJ warned Lindsay to be careful and wondered why she hadn't pled self-defense. Lindsay didn't think that option was a safe bet. Bo walked in as Lindsay and RJ hugged.
At the Buchanan Enterprises board meeting, Pamela stated that Asa never conceived a child with Valerie Banks. Jared wondered how she could be so certain. Jessica and Natalie arrived and said that Viki was home and well.
Bo explained why Pamela was there. Natalie was overjoyed at the thought that Jared might not actually be a Buchanan. Pamela then shocked everyone with news that Valerie Banks was her sister. Bo exploded at that reveal. Pamela insisted that she wanted to tell everyone in person. She insisted that Asa had never met Valerie. Pamela continued the shockers by saying she was Jared's mother. She quickly added that Valerie loved him as a mother. Jared pointed out that he had never heard about Pamela. Pamela surprised Jared with all she knew about his childhood. Bo didn't believe her explanation. Natalie urged everyone to accept Pamela's story. "Case closed," she said. Pamela gave Jared her business card and added, "Your mother would be so proud of you." Pamela exited the room. Meanwhile, Sarah wanted everyone to focus on the business at hand. "Are we going to vote on this vineyard thing or not?" she asked. Nash burst in for the presentation. Jared explained the pros of BE buying the vineyard. "It's a lucrative investment for BE," he insisted. Jessica told the board they should indeed buy the vineyard. Nash was stunned and stormed out. "There is nothing you can say that will make me less angry," Nash seethed as the elevator doors closed. Despite Jessica's support, the board voted Jared's motion down. Sarah ran out for her date with Cristian. Jared looked sheepish. The boardroom cleared and Pamela returned to gave Jared a big hug. Jared thanked her for "doing this" — that is, for lying for him. Pamela said she was making up for what her brother had done to Jared's family. She reminded him that it's not about getting rich, it's about the Buchanan name.
Todd asked Viki why she wasn't pressing charges against Marcie for holding her hostage. "Marcie has suffered enough," Viki maintained. "It's over. You have your son back. Forget about vengeance," she warned her brother. An angry Todd accused Viki of ditching him, and he suggested she go back to the Bon-Jour.
Viki refused to change her mind about pressing charges. Todd accused her of stabbing him in the back. Viki tried to explain that she was doing this for Sam. "That kid has been through enough," she insisted. Viki added that Marcie saved Sam's life.
Cristian accused Antonio of giving up on his relationship with Talia. Antonio wondered if he had changed and rationalized that he was too busy for a relationship. Cris reminded his big brother that Talia had been "nothing but there for you." Cris agreed he was a little nervous about his possible new relationship with Sarah, but he was all smiles when he picked her up for their date.
Later, Nash told Jessica she had gone too far with her Tess charade.
Tuesday
Sarah tried to convince Cristian that she had become a neat freak, though he didn't believe her. Sarah tried to explain her habits. Cris wasn't easily scared. "I don't know how to act," Sarah explained to Cris. "I'm being really neurotic." Cris and Sarah cleared the air about her past date with Jared. They drank to creating new memories and headed over to the Palace for dinner. Cris said he was right where he wanted to be, and then asked Sarah what was on that piece of paper she had hid from him. Sarah said it was a song she had written. Sarah read the lyrics aloud.
Bo walked in on a hug between Lindsay and RJ. He reminded RJ that they had called a truce. Lindsay tried to explain her past relationship with RJ to Bo. Bo admitted he wasn't having a great day. Lindsay wondered if Clint and Nora's news bothered him. Bo said no. Lindsay invited him to dinner at the Palace, her treat.
Natalie visited Roxy and brought her up to speed on Jared. Roxy went to a Web site advertising single men but none interested Natalie. "They are not Jared," Nat sighed. Roxy left. Nash showed up and asked for a drink. "My life is spinning out of control — at least my wife is," he admitted.
A frustrated Jared began throwing things around the room much to Nigel's amazement (or would that be amusement). Nigel threatened to tell everyone the truth that Jared was lying about being a Buchanan if Jared didn't come clean. Nigel reminded him that Natalie "could be yours. Heart and soul."
Jessica tried to explain to Nash why she voted in favor of Jared's proposal. Nash began to wonder if maybe Tess hadn't come out after all. He explained to Jess why he didn't want Tess back in any form, reminding her of Tess' heroin use and her bout with hepatitis-3. Nash wondered if Jessica thought her life with him and Bree was boring. Jessica denied that. He asked if Jared had asked Tess to have sex. Jessica reminded Nash that Jared wanted Tess, not her, and promised her husband that Jared wouldn't touch her. Jessica said she was only going to pretend to be Tess one more time. Nash exploded. "Do what you want," he sneered as he stormed off. Jessica called Jared and said she was coming over right away. When she entered Jared's room, he was waiting for her — naked and in bed.
Clint gave Nora a nice kiss at the Palace. He told Nora about meeting Pamela Stuart. Nora thought it was all very interesting. They exchanged kind words about each other and Clint sealed that with a kiss. An embarrassed Nora didn't think they should kiss in public, in front of their children or grandchildren. Nora deduced that in the Bo/Nora/Lindsay/Clint square, the only people who didn't get along were Nora and Lindsay. Just then, Lindsay and Bo showed up. Clint invited them to join them, as there was a 20 minute wait for a table. Awkward!
Wednesday
Things were tense at the Palace when Lindsay and Bo joined Nora and Clint for dinner. The brothers talked about Pamela's surprise at the board meeting. The women didn't have much to say to one another. Bo toasted Lindsay and the miracle of her recovery. Lindsay claimed that Bo brought her back, so they toasted him instead. Lindsay then accused Nora of not believing she had a psychotic break. "Whatever," Nora sniffed. Lindsay thought Nora was jealous that she was living with Bo. Nora rolled her eyes. Squabbling continued. Then Bo and Clint started talking about how Bo felt about the Clint/Nora relationship. Bo wondered why his brother would date Nora, a woman Clint knew had cheated on Bo. Nora was furious and threw her red wine at her ex. Food began to fly. "Feel better?" Clint asked. "Yeah, I do," Bo claimed. Clint told Nora that her past with Bo didn't affect their future. Nora did admit she hates Lindsay living with Bo. Later, back at Bo's, Lindsay again thanked him for helping her.
Cristian and Sarah enjoyed their meal. Cris asked if she had written her new song with him in mind. She smiled and admitted, "I wrote the song for you." Cris smiled back.
Rex and Adriana paid Vincent and Layla a visit. Congratulations were in order, though Rex didn't know when the wedding would take place. Rex complained that he just had a handful of family members to invite to the wedding. He called his Aunt Corinne and tried to get her to open up about Roxy and his childhood. She avoided the questions and just wished him well.
Nash opened up to Roxy about his problems with Jessica. Roxy listened to Nash's woes as she used her plumbing skills to fix a sink. She suggested Nash get tough with Jessica. Roxy remembered when she had to give Natalie back to the Buchanans. Corrine called Roxy with news of Rex's call. She told her sister-in-law that he asked a lot of questions about the family. "He knows you are hiding something. I thought you should be warned," Corrine said.
A naked-in-bed Jared welcomed Tess to his room. Tess (actually Jessica) started to kiss him. "I'm feeling very friendly," she purred, leaning in for another kiss. "Tess" couldn't believe that Nash "fell for that integration stuff." Jared looked semi-convinced. Tess wouldn't crawl into bed with him, though — if that were to happen it would have to be in a hotel. Jared gave Jessica a drink but she refused to drink it. "It's my liver, too," she reasoned. Jared wasn't buying that Tess was back. He opened the door and the people from St. Ann's arrived. Jared showed her the document that she had signed, saying that Jessica would agree to be committed if Tess came back. "Oh, my God," she gaped as the people from St. Ann's took her away. Jessica tried to explain it was an act. Jared smiled as he kept referring to her as Tess. Jessica called Nash, begging him to come to the Buchanan house, "in Jared's bedroom." Nash showed up and Jessica tried to explain what happened. Nash told the St.
Ann's doctors that he'd suspected for some time "that she's been Tess. I think we need to get her some help." Jessica's jaw dropped. The workers took her way as Jessica screamed out for Nash. Nash smiled and Jared took a swig of scotch.
Thursday
Michael dropped by to visit his jailbird bride with "good news," while Todd tried to bond with wee Sam. Blair looked on fondly and then interrupted the father-son time. "What's wrong, Blair?" Todd asked her. Back at the clink, Michael told Marcie they found her a good lawyer and John said the DA agreed to meet with her. Marcie didn't care! She just wanted Tommy news. Michael assured Marcie the baby would be okay at Todd's, but she wasn't havin' it.
Meanwhile, Todd and Blair worried about Sam's transition. "I didn't know that I'd love him so much," Todd sighed. Too bad Blair couldn't seem to echo the sentiment. The brothers McBain laid out the legal stuff for Marcie, and John admitted she could be facing 10 years behind bars. Michael tried to soften the blow and a bummed out Marcie said she didn't care what happened to her without Tommy. Michael was like, dude, what am I, chopped liver? Besides, he missed Tommy, too! The duo emotionally gripped hands. Back home, Blair ended up spending some quality alone time with an uncooperative Sam. Suddenly, Blair saw Margaret playing with him and taunting her. As Blair snapped, "Get the hell out of my life! I hate you!" Todd walked up. Oops.
At the Palace, Nora was overjoyed to see Viki. At La Boulaie, Charlie told Dorian, "I don't approve of what Jared is doing, but I'm not going to be the one to send him to prison." Dorian empathized with his need to protect his kid. On cue, Adriana arrived with Rex! Viki praised the "simpler life" to Nora (but not in a Paris Hilton kind of way). Of course, she noticed Nora was acting a bit odd. Nora wrote it off to Lindsay faking her insanity instead of her snogging Clint on a regular basis. Speak of the devil, Clint appeared. And when he threw a look at Nora, Viki clued in. Back at La Boulaie, Rex swore he'd buy Adriana a real ring and then invited Charlie to the wedding to "beef up the Balsom side." Meanwhile, Dorian still couldn't let the ring go, learned the whole Marcie-Gigi story and flipped out. But she assured Adriana she'd fix the rift with Blair with a family meeting. "You know Todd, no grudge is too small for him to hold onto," Adriana cracked.
Rex urged them to get the wedding talk going so they could go meet his Aunt Corinne. Of course, Blair, Todd, and Tommy all arrived in the kitchen. Back at the Palace, Viki's jaw full-on dropped as she realized Nora and Clint were an item — and the beaming duo was so cute. Not so cute? Todd booting out Dorian and Blair so he could hold Rex's face to the burner on the stove.
Luckily, Charlie interrupted. Dorian then interrupted the ass-kicking Todd wanted to give Charlie. Back at the Palace, breakfast was a bit awkward but Viki assured them she's okay with Clint/Nora and then talked about her love life. Dorian kept Charlie's identity on the down low and got rid of "the psychopathic pig" that is her nephew-in-law. Viki tried Charlie's cell phone and Rex and Adriana showed up to meet Corinne, so Viki hired Rex to find her man! Charlie, meanwhile, beat himself up for Jared fleecing Viki's family and generally not being good enough for her. Dorian just poured salt in the wound.
Gigi praised the need of a good breakfast to Shane...and soon took to hollering for her son to get his "little butt out here." Who appeared instead? A creepy Ramsey. He warned Gigi that he'd be back at the FBI soon and Gigi could "end up on my list." He threatened to call Social Services to get Shane taken away and Gigi frantically called for her son. Ramsey then threatened the duo, wondering why John McBain was nosing around like a "mangy dog that smells pork chops." Mimi and Craig, er, Gigi and Ramsey, kept trading snark and Shane kicked Ramsey. The poor kid then immediately started wheezing and Gigi ran for his inhaler. Offering one last warning, Ramsey noted that Shane had quite a leg and "the Eagles are looking for a punter." Shane feared Ramsey would keep coming back and wondered if they could call someone for help. They could: John McBain. SuperJohn quickly arrived to save the day. "You can trust me," he told Gigi, before asking her to come to Llanview and narc on Ramsey on the record.
Friday
Rex and Adriana realized Viki's Charlie B. could be their Charlie B. while Charlie angsted over telling Viki the truth about himself. Of course, Dorian wasn't exactly helpful. Then, Addie arrived to hit on Charlie and Dorian and Charlie had to gently remind her Charlie is taken. Back at the Palace, Viki described her guy and Rex and Adriana stupidly decided it wasn't the same guy. Aunt Corinne, who raised Rex in Michigan, then arrived to praise the woman who was finally settling Rex down (and mentioned Gigi). Rex then questioned Corinne about extraneous Balsoms he didn't know. Back at Dorian's, Addie wanted to go to Foxy Roxy's. Dorian thanked Charlie for his sensitivity with her. He said Viki had his heart. "Her last husband gave her his heart too," sighed Dorian. "I meant literally — a transplant." (LOL!) Dorian invited him along to Angel Square. "Formerly crazy" Addie introduced herself to Roxy and Miles. When Charlie came in to check in with Dorian, Roxy sized up this "Balsom" filling Rex's head with nonsense. After Adriana excused herself, Rex asked Corinne to ante up about his family history: "What are you and Roxy hiding?" Corinne said she wasn't sure Walter was his father.
At Buchanan Enterprises, Uncle Jared told Natalie he wants to come back to work. He swore he'd behave himself. Nash arrived at Foxy Roxy's, complaining about Jessica's schemes. Meanwhile, Jessica awoke screaming at St. Ann's about being herself and not Tess. Roxy railed at Nash for locking Jess in the "cracker factory." (Not exactly tough love, ya know?) At the cracker factory, Jessica had to deal with some doc trying to shrink her. Frustrated Jess called Viki to spring her. Natalie was wary of Jared's olive branch and suggestion that they connect as friends. After she advised Nash, Roxy got a visit from her favorite guy, Miles, whom she dubbed an "angel." They discussed Natalie's habit of falling for the wrong guy. Weary of Jared's pitch, Natalie hired him back, but it wasn't exactly easy. They clearly wanted to make out. Meanwhile, Viki arrived at St. Ann's to rescue Jess — and Nash showed up to fill Viki in on Jessica's Tess plan. Viki automatically joined Team Nash, lecturing Jessica for fooling with DID. Jessica went off on her mother but immediately apologized and hugged her. She wasn't so apologetic to Nash, wanting him to let her go home. "You were taking things too far," he warned. Nash then called Natalie to fill her in on everything. She whirled on Jared, wondering, "You had my sister committed?!" Meanwhile, as Jessica waited to be sprung, she came face-to-face with crazy Allison Perkins!
Todd walked in on Blair railing at Sam and she quickly told him she was yelling at Margaret. Ahem. Todd reminded her that Crazy Mags is dead. Blair knew this, but couldn't shake the visions. Happy little Sam kept playing and laughing as Todd said it wasn't Margaret's voice inside Blair's head: it was her own. Blair assured Todd that she does care for Sam, but wondered if it was about "you and me" and not "Margaret and me." Blair talked about marrying for custody and being his "five million dollar nanny." Todd assured her she's more than a nanny. "You're the only mother he's got," he said of Sam. Blair pointed out that if he hadn't wanted Sam, they would still be divorced. There was only one solution: for him and Sam to pack up and move out.
