One Life To Live Recaps
OLTL Week of July 14, 2008
Monday
Rex was stunned to find a bunch of movers packing up Bo's stuff, but Delphina was happy to illuminate. Rex didn't buy that she has psychic powers, although he really wanted to know what happened to Bo. She accurately predicted how much is in his wallet, so Rex was slightly less skeptical as he handed over her $50. She went out on the balcony to "take in the aura" and had a vision that Bo is on a ride, that time is of the essence and Bo's departure has something to do with pie, specifically pecan pie. She urged him to go now in search of Bo, but first, he must say good-bye to a woman he loves. Rex thought about that for a beat and made a hasty exit.
John was happy to let his brother stay with him, but was curious as to why Michael needed to be there. John flipped through a pile of newspapers as Mike talked about his problems with baby-starved Marcie. He just knows Marcie couldn't stand to lose another child, Mike said, which prompted John to ask if Michael just couldn't stand to lose another child.
Meanwhile, Marcie was about to fill in Gigi when Starr arrived wanting to know if Marcie had decided about the baby. Marcie escorted her to a nearby table and announced that she would very much like to adopt her baby. She just knows it's the right thing, Marcie explained, despite how difficult it will be if Todd gets in the way. Starr asked how Marcie would take care of the baby if she goes back to work in the fall. Marcie had really thought it out and would seek the help of family and friends if necessary. And even if Michael is out of the picture, the child will surely be loved, Marcie assured her. Starr wasn't concerned about that; she knew that her child was meant to be raised by Marcie, so she and Marcie headed out to get a jump on the paperwork.
Meanwhile, Todd took Cole to the courthouse so they could file an injunction against Starr to prevent the baby from going to the McBains. Cole thought taking Starr to court seemed harsh, but Todd thought it was the only way. Cole was upset when Todd assured Cole that his mom would support their decision, too. "You have no idea what my mom would think!" Cole cried as she grabbed Todd by his shirt collar. Todd said he understood that Cole views this baby as his mom's legacy and seemed to convince Cole that this is the right thing to do. The lawyer arrived and asked if they're ready, just as Starr and Marcie arrived to meet with the judge.
Antonio couldn't believe what Talia was saying when she asked Antonio not to kill her father, referring to Carlo. "Her mother brainwashed her," Carlo remarked when Talia claimed Carlo was no kind of father to her. Talia explained that she became a cop to put people like Carlo behind bars and it was just coincidence that she fell in love with Antonio, who was clearly confused. Before leaving the two alone, Carlo made Talia give back the knife that Antonio stole and declared that he always wins.
Meanwhile, Cristian explained to Sarah that Carlo is extremely dangerous and played a big role in Cristian's "other life." Sarah pressed for answers, and Cris admitted that Carlo turned him into a murderer. He's no longer the person Carlo brainwashed him into being, asserted Cris, but if he could kill someone it would be Carlo. Sarah told Cristian to stop blaming himself for their predicament, while Antonio assured Talia of the same.
Gigi was having a slow shift at the diner when Rex came by to say good-bye. Gigi assumed that he was heading to Paris to see Adriana and was clearly relieved when he said he's searching for Bo. Gigi remarked that this feels like this is an awfully big good-bye for a short trip, kinda like when he left Michigan. "That was a long time ago," he claimed. "I've grown up." Before he left, Gigi gave Rex some food for the road and noted that Carlotta's flan is good but nowhere close to Moe's pecan pie. Rex suddenly had an idea.
Tuesday
With Markko, Langston dressed up as a sexy school girl in order to make a
sex tape.
Nora and Clint went to see Dorian at the office. Dorian, of course, kept
them waiting. Clint was still giving Nora the cold shoulder for ratting out
Lindsay and ruining the wedding. Nora said she's sorry for Bo, but she's not
sorry for telling the truth about Lins. Clint mentioned that the best way to
get to David Vickers is through Dorian. After keeping them waiting over a
half-hour, Dorian saw the pair. Clint stuck it to Dorian about David
marrying Addie. Then, Nora accused Dorian of illegally obtaining the
Buchanan stock and said they would be taking her to court. Dorian was left
reeling from the one-two punch. One the way out, Nora got in a good dig in
about Dorian's manicure.
David, clad in a bathing suit, chatted on the cell phone as Langston
approached. As a Markko ran the hidden video camera, Langston pulled David
into the bedroom and asked for his help in tutoring. Vickers was suspicious,
as it was summertime. Langston poured it on thick. Suddenly, a jealous
Markko burst into the room and blew the scheme. Markko was upset that
Langston cozied up to, "that old goat." David told the kids they're still
green as potential blackmailers and they need to learn the tricks of the
trade. After the kids left the room, David found Dorian's medical bag in the
closet, and saw it contained the date rape drug.
At Michael's apartment, Blair had a chat with John about the whole Cole/Todd
issue. Michael showed up and chastised Blair for bringing along Sam, a.k.a.
baby Tommy. Blair allowed the two some together. Once alone with John, Blair
confessed her concern for Starr and her ordeal. To lighten things up, Blair
offered to straighten up John's place. She found a dart board with Todd's
face on it. John relayed that it was Marty's. Afterward, Blair took Sam home
and thanked John for listening. John then comforted his depressed brother.
Before court began, Starr demanded to know why Cole was siding with Todd.
Todd simply stated that they were going to stop Starr from signing the baby
over to Marcie. Starr told Cole that siding with her father over her was
wrong and he knows it. Once the hearing began, Cole's attorney said Starr is
planning a secret adoption and needs to be stopped. Todd's interruptions led
to an admonishment. The judge said that any contract that has been drawn up
is not valid until the baby is born. Cole said there was no way he was
signing away his paternal rights. Starr asked Cole to talk about the matter.
Starr advised Cole to think long and hard about what was best for their
baby. Marcie gave Starr her support. In the hall, Cole said he was sorry.
Starr said she wasn't and walked away.
Natalie and Jared caught Jess/Tess talking to herself. She joked that she
was crazy but the pair didn't catch on that Jess was really Tess. Later,
Jess/Tess messed with Natalie's car engine, while Jared voiced to Natalie
that Jess seems to be pushing awfully hard for family harmony. Jess entered
and then manipulated the pair to get into the car and pick something up for
her. "Drive safely," she smiled as Natalie and Jared headed to the car.
Wednesday
Tess gloated to her vision of Nash about her plan to destroy Natalie and Jared, revealing that she tampered with the brakes on Natalie's car. Meanwhile, Natalie explained to Viki that Jessica had asked them to pick up a case of wine from the vineyard. Viki urged them to stay home with Bree, so Nat suggested Viki use her car to run errands. While Natalie was out of the room, Jared explained why he and Charlie lied and asked Viki to give his father another chance.
At the diner, Charlie remarked to Gigi that he wished he was back at the Bonjour. "Before our lives got so complicated?" Gigi asked. Charlie expressed his regret for hurting Viki and Rex. Gigi noticed that Charlie was toting an AA bible and asked what a family should do if they think they have an alcoholic on their hands. When he wondered if she has something going on, Gigi denied it, saying she was just curious. Charlie asked how Rex was doing since the breakup of his marriage and said he thought Gigi and Rex would get together eventually. Gigi admitted that Adriana's still in the way, even while she's in Paris, and she doesn't know how she feels about Brody.
Meanwhile, Rex showed up at the Bonjour in search of Bo. Noelle confirmed that Bo had been there and "he was in real bad shape." Noelle recalled him talking to himself and refusing to eat. Flashback to Bo's visit: "You laughin' at me, Pa?" he groaned as Moe came over to check on the customer. Moe asked if Bo would like some pecan pie, noting that his girlfriend Noelle makes the best pie around. Back in the present, Rex explained to Noelle that a psychic told him to follow the pie. Noelle recalled the last time she talked to Gigi and remarked that Gigi did seem uncertain about the miraculous return of "Shane's father."
Bo showed up at the ranch and ran into Chuck, who went to secure the horses before the anticipated storm blew in. A drunken Bo continued to talk to Pa, this time seeing him drinking a Bourbon in the living room. Asa taunted Bo, reminding him that Clint was the one with the guts to go riding and jump that fence near their house. He even brought up Bo's penchant for dating women who ruin him. "You never had any guts, Bo," he spat. Goaded by Asa, Bo headed to the stable and was just about to hop on a horse when Rex arrived. "Don't take that ride," he cautioned.
Natalie and Jared walked in on Tess fantasizing about dancing with Nash and saw "Jessica" standing there hugging no one. Tess was shocked to see Natalie and Jared, who explained that Viki was driving Nat's car. Tess was visibly upset, but covered by explaining that she was just missing Nash after hearing their song. Alone with "Nash," Tess said she didn't care about Viki's fate and complained that Viki wasn't supposed to be the one to die that night. Tess acted quickly and found some poison to drop into the risotto she planned to serve Natalie and Jared. Tess set the table and told the pair to dig in!
Dorian got in her limo and vowed to removed David from Addie's life, not realizing that David was dressed as the driver. As she continued to wave around a pair of pruning shears, he suddenly grabbed them away from her and revealed that he found her Rohypnol. "Who did you give it to, Dorian?" he pressed, explaining that he found it in her doctor's bag after Langston tried to seduce and blackmail him. He wouldn't take her home unless she confessed to using the drug on Charlie. Frustrated with Dorian's lies, David left her on the side of the road. Meanwhile, Viki was thinking back to what Jared said as she drove off in Natalie's car. She started to slow down as she saw Dorian standing in the middle of the road, but nothing happened when she depressed the pedal.
Thursday
Antonio and Talia snuggled in the dungeon and Talia asked why Antonio isn’t mad at her for not telling him about Carlo. He said he doesn’t see her as Carlo Hesser’s daughter; he sees her as Talia Sahid, the woman loves. She still felt guilty for putting him in captivity. He told her not to worry and assured her that they’ll get themselves out of Carlo’s clutches. Jonas arrived and summoned Antonio and “Ms. Hesser” to the palace.
Meanwhile, Cain and Tina were chilling on their thrones when Sarah came in and informed them that Jonas is working for someone else. “Jonas is Carlo Hesser’s boy,” Cristian revealed. “You’re right!” Carlo confirmed as he entered the room, then explained that today is a big day. The press arrived and he explained that all would soon be revealed. He then made a speech about being a “citizen of the world” whose civic duty it is to expose their prince and princess as frauds! Bitterman got up to the podium with the blood reports to prove that Cain is not the true heir and claimed that he’s even gone so far as to recreate the birthmark of the prince on his “hindquarters.” Tina and Cain were hauled off by guards and Carlo announced that Jonas is the true heir. After Carlo dismissed the press, he declared Talia the future queen of Mendorra, implying that she would be marrying Jonas.
In Texas, Rex urged Bo not to get on the horse and asked why Bo moved out of his apartment. “I’m done with Llanview. All of it,” Bo declared, then asked how Rex tracked him down to the ranch. Rex explained about his encounter with Delphina, the good-bye with “the woman he loves,” the pie, etc. Bo told him to back up, remarking that Rex must be finally ready to admit he’s in love with Gigi. Rex insisted that this is not about him and it’s about Bo not getting on that horse. Bo explained that Asa had taunted him that very evening and he was going to show Pa once and for all, so Bo locked Rex in a stable and mounted the horse. Rex managed to get out moments after Bo took off and rode another horse after him.
At Llanview’s diner, Gigi was visibly uncomfortable when Brody kissed her on the cheek. While Shane was out of earshot, Gigi pointed out that Brody smells like beer and shouldn’t have been driving. He claimed he just had a sip, but she advised him to do something about his drinking problem or risk losing Shane. She suggested he attend an AA meeting at the community center but he didn’t think he had a problem. Gigi then threatened to tell Shane the truth, just as Shane overheard and asked what truth she’s talking about.
The brakes kicked in on Natalie’s car in time for Viki to avoid hitting Dorian. Viki jumped out and asked Dorian what she was doing in the middle of the road. Dorian explained about David commandeering her car, then running out of gas and abandoning her. Viki was rather amused by the whole tale and agreed to give Dorian a ride — if she didn’t put up a fight about stopping by the vineyard first. Dorian whined for a little bit but then grabbed her doctor bag and got in the car.
Meanwhile, Natalie and Jared proposed a toast before digging into their poisoned risotto. Just as they were about to ingest it, Jessica took over Tess and knocked over the plates. When they asked what she was doing, she ran off and said she wanted to be alone. In the bathroom, Tess returned and argued with Jessica in the mirror. Jess threatened to make sure Tess never comes back again if Tess kills Natalie and Jared. Tess agreed to wait, pointing out that one death may be enough for one night. Jessica was alarmed to hear that Viki may have perished in a car crash and begged Tess to stop Viki from driving. Tess told Jessica to stop her crying and get lost. Tess returned to the kitchen, and after witnessing Jared and Natalie in a liplock, apologized for her outburst and said she wanted to make it up to them.
At the ranch, Bo arrived at the fence he intended to jump over, and when he saw Rex, he warned him that the horse would surely throw Rex off. Just as Bo was explaining why he needed to jump that fence, Rex’s horse got scared by a clap of thunder and Rex hit the ground. Bo helped him up, then leaned on the metal fence just as a bolt of lightning hit the fence and sent a shock through Bo.
Friday
Tired of Dorian's yapping, Viki turned on the radio to tune her out. Dorian requested some "decent CDs" but Viki turned the radio off and said she wanted to talk about Charlie. Viki wondered what Dorian knew about Charlie's latest bender. Dorian altered the subject by noting that she knows what it's like to love a drunk, referring to Mel. Viki noted that Mel was a wonderful man and Dorian spat that Mel should be alive today, not Viki. She said she often thinks about how she and Mel swapped seats on the plane that took his life, and how she left before takeoff. Viki wondered how Dorian lives with what she's done, referring the Charlie setup. Dorian admitted to having an argument with Charlie at the hospital but claimed Charlie made up the story about her drugging him. "I wouldn't put anything past you," said Viki, suggesting that it was entirely possible that Dorian found a way to dump Charlie in that alley. Dorian lied that Charlie fell off the wagon and into her bed that night, and told a long-winded, dramatic story about how they ended up getting drunk and sleeping together. Viki didn't buy a word of it, although she did think back to Charlie saying he had a strange memory of being in Dorian's bed.
In Mendorra, Talia insisted she didn't want to be the queen of any country, but Carlo informed his daughter that this is her destiny. Talia informed Jonas that he'd have to kill her before she'd marry him. Carlo threatened to kill all of her friends and make sure Antonio's death would be a long, slow one. Cristian ran off, distracting the guards, while Antonio grabbed Carlo from behind. Talia begged him to let her father go, and the guards dragged away Antonio. Jonas demanded that Tina and Cain hand over the crown jewels, which Tina did with great hesitation. Jonas tried to make Talia wear the necklace and said she'd wear it for their wedding. She refused and declared her hatred for Carlo before being taken away. Carlo informed Tina that Mendorran law demands that traitors are beheaded. Tina was speechless. Carlo then delivered the next blow, telling Cristian that he is going to kill Sarah.
Gigi told an inquisitive Shane that she and Brody were just discussing a problem that Brody has. Brody stood up and declared that he has to do something to become a better dad, then headed out. Gigi promised Shane that she wouldn't take Brody away from him but said she just wants to make sure Shane is safe. Shane wondered if his parents would ever be more than friends.
At an AA meeting, Charlie admitted to ended up in the ER with an incredibly high blood alcohol level. He explained that the whole situation was fishy and he thinks someone else forced him to drink. Everyone at the meeting said they were able to remember their first drink and the chance they had to stop themselves, but no one was really sure what he was getting at. Charlie suggested someone wanted him out of commission for a while. The moderator thanked Charlie for sharing, then welcome a late arrival, Brody. He claimed he's not an alcoholic, but sat down and started talking anyway. He shared how his life had changed after Afghanistan, where he saw friends die in action, and sought comfort from the bottle. He claimed that his ex-girlfriend and "her son" made him want to be a better guy. Brody admitted that the kid isn't really his son but he wants Gigi to see him differently. He said if he doesn't change the way Gigi sees him, she'll always be hung up on "the kid's real father," which gave Charlie pause.
When Rex reached out to help Bo, who'd received an electric shock from the metal fence, Rex got a shock, too. Both were thrown from the fence and passed out on the grass. It started to downpour, and Chuck found the two unconscious. Rex started to stir, mumbling, "Morasco." Chuck and some ranch hands returned with stretchers and dragged the men to safety.
Viki and Dorian's argument escalated as Viki was clearly hurt by Dorian's claim. Dorian saw something in the road and cried out for Viki to stop, but the brakes wouldn't work. The car crashed and Dorian discovered that Viki had lost consciousness. Dorian checked her pulse and gasped, "She's gone! Viki's dead."
