One Life To Live Recaps

OLTL Week of June 16, 2008

Monday

Gigi interrupted Shane and Brody's Navy workout session to remind Shane to get ready for school. Brody advised Shane to heed his "commanding officer." Once Shane was out of the room, Gigi asked Brody about the cash he got from Adriana to come to Llanview. Brody admitted that Adriana did pay him but revealed that Dorian offered to double what Adriana gave him to leave town and he turned her down. Shane walked in after Brody claimed that Shane's happy about his return and so is Brody. Gigi went out to pick up her last paycheck, so Shane and Brody resumed their workout.

In jail, Jared had nightmares replaying what happened with Nash. Natalie arrived and informed Jared that Jessica says she hates her sister now. Jared wanted to see the two reconcile and advised Natalie she just tell her family that she's through with Jared. She said she couldn't do that. "I choose you," she told him, and they kissed. Natalie suddenly had an idea and ran off as Jared advised her to be careful.

Clint and Nora arrived at Buchanan Enterprises to find Dorian (in a fabulous black, red and white polka dot ensemble) in his office. She announced that they have 48 hours to get their stuff out and never come back. She also told Bo that Ramsey's dead so his old job is open. Natalie called her father from the police station and said it's important that they meet.

David visited a hospitalized Charlie and remarked that they have something in common — they both care for Viki. David asked Charlie about what he remembers from his so-called bender and wondered if it's possible that Dorian had something to do with it. Charlie really didn't know and said he had no memory from the time he was in the hospital visiting Rex to the time he woke up in the alley. Charlie asked why David is so hell-bent on proving Dorian's connection to his disappearance, so David explained that he wants payback for Dorian screwing him over. Before he left, David asked if Charlie planned to make amends with Viki. "If I could I would," he sighed.

John, Talia and Antonio glanced at The Banner's headlines at the PD. Ramsey's killing made the top story, while Nash's funeral and completion of the BE takeover were mentioned below. Tina read the same headline, "Mystery Woman Sought," out loud to herself in the park. John recalled seeing a strange woman jumping into a limo but didn't think that she was the same woman who was being kept in Ramsey's penthouse. He also revealed that he'd found Todd there. Sarah and Cristian arrived just as Eddie was grilling John about Ramsey's murder. Cris revealed that the guy in the park was looking for a woman with a small dog, and handed John a sketch of the guy. Meanwhile, Jonas told someone on his cell phone that Tina mentioned a place called Llanfair, where Tina just happened to be watching Viki from the bushes. She eavesdropped as Viki told baby Bree that her cousin Sarah is coming over and when Viki said Sarah always makes her smile, Tina smiled, too. Jonas was clearly up to no good as he showed up at Llanfair and asked Viki if she'd seen "the princess." Viki didn't know what he was getting at. Luckily, David arrived and mistook Jonas for an insurance salesman. They successfully got rid of Jonas so that David could attempt to broker a peace agreement between Viki and Charlie, but Viki wasn't having it. As Tina was eavesdropping (noting to her dog, David Vickers, that it's David Vickers), David recalled how Viki forgave him after he married Tina while impersonating a Lord. Later, Tina watched Sarah and Cristian flip through an old photo album. Sarah admitted that every now and then she wishes her mom was around, and when Cristian left the room, Sarah came face-to-face with Tina. Jonas, meanwhile, received a picture message of Sarah.

Natalie met with Clint, Nora and Bo at the police station and asked if they'd drop the charges against Jared if she told them who the real Buchanan son is. Meanwhile, David made a mysterious call and suggested to the person on the other end that they arrange a meeting.

Gigi swung by "Cramer Enterprises" and asked Dorian for her last paycheck. "Stay," Dorian insisted, "and be my right hand." Gigi had a few snappy quips for Dorian, which impressed her even more. Gigi presented Dorian with the cryptic letter Rex received, but Dorian insisted that she had nothing to do with that, just as Brody was flipping through a cut-up magazine.

Tuesday

Clint was furious to learn that Natalie had kept the identity of his own brother a secret. He chastised her in front of Bo and Nora at the police station and accused her of blackmailing him. But she insisted that her offer was non-negotiable: He'll drop the charges against Jared and she'll reveal the real Buchanan. Natalie pointed out that she was trying to save BE by keeping things secret, and suggested the takeover might not have happened if Clint had handled Dorian differently. Jared was escorted from his cell, while Nora privately urged Clint to see the pros of making this deal with Natalie. Clint reluctantly agreed to drop the charges, noting to Natalie that her tactics disgust him. Natalie demanded to see their agreement in writing, reminding her dad that she didn't just sort paperclips at BE over the last year.

Charlie was about to be released from the hospital when he came face-to-face with Viki, who wanted to talk. She expressed her disappointment with his lying and lamented that she doesn't even know who he is anymore. Charlie tried to convince her that they really have something worth saving but Viki couldn't get past the lies and what they'd done to her family, to BE and to Nash. Charlie admitted that he was afraid to tell Viki the truth about him and Jared and pointed out that there's a reason Viki saved him in that alley. He begged for her forgiveness, and she hesitated to give an answer.

Tina was thrilled though surprised to see her mom and introduced Tina to Cristian, who sharply asked where Tina has been all this time. Tina was impressed with Sarah's overprotective boyfriend. Cristian wanted to know why the guy with the gun was after her. Sarah told Cristian to settle down and give her mother a break. Tina pretended she didn't know the man and told Cristian not to worry so much. When Cristian offered to consult his brother, Tina said that wouldn't be necessary — if Sarah and Cristian were willing to help her out.

Antonio visited Jessica in her room and offered his support. He acknowledged that Jessica and Nash had found true love and expressed his sincere sympathy. Jessica revealed that she is pregnant and insisted that Jared and Natalie killed her husband. Antonio reminded Jess that she isn't alone and that he'll be there for her. Jessica was grateful for his kind words but after stewing in her room alone, she tossed a framed picture of her and Natalie across the room.

Shane asked Brody what he was doing with the magazine and lied that he needed it for a school project. Brody caught Shane in a lie and asked if Shane made that letter. Shane silently nodded, then admitted that he'd wanted Gigi to marry Rex, but now that Brody's back, he thinks she should marry his dad. Meanwhile, Dorian suggested that Gigi produced the secret note that Rex received. Just as Dorian was asking if Gigi was going to stand up and claim what his rightfully hers (referring to the truth that Rex is Shane's father), Rex walked in and asked what was going on. Dorian told Rex that he's no longer needed at the company formerly known as BE. Gigi went home to tell Brody she needs to find a new job, leaving Rex alone with his reluctant mother-in-law. Dorian suggested he and Adriana seek an annulment. Rex was happy to have an excuse to leave when David showed up and cryptically remarked, "Us newlyweds have to stick together." Rex told David to kill Dorian for him, then took off. Dorian kept thinking David was talking about Alex when referring to his wife, but David was talking about someone else.

Wednesday

Starr phoned Cole and offered to make dinner for just the two of them that night. She assured him it was no big deal, but she was clearly nervous.
While attempting to cook, Starr nearly burned the kitchen down and admitted to her mom that she was making a nice dinner because she felt bad about what she was going to tell him.

Sarah suggested to Cristian that they stow her mom at his studio for a while. Tina ducked behind the couch when Antonio came downstairs from visiting Jessica. David the dog nearly gave her away, but Sarah covered by pretending to have a weird cough. After Antonio left, Sarah pressed Cristian for his help, but he still wanted answers about the danger Tina's in. Sarah requested that they just get Tina to the studio first and they'll talk about it later.

Viki said she might be able to forgive Charlie, but that doesn't mean they can be together. "You threw away our chance, Charlie!" she cried, stalking off after saying she was sorry things wouldn't work out. Viki returned home to find that Sarah had already left, and began to cry. Charlie looked at his one photo of them together, while Viki thought back to their night in the snow and cracked a smile. After recalling a memory of his own, Charlie waited in a hallway somewhere then finally walked into a door marked, "Friends of Bill W."

After Nora prepared an affadavit for Bo and Clint to sign dropping all charges, Clint demanded to know the identity of Asa's mystery son. They got into a huge fight when she answered "David Vickers" and he accused her of lying. Nora had to pull the two parties apart. Clint and Bo argued about Clint's rift with Natalie, and Bo advised Clint to be his own man rather than their dad. They all reconvened and Clint gave Natalie and Jared a chance to explain how they found out about David and what they did to keep the truth from him. Bo was sympathetic when he realized that they helped prevent Alex from getting her claws into the company, too, but Clint was still upset that his daughter lied to him.

Dorian noted to David that whoever married David must be certifiably nuts, and in walked Addie, beaming, "Mrs. Vickers to you." Dorian assured herself that this wasn't happening, and was appalled as she watched Addie kiss David right in front of her. David gloated to Dorian that he and Addie had to kiss a lot of toads before they found true love.

Tina couldn't help but make comments about her new digs and Cristian's paintings, but Sarah advised her mom to be thankful for his help. Cristian asked why he shouldn't just the call the police right now. Tina explained that local police involvement with an international matter like this one would only complicate things. Meanwhile, Jonas looked over his photos of Cristian and Sarah while talking to someone on the phone. He pulled out his gun and assured the caller that he would find Tina and this time, he wouldn't miss.

Cole, dressed in a nice sport coat, arrived with flowers and had no idea that Starr was about to drop a bombshell. Dorian called Blair and told her to get her butt over to Cramer Enterprises because Addie is clearly off her meds. Blair didn't believe her, but when Dorian said that Addie married David, Blair dropped everything to head to CE. David assured his new wife that if Dorian wouldn't let them live at La Boulaie, he's sure Viki could take them in, which further infuriated Dorian. Blair was less than impressed that David took her mom to Vegas and chased him around Dorian's desk. "Blair, would you like me to adopt you?" he asked, eliciting a punch in the face. Blair accused David of taking advantage of her mother to get back at Dorian, but Addie was upset by her reaction and requested a word alone with her. Addie explained to Blair that it's okay that David doesn't love her because she doesn't love him either. She's just checking marriage off her list, she added. Meanwhile, Dorian made David an offer that she thought he wouldn't refuse, but he crumpled up the written deal and scoffed, "I don't need your money. We're one big happy family now!"

Over dinner at La Boulaie, Cole suggested to Starr that they get married so they can make a home for the baby but that wasn't exactly what Starr had in mind. "I'm going to give the baby up for adoption," she announced. Cole was shocked and upset that Starr would just give their baby away, but Starr argued that the child needed a better situation.

Thursday

While Starr and Cole argued over the fate of their baby, Langston and Markko were playing cards with a group of kids on their school trip. Mrs. Caslow, the teacher in charge, knocked on the door after hearing voices and yelled for the boys to get back to their rooms. One of the girls asked why Starr and Cole didn't come and another girl remarked that she's clearly the only one who doesn't know about Starr. Langston told the girls to stop gossiping, but they caught on that there's more going on with Starr than just that her dad caught her and Cole in bed together. Meanwhile, Starr and Cole failed to see eye-to-eye on the adoption. Cole accused her of wanting to give away the only family he has and begged her not to do it. When she said had to, he walked out.

Marcie showed Michael a drawing that one of the kids from her volunteering jobs had made for her. She mentioned running into Starr and Cole in the park when John came by to ask about the X-rays he found in Ramsey's office. Marcie insisted that John stay and hang out with them. While John was in the kitchen, she told Michael about her encounter with Sam. Marcie ran off to check on dinner, while Michael informed John that his Jane Doe is lucky to be alive. She suffered severe injuries, including one to the head, which could cause some kind of altered mental state, the doctor explained. "For all we know, she's a blank slate," he conjectured, just as Marty was screaming and throwing a glass of water across the room. Michael asked John what he found when he got to Lee's place, and John explained that the only person alive there was Todd. Before heading to the hospital, Michael kissed Marcie good-bye and the two seemed to be getting back to a good place.

In a mysterious room, Marty woke up and found Todd and Keys standing over her. Todd informed her that she'd be staying with them now. "Trust you? I don't even know you," she balked. She became more agitated and wanted to know what she was doing there. Todd revealed that Ramsey is dead. Marty said all she remembered was hearing gunshots, then climbing out of bed and being found by Todd.

Carlotta caught Antonio kissing Talia and was disappointed to learn that their breakup had been all for show and she was in the dark. Antonio explained that now that Ramsey's dead, they need to find out what he was up to before he was killed. They sat down to dinner and Carlotta was understanding, claiming she didn't have it in her to be mad at the pair for lying to her. Meanwhile, Jonas remarked to his mysterious caller that he now understands why Talia is so important. After Cristian and Carlotta closed down the diner, Talia and Antonio stayed behind for a little make-out session. They began to roll around on a table, just as Jonas walked by and spied them inside.

At Cristian's studio, Sarah caught her mother up on Nash's death. Tina didn't even know that Jessica was married, and apologized for missing so much of Sarah's life. Sarah tearfully acknowledged that she did, but was grateful to be with her mom now and asked Tina to tell her what's really going on. The phone rang, and Tina was breathless upon hearing Sarah greet her father (Tina's ex-husband Cord) on the other end. Sarah didn't give away the fact that her mother was standing right next to her. After she hung up with Cord, Tina told her how much she likes Cristian. Tina asked how Nash died, but Sarah didn't want to talk about it. Cristian returned, and Tina asked for a moment alone with him, so Sarah took David Vickers for a walk. Tina confessed to Cristian that she's grateful he's in Sarah's life and if he wants to turn her in because that's what's best for Sarah, then go ahead.

Marty had a lot of questions for Todd, including who he is. "I'm Todd," he told the amnesiac. Even when he told her his last name, it clearly didn't ring a bell. Keys brought in Janet, who was relieved to see her patient. She told Marty that Todd hurried them to safety and was not the one who killed Lee. Todd saw Janet to the door and thanked her for assuring Marty that she can trust Todd. "I just did what you asked," the woman griped. "Don't make a liar out of me." After she left, Keys asked what it was Todd isn't telling Marty. Later, Todd watched Marty sleep, and when she woke up, she noted that Todd's body language indicates that he knew Marty before he found her.

John encountered Cole at Marty's grave, while Marcie was shocked to find Starr at her door. Starr informed Marcie that she's pregnant and asked if Marcie would adopt her baby.

Friday

Starr explained to a stunned Marcie that Cole is the father of her unborn baby and she wants Marcie to adopt the baby. Marcie jumped all over Starr for her previously immature behavior but soon calmed down and apologized. Starr informed Marcie that she'd done some research and learned that she can legally offer Marcie a baby through a closed adoption. Marcie was surprised to hear this but reminded Starr that Cole will have to sign away his rights, too. Starr explained that she didn't want her child to have two "crappy, teenage parents" and that she believes the best option is for Michael and Marcie to raise the child. Starr asked Marcie for her assurance that she won't tell Todd about Starr's pregnancy. Marcie wondered if Starr offering them the baby was just a good way to pay back her dad for all the crappy things he'd done. Starr confessed that she'd been in the ladies' room at the courthouse when Marcie had a meltdown after losing Sam again, and felt that this baby could fill the hole in Marcie's heart. Marcie begged Starr to listen to her fears, explaining that she'd finally moved on from everything that happened but if she takes her baby the war between Marcie and Todd will only continue. As much as it broke her heart to say so, Marcie assured Starr that giving the child to another couple would be best.

While seated at Marty's grave, Cole explained to John that he didn't want to give up his child because the baby is a part of his mom and dad, too. Cole talked about how wonderful his mom was and how she helped him get over the loss of his father. John recalled that Marty had said the same about Cole before she died. Cole said that's exactly why he wants to keep this child. John understood why Starr wants to give the baby up for adoption, and told Cole he's man enough to do what's right for his baby.

Meanwhile, a very much alive Marty wondered if she'd been friendly with Todd in the past, because that was pretty hard for her to imagine. Janet returned with medicine for Marty and noticed that she was upset, so the nurse handed her the photo of Marty and John. She left the room to prepare Marty's dinner, after shooting a nasty look at Todd. Once she and Todd were alone again, he answered a few questions about her, like if she has any siblings or family. She also wanted to know about the man in the photo that made her so happy. Todd explained that the man in the photo is the one who left her to die. Regardless, Marty was certain she didn't like Todd before her accident. Marty fell asleep, and just as Todd was putting away the photo, John was looking at a photo of Marty in his wallet.

Markko spun a story about covering for Starr and Cole on a romantic weekend away, which seemed to appease their curious classmates. Langston lamented that Starr and Cole can no longer enjoy the carefree, typically teenage things that they can, but Markko reminded Langston that her own experiences had made her a little wise beyond her years, too. Langston thanked Markko for being incredibly understanding about everything. He assured her that they have lots of time, presumably referring to their sex life.
