One Life To Live Recaps
OLTL Week of June 30, 2008
Monday
Tess opened Nash's coffin to find Jessica's deceased husband wearing a white
blazer, blue T-shirt and something of a smirk. "Hey, baby. I'm here. It's
me, Tess," she whispered. She apologized for taking so long to return to
him, blaming Jessica for keeping her "locked up," then vowed to make Natalie
and Jared pay.
At their new digs, Natalie lamented to Jared that her sister can't be with
Nash. On the cover of The Sun, of course, was the news that Jessica
publicly accused Natalie and Jared of killing Nash. Tess returned home and
danced wildly to celebrate her freedom. As the loud music blared from
inside, Viki found the newspaper still on the cottage doormat. Tess heard
Viki knocking outside and quickly covered up her dress with a robe. Viki
asked her to turn down the music and was shocked to see the shattered
mirror, courtesy of Tess. "Jessica" said she was angry with Natalie but
challenged her mother to let Nat come to the burial. When Viki turned
around, Tess whispered, "You ain't seen nothin' yet, 'Mother.' " Tess got
dressed for the burial and drove a knife into the newspaper between Jared
and Natalie's photos.
After watching Addie feed David strawberries, Langston was a little confused
about David bouncing from Dorian to her sister. Dorian sat down to tea and
clearly had something up her batwing sleeve. The doorbell rang and it was
Madame Delphina, the psychic who'd helped Dorian contact Mel after his
death. Delphina instructed the couple to sit and asked David for his hand.
She correctly guessed that he'd opted for blue briefs instead of leopard
print that day. Dorian asked her to proceed and Delphina started to give a
reading but stopped herself from going through with Dorian's request to
predict doom and destruction. Then, to Dorian's chagrin, Delphina predicted
happiness for the couple and a visit from David Vickers. Huh? Suddenly,
Natalie and Jared brought in David Vickers the dog. Starr and Langston were
highly amused, while David was just confused. When Dorian made mention of
Jared pretending to be Asa Buchanan's long-lost son, that struck a nerve for
Delphina. "Asa Buchanan's long-lost son is ... is right here in this room!"
she cried. Dorian told her the pretend son is in the room and asked her to
leave. At that moment, Delphina channeled Mel, who challenged Dorian to
confess her latest misdeed. Delphina broke out of her trance and predicted
that the dog belongs to a princess. Natalie and Jared left the dog with
Addie, so she and David took the pup out to relieve himself.
While Antonio and Cristian tried to figure out what Jonas would want with
Sarah and Talia, Tina showed them the jewels. She explained that Jonas is a
crook and just wants the jewels. There was a knock at the door and it was
Jonas. Antonio held his gun on the ambassador and pinned the man against the
wall. Jonas reminded Antonio that he has full diplomatic immunity and can't
be arrested. Cristian wanted to see Sarah right away, so Jonas suggested
they get their passports in order and follow him to Mendorra.
Clint explained to an inquisitive Matthew that they held off on Nash's
burial because of Jessica's outburst. Bo and Lindsay arrived and announced
their engagement to the family. Nora got queasy and had to excuse herself.
Matthew was elated and suggest they get married at the mansion. Nora was
skeptical but held her tongue. Suddenly, Lindsay got a little dizzy and
opted to stay behind. When everyone had left for the burial, she nervously
glanced at the folder that contained R.J.'s telltale letter. Nigel returned
with some tea while Lindsay faked sick on the couch. She demanded that Nigel
get her an antacid and while he was out of the room, she nabbed the letter
and burned it in the fireplace.
At the burial, everyone except Jessica read the 23rd psalm. Afterward,
Jessica requested a moment alone. When everyone was gone, she threw herself
on the coffin and swore that she would make Natalie and Jared regret taking
him away from her. The Buchanans and Nora returned from the burial and
Lindsay announced that she was feeling 100 percent better. When Lindsay was
out of the room, Nora handed Clint the folder and said she had duplicates of
every page in her briefcase.
Delphina stayed behind to give Langston a reading and assured her that she's
not alone and her parents are proud of her. "Don't forget what they said,"
she advised, leaving Langston with food for thought. Then, Delphina foresaw
trouble with Starr's baby.
At the hotel, Jared and Natalie were surprised to see "Jessica" arrive at
their door.
Tuesday
Delphina predicted that Starr's unborn child is in grave danger. Blair
walked in and wasn't too pleased to find Delphina at her house, calling her
a "sideshow queen." The baby is physically fine, Delphina explained, but
there's going to be a war fought over him or her. Todd could be involved in
the war, she continued, but he's "got other fish to fry" at the moment.
Delphina's statement seemed to pique Blair's curiosity, but Blair didn't
want the psychic hanging around her children. Once Starr and Langston were
gone, Delphina saw right through Blair's claim that she's through with Todd
and mentioned the other woman in Todd's life. Blair was now highly curious,
so Delphina hinted that the mystery woman is beautiful and passionate, and
shares a "dark bond" with Todd.
Meanwhile, Markko advised Cole that Starr's been freaking out after not
hearing from Cole. Cole explained that he wants to raise the child with or
without Starr, regardless of her desire to give the baby up for adoption,
and had even consulted Nora on his legal rights. Markko wanted Cole to think
about what he was saying and pointed out that this could be the end for him
and Starr. He advised Cole to hold off any more legal business until he
talks to Starr and tries to work things out. Thanks to something cryptic
Delphina said, Langston made plans for Starr and Cole to meet at the diner.
Starr didn't think it was a good idea and Langston was shocked to hear that
Starr wanted to give the baby to Marcie. Langston tried to talk her out of
it, but Starr reminded her that it's her choice to make.
Marcie met with her custody lawyer, Judy, to ask about the possibility of
another adoption. Judy was sorry to say that Marcie wouldn't meet any
adoption agency's requirements. Marcie "hypothetically" wondered if a
private adoption would be an option, but Judy caught on that Marcie already
had someone in mind. Marcie explained that someone who's well aware of her
history wants to give Marcie a child, but Judy reminded her that 16-year-old
girls are notoriously unreliable. Marcie just wanted to know — if both
parties are willing, is there any way she can make this happen? Judy gave
her a "maybe", but suggested they head to the diner to discuss the
complicated process.
Cole and Starr shared an awkward exchange at the diner but ended up in each
other's arms after admitting that they missed each other. Just as Cole and
Starr were sitting down to talk, Starr saw Marcie enter the diner with Judy.
Natalie was elated to see Jessica (really Tess) at her door but a little
confused as to why she was there. Jessica informed Natalie and Jared that
nothing can change what happened to Nash but acknowledged that it was an
accident. Natalie said she was sorry and gave Jess a hug. "I'm sorry, too,"
she whispered. Jared made an apology, too, for hurting her and her family
and for putting the vineyard on the line. Jessica said it was water under
the bridge, considering he didn't hold those two years in jail against her.
Jared pointed out that his jail sentence was Tess's doing. "But I am Tess,"
she smiled, then explained that there's still parts of Jessica's personality
that are reflective of Tess — although the forgiving part belongs to
Jessica. After Natalie fell for her act, Tess walked out and muttered to
herself, "Suckers." She passed by Delphina downstairs and told the psychic
to get out of her way. When Delphina asked what she'd done with Jessica,
Tess noted, "Jessica has left the building."
At Todd's house, Marty continued to press him about why he's taken her into
his care and wanted to know more about their college days. Todd revealed
that he was a football player, so Marty asked if she was a cheerleader,
which made Todd laugh. "So what was I? A party girl?" she correctly
surmised. He didn't give her an answer. She requested that he take her
outside and noted that he appeared very uncomfortable when asked to hold
her. He obliged and said it was no problem, awkwardly carrying her
downstairs. Todd stopped dead in his tracks when he heard the doorbell ring
and Blair called out his name.
Wednesday
At the diner, Starr made eye contact with Marcie but simply nodded and resumed her conversation with Cole. While eating with Judy, Marcie ran into John and lied about why she was meeting with her lawyer. Judy caught on, guessing that the "former babysitter" Marcie was referring to is Starr. Over at the counter, John sidled up to Judge Runyon and badgered him about obtaining a search warrant that he'd already been denied. John explained that he thinks Todd Manning has kidnapped a critically injured woman who may need help. The judge saw no good reason to suspect Todd of anything and denied John's request.
Meanwhile, Starr explained to Cole that she understands his desire to raise their child but truly feels it is in the child's best interest to let a more mature couple raise him or her. Judy explained to Marcie that the baby's father must give consent and wondered what threat Todd would pose to the situation.
Blair continued to ring Todd's doorbell, so he had to think fast and leave Marty in the living room. He cautioned Marty to stay put and closed the doors to conceal her. Blair asked what Todd is hiding and noted that he must be all sweaty from a romp with his new bimbo. Todd didn't deny or confirm anything and hinted that Blair still wants him. "I could have you right here right now if I wanted to," he whispered, then yelled at the top of his lungs for her to get out. Blair was so annoyed with Todd that she hastily signed the divorce papers and tossed them at him. Before storming off, she warned him that he'll never get anywhere near her or their children again. Todd returned and Marty apologized for overhearing some of the conversation. She gathered that his soon-to-be ex-wife is very upset with him.
Roxy met with Madame Delphina and wanted to know if Rex would ever forgive her for lying about his father. Delphina didn't have much to say, but got a vibe from Charlie and left him with one tidbit: He didn't drink alone. Later, Charlie and Rex tried to figure out what that means.
At the garret, Bo gave Lindsay a bona fide engagement ring before she left to prepare for the wedding. She stopped by the diner, too, to make sure Marcie would be her maid of honor. Meanwhile, Rex told Bo he was sorry that Bo had to waste his ring for Gabrielle on Rex and Adriana, but Bo told him not worry about it and even credited Rex with helping Bo realize what's important. He then asked Bo to be his best man. Rex agreed, noting that if the wedding goes anything like his, an ex will show up and slug the bride (a bit of foreshadowing perhaps?). Bo inquired about Rex's feelings for Gigi, considering Adriana's not really in the picture. Rex admitted to being slightly miffed at Gigi for waiting so long to reveal her feelings. Lindsay returned from dress shopping and sensed that Rex was unhappy about something. She urged him to do whatever he needs to do to change that, noting that Jen would want him to be happy.
Dorian dropped by the carriage house to give Brody a hard time about accepting her money without leaving town. He revealed that the money he received is now in a college fund in Shane's name and reminded her that they had no written agreement. Dorian threatened to squeal to Rex about his son if Brody didn't leave but Brody painted a not-so-pretty picture of what would happen if Dorian did tell Rex the truth. Dorian backed off for the time being, and once she was gone, Gigi admitted that Dorian had one thing right: Gigi may never get over Rex. Regardless, Brody showed her the bank book in Shane's name and she was thrilled. She thanked him with a hug, which Rex witnessed from the front door.
At the country club, Nora admitted to Viki that she literally lost her breakfast when she found out Bo and Lindsay were marrying at the mansion. Viki wondered if some part of Nora still loved Bo and confessed that she was kind of distracted by Charlie when she first learned that Nora was dating her ex-husband. Nora was shocked and saddened to hear that Viki and Charlie were over. Viki explained that Charlie had done a lot of lying, fell off the wagon and even tried to lie about that. Dorian walked by their table to gloat about her BE takeover and offered some seemingly insincere sympathy regarding Nash's death. As Viki walked out, Delphina passed and told her not to give up on Charlie, then warned Nora that she'll find what she's looking for in a sea of blue. A few minutes later, Nora leafed through a blue folder in her briefcase and came across a letter from R.J. to Lindsay. Meanwhile, Bo assured Lindsay that they were going to be very happy and nothing would get in their way this time, just as Nora was reading the incriminating letter. "I got her. I finally got her!" Nora marveled to herself.
Realizing that they just wouldn't see eye to eye, Cole told Starr that he doesn't think things can work out between them and stormed out. Starr ran off after him, just missing her mom on the way into the diner. Blair sat down at a booth and began to cry, just as John put a hand on her shoulder. Todd lied to Marty that John is having an affair with his wife.
Thursday
Tina returned to the Palace in Mendorra with Cristian and Antonio at her side. Tina offered to give Jonas the jewels in exchange for her daughter, but he was hesitant for some reason. Jonas explained that something else needed to happen first and he'd return with further instructions. Cristian guessed that he just wanted more money, but Antonio had a feeling Jonas was working with someone else. While being held in the palace dungeon, Talia apologized to Sarah for getting them into this mess, but Sarah didn't understand how Talia was at fault. Sarah guessed that her mom was the one responsible and asked why Talia was there. "There's more to the story," Talia began.
In Angel Square, Starr tried to make Cole understand that her pregnancy was an accident and is not the miracle he thinks it is. Cole caught on that Starr already had someone in mind for the adoption — Marcie. Starr argued that Marcie and Michael would be great parents but Cole thought it had more to do with getting back at her father. After getting confirmation from Starr that she won't change her mind, he told her there's only one thing left to do and stormed off.
Gigi ran into Markko and Langston at the diner and commented on how nice it must be to be young and in love. She noted that she was there on a job search and made a negative comment about Dorian, which prompted Langston to announced that Dorian is her legal guardian. Gigi didn't seem too impressed. Gigi and Markko had a little heart to heart about young love, and Markko said he thinks it's possible for your first love to be your only love. Gigi nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, John sat down with Blair and asked what she was crying about. She explained that she dropped by Todd's place and got into an argument with him after Delphina said he was involved with another woman. The judge returned and informed John that he did some digging for a probable cause to search Todd's place and he may be able to obtain that search warrant after all. Blair was curious and offered to help John get into the house, pointing out that they were a great team when they were trying to bring down Spencer and when they were looking for Starr and Cole. John, however, didn't think it was a good idea for Blair to get involved.
While chatting with Marty in the living room, Todd really played the victim, lying about how John turned his wife and family against him. "I guess in a way we're both John McBlain's victims," he suggested. Marty couldn't imagine being kept apart from one's children and asked if she has any children of her own. Todd lied that she has none, and continued bemoaning his situation. She reached out to touch his hand, which made him slightly uncomfortable.
Nora showed Clint the file she found with R.J.'s letter in it but Clint wasn't so sure it was a good idea to expose Lindsay as a fraud on Bo's wedding day. He then proposed that she just doesn't want Bo to marry anybody. Before she could refute his statement, Matthew came in seeking help with his tie, then headed into the living room where Rex was delivering a pre-wedding toast to Lindsay and Bo. Nora ran into Nigel and asked for his advice. He said he'd have to weigh his conscience against his loved one's feelings. Judge Runyon arrived to perform the ceremony for his pal Bo and asked if everyone was ready, while Nora stood silently by with the letter. The wedding got underway and Nora held her tongue — but for how long? Lindsay and Bo stood to face each other and began to exchange their own vows. As the judge was asking Bo if he takes Lindsay to be his wife, Nora suddenly called out, "No, wait!" and produced the letter. Lindsay was terrified of whatever was in Nora's hand.
A maid took Antonio and Jonas to their quarters, while Tina reunited with her prince — Cain, dressed as someone named Helmut. Down in the dungeon, Sarah and Talia received a surprise visitor. Carlo Hesser entered the cell and told Sarah she was too young to remember him, then approached Talia with arms extended. "Hello, my darling," he cried. "Hello, Daddy," Talia said with great disdain. Back in Llanview, Todd received a surprise visitor of his own — Cole.
