One Life To Live Recaps
OLTL Week of March 31, 2008
Monday
Bo and Nora's car crashed when Bo swerved to avoid a deer. "We're stuck,"
Nora said. Bo was convinced they would soon be found. "You need me to warm you up?" he asked kindly. Nora climbed into the back seat to try to open the back door. That didn't work, but Nigel had packed some snacks, including wine and some blankets. Nora said she wanted Rodi's bacon cheeseburger but Nigel's brie would do in a pinch. The two began reminiscing (Lindsay was right!) about being snowed in the house in 1996. There was an adorableflashback of Bo and Nora winning a swing dance contest. Nora said that back
then they did have it all. "For a while," she said wistfully. Lindsay and
Clint found them laughing and drinking in the car. They all piled into
Clint's car and headed to the cabin.
At a diner, Nigel and Matthew had some soup. Matthew was frustrated that they couldn't get in touch with Bo or Nora, but Nigel told him not to worry. Lindsay and Clint arrived at the diner. Lindsay kept hinting that Bo and
Nora were up to something, but Clint wasn't listening.
Natalie slapped Jared when he started kissing her. "I have something to tell
you and nothing is going to stop me this time," he told a surprised Natalie.
Jared told Natalie he wasn't her uncle. Natalie didn't believe Jared. Jared
began to explain everything. "I'm just plain old Jared Banks. I'm a fraud. I
can't pretend anymore," he said. Natalie slapped him again. Jared explained Nigel's involvement and that David Vickers was Asa's actual son. "You are what I didn't plan on," Jared said. He went on to explain how the option to become Asa's son "just fell on my lap. I didn't think I deserved you. I can't get over you, Natalie." Jared said he'd give up everything about being a Buchanan to be with Natalie. "Please don't hit me," he said. "You are the most disgusting person I have ever met," Natalie said. "I know you still have feelings for me," Jared insisted. That conversation ended with Bo, Clint, Nora and Lindsay entered the cabin. "There is something I need all of you to hear," Jared told the group. Natalie looked surprised as did the other Buchanans.
Blair rattled off all of the things Todd had done to hurt his relationship
with Starr — cutting off her cell phone, giving her a bodyguard. Todd asked his wife for advice. "How am I going to get through to her," he said. Blair assured her husband that "you can fix this relationship." Todd didn't think he could. "Do you trust her," Blair asked. "When it comes to Thornhart, no I don't," he said. Blair suggested Todd and Starr have a soft, gentle conversation. Blair reminded Todd that Starr is her daughter too and he couldn't be making decisions about Starr's future without consulting her. Todd headed upstairs to talk to his daughter.
Langston walked in on Starr and her pregnancy test. Starr admitted she and
Cole had sex. Langston questioned Starr on why she had lied to her. "Do
you think you are really pregnant," Langston told a terrified Starr.
Langston couldn't believe they had sex. "We made love," Starr corrected her friend. A stunned Langston kept asking questions, questions that Starr
didn't want to answer. Starr admitted not feeling well in the morning. "No
one can know about this, Langston, no one can know," a desperate Starr told
her best friend. "Do you have a plan," Langston asked. Starr asked Langston
to leave. "I want to be alone for this," she said her eyes welling up with
tears. Starr headed into to her bathroom ready to take the test. There was a knock on her door. The test fell into the toilet. Starr ran to get the box.
She held the box behind her back when Todd entered the room. "Don't I get any privacy here," Starr told her father. Todd asked if something was wrong. Starr covered as she clutched the pregnancy test box in her hand. Todd said he wanted to work things out and that Starr would understand more when she had children of her own "a million years from now." Starr looked sick as the camera panned to the box behind her back.
Lindsay nagged Clint to drive faster in the snow. Lindsay was worried that
something was going to happen between Nora and Bo as they were in a car together. Clint assured Lindsay that he doesn't worry that Nora and Bo would fall back in love again. Lindsay was convinced that Bo and Nora would talk about old times "and you know where that leads," she said.
Cole assured Markko he was not going to pursue seeing Starr. Renee ran into
Cole at the diner and the two had dinner. "Mr. Manning won," he told Mrs. Buchanan. Renee was compassionate. Markko called Langston, but she couldn't
talk. Blair overheard Langston on the phone. "Oh you startled me," Langston
said. Blair told Langston not to stop by Starr's room "because Starr's dad
is going there to have a talk with her." Langston looked paler than usual.
Blair began asking how Starr is doing with the home schooling plan.
Langston wanted to get back upstairs. "If you know something about Starr you have to tell me," Blair insisted.
Tuesday
Starr told Todd it was too late for them to fix their relationship. Todd said he didn't want Starr to screw up her future because of the mistakes she "makes now." Starr looked down and the camera panned to the pregnancy test. Todd said he would never let her get back together with Cole, but he did say that she could go back to school. However, he asked Starr to promise him not to make any contact with Cole while she was there. If she didn't promise, Todd vowed to "send Cole to jail for shooting Miles."
Todd left Starr's room. "I'm trying," he said at the door. Starr shut her door and headed back to her bathroom. Langston rushed in. Starr reported that her father was letting her go back to school. She begged Langston to buy her another pregnancy test, as she had dropped the first one in the toilet. Langston agreed and gave her friend a hug.
Blair questioned Langston about what was up with Starr. "She needs your help," Langston advised. Blair told Langston that she could get Todd to back off. Blair then asked Langston for details. Langston tried to get out of the living room. "I've said too much," Langston insisted. Dorian interrupted and told Blair to stop badgering the girl. Langston noted that Dorian never tried to control her. "She's been a great foster mother," Langston concluded. Dorian confessed that she had made a mistake about Paris. Blair didn't know about Paris; she was hinting at the time Dorian hired a stalker. "Let's not go there," Dorian said. The two women agreed that they both were having trouble with their daughters. Blair said Adriana should be able to marry whomever she wanted. "I've learned my lesson," Dorian claimed. "I wish Todd would learn his," Blair said wistfully. Todd returned to the living room and reported back. "It's a start," he said.
Adriana reminded Dorian what she had to do for her while she was in Paris. "Otherwise you are down one daughter," Adriana threatened. "If Rex is Shane's father, it will ruin everything," Adriana added. Dorian didn't understand. Adriana didn't believe Gigi's story about Shane's father and demanded that Dorian track down the man Gigi claims is Shane's dad.
Rex dropped by Viki's to see Charlie. He wasn't there, but Shane was. Shane showed Rex his art project. Gigi came down the stairs. Rex said he had just dropped Adriana at the airport. Rex wanted to make sure everything was okay with Gigi. Rex asked about Gigi and Adriana's little talk. He then asked about the Jared-Gigi kiss. "Is that why you are so ticked, because Jared and I were fighting over you?" Rex said. The two cleared the air. Shane came downstairs. Rex agreed to bring Shane to his softball practice, despite Gigi's attempt to stop it. Rex said that he had sworn to himself to be there for his children, because he hadn't had a father when he was growing up. Gigi got teary. "There's a weird look on your face," Rex said. Gigi covered. Rex's cell phone rang and it was Adriana. "Mom, I'm ready for bed," Shane said loud enough for Adriana to hear on the other end of Rex's phone. "Rex, where are you?" Adriana asked. Rex looked exasperated. Rex said he was at Llanfair hoping to see Charlie. Adriana passed on her regards on to Natalie and Viki "and of course Gigi." The two said goodbye. Rex apologized to Gigi for that awkwardness and left. Gigi looked distraught. Should she tell Rex the truth about Shane?
At the cabin, Clint, Bo, Nora and Lindsay walked in on Jared and Natalie.
Jared was about to tell them the truth — that he wasn't a Buchanan — but then the lights went back on. Jared tried to start his talk again, but Clint said they needed to settle in before there were any announcements. Jared left the living room, leaving Natalie and Nigel together. "I know, Nigel. I know that Jared is not a Buchanan and that David Vickers is grandpa's son," Natalie revealed. Nigel looked down and sighed. "It's not like you to lie to us," she said. Nigel began to explain, or he tried to. He started by saying he was upset about losing "Mr. Buchanan and the image of David Vickers swooping down on this family like a vulture." Nigel added that Jared had turned out to be an okay guy. Nigel got through to Natalie by saying that Jared was a good businessman and that he managed to help Renee out of her grief. "I've grown rather fond of Mr. Jared," he added. Natalie agreed but stopped at calling Jared a saint. Clint and Bo joined them. Jared began to talk to them. He started by saying, "It's been an honor being a part of the family." Natalie interrupted. "No Jared, I'm going to be the one to tell them," she said. Jared's jaw dropped. Natalie stood up. Natalie said she wanted to stay on the project with Jared as equals. Natalie added, as she made eye contact with Jared, that "it wasn't a good time." Jared got it. Natalie wanted to keep his secret a secret. Clint and Bo headed off to bed. Nigel thanked Natalie and left. Jared thanked Natalie but she assured him she had only done that to save her family. "There is no you and I," Natalie said quickly as she left the room. Nigel caught up with Jared. "She hates me and I've fallen in love with her," Jared admitted.
Bo apologized for not thinking of inviting Lindsay up to the cabin. He didn't think Clint was worried about the Bo/Nora ride up to the cabin. "I think you were the one, Lindsay," Bo winked. Bo asked Lindsay to please get over her vendetta against Nora. Lindsay and Nora ran into each other while the Buchanans were in a mini board meeting. Nora denied she was drunk when Lindsay suggested she have a cup of coffee. Nora wondered where everyone would sleep. Lindsay was surprised to learn that Nora and Clint would not be sharing a bed.
Wednesday
Starr had a nightmare where she returned to school and everyone was staring at her because she was visibly pregnant. Langston woke her up and told her everything would be okay. Starr rushed out of bed and proceeded to throw up.
Once at school, Cole and Starr did their best to avoid each other. When Zach made a disparaging remark about Starr, Cole immediately got into a fight and Starr screamed for him to stop. Langston had to hold her back. Later, Starr asked Markko if Cole was okay. Langston gave Cole a napkin to mop up the blood on his face. Langston reminded Cole that "Zach's not the man you are mad at." Cole told his friend he couldn't very well beat up Mr. Manning. Markko thought Starr looked a little pale. Starr said that was because she had been locked up in her room. Starr ran to the restroom to throw up again.
Earlier, John told Cole that Starr was going back to school that day. Cole promised John that he wouldn't talk to her. Cole headed off to school and John entered the squad room. Talia made small talk with John. She tried to explain to Antonio that she has feelings for him, not John. "That's how it started out, us working together," Antonio reminded her and walked away. John cornered Antonio and insisted they talk. He demanded Antonio tell him why he wants him to stay away from Talia. "Why should I trust you with Talia?...Stay the hell away from Talia, John," Antonio barked as he walked away. John and Talia met up at the diner. Talia told him that Ramsey thought they made a good team.
Nash said goodbye to Bree and Jessica. Jessica wanted to go with Nash to Napa, but he said it wouldn't be worth the money. Nash accused Jessica of being jealous of Sarah. He added that Jessica was not that supportive of his passion for the vineyard. Nash tried to explain that if he's not there when the wine is ready, then they have to wait another year. He added that he wanted something for himself that wasn't a part of Buchanan Enterprises. Nash arrived at the diner and met a representative of his investor, who handed him an envelope of cash and had Nash sign some papers. Nash grabbed Sarah and the two got into a limo to take them to the airport. Sarah gave Cris a goodbye kiss and he told her to have a good time. Sarah and Nash drank champagne in first class on the plane. Sarah admitted that she was addicted to taking risks, but most Buchanans aren't.
Ramsey brought a tray of food upstairs to a mystery person. Back at work, he called Talia into his office and called her the best female cop he'd ever worked with. Ramsey asked if she didn't want to work with John. He said that he'd noticed the tension between Antonio and Talia and wondered if it might be caused by her working partnership with John. Talia said she would never dream of asking to change her working situation. Ramsey then called Antonio into his office and shared that Talia didn't say it was necessary to split up the John-Talia team. Antonio looked disappointed.
Thursday
John accused Ramsey of hiding something. Ramsey didn't blink an eye and left John's office. Talia returned to the station and began arguing with Antonio in front of Ramsey, who dragged them all to a back alley. John entered a warehouse. "Stop right there," some thug ordered. John had cash for him. "You are not Locero," the bad guy noticed. John gave him money for the drugs and then the other cops surrounded the thug. The arrest was made. Ramsey was very pleased with his team. John remembered something about the drugs. "You didn't need five people on this bust," John barked. Unfazed, Ramsey asked Antonio to search John for drugs. (Apparently that is police procedure in a drug bust.) Sure enough, Antonio found something in John's pocket.
While they waited for Dorian, Charlie and Roxy reminisced about their overlapping lives in Atlantic City. Jared called Charlie with this tidbit — "Natalie knows the truth that I am not a Buchanan." Charlie was stunned.
Viki arrived and Charlie said to himself, "It's got to come from me." A guilty-looking Charlie tried to cover when Viki approached him. Dorian broke up the threesome and made a snide remark about Viki being out of her waitress uniform. Roxy thought Viki should help plan the wedding. "She's the classiest person here," Roxy noted. Viki joined the planning group. Roxy rattled off some very tacky ideas. "Oh, heaven help us," Dorian sighed. Viki suggested they focus on the menu. Roxy, her mouth filled with food, had an idea for a caterer. Charlie got a call. Dorian applauded Viki for getting him a job at Buchanan Enterprises. Viki clarified that Charlie got the job on his own. Dorian got snarky. Viki wondered why Dorian was all of a sudden so pro Rex-Adriana getting married. Dorian got very defensive that Viki would assume, or presume, to "know the workings of my mind." Dorian claimed that Charlie helped her grow to like Rex. Then she got a few digs in to Charlie (poor Viki remained clueless) about "your son Rex."
Dorian and Roxy left, and Dorian placed a cryptic call. Viki got a call — it was Natalie. Viki said that Charlie wanted to tell her something very important. Natalie told Jared about that conversation. Charlie said he wishes he could ask Viki to marry him.
At the cabin, Jared asked Natalie, "How long do you intend to keep my secret?" Natalie said she didn't want it to come out while "BE is still under attack." But she didn't give Jared a timetable as to when she might spill the beans. Bo and Clint interrupted them. Clint explained BE business to Matthew, who immediately asked Jared to play a video game. They left and the brothers asked Natalie, "Are you keeping something from us?" Clint wondered if Natalie was feeling threatened by her "Uncle Jared." Clint said that Jared has "exceeded all our expectations." Natalie got all worked up and accused Clint of not wanting her to work at BE anymore and stormed out. Lindsay and Nora entered the tense living room. Clint got a call from Phyllis; apparently there was some problem in the main office. "I think I know who is behind this," Clint said. Clint said everyone had to head back to Llanview because there was another planned takeover in the works. Lindsay asked Clint for "a name." Clint didn't want to share it and didn't want any help from her. Lindsay thought Clint was a fool not to want her help. She then hinted that something had been rekindled between Nora and Bo and that she and Clint needed to join forces to put that fire out. Everyone packed up with the exception of Jared, Natalie and Nigel. "Just the two of us," Jared noted. "Don't you need to pack?" Natalie replied.
Earlier, Nora and Lindsay were stuck in the living room together. They squabbled about what kind of music to listen to. "Everything is bothering you," Lindsay told Nora. Nora claimed she was just trying to work, and demanded that Lindsay listen carefully to the following statement: "Nora does not have conflicted feelings about Clint and Bo." She went on to say she was very happy that Clint and Bo were working together. Lindsay repeated her belief that Nora is not comfortable being up at the cabin with the two brothers, and she accused Nora and Bo of having a crush on each other. Nora asked Lindsay, "Why do you have such an obsession about Bo and me? Do you want us to get back together?" Things got very nasty between the women — Nora accused Lindsay of murder; Lindsay reminded Nora she married a murderer — but the carping stopped when Jared and Matthew came in to play a game. Matthew came across some old photo albums, but Jared didn't want to look. "It bothers me.
You are a Buchanan. You should be in the albums," Matthew reasoned. Jared looked down. Natalie walked in and overhead Matthew and Jared talking about being a Buchanan.
Friday
Natalie told Jared and Nigel that Jared's Buchanan secret would stay between them. When the others left the room, Jared left a message for Charlie, begging him not to tell Vikki. Natalie came back in wanting to know who he was talking to. She soon realized that Alex knew the truth, but Nigel let her know she wouldn't say anything — he had paid her off. Natalie wondered about Pamela, and asked if Jared really knew her. They talked about the Buchanans, and how they both had wanted to be a part of the family. Jared admitted he didn't yet have everything he wanted. After she left, Nigel told Jared he could not date Natalie while he was pretending to be her uncle. Later, Natalie confided to Jared that she had never seen her father act the way he had in the meeting. Jared thought Clint reminded him of Asa. Natalie insisted that wasn't the case. Jared helped Nigel load up the car, and Natalie called Phyllis and told her to set up a meeting for her with Pamela.
Roxy interrupted Charlie and Viki's meal to tell them about her idea for the Adriana/Rex rehearsal dinner. Viki thought it was a good idea, but they had to wait for Nash to get back before they could discuss it. Roxy left them, and Charlie continued with what he was saying to Viki. They were interrupted again by Markko, who said he had a call. Roxy walked over and told Viki that she thought Charlie was going to propose. Meanwhile, on the phone, Jared told Charlie that Natalie didn't know he was a Banks, and that she planned to keep Jared's identity a secret. When he went back to the table, he fumbled around trying to figure out what to say. Roxy jumped in and told him to ask her to marry him already. Charlie was taken aback. Viki wanted to know if that was what he was talking about.
Starr begged Shaun to leave her alone, to no avail. Markko asked where Langston was, and Starr, thinking back to asking Langston to get her a pregnancy test, told him she should be there soon. Langston walked in and gave Starr the test when Markko went into the back. Meanwhile, back at the house, Blair told Todd she was happy with the way he was easing up on Starr. Blair then asked about Ramsey. Todd thought Ramsey was going to leave them alone. When Langston and Starr came home, Todd searched Langston's bag and found the bag containing the pregnancy test...but Starr told him there were tampons in the bag and he agreed not to look. Relieved, they both went upstairs. While waiting for the test results, Starr told Langston how much her friendship meant to her. Then they looked at the test and screamed, "Oh, my God!"
Layla showed Dorian the design for Adriana's wedding dress. Dorian was surprised to see the change in design. Both agreed she had changed it because of Gigi. Dorian told Layla that nothing would stand in the way of Adriana's wedding, including Gigi. Dorian made a call and asked someone to find out about the man Gigi claimed was Shane's dad.
Ramsey thought back to slipping the drugs into John's pocket, but Antonio found nothing. John and Talia left. Later, back at the precinct, John wondered if Antonio knew about the drugs being planted on him. Talia laid into Antonio and he stalked off, saying he was done. Meanwhile, John accused Ramsey of planting drugs on him. Ramsey hinted that John wanted Talia.
Rex showed up to take Shane to baseball practice. Gigi was upset, and Rex wondered why she got so mad every time he did something for Shane. Shane came back downstairs asking where his new glove was, and Rex suddenly realized he must have recently had a birthday. Gigi rushed Shane out of the room, and explained to Rex that he didn't miss Shane's birthday. It was a while ago, and he just hadn't used the glove yet. Gigi told him she would take Shane to practice. Then she got a call from work and realized she needed to go there, so she let Rex take Shane.
After practice, Rex and Shane went to the diner. Rex asked when his birthday was, and Shane said he had to promise not to tell him mom that he told him. Meanwhile, Todd showed up at Viki's, and Gigi told him she didn't want to see him. Todd asked why she was there.
