One Life To Live Recaps
OLTL Week of May 19, 2008
Monday
Todd pushed Starr out of the way to get to Cole, and ended up knocking her down a flight of stairs by accident. Even though Starr was lying unconscious in the sand, Todd threw another punch at Cole.
At the Buchanan Mansion, David was disappointed to find only bourbon and no champagne around, then asked Jared if it was tacky to skip Adriana's wedding and go straight to the reception. Nigel wasn't too happy to find David in the living room wearing Asa's old robe. Jared ushered Nigel out to the foyer and explained that David figured out that Jared's not a Buchanan and is blackmailing him and Natalie. Just as Jared was telling Nigel that he's got to come clean about his fraud, Nora and Clint came bounding in. Nora's smile quickly dropped when David entered the foyer and asked for a hug. Clint ran out and returned with his rifle, but David insisted that he was there as a guest of "Jar Jar." Jared spun a tale about David Dumpster-diving in Angel Square but Clint didn't buy a word of it. Once Jared and David were alone, David went on and on about how he's going to tattle on Jared to Renee, just as Jared clocked him over the head with a glass vase.
At Adriana and Rex's wedding, the priest asked if anyone objects and Gigi stood up. Everyone turned to face Gigi ... except for Adriana. Roxy told a hesitant Gigi to say it or sit down. "Oh, skip it," she said, sitting back down in the pew. But the priest requested that Gigi voice her objection if she has one. Gigi explained that Rex was late to the wedding because he saved Shane's life. "That's it?" challenged Dorian, who wasn't prepared for what Gigi had to say next. "I love you," she announced to Rex (and a room full of wide-eyed people). "It doesn't have to change anything. I just thought you should know." Adriana told Rex she was about to do something she should have done a long time ago, then calmly walked down the aisle and faced Gigi. After a moment of silence, Adriana made a fist and punched Gigi right across the face. Shane told Adriana to keep her hands off Gigi, while Adriana publicly berated Gigi for ruining the wedding. Gigi ran off and Marcie followed, while Rex and Adriana retreated to the rectory. Lindsay pointed out to a smug Dorian that she must have wanted Gigi to stop the wedding. Dorian countered by asking just how happy Lindsay was when Jennifer married Rex.
Starr was wheeled into an ER and regained consciousness. Cole followed on a second gurney after getting punched in the head. Todd assured Blair that Starr would be fine, but Blair reminded Todd that he's responsible for putting his own daughter in the hospital. Blair requested that she see her daughter alone, but he followed her into Starr's room. When Blair could see that Todd was upsetting Starr, she had to physically remove him from the room. Meanwhile, Cole was about to tell John about Starr's pregnancy when Todd came in to apologize for the "accident" that gave Cole a concussion. John kicked Todd out and handed Cole the brochure he found, asking if there's anything Cole wants to tell him. "Does Starr's dad know about this?" Cole asked. "Not the last time I saw him," John answered.
Natalie was surprised to hear from her mom that David was in town fresh off a stint at the Bon-Jour. Viki explained that he planned to attend the wedding, then went to ask Dorian where David was. Dorian barked that David wasn't invited, then accused Viki of being happy about her "little waitress friend" busting up the wedding. Outside, Marcie tried to make Gigi see the good in letting Shane know who his real father is. Meanwhile, Adriana asked Rex if he loves Gigi. Rex admitted that he doesn't know how he feels about Gigi and that her presence after all these years has confused him. Adriana said she could feel that Rex and Gigi have a connection. Rex assured Adriana that he loves her, and that was all Adriana had to hear. Head held high, Gigi returned to the church and was about to drag out Shane when Rex returned and announced that the wedding's back on. Gigi agreed to be on her way, but declared that she has one more thing to say. Just as she was about to say it, Shane's eyes lit up and he cried, "Dad?" Everyone turned around to see Brody, clean-shaven and in his dress uniform, embrace his "son."
At the hospital, Todd got his hands on Starr's chart and started to flip through it, but was stopped by a nurse. Meanwhile, the doctor told Blair that Starr "and her baby" are going to be fine. Blair was stunned.
Tuesday
Gigi nearly passed out from the shock of seeing Brody alive at Adriana and Rex's wedding. "How? How? They told me you were dead!" she cried. "What can I say? Some of us are just hard to kill," shrugged Brody. Shane, meanwhile, was ecstatic. Brody explained that his mother lied that Gigi married someone else. He then stroked Gigi's cheek and asked what happened, but she looked back at Adriana and Rex and said, "It doesn't matter. Not anymore." Rex wanted to know what it was Gigi was going to tell him, while Shane beamed to Brody that no one would ever call him a bastard again. Langston asked Dorian who Brody is, and Dorian thought back to telling Brody to get out of town. Gigi reluctantly left with Shane and his "dad," so Adriana and Rex resumed the nuptials.
Upon discovering Jared standing over an unconscious David, Nigel warned Jared that Clint and Nora were on their way back downstairs. After receiving a call about Cole ending up in the hospital, Nora sought comfort from Clint. He suggested they have a drink in the living room, where Nigel and Jared were scrambling to get David out of sight. They dragged him behind the couch but Clint seemed a little suspicious about their broken decanter story. As Nora was drinking on the couch, a hand appeared behind her. Luckily, a phone call from John pulled Nora away, so Jared and Nigel ran over to David and stuffed a towel in his mouth. Natalie walked in and was shocked by what she saw.
Todd asked a nurse to "translate" his daughter's file for him, while Blair had just heard the doctor say Starr and her baby would be fine. Blair believed he was mistaken but Starr confirmed it, adding that she's in her third month. The doctor left them to speak alone. Starr apologized for not telling Blair sooner but said she was afraid Blair would tell Todd. Blair was sympathetic but wondered how this could have happened. Meanwhile, Todd was asking the nurse why his daughter had a sonogram, but John interrupted and chastised the nurse for leaving the files out. John went to see Starr and revealed that he knows about the baby. Starr asked John to tell Cole that the baby is going to be fine and that she loves him, so John went off to share the news. Cole explained to John that he knows better and didn't intend any of this. John blamed himself for letting Marty down but Cole said he thinks Marty would be proud. Starr and Blair shared a teary hug as they bonded about wanting their babies to be okay. Starr even shared her story about wanting to get an abortion when Todd interrupted their heart-to-heart. Blair yelled at Todd to stay away and Starr said she'd never forgive him. After they successfully got rid of him, the nurse brought in a printout from the sonogram and Blair showed Starr what her baby looks like. Meanwhile, Todd was harassing Cole again when the cops arrived and put him in handcuffs, thanks to Blair. After Todd was hauled off, John gave Blair a little supportive shoulder rub, while Starr and Cole looked at the photo of their unborn baby.
Adriana and Rex's wedding continued as Gigi and Shane brought Brody to their new home. Adriana said her vows and when the priest asked Rex to say his, he simply replied, "What she said." Once they sealed their union with a kiss, Roxy started a standing ovation. At the reception, Carlotta jumped all over Talia for hurting Antonio and led her son away. Bo and Lindsay toasted to the best man and recalled their own interrupted wedding. Bo said there's no point in dwelling on the past when they have so much to look forward to in the future. At the carriage house, Shane caught up with Brody and insisted that he spend the night. Once Shane was in bed, Brody told Gigi that he never forgot her — even if she's still in love with Rex. Meanwhile, Rex and Adriana were dancing their first dance as husband and wife, but Rex didn't look too happy. Neither did Dorian.
Nigel and Jared dragged a tied-up David to the stables and bound him to a chair. When his gag fell out, Natalie was happy to shove it back in. David was then forced to watch a little make-out session between Natalie and Fake Uncle Jared.
Wednesday
Over breakfast at La Boulaie, Addie read aloud the account of Adriana's "Bridezilla!" moment in The Sun. Starr suddenly arrived with Blair and John and shared a joyful reunion with Langston. "It's so exciting! There's going to be a brand-new Cramer in the family!" Addie enthused. Langston explained that Dorian figured out about Starr's pregnancy because she found a telltale book in Starr's bag. Everyone wanted to know where Todd was (and if he knows about the pregnancy), but Blair announced that he's in jail and will stay in the dark about Starr's condition for as long as possible. As Langston and Markko were leaving, Blair thanked them for being such good friends to Starr, then promised Starr that she would be there for her no matter what.
Meanwhile, Sarah was reading the same Sun story and remarked to Cristian that Vegas really have a predilection for punching. Sarah then said she really thought Talia and Antonio were falling for each other, which seemed to silence Cristian. She asked what was bothering him, so he finally revealed that the whole Talia/Antonio breakup is a hoax.
At the police station, Eddie bugged Talia about how she and Antonio got along at the wedding. Antonio paid Ramsey a visit under the pretense of needing financial aid for his daughter. Ramsey dropped a hot tip on some jewels arriving at Lindsay's gallery and suggested Antonio "let them get stolen" and make it look like Talia blew her security duties. Ramsey told Talia he's putting her on security detail. Antonio said he'd fill her in on the way to the gallery, but Eddie was assigned as the third wheel.
Lindsay was thrilled about the new exhibit, and even more thrilled when Bo planted a big kiss on her. She asked why he did that, and he said he'd realized at the wedding that he has a second chance with someone he really cares about. Lindsay said she feels the same way and they kissed again, just as R.J. walked in. Once Bo was gone, R.J. admitted that he was hoping for a romantic reconciliation with Lindsay. She explained that she and Bo are really going somewhere, but R.J. reminded her that she's got a big secret that Bo wouldn't be too happy to know. When Lindsay said nothing bad would happen if her secret stays secret, R.J. walked off, cryptically stating, "There's your problem." Bo later found Lindsay crying and asked if R.J. upset her. "It doesn't matter," she told him. "You're here now."
Jared called Natalie and assured her that David was tucked safely away. Just as Nora and Clint walked in the room, Jared was saying, "I love you," while Viki overheard Natalie telling someone that she loves them on the phone. "Who do you love?" she inquired. "Do I know him?" Jared pretended he was talking to a business associate, and Natalie fibbed that she was talking to Jessica. Meanwhile, a bound and gagged David struggled and fell over in his chair as a stallion looked on. Natalie arrived to remove his gag, and he demanded to know who the Buchanan heir is. Clint told Jared he planned to head to the stables, so Jared spun a story about needing him to take a conference call. Once Clint was gone, Jared retreated to the stables and started making death threats against David. While David was out earshot, Jared and Natalie agreed it's time to finally tell the truth. But first, Jared wanted to give Charlie a heads up. After witnessing a happy moment between Charlie and Viki at Llanfair, Jared urged Charlie to admit to Viki that Jared is his son. As Natalie was covering David with a horse blanket, Clint was lurking outside.
John returned Cole to the mansion and urged Cole to come clean with Nora about why he ran away. Cole nervously explained that he and Starr are having a baby. Nora was stunned but promised she would be there for him. Later, R.J. showed up, telling Nora that he has something to say about Lindsay. At La Boulaie, Starr and Blair's heart-to-heart chat was interrupted by a frantic pounding on the door.
Thursday
A bailed-out Todd pounded on the locked door of La Boulaie while Blair and Starr hovered nervously inside. Shaun arrived and told Todd that he works for Blair now. Blair let him in on the condition that he would say his piece and leave. He explained that he loves Starr and was just trying to protect her. After letting Starr hear what he had to say, Blair asked Starr to go upstairs so she could have a word alone with Todd. She went on to explain that Starr is afraid of her dad and berated Todd for harming their daughter. She warned him that he could have killed three people on the boardwalk. "Three?" he asked, confused. Blair fibbed that she meant Starr, Cole and herself, if she'd lost her daughter. Blair told him there's no forgiving what he did this time, that this is no longer his home and they're over. Todd agreed to leave, but only if he takes Sam with him.
Meanwhile, Starr read a fairytale to Sam and talked about how no one gets
happy endings. She expressed her concern over what Todd will do when he learns his little girl is pregnant.
Jared told Charlie he's going to reveal himself as a fraud, but Charlie
didn't understand the sudden change of plan. Jared explained that he and
Natalie are being blackmailed. Charlie was sympathetic and agreed to tell
Viki the truth, even though he feared that she wouldn't forgive him. Jared
reminded Charlie that Natalie gave him a second chance, so perhaps her
mother will be as forgiving.
Clint found Natalie inside the stable and asked what she was doing.
Conveniently having thrown on a pair of overalls and gloves, Natalie said
she was cleaning up and grooming Whiskey. Once she had Clint out of her
hair, she removed David's gag and traded snike remarks until Jared arrived. Jared announced that they'll soon be free to be together, and celebrated with a kiss.
Antonio and Talia arrived at Lindsay's gallery to check out the security
system. Eddie assured Lindsay that no one would be making off with the
jewels because Ramsey runs a tight ship. Lindsay confided to Bo that she'd
feel a lot better if he were still the commissioner. After faking an
argument with Talia, Antonio made her walk through a metal detector several times and while she wasn't looking, replaced the cartridge in her gun. Ramsey called and asked if what they talked about was in place. Antonio assured him that it is. Ramsey left his office and advised a young cop to call John if anything goes wrong. Bo and Lindsay left the cops with the
Mendorra ambassador, but a bunch of armed robbers stormed the gallery and knocked out Eddie. Talia threatened to shoot but her gun wasn't firing, allowing the thieves to get away with the jewels. The ambassador was beside himself, while Antonio phoned Ramsey to let him know about the heist.
R.J. teased Nora with some information about Lindsay. Nora got excited that she was about to know for sure that Lindsay faked her breakdown, but R.J. had something else to share: Lindsay was the one who provided Clint with the dirt on Asa's enemies. Nora didn't understand why R.J. was telling her this now. "I just thought you should know," he said, excusing himself as Clint arrived. Bo and Lindsay soon followed, and Nora exposed Lindsay as the informer. Clint explained his justification for using the information, while Bo was disappointed that Lindsay had kept him in the dark. Nora and Lindsay
traded scathing remarks and Lindsay stormed out.
Antonio, Eddie and Talia returned to the station and upon learning that
Talia let the robbers get away, Ramsey fired her.
Friday
While Brody went upstairs to take a shower, Shane told Gigi that he thinks
Brody is really cool. Gigi was clearly uncomfortable, which Shane pointed
out. Meanwhile, Adriana wasn't too happy to find photos of herself slugging Gigi on the cover of The Sun. The subject of Charlie came up and Rex admitted that he ended up not doing the DNA test because Roxy says Charlie's his dad. That's not saying much, Adriana offered. He believes that Charlie's his dad because Charlie says so, insisted Rex, but Adriana wanted him to have proof. After agreeing to hold on to Charlie's fork, Rex left his toothbrush on the counter and went to take a shower. Adriana glanced down at the toothbrush and suddenly had an idea. Lying that she had to go to the
store to pick up some eggs, she popped the toothbrush into a Zip-loc bag and headed over to the carriage house, where she received a very wet welcome from Shane. Adriana presented the bag to Gigi and wanted her to have Brody pretend it's his for a DNA test. Brody came downstairs in his boxer-briefs and physically removed Adriana from the apartment, while Gigi threw the bag out after her.
Charlie announced to Viki that he's been lying about his son. Viki was a
little confused and asked if this was something she really needed to know.
He asked her to listen and revealed that Rex is not his son and that he was
coerced by Roxy into lying about it. Viki was furious that Roxy would even
think of doing that, and urged Charlie to go tell Rex the truth ASAP.
Charlie was upset about how this would affect him and Viki, but advised
Charlie that Rex is his No. 1 concern right now. After Charlie walked out,
she began to cry. Meanwhile, Rex dumped the fork into the trash.
Jack returned home from school and was upset when Blair wouldn't let him go out with Todd. Starr came in and explained that he can't see his dad because it's not safe to be around Todd. Jack got all weepy but Todd said he could consult Fred the Magic Frog while they're apart. Dorian took pleasure in informing Todd that he's been evicted. Blair and Starr tried to say good-bye to Sam but Todd ripped him out of their arms.
Rex received a visit from Charlie and called him, “Dad,” but Charlie
remained silent. “That is what I'm allowed to call you isn't it?” Rex asked.
A somber-looking Charlie informed Rex that he's no longer allowed to call
him that.
Marcie and Michael were celebrating their second wedding anniversary in
Angel Square, exchanging gifts and declarations of love. Meanwhile, Adriana reached over for her ringing cell phone and the next thing she knew had collided with Todd's car. Marcie and Michael witnessed the crash and jumped to action.
