One Life To Live Recaps

OLTL Week of October 12, 2009

Monday

Matthew told his stunned family that he would be having the surgery tomorrow. Greg told them Dr. Nance was an excellent neurosurgeon. Greg confirmed that he had taught Dr. Nance the surgery. Destiny didn't want anyone but Greg to operate on Matthew. Nora wanted to know who has the better track record. "I do," Greg said, but refused to be guilted into doing the surgery. Nora doubted that it was in Matthew's best interest to have a second rate surgeon, and almost went down on her knees to beg Greg to do the surgery. Greg refused. Nora ran off and Bo followed. Rachel and Destiny stood by a serious Matthew while Nora wept in Bo's arms. "How did this happen?" Nora cried. "We lost," Bo said with a heavy heart. "There has to be a way to stop this,"
Nora cried. "Maybe there is," Bo said. Nora and Bo told Matthew they weren't going to fight him anymore. Bo said they would take the BE jet. "Sounds great," Matthew said happily.

Rachel found Greg and explained that she understood. "I know you won't change your mind," she said. Rachel asked Greg to please assist Dr. Nance. "I just want you there," she said. "I'm not God," Greg declared. "Do it for me," Rachel said and then apologized. "My brother is in love with you," Greg added.

At Dorian's reception, David explained to the press that he had stepped aside when Dorian found her true self with Amelia. Nick thanked David for his words. Oliver confirmed that he was gay, and wondered why Amelia and Nick were using a straight woman to get what they wanted. Nick wondered who would tell Llanview that Dorian was straight. Oliver claimed he'd stay out of it. Kyle kept Oliver and Nick from getting into an argument. "He overheard something he thought I should know," Kyle tried to explain. "People get married for all kinds of reasons," Amelia stated. Oliver got a call and had to leave. "Oliver, are you with us or against us?" Amelia asked as Oliver left. Kyle kept defending Oliver to Amelia. "I want Oliver contained," Amelia said. "I hear he's crazy about you," Amelia said to Kyle. "Get him to see how important this is," Nick begged Kyle. Kyle didn't want to manipulate Oliver that way.

Jack was watching TV with Noelle and demanded that he be taken to the hospital. Dorian called with the news that Blair would be alright. Jack got on the phone. "Aunt Dorian is a lesbian? When did that happen?" Jack asked Noelle after he saw a clip of Dorian's press conversation.

Ross called Elijah saying he wasn't going anywhere until he found his child. Ross snuck into Todd's house and rushed upstairs. Ross grabbed Téa's briefcase and almost made it out of the house but Noelle caught him. Ross explained that what was in the briefcase was his. "I need something in here. I'm not leaving without it," Ross said. Ross and Noelle started to fight and Jack knocked him out, then they tied him up. "You know this man?" Noelle asked. Jack said there was some kind of secret between Ross and Blair.

Oliver arrived, and Ross woke up. Oliver brought Ross in for questioning but couldn't find any priors for Ross. Ross called up Elijah. "I got arrested trying to sTéal Téa's briefcase," he explained. "Wherever she's got my kid — the answer has to be in the briefcase," Ross added.

Téa rushed into the waiting room relieved that Blair was okay but not happy to hear that Todd was with her. Dorian prevented Téa from going into Blair's room.

Blair had something big to tell Todd about Téa "She's lying," Blair said, struggling to speak. Téa demanded to see Blair. Dorian accused Téa of attempted murder. "Téa has been keeping some big secrets," Dorian said. Téa assured Starr that she had not meant to hurt Blair. Téa wanted to apologize to Blair. "You are not human. You are garbage," Dorian declared. Téa refused to leave. Blair kept trying to tell Todd something but Todd wanted her to stay calm.

Dorian told Starr about Téa's other husband -- Ross Rayburn. "The man who kidnapped Jack and me," Starr said, horrified. Téa walked into Blair's room and ordered "Blair, don't say another word.” Starr rushed in. Téa tried to put words into Blair's mouth but Todd wouldn't hear it. Blair couldn't remember much of what Téa and she had argued about. "I have a bad headache," Blair explained. "What's wrong with her?" Todd asked. Dorian said slight amnesia was common with concussions. "She can't remember what happened before she was pushed out of the window," Dorian explained. Téa looked very relieved. Dorian predicted there would be a trial when Blair's memory came back. Blair fretted that she wouldn't get her memory back. "It had something to do with Todd," Blair insisted.

Todd dragged Téa out and wanted to talk to her. "I did not push Blair out of the window," Téa insisted. Todd demanded to know what Blair couldn't remember.

Tuesday

Blair was frustrated that she couldn't remember what she and Téa had talked about before her fall. John paid her a visit. Dorian explained that Téa had damaged Blair's brain. "What is the Llanview police department going to do about it?" Dorian asked. John told them there was no evidence to say it was a crime. John congratulated Dorian on "the big day." "What big day?" Blair asked. Dorian changed the subject. "I'm tired of seeing you in here," John said as he kissed Blair on her forehead. Dorian warned her that she may never get that memory back.

Todd was furious with Téa. "Is today's secret worse than yesterday's?" Todd asked. Téa asked Todd to please listen. "I promise," he said begrudgingly. "I'll tell you everything," she said. Todd accused Téa of turning things around so it would appear that Téa was the victim. Téa reminded him that Blair had once pushed her out of the window. Téa recalled the run-in with Blair. "Blair threatened me," Téa said. Todd wasn't sure if he could ever believe Téa again. Todd insisted he never lied to her about how much he loved her, adding that he was worried that his children's mother might die when Blair fell. She didn't understand what it was like being a
parent, Todd said, and admitted he had jumped the gun when he kicked her out. Téa didn't think it was too late for them to reconcile. Todd wasn't sure, and asked Téa for a reason to stay with her. "I'm all out of reasons," she said as she walked out the door.

Gigi and Schuyler talked about the incident at the movies. "Weird how we all wound up at the same movie," Schuyler noted. Schuyler wondered if it really was a coincidence that they were all there together, and relayed Kim’s suspicion that Gigi followed them. "She thought you appeared jealous," Schuyler said. Gigi denied it. Schuyler didn't think another date was in the cards. "There isn't anything you can't tell me," Gigi assured him. Kim showed up at Rodi's and grabbed Schuyler's arm. "What are you doing?" Schuyler asked. "I am trying to help you out," Kim explained, and insisted that Gigi was into him. Rex watched as Kim and Gigi argued over Schuyler, then grabbed Gigi and took her away to talk.

Natalie charged into Marty's office during a session anxious to talk about John McBain. "He's out of control," Natalie said, adding that John was railroading Jared. Natalie wanted Marty to get John to back off. John knocked on Marty's door and was surprised to see them. Natalie told him that
she was there to see if Marty could get John to leave her husband alone. John urged Natalie to get Jared to tell the truth. Natalie stormed out. "It's clear that you two have pretty strong feelings about each other," Marty observed. John agreed they had a lot of history. Then he and Marty had sex in her office.

Eli showed up at the precinct as Ross' attorney. "The briefcase may be my only hope in finding my kid," Ross said. Eli spoke to Oliver and asked for his name and badge number. "I can't sue you without a name," Eli said to a surprised Oliver. Eli badgered Oliver with questions. Ross heard that Blair fell out of a window and immediately ran, make that galloped, out of the station with the police following him. Oliver knew exactly where Ross was going.

Ross rushed to Blair's bedside. She saw the handcuffs. "Are you alright?" she asked. Blair told Ross what happened. Ross rushed out, saying he needed to find Téa, but was stopped at the door by Oliver. Oliver told Blair that Ross had attacked a police officer, then subdued Ross with a stun gun.

Alone at the police station, Eli was alone with Téa's briefcase and was tempted to grab it.

Stacy wondered if Rex and Gigi were having problems. "Kim's imagining things," Rex insisted. "Gigi doesn't have a problem with Kim and Schuyler going out together," he added. Rex assured Stacy that Gigi wouldn't be standing in the way of Schuyler and Kim. Rex reminded Stacy that they weren't friends. Rex wanted the paternity test now.

Wednesday

Schuyler accused Stacy of wanting him to date Kim to free up Rex for her. "You set me up," he said. Kim claimed that Gigi was totally into him. Schuyler advised Stacy to get over the Rex thing. "Move on," he barked. He was missing a chance to move in on Gigi, Stacy warned. Schuyler explained that he didn't think he had a chance with Gigi.

Rex begged Gigi to talk to him about her feelings for Schuyler. Gigi denied being angry at Kim because she's going out with Schuyler. "I'm jealous," Gigi admitted, but "it doesn't mean I want to be with him." Gigi said she was worried about him as a friend but Rex didn't believe her. Rex demanded to know if Gigi had feelings for Schuyler. "Yes," she confessed, but added she didn't know if she was attracted to Schuyler. Rex kept peppering her with questions. Gigi begged Rex to drop the subject. Gigi brought up Rex having had sex with Stacy again, explaining that Stacy and the baby are on her mind 24/7 and she can't get over it. Gigi said Schuyler helps her when "I'm about to lose it. I need him." Rex wondered if he should leave her alone until she sorts out her feelings for Schuyler. Gigi didn't want to take a break but wanted to sort things out together. "We belong together," she insisted. "I still believe in us. Do you?" she asked.

Jessica was angry at Delphina for telling her that Nash was trying to get to her. "And he still is," Delphina added. Jessica introduced Brody to Delphina. "I should take you in for fraud," he said. Delphina proved that she was a psychic, then urged Brody to stay close to Jessica. Delphina kept getting messages. "The person who killed Wayne Landers is going to kill again," Delphina announced, and said she kept seeing images of Nash's death and Jared Banks. Jared, Natalie and Charlie walked into the living room. Delphina's parting words were to Jared: "Tell your wife," she urged. Jared admitted to Natalie that he did know Wayne Landers. "I did meet him in prison and I've been working with him," Jared said. Natalie's eye grew wide.

Eli called Ross and told him he was very close to the briefcase. "Turn yourself in ASAP," Eli ordered Ross. Eli went after the briefcase but a cop stopped him.

Oliver used his stun gun on Ross over the protestations of Blair and Dorian, then hauled Ross back to the station. Eli and Ross agreed they had to get that briefcase. Ross thought they should just snap the briefcase open. "She can't keep a child away from its father," Ross said.

Téa showed up at Todd's house and ran into Jack, who asked her if she pushed Blair out a window. Jack pointed out that Téa is "fierce," but said he didn’t think she’d have pushed his mom out a window on purpose. Téa swore she'd never do anything to hurt Blair, and told Jack she'll always love him, and never lie to him. Jack asked her if she was still his step-mom. Téa said it was time for Jack to go to bed. Jack went upstairs. "So is this how it's going to be?" Téa asked Todd
awkwardly, then ran upstairs to get her things. When Téa couldn't find her briefcase, Jack told them that some guy broke in and tried to steal it, and the cops had taken it as evidence. Ross told Eli his only hope was to get into that briefcase. Téa tried to retrieve the briefcase but Oliver wanted to keep it as evidence. Téa said she wasn't accusing Ross of theft, so Oliver gave her the briefcase. Eli headed after Téa.

Amelia and David showed up outside Blair's room looking for Dorian. They had to wait because Blair had enough visitors. Amelia looked for a place to put out flyers. David told Blair she looked horrible, and Dorian introduced Amelia as her campaign manager ... and fiancée. Blair's jaw dropped. Dorian confessed that she needed an edge to win the election and began to tell Blair about the scam. When Viki interrupted Dorian changed the tone of the conversation and announced that she was gay and very much in love with Amelia. Blair was stunned. Viki said she had come to see Blair, who said she was feeling "not too bad." She explained that she couldn't remember what had happened before she fell. "It was something big," Blair thought.

Viki asked David if he had anything to do "with this stunt." David didn't answer her question directly.

Thursday

Rachel was happy to learn that Greg would be watching Matthew's surgery. When Greg reminded her that Matthew could die, Rachel said she was more worried for Bo if that should happen. "He's the one who could crack," Rachel pointed out. Rachel and Greg stood face to face but she pulled away.

Matthew, Bo and Nora boarded the BE jet. "This is the best trip of my life," Matthew grinned, and assured his parents that he would walk again. Nora tried to explain that they had done everything to protect him. Destiny came on board bearing gifts, including new pair of basketball shoes, and hugged Matthew goodbye.

When Nora fretted to Bo that they had just made the worse decision in their lives, Bo offered to call the whole thing off. "The alternative is even worse," Nora pointed out, and thanked Bo for being brave for her.

Rachel called Nora with the news that Greg would be sitting in for the surgery. "I don't know what to say," Nora replied. Rachel wondered what was going on when she learned that Nora, Bo and Matthew were about to take off. "And you didn't bother to tell me?" she asked. Nora promised to explain. Rachel wanted to join them on the plane. "It's best you don't come," Nora said, begging her daughter to trust her. Nora hung up on a confused Rachel, who was upset about what Nora and Bo had done. Rachel worried that her mom would always think of her as the family screw up. Greg assured her that wasn't true. "Why would my mother ditch me?" she asked. "You are a beautiful woman, not just outside," he observe. The two began to kiss.

Destiny read to Shaun and demanded that he wake up. She told him about giving Matthew the sneakers,and confided that she wanted to tell Matthew how she felt about him. When she shook Shaun, he woke up!

In Jessica's bedroom, Brody told Jessica the police didn't have a choice but to release Jared. "Move in with me," he pleaded. Jessica reminded him that she had a daughter. Brody was pretty sure Jared was behind the murder of Wayne. "Jared Banks is not a killer," Jessica insisted. Brody reminded her that Jared was a con artist, adding that the stalker/killer was still out there. He thought it might be an inside job. Jessica agreed to stay with him, but when Brody opened her suitcase, they found Jessica's dress and Bess' jacket. Jessica said she had thrown them away and freaked when she saw them again. She wondered if Bess or Tess had killed Wayne. Brody assured her that she was integrated. "You didn't do any of this," he said, and suggested that someone was trying to frame Jessica. Brody called John with news that there was some evidence. John gave Marty a goodbye kiss and headed to Llanfair.

Jared admitted to Natalie that he had lied to her and the police: He had met Wayne Landers in prison. "I've been working with him," he confessed. A wide-eyed Natalie tried to understand. "I knew Wayne here after prison," Jared elaborated. "You knew Wayne Landers when he was terrorizing my sister? Look at me," she demanded. "Were you behind all of this?" Natalie promised she'd still have Jared's back but wanted to know the whole history of Jared and Wayne. "It's complicated," Jared began. Natalie began to cry. "This isn't you," Natalie said, shaking her head. Jared said he
had told Landers to beat him up and had lied to everyone about everything, but wouldn't answer when Natalie asked him if he had
murdered Landers. "I don't know you at all," she told her husband. Jared got a message on his cell phone. "Don't talk," it read. Natalie tried to grab the phone from Jared and he got another message. "Buchanan lodge. Now," it said.

When Brody showed Natalie the suitcase with Tess and Bess' clothing, she didn't think Jared was responsible. Brody said that
someone was going to a lot of trouble making Jessica look as though she were slipping. John arrived and Natalie tried not to cry in front of him. John wondered where Jared was, and tried to get
Natalie to open up about what she and Jared had talked about. John asked Natalie to help her "help you and Jared. I'll do whatever I can." Natalie told John that Jared had confessed.

Jared arrived at the Buchanan lodge. "You?" he said to a mystery person.

When Nora told Bo about the call with Rachel, he was surprised to hear that Greg was willing to watch the operation. Nora worried she had hurt Rachel's feelings. Then Bo and Nora confessed to Matthew that they weren't going to Seattle, and his surgery wasn't going to be tomorrow. Matthew was stunned.

Friday

Matthew accused his parents of kidnapping when he realized that they aren't going to Seattle. They explained to him that they have the legal right as his parents to take him somewhere where his court order doesn't apply. "We're not going home," Bo informed him. Nora explained that she'd done some research on Dr. Nance and learned that he's only performed the procedure Matthew needs twice, and neither was successful. They announced that they'd found a new school for Matthew ... in London. Matthew was livid. Bo argued that they just can't risk him dying on the operating table and pointed out that he'll have plenty of family around him in London. Nora pleaded with their son to at least give the new school a chance. Privately, she confided to Bo that she fears Matthew may never trust them again.

Destiny was thrilled to see that her brother was awake and remarked that Rachel will be so happy to see him. Meanwhile, things were getting hot and heavy between Greg and Rachel ... until Greg received a call from Destiny with the news about Shaun. Greg was in disbelief and asked Destiny to phone their parents. Mr. and Mrs. Evans arrived and were thrilled to see Shaun, who couldn't believe that he'd been comatose for a month. Everyone wondered where Greg was. As they were getting ready to leave his suite, Greg pointed out to Rachel that they'll need to talk about what just happened, but Rachel just wanted to get to the hospital. When Greg finally showed up at Shaun's hospital room, Shaun thanked his brother for saving his life. Greg said Shaun has nothing to thank him for because it was his fault, but Mr. and Mrs. Evans put a stop to his negative rant. Destiny found Rachel hovering outside the room and asked if she planned to go in and see Shaun. Mrs. Evans said Rachel had been there every day to visit him, just as Rachel finally came in. Shaun told "the girl he loves" he plans to take her out on that date he promised her.

Blair awoke from a confusing dream to find Todd keeping watch over her. He stroked her hair and told her she'd be fine. Todd surprised her with a visit from Jack, who came bearing many get-well presents. He excitedly talked about how cool it was that his mom survived her crash and recommended that she consider stunt work for a living. "Nobody's mom ever goes through a window and lives!" he marveled, then asked if she wants him to hate Téa. Blair said she doesn't want her son to hate anyone. Meanwhile, a shirtless Elijah tried to distract Téa so he could get into her room at the Palace and snatch her briefcase. "My client just wants to see his kid," Elijah argued, pointing out that they're both people who pull every trick there is to get what they want. "The only difference is, my tricks work," she gloated, then grabbed his towel and tossed him into the hallway. Meanwhile, Todd revealed to Blair that he thinks he has a solution to her memory lapse: Marty.

Natalie revealed to John, Jessica and Brody that Jared had confessed to being in cahoots with Wayne Landers. "Jared is behind all of this," she stated, still confused. John asked Natalie to help in whatever way she can to bring Jared in. Brody wondered what Jared could possibly gain by going after Jessica. When Natalie explained that he'd gotten a text message that made him run off, John realized there's a third party who may be calling the shots. Meanwhile, Jared entered the lodge and was shocked to see the person who'd summoned him there. He yelled at them, saying he'd already told them they are through. Natalie got a call from Clint alerting her to a security issue at the lodge and headed out before John could go with her. When she got to the lodge, she stumbled over something and screamed when she realized there was blood on her hands.

Nora and Bo discussed what they were doing to their son, while Matthew set down the Warwick Academy's brochure on his arm rest. Meanwhile, Téa picked up the same brochure and made a phone call to someone she referred to as "honey."
