Natalie said she couldn't watch John risk his life. John said he didn't know how he would recover without her. He wanted her to be a part of his recovery, but added he also wants to be in charge of his life. Natalie told John that Spencer was going to be transferred to Wingdale. Natalie said when John was "dead" she was most upset that he wouldn't have been able to move on with his life. Natalie pointed out that though John was now there physically, she was sick of waiting for him. She threw his pills in the air and didn't understand why John was so eager to be dead again. "You are the second person to tell me this week that I have a death wish," he said. Natalie urged John to go back to bed. Natalie blamed Marty for all of this. The phone rang. It was Michael telling them about the hostage situation at the hospital. John put on his coat and unlocked his gun with plans to go to the hospital. "You're going?" Natalie asked.

Antonio showed Bo what he found out about the fire at Vincent's warehouse. Bo confirmed that Vincent had been Cris' fight manager. Vincent arrived with his lawyer, Aaron. Cris arrived to make a statement. "Don't you mean confession?" Vincent said. Cris had a complete alibi — he had been at an art store buying supplies. Aaron thought Cris still had time to set that fire. The lawyer had a receipt from the art store which included some paint thinner, a.k.a. turpentine. Cris looked guilty. Aaron said they should put the blame where it belongs. The security tape said that Cris was there for three minutes. Antonio pointed out that Vincent would make a lot of money in the insurance claim if he wasn't tied to the fire. Antonio asked Cris what happened during those missing minutes. Cris said he didn't start that fire, and insisted that Vincent and Aaron were out to get him. Vincent brought up the fact that Cris was sleeping with Evangeline, and a shoving match ensued. The two were pulled apart. Aaron told Vincent to "keep a lid on it." Evangeline made sure Cris was okay. "Words don't hurt me," she reminded him. An agitated Cris left the station. Moment later, viewers saw some hands setting another fire.

Starr insisted to Cole that she doesn't get jealous. Cole said, hypothetically, that Starr had no reason to be jealous of Britney. Starr said the only thing she knows for sure is that she likes Cole. She worried that she might not ever be able to tell her mom she loves her. Cole assured her that her mom knows that. Cole was glad she told him what she did. The two kids held hands tenderly and kissed. They headed to the hospital but entered separately, as to not upset their parents. The kids soon learned about the hostage situation.

Dorian told Viki and Clint the bad news about Blair's heart. Viki couldn't believe that Dorian saw Todd threatening Spencer with a scalpel. She didn't understand why Todd "always reacts like this." Clint tried to comfort Dorian and said he'd try to bring Todd to his senses. Dorian thought she should call Addie. She said she was trying to hang on but that it was getting harder and harder.

Spencer held Marty hostage as Todd watched. Marty begged Todd to walk away. Todd refused. Spencer said that Todd doesn't care if she lives or dies. A nurse walked in and ran off for help. Spencer reminded them that he's the one with a gun. Spencer tried to drag Marty to the parking lot. Todd offered himself up as Spencer's hostage. Bo headed to the hospital to take care confront them and wanted a squad car posted outside of his father's house. The police arrived at the hospital and the sun room was filled with all the people involved with Todd, Marty and Spencer. Clint said he'd take responsibility for Starr and Cole. Bo arrived and asked why Clint and Dorian were here. Todd said he'd take the bullet meant for Marty if Spencer would let her go. Starr begged to see her mom. Viki tried to calm the kids down. Cole got upset at the thought of losing his mom. Spencer aimed the gun at Todd. Marty screamed. Cole ran to the crime scene. Todd began to struggle with Spencer. Marty ran away. Spencer shot someone — but we don't know who.

A groggy John woke up and called out for Natalie. He immediately figured out that Natalie had drugged him. John accused Natalie of taking control of his life. Clint and Viki ran into each other (both bringing sustenance for the patient and his nurse) outside of John's apartment. John offered his condolences about Blair's miscarriage. The conversation was a bit awkward, so Viki and Clint left and headed to the hospital for a "talk." John and Natalie started up arguing again. "Maybe we just don't know each other as well as we thought we did," John barked. Natalie accused John of lying over and over again. John countered by saying Natalie only hears what she wants to hear. John said he'd rather take the pain then deal with what the medicating does to his head. John reminded her that she doesn't get to decide what's best for him. Natalie said it always comes to John wanting to go it alone. Natalie began to leave but John grabbed her. "Don't go," he said.

Viki told Clint how much she hates it that John and Natalie were fighting. Clint reminded her that they were grownups. Viki apologized for that scene at Llanfair with Dorian. She admitted to Clint that she does have feelings for him. Viki said she had been thinking about this for an awfully long time. Viki didn't know if her feelings were new or if they were a memory. Clint had been wondering the same thing. Clint wondered where it leaves "us." Viki needed to know if "you are with Dorian or not." Clint explained that he didn't know "where she and I stand." But he added, he sees Viki as far more than just the mother of his children. Viki and Clint headed out to see Blair and ran into a concerned Dorian.

Rex met with Bo and reported he couldn't find any evidence that Todd had tortured Spencer in the warehouse. Bo encouraged Rex to run down any leads he might have. However, Rex told him that he managed to get Todd to confess. Rex confirmed that Todd had kidnapped and tortured Spencer to get Spencer to come clean about Todd Jr. Bo thought Rex didn't seem too keen on putting Todd behind bars. Rex just thought Todd was taking steps to protect his family.

Spencer told Todd he could save Blair. Todd didn't believe him. "You are certifiable," Todd said. Spencer asked Todd to promise not to hurt Blair (emotionally) if Spencer saved her life. Spencer wanted Todd to stay away from her as part of the deal. Todd said there was no way he could keep Blair away from him. Todd put a knife to Spencer's neck. Spencer said, "Then you'll never find your kid." Dorian entered and encouraged Todd to "end that bastard's miserable life." Kill him, she urged. But Todd backed down. Dorian told him that the cardiologist said "Blair didn't have the strength to survive." Todd accused Dr. Cushing of being a quack. Cushing said it was too late to stop the infection, so it was up to Blair. His words haunted Dorian. Todd went to find Marty and "thank her for her help." Note the sarcasm. Spencer told Marty that Todd had put a scalpel to his throat. Marty told Spencer that he was going back to Wingdale. Marty added that once he was well and the medication was working, that he'd soon be convicted for "the crimes he had committed." Spencer grabbed the guard's gun, held Marty hostage and dragged her into the sun room, where they ran into Todd. Todd just shook his head.

Starr taunted Spencer with information that Todd and Blair would remarry and that he'd be in the psych ward. Spencer told Starr that Blair wouldn't be marrying Todd. Todd caught Starr coming out of Spencer's room. Todd forbid her from ever going in there again. Todd entered the room and figured out that Todd Jr. was still alive. "I'm going to find him," he said as the security guard escorted him out of the hospital room.

Jessica tried to explain to Antonio why she didn't want Nash to manage Capricorn. Antonio still offered him the job. Jessica tried to talk him out of it. However, Nash happily said yes and gave Antonio a warm handshake while Jessica glared at them.

Antonio asked Adriana not to use Jessica in any more ads modeling their (Adriana and Layla's) new line of underwear. Adriana thought Antonio was worried about what Carlotta would think. Antonio said he didn't feel comfortable with Jessica modeling bras.

Lindsay ran into Bo playing with little Tommy. The two began chatting and Bo said he never regretted their romance. Paige eavesdropped and heard Lindsay ask Bo if he was going to marry Paige. Then Lindsay thought better of herself and said it was none of her business. Bo asked her about RJ and added that he thought they were good together. Lindsay explained that RJ was not a real love; he was more someone to help her get through the loss of Jen. Lindsay said she once had real love in her life. "I know what that feels like," she added. Paige showed up and the three of them made nice small talk. Bo left with Michael to hear about Spencer's results. Paige and Lindsay talked about Tommy's happy life. Lindsay asked Paige to be good to Bo. "He deserves the best," Lindsay said. When Lindsay left, Paige asked Bo about his past relationship with Lindsay.

Paige was interrupted with a call from Todd. Todd was packing up a few things for Blair. Todd wanted to rehire Rex. "Spencer was lying, my son's alive, I need you on the case 24/7." Rex didn't want the case, "because I already know what happened to your baby." Rex said, "He's gone." Todd wouldn't listen. Rex almost got Todd to admit that he had tortured Spencer. Todd backed down. He added that if anyone was keeping the whereabouts of Todd Jr. a secret, he'd make their lives miserable. Rex left looking VERY concerned. Moments later he met up with Bo. "Did you turn up anything on Manning?" Bo asked.

Todd, with a knife-like object in his hand, returned to Spencer's room. "I can save Blair," Spencer told Todd.

Back at Llanview High, Langston called Starr and insisted she come to school to see Brittany flirting with Cole. Starr showed up and immediately gave Cole a big kiss, much to the shock of Brittany and Langston.

Nash wondered why Antonio wanted to hire him. Antonio told Nash that Claudia had returned to rehab and Capricorn needed help. Nash said maybe, but he wanted to talk to Jessica first. Jessica thought it was an awful idea for Nash to manage Capricorn. "Things are fine now," she said. "Why do things have to change?"

Evangeline kept Cris from hitting Vincent. She asked Vincent to make his case against Cris. (Yesterday, Vincent accused Cris of burning down his warehouse and killing Ted.) Cris said that if Antonio thought he was guilty, Cris would have been arrested by now. Vincent continued to argue. He pointed out that turpentine started the fire and that there was a lot of turpentine at Cris' house. Evangeline said she could prove that Cris didn't do it. She had a partial alibi for him, but there were a few hours that she couldn't account for. (Oh, dear.)

Spencer told Paige he wanted to see Blair. "I could help her. I could save her life," he said. Spencer confessed that he still loved Blair. Spencer reminded her that he'd brought Todd back from the dead. Nevertheless, Paige refused to show Spencer Blair's chart.

Michael told Todd that Blair was suffering from a residual heart condition. Todd realized Blair could die. Viki came out for an update and wondered if specialists had been called in. Viki asked if Spencer Truman might be able to help. That suggestion did not sit well with Todd. Michael told Starr that Blair's condition was serious but wasn't getting any worse. Todd assured Starr that Blair would be fine. Viki asked Michael to take Starr in to see Blair while she had a few words with Todd. She suggested Todd not propose to Blair right away. Viki begged Todd to be patient with Blair. Todd began calling all the specialists in the country. Apparently one was already on the way, thanks to a call from Marty. Todd looked surprised. Marty, it seemed, had called in a favor for Todd and Blair. Todd wondered what was in it for Marty. Marty denied that anything was in it for her. Michael left to go home. Starr walked out with Michael. Jack asked Aunt Viki when Mommy was going to wake up. Viki didn't have an answer. Starr wanted to see Spencer, but the guard said no. Starr pretended to cry and said that she needed to tell Spencer what she thought of him. "And then finally I can move on with my life," she sniffed. The guard said okay. Starr stood at the end of Spencer's bed. "I have news for you, Spencer. And you are not going to like it."

Jessica agreed with Marty that it would be best if she had minimal contact with Nash. Marty laughed when Jessica added that Antonio and Nash were now best friends. Jessica wondered why she and Nash always argued. Changing topics, Jessica asked Marty to reexamine her diagnosis of Spencer. Marty countered, "I've been dealing with sociopaths for quite some time."

Cris was welcomed home by Evangeline. She encouraged him to work on his photography career. "It's an investment," Evangeline claimed while giving him a gift. Cris rejected it, and he and Vangie argued. Cris didn't want to take charity from his girlfriend. He told her to take it back now. Cris stormed off, but Evangeline got him to come back. She said if this was how he felt, the gift was the least of their problems. Cris grabbed Evangeline and began kissing her. Then he backed down and accepted the gift, noting he'd have to learn how to use it. The kissing continued until someone started banging on the door. It was Vincent, who accused Cris of burning down his warehouse. Cris looked stunned.

Layla wondered if Nash had set up the cave scenario with Jessica. "Did anything happen?" she asked. "Yes and no," he replied. Nash gave Layla the details. Nash admitted it was hard to stay away from Jessica because of the Bree custody issue and the fact that they live in the same town.

Natalie checked in with John, who was home alone for the first time. Bo also showed up to visit, and reminded John he was on his side. John decided not to take his pills and hid them in a desk drawer. He was angry at Natalie for having sent Bo over to check up on him. A cranky John didn't want to eat anything. Natalie found the hidden meds. "Those are the pain pills I'm not taking," John said. Natalie sprinkled the meds on John's food. John ate his lunch and immediately fell asleep.

Marty met little Bree, who was with Jessica. Jessica began to explain everything about Bree and Tess. Marty was sympathetic. Jessica went on and on about how wonderful Antonio is. Marty asked about Jessica and Nash. Jessica explained how they were caught in the snow, ran out of gas and needed to go somewhere for shelter. She added that they stripped down to stay warm. Jessica claimed she loves Antonio. Marty wondered if perhaps Jessica was in love with two men. Jessica said no way, and repeated that she loves Antonio. COMPLETELY. Marty suggested that Jessica put a lot of distance between herself and Nash. Jessica thought that was a good idea.

Vincent showed up at the police station with the theory that Cris may have burned down his warehouse. "Are you accusing Cristian of arson?" Natalie asked. Natalie couldn't believe that Cris would have torched the warehouse. Natalie thought perhaps the person who set the fire did it to set up Cristian. A testy Antonio told Vincent to back off.

Antonio had a hard time juggling Capricorn and the police department. Meanwhile, Nash helped out at the club. Layla added that they would have to put him on the payroll. Nash said he was doing it because Antonio is a friend. Antonio offered Nash a job. (This will cause a problem for Jessica...see two paragraphs above.)

Nora and RJ laughed over drinks. Lindsay saw them holding hands. She approached them, then stormed off. "I don't want to interfere on your little in-jokes," she claimed. Nora offered to leave while Lindsay and RJ argued. After she left, RJ called it quits with a shocked Lindsay. Bo handed Lindsay a hankie.
