OLTL Recaps Week of January 15, 2007

Friday, January 19, 2007
Jessica was surprised when she went to greet Antonio in the steam room and it turned out to be a naked Nash. He teased her, but she wouldn't have it. "I hate you!" she finally screamed as he badgered her. He informed her that she's staying there with him for as long as it takes for her to stop hating him. Jess amended that she doesn't hate him and does in fact, have feelings for him.

Bo watched the tape of Aaron and Vincent's press conference, where they spoke out against the police force. Bo lectured the cops that the subsequent overload of calls coming in slowed down their response time. Antonio and Evangeline worried about Cristian, but Bo urged them to step aside in order to let the bad press settle. Meantime, Cris argued with Talia in his loft. He then came down to the station and learned that his brother and girlfriend are off the case, due to the conflict of interest. He was prepared to fight back, but they told him to keep his cool. Vangie privately worried that Cris really was guilty for starting the fires. Later, Cris was furious when his loft was searched. Talia found blueprints of Vincent's burned down buildings.

Paige and Lindsay chatted as they dined at the Palace. Paige patiently listened to Lindsay vent when Lindsay mentioned that she broke up with R.J. Bo interrupted them and was concerned when Paige filled him in on Lindsay's troubles. Lindsay sadly called her gallery phone and changed the message which had included both her and R.J.'s names. Bo was happy when Paige said she wanted to be Lindsay's friend, but warned her that Linds can be "high maintenance." When Paige was suddenly called to the hospital, she suggested Bo join Lindsay instead.

After Todd proposed to Blair, she examined the ring and remarked that it was the same one he gave her before. "I want to get it right this time," he stated. "I can't," Blair told him. Todd assumed it was too soon. Blair was upset that he already told Starr he was planning to propose and explained that they're over for good. Todd thought things could be different between them, but she believed that they're miserable together. "I dare you to tell me you don't love me," he challenged. He then stated that the kids would be better with them together, but Blair argued that they'll also be happier if she and Todd are apart.

At the hospital, Rex continued to wheedle the guard into letting him into Spencer's room. In his room, Spencer continued to "speak" with Blair, who he imagined was in the room with him. Rex managed to get in and found Truman talking to himself. Balsom revealed that he wants to destroy any hope Todd has of finding his son. Spencer imagined Blair telling him that she'll never forgive Todd for making her lose her baby. In real life, Rex asked Spencer if he can help him get proof that Todd's baby with Margaret is dead. Spencer agreed to do it. Rex was perturbed when Truman mentioned "Tommy."

Nash spotted Antonio as Vega worked out. Antonio was interested in hearing Nash's ideas for improving Capricorn. He assured Nash that Jessica's willing to make amends with Nash and urged him to get along with her. Later, the guys took a steam together in the sauna. Antonio was pleased when Nash called him "pal."

Natalie admitted to Jessica that she's having a difficult time dealing with John now that he's out of the hospital. Jess complained about Nash, then Natalie complained about Marty. The ladies decided to head to the spa to be with the guys. Meanwhile, Antonio stepped out of the steam room. Jessica went to surprise Antonio and found a naked Nash in there.

Marcie, Starr and Jack visited an awake and recovering Blair in the hospital. Starr was thrilled to have her mom alive, but she and her brother rebelled when Marcie offered to take them to school. Blair insisted they go.

At school, Starr purposely dropped her books to get Cole's attention. Marcie demanded that Starr stop seeing him. Starr refused to discuss it with her.

Rex informed Adriana that he's creating a fake death certificate for Todd's baby. She thought it was cruel, but he thought it was the perfect time to do it since Todd was so happy about Blair being alive. Adriana warned that Spencer might know the truth about the baby's whereabouts. Rex was confident that things would work out once Spencer goes to Wingdale. Later, Layla came over to work on the lingerie line with Adriana and they agreed that Rex is a good guy.

Todd went to see Spencer at the hospital. "You're here to kill me, aren't you?" Truman croaked. Todd stated that he thought Spencer shot himself in a way that would keep him in the hospital. He then taunted Spencer about how Truman's going to be locked up. Later, Truman fantasized about Blair visiting him, while Todd proposed to Blair.

Paige and Bo paid Spencer a visit in the hospital. Paige noted that he strategically shot himself because he wanted to stay in the hospital. He insisted that he was trying to kill himself.

Vincent and Aaron hosted a press conference in Angel Square, where they blasted the police force and said that Cristian was guilty of burning down his buildings. Natalie was furious.

Cristian complained to Evangeline about being stuck on the project he was trying to complete. She was supportive and tried to give him some ideas. She then read about the second fire in the paper. Vangie wanted to call Bo, but Cristian didn't want to get involved. Natalie soon came by and told them to go to Angel Square immediately. They did and Vangie defended Cris to the media. Bo arrived and Aaron accused the police of protecting Cristian. Later at the loft, Vangie recalled finding Cris's turpentine-soaked rags.

Marty stopped by John's and told him that now she's sure that Spencer wasn't fit to be on trial. John argued that Truman knew exactly what he's doing; she stated that Spence is insane. Marty admitted that she was basically saying, "I told you so." John noted that Marty was more stressed about having been taken hostage by Spencer than she was letting on. "I'm holding it together just fine," she snapped, but John thought she was about to lose it. Marty freaked out when he said she's suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Natalie later returned and reamed out Marty about her role in Spencer being free. Marty left. John scolded Nat for her behavior.... Marty went to the hospital to check on Spencer's condition.

At the hospital, Dorian, Todd and Starr and Viki nervously paced as they awaited news on Blair. Michael joined them and reported that her condition is stabilizing. The family was thrilled, but Michael warned them that she still has a long way to go. Privately, Todd asked Michael if Blair is going to be a vegetable. Michael advised him to talk to her so she could be encouraged to regain consciousness. After, Todd told the family that he's going to get Blair a surprise. Soon, Addie arrived and went to sit with Blair. "It's not time for you to go to Heaven," Addie firmly, but sadly stated. "Mamas are supposed to go to Heaven first ... please don't die and leave us all alone." Todd then joined her and told Blair that he needs her. Sure enough, she opened her eyes. "You talk too much," she whispered.

At Rodi's, Natalie was annoyed when Vincent told her he needed to ask for a favor. She was aghast when he hinted that he wanted her to find evidence implicating Cristian in burning down the warehouse, but he insisted that all he wanted was for her to help "restore [his] cred." Vince then got a call that another one of his buildings was on fire. Nat urged Vincent to let the police handle it and declared that Cris is innocent.

Evangeline was irritated when Cris arrived late for their date. He was also grumpy, especially when Layla complimented his photography skills. Vangie couldn't understand what the problem was, but he explained that photography just isn't the same as art. Vangie questioned where he'd been. He said that he went to the gym and then to pick up art supplies. Vangie found rags that smelled of turpentine. He asked her to trust him and began kissing her.

Rex blamed himself for Blair's condition, believing that had he come forth with the truth about Tommy's parentage, Todd wouldn't have gone after Spencer and caused Blair's accident. Adriana argued that Rex isn't responsible for Todd's actions. Later, Marcie, Michael and Tommy joined them in the hospital cafeteria. Dorian interrupted them and told Adriana she can visit Blair. Michael unhappily informed Marcie that Blair was dying. She asked Rex to watch Tommy for her. His first order of business was changing the tot's dirty diaper. Marcie returned and was amused when she learned that he put two diapers on the kid.

At Capricorn, a stubborn Jessica stated that even though she broke a glass, it was Nash who provoked her. Antonio was determined to end her and Nash's argument. Nash explained that while trapped in the mine, he and Jess realized that the only thing they have in common is their daughter, Bree. Nash was prepared to quit, but Jessica told him not to. Antonio urged them to work out their problems, for Bree's sake.... Layla didn't believe Nash when he stated that he and Jess are incompatible, especially when she learned he had pictures of Jessica with him. Antonio also couldn't understand why Jessica and Nash were suddenly not getting along.... Alone in the bar, Nash sadly stared at Jess's picture.

At the hospital, Todd had a heartfelt talk with an unconscious Blair. After, he promised Dorian that Blair's not going to die, however, the doctor thought otherwise and urged the family to say their good-byes. Starr advised him to do so, as well, explaining that she didn't get to say good-bye to Todd that last few times he was presumed dead (but didn't she get to say "hello" in those cases?). Jack and Starr then visited their mom and told her they love her. Starr apologized for sometimes being such a difficult kid. And aww, we got a peek at little Kristen Alderson (Starr), who's now so grown up, as a montage of Blair and Starr moments flashed across the screen. Next, we were treated to Dorian and Blair moments as her aunt sat with her. Later, the family stood around as a priest gave Blair her last rights. Todd refused to say good-bye to her and rested his head on her chest.
