OLTL RecapsWeek of December 25, 2006

Friday, December 29, 2006
Spencer woke up to see John at his door. Marty asked the nurse if she knew where John was. Spencer said John wasn't on his guest list, and yelled for the guard. John began strangling Spencer with the belt from his robe. Marty broke it up. John headed up the stairs vowing to get Spencer, no matter what. Marty told him she was Marty Saybrooke. John grabbed her, saying, "You let Truman walk. Why didn't you tell me who you were? You are a quack." John collapsed on the stairs. Marty got John back to his room. Natalie arrived at John's room all dressed up with champagne and two flutes.

The Buchanans — Clint, Viki, Natalie, Antonio and Jessica — toasted the New Year. Natalie then headed to the hospital. Viki told Clint that she and Dorian had declared war over him. Clint asked Viki go on an adventure with him. They almost kissed but they were interrupted by Bree (via baby monitor).

Todd apologized to Blair. She avoided looking at him. Todd admitted that he never stopped loving her. Todd talked about letting go of his anger and pain, but he couldn't let go of her. He remembered that two years ago he was with Margaret he heard Blair's voice on the television and that saved his life. He said he didn't deserve her forgiveness. Bo came in to question Blair about what exactly happened on the roof. Blair's comments took Todd off the hook. Todd returned and reminded Blair that they still have a great deal together — their kids, and each other. Todd brought in a bottle of champagne.

At Capricorn, Nash and Dorian saw a drunken Claudia in the corner. Adriana and Layla welcomed their dates, Rex and Nash, and were exited about the debut of their lingerie collection. Cris began taking pictures for another magazine (not Dorian's Craze). This upset Dorian a great deal. Dorian was upset that Craze couldn't cover the event, but then said, "I couldn't be more proud." Layla was concerned that the photographers were only getting the bra straps. Jessica immediately took off her shirt and showed her sparkly, fringed bra, much to the delight of Antonio and Nash. Rex told Antonio that Nash had stepped up to the plate in Claudia's absence and that Claudia was home. Claudia wasn't there to sing, but Evangeline was and became a disco queen for a song.

Starr ran into Langston in the school gym. The two friends made up. Starr wasn't that interested in a party. Before the two could leave, Cole showed up. Quiet filled the gym. Cole told Starr that he felt bad about letting the team down. Starr gave Cole a pep talk and reminded him to forgive himself. The two held hands.

When the clock struck midnight, everyone kissed someone...except Dorian.

Marcie and Michael videotaped Tommy having his first bagel. Rex and Adriana saw the happy couple and Rex was committed to his decision to keep Tommy's true identity a secret. Adriana wished they didn't know the truth about Tommy.

Starr sat by Blair's bedside in the hospital while Viki tried to comfort Todd. Starr panicked when she lost Jack. Meanwhile, Jack had found his way into Spencer's room and asked him if he had tried to kill "my mom and dad." Spencer reminded Jack that he had promised not to hurt his mom. Jack didn't believe him and told Spencer off. Starr and the security guard found Jack and they took him out of Spencer's room. Jack returned to his mom. Blair explained what a New Year's resolution was and suggested he make one, "so next year will be better." Blair reminded her son that they had to be better than Spencer. Blair whispered that she was so sorry about everything.

Viki was horrified when Todd said he had killed two of his sons now. Viki reminded him not to give up on himself because Starr and Jack hadn't. Viki said that everything that is good in him is in them. Viki told Todd to stop vowing to go after Spencer. Starr assured her dad that the miscarriage was an accident. "We can't lose everything because of Spencer Truman," she declared.

Starr asked Bo not to arrest her father. Bo replied that he didn't want to but added that he couldn't just look the other way.

Paige paid Bo a visit. He gave her a huge kiss. Paige asked if it was okay for her to visit Spencer. Bo said fine. Paige showed Spencer a piece of paper and hoped it wasn't true. It was a photo of Hugh's headstone. Paige reminded Spencer that he'd never be getting out of the hospital. Paige told Spencer she didn't have a son in life or in death and then stormed out. Paige returned to Bo's arms and said she just wanted her son back.

John kept refusing to take his medication. Natalie played the tough nurse and reminded him to follow the doctor's orders. John told her that he had already taken some painkillers. Natalie reminded him that he's not all that tough. John admitted he wanted to hurt Spencer. Marty overheard this while she was eavesdropping by his door. Natalie and John began arguing. John sent Natalie off to make plans for New Year's, as he'd probably be out cold. Natalie left and saw Marty in the lobby, near John's room. "Dr. Saybrooke, what are you doing here?" Natalie told her off and left with the nurse. Marty returned to John's room. Marty explained she was the staff shrink. John said his mood was "generally pissed off." Marty then asked him about Spencer Truman. John wondered what Truman was to her. Marty apologized for asking him. She said she was not working for Truman and then left. She returned to find John's bed empty. "Oh, John," she said, "What have you done?"

Rex and Adriana sat eating fancy Christmas cake on Dorian's living room floor. (The two had made love and were naked.) Adriana couldn't take her hands off of Rex. In fact, Adriana seemed to become excited at the thought of getting caught. Dorian arrived but the two were clothed and playing a board game. Dorian promised that she'd learned her lesson about lying to her daughter. Rex and Adriana left to visit Blair at the hospital. Dorian followed.

Dorian asked Viki if she was going to try to get Clint back. Viki laughed and said if she was, she wouldn't tell her. Dorian called Viki a slut. Viki said she'd always love Ben but had no plan to spend the rest of her life mourning. Dorian stated that Clint wasn't in love with Viki anymore. Viki said she'd fight hard to make sure Clint didn't end up with Dorian. She didn't think Dorian's handful of dates could trump their history together. Viki tried to scare Dorian away. She showed Dorian the lovely necklace she had received from Clint. Dorian and Viki declared war.

Michael insisted that John start taking his meds. John said he couldn't do it until Truman was out for the count. An exasperated Michael told John about what had happened to Blair and the baby she lost. Michael wondered if John was willing to give up his career, and Natalie just to get Spencer Truman. John blamed Dr. Saybrooke for this trouble. Michael left.

Blair wept as Todd held her hand, trying to comfort her about the loss of their baby. Blair wondered why Todd hadn't let her die to save their baby. Todd begged Blair to blame him, to say it was "my fault." Todd said "I did this. I killed our baby." Blair asked Todd to go. "I want to be alone," she said. Todd called Viki and asked her to come to the hospital. He began to weep, and Evangeline ran into him. "Why am I like this?" he wondered. Todd began screaming and hitting things. Evangeline tried to comfort him. Viki arrived and Todd told her that they lost their baby son. Viki and Evangeline helped him up. Viki hugged her brother. "Everything goes wrong with me, Viki. I think I'm cursed," he said. Viki told Dorian, Adriana and Rex that the baby died. Adriana reminded Rex that they know that Todd's other son is still alive. Rex said this wasn't the time to talk about that. Dorian demanded to go in and see Blair with Adriana. Blair asked them to go away. Blair began to weep. Todd watched through the window. Todd entered Blair's room. Dorian demanded he leave. Blair said she wanted to be alone with her family. Todd left. Viki assured him she just needed some time.

Bo and Evangeline asked Marty if Spencer was still insane. Marty said that Spencer still insists that Todd was responsible for what happened on top of the roof. Evangeline claimed she believed Todd. Marty said that Spencer was lucid enough to answer questions. Bo visited Spencer and asked what happened in the warehouse. "Todd Manning tried to kill me and Blair," Spencer answered. Spencer added that Todd thought that Blair was pregnant with Spencer's child. Spencer reminded Bo that Todd had kidnapped and tortured him. Then he "snapped" and shoved both Blair and Spencer off the roof. Bo told Spencer his meltdown was a bunch of bull. Spencer predicted that Todd would go back to jail. Bo left. Evangeline came in to tell Spencer "how this is going to end." Evangeline read a list of all of the people Spencer had hurt in this town. Spencer said he wasn't worried. "Good, then you won't see it coming," she smiled as she left.

Marty reminded Evangeline that Wingdale was an institution for the criminally insane and that she sticks by her diagnosis of Spencer as insane. The two women began talking about Todd. Marty said she had to live with what Todd did to her for the rest of her life, but she resents that people think she used that to lie on the stand. Evangeline repeated that she wants Spencer to pay for everyone he hurt. Marty got a call giving her the assignment to talk to Det. McBain. Marty entered John's room. She wanted to talk to him, but didn't tell him who she was. John wanted to tell her what she needed to hear to "get me the hell out of here." Marty asked how he felt, and he began to laugh hysterically. The two began to banter. John only wanted his discharge papers and then asked her to leave his room. The two bantered some more and she left. John asked the nurse if she knew who she (Marty) was. The nurse had never seen her before.
