One Life To Live Recaps
OLTL Week of February 16, 2009
Monday
An upset Gigi dealt with Stacy's news that their parents were dead. "Never in a million years did I think I'd never see my parents again," sniffled Gigi. Gigi also learned that her mother had asked for her on her deathbed. Gigi was filled with regrets. Stacy added that their mother had written Gigi and Shane a Christmas card every year. After their deaths, Stacy could no longer pay the mortgage on the family house, so she packed up and landed in Vegas where she began exotic dancing under the name of Gigi. Rex said that both the Morasco sisters were survivors. Stacy asked Gigi if she would forgive her. The sisters hugged.
Back at the Buchanan house, Nigel, Nora, Clint, Bo and Renee went on a family bender as a way to cope with the news that David was their sibling and he now knows it. Nora optimistically suggested that perhaps David might surprise them. The tipsy Buchanans drank a toast to Asa, Emma Bradley and practically everyone else in Llanview. Bo drank to a military school for his pot-smoking son. Clint was surprised at that little family revelation. Nora looked through the family photo album. Clint asked Nora to Dance. Nora worried about tomorrow's hangover. Bo and Renee started to dance.
Dorian confirmed to David that yes, she had married him for the money. She tried to convince him that she did this "for your own good." "You made a mockery of my beliefs," David replied, not believing any of Dorian's explanations. Dorian tried to convince David that he had found his true self. David refused to listen. "Get a grip, David," Dorian snapped. "Buchanans were not meant to suffer and the entire Buchanan fortune is ours." David began to think of ways to give the money away and not share with Dorian. David pointed out to Dorian that she didn't share the Buchanan money with him when she took over BE several years ago. "I have to admit I was somewhat selfish," Dorian concurred. Dorian agreed that she had been
wrong and wondered what might have been if they had stayed together. Dorian added that even though she had never thought of David as an equal, she did say, "Money or no money, I love you." She gave David permission to do whatever he wanted to do with the Buchanan fortune and was sorry she would no longer be a part of his life. She kissed him goodbye, said "Namaste" and left the room. David looked puzzled.
At the Ball, John tried to break up the brawl between Téa, Marty, Wes and Todd as a horrified Blair looked on. Todd hit Wes over the head. Wes retaliated by putting a knife to Todd's throat. Antonio broke things up and demanded that Wes drop the knife. Marty came to Wes' defense. Layla pulled Antonio away and begged him not to ruin the Go Red Ball. Antonio told everyone to go home. John accused Wes of killing Lee Halprin. John explained Wes' connection with Lee. Marty announced that she knows all Wes' secrets and doesn't think he's a killer. Téa repeated to Antonio that she killed Lee. Wes reminded John that Marty doesn't want to be with him (John). Marty and Wes left.
Layla handed out the Go Red Ball/Campbell Soup goodie bags. Talia took care of Oliver Fish (the policeman who has a crush on Layla) by giving him some V8 Fusion. "This is really good," he said. Talia thought Fish had a good chance with Layla. Fish shared that he had been taking dance lessons because he learned from Layla's facebook page that she loves to dance.
Blair and John caught up at the bar. John suggested they close down Rodi's but Blair thought John really wanted to be with Marty and said no. Téa attended to Todd's bruises. Antonio forced Téa to dance with him and made it clear that he thinks her confession to murdering Lee is bull. Todd broke up the dance. Téa told Todd she now thinks Wes killed Lee.
At Wes', Wes began to frantically pack a suitcase and accused Marty of using him to stick it to McBain. Wes admitted that he had gone looking for Lee in the safe house Marty had told him about.
The Next Morning…
Nora woke up with the three of Spades card stuck to her head. The room was spinning and moment later she realized she was lying on top of Bo.
David woke up with Dorian. "Zip me," she said.
Blair woke up with Todd.
Marty woke up and saw her hand was covered in blood. Wes was next to her with a knife in his stomach. Marty started screaming.
Tuesday
The day after the Go Red Ball, a number of Llanview residents woke up hung over or in someone else's bed or both. Through flashbacks, we learned exactly how those drunken pairings occurred.
David was still in shock about being Asa's son. David told Dorian that she married him for the wrong reasons but he did appreciate her honesty. Together, they had separate flashbacks about how they ended up in this spot. David pondered what to do. He said he'd miss his peaceful new life.... But added that Buchanan money could buy him a lot of peace. He grabbed Dorian and threw her down on the bed. Later David had a field day trying on an assortment of new clothes, ones that were NOT saffron. The final touch? A
cowboy hat. The old David, the superficial and class conscious one, appeared to be back.
Rex and Shane almost caught Stacy with a man — Hello Oliver Fish! He was hiding under a sleeping bag until the guys left, then she gave him his clothes and told him to get out. Stacy had picked up Oliver at the Ball. Gigi looked through old photo albums. Rex got a kick of looking at the
photos but Gigi got choked up when she saw the last photo ever taken of her with her mom. Rex put his arm around Gigi. Rex and Gigi admitted they were talking about get married. "That's great," Stacy said half-heartedly. "I just want to be your little sister again. I want to be Shane's aunt," Stacy
said as she hugged Gigi, but couldn't take her eyes off Rex.
Later Fish returned to the Red Ball site looking for his PDA. As he asked Layla if she'd seen it, he immediately flashbacked to his passionate moments with Stacy in the hall. Fish told a stunned Layla that he couldn't see her anymore. "I met someone," Fish explained. Fish remembered not being able to get a moment alone with Layla during the ball. It was them when Stacy made a play for him. "Things sort of took off from there," he admitted sheepishly as he flashed back to having sex with Stacy. "I sort of met the love of my life," Fish said. Meanwhile, when Gigi asked Stacy was asked about her love life, she casually said there was no one.
Blair was stunned to wake up next to Todd. He regaled Blair how she got drunk, blasted John and drank more. Todd explained how he took a drunk Blair back to the safe house. Blair entered, looking for the bathroom. She realized where she was, was disgusted, then passed out in the bed. Todd assured Blair that he hadn't taken advantage of her.
Marty woke up with blood on her hands and next to a dead Wes. John went looking for her, busted the door down and found her with the stiff. Marty began to recall an argument they'd had, but was fuzzy on the rest. John asked Marty if Wes had threatened her. Marty explained what had happened when they returned to Wes' place after the ball. Marty couldn't remember because "we were both so drunk." Marty admitted she did wonder if Wes had killed Lee. Marty panicked and wondered if "I went crazy and killed Wes." Blair peeked into Wes' room, saw Wes' dead body and overheard Marty beg John to help her. Blair continued to listen as John told Marty they had to call the police. Blair beat them to it. "I want to report a murder," she said loud enough for John and Marty to turn and look at her.
At the Buchanans', Bo and Nora woke up together on the couch. With Clint, Renee and Nigel, they all recalled how they returned to the house, raided the wine cellar and played poker. When the money was gone, they then used their clothing. Nigel was repulsed to recall that he went down to his skivvies and Nora remembered how she and Bo innocently wound up half dressed on the couch, where they had passed out. Later, Renee suggested they invite David to dinner and "Get the cook to poison his food." The doorbell rang. "I think Vickers is here to tell us what he plans to do with all our money," Bo predicted. "It's Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan now," Dorian proclaimed. David told Clint he was honored to "share your blood." He went on to say nice things to all the people in the room. "Where are you going with this," Bo asked suspiciously. "Get the hell out of my house," David said with a big smile.
Wednesday
Matthew was stunned to learn he'd now be calling Dorian and David Aunt and Uncle. Dorian explained how they were all related and he (and his family) would be "living elsewhere." "No way," Matthew said. Dorian and David made it clear that the Buchanans needed to pack up and leave Asa's house ASAP. Clint asked David if the Buddhist stuff was all an act. David kept reminding Clint that his name was no longer Vickers, "it's Buchanan, bro!" Clint didn't want David to "burn through your inheritance." Clint offered his help running the empire. "We can make this empire thrive," Clint added. David explained that he was hurt that his "own brothers didn't want him but I'm stronger than that." That said, David had no desire for their help, ever. "Karma's a bitch, ain't it," Dorian smiled after David informed his estranged brethren that they won't be working together. "Asa wanted Renee and Matthew to live in this house forever," Clint reminded Dorian. Nora grabbed the new will. "She's right," Nora said with a miserable look on her face. David announced that he owns the Palace Hotel now and there will never be room for them there, either. Dorian suggested they try the Angel Square Hotel. Dorian gloated over the victory. Dorian invited Nigel to stay on as their butler. Clint wanted to do a DNA test. Bo pulled a strand of David's hair. The Buchanans left and Dorian and David toasted their new residence. "Welcome home, Dr. Buchanan," David said as they kissed.
Cole and Starr were jointly humiliated by their parents' shenanigans at the Go Red Ball. "I hate Wes Grainger as much as I hate your dad," Cole shared. Cole admitted he had gone to see Marty last night. He had wanted to share the news that he was accepted into Llanview University. Starr gave him a big hug. Starr begged Cole to stop taking the pills before "you do something that will hurt you." Starr congratulated Cole again and headed out.
Téa reprimanded Todd for going after Wes with a broken bottle. Téa said goodbye to Todd and gave him her bill. "You've raised your rates," he quipped. Téa asked for a bonus for taking the rap for Lee's murder. Todd wrote a check. Téa found Blair's earring next to Todd's bed and asked what that was about. "She slept here last night," Todd said with a smile. Todd explained that nothing happened. "Are you jealous?" he asked a defensive Téa. Téa and Todd tried to be friends.
Marty and John heard Blair reporting Wes' murder to the police. Blair told Talia that she knows Marty murdered Wes. Talia grabbed Antonio and they headed to Angel Square Hotel. John was convinced that Marty didn't kill him. "She's not a violent individual," he added. Blair reminded him that she talked Todd into jumping off the Palace roof. Antonio and Talia entered the room and took over the crime scene. Photographs were taken. A visibly shaken Marty left the room with Talia. Marty thought they should arrest her because she didn't know if she killed Wes or not. She did remember that she had fought with Wes and he had wanted her to move out. John told Antonio what had happened when he showed up at Marty's door. Antonio asked Blair where
she had been last night. Blair dodged the question as she had been with Todd. Antonio asked John and Blair to come down to the station. John suggested they look at Todd for the crime. Marty and Blair didn't think it was possible that Todd had done the crime, but for different reasons.
Jessica asked about Brody when she visited St. Ann's. The nun knocked at his door but didn't get any response. She opened the door and saw that his bed hadn't been slept in. "Looking for me?" Brody asked as he stood by his door. "Where have you been?" the nun asked. Brody insisted he was just out getting some air. Jessica listened intently to Brody's explanation. "Sister Mary Claire may buy that, but I don't," Jessica told her friend. Jessica brought some homemade cookies and a book to Brody. "Will you tell me the truth," she asked. "Where did you go?" Brody dodged the question.
Wes' murder was broadcast on the radio. Téa, Todd, Cole, Jessica and Brody seemed surprised to hear the news.
Thursday
Markko opened his acceptance letter from his dream school while standing in front of Noelle. He was overjoyed. Noelle told Langston the news but Langston thought he had been accepted at LU. Markko told Noelle that Langston was his dream girl and "I can't leave her." Langston kept gushing about how great it was that Markko would be close at LU. Markko couldn't be completely happy.
Jared still had Jessica's parking voucher from the hospital. "I thought you weren't going to make a big deal out of this," he said to Natalie. Natalie reminded her fiancé that Tess was smart and could do anything. She wondered why Tess would leave the hospital and have the baby at the vineyard. Natalie tried to figure out why Tess had done what she did. "It's weird," Jared agreed, but he didn't think pursuing this was worth the work. After some convincing from Natalie, Jared said it was okay to Natalie to continue to investigate.
At St. Ann's, Brody seemed upset that Wes was dead. "What if I did it?" Brody wondered to Jessica. Brody confessed that he didn't remember much about last night. Jessica tried to calm him down, but Brody remained convinced that he might have been responsible for that death.
Todd didn't think Marty killed Wes. "Do you think I killed him?" Todd asked his attorney/friend Téa. Téa thought it was possible. Téa began to panic, but Todd just laughed. Téa placed a call to the police. Téa showed him Blair's earring and reminded him that "You have an alibi."
Starr helped Schuyler clean up the classroom. She told him how frustrating it was not to be able to talk to Cole the way they used to. Starr asked Schuyler, "What went wrong with the person you were involved in?" Schuyler didn't think it was appropriate that they discuss his love life. Starr again mentioned this "friend" she was worried about, the friend doing drugs. Starr and Schulyer talked about "this person."
Cole banged his locker and then popped a pill.
Marty's lawyer showed up at the precinct. Antonio told him that Marty was found next to a dead man's body. Cole rushed in to be with his mother. He hugged her. Talia put Marty's statement on tape. Marty had no idea how Wes was killed. Marty did admit that she and Wes had argued. Marty had been drunk. Wes was sober. Marty explained that Wes carried a knife because he rides a bike. They had been friends, just friends. Marty grew more frustrated at the fact that she couldn't remember anything and sad because she had lost a friend.
Todd showed up at the police station. Téa started arguing with Antonio and told the department "that there is someone here who can vouch for his (Todd's) whereabouts." Blair looked really uncomfortable when she heard that! Blair remained convinced that Marty had killed Wes. "There was someone else with Todd that night. Shall I tell them Blair? Téa asked.
Friday
Téa forced Blair to admit that she had spent the night in Todd's bed. John was not amused. "Is it true? You slept with him?" John whispered in Blair's ear. Téa announced that this bit of information gives Todd an alibi for Wes' murder. "Nothing intimate happened with Todd last night," Blair insisted. Sadly for Blair, she didn't remember any details of what happened when she passed out at Todd's. John thought Todd could have slipped out of the house while Blair was passed out. Téa went after Marty, who repeated that she didn't know how Wes was killed. Talia began screaming — "here's your killer standing right beside me." Marty's lawyer tried to keep his client quiet. "I am not a murderer," Marty said calmly. Téa grabbed Todd and they left. Blair asked Todd why he hadn't just taken her home after the ball. Blair begged for a moment to talk to John, but he seemed preoccupied with Marty. Blair shook her head. Antonio told Marty's lawyer that they were waiting for forensics before Marty could go home. John didn't want to have the Todd discussion at the precinct. The forensics report came in; Marty's prints were on the murder weapon. Antonio asked Marty if she had any idea how her prints were on the knife. "I'm sorry. I don't remember," she screamed. Marty was arrested for the murder of Wes Grainger.
Téa missed a call from Ray. Todd wanted to know more about Ray Montez. Téa got a call with some upsetting news. Ray had escaped.
Schuler brought Starr into the lab at the hospital. Starr wondered if
Schuyler had wished his mom had never met her dad. Schuyler changed the subject and began talking about genetics. Schuyler thought it interesting that Starr, who was half Todd Manning, was "so completely different than him." Starr told Schuyler he was a good teacher. "It doesn't hurt that you are so smart," her teacher replied. Schuyler told Starr how he turned out to become a teacher. It happened after a stint in rehab. Starr was affected by Schuyler when he stood behind her and touched her arm.
Gigi and Rex returned home their arms filled with groceries. They walked in to the living room right in the middle of a water gun game between Stacy and Shane. Stacy had brought Shane up to speed on her life and that his grandparents were dead. Gigi looked uncomfortable and asked for some time alone with her son. Stacy thought it was great that she ran into Gigi in Vegas. "It's like mom and dad are watching over us," Stacy gushed. The sisters hugged. Gigi started to cry and explained to Rex that she had wanted to tell Shane his grandparents were dead. Shane, Gigi and Rex were about to go to a hockey game when she got a call asking her to come to Rodi's. Gigi had to go to work. Shane invited Stacy to take her place. "I would love to go," she said. Rex was very sorry Gigi couldn't go.
Vanessa told a belligerent Lola about the ball. Lola told Vanessa that she remembers. "I know what you did," she said cryptically. Lola explained that Vanessa had framed Ray. "Why would I do that Lola?" her stepmother asked. "Maybe you killed my mother yourself," was Lola's reply. Vanessa insisted she loved Lola like her "own daughter." Lola stormed out and didn't want to listen. "Where did that come from?" Cristian wondered. Vanessa blamed Téa and thought that Lola was now confiding in Téa. Vanessa tried to convince Cristian that she had loved Ray at first. Vanessa added that she then became afraid of Ray and "was desperate for him to be locked up." Cris assured his wife that this was all behind them and they headed upstairs and made love.
Cris didn't pick up the call from Talia. We saw that there was someone else in Cris' loft. Cris went downstairs so they could eat dinner in bed. Lola's accusations replayed in her head. A man knocked out Cristian. He grabbed a knife and headed up to the bedroom. Ray said hello to his ex-wife.
Markko tried to tell Langston the truth about UCLA, but Lola barged into the diner and ran into his arms. Lola insisted that Vanessa, not her father, killed her mother. Lola got a call from Vanessa. Vanessa begged her to come home in her voice message. Markko and Langston urged Lola to go to the police. "I will. I have this other friend. My lawyer Téa Delgaldo."
