One Life To Live Recaps

OLTL Week of January 14, 2008

Monday

Jared wanted proof that Jessica is really Tess, so he planted a big kiss on her. Natalie entered the room, so Jess slapped him and cried out, "You bastard!" to throw her off. "Tess" took great delight in watching Natalie scold Jared. Meanwhile, Clint and Nora enjoyed a drink together and wondered what was happening between them. Nora was happy to let it evolve without overanalyzing and was about to kiss Clint when Nash walked in. He realized that he was interrupting something and went off in search of Jessica. "I say it's time we figure out what that something is," Clint proposed. Nora suggested they pick up where they left off when Nash barged in, so she closed the doors and they kissed again.

Nash found Jessica, Natalie and Jared arguing in Bree's nursery and asked what was going on. Jared informed Nash that he'd just made a move on Jessica — about her support when it comes to voting on BE buying the vineyard. Natalie wanted a word alone with Jared, so Nash and Jessica went downstairs. Nat demanded that Jared tell her what is going on, while Jessica insisted to Nash that they spend the night at the mansion. Jess was surprised when Nash agreed. Meanwhile, Nora voiced her concern about how Viki might react to her and Clint's budding romance, while Clint asked how Nora felt about Bo being with somebody else. Nora was caught off-guard by Clint's statement, just as Nash and Jess came in to say good-night. Nash asked Clint if he could speak with Clint in the morning about the BE proposal. Once alone, Jared revealed to Jess that he knows she's pretending to be Tess. Upstairs, Jared told Natalie she doesn't know what she saw and explained that there was a very good reason he did what he did. He apologized for angering her and said although the circumstances have changed, his feelings haven't. Nat told him to get out.

Outside the Bon-Jour, Todd was happy to see Blair show up to support him. Inside, Michael begged Marcie to leave the gun and give herself up. "Let us walk out that door one last time as a family," he tearfully pleaded. Back in Llanview, Adriana and Rex watched the news coverage of the hostage situation. "If your ex-girlfriend hadn't lied to you, none of this would have happened," Adriana griped. "What kind of person would do something like that?" Rex reminded her that they both lied about Tommy because they thought they were protecting him, and that's probably what Gigi was doing, too. "We're the ones who are responsible," Rex admitted, and Adriana silently agreed. Meanwhile, the news reporter explained that Blair had just come on the scene. Rex wondered what would happen if and when Todd learns that they were involved and vowed that he and Adriana would face them together.

Blair asked John why the FBI task force was pointing guns at caf door, and wondered what would happen if Marcie came out holding Tommy. Inside, Michael told Marcie that what's best for Tommy is to let him go and she finally caved in. Michael held the two of them and let Marcie sob. Mike called John and told him they were coming out, and asked John to promise that the authorities would go easy on Marcie and treat her right. "They're coming out unarmed," John informed the FBI agent handling the situation. Meanwhile, Michael held Tommy one last time. "Daddy loves you very much, and he always will," Michael told the child who was about to go to his real father. Then, he promised Marcie that whatever happens, he would be there for her. But when they exited the caf, all three were separated as Marcie handed Tommy over and was thrown down and not-so-gently cuffed. Michael said good-bye to Marcie as she was about to be driven to the local police station. He reminded her that he'll always be there for her, while Todd told Blair that he doesn't ever want Marcie near "Sam" again. Blair reminded Todd that Marcie had just lost everything. Marcie asked John to retrieve something she left in the caf for Tommy and he obliged. Marcie watched from the cop car as Blair and Todd went off with Sam.

Jessica said good-night to a sleeping Bree and told her she was doing something for her benefit. She ran into Jared in the hallway and he was quick to remind her of his and Tess's steamy night together. "I'll believe you're Tess when you sleep with me again," he threatened.

Tuesday

Sarah awkwardly greeting Cristian at the diner and apologized for having to break their date the night before. He understood and asked if everything was okay with her family, then gave her a big hug. Sarah said it just hit her that Viki is everybody's rock and that if something were to happen to her, it would be the worst. She even tried calling "every jet-set watering hole" she could think of to track down Tina. Cristian offered to reschedule their date and promised to make it special. Markko arrived at the diner and Cristian introduced him to Sarah as a fellow Angel Square native. When Markko began to lament that he's low on funds and all his friends are rich, Cristian said he could pick up some shifts at the diner.

Langston came downstairs to model her new outfit for Dorian, who wasn't thrilled with some of the "rockin" accessories she'd paired with it. Dorian asked Langston if she'd Charlie upstairs. Meanwhile, Charlie was wide-eyed upon finding Addie at the foot of his bed. "Time to saddle up, cowboy, and teach me how to ride!" she said, opening her bathrobe. Downstairs, Langston couldn't believe the front-page news (reading, yes, "Baby Got Back") about Sam and Todd's reunion. Langston asked Dorian why she allows Todd to live in her home since she dislikes Todd so much. "Keep your enemies closer," she answered, as well as her love for Blair, Starr et al. Dorian reminded Langston that today was her first group therapy session. Suddenly, Charlie came in and asked if there'd been a break-in because one of the burglars was in his bed! "What was this burglar wearing?" asked Dorian. Charlie described "one of those kimono things" and suddenly a robed Addie came down and called out, "Bed Buddy!" Dorian asked Addie to explain what was going on, and Addie said she'd mixed her pills with some alcohol the night before, so when she saw a handsome man upstairs, she thought she was dreaming and dropped her robe. "You were naked?" said an incredulous Dorian, with a look on her face as priceless as the one on Charlie's. Once Addie was out of the room, Dorian caught Charlie up to speed on Addie's condition. Charlie said it was no problem and that he liked Addie, then informed Dorian that he had to meet someone for lunch. "Jared Buchanan?" Dorian asked, and the last name caused Charlie to gulp. Her wheels started spinning, so she asked him to take a little ride with her to check out a cabin she's interested in purchasing. Before Charlie could argue, Addie returned with a very special outfit for her meeting of the Polar Bear Club. As they all headed for the door, The Sun with Viki's photo on the cover was sitting in the trash.

At the Buchanan manse, Nora checked on a still-sleeping Cole and asked how he was doing. Cole got defensive when she said she thought his mom would want him to attend counseling, then apologized for snapping at her. Nora said she understood and that everybody grieves differently, pointing out that he was falling behind in his schoolwork, not talking to Starr, not sleeping and so on. She begged him to try just one session with a counselor and suggested he might find some other interesting kids to talk to.

Antonio and Talia flirted at work, and she boasted about her recent bowling win in a match against him. Antonio read a newspaper article detailing the conclusion of the hostage situation and said he knew what it was like to have a child kept from him, then explained to Talia about Keri pretending that she and Jamie were dead. Talia had no idea he'd been through something like that, and he began to tell her how amazing she is just when Bo walked in and asked why Talia was at the station. "Reporting for duty," she informed him, but Bo told her there was no way she was coming back to work at the Llanview PD because she'd already been replaced. An overeager officer named Oliver Fish came in and started babbling on about how his favorite videogame prepared him for combating crime in Llanview. Antonio asked him for a moment alone, then swept Talia into his arms. Oliver soon returned with the news of a robbery, so Talia said she'd better get to Cherryvale but that she'd see Antonio soon.

Lindsay ran into R.J. as she arrived at her latest court date. She marveled that Bo and R.J. were both vying to be her legal guardians. Nora came on the scene and asked Lindsay if she was pleased to be getting what she wants. The judge called the court in session and announced that Bo's application had been approved. R.J. wished Lindsay well, and Nora said she'd be watching Ms. Rappaport.

Langston was about to go off to her counseling session when she found Cole at the front door. Langston complained that Dorian was trying to turn Langston into a "mini-her," while Cole griped that Nora had swayed him into group therapy. They realized that they were signed up for the same group, so departed for the meeting together. They stopped at the diner for breakfast first, and Marrko overheard Langston say, "I just don't want Markko to find out about this," referring to the grief group. Markko explained that he was working so that he could take her out for a nice Valentine's day. Markko asked why they were being all secretive, so Cole prompted Langston to admit they were going to therapy. After Markko abruptly left to make a delivery, Langston wondered why that was such an awkward exchange.

Wednesday

Langston and Cole arrived at their counseling session to find a room filled with people their age. Langston looked over at Cole as the counselor, Dr. Gibson, explained that everyone is there to understand that they're not alone. Various teens shared their fears and frustrations about their loss, which sounded pretty close to what Langston and Cole were experiencing, but Cole thought it was “lame." “There sure as hell isn't anything natural about watching my mom die!" he yelled, hurling a chair across the room. Langston took that to mean the floor was hers, so she stood up and voiced her regrets about never saying good-bye to her parents, who'd spent most of her life going around the world helping other children. After the session, Dr. Gibson commended Cole and Langston for sharing the way that they did. Langston agreed to return if Cole would.

At the diner, Antonio ran into Cristian, who was looking forward to his date with Sarah. Cristian called Talia and was eager to come to Cherryvale to take her to dinner. Unfortunately, the Cherryvale PD needed her to cover nights and weekends, so she didn' t know when that would happen. Talia had to go, but called back a few minutes later and said she could get next Thursday off. Turns out Antonio had a previous engagement. They hung up once again. Antonio introduced Cristian to his new partner, Oliver, who said he hoped he could be as useful to Antonio as Talia was, which gave Cristian a good laugh. Talia called back and they tried to make another plan, but still couldn't find a common time to see each other. Nevertheless, Antonio wasn't going to let this get in the way of his romance and phoned Talia to ask if she'd meet him at the toll booth halfway between Llanview and Cherryvale ... when they both have time.

Still in Texas, Michael was nervous about how long Marcie had been in the interrogation room. Agent Sutton returned to inform him and John that Marcie was doing pretty good for someone who was facing life in prison. Michael began to beat himself up over his role in Marcie's predicament and asked his brother for help. Meanwhile, Marcie was led to her cell, where Gigi was also imprisoned. Marcie felt terrible about keeping Gigi from her son, and rocked back and forth as she talked about a dream she had in which she was holding Tommy again. Marcie asked Gigi how Shane was doing, and Gigi started to tear up as she thought about being away from him.

Viki met with Moe and told him she had to say good-bye to the Bon-Jour. She explained that she never set out to deceive anyone, and Moe showed his softer side as she expressed how thankful he was that she walked in the door. Viki was shocked to see Jessica and Natalie arrive at the Bon-Jour. They immediately began to pummel her with questions about her stay in Paris, Texas, and Viki introduced them to Moe. Shane arrived with Noelle and asked Viki if she blames Gigi for Marcie holding her hostage. Viki said of course she didn't. Shane overheard Natalie and Jess talking about the family jet and asked Viki if she was so important, why she couldn't help his mom. She promised that she'd do what she could. Viki had to step out, and asked Natalie and Jessica to stay behind so they'd understand what kept Viki in town for so long. Pretty soon, Natalie and Jessica were chowing down on pie and wondering if Moe was Viki's mystery man.

A guard came to Marcie and Gigi's jail cell to collect Marcie. Just as Michael was begging an officer to help his wife, Marcie was escorted into the room and told him to leave. She said there was nothing he could do for her and acknowledged that she hurt so many people, just as Viki walked in. Meanwhile, Gigi was calling out for a guard and was surprised to see John's face on the other side of the bars.

Thursday

At Bon-Jour, Noelle dished to nosy Jessica and Natalie about Viki's mystery
man, squealing that he was a fine catch before Moe scolded her for meddling
in Viki's personal affairs.

Dorian and Charlie were in the car and in the middle of the woods when they
ran out of gas, or at least that's what Dorian fibbed to Charlie. She paid
her chauffer off to leave them stranded so Charlie would miss to his lunch
date with Jared. When Charlie huffed about how important it was to meet his
old friend, Dorian rolled her eyes and told him she knew Jared was really
his son. Charlie confirmed it was true but begged Dorian not to tell. She
quickly pointed out that Jared was trying to pass himself off as a Buchanan.
Charlie didn't agree with Jared's messy con, but refused to be responsible
for his son's arrest for fraud. Later, Charlie was miffed when he couldn't
call Jared because of poor cell phone reception. Then Dorian showed him the
photo of Viki on the front page of The Sun.

At the police station in Texas, Marcie apologized to Viki for endangering
her life, saying she'd never be able to forgive herself. After Marcie was
led away for her mug shot, Michael begged Viki to forgive him for keeping
the truth about Tommy's paternity a secret for so long.... John questioned
Gigi in her holding cell. She admitted lying about how Todd had tried to
hurt Shane, but she only did it because she thought it would help Marcie.
John called her bluff and pressed her to say Ramsey and Todd really
threatened her.

Blair and Todd returned home, with Sam in tow, to find a surprise party
thrown by Starr and Jack. Todd introduced the child to his siblings and
everyone bonded over the new addition to the family. Later, Blair was
mortified to realize she'd forgotten Starr's birthday and promised to make
it up to her daughter.... Blair was taken aback when Todd suggested they
stay married. When Todd split to go shopping with Starr, Blair was overcome
with emotion as she played with Sam.

Back in Texas, a devastated Marcie was stripped of her personal belongings,
including her wedding ring and family photos, before being sent to her cell.
Viki informed the D.A. that she had no intention of pressing charges against
Marcie, who was grateful and asked Viki to tell Tommy that she loved him.
Later, Viki posted Gigi's bail and they headed back to Bon-Jour where Gigi
happily reunited with Shane. Viki tearfully bid her Paris pals farewell and
returned to Llanview with Natalie and Jessica.

At the diner, Adrianna assured Rex that his past with Gigi didn't bother
her. Then they started making a guest list for their wedding and Rex
realized he didn't have much family to invite. Meanwhile, Jared patiently
waited for Charlie to arrive and smiled as he flashed back to playing Gin
Rummy with his pop when he was a kid, then remembered how much his dad
drank. When Charlie was a no-show, embittered Jared left.

John told Michael he'd keep investigating; Michael was more concerned about
Marcie's mental state.... Blair bonded with little Sam when Margaret
suddenly showed up and snapped, "You're not his mother! I am!"

Friday

At the Buchanan Enterprises offices, Jared and Nash sparred. Nash warned
Jared that when he was through with him, Jared would have nothing left. They
were interrupted by Sarah. Sarah was repulsed by the idea of Jared being her
"uncle."

Meanwhile, Viki flew home from Texas with Jessica and Natalie. Her daughters
still couldn't believe that Viki was in Paris, TX, not France, and that she
hadn't introduced them to her beau, Charlie. Viki explained that she left
home so she could find out what was missing. She then noted that Natalie
never told Viki about Jared. Viki finally informed them that she's been
seeing "Charlie B." "Charlie B good?" Natalie cracked. Ha! Viki filled them
in on how she'd grown close to her one-time customer, Charlie. The girls
wondered if she'd slept with a man whose last name she didn't know. "Since
when is that any of your business?" an understandably appalled Viki shot
back. However, the girls got a kick out of hearing about Viki and Charlie's
first date and first kiss. Viki lamented not knowing where Charlie was. Her
daughters urged her to find him.

Back in Llanview, Dorian told Charlie about Viki having been held hostage.
Dorian lied that Viki is one of her "oldest and dearest friends." Charlie
wondered why Dorian hadn't said anything to him sooner; she fibbed that Viki
had asked her to keep the details of her life — that Viki was a rich and
powerful woman — quiet from him. Charlie was surprised that Viki had kept so
much about herself from him. "Viki is a multi... a multifaceted woman,"
Dorian amended, stopping herself from revealing that Viki had several
personalities. Dorian then revealed that Charlie's son, Jared, is bilking
the family comprised of Viki's ex-husband and kids. She gave him some more
details of Viki's life, then noted that Charlie could tell Viki the truth
about Jared and betray him, or lie to Viki and break her heart. Charlie
didn't think he and Charlie could make amends, but Dorian had more faith in
them reuniting.

Clint and Nora revealed to Bo and Lindsay that they're dating. Bo was
shocked, but laughed at the idea that he's living with Clint's ex, while
Clint's dating his ex. They were relieved that Bo was being so supportive.
Bo planned to head to his board meeting, and Lindsay asked Nora to stick
around so they could talk. After, Nora called Lindsay out on not being
crazy. Lindsay suggested they learn to tolerate each other and insisted that
she did Llanview a favor when she killed Spencer. "Ever since Jen died, I
don't care what anyone thinks," Lindsay stated. Nora was furious with her
for bringing Jen into it; she warned Lindsay that she's going to be keeping
her eye on her. After, Nora went through Lindsay's file, while Lindsay
relaxed at home.

Sarah, Nash, Clint, Bo and Jared met at BE for their meeting. Bo announced
that he'd done a background check on Jared — and couldn't get any
information. Bo then brought in Asa's ex-wife Pamela, hoping she could give
them more information of that period in Asa's life. Pamela refuted Jared's
claim that Asa had had a child with Valerie Banks, the woman Jared said was
his mother.

At home, Blair tried to get to know little Sam, but was interrupted by a
vision of Margaret, who demanded that Blair hand over "T.J." "I'm just
having a nightmare," said Blair. "This nightmare is your life," replied
Marge. "You're dead," Blair stammered. "Oh, I've been dead before," Margaret
answered. When Blair began screaming at Margaret, a concerned Addie came
downstairs. Blair realized that Margaret wasn't actually there. Addie
offered Blair something to calm her, but Blair turned her down. Addie really
wanted to take care of her daughter and urged her to talk to her. Blair
confessed that she'd "seen" Marge. Addie noted that Blair's under an
enormous amount of stress and mused that Sam was reminding Blair of
Margaret. Blair feared that deep down she didn't want to raise Sam and hoped
she'd be able to love him. Addie advised her to deal with her fears and
doubts now so she'd be able to do so. "He's so lucky to have you," Addie
told her. "I'm lucky to have you," Addie replied, pulling Blair into a hug.
Awww. Blair then had another vision of Margaret. "You will never love my
little Todd, Jr.," said Margaret. "Never!"
