One Life To Live Recaps
OLTL Week of July 28, 2008
Monday
As the storm raged outside, Marty continued to question Todd for pieces of her past, especially her traumatic rape. Marty was able to get Todd to reveal that one of her rapists is out on the streets. "He suffered enough," Todd said. "He's still suffering." Todd then admitted that he could have stopped the rape but he was a coward. Marty told Todd to stop beating himself up and thanked him for all that he has done for her. (If she only knew!) She then asked Todd to stay with her. Todd pulled up a chair and vowed to never let anything hurt her again.
Charlie showed up at the hospital to visit Viki. He was relieved that she was going to be okay and was visibly shaken by her accident. She was surprised to learn that Dorian had told Charlie about the accident. Viki then mentioned that she was suspicious of Dorian's newfound benevolence. Viki told Charlie that Dorian admitted that the two of them did not sleep together. Charlie was furious that he still can't remember the details of how his blackout began. After a nurse mentioned Viki's near-death experience, Charlie was floored to realize how close he came to losing Viki permanently. He expressed how grateful he was for the chance to make things up to her. Viki got teary when Charlie proclaimed his love for her. Viki admitted she missed him, but, "I'm not equipped to make a decision tonight." He said no worries. Viki then asked Charlie to stay with her. "For as long as you want," he replied.
At the diner, Dorian flaunted her power over David, (i.e. his divorce
papers). He demanded them back or else he'd go to Viki and spill the details of how Dorian had to be bribed to save Viki's life. To break up the argument, Addie grabbed the papers and ripped them up. "Now nobody has these papers," Addie grinned. Dorian barked that they were copies of the papers so ripping them up did no good. Addie asked for an explanation of what was going on. David reluctantly said, "I'm leaving you." Addie's stare grew blank and she commented that it was raining. Dorian told her sister that she was behind David's decision and she's just doing what's best. Addie told Dorian to butt out of her life. She admitted that she and David have been using each other and she knows it. "That's what marriage is," Addie added.
Addie accused Dorian of being jealous and stated she doesn't need Dorian's protection. Addie kissed David and said she had no intention of giving up her husband. Addie left and Dorian told David he can kiss the Cramer money good-bye. After she walked out, David took out the 10 million dollar check and burned it, then sighed.
A drenched John and Blair ran into his place from the rain and toweled off. The romantic chemistry was sizzling. John told Blair she could stay if she wanted to. "There's no way you'll get a cab at this hour," he whispered. "We're just going to have to ride the storm out right here," she leered back. As they rummaged for something for Blair to wear, she joked about his taste in clothing ("Everything is black!") They gave into their feelings and kissed, then fell onto the bed.
Tuesday
Blair woke up beside John and asked if he had any regrets about what happened between them. He didn't — much to Blair's relief. She said a night of being close to someone is just what she needed, and asked what happens next. John copped to not being too good at talking about these kind of things, so Blair did the talking. She said they're friends, she trusts him and is attracted to him. She voiced no regrets but they both agreed that they're not ready to get involved romantically. Blair pointed out that he's still hung up on Marty, but John argued that regardless of that, he's a loner and can't be involved with anyone.
Meanwhile, Marty woke up to find Todd wrapped up in a blanket in a chair next to her. She broke out in laughter and admitted to feeling good for the first time in awhile. Todd beamed as he confessed that he really enjoys having her in the house. Todd clearly had Marty wrapped around his little
finger when she remarked that Blair must have a screw loose if she gave up Todd for John. Todd seemed genuinely happy as she exited Marty's room.
In Mendorra, Tina rushed to see Antonio in the dungeon and was forced to tell him that Sarah and Cristian had gone over the Mendorran falls. Antonio didn't want to believe it, but Tina reasoned that the falls were so steep that they couldn't have survived. Carlo, meanwhile, was giddy about his daughter's impending marriage and went to check on her. Antonio revealed that Carlo has one weakness: his Talia.
Jonas visited his bride-to-be while his aides waited to dress her in an exquisite wedding gown. Talia was livid and refused to marry Jonas, which she expressed to Carlo. Nevertheless, she agreed to go through with his plan if he promised not to hurt Antonio. Carlo promised, just as Jonas showed up outside Antonio's cell clutching a knife.
Gigi rushed to Carlotta's side once she heard the diner had burned down. Carlotta was stumped about what had caused the fire, and Gigi wished she could call Rex to do some investigating. Little did she know, Rex woke up and told Bo that he dreamt they had gone to 1968, but when Nigel look-alike
Chuck brought in a newspaper from 1968, the guys knew where they really were. Bo tried to call home but found that their area code, 267, didn't exist in the United States. Rex was still in a state of disbelief, while Bo seemed a little more accepting of their plight. He gathered that Rex is Bo and Bo is Asa, but what Bo didn't understand was why Chuck Sr. looked just like Nigel and Emma could double for Gigi. Just as Rex made mention of "Asa" sleeping with Bo, a disheveled woman who was a dead ringer for Lindsay came in and asked who her husband's been sleeping with. The crazy lady promptly explained that she's Olympia. Chuck reminded Asa that there is an institution outside of Houston that would take really good care of Olympia.
She came walking over to her "little boy Bo" and noticed the wedding ring on his finger. Bo ordered Rex to just pretend the ring is a joke. "I'm not lettin' them take you away!" Olympia shouted. "Bo" insisted that he's not going anywhere, then Rex quietly asked Bo what she's talking about. Olympia cried that she knows what's going on and that Asa is sending Bo to fight in the Vietnam War! A look of terror came over Rex's face as he explained that the war would last another five years. Bo broke it to Rex that he doesn't have a choice but to ship out because that's what happened before, and pointed out that Bo did make it back in one piece. Rex was elated when Chuck brought in the "strange thing" he found outside — Rex's cell phone!
Brody met Gigi at the diner and tried to explain that he wants to start over. He asked her out on a date and Gigi was tongue-tied. She said she could hardly think about dating anyone right now, given that she just lost another job and has to find health insurance for Shane. John and Blair came by for breakfast and were surprised to see the damage. When Blair noted that
they must have slept through the sirens, a nearby Todd overheard and asked if they slept together. Gigi tried to help Carlotta, but she told Gigi to go look for a new job and not worry about the diner. "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away," Carlotta shrugged. Meanwhile, Rex examined his charred
cell phone and tried to call Gigi. It rang and she excitedly picked up.
Wednesday
Rex was thrilled to connect to Gigi via his cell phone but the static was so bad that she could barely understand what he was saying. He tried to tell her that he was stuck in 1968, and all she heard was "68" and "Vietnam." Bo was strangely calm after Rex lost the call and said they'll have to go to Plan B. Bo assured Rex that he got through Vietnam and Rex will, too, but Rex was afraid that if he dies, it'll change the course of history. Bo suggested they "follow the pie" and go with the idea that Rex is Bo and Bo is Asa.
Natalie was worried that Viki hadn't come home yet, but "Jessica" didn't seem too concerned ... until Viki walked right in and announced that she was technically dead for a little while. Tess was speechless, while Natalie felt terrible for not knowing about what happened to her mom. Viki said the car is in the shop now, so soon they'll know what caused the accident, and admitted to remembering nothing but a peaceful feeling about her time away
from Earth. Viki also revealed that she was asked by an organization to tour the world talking about organ donation, but Jessica strongly urged that she get out of town. After Viki left the house, Tess talked to the baby and informed him/her that she has something terrible planned for Natalie and Jared. "A fate worse than death," she declared.
The royal wedding in Mendorra was about to commence, but Jonas had one thing to take care of first. With a knife behind his back, he entered the dungeon and instructed the guards to bring Cain and Tina to the wedding. Once he and Antonio were alone, Jonas held a knife to Antonio's chest and sneered that Talia would get over him. Antonio leapt at Jonas but received a knife in the stomach. "You tell her I love her," he requested before crumpling into a
heap on the floor. Meanwhile, Talia insisted to Carlo that she see Antonio before the wedding begins. As Jonas arrived in his regal wedding attire, Antonio was still struggling on the dungeon floor. Carlo promised Talia that she'd see Antonio after the wedding, and as loud horns heralded the start of the ceremony, Talia warned Carlo that she'd kill him if anything happened to Antonio. Meanwhile, a hooded figure lifted Antonio up off the ground.
When Todd assumed that Blair and John had slept together, Blair didn't deny it and just said he'll think what he wants anyway. Todd dropped the bombshell (and partial truth) that he "slept with a chick" last night. Todd beamed that all he did was sleep in the same room as this woman because he really respects her, then cracked to John that he better get himself tested for STDs. Todd then taunted Blair some more about the woman at his house,
saying Blair was close enough that she could smell the lady when she came by the house. "She's pure and sweet," he spat, suggesting that John was only thinking of Marty when he slept with Blair. John was silent for a moment, then delivered a punch to Todd's jaw, sending him to the ground and finally on his way. Blair was upset by the whole exchange and suggested to John that
they just forget what happened the night before. He said he's fine with whatever she wants but urged her not to let Todd get to her. Just as he gave her a kiss good-bye and walked away, Todd was seen lurking near the fountain.
Brody introduced himself to Charlie in the park and both men recalled informally meeting each other at AA the night before. Brody realized that Charlie knew his and Gigi's secret about Shane, but Charlie assured him that what's said in the meetings stays there. Charlie confessed to being the guy who lied about Rex's paternity, so they established that they have something
in common. Nevertheless, Charlie was conflicted about keeping the truth from Rex. Gigi arrived in a frenzy and announced that Rex needs their help. Before taking off, Charlie left Brody with a statement that was cryptic to Gigi: "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." At the diner, Charlie helped Carlotta find an important memento among the rubble. Afterward, he ducked out to call the hospital and check on Viki, and was surprised to see Viki standing in the square.
Bo and Rex arrived at the site of the Bonjour Café and found it was a hippie hangout called the Good Day Café. They asked Jeremiah Stubbs, who was a clearly an ancestor of Moe, if he'd seen Emma Bradley around. Jeremiah knew who she was and said Emma had told her kid that he could come back for the "peach pie." Meanwhile, Gigi dialed Rex's phone and Chuck, III,
answered in the present, telling Gigi he hadn't seen Rex nor Bo since yesterday. In 1968, a feisty redhead came right up to "Asa" at the diner and socked him in the face.
Thursday
Carlo presented the very 19th-century, peasant-like people of Mendorra with their new king and queen, Jonas and Talia, while Cristian was revealed to be the hooded figure who'd come to save Antonio. "Stop the wedding," Antonio whispered. Before Cristian could sneak Antonio out of the dungeon, Antonio inquired as to Sarah's whereabouts. Cristian broke it to Antonio that Sarah is gone. Meanwhile, Cain tried to get him and Tina out of their scheduled beheading, but Carlo reminded the people of Mendorra that treachery merits punishment. Talia looked on in disgust, and was even more grossed-out as Carlo lead her to the altar to marry Jonas. The nuptials proceeded as a cloaked Cristian rolled Antonio's "dead body" out of the cell and informed the guards he needs to take the corpse to the sanctuary before cremation. When the guards became suspicious, Cristian was forced to knock them out. Meanwhile, the priest asked if Talia takes Jonas to be her husband and the sassy bride answered, "Hell no!" Carlo and Talia went back to their bartering, this time agreeing that she'd marry Jonas to save Tina and Cain's lives. Talia was less than thrilled as she and Jonas were pronounced husband and wife and Carlo announced the royal couple.
At La Boulaie, another wedding was about to take place, as David surprised Addie with a minister and a violinist in the living room. Starr caught Blair coming home after a night out and cracked, "Just hope you used protection." But warmer moments prevailed as Blair began singing to Starr's belly, prompting Starr to do the same. The baby suddenly kicked and both women were delighted. Dorian ordered the wedding to stop, while David told Addie that that's her decision to make. Addie seemed tempted by the whole affair, but reminded David that they were never in love and even revealed that dumping David was on her to-do list! She pulled out the list to show him, and sure enough, "Divorce David" was on No. 4, right before her nudist cruise around the world. The last thing on her list is love, she declared. Dorian was relieved that David would finally be leaving La Boulaie. Addie kissed David good-bye as a hilarious montage showed clips of their unconventional romance, and sent David on his way with "D.V." the dog.
Cole consulted Nora on his chances of adopting Starr's baby. Nora painted a not-so-pretty picture of how this process was going to go, describing family court as a brutal and personal battle. Clint received a surprise visit from Dallas in the present, while a redheaded version of Dallas named Renee slapped Asa around in 1968. Bo tried his best to play the role of Asa for Renee's sake as she reamed him out for "toyin' with the affections" of her employee, Gigi. She asked if Asa's going to honor his promise to live happily ever after with Emma or if he's going to cut her loose, like he did to Renee. Meanwhile, Clint and Dallas caught up over old times in London and Clint revealed that he and Nora are an item. Dallas was amused, noting that must make for some interesting dinner parties.
Viki ran into Charlie in Angel Square and informed him of her plan to promote organ donation around the world. Even though she'd died the day before, she insisted that her cardiologist declared her "absolutely fine." She expressed her concerns about Jessica, and hinted that she was unhappy about being so far away from Charlie, too. Before parting ways, Charlie gave her a token symbolizing his 30 days of sobriety and asked her to keep it with her on her trip, suggesting that they trade it for a 60-day one when she returns. She agreed to do so, and headed out.
In Texas, Jeremiah tweaked out Rex when he asked if Rex had ever been to a love-in, while Renee and her crazy haircut continued to berate "Asa." She warned that him that Emma's prepared to do something awful to him, then followed Jeremiah to the kitchen for something to take the edge off. The camera got all wobbly to display Renee's enlightened state of mind, while Jeremiah was having a case of the munchies. Renee returned to Asa's table and very calmly asked him to fix this mess with Emma, just as Emma walked in with Spencer and caught Rex's eye.
Cole made an unexpected visit to La Boulaie, where he presented Starr with a legal document showing that he'd give up his rights to Starr's baby. Her happiness was quickly deflated when Cole informed her that this doesn't mean they're getting back together.
Friday
In Mendorra, the people applauded for their new king and queen as Cristian and Antonio arrived disguised as guards. Antonio didn't look too hot after nearly bleeding to death an hour earlier. Nevertheless, the two hatched an escape plan and agreed to meet at the "strip." After the wedding, Jonas escorted his new bride to their honeymoon suite. When she rejected his advances, he sneered that Antonio's already dead, just as Antonio approached the bedroom. Meanwhile, Carlo announced to the people of Mendorra that Tina and Cain would pay for their treachery in blood.
At the diner, Asa broke it to Emma that he's not in love with her,
explaining that he's not the most available cowboy around, and urged her to find someone closer to her age. Rex handled a difficult Spencer, who asked where he could get his hands on some "small animals." Rex looked horrified.
The bartender at Rodi's refused to serve David because he brought in a dog, but David made the bartender take pity on him by explaining that he just got divorced. When the bartender mentioned the fire at the diner, David thought back to burning Clint's check the night before and realized he started the fire. At a nearby table, Michael and John were having lunch. Michael admitted that he saw Blair come out of John's room this morning and was happy for him, but John said there wasn't anything to be happy about. John
shared with Michael that he talked to Marcie, who said she misses Michael but still plans to adopt Starr's baby. Marcie arrived and John gave the couple some alone time. Neither Marcie nor Michael seemed willing to budge on their disagreement. John headed to the bar and ended up chatting with David, who wondered aloud if he and Spencer would have been better people if they hadn't been raised by Ned Truman. As he was leaving the bar, he passed
a mirror and was stunned not to see his reflection for a moment.
After being dumped by Asa, Emma lamented to Bo about needing a good father for Spencer. She was a little taken aback when Rex assumed to know more about her than he does. Meanwhile, Renee commended Asa on the gentle and honest way he let down Emma.
Back at his house, Todd whined to Marty about seeing John and Blair together that morning. Marty was sympathetic as Todd said they were really rubbing their affair in his face. When Marty wondered whether she and John would still be together if she hadn't died, Todd reiterated that John left her to die. Todd thanked Marty for her sympathetic ear, and she confessed to caring about his wellbeing.
Cole told Starr there is no "us" after she thought the legal document was a good sign for them as a couple. Starr begged him to be there for her during the pregnancy and said she would never let Cole go. "You already did," he said. She threw her arms around him and pleaded with him not to go, even giving him a big, passionate kiss. Cole brushed her away, explaining that they can't get past everything that's happened. While it killed him to do so, he said he couldn't be a part of their baby's life and walked out. Cole
called Todd afterward to tell him the news, while Starr called Marcie and informed her that Cole signed away his rights and nothing can stop the adoption from taking place.
