One Life To Live Recaps

OLTL Week of May 4, 2009

Monday

Starr begged her dad to let her go back to La Boulaie, while Cole imagined that Matthew was taunting him to jump out the window. He suggested that if Cole was paralyzed, too, then they'd be even. "You're right," Cole shuddered, gripping the window ledge. Cole nearly threw himself out the window when Starr rushed in. Cole couldn't believe that Starr was really there, but she assured him he wasn't hallucinating anymore.

Viki was curious as to why Brody was hiding in the bushes and demanded an explanation. Brody began to tell Viki that he really cares for Jessica, but Natalie came out and gave him hell. Jessica and Brody pretended not to get along for Natalie's benefit, but when Nat was gone, Jess explained to her mom that Gigi's in a real bind and insisted that Brody is not a bad person.

Gigi and Rex returned home with Shane, who quickly told them to stop pretending that everything is okay. "If you're gonna move out, just go already," Shane frowned. Rex assured Shane that he would still be in his life and this wouldn't change anything. Shane went upstairs in tears, while
Gigi sobbed on the couch in the wake of Rex's exit.

Stacy talked to a sleeping bum while applying her makeup and asked how she looked. The woman woke up and asked for a dollar. When Stacy handed it over, the bum remarked that Stacy looks like a prostitute, then suggested that she
play the "damsel in distress" to seduce Rex.

After her curious run-in with Brody and Jessica, Viki headed over to the carriage house to check on Gigi. She noted how Gigi was so happy before Stacy came to town and asked if Rex moved out because of Stacy. Gigi insisted that it was Brody who came between them but Viki surmised that there's more going on and that she doesn't believe Gigi cheated on Rex. Meanwhile, Stacy showed up at Rex's with a sob story about how Schuyler kicked her out. She asked whether Rex bought Schuyler's claim about Stacy supplying someone else's blood for Shane, but Rex thought it was preposterous. Rex readily agreed to let Stacy stay, then went to get her
some towels and sheets. "This is easier than I thought, Sissy," she sneered to a photo of Gigi while Rex was gone. When he returned, she noticed how sad he looked and asked if he's sure he's okay. He said he'd been through a lot but nothing was worse than this. Rex left her alone on the couch, and she
gave a little ho-hum frown.

John offered Marty the only bed in their hotel room, but she pointed out that it's not like they'd never spend the night together. John looked around the room and observed that it wasn't dissimilar to the place they'd spent their one night together. "One? Was it that bad?" Marty asked. He told
everything, that they were on an impromptu road trip and made love at the motel, then Marty was kidnapped. They leaned in closer to one another as John said how meaningful that night was. They seemed close to kissing, but went to bed and held each other instead. "Thank you for telling me about
us," she whispered as he curled up behind her.

Blair showed up at Todd's demanding to see the kids. She revealed that she fled her hospital bed when she heard he'd gotten custody and wanted to make sure he wasn't running off with the kids. Todd refused to hand over their children, so she plopped down on the couch and said if the kids are gonna
stay there, so is she.

Viki failed to get through to Gigi, and once she was gone, Shane came back downstairs and apologized to his mom. Brody and Jessica resumed kissing in the garden and admitted that they were both turned on by pretending to be
angry with each other. Back at La Boulaie, Cole told Starr that he loves her and curled up in her arms.

Tuesday

While playing house at Rex's loft, Stacy brought over a tray of food to Rex, who was still asleep. Both he and Gigi were dreaming that Shane was in remission and that they were getting married. Stacy kicked off her slippers and got into Rex's bed. Thinking it was Gigi, he was about to kiss her when he woke up and saw the wrong Morasco lying next to him. Stacy lied that he grabbed her in his sleep and presented him with the big breakfast she made. While Rex was in the shower, Stacy answered Rex's phone when she saw that Gigi was calling and put the fear of God into her by yawning and saying he just woke up. Rex walked in on Stacy arguing with Gigi and asked to see his phone. Gigi asked him to come over so they could work out what days Rex would get to see Shane. Stacy barked that seeing Gigi is the last thing Rex needs.

After accidentally spraying her with paint, Cristian showed Layla a painting he'd made while coping with Talia's death. Layla said she missed Talia so much but is glad she has Aziza (the dog) to keep her company. Cristian suggested she try releasing her emotions on a blank canvas. She made a messy red painting, then said she had to go back for her big move to Maryland. When he asked if she really has to move, she explained that she doesn't have any other options.

Schuyler snuck into the hospital lab while Kyle was out and hacked into the computer system in an effort to bust Stacy and her fake stem-cell plan. Meanwhile, Kyle asked Roxy for a room at the hotel in exchange for his silence. Starr walked Cole to the rehab center, and they talked about the last time they'd shared a bed together. She remembered him saying how much he loves Starr while he was asleep, but she didn't tell him what he said. Rachel was shocked to see an MIA Cole and assumed Starr was there to help him pass another drug test. Cole explained that Starr helped him get clean,
and Rachel noticed that Cole did seem better. When his test came back clean, Rachel was impressed.

Starr ran into Schuyler at the lab and apologized for how crazy she was acting. He accepted, remarking that in another life, they might just be friends. Cole was visibly upset to find them together, but Starr claimed they were just saying good-bye. After running into an unseen person in the hallway, Kyle returned to the lab to find Starr and Cole waiting for the test results about Hope. When he returned, he revealed that Hope wasn't their baby.

While Rex was out, Shane dropped by the loft to see his dad and found Stacy in her leopard-print teddy. Shane, genius that he is, asked if it was Stacy's fault that his parents broke up and requested that she be honest. She claimed that someone is at fault for the split, but it's not her, then blabbed that Gigi cheated on Rex.

At the carriage house, Rex and Gigi ended up rehashing some of the bad things that happened between them. Gigi lied that she got Rex's test results from the night he thought Stacy drugged him and that they were negative. He said he couldn't believe he dreamed about marrying her and they both realized that they'd had the same dream. He said he'd been so happy to announce to Shane that they were getting married in the dream. Suddenly, they were kissing.

Wednesday

Rex and Gigi broke from their sudden kiss and Rex pointed out that she can't have him and Brody. Over at the loft, Shane refused to believe that Gigi would hurt Rex the way Stacy said she did. But when he demanded to know who Gigi cheated with, Stacy revealed that it was Brody. Stacy was pleased with herself when Shane stalked off to confront his mom. She assumed Shane had returned when she heard a knock on the door, but when she opened it, she was practically strangled by her former boss. He demanded that she repay her debts and started going through her things looking for money. Stacy said she didn't have the money, so he suggested she start paying up with a lap dance. Once Stan was gone, she started pulling out stacks of bills from her suitcase.

At Rodi's, Jessica ran into Brody, who suggested they get some alone time that afternoon, but she was eating with her family. Jessica had to explain to a confused Charlie what happened between Brody and Gigi. When Jessica received a flirtatious text message from Brody, Charlie pointed out that she looked awfully flushed.

Natalie headed over to the carriage house looking for Gigi and found Rex sitting on the stairs alone. She revealed that she's "unasking" Gigi to be her bridesmaid. Rex admitted that he's still not thoroughly convinced of Gigi's infidelity. When Natalie mentioned that Brody was hiding in the Llanfair bushes waiting for Jessica the night before, Rex assumed that Brody was two-timing Gigi and wanted to confront him. Brody, meanwhile, received a
surprise visit from Jessica.

Marcie told her students to focus on their term papers and not think about the prom until later. Langston and Markko exchanged a sexy look, and exchanged e-mails about "Operation Deflower." Langston freaked out when she realized Markko didn't buy condoms yet, and whispered out loud, "You didn't buy the condoms?" Marcie asked if they had something to share with the class and everyone giggled. After class, Marcie credited herself with setting up Langston and Markko at the prom two years ago. Langston pulled Markko into the hallway and asked why he hadn't gotten the condoms yet. He promised he would get them later; he was just a little nervous. Lola overheard the whole conversation and realized she hit the jackpot.

Kyle explained to Starr and Cole that the results are conclusive: They're not the biological parents of whoever's lock of hair Starr has. Starr explained that the lock of hair was given to her by Dr. Joplin, but Kyle suggested there was a mix-up. Kyle thought back to his meeting with Natalie and Jared and started doing a little Internet research on Natalie. Cole and a grief-stricken Starr headed to Rodi's. "If it's not our baby's hair, then whose is it?" Starr wondered. Cole admitted that he frequently dreams of Hope, as did Starr. Back at the lab, Kyle found a match for the Manning/Thornhart DNA.

Natalie showed up at Rodi's and rudely announced to Gigi that she's no longer her bridesmaid. Jared asked Natalie what's going on. Viki warned her that appearances can be very deceiving. Shane walked in and asked Gigi if she cheated on Rex with Brody, loud enough for the whole bar to hear. She was forced to lie to her son that she did cheat, which made Shane declare that he doesn't want to live with her anymore. Gigi went home with Shane, who was determined to move out. "This is all your fault," he cried. "I hate you!" She begged Shane not to leave but he ran off.

After overhearing Shane and Gigi's argument, Natalie sided with Shane, while Viki felt sympathy for Gigi. Their lunch was interrupted by a call from Kyle asking Natalie and Jared to come to the hospital right away, so she lied that it was the caterer. She and Jared rushed to meet Kyle, who dropped the bombshell that Jessica stole Starr's baby.

When Rex spied a Rodi's T-shirt lying on Brody's chair, he assumed Brody had just been with Gigi. He was furious, since she'd run out of the carriage house claming she was late for work. When Rex cried out that Gigi's a liar and a slut, Brody decked him. Rex went back to his loft and relayed the events of the day to Stacy. He explained that he had convinced himself that Gigi and Brody weren't really together but learned that's not the case. "I wonder how she'd like it if she walked in on me," he posited, then impulsively kissed Stacy.

Thursday

Téa sashayed into Todd's wearing a purple raincoat and flashed her leopard-print lingerie, just as Jack walked in and Blair had to cover his eyes. Jack threatened to go to school and tell his little buddies about the half-naked woman in his house. Téa apologized to Blair, explaining that she assumed Todd would be alone. Blair, who was wearing Todd's robe, gloated that she spent the night, which made Téa jealous. Todd didn't deny it, so Téa dragged him outside and teased him by saying that if he's sleeping with Blair, he's sleeping with John, too. When she threatened to make a booty call to R.J., Todd finally confessed that he didn't sleep with Blair and he was just having fun torturing Téa. He opened up her coat and started to kiss her chest, just as a courier came up to them with a mysterious-looking envelope. Téa noted that she had gotten one, too.

Rex kissed Stacy in a moment of anger, just as Gigi was calling his cell phone from Rodi's. Gigi left a message to let him know that Shane is on his way over. Marcie comforted an anxious Gigi but was interrupted by Michael. Rex continued to kiss Stacy and pulled her over toward the bed, then stopped when his cell phone beeped. Shane showed up and asked to move in. Rex was okay with it but called Gigi to see what was going on. Rex agreed to temporarily let Shane stay with them, but Stacy asked if he was sure it's a good idea. When Shane admitted that he knocked Stacy's hairdryer into the toilet, Stacy freaked out and went to sulk. She sat down on the bed and looked at the family photo of Rex, Gigi and Shane again, and imagined that she was in Gigi's place, then covered up Shane's little head with her finger.

Kyle summoned Natalie and Jared to the lab to announce that he figured out they're hiding the truth about Jessica's baby. Natalie and Jared refused to say anything, so Kyle threatened to call Jessica and ask if she switched the babies. Jared explained that Jessica is very "fragile" and isn't aware of what she did. "If you had a sister in trouble, wouldn't you do anything to protect her?" Jared asked, clearly hitting a nerve. Kyle demanded $100,000 in exchange for his silence.

John called the Sitwell Institute pretending to be Powell's cousin, and Dr. Kwon lied that she didn't know anyone by the name of "Dr. Saybrooke" even though John had the sign-in sheet with multiple visits from her in front of him. After she got off the phone, Ellen turned to a curly-haired woman and said, "Is that all right, Dr. Saybrooke?" The woman looked in at Powell and told Ellen that with her help, Powell will get his life back. But when she visited Powell and threw her arms around him, it was revealed that "Dr. Saybrooke" is really Rebecca Lewis. Meanwhile, John informed Marty that he'd done a little research on Powell's old cronies and learned that Rebecca has a brother in Llanview — Kyle Lewis, the lab tech at Llanview Hospital. Before he took off for the mental hospital, he handed Marty a gun and told her how to use it.

Marty called to check on Cole and assured him he'd be home soon. Meanwhile, Marcie asked Starr what it is she needs to talk to them about. Starr revealed that she and Cole would like to have Hope's body exhumed. Marcie was confused. Starr explained that the lock of hair didn't link Cole and Starr to the baby they buried, so they need another DNA sample to figure out why Hope died.

Kyle made a phone call to Rebecca and said he didn't need that loan he mentioned earlier. Rebecca hung up when she heard someone behind her. "Dr. Saybrooke?" John called out. He headed for Powell's cell and found Dr. Kwon in the corner wearing a straitjacket. He rushed in and laid the unconscious woman on the floor, then found an envelope tucked in the jacket labeled "John McBain." Rebecca shut the door behind him. Meanwhile, Marty received a similar envelope, just as Téa, Blair and Todd opened theirs to find invitations to the KAD Spring Fling.

Friday

Bo and Nora were awkward with each other at the mansion, but Bo insisted that they talk. The doorbell rang and it was Cole and Starr wanting to see Bo. Bo admitted that he'd been avoiding running into Cole, for fear of what he might do to him. Cole explained that he'd been doing a lot of soul-searching and was trying really hard to kick his habit. Starr revealed that they have something else they need to discuss. They expressed their concern about Hope's death and requested that Bo sign off on having Hope's body exhumed. Cole pleaded with Bo for Starr's sake, and he agreed.

Matthew watched the other kids play in gym class and tried to approach Destiny about the unfair things he said. Justin called Matthew "training wheels" and threw a basketball at him (really!). Then he teased Destiny and suggested that Matthew take her to the prom because she surely doesn't have a date. After some more merciless teasing, Justin and Becca walked off, and Matthew asked for Destiny's forgiveness. He even asked if she'd go to the prom with him, but she claimed to have a date. Later, she made a call begging someone to help her. Meanwhile, Markko and Langston made final plans for "Operation Deflower" and when she mentioned the condoms again, he got nervous. Lola (remember her?) eavesdropped on their condom-buying conversation.

Blair wondered what kind of psycho would send them invitations to the Spring Fling, while John opened his envelope at the Sitwell Institute and pleaded with Rebecca to let him out. At the motel, Marty grabbed her invite and tried to make a phone call but suddenly became woozy and dropped to her knees. John asked Rebecca why she's helping Powell, but she walked off. John called Marty, who was holding the gun he gave her. She explained that an invitation was slipped under the door. John told her not to open the door to anyone, but she crawled over to the door and passed out with her hand on it. Someone entered and hung up Marty's phone. John suddenly felt out of it, too. Rebecca walked in and explained what's going on. John shakily aimed a gun at her. Blair suffered the same symptoms after handling the card, then Té, then Todd. Marty opened her eyes for a moment and saw Powell standing over her.

At the asylum, "Dr. Saybrooke" managed to get some attendants to subdue John and wrestle the gun away from him. She produced the notice for John's arrest and claimed he's a serial killer. Meanwhile, Todd reached out for his phone when he saw that Marty was calling. It was Powell asking if he got the invitation. "I'll see ya at the Spring Fling," Powell said before hanging up. Rebecca rushed over to the motel to meet Powell. "We're finally gonna have it all," he smiled as they embraced. Meanwhile, John begged the attendant to call Bo Buchanan at the Llanview PD, then passed out. Jack came running downstairs looking for "Flasher Lady" and found Todd, Té and Blair on the floor, just as Rebecca and Powell dragged Marty out of the motel room.

Dorian was leaving a message for Blair when Lola walked in and pretended to feel sorry for herself. Dorian offered to give Lola a second chance to become part of their family. Lola whined about feeling more like a girl than a woman, and Dorian was curious to hear why. Lola closed the doors to the parlor and revealed that Markko may be pressuring Langston do something she's not ready to do. She even mentioned "Operation Deflower." Dorian didn't believe, or want to believe, that Langston is planning to lose her virginity. Meanwhile, Markko walked Langston home and promised he was buying condoms afterward.

After Starr left the Buchanan mansion, Nora praised Cole for being brave enough to come over. She said she understood that not knowing why your child died is even tougher than her dying. Cole opened the door to leave, and came face-to-face with Matthew. Nora lamented to Bo how one random act can cause so much damage, and finally admitted that they should talk about what happened in the car. Starr returned to La Boulaie to find Langston in a frenzy. Langston revealed that she and Markko are gonna go "all the way," which Dorian overheard.
