One Life To Live Recaps

OLTL Week of October 5, 2009

Monday

Blair explained to Todd that his marriage is invalid because Téa is already married, but he didn't believe her. Blair then dropped the bombshell that Téa is Mrs. Ross Rayburn, just as Téa came face-to-face with her husband in the cabana. Ross pretended to be surprised to hear that she'd just married Todd and asked how she could forget what they had so easily. Blair continued to try to get through to Todd, recounting her trip to Tahiti. As Todd thought back to his sketchy conversation with Téa, in which she came close to saying more about what happened with Ross, he started to buy the validity of her claim. Téa wanted answers from Ross, realizing that he's there because of Blair. Téa started to put two and two together from the day before, when she'd heard Blair getting it on with someone in the cabana, but Ross assured her that was just a hoax.

Natalie found Jared standing over a dead body, who Jared claimed was the same man who'd been stalking Jessica. At the PD, John showed Jessica and Brody a photo of the same man, explaining he was the one lurking outside of Llanfair. He went on to explain that the stalker's name is Wayne Landers, and he's an ex-con. Meanwhile, Natalie asked Jared why he picked up the murder weapon, and he swore that the guy was already dead before he got there. Jared asked if his wife believes him; Natalie nervously denied his insinuation but noted that it looks bad. Natalie decided to call Bo.

Bo saw Nora at Rodi's and asked why she was looking so glum. She explained that she'd failed to get Matthew's ruling overturned but came up with the idea of persuading Dr. Evans against performing the surgery. Matthew rolled up and told them not to bother; Dr. Evans won't do the surgery because of what happened to Shaun. Their conversation was interrupted with a call from Natalie, who told Bo it was an emergency. Once Bo was gone, Nora asked Matthew if they could go back to being mother and son. Matthew coolly informed his mom that he's going to find another doctor to operate on him.

Jessica and Brody came home to find a dead body on the terrace, just as Bo arrived on the scene. Brody phoned McBain to let him know what was going on. When John showed up, he remarked to Jared that Wayne Landers must look familiar, seeing as they were in prison together. Jared immediately claimed that he's never seen this man in his life. John picked up the deceased's cell phone and decided to see who the last person he spoke with was. When he dialed the number, Jared's phone began to ring.

While brainstorming about how to win the gay vote, Dorian came up with the idea of having David pose as a homosexual. With his penchant for personal grooming, she noted that she's not so far off base. When the doorbell began to ring incessantly, Dorian answered to the woman who often appears to her as her late husband, Mel, but the woman said she didn't know any Mel and introduced herself as Amelia Bennett. She went on to explain that she'd like to join Dorian's campaign, and disclosed that she is a lesbian. Jackpot! Dorian promptly replaced David with Amelia as her campaign manager. "That was easier than I thought," Amelia gloated to herself when Dorian and David were out of earshot.

Blair returned to the cabana and told Ross that everything is her control now. Téa, meanwhile, retreated to Todd's and asked him to sit down. As she began to spill about her marriage to Ross, Todd interrupted her and said he'd never imagine she could do this to him. "You're married to another man, Téa," he sighed.

Tuesday

Todd told a stunned Téa that she was still married to another man, and
asked her if she married Ross Rayburn. "Yes," she said. Todd remembered all
the past lies Téa had told. Furious, Todd cleared the dining room table with a sweep of his hand. "You are a real piece of work," he said. Téa claimed she’d been waiting until the time was right to tell him about Ross. "Blair beat you to the punch," Todd spat. Téa swore she never meant to hurt Todd, ever. "Please don't let that anger blind you to the truth," Téa begged a furious Todd, insisting that she was no longer married to Ross. There were no papers filed for their divorce in Tahiti, reported Todd. A stunned Téa didn't know what to say. Todd made it clear that the marriage was off and showed her the door. "If you had just told me," Todd said, furious that he had found out from Blair. "You are far more rotten than I ever was," he
screamed. Todd slammed the door in Téa's face and tore up the wrestling tickets she had bought for their family.

Blair delighted in telling Ross that she had told Todd the truth. Ross
insinuated that there was more Téa was hiding. Blair demanded he spit it out. Ross laughed and accused her of being desperate for Manning.
"Why else would you be here harping at me?" he smirked. Blair predicted that
Todd was "dropping Téa as we speak." Blair said goodbye to
Ross, who still wanted a chance with her. Blair claimed she was over Todd
and then made it clear to Ross that she wanted nothing to do with him,
either. Blair added that she hadn't had those kidnapping charges dropped.
"My bad," she said rolling her eyes. Ross panicked at the thought of being
arrested.

Schuyler asked Gigi how he looked. "What are you all gussied up for?" Gigi
asked. Kim made sure Rex knew she had a date with Schuyler.

Kim and Stacy reviewed Schuyler's likes and dislikes. Kim was sure that
Schuyler would fall for her like a blind roofer. Kim heard what movie Rex
and Gigi would be going to and immediately made a reservation for the same
movie. Gigi couldn't keep her eyes off of Schuyler and Kim at the movies and
Kim made sure she was all over Schuyler. After Gigi threw popcorn at Kim and made a little scene at the theater, Gigi and Rex left. Schuyler and Kim talked about it. Kim suggested Gigi had a thing for him and he had a thing for Gigi. "I hope it works out for you," she said, and walked off. Meanwhile, Gigi tried to convince Rex that her concern for Schuyler was only as a friend; she just wanted to go home where Rex could keep her up all night.

John and Bo stood over the body. John dialed the last number called on the dead man's phone and Jared's phone rang. Natalie looked alarmed. Jared said nothing. Natalie was furious. John wanted to rule Jared out as a suspect
right away. Jared kept saying he didn't know the dead man, and John told him
they’d been in the same prison together. Jared lied about all the messages
from Wayne Landers. "Was he dead when you got here [to the terrace] or did
you kill him yourself?" John asked. Natalie was stunned. Jared insisted to
Natalie that he never knew Wayne.

Oliver walked in as Stacy told a waitress she was pregnant. Stunned, Oliver nearly fainted. Stacy assured him that he was not the father. They commiserated that they both had complicated lives. Oliver told Stacy
that he came out after their night together but had lost the one guy he
wanted. John summoned Oliver to Llanfair. Before he left, Oliver offered his
babysitting services to Stacy. Stacy told Oliver not to give up on that guy.
Kim returned to the coffee shop and told Stacy that she didn't think it
would be long before Schuyler and Gigi hooked up.

John handed Oliver Jared's laptop. Jared objected, obviously fearful of what
they might find on it. Oliver did a search on Jared's computer for Wayne
Landers. He came across lots of transferred funds from Jared Banks to Wayne
Landers. As Natalie looked at Jared, her eyes filled with tears. Jared claimed
that someone hacked into his account. Natalie started to cry as John took
Jared off for questioning. Natalie ran into Jared's arms and assured him
that she believed him.

Wednesday

Starr and baby Hope arrived at the guys' college pad and Starr gave them a hard time about how sloppy it was. In the other room, Langston was horrified when Markko told her that the video camera had been on when they made love on the couch. She ordered him to delete the footage immediately, despite his protests about how hot she looked. Just then, Markko got an e-mail from one of his professors. Later, Markko mentioned that his parents were coming by that afternoon, and invited Langston to join them. She was not thrilled about the idea. The girls then headed out to class, leaving Cole and Markko to tend to a crying Hope. A frantic Markko suggested calling 9-1-1. Markko's parents were not pleased to arrive and see the boys playing house.

At the Llanview PD, Jared denied any connection to the murder victim, Landers. John advised Jared to speak the truth before things got worse. Jared accused John of being out to get him — and argued that the detective still had feelings for Natalie. Jared refused to say anything else until he got himself a lawyer. John then revealed that they'd found deleted e-mails between him and Landers on Jared's laptop, leaving Jared speechless.

Viki was horrified by Todd's newspaper story about Jared and the murder at Llanfair but Charlie wondered if there was something that Jared may be hiding. Together, they went to the police station to see Jared. As Charlie spoke with his son, Viki talked with John. "I need your help," Jared told his dad in private.

Blair had a dream that Todd thanked her for saving him from Téa. In the dream, he also kissed her. Just then, Téa poured a pitcher of water on Blair and smiled, "Rise and shine." The women fought about Todd and the cabana, and eventually came to blows. Blair wanted to know what Téa was hiding about her secret marriage to Ross that she's afraid Todd will find out about. They then argued about the kids. When Blair accused Téa of being too selfish to have a child, she remarked, "You are so wrong ... I have one."

Starr and Langston went to class, where Nick was their substitute teacher. When her classmates made jokes at Starr's expense, Nick chastised them, and did not deny it when they said he's gay. After school, the kids returned back to the pad, where Markko's parents remained. Cole suggested that Markko show the folks the film he made for history class. Unfortunately, Markko accessed the footage of he and Langston making love instead.

At the Buenos Dias Café, Dorian made a campaign speech in Spanish to appeal to the Latin vote. She also exploited the newspaper story about the "scandalous" murder at Viki's home. She then introduced Amelia, noting that her campaign manager was an, "Out and proud lesbian." Dorian told David that she wouldn't be surprised if Jared was out to kill Natalie for her inheritance. As Dorian blatantly campaigned for the diner vote, Amelia called someone and said she was about to put part two of her plan in motion. David overheard the conversation and confronted her about it. Amelia easily got David off the trail, then placed another call. The mystery person turned out to be Nick, who mentioned that the plan was on track.

Natalie went to Todd, furious about the newspaper story. Todd warned her about knowing the person you marry. Natalie advised Todd to hear Téa's side. Then, Natalie went to see Jared in jail. As they embraced, Jared admitted, "Natalie, I've been lying to you.

Thursday

Markko showed his parents the film he had made of "something he loved" and they saw the film of Markko and Langston making out in their underwear. Everyone was duly shocked. Markko's parents stormed off. Starr suddenly announced Langston was pregnant. Everyone was upset until
Starr explained that she had just lied to prove that Langston's pregnancy would be far worse then the videotape. Markko tried to convince his parents that the tape was a big accident. All was fine. Todd knocked at the door looking for Téa. "I threw her out," Todd explained. Starr couldn't believe her father had thrown Téa out the day after the wedding.

Dorian and David talked about sTéaling the gay and liberal votes from Viki. Sensing something suspicious about Amelia, David figured Dorian would start picking up signs that something was up with the campaign manager. Dorian dismissed his concerns. Amelia joined Dorian and David and told them she’d invited representatives from all the other left-of-center organizations, and suggested Dorian defy the law and come out for legalizing gay unions. David wondered how Dorian would benefit from any of this.

Nick and Amelia met up at the diner. "No one can know I'm involved," he said cryptically. Oliver couldn't help but eavesdrop. Amelia left and Oliver sat at Nick's table. "What's going on?" he asked. Nick invited Oliver to a reception at Dorian's.

At the event, Kyle laughed off Oliver’s suspicion that Nick was going to assassinate Dorian. Nick joined them and the three made small talk, then Amelia introduced Dorian to the guests. Dorian announced that she believed that gay and lesbians should achieve equal rights under the law. "I intend to prove that," she said. Dorian was peppered with questions and accused of pulling a publicity stunt. David looked surprised when Dorian countered that Amelia was her partner!

Jared told Natalie he had been lying to her. Natalie left unwillingly when John said he had more questions for Jared. Jared continued to deny that he ever knew Landers and had never visited Landers in prison.

Charlie met with Jared's lawyer, who asked Jared point blank if he had killed Wayne Landers. Jared opened up to his lawyer, but no one else. Jared was held for 48 hours. Natalie kissed Jared goodbye. "Starting todoubt him?" John asked Natalie pointedly.

Todd charged into the police precinct and told Viki about "the secret," declaring that his marriage is over. Viki was convinced it was a mistake when Todd told her about Ross Rayburn. Todd wondered what else she might be keeping from him. When Viki insisted to Todd that Téa loves him, he stormed off.

Téa told Blair that she has a child. "Well, I guess we've gotten to the bottom of Téa Delgado's deep dark secret, haven't we? Blair gloated. Téa immediately backtracked and said she was talking about Todd's three children. Blair demanded the truth. When Téa refused, Blair grabbed Téa's phone and hurled it. Blair tricked Téa into admitting there was a child. "I'm a mother. Okay," she cried. Blair called Téa a monster for denying she ever had a child. Téa countered with the fact that Starr had almost been killed when Blair was running around Tahiti. Blair realized that the child was Todd's, and insisted that Todd had to know this truth. In the ensuing argument, Téa pushed Blair so hard that Blair went tumbling out of the window!

Friday

David and everyone was stunned to learn Dorian would be marrying Amelia. Suddenly, Blair crashed through a second story window. Téa began screaming insanely. When Todd asked Téa if she "did this," Téa declared that it was an accident. Oliver grabbed Téa and said she couldn't leave the premises. He demanded a full statement, but Téa wouldn't answer and stormed off.

Starr watched in horror as TV news report described her mother's accident. Langston turned off the TV and took charge of Hope so Cole and Starr could race to the hospital.

Dorian and Todd accompanied Blair in the ambulance. Once at the hospital, Dorian told the emergency room doctors everything that had happened and what to look for. Greg admitted Blair, but Todd wanted Blair removed from Dr. Evans' care. Starr burst in and demanded to know how Blair fell. Greg said it looked like Blair would be okay, and that Blair had asked to see Todd. Dorian was distraught that the first person Blair wanted to see was "that man." Todd took Blair's hand. "What happened?" he asked. Téa rushed into the waiting room and Starr told her that Blair would be okay. "My dad is in there right now," Starr told a panic-stricken Téa. "I have to tell you something," Blair said to Todd as she took his arm.

Dorian called David and told him Blair had a concussion. She tried to convince him that he needed to be understanding about her engagement to a woman. David took questions about his marriage to Dorian. "Did you know that Dorian Lord was gay?" a reporter asked. As David explained to the press that "Dorian found her true self with Amelia," Kyle and Oliver kept exchanging glances.

Amelia told the press that she wished she could be by Dr. Lord's side. Langston said it was a surprise to her that Dorian was now a lesbian.

Kyle figured out that Dorian wasn't gay but Nick said it was brilliant political maneuver. "This is how we challenge the law," Nick explained, as Kyle silently wondered what Nick was really up to.

Jessica and Brody told Roxy that Jared had been taken into police custody. Roxy needed a glass of water. Both Natalie and Roxy felt that Jared was innocent. Roxy thought Natalie should have hired Téa Delgado.

Destiny demanded that Shaun wake up. Matthew told her that he had found another doctor. Nora showed Bo the list of doctors Matthew was considering. "He's doing Internet searches for doctors," Bo realized. Nora felt helpless. Bo and Nora overheard Destiny tell Rachel that Matthew was working with a Dr. Nance. Destiny told them that she didn't want anyone but Greg operating on Matthew. Rachel said Greg wasn't changing his mind about the surgery. "He said no?" Bo asked. "He doesn't trust himself anymore," Rachel explained. Matthew joined them and wondered why they were all there. "Dr. Nance is great," Matthew announced, then reported that Dr. Nance thought Matthew would be a great candidate and they could do the surgery in Seattle — tomorrow!
