June 1998
After becoming a suspect in the murder of Georgie Phillips, Todd holds everyone, including Téa, hostage at the Buchanan Lodge. Once the true killer, Rachel Gannon, is revealed, Todd takes off to avoid the police and Téa follows him. Todd grabs Téa and takes her to the garden shed at Llanfair. They have an angry confrontation, during which Todd hits Téa and ties her up. Téa persuades Todd to untie her and turns the tables by knocking him out with a shovel and having him arrested.
November 1998
Todd pretends to have a split personality disorder, and Téa is torn between her desire to help Todd and not wanting to get pulled into a relationship with him again.

Todd later returns to Llanview, stating that Téa left him.
May 2002
Téa shows up again, just in time to warn Blair of Todd’s plan to kidnap Starr and Jack while on a vacation in Hawaii. Todd and Téa wind up shipwrecked on a deserted island with Todd’s bodyguard Ross, after Todd’s plan to kidnap his children went wrong. Téa and Ross share an attraction and a passionate kiss before she realizes her love for Todd. Todd and Téa declare their love for each other and briefly reunite, before Téa realizes that Todd still has feelings for Blair. Todd leaves her and Ross on the island to go back to Blair in Llanview. Téa and Ross are later rescued, but once again, Téa leaves Llanview behind.
