Todd was throwing a temper tantrum in his cell on death row when Evangeline came by to tell him that they set May 26 as the day he’d be executed. Todd exploded again, screaming about Blair having sex with Spencer and telling Vangie that she has to keep fighting for him. When Evangeline asked what more she could do, Todd said she needs to talk to John.
Cristian told Natalie things are over between them. He said that even though he always thought they could pick up where they left off, that he now has to move on. “I love you, but I need to feel that back,” he told her. “I loved you once,” she answered. “I can’t wait around for you to love me again,” Cris replied. Natalie was clearly hurt as Cristian politely excused himself and went for a walk. Once she was alone, Natalie started sniffling as she worked her way through her cell phone contacts looking for someone to talk to. She considered calling John, but then decided against it.
Evangeline dropped by to see Cristian. They both said they had pretty rough days so they popped a couple of beers and talked.
David asked Paige for the date she helped deliver Margaret’s baby and realized that Spencer had flown to Thailand the next day. He hypothesized that Spencer tried to get Margaret and the baby as far away from Llanview as he could. Paige wondered why Spencer chose to take the baby to Thailand, and David answered that Thailand is about “the best place to hide that thing,” though he didn’t actually say why.
Meanwhile, Margaret sat in a Thai restaurant alone doing a crossword puzzle.
Kelly was finishing up a run at the park when she ran into Hugh, who was there playing soccer with some kids. Hugh told Kelly that he volunteered to coach foster kids once a week. They talked about their own brothers and sisters, and when Kelly told Hugh that her brother Paul died, Hugh said that maybe she could have a big family of her own one day. Kelly broke down in tears. After she regained her composure, she told Hugh she thinks it’s nice that he plays ball with the kids.
Marcie and Lindsay went to some fancy boutique to look at wedding dresses. Marcie was concerned that she was too big for the dresses there and wouldn’t look as pretty as she wanted to at her wedding. Lindsay told Marcie to relax and that she’d pay for a beautiful dress as a gift from Jennifer. When a snooty saleswoman subtly suggested to Marcie that she was too big for their dresses, Lindsay had a word in private with her and said she isn’t going to let “some stuck up saleswoman ruin what should be the best day of her life.” Marcie started trying on dresses, and the saleswoman totally changed her tune and was falling over herself until they found the perfect dress.
John told Michael he had some leads on people who knew about what happened during their father’s surgery the night he was shot. Later, a man walked up to John and introduced himself as Ray Bateman, Sr. “You killed my son,” he said. Michael quickly defended John’s actions, saying he saved his life. Bateman said that John made an orphan of a 12-year-old boy. “Ray had problems, but he deserved a chance, and my grandson deserved a chance to know his father,” the guy said. “You ruined three generations of a family with one shot.” After the man left, John told Michael that he left a young boy without a father just like someone did to him when he was a boy.
John went up on the roof and started tossing beer bottles at the wall when Natalie came up and asked, “What the hell is going on here?”
