Evangeline encouraged Antonio to finish getting his law degree, explaining that it could help him beat RJ in the custody battle for Jamie. Vangie proposed using Jessica as a character witness, but Antonio told her it’s not a good idea. Vangie being, well, Vangie, ingored him and went to ask Jess… RJ asked Lindsay to help him in the custody battle. Lindsay brought RJ a plate of yummy-looking cookies so she could gently inform him that she didn’t think she’d be able to do the job. Later, Antonio came by and after fighting with RJ, put poor Lindsay into a tougher spot when he urged her not to help RJ. Lindsay suggested to RJ that he and Antonio get a joint-custody agreement….

Viki informed Jess that she believed that Dorian had framed her for embezzling Llanview U’s funds. Viki was forced to resign from her post as dean… Jess told Antonio that she’d help him….

Blair continued to fear that Margaret will again come after her family. Todd urged Kevin to keep his secret that Margaret forced Todd to have sex. Kevin wasn’t sure he could keep mum, insisting that Blair would understand. Todd begged him to remain quiet, fearing that if Blair found out, it would kill her. After, Todd received an ominous postcard from Peg ….

Blair asked Kevin if he knew of something that had happened between Peg and Todd. “There’s something I need to tell you…” Kevin began….

David admitted to Dorian that her feud against the Buchanans is beginning to affect their relationship. “You focus your passion on someone who you hate instead of someone who you supposedly love,” David calmly explained, then questioned why Dorian hasn’t married him. “This is about as good as it gets for you and me,” he pointed out. “I say carpe diem. Let’s get married.” After, D&D began to get cozy, but David became annoyed when she began lecturing Kelly about hooking up with Kevin. David was touched as he overheard Dorian refer to him as “her rock” in a phone conversation with Cassie, but became upset when the convo turned to Dorian going off on Kevin. Thursday, April 7, 2005
Bo turned to Paige to assist him in helping Matthew cope with Nora and Daniel’s wedding. Paige and little Matt had a heart-to-heart about the changes in his life….

Daniel spoke to Bo via phone from his honeymoon, and the two fought over the Paul Cramer murder case. When he hung up, an angry Bo muttered to himself, “Good luck with this one, Nora.” Bo then admitted to Paige that Colson gives him the creeps….

Colson’s brow furrowed in torment as he flashbacked to the murder and how he framed Jen for it. After, he had another secret conversation with his mystery lover….

In Lindsay’s gallery, Rex pushed Riley’s buttons, joking that he (Rex) and Jen had “eloped in a Vegas chapel,” and then calling Riley “a wanna-be rock star loser.” Lindsay stepped in and asked them to please act like big boys and not pick on each other. Riley then told off Lindsay, claiming that she’s only a “good mother” when it’s convenient for her; Lindsay was incensed when Riley brought up how Linds shot and killed Jen’s dad, Sam….

John and Evangeline worked together to crack the Killing Club Killer mystery. Meanwhile, said KCK nearly murdered Marcie by filling her home with poisonous gas, but Michael managed to break down her door and get her out in the nick (or would that be Nick, per Mike and John’s suspicions?) in time. Marcie’s dad urged her to come home to New Jersey with them, but she refused. John assured Michael that it wasn’t his fault, while Ron and Papa Walsh told Marcie she wasn’t to blame. Mike revealed that he’d gotten a suspicious phone call prior to coming to the Walshes’ rescue; he insisted that Marcie move in with him until the killer is caught. Wednesday, April 6, 2005
Rex encouraged Natalie to quit whining over John and act like her old, tough-girl self. Rex believed that Nat shoving food in his face meant that she was taking his advice to heart. He was especially pleased when Nat threatened to kick out Dorian (literally), who’d come by to see Viki….

Marcie’s father and brother Ron “dropped by,” but Marcie called them on their real motive: wanting to be there to protect her from The Killing Club murderer. Love Crew Nick aroused the suspicions of Ron and John when he arrived at Marcie’s, explaining that he’d left his wallet. Per John’s orders, Marcie had Nick stay put, and attempted to comfort him over the death of Love Crew Julie whom he’d been dating. John soon arrived on the scene to investigate, showing Nick about as much sympathy as a stone….

Evangeline urged a concerned Michael to tell Marcie that he still loves her….

The Killing Club killer lovingly caressed the pages of said tome with his/her ominously-gloved hands….

A leopard print-clad Roxy proposed to Nigel that with Asa missing, they should sell Asa’s stuff. Nigel made a funny face indicating that he did not approve of this plan. Roxy stated that when Asa was eventually found, “they’re going to fry his butt.”….

Dorian, still dressed in her evening gown, warned Blair — right in front of Todd — how dangerous she believes him to be, calling him a “human time bomb.” Todd, in turn, threatened to defenestrate his aunt-in-law-to-be (making that two threats in one night for her). “Dorian, would you rather leave through the door or the window?” he asked. After, Blair called him “Big Guy,” and attempted to make love to him, but he couldn’t, on account of the visions of Margaret dancing through his head. Blair assured Todd that it wasn’t his fault that Peg had attacked their family.Tuesday, April 5, 2005

Dorian admitted to David that she fears that Adriana is distancing herself from her; David urged Dorian to let “her girls” lead their own lives….

Adriana whined to Duke about how Dorian is driving her crazy. Duke tried to lure Adriana into bed, but Adriana ruined the moment by mentioning her mom. Again….

Dorian was paricularly overbearing as she reamed out Kelly for going to Capricorn with Kevin. “Nice to see you, too, Dorian,” sniffed Kev….

Kelly and Kevin slow danced together, while Dorian glared at them….

David told Dorian that her attitude toward the Buchanans is beginning to bug him….Todd was very cute as he tried to see if Blair was all right after coming home from the hospital. “How many fingers am I holding up? Who’s the handsomest man in the world?” he asked, to which she responded, “Brad Pitt.” After, Blair freaked when she had visions of Margaret. Blair asked Todd point-blank if Margaret had forced him to have sex, but he evaded the question. Later, they finally started to get romantic….

Starr butted into Antonio and Jessica’s business big time by urging them to get married as soon as possible….

“Tess” practiced being Jessica and became so angry at the idea of having to be a good girl, she attacked a bouquet of flowers. When Jess eventually re-emerged, she and Antonio were alarmed that she couldn’t remember part of her day….

Viki assured Starr that Margaret wouldn’t hurt the Mannings again. Monday, April 4, 2005
Jessica in Tess mode, blew off a doctor’s appointment, then ditched Nora and Daniel’s wedding so she could get busy in the back seat of a limo with a male suitor….

At the wedding, Natalie couldn’t hide her annoyance when she caught John and Evangeline being all mushy together ….

Daniel had a private conversation on his cell phone (right outside the wedding reception hall!) with his lover … Viki admitted to Natalie that the impending wedding was making her miss Ben….

In St. Blaze, Duke and Adriana almost had sex in the hot tub, but were interrupted when someone called with a tip about Asa’s whereabouts. “I was really hoping Asa wouldn’t show up until tomorrow,” Duke sighed….

Antonio caught up with his old pal, Rachel, who was in town for her mom’s nuptials ….

Daniel assured Riley (looking very cute in all-black formal wear) that he and Nora were going to go through with the wedding….

Rex crashed the wedding so he could look after Jen. Natalie told him that “crashing a wedding is extremely tacky.” … Matthew told Riley that he thought being brothers would be “cool,” and Ri let Matthew play his guitar, even though it was bigger than him….

Rachel encouraged Nora to go through with the ceremony, which began half an hour late….

Evangeline and Riley performed a special song for the new couple….

Tess-pretending-to-be-Jess finally arrived at the reception and assured her mother and Antonio multiple times that she’s fine….

The rest of the guests danced and had fun at the reception.
