Still stuck on why Nash and Jess were in the storage room, Cristian said he’s done protecting Jessica. Evangeline returned home with Todd, who promised to take her mind off Cristian. Dorian ran into Clint at the Palace, where she hoped to woo him with champagne and oysters. A little too early to drink, he said, and explained that he was there to talk to Natalie, who was having lunch with Viki. Natalie admitted to her mother that she’s not having the best of days because John accused her of committing murder and threw her brother in jail. Meanwhile, Rex and Michael continued to go at it, each accusing the other of killing Spencer. John pointed out to Donna that there’s someone in the hallway in the crime-scene shots and that it looks like he or she is trying to hide.
Once Rex assured Michael that their cell wasn’t bugged, Michael and Rex finally got down to some truth telling. Michael reminded Rex that he “confessed” to him by saying he’d already done too much to protect Tommy and Michael after Spencer’s murder. Rex explained that he thought he was protecting Michael by wiping the doc’s prints off the bloody knife. He said he saw Michael outside Blair’s room holding the doorknob, something happened and before he could see Rex, he took off. He had a terrible look on this face, said Rex, like he’d done something awful. Michael admitted that he was prepared to kill Spencer and grabbed a scalpel and went toward the room, but that he felt sick when he got to the door and couldn’t do it, so he ran. They then tried to figure out why John became suspicious of Michael in the first place, and realized that what they both said — that he shouldn’t dig deeper into the case — landed them in jail.
Natalie confided her troubles with John to her mother, who suggested that John may not be capable of change. Suddenly, the waiter brought over a white-chocolate cheesecake from Vincent. Natalie asked why Viki assumed Clint sent over the dessert. Meanwhile, Dorian admitted to sabotaging Clint’s dinner with Viki last week to spend time alone with Clint. The fact that he and Viki are dating won’t deter her, Dorian vowed. She advised him to play the field and he chuckled that the field had been pretty kind to him in the past. She tried to ask him out on a date, but he said he wasn’t sure it was the right time. Vincent eventually came over to Natalie’s table and finagled an introduction to Viki. They discussed his future business plans and the loss of his friend Ted. After he left, Viki hinted that Vincent may want more than friendship. Once Dorian left their table, Viki allowed herself to get upset with Clint, who had lipstick all over his cheek. Dorian returned and announced that they had reservations at Chuck’s for their dinner date.
Nash and Jessica insisted to Cristian that nothing happened between them in the storage room. She told Cristian he’d just have to trust her on this one. Cris returned to see Antonio, who sensed that the three had just had a pretty intense conversation. Cris revealed that they were discussing how much it sucks to be cheated on, and insisted to Antonio that he and Vangie are over.
Evangeline, meanwhile, was dining on expensive duck with Todd at the penthouse. The hell with Cristian, she declared, and Todd sang “Amen!” He managed to make her laugh … until she remembered why she was so sad. When dessert failed to cheer her up, Todd told her he had one more idea: Take her clothes off. A few minutes later, she was in a robe worrying about all this time away from her job. Speaking of jobs, Todd went off to do work while Evangeline got a massage, but not before peeking at her lying on the massage table. The masseuse instructed Evangeline to think of something wonderful, and of course, she thought about making love to Cristian. Afterward, Evangeline thanked Todd for everything he’d done that day to help her.
Jessica and Nash discussed their feelings in his hospital room, while Cris continued to talk with Antonio. Nash said he’d be miserable without his daughter and couldn’t leave her, but that if he stays in Llanview, they will inevitably end up alone together. Antonio said he was happy the fight with Todd didn’t get too out of hand, and that if some guy was trying to take his woman, he’d want to kill him, too.
John requested hospital-surveillance tapes so he could see who entered and left the hospital the night of Spencer’s murder. In the meantime, he and Donna looked at enlarged prints of the photos and noticed that the person was wearing hospital scrubs. “I have a good idea who it is,” John said. Back in his office, John made a call to Agent Bill Roberts and said he needed a favor. Finally, the surveillance tapes came in and John sat down to watch them. Dramatic music conveyed that he saw something. Meanwhile, Rex and Michael wondered if neither of them killed Truman, then who did? John received a call from Bill and wrote down some info. When he hung up, he sighed, “I’m glad it wasn’t you Mike,” then pointed at the TV screen and said, “I got you.”
