OLTL Recaps Week of Oct. 17, 2005
Friday, October 21, 2005
Evangeline visited cranky Cristian at Statesville while Natalie caught John angsting over Cris’ file at the LPD. Nearby, Todd starting snooping around for the DNA results on the Lady of Llantano Lake and Bo wondered why. At the Palace, Rex hid Ginger when the Cramer women arrived en masse for Dorian’s bachelorette party. The Buchanan men showed up at their hunting lodge for David’s “shindig.” Asa figured that they could nab Spencer if they had the home turf advantage. Spencer and David dropped by the Palace before heading up and Spence wondered about Dave’s new facial hair: “What’s with the beard?” As the brothers crashed the party, Blair wondered where Dorian’s matron of honor, Viki, was. Well, she was facing someone who was “kinda like Viki and Niki.” “You’re an alter?” a rocked Viki gasped. “No, I’m a person. Just like you,” Tess informed her. The Cramer women’s idea of fun was apparently a whole lot of snark. As an intrigued Spencer listened, Adriana sniped at Dorian for keeping the BE saboteur a secret and then Starr spilled that Ginger was Margaret’s niece. Elsewhere, Rex tried to get Ginger to open up while Todd assured Bo that he was just trying to out-scoop the Banner. Antonio also dropped by the LPD to fill Bo in on AWOL Jessica’s DID and the Nash development.
Viki wondered why Jessica needed an alter. An angry Tess called her “clueless” and assured her she wasn’t going anywhere. “Not now, not ever.” Natalie was bummed to hear that the attack on John Doe hadn’t been successful and John was troubled by her bloodthirsty streak. Evangeline and Cris argued about John’s involvement in the case and Vange reminded him that Nat wasn’t going to be thrilled with this either. Matthew popped up at the lodge and informed Asa, Kevin, and Duke that he’d run away because Bo had put Nora in the hospital. Quick on the uptake, Kevin called Bo and then the men tried to counsel the littlest Buchanan. Todd continued to lurk around, waiting for the results on “the floater.” As the Cramer women voted to put Ginger’s head on a pike, David and Spencer reluctantly left for the Buchanan-heavy bachelor party. “Courage, mon cheri, courage!” Dorian told her lover. Nearby, Ginger refused to tell Rex anything about her connection with Crazy Mags until she told Blair. Todd tried to sneak a look at the DNA reports but Antonio caught him. Darn! Foiled! Viki suggested Tess get treatment and Tess suggested Viki visit Hell. Viki assured the wary alter that she loved her just as much as she loved Jessica and wanted what was best for her. Natalie split to go do something as John got the DNA reports.
Back at Statesville, Evangeline worried about Carlo having Cris whacked and Cristian apologized for yelling at her about John. “Make it up to me by being careful,” she told him. The Cramers continued their We Hate Ginger party…as Ginger walked out onto the terrace. As they unleashed their collective rage on her, Rex jumped to her defense (Adriana was none-too-happy about that). Bo reached out to Matthew and made progress after assuring his son he loved him, but when Asa suggested Matt stay with him and play some poker instead of going home, Matthew readily accepted (probably because Eddie Alderson is a card shark!). David and Spencer finally arrived — with David toting a six pack of beer — and Asa and Spencer began clashing. After thanking Tess for shielding Jessica, Viki pleaded with Tess, “Please tell me why Jessie needs you. What happened to her?” At the lodge, Bo mediated the potential Buchanan-Truman fisticuffs like a good police commish. Rex tried to get Blair to listen to Ginger, but Blair blasted the girl for hurting her family. Ginger retorted that if she’d wanted to hurt Blair that badly, she would’ve told her that Margaret was pregnant. Gasp! “I don’t have to tell you one damn thing,” Tess spat at Viki. “‘Cause you already know!” At the LPD, the DNA tests on the Lake Lady were inconclusive and Evangeline told John she needed help exposing Carlo Hesser…or they’d both have Cristian’s death (for real) on their consciences. At Statesville, the über-popular Cristian got hauled out to see yet another visitor: Natalie!
