At the lab, John and Natalie learned that Spencer’s mystery stash held a horrible malaria-esque virus that could cause sterility. Oh, no! Natalie remembered Kevin getting some “weird warm weather virus.” Could Spencer have given it to him? John and Natalie puzzled over Spencer’s myriad machinations against the Buchanans. Hmm. Later, Hugh was having a nice chat with his dad on the phone as John dropped by to talk strategy for Spencer’s arraignment. They concocted a Super Secret Plan and then John went to go wrangle Todd and Spencer.
In Arizona, Kelly was determined to head for California. Kevin could learn to live with the Duke stuff, but “I can’t learn to live without you!” Michael and Marcie fed Tommy and generally beamed about having their new son home. Kevin made a passionate pitch to Kelly and then the phone rang: It was Natalie. Back in Llanview, Daddy McBain assured Mommy McBain that Tommy had no memory of his tumultuous life so far. “He’s exactly where he needs to be: with us.” Kevin reeled after hearing about Spencer’s virus and promptly told Kelly…which totally changed her mind about going to Llanview. At the end of the episode, Marcie and Michael got some quiet parental lovin’ on and Kelly and Kevin headed home to confront Spencer. “I’m going to make him pay,” Kelly promised.
It was still snarking, er, visiting hours for jailed Spencer. Hugh promised him, “I’m going to put you away for the rest of your life,” and Spence dubbed him an “ineffectual gnat.” Then, it was Todd’s turn. Snark about Blair and her bedroom behavior ensued (yeah, they’re both winners, aren’t they?). This crass locker room talk went on until Todd snapped and grabbed a guard’s gun. “Keep talking,” Todd taunted. “You can’t shoot me!” Spencer cried. “You’ll never find out what happened to your son.” Todd demanded his kid’s whereabouts, still threatening death. But John stopped him by drawing his own gun. (Boys will be boys, apparently.) Spencer barked that he wanted Todd arrested and John and the guard invoked a little “see no evil, hear no evil.”
Rex was rushed into the hospital as a tearful Adriana looked on. But her agony turned to rage as Dorian arrived. “He told me everything, Mom,” Adriana said of Bruce. “You set Rex up.” The doctor interrupted their argument with a Rex update. Adriana went to go be a hand-holder (still feeling mighty vengeful) while Bo assured Dorian he’d discover who was behind this and she quickly pointed the finger at Bruce. Bo was wise to the truth, but went to visit Rex while Adriana finished hashing things out with her mom. Paige was visibly affected and watched Bo tell Rex, “I’m still proud of you, kid,” and “I couldn’t have asked for more from my own son.” She thanked them for opening her eyes and took off. Outside, Adriana pleaded, “Tell me the truth.” Dorian ‘fessed up to the whole gig, saying, “It’s just that things got out of control.” Adriana, understandably, flipped. And when Bo emerged, she asked him to arrest “that woman.”
At the end of the episode, John shooed Todd away and leveled his own threats at Spencer about his father’s murder. “Maybe you’d understand, if you had a son yourself,” John growled. Paige dropped by to see Hugh and she interrupted his rambling with a big ol’ bombshell about Spencer: “He’s your father.” And “I know this because I’m your mother.” At the hospital, Adriana’s mother was jail-bound as Bo placed Dorian under arrest.
