[ scene_break ] john : what made you think it was from the music box killer ? lindsay : because there 's sheet music written in blood , and it 's ri -- what happened ? but i do n't understand . it was hanging right there . it was -- it was hanging right there where that picture is now ! you have to believe me ! it was there . [ scene_break ] al : wow , there 's a lot of stuff on your brother 's truck out there . marcie : yeah , it 's pretty amazing how much you can cram into one small dorm room . al : yeah , i know . hey , you know , i can give you a hand . you know , there 's a lot of stuff . you do n't want ron doing all the work , do you ? marcie : uh -- jen : it 'll give your brother more time to put those shelves together . marcie : ok . yeah , i mean , if you want to give me help , i might as well accept it . al : load me up . marcie : ok . ron : that guy just does n't get it , does he ? even after she keeps telling him she 's not interested , he still comes around . jen : maybe she is . some girls like that , you know -- having guys chase after them . she can just treat him like trash and he 'll still keep coming back for more . ron : jen , that 's pretty warped , do n't you think ? [ doorbell rings ] jen : what do you want ? rex : well , nice to see you , too . i need a minute , ok ? jen : what ? what do you -- you want something ? rex : what , the meter 's running ? jen : i 'm busy , unlike some people who do nothing but stalk me . rex : yeah , well , you know all about that . it 's what you did to me while still playing preacher 's wife . jen : get over it . i have . rex : me , too . jen : then what are you doing here ? rex : to tell you you do n't have to sweat it . i wo n't be coming around anymore . i 've hooked up with somebody else . jen : who ? who is it ? [ scene_break ] john : well , if there 's evidence , we 'll find it . lindsay : `` if `` ? what do you -- you think that i 'm making this up ? because i 'm not . i would n't lie about something like this . there 's someone out there that tried to murder my daughter , and i want him caught before he goes after somebody else ! stephen : if troy maciver is n't the killer , that means that somebody else is . that means that another person is going to die . jessica : why does n't he just stop ? he 's already gotten away with seven murders with the police thinking that troy did it . stephen : that 's not what he wants . jessica : well , what does he want ? stephen : that 's the question . what does he want ? he 's a power freak . he needs to control things right now . he 's controlling everything . he 's controlling the police , the potential victims , the entire community . but the more out of control he spins , the more he wants to control . jessica : so he wo n't stop killing because -- stephen : because he knows that he 's smarter than everyone else . he 's dropping clues right and left , up and down about who the next victim is going to be . and yet they still ca n't do a damn thing to stop him . jessica : so it 's a game . stephen : it 's a game that he knows he can win . think about it this way . if troy maciver is behind bars and another person is killed , that means that the police are wrong . it means he 's outsmarted them all .

[ scene_break ] blair : well , this is a lost cause . spencer : you look fine . blair : well , i do n't feel fine . i think this happens to be the worst day of my life . before , when margaret was out there , i -- i was afraid for my life , afraid for todd 's , the kids ' . but , you know , i always held out hope that someday all of it would just be over and we 'd all be a family again . todd and i would get married . that 's not going to happen . spencer : todd could be acquitted , you know . blair : that 's just a legal technicality , spencer . when i overheard him try to pay off denton for keeping his mouth shut about the truth , i knew he was guilty , and how can i take a man back like that ? spencer : i do n't know what to say . blair : there 's nothing you can say . it 's something that i have to do . i have to figure out what 's going on with todd and then i have to tell my kids . jack -- he thinks his daddy hung the moon . starr loves her daddy so much , i do n't know if she 's ever going to get over it . spencer : oh , she will . she 'll get over it because she has a mother that she can absolutely depend on . blair : i never thought that i 'd have to be a single parent like this . spencer : well , you 've done it before when you thought todd was dead . blair : that 's different . i was just holding on to a -- to the belief that i loved him , that i believed in him . now i do n't even have that . and , you know , i think the hardest part of all this is that he does n't even seem sorry for what he did . he does n't seem sorry that he murdered margaret or his own child or what he 's done to us . spencer : sociopaths usually do n't have a real concept of others ' feelings . blair : well , just when did it happen ? when did it happen to him ? starr : mom ? mom , i was watching tv and they said that they 're going to announce -- blair : what ? starr : dad 's verdict any minute now . blair : ok , no , no , i want you to turn the tv off . starr : you have to go . hurry up ! blair : you turn the tv off now because i do n't want jack to hear it .

[ scene_break ] reporter : it 's an almost entirely circumstantial case , but it presented a unique difficulty for the defense . there 's clear evidence that the victim was mentally unbalanced and had subjected the defendant and his family to a reign of terror -- starr : yeah , no duh . reporter : including a terrifying attempt on the defendant 's teenage daughter 's life . starr : me . reporter : while this history may garner some sympathy for the defendant , it also provides clear motivation for murder . starr : he did n't do it ! ugh ! reporter : the trial provided a glimpse into the personal lives of some of llanview 's most prominent families . for example , when manning 's sister , victoria davidson , was called to testify for the prosecution , defense attorney evangeline williamson mounted a grueling cross - examination where she attacked ms. davidson 's credibility by exposing her ongoing problems with multiple personality disorder . second reporter : blair cramer , who 's been at the defendant 's side throughout the trial , was noticeably absent this afternoon , but just a few moments ago , she entered the courtroom . she was accompanied by dr. spencer truman , another witness for the prosecution . and so the fate of todd manning has been determined and he is only minutes away from learning how this jury has judged him . wait . this is it , charley . the jury 's gone back into the courtroom . [ scene_break ] bailiff : all rise . court is in session , judge terrance mc clellan presiding . judge : be seated . has the jury reached a verdict ? foreman : we have , your honor . judge : will the defendant please rise ? in the charge of murder in the first degree , how do you find ? foreman : we the people of the commonwealth of pennsylvania find the defendant , todd manning , guilty . [ gallery murmurs ] [ next_on ] viki : we 're going to fight this . todd : no , i said no . evangeline : todd did n't kill margaret . i want you to find the person who did . starr : i 'm going to pray that they find that murderer . and when they do , i hope he rots in hell . todd : blair ?
viki goes to the chapel to light a candle and say a prayer for todd 's safety . the girls , natalie and jessica , join her there , and they go to court together . blair tries to explain to the children about todd . she tells them to pack that they are going somewhere safe . blair vows to spencer that she will not ever take todd back after what he has done . denton calls spencer , and leaves him a message .

just do n't talk to me about it anymore ! in fact , do n't talk to me at all ! john : where you going ? where you going ? natalie : where do you think ? back to my husband . john : natalie ? do n't do it , not until we know for sure . natalie : i do know , and nothing you can say will change that . evangeline : john ? john : how long you been here ? evangeline : long enough to see that natalie 's pretty upset . john : yeah , she is . i just told her the -- the man who came home to her may not be who he says he is . cristian : now , why would any of this stuff look familiar to me ? jessica : i do n't know , just wondering . cristian : is there something you want to say to me , jess ? jessica : i just wanted somebody to bounce ideas off of . i 'm writing a group of articles about the person -- cristian : you still think it 's me , do n't you ? jessica : yes . cristian : why ? jessica : i do n't know , cristian . i really -- i do n't want to , but so far all of the evidence -- it points to you . cristian : like what ? what evidence ? jessica : well , these things did n't start happening until -- until you got back , until you moved into the house . cristian : oh , right , right , so that automatically makes me guilty . jessica : well , it has to be somebody who can get in and out of the house unnoticed , unquestioned , and so far all of the staff have been questioned and cleared . and you have n't been yourself lately with anybody -- not with antonio , not with carlotta , not even with natalie . cristian : and what 's that got to do with you ? jessica : well , i figured you out . i know what 's going on with you . cristian : what exactly is it that you think you know ? jessica : you 're still in love with me , cristian , are n't you ? duke : you want me to fly down to new orleans ? i can try to find out what 's going on . adriana : duke , please do n't . duke : but if it 'll help kelly -- adriana : no , ok ? you do n't want to make things worse with your dad . i 'm sorry . kelly : no , adriana 's right . i was just hoping that maybe you could talk to asa . i mean , he 's head of the family . maybe -- duke : what , he 'd talk dad out of trying to take ace from babe ? i mean , kelly , i do n't think so . besides , great - grandpa and i are n't exactly on the best of terms right now . kelly : could you try , please ? i never would have given ace up if i did n't think it was the best thing for him . and if kevin tries to take him away -- duke : i 'll do what i can . asa : duke , you will do nothing ! kevin 's trying to save little ace 's life . you want to help that baby , you 'll do anything you can to keep him from the chandlers . babe : kevin , i know that you 're upset and you 're angry -- kevin : upset ? angry ? you have any idea the kind of hell you put me through ? from the moment i walked into my hotel room and saw that ace was gone , i had no idea what had happened to him -- where he was or if he was even alive . that is the worst kind of hell you can put a parent through . jamie : what , you think babe does n't know what that feels like ? kevin : apparently not , or why would she do it ? babe : because he 's my son and i love him . kevin : oh , you love him ? well , you got a great way of showing it , let me tell you , ripping him from the family that 's raising him , where he 's happy and secure , taking him on the run from the police and the f.b.i . , putting him in god knows what kind of danger . you know , i do n't think that 's love . that 's abuse . babe : i would never abuse my son ! kevin : well , what would you call it ? babe : your own wife thought he was better off with me than you . kevin : where , behind bars ? because that 's where you 're going . you know , thank god ace is young enough to never know what kind of woman his mother is . jamie : you do n't know anything about babe . j.r. : you know , i can fill him in . jamie : oh , why do n't you go to hell . tad : easy . jamie : no , this is all happening because his wife took babe 's son . kevin : no , my brother - in - law took him . neither one of us knew the circumstances . adam : you do now . the boy belongs with his father . bo : this is not your call , chandler . adam : the boy is my blood , not yours , and certainly no other buchanan 's . babe : he 's mine . he is mine and nobody is ever taking him away from me ever again . kevin : watch me . blair : are you sure this is the man that you 've seen ? man : that 's the one , all right . blair : oh , i could just kiss you right now ! man : i thought you were hot when i saw you on tv . blair : what ? man : on new year 's , when you were looking for this loser . blair : so you really have n't seen him ? man : just his picture in the paper . but , hey , i 'm available . blair : this was my last chance . i need a miracle here ! i got to find him . anything ! come on ! just please help me find him . todd : margaret -- margaret : this may take a few minutes . todd : what are you -- where are you going ? what are you going to do ? margaret : well , i just think that you and blair should be reunited , that 's all . todd : margaret -- margaret : hmm ? todd : if you do anything to her at all , i swear i 'm going to kill you . margaret : i do n't think you 're really in a position to do anything the way you are right now . i just want you to be happy . that 's why i 'm getting blair for you . todd : no , margaret -- margaret ? kelly : i have been trying to keep ace -- james -- away from the chandlers . asa : you quit calling him that . his name is ace , my namesake . kelly : asa , i know how much you love that little boy . we all do , but he 's not ours . asa : shut your mouth . duke : watch it , grandpa . asa : that goes for you , too , duke . ace is as much a buchanan as you and kevin are , as much as you used to be , kelly . what the hell happened to you ? you were supposed to be the perfect wife . you were supposed to take kevin 's hand all the way to the white house . kelly : well , i 'm sorry if i did n't fit into your plans . asa : well , you did n't have to derail them either , taking up with the enemy . kelly : babe chandler is not the enemy . asa : no , because you are . duke : hey , all right , that 's it . come on , kelly , i 'm taking you out of here . kelly : it 's ok , duke . asa 's got nothing on me anymore . he ca n't hurt me . asa : you think so ? kelly : yeah , because i 've already been hurt enough . and for what ? trying to hold on to my husband by giving him a child in any way possible ? a child that you wanted us to have , that you made us feel like failures if we did n't have . asa : i did n't ask you to steal somebody 's baby and then to pawn him off as manning 's . you 're nothing but a cheap little hussy , kelly , just like that cramer trash you come from . renee : asa ? please . adriana : kelly , come on . duke : you know , grandpa , we have all had to listen to what you had to say . now you 're going to listen to me . jamie : look , let 's just back up for a moment . if paul cramer had n't taken the baby in the first place , none of this would be happening . babe : i thought that my son had died . and then when i found out he was alive , i knew that i could n't allow j.r. to get his hands on him . adam : so you kidnapped the baby and took off ? oh , that 's logical . j.r. : no , dad , it 's typical . kevin : why did n't you get a lawyer , or come forward and claim him as your son , instead of stealing him and running away ? j.r. : do you want to tell him , babe , or do i get to ? babe : shut up , j . r. ! j.r. : i think the buchanans deserve to know the truth . do n't you ? kevin : what the hell are you talking about ? babe : it 's nothing . it 's between j . r. and me . it has absolutely nothing to do with any of this . bo : it does if you 've broken any more laws . jamie : it was my idea to take james . babe did n't want to . i talked her into it . so if you want to blame somebody , blame me . tad : you 're not to blame , and neither is babe . the only person at fault for this is paul cramer , and he 's gone . unfortunately , the one who 's suffering is this kid because he 's been dragged all over the map when he should just simply be allowed to stay with his mother . adam : yeah ? what about his father ? what about my son who 's standing here , who 's done nothing wrong ? babe : if i had had it my way , you would n't have laid a hand on my child . you want to know why i took my baby on the run ? well , you 're looking at it right there in front of your face . i could n't take the chance that he would grow up to be another chandler . kevin : oh , he wo n't . you have my word on it . babe : you really love him , do n't you ? kevin : of course i do . babe : i think you 'd do anything to keep him . you 'd lie , cheat , steal . you 'd even die for him , would n't you ? you will do whatever it took to keep him safe , to make sure he got the life that he deserves , because that 's what it 's all about -- that sweet little boy right there , the one that you love and the one who loves you , no matter what you 've done and how you 've screwed up , because it 's all about him and nothing else . i know that because that 's how i feel . and that is why i 've done the things that i 've done , because i know what 's best for my son . and i think you do , too . man : agent morrow , f.b.i . what 's going on here ? officer : what are you doing here ? bo : commissioner buchanan , llanview p . d. it 's time . you need to hand that baby over to kevin . j.r. : not a chance . bo : mr. chandler , it 's time to give up the baby . agent morrow : sergeant , take your people and wait outside . we got it from here . sergeant : you guys wait outside . i 'll stay here . j.r. : wait a minute . i do n't care who you think you are ! not you or the f . b.i . is taking my son away from me . agent morrow : who the hell is this guy ? j.r. : i 'm the baby 's father . kevin : i 'm his legal guardian . bo : that 's true . the court granted kevin here custody . adam : based on lies . i 'm adam chandler . i 'm this child 's grandfather . there 's been a terrible mistake here . agent morrow : well , mistake or not , i have my orders -- to return this baby to lieutenant governor buchanan . babe : it 's just not right . jamie : dad , ca n't you do something ? tad : not right now . i 'll think of something . you hang tight . we 're going to fight this . bo : do n't , because you 're just going to make it tougher -- on yourselves and on the baby . adam : this is insanity . this child no more belongs to kevin buchanan than he does to jamie martin , or anyone else for that matter . and if anyone is going to walk out that door with this child , it 's going to be my son . kevin : look , just flesh and blood does n't make a father . you do n't love him . you do n't even know him . and if you 're anything like your own father , you never will . so let 's not make this any uglier than it has to be . give me my son . you give me my son , or i 'll have you and your father put in jail with the rest of them . evangeline : you really believe cristian is somebody else ? john : i do n't know . but something ai n't right . i ca n't get natalie to see that . evangeline : because you 're talking about her husband -- or at least the man she thinks is her husband . john : yeah , well , what 's written there , combined with cristian 's strange behavior since he 's been back -- evangeline : my god . do you know what you 're asking her to do ? john : yes . i 'm asking her to face the truth . evangeline : by admitting he is n't cristian , which means admitting her husband did n't survive . so to her , cristian dies all over again . john : i know . but ignoring this is not the answer . natalie -- she may have a stranger living with her , and that does n't mean just trouble for her . it means the whole family could be in danger . cristian : is that what you think ? that i 'm stalking you because i 'm in love with you ? jessica : well , we have n't talked about us , our past . cristian : well , because that 's what it is -- our past . where is this coming from , jess ? jessica : because i 'm trying to figure out why someone is stalking me . cristian : someone you think is me , no matter what i say . look , jess , you 're right . i do love you -- as a friend . but i 'm in love with natalie . do n't you get that ? jessica : yeah , but we were each other 's first loves . i mean , it must have affected you when i fell in love with antonio . cristian : old news , ancient history . jessica : well , tico is n't ancient history . i mean , i was married to the man who wanted you killed . cristian : this is crazy , jess . jessica : is it ? is it crazy ? because there 's a lot of resentment between us going way back to megan . i mean , that 's when everything started to go bad between us . cristian : i do n't know why you 're dragging her into this . that ended a lot time ago . jessica : ended ? what are you talking about ? megan is the baby that i lost . you were going to help me raise her . you do n't remember . cristian : how could you think i would forget something like that , huh ? just leave me the hell alone , all right ? you know , jess , i do n't know who 's stalking you , ok , but it 's not me . natalie : what the hell do you think you 're doing ? jessica : trying to get some answers . natalie : oh , i see . by harassing my husband ? you have no right . jessica : open your eyes , natalie ! he is not the man that you married ! natalie : what 's that supposed to mean ? jessica : it 's supposed to mean that cristian has changed , and everybody sees it but you . and you 'd better see it soon because it 's going to destroy our whole family . evangeline : you want to protect natalie . and if you 're right , there 's a lot to be worried about . john : yeah , there is . which is why i 'm going to get that d . n.a . sample with or without her permission . evangeline : she 's scared of the truth . and i 'm wondering what all this means for us . john : what am i supposed to do , look the other way ? evangeline : look , i know i told you that you ca n't be the one to help her , but we have to find out the truth . john : so you 're with me , then ? evangeline : she has to know . we all do . jessica : you 're my sister and i 'm trying to look out for you . natalie : by trashing my husband ? jessica : natalie , you saw him -- the bizarre behavior , the violence , not remembering things , important things that he should know ! natalie : you know , i am so sick and tired of everyone blaming cristian for everything ! jessica : like john ? natalie : the both of you are wrong about him . jessica : antonio found out that the cutters used to cut the elevator cable were taken from our toolshed . natalie : jessica ! cristian was on the elevator with antonio . what do you think , he 's trying to commit suicide now ? jessica : oh , why do you refuse to see that he 's not the man that he used to be ? natalie : and who is that , huh ? the man that loved you ? jessica : no . the man that loved you . natalie : cristian is not a threat to me , ok ? or to you or to anybody else , all right ? he is the same sweet man that i love and i married . jessica : are you willing to bet your life on that ? natalie : yeah . yeah , because i know that cristian would never do anything to hurt me . i know that . even if he tried , he couldn't . so , yeah , i bet my life on that . kevin : give me my son , you walk out of here free and clear . you do n't , i 'll have you arrested . either way , i still get him back . look , why do n't you make it easier on you and your father , hmm ? adam : do n't listen to him , son . stand your ground . bo : you do that , you 'll be charged with kidnapping along with the rest of these folks . adam : you do that and you will have made a very serious enemy . agent morrow : sounds like a threat to an officer of the law . kevin : you know what to do . arrest them . j.r. : now , just wait a second . kevin : hey . hey , buddy . how are you ? oh , man . oh , i missed you so much . hey , how are you ? come on , bo , let 's get out of here . tad : kevin . not a word babe said got through to you , did it ? how can you walk out of here with that baby , knowing how it 's going to feel for her ? babe : please do n't do it . just think of james . kevin : i 'm thinking of ace . do n't worry , i 'll take care of him . i 'm not like them . jamie : you take that baby , you 're just as bad . kevin : excuse me . babe : at least let me say goodbye , please ! please do n't take my son without -- without giving me that . duke : grandpa , that is the second time you 've been disrespectful to a woman in front of me . i mean , i did n't think buchanan men did that sort of thing . asa : when it comes to the damn cramers , duke , all bets are off . renee : asa , darling , you 're going to have another one of your heart attacks . duke : you know , i do n't even think you have a heart , grandpa , with the way you were treating kelly . asa : i take care of my own , the same way i tried to protect you when your mother took you away from us . duke : you fought for me ? renee : more than you 'll ever know . kelly : i 'm so sorry i got you involved in all this . adriana : do n't worry about me or duke , ok ? nobody makes him do anything he does n't want to do .

[ scene_break ] blair : some people believe in fate . i used to be one of them . todd and i were outcasts , damaged goods . we found each other , and i thought that we were destined to be together . i guess that explains the 5 marriages to each other . but this one -- it was the real deal . tomás : are you still in love with him ?

[ scene_break ] marcie : welcome to `` bridge the gap . `` i 'm marcie walsh , your host , and on today 's show we 're going to change the format a little . we 're not going to have guests representing different sides of a campus issue , as we usually do . instead , we have a panel of guests who will be giving us various insights into today 's topic , which is ' sexual harassment on the l.u . campus . and i am pleased to welcome two very special guests with me here today . from the llanview university psychology department , we have dr. rae cummings and dr. stephen haver . stephen : hello . good morning . marcie : good morning , hello . i 'd actually like to start with you , dr. haver . you know , a lot of people still joke about the problem of sexual harassment , but it actually is a very serious problem here currently on campus . stephen : well , my question is , if it is a joke , who 's laughing and why ? sexual harassment in an academic setting is just -- it 's a nightmare waiting to happen . the symptoms are psychological and physical for the victims . insomnia , loss of self - esteem , depression . marcie : and some of the examples of sexual harassment can be a sexist comment or another student coming on to a student in a way that is unwelcoming . or even , let 's say , a professor who offers a good grade in exchange for a sexual favor . stephen : at the same time , it 's important not to create an environment where the professors are so worried about sexual harassment that they feel they ca n't express their concerns about a student 's well - being , or -- or express an interest in their work . rae : exactly . you know , relationships can be so easily misconstrued . sexual harassment charges can absolutely destroy a person 's career and even their life . that 's why , at this university , we take this all very seriously . marcie : exactly . this is actually a really good time to bring someone else into the -- into the discussion . i would like to introduce jessica buchanan . you are a senior here at l.u . , and you 're actually the campus reporter for `` the banner . `` and jessica has written some really wonderful , amazingly insightful , interesting articles -- jessica : wow . marcie : about sexual harassment and the problem that we 're having here on campus . you actually spoke to a number of undergraduates who say that they have experienced this firsthand . jessica : yes , i spoke with four different woman who all have said that they 've been propositioned by the same professor who has been offering grades in exchange for sexual favors . marcie : well , why have n't they brought up the charges ? jessica : well , most of the time they 're terrified . they do n't want the publicity , they do n't want to labeled as troublemakers . and most of all , they 're afraid nobody 's going to believe them . marcie : well , actually , one of those women is here with us today , and she is a senior here at l.u . she 's a film major . and i want to thank you for coming . and without telling us what the professor 's name is , could you just tell us what happened ? it 's ok . jen : i -- i -- i ca n't . i 'm sorry , i just -- i ca n't do this . marcie : listen , i know that this is really hard for you to talk about , ok ? but if you do this , then you 're going to put this professor on notice that he can not get away with doing this to other students . jen : i was having huge personal problems , and i could n't keep up with my classes . rae : did you -- did you tell anyone about that ? i mean , did you go to a professor or to a dean ? jen : well , i wanted to , but i was embarrassed . so when i did n't turn in my paper , this professor asked me to stay after class , and he told me that i would fail his journalism course , and that was my minor . rae : jen , um -- marcie : well , why do n't you just -- jen : but the public has a right to know ! i learned that much in journalism . marcie : no , of course . well , why do n't you just tell us exactly -- jen : and anyway , it 's no big secret . any woman who takes one of professor barnes ' classes knows that he hits on all of his students . marcie : ok , is that what happened to you ? jen : i asked him for an extension on my paper , and he told me that i could get an ' a ' without even writing the paper . and then he asked me to come over to his house to discuss it . i asked him what he meant , and he sort of winked at me and told me he was n't too kinky . he told me if i gave him an a - plus performance , then that 's the grade that he would give me . stephen : owen . young man : wait , you ca n't come in here . stephen : owen -- rae : owen , what are you doing ? owen : this is professor owen barnes . and i 'll be joining this little panel right now . what ? you did n't think that i heard the buzz on campus all morning ? if they 're going to destroy my reputation and accuse me of a crime , i have a right to defend myself . [ scene_break ] rex : you 'll have to help me pick a place for the sculpture . it 's the only thing in here i like . lindsay : you could use a few well - chosen pieces in here , and i could help you with that . rex : when can we start ? lindsay : well , you could start by getting rid of all the stuff that troy left in here for you . rex : yeah . well , i could sell it on the internet . people pay big bucks for serial killer memorabilia . lindsay : god , rex , that 's terrible . rex : i 'm kidding ! joking . no , i just have his stuff lying around because i bought it with the place and have n't had time to get anything on my own . but you 're going to -- is that that good ? lindsay : do you have any milk ? rex : uh , yeah , well -- will this do ? lindsay : no , i 'll drink it black . rex : i 'll buy some real coffee . what do you like ? lindsay : anything not in a can . rex : you can tell i learned a lot about good taste growing up , huh ? lindsay : it 's all right . it 's never too late to learn . rex : well , i have a head start with the women i go for . first class .

[ scene_break ] marcie : if you were with us before the break , i 'm really glad you 're still listening . this is obviously not the place for a hearing on any individual case of sexual harassment . but if you have heard our discussion so far , you realize why it would be really hard for a victim to report it . dr. haver , you are actually the chair of the harassment grievance board here on campus , and that is where a student should go to make a complaint about sexual harassment . stephen : yes , jen buchanan should bring her complaint to the board , and we 'll give it a full investigation . of course , our mandate is to remain fair and impartial . but i 'll tell you from experience , most upstanding people in public can have deep , dark secrets in private . marcie : well , quite frankly , this is one secret that has been on this campus for way too long . you know , i have talked to many young women who have had the same experience as jen . jessica : yes , marcie , but students have to go on the record . i mean , it 's a teacher 's life and career on the line . the committee ca n't just rely on gossip alone . marcie : yeah -- no , no , i completely hear that point . and , you know , you are right , but i just do n't see why this has to go on . you know , if we can find one -- at least one other person who is willing to back up what jen said , it would make a huge difference . tammy : i will .

jen : i just do n't understand why he would risk his freedom to clear my name , especially since i 'm innocent . and , yeah , yeah , i used to be married to the guy . so there 's always going to be a small part of me that cares about him , what happens to him , but i 'm not in love with him . i 'm in love with you . you 've seen the worst in me , and you love me in spite of it . and you 've seen the best in me , too . i would take that love over rex 's any day . i should have been honest with you . i should have told you i went to see rex . i should n't have lied to you . riley : then why did you lie to me , jen ? when you lie to me about little things , it makes me wonder if you 're hiding something else , something bigger . mr. emerson : i 'm late for a bail hearing . i 'll check in with you later . rex : that 's it ? mr. emerson : nothing more i can do right now . rex : but you must have some idea of what 's going on . am i being released , or what ? mr. emerson : colson obviously has an ax to grind with you . and you 're not helping things by being such a smart - ass . rex : it 's my nature . what can i tell you ? mr. emerson : hang in there , kid . i 'll be back . blair : look , daniel , i was told -- daniel : blair , i really do n't have time . blair : look , i know that bo is out of town , but i was hoping that maybe somebody else from the police department heard something about todd or margaret cochran since i was here last . daniel : which was n't that long go , and , no , there 's nothing new to report . blair : look , i know nora probably filled you in , and she was actually very helpful to me , but if -- daniel : you know , blair , she 's not here right now , and i 'm extremely busy , so -- blair : well , is there anyone that can help me ? if -- daniel : now , now , look , you 're going to have to wait for bo to get back from louisiana or for nora to get here in the morning , but there 's nothing more that we can do for you tonight , ok ?

when i first went to new orleans , all i could think about was revenge . i just wanted to hurt the people who had hurt us , who had taken ace . then , you know , i just started thinking about what you said , and i did it . i watched babe , i watched her with ace , and you were right . she loves him . kelly : how could you take him away from her ? kevin : well , because . we were raising him in a loving and happy family . we were n't drugging each other , ok ? we were n't stealing babies and running off like fugitives . but in our worst moments , we never did what j.r. and babe did to each other , not even close . and you know why ? because he came first for us . now , that 's what mattered . we wanted the best for him . kelly : kevin , i -- kevin : look , i know i have a fight ahead of me , ok ? but in the end , i 'm going to win . i am . there 's not a judge alive who 'd want a child to grow up in a viper 's nest like the chandlers ' mansion . kelly : you do n't know what you 're in for . i 've been there , all right ? if you lose custody -- kevin : i 'm not going to lose . i just told you . kelly : kevin , when the judge gives ace back to his rightful parents -- that kind of pain is like nothing you 'll ever go through . i do n't know why you 'd want to put yourself through that . i ca n't put myself through it . i can't . kevin : what ? kelly : come on , why do n't we lay down for a little bit , ok ? kevin : wait a minute . hey , what are you doing ? kelly : i am not going to let my feelings cloud my better judgment . i 'm not going to let it make me do something i know is wrong . kevin : oh , wait a minute . where are you going ? kelly : i 'm going to the f . b.i . , i 'm going to the police , i 'm going to whoever will listen to me . i have worked too hard to make this right to let it go wrong again . daniel : thank you . rex : what 's going on ? why ca n't i leave ? daniel : do i have to explain it to you again ? rex : look , mr . colson , you and i both know that i may be unethical , immoral , materialistic , but i 'm no murderer . so what 's the story ? am i going to be sent back down to the holding cell , or are you going to do the honorable thing and set me free ? daniel : get his things and get him out of here . rex : you 're kidding ? you 're not kidding ? daniel : just get the hell out of my sight . rex : yes , sir . i wo n't be back . you can count on that . never again . that 's a promise . and i always keep my promises . jen : so now i 'm a liar ? is that what you 're saying ? riley : jen , no ! jen : just because i did n't tell you that i went to see rex that night , now i lie about everything ? riley : hello , you are making too much out of this ! no , you 're not . i am , and i 'm sorry . look , i do n't like that you lied to me about going to see rex , all right ? i do n't like the guy . i do n't like the way he looks at you , like you have some sort of connection still . look , he came in here , he said he was leaving town , i was like , `` finally , he 's out of our lives . `` and then he gets arrested for murder . jen : rex did not kill anybody . riley : how do you know that ? jen : i just do , ok ? can we just please not talk about this ? riley : look , hey , rex and i do have one thing in common . we would do anything to protect you . anything . lindsay : we will protect you , jen . do n't you worry . daniel colson better stay the hell away from you . evangeline : oh , that was just a wonderful surprise . thanks for dreaming that up . john : you 're welcome . you ca n't say i do n't take you to the fancy places . evangeline : you know what i mean . with all the craziness that 's been going on around us lately , it 's just so nice to talk about normal things , you know ?

[ scene_break ] noelle : are you out of your cotton - picking mind ? moe : no . noelle : or what ? what , taking over this house and all of dorian lord 's possessions and becoming what , lord of a manor ? you 're a cook . i 'm a waitress . you said you had all the things money ca n't buy . moe : i said that because i was broke . but dorian convinced me she wants to do this . she wants me to benefit from it . she wants us to benefit from it . noelle : and you think it 's all going to go real smooth , and dorian 's not going to want anything in return ? moe : do n't you get it ? i love you . i 'd give you the world if i had it , but i do n't . noelle : do you know why i rushed over here today , moe stubbs ? moe : no , why ? noelle : because delphina told me that money was going to get in the way of our happiness . moe : now wait -- noelle : yes , that 's right , the quack . she predicted this . so imagine my surprise when i come in here and see some rich city lady plopping you into a free pot of gold . [ scene_break ] david : you feel an overwhelming sense of peace in your inner sanctum , do n't you ? dorian : i would feel a lot more peaceful if i was n't so worried that noelle was going to talk maurice out of taking my offer . david : perhaps noelle needs a more personal approach . dorian : meaning ? david : maybe you should show her all the things she will receive from you . dorian : david , she 's already demonstrated she is n't interested in my clothes . david : mm . what is it they say in the material world ? diamonds are a girl 's best friend ? dorian : you want me to give her my diamonds ? david : think of it this way . when we walk barefoot through the snow to the temple and sleep on the concrete floor , will those diamonds keep you warm ? dorian : hmph .

[ scene_break ] [ schuyler sighs ] [ scene_break ] gigi : so what do you say , shane ? shane : yeah . i 'll look out for bree , not that it will make a difference . gigi : what do you mean ? shane : you think it 'll be any safer in texas ? mitch laurence killed jared . and the cops just let him go . they basically gave him a free pass . and now he has jessica . so we can run wherever we want , but we ca n't hide as long as mitch laurence is still out there .
after jessica has been taken by mitch , bo and rex decide that they ca n't let children be anywhere nearby when the police wo n't protect them . so bo and nora arrange to take shane and bree to the texas ranch where there is top security and mitch can not get to his `` grandchildren `` . clint is busy with kim when viki tries and fails to reach him . nora walks in on them . she has just slept with bo when they found out what happened to jessica . stacy needs to find a way to give birth at the right time so that rex believes that she is having his baby .
brody : you sure you do n't want me to carry him ? jessica : i can manage . brody : okay . well , the doctor said you should take it easy so , you know , if you feel any pain , you should just let me know and -- jessica : i 'm too happy . brody : oh , i am , too , baby , but ... jessica : do n't think i do n't know what you 're trying to do , okay ? you are trying to take this baby away from me . brody : it 's that obvious , huh ? jessica : he 's not exactly demanding . no . brody : he looks like he 's ready for a nap , though . jessica : i know . these past couple days have worn him out . brody : well , you think he can stay up for a surprise ? jessica : what surprise ?

[ jared chuckles ] jared : you surprise me , dorian , considering your history -- going after buchanan enterprises . you 've always had such a high premium on wealth and power . dorian : to my shame . but you should talk , as you went to the extreme of pretending that you were the true buchanan heir . [ dorian laughs ] dorian : oh , my goodness . so much subterfuge , when we had the answer sitting right here . jared : oh , so you know the answer ? dorian : david vickeroshi -- yes , david vickeroshi is the answer . he is the one who will lead us to spiritual enlightenment . though i would n't strain too much , if i were you , because you are marrying into the buchanan family , right ? you 're just totally taken care of . unless , of course , the true , long lost buchanan heir should happen to show up . david : oh , who cares about the buchanan money ? let 's go chant . they have the best cookies at morning satsang . jared : yeah , darn , i 'm going to have to miss that . i just remembered i have something to do . i 'll be back . dorian : namaste . jared : yeah , right . jared : she knows . [ scene_break ] téa : i am more than willing to fight for you , but you can not tie my hands . todd : téa , blair let me see my kids the other day -- my boys . and they were so thrilled to see me . now , i know i can win starr back , but not if you go after her . so please find another way . you 're just not going to use my kid . blair : nora , you spoke to this ketring woman , right ? i mean , do you think she 's telling the truth ? nora : she swears that todd coerced her into helping him with the kidnapping , and that she took the baby from the delivery room and put her in the office of dr. joplin 's . but she also swears that the baby was healthy and responsive . starr : how could that be ? dr. joplin said that she thought that there was something wrong with hope . that 's why she had the nurse bring her in the nicu . blair : yeah , but aunt dorian already checked , sweetheart , and she was never admitted there . nora : i have no way of knowing why dr. joplin said what she did . all i know is that ketring swears that she took a healthy baby and laid it in the crib in joplin 's office , and then she went and had a short conversation with todd , who told her he was no longer interested in kidnapping the baby . and when she and joplin went back into the office to get the baby to bring her to you , she had died . starr : my poor little baby . blair : oh , sweetheart . nora : the point is , todd paid ketring to take hope from the delivery room , take her out of the delivery room to joplin 's office , take her away from medical help -- take her away from doctors who could have helped her . todd 's actions led to hope 's death , and if i can convince a jury of that satisfactorily , that 's -- that 's felony murder . that 's life . [ scene_break ] téa : if starr 's testimony goes unchallenged , you will go to prison . todd : maybe if i pay some dues , it will bring us back together . you know , we could write each other letters and talk on the phone . téa : who are you kidding , huh ? todd : téa , if i lose my kids , i might as well jump off another roof . téa : you want me to find another way ? fine . i 'll find another way . [ scene_break ] blair : you 're going to charge todd with murder ? nora : hope 's death was in direct relation to todd 's actions . yes , i 'm going to up the charges to murder . starr : wait , but my dad did not know that she was sick . blair : starr , todd 's going to fight that . you know he will . look , i do n't want téa to go after starr up on the stand . nora : she 's going to . she 's going to try and discredit starr 's testimony . and she 's tough . we 've seen her in action . she 's going to say some really hurtful and upsetting things -- rude things . and then i 'll get to redirect , and i 'll try to protect you , but are you going to be able to keep your cool and not let her get to you ? starr : i am not afraid of téa delgado . it is the thought of having to testify against my father for something like murder . nora : honey , it 's not something like murder -- it is murder . your baby is dead -- yours and cole 's child . she 's gone , she ca n't defend herself , and she only has you to stand up for her . your father ca n't keep going through life , doing the things that he does , and keep getting away with it . i know this is tough because he 's your dad , but he has brought this on himself . starr : i know . nora : if you need me , you call me , okay ? otherwise , i 'll see you in court . blair : we 'll be there . nora : okay . i 'll see myself out . blair : thank you , nora . blair : look , honey -- starr : mom , you do n't have to say anything . i know that he deserves it . blair : but you should n't have to be the one to put him away . starr : i have to . i 'm hope 's mother . blair : yes , you are . jack : starr ? i heard you and mom . are you really going to put dad in jail ?

[ scene_break ] dorian : david , now that i 've signed over my house and possessions to moe and his fiancée , i feel so liberated . david : all those stocks and bonds ? dorian : those ? the stocks and the bonds are going to be signed over to the llanview clouds - in - river zen center and the sunshine - on - meadow mind temple .

[ glass shatters ] jessica : you murdered my brother - in - law . mitch : that kind of behavior is very unwise . jessica : you got some woman to drug me . you kidnapped me . mitch : in time , you 'll come to understand . jessica : i will never understand . mitch : you do n't need to worry . none of this is for you , my dear . jessica : then who is it for ? mitch : try not to trouble yourself , jessica . just know that i have taken every precaution to make sure that we will all be safe when the time comes . jessica : time for what ? [ scene_break ] rex : i wish that i could believe that mitch gave up on going after you that one time , but my psycho father is nothing if not persistent . stacy : are you trying to scare me ? rex : we ca n't afford to let our guard down , not for a second , because if we do , a lot -- stacy : okay . okay . no , no . i get it , but you 're here protecting me , and when you ca n't be , oliver fish is . rex : i 'm just glad that fish agreed to do this . he will protect that baby like it 's his own . [ scene_break ] oliver : kyle , this is not the time and place to be talking about whether or not i want kids . kyle : okay . when would it be ? maybe the kid 's high - school graduation ? oliver : oh , kyle , would you stop it , okay ? this is all just hypothetical . kyle : what if it is n't ? rex : hey , kyle . kyle : i got to get back to work . i 'll see you later . rex : i will be back soon , helpfully with good news about jessica . oliver : i hope you find her . rex : thanks . do not let stacy out of your sight . stacy : so , what was that lovers ' quarrel about ? oliver : well , kyle is not buying that that baby is schuyler 's and not mine . [ scene_break ] kim : schuy , just let me and stacy worry about the paternity test . you just make sure that baby comes when rex expects . schuyler : you know , all this lying and running around , this is n't me . kim : would you get over yourself , okay ? you 're doing it for a good cause . your mom is not gon na get hurt . she 's already dead . schuyler : do n't ever mention my mother again . kim : look . i 'm sorry , okay ? my mouth gets away from me sometimes . i just want everyone to be happy -- rex and stacy and the baby and you and gigi . is that so wrong ? schuyler : okay . okay . even if i wanted to get the oxytocin , they keep the meds here under strict surveillance . they keep them under lock and key . kim : oh , i know you 'll find a way . do n't think about doing it for stacy . think about doing it for gigi . [ scene_break ] clint : viki , how you holding up ? viki : i am so afraid . my only hope is that somewhere in that black heart of his , mitch actually loves her . clint : i think he does , and i do n't think he 's gon na hurt her . you know , last night when i got here , charlie was n't here . he 's not here this morning . has charlie fallen off the wagon ? viki : i found him last night in a bar , and he just does n't want to stop drinking . clint : he abandons you at a time like this ? viki : no . he 's dealing with so much , he does n't even know that jessica is gone . anyway , it does n't matter . i 'm so worried about jessie , i ca n't even think about charlie now . [ scene_break ] charlie : i will be ready when i get face to face with that son of a bitch . dorian : but you 're not a trained killer , charlie . it 'd be completely understandable if your hands were a bit shaky . how about something to steady your nerves ? [ scene_break ] marty : truth is , i 've noticed a growing closeness between the two of them , and i know they 're friends , i mean , and she just needs one now . she just lost her husband . i know what that 's like . she 's got this huge hole that she 's trying to fill and -- dr. levin : did natalie tell you that ? do n't do other people 's thinking for them . i want to know how you feel . marty : john is a cop . it 's his nature to try and protect someone who is in trouble , especially when that someone is a woman he cares about . dr. levin : this is how he was with you . marty : yeah . it became much more than that . i guess i 'm just worried that the same thing might happen between him and natalie . [ scene_break ] natalie : carter was always flirting with me when i worked here , so i figured i could distract him . john : natalie , no . natalie : john , this will work . he was checking me out when i walked in here , and he still is . john : yes . you 're very good - looking , all right , but i 'm not gon na let you put yourself in jeopardy for me . natalie : you mean , like you did when you took credit for stabbing mitch . john : i did n't want you paying for a mistake then , and i do n't want you paying for one now . natalie : well , maybe i do n't care what you want . john : hey , wait . listen . do n't try to break me out of here . i wo n't go . natalie : you ca n't do this . john : listen to me . go home . natalie : to do what , wring my hands ? john : you ca n't be in the middle of this . natalie : i could n't save my husband . i could n't kill mitch , and i could n't stop my sister from being kidnapped . i feel like i have no control over anything . john : yes , you do . [ scene_break ] dr. levin : okay , i 'll see you next week . marty : okay . yeah . nurse : doctor , you wanted to change a patient 's psych meds in 403 ? marty : ah , yes . i wanted to reduce him to chlorpromazine . nurse : great . okay . if you 'll just sign this requisition -- marty : sure . thank you . [ scene_break ] kyle : we need to talk . schuyler : uh , about what ? kyle : you sure you 're the father of stacy 's baby ? schuyler : yeah . why ? who else would be ? [ scene_break ] stacy : how many times do i have to tell you ? you 're not this kid 's father , oliver . did you want something to drink ? oliver : no . no . thank you . you had sex with schuyler . then you had sex with me a couple days later . how could you possibly be so sure ? stacy : i just know it because i 'm a woman , okay ? things happen inside a woman 's body , and i could just feel it , okay ? i could feel it with schuy , and when i went to the doctor , i told her the date of conception , and when she tested me , i was right . oliver : we were only a couple days apart . stacy : technology . i mean , they can practically pinpoint it down to the minute . oliver : okay , so you 're sure that this baby is schuyler 's . stacy : besides , you 're not ready to be a father , anyway , so go ahead . do your happy dance , but , matter of fact , can we drop it , please ? because when this baby is born , the only father she 's gon na know is rex . [ scene_break ] brody : hey , rex . rex : hey , any news ? brody : i 'm sorry . nothing yet . rex : i figured . brody : come on . rex : just want to see if maybe i could help . gigi : hey . rex : hey . brody : i 'm gon na check in with bo . gigi : clint said that shane is having a good time in texas so far . rex : yeah . it was a good plan . gigi : i know things are kind of rough between us , but i think it 's really nice that we can still come together for the sake of our kid , like clint and viki . [ scene_break ] clint : of course jessica is the most important thing right now , but i know that you 're worried sick about charlie . viki : i keep hoping he 'll go back into the program , you know ? clint : yeah . ca n't his sponsor do something to help him ? viki : yeah . he wo n't answer those calls , either . he needs help . he just needs help . i think the only way he 's gon na be able to deal with these feelings , this rage that he has toward mitch , is to connect with somebody who understands . [ scene_break ] charlie : i 'm done drinking , dorian . i got back on the wagon the day i decided to get rid of mitch . i need a clear head . dorian : i was not gon na offer you a drink . [ charlie exhales ] dorian : i thought perhaps you could use this for extra motivation . charlie : i do n't need it . i think about my son all the time and about how that bastard snuffed out his life . do n't worry . i am not gon na be distracted by anything . dorian : not even viki ? charlie : n -- not even viki . have n't gone near the house . i do n't even listen to her messages . i think if i heard her voice , if i heard that love in her voice , i might not be able to do what i have to do . dorian : mm - hmm . charlie , are you sure that you can do this ? charlie : yeah . i 'm sure . dorian : what if viki ca n't forgive you ? charlie : look , dorian . i do n't deserve to be forgiven . after all the hell i put jared through , this is all i can do right now for my son and for viki and for natalie . i can wipe mitch laurence off the face of this earth so that he can never ever hurt anybody else again . dorian : good . you 're ready . charlie : yeah . i am , and now it 's your turn . are n't you supposed to be giving me mitch 's location ? dorian : yes . i 'm working on it . he 's supposed to contact me , but he 's being strangely silent right now . [ scene_break ] mitch : my , my , my , are n't we curious ? but you know what they say about curiosity . jessica : to hell with what they say . you said you were n't gon na hurt me , so i 'm getting out of here . mitch : oh , i 'm sorry . i ca n't let that happen . jessica : try and stop me . mitch : that i wo n't do . nurse charles : but i will . jessica : ow . [ scene_break ] kyle : look . all i 'm saying is that stacy made a play for me , right ? then she slept with you , so if she wanted to make a new baby so bad , who 's to say she did n't sleep with somebody else ? schuyler : well , like who , and why would she ? she has a perfect stooge . kyle : to juice her odds maybe . schuyler : kyle , what is this really about ? you know rex is n't the father . you already promised you would n't say anything . why are you trying to make somebody else responsible for what i did ? [ pager beeps ] kyle : sorry . it 's e.r . i got to run . [ scene_break ] oliver : you know , i 'm kind of relieved that i 'm not the father . i mean , after all these years of being in the closet , kyle and i finally found our way back to each other . to have a kid now , completely unplanned , talk about putting pressure on our relationship . stacy : or it could make it stronger . kim : i was just at the hospital making sure that ever -- that my implants were n't on the recall list . stacy : uh , could you wait outside ? kimmy and i need to talk about some girl stuff . kim : yeah . oliver : sure . kim : sorry . is rex here ? stacy : no . he 's visiting with jessica 's family . kim : oh , my god , you know how much i ca n't stand that girl , but clint is really broken up about her missing . stacy : rex , too . i got to tell you , it 's bringing us closer together . kim : i wish i could make him feel better . stacy : you were right there , were n't you ? you were getting ready to seal the deal when his ex dropped that news about jessica . kim : that 's not what i mean . my heart really goes out to clint right now . stacy : whoa , kimmy , you 're actually falling for this chump . kim : no . it 's just , well , no one deserves what he 's going through right now . [ scene_break ] brody : john 's contact got back to me with the initial forensics report on mitch 's letter . viki : and ? clint : brody , tell me that there 's something in there that will help us find jessica . brody : the paper it was written on absorbed trace minerals from its environment . there 's andesite and northonopine rock . viki : what does that mean ? brody : there 's residue of andean volcanic rock and specific rock to australia . clint : well , how could it have been written on two continents so far away from llanview ? brody : it could n't have been . john 's guy is running more tests . what we 're looking for is some kind of place that would house both those substances . [ scene_break ] mitch : sorry , my darling , but , like i said , i ca n't let you leave , and nurse charles only administered enough narcotic to remind you of that . jessica : you 're that bitch that drugged me at llanfair . mitch : jessica , please . that language is very unbecoming of the messenger 's daughter , and it certainly will not be appropriate when the little lamb comes . [ scene_break ] gigi : just so you know , no matter how i feel about stacy , i am glad your baby is being protected . rex : thanks . uh , just so you know , you might get some paperwork in the mail . i had to change my will to include the baby . gigi : of course . rex : i still have to name a guardian . it 'll probably be jessica or natalie , but it wo n't change anything for shane . gigi : thanks for the heads - up . i 'm gon na go . i really hope they find your sister soon . viki : thanks , brody . rex , hi . rex : oh , viki , hey . stan : morning , all . viki : what are you doing here ? stan : well , i just dropped by to say that even though jessica has n't been missing for 24 hours , out of respect for your family 's contribution to llanview , i 'm doing everything i can to find her . clint : no , you 're not . you have n't called in the fbi . stan : well , until we have reason to believe that jessica has gotten herself beyond state lines -- clint : wait . `` gotten herself `` ? she was kidnapped . brody : you do n't want to find her . you want to find out what we know so you can report back to mitch laurence . clint : you 're so far in laurence 's pocket , you ca n't see daylight . stan : that 's wrong . i run my department by the book , and mitch laurence has an airtight alibi . at the time of jessica 's abduction , he was being assaulted by brody lovett and john mcbain . [ scene_break ] john : you have control . do n't let laurence drive you to doing something you 're gon na regret . natalie : like bust you out of here ? john : go home and be with your family . they need you more than i do . natalie : john , i hate that you 're behind bars . john : listen to me . you got to trust me . you can do that , right ? natalie : i can do that . i trust you . [ scene_break ] gigi : schuy ? schuyler : yeah ? gigi : sorry . did i scare you ? schuyler : no . no , no , no . oh -- what are you doing around these parts ? gigi : i was just at llanfair . schuyler : yeah ? with jessica 's family ? gigi : yeah . i felt so bad for them , made me grateful for everything in my life , like you . i saw rex when i was there . schuyler : oh . how was that ? gigi : a little weird . he told me that he 's changing his will to include the baby . he wants natalie or jessica to be its guardian , which makes sense . are you all right ? [ scene_break ] marty : hey , natalie . natalie : hi . marty : uh , any news about jessica ? natalie : no . no , and actually , i should probably get going in case they hear something . thank you -- for everything . marty : jessica , man , she was just getting her life back . she really does n't deserve any of this . john : nobody deserves this . marty : how are you holding up ? john : yeah . i 'm good . i 'm just waiting on me arraignment . thank you again for getting me a lawyer . marty : are you kidding ? elijah clarke comes highly recommended . what does he say about you making bail ? john : oh , he said he would give it his best shot . marty : good . natalie seemed pretty upset . stands to reason . i mean , her husband is murdered and now her sister is missing . john : hopefully , she wo n't do anything desperate this time . [ scene_break ] charlie : i 've already destroyed my marriage so that i can do this , so i really do n't want to wait around anymore . you need to find mitch now . dorian : i think i know someone who knows where he is . [ scene_break ] stan : i sincerely hope that no one is thinking about taking matters into their own hands . that would be obstructing justice . clint : what justice ? my daughter is missing because you let that animal go . [ cell phone rings ] stan : excuse me . commissioner lowell . dorian : commissioner , this is your mayor . we need to talk . stan : not a good time . viki : is this about jessica ? dorian : was that viki ? stan : no . it was other police business . i have to go , but i will be in touch if my men find anything more about jessica . rex : well , we wo n't hold our breath . [ scene_break ] [ cell phone rings ] stan : dorian -- dorian : do n't you ever hang up on me again . i need to speak to mitch laurence . where is he ? stan : how should i know ? dorian : what 's going on ? why are you with viki ? stan : viki 's daughter jessica is missing . dorian : oh , dear . stan : we 're doing everything we can to find her . dorian : i will see you later . charlie : what 's wrong ? dorian : jessica is missing . charlie : she 's missing ? dorian : i do n't know the details . charlie : oh , i do n't need details , okay ? laurence has got her . viki must be out of her mind . i 've got to get over there . dorian : charlie , wait . charlie : look . you think i needed extra motivation ? laurence , you 're a dead man . [ scene_break ] jessica : rex told me you tried to kidnap stacy . that 's for her and rex 's baby , is n't it ? mitch : our very own prince of peace . he 'll lead us all into the future , and you , my child , have a very special role in his life . [ scene_break ] schuyler : yeah . i 'm fine . i 'm fine . it 's just , when you start mentioning wills -- i do n't know -- it 's a weird thinking about your own death when you 're still young . gigi : oh , yeah . i know , but these are the things you deal with when you 've got a kid , and rex is going to have another one . schuyler : yeah . imagine that . gigi : i 'm still furious about everything stacy did to win rex when shane was sick , but i 'm not as mad about the baby as i used to be . schuyler : really ? gigi : in a way , it 's because rex is having this baby with stacy that you and i were able to find our way to each other , and i have to be grateful for that , right ? schuyler : ha ! yeah . gigi : anyway , i got to run . i just wanted you to know i was thinking about you . schuyler : okay . nurse : is that a requisition form you have for me ? [ scene_break ] kim : so , looks like schuy grew a conscience since we knew him in vegas . i only hope he can score us the oxytocin . stacy : hmm , i just wish he would n't be so protective of this baby , especially considering it 's not his . [ scene_break ] [ cell phone ] oliver : hey . kyle : hey , i just assisted on an appendectomy , and there were complications . oliver : wait . you lost a patient ? kyle : no , thank god , but it was touch and go for a while , and it just made me think that if i ever lost you , i do n't know what i 'd do . oliver : you 're not losing me . kyle : i 'm sorry about before , oliver . i never should 've got in your face like that . oliver : yeah . i 'm sorry that i was n't listening , but i did talk to stacy again , and she 's sure that the baby is n't mine . kyle : good . good , good . i 'm glad you did that . oliver : me , too . you know , i really just want it to be the two of us for a while . [ scene_break ] stacy : schuy will come through for us . now he 's got gigi , there 's no way he 'll risk losing her .

[ scene_break ] brody : i ca n't believe lowell had the nerve to come here . that son of a bitch is still doing mitch 's bidding . why else would he warn us off looking for jess ? rex : well , he 's not stopping me . clint : rex , what are you planning on doing ? rex : i need to follow up on something . i 'll be in touch . clint : listen . i 'm gon na go talk with my people again , get them to step up their efforts . viki : thank you . clint : it 's just that i do n't feel right leaving you here . viki : oh , i 'm fine . i 'm all right . actually , it 'll make me feel better to know that you 're out there doing something . clint : you 'll call me if anything happens here ? viki : of course i will . clint : all right . listen . i will be back soon . you take care of yourself . [ scene_break ] marty : i miss you . john : i miss you . i 'll be out of here soon . marty : yeah , unless the judge is in lowell 's pocket . john : i have a feeling this is gon na be my last day in jail . marty : please do n't tell me you 're gon na do something reckless .

[ scene_break ] jessica : i know i will play a very special role in rex 's baby 's life . i will be its aunt . i 'm not gon na let you hurt a hair on its little head . mitch : now , why would i want to harm our shepherd ? he 's the chosen one , and you will play a far more important part than just being his aunt . you are going to be his mother .
marty is jealous of natalie and talks to her therapist about it . natalie goes to the jail and tells john that she is going to bust him out . john tells her he does n't want her to do it and if she tries , he wo n't go . marty comes to the jail just in time to see natalie holding john 's hands . natalie goes home and tells brody they have to break john out of jail and he reveals that he is already working on it . charlie practices shooting at the gun range to prepare to shoot mitch lawrence . when dorian tells him that jessica is missing , he tells her that is all the motivation he needs . bree and shane are at the buchanan ranch in texas to keep them safe from mitch laurence . brody had a forensics lab analyze the letter that mitch sent to jessica . they found trace metals that are found in the andes and in south america so they are trying to discover a local location that has both metals . jessica wakes up and finds herself mitch 's hostage at the fort osborn conservatory . mitch tells her he is not going to hurt her , but when she tries to leave , nurse charles gives her an injection . mitch reveals his plan to take stacy 's baby . he tells jessica that she will be the child 's mother . kyle still thinks oliver is the father of stacy 's baby . kyle asks schuyler if he is sure he is the dad . oliver asks stacy if she is sure schuyler is the father . kim presses schuyler to get the oxytocin to induce stacy 's labor . he gives into her blackmail and forges a requisition form to get the drug .

schuyler concludes that if something happens to stacy or to rex , he needs stacy to sign over guardianship to him . she does so in exchange for his helping her to induce labor so that rex will believe the baby is his . rex runs into dorian and tells her she needs to do something about mitch . she then contacts charlie and tells him that she has an idea about how to get rex to let jessica go , involving `` somebody `` who is more important to mitch than jessica . mitch and the nurse hold jessica captive , drug her and intend to brainwash her to forget all the people she loves and raise rex and stacy 's baby with him .

the two baby boys are ready to get christened . it appears both parents have wanted to name their baby asa , but they later decide on liam asa mcbain and ryder asa lovett . natalie and john designate rex and gigi to be their son 's godparents . gigi and rex are also keeping the secret for natalie that it appears that brody is her baby 's father . jessica asks joey to be her baby 's godfather . kelly attends with him . aubrey stays behind to talk to cutter about their `` options `` involving scamming joey . she tells him that it 's not a lost cause with getting joey 's money . clint wo n't dare disinherit him with what she 's ( aubrey ) found out about him from her friend , vimal 's wife . but cutter indicates he 'd prefer aubrey give up on joey and instead he wants to `` date `` and scam kelly , knowing that her aunt dorian has as much money as joey 's family . echo moves in on charlie while he 's come down with a cold and ca n't attend the christening . rex is torturing himself wondering whether to find out if clint is his father or not . aubrey joins joey and his family at the christening and is ready to make an `` announcement `` to the family .

starr finds she can not testify against her father . so , in court , she announces that todd never intended to kidnap her child and she merely lied because she was angry at him . at that point , nora realizes that janet is her last hope . but after janet has discovered the headline in the sun where todd has exposed her , she has escaped . and , we find out that wes knows janet . she slept with his father and took all of his money when wes was a child . meanwhile , jessica returns home and is welcomed by everybody in the house except for natalie and bree . natalie lays down the law to her that while being tess , jessica abandoned bree and it 's a miracle that chloe did not die after tess gave birth without going to a hospital since she was too concerned about blowing up natalie and jared to let them out so they could help her when she went into labor . starr then goes to her `` allegedly `` dead baby 's grave telling her how sorry she is and the dilemma of whether to protect her or todd in the courtroom . little does anybody know what really happened in regard to the two babies ( chloe and hope ) .

[ scene_break ] michael : i do n't think i need to hear anything you have to say about marcie . hayes : not even if it might help her ? michael : help her ? the only thing you 've done for marcie since you met her is tear her down , telling her how she 's not thin enough , she 's not smart enough , she 's not -- hayes : michael , if you 'd just calm down -- michael : no , i 'm not going to calm down , okay ? i sat back long enough while you made marcie feel less of herself , pretending the whole time that it was for her own good . well , you know what ? that 's a bunch of crap . hayes : really ? you have so little respect for her talent ? you do n't care whether or not her book is a success ? michael : you know , i 'm having a hard time understanding what her weight has to do with the success of her book ! hayes : you know , as an agent , it is my job to make sure that she is the best that she can be . michael : well , i got to tell you , pal , you 're doing one hell of a job . hayes : you know , michael , this meeting that she has tonight is crucial . she is being prepped to meet with the c.e.o . of the largest chain of bookstores in the united states . if they agree to sell her book , not only will be she a household name , but she 'll be set for life . if that does n't matter to you , michael , then maybe you do n't care about her as much as you say you do .

[ scene_break ] natalie : i had a nightmare . jessica : me , too . it was about robert ford .

[ scene_break ] aubrey : joey , where are you ? call me as soon as you get this . i 'm worried . [ knock on door ] aubrey : joey ? oh . cutter : do n't look so happy to see me . aubrey : i ca n't find joey . he never showed up last night . i 've left him a ton of messages . cutter : he probably went somewhere after the party to crash someplace else . aubrey : or clint threw him in the back of a jet and flew him off to abu dhabi to get even with me for blackmailing him . cutter : yeah . that makes sense . aubrey : he told me he was going to get even . it 's only a matter of time before he tries something . [ scene_break ] clint : those cameras that you hid in aubrey wentworth 's hotel , they 've been running for how long ? mark : it 's just over a day . clint : okay , that should be long enough to catch the gold digging little tramp doing something that she should n't be doing . ah , what a perfect day . i 'm stopping one wedding and celebrating two others . [ scene_break ] natalie : i dreamt about marty . jessica : it 's okay . it 's okay . we 're just having butterflies . you know ... whew , i dreamt about robert ford . he was going to be problem for brody , even though brody kept on telling me that he was n't . but it 's okay . it 's okay because the paternity test proved that the right man is ryder 's father . and we 're getting married . and so are you . natalie : mm - hmm . jessica : there is no way marty 's stopping this wedding . [ scene_break ] john : hey . what 's going on , starr ? starr : i just wanted to tell you , i went to see marty . [ scene_break ] james : i 'm not thinking about starr . that 's over . i 've moved on . langston : mm - hmm . what 's this then ? hmm . james : the bullet that almost killed me , and it reminds me that i 'm a survivor . ford : langston is right , dude . now that you lost that study grant , you need to be looking for a job . james : yeah ? maybe not . 'cause michelle found out that i can ask for a hearing -- to challenge the administration 's decision to pull my grant . so there you go . ford : michelle ? which one is that again ? langston : oh , that 's the girl he 's dating . so how serious are you guys , hmm ? [ scene_break ] starr : so cole asked me to , you know , look in on his mom . john : how 's cole doing ? starr : better . um , i talked to him on the phone yesterday . anyway , i brought hope over to st. ann 's . john : you took hope ? starr : well , she stayed in the playroom at first , until i knew it was safe for her to see marty . marty 's , um ... she 's really confused . she was acting like this doll that she had was her baby and that you were the father . john : she was up at the lodge when natalie gave birth and i do n't know what happened , but it 's like she just ... she just snapped . you know , she thought the baby was hers and she had no memory of the miscarriage . starr : no , but that 's just it -- she does . when i brought hope in to see her , something in her must have clicked . she knew who hope was , that she was her granddaughter , and she remembered that cole was in prison , and that she fell down the stairs and that 's why she lost her baby . she even remembered that natalie was the one that had her baby at the lodge . the only thing she did n't seem to remember was that the baby was yours . but i think it 's only a matter of time until she remembers everything else . [ scene_break ] jessica : you know , i do n't blame you for having a nightmare about marty . she dragged you up to the lodge , she tried to kidnap liam . natalie : you know what ? i do n't want to think about marty . jessica : you 're right . you 're right -- she 's in st. ann 's . she 's not going to be a problem today . i 'm so happy we get to do this together . you know , after all that we 've been through , it 's -- natalie : okay . stop . stop , stop . you 're going to make me cry and ca n't have puffy eyes on the wedding day . mom would kill me . jessica : she has been a little anxious about pulling this whole thing off . natalie : huh - huh . jessica : but i ca n't really blame her . it 's been short notice . natalie : yeah , well , i 'm just glad that dad did n't freak on john and brody the way he did aubrey . jessica : oh ... i ca n't believe he was actually going to disinherit joey . natalie : i know , but at least he came around . looks like aubrey 's going to be a part of the family , after all . [ scene_break ] aubrey : clint warned me that he 'd make me pay . cutter : by sending his son to abu dhabi ? i doubt it . aubrey : well , then where is he ? cutter : you 're really worried about him ? aubrey : we 're scamming the guy , cutter , and his father knows . what if he told joey that i blackmailed him , or that we 're not brother and sister ? cutter : so you 're worried about you and me ? aubrey : what else ? cutter : maybe that joey 's with kelly ? [ scene_break ] kelly : aha ! joey : a can opener . what are you going to do , can - open your way out of here ? kelly : i do n't know about you , but i 'm starving . joey : oh , yes . i knew there was a reason we 'd get locked in here together . do they have any pretzels ? kelly : no , sorry . joey : oh . kelly : do you know what ? it 's very weird . joey : what ? kelly : well , vivian sent me in here to look for some reception stuff , but i tell you , i do n't see one box marked `` wedding . `` joey : hmm . how about champagne ? kelly : do n't you think it 's a little early ? joey : no , not for me . shaun had me come in here and help him find a special case of champagne that john had set aside and then he had to run . kelly : vivian got called away and said that one of her patients was going into labor and then ... we got locked in here . joey : wait , so you think they set us up ? you honestly think they lured us here and locked us in ? kelly : maybe . joey : all right , why ? kelly : so they could get us alone together . kelly : um , you know , i had a long talk with vivian last night at the party . and , you know , it 's not like we 're best friends , but she was my doctor . kind of poured out my heart to her . joey : yeah . you know , i actually had a long talk with shaun . basically , we had just met . you know , it 's funny how that works . how sometimes it 's easier to say those things to -- to people you do n't really know . kelly : yeah . joey : yeah . kelly : except the thing is , you 're the one i should be talking to . joey : me ? kelly : yeah , and i 've been trying , you know , but ... when you first got back to llanview and we had that almost - talk . joey : oh , yeah . yeah . kelly : vivian said i should just , you know , tell you , but what 's the point ? it 's too late , right ? i probably should n't even be bringing it up . only ... i spent the night on your shoulder and i -- i -- i 'm tired and i smell like your cologne , so , you know , what the hell ? joey , um , i have something really important to tell you and ... joey : okay . [ kelly coughs ] joey : oh , my god . peanuts ? i ca n't take you anywhere , can i ? come here , come here . one , two , three ! you okay ? kelly : yeah . joey : okay ? kelly : i got it . joey : all right . kelly : okay , i do n't want to do this anymore , okay ? joey : yeah . no ... you 're not kidding . all right , no more small food for you now , so -- kelly : i 'm not talking about peanuts , i 'm not talking about lemons , and i 'm not talking about olives , okay ? joey , i -- i have ... to tell you the truth . [ scene_break ] cutter : huh . that 's funny . i ca n't reach kelly , either . aubrey : that does n't mean they 're together . why would they be together ? joey 's in love with me . cutter : you sound pretty sure about that . aubrey : he better be if you want your share of the deal . cutter : that 's why i 'm dating kelly -- insurance . aubrey : oh , please . do n't act like it 's some hardship . cutter : right . and you 're pulling hazard pay dating the shutterbug . you know , if you think about it , that 's probably where he is . aubrey : what do you mean ? cutter : taking pictures . i mean , it is both of his sisters ' weddings today . aubrey : oh , you 're right . why did n't i think of that ? cutter : now i get a kiss ? what about last night ? aubrey : i thought joey was on his way . cutter : you still owe me , big - time . i snagged that yearbook , switched the picture . aubrey : what about kelly ? does n't she kiss you ? cutter : not like you . cutter : come here . [ scene_break ] clint : go back to aubrey 's hotel room and pick up the footage . i got a feeling that we just hit pay dirt . mark : right . clint : you know , mr. blue , if you pull this off , there 's a bonus in it for you . just like there was when you took care of that ford kid who hurt my jessie . [ scene_break ] james : me and michelle are no big deal . langston : oh , but you 're going together to her sorority 's valentine 's day party . james : how do you know that ? langston : i was at the gym when she asked you . james : well , she 's in charge of it and she needed a date , so ... langston : hmm . ford : hey , langston , i thought you were helping me look for a job . langston : so you 're not serious about her then , hmm ? oh , look . rodi 's is hiring . [ scene_break ] starr : but i think it 's a really good sign that marty remembered as much as she did . john : me , too . i appreciate you letting me know . starr : of course . i 'm sorry , um , i 'm -- i 'm going to statesville this afternoon to see cole . it 's my one day this month where i can visit him , so unfortunately , i wo n't be at your wedding . but congratulations . and to you , too , brody . brody : thanks , starr . john : thanks . who wants to see a wedding , anyway ? listen , tell cole i 'll be by to see him next week , okay ? starr : okay . thank you for being such a good friend to him . john : you take care of yourself . brody : sounds like marty might just come through this . john : yeah . with a little luck , everything she 's forgotten will come back to her . natalie 's voice : she 's watching us . brody 's voice : what ? natalie 's voice : she suspects something about the baby . brody 's voice : no . natalie 's voice : she told me that she saw something between us . brody : yeah , that would be great . [ phone rings ] [ second phone rings ] john : yours ? brody : you , too . hey , you . jessica : i miss you . brody : you know , me , too , but i thought this was against the rules . john : hey , i hate to admit this , but i think i missed you last night . natalie : yeah ? john : yeah , and brody snores . [ scene_break ] brody : i thought this was bad luck . jessica : to see the bride , not to talk to her . brody : well , i just do n't want anything going wrong . jessica : and since we both saw what marty did to natalie 's wedding , i understand . but what could go wrong ? [ scene_break ] john : oh , so you 're telling me this is why you wanted to get married ? so you can see me in a tux ? [ natalie chuckles ] natalie : you make my heart melt , you curl my toes , and you make me believe that anything 's possible . i 'll see you at the church . john : i 'll see you when i see you . brody : i love you . brody : what 's wrong ? john : hmm ? you know , i just do n't like having this secret on my wedding day . brody : what secret ? john : the girls do n't know that their father 's a murder suspect , and they 're not going to be too happy when they find out . [ scene_break ] ford : i 'm going to go talk to the manager and see if they 're hiring . langston : okay . good luck . ford : thanks . starr : lang ? langston : hey , i got your message . what 's going on ? starr : i went to see marty . langston : did you tell your dad ? well , i 'm just saying ... starr : he was wrong . i should have never have kept that restraining order . langston : yeah , well , it 's not your fault that marty lost her memory . starr : well , that 's the thing . actually , i brought hope to see marty . and when she saw her , it sort of helped her remember . langston : well , that 's good . starr : yeah . langston : what ? starr : well , seeing marty with hope , it just ... it made me realize that i 'm not the only person cole has , you know ? he has his mom when she gets better , and even if she does n't , he has his daughter . and when he gets out of prison , you know , he 'll have a relationship with her and i 'll make sure of that . langston : where are you going with this ? starr : i 'm starting to wonder if maybe cole was right . maybe i should n't put my life on hold for 10 years . langston : starr , are you saying you 're going to break up with cole ? starr : oh , never mind . langston : no , hold on . starr , wait . [ scene_break ] james : hey , michelle . i thought was n't seeing you till later . michelle : is it okay ? i needed to talk to you . james : yeah , it 's fine . come on in . my brother 's out looking for a job , so ... what 's up ? michelle : um , i spoke to my academic advisor . he 's the head of the pre - law division . james : oh , the one that you were going to ask about my hearing , right ? michelle : yeah . and i told him that the grant was taken away without any warning and i showed him that section in the handbook about students being entitled to a hearing . james : uh - huh . michelle : he wanted to know why the grant was rescinded so abruptly . [ scene_break ] clint : i do n't recall inviting you -- ford : you set me up . you planted that money in my office and you tried to pin my father 's murder on me so that i would n't go to your brother -- who happens to be the commissioner -- and tell him that you hired two goons to beat me up . well , guess what . it did n't work . now , i was willing to take that beating because of what happened between me and jessica , but there 's no way -- there 's no way i 'm going to jail for a crime i did not commit . now the police know everything . clint : and yet , here i am . my brother had a few questions for me , but he could n't prove a damn thing . so , i 'm still free and i 'm still rich , and you and your brother are poor and friendless . ford : wha -- what kind of a man are you ? clint : a very powerful one . you should have learned that by now . do n't mess with me or my family . if you do , you 'll regret it . [ scene_break ] cutter : i got to hand it to that clint buchanan . figuring out a way to change both his son 's and daughter 's paternity test . the guy 's good . aubrey : i 'm better . cutter : yeah , you are . and you look better in a dress . even better out of one . aubrey : no , no , no -- careful . joey could still show up any minute . we do n't want to screw things up now . cutter : joey ... aubrey : not when we 've finally solved all our problems . [ scene_break ] joey : i 'm almost afraid to ask . kelly : okay , and i 'm definitely afraid to tell you . because obviously if i do n't , i will choke or go blind , so ... the olive was try number one . and the lemon in my eye was number two . joey : yeah . kelly : right ? and now the peanuts -- the peanuts , that 's -- joey : that 's three ? kelly : yeah , so maybe the third time was a charm , so here it goes . um ... joey ... joey : yeah ? kelly : the truth is , i -- i ... i 've never gotten over you . [ scene_break ] natalie : i know with the `` something old , `` i know that it 's supposed to be kind of like family history , but roxy was n't really great with the keepsakes , so anyway ... this ribbon here , that 's what she used to put in my hair when i wanted to play princess , and she said that i 'd be a princess someday , and i kind of feel like one today , like i 'm gon na ride off into the sunset with my lieutenant charming . [ both giggle ] natalie : and this one here is new . see the date ? i embroidered that myself . yes , i still have the holes in my fingers to prove it . ha ha ! i know . and this one here is from bree . she said that you could borrow it on your wedding day . and this blue one here is from ryder 's christening blanket . so , honey , you just pin this little mess in your dress and you 'll have everyone that you love close to your heart . jessica : i love you , natalie . natalie : i love you . [ scene_break ] john : hey , i 'm no expert , but i think the best man 's supposed to hold the rings . brody : since i 'm your best man and you 're mine ... john : good . brody : hard to believe , huh ? john : what ? us both getting married ? yeah . hey , look ... i appreciate you standing up for me , brody . brody : hey , it 's mutual . john : i know we work together , but i also consider you a friend . brody : like we said at the station , i feel the same . john : what ? what 's that ? brody : the flowers . john : would n't those be at the church already ? brody : no , no , the ones for us . the -- what do you call it ? the -- john : boutonnieres ? brody : boutonnieres . yeah . i got ta pick those up . john : just call and have them delivered . brody : i need some air . i 'll pick them up . john : you 're not getting cold feet , are you ? brody : no way . i ca n't wait to marry that girl . but if we do n't have those boutonnieres , there 'll be hell to pay . i 'll see you at the church . john : i 'll see you . [ scene_break ] kelly : say something . joey : wow . kelly : wow ? that 's it ? joey : yeah . no , i mean , i -- ha ! kelly , i knew there was something going on with you . how long have you known this ? kelly : since i kissed rex balsom . joey : you ? you kissed rex balsom ? kelly : it was an experiment that failed , okay , but it taught me something . you 're the one i want to kiss . so i took the first flight to london , only you were on your way back here . joey : wait , wait . the whole thing with kevin ? kelly : was a lie . you had just proposed to aubrey -- after i thought you were proposing to me . and i just felt so humiliated . i had to say something . i 'm sorry . it was dumb . i guess ... i guess i tried to convince myself that you felt something , too . when you saved me from the olive ? and that time at the gym ? but you were just doing the right thing . or it was the pheromones from working out . ha ha ! right ? you know , when you found me at cutter 's , i -- i do n't know . i actually thought that you were jealous . joey : i was jealous . [ scene_break ] aubrey : ugh . still no word from joey . why has n't he called me ? i do n't get it . and where is kelly ? cutter : you want me to go to my room and see if she left me a message ? aubrey : yes . would you ? cutter : mm - hmm . aubrey : thank you . cutter : no . nothing . open . aubrey : joey , it 's me again . sorry . i know you 're probably busy with wedding stuff but will you call me when you get this ? thanks . [ knocking on door ] aubrey : back already ? mr. blue : good morning , ma'am . i 've got to adjust those thermostats we installed the other day . aubrey : i thought they were brand - new . mr. blue : well , which is why we have to adjust them . aubrey : oh . sure . be my guest . [ scene_break ] clint : this conversation is over . ford : you know what ? i feel sorry for you . [ scene_break ] starr : i ca n't break up with cole . i love him . langston : okay , i know that , but that does n't mean you have to sacrifice your entire life for him . starr : is n't that completely selfish of me ? if he were in the army , i would wait for him then , right ? langston : okay , but usually , soldiers are n't gone for 10 years . and besides , he 's not in the army . he 's in prison for shooting a man . starr , look , i know that he was n't thinking and he was just in this rage because he thought that you and hope were dead , but none of that would 've happened if he had put his faith in you instead of some crazy girl . and that happened for a reason . i mean , truth is , you and cole were almost broken up before that happened . starr : that 's a little harsh , do n't you think ? langston : no , it 's honest . you 've been miserable for months . [ scene_break ] james : i thought that i showed you the letter from the school . it said that they canceled the grant because of economic considerations , so -- michelle : yeah , that 's what i told my advisor , but apparently , it does n't matter why they rescinded the grant . your case falls outside the parameters , which means you 're not eligible for a hearing . i 'm really sorry . i should n't have gotten your hopes up . i guess being pre - law does n't make me a lawyer . james : it 's okay . i really appreciate you trying to help . michelle : i just wish there was something i could do . was that a mistake ? [ scene_break ] starr : you 're right . i 'm not happy . i have n't been for a while . langston : well , okay , look . cole told you not to wait for him , and you were so ready to move on before this whole thing happened with marty . starr : i 'm worried about hope . langston : cole is always gon na be her father . nothing 's ever gon na change that . and you 'll still take her to see him and call him and all that , but this way she has a chance at a normal life . what 's it gon na be like for her when she goes to school ? starr : i know exactly what it 's going to be like -- my dad was in prison for a long time , remember ? it sucks . langston : right , so at least if you 're happy , you can help her get through that . and if you get into a relationship with someone , you 'll have someone there that can help you take her to school and to her soccer practices and concerts . whatever she needs . starr : you 're right . langston : yeah . people split up all the time , not just because of jail . look at your parents . and they 're better off , and you 'll be better off , too . come on , you 're crazy about téa and dani . so try thinking about this as a good thing and stop beating yourself up just because you have feelings for james . starr : you 're right . i do like him . not that i really know where it 's going . langston : well , you 're never gon na find out if you do n't give it a shot . starr : you 're right . i 'm gon na go see cole today . i 'm going to tell him the good news about his mom and then i 'm going to tell him about james . [ scene_break ] natalie : what are you doing here ? jessica 's -- she 's just down the hall . you ca n't see her on the wedding day . brody : i know . i know . i waited till i saw her leave . i 'm here to see you . we have a problem . marty saybrooke 's getting better . [ scene_break ] starr : even if i did wait for cole , there 's no guarantee that we would make it . i mean , that 's 10 years . i 'll have graduated college . i could 've got my phd . langston : you 're both gon na change . starr : okay . so i have to be honest with him . right ? i mean , i want to be fair . langston : right . so when are you going to statesville ? starr : now . langston : okay . i 'm coming with you . starr : you will ? langston : you have to ask ? come on . it 's the right thing to do . starr : even if james has moved on . langston : well , he 's trying , but it 's not happening . starr : he 's with michelle . langston : oh , come on . they 're just friends . he told me so himself this morning . starr : really ? langston : yeah . so he 's all yours . if you want him . [ scene_break ] michelle : it 's because of starr , is n't it ? i know you 've both said there 's nothing going on , but i 've seen the way you look at each other . james : i care about her . but she 's sticking it out with cole , and i 'm not gon na be the other guy in that relationship . michelle : so ... ? james : so it was n't a mistake , okay ? [ scene_break ] [ knocking on door ] aubrey : any message from kelly ? cutter : no . aubrey : ugh . cutter : who was that guy ? aubrey : maintenance . he installed new thermostats the other day . why ? cutter : did n't really look like a maintenance guy . aubrey : he said they were installing them in all the rooms . he just stopped by to , i do n't know , check it or something . cutter : they did n't install any in my room . and he just walked past every door on the floor . where 's this thermostat ? aubrey : it 's right there . right there . cutter : this is n't a thermostat . it 's a camera . aubrey : oh , my god . cutter : we 've been busted . [ scene_break ] joey : the truth is , i 've noticed that i have certain feelings for you . i care about you , kelly . i always have . kelly : you do ? joey : yeah . so when rex said that i need to -- kelly : you need to what ? joey : it does n't matter . the fact is , i went over to la boulaie to talk to you . only you were with cutter . kelly : i do n't care about cutter . i was trying to get over you , because i had to . you 're marrying aubrey . and no matter how hard i have tried , i could n't find a good enough reason for you to dump her . so i kissed him . joey : it was bad timing . kelly : are you saying that if i got to london sooner or told you right away , that you would n't be marrying aubrey ? joey : yeah , but i am marrying aubrey . kelly : yeah . you are . you sure are . joey : yeah . janitor : what the hell is going on in here ? [ scene_break ] john : guess he really was nervous . john : yeah , this is lieutenant john mcbain . lpd . i want to check on a patient . marty saybrooke . [ scene_break ] brody : it sounds like marty had a lucid moment -- she told starr that she knows that liam is n't hers , that her baby died . natalie : and that 's all she remembered ? brody : for now , but who knows how long it 'll take her to remember that we slept together ? natalie , she already busted up your last wedding . she could be on her way to the church right now . natalie : but she 's in st. ann 's . brody : which is minimum security , and if she 's really doing so much better ? i 'm telling you , if she remembers , we have to tell jessica and john ourselves . now .

[ scene_break ] blair : so shaun and vivian took matters into their own hands . that 's a good thing . kelly : i do n't know how good it was . blair : are you kidding me ? it gave you a chance to tell joey how you really feel . right ? or did you get lemon in your eye again ?

[ scene_break ] charlie : you threw echo out ? why ? viki : echo has been pushing me to the limit for weeks , charlie . charlie : pushing you ? how ? viki : are you kidding ? i mean , are you really that blind ? she baits me all the time about you . she acts as if she owns you in a way that i never will because you two have a son . and normally , i ignore her and i keep my mouth shut . but last night , i 'd had enough . i told her to leave . charlie : you know something ? we 've talked about this before , that this is my house , too , now , and we 're supposed to decide these things together . viki : well , you were n't there , darling , were you ? and frankly , if you had been there and heard what she had said -- charlie : you know something ? this is not just about me . there are other people involved here . viki ! did you even think about them before you evicted rex 's mother ? before you evicted shane 's grandmother ? gigi : ahem .

[ scene_break ] john : hey , look . i know you were n't yourself the night you stopped the wedding . that 's why you knocked natalie out and drove her up to the lodge . marty : no . that 's wrong . john : what 's wrong ? marty , i think you just -- you 're confused . when natalie had the baby ... you thought the baby was yours . marty : yes . but no , that 's -- not what happened . natalie knocked me out . natalie -- natalie drove to the lodge . natalie had the gun . john : it may seem like that now -- marty : no , no . this part i remember . she trapped me there . she was gon na leave me there . john : why would she do that ? marty : because she did n't want me to tell you . john : tell me what ? marty : about the baby . [ scene_break ] brody : jessica , i am so sorry . jessica : you know that it 's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding ! i mean , look at what happened to natalie . she let john see her before their first ceremony and marty stopped the wedding . natalie : okay , but that was different . you have nothing to worry about . jessica : i know it 's just superstition , but -- natalie : but that is only if the bride is wearing her wedding dress . and you are not . jessica : you 're right . natalie : so everybody just relax , okay ? everything 's gon na be fine as long as brody here lets you get ready . jessica : but brody , why are you even here ? [ scene_break ] viki : rex . gigi . i 'm sorry . i did not want you to find out about echo that way . rex : what happened ? charlie : i 've been trying to get an answer to that question myself . viki : okay . it all started when dorian came by with the news about the second dna test . charlie : what test ? viki : okay . rex suspected that clint had tampered with the first dna test , so he had another one done . charlie : you think that clint would do something like that ? [ scene_break ] bo : i 'm not gon na frisk you . i was hoping that we could call a truce . clint : a truce ? bo : yeah . i just want to enjoy your daughters ' weddings , and i figured that you wanted to do the same , so what do you say , clint ? can we make peace for the day ? [ scene_break ] rama : do n't you see ? if you do the right thing , it will accomplish more than just easing your conscience . it 'll earn you the respect of every member of the buchanan family . they 'll be grateful to you , vimal . grateful for the truth .

[ scene_break ] cristian : so if téa did n't kill this lady , who did ? talia : i -- you know , it took place at manning 's house , and manning was the one with the clearest motive , so -- antonio : look , it -- it could be that téa was just trying to protect her client . cristian : so why are n't you arresting him ? talia : we do n't have any proof . antonio : forensics is all over this , okay ? and if there 's someone out there other than téa that killed lee halpern , we 'll find her . [ scene_break ] blair : that 's right , i 'm with john mcbain -- so what ? téa : i wonder how he 'd feel if he knew how concerned you were about todd . blair : oh , i 'm not concerned about todd . i do n't give a damn about todd manning . téa : just where he spends the night . blair : what i care about are my children . i have a restraining order against todd . téa : is that really necessary , blair ? blair : yeah , it sure is when you 're in his life . and i 'll tell you this much -- if you even think about my daughter again , you 'll be sorry that you did . téa : i dare you -- hit me . come on . blair : téa , why do n't you just crawl back under that rock you 've been hiding under ? because nobody wants you here . téa : you know , for someone who does n't give a damn about her ex - husband , you spend an awful lot of time worrying about him . blair : i do n't have a choice . téa : maybe so . if i were you , i 'd be more worried about my current boyfriend and how much energy he expends on his ex - girlfriend . [ scene_break ] john : it 's going to be okay . marty : i ca n't even think straight . john : you had a hell of a day . marty : i ca n't believe todd . i ca n't believe he finally admitted everything . john : a little too late after the judge lets him off the hook . marty : all that time saying how much he loved me and how he thought i loved him , too . he finally tells the truth . john : it 's over now . try and move on . marty : how ? with you ? [ scene_break ] rex : why do n't you want to get married to me ? gigi : oh , it 's not about you . it 's just when i was little and i would dream about my wedding , i always pictured my dad giving me away . rex : so you do n't think he 'll want to come ? [ gigi sighs ] gigi : rex , the last time i saw my dad was when he kicked me out of the house for getting pregnant . rex : what ? gigi : yeah , so somehow i do n't see him and my mom sitting down with a wedding planner any time soon . rex : i 'm sorry . gigi : sorry about what ? rex : you did n't get pregnant by yourself . it 's my fault you lost your family . gigi : you 're my family now , and shane . rex : well , you 're okay with never seeing them again ? gigi : yes , i wish shane could know his grandparents , but i do n't think they 're ever going to forgive me for -- what was it ? bringing shame and disgrace to the family . rex : you ? what about them ? they turned their backs on you when you needed them the most . gigi : i know . rex : how can you forgive them for that ? gigi : well , it does n't look like i 'll ever have the chance to find out . rex : well , things are going to be different for shane . he 's going to have one thing that we did n't . gigi : a z - box ? rex : parents who will be there , no matter what . [ scene_break ] lola : what kind of knife did the killer use ? layla : i thought this was supposed to be a birthday party . lola : sorry . antonio : it 's okay . lola : my -- my mother died the same way , a knife to the heart . vanessa : we 've agreed not to talk about this , remember ? lola : why ca n't i talk about it ? vanessa : because it upsets you . lola : of course it upsets me -- my mother was stabbed to death . vanessa : your father killed her ! cristian : hey , hey . vanessa : excuse me . talia : okay . maybe we should n't talk about this anymore . cristian : lola 's the one that found the murder weapon , after her father killed her mother . layla : nice of vanessa to yell at her . cristian : vanessa cares about lola very much , layla . layla : not everyone 's good with kids . sarah was . she knew a million ways to make them laugh . i spoke to her yesterday , by the way . talia : you did ? layla : mm - hmm . talia : i miss her . how is she ? layla : she 's great . she loves being with the band , she does n't miss llanview -- and she 's over you . talia : okay , so does anybody else want some of my cake ? layla : you know , i was worried about her making the adjustment . it 's hard for people to move on , like when you were with evangeline ? talia : layla . layla : no . he was upfront with sarah . he told her how he could n't move on until he knew that evangeline would never come back to him . cristian : do n't do this . layla : you learned from your mistakes , huh ? as soon as vanessa came along , you dropped sarah like a hot potato . talia : fish , hi . what 's up , bub ? ofc . fish : hey , talia . talia : hi . antonio : hey , fish . talia : thanks for coming to my birthday . i did n't -- i did n't know layla had invited you . ofc . fish : uh -- birthday ? talia : yeah . ofc . fish : no , i 'm actually -- i 'm here to see mcbain . does anyone know where he is ? [ scene_break ] marty : i should n't have said that -- i 'm sorry . i ca n't move on . thanks to todd , i ca n't even have a normal relationship with my own son , my friends , not you -- not anyone . john : manning confessed today . maybe now you can have some sense of closure . marty : `` closure . `` his confession does n't change what he did . he still convinced me that he was the only one that could help me , used me to try and steal my own son 's baby . he raped me . john : manning 's got to live the rest of his life knowing exactly what he is . that 's his punishment . marty : no , i want him dead . john : no , you do n't . that 's not you . marty : well , i guess i 'll never know , will i , because you saved him . why would you do that ? john : i saved him for you . marty : and that only makes it worse .

[ scene_break ] jessica : i do n't know if brody could 've handled raising another man 's child . i know what he said , but it 's a lot easier when it 's an idea , not something you have to live with every day . viki : i think he would 've risen to the occasion . jessica : well , i 'm glad he did n't have to . viki : oh , me , too . ha ha ! jessica : i 've never had this before . viki : had what ? jessica : well , you know , a big day , a big step , a wedding -- a wedding without , you know , anything to be afraid of , any loose ends , any problems , anyone to be afraid of , you know ? it 's just fun . viki : and i think it 's all the more special because of how hard you worked to get to this place . jessica : yeah . i like this place . ha ! i do n't think anything could make it any better . viki : i do . turn around . jessica : oh , my goodness , you look perfect . come here , sweetie . oh , you have officially just made this the best day ever .

[ scene_break ] john : you know , natalie has n't always been honest with me in the past . pete : you ever cut corners on the truth with her ? i hear a yes . john : to protect her or for work . and i know she 's gon na say she has good reasons to keep things from me . pete : so what 's your beef ? john : i do n't have one . pete : you love her , but ? john : i do n't know . pete : well , i know . john : what ? pete : you took some big hits here , john . you lost your father . you lost caitlin . john : i made my peace , pete . i found their killers . i got them justice . pete : yes , you did , and then nothing was wrong . am i right ? you loved natalie . she gave you a son , who 'll look like her if he 's lucky . and all is well . john : yeah . pete : only you 're looking for ways not to be happy .

[ scene_break ] starr : it 's not that i do n't want to be with james . i do . it 's just that i have to talk to cole about it first . it would n't be fair to him or anybody . langston : you do n't want to hurt him . i get that . starr : it 's more than that . and i know that you probably thought that we were going to break up before cole got arrested , but i do n't believe that . because i know that couples go through tough times and they stay together because they love each other so much that they know that it can be the way it used to be or that they could even find something better . langston : i 'm not saying it would n't be a loss . i mean , you and cole , you had something really great . but the reality is , starr , he 's in prison . starr : that 's what makes me feel so guilty . [ door opens ] starr : yeah , i know . he wants me to have a life , and that i owe it to my daughter , which i know that i do , but what 's going to happen to cole ? look at this place , langston . it 's depressing . langston : he 's being punished , starr . he killed someone . starr : but he 's not going to be in here forever . and i just want him to be okay when he gets out . but if he has nothing to look forward to , nothing to keep him going ... he shot eli because he thought that he lost me . what 's gon na happen if i leave him ?

[ scene_break ] rex : i do n't know if david and dorian got married . the truth is i lost them . bo : you said you had a lead . they were headed for las vegas . rex : oh , someone went to vegas , just was n't dorian . viki : david told me she gave her house away . i did n't believe him . she gave you la boulaie ? moe : lock , stock , and barrel . she even signed a contract in quadruplicate . viki : why ? i mean , not that you do n't deserve it . i 'm sure you did wonders in the kitchen . moe : well , it had nothing to do with me . it was all about dorian . she needed to divest herself of all her money if she was going to get david . noelle : who 's a buddhist these days . viki : so i 've noticed , yeah . moe : guess i was just in the right place at the right time . noelle : i still do n't think she really means it . moe : it does n't matter . we 've got an ironclad contract . noelle : i know , but i see her looking when i put on her things . she gets all tight around the mouth . viki : does she . moe : do n't overthink it , noelle . the woman 's got a lech for a man who 's sworn off money . that 's all you need to know . besides , dorian 's stuff -- you look so much better in it than she ever did . viki : yeah , that 's quite an outfit , noelle ortiz . noelle : actually , it 's noelle stubbs . viki : what ? moe : that 's right . we got hitched . [ scene_break ] rex : so after this wild goose chase to las vegas where i check every frickin ' chapel in clark county , i track david and dorian to this ashram in the desert , where nobody would confirm with me if they had been there or if there had been a ceremony . forget about where they went . they just disappeared . they 're not at her house or , well , what used to be her house . and no one has seen them . so no bonus . you know , i blew it . and i truly am sorry . and if you want me to resign from the case , just say the word . [ scene_break ] david : we know what we know , dorian . and you never miss a trick . last year when you were trying to take over b.e . , you used the fact that jared was posing as asa 's son and you exposed him as a fraud . dorian : you might even say that i did them a favor . david : you might , but i doubt they would . dorian : well , you can rest easy , david , because as far as i know there is no one posing as the buchanan heir . david : that 's true . no one can find him , poor guy . imagine not knowing that you 're a billionaire . [ both chuckle ] david : although who knows ? maybe the guy 's above all that . dorian : i certainly hope so . david : dorian , if you 're truly over the buchanan billions , why ca n't we let people know that we 're married ? i love you , dorian . i want everyone to know . dorian : and so do i , darling . we just have to pick the perfect time . and you will be happy to know that i have it all planned out . [ scene_break ] brody : anyway , when i got back to the states i basically crawled into a bottle , trying to blot it all out . and then i caught up with this woman who i had known before i shipped out , and spent a couple of months pretending to be a family . i was pretending . she knew the score . but i would n't let it go . i lied to her , i lied to her son . i did some really bad things because i was , i do n't know , trying to hold onto something that was never mine . then i ended up here , fresh out of lies . it was just me , and i was never enough . so nice as this place is , i was going down for the count , until jessica kind of reached out to me . and anyway i was n't afraid to tell her the truth . and she 'd just hear it , no comment , no judgment . just let it in . i ca n't tell you what that meant . barb : speak of the devil . jessica , you here to stay ? [ scene_break ] bo : well , i got word that pa 's lawyer , his name 's beaver calhoun , he left tibet . for all i know he 's probably on his way here right now to tell vickers that he 's pa 's son . now , i think we ought to do a little damage control before he shows up . stay on it , balsom . [ scene_break ] gigi : i just ca n't believe this , roxy . i told you not to touch his hair . roxy : excuse me , do n't you remember ? you came to the store and you asked me to give him a cut ? gigi : a trim , and he would n't even let you touch it , remember ? what did you do to him , threaten to take away his z - box ? roxy : well , for your information , he 's the one who came to me . he wanted the cut . gigi : he asked you to do this to him ? roxy : yeah , because he wanted to look like his dad . so i gave him `` the rex . `` well , you know , i 'm going to go to my store , because someone wants a make- over . at least someone trusts me . kiddo , you look fabulous . and next time , you 're getting that tattoo . gigi : well , thanks for taking care of him . shane : do n't be mad , mom . i was just trying to make grandma happy . besides , i like it . it 's cool , kind of like dad . [ scene_break ] viki : congratulations , moe . well , you got yourself a four - star wife . moe : do n't i know it . viki : oh , i wish i had been there . i mean , after all the fights and the pies and the move , i was looking forward to the wedding . noelle : i know . we wanted a big hoopty - do with all our friends , but then i got scared serious by this psychic who told me that money was going to ruin it for moe and me . so we eloped . moe : we 're going to have a big blow - out to celebrate , do n't you worry . viki : count me in , please . noelle : so you 're looking for dorian . viki : yeah , i agreed to co - chair the go red ball with her , which is tonight . and of course she has n't lifted a finger to help . much too busy chasing after david . is she here ? moe : have n't seen her . the last time i saw her she was making goo - goo eyes at vickers and we left for vegas and have n't seen her since . viki : well , who knows ? you may not be the only newlyweds in town . [ scene_break ] dorian : i just want everything to be perfect when we announce our co - mingling . david : perfection is achieved only after we stop striving for it . dorian : you 're right . i 'm just not sure your good friend viki would agree . [ scene_break ] rex : well , i 'm not sure i deserve the vote of confidence , although i appreciate it . i will do my best to stop dorian . bo : balsom . you know that annual fundraiser for the american heart association , the go red for women ball ? dorian is co - chair of that . rex : that 's tonight . thanks . [ scene_break ] dorian : i promised viki that i would co - chair the go red ball with her . she 's your good friend . and besides , it 's a charitable event . how would it look if we put finding our happiness ahead of fighting heart disease ? [ scene_break ] bo : we 're all going to be there , form sort of a united front . we want you on board , balsom . [ scene_break ] dorian : besides , what better venue for announcing our wonderful news ? the go red ball brings out all of llanview 's most spiritual people . [ scene_break ] bo : i 'll get you the tickets , you get a tux . bring gigi , too . keep an eye on dorian . rex : okay , you 're sure she 'll be there ? bo : what , dorian lord miss a black tie shindig ? no . rex : yeah , but this is the new dorian , the give away your mansion and roll out the tatami mats dorian . bo : there 's no such animal . rex : yeah , i did n't think so . i 'll be there . and bo -- bo : balsom , you 're welcome . [ scene_break ] dorian : so if you do n't want to go , i can cancel . i just have to explain things to viki . david : no , you 're right . we should go . it 's a worthy cause . besides , i want to see the happiness on everyone 's face when we tell them that we 're married . dorian : oh , wonderful . so we do n't have to walk the ten miles to the zen center . we can stay here in town and you agree that we wo n't tell a soul that we 're married ? david : you 've got a deal , nightingale . dorian : oh , good , david . and i promise you , after tonight i will do whatever you wish . because , david , i love you . i really do . david : i really do love you , too .

[ scene_break ] clint : so how are you and your sister getting along ? jared : oh , it 's going pretty well , i think . i mean , i 'm just an observer , but i think we 're all glad that jessica 's home . you know , for the kids ' sake . clint : yeah , she 's been through hell . you all have , but thank god , we 're putting this family back together again . i 'll be damned if i let dorian rip it apart .

[ dorian rings bell ] roxy : groovy , sign in . penthouse , i presume ? dorian : absolutely . david : absolutely not . only in austerity will we be rich . roxy : say what ? david : we 'll take your smallest room . roxy : whatever floats your boat . dorian : oh , david , dear , why do n't you go upstairs to our room and have a nice meditation ? i need to go out and run some errands for the go red ball . david : i love you , lemon balm . dorian : i love you more . roxy : yo , commando , you 've got to sign in . roxy : i thought you gave up all your money , dorian . dorian : listen up , roxy . no one , and i do mean no one , is to know that david is here . do you understand me ? no one . roxy : now , that 's the dorian that i know and love . [ scene_break ] brody : maybe your sister just needs you to hear how she feels . jessica : i do n't blame her for hating me , and for not being able to trust me . i 'm just really grateful that she was able to take care of my girls . they love her , you know . you should see bree . every time she enters the room , she just lights up . it hurts . i think it was easier being crazy in here with you . brody : anything i can do ? jessica : oh , you 're doing it . natalie and i had this really , really big fight . she told me that she was more of a mother to bree and chloe than i ever was , and the thing is , she 's right . she 's right . i 've been away for so long , and before that , i was so out of control . bree looks at me like she 's afraid of me , and the baby -- she does n't even know who i am . [ scene_break ] starr : my dad never mentioned your mom . none of this was her fault .

[ cole slams locker ] cole : all of it . markko : hey , i thought you were talking to starr ? langston : well , i tried , but she blew me off for mr. j . [ scene_break ] starr : the only person that could have testified about what happened to hope is the nurse who took her out of the delivery room . schuyler : right , the woman who was working for your father . starr : yeah , and she 's dead . [ scene_break ] gigi : you know , i love your mom , but this is ridiculous . i mean , we were gone for one day . can you imagine if we went away for a week ? rex : she 'd pierce his nose . [ rex chuckles ] rex : which she 'd never do . here . gigi : what is that ? rex : well , the buchanans were n't exactly thrilled that i lost david and dorian , but they 're giving me another chance . gigi : that 's great . rex : only it means we have to go to the go red ball -- tonight . gigi : tonight ? the only thing i own red is pajamas . rex : not anymore . i saw dorian 's car parked in logan 's parking lot . i ran in . she was n't there , but i found -- gigi : oh , my god . it 's gorgeous . we ca n't afford this . rex : expense account . the buchanans insisted we go to the ball . gigi : really ? rex : oh , no , it 's like a command performance . gigi : oh , my god , i am so loving your job . [ gigi squeals ] gigi : oh , my god . you 're the best , you know that ? [ scene_break ] david : roxy , we wo n't be needing these . roxy : well , maybe you wo n't be needing them , but from my personal experience , dorian goes through these towels like they 're kleenex . david : dorian has changed . and we both agree that it 's immoral to sleep on the feathers of our avian brothers . roxy : oh , really ? it 's fiberfill . david : oh . namaste . roxy : namas- -- whatever . [ bell rings ] beaver : morning , ma'am . name 's beaver calhoun . roxy : oh , i just love a guy who 's named after a buck - toothed rodent . beaver : have you seen this fellow ? [ scene_break ] viki : david came to me for advice . of course , i told him he 'd be an idiot to marry her . but then he looked so hurt , so i kind of backed off and tried to be diplomatic , so i 'm sure my point got lost . you know , david , i think , is truly trying to change , and i just would hate to see him get hitched to that lying , scheming , avaricious woman . dorian : oh , do go on , viki . and on and on and on . hello . i do believe you 're looking for me . viki : dorian , i 'm sorry . it was not polite of me to malign you in your own foyer . moe : my foyer . noelle : but dorian 's always welcome . dorian : i am most certainly not going to sink to your level , viki . on the path to enlightenment , one always allows others to make their own mistakes . viki : so david was right , you converted ? dorian : i am transformed . viki : and did david give you an answer to your proposal ? viki : yes , he did . i assume you 're here about the ball ? is there anything left to be done ? [ scene_break ] gigi : john better let me out early . i need time to fix up for the go red ball . rex : well , if he fires you , there 's always your other gig . gigi : what other gig ? rex : stripping in vegas . gigi : oh , funny . it is weird though -- the first place we stop , we see a sign with a stripper named gigi on it . rex : think about if you had been named ethel , or gertrude , or midge . here she is , boys , straight from the heartland , and dying to take it off -- midge ! gigi : you should n't fly , rex . it messes with your brain . rex : well , we 're home now , and you can go to work , and i will try to find david and dorian so they do n't wreck this party tonight . gigi : you can do it . i have faith in you , balsom . rex : yeah ? gigi : yeah . but if you 're going to drop me , we better get a move on , because if i 'm leaving early , i do n't want to be late . [ scene_break ] viki : is there anything left to be done for the ball ? no , nothing , absolutely nothing . since you did the absolutely nothing part , i did the everything part . dorian : how enlightened of you . noelle , since i have given you everything that i own , i wonder , could i please borrow something red to wear to the ball tonight ? noelle : of course , dorian . what 's mine is yours . dorian : true . noelle : just go on ahead up , and do n't mind the mess . dorian : viki , thank you so much for what you 've done . i 'm really looking forward to tonight .

[ scene_break ] schuyler : so how did it feel , i mean , hearing your father confess ? starr : i 'm glad my dad did it , for cole and his mom . schuyler : yeah , i mean , but that 's not going to change anything . your father still did what he did , and my mom is still gone . i 'm not going to get over that . i know you 're not going to get over losing a baby , but maybe we can start to heal . [ scene_break ] brody : you 've got to give yourself a little time . you just moved home , okay , and chloe 's a baby , so what does she know ? jessica : no , it 's not the baby , it 's me . i look at her , and , god , i do n't want to say it . i do n't feel like her mother . [ scene_break ] schuyler : maybe we can start to move on . starr : i do n't think i can . yesterday i held my cousin 's little girl . she was born on the same day that hope was . and i do n't know -- ever since that day , i have n't been able to stop thinking about my baby . [ next_on ] rex : if we do n't do something fast , the buchanans are toast . jessica : the only people that i can talk to are dr. levin and you . starr : when i held chloe , i felt something so strong . gigi : where 's my dress ?

stacy is ready to give birth to her baby for real . and gigi delivers it for her . at that point , it appears the two sisters might have reconciled their differences at least for now . but right then , it appears that there is something wrong with t the baby and they can not get her medical care while stranded up in the cabin . meanwhile , after rex finds out that stacy scammed that she was pregnant with his child when she knew it would have to be schuyler 's , rex is ready to kill schuyler for what he did . he admits he 's glad to be able to wash his hands of stacy and declares he wants to get gigi back , assuming he can after she finds out what schuyler did and that he ( himself ) did not impregnate her sister . oliver is also worried about stacy along with schuyler although he does not tell either him or rex the reason why . charlie goes to shoot mitch but the bullet accidentally hits jessica . everybody back in llanview is still wondering what to do with all of the missing people on llantano mountain .

[ scene_break ] marty : whoa , not so fast . now we 're talking . hey . what 's wrong ? relax , relax . what , you 've never crashed a party before ? wes : it 's not that . marty : well , what is it ? wes : i 'm just wondering how long you 're going to keep putting on this show for john . [ scene_break ] blair : well , are you going to do something about this , john ? john : what do you want me to do ? you want me to go wrestle her for the tickets ? téa : ooh , i 'd pay to see that . hey , where you going ? todd : i 'm going home . téa : no way . i won you fair and square . todd : téa , i do n't want to stay here and watch marty make a fool of herself with that guy . téa : well , i do n't want to pay taxes , but grownups do what we have to do . and unless you 've become a welcher , you owe me the `` go red `` ball . [ todd sighs ] blair : aw , look at todd . this might actually almost be worth it . [ blair chuckles ] john : yeah , yeah . two tickets , please . [ scene_break ] david : this is amazing . i lost my brother spencer , but i have gained two new brothers -- and nora , an ex - sister - in - law , and natalie , a niece . natalie : yippee . david : but -- how can this be possible ? beaver : well , it seems that your mama , emma bradley , had two different liaisons with asa . one was before your brother was born and the second one was nine months before you were born . david : so that means spencer -- beaver : is ned truman 's child , but you are asa 's boy . david : asa 's boy . i am a buchanan . and i have a family . dorian : i 'm just curious , mr. calhoun . asa 's been dead for a year , and if as you say he told you himself that david was his son , why have you waited so long to come forward and why now , mr. calhoun ? beaver : well , i think i 'll let asa explain that . now , i believe this hotel has a conference room ? dorian : right down the hall . come on , darling . do n't you want answers ? come . viki : you knew . did n't you ? you all knew . this is unbelievable . david is your brother . he 's ben 's brother . he 's my brother - in - law . charlie : i know there 's a lot to take in , but if i were you , i 'd go see what that guy is up to . viki : who , david ? charlie : no , the lawyer . i mean , like dorian said , he has got a reason for being here and my guess is that reason is money . viki : of course it is -- the estate . charlie : yeah , and with joey and kevin in london -- viki : and clint , who was obviously very well aware of the situation and still unable to control it . thank you , darling . thank you , charlie . are n't you coming ? charlie : no , i really do n't want to intrude . viki : charlie , please . please , i need you . [ scene_break ] gigi : so – guard : ma'am ? gigi : when did you get here ? guard : the woman behind the desk says you did n't pay . rex : oh , that 's -- that 's my fault . i -- i left a ticket out for her , but her sister got here first . it 's a -- it 's a misunderstanding . please tell the lady sorry and , well , this should cover the cost of the additional ticket . we good ? guard : enjoy your evening . gigi : thank you . rex : hey , it 's not every day you get to party with the sister you have n't seen in 10 years . i ca n't believe i did n't recognize you .

[ stacy chuckles ] gigi : 10 years ? stacy : almost . you look great , by the way . gigi : so do you , especially in my dress . rex : i knew it was the same dress . gigi : rex , it 's not the same dress . it 's my dress , the one that you bought for me to wear tonight . stacy : she always hated it when i borrowed her clothes . gigi : you never borrowed my clothes , you would just take them without asking and you 're still doing it . i ca n't believe you stole my dress and my ticket . i -- i do n't -- i do n't get it . do n't get me wrong . i 'm -- i 'm happy to see you , but what is this ? [ scene_break ] todd : well -- [ téa chuckles ] téa : hmm . todd : i 'm not going to do this sober . téa : oh , whatever gets you through the night . [ scene_break ] stacy : i just wanted to surprise you . gigi : you could 've surprised me at home . what did you do , break into my house ? stacy : you have a key taped on the bottom of your mailbox just like mom did . gigi : why did n't you just wait for me ? stacy : i did , but then when you did n't come home , i saw the dress and the ticket , so -- gigi : and you thought you would just take them . stacy : well , i figured i 'd find you here , so let 's just find some place a little less crowded and celebrate . rex : no clue , seriously . the last time i saw your sister was like -- gigi : braces and zits and -- she 's all grown up now . rex : listen , do n't be ticked about the dress -- be happy . gigi : okay . my sister -- my sister 's here .

[ scene_break ] gigi : so start from the beginning , please . how did you find me ? stacy : i saw you guys in vegas . gigi : in vegas ? well , uh -- when ? i -- i did n't see you . rex : i do n't believe it -- you 're gigi . gigi : what ? rex : the stripper on the poster in the lobby . [ stacy chuckles ] rex : in the casino , that was stacy -- but with brown hair . stacy : it was a wig . gigi : you are not a stripper . stacy : an exotic dancer , and , yes , i was the best -- only i quit . gigi : okay , so you were stripping . and you were using my name . gigi : your stripper name is gigi . [ stacy chuckles ] rex : now , i thought your stripper name was the name of your first pet and the first street you lived on . gigi and stacy : cookie delancey . stacy : you know , i could n't do that one . you know , it 's a tough world , so i wanted to pick a name that made me feel safe -- my sister , gigi , and her big , beautiful brown hair . hey , i 've missed you . gigi : i missed you so much -- so much . oh , god , that 's why you 're so skinny and gorgeous -- because of all that dancing . we 'll talk about the exotic part later . please tell me you kept most of your clothes on . stacy : oh , please . i did n't meet the sucker that could afford these babies . rex : not exactly the answer you were looking for . stacy : relax , okay ? no one got a peek . gigi : right . so what happened , because i did n't see you . stacy : well -- okay . so i was on my way to my first show that day and i saw you guys , but i figured it could n't have been you -- what were the odds ? so i stood there for a while and i realized it was you . but then , i turned around and then you guys were out the door , so i took off after you , but i was in spikes and i got on my coat , ran out the door , and you guys were already off in a cab . so i hopped in a cab , followed you to the airport , and i lost you again . gigi : we went straight to the gate . stacy : and i had no idea where you guys were going to go , so i found this helpful ticket agent who helped me track you down . i guess it did n't hurt that i had my costume on underneath my raincoat . [ stacy chuckles ] stacy : so , i booked a ticket on the next plane , found out your address online , checked out your love nest , dress , ticket -- here i am . bottoms up . [ scene_break ] blair : oh , would you look at noelle ? she looks so happy -- having so much fun . oh , i think i 'm going to go get a drink . todd : excuse me . i think i ordered a double . this does n't look like even a single . blair : what 's going on , todd ? todd : you do n't care , huh ? blair : celebrating your freedom or is this just a new way to relieve stress ? todd : what stress ? blair : i do n't know . watching marty over there with that little -- todd : thank you . blair : rough piece of trade she picked up ? oh , thank you . what gets to you more -- john and me together or marty and her little boy toy ? todd : what about you , blair ? blair : hmm . todd : what gets under your skin ? the fact that john ca n't take his eyes off marty -- thank you -- or the fact that téa 's with me ?

[ scene_break ] blair : can you handle it ? you ca n't even – [ scene_break ] téa : hola . oy , que linda que estas . how are the newlyweds , huh ? [ scene_break ] beaver : and that 's all she wrote . your daddy left this d.v.d . as a codicil to his last will and testament , and before you ask , it 's the real mccoy -- bonded and accredited . now , as to the terms , due to last year 's downturn and the losses incurred by b.e . , asa has cut his family out of the will and left his entire estate -- his house , his money , and his company , all of it -- to you , david . viki : okay . now this all makes sense . [ scene_break ] talia : do n't you look lovely for a murder suspect . téa : oh . come on , talia . you and i both know that lee halpern was violent and dangerous . she came at me , gorgeous , the same way she came at you . luckily , i was tough enough to be able to disarm her and defend myself . someday , you 'll learn how to do that , too . [ talia chuckles ] téa : where 's lola ? vanessa : at home with her cousin , langston . téa : oh . i was hoping we could all have dinner together . hmm ?

[ scene_break ] dorian : david , are you all right ? huh . this is quite a lot to take in . you have found your family and inherited a huge fortune . but it 's all good . you 're going to get the company , the house , all the assets -- everything is yours . natalie : you know , i am sure uncle david is extremely overwhelmed -- i know i am . i mean , you 've just become a buddhist , which is totally cool . but buddhists -- they are n't interested in money or corporations . you know , if grandpa were alive , i know he would be so proud of you . jared : yes , asa was a -- a generous man -- ahem . i 'm sure he knew he could count on you to do the right thing . dorian : all right , can we just stop this right here ? thank you very much . i really think it 's inappropriate to try and get david to divest of something he has n't even had the time to itemize . clint : no , he 's got you for that , does n't he ? dorian : yes , he most certainly does , because i am his wife . frankly , i think we should all be applauding david . he 's just been told that he 's inherited a huge fortune and he 's accepting it with grace and humility . so i think it 's really inappropriate for you to pressure him to give up something that you lost due to your own inadequacy . bo : and what are you pressuring him to do , dorian ? [ scene_break ] gigi : i ca n't believe you 're here . stacy : you 've said that . although , i 'm starting to get the feeling you 're not happy to see me . gigi : oh , no , no . i 'm thrilled to see you . are you kidding ? i 've missed you , like , so much . after i had the baby , i thought that i could finally come home , that once mom and dad saw shane , they 'd -- you know , they 'd forgive me . but when i came back to michigan , you guys -- guys were gone . you had moved and no one -- no one even tried to find me and let me know . it was the worst moment of my life . stacy : yeah , well , believe me , dad was no picnic to live with after you took off . gigi : i did n't take off . stacy , they threw me out on the street because i got pregnant . [ scene_break ] michael : it was wonderful to meet you , hope . hope : nice to meet you , too . michael : and i would really love to get together with you guys sometime , but we -- i have an early call tomorrow , so -- leon : understood . i 'll see you in the morning ? michael : all right . good to see you . leon : nice to meet you , marcie . marcie : oh , yes . nice to meet you -- both of you , yeah . marcie : i thought you had tomorrow morning off , michael . michael : i do . marcie : you saw how i reacted , did n't you ? i 'm sorry . i -- i did n't mean to react that way , michael . michael : no , sweetie , sweetie -- marcie : it 's just that i did n't expect -- michael : it 's fine , it 's fine . marcie : i just kept looking at her , staring at her , thinking `` here 's this grown woman . her name is hope , she 's living her life . `` my baby never got that chance . michael : let 's get out of here . [ scene_break ] marty : i thought you understood . wes : what , that you had a thing for manning ? and now you have a thing for mcbain or you might not or you do n't know ? marty : you know what ? do n't be mean . wes : look -- hey . i know you , probably better than anybody else in this room , okay , at least who you are now . i see it every day . look , i care about you , marty . i think you know that . and whatever it is that you and i have , it -- it works for us . but i 'm not going to stand here and let you embarrass yourself or me . marty : oh -- i was n't trying to embarrass you . wes : look , i know you were n't , okay , but this little game you 're playing -- using me to torture manning and provoke mcbain -- it 's getting old . marty : and i 'm getting a drink . wes : wait , wait – [ scene_break ] téa : you 're a good dancer . john : you want to tell me what this is all about ? [ téa chuckles ] téa : well , ca n't a lady ask a gentleman to dance ? oh , you do n't believe me , john ? well , you 're right -- i 'm not making a play for you . you 're not my type . but since i have your attention , i want to know something . john : hmm ? téa : you were there on the day that vanessa shot ray montez at the airport . right ? and there she is laughing and smiling and dancing while ray is in prison in colombia . do you think that 's fair ? john : huh . téa : hmm ? john : hey , you know , you want someone to waltz you over there so you do n't have to read lips ? why me ? téa : because todd is doing shots . john : hey , you know what ? just corner vanessa in the bathroom and ask her what you want to know . téa : it 's complicated . john : yeah ? téa : hmm . john : what 'd she do to you ? téa : not a thing , but she did something to one of my clients . and as you know , i 'm passionate when it comes to defending my clients . john : hmm . téa : this is the part where you ask me if i 'm covering for todd , hmm ? was i lying when i claimed that i killed lee halpern in self - defense ? john : were you ? [ scene_break ] todd : i would n't worry about it . he 's not her type . blair : and you are ? todd : i 'm not seeing téa . blair : huh . yeah , that 's right -- yet . just wondering what she 's doing with my date . todd : did it ever occur to you not everything in the world is about you ? blair : oh , todd , thank you so much for that enlightenment . you know what i 'm going to do ? todd : what are you going to do ? blair : i 'm going to take your little lawyer friend there , i 'm going to back her up against a window and see if she falls out . todd : wait , wait a minute . i got a better idea . blair : and what would that be ? todd : want to dance ? [ blair chuckles ] blair : we could do the horizontal mambo right here on the dance floor , and pretty little marty saybrooke would n't notice because she 's all hooked up with that wes guy . todd : his name 's wes ? blair : his name 's wes , wesley granger . former navy seal . nice little hot body . todd : oh , he does have a nice body . blair : and let me tell you something . when i walked past their room , yep , from the sound of it , he 's tireless . [ blair chuckles ] [ scene_break ] marty : what ? wes : i 'm not going to fight with you . you 're forgiven . marty : i just got all wound up listening to roxy talk about john and me . wes : babe , you 're always wound up . marty : that 's true . i 'm sorry . wes : it 's cool . we 're friends , remember ? marty : right , and friends do n't let friends make asses of themselves . wes : not when they can help it . [ scene_break ] téa : are you working for antonio , trying to nail todd ? john : did he kill lee halpern ? téa : no . john : you know this for a fact ? téa : i killed lee halpern and it was in self - defense . john : you stabbed a woman in the heart with a kitchen knife with enough force to go through her sternum . you know , most people , that 'd set them back for a while , but here you are , apparently the life of the party . téa : i 'm not most people . [ scene_break ] stacy : right , i knew you had gotten knocked up because dad was just , like , beyond furious . gigi : he told me to get the hell out . he did n't even give me any time to figure out what to do or -- or pack or anything . mom came running out into the yard , and she gave me all the money in her purse , 40 bucks and that was it . stacy : so then you came back , and we were n't there . is that when you came here ? gigi : no , i -- i ended up in texas , and i got a job , and i started raising my kid . rex : who 's the best , by the way . stacy : yeah , he 's totally adorable . gigi : how would you know that ? you 've never even met him . [ scene_break ] dorian : i would never pressure my husband . bo : and how long have you and the buchanan heir been married , dorian ? dorian : soul mates do n't have a timeline . nora : so then why bother to make it legal now ? i mean , he 'd just become a buddhist . you had to sign over all of your things just to persuade him so -- well , unless of course you had a vested interest . dorian : of course i have a vested interest . i 'm his wife . i 'm very interested in making sure my husband 's interests are protected . and obviously , all of you were trying to hide the truth about his paternity from him so that you could steal his inheritance . clint : dorian , nobody stole anything . dorian : oh , really ? then why is he only finding out the news now ? viki : well , now , that 's a very good question , dorian . david : i have made a decision . [ scene_break ] marcie : michael , i am so sorry . i -- we really could 've stayed at that party . you know , i 'm really okay , it just threw me . i mean , her name threw me -- michael : i did n't bring you home because you were upset . marcie : not that i mind , but where did that come from ? michael : it 's good to know that i can still surprise you . marcie : mike -- what is it ? michael : for valentine 's day . marcie : michael , it 's beautiful . what kind of stone is that ? i 've never seen it before . michael : it 's yellow topaz . it 's hope 's birthstone . michael : i know that you and i -- we had different ideas about this baby . but i want you to know that i honor her , and i know how much you loved her . and i do n't want you to feel like you have to hide how you feel about her , because it 's a part of you . and i want to share that part of you . because i want to be close to you , marcie . i miss you . [ scene_break ] vanessa : what is that woman doing here ? cristian : téa ? vanessa : look , i know she 's your friend , but i do n't trust her . cristian : nobody does . she 's a lawyer . and she 's a little complicated . which is what i like about you . vanessa : that i 'm complicated ? cristian : that you 're not . except for a little drama with your ex - husband , everything 's been nice and even . [ scene_break ] téa : so , you do n't think todd killed lee halpern . and you do n't think i did . so who 's the culprit , john ? john : beats me . [ téa chuckles ] téa : well , obviously , you have a theory . john : hey , you know i left -- i left a job because the system does n't work . you do n't seem to have that problem . téa : everyone has a problem with the system , john . john : but you found a way to work it . téa : why would i want to do that ? marty : whoo ! excuse me . [ téa chuckles ] téa : well , you bumped into us . marty : oh , come on , you skidded right into me . trying to cut in ? [ scene_break ] david : mr. calhoun , thank you for telling me the truth . clint , bo , my brothers , thank you for your concern . i know you only have my best interests at heart . viki , my best friend , you 've been watching out for me . i appreciate that . and everyone else , thank you for your support . this has been -- well , this has been overwhelming . that 's why i need to speak with my wife . so if you will excuse us . jared : do n't call us , we 'll call you . ahem . clint : we should be so lucky . dorian : david , my darling -- david : dorian , did you marry me for love ? dorian : yes , of course i did . i love you , david . i always have , you know that . david : did you really give your home to moe and noelle ? dorian : that 's not so simple . david : do you wish to follow the path of the buddha ? dorian : to be perfectly honest with you , i 'm not as fond of all of that as you are . however , i have found it to be very , very peaceful , and tranquil , and i 'm really quite grateful to you for all of that . david : did you know i was asa buchanan 's son when you asked me to marry you ? [ scene_break ] clint : look , we need to get a plan in place , because if david decides to ditch the robes and lay claim to everything that we own , we 're going to have to move and we 're going to have to move fast . what ? viki : i find it remarkable . david is your brother . why did n't you tell me ? clint : why in god 's name would we tell you ? bo : easy , clint , come on . viki : oh , i do n't know , maybe for the children . he is their uncle now . clint : and your good friend . viki : all the more reason . clint : what , to tell you so you can tell him ? viki , do you not understand what 's going on here ? those children you just talked about ? your good friend david could take everything that they own . [ scene_break ] stacy : i was in your house . remember when i `` stole `` your dress ? you only have , like , eight million pictures of you and your son . rex : it 's true , gigi . [ gigi laughs ] stacy : could you stop questioning everything i say and just pretend like you 're actually happy to see me ? gigi : you 're right , i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry . it 's just , i have so many questions . like how are mom and dad ? i 'm sure the whole exotic dancer thing went over real big with them , huh ? oh , they must not know . stacy : no , no , they do n't -- they do n't know . gigi : i ca n't say that i blame you . i mean , after what happened with me , it 's pretty obvious that dad is pretty unforgiving and stubborn and -- stacy : he 's gone , gigi . they both are . gigi : what ? stacy : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i -- i really thought you knew . he died . rex : gigi , wait . [ scene_break ] clint : it 's a codicil ! when did he write it ? how the hell would i know when he wrote it ? but yeah , asa was crazy . pa was crazy his whole life . i do n't know . david says he 's now a -- what do you -- he 's a buddhist . how the hell would i know what he 's thinking ? hey , hey – natalie : there 's nothing you can do about it now , dad , except drink . nora : all right . to asa . clint : the world 's biggest son of a bitch . [ scene_break ] david : it 's all a lie , is n't it ? dorian : no , david -- david : you do n't love me at all . dorian : but , david , darling , i do love you , and you love me . we 're soul mates . david : you never intended to give moe and noelle your home or your money , did you ? dorian : well , i said that was n't simple . david : i think it is . when you had control of buchanan enterprises , you did n't want any part of me . and then you lost it . did you marry me just so you could get your hands back on the buchanan estate ? dorian : okay , you know i did . but so what ? david , you need me now more than ever . [ scene_break ] rex : gigi -- morasco . gigi : my parents . rex : i know . gigi : oh , god , i 'm just -- i left home , and i never even tried to find them . and now they 're gone ? god .
