[ scene_break ] marty : so if starr is n't giving the baby up for adoption and she 's not going to raise it herself , who will ? todd : yours truly . marty : you 're going to raise starr 's baby ? todd : i know she wants me to . is n't that wonderful ? todd : yeah , starr made a decision and she changed her mind . which probably was not easy for her . marty : i would n't think so . todd : but she looked at all the options and she realized that the best thing for her baby would be for me to raise it . marty : and you 've agreed . todd : oh , of course . i absolutely love children . i would do anything for starr , obviously . marty : wow . it 's just that you 've had such difficulty with your family , this is surprising . todd : you 're telling me . but , you know , starr and i have a real special bond . i think she sees that she 's doing the right thing . marty : yeah , you seem certain of that . todd : oh , i am -- i am . she realized that , you know , this kid is going to be a manning and he needs to be raised like a manning .

[ scene_break ] john : everything considered , i think sam 's pretty lucky to have you . blair : i 'm the lucky one . i mean , i can say that now that i can look at him without seeing his mother . john : yeah , well , babies do n't ask to be born . they do n't get to choose their parents . blair : i do n't think i could love that boy any more than if he were my own flesh and blood . john : you want to -- you want to grab some lunch or something ? blair : that 's sweet , but i actually have to meet starr at the hospital . john : is everything okay ? blair : no , everything 's fine . we 're just starting our birthing classes today . john : oh , yeah , birthing classes . blair : yeah , you know what ? you probably want to tag along , do n't you ? i know that it 's so right up your alley . john : that is not up my alley . blair : well , okay , i know you 're dying to know all about this stuff , so if you really want to know , i 'm going to be at capricorn tonight , okay ? john : you working ? blair : i own the place , remember ? john : oh . blair : you get back to work . john : okay .

[ scene_break ] michael : well , marcie 's going to be a great coach . marcie : and she 's got blair . michael : sounds like she 's got a lot of support . just , um , make sure that you let your ob and the rest of the labor team know what you want , right ? do n't let them tell you what 's best for you . starr : okay , i will . you know , i really wish that you were doing this with us . michael : yeah ... starr : well , because , you know , you 're a doctor and you know all that stuff . michael : right . starr : you know what ? i 'll just meet you inside , okay ? marcie : yeah , okay . starr still seems to think that you and i come as a package . michael : yeah , a lot of people think that . marcie : think it 's possible , mike ? they could be right , maybe ? [ scene_break ] marty : what made you so sure ? todd : well , my lawyer laid out in great detail everything that marcie and her husband had done and that the social worker said that she thinks that sam will never be the same because of what they had done . and then when he said that , you could see it hit starr deeply . and i think at that moment she realizes that marcie ca n't be trusted to raise a baby . marty : you know , i can understand why then she would n't want to give the baby to this marcie , but i do n't understand why she decided to give the baby to you . [ scene_break ] bo : john mcbain told me that you had a scare about your baby over at manning 's house . tess : [ as jessica ] oh , i was overreacting . it was nothing . bo : john did n't seem to think so . tess : well , john might be a really good detective , but he does n't know anything about pregnant women , okay ? i was overreacting . it was nothing . and i really wish that john would n't involve my family in my personal business . bo : well , jess , he 's concerned about you . tess : you know , if it had been something serious , you would have known about it . i just feel like everybody 's watching me all the time . bo : jessica , i want you to understand that we 're your family and we 're here for you . tess : really ? is that really why you 're here ? bo : what do you mean ? tess : well , i know that john thinks that uncle todd and i are involved in something shady . bo : is he wrong ? [ scene_break ] todd : i finally figured out a way to get through to starr . and that 's what did it . marty : what did you do ? todd : i convinced her to look at my life and the mess that it has become . i 'm divorced again and unable to see my children . i have no friends and , uh , i told her that the main reason that my life is in shambles is because when i was a baby , i was given away . and everyone around me was convinced that my adoptive parents were going to be great . they were not . marty : mm . todd : and starr realized that she was about to make the same mistake , and she said to herself , i need to give this kid to someone that i can trust , someone who will love it . marty : mm , you . todd : that 's right . 'cause deep down she knows that i love her and jack and sam more than anything . and nothing 's ever going to change that . i made a lot of mistakes , but whatever mistakes i made , it 's been because i love them . marty : well , john and blair certainly have n't helped your situation . todd : they 've got the whole town hating me . and , until today , starr really did n't trust me , but now she knows that i 'd do anything for this baby . she does n't want to have it go through what i went through . marty : i am glad something 's finally going your way . yeah . this could be a turning point for you . well , and me . it is time for me to leave , todd . [ scene_break ] marcie : starr is n't due for a couple of months , mike . you still have time to change your mind . you can be in that room with us , just like starr said . and then -- then afterwards we can take our baby home with us . michael : and then what ? marcie : well , then we try to -- to do what we tried to do two years ago . we make a family together . michael : i thought we already were a family , marcie , you and me , but then i find out that that 's not enough for you . [ scene_break ] starr : ooh . hi . blair : hey , where 's marcie ? starr : she 's out there talking to dr. mcbain . blair : oh . starr : mom , i think i screwed things up between them again . blair : why ? what did you do ? starr : well , i kind of told dr. mcbain that i wish he was going to be there when the baby 's born . blair : oh , well , so ? it 's -- look , starr , it 's okay because it 's what you want . starr : michael and marcie should be having this baby , not me . there are all of these happy couples here and then there 's me and my mom and the woman who 's going to be adopting my baby . blair : you want to bail on this little meeting here ? starr : no . blair : well , good . look , all this is about is they 're going to teach you what to expect during the pregnancy and at birth . and i think that 's a good thing . starr : okay , it does n't mean that i want to be here , though . blair : well , why would you , sweetheart ? you 're 16 years old and you 're having a baby . starr : i know . i 'm the typical stupid teenager that decided not to use protection . blair : that 's not what i meant when i said that . see all these people ? look at them . they 're all involved in their own pregnancy . they are . they 're not focused on you . starr : okay , you know that that 's not true , mom . all of these people are going to use me as an example to their children . she was only 16 and she was pregnant . and her boyfriend was nowhere to be found because he probably ran out on her . if they only knew i 'm the one to blame .

[ scene_break ] tina : come on , roxy , it ca n't be as bad as all that . roxy : it 's worse . i lied to rex about his father for his whole life , and then when he found that out , i lied to him again . tina : oh , now he knows about the second lie ? roxy : yeah , and he was even madder about the second lie than he was about the first , because he was really getting attached to this second , phony dad . i swear to you , he said to me , `` i will never talk to you again , roxy , unless you tell me the truth . `` tina : yeah , truth . such an annoying word . roxy : aw , man , the truth is so totally overrated . i just hope he gets over it . and , you know , if i tell him what he thinks he wants to hear , he 's never going to forgive me . tina : you know you 're not alone . i 'm a rotten mother , too . roxy : really ? tina : oh , yeah . i mean , at least you 're trying to get involved in your son 's life . now , me , i actually convinced myself that my children were better off if i stayed as far away as possible , which -- which is just selfish . roxy : did you miss them ? tina : probably . probably , but somehow , something or someone just always got in the way , and -- you know , i thank god , i am so happy that sarah , my sarah , is actually talking to me right now . but at the same time i do n't even know where my son is . roxy : yeah , i do n't even know where rex went for awhile . it drove me absolutely nuts . tina : well , your lies are n't nearly as bad as mine . i mean , at least you know where your children are . roxy : why do you do that ? tina : what ? roxy : make me feel better while you 're making yourself feel worse . tina : it 's a gift . and a curse . [ scene_break ] tess : [ as jessica ] i think i have a right to know what john 's accusing me of . what , does he think that i timed out the problem with my pregnancy to coincide with his search ? bo : jessica , no one 's accusing you of anything . tess : yes , he is . he 's been suspicious of me since i had those pains at todd 's house . i do n't even know why he showed up with a warrant in the first place . bo : john thinks that manning may be connected to that homicide that happened at his old place . tess : what , ramsey 's murder ? i thought you already knew who killed him . bo : a few loose ends . tess : am -- am i one of those loose ends ? bo : it 's john 's job to be suspicious about everyone . tess : unbelievable . guilty until proven innocent , i guess . listen , i am a pregnant widow with a two - year - old . i have enough trouble getting up out of bed in the morning , let alone getting involved in one of todd 's schemes . bo : i 'm sorry . tess : yeah . you know , i know how you all feel about todd , but he 's my uncle , and he 's always been good to me . and -- and i 'm not going to apologize for that . but i 'm also not going to put myself in the position to be one of his alibis .

[ scene_break ] wendy : in this week 's class , we 're going to talk about six practices that support and promote normal childbirth . excuse me , may i help you ? todd : no , you may not . [ scene_break ] janet : todd is going to raise a child ? alone ? marty : no , no . he told me he knows he ca n't do it alone . janet : oh -- oh , oh , wonderful . so now i 'm going to be a baby nurse as well ? marty : no , he does n't expect you to do two jobs . actually , he 's asked me if i would help . [ scene_break ] wendy : are you here as a birthing coach to someone in the class ? todd : no . blair : i 'm sorry about this interruption . this is starr 's father . starr : dad , what are you doing here ? todd : well , i want to talk to you . blair : look , i made the mistake of telling your father about this appointment today . sorry . there is a restraining order against this man , so if you want to call security , please feel -- todd : no , there 's no need to call security , uh , wendy . i 'm just going to say my piece here and i will go , in peace . [ scene_break ] cole : i really do n't know what to do about starr . but nora thinks i should start making plans now that i 'm going into senior year . langston : okay ? cole : and do you want to know what plans i 've made so far ? to abandon my kid and go as far away from this place as possible . at this time next year , nobody 's going to remember me . langston : oh , that 's not true . cole : i do n't have anyone here , langston . langston : you have me and markko . and you have starr . cole : not anymore . langston : okay , well whose fault is that ? cole : i 'm the one that broke up with her , all right ? so why am i torturing both of us ? why ca n't i just let her go ? langston : because you still love her ? and you know what ? i do n't think that starr feels like seeing you would be torture . you 're all she thinks about . cole : yeah , that 's not healthy . langston : oh , no kidding . but she 's got your kid kicking inside of her day and night , and her family is a wreck , and she 's freaked out about waddling into school , hearing all the trash talk , not to mention the fact that she has to go into labor , push the kid out , and then , oh , yeah , give it up . so what 's she supposed to do besides think about the one thing that has kept her happy for like the past two years ? cole : we ca n't go back to the way it was before . not after she gave the baby away . she made her decision and now i 've made mine . langston : yeah , but -- cole : you do n't think she 's having second thoughts , do you ? langston : no . so do you want me tell her that you were here ? cole : i guess i also came over here because i was feeling guilty . langston : about what ? cole : well , i ran into starr at the country club the other day . and when i saw her , it just -- it just drove me crazy , and i did something dumb . langston : how dumb ? cole : i can just hear my mom right now . she would be really disappointed . [ scene_break ] janet : you are making such good progress , marty . and -- but you 're still pretty much confined to bed . todd is here with a nurse in residence and all the money he needs to hire whoever he wants to take care of this baby . so why do you think he 's asking you ? marty : well , maybe he thought it would be good therapy . get me connected to the world again . and he knows that i understand what it 's like not to have a family . janet : mm , yes , i 've heard the rumors about him and his wife . marty : mm - hmm , she cut him off from his children . janet , if you 'd seen his face when he talked about bringing his grandchild here . if there 's anything i can do to help that -- janet : marty , have you agreed to this already ? marty : no , no . not yet . because i do n't know the first thing about being a mother . i mean , but todd said -- janet : what ? marty : well , he said that taking care of me is what began to turn his life around . janet : so that 's what got to you . marty : actually , what got to me was that he said he thought i would be a good mom . [ scene_break ] langston : cole , what did you do ? cole : i ran into starr at the country club . she was having lunch with her mom and marcie , and we got into again about her giving the baby away . and then karen and her crew show up , and karen figures out that starr is pregnant , and she starts saying stuff . langston : karen 's such a bitch . cole : yeah , yeah she is , and starr was pretty upset . langston : so what happened ? cole : well , karen and her group went to the pool . and starr said that she could tell that i 'd rather be with them than her . and i did n't -- i did n't know what to say . so i went swimming with karen . langston : you what ? that 's like giving karen a pass for what she said . cole : yeah , i know . and i sort of came on to her , too . langston : tell me you did not hook up with her . cole : no , no , i did n't , all right ? i was just trying to think of something besides starr , that 's all . langston : oh , karen and her teeny bikini , there 's a distraction . cole : i 'm sorry . i feel guilty , all right ? langston : and you should . karen just trashed the girl that you love and not only were you okay with it , but you were a little turned on , as well ? i mean , does that help you stop thinking about starr ? do you feel better now ? [ scene_break ] todd : there is no need to call security . i 'll be done before they get here , anyway . i did n't come to make any trouble . blair : but you always do , todd . todd : i just want to say one thing . blair : what ? todd : i 'm sorry . [ scene_break ] tess : [ as jessica ] what 's wrong ? it 's a beautiful room . i mean , come on . look around . you ca n't even tell it 's a basement . tina : yeah , but it 's in the basement . tess : i know , but the kitchen is just one flight of stairs away . and think of all the privacy you and david vickers will have . tina : yeah , but that door outside has shelves on it . tess : oh , yeah . that 's a secret door . is n't it great ? [ tina laughs ] tina : yeah , and this wall here is , um , glass . tess : oh -- tina : so how much privacy could there be ? tess : that 's the latest design trend . and it 's in all the magazines . tina : wow , you know i must have missed that one . tess : you know , tina , i 'm a little disappointed . i put a lot of work into this room , and i thought that you would like it . i mean , think of all the privacy you 'll have . with david vickers , he can bark , run around . you know , pee on things . and you can have visitors come here , and nobody will know the difference . it 's kind of like a peace offering to you . tina : oh , yeah , and you know , it 's not -- well , i appreciate it . i really do . but i have a great idea . oh , since you like it so much , why do n't you move in here ? tess : [ as jessica ] well , obviously i ca n't live here . i have a small child . tina : yeah . well , clearly the basement is n't fit for anyone to live in . and you know , you may not realize this , but your grandfather had a secret room down here . it 's -- it 's where he took viki when -- tess : yeah , yeah , yeah . i heard . that was demolished ages ago . tina : yeah , well , there 's more . i mean , when your mother -- when she lost touch with reality , and then she had -- tess : d.i.d ? it 's okay , you can say it . tina : yeah , well she built a whole other room down here , right where this room is . tess : really ? tina : yeah . it 's the room where she kept dorian lord locked up . tess : wow . i had n't heard about that . tina : and you know , it 's interesting because she had a glass wall in that room , too , just so viki -- so she could watch dorian suffer . tess : wow . i ca n't believe my mother did those things . tina : yeah . yeah , it 's like she was a whole other -- person . just like you . your mother told me all about you . you 're tess . [ scene_break ] oliver : right , i can get rid of the hair on her face , extrapolate her features . i do n't suppose you 've got anything else for me to go on ? john : yeah , i do . these are her , too . oliver : wow , thank you . that , um -- ooh , that helps . i took a class in video and medical forensics , you know . this woman 's got a fractured skull , probably t.b.i . that 's traumatic brain injury . let 's see , spinal injuries , too . are you sure this woman 's still alive ? john : does she look alive ? oliver : well , we ca n't even tell that much yet . your brother 's a surgeon , is n't he ? what did he have to say about these ? john : you just corroborated his diagnosis . spinal injuries with severe brain trauma . oliver : that 's all he could tell you ? john : he said if she did have cognitive function , she may not remember much , if anything , of her old life . [ scene_break ] janet : may i say something ? marty : sure . janet : i know that you 're really grateful to mr. manning . but please do not let that be the reason that you do this for him . marty : but why should n't i ? janet : well , because -- i should n't say anything , but you 're going to have your own life to get back to some time . marty : yeah , i hope . janet : oh , so do you really think you want to make this kind of commitment ? do you really think you can serve as a mother to todd 's grandchild and then vanish from his life ? [ scene_break ] cole : well , it obviously did n't work . otherwise i would n't be here . and you 're right , karen 's a bitch . langston : that 's funny . that 's what she would say about starr and me . cole : there 's no way i could be friends with her . langston : oh , so instead you just came on to her . how big of a dog are you ? cole : you know , the two minutes that i spent with her , i felt lonelier than i do when i 'm alone . do you know what i mean ? it 's like how i feel when i go and visit my mom 's gravesite . and for the ten thousandth time i think to myself , i 'm never , ever going to see her again . [ scene_break ] janet : you are going to get your life back . i mean , look how far you 've come , how much better you 're getting every day . i mean , from a medical standpoint , you know , you should have died from your injuries . you 're really inspiring , marty . i hope you know that . marty : well , thank you . and not just for the encouragement . thank you for making it happen . you and todd . janet : and lee ramsey , too . i do n't know if you 'd be here if it were n't for him . marty : i know . no , my life as i know it started when he pulled me from that van before it blew up . gosh , i owe him so much . i 'll never forget him . i 'm still so devastated by what happened to him . but i never felt that kind of personal connection with lee . i mean , he tried . he was just a little more reserved . you know , with todd , it 's just different . [ scene_break ] blair : what exactly are you sorry for this time , todd ? todd : everything . wendy : okay , people , why do n't we take a five ? blair : oh , i 'm sorry . it 's going to take a hell of a lot longer than five minutes for this man to go through everything that he 's sorry for . starr : look , mom -- todd : okay , i 'll just keep this short and sweet . when i lost sam today , it really -- starr : wait , the hearing was today ? todd : yeah , did n't she tell you ? starr : mom , you got sam ? no , i -- i 'm sorry , i would have been there . blair : i know . i just -- sweetheart , i did not want you to worry that we could lose sam again . todd : marcie , you remember what i told you and michael would happen if i lost sam ? marcie : yeah , i remember . you said that you would kill us . todd : right . that 's because i blamed you for everything . well , now i blame myself for everything . i did n't do the things that i should have that would have proved that i deserve sam . and maybe i just do n't deserve him . blair : starr , the judge asked your father to do two things . one was to go to anger management counseling . the second was to cooperate with child services . but has he done any of those ? no . then you show up here and you want to say you 're sorry ? that suddenly you 're better ? todd , nothing changes , does it ? todd : that was before . blair : before what ? what lightning bolt came down and made you a better man ? i mean , when my love and our children 's love could n't change you . [ scene_break ] janet : marty , you 're really serious about this , are n't you ? you think you have found yourself a new family . you and todd and that grandchild . marty : hmm . [ scene_break ] todd : after i left the courtroom this morning , i went to see a shrink . [ blair scoffs ] todd : yes , i know it 's hard for you to believe , but i did . and she helped me to understand a couple of things . blair : really ? todd : yes . i was really counting on getting sam back today . um , because he 's mine , you know . he 's my flesh and blood . he 's not yours , marcie , and you obviously never wanted him . he 's really all i 've been thinking about lately , or actually for the past year . and he 's the reason for everything i 've done . but this doctor helped me to realize that a child 's not a piece of property . he -- he needs to be loved and appreciated , and it 's whoever loves and appreciates him the most who deserves to have him . and it seems to me that i just hurt everything that 's in my life , you know ? so i thought maybe the best thing to do for this child is to save him from me . starr : okay , but , dad -- todd : no , no , no . starr : do n't say that . todd : no , it 's okay . i appreciate it . i love you so much . you know that , short man . you 're such a great kid . and now you 're having a baby , and that 's probably my fault , too . i think it is . you know , you 're sixteen though , and you 're so mature . you 're doing what you think is best for this baby and for yourself . which is more than i ever did for you , certainly . and not that marcie would be my first choice to raise my flesh and blood , but sam turned out okay . actually , to tell you the truth , he turned out more than okay . and i 'm thoroughly certain that marcie would be an excellent mother to my grandchild . [ scene_break ] marty : no , as far as i 'm concerned , todd 's the only family i 've got . janet : hmm . well , i know he pays the bills , but , boy , i 'm pretty devoted to you . marty : no , no , you , you . of course , you . you know how grateful i am . but when john mcbain came after me , i mean , todd -- he lied to the police . he could have been arrested . all he cared about was protecting me . i still do n't know how he pulled it off . janet : i do . guess who lieutenant mcbain found in that bed instead of you ? marty : you ? janet : mm - hmm . marty , i -- i need to ask you something , and it 's not to pry , but -- marty : but you want to know why you walked in and todd was sleeping here , right ? janet : yes . marty : nothing happened . do n't worry . janet : but did you want it to ? [ scene_break ] oliver : you know i 'm a fact - oriented guy . john : oh , i know , fish . oliver : but forensics is kind of an art . john : no kidding . oliver : you may piece stuff together from here and there , you make educated guesses -- john : mm - hmm . oliver : and i know that you want to keep this under wraps , and if you do n't trust me , i totally understand . but it would really help if you told me whatever else you know . do you have any idea who this woman could be ? just between you and me and the computer . [ scene_break ] marty : todd 's ex - wife really hurt him . i do n't think he 's ready to start a relationship with anyone else . janet : i did n't ask what he wanted . i asked what you wanted . marty : i want to be able to stand up and walk out of this room . how 's that for a goal ? janet : oh , well . oh , that 's what i want , too , and i think that 's what todd wants . marty : you think ? janet : marty , look , i know he 's been wonderful to you . he 's been a good boss to me . and -- look , i do n't understand mr. manning very well , but there is one thing i do know , and i think you know it , too . he 's -- how do i say this ? it seems he has a crush on you . marty : oh , come -- really ? janet : really ? marty : oh , i do n't know . maybe -- ahem . whatever instinct i had for that 's gone , too . he does everything for me . i 'm grateful , i 'm -- janet : you 're smitten . marty : well , i do n't know . he 's attractive . there 's something about that broken , sad thing he does -- [ janet laughs ] marty : makes me want to reach out to him , i do n't know . maybe that 's it . maybe i 'm just reacting to how he 's treating me , right ? janet : oh , no , no . you know , i do n't think you 're reacting . okay , objectively , i have to say -- he 's a really sexy man . marty : ah ! [ janet and marty laugh ] janet : there you go . marty : oh , god . [ scene_break ] blair : well , todd , you were right about one thing . marcie will be an excellent mother to starr 's baby . even though he does not mean a word that he is saying . you know , what angle are you trying to make here , todd ? what are you going for here ? todd : there 's no angle . you know , even you can tell when i 'm being honest , right ? blair : why now ? todd : because i realize now that -- that i have lost everything i cared for . starting with you . now a judge has ordered me to clean up my act . he gave me a year , and i 've got a lot to work on , right ? blair : well , see , i think you 've got your act down pretty good right now . todd : i 'm trying here , okay ? i really am . can you cut me some slack ? you know , i really do n't care about you and me anymore . i do n't . but i love my children . starr , the last thing i want to do is make your life any harder than it is right now . so if you feel like giving your baby to marcie is the best thing for the baby , for yourself , even if it 's to punish me , i 'm not going to fight you on it , okay ? starr : thank you . todd : all right . that 's all i have to say . sorry . take care of yourself and the baby . see you . [ scene_break ] tess : tess ? oh . no . you do n't know her , and you do n't want to know her . look , i 'm sorry i 've been so mean to you , aunt tina . you do n't want to live here ? you do n't have to live here . maybe we can get lois to take this loft , you know , when she gets back from wherever the hell she is . tina : yeah , that 's -- that 's a great idea . okay , why do n't we go upstairs , and we can have a little snack and work out our problems ? tess : hmm . i do n't think so . tina : you are tess . tess : hi , tina . tina : what are you going to do to me ? tess : you are going to wish you got your head chopped off in mendorra . tina : you are scaring david vickers . tess : why ? why could n't you and your mangy mutt just have stayed far , far away , huh ? tina : jessica , what hap -- i mean , tess , what happened ? i mean , i know your husband died . did you just snap ? tess : okay , shut up . just shut the hell up ! oh , my god . i told you not to come down in the basement , did n't i ? did n't i ? tina : run , david vickers , run ! go get help . come on -- run ! come on , go get help . [ scene_break ] john : i can only tell you what 's there . i know she was living with ramsey in march . oliver : but you 've got a personal interest because it involves ramsey ? john : i have a personal interest . let 's just leave it at that .

[ scene_break ] marcie : so what do you think that was really about ? starr : oh , what my dad said ? well , he 's sad . he misses us , and he hopes to be a part of our lives someday . blair : starr , come on . starr : okay , look . i know you think that i got sucked into it again . but like i do n't know that dad lies about half of the things he says ? but what i truly know is that he loves us , and he knows that if he does n't change , then that 's it , right ? blair : well , we 'll see . starr : okay , you know what ? let 's forget about it . thank you -- thank you both for coming with me today , but i do n't think that we should come back to this class . blair : what , are you going to bail on the class ? starr : look , we can buy the books , read it all at home . millions of women have given birth without these classes , right ? blair : starr . starr : oh , my -- hello . geez , i 'll be happy when this baby moves off of my bladder . i 'll be back . marcie : blair ? blair : hmm ? marcie : do you think todd 's apology was a big lie ? blair : yeah , i think it was . marcie : yeah . so what do you think he 's going to try now ? [ scene_break ] marty : the last thing i want is for you to get hurt . todd : thank you very much . so , now it 's all set . have you had a little bit of time to think about my proposition , hmm ? are you going to help me raise this little family , or are n't you ?

[ scene_break ] john : manning did n't do anything nuts , did he ? i mean , you would n't keep that from me , would you ? blair : no , i would not keep that from you , detective . but he was on his best behavior . there was a roomful of people and best behavior such as it is . john : so what was he doing there ? blair : apologizing . john : what was he smoking ? blair : that 's exactly what i thought , but no . you know , he walks in there and he , you know , he goes into this speech telling starr how much he understands why she 's giving her baby to marcie , but the clincher is he practically gives marcie his blessing . john : do you believe him ? blair : no , absolutely not , but you know starr did . she desperately wants to believe that her father has changed . john : so what 's really happened with him ? blair : i do n't know . john : with manning , there 's usually another agenda . i 'm going to find out what it is .

[ tess snaps fingers ] todd : hmm . do what you do best . get some leverage . find something to hold over her . you know , if you figure out what she 's up to , she wo n't give you up . tess : you know , i have to be honest with you . i 'm a little disappointed . is this the best you can do ? todd : well , it works for me . see you . oh , hey , by the way -- if you mess things up again , do n't include me . and remember , i can hurt you just as bad as you think you can hurt me .

[ scene_break ] clint : before you saddle up that moral high horse of yours , let 's remember -- nora : oh , not a good start . clint : let 's remember that dorian is wearing the black hat here , okay ? and she will do anything to keep that girl . the only thing that i was doing was revamping what we were trying to do with addie and david vickers . nora : okay , langston is a minor . she 's a complete innocent here . clint : like i told natalie , she is not going to get hurt . i 'm just using her for leverage . nora : okay , you know what ? it 's not for me to judge your business decisions . that 's not why i 'm miffed here . clint : you 're not miffed -- you 're angry , are n't you ? nora : okay , it 's about us -- if there ever was an `` us . `` i just feel like you went out and did all this right behind my back . clint : i did n't -- i told you i was working on something . nora : and that you would fill me in as it started coming together . but it 's up and running , and i had to hear about that from somebody else , very much like the time you teamed up with lindsay behind my back . clint : okay -- with either time , if i had told you , would you have approved ? [ scene_break ] sarah : so , what exactly does my grandfather have you working on ? jared : oh , you know , a possible way to drive dorian lord out of b.e . sarah : and it involves south america ? jared : that 's right . sarah : you 're not going to give me any juicy tidbits ? jared : you got it . would n't want to cross him -- again . sarah : i used to like you , jared . jared : yeah -- back when nobody else did .

blair returns home distraught to know that she 's been betrayed by eli and feeling guilty and embarrassed to know that she did not listen to all the people who warned her about him . rex wants to support gigi in going back to school . but he runs into kelly who is ready to throw her mother 's ashes into her favorite river . cristian and layla find themselves having a dilemma between their respective career dreams and being together . jessica finds that she can not keep the secret from brody anymore . so she admits that he may not be the father of her child . natalie is similarly keeping her secret from john as well as from roxy .
todd : for what it 's worth , delgado , i 'm very sorry about your husband . i mean , victor was a total fraud , but he was your fraud ... téa : hmm . todd : and i -- [ scene_break ] echo : oh , there 's my boys . shane : hey , echo . echo : hey , sweetie . how was the movie ? shane : ok , i guess . echo : guess what . there are some fresh - baked chocolate chip cookies just waiting for you in the kitchen . shane : you baked ? echo : me ? oh , heavens no , but the cook that your father hired , she did , and i imagine they 're still hot . shane : you 're trying to get rid of me , are n't you ? echo : no ! i 'm trying to give you cookies because i love you , and the fact that i do have to talk to your father alone , well , that 's just a coincidence . is he ok ? rex : he was a little distracted during the movie . echo : and what about you ? are you distracted , too ? rex : ok . what 's on your mind ? echo : this . [ scene_break ] natalie : hey , you . brody : hey . i 'm sorry . i 'm just checking in . what 's that ? natalie : oh , it 's the preliminary forensics report on my uncle . it just came back . brody : you get a chance to look it over ? natalie : yeah , and now we know the type of gun that killed him .

[ scene_break ] jessica : well , if you still wanted to know if there was a spark between us , now we know . cristian : yeah . we do ... do n't we ? jessica : what do you think ? cristian : i asked you first . [ scene_break ] natalie : so it turns out -- john , hey , glad you 're here . john : what 's up ? natalie : forensics on my uncle victor , and the slug that they pulled out of him is a 9-mil . brody : same caliber as the gun blair reported missing from dorian 's safe , the one her kid says he saw todd manning with . [ scene_break ] blair : tell you what , buddy . why do n't you go back upstairs , and i 'll be up there in a minute , and we can talk , ok ? run along . jack : what are you waiting for ? just tell him the truth . blair : jack -- jack : hey , hey , dad is dead . your friend scarface killed him . sam : no , he did n't . you 're lying . jack : you do n't believe me ? ask mom .

[ scene_break ] jessica : ok . there 's definitely no doubt . the spark is still there . i mean , for me , anyway . cristian : oh , me , too . i mean , yeah , maybe . that was a pretty amazing kiss . jessica : yeah , pretty amazing . cristian : so i guess the question now is , what do we do about it ? [ scene_break ] john : the gun stolen from dorian 's safe was a 9-millimeter . it 's not good enough . 9-millimeter is just too common these days . you know , they 're practically standard issue for every officer in the department , right , brody ? [ scene_break ] rex : what are you doing with a gun ? echo : i got it out of the safe . rex : yeah . i figured that . what 's it doing in your hand ? echo : there 's no way to sugar - coat this , so i might as well just say it straight out . did you use that gun to kill victor lord jr. ? [ scene_break ] blair : what in the world do you think you 're doing ? how could you do that to your little brother ? he 's just a baby . jack : no . he 's not . he deserves to know the truth . blair : i 'm gon na tell him the truth . do you hear me ? i would tell him the truth . you get upstairs . you get upstairs right now . jack : i do n't have to go anywhere . blair : you get upstairs right now . i have to make your brother understand . hey , sam , you want to come over here and have a little talk with me ? sam : i do n't want to . blair : i think we should . sam : we do n't need to 'cause dad is not dead . my friend did n't kill anyone . [ scene_break ] téa : you know , i understand how you could blame him , hate him , resent him ... todd : delgado , you got it all wrong . téa : for taking your life , for stealing your family , even though none of that was his fault . todd : oh , right , because nothing is ever victor 's fault . téa : no . it was your own sadistic mother that you have to blame for that , but how you could hurt me like that ... how you could hurt your own kids like that , that is something that i do n't understand . todd : i did n't . téa : you know , i -- i always thought -- i always thought that even your worst enemies would conceive that you loved your children , that you would do anything to protect them . i guess i was wrong . did you give one moment 's thought to how dani , my daughter -- our daughter , would feel when she saw the man that she came to know and love as her father zipped into a body bag , when she heard that he was gunned down and slaughtered in her own home ? todd : did i think about that ? that 's what your asking me ? of course , i thought about it , delgado . that 's all i thought about . it 's the only reason that i did n't kill victor . téa : liar . todd : i did n't kill victor . téa : oh , of course not . that 's why you 're in the police station , because you 're innocent . todd : when am i not a suspect ? téa : that 's why you stole the gun from dorian 's safe and went m.i.a . after my husband was killed , and that 's why the police have an apb out on you , because you 're innocent . todd : i am innocent , and it 's not like the police dragged me in here after some long manhunt . i turned myself in . téa : this is some weird scheme to beat the lpd at their own game . todd : no , because i 'm innocent , and i can prove it . téa : really ? todd : yes , really . ok . fine . i took the gun from dorian 's safe , and i was gon na use it to confront victor , making him give back everything that he took from me . téa : but you 're innocent . todd : i did n't shoot the guy . look . if the gun had gone off during our conversation , i would n't have been that broken up about it . téa : of course not . todd : it would 've been karma that pulled the trigger . téa : but you 're sorry he 's dead . todd : yes . i am because i never had a chance to confront him , and i did n't get a chance because of my children , because of jack , because of starr and danielle . they did n't know that victor was n't their father . it 's not their fault . for whatever reason , they loved him , and i would never do anything like that to my children . téa : prove it . [ scene_break ] john : the slug wo n't mean anything until we have the gun to compare it to . natalie : yeah , which means we need to find the gun . any leads on todd 's whereabouts ? john : he 's here . he 's in the box . brody : who brought him in ? john : came in voluntarily . brody : he 's cooperating ? john : mm - hmm , even copped to taking the gun from dorian 's safe , but he says he never fired the gun and when we find it , it 'll clear him . natalie : whoa , what do you mean , find it ? he does n't know where it is ? john : no . he says he gave it to this guy louie -- you know , the homeless guy down at the docks -- and i guess lou was gon na turn it in to the lpd for some cash . natalie : let me guess -- we do n't have it . john : no . no . we do n't . hey , look . you want to take this one ? why do n't you go down there , find louie , see if he has the gun ? [ scene_break ] todd : when mcbain finds louie , louie will show them the gun . the cops will see that the gun has never been fired . the whole thing will be cleared right up . téa : mm , everything tied up into a nice , little bow , huh ? todd : you do n't believe me ? téa : why should i ? you slammed victor again and again for stealing your life , even though none of that was his fault . todd : right . says him and our crazy mother . téa : you threatened his life , and you finally made good on those threats . todd : ah , you have n't changed a bit in 8 years . you still do n't listen to a word i say . téa : eight years in an underground prison . you 're the one who has n't changed a bit . you do n't think ever . you just react to whatever is threatening you by lashing out like some kind of venomous snake without one thought to how your actions might affect the people around you . todd : i 'm like some kind of wild animal . i 'm practically crawling on my belly . téa : pretty much . todd : and how about you ? you 're supposed to be the brains of this little outfit , right ? you were always the smart one . if you 're so smart , how come you did n't see right through him ? you would n't be mourning your dead husband if you 'd known the truth about him all along . téa : the truth ? todd : you 're an idiot , delgado . you fell in love with an imposter . [ scene_break ] sam : i know dad is not dead . jack is lying like always . blair : hey , come over here and sit with me . big guy . uh ! yeah . i know that your big brother , he does sometimes lie . sam : all the time . he lied about santa ... blair : mm - hmm . i remember . sam : then we saw him on the roof . jack is lying . i know it . blair : well ... this time , sweetie , jack is telling the truth . look at me . daddy is gone . [ scene_break ] rex : did i wha -- you think that i killed victor lord jr. ? echo : well , it has crossed your mind . rex : yes . of course , it crossed it . it does n't mean that i 'd actually do it . echo : like the night you took that very gun to the `` vicker man `` premiere . you wanted to use it on him then . rex : yes . you 're right . i did , and i also told you that i did n't go through with it . i lost my nerve . echo : yes . you did . you lost your nerve then , but did you get it back ? [ scene_break ] jessica : i do n't know what we should do about our spark . i mean , i appreciate that rama thinks that you should fill this hole in your life by reconnecting with your first love , but i -- cristian : what ? jessica : i just do n't think that we should read too much into that kiss . cristian : you just said it was amazing . jessica : it was . i mean , the kiss is not the problem . everything else is . i mean , my life is a mess . my father is on house arrest . my sister has moved out to raise the baby that she had with my ex - fiancé , and then ford just -- we have this complicated relationship over our baby . cristian : right . jessica : that 's not even the worst of it . my uncles . what 's going on with them ? i mean , my uncle victor just died , and my uncle todd just came back . cristian : kind of confusing . jessica : yeah , and what we thought was a spark could 've just been that , you know ? could 've just been confusion . cristian : jess , i know the difference between confusion and excitement , and -- trust me -- that kiss was all about excitement . you know ... maybe something is still there , a real connection that could change our lives ... if we let it . [ scene_break ] tess : you know , i 'm really starting to take this personally . you 're trying to get rid of me , are n't you ? i 'm gon na keep on asking until you answer . ford : no . damn it ! look . you know i 'd give anything to have you back right now . i love you , and i miss you like crazy . apparently , i miss you so much that i 'm imagining you 're here right now , and i 'm sure that waitress is getting ready to ship me off to st. ann 's because i 'm talking to myself ! tess : so you want me back . ford : i just said i want you back . tess : then why are you avoiding jessica ? ford : shh . tess : do n't shush me . nobody can hear me , ok ? you 're going about this all wrong . you need to get in her face so you can get me out . that way , you wo n't have to imagine me . you could have me in the ample , silky flesh if that 's what you wanted . ford : uh , i ca n't do that . jessica is integrated now . tess : so disintegrate her . [ scene_break ] jessica : the idea of trying to recapture our old flame is very , very tempting , but , cristian , i do n't know if you 've noticed , but my life is a little crazy right now . cristian : and mine is n't ? jessica : you really want to compare ? i have screwed up so many people 's lives , including my own , because of my craziness . i just do n't think that now is the right time for me to take this big leap . cristian : i know the timing is n't great . jessica : when i was tess , i pretty much abandoned bree and ryder , and i did horrible things to my family , and i 'm paying for them , and now there 's this thing with ford . cristian : that did sound complicated . jessica : when i was tess , i let him fall in love with me , and now we ca n't even be in the same room together , because i remind him of tess , and then there 's natalie , who you were actually married to . cristian : right , right . that would be kind of awkward for natalie . jessica : that might be a pretty good reason for us to get back together . i could stick it to natalie . [ scene_break ] natalie : and , as you can see , there 's only so much the csu team could collect through the storm . i mean , any trace evidence -- footprints , tire tracks -- all washed away . john : what about inside the house ? natalie : millions of prints . i mean , we 're still analyzing them , but i do n't know what good it 's gon na do . i mean , there were so many people in and out of victor 's house , not to mention , we do n't know if the shooter touched anything . um , anyway , that 's the rundown . john : hey , um ... i just wanted to say i 'm sorry . [ scene_break ] rex : do n't worry , echo . i did n't change my mind , not that i 'm losing sleep over that bastard being killed , but i did n't kill victor lord jr. , ok ? so can we just change the subject ? echo : rex , i know you went out late that night . i heard you leave , and i saw your muddy shoes by the door this morning . rex : what , are you a p.i . now ? you want to know where i went ? i went to gigi 's grave . echo : gigi 's grave ? rex : yes . echo : so you 're sure you did n't go to victor 's house , assault jack , and then kill his father ? rex : yes , echo . i 'm sure ! echo : it was raining that night . rex : oh , god , what , more clues now ? echo : it 's just , there was a thunderstorm . it seems like an odd time to go to a cemetery to grieve . rex : that 's not why i went to her grave . i went to her grave just to make sure everything was all right . echo : why would n't it be ? rex : because it was n't my first trip to the grave that day . i had been there earlier to make sure that gigi was still there .

[ scene_break ] téa : oh , no , you do n't . you do n't get to blame me for not realizing that he was n't you . you were n't there . todd : that 's right . i know i was n't there . téa : you do n't know what happened . you think i just accepted that he was you ? todd : did n't you ? téa : no . i had a dna test drawn , and guess what the results came back -- that he was todd manning . what , was i supposed to be suspicious that he was victor , his brainwashed twin ? we did n't know he existed . i thought he was you . todd : but he was n't . he was a fake . come on . you 're supposedly in love with the guy . it does n't occur to you that it might not be me ? téa : none of us knew . todd : starr knew . starr knew . he pushed starr down a flight of stairs when she was pregnant . i would n't do something like that to her , and you know it . téa : well , that was an accident . todd : i would n't watch my little girl get hurt like that , and how about this ? i supposedly locked marty saybrooke in a room so we could fall in love . oh , gee , that did n't make you scratch your head just a little bit ? téa : i was n't in llanview then . todd : ok , but when you came back , all of that made perfect sense . téa : after talking with victor , yes . todd : how is that possible ? oh ! téa : he was trying to make up for the horrible things that you did . todd : right . what a guy . téa : do n't you dare say one bad word about victor , ok ? yes . he made some mistakes . he made some todd manning - size mistakes . i have to give it to your mother . she really managed to instill in him all your bad qualities ... todd : maybe that 's why you fell in love with the guy . téa : but he had some really good qualities , too , qualities that you do n't have , qualities you never had . you really want to know why i fell in love with him ? todd : he drugged you ? téa : no . drugs had nothing to do with it . he loved me in a way you never could . he was gentle with me . he was passionate with me . he was giving , truly giving . you abandoned me on an island in the middle of the ocean . ha ha ha ! victor the fraud , he gave me back my life . todd : good for him . téa : that 's not all . he was n't afraid to be a lover to me . he could give himself to me . he could open himself to me . todd : i really do n't want to hear this . téa : i do n't care . he could n't wait to make love to me . it was not some huge torturous event every time the possibility arose . todd : all right . victor was perfect . téa : no . i never said he was perfect . todd : he was n't a convict . he was n't a bully . he was n't a kidnapper . téa : was n't a sex offender . todd : huh . téa : never raped anyone , unlike you . [ scene_break ] blair : we do n't have all the answers about what happened to dad yet , but i can tell you this much , that we 're all gon na be together -- you , me , starr , dani , jack , aunt dorian , aunt viki , grandma addie . we 're all gon na stick together , and we 're all gon na stick beside you , and you know all those wonderful , wonderful memories of dad ? in a way , that 's gon na keep him alive forever , ok ? sam : it 's not the same . blair : i know . it 's not . look at me . it 's ok to feel sad , because we 're all gon na miss him so much , but we also have to keep our chin up , too , so daddy can see us smile , ok ? [ scene_break ] shane : i came to tell you that i 'm sorry . jack : why ? shane : because i know how you feel . i know how much it sucks to lose one of your parents . jack : yeah . well , killer is not getting away with it . my dad 's brother scarface is going to jail . shane : that 's good . you know , they have someone in jail for killing my mom , too , only the person that really killed her is still walking around ... for now . [ scene_break ] rex : i had gigi 's body exhumed . echo : what ? rex : you know that i 've been seeing her . echo : no . i know you thought you saw her once or twice , but -- rex : no . i do n't think that i saw her . i was n't imagining it . i saw gigi . i had to be sure . i got this idea that i had to see her . so i had her dug up . now i know gigi really is dead . echo : i 'm so sorry that you felt you had to go to those lengths , but it makes sense , does n't it ? that kind of grief and anger , it can be overwhelming . that kind of grief and that kind of anger can make people do desperate things . rex : we 're not talking about gigi 's grave anymore , are we ? echo : rex , please understand that i 'm only pressing this because i love you . i know how much you wanted justice for gigi 's death -- for her , for you , for shane . rex : echo ... echo : if you did this , i just want you to know that if you did something drastic , you can tell me . you know that , right ? you can trust me . sweetheart , please . i mean , i forged gigi 's signature on that proxy , so that you could decide what to do with her heart . remember that ? rex : i remember . echo : ok . so you can trust me now . shane has already lost his mother . do n't let him lose his father , too . rex : shane is not going to lose his father . do n't worry . whatever you 're thinking , i did n't kill victor lord , though i am grateful to whoever did . i 'm telling you the truth , echo . echo : i guess i 'll just have to take your word for it , then . rex : thank you . echo : i 'd still like you to get rid of this gun , though . i 'd feel a lot better knowing that there was n't a 9-millimeter handgun lying around this house . [ scene_break ] natalie : you 're sorry ? john : for your loss . i know your relationship with your uncle was complicated . natalie : right . yeah . i mean , i guess victor and i were n't really close , right , but he 's still my uncle , and no one deserves to die this way . john : if you want off this case -- natalie : no . no . it 's fine . i can handle it . i mostly feel sorry for my mom and jess -- they were close to him -- and téa and my cousins . they loved him , as opposed to my brother , who pretty much did a jig the minute he found out the news , said it was justice for gigi . john : i hope that 's not motive i hear . natalie : rex ? no . i mean , my brother could never kill anyone , no matter how much he hates them . john : ok .

[ scene_break ] marty : move away ? todd : yeah , that 's the only way . marty : but you 'd be leaving your children behind . todd : they 're not my children anymore anyway . and the only way i 'd have them is to steal them . and then they would n't be mine . marty : but , i mean , the baby -- it 's starr 's . todd : oh , no , no , no , no . no , do n't worry about that . she does n't want that baby around . i mean , she wants to , uh , she wants to live her life as a teenager , right ? the last thing she wants is to be bumping into her kid all over the place , right ? marty : i think you 're making this too simple . todd : this -- this town has caused us nothing but grief , you and me . we do n't owe this town anything , especially you . you do n't even know this place , do you ? marty : only what i see out the window . todd : well , what you can see from the window is as exciting as it gets . godforsaken town . come on . you know you want to get out of here . you want to start a new life . marty : yeah , yeah , i do . todd : then what 's stopping us ? let 's do it . marty : okay , so , yes . we leave . how do we get out of town without people knowing , huh ? and what if john mcbain comes after us and tracks us down ? [ scene_break ] john : do you have a problem with how i am ? about my job ? blair : no . why ? why -- why would i have a problem ? john : well , i 've been told it forces other things in my life to take a backseat . blair : really ? sometimes ? john : a lot of times . that does n't mean i do n't want more . blair : does n't mean that you ca n't have more .

[ lock opening ] tess : well , let 's just see what carlo hesser has to say about that . and -- and , you know , that chamberlain guy , and cain rogan , and , frankly , all the people of mendorra . i think they 'd be really interested to find out how you pulled a fast one over on them . tina : i do n't care . look , just do your worst , all right ? i 'm not going to stand by and watch you destroy natalie . tess : this is an interesting situation . who do you care about more ? sarah or natalie ? tina : what is that supposed to mean ? tess : well , it 's supposed to mean that if you even mumble the word `` tess , `` even in your sleep , i am going to spread the word about your little scam . tina : you would n't . tess : oh , would n't i ? you know , it seems to me that carlo went to an awful lot of trouble to get back at you , and it 's a good thing that sarah 's a good swimmer , because i do n't think she would have survived carlo 's little , you know , water park ride . i wonder what he will do to her when he finds out that you walked off with the jewels . [ scene_break ] carlo : do n't exert yourself , cristian . you 're too far from freedom 's reach , i 'm afraid . cristian : you better hope to hell i am , you sick son of a bitch . carlo : hmm , are you trying to scare me ? cristian : the only reason you 're still alive is because of talia . carlo : oh . cristian : because she sure as hell would n't mind now , would she ? carlo : oh , poor talia . she thinks she 's asserted her independence . cristian : you do n't daughter like her . you do n't deserve crap . carlo : oh , what 's with all of this nasty talk , huh ? not happy with your accommodations ?

[ scene_break ] tina : you would n't really tell carlo hesser . tess : lady , does it look like i 'm playing around here ? tina : yeah , but he 's locked up in a mendorran jail . tess : oh , yeah , you 're right . and he 'll probably just stay there and rot . maybe he 'll take one of those fancy courses , or maybe he might take up a religion , or maybe , just maybe , because he 's kind of a crafty guy , he 'll break the hell out of there and get back to doing what he loves best -- torturing people . [ scene_break ] carlo : you see , cristian , all the time we spent together in dank cells in statesville prison , and in the bowels of a ship very much like this one , i got inside your head , and that is where i will always be .

tess realizes she can not keep tina locked in the basement forever . so she motivates tina to `` help `` her by showing her that she knows that tina stole the jewel and reminding tina that carlo hesser is still at large and will not give up until he finds out who stole the jewels . meanwhile , carlo and his men are holding cristian prisoner and ready to brainwash him . shane makes it clear that he loves brody and recognizes only him as his father and wants nothing more to do with rex . but rex and gigi wonder what to do , given that rex is his real father and they have discovered they are in love . blair and john are getting closer . todd and marty are also getting closer . and he talks her into moving away with him and starting `` anew `` realizing there is no way they can hide forever in llanview .

[ scene_break ] todd : téa 's what ? spit it out . greg : the authorities would n't release her remains to me . i had to make arrangements to have them shipped back separately . todd : and you came all the way over here to tell me that ? greg : yes , i wanted you to know . todd : are you brave or just stupid ? greg : no . i wanted you to know . todd : oh , i get it . you 're confessing now ? greg : i do n't know what you mean . todd : well , at the hospice place , you had no problem keeping quiet about the fact that you hid my wife from me and our daughter . so now the guilt 's starting to eat away at you ? is that it ? greg : no , i was only doing what my patient wanted . todd : your patient had a tumor in her head scrambling her brain . did that ever occur to you , man ? that maybe she was not in her right mind ? what kind of a dying woman would choose to spend her final moments without her family , without the ones she loves around her ? greg : téa changed her mind , okay ? if that makes you feel any better . she wanted you and dani there . she asked for you . uhh ! todd : no , it does n't make me feel any better .

[ scene_break ] natalie : okay , no , this is n't possible . jessica was integrated . i mean , you -- you were whole again -- you were fine . tess : `` you were whole again , you 're fine . `` and then the clouds parted , and the angels sang , and the whole world was at peace . well , i like fairy tales , too , natalie , but how about i tell you what really happened ? you and your slimeball boyfriend , jared -- you killed my husband , you know , the father of my babies . and then jessica , your precious jessica -- she ran and hid . and then i came back to make you pay . natalie : it was an accident . tess : `` it was an accident . `` natalie : jared and i -- we never meant to hurt you or nash . tess : you did n't hurt us , natalie . you killed us when you killed nash . natalie : listen to me , tess . if you want me to suffer , i already am . you do n't need to do this . tess : you do n't know what i need . natalie : you need help . tess : well -- i do n't think so , natalie . you 're the one that needs help . natalie : where am i ? tess : well , this is a special room . i know it 's probably not really your taste , but i had it built just for you . natalie : built where ? what did you do -- you just drugged my tea , and you just dragged me off without anyone seeing ? tess : well , the logistics of the situation do n't really matter , but let 's just say i learned from the best . thanks , mom . natalie : mom ? tess : well , when she was jean randolph , you know , she locked dorian up down here , and nobody found her for , gosh , a really long time . natalie : down here ? in the llanfair basement , that 's where i am ? tess : bingo . natalie , you 're really smart . natalie : what are you going to do with me ? you 're just going to leave me here ? [ tess sighs ] tess : you wish . natalie : what does that mean ? tess : actually , i 'm going to settle the score . [ scene_break ] bo : i wish there was another explanation , talia . talia : no . antonio : we have to consider the possibility . sarah : possibility of what ? bo : hesser could be behind cristian 's disappearance . sarah : no . no , i -- i ca n't believe this . we watched him get hauled away for fraud . he was begging for mercy . talia : he is in that prison , sarah . they had him dead to rights . look , i said my goodbyes . i cut him loose . he could not have escaped from prison . he could n't have left mendorra . [ scene_break ] cristian : your daughter hates your guts . carlo : we have a complex relationship . cristian : she 's going to be dancing on your grave when somebody else kills you . [ carlo laughs ] carlo : i 'll win talia back someday . cristian : dream on , carlo . dream on . [ scene_break ] talia : antonio , you were there . we completely neutralized my father . bo : this is carlo hesser we 're talking about . you said the mendorran authorities put you off when you called them ? sarah : you really think he got away ? bo : hesser 's capable of reaching out from prison to get even . i 'm going to see what 's going on in mendorra . john : i 'll go make a few calls myself . bo : give me the mendorran embassy , please . antonio : i 'm -- i 'll go with you . i need something to keep me busy . john : come on . antonio : the minute i hear something i 'll get back to you . talia : i know -- go . i 'm so sorry that i got you and cris involved in this . sarah : we got ourselves into this . and -- and we knew what we were getting into . i just thought once we were home in the states , we 'd be safe . [ scene_break ] langston : maybe my mom had a brother or a sister or a cousin that she did n't want me to know about because she was embarrassed . starr : okay , but , langston , if she was so embarrassed , would n't she have said something to you , like , `` thank god you never met my cousin wanda because she used to pick her nose at parties `` ? langston : what ? starr : and , look -- if she had a relative that she never talked about , that means that they probably did something really bad . langston : where are you getting this from ? starr : well , the whole thing with my aunt dorian and adriana 's real father -- i mean , she kept him from adriana because he was a major criminal . langston : okay , but having the truth kept from her -- adriana 's never gotten over it . starr : at least she 's alive to be pissed about it . langston : all right , look . i promise i will be careful , okay ? starr : look , langston , i just want you to be safe , because -- well , i -- i like having you around as my foster cousin . langston : i love being your foster cousin . i love this family , and i love dorian . but i just -- i need to know if there is someone out there that i 'm related to . you get that , right ? starr : yeah . i mean , that 's why i made the video for my baby . langston : i was thinking of sending out a blanket letter -- not giving out too much information about myself , you know . make the return address a p.o . box or something , and see if any of these montezes knew my mom before she left colombia . starr : yeah , i mean , if you did that it could totally work . and it would be really cool for you to find a relative . [ scene_break ] ray : american ? what do you want ? jared : get you out of here . [ scene_break ] natalie : are you going to kill me ? tess : oh -- been there , done that . hmm . twice , actually . [ tess laughs ] natalie : how long have you been tess ? i mean , were -- was it right after nash died ? were you the one who was at the funeral ? tess : well , i really have to give credit where credit 's due . that was all jessica . she would have been satisfied , you know , blowing her stack at you a couple of times , and then finally forgiving you while you rutted around town with jared . but i do n't think she ever really would have gotten real revenge , you know ? natalie : that 's because that 's not who she is . tess : yeah , it 's not . she also would n't ask you and jared to move in with her because -- [ as jessica ] she just really needed to have her family around her now . natalie : so that was -- that was you , then . tess : [ as herself ] and the award goes to -- natalie : you know , jared knew something was wrong , and i made excuses for you . tess : oh , natalie , you are a special sister . but as a daughter -- you kind of suck . now , you almost killed viki by convincing her to borrow your car to go to the cottage . natalie : you caused that accident ? tess : snip , snip -- bye - bye , viki . natalie : you 're insane . tess : and then when that did n't work , i spiked the risotto with a special sauce , and trust me , it was a killer . natalie : but you could n't let us eat it . you know , you swept the plates right off the table . tess : oh , come on , that was jessica . she 's such a wimp . she could n't bear to watch you and jared lap up a plate of pesticide , so she kind of -- she screwed that up for me . natalie : jessica will come back , and believe me , tess , she will stop whatever it is you have planned for me . [ scene_break ] ray : you want to get me out of here ? jared : that 's right . ray : you one of those bleeding - heart lawyers come to save the poor prisoner with d.n.a . evidence ? jared : why , do you think you deserve saving ? ray : nope . jared : i did n't think so . ray : who are you ? jared : the name is jeb stuart . i 'm here on a family matter . ray : i look like a family man to you ? jared : you know this woman ? ray : should i ? jared : she 's your niece . your sister linda -- that 's her daughter . ray : last time i saw my sister she was not much older than that . wanted to help the people save the world . she was going to start with me . jared : looks like she had her work cut out for her . ray : we had very little in common . jared : ahem . ray : i have no interest in her or her daughter . [ scene_break ] langston : `` i 'm the teenage daughter of linda wilde , formerly linda montez . my mother married my father , broderick wilde , and moved our family to -- `` what am i thinking ? this needs to be in spanish . starr : hey , lang ? langston : yeah ? starr : when i was complaining about how i look today , you did n't once try to argue with me . langston : oh , starr , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i guess i was just so into this i was n't really listening to what you were saying . starr : oh , it 's okay . but what i do n't get is how cole stopped by here last night , and you have n't once tried to tell me about it . langston : i guess i was just kind of hoping you 'd bring it up first . [ scene_break ] cole : well , i 'm not exactly an expert , but from what i can tell , the thing that makes you cool is that you do n't try so hard to be cool . matthew : well , how do you do that ? cole : well , you know , you wear the clothes that you want , and wear the shoes you want , hang out with whoever you want , and do n't give a crap about what anyone else thinks . matthew : easy for you to say -- you 're going to be a senior . i 'm going to be a freshman . cole : you 're matthew buchanan . all right , you 're a cool , smart kid . matthew : yeah , who still looks like he 's in middle school . if i do n't do something now , i 'm going to get beat up every single day . cole : where are you getting all this stuff from ? matthew : myface . i have , like , 300 friends , and every day i read their news flashes . `` 9 : 15 , shoved in a locker . 10 : 30 , swirlied . noon , got my lunch money stolen . `` cole : okay , okay , listen . i still looked like a sixth grader when i went to ninth grade . matthew : and ? cole : and i grew some , started playing sports -- matthew : all i play is soccer . cole : well , see ? you 're way ahead of the game , then . with all those david beckham moves you got going on there . matthew : shut up . [ cole laughs ] cole : no , seriously , that 's all you need to break the ice . matthew : yeah , i 'm sure hooking up with starr probably boosted up your cool level . [ scene_break ] starr : why were you hoping that i would mention cole first ? langston : well , because we had a long talk last night . starr : okay , well , what did he say ? langston : he talked about , you know , what he was going through , and that thing with karen at the country club . starr : what did he say , langston ? langston : i was just hoping that he told you himself . starr : did something happen ? langston : look -- starr : did something happen with him and karen ? langston : no , starr -- starr : oh , my gosh , no , i knew that something was going to happen , because she was in her skimpy little bikini , and here i am all pregnant . langston : okay , time - out , time - out , time - out . oh , my god -- okay . nothing happened between karen and cole . okay ? okay , well , that 's kind of a lie , something did happen . starr : see , i knew it . langston : not what you think , okay ? karen and her friends were so bimbo - y , and you were so you , that all cole could think about was what you guys had . it just made him miss you even more . [ scene_break ] tess : okay , natalie . let 's click your heels together three times . `` there 's no place like home . there 's no place like home . there 's no place like home . `` wait -- no jessica to the rescue ? natalie : mock me all you want . but my sister stopped you from hurting me before , and she will do it again . tess : oh , that was a fluke . natalie : uh - huh . tess : oh , it was . but if you want to sit there and wait for her to rescue you , you can be my guest . natalie : jess , please -- jess , if you can hear me -- tess : shh -- she ca n't , honey . i got rid of her , for good this time . but you know what ? that dumb bitch did do me one really big favor , popping out one last time to save your sorry lives . because let me tell you , death by risotto was way too painless for you . i am going to hurt you and jared in a way that 's going to last a lifetime . just like you did to me and my babies . [ scene_break ] tina : why did you have to go to africa now ? i mean , viki , could n't the mother teresa thing just wait just a little bit ? because we need you here . because if you were here , then none of this would have happened -- or even if it had , you would -- you would know how to save sarah and me . i -- oh . viki , i do n't know what to do . clint : tina ? tina : uh , clint . hi , i -- i did n't hear the bell . clint : viki gave me the keys . is something wrong ? tina : uh -- um , no . [ tina sniffles ] tina : no , uh , everything is great . [ scene_break ] natalie : if you 're not going to kill me , what is it that you are going to do ? no , no -- no , please . you ca n't hurt jared . you can not kill jared . no ! tess : natalie , natalie . who said anything about killing anyone ? like i said , that would be way too easy . [ scene_break ] carlo : it might behoove you to examine your own dire situation before making assumptions about my daughter . cristian : fine . i 'll behoove . but i 'm not so sure my situation is all that dire . carlo : pray tell . cristian : you see , i have people back in llanview , people who care about me , including your daughter , who i 'm sure is back on the police force already . and i bet you , right about now , she 's wishing that she 'd killed you already . [ scene_break ] talia : i should 've taken that bastard out . who cares if he 's my father ? i would 've been doing a solid for all of humanity . [ scene_break ] carlo : talia would never hurt me . i 'm not worried . [ cristian chuckles ] cristian : well , you should be . talia is a cop again and you know what that means . [ scene_break ] talia : i 'm back on the force now . i can take him out , make it look legal . [ scene_break ] cristian : i bet sarah 's at the l.p.d . right now with her uncle bo and my brother . you see , it 's all about family to me , carlo , same as you . but my family is fighting to keep me alive . everyone that knows you wants you dead . [ scene_break ] bo : i finally got a straight answer from the mendorran authorities . they 've still got chamberlain , but hesser bought his way out . [ scene_break ] cristian : sarah knows there 's nothing you can do to me that you have n't done before . except kill me , of course . but if you were going to do that , i think you would have done it already . [ scene_break ] john : the nypd and the port authority gave us access to search the airport to see if we ca n't find something to tell us what happened to cris . antonio : i 'm going with you . talia : so am i . bo : no , no -- you two are both too close to this case . john will handle it on his own . [ scene_break ] [ carlo laughs ] carlo : bravo ! entertaining performance . cristian : it 's not an act . you can run but you ca n't hide , hesser . not for long . carlo : but , cristian , i can hide you for as long as i like . [ scene_break ] ray : what does my sister want from me ? jared : well , i 'm sorry to have to tell you this , but linda and her husband were killed in a car crash two years ago . ray : and she left that kid ? jared : that 's right . langston . langston wilde . she is 16 years old , she -- ray : what does any of this have to do with me ? [ scene_break ] starr : so cole came over here because he wanted to see me ? langston : well , he tried to act like the only reason he came over was to make sure we could still be friends . starr : well , what did you say ? langston : i told him you always come first with me . and then i pointed out that he could have just called instead of coming over . starr : you did not . langston : oh , i so did . and then he straight up admitted to me that he was hoping that he would run into you . starr : but he did see me and -- i guess he just could n't -- he looked at me and then he just turned around and walked out . langston : i 'm sorry . starr : no , i -- i guess you looking for these relatives that you could feel close to your mom , that 's kind of like how cole feels about this baby , right ? [ scene_break ] ray : i 'm in here for life . what difference does it make if i have a niece ? what can she do for me ? jared : well , it 's what i can do for you . i can get you out of here . ray : so , the big americano comes down to colombia , pockets bulging with money to buy the convicted murderer out of prison . now , why would he do that ? what does he want ? jared : i want you to go to the united states and claim langston as your niece . [ scene_break ] natalie : so murder is definitely off the table . tess : what i have planned for you is so much worse . you and jared are going to break each other 's hearts , just like how you broke mine . you 'll be alive , yeah , but not together . and every second that ticks by , you are going to feel what i feel -- the unbelievable agony of not being able to be with the one that you love . [ scene_break ] clint : what happened ? are you crying ? tina : oh . oh , these are just tears of joy . i have n't seen you in so long , clint . clint : yeah , it 's nice to see you , too , tina . but you are definitely upset about something . tina : uh -- yeah , i was just -- i was just thinking about how -- how much i miss -- i miss viki . i mean , we had a conversation at the airport but it was -- it was very brief , and -- we -- we sure could use her help here . clint : why ? is something wrong with jessica ? [ scene_break ] natalie : how exactly do you plan on keeping jared and me apart ? huh , tess ? i mean , with everything that we 've been through to be together . i mean , and according to you , we turned our backs on our families and caused death and destruction . so we 're just a force to be reckoned with . you know , i am truly , truly sorry for what i did to jessica . but you ? you 're just an angry bitch with an axe to grind . [ scene_break ] matthew : if being a freshman does n't get me killed the first day , then putting my foot in my mouth certainly will . cole : i 'm not mad , all right ? matthew : really ? cole : really . i mean , i 'm really lucky that starr was into me . now , i miss her but i 'm okay . i 'm not going to lose it if you talk about her . matthew : what 's going to happen tomorrow when we go back to school ? you 're going to have to see her every single day . [ scene_break ] langston : maybe me wanting to connect with my mom 's family is a little like cole wanting to raise this baby . starr : it 's a lot like it . langston : okay , but i think he 's trying to get past that . starr : how ? langston : because we 're going back to school , and you and cole are going to be seeing each other every day . maybe he 'll realize he can forgive you . starr : why would he do that ? langston : because last night i got the feeling that he was pretty close . [ scene_break ] cole : look , i do n't know what it 's going to be like to see starr every day . i mean , a part of me is dying to see her and the other part never wants to see her again . matthew : sounds like it 's tough being you . cole : yeah , well , it 's tougher being a freshman . matthew : this is you trying to make me feel better about tomorrow ? cole : look -- look , i 'd try wearing the right clothes , listening to the right music , hanging out with the right people , but you know what ? there was always a group of popular kids that looked like they did n't even have to try . matthew : so , what am i supposed to do ? cole : just be yourself . matthew : i want to be homeschooled . [ scene_break ] starr : i pray every night that cole will forgive me . with going back to school , and after every class , going to my locker and him not standing there . i honestly do n't know how i am going to do it . and then with this baby bump marking me the slut of l.h.s . , it 's just -- langston : starr , you 're not a slut . starr : you should have seen the look on karen 's face , langston . i do n't know which was worse , her thinking that i 'd gained a lot of weight , or realizing that it was a baby bump , which i do n't even know what that means . it 's just -- langston , i -- i do n't know how i 'm going to go back to school . especially -- especially without cole . [ scene_break ] ray : you want me to adopt my niece . jared : all you have to do is pretend to adopt your niece . ray : why ? jared : well , to make the woman who 's taking care of her now believe that she is going to lose her . ray : you 're a sick guy , huh ? jared : all you got to do is make the threat . the rest will take care of itself . ray : and if i do that , i get a ticket out of jail and passage to america . jared : that 's right . we have a deal ? ray : no . [ scene_break ] tina : she 's fine . i mean , jessica 's not fine . but i 'm looking after her , so she 's as -- she 's as well as can be expected . clint : oh . well , thank you for taking an interest . tina : oh , it 's -- it 's no problem . i mean , we 're -- we 're family . so , family sticks together . clint : yeah , yeah , but we should , but lately , all i 've been doing is dealing with the takeover . i mean , that 's not an excuse . i 'm jessie 's father and i need to step up . is -- is she around somewhere ? tina : uh , no , no . she is in the -- the shower . clint : oh . well , then i 'll wait for her . tina : well , can i get you anything ? clint : oh , no . no , thank you . i 'm fine . tina : all righty , then , i 'll just head on out . clint : do n't you want to catch up or something ? tina : oh . yeah , i mean -- of course i do . clint : tina , are you nervous about something ? tina : no . no . clint : cord told me that he saw you . tina : he did ? clint : yeah , he said that the two of you had a nice talk and that you 're trying to take on a more -- well , a more hands - on approach with sarah . tina : yeah . well , it 's about time , do n't you think ? clint : yeah , and it must mean the world to sarah . tina : yeah . well , you know , i 'm not exactly mother of the year yet . but -- but i 'm really trying . clint : yeah . still , it 's far better than the schemer who once covered for niki smith . tina : why would you bring that up now ? [ scene_break ] tess : ooh , natalie 's getting tough . [ tess chuckles ] tess : channeling her inner street fighter . well , let 's see how tough you are when you have to break up with jared . natalie : like hell . tess : hmm , that 's exactly how its going to hurt -- like hell . natalie : you know what , tess ? you can keep me locked up here for the rest of my life , and i will never , ever leave jared . tess : oh , but you already have . he just does n't know it yet . [ scene_break ] bo : how many times do we have to go through this little routine , detective vega ? antonio : with all due respect , sir , but if it comes between my family and this job -- talia : look , i 'm not going to let my father destroy any more lives . john : we 've a lot of ground to cover in new york . bo : get out of here . find your brother . talia : thank you . antonio : thank you , sir . talia : we 'll get cristian back here as soon as possible . [ scene_break ] cristian : so what are you going to do until they find me ? torture me ? try to brainwash me again , hmm ? bring it on ! come on ! carlo : thanks for the invitation , but it is n't necessary . all i want to do is punish you and your brother and sarah for turning talia against me . [ ship 's horn sounds ] carlo : almost there . [ scene_break ] natalie : jared is never going to believe that i 'm breaking up with him . tess : oh , yeah , because you 're love 's too real , too strong , too whatever . natalie : it just is . tess : until it ai n't , natalie . and that happens when i say so . so , uh , enjoy your scrapbook because memories are all i have left of nash . and they 're all you have left of jared . tess : oh , i love peaches . [ scene_break ] jared : i know what it 's like to be locked up in a prison cell day after day with nothing but pushups and dreams to keep you going . ray : you 've been inside ? jared : i got out . but you , you 're looking at , what , another 40 years of this ? and you 'd rather do that then help me out . guess you are as dumb as you look . [ scene_break ] langston : you want to know how you 're going to face the first day of school , and all the other ones after that until you have this baby ? you 're going to do it with me right there by your side . okay ? i switched all my classes so that i can arrange to be in all of yours . all those bitches and wannabes , they 're not just going to have to deal with you , they 're going to have to deal with me , too . starr : i really do n't know what i would do without you . [ scene_break ] cole : matthew , matthew , wait up . wait , look , all you really need to do is figure out what electives you want to take and what clubs to join , that 's all . matthew : yeah , but what if a bully wants to -- cole : a bully is not going to beat up on you . matthew : how do you know ? cole : because i wo n't let them . [ matthew scoffs ] cole : what are you talking about ? get -- get out of here . [ scene_break ] starr : okay , we better get these letters out before aunt dorian gets home . langston : oh , yeah , i do n't want to hurt her feelings . starr : okay , you give me that list and i will start writing on the envelopes while you stuff . okay ? langston : you 're the best . [ scene_break ] ray : this is colombia . just because i 'm in prison does n't mean i ca n't reach out and touch you anytime i want . my life in here is not so bad , you know ? you got to come up with something big if you want me to play uncle to that pretty young girl . [ scene_break ] sarah : cristian bought this for me when we were at the airport leaving mendorra . i know it 's really tacky but it was -- he 'd remind us that we could get through anything . bo : cristian is tough . and he 's smart . and he is going to figure a way to get through this . sarah : i hope so . bo : oh . [ scene_break ] carlo : you and antonio left me to rot in a foreign prison , so i 'm just returning the favor . i 'm taking you to colombia . a place called plato . ever hear of it , hmm ? what ? what ? what ? what ? what ! no matter . you 'll come to know it very well over the years . in the meantime , i 'll give you a taste of the kind of treatment you can expect in your new home . cristian : oh , yeah ? i eat guys like this for breakfast . is that all you got , huh , hesser ? is that all you got ? carlo : enjoy ! cristian : is that all you got ? is that all you got ? [ scene_break ] jared : you 're in no position to play hardball , mr. montez . you either take the deal or you do n't , but decide fast . because i want to get out of this godforsaken place and get home . i have someone waiting for me . [ scene_break ] natalie : oh ! [ scene_break ] clint : i 'm sorry if i offended you but all i 'm saying is that i 'm glad we do n't have to wonder anymore if everything you say is a lie . you -- you have to admit that you were a handful for quite some time . tina : yeah , i -- i know . clint : but now you seem to be turning yourself around . tina : clint , i ca n't do this . i ca n't . i feel so bad . clint : do what ? what 's the matter ?

[ scene_break ] james : cole . what can i do for you ? cole : you can stay away from starr .

[ scene_break ] ford : i wish you 'd gotten here sooner . i do n't like to -- bleed in public . jessica : brody did this ? ford : well , he would 've done more , but there were witnesses . jessica : was he okay when he left ? ford : `` okay `` ? the guy found out that the kid he thought was his could be mine . it 's pretty hard to see the sunny side of that . [ scene_break ] brody : i should n't have walked away . i -- but for weeks , i 've been thinking about this baby as mine , and it -- it never occurred to me -- natalie : well , why would it ? brody : i was hoping jessica would still be here , but now i 'm glad she 's not . i do n't know what to say to her , natalie . natalie : i know . brody : and after she told me , all i wanted to -- all i wanted to do was to find ford and beat the life out of him . and do n't worry . he 's -- he 's not dead . natalie : and did that help ? brody : for about half a second . and then i went right back to being paralyzed . i mean , what am i supposed to do now , huh ? just go on like nothing 's wrong ? wait till the baby 's born and see who it looks like ? [ scene_break ] nate : i thought you were going home to see your dad . dani : i did . nate : what happened ? dani : a couple things . um , my mom 's ashes were delivered to the house today . nate : that must 've been hard . dani : when i got home , my dad was sitting there with the urn or whatever we 're supposed to call it . he was just sitting there , lost . nate : i 'm sorry . dani : it 's just so unreal to think that 's my mom . that that 's all that 's left , is that container . nate : oh , come here . dani : no , i 'm okay . nate : are you sure ? dani : yeah . nate : um , all right . you said a couple things happened . what else ? dani : oh , i got this text message . look . nate : what ? `` i 'm coming for you `` ? who sent this ? dani : well , their number was blocked , but i 'm pretty sure i know where it came from . [ scene_break ] [ doorbell rings ] todd : hey . kelly : hey . i 've been thinking about you . are you all right ? todd : why , because my wife died ? she 's in the living room if you want to go and say hi . kelly : it wo n't always be as horrible as it is today . todd : thank you very much . you can go now . kelly : unfortunately , i ca n't . we still have a paper to publish , and i really need you to weigh in on tomorrow 's lead story . todd : no . scrap it . kelly : for what ? todd : `` bloody brothers : murderous sibs in cahoots in tahiti . `` kelly : what are you talking about ? todd : eli clarke and ross rayburn , partners in crime . kelly : you know that ross has been ali -- todd : alive ? yes . for some time now . kelly : so all of these months , ross has been behind the scenes aiding and abetting ? todd : that 's what `` in cahoots `` means . yes , i know . it 's a lot to figure out , but why do n't you go back to the office and figure it out , okay ? kelly : ok . all right . right after i stop by the police station and get a quote from john mcbain . todd : no , no , no . we do n't need him . kelly : eli was his case . todd : i do n't care . leave him out of it . kelly : okay . what 's going on ? what are you up to this time ? [ scene_break ] starr : what did ford do to jessica ? langston : hmm . the same thing he always does -- got her into bed . starr : no way . are we talking about the same jessica , my cousin ? langston : oh , yeah . i know . i could n't believe it , either . but then brody showed up and started whaling on ford , and it all came out . starr : oh , my god ! langston : i know . brody was crazed . he started accusing ford of taking advantage of jessica , and ford could n't even deny it . i was literally sick to my stomach . starr : that is so awful . langston : no , no , no . what 's awful is that two seconds before brody showed up , ford was making this whole big speech about how he was gon na change his life . he was gon na be a better man , for me . and then i come to find out that the whole reason he was getting himself tested at the hospital that day was because he was afraid that he had gotten hepatitis `` c `` from jessica . starr : i just do n't get it . i mean , she 's so in love with brody . langston : yeah , now . but before -- starr : when she thought she was a teenager ? langston : mm - hmm . i think jessica probably went over to ford 's apartment on prom night looking for cristian , but ended up with ford instead . starr : the night of the prom ? langston : mm - hmm . the same night that i caught him with karen . starr : so after you left , he just -- langston : exactly . he hit on the next woman to walk straight through that door . it did n't matter that she did n't know who she was or what she was doing . starr : that 's pretty disgusting . langston : yeah . you do n't know the half of it . poor jessica . starr : hey , do n't worry about jessica . she 's with brody . she 's getting married . she 's happy . they 're having a baby . langston : yeah , a baby . starr : no , you 're not saying -- langston : oh , that 's exactly what i 'm saying . that baby could be ford 's . [ scene_break ] ford : we had it all worked out . the baby was gon na be brody 's , no matter what , and i was fine with that . i was n't gon na say a word , and i thought you were n't gon na say a word , either ! jessica : i know . i had a sonogram today , and brody kept on looking at the picture , and i just -- i just kept on thinking about how he 's gon na get more and more attached . and then what if he finds out that he might not be the father ? i just -- i could n't chance it . i could n't keep on lying . ford : well , for what it 's worth , i told him i was staying out of it . i told him even if it was my baby , i do n't want it . jessica : yeah , well , if it turns out that it 's your baby , brody might not want it , either . [ scene_break ] brody : you know what gets me ? it 's partly my fault jessica ended up with ford that night . natalie : your fault ? brody : yes . i told her what mitch tried to do to her when she was absolutely not ready to hear it . that 's why she ran and ended up with him . so how can i be mad at her ? i have no right . but for all those months when jessica did n't remember me and she was acting like a teenager , it was hell . and to have it turn out like this -- natalie : yeah , but jessica was n't responsible for her actions . brody : i could say the same thing about myself ! i was n't responsible for sleeping with you because i thought i 'd lost jessica forever and it scrambled my brain . natalie : well , i think alcohol had a big part in that , but jessica 's situation is very different . brody : yeah . yeah . and now , i 'm in a place i never could 've imagined . i might be the father of two children . i might not be the father of any children . and i might be the father of a child with the wrong woman . natalie : okay , you know what ? i do n't even think that that is important right now . brody : do n't kid yourself , natalie . it 's more important than ever . [ scene_break ] todd : you do n't have time for an interview , kelly . you 're on a deadline . kelly : uh , i 'm talking about one comment from the detective -- todd : yeah , i know , and i said no . kelly : why ? you 're afraid that john 's gon na cast a doubt on your so - called exclusive ? do you know if we can not back up what we publish , we are asking for a lawsuit ? todd : and if we do n't sell papers , we 're out of business . kelly : okay , so you 're fine just lying to the public now ? todd : i do n't care about the public . i care about dani . kelly : is she the one you 're lying to ? your own daughter ? [ scene_break ] dani : i 'm pretty sure the text is from my dad . nate : i do n't get it . why would todd send you -- dani : no , not todd . the one i grew up with . nate : oh , ross rayburn ? [ scene_break ] greg : des ? destiny : hey . what are you doing here ? greg : oh , i just wanted to make sure you were safe . destiny : i 'm fine . why would n't i be ? [ scene_break ] dani : maybe ross knows that he could be in some kind of trouble , and that 's why he 's trying to reach out to me . nate : oh , but `` i 'm coming for you `` ? that does n't sound like reaching out , dani . it sounds like a threat . [ scene_break ] brody : i do n't know if you believe in karma , but i think this is it . i made a mistake with you . that mistake might 've created a life . and now the life i thought i had made with jessica is being taken away . natalie : brody , you do n't know that . i mean , there is a much greater chance that you are the father of jessica 's baby , and not robert ford . brody : and your baby is probably john 's , not mine . but does that help you sleep at night ? natalie : oh , man . how weird is this ? my twin sister and i are in almost exactly the same situation . brody : except there 's one big difference now . natalie : what ? brody : jessica told the truth . you and me , we 're still lying . [ scene_break ] jessica : i want this baby to be brody 's more than anything else in the world , but wanting it is not gon na make it true . if i lose him now , i do n't – ford : at least you have hope . i 've already lost langston . we were making good progress , too . and then brody shows up and makes me look like total scum . now she wo n't even look at me . jessica : so ? in 10 minutes , you 'll have someone else . no big deal . ford : i do n't want anybody else . i did n't know how much langston meant to me until i tried living without her . now because of you , she 's out of my life for good . [ scene_break ] langston : even after everything brody said , ford is still making excuses for himself , still saying that he changed , like it 's supposed to matter that all that stuff with jessica happened months ago . starr : if anything could scare someone into changing , i think that hepatitis thing could do the trick . langston : are you defending him ? starr : no , i 'm not ! i 'm just saying that people can change . langston : i guess you 're right , because i 've changed , too . i 'm not the same fool that i once was . so i do n't want to talk to ford , i do n't want to see him , i do n't even want to hear his name . so please do me a favor and do n't use the `` f `` word in my presence ? starr : okay . it 's a deal . langston : thank you . so anyway , why were you so late to class ? starr : cole showed up , and he wanted to talk . langston : well , that 's good , right ? did you guys work things out ? starr : you know , i still ca n't believe that he knew my mom was in trouble and did n't tell me . langston : he was just trying to protect you . starr : i know . langston : so it 's not a big problem . you guys can work it out . starr : the problem is , is that that 's not the only thing coming between us . langston : well , what else is there ? starr : james . [ scene_break ] cole : can i come in ? james : usually when someone throws an ultimatum in my face , i do n't ask them to pull up a chair . cole : i just want to talk to you , man to man . look , you 're new here , so maybe i should cut you some slack . james : about what ? cole : well , you do n't know what it 's been like for me and starr . maybe you think we 're just like any other couple . james : i do n't think that . cole : well , i do n't know what you think , you know , or what you heard , but you do n't know anything about us . i mean , there were times where no one thought that we would survive , but we proved everyone wrong . we even got a beautiful little girl out of it , a little girl that we thought that we had lost . and that changed us , both of us . james : yeah , i can see how it would . cole : no , no , i do n't think you do . you see , we 're not just a couple clueless kids trying to figure out what we want to do when we grow up . we 're already grown up , and unfortunately , we had to do it really fast . james : is there a point to this ? cole : look , the point is , we might be going through a rough time right now , but we 've gone through a lot worse , because we love each other . and we always will . so if you could stop complicating things -- james : hmm . cole : that 'd be really nice . [ scene_break ] greg : it 's just , you know , first day back at school . you know , there are all these stories in the news -- people staking out their turf , a lot of hazing going on . destiny : hazing ? if you 're a freshman , maybe , but i 'm a junior . greg : so can i assume everyone 's treating my sister right ? destiny : they 're treating me fine . but you 're acting a little strange . greg : is it strange to make sure nothing bad happens to the people that i love ? destiny : no . oh , i get it . greg : what ? destiny : this is n't about me . it 's about what happened to dani 's mom . [ scene_break ] dani : i know it might sound like a threat , but it 's not . nate : `` i 'm coming for you `` ? dani : no , it 's a game that we used to play when i was little . when you live near the ocean , you needed to be a strong swimmer . so ross would take me out into the water , and he 'd pretend to be a sea monster and he 'd say , `` i 'm coming for you . `` and it was my job to swim away as fast as i could . nate : i bet you 're ready for a triathlon after that . dani : even when i got older , whenever we 'd be in the water , he 'd still say `` i 'm coming for you `` just to make me smile . nate : so why do you think he 's saying it now ? dani : i wish i knew . nate : what does your dad think ? dani : i did n't tell him what the text said . when i got the text , i lied and said it was from you . nate : you lied ? dani : yeah . but i think he might 've lied to me first . [ scene_break ] kelly : are you really thinking about using your newspaper to lie to your own daughter ? todd : yeah . i need a little backup right now . kelly : for what ? todd : she 's talking about telling ross about téa 's death , and so i got to nip that in the bud . kelly : so you told her that ross was involved in his brother 's crimes ? todd : yeah , something like that . kelly : you have no idea if that 's true . todd : it could be . it 's not as if ross is mr. law - abiding . kelly : we are talking about more than that . you want dani to think the man who raised her is a murderer . todd : how do you know he 's not ? kelly : todd , this is extreme . todd : well , extreme is sometimes the only way to go . right now , i do n't care that she grew up calling him `` daddy . `` she and i have finally bonded , and i do n't want that to change . kelly : look , i can understand that . todd : really ? i do n't know if you do . i just lost my wife . i 'm not gon na lose my daughter , too . kelly : dani might 've been raised by ross , but you are her father . you are not gon na lose her now . no . todd : i do n't know . téa warned me that if ross found out about her death , that i 'd have to deal with him at some point . kelly : does he even know about téa yet ? she has n't reached out to him or anything , has she ? todd : no . but the fact that she wants to makes me nervous . kelly : and your answer to that is to turn him into a cold - blooded killer ? okay , do you think téa would approve of this ? todd : maybe she does n't . i feel like she 's watching me all the time . kelly : you know , maybe she 's trying to tell you something . i do not think you need to demonize ross rayburn to keep dani close to you . i think you need to trust what you have built with her , todd . todd : trust is not my strong suit , kelly . kelly : tell your daughter the truth . because if she finds out you lied to her about someone she cares about , you really will lose her . [ scene_break ] dani : my dad told me that ross was a part of all the terrible things that his brother did . nate : you think that 's not true ? dani : it ca n't be . i mean , ross -- i 've known him my whole life . he was always so great to me . and , yes , he got out of control last year , but still . i ca n't imagine him helping his brother kill people . nate : so maybe you 're right and todd 's lying . dani : yeah , but todd 's done some bad things , too , before i met him . but he did really come through for us when we needed him . and he was so amazing with my mom . i mean , he would 've gone to the ends of the earth just so that we could be together before she died . nate : i wish you would 've made it in time . dani : yeah . it almost killed him when dr. evans told him that she changed her mind , that she wanted us there , but we were too late . [ scene_break ] destiny : when téa died , that was like proof that bad things can happen . so it makes sense you 're a little overprotective . greg : yeah . i 'm glad that you understand . destiny : i know you . but a lot of people think that you 're all about work , that it 's all you care about . but you have feelings , just like everyone else . you need shaun and me to take you out for burgers at rodi 's . trust me , you 'll feel much better . greg : that 's very nice of you , but i 'm not gon na be around . i -- i have to go out of town . destiny : where ? that 's okay . you do n't have to tell me . you lost a patient , and it got to you . if you need time alone to clear your head , go for it . greg : you 're the greatest , you know that ? destiny : of course . greg : be good , okay ? and be careful . and never forget that i love you . [ scene_break ] james : how am i complicating things ? cole : by telling starr that you want to be more than just her friend . james : why would n't i want that ? starr 's awesome . but she made it very clear that you guys are together . so i told her i was sorry and i backed off . but are you saying i 'm not allowed to be her friend now ? [ scene_break ] starr : cole made a couple snarky comments to james about us being in the same class together and he brought up james ' past , and it got awkward . langston : so cole still sees james as a threat ? starr : yes , even though i keep telling him a million times that he has nothing to worry about . it 's so frustrating . do i get on his case every time he goes to st. ann 's to go see hannah ? langston : oh , you do n't ? starr : okay , maybe i have once or twice , but -- what ? langston : well , love is a battlefield , right ? i mean , at least when you and cole fight , you have what it takes to stay together . that 's not like me and ford . i just need to pretend that he never existed . [ scene_break ] ford : i told langston i wanted to change , and she was ready to believe me . but then brody shows up , and i 'm dead in the water . he put the worst possible spin on what happened between you and me . jessica : it happened because you let hit happen . ford : jessica , you came to me . i did n't force you to do anything . jessica : you knew i was messed up . you should 've just told me to go home ! ford : right . blame me for everything . jessica : no , i ca n't . i wish i could , but i have to take some responsibility for this . i was hurt and angry , and i did something really , really stupid . we 're both guilty . the only one that has n't done anything wrong is brody . [ scene_break ] natalie : i hate this as much as you do , brody . you have no idea how many times i 've come this close to telling john the truth . brody : but something stopped you ? natalie : yeah . this last time it was marty . yeah , she sucked it up real big and congratulated john on getting a second chance at being a dad . so there went my best - laid plans , straight to hell . brody : john 's still in the dark ? natalie : for now . brody : things have changed , natalie , since jessica did what she did . natalie : i know . brody : it 's not right for her to beat herself up about things that i 've done myself ! she deserves to know she 's not the only one who made a mistake . natalie : okay . so what are you saying ? are you gon na tell jessica that her sister slept with her boyfriend ? brody : how can i not ? brody : jessica is torturing herself over this , wondering if i can forgive her . do you think she 'd be asking that question if she knew i was guilty of the same damn thing ? it 's not fair . natalie : okay . but on the other hand , is it fair -- is it fair that two couples that love each other have to break up , for two innocent children to grow up with questions and confusion ? brody : it would n't have to be that way . natalie : it 's not even been a year since john lost his child , and then for me to tell him that he might be losing another one ? even if it 's the smallest chance , it would be cruel ! brody : maybe so . natalie : and jessica -- she needs time to heal . after what happened with mitch , are we just supposed to pull the rug out from underneath her again ? brody : i 'm barely holding it together myself . i do n't want us both to -- natalie : you and jessica love each other , okay ? you 'll get married and you will raise that child , and that baby will be yours in every single way that counts . is n't that just -- is n't that what 's best for everyone ? [ scene_break ] langston : i 'm sorry things are n't back on track yet . but when two people love each other , there 's no problem too big for them to solve . starr : have you been hanging out in the greeting card section lately ? langston : all right , i do n't care how lame it sounds , it 's true . you and cole have everything it takes to stay together . starr : well , then why does n't it feel that way ? every word that i say , he finds something in it that i did n't mean . and every word he says , i find a way for it to hurt my feelings . langston : well , maybe you just need to erase the board and start over . starr : how ? langston : well , instead of focusing on the past couple of months , you should go back and remember what it was like in the beginning -- how you felt when you first met . starr : we started out as friends , and i had no idea that friendship could turn into so much more . [ scene_break ] cole : i would never tell you you could n't be starr 's friend . you see , the problem is , i still think you want more . james : dude , i just told you -- cole : i know what you just told me . but i also know what i saw in that classroom before when you were trying to `` make her feel better . `` james : that 's what friends do -- try and make the hard times a little easier . cole : do they also wear a bullet on a chain around their neck , huh , to constantly remind the other person of some great adventure they shared ? james : is that why you think i wear this ? cole : yeah , it 's pretty obvious . james : pretty wrong . [ cole chuckles ] james : i wear this because it reminds me how close i came to dying , and i need to make sure that i make every minute count of every day from now on . maybe you should do the same . stop worrying about me and starr . start worrying about you and starr before you lose the best thing that ever happened to you . [ scene_break ] nate : if you wanted to contact ross , how would you go about it ? dani : i 'm not exactly sure where he is . todd might now , but i obviously ca n't ask him . nate : do you think ross found out your mom died ? dani : well , that would explain why he 's trying to get in touch with me . nate : he could seriously be coming for you . i mean , suppose he 's on his way here right now . what do you when he shows up ? are you gon na have to choose between him and todd ? [ scene_break ] todd : so i 'm supposed to just tell dani that i lied ? kelly : you tell her that you made ross out to be worse than he is for your own selfish reasons . todd : oh , yes , that 'll win her respect -- have her believe that i 'm a liar . kelly : you know what ? it might make he realize how much she means to you . todd : you 're kind of a `` glass half full `` type chick , are n't you ? kelly : yeah . i 'm serious . you know what ? phony headlines that could be torn apart -- that is not gon na keep you and dani close . but being honest ? that might help . todd : okay . i 'll think about it . kelly : you know what your trouble is , todd ? todd : no . kelly : when you start to feel cornered , you do something crazy . todd : yeah ? like what ? kelly : like kissing me . todd : that 's right . and i did that why , according to you ? kelly : téa was dying , and you were scared . i think we 've avoided talking about this kiss for a while . we 've waited long enough , do n't you think ? [ scene_break ] dani : well , if you 'd asked me a year ago who i 'd choose to be my dad , it 'd be a no - brainer . ross was the only father i 'd ever known . plus , when i first found out about todd , i hated him . nate : and now ? dani : now things are different . i mean , when i lied to him and told him the text was from you , i felt horrible . almost as bad as if i 'd lied to my mom . nate : so maybe you should do something about it . dani : yeah , i should tell him , right ? i mean , it 's just a message . and besides , it 's not like ross could actually come here . they 'd arrest him . nate : so i guess you 'll never have to choose between two dads . dani : thank god . [ scene_break ] todd : why do we need to talk about it ? kelly : because i kissed you back . todd : oh , boy , you sure read a lot into that one kiss . kelly : well , you know what ? i probably would n't have taken it seriously if i had n't been in such a weird place . i was trying to figure out where kevin fit in my life and what was going on with that whole reed thing . todd : but you got it all figured out now ? kelly : yes . i know when you kissed me , it had nothing to do with me . you were clearly upset about something else . now i know it was téa . todd : have you been hanging out with marty saybrooke ? kelly : ha ha ha ! it does n't take a professional to figure out that todd manning does n't talk about his feelings . so now that we have this all out in the open , we can forget it , not let it affect work or our friendship . todd : our friendship ? kelly : mm - him . the one i hope that we can have . [ scene_break ] james : look , man , i do n't know what you want from me . cole : i want to know that i can trust you . james : i get that you and starr are together . okay ? i wo n't get in your way . cole : well , okay . good . i guess that 's all i can ask of you , huh ? james : it 's pretty much the same thing i 've been saying for a while now . cole : huh . funny . it sounds a little different when we 're not at each other 's throats there , right ? james : look , all i want is for starr to be happy . and if you make her happy , great . but if you do n't -- cole : `` if i do n't `` -- what ? james : you 're getting your chance . do n't screw it up . [ scene_break ] starr : i got to go , but thank you for everything that you said . langston : well , next time i 'll just buy a card and save us both some time . starr : you were right , though . cole and i should go back to the beginning , instead of letting things get so complicated . langston : yeah , well , here 's to simplicity . ford made things a lot simpler when he decided to back out of teaching this class . starr : the only reason he did that was so that he could go out with you . langston : well , that 's not gon na happen . i do n't have to be in the same room with him now , and that 's all that matters . i do n't ever want to see him again . starr : okay . bye . [ scene_break ] ford : you 're not the only one who 's hurt . i 'm just saying -- jessica : fine . okay . but you 're not about to marry langston , and she 's not having a baby , so our situations are a little different , do n't you think ? ford : whoa . where are you going ? jessica : i 'm going to find brody and pray that somehow he has the strength to deal with this . ford : hey , it 's obvious he loves you . jessica : well , he used to . but now i do n't know . ford : are you kidding ? it 's only because of you he decided to spare my life . so do n't give up on him . you guys are gon na get through this . jessica : i hope so , with all my heart . [ scene_break ] brody : [ sighs ] every time i think i know what i have to do , i hit a wall . if i tell jessica i slept with you , is it gon na look like i 'm just trying to get back at her for the thing with ford ? natalie : i do n't know , brody . i do n't have the answers . i ca n't tell you what to do . brody : i 'm not asking you to . natalie : but if you decide to come clean with jessica , i will deal with the fallout . but please , just do one thing for me . brody : what ? natalie : you 've got to come and tell me right away . brody : of course . i promise . i promise . natalie : [ sighs ] and , brody ? you got to try to remember the good side of this . we got two brand - new lives , two miracles that could really bring a lot of joy to our lives if we let them . [ scene_break ] cole : starr . hey , when 's your next class ? starr : in a half an hour . cole : mine , too . you want to grab some coffee first ? starr : i would really like that . [ scene_break ] james : you could 've told me you were gon na blow off that writing class . i would n't have done the reading . ford : sorry to inconvenience you . james : well , so do i still get to audit the class for free if my brother 's not teaching it ? ford : no , i changed my mind . i 'm gon na teach it . james : dude , but i thought that you dropped the class so langston would n't be your student and you guys could go out . ford : that was the plan . looks like there wo n't be a conflict of interest after all . [ scene_break ] natalie : hey , john , it 's me . i 'm just letting you know i 'm heading back down to the station , and i was hoping maybe we could just take a minute and look at our baby 's picture again . this kid 's gon na be a real looker . i hope that he or she has your eyes .

[ scene_break ] rex : gigi made sure that shane fell in love with the idea of his hero father . and then brody showed up for real . shane 's crazy about him . bo : does this guy , brody , think that he is the kid 's dad ? rex : no . he knows it 's me . bo : hmm . did he know that when he showed up at the wedding ? rex : yeah . and he knows how gigi feels about me , and he still wants to be shane 's dad . bo : why ? what 's he want ? he wants gigi ? rex : probably . maybe he got a taste of the father figure and found out he liked it . bo : you want me to check into this guy ? rex : no , i already did that . i could n't get into his military files , and other than a couple of bar fights , he 's clean . bo : god , this is a tough situation . rex : yeah . what 's the truth going to do to that kid ? i only thought that charlie was my dad for a few months , and it knocked me on my ass when i found out the truth . bo : yeah , but do n't let what happened with you and charlie cloud your judgment . this is a totally different situation . rex : no kidding . shane 's got two guys that want to be his dad . when i was his age , i would 've been lucky to have one . bo : what 's the next step ? rex : i do n't know . bo : you know , i remember that shane was pretty crazy about you , too . rex : yeah , that was before . brody 's trying to turn shane against me , and it 's working . that 's why i 'm considering -- bo : what ? rex : maybe the best thing i can do for my son is not be his father . [ scene_break ] brody : i was in special ops . do you really think it was that hard for me to get a hold of some of rex balsom 's d.n.a . ? gigi : do you know how weird that sounds ? brody : do n't be cute . i did what i had to do to try to protect shane in case you and rex never came back . you put me in the middle of this situation , geeg . gigi : i know . i 'm sorry . brody : look , i made you a promise 10 years ago . i 'm just keeping it . gigi : 10 years ago , you thought you were going to come back home and you and shane and i would be a family . brody : and we are now . gigi : no , we are not . shane is rex 's son . oh , god , look , i 'm grateful for everything you 've done , but gratitude is as far as it goes . i 'm in love with rex and nothing is going to change that . [ scene_break ] bo : so , you 're willing to just step aside , let this guy brody just keep pretending that he 's your son 's father . rex : well , when you say it like that , it makes -- bo : how else am i going to say it ? rex : i would love to be shane 's father . i just -- i do n't want to screw up his life . bo : you 're sure that 's what you 'd do ? rex : i know what he 's been through . i know what it 's like growing up without a father , going to little league games and -- and peewee football when every other kid has his dad there watching . i should have been there . bo : and now ? rex : now shane has a dad he 's crazy about . bo : ah . rex : i remember how glad i felt when i thought that charlie was my father . you should see shane 's face whenever he 's with brody or whenever he talks about him . bo : you know , you keep talking about what it was like when you found out about charlie . what about when you found out that the whole thing was a lie ? now , can you guarantee that shane would never find out the truth ? what 'll it do to him if he does ? rex : tell me what to do . bo : no , no , no . balsom , you 're a grown man . this is your decision . rex : you 're right . whenever you are living a lie , it always hurts when you find out the truth . and the bottom line is shane 's living a lie .

[ bo sighs ] bo : the worst mistake that i ever made was not being there when my -- my son drew was growing up . i did just what you 're doing right now . i justified it by telling myself that he was much better off not being under the buchanan influence but that -- that 's nothing but an excuse . and i used it because deep down i was just afraid i 'd be a lousy dad . rex : shane could still end up hating me . bo : do you want him to be your son ? rex : yes . bo : okay . then you 've got to get the truth out , right now . no , he 's -- he 's probably going to be angry with you and with his mother . this is just the start . balsom , you know what i 'm talking about ? rex : yeah . what do you mean ? [ scene_break ] bo : i mean the days of you thinking of yourself first , those are over . every day you have to let shane know that you 're there for him , you know ? to hang out with him , to -- to talk to him about , i do n't know , school , sports , girls . you have to make him know that you are in it for the long haul . you 're his dad for life . believe me ; i know what i 'm talking about . i think about my son drew and , i 'll tell you , balsom , you do n't want to live with that kind of regret . [ scene_break ] gigi : brody -- brody : you made your point . gigi : i 'm sorry if i hurt your feelings , but i ca n't keep denying mine . i tried to convince myself for the last 10 years that i was over rex , but the minute that he came back into my life , i realized i was wrong . i love him . brody : you know , maybe it was good my mother told you i was dead . otherwise , we might have gotten married , had a -- had a kid or two of our own and then rex would 've showed up and screwed the whole family up . gigi : i really hate what i put you through , i do . but i 'm going to need you to do one more thing for me . i need you to let shane and me go . brody : you really think i did all this just for you ? you think i only let shane call me `` dad `` because i was so madly in love with you ? gigi : why did you do it ? shane : you were talking about me , were n't you ? [ scene_break ] dorian : magnificent . starr : it 's so good . dorian : it 's perfection . that is , if you like it . langston : no , i -- i like it . i just , you know , i think i might lose the hat . dorian : oh , no , no , no , no , no , do n't touch it . just give it a little bit more time . langston : okay , time , got it . dorian : good , good , good . and now , it 's your turn . yes , indeed , young lady . you have to try some of these things on . starr : do they have big hats , too ? because i would love to take it off and just hide my ginormous stomach with it . dorian : you look beautiful , okay , and when you see these things , i think you 're going to be very pleasantly surprised . starr : all right , wish me luck . langston : luck . [ langston chuckles ] langston : so , you did n't have to buy me all these new clothes . dorian : i wanted to . i wanted to do something special for my girls and make them happy . [ langston sighs ] dorian : sweetheart , what 's the matter ? langston : nothing , it 's -- when you call me one of your girls , i feel so special . and now i feel guilty . dorian : why ? langston : because some phony psychic tells me that i may have a relative out there somewhere , and i 'm all over it . i mean , why am i looking for someone that i do n't even know just because we share the same last name ? you , starr , and blair , you show me a real family , right here . [ scene_break ] jared : ready to go ? ray : yes , i am . i 'm so anxious to , uh , meet my niece . what was that odd name again ? jared : langston . [ scene_break ] tina : jessica is not telling the whole story . [ scene_break ] natalie : just say it , aunt tina . just say that she 's tess . [ scene_break ] tina : jessica told me that natalie is being very pushy , very pushy and demanding . [ scene_break ] natalie : i do n't believe this . she 's got aunt tina fooled , too . [ scene_break ] clint : maybe i should have a little talk with natalie . tess : [ as jessica ] oh , dad , it 's okay . that 's not necessary . clint : oh , sarah , i 'm going to do everything possible to make sure that cristian gets back safely . sarah : thanks , grandpa . tina : yeah , come on , sweetie . tess : oh , aunt tina , i -- i just really wanted to thank you for making me tell the truth to my dad about natalie and i , you know ? it feels so much better to get that off my chest , you know ? tina : hmm . yeah . good . i want what 's best for you . tess : yeah , tina , you 're a real gem . tina : yeah . clint : jessie , i do n't want you to fret about this situation with natalie . tess : thanks , dad . i -- i think maybe i was wrong to ask her to move in here . i just think that – [ scene_break ] natalie : dad , please -- ca n't you see what she 's doing ? [ scene_break ] clint : are you going to be all right , sweetheart ? tess : yeah , dad , thanks . clint : all right . do n't you worry about carlo hesser , either , because i 'm going to get a hold of uncle bo about that . tess : oh , please do that . clint : yeah . and if you want , i could have that talk with natalie . tess : oh , no , dad , it 's okay . hmm , i have everything under control . clint : all right . i love you . tess : i love you . tess : [ as herself ] like i said , i 've got everything under control . [ scene_break ] natalie : you bitch . [ scene_break ] warden : good luck in your new life , montez . make the best of it because if you return to plato , it wo n't be so quite comfortable for you . jared : uh , take him to the limo , please ? ray : i got a limo ? jared : hmm , only the best for friends of the family . oh , and do n't be getting any ideas , montez . we have the power to get you out of here . that means we have the power to put you right back . warden : let 's go . [ phone rings ] clint : jared ? give me good news . jared : it 's done . clint : any problems ? jared : none . we should be back in llanview by the end of the day . clint : and i should have the company back from dorian by the end of the week . [ scene_break ] dorian : you know , there 's nothing for you to feel guilty about . it 's perfectly natural for you to be curious , so -- would you feel any better if you knew whether or not delphina was right ? langston : yeah , i mean , if she 'd never said it , if she 'd never been so right about all those other things then maybe it would n't have mattered but now it does . dorian : fine . tell you what i 'm going to do , i 'm going to have every name on this list investigated and if any one of these people is related to you , well , we 're going to find out . langston : you would do that for me ? dorian : actually , i 'm not doing it for you . i 'm doing it for myself . langston : what do you mean ? dorian : i do n't want you to be my foster daughter anymore . langston : you do n't ? dorian : i would like you to do me the honor of allowing me to legally adopt you as my daughter . [ scene_break ] warden : welcome to plato . i can promise you , you wo n't be enjoying your stay here . cristian : people are already looking for me . they 'll find me . warden : and who will they be looking for ? uh , cristian vega ? we have no cristian vega here . take him . [ scene_break ] gigi : not everything 's always about you , kiddo . brody : yeah , we were just talking about dinner tonight . shane : are we all having dinner together ? brody : you and me tonight . your mom has to work . shane : then i think we need to have this talk now . gigi : what talk ? shane : what are you doing here ? gigi : shane . rex : well , i came here to talk to brody , but i 'm glad your mom and you are here , too . shane : well , you 're going to have to wait because we 're having a family meeting . rex : then i guess it 's a good thing i 'm here .
while langston and dorian are bonding and contemplating what it would mean if dorian adopted her permanently , jared is secretly meeting with langston 's uncle who is in prison . ironically , langston is searching for biological family on the internet , unknowing . tess makes certain that tina does not inform clint nor sara what she has done to natalie nor inform them that she is tess . sara is very worried about what has happened to cristian while he is missing in action . carlo hesser and his men are going to imprison and torture cristian after he 's told them cristian is a murderer . and it sounds like they will `` de - program `` him and make him forget who he is . rex goes to talk to bo discussing his dilemma involving gigi and shane . he does n't know whether he should let shane believe the lie that brody is his father or let him know the truth even though at the present time , shane hates him and loves brody . gigi and brody discuss the same thing while they are working together at rodi 's .

[ scene_break ] shaun : what 's with the looks ? mrs. evans : you scared us , baby . shaun : i 'm not going nowhere . destiny : like i said , they do n't listen . i told mama you 'd be up by this afternoon . mr. evans : ignore these women . do n't you do a thing until you are ready . shaun : i 'm ready . i 've got reason to get moving .

[ scene_break ] john : sergei , i swear , if you hurt either one of those girls , i will hunt you down -- sergei : then you wo n't deal with me ? he plays with me now , this john mcbain . he gives me excuses like i am idiot child and i do not know how little time it takes to put fuel in an airplane . john : listen to me . if i do n't hear starr 's voice right now , i swear , i will hunt you down and i 'll kill you . starr : hope and i are okay ! we 're alive !

[ hope continues crying ] starr : yes . here . here , here . [ hope quiets down ] sergei : watch her . evgeny : you say come here for big payday , hmm ? not baby - sit . sergei : these girls are very rich , very important . they will get us home safe and with lots of cash . evgeny : ugh , that baby is hurting my ears with that crying . sergei : we will drug them for flight . vlad : we 're taking them with us ? sergei : what do you think ? vlad : we dump them from the plane . sergei : then u.s. air force shoots us down . only way we land safe are with these little girls . vlad : then what do we do with them ? sergei : we sell them back to their rich daddy -- or whoever pays the most . [ scene_break ] schuyler : why would you think i was leaving ? gigi : because that 's what you said the last time i saw you . schuyler : yeah , but you said it was a crummy idea . gigi : it was . schuyler : well , you still think so , or you change your mind ? gigi : no . i do n't want you to leave . especially because rex told you to do it . schuyler : yeah . yeah , me , neither . so yeah , i 'm staying . gigi : excellent ! what convinced you to stay ? schuyler : you did .

[ scene_break ] john : what about brody ? we feed him any more information ? bo : can you get a fix on how far in from the river the entrance is ? can this equipment do that ? oliver : yeah . well , from asher 's description , it should be here , but brody 's tracking device puts him right about there . john : so he should be in . oliver : well , it could be that the estimate 's a few yards off . bo : or it could be that asher fed us a line of bull . john : we 'll know soon enough . [ scene_break ] vlad : sergei , they 're in full body armor , assault rifles . they 're not here to negotiate . sergei : and yet , we see them . vlad : yes . sergei : why ? vlad : huh ? sergei : if mcbain and cops wanted to make a siege , why are they not shooting ?

[ scene_break ] gigi : i ca n't blame rex for wanting to do right by his kid . schuyler : yeah , but that does n't mean you have to pretend that you 're okay with him spending time with stacy . gigi : especially if she 's still playing him . schuyler : uh -- i 'm sorry , am i missing something ? gigi : stacy faked being shane 's stem cell match , did n't she ? so what if there 's more to this story , too ? [ scene_break ] stacy : doctor , just tell me . i already have a feeling . dr. baez : about what ? stacy : well , something 's not right with this pregnancy .

[ scene_break ] schuyler : well , what do you think 's going on ? gigi : this . [ scene_break ] dr. baez : why do you think something 's wrong , stacy ? stacy : well , because a while back , i had this spotting , and -- dr. baez : well , it did n't prevent you from getting pregnant . stacy : wait -- what ? dr. baez : your tests show that you 're a few days pregnant . [ scene_break ] schuyler : are you ... pregnant ? gigi : no ! no . good grief . rex and i have enough to handle without another kid in the mix . schuyler : okay , okay . all right . i taught biology . i 'm still a guy , though . i mean -- so what 's the deal with the test ? gigi : i found it in stacy 's garbage . schuyler : so ? gigi : so ? what does a pregnant woman need with a home pregnancy test ? schuyler : i do n't know . gigi : do you think it 's possible that stacy is n't really pregnant ? [ scene_break ] stacy : i ca n't be pregnant . dr. baez : the -- the results are right here . stacy : okay , but i took one of those home pregnancy tests . dr. baez : you can get a false negative from those , especially this early on . stacy : how early ? dr. baez : according to your hcg levels , i 'd say about three days -- a week at the most . stacy : it worked . dr. baez : what did ? stacy : i 'm pregnant ! i mean , you 're , like , absolutely , 100 % sure ? dr. baez : yes , the results are right here .

[ scene_break ] brody : shane , what 's going on ? shane : not much . i had the first day of school today . brody : you still at llanview high ? shane : yeah . there was this private school that i could 've gone to , but things would 've been even worse there . i would n't have known anyone , and then they would 've eventually found out that i tried -- you know . brody : yeah , yeah . i know . shane : and then they 'd find out about my mom dying and having cancer and everything . at least at lhs , everyone knows everything that 's happened to me already . brody : well , from what i 've heard , most great artists have unhappy childhoods . shane : i guess i 'll be some kind of genius , then . brody : definitely . so how 'd it go ? shane : at least jack manning was n't there . [ scene_break ] jack : what do you mean , scarface did n't do it ? he hated dad . he blamed him for every bad thing that ever happened to him . starr : were you right about who he was ? jack : just 'cause someone 's your biological -- starr : jack , answer me . were you right , or were you wrong ? you were wrong because you were biased , and that 's understandable because you loved victor . jack : he was my father , and scarface killed him . starr : he is dead , jack , and even though we hate it , it was n't him . jack : how do you know this ? starr : because he came over here and he told me himself . jack : wait . he was here ? starr : yes , before -- jack : the cops let him go ? starr : there 's no evidence , ok ? jack : what is wrong with you people ? starr : the cops do n't think that he 's guilty . jack : i saw scarface at the safe . i saw his take the gun . starr : yes . just because he took it does not mean that he used it . he never went to victor 's . he never knocked you out . jack : you do n't know that . starr : you do n't know that , either . you do n't know who knocked you out cold , and you do n't know who killed victor .

[ gunshot ] shaun : that 's a man being murdered , a man not everybody loved , but i 've got to say , i 'm gon na miss victor lord . he treated me ok , and when he did n't i let him know , and he heard me . john : you ca n't ask for more than that . shaun : and téa , she 's good people , and dani -- oh , my god . from what i can make of it , it sounds like mr. lord needed me for a security job for blair . maybe she thought something was wrong . john : that seems to make sense . shaun : so what does that recording tell you ? [ scene_break ] natalie : you 're judging me ? that 's pretty funny . i mean , it would be if you had your facts straight . who you been talking to -- jess ? todd : yeah , and after what she said , i 'm surprised to see you here . natalie : well , i came for liam 's jacket . i left it when i moved out , thought i could sneak into the house without running into anybody , but i was n't aware that mom got an attack dog . todd : if you really wanted to stick it to your twin , stealing her fiancé and then moving in with him , it 's a great kind of one - two combination . natalie : yes . well , at least i did n't kill my twin , which is more than i can say for you . [ scene_break ] victor 's voice : hello ? so -- oh , my god , what the hell are you doing here ? [ gunshot ] shaun : so ? john : it tells me a couple things , right ? there was no fight . there 's no confrontation . the intruder , he let himself in . he surprised victor , and he shot him without saying a word . shaun : sounds like a pro . john : it was definitely premeditated . shaun : we 're talking murder one . [ scene_break ] todd : i did n't kill my twin , although i really wanted to , and your friends -- sorry -- your really good friends at the police department , they agree with me because that kicked me loose . they got nothing on me . they ca n't prove that i had anything to do with victor 's death . natalie : well , once we get the murder weapon -- todd : you 're gon na cross me right off the list , because i did n't do it . i did n't fire the weapon . i only gave the gun to louie . natalie : louie . right . down at the docks . i heard about that one , and then john sent brody down to the docks , and -- guess what -- no louie , no gun . todd : yeah . that 's because your boyfriend brady , he 's not a very good police officer . either that , or he was n't looking for louie . natalie : are you saying that brody would bury evidence ? todd : i do n't know . you think brandy 's got it in for me ? natalie : he does n't even know you . todd : exactly . so why do n't you all stop behaving like little children and pointing fingers and be grown - up cops and find the weapon and clear my name ? i spent 8 years locked up . i have no intention of ever going back to a cell . natalie : please . uncle todd that we all know and love would do anything to stay out of jail . he 'd destroy evidence , buy out a judge , whatever it takes . i mean , what 's a little thing like a murder conviction to stand in your way ? todd : you have children now , right ? you have a child ? and you still do n't get it ? i did n't see my kids for 8 years . now that i 'm finally with them , the last thing i need is them thinking that i killed their so - called father , especially jack . [ scene_break ] jack : yeah . i got knocked out by scarface . ca n't the cops check the gun he stole ? ca n't they prove that 's what killed dad ? starr : dad gave the gun to a homeless guy so that he could turn it in , one of those guns - for - cash type of deals . they have n't found the gun . they have n't found the guy . jack : do n't give me that fairy tale . you really believe that ? `` oh , i gave the gun to a homeless guy who '' big surprise -- '' disappeared . `` starr : you know that guy as well as i do . he 's always hanging out at the docks . jack : scarface probably shot him , too . starr : now he 's a serial killer . jack : all i know is , he shot dad and got rid of the gun . it 's the only logical explanation . the cops find the gun , they 'll have their killer . starr : and i agree with you , but it wo n't be dad .

[ scene_break ] echo : so , what made you change your mind ? rex : well , i realized you were right . it 's not safe having a gauguin in the house , not with shane 's history . echo : or yours , considering how you feel about jack manning . rex : i could n't shoot a kid , no matter how much of a psycho he is , just like i could n't s shoot his father . echo : of course not . rex : glad you finally believe me . echo : so ? roxy : no bandages , no morris . rex : you 'll find him . look . i want to go check in on shane , see how his first day of school went . roxy and echo : tell him i love him . rex : i will . echo : that was close , not that i blame him . i would 've shot victor lord myself if i 'd been given half a chance . roxy : get in line , sister . echo : i just do n't want him to think that i do n't believe him or worse , that you and i screwed up so royally and that gun , the one that could link him to the murder , is out there floating around somewhere . what ? roxy : i got an idea . watch my stuff . [ scene_break ] shaun : the night of the murder , you put an apb out on todd manning , the real todd manning . why ? john : more coffee ? shaun : ok . victor said blair was worried . about todd ? was she thinking maybe he would do something ? john : that 's what it sounds like . shaun : you think todd manning killed his own brother . john : we 're looking for him in connection with the missing gun . so obviously , he had opportunity , and he had motive , but now the gun is missing , and till we find it , we do n't have enough to hold him . shaun : but you have n't ruled him out , either . i wish that message told us more . john : yeah . it 's good , though . i 'm gon na need to hang onto your phone for a couple days . shaun : that 's no problem , but you got to do me a favor . john : hmm . shaun : do n't look at the photos . me and viv found a lagoon in the trees , and let 's just say we had our birthday suits on . john : brr ! say no more , all right ? they 're safe with me , all right ? hey , thank you for coming down . thanks for bringing me this . shaun : i want this guy caught . john : yeah . me , too . hey , you still have your offices down at the waterfront ? shaun : yeah . john : you know louie -- homeless guy , hangs out at the docks ? shaun : yeah . everybody knows louie . why ? you do n't think louie shot victor lord . john : no . no , no , but manning says he gave louie the gun , all right ? now louie has disappeared . that gun could clear manning . shaun : or sink him . i 'll keep my eyes open . john : thanks , my man . shaun : all right . john : see you . [ scene_break ] starr : i know it sounds convenient that dad would just give his gun away to some guy , but the truth is that he would never hit you and -- jack : what are you talking about ? he hit me at dad 's office . starr : but that 's because he thought you were -- jack : yeah ? no . go ahead . say it . because he thought i was dad . he only hit me because he was trying to get back at dad . starr : no . he wanted his life back . he was n't trying to hurt anyone . jack : look , starr . i know you keep saying that i was too young to remember , too young to know the real todd manning , that he 's this great guy who totally understood you . maybe he was , but he spent 8 years locked in a cell , drugged and tortured . who knows what kind of man he is now ? once you start messing with his brain -- he blamed dad for everything . he wanted him dead , and he got his wish . [ scene_break ] brody : makes sense jack is not at school . his dad just died . shane : yeah . i know . did you find out who did it yet ? brody : no . we 're still investigating . what ? shane : well , you know how i feel about jack . he made my life miserable last year . he killed my mom and got away with it . brody : you have every right to be angry with him . shane : i am . i was . no one should have to lose their father . brody : or his mother . shane : i know . it 's just , i thought that it would make me feel better if something terrible happened to jack , but it did n't . brody : what are you saying ? shane : can i talk to you about something ? [ scene_break ] starr : look . you had plenty of reasons to resent our dad , even before victor was shot . all i 'm asking you to do is to just not jump to conclusions , let the police investigate . jack : the police ? are you serious ? they hated dad . starr : john mcbain is an honest cop , and you know that . why do you think victor called him `` mcpain `` ? the police will find out who did this , i promise . jack : i know who did this . it was scarface . starr : no . you 're hurt right now , and you want to feel like you 're doing something by finding out who killed victor , but it wo n't bring him back . i know how much you loved him and relied on him . he bailed you out more than once , probably when he should n't have , and you trusted him , and it feels horrible without him . i feel the same exact way . jack : do n't give me that . starr : i loved -- he was my father , too , jack , for 8 years . i loved him . i would n't have put up with what he did to cole and me . i would 've told him to go to hell , but you ca n't solve this . you have to let yourself grieve and think about giving dad a chance . you 're going to need a father now that victor is gone , and you 're lucky that you have one . [ scene_break ] natalie : i would n't count on jack coming onto your side . it sounds like he 's in victor 's camp . todd : more like he hates me . natalie : wonder why . todd : i do n't know . i do n't . the only crime that i 've committed is not getting to be the guy that raised him , and that was n't even my fault . i would do anything for my kids , and you , you used to know that about me . in fact , the only thing that kept me going when i was locked up was the thought of my children . i was wondering , `` what were they wearing to school ? does starr know how to drive ? does jack know how to throw a spiral ? what would they like for their birthday ? `` it was very , very difficult . natalie : i 'm sorry . todd : yeah . so am i , and now jack , he thinks that i knocked him out and took the keys and snuck into his house and killed the only father that he 's ever known , and i hate that . that kills me . i would never do anything like that to jack . jack loved victor , even though , from what i hear , victor was n't much of a father . natalie : i 'll agree with you on that . victor let jack get away with murder ... literally . todd : what are you talking about ? murder ? jack is just a kid . natalie : yeah . you know what ? maybe you should talk to blair about this . todd : well , no . hold on . i 'm talking to you about this . i -- ok . when i first got back to town , i read something about jack being accused of something , but that was it . the charges were dropped . natalie : they were . todd : he was guilty ? natalie : that 's for a jury to decide . unfortunately , it did n't get that far . todd : he 's my son . please tell me . what are you talking about ? what happened ? natalie : fine . jack is a bully . he likes to pick on weaker kids . this past year , he picked on my nephew shane , who 's had a lot of problems , you know ? he had cancer and asthma , and , i mean , he 's the kind of kid who likes to spend his free time drawing , ok , and jack and his friends just continued to bully him until shane 's life got so miserable , he tried to kill himself . todd : oh , my god . natalie : yeah , and it did n't stop . they continued to bully him , and then that tried to lure him into this vacant house , but gigi , shane 's mom , intercepted the message and wanted to confront jack , and jack locked her in the basement , where she died of carbon monoxide poisoning . todd : i do n't believe you . natalie : well , it only gets worse because victor did n't want his kid to go to jail , so he paid off another father to have his kid confess , and jack walked . todd : this is all my fault . this is my fault . if i 'd been there for jack , none of this would 've happened . [ scene_break ] jack : i 'm not giving scarface a chance . he killed my father . starr : what if you 're wrong ? jack : i 'm not . starr : you do n't have any proof . jack : neither do you .

[ scene_break ] john : i 'm a little busy right now . i 'm working a murder investigation . roxy : yeah . i understand that , but this is really important . ok . somebody took morris from the flea market . they kidnapped him , and when you find him , which i know you will , do me a favor . just do n't look inside . john : i 'm afraid to ask . why not ? [ scene_break ] kim : you think i 'd waste my time on that trick , who called me a bimbo , by the way ? cutter : congratulations . what you always wanted . money well spent . kim : hey , noogies if you do n't hear me out . cutter : she 's gon na be done soon . kim : ok . i 'll talk fast . remember that friend i was telling you about , the one in the hospital ? i need you to help me pay her bills . cutter : ok . we 'll deal with it later . any luck ? aubrey : i got an interview at capricorn . where 's your sister ? cutter : she had to go do something . we 're gon na catch up later . so where are we gon na have this little guy bunk ? [ scene_break ] rex : man , this sucks for roxy . knowing cutter , she 's gon na have to pay through the nose to get morris back . hey , how 's the investigation going ? any idea who shot victor lord ? brody : not yet . we do n't have enough evidence to book manning . mcbain wants us to consider the field wide open , which makes sense . a lot of people wanted victor dead . [ scene_break ] roxy : uh , do n't look inside cause morris is fragile , very fragile . you know those poky , piney things ? when they fall off , he 's instantly devalued . john : i 'll keep that in mind . roxy : yeah . listen . in the victor lord case , did you arrest anyone yet ? john : no , not yet . roxy : well , maybe you 'd have a little better luck if you found out who snatched morris because you had a lot of luck with liam 's kidnapper , and liam would 've been 3 sheeps to the wind with marty saybrooke if you had n't come along , and natty 's heart would 've been , like , more broke than it already is . she 's ok , you know ? she 's with brody , and they 're playing house , but i know and you know she belongs with you . john : i 'm gon na try to find that porcupine for you . roxy : you do that , johnny mac .

original todd talks to natalie telling her he does not trust her for taking jessica 's boyfriend and that she and brody and john better drop the charges against him . she informs him that he is a suspect and they also get into a conversation where she informs original todd of the first time that he is a bully , harassed a tormented natalie 's nephew shane until shane tried to kill himself . and jack and his friends locked shane 's mom in a basement where she died of carbon monoxide poisoning but todd enabled his son to get away with murder . he is shocked to hear that . shaun goes to see john and later goes to see starr informing her of his suspicion about who killed victor lord . jack overhears and is determined to take the law into his hands believing that original todd killed his father . morris , roxy 's porcupine is missing and so is the gun that she and echo need to hide in order to protect rex from getting charged with murder . cutter purchases the porcupine at the flea market suspecting nothing and intends to give him as a gift to aubrey . he somehow knows this porcupine is their `` ticket to good fortune `` . kimberly comes by and meets aubrey for the first time . and when cutter and aubrey least expect it , the gun falls out of inside the porcupine .

[ scene_break ] bo : i know where you 're coming from , balsom , because victor had a lot to answer for ... nora : if dorian were here , she 'd be dancing on his grave . bo : and even though you had every right to want to see him at you for this , because you 've come too far to take matters into your own hands and then mess up your life ... [ cell phone chirps ] bo : and shane 's life , and i got to get to the department . there 's been a development in the victor lord case . nora : you 're gon na make me ask . bo : honey , i just got a text , you know ? when i know something , then you 're gon na know something ... and if it 's something really big , then everybody is gon na know . [ scene_break ] cutter : rex blamed victor lord and his son for gigi 's death . aubrey : so rex killed victor . cutter : and roxy and echo hid the gun . aubrey : in a porcupine ? cutter : who 'd look in a porcupine ? aubrey : the person who bought it . cutter : i - i just picked it up . i did n't even talk to anybody . maybe it was n't really for sale . aubrey : oh , they 're gon na be pretty upset when they realize it 's missing . cutter : yeah . so is rex , and he 's gon na want that gun back , and he 's got a ton of money now that he 's a buchanan . aubrey : what are you saying ? cutter : nothing , just that , you know , he 's gon na want the gun back and maybe we should let him know that we have it . aubrey : so you can blackmail him . cutter : blackmail rex ? what are you , crazy ? no . no . i just think we should let him know that we have it and , you know , that we 're on his side . then if he feels grateful , who am i to turn down his generosity ? aubrey : somebody who 's supposed to be going legit , who just gave me that big , long speech about how he 's in it for the long haul . cutter : and i meant it . is it my fault this gun just fell into my lap ? we did n't kill victor lord , and if rex did , he can damn well pay to keep himself out of jail . aubrey : i knew it . i knew you were n't gon na change . cutter : i 'm doing this for you . look at this place . it 's a hell hole . you really want to live like this ? i 'm not gon na get us out working the front desk , and this job interview you 're going for as a waitress -- aubrey : oh , my god , i 've got to get over there . cutter : ok . hey , just go . we 'll deal with this later . aubrey : no . no , no , no . no . no . cutter : we 'll figure it out . aubrey : there is nothing to figure out . you are not blackmailing rex balsom . do you understand me ? i 'm not gon na stick by you while you try to extort money from him . i 'm serious , cutter . you go after him , i 'm out of here .

[ scene_break ] blair : i still think there 's hope for jack . i do . i mean , it 's like what you said . mean , he is weighted down with guilt . i think that we can get through , help him . i thought that he was opening up , and then victor died , and he shut down again , back to his cold , cruel self . todd : like me . that 's what you mean . blair : i honestly do n't know what you 're like anymore . todd : i 'm gon na help our son . i am . i 'm gon na get these charges dropped , and i 'm gon na focus on jack . i 'll do whatever i have to to help him get through this . blair : good . todd : um , sorry . i was a little rough with you . you do n't deserve that . blair : maybe i do . this whole thing with jack , it just blindsided me . he 's different from starr . todd : we 'll fix this . jack : you 're hooking up with dad 's murderer . way to be loyal , mom . blair : where have you been ? jack : out . i mean , what do you care ? you had company . todd : came here to see you , jack . i did n't shoot victor . i was angry at him , but i would n't do anything to cause you pain . i know you loved him . i would n't take him away from you . [ scene_break ] bo : and you know how i feel about witnesses who change their story . john : i 'm with you , and jack hates manning , so he 's got reason to frame him , and that kid is a little punk . we still owe him for what he did to gigi . still , you know , shaun was in here earlier , and he 's got an audio tape of victor 's last moments , you know ? it 's right here , bo , everything that happened in the exchange between the shooter and victor , and jack got those words down verbatim . bo : how would jack know what he said if he did n't hear it himself ? you do n't trust this kid . john : would you ? he spent a lot of time with victor . bo : i know , but still , manning , he had motive and opportunity and no alibi . is there someone else that you like for this ? [ scene_break ] nora : thank you . phylicia . um , i have n't heard from you or your husband . i was expecting a letter with your attorney 's name , and i 'm really anxious to talk to him or her whenever it 's convenient . phylicia : i was thinking maybe you and i should sit down and talk about our grandchild . nora : oh . sure . absolutely . um ... now is good . phylicia : now is fine . [ scene_break ] cutter : you 're right . we decided to go legit . that 's what we 're gon na do . aubrey : so you 'll call the cops . cutter : i already said , i do n't want our names involved . aubrey : so just do it anonymously -- you can do that , right ? -or -- i do n't know -- throw it in a mailbox -- the mailman can deliver it -- but use gloves . cutter : good idea . aubrey : good , because i really want this to work . cutter : me , too ... and i got a good feeling about this interview you 're going on . aubrey : good . cutter : not gon na lose you again . aubrey : just turn that gun in , and you 'll have nothing to worry about . [ scene_break ] rex : it sounded like it was important , whatever it was you wanted to tell me about jack . shane : no . it 's just , you know , he 's going through a lot losing his dad . rex : yeah . that 's true . you sure that 's all it was ? shane : yeah . [ scene_break ] cutter : what aubrey does n't know wo n't hurt her , right , morris ? besides , this gun might come in handy . i 'm gon na hold on to it for a little bit longer , little insurance policy .

[ sniffles ] [ scene_break ] todd : jack , i 'm not done . the only reason that i did n't kill my brother was because of you . i would never give up any chance that i had to be your father . jack : yeah , right . if you believe this guy , you 're a bigger jerk than he is . you 're a murderer . you deserve to be locked in a cell for the rest of your pathetic life . [ scene_break ] john : we need the murder weapon . if we knew the gun that manning took from dorian 's safe is the gun that was used to kill victor lord , at least we 'd have something . bo : but even without the gun , we 've got enough to make the charges stick . you gon na make an arrest ?
original todd goes to talk to blair about how it is that jack has become a bully and responsible for killing a woman . they argue about whether jack is not unlike his rapist father and/or child molester grandfather or whether it 's the last 8 years of being raised by victor or if she has neglected to properly raise jack . meanwhile , jack goes to the station and tells john he now `` knows `` that original todd murdered his father . john is not about to take his word for it but realizes its `` very odd `` that jack would know the exact words that john has heard the two of them saying on the tape recording shaun gave him . little does john know that jack overheard shaun play the tape for starr behind closed doors . john then confirms that to bo and they both realize that he has grounds to arrest original todd for murder .

[ scene_break ] tico : where are you going -- to talk to that detective in private ? sonia : i 'm going to find antonio . tico : why ? sonia : do n't you think he deserves an explanation as to why we never told him that angelina is isabella santi -- his mother ? tico : i do n't want you saying anything to him . sonia : tico , he is your brother . tico : now , look , i 'm sorry . i -- i 'm upset about this , ok ? that was my mother who died up there . sonia : i know . i know , honey . i 'm sorry . but antonio never even knew her . he never knew anything about her . for that reason , do n't you think he deserves a little explanation ? tico : i guess . but you 'll never find him . sonia : all i can do is try .

dorian is still devastated after what david did and does n't want to go outside her home or face anybody . kelly tells her she has no choice and must n't feel ashamed by what david did . so she goes to meet bo and nora for a budget meeting . yet , she `` hears `` them talking about how she got dumped by bo 's handsome son and how she is unworthy and nothing more than a loser . she does not hear what they are really saying . so she throws water at them and causes a scene . at the other table , at the palace , clint has `` finagled `` a way to get inez to go out with him . she got a not saying she needs to `` meet mr. buchanan `` at the palace and assumed that bo wants to discuss business with her so she goes to meet him . yet bo did not send her the message and clint reveals it was himself . bo is a bit concerned about clint 's actions regarding asking inez out and also about offering matthew a job at b.e . without asking bo first . ross finds dani and wants to take her to live with him . todd is ready to call the cops . but ross tells todd that he is dani 's legal guardian and shows todd the will that says just that . meanwhile , we see that eli is alive in a private hospital and only greg knows he 's there . he tells greg he needs to get back to llanview . but greg tells him he has a fatal skull injury that could kill him if he gets on a plane . eli wonders if greg is just telling him that in order to keep him from returning to llanview .

[ scene_break ] kim : you 're smiling . that 's good . does that mean i can breathe now ? clint : what were you worried about ? kim : it 's just it 's not every day you call and say you want to see me . i thought maybe something was wrong . clint : no , no , not at all . i 've been thinking about your sick friend down in kentucky . kim : oh . what about her ? clint : i think i 've come up with a solution for her medical expenses .

[ scene_break ] kim : oh , my god . you figured out a way for me to pay my friend 's bills ? clint : better than that . you said that your friend was wasting away down in kentucky in -- what hospital was it ? kim : you 've probably never heard of it . it 's really small . it 's in the middle of nowhere . clint : i may not have much money anymore , but i still have clout , especially at llanview hospital . i mean , for heaven 's sakes , my father donated an entire wing to the place . kim : everybody knows the buchanan wing . clint : so it 's very easy to speak with several of the hospital board members , and with their help , i have arranged to have your friend transferred here so she can get the best care possible . kim : you what ? clint : in fact , she could be transferred to llanview as early as tomorrow . [ scene_break ] aubrey : i still ca n't believe you listened to me . cutter : about what ? aubrey : the gun . the minute you realized that it might be rex balsom 's , i saw the dollar signs in your eyes . cutter : can you blame me ? the guy would 've shelled out a ton of cash to keep me from outing him to the cops . aubrey : but you do n't know for sure that it belongs to him , and you certainly do n't know that he used it to kill victor lord . cutter : you did n't see how his mom was acting . she was freaking out . so echo was , so was roxy , and why would they be freaking out if they were n't covering for rex ? aubrey : just because he might 've had a motive does n't necessarily mean that he did it . cutter : of course , he had a motive . gigi , his fiancée , was killed by victor 's son , right ? and from what i heard , victor made sure that the kid got away with it , too . aubrey : yes , which caused rex a lot of pain , and it would be wrong to take advantage of that pain . and i am very , very proud of you for understanding that . cutter : i like it when i make you proud . aubrey : hey , just because we 're on the straight and narrow does not mean it ca n't be fun . so if the police trace that gun back to rex , there is nothing we can do about it . but at least we did n't try to profit from it . cutter : yeah . if rex is a murderer , he 's gon na have to pay one way or another . [ scene_break ] nate : life and death ? it 's a stuffed animal . roxy : you calling him a toy ? this is a perfect specimen of taxidermatology , and he 's been kidnapped . nate : you got ta be alive to be kidnapped . roxy : well , you know , technically , i admit i put him up for sale , and whoever took him got him for peanuts . he 's worth more than that . do n't tell me that 's not a crime . nate : i 'm not gon na try to tell you anything . roxy : why did i give him up ? how could i give him up ? that was so stupid of me , especially what 's going on inside of him . nate : what 's he got inside of him ? roxy : uh , a heart . like , you know , like a really , really big heart . you know , like a human being , like , you know , would have a heart , because he 's family to me . nate : but he 's a porcupine . roxy : yeah , but , no , you know , family is family , and when it comes to mine , there is nothing that i wo n't do . [ scene_break ] rex : well , shane started lhs yesterday . i wanted to send him to private school , but we talked about it with his therapist and she thought that it would be too much like he 'd be running away , and he did n't want to do that . the night before school , i was a mess . shane was totally cool , though . you would 've been very proud . of course , it helped that jack manning would n't be there right away . his father -- or at least the person posing as his father -- is being buried today . so maybe there 's some justice in that . the guy who lied and paid people off to make sure that jack would n't have to do time for your murder , he 's not gon na hurt anybody else . he left behind a kid and a wife who loved him . jack and téa are finally finding out what it 's been like for me and shane . [ scene_break ] starr : jack is having the roughest time out of all of us because to him , there is no question . he 's 100 % positive that his real father killed the man that he will always see as his dad , and he 's so mad about it , and it 's tearing my family apart . james : i can imagine it is . i mean , being on opposite sides when you need each other the most . starr : but my dad did n't do it . i know that he did n't , because he came to me and he told me that he 's innocent . james : and you believe him . starr : it may sound like the craziest thing , but i am the only person in this world that my dad ca n't lie to . so when he looked me in the eye and told me that he did n't do it , that was enough for me . james : do the cops have any other suspects ? starr : well , i 'm sure that there are other people . james : like who ? starr : baz 's father has an alibi , but baz does n't seem to buy it . james : you think tomás delgado could 've shot victor ? starr : no , i -- i hope not . i hope not , because that would make a lot of people more upset than they already are . he 's téa 's brother , he 's dani 's uncle , and he seems to be really important to my mom , too . [ scene_break ] tomás : téa has not accused me of killing victor . blair : yet . tomás : blair , where is this coming from ? blair : come on . you 've hated victor . you 've wanted to get rid of him ever since you found out he was married to téa . tomás : that does n't mean i would shoot him in cold blood . blair : yeah . well , then why is your son suspicious ? tomás : sebastian . blair : yeah . he went to john mcbain to talk about you . tomás : he would n't have done that if he knew me the way he should . unfortunately , i was n't given much of a chance to be a father to him , was i ? now i 'm paying the price for it . blair : it 's a mighty high price to pay for your own son to accuse you of murder . tomás : i 'm sure todd can relate . is n't jack accusing him of the same crime ? blair : we 're not talking about my son . we 're talking about yours . is there anything to baz 's suspicion ? did you have anything to do with victor 's death ? tomás : mcbain let me go . is n't that enough ? blair : no . i want to hear it from you . and i want to know the truth . did you kill victor ? [ scene_break ] nate : ok , ok . i get that you need to find this thing . i mean , this very special porcupine . but if the fliers are n't working , you got ta try something else . roxy : i went to the cops . johnny mcbain is a very close and personal friend of mine . nate : i was thinking something more serious than that . are n't you friends with a psychic ? roxy : delphina ! oh , my god . why did n't i think of that ? you 're a genius . nate : i thought i had n't learned anything . roxy : shut up . i got ta make a phone call . [ cell phone ringing ] roxy : it 's delphina . yeah . you knew ? yeah . yeah , well , i 'm over at the -- no . yeah , you know ? delphina -- she knows everything . she knew that morris was missing . all right , well , i guess we just got ta sit and wait , that 's all . this is some story . nate : yeah . big news . roxy : it 's such a pity when someone so young and so good - looking cashes in all the chips . nate : was he personal friend of yours , too ? roxy : not exactly , but he was natty 's uncle . nate : he was dani 's uncle , too , although she thought of him as her father . she 's got ta be going through hell right now , especially today with the funeral and everything . roxy : why are n't you over there ? are n't you her boyfriend ? nate : i am sure i 'm the last person dani wants to see . [ scene_break ] tomás : the problem with the truth is that parts can be ugly . you 're right . i wanted victor gone , even more so when i found out he 'd been brainwashed . blair : but that was n't his fault . tomás : no , it was n't . but it does n't change the fact that he 'd been programmed to do someone else 's bidding , blair . victor was dangerous because irene manning would always have some degree of control over him . what if she decided to get him to turn on téa or dani ? what if he 'd hurt them ? i was n't gon na live with that possibility . blair : so what did you do ? tomás : i went to calmar , and i asked him to help me to get victor to leave my sister , in a way that could n't be connected back to me . that 's where i was the night of the murder . blair : so that 's it ? tomás : what more do you want ? blair : i want to hear you say it . tomás : i did n't kill victor lord . all i can do now is pray that you believe me . [ scene_break ] cutter : we ca n't worry about rex . it 's out of our hands . aubrey : you 're right . cutter : we have our own lives to think about , anyways -- our own future . aubrey : and mine 's looking a little brighter . they liked me at capricorn . cutter : you got the job ? aubrey : well , not officially . i still have to meet with the owner -- blair cramer . but she 'll like me , right ? cutter : is n't she related to kelly ? are you kidding ? are you kidding ? they 're gon na love you . aubrey : i hope so . but right now , she has a funeral to go to , so we 're gon na set something up afterwards . so cross your fingers . cutter : i do n't have to . you 're gon na get it . aubrey : i better , because let 's face it , i do n't have a lot of marketable skills , and not everybody likes to take their clothes off for a living , like your sister . i still ca n't believe aubrey just showed up out of the blue like that . cutter : let 's call her kim now . i think that 's what she wants , anyways . aubrey : what else does she want , cutter ? i mean , is there a particular reason she decided to look you up after all this time ? cutter : as a matter of fact , there was . [ scene_break ] kim : that is so amazing of you , but even if my friend got moved to a new hospital , it does n't change what i owe in kentucky , and then i have all the bills from here . clint : no , no , no . that 's where you 're wrong . the arrangement i made with the hospital was all expenses paid , so all you have to do is give me a few details . we get the ball rolling . i just need some basic infor -- kim : it 's not happening , ok ? she ca n't come to llanview . clint : why not ? [ scene_break ] rex : the thing is , i always thought that if victor lord suffered , if his family suffered , that it would sort of balance things out . you know , help ease the pain of losing you . but it has n't . i do n't know what to do , how to let you go . i saw you in this coffin with my own two eyes . and what happened with the date on your gravestone being scratched out -- that was n't a sign , it was just some kids doing some old - fashioned vandalism . i do n't have a choice . i have to accept it . you 're gone . you 're really gone . [ scene_break ] james : is hope ok ? starr : yeah . she 's with grandma now . it was so sweet . the second hope saw me , she ran up to me and gave me a big hug , like she knew i needed it . james : it 's like i said -- kids pick up on stuff . starr : i know , and there 's so much sadness in this house . i know that she senses that . i just keep trying to keep her focused on the happy stuff . james : and i am gon na do the same thing for her mom . so . what 's going on with this demo ? your text you sent me was kind of vague . starr : i wanted to tell you about it in person . baz found someone to produce it . james : no way . that 's awesome . it 's not awesome ? [ scene_break ] baz : did you pick out any music for the funeral today ? dani : i did n't even think about that . my mom might have , but she did n't say anything . we have to have music , right ? baz : we could put some stuff on a disc right now if you want . dani : it 's not too late ? baz : no . just pick out whatever you think would mean something to victor . i 'll burn it for you . dani : that 's really sweet of you . thank you . [ scene_break ] blair : i hope you realize why i need to hear this from you . tomás : you need answers like everyone else . blair : yes , i do , and i am sure -- i should 've realized that you did n't want victor dead or you would n't have saved his life the first time he was shot . tomás : thank you . so i should take that as a vote of confidence ? blair : i believe you . tomás : that means so much to me . now will you help me convince my son ?

[ scene_break ] greg : i keep going over it and over it . i pulled the fragment out . all his vitals were good . we ran a scan . i spotted the piece that had broken off , found it in the wall of the vessel . and then , i was trying to do as little damage as possible to make sure that i 'd gotten everything out . and vivian warned me . rachel : vivian ? greg : she was observing . she was saying , `` you 're going in too deep . `` rachel : but if it was the only way , you could n't have anticipated any -- greg : it 's my job to anticipate , to avoid complications . rachel : but if you had no other choice -- greg : there are always choices . vivian told me to stop , to close him up , to only go back in there if you have to . rachel : if you left that fragment in , it would have killed him . greg : and now my brother 's in a coma . and knowing shaun , he 'd rather be dead .

[ scene_break ] greg : i take it the girl you 're referring to is danielle ? eli : if all is going according to my plan , my brother and todd are debating a certain document i drew up leaving custody of dani to ross . greg : so you and ross are in this together ? eli : my original plan was blown apart when the cops caught on to me . i had to adapt . greg : and involve danielle ? eli : it seemed like the most lucrative option . 'cause todd manning will pay dearly to hold onto his little girl . [ scene_break ] ross : look , dude , i did n't even know about the will -- until after eli died . todd : so you say . ross : it 's the truth . look , the only reason they sent me a copy of it is because my name is mentioned . dani : so you just got this ? ross : yes . that 's how i found out your mom had passed away . i -- i just -- i ca n't believe she 's gone . todd : oh , god . all right , we 're going to settle this with one phone call here . ahem .

[ scene_break ] natalie : liar ! liar ! she made me write that note , jared ! i would never leave you ! [ scene_break ] jared : but to leave without saying goodbye ? i mean – [ scene_break ] natalie : exactly ! exactly ! see , look ! look at her ! look in her eyes ! she 's not jess ! she 's tess ! look ! [ scene_break ] jared : why not ? i mean , we were together . things were working out . it -- it -- tess : maybe it just was n't enough for her . tina : jared , it 's not true . natalie would never leave you . tina : i mean it , jared . natalie would never leave you . she loves you . [ scene_break ] natalie : yeah , tina . yeah , tina . please just make him believe you . make him find me . [ scene_break ] jared : well , i thought she loved me . she told me she did . tina : and that 's what i 'd hang on to and not some silly note from nowhere . tess : [ as jessica ] i know it 's shocking . i know it 's shocking for everybody . i mean , i -- i ca n't believe that my sister would do this . but then again , i never thought that i would lose nash . sometimes , life just pulls the rug out from underneath you . tina : hmm . well , trust your heart , jared . tess : and tina 's right . you should trust your heart and right now , your heart 's breaking and it 's going to take some time for it to heal , because lord knows nobody else needs any more bad news because with cristian missing and carlo hesser on the loose , anything could happen . [ scene_break ] natalie : do n't believe her , jared . please do n't believe her . you know me . you know i would never do this to you . [ scene_break ] clint : i know all too well that natalie was involved in jared 's -- nigel : begging your pardon , sir . i 'm not referring to miss natalie . she was n't aware of mr. jared 's duplicity until after the fact . clint : yeah , and then she decided to keep it from the family . natalie betrayed each and every one of us . nigel : she certainly paid the price , which is why i feel i must come forward . mr. banks was determined to take this all on himself . he insisted that i remain silent . i 'm ashamed to say that i accepted his offer . i let him take the full blame . clint : what are you getting at ? nigel : i see where that decision led . you 're determined to take back buchanan enterprises no matter the cost . i felt i had to speak up . clint : why now ? nigel : you brought this miscreant , this ray montez into our midst . you 've thrust him on dr. lord 's family . i ca n't stay silent any longer . mr. buchanan , sir , miss natalie was n't the only one privy to jared banks ' plans . i , too , was his collaborator . [ scene_break ] dorian : get shaun . blair : okay . langston : no , we do n't need to -- whoa , markko . markko , what are you doing ? ray : hey . okay , i will assume this brave young man is your novio . it 's good to see you have someone to protect you . dorian : yes , she does . she has me . langston : dr. lord is adopting me . dorian : and you , sir -- whoever you are -- ray : if the gentleman will allow me to reach into my pocket , i 'd like to prove who i am . langston : let him go . dorian : absolutely not . [ scene_break ] sarah : you do n't think carlos is after me , do you , mom ? tina : no . and , jessica , you stop scaring my daughter . tess : [ as jessica ] well , she should be scared . i mean , we should all be being careful . sarah : no , but we -- we probably should go to the station and check in with uncle bo and see if he has any more information about cristian . [ scene_break ] natalie : they 'd call you ! she 's just trying to get rid of you ! [ scene_break ] tina : it would n't hurt to stop in the station . [ scene_break ] natalie : no ! [ scene_break ] tess : okay . you 're right . you should take your little girl to the station and i will stay here with jared . tina : and , jared , i ca n't tell you how sorry i am about all this . [ scene_break ] natalie : you have n't won yet . [ scene_break ] jared : you know , i think tina 's right -- this letter 's a fake . jared : no , there 's just -- there 's something off about this letter . [ scene_break ] natalie : i knew it ! i knew it ! you figured it out ! [ scene_break ] tess : [ as jessica ] you know , maybe she 's just scared . natalie is so torn up about dad and nash and after that fight that you had before you left . jared : whoa , whoa , whoa . no , no , no , no . that is not it . i mean , yes , okay , we argued , but she came to the airport to see me off and it was fine . tess : knowing natalie , she had probably already made up her mind and she just wanted to see you one last time . jared : hiding the way she feels ? no , i 'm sorry . that 's -- that 's not natalie . she 's in your face . and -- and to run away ? if anything , she 'd pick a fight . that 's why i call her sparky . she is a little spitfire and i love that about her , but -- you know , look , i 'm not saying that she would never leave me . it 's just that she would definitely have it out with me first . [ jared chuckles ] jared : all because she loves me . [ scene_break ] natalie : that 's right , i do . [ scene_break ] jared : i know she does . [ scene_break ] natalie : do n't you forget it . [ scene_break ] tina : why did n't you call us if you had a lead ? sarah : did you find him ? [ scene_break ] cristian : si . woman : i can tell by your accent . cristian : ray montez is -- he 's your husband ? woman : looks like he put up quite a fight . you killed him ? cristian : i did n't kill anybody , okay ? i got dumped here by a guy named carlo hesser . i was forced to put this stuff on . i never saw your husband . i do n't know what happened to him . [ scene_break ] dorian : do n't let him go . we have no idea if this man is armed and until we know , nobody is making a move . okay ? addie : he looks like langston . dorian : oh , do n't be ridiculous , addie . addie : he does , around the eyes , just like me and sam . me llamo addie . nosotros somos las mujeres cramer . ray : el gusto es mio , addie . dorian : addie , thank you , but that 's enough with the spanish . addie : spanish is a beautiful language . ray : verdad . addie : it 's on my list . dorian : oh , thank goodness . shaun : dr. lord . dorian : yes , please take charge of this gentleman . shaun : no problem . come with me . dorian : he was about to leave . good . langston : wait , wait , wait . what if he 's really my uncle ? blair : look , it 's -- it 's okay , shaun . ray : if i may . this is a picture of your mother when she was younger and the guy next to her is me . dorian : anyone can photoshop a photo . markko : lang . langston : i 've seen this picture before . a long time ago , i found it in the attic in some old trunk but my mother got really upset . she would n't tell me who the guy was . dorian : we do n't know who this guy is . if you really are langston 's uncle , where were you when her parents died ? [ scene_break ] woman : so , what are you ? are you a drug dealer ? cristian : no . i 'm innocent . woman : you 're all innocent . cristian : look . i was kidnapped . woman : and brought here to colombia . ridiculous . the colombians do n't want problems with the united states , your family shouting at the ambassador making speeches -- cristian : my family does n't even know i 'm here . you know what ? maybe you can call them . my brother 's a police detective in pennsylvania . he -- he 's got connections . just one call could sort this whole thing out . [ scene_break ] john : you 've got to be kidding me . my life just keeps weirder and weirder . bo : what do you mean ? what ? john : nothing . go on , bo . this is more important . sarah : what -- what is this -- what is this footage ? where -- where is cris ? bo : this d.v.d . is from airport security in new york . it was recorded about a half - hour after your flight took off . sarah : who 's the guy with him ? tina : well , he looks like an airport employee . he 's got a uniform . bo : security ca n't identify this person yet . we 're going to have this image enhanced . sarah : okay . well , is -- is there more to the d.v.d . ? bo : we think that cris was taken to a part of the airport where there are no cameras . sarah : and then what ? he 's -- he 's not still there . i 'm assuming they searched , right ? bo : we found a rag in one of the loading docks . it was soaked with chloroform . tina : what ? they -- they kidnapped him ? bo : that 's what it looks like . sarah : is he -- bo : we do n't think so , no . that 's not hesser 's m.o . sarah : so , you 're sure that carlo 's behind this . bo : well , this is the way that he works and he 's -- he 's not locked up anymore . [ sarah sighs ] sarah : so , where is he ? [ scene_break ] ray : your mother and i , we -- we had an argument . we , uh -- angry . i did n't want her to marry this americano , but she left . she went to america before we had a chance to forgive each other . time went by -- years passing and i -- i lost my connection to her . i should have written to her , but i was stubborn . and your mother , you know , she was a very proud woman , verdad . langston : yeah , she was . ray : i did n't even know i had a niece until recently . dorian : and how is it that you happened to find out about langston ? [ scene_break ] nigel : this is my letter of resignation . clint : it 's dated last year . nigel : i 've been carrying it around for months . i 've let you down , mr. buchanan , and i regret it more than i can say . it wo n't take me long to pack . i should be gone within the hour . clint : what did he offer you ? nigel : i beg your pardon ? clint : jared banks -- how did he get to you ? nigel : the truth is , i 've kept a secret -- a family secret -- for many years . clint : so , jared banks blackmailed you ? nigel : oh , no , nothing like that . you see , i 've known for quite some time that david vickers was the missing heir . and knowing mr. vickers ' character and how you regard him , let 's just say i thought it in the family 's best interest to keep mum . and then mr. banks arrived . i knew he was an impostor , but he seemed a better candidate . his business school background , his adoration of your father -- but in any event , i had no right to keep the truth from you . and now everything that 's followed -- the loss of the company , the death of poor mr. brennan -- it 's all my fault . i brought irreparable harm to the family it 's been my honor to serve . if you would like me to clean and load your gun , just say the word . [ scene_break ] ray : i learned about langston because of you , dr. lord . i read an article in a magazine that was all about you taking over the buchanan enterprises . blair : i believe that was your interview in `` american business weekly . `` ray : it was very , very interesting . you talk about your foster child , langston wilde . dorian : and how did you know that langston was your niece ? ray : i knew that linda had married a man named wilde and langston hughes was her favorite poet . she discovered him when she was 13 , 14 . she was always quoting that line about life not being a crystal stair . langston : she used to say that to me , too . dorian : and after you read the article ? ray : i looked for my sister on the internet and i was sad to read that she had passed away . it was a terrible day . but i made a vow to myself that i would find you . dorian : do n't listen to a word he says , langston . he 's a con man . he 's after your money . ray : that is not true . i do n't want money . i came here to see her . i wanted to see her face . you will blame me , dr. lord ? you and -- with these mujeres cramer ? you will blame me because i want to know my niece ? [ scene_break ] tess : [ as jessica ] maybe , um , you are a constant reminder of how guilty she feels . she felt responsible for nash 's death and i mean , she felt like a murderer . jared : okay , that 's another thing . natalie feels horrible about what happened to nash -- we both do -- but we know it was an accident . tess : well , whatever the reason , you know , she obviously felt that she needed to go . maybe when you went away on your business trip , she realized that life without you was -- was easier . jared : i do n't think so . what i think -- i think this letter 's a fake . tess : well , it has her handwriting , jared . jared : even so . tess : are you telling me that somebody forced her to write that letter ? jared : that 's exactly what i 'm thinking -- someone forced her to write this letter . [ scene_break ] natalie : yes . [ scene_break ] langston : are you really my uncle ? ray : i am . dorian : you 've come a long way to find langston . would you like to tell me what it is exactly you want from her ? [ scene_break ] woman : you want me to call the police in pennsylvania ? cristian : they wo n't let me use the phone . the guy i told you about , carlo hesser , he paid them off . please , just -- just one phone call . just tell my brother where i am . woman : and what about my husband ? you 're wearing his uniform . i 'm supposed to do you a favor while he 's still missing ? never . [ scene_break ] tess : [ as jessica ] jared , i know how tough it is to get a letter like this . you -- you do n't want to believe that it 's true . i mean , i did n't want to believe that nash was dead . he was lying there right in front of me . it 's normal . it 's denial . the brain can only absorb so much . [ scene_break ] natalie : maybe your brain , you twisted bitch . [ scene_break ] tess : maybe after a day or two it will all make sense . jared : no , i do n't think so . i mean , okay , listen to this . `` if i 've learned anything from this family i 've come to love , it 's that they put the needs of others before them `` ? that 's not the way natalie talks , it 's not how she thinks . somebody forced her to write this . tess : who ? [ scene_break ] natalie : tess ! tess is back ! [ scene_break ] jared : your father . natalie : no . tess : my father ? my father would make his daughter write a letter to break up with her boyfriend and then force her to leave town ? come on . jared : no , i know that she went to see him while i was gone , and i 'm thinking he did a number on her . tess : he made her feel guilty , you mean . jared : every time he saw her . he would go on and on about how she ruined the family , how she 'd destroyed what your grandfather built , how she pushed nash over the edge . he made her feel like she did n't have the right to be happy , which is something she 's been struggling with her whole life , and he knew it . that son of a bitch . he had this whole thing planned out . that 's why he sent me off . well , he is going to answer to me . tess : whoa , jared , wait . jared : what ? tess : my dad did n't force natalie to write this letter . i did . [ scene_break ] natalie : tess , are you coming clean ? [ scene_break ] john : by the way , i think your shoe 's still in the evidence room . tina : my shoe ? john : hmm . the one you dropped when you ran away from the bloodbath at ramsey 's . tina : oh , my god . that -- that was you . look , i -- i 'm so sorry . i had no idea that jonas had a gun . i tried to stop him -- john : save it . for cris ' sake , for sarah 's sake , i 'll let it go for now . bo : `` for now `` what ? john : nothing . just having a little chat , bo . bo : hmm . tina : it 's been a long time , handsome . bo : whoa , you still need glasses , do n't you ? tina : ooh , you have always been the best - looking man in llanview . bo : ugh , do you see what i 'm talking about ? you know what , i stopped by llanfair the other day . i thought i might catch you there . tina : oh , you know me . i 'm always in and out , and -- you know , viki asked me to keep an eye on jessica . bo : how 's she doing ? tina : fine . bo : do you really mean that ? [ scene_break ] jared : you made natalie write this ? tess : [ as jessica ] no . what i meant was , i -- i made her feel guilty . you know , i knew natalie felt bad , and in a way , i guess i felt like she deserved it . jared : yeah , i know . tess : jared , that 's not -- that 's not how it was . i 'd forgiven her . i 'd forgiven both of you . but , you know , i 'd feel the baby kick , and natalie would see how sad i was . and -- oh , god . it 's my fault she left town . jared : no , i do n't think that 's it . tess : no , you do n't understand . jared : no matter how bad natalie felt , she would n't have left you . so whatever 's happening here , there 's got to be a better explanation . tess : oh , my gosh . jared : what ? tess : i was hoping i did n't have to tell you this , i -- jared : whatever you know , you have to tell me . tess : natalie told me , um , she hated what you were doing with my dad to get b.e . back . she thought it was awful , jared . and she said that she could n't live with herself , but maybe what she meant was , she could n't live with you . [ scene_break ] ray : i wanted to find langston , so i could apologize to say , `` i am so sorry for not mending my relationship with your mother , for not knowing about your birth , or being a part of your life . for not being there when your parents died . `` i , uh -- that must 've been terrible for you to feel so alone . but i 'm here now , and i 'm so grateful to have found you . langston : can we all sit down , please ? ray : gracias . langston : thank you . my mother -- how old was she when she left colombia ? langston : si . [ scene_break ] cristian : look , i know you want to find out what happened to your husband . and i can help you do that . but not until you contact my brother . woman : the policeman in pennsylvania ? cristian : he works closely with the f.b.i . trust me , mrs. montez , he can blow this thing wide open . all you have to do is call him . my name is cristian vega . his name is antonio -- antonio vega . he works with the llanview pennsylvania police department . all you have to do is call him . he can help you . please . [ scene_break ] tina : you know , it 's -- it 's not easy , uh , losing your husband so -- so young . i mean , so jessica has her , uh , good days and her , um , bad days . bo : mm - hmm . her bad days , huh ? what are they like ? [ tina chuckles ] tina : they are bad . i mean , she lost her husband and the vineyard . and then she has to explain it all to bree . plus , she 's pregnant . i mean , all those hormones . i mean , it is no wonder she 's -- bo : she 's what ? tina : stressed . not herself . bo : so you noticed that , too ? tina : what ? bo : that she 's not herself . [ scene_break ] jared : natalie did n't approve of what i was doing for your father , but she understood . tess : [ as jessica ] no , honey , she did n't . i guess she thought it through harder after you left , but she told me -- she told me that it was all happening all over again . you were telling her to keep secrets , secrets that she knew were going to hurt people that she loved , and she just could n't go through it again . [ scene_break ] natalie : that 's a lie ! please , jared , see through her . she 's lying ! [ scene_break ] tess : she knew that you were doing it for her . you were getting b.e . back so everybody would forgive her , but she saw you getting in deeper and deeper , and she knew the only way to solve it was to take herself out of the equation . jared : it 's just not her style to run . tess : well , all i 'm saying is what she told me . jared : well , i guess i 'm going to have to hear it from her myself . i 'm going to find her . [ scene_break ] natalie : i 'm right here , jared . i 'm right here . please , please , find me , jared , please . [ scene_break ] bo : you 've been gone a long time . um , you know jess ' history . tina : um , what do you mean ? bo : like viki , she suffers from d.i.d . tina : yeah , yeah , i -- i know that . bo : she had a real bad episode . viki could n't find her for weeks . she got help , but she has n't been integrated for that long . and then seeing nash fall through that skylight -- tina : yeah , poor -- poor thing . bo : you can understand why i 'm worried . viki 's had her relapses . i just wonder if maybe nash 's death might 've triggered one for jess . tina : um -- yeah , well , you know , i do n't -- i do n't know jessica that well . you know , i was out of town a long time , and , um -- you know , it 's a little hard for me to tell if -- if my niece is just , you know , grieving or if it 's something else . bo : she 's self - destructive when her alter takes over . i would n't want to see that happen . tina : no , no , of course not . bo : she has a daughter now . she has a baby on the way . i would n't want anything to happen to those kids . would you ? tess : who do you care about more , sarah or natalie ? tina : what is that supposed to mean ? tess : well , it 's supposed to mean that if you even mumble the word `` tess , `` even in your sleep , i am going to spread the word about your little scam . tina : you would n't . tess : you know , it seems to me that carlo went to an awful lot of trouble to get back at you . and it 's a good thing that sarah 's a good swimmer , because i do n't think she would 've survived carlo 's little , you know , water park ride . i wonder what he will do to her when he finds out that you walked off with the jewels . bo : tina ? tina : uh -- yeah , bo , all i know is that my niece is really grieving , and , uh , other than that , she 's fine . absolutely fine . [ scene_break ] clint : so you decided all by yourself without pressure from anybody to go along with jared 's scheme and hide everything you knew about david vickers ? nigel : yes , sir . and after mr. banks was arrested , i learned that miss natalie finally told you the truth . clint : the truth , yeah . you know , that 's something that 's always bothered me . because i do n't know where natalie and jared ever got that information . nigel : knowing how you felt about mr. vickers , having fetched your rifle on more than one occasion when mr. vickers crossed your path , i see now i should 've said something . forewarned is forearmed . and perhaps , if you knew mr. banks ' true identity , you might 've been able to save the company . but please , understand , sir , mr. banks truly respected your father . and neither he nor miss natalie was aware of what dr . lord was planning . but , that does n't excuse my actions . i betrayed your trust . there 's no way around it . and that 's , uh , why i 'm leaving your employ , saying goodbye to you and your family . forever .

[ ray speaks spanish ] [ scene_break ] clint : i wish you would 've come to me when jared first hatched this scheme , but i guess i understand why you did n't . you thought jared was the lesser of two evils . and you wanted to protect us . and in a way , i guess you did because david vickers still does n't know the truth . and , by god , that 's a blessing . and with that in mind , nigel , i 'm going to give you another chance . nigel : really , sir ? are you sure ? clint : absolutely . nigel : thank you , sir . i wo n't let you down . clint : no , you wo n't . because from this day forward , you are going to give me the same loyalty that you gave to my father . what you know , i will know . understood ? nigel : absolutely , sir . it 's as if mr. asa himself had just spoken .

[ scene_break ] kelly : okay . what about ford ? langston : ha ! where do i start ? kelly : at the top . langston : no . i ca n't . i should n't . kelly : why ? langston : because there 's more people involved than just me and that slime ball . kelly : so ? langston : you 're the editor of the `` sun . `` kelly : do you seriously think i would print what you tell me ? okay . would it help if i promise this would be completely off the record ? langston : yeah . kelly : what is said in dorian 's room stays in dorian 's room . langston : i was this close to giving ford a second chance , this close to believing his spiel about how he was trying to change and how he wanted a real relationship . god , kelly , the guy is a bigger dog than i thought . he slept with jessica . kelly : ford told you ? langston : no . found out when brody showed up and nearly tore his head off . kelly : so brody knows . langston : and apparently , so do you . kelly : yeah . i do , and i wish it were n't true , but now that the cat is out of the bag , it makes me worry what this could mean for jessica .

[ scene_break ] kelly : i 've known for a while that ford took advantage of jessica . langston : and you did n't say anything . kelly : well , excuse me . were n't you the one who was just worried about jessica 's privacy ? langston : wait , wait , wait . so that 's why you were so interested when you heard starr and me talk about ford getting tested . you knew it was for hepatitis c , did n't you ? kelly : well , i figured . langston : and you still did n't say anything . kelly : you said ford was negative and that you two were over . if i thought there was a remote chance , believe me -- langston : i know . you were just trying to protect jessica . god , now she 's pregnant . kelly : and it could be ford 's . langston : oh , my god . kelly : he kept lying until the hep c test forced everything into the open . langston : i ca n't believe any of this . how could he be worse than i thought ? kelly : because the guy is sick . langston : you know , part of me hates him so much , i wish he would just fall off the face of the earth . kelly : part of you ? langston : yeah . the other part of me still has feelings for him and wants to believe we still have a chance .

[ scene_break ] ford : i see you 're still wearing that bullet starr plugged you with . james : i mean , it 's not really about starr . ford : what 's it about ? james : it 's about life , about being alive and staying that way . i mean , that 's what i told her boyfriend . ford : what , you talked to cole about this ? when ? james : when he came over this afternoon and told me to `` back off with starr . `` [ scene_break ] cole : um , i did something . starr : what ? cole : i decided to trust in our love . you know , starr , i believe in us , and no one is ever gon na able to rip us apart again .

[ scene_break ] kelly : are you considering letting ford back into your life ? langston : no . no . i ca n't . it 's just so hard every time i see him and he turns on the charm . kelly : then do n't see him . langston : yeah . well , i thought i had that covered , but then i just got an e - mail from l.u . saying that ford is gon na be my instructor , after all . kelly : and you ca n't drop the class ? langston : it 's a prerequisite for almost all the other writing classes . that 's why i was trying to get some advice from dorian . god , is she ever gon na get out of that bath ? kelly : oh , she 's trying to wash off the memory of david 's betrayal . langston : i do n't think there 's a bath that long , or i 'd have washed off ford months ago . kelly : well , dorian needs to start somewhere . she needs a little closure , and it sounds like you do , too . you need to get control of your feelings about ford once and for all . langston : yeah . i 've tried . you think i like staying mad all this time ? kelly : i do n't think dorian is in any shape to help you . she 's dealing with her own feelings right now ... langston : yeah . you 're right . kelly : but i do know what i would tell you , and i think dorian would agree . langston : well , anything , please . kelly : do n't get mad . get even . speaking of which , i 'm gon na check on her .

[ cell phone rings ] jessica : hey , kel . kelly : hey , how are you ? jessica : i 'm fine . is something wrong ? kelly : well , i thought there might be . langston told me that brody found out ford might be your baby 's father . jessica : i told him . kelly : and ? jessica : brody was so upset when i told him . you should 've seen his face . kelly : oh , no . jessica : yeah , but we talked about it , and , you know , he said that he could accept this child , even if it turns out that it 's not his . kelly : he did ? jessica , i 'm so happy for you . jessica : me , too . kelly : oh , that 's nice to know that brody is one of the good guys . jessica : eh , he 's pretty incredible . i 'm not sure i 'd be so understanding if the shoe were on the other foot . [ scene_break ] brody : i heard what you said to me , that i could still have the family that i want with jessica , no matter who the baby 's biological father is , if i just let myself . i want that . this child will be our child , no matter what the dna turns out to be , same way yours will be john 's . natalie : are you saying -- brody : i can live with our secret . i wo n't say anything . you 're right . we should focus on what 's good , on the miracle of two babies that are gon na be born and two families that are gon na be created . natalie : thank you , thank you , thank you , thank you . john : how 's it going , guys ? natalie : hey , john . um , brody and jess are officially engaged , finally got her a ring . ha ha ! john : congratulations . that 's great news . brody : well , thank you . uh , i 'm gon na get back to jess . have a good night . natalie : you , too . john : you , too .

[ scene_break ] rex : kelly -- kelly : oh ! [ scene_break ] john : after you . natalie : thank you . so what happened at todd 's ? john : what happened at todd 's ? well , let 's see . ross rayburn showed up . natalie : like you expected . john : mm - hmm . natalie : so is he in lockup waiting to be extradited ? john : no . natalie : oh , no . please tell me todd did n't do something stupid , like shoot him . john : no . todd did n't do anything . eli did get ross cleared of all the charges in seattle , though . natalie : well , how did he manage that ? john : i do n't know , but eli also changed téa 's will so now it says that ross gets custody of danielle , not todd . natalie : oh , i 'm sure todd took that real well . john : as well as can be expected , yeah . natalie : so is everyone in one piece ? john : blair is with him now . natalie : is this possible ? i mean , can they really do this , steal todd 's kid ? john : blair said there was another will that stated that todd was the guardian , but no one seems to have a copy of it , so only téa knows what she really wanted . she made quite a mess when she lied to her daughter about who her real father was . [ scene_break ] ross : you know , manning , you can threaten me all you want , but this document is ironclad . as soon as the court signs off on it , i 'm leaving with dani . blair : oh , yeah , ross ? where are you gon na go , back to tahiti ? your house burned down , did n't it ? ross : plenty of houses in tahiti . todd : she 's not going to tahiti with you . blair : listen . okay . why do n't we just calm down . ross : maybe you should listen to her . todd : why do n't you shut up ? blair : okay . focus on dani . let 's be really nice to ross tonight , and then we 'll go in for the kill tomorrow . ross : remember tahiti , huh ? remember how much we loved it there , how much fun we had ? i promise we 're gon na have that again . i tell you what . when we get there , i 'm gon na get you a brand - new long board . todd : a surfboard ? i 'm getting her a car . ross : yeah . buy her love , manning . todd : you ca n't afford to keep your -- dani : no . okay . stop . stop , both of you , okay ? you 're all talking about me like i 'm not even here , but you need to listen to what i have to say . [ scene_break ] john : cheers . you know , rayburn showing up in llanview makes it pretty clear that he and his brother were collaborating , that eli is still alive . natalie : well , it makes sense that ross would help his brother . i mean , it 's a small price to pay , faking eli 's death , to ensure that he would get custody of his daughter . john : of course , we still have a body in a tahitian morgue that says eli is dead , and we did n't find anything in his room at the palace that tells us otherwise . natalie : we did n't , but i did . renee told me that eli left these sealed envelopes with tips in them for the staff , and someone did n't pick theirs up . john : and you got it ? natalie : yep , still sealed . eli must 've licked the envelope . john : and left his dna on it . natalie : right . so i dropped it off at the lab for analysis , and as soon as we get it back , you can compare that sample to the dead body in tahiti , and if you 're right , they wo n't match , which means the dead body is not eli clarke 's . john : and if clarke is still alive , he had to have made contact with at least one person -- his brother ross rayburn . [ scene_break ] blair : dani , whatever you feel you need to say , you go right ahead and say it . we 're all listening . dani : dad , i ca n't go with you , not right now , at least . you know , i have friends here , really close friends , and , besides , we 're having this memorial for mom , and i need to be here for that . blair : you know , um , ross , maybe you 'd like to go to the memorial . i know téa was a big part of your life , right ? dani : yeah . i 'd like that . blair : and you know what ? we 'd like that , too , would n't we , todd . todd : yeah , absolutely . yeah . blair : yeah . ross : okay , definitely . yeah . yeah . i was n't gon na leave , anyway , until this custody issue was resolved , and -- tell you what -- then you could say good - bye to your friends , and then i 'll take you home . [ scene_break ] rex : sorry about that . jack let me in , he told me to come right upstairs . kelly : someone needs to explain to jack that when you live in a house full of women , you do n't just send a guy upstairs . anyway , did you find david ? rex : well , not yet , but i might be onto something . kelly : great . rex : well , maybe not so great . i think clint might have something to do with where david is . kelly : clint ? rex : yeah . okay . it 's just a hunch , but i saw him over at the palace , and clint still has this major bone to pick with vickers . he was practically doing a happy dance now that the guy is gone . kelly : well , i know a lot of people who are probably doing that dance , as well . rex : there was something in the way that he reacted , especially when i asked bo if he had any idea where david was . my spidey sense definitely tingled . kelly : okay . that 's exactly why i pay you the big bucks . rex : actually , yeah . that 's what i came to talk to you about . i can pursue this clint angle , but do you really want me going after your son 's great- grandfather ? [ scene_break ] gigi : hey , did you ever apply for that grant money for life experience ? james : oh , you 're that girl from the student union who looked at the flier with me . gigi : i 'm not exactly a girl anymore , but thanks . so did you apply ? james : oh , you know what ? i 'm actually just auditing my brother 's class right now . gigi : oh , well , what about when you enroll ? james : actually , i 'm not even gon na need it . since my brother is faculty , i get a free ride . it 's pretty sweet , huh ? gigi : yeah . it 's sweet . starr : i 'm gon na go call outside , okay ? it 's too loud in here . cole : so what 's the deal , man ? i thought you said you were gon na back off . james : i am . cole : then why are you still here after your brother has already left ? james : trust me , this is not about starr . i got your message loud and clear when you came by this afternoon to tell me to back off starr . starr : what ? did you really do that ? [ scene_break ] ford : what was that kiss all about ? langston : well , i thought about what you said about how you were trying to change , and when you stepped down from teaching my class and told me that you wanted to move on with me , i was blown away , but then all that stuff happened with jessica , and i was hurt and angry , but you were right . all that stuff happened months ago . for all i know , you really have n't gone girl to girl since then . ford : i have n't . i swear . langston : and i believe you . you told me that you wanted to start over with me , that you wanted a real relationship , so my question is , did you mean it ? ford : yes ... more than anything . langston : good , because i want that , too . langston : my family is gon na have something to say about this , but i do n't care . ford : you sure ? langston : i mean , i 've tried to deny my feelings for you , but i ca n't . if anything , it just makes them stronger . ford : i ca n't believe i 'm hearing this . langston : well , it 's my choice , and i want to be with you . ford : you really mean that ? langston : i would n't have said it if i did n't . ford : i want to be with you , too , langston . langston : now you can now that you 're not teaching my class . ford : actually , i am . after you blew me off , i got the dean to assign me that class again . langston : and you ca n't get them to unassign you ? ford : well , i already put the administration through a lot of grief . i do n't know if i can make that change again . langston : oh , i thought we had a chance . ford : oh , we do . look . we 'll work this out . i promise . langston : really ? ford : you just kissed me and told me you wanted to be with me , so , yes , i 'm not gon na mess this up . langston : so , what , we just wo n't tell anyone ? ford : would you be okay with that ? langston : i guess we could keep it quiet for a semester . it 's not like we have n't done it before . ford : mm , we should celebrate . langston : you 're right . we should , oh , but i ca n't , not tonight . ford : not even for a little while ? langston : no . i have to get home , and , plus , i do n't want it to be like last time , i mean , quickies whenever we can . ford : yeah . right . no more quickies . that 's a promise . i 'm really glad you changed your mind . langston : what can i say ? you can be very persuasive . ford : you have no idea how much i want you right now . langston : are you sure it wo n't be a problem , you being my teacher , i mean , with all the rules about professors sleeping with their students ? ford : do n't worry . we 'll make it work . langston : good . so i 'll see you tomorrow ? ford : mm - hmm . [ scene_break ] cole : yeah . i did go talk to james . starr : why ? james : to tell me how much he loves you and to make sure that i did n't still think something could happen between you and me . i mean , to be honest , i -- i mean , if i were in cole 's place , i would 've done the same thing , only i probably would n't have been as polite . starr : so that 's all that happened ? james : yeah . yeah . it 's obvious that cole would do anything for you , and , i mean , you 're really lucky to have a guy like that . so if you two do n't mind , i 'm gon na get a jump - start on some homework . starr : sure . i 'll see you later . cole : yeah . i 'll see you later .

kelly and dorian both encourage langston to not get mad but get even with robert ford . as kelly hires rex and is willing to pay him to find and get david vickers to come back to dorian so that she an reject him , believing that it will offer her aunt some closure , she advises langston to do something similar with robert ford . robert has decided that since langston has made it clear that they are through with no chance of reconciliation , that he might as well reinstate himself as the professor of the writing class she needs to take for her major . at that point , she goes to find him and manipulates him to have a `` secret affair with him . she pushes him into the hallway where they can be seen on camera making out . and knowing that he is a professor and she is a student , she has grim satisfaction that she can get him in trouble and she can stop feeling hurt and angry at him . meanwhile , starr upholds to cole that she is committed to him . but she can not keep from thinking about james nor he about her . gigi has insecurities that rex 's relationship with kelly may be more than professional when kelly has hired him to find david vickers for dorian . natalie still has not revealed to john that brody could be the father of her baby . and brody has not revealed that to jessica .

tea 's memorial service is about to start . all the people who loved her attend . todd and ross find they can not be in the same room when ross acts like dani 's father and appears very confident he can get custody of her and take her away . todd first attempts to buy ross off . when ross tells todd he refuses to take his money , todd pulls a gun on him and tells ross he knows how to get away with eliminating him and nobody will ever find ross 's dead body . but blair walks in on them and urges todd to stop . she admits she 'd like to help todd get away with killing ross . but she ca n't let him do it for dani 's and for tea 's sake . john and natalie are working diligently to find dna evidence to prove that eli is not dead . greg is privately talking to the secretly alive eli and warns him that he has a serious brain injury and can not return to llanview or else a fatal injury could happen to him . eli questions whether greg is lying . but greg tells him he does not have to listen to his doctor 's medical advise if he does not want to . it 's his brain . and eli somehow becomes afraid to take his chances and defy greg 's orders to stay where he is . right when everybody is missing tea and telling her `` spirit `` that they need her and want her to come back , we see greg privately entering a secret hospital room . and we see tea alive in the bed .

[ scene_break ] jared : it looks like you are in luck . let 's see what 's down there that 's got you so interested . [ scene_break ] natalie : oh , my god -- where did he -- where 'd he go ? [ scene_break ] tess : what the hell 's going on here ? [ scene_break ] brody : they ca n't take him away from me . i wo n't let them .
natalie is still stuck in the locked room , helplessly watching the video where tess attempts to convince jared that she 's left him . but when tina is alone with him , she tells him she believes differently . he also gets a pep talk form roxy and from charlie . john is on a flight , and he 's having `` dreams `` about marty . she is sleeping in the room where todd lives and having dreams about him . tess discovers that todd has `` feelings `` for marty and warns him he better not defy her or she 'll tell everybody everything . rex and gigi declare that they are going to be together and shane must know that rex is his real father regardless of the consequences , but brody is furious at what they have done . marcie comes by and he goes off on her knowing that she encouraged gigi to dump him .
todd : you ca n't arrest me . cop : judge runyon issued the warrant an hour ago . todd : how ? there 's no evidence . cop : an eyewitness puts you at the scene with a gun . todd : an eyewitness . who 's the eyewitness ? jack : me . i was there when you killed my dad , the only dad i 'll ever have . todd : what ? [ scene_break ] téa : jack said he heard victor 's shooting ? dani : that 's what he said . mom , jack told the police he heard todd kill dad . téa : but i thought jack did n't remember anything ? i thought he 'd been knocked unconscious . is n't that what he told mcbain the night of the murder ? dani : that 's what he said that night , but now all of a sudden his memory 's come back . [ scene_break ] cutter : babe , you home ? hey , buddy . yeah . work did suck . why ? 'cause i walked in on a ménage - a - whatever because the participants chose not to put up the `` do not disturb `` sign . then , i had to chase rats out of a room that clearly came up through the toilet . and the icing on the cake was , i got my very first paycheck for a whopping ... wait a second . you look different . [ scene_break ] [ monitor beeping ] kim : hey , sweetie . i 'm back , and i have the best news . all of our problems are about to be solved , thanks to rex . [ scene_break ] echo : i think you need to give everything you took away from clint back to him . rex : are you serious ? echo : yes , i am . the mansion , the jet , the money , all clint 's money -- you have to give it all back to your father . rex : ok . why would i do that ? [ scene_break ] brody : there 's a warrant out for your uncle 's killer ? who 's being arrested ? natalie : my other uncle -- todd manning . brody : really ? natalie : yeah , i guess lpd finally got enough evidence against him . brody : last i heard , we did n't have much . what changed ? natalie : an eyewitness came forward , said he saw todd at the scene with the gun . brody : someone actually saw the murder ? natalie : yeah . why do you seem so surprised ? [ scene_break ] todd : jack , what are you talking about ? jack : i saw you at my dad 's house . you did n't think i would 'cause you hit me from behind . but i did . todd : no , you did n't . you did n't see me because i was n't there . [ scene_break ] rex : clint 's under house arrest , so he does n't need the jet . viki was nice enough to take him into her place , so he does n't need the house or the money . i doubt b.e . board of directors would let clint run the show while he 's doing time . so why would i consider giving any of it back , and why would you ask me to ? echo 's voice : do n't go to the cops ! you 'll get nothing out of it . kim 's voice : i 'll get to see the look on your face . echo 's voice : i do n't have access to rex 's money . kim 's voice : he can hand it over . echo 's voice : he does n't even know i 'm here . he does n't know that i think he killed victor . kim 's voice : sorry . not my problem , but you better figure it out before i raise the price . echo : i 'm doing this to help you because of gigi . rex : gigi ? what does she have to do with this ? echo : rex , i 've given this a lot of thought . you said that gigi keeps appearing to you , telling you not to give up . rex : yeah ? echo : right . and that delphina woman told you that your father was the key to all of this . so , it started to dawn on me . rex : what did ? echo : that maybe the reason gigi 's spirit keeps appearing to you is because your conscience is bothering you . rex : why ? echo : because , rex , you know in your heart that gigi never would have approved of what you did to clint . [ scene_break ] kim : i know you always thought rex was some kind of god . turns out mr . perfect is n't so perfect . looks like someone pushed him over the edge , way over the edge . rex traded in his cape and tights for a gun and blew the guy away . then somehow , my brother cutter got his hands on the murder weapon . you 'll never guess where it was hiding . remember that ratty old porcupine roxy kept on the front desk of her ratty old motel ? the gun was hidden inside that . [ scene_break ] cutter : what 's wrong with this picture ? i 'll tell you what 's wrong with this picture . i turned you away from the bed so you could n't watch aubrey and me getting it on . now you have a porcupine 's eye view of the whole thing . who moved you ? maid service ? not in this place . did aubrey move you ? probably not , 'cause you creep her out . that 's why i put the gun back inside -- the gun that i need , the gun that is my insurance policy in case everything goes bad . please tell me nothing happened to you . i need this gun . rex is gon na pay a lot of money -- aubrey : what are you doing ? [ scene_break ] kim : bet you 're wondering how rex 's murder weapon ended up in the hind quarters of a porcupine . i 'll tell you . roxy 's as big a genius as she ever was . and rex 's biological mom , echo disavoy -- did i ever tell you about her ? she was clint 's mistress when he was married to queen victoria back when dinosaurs roamed the earth . apparently , they were trying to protect rex by hiding the murder weapon , only the only thing that they could think of was to put it in a porcupine 's ... i still ca n't believe that clint actually slept with that woman . maybe she was more attractive when she was young . [ scene_break ] rex : it 's funny you should mention that , because i 've thought of that , too , that maybe gigi would n't approve of how i handled things with clint . echo : i did n't know her very well , but i do know she was a good person . rex : yeah , she was the best . echo : and clint has been a perfect ass , not accepting you as his son . maybe gigi did n't like the idea of you taking everything away from a dying man in exchange for her heart . rex : well , he deserved it . at least he did at the time . echo : you sold gigi 's heart to clint , and you took everything away from him , including his pride and his dignity . what good has it done ? rex : it made me feel good . echo : did it ? for how long ? a day ? maybe two ? and now you 've made things worse between you and clint , which , honestly , i did n't think was even possible . he ca n't possibly be a real father to you now . do you really think that 's what gigi would have wanted ? rex : we 'll never know , will we ? echo : you know , rex . you know . gigi would have wanted her heart to broker peace , not war . honestly , i think her soul is suffering because of that . do n't you think it 's possible maybe that if you gave everything back to clint that gigi 's heart could rest in peace and maybe you and shane could find some peace , too ? [ scene_break ] dani : before the service , jack told me the police had an eyewitness . téa : and he told you it was him ? dani : he did n't get the chance to . when it was all over , i found him at dad 's grave . i asked him about it . téa : what did he say ? dani : he told me his memory was all fuzzy the night of the murder , because he 'd been knocked out , but now he remembered . he said he saw todd with the gun . todd clobbered him with it and picked up jack 's keys and let himself in . then jack heard the gunshot , and after that he passed out . téa : he told you all that ? huh . and when did his memory clear up ? dani : yesterday . that 's when he went to talk to john mcbain . téa : he told mcbain all this before telling any of us ? why ? dani : i asked jack the same question . he said he did n't want to make dad 's funeral about todd . he did n't want to upset us . téa : is that right ? dani : that 's what he said . why ? what are you thinking ? [ scene_break ] todd : ok , jack , why do n't you just tell me what it is that you told the cops ? jack : i told the cops the truth . todd : you did n't tell them the truth if you said that i was there , because the truth is i was never there . jack : yes , you were there , the same way i was . todd : ok . let 's just start again . jack , why do n't you tell me exactly what you said to the cops . jack : i was about to go to my dad 's house to let myself in , and i took out my keys and looked up and saw you . you were holding the gun . it was right before he bashed my head in with it . todd : ok , go on . what happened next ? jack : so you picked up my keys and let yourself in . then i heard my dad say , `` oh , my god , what the hell are you doing ? `` that 's when i heard the gunshot . that 's when you shot him . todd : seriously ? jack : oh , come on , scarface . you know all this . what are you asking me for ? you know it . todd : do i ? [ scene_break ] aubrey : why are you messing with that porcupine ? cutter : why do you think i 'm messing with him ? aubrey : you turned in the gun , right ? please tell me that you 're not holding onto it so you can blackmail rex . please . cutter : no , i told you i was gon na turn it in , and that 's what i did . i was just straightening up . aubrey : straightening up ? cutter : yeah , i wanted to look nice -- nicer for when you came home . boy , are you a sight for sore eyes . aubrey : i was out grabbing us dinner from the buenos dias . did you have a rough day ? cutter : the roughest , but knowing that i have you to come home to makes it all worthwhile . aubrey : ooh , you know what else is worthwhile ? bathing . with soap , shampoo , lather . cutter : you 're turning me on right now . should i even bother going into the shower ? aubrey : yes , definitely . i will set our dinner . you wash off work . cutter : ok . aubrey : do n't worry . i 'm not gon na get rid of your precious porcupine . cutter : better not . love that guy . aubrey : so , needles , level with me . was cutter really just straightening up ? he 's not lying to me , is he ? [ scene_break ] kim : so roxy and echo had rex 's gun in the porcupine , and then roxy accidentally sells the thing to my brother at the flea market . my brother did n't know the gun was in there , but once he did he was gon na hold onto it as kind of an insurance policy . but cutter does n't have a friend holed up in an expensive hospital room , so i win . and i already made a deal with echo . i 'll give her back the gun as soon as she convinces rex to give clint back all his money . [ scene_break ] rex : you think that 's why gigi 's appearing to me , because she wants me to give back clint 's millions ? echo : yes , i do . rex : but she knew how much clint hated me , and she did n't give a damn about him . and i thought , as my mother who says she cares about me , you did n't either . echo : i do care about you , rex . i hate clint for the way he 's treated you . believe me , there 's no love lost between the two of us , but that 's not what this is about . rex : what 's this about ? echo : it 's about you . ca n't you see that i 'm trying to protect you ? rex : from what ? echo : from you . torturing yourself over what you 've done , from using your guilty conscience to conjure up gigi to haunt you . this is about your soul , rex . rex : my soul ? you do n't think that 's a little dramatic ? echo : maybe , but i 'm being serious here . i 've given this a lot of thought . i think maybe that 's why this delphina woman said that gigi wanted you to see clint . rex : actually , you 're wrong . echo : really , and how 's that ? rex : i figured out why gigi has been steering me to clint . he has another piece of the puzzle . he gave me a lead . echo : what kind of lead ? rex : i need to go back to kentucky . [ scene_break ] kim : it 's like killing two birds with one stone . clint gets back the money that 's rightfully his and then he could give us what we need to pay your bills , and no one in llanview ever has to know who my friend is , which is exactly how we want it , right ? of course , this all depends on echo coming through for us . do n't worry . rex 's mom is n't going to let him go to prison for murdering victor lord . [ scene_break ] brody : i just figured if there was a witness , they would have come forward by now . who is it ? natalie : jack manning . he hit his head that night . brody : i remember . natalie : now he does , too . apparently , everything came back to him . brody : guess that can happen , right ? natalie : not to everyone . it has been months since marty pushed me off that roof , and i still ca n't remember what we were fighting about . todd swore to me that he had nothing to do with this . brody : and you believed him ? natalie : yes , i did . he was worried about jack , and he wanted to convince him that he did n't have anything to do with victor 's murder . brody : you do n't think he was playing you ? natalie : i guess i should n't put it past him . he 's never given me a reason to trust him before . brody : that 's what i figured . natalie : but somehow i did this time . yet if jack was there and his account was enough for john to get a warrant , then i guess maybe todd did do it . brody : looks that way . natalie : brody , i need to apologize to you . no , i should have never thought that you would have anything to do with victor 's murder . [ scene_break ] dani : what do you think about jack 's memory suddenly coming back ? téa : what do you think , mija ? dani : i do n't know . i really ... we both know jack . he hates todd manning . and it 's not exactly like he 's known for telling the truth . the thing with shane 's mom ? téa : there was that . dani : but would jack actually lie about todd killing dad ? [ scene_break ] jack : you know what you did . todd : no , i do n't . i do n't know what you 're talking about , jack . everything you said is a lie . tell them that . come on , tell 'em . tell 'em it never happened , jack . jack : but it did happen . i heard you . i heard you shoot my father in cold blood . john mcbain has my statement . todd : stop . what are you doing ? he 's lying . my son is lying . [ scene_break ] aubrey : cutter , you gon na be in there awhile ? all right . here goes nothing . cutter : aubrey , did you say s -- what are you doing ? aubrey : nothing . i was just making friends with little needles here . cutter : making friends . aubrey : yeah . it 's called aversion therapy . it helps people deal with their phobias , like some people have irrational fears of heights or close spaces . i have an irrational fear of -- cutter : taxidermy ? aubrey : you got ta admit he 's creepy . cutter : i think you do n't trust me . aubrey , tell me i 'm wrong , please . aubrey : i 'm sorry , cutter . i have to look ! cutter : do n't do it . aubrey : i walked in , and i saw you , cutter . you were fooling around with that porcupine ! i did n't just say that . whatever . the thing i need to know is why . cutter : i told you why . and i said you could trust me . you need to prove that you do . no . i 'm sorry . aubrey : oh , my god . cutter : i 'm sorry . aubrey : it 's empty . [ scene_break ] kim : my brother cutter does n't know his precious porcupine is empty . i snatched the gun right from under him . poor guy . anyway , i bet this thing is filled with rex 's prints all over it . i could probably send him to prison for a long , long time . now do n't get your i.v.s all in a twist . i wo n't let it come to that , not when i have our friend nina here . if i play this right , everybody wins . clint gets his money back , rex does n't get caught , and you get better . it 's like a fairy tale , only this time i 'm the fairy godmother and this gun is the magic wand that 's gon na get you better again . [ scene_break ] echo : what do you mean ? why do you have to go to kentucky ? rex : i have no idea , but i took your advice and i talked to clint . echo : my advice . right . rex : when i walked in , he was on the phone with a hospital in kentucky . when i asked him about it , he said that kim andrews -- that 's his ex . echo : i know who she is . rex : that she 's got this friend who 's pretty banged up . so clint 's trying to help out her by helping out kim , and i think that gigi wants me to find out about this friend , too . echo : but why ? what does this have to do with gigi ? is this friend someone that you know ? rex : i do n't know , but i feel that i overheard clint talking about this friend for a reason . i have no idea what it means . i just know that somehow this has to do with gigi and me . [ scene_break ] natalie : when you were in victor 's office , and you were arguing and the secretary overheard you guys , it was just words , and i should have known that . there 's no way that you would seriously threaten him . brody : natalie , you do n't have to apologize . natalie : no , i really do . it 's ridiculous that i would even suspect you , and you were right . i was just on edge about victor 's murder . brody : he was your uncle . even if you did n't get along with him , he was still your family . natalie : and that woman 's boss . imagine how totally freaked out she must have been to find out that the man she 'd been working for was murdered , which is probably why she made it such a big deal about what you said and felt she had to come in and accuse you . brody : probably . so what did john have to say about what she told you ? natalie : i did n't tell john about it . [ scene_break ] todd : can you give me one second to talk to my son , please ? can i just have a word with him ? please ? son ... jack , i do n't know when you turned into such a little liar -- jack : oh , nice , dad . accuse your own son of lying to the cops , after you keep telling everyone how much you care about me . todd : i do care about you . jack : oh , that 's bull . todd : no , it 's not . jack : yeah , it is . we all know what you did . why do n't you just tell them , tell the cops how much you hated my father , how you took the gun from aunt dorian 's safe ? todd : yeah , i took the gun . i told everybody that . why would i do that if i was guilty ? jack : you think i know why you do anything other than you wanted dad dead ? so you knocked me out , just like you did at his office . you stepped over me , your own son , and killed my father . todd : no , i did n't , jack , and you know it . jack : i told john mcbain everything i know . he obviously believes me , 'cause he sent cops here to arrest you . you 're going down , scarface . [ scene_break ] téa : jack 's been really upset since victor died . he 's obviously very confused . dani : jack thinks anyone who does n't blame todd is a traitor . téa : well , he thinks of victor as his father . what about you ? dani : i do n't know . it 's weird . téa : you can say that again . dani : i do n't know todd , either . i do n't , but ... it 's not like i knew victor for that long . the whole time i was growing up , i thought that ross was my father . téa : i 'm to blame for that . dani : i do n't blame anyone anymore . ross was great . victor was , too . téa : they both loved you very much . dani : now it seems like finding out victor was my dad was pretty tame . téa : you mean as compared to finding out he was really your uncle who 'd been brainwashed by his evil mother to impersonate your father ? dani : and my dad 's really his twin brother and a murderer , at least according to jack , right ? do you think he did it ? [ scene_break ] todd : look at that . look . look what 's about to happen because you 're lying . i get it , ok ? jack , i get it . you 're upset that victor is gone , but do n't do this . if you do this , trust me , you 'll regret it . jack : is that a threat ? you guys heard that , right ? todd : oh , no , i did n't mean it like that . i meant that you would really regret it . jack , go ahead , come on . tell 'em you 're making this whole thing up . you do n't know me , but i know you . i spent 8 years away from you . i spent 8 years in prison thinking of you . why would i escape from jail just to get myself thrown into another jail ? it does n't make any sense . jack : that 's what i 'd say if i were you , too . todd : you hate me . that 's ok . you do n't want me to be your father because you miss my brother . that 's ok , too , but do n't do this . you put me behind bars for a crime i did n't commit , and you wo n't bring victor back . you 'll just lose the only father you have left . [ scene_break ] aubrey : cutter , i 'm so sorry . cutter : yeah , me too . aubrey : i should n't have doubted you . i should have just trusted that you turned the gun in to the cops like you said . cutter : that 's what i did . aubrey : ok , listen , i 'm trying really , really hard to trust you , but it is kind of hard . we 've been conning our way across the world and lying to people for so long . cutter : yeah , but never to each other , at least until you fell in love with a mark . aubrey : you 're right , and i 'm sorry . i 'm gon na try to do better . can you please just forgive me for doubting you ? cutter : of course , i can . [ scene_break ] kim : clint was really sweet about you , by the way . he wanted to have you moved to a new hospital . that way i could stop dancing and only take care of you . but i had to put a stop to that . you and i both know no one in llanview can ever see you . [ scene_break ] echo : are you sure that this sick friend of kim 's really does exist ? rex : i heard him on the phone with the hospital . echo : but you and clint hate each other . why would he give you any information ? why in the world would you believe anything clint says to you ? he could be sending you off on a wild goose chase . rex : no . clint was being straight with me . echo : how can you be sure ? rex : because ... i know how much he cares about kim . and believe it or not , we did have a pretty decent talk . not that i 'm gon na give anything back . right now , i 'm flying my jet to kentucky . do you think you could look after shane ? echo : of course . rex : thank you . i wo n't be gone long . i 'll call you when i know more . echo : wait , rex . before you go , just promise me something , please . promise me that if this trip turns out to be a dead end , that you 'll at least consider giving everything back to clint and giving gigi some peace and maybe saving yourself in the process . i know that not much of this makes sense to you right now , but i really am trying to help you . i do n't want to see you suffer . rex : i appreciate what you 're saying , i do , but i 'm doing fine , especially now that victor lord 's out of the picture . [ scene_break ] brody : you did n't tell john what victor 's secretary said ? natalie : no . after i spoke with you , i did n't think that it was necessary . look , your argument with victor was heated , but it was meaningless . i did n't think it was gon na help john 's investigation . brody : natalie , i do n't want you covering up anything for me . natalie : i did n't , and it 's a moot point . jack was a witness , and they 're gon na arrest todd , and we do n't have to worry about what victor 's secretary heard or thought she heard anymore . brody : right . what do you say you and me get out of here , go pick up liam from roxy , and spend the rest of the evening with our son ? natalie : i like that idea . i 'm gon na go get my stuff . [ scene_break ] téa : i thought i knew todd so well . dani : but not anymore ? téa : he spent 8 years in that facility . none of us know what kind of damage that did to him . dani : you think he 's capable of murder ? téa : i think most of us are , given the right circumstances . dani : but to kill his own brother ? téa : todd was furious with victor . he blamed him for having stolen his life . dani : todd 's always had a temper , right ? everything he did , all the stuff i read online about him . téa : he never killed anyone in cold blood . dani : but now you think he could have . téa : i think the real question is if jack is lying . i used to think that i knew him , too . but this past year , after everything that happened -- dani : yeah , he 's done a lot of stuff i never thought he would . téa : i have to believe that what happened to gigi was an accident . dani : but what happened after was n't . jack lied to the police , mom . téa : you think he could be lying now ? dani : what if he 's lying again ? [ scene_break ] todd : it 's not too late for you to take it back , you know . cops wo n't be angry with you for making something like this up . john mcbain will understand . you were angry . you thought that i did it , but you know now that i did n't . tell them , jack . tell 'em you made it all up . take it back . jack : i know what i saw , and i saw you . cop : you have the right to remain silent . anything you say can be held against you . todd : on victor 's grave , i did n't do it ! cop : you have the right to an attorney . if you can not afford one , one will be appointed -- todd : i 'm pretty sure i know where victor wound up , but you need to know something . you need to know , wherever he is , he 's watching you right now , jack . cop : come on , let 's go . [ scene_break ] natalie : liam is down for the count . brody : finally . natalie : that little thing when he 's trying to fight sleep , that ... brody : i love that . natalie : you know , that 's when he reminds me the most of you . brody : really ? natalie : well , you do the same thing . do n't you see yourself in him ? or do you just not believe that i do ? brody : here . what i ca n't believe is this , being here in our home with you and our son , the three of us all together . and we 'll wake up tomorrow morning and the day after that and the day after that . we 've come so far . did you ever think we were gon na be this happy ? natalie : no . no , never , but here we are .

john is still diving and searching for the gun . natalie is waiting for him to resurface . she runs over to him when he is out of the water . `` did you find the gun ? `` he tells her that the currents below are very strong and the gun could have been dragged out downstream because of that . suddenly , he opens his palm presenting the gun to her . her face changes to one of gladness . nash is on a binge and keeps ordering drinks . claudia tells him that if he has a drink , she will have one too . he does n't believe her but she is n't kidding and he has to grab her glass away from her quickly when he realizes that she has the glass to her lips . spencer ends a call to his lawyer and informs bo that he will be out in an hour . he says that his son using this case to retaliate for not being a good father is going to get him out as that is the wrong thing to do . bo says that hugh did n't know of their relationship until after the man was arrested . david is in the room and he is shocked to hear that spencer 's son is hugh . he finds it typical that spencer would use the news of his son to haggle his way out of prison . spencer 's lawyer does n't believe that his client was in breach of his probation , or that he had a gun that was tossed away . he and spencer start walking out . they will let the judge take things from here . john walks in , stopping the determined duo and arresting spencer for the murder of john mcbain . cristian fights the good fight . he does as well as he can , and vincent even thinks that ted was able to stop the deal in time . when he finds out that nothing was stopped , he immediately panics but watches quietly . cristian fights , and in spite of being drugged , he holds up well . evangeline can see that something is wrong but vincent tells her that he is just fine . abbot manages to get a good hit and cristian hits the mat unconscious . when he wakes , he learns that he was knocked out and has lost the fight . layla comes over to tell him that there is trouble and there is to be an investigation into whether cristian took a dive or not . evangeline knows that he has been drugged and will get the tapes of the fight to prove it ! john shows the gun and it is immediately tested , nailing spencer 's coffin shut . bo gives john the privilege of taking the crazy bastard to his cell . he walks along behind john , meekly , without a cocky bone in his body .

[ scene_break ] brody : oh , i know that sounds crazy . natalie : yeah . yeah . it kind of does . what does my uncle 's murder have anything to do with you asking me to marry you ? brody 's voice : looks like the only person who knew the truth is gone . victor is dead , and the truth will be buried with him . we 're home free , son . you 'll be my boy forever . no one will ever know that i 'm not your father -- and john will never know that you 're really his . brody : your uncle 's death was a shock to everyone . it reminded me how short life is and how fragile . you 'd think as a soldier and a cop , i 'd have seen enough to figure that out , but for whatever reason , this time , it really struck home . you have to grab happiness while you can , and watching you tonight with our boy and how beautiful you look and how happy you and liam make me -- natalie , we 're a family . so i just thought , you know , `` why not make it official ? `` natalie : you really are serious . brody : yeah . i am , and you know what ? if you 're gon na make it official , i need to do this right . natalie : what are you doing ? brody : hey , i promise i 'll get you a real one soon , but for now , this is gon na have to do . natalie banks -- will you marry me ? [ scene_break ] john : you know , victor was the only father that jack ever knew , and now he does n't want to accept that , you know , it 's really manning . bo : no . he wants manning out of the picture . john : exactly . so suddenly , he remembers seeing him at the scene when we ca n't find anything that actually places him at the scene . so here we have manning in custody for probably the one thing he did n't do . bo : so if jack is lying and manning is innocent , then that leaves us with , who do we think killed victor jr. ? [ scene_break ] todd : i 'm innocent . the only reason i 'm here is because my so -- someone said that i was at the scene of the crime . irene : how noble of you to protect your child , even though he has done nothing but scorn and malign you . yes , todd . i know that the witness was my grandson jack . todd : how ? how do you know that ?

[ scene_break ] john : truth be told , we really do n't have a lot of evidence pointing to other suspects . bo : well , let 's forget about evidence . what does your gut say ? who do you think killed victor jr. ? john : my gut says a lot of people probably wanted this guy dead . bo : but just throw out a name . john : throw out a name ? bo : mm - hmm . john : how about rex balsom ?

[ scene_break ] kim : my friend here in the hospital has nothing to do with gigi or clint . her name is annie edwards , and she 's a dancer at the spotted pony , too . in fact , she was working the night you showed up there . rex : what 's wrong with her ? kim : she has this ex - boyfriend , used her as a punching bag . she does n't have anyone else , so i 've been taking care of her . anyway , she 's all better and she was released this morning . rex : really ? kim : mm - hmm . rex : that 's funny , because clint said when he offered to have her transferred to llanview hospital , you turned him down because you said she was too sick to be moved . now you 're saying she 's well enough to go home . seems kind of miraculous , does n't it ? [ scene_break ] bo : i know the damage grief can do . i 've been there . john : i know you have . bo : and balsom has changed since gigi 's death , but i do n't think he 's a killer . it just does n't compute . john : ok . bo : do you like anyone else as a possible suspect ? john : irene manning . you know , she and victor had a pretty ugly run - in right here in the station . he would have strangled her if lovett and i had n't pulled him off her . maybe it 's payback . [ scene_break ] irene : maybe if i get what i want , you would get what you want . todd : what do you want , irene ? what is it ? what is it ? that thing that you kept insisting that i had , the thing that i did n't give to them , even though they tortured me consistently for 8 years ! i do n't have it . have n't you figured that out ? if i had it , i would just give it to you so you would finally just leave me alone . irene : poor todd . you think being in prison for 8 years was bad ? just wait . if the police ca n't find that gun , you 're going away for murder . [ scene_break ] natalie : this is not about john , brody . john and i are over . i 've accepted that . brody : are you sure ? you can be honest with me . if john really is out of the picture , why did you turn me down ? natalie : brody , this is marriage we 're talking about . yeah , we enjoy each other 's company , and we have a son together , but come on , we have n't even talked about our feelings . we 've never even said that we 've loved each other . brody : i love you . natalie : you do ? brody : i mean it , natalie . i love you . i want you . i want us , but if you do n't feel the same way , then what are we doing ? do you love me ?

[ scene_break ] rex : matthew is n't suing you because you 're a lousy dad . bo : that depends on which day you ask . rex : he has a mind of his own about what he wants . that 's not about hating you . you should be proud of him . bo : what , for suing me ? rex : yeah . you taught him to stand up for himself . bo : guess that 's one way to look at it . rex : and you 're still the best dad i know because you were trying to keep your kid safe , even if he hates you for it . bo : thank you very much , balsom . rex : so , you 're still on the hook for advice . how do i handle this pregnancy thing with gigi ? bo : okay . you ready ? i will tell you everything that i 've learned about handling women . rex : okay . ready . bo : i do n't know a damn thing . rex : thanks a lot . bo : i 'm serious . that 's the way it is , balsom . guys do n't know , so you ask . rex : yeah . i hate that part . bo : i know . me , too . i do n't know about you , but i 'm lousy at mind reading . rex : yeah . i know . even if you ask , it 's not like they tell you the truth . bo : yeah . then you try mind reading , but you stand a better chance of guessing right if they 're talking . rex : yeah ? bo : yeah . exactly . takes work , balsom . you ca n't just sit back and think that everything is just fine because nobody is yelling , and you ca n't assume that everything is just gon na work out . you really do . you have to work at it . work , work , work . otherwise , you may wake up someday and realize that the relationship is gone . [ scene_break ] nora : before i married clint , i was wrestling with these feelings i had about bo , and you made me look at it . rachel : yeah . nice of me , huh ? nora : yes . okay . yes . it was , actually . it was . you made me really have to figure some things out , and , by the way , just so you know , i 'm really happy i married clint . i love him . i 'm not looking back . rachel : good . i 'm glad . nora : okay , so now it 's my turn . are you worried that you might be torn between two brothers ? rachel : no . like i said , greg and i are n't anything . nora : but so he made you think about and question some things ? rachel : yeah , like i have no business being in a relationship with a man until i know what i want . you know what ? i should actually call the hospital . i do n't know what time visiting hours are . nora : have you had any updates on shaun 's condition ? rachel : not since yesterday . shaun has to wake up . he just has to . nora : what are the chances that they 're giving him that he will wake up ? rachel : well , according to the doctors , every day he 's like this , his chances are worse . [ scene_break ] shaun : give it up , greg . you do n't give a damn about me . it 's all about how you look to destiny , to mom and dad . you were already their hero , but that was n't enough . you had to do what no other doctor even tries . you operated on your own brother . why , so they 'd worship ? greg : shut up ! shaun : how are you gon na look at our little sister now ? [ scene_break ] ross : how much longer do i have to hide in here ? blair : ho ! until i 'm ready to drop the bomb on téa , thank you . ross : could you be a little more specific ? blair : see , that 's the problem . i ca n't really be specific because i do n't know . i mean , i would 've expected téa to say , `` look , todd . it 's no big deal . i 've been married . you 've been married . `` you know . ross : all right . well , that would be no fun for you , would it ? blair : well , yeah , but since she has n't said that , i just have to wait and see when would be the best time to let her know that you were here , and i 'm thinking it might be the wedding . ross : if there is a wedding . the way téa ran out of here earlier -- blair : was it bad ? i was n't really paying attention . ross : i do n't know . i 've seen that look on her face , though . she was furious at todd . blair : i do n't understand . i mean , she knows todd threatens to burn down things all the time . ross : if anything is burning , i 'd say it 's the torch he still carries for you .

[ scene_break ] ross : i just wish you did n't have this thing for todd . i think you and i could have a lot of fun . blair : well , i guess you 're just gon na have to settle for me dropping your criminal charges , okay ? ross : that would be helpful . thank you . blair : all right . then we 'll be finished with our business . you can go back to your little island , and we 'll never have to see each other again . be quiet . ross : [ exhales ] you never know . [ scene_break ] téa : how did you know ? todd : what ? téa : um , my last marriage . todd : well , your last marriage should n't count . we were married for about a minute . téa : exactly . i mean , we 've been married twice -- once for money , once for love . they were both disasters . you lied to me . todd : yes . i know . i know . never again . see , that 's why it 's gon na work , because i 'm not gon na lie to you anymore . téa : you sure about that ? todd : there 's nothing that you do n't know about me , including the fact that blair drives me crazy sometimes . téa : you slept with her , todd . todd : yeah . i know . i screwed up , but you know the reason why is because i was trying to sabotage my relationship with you . téa : and you 're never gon na do it again . todd : well , i 'm gon na get scared again , but i 'm not gon na let blair get to me . i will do something stupid , for sure . i 'll just come up with some new , improved way to do it . [ laughs ] hey , i want to be with you . you . i want to make this work . téa : i wish i could believe you . todd : you can . i 'm gon na prove it to you . [ scene_break ] schuyler : okay , so let 's say that stacy is a terrible parent . all that means is that rex and the baby are gon na need you more . gigi : stacy wo n't let that happen . no matter how rotten she is as a mom , she 'll protect her turf . i mean , you know her . you know what i 'm saying , right ? schuyler : right , so what are you afraid of ? gigi : that rex will have to be twice the parent , that he 'll spend all of his time with his new kid , that he 'll have nothing left for shane and me . [ scene_break ] rex : i 'll do whatever it takes to make things work with gigi . bo : good . rex : just wish i knew what the hell that meant right now . bo : balsom , you 're doing good . you 'll figure it out . hey , son . matthew : hey , can i talk to you ? bo : sure . rex : i got to go . thank you . smart man . matthew : yeah . bo : see you , balsom . rex : see you . bo : [ clears throat ] what 's up ? matthew : nothing . i was just at the hospital with destiny . bo : ah . how 's shaun ? matthew : not too good , not awake yet . doctors say that 's not good , and you know destiny . she ca n't hear that . she 's already planning his homecoming party . bo : oh , that 's tough . matthew : i mean , what do you say to that ? i just sat there . bo : well , sometimes there 's nothing that you can say to make things better . just have to do the time , you know , and to keep people company . matthew : yeah . destiny thinks her brother greg is gon na perform some miracle surgery on shaun . bo : he already tried that . matthew : yeah , right ? bo : yeah . you know , dr. evans , he 's a doctor . he makes mistakes , you know ? he 's not god . he 's not perfect . matthew : nobody said he was . bo : but you 're still willing to put your life in his hands . [ scene_break ] greg : you want me to say that i was arrogant ? you want to hear it ? okay . fine . i wanted to be the hero , okay ? of course i did . shaun : no matter what that meant to me . greg : look . i wanted to give you back your life . shaun : i was alive . greg : you were a ticking time bomb . shaun : you set me up to think that . greg : it 's true . it was a bigger risk for you not to have the surgery . you could 've died at any moment . shaun : i trusted you , so tell me . tell me . tell me , was it worth it ? [ scene_break ] gigi : i love rex , only i see rex and me getting further and further apart . schuyler : well , then you have to say something . gigi : like what , `` pay attention to me `` ? schuyler : yeah , for starters . gigi : before shane was sick , rex and i had all these plans . the minute shane got sick , that 's all we could think about . schuyler : yeah . well , stacy did n't help that . gigi : no , and once we finally knew what she was up to , we had -- i do n't know -- a week , maybe a whole week where it was rex and shane and me again , our lives , our future , and then like that , it was all about stacy and her baby . rex and i , we do n't make plans anymore . we do n't even talk about it . i do n't know -- i do n't know if the future we wanted is even possible now . [ scene_break ] matthew : look . the operation greg would do on me is completely different than what he did to shaun . bo : no . i understand that . let me ask you something . do you think dr. evans , when he went into shaun 's surgery , was 100 % convinced that he could do it ? matthew : i do n't know . bo : hmm , but something happened on that operating table , and it was either something that he did n't expect or something that he could n't fix , but now shaun is where he is . matthew : dad , that 's not fair . bo : no . it is n't , but it could happen . it did happen , and it could happen again . you see , your mom and i , we understand why you want to have this surgery , because dr . evans probably made the same promises to you that he made to his brother , and now you can look at destiny -- you 're gon na look at her folks -- and hopefully , you 'll understand what your mother and i are afraid of . we do n't want to lose you . matthew : you wo n't . bo : but we could . we could lose you , and worse than that , you could lose . that 's why your mom and i say no to this surgery . now , you may hate us , and if you never forgive us , you know , we 'll be broken - hearted , but we 'll live with that because you 'll still be alive , and that 's the most important thing of all . [ scene_break ] nora : i still ca n't believe that greg chose to operate on his own brother . rachel : he thought he was the fastest , best option that shaun had . this has to be the worst thing that he 's ever gone through . nora : uh , yeah . i believe that . rachel : i just wish i knew what to say to him . nora : well , when you see him , you 'll know . [ scene_break ] greg : was it worth the risk ? we ca n't know . shaun : we ca n't ? how about when i die ? will we know then ? greg : no . you will not die . shaun : yeah . greg : i wo n't let you . shaun : what if i ca n't live , greg ? greg : i 'll figure something out . um -- shaun : man , do n't you get it ? you already did your thing , and here i am . it 's out of your hands now , my brother . [ scene_break ] ross : steak . lots , lots of steak . okay . any kind of imported beer is good and mangoes . you got good mangoes here ? blair : oh , i 'll see what i can do . ross : okay . good . mangoes . mangoes , electric grill , and satellite tv . blair : what ? ross : it 's football season . blair , what am i supposed to do in here , read catalogs all day ? blair : you have to be quiet , quiet . ross : you got wi - fi ? blair : oh ! ross : wi - fi , give me a laptop and some ear buds , i 'll find the sports . what ? blair : and that 'll keep you quiet and happy . ross : i will be a quiet , happy little boy , i promise . blair : then i will see what i can do , okay ? ross : thank you . thank you very much . i 'll be here . blair : mm - hmm . ross : do n't be a stranger . it 's lonely out here . blair : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] todd : put this ring on , i will marry you right now . téa : what ? todd : yeah . i got judges on speed dial on my phone . i can get a cat over here . we can get married . téa : ha ha ha ! what , on blair 's patio ? too bad the cabana is not free . todd : well , we 'll go to my house . we can fly anywhere in the world you want to fly to . i can get a judge over here . we can get married tonight , legal , permanent . téa : todd , how many times have you been divorced , just round numbers , 5 , 10 ? do you even know ? todd : 5 - 10 range is probably about accurate , but , see , that 's why this has to work , because i 'd just be too embarrassed to go to divorce court again . téa : oh , so that 's what i 'm counting on , your sense of shame ? todd : i do n't know what else to say . here we go . téa , i want a real marriage that will last forever , and i want it with you , only you . what do you say ? let 's get married . téa : ha ha ha ! téa : listen . todd : put this ring on , i 'll marry you tonight . téa : i ca n't marry you tonight . todd : who 's paddling away now ? téa : i already told you , i want the dress . i want bouquets . i want guests like a real wedding . we ca n't have that tonight . todd : oh , we can work on it , though , right ? come on . well , at least put this back on . téa : you put it on me . todd : uh ... ahh , there you go . téa : it 's my favorite part so far . todd : well , wait till you see the honeymoon . all right , so tonight is too soon for you , and tomorrow is too late for me , so -- téa : what , do i need my scheduler ? todd : well , you want the dress and the flowers and all that , right ? téa : absolutely . todd : mm , one week . téa : i ca n't get married -- todd : no . no `` ca n't . `` i forbid you to say that word anymore . i 'll hire a kick- ass wedding planner . it 'll be done to perfection in one week . téa : well , that 's -- that 's -- todd : that 's a date ? one week ? blair : oh ...

[ scene_break ] greg : do n't tell me there 's nothing i can do . i , um -- i missed something . um , uh -- um , look . just tell me what it is , and i 'll make it right , okay ? just tell me , and i 'll fix it . you ca n't die , shaun . i wo n't let you die . hey , uh— [ scene_break ] gigi : i do n't see how rex and i move forward , and if we ca n't move forward -- rex : hey , how 's it going ? gigi : oh , hi . um , schuyler and i were just hanging out . rex : oh , good . i 'm glad you had company . how 's it going ? schuyler : uh , good . i 'm -- i 'm gon na finish my run . gigi : see you . schuyler : bye . gigi : schuyler and i were -- rex : marry me , morasco .
when matthew observes what has happened to shaun when greg attempted to perform miracle surgery , he gets ready to tell his parents that he may be reconsidering letting greg perform surgery on him . but before he can tell them that , he gets a call from tea informing him that the verdict has come in from the courthouse . todd tells tea that he wants to marry her . but she 's concerned that he is still not over blair . ross wants to be with blair and wishes she was over todd . but she clearly indicates to him that she is not . gigi talks to schuyler alone about the problems she 's having with rex and stacy and the baby . she admits that she and rex are being driven further and further apart . but right then , bo encourages rex to not give up on gigi . so rex goes and finds gigi , right when she is talking to schuyler and appears to want to propose to her .
