[ scene_break ] téa : without further evidence , this will never make it past a grand jury . bo : well , even if we make the murder charge go away , there 's still the matter of todd 's escape . téa : todd is willing to face that as long as you drop the murder charge . bo : i 'll talk to nora . téa : thank you , commissioner . and i want you to know , this is not about todd . i need to find who murdered my husband . bo : i just hope that you 're not putting your faith in the wrong person . [ scene_break ] todd : there 's no evidence . there 's nothing that can put me in that house . irene : oh , you were very careful , were n't you ? todd : how could i kill my own brother and then not know it until now ? irene : well , you talked about it often enough . all those nights in neighboring cells , i encouraged you to take care of -- todd : it was you . you forced me to do it . irene : you did n't do anything you did n't want to do . [ scene_break ] natalie : uh , victor 's secretary stopped by and offered a statement . john : when was this ? natalie : a couple of weeks ago . john : a couple weeks ago ? i do n't remember seeing anything in the files . natalie : i did n't think it was worth recording . john : excuse me ? natalie : her statement was n't relevant to this murder . john : oh , you made that determination . what did she say ? natalie : she said that she overheard a conversation in victor 's office between victor and brody . john : between victor and brody . what were they saying ? natalie : i do n't -- i do n't -- i do n't really remember . brody : i threatened him . natalie : brody , you do n't have to say anything . brody : it 's okay . i told him if he did anything to hurt me or my family , i 'd kill him . [ scene_break ] todd : i did n't kill my brother . you know , you ... you -- you kill your brother , that 's something you remember , right ? how could i block something like that out ? irene : force of habit . eight years in captivity taught you to bury the parts of yourself that you did n't like . but i know the real you . todd : no , you do n't . you do n't know me . you do n't know me . you do n't know anything about me . irene : i know you are the son of victor lord . do n't you forget it ... because nobody else will .

[ scene_break ] roxanne : let go of me . your sister needs to know that john loves her . rex : do n't you think he should be the one to say that ? roxanne : he ca n't ! rex : why the hell not ? roxanne : he ca n't ! it 's his pride ! rex : oh , well ... then i think she 's better off without him . she 's got a good guy , rox . he makes her happy . they 're starting a family together . roxanne : brody is not the one . rex : he could be ... if she gives him half a chance , and that 's what she wants to do . roxanne : how do you know ? rex : she told me . she 's moving on , rox . just like me . i 'm letting go of gigi -- she 's letting go of john . now , let her do this , rox , okay ? let her be happy . [ scene_break ] john : well , i can see how you 'd find that irrelevant . you know , brody , you do n't usually threaten to kill a man without provocation . so what did victor do ? how 'd he threaten to hurt your family ? [ scene_break ] téa : i have great news . todd ? todd ! todd ?
while todd is alone in the cabin , he is once again `` visited `` by irene who tells him that he must remembering going to victor 's home in the rain , finding jack 's keys which were lying on the ground , letting himself in and murdering victor . we see that very event occurring and todd being devastated to remember for the first time . he then realizes or wants to believe that it 's only irene haunting him and brainwashing him to believe that and it did not happen . but do we really know ? it appears that neither rex nor shane are `` viable `` suspects . but brody looks somewhat suspicious when shaun and vimal reminds john that the murder weapon is the same as what brody uses and that brody was overheard making a death threat to victor . rex tells roxy that he supports natalie moving on with brody and getting over john . but she adamantly tells him that john is the man for his sister . in kentucky , cutter and rama `` help `` each other by turning kim in for drugging and killing the customer at the spotted pony . meanwhile , the young woman known as stacy who looks just like gigi awakens . yet we do not yet get to know who she really is or what she remembers .
starr : see you guys later . hello . todd : hey , how was gettysburg ? what did you learn ? starr : oh , i learned a lot of stuff -- that battlefields are really boring , and that all my friends are really psyched about the party . todd : oh , that reminds me -- mom wants us to pick out party favors , so let 's go . starr : ok . oh , wait -- we have to sign out with mrs. fischer first . this is my dad . todd : yeah , hi . todd manning . let 's go . mrs. fischer : uh , mr. manning , i ca n't let you leave with starr .

[ scene_break ] kelly : ooh ! did dorian get her jewelry back ? david : no , she did n't . the police have n't recovered any of it . so i cashed in some of her high - yield savings bonds to replace some of her stuff . i want to surprise her when she gets back from new york . kelly : that is so sweet . what else did you get ? david : i got one of every color . kelly : oh , my gosh . wow ! david : what do you think ? kelly : i think you know her taste very well . david : i did n't really know what i was doing . i just told the jewelry story guy to pick out a few one - of - a - kinds that would make any other piece of jewelry feel inadequate -- sort of the way kevin feels around most men . hey , check this out . look at this . kelly : oh , my gosh , it 's gorgeous ! david : you want to try it on ? kelly : yeah . david : turn around . david : what do you think ? let 's see . kelly : how 's it look ?

[ scene_break ] gigi : sorry , michael . i should n't have put you in this position and -- michael : no , okay , listen to me . i can not speak to you specifically about rex , but i can speak to you in generalities . sometimes when there 's nothing more the doctors can do for a patient , the family decides to move the patient closer to home . gigi : closer to home ? like a private facility closer than llanview hospital ? michael : or like a very private , exclusive facility with a room for all of the equipment that rex would need . and with all the comforts of a real home . gigi : are you telling me -- michael : no , i 'm not telling you anything . marcie : thank you , michael . talia : michael , gsw . watch it , watch it . emt : he 's lost a lot of blood . second emt : we were able to stabilize him on the way in . michael : put him in here and call for stat past exam . marcie : did you see that guy ? gigi : what michael said makes perfect sense . adriana would want rex in a place where she would be calling all the shots .

[ scene_break ] talia : is he going to make it ? michael : there 's no way i can tell you that now . [ scene_break ] antonio : you think there 's any chance that vanessa knew ray was on his way to llanview when he left the prison ? sarah : well , how could she have known that ? antonio : i do n't know . maybe he , uh , maybe the warden or , uh , one of the guards knew where jared banks was from . that 's why she bought your freedom and , uh , asked you to bring her here to llanview . cristian : both vanessa and lola are scared to death of montez . i mean , why would she go through all the trouble of making phony passports so she can get away from him ? cop : excuse me , detective vega , should i take her down to be booked ? antonio : give me a second . we 're going to have to take you into custody , at least until your arraignment . vanessa : i will fully cooperate with you . but before he takes me away , i have a favor to ask of cristian .

john knows that dorian had something to do with ray montez getting shot and he questions her . he also notices that vanessa had a pistol and intended to shoot ray also . but cristian defends vanessa to the cops , explaining that she merely protected her step - daughter from the man who murdered her mother . and dorian tells john that she backs the woman ( vanessa ) who prevented a criminal from taking langston away from her family . gigi is not going to accept the fact that adriana is preventing her from being with rex . she and marcie find out from michael that rex has been moved to a `` private care facility `` that is in dorian 's living room . and marcie tells gigi she can help her find a way to get into the house to be with rex . janet , the nurse , tells todd she found out about marty 's history involving many things including her son cole who believes his mother is dead . and she knows that todd raped her . he tells janet he knows all about her shady history and she better not tell marty what she knows . janet has a dilemma on her hands .

[ scene_break ] james : look . starr was here . she was checking on dani , but that was before we knew eli clarke was still alive , and she told me how the cops had found that at her dad 's house , but she told them that i threw it at her in a fight . cole : so she left it here with you . well , makes sense . it 's yours , right ? i 'm not exactly crazy about her covering for you , but that 's really not important right now . the important thing is that starr and hope get home safe . so if you have any ideas -- james : i do n't . i 'm sorry . cole : yeah . me , neither . i guess there really is n't anything that we can do that the cops are n't doing already . i just thought it was worth a shot . james : yeah . hey , cole ... i heard that clarke let manning talk to dani and not starr . cole : yeah . james : eli clarke did not kill starr and hope . cole : sound pretty sure about that . hope you 're right .

[ scene_break ] viki : of course it sounded important . that is echo 's stock in trade . she used to pull the same sort of thing with clint , always drumming up some perfectly innocent reason why she simply had to see him while all she wanted was to get him into bed . charlie : okay . look . i do not think that she is trying to get me into bed . she knows how solid you and i are . look at this . she sent us pictures she took of the two of us . viki : oh , my goodness . look at that . see ? now , that is a lovely picture of the two of us , and yet on the back , she writes , `` handsome as ever , chuckles . `` amazed she did n't include her phone number . charlie : look . it 's just a photograph , viki . viki : no , darling . it is not . it is bait . she had an agenda then . she has one now , and , sweetheart , you are at the top of her list . charlie : okay . is there any possibility that you are being just a little bit paranoid here ? did rex come up with anything in his investigation of echo 's evil agenda ? viki : no , actually , not yet . however , he did find out something rather interesting . charlie : uh ... [ scene_break ] echo : what are you doing in here ? rex : well , i 'd like to ask you the same question . echo : what am i doing here ? this is my room . rex : no . i do n't think so . this room belongs to eddie johnny . echo : eddie johnny . rex : yes . room 18 . echo : this is room 8 . rex : oh , i 'm sorry . i was supposed to check to see if 18 needed towels . echo : oh , wait . wait a minute . it 's rex , is n't it , friend of clint buchanan 's . rex : believe me , i 'm no friend of clint buchanan 's . echo : so you work here . rex : my mom owns the place . sometimes i help her . echo : you 're roxy 's kid ? huh . strange . i do n't see the resemblance . rex : roxy is not my biological mom . maybe i look more like my dad . well , i would n't know , since i never met my father . echo : well , i 'm sure there 's a very interesting story there , but , seeing as this is my room and i am extremely tired -- rex : right . i guess i 'll see you around maybe . [ scene_break ] viki : rex found out that echo got a speeding ticket here in llanview less than a year after she slithered out of town . charlie : so ? viki : so when she left , she promised never to return , and what 's more , she just today told dorian that she never did come back . so , obviously , she 's lying . charlie : or maybe she forgot , or maybe she was just passing through on her way to someplace else . you know , from what i understood of the way people felt about her when she left town , i would think that maybe she would want to race through town if she came here . viki : sweetheart , that 's not the point . charlie : look . i know you do n't trust her ... viki : ho ho ! yeah . charlie : and you have good reason . all i 'm saying is that maybe you 're looking for answers where there are n't even any questions . viki : you really think that i 'm making too much of this ? charlie : let 's say that she did come through llanview one more time . obviously , she did n't do anything that caused any trouble . [ scene_break ] rex : gigi , i 'm glad you 're still here . gigi : you , too . what 's up ? rex : check this out . gigi : oh , that is so sweet of you to dig this up , but i 'm doing just fine going off my memory . rex : huh ? gigi : wait a second . when did you take this ? rex : like , 5 minutes ago in echo disavoy 's hotel room . gigi : oh , wow ! looks just like the other half . rex : yeah , the one - of - a - kind necklace that was handmade in new mexico , and if my mom lily left her half of the necklace with me at the hospital after i was born -- gigi : then maybe this half belonged to your father . [ scene_break ] james : any news about starr ? langston : i 'm afraid not . james : all right . look . if you came here to warn me about staying away from starr when she gets back -- langston : ford asked me to come over here . he 's with hannah now . he said he needed to talk to her alone . james : wait . i know what you 're thinking , but he 's doing that -- langston : for starr . i know . he told me , but he also told me that you would explain everything , so go ahead . i 'm listening . ford : you 're not still hung up on cole , are you ? hannah : i 'm not hung up on cole . we have a very special relationship . ford : no , hannah . i 'm sure you do , just not the kind of relationship that he has with starr . i know . i know what that 's like to want somebody who ca n't get over their first love . that 's the way it was with me and langston . langston : so you think hannah had something to do with starr 's disappearance ? james : well , i do n't know if she 's working with eli clarke or if she cooked something up herself , but when i saw my chain sticking out of her purse -- langston : no . i know . i had a few weird hannah moments , too . yeah . markko and i basically told cole to watch his back when it came to hannah , and she overheard us . james : did she freak out ? langston : no . that 's what 's weird . she was all reasonable and understanding and , `` gosh , if i were you , i would n't trust me , either , `` but then as soon as she left , one of hope 's stuffed animals magically appeared . james : just like my chain magically appeared in her purse , and then when i confronted her about it , she was like , `` go for it with starr . `` langston : what ? james : yeah . langston : so what , ford is over there pumping her for information ? james : yeah . i asked him to . he 's doing it for me . langston : wait , but cole still thinks that hannah is his friend . we have to tell him . james : no . wait , wait . i would n't do that . just hold off , okay ? cole came here earlier , and we were gon na put our heads together to try and find starr . langston : great minds . james : yeah , but i was gon na tell him about hannah , and -- langston : and what ? james : he completely trusts her . so if we tell him the truth , yeah , he 's gon na feel totally betrayed , and you know him . he 's not mr . cool , calm , and collected , so he 's gon na go confront her , and if he does -- langston : she might completely shut down , and we 'll never find out where starr is . james : and we can not risk losing starr forever . [ scene_break ] ford : no . you and i both know that there should only be two people in a relationship , and langston , she was never really mine with markko still around , just like you can never have cole while starr is in the picture . hannah : what if she was n't ? starr 's voice : james , you found me . james ' voice : you have to come with me now , starr . cole 's voice : no . no . i 'm not giving up on starr . i 'll never give up on starr . starr 's voice : cole . cole 's voice : come on . let 's get out of here . james ' voice : no . starr , you have to come with me now . cole 's voice : starr , starr , i thought i 'd lost you . james ' voice : i knew i 'd find you , starr . cole 's voice : i love you . ford : if starr was n't in the picture , then , yeah , you 'd have a chance with cole , but starr is in the picture , and eventually , the cops are gon na find eli , and they 're gon na rescue her . so you and i might as well see if this thing can work because -- i 'm sorry -- you 're not gon na have a chance with cole . hannah : oh , want to bet ? cole , you okay ? cole : yeah . i 'm fine . what 's he doing here ? ford : just leaving . any word on starr ? sorry . cole : okay . what was that all about ? hannah : ford wanted to see if he could have another chance with me . cole : what ? is he serious ? after everything that guy put you through , he thinks he 's gon na walk in here and take advantage of you all over again ? hannah : well , i 'm glad that he tried because all it did was prove to me that i do n't want him at all . cole : okay . that 's good , then , huh ? hannah : yeah . i mean , you always told me to hold out for the right guy , so it 's exactly what i 'm doing . [ scene_break ] viki : okay . i see your point . if echo had pulled something , we would all have heard about it ... charlie : exactly . viki : but you have to understand , sweetheart , i am not alone in my feelings about echo . even dorian agrees with me . charlie : oh , and that is your measure of sound judgment . viki : charlie , echo tried to capitalize just now on dorian 's grief and her fear about those two missing girls by taking exploitive photographs . charlie : okay . maybe that was in bad taste , but she is a photographer . she takes pictures for a living . viki : i know that . that is how she wormed her way into clint 's life and ended up sleeping with him . charlie : okay , but i am not clint , and i am never ever going to sleep with her . viki : darling , i 'm also not as naive as i was way back then . charlie : and who is ? which is why i 'm saying you should stop getting so wound up about echo . all of your problems with her happened a long time ago . viki : echoes have a way of repeating themselves . [ scene_break ] rex : it 's definitely possible that echo knew my father . maybe she still does . he is alive as far as we know . gigi : so maybe he gave her his half of the necklace . rex : of course , on the other hand , from everything viki has told me -- gigi : mm , that 's true . she could 've seen it and liked it and pocketed it . rex : that 's why i did n't ask echo about the necklace outright . i doubt that i would get a straight answer from her ... but i might get one out of somebody else .

[ bang ] téa : cuidado . dani : what 's the point ? if he 's gon na kill us , he 's gon na kill us , just like he killed ross , just like he tried to kill you . and what about starr and hope ? what have you done with them ? eli : you tell your daughter to shut her mouth , or i 'm gon na shut it for her . téa : eli , eli , she 's frightened , okay ? she 's hungry and she 's tired . she trusted you . we all did . you ca n't blame her for losing her temper a little bit , all right ? eli : look , if it makes you feel better , i want this to be over just as much you do , okay ? téa : okay . and when will that be , eli ? eli : just as soon as i get what i want . [ scene_break ] todd : do n't kid yourself . eli knows exactly what he 's doing . blair : why 'd he try to kill greg ? todd : i do n't know . maybe greg had something on him . how the hell should i know ? you 're the expert . you married him . blair : you remind me of that one more time , todd , i 'll remind you of things that you 're not too proud of , either . got it ? todd : maybe it 's not all that bad . obviously , he had a thing for you . maybe he 'll remember that and try to get in good with the girls . blair : why wo n't he let us talk to starr ? what if something happened ? what if he ... todd : nothing happened to starr . she 's fine . they 're all fine . blair : you do n't know that . and if you give him all that money , he might disappear ... todd : and if i do n't give him all the money ? we do n't have a choice . we got ta pay him .

[ scene_break ] natalie : my guess is that eli has téa . john : based on ? natalie : well , based on the bone fragment , it confirms that greg was lying about téa dying . so where is she ? we know that greg had a female patient at cherryvale clinic , and we know that that patient disappeared the same night that eli went there to collect medical supplies . i think that patient was téa and eli 's got her . john : great . without proof , it 's all just speculation , is n't it ? natalie : yeah , but it makes sense . john : all right , listen . we go to manning without any proof , he 's just gon na screw everything up . [ scene_break ] blair : todd , if you give eli all the money , you lose leverage . todd : what leverage do i have ? he has my kids . blair : he does n't want the kids . he wants the money . give him some of it , but make sure you get the girls back first . todd : i do n't think he 's gon na negotiate , blair . blair : trust me . he wants the money . give him half . if you give him all of it , give him everything that he wants , it could put the girls in danger . todd : but that 's the reason i should give him all of it . blair : todd -- todd : get this thing over with . why has n't he called ?

[ scene_break ] mrs. evans : honey , i 'm sure your friends would like to see you open your gifts . destiny : my friends understand how i feel . darren : always and forever . destiny : and if greg did help eli clarke , it was because he had no choice . eli forced him . [ scene_break ] vivian : he 's okay . do n't you ever do that to me again . where 's his chart ? what else is in that bag ? nurse : just the narcan . vivian : no . the narcan would 've cleared the morphine by now . there must 've been something else in there . take this down to toxicology and put a rush on it . did eli put something in that bag ? did he try to poison you again ?

[ scene_break ] dorian : kelly ca n't lose ace . this time it could destroy her . i am not going to let paul take that baby away from her . david : do you buy his story ? dorian : no . he 's a liar ! he did n't steal that baby away from some grief- stricken mother . no . i 'm going to put an end to his threats once and for all . i 'll see you later , sweetheart . david : wait a minute . you are n't , by any chance , going out to kill paul , are you ?

[ scene_break ] dorian : no , i 'm not going to kill paul . i 'm just going to scare the hell out of him . it 's the least he deserves . he made kelly hysterical with that ridiculous lie of his . david : what if he 's telling the truth ? dorian : he 's not ! i mean , he -- please ! he just needs money , that 's all ! he 's desperate , as usual . goodness knows what he 's gotten himself into , and he does n't care if he destroys kelly while saving himself . david , i really wish you were in this with me . fine . well , with you or without you , i 'm going to do whatever i have to . david : come here a second . come here . dorian : but -- david : i remember the first time i ever laid eyes on you . i remember what you were wearing -- bright orange , prison polyester . dorian : the visiting room at statesville prison . david : the moment i saw you , the security guards and cinderblock walls just faded away , and all i saw was you . it was the most romantic moment of my life . dorian : oh . david : but if you walk out of here all wound up the way you are , you are going to wind up back in prison . dorian : i know what i 'm doing . david : no , you do n't . you 're too emotional . do you realize that you 're about to walk out of this house with a gun that 's registered in your name ? let me handle this . dorian : how ? david : i 'll think of something . now , give me the gun . dorian : come on . i mean , i -- you 're right , but , i mean , i -- it would 've , you know , occurred to me that , of course , i could not possibly go around threatening paul with a gun that was registered to me . [ scene_break ] tico : well , i 'm glad that it was so clear to our father that you were the right choice to take over the family . it must 've been obvious that only you were cold enough and cruel enough for the job . antonio : except that it was you that really wanted it . you said it was your birthright . when our father did n't let that happen , you killed him , too . tico : that 's nonsense , and the rest of that letter is pure fantasy . i have no interest in his filthy world . antonio : really ? hmm . why did you fly from madrid to puerto rico the night before he was murdered ? tico : what are you talking about ? antonio : the airport surveillance tapes . you 're slipping , tico . tico : you know , i think that you need to take a good look at yourself , antonio . you seem so proud that our father wanted you to lead his gang of thieves and killers . no wonder jessica turned to me . and that 's what this is really all about . right ? you 're determined to get rid of me because you ca n't sleep at night knowing that jessica is in my bed . kevin : my sister . do n't question my motives . i thought you might have some influence on natalie , that 's all . sorry i brought it up . from what i 've heard , you did n't treat her very well , anyway . john : natalie 's my friend and i care about what happens to her . kevin : well , if that 's true , then i would think you 'd want paul cramer out of her life as much as i do . john : i 'm trying to work out what angle cramer 's working . i thought maybe it had something to do with your ex - wife . she was involved when -- when he disappeared a couple months ago . kevin : what are you asking me , john ? john : cramer 's burned every bridge he has in this town , and yet still he sticks around . what 's in it for him ? kevin : how would i know ? john : well , you are his brother - in - law . kevin : yeah , well , i do n't want anything to do with him . neither does kelly . see you around . john : yeah , see you around .

[ scene_break ] antonio : the only thing i 'm concerned about is jessica 's safety . got something you might want to see . tico : and i suppose you 're going to tell me what it is . antonio : it 's a list of people , very important people all over the world . it gave el toro leverage . it 's how he ran a multibillion - dollar smuggling ring , never even got a ticket . why am i telling you ? you already know this . you 've been looking for this . tico : why would i be ? i do n't want to follow in our father 's footsteps , remember ? my life is perfect . my beautiful new wife is waiting for me at home . and when jessica and i are together -- well , we have everything we could possibly ever want or ever need . antonio : it might take me a little longer , but i 'm going to break you the same way . now , get out of here .

[ scene_break ] jessica : hi ! tico : hi . jessica : what 's wrong ? tico : nothing . jessica : well , where were you ? i 've been waiting for you . tico : a meeting . it ran a little over schedule . i 'm sorry . jessica : wow . well , from the way you look , it did n't go the way you hoped . what happened ? tico : oh , god , so many questions , jessica . but being that you 're a journalist , i guess i should expect that . jessica : no , i think being that i 'm your wife , you should expect that . [ scene_break ] kevin : you 're lying to me . david : how could i conceivably benefit from this , kevin ? i 'm trying to clue you in . kevin : does paul have any proof ? david : no , paul does n't have any proof . but would you put it past him to steal a baby ? and if ace 's real mother is out there looking for him -- look , it would kill kelly to have to give that baby up for good . kevin : ok , you know what ? i do n't care what paul says . no one is going to take him seriously . david : maybe not , but the media will jump all over the story . kevin : well , then i 'll have to keep him away from the media till after the election . i 'll have to figure out a way to shut him down permanently . i assume that i do n't have to tell you what will happen if you do n't keep a lid on this ? david : you just worry about paul blabbering . if necessary , wire his jaw shut , because if you do n't , i will .

[ scene_break ] tico : i 've upset you . i 'm sorry , jessica . that 's what i was trying to avoid . that 's why i did n't want to tell you . jessica : tell me what ? tico : that i just came back from antonio 's . jessica : what happened ? tico : i warned him not to come here and bother you again . jessica : it 'd explain your new mood . huh . tico : forgive me . jessica : i do . i tried to go out looking for you , though . i asked bertram where you were , and he refused to tell me . tico : well , that 's because bertram protects my privacy , jessica . jessica : i -- i wanted to surprise you , though , maybe go out -- i do n't know -- somewhere for dinner ? we 've just been home almost every night since our wedding . do n't you want to go out ? tico : no , there 's nothing that i 'd like more . it 's just that work has been -- i 've just been so caught up with work . but soon things will settle down , and then i will take you around the world if you want . jessica : well , the palace for dinner would be just fine . tico : well , anything you like . and i 'm sorry again about my mood before . you 've made me happier than i ever thought possible . i only wish i could show you how much i love you in every way .

[ scene_break ] marcie : well , `` tommy `` is actually aaron 's nickname . trooper : how does that work ? marcie : his grandmother hates his name . what can i do , right ? moms . but `` tommy `` is his middle name . his grandma likes to call him tommy , so i guess that i 'm just a little tired , and i -- trooper : so you 're going to take my advice ? get off this road , get yourself some shuteye ? marcie : no question , officer . trooper : all right then . keep driving carefully . just do n't overdo it . marcie : oh , i 'll put the pedal to the metal , do n't you worry . trooper : oh , well , now -- marcie : no , i 'm just -- i 'm just -- yeah , sorry . trooper : take a break -- both : stay awake . marcie : yes , officer . trooper : all right . have a good night , now . marcie : all right , you , too . marcie : oh -- huh . oh , how about that , huh ? whew ! score one for penny and aaron shaw . huh ! oh !

nash and jessica are wondering how they can get jared out of their home , their company and their lives . he goes to capricorn and gets into a friendly conversation with sara . they take an instant liking for each other and they kiss . both natalie and cristian watch and reveal they might be jealous . they warn sara that she should beware of jared . she tells them she respects the fact that jared is unafraid to go out and make things happen for himself without being dependent upon nepotism , the way both natalie and cristian apparently are . marcie is on the run with tommy . a cop stops her . she wonders what he wants and what will happen . but after a long line of questioning , he seems to buy that she is penny with her son aaron and just tells her she needs to get some rest for the night and should check into a motel . john , michael and todd are all wondering what they need to do in order to find marcie and tommy . viki has surprisingly been working as a waitress in a texas truck stop for the last two months . we see how it happened . she randomly booked a flight to tulsa , wound up going to the restaurant to eat and getting into a conversation with a waitress and her manager . and she concluded that maybe she needs a change in her life . so when she overhears that they are short - handed and worried about the success of their business , she concludes that they should give her a chance to contribute and help them . and she gets the job as a waitress .

[ scene_break ] charlie : i am so sorry , viki . i thought that jessica was healed . viki : so did i . the thing is , tess always dealt with jessica 's anger for her . and jessica had -- oh , my god , she was so angry when nash died . and then apparently , it was jared who was the first person to figure out that something was wrong . charlie : hmm , my jared ? how would he know ? viki : well , jared knew tess long before he knew anyone else in the family . i mean , you must know this . tess is the reason that he went to prison . i do not get that i did n't see that this was happening . i 'm her mother and i have the same illness . charlie : okay , look , but you were dealing with nash 's death and the loss of the company and us . viki : but i 'm the reason that tess existed in the first place . oh , god , charlie . what if jared and natalie are missing and it 's because of tess ?

[ scene_break ] todd : what 's this about a baby ? marty : it was incredible . and i had it twice . todd : you had what twice ? marty : i was holding bree and i had what had to have been a memory , because it was so indelible , of holding a baby and reading to him . todd , did i know somebody with a son ? [ scene_break ] starr : why would you tell marcie that i was n't here ? marcie : because she probably did n't want me to know that rex was in your living room . adriana : okay , yes , you 're right . i did n't . starr : okay , i do n't understand . but marcie and rex are friends . what 's so bad about her seeing him ? adriana : it 's not marcie i 'm worried about . it 's her pal , gigi .

[ scene_break ] todd : well , everybody knows somebody with kids . marty : yeah , but -- todd : but what ? i mean , you know , you 're a therapist . you must have had clients who had kids . marty : no , oh , no . no , it 's more than that . you told me i 'm an only child , so that rules out nieces and nephews . but you told me that i had an aunt , so maybe she had a child or -- todd : no , no , i do n't know . i do n't know . i 'm sorry , i do n't know . it could be any kid , marty . anybody would be happy to let you hold their kid . and you 're a natural mother , just wonderful . marty : i was n't just holding him . i loved him . and it was like the truest love i 've ever felt . it was so pure and -- and -- [ marty sighs ] marty : todd , it feels so strong . i still feel it . what does that mean ? todd : um , it means you 're a -- you 're , uh , one of the most caring individuals i 've ever met and that you 're going to be a great mom -- a great mom when we get starr 's kid . marty : i 'm starting to have memories . todd : well -- marty : maybe it 's all going to come back to me now . todd : would you excuse me for a second ? i 've got to – [ scene_break ] tess : ah , i found your secret baby stash , and i took the liberty of using one of the portable cribs and some blankets . you do n't mind , do you ? todd : no , no . tess : and i found the cutest little green frog . bree was drooling all over it . todd : yeah , i 'm glad she likes it . tess : yeah . you 've got a sweet set - up up there . you have quite the plan here , do n't you , grandpa ? [ scene_break ] charlie : okay , what makes you think that jessica could have anything to do with natalie and jared 's disappearance ? viki : well , it would n't have been jessica , would it ? it would have been tess . the point is i have to find them , all of them . because for one thing , when jessie or tess left , she took bree with her , and i do not like the idea she 's alone with that baby . charlie : okay , but if jessica is tess , do you honestly think that she is a danger to her family and my son ? viki : if she 's tess , that means she 's been lying to us for months about who she is and about what she 's after . charlie : boy , and she did blame jared and natalie for nash 's death , that 's for sure . [ scene_break ] jared : dance with me . natalie : to what music ? jared : listen , you 'll hear it . singer : you found courage to let your heart through and i do n't want to let you down it 's a little late to give to how all this can all go wrong please believe me jared : how 's your ankle ? natalie : i ca n't even feel it .

[ téa sighs ] téa : and -- and then -- rachel : okay . it 's a little offbeat , i guess , but still romantic . téa : yeah . real romantic . especially the part where it becomes patently obvious that he was still in love with blair . rachel : did you know you were pregnant ? téa : no , i did n't know at the time . i mean , i -- i was with ross later , and then i just figured the baby was ross ' . rachel : come on , téa , you 're a smart cookie . you had to have known that there was at least a chance . téa : he was fashioning a raft out of palm fronds , rachel , to get back to blair . todd had made his choice , and it was n't me ! [ scene_break ] todd : pain ? i 'm not the one who fell . [ blair sighs ] blair : well , dorian fixed the window . i guess i 'm never going to know whether i fell or i was pushed . todd : so you really think you pissed her off enough to make her want to kill you ? blair : maybe . todd : well , maybe she figured out that you knew what her other big secret was , which must have been huge . blair : you know what ? maybe we should n't -- we should n't talk about it now . todd : well , i thought you wanted to remember it . blair : i do . todd : well , okay , then why the 180 ? [ scene_break ] rachel : todd chose blair , so you chose ross ? téa : look , rachel , todd and i had sex once . the chances were slim . ross and i had sex many times . i figured chances were good it was ross ' . you know , sue me . [ téa sighs ] téa : quite frankly , i did n't want to know . rachel : what changed ? téa : i got a call from ray montez to represent him . do n't laugh . but i figured that was a sign for me to come back to llanview and -- and finally , you know , face todd , to know whether or not the baby was his . so , i had a dna test run . it was n't hard to get a sample . and that 's when i knew for sure . the baby i had had all those years ago was not ross ' . it was todd 's .

[ scene_break ] tom : oh , i 'm sorry if i implied the spankings you administered were -- headmistress : i assure you , mr. buchanan , this school has never administered spankings . tom : huh . oh , you 'll go easy on him ? probably because you 're in a wheelchair . headmistress : you have just earned your house another 10 penalty points . i 'm confident you 'll be happy here , mr. buchanan . please let us know if you 'd like to transfer to another room . tom : top of the evening to ya -- witch . matthew : she 's not so bad . tom : what are you , 12 ? matthew : i 'm 15 . tom : and she is n't okay , she 's the warden . matthew : yeah , and this is a school , right ? so as long as we go to class , we can come and go as much as we want , right ? tom : yeah , and we can play with the unicorns on the way out , right ? you ever read `` tom brown 's school days `` ? matthew : well -- tom : this is a british public school . which means `` private `` in american . which means they can do whatever the hell they want to us . matthew : so we 're on lockdown ? tom : welcome to the club , my friend . welcome to the club . [ matthew sighs ] [ scene_break ] elijah : blair was totally covering in front of her ex . she said she had no idea why you would come to visit her in the hospital . but she also said she was so sorry you got hurt . so when i mentioned dropping the kidnapping charges , she was all for it . manning got a little hot and bothered . he told me to tell you to stick with the wife you have and stay the hell away from blair . ross : right , sure . and you 're -- you 're telling me all this because -- elijah : because you 're going after a woman who ca n't wait to see the last of you . it 's obvious -- she 's still in love with her ex . ross : you want to know who i 'm going after , eli ? my kid . those ancient kidnapping charges -- those are the only things holding me back . elijah : i would n't say that , little brother . you 're out on bail . there are still a few other charges pending . ross : so what am i supposed to do , just sit here and do nothing , huh , while téa walks all over me ? elijah : no , that 's not what i 'm saying -- ross : eli , my kid means everything to me . elijah : i know , ross . just promise me you 're not going to do anything stupid . [ scene_break ] rachel : so how long have you known that todd was the father ? téa : well , when i first got back to llanview , he was in love with marty saybrooke , and he was in jail for supposedly having raped her again . rachel : so you figured leave well enough alone ? téa : exactly . i did n't have the tests run until later . i was representing todd and falling for him hard and fast . i -- i knew i had to know . rachel : so when you found out then , why did n't you tell him ? téa : my child is the most important thing in the world to me . i still did n't trust todd . the one thing i figured had changed after all these years was that he was finally over blair . and then , i found him sleeping with her , yet again . rachel : so , to punish him , you kept quiet about his child ? téa : no . rachel : come on , téa , i 'm not stupid . life is one big negotiation to you . téa : todd sleeps with another woman , i 'm supposed to reward him with our child ? rachel : so you wanted to hurt him because he hurt you ? téa : yes , damn it ! yes , i did ! [ scene_break ] blair : you know , i 've been hypnotized twice to get this memory out , and nobody wants to remember more than me . but i think me falling out of that window was just so frightening that my -- my brain wo n't let me go there . you know ? i -- todd : mm - hmm . blair : i do n't know what else to do , todd . todd : well , i guess you could get hypnotized again and tell marty to make you remember this time . blair : come on . it does n't work that way . and i really want to remember exactly what téa said right before she pushed me out that window . i -- i 'm just -- i 'm afraid . todd : of what ?

[ david sighs ] destiny : when he told them that he was going to seattle to have the surgery , they said they would n't fight him anymore , that they 'd all fly out together , one big happy family . david : the buchanans are a big , happy family . destiny : matthew 's mom begged my brother to do the surgery . and when he said he would n't , she lost it . said there 's nothing she would n't do to keep matthew alive . david : that 's what 's known as a figure of speech . destiny : do i have to spell it out for you ? david : oh , no . i 'm not good at spelling . in fact , in my fifth grade spelling bee , i went out on the word -- destiny : kidnapped . david : no . is that one of those words that has a hyphen in it ? destiny : i think matthew 's parents tricked him onto their plane and then took him somewhere he did n't want to go . david : i 'm starting to get confused . destiny : i saw them right before they left . they seemed all jumpy . david : well , what do you expect ? their son was shipping out for delicate back surgery . destiny : k - i - d - n - a - p - p - e - d. are you going to help me find him , or not ? [ scene_break ] tom : listen . i know what you 're going through , man , but -- your parents left you here , right ? matthew : i thought i was going to seattle . tom : well , rainy enough for you ? matthew : i thought i was going to get the surgery that was going to get me my life back , but i guess my parents thought differently . tom : so , you mean -- matthew : yeah . tom : so that 's what 's with the basketball sneaks , huh ? matthew : yeah . my best friend gave them to me . you know , so when i could finally walk again , i can wear them . she wants me to call her when the surgery 's over . hey , do you have a cell phone i could use ? tom : no . warden took it . listen , i know this blows , but this is our chateau d'if . this is where we bide our time . matthew : i do n't have time . look , every day i stay in this chair , that just lessens my chance of walking again . i ca n't live like this . tom : be right back . matthew : where are you going ? tom : to get you a phone . [ door closes ] [ scene_break ] elijah : still got that temper , huh ? just like when we were kids . ross : you try being little brother in our family , hotshot . elijah : and that 's why you 've got a rap sheet a mile long ? ross : look , eli , this is n't some two - bit scam we 're talking about , it 's my kid . i told you what téa wants me to do , right ? elijah : yeah . sign away your parental rights in exchange for a briefcase full of money . you did mention that . ross : like she just wants to wipe me off the map completely , like we never had a kid together . like i was never a father . elijah : well , i 'm not going to let that happen . ross : it -- you -- it 's happening . it 's happening right now , this day , this second . i do n't know where my kid is . i just -- if i find téa , i swear , eli -- elijah : hey -- hey , you listen to me . if you ever want to see that kid again -- you want to be a father , you 're going to have to finally grow up . all right ? patience , i understand , is a virtue in a parent . ross : look , man , i know that i was n't the best father in the world . and it was never because i did n't care . i know i can make up for lost time if -- elijah : ross , we 're going to find your kid . i promise . [ scene_break ] rachel : todd is the father of your child . téa : yeah . he 's also the father of blair 's children . it 's like she 'll always have that prior claim on him . rachel : he married you . ross : yeah . i forgave him for sleeping with blair . he convinced me that would never happen again . [ téa sighs ] téa : i was going to tell him that we had a child together right before we got married . i figured it would be this incredible gift i could give him , right ? rachel : what stopped you ? téa : oh , god , it 's so selfish . hmm . but i figured that i would always wonder , you know ? rachel : what ? téa : i would always wonder if he was marrying me for me . i did n't want it to be about the kid . i wanted him -- [ téa sighs ] téa : to be marrying me because he loved me .

[ scene_break ] cole : i keep having these nightmares about the way she died . i 'm running to the van and then it explodes . john : yeah , i have that one myself . cole : anyway , i want to remember the way she lived , not the way she died , so i came across this -- this website where you can post a picture of someone who 's passed away and all their friends and family can go on the website and write something about them . now , i 'm not sure what happens to people after they die , but if my mom is out there somewhere , i want her to know that -- that we 'll never forget her . john : i think she knows already , cole .

[ scene_break ] marty : oh , you were n't there when starr was born ? todd : no , i was out of the country trying to help a friend . marty : and you were n't there when jack was born either ? todd : blair was in mexico at the time she went into labor and i got there just in time to -- to help her give birth . marty : so , you were a hero . todd : i would n't say that . there were some complications . anyway , i 'm just glad that i was there to deliver a healthy baby into blair 's arms . marty : well , you -- you said that you missed the births of two of your children , so you were n't there when sam was born ? todd : no , blair is n't sam 's birth mother . i did n't want to leave blair , so sam 's mother let me believe that sam was dead . so i was n't there for him at all , not at the beginning , anyway . marty : wow , um , probably carrying around a little bit of guilt , huh ? todd : for good reason . marty : well , you wo n't have to worry about that this time , right ? starr is going to be able to lead a normal life , live up to her full potential , and we 'll make sure that her baby does the same thing . and you 'll have nothing to feel guilty about .

natalie is at work and she finds herself staring at john 's office door as she goes by and she thinks for a minute that she sees john 's name still on the door . antonio exits and sees her . he tells her that she really needs to take some time off before returning to work but she feels that john would want her to get back to work right away . `` no he would n't , `` antonio says . dorian lays into viki telling that she saw the woman with clint and with adriana . clint comes up and stops dorian 's shouting . dorian tells that adriana has made it her sole purpose to make her life miserable . viki suggests that dorian apologize this time and make things right or she may lose her daughter forever . dorian knows what viki is really after . `` you just want to steal adriana and clint away from me ! `` rex takes the make , model and license plate of the car that todd 's child was last seen in and gives that information to bo to have him get a list of owners . meanwhile , natalie is letting antonio have it for telling her to go home and take time off . she wants to handle her own grief her own way . she hates it when antonio tells her to see a shrink . rex enters the office now and confirms what antonio said about her not being ready to be back at work . viki tries to reason with dorian but then decides that she does n't want to try and help . she storms out . clint tries to leave too but dorian stops him and convinces him to go somewhere with her and talk . michael tells paige that she has paid for her part in his father 's death and that it was a long time ago , and so he will try to let his anger go . he offers his help if she or hugh ever need anything . marcie is talking with hugh when he suddenly moans and starts moving around in the bed . marcie thinks that she heard him call her name and she rushes to get michael to tell him the news . michael does n't see the man moving around now . when they talk about poor hugh and how he had to deal with finding out that his father is a murderer , michael can relate to the pain . his brother will never get to see his father 's killer behind bars . marcie knows that somehow , john will know . the mummy - like body groans . natalie arrives home and her mother agrees that was too soon to return to work . viki tells natalie that she needs to heal and the way to start is to remove the engagement ring . viki too has been wearing ben 's ring . they now remove their rings together . hugh is in the hospital room with michael and marcie . he moves around and michael and marcie clearly hear him say , ' michael ' . it looks like hugh has more to say and so michael and marcie wait patiently for hugh to spit it out !

after the explosion when eli is ready to be taken into custody , but cole is still unable to find starr and hope and believes eli has killed them , he takes eli 's gun and shoots him . marty comes by to see what her son has done and reminds him that he will get charged with murder and go in prison for life for having done that when eli is unarmed and since cole already has a record . cole is sullen and tells his mom he does n't care about his life if starr and hope are gone . meanwhile , james finds starr and hope but hannah finds them and pulls a gun on them . but , she reconsiders knowing that if they are together , she might be able to have cole and so she might not want to kill them . blair finds tea and they attempt to get out of the warehouse but are n't sure how they 're going to do it . todd and john are also trapped . and at the end , todd comes face to face with tea for the first time , having believed up until now that she 's dead .

'cause , you know , she said her name was `` gigi morasco `` and that she lived here , but i know that 's not true because i went and i asked my niece , and she said that gigi morasco was dead . so , this girl , she has to be confused , right ? i mean -- i mean , would n't that be funny ? two gigi morascos in the same little town ? cutter : oh , she 's confused , all right .

[ scene_break ] john : we already know that brody threatened victor , and we have a witness . and if anything could set him off , it 's the idea that he could lose liam . michael : how might he lose liam ? i mean , liam 's his . there 's no way that victor -- or anyone else , for that matter -- could take liam away from him . liam is his son . [ scene_break ] aubrey : i 'll be in the kitchen . marcie : what are you doing running around with that con artist ? rex : former con artist . like that friend of yours , rex . besides , i 'm not `` running around `` with her . she 's doing a job for me . marcie : good . 'cause you 've been through enough lately . and i 'm -- i 'm really sorry that i could n't come sooner . michael and i , we just feel terrible that we missed gigi 's service . but , you know , gabe had this horrible ear infection , and he could n't fly , and we could n't leave him alone . rex : it 's -- it 's okay . we got your letter . it meant a lot . marcie : yeah ? you know , i loved her . when i was at my lowest , you know , on the run with sam , gigi was there for me . she did n't even know me , and she took us in . rex : she had the biggest heart . marcie : you know she loved you -- you and shane . and you know , wherever she is , she still does , rex . [ scene_break ] cutter : stacy is a schemer . the only problem is , she ca n't remember who she is . i mean , the girl had plastic surgery so she could replace her sister and move in with rex . yeah , i know she 's a nut . for right now , she 's my nut . i need to figure out a way to get her in with me . if she could remember who she was , she 'd go in with me in a heartbeat . the problem is , if aubrey 's right and telling the truth and rex is really gon na give all of his money to clint , then we 're running out of time . actually , what am i saying ? no . no . if -- if rex really thinks that gigi has come back , he could -- he could beg clint for the money , and he 'd have to give it to him . okay . so , now i just got to figure out a way to jog the girl 's memory . seeing rex might do the trick , but then i have to figure out a way so that rex does n't see her . 'cause if rex sees her , it 's all over . aubrey : rex and i are friends . that 's all it is . he 's paying me to help him throw a costume party . cutter : that 's it . that 's it , you magnificent prickly little bastard . oh ! that 's genius ! [ british accent ] hello . how would you like to go to a costume party , stacy ?
john 's brother michael and sister in law marcie come to town and they both seem to know that he is not over natalie and something is `` not right `` about the fact that she is marrying brody after having his baby . marcie goes to see rex ready to offer support to him and shane after the loss of gigi . but when she sees that aubrey is becoming friends with rex and she remembers who aubrey is , she lectures rex on not wanting him to get mixed up with her . john recalls with michael that brody had some sort of `` issue `` involving being afraid he 'd `` lose `` liam . but they can not figure out what that would be .

[ scene_break ] viki : oh , my girls . girls , where are you ? where are you ? [ knocking ] viki : hey , charlie . have you heard from jared ? charlie : no , i 'm sorry . i was hoping that you had maybe heard from natalie or jessica . viki : no , not a word . i did hear from somebody else last night . charlie : who ? viki : well , it 's the person who was responsible if jessica turned into tess . viki : you and i have not really talked very much about my illness . you know , my multiples . charlie : no , i just figured you 'd get around to that when you felt ready . viki : okay . [ clears throat ] viki : one of my alters is named niki smith . she -- well , she 's a totally irresponsible , self - absorbed , manipulative , very strong - willed party girl . yeah . well , hard to believe . anyway , i just dreamt last night that she was chastising me because i did not see that jessica could have turned into tess . charlie : well , who would want to think something like that about their own kid ? viki : charlie , i 'm her mother . i ca n't afford to be in denial about that . if nash 's death caused tess to come back , i really should have seen it . charlie : okay , well , she ca n't stay that way for long , can she ? viki : [ chuckling ] oh . tess is very cunning , same as niki was . niki managed to fool everyone in my whole family into believing that she was me . she fooled my husband , clint . [ scene_break ] clint : i have -- i have the company back ? nora : buchanan enterprises is all yours again . lock , stock , and smoking barrel . clint : nora , how did you do this ? dorian hired a hitman rather than give the company back to me . nora : i really would rather forget the whole sordid story . clint : dorian blames you for taking me away from her . how did you get her to agree to this ? [ scene_break ] langston : i 'm glad you 're home . dorian : me , too . adriana : boy , is she in for a rude awakening . dorian : she 's been through a very difficult situation . adriana : poor thing . nice that her mother was there for her . dorian : i kept track of rex 's condition the best that i could , but you never once reached out to me . adriana : layla wanted to call you , but i told her no . i mean , you hate rex . dorian : no , i do n't . adriana : it never actually entered my mind that you would n't show up , though . i mean , he is my husband . and he was lying in a hospital bed in a coma . i was terrified that he was going to die , but i guess you had your hands full with your new daughter . dorian : that is not fair . i would have done anything for you , and you know that . adriana : i know that you did your best to keep rex and me apart . dorian : yes , so you said before you left for paris . adriana : i was angry . and i said some things that maybe i should n't have . but you 're my mother . you should have known that i needed you . dorian : i wanted very much to be with you , but then i -- i -- realized that i was probably the last person in the world you would want to see near rex . i 'm sorry , honey . i know that you love him . adriana : i was all alone . i tried to be strong , but everyone just kept coming at me and calling me cruel and selfish . i just wanted him to live . and i wanted to be his wife again . i wanted it so much that i almost let him die . [ scene_break ] rex : hey , hey , i ca n't breathe . roxy : oh , sorry . you know , i promised myself that i would n't do this . and it 's your party , but i 'll cry if i want to . i was just so scared that i would never see those eyes of yours open again . rex : i 'm okay now , mom . roxy : you 're a good boy , and i love you so much . rex : i know . roxy : all right , i 'm going to stop blubbering . because i got this great eight dollar bottle of bubbly . not to mention the piñata , so let 's get this party started . rex : well , should n't we wait for natalie to get here ? what 's wrong ? [ scene_break ] natalie : i ca n't die in here , jared . jared : you 're not going to die . natalie : how do you know that ? [ scene_break ] bo : natalie is still out of town . roxy : oh , and she 's going to come see you the minute she gets back . but in the meantime , why do n't you take a good whack at the piñata ? rex : what 's going on ? natalie left town before i got shot . are you telling me she never came back ? [ scene_break ] jared : we are going to get out of here . because this time i think i have a real plan to get us out of here . [ scene_break ] tess : i 'll do to them what they did to my life . [ scene_break ] bo : we 're all upset that natalie did n't come home the minute that she heard you were shot . rex : she knows what happened to me ? bo : we do n't know . rex : what ? roxy : i left her like a million messages on her cell phone . you know , if she got any of them she would have been here right now . rex : i told jared that i could understand her not wanting to be around him for a while , but for her to stay away this long , it just does n't make any sense . bo : i agree . rex : tell me what you know , bo . we 'll find her together . [ scene_break ] tess : thanks , aunt tina . hmm . lipstick , jewels , and dynamite , what else does a girl need ? [ scene_break ] [ todd laughs goofily ] tess : when did you turn into mr. rogers , huh ? i think it was marty . she made him nice , huh ? except for the fact that he 's stealing his daughter 's baby . todd : i thought you were going to be gone by now . tess : well , i lied . todd : so go now . i do n't want to be stuck here playing midwife . tess : i need another favor . todd : no . tess : no ? okay , okay . well , then we 'll just have to sashay upstairs and tell marty that you 're giving her starr 's baby to replace the son that you never told her about . but that would kind of blow up your plan , would n't it ? huh ? [ scene_break ] nora : i gave dorian a choice . she could either go to trial for conspiracy to commit murder or she could give you back the company . clint : you had enough evidence to convict dorian ? nora : i adore you , clint buchanan , you know that . but i would never compromise the integrity of this office or miss the opportunity to see dorian go to prison , just to get your company back . clint : so you did n't have a case ? nora : oh , no . i had a case . it was just going to take me well over a year to prepare for it and i 'd have to get -- well , i 'd have to find jackie mcnaughton . and then i 'd have to get him to roll over on dorian . and then i 'm going to have to find a jury that was going to believe the word of a convicted felon over dorian lord , who could sell snake oil to a snake . clint : you were n't holding any cards , but you walked away with the whole pot ? you bluffed dorian into giving back this company . [ scene_break ] dorian : oh . okay . why do n't you tell me what happened ? adriana : i lost rex forever . we 're getting a divorce . dorian : because of gigi ? adriana : i did everything i could think of to make rex better , but it was hearing gigi 's voice that brought him out of his coma . dorian : you do n't know that . he no doubt sensed how much you love him . adriana : well , i sure got an earful of how much he loves gigi . dorian : that woman 's been nothing but trouble since she came to llanview . adriana : i saw the two of them together , you know . as much as rex and i loved each other , they looked really happy . so i had to let him go . dorian : it was your decision ? adriana : it was n't like the writing was n't on the wall , but yeah . i 'm the one that said it was over . dorian : you are so strong and so wise . and now you 're home , and i am going to take care of you . adriana : i have a car waiting outside to take me to the airport . i 'm going back to paris today . dorian : you 're going back to paris ? are you still angry at me ? adriana : no . you were right . rex did end up hurting me . but it was n't his fault . dorian : of course it was . adriana : i was so afraid of losing him that i ruined whatever it was that we had . dorian : you were in love with him . adriana : i kept telling rex how much i loved him and wanted him . the truth is , i did n't want gigi to win . i knew deep down there was n't anything left between rex and me . i just could n't let gigi win . [ scene_break ] gigi : rex , you are not going anywhere . if you bust a stitch , i swear -- rex : natalie 's disappeared . i ca n't just do nothing . bo : look , balsom , as much as i would like your help , you 're going to have to sit this one out and let me handle it . balsom , do you hear me ? [ scene_break ] dorian : i know how you feel . adriana : yeah ? dorian : i tried to keep you and rex apart because i thought i was protecting you , and i ended up losing you in the process . adriana : maybe we both learned something . dorian : i hope so . and langston and i have been through a very difficult situation . and then it turned out all i needed to do to protect her was give clint back his company . adriana : that 's a lot . dorian : well , i sure hated the idea of clint winning , but i did n't want to lose langston . adriana : i guess we both go to extremes to get what we want and to hold onto it . dorian : maybe that is n't such a bad thing . adriana : it is when we lose ourselves . dorian : but we 've found ourselves again . adriana , please stay . [ scene_break ] rex : all right , but i want to know everything you know . bo : agreed . roxy : okay , i admit it . i gave charlie and viki these magic woo - woo candles and they 're going to do the trick and they 're going to bring them back . rex : them ? bo : jared disappeared , too . we hope that he and natalie are together somewhere . [ scene_break ] natalie : i really do n't understand why we 're trying to pry this open . it 's not like we can squeeze through the slot . jared : we 're not going to crawl through the drawer . natalie : okay then , what 's the point ? jared : because your mom is home and if she is upstairs then we 're going to let her know we 're here . [ scene_break ] charlie : you ca n't blame yourself . look , jessica had just lost her husband . of course she was n't going to be the same . viki : charlie , remember the accident i had with dorian in natalie 's car when the brakes failed ? charlie : mm - hmm . viki : i think those brakes were cut . charlie : jessica ? you think that she was trying to hurt you ? viki : no , that would not have been jessica . that would have been tess . the thing is that natalie and jared were supposed to drive that car to the vineyard that night . i only stepped in at the last second . charlie : oh , my god . well , do you think that tess wanted natalie and jared to be in that accident ? [ scene_break ] tess : you know , todd , i am capable of putting down my daughter . todd : you 're not going anywhere near marty until we finish our business . so what is it you want ? cash ? tess : no , no , i have my finances covered , thank you . todd : how did you manage that ? tess : i 'm not an idiot , todd . i 've picked up so many pointers from you . i mean , look at how well your plan 's turned out with marty . just snatch your daughter 's baby out from under her nose and take off for parts unknown with the forgetful woman you raped . romantic , really . todd : i have no idea what you 're talking about . tess : do n't worry ; i 'm not going to tell anyone . i will be long gone . i 'm going to be blowing this cruddy little town before you . i just need you to get my beautiful daughter and myself passports so we can cross the border and be out of uncle bo 's jurisdiction . todd : why ? is bo going to find natalie dead somewhere ? [ scene_break ] rex : okay , there 's more going on with natalie 's disappearance than you 're letting on . gigi : will you let bo do his job ? bo : you fell in love with a wise woman , balsom . rex : i know . pushy , too . bo : you know , we were all real worried about you . i had to make all kinds of deals with the gentleman upstairs so you would come through . rex : and now you have to keep them . bo : mm - hmm . rex : do n't tell me you 're giving up cheeseburgers ? bo : never . but i did promise that i 'd try to be a better dad and a better friend . rex : i 'm not sure that 's a promise you can keep . because you 're already the best on both accounts . bo : just do n't try to pull another stunt like this , okay ? rex : do n't worry . bo : okay , you enjoy your party . just do n't party too hard . i have some business i 've got to take care of . roxy : thanks for everything . bo : aw . gigi : bye . rex : what time does school let out ? gigi : not for a while . rex : all right , well , do you usually pick shane up or is somebody going to bring him here ? gigi : baby , stop worrying so much . rex : i 'm not worried . i want to see my -- our son . roxy : hey , while we 're waiting -- oh . [ roxy chuckles ] rex : what 's going on ? roxy : okay , take a whack at the piñata . rex : okay , are you keeping something else from me ? i said i want to see shane . [ scene_break ] charlie : wait a minute , that accident , the fact that you were in natalie 's car -- that could have all just been a coincidence . viki : you should be sorry you ever got mixed up in this family . charlie : not for a minute . viki : you know , if tess is in control now , it means that my little jessie is all locked up inside her and she ca n't get out . and what about the babies ? what about the baby she 's carrying , and bree ? tess is really just a manifestation of all the rage jessie could n't express when she was a child . i shudder to think what 's going to happen to those babies if they 're with that woman instead of their mother . [ scene_break ] natalie : you ca n't have this one of rex , in case he did n't make it . jared : rex made it , okay ? and i need a few more , just to be safe . natalie : yeah , well you ca n't have this one of mom , or roxy , okay ? i mean , what if your plan does n't work and we never get out of here ? we 've got to have something to remember the people we love . [ scene_break ] rex : i 'm sorry , mom , i did n't mean to snap . roxy : hey , you do n't have to say that you 're sorry , and of course you want to see your kid . rex : it 's just -- the very last time i laid eyes on him , he had a gun pointed in his direction , and i just kept thinking , you know , i ca n't lose him . i ca n't let anything happen to our son , because if i lost him -- roxy : i know , baby , believe me , i know . gigi : but we did n't lose him , rex , and you did n't let anything happen to him . rex : i just -- i want to see him . roxy : well , of course you will , but you know , he 's only 10 years old . you know , you 're acting a little intense . gigi : babe , we both just need to give him a little room right now to understand and accept . rex : yeah , you 're right . roxy : you know , maybe this piñata was a dumb idea . except i had it made special for you . rex : it was n't a dumb idea . give me the putter . roxy : okay , you sure ? 'cause i know you 're going to like it . rex : well , who does n't like candy ? gigi : all right . here we go . okay , you 're right under it . roxy : and i hung it low for you . [ gigi and roxanne laugh ] [ scene_break ] dorian : adriana , you need your family now more than ever . stay here , and be a cramer woman . adriana : i will always be a cramer woman . why do you think i 'm so screwed up ? dorian : we 're not all screwed up . adriana : i 'm not saying it 's a terrible thing . does n't mean i ca n't change , though . dorian : oh , how many times have i said that to myself over the years ? hundreds of times . mel tried to change me . hmm -- he 's still trying . and today he succeeded . [ scene_break ] clint : i still find it hard to believe that you got dorian to give back b.e . nora : she 'd spent the night in prison , and she was tired . and i think maybe she was even very sorry for what she had done . she was needing a way to save face , and i gave it to her . clint : you did that for me -- why ? nora : you never should have lost b.e . in the first place , and in the end , you tried to do the right thing . you tried to keep langston from getting on that plane to colombia . you gave up your leverage for that young girl 's well - being , and that made me remember the man i fell in love with . clint : i would like to say that i 'll never put you in that position again . nora : oh , okay , let 's be smart and not make promises we ca n't keep . clint : what i can say is thank you . nora : you 're welcome . clint : i do n't think anybody 's ever done anything like this for me . when the rest of the family finds out about this , i ca n't imagine their reaction , but i do know what asa would say . nora : oh , my god -- what would he say ? clint : `` clint , do n't you ever let this filly get away . `` [ scene_break ] rex : alan trammel . he was my favorite player from the tigers when i was a kid . gigi : what 's this ? roxy : [ laughs ] ooh ! rex : well , i had one just like that when i was 10 . i put one in aunt corinne 's bed . you should have heard her scream . roxy : ah . rex : where did you get all this ? roxy : well , i called up your aunt corinne , and i said send me the stuff from when you were 10 years old , shane 's age , so maybe you could remember what it was like to be his age . you know , so you could know what he needs , and you could understand him a little better . because i know you 're a little freaked out about being his dad , but i figured that this is a good place to start with him . [ scene_break ] bo : hi , charlie . charlie : oh , hey . bo : viki , i 'm sorry that i had to run out on you last night . viki : oh , do n't worry about it . i know you have a job . bo : did anybody hear from natalie or jared ? viki : no , not a word , and i have also not heard or seen jessie since we talked about the possibility that she 's tess . you know , actually , charlie and i were just talking about the accident that i had when i was with dorian . bo : mm - hmm , when the brakes went out on natalie 's car . i wanted to talk to you about that . do you think that tess could have been responsible ? viki : yeah , i do . and you 're sure of it , are n't you ? bo : yeah , and like i told you before , i 'm not the only one . [ scene_break ] tess : are you going to get me those fake passports or not ? todd : is natalie dead ? tess : why do you care ? you do n't even like her . todd : viki loves her . tess : oh , and you love viki . la - la - la - la - la . listen , you want starr 's baby , you want marty , i want fake passports . and if i do n't get what i want , then you do n't get what you want . todd : can you even fly like that ? tess : well , i 'm not going to take the frigging bus , now , am i ? and i have to get out of here before this baby is born . todd : better get the show on the road . tess : mm- hmm , well , i 'm almost ready . i just have a few more people i have to see one last time . [ scene_break ] adriana : you understand why i ca n't stay , do n't you ? dorian : that does n't mean i do n't hate the idea of losing you . adriana : you 're not losing me . i 'm going to be living in your favorite city . you 'll visit , and we 'll walk along the seine . dorian : oh -- adriana : eat in the cafes , and talk and talk and talk . dorian : i 'm sorry that you lost rex . adriana : i think you think you mean that . dorian : i do ! darling , i hate to see you in pain . adriana : i 'll survive . i 'm a cramer , after all . dorian : and i have never been more proud of you . now , i know it does n't mean anything now , but i did not write rex that note saying that you were lying to him . adriana : it does n't matter who wrote it . rex deserved to know the truth . [ scene_break ] roxy : i stocked your kitchen full of cupcakes and cookies and chips and things like that , so any good , solid 10-year - old will get sick eating all that stuff . gigi : you thought of everything , roxy . roxy : yeah . well , i even thought of the fact that the two of you might want to be alone right now . rex : what happened while i was in that coma ? did you have some kind of religious experience ? roxy : not exactly , but you know , i said a couple of things to the man upstairs , so -- listen , you stay well . not even a runny nose , you got that ? gigi : bye , roxy . roxy : bye - bye .

dorian returns home after nora 's convinced her to give up her fight with clint . she talks to adriana and they both realize how much they are alike and how adriana 's lies and schemes to keep rex are not unlike dorian 's feud with clint . rex is happily with gigi . but he 's very worried that nobody has seen or heard from natalie . tess tells todd she will help him and marty get out of town if he can help her and bree to get fake passports . todd is , however , concerned about how tess might be unfit to care for a child . viki shares with charlie that she is very concerned that tess is responsible for the disappearance of natalie and charlie and she 's very concerned about children in the `` care `` of tess .

[ scene_break ] kyle : i ca n't believe we 're actually doing this . nick : believe it . in a few short hours , i get to see you in this thing and hear you say those amazing words to me . kyle : yeah . amelia : i wish i was part of a real couple like you guys are . nick : well , you and dorian may not be a real couple , but you are the ones the whole country 's gon na tune in to see . i mean , it 's because of you that the whole world 's gon na get the chance to see what we really believe in . amelia : yeah , yeah . you 're right . and this is just the beginning .

[ scene_break ] jessica : john bugged all of our phones assuming that -- that jared would try to reach my sister . brody : and ? jessica : he got nash 's call on tape . brody : but it could n't have been nash . you know that , right ? jessica : no , i know . i know that nash is dead . but john -- he took the call from nash , and he compared it to a phone message that nash left before he died . brody : it 's okay . just slow down . jessica : it was a match , brody . nash 's voice , his actual voice , was in that phone call ! nadine : brody ? jessica : is that your sister ? you should go . it 's okay . you should go . brody : i should never have left . i 'm coming back . jessica : no . um -- [ knock on door ] jessica : um , brody , john 's here . i got to go . brody : jess , did you hear me ? i said i 'm coming back . jessica : brody , no . come in . your sister needs you , okay ? i 'm fine . i 'll let you know if john has any news . [ scene_break ] nadine : hey . brody : hey . nadine : well , here 's all the information on the foreclosure of mom 's house . thanks for coming all this way to bail me out of this mess . brody : i 'm sorry . nadine : for what ? brody : i should n't have come here . i ca n't stay . nadine : you have to stay . [ scene_break ] john : we 're getting the recording enhanced . hopefully , we 'll pick something up in the background that tell us where the call came from . have you heard from natalie ? jessica : um , i just got a voice mail from her -- there you go -- john : thank you . jessica : telling me not to worry . should i worry ? john : oh , i think she 's probably somewhere with rex chasing a lead on jared . jessica : i do n't get any of this . i do n't understand . i -- jared hooking up with someone in prison , and someone pretending to be my dead husband . pamela stuart 's murder . then jared 's disappearing , and now this phone call ? john : all these events are connected to something or someone . [ scene_break ] gigi : john mcbain was here looking for you . rex : um , what did you tell him ? gigi : i could n't tell him what i do n't know . i do n't suppose you can tell me what 's going on now ? rex : just trust me , okay , for a little while longer ? i will explain everything as soon as i can . i 'm really sorry about tonight . i 'll call you soon , okay ? gigi : whatever . rex : i love you , morasco , more than anything . [ line disconnects ] gigi : back at you .

[ scene_break ] natalie : i am so sorry . i should 've never asked you to help me with all of this . rex : john 's already been there to see gigi . they 're breaking a whole bunch of laws keeping the cops in the dark . natalie : yeah , i -- i know . john called me last night , too . and , rex , i know that i should 've told you sooner . rex : yeah , but if john is there asking questions , that means he has no idea where we are . and neither does gigi , which is good . natalie : all right . then let 's find my guy before john does . [ scene_break ] brody : my girlfriend 's going through some stuff and i need to be with her . nadine : but i need you , too . brody : i wish you had explained to me on the phone that this was just a money problem . nadine : `` just `` ? brody : yeah ! you made it sound like it was life and death ! nadine : it is ! if i lose this house , i 'll have nothing ! brody : well -- well , what do you want me to do , nadine ? it 's not like i 'm sitting pretty on a stash somewhere . nadine : i 've got one last chance to appeal to the bank before they foreclose and take possession of the house . you have to go to the hearing with me . testify for me . brody : what does a bank care what i think ? nadine : you 're an ex - navy seal , a war vet . the judge will listen to you . brody : i do n't think it works like that . nadine : this was mom 's house , the house we grew up in . brody : yeah . so why 'd you refinance it ? nadine : i owed a lot of money . and the guy that came to the door said it 'd be easy . brody : when 's the hearing ? nadine : a week from today . promise you 'll stay until then ? [ scene_break ] john : it does n't make sense that jared would be behind the call you got from nash . not while he 's on the run and wanted for questioning in a murder . jessica : okay . so who do you think did it ? john : it 'd have to be someone that knew your husband so well that he 'd be able to put something like this in motion , someone that knew so much about your relationship he would know exactly how to get to you . so excluding jared , if we just eliminate him , can you think of anybody else who would want you to think that nash was trying to reach out to you now ? jessica : no . no . i mean , it 's sick . no . john : but nash must -- he must 've mentioned somebody ? some friend or relative ? an enemy ? someone ? jessica : no -- there is someone . [ scene_break ] dorian : my feelings about equal rights for gays is real . yes , i believe it is the fundamental right of every human being to marry the person that they choose . and i wanted to drive that point home during this final debate . viki : well , obviously it 's important to you . i mean , that 's why you staged this stunt wedding to take place immediately before the debate . dorian : a debate you plan to ditch ? viki : yeah . i 've given you my reasons , dorian . as you are so fond of saying , `` c'est la vie . `` huh ? dorian : hmm . no , it 's not `` c'est la vie . `` c'est la guerre . david : dramatic much ? dorian : david , put on some clothes . david : clothes make me look fat . [ dorian sighs ] [ door opens and closes ] dorian : you know , viki , if you cancel out of the debate tonight , i will just have to let everybody know that you were overwhelmed by your family problems . and we will let the media and the voters decide for themselves . viki : i 'll just take that chance . besides , i 've already sent out the announcement , so you can save yours . my family comes first . woman : pardon me . i have another selection of shoes for you to look at whenever you get a chance . dorian : thank you so much . will you excuse me , viki ? viki : not knowing whether you are the bride or the groom , you 'll forgive me if i save the best wishes or congratulations .

[ scene_break ] brody : there 's no way i can stay here for a week . nadine : you have to ! i can not go through this by myself ! the sheriff 's here practically every day with a countdown to my eviction . it took everything i had to pick up the phone and call you for help ! brody : and i 'm glad you told me what 's going on . but i -- nadine : i 'm sorry for not helping you when you were in trouble , okay ? i was just scared . i did n't know you when you came back from the war . and then the cops called and told me you shot that guy ? i mean , i just -- i was a coward , okay ? i did n't come when you needed me , and now i 'm asking you for help . and it 's not fair , i know . i just ca n't do this . brody : i 'll help you however i can . nadine : whew . brody : okay ? how 's this for a plan ? we 'll take care of as much as we can here today , i 'll go back to llanview tomorrow , and i 'll come back in time for the hearing ? nadine : one day at a time , right ? brody : one day at a time . but to be honest , every day i 'm away from jessica feels like a lifetime .

[ jessica sighs ] john : i 'm gon na go . i 'll come back when i know more . jessica : john , i 'm okay . really , i can handle this . and i know it sounds strange , but nash never really talked about his past . so i -- i have no idea who would want to pass himself off as nash . but if i -- if i do , then -- [ phone rings ] john : i understand . excuse me . okay ? yeah , it 's me . okay . when did balsom last use it ?

[ scene_break ] clerk : your friend came in looking for a room yesterday . there was a cop car that pulled up outside . he looked a little nervous . i noticed that : i 'm a little observant . i should 've been a p.i . natalie : okay , so the -- he saw the cop . what happened next ? clerk : well , to be honest , i could tell that he was on the run . the cops went to the coffee shop next door , and your friend changed his mind , said he did n't want to stay here after all . natalie : did he say where he was going ? clerk : nope . but he asked if he could use a computer , and i let him use my laptop . rex : uh , why would you be so helpful to somebody you thought was on the run from the cops ? clerk : well , i believe in being kind to strangers . and he did n't seem like a dangerous sort . so ... rex : so jared used the computer , huh ? clerk : then he left . where he went i do not know . natalie : say , uh , could we maybe see that computer ? [ scene_break ] john : rex used his credit card at a gas station . jessica : where ? john : i ca n't say . jessica : oh , but you 're going after them ? john : yeah , well , if natalie and rex are on jared 's trail , i probably want to find out what they 're up to . jessica : okay . well , do n't let anything bad happen to my sister . john : i wo n't . jessica : thanks . john : whoever made that call , it was n't nash . jessica : i know . thank you . [ scene_break ] brody : so you had no idea your payments were gon na triple after 12 months ? nadine : i guess i was n't listening when they explained that . [ phone rings ] brody : hey . how 'd it go ? did john figure out how your caller imitated nash 's voice ? jessica : not yet . they 're -- well , they told me that they 're having the recording analyzed . brody : is john still there ? i want to talk to him . jessica : he went after rex . apparently natalie and rex got a lead on jared and blew town without telling anyone . brody : i do n't like this . jessica : i 'm okay . brody : your sister 's gone ? your mom 's busy with the election ? charlie 's worried with jared ? and now john 's gone , too ? who 's gon na watch out for you ? jessica : i 'm okay . the call spooked me a bit , but i 'm okay . brody : that 's it . i 'm coming home first thing in the morning . [ scene_break ] dorian : what does it matter what viki does now ? she 's practically handed me the election by backing out on this debate . david : i would n't pop the champagne just yet . dorian : why not ? look at what viki 's doing . this city is facing -- this country is facing crucial problems , and she 's saying , `` oh , no . my family needs me now . `` please . the voters are supposed to put confidence in her ? david : that 's an excellent point . she 's cooked . you can cancel your wedding now . dorian : `` cancel `` ? david : well , if you 're guaranteed to win the election , why not ? that way you can support all the real gay and lesbian couples who want to make a commitment to each other , and you do n't have to wake up tomorrow morning as mrs. amelia bennett . dorian : i am not a quitter . viki is . i can not disappoint my public . david : what about your privates ? i mean , the people who matter to you the most ?

[ scene_break ] nora : leave your cell phone on . bo : listen , tell natalie i 'll call as soon as there 's news , all right ? nora : you be careful . bo : eh . nora : can i get you anything ? marty : i 'm fine . brody notified the public defender 's office . nora : yeah , because that 's the only phone call he can legally make for you . jason dailey . he 's the best defense attorney in town , okay . have your pd call him . marty : okay . nora : listen , there are -- there are a lot of people that believe that elijah clarke deserves what he got , and what he did to you , that certainly gives you some mitigation . i do n't need a big show of a trial , and i certainly do n't need to put you away for life to show that i 'm tough on crime , so i 'll try to make this as easy as i can . marty : thank you . [ scene_break ] natalie : marty . i had the gun tested . marty : it 's the murder weapon . natalie : okay . but if you shot eli , why is cole 's fingerprint on the trigger ? [ scene_break ] [ knock on door ] langston : hey . cole : hey . langston : you look awful . cole : well , i was worse about an hour ago , but now that i know that starr and hope are still alive somewhere ... langston : that 's why i 'm here . cole : what ? they found them ? do you know where they are ? langston : i do n't know how to say this , but i think hannah has starr and hope . [ scene_break ] starr : you 're not just crazy ! you 're a sadistic bitch , hannah , because james is suffocating in there ! hannah : shut up . it 's your turn now . ha ha . [ scene_break ] john : easy . easy . watch yourself . [ blair struggling ] john : ... all right . give me your hand . hey , you okay ? let 's see ? todd : easy . blair : uh , it 's a miracle , right ? todd : yeah . téa : you want another one ?
hannah takes starr , james and baby hope hostage at gunpoint . she leads them to a gravesite wearing a western hat , has starr and james dressed like the grim reaper , has baby hope dressed like a pumpkin and pulls her in a wagon . she tells them she 's going to have them dig their own grave . she laughs and tells them that on halloween , while they are dressed in costumes , nobody will suspect anything . and when they are dead nobody will look for them . she tells starr and james that after they are dead , baby hope will have a new mommy . starr tells her that will never happen and is very worried and frightened when hannah knocks james out and demands that starr buries him in the dirt if she wants to save her baby . meanwhile , langston takes robert to the hospital and finds out from his doctor that he 's lying about his injury being caused by overexerting himself at the gym . he tells her that robert has been assaulted . at that point , she calls the cops an stays with robert , distracted from finding starr and hope and unaware that hannah has not only them but james as well . of all the people to answer her call to report the assault to the cops , inez answers . as soon as she finds out her son has been assaulted , she rushes to the hospital . clint acts concerned and gives her no reason to suspect him of anything and accompanies her . robert is not about to tell anybody what happened to him or that clint is responsible for it . but he coldly observes clint hugging his mom outside his hospital room when she expresses her worries about both of her sons being hurt . meanwhile , after the explosion , cole has shot and killed eli . and knowing he will be charged with murder and locked up for light , marty takes the rap for it and turns herself in to the cops . bo and nora know there is something up with her . inside the wreckage of the building , todd and john are together trying to find their way out . for the first time , john confesses to todd that tea might very well be alive , based on what greg told him . blair and tea are together in another part of the room . right then , the 4 of them come together and todd is stunned when he sees tea for the first time .
shane : you think it 's in there ? rex : well , you know your mom . shane : totally organized . rex : and the label says `` halloween . `` so , unless she 's pulling a trick on us , it 's in there . shane : but it would be just like mom to trick us , especially on halloween . rex : come on .

[ scene_break ] [ door closes ] aubrey : oh , that is so creepy . you put that out every year ? shane : yeah . mom loved it . remember ? rex : yeah , of course . aubrey : well , then , let 's find the perfect spot for it . shane : how about by the fireplace ? that 's where it was at the old house . aubrey : new house , new traditions . rex : you 're right . new traditions . sorry , it 's just -- sometimes it hits me like a wave . aubrey : well , we 're -- we 're pulling you out of the surf . right , shane ? shane : come on , dad . focus . we have a party to throw . rex : you 're right . gigi 's gone . i 'm never gon na see her or hear her voice again . gigi : happy halloween to my favorite guy !

[ scene_break ] tina : so , how do i look ? viki : tina . tina : what ? viki : where did you get that dress ? tina : well , i found it in the attic , and i thought it would just be a perfect costume to wear to natalie and brody 's party . and then cord could wear clint 's morning suit . clint : you 've got to be kidding . tina : why ? i think it would look great on him . cord : i do n't think he 's worried about the suit there , tina . tina : well , so , what 's the problem ? clint : you 're wearing a wedding dress . tina : so ? viki : tina , uh , i think what clint is trying to say is that it might be slightly inappropriate for the maid of honor to be wearing a wedding dress to the bride 's engagement party . tina : i get it . you and clint want to be the bride and groom . [ scene_break ] brody : so , what were you and roxy talking about ? i know i interrupted something . roxanne : admit it . if johnny had said that he loved you -- natalie : but he did n't . roxanne : well , that shows what you know . natalie : i heard him . roxanne : oh , you heard nothing . you were there for about five minutes . i spent nearly an hour with the guy . natalie : okay , well , i heard enough . he said that he was done . and , uh , are we gon na do this manicure or what ? roxanne : well , why do n't you sit your cute butt down and i will buff your nails and i will rock your world ? natalie : [ clears throat ] yeah , you know how dramatic roxy is . she was concerned about my hair . [ chuckles ] michael : this sounds important . roxanne : oh , it is . it 's about natalie . she was there , man . john : she was where ? roxanne : at rodi 's . you know , the night that you said that you did n't love her anymore , the night that you were lying . except she did n't hear the big finish , so she took her hurt feelings , she went straight to brody , she said yes to his proposal . that 's all because of you , man . [ scene_break ] brody : wait a minute . your hair ? natalie : yeah . highlights . like i have time to sit in her chair for three hours while i 'm trying to go to work and take care of liam . oh ! you should see liam 's costume . he is so cute . brody : what is it ? natalie : i 'll give you a hint . like father , like son . [ scene_break ] michael : why would you ever say that you did n't love natalie ? that 's a lie . roxanne : well , it took about an hour and a couple of beers , but he finally admitted it . he finally admitted that he loves her . michael : he did ? good for you . roxanne : yeah , but by then , she was already gone . so , she did n't hear when he said that he loves her . and if she had , she never would have said yes to brody . [ scene_break ] shane : i found it in the box . gigi : happy halloween to my favorite guy ! i love you , shane ! shane : she gave it to me last year . aubrey : well , she knew you 'd want to keep it , so she put it in the box . shane : hearing her voice , it 's like she 's here . but she is n't . aubrey : hey . you know , you were so lucky to have such a great mom . and no matter what happens , you will always know how much she loved you . so , why do n't you put this someplace safe so you can listen to it whenever you want ? [ scene_break ] stacy : why ca n't rex know it 's me ? cutter : if rex really thinks that gigi has come back , he could -- he could beg clint for the money , and he 'd have to give it to him . okay . so now i just got to figure out a way to jog the girl 's memory . seeing rex might do the trick . but then i have to figure out a way so that rex does n't see her , 'cause if rex sees her , it 's all over . stacy : cutter ? i asked you a question . and i do n't think the porcupine has the answer . cutter : sorry , i was -- i was just thinking about this story that was all over the news . it was about todd manning . so , apparently , he came to town , but he could n't let anyone know that he was here , so he disguised himself as some superhero and snuck into a party to see his family . worked like a charm . stacy : why ca n't i let people know i 'm here ? cutter : 'cause it 'll ruin everything . stacy : what do you mean ? for who ? [ scene_break ] tina : so , do you think it 'll still fit ? clint : i 'm not wearing that suit . tina : why not ? clint : i 'm not going to the party . tina : clint buchanan , this is your daughter 's engagement party . clint : i am under house arrest . tina : [ gasps ] oh , that 's right . i forgot . y - you -- well , ca n't they make an exception ? clint : uh , no , they wo n't do that , so i 'm gon na stay home and babysit my grandson , which is fine because i never get to see him anymore now that natalie 's moved in with brody . tina : oh , you know what ? since you 're stuck here , would you mind giving david vickers a little tlc ? you know , she loves a little dog treat , a little scratch behind the ears . viki : tina , tina , let 's go find you something else to wear , okay ? tina : okay , but -- but , you know , viki , we got to find something for cord , too . cord : tina , i will take care of your dog , all right ? tina : oh , you will ? thank you . 'cause she 's just crazy about you . viki : tina . tina : yeah ? oh . clint : it 's happening , is n't it ? and there 's not a damn thing i can do about it . cord : what ? clint : before natalie and brody even walk down the aisle , she 's gon na have you hog - tied at the altar . cord : [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] natalie : oh , you 're so cute . brody : [ laughs ] natalie : is n't he the cutest ? brody : oh , well , like father , like son ? natalie : he 's a baby seal .

[ camera shutter clicks ] natalie : [ laughs ] that 's great . you know what ? you can totally tell he has your genes . brody : how so ? natalie : because even though he 's in this silly costume , he still looks noble . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] john : i tried to tell her but she had already accepted lovett 's proposal . it was too late . roxanne : [ chuckling ] oh , man , there 's no such thing as being too late , you know , not when you really love someone . she never would have said yes to him , but she thought that the two of you were done . john : i am done . roxanne : why ? because of the kid ? because liam 's not your bio - genetic kid ? i mean , rex and nattie , i mean , they 're not actually , technically my kids , but i could n't love them any more . and i just love -- love , it 's just so unconditional . so , you got to get over yourself , because nattie is your soul mate , and you know it , and i know it . michael : i know it . roxanne : and , actually , everybody knows it . michael : so why do n't you tell natalie ? john : hey , look , do n't encourage her ? roxanne : well , maybe i will . mm - hmm . mm - hmm . mm - hmm . [ knock on door ] michael : [ laughs ] roxanne : [ laughs ] shaun : britney , here you are , darling . the king of pop has been looking all over for his date . sorry , dudes . this girl is mine . michael : [ stifled laugh ] roxanne : it 's my plus one . you know , do n't get any ideas here . shaun : vivian got stuck at the , uh , hospital , and i wanted to congratulate natalie and brody . john : what do you mean ? roxanne : hello . tonight 's their engagement party . [ scene_break ] viki : happy halloween , kids . tina : well -- well , they liked my costume . viki : they were 9 years old . tina : you know , viki [ sighs ] i still do not see why i ca n't wear it . viki : tina . tina . i know you have your heart set on rekindling things with cord , but you can not push this hard . tina : but this has nothing to do with cord . viki : oh , please . tina : okay , and even if it did , what is wrong with going after what you want ? viki : there are so many ways to do it , and they do not include going full speed ahead , especially with cord . he 's still so gun shy around you . you have to let things happen in their normal time . tina : what , so i 'm supposed to do it in your way ? just -- just -- just abandon clint to go to a party ? viki : it 's our daughter 's engagement party . one of us should be there . tina : viki , how do you think you are ever gon na get close to clint if you just keep walking away from him ? viki : whoever said anything about me being close to clint ? and when did this become about me ? no . no . besides , as far as i know , clint is still very hung up on his most recent ex - wife , kimberly andrews . [ scene_break ] cutter : this is stacy morasco before . that is stacy morasco after . stacy , you stole your sister 's face . your plan was to replace gigi in rex 's life . gigi just died a few months ago . rex was crazy about her . you really want to show up with that face at rex 's house ?

[ scene_break ] stacy : oh , my god . if shane saw my face , or rex ... cutter : but -- but they wo n't 'cause you 'll be wearing a mask . stacy : no . no mask . cutter : but then they actually would really recognize you . stacy : i 'm not going ! i - i hate that i was so obsessed with rex that i was willing to carve into my own face ! i mean , it 's just sick ! it 's sick and cruel to do that to my own sister ! no ! no ! the best thing for me to do is just to leave them alone ! cutter : stacy . stacy , wait , you 're not -- stacy : no ! forget it ! i 'm not going ! cutter : you 're [ groans ] okay . what now , genius ?

jessica visits viki , who fills her in on what happened with natalie . tico is not happy to see jessica there and they argue because she wants to stay and help natalie and he wants her to be at the governor 's halloween party to support kevin . he ends up apologizing but still expects her to come and he is n't happy when she does n't show up . tico says hello to carlota but is n't happy to see jamie . viki and carlotta discuss natalie , antonio , and cristian 's death . viki goes to visit antonio and tells him that he needs to be in jamie 's life because you never know what will happen , reminding him of ben 's death . later , jessica ends up on antonio 's doorstep . sonia goes to the governor 's party at rodi 's , where kevin and the governor are schmoozing with people . no one is happy that duke is n't back yet .

[ scene_break ] todd : i 'm telling you , viki , i have not seen jessica . viki : uh - huh . okay , let 's back up here . apparently , john mcbain was here and he did see her here with you . todd : yeah , that was weeks ago . you were talking about a couple of days . viki : yeah , and he also felt that she was trying to help you deflect some sort of search warrant . [ todd chuckles ] todd : he feels that i 'm responsible for the climate change and the high price of crude oil , i 'm sure . viki : so he has no reason to be suspicious of you ? todd : no , no , he just has it in for me . he always has . viki : uh - huh , so why the search warrant ? what was he looking for ? [ scene_break ] tess : how is your ankle , sis ? natalie : better . tess : excellent , that 's great because i want you two to be completely comfortable while you enjoy this meal . oh , by the way , jared , that 's beluga , not osetra , okay ? i spent a little bit of extra cash because i know how much you guys enjoy it . jared : why are you doing this , tess ? why are you serving us up this meal ? tess : would you rather i had brought you burgers and fries ? peanut butter sandwiches ? no , no , that would n't do , not for your last supper . [ scene_break ] todd : the search warrant was just mcbain 's way of jerking me around . he made such a scene that jessica got all upset and she thought she was having contractions . viki : yeah , but she was fine just a little while later . see , he thinks she was deliberately trying to cause a distraction . todd : now , why would she do that ? viki : you tell me . [ todd chuckles ] todd : look , i mean , i know she has a nice soft spot for me and i for her , of course , but i do n't think she 'd try to fool the cops for me for any reason . viki : no , i agree with you . jessica would not do that , but tess would in a heartbeat . [ scene_break ] fish : well , what else do you have to go on ? john : i 've already told you too much . it 's not even an official case . fish : yeah , it was n't official when i ran the enhancement program either , but that was the most interesting work i 've done since i was transferred to cherryvale . john : fish , i 'm not bringing you in on this , okay ? fish : i 've got skills that you can use , john . computers can take you places that humans ca n't . john : you 're just not going away , are you ? all right , a couple of rules , here . i 'm not giving up the woman 's i.d . clear on that ? do n't ask any questions i ca n't answer , all right ? do n't do that again . fish : it was the last time . john : all right , i have something to show you . several people have been in contact with the woman up at manning 's house . aside from janet ketring , and so far she 's not talking , none of them has been available for comment , all right ? obviously , ramsey 's dead , but there 's this guy , keyshawn riddick . he was manning 's bodyguard , all right ? i believed he helped transport the woman from lee ramsey 's to manning 's in the first place . he went awol right after i searched manning 's place . fish : coincidence ? john : no , no , i think , uh , manning did n't want him talking . he shipped him off somewhere . fish : you think he 's dead ? john : it 's possible . fish : and this woman , you think manning has her , what , chained to a radiator or something ? john : i would n't put anything past him , but i think it 's more complicated than that . fish : but you 're assuming this woman 's there against her will . john : i do n't think this woman would stay with todd manning . the woman i know would n't let her son think she was dead . fish : okay , not that i 'm asking questions here or anything , but people think she 's dead and you know this woman ? john : i had a relationship with her . [ scene_break ] marty : moving away with todd is not just about getting away from john mcbain , it 's about starting a new life . janet : oh , marty , i understand that more than you know . marty : you know , you never talk about yourself . janet : oh . marty : were you always a nurse ? janet : no . marty : oh . a family , any children ? janet : well , i have a daughter . marty : really ? does she live near here ? janet : well , i do n't see her for reasons that i ca n't go into right now . i had to leave that part of my life behind and go on without my daughter . marty : it must have been a pretty tough situation for you to leave your child behind . i ca n't imagine . janet : oh , a lot of people would n't understand what i did , but i feel my daughter was better off this way . i , uh , i could n't be the mother she deserved . marty : well , sometimes you have to think about the greater good . janet : hmm , sometimes it 's hard to know what that is . [ scene_break ] cole : i lost the person that i talked to , that i laughed with , the person who took care of me , the person who was my mom . and now she 's just gone , and i -- nora : i know . i miss her , too . cole : yeah , well , uh , you two were , like , uh , friends forever , right ? [ nora chuckles ] nora : well , we were n't friends forever in the very beginning , that 's for sure . we were on opposite sides of probably the biggest battle of her life . cole : ah , that 's right . you were the , uh , the hotshot lawyer they hired to defend todd after he raped her . nora : yeah . cole : yeah , my mom told me that when you realized that he was guilty , you threw the case . nora : yeah , it almost got me disbarred in the process , but -- no , your mom and i then went on to become very good friends . i was so happy when she fell in love , learned a profession . then she wrote me about you and i was just over the moon . [ nora chuckles ] nora : and so was she . cole : yeah , i can picture that . nora : i learned a valuable lesson . you can be on opposite sides of a fence , but do n't be afraid to have the courage to knock it down . cole : you know , i think that 's what 's happening with me and starr . [ scene_break ] starr : i try not to think about that moment the baby will be taken away from me . langston : starr , i 'm sorry . i should have , you know , read that to myself before i just blurted it out . starr : no , it 's okay . langston , it 's not -- it is going to happen . i made it happen . it just -- it did n't seem so real before . langston : you 're so brave , starr . starr : i do n't feel brave right now , but i 'm -- i 'm going to get through it because at the end , the baby will be placed in marcie 's hands and i know that -- that 's a good thing . it is . oh , jeez , langston , we 've had our share of messes this year , have n't we ? langston : that , we have . but we 've had good times , too , you know , i think . starr : and you 'll be here no matter what else happens , right ? langston : of course . [ scene_break ] todd : you think jessica is tess ? viki : yeah , i do . todd : but , uh , was n't jessica integrated ? viki : well , we thought she was , yeah . but i think the shock of nash 's death may very well have been enough to bring tess back . todd : oh , my god . viki : and , yes , while i agree with you , uh , jessica would not have tried to help you get out of what trouble you may or may not be in with the police , i think that tess would , okay ? todd : right . viki : and knowing tess , i do n't think she would do it out of the goodness of her heart . todd : well , what are you trying to suggest , viki ? are you suggesting that -- that i knew she was tess and have known since mcbain was here ? viki : have you ? [ scene_break ] natalie : our last supper ? what is this , another death threat ? tess : no , no , just a heads up , which is more than nash got before he died . natalie : you know what ? i 've had enough ! tess : no , no , i do n't think you 've had nearly enough , sweetheart . natalie : you are a hateful bitch ! jared : natalie , do n't . there 's no use talking to her . natalie : no , if i 'm going down , i am not going down quietly ! tess : no , no , i do n't suppose you are . [ scene_break ] viki : look , i do n't know why you would cover for tess . but look , if you are covering for her , if you know anything at all , you have to tell me . this is incredibly serious . todd : oh , yeah , i get that . viki : yeah , natalie and jared are both missing . jessica blamed them for nash 's death . i 'm sure that tess does , too . knowing that , i mean , there 's no telling what she would do to them or what she may have already done to them . todd : do you think i would cover for tess for no reason ? viki : no , no , i do n't . and that 's why i 'm racking my brain trying to think of the reason . todd : i 'm not playing games , here . tess : well , you 're going to have to , otherwise , i 'll blow the whistle on your little living arrangement with marty . todd : listen , uh , viki , i need to -- viki : what is this doing here ? i gave this to bree . todd : yeah , that 's bree 's . bree was with jessica when mcbain showed up . viki : oh , oh , but that was weeks ago , right ? yeah . todd : yeah . viki : i gave this to bree two days ago when i got back from africa , so jessica was here . [ scene_break ] janet : marty , maybe you 're luckier than i am . you do n't have any baggage to carry around . you do n't have any ghosts following you . marty : i 'm lucky to be alive , that 's for sure . janet : oh , yeah . marty : and to be getting a second chance , i know that . and so is todd . i mean , i do n't really know his whole story , but there 's something so sad in his eyes , and i think it 's more than just what the divorce caused . janet : so maybe you 'll get him to tell you about it sometime . marty : maybe . i do n't know , sometimes i feel that fate put me in his hands . [ scene_break ] fish : so you and this woman you think is at manning 's had a thing ? john : go ahead and say it . fish : say what ? john : that i 'm inventing this because i want her to be alive , that i 'm chasing after something for all the wrong reasons based on entirely circumstantial evidence . fish : is that what you think ? john : no . i know i 'm right . it 's irrational , but i feel it in my gut . fish : hey , pi is irrational , too , but it 's also the basis of every single mathematical formula . so where do we start ? john : we ? where do you get this `` we `` stuff ? fish : uh , yeah . john : no , fish , i 'm already on the mayor 's hit list . you do this , and you will be , too . i mean , he gets done with you , you wo n't even have that dumb job in cherryvale . fish : okay . john : all right . this has to stay between us , all right ? this gets out and we 're wrong , we could be hurting a whole lot of people . fish : got it . what do you need me to do ? [ scene_break ] viki : i asked you a question . todd : jessica spent the night with bree . viki : when ? todd : she left today . viki : why did n't you tell me that ? todd : well , i was about to tell you . viki : oh , give me a break , todd . todd : she told me she did n't want anyone to know that she was here . viki : why ? todd : uh , she said that she was -- had to get out of llanfair . it was driving her crazy , and she needed some time to think . viki : was she jessica or was she acting like tess ? todd : she seemed fine to me , both of them did . viki : and where is she now ? todd : i do n't know . viki : okay , okay . do me a favor . just tell me what you do know , okay ? and do n't leave anything out this time . [ scene_break ] tess : you know , natalie , if you have something to say , you better make it quick . natalie : oh , i have plenty to say , and you are going to listen . tess : ooh , i 'm quaking in my boots . natalie : i 've already told you that what happened to nash was an accident . tess : no , i 'd have to say it was murder . natalie : no , it was n't murder , tess . and everyone seems to get that but you . you only think that it was murder because you just -- you do n't understand that loved ones are lost , and we all have to pick up and deal with our grief and learn how to survive . that 's just the way life is . tess : wow , god . move over jean paul sartre . natalie : and you do n't know what life is because you do n't have one . i mean , really you 're just a -- well , you 're a pathetic , vengeful , psychotic nobody . tess : oh , okay . now i 'm insulted . natalie : and that baby you 're carrying ? it 's not yours . well , and neither is bree , really . neither was nash because really , nash was jessica 's husband -- tess : natalie – natalie : and the father of jessica 's children . tess : shut up , natalie . stop talking ! natalie : and the real person is jessica , and you took her away from us . so jared and i , we 're not the murderers . you are .

[ scene_break ] nora : i 'm so glad to hear that you and starr are getting your friendship back again . cole : yeah , well it 's better this way . nora : well , to be able to understand someone else 's choices even though they 're completely different from your own , and have compassion for someone who hurt you ? you really are your mother 's son . cole : well , i wish i could be more like her . i mean , she was so strong . she was like -- i do n't know , she was one of those people who everyone loved . well , everyone but todd and blair . nora : oh , she was a remarkable woman . and you brought her much happiness . cole : and a lot of grief , too . nora : oh , well , there were some problems after your father died , but who would n't have had them ? cole : she should n't have had to worry about me as much as she did . she should have been happier . it just really gets to me , you know ? like , why did she have to die just when it actually looked like she actually had a chance to be happy again with john ? nora : i do n't know , honey . cole : i used to bug her all the time about going out and meeting guys . nora : oh , cole . cole : i know . but she told me she could never find what she had with my dad , but then she met john . and every time i saw her face when she looked at him or she talked about him , i think she realized she found that again . [ scene_break ] john : this woman , she had been in a bad accident and ramsey found her . but , you know , that was almost a year ago , so with medical treatment and rehab – fish : she could be pretty well recovered by now . john : exactly . so why would she stay with manning if she did n't have to ? fish : and why would manning be doing all of this for her ? i mean , what 's in it for him ? [ scene_break ] starr : it 's so weird . my dad just is n't even a part of my life any more . langston : you were so close to him . starr : he says it 's because we 're so much alike . god forbid . langston : do you think that it 's off that he 's respecting the restraining order ? i mean , that 's so not like him . starr : oh , no , he did n't . he , like , snuck in my window . langston : what ? starr : just to tell me that he loved me . langston : when did that happen ? starr : it was a while back . i really have n't seen him lately . except for when he walked in on my childbirth class and decided to tell me in front of the whole room of people that he accepted my decision about the baby . okay , langston , i know you hate him and with good reason . langston : i do n't hate him -- starr : but there is -- langston : exactly . starr : there is another side to him , langston , i promise you . langston : i believe you . starr : it 's just that my mom says that he 's therapy - proof . i just wish that there was someone out there that could help him be the man that he 's capable of being .

[ scene_break ] tess : ow ! jared : what is it , tess ? what 's wrong ? natalie : oh , my god , is it the baby ? tess : it 's nothing , it 's cramps . natalie : you 're pregnant -- you 're not supposed to have cramps . tess : how do you know ? have you ever been pregnant ? will you ever be ? well , i guess if jared works fast , maybe he can give you the gift of life for the next , what , 30 seconds or 30 minutes or for however long i set that bomb timer for . death sex would be right up your alley , huh ? talk about going out with a bang . natalie : tess , you 're obviously not okay . tell me what 's going on . tess : i 'm fine . natalie : you need to call your doctor . tess : do n't you tell me what to do . i know my body and everything is fine . jared : yeah , because you look like you 're going to pass out . tess : oh , you 'd like that , would n't you ? then the three of us would blow sky- high , huh ? natalie : it 's not just the three of us , okay ? you have a baby in there and you have a responsibility to take care of nash 's baby . tess : i will , just as soon as i take care of you . [ scene_break ] tina : oh , you are such a pretty jewel . oh , i would take such good care of you . i would polish you , i would keep you safe and dry and i would only wear you to the absolute best parties . [ tina sighs ] tina : but i ca n't . i ca n't keep you . i got to give you to cain for jared , natalie , jessica , and david vickers . i 've got to do the brave thing . i do , but you know , cain is going to take good care of you . i know he will . i mean , at the very least , he 'll get a very good price for you . and then i , for once in my life , am going to be the one to save the day . charlie : well , hi , there . you must be tina . [ scene_break ] cole : why would you think i 'm in trouble ? well , besides the fact that i 'm in the cemetery at night by myself on halloween ? how 'd you know where to find me ? starr : i got your email . and i tried calling your cell phone but you did n't pick up . cole : i -- i turned it off when i got here . starr : i called your house number and nora picked up . she said she did n't know where you were . i figured that you would be anywhere tonight , it would be here to see your mom . cole : so i guess you read my essay ? the second i sent it , i wished i could unsend it . [ scene_break ] marty : hi . hi , hi . oh , i know it 's a lot to ask , but -- yeah . do you think you could tell me your name ? huh ? [ baby babbles ] marty : oh ? that 's okay , no pressure . all on your own time . gosh , i just wish i knew who you were . huh ? who you belong to . there must be some reason i keep seeing you . when am i going to know what that is ? [ scene_break ] viki : why ca n't i stay here ? todd : i 'm just thinking even if tess comes back , we do n't know when it 's going to be . it could be tonight , could be tomorrow , could be -- viki : it does n't matter . whenever it is , i 'll just be here . todd : but that 's another problem . if she knows you 're here , she 's never going to show up . i mean , she could come tonight and see your car in the driveway . she 'll just turn right around . viki : and how do you know that ? todd : well , did n't you say she was trying to avoid you ? viki : i parked around the corner . todd : oh . viki : what is the real reason you do n't want me here ? todd : uh , i was just hoping that you 'd take bree and go because it 's difficult for me to have her here . it reminds me of my kids and how i ca n't see them . viki : how long has it been ? todd : blair took out a restraining order against me . i ca n't come within a hundred feet of them . viki : oh , my god , i 'm so sorry . you know , todd , i know how much you love those children . todd : but ? viki : i did n't say `` but . `` todd : you were thinking it . i could tell . i know what you 're thinking . you tried to warn me -- about being such a son of a bitch about them , how i deserve it . maybe you 're right , maybe i do . maybe i got what 's coming to me . maybe you do , too . viki : me ? todd : yes . tess comes out , you 're not around . you did n't even notice . you go jetting off to africa and leave tess to ruin jessica 's and natalie 's lives . [ scene_break ] tess : time 's running out and i wish i could stay for the fireworks , but bree 's waiting for me and -- ow ! god , ow . oh . natalie : i knew it , i knew it -- the baby 's in trouble . [ scene_break ] tina : do n't come near me or i 'm going to pulverize you . charlie : well , i 'm staying right here . i 'm -- i 'm not going anywhere . tina : did cain send you ? charlie : well -- cain ? tina : because he told me i had 24 hours and i 've still got plenty of time . charlie : okay , look , i do n't know this cain from -- from abel . tina : well , then who are you and what are you doing here ? charlie : okay , look -- okay , look , my name is charlie banks . and -- tina : well , charlie -- `` charlie banks `` ? you mean viki 's charlie ? charlie : yes , and i hope so . tina : oh , oh . thank god . charlie : whoa , would -- would you mind putting that thing down ? tina : oh , yeah . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to threaten you . charlie : no , that 's all right . tina : yeah , not like i 'd know what to do with that thing anyway . huh . charlie : huh . tina : so , um , how did you get in ? charlie : well , lois let me in . tina : oh . so , what can i do for you , charlie banks ? charlie : well , i 'm looking for viki . tina : i have n't seen her . charlie : mm - hmm . no sign of jessica either ? tina : uh , nope . i have n't seen her either . [ scene_break ] natalie : tess ? tess , come on , talk to us . tell us what 's happening . jared : we can help you . tess : it 's okay , baby . it 's okay . you have to listen to mom and slow down . it 's okay . jared : when 's the baby due ? natalie : it 's too soon . tess ? okay , you got to -- tess : do n't start with me , natalie ! natalie : all right , you 're in trouble and -- tess : shut up , natalie ! natalie : i am not shutting up until you listen to reason , okay ? that is my niece or nephew in there , all right ? you are in trouble , that baby 's in trouble . you need help more than you need us dead . now , let us out of here , tess . [ tess pants ] [ scene_break ] tina : uh -- yeah . when i got here , there was nobody here at all . [ tina chuckles ] tina : nobody here but us chickens . but , listen , i have a real important meeting i have to get to , so , um , hey , it was great meeting you and i heard a lot about you from viki . charlie : well , she said a lot to me about you , too . tina : really ? charlie : absolutely . tina : um -- hmm . uh -- you know , it 's -- it 's probably all true and i hope you do n't hold it against me . charlie : well , as long as you 'll do the same for me . tina : you know , actually , viki has n't told me that much about you . charlie : oh . tina : no -- it 's more like when your name comes up , she just kind of stares at her ring and twirls it around . charlie : that bad , huh ? tina : that good . she only does that when she is head over heels -- or worried . or both . charlie : well , thank you for that vote of confidence , then , i think . uh -- tina : and , you know -- i can see why she fell for you . charlie : what , just like that , huh ? tina : oh , i am a very good judge of character when it comes to men . you know , and i once fell for a guy like you -- you know , honest , decent , salt of the earth . i even married him and had his kids . [ tina sighs ] tina : i hope viki has more sense than i did . charlie : well , i 'm not really sure i 've been all that good for viki . tina : you know what , charlie banks ? i 'm going to give you a little bit of advice . you know the -- the caring , sensitive thing ? i mean , that worked really well when you were trying to win viki , but now that you want to win her back , you got to get her attention , just knock her socks off . charlie : well , i 'm -- i 'm working on that . tina : oh . you 've got some tricks up your sleeve ? charlie : well , you 'll find out -- soon , i hope . [ tina chuckles ] tina : oh , and your son is a great guy , too . charlie : well , i could n't agree with you more . i just wish i knew where jared was so that i could tell him that to his face . tina : um -- i -- i think he knows . [ scene_break ] viki : what exactly are you saying ? todd : i 'm saying when you -- when you ditch the family for months on end , go off slumming in texas in that diner or -- or going to africa to do your good works , things tend to fall apart on the home front , not that it 's your fault , of course . viki : you certainly make it sound like it is . todd : i 'm not saying that you could 've stopped marcie mcbain , for example , from stealing my son but it -- it did go away once you showed up again . viki : are you kidding ? she took me hostage . todd : and you got through to her , did n't you ? just like you usually get through to tess . maybe natalie would n't be missing now . viki : oh , anything else i 've done wrong ? todd : hey , you know , you 've always held me accountable for my actions . i 'm just returning the favor . viki : and what does any of this have to do with the fact that i 'm sitting here waiting for tess ? todd : i do n't know . i 'm just saying that maybe if you had n't have gone , things would 've turned out different for a lot of people . viki : how were you affected by that ? [ scene_break ] marty : hey . um -- maybe if i held you . i remember . would you mind if i picked you up ? oh . oh , oh ! marty : lullaby and good night in the sky stars are bright wild roses in bloom fill with fragrance the room [ scene_break ] cole : i just should n't have sent you my essay , that 's all . starr : cole , i thought it was amazing . cole : me spilling my guts ? starr : it takes a lot of guts to write something like that down on paper and then to send it out to strangers ? cole : yeah , well , i still do n't know if i will . starr : look , i think you should . i 'm no college admissions person , but if i read that essay , i would think that here is someone who 's real , who 's not afraid to say how he feels . i 'd probably think that you were the most incredible person that there is . why do you wish that you did n't send me that email ? cole : just was n't fair -- you know , sending it to you without telling you that i talked about you in it . starr : cole -- cole : i -- yeah , i know . we 're -- we 're friends . starr : we are . cole : but it 's not like it was before . starr : i 'm -- i 'm really grateful that you wanted me to read that letter even if you did change your mind . it means a lot to me . cole : you did n't have to come here . starr : yes , i did . you could n't be alone , cole , not tonight . [ scene_break ] marty : may your slumber be blessed lay you down and now i rest may your slumber be blessed [ scene_break ] todd : i 've done stuff that -- well , you know my rap sheet . viki : i 'm not sure what you 're talking about . is it blair and the children ? todd : no , it 's just -- well , you know how i 'm always talking about what 's been done to me by other people ? well , this time i did it to myself , i created it . and i have just been needing someone on my side . viki : and you think i abandoned you ? todd : oh , no , it 's not about you . viki : have you met someone ? todd : yes , as a matter of fact , someone who listens to me , who does n't judge me like everyone else . viki : that 's good . todd : really ? viki : yeah . everyone should have someone . no one should be alone . todd : even me ? viki : especially you . [ todd chuckles ] todd : i 'm sorry . viki : for what ? todd : oh , i did n't mean to come down on you like that . you should n't have to have the whole weight of the family on your shoulders . i could 've done more . viki : what could you have done ? [ phone rings ] viki : excuse me . charlie , have you heard anything ? charlie : no , i 'm sorry . you know , i made the rounds of all of jared 's regular places and nobody 's seen or heard from him . and so i stopped by your place to see if maybe you had gotten back here from your brother 's and i 'm -- that 's where i am now . viki : well , i 'm still at todd 's . but tess was here . charlie : what , and -- and todd knew that ? viki : no , no , no . he thought she was jessica . charlie : what -- tess is n't there now ? viki : the thing is that she left the baby here and she went off somewhere and we have no idea where she is . charlie : okay , but is bree all right ? viki : yeah , she -- she seems to be fine . um -- i 'm -- i 'm going to wait here for tess until she comes back for bree . charlie : okay , well , why do n't you bring bree back here and we 'll wait together ? viki : oh , i do n't know . charlie : look , tess is going to go straight to you when she finds out that you 've got bree . viki : maybe you 're right . maybe i should come home okay , fine . i 'll -- i 'll be there . i 'll be there soon , okay ? bye . todd : going home ? viki : yeah . yeah , at least bree can sleep in her own bed . but look , if tess comes back here -- todd : i 'll be waiting with a straitjacket . [ scene_break ] jared : let us out of here . you need our help . tess : like i need a kick in the gut . natalie : okay , did your water break ? are you having any contractions ? tess : none of your damn business ! natalie : god , you are so stubborn ! really , are you -- are you willing to put this revenge in front of your own life ? in front of your own baby 's life ? is this vendetta really worth losing your life ? losing that baby 's life ? tess : not going to happen . natalie : really ? okay , all right , uncle todd . tess : what does he have to do with this ? natalie : because you are so much like him . you 're so much like him , and look at him , look how he turned out -- he 's all alone in that big house . is that what you want -- to be like todd ? do you really , really want to put your life and your baby 's life at risk here just so you can say you won ? [ scene_break ] viki : that 's my girl . todd : hey . [ bree cries ] todd : oh . here you go . viki : listen , you be very careful , will you , because she may be tess but she 's carrying jessica 's baby . todd : okay , you can count on me . viki : ah , yeah , right . todd : bye . viki : what a good girl . [ scene_break ] [ marty hums ] todd : marty ? todd : what are you doing ? [ scene_break ] natalie : come on , tess . before you have another contraction , just let us out . jared : just enter the damn code , tess , and we 'll get you out of here . we 'll get help for you and your baby , okay ? [ tess gasps ] tess : oh . i 'm sorry , baby , i 'm sorry . i tried so hard . i ca n't do it anymore . i ca n't . i ca n't lose you . [ tess pants ] tess : oh . tess : oh , god ! if you burn me , i swear to god i 'll make you pay . i swear to god i will make you pay if it 's the last thing i do . do you have it , you got it ? [ scene_break ] todd : what were you doing just now ? marty : um , i came in to check on bree . where is she ? todd : viki just took her . marty : why ? what 's jessica going to say when she comes back and her child 's not here ? todd : viki 's jessie 's mom . marty : i know , but she left her with us . i mean , i 'd be upset if somebody took my child without telling me . [ scene_break ] viki : i put bree to bed . charlie : yeah , good . now , are you all right ? viki : yeah , i 'm okay . still no word on tess ? charlie : no , nothing on tess or jared or natalie . viki : i do n't know what to do . i have no idea what to do . i mean , all we can do is just wait and hope that she shows up , right , tess . charlie : now , what did todd say when you talked to him ? viki : oh , please . oh , no -- insisted he had no idea that jessica was tess . charlie : you do n't believe him ? [ viki chuckles ] viki : todd has always had a very casual relationship with the truth . although , i think in this case , tonight he was just trying to get rid of me . charlie : but why would he do that ? viki : todd ? it could be anything . [ scene_break ] todd : i thought i heard singing when i came up . marty : you heard that , huh ? todd : yeah . it sounded like a lullaby . marty : yeah , the lights were kind of low and i thought bree was here . i feel kind of like an idiot . todd : no , no , not at all . it was lovely . if i was a babe , i 'd -- i 'd be in dreamland if i heard a voice like that . what ? marty : i was n't singing to bree . todd : who were you singing to ? marty : huh . the son i never had . [ scene_break ] starr : i ca n't believe you 're looking at colleges . cole : yeah , i know . i mean , i would n't be if nora had n't stayed on my case . starr : do you think you know where you want to go ? cole : i applied to a couple of schools in california . starr : wow , california . well , you did live there . i guess that could work . cole : i was also thinking about maybe notre dame or michigan . starr : they 're really good schools . cole : yeah . well , nora thinks i have a lock at l.u . because of my mom . starr : l.u . is a great school , and you 're a jock , and i think it would be really easy for you to get in . you would definitely -- definitely get in . cole : i do n't know if i want to go to l.u . starr : why ? cole : because i 'd feel like i got in because of my mom or because of what happened to my mom . starr : so ? cole : i 've spent this last year being the kid whose mom died . everything i did , the way i acted , was all about me being alone , even though i was n't . but then it hit me when i wrote this letter . i mean , instead of being all about what happened and what i lost , i should be thinking about how lucky i am that i had my mom for as long as i did . my mom , she worked so hard to teach me to be my own person , to stand up for myself . i do n't want to feel like i 'm working what happened to her . i do n't want a free pass because my parents are n't around , and i do n't want to blame my mistakes on my parents because they 're not here . wherever i go , whatever i do , it 's all on me . i have to stand on my own two feet . [ scene_break ] charlie : i was worried about you . viki : you did n't need to be , you know ? one thing i know , todd would never , never let tess do anything to me . i can not believe i 'm talking about my own child that way . charlie : viki . i -- i do n't know what to do . viki : okay , i think the only thing we have to do is figure out how we 're going to handle tess when she comes for bree . charlie : tell me something . did tina do all of the dealings with tess the whole time you were gone ? viki : you know tina ? charlie : oh -- yeah , just met her , as a matter of fact . believe me , your description does not do her justice . huh . viki : why , what 'd she do ? charlie : well , i 'll tell you what she did n't do . she did n't -- she did n't clobber me over the head with this rolling pin . viki : she was going to hit you ? charlie : well , i think she thought i was somebody else , so -- but she is worried about something . viki : oh , lord . what kind of trouble is she in now ? [ scene_break ] tina : smitty ? smitty : who 'd you think i was , brad pitt ? tina : i was n't sure with all these people in costume . smitty : i 'm just going as a tired , old jeweler tonight . what are you supposed to be ? tina : oh , a deposed faux - princess , desperately in need of a white knight . smitty : whoa . at your service , my lady . [ tina and smitty laugh ] tina : so , my lord , you got the goods ? smitty : do n't i always ? tina : oh , smitty . smitty : huh ? tina : you are quite the artiste . smitty : for you , tina , only my best . of course , no forged jewel can stand up to close scrutiny , so -- tina : do n't worry . i know the score . now , these babies here , they just have to fool one fool long enough for me to get what is rightfully mine for me to be able to put my niece where she rightfully belongs , in a padded cell . [ scene_break ] natalie : you 're doing the right thing , tess . tess : it 's not for you . natalie : i know , i know , it 's for the baby . jared : we 're going to get you straight to the hospital as soon as we get out of here . natalie : god , nash would be so proud of you . [ tess rattles lock ] jared : it did n't work . natalie : it must 've -- you know , maybe try the buttons again . you know , just try it again . tess : who says nash would be proud of me ? jared : no , no -- no , no , no , she just meant that -- that he would be glad to know that you did whatever it took to save his baby . tess : yeah . he 'd say , `` your baby needs you now , so get up off your ass , tess . `` and he 'd also say , `` if you can take care of these two creeps at the same time , then do that , too . `` natalie : no , you know he would n't say that ! tess : yes , he would . i knew him better than anyone , even better than jessica , and he would n't settle for anything less than having it all , and i am going to give it to him . [ tess breathes heavily ] tess : so screw you and your help ! i can do this on my own . [ scene_break ] cole : i saw trick - or - treaters everywhere on my way over here . starr : oh , so did i . actually , my grandma handed out the candy this year . i did n't feel too into halloween . cole : remember last year when we told jack he could stay up and watch the movie with us ? starr : yeah . cole : when i was on my way over here , i saw a kid wearing that mask . the same mask that guy wore -- the guy that i found in my apartment , the one that took me and my mom . starr : cole , are you okay ? cole : the mask , you know , i guess it 's a classic . i 'm sure it 's going to be around every year . starr : and i say we should torch the warehouse . cole : you know , just for a second , everything hit me again . but just for a second , and then i was okay . and that 's when i knew i was going to be okay . and then i could say goodbye to my mom . [ scene_break ] todd : what 're you talking about ? marty : hmm . i do n't know if i 'm losing my mind or just getting it back . todd : well , start from the beginning . marty : um , okay . well , i think it 's all this time i 've been spending with bree . it 's just kind of woke up something inside of me . todd : like memories ? marty : i do n't know what they are . i just know that i came up here to check on her , she was n't in the crib , and all the sudden , he 's there . he 's right there in that crib . todd : i bet it 's just your mind playing tricks on you . marty : i know the unconscious can do really strange things , but i think my mind is trying to reveal something to me . i know it sounds crazy , but it seemed so real . i could not have conjured up an image like that out of thin air . no , this -- this little boy means something to me . he means something very profound and very vital and i need to understand what it is . todd : marty , i thought we agreed , we are not going to look into the past . marty : yeah , i know we did , but -- not now . this -- this -- this -- i need to understand what this is or it 's going to eat at me for the rest of my life . this little boy is going to come back to me in any -- in some shape or form until i understand what his significance is . i ca n't leave him behind . do you understand where something could haunt you for the rest of your life unless you do something and everything you possibly can to put it to rest ? todd : mm - hmm . [ scene_break ] viki : what ? charlie : nothing . i was just -- it was just something , um -- was what tina said about when you do that . viki : when i do what ? twist my ring ? charlie : yeah . tina said that you do that when you 're , um , you know , worried or when you 're -- viki : or when i 'm what ? charlie : nothing . viki : tell me . what did she say ? charlie : well -- she said you do it when -- when you 're head over heels . viki : she said that , huh ? charlie : her words , not mine , so -- viki : tina , the great observer of mankind . thinks she knows everything about me . charlie : well , does she ? viki : i do n't know . it 's so late . where is tess ? what is she doing ? i 'm going to have to go check on bree . charlie : look , viki , i could stay . i mean , if you really want me to leave , i will . viki : no . no , i would love you to stay if you do n't mind . i do n't know if i can handle tess by myself . charlie : well , i was going to stay parked outside , even if you did ask me to leave , so -- viki : charlie , it could get really , really ugly , you know ? i mean , she might need to be restrained . and she 's pregnant . i was going to call bo , but i did n't want to set her off . charlie : viki , i wo n't let anything happen to you , okay ? or your daughters . you have my word . viki : thank you . [ scene_break ] jared : running on rage is only going to get you so far , tess . tess : just got to get me up the stairs and you know what ? the pain 's all gone now . natalie : no , okay , but what if you have another contraction ? tess : i 'm sorry for giving you guys hope , but -- wait , who am i kidding ? i 'm not sorry at all . it 's all part of the fun , right ? you know , when i think of nash falling through the skylight and me begging for his life , i 'm going to think about you two begging for your life and how it got you nothing , just like my begging got me nothing with nash , so -- natalie : hey , you got to stop thinking about us because i am begging for your baby . tess : my baby will be fine ! jared : you do n't know that . we will make sure of it . tess : shut up . thanks -- it 's been real . [ no dialogue ] natalie : oh , god . [ scene_break ] marty : whatever it is about this little boy , it 's something fundamental about me . it may be the one thing that i need to know before i can go on with the rest of my life . todd : but what if -- what if that one thing undoes everything else ? marty : why would you say that ? you know something i do n't know ? todd , if there 's something you know about what this child means to me , you 'd better tell me right now . [ scene_break ] cole : what do you say we get out of here and go find langston and markko and smash some pumpkins ? starr : i actually have a better idea . i think i have some toilet paper in my car and we should go t.p.-ing . cole : i 'm glad you found me and that you read my letter . starr : me , too . cole : just give me a second , okay ? starr : okay . cole : i 'm going to make you proud of me , mom . i love you . starr : uh -- cole : what 's wrong ? starr : i think my water just broke . [ scene_break ] marty : why did you want me to come down here ? todd : something i wanted you to see . i do n't have a choice anymore . marty : well , what do you have there ? [ scene_break ] natalie : we do n't know how long tess set that bomb for . i mean , it could go off any minute . jared : no , she would be moving a lot faster if that were the case . we still have time , and tina is still out there . she 's going to do something ; she 's going to rescue us . we have to keep believing that , okay ? [ scene_break ] tina : cain , i ca n't believe you 're keeping me waiting with natalie and jared sweating it out in the basement . cain : this dog belong to you , lady . tina : look , get lost . i do n't have any candy . cain ? [ scene_break ] natalie : you know , jared , you know as well as i do that this bomb could go off any minute and kill everyone in the house . jared : that bomb was rigged by a crazy , pregnant bimbo ! it may never go off , okay ? natalie , listen to me , do not give up . natalie : come on , jared , we 've tried everything . i think it 's time we say our goodbyes . [ scene_break ] tess : okay , baby . they 're going to be fine , we both will . we just got to get your sister and get out of here before this place blows . charlie : oh --
many things are happening at the same time . cole is having memories of his deceased mother and somehow knows he can not leave town to go to college although he consciously wants to . starr is very near to giving birth . at that same time , tess goes to make certain that natalie and jared are `` in line `` . but it looks like she 's going into labor and dependent on them to help her . marty envisions a baby that she knew many years ago but can not pinpoint that it was cole . yet , she tells todd that she can not go anywhere or do anything until she knows who this baby is . yet , she does n't remember cole quite yet . nor does anybody know that she is alive except for todd , tess and janet .

[ scene_break ] tina : oh , my god . cord : what ? tina : well , her hair 's different , but that 's her . cord : who ? tina : the dead girl . cord : tina , not so loud . that 's rex 's fiancée , gigi morasco . she died . tina : well , yeah , but the -- the -- the young man that was looking for her , i mean , he said she was just confused . cord : tina , have you been pre - gaming that witch 's brew ? tina : no , cord . cord , i swear . i - i know this girl . she came to llanfair just -- just yesterday . this girl is alive .

[ scene_break ] blair : i guess i should n't be surprised that you 're out howling tonight . you always did have a fondness for halloween . todd : you know i love a freak . and you have the best candy . i 'm not getting any sugar from your bowl ? blair : [ chuckles ] you want sweets ? is that what you 're here for ? todd : you know it . that , and i kind of wanted to see hope 's costume . blair : well , i 'm sorry . you kind of missed that one , 'cause starr and james took her out already trick - or - treating . todd : so , go get jack . we 'll t.p . the buchanan house together . i 'm serious . go get jack . i got , like , 96 rolls of double - ply in the car . blair : listen , i think you just need to take it slowly with jack . todd : he 's my son . blair : well , he still thinks of victor as his father . and he needs to grieve in his own time . todd : okay . how long do i got to wait for that ? blair : as long as it takes . todd : mm . blair : i think maybe we could start with him , you know , actually using your real name -- todd : that would be great . 'cause if i never hear that nickname again , it 'll be too soon . sam : hey , scarface . [ scene_break ] rex : so , who 's hiding under those masks ? roxanne : listen , monsieur musketeer . what are you doing here ? rex : answering the door . roxanne : i 'm sure these freaks are not gon na mind if i snare you away to share a drink with the guest of honor . rex : come on in . make yourselves at home . cutter : do n't mind if i do . wow . talk about up close and personal . that was rex , the guy that you changed your face and nearly died for . ring any bells ? roxanne : no one is drinking enough of my witch 's ' rew . rex : well , it sounds like you 've downed enough of it yourself . roxanne : oh , excuse me . you afraid i 'm gon na make some kind of scene ? rex : oh , like you need to drink to make a scene . i 'm more concerned about your loose lips . roxanne : oh , you 're scared that i 'm gon na tell nattie that johnny still loves her . no , do n't worry about anything . i promised i would n't . i made a promise to you . and roxanne louise balsom never belches on a promise . rex : good , because my sister is marrying brody . brody : damn straight . any reason she would n't ? [ scene_break ] bree : please , mommy . can we go to aunt natalie 's party ? jessica : honey , i told you . that party is for grownups . besides , it 's almost your bedtime . viki : um , bree . sweetheart . why do n't you show grandpa what kind of candy you got ? clint : oh , yes . viki : do n't let him eat too much . clint : [ laughs ] viki : i 'd like to talk to your mommy for a minute . clint : oh , we 're gon na take inventory . do you know what inventory is ? you thought you had candy , but you got inventory . viki : honey , why not go to the party ? jessica : oh , you ca n't be serious . viki : look , your father and i will look after bree , okay ? and i think natalie would be really pleased if you came . [ scene_break ] ford : what is this ? jessica : it 's a paternity test . it 's liam 's paternity test . ford : i - i do n't understand . liam 's paternity test should say that brody 's the father . why does this say john ? jessica : i have no idea . i would n't be so sure of that . [ scene_break ] natalie : need some help ? aubrey : oh , no . i 'm the hired help tonight . you 're the guest of honor . you just relax and have fun . natalie : oh , no . i - i am having a great time . and you 're doing a really , really good job . you should be proud of yourself . aubrey : thank you , natalie . that means a lot . natalie : prouder than of what you did to joey . you ripped his heart out and drove over it with a steamroller . do n't try it with rex . aubrey : i promise you , there is nothing going on between me and rex . natalie : your promises do n't mean diddly . all you need to know is that i wo n't stand for it . see , my brothers , they have this weakness for a pretty face who talks a good game . but i do n't . so , watch your step . and keep that cheese dip coming . i love it . [ scene_break ] tina : cord , what am i gon na do ? cord : well , you can start by explaining what the hell you 're talking about . tina : o - okay . see , i - i was busy planning natalie and brody 's wedding , all right ? and then there was this girl at the door , and she said that -- that she used to live at llanfair and that her name was gigi morasco , so i went in and asked jessica , but then she said that gigi morasco was dead . and then when i went outside , the girl had disappeared . cord : tina , obviously , this is somebody else . tina : w - well , yeah , but then a young man showed up a little later , and he said he was looking for someone , and he showed me the picture , and it was the same girl ! cord : hold on a second , tina . tina : no , i ca n't hold on , cord ! i have to tell rex that -- that his dead fiancée is alive . [ scene_break ] cutter : okay . so , you remember anything ? stacy : no . nothing . cutter : figures . i do n't know . i just saw the two of you . i honestly thought for a second it would all come back . stacy : i did n't remember anything . but i got this feeling like he was important to me . cutter : you did go to some far - out lengths to try and snag him . i tell you what . i 'm gon na go get us some drinks . you just stay here for a couple minutes and then we 'll do another pass . but do n't take that mask off for anyone , okay ? aubrey : excuse me , sir , but you are totally coming undone . cutter : [ coughs ] [ scene_break ] gigi : happy halloween to my favorite guy ! i love you , shane ! shane : that 's my mom . i 'm home . [ scene_break ] sam : like my costume ? i 'm jaws . todd : i will never go in the water again . did you get a lot of candy ? sam : tons . we did n't even hit the south side yet . todd : that 's 'cause your mom does n't know where the really good candy is . sam : i tried to tell her . she 's taking me back out later . todd : well , at least she listens to one of us . you want to take this off ? blair : you are asking for it . todd : i am ? blair : yes , you are . there you go . sam : is scarface trick - or - treating too ? blair : now , sam . that 's not his name . sam : that 's what jack said . blair : well , jack is playing a trick on you . sam : again ? blair : besides , you know , we do n't call our friends `` scarface , `` now , do we ? todd : well , maybe we 're not friends anymore . you know , we have n't seen each other in a long time . what do you think , sam ? we still friends ? sam : how can we be friends if i do n't know your real name ? todd : that 's a good question . from now on , you can call me todd . sam : no , i ca n't . blair : why not ? sam : that 's dad 's name , before the bad man made him go away . [ scene_break ] rex : uh , we were just talking about how excited natalie is to be marrying you . roxanne : that 's right . wild , wild horses could n't keep nattie away from that altar . or me , neither . not that i want to try . not that i want to do anything . brody : well , i ca n't tell you guys how much your support means to me . you know , natalie and liam are the best things that ever happened to me . i want to make the balsoms proud . rex : quit fishing for compliments . i already said all the nice things i could about you the other day . brody : i remember . you called me a stand - up guy . and i was wondering if you would n't mind standing up for me at the wedding . tina : rex . rex : brody , i - i would be honored to be your best man . tina : rex , listen , there 's something i -- wait a minute . you ca n't be his best man . that 's cord 's job . [ scene_break ] ford : how 's the -- how 's the rehab going ? clint : i 'm not supposed to have too much candy , so if you find something healthy , like raisins in there , you save them for me , all right ? ford : um , i remember when i got out of the hospital a year ago , it , uh , was a long haul before i could , you know , be 100 % again . of course , i did n't have a - a heart transplant . i - i 'm sure that 's pretty involved . uh , so , what kind of regimen does the doctor have you on ? clint : what do you think ? ford : well , i can imagine you 're probably gon na have to do -- clint : do yourself a favor and shut up . i know what you 're doing , and it 's as clumsy as it is stupid . [ scene_break ] jessica : i do n't think that it 's unreasonable that i would not want to celebrate the engagement of my sister and my ex - fiancé . viki : see , i thought you two had reached some sort of détente . jessica : well , nobody 's been punched or strangled lately , but i would n't exactly say that we 're doing each other 's nails . viki : it would be such a magnanimous gesture on your part if you were to go . jessica : i do n't know , mom . i could go , but [ sighs ] seeing natalie and brody celebrating and dancing together , i just -- i would hate to say something that we would all regret . [ scene_break ] gigi : happy halloween to my favorite -- shane : i was looking for that . my mom gave it to me last halloween , but she died . thanks for finding it . you want a cupcake ? my mom loved them . [ scene_break ] tina : i 'm sorry , rex , but this is all wrong . natalie : uh , what 's the problem ? tina : well , brody just asked rex to be his best man . natalie : and ? tina : well , did n't he discuss this with you ? i mean , 'cause certainly nobody ran it by me , and i have been working my tail off as the maid of honor to plan this wedding . i think somebody should have discussed it with me who exactly i was gon na be matched up with . roxanne : hey , you . best man is brody 's call . and if he wants my boy to stand up for him , that 's the way it 's gon na be . [ scene_break ] rex : you see that woman with shane ? do you know her ? natalie : no . she 's probably somebody 's date . aubrey : careful , or you will totally come undone . here , let me help you . turn around . shane : i 'm shane . what 's your name ? are you okay ? what 's wrong ? aubrey : oh , where are you going ? are you okay ? wait a second . i know those nipples ! stacy : [ breathing heavily ] [ sighs ] aubrey : why do i recognize that chest ? one , two , three , four , five , six , seven abs ! there 's only man i know with seven abs ! [ scene_break ] shaun : ladies , you both need to calm down ! roxanne : i can be calm . by the time i get done with you , you 're gon na be bald ! tina : yeah , well , at least i do n't style my hair with a bug zapper ! roxanne : aah ! [ scene_break ] brody : look , i did n't mean to step on anyone 's toes . cord : yeah , well , you did n't . you really did n't . tina : w - w - well , why are you letting him off the hook like that ? ca n't you see that cord is hurt because you did n't even consider him for the job ? roxanne : he does n't even know brody ! tina : well , exactly . it 's the perfect opportunity for them to bond . besides , what about balancing the tableau ? roxanne : tableau ? what 's that ? phony french ? dorian , where are you when we need you ? tina : i am gon na look ridiculous opposite rex . i mean , if that 's what natalie wants , then she might as well replace me with jessica . natalie : do n't tempt me . [ scene_break ] viki : honey , i can understand why you would n't want to go . but -- jessica : wait . do you hear that ? it 's quiet . viki : it 's much too quiet . jessica : ford . [ scene_break ] clint : come on , ford . even you are n't dumb enough to think that we could ever get along . ford : at least i 'm making the effort . clint : well , do n't , because you are and always will be an unscrupulous dog led around by his hormones . i will never forget how you took advantage of my daughter . ford : and you 're a miserable , old bas -- you 're a miserable , old coot bent on making your daughter 's life as difficult as possible . jessica has accepted my place in ryder 's life . why ca n't you ? clint : because a one - eyed , three - legged , rabid dog would be a better father to ryder . ford : sticks and stones . i 'm not going anywhere , and you can either accept that or you can rage yourself into another heart attack . [ scene_break ] blair : you remember how we talked about how some people have two names ? like your dad . some people call him todd . other people call him victor . sam : like how marcie and michael called me tommy when i was little , even though my name is sam ? blair : yeah , kind of like that . but anyway , see this guy over here in the wolf costume ? you know what his name is ? his name is todd . and you know who he is ? he 's your uncle . he was your daddy 's brother . sam : do you bug my dad like jack bugs me ? sometimes he holds me down and drools on me . blair : [ chuckles ] you know what , sweetheart ? sometimes brothers do things to hurt each other . todd : you take my life , victor ? i take yours . blair : i 'll tell you what . deep down , i know that jack does n't mean it . but it still does n't make it right . so , i can talk to him if you want . sam : dad would make him pay me in candy . todd : that means that victor was a good dad . sam : he was . i miss him . do you ? [ scene_break ] ford : you do n't want to accept me in jessica 's life , that 's fine . but do n't be surprised if that costs you her respect . so , go ahead . make my life miserable . because while you are picking on me , i 'm gon na be the picture of niceness . i will smile and say `` yes , sir , `` even when you blast me when nobody 's looking , because there 's nothing i wo n't do to make my son proud of me . and if you end up looking like a nasty son of a ... s.o.b . , then that 's on you . clint : enough . maybe ... you got a point . ford : i - i do ? clint : yeah . maybe i should make the effort . or maybe i can learn to tolerate you . ford : if you can tolerate me , i can tolerate you . viki : did you see that ? jessica : ford and dad make nice ? yes , i did . viki : will wonders never cease ? jessica : uh , bree , come here , sweetie . why do n't you go and get your coat and bag ? we have one more house that we have to hit , okay ? okay . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] natalie : tina , i 'm sure you understand . tina : no . i do n't . a - and i 'm sure nobody else does . i mean , everybody knows i should be paired with cord . natalie : well , it 's too late . brody asked rex . rex accepted . right ? rex : if brody wants to go with cord , that is fine . i do not want to cause problems for tina . excuse me . tina : well , that is very magnanimous of him . you know , i am thinking bow tie . [ scene_break ] rex : hey , shane . what was up with that woman you were talking to ? shane : i could n't find my card that mom gave me , but she found it . rex : who was she ? shane : i do n't know . she did n't say anything , and then she just ran out . stacy : that poor boy . he ... he ... he was in so much pain . cutter : look , you got to get this mask back on , all right ? we got to go . stacy : it felt like -- like -- cutter : what ? like you guys were mortal enemies ? stacy : no . that ca n't be true . cutter : it is what it is , kiddo . let 's get the hell out of here . aubrey : so soon ? i knew it ! you are going down , cutter , you and your little friend here . [ scene_break ] tina : wow , this is really turning out to be quite a party . cord : yeah , unless you 're natalie , brody , roxy , or rex . tina : why ? are they fighting ? cord : yes , tina . with you . because you tried to install me as brody 's best man . tina : well , i thought that 's what you wanted ! cord : i know exactly what you 're trying to do here , and it has got nothing to do with natalie and brody 's wedding . tina : well , i do n't know what you mean . cord : whatever . as long as it distracts you from that whole gigi morasco business . tina : gigi morasco . oh , my gosh . i almost forgot . i got to go find rex . [ scene_break ] aubrey : i knew i recognized that body . cutter : ca n't get me out of your head , huh ? aubrey : have you no shame , cutter ? crashing an engagement party ? and i told you to stay away from rex ! rex : no , that 's okay . aubrey : i caught cutter and his little accomplice here . i 'll call security and have -- rex : no . do n't worry it . i 'll handle it . what are you doing here ? cutter : i heard there 'd be candy . rex : you still trying to convince me that gigi 's alive somewhere , hoping that i 'll give you a finder 's fee in exchange for my dead fiancée ? oh , this must be your little partner in crime . cutter : lay off , balsom . rex : no , no . this is -- this is -- this is the girl you were gon na try to pass off as gigi , right ? well , hey , let 's see lose the mask , see how close you would have come . [ scene_break ] tina : rex ! where is he ? cord : all right , tina . come on . you 're coming with me . tina : what ? to find rex ? cord : no , to talk . just you and me . let 's go . [ scene_break ] natalie : are you sure you 're okay with cord being your best man and not rex ? because honestly , if that bothers you , i 'm sure if you talked to cord , he would have no problem stepping aside . brody : no , i do n't want to argue with tina . going to war was nothing compared to that woman . natalie : [ laughs ] brody : besides , the only thing i care about is becoming your husband . [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] ford : hey , remind me to send your mom a thank - you for letting me borrow joey 's old shoe . it makes for a great costume . jessica : it does ? ford : yeah , `` the man with one red shoe `` ? the movie ? jessica : oh . bree , why do n't you look at the pumpkins ? i 'm a little on edge . jessica : no , no . um , so brody and natalie can wonder why you 're taking my daughter out trick - or - treating ? i do n't think so . it would have been worse to stay at home . but thank you . and thanks for coming . ford : sure . i ca n't let you do this alone . jessica : yeah . i 'll be fine . and civil . ford : even though you 're still on the fence about , you know , telling natalie that liam might be john 's ? [ scene_break ] [ door opens ] bree : trick - or - treat ! todd : i 'm done . hey . check it out . let 's see yours . sam : it 's you . todd : yeah , it is . blows my pumpkin right out of the patch . blair : okay , who 's ready to go trick - or - treating ? sam : me ! can uncle todd come , too ? blair : well , actually , uncle todd may already have some plans . todd : nope . no plans . i 'm going trick - or - treating . you just try and stop me . sam : yes ! blair : [ chuckles ] okay , sam . well , why do n't you go get your goodie bag , okay ? todd : go ahead . go throw on a costume . i 'll , uh , put these pumpkins outside . blair : thank you . todd : for what ? blair : just for being so kind to victor 's little boy . todd : he 's your little boy , too , right ? blair : um ... i 'll be back . todd : just spit it out , manning . tell her you want her back . [ scene_break ] viki : so , what 's next ? uh , a cookout with carlo hesser ? clint : excuse me ? viki : you 're just on some streak . you extended an olive branch to rex then to brody then to robert ford . can david vickers be far behind ? clint : you think i 'm losing my edge ? viki : no . on the contrary . you are rediscovering something that -- that is inside yourself , something that 's been gone , actually , since the day you were estranged from bo . i hope it sticks ... because it reminds me of the way things used to be . clint : when things were simpler . viki : [ chuckles ] when were things ever simpler ? clint : they were when you wore that . you remember ? viki : yeah . you know , when joe died , i thought that a part of me had died with him , and i thought my only purpose in life would be to raise my two boys , that there were no more chances for me . clint : well , how wrong you were . and as far as i 'm concerned , you still have all sorts of chances . and the question is ... when are you gon na start taking them ? [ scene_break ] todd : blair , i 've floated on a raft across an ocean to get to you . broke out of a paramilitary institution . i feel like you owe me . you want to make out ? yeah , i would n't , either . not exactly shakespeare . alas , poor victor . i knew him well . simple and direct , manning . it 's always the way to go . i love you , blair . i always have . i want you back . not really gon na make out with a pumpkin . pumpkin 's a pumpkin . [ sighs ] i love you . i want you back . i love you and i want you -- irene : ask and ye shall receive . todd : go away . irene : so you can tell blair that you love her and want her back ? i think not . todd : you have no say in that . on your bike . irene : what about sam ? todd : the kid likes me . irene : you think he 'd be drawing pumpkins in your likeness if he knew you killed his father ? would jack forgive you ? would blair understand and take you back ? todd : only one way to find out . irene : blair is going to hate you . so is sweet little sam . and jack ? well , nothing much will change there . i guess we found our silver lining . todd : they 're not gon na find out . how are they gon na find out ? you 're not gon na tell them . you 're dead . irene : i wo n't say a word . but i wo n't need to , because you will do all the work for me . todd : i do n't know what you 're talking about . irene : no ? well , then , by all means , tell blair how you feel . reunite . have a grand time trick - or - treating . we 'll see how long your happiness lasts once they see through your disguise to the killer that you really are . you 'll be left all alone , begging for me to come back . [ laughs ] todd : go back to hell ! [ scene_break ] viki : boy , you do n't give up , do you ? you 're still challenging me . clint : well , that 's what i do best . ever since we first met . you remember ? viki : how could i forget ? when i met you , you were an arrogant pain in the ... butt . [ chuckles ] thought you knew everything there was to know about journalism . clint : joe agreed . that 's why he hired me . viki : he hired you to keep an eye on me . clint : [ chuckles ] and look at me . still on the job . viki : i think that that 's a career you could finally retire from . clint : oh , no can do . it was a lifetime appointment . [ scene_break ] jessica : natalie , that 's too much . natalie : oh , come on . i 'm her aunt . i 'm supposed to spoil her . bree : hey . this is n't a treat . someone tricked me ! natalie : do you have to go so soon ? jessica : yeah . i do n't want bree to be up too late . natalie : well , rex is just about to make a speech . i mean , he should be any minute . ford : actually , jessica 's covering for me . i had a bad candy apple earlier , and i felt a little queasy on the way over , so ... jessica : i have to drop ford off . yeah . natalie : sure . yeah . brody : we really appreciate you stopping by . jessica : congratulations . come on , sweetie . natalie : bye , bree . brody : that was nice of them . natalie : yeah . it was . jessica : thank you for coming to my rescue . ford : anytime . jessica : [ laughs ] come on , bree . let 's go .

[ scene_break ] rex : i could n't get anything out of echo . she threatened to have me arrested for breaking into her room , but then for some reason , she backed off . gigi : thank god . would n't have been much fun explaining that to bo . rex : no . he knows i was just doing my job . gigi : oh , i was talking about viki . she really wants to find out why echo is back in town . rex : i know . echo got pretty intense when i asked her about the necklace , and then she got even weirder when i showed her the letters my father wrote to my mom . gigi : what 'd she say ? rex : nothing . she just had this look . that 's got to be it . she 's got to have some connection to my father ... gigi : sounds like it . rex : but so far , the only thing i 've been able to dig up on her is that she got a speeding ticket in llanview a little less than a year after she left and that she lied about being h -- gigi : what ? rex : this speeding ticket was issued right around the same time that my mom left me at llanview hospital . echo was in town when i was born . gigi : what are you thinking , balsom ? rex : maybe i 'm looking for a connection with the wrong parent . maybe echo is somehow connected to my mother . [ scene_break ] viki : there 's any number of things echo could be up to , right ? it 's even crossed my mind that maybe she 's trying to get money out of rex for information about his father , although he has no money . clint : viki , hold your horses and think this through , okay ? now , if echo is here simply for the balsom kid , then it does n't concern you at all . my people have n't turned up anything about echo that i did n't already know , and i am seriously considering just letting it go , and i think you should , too . viki : that 's what charlie said , but he remembers her differently . he has a certain fondness for her . clint : yeah . well , i do n't blame you for despising the woman for what she did . people only change so much ... viki : precisely . clint : but maybe you may not be the one in echo 's crosshairs this time , and it could be a very good time to call it quits . viki : no . i know that i am not overreacting , okay , even though charlie thinks i am . he is very upset with me . clint : have you two gotten into it over echo ? viki : oh , oh , yeah . we have argued at length . i really think that she 's here to cause trouble between us . clint : sounds like she already has . [ scene_break ] roxy : now listen , echo . rex is a p.i . with a heart of gold . so if he was digging up dirt on you , i 'm sure he did n't mean you no harm . echo : well , everyone has to earn a living . roxy : oh , yeah , especially because his main squeeze is going back to school , and it takes a lot of cash to raise a rug rat . echo : rex has a child ? roxy : oh , yeah . i got a picture . well , it 's difficult , of course . this is rex with shane , greatest grandchild in the world . all right . i want to talk about those pictures . i 've really been thinking about those glamour shots , and i got a whole load of ideas . so what do you think about leopard ? echo : i had n't really considered -- roxy : look . am i disturbing you ? echo : no . no , no . actually , this is the perfect time . roxy : all right . then break out those good lenses . i am gon na burn up those digital files , but first , i got to get into something more appropriate . echo : all right . roxy : i 'll be right back . excited . [ scene_break ] rex : echo might 've known my mom . she might have been with her when i was born . gigi : maybe . rex : you think ? gigi : yeah . we do n't know anything about your actual birth . it makes sense that someone helped lily deliver . rex : yeah , but then -- gigi : what ? rex : if echo was friends with lily in santa fe , otto would 've known her . he did n't recognize her from the picture when i showed it to him . nobody recognized her . gigi : yeah , and you think even the name echo disavoy would be pretty recognizable . rex : it 's driving me crazy . i know who my parents are , but there 's still this huge piece of my life story that 's missing . gigi : i know -- what happened to your father . rex : did he marry somebody else ? did he have other children ? gigi : you could have brothers and sisters out there you do n't even know about . rex : echo has the key . she can tell me about my past and give me answers . cristian : hey , guys . shane told me you guys would be here . rex : he was right . gigi : what 's up ? cristian : well , sorry to bother you so late , but i 'm about to offer you the chance of a lifetime .

[ scene_break ] spencer : why do you continue to criticize our mother when you know damn well she was asa buchanan 's victim ? david : asa did n't lock her in the bedroom . she walked into that affair with her eyes wide open and it ended . she should 've gotten over it and so should you . spencer : oh . never , david . never . i 'm going to get asa buchanan , i do n't care if i 'm his son or not . he destroyed her , broke her heart in so many pieces , she did n't even care if she lived or died ! david : spencer , look where you are currently living . the only way you 're getting out of here is if they execute you . spencer : really , david ? do you really believe that ? because if you do , you do n't know me very well at all .

antonio is getting ready for his wedding the next day . he is n't ' having a bachelor party and finds himself over at nash 's place working on a project . he lets nash know that he is aware of the deal that the man has with vincent for a loan . he offers to pay off the loan so that nash will owe antonio instead . he is doing it for bree 's benefit . nash accepts the deal . cris is n't comfortable with the man who was in love with jessica 's alter attending the wedding . antonio is n't worried at all . dorian is n't happy that kevin and kelly seem to be leaning to naming the baby buchanan . kevin and kelly want that as it would make duke happy and that is his father 's name . david goes to see spencer . david is mystified over why their mother would lie about her son belonging to asa . spencer still talks of the woman as if she were a saint , but david sees that spencer was just used to bring out their mother 's revenge . evangeline freaks out on todd and blair for their radical articles . they think she is overreacting . she tells that if there are too many attacks on spencer the trial will be moved somewhere else where the citizens may not be as interested in seeing justice done as the people of llanview would be . todd compliments evangeline assuring her that all she has to do is bat those brown eyes to win this case . blair is strangely quiet . blair comes to evangeline later and starts about todd flirting with her . `` oh blair , you know that he only does that to get a rise out of you . `` blair feels that todd does it because he is slowly getting through to evangeline and she knows it . rex gives todd the bad news . the lawyer that may have had information on todd 's baby is dead . they would probably try to go to court to get the man 's records searched , but the man died in a tornado and it damaged the building that he was in , as well as the business records that were stored there . david finds spencer 's priorities screwed up . he is in jail , with nothing to look forward to , and he will never get out of jail . `` if you get out of prison spencer it will be because you were executed ! `` spencer can see that his brother obviously does n't know him very well if he believes that there is no way for the man to get out of there .

[ scene_break ] natalie : cole 's gone missing . and marty 's thrilled , which -- i ca n't say that i blame her . i mean , if it were my kid ... i should have buried the report . brody : and carried another secret ? besides , who knows how the courts will react ? he gets a good lawyer , they argue mitigating circumstances -- natalie : no , it 's his third strike . he 's going away . brody : as far as i 'm concerned , he did the state a favor . eli clarke was a menace . look , you had no choice . marty will see that -- eventually . natalie : i 'm not so sure .

[ scene_break ] téa : i 'm sorry . i should n't be pressuring you about your father . danielle : it 's okay . téa : it 's just i feel like i 've been so wrapped up in my own grief and suffering , missing victor , trying to find out who killed him , that i 've been neglecting you . danielle : well , you 're here , are n't you ? remember what we said after the funeral ? we both miss victor , so we 're in this together . do you think it 'll make us feel better ? téa : what ? danielle : finding out who killed him . téa : i do n't know . but your uncle tomás seems to think so . police 's trails run cold , so he wants to use his cia contacts . danielle : really ? téa : mm - hmm . danielle : well , that 's got to help . téa : i hope so . danielle : does he have any leads ? téa : not yet . but he 's got to turn up something . anything is better than having no clue who did this to him .

[ scene_break ] john : besides coming to this diner this morning , i do n't live with regrets . marcie : oh , sure you do n't , john . i bet you regret finding out liam was n't yours . i bet you regret losing natalie to brody . john : i , uh -- i did n't lose her to him , all right ? we -- we parted ways and she moved on . marcie : okay . but you do realize now that you could have made it work , john . when you thought liam was yours , your loved him . john : he was n't mine . it was a lie . marcie : i realize that , and that was terrible . and if i had been here , i would have let her have it . but there 's something called forgiveness , john , and it 's actually a really good thing , you know . listen , michael lied to me , did n't he , about sam ? he let me think that sam was gon na be mine forever , but we got past that . john : that was different . marcie : i do n't think so . i think that natalie put you and brody in the same position that your brother put me and todd or victor , whatever his name -- they put us in the same position . no , maybe you 're right , okay ? maybe you are . maybe the difference is that you actually had an option i never had . you could have stayed with natalie . you could have loved that baby . john : as what ? as mommy 's friend ? marcie : no , as his stepfather , john , and liam would have loved you just the same . john : yeah , well , that 's off the table now . marcie : no , it 's not . because you can still have that family with natalie , john . you can be happy . john : [ sighs ] you know , this is n't about me anymore , all right ? she 's marrying someone else tomorrow , and i do n't know about you ... i can take a hint .

[ scene_break ] rex : the first thing i want to say to you , shane , is i 'm sorry . shane : for what ? rex : for not being there for you and your mom when you were growing up . shane : i thought you did n't know about me . rex : i did n't , but i should n't have taken off like i did . i did n't even say good - bye to your mom . and even if i had known about you , i ca n't say what i would 've done . there were a few years of my life where i -- where i pretty much sucked as a human being . shane : why are you telling me this ? rex : because i do n't want you blaming your mom for any of this . what you and your mom went through , that 's on me . i would n't have made a good dad or husband for anybody -- the way brody was willing to be . what i 'm trying to say , here , shane , is i get it if you still feel connected to brody . you spent your whole life thinking that he was your father . and when you met him , he was a pretty cool guy , so do n't feel weird if you still feel that way . you 're going to get through this , okay ? i know it . and not just because you 're going to have your mom and me to help you with it , but because you 're one of the toughest , most amazing kids i 've ever known . shane : exactly how many kids do you know besides me ? rex : a couple , but none of them are my son . i 've never felt more proud or more lucky to have you as my son . so if i can say anything at all that matters , i hope that does . shane : so what do we do now ?

'cause the bad stuff , it has a way of sticking , you know , of creeping up on you . and just when you think you got it all beat , boom ! it blows up in your face . and that way , it does n't solve nothing , absolutely nothing .

[ scene_break ] duke : well -- uh -- i was looking for adriana -- kelly : he thought that she might be here in the hotel suite . duke : yeah , somebody told me she was , so i assumed , you know -- kevin : you assumed ? well , you know what happens when you assume . i mean , you -- you did n't check ? duke : oh . uh -- no . kevin : i mean , do n't you think you should 've called before you came over here , maybe ? you know , knock on the door before you bust in here ? duke : yeah . kelly : well , he did n't know that i was going to be in here half dressed . duke : yeah -- i mean , the whole thing is just some dumb , embarrassing mistake . i -- i came in trying to find adriana , and i found -- and i fell and she tried to help -- kelly : what -- what are you doing here ? kevin : i -- i thought you might be upset after the wedding fiasco , so i came here looking for you , and look what i found . duke : scandal . kelly : disgrace . duke : filth . kelly : you know , you buchanan 's are making a very bad habit of walking in on me when i 'm naked . duke : hello . kelly : who 's next ? asa ? duke : oh , come on -- ew . kevin : i do n't think his heart could take it . duke : you know , i do n't think my head can take that , so i 'm going to go . kevin : listen , are you sure you 're ok ? duke : yeah , no , i 'm -- i 'm fine . kevin : all right . duke : i think the mental visions of kelly and asa sort of shocked my system back into working , so -- kelly : oh , yeah , please do n't even go there , please . duke : yeah -- i 'll see you guys later . kelly : all right , bye . oh . what ? what , what 's that look ? oh , come on , you do n't think that -- with duke ? i mean , come -- you do n't think that -- do you ? [ scene_break ] adriana : i 'm not jerking you around , rex . rex : no , of course not . i 'm such an egomaniac i think any girl who french- kisses me so hard i nearly fall over wants more than a friendship . i should get over myself , should n't i ? adriana : yes . no ! ok , fine , i 'm confused ! rex : what 's confusing ? either you like me or you do n't , and do n't even think about telling me you do n't . adriana : all right , already , i do ! i like you . rex : finally , the truth . adriana : but i have a boyfriend . rex : that 's exactly my point . you 've been playing me , adriana , leading me on . adriana : no , i 'm not like that , ok ? i do n't play games . i 'm a human being with conflicted feelings , but neither you nor duke will give me any time to figure it out . you want me to be your perfect little duchess , and duke wants me to be some boring convent girl . well , it wo n't happen . i will be who i was meant to be , and to hell with both of you . rex : no , no , no , no , no , you 're not going to turn this around and make it my problem or duke 's . this is all you , baby . you 've been having these conflicting feelings for months now . i think it 's about time you took us all out of our misery by getting un - conflicted , you know , or de - conflicted or whatever . so what 's it going to be ? you want to be with duke or with me ? [ scene_break ] natalie : believe me , when i get through with that tess chick , she 's going to wish to hell that she never messed with my sister . jessica : i believe you . natalie : she has n't got a chance . you get some rest . jessica : but if -- natalie : what ? jessica : what if when i go to sleep , tess is there again ? natalie : then i will be right here , ready and waiting . and , believe me , it wo n't be pretty . natalie : you . [ scene_break ] evangeline : i do n't understand . if there 's any way this drug that spencer 's talking about could help nora , what are we waiting for ? paige : the treatment is experimental , the success rate questionable . spencer : trials have yielded excellent results in a high percentage of patients . paige : one trial , and the numbers are not good enough to risk nora 's life . perhaps dr. truman has n't mentioned that some of the patients who took these drugs actually sustained further brain damage . spencer : a very small percentage of patients , and there 's still no proof that it was the therapy that caused the damage . evangeline : still , why take the risk ? paige : my point exactly . evangeline : dr. miller , i was hoping that i could just sit with nora for a few minutes . paige : oh , of course . go , be with your friend . evangeline : thank you . spencer : that was very , very unwise . evangeline : i 'm sorry , nora . i have n't been here to see you as much as i should have . i should 've been sitting here beside you every minute of every day . but you 're in my heart every second of every day . i 'm always praying for you , and -- and praying you 'll get better . and if i know you right now , you 're thinking , `` will you stop with the schmaltz and the apologies , already , and say something that means something ? `` so maybe i should pick your brain the way i always do . maybe that 'll make us feel close to each other . oh , nora , i am in the middle of a horrible situation and i need your advice , before i screw up and make things even worse . nora : ok , kiddo , spill it . [ scene_break ] bo : you probably know more about tess than i do , but i 've probably known about her existence longer . and i 'm sorry , clint , that i did n't tell you and viki . i mean , i should 've told you right away . clint : i did n't come here to lay a guilt trip on you . i 'm just looking for something , anything to help with jessica 's therapy . for what it 's worth , i think you made the right decision . bo : i wish i could believe that . clint : you know , if you held other people to the standards you hold yourself to , you would n't have a friend on this planet . bo : no , no , no , but it 's not that . clint : no , and i do n't want to argue with you , brother . i just want you to know that two people that you care the most about in this world -- jessica and nora -- they 're in trouble and they need help , and you beating yourself up and second - guessing every damn decision you make is not helping at all . and , you know , if nora were here right now , she 'd be giving you hell right along with me . bo : well , and i ca n't argue with that . clint : look , i 'm sorry , but i have to get back to llanfair . i 'm going to sit for a while with jessica . you -- you keep thinking about tess , ok ? maybe something will occur to you . bo : i 'll let you know if it does . clint : all right . bo : hey -- i 'm glad you 're home . [ scene_break ] kevin : of course i do n't think anything happened . come on . i 'm just glad it was duke who was on top of you instead of a stranger . kelly : yeah . kevin : look , i know it was innocent . it 's -- no harm done . kelly : except for the fact you practically clobbered him . kevin : yeah , it 's going to take me a while to live that down , i think . kelly : we took good care of him , though . kevin : yeah , you were right there with the ice and the t.l.c . kelly : and you were very comforting , very fatherly . kevin : yeah , we still make a good team , huh ? a couple of parenting pros , we are . kelly : if only . [ scene_break ] adriana : it 's not that simple . rex : yeah , it is . adriana : i 'm not going to make a snap decision that could hurt a lot of people . rex : oh -- you know , your sensitivity towards everybody else 's feelings is beyond admirable , but i 've got a news flash for you . the damage is already done , so you might want to hold off on giving yourself a medal . adriana : i do n't have to listen to this . rex : face it , adriana . you do n't want to make up your mind because you like the status quo . you 've got two guys on the string and you 're getting off on the attention , so why not keep it up until someone makes the decision for you ? adriana : that 's not fair . rex : you 're thinking super duke will wise up to the fact that he 's been a lousy boyfriend and shape up , or dump you . but , hey , you figure you 've been leading me along the whole time , so i 'll be right there to pick up the pieces . adriana : that has to be the most vile thing that anyone has ever said to me . rex : you know , if all this had happened a year ago , i probably would 've been happy to keep playing your little game , maybe even gotten a kick out of it . but timing is everything , as they say , and i 'm just not that guy anymore . i 've actually finally grown up . duke : fat chance of that . [ scene_break ] cristian : what the hell good does it do warning me , unless you get word out to the police on what carlo is planning ? angus : ca n't do that . cristian : then your warning is useless . even if i do survive this break , carlo could get out and i 'd be stuck in here in my damn cell , unable to help the people i love . you know , he tried to make me kill my brother when i was on the outside . and we both know he hates unfinished business . you made it sound like you had good reason to hate hesser . could it be that you know what it 's like to have your family 's lives used against you ? because that 's what i 'm up against , angus . i 've done everything i can from in here . the only thing standing between my family and carlo is you . you have to help . [ scene_break ] natalie : i do n't know how you got in here , but you better get your ass out of here right now or you 're going to be in a world of hurt . nash : look , the door was unlocked , ok ? i would never normally just let myself in , but i ca n't stay away , not tonight . natalie : really ? and what did you think you were going to do , slip into my sister 's room and take off with her ? nash : i just want to see her . is that too much to ask ? natalie : actually , yes , it is . it is way too much -- clint : natalie ? thank you , darling . i 'll keep an eye on jessica for the rest of the night . natalie : ok . she 's sleeping . she 's not doing that well . clint : i 'm not going to let anything happen to her . and i 'll deal with this in my own way . natalie : ok . clint : it 's time that you and i cleared the air .

[ scene_break ] nora : oh , i know that look . that 's trouble with a capital j , is n't it ? evangeline : john 's involved , but it 's -- it 's way bigger than that . there 's a secret i 'm keeping for a client . but in this case , i 'm starting to wonder , should i even be keeping it ? nora : you 've got to give me something harder than that , kiddo . you 're a lawyer . maintaining confidentiality is right up there with upholding the law . it 's what you 've got to do . you know ? you 've got to keep your mouth shut . it may not be pretty and it may not be nice , but it 's what you got to do . you 're a lawyer , you know that . evangeline , you 're a top - notch attorney . you 're as good as i ever was , and do n't you forget that . and now i know i 'm in your head because i would never say that out loud . evangeline : i know you would know what to do . i mean , no matter how complicated , you always know . but this secret , nora -- it 's going to come out anyway . i mean , if i could save some people from getting hurt , should i still keep quiet about it ? evangeline : my friend , my dear , sweet nora , i -- you need to wake up . please . it 's no good without you .

[ scene_break ] vincent : look , man , it may be hard for you to talk . or maybe you do n't want to talk to me . but here 's the deal . if you want to get the word out , i 'm all you got . man : i 'm -- i 'm john .

`` get natalie ! `` john shouts that while someone is in his room . vincent goes to natalie at the church and they talk about hugh . she gets angry that vincent goes on about his friend getting better when her boyfriend is dead . `` what does he have to do with me anyway ? `` vincent tells that if what he is thinking is true , then a lot of people will be affected . he did n't come to see her . he came to be in the church . he has fond peaceful memories of being in church from his childhood . natalie does n't know if she believes in miracles . `` john would n't believe in anything that he could see with his own two eyes . `` this gives vincent an idea and he rushes out . jessica thanks nash for letting things go smoothly . he says that he is surprised . she keeps talking about how tess is alive inside her , but he knows that tess would n't run away and hide from things . jessica goes running to antonio to tell him how much she loves him and all that , but she does n't get to finish cause cristian makes a toast to the bride and the groom . after he is finished nash wants to make a toast . the color drains from jessica 's face . all that nash says is that he wishes happiness , and thanks for the inclusion in the wedding . clint knew that he was a good man and always tells people that . todd returns to the wedding alone and spends time with cristian and evangeline . `` you wan na dance ? `` and off he goes with evangeline holding his arm , leaving cris to stew . when the bouquet is thrown evangeline catches it . when the garter is thrown , todd catches it . natalie has a miracle when john appears to her in the church and wants to marry her . she is magically transformed into and bride and he waits for her to walk the aisle to him so they can marry but her mother calls and interrupts the whole fantasy . jessica goes outside and nash is there alone . he seems to get it now that he has seen her marry , that his fantasy wo n't happen . `` does antonio know you are out here ? `` she answers flippantly . `` i 'm still here are n't i ? `` inside , antonio is nearby the door and hears everything . he seems disturbed by what he hears . `` i heard that you were starting a lingerie line ! `` adriana just looks at her mother and walks off . david is pleased with dorian . she got to dance with clint and has made progress . `` one step at a time . `` vincent returns to the hospital to visit the man who he know now is n't his friend . `` i know that you are not hugh . i have to find out who you are . if you have to get something out , i am it ! tell me ! `` the man 's eyes open , and his mouth starts to move . `` i i am john ! `` vincent 's face freezes as he takes the news in .
natalie : there 's only 10 minutes left . jared : you two have to get out of here now . viki : no , we 're staying . charlie : look , tina has called 911 . the bomb squad will be here before you know it . natalie : you do n't know if they 're going to make it here in time . jared : and even if they do , they still have to defuse it . viki : if you stay , we 're staying . natalie : mom , no . please , you guys have both got to get out of here , or tess is going to kill us all . [ scene_break ] bess : i do n't believe in coincidences . other people do . they 're frightened by them . they need an explanation . tess would read her horoscope . jessica would say everything happens for a reason . but i know better . it 's simple math . for every negative , there is a positive . that 's the problem i have to solve . it 's a simple , mathematical equation . i 'm going to turn a negative into a positive . [ scene_break ] blair : wait a minute , marcie , you called todd ? marcie : no , i talked to todd . i ran into him in the hallway , and he wanted to know about starr . blair : how did he even know that she was here ? marcie : i do n't know , maybe the hospital called him . blair : i bet you that he has spies all over this place , watching your every move . marcie : no , i do n't think that was it . he did n't know anything about the baby . i was the one who told him that it was a girl . which -- i 'm sorry , i should n't have done that . blair : okay . but if he wants more information , he 's going to have to get it 100 yards away from here . starr : mom . blair : no , i do n't want him anywhere near you , starr . starr : mom , i 'm the one that called him . [ scene_break ] todd : forget what i said about the baby . i 'm not going to do it . joplin : i just told your daughter there 's something wrong with her . todd : oh , but there is n't , right ? joplin : no , i was just following your orders . todd : right . i mean , it 's got 10 fingers and 10 toes and all that ? joplin : yes , the baby 's fine . you have a perfectly healthy granddaughter . [ scene_break ] janet : oh , do you miss your mother , you little sweetheart ? yeah , of course you do . and she loves you very much . but , you know , so will your new mother and your new father . they -- well , you know , they love you already . and they have n't even met you yet . [ scene_break ] todd : starr had a daughter . joplin : yes , i thought you knew that . todd : yeah , i do . it 's just sinking in now . what 's she look like ? joplin : probably the way starr did when she was born . todd : yeah ? i was n't there when starr was born . joplin : let me understand this . you 're not going to take the baby ? todd : no , i 'm not that man anymore . someone told me i do n't have to be . joplin : and you do n't want me to say the baby died ? todd : no , i want you to give the baby to marcie mcbain , like starr wants . joplin : so you 're not going to do any of the things we talked about ? todd : no , changed my mind .

[ scene_break ] joplin : may i ask what changed your mind ? todd : no . joplin : yeah . well , whatever it is , i 'm relieved . the sooner we tell everyone the truth , the better . todd : was starr upset ? joplin : a little bit . todd : what 'd you say to her ? joplin : mr. manning -- todd : what 'd you say to her ? joplin : i told her what you told me to say , that there was something wrong with the baby , and i had to take her to nicu . todd : that 's it ? no , that 's nothing . for a second , you had me worried there . [ scene_break ] bess : why ca n't everything be as simple as math ? so clean . `` a `` squared plus b squared equals c squared . same answer every time . no emotions to get in the way . when you have emotions , you make mistakes . like todd . he made the mistake of letting tess know what he was doing with his daughter 's baby . and doctors . they make mistakes . they pretend not to , but they do . and victoria . she trusted jessica when she should n't have . but i ca n't fix all of those things . and victoria 's so emotional , she ca n't fix them either .
