[ scene_break ] dorian : she 's not going to bite you . blair : i know that . i just do n't want to interrupt them . dorian : john did look pretty cozy with her . blair : he saved her life , dorian . dorian : and you do n't think there 's something more ? blair : i 'm not going to get into this with you . dorian : if i were you , i 'd go over there and find out exactly what she does or does n't remember . blair : she 's been through hell , dorian . dorian : and you 're scared ? blair : i 'm not scared . dorian : well , then cramer up . get over there . talk to the woman . meanwhile , i will be watching your back .

[ scene_break ] shane : nothing happened . thanksgiving was fine . rex ate my brussels sprouts for me . gigi : of course he did . so , why are you acting like he 's the green goblin ? shane : huh ? gigi : you do n't want to take the picture for the christmas card . shane : that 's not because of rex . gigi : it 's not ? shane : rex helped brody . i do n't mind being in the card with him . if he wanted me to , i 'd even dress up like rudolph .

[ scene_break ] gigi : you know what rex did for brody . he kept him from going to jail , so -- so why did you make the fuss about taking the christmas picture ? shane : because -- gigi : because of what , sweetie ? shane : because of brody . [ scene_break ] doctor : come on , tess . tess : you could take him . doctor : it 's time to go back to my office . tess : and the orderly , too . please , i have to find my baby . brody : sorry , i do n't understand -- tess : look , i 've got the wrong baby , okay ? and nobody believes me . i have to find my baby .

[ scene_break ] starr : it does n't make sense . hope is dead , and she did n't hurt anyone . viki : no , she did n't . starr : but my dad hurts everyone . why ? why does he do these things ? viki : sweetheart , i wish i had an explanation for you . starr : well , i have one . there 's something seriously wrong with him . viki : yeah , you 're probably right about that . starr : then why is he still here ? how come hope is dead , and he is still here ? i have to bury her . i have to bury hope , but at least i can say goodbye . at least i can go to her funeral and say goodbye to her . but my dad is still here . i wish i could bury him . viki : starr , do n't say that . starr : he 's a bad person , aunt viki . he has done this before . he 's done this to my mom , and he 's done it to jack . he told my mom that her own child was dead . viki : i know . i 'm not defending him . i 'm just thinking about you , sweetheart . do n't wish your father dead . starr : then how am i supposed to live with this ? when my baby is dead and my father is still alive ? [ scene_break ] tess : please , you have to help me find my baby . brody : jessica -- tess : i 'll make it worth your while , i promise . doctor : tess , that 's enough . i want to speak to bess now . [ scene_break ] shane : i feel bad about brody . gigi : we all , we all want brody to get better . shane : not that . i did n't think noah miller 's christmas card was cool because his family dressed up like super heroes . i mean , it was kind of cool , but -- gigi : you wish that you could send out a card with a picture of your dad . shane : i always thought that that would be brody . he 'd wear a uniform , and we 'd salute or something , and it would be really cool , but not because of his uniform . rex would n't really make me dress up like a reindeer , would he ? gigi : probably not . shane : i just do n't want brody seeing the card and for him to think that he did n't mean anything to me . gigi : oh , honey -- shane : do n't hug me . [ scene_break ] noelle : well ? rex : you look -- noelle : what ? roxy : spit it out , tell her what you think . rex : i think i need to get my hands on a green goblin costume . roxy : he did n't mean that , baby . rex : no , not because of you . it 's for my christmas card . noelle : is that some sort of llanview tradition ? roxy : are they out of rudolphs ? because you should go to abel 's on third and just tell them foxy roxy sent you . they 'll give you whatever you need . rex : i do n't think that would make much of a difference to shane . roxy : why ca n't you do it , because of shane ? rex : i thought that we could all be in the picture together , one big happy family , except he 's not exactly happy to be part of my family . noelle : oh , that 's shane . rex : what 's shane ? noelle : that 's a boy who does n't like change . rex : you think that 's it ? noelle : kids do n't like anything that 's hard , but sometimes , life just does n't give them any choice . [ scene_break ] dorian : i think that you will find that the fruit has a totally natural taste because very little sugar has been used . moe : you do n't need to impress me . dorian : hmm , i am just trying to repay your great kindness -- for that wonderful bouillabaisse you made me in paris , texas . carlotta : bouillabaisse ? dorian : ah , it was magnificent . moe : i use a full tablespoon of saffron . dorian : okay . but it was more than the saffron . trust me , that trip to texas was an absolute disaster until i walked into the bon - jour cafe and had that marvelous meal , and to think , here you are . and the cafe , right here in llanview , at this particular time . carlotta : how 's everything going ? dorian : we got some very upsetting news today , but i thought , rather than drown my sorrows all alone with the tart au fruit , that i would share it , and that would make everything much more comforting . carlotta : that 's always been my philosophy . dorian : hmm . moe : i could n't agree more . [ scene_break ] blair : yeah , marty , you and i , we 've had our problems . marty : but you did n't hate me ? blair : there was a time when i felt that todd was not there for me because he was paying so much attention to you in trying to make things right for you , so , yeah , i resented you . marty : i see . so part of what he said was true . i mean , i thought it was all lies . john : it was , all lies . marty : apparently not . blair : well , it 's not anymore , marty . marty : what did i do to you ? blair : nothing . it was all because of todd . but i 'm free of him now , and so are you . marty : i 'm not free of him . i fell in love with him . he made me fall in love with him . he told me how hurt he was and how sad he was . john : that 's his gimmick , all right ? he was playing you , that 's all . marty : but you know what hurt him the most ? that you and john had an affair while he was still married to you . [ scene_break ] nurse : thank you . can i offer you a -- have you been discharged ? i 'll get someone to help you . todd : no , no , do n't do that . [ scene_break ] starr : i hate that he 's my father . viki : i get that , darling . i hated that my father was my father . starr : i do n't want to be anything like him . viki : well , you 're not . you are nothing like him . starr : but i used to want to be like him . i used to do all of these crazy little things . viki : i know , i remember . starr : oh , my god , maybe that 's why hope died . viki : maybe what ? maybe that 's why hope died ? starr : no , aunt viki , i was a bad person back then . viki : no , you were not a bad person , starr . and you are not a bad person , and , honey , you are nothing like your father . nothing you did contributed to your baby 's death . she did not die because of you , starr . starr : aunt viki , i did n't want to be pregnant . maybe that 's it . viki : no , darling , it 's not . starr : i just -- i wanted the chance to tell her . i wanted to tell her that even though i did n't want to be pregnant , that i still loved her , aunt viki . i wanted that chance to tell her , that i loved her . viki : but she -- she knew . i promise you , she knew . starr : maybe that 's why i did all those crazy little things back then . it was because i wanted my dad to love me . viki : he does love you . starr : he does not love anyone , aunt viki , especially me . viki : oh , baby , you are so wrong . [ scene_break ] todd : no , you do n't have to get anyone . i 'm not leaving . i will take a magazine , though . thank you . yeah , i 'm dressed because , you know , i heard that gunshot , and i thought i was going to go check it out , but i did n't want to check it out in my nightgown . do you know what happened ? nurse : i still ca n't believe it . todd : what ? nurse : dr. joplin , she was such a nice person . she 's dead . [ scene_break ] nora : why would somebody do this ? why would she do this ? [ antonio sighs ] antonio : she only had three appointments today . the last one was with starr manning . nora : antonio , what 's that ? [ scene_break ] bess : are you all right ? bess : hello . i 'm bess . brody : brody . bess : yes , i heard . let me apologize for tess ' inappropriate behavior . are you all right ? you do n't look well . brody : i should probably go . bess : i hope it 's not on tess ' account . please , disregard everything that she said . doctor : why is that ? bess : she threw herself at this man like a common prostitute . doctor : what about the baby ? bess : nonsense . doctor : you do n't think jessica has the wrong baby ? bess : of course not . i know that as much as tess does . i was there when she gave birth . doctor : so you saw the baby ? bess : yes . tess gave birth to a beautiful , healthy baby girl . [ scene_break ] antonio : thanks . nora : is that michael mcbain ? antonio : he confirmed dr. joplin 's final appointment . she told starr 's family something about the baby 's autopsy . nora : did he say what she told them ? antonio : something about the baby 's blood , something joplin should 've caught . nora : so the baby did n't have to die . is that why she killed herself ? antonio : i 'm not sure . but michael said that dr. joplin made it clear that she blamed herself . [ scene_break ] viki : starr , your father , flawed human being that he is -- he loves you so much . starr : i used to think that but i do n't anymore . viki : well , i do . i know it . he has loved you from the second i put you in his arms . starr : i know , you told me that . viki : did i ? starr : yes , when i ran away from senora lena and i hid in your attic . [ starr sighs ] viki : senora lena -- wow , i 'd forgotten all about her . starr : i ran away because i thought there would n't be room for me with the new baby . viki : and you told me that you thought your parents would 've been a lot better off if you had never been born because they had been having all these wonderful adventures and then they had the greatest wedding in the world . starr : yeah , and then my dad left . viki : and i told you that it was in my attic that you two first met . starr : and he was going to run away forever . and then he did n't . viki : because he was so happy . starr : he does love me . viki : yes , darling , he does . starr : then why would he do this to me , aunt viki ? why would he hurt me like this ? viki : sweetheart , i wish i knew . starr : i just do n't think that i can get through it . [ scene_break ] viki : yes , you can . you can -- you know why ? because you -- you have so much love in your heart , honey . and that 's how you 're going to get through this . you 're going to put one foot in front of the other every single day and you are going to go on because you have so much love . [ scene_break ] todd : dr. joplin is dead ? woman : i think it was a suicide . i have to go . todd : wait -- are you sure ? [ scene_break ] flynn : i 'll get this down to the lab . antonio : yeah . let me know what you find out , okay ? officer : i better get back to manning . antonio : you left him alone ? [ scene_break ] marty : well , is it true ? did you have an affair while blair was still married ? blair : you know , marty , john 's right . we do n't want to upset you . marty : i think it 's a little late for that . todd told me you had an affair . he used it to make me feel sorry for him . i just want to know the truth -- that 's all i want to know . a little bit , is it -- any of it , anything at all ? john : like everything else he said , that 's a lie -- end of story . marty : okay , i just needed to know . i just want to know the truth . blair : well , the truth is , marty , i know how you feel . i fell in love with todd , too . marty : that 's not the same thing . blair : you 're right , because i knew who he was and what he was . marty : you had a choice . he told me lies and i believed them . blair : yes , he told me lies over and over again and i believed him . he did n't care about me -- his wife , the mother of his children . all he cared about was todd . what was important to him was that he got what he wanted . he hurt me more than anyone has hurt me my whole life . marty : maybe . but he did n't rape you . [ scene_break ] antonio : manning , hold it right there . nora : are you going someplace ? [ scene_break ] blair : you 're right , marty . no matter what todd did to me , it 's -- it 's not the same . marty : but it seems like you had your own problems . blair : my entire marriage . marty : well , you obviously saw the good in him . blair : i really tried to see the good in that man , i did . but i was wrong . well , you want to know the truth ? john here , he did everything he could to find you . he did . john : blair -- blair : you know , she should know -- you should know this . even when everyone else did n't believe him , he knew that you were in that house and he did n't stop until he found you . marty : and i 'm very grateful . john : i should 've found you sooner . blair : well -- ahem . i 'm going to -- i 'm going to get going . john : yeah ? can i call you later ? blair : yeah , i 'll be with starr . john : how is she ? blair : she 's okay . she 's -- she 's all right . marty : you know what ? i got a -- i got a question for you . [ scene_break ] moe : now , i appreciate all your hard work . i -- thank you for sharing it with me . dorian : i 'm delighted that somebody with your discerning palate appreciated the tart . you know , i want to invite you to my house for a dinner party . moe : oh , i -- i 'm flattered but i 'm afraid i have to decline . i 'm going to have to catch a plane today . dorian : where to ? oh , no , please tell -- do not tell me that you are going to fly back to that wilderness in texas . moe : it 's home . dorian : your home should be in a five - star restaurant kitchen instead of some diner in the middle of nowhere -- truly . until you leave that place , you 're wasting your talents . [ scene_break ] noelle : are n't you finished yet ? roxy : you told me you trust me , so trust me . noelle : moe 's picking me up any minute . we got a plane to catch . roxy : honey , this is a foxy roxy masterpiece . [ noelle sighs ] roxy : it 's worth missing a plane for . noelle : yeah , i just hope moe thinks so . [ scene_break ] gigi : no one wants you to stop liking brody -- not me , not rex , not anyone . shane : i know . gigi : and just because you like rex , it does n't mean you ca n't like brody . shane : but brody might not think so . gigi : are you kidding ? brody knows that you still care about him . shane : how ? there 's nothing that can prove that . gigi : you know , i 've -- i 've still got some pictures of you two on my camera . shane : from the first day at school ? gigi : no , nicer ones . so what do you say we surprise brody with a christmas card all his own this year ? shane : thanks , mom . gigi : you 're welcome . now let 's go . [ scene_break ] brody : i 'll wait outside . doctor : thank you . bess : no . i 'm through talking . and so is tess . doctor : on that we agree . i want to speak to jessica now , please . jessica : what happened ? brody : you okay ? jessica : brody ? what are you doing here ? brody : i -- nothing . i was just leaving . jessica : i see you had a visit from bess . doctor : tess made an appearance , as well . jessica : huh . sounds like fun . doctor : hmm . it was actually very enlightening . jessica : did she tell you why she was so upset about the baby ? doctor : she does n't think that the baby is hers . jessica : she told my mother that , too . she probably wishes she 'd made a baby with nash instead of me . doctor : she does n't think that chloe is yours either . jessica : i do n't understand . doctor : neither do i , but do n't worry . we 'll get to the bottom of it . [ scene_break ] viki : starr , would you like to hold her ? starr : okay . viki : here we go . put her head in the crook of your arm , okay ? starr : okay . viki : like that . starr : all right . viki : there , you got her ? starr : yeah . viki : there you go . starr : hello . viki : you got her ? starr : yeah . hi , chloe . i 'm your cousin . my name is starr . it 's very nice to meet you . [ scene_break ] shane : so how do you prove that this is shampoo ? roxy : well , it says `` shampoo `` right on the bottle . shane : but how do you prove what 's in the bottle ? roxy : i do n't know -- i 'm not a chemist . but i do know i could cut your hair . rex : it does n't need it . it looks good like it is . gigi : if i do n't cut my hair , can we still do the picture ? gigi : you want to do the christmas card ? shane : only if i do n't need to get a haircut . roxy : well , did n't you see noelle 's ? shane : uh , yeah . gigi : why do n't we just brush it and -- and we 'll call it a day ? shane : did you cancel the photographer ? rex : i could n't reach him . roxy : well , you better not because i want a whole box . i want rexy and his whole family . rex : you got it . well , we better get going . we do n't want to keep the photographer waiting . gigi : bye , rox . roxy : bye , baby . gigi : noelle ? we 're leaving , see you . rex and shane : bye , noelle . noelle : bye ! i 'll miss you ! gigi : let us know how moe likes your hair . he 's going to love it . [ scene_break ] jessica : uh , how much did -- brody : now i know not to show up early . jessica : that bad , huh ? brody : no , not bad -- private . jessica : i 'm sorry that you had to see it . brody : do n't be . i just wish i could 've helped . [ scene_break ] nora : so , it 's kind of odd that you would change your clothes right after starr 's doctor dies . todd : oh , you think i did it ? i can barely move . antonio : right , you were barely moving down the hall . todd : oh , i 'm sorry . next time i hear gunshots , i will stay in my room like a good little boy . does starr know ? nora : that you had her doctor killed ? no , i do n't think so . do you want to tell her ? todd : joplin committed suicide , so i think you already found your killer . nora : you know that ? todd : somebody told me . nora : i think i found your accomplice . todd : what does that mean ? nora : i was on my way to talk to her when i heard the shot . i was going to ask her if she knew that you were planning on stealing your daughter 's baby so that you could raise it with the woman you kidnapped . todd : too bad your timing sucks . officer : i 'll take the prisoner back to his room . nora : oh , no , that 's not necessary . oh , no , no , no , no . he got himself dressed . he can go to prison . [ scene_break ] roxy : yo , noelle ! moe : what did you do ? roxy : kind of knocks your socks off , right ? moe : looks like you combed your head with an egg beater . roxy : excuse me ? noelle : let 's go . i can stick my head in a sink at the airport . roxy : what ? moe : no , wait , you ca n't . noelle : i ca n't ? moe : i mean , you can , but you can stick your head in the sink right here . roxy : what ? noelle : what about the plane ? moe : it 's going to leave without us . we 're not going anywhere .

[ scene_break ] blair : starr , what about your real daddy ? starr : i think he 's gone , mom . i do n't think he 's ever coming back . blair : i want you to really understand . if walker does adopt you , that would mean that he would be your legal daddy forever . you understand that ? starr : and you have a problem with that ? blair : well , i 'm just actually surprised that you 'd give up on your daddy so soon . starr : and you do n't want me to . blair : i just thought that you , of all people , would really hold on to hope , and -- but , sweetie , if you 're ready and if that 's what you want , then i 'll talk to walker . he does have a say in this , you know . starr : he 'll say yes . blair : did you already ask him ? starr : trust me on this one , okay , mom ? he does want us to be his kids . [ scene_break ] viki : hey , i did not come here to bury my brother . todd : now , come on . i beat the curse . you agreed we 'd celebrate that . viki : yes , and i was very happy to meet you , even here , to honor that . but you know something ? we never discussed making this lie that you 've been living permanent . todd : walker 's a great guy . you got to admit that . viki : todd is becoming a great guy . that 's who you are . todd : but blair -- she 's stuck on walker , all right ? viki : hey -- being todd does not make you unacceptable . todd : it does to blair . i ca n't go being todd if she wo n't go with me . she does n't think i can change . viki : do you know even victor lord changed in the end ? todd : no , you 're making that up . viki : no , i 'm not . he wrote me a letter . he confessed to everything he ever did to me . he apologized , begged my forgiveness . todd : when was this ? viki : dorian found it among his papers at llanfair . todd : i would love to see what a victor lord apology looks like . viki : well , you ca n't . she says she burned it . todd : do you believe her ? viki : i would like to believe her , yeah . besides , if she made it up , it was a very nice thing for her to do . todd : she 's probably telling the truth . viki : i think , actually , she 's mellowing . after all , she 's agreed to keep your secret from blair , has n't she ? todd : all the more reason to kill todd , right now , once and for all . viki : i disagree with you . i think you 're much better off telling blair exactly who you are , and i think you better not wait much longer to do it . viki : todd , your return is not a secret anymore . dorian knows . kevin knows . how long before one of them tells blair ? todd : they ca n't prove it . viki : they wo n't have to prove it . blair is a very smart woman . as soon as she suspects something , she will know , and then where will you be ? todd : out on my new face . viki : right . todd : so why rush it ? viki : because honesty is the best spin . [ todd blows raspberry ] viki : yeah . besides , i really , really think blair would rather hear this from you than from them . todd : she 'd kill me before i had a chance to finish telling her . viki : no , she would n't . she loves you . so do i . todd : thanks . but she 's made it pretty clear she does n't want him . viki : you know what the irony here is ? that if you confess that you 're todd , you 're being the walker that she loves . if you continue to pretend to be walker , you 're being the todd that you both hate . todd : do you have to lecture me this minute ? viki : i 'm trying to help you . todd : give me that ring . all right , old man . here 's for your cover charge in hell . now , let 's go .

[ scene_break ] nash : i ca n't actually feel anything . jessica : well , maybe it 's too tiny to feel from the outside . nash : yeah . jessica : i know how much you must miss tess . nash : the worst part is i -- i might never see her again . but when i 'm sleeping , i dream that -- i dream that she 's calling for me , but when i wake up , she 's not there . then i see you . you 've got her hair , her eyes , her lips .

[ scene_break ] kelly : so what 's this little surprise ? i want details . aubrey : you will be the first to know as soon as it 's all sorted out . but what about your guy ? what are you waiting for ? kelly : you know what ? you 're right . i just -- i got to get in there and tell him how i feel . aubrey : wait , i was just there . maybe i saw him . what does he look like ? aubrey : he 's tall , dark , and handsome , and you know what ? he comes from a very powerful family , and yet , he is still so sweet . and he has gorgeous blue eyes . aubrey : well , yeah , to tell you the truth , i only had eyes for my guy . kelly : ha ha ha . you know what ? and that 's the way it should be . i got to go . wish me luck . aubrey : good luck . [ scene_break ] inez : wait . do n't send something unless you 've had a chance to really think about it . bo : what 's there to think about ? inez : well , you said nora 's not being herself . and with a text message , it 's not easy to figure out what the other person 's really feeling . you do n't want her to misinterpret anything . bo : yeah , but she 's the one that took off and then wo n't return my calls . and now she wants to work herself into a frenzy over a non - issue . inez : do you really want to make it worse ? bo : well , i ca n't just sit here . the longer i wait , the worse it 's going to get . there . so maybe this is going to jar her senses and -- and then she 's going to want to come home .

eddie holds nora captive and puts his plan into motion , apparently as clint has instructed him . he sends bo a text from her phone about how he is very petty to be holding her indiscretion with sam rappaport , that happened so many years ago , against her . he 's sitting with inez at buenos dias when he gets the text . and he concludes that nora is being a coward to send texts instead of talking to him directly . he does not suspect that anybody has put her up to writing that although inez is able to put two and two together to figure out it 's clint that is prompting eddie to break them up . charlie takes echo home . she kisses him and tells him he means so much to her . but he tells her that he is happily married . unknown to them , however , dorian appears outside the window to see them kissing . echo convinces charlie not to tell viki that another woman kissed him in their living room , reminding him that viki has a heart condition and also that viki will throw her out of the house when she has no job , no money , nowhere to go and is the mother of charlie 's son . at that point , he agrees not to tell viki . but dorian wastes no time to let viki know what she saw . meanwhile , joey tells both of his parents that he is going to marry aubrey even though he barely knows her and knows very little about her . they both tell him he 's rushing in and will regret it . but he does not listen . kelly still has the idea that joey is single and available to her . rex goes inside marty 's home while she 's out and almost gives up on finding anything until he discovers that she has natalie 's ob - gyn report inside a photo album she has of cole .

[ gasps ] starr : [ sighs ] clint : no ! you did not just shoot your lover with a frat party going on two floors below ? brandon : i ca n't believe you shot me . briana : relax , they were blanks . clint : thank god ! god , these damn writers . these writers are messing with my briana . viki : clint ? what are you watching ? briana : what 's the matter , brandon ? ca n't take a joke ? brandon : it was n't funny . shane : whoa . whoa . brandon : it was hot . shane : noelle ! stacy : finally real food ! how can a flight from rio to texas be 22 hours ? cutter : well , at least now you can say you 've been to el salvador , panama , houston ... stacy : all i can say is how do airlines get away with calling crackers and a flat soda a meal ? cutter : we could have stayed in south america . stacy : or you could have picked a different destination after i stuck my finger on that globe . cutter : yep . [ southern accent ] i guess paris , texas , is as good a place as any to start over , huh ? stacy : definitely . [ sighs ] especially since dr . fascinella refused to give me my old face back . cutter : it 'd be kind of hard , since the face you have is the one you were born with ... gigi . [ soft music plays ] [ soft music plays ] aubrey : some kiss . rex : uh - huh . [ breathing heavily ] briana : stop . we ca n't . brandon : because my fraternity and your sorority are enemies ? or because they might find out ... you 're my sister . rex : what ? ! viki : did she just say that -- clint : what the hell ? starr : [ gasps ] no way ! shane : noelle ! noelle : what ? ! [ gasps ] they 're related ! [ gasps ] shaun : no , they did n't ! destiny : yes , they did . rama : this is crazy ! roxanne : oh , my god , it is . god , i love this show . jack : get off me ! starr : only if you promise to behave . jack : fine ! fine ! whatever ! starr : jack , i 'm serious ! i need to work on my paper ! jack : maybe you 'd get more work done if you turned off the tv ! starr : oh , thanks , aunt dorian . i 'm taking a `` fraternity row `` break . the show is on fire . jack : it 's good , but it was great when ruby bright was on it . starr : really ? i 'm more of a roxanne fa -- how do you know who ruby bright is ? jack : duh , our cousin megan played her , aunt viki 's daughter ? viki : so , you 're a fan of `` fraternity row . `` clint : i was watching the markets tank on the finance channel . and i went to turn up the volume , and i hit the wrong button . a - a - and then i got this . i do n't even know what that is . and then this -- this did n't work . the remote did n't work . yeah , this television , you need a new one . it 's junk . brandon : have you told anyone about us ? briana : not yet , but ... [ click ] clint : there . who wants to watch that anyway ? viki : well , maybe somebody who wants to find out if brandon and briana really are brother and sister , like me . you can go watch the markets tank somewhere else . there 's a lot of tvs in the house . this one , which is not junk , is reserved for `` fraternity row . `` and i , for one , ca n't wait to find out the truth . [ click ] briana : i have to choose ... clint : i guess the markets will do what they do without me watching . brandon : ... do n't suspect a thing . shaun : brandon and briana can not be brother and sister . destiny : well , it makes sense if you think about it . shaun : and the way they were kissing ? i definitely do n't want to think about it . worst plot device ever . roxanne : excuse me , but that 's what people were saying when durwood and lorraine went to eternity . and now people are saying , `` best story line ever . `` rama : what 's eternity ? roxanne : duh . the underground city of gold . destiny : there was an underground city of gold on `` fraternity row `` ? roxanne : oh , yeah . it was everybody 's favorite story line , and i think it happened right after dash 's brother got killed by an exploding birthday cake . shaun : which was totally stupid . roxanne : you know , man , you think everything is stupid , but you never miss an episode . you know , you ca n't have people being happy all the time . shaun : i 'd settle for one person to be a little happy for one day . roxanne : you know , baby , happy is boring ! shaun : i have waited for brandon and briana to get together for , i do n't know , how long ? and for them to end up brother and sister ? this is wrong ! and you know what ? roxanne : what ? shaun : i 'm done . i 'm never watching this stupid show again . destiny : hey , it 's back on ! shaun : out of my way ! roxanne : oh ! oh ! rama : move ! starr : i know megan was on `` fraternity row . `` but how do you know that ? she died before you were even born . jack : so ? she died before you were born , too . starr : well , i would watch aunt viki 's tapes . she recorded every episode that megan was in . jack : well , now they 're online . starr : and how do you know that ? jack : the -- the girls at school watch it , and they make me watch it with them . starr : they strapped you down and clipped your eyes open ? jack : i 'm just saying , if i learn to speak their language , it 's easier to get in with them . starr : with them , or one girl in particular ? rama : neela ! hey , baby . okay , everyone , i want to introduce you to my sister- in - law -- roxanne : shh ! shaun : tell us at the commercial . briana : it does n't matter . brandon : yeah , it does , briana ! destiny : i 'm destiny . neela : hi , i 've ... seen you around school . destiny : yeah , i 'm kind of hard to miss these days . so , did you just move to llanview ? rama : neela 's my sister - in - law . she 's staying with us for a while . destiny : nice . so , are you making friends okay ? neela : i thought i was , but now i 'm not so sure . noelle : sorry to be such a klutz . i got to be more careful when that show is on . shane : it 's okay . noelle : oh , i got a lot on my mind . i 'm using the buenos dias ' ovens to experiment on a new pie . the annual paris , texas , pie - off is coming up , and the pressure is on to wow 'em . shane : did n't you already win before ? noelle : oh , i had my winning streak . but last year , when they gave the blue ribbon to some plain old pumpkin pie ... shane : pumpkin ? that 's so lame . noelle : i know . it 's a fluke . it has to be . oh , anyway , tonight we 're leaving for paris , and i 'm gon na take back my crown -- even if it means i have to force - feed my pastry to every last person in the city limits . cutter : so , did you have a chance to check out the menu ? whoa . stacy : problem ? cutter : it 's like déja vu all over again . noelle : you know , i 've got a pie in the oven right now . can you smell it ? what do you think ? shane : maybe . it might -- noelle : oh , that 's right . you 're a cake person , not a pie person . never mind . shane : actually , i think ... noelle : [ gasps ] `` fraternity row `` is back . shane : do you smell smoke ? [ gasps ] my pie ! [ gasps ] [ cell phone rings ] shane : hey , dad . rex : hey , buddy . i 'm just checking in . what 's up ? shane : not much . just putting out fires . rex : okay , well , just keep holding the fort down a little while longer . i 'll be home soon . there 's just one more person i need to see . shane : okay , love you , dad . rex : i love you , too , buddy . is there any sign of her ? aubrey : nothing yet . rex : i still can not believe that s - stacy 's alive , and that she had plastic surgery to make herself look like gigi . aubrey : i know . it 's crazy . but you saw the medical records from that clinic down in brazil . rex : yeah , i did . aubrey : and the fact that she skipped out on her bill and did n't tell anyone where she was going . rex : when she left , she would have needed help . there 's only one person wacko enough to give it to her . kim : [ gasps ] rex : and here she is now . sorry for the delay . life here slows to a crawl when `` fraternity row `` is on . rex : i can see why . i 'll leave you to your visit . kim : so ? how 'd you find me ? aubrey : your boss at the spotted pony gave you up . rex : for a song , too . you know , i knew you were a piece of work , but a killer ? kim : i did n't kill anyone . i was framed . rex : of course you were . kim : please , rex , you got to help me . there 's no one else since clint blew me off . [ click ] viki : how could you think i would forget that you liked this show ? we used to watch it together all the time when megan was on it . clint : yeah , i remember . viki : mm - hmm . clint : but i did n't think you watched it anymore . viki : ah , where do you think i disappear to every monday through friday from 2 : 00 to 3 : 00 in the afternoon ? clint : i guess i was too busy watching it myself to even notice . so i think we should make this a standing date . viki : [ chuckles ] it 's been very good recently , has n't it ? clint : oh , it 's been great . in my opinion , it should sweep the daisy awards this year and make up for last year when they lost . that was criminal . viki : yes , it really was criminal . but ... at least we have this . clint : yeah . megan 's award . viki : mm - hmm . clint : [ chuckles ] i remember i escorted you to the awards ceremony that year , and i thought you should have won a daisy of your own for your portrayal of nurse number 2 . viki : oh , that 's ridiculous . i was terrible . oh , my god . if there 's one thing i 'm not , it 's an actress . clint : admit it . you loved it . viki : no , i did n't ! honestly , i hated it ! i was terrified ! the only reason i did it is because megan cajoled me into it . clint : that girl could get you to do anything . and i kicked myself when you told me megan was your daughter . i mean , i should have seen that from the get- go . i mean , you 're so much alike . viki : how so ? clint : well , your iron will . viki : oh . clint : your love of your family . but most of all , because megan ... had you wrapped around her finger , just like you have me wrapped around yours . destiny : well , i 'll be your friend -- not that i 'll be around much since i am having this baby and the father just woke up from a coma . rama : matthew 's awake ? that 's wonderful . congratulations . destiny : thank you . rama : neela , what 's this about another friend ? neela : a boy asked me out on a date . destiny : come on ! you 've been going to this school for like five minutes . rama : who is this lucky boy ? neela : jack manning . rama : your prince ? ! fantastic ! when 's the big date ? neela : i have to say `` yes `` first . rama : and what 's stopping you ? neela : there are a lot of rumors about him . rama : what kind of rumors ? neela : that he killed somebody . roxanne : yo , girly , just so you know , those ai n't rumors . that 's the dog 's honest truth . jack : you 're missing your show . starr : i 'm dvring it . so who is this girl ? jack : there is no girl . starr : the same one that you hid in the cabana the other night ? jack : did you sleep okay ? neela : like an angel . thank you for ... hiding me here last night . jack : oh , sure . um ... i do n't really know what you eat for breakfast . neela : fruit is perfect . jack : how do you know about that ? starr : see these ? they 're called eyes . jack : does mom know ? starr : no . lucky for you , she 's been preoccupied . jack : starr , you ca n't tell her anything . starr : do n't worry ! after everything i did in high school , i 'm not gon na blow your spot . jack : thanks . starr : just please do me one favor . do n't mess up like i did . stay safe . jack : oh , not a problem . i 'm not sure she even likes me , not since shane morasco opened his big mouth . shane : oh , no . noelle : let this be a lesson to you -- great soap and great baking do not mix . now i got my work cut out for me . shane : but why do you need to win the pie contest anyway ? everyone already knows you 're the best pie maker in all 50 states . noelle : well , are n't you just as sweet as honey in the hive ? oh , i know i do n't need another blue ribbon to prove that i can bake a great pie . in fact , i 'd be happy to step aside and let some other ... lesser baker take the spotlight . shane : so , why do n't you ? noelle : because this is no ordinary year . this year , i have been working on a very special pie -- one that could revolutionize the dessert world . shane : sounds like some pie . noelle : oh , it is ! it 's got a crust as crisp as a good quip and a fillin ' like a down blanket on a winter 's day . oh , the texture is amazing ! and the filling walks that tasty tightrope between tart and sweet . oh , it does n't matter where you are . one bite , and you are right at home . shane : you sold me . i think i can actually get past my pie prejudice and give it a try . noelle : oh , well , i hope you like it , because inspiration for this one is very close to my heart . i call it ... the gigi morasco special . stacy : i thought you said you 'd never been to paris , texas , before . cutter : i have n't . stacy : so why do you feel like you 're having déja vu ? cutter : all right , maybe i 'm crazy , but there is a place back in llanview that is exactly like this place . it 's a diner called `` buenos dias . `` stacy : maybe it 's a chain . cutter : maybe . i guess there could be a guten tag gourmet somewhere or a buon giorno joint . [ country music plays ] cutter : what 's wrong ? stacy : nothing . i 'm just looking around . this plays feels familiar to me , too . cutter : sure , i mean , you know , when you were in llanview with your old face , you probably kicked back at the buenos dias from time to time . stacy : yeah . probably . rex : you know , clint might not have abandoned you if had given him a single reason to stick with you . kim : what are you talking about ? rex : we did n't come here to hook you up with clint . we need answers . kim : about what ? aubrey : as if you do n't know . kim : i 'm not a mind reader . rex : about stacy ! kim : what about stacy ? rex : we know that she 's alive , okay ? we know that she gave herself gigi 's face so that she could worm her way back into my life , and we know that you were in on it . we need to find her . so you 're gon na help . shaun : commercial 's over . roxanne : yeah , yeah , yeah . i 'll be there in a minute . just got to give neela the 911 on jack manning . neela : is it true ? did he really kill someone ? roxanne : not just someone , honey -- the mother of my grandkid . neela : you 're shane 's grandmother ? roxanne : well , some people think i look like his big sister , but that 's way besides the point . all you need to know is that the most beautiful girl is dead and gone , and that 's because of jack . starr : what did shane say to this girl ? jack : i do n't know ! i have n't been able to get her on the phone to find out . why are girls so weird ? it 's like one second she 's all into me , and the next it 's like i have a disease . starr : well , what do you think shane said ? jack : probably something about his mom . starr : she 's gon na find out about it eventually . jack : i guess so . it 's never gon na go away , is it ? starr : no , but it can hurt a lot less . jack : how ? starr : you tell her the truth about what happened to gigi . shane : i bet the gigi morasco special 's the best thing you 've ever made . noelle : oh , i hope the pie - off judge agrees with you . i do n't want to tarnish gigi 's memory . i miss her so much . shane : me too . noelle : you know what i like to remember about gigi ? how she used to give moe guff . [ chuckles ] she was fearless . i always wished i could be as bold as she was . shane : i think she was the bravest person i 've ever known . noelle : how about you ? what 's your favorite memory of your mom ? shane : when she worked at the bon jour , she would come home really late . i 'd wait up for her , even though she told me it 'd make her really mad , but she never was . we 'd read this chapter from a book -- `` where the red fern grows . `` noelle : oh , i know that book . yeah , the one about the dogs . shane : yeah . it was my favorite , because of how little ann and old dan fend off the mountain lions and then live a happy life with billy . noelle : really ? i thought the dogs died at the end . shane : not when my mom told it . every time we got to that part , she would change it , because she knew it would make me sad . noelle : oh . shane : i just ... wish i could have changed the ending for her . cutter : excuse me , um , we 're -- we 're ready to order . oh , sorry . i was getting all caught up on `` fraternity row . `` cutter : oh , what 's going on with brandon and briana ? wh -- cutter : d - d - d - do n't tell me . do n't tell me . i 'm gon na watch it tonight on soapnet . stacy : what are you two talking about ? honey , have you been livin ' under a rock ? you 've got amnesia ? miss , seriously ? that 's what happened to gilda on `` fraternity row . `` cutter : oh , yeah , right after she got out of a coma . can you imagine not being able to remember your loved ones ? [ scoffs ] makes me sick just thinking about it . kim : uh , i do n't know what you 're talking about . rex : oh , quit playing ! we went to the clinic in brazil where stacy had the surgery . we saw her records . and i know that you had her holed up in this hospital in anchorage . so tell us where to find her ! kim : wait . wait a second . are you saying she 's not in that hospital ? she 's awake ? ! rex : i -- you did n't know ? kim : i -- i know that she got that surgery to look like gigi , and , yeah , i ... i was keeping her in that hospital , but the last time i checked , she was there , in a coma . rex : well , she 's not there anymore . kim : well , have you seen her ? is she all right ? rex : oh , believe me , i 've seen her . kim : is she okay ? ! rex : well , why should we tell you anything after what you did ? kim : you just said you needed answers . rex : yeah , and obviously you do n't have any . you 're even more out of the loop that we are . come on , aubrey . let 's go . kim : i know how to find stacy ! rex : yeah ? so tell us . kim : no , not until you do something for me first . rex : like what ? kim : like get me out of here so i can go confront clint . viki : that 's ridiculous . i do n't have you wrapped around my little finger or anything else . clint : you know , megan was a chip off the old block . she could be maddening and willfully blind , just like her mother . viki : um , what am i being willfully blind about ? if i had that much influence over you , clint buchanan , it would not be like pulling teeth to get you to do your physical therapy , right ? [ both chuckle ] clint : no , i 'm not talking about physical therapy . and you know it . viki : what are you talking about ? clint : come on , viki . are you actually gon na make me say it ? viki : um ... you 're gon na have to . i 'm kind of in the dark here . clint : well , maybe this will help ... have you see the light . clint : now , do n't you tell me that you did n't see that coming . viki : wow . um ... no . i mean , well ... yes . i mean , the thought had crossed my mind , but i - i did n't think it was gon na happen . i mean , we went our separate ways so long ago . clint : i know , but since we 've been living under the same roof again , i 've been feeling something . viki : and what exactly is that ? clint : the same thing i felt when we first fell in love . the same thing i felt when we were living together all those years raising our family . it 's still there , and ... somehow , i think it never left . viki : [ chuckles ] where 's it been all this time ? clint : well , maybe it 's just been taking an awful long nap . but it 's awake now , and i ca n't ignore it . viki : yeah . clint : and now that kimberley 's out of my life , we have no more obstacles between us . viki : uh , uh , i 'm sorry . what do you mean now that kimberley 's out of your life ? clint : yeah , i never -- i never told you , but ... uh , kimberly wrote me a letter . `` dear clint , i 'm sorry if this sounds harsh , but i believe that keeping things quick and clean and honest is the best way . i 've met someone else , and i 've fallen in love . the fact is , he 's better - suited to me and free to be with me . so i 've moved on . hope you have , too . sincerely , kimberly andrews . `` [ drawer slides ] clint : you see ? viki : yeah , yeah , i see . i see , all right . clint : what 's that mean ? what do you mean you see , all right ? viki : why you kissed me . it was n't because of any `` feeling . `` you kissed me because you ca n't have kim . kim : `` dear kim , i am in receipt of your letter . i 'm sorry i will be unable to help you with your legal problems given my own . please do not contact me again . sincerely , clint . `` can you believe that ? he gave me the brush - off . nobody gives me the brush - off ! rex : yeah , like i said , we 're not here to play matchmaker , so ... kim : just get me out , and i 'll do the rest . aubrey : you want us to lead a jail break ? kim : please , that 's obviously above your pay grade . i do n't want you to break me out . i want you to clear me . rex : how are we supposed to do that ? kim : there 's a certain photograph that should do the trick . rama patel has it . aubrey : rama ? what does she have to do with this ? kim : she and cutter are the ones who framed me . just get me that photo , and i 'll hook you up . rex : y - y - you did n't even know stacy was awake ! how are you gon na find her ? kim : believe me , i 'll find her . and i 'll fill in a lot of the blanks for you , 'cause you clearly do n't know the whole story . rex : about what ? kim : i 'll tell you everything stacy did . and there 's something else i 'll tell you -- what really happened to gigi in that basement . cutter : all right , so , first thing we do is we get a room at that motel across the way , the bon suites . stacy : bon suites . cutter : whatever . [ as austin powers ] french was never my bag , baby . [ normal voice ] more of an accent guy . aubrey was the one who was good with languages . uh , okay . so , uh , tomorrow , we figure out our next move . maybe we can get jobs , figure out how we 're gon na put down roots in this [ southern accent ] this old town . stacy : yeah , i do n't think that 'll be too hard . cutter : why do you think that ? stacy : [ sighs ] i do n't know what it is . i ... i just know this place is safe . it feels like home . noelle : honey , your mama was taken from us way too soon . but she was so blessed to have you and rex in her life , and that 's what she 'd want you to remember -- how much joy you brought her . shane : i know . but ... it 's really hard when you see jack manning at school every day never having to pay for what he did to her , acting like nothing ever happened . noelle : but does n't everybody know ? shane : yeah , but no one really ever thinks about it . there 's this new girl . she 's really cool , but she actually kind of likes jack . so i told her what he did to my mom . noelle : well , good for you . what 'd she say ? shane : you ... think jack 's innocent ? neela : [ sighs ] i think ... you want to get back for him -- for how he treated you . shane : no , i saw the look on your face . neela : what look ? shane : when i was telling you about jack and my mom , you ... looked like you knew something . shane : i do n't even know if she believes me . noelle : shane , you listen to me . if this girl is half as cool as you say she is , she will see right through jack manning . neela : i 'm sorry . what happened to your family is a tragedy , but i 'm not ready to condemn jack just yet . roxanne : oh , man . i do n't know what it 's gon na take , but you 'd better trust me , 'cause jack manning is bad news . neela : i just think i should hear what jack has to say before i decide that i ca n't be his friend . roxanne : destiny , you want to back me up here ? destiny : well , i do n't really know the details of what happened to shane 's mom , but i do know that jack tormented shane all last year . neela : and jack told me that , and he genuinely feels really bad about it . roxanne : oh , yeah . i am so sure . yo , shaun ! you work for the family . what do you think about him ? shaun : that 's privileged information . destiny : listen , neela , i do n't blame you for not jumping to conclusions . people do it to me all day , every day . roxanne : [ sighs ] neela : so you think i should give jack the benefit of the doubt ? destiny : well ... it 's possible there 's more to jack , i just have n't seen it yet . starr : i know you miss victor . jack : do n't call him victor . starr : dad -- i know you miss dad . and i know how close you guys were . nobody knows better than i do what it 's like to lose that -- that one person that you trust the most and you feel so alone , but , jack , you are not alone . you have me and mom , and we will be there for you no matter what . you just have to let us in . starr : you just have to trust me . jack : trust you ? why would i trust you ? you 're hooking up with your boyfriend 's little brother , who happens to be your sister 's ex . starr : jack , none of that is true . rick powers made all of that up . jack : so why do n't you sue him ? starr : because he 's suing me . but i expect him to drop it any minute . jack : whatever . i can take care of myself . i can get the girl on my own . neela : maybe you 're right . maybe i should stay away from jack . roxanne : smart girl . smarter than i thought . okay , why do n't you join us for the end of `` fraternity row `` ? i admit , i 'm a little addicted , but it is the best show on television . neela : thank you . i should go start my homework . rama : no , are you sure you do n't want to stay and hang out for a little while ? neela : i 'm sure . i 'll see you at home ? rama : okay . take care . neela : [ speaks indistinctly ] shane : neela ? what are you doing here ? neela : your grandmother and destiny evans told me about all your troubles with jack . shane : they did ? neela : i should have listened to you . now i know what you said is true . i ca n't possibly go out with jack now . clint : what are you getting at ? you 're talking like kimberly being out of my life is a bad thing . viki : you kissed me . clint : uh - huh . you kissed me back . viki : yes , and then you implied that that was a direct result of kimberly being absent from your life . clint : no , i did n't . viki : yes , you did . you practically came out and said -- you did come out and say it . clint : well , that 's not what i meant , and you know it . i did n't mean that by a long shot . viki : then what did you mean ? clint : i -- i meant what i said about you and me . viki : okay . why do n't you tell me this ? if you had not received that letter from kimberly claiming that she has absolutely zero interest in you , where would you and i be right now besides watching `` fraternity row `` in separate rooms ? clint : oh , come on , viki . viki : no . i - i mean it . would you have said those things to me ? would you have kissed me ? clint : it 's a moot point . kimberly did write the letter . viki : in other words , you 're out of options and i just happen to be here . so that 's what you meant , huh ? clint : oh , god , can we just turn on `` fraternity row `` and forget this ever happened and just start over ? viki : no . no ! no , we can not . no . enjoy the show . rex : we know what happened to gigi in that basement . jack manning trapped her in there with a room full of poison . kim : did you know stacy was there , too ? rex : what are you talking about ? kim : get me out of here and i 'll tell you . aubrey : do n't listen to her . she 's just playing on your grief . kim : oh , and you 're not ? aubrey : excuse me ? kim : oh , you 're not fooling anyone , sweetheart . it 's so obvious you 're just cozying up to rex so you can get your grubby little hands on clint 's money . rex : well , that 's impossible . kim : oh , yeah ? why is that ? rex : because i do n't have clint 's money anymore . i gave it back to him . aubrey : rex , listen to me . you ca n't trust her . she 's stacy 's best friend . kim : hey ! do n't talk about my friend like that . aubrey : let 's just go home , okay ? you 've got to let this go or it will kill you . kim : you know , rex , i wonder what will kill you first -- aubrey here or knowing that stacy is out there somewhere and you 'll never be able to confront her for what she did . rex : all right . we have a deal . noelle : have you got our bags all packed for our flight ?

's office and it 's done and so is this nightmare that cristian has been living for two years . look , here 's a copy of the confession . it is rock solid , and john will back that up . marcie : and why would john want to do that ? cristian becomes free , natalie goes back to him , and then john gets dumped . evangeline : marcie , will you please give me just a minute with hugh ? marcie : why not . my evening 's already been ruined with all the interruptions . hugh : no , no , do n't go . marcie 's right . what 's in it for john to testify for cristian ? evangeline : he 's a cop . we all have to put our personal issues aside to do what 's right . hugh : and there 's nothing personal in this for you ? evangeline : yeah , there is -- cristian vega . i 've gotten to know him pretty well and i 'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that he 's not persecuted for something that he did against his will . hugh : ok . i 'll listen to the tape . and if hesser 's confession is clear and convincing and there 's no sign of entrapment , i 'll take it to a judge . evangeline : oh , thank you so much , hugh . you will not regret it , i promise you . ok , i 'll let you people get back to whatever you people call what you 're doing here . hugh : evangeline ? ahem , just so we 're straight , we may be working together for cristian vega , but todd manning is different . i 'm nailing that bastard to the wall for what he did .

[ scene_break ] aubrey : seriously , who is this girl , and what sexy moves does she have that the rest of us do n't ? ford : well , actually , the sex part is actually non - existent for the moment . aubrey : oh , it 's good to know you have n't lost your sense of humor . ford : no , i 'm being serious . aubrey : it was so nice to see you again , ford . ford : you , too . and i hope things work out for you and the new guy . aubrey : i intend to make sure they will . wish me luck . ford : good luck . aubrey : mmm . ford : huh . all right . dorian : and what the hell was going on here ? that 's what i 'd like to know .

[ scene_break ] langston : oh , god . starr : lang , what 's wrong with you ? langston : you know what ? maybe i made a mistake . 3 months would probably accomplish the same thing . gigi : change . langston : oh . langston : stop doing that . starr : i 'm not doing anything . langston : not you . ford : check out the goods , langston . you sure you can wait 6 months ? [ thud ] gigi : okay , what is going on ? is there a problem here ? what is this ? langston : you know what ? this is your fault . gigi : my fault ? langston : yeah . you 're the one who came up with the insane `` no sex `` idea . gigi : excuse me ? langston : i 'm sorry . i overheard you and rex talking , but you said it worked , right ? please , i have to know for sure . rex : sorry , excuse me . coming through . not looking . okay , gige , i need you , now . langston : i guess it worked . gigi : rex , i 'm supervising a class . you ca n't just -- rex : i know . i 'm sorry to interrupt , but you 've got to see this . gigi : what is it ? rex : marty has the original . i took a picture of it . i just finished printing it out . do you see that ? it says that brody is the father of natalie 's baby . [ scene_break ] charlie : look , brody , um , you know , echo has had a very lonely life , and now that she 's got a son and a grandson , she really wants to get to know them better , and if she 's living here , it 's so much easier for her to do that , and i think that viki understands that . brody : it ca n't be easy , though . charlie : no , it 's not , but nobody 's got a bigger heart than viki . you know that . brody : you guys have been through so much and you 've never given up on each other . that 's the kind of marriage that i want with jessica . charlie : takes a lot of work . you know something , it 's worth it . viki : oh . brody , i 'm sorry . i did n't know you were here . charlie , could i talk to you for a moment , please , privately ? [ scene_break ] joey : well , that is a shock . i never thought you 'd take my parents ' side in this . kelly : whoa , whoa , whoa . i am on your side , which is why i think you owe it to yourself to make sure you want to spend the rest of your life with a woman you literally just met . joey : it does n't take months or years to know someone . sometimes it 's there and it 's right and you can feel it . and if you knew her , you 'd back me up . she 's -- she 's so great . she 's -- kelly : aubrey ? aubrey : hi . joey : wait a minute . you two know each other ? aubrey : yes . this is the girl i was telling you about that i met on the plane . joey : unbelievable ! aubrey : but how do you two know each other ? joey : kelly and i -- we used to be together , but we 're still best friends . aubrey : oh , my god . so -- kelly : holy cow ! this is the boyfriend you were talking about all the way from london . that is so great . joey : i 'll say . nothing i wanted more than my fiancée and my best friend to get along , and they 're already best buds . aubrey : well , technically , i 'm not your fiancée yet . joey : well , we can fix that . just say the word and i 'll put it on . kelly : i should leave the two of you alone . joey : no , no , no . kelly , stay . just really feels right having you here . and plus i need a good wingman . somebody needs to help me convince this gorgeous creature here to marry me . [ scene_break ] ford : all right , i do n't have time for this . i 've got a meeting with the chair of my department that i 'm already late for . dorian : yes , you 're late because you were pawing that blonde . ford : i was talking to somebody i used to know . dorian : used to know or used to have sex with ? [ scene_break ] rex : how horrible is this ? gigi : uh , it 's definitely horrible . it 's very , very horrible , which is why we probably should n't talk about it out here . uh , thanks for coming , everybody . class dismissed . joel : could you hold my pole for a second ? langston : okay , that 's it . i got to get out of here . starr : bye . [ scene_break ] eddie : okay , let 's go . james : find yourself another punching bag . i 'm busy . eddie : well , never turn down an opportunity to learn , son . besides , you can make the big bad dad pay for all those times he gave you a little boo - boo when mommy was n't around to kiss it and make it all better . james : do n't you ever get tired of hearing yourself talk ? eddie : never . so come on , what do you say ? i 'll start you off with a freebie , wide open , buddy boy ! give it your best shot . [ scene_break ] starr : lang , did you see this ? langston : what , kickboxing ? starr : yeah , the first class is free , and it starts tonight . langston : you gon na take it ? starr : i do n't know . i was thinking about it . i could have used some techniques to use against eli and hannah . langston : well , i really liked the class i took last year . starr : well , then maybe you should come with me and work off some of that energy . langston : good idea . where 's it at ? starr : rourke 's gym . [ scene_break ] eddie : yeah . good ! uh ! pull your skirt up , girl . come on . huh ? oh , no , you do n't . oh , no , you do not ! no , i think you missed the point here , buddy boy . you 're supposed to be making contact . boom ! like that , huh ? that 's what i 'm talking about . boom ! come on , baby . now come on . come on , do n't let up . uh - uh . uh ! ooh ! eddie : you 've got yourself a fight now , buddy boy . james : bring it . [ scene_break ] rex : i mean , i just do n't understand . where the hell did marty get this ? gigi : i -- i do n't know . rex : when todd hired me to investigate marty , he just went on about how dangerous and crazy she was . i just thought it was his usual paranoid crap , but -- now i 'm starting to wonder . gigi : what ? rex : i took the job because , hey , it 's a job . i did n't expect to actually find anything , especially nothing bad enough to show that marty ca n't be around her own grandkid , but if she paid somebody to fake test results -- gigi : that 's -- that 's really hard to imagine . rex : but that has to be what happened because you know and i know that brody is not the father of natalie 's baby . they never even slept together . [ scene_break ] brody : i told jessica i 'd be right back . she 's probably wondering what happened to me , so i 'll see you guys later . charlie : okay . yeah . oh , how was lunch with joey ? viki : oh , eventful , yes . charlie : good . well , is that what you wanted to talk to me about ? viki : yeah , later , later . right now , i need to talk to you about echo , okay ? what happened when you brought her home , please ? charlie : nothing much . i was just trying to sober her up , and she was in pretty rough shape , so i took -- brody and i took her upstairs to try to get her to bed to sleep it off , you know . viki : that 's it ? nothing else ? charlie : well , what else should there be ? [ scene_break ] marty : okay , so this is from hospital review board . ahem . `` we have reviewed your case that has been pending with the llanview -- in light of your years of distinguished service -- blah blah blah -- you will remain on staff but are placed on probation until further notice . `` well , at least i still have my job . that 's all i have . [ scene_break ] rex : marty 's supposed to help crazy people , not turn into one of them . gigi : i know . what was she going to do with this ? rex : now , you said she went off on natalie , right ? blaming her for cole going to prison . maybe this is revenge or something . but if the results are fake , how would that even work ? the only way she could hurt natalie would be if these results were real , and they ca n't be . can they ? ow ! gigi : you should really talk to your sister about this . rex : yeah , well , i do n't want to get natalie all freaked out . gigi : if marty is up to something , natalie should know about it , right ? rex : you 're right . i 'll talk to her . gigi : call me when you know something . [ scene_break ] marty : starr , um , it 's marty . i 'm leaving this message , well , because no matter what 's happened between us , one thing has n't changed . there 's a big hole in our lives without cole , and because of that , we really need to be there for each other . it would really help me to see hope right now , starr . it really would help me . i miss her more than i can say . so i 'm just praying that you 've done something about that -- the restraining order . [ scene_break ] [ cell phone chimes ] starr : oh , i just got a message from marty . langston : you gon na call her back ? starr : well , i know what she wants . she wants me to get that restraining order lifted so that she can see hope , but i do n't know whether i should do that after the fight we had about james and -- langston : oh , my god , starr , look ! starr : oh , my god ! james ! eddie : ah ! starr : oh , my -- james , are you okay ? langston , call ford . call ford , tell him to get over here now . [ scene_break ] ford : nice talking to you , your honor . but like i said , i got to go . dorian : hmm . my daughter may accept your lame excuses , but i do not . ford : your daughter does n't tolerate lame excuses , either . she 's a strong person , and i like that . i admire that . dorian : really ? and is this newfound respect for her as a result of the recent moratorium ? ford : mora -- moratorium ? dorian : mm - hmm . her moratorium on sex , as in none . yes . yes , we cramers believe in full disclosure . ford : uh - huh . i get that . dorian : my daughter believes that this will help reform you . i believe it will just push you into the arms of another woman . ford : well , you 're wrong . dorian : no , i do n't think so . i 'm never wrong about men like you . [ scene_break ] charlie : well , you think i 'm holding something back from you ? viki : are you ? charlie : look , viki , why do n't you just tell me whatever it is you expect to hear . viki : dorian came to me , and she said that she saw something between you and echo . charlie : what ? viki : she saw you two kissing . charlie : what , do you have dorian spying on us ? viki : no ! of course i 'm not . dorian took it into her own head to follow you . just tell me , is it true ? charlie : okay . yeah , it 's true . [ scene_break ] ford : i think you underestimate me . dorian : i do n't think it 's possible . ford : watch me . 'cause when it comes to langston , i can do anything , and that 's a promise . dorian : oh , really ? so while we 're throwing around promises , i 'll make you this promise : you hurt my daughter , and i 'm gon na hurt you . [ cell phone rings ] ford : langston ? langston : i 'm at rourke 's gym . your dad 's here and so is your brother . you need to get here as soon as you can , ford . it 's bad . ford : okay , i 'll be right there . [ scene_break ] charlie : okay , echo did get a little out of control . viki : a little ? charlie : no , she did n't even know what she was doing . i 'd be surprised if she even remembers it in the morning . viki : but you were not gon na tell me . charlie : no . if it did n't mean anything -- viki : oh , charlie , of course it meant something . it meant that echo thinks there 's absolutely nothing wrong with kissing someone else 's husband ! charlie : no , but she was mortified when it happened . she was scared . viki : yeah , i 'll bet she was . of what ? charlie : well , of being thrown out of here . viki : uh - huh . charlie : she does not want to lose her last chance to get close to rex and shane . viki : oh , charlie ! charlie , you do n't -- you just do n't get it , do you ? she does n't want to lose her chance to be close to you ! charlie : okay , no -- it has nothing to do with me ! i just happened to be here . look , viki , please , if you throw her out of here , you 're gon na be punishing rex and shane for something that is not their fault . viki : oh , oh , i see , i see . your very ex - girlfriend throws herself at you , and i 'm supposed to take the high road ? how would you like it if i moved clint in here and started kissing him ? charlie : viki -- this was just a one - time thing . viki : as long as echo is here , how do i know that ? charlie : because i have absolutely no interest in kissing her ever again . [ scene_break ] joey : marry me , aubrey . you know we belong together . aubrey : what about your parents ? joey : they 'll come around . the more they see us together , the more they 'll realize that it 's meant to be , so please say yes . aubrey : yes ! joey : oh , yes ! oh , this is only the happiest night of my life . aubrey : mmm . i think we need champagne , do n't you ? joey : on it . oh , i 'm so glad you were here for this . kelly : yeah . aubrey : so the guy you 're hung up on is joey ? he was your first love ? kelly : aubrey , i had no idea that he was involved with anyone else , that he even wanted to get married . i -- and now that i know that , i -- aubrey : now that you know that , what ? are you gon na try and stop us ?

noelle : viki ? what 's wrong ? viki : two words ! clint buchanan . noelle : that 's why i always say exes should be seen and not heard , and sometimes not even seen . viki : yeah , well , that 's not an option when your ex is under house arrest and lives in your own house . viki : all right , you need to do three things -- sit , breathe , and tell me what clint did this time . viki : noelle , it 's so bad ! noelle : how bad ? viki : he kissed me ! nigel : [ sighs ] clint : where 's viki ? nigel , i asked you a question . nigel : indeed , you did . would you mind repeating it ? clint : what 's going on with you ? nigel : it 's nothing . nothing at all . clint : like hell . nigel , spill . maybe i can help . nigel : i 'm afraid this is beyond even your capabilities . the situation is ... terminal . clint : oh , please ... tell me that you 're not sick . clint : sick at heart , sir . but i 'm not alone . behold . roxanne : [ gasps ] this ca n't be happening ! `` fraternity row `` was supposed to be forever ! now it 's not just gon na be there anymore ! rama : oh . it 's okay . you 'll adjust . i mean , after all , it 's just a tv show . roxanne : it is not just a tv show ! it was not just a tv show when lorraine and durwood went back in time and they filled in for paul revere . and it was not just a tv show when bro and maura water - skied over a tidal wave to get to their wedding ! and now it 's not just a tv show ! it 's family ! my mom , stella , she passed it down to me , and i passed it down to natty and rex . and you betcha that rex is passing it down to shane . [ sobbing ] neela : i do n't understand . you told me to stay away from jack . i thought you hated him . shane : yeah , i do , because of what he did to my mom . neela : so , then , why do you want me to go out with him ? shane : because you can help me finally make him pay . rex : i need to know everything -- everything stacy has been up to since she showed up alive . start talking . kim : do n't worry . i 'll talk . i 'll talk your pretty little ear off after you get me the hell out of here . rex : i 'm worki -- aubrey 's in llanview right now getting the photo that 'll prove cutter set you up to take the fall for him . kim : peachy . and as soon as she gets it , i will point you in stacy 's direction . rex : a - a - and how exactly are you gon na do that ? you said you did n't know where she was . kim : no , but i know my girl stacy , so wherever she is , i 'll find her . stacy : i have been to this place . cutter : you 're saying you 've been to the bon jour café ? stacy : i must have . cutter : no . look , it 's like i said , it just feels familiar because it 's so much like the buenos dias in llanview . this is -- i mean , it 's a lot -- stacy : cutter , i know what you said , but it 's more than that . i have been here , at the bon jour , in paris , texas . cutter : are you saying you got your memory back ? kim : how long do you think it 'll take your little blond friend to deliver the goods ? rex : if rama has the original photo , aubrey will get her hands on it . kim : well , i 'm sure her hands look much better than mine do right now . soon as i climb my way out of this pit , i 'm gon na treat myself to a nice little manicure . i 'm gon na carve my name into clint buchanan 's face for letting me rot in here . [ thudding ] rex : hey , i would n't start making plans just yet , okay ? rama could have deleted the photo . kim : are you kidding ? like she would ever give up any ammo she has on cutter . that picture is worth way more than a thousand words . rex : why would rama turn on cutter ? kim : oh , do n't let her pretty face fool you . that girl is an animal . she 'd rip your beating heart right out of your chest . roxanne : [ sobbing ] rama : oh , roxy , i 'm so sorry . i had no idea how much this tv show meant to you . but , you know , back in india , we have a saying -- `` what 's the use of crying when the birds have eaten up the whole farm ? `` roxanne : huh ? rama : what i mean is , you know , if the show is canceled , it 's canceled . what 's the point in crying ? it 's not gon na bring the show back . but you know what ? i can fix you a drink . that may hit the spot . can i fix you a delhi belly ? roxanne : no . hell , no . i got to keep my head very clear right now . and you were right . there 's no use in crying just because some empty suit thinks that `` fraternity row `` is for the birds , and i got to go fix it . rama : i think you misunderstood my analogy . roxanne : no , i think you were very clear . i got to go . rama : but you have four appointments this afternoon . roxanne : no , reschedule . i got a show to save . clint : nigel , do n't believe everything you read . nigel : with all due respect , this publication is an exceedingly reliable source of information . clint : there 's no such thing in a business that feeds on rumors . have you ever heard the phrase `` no publicity is bad publicity `` ? i 'm telling you , in about a week , they 'll be printing a retraction . nigel : i would dearly hope so , but in all my years as a reader , soap opera weekly has never gotten a story wrong . clint : well , they 've got to be wrong . `` fraternity row `` is in great shape . viki and i were just watching it about an hour ago , and there were surprises and plot twists . that show is rolling along like a -- like a freight train . nigel : i take it you 're referring to brandon and briana and their possibly forbidden love . clint : are they brother and sister or not ? is this a love that dare not speak its name ? now , if that does n't get people to tune in tomorrow , nothing will . nigel : oh , if only we could tune in ad infinitum . but i suppose all good things must come to an end . clint : stop it , nigel . now you 're getting me worried . if that show really is canceled , viki 's gon na be devastated . nigel : as will i . clint : she 's been watching since megan was on . nigel : how well i recall ms . harrison 's riveting portrayal of roxanne and ruby bright . it won her the daisy award . well , at least we 'll have all those memories to keep us warm . clint : yes . that we will . nigel : i was wondering if you might want to host a party . clint : a party ? nigel : a special sendoff to celebrate all the joy `` fraternity row `` has given us over the years . clint : that 's a good idea . viki would love that . but she would n't want me anywhere near it . nigel : why would you say that , sir ? clint : because things have changed between viki and me . nigel : since when ? clint : since ... i kissed her . viki : can you believe the nerve of that guy -- the colossal gall ? ! i ca n't even throw him out , because i foolishly promised in a court of law that i would be responsible for him . what the hell was i thinking ?

no . oh , the kiss was perfectly good . noelle : well , except that you did n't want it , so ... viki : no , i did . i did , at the time . and i enjoyed it , at the time . noelle : okay . so then that was a bad thing because ... viki : he did n't kiss me because he wanted me . he kissed me because he could n't have the other ex - wife ! he could n't have kim . rex : there 's no revenge on clint until we find stacy ... so that i can rip gigi 's face right off of her . kim : you think i 'm gon na tell you where she is so you can hurt her ? rex : i 'm not letting her walk around like that ! i 'll take her to the surgeon 's office at gunpoint if i have to ! kim : i do n't want you traumatizing her . rex : d -- what about what stacy 's done to me ? she 'll be lucky i do n't kill her ! i watched my fiancée die , okay ? ! stacy had no problem pretending that gigi had come back to life , letting cutter use that to get the money . do you know how sick that is ? ! kim : stacy has some problems . rex : stacy 's a freak ! kim : that freak is my best friend . rex : if you cared about her , why did n't you stop her from getting a new face ? kim : i tried ! it was too late . rex : w - what are you saying ? you were n't in on this from the start ? kim : no , jackass ! i thought the same thing you thought -- that stacy drowned when she fell through the ice . i did n't know she survived until she walked into the spotted pony looking exactly like gigi -- for you , rex ! and why someone would go through all that for someone like you , well , that 's something i 'll never understand -- not in a million years . aubrey : oh , thank god you 're here ! rama : aubrey ? what are you doing here ? i thought you were in brazil . aubrey : we had to come home . it 's urgent . rama : are you all right ? aubrey : i will be , but only if you 'll help me . rama : how can i help you ? aubrey : i need you to catch stacy morasco . cutter : you know you 've been here because you remember something ? what do you remember ? stacy : where they keep the ketchup . cutter : what was that ? stacy : when i needed ketchup just now , i went right behind the counter , and i knew exactly where it was . cutter : so , because you found a bottle of ketchup , you 're sure that you 've been to the bon jour café in paris , texas . stacy : oh , it 's not just the ketchup , okay ? the phone rang , and without even thinking , i picked it up , and i said , `` bonjour from the bon jour café , pride of paris , texas . how can i help you ? `` why did i do that ? how did i know to use those exact words ? cutter : 'cause you can read ? stacy : i 'm telling you , it was more than that . every fiber of my being tells me i 'm connected to this place . cutter : okay , so , how are we gon na find out if that 's true ? stacy : miss , excuse me . can i ask you something ? callie : sure , honey . want to hear the specials ? stacy : oh , no , no . i just want to know ... do i look familiar to you ? callie : oh , my god . it 's you . neela : i 'm sorry , shane . whatever is going on between you and jack , i do n't think i should get in the middle of it . shane : so you think it 's okay that jack never has to pay for what he did ? neela : no , of course people should make amends for their mistakes , but -- shane : it was n't a mistake . jack tried to lure me into that basement . my mom found out , and she went instead . she ended up getting locked in a basement . she breathed in poison till she passed out and never woke up . neela : that 's so horrible , but i was n't here when it happened . i did n't know you . i did n't know jack -- shane : so , you do n't believe me ? neela : that 's not what i said , shane . it 's just ... i do n't think i can help you . shane : you 're the only person that can help me . i need jack to admit the truth , but he would never say anything to me . he likes you , neela . you 're the one person who can get him to confess . rama : who 's catching stacymorasco ? i 've never even heard of this disease . aubrey : she 's not a disease . she 's a person , and i need you to help me find her . rama : how can i possibly help you find her when i do n't even know who she is ? aubrey : you may not , but kim andrews does . rama : kim andrews ? aubrey : right . the original aubrey wentworth . you know her -- the one you framed for murder and sent to prison . rex : so you had nothing to do with stacy 's little makeover ? kim : do you seriously think i 'd go along with something that psycho ? rex : would n't be the first time . kim : okay , so i let her talk me into some stuff that was a little ... rex : stupid , disgusting , criminal ? kim : maybe i 'm smarter than i used to be , okay ? and stacy had to know i 'd try and talk her out of getting that surgery because she did n't tell me . she did n't want me or anyone else getting in the middle of her happily - ever - after with the man of her dreams . rex : did stacy actually think that i would fall for her just because she looked like gigi ? kim : no . she thought you 'd fall for her because you 'd think she was gigi . rex : wait . her plan was to take gigi 's place . so what was supposed to happen to gigi ? stacy : you know me ? callie : sure , you 're that girl . stacy : what girl ? callie : the one from the tv show , the show , the tv show ... cutter : what show ? callie : the reality show , with the glamorous people and the hair and the problems . cutter : i think what we 've got here is a failure to communicate . stacy : i thought maybe you knew me from here , at the bon jour . stacy morasco ? callie : does n't ring a bell . but , you know , i have n't been working here that long . you should ask the owners . stacy : oh , i 'd love to . are they around ? callie : not right now , but they 're coming back for the big pie - off . noelle : here we go . viki : oh , that pie smells scrumptious . noelle : it 's a new recipe . unh - unh - unh - unh - unh ! and you are not getting a crumb until you give me all the details . i need to know exactly how clint ended up kissing you in the first place . nigel : did you say that you kissed ... clint : viki . yes , i kissed viki , and do n't look so damned happy about it . nigel : i beg your pardon . clint : do n't play innocent with me . nothing would please you more than to have kimberly andrews bumped off of my radar . nigel : it 's not my place to judge your liaisons . my only wish is that you find real contentment . but if you will allow me some curiosity , how did this kiss , uh ... come to be ? clint : it all started when viki and i sat down to watch `` fraternity row . `` noelle : so , you and clint are watching `` fraternity row , `` and ... ? viki : okay . and then we started talking about when we started watching `` fraternity row , `` which was years ago , when my daughter megan was on . clint : that girl was a spitfire -- full of passion and very strong and loyal -- so much like her mother . and that 's exactly what i said to viki . nigel : high praise . she must have been flattered . clint : i meant it . and viki knew that i meant it . so it was in that moment ... nigel : yes ? clint : ... that something passed between us , something that both of us remembered from a long , long time ago . and then one thing led to another . viki : and then all of a sudden , it 's like we were n't talking about megan anymore or `` fraternity row . `` noelle : oh , my goodness . viki : i know . i looked at clint ... and he had that look in his eyes . that 's a look i have n't seen in a lot of years . maybe i 've just tried not to see it . i -- i could n't avoid it this time . noelle : why ? viki : he would n't let me . clint : and that 's when i kissed her . viki : yeah . i mean , i was surprised . i was n't really surprised . i kissed him back , and ... oh . oh , noelle , i thought this is really what i think i 've been wanting all along , you know ? then he started talking about us and our future together , and ... noelle : [ gasps ] your future together ? oh , that 's wonderful . viki : yeah , i thought so , too . but then he had to go and bring up kim ! ow ! clint : it just came out . i just mentioned the letter that kimberly wrote saying she was through with me , and then viki completely misunderstood . nigel : do you blame her ? clint : but she could n't have been more wrong . she said that i kissed her because i was n't able to kiss somebody else , namely kimberly , and it made viki feel like some sort of consolation prize . nigel : i see . well , if you 'll permit , is there any truth to that ? shane : my mom was n't the only one who got hurt by jack . brad went to jail in his place . jack was supposed to be his friend . then he had to sign some confession because jack 's dad paid off his family . neela : i know . that 's -- that 's awful . shane : there 's no justice . you can change all of that , neela . jack trusts you . you can get him to open up . neela : but , shane , even if he did , what would that prove ? it would be his word against mine . shane : not if you get it on tape . i have a tape recorder . you could put it in your purse . neela : no , shane , i ca n't do that . i know you 're a good person , neela , someone that wants to do the right thing . so , please , help me fight for what 's right . rama : i do n't know what you heard about kim andrews , but -- aubrey : save it , rama . i know the whole story . cutter roofied some guy in kentucky , and instead of just passing out , he dropped dead , then you took a picture of cutter with the body . ring any bells ? rama : you do n't understand . aubrey : i understand that you and cutter then edited him out of the picture and stuck kim in to make it look like she was the killer . then you tipped off the police , which is why she 's now wearing a prison uniform instead of her usual g - string . rama : where did you hear all this ? aubrey : where do you think ? rama : if you 're gon na believe someone like kim andrews , then you -- aubrey : why should i believe her ? you 've never exactly kept your feelings secret . you 've never forgiven her for stealing all of your money . so if you could n't send her to jail for that , here was your chance to send her to jail for something else , right ? i 'll take that as a yes . rama : tell me , why is kim andrews so important to you ? aubrey : she 's not . but rex is . kim : i do n't know what stacy was planning to do to get gigi out of the way . she never said , but i made up my mind . i was n't gon na let anything terrible happen . rex : because you stopped her from doing whatever it was she was gon na do . kim : no . not exactly . by the time i figured out what stacy was up to , she was already on her way to llanview . rex : yeah ? when was this ? kim : the day you and gigi were supposed to get married . rex : except that never happened . because gigi ... kim : yeah . was trapped in that basement . but what you do n't know is stacy was there , too . cutter : i think you probably just had a little déja vu like i did before . you know , where you think you 've done something before or been somewhere , but you really have n't ? stacy : yeah , maybe . cutter : so , now that that 's all cleared up , we got to get us a room at the bon suites and figure out how we 're gon na pay for it . stacy : told you -- we have to find jobs . cutter : right , with no references , no connections -- stacy : stop worrying . i have a good feeling about this place . callie : did i hear you saying you 're looking for jobs ? cutter : yes . why ? callie : just so happens we 're hiring . clint : nigel , you should know better . i would never consider viki anybody 's consolation prize . nigel : nor would i . clint : but for her to say that i turned to her because i could n't have kimberly ? that 's just plain wrong . and i told her that , but she kept saying this -- asking the same question over and over again -- `` would you have kissed me if you had never received that letter ? `` nigel : i assume you told her that , of course , you would have kissed her , regardless . uh , did n't you ? clint : i told her it was n't a fair question because you can never know the answer . and kimberly did write that letter . nigel : oh , dear . clint : but that letter has no bearing on my feelings for viki , and , damn it , viki should know that . nigel : so , her tender heart would not be in any danger if she opened it to you ? clint : why would her heart be in danger ? nigel : just if , by chance , you were harboring any lingering feelings for ms . andrews . clint : nigel , what are you accusing me of ? nigel : sir [ chuckles ] i 've had the privilege of serving your family for many years , and during that time , i 've done my best to be supportive and to keep my opinions to myself . clint : and i 've told you before , that 's not necessary . nigel : well , be that as it may , victoria lord is not a buchanan . she is a friend . and on her behalf , i want you to be rigorous , to ask and answer all the tough questions , and do it with all the honesty you can muster . viki : so finally , i just flat - out asked him -- `` would you have kissed me if you had not received that letter from kimberly ? `` noelle : and what was his answer ? viki : oh , he did n't have an answer . he said , `` ca n't we just go back to watching ' fraternity row ' ? `` like nothing ever happened . do you believe that ? ! noelle : [ scoffs ] viki : `` ca n't we just go back to watching ' fraternity row ' ? `` noelle : so what did you do ? viki : i left . noelle : so , that 's it ? you and clint are history ? viki : well , i am not gon na play second fiddle to that -- what does he call her ? -- exotic dancer ! unless you have an option i have n't thought of yet . noelle : hmm . maybe this one -- give clint a reason to make kim the one who comes in second . roxanne : emergency ! [ panting ] nigel : roxanne , what is it ? roxanne : emergency ... clint : get her some water ! roxanne : no ! no water ! i need ... clint : what ? a doctor ? i 'll get you a doctor . roxanne : no , no , i do n't need a doctor . a hero -- i need a hero . and you 're it . viki : are you seriously suggesting that i fight for that man ? no ! i 'm not gon na be miss first runner - up to her . noelle : i am not suggesting that you are first runner - up to anyone . but the thing is , i do n't think was , either . viki : oh , no . he did n't have time to do that . he was much too busy telling me his sob story about the `` dear john `` letter he got from kimberly . noelle : what he was doing is what men have done since dinosaurs roamed the earth . he was sticking his big fat hairy foot in his mouth . but i do n't think clint meant it the way you took it . viki : you 're wrong . he did . of course he did . that man was a newspaperman for decades , and if anyone understands the power of a well - chosen word , it 's clint . noelle : all right , then . so if you went home right now to find him down on one knee with a few well - chosen words of apology , what would you do then ? viki : you know what ? it 's too late . i am not gon na forget this . he only wanted me because he could n't have the newer , younger model . noelle : all right , honey . have some pie ... and think about this -- if clint is dumb enough to want some cheap new model when he could have a gorgeous classic , then i say good riddance . clint : you want me to save `` fraternity row `` ? roxanne : it 's a show on tv . nigel : mr. buchanan knows what `` fraternity row `` is . he 's a devoted fan . roxanne : you are ? well , of course you are . i mean , who would n't be a fan ? all right , so you got to prove it . you got to show them who 's boss . clint : roxy , i 'm sorry , but if you think i have the power to keep a show on the air -- roxanne : of course you got the power , 'cause your papa used to own it ! clint : well , yeah , he did for a while , but he sold the rights years ago . roxanne : well , then buy them back . clint : b.e . is not in the tv - production business anymore . roxanne : wait a minute . what does `` b.e. `` stand for ? nigel : buchanan enterprises . roxanne : right . so `` fraternity row `` is an enterprise . so , what 's one more enterprise ? you 've got room for another enterprise , right ? clint : roxy , i wish it were that simple . roxanne : well , it is that simple ! either we keep on watching the show , or we 're just gon na be kissing it goodbye ! clint : yeah , i would like to keep watching the show . roxanne : well , then we got to stand up for it ! all the fans have got to unite . i mean , we got to unite . we got to throw away our differences and just be there for each other . you know , like the way lorraine and flora , they united together to beat butch . nigel : that was a crackerjack story , was n't it ? roxanne : oh , that was such a hell of a story , but there have been so many of them . i mean , it 's been like 43 years . clint : 43 years ? it 's been on that long ? roxanne : yeah , damn straight . i mean , `` fraternity row `` has been with us through thin and thinner . we got to be there for them . so , you with me ? callie : yeah , i 've been doing double shifts for a week now 'cause we lost one of our servers , and then this morning , the dishwasher does n't show up . stacy : oh , so you need a waitress and a dishwasher . callie : any experience ? stacy : give me an adam and eve on a raft , hold the axle grease ! cutter : what -- what did she just say ? callie : she just asked for poached eggs on toast , no butter . i see you know your way around a diner . stacy : yeah . i guess i do . rex : w - w - what are you saying ? that stacy was there when gigi died ? kim : i ca n't give you a minute - by - minute rundown , but here 's what i saw . i tracked stacy to an abandoned house , and when i got there , i found her . she was passed out . i got my girl to wake up for , like , a second , but then she just passed out again . so i start dragging stacy to my car , and then that 's when i saw you . rex : you saw me ? kim : your car pulled up , and then you ran inside like a bat out of hell , and i figured if gigi was in there , you 'd make sure she was okay . so i took off with stacy . rex : i - i - i do n't believe this . kim : and then i finally got her to a hospital in kentucky so i could keep a close eye on her . doctors said it did n't look good . but i did n't give up . i went and saw her every single day , rex . i begged her to open her eyes , but she just laid there , not moving a muscle in that bed . and that 's how she stayed until you came here and told me different -- you and your new girlfriend . rama : i knew it . this was all about trying to win rex 's heart . aubrey : no , rex is not ready to give his heart to anyone . i told you that . and just because we shared some random kiss does n't mean anything 's gon na come of it . rama : he kissed you ? aubrey : i kissed him , which was not a good idea . rama : why not ? aubrey : because he 's still in love with gigi . rama : but she 's dead . aubrey : dead ? so ? if he 's not ready , he 's not ready . so we 're just friends . rama : okay . but how does this kim andrews fit into this whole thing ? aubrey : because she has some vital information about this scam that gigi 's sister 's trying to pull on rex . rama : and gigi 's sister being this stacy morasco character . aubrey : right . and kim wo n't share the information unless we get her out of prison . rama : which is why you need my help . aubrey : right . you have access to that original photo which proves kim innocent . i need that picture , rama . please . [ cell phone rings ] jack : hello ? neela : jack ? jack : neela . hey . i was starting to think i was n't gon na hear from you . neela : i 've had a lot of thinking to do . jack : about me ? neela : among other things . jack : so what 's the verdict ? are we gon na go out or not ? i mean , if your brother says it 's okay . neela : he already did . jack : he did ? neela : yes . so ... when are you free ? clint : oh , roxy , i 'm so sorry . but as a businessman , i have to respect the bottom line . roxanne : and what does that mean ? clint : it means that if there were even one more nickel to be made off of `` fraternity row , `` i would be making it . but , no . no . i will not be saving an institution whose time has come . roxanne : whose time has come ? do you believe this ? clint : i 'm flattered that you think that i could save the day , but it 's just not in the cards . i 'm sorry . roxanne : you are one condescending son of a bitch . okay . you do n't want to help me ? i 'll save the show myself ! clint : what 's her problem ? nigel : a simple `` no , thank you `` would have sufficed . viki : oh , my gosh . oh -- oh , my gosh . okay , the pastry world has just been set on its ear . this is your finest hour . noelle : oh , you really think so ? viki : honey , i came in here , i did n't think i would eat for weeks . this is the most delicious thing i 've ever had in my life . noelle : oh , do you think it 's delicious enough to win the paris , texas , pie- off ? viki : hands down . noelle : i hope you 're right , 'cause moe and i are going back to take back the championship . wish me luck . viki : how would you like your own personal cheering section ? noelle : you -- you ? you want to come down to paris ? viki : why not ? noelle : oh , vik -- wait a minute . is this about pie , or is it about clint ? viki : well , if you do n't want me to come -- noelle : no , no , no ! no , no , i would love it . and , you know , gigi would really appreciate it , too . viki : gigi ? noelle : well , she was my inspiration for this pie . viki : oh . noelle : you know , viki , i have been thinking about her nonstop lately . viki : yeah , i know . i miss her so much . noelle : viki , you want to hear something weird ? i called the bon jour a minute ago , and i could have sworn i heard her voice . viki : gigi 's voice ? louie : i 'm serious , viki . the girl on the other end of the phone sounded exactly like her . callie : so , what 'd you say your name was ? stacy : stacy morasco . callie : you 're hired , stacy . callie . stacy : thanks , callie . i ca n't wait to get started . callie : what about you ? you wash dishes ? cutter : well , i guess there 's a first time for everything . stacy : he 's just kidding . he 'll be great . cutter : you do have rubber gloves , right ? callie : come in all sizes . so , you ready to get started ? stacy : uh , yeah . sooner the better . you got an order pad ? callie : now , whoa , whoa , whoa . ca n't work in your civvies . moe wants everybody in uniform . but come on back . i got you covered . jack : anytime is good for me . we could catch a movie or ... or you could -- you could come over to my house , and we could just hang out . neela : hang out ? sure . i guess i can come over to your house . jack : okay , great . just , uh , let me run it by my mom . i 'll call you right back . neela : okay . shane : thank you , neela . thank you so much . here 's the tape recorder . just stick it in your purse , and you 're ready to go . neela : i do n't think i 'll need it right away . it 's going to take jack more than one night to let his guard down . jack : take it just in case . you never know . he might be ready to get things off his chest . rama : how could you call someone like kim innocent ? she 's done terrible things . stealing from me was only one on the long list . aubrey : yes , it was , but she did not murder anyone , rama . she should n't be put away for life . rama : i owe her nothing . aubrey : but you owe me , do n't you . when vimal threw you out , i let you stay with me . rama : just for a couple of days . aubrey : it was at least a week . rama : six days , tops ! aubrey : all right , fine ! next time your husband catches you making goo - goo eyes at llanview 's best arms , do n't expect me to stick up for you ! rama : wait . aubrey : why ? are you gon na come through for me ? rex : stacy was there . she could have saved gigi , but she let her own sister die because of -- kim : stacy got hurt , too . rex : no -- [ stammering ] i - i - if she had the strength to crawl out of that basement , she could have done something . she 's as responsible for gigi 's death as jack manning is ! kim : you do n't know that ! look , neither of us know what happened that night . rex : well , we 'll find out soon enough . [ cell phone beeps ] rex : stacy 's gon na tell us . kim : look , nobody 's gon na tell anybody anything -- not until i get out of here . rex : well , start packing your bags . look what aubrey sent . kim : oh , my god . oh , my ... i 'm free . i 'm free ! rex : watch out , stacy . i 'm coming for you . neela : so , is it okay ? jack : yeah , i checked with my mom . it 's all good . so when can you get here ? neela : i can leave right away . i 'll see you soon . jack : i 'm looking forward to it . neela : me too . i think it 's about time we get to know each other a little better . rex : i do n't know how you did it , aubrey , but you 're amazing . aubrey : what happens now ? rex : uh , well , i go to the police , i show them the photo . with any luck , kim gets released . i 'll call you as soon as we 're back in llanview . aubrey : okay , travel safe . rex : yeah , and , aubrey , what you did for me , i will never be able to thank you enough . aubrey : you do n't have to thank me . rex : you 're a really great friend . i 'm lucky to have you in my life . aubrey : i 'm glad you 're in my life , too . rama : except he 's not in your life the way you want him to be . aubrey : it 's enough for now . rama : well , it will have to be , because soon , cutter will officially be off the market . aubrey : what do you mean ? rama : aubrey , are you really not thinking what 'll happen when you hand over the evidence to clear kim ? you 're sending cutter to jail in her place . callie : how 's it going ? cutter : never been better . callie : stacy , how does it fit ? stacy : like a glove . seriously , it 's like it 's made for me . callie : perfect . now all you need 's a new name tag . we 're having a hard time recycling these old ones . time 's up . kim : did n't you hear ? he 's getting me sprung . that 's what they all say . kim : no . except this time it 's true . i 'll see you soon . rex : and when i do , you 've only got one job -- finding stacy . kim : and teaching clint buchanan a lesson he 'll never forget . watch out , cowboy . here i come . clint : viki , i 'm glad you 're back . we need to talk . viki : no , i 'm going upstairs to pack . clint : to pack ? viki : mm - hmm . clint : where you going ? viki : someplace where you ca n't follow me .

natalie : yeah . viki : i mean , it 's been a year . you 've both been through a lot . natalie : well , especially cristian . viki : i just want you to be happy , ok ? i want you to take it easy , do n't put any pressure on yourselves . just enjoy getting to know each other again . natalie : thanks , mom . viki : ok . cristian : wedding anniversary , wedding anniversary -- october -- [ knock on door ] cristian : yeah ?

jessica , antonio told me you had problems sleeping ? you know , why do n't we all clear out for a while and give jessica a chance to rest ? evangeline : ok . feel better , jessica . john : yeah , you take care of yourself . antonio : honey , if you want me to stay , i will . you know that . jessica : no , it 's fine . you ca n't stay here babysitting me . antonio : all right . if you need something , you just page me , ok ? paige : the nurse on duty said you woke up screaming . jessica : i had a really bad dream . john : any of these dreams have anything to do with the murder ? antonio : crazy nightmares . john : dead guy named tico make an appearance ? antonio : she was doped up . all right , look , you -- you saw how weak she is . it was a dream . she does n't remember anything . john : ok . did you ever consider if somehow jessica did see the killer 's face , maybe she 's in danger ? todd : does she really have to go to this appointment ? blair : yes , she really has to go to this appointment . you have canceled it three times . got to go . this is it . starr : i do n't care ! ca n't we just do it after the wedding , please ? blair : no , we can not . starr : just cancel it one more time ! right now we have to go shopping and buy shoes and dresses . blair : no . got to go . starr : you want me to look like a freak , do n't you ? blair : oh , you 're being silly . i do n't want you to look like a freak , and you could never look like a freak . starr : i will ! i 'll be hideous ! todd : no , you 'll always be beautiful . you got that ? starr : no . i just wish i were dead right now . todd : hey -- you shut up and listen to your old man . you have the kind of beauty that lasts forever . do you know why ? because you 're smart , and that 's beautiful . blair : we know that this is tough . but we know that you are brave . todd : that 's right . so why do n't you just go get it over with , and by tonight at the wedding , that appointment will be nothing but a bad memory . margaret : thanks for checking on me , doctor . no , i 'm much better . oh , no , the medication is fine . there are no side effects . yes , i do have plans for christmas . i 'll be with my family . daniel : i mentioned to nora that i was going to talk to lindsay about the case in an unofficial capacity . bo : so you have doubts about our suspects in custody , too ? daniel : i want to investigate every possibility . bo : that 's what i was trying to do last night . daniel : by leaking it to the media ? do you have any idea what it 's like dealing with these people when they think you have innocent people locked up ? bo : all right , let 's just -- let 's back up here for a second . if you agree with me that maybe dorian and vickers did not kill cramer -- nora : i think we 're all saying the same thing here . bo : well , maybe , but the feeling i 'm getting right now is that we 're not all playing on the same team . viki : i 'm sorry , am i disturbing you ? cristian : no , no . no , it 's ok . i was just making a list , some things i need to get . viki : oh , i can imagine . cristian , i expect you have n't thought about this yet , but if you want your studio back , your art studio at the university , i can arrange that for you . cristian : wow . it 's been so long . i 'm -- i 'm not really sure i can draw again . viki : of course you can . anyway , you just let me know when you 're ready , ok ? cristian : thanks . viki : i also wanted to say we 're so , so grateful to have you back . and i expect this is going to be something of a transition for you . you know , you and natalie are going to need some time to adjust . cristian : we 're getting there . viki : i know , i know . cristian , you 're part of our family now . anything you 're going through , anything you need , i want you to know that we 're all here for you , ok ? cristian : thank you . viki : yeah . ok . cristian : mrs. davidson ? viki : yeah ? cristian : i really appreciate it . viki : sure . natalie : surprise . cristian : hey . what is it ? natalie : only your favorite breakfast of all time . antonio : you do n't think i know that jessica 's in danger if she saw tico 's killer ? why the hell do you think i 'm sticking around , huh ? i 'm trying to protect her , john . john : that 's -- that 's great , except you 're still one of the suspects . paige : i know you 're going to want to question jessica , but you 're going to have -- john : you know what ? it 's all right , i can do this later . paige : ok . why do n't you come back in a while and we 'll see how she 's feeling ? john : i 'll do that . we 'll continue our discussion some other time ? antonio : yeah . evangeline : tell her we 're thinking about her . antonio : i will . evangeline : ok . john : bye - bye . evangeline : bye - bye . paige : mr. vega , i 'm going to have to ask you to leave , as well . jessica does n't want to see you . starr : ok , let 's go . todd : all right . i 'll walk down with you guys . blair : ok . todd : i 'm heading down to the palace . blair : what do you mean , the palace ? i thought mrs. bigelow was planning the wedding . todd : we 're getting married tonight . i got my own arrangements to make . blair : ok . well , i guess that we 'll just have to stop by the palace before we go shopping because i want to check the menu for tonight 's dinner , actually . the button , right ? starr : yeah , and i do n't want to be alive . blair : oh , starr , starr -- starr : what ? blair : it 's going to be all right . margaret : you 're getting married tonight ? well , what about all my plans ? oh . no , you ca n't do this to me . john : hey . bo : hi . john : nice work on the news report last night . i heard you made some progress . bo : yeah , i think we can scratch r.j. gannon and rex balsom off the suspect list , and we can bump lindsay and jen rappaport up to the top of that list . and daniel has been doing some investigating on his own . you want to bring us up to speed on this unofficial meeting with lindsay ? daniel : well , there 's really not a lot to tell . but if i did find out anything , you 'd be the first to know . bo : well , we 're going to be taking a harder look at lindsay after last night . daniel : all right , look , since you 're nowhere near ready to make an arrest , i 'm still recommending no bail for david vickers and dorian lord . and the next time you want to leak something to the media , i want to be in on it . paige : well , jessica needs her rest right now . and from the looks of it , so do you . antonio : she is going to be ok , though , right ? paige : she 's stable . she 's just exhausted from fighting the infection . viki : oh , good morning . paige : hello . antonio : good morning . paige : good morning , mrs. davidson . viki : how 's my girl ? paige : oh , she 's doing much better . viki : oh . well , thank goodness for that . i got a little worried when i got the message that jessie wanted to see me . antonio : i 'll -- i 'll be outside getting some fresh air . will you let her know i 'll be ready to see her whenever she wants ? viki : well , sure . and thank you . thank you for being here for her . antonio : sure . paige : you know , before you go in , there 's something that you need to know . jessica -- she 's been having nightmares . she did n't get much sleep at all . maybe you could get her to rest . viki : i will do my best . thank you very much , doctor . paige : thank you . viki : ok . natalie : blueberry , slightly burned . cristian : but i do n't mind . natalie : you do n't mind ? i mean , that 's the way you used to like them . cristian : still do . natalie : i 'm sorry , cristian . i 'm trying too hard , are n't i ? cristian : no , natalie . natalie : we just ca n't go back to being the way we were , can we ? viki : the doctor said you 've been having nightmares , huh ? jessica : it 's nothing . viki : well , i do n't think so . [ jessica sighs ] viki : ok , sweetheart -- ahem -- you know everything 's ok now , do n't you ? you 're safe . no one can hurt you anymore , ok ? do you want to tell me your dreams ? jessica : tico was alive . i was in his room . he -- he was alive , and he said he knew that i knew who killed him , and he threatened me . he said that i had to tell . viki : do you know who killed tico ? john : look , there 's the possibility jessica might 've actually seen who pulled the plug . daniel : and you 're just telling us about this , what , now ? john : i will be speaking to her later , i 'll know more then . does that work for you , boss ? bo : sounds good . john : thank you . nora : you know , a year ago if you 'd asked me if antonio was able to kill anyone , i would 've said no . but now with everything going on with jessica -- bo : i think antonio could 've killed tico the other night if i had n't pulled him off . john : bottom line is antonio 's not going anywhere as long as jessica 's in the hospital . jessica : it 's just it 's been really hard for me to separate what i 've been dreaming and what really happened . i mean , i -- i think that i saw what happened , but i just -- i think i saw who pulled the plug , but i just -- i -- it 's all blurred . it 's just really frustrating , mom . i just -- viki : shh , shh -- hey . it 's ok , all right ? it 's ok , sweetheart . you 've been through a terrible ordeal . besides which , you have an awful lot of medication in your system , so i 'm not surprised that you ca n't remember things , honey . jessica : tico threatened me . he said that -- he said that i had to tell them who i saw murder him or he 'd kill me . viki : hey , it was a dream . you know that , darling , because he 's gone . he can not hurt you anymore . margaret : this is so wrong ! what am i going to do ? the wedding is all set for christmas ! ok . ok . you just need to calm down and breathe . remember what the doctor said . just one step at a time . if the old plan is n't going to work , i 'll just have to come up with a new one . todd : what do i know from flowers ? just buy out the whole store if you have to . i do n't care , just do it . i got to go . see you . hi there . evangeline : hey , todd . how you doing ? todd : i 'm fine . how 's llanview 's smartest lawyer doing ? evangeline : i 'm fine . i 'm actually meeting a client . todd : oh , that 's ok with me . i do n't care . um -- so what do you think about tico santi ? hmm . well , at least my niece does n't have to divorce him now . evangeline : that 's one way of looking at it . todd : who do you think killed him ? does your boyfriend have any suspects ? evangeline : why do n't you ask him ? todd : ha - ha . you would n't tell me anyway , would you ? evangeline : what do you think ? todd : uh -- no . say , did i tell you i 'm getting married tonight ? evangeline : seriously ? todd : that 's right . this is it . evangeline : well , congratulations . give my best to that beautiful bride of yours . todd : why do n't you come tonight , tell her yourself . evangeline : it 's tonight ? todd : yeah . evangeline : you want me there ? todd : i do . you got me out of prison . that 's as close to a friend as i 've got . evangeline : wow . i would love to come . what time is it ? todd : 8 : 00 ? uh -- yeah , right here at the palace . evangeline : you realize , of course , i 'm still not going to give you any information about john 's case ? todd : i suspect he 's thinking what i 'm thinking -- that kevin killed him . evangeline : you are a dog with a bone . todd : hmm , a big bone . but it makes sense , does n't it ? kevin and tico were plotting to kill the governor . tico goes into a coma . but kevin ca n't risk tico coming out of the coma and pointing a finger at him , so kevin pulls the plug himself . natalie : cris , i 'm sorry . i -- i do n't know why i keep trying to relive every memory that i ever had with you . cristian : you do n't have to relive anything . i 'm here now . this is real , natalie . it 's you and me . natalie : i know . i guess -- i guess i just keep expecting it to be like it was . i mean , i know that it ca n't be , but , you know , i just -- i want to go back , i want to erase everything so that we can be the way that we were . cristian : i wish we could , but we ca n't . natalie : i know . and i ca n't expect you to be the same man . cristian : you 've changed , too , you know . natalie : really ? how ? cristian : well , i feel like you have your guard up a lot of the time , like you 're not really sure what to say or how to act . but i blame mcbain for that . natalie : why ? cristian : he 's the reason we lost a year . he put this distance between us . natalie : no . that was tico santi . you even said so yourself . cristian : mcbain played his part . natalie : cris , he feels terrible about what happened . cristian : i do n't really give a damn how he feels , natalie , and you should n't , either . i do n't even like to see you talking to the guy . natalie : let 's -- let 's forget about john . i mean , yeah , you and i , we both have changed , and , i mean , how could we not ? it 's been -- it 's been a year . cris , i need you -- i need you to know one thing , the most important thing that you can know . i never stopped loving you . cristian : want to go back to being us ? natalie : you ok ? matthew : you really played soccer ? paige : mm - hmm . high school and college . i still kick the ball around every once in a while . bo : you ought to ask her to practice with you . you know , maybe she can show you a few moves . matthew : you could ? paige : well , i think your dad 's exaggerating a bit . but if you 'd like , yeah . matthew : sure . paige : ok , then you 're on . todd : hey , bo ? bo : hmm ? todd : keeping dorian and vickers locked up much longer ? bo : well , we 're right in the middle of lunch right now , manning . todd : ah , that 's ok , i already ate . you know what ? forget it . i do n't care . you can leave them locked up for life . matthew : is starr here ? todd : no , not yet . she will be , and you better be extra nice to her when you see her . matthew : why ? todd : you 'll see . i 'm going to wait for her in the lobby . you want to come with me ? matthew : is it ok , dad ? bo : did you finish eating ? matthew : mm - hmm . bo : yeah , ok . just stay in the lobby , though , ok ? matthew : you 're not leaving , right ? paige : no , no . i 'll still be here . bo : he really likes you . paige : well , is this a good thing ? bo : yeah . but , see , it was n't -- not that long ago that he was just determined to get nora and me back together . paige : yeah , well , all kids want to see their parents together . bo : yeah , but i did n't expect him to ever accept anyone else in my life . but he could n't resist you . matthew : hey , mom . we just had lunch with paige . nora : you did ? wow . did you have fun ? matthew : yeah . paige plays soccer . nora : is that right ? matthew : yeah , she 's going to come practice with me . nora : oh , well , that should be a lot of fun . that 's just great . were you going someplace ? matthew : yeah -- to wait for starr . nora : is it ok with your daddy ? matthew : uh - huh . nora : ok . love you . bo : hey . nora : hi . bo : how you doing ? nora : hi . bo : did you see matthew ? nora : i did . i did . bo : yeah , we just had lunch . paige : oh , he 's an incredible little boy . you must be so proud . nora : well , thank you . yeah , we -- we enjoy him . bo : yeah . you should 've seen him with paige . i mean -- you know , i think that they 're going to be great friends . nora : well , that would make me very happy . bo : so are you joining somebody for lunch ? nora : no , no , no . i 'm -- picking up . bo : at the palace ? nora : uh -- yes -- for daniel and me . yeah , it 's sort of -- um -- a private lunch , you know , sort of -- at my place . i should really go . bye . bo : bye . paige : it was good to see you . paige : oh , i am so surprised at you , mr. bo buchanan . bo : why ? paige : you are so busted . daniel : those look federal . john : f.b.i . files on some of tico 's known mob enemies . daniel : you think one of them could 've killed him ? john : got to check it out . daniel : i guess that 's easier than going after antonio vega . john : nothing 's easy about anything here , but i 'm doing the job . daniel : i see . just like when natalie vega was a suspect in the cramer case -- just doing your job . john : that 's right . natalie did n't do it . but you know that already . otherwise , you would n't have charged dorian lord , right ? daniel : you better be just as sure that vega did n't lose it and take out his brother . [ jessica sighs ] jessica : i 'm so glad that you 're here . viki : and i 'm going to stay here until you kick me out . why do n't you close your eyes and try to sleep . i 'll be right here , ok ? jessica : ok . viki : close your eyes . jessica : mom ? mom , i ca n't sleep . i 'm afraid to close my eyes . and when i 'm awake , i just ca n't help but wonder -- viki : what ? jessica : maybe -- maybe tico 's right . viki : about what ? jessica : maybe i know who murdered him , but i do n't want to remember because maybe it 's somebody that i really love . natalie : last chance . are you sure you want to eat here ? cristian : why not ? natalie : well , i used to have to drag you here kicking and screaming . cristian : well , we deserve to celebrate , do n't you think ? natalie : yeah , for a long time . cristian : hey . antonio : hey . cristian : what are you doing here ? antonio : i 'm sorry to interrupt . natalie : is jess ok ? antonio : yeah , yeah , she 's fine . she just wanted some alone time with your mom . natalie : yeah , i guess that 's better than medicine , huh ? antonio : yeah . i was at llanfair . lois said you 'd be here . listen , would you mind if i spoke to him for a few minutes ? natalie : no , no , that 's ok . i 'll get us a table . cristian : something wrong ? antonio : we need to talk about carlotta . cristian : what about her ? antonio : well , i think she needs to know you 're alive . cristian : no . antonio : look , cris , i may not be her son , but you are . somebody needs to tell her you 're alive , and i think that somebody should be you . cristian : ok , ok , but not yet . i do n't want her to see me like this . look , just give me a few more days , ok ? i want to be in one piece when i see my mother . antonio : i understand . cristian : ok . thanks . so , when you see jess , tell i said hey . antonio : yeah , yeah , i -- i will . cristian : everything ok with you two ? antonio : yeah . yeah , fine . evangeline : is cristian with you ? natalie : yeah . actually , we were just about to sit down . evangeline : hmm . natalie : listen , i need to thank you for the other night . i was such a wreck . evangeline : no , you do n't have to thank me . natalie : i do . you were very nice to me . evangeline : i just wanted to make sure that both you and cristian were ok . natalie : thank you . oh , i almost forgot . ahem . i should 've given these to john last night . evangeline : right . yeah , he mentioned that you two were together . natalie : i know , and then i ran into him again at angel square , but then he got the phone call about tico , and i just totally forgot all about the gloves . sorry . evangeline : hey . cristian : hi . evangeline : hey , cristian . how are you ? cristian : good , thanks . do you mind if i steal my wife ? i ordered a bottle of champagne . natalie : you did ? cristian : mm - hmm . evangeline : enjoy . cristian : thanks . natalie : thanks again . cristian : see you . evangeline : see you . john : a year 's a long time . nora : hey . hi there . daniel : oh , hey . nora : got any plans for lunch ? daniel : no , no . but if you 're asking , i would love to . nora : well , i happen to have a couple of bags of takeout food from the palace in my car . daniel : yeah ? nora : mm - hmm . and i thought that maybe since we do n't have any court dates this afternoon , that maybe we could go back to my place and -- eat ? daniel : well , that 's -- it sounds -- it sounds great . nora : ok . let 's go . daniel : well , hey , hey , hey , nora , i -- i mean , are you -- i mean is -- is anything wrong ? nora : no . far from it . matter of fact , i think everything 's going to be just fine . paige : you know what you 're doing . bo : what ? paige : oh , god , classic avoidance . you 've been caught , you do n't want to talk about it . bo : i do n't know what you 're talking about . paige : oh , you just slip your arm around me when nora comes up to the table . bo : yeah . yeah , i guess i did . paige : you 're trying to make your ex - wife jealous . why ? matthew : your dad says he 's marrying your mom tonight . are n't you happy ? all right , you 're not going to believe this -- my dad has a new girlfriend . it 's ok , she 's not so bad . how come you 're not saying anything ? todd : how 'd it go ? blair : oh , she wo n't talk to me , so i do n't know . todd : she 'll be ok by tonight . blair : well , i 'll tell you what i 'm going to do . i 'm going to go head over to the caterers and check on the menu . todd : ok . matthew : what 's wrong ? was your dad lying about the wedding ? is that why you 're upset ? then what is it ? todd : hey , sis . so the wedding 's all set . you coming ? viki : well , i mean , i would like to , but i -- i ca n't leave jessica alone . todd : ah , jessica . i thought she was better . viki : well , she is better . i just -- as i said , i do n't want to leave her alone . i need to be here for her , ok ? todd : well , why do n't you just pay somebody to watch her for a couple of hours ? i need you here at this wedding . this is going to be the best one ever . it 's going to be small . there 's not going to be any cramers there . viki : no cramers ? none of blair 's family 's coming ? todd : not that i know of . kelly -- she 's off god - knows - where looking for some baby , and dorian and her boyfriend are in prison , and addie 's nuts . and so if she makes it , fine , but if she does n't , it 'll be totally cramer - free . viki : well , personally , i think that 's very sad for blair . todd : oh -- yeah , i got to go , sis . all right , i hope to see you there . bye . hey . blair : todd ? todd : blair ? blair : i thought you understood . todd : oh , what , that ? oh , it 's just some stupid joke . i did n't mean that stuff . blair : really ? well , i think you did . todd : jeez . margaret : oh , yes , i reserved a cabin . i know . i was so looking forward to spending the holidays in the mountains -- well , actually so looking forward that i 'd like to bump up my reservation . i 'll need the cabin starting tonight . oh , perfect . you do n't know how happy you 've made me . and how sad you 've just made blair . [ margaret chuckles ] viki : that was todd who called to invite me to his and blair 's wedding -- tonight . jessica : why 'd they move it up ? viki : i do n't know , and i was afraid to ask . jessica : maybe it 's better not to . viki : yeah . jessica : yeah . viki : he said he was very sorry that you would n't be there . jessica : me , too . viki : but at the same time , he 's positively thrilled that none of blair 's family is coming . jessica : oh . then maybe you should go for blair 's sake . viki : oh , well , right now i want to go and find a doctor , and i want them to give you something to sleep . ok ? ok . i 'll be right back . i wo n't be long . [ next_on ] viki : the hospital board met this morning , and they have decided to let you go . blair : what are you doing following starr and i here ? answer me , margaret ! daniel : what 's wrong ?

adriana : how come you 're not at u.v . ? rex : oh , some nights i ca n't handle the scene . what 's so funny ? adriana : when i first met you , you loved it . you were totally in your element -- mr. club owner , like you 've been doing it all your life . rex : i 'm a complicated individual . adriana : yeah , i realized that a long time ago . rex : i did n't grow up like you , duchess . adriana : you mean with nuns ? rex : unless you count the time that roxy dressed up as one for halloween . she had this whole outfit , and underneath a rubber corset , six - inch heels , and a whip , and she called herself sister pain . adriana : sister pain was my biology teacher . she loved dissection . frogs spontaneously combusted when they saw her coming . it must have been fun growing up the way you did . rex : fun ? no , not exactly . adriana : well , at least you do n't have someone telling you how immature you are every time you do something your family does n't like . what 's funny about that ? rex : yeah , you 're going to hate this , but -- adriana : go on , spit it out . rex : you got a little dorian in you . not too much , just enough to make sure you get your own way . adriana : that 's a compliment , right ? rex : what do you think ? [ scene_break ] michael : you should be using the crutches i gave you , john . oh , but not cool enough for big bad john , right ? john : i can walk fine . michael : you 're still in pain . john : knock it off , will you ? michael : well , you know , you should take something to help you sleep . i got my bag in the car . john : i do n't want to sleep , and i do n't want any of your pills . michael : then what do you want , john ? john : i want to live the last year of my life over again . you got something in your bag for that ? i did n't think so .

[ scene_break ] niki : ok , one more time . i do n't know nothing about tess . besides , since i am obviously like the president of the bad alter society , why the hell would i give up something on her so you can make her disappear ? it 's like viki made me disappear . jessica : niki , just -- niki : you know what ? forget it . you and your boyfriends and your daddy , you got me locked up here in this room . cool . that gives me squatter 's rights , ok , to this room and that bed . so you get up , get out , and get over yourself . [ scene_break ] natalie : did the air help ? clint : you did a damn fool thing . getting yourself in the middle of a prison riot sounds like -- well , it sounds like something your mom might do . natalie , you are your mother 's daughter , and that 's not a bad thing to be . natalie : i 'm sorry , dad . believe me , i -- i do n't ever want to have myself in a situation like that again . clint : no , i 'd venture to say you 've had your fair share of danger . now , what about your other situation ? natalie : hmm . john and cristian ? clint : yeah , both of them seem like they would do anything to make sure that you 're ok , and i 'm sure that both of them would do anything to get you back , so , question is , what are you going to do ? natalie : i wish i knew , dad . [ scene_break ] adriana : i ca n't believe it . rex : look , the only one who knew was john mc bain . he found out the whole deal when cristian went prison . adriana : why would n't he tell us ? i mean , we had a memorial for cristian . he broke carlotta 's heart , and poor natalie . rex : from what natalie said , the guy thought that if he was going to be in prison for life he was better off dead . in your minds , at least . that way he died a hero , instead of some coward who pulled the plug on a guy in a coma . adriana : so cristian really killed my brother ? rex : yeah , i guess so . i 'm sorry , adriana . adriana : and john mc bain knew this whole time ? how could he keep that from us ? unless he did it because -- rex : well , i 'll be damned ! look who it is . adriana : just heard about cristian . john : i do n't know what to say exactly . excuse me . adriana : did you do it to keep natalie away from my cousin ?

[ scene_break ] john : no , that was n't the reason . if you 're asking me why i did what i did , i do n't have a good answer . i guess we all make mistakes . anything more and i think you should talk to cris first . he and natalie are going to need you two , and i know you 'll be there for them . have a good evening . michael : john , wait up . adriana : what was that all about ? rex : i think it was about as close to an apology as mc bain 's ever going to get . [ scene_break ] evangeline : thanks . i 'll just have some coffee . bartender : kind of late to be working so long . evangeline : yeah , well , i 've been ignoring things in my own life too long , and it 's time to start catching up . bartender : i 'll keep the caffeine coming . evangeline : thanks .

[ scene_break ] rex : good work . adriana : hmm ? rex : telling mc bain off like that . i warned natty about him . i never imagined that he 'd keep her husband from her just to get some . adriana : you really think that 's what he was doing ? rex : not consciously . i 'm sure he justified it to himself . he 's a cop . adriana : you love cops . rex : i like bo . he 's one guy . cops in general are a breed that i try to stay away from -- not that i 'm going around breaking laws or anything like that , you know , not anymore . adriana : i know , i know . you do n't have to explain . poor natalie . rex : yeah , she 's a wreck . she deserves a hell of a lot more than those two . but she 'll end up on top . she 's got more guts in her little finger than -- what ? adriana : cristian is my cousin , and he 's a really good person . rex : who snuffed your brother . adriana : i do n't know what happened to him to make him do those things . but i know cristian 's heart , and he would never hurt anyone unless -- i do n't know why he killed tico . my brother did a lot of awful things , but he was n't hopeless . i mean , he treated me well . i loved having a big brother . rex : evil crime lord that he was . sorry , sorry . adriana : he was n't a good man . i know that . but that does n't mean that i did n't love him . rex : you 're a lot more forgiving than i could ever be . adriana : it 's the nuns . rex : hey , look , this is natalie and cristian 's deal . there 's no point of us going at it . we do n't know all the facts . so , are we cool ? you 're not mad at me ? adriana : i like when you speak your mind , even when you 're wrong . you treat me like a real person . rex : as opposed to what ? adriana : it 's late . i should get home . [ scene_break ] niki : let me ask you something . what does that feel like having a whole other person inside you , huh ? jessica : oh , you already know , because i 'm sure my mom is fighting like crazy right now to get out . niki : nope . do n't feel a thing . she 's gone . jessica : yeah , you 're lying . i know my mother . i know that she 's fighting with everything that she 's got . she always managed to make it out before . this time is not going to be any different . niki : you know what ? she was lucky so far . so what ? jessica : i 'm not going to lose my mother . niki : yeah , well , viki should have thought of that before she got me out , because you know what ? mommy is history ! she 's gone . jessica : do n't make any long - term plans . you 're not going anywhere , niki , and you 're not going to get past me either . niki : i just want to get some shuteye . get out . oh , hang on a sec . that kid you 're going to have -- what if that kid belongs to tess and the little old winemaker ? you really going to want to raise a kid you do n't even remember making ? and think about this -- think about your mother and you and what happened to you . same thing is going to happen to the kid , you know . kid 's going to be a little carbon copy of you . ooh -- no . i should say carbon copies .

[ scene_break ] adriana : what do you mean , blair 's sick ? what 's wrong with her ? michael : well , you know , we 're not exactly sure what 's wrong with blair yet . dorian : the most important thing is they have -- they have to rule out the possible reoccurrence of her brain tumor . adriana : wha -- oh , my god ! hey , i just heard . how are you feeling ? blair : well , i did n't want anybody to know until we knew something for sure . i 'm sure it 's nothing , sweetie , you know ? adriana : well , you need support . and whatever the problem is , i -- if there 's anything you need -- blair : you are doing it . you 're doing it . adriana : ok . blair : and it 's nothing , ok ? you know , if something does happen to occur , i 'll let you know . michael : well , i -- i really hate to break this up , but i am the doctor , and i do have to examine my patient , so if you could give us a moment alone -- adriana : yes . dorian : of course . adriana ? adriana : hmm . dorian : thank you very much for putting our differences aside . adriana : do starr and jack know ? dorian : no , because we do n't even know yet . so of course , they do n't know . but if something were to happen to blair , todd will not be able to manage those children all by himself . we 're going to have to help . so i suggest we have a cup of coffee together and talk about it . adriana : i 'm sorry . i 'll do what i can to help blair , but that 's it . dorian : huh . blair : i ca n't be sick , michael . my family needs me . of course , there are other problems , all having to do with spencer . michael : yeah . you know , if it was just me and marcie , i 'm pretty sure we could handle it , you know ? but we have tommy now . and there 's going to come a day when tommy asks why he does n't have a grandfather . and i 'm going to have to explain to him why the man who killed his grandfather is still walking around free . blair : no , that 's not going to happen . spencer is never going to hurt another family again .

[ scene_break ] matthew : you should be married . bo : ahem -- where did that come from ? matthew : what ? you do n't want to get married again ? bo : no , i think -- what i think we have to do is cut down on the amount of time you spend with your grandpa asa . matthew : grandpa just wants you to be happy . so do i . bo : what , i 'm not happy ? matthew : yeah . kind of . but you 'd be a lot happier if you were married . bo : oh . and that 'd do the trick , huh ? matthew : look , you smile so much more when you 're with paige , and so does she . so have you ever thought about marrying paige ? [ scene_break ] jessica : mmm . reg : what are you looking for ? jessica : the cops . [ jessica chuckles ] i 'm about one drunk and disorderly away from a visit to statesville . so i got an idea . i know a bar just around the corner that has tons of people at it that like to party like it 's 1999 . the more , the merrier , right ? so let 's go . man : we could have a merry -- pretty merry time all by ourselves . reg : yeah . let 's -- let 's get this party started right here and right now . [ scene_break ] adriana : look , let 's not get ahead of ourselves . we ca n't start talking about helping raise blair 's kids till we even know what 's wrong with her . dorian : there 's nothing wrong with a family contingency plan . adriana : we 're not a team , dorian . dorian : it does n't have to be this way , adriana . adriana : well , i do n't see it changing anytime soon , if ever . dorian : oh . michael : excuse me . ladies , is there a problem ? dorian : hmm . michael : nurse , i need you to draw enough blood for a full battery . you can talk to dr. pembrook . he 'll give you the rest of the details . nurse : ok , doctor . dorian : excuse me . michael : so -- adriana : do n't -- do n't -- do n't ask . michael : ok . um -- whatever it is , i hope it gets better . adriana : thank you .

[ scene_break ] vincent : so you 're the one that 's tripping off the fact that we kissed ? natalie : look , vincent , the man i love is lying there in that bed with most of his body burned . he just had his second skin - graft surgery today . vincent : natty , you thought he was dead when all of this happened . natalie : i know . vincent : then why are you beating yourself up about it ? natalie : because that kiss was a big deal to me . you know what ? you 're right . i was wrecked . i was n't eating . i was seeing things that were n't there , but -- vincent : like john . natalie : yes , yes . and i was just so desperate . i mean , my heart was racing 24/7 . it felt like i was going to have a heart attack every second of every day . vincent : i know , natalie . all right ? remember , i was there . natalie : i was so messed up that i actually -- i -- the only person i could turn to was a complete stranger . vincent : uh - huh . so you 're saying any old stray cat would have done ? natalie : vincent , no . ok ? that 's -- that 's not what i 'm saying . i mean , you -- you were there for me , you listened to me , you supported me , and you told me the truth when it mattered the most -- that john was alive , and you have no idea how grateful i am for that -- for everything . vincent : you 're welcome . natalie : it 's just tomorrow , i have to tell john what happened at spencer 's trial . vincent : yeah . it 's going to be heavy . natalie : i 'm just afraid that it 's -- it 's going to set back his recovery somehow . and that 's a risk i 'm just going to have to take because -- well , john needs to know the truth . [ scene_break ] spencer : hell , what are you doing , todd ? you think do n't know it 's you ? i 'm an idiot ? i recognize your voice . what -- what 'd you do to them ? that good -- a couple more homicides on your record ? everything 's going to point to you , manning . everything 's going to point to you -- [ scene_break ] natalie : i do n't want to do anything that 's going to jeopardize his recovery . vincent : i do n't see how any of this will make a difference . but you know what ? it 's your call . and i respect your decision . natalie : thank you . vincent : but that does n't mean i 'm going to stop caring about you , natalie . and if you need anything -- and i mean anything -- natalie : ok , i got it . you know , i ' got to -- i got to go call michael and let him know -- um -- vincent : hey , do it . do your thing . [ scene_break ] starr : i do n't hate my dad . how could you say something like that ? viki : honey , listen to yourself . listen to what you 're saying . and you know something ? your father thinks that , too . he thinks you hate him . you know , darling , i know how really difficult and tough your father has been on the boys that you like . so i can only imagine how you must feel about what happened with marty saybrooke . starr : he told you about everything ? viki : he 's my brother , darling . he has to talk to somebody . starr : i -- i always knew what he had done . but it was something that happened a really long time ago . that 's the way i always looked at it , that it was just some anonymous name , but it 's not that anymore . it 's an actual person . i ca n't believe that my dad could do something like that , that he would even be capable of that . and i hate myself for still loving him . [ scene_break ] todd : jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way oh , what fun that it will be to make spencer truman pay hey ! merry christmas , everybody . ha - ha - ha ! oh , merry christmas , spencer . i love to drive . spencer : i always knew you were full of it , manning . but i never thought you 'd be full of the christmas spirit . where are we going ? where are you taking me ? todd : well , do n't you worry . wingdale is still on the itinerary . just got to make a little pit stop first . but you 're going to go back to the nut house , that 's for sure . just when and in how many pieces , i 'm not sure . [ scene_break ] vincent : hey , john . john : hey . i 'm sorry about hugh . vincent : hey , look at you . at least you 're doing good , man . you know , do you need anything ? john : you got the verdict in the truman case ? vincent : i 'm sorry , man , i have n't been keeping up . nurse : my condolences . and you , i 'll see later . john : hey . we need to talk -- about natalie . [ scene_break ] rex : ok . ok . you got me . i was out of printer paper . i just did n't budget for it this month . dorian : uh - huh . it looked as if you were stealing records from the file storage room . and it looked as if it was a team effort . it 's a good thing no one saw you . adriana : dorian -- rex : do not give this gift back . we can check the price tag later . dorian : hmm ? adriana : thank you for telling me about blair . dorian : you 're welcome . rex : come on . [ scene_break ] nurse : i 'm just saying it might be a possibility . is there any way you could be pregnant ? blair : no . nurse : you do n't sound so sure . headaches and nausea can certainly be symptoms of pregnancy . blair : well , now that you mention , i guess there could be a possibility . i could be pregnant . [ scene_break ] reg : my car 's right around the corner . jessica : i just want to go to the bar for a couple more drinks . man : only if you give me a little preview of what 's to come . antonio : all right , let 's try and be cool , because we do n't know who or what we 're dealing with . jessica : come on , you guys , you 're blowing it . nash : that clear things up ? man : you 're really playing this to the hilt , are n't you ? i like that . jessica : let me go ! nash : the negotiation thing ? antonio : out the door , nash . reg : i do n't think she really means it . antonio : i think she does ! nash : let go of her . man : come on , start pitching , blondie . nash : put down the board . antonio : you know , but you might not want to mess with him . he 's not quite right in the mind . will -- come on . man : yeah , well , we 'll take our chances , so bring it on . [ scene_break ] bo : ahem . let me be honest with you , ok ? yes , i have thought about marrying paige . it 's just that the timing was never really right . and that does n't mean that it could never happen . that 's not what i 'm saying . what i am saying , though -- there you go -- is that the timing really is n't right now , either . matthew : well , what if you 're wrong ? what if this is the perfect time , especially for paige ? bo : ok , i get it . you 're worried about her . matthew : i asked her if she wanted to come to dinner tonight , and she said she was n't feeling good . she 's been like this for a long time . bo : well , yeah . yeah , because , you know , you know how hard it is to try to get over losing somebody that you love so much . you know , that takes time . matthew : but she needs something to make her feel good . we have to do something . we ca n't just give up on her . [ scene_break ] antonio : you ok ? nash ? nash : oh -- fighting guys with boards sucks , huh ? jessica : well , i do n't know about you guys , but i could really use a drink .

[ scene_break ] dorian : where is she going ? blair : did you find out anything about jack ? dorian : do n't answer my question with a question . where 's she going ? she could n't have gotten done that fast . blair : she 's just dropping off my blood sample . they 're going to do a rush job on it . but it looks like i might not have to have a c.a.t . scan , after all . dorian : do n't tell me you 're taking your diagnosis from an r.n . ? blair : i -- ahem -- may not have a brain tumor , after all -- i think i 'm pregnant . [ scene_break ] bo : we have to get one thing straight . nobody is giving up on anybody , especially paige . we just have to figure out the best way that we can help her . matthew : and if you propose to her , that would make her so happy . bo : i know , but -- yeah , but just for a little while . and then all of a sudden , she 'd start getting pulled right back in the other direction by all the grief that she 's feeling about losing hugh . you see ? i mean , that 's just too much of a -- i do n't know -- an emotional roller coaster for anybody to handle . we might end up even pushing her further away . matthew : so what do you suppose we do , dad ? bo : i say we do exactly what you did . we invite her to dinner , and we keep inviting her to dinner . and we -- we remind her that she always has a place here , with people that -- that care about her and that want to help . we just have to , you know , take little steps . matthew : so , we just keep asking her ? bo : we just keep asking her . deal ? matthew : deal . bo : you 're the best . [ scene_break ] antonio : thanks , fellas . jessica : oh , i do n't know how much longer i could have held them off . antonio : well , i 'm glad we found you when we did . nash : yeah , because the look in their eyes was n't one of good will . jessica : oh -- yeah , well , when they looked at me , they did n't really see me , they saw tess . antonio : well , but you did great . jessica : um -- you know how we said that we were n't going to tell bree everything about tess and show her all -- nash : i think we can forget about this event . and we 'll forget about these photos , too . antonio : hey , hey -- [ splash ] you know , we could have used that as evidence , einstein . nash : huh .

[ scene_break ] blair : well , do n't look so shocked . headaches , nausea , dizziness -- i mean , sounds like pregnancy to me . todd and i are going to have a baby . dorian : blair , are you sure you 're pregnant ? blair : well , we wo n't know until the tests come back , but -- dorian : how can you be certain it 's todd 's baby ? how do you know the child you 're carrying is n't spencer truman 's ? [ next_on ] blair : if i am pregnant with spencer 's baby , i 'll lose todd forever . rex : there 's something you need to know about where tommy came from . bo : i 'm not so sure that truman was rescued by a friend . todd : tell me where my son is if you want to live .

' taino ' antonio knows this means that jessica is in danger and he and nash swing into action . they track her to the shed where reg and his friend have let her stall enough . nash and antonio enter the building and knock the men out . reg is n't completely out and so when antonio 's back is turned , he makes a swing at antonio 's head with a two by four . jessica is there and whacks the psycho before he can harm even a hair on antonio 's head . `` i do n't know about the both of you , but i really need a drink ! `` she says . vincent comes to the hospital . he notices natalie ring is gone , and thinks this has to do with the kiss they shared . she is n't worried about that . she leaves the area and john calls to vincent . `` i know that you have feeling for natalie , but i am back now . `` vincent leaves the room knowing that he might not be able to stay away from natalie . the van transporting spencer comes to a sudden stop . there must be something wrong with the road the guards check things out and try to start driving again . the window on the passenger side breaks and a masked man pushes a gun in the window at the guards ordering them to keep still . he overpowers them and drags them out of the van one by one and drops them face down and motionless on the ground . spencer goes back to the van now and drags the cuffed truman out of the vehicle and to his knees beside the two guards . this is when spencer recognizes the masked man 's voice . at this point , the masked man really does n't care . `` jingle bells ! jingle bells ! jingle all the way ! oh what it will be to make spencer truman pay ! `` todd is driving fast , with his head out the window , feeling the wind in his hair and singing the carol with his own brand of christmas spirit blended in . he is happy and it shows by the maniacal smile on his face . spencer struggles to get the hell out of the back seat , but todd has him in there good . `` i do n't hear you talking about you ' mommy ' anymore . `` all spencer does in response is chuckle like the sane spencer todd knows . `` where are we going ? `` spencer asks . `` we are going to the scene of the crime ``

[ scene_break ] starr : i do n't want you and mom to fight . dorian : i 'm very sorry if it upset you . how are you doing ? starr : i ran into aunt viki at the hospital , and she let me hold chloe , which kind of made me feel really bad . dorian : how sensitive of viki . starr : she meant to do it as a nice thing , and i understand that . but holding that baby just -- it made me think of those nine months when i had everything planned out in my head . and then , aunt dorian , i never expected my blood to kill my own baby or that marcie would never be able to hold her . dorian : i will not let you blame yourself for what happened . your baby died because of dr. joplin 's incompetence , her -- and she 's going to pay for it . starr : making her pay will not bring hope back . aunt dorian , who are you calling ? who are you calling ? dorian : the hospital , dear . hello , this is dr. dorian lord . i want to speak to somebody about dr. leah joplin . because i want to sue her for medical malpractice , that 's why . of course i can . oh . i did n't know . starr : what ? dorian : dr. joplin just committed suicide . [ scene_break ] john : you know we do n't have to do this now . blair : yeah , john , i think we do . i know you probably think i put dorian up to it , right ? that i did n't have the guts to ask you to choose between me and marty , so dorian did my dirty work , right ? john : you know , i do n't think you operate that way . blair : how do i operate ? john : you got something to say , you 're pretty good at saying it yourself . blair : not always . sometimes i actually hold back . and this time when i found out marty was alive , i thought , you know , i 'm just going to sit back and let things unfold . i 'm sorry , it just does n't -- it 's not a great fit for me . john : sitting back or letting things unfold ? blair : either one . because , john , the truth is i have worried whether marty was going to come in between us . [ scene_break ] cole : i know things are messed up . i mean , the baby -- look , it really hurts but i 'm dealing . and yeah , you 're not the same mom that i remember , but you 're here . so , i do n't want to be pushy or anything , but if there 's anything i can do to help -- marty : yeah , actually there is . do you have a laptop ? [ scene_break ] téa : todd manning held marty saybrooke captive for nearly three months . family and friends of saybrooke believed she was deceased . but here 's the bizarre thing . thanks . you 're quoted as saying you 're in love with marty saybrooke , the woman you raped . were you misquoted ? i always knew she was in your head . that 's why you could never love anyone else . why you were always so detached . it was rape , todd . you understood that back then . todd : i did n't need you shoving it down my throat . téa : it 's called speaking the truth . besides , if memory serves , you responded by belting me in my face . todd : and you hit me with a shovel . so what are you doing here ? you came here to tell me that i got what i deserved , is that it ? téa : if you think that i 'm getting my kicks watching you behind bars , you 're wrong . i came back to help you . todd : you want to be my attorney ? téa : when i was in law school , i swore i 'd only do cases i was passionate about . i was crazy about you once . if i were you , that 's the kind of person i 'd want representing me . and if there 's anyone who can go head to head with nora hanen , it 's me . todd : and you think that you understand why i did all this ? téa : let 's get one thing straight , hmm ? you and i both know that you are all about making other people 's lives a living hell . and if you did what they say you did , i think it 's despicable . but guilty or innocent , you 're entitled to a defense . todd : and what 's in it for you ? [ scene_break ] starr : why would dr. joplin do that ? why would she kill herself ? dorian : guilt . she knew her career was over -- rightfully so . starr : i do n't think that she was a bad person , though . dorian : she thought so . starr : okay , babies are supposed to bring happiness . god , i wish i could rewind it all . i wish i could just change everything . dorian : well unfortunately , none of us can go backwards . starr : it 's me , okay ? i 'm the problem . dorian : no -- starr : it 's obvious -- dorian : i am not going to let you blame yourself -- starr : i could have changed my mind , i could have had cole and i raise the baby and not brought marcie into this . dorian : you did what you thought was best for the baby . starr : cole and my dad went crazy because of my decision , okay ? my mom and i told dr. joplin not to let them near her , okay ? to keep them out of the loop . maybe she would 've tested cole 's blood . maybe hope would still be alive , and maybe my dad would n't have turned into a disgusting monster . [ scene_break ] todd : what 's going on ? your career not going so hot ? téa : you know , i 've been working internationally . i need to get back on people 's radar . todd : yeah , where have you been ? because the last time i saw you on the island , you were really in heat with my pilot . téa : yeah , that took a bit of a nose dive . last time i saw you , you were paddling off on a raft in the middle of the ocean . just had to get back to blair . todd : that was a bad decision . téa : why 'd you marry her ? todd : same reason i married you , to get custody of my kid . téa : a loveless marriage , poor blair . todd : no , no . she 's got nothing to complain about . she got the delgado deal . téa : what 's that ? todd : five million dollars to keep your mouth shut . téa : she should 've held out for more , what with inflation . todd : she is n't worth more . téa : you risked your life because you were so in love with her . what happened ? todd : john mcbain . [ scene_break ] john : the situation with marty is complicated . blair : hey , hey . you do n't owe me an explanation , okay ? look , the way it ended with you and marty , it was n't fair . it was n't . i do n't want to get heavy about this , i really do n't . so whatever this is , you and me , i 'm ending it . [ scene_break ] viki : i know that you 're talking about charlie . and , honey , it 's a topic that i think we should leave alone . natalie : mom , come on . i mean , i saw the way you were looking at him on thanksgiving . viki : natalie , please , i beg you , do n't go there now . natalie : mom , i know that charlie lied to you , but he saved my life and jared 's . that 's got to be worth something , right ? viki : darling , it 's worth everything in the world . my god , i almost lost you . and i 'm so sorry i was n't there . natalie : okay , and i forgive you . you know , like you forgave me . see how that works ? look mom , good people , they do bad things , you know ? because sometimes they just get caught up in the feeling of what they think is right . but that does n't erase the love that you have for them . i mean , you 're the one who taught me that . viki : darling , i really appreciate what you 're doing , okay ? it 's not necessary . i forgave charlie so long ago . natalie : well then , what 's the problem ? viki : the problem is that it would take the broadway limited to carry the baggage that comes along with me . natalie : so ? viki : darling , there are two small children living in this house with us now and i am responsible for them . and i need to be available for jessica and her doctors . and frankly , i am still reeling from what todd has done , and your aunt tina ? i told her i want nothing more to do with her ever again . my god , she risked your life for her own personal gain , you know ? i 'm just not a great date . natalie : mom , you do n't have to take all of this on . viki : do n't i ? natalie : okay , fine . all right , even if you do , should n't it be up to charlie whether he wants to take this on ? viki : darling , that 's the whole point . i am trying to be fair to charlie . natalie : no , you 're not . you 're just being a big chicken . viki : excuse me ? natalie : when was the last time you were happy ? viki : when i was with charlie . okay ? when i was with charlie . [ scene_break ] charlie : so , dorian lord . that 's -- she 's really , she 's some lady . moe : that she is . why are you all acting so strange about it ? charlie : oh , no . nothing at all , really . no , congratulations . yeah . woo , steering clear of that one . jared : yeah , when you do n't have something nice to say -- charlie : exactly . [ scene_break ] dorian : i can not bear to see you beat yourself up like this . starr : i 'm just very upset about dr. joplin , okay ? dorian : her suicide was the act of a woman who could n't bear to live with the mistake that she had made . starr : before i went to dr. joplin 's office , i went to visit my dad and i let him have it . dorian : good for you . starr : i know that he 's done bad things -- and trust me , i hate him for that . but it 's like he 's two totally different people . one day he 's evil , and then the next day he 's the guy who 's buying me my favorite ice cream , who 's checking my homework . i just do n't know what to do with all of that good stuff . dorian : you do n't let it distort the real picture . you just said that your father was a disgusting monster . starr : you 're right . when i looked into his eyes , i just felt like i was looking at a stranger . [ scene_break ] cole : just entering my password so you can go on the internet . marty : okay . cole : my god . marty : what 's wrong ? cole : dr. joplin , she committed suicide . marty : that 's awful . how did you know her ? cole : she delivered our baby . this is going to kill starr . marty : well , you need to be with her . i 'm fine , go . cole : all right , go for it . you 're going to find out everything i already know . you 're an awesome person . marty : cole . take care , okay ? [ scene_break ] téa : so , the problem with you and blair is another man ? todd : no , it 's more than that . téa : yeah , i figured . todd : i have hurt a lot of people . téa : and this is something new for you ? todd : i always tell myself that i 'm protecting my family , because that 's what i do . but it 's just what i mean to do . i somehow manage to screw it up every time . and that 's how it is with blair . i get all mixed up in my head and she expects me to act out and i deliver for her . téa : act out ? what are you , in therapy ? i 'm just asking . todd : but i 'm a different man with marty . for marty . what 's that look for ? téa : no , i just -- i 've never seen you or heard you talk that way before . you really love marty saybrooke . so everything you did , you did for love . i just think it could be useful as a defense . todd : no . téa : you have to let me do my job , todd . todd : no , you 're not getting a job , téa . i do n't want you defending me . [ scene_break ] john : what are you saying ? blair : come on , it 's nobody 's fault , john . we were just two lonely people that came together for a little comfort . and we agreed that we were n't going to get serious , and we did n't , so -- we can just -- we 'll part as friends . john : is that what you really want ? [ scene_break ] jared : carlotta 's famous tostada salad , dressing on the side . natalie : gracias . jared : oh , hello there . i told my dad you were cute . natalie : oh . you spoke to charlie ? jared : yes , at the diner -- or , excuse me , the cafe . viki : would you two mind babysitting for just a little while ? i have something i need to take care of . natalie : sure . natalie : so you talked to your dad ? jared : yep , you talked to your mom ? natalie : yep . now it 's up to them . jared : okay . [ scene_break ] charlie : so what 's happening with the bon jour ? moe : well , a buddy of mine 's going to manage it for me . with what dorian 's paying me , i can afford it . charlie : that 's got to feel pretty good . moe : yeah , and if noelle here gets a job , we 'll be able to put our feet up now and then . charlie : yeah , you know , carlotta , i may be a little prejudiced here , but noelle is the second best waitress i have ever known . moe : ah - ah - ah . charlie : mm ? moe : viki fraternized with the customers . noelle is the best there is . carlotta : okay , okay , look , guys . you do n't need to sell her to me . besides , i need a good wait staff . so , you 're hired . noelle : oh , thank you ! oh , thank you , thank you . moe : now we 're talking ! i 've got to get over to dorian 's and tell her to clear out of that kitchen . carlotta : so , ah , let 's get you a hairnet . noelle : oh , it was roxy . [ scene_break ] starr : dr. joplin said that she had a son . could you imagine how awful this is for him right now ? dorian : you 're just going to have to keep your spirits up . starr : why ? dorian : because it 's almost christmas and you 've got two little baby bros who are very excited about it . [ doorbell chimes ] dorian : oh . hilda ! hil -- [ doorbell chimes ] dorian : never mind , i 'm sorry . i 'm shouting . i 'll go get it . dorian : cole , come on in . starr ! cole : hi . did you hear about dr. joplin ? starr : yes , we just did . cole : i am so sorry . starr : thank you . cole : i do n't get it . what would make someone do something like that ? dorian : perhaps knowing that they were solely responsible for a family 's tragic loss ? cole : how does that have anything to do with her ? starr : aunt dorian , he does n't know . cole : know what ? dorian : we went to see dr. joplin this morning and she explained to us the reason why the baby died . cole : and ? dorian : the baby had undiagnosed rh disease . cole : okay , which means what ? starr : it means that you and i are -- are incompatible . [ scene_break ] blair : you know what ? do n't get me wrong . it 's been so much fun for me . i mean , it really has . i mean , i feel like -- i do n't know , like i 've recharged my batteries and -- i do n't know , i got you out of a black shirt and into a hawaiian shirt even though it was only for 10 minutes . i mean , that was an accomplishment , so -- well , no regrets , okay ? except we did n't get to go on a real date , but that 's -- that 's okay . john : you know , that was a whole lot of words but you still did n't answer my question . do you want to walk away from this ? because i sure as hell do n't . [ scene_break ] [ metronome ticking slowly ] [ scene_break ] todd : i guess you can go now . téa : you think you can find a better lawyer than me ? todd : no . téa : so , what is it , the money ? listen , i know your assets are frozen . todd : no , i can afford you . i can afford five more like you . téa : so then what 's the problem , todd ? todd : the problem is that i do n't want you defending me because what i did was indefensible . every accusation , i did it . i took my last shot at redeeming myself and i blew it . it was the one time in my life when i -- i felt like i could be a better man . and what 's the big deal about jail if you 're already living in hell ? [ scene_break ] starr : cole , our blood types were the problem . it turns out that you are rh positive and i 'm rh negative . the baby was positive , so my blood created these antibodies to attack our baby 's blood . does that make any sense to you ? cole : yeah , the baby never had a chance . starr : no , i 'm not saying that . hope probably would have made it if dr. joplin would have given me the shots to save her , but because rh disease does n't usually happen with a first baby , she was n't even looking for it . [ scene_break ] natalie : look at her . she amazes me . i mean , look at how she came into this world , just her and tess all alone in that cottage , no medical care . jared : yeah , well , she was meant to be here . [ scene_break ] starr : bad blood . cole : what ? starr : that 's usually what they say when two people hate each other , or more with us , two families . they say that there 's bad blood between them . i 'm surprised you even want to be in the same room as me right now . cole : you 're not your father and you never will be . starr : well , he 's the one who started all this bad blood . cole : yeah , but when you and i got together , i thought we were going to change all that . we were good together . starr : for a while . i guess you ca n't fight bad blood . cole : come on , starr , it just happened , all right ? sometimes bad things happen for no reason . starr : then why do people go around doing bad things to one another ? [ scene_break ] téa : todd manning is giving up ? todd : i 've lost everything that matters to me . my children and marty . téa : do you understand the gravity of the situation here , todd ? for starters , there 's your reputation which sucks to begin with . the people of this town are ready to have you publicly stoned to death . todd : i 'm ready when they are . téa : who am i talking to ? todd : a bad man . someone who hurts everyone he 's ever met -- physically , emotionally , you name it . téa : people have loved you . do n't you think they 've had good reasons for that ? todd : stupidity . téa : shut up . i 'm not staying at this pity party , todd . the todd i knew never gave up when something mattered to him . the todd i knew took on the whole -- todd : the todd you knew is n't worth a human life . i hate that son of a bitch ! this -- this todd , téa , the one that marty loves , he 's got nothing . he 's got nothing waiting for him outside of here .

[ scene_break ] blair : i 'm at a loss . i -- i was kind of expecting something else . john : me too . you know , to be honest , i never stopped to think how seeing marty was going to affect me . but now that it 's here , i need you to know that i care about her . blair : i know that you do . john : come on , you got to let me get this out . you got to let me get this out . i do n't talk about these things very much , and if i do n't do it now , i may never . blair : okay . john : marty 's been through hell and i feel for her . i did n't want to think about what manning did to her . she 's got a whole life to put together . but you know she 's going to do that . she 's strong . but the woman i found at todd 's is not the woman i knew . that 's not the woman i want . i want you . now , look . i ca n't predict the future , so i 'm not going to . and you -- you deserve everything in the world , you know , and maybe i 'm not offering enough . maybe i never will , but i know what i want . i think you know what i want . and if you want something different , that 's okay . i 'll respect that . i 'll walk away .

john : well , he just came out and said it . `` delgado shot victor . `` bo : he was there ? john : no , no . but that 's why he says that delgado took the gun from , uh -- from todd , so he could then shoot victor and then frame todd for it . bo : but why would a pro like calmar -- volunteer information ? now , do you have something on him ? john : no , and he made himself an accessory . bo : he 's got an agenda . he wants you to believe that tomás is guilty . john : so we do n't believe someone else is guilty . bo : manning ?

cutter : you . back in brazil , when i told you that dr . fascinella canceled your surgery , you know , the one to turn you back ? stacy : yeah , because i had been in a coma . cutter : well , that was a lie . the reason he could n't operate on you was 'cause you never had a surgery . stacy : yeah , i did . i had -- i had to ! how else could i look like this ? cutter : you were born this way . cutter : truth is , the reason you look like gigi -- is because you are gigi . 102 roxanne : i mean it . if you do n't tell him , then i will . natalie : you would n't dare ! roxanne : natalie , there comes a time in every hairdresser 's life when enough is enough . now , i may not be able to un - fry someone 's messed - up hairdo because , after all , this is a comb . it 's not a magic wand . but there are two very , very important things in my life -- my family and my stories . and i am not taking that lying down . so `` fraternity row `` is not going off the air , and you are not breaking up with johnny . so you just get outta my way . natalie : do not cross me on this , roxy . roxanne : you consider yourself crossed . natalie : whoa ! rox -- ugh ! damn it ! bo : does , uh , calmar have a family ?

i 'm gon na go . cutter : listen to me . look , i did n't know . i swear . i - i - i was just trying to help you , but then that dr . fascinella pulls me aside and he tells that he examined your face , and he swore to me that you 'd never had a surgery . there was no mark on your face . there 's no stitches , no -- no scarring , no nothing . stacy : well , maybe he just did a really good job . cutter : no ! he did n't . this face -- it 's the face you had your entire life . stacy : i do n't understand ! cutter : i did n't either , all right . but -- somehow , i guess you and your sister switched in that basement , and somehow you got out . stacy : so , i 'm -- cutter : you 're gigi . look , i swear . i - i was just trying to help you . i - i had no idea . like , kim did n't even -- kim thought that you were stacy , and then this fascinella guy , he examines you and -- stacy : why did n't you tell me ? cutter : because i did n't know . i -- [ sighs ] all i could think about was just getting you out of there . stacy : well , it 's been days since then , cutter ! cutter : i know . i know . i know . and that is on me . stacy : but why ? ! cutter : because , i - i was just thinking about how you 'd lost your memory , how you did n't have a life to go back to , and , stacy , you and me , we 've got , like , a good thing . stacy : you lied to me . cutter : i did n't want to lose you ! i care about you ! stacy : you picked a great way to show it ! cutter : stacy , we can have an amazing life together . stacy : i have a life . i have a son ! i have a fiancé ! oh , my god ! ! cutter : wait , wait , wait , wait . where are you going ? stacy : home ! i 'm going home , and you ca n't stop me ! cutter : but -- you ca n't even remember who you are ! stacy : i will remember ! i 'll look at my son [ sighs ] and rex , and i 'll remember . cutter : stacy , wait . stacy : that 's not my name ! stacy : cutter ? cutter : [ chuckles softly ] stacy : where were you ? cutter : uh , just thinking . stacy : okay , well , you said to lied to me . what 's that about ? testin eye couture ? shane : if aunt stacy had taken mom 's place , then mom never would have gone down into that basement , and jack manning never would have killed her . rex : whoa , whoa . shane , just take it easy , okay ? shane : why ? it 's not gon na change anything . no matter what i do , mom 's still gone . rex : i - i know . shane : no , dad . you do n't know . you were in brazil while i was here missing her . this is where she used to work . rex : i know . shane : it does n't matter where i go -- here , home , the parking lot at school . she 's gone ! and it 's jack manning 's fault . so , no matter what i have to do , he 's gon na pay for it ! rex : listen to me . shane , i am angry , too , okay ? it 's not gon na change anything . if you spend all of your time trying to make jack manning pay , the only person you 're gon na hurt is yourself . you have to let this go . i 'm sorry . jack : so , shane did n't tell you ? neela : tell me what ? i mean , i know he does n't like you and that he blames you for making his life miserable at school . jack : yeah . neela : because you -- picked on him ? jack : we picked on him a lot . and last year , he tried to kill himself . neela : oh , my god ! jack : he did n't tell you that ?

let me take you to the real eiffel tower . come on . let 's get out of here -- now . todd : well , everybody makes mistakes . i mean , it does n't sound like you saw this one coming . how could you know ?

bo : if we 're right and manning has , uh , delgado stashed somewhere , my bet is he is keeping him alive . john : it 's leverage . it makes sense . it explains why frenchy 's sticking to his story .

great anniversary show for blair . she gets to sing . after figuring out that walker 's really todd , she has fantasy sequences that resemble a b & w 40 's movie about how she would deal with finding out that todd has betrayed her again . in different segments she imagines : a denial reaction where she denies being angry with him & wants him anyway . forgiveness - she forgives him , believes he 's changed & they stay together . regret - she takes him back , but discovers he 's been leading her on & steals the kids & the newspaper & prints a damaging story on kevin . anger - she vows revenge on todd & begs kevin to kill him . when kevin refuses , she plans on killing him herself . revenge - she actually shoots him dead . dorian tells her , she should have tormented him instead . back in reality , she almost figures out that starr was in on it too , but starr covers with an excuse . starr tells todd to get over to dorian 's & fix the situation . when todd tracks down blair she waits at the door with a loaded gun .

[ scene_break ] charlie : what happened ? viki : i guess i just finally got it through my thick skull -- well , with a little help from natalie , that someone who would do something like this -- charlie , you 're such a keeper . charlie : you know , viki , after we broke up , and especially when you were gone , i just had so many different feelings rattling around inside of me that i could n't let loose . and , i mean , i knew that i was out of your life . you 'd made that perfectly clear . but i just could n't get you out of my head , or out of my heart . so -- this is what i did . viki : and while you were doing this i was far away in africa . and i have to tell you , i met some really extraordinary people . but every night i went back to my hotel room , and all i could think about was you . charlie , i felt so empty without you . so i guess i really needed that time and the distance to realize how important you are to me , much more so than what happened between us . charlie : viki , i lied to you . viki : yeah , i know . but you did it to protect your son . and then you picked up a ticking bomb and you ran it out of my house . you risked your own life to save natalie and jared and me . i 'd kind of call us even . charlie : you do n't know how much i have hoped that you would feel that way some day . viki : i just had to learn to trust you again . because i never , ever , ever stopped loving you . [ scene_break ] jessica : you know , it 's just crazy to think that this person , this entirely different personality who lives inside me , just went berserk on my sister and her boyfriend . brody : i read some of the stuff in the newspaper . how you saw your husband 's accident and watched him die . i saw buddies of mine die , iraqi civilians . it messes you up . jessica : no , it did not give tess license to try to kill my sister , her boyfriend , and whoever else got in her way . brody : no , it 's just sometimes you 're just going along , doing your own thing , and -- i do n't know where you disappear . jessica : is that how you feel inside ? brody : sometimes . it does n't matter what i 'm doing or how i 'm feeling . all of a sudden i 'm right back in iraq . i can smell it . i can hear it . jessica : that 's awful . brody : i used to drink . i 'd start a fight , pass out . either way , the problem 's solved and no more baghdad . but then gigi came back into my life and things changed . i had to stop with the drinking if i wanted to be around shane , so i did . i mean , you ca n't raise a kid if you do n't have your act together . jessica : i feel that way all the time . you know , tess gave birth to this little one . that 's what i was talking about this morning . and when she did it , she was all alone . she was in the middle of nowhere . she went to the cottage where me and my husband used to live . no hospitals , no doctors , no drugs , nothing . just tess and her will to live . and , you know , when i woke up it was all over . and i had blackouts before , but this time , you know , i was n't pregnant anymore . and i had a baby lying in my arms that i did n't recognize . [ scene_break ] [ baby crying ] jared : can we get her to sleep , please ? natalie : i know , i do n't know . jared . i know that we have n't started talking about a family yet , but -- jared : yeah , i do n't know if now is the right time -- natalie : do you really think that we can handle doing this ? jared : is that a rhetorical question ? natalie : i just do n't know if i can handle this night in and night out . come on , it 's okay , baby . jared : look , if we have learned one thing by now it 's that we can handle anything together , okay ? [ baby crying loudly ] [ scene_break ] brody : i ca n't imagine how freaked out you must have been . jessica : you know what really freaks me out ? there 's tess , who tried to kill my mother , my sister , my sister 's boyfriend -- half my family . and then all of a sudden i realize there 's another personality , and her name 's bess . and all this time , she 's been running the show . i must sound crazy to you . brody : no , you do n't . jessica : yeah , i bet you did n't realize that having dinner with me would be an act of courage or recklessness . brody : well , maybe i 'm the daredevil type . jessica : yeah , well there are safer hobbies , like skydiving , base jumping . brody : oh , been there , done that . jessica : yeah , well , have you ever hung out with somebody with all these personalities inside that can come out any second ? brody : i get it . jessica : do n't , you do n't have to say that . i mean , i do n't completely get it . i think the technical term is nuts . brody : jessica , i really do understand . see , sometimes , i see a little boy who is n't really there . [ scene_break ] roxy : yeah , i 'm talking about walter . who else would i be talking about ? rex : you know what ? i 'm not going to get into the whole dad thing with you tonight . i 've got gigi , my son . who cares who my dad is ? roxy : anybody else want to sign this card to jessica at st. ann 's ? shane : you 're sending a card to st. ann 's ? what if brody sees it ? roxy : who cares ? he ought to be in the slammer anyway . shane : he 's sick . he has posttraumatic stress disorder . shane : i 've explained this to you , ma . roxy : yeah , well , he shot my baby . shane : brody did n't mean to hurt anyone . he 's a hero , and he 's a good person . gigi : yes , we know all that . roxy , um -- kitchen ? roxy : i really stepped in it , did n't i ? but i 'm just a mom trying to protect my kid . just like your mom . rex : sorry she upset you . shane : brody did n't mean to shoot you . but a mother would n't think that 's a good excuse . i just do n't like anyone badmouthing brody . rex : your mom told me you wanted to make him a special card . shane : it would be great if i could get it to him before he sees the other one . i do n't want him to feel left out . rex : your mom got a roll of pictures of you and brody developed . and i picked out a blank holiday card so that you can write or draw anything on it that you want . rex : i 'll leave you alone to do your thing . shane : wait . uh , you did a pretty good job of picking out the christmas card picture . i mean , we do n't look too stupid . rex : thanks . shane : so i was thinking maybe you could help me pick out the card with me and brody ? rex : dude , i 'd be honored . [ scene_break ] blair : you know , this place needs a tree . john : no , no tree . blair : come on , where is your christmas spirit ? john : you look real pretty . blair : now , flattery is not going to get you out of decorating . john : yeah , i think not decorating is going to get me out of decorating . blair : come on , john , you do n't remember that beautiful christmas tree in `` christina comes home for christmas `` ? john : no , is that some sort of movie ? blair : some sort of movie ? that 's a classic . john : no , no , no . blair : yeah . john : `` high noon `` is a classic . `` magnificent seven , `` that 's a classic . blair : no . okay , we 're going to add this one to your list tonight . john : name me one good thing about this movie . blair : one ? there are so many , it 's -- oh , my god , just an unbelievable movie . when i was a little girl going from foster home to foster home , it was the one constant thing every year , i mean every christmas . at the end of the movie , there are these beautiful bells , and it just -- it made me believe that someday i was going to have a beautiful christmas tree of my own , and i 'd find my place in the world .

[ scene_break ] starr : i thought it was your job as a minister to know this stuff . [ andrew chuckles ] andrew : well , i used to think that , too . but i think one of the biggest lessons that you learn in seminary is that you just ca n't give people the answers that they 're looking for . starr : then what 's the point ? andrew : the point is that you try to give them tools . tools that will help them find the answers they 're looking for inside themselves . starr : is n't that like sliding by ? andrew : well , i guess it kind of sounds that way , but , you know , my results are pretty good . i guess you 'll just have to trust me on that . starr : what about these tools ? andrew : you 've got a lot of friends , starr , a lot of family that love you . you 've got to open up to them , and you 've got to tell them how you 're feeling . starr : that 's it ? andrew : and if anybody tells you to move on or cheer up or to get over it , you tell them to get lost . starr : i can get behind that . andrew : but i think you might be surprised at how much -- how much comfort you can get when you share a loss like this with people who care , so do n't be afraid to lean on them . [ scene_break ] cole : yeah , this is like the fourth time that i 've ever worn a suit . three out of the four times , to a funeral for someone i loved . marty : yeah , i guess i 'd swear off suits , too . you scared ? cole : i do n't know how i 'm going to do it . you know , face everybody . marty : well , just keep your mind on a couple of things . do n't let anybody push you into talking if you 're not ready to . and do n't let anybody tell you that you 're going to have another baby one day and that 's going to make up for it , because nothing is going to replace the daughter that you lost . and just one more thing . there is no manual or time period for mourning . you do what you want to do . cole : you can still do it . marty : do what ? cole : make me feel better about things . cole : well , uh , i 'll see you downstairs ? we should probably leave in about half an hour or so . marty : i 'm sorry , cole . i ca n't go with you . [ scene_break ] michael : that was gigi again . she could n't switch the therapy session with rex and shane . marcie : i told her it was okay if she could n't make the service . michael : yeah , well , she 's your friend . she really wanted to be there . that was for hope ? marcie : yeah , and all i have to put in it is this copy of her birth certificate . i mean , at least with tommy we had memories , but i never got a chance to know hope . and i 'll never get to know what her smile looks like or what the sound of her voice sounds like or her laugh . i wo n't remember anything we said or we did . i just -- i do n't know how i 'm supposed to do this , michael . i -- i do n't know how i 'm supposed to get through this again . michael : hey , we 'll do it like we always do it -- together .

[ scene_break ] jessica : i just should have stayed in my room instead of having a meltdown out here . brody : if it 'll make you feel better , i could do my best tarzan . jessica : excuse me ? brody : you know , the tarzan yell ? i 've never done it without six or seven beers under my belt , but i can try . i mean , i 've got no shame . jessica : oh , i believe you . that 's okay . brody : nobody would probably notice around here , anyway . [ jessica chuckles ] jessica : yeah . i 'm sorry . i do n't know why this is hitting me so hard . i mean , i 've known about starr 's baby for a while now . brody : well , is it because you ca n't be with your own kids ? jessica : yeah , maybe . but i know they 're healthy and they 're happy and they 're with my family . they 're with tons of people that love them . brody : but it 's tough . it 's the worst thing there is , when a little kid dies . [ scene_break ] starr : how can i ask anything from everyone that i love ? i have screwed up their lives so much already . andrew : i do n't think they feel that way . starr : it 's true . and it all started when cole and i went to bed together . my dad went crazy . my mom kicked him out of the house and they got divorced . and then i found that i was pregnant . my dad could n't stand the fact that i was going to give my baby to marcie mcbain , so he did that sick thing to cole 's mother . did you hear about that ? he kept her in his house , cole not knowing that his mother was still alive . and then marcie , she lost another child and it is all because of me . how can i ask anything of any of them ? andrew : i do n't think you 'll have to ask . these are your friends . these are your family . they are asking already , `` how can we help starr ? what can we do ? `` tell them how you 're feeling , starr . they 'll be grateful . singer : running rings around the roses the children sing of the sadness life exposes in perfect rhyme in perfect time they tumble to the ground it 's just a game but just the same we all fall down we all fall down we all fall andrew : we 're gathered here in god 's healing embrace to remember hope manning mcbain and to deliver her into his grace . and it hurts to do this , but we take comfort in the knowledge that even death can not separate us from god 's good purpose for his children . and we ask him now for comfort . and we ask special consideration for starr and cole and marcie , who were so blessed to have loved hope during her brief stay with us on this earth . let us pray .

bo and nora are ready to take matthew home since he 's ready to walk soon . but he is not going anywhere until he knows that dani is ok . bo goes to see if he can find where ross had taken dani and blair . todd and tea are together , getting closer when they are both worried about their daughter and both grateful that blair is there for her . at first , bo ca n't find them . but blair activates her gps so that the cops can find the car they are in before ross takes them over the canadian border . doctors ask rex and jessica if they can donate their blood for mitch 's transfusion because their `` father `` could die without it . they are not certain what to do . the doctors find the blood for mitch . and right then , stacy happens to be in the hospital ready for a check up but needs to falsify the paternity for rex . so she takes a tube of blood for mitch . meanwhile , kim attempts to get neville to admit to clint that bo and nora are messing around so that she can `` be there `` for clint when he 's in a vulnerable state of mind .

[ scene_break ] rex : what are you doing ? jen : i screwed up again . rex : no , you did n't . jen : i fought with natalie , i fought with joe , and then i threw myself into bed with you , thinking that it would make everything okay , it would make everything go away , but it did n't ! it 's still there ! rex : okay , well , it does n't have to be . stay with me . jen : what , and screw you up , too ? i ruin everything ! why ca n't i just stop ? ca n't even do this right ! rex : you 're not a screw - up , not to me . jen : i am . rex : so you 're going to keep feeling this way until you get yourself out of that screwed - up situation you 're in . jen : no . rex : trust me , jen , it 's not you . you 're amazing .

[ scene_break ] kevin : i tried so many times to tell you that he was todd , but i just -- i could n't . blair : why ? kevin : because i did n't want to see you get hurt . blair : so you did all this for me ? kevin : well , i mean , i did it for me , too . i did n't want you to hate me for being the guy who took away your happiness . blair : but you knew i was going to find out sooner or later , kevin . kevin : well , that was n't the only reason . blair : what ? kevin : you know what , you do n't need to -- blair : no , what ? did todd threaten you ? what did he do ? kevin : it was kelly . he had a tape of her affair in houston and he threatened to expose it . blair : so kelly knew , too , huh ? i guess i was the only person that did n't know . kevin : blair , the truth is , is that if you would have wanted to know , you would have known . blair : because i would have had to leave him . i would have had to say goodbye to the only man that i 've ever loved so completely and hated so completely . kevin : sweetie [ scene_break ] todd : how 'd you like to make another quick 20 ? bellhop : i already gave you lieutenant governor buchanan 's room number . todd : shh . now i need his key . bellhop : oh , i ca n't do that . todd : how about now ? bellhop : look , this is a master key . do n't let anybody know where you got it .

[ scene_break ] roxy : so what did you spike this with , because i was hallucinating . were you actually covering for jen ? natalie : i did that for joe , okay , because it would kill him if he knew that she left with rex . roxy : or in other words , what he does n't know is not going to hurt him . natalie : well , i hope not . i mean , you know , this marriage , it 's a disaster . i mean , it 's going to blow up sooner or later . maybe i should go talk to jen again . you know , i should have another conversation with her . roxy : oh , yeah , like she 'd listen to you . natalie : what am i supposed to do , rox ? roxy : want my advice ? natalie : let me guess -- you 're going to tell me to butt out , get a life , and jen can be with whomever she wants to be with . roxy : duh .

[ scene_break ] schuyler : okay . i have n't told rex and gigi that stacy is lying to them . rachel : they do n't know that the baby is n't rex 's ? schuyler : not from me . rachel : well , you 're going to tell them , right ? schuyler : wrong . [ scene_break ] gigi : we still have n't tried counseling . rex : i do n't think counseling can fix any of this . gigi : well , maybe an outside person can -- rex : what , can change the fact that when you look at schuyler , you see this perfect guy , a guy who listens to you , guy who takes punches for you ? you see ... gigi : what ? rex : a guy who did n't betray you by sleeping with your sister . [ scene_break ] schuyler : i ca n't tell gigi the baby is mine . rachel : why not ? schuyler : because rex and gigi have been having problems . rachel : yeah , because of the baby . schuyler : and if they find out that it 's not his -- rachel : no more trouble in paradise . schuyler : i know ! i 'm a jerk . i 'm a jerk . rachel : hey , i 'm just here to listen . schuyler : you know what , rachel ? it 's not just that . gigi and i got close because rex slept with her sister . i mean , i 'm the guy . i 'm the guy that she comes to when she ca n't deal with what he did . rachel : but if she finds out you did the same thing -- schuyler : i do n't want gigi looking at me and seeing another guy who slept with stacy . [ scene_break ] rex : when you look at me , you see -- gigi : the father of my child , my best friend , the guy i spent fourth of july with in a basement in michigan . rex : the guy who slept with your sister . gigi : i do n't want to see that . i try real hard not to . rex : but you ca n't help it , and what about when this baby comes ? gigi : you think i 'm gon na blame the baby ? rex : no . i know you wo n't want to , but what if you ca n't help it ? we 're looking at possibly a lifetime of me having to deal with stacy because of this baby . what if every time you look at this baby , you 're reminded of how i betrayed you ? gigi : maybe you 're right . maybe there is n't any way we can change any of this . [ scene_break ] kim : quick , go put on nigel 's clothes . nevil : in a jif , love . kim : and make sure clint does n't see those teeth . nevil : i never thought they were so bad . kim : no . they 're fine . i just wish we could 've found something to file them down with , like a chainsaw . nevil : you said i was my cousin 's equal . kim : and you are as long as you talk with your mouth closed . go . stacy : wow . kim : right ? stacy : can you imagine the parties you could throw here if your plan works out ? kim : oh , my plan will work . stacy : ha ha ha ! clint : rachel , is that you ?

[ scene_break ] rachel : schuyler , but stacy is having your baby . schuyler : i know . i know . rachel : how about what that means ? schuyler : rachel , that 's the first thing i think about when i wake up in the morning . it 's the last thing i think about before i fall asleep , if i fall asleep . rachel : you are going to be a father . schuyler : well , as far as stacy is concerned , that baby is rex 's . rachel : uh , so what ? schuyler : so , she made it quite clear to me that i will have no part in this child 's life . rachel : and there are ways to fight that . schuyler : lawyers cost money , rachel . rachel : and i know a few that 'll work for free . schuyler : so what ? so what ? i 'm gon na spend the rest of my life in court ? no , thanks . rachel : why do n't you just say what you mean ? schuyler : which is what ? rachel : that what really matters to you is making sure gigi does n't find out you slept with stacy . schuyler : i thought you were just gon na listen . rachel : you know what ? i 'm sorry . i ca n't , schuyler , not when you 're willing to let stacy use your baby to blackmail rex . i know you care about gigi -- i do -- but even if you ended up with her , it would be because of a lie . is that good enough for you ? can you really go the rest of your life denying that you 're a father ? [ scene_break ] rex : we can not keep living like this ... gigi : i know . rex : because i feel like i 'm losing you a little at a time . gigi : i do n't want that . rex : i do n't , either . i really do n't want that , but the thing is , you ca n't live with what happened between me and stacy , and i can not live with schuyler coming between us . gigi : so , how do we fix it ? rex : you need to figure out how you feel about this baby , and you need to figure out how you feel about schuyler , and i need to give you some space to do that . gigi : what are you saying ? rex : i think , gigi -- i think we need to split up . [ scene_break ] clint : rachel ? kim : is he gone ? stacy : yeah . nevil : how do i look ? kim and stacy : shh ! nevil : how do i look ? kim : perfect . now get in there and do your stuff . nevil ! nevil : oh . sir ? pardon the interruption . stacy : do you think nevil will be able to pull this off ? kim : he 's very motivated . we 're both finally gon na get everything we want . stacy : oh , it 's about time . kim : rex is gon na fall madly in love with you and your baby , and the 3 of you are gon na live happily ever after ... stacy : with a nanny . kim : and i 'll live with clint for at least 90 days ... stacy : with a butler . kim : and no prenup . ha ha ha ! clint : nigel ? i thought you 'd left . nevil : i could n't possibly play cards this evening , not with these terrible thoughts preying on my mind .

[ tires screech ] ross : ah , it 's fine . everything is fine . we 'll just turn around , no big deal . [ scene_break ] téa : it 's good we have n't heard from the canadian cops . todd : why ? téa : well , they ca n't apprehend him until he crosses the border . he must not be there yet . todd : yeah , unless he crossed without them knowing .

in seattle , blair manages to get a signal to the police from her gps so that they can find her , dani and ross before he 's taken them over the canadian border . she is protective of dani and realizes that todd will fight for his daughter . bo , nora , todd and tea get in the car and attempt to find them . meanwhile , back in llanview , clint still has no clue that nora is going to break up with him and get back with bo . but kim has overheard neville informing nigel of that . so she manipulates neville into making bo think that he is nigel ( played by the same actor ) and to spill the beans to clint so that kim can find clint in a vulnerable state and possibly ready to marry him so that she can take his money . schuyler reveals to rachel that he does n't want to tell gigi or rex that stacy is pregnant by him and not by rex because he wants a chance with gigi which may not happen if he tells them what he knows about stacy 's baby . rex concludes to stacy that since he distrusts her with schuyler and she has an issue about stacy being pregnant with his baby , that they should break up .

[ marty sighs ] marty : look , i know everybody thinks spencer was faking it , but he wasn't . but let 's say it was an act . a renowned surgeon like him going to those lengths -- i mean , particularly against todd ? planning and faking margaret 's murder , the disappearance of her son ? framing todd for the murders all the way to the death chamber ? these are -- these are not acts of a sane man . bo : but i 'm not denying that he 's a sociopath . marty : exactly . i mean , as a doctor , he would know what it means to be found unfit . in prison , he would at least have a chance at parole , but in a mental institution ? no , his fate is in the hands of the doctors . he could be there for the rest of his life . bo : yeah , ok , but as a doctor , he could know how to convince them that he 's cured . marty : well , then he goes back on trial and is probably found guilty . bo : ok . let 's get back to my original question . marty : no , no . i do n't think spencer planned his escape . by the way you were questioning todd , i do n't think you do , either . you think todd had something to do with this ? bo : do you ? marty : why are you asking me ? bo : because you know todd -- psychologically speaking . i mean , you did an evaluation on him a couple of years ago . do you think that he was hiding something just now ? marty : look , i really do n't want to get involved in this . bo : oh . you already are involved in this . marty : no , no , no . i -- i can not weigh in on todd , not with our history . bo : yeah , but you told me yourself spencer truman is a dangerous man . now , f he 's out there right now on his own , have to know that . but if he 's not -- i mean , if he 's out there but there 's someone else who is responsible for his situation right now -- see , i have to know that , too . marty : then i think it would be smart to keep an eye on todd . dorian : so zane is coming home tonight ? kelly : yeah ! i 'm so excited but i 'm terrified . dorian : does this mean you 'll be leaving for london soon ? kelly : well , i miss kevin and he misses zane . it 's important for us to be together . you knew this day would come . dorian : i was hoping it was going to be later rather than sooner .

[ spencer pants ] spencer : oh , thank god -- thank god you 're here . rachel ray here bo : so do you think todd kidnapped truman , or maybe killed him ? marty : i am not the one you should be asking about this . bo : ca n't you give me a straight answer ? just leave the personal out of it ? marty : yes , i can , but i -- bo : ok , well , then do it . marty : ok . look , i do n't know if todd had anything to do with spencer 's escape , but there was something that bothered me . bo : what ? marty : todd 's reaction when the judge found spencer unfit -- or rather , his lack of a reaction . that 's not todd 's style . bo : i thought the same thing . but look , you did n't come here to talk about todd , so what did you want to talk to me about ? marty : a job . antonio : yeah , no -- no , thanks for getting back to me so soon . i just need to make sure that it arrives in time . yeah . oh , it 's for my beautiful wife . and i want to make sure she has the most wonderful christmas she 's ever had .

[ sarah scoffs ] sarah : yeah , why would i ? she left me a puppy . viki : i 'm really sorry she left so abruptly -- for your sake anyway . the thing is , i did n't give her much choice . sarah : she , um -- all she told me was that she made some bad decisions , but i know it must 've been worse than that . what did she do ? [ scene_break ] téa : thank you . just got off the phone with the consulate in bogota . they need an hour to do a search on your divorce . vanessa : are you sure they 're going to get back to you ? because things over there can tend to take a long time unless somebody greases the wheel . téa : i have a feeling they 'll step things up for me . vanessa : wow . what can i offer you as thanks ? téa : oh , please . it was a couple of phone calls . cristian : it 's more than that . téa : answer this question for me . you say that ray -- vanessa : montez . téa : montez says you convinced his daughter to testify against him ? vanessa : that 's what he says . téa : uh - huh . cristian : he told antonio he was innocent , that vanessa set him up . téa : did you ? [ vanessa sighs ] [ scene_break ] cole : well , my mom came to the cemetery . nora : she changed her mind ? cole : yeah . you know , it really helped having her there , too . nora : wow . that 's a big step , cole . she 's trying . cole : yeah , i guess she is . but she 's -- she 's so different . nora : well , it 's going to take a little time , sweetie . cole : it 's not -- it 's not the memory stuff . it 's who she is deep down . i mean , something 's changed . it 's like todd has , like , ripped out a part of her soul . nora : oh , no . it 's still there . she 's just protecting it . cole : i hope so , because if todd killed her spirit , prison 's nowhere near enough punishment for him .

[ scene_break ] john : blair knows i care about what happens to you . marty : but you let her know that she comes first . john : i 've got it covered . marty : because blair does n't strike me as a woman who would like to be second . john : i 'll give you back your privacy . marty : i 'm sorry . i 'm prying in your relationship . i think i -- i 'm feeling a little guilty . john : for what ? marty : for taking you away from your life . john : you 're not . i chose to be here . marty : see , there you go again , being that good guy . i just wish i remembered . it 's pretty unfair . [ marty sighs ] marty : i have to go . john : yeah ? you got someplace you have to be ? marty : yeah , actually -- todd 's arraignment . i want to hear when nora reads the charges against him . what , you 're thinking i should n't go ? because i 'm going to go . john : okay . need a ride ? marty : yeah . [ scene_break ] jack : do you love cole 's mom more than me ? blair : it 's a fair question , todd . todd : no . you 're my son . jack : so why would you leave with her ? todd : because your mom would n't let me see you . and that was killing me . but i screwed up and i went a little crazy . and after everything that happened with sam and -- and with your sister , i just lost it after that . and i was a bad father , and a bad husband . and i did n't like myself particularly for that . but also , i was trying to do what was right for you . i thought that maybe if i went away and started over , that i could become the kind of father that you 'd be proud of . and maybe then , we could all be together . jack : how ? blair : yeah . how was that going to work for you , todd ? todd : i do n't know . jack : do you still want to go away with her ? todd : it does n't matter either way -- it wo n't happen . jack : because you 're in here ? todd : even if i was n't in here , it would n't happen . marty and i are over . that should 've never happened in the first place . jack : are you getting out soon ? blair : um , i -- it does n't seem likely , jack . jack : he 's been in jail before and he always gets out . blair : yeah , well , it 's up for the courts to decide this one . but your father has done some things that he needs to pay for . okay ? so it seems like he might be away for a very , very long time . [ scene_break ] vanessa : are you accusing me of setting my husband up for murder ? téa : no , i 'm asking . cristian : téa . téa : i 'm a lawyer . we ask questions . vanessa : listen , ray killed his first wife . he knows it , lola knows it , and i know it . téa : okay , got it . now , back to the matter at hand . cristian : right . so , if vanessa 's divorce is confirmed , then this marriage thing could work , right ? téa : it might . i mean , since 9/11 , things have got a lot stricter , and immigration was on to this scam way before that . this has to look like a real marriage . vanessa needs to really know her husband . we 're talking about the color of his toothbrush , whether he wears boxers or tighty whities , how he likes his eggs cooked . i do n't know -- honeymoon photos help . it takes a lot of work , but it is possible . cristian : is this even legal ? téa : i would never suggest anything illegal , cristian -- you know that . cristian : right . téa : i 'm just informing you as to the law . listen , if -- if vanessa really wants to have no trouble with immigration , then she should marry for love . they 'll buy that a lot sooner . and the sooner she does that , the better .

[ scene_break ] evangeline : you think todd kidnapped spencer ? bo : no question . evangeline : really ? bo : yeah -- you do n't ? evangeline : well , todd does stupid things , reckless things , no question , but he fought really hard to get his freedom back . i do n't think he would risk it . bo : yeah , but there 's one thing you can say about manning -- no matter what he 's into , he thinks he can get away with it . evangeline : oh , you are so right about that . oh , my god , bo . if todd does have spencer , i do n't even want to think what he 's doing to him . bo : well , with his sense of justice , you know he could end up back on death row . [ scene_break ] blair : now , do n't go second - guessing my doctors , okay ? we got good news -- there 's no tumor , so why do n't we just relax and feel lucky for once in our lives ? todd : you do n't feel lucky , blair . blair : yeah , i do . i feel -- i feel lucky . todd : you look like you feel guilty . i think that 's what 's making you so tense and giving you these headaches . it 's not hard to figure out -- i just did n't see it till now . blair : oh , yeah ? todd : hmm . you did everything you could to bring spencer down , but it was n't enough and you blame yourself . blair : yeah , i -- i do . i mean , i let you down , i let the kids down , and i was a fool enough to buy into spencer 's bull and i 'll never get over that , i do n't think . todd : lies , blair -- i think that 's what 's kept us apart . no more . we ca n't afford secrets and lies anymore . am i right ? blair : mm - hmm . todd : so i have to confess something to you . [ scene_break ] jessica : too much christmas cheer ? is that even possible ? nash : obviously , it is . look , jessica , thank you for coming by . jessica : okay . i know that the buchanan christmas can be a little much , but you ca n't just ignore it . nash : why not , jessica ? jessica : because -- you 'll get depressed , and i do n't like seeing the people that i care about depressed on the holidays , okay ? it 's just easier to enjoy them . nash : i 'm not depressed . i just -- i got stuff on my mind , all right ? jessica : nash ? nash : what ? jessica : you 're having a christmas . there is a tree tied to the roof of my car and i am not dragging it back inside llanfair . nash : a tree is a waste for one man . all right ? jessica : it 's not just going to be one man . i -- i 'm here and bree 's going to be here . bree is looking forward to spending christmas with her dad . nash : you 're not going to be here , and bree is not going to miss a christmas tree . she 's an ankle biter . jessica : really ? well , maybe not now , but when she flips through those photo albums that you 're putting together for her , she is going to be pretty disappointed that her dad did n't go all out for her first christmas . nash : cheap shot . jessica : mm - hmm . now , are you going to help me go and get that tree or am i going to have to do it myself ? [ scene_break ] antonio : so you want to propose to evangeline , but you ca n't ? cristian : that 's what i said . antonio : well , why not ? cristian : how 's it going to work ? antonio : what do you mean , `` how 's it going to work ? `` what , you need money , money for a ring ? cristian : do n't do that . look , if i ca n't afford to buy evangeline a ring , then i have no right to even think about asking her to marry me . antonio : oh , cris , what are you talking about ? look , if evangeline loves you -- which she does -- having a ring right now should n't even matter . cristian : it 's not about the ring , man . it 's -- it 's about what it represents . i want to be able to take care of her , give her the kind of life that she deserves , the kind of life that i 'd -- that i 'd want to give her . antonio : all right . cristian : and want to be able to hold my head up in our relationship , you know , not have people looking at us like i 'm some lazy freeloader living off his wife . antonio : oh , you know , first of all , no one 's going to think that , and second of all , since when do you care what other people think ? i mean , this -- this is about you and evangeline making a commitment . money should n't even enter into it . cristian : yeah , easy for you to say . hey , come on , man . you and jess had plenty of issues before you got your inheritance , and you did n't get married . and now , whatever jessica needs or wants , you give her . antonio : oh , no , wait a second . the only thing jessica needs is my love and my loyalty , and if i thought otherwise we would n't be together . cristian : coming out of the mouth of a rich man . antonio : you know , maybe it 's not the money . maybe you 're not ready . [ scene_break ] evangeline : todd has to have more sense than that , right ? he would n't do something so self - destructive . bo : look , manning 's never been a favorite of mine . i hate the way he takes the law into his own hands , but i can understand how the possibility of truman never being punished -- i can see how that 'd drive him crazy . evangeline : does john know about spencer going m.i.a . ? bo : not as far as i know . i want to be the first one to tell him . evangeline : you know , he 's going to flip out when he hears about this . bo : i do n't know who wants to see truman get punished more -- todd or john . [ scene_break ] john : ah . natalie : you know , if i knew it would n't set your recovery back for weeks , i would throw this at you except for , then , the doctor would know i gave you soda . john : huh . thank you . natalie : you know that i love you with all of my heart and i would absolutely never do anything to hurt you . however -- john : oh , boy . here it comes . natalie : i am going to do everything in my power to make sure that you do nothing to compromise your recovery and i mean everything . i 'll be right back . [ scene_break ] michael : of course . huh . i understand . yeah , thank you . natalie : michael ? michael : yeah ? natalie : they said what you expected , right ? michael : yeah , i knew what they were going to say . what john wants to do , it 's -- it 's insane . natalie : i know and i am so worried . you know , when i told him about spencer , he acted so calm . he actually said that he was going to let other people take care of spencer and concentrate on what 's important . michael : hmm . natalie : and then the minute i turn my back -- i should just make them take the phone away from his room . michael : yeah . nat , this is my brother we 're talking about . he 'd find another way . natalie : yeah . yeah , he would . he says he 's changing , and with me -- with me , he is . michael : yeah , but that -- you have to understand . that was before , after he locked spencer up . but now , all bets are off , because until the man that killed our father is brought to justice , he wo n't be able to put it behind him . and one thing he 's definitely not going to do is listen to reason -- not from you , not from me , not from anybody . [ scene_break ] antonio : look , cris , if it 's money you need , i mean -- or anything -- bro , do n't -- do n't let pride get in the way of asking for help . cristian : it 's not like i can ask for help and know that i 'd be able to pay it back . antonio : oh , what -- now you 're never going to make a good living ? how about having a little faith ? cristian : faith in what , man ? i have nothing that i can take to the bank right now , nothing . antonio : i got an idea . how about you stop thinking about what you ca n't do and start focusing on what you can ? [ scene_break ] nash : supposing i let you put your christmas tree in my house . i do n't have any ornaments , i do n't have ornaments , i 'm not going to buy any ornaments , i 'm not going to waste any money . what ? jessica : i have ornaments for you right here . nash : you 're too much . you know that ? you 're too much . jessica : i love christmas . i want my daughter to love christmas and it would be really nice , nash , if you loved christmas , too . nash : you ca n't shove christmas cheer down somebody 's throat . they either got it or they do n't . i 'm sorry -- i do n't . jessica : wow . have you always been this scroogey or is this just a new development ? nash : i love christmas . i love it . i 'm going to do christmas . i 'm going to -- i 'm going to spoil her with gifts , i 'm going to take pictures . i 'm going to do the whole santa claus thing . i 'm looking forward to it . jessica : let me help . nash : that 's just the thing -- you 're not helping . christmas trees are for families . jessica : you have a family . nash : it would be great for the five or six hours that bree was here , but then it 'd just be a tree in the corner . jessica : you have a family , nash . nash : i 'm barely a part - time father . it does n't exactly count . i 'm not depressed . jessica : hmm . well , if you 're not depressed , you 're coming very close to it . [ scene_break ] antonio : you got a beautiful woman who loves you . why do n't you concentrate on that ? cristian : you know damn well it 's not that simple . antonio : yeah , because you 're making it complicated ! cristian : fine . so i should just ignore the fact that i have no money and no career ? antonio : oh . all right , look , cris . you 've been through a terrible ordeal , all right ? most people only have nightmares about what you 've actually lived , all right ? and -- and you got your life back , all right ? that in itself -- you should be so damn proud of it , man , not to mention that you almost won the cruiserweight championship . i mean , how many guys get that far ? all right ? and you -- and you would 've actually won it if -- if vincent had n't rigged it . and if that 's not enough , you 're a kick - ass painter . cristian : with a bum hand . antonio : all right , look , so , uh -- maybe you ca n't paint , maybe you ca n't sculpt , all right ? but you 'll find a way to express yourself . all right ? we 're all -- look , what i 'm trying to say is that -- that life is too short , okay ? and if you love someone and someone loves you back , then you need to enjoy the hell out of it , and why am i having this conversation with you ? cristian : all right , you 're right . i should know this , and i do . [ antonio sighs ] antonio : good . good , because i got to go . i 've got to meet jess at nash 's . cristian : jessica at nash 's ? what 's she doing over there ? antonio : oh , she 's bringing him some christmas decorations . what ? cristian : nothing . i -- i just do n't know how you do it , man . i would n't be able to . antonio : nash is a good guy , cris . cristian : all right . antonio : okay ? and he 's connected because of bree and he 's a part -- he 's going to be a part of this family and i 'm not going to fight that , okay ? and -- and , you know , the bottom line is , is that bree and jessica , they -- they love me , all right ? and if i start to feel threatened by nash , then that means i start to doubt jessica and i 'm not going to go there . cristian : hmm . [ knock on door ] evangeline : hey . cristian : hey . evangeline : sorry to interrupt you guys . antonio : no , no . actually , you 're not interrupting anything . remember what i said . cristian : yeah . oh . thanks , huh ? antonio : yeah . evangeline : bye . antonio : bye . evangeline : oh , cris . hmm . oh , god , you have no idea how much i needed this . cristian : bad day , huh ? evangeline : oh , it was the worst . cristian : do n't worry . i know just how to make it better . [ scene_break ] natalie : uncle bo . bo : mike . michael : hey . natalie : hey . bo : how 's the patient doing ? natalie : impatient , but he 's doing better all the time . bo : oh , oh . well , that 's good to hear . i -- did you hear about truman ? michael : only that the judge declared him incompetent to stand trial , shipped him off to wingdale . bo : yeah . well , listen -- natalie : well , is there something else ? bo : i -- i think john should hear this , too , okay , so why do n't we just go on in ? natalie : okay . bo : thanks . john : hey , boss . bo : how you doing , john ? john : i heard truman tried to get himself a section eight . we 're not going to let him get away with that , are we ? what ? bo : well , there 's no easy way to tell you this , so i guess i should just tell you . the van that was taking truman to the sanitarium was hijacked . truman was taken from the scene by a masked assailant . hmm . john : well , as ridiculous as it sounds , he probably arranged it . bo : well , yeah , that 's what we thought , at first . john : but now ? bo : now , it 's starting to look like manning is behind it . natalie : why would you think that ? bo : because manning hates truman and because manning always seems to want to take the law into his own hands . plus , he was just way too calm when the judge called a mistrial . that 's not the way you 'd expect him to react . john : you put a tail on him ? bo : yeah . plus i have every available cop looking for truman . the entire eastern seaboard 's been alerted . sorry that i have to give you this news . john : no , no . thanks for coming down to tell me , you know . go catch this guy for me , will you , bo ? bo : we 'll do that . john : thanks . and for his sake , i hope you 're wrong about manning . bo : hmm . oh , yeah , me , too .

[ scene_break ] rex : so you 've got somebody else after you , somebody who 's as dangerous as margaret ? todd : there 's no death threat or anything like that , but -- rex : all right , what are we talking about exactly ? todd : uh , it 's complicated . suffice it to say that people can be opportunistic , and if ever there was an opportunity to take my place , it would be now . rex : i 'm sorry , am i hearing you right ? you think blair could be interested in somebody else ? todd : no , no , no , i think the opposite . i think someone is interested in blair . and i think he 's a master manipulator and that he senses that she 's vulnerable , and i 'm stuck in here with a lethal injection hanging over my head . rex : ok , so you 've got a reason to get out of here besides not serving time for something you did n't do . what have we got ? todd : margaret was a champion swimmer . rex : and she lied to you about that . todd : she was a champion liar , too . rex : all right , i want to be sure that i 'm clear . margaret lured you to the lake , told you she could n't swim , that she was afraid , then literally threw herself off the boat , pretended to drown , and -- what ? [ scene_break ] kelly : this is a real downer . kevin : well , no , we ca n't let it be , all right ? we have too much to look forward to . look , i 'm sorry that blair and the kids have to suffer because of what todd did , and we will try and help them get through this whole nightmare best we can , but we have to think about ourselves , too . you know , we 've waited a long time to be together , to start a family . we have every right to be happy . kelly : you 're right , we do . i ca n't wait to be married and pregnant , whichever comes first .

[ scene_break ] todd : margaret 's nothing if not creative and vindictive . rex : so her plan was to , what , make you believe that you had killed her and the baby ? todd : that 's possible . it makes sense . rex : then what ? todd : nothing . i think she lets me believe that i 've killed her and hopes that it slowly drives me mad . or she counts on me figuring out that she 's still alive and figures i 'm going to spend the rest of my life in fear of her resurfacing and terrorizing me again . rex : well , from what i heard , this woman was mean enough to try to pull off something like that . todd : she did n't just try , she succeeded . no more , though . i 'm putting a stop to it right now . you can haunt me from the grave , margaret , but you 're going to burn in hell . i 'm getting out of here .

[ scene_break ] clint : look , cord , there 's not much that we can do until we get the results of the dna test . yeah , nora questioned him about his mother . well , he was , at best , evasive . you know , the thought of jared banks making himself welcome at my table and having a seat on the board at b.e . -- i ca n't think of anything worse . now , tell -- well -- i 'll tell you what . i 'll tell sarah to give you a call . okay . cord , you take good care of yourself . bye - bye . nigel : actually , sir , there are worse candidates than jared banks . [ scene_break ] cole : starr , i 'm not going to let john take the rap for shooting miles . all right ? i have to tell the cops i shot miles . starr : no , wait . wait , wait , wait , wait . cole -- um -- you said that your mom trusted john mcbain , right ? cole : yeah . yeah , she trusted him . starr : okay , so -- so john told commissioner buchanan and the fbi . agent that -- that he shot miles . it 's probably because he knew that whatever happened was an accident , and he knows how much you 've been through already . langston : was miles looking at you when you shot him ? cole : yeah . starr : well , who cares who he was looking at ? cole : starr , you said that miles was going to make it . all right , he 'll tell the cops that i shot him . [ scene_break ] natalie : so you 're saying that you shot miles because of all the things that he did to marty ? roxy : where 's miles ? they told me he was shot . natalie : okay , he 's -- he 's going to be okay . he 's going to be all right . he 's in there , but you ca n't go see him right now . roxy : the hell i ca n't .

[ scene_break ] dorian : are you and rex having problems ? adriana : why would you think that ? dorian : you just moved in together and here you are , asking for my advice -- which you have n't done in a very long time . is it about the pregnancy scare ? adriana : oh -- there was no pregnancy scare . dorian : oh , there was for rex . adriana : and he was really upset about it . i would be really upset if i thought i was pregnant . dorian : that 's interesting . adriana : what does that mean ? dorian : i just assumed that if you moved in together , that meant you did n't have any doubts about rex . adriana : oh , i do n't have any doubts about rex . ugh -- this is not what i want to talk about . dorian : oh . no , it is n't . i can see that . hmm ? [ scene_break ] cole : if miles knows i shot him -- starr : well -- cole : he 's going to tell the cops ! starr : no , maybe i got through to him , cole . langston : well , he still cares about your mom , right ? maybe for her sake , he 'll just keep quiet . [ scene_break ] bo : i 'm sorry , roxy , you 're going to have to wait outside . roxy : i 'm not going anywhere . you want to arrest me , fine . john : i tried to stop her , bo . ramsey : as an excuse to get in here and square your story with the victim . john : yeah , right in front of the commissioner , i 'm going to tell laurence how to play it . hey , roxy , come on . you can see laurence after the commissioner 's done . miles : i 'll -- i 'll see you later , rox . roxy : do n't let anyone push you around . you got rights . i 'll be outside . ramsey : out of here , mcbain . miles : john , wait . [ scene_break ] renee : you 're wearing the cufflinks . jared : yes , they were worth buying a shirt with french cuffs . renee : well , now i know what to buy you for christmas . jared : i only hope i can find something for you as special as these are -- wow . renee : you know what you could do for me ? asa had a knack for picking out presents for his granddaughters . if you 'd go through some catalogues with me and give me a man 's point of view ? jared : i -- i would love to -- as soon as i get back . renee : where are you going ? jared : i need to check on natalie . apparently , a friend of hers was shot last night . renee : yes , miles laurence , i heard . um -- but maybe you should let natalie handle this on her own . you know , jared , once the dna results are back and natalie 's had time to adjust , who knows , you might be able to be friends again , but honestly , knowing natalie as i do , i would n't plan on it . [ scene_break ] clint : you can think of somebody worse than jared banks to be my half brother ? nigel : yes -- david vickers . clint : if you wanted to make me feel better about jared banks , you just did it . you know , up to this day , i ca n't believe that vickers bilked me out of $ 10 million before agreeing to give the transplant to jessie . nigel : odd that those two were a match . clint : you know , if viki had n't stopped talking to him , he 'd probably still have that money . nigel , my daughter was dying . nigel : yes , sir . clint : and then he had the nerve to show up at pa 's ranch and sleep with dorian ? nigel : he is what your father would have called a `` 24-karat phony . `` clint : exactly , yeah . why are you bringing his name up out of the blue ? nigel : mr. buchanan did have an affair with mr. vickers ' mother . renee : are you suggesting that david vickers is asa 's son ? it 's not possible . asa stopped seeing his mother years before david was born . unless you know something i do n't know , nigel . jared : i 'm sure nigel 's just trying to put things in perspective . apparently , vickers would be even more unwelcome in this house than i am . clint : that 's the god 's truth . jared : i appreciate you looking out for me , nigel , but i can take care of myself . nigel : i 'm sure that you can , sir . i was just attempting to inject a bit of levity into the situation . jared : ah . hmm . clint : you 're right about one thing , nigel . compared to vickers , quasimodo looks pretty good . renee : jared , nigel , i would like to speak to clint , alone . nigel : of course , madam . clint : renee , you ready for a drink ? renee : yes , thank you . clint , what are you going to do with this anger when the dna test shows that jared is asa 's son ? [ scene_break ] adriana : i do n't know what happened with you and clint , and i 'm not asking . but rex and i are fine . dorian : given rex 's background , it 's only natural to have doubts about him . adriana : i do n't have doubts ! i just wanted your advice about what to get rex for christmas . he needs a watch . dorian : oh , i can help you with that . yes , indeed . everybody seems to be quite crazy about the triomphe d'veaux . adriana : oh . dorian : yes , and it 's not just those print ads with all the movie stars -- but do get the 2007 version , not the 2006 . adriana : rex would not be comfortable wearing something that expensive , and besides , i could n't afford it . i just want a good - looking , dependable watch that i can get engraved . dorian : why do n't you let me buy the triomphe de veaux for you ? adriana : because this is a gift from me , not you . and i do n't have that kind of money . dorian : is this about my losing your money from aunt betsy ? adriana : no , it 's not . i 'm not interested in money . you know that . dorian : except when you want to buy your lover a watch . adriana : that i can afford . dorian : i want to make sure , now that i have a foster daughter , that my two daughters know how very special they are to me . so please , let me buy you this watch . there is no reason for you to have to scrimp . adriana : i 'm not scrimping . besides , you of all people should know that money does not buy you happiness . you and clint are both millionaires , and you still could n't make it work . dorian : yes , clint and i did have our issues , but money was not one of them . but you know the old adage -- when poverty knocks at the door , love flies out the window . [ scene_break ] rex : no , i 'm not talking about money . i just want a little bit of advice . nash : oh . why do n't you try hiring antonio 's booker ? natalie tells me that his place has been packed ever since that guy started booking his acts . rex : yeah , i noticed . but no , this is about adriana . nash : oh . you guys okay ? rex : oh , we 're fine . it 's just -- okay , her family 's rich and i 'm not . nash : i know that tune . rex : and with the club failing and not much action on the p.i . front -- how am i supposed to get the girl a christmas present that 's worthy of her ? jessica : i can answer that . what you do is you get yourself a ribbon , you tie it around you , and then you put yourself underneath the tree . and if adriana is anything like me -- and i think that she is -- that 's all that she 's going to want . [ scene_break ] cristian : i care about you , sarah . you know that . which is why it just feels weird talking to you about my ex . sarah : well , it 's not exactly my idea of a laugh riot , either , but if it 's going to be weird between us until she gets out of the coma -- cristian : okay , you got a point . sarah : i mean , we work together , we see each other every day . and then there 's that other thing . cristian : what other thing ? sarah : what you do to my knees when i smell you . cristian : i smell ? sarah : good . you smell good . i 'm sorry . i should n't have said anything . cristian : no , wait a minute , i think i smell like turpentine and beer . sarah : will you stop ? cristian : sorry . sarah : so for the sake of my knees , and the rest of me , i think we should talk about this . so tell me what blair said . cristian : she wanted to know if -- if evangeline was -- well , if i thought evangeline was the love of my life . you know , like todd is hers . sarah : and what did you say ? cristian : i do n't know . but i 'm going to find out . [ scene_break ] roxy : so what 's with old johnny boy ? he was acting weirder than ever . natalie : um -- marty 's death has really hit him pretty hard . roxy : did miles getting shot have anything to do with what happened to marty ? natalie : all i know is that john tried to save marty and did n't , and then the next thing you know , he 's telling me he shot miles . [ scene_break ] miles : how 's cole ? john : i do n't know , miles . i have n't seen him in a while . ramsey : your concern is touching . fact is , cole thornhart shot you . john : you have quite an imagination . ramsey : forget him . now , tell the commissioner cole thornhart shot you . bo : miles , if cole shot you , we need to get that kid some help . now , he just lost his mother . maybe he went off the deep end . you tell me the truth ; i 'll see what i can do . cole 's voice : john , please , get out of my way ! john : no . cole : please ! miles : cole , what are you doing ? miles : i 'm sorry -- but i do n't remember who shot me . [ scene_break ] rex : adriana knows i love her , but me in a ribbon ? that 's not the kind of thing she can just whip out when her mom asks what she got for christmas . nash : i do n't know -- i think dorian might like that . jessica : stop it . i 'm talking about love , okay ? take this morning , for example , with us . i could barely get up out of bed this morning . all i could think about was marty . rex : yeah , i was sorry to hear about that . she was a class act . jessica : yes , she was . but nash would n't let me go there . he picked me up , he threw me in the shower , he made me go to work , where i was able to pull it together and actually write a nice piece that 's going to run in `` the sun `` about marty , that hopefully , her friends will read and feel a little less hopeless about the situation . and then , he dragged me here where we knew that we would n't run into antonio rex : or anybody else . jessica : well , the point is you ca n't buy that kind of grand gesture , you know ? he -- he knows me , and he cares about me . he -- he loves me , and he shows me every day , and i would n't trade that for all the diamonds in the world . rex : diamonds ? jessica : you 're the diamond , you idiot . and if you want to show her how much you love her , do something -- something like nash did , you know ? when i was in the hospital bed , i thought i was dying . he -- you know , he took my hand and he promised that he 'd love me for the rest of my life , even if it was just for the rest of the day . rex : are you talking about when nash asked you to marry him ? jessica : there 's hope for you yet , rex . [ scene_break ] adriana : we are nowhere near poverty . dorian : i just made up my mind what i 'm going to get you for christmas . i want to buy you a condo . yes . i will make sure that it 's a good , solid investment . and then you can pick out whatever you want , as long as it 's safe and comfortable . adriana : i am comfortable . dorian : then why have n't you had your mother over to dinner ? adriana : if you had n't chased clint to texas , we would 've had you over for thanksgiving . dorian : this has nothing to do with clint . adriana : then do n't make it about rex and me . dorian : this has nothing to do with you . but it has everything to do with rex . [ scene_break ] renee : clint , i -- clint : whew . renee : ca n't pretend to know what you must be feeling , but i do know that jared is the spitting image of asa when he was young . and maybe it 's wishful thinking on my part , but what if jared was asa 's last gift to me ? [ scene_break ] jared : and just how were you planning to explain the dna test , huh ? `` oops -- asa 's got two long - lost sons `` ? nigel : i was testing the waters . jared : well , clint ca n't stand the thought of vickers as his brother . so , hey , you did good , nigel . now live with it . nigel : i went along with this ruse of yours because , as you were saying , you 're the lesser of two evils . but if you do anything to hurt this family , i will come forward .

after clint finds out that bo and nora have cheated on him behind his back , he is alone and upset . and it 's the perfect opportunity for kim to `` move in `` on him . stacy has a similar opportunity when gigi decides to get away and rex is alone . schuyler also admits that gigi and rex 's break up is not something he needs to feel `` bad `` about for his own personal reasons . in seattle , dani is furious with everybody for what happened to her father . she tells todd she hates him because he killed her dad . she refuses to live with her mother and does n't know where she can live . but matthew comes to see her and offers to let her stay with him , his mom and his uncle clint . nora reluctantly agrees , still unaware that clint knows about her and bo . destiny returns home and tells shaun all that has happened . he reflects that his situation with rachel and greg is not unlike hers ' with matthew and dani .

man : five , four , three , two -- marcie : this is marcie walsh , and i 'm coming to you live from llanview university . today i 'll be kicking off a new show that i 'll be hosting , and it 's called `` bridge the gap . `` and with each show , we 're going to introduce a topic , and we 'll invite people who have -- do n't exactly see eye to eye on the topic to discuss it . we 'll see if they can work out their differences and bridge the gap between them . i 'd like to start by welcoming my first two guests . they 're two students here at llanview university . we have greg johnson and kim watts . and i 'd also like to introduce dr. rae cummings . she 's an adjunct professor here at the university and also a very well known and respected relationship expert . but right now we 're going to take a little break , but we 'll be back in a minute to see what our guests think about the topic and discuss it . trust me , it 's a hot one . [ scene_break ] roxy : take these ; hide them . i do n't trust myself . natalie : what are these , christmas gifts ? roxy : well , you got them . they were in the garage . i almost tore them open with my teeth . natalie : i did n't buy anything . i have n't even gone shopping yet . roxy : yeah ? then who 's the elf ? natalie : cristian . [ scene_break ] dorian : you sounded so upset on the phone , carlotta . what 's wrong ? carlotta : i just got back from the airport . you know , i went to puerto rico to see adriana . dorian : how is she ? carlotta : i did n't see her . she 's run away from her school . dorian : oh , no . carlotta : and , of course , they 're searching for her , but so far they have no idea where she could be . [ scene_break ] paul : hey , river . what are you up to ? [ scene_break ] antonio : i do n't buy it . i just do n't buy it . i mean , why change his pattern for this victim ? it 's messy . evangeline : well , the commissioner had the idea that he was rushed and got sloppy , but , oh , gosh , this last murder just hits me a little too close to home . antonio : the fact that she was a witness in your civil case ? figure it was a coincidence , unrelated to the homicide . evangeline : well , the police will let us know . antonio : well , you know , i got to tell you , evangeline , i 'm not going to sit around and wait till they come up with something . evangeline : antonio , did n't i hear the commissioner warn you to steer clear of this ? antonio : yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah . you know -- it 's just that i keep going over this thing in my head , and -- i stayed up last night going over all the information on all the victims , and -- well , there was something that hit me . evangeline : something the police did n't catch ? antonio : maybe . it 's a stretch , right , but if i 'm right , it scares the hell out of me . [ scene_break ] john : no sign of sexual assault . if it 's the music box killer , he stuck to that part of his pattern , but i 'm skeptical . nora : john , is a lack of sexual assault unusual for a ritualistic serial killer ? bo : are we really sure that that 's the one that committed this murder ? john : too many details at the scene are off . the red scarf instead of the red leotard , the cheap music box with no ballerina in it . bo : the victim had blood on her cheeks instead of makeup -- nora : john , what 's this ? john : bo found this at the docks near where jen was assaulted . we think the killer must have dropped it when he was getting away . nora : i 've seen a bag like this before . [ scene_break ] [ music plays ] gabrielle : oh , hello . al : hi . i 'm michael mcbain . we met at the hospital . gabrielle : yes . i remember . dr. mcbain , though , now , is n't it ? al : i 'm a first - year resident at llanview hospital . gabrielle : i do recall . i want to thank you for those kind words that you gave me in angel square , dr. mcbain . al : please , call me michael . i just wanted to see if -- if you were okay . gabrielle : i 'm -- i 'm holding up . okay . thank you . thank you for asking . al : you know , i -- i knew al a little . i thought you should know that he always spoke very highly of you and his father . gabrielle : thank you . i do n't mean to be rude . i have an appointment .

[ scene_break ] marcie : today we 're talking about campus date rape , and i 'd actually like to start with you , dr. cummings , because i recently read a study that said more than half of the rapes that were reported to police are committed by a friend or an acquaintance of the victim . is that true ? rae : unfortunately , marcie , that is true . and that 's just reported rapes . you know , sadly enough , it 's even more prevalent on college campuses . did you know that it is estimated that up to 95 % of rapes on college campuses are committed by someone that the victim knew ? marcie : no , i did n't know that . so , is that the actual definition of date rape ? it 's an acquaintance or a friend of the victim ? rae : it 's defined generally as a sexual act forced upon the victim by someone he or she knew . marcie : i think that is actually an important clarification . and i 'd like to turn now to our two student guests . we have greg johnson and kim watts . and why do n't we start with you , kim ? kim : well , personally , i think most of these so - called rapes could easily be avoided . greg : excuse me . so - called rapes ? kim : i just do n't see how you can call it a rape , the way these girls go around picking up guys , hanging at the kind of parties they do . i mean , frat stuff and all , drinking and taking drugs -- greg : wait a minute -- kim : these girls are so out of it , they do n't even know what 's happening to them . greg : since when is being under the influence an open invitation to sex ? rae : actually , in some states [ scene_break ] evangeline : scares the hell out of you ? then i 'm not sure i want to hear about this discovery of yours . antonio : all right . it sounds crazy . evangeline : all right , i 'm listening . antonio : all right , the first victim , susan gelman , she was a stripper at a bar in south jersey . evangeline : right . antonio : right . the second victim , lap dancer at a club in atlantic city . noralyn atkins . evangeline : okay , so the connection 's a line of work , but some of the other victims were totally different professions -- antonio : wait a second . hear me out , okay ? all right , i know it 's a stretch , right , but susan gelman , she was jewish . evangeline : so you 're thinking it 's a hate crime . but the second victim was n't jewish . antonio : i 'm going to get a little more specific than that . the first victim was jewish . second victim was named noralyn atkins . we both know someone named nora who is jewish . [ scene_break ] bo : where did you see this bag ? nora : troy had one . bo : are you sure ? nora : positive . john : who 's troy ? bo : troy maciver . he was a doctor here in llanview . he had a breakdown , ended up killing a woman who worked in his hospital because she threatened to expose him for sexual harassment . nora : almost killed gabrielle , too . bo : yeah . yeah , he was sick . and he had a thing for nora here . john : you think this is the same bag ? nora : well , it 's the same label . it 's the same lining , same type . john : any way this bag belongs to this guy maciver . nora : no , there 's absolutely no way it 's his . troy maciver is locked up in the maximum - security mental ward of statesville prison . [ scene_break ] dorian : we 're going to find adriana , i promise you . carlotta : we have to . if anything were to happen to that child -- dorian : i know that you 've recently lost your son , and nothing can bring him back , but we 're going to find adriana . carlotta : i knew you 'd help me . dorian : of course i will . [ scene_break ] paul : what 's so interesting in the living room ? river : it 's -- it 's not what it looks like . it 's nothing . paul : hey , if you want to listen to other people 's business , that 's totally up to you . just do n't get caught by it . [ phone rings ] paul : yeah , what is it ? babe : we need to meet . paul : is that really necessary ? babe : would i call if it was n't ? paul : where are you ? babe : i 'm at a place called bend an elbow . it 's on route 42 on the left , past 17 . paul : ca n't wait .

[ cell phone rings ] téa : ooh , sorry . blair : i 'm sure you are . téa : hello . starr : téa , it 's starr , and i really need your help . téa : what 's going on ? starr : it 's james . his father was murdered last night and now he 's going to the police station to talk to john , and i 'm really scared . téa : why ? starr : james was at the motel last night , téa . he was in the room where james ' dad was found dead . téa : okay , i 'll be right there . relax . keep calm . i 'll be right there . i got to go . james ford needs a lawyer . todd : thought you were my lawyer . téa : hopefully you wo n't need one . [ scene_break ] darren : as far as i know , the cops have n't made any arrests . i do n't even know if they have any suspects , but from what it sounds like , a lot of people had good reason to hate the guy . dani : why did n't you say anything to me if you already knew that your dad was dead ? nate : i guess i did n't think about it . dani : well , i know you 've got a lot going on right now , but would n't the fact that your dad was just murdered kind of be the main thing on your mind ? nate : i 'm sorry . dani : you do n't have to be sorry . i just want to know what 's going on . nate : i know . it 's just this is hard to talk about , so -- destiny : nate , i just found out . i 'm so sorry . nate : it 's okay . destiny : i mean , i know you did n't really know him or even like him , but he was your dad . it 's got ta hurt that he 's gone .

[ scene_break ] nate : thank you , destiny , but you 're right . i did n't know eddie . and i guess it 's kind of hard to feel sorry when someone you did n't know dies , especially when what you do know about them you hate . destiny : yeah . i mean , i feel horrible about my real mother dying , and i never knew her , but i know where you 're coming from . darren : still , when your father 's murdered -- nate : he was n't my father . that was about dna and bad luck , and about him getting murdered ? with all the people that eddie hurt , i 'm surprised it did n't happen sooner . [ scene_break ] john : come on in . we 'll talk in here . téa : are you questioning james ford ? starr : oh , téa , thank you so much for getting here so fast . téa : of course . i trust you told my client that he does n't have to tell you anything . john : well , he 's a big boy . should n't that be up to him ? she 's right . you do n't have to say anything to me , but if you do know something about your father 's death , you 'll be questioned eventually , so you can tell me now or you can tell me later . it makes no difference to me . téa : james , i would advise you not to say -- james : no , it 's okay . i want to talk . john : all right . starr , would you like to wait out here ? james : actually , i 'd prefer if she came in , if that 's okay . téa : yeah , i do n't see why that should be a problem . john : sure , why not ? come on in . téa : great . john : can i get you all something ? maybe a soda , cup of coffee ? james , would you like something ? james : i 'm good , thanks . john : all right , what do you know about your father 's death ? [ scene_break ] todd : to james ford , who probably decided to handle his daddy situation himself . ca n't say as i blame him either . blair : i just do n't understand why you 're avoiding my question here . todd : what was the question ? blair : i saw téa give you the big fish eye . now , what does she know that i do n't ? todd : probably a whole bunch about the law , my guess . blair : listen to me . did you kill eddie ford ? and if you did , why ? todd : why do you care who killed eddie ford or -- blair : because i want to know if the father of my children is gon na end up in prison again , todd ! todd : read my lips , blair . i did not kill eddie ford , but i would have if he had n't have followed my warning . blair : warning about what ? todd : about dani . [ scene_break ] dani : hey , maybe we should go get a latte or something ? nate ? i think that you need to let this news about your dad sink in . destiny : we should get going , too . can you give me a ride home ? darren : yeah , sure . destiny : are you okay ? matthew : yeah , i 'm fine . destiny : do you need a ride , too ? darren : he 's got his own car , destiny . matthew : do n't worry about me . i 'm leaving in a minute anyway . sorry for your bad news . nate : save it . do not pretend that you care about me or my family ... not after you 've been on my back for months and especially not after you said all that nasty stuff about my mother . dani : nate , come on , we should just go , okay ? let 's go . nate : i mean , what was that about anyways ? if there 's anybody who did n't deserve to be disrespected like that especially after everything that she has been through , it is my mother . dani : nate , let 's go . come on ! nate : where do you get off making up lies like that about her , calling her a whore ? matthew : yeah , 'cause she is a whore and a home wrecker . dani : matthew , really ? stop it ! matthew : his mom is sleeping with my dad ! [ scene_break ] inez : this is crazy . you think you can blackmail me by saying that you 're gon na implicate more than one of my sons in their father 's murder if i do n't let bo keep thinking we slept together ? clint : that 's about the size of it , yeah . inez : no one will believe you . it 's impossible . clint : are you so sure about that ? inez : yes . my sons had absolutely nothing to do with eddie 's death . i could n't be more certain .

[ scene_break ] natalie : i still do n't understand . what was nora doing in your car in the first place ? rex : okay , this is where everything gets crazy . nora told me before the crash that eddie was holding her at the minuteman -- natalie : wait . eddie ford ? rex : yeah , nora said that he kidnapped her , that he was trying to break up her and bo with these fake text messages . natalie : what ? rex : i know it sounds insane , but when i got to eddie 's room , she was tied , starved , gagged -- natalie : oh , my god ! the woman ! rex : what woman ? natalie : i worked the murder scene , and we found -- i found -- a red hair in the room . it must have been nora 's . [ scene_break ] bo : nora , i know that he kidnapped you . nora : it was more than that . bo : okay , honey , look , you do n't have to go into all this right now . nora : i need to go into it , and i want to go into it , okay ? bo : okay . nora : he said things to me , and , um ... and he -- he did things to me . bo : what did he do ? nora : the last time that he was there before he left , he , uh ... he ... he ... he -- he touched me . bo : oh , god , no . nora : he did n't rape me . he did n't rape me . he had to go to an appointment or something , and he said he would when he got back , but then rex ... came . uh ... but i never showed him how scared i was . bo : you do n't have to be scared anymore . he ca n't hurt you . nora : i just -- i wanted you to know so that you would lock him up for good , okay ? okay ? bo : honey , honey , eddie ford is dead . [ scene_break ] john : so let 's talk about the gun . james : okay , well , i found the gun in my dad 's duffel bag at the gym , and then after -- later , after the fight with bobby and after i knew my dad was n't going anywhere , i went to minuteman motel to kill him . starr : what ? no , you did n't . téa : james , stop , okay ? starr : no , téa , he did n't . he was just upset at the fact that his dad was talking so mean to me and langston and dani -- john : hey , hey . starr , whose interview is this ? let the kid talk , all right ? so did you kill him ? james : okay , this is what happened . i found my dad in his room . eddie 's voice : how 'd you get in here ? and what the hell are you doing with my gun ? james ' voice : what does it look like john : so you aimed the gun at your dad ? téa : jam , you can stop this at any moment . just say the word , okay ? james : yes , i -- i pointed the gun right at him . eddie 's voice : what are you gon na do , buddy boy ? shoot me . james ' voice : why should n't i ? you deserve it after the way you treated me all these years . you 're my dad . you 're supposed to love me ! but you beat me and you made me feel worthless ! eddie 's voice : what ? and this is supposed to make that all better ? james 's voice : hell , yes . if i kill you right now , i 'd be doing the whole world a favor . you ca n't stay in this town and torture me and bobby and nate and mom -- eddie 's voice : i ca n't believe it . you are still defending that bitch ! james ' voice : because of you i never got to have a mother ! eddie 's voice : she ran out on you ! james 's voice : no . you threw her out . she was n't strong enough to stand up to you , but now ... i 'm standing up to you . eddie 's voice : you know what ? just do it , okay ? shoot me . i dare you . james : then i pulled the trigger . téa : james , i think we should stop now , okay ? john : so then you killed him ? james : no . i , uh , no . okay i could n't do it . john : why not ? eddie 's voice : what 's the matter with you , freak show ? james ' voice : you 're not worth it . you 're not worth it one bit . i 've let you ruin enough of my life , and i wo n't let you ruin any more . i have things to live for now , and i 'm not gon na sacrifice my life for you . john : and then you left . james : not yet . james ' voice : get out of town before i change my mind or someone else comes up here with the same idea but goes through with it . starr : james . john : then what ? james : then i left . and that 's the last time that i saw him . téa : okay , john , that 's it . you got your statement . let 's go . james : okay . john : not so fast . [ scene_break ] natalie : we could n't find a murder weapon , but there was a slug in the wall and in eddie 's chest . rex : the wall ? natalie : a wild shot , i guess , but we 're testing it . rex : you and john make a great team . natalie : john will get his man . rex : or woman . [ scene_break ] john : where 's the gun ? james : i do n't know . i tossed it . john : tossed it where ? james : in the room before i ran out . i just tossed it on the floor , and i left . look , know that it sounds crazy giving the gun back to my psycho dad , but i just -- i wanted to get rid of it and get you out of there , and i was n't thinking beyond that , so ... john : hmm . no gun was found in the motel room , so what the hell happened to it ? [ scene_break ] natalie : without the murder weapon , there 's not a whole lot of evidence , especially if that red hair belongs to nora and not the murderer . rex : i still ca n't believe she was there . natalie : so tell me again , why did eddie kidnap nora ? rex : what nora told me was really nuts . i mean , she was pretty hyper when i found her . natalie : i mean , you said that she was tied up and gagged . i mean , that would make anyone kind of go a little crazy . rex : she was convinced that eddie did it to break up her and bo . natalie : well , that 's just totally insane . i mean , the idea that anyone could break up bo and nora . [ scene_break ] nate : take that back . matthew : it 's the truth . nate : there 's no way my mom had sex with your father , all right ? she 's a good person . she 's not a home wrecker . matthew : well , you 're wrong . dani : matthew , stop it . matthew : what ? it 's not like i 'm making this ups dani : how can you say this trash to nate now ? his father was just killed . matthew : who cares ? if he does n't give a damn , why should i ? dani : god , just do n't listen to him , okay ? do n't listen to him . he does not know what he 's saying . [ scene_break ] téa : my client 's already told you he left the gun at the scene . that 's all he knows . james : really . i do n't know what happened to it after i took off . starr : yeah , come on . is n't it obvious ? you left it there , someone else came in , picked it up , and that 's who shot your dad . [ scene_break ] todd : i ran into eddie ford the other day and i warned him to stay away from dani . blair : did he do something to her ? todd : well , she came home upset the other day and told us that he had said some creepy things to her . blair : god , no . todd : do n't worry about it . listen , if i wanted to kill him , why would i hire rex ? blair : well , maybe you just wanted to have him followed so you could get his routine down so you could figure out a plan to kill him and , you know , when and where . todd : that 's actually a good idea . blair : oh ... todd : but i did n't . i just wanted to scare him away . just wanted to keep him away from dani . blair : i understand that , todd , but -- todd : but what ? i mean , it 's probably james . i 'm probably right about it . he probably lost it and killed him . you know how many times i wanted to kill my dad ? blair : yeah ... todd : i mean , as far as i 'm concerned , he 's my hero . blair : what ? todd : james is a hero , man . dorian should give him the key to the city for cleaning up -- blair : do n't say that ! it 's gon na be hard enough for starr . it would be awful for her , todd 's another boy that she cares about ends up being a killer . todd : she sure can pick 'em , ca n't she ? must be genetic . blair : you want to explain the cufflink ? todd : what about it ? blair : how did it wind up at the scene of the crime ? todd : all i can tell you was i was n't there . somebody 's setting me up . blair : why would someone set you up , todd ? i mean , who would want to see you go down for murder ? todd : you want a list ? blair : well , that 's a good point . just promise me that you wo n't get yourself arrested . todd : you 're not gon na open it up ? blair : hell , no . i 've had all the surprises today that i can handle , thank you .

[ scene_break ] clint : what makes you so certain that none of your sons had anything to do with eddie 's murder ? inez : because i know my sons . they 're good boys . clint : you should tell that to the judge . inez : not even you could do this . you would n't use my son like this . clint : do n't test me . inez : you 're serious . clint : inez , just keep your mouth shut ! it 's simple . let bo continue to think that you slept together , all right ? if you do n't , i will tell the police about your precious sons . [ scene_break ] nate : what 's going on ? james : i can not believe that i dragged you into another crisis , starr , but i really did try to protect you . starr : james , when you stopped in the middle of telling that story , it scared me so much . i thought that you were going to tell john that you did shoot him , and i ... could n't lose you like i 've lost cole . james : that 's why i could n't do it . starr , that 's what stopped me . i thought about you .

[ scene_break ] starr : what do you mean ? you did n't kill your father for me ? james : starr , you lost cole because he pulled the trigger in a horrible moment . he had a monster in his face , and he just lost it . but i get that 'cause i wanted to pull that trigger so , so bad . but then i thought about cole . and i could never do that to you , starr . okay , not -- it 's not that you care about me the same way you do cole , but i just could n't put you through that , not again . and also , you know , it 's kind of selfish , but i thought about everything that cole lost because he did pull that trigger , and i could n't stand the thought of the same thing happening to me . [ scene_break ] matthew : i 'm sorry darren yelled at you . destiny : all i did was say i felt bad about nate 's dad getting killed . i 'm sick of being the bad guy when i did n't do anything wrong . matthew : i know the feeling . i just told nate his mom 's sleeping with my dad . destiny : you what ? matthew : i did n't mean to . it just came out . and the way dani and nate looked at me , they looked at me like i was the villain when all i did was tell the truth . destiny : well , your timing was pretty bad . but for what it 's worth , i 'm really sorry they made you feel that way . matthew : thanks . this sucks so much . i do n't know what i 'd do without you . destiny : me neither .

[ scene_break ] cristian : look , vanessa and i spent some time together in colombia -- not that anything happened . i would n't do that to sarah . antonio : right , because you love her . cristian : because i would n't do that . but vanessa saved my life , and then we got back here , we got close , and -- i 'm sorry about sarah , but -- antonio : look , save it , okay ? you 're doing it so that vanessa and lola do n't get deported . cristian : we 're not having this conversation . antonio : yes , we are . cristian : antonio , you 're a cop . you 're the chief of detectives . i 'm not discussing this with you . i 'm not getting you involved . antonio : i 'm your brother . cristian : i did n't have a choice . antonio : there are worse things than getting deported . cristian : you 're right , there are . like vanessa getting a death threat right before the hearing . [ scene_break ] layla : okay , so he shows up at the deportation hearing and tells the judge he 's marrying her ? sarah : yep . so she can stay here in this country instead of going back to the dangers of colombia . but you did n't hear that from me . talia : yeah , um , there 's a -- there 's a problem with this plan . layla : uh - huh , aside from the fact that it is illegal , and he 's breaking your heart . talia : the problem is , that whoever 's threatening vanessa is obviously already here . sarah : i did n't say it made sense . layla : so what are you going to do ? sarah : if he goes through with it , i do n't know , i -- i guess we 're done . talia : who is this téa delgado person ? sarah : apparently , she 's vanessa 's lawyer . talia : so wait , she 's representing vanessa now ? sarah : yeah , i guess . if she had n't shown up , they would be back in colombia by now . layla : oh , honey , than this téa 's got to go . [ scene_break ] blair : she 's a shark . and i know , all lawyers are sharks , but she takes the cake . i mean , you know what , if she gets todd off , what happens to my kids , huh ? i mean , at least if he 's put away , locked up , there 's a chance that they 're going to have , like , a halfway normal life . but if téa delgado puts him back out on the streets -- john : push her out a window ? blair : do n't you hit me . [ téa screams ] blair : you know about that ? john : yeah , someone might 've mentioned it to me . blair : that window thing -- that was -- an accident . john : well , remind me to stay on your good side . blair : come on , john , you know i 'd never throw you out a window . [ scene_break ] margaret : i 'm in your head for good , todd . we had a child together , which is more than you and marty can say . besides , i 've changed . todd : no , you have n't changed . margaret : and if i were still alive , i would be different . todd : you have n't changed , and i 'll never want you . you just -- you make me want to puke , margaret . if you were n't already dead , i 'd kill you . margaret : now you know how marty feels . guard : manning ! it 's time for court . [ scene_break ] téa : i did n't fly to todd 's defense . i happened to be in town when i heard that he was in jail . i visited him out of curiosity more than anything else , but when i learned that he was n't hiring an attorney , it became clear to me that he was in some kind of altered state . and no , by that , i do n't mean that he was unable to tell right from wrong . i mean , he was unable to act on his own behalf , which is why i stepped in . marty : i see , so you 're just an angle of mercy . téa : every defendant deserves -- marty : you ? i admit i fell for him , but i did n't know what he had done to me . i did n't know who he was . you knew everything about todd . how could you let yourself get involved with him ? téa : he can be very charming . i guess i overestimated my ability to walk away from him . marty : well , i could n't walk away from him . and when i could move around , he posted a guard , an armed guard outside my door , which means effectively , i was a prisoner . and then he lied to me . he told me i had no friends , he told me i had no family . and then he brainwashed me into believing that he was the only one that could keep me safe from enemies that he invented . that 's why i believe that he raped me all over again . and you want to defend him ? how could you possibly think you are doing the right thing ? téa : i 'm just curious , marty . are you angry at me for representing todd or are you just jealous as hell that once upon a time he was all mine .

[ scene_break ] inez : why would matthew buchanan gossip about his father like that ? nate : he was pretty ticked at him . inez : but to say something like that ? i could have been , you know , with a friend in ohio , visiting or something . nate : but you were n't . and he seemed pretty sure about it . inez : this is not the first time this boy has given you problems . nate : he 's been on my case ever since i started dating dani , but what he was saying , mom ... i mean , the commissioner was here when i got home early this morning , and the excuse you gave me was kind of lame , plus i saw his gun and his holster on the couch . inez : okay , we are not talking about my boss , but we do need to talk about eddie .

[ scene_break ] john : oh , boy , how about christmas ? you want to tell people then ? natalie : ha . do n't you like having a little secret ? i mean , it 's not like people do n't know we 're together . i mean , we 're together . john : yeah . yeah , i know we 're together . it 's just you know we 're gon na have to tell people , eventually . i mean , unless you want to get married on our lunch break or something . natalie : we 'll tell people . i just need to make sure i stop anyone from interfering first . john : who 's gon na interfere ? [ scene_break ] marty : do you know how paranoid this sounds ? todd : well , then , it should be right up your alley . marty : what , that i would kill a man just to send you to prison ? todd : you broke into my house , stole my cufflink , and then you planted it next to eddie ford 's corpse . yeah , i 'm not saying the guy did n't deserve it , but i 'm not going down for it . [ scene_break ] natalie : my uncle 's a suspect ? john : it was his cufflink i found at the scene . natalie : did he know eddie ford ? john : this guy eddie , he had 3 sons , right ? natalie : robert ford ... john : right , who is still on the list . and there 's this guy james who claims he 's in love with starr , and there 's this other son named nate who apparently is dating dani , and we all know todd 's track record with his daughter 's boyfriends . natalie : there 's his motive . john : mm - hmm . you got anything back from the lab ? natalie : not yet . i was hoping to get something back on the hair samples that we found at the house , but i 'm pretty sure that they 're nora 's . john : okay . natalie : it 's just why would eddie ford kidnap the d.a . ? and is that why he was murdered ? [ scene_break ] clint : nora , does your kidnapping have anything to do with eddie 's murder ? bo : no . balsom got in , got nora out before eddie was even killed . clint : what about the accident ? bo : they were trying to avoid an oncoming car . clint : how 's rex ? nora : he 's gon na be fine , thank god . if we had n't been wearing seat belts , it would have been a different story , but -- clint : now , what makes you think that eddie abducted you so he could break up your marriage ? nora : it was just bizarre . he took my cell phone and he started sending bo all these horrible text messages and stuff . how did he even know we had fought , you know ? unless ... inez overheard us and ... i mean , what other explanation could there be ? bo : kidnapping is a criminal offense . inez is no criminal . clint : well , when people do things , they 're not always thinking about the law and everything . you know , i do n't want to accuse anybody here , but if you 're looking for somebody with a motive , i do n't think it 's any great secret that inez has a thing for you , bo . [ scene_break ] nate : what does eddie have to do with this ? inez : the man is dead . nate : good . clint : all you have to do is keep bo thinking that your relationship was indeed consummated . inez : and if i do n't ? clint : well , then i will have to tell the police that your son was at the scene of his father 's murder . nate : i know how that sounds , but i can not pretend that i 'm sad about it . inez : nate ... did you go to his room last night ? [ scene_break ] james : i know how much you wanted to protect me from dad , and this morning you said that he was never gon na touch me again . ford : james , i was in the e.r . all night , so even if i wanted to finish him off ... james : yeah , i , uh , i guess you 're right . i guess we 're not the only ones who wanted him dead . [ scene_break ] john : so this guy james claims he put a bullet in the wall and left the gun with his father and he took off . natalie : and you believe him ? john : i suppose it 's possible . natalie : well , if that 's true , then that means the killer 's still out there . john : yeah , which means i got work to do . natalie : all right . john : natalie . john : let me know when you want to tell your folks . natalie : come on , marty . why are you ignoring me ? [ scene_break ] marty : i read about it , and i 've seen pieces of it in some of my patients , but wow , a full - blown case . todd : right -- of payback , right ? marty : no , of projection . todd : what 's projection ? marty : you 're blaming me for something you 've done . you killed eddie ford , and you ca n't face it , so you 've convinced yourself that i 'm setting you up 'cause , of course , everything that goes wrong in your life is my fault , right ? but the truth of the matter is , you killed him . [ scene_break ] james : call me and let me know if you want me to pick up food or anything , okay ? ford : thanks .

[ scene_break ] marty : what happened , todd ? why did you kill eddie ford ? todd : no . i did n't kill eddie ford . marty : sure you did , maybe because he 's a bully and abuses his sons . did it bring back memories of your fath -- todd : hey , hey , hey , hey ! stop it . no , i 'm not gon na listen to a quack like you . you definitely set me up and you were trying to get back at me for putting out that restraining order on you . marty : that you tricked starr into signing ? todd : you know , i notice she has n't revoked it . realizes how vindictive you are . marty : i 'm not vindictive . todd : you unleashed hannah , nearly got her and hope killed . marty : she knows that was not my intention . todd : remember , i know you , marty . i know how your mind works . somebody hurts you , you never let it go . and it 's only a matter of time before i find somebody -- a colleague , former patient , a neighbor -- someone who 's willing to talk . huh ? i 'm gon na make sure starr knows that you 're as dangerous as your trigger - happy son . marty : wait a minute . `` no matter how long it takes `` ? are you having me investigated ?

[ scene_break ] john : hey . what happened to no stress , all right ? i was here when the doctor said no stress . you know what talking about investigation does ? stress . that equals stress . téa : i am stressed because the wrong man is taking responsibility for a crime he did n't commit . the sooner we close in on todd , the less stressed i will be . john : you 're making me stressed , all right ? and that 's some crazy logic , but i will humor you , okay ? all right , so , we sent blair 's computer to the bureau -- some techs i know there , all right ? we 're gon na try to pinpoint tomás ' location at the time of the video chat with blair . téa : anything else ? john : yeah , but i ca n't talk to you about it . listen . listen , all right ? i do n't want to get your hopes up until we have something concrete . you know , be less stressful that way . for both of us . mostly me . téa : i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to put pressure on you , especially after everything you 've done for me . john : well ... that 's nice . you 're welcome . téa : but you need to stop hovering , all right ? it 's almost christmas . you have a son , you have natalie -- i do n't want to keep you from them .

[ scene_break ] jack : you know , saying it does n't mean it 's true . todd : what ? the whole father / son thing ? jack : you are not my father . victor was my father . todd : no , but i 'm the one protecting you now , right ? i 'm the one looking out for you . i 'm the one keeping you out of jail , and you know why i 'm doing that , jack ? jack : no . i do n't know . todd : because i care about you . i 'd hate to see you , you know , throw your whole life away , and that 's exactly what would happen if i came forward with what i know . and i 'm not just talking about , you know , trying to burn this place down , but all that nonsense with gigi morasco -- jack : would you stop throwing that in my face ? what , do you think i do n't feel bad enough already ? [ knock on door ] todd : come in . jack : neela . hey . what are you doing here ? neela : i went by your house . your mom said you were here working ... with your ... dad ? todd : hi . yeah . um , you know , it 's just ... the old man showing him the ropes . you gon na introduce me ? jack : this is my friend from school , neela patel . todd : patel ? neela : yes . my brother vimal works with you . todd : oh . great . nice to meet you . neela : nice to meet you . i came by to ask if you wanted to have lunch . jack : well , first you 're gon na have to ask scrooge here . he 's the one making me work the whole week before christmas . todd : well , somebody 's got to pay for all those presents . speaking of -- maybe i should just go drop them off right now . you two make yourself at home in my office . mi office es su office . here . look . some menus . you know ? you can order whatever you want and put it on my tab . neela : that does n't sound like scrooge . jack : yeah , whatever . thanks ! neela : i do n't understand . i thought you hated him . what happened ? [ scene_break ] téa : was that a message about the case ? john : huh ? no . it was natalie . téa : why do n't you call her back ? i 'm still waiting for the paperwork . john : she said just to call her later . téa : well , why wait ? it could be about liam . john : it 's not about liam . i checked in on him about six times already today . he 's fine . téa : you must be thrilled to have him back in your life . john : there 's nothing better . téa : and natalie ? john : what about her ? téa : well , she 's called you twice , and you have n't called her back . john : yes , i know . understand this -- she 's the one that does not want to talk to me . téa : but she 's calling you -- john : no , listen . she -- i do n't know why i 'm telling you this . apparently , i 'm a little stressed . but here it goes . but from the moment that i found out the truth about liam , i told natalie that i want to talk to her -- i want to talk to her about us . and she cut me off . she said she did n't want to hear about it , all right ? so there 's the end of the story . do n't -- do n't say anything . [ scene_break ] clint : it sounds like your sister was a big help . natalie : yeah , she was . as soon as i was done talking to her , i gave john a call . clint : and what did he say ? natalie : unfortunately , it was not a good time for him to talk . clint : but you 're gon na try again . natalie : i did . i called and texted , but i have n't heard back from him . clint : well , i hope that does n't stop you , honey . natalie : where do you think i 'm going ? i 'm gon na track john down and talk to him in person . [ scene_break ] téa : so what natalie said days ago and what she might say now could be two entirely different things . women have been known to change their minds . john : okay . maybe she 's pretty stubborn . téa : and she 's been calling you constantly . john : okay . so maybe it 's something i do n't want to talk about on the phone . téa : okay , so , then maybe you 're the one who 's stubborn . because from where i 'm sitting -- not that you 've asked my advice -- you 're the one avoiding the conversation . [ scene_break ] rex : oh , this is great . gigi would be so psyched . shane : so when 's the judge gon na get here ? noelle : oh , well , he was supposed to be here a while ago , but it 's been a long morning and the bon jour is his last stop . i only hope his taste buds are n't all worn out by now . moe : do n't you worry . this baby will wake them up , i tell you . shane : can we get a piece , too ? noelle : oh , not just a piece . i got a whole pie for you , one for your dad , and viki , too . you can all take them with you on the plane today . shane : are you gon na be on our flight ? viki : no . i had not planned on that , no . moe : can you talk to her ? we have been trying to convince her to go home and patch things up with clint . viki : moe , i thought we agreed we were n't gon na talk about it anymore . moe : oh . i forgot . rex : hey , guys . an official - looking car just pulled up . it 's got to be the judge , right ? noelle : oh ! oh , my gosh . okay . this is it . shane : do n't worry . viki : you 've got this in the bag . moe : absolutely . noelle : thank you . honey , i want you to know that if i win this today , it is because your mama is here watching over us . rex : welcome to the bon jour . i 'm rex balsom . prof. fina : oh , well , professor delbert fina , jr . rex : do i know you from somewhere ? [ scene_break ] stacy : i just feel so bad about callie . she gave us jobs when we did n't even have any references or anything . cutter : and i washed like a ton of dishes . look -- i 've got dishpan hands to prove it . stacy : we ca n't just run off without letting her know . i have to at least return my uniform . cutter : just leave it . the maid will find it . she 'll bring it back to the bon jour . stacy : no . i ca n't . i ca n't . why do n't you just go to the airport and get us , like , some cheap flight somewhere , and i 'll meet you there ? cutter : stacy , that 's crazy . i mean , what if you run into -- [ knock on door ] man : sorry to disturb you , but there 's a problem with your card . cutter : my card ? man : the credit card you gave us last night . it did n't go through . cutter : did n't you guys run it when i first checked in ? stacy ! wait ! [ scene_break ] téa : do n't ignore this , mcbain . she is reaching out to you . john : whoa , whoa . no . she 's not . she 's not reaching out to me . you know how i know this ? because when i reached out to her , she shot me down . hey -- i like pain as much as the next guy , but i do n't want that to happen again , okay ? beyond all this , i 'm on the clock . i have work to do . and right now , that job is to find your damn brother . téa : okay , detective . and when we do , we can finally put todd behind bars for killing my husband . [ scene_break ] jack : he figured it out . neela : who figured what out ? jack : scarface . he knows i set that fire , so he made me a deal . i work here every day for basically the rest of my life , and he does n't go to the cops . neela : but that 's -- jack : blackmail . the worst part about it is he thinks that if i work here a lot , i 'm gon na , like , change my mind about him -- accept him as my father . neela : does n't look like it 's working . jack : he 'll never be my father . my father 's dead . but at least i know scarface did n't kill him . you want to order ? neela : so many places . how do we choose ? jack : i say we go with the most expensive . neela : look . an indian restaurant . vimal and rama were talking about this one . jack : i do n't know much about indian food . you might have to help me out with this . neela : no problem . maybe we can start with bhindi jaipuri then daal shorba , then maybe tikka masala . you 've had curry before , right ? jack : i think so . neela : do you like it mild , medium , or hot ? jack : hot . neela : we should probably order medium , just to be on the safe side . jack : i 'm really glad you came , neela . neela : so am i . [ scene_break ] cutter : just take that . that should cover it , all right ? i got to go . rex : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to stare . i just feel like maybe we 've met before . noelle : how do you do ? i 'm the proud baker , noelle ortiz - stubbs . prof. fina : delbert fina , jr . professor , author , and pie aficionado . noelle : right this way . moe : welcome to our humble establishment , professor . i 'm noelle 's husband , moe , and these are some of our friends . prof. fina : which one is -- oh , yes -- gigi . viki : oh , uh , gigi is no longer with us , i 'm sorry to say . but noelle has created this magnificent pie in her memory . prof. fina : hm . well . she must have been a very , uh , well , special person . rex : she was . shane : and a great mom . prof. fina : tell me about what you like to call the -- ah , yes -- the gigi morasco special . noelle : well , it is an irresistible blend of sweet and tart , just like she was . prof. fina : well , let 's -- shall we put it to the test ? oh . oh . [ clears throat ] oh , excellent texture , and it 's so nice -- the tart and the , uh , sweet . you only get that in chinese food . you never find it in a pie . so , uh , well , let 's try the crust . if i could just get it on my -- oh , light , flaky . mmm ! something in there . it 's , uh , what is it ? is it curry ? is it cardamom ? noelle : sorry . my secret . prof. fina : well , it 's -- it 's great . it 's up against some very fine contenders , as you can see . so , um ... hmm . well , i think -- perhaps another bite . i mean , just to be sure . [ clears throat ] i have , uh , uh , made my decision . the winner of the 2011 paris , texas , bake - off is ... the gigi morasco special . [ cheers and applause ] noelle : thank you . prof. fina : you are welcome , and it is , indeed , very special . and after tasting 12 pies in 3 hours , i ought to know . noelle : [ laughs ] oh ! thank you so much ! shane . shane : thanks . noelle : of course . rex : glad we came ? shane : mom would have loved this . you know what ? for the first time in a while , i actually feel happy . rex : yeah , me too .

[ scene_break ] prof. fina : so , uh , nice to meet you all . rex : same here . you know , i am still trying to figure out where i know you from . prof. fina : well , some people say that i resemble my father , professor delbert fina , sr . see , he , uh , he wrote a book you have read , `` mysteries of time . `` rex : you do look alike . prof. fina : yes , my father was a great seeker of the truth . he , uh , devoted his life to unraveling the , uh , what 's it called ? oh , yes . your face reminds me -- the puzzles of the universe . you can keep that book . noelle : oh , you can read it on the plane . rex : thank you , professor . i appreciate this . prof. fina : i , myself , am about to take a flight . viki : really ? where are you going ? prof. fina : oh , arizona . and as soon as i can find where i put my glasses -- viki : i 've got it . prof. fina : you 've got my glasses ? viki : no . i know where rex thinks he knows you from . rex , the professor looks exactly like delphina . he could be her twin brother . rex : you 're right ! there 's a - a - a psychic back from where we 're from , llanview , pennsylvania . some people think she 's pretty good . you do look just like her . moe : well , you know what they say -- everybody 's got a double somewhere . [ scene_break ] stacy : this place meant so much to my sister . cutter : yeah , i guess it did . stacy : it just makes me wonder if i stayed , maybe it would have meant a lot to me , too .

marcie : eric . hi . yeah , i -- i just forgot to thank you for the balloons . no , nothing 's wrong . no . i guess maybe i was just hoping that i could get a little advice from my big brother . it 's about michael . i feel like i 'm losing him , and i do n't really know what to do about it . [ scene_break ] paige : hey , michael ? i just heard from the hospital board . michael : okay . give it to me straight . am i allowed to practice medicine or not ? [ scene_break ] daniel : working late tonight ? bo : you know , unless i 'm wrong , we still have two high - profile murder investigations that are wide open , and my nephew 's son is still missing . daniel : it was just an observation , bo . bo : all right . you had any luck tracking down that bank account that cramer was putting money in ? nora : daniel ? i need to talk to you . i 'm sorry . i 'm obviously interrupting . bo : no , go ahead , talk . nora : no , it 's okay , i 'll wait . bo : no , you 're here . why do n't you say what you have to say ? nora : i 'll wait . it 's fine . daniel : would you guys please tell me what the hell is going on ? [ scene_break ] kevin : yeah , well , i 'm paying you to keep track of my wife , so why is it that i know more about what she 's doing than you do ? no , my son came back alone from wherever he was meeting kelly . i want her found now . blair : oh , what 's wrong , kevin ? lose track of an ex - wife ? kevin : oh , you look like you 're one ex - husband short yourself . blair : now that we got the cheap shots out of the way , why do n't you come inside and buy me a drink . [ scene_break ] daniel : well ? bo : well , when you finish this discussion here , then -- well , i 'll be in my office . daniel : okay . okay , i 'm listening . nora : well , as you might have gathered , bo and i had a fight . a knockdown- dragout , years - in - the - making fight , but that 's not important right now . daniel : well , it is if we 're going to continue to work together . nora : well , then i guess i owe you two apologies . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to lash out at you when you said that i was holding out hope for bo and me to get together . there might have been more to it than i thought . daniel : maybe . nora : well , what i realized tonight , finally , was that bo and i were right when we got divorced . he 's my past . you 're part of my future , and i really want to focus on you . daniel : nora , slow down . nora : okay , what does that mean ? daniel : hey , i want to focus on us , too . but with the notoriety surrounding these two murder investigations , and you and bo obviously at each other 's throats , we 're really not going to get very far . nora : you 're right again . daniel : i love when you say that . but , anyway , what do you say we go make some peace ? after you . [ knock on door ] bo : yeah , come in . nora : bo , we 're two adults and we have jobs to do . i think we can leave our personal baggage at the door . bo : i could n't agree more . nora : fine . daniel : great . so what do you say we concentrate on the cramer murder ? bo : all right , what about those bank deposits ? daniel : sorry , bo , it was a dead end . bo : wait a minute , are you telling me that cramer collected all that money and you ca n't find it ? [ scene_break ] riley : thought you were going to bed . jen : i could n't sleep . where did you go ? you were gone when i went downstairs . riley : to take a walk . you looking for something ? jen : oh , it 's no big deal . riley : i think it 's a very big deal . [ scene_break ] marcie : what do you mean ? no , i 'm not -- i 'm not comparing him to al . [ scene_break ] paige : well , i would n't hang up your stethoscope just yet . the board found no evidence of negligence on your part the night tico santi was murdered . michael : yes ! of course they did n't . paige : i know it was very difficult for you to stand up in front of the board with this . but you know what , after your 90-day probation period , your record is going to be -- michael : 90-day probation period ? paige : yeah , standard procedure . michael : for what ? you just said that i was cleared of all wrongdoing , so what am i on probation for ? paige : michael , it 's -- michael : a man 's life - support system was pulled . i do n't see why i should have to pay for that . paige : you 're not . the board just wants to keep an eye -- michael : just wants to cover their butts . paige : you know what ? this could 've turned out a lot worse than it did . you should remember that . [ scene_break ] marcie : i do n't even know who michael is anymore . he 's -- he 's always angry . i know . i know , i know i should be talking to him about this . listen , i got to go , okay ? i love you , and tell james i said hi . okay , bye . hey . michael : talking to your brother on the phone ? marcie : yeah . dr. miller is almost ready to discharge me , so i thought maybe we could go somewhere and we could talk about some things . michael : i ca n't . marcie : why ? did you hear from the board ? michael : the good news is that i 'm still allowed to practice medicine . the bad news is i 'm on a leash , a very short leash . [ scene_break ] riley : this has the initials p.c . on it . this is paul cramer 's , is n't it ? be serious ! my dad 's asking me all these questions about you and paul , and i find this in your purse . jen : i told you a million times that i did n't kill paul . you said you believed me . riley : and i still do . jen : then why are you accusing me ? riley : i 'm not accusing you , but i have to know how you got this . now , be straight with me . jen : okay . that night that i got paul drunk , when i stole the videotape of rex and my mom , i guess i must 've accidentally taken it from the motel room . riley : and you 've been carrying it around for months . why ? jen : i was scared , riley . i did n't know what to do with it . and then once paul turned up dead , everyone would think that -- that i killed him if they knew that i had that . i guess i was right . [ scene_break ] bo : what happened to your friends in the banking industry ? daniel : i called every one of them . bo : and they could n't help us follow that money ? daniel : they traced the number to the robert morris savings bank in philadelphia . they said they did n't have any record of the account . they said a computer worm corrupted their files a little while back , maybe our account was among them . that means we 've got zip . nora : so paul cramer was broke ? bo : i checked every person that was in cramer 's room , and that bank statement did not belong to any of them . it had to be paul 's . now , he was extorting money from someone , and someone was willing to pay him . nora : then why would he be going after the cramers or kevin just before he was killed ? bo : because he 's a greedy little bastard . now , are you sure that you checked every angle ? daniel : look , bo , what do you want , a transcript of all the telephone calls i made ? bo : no , i want things to make sense here , and this does n't . nora : okay , it 's not daniel 's fault . bo : i did n't say that . nora : it was your lead that turned into a wild - goose chase . bo : yeah , well , you did n't say that before . nora : okay , bo , this is n't personal . bo : the hell this is n't personal . that bank statement is a flashing neon sign that points straight to paul cramer 's killer . now , if you can get over your ridiculous need to be right all the time , then maybe we could catch this son of a bitch . [ scene_break ] michael : i 'm on a 90-day probation , which means no unscheduled breaks . marcie : well , that is n't fair , is it ? michael : well , it is what it is . i got to be on my best behavior , no mistakes . marcie : you know what ? you 'll get through it . i believe in you . paige : marcie , i have -- i have your discharge papers here . i just need a few john hancocks , a final exam , and then you 're out of here . marcie : sounds good . paige : great . michael : i got to go check on a patient . i 'll come back and check on you before you take off , okay ? marcie : promise ? [ scene_break ] michael : hey , jen . jen : is marcie still here ? michael : yeah , yeah . she 's just finishing up with the doctor . are you okay ? you do n't look so good . jen : i just -- i feel like i do n't have anybody to talk to . i do n't know where else to go . [ scene_break ] kevin : well , you may not believe this , blair , but i am sorry for what you 're going through right now . blair : well , you 're right . i do n't believe it . kevin : you ever consider that maybe it 's for the best ? blair : oh , yeah , right . my children have been abandoned by their father , starr is not sleeping . yeah , it 's for the best . kevin : well , he would 've hurt you all eventually . blair : oh , so better now than later ? is that what you 're saying ? kevin : well , i 'm just saying that i 'm sorry for what you and the kids are going through . i 'm not surprised , but i do n't know what else to say . blair : well , why do n't you stop playing the innocent ? because i know you and todd went at it before the wedding , and i know what you probably did . you played on all of his insecurities , told him that he would eventually screw it up . kevin : was i wrong ? blair : you practically pushed him out the door yourself . so , here 's to you , kevin . for the second year in a row , you have ruined the holidays for my family . satisfied ? [ scene_break ] jen : i 'm sorry . michael : you do n't have anything to be sorry about . what 's going on ? jen : nothing . michael : listen , i am your doctor . you can talk to your doctor , ca n't you ? jen : it 's just -- michael : i 'm also your friend . jen : do you know what it 's like to have people not trust you , to assume the worst about you ? i mean , you start to second - guess yourself . you start to think , `` maybe they 're right , maybe there 's a reason i ca n't be trusted . `` michael : i know exactly what that feels like . you want to walk me over to x - ray ? i 'll spring for a cup of vending machine coffee . come on . you 've never had coffee till you 've had coffee at the x - ray . [ scene_break ] nora : oh , so now i 'm the one that 's not seeing things clearly and objectively ? bo : yep . nora : i 'm not the one that 's saying it 's daniel 's fault because your lead flamed out . bo : there is a bank account out there somewhere and it points straight to cramer 's killer . nora : i 'm sure there 's a big conspiracy involved , too , and it involves a grassy knoll and a magic bullet and the c.i.a . ! ugh . i 'm sorry . daniel , can you excuse us for a minute , please ? daniel : sure . no cream here , anyway . nora : we ca n't go on like this , bo . bo : i know . nora : it 's interfering in our work , it 's interfering in our relationships . what is matthew going to say when he finds out his parents have declared world war iii on each other ? bo : well , what are we going to do about it ?

[ scene_break ] kevin : i did n't ruin your family 's happiness . todd did . blair : oh , but you pushed him right along , did n't you , kevin ? kevin : well , todd and i have been going at it for years . i guess i should feel flattered that you think i have so much influence over him . i mean , seriously , i would 've thought he 'd gone through with the wedding just to prove me wrong . blair : you are just so sweet . kevin : and you know what ? as long we 're talking about this time last year , do i need to remind you that you 're the one that threw yourself at me ? so you know what ? before you blame someone else , maybe you should look in the mirror . maybe you should look at what you 've done to push todd away . blair : okay , you know what ? i 've got the news flash for you . you 're the expert on pushing people away -- you are -- and ruining marriages . look what you did to kelly all year long . you made her miserable just because you could . and then you lecture me about what a bastard todd is ? hell , kevin , you 're just like him . kevin : all right , wait , blair . listen , i meant what i said , all right ? i am sorry that you are going through so much pain right now , for whatever it 's worth . blair : not much . margaret : oh , hi , blair . blair : margaret , i think we need to have a little talk .

[ scene_break ] margaret : is there something wrong , blair ? blair : do n't play dumb , margaret . i 'm sure you 've already heard how todd left me at the altar . margaret : oh , no , blair . that 's just awful ! blair : now i 'm sure you know . margaret : no , i did n't . i swear i -- i meant it from the bottom of my heart when i said that i wished you and todd all the happiness in all the world . blair : well , i mean this from the very bottom of mine . you listen up , you crazy bitch . you stay away from me , you stay away from my family . because now that todd 's not in the picture , i swear to god i will come after you and i will kill you with my bare hands if you come near my family . margaret : yes , i placed a takeout order . bartender : oh , um -- margaret : the name is margaret . bartender : yeah . i 'll be right back . kevin : hey , margaret . margaret : oh -- kevin , i did n't see you there . i guess i 'm preoccupied . i ca n't wait to get home to my boyfriend . kevin : you got a boyfriend ? margaret : oh , well , he 's actually more than a boyfriend . he is the love of my life . we 're thinking about settling down together .

[ scene_break ] riley : no , marcie , i do n't think she killed paul cramer . but something 's freaking her out , and every time i try to bring it up , she either changes the subject or takes off . marcie : can you blame her , though , i mean , especially after what he did to her mom ? riley : well , listen ; when you get out of here , will you keep an eye on her for me ? marcie : yeah , of course , sure . riley : good . she needs somebody in her corner and i 'm just not sure i 'm that person right now . marcie : you know , jen loves you . riley : well , i love her , and i want to help her with whatever is eating her up inside , but i ca n't if she wo n't let me . [ scene_break ] michael : who knows ? maybe next time i 'll splurge and get us some green cafeteria jell - o . you 're not a very talkative date -- every man 's dream , i guess . jen : yeah , i guess i just needed somebody to sit with me who was n't -- michael : involved in the situation . jen : exactly . michael : yeah . i know what you mean . you know , marcie and i -- we 've been totally out of synch lately , you know ? we used to be able to just sit in a room together and not say a word , and that was okay . we were close ; we knew it . we just felt it . jen : that is exactly the feeling i miss . michael : you 'll get that feeling back . jen : so will you . thanks . michael : any time . hayes : michael . michael : hayes . hayes : hey , does marcie know you 've got a hot new girlfriend ?

prof. fina : her heart and her mind are in conflict . she seems to be looking for some answers , but , well , something was getting in the way . or perhaps , i should say , someone . viki : so , i decide that charlie and all my friends in paris , texas , they were right -- that i should give clint another chance . david : there 's your first mistake . viki : and i convinced myself that kim was no longer a threat . david : and that 's your second . viki : david , i was so excited coming home on the plane , you know ? clint had said that he loved me and he wanted me , and then i rushed into the house to see him . and there he was -- kissing kim . he had sworn to me that she had written him off , and there she was in my living room with -- david : his tongue jammed down her throat . viki : you know , if they think they 're gon na sleep in my guest room and carry on in my house -- david : viki , you are looking at this all wrong . you just dodged a bullet . kim : well ? what 's the verdict ? clint : i 'm sorry , kimberly . kim : well , that does n't sound too good . let me give it another shot . clint : please . the kisses are wonderful , but the woman i want to spend my life with is viki . kim : you 're just saying that because you 've been stuck here and you do n't want to parade me around this house . not that the old ball - and - chain would allow it . clint : kimberly . kim : and it 's not a problem . i 've been thinking . you 've been so good since you 've been sentenced , so all we have to do is ask the judge to let you move in with me . clint : it has nothing to do with my house arrest . i have n't even thought about that . the fact is i want to be with viki . kim : no , you do n't . david : i thought we talked about this . clint is a monster . he kidnapped me . all those months in a moroccan hellhole ? viki : but he 's being punished for that . david : how is he being punished ? by living in your house and being waited on hand and foot ? he sicced eddie ford on step - nora . he changed your grandson 's paternity test . viki : and he apologized for that . david : oh , that 's all a man has to do now , huh ? apologize . a man has to change , viki , or he 's dead to you -- dead . i learned that when i was a buddhist . viki : i thought he had changed . david : i saw this when i was here on election day . it 's stockholm syndrome right here in llanview . idea for thriller -- locked away with her villainous ex - husband , a beautiful and sexy , but not so smart woman falls for her captor . viki : you 're probably right . david : viki , trust me . when you saw clint locking lips with kim , that was a gift . kim : look at this place , clint . it 's a christmas card . the christmas tree 's in the same old place , and the kids are stopping by , and viki 's heating up the eggnog . it 's familiar and it 's getting to you . but trust me , clint , once new year 's rolls around , you 'll be looking for someone new to rustle your tinsel . she 's your past . i 'm your future . clint : kimberly , you can keep second - guessing me all you want , but it wo n't change the fact that i 'm in love with viki . david : i 'll bet that kiss - off letter from kim was all a trick just to make you believe that it was over . viki : no , clint would n't do that . david : did you actually read the letter ? viki : no . he read it to me . david : so there could have been anything on that piece of paper . viki : but why would he do that if he 's still interested in kim ? david : so somebody would n't kick him out of her house while he 's macking on a certain stripper . viki , you got to see this . he used you . and you 're the one who let him in in the first place . it 's like asking idi amin over for téa . idea for biopic -- téa with idi amin . clint is a horrible , horrible person and you 're lucky to be rid of him . viki : [ sobbing ] david : oh , viki . rex : how stupid do you think i am ? amnesia ? please . you 've been helping cutter . stacy : cutter 's been helping me . rex : you both tried to trick me ! stacy : no , that was just cutter . i did n't know what was going on at first , and then once i found out , i refused , so he backed off . rex : backed off ? you 're stalking me . stacy : rex , i have been going out of my way to avoid you . i do n't want to hurt you . i knew that seeing this ... i could n't go back to llanview , so cutter and i , we spun a globe and my finger landed on paris , texas . aubrey : so , you 're gon na help your dad say goodbye to your mom ? how ? shane : i have this plan . it 's kind of like his christmas present , if it 'll work in time . aubrey : well , i 'm pretty good at keeping secrets . you want to tell me ? maybe i could help . shane : someone 's already helping me . from school . i just hope she comes through for me . jack : [ sighs ] neela : what did you do when you realized what had happened and that someone had died and it was shane 's mom ? jack : i freaked . i was gon na go straight to the cops , but my dad stopped me . and his wife , téa , she 's this really big defense lawyer -- she said i could go to jail for a really long time . neela : even though it was an accident ? jack : that 's what she said . and my dad -- you 're gon na think he 's a real jerk for doing this -- but he found out that brad 's family had lost a lot of money in the real - estate crash , so he paid off brad 's family to have brad take the blame , even though it was my idea , even though i 'm the one who made up that girl 's myface page . i 'm the one who went after shane . i 'm the one who locked his mom in that basement . it was all me ! and look at me ! i 'm living my life , while brad 's locked up and shane 's mom is dead . i 'm the one who should be punished . and maybe i was . neela : what do you mean ? jack : you know karma ? what goes around comes around ? even though i 'm not in jail , i 'm still paying for it . neela : because you feel so guilty ? jack : because i am guilty . i think it was payback . i think my dad died because of what i did to gigi morasco . aubrey : so , this friend is a girl ? shane : it 's not like that . my dad caught me talking to her on the phone and got the same idea , but trust me , she 's just helping me . aubrey : do what ? sorry . never mind . you do n't have to tell me . it 's okay . shane : everyone 's gon na know soon anyway . jack manning is totally into her . she 's pretending to like him so she can get him to admit what he did to my mom . neela : going after shane , that was a mistake . but shane 's mother showing up and that broken generator -- that was an accident . you were n't trying to hurt anyone . jack : yeah , tell that to shane . he lost his mom because of me . and now i lost my dad . so it 's kind of like a trade , you know ? neela : i do n't think that 's how it works . jack : i do . i even saw shane 's mom at the cemetery . okay , you might think i 'm crazy , but it 's true . i saw her . it was like her ghost or spirit or something . but i wish she had been real . i would have told her i was sorry ... that i did n't mean it , that i 'm so -- i 'm so sorry . neela : jack . rex : so , you 've got amnesia . you spun a globe , and you just happened to end up here in paris , texas , where shane grew up , gigi worked , and where we just happened to be coming for a visit . stacy : ask the manager . we 've been here for a while . cutter was n't exactly thrilled with the place , but something about it ... it just felt right . but then you showed up , so we packed up and headed to the airport , but then something drew me back here . and i thought you were gone . the pie contest was over , so why would you be here ? i would never have come back here if i knew you were still here . rex : right . stacy : it 's true ! okay . look , you hate me . i get it . i deserve it . so , all i can say is i 'm sorry and ... goodbye . rex : wait . now i know you 're not her . it 's your face ... your voice ... you are so much like gigi . my name 's jeff . david : i hate clint . the fact that he hurt you makes me want to dropkick him into a moroccan prison . but you love him , which i will never understand , by the way . viki , you could have anybody . you could have had me . viki : yeah . i should have jumped at that when i had the chance . david : say no more . viki : david . oh , come on . it 's freezing . david : i 'm gon na make you forget all about clint buchanan . viki : right here in angel square ? david : merry christmas , baby . clint : oh , kimberly ... kim : do n't be nice to me . you 'll make me cry . clint : it 's all right if you do . kim : [ sighs ] you and your stupid handkerchiefs . you know , i used to dream about these . they always smelled so good . [ inhales deeply ] mm . same cologne . i just really thought we were gon na make it , clint . clint : i 'm sorry . kim : oh , you will be . clint buchanan , you 're gon na miss me . clint : i will miss you . kim : [ sighs ] i guess this is it , then . clint : kimberly , if you ever need anything ... kim : i know how to find you . but for now , i have to find cutter and stacy . cutter : where is she ? prof. fina : she is trying to find out who she is ! cutter : i know ! just tell me where she went ! prof. fina : you should never stop a woman from discovering the truth about herself ! hmph ! the universe , young man , it , uh , seeks equilibrium . and if you upset that balance , it 'll just , well , fix it for itself with dire consequence . you will be punished for it . cutter : okay . i hear you . if i hurt her , i 'll regret it . but where did she go ? prof. fina : she went , um , back to where she feels at one with the universe . let her go , young man . let her go . the answer to all of your problems is that you should care enough about her to just , um , well , let her go . stacy : rex ... rex : god , i almost fell for it . stacy : i 'm not trying to hurt you . rex : y - y - you look like her . you sound like her . you 're not her , okay ? ! this hurts ! stacy : i know . rex : then -- then why you 'd come to my house for the halloween party if you did n't want to hurt me ? stacy : because i thought that if i saw you , it might help me remember something . but it did n't . i do n't know you . rex : okay . stacy : it does n't matter now , okay ? i do n't want to be gigi 's copy . i want to go back to the way i was . and i tried . i went to that plastic surgeon , and i asked him to change me back . rex : why did n't he ? stacy : because of the coma . he said it would be too dangerous to put me under ... so he could n't do the surgery . i 'm so sorry , rex . i 'm gon na go now . but first , could you just tell me one thing ... about stacy ? aubrey : uh , that 's a pretty big favor to ask , shane . are you sure that 's not too much pressure to put on your friend ? shane : she gets that jack needs to pay for what he did . and you want dad to move on , right ? aubrey : are you sure this is about your dad ? or is it possible that you want to see jack pay ? shane : well , he needs to pay . of course that 's why i 'm doing this . anyway , all neela 's gon na do is get jack to talk -- aubrey : whoa , wait , wait . neela ? neela patel ? shane : yeah . you know her ? aubrey : vimal 's little sister . yeah , rama 's told me all about her . shane : what 'd she say ? aubrey : that she 's a nice girl , smart , pretty ... and has a major crush on jack manning . shane : yeah , well , she got over that when i told her how he killed my mom . at least , i think she did . jack : you must hate me . i killed shane 's mom . neela : but you did n't mean to . jack : it 's still my fault . neela : it 's not like you woke up one morning and said you were gon na kill someone . it was an accident . jack : it does n't matter . she 's dead because of me , and there 's nothing i can do about it . i mean , yeah , i made all those stupid promises about becoming a better person . but that wo n't change anything . neela : you 're just going to have to live with this . jack : but i ca n't ! that 's what i 've been trying to say ! i mean , it was all right when i could talk to my dad about it . but then he was murdered . and now i know what it -- now i know what i did to shane . i know how it feels to lose a parent . i 'm a terrible person , neela . neela : no , jack . no , you 're not . stacy : when cutter and i showed up here , i ... i started to get these feelings like i had been here before . i started to remember things . do you know why ? rex : nice try . stacy was never in paris , texas . clint : life is too short . do n't go chasing after those losers . kim : and let my brother get away with sending me to prison ? not the wentworth way . and i have to find him before he tries to sell stacy to the highest bidder . clint : you always were a good friend . kim : i 'm a good person . clint : yes , you are . it 's just bad timing . kim : story of my life . clint : it 's gon na work out for you . you 're a strong , smart , beautiful woman . kim : and like i said , clint , you 're gon na miss me . before i go ... what if viki does n't take you back ? david : feast your eyes . viki : wow . david : eh ? viki : that 's really something . david : yeah . i think the nut makes him look dangerous , do n't you ? wait till you see the movie . i 'm fierce . [ imitates chipmunk ] viki : i ca n't wait to see it , david . david : i 'm gon na ride that bad boy all the way to the oscars . viki : oh , what a speech you 'll make . david : oh ! what 's that , chip ? [ imitates chipmunk ] eine kleine tocksa micka ! viki : what does that mean ? david : it means if clint buchanan is too stupid to see how beautiful you are , he 's doomed to spend the rest of his days with a rattle - headed bimbette who 's gon na bleed him dry . viki : all that ? my . c lucy goosey dos y do ! you know what that means ? you 're gon na find somebody a lot better than clint buchanan . a whole lot better . viki : oh , david . oh , david . thank you .

i think he wet his diaper . michael : yep , i think that santa has given us a little early present . marcie : oh , yeah . well , that 's really good . just what i wanted for christmas . michael : i 'll change him . marcie : no , no , no , no . really -- i will . you might need to take over the elf responsibilities . michael : ok . marcie : ok . come on , baby . john : i 'm confused . i thought you were supposed to wear the santa suit . michael : yeah , well , it did n't fit . john : look , thanks for coming down anyway . michael : yeah , well , you know , i was going to spend my christmas with a bunch of complete strangers , but , you know , i figured i 'd throw you a bone . john : oh , well , thanks for the sacrifice . i wish mom was here . michael : yeah . you know , i -- i talked to her . she called from the cruise . she 's more calypso . said that she 'll come and see us when she gets back , maybe spend some time . john : yeah , i know she called . hey , you know , i -- i do n't want to keep you from your mom and the rest of your family . natalie : well , actually , michael and i have n't given you your present yet . john : what ? you -- you two collaborated ? natalie : mm - hmm . michael : yeah . natalie : a little bit . john : a little bit ? michael : just a little . john : is it a one - way ticket out of here ? natalie : almost . michael : ok . well , what i have arranged is that you are going to be moved to llanview hospital for your recovery , where i can keep a better eye on you . john : yeah ? michael : yeah . natalie : hey , do n't smile too much , babe . people might think you might be happy . spencer : how am i doing , blair ? paige : you 'll live -- unfortunately . thanks . i 'll take it from here . nurse : for the record , my name 's not blair . paige : are you still trying to convince people that you 're crazy ? spencer : are you still trying to convince people you 're a doctor ? listen , you 're not qualified , nor are you authorized to review my chart . get lost . paige : actually , i am authorized . the hospital reinstated me . i got my license back . i 'm practicing medicine again . spencer : oh , good . then you 'll be the first one i name in my lawsuit against llanview hospital . they really would n't be stupid enough to assign my ex - wife my case , would they ? paige : oh , no , that would be unethical for anybody except you . spencer : you 're in no position to talk ethics with me . why are you here , paige ? did you just come to harass me to death ? paige : well , this is my christmas present to myself . i just love seeing you chained to the bed , helpless , unable to hurt anybody . bo : a lot of people would like to see that . i ought to bring a camera down here and get a picture . how 'd you get past the guard ? paige : uh -- doctor 's privileges . spencer : what , you posted a guard outside my door ? i 'm flattered . what 's the matter ? you think i 'd try to escape ? bo : no , no , no . see , it 's not so much about people trying to get out of here , it 's people trying to get in here , because there 's a lot of people who would like to see you dead . viki : oh , clint -- clint : yeah -- ahem . it 's for natalie and bree , jamie , and zane . viki : that 's lovely . thank you . clint : you 're welcome . viki : let me add them . hang on a minute . clint : here , let me do it . jessica : oh , no . is it that time ? antonio : yes . i have one loose end i have to tie up . and then we 'll go to my mom 's . jessica : ok . well , you be fast . antonio : i will . i love you . jessica : i love you , too . antonio : ok . merry christmas , everyone . roxy : bye . clint : bye . renee : oh , jessica , look . i found another one for you . jessica : hmm . who 's it from ? renee : i do n't know . there was n't any name on the card . roxy : looks like you got a secret admirer . renee : oh . nash : hey , look , baby girl , there 's one more present . one more present . over here . look . it 's got a big bow on it . let 's see what it is . let 's see what it is . it 's -- oh , you 're not going to believe this . a rocker . it 's a motorcycle jacket . it 's from your mummy tess . she told me to tell you merry christmas . and she would be here if she could . dorian : i love presents . though , of course , the best gift of all would be having blair here and healthy . but having you here for christmas -- well , that 's right at the top of my list . adriana : i wish blair were here , too . dorian : we 'll have a second christmas when she 's out of the hospital . well , i 've got a present for you . adriana : wait , dorian . i do n't have a gift for you . i have this . dorian : what is it ? adriana : it 's a check from richard lefleur . dorian : who 's that ? adriana : the secret investor in my lingerie company . but then , you already knew that . rex : hey , i told you i 'd do what 's best for adriana . dorian : i 'm not going to take it . adriana : fine . dorian : no , stop it ! that 's a cashier 's check . it 's as good as cash . adriana : well , now it 's $ 50,000 of torn paper . dorian : well -- i 'm -- carlotta : merry christmas . evangeline : merry christmas . dorian : feliz navidad . adriana : merry christmas , you guys . i 'm sorry that rex and i ca n't stay . i wish you were my real mother . rex : merry christmas , everyone . evangeline : uh -- maybe we should go . dorian : no , please , stay . i need your help winning adriana back . dorian : cristian , i know how close you and adriana are . could n't you please talk to her ? convince her that she does need her mother ? cristian : um -- i 'm really sorry , dorian , but i 'm not good with that kind of stuff . besides , you know adriana . she 's stubborn . evangeline : dorian , my mom and i -- we have our ups and downs , too . but in time , we forget why we were even mad at each other , you know ? and we make up . i -- i think she 'll come around . dorian : thank you , but i did some pretty terrible things , and i do n't think adriana 's going to forget . carlotta : dorian , adriana has a good heart . i think she will . dorian : um -- i 'm sure that you 've got a lot of people you need to see this morning . hmm ? carlotta : we 're happy to stay . cristian : mami , maybe dorian 's right . antonio 's coming by and we do n't want to be late . merry christmas . evangeline : merry christmas . dorian : thank you . cristian : gracias . carlotta : are you sure ? dorian : yes . yes , i -- i 've got a lot of people coming over today . renee : oh . must be from antonio . it 's so beautiful . roxy : boy , those vega boys really know the gift of giving . nash : you know , a friend of mine in high school -- his mom had this locket around her neck with a picture of him in it . natalie : hey ! viki : merry christmas , sweetheart ! natalie : merry christmas . it looks like you guys have been having a lot of fun . viki : well , better now that you 're here . how 's john ? natalie : he 's doing wonderful . he got out of bed today for the first time . viki : oh , my god , that 's fantastic . natalie : i know . viki : yay ! natalie : i hope you guys do n't mind . i 'm going to only stay for a little while . i want to go back to him . viki : absolutely , absolutely . roxy : merry christmas , nattie . natalie : hey ! merry christmas . oh , it 's so nice that mom invited you . roxy : honey , you invited me . or maybe you forgot because everything going on with that cutie - patootie in the hospital . natalie : oh . well , you know what ? i 'm so glad that you 're here . roxy : well , it would n't be christmas without my baby girl . natalie : thank you , roxy . i feel the same way about you . roxy : oh ! natalie : oh , well , let me go say hi to jess . roxy : ok . natalie : hey , merry christmas . jessica : hi ! same to you . oh , my goodness . how 's john ? natalie : he 's good . oh , that is beautiful . jessica : yeah . what did santa bring you ? no ring ? natalie : uh -- well , we -- we talked about it . jessica : and ? natalie : you know , while he 's in the hospital , john just does n't feel that that 's a place to propose . jessica : natalie , he could propose to you in a dumpster and you 'd be thrilled . natalie : busted . but i get -- i get how he feels . jessica : well , then explain it to me . natalie : he 's just got more important things on his mind right now . michael : here you go . let me get you some water . you got to be parched , bro . john : i heard you assisted in tremens ' surgery . michael : yeah . yeah , i did . there was n't anybody else in the hospital that had the proper training . john : i know . you do n't have to explain to me , mike . michael : i got to tell you , johnny , there were a couple of moments there , you know , where i really considered making a little mistake . john : i 'm glad he did n't die that way . michael : you what ? why ? john : you know , that kind of death would be too easy for him . i 'm kind of imagining something a little more painful . michael : yeah ? well , something painful is n't going to happen if he can convince the judge that he 's a freak . john : mike , sooner or later , he has to be released from that hospital . and i 'll be there to put an end to this once and for all . spencer : well , kind of silly , is n't it ? i mean , what good does it do to post a guard outside my door when the two people that hate me the most are standing here right in front of me , even though i did n't do anything to either one of you . paige : you know , he really must be insane , because he 's in complete denial . spencer : i 'm not insane . bo : no , you 're preaching to the converted right now , truman . paige : and despite your efforts to destroy us , we are still standing . bo and i have n't lost a thing . bo : certainly not each other . spencer : i ca n't think of two people who deserve each other more . paige : merry christmas , spencer . bo : ho , ho , ho . paige : hmm . spencer : oh -- do n't worry , mama , i 'm not dead , and i 'm not in prison . this is only a temporary situation . and i will get out of this . clint : are you having a good christmas , dorian ? dorian : wonderful . i thought you might like to stop by later for some christmas cheer . clint : oh , well , i appreciate that but i am spending the day with my family . dorian : of course , as i 'll be with mine . oh . it 's going to be a madhouse . clint : all right , i 'll call you later . viki : how are things between you and dorian ? clint : oh -- i do n't know how , but we have managed to forge some sort of friendship . it 's just that i still find it difficult to get past what she did to adriana . viki : oh . natalie : hey , merry christmas . rex : thanks for inviting us . natalie : mm - hmm . merry christmas . adriana : merry christmas . natalie : merry christmas . hi ! paige : merry christmas . bo : hi , nat . natalie : merry christmas . bo : hey . natalie : merry christmas . bo : you , too . natalie : i hope you do n't mind if i hug and run , but i just want to get back to see john . bo : hey , tell him we said merry christmas . natalie : i will . but you 'll be able to tell him yourself tomorrow , because he 's coming to llanview hospital . bo : oh . paige : great . natalie : yeah . all right , i 'll see you guys later . bo : ok . viki : that 's lovely . jessica : i know . viki : it 's not from antonio , is it ? jessica : how 'd you guess ? viki : your reaction would have been a little different when you opened it . jessica : it 's from nash . viki : it 's kind of personal . jessica : yeah , i know . that 's what worries me . viki : well , darling , you 're not a mind reader , so you ca n't possibly know what it means to him to have given this to you . you can only know what it means to you . you 'll grow into it , i promise . you know what ? you are looking more and more like your mummy every day , both jessica and tess . she 's turning into a great mom . yes , she is . she is beautiful and charming and funny and married to antonio . hmm . antonio : officers -- anything new to report ? talia : nope , it 's all quiet . antonio : i 'm sorry i made you give up christmas . but if blair cramer 's awake , i 'd like to see if she can remember anything about falling off that warehouse roof . and i got a feeling she 'd rather talk to a woman . talia : no , it 's not a problem . happy to help . antonio : great . follow me . natalie : hey there . officer : the commish did n't put you on truman 's guest list , natalie . natalie : nah , it must have been an overlook . you want to give him a call ? officer : it 's ok . go on in . natalie : thank you . merry christmas . spencer : well , well , well . to what do i owe the pleasure , dear ? natalie : i am here to give john his christmas present . michael : so , johnny , you 're going to put an end to it once and for all , huh ? how you planning on doing that ? john : you worried i 'm going to kill him ? michael : yeah . john : you know , mike , i 've -- i 've blurred the line a few times , but i 've never completely crossed it . i do n't plan on changing that now . michael : really ? so , what is this plan of yours ? john : i just want to get back to work , you know . and for his own sake , hopefully truman 's found guilty and put in prison . marcie : but he 's not going to get the death penalty , is he ? michael : listen , honey , i understand that you do n't agree with it . marcie : well , it 's not just that . i mean , if spencer is executed , then todd will never find out what happened to his son . michael : oh , i would n't worry too much for todd manning , ok ? with or without spencer 's help , he 's going to find out who his kid is . marcie : yeah , but hopefully todd wo n't go to jail instead of spencer . john : you seem to have a lot of concern for manning . marcie : no , i -- i feel sorry for him . you know , i -- i ca n't imagine what it must be like to be separated from your child , not to know where he is , if he 's in trouble or -- it -- it 's just a lot . john : i sympathize to a point . but if he took the law into his own hands , i would n't have a problem putting him in jail . spencer : let me guess -- ahem . i know what you 're thinking -- you 're thinking that if you kill me , that you can win over johnny boy 's heart , right ? natalie : you think i want to kill you ? spencer : does n't everybody ? natalie : hmm . spencer : you got to admit -- make an awfully nice christmas present for john . natalie : well , john would not be too sad to see you dead . but what john wants is to see you punished for his father 's murder . spencer : oh , here we go again . natalie : and since he ca n't be here himself , i 've decided to come by and make sure you 're as bad off as i heard you were . spencer : well , as long as it makes sense to you , natalie . the points is , i really wo n't be here that long . natalie : no . no , you wo n't . you 'll be back at wingdale . and as soon as the shrinks figure out that you 're faking insanity , you 'll go right back to trial . spencer : i 'm as sane as you are , natalie , if not more so . the difference is , i 'm not deluding myself with who killed your boyfriend 's daddy . natalie : really ? so are you admitting that you did it ? well , it 's about time , spencer . ca n't wait to tell john . cristian : merry christmas . evangeline : merry christmas . cristian : all right . you know i 'm not that great with speeches . but this -- this past year turned out to be pretty incredible . evangeline : in spite of your hand and -- and losing the big fight ? cristian : well , you got me through it . your love made me strong . and i wanted to get you something that showed you just how much i love you . something really , really special . evangeline : oh . cristian , you know , i love you , but -- but i think this is really -- we have n't really talked about this , and i -- i really think maybe this is too soon . cristian : hold on a second . hold on a second . evangeline : cristian -- cristian : just open the box . open the box . evangeline : oh , cristian -- oh -- i love it . cristian : you thought it was a ring , though . evangeline : well , nora -- she -- she was -- she said to me yesterday that -- that christmas is official proposal day , so i -- so -- cristian : is it ? evangeline : no . no , it 's not . she was trying to freak me out , to just -- cristian : so wait a minute . if i asked you to marry me right now , you would say just no just like that ? no `` let me think about it , `` or -- evangeline : you want to ask me to marry you ? cristian : hypothetically speaking . if i asked you to marry me , you 'd say no ? evangeline : i love you . i would say `` i love you . `` but you know , it 's really -- cristian : i love you , too . i 'm just kidding . i know it 's too soon . evangeline : ok , i have something for you , too . cristian : ok . evangeline : ok . ok . cristian : oh , no way . evangeline : open it . open it . ok . i know it 's no substitute . and i -- i -- but i know you 're an artist , and i wanted to get you something , you know , that you could use because you have a great eye . you are a great artist , cristian . i will not let you give that up . do you like it ? cristian : it 's amazing . you 're amazing . merry christmas . evangeline : merry christmas . nash : hey . jessica : merry christmas . nash : merry christmas to you . look , it 's mommy . jessica : oh , hello , baby girl . are you having a good christmas with your daddy , huh ? nash : she is having an amazing christmas . santa claus has been very good to her . jessica : yeah ? it 's a nice jacket . nash : yeah . tess gave it to her . jessica : she has good taste . nash : so , was santa claus good to you ? jessica : yeah . um -- i got the locket you gave me . um -- but i ca n't accept it . nash : why not ? jessica : because i 'm concerned about what it means . nash : well , what did you think it meant ? jessica : it just seems really personal , nash . nash : open it . you have n't opened it . open it up . it 's not going to bite you . open it , open it , open it . jessica : ok , ok . huh . it 's bree . nash : of course it is . jessica : oh , i 'm so sorry . nash : it 's so you can , you know , have her close -- close to your heart , like we -- jessica : i know . nash : we talked about . jessica : thank you . thank you . i get it . nash : well , i wanted to thank you for inviting me to spend christmas with her . jessica : you do n't have to thank me for that . nash : that 's not all . i also wanted to thank you -- antonio : merry christmas . jessica : hi ! what a nice surprise . antonio : yeah , well , the work thing was a little quicker than i thought . i got your message that you were coming over , so i thought i 'd meet you here . antonio : merry christmas , nash . nash : yeah . antonio : merry christmas , baby . jessica : um -- look -- look at what nash got me for christmas . antonio : oh , that 's -- jessica : it 's got a picture of bree inside . antonio : oh , that 's nice . here , let me . jessica : oh , thanks . viki : rex . merry christmas . rex : you , too . viki : i 'm so glad you 're here . rex : thanks . viki : everything ok ? rex : sure , i guess . viki : is adriana still upset about what dorian did to her ? rex : the thing is , her anger towards her mother is eating her up inside . i 've done some pretty awful things myself . but if adriana would have never forgiven me , we would n't be together . so why ca n't she give her the same break ? viki : yeah . hey ! bo : merry christmas . viki : merry christmas , bo . excuse me . bo : and you , too , balsom . rex : yeah , you , too . bo : what 's this ? rex : do n't get all weepy , but i got you a gift . bo : oh , well , i 'll try to control the tears in my eye . rex : i thought you 'd enjoy a night at the opera with paige . kidding . they 're for a sixers game . bo : you serious ? center court on the floor ? whoa -- wait a minute ? where 'd you score tickets like this ? rex : one of the players comes into uv all the time . i figured you 'd maybe like to take paige and matthew -- you know , whoever else . bo : oh , man , paige and matthew -- they love basketball . and so does clint ! kidding ! no , here you go . see you at courtside , balsom . roxy : holidays have a way of rekindling old flames , if you catch my drift . clint : actually , i do n't . roxy : well , you and viki are looking mighty cozy today . viki : joey made this when he was 5 years old . he was very proud of it . adriana : never had the chance to make ornaments for dorian 's tree . ah , she probably would n't have put them on . too homemade - looking . viki : yeah . you know , when natalie came back into my life , she was really , really angry with me because i had n't raised her . but somehow , she managed to get past all that anger , and i 'm very lucky to have her in my life . adriana : well , she 's lucky to have you . viki : i 've made some terrible mistakes as a mother . there are times i do n't sleep at night when i think of the things that i did to my children . adriana : they do n't blame you . viki : no , they do n't -- which makes me the lucky one . they 've forgiven me . adriana : well , you 're easy to forgive . viki : honey -- huh -- as different as dorian and i are , we share one thing in common . we really love our children . adrian my mother has a strange way of showing it . viki : yes , she does , but what else is new ? look , we both know she 's never going to change . but , adriana , i know that she loves you very , very much , and i know that you love her , too . otherwise , you would n't be so hurt and so angry . adriana : it 's like this cloud hanging over me all the time . and i hate it . viki : you can make it go away , you know . forgiveness is in your heart . you look for it there and you 'll find it . and i hope you 'll use it . dorian : la boulaie , bon noel . oh , david -- hi . how are you ?

cristian : are you kidding ? i got a girlfriend that gives me everything i want without demanding a ring . it 's amazing . evangeline : does n't make me sound very smart , does it ? cristian : but you know that there will be a day when i 'll want to settle down , have kids . evangeline : me , too . but right now , i have everything i want . talia : go home . go home to your family . i 'll cover for you . officer : oh , thanks , talia . and merry christmas . talia : merry christmas , ed . spencer : oh , do n't worry , spence . christmas is just coming a little late for you this year , that 's all . but old st. nick -- he still has a couple of gifts waiting for you . is n't that right , santa ?

[ scene_break ] clint : no , thanks . i mean , i appreciate the invitation , kim , but i just do n't think i 'd be very good company . kim : do n't worry about that . we can just eat popcorn , watch a bad late - night horror movie , and just hang out . clint : `` hang out `` ? at your place ? kim : why not ? why should you be in that big old house thinking about your wife and your brother when you do n't have to ? clint : i 'm gon na do some work , kim . but thanks for the invitation . in fact , thanks for everything . nigel : about the occurrences here today , is there anything i can do ? clint : no , nigel . there 's nothing to be done . it 's over . nigel : i 'm very sorry to hear that , sir . clint : yeah . so am i .

[ scene_break ] nigel : are you in need of something ? clint : yeah . i need to get the hell out of here ! nigel : then allow me to assist you with a reservation . the palace restaurant , perhaps ? clint : dinner is not what i 'm after , nigel . renee : oh , nigel , where is everybody ? nigel : madam , you 're up . renee : nigel , how long have you known me ? nigel : quite some time , madam . renee : and how many times have i told that when a man calls me `` madam , `` it has a whole different meaning than the one you 're after ? nigel : so sorry , ma -- ohh . i 'm afraid i am not myself tonight . renee : you and me both . i thought that nora and matthew were coming back -- what is that doing out ? nigel : i regret to tell you that mrs. buchanan and mr. matthew wo n't be living here anymore . renee : and the shotgun is out ? bo and nora must 've fallen in love again . [ scene_break ] bo : clint was in bed with someone ? nora : his assistant . bo : sandra ? nora : oh , god , no . it was a younger , trampier piece of work that clint hired to replace her . i thought he was sick -- that 's why he was n't returning our calls and why he was in bed so early -- until she came slithering out from underneath the covers . hmm ! ohh . he was all like it 's just another day at the office , you know ? `` nora , dear , do you mind waiting outside while my whore gets dressed ? and , oh , by the way , i know what you did last summer . `` bo : oh , man . that must 've been fun . nora : the fun was just beginning . after his slut left , he proceeded to tell me how they -- how they got together . the first kiss was the -- the night at the lodge before our wedding . how he -- how he continued to marry me and make me believe that he was happy , and that he -- he loved me . all the while , he was falling more deeply in love with her . bo : so this assistant let him use her to -- to pay you back ? nora : hmm . it gets better than that , bo . you see , clint and kim -- nora : that 's her name . kim . nice . anyway , they -- they were n't having an affair at all . they were just putting it all on for show so that i would know how he felt . and it worked . bo : i 'm so sorry . nora : you know , it was n't the -- it was n't so much the shock of seeing another woman in my bed . it was more the depth of the anger and the bitterness that was in clint 's eyes . and how much i hurt him by falling in love with you . [ scene_break ] schuyler : do you think maybe we could start over ? like , hit the rewind button and just go back to the part where you said -- gigi : no , we ca nt , schuyler . we 're past that : redos , do - overs . you did n't trip and fall on my lips . you wanted to kiss me . and i -- schuyler : and you did n't . gigi : i did not say that . schuyler : yeah , but me putting the moves on you is -- is kind of gon na complicate things . gigi : this whole situation 's complicated . schuyler : yeah , but it 's not sleazy . not yet . gigi : meaning ? schuyler : i -- i want to be with you so badly , you have no idea . but you 're still with rex . gigi : i 'm trying to figure it out , how i feel about him . ohh ! schuyler : i know how you feel about him . you love him . you share a child . gigi : and how i feel about you . schuyler : well , you know what ? you want me . but other than that , we do n't know . and you cheating on rex with me is not gon na help you figure this out . gigi : so what do we do ? go on a date ? schuyler : actually , i have a better idea . [ scene_break ] natalie : it 's nights like this there are just so many memories . i mean , just a little over a year ago , jared and i were camped out here trying to figure out how we were gon na take care of bree and chloe while jessica was in the hospital . yeah , we were so exhausted from the midnight feedings and the changing of the diapers and chasing bree all over the house . but we were loving it , you know ? it kind of made us wonder what it would be like to have kids of our own . and , you know , what -- what 's crazy is i started wishing that jared got me pregnant . you know , like jessica was when nash died ? because i ju -- i just want something of jared to hold onto . i want his baby . rex : is it possible you could be pregnant ? [ scene_break ] mitch : it 's good to have an ally . i believe you 're the only one i have in this town . stacy : me your ally ? on what planet ? mitch : do n't play games with me . i know my son impregnated you . stacy : okay , everybody in this town knows i 'm pregnant with rex 's baby . mitch : i also know that this baby is the only chance you have at winning rex . stacy : still not seeing how that makes me your ally . mitch : all right . you want rex at any cost , so let 's make a deal . you give me what i want , and i will make sure that rex and you spend the rest of your lives together . [ scene_break ] oliver : uh , where were you ? ofc . johns : i walked mayor lord to the elevator . i was just gone a few minutes . oliver : okay , you 're not supposed to leave laurence alone . [ scene_break ] stacy : you can help me get rex ? how ? mitch : i 've been watching you . i know the extreme measures you have taken to steal my son 's heart . i even know the lengths that you went to to procure the stem cells that saved my grandson 's life . stacy : and you have a problem with that ? [ scene_break ] natalie : jared and i were waiting to start a family . so there 's no way i 'm pregnant unless there 's some miracle or the birth control malfunctioned . so i have nothing left . rex : nattie , you might not believe this now , but you 've got plenty left . okay ? you 've got this huge , big family that loves you . you have me . natalie : but now you 're jessica 's blood brother . rex : and you 're her blood sister . so do you know what that makes all of us ? natalie : screwed up ? connected to mitch ? rex : family by blood and by choice . best of both worlds . [ scene_break ] mitch : i admire your tenacity , stacy . i applaud your insidious plotting . i even helped with your endeavor . stacy : that nurse . that -- that weird woman that showed up out of nowhere with all that extra blood in case shane needed it . huh . she did n't just show up out of nowhere , did she ? you sent her to me , right ? [ scene_break ] gigi : we are in a cabin in the middle of the woods where no one can hear me scream . so what is your idea ? throwing a hockey mask on and chasing me around with that thing ? schuyler : gigi , you need to make this place feel more like home before -- before shane comes up . so what do you say ? [ country accent ] we head out into them there woods ? we find us a perfect tree that we can cut down and decorate ? gigi : christmas tree ? schuyler : [ normal voice ] yeah . why not ? gigi : i was totally wishing for one . [ scene_break ] stacy : you made sure i got that blood , did n't you ? mitch : it hardly matters , does it ? you allowed rex to steal the blood right out of your hands . stacy : ohh . he hated me more than ever after that . mitch : yes , but now you 're carrying his child , and he will cleave to you . stacy : i would love that more than anything . why should i believe you when rex does n't want anything to deal with you ? mitch : yes , but remember he once felt the same way about you . and look where you are today . stacy : you 're really creepy . you know that ? so how do you know so much about me ? what do you want from me ? [ scene_break ] renee : the last thing i ever thought would happen is that nora would cheat on clint with his brother . nigel : shattering . renee : you know , clint should not be alone at a time like this . do you know where he is ? nigel ? nigel : i 'm sorry , but i have even more disconcerting news to report . [ scene_break ] clint : i pulled a shotgun on bo and nora tonight . kim : you did n't ... clint : shoot ? no , no . but , by god , i could have . kim : you are one crazy dude . [ scene_break ] nora : what a night , huh ? bo : do you think that clint 's assistant could 've found out about us and then she told him ? nora : i have -- i do n't know how she could 've . i 've never even seen this woman before . it does n't matter how he found out . he found out . and his reaction was worse than either one of us even imagined . [ scene_break ] clint : the gun was n't loaded . but in that moment -- in that moment , i wanted to blow their heads off . kim : who can blame you ? clint : i can , according to bo . according to bo , there 's no one to blame for all of this except me . [ scene_break ] nora : i knew clint would be hurt and furious . but it 's one thing to think about it , another to live through it . i was scared to death . bo : clint never would 've fired that gun . nora : but he wanted to . i could see it in his eyes . god . that 's what i pushed him to : jumping into bed with a flunky on the payroll , having him pull a shotgun on his brother . he 's right . i have destroyed the family . [ scene_break ] clint : maybe bo is right . maybe i never should 've married his ex - wife to begin with . [ scene_break ] bo : we 're not gon na do this . we both hate that we hurt clint , but we 're not gon na blame ourselves . [ scene_break ] kim : hey , you ca n't blame yourself . you never know who you 're gon na fall in love with . [ scene_break ] bo : we fell in love , nora . now , i do n't regret it . do you ? [ scene_break ] kim : you fell for nora . she played with your heart fast and loose . that makes her a fool in my book . look , i know you 're hurting , but she 's the one who lost . i mean that . [ scene_break ] nora : i will never be sorry for loving you . because i ca n't fight this . god knows i 've tried . bo : i do n't want to fight it . nora : but how do we get past the hurt that we caused your brother when he needed us the most ? when his daughter was grieving for her husband ? [ scene_break ] rex : all i want to do is help you . natalie : i know . and i wish you could . but you should go . gigi is waiting for you at home . rex : no , she is n't . [ scene_break ] schuyler : i could n't do it . i could not bring myself to make the first cut to that innocent little tree . gigi : i had no idea you were a tree - hugger . schuyler : i ca n't fish either . road kill makes this grown man cry . and if a wildlife fund or a humane society calls me asking for money ? pfft . forget it . i 'll give them the shirt off my back . gigi : you know what ? schuyler : what ? gigi : i 'm just realizing that our relationship has been all about rex or stacy or me , and i -- i really do n't know you at all . schuyler : well , you know , some chicks dig mystery . gigi : i 'm gon na dig finding out more secrets even bigger than the fact that you ca n't kill a fly . schuyler : why would i care what idiot she slept with ? kim : because , you big dummy , it 's you . you 're the father . schuyler : oh , i 've got a few whoppers . gigi : like what ? [ scene_break ] stacy : yeah , i 've heard a lot about you , too . at least enough to know that having you on my side is n't necessarily a good thing . mitch : yes , well , the game of telephone is over . so judge for yourself what you see and what you hear . stacy : i will once you tell me what your deal is . mitch : rex has fathered a brand - new baby child , my own flesh and blood . do you know what a gift that is ? stacy : yep . it 's a gift , all right . i just do n't know what that has to do with you . mitch : my daughter jessica has shown me nothing but disloyalty . stacy : she 's sort of a bitch . mitch : and rex ... stacy : okay , look , if you think you 're gon na take rex off to some compound and stick him with 15 wives , think again , buddy . mitch : who said anything about returning to my flock with rex or you ? it 's your baby , my grandchild , that i want to take back with me . [ scene_break ] oliver : you left your post ? ofc . johns : so what ? no one 's in there . oliver : how do you know that ? [ scene_break ] stacy : you want my baby ? you want me to just give you rex 's baby ? mitch : this baby is a fresh start for me , a new beginning . stacy : of what ? mitch : neither jessica nor rex is interested in building my ministry or carrying on my work after i 'm gone . but this new baby can be nurtured by me from birth , shaped and molded so that my rightful heir will continue my work after i leave this earth . stacy : are you serious ? mitch : spare me the disbelief and righteous indignation . you do n't want that baby . what difference does it make to you ? that baby is a means to an end for you , just a way for you to keep a hold on rex . stacy : and when you take it away , what hold will i have ? why do n't you take my sister 's little brat shane ? he 's your grandkid , too . mitch : shane is too old , and rex has already poisoned him against me . i 'm offering you my promise , my word . `` in the beginning was the word , and the word was god . `` stacy : oh , get to the point . your word about what ? mitch : in return for the gift of your baby , i will make sure that you share your life with rex . stacy : rex hates you more than he hates me . and what kind of guarantee can you give me ? mitch : so you 're considering it ? oliver : stacy ? what are you doing here ? this man is very dangerous . you have to go now . stacy : that 's what i was just telling this creep . stay away from me and my baby . i have to go . [ scene_break ] natalie : wait a minute . did something happen between you and gigi ? rex : no . we 're good . we 're great . natalie : rex , come on . rex : look , i 'm not gon na put this on you . natalie : look , i know that when i asked you to go out of town to help me find jared , that you guys were going through kind of a rough patch . did -- did she leave you ? rex : no , she did n't leave me . natalie : then what happened ? rex : her friend , schuyler , that helped get her through this rocky time . natalie : oh . rex : so i -- i told her that she -- that we needed to take a breather so she could figure out who she wants to be with : him or me . natalie : have you lost your mind ? [ scene_break ] schuyler : oh - oh . oh , no . no -- gigi : yes . come on , truth or dare . what 's one of those whopper secrets you 're keeping ? schuyler : you do not seriously expect me to play truth or dare with you . gigi : either answer my question or head back out into the woods in nothing but a sock to cut down my christmas tree . which will it be ? schuyler : i -- i think we previously established that i can harm neither flora nor fauna . gigi : the truth it is . schuyler : i did n't like the idea of you being up here without a christmas tree . gigi : not budging , joplin . schuyler : gigi , if i told you everything there is to know , you would run screaming back to rex . gigi : i already know that you were in love with my witch of a sister who has caused me more grief than any human being ever has . if i got past that , i can get past anything . schuyler : hey . look . the perfect tree . [ scene_break ] oliver : hey . you seem upset . did -- did mitch threaten you ? stacy : no . oliver : hey , you got to be careful , stacy . he 's -- he 's sick . and you 've got that baby to think about . stacy : that 's what i 'm doing : thinking about my baby . oliver : listen , i do n't mean to be -- i do n't know . i just -- i feel sort of connected to you . that night that we spent together , when you took me home with you after rodi 's , my whole life was turned around . and i ca n't help but think that -- you know , i mean if things had been even a little different , that -- that could 've been my baby that you 're carrying . stacy : right . well , um , i 'd better get home . [ scene_break ] nigel : i fear mr. buchanan is with his new assistant kimberly . renee : kimberly ? nigel : a young woman from las vegas who maneuvered her way into the company by claiming jared hired her before he died . renee : i have n't even met the girl , and already i want to slap her . nigel : oh , that 's not all . i have no doubt she 's responsible for the news about commissioner buchanan and ms. nora coming out . renee : young female from vegas . va - va - voom , i presume ? nigel : if you find refuse appealing . renee : mm - hmm . yeah . i know the type . ha ha ha . back in the days when i was still in the game , i knew hookers with hearts of gold and hookers who sold their hearts and everything else for gold . nigel : i can assure you kimberly is of the latter variety . what can we do about this -- this ... renee : slut ? nigel : precisely . [ scene_break ] [ music plays ] kim : you know what ? you 're a great guy . clint : i 'm old enough to be your father . kim : but you 're not . clint : i got boots older than you . i should be going . kim : right . you should be home in that stuffy old study of yours , and i should be out at some dance club with some young , creepy dude slobbering all over me . is that it ? clint : if that 's what you want . kim : no , thanks . i had enough of that while i was st -- clint : while you were what ? kim : uh , when i was ... dating a younger guy -- clint : do n't even bother . kim : excuse me ? clint : i had you checked out . your résumé . it 's fiction . you were a stripper in sin city . kim : so why did n't you fire me ? clint : i did n't fire you because , well , i thought you 'd come in handy someday . and you did . i liked having you in my bed tonight when nora walked in . kim : i wanted to do that for you . clint : but i have several other questions that i 'd like an answer to . kim : shoot . clint : did you actually have an interview with my son - in - law ? and did jared really hire you before he died ? or is that a lie , too ? [ scene_break ] renee : this house is not going to seem like a home anymore without matthew and nora . nigel : around this time i 'd be making up a snack for young matthew , helping him hide his christmas presents for the family . why did this have to happen ? renee : oh , nigel , love is a runaway train . it waits for nothing and no one . asa , you always believed that bo and nora would get together . you wanted it . huh . but not at clint 's expense . [ scene_break ] nora : i got to find a place to live . we ca n't live in this hotel forever . dani and matthew need a home . bo : one step at a time , okay ? nora : that 's the problem . i -- i do n't have a clue what the next step is . god , i wish we could 've controlled how clint found out about this . bo : yeah , but do you know what ? he would 've been hurt no matter what . and now it -- it 's out : we love each other . and to deny that would 've hurt all of us , including my brother . [ scene_break ] kim : no . i never interviewed with jared . clint : okay . so my daughter saw right through you even in her grief . what else ? kim : what do you mean ? clint : you did n't stop with only one lie , did you ? what else did you do ? kim : um , like , um -- clint : um , like pencil yourself into jared 's calendar , and then slip a bogus thank - you note into his mail ? kim : oh . right . right . that 's what i was doing in his office . i wanted to make it look like we 'd met . but i guess all i did was make you suspicious and natalie want to poke my eyes out . not that she did n't have every right to be mad at me . clint : why did you do all of this ? the private investigator said that you 're not connected to anyone who 's trying to harm or take over b.e . so why ? kim : to meet you . are you gon na fire me ? stacy : oh . kim : oh , hi . stacy : god , i 'm starving . you know what ? i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na go get a bite to eat . clint : do n't -- do n't leave on my account . i 'm on my way out . kim : uh , you can spend the night if you want . clint : might want to quit while you 're ahead . kim : got it . get out ! see ? i 'm a quick study . stacy : is that your limo downstairs ? clint : it is , yeah . kim , thank you . i needed this . kim : should i come by b.e . tomorrow ? clint : well , yeah . of course . but the next time you tell your boss that you 're gon na match him shot for shot , make sure you 're up to the challenge . kim : i 'm really sorry about your wife and your brother . it really sucks . clint : it does . it does . stacy : holy crap , you work fast ! uh , do i even need to ask how it went ? kim : you first . what happened with mitch laurence ? stacy : um , well , he promised me rex . [ scene_break ] rex : i could n't think of what else to do ! gigi has feelings for another man . they 're not going away . how can i live with that ? how can she ? natalie : she 's confused . i mean , maybe this thing with schuyler 's just a crush . it 'll pass . rex : okay . when ? natalie : life is too short for you just to let go of gigi . okay ? you need to go after her and tell her that you love her , that you guys belong together . because do you know how much i regret every second i did n't spend with jared ? go get gigi and bring her home . rex : how about i go pay the sitter , grab shane , get a movie , and come back here ? you could use the distraction , right ? natalie : no . i 'm okay . rex : you want to stay here and remember jared ? natalie : that 's the plan . rex : i love you , sis . natalie : i love you , too , rex . gigi is still here , rex . do n't let her become a memory .

dorian lights the llanview christmas tree in angel square and makes some mayoral announcements . but she knows that viki might need to `` vent `` about her very frustrating situation with having echo in her home with charlie for christmas so dorian calls her . viki admits to dorian that she is ready to strangle echo and willing to resort to drastic measures like having dorian `` take care `` of echo as only dorian can do . dorian then calls echo to tells her she can give her $ 10,000 for taking some christmas photos of the mayor dressed as santa clause . but when echo goes to meet dorian on the rooftop , dorian locks her on the roof where it 's cold . echo then puts on dorian 's santa suit in order not to freeze and knows the only way to get off the roof is to go down the chimney . and while jack manning wants to convince sam that there is no santa claus , the two boys see somebody dressed like santa on the roof and they knows that the person is coming down the chimney . starr and langston are together wondering what to do for christmas and about whether langston should see robert and whether starr should see james . but they meet the two brothers in angel square and the four of them are happily together with baby hope .

[ scene_break ] spencer : hmm . i thought you buchanans always hunted in packs . if you 've come to beg my forgiveness , my mercy , forget about it . your old man 's going to pay for what he did to my mother , period . bo : i think you got the message about my family loud and clear , so i 'm not here to talk about that . i want to know what happened in the warehouse . spencer : it 's simple -- todd manning tried to kill me and blair . bo : so now you 're accusing manning of trying to kill blair ? spencer : that 's right . of course he did , and the reason is obvious . he thought she was pregnant with my child .
