Joey pressures Kelly into finally telling him the truth about her feelings for Kevin. Kelly blurts out, "No! There's nothing you can do for me! I love Kevin!" Joey is in shock and can't believe how stupid he could be. Things get worse when Kevin walks in on the confrontation and admits that he too, loves Kelly. Joey feels so betrayed by the two people he trusted the most. He reminds them of how he accused Sophia of being a liar when all along it was his brother and his wife that were the liars! "You don't know what love is Kelly! Your kind of love is sick and I don't want any part of it," Joey tells her as he storms out. Kevin and Kelly feel horrible for what they have done to Joey, but still can't manage to keep their hands off one another. Meanwhile, Joey finds himself at Crossroads. Without a word, he pulls Sophia into a passionate kiss.
Todd has taken the teen fugitives to Asa's cabin and is up to his old tricks! He manipulates Cris into thinking that Viki's chemo is not working and that she will die soon. Cris, believing Todd, goes to Will and demands that he leave Jess at once so that she can be with her mother. When Will refuses, Cris threatens to turn him to the police. Todd, during this time, is giving Jessica his opinion on love. He thinks feelings aren't real and if you do think you are in love, you only end up getting hurt in the end. He wants her to cut both Cristian and Will loose for good. When Jess walk in on the guys arguing, Will asks to speak to her alone. He tells her that she needs to make a choice; either Cristian leaves or he will...
Poor Lanie believes that Lindsay has really gone over the deep end. Lindsay begs her not to tell Bo about her "condition". They run into Bo and Sam at the hospital and Lindsay lies about why she is there. Bo and Sam don't know if they should trust Colin's diagnosis of Mathew, but Lanie looks at the boy and agrees with Colin. Bo and Sam take Mathew into another part of the hospital with Colin. Lindsay tells Lanie to stay with Bo, but she replies that her sister needs her more right now. While Lanie is off checking Lindsay into the hospital, she takes her opportunity to sneak into the room where Mathew's blood samples are. Just as she is about to put a vile of his blood into her pocket, Bo walks in!
At Crossroads, Sophia realizes Joey knows about Kevin and Kelly.
While drinking coffee, he apologizes about his past behavior when
shewas telling the truth about Kevin and Kelly. Sophia slips about
videotaping the two together in the locked closet. She explains
they didn't sleep together because they both loved Joey. Joey rages
about their betrayal and asks Sophia to have a couple of drinks with him.
She declines, admitting that in the past she would have accepted his
offer, but she currently is hung up on another guy.
In Clint's office, Kevin and Kelly agonize over how their love for
each other has hurt Joey. Kevin demands to know why Kelly would
marry Joey when she did not love him. Kelly's anquished declaration of
wanting to have a baby just to save her marriage and not for the
desire to become a mother sends Kevin out the door in search of
Joey. Kelly cries out to him not to leave her alone!
Meanwhile, back at Crossroads, Joey is drowning his despair in
alcohol. Kevin walks in and apologizes. He states that he never
wanted this to happen and that he hates himself. When he explains
that he understands that Joey would not be able to forgive him
right away Joey decks Kevin. While Joey is trying to choke Kevin with a
pool cue, Kelly walks in and begs Joey to stop.
In Asa's cabin, Cris and Todd discuss the need for Will to leave
the group so that Jessica can return to Viki. In the barn, Will is
trying to convince Jess that it's time for him to go his separate way. He
is tired of being on the run and competing for her love. Declaring
that she is a spoiled rotten brat that enjoys having two guys competing
to be her little boy toy helps Jessica realize that it is time for
their pact to end. Todd drives Will to the edge of town while Jessica
informs Cris that she realizes that he is the only one that truly
loved her.
On the docks, R.J. taunts Antonio about trying to be a super cop with
his bumbling partner, Sophia. Sophia interrupts their conversation
and R.J. walks away laughing. Antonio apologizes to Sophia for
having yelled at her earlier and explains that he failed his assignment.
Sophia tries to comfort Antonio by telling him he's the best and
that he can get any man or woman that he wants. Antonio ponders this
statement.
At the hospital, Bo regains possession of Matthew's blood sample
and tells Lindsay to stay out of all aspects of Matthew's paternity
case. He is suspicious of Melanie's behaviour toward Lindsay, Colin and
himself. Lindsay laughingly explains to Colin that Lanie believes
she has lost it and proceeds to mimic her tragic insanity. Lanie and
Colin decide that Lindsay needs special attention and Lanie insists
that she provide it alone. Lindsay quietly rejoices at this news.
Bo observes Lindsay, Lanie and Colin leaving the hospital together.
Viki is sleeping on the sofa when she is startled awake by Todd.
She informs him that Ben is looking for him in Ohio as they became
nervous after learning there was no real house detective at the
hotel where the kids were staying (like Todd told her there was).
Todd tells his sister that Will has decided to go out on his own so
Jessica is coming home. Viki can't understand why Jess would leave
Will but Todd suggests that Will broke his promise and took off.
Viki thinks that Todd made him leave though her brother denies
that. She will never forgive him if he's hurt Jess.
Jess admits to Cris that she was wrong about Will again, that he's
totally irresponsible. She knows she can always count on Cris
because he's always been there for her and she feels badly that she
hurt him because of Will. Jess is sure now, Cris is the one she
loves, she's chosen him. Cris wonders why she's saying that and
thinks it's only because she's hurt and angry over Will's leaving.
He wants it to be about the two of them. Jess disagrees that it's
about Will and asks Cris to make love to her. He will make it safe
for her, he promises, he loves her.
At Crossroads, Joey is trying to kill Kevin with the pool cue as
Kelly screams for them to stop. As Colin arrives and breaks them
apart, Joey tells his brother he will kill him. He tries to leave
but Colin thinks he's drunk and won't let him go. Joey informs him
that he's not the one who would be drinking and he hates bars
anyway. Kelly tries to go with him but he gives her the keys to
lock up(that Sophia gave to him before she left). He removes his
wedding band, drops it on the floor and tells both his wife and his
brother to go to hell. After he leaves, Kelly wonders why Kevin
even followed Joey but Kevin only wanted to try to set things
straight. He can't hurt his brother any more and can't be with
Kelly even though she says they want each other. He only wants to
go home alone and that will be his sentence. Once he leaves, Colin
pours Kelly a drink of brandy to make her feel better. He offers to
sit and talk with her, even if it's about the weather. He tells her
the sun will always shine again after the storm and that he's been there
himself. She didn't create the mess herself, he gently tells her.
It takes two and sometimes even three people. He offers her a ride
but she'll drive to Dorian's house. He accepts the keys to lock up.
Nora wakes up and spies an envelope addressed to Lanie from Colin.
She writes a note asking for help and wonders if Lanie knows what
her husband is capable of. She instructs Lanie to give the note to
Bo or Sam. She eyes the envelope near the foot of the bed and
attempts to reach it so that she can put the note inside. After
much pain and struggling, Nora reaches her goal, only to hear a
noise. Thinking it's Colin, she manages to get the note into the
envelope, which contained divorce papers, and make it back to her place in bed. Her book drops on
the floor.
Sam is reading to Matthew in the hospital, discouraged because
treatment isn't working. He goes out to Bo in the hallway, to tell
him of Matthew's status and they wonder if the diagnosis was right.
Just then Asa and Max come by but Bo orders them to leave. Asa is
checking on his grandson and wonders why Sam is there. As Asa tries
to go into the room, Sam blocks his way and warns him to stay away
from his son. Asa informs him that his only son is Will, an escaped
convict. Sam and Bo side together against Asa and Max as they argue
over the care of the youngster. Asa will get a court order for a
new DNA test. Bo insists that none of this is Asa's or Max's
business and that it would be between him and Sam and Nora if she
were alive, though she's dead because of Asa. Sam has gone back
into Matthew's room and Bo informs his dad that even if Matthew
were his, he wouldn't let Asa near him and that he would let Sam
keep the boy first. The old man accuses Bo of sounding like a
Rappaport, even though he's a Buchanan. Max suggests the two of them return
home and make some phone calls.
It's Will, walking into Colin's house! He hears a noise and starts
upstairs, calling for Lanie. After the phone rings and no one
answers it, he realizes that no one is home. He sits down in a
living room chair.
After making love, Jess talks about what a fool she's been but Cris
tells her it doesn't matter. He will take her home and they will
face things together. He will always protect her.
Viki has two questions for Todd, she says. Where is Jessica and why
didn't she come home with him? Todd wanted to protect her, he says,
as he's known by the cops. Viki still believes that her brother has
manipulated the entire situation and she doesn't want him involved
anymore. He storms out, telling her to let Ben do it, but once he's
out of the room he gloats about fooling everyone. He always wins,
he happily tells himself.
Cris tells Jess they should leave and he'll stick by her. Jess is
curious because she thinks something else is going on. He finally
tells her that Viki is getting worse.
Will is sleeping in the chair when he hears Colin arrive home. He
manages to hide as Colin gets in and goes upstairs, mentioning
Scarlet's name. The doctor finds Nora lying in bed, reading and
wonders what she's doing up so late. She looks flushed, he thinks,
but Nora jokes that it's from all the exercise she's been getting.
Plus, he's been awfully noisy all night and doesn't look so good
himself. He looks confused but passes it off and says that he's
been involved with a medical emergency. She suggests he kidnap the
new patient and put him in the bedroom next door. Colin is hardly
amused, but there's a noise again and he goes to investigate. He
finds nothing - Will has escaped to the cellar. He wonders who
Scarlet is.
Sam is keeping Matthew company as Bo watches from outside the room.
Llanfair
When Ben phones Viki, she explains that Todd came by to tell her
she should expect Jessica and Cristian back in Llanview soon
because Will had taken off on his own. Viki hoped that Will had
tried to contact Ben, but since that hadn't happened she asks him
to come home. When she hangs up and listens to her messages, she
hears a cryptic message from Jessica asking her to come at her
earliest convenience and giving her location as the "Lone Star
Lodge." Viki leaves immediately.
Lone Star Lodge (Buchanan Lodge)
Cristian assures Jessica that her mother will arrive soon and
everything will then be OK. Jess wants to know "how bad" Viki is,
but Cristian won't tell her, insisting that Jessica talk to her
mother about it. He tries to comfort her by insisting he would
change everything that has happened to them except "last night"
since that was "more incredible than I ever thought it could be."
Cristian seems a little guilty when Jessica declares that Will did
her a favor by leaving because "now I know who I can count on...who I
truly love." When they hear someone at the door, Jess assumes it's
Viki, but it's actually Max. Max thinks he's hit the mother lode
and is disappointed when he can't find the third Musketeer, Will.
Max suggests that Cristian and Jessica "do the right thing" and
turn themselves in to the police. Cristian tells Max that Jess
needs to see her mother, then they will go to the police and he
promises that Jessica "will be safe with me." Max pretends to
believe them and leaves, but Cristian isn't convinced that he won't turn them
in so he insists that they leave the lodge right away.
Later, Max
is back inside the lodge informing John Sykes and two other
officers that he watched Jess and Cristian head "south on 83" after
saying something about seeing Jessica's mother. Sykes sends
officers to Llanfair and takes off himself, apparently missing Viki
arrive at the lodge. Viki has no kind words for Max, especially
when he lamely tries to explain his and the police's presence at
the lodge as just trying to do the right thing for the kids. She
guesses right that Max was simply trying to "prove" himself to Asa
with his actions, hoping that Jessica and Cristian (who are "half
your age and twice as brave") would simply "turn Will in." Viki is
sure that won't happen because they are "decent and good, two
things you'll never be." When Viki tells Max that she knows he
isn't Asa's real son, Max claims his actions prove he is "more of a
son to Asa than anyone...who's the real son and who's the fraud?" Viki agrees
that "when it comes to deceit, you are made in Asa's image" but she
promises Max that "if my daughter is...in any way harmed...I will
destroy your life, lie by lie...because Ben and I have the ammunition
to do it." Max bluffs that Ben will never admit to being Asa's
son, but Viki sets him straight. "Ben doesn't want to use it but,
for me and my daughter, he will."
Vega Apartment (now Antonio's)
Roseanne comes to the door claiming she is returning books Sophia
borrowed from Antonio and gets nostalgic about her life in the
apartment with Cristian when Antonio invites her in. She asks if
Antonio has heard from Cristian and is hurt when Antonio questions
her motivation for asking. "Damn you, Antonio...damn your whole
family...and me for ever giving a damn about any one of you."
Antonio is amused by this outburst, chalking it up to "the real
Roseanne" and berates himself for thinking she had changed, called
off her war against Cristian, and that they could be friends.
Roseanne explains, "I care about him...I spent my whole life loving
him...part of me always will...I don't have an on/off switch in my
heart...I'm a human being...if you treated me like one, maybe you'd
find that out." Before he can respond, Cristian opens the door to
the apartment calling for Antonio; a startled but happy Roseanne
hugs Cristian only backing away when Jessica shows up behind him.
Seeing Roseanne there and Antonio in uniform, Cristian decides they have to take off,
that coming there was a bad idea. Antonio declares that if it is a
choice between being a cop and helping his brother, "I'll choose
you...I'll look out for you." Cristian knows that and that's why he
is choosing to leave; the brothers shake hands and embrace but
before they can leave, Antonio looks out the window and sees the
police arrive. When John Sykes bursts in, he sees Antonio kissing
Roseanne and calls it "a very convincing performance" but claims to
know that Cristian and Jessica are in the apartment. When Antonio
tells Roseanne to keep her mouth shut, Sykes warns that Antonio is
"on thin ice" already by "harboring a fugitive" and encourages
Roseanne to tell what she knows. Claiming, "I would still be with
your brother if it wasn't for you," Roseanne seems to give Cristian
and Jessica up by telling Sykes they had been there but left when
they saw her, possibly heading over to Asa's so Jessica could see her grandfather. Sykes is skeptical at this news, but Roseanne
convinces him she wouldn't want to help Antonio, preferring,
instead, to see Cristian and Jessica "squirm." Llanview's finest
leave and Antonio congratulates Roseanne on her "nice" performance.
Antonio informs Jess and Cris, who have been hiding in the bathtub
behind a drawn shower curtain, that the "coast is clear" and they
should thank Roseanne for that. Cristian wonders why she helped
them and is surprised by Roseanne's answer. "Because it's time for
me to say goodbye and I know it. Cristian, I'm letting you go."
Lindsay's Bedroom
Waking up and seeing Melanie asleep in a chair across the room,
Lindsay pretends to be having a nightmare about Bo leaving her.
When Melanie wakes and comforts Lindsay, she claims to not remember
what happened last night except that "I think I was really sad."
Melanie explains that her sister was "someone in pain...it broke my
heart." Reeling her in, Lindsay asks why Lanie's heart would be
broken since "you're the one Bo wants." Melanie claims, "I'm not
with Bo...we're not a couple." When Lindsay questions whether
"something happened because of what I did," Melanie explains, "we
had problems before last night." Lindsay suddenly remembers that
she "did a really bad thing" by trying to steal Matthew's blood
sample but explains it away because, "Since I lost my baby, I
haven't really been myself." Lindsay encourages her sister to go
to Bo because "he needs you" but asks that Melanie not tell Bo
about her behavior, claiming she doesn't want him to worry more,
especially with Matthew sick. "We both want the same things for Bo...happiness...a child
I couldn't give him...the love of a good woman." After Melanie
leaves, Lindsay dresses. As she admires herself in the mirror, she
vows, "Don't you worry, Bo. When Lanie drops you, I'll be there to
pick up the pieces."
Llanview Hospital ICU
Bo comes to the door while Sam dozes at Matthew's bedside and
suggests that Sam take a break. Bo promises to keep an eye on
Matthew while Sam steps outside. Bo tells a sleeping Matthew, "You
gotta fight...I know you're a fighter because you're Nora's kid and
she's a fighter...you can beat this thing...beat it for your Mom and
for your Dad and for me." Bo touches Matthew's forehead and runs
to the door to call Sam back to the room. When a nurse checks
Matthew, his fever has broken and he "seems out of the woods."
Later, Matthew's pediatrician gives credit to Dr. MacIver (Colin)
for the correct diagnosis and Sam admits that "although I never
thought the day would come when I'd be grateful to Colin," he is
glad that Colin saved Matthew from a spinal tap. As Bo leaves, he
thanks Sam for letting him "be a part of this whole thing" and
compliments Sam. "You're a hell of a father, Sam."
Outside the room, Melanie arrives to check on Matthew and is
relieved when Bo tells her the good news. She hugs Bo but then
pulls back. Bo observes that "something is still bothering" her
and asks if it is Lindsay. Melanie promises that Lindsay will "be
fine...I'll see to that." When Bo suggests that Lindsay is lucky to
have Melanie around and that he is "pretty happy about it, too,"
she isn't so sure that Lindsay feels that way. Bo suggests Melanie
help him celebrate because "whether I'm Matthew's father or
not...last night it felt like it a little bit." They go to the
hospital rooftop for the "good view" of Llanview. Melanie observes
that from this vantage point it looks "too perfect to be real...so
far away and out of reach." Bo disagrees, he tells her that "after
watching Matthew pull through the way he did, everything seems to
be in reach to me" and he kisses Melanie.
>From outside the door, Lindsay watches as Sam tells Matthew that
he feels "your Mommy's been watching over you from some place that
we can't see...like heaven...maybe that's like a tail of a comet...or on
a star somewhere far away...I truly believe that you got well because
she's watching over you." Lindsay interrupts him to voice her
concern for Matthew's well-being. Sam suggests, "The next time
you're concerned, phone!" and takes pleasure in telling her he
doesn't have "the faintest idea" where either Bo or Melanie are.
He reiterates that she is to stay away from Matthew because he
doesn't want to "worry about what part of him you're going to cut
off and rush to a DNA lab." Lindsay claims, "I have bigger things
to think about than Matthew's genes."
Colin's House
In the basement, Will hears muffled voices through a duct in the
ceiling. Upstairs, Colin is giving Nora her daily dose of physical
therapy and is pleased that her range of motion is improving.
Spying the envelope addressed to Melanie at the foot of the bed,
she asks Colin how things stand with his divorce. He tells her he
signed the separation agreement but hasn't returned it because he
isn't ready to lose his wife. Nora reminds him that he has already
lost her; her suggestion is to "send the papers in and be done with
it." The phone rings and when Colin finally runs to answer it, the
door doesn't close behind him and Nora overhears his conversation
with someone at Llanview Hospital. She hears enough details to get
suspicious, especially when Colin threatens to report the caller to
the medical board if he doesn't get updated information on his
young patient. Having finally received the good news about
Matthew, Colin is upset when he turns around to see that he didn't
shut the door and he'll have to try to explain the conversation to
Nora. He tries to cover, but Nora grills him about why he was in
Llanview treating a little boy. Colin's silence speaks louder than
words and confirms to Nora that the little boy was Matthew. She
becomes hysterical, screaming and trying to get out of bed to go to
her son. Colin restrains her, explaining that the news was good,
"he's fine," and promises Nora that he wouldn't lie about
"something like that." Calmer, Nora asks if Matthew had to stay in
the hospital, did he have his blankie, was he alone? Colin assures
her that "Sam was there by his side the whole time." Suddenly,
Nora begins to sob. "I should be with my son...my son is in a
hospital, sick, needing his mother..." Colin takes her hand and
seems sincere when he asks that she "show me a way out of this...your
nightmare ends the day you leave here, mine just starts unless you
can show me a way out..." but all Nora can think about is Matthew.
"My baby...needs me. Let me go to him, please." Colin offers to do "the next
best thing" by going to the hospital and getting proof that Matthew
is "alive and well." "I'm gonna make everything better...I promise."
When Colin leaves the room, he turns and is surprised to see Will
standing in the hallway.
In Antonio's apartment, while Antonio looks on, Roseanne apologizes
to Jessica and Cristian about interfering in their lives. She wishes
she could tell Will how sorry she is that she turned him in to the
police. Jessica believes that actions speak louder than words and turns
away in disgust. Roseanne admits to being jealous of Jessica since she
first met her. She was jealous of her being "so blonde, so
beautiful and so rich." She had everything, including Cristian. Roseanne
hopes that Jessica can forgive her some day. She professes to Cristian
that she really did love him and hopes that he will not hate her. She
gives Cristian her wedding band. Cristian and Jessica leave.
Alone with Antonio, Roseanne admits that what she said was too
little too late. She will always love Cristian but wants to find someone
who will love her back. Antonio agrees with her that she looked like a
loser chasing after Cristian. He then tells her that "she's beautiful, smart, interesting and rich." She just needs to wait for the right guy to find her.
In Colin's House, Will confronts Colin about the screaming he has
been hearing and demands to see Aunt Lanie. Colin explains that Aunt
Lanie is not there and that some woman are screamers in bed. Colin does
not hide his displeasure towards Will being in his home uninvited and
demands that he leave immediately! Will refuses. Colin offers him
money and Will explains that it is not money he needs but a way out
of the country. He needs Aunt Lanie to change his appearance. He
also needs his Uncle Ben. Colin explains that his home is not a safe
hideout because there are people in and out of his house all day
long. Will stubbornly argues that he would be safe because he has been
hiding in the basement since last night and even "Scarlett
upstairs" did not know he was there. Colin looks uneasily up the stairs.
Will insists that Colin bring Aunt Lanie to him. He gives Colin his
watch, which has his birthday inscribed on the back, to prove to Aunt
Lanie that he knows where Will is hiding. Will then goes down into the
basement and is startled to hear the door locked behind him. Will
bangs on the door and cries out to Colin.
On the hospital rooftop, Melanie breaks off her kiss with Bo. When
he questions her about the distance that he feels that is growing
between them she announces that she is going back to Colin. Bo does not
believe her and wants to know why she can not even look at him.
She explains that she is embarrassed that she led him on. Bo declares
their kiss did not feel like a kiss and that Colin is a jerk and
does not deserve another chance. Melanie leaves.
In the hospital lounge, Sam confronts Lyndsey and demands to know
what scheme she is planning concerning Bo and Lanie. He insists that
she had her chance with Bo and blew it. Lindsay remains tightlipped
and will only reveal that all is not lost concerning Bo. Viki walks
in and explains that she heard from Jess and Cris and Will was not
with them. When she went to meet them she found Max at Asa's cabin.
Jessica and Cris had fled. Viki leaves. Dr. Ketchum walks in and
announces that Matthew's fever has broken and that he can go home
tomorrow. Sam is ecstatic! As Sam is rushing to give "his son a
big hug" he runs into Lanie. She tells him that she will not be seeing
Bo anymore. Lindsay overhears their conversation and attempts to
comfort Lanie. Afterwards, she leaves to look for Bo on the roof.
On the hospital roof, Lindsay finds Bo and declares she is the only
one for Bo and that she will always love him. She wishes that
Lanie had not hurt him. Lindsay points out to Bo that all the "good
women" in his life have hurt him and cheated on him. That they could not
be trusted with his love. Bo tells her he does not want to discuss
Lanie with her. Sam walks in and tells Bo the good news about Matthew.
Bo is delighted and thanks Sam for letting him be there last night.
He then queries Sam about resolving the question concerning Matthew's
paternity.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Colin confronts Lindsay about Nora.
She does not want to waste her time talking to Colin because she
believes that Bo will soon be coming for her. Colin becomes angry. He
claims that he has a "get out of jail free card" and shows her Will's
watch. She begs him to tell her where he is hiding. Colin informs her
that he will turn Will in to the police unless she takes the rap for
Nora's kidnapping.
At Llanfair, Viki is reunited with Jess and Cris. Viki is delighted and informs them that her chemo is going well and that her latest test result is excellent. They are stunned. They explain that Todd told them that she was
dying. Viki wonders if Will left on his own because he thought she was dying. The doorbell rings. Viki answers it and discovers Detective Sykes with arrest warrants for Jessica and Cristian.
