One Life to Live Recap for Thursday, January 8, 2004

AL and JOHN
Al/Michael drops by John's apartment and tells him they'll be living under the same roof because Al and Ron are sharing a room in the same building. John hopes they can get to know each other better than they did when they were kids.

JEN, MARCIE, REX
Jen tells Marcie that Joey sent his wedding ring to her. At Ultra Violet, Rex tells Jen that he's worried about her and wants to help her, but she thinks he only wants to help her into bed. A man offers Jen money to dance at a bachelor party. Jen accepts, but Marcie grabs the money before he gives it to Jen. Marcie yells at him, and she tells Jen that if Rex really cared about her, he would have stopped the man. She thinks Rex treats Jen like dirt. Marcie threatens to call the police, and she throws the money back in the man's face. Jen thanks Marcie for being a friend.

TROY, LINDSAY, JESSICA, NAT
At Lindsay's studio, Jess fakes dizziness and falls to the floor, pushing a note written in lipstick under the door. Troy yells that he's not the Music Box Killer, and he wants Lindsay to help him. She's afraid to help him while he's holding a gun. Nat begs for Troy to release them. He wants to let them go, but he's afraid they'll go straight to the cops. Antonio finds the note outside the door, and he notifies John who brings backup. As they break through the door and secure Troy on the floor, he screams that he's not the killer. Later, Lindsay tells Antonio that she's certain Troy is innocent. He asks her how she knows, but she just says that she believes Troy.

MARCIE, AL, JEN
Al arrives outside Marcie's door with a sleeping bag. He tells her that he's going to sleep outside and make sure she's okay. She tells him she's fine, and she returns inside with Jen. She tells Jen that Michael is sometimes a creep, but sometimes he's sweet, and sleeping outside is something Al would have done. Outside, Al lies down with a baseball bat.

RAE, DR. HAVER, TROY
Rae and Dr. Haver question Troy. The conversation staggers because Troy is confused. He insists that he's been framed, and he tells them they need to find the killer. Rae tells him that his passes from prison coincide with the murders. Troy insists that he was always the good twin and Collin was the bad one. Rae reminds him that he killed Claire and committed crimes against Nora and Gabrielle, but he says that's because he was sick then. They asked where he went when he got the passes. He remembers hanging out at The Bendin' Elbow, but he doesn't remember everything he did. He just remembers happiness. They ask if it's possible he had blackouts.

FLASH, RILEY, NIGEL, ROXY
Flash promises Nigel that she won't tell Asa about Nigel's hotel. Riley gives Nigel the faucet that fell off his sink, and Nigel promises to send up the hotel plumber, which happens to be himself. Flash can't wait to move in with Riley. Later, Nigel with a grease-covered forehead attempts to fix Riley's faucet, but Ron takes over for him. Nigel tells Roxy that he hasn't stopped working for Asa yet, and she says he better wear armor when he tells Asa he's quitting.
