THE GALLERY CRAZE!

Jen and Riley are sitting at a table together. Rex comes over and picks a fight with Riley by making a comment about Flash's near brush with death. Riley nearly chokes him to death but Jen stops him. What's really bugging him, she asks. He confesses that he and Flash are over. Natalie sits alone at a table and Paul approaches her. He asks if she's seen Kelly. Natalie says no, but is he sure he wants to be seen with her? Why not, he asks. Because is standing right over there, and he didn't want us even saying hello to each other this morning. So! Does she always do what John says? What did John want to talk to you about, Paul? He tells her it's all a big mix-up, no big deal. You're acting nervous, Paul. I'm tired. I've been doing a lot of overtime at the hospital.

Flash over to John and Antonio...John says of course Paul is nervous. He's waiting for a call from people who want to put a bullet in his head. Antonio says that he stole money from the wrong people. John adds that he set up this meeting to return the money, thinking the whole time that he's getting away with it. Antonio asks if John thinks that Paul will try to pull a double-cross. John says..I know he will!

Enter beautiful and gallant Viki, coming over to congratulate her son and Blair. She can barely get out her felicitations when her son tells her not to stay too long. She asks him if she looks like she's four years old or something? She'll leave when she's ready. Blair compliments her outfit and thanks her for coming, while Viki asks her if the trip to NY is still on. Blair says yes, and Starr is so excited. She needs a break from Llanview. Kevin asks her if she needs a break from the town or Todd? (Oh, THAT's your business!) She asks him where's Kelly, and he says he doesn't know. (FIGURES!) She's probably trying to tear herself away from the baby. The women make some men-know-nothing-about-babies jokes and Kevin says maybe he is overreacting, but she seems tense ever since she brought the baby home.

Antonio, much to RJ's chagrin, manages to steal five minutes of privacy with Evangeline. He tells Evangeline that he's not through with her client. She tells him that her client has nothing more to say. He reminds her that her client accused Nora of accepting $50,000 for illegal activities. Evangeline sweetly tells him that if he suspects embezzlement at Buchanan Enterprises, she suggests he looks there first. Her client has no further comments.

Enter Kelly with Todd. Kevin rushes over and demands to know what Todd is doing there. He says he was invited. It's a press event, and he's the press so..So get a press KIT outside. Kelly convinces Kevin not to cause a scene on his big night, and he threatens to throw Todd out if he makes any trouble at all. Todd walks away and Kevin leaves Kelly to go fetch her a drink from the bar. Paul zooms right in on Kelly and asks if she got the money. Kelly replies that he never told her why he needs so much money. Never mid that, did you get it o not? Kevin intervenes and asks Paul to excuse them. He's been waiting to show off his wife all night. (SURE!) Paul hesitantly walks away, nervously standing off in a corner where he's being watched by John.

Flash over to Todd..

He's quietly standing in a corner when Blair approaches him from behind. He immediately tells her that he's on the guest list, and she tells him that it's okay. He can stay. As a matter of fact, she wants to talk to him about their future.

She tells him that their son will be staying with Viki and Hetty while she's away, and she hopes that he'll honor the custody agreement. Yeah, I got it, stay away from my son. Yet you trust me enough to leave town. That's something. Well, I think it's great that we're working together for Starr. What's this talk about he future? I saw you tonight with that woman, and I was surprised...but I*'m glad that you're starting to realize that you can have a future without me in it, and I feel good about that, she says with her head down.
