ONE LIFE TO LIVE RECAP FOR

'SKYE'S THE LIMIT!'

At Dorian's, Skye told Blair she was an 'idiot', for letting Max get
away. That Blair had played a game and then 'walked'. Skye informed Blair
that she'd walked out on Max, but she'd be watching her! She said that
when she caught her in her little scheme she would tell Max and then he
would be through with her for good! After Skye had gone, Kelly pleaded
with Blair to let the revenge 'go', but Blair wouldn't leave it alone...

THE 'OKAY-RENEE' CORRAL

Renee, visiting the mansion, asked Max if Asa was ready to apologize? He
didn't respond, as she'd expected. She told Max that Ben knew about him,
and Max began to become angered, saying that they'd had a 'bargain'.
Renee corrected him, and told him that Ben hadn't told her, she had told
him! He had overheard her, but hadn't seemed surprised. She accused Max
of holding secrets in the past, and wanted to know what the new secret
was about...

RENEE'S RIGHT TO KNOW?

Ben told Viki that Renee wanted to find her real son, she'd been betrayed
by Max and now Ben felt he had betrayed her too! He wondered if he had
the right to keep his true identity from her. He said that his 'mom' had
lost faith in Max and was so alone now. Viki said that if he told Renee,
he'd be telling Asa too and she knew what that would cost him. Ben told
her how Renee had said if she found her son she'd apologize and make up
for lost time. Ben's mom had died when he was pretty young. He admitted
to giving thought, when occasions arose, of what gift to buy for Renee,
mother's day, other holidays like that. Viki said it sounded to her as if
Ben wanted his mother in his life...

DR. JEKYL'S ABODE...

Colin told Nora that Lanie had a fling with Bo. Nora wanted to know if it
was his intention to trade her for Lanie, because it wouldn't work! She
mentioned his ex-fiancé Lindsay, and Colin said that Bo had moved on, to
Lanie! He told Nora that in early April, Bo and Lanie had been at the
Cherryvale Inn all night! Nora said that 'something's were unforgivable,
like infidelity'. Colin played a hunch and said "Oh. Sam!" Nora
scrutinized him and said she had the 'creepy feeling' he was trying to
use her to 'get the goods on Bo', and she wouldn't do it!

'WITCH WATCH'...

At Cherryvale Clinic, Bo and Melanie sat while Bo struggled to explain
the ironic fact that he had 'feelings' for her. When she commented on his
laughter, he explained how he'd once misunderstood when Nora used those
exact words on him. He couldn't explain his feelings, he only knew that
they felt 'good'.

Melanie asked about the fate of her sister Lindsay. Bo said that he did
care about Lindsay but he could never go back to her and how he'd told
her that. Melanie said that the news must have devastated her! Bo felt
that if they explained their relationship it would hurt her even more. He
said that he did not tell Lindsay about them, because it had nothing to
do with how he felt about Melanie. He wanted to know more about her,
asked her for her 'take' on his feelings...

'YOUR MOTHER SHOULD KNOW!'

Max told Renee Ben had asked him to clear Will but that he'd broken a
promise! Renee accused him of lying. Max was surprised that Ben hadn't
'ratted him out'. Renee said that 'everyone in the family was trying to
destroy Asa', but that Ben didn't want to hurt her! Max said he didn't
want to hurt her either. She said he had, in more ways then a real son
ever would.

Max asked if she had any 'feelings' for him. She asked him if he meant
love, and said what she felt was more like hate! He said he wanted her to
come home. She asked him why, saying that he and Asa had each other, Max
had gotten his wish! He told her that Skye had gone, and Renee was
ecstatic. She told him that although he wasn't her 'blood', he was all
that she had. She wanted him to be happy. That she loved him, God help
her, but that a big part of her heart belonged to her real son...

LANIE AND BO, PART TWO...

Melanie said that she had feelings for Bo too, but that she was still
"married". He said that she was separated and had filed for divorce.
Melanie told him that Colin was making it very difficult for her and that
it was probably going to take a long time. Bo said that he had plenty of
time! Lindsay, losing it at this point, shoved over a supply cart in the
hall.. Outside of the room they were in, came a loud crash! They ran out
to see what the noise had been...

FIRST, YOU TRY 'REASON'...

Kelly tried to convince Blair to go home without revenge, but Blair
planned to make Max 'believe' she loved him so that when he left for good
next time, she'd have plenty of money. She told Kelly that she'd see Todd
in  Cincinnati, that she was worried about Starr. That with Todd, you
could 'expect anything!'

Blair said she'd married for love, had loved Max even when he was brain
damaged, but she got played for a fool. Kelly felt that if the love was
still there, there was hope. The doorbell rang again and Max stood on the
threshold. He implored Blair to 'stop the nonsense and come home'. Blair
asked about Skye and he said she was gone. He would never use Skye as a
weapon again. No more weapons. He made declarations of love and Blair
agreed to go home with him.

As he took her bag out to the car, Kelly hugged her cousin! Blair turned
on  her and seemed surprised, "You mean, you believed that?! That getting
back into the house was part of the plan!" She told Kelly she had the
house all to herself and Kevin..ooops! Joey! and the baby!

DR. JEKYL'S ABODE, PART THREE...

Colin mentioned that he'd been reading up on the  'commish' and his
suspension. Was Bo the 'poster child for police brutality?' Without
thinking, Nora said a few words about R.J. then caught herself and told
Colin she wouldn't help him hunt Bo! She said she wasn't surprised that
Lanie was attracted to Bo, after years with a man like Colin! Colin said
'ouch!' She said that Bo would never keep a woman captive! Nora said, in
no uncertain terms that if Bo was going after Colin's wife, he was going to
win!

WITCH WATCH...

Melanie and Bo ran out into the hall, and saw a man straightening up the
cart. He said 'some woman' had done it and that she'd must have received
some 'bad news'. Melanie's beeper went off and Bo said that he would call
her so they could work out those 'feelings'! Just around the corner,
watching Bo leave, Lindsay waited...

WHO'S KNOCKING AT MY DOOR?

Bo opened the door to Hank, who said he'd pulled data on paternity tests
for him. Bo thanked him and asked if he'd had any thoughts on Lindsay.
Hank said it was a 'no go', that if Lindsay testified, there was no
precedent for him to use, he couldn't even come close! He couldn't give
her immunity. Bo accepted this. Hank scrutinized Bo's small smile. He
asked if he was so happy about 'that blonde'. Bo said  'yes', and that
she was Lindsay's sister, or half-sister! Hank raised an eyebrow as Bo
went on to explain that he'd liked her before he'd known anything about her...

WITCH TIRED OF WATCHING & POUNCED!

Lindsay told Lanie she wanted to have a 'sister to sister' talk. About
the paternity question, that her 'personality' was so impulsive, not
honest and trustworthy like Lanie. That sisters should share
everything... Lanie was caught off guard, as Lindsay went on to say that
'sleeping with Colin was the worst thing she'd done'. What kind of person
would sleep with the man her sister was in love with? Someone like Lindsay, not Lanie!

As Lanie's mouth fell open, Lindsay hissed and spat "Hey Hypocrite!"
"After all these years your finally getting back at me! Your trying to
steal Bo from me!"

SKYE  REACHES A 'CROSSROADS'

As she walked into the bar, Skye told Ben that she'd left Max. She felt
she deserved better, and she'd taken off! Ben asked her how she felt.
Lonely, she said...scared, and when he asked what she was hoping for,
coming there, she said perhaps a little bit of sympathy. Ben jumped all
over her though, attacking her judgment, how she'd chosen a married man,
and she 'thanked' him...while he was still talking....and walked out the
door...with repercussions to follow?

ENDINGS...

Who's knocking on  Bo's door? Colin MacIver!

Viki, in her limo on her way to a community charity center, realized she
was being driven in the wrong direction. As she called out to the driver,
she heard the door locks snap shut!

Kelly, looking thoughtful, decided to take a home pregnancy test.
Speaking to herself she said "after all, I only have to look for the plus
sign in the window..."
