<<< BACK TO RECAPS  INDEX

The Banner

A deliveryman comes into the office with several boxes of Kelly's things.  Joey is there to sign for them and comments that Todd hasn't wasted any time.  He informs the man that Kelly will probably be changing her name.  Viki enters and asks Joey if she has heard him correctly.  He tells her that she has; Todd is back at The Sun.  He tells Viki that Blair has tricked Kelly into signing over her shares.  Viki wants to know in what capacity Todd has returned.  Joey tells her as publisher, editor and lord executioner; his first act as the new head was to get rid of the old one.  Viki doesn't understand why Kelly's things have been brought to The Banner.  Joey explains that he and Kevin offered her a job.  When Viki tells Joey how hard that will be on him, he tells her that she should be worrying about Todd instead of worrying about him.  He wonders what Todd is up to.  Viki is certain that they won't have to wait too long to find out.

The Penthouse

Roseanne and Sophia hear someone pounding on the door.  Roseanne assumes that it is Antonio and calls out to him.  Sophia tells her that she doubts they'll be seeing Antonio; he is probably with his new squeeze.  Roseanne opens the door to find Todd accompanied by two police officers.  He has the deed in his hand and tells the women that he'll be changing the locks.  He informs them that the deed is full of "lawyer words" that mean that they have to go away now; if they don't they can be arrested.  Todd finds this quite funny and imagines Sophia arresting herself.  Roseanne is sure that Todd is doing all this because Tea left him.  Sophia taunts that they have friends who will take them in, and that they will leave him here all by himself.  When they ask about their things, Todd tells them he will have their things sent to them.  As they leave he says, "Home Sweet Home."

Irish Jailhouse

Jessica asks Will if he is ok.  He is, but is angry that he has landed back in jail thanks to Cris and Max.  Jessica tries to comfort him, telling him that his father will be there soon and everything will work out; it has to.  Jessica wants to know how Cris could have lied about something like this.  She blames herself for trusting him.

Sam enters, followed by John Sykes.  He hugs Will through the bars.

The Palace

While sitting at the table waiting for Bo, Melanie feels a hand on her shoulder.  She comments that she was starting to worry, and as she turns she sees that she is talking to Colin.  "Sorry Lanie, we can't all be like Bo," Colin quips.  "One is enough.  He's more man than you'll ever be," she retorts.  Colin assumes that Bo must be with Nora.  Melanie tells him that if he is trying to make her jealous, he will walk away disappointed.  He asks how Nora is and Melanie wants to know why he cares so much about Nora.

Sam's Place

Rachel comes into the house while Nora and Bo are talking.  She asks Nora why she left the hospital.  Nora explains that there were things that she needed to know.  Rachel wants to know if she is ok.  She says that she is.  She admits that she is sadder, but less bewildered than she was before.  She tells Rachel that she won't be going back to the hospital; she won't find the pieces of her life there.  She wants to say in this house with Rachel and Matthew.  Bo informs Rachel that he has ok'd all this with Larry. 

Nora turns to Bo and tells him that somewhere she still feels that she should be leaving with him and going home with a movie and a pizza.  She then assures him that her family is there and she will be taken care of; it is fine for him to go.  Bo tells her that he doesn't think he can.

The Banner

Sophia comes in while Joey and Viki are still talking.  She tells Joey that she is looking for Rae.  Joey informs her that Rae has gone home for the evening.  She tells Joey that she needs a place to say; she has been kicked to the curb.  "By Todd?" Viki asks.  When Sophia confirms it, Joey says, "See what I mean!"

Viki wishes Sophia luck in finding a place to stay and tells her that she can use her as a reference if need be.  She then leaves.  Sophia tells Joey that the only thing left to do is to go to Antonio.

Cris's Apartment

Roseanne enters and hears the shower running.  She smiles and starts to undress, but is quite startled when Cris comes out it a towel.  He wonders what she is doing; as she quickly redresses, she explains that she thought nobody was  home and she was really hot, so she was taking off her clothes.  She asks Cris about Ireland and he tells her that she had been right all along.  He told Jessica the truth and she chose Will.  As Cris takes a drink from a beer, he tells Roseanne that Jessica has made her choice and now he has made his.

Irish Jailhouse

Will asks Sam if he is ok. Sam says that he is, now that he has laid eyes on Will.  Sam then thanks Jessica for helping Will and John for getting him into the jail.  He scolds Will for not getting back in touch with him.  Will seems confused, and tells Sam that he left him a message on his answering machine and sent him a letter.  Jessica got her letter, and that is why she has come. Will asks how things are at home and how Nora is.  He wants to know if Todd rescued her.  Sam says that Nora is fine physically, but mentally she is confused; he explains that she has no memory of the last few years and thinks she is still married to Bo.  Will is dumbfounded.  He tells Sam that Nora was fine when he saw her; she was scared but glad to see him.  She wanted to see Matthew and Sam.  Sam tells Will that he needs to know everything and that Colin must pay for this.

Sam's Place

Rachel goes upstairs to check on Matthew and Nora assures Bo that she is fine.  When he asks her if she is sure, she says that maybe she isn't fine, but she is coping.  She tells him that she needs to be alone in this new world of hers.  Bo tells her that he understands and that he is not planning to drop out of her life; they will sort through things together.  She thanks him and tells him that now is not the right moment.  Bo reminds Nora that she has a lot to get used to and that she needs to take some time.  She tells him that there are some things she will never get used to and that she will be sorry forever for hurting him.  He tells her that he will always be sorry too and the two embrace.

As Bo leaves, Rachel brings Matthew down and he runs to Nora, who holds and embraces him.  Matthew falls asleep on the couch and Rachel asks Nora if she is all right.  Nora says that she thinks she is.  She tells Rachel that it is still hard to believe everything that Bo has told her.  She admits that she doesn't know what she was thinking when she decided to have a child for Bo with Sam.  She comments that Bo was so sweet to her, telling her that everything she had done she had done for him, but she wonders if maybe she really did it for herself.  "Who wouldn't want to have a child like this?" she asks.  She tells Rachel how grateful she is to have her and Matthew and that she loves her.  She then asks Rachel if Bo has someone else.

The Palace

Colin wonders why it bothers Melanie that he is interested in Nora.  Maybe she and Bo just need something like "him" to talk about.  Melanie assures him that they have lots of other things to talk about.  "Really - like L- L- aspersing?" Colin wants to know.  He asks Melanie why she has said something to Bo about it.  She defends herself, saying that Bo is investigating and she only told him what she knows.  Colin tries to convince Melanie that he is just acting like a doctor; Nora's case is interesting.  She wonders if Colin is interested in Nora because she and Bo are close.  Colin assures her that his interest has nothing to do with the two of them.  He asks Melanie again if Nora is all right.  Melanie tells him yes, more or less.  He asks how Bo found her and Melanie explains that Nora found her.  Colin observes that Sam must be thrilled and Melanie tells him that Sam is away.  When Colin asks where he is, Melanie wants to know why he cares.  As Colin prepares to leave, he tells Melanie to run along and tell Bo everything he has said, so he'll have an excuse to play "the hero".  At that moment, Bo steps up and tells Colin that he is the only excuse he needs.

Irish Jailhouse

Sam informs Will that Colin is still free.  Will states that he is certain that he saw Nora in Colin's house.  John explains that the house was searched after Will's call, but that Nora was not there.  Will can't explain this, saying that he was locked in the basement.  John inquires as to how Will knew that Nora was there.  Will replies that she heard him and passed him notes through the vents, telling him to come up and help her.  Will swears that he never would have left Nora if he thought that she was in danger.  He only left her because he thought the police were on their way.  He asks Sam and John if they've talked to Todd, saying that he would know more than anyone.

The Penthouse

Todd is bagging up all the things belonging to Sophia and Roseanne.  The doorbell rings and he finds Viki waiting to talk to him.  He asks Viki is she has gotten into a fight with the lawn mower; she responds that she has, but he should see how bad the mower looks.  She asks him to guess who she has seen at The Banner.  He knows immediately that it was Sophia, but asks her if she should be out without her coat, isn't she afraid she might catch a cancer.  Viki tells him that she is in remission.  Smiling, he tells her that she is her old self.  She tells him that she has changed; she has a greater appreciation  for life and no tolerance for the things that are unimportant.  Todd tells her that he is over his case of Tea Delgado and doesn't intend to take any more crap from anyone.  Viki asks Todd to tell her what he is up to.

The Banner

Sophia is sure that Antonio will let her stay with him.  Joey warns her that that is not a good idea.  She points out that having Kelly at The Banner will keep her too close, as well.  He tells her that it is different, they will be working together, not living together.  She disagrees, telling him that working together is worse.  Most of their time spent living together would be sleeping, but when she works with Antonio she can't get away from him.  She tells him that she should have been careful what she wished for; being a part of Antonio's life is making her crazy.  She tells Joey that since they can't be strong for themselves, maybe they need to be strong for each other and help each other make the right decisions.

Cris's Apartment

Roseanne asks Cris if his choice is to drink Jessica away.  She tells him that the same thing happened to her when the two of them broke up.  It was difficult at first, but she came away with her dignity.  Cris explodes, telling Roseanne that she did everything she could possibly do to keep he and Jessica apart; it should be a snap for him to find some dignity, because all he did was tell the truth.

Irish Jailhouse

Will tells Sam and John that he saw Todd at Colin's, too.  Sam asks about Lindsay, wanting to know if Will has seen her there.  Will is puzzled and John explains that they have reason to believe that Lindsay was an accomplice to Colin.  Will is certain that his mother could never do anything like that; maybe she could be a little crazy, but she could never kidnap Nora and keep her prisoner.  Will informs the men that he never saw his mother in Colin's house and that Nora never mentioned her, she only spoke of Colin.

The Palace

Colin tells the Commissioner that he owes him an apology for suspecting that he has taken Nora away from the hospital.  Bo retorts that he will give him what he owes him if he doesn't leave Melanie alone.  Colin takes the hint and leaves, while Melanie apologizes to Bo, saying that she can't believe she was, or still is, married to him.  She asks how things went with Nora and Bo tells her that he has told Nora everything.  He tells Melanie that he feels like he hit Nora with a sucker punch; he knows he will be lousy company and he'll understand if Melanie wants to "scratch him off her dance card". 

The Penthouse

Viki tells Todd that she is terribly disappointed in the way that he has let himself down.  "You tell me that you want to come back and make amends for everything you've done, and then what do I hear?"  she complains.  He defends himself, saying that The Sun is his and the penthouse is his; doesn't bringing Nora back count for anything?  Viki tells him that it counts for a lot of raised eyebrows right now.  She asks him why he brought Nora back.

The Palace

Melanie tells Bo that she didn't expect him to be in the best mood; she'd like to stick things out with him - unless he'd rather she left.  She wants be there with him and for him.  He smiles, saying that Nora wanted to stay at Sam's, but not alone and that he doesn't want to be alone either.  If Melanie doesn't need sociable, he'd like for her to stay.  She is much nicer to look at than Colin.  Melanie says that Colin is acting more strange every day; he's too insistent about Nora.

Sam's Place

Nora apologizes to Rachel, saying that she didn't mean to put her on the spot about Bo.  Rachel tells her that it is ok, but that she really doesn't know the answer to Nora's question.  Nora then asks Rachel what happened with Sam, to which Rachel responds that she doesn't know that either.  She thinks that Nora needs to talk to Sam.  Nora replies that she is in a fine mess, but remembers that when she feels this way she likes to eat ice cream.  Rachel tells her that she is right, and offers to go and buy some.  She leaves and Nora picks up a picture of Sam, Matthew and herself and looks at it.  As she puts it back on the table, Colin looks in the door.

The Banner

Joey reminds Sophia that the situation between she and Antonio is different than the situation between he and Kelly.  Things are over between he and Kelly; she and Antonio have a beginning and he doesn't want her to ruin it.  She states that Antonio has said that they are friends and will be friends forever, which is what she is afraid of.  Joey warns Sophia not to let Todd set her schedule.  Sophia warns Joey that he is not over Kelly.  He explains that he just wants to help her.  Joey tells Sophia that if she needs a place to stay, she should give him a call.  He makes her promise that she won't go to Antonio's.

Cris's Apartment

Cris apologizes to Roseanne, telling her that she was in the wrong place and the wrong time; he just needed someone to yell at.  She tells him that it is easier to get mad than to move on.  She reminds him that her taking things out on him didn't bring him back to her.  She tells him that he needs to find a better place to deal with this feelings.  Cris tells her that he is restless and wants to go out, inviting her to come.  She tells him that she thinks they should wait for Antonio; she needs to talk to him about staying at the apartment.  He tells her that he is going to Rodi's and that she can join him if she'd like.  She tells him not to go; he has had too much to drink.  "Not nearly," he replies.

Irish Jailhouse

Jess and Will are alone.  She asks him if he is ok.  He tells her that he can't believe that his mother had anything to do with hurting Nora.  Jess tells him that he has faith in people, even though she (Jessica) doesn't deserve his faith after all that has happened.  She tells Will how much she cares about him and always has. 

Sam and John are at the Constable's desk. Sam is trying to place a call to Bo and tells the operator that it is an emergency.

The Penthouse

Todd wants to know if Viki would be giving the third degree to anybody else.  He reminds her that he is the only brother she has got.  He admits that he doesn't know if he has changed.  She tells him that they have gotten off to a bad start; bringing Nora home was a good thing, no matter what his reasons.

The Palace

Melanie says that she doesn't want to talk about Colin.  Bo wants to know if he has been acting suspicious.  She doesn't think he has, but he was very angry that she told Bo about the drug.  Melanie asks Bo if he thinks Colin would go after Nora.  He says that he doesn't know, but that someone did it before. 

Bo's cell phone rings and it is Sam.  He tells Bo that he has talked to Will and he has confirmed that Nora was at Colin's house.  He calls Colin a monster.

Sam's Place

Colin rings the bell and Nora shouts for him to come it, thinking that it is Rachel.
