Colin’s Will

Nora warns Lindsay that the reading of Colin's Will will reveal the truth.  Nora tries to convince everyone to attend.  Sam agrees to attend and Lindsay blasts him for forgiving Nora so quickly.  Melanie agrees to go too and decides to call Bo to let him know.  Nora speculates that Lindsay is scared to go for fear that the truth may come out.  Lindsay tries to get Will and Jen to stay away but to no avail.  Sam tries to comfort Nora after she makes him aware of the nightmares she has been having.  Sam offers to take her away but she makes it clear that she has to know the truth no matter what the cost.  Sam reminds Nora that he is dead and can’t hurt her now.

Lindsay and RJ

Lindsay shows up at RJ’s and asks him what they should do regarding the reading of Colin’s will.  RJ tries to convince Lindsay that there is nothing to fear and that they should attend.  Lindsay reminds him that he is the one who provided the drugs for Colin to erase Nora’s memories.  Lindsay tells RJ that she is going to skip town.  But RJ tells her that she is going because if she doesn’t go she will look guiltier.  Its better that they are there to play spin doctor. 

Jess and Seth

Jessica pulls away from Seth’s kiss and explains that it is too soon to get involved with someone.  She opens up to Seth about her lingering feelings for Will and lets him know that she is on the rebound and that if she weren’t she might go for it with him.  Seth understands and agrees to take things slower.  They agree that friendship is the best thing for right now.   Seth thanks Jess for her open-mindedness and for not judging him for his past transgressions.  A distraught Al arrives and interrupts their conversation.  Seth gives Al and Jess some time to talk and leaves.  Al confides in Jess about his anger towards his father.  Jess tries to offer some advice and suggests that maybe his father does want another chance at being a good father.  Al feels strongly that people don’t change but Jess lets him know that people do change.  She relates that someone in her past did something really horrible to her and her family in the past and she has been able to forgive him.  As Jess puts on her arms around Al to comfort him, Seth spies on them from the bushes.

Max and Al

Max lets Al know that he plans to marry Blair and be a good father.  Al blasts Max for his past fatherly behavior.  Al points out all the broken promises in his past but Max guarantees Al that he will be a good father this time.  Max apologizes for letting his son down but reminds him that there was one promise he can still keep.  A phone call from Gabrielle interrupts their conversation.  She lets him know that Blair is in trouble and she has already called the ambulance.  He leaves Al alone who once again feels abandoned.

Dorian's house

Gabrielle watches over Blair while she is in pain.  Gabrielle grabs the phone and contemplates whether or not to call for help.  She finally gives in and calls for an ambulance.  Gabrielle tries to calm Blair down while they wait for help.  Blair thanks Gabrielle for her help.  The paramedics arrive and tend to an ailing Blair.  Max arrives and Gabrielle takes credit for being there for Blair.

Todd and Starr head to the airport so that they can leave town.  Starr lets Todd know that she never wants to see her mother again.  Todd hears an ambulance and recalls Blair being in pain and has doubts that she was faking it.  Todd has a change of heart and has the car turned around to go back to Dorian's.  Todd arrives at Dorian's and sees the ambulance.  Todd walks in and finds Blair in Max’s arms.  As the paramedics leave they recall Blair calling for Todd not Max.  Todd heads back to the airport with Starr.  Todd lets Starr know that they are going away and never coming back.

The Cherryvale Inn

As Nora, Sam and Melanie enter the dining room, Nora is haunted by Colin's voice.  Will and Jen show up and later the group is joined by Lindsay and RJ.  A mystery man hits play on the VCR and the group is stunned when they see Colin on TV.

Antonio tells Cris that he is making a mistake with Jen.

Gabrielle tells Max that she understands why he is marrying Blair.
