St. Ann’s

Larry drops in for a visit with Allison. She fills him in on how her life has been since the kidnapping. Allison expresses remorse for her actions. She asks Larry to bring something to Viki. Larry is shocked by her request.

The nun urges Allison to move past what she has done. Allison doesn’t believe that people will ever forgive her for her actions.

Llanfair

Viki is going upstairs when she hears Niki’s voice taunting her about Jessica’s kidnapping. She yells at the ‘voice’ and Ben comes in to comfort her. Viki can’t tell Ben what is bothering her, but he finds the clippings from the kidnapping in the chair. He questions Viki about the articles and she tells him about how Allison made it look as if Niki had kidnapped Jessica and nobody believed she didn’t do it. Ben asks why Viki is reliving all of this now. Viki tells him about Allison being at St. Ann’s and that Rae is treating her. Ben forbids Viki to meet with Allison. Viki is glad for his support; she doesn’t want to see Allison either.

Viki starts to tell Ben about using her alters to trick Gina when the doorbell interrupts them. Viki answers the door and it’s Larry – he has a delivery from Allison. Viki can’t believe Larry would do such a thing. Larry apologizes and is about to leave when Viki stops him. She grabs the letter from Larry and sneers as she reads the letter asking for Viki’s forgiveness.

The Student Union

Natalie meets up with Seth and Jess. Jess introduces them and leaves to pick up a homework assignment. Seth pushes Natalie into the elevator and kisses her passionately. Jess returns with the papers and wonders where they have gone. She is surprised when the elevator doors open, revealing Seth and Natalie, who look awfully guilty about something. They make up an excuse when Jess asks what is going on and Jess doesn’t suspect anything.

Natalie is surprised to hear that Seth and Jess are going on a date. Seth thinks he may have to work and goes to check in with RJ. Natalie tells Jess that she doesn’t think the date is a good idea – Seth can’t afford to go to the Palace. Natalie suggests that maybe they should go to the diner instead. Natalie accuses Jess of falling for Seth. Jess thinks Natalie has a problem with her dating Seth – and Seth would like to know what her problem is too.

Natalie says the other girls will be jealous since Jess gets to date such a hot guy like Seth. Jess tries to talk Seth out of dinner at the Palace, but he insists. Jess leaves to get ready and Natalie tells Seth he should be relieved that she didn’t tell Jess what she really thinks. Natalie says she is happy he is dating Jess and he is happy that she is working at Llanfair. That bitch won’t even know what hit her, Natalie says malevolently.

Sam’s House

Will pulls Hottiebaresall.com up on the screen. Lindsay pretends to be shocked while the rest of the group is stunned. Cris denies any knowledge of the Web site. Will informs the group that this type of site is possible if Cris has installed Web cameras in his loft. Will surfs through the site to show everyone the pictures in the photo gallery – Cris in various states of undress. Cris is firm in his denial of any knowledge of the site.

Cris asks what could possibly force him to do such a thing and Will reads the info on the site that says it is ‘pay-per-view.’ Sam jumps on Cris’s case and demands an explanation. Cris swears he doesn’t know how those pictures got on the Internet, but Will accuses him of using the money to take Jen away for the weekend. Lindsay tries to defend Cris, but Will doesn’t want to let him off the hook. Cris thinks Will could have set him up since he has computer knowledge. The guys nearly come to blows.

Carlotta jumps to Cris’s defense and informs the entire Rappaport clan that her son does not lie and she believes him. Antonio and Carlotta leave. Cris follows them out and gives Antonio his keys, asking him to go to the loft and find the cameras.  Carlotta assures Cris that he doesn’t need to defend himself to her, she knows he is telling the truth. Cris hugs his mother and she encourages him to go back in and try to make things right with Jen.

Meanwhile, Will has found the footage of Shawna sneaking into the loft and attempting to seduce Cris. Jen is crushed. Lindsay tries to tell Jen that Cris must have an explanation. Jen tells them to leave her alone and goes to her room. Cris comes back inside and tells the Rappaports that Antonio is going to investigate. Will gets in his face and tells Cris that Jen is out of his life. Cris tells Will that he doesn’t take orders from him and he will be finished with Jen when she says so and not a minute before.

Cris believes the Rappaports should give him the benefit of the doubt before believing the worst. Jen comes out and asks her family to leave so she can talk to Cris alone. Cris tells Jen that the police will find out how those cameras got in his apartment. He asks if Jen believes him…

Lindsay stands outside the door gloating about how well her plan is going.

Troy’s Room

Nora returns Troy’s talisman. He tells her the story of how he acquired it and how important it is to him. He thanks her for bringing it to him, even though he knows he makes her uncomfortable. Troy closes the door as they are talking and notices Nora’s discomfort. He apologizes for not remembering that his appearance unnerves her.

Nora tells Troy that she believes that Colin didn’t act alone in her kidnapping. She asks if he found any info in his papers. Troy says he did discover Lindsay trying to break into his room. Nora isn’t surprised at all and warns Troy to be cautious around Lindsay.

Troy explains about his childhood with Colin and how the brothers used to impersonate each other. Troy resented getting into trouble for Colin’s misdeeds, so he arranged to go to a different college than Colin and they hadn’t seen each other since. Troy thinks he is responsible for the way Colin turned out, but Nora assures him that he couldn’t have changed Colin – and she doesn’t want to talk about him anymore.

Nora leaves, but she can’t go down the stairs because she has visions of Colin falling. Troy asks if she is okay. Nora regains her composure and is about to leave when Troy is confronted by a woman who was wronged by Colin. She shoves Troy and he falls over the balcony as a horrified Nora looks on…

Line of the Day

Nora (about Lindsay breaking into Troy’s room): Oh, well, that’s our Lindsay. I suppose she was using something subtle like a crowbar.
