Cristian/Jen/Al:  The Guilt is Eating Them Away!!

Cristian awakens in his hospital bed to find Jen has stayed with him the entire night while he has been there for observation.  Jen thanks Cristian for saving her life and professes her love for him.  Jen now understands why Cristian had to break up with her.  Jen is ashamed of the terrible things she said to Cristian when she thought the break-up was real.  Cris was most hurt when he saw Jen kissing Al at the modeling agency.  Al and Jen, of course, know there was much more to it than an innocent kiss.  Al arrives in Cristian’s room to check on him and to see Jen.  Cristian tells Al he is thankful to him for being such a good friend to Jen through this whole ordeal.  Both Jen and Al have guilty looks on their faces.  Cristian, sensing something is odd, asks what is wrong.  They cover by saying they are both embarrassed by how much trouble they were to each other.  Al and Jen then leave Cristian’s room and talk about when they made love at the quarry.  They then realize Cristian is standing behind them.  Did Cristian hear what they where saying?

Just outside of Roxanne’s house in Atlantic City, Jessica places a cell phone call to Al for a cover story if Viki questions Al about Jessica’s whereabouts.  Jessica does not want Viki to know she is there visiting her biological mother.  Al agrees to cover for Jessica.  Jessica then knocks on the door and a very surprised Roxanne answers the door.  Roxanne hugs an extremely shocked Jessica.  Jessica goes into Roxanne’ s house and sees the place is a total mess and takes note of the empty beer bottles scattered throughout the living room.  Jessica wants to know why Roxanne did not know her own baby was switched with another one.  Roxanne explains that parenting was not her cup of tea and could not handle to responsibility; therefore, Jessica’s father did most of the care for the baby.  Jessica then learns her biological father is dead.  Roxanne wants Jessica to go to Las Vegas with her so they can get to know each other better.  However, before they go to Vegas and win a lot of money, they first need money now to get there.  Jessica realizes Roxanne really cares for no one and just wants Jessica’s money.

Seth/Natalie/Viki:  While You Live Under My Roof…!!

As Seth sleeps off the alcohol from the night before in Natalie’s bedroom at Llanfair, Natalie professes her love to him.  Natalie wants Seth to come back to her.  Viki comes in to see both Natalie and Seth in bed together.  Viki demands Natalie get Seth out before she calls the police.  Natalie goes after Viki and says she is old enough to have Seth in her room.  Viki expresses her disappointment after Natalie was beginning to show care and concern for her family.  Viki explains Seth being in Natalie’s bedroom would hurt Jessica.  Viki tells Natalie to never have Seth in the house again.

Seth Wakes up as Natalie returns.  Seth remembers the threat Allison made against Viki.  Natalie tells Seth again she loves him, but Seth tells her it is over.  Seth leaves to find Viki.  However, when Seth finds Viki, she rips into him for being there, for hurting Jessica, and for using Natalie.  Viki throws him out of the house before he gets a chance to warn her.

Allison/Ben/Rae:  Same Ole Song and Dance!!

Allison is volunteering at the hospital as she is begins to put her plan in action to have Viki’s DID resurface.  Ben runs into her and asks what she’s doing.  Ben is in disbelief that someone with Allison’s history could work in a hospital.  Ben threatens to have Larry fire her.  Ben grabs the book Allison has been reading about mental health and DID.  Ben is now onto Allison’s plan.  Ben demands she tell him what she is planning to do to Viki.  Allison tells Ben she wants to study DID to help Viki not to have a relapse with all the stress Viki has been under lately.  Ben doesn’t buy it for a minute.  Ben assures Allison that Viki is strong and cannot be broken.  Ben sees Rae and asks her to get Allison removed from staff.  Rae doesn’t think she can help.  Allison tells Rae the tall tale that she just wants to help people.  Ben and Rae do not believe her, of course.  Rae offers to have Allison work at a hospital in Philadelphia if she really wants to help people like she says she does.  When Allison balks at that idea, Rae threatens to have Larry get rid of her.  Allison quits her volunteer job.  Rae leaves Ben and Allison alone.  Allison plays victim, blaming Ben for her losing her job.  After Ben leaves, Allison is seen writing up a new plan.

Blair/Todd:  Whose Child is This??

Blair and Todd discuss the baby in Blair’s bedroom at Dorian’s house.  Blair is concerned that the baby needs to be in a home where he can be loved by parents who are not still reeling from the loss of a child.  Todd tells Blair her just wanted to make her happy.  Blair tells Todd she is not ready for a baby that is not hers; perhaps in time she could be able to love another child.  Blair becomes angry when she hears the baby cry and realizes he is still in the house.  Why is he still here?  Blair is afraid the baby will get attached to Blair and Todd the longer he is in the house with them.  Blair tries to explain she will keep being reminded of the baby that they lost and she cannot handle that. Blair demands Todd get the baby out of the house.  Blair leaves the room. Todd then vows to never get rid of his son.

Comic Relief:

Todd tries to convince Blair she really wants the baby her gave her.

Todd:  “You, maybe later, could get your mind around the idea of a kid runnin’ around with crayons on the wall and throwin’ up lunch all over the floor.”
