<<< BACK TO RECAPS  INDEX

HIGH IDEALS

Nora was perplexed by Will's declaration of being the one to 'set her free'. She questioned him as to whether he had heard or witnessed anything at Colin's that would incriminate Lindsay. She apologized for questioning him about his mother, it wasn't right!

WORST NIGHTMARE

Asa told Renee that Max hadn't come home the night before and he was sure that Ben had him! He told Renee he was having these dreams and they had to do something about them! Ben said that the next time Asa needed his help, he was going to let him die!

BRIDE TO BE

Blair worriedly watched as Todd told John Sykes that their daughter Starr had lied about Rae! Starr did not see her shoot Max, but John had never believed her anyway. Todd apologized for inconveniencing the investigation and offered his and Blair's services for testimony against Skye! He extended an invitation to their wedding with the promise that it would be most interesting!

BEST 'LAID' PLANS

Skye and Max had been the ones who sent John Sykes to Blair's room. They were certain that Todd would be ready to turn against Blair. John had been sent on a wild goose chase, but was now invited to the wedding! Skye pouted about the possibility of going to prison. Max had another trick up his sleeve though, and showed her a piece of paper. Skye nearly clapped her hands in glee and declared Max a genius! Max told Skye to begin the plan without him, as a phone call from Renee proved to be a family emergency!

BRIDE TO BE

Todd told Blair that he believed her and trusted her. She looked at him with such relief and love in her eyes. She reached for him but he forestalled her kiss by gripping her face in his large hands. It was no doubt bad luck to kiss the groom before the ceremony! Blair was counting the minutes until their honeymoon!

HIGH IDEALS

Will faced Nora squarely and they locked eyes. If his mom were the one behind the crime, would she go to prison! There was no certain answer. It would depend upon her state of mind at the time. If she had been coerced, threatened, or if the crime had been planned! The truth, whatever it was, would all come out eventually, it always did. His mom was going through a rough time and was having money trouble. She had been so hurt, especially by Bo and now Will was all that she had in the world! Nora would never force him to say things he would prefer not to tell! He had to be the judge of what was right or wrong. She left; knowing Lindsay's secret was safe, at least for now, with her son!

WORST NIGHTMARE

Asa told Max that he had to be careful until Ben was put away, he was the one who had shot him! Max told him if he wanted to know who had shot him, to come to Todd and Blair's wedding! The truth was going to come out, and the shooter was not Ben Davidson!

BRIDE TO BE

Kelly arrived at Blair's with something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue! Her 'old' was a favorite necklace of Dorian's but Blair asked her to stop pretending that she cared about the wedding! Kelly had done everything in her power to stop it from happening! Kelly apologized and said she was happy if Blair was happy and she was going to be there for her! Blair said she and Todd really loved each other...

PENTHOUSE

Starr hummed 'The Wedding March' as she came down the staircase in her beautiful white dress. She asked her daddy if this was going to be for real this time! Skye showed up and Todd told Starr to go and fix up her hair. Skye baited him about the previous night and he told her to get out! She had further proof and waved a paper in front of his face. It was a document attesting to the fact that Max and Blair had purchased a 'love nest'! Their affair was going to continue even after he and Blair were married!

ROADIE's

Ben and Viki were lunching as he told her Asa's state of mind. He realized that Asa had not been the same since the night in the tack room. Some subconscious part of him must have heard the truth! He was Asa's real son and he could take Max away from him! Viki felt that if Asa had that knowledge buried somewhere deep inside of him, who knew what he might be capable of now! Viki ran off on an errand and Ben took the opportunity to talk with Bo. He asked him if he felt that his father might have been the one to put the hit out on him. Bo admitted that off the record, yes it was a definite possibility!

BRIDE TO BE

Kelly straightened the bed and found Max's monogrammed handkerchief beneath the pillow! Blair said he must have left it there when he had returned to her room the second time! She proudly told Kelly that Todd had trusted her enough to leave her although he knew that Max could make trouble! A flower delivery arrived and Blair hurried to open and view her bridal bouquet. It turned out to be a half-dead bunch of roses with a card that offered 'Deepest Sympathy'!

PENTHOUSE

Todd told Skye that if Blair intended to carry on with Max, she hadn't called off the wedding! With Skye gone, he looked up the property on his laptop and found a country cottage on Rock Ridge Road, right in good old Llanview! Sam arrived next; wondering why he wasn't dressed yet but Todd insisted on bringing Starr over to Blair's himself!

BEST 'LAID' PLANS

Skye told Max that Todd appeared to believe Blair! Was it possible that Todd knew they were behind the whole thing! Even Todd wasn't that good, or was he! He told Skye to give his little plan time to work, and Nora, who stood in the doorway, asked them to tell her what that plan was!

BRIDE TO BE

Kelly reassured Blair that it wasn't an 'omen' because the flowers meant for her had gone to a funeral home and vice-versa! Blair admitted that the last few months with Max had been hell and she was happy at last with Todd! She was going to have a real family! Max had never trusted her or loved her, but Todd did! She told Kelly that it was for real this time!

WORST NIGHTMARE

Asa told Viki that Ben ought to call off his dogs because he was never going to kill Max! Viki knew Asa had attempted to buy Ben off to leave Llanview, but it hadn't worked! Ben didn't want to hurt Asa but Asa said he would after what he had done to him! She asked if he had been the one to have Ben shot, but he wouldn't answer! Viki tried again to lure him back, said the family missed him. Ben would hurt them all, he had seen it in his dreams!

ROADIE's

Bo knew Asa wasn't behind the attempt at the motel because he didn't know where Ben was! Ben knew Asa had the capabilities of finding out whatever he needed to know! When the drive by had happened at Llanfair, the shots had gone wild but that might have been Asa too! Bo was incensed that Ben hadn't called the police when shots had been fired! Ben wondered why he should, because the police were doing such an excellent job with his case! Ben asked Bo to keep his father away from him, and for both of them to keep out of each other's business entirely!

BEST 'LAID' PLANS

Max told Nora that they were taking action because Skye's lawyer hadn't made any progress! Nora informed him that he had nearly gotten her killed at Colin's by not being available when she needed him! He said that he had been shot and Skye had been framed, they were not standing idly by Nora advised Skye as her lawyer, not to take any action on her own! Skye said she wasn't alone, she was with Max! He assured Nora that the guilty parties would be made public that very day! All she had to do was show up at Todd and Blair's wedding!

BRIDE'S DISTRESS

Todd arrived in proper attire and announced that Starr would not be coming to the wedding! Blair said she had been looking forward to it, she was her flower girl! She had pitched a fit in the car over her dress, he had finally taken her to the nanny's! Blair said they would have to call off the wedding, she wouldn't get married without her daughter!

WORST NIGHTMARE

Renee saw that Asa still believed that Ben had shot Max! She asked him to drop the feud and he told her to get her coat. They were going to see a surprise that Max had cooked up!

PENTHOUSE

Viki and Ben arrived at Todd's penthouse to find Sam there by himself. Todd had left with Starr and had not returned. Viki had a bad feeling about that, and they left for the country club...

BRIDAL WOES?

Starr would never forgive them if they got married without her but Todd insisted he wanted to get married! He asked if she had any reason other than Starr, for calling off the wedding. There was nothing that Blair could think of! He explained that this was his day of revenge, all of his enemies in Llanview were going to get what was coming to them! Blair agreed to marry but told him he would have to explain it to Starr! He said there would be nothing to explain!
