ONE LIFE TO LIVE RECAP FOR MONDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2001
 
<<< BACK TO RECAPS  INDEX

HOSPITAL

Will told Jessica that whoever gave the fake ID to his sister was going
to pay! Cris was in the room when Jen opened her eyes. He told her what
had happened and she admitted to taking the ID from his bar.

TAINTED LOVE

Rae told Adam Chandler that she didn't give Skye this new information.
Todd Manning had! Adam told Skye that she was an adopted Chandler.

MOTHER AND 'SONS'

Renee told Ben they were doing tests on Asa and she was upset. Ben had
never meant for her to find out the truth at all! Ben had discovered that
Asa was not only the person who had killed his sister Grace, but his
father too! It was too much for him to take! Renee didn't want Ben for a
son because he was a liar just like Max!

PLOT THICKENS

Max told Nora that Asa need a pacemaker and Asa was his first priority!
Nora reminded him that if Todd found out he had been set up, he and Blair
could still get out of trouble!

JAIL BIRDS

Blair congratulated Todd on their spectacular wedding night
accommodations! He insisted that she had always been the one who excelled
at lying! She demanded to know why he was doing all of this! The day was
supposed to have been for 'their' revenge, not his alone!

PLOT THICKENS

Max felt that Blair ought to pay for having shot him! They had renewed
their wedding vows and the next day she turned a computer virus loose to
destroy him! Nora remembered that Max had then ran to Skye. A jury might
find what Blair had done justifiable!

MOTHER AND 'SONS'

Max had lied to Renee repeatedly and Ben had lied too! He never meant to
hurt her, but she had confided in him and he listened to her! He knew
about Max, he knew it all and had kept silent! He wanted to tell her but
Asa was the impediment! What about her, if he cared for her why hadn't he
told her! If she cared for him, why had she given him up all those years
ago!

BROTHERLY LOVE

Will lectured Jen about drinking to excess and almost dying. He offered
her a deal. If she told him where she had gotten the fake ID, he wouldn't
call their parents and tell them what she had done! She told Will she
made it herself using a computer. He didn't believe her but Jess talked
him out of turning her in!

TAINTED LOVE

Rae said her baby girl had been taken from her and she wanted to know
how, had Adam stolen her! Skye said she too, wanted an explanation! He
told them both he was unaware that Skye was adopted or stolen! He used to
go on numerous business trips. One time he had been away for seven
months. When he returned, his wife Althea was holding a baby girl in her
arms. Years later, a lawyer had tried to extort money from him, claiming
that Althea had 'bought' Skye but he'd thrown the man out! He didn't see
the point in telling Skye the truth after all those years. He loved her
and she was his daughter! Skye turned on him bitterly and said he had
done what was best for him, as usual!

MOTHER AND 'SONS'

Renee had given Ben up because Asa had been married with a family at that
time. She didn't want to be a single mom to him because she was the madam
at a brothel. She wanted a better life for him! Things were different
then, a woman couldn't just raise a baby alone! Ben said he had almost
lost Viki for keeping the secret. He hadn't wanted to deal with having
Asa for a father! He told Renee she had given up her rights when she gave
him away, thereby forfeiting her 'right to know'!

JAIL BIRDS

Blair demanded to know what she had done to deserve this! Todd yelled
that she had betrayed him, but she didn't know how or why! He had been
stupid to think that she was over Max! She had shot him so no one else
could have him! She had never loved Todd but used him to buy his silence
in the shooting! Blair said that being in love with Todd equaled being in
pain and here it was again! She would go to prison and he would get
custody of Starr! Had that been his true intention from the start!

HOSPITAL

Jen wondered why Cris would be concerned for her. It had been his ID and
he felt responsible, but she had been the one who had taken it! She had
wanted to talk and he had put he off, maybe now she could tell him what
the family problem was. He asked where she had been before coming to the
club and she said she had been with Colin! 
Outside the room Jess calmed Will but Sam showed up looking for Ben! The
nurse alerted him to his daughter's admission and he ran straight to her
room! He yelled at Will for not telling him and then tried to hold Cris
but Jen explained that Cris had saved her life!

PLOT THICKENS

Max's plot had worked! Todd had turned on Blair, he had turned on
everyone! Nora wondered why he had taken such a huge risk that Todd knew
he wasn't Asa's son. Max liked to gamble and hadn't wanted to wait for
possibly years to see if they might drop a bomb on him! He wanted to
remain Asa's son. The idea originated when he had his brain aneurysm, and
thought he was going to die. He wanted to be part of a family and leave
his kids something more than memories.

JAIL BIRDS

Todd yelled at Blair that she was not the victim this time! He had been a
replacement of Buchanan money for her! She insisted she didn't love Max,
she loved him! Max had done 'something', he had something to do with all
of this, but she didn't know what!

MOTHER AND 'SONS'

Ben assured Renee that he had been happy with the Davidson's, although
his father had been involved with the mob. His mother had been much like
Renee, warm, kind and generous. They both had faced some hard choices. He
had a brother and sister but had lost too many people from his life. He
didn't want to lose Renee too! The silver dollar she had given him he
always kept close to his heart, and he kept her there, too. Renee
remembered that the lucky dollar had saved his life by stopping a bullet!

TAINTED LOVE

Skye tearfully and angrily told Adam he had never cared for her! Where
had he been when she was in jail on Christmas and New Year's! He had sent
his best lawyers but she had wanted her father not a lawyer! She was not
his daughter, he had never helped her, he had only flung money at her!
She was a baby who had been stolen by his drunken lunatic ex-wife! Rae
interjected that her father really did love her and Skye wanted to know
whom her real father was because she didn't know him! She dejectedly told
them she had no parents, she was nobody. Rae said you couldn't change the
past but seeing Skye in pain broke her heart! Skye told them both to get
out! Adam was upset and Rae in tears. They glared at one another briefly
before making their separate departures.

FINAL MOMENTS...

Renee didn't know if she and Ben could have a relationship. Her husband
needed her and they both had lost a 'son' that day!

Nora asked Max if he had another plan ready to go and he smiled. I f he
didn't have a way out he was going to prison! His only problem he
insisted, was making sure Todd and Blair didn't find him out!

Blair fairly screamed that nothing had happened between her and Max! Todd
said she had married him the first time for his money. She said he ruined
their second wedding by running off to Ireland to help Marty and getting
himself shot! He said she could run her line of garbage on anyone she
wanted but they both knew exactly what happened and what the truth was!
