In The Woods

Gina and “Tori” struggle for the gun. Ben rushes to Viki’s aid. Gina gets control and points the gun at Viki. Ben kneels by Viki’s side begging her to wake up. Gina fires a warning shot in the air and tells Ben to look at her – Gina is the victim! Viki is dangerous. Ben warns her to put the gun down. Gina tells him there is nothing to come between them any longer. What we had was over a long time ago, Ben says. Gina insists they can be together. She babbles on about how Viki and her father being gone is a sign. You’re not making sense, Ben sneers.

Gina points the gun at Viki and Ben demands that she hand the gun over. Ben pleads with her to give him the gun. Gina says Viki is gone anyway and that the alters all hate him. Gina confesses that she has always loved Ben and that now is there chance to be together. Ben insists he only loves Viki. Gina doesn’t want to hear it. They hear sirens and Gina realizes Ben turned her in. She feels betrayed and Ben tries to appease her by telling her she can enter the witness protection program. No chance, Gina says. She will have Ben or they will both die.

Gina’s mind slips from reality and when Ben tries to get the gun away from her, she backs away and falls over the cliff. Ben cradles Viki trying to wake her up. She opens her eyes and stares blankly at him…

Sam’s House

Lanie enters looking for Jen. The doorbell rings and Nora has come by to discuss the case regarding Lanie’s father’s death. Lanie is worried because she remembers that Jen told her it was wrong for Lindsay to cover the truth. Nora doesn’t think that is unusual for Lindsay. Lanie thinks Jen was implying that Lindsay was covering up Colin’s death. Where are Sam and Jen? Nora asks.

Lanie doesn’t know. She tells Nora about the mind games Lindsay has been playing with Jen. Nora isn’t surprised, since they are talking about Lindsay. Jen told me that she knew I didn’t kill Colin, Lanie confides. Does Sam know what Lindsay has been up to? Nora queries. Lanie didn’t get a chance to tell him because she got paged to the hospital. Nora heads off to find Sam.

The Gallery

Bo reiterates that Sam knew where to find the murder weapon. Sam offers to take him to where the weapon is hidden. Bo calls his team to meet him in the woods behind Colin’s house. Lindsay asks Sam what Bo will find. Not now, Sam warns her. Jen wants to help and Sam tells her to be strong. Bo and Sam leave to go find the weapon.

Cris asks if he can help and Lindsay tells him to stay away from Jen. Lindsay orders Cris out of the gallery. He tries to tell her that kicking him out won’t help Jen and urges him to leave. Jen says she will be OK and Cris leaves. Jen tells her mother she is tired and goes to the bedroom to rest.

Lindsay answers the door to Nora, who confronts her about what Lanie told her. Lindsay tells Nora that Sam confessed to killing Colin. Nora is stunned. Bo was asking questions and Sam walked in and confessed, Lindsay maintains. No way, Nora says. When Lindsay tells Nora where Sam and Bo are, Nora takes off to find them.

Jen comes back downstairs and declines Lindsay’s help. She tells Lindsay to go help Sam. Lindsay makes her promise not to speak to anyone while she is away and rushes out. Jen calls Will. She is interrupted by Cris knocking at the door. Jen won’t let him in, but Cris apologizes for hounding her since it turned out her father was the killer. Jen asks him to go away. Cris tells her he is sorry and leaves. Jen sinks to the floor.

Sam’s House

Lindsay is pounding on the door. Lanie answers it and Lindsay tells her she may think she got away with murder, but Lindsay will make her pay…

The Woods Behind Colin’s House

Sam leads Bo and his men into the woods and points to where they can locate the fireplace poker. The same one Lanie used? Bo asks. Bo hands Sam a shovel and tells him to start digging. He is still dubious about Sam’s confession. Bo tells him to make a tape explaining what happened and Sam goes into the whole story about Colin threatening Jen and how angry it made him and how he just swung the poker real hard and killed him. Bo rolls his eyes, not believing a word.

What time did you get to Colin’s house? Bo queries. Not too late, Sam evades, but he is sure that it was after Lanie because Colin was stumbling around bleeding from the head and vowing revenge on Lanie. Sam maintains that he thought Colin was drunk – or stoned. Bo informs him that no drugs were found in Colin’s system. What else? Bo asks. Sam says Colin was bragging  about what he had done to Jen and Lanie and Lindsay and what he was going to do to Nora. Sam swears he didn’t know Nora was upstairs while this was happening. Colin boasted that Sam couldn’t stop him and he lunged at Sam. That’s when Sam hit him with the poker. Why was the body gone when I arrived? Bo wonders. Easy, I had already buried it in the woods and had come back to help Nora, Sam boasts. Too neat, Bo counters. Bo still doesn’t believe Sam’s story.

One of Bo’s officers locates the poker. Bo holds up the poker and bags it as evidence. Sam looks on dispassionately. Bo says he has to take Sam in as Nora rushes up to the men. Bo tells her not to interfere, but she insists on accompanying them to the station…

St. Anne’s

Blair is stunned that Rae is to be her therapist. Rae isn’t any more amused by the idea. Rae says she was assigned the case and had no idea it was Blair. Rae refuses to treat her and leaves.

Max runs into Rae on her way out. He is delighted she will be treating Blair. Rae tells him that hell will freeze over before she treats Blair. Max tries to convince her that his baby deserves the best. Rae didn’t know that Blair was pregnant. She softens a bit, but still refuses to help. Max pleads with her to help him be a good father. Rae says Blair’s history with Skye precludes her from helping Blair. Max argues vehemently with her to help him.

Kelly chastises Blair for sending away her ticket to freedom. Blair is sure she can get another shrink. Kelly convinces her to do whatever is necessary to go free. She believes Rae could help Blair get over her sick relationship with Todd. How can I get over him if I’m carrying his baby? Blair wails. What did you say? Max questions.

Blair covers and insists she is carrying Max’s baby. She apologizes to Rae and the two women try to make the best of the situation. Blair is willing to accept Rae’s help. Rae is less than thrilled, but agrees to help her. Max congratulates Blair for making the right decision – whatever will help our baby. Blair sends Kelly down to the cafeteria so she can be alone with Max. Blair says she has something to tell Max. I’m all ears, Max challenges…

Addie is in her room with “Sister Joseph Loretta” and thinks the nun is her knitting teacher. As Todd tries to slip out, Addie fronts him out. Todd turns around and tries to cajole Addie by telling her he is “Sister Kelly Ripa.” Addie points to her picture of Blair and tells Todd that Blair has a secret – a big one. Todd is curious. When he questions her, Addie admits Blair has a secret about Todd. This catches Todd’s attention and he hounds Addie to tell “the Sister” her secret. Addie changes the subject and asks Todd to help her knit. He tries to pry the secret out of her. She closes the door and tells him that Blair isn’t really crazy and that Todd did Blair a favor – because  he loves her. Todd is moved by Addie's confession. Addie goes on to say that if Todd hadn’t lied about not loving Blair, Blair wouldn’t have had to lie about the baby. Todd is perplexed by Addie's admissions.

Todd tries to grill Addie about her confessions when another nun interrupts them. Todd beats a hasty retreat. He is nearly spotted by the head nun, who tells Kelly she is sure Todd is no nun!
