Llanfair

Roxanne wants to see Jessica. Viki tries to get rid of her, but Roxanne claims she has the right to see her ‘daughter’ and isn’t leaving until she does. Viki tries to make Roxanne understand that they are all victims of Allison’s cruel actions. Roxanne isn’t interested in any of that; she just wants to meet Jessica. Viki isn’t about to let that happen – she isn’t convinced that Roxanne wasn’t in on the plot with Allison.

Viki tries to find some form of motherly instinct in Roxanne. Roxanne points out that Natalie isn’t sorry that she isn’t her mother, so why should she have any feelings for Natalie? Viki vows to keep Roxanne far away from Jessica. Roxanne claims she has every right to see Jessica and Viki can’t stop her. I can! Natalie says.

Natalie blasts Roxanne for her horrible childhood. Roxanne claims her maternal instinct kicked in when she found out about Jessica. Natalie intends to tell Jessica everything about her ‘mother’ Roxanne. Roxanne threatens to hit Natalie, but Viki stops her and orders her out of the house. Roxanne vows to return.

Viki comforts Natalie after throwing Roxanne out of the house. The two seem to be bonding until Viki asks where Jessica is and Natalie remembers that she will always be second best in Viki’s heart. Natalie will content herself with the house, the clothes and the money; she doesn’t need parents at this point in her life.

NYC: Modeling Agency Office

Jen kisses Al when she sees Cris enter the office. Cris wonders what Al is doing in NYC. Al says it’s none of his business. As Cris is about to leave, Jen stops him to let him know she is going back to Llanview – modeling didn’t work out for her.

Cris asks if she is serious about Al. Jen tells him she and Al are together. Isn’t that what he wanted? Jen wonders. Al is listening to their conversation as Jen tells Cris how much Al cares about her. Cris wishes Jen well and leaves. He runs into Peg on his way out and she tells him to get lost. Cris is leaving when Antonio shows up.

Cris tells Antonio about Jen and Al. Cris knows he did the right thing, but it still hurts to see Jen with someone else. Antonio reminds Cris that Jen’s safety is the most important thing.

Jen apologizes to Al for kissing him to make Cris jealous. Al assures her that he cares about her and will help her in any way he can. Jen doesn’t really want to go back to Llanview, so Al uses his position as Asa’s son to strong-arm Peg into firing the photographer and giving Jen another chance. Peg caves and offers Jen the assignment with a new photographer. Jen is grateful to Al for the second chance. They plan a celebratory dinner.

Dorian’s Mansion

Todd calls Blair to tell her he is on his way back and that he has a big surprise for her and Starr. Blair wants to know what he is up to. Todd swears he has fixed everything. Blair apologizes for the whole mess. Todd tries to interrupt, but Blair begs for his forgiveness and asks him to come back.

Todd says he has done something. Blair is confused when Todd says it’s about their child. Starr is afraid Todd is going to take her away again. Starr has a ‘South Park’ vision of her parents fighting and her father taking her away from her mother. She gets upset and grabs the phone away from Blair, just as Todd admits the baby is alive.

Blair calms Starr down and hangs up on Todd without hearing his confession. She tells Starr that Todd is still very angry, but promises that Todd will not take her away from Blair. Blair sends Starr upstairs to do her homework so she can come up with a plan to prevent Todd from taking Starr away. Blair hits upon an idea and packs her bags…

Buck’s House

Todd is about to leave with the baby when Buck confronts him. He tries to talk his way out of the situation, but finally informs Buck that ‘Jeter’ is Todd’s baby.

NYC: Diner

Keith joins Jess and quizzes her about Cris. Jess wants to know if he is the reason Cris can’t go back to Llanview. Keith pretends to be an old friend of Cristian’s from art school. He tries to get Jess to give him an address or phone number for Cris, but Jess is suspicious and refuses to give him any information.

She leaves, but Keith discovers her jacket in the booth and rifles through the pockets. Jess catches him and he covers, saying he intended to return the jacket. Jess asks the waitress for directions to her hotel. Keith overhears and follows her. He grabs Jess when she arrives at the hotel and demands that she tell him where he can find Cris.
