Bo/Alex:  To Find a Killer!!

At Asa’s lodge, Bo is looking for the mysterious thing Asa told him to look for at the reading of the will.  Bo soon finds a prescription bottle hidden underneath the cushions of the couch.  The police arrive with Alex whom they picked up for trespassing on the property.  Bo gives the prescription bottle to the police officers to take to the lab to be analyzed.  Alex tells Bo she wants to help him find out who murdered Asa.  Bo doesn’t want Alex anywhere around the investigation.  Alex claims, however, she can give Bo proof Asa was murdered.  Alex offers to sleep with Max to get him to confess.  Bo refuses her help.  Alex then comes on to Bo in hopes Bo will change his mind.  Bo loans Alex money for Asa’s monument, with Alex saying she really did love Asa.  Bo gets a call from the police lab with the test results on the prescription he found.  As he suspected, it was poison.

Gabrielle/Max:  Who Can You Trust??

At Asa’s mansion, Gabrielle apologizes to Asa’s urn.  Max comes in and asks what she did that she feels the need to apologize for.  Gabrielle covers by saying she is going to give a lot of Asa’s belongings away and Asa wouldn’t have approved.  Gabrielle and Max, as they discuss Asa’s death, realize Bo is suspecting them and using them to work against each other.  Gabrielle and Max embrace after they decide they can trust each other.  Max assures Gabrielle he loves her and then they share a kiss.  They begin to make love in the bedroom, but the conversation turns to Asa’s death again.  In the meantime, Alex sneaks into the mansion in hopes of finding evidence of Asa’s killer.  Max and Gabrielle decide to stop and go to the cabin to hunt for what Asa told Bo to look for.  Gabrielle and Max leave.  Alex then enters the bedroom.

Hank/Rae:  To Tell the Truth!!

In Hank’s office, Hank and Rae discuss R.J. knowing Keri is really his daughter.  Hank is waiting for a return call from Elizabeth.  He wants to warn her that R.J. knows the truth and is probably going to confront Elizabeth.  Hank wants desperately to explain why he had to tell R.J. the truth; despite the fact Elizabeth always wanted it to be a secret.  Hank hopes Elizabeth will convince R.J. not to tell Keri.  Rae believes Keri needs to know the truth.  She is old enough to make up her own mind about her father.  Hanks does admit if R.J. tells Keri first it would be awful.

R.J./Keri:  Who’s Your Daddy??

R.J. arrives at Nora’s house and wants to talk to Keri.  Keri tells R.J. she doesn’t want anything to do with an uncle who is a criminal.  R.J. tries to defend the allegations Keri has heard against him.  R.J. tells Keri he does notice a resemblance to Elizabeth.  Keri realizing R.J. knows her mother, Keri asks about their relationship.  R.J. admits to knowing Keri’s mother but last saw her before Keri was born.  R.J. has difficulty but finally tells Keri that he, not Hank, is Keri’s father.

Viki/Starr/Blair/Bo:  Starr’s Got Guts!!

Viki arrives at Dorian’s after getting a call from Starr.  When she arrives, she finds Blair locked in a closet.  Viki gets the key from Starr and lets Blair out.  Starr tells Viki she locked Blair in the closet because Blair was going to take her away and she called Viki to come and straighten things out.  Blair doesn’t want Todd to take Starr away, she tells Viki.  She tells Viki of the conversations where Todd said he has a surprise concerning their child.  Viki plays devil’s advocate and suggests maybe it’s a nice surprise Todd has in store for Blair.  Viki thinks the surprise is that Todd forgives Blair.  Viki encourages Blair to be honest about her feelings.  Blair claims she loves Todd very much.  Viki tries to remind Blair of Todd’s positive attributes.  Starr overhears the conversation and runs in the room after she realizes Blair and Starr are not leaving.  Blair confirms for Starr that they are staying here.  Starr and Viki are very happy about Blair’s decision.  Viki leaves.  Bo soon arrives and tells Blair he found a prescription bottle with pills in it that have been laced with poison.  Those particular ingredients can only be found at one store in the area and the only person that bought the poison recently was Blair.

Todd/Buck:  The Truth Comes Out!!

While in a jail cell, Todd insists to Buck the baby is his.  Todd emphatically insists Buck’s wife bought “Jeter”.  Buck leaves and Todd begins to fake needing medication (he begins foaming at the mouth) to get the guard to open the cell door.  When the guard tends to him, Todd steals a set of keys from the guard and tries to unlock the cell.  Todd stole the guard’s personal house keys, not the cell keys. 

Buck returns and tells the guard to open the cell door.  Buck tells Todd his wife confessed she bought the baby.  Buck tells Todd he is free to go.  Todd, however, wants his baby before he leaves.  Buck tells Todd he hired some people to hide the baby.  Todd threatens to have Buck and his wife put in jail if Buck does not get him the baby.

Later, a heartbroken Buck returns with the baby and lovingly hands him to Todd.  Todd seems to be very taken with the baby and tells him he looks like Starr.  Todd collects the baby’s things and leaves the jailhouse.

Comic Relief:

Todd foaming at the mouth in jail was hilarious as well as disgusting.  Todd grabbed his throat and acted as though he was choking as saliva ran out of his mouth.  This was pure Todd doing anything it takes to get what he wants!
