Asa’s Mansion

Todd drops by with the tape of Max and Gabrielle. He jokes about Asa’s camera work, but Asa assures him that it is good enough to accomplish their objective.

Gabrielle is in her room praying for Al. She can’t go through with the plan against Max and admits she is still in love with him. She hears Todd outside her bedroom, yelling for her to come out.

Gabrielle joins Todd and Asa as they go over the plan. Gabrielle hasn’t finished her part yet – she’s been a little busy because of what happened with Al. Besides, Gabrielle points out, Max is a bit preoccupied with his wedding today. Todd informs her that Max has canceled the wedding. Gabrielle is incredulous and tries to leave, gloating about the fact that the wedding is off. Asa is worried that Gabrielle is going soft. Todd accuses Gabrielle of changing her mind about getting revenge on Max. Gabrielle taunts Todd about Blair being free now that the wedding is off. Todd thinks Gabrielle is more interested in winning Max back than getting revenge. Todd leaves and Asa warns Gabrielle that she had better not double cross him or he will see that she ends up back in the gutter where she came from.

Gabrielle is distraught; thinking that Asa will take everything away from her. She has a fantasy about Max being accused of killing Asa. She needs to think of another way to accomplish her goal. Gabrielle is stuck until she conjures up an alternate plan – poison Asa for real and get it all!

St. Ann’s

Blair visits Addie to celebrate her birthday. Addie finds a letter Blair wrote to Todd. Blair takes it away from her and says it’s not a love letter, but it is something that Todd should know. Blair has a daydream about Todd finding out that he is the father of the baby – and taking the baby away from her. She rips up the letter.

Blair gives Addie some craft supplies for her birthday, but Addie says the best present is seeing Blair walk through the door. Blair tells her that she has to go away to have the baby. Addie is excited for her, but begs her to return soon. The women say a tearful good bye and Blair leaves. Addie pulls the letter out of the trash and starts to put it back together.

Dave (Ben) runs into a nun outside Allison’s room. The nun tells him that Allison is in a therapy session. Rae spies Ben and warns him to stay away from her patient. Ben tells Rae that Allison went to Llanfair on her ‘day out’ and he believes Allison is up to something. Allison is listening in the shadows.

Rae pleads with Ben to drop it and says she can’t do anything about Allison since her fate is in the hands of the board. Rae leaves and Allison tells Dave she knows what he is up to – Dave follows her into the sitting room. Allison thinks Dave was trying to help her. Dave says he was trying to get Rae to let her go. Allison is grateful and she kisses Dave.

Dave pushes her away and says he is shy because of the nuns. She assures him the nun is gone. Ben sees Todd enter and pulls Allison into a deep kiss. Todd tells them to ‘get a padded room,’ not realizing it is Ben. When Todd leaves, Dave pulls away, but Allison asks him to be part of the ‘big plans’ she has when she gets out. Dave is eager to know what those plans are.

Todd brings a birthday gift for Addie from Starr. Addie hugs him and thanks him for coming, which makes Todd suspicious. He spies the letter that she is trying to piece back together. Addie hands him the letter...

The Park

RJ wants to know if Keith has taken care of Cris. Keith assures his boss that Cris will no longer be a problem. RJ is not convinced that Cris is gone and Keith volunteers to check on him. RJ reminds Keith that he wants Cris gone, not dead. Keith tells him that it is all under control.

Llanview Hospital

Max stops by to visit Al. He tries to distract the reluctant patient, but Al has no time for his absent father. Max tells Al that his wedding to Blair is off. Al thinks Max is going to ignore his new kid, just like he did when Al was little. Max wants to reminisce about the time they spent together when Al was young. Al points out that he is grown now and Max doesn’t owe him anything. Max pleads with Al to give him a second chance, but Al is in no mood to listen to his father and asks him to leave.

Cristian’s Loft

Jen pours the poisoned soda into a glass and prepares to drink it. Cris kisses her and distracts her. They are interrupted by Antonio bringing the mug shots for Cris to identify the person who jumped him in the garage.  Cris is annoyed by Antonio’s persistence in the matter. Antonio points out that by keeping silent, Cris could be endangering someone else. Jen agrees with Antonio, so Cris looks at the photos.

Cris thinks he recognizes one of the mug shots, but it’s a false alarm. Jen gets a call from Al, asking her to visit him. Jen tells Cris she is going to visit her friend, and she leaves behind the poison soda. When Cris walks her out, Keith is waiting in the stairwell. Cris is unable to identify the mugger, so Antonio leaves, after warning his brother to be careful. When Cris goes back into the loft, Keith follows him and grabs him from behind, trying to strangle him with a rope.
