One Life to Live Recap for Thursday, October 4, 2001

Keri/Hank:  Surprise!!!

Keri seeks out Hank at the police station.    They begin talking in Bo’s office.  Keri reveals she is the one living in Nora’s house.  Keri fills Hank in on her background as a friend on Rachel’s and being a professor at Llanview University.

Bo storms into his office upset at himself for treating Melanie badly.  Keri leaves Hank and Bo alone to talk.  Keri waits for Hank in the squad room.

Bo, meanwhile, tells Hanks he was too hard on Melanie.  Bo still wants to marry Melanie and leaves to tell her that very thing.

Hank and Keri resume their conversation.  Keri then tells Hank that she is his daughter!

Lindsay/Melanie/Bo:  Liar, Liar!!!

While in Bo’s garret, Lindsay and Melanie discuss ways for Melanie to get Bo back.  Lindsay suggests that Melanie “die”.  Melanie doesn’t want to stoop to do just what Lindsay would do if she were in the same situation Melanie is in now.  Lindsay, however, insists her plan will work.

Melanie grapples with what to do.  She becomes suspicious of Lindsay’s motives.  Why is Lindsay helping her?  Lindsay claims she wants to help her sister and feels guilty about telling Bo there is no Aunt Louise.  Lindsay leaves Melanie alone.  Melanie is then seen opening her laptop computer with a Llanview Hospital page on the screen.

Bo comes in later to see Melanie packing and saying their relationship is over.  Bo insists the lie Melanie told was just a mistake.  Bo does not think Melanie is a liar.  Melanie says she found out something and “the clock is ticking.”  Evidently Melanie has agreed to go along with the plan Lindsay has cooked up.  Bo assumes Melanie is pregnant, which she quickly denies.  Bo wants Melanie to stay, but Melanie continues to insist on leaving.  Bo desperately tries to get Melanie to tell him what is going on.  Melanie runs out of the garret.

Later, Bo finds the fake hospital form Melanie had earlier been working on.  The form says someone has leukemia and the prognosis is not good. 

Natalie/Seth/Jessica:  Second Thoughts???

At the carriage house, Natalie and Seth contemplate their imminent success in getting what they want.  As they are talking, Jessica walks in and asks what they are talking about.  Natalie covers by saying they were talking about a school project.  Jessica invites Seth and Natalie to join her at Viki and Ben’s cabin on Llantano Mountain.  Seth and Natalie both decline.  When Jessica leaves for a minute, Seth tells Natalie he doesn’t want to go forward with the plan to ruin Jessica.  Natalie reminds Seth of his poor upbringing and that soon he will have plenty of money if he continues with their plan. 

Seth changes his mind and decides to go with Jessica to the cabin.  Seth and Jessica leave the carriage house leaving Natalie alone.

Seth and Jessica arrive at the cabin after Seth gets the car stuck in the mud.  Jessica tries to call for help but her cell phone is dead and there is no phone at the cabin.  Jessica and Seth prepare to spend the night, finding plenty of food and clean clothes for Seth.

Jessica tells Seth a story about her childhood as he looks at a framed photograph.  Seth, it appears, comes to more of a realization that the plot against Jessica is wrong and wants no part of it. 

“Dave”/Allison/Rae:  The Cage is Opening!!!

In the hallway at St. Ann’s, Rae tells Allison she will be released for good tomorrow.  Allison is ecstatic!  Ben as “Dave” is snooping in Allison’s room and finds her diary.  “Dave” puts the diary in his pocket as Allison comes in her room to find him there.  She asks him what he is doing.  “Dave” covers by saying he is looking for the book Viki wrote that he had given her.  Allison tells “Dave” of her release and shows him pictures of houses she is considering buying.  Allison says she will soon have enough money to buy a huge house like the ones in the brochures.

Allison discovers her diary missing, but quickly says she probably misplaced it.  Allison invites “Dave” to live with her when she buys her new house.

A Sister comes into Allison’s room and tells “Dave” that visiting hours are over.  “Dave” leaves with the diary that suggests that Allison has another person helping her with her plans for when she is released from St. Ann’s. 

After “Dave” is gone, Allison makes a cell phone call to Natalie to tell her she is getting out of St. Ann’s tomorrow.

R.J./Cristian/Antonio:  Brothers Stick Together!!!

Cristian confronts R.J. in the park about Keith and his suspicions that R.J. hired him to kill Cristian.   Cristian tells R.J. the guy R.J. was just talking to in the park tried to strangle him.  R.J., of course, denies any involvement.  Cristian doesn’t buy it.  Antonio shows up and tells R.J. that he also thinks R.J. is involved.

Cristian and Antonio pretend to be at odds again in front of R.J.  R.J. sees right through the fake animosity.  R.J. leaves.  Antonio and Cristian argue about Cristian revealing his suspicions to R.J.  Antonio tells Cristian about the rat poison being found in the drink Jen almost ingested.  Cristian, furious, tries to go after R.J. but Antonio stops him.  Antonio calms Cristian down and wants him to go home and lay low while Antonio arranges for 24-hour surveillance at Cristian’s apartment.  Antonio plans to get the guy that tried to kill Cristian to implicate R.J.  They both leave the park.

Jen/Keith/Cristian:  The Wait is Finally Over!!!

Jen is alone in Cristian’s apartment making a surprise dinner.  Keith is seen lurking around outside Cristian’s door.  Jen opens the door and sees the apartment supervisor standing there.  After the super leaves, Keith comes out of hiding.  (The viewer, of course, thought Keith would be at the door when Jen opened it.)  Keith then receives a cell phone call from R.J. who wants to meet with him ASAP.  Keith leaves to meet R.J. at the park.

Cristian arrives to see the special dinner Jen has arranged for them.  Cristian and Jen profess their love for one another and share a passionate kiss.  They then discuss their extreme love for each other, once again, and they both agree they do not want to wait any longer to make love.  Cris and Jen (finally!) begin to make love!

R.J./Keith:  Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off!!!

In the park, R.J. tells Keith he is not to kill Cristian.  R.J. calls the plan off and tells Keith to take the money R.J. gave him and leave town.  Keith refuses.

Comic Relief of the Episode:

It was slim pickin’s today, folks!  I did think this little part was cute.

Allison discovers her diary is missing.

The innocent, childlike “Dave”:  “You had a diary?  What kind?”

Allison:  “Personal”.

“Dave”:  “I have a blue one that they make me write down every time I take a pill.  What         color is yours?  I’ll help you look.”
