One Life to Live Recap for Tuesday, August 6, 2002

Llanview Police Department 

Bo and Antonio look at the evidence bag, which contains R.J.'s money clip and his fingerprints. Bo asks Antonio if he wants him to handle the rest of what is about to come down, but Antonio tells Bo it is his job and he will handle the task of questioning R.J. about being an accomplice in Lindsay and Allison's escape from prison. He tells Bo that he will then face the sad reality of telling his fiancé that her father is a suspect.

R.J.'s apartment

R.J. picks up the videotape of the wedding show that he had taped so that he could watch it with Keri in order to use her for his alibi. He remembers what he did while he holds it in his hands. He throws it in a trash bag and goes to the door. Keri stops him. She is still feeling worse and proceeds to tell him about a terrible dream that she had, and how horrible she feels.

Rae's house

A freshly showered Lindsay comes downstairs talking to Allison, but she is nowhere around.  Meanwhile, in the basement, Allison is sitting with her in-house basement prisoner, Roxy.  Allison is laughing at Roxy about Max's brush-off on the telephone.  As Roxy pleads with her, Allison gags her and then she picks up a rope. She tells Roxy her time is just about up. Lindsay hollers down the stairs, searching for Allison, stopping her from finishing Roxy off.

Llanview Hospital

Cristian tells Jen that he and Natalie were together in her hotel room and that Natalie couldn't have started the fire in her bedroom. Al looks on as if he has hit the jackpot! Jen is crushed.

Llanfair

Ben starts to remember more about the night of his accident and then sees a surgical glove on someone's hand, and then hears Viki's voice. He remembers telling her to stop lying. He wonders out loud what she was lying about. Downstairs, Niki races around trying to get out of the house without anymore delay. Everywhere she looks, there are police guards standing in her way. She is beside herself. She is stuck and can't get out.

Somewhere in the South Pacific

While Todd and Tea kiss, Ross announces his arrival, looking all over for the shirt Tea is holding. Todd and Tea part and they look at him in astonishment.

Llanview Police Department

Later, Bo tells Antonio that Lindsay and Allison were spotted in Pittsburgh. They both don't by it and agree to keep the search going in Llanview for them. Antonio decides to go question R.J. Bo tells him he is sorry because he hates knowing what this will do to Keri.

Rae's house

Allison tells Lindsay there is a rat downstairs in basement and orders her to stay upstairs. Lindsay tells her it is time she faces her fears and is coming down anyway.

Llanview Hospital

Jen asks Cristian what he was doing in Natalie's hotel room, and he tells her that he had found some evidence about Ben's accident, and Al goes ballistic, for affect mainly. Al pops off with the fact that Natalie is the prime suspect and he must be crazy taking evidence to her. Cristian tells him to stay out of it and it is none of his business. Sam wants Cristian to tell him about it, but Cristian tells Sam he must talk to Commissioner Buchanan first. Of course, Al is adding his two cents worth at every turn. Bo finally calls Cristian (cell phones in the hospital again) and he tells everyone he has to go talk to Bo. As Jen goes back to her room, Al attacks Natalie and tells her she is lying about something and he is going to find out what it is. Al accuses Natalie of starting the fire.  Natalie figures out that Al was there before anybody. She accuses him of setting the fire himself. Al freaks out and starts to stutter. He always stutters, especially when he is backed in a corner, but he does his usual side-step two-step out of this latest development.

Llanfair

Niki deliberately calls the house phone from her cell phone to get the police out of her house. She tells them that the gardener has spotted Allison near the garden shed.  They take off.  She makes sure she has money and her passport.  As she goes running to the doors, Ben stands in her way. He says, "You're trying to run away, aren't you?" Niki is stopped dead in her tracks. She doesn't even blink.  Niki finally tells Ben she isn't running away, she was only going to the Banner. He accuses her of holding something behind her back and when he grabs her hand he realizes she was the one wearing the gloves.

Rae's house

Lindsay goes on and on about something on Rae's basement floor, thinking that Allison killed a rat. She never even sees Roxy lying on the floor under a tarp.

R.J.'s apartment

R.J. tells her he is just taking the trash out and convinces her to go take a hot bath. As he goes to take out the trash, Antonio greets him at the door.  Antonio tells R.J. he isn't there to see Keri and asks R.J. if he has lost anything lately, something Keri bought him. R.J. realizes he must have dropped his money clip thinking back when he gave Lindsay some money when they escaped, and then Antonio holds up the evidence bag and asks R.J. if the money clip is what he is looking for.

Llanview Police Department

Cristian hands over the sack he found in the garden shed at Llanfair to Bo. As Cristian goes through each piece of evidence in the sack, Bo isn't convinced about Natalie's innocence because of Jessica seeing Natalie in the window. Cristian shows Bo the red wig. He asks Cristian who was wearing the wig and Cristian tells him, that he thinks it was Mrs. Davidson.

Somewhere in the South Pacific

Tea runs to Ross and hugs him. She was sure he was dead after she found his shirt. Todd pretends to ignore them by throwing rocks. Ross asks them if they have kissed and made up. They both tried to talk their way out of the kiss. Tea tells Ross she is so glad he is alive. Ross tells them the boat was a piece of junk and he tells Tea he came back to get her. Ross falls down on the beach because he was dehydrated. She helps him up and to the cave.

Llanfair

Ben tells Viki she was the one wearing the gloves he saw. She convinces him they were gardening gloves. As Niki tells him that he is letting his imagination run wild, she walks away from him and he remembers. Ben remembers she was wearing the red wig and she was saying the same thing to him about his imagination. Ben grabs Viki and turns her around to confront her and tells her she was the one wearing the red wig.

R.J.'s apartment

Of course R.J. comes up with a story and tells Antonio that he lost the money clip at Capricorn. He tells him it was lifted, and says someone must have taken it. Antonio and R.J. get heated and Keri walks in on them. She asks Antonio why he is yelling at her father.

Rae's house

Lindsay wants her half of the money R.J. gave them. She and Allison get into an argument about the money; splitting up; and staying together. They both realize that they need to somehow figure out a way that they can be safe and never have to return to prison. Lindsay finally comes up with a plan to see what the police are doing by listening to the news. The disc jockey announces that the two fugitives from Statesville have been spotted in Pittsburgh. Lindsay and Allison scream with delight. As they rejoice, however, their joy is cut short, as the disc jockey prepares to go to a commercial, he tells his listeners about a fire on the Claire Street. Lindsay freaks out and grabs Allison. She tells Allison that is where Sam lives.

Llanview Hospital

As Al and Natalie listen in, Sam tries hard to reassure Jen about the fire. He tells her not to worry about who set the fire, the police will find out who did it. He tells her it might even be a former, disgruntled client. He tells her to let the police do their job and she need to do hers by recuperating from this ordeal. As Sam leaves, Al while hovering nearby, runs to her side. Jen tells him she needs to talk to Natalie alone.  Al leaves and Jen demands answers from Natalie. Jen tells Natalie she almost died in the fire and she deserves answers; straight answers.

Somewhere in the South Pacific

Tea tends to a very tired and dehydrated Ross. She tries to get him to take water, while he lies on the ground, in the cave.  Tea caresses his face and he asks her if he told her that he came back for her. She tells him he did, and then he tells her about the boat falling to pieces. Todd comes unglued while listening to his story. Of course Todd gets it all wrong and overreacts. Ross accuses him of being upset because he came back and ruined what Todd and Tea had going on. Todd tells him there is nothing going on, and goes off to pout doing what Todd does best! Ross tells him there are shipping lanes out there and they need to get out of there before the storm season, because the ships will then go on different routes. He tells them they need to build a raft and get out of there, and he offers to take Todd with them.

R.J.'s apartment

Keri wants Antonio to tell her what is going on. He tells her he is there investigating a prison break that happened this evening and they believe R.J. helped them. Keri look up at R.J. in disbelief.

Llanview Police Department

Cristian tells Bo that Viki has been trying to convince Natalie that she has DID and he thinks that Natalie isn't the one with DID, Viki is. Cristian tries to convince him how strange she has been acting and Bo finally realizes that Niki Smith is back and she is the one who pushed Ben out of the window.

Llanfair

Niki tells Ben he is hurting her and tries to pull away from his grip on her arms. She tells him he is suffering from post-traumatic shock or something and he yells at her to stop lying to him and he remembers saying that to her just before she pushed him out of the window. He sees her as Viki and then he sees her as Niki, in the red wig, and he yells at her, "It was you, you pushed me you of the window!"

Stay tuned . . .
