At the Police Station

Troy is still threatening Lindsay, telling her that if she doesn’t confess to what she did to Nora, he will tell Jen what she did with the pregnancy test.  She sees Troy looking out the window of Bo’s office and staring at Nora who has just arrived, and Lindsay vows that she will not confess.  He tells her that he will tell Jen the truth and she will have to live with Jen’s torture of being on the witness stand testifying against her mother..and live with the guilt of putting her mother in jail.  Lindsay says that Jen will never turn on her and Troy reminds her that she will, once she finds out how she tried to break up Jen and Cris.  Lindsay says that Jen is with a wonderful boy now who loves her, but Troy reminds her that he’s not the one Jen loves. 

Jen arrives at the station and wants to know what’s going on.  She goes into Bo’s office where Lindsay hugs her and tells her that no matter what Hank and Bo do, she should not say a word about anything she knows.  Jen is confused and then Bo comes in and tells her she has to wait outside and he tells Lindsay that she can’t be talking to Jen.

Lindsay is worried about Jen and finally agrees that she will give a full confession on tape if they give Jen complete immunity and keep her totally out of this.  Jen is outside with Nora and starts asking Nora if this is about what happened to her after the train wreck and Nora advises her not to say another word until her father gets there.  Hank and Bo agree to Lindsay’s terms and Lindsay refuses to talk until Jen is gone from the station.  Hank tells Jen she’s free to go and she’s confused, but she leaves, although she’s worried about her mother.

Lindsay says she wants Nora and Troy in the room when she tells her story.  They are all there and she begins by bringing up the point that all the men who loved Nora are there.  Sam is not.  Lindsay is going on and on about how Nora has destroyed her life time and time again…how she had each of those men and did something to destroy the relationships…then she once again blames Nora for the loss of her baby that she would have given Bo.  They tell her to get on with the confession and Nora has had enough.  She leaves Bo’s office but Lindsay calls after her saying that if she leaves, she won’t say another word.  Nora stays and Lindsay continues.  She says that when she heard that Nora was dead after the train wreck, it was the happiest time of her life.  She says for those months that Nora was missing she felt like she had a future again.  Then when she found out that Colin had found Nora she knew she had to do something….so she admitted that she had Colin hide Nora.  Hank asked Lindsay about the drug and she admitted that she got the drug and went to Colin’s house with it that night and that she didn’t really think she would use it…but she did.  The confession was out and Lindsay told Nora that she took her beloved Sam from her….that he loved her for the whole 20 years they were married and now she’s broken his heart again.  Nora has nothing to say.  Lindsay is cuffed and taken down to be fingerprinted and put in jail and Nora is left behind with Troy.  Neither of them seems too happy with getting what they wanted and Troy offers to drive Nora home. She says she wants to be alone and he leaves, telling her that if she ever needs anything, she should just call him.

To the Mannings

Starr is still trying to convince Blair and Todd that she wasn’t lying about the man on the wheel and that she didn’t put the spider in Jack’s crib but they don’t believe her and tell her that it has come to the point where she is going to be shrunk by Dr. Rae.  Starr is very unhappy about this and Sam walks in and tells them that Starr was telling the truth about the man on the wheel and the spider.  Starr is thrilled that the truth is finally out.  She says she didn’t mean for the spider to get in Jack’s crib…that she brought it home as proof about the man in the funhouse and it got out accidentally.  Blair and Todd apologize once Sam explains that there was a fire at the funhouse and Starr is a hero because if it weren’t for her, no one would know Troy was there.  Blair and Todd apologize to Starr, but she says that isn’t going to cut it.

Starr is sitting on the steps with Todd and he asks what he has to do to make it up to her and she has a list a mile long of her demand.  She also no longer wants to be called “shorty” and now Todd will call her “Oh great one.”

Sam and Blair are talking and he tells her the story about Nora and Troy.  Blair doesn’t believe that Nora and Troy are an item and Sam tells her Troy is in love with Nora.  Blair says that Nora does love Troy and that Sam and Nora belong together.  Sam tells her it’s over.

As Sam is leaving Todd and Blair’s house, he bumps into Troy.

Al, Cris, Jess, Jen, Seth, etc…..

Chad’s sister Katie is trying to convince Chad that it was really Seth that she met outside Rodi’s and that he tried to hit on her and had a huge wad of money that he was skimming from his job.  Chad is very angry at Seth and Natalie is playing along saying it couldn’t be Seth because he wouldn’t do that and he wouldn’t cheat on Jessica.  Chad asks her why not since he did it to her.  Chad decides to take his sister to the airport and asks Natalie to wait for him.  She takes out a chemistry book, goes to the bartender and says someone left it behind and their name is inside the cover.  The bartender sees it’s Jessica’s book and calls her.  She is at the University looking for Seth, who is nowhere to be found at that moment, and she tells the bartender that she hasn’t been at Rodi’s.  He says he has her book and she agrees to come get it.  She runs into Cris and asks him to come with him so he’ll cheer up about Jen.  Al is still hiding behind the books listening and Cris says he’ll pass on Rodi’s.  They leave and Al comes out…goes to the closet to get his wheelchair and finds the closet locked.  He gets a janitor to open it up and the janitor sees him hop in the wheelchair.  Al tells him it will be their secret.

Everyone has left the university and Seth comes back to the computer room with a book he needs for his paper and starts working on the computer again.

Al goes back and finds Jen who is very upset about her mother.  She starts crying and sits in his lap with her arms around him and Cristian sees the whole thing.

Back at Rodi’s, Natalie is arguing with Chad that it couldn’t be Seth who was hitting on his sister and just then Jess comes in, gets her book and hears them arguing about Seth.

She wants to know what it’s all about and Chad tells her that Seth was there and that he was hitting on his 17-year-old sister…and that Seth said he was just with Jessica for her money.  Natalie is thrilled that this worked out so well.
