Club Capricorn

RJ gives Chad the cold shoulder since he refused RJ’s request for ‘extra’ work. Seth thinks Chad made the right decision. Carlotta enters and returns Keri’s credit card bill to RJ. He pretends not to know what she is talking about. Carlotta calls his bluff – she will not allow RJ to use her to come between Keri and Antonio. RJ denies her charge and claims she has been the one trying to break up the young couple. He says if it’s meant to be nothing will come between them. Carlotta taunts him about his failed relationship with Téa and reminds him he will lose Keri the same as he lost Téa if he doesn’t change his ways.

Carlotta tells RJ that Téa is in Llanview and evidently hasn’t wanted to see him. RJ didn’t know Téa was in town. He claims he changed for Téa and he is changing for Keri too. Carlotta doesn’t believe him for a minute and promises he will lose Keri soon. She leaves him alone. RJ looks longingly at a picture of Téa.

Chad’s eyes bug out of his head when Blair enters, dressed in a sexy red dress. Asa arrives with his cronies and immediately spies Blair. He sidles over to have a word with her about Todd. Blair reminds him that she doesn’t need anyone. Asa says it’s a good thing because nobody is exactly who she’s got! Blair orders another drink.

Asa brings his friends over to meet Blair. They think she’s hot – even though Asa says she is a slut. Blair leaves them panting and heads off to the ladies’ room. Asa is about to leave when he runs into Jessica, who refuses to call him Grandpa. Jessica is in no mood to forgive him for faking his death. She tells Seth that Rex is in Llanview. They plan to show Rex the town while he is visiting.

Blair flirts with Chad, who is bowled over by her attention. She pays the DJ to spin a song for her. Chad lifts her onto the bar and she sings for him. He tries to leave because he has to get up early but Blair asks him to stay for a private concert. He thinks she has had enough to drink and offers to drive her home. As they are leaving, Blair pushes Chad against the wall and lays a major lip-lock on him!

Statesville

Nora is visiting a client and runs smack into Lindsay. Lindsay tells Nora about her difficulties with Tillie. They share barbs and Nora lets it slip that she is sleeping with Troy. Lindsay is stunned at first but then she wonders if he’s as good with Nora as he was with her. Nora tries to take it back but Lindsay pounces on her. She implies that Troy is using Nora the same way he used her. Nora claims she was beginning to feel sorry for Lindsay but seeing her hateful attitude reminds her that Lindsay got what she deserves. Lindsay asks if Nora knows what she’s getting into with Troy – does she really know him? Lindsay thinks Troy is every bit as insane as Colin is – he just hides it better. Nora stalks out.

After Nora leaves, Lindsay destroys the laundry room in a fit of rage. She is subdued by the guard and taken away.

Troy’s Loft

‘Viki’ pays a visit to Troy and begs him to give Ben more hours at the clinic. Troy thinks it’s a strange request, but he agrees. ‘Viki’ then asks if Troy would be willing to go on a blind date with Gabrielle. When he tells her he is seeing Nora, ‘Viki’ launches into a tirade about what a tart Nora is. Troy is startled by her bizarre behavior and asks if she is feeling well. ‘Viki’ says she just had too much caffeine and beats a hasty retreat.

After her confrontation with Lindsay, Nora shows up at Troy’s loft. She throws herself into Troy’s arms and tells him about her encounter with Lindsay. Nora believes in Troy despite the doubts Lindsay tried to plant in her head.

Llanfair

Natalie returns from Vegas and runs into Rex in Jessica’s bedroom. Jessica leaves them alone to talk. Natalie asks why Rex never answered her letters. He never received them. Natalie is relieved to see her brother and know that he is okay. He lies to her about how he found out about the baby switch – he says Jessica told him.

Natalie and Rex reminisce about their childhood with Roxy. He returns a toy she gave him when Aunt Corrine took him away. Natalie is touched. Rex is grateful to Natalie for the way she protected him when he was a kid. He is sad because they are not siblings but Natalie insists they will always be family, no matter what.

Rex wants Natalie to show him around town. She agrees and sends him downstairs to wait for her while she changes. Meanwhile, Niki has returned home. Rex walks in on Niki’s tirade against Ben, Bo and Troy. He is perplexed by her strange behavior. Niki berates him for spying on her. Just as she is yelling at Rex, Natalie comes down the stairs and Jessica returns with Seth. They want to know what’s happening…
