Llanview Hospital

Troy calls Blair and leaves a message, telling her that he is a bit concerned having not heard from her in a while. Suddenly, an emergency crew interrupts him, with Lindsay in tow. One of the EMT’s crew tells Troy they found her after she fell down a flight of stairs at St. Anne’s, and then adds, while trying to escape.

The Diner

Matthew, Bo and Nora arrive for sundaes, enjoying a rather comfy family moment, while Gabrielle watches from outside the door. Marcie calls Al to find out where he is and he answers thinking it is his drug connection. After Gabrielle spies on the trio inside for a while she enters to break up their happy, family moment. Gabrielle asks Nora for a moment of her time, and after Matthew is sent to find Marcie, Gabrielle apologizes to Nora. Bo is pleased and tries to appease the situation she had witnessed when she came in after Nora leaves to tend to Matthew.

Later, at Flash’s hangout Al finds his drug dealer and the guy spots him a couple of pills until he can find some cash.

Llanfair

Dorian is able to distract Mitch momentarily and then he spots Blair’s gloves. Dorian covers telling him they are her gloves. The doorbell rings and he answers the door. Jessica reminds him that he said she could have her car back, and he tells her however, it now comes with conditions. Jessica tells him to forget his conditions. Mitch tells her he just wants her to spend with him. Dorian and Mitch try to talk her into spending time with him. As Jessica and Mitch leave for the garage, Dorian runs to check on Blair, who is down in the secret room snooping around.

Down in the secret room as Dorian enters the doorway Blair stands ready to clobber Mitch over the head with a crowbar. They both catch their breath and Dorian spies Victor’s portrait. She screams at it and then she sees the secret box. She asks Blair how she figured out how to get into the room. Dorian wonders what is in the box and what exactly Mitch is so desperately trying to find hidden in it.

In the garage Jessica smiles when she sees her car. Mitch gets the part for her car and tells her he will put it in for her. Jessica tells him she will do it because she is leaving. He assumed they were going to talk. Jessica asks him what they could possibly have to talk about because he has taken away everything that belonged to her mom and her family. He offers to give it all back and asks will that help?

The Cottage House (AKA Collin and Melanie MacIver’s old house on the OLTL

Lindsay wakes up in the hospital room asking where she is and Troy asks her if she knows who he is? She goes off on how she needs to leave and go pick up her children because Sam is in court. Troy tells her Sam is dead. She tells him Sam can’t be dead because he is in court.

Gabrielle begins to realize that Al lied about needing money. He walks in.

The Cottage House (AKA Collin and Melanie MacIver’s old house on the OLTL

Jessica asks Mitch to tell her why he hates her family and why he feels the need to destroy them. Mitch moves closer to her and offers to tell her everything.

Meanwhile, back in the secret room, Dorian and Blair find a hidden page in the documents Mitch has surrounding the secrets of the secret box and they figure out how to open it.

The Diner

Gabrielle asks Al why he needed the money and why he lied to her. Al gets Marcie to finally catch on and back him up. However, Gabrielle doesn’t seem to buy it. They both rush out.

Llanview Hospital

Nora arrives to find out information about Lindsay. Unfortunately, when she pokes her head in the door to talk to someone, Troy comes walking out. He tells her Lindsay’s injuries are not life threatening and she is very confused.

Llanfair

Mitch tells Jessica about his horrible childhood, one without love and more abuse than anyone could ever imagine. From being starved and held prisoner in a closet to pray with his brother, his father abused them because Mitch’s mother had left all of them. To make matters worse, Mitch tells Jessica that his father murdered his brother and blamed him. His story works for the moment as Jessica stands behind him very torn.

Down in the secret room, Dorian and Blair find the secret box full of sand. Dorian decides she will take the plunge and goes diving in with her hands trying to feel for anything that might be hidden in the sand. She finds a cloth bag and pulls it out. As she opens it, she and Blair witness what appears to be a very big diamond. (Even Liz Taylor would be in awe!) She tells Blair about the history behind the Badhra Diamond, reportedly the largest diamond in the world, and how much Victor worshipped and loved it. She tells Blair that there is also supposed to be a curse attached to it. Blair asks what curse and she tells Blair that whoever owned it would go insane and die.

In the garage, Mitch apologizes to Jessica and tells her that he didn’t tell her about his childhood to gain her sympathy he just wanted her to understand why he left her with Clint and Viki, in order for her to have two parents to love her. She asks him what about Natalie. He tells her he made mistakes and he just wants to be a part of her life. He asks her if he can hold her for a moment and touches her. She pulls away and tells him to get away from her. (Duh! You psycho wacko!!! What were you thinking?)

Flash’s hangout

Al screams at Marcie for telling Gabrielle anything about him and their sessions. Marcie busts Al. She tells him she knows he is doing drugs. She spouts off something about the Voice of the Night. Al goes off on her and tells her that the Voice of the Night is an idiot. He storms out. Marcie is crushed.

Llanview Hospital

Later inside Lindsay’s room, Nora witnesses a very hysterical outburst from Lindsay when she realizes that Sam is dead.

Llanfair

Dorian and Blair hurry to get the room back the way they found it. As they get everything back together, the secret door to the secret room, closes!

Outside in the garage, as Mitch tries to force himself onto Jessica and as she pushes him off of her, she knocks him into a shelf in the garage, causing an open bottle to spill all over him. He screams. . .

Stay tuned. . .
