One Life to Live Recap for Monday, February 24, 2003

(Sorry that the recap is not up to the usual detail, I recorded the show and my VCR decided I didn’t need the audio!  Oh, well, I now have a new VCR and hopefully Friday’s recap will be more in depth.  – Leah)

Starr wants her daddy back and blames Blair for him not being there. 

Todd attempts to break into Victor Lord’s crypt.

As an ailing Victor Lord awaits the heart of his granddaughter, Viki and Jessica come face-to-face with him. Viki is in shock to see him alive.

Joey arrives at the Police Station looking for Bo for information on Jessica and Viki. Hank tells him to pray about the situation.

Mitch is ordering the surgeons to rush with the procedure of removing Natalie's heart, but Natalie is resisting the anaesthesia. Viki's voice, calling for her daughter Natalie, distracts the surgeons and Mitch, who rushes out to see what is going on. Victor Lord wants to know who is this Natalie Victoria is talking about.

Asa is on the phone ranting about his wife's spending habits and cancelling her credit cards, Nigel comes in and Asa blames Roxy for alerting Rae about his latest scheme to get rid of her. Asa tells Nigel that he hates Roxy, but as usual Nigel knows all and tells Asa - that he doesn't really hate Roxy, that he actually likes Roxy a lot.

Roxy arrives at the Palace bar with Rex to contemplate a plan to make money, now that she is broke - again.

Viki pushes pass the surgical nurse and threatens the surgeons with a scalpel to get to Natalie. Victor realizes that Mitch tried to pass off Natalie as Jessica. After he realizes they are twins, he asks Viki to choose which daughter should die, because he needs the heart of a Lord. Mitch tries to get Victor to accept Natalie as the donor since she is already on the table and prepped (and he because he wants Jessica alive). Victor orders his henchmen to watch Mitch and insists that Viki choose.

The police, along with Commissioner Bo arrive before Viki can reply and surround Victor, Mitch and the surgeons. Mitch grabs Jessica and pulls out a gun… Antonio comes up behind Mitch, freeing Jessica and grappling with Mitch's gun. Antonio prevails and everyone is arrested. Natalie is taken to the hospital, along with an arrested Victor Lord.

When Jessica arrives at the Police station, Joey comforts her and she fills him in on Victor Lord's scheme. She tells Mitch she had to see him locked up, as he tells her he did it all for her. Viki goes to the hospital to comfort Natalie. She assures Natalie that she loves both her and Jessica and could never chose between the two. Natalie, after witnessing the closeness between Jessica and Viki doesn't quite believe her, although she tells her mother she does.

Rex cons Reene into giving him a job at the Palace as a bartender. Joey arrives at the hospital to support Viki. He receives a call on his cell phone and Viki sends a reluctant Joey away to take care of business. A nurse informs Viki that Victor chances of living are slim.

Mitch tries to convince Jessica that he is a victim of Victor Lord's power and that he wants a chance to be her father. She slaps him and Bo takes him away. She thanks Antonio for saving her life. Nora arrives and Bo fills her in on what happened.

Todd goes to the hospital to confront his father Victor Lord.
