One Life to Live Recap for Tuesday, June 29, 2004

Trapped in a basement, John and Evangeline submit to sexual desire--complete with prolonged, sweaty foreplay and slight sensual hesitation. After their erotic tryst, they fall asleep together, only to be awakened by pepper spray pointed at them. Fortunately, it's Mary, their contact. Evangeline apologizes, saying that she and John didn't know how long they'd be trapped. John promises to place Mary in a safe house after she talks to a sketch artist about a man she saw fighting with her boyfriend the day before he died. While she packs upstairs, John and Evangeline discuss their impetuous behavior. Although they believe that they acted impulsively and offer apologies to one another, they also agree that they don't regret it.

After she finds him with Sonia, Jess begs Antonio to tell the truth. He lies and tells her that he's been cheating on her. Jess won't believe it, but Sonia approaches and hangs on Antonio. As Jess walks away, Antonio and Sonia make out. Later, Jess attempts to get answers from Bo while Antonio secretly watches her through the office blinds. When she leaves, Antonio tells Bo that Jess needs to stay far away from this case; that's the only way he can protect her. Afterwards, when Antonio sees the sketch of the man that Mary described, he tells John that he has seen the man at The Hook Up. Meanwhile at The Hook Up, the same man stands with Sonia as he takes orders (by phone) from another man who tells him to find Mary and kill her.

David asks Kelly why she keeps lying to Kevin. "That can't be love," he tells her. Kevin arrives with another anonymous note that questions Ace's paternity. He demands answers from Kelly, but she remains quiet. Dorian returns home with a bandaged wrist, and Kevin never gets his answers because Dorian insists that Kelly stay and take care of her. Kevin leaves angry.

When Todd and Blair realize that Margaret won't just drop out of their lives, they set a scheme in motion. Todd invites Margaret to the penthouse without Blair, and he pretends to be very interested in her. Blair walks in on them, wielding a gun and threatening to kill them both for having an affair. With a gun in her face and thinking she'll be killed, Margaret admits that she planted the B.E. files in Todd's office and she lied about sleeping with him.

Kelly tells Dorian about the anonymous letters concerning Ace's paternity. Dorian suggests that Kelly tell Kevin the truth if she wants to save her marriage, although Dorian can't fathom why Kelly wants to be with him. Dorian tells her that she will stay by her side no matter what happens.

Dorian tells David that her shoe heel got caught in some carpet, and she fell down the stairs. However, David later finds bruises hidden behind a scarf on Dorian's neck, and he ascertains that she most likely has bruises on the rest of her body too. "Who did this to you? I swear to God I'm going to kill him," he says.

After Margaret is gone, Blair and Todd raise their glasses and toast to the end of Margaret's reign of terror. Blair tells Todd that she believed him all along. She knows that he's a different man now. Kelly calls Todd and wants to see him immediately. "This is all going to end tonight," she tells him.

In mental pieces, Margaret visits Kevin and says that she really messed up. "They found out that everything I said was a lie," she tells him. She tells Kevin that she never slept with Todd, and she's the one who planted the files in his office. Kevin becomes angered by her deception. He fires her and suggests that she find a good lawyer.
