Promo: Will Todd tell Blair the truth about the baby?  There’s more to the story.

 

Segment 1

 

Nora is mesmerized watching Lindsay and Troy, and then suggests she and Sam go somewhere else.  Lindsay takes the talisman and wishes that Nora would stay out of my life.  (Not likely) Nora glares at Lindsay and Troy.

 

Natalie is upset about having to collect phone messages for Jessica.  She stares at the phone, “Seth, call me,  Seth, please call me.”  Jessica and Seth arrive at Llanfair.  Seth wants to know if she will ever be able to forgive him. Natalie listens in from the living room.

 

Max meets a strange man on the docks and gets something from him.  Gabs shows up and wants to know what he is doing.  Hank wonders why Max and Gabs have not been arrested.  Bo says he is waiting for the audio analysis of the tape.  Bo is not convinced that Max and Gabs are actually plotting against Asa.

 

Alex is shocked to see Asa.

 

Blair can’t stop looking at the baby as she holds him.  Todd: That’s the surprise I was talking about.  It’s a baby.  Blair: My baby.  She rocks and smiles down at him.

 

 

Segment 2

Max wants to know why she is early.  He is concerned that Gabs has led the cops right to him.  Gabs says she was not doing anything wrong.  Max: Maybe I was.  She wants to know what he was doing and what the man gave her in the envelope.  He gives Gabs the package.  It is a passport in another name to help her get out of the country. Gabs wants to know why.  Max tells her about the arrest warrant he saw in her name.

 

Bo is not convinced about the logic of Gabs and Max leaving all evidence.  He says we know who sent us all this evidence.  The audio analyst comes in and says the tape is indeed not what it appears to be.

 

Alex thinks Asa is a ghost until he sneezes.

 

Blair is so happy.  He’s beautiful and he’s so happy and he’s smart.  Oh, Todd he smells so wonderful.  He looks like how our baby would look like.  I never thought it would happen even though I dreamed about it.  It’s like at the airport when I heard a baby cry and thought it was my baby.  Todd: Now you know it’s real right?  Blair: Just like I know he’s not really my baby.  Whose is he, Todd?

 

 

Segment 3

 

Nigel tries to cover-up for Asa.  He tells Alex that it is Captain Stuart and that he is Asa’s doppelganger.  Asa goes into an act claiming not to know who this handsome Asa fellow is that he is always mistaken for.  Nigel spins like a master but Alex is not buying it. She picks up on the cufflinks with AB on them.  Asa comes clean.  You’ve got me.

 

Nora sashays over to the table.  Sam asks to speak to Troy, leaving Nora and Lindsay together.  Hello, Lindsay.  Hello, Nora.  So, Lindsay, what are you up to?  Although it is none of your business I’m helping him with a fundraiser.  Lindsay wants to know why Nora is so interested in why she is with Troy.  Sam confronts Troy about daring to experiment with Nora’s brain. Sam tries to intimidate Troy.  Troy wants to know what Sam is so afraid of.  Are you afraid I can give Nora something you can’t?

 

Jessica and Seth discuss whether she can forgive him.  She explains that she has forgiven him because what he did in New York was not about Natalie.  It was about Jessica.  Seth is thrilled and kisses her. Natalie watches.

 

Todd is confused.  You said the baby was ours.  Blair: I’m not going crazy again.  I was just hoping.  I know he is not.  Blair talks about how much it hurt her when she learned the baby was dead.  Todd says, You’re over that right?.  Blair: You’ve showed me what’s important—you and Starr.  Whose baby is this Todd?  Todd thinks about how Blair would react if he told her the truth. When he confesses, in his fantasy, about what happens when he tells Blair he told Paloma to take the baby away, Blair freaks and says she hates him and is taking Starr away forever. Back in real time, Blair asks him again whose baby it is and Todd says, “It’s yours.”

 

Segment 4

 

Gabs is freaking because she says she cannot go back to prison especially for something she did not do.  Max insists that she must leave.  The evidence is too overwhelming.  Gabs wants to say goodbye to Al but Max tells her that Al will probably go straight to the police. Gabs realizes if there is a warrant out for her then there is one for him as well.  She realizes he is willing to sacrifice himself for her.

 

The expert tells Bo the tape was spliced.  He listens to the tape to pick up the places where the tape is spliced.  There are at least 4 different conversations in there and we don’t really know what they are talking about.  Bo says the real killer made the tape and used the fact to M&G affair to set them up. Hank asks who he thinks it is.

 

Alex and Asa talk about what has been going on in Llanview.  Asa pretends to have no idea that Bo thinks he was murdered and that Max and Gabs are under suspicion.  Alex says will you can’t charge someone for murdering someone who is alive.  I guess I’ll have to do something about that.  She calls Bo.

 

Blair thinks Todd is joking when he says the baby is hers.  He changes his strategy and says I mean he is yours now.  He has another mother in another town but she doesn’t want him.  Blair: What about the father?  Todd: He’s not interested so the woman just gave me the baby.  Blair: Someone just gave you this beautiful baby?  Todd: Yes.  She gave him to me and I’m giving him to you.  He’s a wedding present.

 

 

Segment 5

 

Jessica is shocked by Seth’s kiss and backs off.  What are you doing?  I care for you but that doesn’t mean we can start where we left off.  I can’t be your friend or anything else.  Seth says I guess that was too much to hope for and leaves.  Natalie appears all happy and friendly and wants to know what it was like visiting her father.  Jessica tells her that Clint said she would always be his daughter.  Natalie was disappointed that Clint had nothing to say about her.  Then says, Well he’ll have something to say soon enough.  While you were gone I’ve been busy--very, very busy.

 

Lindsay and Nora spar as usual.  Sam and Troy argue about what is best for Nora. Sam tries to convince Troy that he and Nora want to move forward and not backwards. 

 

Blair: How did you find a baby?  Todd: That’s where I went when I left Llanview.  I went to look for a baby.  Blair: You just found a baby.  Todd: I looked for one that was roughly the same age as ours and a boy because Starr wanted a brother.  Blair: You did this for me? I don’t know what to say.  Todd: Say Hi to your new son.

 

 

Segment 6

 

Jessica wants to know what Natalie has been doing.  Natalie tells her she has been talking to her lawyer and soon she will have everything that Jessica stole from her.  Natalie is disappointed though because Jessica says she doesn’t care if she takes it all.  You can’t take anything from me that really matters.  I have my father’s love and my mother’s love and you don’t have any of that and you never will.  Jessica walks away and Natalie says we’ll see about that.

 

Max tells Gabs to stop being so melodramatic and states that they will see each other again.  He promises to clear himself but he is never going to let her go to jail again.  Gabs agrees to go as long as he goes with her.

 

Alex is cut off and Bo doesn’t realize it was Alex.  Bo reasons that whoever did this had something to gain by setting up Gabs.  Alex wants to know why Asa stopped her.  Then she tells him that she gets it.  You want everyone to think you are dead.  Gabs betrayed you and you want her to pay.  Alex threatens to go back to Llanview and tell everyone what she knows.  Asa wants to know what it will take to keep her quiet.  Alex:  Where do I begin…

 

Sam receives a call from Jen and decides he must go to her because there has been some kind of problem.  Lindsay insists on going with him leaving Nora and Troy.  Okay, Dr. McIver, what are you up to with Lindsay?

 

Blair: He’s not our son.  Todd: Maybe technically not but I talked to the mother.  Blair is upset at the notion that the mother just gave the baby up.  She hands the baby to Todd and says, “I’m sorry, Todd, I just can’t.”  She walks out of the nursery.
