No T&B

Promo: Why does Nora want Lindsay to stay away from Troy?  There’s more to the story.

Segment 1

Nora asks Troy what he is up to with Lindsay.  He tells her about the fundraiser.  Nora is sarcastic.  Lindsay is always all heart.  Nora questions how quickly he changed from yesterday when he was all out to get Lindsay for erasing her memories.

At the train station: Lindsay dogs Sam about what is wrong with Jen.  She is hysterical as usual.  I’m not a good wait and see person.  She threatens to kill Cris if she finds out that he hurt her little girl again.

Seth is trying to get drunk at RJ’s club.  Chad wants to know what has set him off into a self-destruct mode.  Seth says it is because he has lost the best thing that ever happened to him.  Natalie is standing behind him and overhears what he said to Chad.  Jessica flashes back on the conversation she had with Seth yesterday.  The doorbell rings and it is Allison.  Jessica tells her that Natalie is not at home.  She powers her way in and says she wants to leave a note.  When Allison tries to leave, Jessica says I’ve changed my mind.  I have something to say to you.

Lindsay is going on and on about how horrible Cris is and Carlotta walks up.  Jen and Cris arrive.  Lindsay tries to be protective of Jen: You’re home and Cris will never hurt you again.  Jen corrects her and says that Cris has been trying to protect her and he has loved her all along.

Segment 2

Troy says that he doesn’t understand Nora’s concerns about him having a fundraiser with Lindsay.  Nora calls him on his actions given that he was so outraged yesterday. Troy claims to have taken a page out of Nora’s book—no longer interested in revenge.  Nora says that is different from cozying up to the enemy.  Troy wants to know if that bothers her and he says it does.

Cris tries to explain what happened.  Lindsay is having none of it.  Carlotta defends Cris.  Antonio explains the situation.  Sam is upset about the danger they put his daughter in but he says he understands.  Lindsay freaks as usual.  I want to know what exactly happened at that shoot and why you know my daughter is no longer in danger.  Sam wants to know why Cris was in trouble in the first place.  Because of RJ Gannon.  Lindsay shuts up and looks guilty.

RJ is shocked to learn about Keith being arrested.

Seth continues to bemoan the loss of Jessica.  Natalie comes in and wants to know what’s up.  Seth is not buying her concern.  Why don’t you hop on your broomstick and fly away.  Natalie reminds him that the only time she has seen him this drunk before was when they had a huge fight.  Don’t remind me.

Jessica asks Allison why she switched the babies.  Allison claims it was all Mitch Lawrence’s fault.  Unfortunately, Mitch died before he finished the programming.  She claims that she went to stay with friends you had a fussy baby.  She decided she had the power to switch the babies and affect all these lives.  It was a powerful feeling.  I decided to switch Vickie’s baby with Roxie’s.  Jessica: Your friend’s name is Roxie?  Allison: Yes, Roxanne Balsam, your real mom.

Segment 3

Vickie and Ben walk in and interrupt Allison.  Allison snarks at Vickie and Ben.  She accuses them of not wanting Jessica to know about her real mother.  Jessica insists on telling her about Roxanne.  She lists all of Roxie’s bad traits: gambling, drinking, hating her own children….Allison leaves, but tells Jessica to ask Vickie about Roxie.  Vickie tells her that Allison just wants to hurt her and she doesn’t know why. Jessica wants to know why Allison thinks Vickie knows about Roxie.  Do you know her?

Natalie tries to get Seth to go for a walk with her.  He is really nasty to her and tells her to go away.

RJ calls to check on Cristian Vega’s condition and finds out that he has been released.

Antonio tells Sam about how Cris has been working undercover for several months.  Antonio thinks that RJ found out some how.  Lindsay flashes back to telling RJ about Cris.  She tries to get Jen to leave with her but Jen refuses.

Nora tells Troy she cares because it is Lindsay.  If he were romancing anyone else she wouldn’t care.  Troy is disappointed.  Nora suspects he has another reason for romancing Lindsay.  Troy says she is pretty, bright and available.  Nora says there are lots of woman in Llanview with those characteristics who have not tried to smother him with a pillow. Troy tries to guilt trip by saying he gets lonely.  Nora calls him on his game.  You can’t stand Lindsay.  When I quit it was like I pulled the rug out from under you.  You don’t seem like a man who quits easily.  She accuses him of trying to manipulate Lindsay into spilling the beans on what she did.  Nora is secretly thrilled that Troy is not really romancing Lindsay but is trying to get her to confess.

Segment 4

Nora wants to know if she is right.  Troy says that is a definite possibility.  Nora tells her that Lindsay will never give herself up unless she has something to gain—something really big.  Troy says he’ll have to convince that that is the case.  Nora wants to know why he is doing this.  You’re not doing it for me, are you?

Everyone is fussing over Cris.  Lindsay tells Al that she is not convinced that what they are saying about Cris is the truth.  And even if it is it was Al who held her together.  I think you are more than a good friend to her.  Poor Al is eating it up.

Vickie tells Jessica that she did go see Roxie.  Why didn’t you tell me?  Is it true what Allison said about her? 

Allison tracks down Natalie and wants to know why she didn’t back her up about those papers.  Remember it is Jessica that they love. Seth is getting unruly.  RJ threatens to throw him out.  Seth is leaning over on a table passed out and Natalie runs to call a cab. Allison mutters to herself that it is all Vickie’s fault.  After all of her planning Vickie is turning Natalie against her.  She says she needs to get rid of Vickie—permanently.  Seth looks up as asks her what she said!

Segment 5

Allison tells Seth to go back to sleep, “You drunk…” Natalie rushes over and defends Seth.  Allison tells her to dump Seth.  Allison reminds her how important she has been to her.  Without me…Natalie tells her she knows exactly who she is.  Allison is pissed off.

RJ calls Keri and leaves a message asking her if they can get together for dinner.  He is interrupted.

Nora tells Troy she is satisfied with the way things are.  Troy says that he is trying to undo the harm his father caused.  He tells Nora that she didn’t get back her most important memories.  I tried to help you medically but that didn’t work completely so I had to come up with another way.  Sooner or later Lindsay is going to confide in me and then you will have your peace of mind, which is all I want—your peace of mind, your happiness.  Troy is beginning to sound slightly obsessed—shades of Colin.

Vickie tells Jessica that Roxie is insensitive and it is clear that she did not treat Natalie well.  Jessica notes that given Natalie’s behavior that might not be such a surprise.  Vickie corrects her and tells her how awful Roxie was.  Jessica is surprised to learn that Roxie came to the house.  Vickie tells her not to worry about it but Jessica says, How do you know that she did not come to see me?

Natalie arrives with Seth.  I’m going to take care of you.

Segment 6

Antonio slams the phone down and wants to know if he is calling another one of his goons.  RJ feigns complete innocence and no knowledge of what happened.  Antonio puffs up and threatens RJ: Laugh all you want to, RJ, but your days as a free man are limited. (Go away Antonio)

Jessica wants to know if Roxie asked about her.  Ben tells her she asked because she is interested in how much money she has.  Jessica is hurt. She asks for some time alone.  Ben and Vickie go upstairs. Jessica finds the note Allison left that has Natalie’s old address in Atlantic City.

Seth is so drunk he doesn’t know where he is or who he’s with.  Natalie undresses him and gets him in bed.  She tells him that she is going to make him forget all about Jessica.

Sam calls Nora and tells her he is still at the train station and will tell her everything later. He tells her he loves her but she says, “Same here.”  Troy is listening.  Nora tells him that she can’t let him go through with his plan because she told Sam she would drop it.  He tells her she can’t stop him so please don’t try.

Lindsay continues to butter up Al.  Jen comes over and hugs Al.  He walks away.  Lindsay asks Jen how she thinks Cris is going to feel when he learns she slept with Al.
