"I Want MY T&B"


 

 

FRIDAY

DECEMBER 14, 2001

 

 

Promo: Will Jen tell Cristian the whole truth about her relationship with Al?  There’s more to the story.  (Okay, this does not look good.  I was debating about whether or not to recap today.  Is there any real interest in Recaps on Non-T&B days? Let me know.)

 

Segment 1

 

Troy without his shirt on naturally, zips up and goes to the door.  It’s Nora whose eyes bug out and then wants to know if she is interrupting something.

 

Keri gets a phone message from RJ, who indicates he was hoping to hear from her about setting up dinner or something.  He indicates that he may stop by later.  Antonio knocks on the door.

 

Natalie goes through the Christmas cards.  None or for her and she is hurt.  Allison appears: Merry Christmas, Natalie.  Allison tells her the best present will be to get everything settled so they can enjoy the money.  Natalie realizes that someone has gone through her address book.

 

Jessica accuses Roxie of only being interested in her money. Roxie claims she feels the biological connection but she needs the money to keep Jessica in the lifestyle she is used to.  That’s why we need to go to Vegas, so I can get money to keep you in the style you are used to.  The money is for you. I could care less about the money.  Jessica tells her that’s good because she is not getting one red cent.

 

Troy sends Lindsay a huge bouquet of beautiful flowers.  The notes tells her that Troy hopes the flowers raise her spirits as much as she raised his last night.

 

Troy tells Nora he just got out of the shower (How convenient).  Nora looks around and says she didn’t to want to disturb him if he is with someone.  Troy: Just any someone?  Nora: Okay, Lindsay.  I want you to stay away from Lindsay.

 

Segment 2

Natalie thinks it was Jessica who went through the address book.  She is concerned that Jessica went to Atlantic City.  Allison is thrilled at the possibility.  She says it is like the Prince and the Pauper.  Natalie asks Allison to leave.  I have something to take care of.  Roxie calls Jessica Sweetie, which upsets her.  People who are close to me call me that.  Roxie: I get it we are not close but I want a chance.  Everything I own is yours.  Then Roxie goes into a sad sack act (weeping while grabbing for a Kleenex).  I’m about to lose everything I own.  The bankers are real pigs they are going to take this place.  But it’s not your problem.  You don’t know me very well.  By the time you do I’ll probably be in a homeless shelter.  Jessica tells her even if she wanted to help she couldn’t.  All of those trust funds set up for me are Natalie’s now.  Roxie: You don’t have anything?  Jessica: Nothing but you are welcome to as much of it as you want.

 

Antonio and Keri play with Matthew for a few minutes then start cuddling up—hugging, kissing etc.  He tells her he wants to spend Christmas with her.  Keri: What else are you thinking about?

 

Cris asks to speak to Al.  Jen tries to tell him that she can’t stand being away from him for even a minute.  Cris shoos Jen away.  Cris and Al talk.  Cris thanks him again for being a good friend.  Cris: Of course, that’s bull.  There’s a lot more going on here other than friendship. Al: How did you know?  Cris: How could I miss it?

 

 

Segment 3

 

Cris snows Al about how much he knows about Al and Jen.  He leads Al to admit that he has feelings for Jen.  Then says he is sorry because as far as Al knew he dumped Jen and she needed someone to lean on.  Al acts insulted to think Cris thinks he was going after Jen.  RJ shows up!  Jen tried to stop him. He tells Cris to get rid of the child, Jen, because they have things to discuss.  RJ says he has an offer for Cris that he will have trouble refusing.

 

Sam shows up at Lindsay’s with a gift from Will.  She is disappointed because she wanted him to come as her present (Thank, goodness, he sent a card instead).  Lindsay starts walking down memory lane about Christmases past with the children.  She tells him she is thinking of having a party and if he comes then maybe Jen will come.  Sam says not without Cris and besides I’ll be spending Christmas with Nora and our son.  Lindsay says she will not be alone and points out the flowers.  Oh, give me a break, Lindsay. You are not going to repeat that ridiculous dinner with Troy.  Don’t you know what he is up to?

 

Nora tries to get Troy to stay away from Lindsay.  Didn’t I ask you not to.  Troy calls her on her mixed messages.  Deep down in side you don’t want me to stop.  Are you trying to tell me you don’t want a little justice for yourself?  Nora admits that she wants to know the truth but not through deceit.  Troy: I thought you couldn’t stand Lindsay.  When did you become so worried about her?  Nora: Her?  I’m not worried about her.  I’m worried about you. (Jealous is more like it).

 

Segment 4

 

Keri is thrilled that Antonio wants to spend Christmas and New Years with her.  She says she has some good news for him but she’d like to tell it to him over dinner.  Antonio tells her that he has to go back to New York.  They know who ordered the hit on Cris but can’t prove it.  Keri gets all moralistic and goes on and on about “bad” people.  Antonio jumps in with how horrible “this man” is.  Keri: Who is it?  Is it someone I know?

 

RJ asks how Cris is doing.  Cris acts offended.  RJ tells him that when you stab someone in the back you can’t be surprised when it turns around on you.  Cris says he will be by the Break Bar to get the rest of his things.  RJ tells him that he is not going to do that.

 

Jen tells Al that she plans to tell Cris the truth about what happened.  Al tries to persuade her not to—We are the only ones who know.  Jen:  Someone else knows.

 

Sam tells her that Troy is just trying to get a rise out of Nora.  Lindsay tries to convince Sam that Troy is interested in her because she is bright, charming… Sam warns her that women thought Colin was wonderful as well and Troy is his identical twin.

 

Troy is flattered that Nora is worried about him. Don’t worry about me. I’m a big boy.  Nora warns him not to underestimate Lindsay.  She always manages to pick herself up and get what she wants.  The woman is a menace.  Her picture should be at every post office in the country.  Troy becomes even more determined to find out what Lindsay did.  Besides the plan is already in motion.  I can’t stop it now.  Nora: I can.  I’ll just tell Lindsay what you are up to.

 

 

Segment 5

 

Jen tells Al that her mother knows.  Al is shocked that she told her mother then realizes that’s why Lindsay was so solicitous at the train station.  Jen tells him that if Lindsay believes telling Cris what happened will ruin their relationship Lindsay will tell him and that’s why she has to be the one to tell Cris.

 

Cris says that threats no longer work with him.  RJ:  I see you keeping your job and apartment at the Break Bar.  I’ve sold my business--lock stock and barrel--to Max Holden so we won’t have to cross paths again.  Cris: So who died and made you Santa Claus?  RJ: Santa Claus? No.  If I were Santa Claus you would be getting a piece of coal.  But I have my reasons.

 

Keri stops Antonio from telling her the man’s identity because discussing it seems to be upsetting him.  We have so little time, let’s not waste it…

 

Roxie says she is feeling sick and ask Jessica to leave.  Jessica tells her that she thought she would feel at least something for her biological mother and her mother would feel something for her but she was wrong.  Jessica is very disappointed in Roxie and tells her that.  Roxie could care less: I don’t need you and I don’t want you.  Jessica: Fine.  I don’t want you as my mother. If I leave, I’m not coming back.  Roxie lunges toward Jessica but Natalie shows up and tells Roxie if she even thinks about hitting Jessica she will be sorry.

 

 

Segment 6

 

Keri and Antonio kiss.  RJ arrives at the door.

 

Nora tells Troy unless he stops his insane plot she is going to tell Lindsay the truth.  He tells her he thinks she is bluffing.  Nora claims she never bluffs.  Troy tells her not to go over there.  You can give her a call.  No need to go over there.  Nora calls Lindsay and she answers.  Troy waits but Nora doesn’t say anything.

 

Cris tells Jen that he is glad to be able to keep his apartment.  It has some nice memories.  Jen zones out and Cris thinks she’s remembering her time with him.  Jen tells him there is something important she has to tell him.

 

Roxie tries to act happy to see Natalie.  Roxie runs out to get something and a skuzzy man shows up.  He leers at Natalie.  Natalie tells him she is not Roxie’s daughter and he says he knows. Then he notices Jessica and is very interested in her.  Natalie tells him that she is no one but he says, She looks like somebody I should get to know a whole lot better.
