OLTL—7/6/10—Elijah Clarke—Split Personality


Who is this guy?


Wow—I was hoping it was a big cliffhanger/tease and that Eli went to the cabana to see Ford for some other reason.  But... Eli is actually Ford's attacker.

Yikes!!

He blamed Hannah—not because he had any particular vendetta against her—only because she was convenient.  But... Ford knows who Eli really is.

What?!?!?

How in the world could Eli be Bennett Thompson?  The details have yet to be revealed to us, but apparently, this is the secret that Ford knows, and why Eli wants him dead.  My guess is, they have previously crossed paths in California.

Eli is still trying to control the situation by threatening to finish the job he started, but Ford tells him, he has everything written out and ready to send to Todd Manning, if anything untoward should happen to him.

Other, less interesting stuff also happened.  Jessica told Brody about the night she almost slept with Ford, Blair tells Kelly, Eli proposed to her and Rex and Gigi are spending some quality time at the country club (as Bo and Nora's guests).

Hannah is negotiating a deal with the police to tell them everything they want to know about who pushed Marty down the stairs, IF she is given complete immunity for everything she has lied about. Then she calls Eli to represent her and he jumps at the opportunity.  I thought she was going to finger him as the "pusher," and maybe she is, and just wants him to think she doesn't know it is him.  Or... maybe it isn't him.

That's the best part about a well written story--it still keeps us guessing.

Back to the teenagers:  Todd shows up at the drop location and runs into Starr who thinks he is there to help James.  Todd wants to know, "Who the hell is James?" and then explains that he is there to help Dani's boyfriend Nate.  Starr is bewildered and says, "From Langston's play?" and Todd says, "How the hell should I know?" (Todd's dialogue is really easy to write. LOL)  In the meantime, Dani, who stowed away in the back of Todd's SUV, sneaks into the barn and unties Nate.

Todd goes into the barn for the exchange and then Bull decides he might change the rules again.  Nate comes up behind Bull and clobbers him with a shovel, but Bull gets up and a tussle ensues with Todd.  Somebody shoots out the overhead light (I missed that part—Todd and Bull both have guns), so now they are stumbling around in the dark.  Bull drops his gun and Starr picks it up and shoots at Bull.  He falls down, but James has also been hit and he falls down.  Starr starts screaming, "N-o-o-o-o-o!"

Dun, dun, da...
