OLTL—Monday–8/23—"Let's Just Disappear."


Nothing too dramatic happened today. Not as much action, as I had hoped there would be.

Eli is starting to panic on the inside, but is still staying cool on the outside.  He senses that John McBain is probably closing in on the truth, so he tells Blair he wants them to "just disappear" and convinces her to elope "right now."  He tells her it is because he wants Dorian to have her day and not have to share it with them.  Blair is just SO in love, she goes along with whatever he says. 

I had speculated last week, that Blair might actually be having second thoughts about Eli and all the accusations, and maybe even "playing" him a bit; but this week, my theory went out the window.

Langston brings James to the wedding and Cole decides to have a word with him.  He tells James he knows he came by their apartment and he wants him to stay away from Starr.  They almost get into a fight, but Shaun steps in to cool things down.

Vicky stops by David's cabana to congratulate him and also to remind him that the last time he and Dorian were supposed to get married and he left her at the altar, she was devastated.  David says it was his brother (Spencer Truman) who forced him to do that and then adds, don't worry, this is the real thing. Dorian comes in just as they are hugging goodbye, and she has a twinge of jealousy. After Vicky leaves, she asks David again, if he is sure he still wants to get married and if she can be sure he is going to show up. He says, "There isn't a doubt in my mind. Somebody would have to kill me to keep me away from that altar."  When he said THAT, all I could think was, UH-OH.  That is never a good sign when they write words like that into the script!!

Nora struck out with the judge and the warrant for Eli's arrest.  McBain tells Kelly he needs her help, and she has to persuade Robert Ford to tell the truth and give them the evidence they need to get the warrant.  In the meantime, John heads over to the judge's office to try to argue for the warrant even though the judge says there is just not enough evidence.  After his passionate and angry plea, and even mentioning his and Marty's baby, the judge says he feels this case is much too personal and he shouldn't even be involved with it.  Just then, Kelly enters with the signed statement from Ford and the judge signs the warrant.

Darren sees his brother, Detective Theo Price, at the country club and finds out he is working on a case.  Darren later tells Destiny that something big must be going down, because his brother is working undercover.  Eli overhears this conversation and realizes the situation is more desperate than he thought.  He takes his suitcase into the cabana and chit chats with David telling him that he and Blair have decided not to go through with the double wedding and they are flying away to get married.

David is actually glad to hear the news and says, "How romantic."  When he turns his back to gaze at himself in the mirror, Eli takes a gun out of his suitcase and puts it in his waist band.

When John McBain gets to the country club with the warrant, David is in the cabana with Eli (and the gun).  John knocks on the door.  He shouts, "Police—open up."  He tries to open the door, but it is locked.  Then he says, "Clarke, I know you're in there.  We have a warrant for your arrest."

Hopefully, David won't get shot in the process, but it seems probable he might get taken hostage. Oh, no!!

Dun, dun, da....
