OLTL—7/30—It was a VERY busy Friday

Todd, Téa, Daniella, et. al.

• Todd has all of Téa and Dani's things moved out of The Palace Hotel and into his home. When the girls arrive to give Todd "what for," he welcomes them "home." Téa tries to protest, saying the move was supposed to be AFTER they got married; but Todd tells Téa he has arranged for them to be married that evening!
• Todd asks Starr to come over and Téa tells her about the cancer. She is overcome with disbelief and indicates that surely her father can do something. Todd says, "If I could buy a way out of this, I would."

Blair and Elijah

• Over at La Boulaie, Eli does a very persuasive sales job on Blair, talking her into eloping to Vegas to be married that night. Blair is so head over heels for Eli she says "Viva Las Vegas" then goes off to pack.
• Jack overhears the plans and rushes over to Todd's and insists he has to stop Blair from marrying Eli.  Jack likens Eli to the main character of a movie he watched called "Bad Dad 2" where the stepfather from hell also turns into an ax murderer and chops up the whole family. Todd just thinks Jack is being overly imaginative.

Starr and Cole

• After the trial, Starr and Cole head for Rodi's to celebrate. (This doesn't make much sense to me since they can't drink, but maybe they were just looking for John McBain.)
• Starr and Cole have a chance to have a heart-to-heart and mutually agree they want to start over, and seal their decision with a kiss.
• When Cole is alone with John McBain, he mentions that something just doesn't seem right about the whole case against Hannah and that when she called him, she said there was more he doesn't know.

Dorian and Clint vs. David and Mandy

• At Llanfair, Dorian plays games with David by telling him she is together with Clint again.
• Clint goes along with it, but indicates to Dorian privately that this charade has a price.
• He wants naming rights on the new sports arena downtown, and wants it to be named Buchanan Field.
• Dorian happily agrees to the request.

Ford and Hannah

• At St. Ann's, Hannah begs Ford for his help and he agrees.
• He apologizes for the way he treated her, but reveals to Hannah that Elijah threatened to do more than bash his head in, if he didn't go along with the plan.  
• He tells her he has "insurance" (Ford knows about Bennett Thompson) and that a letter will be mailed to The Sun if anything should happen to him.  He suggests that she write everything down also, then he leaves.
• Hannah writes out her letter indicating that if she is found dead—she has been murdered by Elijah Clarke. Eli arrives just before she can give it to the nuns to mail. He reads the letter and is NOT pleased, that yet again, she refuses to go along with the plan.

Kelly and John McBain

• At police headquarters, Kelly overhears McBain asking his assistant to fax something to Boston.
• Kelly distracts the assistant and finds out that it is a photo of Elijah Clarke.
• John refuses to deny or confirm his suspicions, but Kelly finally figures out that Eli and Bennett are the same "tall, dark and handsome" guy who paid off Glenn at the Hall of Records.
• Glenn receives the fax and calls John.  John answers the call, then looks at Kelly. Hopefully, on Monday, we'll know what he said.

Eli tells Hannah:  "This is the last mistake you will ever make." 
Then pulls a gun out.
