The scenes between Dorian and David are so much fun, they have to be seen to be appreciated. No words can adequately describe their chemistry. I know it's only a soap opera, but didn't Dorian look absolutely radiant? Either that, or somebody did a fabulous makeup job on her. They finally got her out of those dowdy, frumpy suits she wears as Mayor Lord, and put her in a beautiful flowing caftan. She looked ten years younger; and definitely looked way better than Hillary (Clinton) did in the caftan she wore to Chelsea's rehearsal dinner.
When Blair and Eli enter the living room and announce they are planning to wed that day, David jumps in with, "You can't." (Why not?) "WE'RE getting married today." After the dust settles and everyone closes their gaping mouths, and after much ado, Dorian decides the best solution should be to have a double wedding with Blair and Eli. What?!?!?
Best line: David tells Langston and Blair that he forgives them for coming on to him, in the past, but that's over because, "My heart only has room for one goddess."
The rest of Wednesday was mostly blah, blah, blah until the end.
A few highlights: Ford tells John he was blackmailing Eli, Brody overhears Jessica on the phone inquiring about a paternity test and Natalie shows Rex and Kelly the photo she pieced together from the shredded papers in Elijah's hotel room.
Kelly's reaction: Whoa..... Jackpot!!
On Thursday, the wedding plans are finalized. David asks his "Pa" Bo to be his best man and Bo agrees. As usual, David was very entertaining. David picks up on the "Inez factor" and warns Nora to watch out for the telltale signs that something is up with the two of them. He reminds her that Kimberly started out as Clint's assistant also. Well, we'll see...
Biggest reveal: Now we know the connection between Bennett Thompson and Robert Ford.
John McBain interviewed Ford extensively and a lot of details were revealed. I am going to summarize what we learned and still try to cover everything accurately.
Ford tells John, he met Mrs. Bennett (Olivia) Thompson when he lived in L.A. and they had an affair. Their rendezvous were always at her house. Ford knew what her husband looked like because there were pictures of him in every room—all 20 rooms.
The house and the money were Olivia's. According to Ford, "The woman was loaded." Olivia revealed to Ford during their affair, that Bennett had only married her for her money.
John is hoping that maybe Ford and Olivia are still in touch, but Ford said, no, she ended it "out of the blue." He phoned her and left messages and even went to her house, but it was deserted. It was as if she just vanished off the face of the earth.
When Ford came to Llanview with David Vickers to do their reality show, David hired Elijah Clarke to protect his best interests. Ford met Clarke and recognized him as Bennett Thompson. He called him on it, but he denied it. That's when Ford got the idea to blackmail him. When Eli paid, Ford knew Eli had something to hide. But Eli got tired of paying and that's why he tried to kill Ford.
Things we still don't know:
Eli's connection to Kelly's mother. My best guess, Eli had his wife Olivia committed to the same asylum where Melinda was and that's how they met. Also, what is his connection to Dr. Greg Evans? Greg was also in California before he came to Llanview, so maybe that is where they met.
Unfortunately for Ford, his mother Inez, who is now Bo's assistant enters the file room and finds Bobby in the room writing down everything that he just told John. He tries to get her to stay out of the situation, but she gets the bright idea that he needs an attorney and goes about trying to find one for him.
When she leaves the room, she goes through the files she is carrying and finds Cole Thornhart's case that is marked "Dismissed" and so looks for the attorney name. Of course, it is Elijah Clarke, and so, she calls him. What?!?!? Oh, that's right, this is a soap opera.
Inez explains everything to Elijah over the phone and now he is on his way to the police station. Let's hope Robert isn't trapped in that room when Eli shows up. With his wrist chained to the desk, he is defenseless and, it will be like shooting fish in a barrel, as they say.
Dun, dun, da.....
