OLTL—Eli: Were you expecting someone else?


Monday's episodes always seem to zip by faster than the others; maybe because we've been deprived all weekend! 

This commentary includes Tuesday also.

Dr. Evans has been summoned to the hospice in St. Kitts by a mysterious phone call.  When he enters Téa's room, he finds Eli in her bed. That in itself was pretty creepy!  Eli is injured from the fire, but nothing too serious, it appears.  He fills in the details of his "death" for Greg while the viewers see video footage of what "actually" happened during the time John and Blair were outside chatting with the door closed.  [Like that wasn't suspicious from the start!]  We didn't learn too much more than what we had already figure out on our own.  He had loaded his gun with blanks, and made sure Blair would find it and try to shoot him.  He exploded a blood pack under his shirt, then knocked over the candles to start the fire.  He said he would have gotten out of there sooner if John McBain hadn't shown up.  The best part was when he said he found some guy who looked just like him to play the part of the body.  LOL.

He tells Greg, he has additional plans for him.  When Greg protests, he tells him that Ross is on the loose and could be circling his family as they speak. Greg finally asks him what he wants now.  Eli needs a doctor he can trust to take care of him, so he can get back out there and finish his vengeance. Greg does a few coordination test on Eli that don't bode well for a diagnosis.  He does x-rays and it turns out there is a pool of blood on Eli's brain that requires attention or it could be fatal.

So far, Greg hasn't given up any clues, as to whether he knows if Téa is really dead or not.

Brody presents Jessica with a ring, on which he just made the last payment and again asks her to marry him. At first she says no, as she doesn't feel she deserves him, but when he gets on one knee and professes his endless love, regardless of her child's biological father, she happily says yes.

Layla and Christian are going back and forth over who should take their respective job offers. Layla thinks they should BOTH take their opportunities and try a long-distance relationship for one year.  Christian wants to get married right away, and Layla wants to wait. Sounds like a match made in heaven.

Clint takes Inez to dinner at the Palace while Bo and Nora are waiting for a meeting with Dorian.  Bo is distracted by the two of them laughing and having a good time and starts telling Nora he thinks Clint is up to something and again brings up Matthew's apprenticeship.

Dorian arrives and gets right down to business, but it doesn't take long before she has a complete emotional breakdown and imagines that Bo and Nora are saying things about her and David, that they aren't saying.  She throws a tantrum, throws a glass of water on them, and then is banished from the dining room.

Ross shows up at Todd's and tells him he is not leaving without Dani.  He then produces Téa's Will that is "signed and notarizes" naming Ross as Dani's legal guardian.  When he says that, Todd knows something is up because Téa told him and Blair that she was naming Blair as guardian.

Dun, dun, da...
