OLTL—Friday–9/24—There are no do-overs, when someone dies!


Darren arrives on time for his first day of Driver's Ed., but Destiny and Dani never show up.  The instructor, Mr. Stein, is a parody of Ben Stein talking slowly and deliberately while Darren stares in disbelief, but tries to be as polite as possible under the circumstances. He was hilarious!  J.J. Singleton is one of the best new characters we've seen in a long time. There has been very little "break in" period for him.  Although he was a bit enthusiast in the beginning, during Langston's musical, he has settled in comfortably. I hope we can look forward to seeing him around Llanview for quite awhile.

Greg is at Téa's bedside examining her and talking to her, even though she is still in the induced coma.  Greg promises to get her back to her family as soon as possible. 

When he opens the door to leave her room, Destiny is standing on the other side. Oops. She followed Greg and wants to know why he is in Cherryvale and not at the hospital.  He wants to know why she followed him and is not in school like she is supposed to be.  Destiny says she is upset with him because she knows what he did.

As it turns out, she tells Greg she knows he did not tell Todd and Dani that Téa wanted to see them before she "died."  Greg defends his actions as "a judgment call" and acknowledges he made a mistake.  Greg explains that he is consulting on a case at the clinic and they have a brief conversation, then he sends her back to school.

When he re-enters Tea's room alarms are going off. He tells the nurse on duty there was a significant spike in her heart rate, but everything seems back to normal. He says he will stay with her until she is stable.

After finding out that Gigi's grant was reneged, Rex realizes there is no limit to Clint's revenge or to whom he will hurt for his own gain. He goes back to Clint's office the first thing in the morning to ask him about Gigi's grant. After some discussion it turns out Clint has so much influence, he could probably straighten out the situation, if.....

Rex says, "Ok, I need to be really clear on this. Are you saying you can fix things for Gigi?"

Clint: "I can do anything I set my mind to; even having you busted for breaking and entering."

Clint makes a call to L.U. and mentions Gigi's name and then has good news for Rex. Clint doesn't reveal the details, but his "help" has a twist. He arranges for Gigi to work as Christian Vegas assistant; which will only rub salt in Rex's wounds, as Gigi and Chris start spending more and more time together.

Rex walks into Rodi's right after Chris and Gigi get the good news from the Financial Aid office and Gigi is hugging Chris. Oh boy....

Rex goes to Kelly's office to update her on David Vickers. He tells her he tracked down David, but he doesn't want to come back to Llanview; and the only reason he left was because of Dorian and it had nothing to do with Clint.

He suggests that Dorian move on with her life, because David doesn't want to be found. — End of story.

Dun, dun, da.......
