OLTL—Thursday–9/9—I Did Something Terrible to Téa Delgado


Since I am personally interested in a good mystery, I will mostly focus on that type of story line rather than on what I consider to be the more minor, everyday stuff—especially when it comes to the teenagers.  That said, on to the story:

Brody's retaliation continued today and he might have beaten Ford senseless if Langston hadn't run to get a security guard.

Flashing police credentials is a typical "above the law" attitude that I have personally experienced in NYC, so..... now it gets written into a soap like it is just business as usual.  I hope there are repercussions for Brody's inappropriate behavior, but I doubt there will be.  Even Langston thinks he deserved it.


Greg tells Marty "I did something terrible to Téa Delgado." He goes on to explain, that in the end, Téa changed her mind and actually wanted her family to be with her, but he couldn't let that happen because "someone else didn't want it to happen, and I was only doing what I was told to do."

Marty wants to know who it was that wanted to keep Téa from her family and how was it that Greg was forced to do something he didn't want to do.  Greg apologizes and says there is only so much he can say, even to her; because people he loves will get hurt. Greg has already received three texts from an unknown caller saying, "Don't say another word."

John McBain stops by Todd's to extend condolences and also to ask Todd if he has heard from Ross Rayburn. He indicates that it is highly likely Rayburn will try to get in touch with Dani.  Remember when Téa sign her Will granting Blair guardianship of Dani, Eli switched the Wills and she signed a blank one.  It seems obvious the plan was to write in Ross Rayburn as Dani's guardian. That means Ross will try to take advantage of that after Téa's Will is read.

Shortly after John leaves, Dani receives an anonymous text message saying, "I'm coming for you."

Clint comes into the police station at Bo's request and openly flirts with Inez. He and Bo finally have the discussion they should have had BEFORE Clint offered Matthew an apprenticeship at B.E. Clint uses the argument that their Pa would have wanted it this way.

Bo is sensing there is something else going on, but can't figure out what, since they have already buried the hatchet about Bo marrying Nora, so he asks him directly, "What's this really about?"

Clint gives a pretty good blah, blah, blah cover story and they move on.  Then he presses Bo for a decision.  "Bo, can the boy take the job or not?"  Bo replies, "He can take the job, but if it interferes with his grades, he's out of there."

Clint is chomping at the bit with excitement and says, "I think this is going to be very, very good for Matthew.  I just wish Asa was here to see it."  As he leaves, he flirts with Inez again and then asks if he can call her to take her out to lunch, and she says, "yes."

Dun, dun, da.....
