OLTL—Tuesday–9/21—B.E.'s Secret Weapon


Clint looks at photos of David Vickers cleaning toilets in prison and has a good laugh. The update on David has been brought to him by someone on his staff who Clint later describes to Matthew as "my handy man — B.E.'s secret weapon."

Matthew starts his first day as an intern at B.E. and asks a lot of questions, especially about "the handy man," but Clint diverts his attention and tells him, he's lucky that B.E. doesn't have stables on the property. That's where Asa made him start out. Instead, Matthew is going to learn the workings of the copy room.

Kelly comes by B.E. for a lunch date with Clint. The plan is to keep him busy so Rex can poke around in Clint's office. Kelly sneaks Clint's company access card out of his wallet, while he is instructing Matthew on what to do while he is gone; then she passes it to Rex when they go to Rodi's for lunch.

During lunch, Clint tells Kelly she and Rex need to back off of the search for David. She says she just wants to do right by her Aunt Dorian. Clint says he gets that, but wishes that now, she will do right by the Buchanan side of her family.

Clint tries to convince Kelly that David has a legal team trying to take B.E. away from the rest of the family. He urges Kelly to leave things well enough alone. Kelly says she thinks Clint is exaggerating, and he says if she continues her search for David, she'll find out how bad things can get.

Kelly: "Is that a threat?"
Clint: "Of course not. I'm worried about you, Kelly. Hell, I'm even worried about Dorian."

They wrap up lunch and Kelly calls Rex to tell him Clint is on his way back to the office and to get out of there NOW. Rex gathers his things and rushes out of the office and right into Matthew. Matthew wants to know, "What are you doing here?"

The court arguments continue in regard to Dani's custody and the judge listens. Ross, Todd and Blair all testify as to what they think Tea wanted.

Dani and Destiny sneak into the courtroom to listen to the proceedings and finally Destiny jumps up and addresses the judge saying she represents Dani and that Dani should be able to say who she wants to live with. The judge asks Dani to tell her how she feels. In the end, the judge suspends her decision temporarily.

Inez comes to campus looking for Robert Ford and runs into James. He talks to her about his painful childhood and how much he needed a mom, and that now, it's too late. They both cry.

After Nate leaves Dani with Destiny, and heads back to school, he runs into Robert Ford (with his box of office supplies) and they have a few tense words. Things calm down eventually. Nate realizes that Robert is "THE Ford" who won a directing award and of whose work, Nate is very familiar. Ford is surprised. It appears there may be some hope of a relationship developing.

Starr and Langston run into each other in the park and Starr confronts her about Ford. They argue back and forth, but Starr finally convinces Langston that what she did was way too extreme and now she has to go to the Dean and straighten everything out, because Ford might not ever be able to get another job with this black mark on his record. Langston relents and says she will do it.

Later, after Nate leaves, Ford is still wandering around in the park carrying that crazy box of office supplies when he runs into Langston.

Next thing you know, James is back at the park again and he is sitting on a rock crying when Starr finds him. She asks him what is wrong, and he turns around and kisses her.

This is what I want to know:

  • Are they all just wandering around in the park like a bunch of Monty Python characters?
  • Why didn't Ford leave his office supplies in the car?
  • And where is Ford's car? Does he even have a car?
Sometimes it's all, just too weird!!
