OLTL—9/22—"I'm a Buchanan and you're not."


Today's episode was pretty HO-HUM.  It will be a challenge to pick out anything I could really call the highlight, so I will hit everything lightly.

Apparently, Carlotta Vega had been on vacation.  I was wondering where she was.  So when she gets back so chews on Christian about letting Layla go to Paris by herself.  I was surprised that she didn't even consider what a tremendous opportunity he has been given to be an instructor at Llanview U.  Geez, Mom.....

Clint runs into Inez at Rodi's and flirts with her.  She says she is upset because her son James won't be able to afford the tuition at L.U. now.  Clint sees an opportunity to rescue a damsel in distress!!

Starr and James continue to struggle with their feelings for each other.

Bo comes into Rodi's and sees Clint and Inez together and he gets a little jealous, or something.  Even though he has no claims on her other than she is his assistant, he still acts like she is HIS and not for Clint to toy with.  He does his best to convey to Inez, in a humorous way, that Clint has a temper and also quite a history of pointing his shot gun at anyone who ticks him off.

Gigi tells Kelly she wants to know if she is interested in Rex.  Kelly assures her, definitely not.

Gigi goes to her first art class and gets there early. Christian is very sweet to her and they have a short discussion about her art vision, before the other students arrive and class starts.

Rex is caught red handed in Clint's office by Matthew.  Matthew confronts Rex about the company files he saw him put in his briefcase. Rex tries his best to get Matthew to understand that he is on an important assignment, but it eventually comes down to "I'm a Buchanan, and you're not."  Then Matthew calls Security.  Clint arrives shortly after the security officer apprehends Rex, but Clint tells him, he will handle it.  Matthew wants to know if he should call his dad, the Chief of Police, but then realizes that "white collar crime" would be under the jurisdiction of the FBI.  Clint tells him to go back to his photo copying and he will handle Rex.

Marty testifies as an expert witness in Hannah Banana's court appearance. She explains about Hannah's very low self esteem and the fact that her parent have basically abandoned her, not even returning calls from the doctors at St. Ann's.  Nora is planning to press charges on several counts, including obstructing justice since she didn't tell anyone about Eli Clarke and then he was able to escape detection and continue his crime spree.

Marty tells the judge that she feels Hannah should be allowed to start a new life and that she is willing to act as a guardian/supervisor on her behalf. Cole was in the courtroom to offer moral support to Hannah, but even he is quite surprised when he hears his mother's decision!!

The Clint and Rex scenes were the most interesting today. Rex asks about the photo of David Vickers in Clint's drawer and Clint's attitude is basically, yeah, so what!  He tells Rex it will be in his best interest and also the best interest of everyone that Rex knows, if he keeps what he has seen to himself.
