Today's episode had several major cliff hangers, and A LOT of details leading up to them. I hated to leave out any of the good stuff, so I had to pick and choose. I couldn't cover the minor interactions like Langston/Markko, Langston/James, Cole/Marty and maybe others I forgot. But, here we go...
After searching around in the attic, Starr finds a baseball bat and is preparing to bust her way out, when Hannah Bananas opens the door. With the bat in her hand, Starr tells Hannah she is going to grab Hope and then they are leaving, but Hannah says, "I don't think so," and points a gun at her.
Starr wants to know where she got a gun and Hannah says that her father has lots of guns in the basement. As it turns out, they are in the attic of her parent's house. The parents are in Europe, ignoring her as usual, and they won't be back for quite some time. She is determined not to be ignored anymore.
Hannah has it all figured out, that if she gets rid of Starr and Hope, Cole will eventually get over them and she will be there for him—to hold his hand, offer a shoulder to cry on and in the end, a warm bed.
Starr tells her she is out of her mind if she believes that, and tries to reason with her. She reminds her, that probably everyone in her family is looking for her right now. Hannah tells her, "Oh yeah, they are, but everyone thinks you're with Eli. There's quite a manhunt on for him, but, no one is looking for me."
She explains that even if they do find Eli and she and Hope are not with him, everyone will assume he got rid of them. She tells Starr that when she ran away with James, they should have just kept running and everyone would have been a lot happier. Why couldn't she just admit that she wants James? Starr says because she loves Cole. Hannah says, "Oh yeah, how can you say you love Cole, when you are wearing this around your neck?" She grabs James' bullet necklace and pulls it off of Starr's neck. [The longer Hannah talks, the more she is starting to act and sound exactly like Allison Perkins! LOL]
Hannah tells Starr she is leaving her there. Starr asks, "For how long?" She replies, "Until Cole falls in love with me." Then she leaves. When she returns to Marty's, she literally runs into James who had come by to see Cole, but talked with Langston and Markko instead. Hannah drops her purse and James' bullet necklace falls out. He just glares at her and says, "Where did you get this?"
After Dani's outburst when she yelled, "Starr, Starr," Eli ties her up, then goes into Téa's room. Téa rushes towards Eli and says, "I just heard Daniella. She must be right on the other side of that door."
Eli says, "I didn't hear anything."
"I'm sure of it. I'm sure of it. She was calling out for Starr—like she thought Starr was in trouble."
Téa wants to know where she is and why she is there. Eli says, well, he couldn't exactly take her home. She doesn't understand what is going on. Greg says, "Actually Téa, you've missed quite a lot."
Téa runs down the whole timeline to Eli, as she remembers it (I was here, then I was there, etc.) and that Greg wouldn't let her use the phone.
"Why wouldn't they let me use the phone?"
"Because Greg didn't do what he was suppose to do."
"What was Greg supposed to do?"
"Kill you."
"I don't understand. Why are you saying that Greg, my own doctor, was supposed to kill me?"
"Because, that was the plan."
"The plan?"
"From the very first day, when you collapsed in court."
"When you took me to the hospital."
"Greg insisted on running the tests again, which I knew he would. But then we had a little talk." Greg was forced to give Tea the diagnosis that Eli told him to give to her.
Téa still doesn't understand what Eli is talking about and what he meant when he said Greg was supposed to kill her. She tells Eli that none of that matters, she just needs to see her daughter and she needs to use a phone because her family thinks she is dying and she needs to get to Dani and her family.
Eli just keeps staring at her with a smile on his face, like it is just so funny to him. Then, he tells her, "Sorry, Téa. I'm afraid you're not going anywhere."
"Why not?"
"Because, you're a dead woman."
"But I'm not dead, I'm alive."
"Téa, I thought you were smarter than that. You don't get it. There WAS no brain tumor. You were never sick at all!!"
Téa wants to know why Greg would go along with something like this and Eli tells her it is because Greg has "past sins."
"You blackmailed him."
"I did what I had to do, to get what I want."
"What do you want, Eli?"
"Financial independence. Your death was supposed to secure that for me. BUT, everything happens for a reason, and things turned out just fine; because, you may be MORE valuable to me.......alive."
After Natalie gets caught trying to steal Téa's urn, Todd takes it away from her and carries it upstairs. When he comes back down, Natalie asks John to distract Todd. She goes upstairs and comes back down just as John is leaving. They go outside and she tells him she was trying to get some of Téa's DNA.
At the police station, Natalie FINALLY tells John all the details about her hunch, regarding Cherryvale and the mysterious female patient, etc. John tells Natalie, Todd got a phone call from an unknown number, a couple of days ago, and it sounded like Téa's voice. He thought he was losing his mind. Natalie says, "Maybe not." But Natalie still has a question, "If there was the remotest possibility that Téa was still alive, then why was Greg Evans telling everyone that she was dead?"
Mr. and Mrs. Evans and Destiny are sitting by Greg's bedside. Mrs. Evans asks Destiny to get her a coffee from the cafeteria. After she leaves, she tells her husband, "Shaun seems to think, this Clarke person was holding something over Greg."
Mr. E.: "What do you mean?"
Mrs. E.: "All I know is that Greg would do anything to protect Shaun and Destiny."
Mr. E.: "How could Clarke have found out what we did?"
Mrs. Evans feels that if "the secret" is what got Greg into this situation, then maybe it is time to get everything out into the open. Mr. Evans disagrees, because "Think about what it could do to Shaun." Mrs. Evans, seeing the possibility that they might lose Greg, thinks that Destiny deserves to know the truth.
Eli tells Téa, "There are only three people who know you are still alive: "You, me and Greg, and I'm going to take care of that right now."
He ties up Tea and locks her in the room. On the way out, he tells Dani, "I'll be back, ha, ha, ha. I always wanted to say that!" Then he leaves.
The Evans leave Greg's room and go to the hospital's chapel, just as Eli shows up dressed in surgical scrubs with a mask over his mouth. He pretends to be looking over some records while the guard outside Greg's room receives a phone call and decides to walk away from his post. [That guard is SO fired!] Eli goes into Greg's room.
While Eli was in the room with Téa, Dani was able to free her hands from the ropes. As soon as Eli leaves, she jumps out of the chair pulls off her gag and starts yelling, "Starr, I'm coming."
Téa hears her voice and is overjoyed. Dani struggles with a crowbar and a hook tool and eventually pries the lock off the door. She swings open the door and sees her mother gagged and bound!!
Dun, dun, da.....
