OLTL—Friday–10/8—Eli wants Danielle


Nothing new was revealed to the audience, but a few hints were dropped; like, what is Greg's big secret and what does Mama Evans know about it.  Today was mostly a wrap up of an action-packed week and a prelude to Elijah Clarke's "Plan C" or maybe we are back to "Plan B."  I'll explain that later.

Shaun and Destiny are standing vigil with Greg at the hospital, taking turns talking to him.  Mama Evans has gone to the airport to pick up Papa Evans.  Destiny is getting impatient with Greg and finally says, "Greg, wake the hell up.  Yeah, you heard me."  But it doesn't help.  Detective Price comes around to see if there has been any change in Greg's condition, because he needs to question him.  He expresses his concern for Greg to Shaun, but Shaun gets annoyed by what he sees as insincere concern and tells Price, "Stop acting like we know each other, because we don't."

Poor Téa wakes up and sees Todd and Danielle standing by her bed.  They just smile at her, but don't react when she tells them she is going to live.  She realizes she is hallucinating again.  She pages the nurse and begs her to call her family.  The nurse tells Téa she will call Dr. Evans.  She leaves a message explaining she doesn't understand why she can't just give Téa a phone and mentions that since she has left several messages for him now, she is starting to wonder what is going on.

Téa is trying to figure out why Todd would come there and then just leave.  She is worried that something is wrong with Dani, otherwise he would not have left.  She asks the nurse if he said anything about flying back to The States, and the nurse tells her, she must be confused, because "this IS the United States."  Téa presses her for more information and learns that they are actually in Cherryvale, even though Greg told her they were still in St. Kitts. She realizes that Greg lied to her, but why would he lie to her?

Dani rushes over to Ross.  Todd tells her it's too late.  She just stares at him in shock and says "call an ambulance, call an ambulance."

Dani and Todd argue because she thinks he killed Ross.  He tries unsuccessfully to convince her he didn't.  He tells her it was Eli.  She says, oh right, he came back from the dead to kill Ross.  Yeah, that's right.  Todd just wants to get Dani away from the dock and to somewhere safe, but Dani grabs Todd's gun, points it at him and says she is not going anywhere with him.  She throws the gun down and takes off running.

The police show up and think Todd shot Ross, but McBain arrives right behind them and says he'll take it from there.  He asks Todd for the details.  Todd is shocked that McBain actually believes him and then tells him that Ross' dying words were "Eli wants Dani," but that he died before he could find out why.

Nate shows up at the dock and tells McBain that Dani was with Starr.  Now, everyone is very worried.  McBain says that since Dani just went through a severe trauma seeing Ross dead on the dock, she is going to go someplace where she feels safe.  Todd:  "Starr?"  McBain's face says:  "I'm afriad so."

When Starr opens the door to her apartment, Eli forces her to come inside.  She can't believe he's not dead, since her mother shot him.  "With blanks," he says.  Eli tells her the land line is dead and she will be too, if she doesn't cooperate.  She starts to go toward the bedroom to get Hope, but Eli says he doesn't think she should go in there.  She rushes into the bedroom and finds the baby sitter shot to death. 

Eli tells Starr they are leaving and orders her to hurry up and get packed.  It takes longer than he would like for her to pack everything needed for a baby, but he knows he doesn't have any other hostage options since Dani, his "Plan B," got away.  But just then, there is a knock on the door and it is Dani begging Starr to let her in. 

She says, "Ross is dead and Todd killed him.  He won't even admit to it and he says that Eli...."  Eli swings open the door and says, "is alive?  Who says Todd Manning is a liar?  Come on in.  Join the party.  "Dani's face says:  "OMG!"

Dun, dun, da.....
