First, I'll recap a few of the more humdrum developments, then get to the good stuff.
Clint gets Ford reinstated at L.U. by threatening to withdraw financial support to the university. Viki visits Clint at his office to tell him about the return of Echo DiSavoy, and overhears him threatening someone. He laughs it off as "just business." He is quite surprised to hear about Echo, thinking she is in Llanview to see him, but Viki explains that this time, her target is Chuckles.
Inez is able to convince Nate to tell John McBain the truth about his involvement in Dani's disappearance.
Bo and Nora realize they have been eating lunch in the office and not having any personal time for way too long, so they sneak off to a hotel for a nooner. I said it before, and I haven't changed my mind—not really into the old folks in bed. Does anybody want to see Bo's greying chest hair, flabby arms and man boobs? Did I really say that? OK, I'm done. Bo and Nora are able to have a few stolen minutes, but it doesn't take long before their cell phones start ringing and they need to get back to reality.
Continuing from yesterday: Todd is on his way to get the yacht ready, when he sees Eli on the docks. Todd says, "Hey Clarke. Glad I ran into you. Now you can die a second time." Then he pulls out his own gun and points it at Eli, and they are at a stand off. They begin negotiating back and forth; drop your gun, no, you drop your gun. In the process, Eli admits to faking Téa's Will, but he will fix it if Todd doesn't shoot him. Todd lowers his gun and says, "Oh, so now you're asking me not to shoot you because you're going to fix the Will. Eli says, "Who else is going to do it?" Todd raises his gun and shoots Eli, then says under his breath, "I'll think of something." Great acting and great writing!!
Eli goes down. Todd rolls him over, but he is only playing dead. Eli clutches his shoulder wound, and then jumps up and starts pummelling Todd. In the scuffle, Todd loses his gun. Eli reclaims his own gun, gets up and orders Todd not to move. Todd turns and reaches for his gun, and ROSS POPS OUT OF THE WATER AND GRABS TODD'S ARM!!!!
Todd is startled, to say the least, and Eli gets away. Ross begs for Todd's help. Todd acts like he is going to leave him there, but knows it would hurt Dani, so he pulls him out of the water. That's when Todd realizes, Ross has been shot. He wants to know why Eli shot him. Ross says Eli wants Dani. Todd presses Ross for more information, but he doesn't answer him.
In the meantime, Starr convinces Dani she needs to find a better hiding place, because it is just a matter of time; since Natalie knows about James' necklace. She suggests her father's yacht. Dani gathers her things and they leave.
Starr takes Dani to the dock, gives her a marina security pass and the alarm code, and points out the yacht at the end of the pier. Dani hurries down the dock toward the yacht, and that is when she sees Todd kneeling over Ross, pointing a gun at him! She almost stops breathing.
Starr returns to her apartment bldg and sees blood on the floor in the hallway. In a panic, he rushes into the apartment, fearing for Hope's safety. Eli is there. He turns and points a gun at her.
Dun, dun, da.....
