OLTL—Wed–10/6—"Blair, Elijah Clarke is alive."


Today was one of the most exciting episodes we have seen in a very long time.  But I'll have to get to the action in a minute.

Hannah Banana is still living at Marty's.  She seems in a bit of a hurry when she picks up her backpack off the table and accidentally brushes some files and papers onto the floor.  When she picks them up, she realizes they are Marty's confidential patient files and just happens to notice that one of them says Brody Lovett.  She very quickly glances at some of the notes, but Marty comes home just then and finds her with the files in her hands.  She is immediately suspicious, but Hannah says she was just picking them up off of the floor.  Marty gathers up the files and then says she needs to go out again, and leaves.

Natalie is wrapping up her investigation outside Todd's.  When Cole leaves in a hurry, she calls out to him and asks him to wait.  She shows him something she found on the ground under Danielle's window and asks if he knows anything about it.  She shows him James' bullet on a chain.  Cole denies knowing anything, but Natalie pushes him.  He almost tells her who it belongs to, but when Starr comes outside, he says, "Ask Starr," then he leaves.  Starr makes up a story about the necklace, but after Natalie leaves, she rushes over to James' apartment.

Hannah is alone at the house when the doorbell rings.  She answers the door and it is Cole.  Cole proceeds to tell Hannah he has feelings for her, blah, blah, and then he kisses her.

Marty arrives at the police station and runs into Natalie. She says she is there to see John.  Natalie says, "Oh, about what?"  Marty brushes past her and says, "It's personal."

Natalie sees Brody in the hall and she tells him she just can't manage to ever say the right thing to Marty.  Brody mentions she has been a big help to him, and that is when she finds out he has been counseling with Marty.

She can't believe he would tell Marty about them, but he says he didn't; that they mostly talked about Jessica and Ford.  She finally says, I know that everyone around here thinks she is Saint Marty, but I don't trust her—so find another therapist!  Marty is just coming around the corner and sees them walk off together.  Her face says, it all.  She has tuned into her suspicions.

Blair, Kelly and Dorian are at La Boulaíe.  Dorian wants Blair to take a sedative since she has not been able to sleep, but Kelly and Blair both say no.  She is blaming herself for everything that has happened with Dani and a lot of shoulda, coulda, woulda, etc.

Just then Todd comes rushing into the room sandwiched in between two of Dorian's security guards, and demands that she call them off. Blair says, "What's going on?"  Then he blurts out to her, "Blair, Elijah Clarke is alive."  The look of horror on her face, gave me chills!!

After she gathers her wits about her, she wants to know if Todd got a call from Eli the way he did from Téa.  Todd says, "No, I'm not hearing things.  This is coming straight from John McBain.  Now, Blair is terrified and the look on her face, again, gave me chills.

She still can't believe it because she knows she shot him.  Todd says, "With blanks.  What happened in Tahiti was staged.  He and his brother rigged it because the heat was on."  Todd says if she doesn't believe him, she should call John McBain because he is the one who figured it out.  Kelly says, "So, Eli is coming here?"  Todd:  "That could be his next stop."

With the latest turn of events, Kelly and Dorian talk about Eli and Kelly's mother, Melinda.  Dorian tries to convince Kelly to let the police handle the situation and Kelly is defiant; that if it weren't for her, the police wouldn't even KNOW that her mother had been murdered by Clarke.

Todd and Blair have some time alone and Todd tells her he wants her to be safe.  He insists they should all go stay out on the yacht.  That way, no one can sneak up on them.  She wants to know why he is so concerned about her, and he says, because he just lost Téa and he doesn't want to lose her too.

Ross and Eli are arguing at the docks.  Eli says he knows a safe way out of town, but Ross says, "This makes no sense.  Why didn't you just wait for us—THAT was the plan."  Eli says that sometimes plans have to change.  He wants to just go pick up Danielle and get out of there, but then Ross tells him that is the problem—Dani is missing.  Now Eli gets that look of "what?!?!"

He is really getting annoyed with Ross and says, "How could you let this happen?  I will lose everything that I worked so hard for."
Ross:  "I'm sorry.  What have you worked so hard for?"
Eli:  "Getting Danielle back for you, bro."
Ross:  "Then why do you seem more upset about Dani, than I do?"
Eli:  "We need Danielle."

Eli wants to use Dani to squeeze Todd for every cent he has.  Eli explains his plan to Ross, who seems to be a bit clueless.  Eli is starting to see that Ross is going to be hard to deal with.  He only wants Dani and Eli only wants the money; Dani is just the means to the end.  Then Eli pulls out a gun and asks Ross if he is with him or not.

Eli tells Ross he killed Téa and Ross says he feels sick. 
Eli:  "You won't be for long."
Ross:  "He [John McBain] told me you would do this. He told me you would turn on me."
Eli:  "You should have listened."

Then Eli shoots Ross.  Ross is still alive and Eli tells him "I really am sorry that it ended up this way.  I always loved you."  Ross says, "Oh Dani..."  Eli says, "Don't worry, you'll be together again soon."  Then he pushes Ross into the water.

Eli hears someone coming, he points the gun toward the footsteps, and it is Todd.  They stare at each other.  Todd looks afraid.

Dun, dun, da.....
