The Party—The Characters—The Drama.
Todd and Téa thank everyone for coming to the party and joining them in their celebration. Todd says "... I know 'the miracle' is more than I deserve, but I'll take it."
Rex arrives at La Boulaie to pick up Kelly for the party. Dorian is beside herself when she realizes what is going on. Rex tries to explain that "it is NOT a date," but she still goes on and on. When Rex leaves the room to see what is keeping Kelly, his cell phone rings. Dorian answers the call and it is Gigi. She tells Gigi that Rex has a date with Kelly!
After drinking more than they should, Christian and Gigi are both feeling neglected. Rex is with Kelly, and Layla has chosen Milanese male models over him! Christian impulsively kisses Gigi and she kisses him back. Then she realizes—wait a minute. Chris tells Gigi he paid extra to get the large room, the king-sized bed and hot tub, etc. and it would be a shame to let it go to waste. He suggests they go up to the suite, rip off their clothes and have wild sex, and just forget about everything else. Gigi is almost going for it, but realizes that tomorrow, they will both be very sorry, so they decide to call it a night, alone.
Todd and Téa thank Kelly and Rex for their help in following up on all of Eli's suspicious activity, which was more than anyone imagined—the death of Kelly's mother and her therapist, the suspicious disappearance of two of Eli's wives, murdering the court clerk in Boston, his role in Tea's "death" and kidnapping, blackmailing Greg Evans, and murdering his own brother. There's probably more I've forgotten about.
Rex is looking for Echo at the party to ask her about his parents and Kelly is tagging along. Someone tells them, she was last seen heading for the rooftop, so they try looking there. Since no one is up there, one thing leads to another and Kelly kisses Rex. He kisses her back and then Kelly says, hey wait a minute, what's going on here? In the end, they decide they are best staying just friends. Kelly confesses to Rex that Joey Buchanan was her first love and she thinks he probably still is her true love.
Starr is inconsolable. Blair tries her best to help her feel better by bringing her macaroni and cheese. But Starr turns it down. She just stares at her photo album and of all the photos of her and Cole when they were happy.
Natalie is getting ready for the party and John tells her she looks beautiful. I'm not a huge fan of Natalie's, but I thought she was absolutely glowing.
In the meantime, Marty goes into Vivian Wright's office looking for Natalie's files. Vivian and Shaun interrupt her, but she covers by saying she wanted to leave a note and was looking for something to write on. After they all leave, Marty doubles back and continues looking through the files until she finds what she wants. She arrives at the party with a smile on her face. She is really becoming a psycho!!
Marty zeros in on John and tells him she has the proof that his girlfriend is a liar. John is worried she has the results of the test and something is wrong with the baby. But, no, she says it is only the reason WHY she had the test. John says Natalie told him the reason why she took the test. Marty just keeps saying, he doesn't understand, but John says he does understand and Marty needs to accept what it is—that Cole's finger prints are in the system and the lab would have figured that out and there is no way Marty could have taken the blame for the murder. He knows she has had a rough day and she is frustrated by what has happened, but this is not the way to go about things. He asks her if she is okay to get herself home, and she says, "I'm always okay."
After John takes Natalie home, she is still upset about Marty, but John tells her, "Nobody is going to spoil what we've got." Marty is at home by herself looking at Cole's picture. She is talking to herself and wondering how it could be possible for Natalie to cheat on John? She vows that since Natalie is the reason she lost Cole, she is going to see to it that Natalie loses John.
Clint reiterates his threat to Echo about not wanting her to blab about him being Rex's father. She wants to know how it is that he is so sure he is Rex's father. Clint tells Echo, that when Shane needed a bone marrow transplant, everyone in Llanview was tested including him. It turned out he was a perfect match! He didn't come forward, however, because Gigi's sister was also a match. [But, she really wasn't. She pretended to be a match, but the blood actually came from Mitch Lawrence, who Roxy thought was Rex's dad, but as it turned out, Rex isn't even HER son (Schuyler Joplin is)--SO, now I'm confused!! How did that work?!?!?]
Viki and Charlie have brought their Echo argument with them to the party. Even I would be telling her to take a break! Viki confronts Echo again about Rex and the possibility Charlie might be his father. Echo doesn't want to talk about anything while she is working.
James drops by La Boulaie to see if Starr is okay. Blair decides it might be a good idea for him to see Starr and possibly cheer her up. Starr is out of her mind with grief and just wants to be distracted. She tells James that Cole broke up with her and he wants her to be with James. She kisses him and begs him to make love to her. James goes along with the kiss, and tells Starr he wants her, but not like this. She tells him to leave and she never wants to see him again.
For those of you who have been asking, "What happened to Destiny?" she is alive and well and was also at the party with Shaun, Matthew and Darren. She and Shaun are still very upset with Shaun's parents and Destiny's grandparents. Destiny has confided in Matthew about Greg being her father, but she didn't tell Darren, so he is feeling left out, to say the least.
Ford tries to talk to Langston, who, by the way looked amazing! In my opinion, she had the most beautiful dress at the Party (well, I did like Kelly's dress also). Dorian threatens to have her security guards break Ford's jaw if he doesn't stay away from Langston. Now, Langston thinks it was Dorian who had Ford beat up; but he says, no, it wasn't Dorian.
Our Friday cliffhanger: Viki pushes Echo until she finally says, "You're right Viki, I AM Rex Balsam's mother." Rex is just returning to the ballroom from the rooftop, and hears her announcement! He stares in shocked amazement.
Dun, dun, da.....
