— Current Commitments
— Future Complications
Clint questions Matthew about Dorian breaking into his office and wants to know whether or not she saw the necklace. Matthew says she didn't. Clint confides in Matthew and asks him to keep quiet about the necklace, saying, "You never saw this necklace. Can I depend on you?" Matthew asks, "Can I depend on YOU?"
Matthew is still upset that Clint is dating the mother of his arch rival, Nate Sallinger. Clint explains that his main objective is protecting his family and their future, namely Buchanan Enterprises. Matthew stills wants clarification, so he continues to probe, "So, you don't like Nate's Mom?" Clint says, "Asa always said, 'Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.' I have a plan, Matthew. I always have a plan."
Clint tells Matthew he has decided to promote him from apprentice to salaried employee. Matthew suspects Clint is trying to buy him off, but Clint says that along with the promotion will be added responsibilities. Matthew says okay.
Dorian goes from her encounter with Matthew to Llanfair to talk to Viki about the necklace and her theory about Clint being Rex's father. She tells Viki all of the details of how she saw Clint with the other half of the necklace when they were both at the hospital.
Viki wants to know WHY would Clint have the necklace. Dorian spells it out: Because, there was a baby, Clint didn't want it and there was a cover up. Viki is still convinced that Echo is the one who forged the letters from Rick and Lilly and then shows Dorian the book. Dorian peruses the book and realizes it is a "vanity book" published by Asa's grandmother and probably there are not very many copies of it around. Viki agrees. Then Dorian says, what do you want to bet Clint has a copy of it.
Viki does appear to have a light bulb moment, but decides she wants to wait until the DNA results come back before she jumps to any conclusions. However, after Dorian leaves, she heads straight for Clint's office, to hear his side of the story.
Kelly flies to London to see Joey, but finds Kevin at home instead. Joey is off on a photography adventure. Kevin convinces her to stay for dinner and she decides she can probably stay for a couple of days. They both decide to drop by Zane's school for a visit.
Gigi gets home and goes straight to Rex's apartment. Rex tells Gigi Echo is his mother and Charlie is his father. Then, after they finally settle the matter of who kissed who and it didn't mean anything, they get back to the relationship they had more than a year ago, or however we've been going through this.
John drops by Capricorn with a mysterious box that was Eli's. Since Blair is his widow and only surviving relative, it now belongs to her. The police found a key in Eli's personal effects that led to a safe deposit box. The lab checked out the box to make sure it was safe.
Christian returns from Paris and comes straight to work at Capricorn. Later, Blair and Christian stare at the box, but she doesn't want to open it. She tells him to just throw it away, but he puts it under the bar instead.
Natalie is at Llanview and in total panic over what Marty might do next. Brody does his best to calm her, and then tells her, he has a plan and is going to go talk to Marty. John comes by Llanfair and sees Natalie looking at Brody's file and wants to know, what's up with that. She covers her **** as usual.
Meanwhile, Marty calls the DNA lab pretending to be Natalie. They still don't have the results yet.
Brody visits Marty and she says, "Brody, what a nice surprise. He says, "Cut the crap, Marty. You've been torturing Natalie for days with all your hints. And whatever it is that you think you know, you're going to keep your mouth shut."
He forces his way into her home. She denies knowing anything, but he tells her to spill it. She says she knows he slept with Natalie, that the baby she is carrying might be his, and she thinks John deserves to know. She picks up the phone and says she is going to call him.
Brody says he doesn't think she is going to do that when she sees what he has. He then produces a photo taken from video surveillance tapes at the hospital showing Marty in Dr. Wright's office making copies of Natalie's file. He threatens to expose her. Since stealing medical files is a federal offense, she would lose her license, go to prison and never work again.
He continues by saying she needs to get over her sick need to hurt other people instead of facing the fact that your son made a mistake. "I won't let you hurt Jessica; do you understand me? I'm a cop, former Navy Seal and I can make things happen. I don't like threatening you, but you aren't giving me any other choice."
After he leaves, she calls John.
Dun, dun, da....
