Todd and Téa are enjoying their "honeymoon" at the Palace Hotel, when she starts to get a headache; probably from too much champagne the night before. When she gets out a bottle of aspirin, she suddenly has a flashback of her time at the hospice and she nearly faints. Todd gets very worried, but she seems to be okay after that.
After Natalie tells Brody, Marty is at Llanview with Jessica, he rushes home. Dr. Wright happens to be passing through the station on her way to the Court House. Natalie tells Dr. Wright that her personal medical files were delivered to Marty's office by mistake. Dr. Wright says that is impossible, but then remembers that Marty had been in her office saying she wanted to leave a note and was looking for a piece of paper.
Greg Evans is in court for sentencing. He has confessed to all of the charges and awaits the judge's decision. Destiny has been staying with Shaun instead of her grandparents, so when she shows up at court, Mrs. Evans says, "Your father and I were so worried." Destiny points at Greg and says, "That's my father." Mr. Evans says, "...and he is very glad you're here." Destiny says, "He shouldn't be. I'm just here to make sure he gets what he deserves."
The writers rehash most of the same story we already heard when Greg was in the hospital (after Eli's two attacks). Greg tells Destiny her mother, Charlene, died when she fell and hit her head after they had been arguing. He did not, however, call the police and instead, hid her body!! Destiny freaks out and wants to know if she is in a wall somewhere or what?!?!? [We never got an answer because the judge entered the courtroom.] Destiny runs out into the hallway. Mr. and Mrs. Evans follow and try to talk to her, but she tells them to leave her alone. She then goes to see Téa and tells her she wants to divorce her parents.
Nora tells the judge there were many extenuating circumstances involving Dr. Evan's crimes and her office has worked out a plea agreement with his attorney. She recommends a six-year sentence with the chance of parole after four; and, the judge agrees to it.
After everyone has arrived for the DNA tests, Rex decides he doesn't want to know the truth. Charlie tries to impress on Rex, "This is not the kind of secret you want to keep. We're talking about your parents." Rex isn't convinced he will be better off knowing.
Viki tries to talk to him. Finally, Clint says he will have a private conversation with Rex and he takes him out in the hallway. Clint reminds Rex of what he has to lose if the truth comes out and threatens that he will NEVER see a dime of Buchanan money, etc., etc. He tells Rex to go back out and say, that even though Clint tried his best to talk him into the test, he has not changed his mind. Clint asks him if he understands, and Rex says he does.
When they go back to where everyone is waiting, Charlie asks, "Well?" Rex says, "Ok, let's do it." Clint is beyond stunned! They all have swabs and leave. Charlie tells Echo he is very excited that he might have another son.
After Dorian returns to Clint's office, she finds the key to the desk drawer and starts to open it. Alarms and flashing lights start going off and the office door locks so she can't get out. Matthew Buchanan comes to the rescue, but not so fast.......
Dorian is very grateful he opened the door for her, but soon realizes Matthew is now a mini-Clint clone and he is not going to let her off so easily. He wants to know every detail of what she was doing in Clint's office and finally accepts a large bribe from Dorian not to tell Clint she tried to unlock his desk. Matthew counts his cash while Dorian slinks out.
When Clint returns from the lab, Matthew is waiting and says, "You will never believe what happened." He appears to be playing both sides because he says, Dorian didn't see what was in the drawer, but he did. He pulls out the half heart necklace, holds it up and asks Clint, "Is this what she was looking for?"
Marty starts to tells Jessica something about Brody, but then says, maybe she shouldn't say anything. Jessica wants to know what it is. Marty says she thinks Jessica has a right to know. Jessica: Is something wrong with Brody? Marty: No, but, I'm being investigated because of the Hannah O'Connor case and the Medical Board is reviewing all of my patient files. Jessica: I'm so sorry. Marty: So am I. I don't want Brody's file to end up with them, even though they have promised to be discrete. I would feel terrible if something came out. Jessica: I don't understand. Marty pulls out Brody's file and says she doesn't think Brody would want his secrets to be made public.
Brody arrives to find Marty still there. Jessica casually mentions something about still waiting for the results of her amnio test, and Marty says, "Oh, you had an amnio too?" Jessica: "What do you mean 'too'." Marty: "Well, Natalie had hers yesterday." Jessica: "She did?" Marty: "Oh, I thought you knew. Well, John didn't even know." Brody: "Until you told him." Jessica: "You knew too?" Brody: "I was here when John and Natalie were discussing it."
[Susan Haskell as "Crazy Marty" is her best performance since she returned to the show! I hope the writers keep it up for awhile. Regular Marty is way too boring.]
As Marty is leaving Llanfair, Natalie is just returning home and she calls Marty a few choice names. She tells her she knows that her personal files did NOT end up in her office by mistake and that she did in fact steal them out of Dr. Wright's office. Marty says she doesn't know what she is talking about. Natalie threatens Marty.
Jessica goes upstairs to rest and Brody and Natalie have a chance to talk. They now know that Marty has figured out why Natalie had the paternity test. Natalie: "The question is, what is she going to do next?"
Dun, dun, da.....
