OLTL—Fri–1/21—So far, it's all a big mystery.


Lots of exciting developments today, and definitely more than one cliff hanger.

Blair and Christian are in Paris.  She is looking for the artist who painted the portrait left by Eli and he wants to try to work things out with Layla.  Christian posted a notice online in regard to Blair's portrait hoping that if anyone knows anything about its provenance, they might contact him.  Blair and Chris are sipping champagne in the hotel restaurant when they are approached by an art dealer who saw Christian's posting.  It turns out he does know the artist, but the artist is extremely reclusive and doesn't want anyone to be given his name.  However, the art dealer decides it would be good if he got a visitor, so he gives Blair the artist's address, on the condition she does not reveal where she came by the information.

Just as Blair and Christian are about to run off to find the artist, Layla appears.  She was able to get the rest of the day off and hoped she would be able to find Chris at the hotel.  Blair leaves and they sit down to talk.  Christian confesses that he drank too much on New Year's Eve and woke up with Blair the next morning, but that nothing happened.  He said he was just upset because he thought she was sleeping with Stephen, even though that was ridiculous and he knows she would never do that.  Layla says she is sorry, but she DID sleep with Stephen.  Dun, dun, da.....

Viki drops by BE to talk to Clint.  He is reading The Sun's article about Inez possibly being Eddie's killer.  She inquires about his feelings in regard to Inez since he dated her briefly, but he brushes it off as — anything is possible when people get to be his age.  Viki asks Clint to co-host a christening party for their daughter's new babies and he is delighted.  He tells her he has already set up a trust fund for "our boys."  Viki is very surprised, but Clint says he wants to make sure all of his affairs are in order in case anything happens to him.  She says, "Now you're scaring me.  Are you ill?  Tell me the truth."  "I'm as healthy as a horse, but as Asa used to always said, 'Hope for the best, but plan for the worst.'"

Bo and Nora are home again and promising each other they will never let anyone come between them EVER.  Matthew comes out of his room and sees Bo and demands to know, "What's HE doing here?"  Nora tries to explain, then Bo tries to explain.  Neither of them wants to go into the details about Clint's involvement with Matthew, but they do question him on whether or not it was Clint that told him Bo was having an affair with Inez and that Nora was also having an affair.  When he says, "So what if he did?"  Nora tells him, it just wasn't true.  The topper is when Bo says he doesn't want him working at BE anymore, and in fact, wants him to steer clear of his Uncle Clint altogether.  Matthew says, no way, and storms out of the apartment.  Bo and Nora's plan is to gather evidence against Clint and just hope Matthew doesn't tip him off before they get something solid.

Against his parent's direct orders, Matthew goes directly to BE and confronts Clint.  Clint wants to know what his parents told him.  Since they didn't reveal much, it makes it all that easier for Clint to cover over anything that was said, and plot a new strategy.  When Matthew says he doesn't want to quit working at BE, Clint offers a proposal..... Dun, dun, da.....

Inez and Nate are in jail trying to figure out how the gun that killed Eddie wound up in their apartment.  Téa receives a call from the judge and he is ready to rule on Nate's case.  She goes to the jail to escort him to court.  Long story short, the judge dismissed the charges.

Blair arrives at the address given to her by the art dealer.  There is phonograph playing loudly, so she knocks hard.  The music stops and she continues to knock, saying, I know you're in there, I heard the music.  Finally the door opens and when the man sees Blair, he says, "It's YOU!" and quickly pulls her into the apartment.  Dun, dun, da.....
