OLTL—Friday–1/7—The Tables Turn!!


Echo presents Dorian with a bill for more than $8,000 in damages:  dry cleaners, chiropractor, masseuse, manicurist, and the hair stylist who had to completely redo her highlights; plus, her boots were totally destroyed and had to be replaced.  The bill does not include the $10,000 she had been promised for the photo shoot.  She demands a check!  Dorian puts up a valiant fight, but writes a check.  As soon as Echo leaves, Dorian calls her bank and puts a stop payment on it.

Brody and Jessica get bad news:


Jessica finds out from Dr. Wright she has a very serious condition called Placenta Accreta that is putting her and her baby at risk.  The condition causes the placenta to have trouble separating from the uterine wall.  Due to the fact that a normal birth could cause a bleed out that would be life-threatening, and also might require a hysterectomy, the doctor is recommending an immediate C-section; and even that will have risks.

It turns out there is scar tissue in Jessica's abdomen that was probably caused by her gun shot wound.  Charlie says, "OMG."  Jessica was accidentally shot by Charlie when he went after Mitch Lawrence, when Mitch
killed Charlie's son Jared, and then kidnapped Jessica.  Charlie excuses himself and leaves the hospital after nearly having a large argument with Clint when he blames Charlie for all of Jessica's problems.

Echo finds Charlie waiting for her at the church and tries to reason with him in regard to his guilt and Viki and Clint.  Dorian is skulking around in the background wearing a disguise and listening to their conversation.  Charlie tells Echo to go ahead to the meeting because he has to get back to Viki.  Echo goes to the meeting and babbles about lying to a friend of hers.

Bo talks to John about his suspicions that he did not really sleep with Inez.  He tells John that Rex suggested she may have slipped something into his beer to knock him out, so she could CLAIM that they had sex.
John:  "The question is why."
Bo:  "To be honest; I have no idea."

John suggests Inez would be a prime suspect in Eddie Ford's murder, and agrees she had motive and opportunity.  Bo was knocked out all night and she had plenty of time to go to the motel and come back before morning.


Tea suspects that Inez is probably the real killer and Nate is covering up for her.  Nate and Inez have a few minutes alone in the back of the courtroom before the judge returns with his decision.  When the judge returns, he is just about to dismiss the case against Nate, when Nate stands up and says, "wait a minute" and then confesses to killing Eddie Ford.  Everyone is completely thrown by this revelation and no one can understand why in the world he would confess, especially when no one can believe he could possibly be guilty.

Natalie and Marty continue to argue at the lodge and she has a couple more contractions.  She pulls herself together, and even though she is clearly in labor, she tries to leave anyway, to get back to John.  As she starts out the door, her water breaks.  Before she can collect her wits about her, she momentarily lets go of the rifle and Marty takes possession of it.  That's when the tables turn....

Marty takes Natalie's boots and coat and tells her she is leaving her there, just as Natalie was planning to do to her.
Natalie:  "Marty, please.  You cannot leave me here."
Marty:  "Watch me."

Brody tries to explain to Jessica that he wants her to consider the c-section as soon as possible because of the seriousness of the risks that will only get worse, the longer she waits.  He doesn't have any luck reasoning with her so he asks Viki to try.  Viki does an excellent job of explaining everything very thoroughly and then, everyone waits for her decision.

Natalie continues to beg Marty, but she leaves anyway, saying, "Good luck, honey."  Natalie collapses on the floor.


Dun, dun, da....
