OLTL—Thurs–1/20—You'll never prove a thing.


The episode on Thursday, danced around several of the major story lines, but only tidbits were revealed.

Kelly grills Ford about Cutter and whether he could actually be Aubrey's brother, or not.  Ford doesn't remember anything overt between them, but doesn't think they really acted like siblings.

Cutter and Aubrey go to the hospital to meet Jessica and Natalie.  When he is introduced to the family, Brody gets a vague recollection of having met Cutter somewhere before, but can't remember where.

John talks to Nora at the courthouse after Marty's hearing, where Marty is committed to St. Ann's.  [Didn't I tell you they would go that route.  This way, she can rehab and when the time seems right, the writers can revive her character if they want to.  — In my opinion, she played a MUCH better crazy Marty than she ever did a shrink!]  Nora spills to John about Bo, Inez and Clint and John wants to know where Bo went.  Nora says she is worried that he has gone straight to Clint and it won't be pretty, especially since now, Bo isn't answering his phone.  John tells Nora to make a few phone calls and try to find Clint while he gets the car.

Vimal has decided to resign from BE and move to China where "Mr. Buchanan" can never find him.  He admits to his wife that he changed two DNA test results in exchange for the promise of a promotion, that never materialized.  He tells her that when he got to the lab, he found out that BOTH of Clint's daughters had paternity tests and he couldn't remember which daughter's results he was supposed to change.  He flipped a coin to make the decision!!  One of the girls thinks that Brody Lovett is her baby's father, but he isn't.  To add to the intrigue, Ford had a follow up exam at the hospital in regard to his injuries from the boxing match with Eddie.  He walks by the nursery and looks at the babies, fanning the flames of speculation that he really is the father of Jessica's baby.  [This is a typical soap opera tactic, so it could mean nothing.  Sometimes the writers wait to hear from the fans before deciding which way to go with the story.  If a lot of fans write in and say they will stop watching the show, if Ford turns out to be the father, the writers take that into consideration.]

Bo is still pointing his revolver at Clint while he attempts to force the truth out of him.  Clint finally admits to everything except killing Eddie Ford, but says Bo will never be able to prove any of it.  At some point, Clint puts himself into a vulnerable position and Bo hits him in the back and knocks him to the ground.  Clint tells Bo to go ahead and shoot him, he doesn't care anymore.  Bo is really pushed to the brink and contemplating pulling the trigger, but Nora and John arrive just in time.  Nora begs Bo to stop.  He tells them both to get out.  Finally, Nora convinces Bo that Clint was "trying" to break them up, but he couldn't; so, he LOST.

Bo realizes "Red" is right.  He takes Pa's cowboy hat, telling Clint he doesn't know who should wear the hat now, but, it definitely should not be Clint.  He leaves hand-in-hand with Nora.
