OLTL—Tues–1/18—Clint's ruse is unraveling


Wow!!  The story, the writing, the acting, and the surprise element—it just keeps getting better.  I am SO impressed with the collective talent that has taken this soap opera to a whole other level!

Blair and Christian are working out at Serenity Springs and she brings up the subject of the oil painting.  She mentions that Todd was not able shed any light on the mystery.  Chris takes another look and then sees an identifying mark on the back of the canvas, indicating it came from Paris.  They decide that since they both have a reason to go to Paris, a trip should be planned.

Joey takes "Aubrey" to the hospital nursery, but she is distracted.  Aubrey had confronted Kelly at the gym and threatened her; but when she saw Joey coming, she pretended that Kelly had attacked her, hurting her arm and had said all kinds of mean things to her.  Joey was shocked and asked Kelly to leave.  So now, Joey is wondering if Aubrey is still thinking about Kelly.  She IS, but she is also thinking about Cutter and what he might do next.  Kelly runs into Cutter at Serenity Springs and he flirts with her and then actually kisses her.  She is not pleased, and slaps him.  He laughs it off, throws his towel at her and enters the showers.

Joey sits down with Aubrey in the hallway outside of the nursery and tells her that he feels he doesn't really know enough about her yet.  He wants to know how she sees her life after they get married and if she wants to have a family because that is very important to him.  When he talks about all of the things that he wants to eventually do with his life, she starts to see him in a whole new way.  They are facing each other and not paying any attention to anything else.  Just then, Cutter rounds the corner and overhears Aubrey tell Joey he is the most amazing man she has ever met, and no one has ever cared about her as much as he does.  Uh-oh....

Clint is working with the horses in the stables at the Buchanan estate when Echo shows up with a warning:  "Trouble that starts with a T and, that rhymes with D and that stands for Dorian."  She tells him about her encounter with Dorian at the AA meeting where Dorian was hiding in the back of the room in disguise, hoping to hear Echo confess that Clint is really Rex's father.

Clint continues his hateful attitude toward Echo, but she tells him that's fine—his loss is Charlie's gain.  Rex and Shane think the world of Charlie and he adores them.  Clint says, that's great.  Charlie needed a son and he gave him one.  But Echo says, if Dorian has her way and she tells Charlie the truth—it will kill him.  Rex can handle it, but Charlie won't be able to.  Clint suggests the solution to the problem is just keep Dorian from telling him.  Echo says Dorian is not really the problem—she is.  She is having a hard time looking Charlie in the eyes and lying to him!!!!

Echo wants to know what happened to the Clint she used to know.  He was a tough man, but he knew right from wrong; and he was loyal. "Back then, you vowed never to be like your father.  Well, look at you now."  "I've grown.  People don't stay the same decade after decade.  Today I know more about how the world really works.  And now that I know that, I no longer consider it to be an insult to be like Asa—far from it."  "You have another side Clint—a better one—like Bo.  Where did that go?"  She asks Clint if, when he looks in the mirror, does he like what he sees.  Clint doesn't answer.

Langston and Ford come into the living room of La Boulaise and find Dorian looking at the issue of Maintenant with Aubrey's photo.  She knew from the beginning that Aubrey looked familiar, but couldn't remember any details of a prior meeting.  When she sees Ford again, she remembers.  Dorian had seen Aubrey in the Palace bar with Ford!!

Ford explains meeting Aubrey at the Venice Film Festival, where he was pretending to be a hot shot film maker.  Aubrey zoomed in on him immediately, giving him the impression that she felt as though they were soul mates.  When Ford decided to confess to her about his cover story, she dropped him like a hot potato.  Dorian is thinking "Hmmmmm....."

Bo and Nora are still at the courthouse questioning Inez about her story/alibi.  She admits to drugging Bo and lying that they slept together.  Bo tells Nora he believes Inez, and Nora says, "I do too."  [woo-hoo!!!]

Bo:  "You really believe that I didn't sleep with her?"
Nora:  "I really do."

Inez denies having anything to do with Eddie's murder.  But Nora still thinks Inez was the one who was working with Eddie to kidnap Nora and break up her marriage so she could have Bo all to herself.  Nora badgers Inez to the point where she finally blurts out that it was Clint—"Clint is the one who wanted me to sleep with you, Bo."

She explains about Clint's revenge.  She details all of the favors Clint did for her in regard to her sons, so that she would owe him and could collect later.  Nora questions that logic, but Inez said it wasn't as much about what he did, but what he was threatening to do (take away all of the favors he arranged for her sons) that forced her to make the decision to cooperate.  She also tells them it was Clint who was working with Eddie to kidnap Nora so that Inez would have the opportunity to get Bo alone in her apartment.  When Bo and Nora put their heads together, they are starting to see the clues starting to add up.

Bo is quite angry now.  He has Inez arrested for drugging him, and then he can hold her until he does some more investigating.  He starts to leave but Nora is worried, because she knows where he is going.  She begs him not to do anything he will regret, and also to be careful.

Clint is looking at himself in the mirror when Bo shows up and appears in the mirror standing behind him.  Clint turns around as though he is seeing a ghost, and is visibly shaken.  "Bo, what is it?  Is something wrong?"




Bo pulls out his revolver and points it at Clint.



Dun, dun, da....
