Dorian's House

Blair races down the stairs trying to escape Todd/Walker. She runs into Dorian who wants to know what's going on. A desperate Todd/Walker follows. Blair screams at him to leave but he won't budge. Dorian asks Blair, "what has he done?" Dorian tells him if he doesn't go she will call the police. David comes from the living room and looks at the disheveled Blair and asks, "did he do this to you?" Blair doesn't answer. Todd/Walker tells David, "this is between me and my wife." David tells him he has to leave but Todd/Walker was adamant. So David drags Todd/Walker to the door then pushes him out and slams and chains the door. David turns and asks Blair, "what did he do to you?" Dorian says, "I know what he did. He did to you what he did in college." Blair yells back, "NO DORIAN DON'T SAY THAT".(Sidebar: Don't think we forgot what he did in college and let's say it together "Marty Saybrooke").

New Year's Party

Bo holds a limp Gabrielle in his arms. He performs CPR but she does not respond. Nora rushes in with news about Troy and sees Bo trying to resuscitate Gabrielle and telling her how much he loves her. She is in shock. Nora calls John McBain on her cell phone and tells him that the Music Box Killer (MBK) has struck again.

Rex won't leave Jen alone, so Marcie's brother Ron comes to the rescue. He is rewarded by Jen throwing herself at him. She gets dismissed.

Nora finds Al/Michael (sidebar: these days I feel slightly schizophrenic myself trying to remember who is pulling double duty). Nora tells him they need a doctor upstairs and takes him with her to help Gabrielle.

Viki's House

Kevin talks to Viki about his divorce from Kelly. He admits to her he has fallen in love with Blair. Viki does not respond happily. Kevin says, "well don't look so happy for me." Viki responds, "Baby, Blair is a very complicated person." Kevin goes on to defend Blair by saying she has been hurt by the people she loved most. Viki reminds him that he said that Blair wasn't able to let Todd/Walker go and somehow something always draws them back together. She also tells him that Blair and Todd's relationship is very destructive and she doesn't want to see him get caught up. While Viki is talking, Kevin has flashbacks of his night with Blair. He says, "I thinks it's a little too late for that." Viki asks, "what do you mean by that?" He says, "don't worry Mom, I'm not going anywhere, Blair's not ready to leave Todd. To be honest with you I don't know what's going to finally make her do it, but I hope she does before he destroys her."

Dorian's House

Starr rushes down the stairs and demands to know what's going on. Blair begs her to go back up stairs. True to Starr form she says, "No, why isn't anybody telling me why everybody's yelling." Todd/Walker bangs on the door yelling for Blair to open up and let him in. Starr hears it's Todd/Walker and rushes to the door. Blair panics and tells her to get away from the door and go upstairs. Dorian jumps in and asks the same. Todd/ Walker says he's not leaving. David is confused as to why she keeps calling him Todd. Dorian, "because that's who he is." Starr pleads with Blair to let him in that he's just upset. Todd/Walker says he's going to kick the door down, then Blair threatens to call the police, but Starr yells no. The banging stops. Dorian thinks he's gone, but David knows better. David thinks Todd/Walker is looking for another way into the house. Starr says she won't let Blair call the cops and put her dad in jail. Dorian says, "he deserves to go to jail for what he did." Blair tells Dorian to stop it. Dorian goes in the living room. David goes to check outside. Starr storms upstairs after telling Blair that all Todd/Walker ever wanted was for them to be a family again. A scream comes from the living room, it's Dorian.

Surprised by Troy's appearance at the gallery, Lindsay manages to pull a gun from a drawer and point it at him. She reminds him of his past treatment of her but he explains that he was ill then and dares her to shoot him. "...death would be too good for you...I want you to suffer on death row," she snarls at him. Grabbing her and ripping the phone from her as she attempts to call the police, Troy insists he's innocent and wants her to believe him. She finally hesitatingly agrees.

When she comes bouncing in, radiant and happy to see her husband and giving him a hug, he warns his grandson to watch his treatment of his pregnant wife. Kelly basically dares him to divorce her now that everyone knows their situation. He refuses to believe that she's pregnant; she refuses to answer any of his questions. Flash is going crazy being constantly watched by the police guard and Asa suggests she make a trip to St. Blaze's, an island that he owns. She decides that she won't be forced away.

Todd shows up at Llanfair with Starr and prevents Viki from calling Blair. In response to her question of what happened, Todd informs her that his wife had sex with Kevin at the Palace, that they had a fight and made up "kind of." Starr became upset after the fight and was going to leave anyhow. The desperate man begs Viki for help. She informs him that he needs to return Starr. He recounts the details of his run-in with Blair. She attacked him and then they made love. She tripped and fell but he knows she still loves him. When Jess bursts in, confused over a news report that a dead Todd is wanted for kidnapping Starr, he gently breaks the news that the man she thought was Walker is indeed Todd. After getting over the initial shock, she confesses that she missed him and that she and her mom need him. They want him to be happy.

Dorian convinces Blair to press rape charges against Todd. A skeptical Nora is willing to listen but warns her that she must be willing to stand behind anything that she says. As Todd tells his story to Viki, Blair has quite a different version for Nora - Todd attacked her and raped her. Nora advises an irate Dorian that Todd's previous bad acts cannot be mentioned in court and that it will be quite difficult to prove rape. Blair will not be able to back out later, once the wheels get set in motion, she continues. Blair is insistent and Nora agrees to have Todd picked up.

Dorian is not around when Aunt Betsy stops by, livid, with incriminating photographs of Paul. David invites her in, arousing her curiosity when he tells her he has the answer for her. He proceeds to talk about Dorian's illegitimate daughter, Adriana, raised by nuns in Puerto Rico. The girl is sweet and pure, he continues. Who better to collect Aunt Betsy's money? The elderly woman asks David what's in it for him; she decides to put her will on hold until she can check this information out further. Paul lurks nearby, listening. Once the woman is gone, David calls Carlotta for the name of Adriana's school and calling them, confirms that she's there. After he heads out, Paul calls upstairs to River. Giving him the information, he also offers the use of his officer's uniform for a free flight to Puerto Rico. He'll clear the way for him, he offers.

Natalie has a gift for John; it's paint, cleaned out from Cris' studio. John is confused but she advises him that his walls look terrible and she thought he might like to touch them up a bit. Learning that he's stymied on the case, she offers to help out, taking notes as he states the facts. Realizing that he still has a mental block, John decides that painting might be a good thing. The two share a moment when the FBI agent accidentally gets paint all over his favorite shirt and yet again when, as he unbuttons the shirt for Nat to clean it, she spots an old injury, from a bullet. Learning that he lost someone that he was trying to save, she realizes that he really did understand how she felt. Riley, who wants to let John know that Flash is going to sneak past her constant guard and get into trouble, interrupts their moment. He also wants to know if they can live together so that she can get out from the stifling atmosphere at Asa's place. Nat decides it's a good time to collect Cris' paintings from the gallery and leaves the two alone. John refuses to call off the guards, even though Flash may have only been a decoy. Furthermore, she's safest at Asa's for the time being. Riley agrees to convince his girlfriend to stay. Heading to the police station, John asks Nora if she thinks that Troy is capable of all of the killings. Her mind on her newest case, she begs off, offering to talk about it later on.

Flash is happy to see Riley and asks if they can live together. A stern Asa won't have it.

Dorian notifies Kelly of the rape charges who in turn tells her husband that it's all his fault. Todd found out what he did.
