OLTL 1/10: The one where Todd kills all the Thornharts
I didn't watch yesterday, even though I think Viki went to heaven again to hang out with Nan Flanagan.
Clint and Viki survived their respective heart attacks/shootings and hire that Indian guy to do a DNA test on Jessica without letting her know. (Allison told them that Jessica really is Clint's biological daughter.) Clint gives Indian guy a check with a lot of zeroes, and Indian guy thinks it's funny that Clint carries his checkbook in his robe.
Today is mostly flashbacks from Jessica and Starr.
Apparently the eldest Brother Ford died from his injuries (death by chandelier, so ignoble). Mitch has been shot. Jessica cries all over the place b/c she must have fallen in love with Ford since last I watched. I wonder if Tess knows he's dead? Jessica asks Natalie to go be insufferable with John b/c you never know when someone you love is going to die for cartoon reasons.
James, the middle Ford, overheard Starr tell Cole that she's never stopped loving her, so he breaks up with her.
John and Tea have a plot to arrest Todd for Victor's murder. It would seem that the accepted story is that Tomas killed Victor. Do we know what the truth is? Todd has seemed obviously guilty about something whenever I've watched him. John has evidence against Todd b/c he stole Todd's phone for some period of time. Todd is nervous when he gets his phone back.
At the beginning of the episode, Blair reads a headline that Cole is dead. Todd comforts Starr, but then Dani shows up, and Starr says Cole is alive. In a series of poorly directed flashbacks, we learn that Cole survived the shooting, but is going back to Statesville, as soon as they find the key. Starr sobs that Cole jumped in front of the gun and is only in jail b/c he killed Eli when he thought Eli had killed Starr and Hope. Starr later tells Cole that her dad is going to find Marty and Patrick (who Cole thinks is alive, and may very well be for all I know), and then Todd will bring Cole to them. Starr tells Cole that everyone has to think he's dead, though. They cry that they won't see each other again. Starr tells Dani that she doesn't know where Cole is, just that he's with Patrick and Marty. My guess is that Todd killed the crap out of Cole and then lied that he took him to see Marty and Patrick, who I think he also killed.
The show ends with John walking into his apartment to find Natalie there to be insufferable.
