Picture This!

There has been a prison break outside of Llanview and the vilest criminal of them all is now in Llanfair, the home of Victoria Lord Burke Riley Buchanan  Carpenter Davidson Banks, where her daughters and grandchildren live.  Mitch Laurence is back and he has a dance to finish with Natalie, his one time child-bride.  (I love that Natalie gave Mitch hell, but Mitch loved it even more.)  It seems as though "The Harlot" as Mitch so lovingly refers to Natalie, is hell on wheels and that just gets that old pervert's juices flowing, but Mitch is looking for something even more valuable to him.  He wants his daughter, Jessica.  The last time he wanted her, he tried to rape her.  Natalie told Mitch that he would have to kill her before she would lead him to Jessica.  Mitch assured Natalie that he could and he would oblige her desire to die if she didn't cooperate.  When Mitch wanted to take Natalie upstairs, she glanced at the baby monitor and refused to go with him.  After a struggle between the two of them, Clint came in and demanded that Mitch release his daughter. 

Meanwhile, Nora received an un-expected visitor, the once very honorable, yet ever so horny,Troy McIver , the chest doctor.  For Troy, Nora is obviously still "To Die For". (What I have always liked about Nora is that in these situations and she's been in plenty of them,  Nora possessed amazing aplomb.  After initial shock, Nora treated Troy like she would any other visitor who stopped by for a little chit-chat, well, 'cept she tried to call for help which Troy did no tappreciate.  

At Statesville Prison, John  and Bo get the names of some of the escapees and to Bo's dismay, he finds out that Troy is among the missing inmates, which prompts him to call Nora who is so cool and calm that it would be hard to discover from her voice that Troy is standing right next to her, but Bo sensed that something was wrong and told Nora to say that she loved him if Troy was there. 

At La Boulaie, Todd and Blair are in the cabana (keeping warm).  They are oblivious to what's going on in the outside world as they are only into each other (and so it should be; it's been eight long years).  Todd made all of the right moves.  He almost knocked Blair over with that kiss at midnight, then he was on his game when he confessed that he would not promise her that he would never hurt her again, but he did make several declarations to her.

I can promise that I love you.

I can promise you that I love our children.

I can promise you that I will take care of you.

I can promise you that I will look after our family.

(I think Blair swooned.  I know that I did!)

And if those declarations didn't do it; that neck kiss surely did!

Elsewhere at La Boulaie, Cole who also is also an escapee took refuge in the living room with Starr.  He wanted to see Hope and he got his wish when she walked in on cue, calling out, "Daddy!" (I'm surprised that she recognized him; he looks so different sent he's been in jail.)  Starr was very agitated at Cole for coming to her home.  Cole showed Starr a letter from his father who was thought to be dead.  The letter explained to him that his mother was safe with him and that she was healing from her emotional stress (which caused her to throw Natalie off of the roof, stab Kelly [and kill her own psychiatrist, which was conveniently left off Marty's list of crimes.]  Cole, as usual doesn't have a plan, but he does want Starr to hide him until he gets one.  This is Cole, so we know that the bloodhounds, the police or something else will grab hold of him before he ever grabs hold of a viable plan.
