Three More Days Before the Final Episode
Death Be Not Proud;
Though Some Have Called Thee Mighty
and Dreadful; Thou art not so
Watching Starr holding a copy of the Sun with the headline reading, "RIP" With a picture of Cole and then his name made me sad for a moment.
Then I realized that it was just another hoax that Ron had successfully pulled off. The doorbell rang and Starr let Dani into the foyer where Dani gave Starr her condolences, only to be told by Starr that Cole was in deed alive. Todd cautioned Starr not to say anything, but she assured her father that Dani was one of them, a Manning. Todd told Starr that she just as well tell Jack or Sam.
Not long thereafter, we see Jessica, reading the Banner as she laments the loss of her baby's daddy, Robert Ford. Jessica recalls receiving the news from the doctor the night before.
Natalie went home to comfort her sister and assure Jessica that Mitch is most certainly dead this time.
The Ford brothers, James and Nate are also devastated.
John, Natalie, Clint and Viki had a reunion in Viki's hospital room. John, ever on the job, question Viki and Clint about Allison's motive. Viki acted as though she were clueless, not telling John and Natalie that Allison had sworn that Mitch Laurence was not Jessica's father, but Clint is her natural father.
Clint later calls Vimal to do a little job for him. He wants him to do a DNA test for him, but this time it will not require that he change the results of the test.
On his way out of the hospital, John ran into Tea who told him that she almost told Blair that Todd killed Victor. John tells Tea not to worry that he is about to bring Todd down. He had one of Llanview's finest steal Todd's cell phone. John told Tea that the lab was retrieving information from it while the two of them are speaking about it.
Todd and Blair remain a united front as they have both conspired to fake Cole's death and reunite him with his father and mother. Blair takes stock in the man she's loved for most of her life and she tells him how grateful she is that he was there for her and their family. Todd knows that it can all go away all too soon.
