One Life to Live - Today

Aliens vs. Predators

At the end of the group session, “Jessica” is obviously upset. The doctor asks if she wants to share, which of course she does not… Just that Brody’s story had gotten to her. So, he ends the meeting. Brody goes to check on her one-on-one… And she tells him that she’s just dying to see her kids. Once a nun comes in to invite them to the movie in the common area, she tells Brody that this is the “perfect time” for something and takes him to her room. If you can’t guess what’s coming next… She asks him to bust her out to see her kids… It’s her first Christmas without Brie and she’s going to miss her first Christmas with Chloe… And she wants to watch Christmas lights with Brie, just like she did last year… Her kids are her only reason for living… She has her “own personal Iraq”… Brody with his big ol’ heart says… Okay. But - Okay, this calls for dialogue:

Tess: I don’t know how to thank you.

Brody: I do. Have sex with me.

I promise I’m not making that up… It’s too outrageous to make up. Of course she agrees. Off comes Brody’s shirt, and on the bed they go. There was a great comment when Jessica asked why… And Brody responded something like “I’m a guy. Guys like to have sex.” It’s smooth sailing until… The doctor walks in on them. When Jessica asks why he’s here, Brody says, “Because I called him.” See that coming? I didn’t.

At the hearing, things have moved on to bail. As the judge is speaking, Nora is rummaging through her case pulling out loads of file folders and what appears to be document CD’s. There’s a great back and forth between Nora and Tea about Todd’s history… The restraining order, the fact he has a private jet, on and on and on. After Tea almost gets herself into contempt for calling the judged un-biased, he denies Todd’s bail. Thankfully, Tea requests an immediate trial… So get ready folks… Evidentiary hearing tomorrow. Whoo!

After Vanessa and Lola leave for the hearing (Lola doesn’t even bother saying goodbye to Christian, by the way), Sarah finds a card on the floor with V. written on the front. Inside, there’s only one line: Una vida para una videa. O dos. Translation? A life for a life. Or two. Scary, huh? So, the couple run over to the deportation hearing where things haven’t been going to swell. Vanessa asks for asylum, which is denied because certain criteria haven’t been met… Which, in this case, is that the fear she has isn’t based on her race or nationality. Even when Christian runs in to the rescue with the note, the judge won’t change his mind. When things just couldn’t get any worse, Christian says something along the lines of “You can’t send her - We’re getting married.”

Jared and Natalie are grabbing a snack while Christmas shopping and babysitting Brie and Chloe. It’s a really cute scene where they are trying to guess which bags hold gifts for each other… Natalie guesses a bag that hold socks. And though it’s not quite Christmas, she gives Brie her present… A picture album of her and her mother. When Natalie steps away for a second, Jared seeks counsel with little Chloe… And shows her his gift for Natalie… An engagement ring. I hear wedding bells in Llanview!
