• Seeing a slim opportunity to save her bacon, Natalie stashes Marty in a vehicle and roars over to the Buchanan Lodge.
  
  
• Natalie stashes Marty inside the Buchanan Lodge, then drives away to John, so she can beat Marty to the punch with the paternity truth.

• Marty laughs at Natalie in labor, then takes off.

• Rex’s guilty conscience about not telling anyone about an imprisoned David transfers into a bad dream.

• David manages to reach Dorian by phone. But before he can get in a word edgewise, she hangs up on him, forcing him to keep trying.
  
  
• Dorian sees through Echo’s charade to gain entry into Charlie’s heart. Echo is trying to make her and Charlie like two alcoholic souls against the world.

• Despite Tea’s abilities and hard work as an attorney, Nate blows it all apart when he opens his mouth to tell his side of the story.
  
  
• Nate comes forward as Eddie’s killer, but he could be protecting someone.
  
  
• Starr talks to her best friend Langston about what she really did with James on New Year’s Eve.

• Next week: Tea throws herself into finding the real killer of Eddie Ford… Inez resolves to do something about this… Roxy tries to exact
  vengeance on Marty… Marty unravels so that John and Natalie look cute together… Blair asks Cristian to lend her a hand… Charlie feels incredibly tempted to become an alcoholic again… Echo is hounded by guilt… Joey takes up for Aubrey to a critical Kelly.
  

Kelly is becoming annoying. It seems the sum total of her character is hiring Rex to investigate somebody.

I think Kelly has always been pretty annoying myself. She's perfected this knack for just being a pest.

What a boring week this looks like! WAY to much Marty/John/Natalie and Clint/Inez. I think I'll just keep the DVD on pause and deprogram OLTL from my digital cable box for this week. Even the spoilers about Todd don't seem worth it to put up with the rest of the crap.

Thanks for the spoilers, Chris. I might tune in to OLTL occasionally, but I don't know how much I'll really be watching.
