He admits to finding newspaper articles about the Buchanans and Natalie and their situation before he came to Llanview. He didn't want her to know because he was afraid she'd think he was only after her money. He really wanted to meet her and see Nat again, he says. Seth thinks he's really up to something. Rex leaves the couple alone and Jess informs Seth that she doesn't trust him now because he never told her about this problem with Rex.

Asa wonders if Bo has any pride in being with her. Bo answers that he's proud she's his friend and she's better than lots of other people. He trusts her as well.

Troy and Nora are all set for a run in the park until Nora hears that it's a 5 mile run. She pretends to receive a cell phone call but Troy's not fooled. He wonders if she's been enjoying all of their exercising and healthful lifestyle. She just thinks it's more difficult than she thought it would be, she confesses. She enjoys the company more though. Their run is delayed by a call from Starr who thanks Troy for stamps he sent her and asks for advice on how to handle missing her dad. He suggests that she think of all their good times together.
Blair, Starr and Jack wait at St. Ann's for a visit with Addie. They decide not to tell her about the situation with Todd but as soon as she sees them she knows something is wrong.

She cleans up the cut on Todd's head as he awakens while Ross decides to try to find some help. Todd still will not believe that it was Téa who foiled the kidnapping, he thinks she's just protecting Ross. He tries to take off after him but his badly sprained ankle stops him. Téa continues to say that she was the one who ruined his plans and finally Todd sees something in her face which makes him realize she's telling the truth. He'll never see his kids again, he laments. Maybe he should kill her instead then.
Not quite done with their run yet, Nora regretfully tells Troy that she has to leave and get Matthew. She urges him to finish. After she's gone, Blair shows up all decked out in running clothes-she's ready to take Nora's place.
SOMEWHERE IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC
Ross looks around the island for any signs of life. Meanwhile, Todd begins to believe that Téa warned Blair rather than it being Ross fault. Téa tries to explain her reason for doing what she did. By warning Blair and preventing the kidnapping, she stopped him from losing any sort of relationship with his children. Téa says that Starr and even Jack would come to hate Todd for taking them away from their mother. When Todd was caught, he would be placed in jail and see his children less than he does now. Todd can't believe that he would be put in jail for kidnapping "his own" children. However, if it did happen, Starr would forget him and he would lose his children forever. Téa reminds him that Starr loves him so much and she will never forget her Dad. And that Blair knows how much her children need their father and will work something out. Ross returns and breaks the news that there is no one on the island, or ever has been. They are in paradise, "Adam and Eve and one extra man. A completely deserted island."
LLANVIEW
Upstairs in Natalie's room, Niki checks to see if Natalie is completely out. After she's satisfied she picks up the phone and calls Ben for the next step of her plan. Meanwhile, downstairs, Ben calls Rae and leaves a message regarding Viki. Once he hangs up, Pete, the landscaper, comes in and hands Ben a book he found outside. He assumes that it's Viki's because she likes to read out in the garden. The book is entitled, "Murder and how to get away with it." Ben is interrupted by a phone call from Niki. She tells Ben that she wants to apologize for how she's been acting lately. To make it up to him, she has planned a romantic evening for the two of them. They can "make love" and do other things that they haven't done lately. Ben says, "That sounds wonderful," but his face doesn't show it. Then Niki asks Ben if he is at the clinic. Ben looks down at the book and lies that he is. Niki asks him to stay there a little longer, for a few hours, so she can prepare for their big night. When they hang up, Niki says, "This will be a night you will never forget." Ben makes more calls, one of which is to Natalie. He leaves a message that he needs to speak to her as some as possible. Ben then calls Sam and leaves a message to call him back.
On the patio, Jess tries to recover from her fight with Seth. Rex walks up and asks if she hates him now. Jess explains that she could never hate her brother and she understands why he lied. Rex: "So you weren't crying because of me?" Jess tells him about the fight she had with Seth and that she just can't be with someone she can't trust. Rex offers to get a glass of water for her and bumps into Ben inside. Rex explains that Jessica is very upset and Ben asks if it's Viki. Rex tells him about Seth and the conversation turns to Viki. Ben pressures Rex to tell him anything he knows about Viki and her behavior lately. Rex tells him about his encounter with Viki in the parlor. Viki had said if he said anything about her behavior, she would make Natalie and Jessica hate him.
Back upstairs, Niki tells herself that she needs to plant some evidence. She picks up Natalie's computer and types an entry on her diary. "I hate Viki and Ben! I want them out of my life!" Then, with latex gloves on, she takes the syringe out of the wrapper and puts Natalie's hands all over it. "Now, all I need is a witness." She walks over to the window and sees Jessica lounging on the patio. Niki walks to her and Ben's room with the syringe with her. She injects the poison into a wine bottle and daydreams about how everything will play out... Ben, dressed in a robe, and Niki, in lingerie, toast to their love. Ben: "To my undying love." He drinks an entire glass and asks Viki why she isn't drinking any. Niki: "Because it's poisoned, my darling." Ben keels over and a very hazy Natalie walks in. The police arrive and Niki accuses Natalie of killing her stepfather. Niki: "She has D.I.D." The cops drag Natalie away while she yells that she didn't do it. Niki kicks Ben and shouts, "I'm free! I'm free!"

In the park, Blair offers Troy some company while he goes on his run. He agrees and asks about Todd because Starr had called earlier. Blair says that she is over Todd and needs to move on. Blair says that first; she needs to stretch because she hasn't run in awhile. In an obvious attempt to gain his attention, Blair makes all sorts of noises while she stretches. She shows off her flexibility and says under her breath, "You get a good look, doctor." Troy smiles and occasionally looks over.
...Back to reality...Niki puts on her red wig and puts on a handless headset to make a phone call to Jessica. Outside, Jessica picks up the phone. Niki tells her that she is at the nursery and plans to pick up some more flowers for the grounds. Niki asks if she should put them under the second story window, hoping for Jessica to notice "Natalie" in her room. Instead, Jessica looks at the other end of house. Niki then asks for her to check the shutters of her bedroom window to see if the paint is peeling. Jessica looks and notices "Natalie" in the window.
After the run, Blair offers Troy a trip to Serenity Springs for a protein shake and some time in the hot tub. Troy says thanks, but he has plans with Nora. Troy turns to leave but Blair makes one last attempt. Blair: "Maybe you can help me, doctor. It hurts when I do this. (She stretches her leg behind her)." Troy: "Well, I suggest you don't do that." Troy rushes off and Blair tries to figure out why Troy didn't "jump my bones in this outfit." She guesses that he really must love Nora, but all she needs to do it work a little harder.
Sam, Matthew and Nora are having a lot of fun playing Candy World when Troy returns from his run. Matthew offers Troy a spot at the table to play, but Sam sees this as his cue to leave. Sam says that he has to be somewhere and offers Troy his spot.
Ben thinks about what Rex said after Rex leaves. He remembers all the times that Viki has acted a little unusual: her reaction when he tried to call Rae, how she said "over my dead body" when Blair asked if she could babysit Starr and Jack, and Natalie saying that Viki has been very mean lately. Meanwhile, Niki tells Jessica that she will be home soon and hangs up. She takes the syringe and puts it back into the liner. "All I need to do is plant this in Natalie's room. This is all too easy." Ben suddenly enters the room and sees Niki holding the syringe.
Niki is congratulating herself for having drugged Natalie and putting her prints on the syringe, which she is about to hide in her "daughter's" room when the sound of her bedroom door being slammed announces Ben's arrival. He insists on knowing what's going on, but Niki, ever the consummate liar, implores him to give her a little more time to finish planning something special for him. He asks what she is hiding behind her back and she drops the hypodermic onto the floor and out of his sight. When she does reveal her latex gloved hands, naturally he is curious about them and the red wig. Niki retorts that it's all part of the salacious role playing game she had planned, to make up for her sexual distance. With that he accuses her of being Niki Smith. He serves up a barrage of questions and accusations, releasing them with rapid-fire intensity. She just as quickly refutes each one in turn, until she relents and reveals her true identity with relief.
Starr returns from a play date, having heard the truth from her friend's babysitter that Jack is her blood brother and her Father a liar. Understanding now that keeping the truth from Blair tore her family apart, she promises never to lie as her Daddy had to her Mom. Blair endeavors to explain that Todd really loves her and Jack, but she is inconsolable and says she never wants to see him again.
While en route from the Mainland to Hawaii, Rae phones ahead to Maui, ignoring the message she sees Ben had left, and checks on the whereabouts of Antonio and Keri. She drifts off into a daydream of reuniting with Mark, telling him to keep her past secret from anyone who might ask. Saying it may be just as well for him, he agrees. She returns to reality realizing she must stop her well intentioned friends from discovering the all too real ghost from her past.
Demanding that Rayburn find a way off the Island, Todd is reminded that he is responsible for wrecking the boat and their present predicament, which Ross doesn't view as a gloomy prospect. In fact, considering that he is wanted by the cops, he thinks of the habitable yet deserted Island as paradise. While alone, Téa and Ross explore their options. He suggests they join forces, he taking care of her and leaving Todd to toil on his own. His libido is in overdrive, mistaking Téa saving his life for a mutually sexual attraction. She immediately and adamantly sets him straight on that score, and runs off to find Todd.
While Rae is airborne, Keri and Antonio arrive at Mark's doorstep. They show him the old Photo of he and "Gretel," he laughs and invites them inside. They explain the purpose of their visit and begin asking questions about the time he and their friend had spent on Maui so many years ago.
Todd is at the shore where he finds a bag. It's contents useless to him, he discards it, wades into the water and discovers a picture of his family has washed up.
Natalie is beginning to stir from her drug-induced sleep, hearing the raised voices around the other side of the mansion.
With Niki unable to convince Ben that life with her may not be so bad, he's had enough talk and threatens to call the police and report her thwarted attempt to murder him. She is quick to point out that Viki can't handle the real secret, and it's a big one. He demands to know what it is but Niki is prevaricating, desperate to buy time.
Antonio and Keri are just leaving Mark's place when Rae arrives.
Niki strikes at Ben with the syringe, he overpowers her during a struggle. As he rises from
the bed she rushes him, his body sails through the second floor window.
