Part 1 Summary: Surprised that Langston didn't want to buy prom tickets, Starr picked up a couple for her pal as a "you broke up with Ford" gift.
Natalie was stunned when she realized Marty had heard her say that Natalie and John would have gotten back together if Marty hadn't gotten pregnant. Marty wanted an explanation. "Is that really what you think?" Marty asked. She meant what she said, replied Nat. Marty insisted that she and John were very tight. Natalie wondered why Marty was so unhappy, but Marty pointed out that John chose her. "We're starting a family," Marty explained, calling Natalie's bid for attention "just sad." "You don't have a relationship with John," Marty added. Brody tried to break up the argument when Natalie went on and on about another kiss she had had with John after the accident on the mountain. "John is thrilled about the baby," Marty insisted. "John is never going to leave you, not as long as you are pregnant," Natalie acknowledged. As soon as Marty left, Natalie instantly regretted her harsh words. Brody assured Natalie that he understood what was motivating her bluntness. Tearing up, Natalie said that even if John did love Marty, she and John did share something special. Brody wondered if there was something he could do; Natalie promised to leave Marty alone.
Sitting at her desk, Marty was so tormented by Natalies words that she started throwing things around her office. Marty resisted the temptation to call John, then was surprised by Todds sudden appearance.
John protected Kelly from Rodney. Mrs. Stevens explained that Rodney had been there all his adult life, and hadn't spoken a word since he arrived. She added that she didn't think there was any proof that Melinda had died of anything but natural causes. John started to ask Rodney questions. Unsuccessful, he looked at Rodney's baseball cards and left his business card with him. John and Kelly left, but John believed Rodney knew something about what happened to Melinda.
Matthew predicted that Todd would soon be after faux Cole (Nate). Mr. G, the director, came in and said that some of the parents were concerned about the production; he wanted to meet with the leads. Starr relived Todd attacking Cole after they made love as she watched the scene recreated on the stage. Danielle had a hard time playing the scene, and thought that acting in the play could help her see some of the good Starr sees in Todd. Although, "Right now I hate him," Dani declared.
Langston relived, through flashbacks, some of the bad things that Todd had done to Markko. Starr flashed back to the time Todd pushed her down the stairs at the beach. "It brings it all back," Starr said as she was hugged by Langston. Nate asked Starr and Langston if they were scared with Todd still out there. Recalling some sweet moments with Markko, Langston started to cry.
Todd was stunned to see a bra-clad Hannah in Cole's apartment. "There's nothing going on here. We're just friends. Please stop," Hannah begged Starrs irate dad, who snarled that Cole was playing her for a fool. When Todd threatened to call Starr, Cole said go ahead, and accused Todd of losing it. Todd admitted he had never wanted Cole and Starr to live together, and snarkily offered to rent a room for Hannah and Cole. Cole reiterated that he and Hannah were just friends. When Todd vowed to get his daughter away from Cole, a furious Cole pushed Todd out of his house. Hannah blubbered that the ugly incident was all her fault, then fell into Cole's arms. Thats just when an unamused Starr entered the apartment.
Cris was asked to be a prom chaperone because all the girls wanted to see him in a tux. Jessica was thrilled when Cris wanted two tickets, only to learn Cris planned to bring Layla as his date. They hadn't followed through on their plans to make love when they went to the prom together years ago, said Cris, and they weren't going to be making love after this prom, either. Jessica bought one ticket.
I am glad Marty is telling Natalie what she thinks of her...I am tired of Natalie too lately...somebody give her another husband, a man that doesn't belong to another woman, and don't kill him off!
