Tina meets with Henri (Lowry Miller) to discuss Viki’s dress, which he promises to have ready in time for the wedding tomorrow. Renee tells Tina she knows where Johnny is. She says Asa got word from the bank in South America where Johnny deposited a large pile of money. Tina is thrilled to learn Johnny is thousands of miles away. Renee has more good news: she got the digital medical file off for Dr. Farrow’s clinic computer. She says although the printed version is still missing, several other files are missing too and the receptionist is certain it’s just a clerical error. Alex requests to upgrade her room to a suite so she and Lisa Porter can stay together, but the desk clerk says there are no suites opening up until tomorrow. Bo, overhearing this, offers to let the two move into his house. Bo confides he’s likely to sell the house anyways, and he can give her a great deal. Alex thinks he shouldn’t move to new surroundings–running away from his memories of Sarah won’t help him as much as having a support system around him. Lisa meets up with Alex in the lobby. Alex tries to formally introduce Bo, but Lisa knows who he is; he’s the reason her father is in jail. Bo says that may be true, but he wouldn’t be there if he didn’t do something wrong. Charlotte begins to panic about losing her eyesight. Jake calls for help, and Megan comes into the room alongside a nurse. Larry brings in a specialist, Dr. Fowler, to examine her In the hall outside her room, Carlo and Jake argue about who is at fault for Charlotte’s concussion and blindness. Carlo orders Jake to cease all talk of divorce while Charlotte is recovering from this physical and emotional trauma. Jake says his marriage and divorce is none of Carlo’s business. Gabrielle tells Julia about Tina’s medical file and the magical mystery tour it completed from Asa’s desk, to Tina’s hands, to the floor of Llanfair, back into Gabrielle’s possession. Julia warns Gabrielle not to reveal Tina’s secret, asserting that Asa is likely to shoot the messenger. Gabrielle ignores her mother’s well-supported arguments and heads off to Llanfair to catch up with Asa.
Asa brings Tina an early wedding present: 5,000 shares in Buchanan Oil for her unborn child. Gabrielle arrives at Llanfair in time to hear Asa praising Tina for her transformation from her old, scheming ways. Tina shows the stock certificate to Gabrielle, and Asa says he can read her mind–he says Gabrielle wants him to give a similar gift to Al. He asks Gabrielle why she was trying to reach him earlier. Gabrielle, flustered, changes her mind and decides not to give Asa the medical file. Dr. Fowler says the blindness seems to be due to the emotional trauma Charlotte experienced. The doctor says there’s no timetable for recovery–it could be a day, a week, or longer. Charlotte is scared and begs Jake not to leave her bedside. Sheila delivers bad news: Viki can barely stand, let alone walk. Gabrielle says Viki could still be Matron of Honor from her wheelchair, but Sheila isn’t sure she’ll want to if she can’t walk Tina down the aisle. Tina says she doesn’t have anyone else she can ask, though Gabrielle says they have been close at times. Sheila excuses herself from the awkward conversation. Tina says she just doesn’t feel comfortable asking Gabrielle, then she leaves to meet Cord. After Tina departs, Gabrielle muses that if she gives the medical file to Asa there won’t be any need for a matron of honor, or for that matter, a wedding tomorrow. After Lisa goes to bed, Alex suggests a solution to Bo’s housing problem: keep the house, don’t leave town, but live here at the Palace Hotel. Bo likes the idea of being around family. Bo convinces Alex to come to Cord and Tina’s wedding with him, though he’s already accepted the invitation on her behalf. Megan looks through Sarah’s books to see if it’s possible Charlotte could be faking the blindness. When Jake gets home, Megan runs her theory by Jake: Charlotte could be faking the blindness–possibly with Carlo’s help. She tells Jake about how Austin Buchanan once fooled Sarah into thinking he was blind so he could get close to her, and she sets out to prove that Charlotte is doing the same thing to keep Jake stuck in their marriage.
