Daytime Soap Opera Short Recaps

Recap written by Michelle & Cheryl
Smitty tried to talk to Martin about the conversation they had before but Martin pretended to have a call to get out of it. When Samantha was on her way out, Martin stopped her. He wanted to know where she was going. Samantha said she wasn’t going to be friends with a chess-playing stranger like Tyrell. Martin didn’t find her joke funny. Samantha told him to go easy on Tyrell. She said she understood that he wanted to protect his children, but he couldn’t hold them prisoner until they were 30. After Samantha left, Malone showed up and said he knew about Kenneth playing chess with his son. He told Martin it wouldn’t happen again. Martin told him he would pay for police protection as long as his family didn’t find out the truth. Jacob waited for Smitty to meet him at Orphey Gene’s, but Kat was the one who showed up. She wanted to know how long it was going to take to put Leslie in prison. Jacob said he didn’t like her acting like an unofficial police officer. He told her what was going on with the case. Jacob said they confirmed that Leslie was the owner of the helmet worn by the person who ran Laura off the road, but they had to prove Leslie was wearing the helmet at the time. Kat ended up leaving. Smitty showed up to meet Jacob.
Smitty told Jacob that he thought Martin was a victim but questioned if he was wrong. Jacob said Martin should consider getting a lawyer. He told Smitty that as a man of the law, he would have to pursue Martin if he was guilty. Smitty wondered if the same thing applied to his father. Jacob said his father wasn’t exempt either. While they were talking, Jacob got a call about Marcel providing protection for Martin which upset Smitty. He told Jacob that Martin was working with Malone and was lying in his face. Jacob told him to make Martin come clean. Martin went to the park and saw Samantha with Kenneth. In Chicago, the Articulettes were getting along until Anita wanted to spice up their choreography. Sharon thought Anita was trying to change things the way she did before. Anita said she wasn’t getting rid of the past. She said bringing something new to their routine would make the moves classic. Sharon shot down Anita’s ideas. She let Anita know that the three of them were equals and that Anita didn’t call the shots. Sharon said they could do the reunion without her. Anita wanted Tracey to convince Sharon to do the moves, but Tracey said she couldn’t do it. She told Tracey that she always has to agree with Sharon and that she was always the villain. Tracey said things didn’t change because she always thought she was the only smart and talented one in the group. When Sharon came back, she told Anita that she always thought she knew best because she had money. Anita said she could get her checkbook and agree to everything so she could go home. She told them to do the concert without her. While they were talking, Anita blamed herself for what happened between them. She said if she didn’t follow Dante or go solo they could all be EGOTs. Anita said they would never know since they couldn’t turn back time. She said she hoped they could make up for lost time, but they couldn’t. Anita said they could do the show without her. She said she was heartbroken that they couldn’t do this for Barbara and kicked them out of her hotel.
