However, when Todd refuses to budge on the issue, Blair makes herself comfortable and informs Todd that, as long as the kids are living there, so will she. John and Marty reminisce about old times as they lay in bed together. Although the night is uneventful, their feelings for one another are clearly visible. On Tuesday, May 5, Cole informs Rachel that Starr has been his rock. Later, they head for the hospital to talk to Kyle about the DNA results, but not before Starr makes amends with Schuyler. Kyle delivers heartbreaking, yet confusing news to Starr and Cole about their baby, leaving a devastated Starr pondering whose hair is in her locket. Putting two and two together, Kyle soon blackmails Natalie and Jared. Blair and Jack see a different side of Téa on Thursday, May 7, when the ruthless lawyer inadvertently flashes them.
