One Life to Live 7/5/1990

Viki tries to calm Renee down after she sees thee photos of Asa and Betty on the cover of the Intruder. Asa arrives to defend himself and explains he was framed. He explains the scheme he and “Matt” had to bilk Dorian, giving her the motive for framing him with the photos. Max and Gabrielle celebrate their reunion and engagement. They ask Father Tony to perform their wedding, but he says he can’t do it. Gabrielle pleads with him to change his mind, and Tony agrees to think about it. Gabrielle worries Tony hasn’t forgiven her for turning away from the church and Max tells her that no matter who performs the ceremony, the important thing is that they will be tying the knot. Megan tells Marco she’s worried about the massacre that will ensue if anyone discovers Bo isn’t Whitey. Their conversation is cut short by the sound of an approaching boat. Megan tries to flag down the boat, but Marco says until they know who is on the boat, it isn’t safe. When the man who disembarks introduces himself as Frank Whitehead and demands to know why he wasn’t included in this summit, Marco tries to stall, but security arrives and drags Frank off to the main house to sort things out. Lucky meets Gloria and appears smitten with her and invites her to accompany him to the beach. Lucky spots Whitey’s boat and wonders if they can steal it to get off the island. He and Gloria are interrupted by Spring who is angry that Lucky left his dirty socks lying around. Gloria is surprised to find out out Lucky is “married” to Spring, and Lucky tries to play it off as a loveless marriage. She says she likes being with Lucky whether he’s married or not.

At the Intruder, Dorian and Max try to figure out how to keep their paper afloat. Tony asks the monsignor to transfer him to another parish. He tells his elder that he was asked to perform Max and Gabrielle’s wedding but refused. The monsignor is confused about his reasoning, and Tony admits he can’t perform the wedding because he is in love with Gabrielle himself. The monsignor reminds Tony of his vow of celibacy and counsels him on how to move past his feelings. Greg promises to sort out which Whitey is real and which is the imposter and vows that the fake will end up in a cement mixer. Bo and Whitey both advocate for themselves, and Bo suggests the other may be a federal agent trying to infiltrate their meeting. Marco manages to swipe Whitey’s wallet and when Greg asks for ID, Bo hands it over. Greg reads Frank Whitehead’s name off of card after card. Bo says they shouldn’t kill the imposter, because a body would invite a lot of questions and unexpected visitors to the island. Marco and Megan offer to use Whitey’s boat to take the “fake” back to the mainland where he came from.
Father Tony tells Gabrielle he has changed his mind and will perform the wedding. Lucky writes a note to Jake saying they are all in danger and asking him to come help. He ties the note to his pigeon’s foot and tells the bird to deliver it.
