by Carol Banks Weber

Olivia probably wishes she could just turn off her psychic powers, as theyre increasingly landing her in hot water.
Olivias psychic premonitions prove to be eerily accurate, one right after the other. The next one involves Heather.
The timing couldnt be worse. But Jason cant stall any longer with Sam. He is the one to release the info that hes been investigating the possibility that her baby was switched.
As Sams eyes widen with comprehension and joy, Jason confirms that he got proof of the baby switch.
The sinking feeling of dismay replaces joy and hope when Jason then has to report to Sam that her baby was just kidnapped by Heather.

Jason and Sam do the cajoling of their lifetime to break Heather down and get to their baby.

Nobody thinks to inform Téa that the baby she believes is Victor Jr.
isnt. All she knows is that the nutty nanny took off with her baby.
Todd means to talk to Téa before shes enlightened any further.
Even when Todd reaches Téa, its ultimately to do damage control, not relieve her of the lies. Wanting to do right by her and doing right are two different animals.
Todd does right by Téa in the end, breaking her heart about the baby she thought survived birth but didnt.
Todd and John McBain each offer as much kindness, understanding, and emotional propping as Téa needs right now.
