    This is worth it, if only for the comments section. It seems some Salon readers need the concept of humor explained to them.

    Her imaginary self did something to her real baby? That's totally effed. My imaginary friends never treat me like that.

    @fulanita: Jess/Bess/Tess is in the psych ward at St. Anne's. If Jess emerges, she will find out that her baby died and Chloe is not hers but really Starr's, and then will Starr give the baby to Marcy and Michael, or will she keep it?


    This is embarrassing.

    That's Bess. She's the gatekeeper of Jessica Buchanen's multiple personalities. She cleans up the messes that Tess makes.
    Tess gave birth to her (Jessica's) baby, but the baby died so Bess emerged and stole Jessica's cousin Star's baby (born on the same day) and now Star thinks her baby dies. Neither Jess nor Tess know that the baby they have is Star's baby.

    @fulanita: Of course, you know that Marty is the woman Todd, Starr's father, gang raped in college. He has been holding Marty hostage for months, with plans to steal Starr's baby and raise the baby with Marty, who doesn't know who she is.


    Except now she does know, and the doctor Todd blackmailed committed suicide last week in dispair over her part in Todd's evil plot.


    Keep up, people!!

    Didn't they then have the two of them fall in love? That always bothered me ... that she would then fall in love with him.

    @Miss Smith Drank Your Vodka: Yes, she was raped by several members of Kevin Buchanan's fraternity after getting drunk (roofied?) at a party. Todd ended up in jail and that is how he got the scar on his face (if he still has that).

    I always thought of soap operas as the ultimate in mainstream, but they're downright avant-garde now. This is like a missing reel from a Bergman's Persona remake. And that fortune-telling crystal ball thing from the other day was a little surrealist masterpiece!
