Blair opens the door to Starr's bedroom, turns on the light and finds Starr sitting up in bed.

Blair: Oh, honey, I'm sorry did I wake you up?
Starr: No. I was already awake.
Blair: Well, what's wrong, sweetheart, you having trouble sleeping?
Starr: No. I was talking to Daddy.

Blair sees Fred the Magic Frog nearby and picks him up.

Blair: You mean Fred the Magic Frog, right? Daddy told you to talk to him when you miss him? Hm?

Suddenly Todd steps out of his hiding place, much to Blair's shock.

Todd: Why would she talk to a stuffed animal when she can talk to me?

--end scene--

Blair: Get out, Todd.
Todd: I just got here.

Blair looks at Starr and tries to remain calm.

Blair: Starr, sweetie, Nigel is baking all kinds of goodies for tomorrow and I know he's going to want YOU to do the taste test!
Starr: Chocolate chip cookies?
Blair: Yeah, I think so!
Starr: But I already brushed my teeth.
Blair: Oh, well, you know what, you can brush 'em again! Why don't you go down there, and hurry before he eats them all.
Starr: Daddy, you want me to bring you up one?
Blair: No, he doesn't. And don't tell anyone that Daddy's here, okay?
Starr: Okay.
Blair: Okay, thanks.

Starr leaves the room and Blair, furious, turns on Todd.

Blair: What the hell are you doing here, Todd??
Todd: Visiting my daughter.
Blair: Well, you know what, if the cops find out that you're here, they're probably going to throw you in jail.
Todd: Please, the cops couldn't catch a cold.
Blair: Oh, don't be so sure about that.
Todd: I have a right to visit Starr.
Blair: Well, you know what, next time why don't you call like a normal person?
Todd: Oh, "like a normal person."
Blair: Yeah, well, someone pretending to be normal. Now, get out!
Todd: So how's Max?
Blair: I love Max.
Todd: Wouldn't know it from the way you guys looked together at the club in Ohio.
Blair: Well, we've made up since then.
Todd: So you got a plan for Max.
Blair: It doesn't concern you.
Todd: It DOES concern me, because Sam thinks that Max has some kind of a secret. So I want to know. Does Max have a secret? 'Cause if he does, you're going to tell me what it is.

--end scene--

Blair: I don't know what you're talking about.
Todd: I'm talking about Max. He's got some kind of a secret, I want to know what it is.
Blair: If Max has a secret -- which he doesn't -- why would you help Sam find out what it is?
Todd: Well, I care about what happens to Sam.
Blair: Oh, you don't care about anybody but yourself, Todd!
Todd: I used to care about you.
Blair: (grudgingly) In your own way.
Todd: It was kind of fun.
Blair: And now you care about Sam.
Todd: Sam's going to help me with all my legal trouble.
Blair: Really? Even after the way you messed with him before you left town the last time?
Todd: I'm sure Sam will forgive me.
Blair: I know what you're doing. You're helping him so he'll represent you, huh?
Todd: That's right. From now on, Sam gets whatever he wants: Max's secret, his son's freedom, even the love of his life back.
Blair: The love of his life is dead, Todd.
Todd: Things change.
Blair: Dead is dead, Todd.
Todd: Is it?
Blair: (exasperated) Oh come -- what are you trying to say? Whatever you want to say, just spit it out, would ya'?

Suddenly the door starts to open. Max pops his head in.

Max: Blair, who were you talking to?

Blair, startled, turns to face Max.

--end scene--

Blair looks back around to see Todd, but he's fallen down behind Starr's bed. Max has no idea that he's there.

Max: Who were you talking to?
Blair: Um --
Max: And where's Starr?
Blair: Uh, Starr -- she went down to the kitchen. Nigel has got some cookies for her.
Max: Oh, good idea, that sugar ought to put her right out.

Blair, moving around the room distractedly and avoiding Max's eyes, doesn't seem to hear him.

Blair: Um, what did you say?
Max: Is there something wrong?
Blair: No, I'm just -- I'm just waiting up here for Starr to get back, and then I'm going to tuck her in.
Max: Oh. You still haven't answered my question. Who were you talking to?
Blair: I -- was talking to Todd.

--end scene--

Max: You were talking to Todd?
Blair: Well, really, it was Fred the Magic Frog. Starr thinks if you talk to this stupid frog, Todd hears it.
Max: And if you kiss it, does it turn into a prince?
Blair: (sighs) Hardly.
Max: And what were you telling this frog?
Blair: That I love my husband and I am so happy that I am married to him.

She and Max kiss.

Blair: And I thought just on this off chance that Starr could be right, that Todd should know that.
Max: You're a kook.
Blair: (laughs) And what's wrong with kooks, Max?
Max: Well, nothing, as long as our baby takes after me.

At the mention of the baby, Blair tenses slightly.

Blair: You know what, let's just not get into that right now, okay?
Max: Well, uh, au contraire, I believe we have a date in our bedroom to work on making the new Buchanan.
Blair: You know what, I'll be right there. Let me just wait for Starr to get back, I'll tuck her in, and I'll be right there, okay?

She and Max kiss again.

Max: I'll be the one under the covers.
Blair: Okay.

Max leaves the room and Todd jumps up from his hiding place.

Todd: You're having a BABY??
Blair: It's none of your business!
Todd: (sputtering) It's definitely my business!

--end scene--

Todd: Nobody told you that you could have a baby!
Blair: Oh, butt out, Todd.
Todd: You're going to grow a Buchanan and he's going to be Starr's step-brother??
Blair: So what??
Todd: So I -- I don't like the idea.
Blair: Well, I don't care if you dont like it! It doesn't matter anyway, because I'm not going to have a Buchanan baby, because I'm on the pill, and I don't miss it!

Todd, hearing this, is somewhat mollified.

Todd: So you have some kind of a plan.
Blair: Yeah, I got a plan, and I'm not telling you what it is!
Todd: Fine, I won't tell you mine.
Blair: You got a plan, too?
Todd: Always.
Blair: Oh really. Let me guess, you're gonna raise Nora from the dead.
Todd: Come on, Blair. Nobody's THAT good.
