Natalie and Brody's engagement makes a big splash in Llanview. What happens when John McBain finds out? The man was all set to tell Natalie he loves her; is he willing to fight for her? And there are fireworks aplenty when Natalie and Jessica have it out over the news -- this one gets ugly. And it's about to get uglier when Jessica stumbles upon proof that John is Liam's father, not Brody. The implications for Jessica are huge -- does she break Brody's heart and send Natalie into John's arms? Is she prepared to make her sister that happy?

Two big returns to Llanview this week, as tempestuous former lovers Cord and Tina both find themselves back in town. Cord finds himself caught up in BE drama with Clint and his newly-discovered-brother Rex. As for Tina, she heads right to see her dear sister Viki ... only she doesn't know that as she does, there's a woman threatening Viki's life. And that woman is Tina's own mother, Irene Manning! Oh, and don't worry, Tina definitely brought David Vickers the dog back with her.

Todd continues to try to prove his innocence -- an effort that sees some success when Tea finally believes him. Meanwhile, Starr is trying to get Jack to admit his eyewitness account is a lie. With the threat of Irene looming, Todd has one request for Starr: help him break out of prison!

So about Irene -- she's got a lot going on. When Victor's will is read this week, we find out that Irene inherits everything! But that's not the least of her reign of terror. She pulls a gun on at least two people this week ... and that's all before the bomb goes off.

All this, plus Shane and Rex each come clean about the secrets they've been hiding. How will Shane react to the news that Rex has been "seeing" his mom?

Which storyline are you most looking forward to this week?
