Todd asks Marty to help him raise his grandchild (actually their grandchild) this week, which begs the question: What in the world's going on here?

"He tells Marty: My daughter has agreed to let me raise the child," sets up head writer Ron Carlivati.

"Initially she's like,'Are you kidding?' She doesn't know he's lying about everything," explains Susan Haskell (Marty). "She says, 'I can't even walk and you are asking me to help you raise a child.' But as time goes on, she does want to help him because he's been so good to her. On an emotional level, bringing a child into the picture gives you a focus. It's the idea of having a purpose."

Meanwhile, Todd crashes Starr's Lamaze class and uses that forum -- Starr, Blair and Marcie are all there -- to apologize and declare that he's becoming a better person. "Starr believes him 10 times more than I could, because Starr is so close to Todd," admits Kristen Alderson (Starr). "Those are the exact words that she has been dying for Todd to say to her. They are a dream come true."

Too bad Todd doesn't mean a word he's saying to Starr or Marty.

"He is lying through his teeth," confirms Trevor St. John (Todd). "Just bald-faced lies. It's great stuff."
