Liveblogging "As The World Turns": The truth is out there

This episode promises a new twist in the Moah relationship, but we're more intrigued with what our intrepid investigative reporter Ed Kennedy found.

Yes, that is Jude Law wearing a scarf. And not just any scarf. It looks remarkably like a Mason Jarvis scarf.

What's going on here? Is Jude Law the leader of some bizarre new Hollywood cult? OMG, is that why they lured sweet, innocent Noah out to Hollywood, so he could be brainwashed into joining? But don't you need a brain for that? (j/k! I love Noah!).

While we investigate, enjoy today's liveblog, and refresh for breaking updates!

2:05PM EST: Damian wants to plant a tree in honor of Holden (and I'm sure he'll be happy to personally keep it ... watered). Lily tries to pooh-pooh it, but Luke is all for it, and wants to invite Noah.

Oh dear ... James Stenbeck is dead. So how many times is this? *sigh*

2:10PM EST: Luke and Noah are walking down the park path (to the sounds of a lilting guitar strumming Melancholy Lovers) when Mason rides by waving hello. We then cut to "Mason" riding into a fence and falling onto the ground. He grimaces as Luke is this far away from saying "bitch please".

2:20PM EST: This Holden vs. The Bumpkins storyline just keeps spinning in circles. He definitely gets an "F" in Escape Attempts 101.

Mason is injured, and needs to go to the hospital, so ... Luke recommends that Noah take him and stay there with him. Noah says "but the tree!", but Luke insists. Noah says okay, but he'll be back at the tree planting in an hour

Luke has to convince Faith to go along with the planting (she's against it on Damian principle), but i'm too distracted by how bizarre Van's hair looks.

2:30PM EST: Okay, I take that back. It's not just Van, It's all the guys today. Noah helps Mason take his shirt off at the hospital, and his hair momentarily explodes outward until it settles back into its usual Marilyn Quayle look.

Noah makes a hasty exit after that awkward moment, and makes it to the planting just in time. They dedicate the tree (which, since it's dedicated to Holden, should have been a fir tree), as the rain machine the show rented for a few hours starts up overhead.

2:40PM EST: Everyone starts saying nice things to the tree, which instantly brings back horrific memories of Mark Wahlberg trying to reason with a plastic plant in The Happening.

Noah returns to the hospital to find Mason about to leave. He says his shoulder is sprained, and he'll be okay, but there are "certain things" he'll need help doing. Noah says "A friend in need!" Oh, Noah. Meanwhile, to Mason's dismay, Luke shows up.

2:50PM EST: Luke and Noah ask Mason if there's anything they can do, and he says "No, I called a cab. I'm fine", and they respond with "well, then we hot young lovers are going to head off arm-in-arm while you wallow in your loneliness. Ciao!".

Preview Time: That's it for Oakdale this week. We'll be back in Llanview tomorrow.
