All My Children Recaps
AMC Week of August 10, 2009
Monday
Annie wanted to tell Emma that she was engaged to Adam. Ryan reminded her that there was to be no contact between Ryan/Emma and Annie, per the judge’s order. Ryan added that he'd send his condolences to Adam. Ryan said he wouldn’t bring Emma anywhere near Annie’s wedding. "I can't trust you after everything you've pulled," Ryan told her. Scott entered the room and told Ryan it was time for him to leave. Scott vowed to make sure Ryan stayed away. Scott asked what Ryan's visit was about. Scott thought perhaps Adam and his lawyers could help Annie get Emma back.
Annie was grateful that Scott stood up for her. Scott confessed it was bad that he was always thought of as being one the good guys. "The girls always go to the bad guys," he lamented. Annie suggested that Scott go to the hospital and tell Marissa how he felt about her. Scott thought Marissa was more interested in JR than in him. Annie said that was ridiculous, and that Scott would be a far better catch. Annie said Scott should fight for her. Scott gave Annie a hug as Adam walked in. Adam lied to them and said he was at the yacht club on business.
In reality, Adam had gone to find Dr. Joe at Pine Valley Hospital. "This is personal," he told the attending physician, asking for Joe. JR ran into his father and asked what he was doing at the hospital. Adam said it was a routine appointment, despite JR's attempts to make something more of it. JR reported that Marissa was very lucky. "The bullet missed her heart," he said, asking Adam again if he was okay. Joe arrived and Adam admitted to him in private that, "I think I have a small problem." Joe examined Adam. "I just want to make sure that everything is working well," Adam told him.
Joe had to take care of an emergency, and handed Adam’s chart to David. Adam told Joe that he was remarrying a much younger woman…but David was listening instead. Adam asked for some "stamina insurance." David wrote Adam a prescription, then revealed himself. Adam was wary of taking a prescription from David. David assured him it would come in a sealed bottle. Then, with a derisive laugh, he said to Adam, "Go get ’em, tiger."
At Zach’s house, Erica tried to get some help for Zach and the boys. Zach told her he didn’t need it, that he wanted normalcy for his sons. Erica insisted that they needed to assure Kendall they were working to get her out of prison. Liza showed up and Erica left.
Erica charged into Ryan's house. She told him that Zach needed help, "but he wouldn’t listen." She begged him to get involved. "There's nothing I can do," Ryan said, adding that he’d already gotten between Zach and Kendall one too many times. Erica reminded Ryan that Zach was isolating himself with two little boys, one of which was Ryan's son. Ryan ran over to Zach's house, demanding his son. Spike was asleep. Zach insisted that Kendall wanted their focus on the kids. He told Ryan to listen to what Kendall wanted, not what Erica told him. Zach also asked Ryan to call first before dropping in. Ryan left.
Liza had a few ideas for Zach and the appeal. Zach told her that he couldn't work on the appeal — he needed to focus on the boys. Liza wondered what that meant for Kendall.
Marissa woke up to find JR beside her hospital bed. JR brought her up to speed on how Jake found the bullet and successfully removed it. JR apologized for being a jerk. JR went to call Colby, who was taking care of little Adam.
David and Krystal chatted at the hospital. David thought JR was taking advantage of Marissa's condition, and Krystal reminded him that she was a grown girl. "Just let her make up her own mind about this," Krystal begged. She added that JR wasn't a monster. JR reported to David and Krystal that Marissa was okay, but tired.
David vowed to Krystal that Marissa is "all I care about." He then asked Marissa to stay away from JR. Marissa confessed to Krystal that she thought David was too intense. "I don't like what I see at all," she admitted sadly, since she saw a lot of herself in him. Krystal pointed out that David always turned his intensity into obsession, and that’s where they differed. In the hallway, David tried to make a deal with JR: He'd stay away from little Adam if JR stayed away from Marissa. Scott paid Marissa a visit and gave her a big kiss, a kiss that David saw.
Erica and Liza showed up at the prison. Liza shared that Zack was keeping his distance from Kendall. "Why would Zach do this?" Erica wondered. The guard told Erica that Kendall was refusing to see anyone. Erica sent a note to Kendall.
Ryan apologized to Emma for not believing her story about what happened the night of Stuart’s murder. Emma ran to her room, picked up her secret phone and called Annie. She asked her mother whether if — since Emma didn’t have to talk to the judge and Kendall was put away — she could "stop lying to daddy now?"
Tuesday
Scott entered Marissa's hospital room and planted a big kiss on her as David
observed from the hallway. Scott could tell that Marissa just wasn't that
into him, even though she tried to deny it. David went to ConFusion and sat
down next to Scott and thanked him for visiting Marissa. Scott asked David
for tips in becoming darker, like David is. David cautioned him that being a
bad guy would ensure that Scott ends up alone.
Annie talked to Emma on her cell phone and told her to forget what she had
really seen on the night of Stuart's murder. Adam walked in and asked Annie
who she was talking to. Likewise, Ryan nabbed Emma on the phone and asked
her who she was speaking with. Jesse entered and Emma ran off. Jesse reeled
when Ryan told him about Annie's engagement. They discussed Annie's calls to
Emma.
At the Chandlers', Adam reminded Annie that she needs to cease contact with
Emma. Dr. Nolan came by for a session with Annie. Annie told the doc about
her engagement. Jesse showed up and told Adam about Annie violating the
court order by calling Emma. Adam warned Jesse that he wouldn't let Ryan
take Emma away from Annie. The shrink indicated that Annie would be declared
competent to stand trial; she and Adam celebrated as a bemused Jesse looked
on. Later, Adam popped a bottle of champagne and had another memory of the
night of Stuart's murder. Adam didn't share his memory with Annie. Scott
returned home and, in front of Annie, went for a skinny dip.
Erica delivered a letter to Kendall to the jail and lashed out at Liza for
not stopping Kendall from confessing. The guard delivered the letter to
Kendall, who was actually a Kendall lookalike. The real Kendall was in a
safe room at the Slater house, where Zach embraced her and welcomed her
home. Kendall recalled everything she could about what had happened at the
courthouse after Zach let her know that Jesse had colluded with him on her
escape plan. Zach explained that a lookalike was in jail, posing as her.
Kendall was flabbergasted.... Erica tried to fire Liza but Liza reminded her
that Zach had hired her.
Liza went to visit Marissa. They discussed what had become of Kendall's
case. Liza then went to discuss Kendall with Zach, who left the secret room
to meet with her. Kendall's attitude toward the secret room changed when she
listened to Spike via Intercom. Zach got rid of Liza as quickly as possible
and rejoined Kendall, who agreed to stay in the room so long as she got to
see her boys. Kendall shared a happy reunion with her sons.... When Liza
returned to Marissa's room, Marissa called her out on her feelings for Zach,
which Liza copped to. Later, David surprised Liza at her door and pulled her
into a kiss.
Erica went to see Ryan and told him that Kendall refused to see her. Erica
begged Ryan to help Kendall but he refused, explaining that Zach and
Kendall's business was their own. After Erica left, Ryan watched some TV,
then called Erica, who was watching the same movie in her bed (although Ryan
was watching the remake). He apologized for his behavior earlier; she told
him that there was no need. After they hung up, they continued to think
about each other.
Wednesday
After taking a skinny-dip in Annie's presence, Scott pulled his stepaunt-to-be into a steamy kiss but ultimately regained his pants (which she had taken from him) and bolted. Annie smiled to herself, then realized that Adam's video camera had taped the buss.
JR visited Marissa in her hospital room. She vented about how David was
breathing down her neck. She admitted that David had warned her not to get
involved with JR. Recalling the deal that David had offered him, JR had to
work a bit to convince Marissa that he didn't agree with David. JR returned home
and saw Annie reviewing the footage of her kiss with Scott. Annie showed him
that the tape showed JR kissing her, as well. Annie told them that she was
keeping the footage as leverage (as the boys were the ones who initiated the
kisses).... JR and Scott discussed what had motivated them to kiss Annie. JR
told Scott about David's offer and Scott couldn't believe that JR was
considering it.... Alone, Annie reviewed the footage of Scott with a grin on
her face.
David showed up at Liza's and kissed her passionately. She accused him of
still being after her baby, which he denied. After Liza got personal by
referencing his relationship with Krystal, he accused her of refusing to let
a man make her happy and walked out. He went back to Marissa's room and
reiterated his verbal evisceration of JR. He informed his daughter that he
had offered to stay away from Little A in exchange for JR staying away from
Marissa and that JR was mulling the idea over.
Kendall played with her sons and told Zach that she would remain in the
secret room. He was pleased and vowed to clear her name by proving that
Annie killed Stuart. But when he brought her back there and she realized he
was serious about her never leaving the room, she had to steel herself.
Kendall made Zach lie down on the bed with her and requested to sleep in his
room, instead. Zach said it was too dangerous. Kendall called Zach out about
being unable to forgive her for cheating with Ryan. He confirmed her suspicion.
Jesse surprised Kendall with an unexpected visit and chastised her for
having left the room to explore the noise Jesse made. Kendall asked Jesse to
explain why he was risking his career to help her. Later, alone in her bed,
Kendall had flashbacks of her romance with Zach. She put her hand to the
door of the secret room; Zach did the same from the exterior of the room.
Zach went to the casino and met with Francesca, who was concerned about
money that had gone missing from the casino coffers. Zach was blas and told
Francesca to be, too. He said he intended to get a loan from his enemy.
"Which one?" queried an arriving Liza. Zach told her that he was going to go
to Adam for a loan. Liza was thrown when Francesca told her how much money
was involved.
JR returned to Marissa's room and she became very upset, thinking he was
there to end things with her in order to adhere to David's proposed terms
regarding Little Adam. She tossed him out, then wept in her hospital bed. JR
felt awful.
Thursday
Frankie had difficulties getting his keys from his pocket with the brace on
his hand. However, he managed to open the door and saw Randi crying. "I lost
my baby," she whispered. Frankie suggested that Randi seek counseling. She
refused, adding that she that didn't want to try to get pregnant again right
away. Frankie turned the tables on her and said, "You have a secret with my
father, and I want to know what it is." She denied the accusation and left.
At the casino, Jesse watched Madison demand to gamble, despite the fact she
had no money. The manager told Jesse they weren't going to front her just
because she said she's good for it. Jesse was furious about being summoned
for the matter. Mrs. North threatened to expose his daughter-in-law if
Jesse didn't assist her, but Jesse was called away on a security matter.
An investigator came to the hospital to talk to Angie about North's autopsy.
She suggested they go somewhere and talk, as David eavesdropped. The
investigator said that if North was dead before his car went off the cliff,
a murder investigation would be launched. Angie saw David; he asked who
Angie was trying to railroad this time.
Taylor was nervous about giving back Trevor, as Tad packed up the baby's
belongings. "I'm not sure I can say good-bye," she confessed. Opal told
Taylor that she would be fine and they were doing what was best for the
baby. Tad reminded Taylor that she would be stuck with him, though. Taylor
assured Tad she'd be a good soldier and move on. Tad replied, "I've
been waiting a long time for you," and kissed her.
Amanda told Jake there was something he needed to know. "Opal found out
about Trevor," she revealed. Jake was not pleased. Amanda said they have a new
plan: Tad and Taylor would drop the baby near the church. Opal would find
him and call social services. The kid would get into foster care and Amanda
and Jake would legally adopt him. Jake was hesitant but Amanda assured him
that if they went forward that night, it would all be over soon. Jake
reluctantly agreed. Amanda and Opal were thrilled. The couple went to
Tad's, where Jake gave his brother a hard time about almost blowing the
baby's cover. Amanda thanked Taylor for taking such good care of the baby.
Taylor asked if she could visit the baby. "Of course," Amanda replied.
At the casino, Madison called Tad, while Frankie showed up looking for
Jesse. She stumbled into Frankie's arms and asked him to join her
gambling. Frankie declined the offer, then she asked him for cash. Frankie
bumped into his father and demanded to know what he and Randi were hiding.
Jesse told his son to go home and take care of his wife. Frankie left.
Madison came up to Jesse and informed him that the PVPD had reopened their
investigation of North's death and because of that, she wasn't getting her
insurance payout. Jesse realized Angie had something to do with the case
being re-opened.
Randi went to to the hospital and told Angie to butt out of her business.
Angie knew she was keeping a secret with Jesse. "Don't worry, I'll be sure
to keep my distance," Randi huffed. Randi then bumped into Opal, who told
her that she knows what it's like to lose a child. Opal advised Randi that
as hard as it is, she needs to move on. Opal offered to read Randi's palm.
Opal said she saw death but the fog was lifting and something good was
coming her way. After Randi left, Opal prepared to head to the alley to
enact the plan. However, Joe bumped into Opal and demanded that she have an
exam to check her heart.
Jake and Amanda returned to the hospital so David would see them. They
staged a fight for David's benefit about not being able to have kids. Amanda
then saw Opal was still at PVH, and stormed off. Afterward, David suggested
that Jake consider adoption.
Frankie met with his mother and they compared notes about Jesse and Randi.
Angie wondered what her husband was hiding. Frankie questioned if Randi had
anything to do with North's death. Angie said it was time they got some
answers.
Taylor and Tad left the baby in the alley. Taylor said she had a bad feeling
about this. They hid around the corner and heard footsteps. "Right on time,"
noted Tad. Just then, Amanda called Tad, told him that Opal was still at
the hospital and ordered him not to leave the baby in the alley. When Tad
and Taylor turned the corner, Trevor was gone.
Friday
Erica went to Ryan's for a business meeting. She was distracted by his shirtless pull-ups. Ryan told an overworked Erica that he would handle their meeting with the Lacey's execs. Ryan went to ConFusion for said meeting and Erica surprised them by showing up. Ryan was impressed by Erica's ability to charm the businessman and she ended up getting them a better deal than they had even imagined possible. Erica opened up to Ryan about her dwindling enchantment with NEW BEGINNINGS. Ryan requested a special song for Erica and they shared a romantic dance.
At the hospital, Jake blasted David for giving him advice about handling Amanda. Meanwhile, Tad and Taylor were at the church. Amanda called to warn him that Opal had been detained at the hospital by Joe. Tad freaked because he realized that someone else at taken the baby. Amanda told Jake that someone had taken their son while Tad and Taylor confirmed that the baby was missing. Opal freaked while Tad called Jake to say that there was no sign of
Trevor. Jake and Amanda got to the church and brainstormed with Tad and Taylor about how to handle Trevor's disappearance. Amanda thought that David had the baby. They split up to search for the boy. Taylor met a woman who had Trevor's sock, but she bolted.... At the hospital, David examined Opal and her heart rate shot up when he mentioned Jake and Amanda.... Tad and Jake broke into Wildwind looking for clues. They discovered that David had been making calls to Gloucester, Massachusetts. Amanda went to the hospital to retrieve Opal. When David left the room, Amanda told Opal that Trevor was still missing. David approached Amanda and she lashed out at him, piquing his curiosity. Amanda told Jake she was certain that David had the baby while Tad broke the bad news to Taylor that the info she had received from the homeless woman was meaningless.
At the casino, Jesse ordered Madison to stay out of his family's life. Frank then approached Madison and he resisted her advances; she then kept on gambling.
Jesse met Angie at ConFusion and she asked him if he had killed North to protect Randi. He denied it but she continued to press for an explanation as to what he was hiding. Jesse begged Angie to drop the matter but she passionately stated that the secrets were ruining their family.
It was revealed that it is Randi who has baby Trevor.
