All My Children Recaps

AMC Week of February 15, 2010

Monday

At the Chandler mansion, Annie vented to Adam and Scott that David was marrying a mystery woman and they hadn't been invited. Realizing that they didn't care, Annie slipped out of the mansion by herself.

Jack ran into the Wildwind chapel bellowing, "What are you doing?" Greenlee lifted her veil and responded, "I'm getting married, Dad." As everyone gasped in shock at the sight of Greenlee, Ryan entered and tried to process what he was seeing. Greens resisted his attempt to reach out to her and coldly informed him that David was taking care of her. Ryan struggled to understand why she was marrying David. Tad accused David of drugging Greenlee. As fists began to fly, Jesse intervened and decided to question David. Jack followed Jesse and David, advocating that Jesse arrest David. Jesse asked David if Greenlee was behind the attack on Fusion. David noted that if Greens had sabotaged her own company, she was within her rights to do so. David turned to rejoin Greenlee and was confronted by Krystal. The wedding guests tried to coax Greenlee out of marrying David but she insisted that she knew exactly who he was. The guests began to clear out as Ryan asked for some time alone with Greens. Ryan pleaded with Greenlee to realize that she belonged with him, not David. Just then, Annie entered and was stunned to see her old nemesis. The women traded insults before Ryan escorted Annie out. To Ryan, Annie smirked that it looked as though Greenlee had moved on with her life without him. Ryan replied that he knew that Annie was privately freaking out over Greenlee's return. Back at the chapel, David tried to console Greenlee, who was shaken up by how the wedding had shaken out but said that she still wanted to marry Hayward. Ryan returned and David agreed to give them some time alone. Ryan asked Greenlee to marry him that very night as Erica held Jack back from interrupting the lovers' conversation. Erica brought Jack to ConFusion and realized that he had already known that his daughter was alive. Alone at Wildwind, David sipped champagne.

At the Chandlers', Scott and Adam realized that Annie had gone to the chapel. Just then, she returned home and reported to the men that Greenlee was alive. Her upset was obvious, so Annie tried to assure Adam that she was over that time in her life.

Marissa and JR returned home and she observed that he was clearly in pain. At the Martin house, Tad, Liza, Amanda, Jake and Opal discussed the events at the chapel. Liza believed that Greenlee was responsible for the sabotage of Fusion. Jake told the group that David nursing Greenlee back to health truly was a miracle.

Tuesday

Colby, Adam and Scott reeled from Annie's news about Greenlee being alive and poised to marry David. Colby seethed as Annie insisted that Greenlee's comeback means nothing to her. After Adam met with an L.A. official, he received a fax from the hospital with JR's lab results. Meanwhile, Annie tried to shake off thoughts about her history with Greenlee. After chatting with Annie, Scott talked to Colby, who was pumped at the prospect of Greenlee's return being Annie's mental undoing. Scott was disgusted with his cousin for wishing a breakdown on her stepmom. Thoughts of Greenlee continued to invade Annie's mind. When Annie said "Greenlee" instead of "green tea," Scott got the sense that maybe Annie was more flustered than she purported to be.... Colby called Oak Haven.

Jake tried to support Angie as she faced a possible strike by the hospital's janitorial staff. Angie tersely told Jake that she had handled the situation. When he pressed her, she tearfully said he didn't want to know what she'd done.

At the hospital, Marissa tried to cheer up an irritable JR. His doctor entered and broke the news that the chemo wasn't working; he needed a bone marrow transplant. Back at home, JR asked Marissa to look at the situation realistically; he felt that they needed to prepare themselves for the worst. JR began to cry as he looked at a picture of his son. Adam showed up at his door. Adam insisted that he would find a bone marrow donor for JR. JR said that he would handle things his own way. Adam refused to let the matter go over JR's protests. "I will not let you die," he cried, his voice breaking.

Jesse showed up at Wildwind with a search warrant. Jesse came up empty-handed but traded threats with David. He went to the hospital; Angie said that she'd see him later. When Angie returned to her office, David was sitting in her chair with a huge grin on his face. He called her out on having used information he gave her to blackmail the union into not going on strike. "Welcome to the dark side," he smirked. David made it clear that he was angling to get his job back. Angie made it equally clear that she wouldn't let her position go without a fight. David said that he had her on tape strongarming the union chief. After David left, Angie broke down crying in front of Jake, who swore that he would help her. "I'm going to resign," she informed Jake.

Greenlee tried not to seem affected when Ryan declared his love. "Marry me tonight," he said. She said no and tried to leave but he pulled her into a kiss. When he claimed not to understand her resistance, she snapped, "You didn't wait!" She accused him of betraying her memory by letting Erica into Fusion. She confirmed that she had been behind the Fusion sabotage, that she knew about his involvement with Kendall and about his relationship with Erica. He said that he'd made a mistake but that nothing compared to his love for her. When she let it slip that she'd put together the romantic dinner he'd found at his penthouse, he realized that she hadn't come back to marry David: "You came back for me." She tried to deny it but Ryan didn't buy it.

Wednesday

Erica spoke to a journalist about Greenlee's return and its affect on Fusion. She excused herself to take a call from Jack.

At ConFusion, Jesse opened up to Tad about his troubles with Angie. Ryan entered and told the men that she wasn't going to give up on Greenlee. Erica joined then briefly, then excused herself. Ryan followed her and Erica apologized to him for complicating his reunion with Greenlee; he said there was nothing to forgive. Erica bumped into L.A.'s mayor and they exchanged pleasantries. Jack then phoned to say he had to cancel their dinner due to work; they rescheduled for the morning.... Tad gave Jesse a pep talk about Angie.

At the hospital, Jake tried to dissuade Angie from resigning as Chief of Staff. Angie was upset to realize that all along, David had just been giving her enough rope to hang herself. She told Jake about how David was blackmailing her. Jake was livid and vowed never to let David hurt any of his loved ones again. Jake went to ConFusion and told Tad what was up. Ryan approached them with a plan to best David. Jesse came to Angie's office with dinner for her. Angie told her husband that she planned to resign and asked him to go.

David and Greenlee reunited at Wildwind. She reported that Ryan had proposed to her and that she was no longer sure what she wanted. Ryan showed up, but by then, Greenlee was gone. At Fusion, she was at work on the computer when Erica stormed in and demanded to know what Greenlee was doing in her office. "My office," corrected Greenlee. A war of words ensued over whose claim on Fusion was legit. Erica told Greenlee that she and Ryan were over and had broken up before they even knew that Greens was alive. Jack walked in just as Erica pronounced Greens to be “too spiteful to die.” He jumped to his daughter's defense and Erica stormed out after fuming that this is why she and Jack could never get back together. Jack demanded answers from Greenlee about why she was marrying David. She was upset to realize that he'd come to Fusion to see La Kane, not her. Once alone, Greens sent out a presumably dramatic e-mail and grinned to herself before ripping Erica's picture to shreds.

Colby observed Scott and Annie warmly bidding each other a good night. She then covertly phoned Oak Haven, pretending to be Annie and claiming that she urgently needed to talk to Dr. Burke. Annie came downstairs and Colby made herself scarce. The doorbell rang and Annie was stunned when Dr. Burke was there, claiming that she had called him. He was baffled by her response to his house call but left at her request. Shaken, Annie began to cry and Scott came into the room and put his arms around her when she said she felt like her life was falling apart. She opened up to him about how rattled she was by Greenlee's return. Annie then got word that Adam wouldn't be coming home that night. She told him that she didn't want to be alone that night.

David met with a hospital official to recommend that the board reconsider keeping Angie as Chief of Staff. Jake called David and lied that Marissa had been in an accident. David bought the fib hook, line and sinker; Tad, Jake and Ryan took off. Erica heard the tail end of their conversation and followed them. At the hospital, Jake copped to having lured David there under false pretenses. Ryan went to see Jack to tell him what he and Jake and Tad were up to. Jack phoned Erica but she blew him off, saying she had something important to attend to. Meanwhile, Tad and Jake dragged David to an undisclosed location.

Thursday

At the Chandler manse, Colby interrogated Annie about why Scott was sleeping on the couch in such a big house and inquired about Adam, who was at the hospital all night helping JR. Then, Scott asked Colby if she phoned Dr. Burke, who had showed up there. Colby claimed innocence, saying the last thing they need is Annie going off the rails again; Scott was dubious. Annie, meanwhile, saw a headline in the newspaper about Greenlee's return and asked, "Why can't she just stay dead?" She blamed everything on Greens
and worried about what might happen now that she's back.

Adam told JR that he's been up all night working on trying to set up a bone marrow donor registry for him, but Adam was confident that they'd find a donor in the family. JR apologized for not being more honest with his dad about his cancer sooner. They shared a moment and agreed to forgive each other. JR summoned Little A to join in their happy reconciliation and explain to the boy that JR's going to start a new treatment. Meanwhile, Marissa informed a stunned Krystal about JR's cancer and admitted that she's been a bit overwhelmed by it all and feels alone. Krystal offered her daughter support.

Jack and Tad searched Wildwind for the tape implicating Angie in the union deal, but came up empty handed. Angie called Jake and urged him to stop looking, adding that she's thinking about resigning because she needs to take responsibility for her actions regarding the strike. She read her resignation letter to herself and dutifully signed it. Jesse came to her office and wondered why she didn't come home last night, then advised her not to quit her job or be manipulated by David. She wouldn't listen and sent her letter off.

David woke up tied and bound. He was greeted by Erica in her new place. "Was last night as good for you as it was for me?" she grinned and asked him to recall the events of the night before. He pinpointed Jake for tying him up and was shocked that Erica was working with the Martins. He demanded to be freed, but she refused. Later, Tad arrived and pressured David to tell him where he hid the tape. Erica advised Tad to try a special hiding place at
Wildwind and reminded David that she used to live there, too. Erica was determined to talk some sense into David, saying she'll do everything she can to prevent Greens from ruining Fusion. She made it clear that Ryan has nothing to do with her going after Greens. They tangled about each other's poor tastes in romantic interests, then David pointed out that they still have feelings for each other and that he's regretted their own breakup for a long time. Erica couldn't help but be flattered by his flirtations, but she said she still wants Hayward to marry Greenlee and take her away from PV forever.

Meanwhile, Greenlee woke up to Ryan, who told her that he brought her to the place where they got married years ago. She freaked out and tried to flee, saying that Ryan is holding her prisoner. Ryan tried to talk her down by discussing how great he felt on their big day and how much he loves her; Greens, however, could only recall Kendall interfering that fateful day and pounded on the door, yelling for someone to let her out. Then she reminded Ryan that she's marrying David whether he likes it or not. Ryan explained to Greens everything she missed and urged her to believe that their love is still there. Greens pulled a fake-out, claiming she's in pain and knocked Ryan out as she ran out the door. Ryan caught up with her. After more pressing from Ryan, Greens flashed back to all the loving moments they shared and finally admitted that she still loves him.

Back at the Chandler manse, a suspicious Adam entered just as Annie told Scott she couldn't have gotten through the night without him. Annie freaked out, fearful that Adam might think she and Scott had sex. Adam summoned Colby and JR entered with Marissa in tow to inform everyone that the chemo isn't working and they all need to get tested for possible bone marrow matches. The Chandlers regrouped at the hospital for testing. Frankie and
Jake explained the procedure. Adam was miffed when he was informed that his age and health prevents him from being a donor. JR and Colby shared a moment; JR assured her that they'll find away to get rid of Annie. Adam asked Tad to find a woman named Sonia Reyes.

At the hospital, Jake and Tad showed up with the tape but it was too late; Angie had already sent out her resignation letter. She was upset, but then Jesse entered with her letter, saying that he stole it before it was messengered out. He tore it up and told Angie she can be anything she wants to be. She got a page and rushed out. Jesse confronted her and demanded to know what secrets she's hiding.

Friday

While on their cell phones, Tad and Liza bumped into each other. Tad told Liza that Adam hired him to find a missing person. Liza admitted JR is her client. Liza questioned whether or not the person was missing or hiding. She told Tad she was going to be tested to try to help JR. Tad thanked her, but told her the chances of her being a bone-marrow match were very unlikely.

The Chandlers were at the hospital also being tested to find a match for the bone marrow transplant JR needed. Annie told JR she would be tested and, if a match, she thought it might herald a new, nicer turn in their relationship. JR, suspicious of her motives, questioned why she would help him, and asked what she wanted in return. Annie claimed she just wanted to help and believed it would help right the wrongs in her relationship with the Chandler family. An angry JR told her to leave. He said he didn't want her bone marrow — even if it did match.

When Jake assured JR that there is a screening process before any of the bone marrow is transferred, JR asked, "Do you screen for crazy?" Annie turned to Adam for support, but Adam advised her to go home with Scott. JR tried to have a conversation with Colby about the what-ifs of his possible death. The subject of Annie came up, which caused Colby to get up and go. When JR asked where she was going, she told him she had some things to take care of.

An infuriated Annie arrived home with Scott. She could not believe that Adam told her to leave. Scott tried to calm Annie down, but when Annie dropped a Glass, she grabbed Scott's hand as they started to clean up the mess. He pulled away from her and said things have changed, that they couldn't work together anymore. Annie became frantic and said she needed him — she felt lost, abandoned, and alone, just like the last time Greenlee came back. Scott ignored her pleas and walked away.

Liza arrived at the hospital to speak to JR. JR told Marissa he wanted her to legally adopt Little A. Marissa was overjoyed at the thought and accepted. Adam told JR not to do it. JR and Marissa asked Little A how he would feel if Marissa became his mother. Little A was totally happy with the idea. Tad came to the hospital and informed Adam that he had no leads on the mystery woman Adam asked him to find, and that any little piece of information Adam could give him would help. Adam said he thought he had
something at home and left the hospital. Colby returned to the hospital, and JR asked Colby where she had gone. Colby told JR that Annie is on edge because of Greenlee — which had given Colby an idea for a new way to get rid of Annie. When Adam arrived home, he discovered a distraught Annie outside, clutching a tire iron, which she found at the mansion.

Elsewhere, Erica admitted to a tied-up David that she wanted him to marry Greenlee as long as he took her far away from Fusion, Pine Valley, and Ryan. Erica wondered why David would even want to marry Greenlee. David said he would gain a young, beautiful, vibrant bride. He was not fooled, and pointed out that he didn’t mention loving Greenlee. She asked him if he'd ever been in love and told him she thought the notion of love scared him. David rebutted and said, "I've loved, I've lost, and like a fool I'll go at it again." Erica angered David by bringing up his father, but he screamed that how he was raised was off-limits. Erica tried to assure him that there was someone out there for him to fall in love with. David admitted that it may not be love between him and Greenlee, but she needed him, which might be exactly what he needed. David lightly caressed Erica's face and they both leaned in for a kiss. But David was really trying to get the key to the handcuffs (in Erica’s dress). The two started bickering again. Erica left the room shortly after David's cell phone rang, leaving David tied-up and alone.

Greenlee, still locked in a room with Ryan, admitted she never stopped loving him. Then she kissed him. Greenlee told Ryan it was a good-bye kiss — that what they had was over. Ryan, confused, asked her why she would rather marry a man she didn't love. Greenlee promised she would not marry David if Ryan would just let her go, but Ryan didn't budge. Greenlee became upset and started ranting about how they couldn’t be together, which caused her to pass out. Ryan called Jake to check on Greenlee; Jake sent Ryan to get some juice and snacks for her to raise her blood sugar. As Ryan returned, he heard Greenlee confiding in Jake. She told Jake that she still wasn't strong enough after the surgery, and if Ryan did not back off, she wasn't sure she would be able to handle it.
