AMC Week of May 3, 2010
Monday
At the yacht club, Tad told Liza to get lost and tried to explain to Damon why he hadn't told him that he's his father. Damon ran off. Tad trailed him back to the Martin house and begged him not to leave. He tried to explain to Damon how he had come to impregnate Hillary. Damon remained upset. Tad told Damon that he wants to be a father to him however he can.
Liza went to BJ's and told Colby that Damon had overheard their conversation about his paternity. Colby accused Liza of wanting her to be miserable and stalked out. Colby arrived at the Martin house but Damon had already taken off.
David's wheels turned when he overheard Randi and Madison discussing Madison's past role as murderess. Greenlee and Erica arrived and Randi told La Kane that Jake had forced Amanda to stay home due to the stalker. Erica accused Greenlee of being AmandaFan. "You are paranoid," scoffed Greens. Madison berated Randi for talking about her past crimes within earshot of their colleagues. David approached Madison, who got a call learning that her back rent had been paid. David took credit for the generous financial act (which Ryan had actually performed). David bought Madison some lunch and continued to cozy up to her, hinting that he hoped she would help him keep Ryan's mind off of Greenlee. Madison tried to walk away, so David pulled out the big guns, asking her, "So how did you get away with murder?"
Jack delivered bad news to Greenlee about her Fusion packaging, which set her back in the competition with Erica. Jack told Greens that Ryan was responsible for the clause that was foiling Greenlee. She went to confront him.
At Amanda's, Natalia was unconscious in the closet, thanks to Janet. Amanda was freaked when her mother revealed her presence and confirmed that she is AmandaFan. Amanda tried to reason with Janet, but she refused to go back to the hospital or to allow Amanda to have any contact with the outside world. Amanda was horrified when Janet showed her what she had done to Natalia. Janet explained to Amanda that she plans to take Amanda and Trevor to Milan. Janet showed Amanda her fake passport. Janet became angry when Amanda refused to leave Jake. Janet threatened to "take care" of Jake the same way she had taken care of Trevor. Janet tied up Amanda, then went to get baby Trevor. Natalia came to and tried to undo Amanda's restraints. Janet heard noises coming from the closet and took out her gun. Janet intercepted a text from Jake to Amanda.
An upset Brot drowned his sorrows at the casino. He lost his temper with Ryan but quickly apologized. Ryan and Brot commiserated about the state of their lives and his crush on Natalia. Ryan was confronted by Greenlee about the contract clause. She understood his reasons for signing it in the first place. Ryan suggested that they go to Rio to try to convince the other manufacturer to nullify the problematic clause. Brot went back to the police station, where the cop who had posted the photos of Natalia apologized to Brot. Brot rushed off after learning that Natalia was working the AmandaFan case.
At the hospital, Jake examined Opal. He updated Opal on his marriage. Erica came by and tried to set Jake's mind at ease about the stalker.

Tuesday
Jack and Erica encountered each other at the hospital. Frankie caught them smooching but promised he wouldn't say anything. Erica reminded Jack that this couldn't happen again and they flirtatiously went their separate ways.
In the park, David revealed to Madison that he had overheard Randi calling her a murderer. She denied it but he used his threat to talk her into making a play for Ryan to distract him from Greenlee. Ryan, David pointed out, loves women who need rescuing.
Ryan suggested to Greenlee that they go to Rio to try to fix the contract clause that was jeopardizing her Fusion project. He explained that he would help her in exchange for her letting Kendall off the hook for the accident and asked her what was more important to her: revenge or Fusion. Madison showed up in time to watch Greens storm off in a huff.
Annie spied JR and Marissa making out at the Chandler mansion and dropped a vase, ruining the moment. Marissa left to meet a classmate. JR told Annie that he and Marissa were getting their own place. JR congratulated Annie on getting what she always wanted: the Chandler mansion, even though no Chandlers will reside there anymore.
Janet loaded her gun while Amanda and Natalia worked to free themselves from the closet. Jake and Brot arrived as Amanda and Natalia attacked Janet and tried to get the gun away. It fired and grazed Natalia's arm. The men burst in and got the gun away from Janet, and Jake examined Natalia. Amanda blasted Janet for her actions; Jake tried to console her. Amanda vowed that Janet will never get near her family again. "But I'm your mother," Janet replied. Brot insisted that Natalia get checked out at the hospital. After they left, Janet asked Jake to release her but he refused. Jake did promise that he'd take care of Janet because that's what family does. The cops arrived to take Janet away. "Kill me," she asked Jake. Just then, Erica showed up. "My God, Janet," Erica exclaimed. "My Janet is a big star, Erica," Janet gushed before being led away. Erica apologized to Amanda for not doing more.
Angie chatted with Jesse and speculated that Liza may be in cahoots with David about something, but they were interrupted when Jesse got a call about a shooting. Shortly afterward, Brot brought Natalia in. Angie examined Natalia, while Jesse demanded an explanation. Natalia told Jesse that Brot probably saved her life.
David met Marissa and they had a brief visit. David apologized for keeping her at arm's length during the trial. Marissa told her father that if he'd come by just once while JR was sick, she would have been so grateful. David admitted that he messed up as a father but wanted to fix things. Marissa doubted his sincerity and left.
Greenlee returned to the office where Randi filled her in about Amanda and Janet. Amanda was hesitant about resuming her career but Jake advised his wife not to be afraid.
Back at the mansion, Annie broke the news of the move to Marissa, who was stunned. Annie was on the verge of spilling the beans to Marissa about her affair with JR when JR entered and stopped her. Annie was forced to cover. "Don't let her get to you," JR advised his wife after Annie stalked off.

Wednesday
JR and Marissa bickered in the park over Annie spilling the beans about JR intending to buy them a new house. Back at the mansion, Annie begged Scott not to move out. He told her to stay out of it. JR and Marissa came home and he lambasted Annie for her loose lips. Annie then opened up some documents and brought them to JR and Scott. The papers announced that Adam was putting Scott in charge of the company. JR broke the news to Marissa. Marissa couldn't understand why Adam had given controlling interest in the company to Scott since Adam thought that Scott and Annie had been carrying on behind his back. Scott announced that he has decided not to move out. JR and Annie argued again but the chemistry between them was undeniable and he copped to still wanting her. He told her that they had to settle this away from the house. Scott told JR that he wouldn't cover for him but ultimately couldn't bear to hurt Marissa's feelings. Marissa opened up to Scott about feeling like something was going on that she wasn't being told about. She beseeched Scott to tell her what was going on. Meanwhile, JR met Annie at the Pine Cone.
At Wildwind, Greenlee presented David with a gift. Greens broke the news about her travel plans and he was upset when he figured out that she was going with Ryan. He accused her of buying him the present to ease her guilty conscience. Greens tried to reassure him of her devotion.
At the hospital, Damon was given a clean bill of health but, Jesse and Angie explained to Colby, he faced being identified by an eyewitness for trying to break into a liquor store. Angie was disappointed in Angie's behavior. Colby privately urged Damon to contact Tad and apologized for not having told him the truth about Tad being his dad. At the casino, Ryan informed Tad of his imminent trip to Rio with Greenlee. Tad revealed to Ryan that Damon is his son. Liza entered and got a call from Colby asking her to come to the hospital. Liza told Tad about the call and they went to the hospital. Tad told Jesse that Damon had just found out that Tad is his father. Tad told Liza that he didn't want her there. Tad spoke to Damon, who remained sullen, then went to see Jesse to ask him for another Damon-related favor. Jesse said that he couldn't help him this time. The eyewitness entered and cleared Damon's name. Damon saw Tad paying off the guy for having fibbed to the cops. Damon called Tad out for the bribery in front of Colby and Liza.
Ryan went to the park and told Emma about his business trip. Ryan went to Wildwind and had words with David, who stalked off to the park, where he received a phone call from Madison.... Greens was upset that David left without saying good-bye to her but told Ryan that she still wanted to go to Rio.
Thursday
Amanda appreciated Jake's efforts to lift her spirits in the wake of the Janet incident. Jake went to the hospital and got an update on Janet. He went to see her and was compassionate toward his disturbed mother-in-law, who wept over the realization that Amanda wasn't going to come see her.... Amanda asked Opal to watch Trevor for a while. Jake learned that Amanda hadn't gone to the Martins for Trevor's play date with his cousins. He found his wife in the park, where she collapsed crying in his arms. Amanda admitted that she'd never really dealt with her mom's illness and acknowledged her fear of turning out like Janet. She decided to go see Janet, who was overjoyed to see her baby.
At the yacht club, Liza told David that Colby had invited Damon to live with her. David informed Liza that Greenlee was in Rio. At the hospital, Angie and Jesse discussed Damon. Jesse thought they needed to step back and let Tad handle the boy. He convinced Angie to come to the yacht club with him. Angie told Jesse that they should just ignore David's presence. Wine was delivered to them compliments of David. Angie went to say thank you. David told Angie that he thought she could use a drink. Angie was called back to the hospital for an emergency. Liza refused to tell Jesse why she had been meeting with David. At the hospital, Angie and Jake tried to figure out what the emergency was about. They encountered David, who took great pleasure in revealing that he had purchased the hospital and was their new boss.
Marissa asked Scott to tell her what was really going on in the house. He was evasive. Marissa asked Scott if he wanted to be in charge of the Chandler family.
At the Valley Inn, JR told Annie that he wants her but she shoved him away, convinced he was playing her. He insisted that he was not. She suggested that they toast to their future and when she wasn't looking, he slipped something into her glass. She quickly realized that he'd drugged her. He spat that she was crazy to think he'd ever leave Marissa for her. When she collapsed on the ground, he called her pathetic and left. JR returned home and an angry Scott warned him that Marissa had interrogated him. JR told Scott that he hated what he had done to the family and was going to tell Marissa the truth. He copped to having left Annie at the hotel, where a drugged-up Annie fantasized about teaming with Marissa to kill JR. Scott came to her rescue. Back at the mansion, JR prepared to tell Marissa the truth.
Friday
Jake and Angie reeled from David's announcement that he was the new owner of the hospital. Neither was willing to resign and David said that he wouldn't fire them because Greenlee has a soft spot for them. Angie and Jesse met up in the park and he tried to help her manage her fury.
Ryan and Greenlee arrived in Rio. He tried to convince her to eat something. As they got to work, he noticed that she was barely conscious. She became nauseous and ran out. When she returned, she remained determined to make their meeting. Greenlee admitted that she thought she might be pregnant. She opened up about her fear of going through another miscarriage. When David phoned, she didn't tell him about the possible pregnancy. David sensed that something was off with her. Insecure about Ryan and Greenlee, David summoned Madison and told her to seduce Ryan immediately or else. "You either get Lavery into your bed or you go to jail for murder," he hissed. Back in Rio, Ryan tried to be supportive of Greenlee.
Amanda told Janet that she had come to say good-bye to her for good. Janet tried to talk Amanda out of it and implied that Amanda might one day love Trevor too much, the same way she loved Amanda too much. Amanda confronted Janet about how Janet killed her dad. Janet said that it had been necessary, because Amanda had loved Trevor more than she loved Janet. Suddenly, Janet had a seizure. Doctors tended to her and Jake assured Amanda that Janet was in good hands. Back at home, Amanda couldn't shake Janet's words.
Scott helped Annie up from the floor of the room in the Valley Inn. Annie told Scott about JR drugging her. Scott noted that Annie is hardly an innocent victim. Scott realized that Annie has feelings for JR, which she admitted was true. Scott recommended that she cut her losses and leave the Chandler family, but she refused.
JR broke the news to Marissa that he had slept with Annie. She was devastated and furious and uninterested in his apologies. "It's over," she spat. When AJ entered, Marissa gently told him that she had to leave for a while. She gave JR her wedding ring and left. JR was alone when Annie entered.
