AMC Week of October 12, 2009

Monday

Kendall assured Zach that they'll get through this tough time. "Stop shutting me out of your heart because you think I've changed," she said and urged him to trust her instincts now. They shared a passionate kiss. Kendall wanted to make good on their renewed vows; Zach reminded her they can't go back. She made a series of promises be a better person to help heal their relationship; he did the same.

Eric called an angry Annie a liar when she claimed that Aidan had kidnapped her to get her to confess to Stuart's murder. Adam told Ryan he'd pay for his part in it. Emma ran out when the adults started fighting. Adam followed her and was stunned when he found her unconscious and at the bottom of the stairs. They called an ambulance; Ryan started CPR. At the hospital, the paramedics informed Jake that Emma had a seizure en route and he ordered CT scan. In the waiting room, Jesse questioned Adam about Annie's
disappearance. Adam said Aidan tortured Annie and demanded that he lock both him and Ryan up. Erica advised them to focus on Emma and crossed hairs with Annie when she suggested that Annie's more worried about what Emma might say when she's alone with the doctors. Erica asked Adam if he saw Emma fall. He blamed himself for trying to comfort her. "When I reached out to her, she ran. She hates me." He had a quick flash of a memory involving Emma and was clearly rattled.

Aidan informed Zach and Kendall about what had happened to Emma. Jesse arrived, adding how Erica and Annie "almost went ghetto on each other" before the girl fell. Then he handcuffed and arrested Aidan for kidnapping Annie and said he has to play by the book. Zach agreed it was a good idea so nothing could be tracked back to Kendall. Later, Kendall reminisced about her wedding day to Zach and recalled their original vows.

Back at he hospital, Jake told Annie and Ryan that Emma's brain is bleeding and she needs surgery to relieve the pressure on it. Annie was inconsolable and angry that she doesn't have a say in the matter and said she wishes she had sole custody of Emma. Ryan told Erica that he blames himself for what happened. Scott told Annie they want to question her at the police station. She surmised that Jesse knows more than he's letting on and demanded that Adam go to the station and make sure Aidan isn't released. Scott comforted Annie. They went for a walk. Annie said she needs to tell him the truth about Stuart's murder. Zach arrived. Ryan angrily confronted him about what happened. He pointed out that Zach doesn't care about anything but clearing Kendall's name and Emma continues getting hurt because of it. Zach apologized and said he thought he was doing what's best for everyone.

At the police station, Jesse told Aidan they'll have to go through the motions with the arrest, especially when Adam shows up, and that they will have to look into the kidnapping, but assured him that the charges will be dropped. Aidan wanted the D.A. to throw the book at him to make it look legitimate. Jesse was stunned and pointed out that Aidan could do some serious time. Later, Adam accused Jesse of being a co-conspirator in Annie's kidnapping. Jesse, in turn, accused Adam of covering for Annie.

Back at the hospital, Erica walked in on Annie having a private chat with Scott. "See, now you know why it has to be this way," Annie said. Erica interrupted and told Annie that Emma's surgery was a success. Erica was appalled that Annie acted more concerned about fighting Ryan and Zach than her daughter's surgery. When Annie turned back around, Scott was gone. He went back to the Chandler manse and had a flash of Stuart's dead body. Then he poured himself a stiff drink. When Adam walked in, Scott said he knows now Annie didn't kill Stuart.

Kendall was shocked and panicked as she listened to a message on the Slater answering machine. The warden at the prison informed Zach that there was an incident in his wife's cell block and she was stabbed so they're taking her to Pine Valley hospital.

Tuesday

At the hospital, Erica overheard Zach telling Kendall not to wait up. Zach claimed that it was an inside joke. Jesse approached them and asked for a moment with Zach. Erica eavesdropped as Jesse said there was a problem with "the other Kendall."

At home, Kendall heard that her double had been stabbed and was being transported to the hospital. Kendall alerted Liza; over the phone with Zach, they decided to rush Kendall to the hospital to switch her with the double.... Erica was floored to hear of Kendall's stabbing.... Jesse reluctantly brought Angie in on the scheme to switch Kendall and the double.... A suspicious Erica went to the Slater house and wrested Ian away, declaring that she needed to bring him to Kendall.... At the hospital, a shaken Angie prepared to treat the double and make sure that no one figured out she wasn't Kendall — a plan that was complicated by David's arrival.
Zach helped Angie abscond with "Kendall." Erica, Liza and Ian arrived. David and Erica were clearly suspicious of Zach as Liza and Jesse sneaked Kendall into the double's room.... Angie was furious with Jesse but blocked Erica and David from entering the room where Kendall and the double were, along with Zach and Liza. By the time David barged in, Kendall was in the hospital bed and the double was gone. Erica brought Ian in and Kendall's reaction to him intensified Erica's certainty that something wasn't quite right.... David confronted Angie, convinced that he was pulling one over on him where Kendall was concerned.... Liza brought the double back to the secret room. She was not pleased and hissed to Liza that she refused to go back to jail.

In between swigs of whisky, Scott told Adam that he knows that Annie didn't kill his father. Adam asked if he knew who did. Scott was evasive. Annie, fresh from a tense talk with Ryan, phoned and told Adam that Emma hadn't woken up yet after surgery. Adam told Scott that he knows Emma did it and that he didn't want the little girl to have to pay for it.... Ryan listened as Annie spoke to her unconscious daughter. Scott showed up and defended Annie to Ryan, stoking Ryan's suspicions... Back at the house, Adam fought back tears as he was visited again by Stuart's spirit, who continued to insist that Adam had the answers.... Ryan begged Emma to wake up.... Adam came to the hospital and joined Annie and Scott, telling her, "Annie, I'm so sorry." He revealed that he thought Emma killed Stuart.

Wednesday

At Pine Valley Hospital, Ryan wanted to know why Scott was standing guard for Annie. "How has Annie changed your mind?" Ryan asked. He told Scott that he's a fool if he believes a word Annie says. "She will destroy anybody to
save herself," he stated. "Even her own daughter."

In the chapel, Annie asked Adam to swear secrecy in order to protect Emma. "You do know it was an accident?" she mentioned of Emma's culpability in Stuart's death. Annie added that she saw it happen and convinced Emma that it was just a dream. "You had to protect her," Adam insisted. "Your child was under attack." Adam then asked why she confided in Scott. Annie said she trusted him. Adam pledged his love to Annie, and she vowed that they will still have a happy life together.

Angie wanted to know why David insisted on treating Kendall. "Her life is none of your business," Angie asserted. "Back off!" David hinted that he knew Angie was up to something. After, Angie reported to Jesse that David was sniffing around. She demanded some answers. Jesse insisted Kendall did not kill Stuart. He believed Annie was the culprit. "She's gotta go and I gotta help," he noted.

Liza informed Zach that Kendall's look-alike wanted out and balked at going back to prison. Zach said he was on his way. Once there, Zach promised the girl lots of money and gave her something to relax. Liza stressed that they've got to get the girl back to prison immediately.

Erica visited Kendall and found lots of holes in her story. "What are you accusing me of?" Kendall asked her mother. "I'm not sure ... But something is off." Erica got a call and David attempted to sneak in. David got past the guard and checked Kendall's chart. David reminded Kendall that he gave her her new heart. David was suspicious of her prison stabbing story. Jesse entered and asked David to leave. Outside, David informed Jesse that Kendall was fit to be released and it was time for her to go back to prison. Zach arrived and told Jesse there has been a change in plans. Zach
went to see Kendall and break the bad news. "It's over." Zach said he was coming forward about hiding her. "We can run," Kendall suggested. "No," Zach replied. "This is the only way."

Ryan crossed paths with Annie and Adam and told Adam that he was was being tricked and that Emma was not the killer. "You've been conned," Ryan blurted. Annie broke them up, and insisted to Ryan that she was telling the truth about Emma.

Zach informed Jesse of his plan to come clean and thanked him for all his help.

Erica returned and Kendall asked her mother for a favor. "What is going on?" she asked. Kendall asked Erica to bail Aidan out of jail. At PVPD, Aidan was surprised to be released and was told to report to Erica at the hospital. Aidan showed up and Erica said she had no answers. Aidan went to see Kendall, who said she needed his help.

Liza was summoned by the look-alike to the secret room. She said her stitches had opened. Liza was suspicious and upon entering, the look-alike conked Liza over the head and escaped.

Thursday

Adam tried to calm Annie, who was upset that Emma was in the hospital and she couldn't see her. "My daughter needs me," she cried. She urged him to pull some strings. He assured her he would once the judge called him back. Scott came in and revealed that he was working with the judge to get a court order to help Annie. Adam called the judge to thank him. Now alone, Annie and Scott discussed the night Stuart died. She wished things had been different. He insisted nothing would have changed and Stuart would still be dead. Scott asked if she could go back, would she stay and help Adam or run off with Emma. She admitted she didn't know. A courier arrived. Scott signed for the papers and handed them to Annie. He offered to drive her to the hospital, but she said he had done more than enough and took off.

At the hospital, Jesse was about to enter Kendall's room but Erica stopped him, claiming Kendall was sleeping, but really, she was talking to Aidan. Jesse asked Erica why he bailed Aidan out of jail. Angie approached during their conversation and pulled her husband aside. She chided him for being in the hospital when Natalia was getting her shield that night. Jesse said he couldn't make it, explaining that he was helping Zach help his family. "Again, at the expense of your own," Angie pointed out. Inside, Aidan asked Kendall what was going on. She explained that she needed him to violate the conditions of his bail. He asked which. "All of them," she replied. She explained what she wanted him to do; he pointed out if he did, there was no going back. He left her room and ran right into Jesse, who warned him to stop whatever he was doing. Aidan shrugged that Jesse worried too much. Jesse went into Kendall's room and urged her to not let Zach take the blame for everything.

At the station, Natalia was beaming in her uniform. Frankie gave her a hug — and a gift from him and Randi. She groused that their father didn't come. He pointed out that it might have been a blessing in disguise because people might be distracted by Jesse's presence. She thanked him for coming and began her first shift. Brot entered, holding a uniform. He said he was starting the academy and would be on an accelerated path because of his experience in Iraq. A sergeant came over and gave Natalia a transport assignment at the hospital.... Frankie went to the hospital and ran into Angie. She asked how the graduation was. He said it was all okay, except for the fact that Jesse didn't show. Angie defended her husband. Frankie wondered why she was so on edge. She said they were short-staffed. He said he could pitch in. She handed him a bunch of charts.

Liza got into a physical brawl with Kendall's double.... Zach asked Ryan to take care of Ian. Ryan asked why; Zach cryptically said he'd find out soon enough. Ryan pushed him to explain but Zach was still evasive. He urged Ryan to trust him. Ryan relented, noting to Zach that he was only helping for Emma's sake.... Liza called Zach and revealed that the double had escaped. He said it was okay; they didn't need her anymore. He insisted he had everything under control.

Zach called D.A. Willis and asked him to come to the hospital. Erica overheard the conversation and asked why he was contacting Willis. He thought Kendall told her. Zach hurried off and ran into Aidan. He warned Aidan not to do whatever Kendall asked. Aidan insisted Annie needed to pay for what she had done. Zach entered Kendall's room while she was talking to Jesse.... Liza headed to the hospital, looking for Zach. Jesse told her he was in with Kendall. Liza panicked that she would wind up in trouble with the double now on the loose. Jesse told her it would be okay.... In Kendall's room, Kendall lamented that she was losing Zach just when she got him back. He assured her he wasn't going anywhere. Kendall asked him to promise to wait for her, no matter how long it took. "It's you and me. We're for always," he declared. Jesse poked his head in to say it was time for Kendall to go. Zach asked for a minute alone with her. With tears streaming down her cheeks, she told him she loved him and only him. They kissed. Zach headed out. Aidan came in, karate chopped a cop and hustled Kendall out of the hospital. Before they made it to an exit, Jesse and two cops pulled guns. Aidan did, too. A cop alerted the D.A., who was meeting with Zach. They rushed to the scene. Natalia arrived at the hospital and sneaked up behind Aidan and Kendall, with a gun in hand. She fired her weapon.

Erica visited Emma and urged the little girl to open her eyes. She said she might fill Emma's room with stuffed animals or get her favorite singer to perform if Emma would wake up, but said that the best reason for Emma to wake up would be for Ryan. Ryan came into sit with his daughter and also urged her to wake up. Annie entered and asked how Emma was. Ryan answered tersely. Annie handed Ryan her court order and told him he wouldn't be able to keep her from her daughter. Angie and Frankie wanted to perform some tests on Emma. They asked Annie and Ryan to wait outside. There, they argued over their little girl. He told Annie to come forward and admit that she killed Stuart, noting that only she could get Emma to wake up by telling the truth.

Friday

David read the newspaper to Amanda alerting her to Kendall's hospital transfer. Amanda said she still has trouble believing that Kendall was the one who shot Stuart and rolled her eyes when he complained that Kendall had tried to pin the murder on him. Amanda received a text message advising her to "escape." At the hospital, Ryan watched Annie sleeping with Emma in their daughter's hospital bed and stalked off. Erica rushed up as he was about to break his hand on a wall and pleaded with him to remain calm. Erica admitted to Ryan that she helped Kendall go on the run. Meanwhile, Willis grilled Zach about Kendall's whereabouts, and Jesse announced that blood had been found in the parking lot. Cut to Aidan bleeding out of his arm in the Wyndemere stable by Kendall's side.

David asked Amanda who keeps texting her, but she lied that it was a spam alert about a sale. When she wanted to go "shopping" by herself, he insisted on joining her. But she managed to dodge the invite and headed to the stables to meet Jake, who was unaware that Kendall and Aidan were hiding nearby. Kendall pulled a gun on the duo as they were about to make love. Jake tried to reason with Kendall, who explained that she's not guilty and only ran because she had no choice. Amanda assured Kendall that they are on her side. Kendall finally put down the gun and revealed her wounded friend. Jake examined Aidan's gunshot wound and sent Amanda out for medical supplies. When David wasn't looking, she grabbed some bandages from the mansion and returned to the stables.

Liza pulled Zach aside and told him to keep his cool. Jesse returned and explained that the blood type they found didn't match Kendall's, so it was someone else who'd been shot in the escape. Liza advised Zach to think long and hard before he confesses to anything, then headed home to find Bailey trying to comfort a colicky Stuart. Bailey was miffed when Liza managed to calm the child and sobbed that she's bad at being a mom. Liza told Bailey not to be so hard on herself. Bailey didn't understand why Liza was being so nice to her. Liza explained that she loves Stuart so much that she wants to do what's best for him, admitting uncertainty about where the three are headed. With Liza's help, Bailey managed to get a smile out of the tot. After putting Stuart to sleep, Bailey ignored a phone call from her mom, which prompted Liza to ask about her relationship with her parents. Bailey admitted that her parents didn't force her into the adoption, but after she made the choice, she felt an incredible longing for the child she gave up so quickly. Liza comforted Bailey as she sobbed.

Annie awoke and spotted Erica and Ryan in a tender hug. Erica bought Ryan a little private time with Emma while she went to the vending machine with Annie. Ryan ran into Zach, who claimed that it was Kendall's idea to go on the run. Zach asked Ryan to watch Ian for him so that he could go after his wife. Meanwhile, Kendall wrote Zach a letter promising to come back to him and urged him not to try to track her down. Jesse phoned Zach claiming to have a lead on Kendall. David walked into the stables and was stunned to see Kendall, so Amanda panicked and knocked him out with a shovel.

While Erica was confronting Annie about what she's trying to hide, Emma suddenly jerked in her sleep and clutched her stuffed tiger. Ryan later found Annie keeping watch over Emma and when he left the room, Emma asked if she could open her eyes now.
