All My Children Recaps
AMC Week of September 1, 2008
Monday
On Labor Day, ABC re-broadcast the ALL MY CHILDREN episode from Tuesday, May 27, 2008. You can see our recap of that day here.
Tuesday
Erica ran into Ryan on the beach. She could tell he was upset, and he told her about Annie moving out. Erica consoled him and gave him advice.
Carmen greeted Annie and Emma at the mansion. Babe and JR assured Annie it was fine for her to stay with them. Adam was surprised by her arrival. When he was alone with JR, Adam voiced his concerns. JR told Adam to give Annie a break. They discussed Fusion, and JR said they were still looking for dirt on Fusion Green, but he might have another idea. Later, Carmen listened as Annie and Adam talked about her helping him in the Fusion takeover. After Adam left, Richie appeared, egging Annie on. Meanwhile, Petey arrived to see Colby. Adam tried to get Colby to agree to go to the Fusion party with Petey. She refused, but Adam told him he could come as their guest, and Petey left. Ryan came to see Annie. Annie said she needed more time before they told Emma, and asked him to go. Before he could get out the door, Emma spotted him. Having no other choice, they sat Emma down and explained that they wouldn't be living together anymore. Ryan told her it was going to be okay, and then left.
Amanda and Randi discussed the Bella launch party. Kendall teased them about their decision to throw a party so soon. Babe arrived and told everyone about Annie leaving Ryan. Kendall looked on gleefully as Amanda showed Babe not only her stock picture for the Bella campaign, but one featuring herself as well. Erica arrived and joined Kendall in taking potshots at Amanda and Babe over their photos. Babe told Amanda to do whatever she wanted, since it was her money, and left.
Krystal, Tad and Kathy worked on painting the living room. Angie arrived in time for a lunch break. Tad and Angie talked about how well Kathy was doing.
Krystal made Kathy a sandwich. Kathy got upset and left the room when Krystal cut the sandwich the wrong way. Tad walked Angie out, and after she was gone, he spotted Kathy's headless doll on the ground. Inside, Krystal put a sleeping Jenny in her playpen, and climbed up on a ladder to set up the drop sheets for the paint. Kathy came up behind her and began shaking the ladder, sending Krystal toward Jenny.
Erica and Kendall went out to lunch. Kendall talked about her problems with Zach, and Erica ended up talking about Jackson and Carmen. Erica admitted it bothered her. They moved on to talking about Adam. She told Kendall that Adam was trying to make her believe he wanted to seduce her again. Kendall found that hilarious. Erica didn't think it was so funny.
After hearing from his PI, JR told Adam that there was nothing they could use against Fusion based on Fusion Green. JR told Adam about Babe's new fragrance, and suggested they use that as their way in. Adam surprised JR by saying he thought it was a good idea. Babe came home for lunch, and told JR about Amanda using her own picture for the ad campaign. JR consoled her and they were soon undressing each other. In the afterglow, JR told Babe that he'd told Adam about Bella. JR told her he was concerned by the fact that Adam was so easy to convince it was a good idea. He thought he might be up to something. Meanwhile, Annie asked Adam what he had in store for the Fusion party. He told her all he needed to know was that it would lead to the downfall of Kendall and Greenlee.
Wednesday
At the police station, Jesse told Frankie that they were having Randi watched until they found Fletcher. After Frankie left, Jesse found out that the blood on the wrench was Richie's. He said it cleared the kids, because Richie was already on the ground when they hit him. An officer told Jesse he had news he wouldn't like.
Amanda showed Randi the yacht, and Taylor arrived to move in. Randi told Taylor she had heard all about her from Frankie. Amanda insisted Taylor come with them to the Fusion party. Taylor came back in, in what appeared to be a dress. Amanda and Randi knew right away that wasn't going to cut it. Randi said she had an idea.
After narrowly missing landing on Jenny, Krystal told Tad that Kathy had pushed her off the ladder. Kathy denied that she did anything, and Tad told the child he believed her. Jake came over to check out Jenny, and declared she was fine. Tad overheard Krystal telling Jake that Kathy needed help. Tad said that all she needed was their love and patience. After Jake left, they continued arguing about Kathy, with Krystal insisting that Kathy needed a grief counselor. Tad kept making excuses for her. Krystal told him she would do whatever she had to in order to keep Jenny safe.
While Babe and Annie got ready to leave, Adam eyed a vial of Blast. Colby and JR joined them. Adam congratulated Babe on having her own fragrance. Pete came over, much to Colby's dismay.
Kendall greeted Greenlee and Aidan at the Fusion party. Fletcher snuck in unseen. Ryan and Erica arrived. Greenlee convinced Ryan and Aidan to shake hands. Kendall told Ryan she was upset he hadn't told her about Annie leaving him. She also said she didn't think it was so bad that Annie had left. Ryan didn't appreciate that, and Greenlee let Kendall know she didn't appreciate Kendall's meddling either. She blamed Kendall for a change in her relationship with Aidan. Jack and Carmen walked in together and greeted Erica. To say it was awkward would be an understatement. Amanda greeted Jake with a kiss when he walked in. When Annie, Babe and JR arrived, Babe told Amanda she was almost over her swapping the pictures, but JR of course made a snide comment. Aidan told Annie that he thought she should go back to Ryan. She told him that if Ryan wanted her back she'd have to fight for her. Annie confronted Greenlee, and Kendall told her to back off. Annie told Kendall this was her fault. Ryan tried to talk to Annie, who blew him off. Jake didn't think Annie should be out at a party; she needed to rest. Ryan wanted details, but Annie said he no longer had a right to question her. Randi brought a newly made-over Taylor to the party. Frankie and Jake were shocked by how good she looked. When they went off to get a drink, Amanda told Randi she did a great job with Taylor...but did she have to do such a good job?
Adam and Pete were up to no good. Erica interrupted their covert activities and said hello to Pete. She asked Adam what he was doing there. Erica thought he was there to see her. Later, Colby wanted to try Bella, and Adam tried to stop her, clearly because he had tainted it with Blast. However, he was unable to stop Babe from giving her a spritz.
Kendall called Zach for the second time, asking him to please come to the party. She told a concerned Erica that Zach was just busy with work stuff.
Carmen ran into Randi in the bathroom. She apologized for leaving Randi behind. Randi told her they weren't family, but Carmen said they were closer than family, and she wanted that again. Randi said she had to go, and left Carmen in the bathroom. In the hall, she chatted with Taylor and Amanda. They were about to go back to the party when Fletcher grabbed Randi from behind. Taylor freed Randi and held Fletcher in a chokehold as she had war flashbacks. When she let go, he fell lifeless to the floor. All eyes turned to Taylor when Jake announced Fletcher was dead.
Thursday
Taylor flashed back to Iraq, then snapped Fletcher's neck, killing him. Frankie summoned Jesse as Carmen shooed the crowd back to the party.
Downstairs, Greenlee pointed out to a sour Kendall that Bella is a hit, while Ryan quizzed Annie about her health — and the baby's. Kendall tried to call Zach, who was busy getting news that $20 million was missing from his company. When he eventually picked up the phone, he refused to tell Kendall about the missing dough. Adam and Pete hoped that one squirt of tainted Bella wouldn't hurt Colby too severely. Jackson escorted Carmen from the party. Kendall told Annie about the attack on Randi, then told Ryan that Annie is manipulating him and "to use your children as weapons — that's just evil." JR told Babe he needs to take Colby home because she suddenly appeared to be drunk. At the Chandler mansion, Colby laughed uncontrollably while denying being wasted. Adam suggested she was just sick and JR was overreacting — which made JR suspicious. Back at ConFusion, Taylor confessed to Jesse: "I killed that man." Amanda tried to do damage control with the press, while Greenlee and Kendall fretted over what this means to Fusion. Kendall blamed Amanda for the night's events and vowed to kill Bella if she sees one negative story. Aidan supported Greens. Later, at the police station, Randi told Jesse she saw Taylor choking out Fletcher with a strange look in her eyes. "Taylor saved my life," she summarized. Frankie later recalled seeing that same look in Taylor's eyes in Iraq.
At the Chandler mansion, JR insisted that something was wrong with Colby — and with Adam's reaction to it. Outside, loopy Colby wondered if Pete had drugged her, but then dismissed the possibility. Back at ConFusion, Kendall warned Aidan not to force Greens to choose between him and Ryan. At the PVPD, Taylor detailed using a choke hold on Fletcher, whom she called "the enemy." When Jesse asked why she didn't stop, she said she isn't trained to stop. "I lost control," she blurted out. "I didn't need to use lethal force." Jesse declared it "a clear case of self-defense" and let her go. Randi thanked Taylor for saving her life, then went to Amanda's with Frankie. At ConFusion, Annie needled Aidan about Ryan being in love with Greenlee, but he had confidence in Greens. At that moment, Greenlee bumped into Ryan on the roof. While Annie eavesdropped, he told Greens that Annie "took my kids." After Annie slipped away, Ryan told Greenlee he can't stop thinking about Greens and what might have been.
At Amanda's place, Frankie vowed not to leave a shaken Randi alone, meaning he would stay until she fell asleep. Elsewhere, Jake brought Taylor a drink and offered her a shoulder to lean on. He noticed her shaky hands, but she wouldn't talk about Iraq because he wouldn't understand. The Chandler clan watched Amanda on the news as she tried to turn the attack into positive publicity for Bella. Adam told Pete he's going to bring Bella to its knees and go in for the kill. Back at ConFusion, a desperate Josh burst in and begged Kendall for help with Zach.
Friday
Jake told Taylor he could understand her memories of war after being in Africa. He told her talking about it helped him. She told him about an attack on her convoy in Iraq. Four of her men had died instantly. She killed a man with her bare hands who grabbed her from behind, and her fiancé, who was fighting with her, was wounded and died later in Germany. She said the only thing that would make it easier was to get back to Iraq. They were interrupted by Amanda's arrival. Taylor excused herself, and said Amanda was great at the party. She thanked Jake for the talk and left.
Josh told Kendall that Zach was pissed at him, and asked her to go with him to talk to him. Kendall insisted that Zach loved him and it wouldn't be as bad as he thought. Josh was convinced, and told her he loved her before leaving. Meanwhile, Zach told two men to bring in the man who thought he could steal from him. Before Josh could get to Zach on his own, the two men grabbed him. They brought him to Zach's office, and Zach told him that a lot of money had gone missing from one of his casinos. Zach accused him of stealing it. Josh denied it. Zach said he had a problem, and it needed to go away. Josh asked if Zach was going to kill him, right as Kendall walked in.
Annie told Aidan that Greenlee was on the roof with Ryan. She tried to get him to go up there. She suggested that he and Greenlee could end up like her and Ryan. Meanwhile, Greenlee told Ryan that she loved Aidan and they were happy. She expressed how badly she felt for Ryan. Ryan talked about his fear of losing his kids, and Greenlee reached out to him just as Aidan arrived.
He told Ryan this had to stop; he didn't want him dumping on Greenlee. He told him to stay away from her. Ryan insisted Greenlee had to make these decisions, but she left with Aidan.
Randi told Frankie about growing up in foster care. She was bounced around a lot. There was only one time she thought she had someone, but then she disappeared too. He was the first person she could really count on. They kissed, but she pulled away. Frankie told her they would take this on her time. Taylor went home to the yacht where she found Frankie. Randi was sleeping. Taylor told him he could go home; she would take care of Randi. He told her what a good friend she was before leaving.
Jesse and Angie talked about Randi and Frankie. Angie was concerned about Randi's ability to transition into a normal life. She brought up his past, and started asking questions. Jesse admitted he had slept with other women while he was on the run, but none of them lasted because they weren't her. He talked about wandering into a hospital, where they discovered he was having a nervous breakdown and committed him. He was there for a year. She
wanted to know why he hadn't told her, and he said he'd been ashamed. She was sorry he had to go through that alone. After Jesse left, Frankie came home. Angie told him Jesse had gone back to work. Frankie opened a letter — it was redeployment papers; he was going back to Iraq. Meanwhile, Jesse went to ConFusion and made a call telling someone that they were right, they had to meet.
At home, Greenlee revealed she was furious with Aidan. She said Ryan wasn't an issue. Aidan forbid her from seeing Ryan. Greenlee furiously told him he was out of line. She refused to do it.
Annie tried to pry information out of Adam about his plans for Fusion, but he wasn't giving her any. Ryan came by to say goodnight to Emma. She refused to let him in, and said she had seen him on the roof with Greenlee. He told her she couldn't stop him from seeing his daughter, but Adam came in and said if he took one more step he'd call the police. Ryan reluctantly left, saying Emma needed her father. Adam chastised Annie after Ryan left — she was only going to push Ryan away. Alone, Annie watched Greenlee on the news talking about Fusion and got angry. She called Ryan.
Taylor and Jake sat in their respective homes, deep in thought.
