All My Children Recaps
AMC Week of September 28, 2009
Monday
Tad's energy was waning as he reported on the last of the dance marathon couples. Erica and Ryan, Annie and Scott, Jesse and Angie, and Natalia and Brot slowdanced as Tad observed that every couple tells its own story. Natalia bragged that she's going to be the last one standing, while Erica boasted to Ryan that she was certain they'd gotten the most pledges. But Tad announced Natalia and Brot as the couple with the most donations, to Erica's great dismay. Scott asked Annie what Adam will think when he sees her groping his nephew on TV. She said he'd already gone home, unaware that he was watching them from the bar.
Annie was gyrating on Scott so much that he needed a water break. She followed him and suggested they have a drink at the bar. When Scott asked how she can have so much energy, she reminded him that they're young and free, just as Adam walked in and said he wanted a final dance with his bride to be. She explained that she was only trying to spice things up on the dance floor to win pledges. He said he wasn't quite so concerned with that as he is with her constant evasion of the topic of his brother's death. She swore on her daughter's life that she didn't kill Stuart. He pointed out that he heard she'd been putting the blame on her daughter. She figured out that it was Ryan who suggested that and claimed he was twisting her words. Meanwhile, Ryan tried to get Scott to work with him on finding out what Annie's hiding.
Amanda asked Krystal to keep an eye on Trevor while she and David headed back to the dance floor. David asked what her and Jake's argument was about, and she said that she'd explained to Jake that she and David have reached a new level of understanding. David reminded her that Jake will see Amanda and her baby on his terms, but assured her that he's not trying to break up her and Jake. Tad interrupted their conversation to inform David that a bid had come in for David and Erica to perform a "spotlight dance." Tad retrieved Erica from her break, and David took a reluctant Erica for a spin. Meanwhile, Tad pulled Amanda aside and advised her to be more careful with Jake's heart, and spend less time "rubbing stomachs" with Hayward. After Tad booted Amanda and David from the competition, Krystal advised Amanda that she made the wrong decision when she chose not to follow Jake. David looked pleased with himself as he left with Amanda.
Adam took Annie back to the dance floor but their dance was interrupted by two officers intending to escort Annie home. Jesse gloated that her carriage has turned into a pumpkin. Meanwhile, Ryan and Erica shared a moment alone and she admitted that she missed him while she was dancing with David. Natalia pulled Jesse away from Angie and asked if he planned to offer Brot a job. He said he was considering it. Natalia came back and basically scowled at Brot, while Angie teased him about pushing Nat's buttons. He admitted that getting her mad is fun. Jesse later advised Angie not to get into match-making, while Angie reported to Natalia that Angie had accused Natalia and Brot of flirting. Brot casually suggested that he and Natalia might actually be a good couple, making her laugh. With most of the other couples MIA (including Erica and Ryan, who were making out passionately backstage), Brot pointed out that they're the likely winners. Tad caught Angie running away from her partner and disqualified them, and announced that if Erica and Ryan didn't get back to the dance floor in 10 seconds they would be out of the running. The countdown began as Erica and Ryan started taking off their clothes, and Brot and Natalia were declared the winners.
Tuesday
Tad congratulated Brot and Natalia on their dance marathon win. Meanwhile, Ryan and Erica got passionate in her office. They were forced to stop and collect themselves when Tad came a-knockin'. After hosting the conclusion of the televised coverage of the marathon, Erica bolted to her office with Ryan as the Hubbards celebrated Brot and Nat's win. Erica and Ryan agreed that they didn't want to mess up their friendship. Erica brought up their age difference; he said it didn't bother him. They kissed.... Brot and Jesse broke the news to Natalia that Brot is going to enroll in the police academy. Nat freaked out on Brot after Angie and Jesse left. Challenged by Natalia, Brot let her quiz him from the police training manual. Frustrated by his good performance, she grabbed their trophy and marched out.
At home, Jake tormented himself by watching the tape of David and Amanda dancing. Krystal told him to erase it and tried to stop him from giving up hope where his wife was concerned. Tad came home and joined in her efforts. Jake wondered what was going on between Tad and Krystal (whether they were truly just friends).
At Wildwind, David tucked Amanda in for a nap on the couch. She woke up to the sound of David speaking highly of her to Trevor. Amanda was dubious about David's sincerity, then claimed to believe him. He thanked her. David took Trevor upstairs but paused by the staircase and watched Amanda place a call to Jake on her cell phone. Tad answered and confirmed to Amanda that Jake wouldn't take her call.
In the secret room, Kendall screamed for Aidan to let her out. Zach returned home and Aidan offered to help him get a confession out of Annie. When Zach balked, Aidan made it clear that Zach didn't have a choice. Zach went to see Kendall upstairs; she was sulky about his dancing with Liza. Aidan opened the front door as Liza was arriving. Aidan tried to distract Liza, but she was determined to see Zach. Kendall bristled when Liza called out for Zach moments after Zach said that Liza was out of his life. Zach came downstairs and Liza demanded to know what was going on. Aidan left and Zach deflected Liza's questions. Liza returned Kendall's case files and formally withdrew as Kendall's counsel. Zach panicked when Liza revealed that she had arranged for the D.A. to go visit Kendall in jail. Liza was floored when Kendall revealed her presence.
Wednesday
Liza was floored when Kendall revealed her presence to Liza. Zach and Kendall tried to explain themselves to Liza, who was livid. They told her about the Kendall lookalike who was serving Kendall's sentence. Zach darted off to do damage control. Liza then insisted to Kendall that she doesn't
want Zach anymore. Kendall nonetheless accused her of being in love with Zach, which Liza denied. Liza stormed out.
Jesse arrived at the Chandler manse to escort Annie to her trial. She was thrilled. Scott phoned Ryan to tip him off to the early start to Annie's hearing. He covered when Annie walked in.... Aidan sneaked into the mansion and snooped around, avoiding detection by Scott. He found a DVD and viewed it on a laptop, discovering the footage of Annie making out with Scott and JR.... Jesse learned that because "something had come up," Willis wasn't going to prosecute Annie's case. Zach called to beg Jesse to intercept Willis, who was already on his way.... Willis got to the prison and presented a court order that would force Kendall to see him.
Marissa stroked JR's head as he slept and came away with a clump of hair. Together, they went to JR's chemo session, where JR chatted with a fellow patient. Marissa excused herself and sought counsel from Angie, who was volunteering there. JR told Marissa that he wanted to take back control of his life — and to that end, he had her shave his head.
Ryan showed up at Annie's trial. Zach arrived next and begged Ryan to think of Kendall before testifying against Annie. Annie pleaded not guilty be reasons of temporary insanity. The judge, who was in Adam's pocket, recommended six months in an in-patient facility, causing Ryan to have an outburst. Ryan made a plea on his daughter's behalf. Ryan surprised everyone by lending his support to Annie and speaking highly of her. "Is he high?" wondered Jesse to Zach, who was thrilled by Ryan's performance. The judge changed his ruling to six months of out-patient therapy and said that she was no longer under house arrest. Adam removed Annie's ankle monitor as she squealed with glee. Annie told Ryan that he was onto his game. He calmly told her that her real nightmare was about to begin.
Zach returned home and told Kendall about Annie's verdict. She warned him that Liza was on her way to the prison to sell her down the river. Liza told Willis that the woman he was there to see was not the woman he was expecting.... The double was panicked when the guard came to get her.
Thursday
Jake listened to a voicemail from Amanda. David entered and told Jake he had to do another shift.... Krystal approached Amanda and tried to talk some sense into her regarding Jake. Krystal told Amanda that she would do whatever it took to get David to let Amanda go.... Amanda came to the hospital to see Jake. Their conversation did not go well and Amanda was in tears by the time David entered the room and tried to console her.... Krystal paid a vist to Jake. Jake told Krystal that he didn't think he and Amanda could work things out.
A giddy, free Annie returned home to the Chandler manse. Scott congratulated her. Annie got him to admit that he had tipped off Ryan to her early court date. Annie told Scott to move out but he refused. She warned him not to help Ryan keep Emma from her. Adam reentered the room with a homecoming gift for Annie. The judge phoned and Adam excused himself.
In the secret room, Kendall told Zach that Liza had gone to the prison to sell her out. Kendall insisted to Zach that Liza still wants him. Meanwhile, Liza tried to buy time with Willis by claiming that Kendall had gone mad. Liza got a meeting with the double and briefed her on the situation. The
double told Liza that she wanted out. Liza blackmailed her into faking insanity in front of Willis.... Kendall admitted that she was terrified of losing Zach; she cried in his arms. Zach apologized to Kendall for having shut down on him. Liza returned with the news that thanks to her, Willis didn't meet with the impersonator. Kendall rushed into Zach's arms. Kendall thanked Liza for helping her. After Liza went home to Colby and Stuart, Zach told Kendall that he loves her. Liza got a message from a woman named Bailey who said she was hoping that Liza could help her find her baby.
Marissa shaved JR's head at his request. He acknowledged that he could no longer pretend that everything was the same. He became nauseous and ran out. When he returned, Annie called to tell JR that she's a free woman. A disgusted JR hung up and, with Marissa by his side, charged over to the Chandler manse to rail at Adam. Adam told JR that his shaved head looked ridiculous and when JR ran out, sick, Adam assumed that JR was drunk. Marissa said that he wasn't. Scott told JR that he wants Annie out of Adam's life. Annie told Scott not to plot against her with JR. Scott swept her into a passionate buss, then pulled away and gloated that he was in charge, not her.
Friday
Tad and Krystal bickered about David. Opal entered and, after Krystal left, advised Tad to reopen his heart to Krystal. Tad admitted that he still had feelings for Krystal.
At Wildwind, David invited Amanda to join him and Trevor for lunch. Krystal showed up and tried to talk some David-related sense into Amanda. David eavesdropped as Amanda defended him to Krystal. Krystal returned home and got a talking-to from Opal. Krystal had no problems admitting that leaving Tad for David had been the biggest mistake of her life. Opal counseled her on how best to make it up to him. Tad returned and Krystal told him that maybe what Jake and Amanda need is proof that a couple can survive David, implying that they (Tad and Krystal) should reconcile. "What do you say?" she asked hopefully.
Liza told Jake that she had received a call from Stuart's birth mother, Bailey. Liza phoned Bailey and told her that Stuart's adoption was legally binding. Bailey hung up on her. Liza was panic-stricken at the thought of losing Stuart to Bailey.... Bailey showed up at Liza's and met Colby.... Liza, baby Stuart and Jake went to the yacht club for lunch and encountered Amanda, David and baby Trevor. David tried to stoke Amanda's jealousy of Liza and to make her question Jake's loyalty. Meanwhile, Jake lamented to Liza that he didn't think he and Amanda could survive David. Bailey showed up at the yacht club, sending Liza into a tailspin.
Angie and Randi toasted Frankie on his first day back at work. Madison was rushed into the hospital, having overdosed. Angie alerted Jesse. Frank spoke to Madison when she regained consciousness and accused her of having planned this all for his benefit. Madison told Frank about her rotten family and claimed to be sorry for what she had done to him. After Jesse and Angie talked with Randi and Frankie, Jesse and Angie informed Madison that they were having her moved to Oak Haven for psychological evaluation. Madison begged them not to send her there but they were unmoved. Madison told Angie that she would give Angie the ability to exonerate Randi if Angie would give her pills enough to kill herself. Madison vowed to make Angie's life miserable if Angie didn't comply.
