All My Children Recaps

AMC Week of July 6, 2009

Monday

In D.C., North pressed Randi to sleep with him for old time's sake, as he
put it. He told her that he had never stopped loving her and begged her to
come back to him. She tried to fend off his increasingly determined advances
and smacked him across the face. He threatened to tell Frank about her visit
and tried to force himself on her, so she clocked him in the head with a
bookend and, after he fell to the floor, rushed out of the room.

At the hospital, Jesse vented to Frank and Angie about North. Angie thought
Jesse was wasting his time trying to jump through North's hoops. Jesse told
Angie that he was going to go to D.C. to inform North that he's resigning.
Angie didn't want him to do anything so rash but Jesse said that he intended
to make a public statement explaining his reasons for resigning (North's
lack of interest in seeing justice truly served).... Randi called Frank and
tried to act like nothing was wrong. She then realized that she had left an
earring behind in North's room. Frank told Angie that he could tell that
something was wrong with Randi.

At the Chandler manse, Erica got in Annie's face and Annie snapped and began
to strangle La Kane. Adam burst in and expressed concern solely for Annie.
Erica was horrified by Adam's behavior. JR walked in as Adam was summoning
the cops. JR defended Erica to Adam, who wasn't interested, while Erica
cautioned a blas Annie that she wouldn't get away with this. After Erica
left, Annie and Adam together tried to convince JR that Kendall's allies are
trying to pin Stuart's murder on Annie. JR continued to rail against Annie.
After JR left, Adam got Annie to admit that Erica had said something to set
her off. JR grabbed Annie and told her that he knows she's guilty.

Zach went to Ryan's looking for Zach. Kendall called and Zach begged her to
come back. She said that he would just have to trust her. After Zach left,
Kendall came into the penthouse and told Ryan that she needed him. When
Erica showed up, Kendall was forced to hide. A rattled Erica filled Ryan in
about her violent encounter with Annie. Kendall watched from behind a plant
as Erica insisted that Annie killed Stuart. Ryan got Erica to leave but by
that time, Kendall had already fled.... Kendall went to the mansion and
tried to get through to Adam, insisting that Annie is guilty and that he's a
fool to dismiss the claims of Erica, the best friend he has. Adam told
Kendall that he had been closely observing Annie and was positive of Annie's
innocence. Kendall informed Adam that she had a way to change his mind. Kendall
left and Annie and JR entered. Adam claimed to now remember everything about
the night Stuart died, which seemed to upset Annie. Kendall listened nearby
— and someone grabbed her and clamped their hand over her mouth.

Zach went to the casino to get his people looking for Kendall; Madison
approached him looking for info on who Henry was cavorting with in D.C. Zach
urged Madison to stand up and show the world what kind of man her husband
is. She admitted that she doesn't want to live like this anymore. Madison
showed up in North's room and her bloodied husband begged her to help him.
"I wish I could," she said icily. "But right now, you're making it very hard
for me to love you." She was poised to finish the job that Randi had
started, holding the bookend over his head.... Randi returned to North's
room and found him dead on the ground. "Oh, my God!" she gasped. Jesse
entered shortly thereafter and asked his daughter-in-law what had happened.
She told him about her history with Henry and about what had happened since
she got to D.C. Jesse tried to comfort her.

Erica approached Zach at the casino for a Kendall-related powwow. He assured
her that he would make sure that Kendall is at her trial. He saw Madison,
who was back in town, ordering champagne. She told Zach that she had taken
his advice and shown her husband that she does have power.

Tuesday

ALL MY CHILDREN was preempted today. Recaps will resume on Wednesday.

Wednesday

At the casino, Madison cryptically told Zach that he didn't have to worry
about her husband anymore. Madison flashed back to her final encounter with
Henry, then called the hotel in D.C., claiming to be calling from the D.A.'s
room.

Randi was horrified when Jesse confirmed that North was dead. She blurted
out to Jesse that she's pregnant. Jesse got to work helping her cover her
tracks. She warned Jesse that Zach might be able to place her at the scene
of the crime. Zach called; Jesse let it go to voicemail. While they tried to
figure out what to do, room service showed up (per Madison's call). Jesse
got them to leave without opening the door and used the room service cart to
dispose of North's body. Shortly thereafter, Zach showed up, having bribed a
hotel staffer for access. The staffer said that Kendall had not been to see
North but Zach sensed that something was amiss and wondered where North
was.... Jesse and Randi strapped Henry's corpse into his car and pushed it
into a ravine.

In the Chandler parlor, Adam claimed before Annie and JR that he remembered
Annie killing Stuart. Annie maintained her innocence and accused Adam of
having been put up to this maneuver by someone (Erica, she guessed). Adam
admitted that he had been testing her and she was livid. Once Adam was
alone, Ryan and Kendall revealed themselves and he ordered them out,
claiming that his suspicions of Annie had been laid to rest. He had the cops
start to haul Ryan and Kendall away but Jack showed up and got Adam to admit
that Ryan and Kendall hadn't been trespassing.... Upstairs in her room, a
crying Annie used the device from Aidan to detach her ankle monitor. Adam
came upstairs and thought that she had fled, but she was still there. He
begged her to forgive him and vowed that he would make her feel happy and
safe. He put her ankle monitor back on and they kissed.

Back at Kendall's, Jack blasted Kendall and Ryan for trying to take matters
into their own hands. Ryan and Kendall then played with Spike and he tried
to convince her not to give up hope.

Marissa was mortified when she went into JR's office talking about their
kiss, but the person behind the desk turned out to be Scott. Scott put her at
ease and enticed her to join him for gambling at the casino. When JR showed
up, Scott was tempted to cut the evening short. Marissa tried to talk him
out of it but Scott left to go back to the office, leaving JR and Marissa to
talk about their kiss. JR admitted that he was anxious about relationships
but asked her on a date. She accepted on the condition that Little A join
them.

Thursday

Ryan and Kendall told Zach about their attempt to make Annie confess her guilt. He informed them that North was missing. Zach blasted Ryan for not stopping Kendall and left after getting a call from the hotel in D.C. Kendall and Ryan had a frank conversation about where they stood. Ryan told Kendall that he wanted to get off her merry-go-round, then stalked out.

Zach went to the casino and sat down with Madison. He told her that Henry was missing. Her behavior made Zach increasingly suspicious.

Jesse and Randi attempted to conceal their rattled nerves about what had happened in D.C. with Angie and Frank, respectively. Randi told Frank that she's pregnant; he was thrilled and insisted that they go tell his folks. Randi was overwhelmed with guilt as she showered; meanwhile, Zach showed up and Frank was understandably curious as to what he was doing there. Zach claimed that he had just wanted to thank Randi for all the work she'd been doing for Fusion. Randi asked Frank to grab a file for her from the nightstand. Once he was out of earshot, Zach asked Randi if she'd gone to D.C. the night before. Frank returned, unable to find the non-existent folder, and Frank was suspicious until Randi blurted out that she's pregnant. She asked Zach not to tell anyone; he agreed to remain mum. Frank and Randi headed over to Jesse and Angie's, where they shared the good news and Jesse pretended to be hearing it for the first time. Angie was ecstatic.

At the hospital, Jake tried to get Amanda to agree to go to counseling. She acquiesced. Joe approached Jake and asked who he was opening up to. Joe and Jake had a heart-to-heart before Amanda rejoined Jake after her session, thanking him for making her speak to the counselor.

At B.J.'s, David tried to get Krystal to come back to him but she refused. Jack told Erica about Kendall's harebrained scheme to get Annie to confess. Liza entered, pushing baby Stuart in a stroller, and told Erica that she and Kendall need to back off Annie. David rushed over when Stuart started crying; he was running a fever. Erica and David both thought Liza behaved strangely when she refused to let David touch the baby and rushed out. Liza brought the baby to the hospital, where she warned Jake that David had tried to examine the tot at B.J.'s. David showed up and asked Amanda where Liza was. When Amanda said that Jake was helping Liza with the baby, David found that to be curious and accused Jake of replacing Amanda's dead baby with Liza's, a charge that Amanda dismissed as ridiculous. David was unconvinced. When Liza and Jake emerged with the baby, whose temperature was back to normal, David questioned Liza as to whether the baby had been seen by a doctor when it was born and Liza got defensive and left. David was clearly growing more suspicious by the moment.... Amanda got into the elevator with
Liza and the baby and Liza freaked when Amanda tried to touch the little boy. Amanda asked Liza if she was trying to keep her from the baby.

Erica asked Krystal if she and David were back together. After they exchanged barbs, Erica got a text inviting her out for some fresh air. Beaming, she went to meet Ryan for a walk by the water. Ryan told Erica that he needs to stay away from Kendall for his own good; she understood. Erica told Ryan how much she admires him and they shared an intense moment as he put his hand on her shoulder....

Zach returned to D.C. and learned that North's corpse had been found in a car at the bottom of a ravine. Mid-celebration with the rest of his family, Jesse got a call to turn on the news. When they did, they saw a report about North's death. Natalia, meanwhile, approached Madison at the casino and said she needed to talk to her about her husband.... Zach interrupted Kendall's speech to the boys about why Mommy might not be around for a while to tell her that North is dead.

Friday

At the hospital, David confronted Jake about why he's always hovering over Liza's baby. Jake snapped back that it's called friendship and it's his job to make sure Liza stays away from him. Meanwhile, in the elevator, Liza reluctantly let Amanda hold baby Stuart. She was overcome with emotion and admitted she misses her own child. After, a tearful Amanda leaned on Jake for support saying she feels bad about not being able to enjoy their newlywed bliss because she's so preoccupied with her dead baby.

Tad gathered some belongings for a yard sale. Krystal admitted she's worried about David's growing obsession with Liza's baby and said it's almost like he feels he's owed another child. Tad suddenly left in a hurry. Later, David knocked on the door and told Krystal his theory about Liza passing his baby off as her own. She told him he's overreacting and that people are starting to think he's a lunatic stalker.

During their waterfront stroll, Erica praised Ryan for staying true to himself and said she can't believe she never realized it before. He urged her to hand over her Bluetooth and cell phone. "Trust me, it's necessary," he grinned and took her on a relaxing sailing trip. La Kane was miffed about being disconnected from her work but tried to relax and enjoy the day, at Ryan's urging. They got to chatting and Erica admitted she's happy with her work and life, but is still looking for the right guy to spend it with. After their sailing adventure, Erica said it was the best day of her life. She was about to retrieve her cell phone from the yard when the sprinkler went off, ruining it and getting the flirty duo all wet.

Frankie, Randi, Jesse and Angie watched a news report confirming DA North's death. Randi looked especially rattled by the news and she clutched her stomach, saying she's feeling ill. Jesse assured Angie he knows nothing about North's death. He left to go to find out more and headed back to D.C. Frankie urged Randi to lie down but she left in a rush, saying she's got a conference call at Fusion. Angie pointed out to Frankie that Jesse was in D.C. at the time of North's death and she has a bad feeling that he may be involved. Meanwhile, Randi found Jesse in the hall. "What are we going to
do?" she asked. He promised her that she has nothing to worry about, reminded her it was self-defense and advised her to work out the details of her alibi.

Tad warned Liza that David's got his sights on her baby and told her that it's only a matter of time before the truth comes out. Her feathers weren't ruffled, however. She said she's confident that she and Jake would be able to come up with answers to whatever questions are thrown their way. Meanwhile, Krystal informed Jake about David's conspiracy theory about Liza, pointing out that it's not as crazy as it may seem and she knows how easy it is to switch blood tests. She demanded Jake confirm that Liza's baby is indeed Liza's.

Zach reminded Kendall that they have hope now that North is dead. She feared he was involved. He went to go make sure she won't become a suspect. In court, the prosecution asked to postpone Kendall's trial on account of North's death. The judge granted it. Jack told Kendall that North's death is suspicious and convenient for his client. She blasted him for thinking she had something to do with it her just because of what happened with Greenlee. "I ran Greenlee off the road so I ran North off the road, hell, maybe I killed Stuart, too!" she thoughtlessly spat. Jack was shocked that Kendall admitted to driving the night Greenlee died and outraged that she lied to him after all this time. He told her to find a new attorney and quit. She tearfully begged him not to leave and told him she misses Greenlee every day, adding that his life isn't the only one that fell apart after she died. Jack stormed out.

At the casino, Madison was shocked when Natalia informed her about her hubby's death. "No! Not my Henry!" she cried. She was brought in for questioning. Jesse showed up shortly after and basically weaseled his way into taking over the case by suggesting to the D.C. detective that North might have been hosting a hooker and it would be very bad press for everyone. Zach showed up just to make sure Kendall wouldn't be accused of the crime and asked what Jesse is doing helping locals, anyway. Jesse told Madison that the earrings that were found in North's won't be mentioned in
the press and they'll say he died in a car accident. She seemed pleased. Later, Zach questioned Jesse about Randi's whereabouts on the night of the crime. He claimed she never came to D.C. as planned because of her morning sickness. Zach didn't look convinced.

Jesse swiped Randi's earring from the evidence and returned home. He assured her there's no evidence to link her to the crime now and that the security footage from the hotel was missing so North must have had them removed long before Randi even arrived.

On her "carpet picnic" date with JR, Marissa ordered a treat for Little A (just like Babe used to). JR wasn't put off by the awkwardness of it and leaned in for a kiss, which David spied. Marissa ... Kendall went to inform Ryan, who was in a towel, about North's death and express her fear about being accused of the crime. She was stunned to see her mom enter the room wearing one of his shirts and drying her hair.

Madison secretly watched the missing security tape from the hotel, then summoned Zach to inform him that she found a briefcase of her husband's important files from Kendall's case, including all the dirty tricks he had planned to crucify her. She pointed out it might be of use to Zach. "You did it," he said. "You killed your husband."
