All My Children Recaps

AMC Week of March 15, 2010

Monday

At Fusion, Greenlee was ready to hammer out a deal with Erica. "You're going to need a big hammer," commented Madison. Randi entered and said she saw Erica downstairs eating at ConFusion. When an angry Greenlee left, Randi called Madison on her loyalty to Greenlee. Jackson found Erica at ConFusion and asked what she was doing. Erica was keeping everyone waiting, calling it a negotiation tactic. Greenlee came down to greet Erica but kept her cool. Together, the three went upstairs.

At the Chandler mansion, Adam went to take his pills when it appeared he was suffering a heart attack. Adam opened his eyes to see David standing above him. "Looks like you're a dead man," David remarked. Ryan nearly walked in on them but Emma prevented him from doing so. Then, David grabbed Adam and dunked his head in the water in the ice bucket. David pulled back from drowning Adam and said they needed to talk. Just then, Annie knocked and found the door was locked. David advised Adam to focus on his family and offered his medical expertise. Adam wanted to know what was in it for David. David responded that he needs sanctuary from the Martins, and advised Adam to change his diet and above all, no sex for the time being. Meanwhile, a frantic Annie recruited Scott and he busted through the door. Adam was alone and said he was just asleep. Annie wanted to get amorous but Adam told her, "Not tonight," and walked out. Annie told Scott that Adam wasn't tired. "This is about Brooke English!" she exclaimed. Just then, Brooke arrived at the mansion, bag in hand. Annie put her jealousy aside and appeared grateful to Brooke for everything she has done. Brooke wasn't buying Annie's act and laid it on the line that she would be acting as JR's eyes and ears in the mansion. Brooke then had Scott help her with her bag while Annie glared. Meanwhile, Adam found David in the attic. "Welcome to my office," David smiled.

At the PVPD, Opal was checking on Tad, who was ready to take Damon home with him. Damon was grateful but Opal and Jesse were concerned. When Damon brought up the subject of his dad, Tad said they had to have a talk. "Why would my mom stay away from Pine Valley because of you?" Damon asked as Tad started to explain. Tad revealed his past with Hillary, but Damon got the call to report for his community service. After Damon left, Jesse told Tad that he was convinced Damon was Tad's kid. Jesse then took the cup Damon was holding and suggested a DNA test.

Erica, Greenlee and Jack arrived at Fusion. Erica said, "Let's do this in my office." When Erica opened her office door, she found Greenlee's things there. "I thought we'd change things up," Greenlee smiled. "I didn't think you'd mind." Their civility went promptly out the window. Jackson suggested they share the space. "No!" both women replied. Jack tried to mediate, to no avail. He then suggested a competition. Erica didn't like the idea but Greenlee did. In fact, she upped the ante: Whoever's new cosmetics line was more successful wins control of the company. Opal arrived and advised Erica against a competition but Erica went for it. Jackson declared that resources and staff would be split 50/50, and the winner takes the company and the loser takes a walk. After Greenlee and Jackson left, Erica told Opal that Greens just handed her the company on a silver platter. In the hall, Greenlee thanked her father for his assistance, and added that she was not getting an annulment from David.

Ryan took Emma to ConFusion, where Madison asked if he was really over Greenlee. She apologized for her frankness but Ryan said it was okay. Ryan then asked Madison to join them. Later, Emma saw Greenlee enter and ran over and hugged her. Greenlee promised to come by and visit soon. Then, Greens told Madison about the upcoming changes and asked Madison to be on her team.

Tuesday

Tad, Krystal, Opal and the girls had breakfast. Damon arrived, having fixed a broken toy. Damon said he was off to the hospital to perform his community service. Before Damon left, Tad read him the riot act and sternly warned him not to mess up this second chance. Opal and Krystal wondered why Tad was so tense. Once alone, Tad confided to Krystal that Damon could be his son. She was shocked. Tad explained his last encounter with Hillary, and that she's not returning his calls. Tad added that he didn't share this possibility with Liza. Just then, Liza arrived and Krystal excused herself. Tad made a hasty retreat, and Liza went to Krystal and asked what was going on. Krystal played dumb and Liza left. Afterward, Opal warned Krystal to watch out for Liza.

At the PVPD, Angie told Jesse that she may have to fire their son. She pointed out that Frankie needs to do really well in his next procedure or she'd be accused of nepotism by keeping him on-staff. Jesse assured her that Frankie would do fine.

At the hospital, Randi met Frankie. She was concerned that he was in pain. Frankie said he couldn't take his meds before a procedure, then changed the subject to her job. They kissed and Randi left for work. Angie arrived and tried to reassure Frankie that he'd do fine. Frankie still blamed himself for losing a patient earlier in the year. Angie was then paged to the E.R. Frankie contemplated taking a pill outside the O.R., but didn't.

At Fusion, Greenlee warned Madison to choose her allies wisely. "It's either me or Erica," Greens warned. Madison pointed out that Erica helped her during a tough time. Randi arrived, and Greenlee made a crack about Randi making her own hours.

In the Chandler attic, Adam brought David some breakfast. Halfway through eating it, David wondered if Adam poisoned his food. Adam blamed David for the drugging which led to Stuart's shooting. David blamed Adam's doping on Gayle, who was obsessed with David. He freely admitted that he was a bastard but vowed he could correct Adam's heart problem, if given the chance. David then stated that what happened to Stuart was a tragic accident, but he was not the one to blame. Adam began to have another episode. David stabilized him, then David ordered a steak for lunch.

Tad went to the hospital with a peace offering for Damon: a chocolate bar. He apologized for coming down so hard on the teen earlier. The guys then had a nice chat, and Tad opened up about his past. After their warm conversation, Tad left and accidentally said, "See you at home, son." Then, Tad went to collect his DNA test results.

Greenlee received a text message summoning her to the Chandler mansion. Adam had no idea what she was doing there, then realized he'd left his cell phone up in the attic. When he ran to fetch it, David appeared to Greenlee. "Miss me?" he smiled. They quickly caught up, and David disappeared before Adam returned. When Adam asked, "Where is he?" Jesse arrived, looking for David. Jesse ordered a lockdown. Greenlee quickly stated that they were just having a meeting, as Adam was going to invest in Fusion. Adam confessed that David was there earlier, but he stole some money and ran off. Jesse then asked for permission to search the property.

After the procedure, Frankie won raves for his performance. Angie was thrilled and called it a huge step forward for her son. Alone, Frankie threw his pills in the trash. Later, while emptying the receptacle, Damon found the pills and slipped them in his pocket. Angie witnessed the act.

Wednesday

Tad opened the DNA test results and confirmed to Krystal that Damon is his son. Tad was furious with Hillary for keeping his boy from him. Krystal was confident that Tad would find a way to get through to Damon.

Damon tried to convince Angie that he wasn't swiping the pills. Angie decided to go easy on him after seeing Frankie's name on the prescription bottle. She left an urgent message for her son. Damon then requested time alone with Tad and told him about what had happened with Angie. Tad agreed to talk to Angie, then left an infuriated message for Hillary. As promised, Tad spoke with Angie about Damon. Frankie then approached Angie, who confronted him with the pills and chastised him for disposing of them so carelessly. Damon was jealous when Frankie and Angie shared a warm moment.

At ConFusion, Ryan told Jake that he just bought the casino. Jake was stunned to find that a provocatively dressed Amanda was working at ConFusion. Jake had a bad reaction to a patron who hit on Amanda. They chatted about her desire to return to work and Jake warmed to the idea. Ryan approached Madison, who was convinced that Greenlee was about to fire her. When she explained her predicament (she'd failed to confirm a location for Greenlee's upcoming shoot), he offered use of the casino. Madison then suggested to Amanda that she pitch herself to Greenlee as the new face of Fusion. Madison and Ryan went to the casino, where she expressed shame about her past behavior there. Ryan told Craig, the casino manager, to assemble the staff for a meeting.

At the Chandler mansion, Jesse entered the tunnels in search of David, much to Greenlee's chagrin. Greens threatened to take down Adam if David got caught. In the attic, David evaded detection by one of Jesse's men. Jesse warned Greenlee that he was going to find David, no matter what it took. Adam excused himself to take a nap. Greens went up the attic and found David. He kissed her a little too sincerely, then downplayed its significance to Greenlee, who left. Madison went to Fusion to deal with Greenlee and the change of location; Greens got into Madison's vision for the shoot at the casino (even fantasizing about herself and Ryan together at the casino). David went downstairs and told Adam that he wanted him to get the charges against him dropped before slipping back into the tunnels.

Jesse told Tad that he was going off in search of Hillary.

Thursday

Jack brought papers to Erica for her signature. The old chemistry was burning strong when Erica made a vindictive comment about Greenlee. Randi informed Erica that Greenlee had changed the location of her photo shoot. Erica phoned Val and told him to get the casino manager on the phone. Erica was stunned to learn that Zach had sold the casino to Ryan.

Angie and Krystal discussed Tad's discovery that Damon is his son. Angie caught Damon fooling around with a cute hospital volunteer in a closet. She gave him a talking-to. Krystal then confided in Angie that she thinks Liza feels threatened by her.

Liza came to see Tad, who was about to leave for Ohio. Liza broke the news that Hillary had gone to Europe for an undisclosed length of time. Tad was upset with Liza for interfering. Liza was stunned when Tad divulged that Damon is his biological son. Liza was jealous when Tad admitted that he'd told Krystal before telling her. The conversation ended badly. Liza left and phoned Damon to cancel their lunch. He was bummed and confided in Colby. Krystal got home and Tad ranted to her about the Damon/Hillary/Liza situation. Colby confronted Liza at ConFusion about why she'd ditched Damon. Liza told her daughter to stay away from Damon. Angie threatened to call Damon's parole officer if his attitude didn't improve.

David gave Adam a check-up and asked Adam if he'd thought about the deal he proposed. “The answer is no,” said Adam, explaining that David was asking for too much. Annie tried to enter; Adam covered. David warned Adam that Adam needed David's medical services. David left and Annie entered, insisting that she'd heard another voice. Heeding David's medical advice, Adam resisted Annie's advances, deepening her insecurities. In the morning, Annie reeled when she encountered Brooke in the parlor and Brooke elaborated all the changes she had made to Adam's diet (via a chat with Lucretia) to safeguard his health. Annie tried to one-up Brooke by serving him the foods that he likes. When Annie left the room, Adam asked Brooke to keep Annie busy. Annie went into the tunnels, convinced that Brooke is after Adam. David was forced to take cover. Brooke pressed Adam to admit to her that he's got health problems that he hasn't disclosed. Annie overheard the tail end of Adam and Brooke's conversation and it supported her theory that Adam was cheating on her.

Greenlee and Madison arrived at the casino. Greens was impressed and told Madison that she still had a job. Ryan sidled up and told Greens that he was the casino's new owner. Ryan and Greenlee managed to have a nice conversation. Erica called Ryan to dig for info on the photo shoot. Greens grabbed the phone away and the ladies snipped at each other. Post-call, Ryan advised Greenlee against fighting with everyone for her own happiness. She praised David to Ryan for saving her life. Meanwhile, Jack defended Greenlee to Erica. Jack and Erica continued their flirtation and came close to kissing.

Friday

Tad and Krystal had a heart-to-heart about Damon being his son, Liza's reaction, and what to do next. Krystal told Tad Liza about Liza's jealousy of the relationship Tad and Krystal share. Krystal said, "Liza has fallen hard," referring to her love for Tad. Tad tried to deny it, claiming that they're just friends, and said he couldn't deal with this now in the wake of discovering he has a son with Hillary. After he had an argument with Angie, Damon came back to the house to have lunch. Tad basically advised Damon to buck up and do his job because it's his only way out of the mess he created. Tad informed Damon about his parents having left the country for an extended trip and offered to track them down. Damon refused and left upset. Liza warned Colby to stay away from Damon. Colby didn't understand why her mother was so against Damon. Liza blamed it on Damon being damaged goods thanks to his parents. After some arguing, Liza admitted to her faults as a parent, apologized, and the two had a nice mother-daughter moment.

Annie came close to finding David in the tunnels, but became scared and ran into the room where Adam and Brooke were having a private conversation. Annie tried to find out what they were trying to keep her in the dark about, but Adam told her it was about business and questioned why she was in the tunnels. Annie came up with a long-winded excuse and Adam left to go see JR. Brooke accused Annie of spying, which Annie quickly denied. Brooke offered up the idea that the two of them should begin work on Tempo. As Brooke explained her vision for the cover, Annie imagined Brooke and Adam conspiring to get her out of his will.

At the hospital, Angie came into JR's room without a mask, which was good news for JR. She informed him that the transplant was successful, but he still needed to rest. Upon his arrival at the hospital, a joyful Adam asked JR to move back into the mansion when he leaves the hospital. JR agreed, talking about it being his second chance and how he wasn't going to let anyone or anything ruin it for him, including Annie. This infuriated Adam, causing him to tell JR that he should be grateful to Annie. JR demanded to know what Adam was talking about. Angie came in to stop the fight. Outside JR's room, Angie expressed concern over Adam's health, but Adam refused to say anything about his chest pains.

Back at the Chandler mansion, David overheard Annie confiding in Scott. Annie then received a phone call from JR, who wanted her to come to the hospital alone. Adam returned to the mansion to tell David to leave. David confessed to what he heard Annie say about her merit trust to Scott and told Adam his wife was two-faced. The news was so upsetting to Adam it caused him to have severe pains in his chest. David tried to convince Adam that he needed to have him around. David offered to give him medical attention, but more importantly he could keep Adam aware of everything going on in the mansion.

After a short verbal standoff between Liza and Krystal, Liza apologized to Tad for going to Hillary. The two hugged, but Tad pulled away. He told her he couldn't continue to walk on eggshells around her because of her jealousy. He suggested they cool things down. Colby assured Damon she would get her father to find him a different job at the hospital, but Angie overheard and said there would be no preferential treatment for Damon. Damon, feeling abandoned, stole a bottle of pills from a cart. Angie noticed him walking away and yelled to him to stop.

At the hospital, JR informed Annie he would be moving back into the mansion, but first he had some ground rules to lay down. JR continued to press her buttons, calling her a liar. Finally, she yelled, "I saved your life!" JR, still confused, pressed the issue. Annie stunned JR when she said, "I was your bone marrow donor. If it wasn't for me, you'd be dead."
