All My Children Recaps

AMC Week of March 3, 2008

Monday

Erica announced in a press conference that she was going to jail. Afterward, Opal told her she was proud of her. Jack, on the other hand, wasn't happy — he quit. Samuel congratulated Erica on her press conference. Erica warned him that she was after him, but he told her that he bet one day she would support his run for Senate. Jack approached Samuel, and warned him to stay away from Erica.

Tad, Jesse and Angie realized that the stolen tapes meant someone knew Jesse was alive, and they knew that person was in town. Tad had a plan, but Jesse thought they needed to get out of town. They argued about what to do. Meanwhile, the mysterious man from the casino told someone on the phone that Jesse wasn't leaving town, and he had one up on him, because he knew about Jesse, but Jesse didn't know about him.

Ryan asked Annie to spend a little time with him. Greenlee watched and thought about their kiss. Zach brought her a drink, suspected something was up and that it was about Ryan. They decided to go, and Greenlee said she needed to stop at Fusion. Ryan and Annie sat down to talk, but Annie was testy. She told Ryan she needed to move on, and that he should consider himself a free man. As she continued to argue with him, he grabbed her and kissed her. They ended up back in Ryan's hotel room, where they made love. Later that night, Ryan had a memory of Kendall.

At Fusion, Zach rediscovered the stripper poles. Greenlee tried to get him on them. They ended up talking about Ryan. Zach warned her not to get involved. She went back to the pole and took a few spins. She slipped off and landed in Zach's arms. They awkwardly decided it was time to go home.

Kendall got out of the shower to find a fan in her room. He told her he wanted her signature — now. When she tried to pick up the phone he grabbed her. He suggested she take off her robe. Meanwhile, Aidan was at the bar with two of Kendall's fans. He noticed Kendall was running late, and called up to the room. The crazed fan ripped the phone out of the wall and grabbed Kendall again. This time she bit him. Downstairs, Aidan decided to go check on Kendall when she didn't answer the phone. Trying to calm the man, Kendall read her book to him. He closed his eyes as she read and she hit him with the book and ran, but couldn't get the door open in time. He got her back on the bed and pulled out a knife. She kicked him and grabbed her bag, pulling out mace. She sprayed it into his eyes just as Aidan came through the door and punched the man in the gut. Aidan hugged Kendall and she told him she got him.

As Tad, Angie and Jesse talked about their plans, there was a knock at the door. After Angie and Jesse hid, Tad opened the door to find the mystery man from the casino.

Tuesday

Kendall told Aidan she got her attacker. The police arrived and arrested him. After they left, Kendall thanked Aidan for coming back to check on her, and she broke down. She told him she would have killed that man before she let him rape her — for her mother, for Bianca, and for herself. After she calmed down, they talked about their lives, and wondered when trouble would stop popping up. Aidan reminded her how much good she had in her life. She asked him not to tell Zach about what happened until they got home. He agreed. She told him Greenlee was lucky to have him, and she was, too. She wondered if he did this for Greenlee as well, calming her this way. They said goodnight, but as Aidan went to leave, she stopped him. She was clearly still uncomfortable, and they decided that he should stay on the couch. She took out her phone and called home. She got the nanny, who told her Zach wasn't home, but she did get to talk to Spike and tell him how much she loved him.

The doctor told Richie his recovery could take months. Richie wanted to get out of there so he could be with Babe. Meanwhile, Babe wasn't happy that Krystal was taking care of JR, but Krystal continued to insist she believed his story. JR came in and denied everything once again, but Babe still refused to believe him. Krystal excused herself to go run some errands. After she left, they continued to argue. Richie called and interrupted. After he filled her in on his condition, she put JR on the phone so Richie could thank him. Once on the phone, Richie told JR he was grateful that he was willing to help him despite the way he felt about Babe. JR told him Babe had a habit of taking in strays, and then pretended not to be able to hear him, and hung up. Babe yelled at JR for what he did on the phone, but JR told him he loved her more than anything else in the world. Then he kissed her. He wanted to prove that she was still in love with him. She admitted that she was, but told him that loving him had gotten her nowhere. She stormed off and said to call when he was ready to grow up.

Robert Gardner introduced himself to Tad — as his uncle. Tad told him he couldn't come in right then because he was working on a case. He also told him he didn't consider Ray Gardner to be his father; he was simply a DNA donor. Meanwhile, Jesse and Angie talked. Jesse couldn't believe they were really back together. Robert told Tad he was the only family he had, and he wanted to get to know him. He gave him his number, and left. Angie and Jesse came back down and Tad told them about Robert. Alone outside, Krystal felt like she was being followed and then walked right into Robert. He introduced himself. Krystal came into the office and told them about meeting Rob, and that he gave her the creeps. Jesse again feared the danger he had put everyone in, including Tad, Krystal and their family. They decided to focus on Remy, and Angie suggested they meet with his mother, Mrs. Remington. They all agreed. Outside, Rob looked through pictures on his cell phone. He said his album was almost complete — he just needed Jesse.

Wednesday

Kendall woke up from a nightmare about her intruder, and jumped into Aidan's arms. She thanked him for staying on the couch. Aidan had bad news — Erica was pleading guilty and going to jail. Kendall called her mom, but Zach answered. He told her Erica decided not to fight the charges, but that everything was going to be fine. He added that Erica couldn't talk because she was doing an interview. After Zach hung up, he looked at Erica across the table and told her he hated lying to his wife. Erica insisted she shouldn't have talked to Kendall, because she didn't want her or Bianca coming home. Zach wondered if Erica knew what she was doing. Erica insisted she did. She told Zach she thought he should have gone to Los Angeles with Kendall, not Aidan. She asked him to take care of her business affairs while she was in prison, because she trusted him not to lie to her. He agreed, no lies between them. He went back inside, and alone, she apologized for having to keep such a big secret from him, thinking back to Kendall's confession. When he came back, she expressed how lucky Kendall was to have him. Back in L.A., Aidan told Kendall he thought she should have told Zach about the attack. Kendall insisted they couldn't tell him yet.

Ryan had a flashback of Kendall, and while Annie slept, he picked up the phone to call her. Annie woke up and interrupted him. She could tell something was wrong, and he told her he remembered something. Before he could tell her what, Annie assumed the memory was of her. She was thrilled. Ryan suggested they spend more time together with Emma, and Annie said she'd like that. She left to go shower. Alone, Ryan thought about his memory of being with Kendall in L.A. He called her, and though she said she was happy for him, she rushed off the phone, hanging up on him. When Annie came out of the bathroom, Ryan was writing down what he remembered; he didn't want to forget again. She kissed him goodbye and left for work. Ryan worked out while he waited for Kendall to call him back.

Greenlee, Babe and Amanda talked about hiring an assistant. They interviewed several unimpressive candidates. After, Babe filled Amanda in on the situations with Richie and JR. A perky Annie walked in, and Greenlee wondered why she was all smiles. Annie admitted she had been with Ryan the night before. She told them that after, Ryan had remembered something about her. Greenlee walked away, wondering to herself why Ryan remembered Annie and not her.

Samuel Woods met with Adam at the mansion. Adam told Samuel that he was impressed with him, and wanted to help with his campaign. Samuel thought he really called him there because of Erica, and he thought Adam wanted to know if he was being investigated as well. He assured Adam they hadn't found out anything on him — yet. Just then Colby and Dre walked in. Dre's eyes landed on Samuel: "Dad?" Samuel stood up and said it had been a long time. Dre left the room, and Samuel followed him out. Colby yelled at Adam, who insisted he was just trying to be nice to Dre. Outside, Dre asked his father what he was doing there. Samuel said he was there for work, but he also wanted to see him. He missed him. He wanted to know what he could do to make things better. Dre reminded him that he wasn't there for him after his mother died, and they both left. Colby was annoyed when she couldn't find Dre and blamed Adam. Adam got a business call that he said he had to take, so Colby left. She listened at the door, though, and heard Adam tell someone that he thought he was in the clear, but just in case, he wanted to him to find out everything he could on Samuel and his son.

Zach said goodbye to Erica, and she ran into Samuel, to whom she made a snide remark before blowing past. Zach called Aidan to check in as Kendall signed books. He told Zach there had been no sign of Ryan. Meanwhile, Ryan was tired of waiting for Kendall to call back, so he booked a flight to L.A.

Thursday

Tad and Jesse talked about the investigation. They both agreed Remy was the key. Tad pointedly asked if Jesse knew anyone who would fill in some blanks about Remy. At the hospital, Frankie told Angie that he remembered Remy. Frankie told her he wanted to help with the investigation, but Angie insisted he stay out of it.

Opal bristled when Krystal introduced her to Robert. She went off on a tirade of Ray's evil deeds. Robert told her he had suffered at Ray's hands as well. He said he would leave, but Opal apologized for assuming he was like his brother, and even offered to let him hold Jenny. He did, and he told them he'd like to stay in town. He pointed out the newspaper headline about Remy's murder. Opal began telling Jesse and Angie's story. Tad walked in, and immediately asked what Rob was doing in his house. Opal told Tad that he was wrong about Rob. She also told him she had been telling him all about Jesse and Angie, which riled Tad even more. Opal took Rob into the kitchen to help with dessert, and once they were alone, Tad begged Krystal to take Jenny and leave Pine Valley. Krystal said she wasn't going anywhere. Tad got a call and rushed out, saying they had the first lead.

Annie and Babe talked about the situation with JR. Annie suggested it was possible he was telling the truth this time. Babe filled her in on Richie getting the transplant, and Annie said she was happy for him. Babe told Annie that she and Richie were just friends, but Annie warned her that Richie would do whatever he had to do to get what he wanted. Meanwhile, JR almost collapsed in front of Colby. She insisted they go to the hospital. At the hospital, Joe checked him out. JR told him he started feeling sick after he was kidnapped. Joe asked if he was drinking again. JR insisted he wasn't — but someone was trying to make it look like he was. Joe had a hard time believing his tale.

Richie told his doctor he was ready to get out of there. The doctor didn't think he was ready yet. After he left, Trina, the woman he hired to set up JR, came in, suggesting they hook up. She teased him about Babe, and he got angry, grabbed her and twisted her arm. He warned her that she didn't know what he was capable of. When he let her go, she ran out. Richie got up to leave. The doctor tried to stop him, insisting he still needed hospital care. Richie said he knew a good one.

Colby asked Frankie how his first week at the hospital was going. She was excited to be volunteering, and asked if he needed any help. He blew her off and walked away. Later, Colby tried talking to him again, but Frankie told her he didn't have time for distractions. Jesse showed up at the hospital disguised as a doctor, and told Angie he needed to find out more about Remy. She looked up his mother's address in the hospital computer, and Jesse was going to go check it out. Angie insisted she had to be the one to go. Jesse agreed, as long as she took Tad with her. Joe approached Frankie, and told him they were doing a new program where interns were paired with a volunteer to assist them. He was being paired with Colby.

Annie called Richie and left him a message congratulating him on getting the bone marrow transplant. Meanwhile at the hospital, Richie said hello to JR as he was wheeled past his room.

Tad escorted Angie to Mrs. Remington's house. Angie went to the door by herself and Mrs. Remington answered. Meanwhile, someone watched Tad from a tree. Back at Tad and Krystal's, Rob excused himself. After he was gone, Opal told Krystal that Rob was a good man. Outside, Rob got a call saying Tad and Angie were at the Remington house. Rob said that meant Jesse was alone, and that things were going well so far. Jesse sat in Tad's office by himself. He had a flashback of paper birds. Standing in front of Tad's, Rob held a paper bird.

Friday

At ConFusion, Greenlee complained to Zach about Aidan being away with Kendall, and about Ryan remembering Annie and not her. She accidentally let it slip that she had kissed Ryan, and he kissed her back. She said she was only trying to jog his memory, but admitted she felt something when she kissed him. Greenlee confessed that she tells Zach things she would never tell Aidan. Zach thought that was fine, as he did the same thing with her. They toasted to understanding each other. Greenlee excused herself to head back to Fusion. Zach called Kendall and left her a voicemail telling her he loved her.

Kendall told Aidan how worried she was about Erica. Aidan ordered room service for them, which came with a violinist. Aidan quickly sent the violinist away, and said he hadn't meant for it to be a romantic meal, just dinner. They sat down and chatted, and Kendall told Aidan she thought he could be a great poet. He recited a poem for her, and Kendall insisted he had to share it with Greenlee. They talked about her relationship with Zach, and her former relationship with Ryan. She also gave him advice on Greenlee. Meanwhile, Ryan arrived at the hotel and tried to convince the woman at the front desk to give him Kendall's room number by saying he was going to propose. She walked away to take care of something, and Ryan tried to get on the computer to figure out Kendall's room. Instead, he found a picture of himself, with instructions to contact Aidan if he was seen in the hotel. The woman came back and caught him behind the desk. He made up an excuse, but she was ready to call security. He stopped her by pulling out a picture of him and Kendall, and then of Spike. He told her he wanted to give Spike a family. Back in Kendall's room, they were getting a little tipsy from the champagne, and began joking around. Kendall pushed Aidan on the bed, tickling him. She fell on top of him, just as Ryan burst in. He demanded to know what was going on.

Angie went into Mrs. Remington's house, while Tad waited outside. Angie told her she was sorry about John's death. Mrs. Remington wasn't interested in Angie's kind words, because Angie had broken her son's heart. Angie insisted she never meant to hurt him. Mrs. Remington pulled out a rifle and pointed it at Angie. She told her she knew she came with backup, and she wanted to know why she was really there. Jesse walked out of Tad's office, and someone grabbed him from behind. It was Frankie, who wanted to make sure Jesse didn't leave the office. Tad had sent him there to make sure he stayed put. Jesse called Tad, who told him Angie was inside talking to Mrs. Remington. Jesse was furious that he had let Angie go in by herself. Tad told Jesse to trust him, but just then Angie and the gun-toting Mrs. Remington came out, looking for Tad. Tad was able to talk her down by explaining he could understand her feelings, since his wife had been murdered. He said they just wanted to help solve John's murder. She told them both to come back in with her. They all went in, and Rob's guy snuck closer to the house. Inside, Mrs. Remington told them about the last time she saw John — he had given her a lot of money, and a necklace. She also told them her house had been broken into soon after John disappeared. As they got ready to go, Mrs. Remington brought them old papers and letters of John's. They thanked her for her help, and left. When they got out, Tad said they had to get back to the car as quickly as possible — they were being watched.

Back at the office, Jesse again tried to convince Frankie to let him leave, but Frankie reminded him how hard it was to lose him the first time. He angrily told him he wasn't good at anything, implying it was because Jesse hadn't been there to teach him. Jesse apologized again for leaving him behind, and Frankie let him show him how to play one of the games in Tad's office. After, Jesse promised not to leave, and convinced Frankie to go home. He opened the door to let him out, and there stood Rob, who promptly introduced himself and asked who Jesse was.
