Monday
Today's episode was a repeat of the February 16, 2009 episode when Kendall accidentally drives Greenlee off the road.
Tuesday
At the hospital, Jake told Amanda that David was going to be busted. Gayle
overheard and placed a call to David.
At Wildwind, David told Krystal that he wasn't going to go down for Adam's
drugging. David admitted that his vested interest in Amanda's baby is part
of why he's staying in town. When David returned, he thanked Gayle for her
message and said that he wasn't worried. Angie informed him that the
hospital board was ready for them. David testified that he hates Adam but
didn't drug him. As things got more heated, especially between Jake and
David, Gayle entered and claimed that she was the one who had drugged David.
Angie fought back nausea as Gayle confessed her love for David, citing it as
her motive. Gayle was fired on the spot. After the charges against David
were dismissed, he and Gayle had a confab and she agreed to leave town and
work for him taking care of a patient of his at a private facility, one who
needs round the clock care.
At the hospital, Liza told Jesse that she saw Kendall at the mansion on the
night of Stuart's murder.
At the courthouse, Kendall realized that both Zach and Ryan think she killed
Stuart. She burst into Zach's hearing, claiming that she is Zach's counsel.
Zach exposed her as his ex-wife and continued to insist that he is guilty.
Kendall revealed to Ryan the pact she had made with Zach about killing Adam.
JR and Scott showed up and Ryan said that Zach was being transferred to
await sentencing. Scott remained torn up over the role the valve had played
in his father's death. Jesse showed up looking for Kendall. He pressed Ryan,
who finally admitted that he and Kendall had both been at the mansion that
night. Jesse arrested him for obstruction of justice. D.A. North learned
that the ballistics report matched Zach's weapon to the bullet in Stuart.
Zach was surprised when Ryan was brought in to the station in handcuffs.
Ryan broke the news about a witness having seen Kendall at the mansion.
Kendall ran into Liza at the hospital. It was awkward, to say the least,
although Kendall still didn't know about Liza's night with Zach or her
incriminating comments to Jesse. Liza went to see Marian, who was preparing
for the funeral. Marian was distraught. Scott arrived and he and Marian
talked about the service for Stuart. JR and Liza showed their support for
Scott and Marian.
Krystal searched in vain for Marissa and was thrilled when Marissa came back
to Wildwind. Marissa explained that she had returned after hearing of
Stuart's demise. She expressed a willingness to get to know David and
Krystal. David came home and Krystal shared the good news about Marissa.
Jesse pulled Kendall away from Ian's bedside to interrogate her, telling her
that he knows she was at the mansion on the night of the killing. Kendall
stuck to her story but Jesse was dissatisfied because her story and Ryan's
conflicted. Jesse told Angie that he thinks Zach is innocent. "I think
Kendall did it," he told her.
Wednesday
At the hospital, Tad's post-surgery shenanigans continued, concerning Jake and Krystal. Krystal was shocked when Tad proposed that he and Jenny and Kathy move into Wildwind with her and David. Once alone with Jake, Tad maintained that he didn't really intend to let David get his paws on the girls.
Erica and Kendall discussed Zach's predicament in Ian's hospital room. Kendall maintained that she had nothing to hide about that night. After Erica left, Angie came in and told Kendall that Jake deserved the credit for Ian's survival. Kendall commented that if she and Zach had trusted that Ian would pull through, "Scott Chandler and Ian would still have their fathers." Kendall lamented that Zach was separated from his sons.
Liza came to the hospital to see Adam. Adam was stunned to see her. They traded barbs, especially on the topic of Colby. Colby entered and revealed to Adam that Liza had asked her to lie to Jesse on her behalf. When Erica entered, she summoned a cop, and Adam told the cop that Liza had tried to kill him. Erica divulged to Adam that Kendall was at the mansion on the night Stuart died. Adam began to weep when he realized that Stuart's funeral was imminent. Colby returned to pick up her dad. Kendall bumped into Adam in the hall and expressed her condolences. He railed at her for not stopping Zach from killing Stuart. "His blood is on your hands," ranted Adam. Kendall countered that Adam's corporate greed had almost killed her son.
At the police station, Jesse confronted Zach about the discrepancies in Zach's story. The fingerprints on the gun that killed Stuart were Kendall's, Jesse revealed. Zach denied it when Jesse theorized that Zach was protecting Kendall. Liza was upset to find Zach still at the police station and insisted to him that she hadn't threatened Adam. Liza wanted to tell Zach herself that she had incriminated Kendall. When Liza broke the news, Zach was upset that she had "thrown Kendall under the bus." He commanded her to fix it by retracting her statement. She refused. He threatened to expose her secret (that she's not really pregnant) if she didn't comply. Shortly thereafter, Jesse informed Angie that Liza had retracted her statement.
David went to see Amanda. She tried to throw him out but he was having too much fun taunting her about Jake and threatening to take her baby away from her. Tad, who had been released from the hospital, walked in alongside Krystal and Jake. Jake demanded to know what was going on. Tad and Krystal went upstairs to see Jenny while Jake told David that he was going to make sure David never got the baby. Krystal left and ran into David outside. David accused her of having fallen back under Tad's spell. Amanda remained concerned that she and Jake couldn't protect the baby from David.
Erica called Corinna and learned that Ryan hadn't checked in in a long while. She was concerned. Erica went to the jail to thank Zach for keeping Kendall safe. Zach was then led away in handcuffs to the bus to the state pen. Natalia told Erica that Ryan was being held in a downstairs cell. Erica demanded to see Ryan right away.
Kendall greeted Liza at the funeral; Liza cut the conversation short when she noticed Jesse entering. She asked Jesse what he was doing there. Jesse said he wanted to know why Liza had recanted her statement. Liza claimed that since she slept with Zach, she had wanted Kendall gone. Kendall called her a bitch and was about to slap her when Jesse intervened, telling her that she was under arrest.
Thursday
Before Stuart's funeral, Jesse arrested Kendall for Stuart's murder as Liza,
Adam and Colby looked on. Colby tried to throw Liza out but JR wanted her
there to support Marian. Kendall swore to Jesse that she's innocent.... Adam
and Marian shared a touching moment of rapprochement. Marissa arrived to pay
her respects and offered her support to a grateful Scott. Liza told Marian
that if her baby is a boy, she wants to name him Stuart. Angie greeted
Marian. To JR, Adam continued to blame himself for his brother's demise.
Adam was comforted by Little Adam's arrival. Pete tried to help Colby cope
with having to say good-bye to her uncle.
At the Martins', Jake warned Amanda against trusting Liza.
Ryan broke the news to Erica that he gave Jesse a version of what happened
the night of the shooting that conflicts with Kendall's account. Erica
informed Ryan that Liza was back and had been at the mansion that night.
Erica and Ryan became upset when Jesse hauled Kendall in. Jesse blasted Ryan
for lying to him. Erica begged Jesse to reconsider. Jesse agreed to let
Kendall see Ryan. Kendall told Ryan that Liza was to blame. Jesse released
Ryan, who promised Kendall that he would look after the boys.
Tad performed a puppet show for Jenny and Kathy. When Opal entered, Tad
insisted on attending Stuart's funeral.
Once everyone was gathered for the funeral, JR spoke movingly about his
uncle. Tad cracked everyone up when he told the story of Stuart giving away
Adam's money on his show, NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. Tad led the crowd in a
rendition of "High Hopes." Scott spoke about how Stuart had comforted him on
9/11. After the service, Liza told Ruth that she was going to stay in town.
Marissa complimented Scott on his memorial and told him to stop by the yacht
club later. Adam requested some time alone with the casket. Crying, Adam
told Stuart that he had never felt so alone in his life. When Colby returned
to Adam's side, Liza watched enviously. Erica confronted her, accusing her
of killing Stuart.
At the hospital, Ryan told Angie that Jesse had arrested Kendall and that
Kendall was innocent. Ryan vowed to prove it.
Back at the Martin house, Tad urged everyone to laugh and drink. Amanda told
Jake that she thinks she's having the baby.
Kendall was tossed into a jail cell. The occupant of the cell next to her?
Annie.
Friday
Jake raced Amanda to the hospital with labor pains. David and Jake waited
while Amanda was being examined. Jake told David that he loves Amanda and
intended to protect her. David said that he would never let a Martin raise
his child.
Krystal and Marissa chatted at the yacht club. Marissa confirmed to Krystal
that she is staying in town for now, which pleased Krystal. Krystal went to
the hospital and overheard David offering to pay Jake for Amanda's baby.
Jake refused the check but Krystal railed at her husband. David went to the
yacht club to see for himself that Marissa was staying. He told his daughter
that it was his fault that Krystal had been put in the position to sell
Marissa. David lamented how he had let his hatred for the people in Pine
Valley to dominate his life. When he returned to Wildwind, Krystal was
packing. He tried to talk her out of leaving him but she would not be
dissuaded. She took off her wedding ring and left.
Kendall was stunned to find Annie in the cell next to hers. Annie accused
her of killing Stuart. Kendall apologized for having failed to respect Annie
as Emma's mother. Annie forgave her and explained how she had come to turn
herself in. Kendall then met with her attorney, Jack. He proposed a
temporary insanity defense. She said it was tempting to agree ‹ but it would
be a lie.
Erica accused Liza of having framed Kendall for murder and of having
returned to town to kill Adam. Liza said she would never do it because she
would lose Colby forever. They traded barbs and a catfight nearly ensued
until Adam intervened. Erica said she would wait to attack Liza until after
her baby was born. Liza told Colby that she wanted to be there for her and
praised Adam for how he'd brought her up. Back at the house, Colby got upset
with Erica when Erica spoke ill of Liza to her and stormed out. Erica gazed
at a photo of Stuart. When Adam entered, Erica tried to console him,
speaking of her own mother's death. Adam thanked her for all that she had
done for him. "I guess this is where we part company," he said. Erica took
offense at his "dismissal." She asked Adam what he saw when he looked at
her. "I see a woman," he assured her, embracing her.
Jake rejoined Amanda, who'd had false labor pains. After he left, Liza went
into Amanda's hospital room, where Amanda was weeping. She told Liza that
David is her baby's father. Liza said that explained why she was so upset.
Liza saw Jake in the waiting room and blasted David for tormenting Amanda.
She told Jake that she had changed her mind about raising Amanda's baby
because she knows that David will be too relentless. Liza planned to stage a
miscarriage. They discussed how things would have been different if Adam
hadn't switched the sperm samples. Unbeknownst to them, Colby overheard, and
was understandably crushed.
Adam regaled Scott and JR with tales from his Pigeon Hollow childhood with
Stuart. Adam fought back tears as he pronounced that his brother was "the
brave one, the good one, the one who should still be alive." Adam thought he
would die soon himself. Adam apologized for pitting Scott and JR against
each other. The cousins promised to work as a team and shook hands, calling
each other brother. JR then went to the yacht club and saw Marissa, telling
her that he intended to help Scott any way he could. JR thought that Marissa
was sticking around for Scott. She denied it. When Scott entered, JR excused
himself. Scott asked Marissa to spend the afternoon hanging out, which she
was happy to do.
