All My Children Recaps
AMC Week of October 13, 2008
Monday
Colby worried about her deposition. Erica was unhappy when Jackson arrived
and she realized he was the one who would be doing it. Jackson went over
Colby’s story with her. After listening to Adam talk to Barry, Pete wanted
to know why Adam was pushing so hard for a trial. Adam told Pete he'd outlived his usefulness. When he was alone with Colby, Pete told her that to protect her, he was going to tell Greenlee and Kendall about his part in the Bella fiasco. She insisted that he keep mum and noted that he could be very sweet sometimes. Erica ran into Jack on the back porch, where he revealed he was representing Fusion in the lawsuit.
Jack thought Erica believed he was only there because he was was jealous of
her and Adam, but he was more preoccupied with the fact that she was
spending time with the man who was causing problems for her daughter.
Aidan arrived at Greenlee's and told her he'd slept in his car, and
suggested she'd spent the night with Ryan. Aidan told Greenlee no amount of
time would make their situation any better. He said he didn't have any fight
left in him, and left. Meanwhile, Zach and Kendall hung out with Ian. She
asked how he'd convinced Annie to give up Emma. He played it off like it was
Annie's decision.
Ryan called Annie over and asked why she gave up Emma. Annie told him she
has simply accepted that her life was no place for Emma right now. Ryan told
Annie he was willing to give her scheduled supervised visits with Emma,
which infuriated her. Before she left, he told her he was going to try to
find her a place to stay. Later, Ryan explained to Emma what was happening
with him and Annie. Meanwhile, Annie went by the manse, and Adam told her he
had packed her bags. Annie asked for a few more days while she found a place
to stay. Pete offered to ask his mom, but Annie didn't think she would go
for that after Richie stayed there. Just then, a limo driver came and said
he was there to pick Annie up. He was told to bring her to her new place —
the gentleman would met her there. Annie was surprised when it was Zach who
showed up, not Ryan. Zach told her he did what he did
for Emma.
Greenlee and Kendall discovered that their office had been ransacked by investigators. They talked about Fusion and the Bella lawsuit. Greenlee told Kendall her marriage was over and about the bugged earrings. After Kendall left, Jackson came by. Greenlee told Jack the truth, that Erica was spending time with Adam in order to get information about his Fusion plans. She also told Jack that'd she kept her own Bella files. After Greenlee left, Jack stayed to look them over.
Aidan went to the site of the house he had been building, and told the men
to stop building and sent them home. He went at the framing with a
sledgehammer. At home, Ryan sent Emma off to the park with Corinna. When he
looked up, he saw Aidan sitting in his living room with a gun. Back at the
site, Greenlee saw Aidan's destruction and cried.
On her way to Fusion, Erica ran into a reporter in the elevator. She was looking for Kendall, but found Jack instead. He told her he knew she was working Adam, and apologized for coming down on her earlier.
Kendall walked into Annie's new place just in time to hear her wondering if
she should turn herself in for killing Richie.
Tuesday
Kendall was shocked by Annie's admission and by the fact that Zach had known. Zach stopped her from calling the police. Annie and Kendall sniped back and forth. Zach warned Annie never to threaten his family and threw her out. Kendall calmed down when she realized Zach had done what he'd done for Emma. Zach lit the room with candles, and they made love. After, they talked about how lucky they were.
Erica told Jack it was nice to know he still cared, and said there was nothing wrong with admitting he still had feelings for her. Just then, Carmen walked in. Erica excused herself, and Carmen asked Jack if he was still in love with Erica. He denied it, but she said she didn't believe him and left.
Adam threatened to rat Pete out, and Colby told Adam that she would turn him in if he turned Pete in. Adam told Barry he wanted him to subpoena JR — he wanted him and Babe on a flight back to Pine Valley. Erica accused him of using subpoenas to get his family back. Adam at first only conceded he wanted JR back at Chandler, but finally admitted he did miss them. Erica said they couldn't hold their kids back because they would be holding themselves back, as well. After their talk, Adam said he would take her opinion under advisement. Carmen rushed into the mansion and accused Erica of using her to play with Jack's head. Erica laid into her for repaying all the nice things she had done for her by pouncing on her husband. Carmen reminded Erica that she had asked her first before she started dating Jack. Erica said she should never have even asked. They continued to argue, and eventually it got physical. Adam broke up the fight and fired Carmen, who said she quit anyway. Before Carmen left, Erica said she had betrayed her and told her they were done. Erica thanked Adam for his help, and went to freshen up for dinner. Alone, Adam got a call from Barry letting him know JR had been served.
Down at the docks, Annie ran into Emma and Corinna. Corinna told her she wasn't allowed to let her near Emma unless it was a scheduled visit. Annie said goodbye to Emma, and they left. At the penthouse, Greenlee walked in on Aidan and Ryan and spotted the gun. Aidan handed the gun to Ryan and told him to shoot him. It wouldn't be murder, since he was already dead. He then suggested Greenlee shoot him instead, since she'd already blown his heart to pieces. With that, he rushed out the door. Tearfully, Greenlee admitted to Ryan that she'd always loved him, and they embraced. Ryan begged Greenlee to give him a chance, and kissed her. She said she couldn't do it again, and Emma and Corinna walked in, interrupting them. Emma said she'd seen her mommy. Corinna apologized, and Ryan asked her to call next time something like that happened. Greenlee left while Ryan was distracted. As Ryan looked at the empty hall, Emma called out and asked him to read her a story. When he went inside, Greenlee walked back into view.
Pete and Colby went back to his house, where they found Opal a wreck. She talked more about her visions. The doorbell was ringing repeatedly and they couldn't figure out why. Just as Pete fixed it, Annie came by and begged Pete to ask Opal to let her stay there. She told him she couldn't leave town. She had to stay near Emma because she was being stalked, and she was afraid something bad was going to happen to Emma. Opal walked in and said Annie was right to be afraid. Something terrible was coming their way. Just then the doorbell stared ringing again, but when they opened the door, no one was there.
Babe and JR were blissfully happy in San Diego. He told her he had made plans for their ceremony on the pier. A stylist came in with dresses and accessories, and a florist brought in flowers. Babe told JR she wanted to use their old rings. After everything JR had done for her, Babe told him she wanted to give him something — a new baby. He kissed and hugged her. Later, JR answered the door and opened the envelope he was handed. It was the papers from Adam — they had been served.
Wednesday
Frankie and Randi met his parents for lunch at The Comeback. Taylor happily walked in and showed them she got her papers, so she was going back to Iraq. A drunken Amanda greeted Jake and Tad. Jake congratulated Taylor. Taylor thanked Amanda for letting her stay with her, and Amanda said she wasn't sad to see her go. She apologized for offending her, but then pointed out that she never really fit into Pine Valley anyway. Randi took Amanda to the bathroom and Jake apologized for her. Frankie had to take a call from the hospital, and Taylor told Jake she was going to miss him. When Randi brought Amanda back out, Taylor offered to help Jake take her home, and they left. Aidan was there drinking. Tad struggled to get the story out of him, but Aidan said he just wanted to be left alone. Krystal told Angie and Jesse about Babe and JR's wedding. Jesse got a call and went outside, where Natalia was waiting. Natalia continued to insist that her mother needed him, and Jesse finally agreed that he would go. They would leave that night. Just then, Frankie walked out. Jesse explained that Natalia had a problem and needed some advice from the Chief of Police. With that, Natalia said goodbye. Jesse put an end to Frankie's questions by saying Natalia's problem was personal, and Frankie immediately backed off. They joined Angie and Randi inside, who were talking about Frankie's snoring. Randi and Frankie went to pick out some music, and Jesse reminded Angie how happy they should be.
Someone knocked on Greenlee's door. It was Ryan, who refused to leave until she talked to him. Greens yelled through the door for him to go away, but he broke it down. He continued to try to convince her that they should be together, and she continued to insist that they could not. Jackson came in through the open door and told Ryan to get away from his daughter. Ryan tried to explain himself, but Jack wasn't interested, and insisted he leave. Ryan finally agreed. Jack held Greenlee as she cried. She told him that her relationship with Aidan was over. Jack tried to convince her to fix it, but she told him it couldn't be fixed and rushed out.
Meanwhile, Annie was tortured by the doorbell ringing at Opal's. She begged Pete to make it stop, and when he opened the door in his pajamas they found it was Colby, not the broken doorbell. She had brought over some things that Annie left behind. Annie told them she couldn't shake the feeling of being watched, and Opal told her that's because she was indeed being watched. Opal had been watching her because she had to make sure she was okay after the dream she'd had about her. In the dream, Annie was searching for Emma, but she wasn't able to find her. Pete tried to convince her not to listen, but Opal told Annie to go to Emma. She said she needed to protect her. Annie feared that Opal's predictions would come true.
When Ryan got home, Emma was telling Corinna that she wanted to go to the park, but Corinna reminded her that the weather wasn't going to be good. Annie walked in just then and said the park wasn't safe. She asked Corinna to take Emma to the other room for a snack. Annie expressed her concern about the person stalking her, and told Ryan that Emma was in danger. Ryan said she was being paranoid, and sent her away. Emma ran in and asked why Annie left. Ryan explained that it wasn't a visiting day. Emma said if she couldn't be with her mom, she wanted to go to the park. Corinna explained that the weather wasn't going to be good, but Ryan said she could take her out anyway, if not to the park than to the movies. Emma could tell that Ryan was upset, but he just told her that he needed a nap. After they were gone, he went out.
Zach woke Kendall with breakfast. Kendall told him something was missing. She was about to tell him she wanted their boys to be there when Zach opened the door and there they were. Kendall happily greeted Spike and Ian. Since the weather wasn't great, Kendall went outside and brought back buckets full of sand. She dumped it on the floor for the boys to play with. She told Zach everything was perfect, and he said they could make it more perfect. He asked her to have another baby with him. Kendall said she wanted to wait until things calmed down to have another baby; she needed a little more time. She told him she did want another child, however; maybe a little girl this time. Zach said he would wait. Later that night, after saying goodnight to the boys, Kendall heard something on the porch, and walked outside to find Greenlee sobbing. Kendall embraced her as she said that she couldn't make it work with anyone — not Aidan or Ryan.
Taylor and Jake put Amanda in bed. Jake was surprised to see a happier side to Taylor, and remarked it looked nice on her. Back at The Comeback, Jesse told Angie he had to go away on a secret mission overnight. Annie came in and told Jesse she needed his help. She told him she was being watched and her daughter may be in danger. Jesse told her that without proof he couldn't help her. Aidan followed her out. He'd heard what she told Jesse. He said Ryan and Greenlee had driven her crazy, just like they'd done to him. Inside, Tad found a deck of cards that Krystal had bought. She told him she wanted Opal to teach her how to read them. She needed to know if her family was in danger. Tad tossed them in the garbage and insisted no one was in danger.
Ryan was pulled over for speeding. He impatiently asked the cop to hurry up and write the ticket so he could get out of there. The cop asked him to get out of the car. When he did, Ryan punched him.
Colby watched as Pete tried to fix the doorbell. Suddenly, Opal rushed out, after having her worst vision yet: total destruction. She was going to The Comeback, before it was too late.
Thursday
Adam neatened up in anticipation of JR's return. Erica arrived and expressed her disappointment in him. Babe and JR showed up, not happy. Adam tried pleasantries with JR and Babe but JR would have none of it. He called Adam out on not saying goodbye to him and then making them return home. Erica tried to diffuse the situation. From outside, someone was watching. Adam tried to apologize. Babe didn't believe him and called Adam out on his pattern of lies. JR told Adam that he didn't want his son to turn out like him. He asked Adam point blank: Would he accept Babe? Adam didn't really know what to say. JR told Adam they were leaving first thing in the morning, then stalked out. Adam broke a glass in anger. Erica assured him that JR loved him. Adam blamed his issues with his son on Babe, but admitted that he missed JR when he wasn't around. Adam told Erica she could leave, but Erica wanted to stay with him and cheer him up. Adam suggested they go to an island. Erica agreed.
Greenlee lamented her mess of a life to Kendall, who advised her to go to Ryan. Greenlee tried to think of reasons not to be with Ryan, but Kendall didn't buy it. Greens felt that she was tempting fate. Zach walked in and immediately knew that the two were discussing Ryan. As the wind picked up outside, Zach and Kendall tried to comfort Greenlee. Zach suggested Greens tell a joke. Greenlee didn't feel very funny, and when Zach offered her a drink she declined. Zach told Greenlee she had to decide what she wanted. She was afraid she'd made the wrong choice; Zach told her there were no wrong choices. After Greenlee was gone, Kendall and Zach enjoyed their time alone with the kids. Kendall went outside to get more sand for the kids to play with. She called Ryan. Erica called Kendall to tell her that she was going getting close to getting the dirt on Adam that they needed. Kendall and Zach shared a few moments of pure happiness. Zach ran out for a few minutes, but when Kendall heard the sirens and called out to Zach, he was gone.
Ryan stood over the police officer he punched. The officer's walkie-talkie came on, issuing a severe storm warning. The cop came to and arrested Ryan. Jesse arrived and told the officer that he'd handle this. Ryan said he was looking for Greenlee. Jesse said that Annie was worried Emma was in danger. Ryan confided that he didn't know what to do. Jesse warned him not to keep it all bottled in. He let Ryan off the hook. Having heard Opal's ranting earlier, Jesse wanted to shut the town down for the oncoming storm. Ryan thanked Jesse and walked off.
Opal and Petey stormed into The Comeback in a frenzy. Petey told everyone that she'd seen a black cat. She implored Krystal to shut the bar down, for death was at the door! Opal continued to cause a scene. As Tad tried to calm his mother down, she clutched her chest. Opal's pain quickly intensified. Before anyone could call 911, Opal collapsed. After Angie didn't feel a pulse, Krystal grabbed the emergency defibrillator and Frankie quickly used it on her. Opal came to. The paramedics arrived. Frankie assured Petey that he'd take care of his mother. Petey wanted to go to the hospital, but Tad told him to stay behind and take care of Colby. Krystal decided to stay with Kathy. She and Tad kissed as he left with the paramedics. Babe and JR arrived just in time for Jesse to tell everyone about the tornado watch. JR wanted to go somewhere safer but they ultimately decided to stay put. Colby and Petey left to check on Adam. Kathy and Little A played as JR and Babe told Krystal about the new life they were planning. Babe mentioned that they were considering another baby. Jesse interrupted everyone and told the worried group that the storm warning had elevated.
After calling Kendall, Erica and Adam went to leave but the power went out in the mansion. Erica gasped when she saw a figure in the darkness. She thought it was Annie's stalker. Adam grabbed a flashlight and they pursued the mystery person. They followed them to the gate house and realized that somebody had been staying there. Meanwhile, Colby and Petey arrived at the mansion and found the note Adam left for Colby. Erica and Adam heard the sirens and realized that the storm was going to be bigger than they thought. They tried to go back into the mansion, but Erica realized they were locked in!
Annie let herself into Ryan's place. She saw the movie listings and figured Emma was at the movies. Lightning struck. Annie was relieved when she found Emma and her babysitter at the movies, but scolded the babysitter for listening to Ryan's orders. When she was done letting her anger out, she realized Emma was gone. Greenlee tried to blame Emma's disappearance on the babysitter, but Annie admitted it was her fault. Annie was afraid that the "stalker" had taken Emma.
At The Comeback, Jesse was shocked when Natalia walked in. She and Jesse began to argue as Angie walked in and asked what was going on.
Elsewhere, Greenlee sat down on a bench to think. Ryan arrived. Ryan told Greenlee that the storm was a sign they should be together. Greenlee took the storm as a bad omen, and the two continued to argue. They both stopped when they saw a twister forming in the distance....
Friday
Kendall cared for the kids, and after watching a news report, she called Zach to tell him to forget the s'mores. Too late: His car was sucked up by the tornado and thrown off the road. Kendall freaked when his call went dead. Then a shocking (unseen) visitor arrived at the house. Zach woke up to find himself trapped by sparking high-voltage wires. He got nothing on cell. Annie arrived and nearly got shocked herself. She got no cell signal either, so she left to search for Emma and get him help. A wire sparked a fire near where Zach's gas tank was leaking. He slipped into the back seat and out the window just before the car exploded.
Jesse and JR worked to secure The Comeback as tornado sirens sounded. Jesse got word of twisters touching down everywhere — including at the marina and (implausibly) in the mountains. Angie criticized whoever was leaving Natalia hanging. JR and Babe comforted Little A and Kate, who wanted to stage a wedding for Babe and JR. Randi convinced Jesse to play minister, who did his best. Before Babe could say "I do," the lights went out and Kathy screamed. Babe showed Little A his magic seashell, which she promised would protect him. Jesse and JR saw power was out everywhere. Then Annie arrived to report Emma was kidnapped, and Zach was trapped in his car. Suddenly it got quiet — and then a twister hit The Comeback. Everyone tried to hang on in the intense wind, but Babe couldn't keep her grip and slipped away from JR. The bar was destroyed. After the storm passed, Krystal and Kathy were safe in a stairwell. Angie hobbled out of the debris, followed by JR and Jesse. Annie was okay, as was Randi, but Natalia was unconscious. JR uncovered a buried Babe — who was pinned by a beam with Little A trapped underneath her. Angie said the beam could not be moved because Babe suffered a severed artery, and the pressure of the beam was the only thing keeping her from bleeding out. Babe insisted the debris be moved so Little A could be rescued, no matter what that means for her.
When the twister hit, the Chandler tunnels nearly collapsed, but the door popped out because it was forced open by rubble blocking the tunnel. Upstairs, a frantic Colby revived Petey. She admitted he's growing on her. Elsewhere, a policeman found Aidan wandering alone, and asked if anyone else was with him. Zach made his way back to his destroyed house and found the boys safe under some wreckage — but no Kendall. He thought he found her trapped under a couch — but it was actually Bianca!
