AMC Week of October 20, 2008
Monday
In the wreckage of the tornado, Aidan told a ranger that he wasn't leaving without his wife. He found Greenlee in the rubble and helped her up. "Where's Ryan?" she cried. Aidan looked crushed but began to search for his rival. Together, Aidan and Greens freed Ryan from the rubble that he was trapped behind. Greens thanked Aidan and told him that she'd never meant for "any of this" to happen. Aidan didn't want to hear it; Ryan suggested that
perhaps he needed to. As the sirens blared, another twister approached. The trio ran for safety. This time, Aidan was pinned down, near a live electrical pole. Aidan told Ryan to take Greenlee and go. Ryan refused and lifted the pole just in time to spare Aidan's life.
At The Comeback, Angie warned that the pressure from the beam was the only thing stopping Babe from bleeding to death and she sought to stabilize Babe, who was hysterical over Little Adam (the boy was trapped beneath her). Krystal and JR were distraught. Babe wanted to save the boy over herself and she begged JR to make the call. JR wept at the prospect of living without Babe, who promised to fight for her life.... Jesse assured an injured Natalia that help was on the way. Annie tried to keep Kathy calm in the
stairwell.... The group moved the beam and got Little A to safety.... Annie begged Jesse to find Emma.... Babe lost consciousness as Angie tried to sew up her ruptured artery. Angie warned that she was losing blood at a very rapid clip. Babe's pulse weakened. Babe asked to say good-bye to her son and she told the boy that she would always be with him in his heart. The group prayed as another twister approached. The tornado bypassed them, but after,
Angie announced that Babe's heart had stopped.
There was chaos at the hospital in the wake of the twister. Tad was sickened by the death of a female who'd been in the twister's path. A cop handcuffed Tad to stop him from going out into the storm. Opal was surprised to see Tad 'cuffed to the chair. Jesse got to the hospital and told Tad and Opal the bad news about Babe. Tad raced to the Comeback and had a happy reunion with Kathy. Tad's joy was short-lived, though, when he saw the dire condition of
the bar and Angie's desperate attempts to revive Babe. "I got a pulse!" Angie cried.
In the tunnels of the Chandler manse, Adam and Erica tried to conserve their remaining oxygen. La Kane suggested that if the end truly was upon them, he should be honest with her about his feelings for her. Adam denied having takeover plans for Fusion when Erica called him out on it. Erica denied to Adam that she was falling for him. After a coughing fit, Adam told Erica that he had a confession to make. "I tainted Babe's bargain-basement perfume," he said, "so that Fusion would be ripe for the picking." Erica's
jaw dropped.
In what remained of the beach house, Zach dug through the rubble and unearthed a surprise: Bianca! She came to and when Zach helped her to her feet, he got another shocker: She was majorly pregnant. Zach found Kendall unconscious and tried to revive her. Medical help arrived to spirit Kendall to the hospital. The workers agreed to take the boys as well. Once alone, Zach asked Bianca why she hadn't revealed her pregnancy earlier. Binks explained that "they" had wanted to make sure everything was okay before
sharing the news. Bianca asked Zach why he had agreed to sire her baby. He explained that having dinner with Reese and Bianca had changed his mind. Zach clearly was struggling to absorb that he was thisclose to becoming a dad again. Bianca and Zach hoped that Kendall would take the news well. At the hospital, Frank went to work on Kendall, who took a major turn for the worse. "Code blue!" barked Frankie. He worked frantically to stabilize her.... Bianca went into labor.
Tuesday
Greenlee and Ryan tended to an injured Aidan. The tension between Greenlee, Aidan and Ryan was palpable. Medics took Aidan away. Before Greenlee followed, Ryan said, "We have to tell him. You know that."
In the Chandler mansion tunnels, Adam confessed to Erica that he had tainted the Bella. Erica was understandably horrified. She called him a blood-sucking weasel. Adam explained that he had wanted to teach Babe and JR a lesson. Erica realized that Adam thought they were going to die. Erica refused to give up, motivated by a desire to make Adam pay for what he had done. When the candle's flame enlarged, Erica was delighted because it signaled an influx of oxygen. A hand suddenly grabbed Erica from the other side of the cave-in just before more rocks came crashing down. Adam and Erica were both unconscious as the mysterious hand made another appearance.
At what was left of the Comeback, Angie made it clear that Babe needed to get to the hospital immediately if she had a shot at surviving. At the hospital, Frank determined that Kendall needed emergency surgery. He told Pete and Colby to look for Kendall's relatives. Pete tried to find out what happened to Adam's plane and reported to Colby that Adam's jet had been destroyed. The Comeback crew arrived with Babe. Annie continued to try to get someone to take seriously that Emma had been kidnapped. Krystal and JR wept together as Colby reunited with her family and heard the bad news about Babe. JR got the update on Adam and claimed not to care, noting that it was Adam's fault that Babe got hurt (and wasn't safely in San Diego). Tad and Kathy prayed together in the waiting room. Aidan (whose arm was broken) arrived and heard about Babe from Tad. Greenlee and Ryan lingered in the distance. Frank informed Greenlee and Ryan that Kendall needed brain surgery. Frank and Randi had a tender reunion. Annie ran to Ryan with the news about Emma's abduction. "Someone has our little girl!" she cried. JR and Krystal shared a private moment in an empty hospital room; she tried to keep his flagging spirits up. "We cannot give up now," Krystal declared. Greenlee got more info about Kendall from Joe. Greens was surprised to hear that Zach was stuck at the beach house with a pregnant woman.... Ryan took the news about Emma more seriously when Corrina showed up without the girl, reporting that she couldn't find her.... Adam's pilots materialized at the hospital and told Colby that Adam had never shown up at the airport.... Tad brought Little Adam in to see JR. Angie entered and Tad took Little A into the hallway so that Angie coud give Krystal and JR an update. Angie warned the duo to prepare themselves for the worst. "She's not going to make it," Angie told them gently.... Jake convinced Joe to let Greenlee visit Kendall. At Kendall's bedside, Greens told her unconscious friend that she would pull through. Frank showed Jake Kendall's cranial X-Rays. Jake didn't think brain surgery could wait and volunteered to do the surgery himself.... Annie thought she figured out where Emma might be: in the tunnels of the mansion. She took off to go find her child.... Jesse told Pete and Colby that he couldn't spare any officers to find Adam. Pete promised Colby that he would find her father.... Krystal, JR and Tad went to see a very weak Babe. "I love you, Mama," Babe murmured. She asked to speak to JR alone. JR told Babe that she was going to be all right. "Marry me tonight," she responded.... Jake, Frank and Joe asked Greens to give consent for Kendall's surgery. She expressed anxiety about making a choice that could kill her friend.... Angie found Jesse at Natalia's bedside. He told Jesse that Nat needed an operation but needed consent forms signed. "I'll sign them," Jesse said. "She's my daughter." Angie was stunned.
At the wreckage of the beach house, Bianca went into labor. She asked Zach if he was mad at her for not revealing her pregnancy earlier and giving him a chance to explain to Kendall that he is the child's biological father. "I could never be mad at you," he assured her. Zach and Bianca discussed her wonderful partner, Reese, and the weekend they had all spent together in Versailles, which is when Zach had agreed to be their sperm donor. Binks's water broke. Zach helped Bianca through a difficult birth. "It's a beautiful little girl!" exulted Zach. He held the baby up to the sky.
Wednesday
JR and Krystal visited with Babe in her hospital room. JR and Babe agreed that they would wed immediately; JR went off in search of a minister; Krystal stayed behind and Babe told Krystal that she knew she was going to die. Babe made Krystal promise to watch over Little Adam... In the hallway, JR interrupted a chat between Pete, Colby and Opal and insisted to Colby that he didn't care about Adam's whereabouts. JR instructed Colby to keep
Adam away from the wedding if she managed to find him. Opal stayed with Little Adam so Pete and Colby could go search for Adam and Erica. They headed straight for the mansion's tunnels.
Angie was floored when Jesse told her that he was Natalia's father. Tad was the next person Jesse hit with the news. After Nat's operation, Angie told Jesse that Nat had survived surgery and could recover. She told Jesse that she didn't know what else to say to him. Jesse reiterated that he was sorry for keeping the truth from her. Frank picked up on Angie's frayed nerves and tried to get his mom to sit down for a minute. She complied, then brought Frank to Nat's bedside and broke the news to him that Natalia was Frank's sister, Jesse's daughter by the caretaker he met when he was in the psych ward.
JR sought out Tad and wept to him about Babe's impending death. "What am I supposed to do?" he cried. Tad advised JR to tell Babe how much he loves her and to hold her tightly.... JR brought Little A to see his mama. She serenaded him with "You Are My Sunshine."
Ryan and Annie frantically searched for Emma in the tunnels at the Chandler manse. Annie found an item of clothing belonging to Emma. Ryan vowed to Annie that they would dig through the wreckage until they found their daughter.
Greenlee was stunned when Zach, Bianca and the baby arrived at the hospital. Zach demanded to know where Kendall was; with difficulty, Greens broke the news that Kendall's prognosis wasn't good. Zach raced to her bedside and Jake told Zach that Kendall's skull fracture required emergency surgery.... Binks flashed back to surprising Kendall at the beach house. Kendall had done her best to safeguard Binks from the storm but Bianca had not gotten the chance to tell her who the father was.... Greenlee went to see Bianca outside of the nursery and as Binks snuggled with her newborn (who received a clean bill of health), Greens asked, "Who's the father?" Zach strolled up and when another twister threatened to strike, he raced off to protect
Kendall.
Krystal lashed out at Opal, blaming her visions for Babe's imminent death. Opal understood the outburst, reminding Krystal that she knows what it is to lose a child. Krystal wept in her mother-in-law's arms before returning to Babe's bedside. JR returned and told Babe how beautiful she looked. Krystal excused herself.
Another tornado prepared to strike; everyone took cover.
Thursday
With Ryan in the Chandler mansion tunnels, Annie was frantic with worry over Emma. They kept plugging away on clearing a path through the debris. On the other side of the cave-in, Erica regained consciousness and called out for Adam, who also stirred. Erica denied to Adam that she had been worried about him. He prodded her to admit that she loves him.... Pete and Colby continued to search for Erica and Adam. Someone struck Pete from behind.... Ryan, Annie, Pete and Colby got to Adam and Erica. Ryan broke the bad news that Kendall was injured. Adam told Annie that she was right: There was a stalker in the tunnels and had been for some time. Just then, someone walked into the hospital chapel and saw Babe dead in JR's arms: David Hayward.
At the hospital, Frank was stunned when Angie said that Natalia was his sister. Zach rushed Bianca to safety as another tornado siren blared.
Krystal, Tad, Little Adam and Kathy took cover. Zach took off to find Kendall as JR climbed into Babe's hospital bed. Jake urged Kendall, on whom he was performing surgery, to hang on. Zach protected Greenlee as the hospital was hit by a twister. Joe told everyone to stay calm as Jesse summoned more help. Docs warned Jake that without power, they'd have to stop the surgery, but Jake insisted on continuing. Zach interrupted the surgery to demand answers about what was going on with his wife. Kendall began to crash. Jake told Zach to get out and finished the surgery. Just then, Kendall went into a seizure. Angie praised Frank for saving Natalia's life, then noticed that his hand was badly lacerated. She told Frank that he needed to have it looked at by a specialist once things calmed down. Frank struggled to absorb that Jesse had lied to them about his other family... Taylor arrived and went to work with Jesse on restoring power to the generator. They succeeded; Joe and Jesse thanked Taylor.
Earlier, Babe made it clear to JR that she knows she's dying. As Krystal watched nearby, Babe instructed JR to go on living and to be a good daddy to Little Adam. JR carried Babe into the hospital chapel, where they exchanged heartfelt, difficult words of love and devotion. JR wept when, after thanking him for loving her and promising never to stop loving him, Babe passed away in his arms.
Binks cradled the new baby. Greenlee updated her on Kendall's condition.
Zach joined them. Watching Zach, Bianca and the baby together, Greenlee had a sudden realization. "You're the father, aren't you?" Bianca reluctantly confirmed her suspicions. Greens reeled from the news that not only was Zach the sperm donor but that Bianca hadn't told Zach or Kendall. Jake told Zach and Greenlee that he had bad news.
Krystal wept to Tad about the imminent loss of her daughter. "When she's gone, I won't know who I am anymore," she cried. Tad assured his wife that he would remember and that he would help her.
Frank and Angie questioned Natalia about her and her mom. Nat said that Jesse wanted to be with Angie and Frank but felt too guilty to leave and she explained that she and her mom pushed him back toward his first family.
Angie asked Natalia why she had come to town. Before she could respond, Jesse arrived.
Friday
Jake informed Zach, Greenlee and Bianca that there had been complications during Kendall's surgery and that she was unresponsive following a seizure. Zach was furious and distraught. Zach came into the OR and tried to talk Kendall back to life. Zach blamed Jake for Kendall's situation.
In Natalia's hospital room, Frank railed at Jesse for lying to him and Angie about his other family. Jesse struggled to explain himself but Frank remained livid. Nat said that no one was trying to take Jesse away from Angie and Frank. Nat explained that she was in town because of her mom, who was in a bad way. Frank sarcastically suggested that they work out a schedule for sharing Jesse. An angry Frank left (against Angie's advice, as she wanted him to get his hand looked at) and ran into Taylor. Meanwhile,
Angie asked Jesse for the name of Natalia's mother and told him that what hurts the most is that he told his other family that he loved them — and then left them. Jesse said that he loved his daughter by Rebecca but that Rebecca had always known that he loved Angie. He was then called away on a police emergency; a dazed Angie walked back over to Natalia.
Bianca fretted about Kendall's condition and blamed herself (since Kendall had prioritized protecting Binks during the storm). Greens cradled the baby and assured Binks that Kendall would be fine. Greens thanked Bianca for letting her hold the baby; she was moved when Binks said, "Greenlee, you're family." Zach came back and told the ladies that Kendall wasn't waking up and that Jake was responsible. Binks defended him but Zach wouldn't hear
it. Joe entered with the news that Erica was okay. Zach blasted Joe for Jake's irresponsibility and threatened to take down the hospital. He quit his rant when Spike and Ian entered. A nurse told Zach that Kendall had been moved to another room; Zach and Bianca left to go see her and Greens stayed behind with the newborn. Aidan caught up with Greenlee and was surprised to learn that Bianca had had another baby. Aidan asked where Ryan was; Greens explained that he was with Annie. She broke the news to Aidan that Kendall
may be in a coma. He consoled her.
Bianca visited with Kendall, telling her about her partner, Reese. She then serenaded Kendall. Frank and Zach entered with bad news: The emergency vehicle transporting Erica to the hospital had been in an accident.
Taylor found a pensive Jake in a darkened stairwell. He opened up to her about how the surgery had gone awry. Taylor went to grab some coffee.
At the Chandler manse, Colby, Adam, Pete, Emma and Ryan wondered where Erica had run off to. Annie was still frantic with worry about Emma and Adam said that the stalker had clearly been living beneath the tunnel. When Adam heard about Babe's bleak prognosis, he bolted for the hospital. Pete stayed behind with Colby. Annie told Ryan that they needed to go to the police about Emma. After looking over the stalker's belongings, Ryan thought he knew why Emma had been snatched.
A weeping JR cradled Babe's dead body in his arms at the hospital chapel. David showed up and JR met his gaze. "She's dead," he cried. "No!" bellowed David, who tried to revive his daughter. Tad and Krystal rushed in and Tad pulled David away from Babe's body, which Krystal then cradled in her arms. Devastated, JR and Krystal kissed Babe good-bye (and JR apologized for his
shortcomings) before her body was wheeled away.... Ryan attacked David, demanding to know where Emma was. He decked David despite his denials about having taken the girl. Joe intervened: "Babe just died." "JR killed Babe," David spat. "That's enough!" Tad barked. David refused to back down, telling
everyone that they could all go to hell. "And I hope I send you there," he said. Krystal and JR were shell-shocked as they sorted through Babe's belongings in her room. Tad was informed by a nurse that someone had taken her body from the morgue. The culprit? David, who took the body outside and cradled it, apologizing to her for not having saved her from JR. He vowed to
make everyone pay for what they had done to her.... Adam got to the hospital and heard about the ambulance accident. Bianca joined him in the hallway as a body was wheeled in; both Bianca and Adam thought it might be Erica's.
Ryan and Annie told Jesse about David; he promised to take seriously the notion that David could be behind Emma's disappearance. Annie checked her voicemail and there was a message from Emma saying, "Hi, Mommy, I'm home!"
Ryan and Annie raced to the penthouse, where they found a threatening note: "Don't go to the police or your child will die."
Jesse returned to Natalia's side and Angie glimpsed them from the hallway.
Zach confronted Joe and Jake in the stairwell. In his rage, Zach
accidentally pushed a returning Taylor down the stairs.
