ATWT Recaps Week of June 20, 2005
Friday, June 24, 2005
Scary Barbara showed up at Gwen’s — and the insults started flying too fast for us to type, as Babs cast aspersions on Gwen’s sexual history and Gwen shot back by pointing out her many public sins. Dealing with a pregnancy as a teen is hard, but standing up to Barbara without blinking? That’s a tough chick!
At Java, Celia couldn’t believe that Will slept with Gwen, so she got in his face and demanded the truth, as though she can handle it. He nearly buckled, but Casey walked up and ruined the moment. After a quick chat with Kim, the lucky Montegan left Casey with his grandma. He expressed his love for Celia, but he just wants to be “worthy” of her, dude. Kim assured him that he’s terrific — not like that boyfriend of Gwen’s. Dude, everyone’s gonna be soooo disappointed in Casey when they find out. (Kim will probably even call him “Kiddo!”) For now, he ratted out Will, but Kim insisted that Will already made it clear to Bob that he wasn’t.
Meanwhile, Will came back to a scene that we wouldn’t wish on any young man: his mother screaming at his pregnant non-girlfriend. He didn’t do quite as well as Gwen in shutting down his mother — who was convinced that Gwen is after the Ryan trust fund and insisted on a DNA test — but he did manage to kick her out eventually. With Babs gone, her sainted son had to work hard to convince Gwen that their plan will still work.
Carly visited a white-gloved Nancy, who was buried under a mountain of history at the Hughes house (boxes and boxes of the town’s memories. Upon realizing that the photo of Ray was no longer in her tiny purse, Carly simply described it to Nancy — “lots of flags” — who knew immediately that it must have been taken at Oakdale’s Golden Anniversary. That grandma’s a living “google search”! Anyway, they immediately found another picture, in which Ray was standing with a brunette whose face was suspiciously blurred. Maybe the mystery involves the paranormal! Back at home, Carly confided to Jack about never being able to count on her dad when she was growing up. Jack assured her that he would always be there for her. They then proceeded to get busy in their favorite spot — the couch.
Jennifer and Mike were having a romantic picnic at the Snyder Pond when she broke the news about the Evil Empire that has been formed because of the union of Rosanna and Craig. He decided to talk to Ro immediately, leaving Jen alone and neurotic at the pond. Naturally, she called Dusty as soon as her husband was out of earshot and they discussed another super-secret pact to take down Craig. At home, Jen was in bed rubbing her tummy when Mike came home with news that Ro wants to talk tomorrow (he really should have called first). Then they had that conversation they’ve been having about the methods for handling Craig. You know the one. They’ve been having it a lot lately.
“I want to be alone,” Lucinda Greta Garbo’d, as Lily, having gotten nothing from grilling Meg, went back into the room to demand answers. Lucinda finally confessed, causing an instant freak-out from Lily and Sierra, as Meg tried to calm them and Holden stood dumbfounded in the background. Lucinda winced in pain, then scolded her daughters before leaving. “When you can stop being children and behave like adults, I will return,” she cried. Lily instantly turned on Meg, but Holden stepped in to defend his sister. Lucinda returned and wanted to talk business, not see her daughters be unhappy. “You’ll have to play by my rules,” she told Sierra and Lily, who wanted to force her mother to accept her help. Later, she looked in on them sadly as they worried. Back at the farm, Meg had a heart-to-heart about Lily always having gotten everything she wants and getting the dreaded look of disappointment from Mama Emma. It’s a scorcher in Oakdale, so Meg went to cool off in the Snyder Pond — Dusty spotted her there.
