ATWT Recaps Week of June 26, 2006
Friday, June 30, 2006
Fresh from Montana, Carly hit the farm looking for Emma but found babysitter Jack instead. They traded news about Lily and angsty looks. Parker, JJ and Sage ran in from the car, lightening the mood. Meanwhile, stormy seas found the fabulous foursome seasick and Simon and Katie once again headed each other’s way. At Java, Maddie tried to convince Henry to do some world traveling. “This is about Casey Hughes, isn’t it?” her wise bro surmised. At the Lakeview, Casey caught up with Gwen and Johnny, confessing that Maddie “broke up with me and I have no idea why.” At Memorial, Paul refused to believe that Jen might die. Barbara told him to keep his voice down and “just be a big brother!” Dr. Bob grimly told Dusty that there wasn’t much more they could do for Jennifer. Dusty refused to let him discuss Jen’s “options,” and urged a confused Jen to rest (rowing down that River Denial). Barbara told Dusty to contact Lucinda and get her to pull in a specialist. She took strength from Kim before going in to see Jen. “I’m not going to argue with Dusty Donovan when he’s in Papa Bear mode,” Babs chuckled, minimizing Jen’s bleak prognosis. “What is it that nobody wants to tell me?” Jen then asked Paul and Meg. Their own history was the elephant in the room as Gwen and Casey discussed why Maddie had bolted. “Maybe I can help,” Gwen reasoned. Maddie got defensive with a worried Henry, who suggested she go home for the summer. “No!”
At the farm, Carly decided to let Jack make dinner for their kids plus Natalie and Faith. Cue the hijinks! Queasy Katie found herself on deck alone with Simon in the rain. Cue those hijinks, too! “You are unbelievable!” Katie cried as Simon wondered why she’d tried to warn Vienna about him. “I still think there’s a little something between us,” he teased. Meanwhile, green-gilled Vienna conjured up lurid Titanic scenarios, complete with Celine Dion references, and lost her lunch — in Mike’s bathroom. Carly tried to explain Lily’s coma to Faith, perking up the bummed girl. “Stay,” an eavesdropping Jack implored Carly afterward. Back at Memorial, Will asked Kim to “make it all go away.” “Would that I could,” Kim sighed as Hal, too, arrived. “Without Jen, there’s no family,” Will angsted (jinxing things!). Paul and Meg tried to snow Jen, too, but she wanted the truth. Meg reluctantly handed over her chart and translated: “your heart has lost its pumping mechanism.” And there’s no cure. “Nobody’s giving up!” Paul assured, but his Pollyanna act tanked. In the hall, Barbara comforted the newly-informed Hal. “Why are you clamming up, Kitten?” Henry asked, trying to get Maddie to open up — and failing. Casey and Gwen tried to figure it out from their side (with interference from Johnny). Carly agreed to stick around and help Mr. Mom and she and Jack found themselves in the middle of a food fight.
Kim gave Will props for holding it together for Hal and Barbara and then Will went off to share the bad news with Gwen. Jennifer succumbed to tears thinking about Johnny but fought to stay strong for him. Dusty arrived and tried to eject Paul and Meg. At the farm, Jack rescued the remnants of dinner as Carly washed off the condiments and shucked her shirt. On the boat, Katie sang Mike’s praises and refused to step away from the rail until Simon left. Naturally, she went flying overboard. Soaked to the skin, Simon called his ex-wife’s name, grabbed a life preserver and leapt after her. Meanwhile, Mike found himself trapped with Vienna and her wacky Titanic fantasies. Jack found himself face-to-face with scantily-clad Carly in Emma’s kitchen. Casey and Gwen bonded as he gave Johnny his bottle. Of course, Will walked in on the cozy scene. Up on the roof, Maddie freaked out when Dallas surprised her. “We need to talk about what happened,” he said. Paul and Meg left Jen’s cubicle of their own accord. Dusty tried to keep the charade going, but dying Jen whispered, “I’ll tell you what I really want: I wanna be married. Will you marry me?”
