ATWT Recaps Week of Nov. 7, 2005
Friday, November 11, 2005
Henry awakens to the blurry visions of wine bottles. “I’ve died and gone to heaven,” he sighed, soon realizing he was in the Fairwinds cellar, where he’d locked Mike. When BJ arrived, Henry spent several segments trying desperately (and humorously, had his circumstances not been so dire) to talk his way out of the situation, as BJ calmly (romantically) noted that he talks a lot for someone who’s claiming he’ll keep his mouth shut. Henry zipped his lip; after a hilarious beat, he raised his hand. Then Brian Gaskill bravely kept a straight face and “called” on Henry, who simply said, “Please let me go.” But alas, that didn’t work; BJ needs Henry out of the way while he “takes care” of other business. When he heard someone coming later, Henry though he was saved. Well, that probably depends on his definition, because the dominatrix-style Amazon with long blonde hair who walked into the cellar and kicked him to the ground didn’t look very compassionate.
At Java, Casey blew off Lia when he overheard Maddie on the phone, leaving one of many worried messages for Henry. Though he toolishly tried to reassure her that her brother is fine, Maddie talked Casey into going to WOAK with her to look for him. There, they found Henry’s cell phone; Maddie insisted they look for another clue. Casey managed to search like a tool, but found Henry’s shoe in the filing cabinet. That’s when BJ showed up, but when he walked into the office, Casey and Maddie were making out — and he creepily watched them for several beats too long.
Will and Gwen are officially getting too cute: today he brought over blueprints of her new apartment and they couldn’t stop smiling at each other as they planned their rotating baby-care/study shifts; he’s even called child services for a list of competent babysitters (!). “Every time you do something this incredible, I can’t actually believe that this is my life,” she grinned to The Best Teen Ever, but this is too much sweetness for a sigh. Speaking of, a woman from child protective services came to the door for a surprise inspection. Gwen proceeded to wow her with responsibility and stability, while Will tried stalling Iris by telling her that Gwen was meeting with a guidance counselor and then throwing money at her. It didn’t work: Iris barged in and proceeded to tell the investigator about all the “cute” mistakes that Gwen has made since she got the baby. The best part about this was the look of annoyance on Will’s face while she was yapping — and the fact that he casually leaned over and pulled a flask out of her purse (now that’s The Best Teen Ever that we love, the one who wasn’t kidding when he urged her not to mess with him!) The social worker seemed effectively deterred by Iris, but her report might not be as glowing as Gwen and Will originally had hoped. Once the teens left to look at the apartment, Iris’s sleazy buddy, Stan showed up “to make it with [her]” (Ewww). While tolerating his sloppy advances, Iris was busy concocting a plan: since “that little baby is an ATM,” she wants Stan to find out how Will killed Rose D’Angelo.
At Luke’s bedside, Lucinda called the one-two punch of her cancer and his kidney a “ghastly do-si-do” and proceeded to give her grandson a sweet, touching pep talk about always fighting for survival. He promised to do so if she would as well, and they agreed to keep each other going. Meanwhile, Keith gave Lily a little space to break it to Holden that Luke’s new kidney didn’t just fall magically out of the sky and was in fact, bought for a royal sum, but the Princess couldn’t bring herself to break up the happy family just yet, especially when Lucinda, fresh off her heartfelt conversation with Luke, movingly told her “My family is my life, and I intend to fight for all of you.” The warm family scene that followed when Faith and Natalie also joined them at Luke’s bedside only made it worse. But Keith continued pressuring her from his window-peering perch, and by the end of the day, he presented her with a diamond ring. “You have to release me from this promise [my lord],” said Princess Lily, sounding very Renaissance Fair.
