Farewell to Simone and Erin

The two lost women of Fusion "fought like warriors" for the people they loved, says Kendall in her eulogy.

Jon tries to pay tribute to Erin, but is too broken up to continue with his eulogy for his sister.

The remaining Fusion women place roses on the coffins and hold hands, surrounding their lost friends.

After the service, Tad and Aidan ask Derek to let them help him find what appears to be a serial killer. He tells them to "stay out of his way"—and keep an eye on their loved ones.

Tad declines to go to the post-funeral reception, and stays to keep vigil at the cemetery. Brooke tells Dixie that Tad's gone off to a place where they can't reach him. What can they do?

Zach tells Kendall he'll be late getting to Fusion. He's going to look for answers. Tad is alone at the cemetery, except for Zach, who approaches and says he wants to hire Tad. Tad is surprised and asks who Zach wants investigated. "Me," Zach replies.

Does this have anything to do with the murders, asks Tad? Zach says there's a message in it—a message to him. He gives Tad a packet of information that he claims is "everything about him" and to do whatever he need to do to find answers. But what does this have to do with Zach, asks Tad? "Gardenia…and a single white ribbon."

Goodbye, Simone

NEXT on AMC:


• Zach asks to see Simone's autopsy report.

• Josh asks Babe if he can help her deal with Simone's death.

Secrets and lies

Erica challenges Jack as everyone in the dining room looks on—and says that it appears that divorce is what he wants, and flounces out of the room. Bianca and Kendall are unsure about what to do, but Josh goes up to see Erica in her room. He says he just wanted to see if she was ok. She ends up telling him that she wishes she could do something to ease his pain, but he insists he's "fine."

Jeff tells Jack he's "an idiot" and that Erica planned to return home. If their marriage ends, it'll be Jack's fault. He tells Jack that "the battle for Erica is just beginning. I just want to make sure it's a fair one."

Jeff goes up to see Erica, who insists that her marriage is over. She claims that Jack doesn't understand her—and expects her to act like a conventional housewife. Jack is 100% responsible for the end of their marriage!

"Erica, you don't really want a divorce, do you?" asks Jeff. Why else would she be so worked up? He admits that he wants her…but that the rest is up to her.

Myrtle asks Zach if it's possible if Erica is headed for Divorce #10—and the maitre d' tells him that this is the last Kane Thanksgiving at the Valley Inn!

Kendall, Bianca, and Josh are discussing their mother—and Kendall and Bianca agree that Jack and Erica are soulmates. Also, they insist that Josh's defense of Erica at dinner demonstrates that he's now "one of them."

Brooke thanks Jack for being a good friend, and tells him that the only way he can lose Erica to Jeff is if he wants to.

Thanksgiving "celebrations" continues

At the Kane Thanksgiving, Erica asks Jack if it's ok she invited Jeff and Josh, since his invitation of Brooke means "anybody" can come.

There's a disagreement at dinner about who should say grace—when Erica suggests Jeff do it rather than the host, Jack. Myrtle interrupts and says the grace. Erica continues to spread harmony by asking for Jeff to carve the turkey.

Annie tells Kendall that the DNA results prove she is Emma's mother, and that she owes it all to Ryan and Jeff. Later, Kendall suggests to Ryan that he not let Annie and Emma remain in the penthouse. Ryan wants to know why she cares about it.

She tells him it's Spike—and Ryan says that Spike is his life, and no one can take his place.

Jeff tells Erica that it's clear she invited him to get back at Jack, and the more she does that, the closer he gets to her. When Erica asks who Annie "is", she gets back as good as she gives, when Annie asks her "how many of your husbands are invited?"


The conversation gets nastier when Jack questions Josh about his "attempts to destroy Babe's marriage" and Jeff makes comments about Erica's unhappy marriage.


Sean leaves in a huff, and Erica stomps off to the powder room, followed by Bianca, who confronts her with a question: Why is she so unwilling to come home? Erica agrees to stay for dinner. As she walks into the dining room, she hears Lily say "you're right Dad…you and Erica don't belong together."

"Maybe you're right, Jack," says Erica. "Maybe we should get divorced!"

A Pine Valley Thanksgiving

Zach convinces the maitre d' at the Valley Inn to accommodate the Kane family for Thanksgiving. Erica tells Bianca that she will not come if Jack is there. As they're discussing it, Bianca confides in Erica about the real reason she came back to Pine Valley—Maggie's infidelity.

Bianca urges Erica to stay for dinner, since it will mean so much to Jack—who walks in at that very moment…with Brooke! Erica tries to cover her discomfort and rushes off to perform "an errand."

:::Thanksgiving in Pine Valley:::

Jack runs into Brooke at the hospital, where she's volunteering, and invites her to have Thanksgiving dinner with them.

::::JR is out of surgery::::

Everyone's waiting at the hospital for news. Tad is anguished; Bianca is still full of guilt.


Jack wants to know the truth about Jeff and Erica. She claims he's "dead wrong" and suspicious. Jeff says he's seen the way they look at each other. He wants her back in their home—will she return? Erica tells him she doesn't respond well to "ultimatums"! He says that's not so, and Erica accuses him of beginning the trouble, and brings up the problems with Lily and Jonathan.

Brooke walks in as they're arguing, and Jack stalks away. Erica and Brooke get into it, and Erica accuses Brooke of trolling for Brooke. Jack comes back and demands that they go back to the Inn and pack her things. Erica refuses, and stomps off. . Brooke tells Jack she's there for him—and admits she's attracted to him.


Back at the Valley Inn, Erica runs into Jack in the corridor and invites him in for tea. They discuss Josh, and then Erica apologizes for lashing out at him—and admits that she did want him to kiss her. She also says she loves Jack and will fight for her marriage with everything she has.

::::JR Reaches a Breaking Point::::

Jack is sitting at Lily's bedside, looks up, and sees Jonathan at the window. When he comes out of Lily's room, they talk briefly.

Jonathan thanks Amanda for calling him about Lily. Amanda is horrified about making Lily upset and contributing to her accident. It's clear there cannot be any friendship between her and Jonathan.

Brooke is at the hospital, and they discuss Jack "bolting on the queen" [leaving the New Beginnings party.] Jack insists his marriage is "fine."

Later, Jack goes back into the room. Lily's awake, and he explains to her what happened.

Everyone's at the courthouse as the trial begins.

In the courthouse, Dixie asks Tad "You ready to burn me at the stake?"

Palmer tells Dixie that he's certain she'll be acquitted. David laughs at them, and Dixie tells him to go away. Livia tells Zach and Dixie to be careful not to show any rage or anger at the trial.


Palmer enters an anteroom where Tad is waiting, and tells him he has a way out to keep him from testifying—a pistol he's carrying. Tad disarms him—an anguished Palmer says he hopes God strikes him dead on the witness stand.

Brooke enters the anteroom to tell Tad that she can't find Jamie anywhere in the courthouse.

Pine Valley mourns Colby Chandler.

Krystal asks Babe if she broke her marriage vows, and Babe nods and admits she did. Does she still want her marriage? Babe admits she doesn't know, but wants a man who looks at her the same way Adam looks at Krystal.

Babe says he has problems knowing just what she's feeling about JR, and that Josh gives her something JR never has. Is it possible to be in love with two men at once?

Krystal says Babe has to decide what she honestly wants. If it's JR, she should never let JR know what happened.


The doorbell rings and Brooke is there to offer condolences to Adam, and embraces him. She tells him she knows that losing a child is the worst thing that can happen to a person.

After she's done speaking with Adam, Brooke sits down next to Tad and tells him he can't strike back at Dixie just out of anger, and that what he says in court today will affect JR and Jamie for a long time.

A distraught Sydney tells Winifred she has to leave! Adam overhears and asks her to sit with them, and assures her she's part of the family and that he wants her to stay.

Colby is still in the tunnel and overhears all the conversations.

When Babe goes to answer the doorbell, Josh is standing there. She's shocked to see him and asks what he's doing there. He says he wants to talk—and they overhear the voices in the tunnel.

He opens the door and reveals Colby and Sydney. "You look pretty good for a dead person!"
