Friday, September 05 2008: First Right of Refusal!

At the cabin, Jake tells Taylor she isn't alone. He asks about Iraq and she tells him she was stationed south of Baghdad with a convoy. Her job was to direct planes and trucks where to go but on one trip, they came to a checkpoint and an old car blasted into their convoy and exploded. "It felt like it went on forever," she says as she describes the fire fight that followed with insurgents. Four of her men were killed in the explosion; she cries and says one man, Brot, grabbed a gun and started to return fire but another mortar shell went off very near him. Frankie, who was also in the fight, was saved but Brot was hurt very badly. She had to go with her men so Frankie focused on Brot. Taylor was grabbed from behind by an insurgent and killed him to save herself. A week later Brot died. "We were going to get married," she cries. He tries to comfort her but Taylor says the only thing that will make her whole is to return to her troops. Amanda arrives to see how Taylor is. She says she is fine and thanks Amanda for taking care of Randi. She leaves. Jake changes clothes and takes a drink.

Thursday, September 04 2008: Damage Control!

Jake pronounces Fletcher dead and Frankie immediately calls Jesse. Carmen helps clear the room. Jake takes Taylor aside and asks what happened. She says she did what she had to do and worries that the Army won't understand. Jesse arrives and apologizes to Randi because his undercover cop slipped up. Randi is shocked that they were having her followed but is relieved that Fletcher is gone and out of her life. Jesse asks what happened. Taylor interrupts; Frankie leads Randi away. She takes the blame for Fletcher's death, saying she was trying to save Randi. Jake backs up Taylor's story; Jesse insists that she come with him to the station house!

Back at the party, Kendall can't take her mind off of Greenlee. Amanda returns to Babe, who is worried after hearing Randi scream, and says a low-life came after Randi. Frankie takes Randi out of the party. Babe worries that the launch has been damaged. Colby comes over with Adam and JR, excited about the fragrance. She asks for another spritz over and over but Adam won't hear of her putting more of the contaminated brew on her body. He takes Petey aside; Petey isn't sure how the perfume will affect Colby but says it shouldn't be any worse than when Opal was exposed. Adam angrily blames Petey, saying Colby wasn't supposed to be affected. Ryan grabs Annie and demands to know why she didn't tell him about Joe's bed rest ultimatum. She says her doctor's words are none of his business since he has been lying for months about Greenlee. Kendall interrupts and demands that Annie get to work doing damage control because of the attack. Annie leaves to talk to the press and Kendall tells Ryan to stop letting Annie use his kids against him. Babe and Amanda wonder what to do about the attack. Amanda nearly tells her about Randi's hooker past but keeps her mouth shut. JR interrupts and tells Babe they have to get Colby home because her "problem" is back. Just then Colby walks by, giggling drunkenly. Amanda says she can handle things. Jack finds Carmen. She is upset about the attack. Reporters begin questioning her about Erica's early exit but Carmen doesn't know anything. Jack takes her aside and suggests they leave. Carmen is worried about why Erica may have left the party early. Jack says it doesn't matter. Kendall corners Amanda at the bar and says she knew this would happen. Amanda tells her to back off because this could have happened to any one of them. Greenlee comes over and says the same thing; Kendall won't listen. She tries calling Zach again but he doesn't answer. Kendall runs into Aidan and tells him to stop smothering Greenlee because it won't stop Greens from returning to Ryan! Annie finds Aidan a few minutes later and tells him to keep Greenlee under wraps and away from Ryan!
