Burning Down the House!

Thursday, April 24 2008
The Hubbards watch the cops begin to dig up Jesse's coffin. Zach and Kendall can't see eye to eye. Ryan has it out with his therapist. Annie plots to win Ryan's heart. Erica propositions Jack - and Samuel!


In the waiting area of the prison, Carmen warns Erica that the women will be mad if she doesn't come through. Just then both Jack and Samuel arrive. Carmen instantly falls under Samuel's charm; Erica tells the men about her plans for rehabilitation, counseling and job-training programs for the inmates. Jack and Samuel are blown away. She asks Sam to spearhead the training programs and then asks Jack to take on Carmen's appeal! Sam reminds her that this won't be a quick change with fast results but she plods ahead. Samuel is called away. Jack asks about the inmates and Carmen tells him about the note. Erica insists no one will hurt her but Jack isn't sure. Erica jabbers about Carmen until Carmen interrupts, making her focus on Jack. He agrees to help Carmen. He takes Carmen aside to talk about her case. Sam returns and asks Erica about the warden. Erica says the warden can't turn down her ideas because they are good for the inmates. Jack finishes his talk with Carmen. Samuel says he is ready to move forward if he is.



Jesse gives Angie one last chance to go home but she refuses. Tad arrives. None of them notice that Robert has arrived and is watching them. By phone, he tells the diamond brokers he'll have more rocks soon. Rob pulls a gun and watches as the crews begin digging. Angie has a bad feeling that whatever is dug up will change their lives for the worse! Jesse is focused on the coffin and what might be inside. Frankie goes to reassure Angie. The coffin is finally raised to ground level. They cops open it up. "Oh my," Angie says in horror.



Ryan goes to see the therapist. Ryan tells her about seeing Greenlee and says it is easy to be with her because she doesn't make demands on him. She asks why. He tells her about Greens' engagement and says he is fine with it. "Even though the only person who "gets" you is marrying someone else?" the doctor asks. He mentions moving back in with Annie and the doctor questions his motives. Ryan hopes that by being with Annie some of his memories will return and says in the meantime, he'll be able to give Emma some security. When she answers his statements with more questions, Ryan lashes out at her and asks what he is supposed to do. She asks more questions. Ryan storms out.



Julia and Kathy arrive at Annie's for a play-date. As the girls play Julia notices Ryan's things and Annie fills her in. She admits that she prays for Ryan to remember her but he doesn't. Julia asks what she is doing to make him remember. Annie realizes that they only talk about Emma or his memory loss, not their relationship. Annie says life at Wildwind was so much simpler than living with amnesiac Ryan. Julia teases her because she was stressed out about Ryan as much when she was at Wildwind as she is now. Julia and Kathy leave a while later. She is cleaning up when memories about Ryan come to the surface. She remembers how he saved her life in the plane and tells him he needs saving. She turns to go upstairs, trips over one of Emma's toys and makes a mess in the living room. Her forehead is cut and she is shaking. Ryan knocks on the door and calls to her! Annie opens the door and Ryan freaks out with worry. Annie says she must have left the door open after Julia left and someone broken in! Ryan hugs her and swears no one will hurt her as long as he is around.



After throwing the water, Kendall begs Zach to talk to her. She tells him to admit his true feelings. Zach says if he'd known that she slept with Aidan he would have chosen to die in the bomb shelter! She can't believe he would rather be dead than with her and the boys. He says that he can't stop thinking about Aidan and he always feels like screaming or destroying things. "You and Aidan. . .it doesn't belong here, it doesn't belong with us," he says and tells her that she has to let it go or he will never be able to get past it. Crying, Kendall runs from the room. She gets a can of gas and goes to Sylvester's shack in the woods. Kendall remembers everything about that night, from the argument with Aidan to how she felt after sleeping with him. She begins to pour the gas over the floor. As she finishes up, Zach walks in and asks what she is doing. She says she is letting go. She places his hand over her heart and says she is taking her life back. Kendall grabs a match but Zach won't let her light it. He walks to the door and asks if she is ready; together they each light a match and burn the house down! Outside, they watch for a moment and then Zach tells her everything else is gone now.

Annie, please don't go down the road of lying and conniving. Learn from Kendall & Greenlee's mistakes.

Stupid!Stupid!Stupid! That's the only way to describe the kendall/Zach burning down the house situation.

OK, do the writers of AMC have a death wish for this show?
All right already! Enough of this Zach/Kendall/Ryan/Annie/Aidan/Greenlee show. I think it's time the viewers send a message to the writers that we aren't interested in seeing this storyine drag on any longer.
Let's write a new script. Greenlee and Aidan marry happily ever after and leave Pine Valley. Kendall and Zach split up. Ritchie dies, and Babe admits she was wrong about JR. And Dixie's ghost does help Tad find Kate once and for all!

Angelica427 I agree with you - however; stupid is putting it mildly. Kendall really needs to stop throwing the ONS in Zach's face - enough already. The man has told her on a daily bases that he forgives her and to let it go so why won't she let sleeping dogs lay? Could it be because she is a Kane woman? LOL

Also what gives her the right to burn down the cabin? If I remember correctly, Aidan bought that property from Sylvester - and in my book that means it's Aidan's cabin - not hers. I wonder if she's planning on paying him for it!

Why is Ryan paying a therapist (good money) if he doesn't want to hear what is being said to him to help him get "his" memories back? Ryan, if you are not going to heed her advice, don't waste her time or yours. Grow up!

And last but not least, why does Erica think she can reform the prison system? Could it be because she is a "Kane" woman? How can we clone her as an advocate and put her in every womens prison in the free world? I think it is a noble idea but not even Erica Kane can pull that one off.

I totally agree! Stupid! Did they just set fire to a house in the woods???

Posted by beenaroundalongtime at Thursday, April 24 2008 01:03 PM

Jimmyah, Here, here. I agree. The s/l with Zach and the rest is really boring. Bringing Dixie back (ghost form)
S-T-U-P-I-D!!!!!! Adam & Crystal back together. Tad and Julia unite (Unles Noah comes back YUMMY). Annie, Truetalltales said it best.

AMC writers.....Think new, exciting, fresh. Out of the box.

Doesn't the house they just burned in the woods belong to Aiden? Didn't he buy it with the land when they were looking for Zach and Greenlee?

Lets see-- Greenlee will end up w/ Zach, Annie will end up w/ Ryan, Aidan will find another woman to help and Kendall will be alone and not too happy about it either!! I like her w/ Zach but it seems whoever write for them doesn't want her to be with him.
How long do we have to watch Erica in jail looking like she is modeling prison clothes? let her have a real prison experience(get beat up or atleast almost come to blows) to bring her a taste of reality. She lives like she is the queen bee yet at times says she comes from nothing. It would be interesting to see her knocked down a peg or two. Just hurry up about it and get her out. Its too unrealistic to watch anymore.
Go Tad,Krystal,Angie,Jesse,--LOVE them!!

Kendall actually believes and thinks that burning down the house will be the answer to how she feels! How stupid is that. She's gonna be obsessing about Aiden till she explodes and tells Greenlee or whenever Greenlee finds out the truth about her and Aiden's one night stand. AIt's ridiculous the way she's acting. She should just forget about it and get on with her life with Zack. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...

Get Ryan's memory back already! It's been dragged on too long already! It's unacceptable dragging this on forever!
