The Gauntlet Is Thrown! Tuesday, August 26 2008

Carmen kisses Jack, Jack makes his choice, Adam makes a proposal, Kathy plots against Krystal, Kendall tries to force Greenlee's hand and Ryan learns the truth from Annie.

Jake arrives at his new apartment, alone, but Taylor is already there. They both have signed leases for the same apartment! Jake decides to bunk at the hospital but Taylor says they are both adults and can cohabitate for one night - especially since she's perfectly safe with him! Jake wonders what she means. They talk about their work and he tells her about Doctors Without Borders; she asks about his love life and he says it is fine that Aidan loves Greens. Amanda interrupts with food and plants a juicy kiss on Jake. Amanda offers to let Jake stay with her on the yacht when she learns that Jake and Taylor are stuck in the same apartment. Jake isn't sure that is a good idea. Amanda kisses him, says the offer is open and leaves. Taylor asks Jake when he threw over Aidan for Amanda! It takes Jake a minute but then he realizes Taylor thought he was gay. Jake sets her straight and says he'll move in with Amanda. Taylor says she can handle a guy and lets him stay. She unpacks her Army uniform. Jake asks about her service and she says she is waiting to go back; he tells her not to take Frankie with him but Taylor says that is Frankie's decision. They argue about the war; Jake says Frankie has the right priorities - healing people. Taylor is offended and leaves the room. Later, Jake is nearly asleep when he hears Taylor having a nightmare.

Aidan and Tad are enjoying greasy pizza while Krystal admonishes them about it. Aidan says Greenlee is busy with a new, non-work project, which worries Tad. Upstairs, Kathy has a dream that Krystal is trying to poison Tad with an apple. She watches as Tad bites the apple and collapses. Kathy tries to save him but can't. She wakes up and runs downstairs to Tad. Krystal returns and says Tad can have his pizza as long as he eats an apple, too! Krystal starts picking out colors for the room; Kathy agrees with every choice and when her back is turned she steals the apple meant for Tad. Aidan leaves and Krystal offers to take Kathy upstairs to bed. Kathy whispers that she'll save Tad and goes with Krystal. Krystal returns to Tad, believing she is making progress with Kathy. Upstairs, Kathy gets rid of the apple.

Erica is shocked to see Carmen lay one on Jack. Carmen asks if that was enough and then turns and says she isn't the woman Jack wants! A waiter offers to have Jack and Carmen removed but Adam and Erica say they can stay. Adam dares Erica to call Carmen friend and she obviously struggles with the word. Jack goes to Erica and tells her to stop playing games - with him and with Carmen! - because he is done playing. Meanwhile, Adam buys Carmen a fancy bottle of wine. She can't believe she played right into his plans with Erica. Jack tells Erica to back off because he really cares about Carmen. He returns to their table. Carmen takes off her fancy shoes and jewelry and tosses them in the water. Erica comes to her and Carmen says she was a fool to believe anyone could care for her after caring for Erica. Erica and Adam begin arguing. Carmen turns around but Jack is gone. He returns with Carmen's shoes in tow, places them on her feet and asks her to stay. Erica watches. Carmen cries when Jack says he wasn't playing games with her. They leave. Adam turns to Erica and asks her to marry him! Erica slugs him!

At ConFusion, Kendall tells Greenlee that if Ryan really loved Annie he would have remembered her just like he remembered them. Greenlee says the bullet made Ryan lose his memory, not his lack of love for Annie! Kendall tells her to go to Ryan; Greens says she loves Aidan but Kendall keeps pressuring her. Kendall tells her not to blame Ryan for breaking her heart because that was all Kendall's fault. Greenlee says the past has nothing to do with her present but Kendall keeps telling her to heal herself with Ryan. Greenlee says Ryan broke her but Aidan healed her. She admits she will always love Ryan but only as a friend. Kendall says if Greenlee were truly healed she could admit her feelings for Ryan. Greens tells Kendall to butt out. She leaves, saying none of this ever happened.

Annie can't believe that Greenlee and Kendall gave Ryan the letter and says this is just like them. Ryan tells her to leave the other women out of it and tell him what she did. Annie says she thought a baby was the only way to save their marriage because, at the time, he was focused on Kendall and Greens. "I was trying to fix us," she pleads. She says the letter from the doctor seemed like a gift. She brings up Richie and all of the bad things that he did and says he saved her from all of Richie's guilt and bad deeds. She tells him about the hormone shots she took to get pregnant but swears she didn't use sex against him; she swears she loves him as much now as she did in the beginning. Richie appears and dares her to tell Ryan about the murder but Annie can't do it. She asks if he is leaving her. He says he is staying with his family. She promises no more secrets. He hugs her.

Greenlee returns home and begs Aidan to hold her as tightly as possible.
