First Right of Refusal!Friday, September 05 2008 |
Josh asks Kendall for help before Zach confronts him, Aidan makes demands of Greenlee, Ryan is turned away from the Chandler manse, Jesse opens up about his past, so do Taylor and Randi and Frankie gets some unwanted mail.

Annie returns to the Bella party and demands that Aidan stop Greenlee from going after Ryan. She says the two of them are on the roof and they aren't looking at one another as friends. Aidan says he trusts his wife. Across the room, Josh tells Kendall he is in trouble and begs her to come with him. She says whatever trouble he is in with Zach, he should just go and talk it out. He agrees to try and leaves.

On the roof, Greenlee points out that Annie is working Ryan; he says he knows but that he isn't sure how to change things. Aidan comes in and says, "This ends now!" He tells Ryan to stop using Greenlee as an emotional crutch and demands that she come with him. Ryan challenges Aidan, saying Greens can make her own decisions. This makes Aidan even more angry. Seeing this, Greenlee agrees to leave with her husband. Ryan angrily takes off his tie and throws it over the side of the building.
In his office, Zach tells his men to bring him the embezzler!

Josh is in the parking garage when Zach's men find him and drag him away! The men take him to Zach's office. Zach accuses Josh of stealing from him. Josh swears he isn't the embezzler but Zach doesn't believe him. Josh tells him to call Harris in accounting because the two of them have been working to find out who hacked into his computer to make him appear guilty. Zach calls but Harris doesn't answer. Josh asks if he is calling the police and Zach says he'll take care of this himself! "What, are you going to kill me?" Josh asks as Kendall walks in!

Greenlee walks into her home and angrily turns on Aidan. She says he had no right to speak to Ryan that way. Aidan says she has no right to ignore him in favor of Ryan! She says Ryan is her friend but that is all; Aidan doesn't believe her and says he won't share her. She refuses to abide by his wishes. He says she has to take him into account but she won't. Aidan says they could lose each other but she won't listen to him. She goes to the bedroom.

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.

On the yacht, Randi tells Frankie she was a foster child and says he is the only person she has been able to count on in a long time. He kisses her and both of them pull away. She says she doesn't know how to make love with a man and tries to put more distance between them. Frankie pulls her back to his side and says they can take as much time as she needs to feel comfortable. Taylor arrives. Frankie says Randi is doing fine. Taylor promises to look out for her if Frankie needs to go; he thanks her and kisses her cheek, saying she is a great friend. Taylor gets the shakes when she is alone.

At home, Angie and Jesse discuss Randi. Jesse says he knows how Randi feels about keeping her distance because he did the same thing for 20 years. He stops talking but she asks again about his past. He says he pulled away from everyone, but then one night he started walking on the streets. He saw a light and focused on it until he reached it. It was a glass lantern over a door; he went inside and broke down. He was hospitalized for a while; Angie asks why he didn't say anything. He says he was ashamed. She apologizes for pushing him about his past and caresses his face. He cries. Jesse leaves a while later and then Frankie gets home. Angie asks about Randi. Frankie opens the mail and finds out he has been redeployed to Iraq!
Instead of going to the police department, Jesse goes to a bar to make a phone call. He tells whoever is on the line that they have to meet!

Annie goes back to the mansion and tells Adam that his plan failed because Bella was a success. She doesn't understand why he wants Fusion to rise and Adam won't tell her. Ryan arrives and asks to see Emma. Annie refuses, saying it is too late, and then tells him she saw him with Greenlee. Ryan swears they were just talking but Annie won't listen to him. He begs her not to make Emma suffer and tries to get inside but Annie blocks him. Ryan barges in anyway and Adam tells him to get out - before he calls the cops! Adam says they both need to stop fighting in front of Emma; Ryan says he won't leave Emma but then leaves the house. Annie thanks Adam, who tells her to stop using her children to manipulate Ryan. "This, from the man who manipulates for sport!" she exclaims. Adam says she is manipulating the wrong person. Annie watches a late newscast which features Greenlee, saying that Fusion is doing just fine. She shuts off the television and throws a flower vase against the fireplace. Annie picks up her phone and calls Ryan.
