All My Children - DAILY UPDATES

At the Chandler mansion, Petey tells Adam to drop the lawsuit! Adam refuses even after Petey says this was all their fault and in a trial that information will come out. Colby jogs up and turns around but when Adam goes inside she decides to stay. She asks why Petey isn't at Fusion and he says there was too much going on there. Colby suggests he help figure out what happened with Bella and Petey gets really nervous. "I poisoned Bella!" Petey exclaims. Colby is shocked and asks why he helped Adam. He says he did it so that he could be around Colby a little bit more. She is even more stunned and tells him he is a loser! Petey runs away.

Inside, Annie hears a noise and attacks - Babe! JR comes in and asks what Annie is doing. She says she was frightened and apologizes but JR and Babe say she's gone too far. Annie storms out. Babe turns to JR and says this is just another thing that has backfired. She blames herself for Annie being in the house and for the problems at Fusion. She says they are never happy for long in Pine Valley! She says she is afraid that Pine Valley isn't good for them and says she has to get away from the mansion, Adam and the whole town! JR tries to convince her that things are different this time but Babe won't give in. She says she doesn't want Fusion, she wants her own business and dreams. She shows him the pictures from San Diego and says that was the last time they were really happy. JR emotionally agrees. "You want to leave Pine Valley?" he asks and Babe nods. JR says he'll leave with her but she tells him to think about the decision first. JR says he doesn't need to think about it because when he left town it was to discover who he really was and when he came back he fell into old patterns. He says he is ready to go and they can get married on that pier.

Adam comes into the sitting room and asks JR why Babe and little A just left. JR says Babe had some errands. He thinks about it for a while and then tells Adam that he and Babe have decided to leave Pine Valley so that they can start a new life! Colby comes in, hears this and gets very upset. Adam says this is only temporary but JR insists this is it. "You have saved me more times than I could count," he tells Adam. "Now I have to save myself." He tells Adam he loves him but says he can't stay. Colby hugs him and cries. Adam takes a drink and wipes away his own tears. When JR leaves, Colby sits with Adam and says she'll never leave him - as long as he admits his part in the Bella contamination. Adam says the whole thing was Petey's idea and if she pushes this, he'll ruin Petey! Colby can't believe him. She storms out.

Zach and Kendall are chatting about the boys when Ryan comes in, still getting dressed. Zach is thrown when Ryan says he spent the night because he felt Emma needed him. He leaves for work but Ryan stops him and says Annie doesn't deserve Emma. Zach continues out the door. Kendall tells Ryan not to worry about Zach because he was just overreacting. Ryan tells her to stop putting his needs ahead of Zach's. "I don't need to be told what my priorities are," she says. Ryan tells her to stop. Kendall says she knows that Zach is frustrated but that Zach needs to be more understanding of the connection between Ryan, Greenlee and her. She says Zach will get over this. "You're the one that needs to back off a little bit," Ryan says. "I can take care of myself." Jake calls with Emma's diagnosis - Strep Throat. Ryan gets ready to go. Kendall says she won't back off until Ryan decides to fight for Greenlee's love!

Annie calls Zach and says that since everyone thinks she is crazy she isn't going to see the therapist. Zach tries to change her mind.

Tad runs into Taylor at the boathouse and talks to her about a civilian job. She says, no matter the pay, she is an Army girl. When she starts doing push-ups, Tad asks about her past and family. Taylor becomes nervous, clams up and grabs her headphones. "See ya around," she says. Tad watches her leave.

Randi and Frankie are moving boxes into their new apartment. They realize they are both New York Jets fans. Randi says she is a neat freak and can't cook. Frankie says he can't cook either. She asks about his work hours and he says doctor's hours are always strange. She says she has been worried about the sleeping arrangements, not sex, because she is a light sleeper. Taylor stops by so Randi makes herself scarce. Taylor asks Frankie to help her with a favor.

Zach goes with Annie to the therapist's office and tells her to just tell the man the truth. She goes inside and meets with the doctor who invites her to talk to him. Annie talks about trying to save her marriage and admits she couldn't save that. She says she won't accept Ryan taking Emma and blames Ryan's custody issues on Kendall and Greenlee. She says they have brainwashed Ryan and have hired someone to stalk her. "They make it seem like I'm crazy so they can keep my daughter away from me forever," she says. The therapist says he is on her side. She leaves. Zach comes in and the therapist says he has plenty of evidence to take Emma away from Annie!

Tad returns home to find Krystal frantically cleaning. She says she can't stop thinking about Opal's warning, which Tad tells her again to forget. He focuses on Jenny while Krystal keeps cleaning. He tells her about talking to Taylor; Krystal tells him to forget about Taylor and the investigation. He can't do that. He believes her family is trying to find out more about her because she won't let them get close to her. He tells her about Brot. Babe and little A arrive. She sits Krystal down and says she is giving up on Fusion. Tad walks in and she tells them both that she and JR are leaving town! Krystal surprises her when she wishes Babe all the best. JR arrives. Tad tells him how proud he is. JR feels bad because now both of Tad's sons will be gone but Tad says he understands. "I'm going to miss my dad," JR says. "But you'll miss me more," Tad quips. JR and Babe say their goodbyes to Tad, Krystal and Kathy.

JR and Babe return to the mansion with little A. Adam gives little A a fishing pole and tells him to catch a big fish for him. Little A hugs Adam and runs upstairs. Adam asks JR to keep him informed about little A - and only little A! He goes upstairs. Babe hugs JR.

Annie returns to the mansion, hears a door creak and goes to investigate. She grabs a fireplace poker and yells at whoever is there to face her!
