Erica's Choice...

Monday, January 19 2009
Amanda receives difficult news, Adam begs JR to get treatment, Josh is pronounced brain dead and David convinces Erica to donate Josh's heart to save Kendall!


At the casino Zach and Josh both fire their guns. Josh is hit and falls on top of Reese; Erica rushes to his side. "I just wanted a second chance," he mumbles and tells Erica to make sure Kendall is taken care of. The EMTs arrive and Zach tells them to keep Josh alive – so Kendall can have his heart! Erica asks what Zach means and he tells her about David's proclamation that Kendall is going to die without a heart transplant.


JR keeps Jake off the yacht. When he leaves JR calls out to Amanda in the bathroom. She asks who was there and he tells her. She says she still feels poorly because of the flu shot so JR offers to care for her. She says he should go home to Little A so she doesn't make him sick, too. After he has gone she checks the pregnancy test and then hurries away.


Angie turns to another doctor and asks him to run some tests on the drugs she stole from David's! Greenlee arrives and asks about Kendall; Angie tells her to talk to David but before he can answer her questions Kendall's monitors flat-line! David stabilizes Kendall but tells Greenlee that she won't make it through the night! She begs him to keep Kendall alive until the family arrives and then goes into Kendall's room. She begs Kendall to wake up but Kendall doesn't respond. Jake arrives and tells David that he will fight him. Angie sees Zach arrive and tells him that Kendall has already arrested once; he says they have a heart. Erica follows him in, trying to decide which child she should save! Zach goes straight to David and demands that he hurry the tests through so they know if Josh is a match for Kendall. David heads for the ER. Greenlee asks him what happened but Zach rushes to Kendall's side. Amanda arrives and runs into Jake. He warns her about JR – again – but Amanda won't listen. Jake takes the canceled check from his pocket and asks what she has done for David! Amanda says she doesn't know what the check is but Jake keeps pushing her. Amanda gives in and tells Jake that David paid her to get JR to drink again. "I'm for sale just like any other prostitute," she says and faints! Jake asks a friend to look after Amanda. She tells the doctor she needs a pregnancy test and makes him promise to keep the results quiet.



Adam returns home, sends Little A upstairs and tells Colby that Tad won full custody. He worries what David will do next and so does Colby; both are also worried about JR. She goes upstairs with Little A and Adam destroys the toy car that David bought! JR returns home to find Adam burning pieces of the car in the fireplace. He says he'll replace the car in the morning. JR asks about the hearing and Adam tells him. Adam yells at JR, believing David had a part in JR's drinking but JR swears he didn't. Adam begs JR to get treatment and promises to protect Little Adam with Colby's help. JR refuses. Colby breaks up their fight, telling them they can't start fighting again. Adam begs JR to get help and swears he just wants him to get better so they can fight off David. "Do it for Babe," Adam begs, finally getting through to JR. Adam leaves and JR says this is classic Adam; Colby insists Adam is trying to help him and begs him to stop drinking. JR yells at her to get out. When he is alone he thinks about Babe and the promise he made to her.



Angie works to save Josh's life as Erica watches from the hall. She tells Erica that Josh is brain dead! Bianca and Reese are there. Erica asks what is next and Angie says Erica has to decide whether to keep Josh on life support for the rest of his life or pull the plug. David and Zach arrive; David says Kendall will die by morning without a miracle and asks if they can use Josh's heart to save her. Angie tells Erica that Josh's heart is viable but only for a little while. David says the heart is Kendall's best hope. "Do it," she says. Erica and Bianca leave for some air and Greenlee goes to call Ryan. Reese stays with Zach, telling him things will be okay. She thanks him for saving her from Josh and starts to cry. He hugs her as Bianca returns; she hugs Reese, too. Erica returns. David and Angie come back and say even though the tests aren't back they are prepping both Josh and Kendall to speed things up. Bianca leads Erica into Josh's hospital room. Just then Angie's doctor friend comes back with the test results from the pills! Jake finds Angie and she fills him in on Josh's condition. He is worried until Angie says the ingredients in David's pills aren't FDA approved. "This is going to take him down," she says. Jesse arrives and overhears. She tells him about the drug tests and he questions how she found the pills and when she doesn't say, tells her to keep this to herself! The doctor returns to Amanda and says she is pregnant. A while later Jake comes in and guesses at her diagnosis; he asks who the father is but Amanda doesn't know!


In Josh's room Erica cries and apologizes for not understanding his pain and anger. Bianca cries behind her. "Kendall reached out to you and now you can reach out to her and live on inside her," Erica says. "I hope you finally find peace."


Zach goes to Kendall's room and tells her she'll be okay after the surgery. "You'll come back to us," he says, "I love you." David returns to the waiting room and says Josh is a match and they are starting surgery immediately. Everyone is worried and relieved at the same time. Josh and Kendall are wheeled into the operating rooms. Erica holds Josh's head down the hall as Zach concentrates on Kendall. "I'll always love you. I'm sorry," Erica whispers to Josh and kisses his hand.

I was so excited about David coming back....I was hoping he'd be a good guy

Posted by lovesit at Monday, January 19 2009 11:27 AM

I know a lot of people think Zach was cold for saying to keep Josh alive to save Kendall, but I think it is awesome. (I'm gonna get reamed a new one I know...) It shows his mind is ALWAYS on Kendall, and Josh gave him the easy (legal) way to do it.
I also know a lot of people think Zach should have gave Josh a second chance, but why did he deserve it? The Kane's worked very hard to get him into their lives, and he fought them at every turn. Josh was the one who ruined it, IMO.

So Erica is going to pick kendall instead of josh and i miss kendall so much

Posted by SJH 13 at Monday, January 19 2009 11:33 AM

Lovesit............I agree with you. Sure it's kind of heartless to focus solely on that point, especially with the guy's mother is right there, but Kendall is Zach's first priority always. I would not be surprised if it was Josh's intention for this to happen, especially after his visit with Kendall last week.

I for one am just disappointed in them killing Josh. I never like him before, so I don't know why this is aggravating me so much, but it is.

I have not missed Kendall one bit. As lovesit mentioned, Zach's priority is always Kendall.........let's hope she returns the favor now, because she's done a poor job of it in the past.

SJH 13 - I actually thought that myself, about Josh planning on Zach killing him and him raising his gun on purpose, knowing Zach would kill him in a heartbeat. I was afraid to post that much, but since there in another who thought the same thing...I wonder if the writers will ever tell us what Josh has been up to and why he went up against Zach

Posted by ksbj1377 at Monday, January 19 2009 11:43 AM

Ok so is it just me or was Erica a bit to calm. Josh got shot and she got news that Kendall wouldnt make it through the night. Wouldnt she been WAY more upset than what she was?!?! I cant wait to find out what was in the pills David gave to Krystal. And who is the father of Amanda's baby....PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont be Davids. In the spoilers it said Kendall is going to have secrets of her own when she wakes up I cant wait shes got a lot to hear about herself It should get real good real soon!!!!

I am soooooo glad Kendall will be back now. But I love Josh. He just came back and they are killing him off again. Anyone know why? Josh is a great on the show and adorable too.

It sure looks like Josh did this on purpose after seeing him last week and knowing Kendall needs a new heart. Josh knew he had no hope in getting away and loved Kendall so wanted to give his heart to his sister. Zach was not cold when he said save him so Kendall can have his heart.
I'm happy Kendall is going to live but will she be able to forgive her sister, husband for what they have done? She will also hear about the loss of Mrytle.
I do hope JR is the father of Amanda's baby a better pick then David.
Why didn't Angie go to Krystal as she would have gave her a pill to be tested. Angie was wrong and think she will be in trouble now over this.

Guess nobody thought to call Joe. Afterall, he IS only Josh's grandfather. I am sure he would not have wanted to say good-bye to his grandson.
