The World's Gone Mad!

Tuesday, August 11 2009
Scott gets lessons from David, Erica learns of Adam's engagement, and Zach and Jesse's plot is revealed!


Scott kisses Marissa in the hospital. She says he caught her off guard - she wasn't expecting that! He assumes she's not happy about it, and says he's used to being blown off, adding that he realizes she'd never fall for him because he's not JR! Marissa wonders why everyone assumes she's in love with JR. Scott just tells her to call him when she needs a shoulder to cry on, and leaves.



Annie, at the Chandler Mansion, is talking to Emma on the phone. She tells her daughter never to tell what she really saw that night. Adam hears, and asks who is on the phone! She admits it was Emma, and Adam warns that the court ordered no contact! Annie says she has to pick up the phone when she calls her. Dr. Nolan arrives to see Annie. Adam steps over to the phone and calls the judge - he tells his friend that he's getting married, but his wife-to-be has gotten herself into a predicament - and he's just the man to help! Annie tells Dr. Nolan that she's engaged.



Ryan comes into the room where Emma is just hanging up the phone. He asks what she promised, and to whom? He calls Jesse, who comes over straight away. Ryan tells him that Annie gave Emma a phone. They go over the phone records and see that Annie has been busy. Ryan says that Annie also called the house to tell Emma that she is engaged to Adam! Ryan wants Annie to be held accountable for violating the court order, but Jesse says it may not be enough!



At the prison, Erica argues with Liza and fires her. The guard takes Erica's note to Kendall - but it's a lookalike in the cell! Liza tells Erica that she can't fire her - Zach hired her. Erica says that was based on a one night stand - Kendall needs a lawyer with her best interests at heart! The guard comes to tell Erica that Kendall still won't see her. Liza urges Erica to give her time to adjust.



Zach and Kendall talk in the attic. She asks him how she got there. He says this is where she should be - with him and the boys - and she'll never leave them. Zach tells her that Jesse gave her drugs - they're starting to wear off. She says she remembers the judge giving her life in prison, Jesse leading her out, Marian shooting, Zach saying goodbye, then Jesse leading her to the prison van. She remembers seeing a woman in a corridor, and then nothing else. Kendall is appalled, but Zach assures her there will be no man-hunt - Kendall Hart Slater is in prison doing her time right now! Kendall digests that fact that there is someone posing as her in prison. Zach tells her that it will only be for as long as it takes to prove that Annie shot Stuart. Kendall tries to leave, but is locked in! Zach warns that she would ruin Jesse's life if she were to run. He tells her the room is soundproof and goes to answer the door. After he leaves, Kendall hears Spike in the baby monitor!



Liza arrives in Marissa's hospital room, apologizing again for what happened. Marissa asks after Marian, and Liza says they've taken her for evaluation. They discuss the case, and Liza admits to Marissa that she wants to appeal, but Zach nor Kendall will see her. Marissa asks why she's so concerned. Liza says it's Zach - he's suddenly resigned to seeing Kendall stay in prison! Marissa says, "You like him." Liza says she'll check in with her later.



Jesse visits the Chandler Mansion and tells Adam that Annie's calls to Emma need to stop - or Ryan will press to have her returned to prison. Adam tells Jesse that he's a very resourceful man - and he's going to get Annie out from under all these charges - as a wedding gift! Annie comes bounding into the room after a successful session with Dr. Nolan, and Jesse shakes his head as they kiss. After Jesse leaves, Adam and Annie open a bottle of champagne. When the cork pops, Adam hears a gunshot in his mind! He gasps, "Oh my God! Stuart!" He quickly exits the room, saying he needs to rest.



David parks himself beside Scott at the bar in Confusion. He thanks him for visiting Marissa. Scott says that's what friends are for - that's all they'll ever be. David muses that it could change. Scott then asks David for tips on the whole 'Prince of Darkness' thing! David tells Scott to go after her, and to crush anything that gets in his way - even people he loves! David warns that once that fire is there - it's in you forever - and you end up alone, or sharing a beer with people who don't like you very much!



Zach lets Liza into the house. She says she just came from the prison and Kendall won't see anyone - including Erica and her! She wonders how she is supposed to do an appeal if Kendall won't talk to her. Zach tries to put her off, but Liza says she saved Kendall's life - and the payback starts now. She says an appeal could get Kendall off - he needs to work with her on some level! Zach says he will, but not tonight, and not in his house around the kids. He ushers her out and closes the door in her face!



Erica goes to Ryan's house and says she doesn't know what to do - Kendall refuses to see her, and it seems that both she and Zach have just given up! Ryan suggests that they back off, but Erica says they need to do something - she wants Ryan to go see Kendall, as a friend. Ryan doesn't want to be involved anymore - he feels he should be focusing on Emma right now. He tells Erica that Annie has been contacting her, and even threatening to go for custody since she's become engaged to Adam. Erica gasps - the world has gone mad!



Zach returns to the attic where he finds Kendall listening to Spike through the monitor. Kendall says she wants to see the boys - and hold them and kiss them! Zach shakes his head and says, "You can't." He explains that she'll have to be their imaginary mom. They go down to see Spike, where Zach tells her that the rest of the world will think she's a figment of the boys' imaginations. Kendall soothes Spike and says that she will never leave him again.



Alone at home, later, Ryan is watching the same movie as Erica is at her house. He picks up the phone and calls her to apologize for earlier. She says she understands that he needs to focus on Emma. They realize they are watching the same movie, then say goodnight. They both look at their phones and think of the other.



Liza goes back to see Marissa. She says that she saw Zach and he agreed to help with the appeal - but something is different - he's closed off. Marissa wonders if she's always this concerned about her clients. Liza protests, but finally admits she may have a little thing for Zach. Marissa promises to keep mum.


David goes to Liza's room at the Yacht Club. She opens the door and asks what he's doing there. He says something they'll both regret in the morning. With that, he grabs her and kisses her!


Scott comes into the Chandler Mansion to find Annie sprawled in her bikini on the sofa, sipping champagne. He shocks her by stripping off and heading to the pool!


Next on All My Children:

Kendall wants to clear the air with Zach.

Zach is determined to make Annie pay for Stuart’s murder.

Scott advises JR to stand by Marissa.

I vote for Annie as mother of the year. She is teaching Emma to lie, steal and
cheat and send someone to prison for a crime they did not commit. She must be so
proud. And Richie must be looking up and grinning at Annie because she has
turned into him.

Zach is stupid if he thinks that nobody will find out that's not Kendall. I can't wait for Jesse to be busted. All this was not even necessary.

Posted by jumps at Tuesday, August 11 2009 11:42 AM

Zach and Adam are cut from the same cloth. They use their money and power to whatever the heck they want.

Posted by cowboys fan at Tuesday, August 11 2009 11:45 AM

Jumps, she has my vote too. Ryan wanted Emma to lie and say she didn't see Kendall shoot Stuart. Then he tries to cover for Kendall after she confessed to murder. Yep, he's no better than Annie.

Father of the year, I think not.

Jumps one thing I do agree with you about is Adam and Zach. They are two peas in a pod.

Posted by AMCguy at Tuesday, August 11 2009 12:16 PM

Okay...I'm trying to sort this out. Jesse has put his career on the line (and perhaps his marriage) while Zach has put himself at risk of being sent to prison for MAJOR felony charges by springing Kendall and now harboring a fugitive, all because the two boys need their mom, yet she can't really be there so the kids must think she's imaginary.

GREAT PLAN!

And if I am not mistaken, didn't we hear creaking upstairs in the Slater home, which was Kendall walking around in the supposed sound-proof room? Ooops. Wouldn't surprise me if one of the Chandler tunnels led to that room.

So here's an idea. How about if the look-alike gets knifed in jail? Everyone thinks Kendall is dead, Zach not only has to figure out who killed Stuart to exonerate Kendall, he has to figure out how get Kendall back to life without implicating himself or Jesse. THAT, I would tune in to see.

And call me crazy, but I still think it was Marian who killed Stuart for reasons as yet unexplained. Although I absolutely love the idea - was it yours, jumps? - posted a few days ago that it was Little A. That's my new favorite outcome. In that whacko family, having your first murder under your diaper is a real accomplishment!

Well now I am sure Adam killed Stuart and Annie knows it. She figured she can use Adam's clout to get her charges dropped, get custody of Emma back from Batman and either Adam will die of old age or go to prison and she will have all his money as the new Mrs. Chandler. Nothing short of what a young Erica Kane would have done.

Posted by mjosephs at Tuesday, August 11 2009 12:30 PM

OK....Adam and Zach are apparently very, very rich and have a lot of clout. Gee, that's about the closest it gets to the REAL WORLD isn't it. Look at how the politicians and the affluent get away with everything in our world, yes, even murder.

HI SISSY !!!!

Alicia Minshew is expecting a child with her real-life husband and the show is not going to give her another child on the show. So we can expect to see some camera shots with her behind furniture, in loose outfits (which she has never, ever worn), etc. That is if they ever wrap up this convoluted story.

Who would give up weeks, months and possible years of their life to serve a prison sentence for another person. There is no amount of money or amount of trouble that a normal, sane person could be in that would make thme think this is a viable soloution. Prisoners aren't kept in solitude just because they don't want to be bothered.

So now we are to think Adam shot is twin....that is what Annie is trying to hide so he will marry her???? Twins are close and even with everything that David put Adam through I don't think he could have blocked that out for this long. IMHO, this is just another way to keep this awful S/L going.

I agree with all the comments everyone is posting about the lessons that Annie is teaching Emma and let us not forget she is giving her a good excuse to be insane when she is in her 20's. I also agree with the viewer who posted that until last year Annie was a great mother and the TPTB decided that she had to be crazy. She dyed her hair and proceeded to go crazy....I guess it must be the dye she's using. I hate what they did to this charcter, but she has done too much to be redeemed.

They are also going to make Ryan and Erica a couple; one that will show that age has nothing to do with people being together. I, for one am disgusted and not because of their ages.

Binaks and Ryan were/are best friends, he was one of the first people (if memory serves me well, he was the first) to know that she was gay. He was loving and supportive of her then and he's always been there for her. He's been a big brother to her and her best friend.

How many times have Ryan and Kendall been a couple? They share a child together and so much history. When Ryan hooked up with Annie, Kendall supported it (after the beginning) and even tried to keep Greenlee from destrying their wedding. When Ryan was first married to Annie; Greenlee and Kendall became best buds again. In the end Kendall worked to get Greens and Ryan back together. She has been suspecting for months that something was going on between her mom and Ryan and she hasn't be at all happy. Once they are officially a couple, she will freak.

It seems that TPTB have forgotten that Kendall has had a heart transplant. I clearly remember David saying her life could not be stressfull. Let's me see if I remember all the stresses:
Thinking hubby was cheating with Reese.
Her sister's betryal, rheir enstrangement, then their reunion.
Losing Greenlee.
Seperating from Zach and falling into Ryan's arms again.
Fighting with her mother over her marriage and the affair with Ryan, adnauseum..
The first time Ian had surgery.
Finding her mother and Ryan in a cabin and her mother was naked.
Ian had to have surgery, again.
She's still fighting with her mother, telling Erica that she and Zach are over and she is with Ryan,
She thinks Ian has died and does to kill Adam.
Zach is arested and she finds out that he confessed to protect her so she could be with the boys. After she convinces him she did not do it, he recants and she is arrested.
She knows her Zach has been with someone and will later know it is Liza.
Ryan convinces them (Zanch and Kendall) to remarry so he won't have to testify agains her. (Why didn't Ryan marry her so he wouldn't have to testify against her. His testimony is just as damaging)
She tries to divide her time between her sick child and Ryan, still telling Erica that she and that Zach are through and she's with Ryan.
Evidence mounts.
Ryan finds her grieving in Greenlees apartment and get her to admot that she is not over Zach.
She confronts Annie with disasteorus results.
Jack finds out that she is responsible for Greenlees death and chews her out and quits being her lawyer.
She finds that Zach is not ready to fall back in her arms, so she runs to Ryan for comfort. He slightly pushes her away. The next time she runs to him, she finds Erica in his shirt. SHE IS NOT PLEASED.
When she sees Erica at the office and give her a cold shoulder because of the above, Erica shows Kendall her neck where Annie tries to kill her when Erica tried to get her to confess to killing Stuart.
She hallucinates about Suart.
She is taken to jail to await her trial beginning in the morning and has another hallucination. Becomes hysterical and confesses to killing him.
Marion attempts to kill her.
Did I miss anything? I don't guess Zach bothered to check with a cardologist before he had Jesse drug her?

She already showed that she did not like the thought of Ryan with her mother. This is going to make them go backwards in their relationship. While Erica and Ryan's relationship is not actuallty incestuous, it's as close as you can get without having one. Wasn't her son Josh, Ryan's age?

I think Krystal would be good with Ryan. She's older, (not as much as Erica) but she has a huge heart. She's made mistakes, but she has learned from them and she loves kids. The writers have already decided that the older woman, younger man S/L will be Erica and Ryan. So somewhere down the road Ryan will probably be with Marissa.

I still say it could be Nurse Gail who has takes Amanda's baby or is it the mother of Liza's baby???

cowboys fan ...are you making this stuff up? Ryan NEVER told Emma to lie about Kendall or anyone. The only thing he ever said to Emma was tell the truth.
