All My Children - DAILY UPDATES

At Wildwind David brings Krystal some juice and comments on the beautiful day. He asks how she is and she says she is fine and doesn't blame anyone for what happened. David is certain that the Chandler's and Martin's won't feel the same. He is certain that Tad and JR will use the near-hit to ruin David's reputation. She says they can't prove anything without her say-so and asks him to trust her. He takes her hand and says he does.

Jesse and Angie are having breakfast with Little A and Natalia. Little A wants to go to school but Angie says school is out. The kiddo is confused so Jesse takes him aside and tells him how much he is loved so much that a lot of people want him to live with them. Angie chimes in that until the judge makes the big decision they get to play all day. They make hand puppets and Little A pretends that his puppet is Big Judge! Natalia convinces him to turn the judge into a dragon and then sends Jesse and Angie to lunch. She sits with Little A on the ledge and they talk. They go back inside and Natalia decides to get a movie.

Zach brings Myrtle's picture back to the casino. Erica arrives and congratulates him on winning the casino but says Ryan still has the rest of Zach's life! Zach pretends not to care about Cambias but Erica cuts to the chase, saying Kendall and the boys are worth more than his company. Zach points out that Kendall made her own decision but Erica keeps pushing him to go after Kendall, saying she is still in shock over Greenlee's death. "Ryan is using Kendall for comfort and Kendall is using him the same way," Erica says. But Zach won't listen. He picks up the picture of Myrtle as Erica asks about his mother's death. She reminds him that he hasn't recovered from his mother's death any more than she has recovered from her father's abandonment – and he can't do that to Spike and Ian! Zach walks away.

At ConFusion Jake and Amanda meet with the lawyer, who advises Amanda to go along with the waiting period but she insists that she doesn't want any kind of delay in the adoption. The lawyer asks how the father feels and they hesitate. Jake finally says the father isn't involved and the lawyer insists that he has to be! Finally Amanda says she doesn't know who the father is and the lawyer suggests a DNA test! She is about to leave the table when Jake says he is the baby's father! The lawyer says they should give parenthood a chance together but they insist that isn't possible. He gives in and hands them the adoption paperwork, but then says they need to think about their decision. He leaves. When they are alone Amanda says they need a lawyer who isn't so keen on birth parents' rights. Jake says he has an idea but then David walks in! Jesse and Angie arrive, see the three of them and turn around. David goes to Jake and demands to know why Angie has taken a leave all of a sudden. Jake says he doesn't know so David walks off. Amanda and Jake finish their lunch and leave. Jesse and Angie take a table on the other side of the restaurant but David finds them anyway, notes the hand puppet on Angie's fist and suddenly drops his attack. He leaves. He returns and makes a threat before leaving.

Kendall puts her arms around Ryan at the house. He says she is beautiful and she says she has to shine – or she's no trophy for him! He insists she isn't his trophy but Kendall doesn't believe him after the card game. She asks what he feels for her. He says he needs her and wants her, upsetting Kendall even more. When she pushes harder Ryan turns the tables on her. Kendall says she can't imagine her life without him in it! Ryan reaches out to her and pulls her onto his lap. They kiss. Zach walks in and sees them! He has a bag of clothes and says he is moving in! He unpacks, telling Kendall that the house is his and he wants to be near the boys. She says she can't live with him but Zach pretends not to see the problem. She tells him to go away but he won't go. He gives them one condition – Ryan can't sleep with Kendall in Zach's bed! He goes upstairs. When he comes back downstairs Ryan says this won't work. He leaves to pick up Emma and tells Kendall not to let Zach get to her. Zach says they need a family meeting. Ryan kisses Kendall and walks out. She turns to Zach and says she'll move to Ryan's and reminds him that he left her first. Zach says he never left her, he just said they needed space. When she says she'll take the boys to Ryan's Zach lays down the law – the boys stay with him! She fights with him but he says he'll win because she is the one cheating in their marriage and ruining their family. She gives in and says she'll stay at the house only if he leaves. Zach yells at her to get out and Ian starts to cry. Zach gets him up and apologizes for being loud. He and Kendall calm the kiddo and as they are working together start to find common ground.

At Tad's Opal tells Tad and JR that their plan won't succeed. She says they can't use Krystal to go after David or she'll cave in. JR still wants to use the fact that David is possibly abusive but Tad finally agrees with Opal, telling JR that they can't risk it. JR pushes Tad to go with him to the cops and report the bruise he saw but Tad won't budge. JR turns to go and then Krystal walks in! JR questions her about the bruise. She says she fell by accident but JR keeps pushing and asks if she was high! Tad and Opal try to get JR out of the house but he keeps pressing Krystal about David's abusive tendencies. She says he can't prove anything; JR asks what happens if David loses his temper with Little A sometime – just like Ray used to lose his temper with Tad and Opal! Opal jumps on JR's bandwagon, telling Krystal that she took the abuse because she thought she deserved it and then one day Ray lost his temper and went after Tad! Tad gets uncomfortable. Krystal puts Jenny in her playpen and hurries out the door. Tad follows her. She accuses him of setting her up and storms out. Tad turns on JR, who isn't the least bit sorry. Jake and Amanda walk in and ask about Krystal's bruise. JR gets a head of steam going and storms out, vowing to file a police report. Jake makes Amanda comfortable after Opal and Tad leave. Amanda says the baby would be lucky if he were the father and not David.

Erica tracks down Ryan at ConFusion and demands that he come with her to put out a few fires at Fusion. Ryan says he is too busy trying to help Kendall, who is trying to fend off Zach's latest tricks. Erica says Kendall is right where she belongs and tells Ryan to stop blaming Zach for Greenlee's death. He can't. He reminds Erica that Spike is his son and not Zach's. Erica tries to distract him with Fusion business and Greenlee. He says he'll deal with business tomorrow but Erica pushes him. He refuses to listen and says he is getting Kendall and the boys. Erica can't believe that Kendall would move in with Ryan and tells him not to be surprised if Kendall stays with Zach. Ryan is confident of his position. Erica turns to go but when Ryan isn't watching, goes back into the bar. Kendall arrives and tells Ryan that she can't move the boys to his place – so she is staying at the house with Zach!

David knocks softly on the Hubbard's door and when Little A answers, tells him to be quiet! Natalia searches the apartment for Little A, who is missing. JR walks in and says he knows exactly where Little A is.

Krystal returns to Wildwind and finds David there with Little A. He tells her to pack but she refuses to leave town with him and the boy!

Erica arrives at Zach's and is relieved when he says that Kendall will be back soon. They are talking when Zach realizes that Ian isn't breathing!
