All My Children 1/20/11

Drunk or closed?

        Erica pushed Jack away again, saying she was returning to the hospital to speak with David; she wanted to plead with him not to press any charges on Kendall for shooting him. Jack was annoyed when she declined his coming with her, so instead of his following Erica, he went to Kystal's Restaurant. There, he opened up to Krystal about how much farther he felt Erica was getting away from him. Literally and figuratively.
     JR encouraged Marissa to spend the night at his estate as she wanted AJ to peter-out his energy there and sleep. She declined at first, but JR suckered in staying as he would be an understanding ear for her to dwell on her poor relationship with her father, David.. Later, when Marissa was making her way to Pine Valley Hospital to let Jesse know she would be acting as her father's attorney, (She never learns--at this point, you'd think she'd push David out of her life as she only discovered him a few years ago...and has he never let her down? He's practically a stranger.) JR was sitting in the den reading over his final divorce decree. He ignored a cell phone call from Annie. Annie, stop calling him! He's no good and his platinum winter hat-inspired hair-do is enough to keep you away.
     Griffin spotted Kendall again in David's hospital room. (Really, is it any wonder Zach was always angry with her obsessions?!) Griffin told her to leave him alone and mentioned the incident where she thought about suffocating David while he was in his coma. David hadn't known about this before the rough doctor brought it up, but with this new information, David started to realize Kendall had no recollection of her shooting David. If David was shot in the back and was wrestling Ryan at the time of injury, how did he know Kendall had shot him? Hmmmmm....(Back to our new doctor, after constantly being involved in her personal affairs, Griffin told Kendall to see a "shrink" for her woes! Uh, now he decides to butt out?)
     Erica pleaded with David to keep Kendall in the dark and to let her family move on with life. Smugly, he said he liked seeing her in this position. Dun dun duunnnnnnn!
     Oh, and Ryan proposed to Greenlee.
