01/16/2004 Adam Is Warned Not To Incriminate Erica



"David told the police to arrest JR for assaulting him at the bar. When the police go to handcuff JR, Babe rushed forward and tried to stop them. Tad said that if JR hit David, he probably deserved it. "Dixie would be so happy your watching over her boy," David said, which made JR angrier. Adam pulled David aside and told him to drop the charges against JR. David said that he would not drop the charges, until they made a deal about the night Michael was murdered. Adam asked David what Michael's murder had to do with JR's arrest. The police cuffed JR, Babe begged for them to let him go, and JR barked at her to leave them alone. As the police read JR his Miranda rights, Krystal came forward and said she was a witness. She said David hit JR first, but JR did not go along with her lie. He blurted out that he did hit David first because he insulted Dixie. David claimed he did not mean to disrespect Dixie; JR was drunk and came in that bar upset about family problems. Adam asked the police if he could get a few minutes alone with JR before they took him to jail. The police agreed and went for snacks in the kitchen while David, Adam, Tad, and Palmer went to talk in the library.

The women are left alone and they all dived toward Mary with insults. Mary admitted that she is a eavesdropper and backstabber, but when she brings up Babe's shady secret, Opal gave her the next blow. Opal blabbed about Mary lying to Jackson about Greenlee and Krystal seemed satisfied that Opal was taking up for Babe. Opal warned Krystal to stay away from Palmer, and Liza retorted that he is not her type. Marian snorted, "She's everyone's type." Marian even added that Tad belonged to Liza and Krystal ran off the list of women Tad seemed to "belong to." Suddenly, Mary took center stage and began choking on a grape, while the women gaped at her! Marian got up and saved Mary's life, although no one seemed to be rejoicing. When Mary called Marian her friend, Marian stated that their friendship is over since she is working with Adam to break up JR and Babe.

Krystal told JR that he should have went along with her story, but JR lashed out and said that he didn't need to lie. "Babe learned from the best," he snapped and walked away. Babe followed him outside and she gushed about how much she loved him and their baby. He touched her tummy and told her that he was so happy when he found out he was going to be a father. For the first time, he had something of his own to love and he didn't expect to feel that way again after his mother died. Babe told JR that he was a good man and when she tries to hug him, he backed away and ushered her inside the house.

Once alone, David told Adam that he can not mention Erica's involvement the night Michael disappeared to the cops at all. Palmer told David about shooting Adam. David asked Adam if he shot Michael and Adam did not answer him directly. Tad brought up Adam using Erica as a shield to protect himself and Adam claimed that David could also do the same. Adam expected Palmer to defend him, but Palmer suddenly seemed to have a memory lapse and said, "Maybe I didn't shoot you." Palmer accused Adam of killing Michael and Adam denied it because he didn't have a motive. Palmer said the strain with his family and losing his company was more than enough motive to kill Michael. David told Adam to swear that he will not even breathe Erica's name to the cops or else he and JR will both go to jail. Adam agreed to David's terms and David leaves. He goes to tell the police not to arrest JR and that the charges have been dropped. Tad told Adam that he didn't believe he and Palmer's story and if he found out they killed Michael, he wouldn't let Kendall go to jail. David thanks Adam and leaves with a big smirk on his face. Adam went to find JR and of course, Mary followed after him. The rest of the party guests filtered out and Babe told Krystal that if she could get Paul Cramer to help with the paternity test, her marriage would last.

Kendall assured Ryan that she had no more doubts or reservations about him. She trusted him and wanted to make up for all the terrible things she did to test his trust. They share a kiss, but Ryan was still hesitant about Kendall's new found trust in him. She told him that she spoke to Bianca and Erica. They made her realize what a fool she was and that she didn't need to hassle Ryan. They made her realize she is alone because she pushes the people who love her away. Kendall told Ryan how thankful she was for his help with the trial and fake pregnancy. In order to prove that she truly trusted him, Ryan asked Kendall to take a truth test for him. He would ask her a question and she needed to tell him exactly how she was feeling at that moment -- she had to be honest. Kendall asked him if she could ask him some questions and he agreed. First, Kendall asked, "What are you thinking right now?" Ryan said, "Shopping." Kendall thought Ryan was joking, but he said he wished he had a bed, not the hard floor, so he could make love to her all night. Surprised and touched, Kendall asked "Do you love me?" Ryan says, "Yes Kendall, I love you." Ryan asked, "What are you feeling?" Kendall said she was scared and when Ryan asked why, she asked "Do you care for Greenlee?" He admitted he did care for Greenlee, but he didn't love her the way he loved Kendall. "Believe in us," he said. Kendall said she believed in them and loved him too. They made love and held each other close afterwards. Kendall admitted to Ryan that Tad, Boyd, and Aidan dumped Michael's body in the landfill. Ryan seemed impressed, but ushered thoughts of Michael out of her head.

Maggie came home and saw Bianca reading about Kendall's trial on the front page of a trashy tabloid. She told Bianca that Kendall would be set free and not to worry. Bianca filled Maggie in about Jackson figuring out she was still pregnant and admitting the truth to him. There was a knock at their door and Maggie figured it was the pizza delivery person. When she opened the door, she got the pizza, but Lena as the delivery person. Lena said she saw the pizza coming on her way in and brought it up for them. Lena also said she brought the entertainment, which turned out to be some funky, old school music to dance to. Lena and Bianca start dancing and Maggie lets her guard down for once; she dances with them and doesn't feel like a third wheel. After the dancing, Bianca sat down to rest and she felt the baby kick for the first time. Lena and Maggie touched her tummy and felt it too. Bianca took a nap, but woke up when she had a nightmare about Michael, who always seems to torment her in her dreams.

Jackson told Erica that nothing is wrong with him, he just missed her terribly. Erica asked him if something was wrong with Kendall or her trial. He told her that he has a solid case and if Kendall passes the DNA test to prove the baby is Michael's, she will look even more innocent. As soon as Jackson spoke about the baby, Erica cut him off immediately with disgust. Erica changed the subject quickly and told him that Reggie knows something about the night Michael was murdered, which might make him a suspect. Jackson told him Erica not to worry about Reggie, Bianca, Kendall, or herself because he will do whatever he has to do to protect his family. Erica told Jack not to sacrifice himself for them, especially since he knows what Erica did the night Michael was murdered. Jackson took her thoughts away from all the drama, but dancing with her and taking advantage of being alone. Jackson and Erica conveyed their love in her bedroom and afterward, Jackson held her close when she heard thunder outside.

At the Pine Valley landfill, a hand shoots up from under the trash and debris. Beyond the grave and from the depths of hell, Michael pops up from under the pile, his eyes raging with fury, and a taunting smirk plastered on his face!"
