08/06/2008 Zach Gets The Accident Report



"JR and Babe confronted Colby about her drinking. They urged Colby to go to Alcoholics Anonymous with JR. Colby did not want to go. Babe promised Colby that if she went once and hated it, she would not have to go again. Colby agreed to attend the meeting.

Colby and JR entered the A.A. meeting at the hospital. Colby watched a woman get her "90-day chip." The woman was very grateful to be sober. The moderator asked if anyone wanted to share their feelings with the group, and JR volunteered. JR rehashed all of the terrible acts that he had committed while drunk, including shooting his mother. Colby looked horrified as JR told his story. JR stated that he had lost his wife and his son because of his drinking, but he vowed to get them back.

After the meeting ended, Colby wanted to leave the hospital. JR stopped her and asked what she'd thought about the meeting. She was annoyed that JR had taken her to see a bunch of "smacked-down alcoholics." He looked hurt by the comment and wondered if Colby perceived him as a loser. Colby snapped that she did not need A.A. because she was not an alcoholic.

Kendall told Zach that she thought Annie was crazy. Zach explained that Annie had invited them on a trip to Las Vegas with her and Ryan. Zach suggested that they go on the trip. Kendall did not want to go anywhere with Annie. He felt that it would be a good opportunity to see Annie in a different environment, so they could decipher if there were something truly wrong with her.

Kendall was still hesitant. Zach affirmed that it was important for them to find out if Annie was unstable because, if she was, she should not be around their children. Kendall agreed to go on the trip but worried about telling Babe and Amanda that she would be gone from work.

Zach went to the police station and asked an officer if he could see the report on Annie's car accident. The officer said that he would get Zach the file, since it was public record. Jesse overheard Zach's request and asked why he wanted to see the report. Zach slyly smiled and claimed that he was curious. After Zach received the file and walked away, Jesse told the officer that he wanted a copy of the report too.

Babe and Amanda were at Fusion. They were both livid because they were the only ones at work. They complained that Greenlee and Kendall did not pull their own weight at the company. Amanda commented that Annie was milking her injuries so she could play hooky. Just then, Kendall entered with coffee and pastries.

Babe and Amanda were uninterested in the food. Kendall could sense that they were annoyed, so she explained that family emergencies were distracting her from work. Kendall proceeded to announce that, due to the family problems, she was taking a few days off from work. Babe was furious and yelled, "I quit!" Kendall begged Babe to stay. Amanda added that she would quit if Babe quit.

Kendall looked worried and reminded Babe and Amanda that they had gotten through very rough times in the past, and they could do it again. Kendall divulged that she had to go to Las Vegas with Annie to try to mend their relationship. Babe and Amanda were skeptical. Kendall admitted that she thought Annie was crazy and that the trip was a chance to find out what she was up to.

Babe and Amanda relaxed. Kendall asked what she could do to make them happy. They said that they wanted better hours and better pay. Kendall said they would discuss the issue when she returned, but she gave Babe hiring power, so they could obtain more employees.

Dre and Samuel discussed the charges Dre faced. Dre assumed that Samuel was angry because his poll numbers were dropping. Samuel affirmed that he was not sorry about slipping in the polls, but he was sorry that Dre had not told him the truth about the hit-and-run sooner. Dre noted that his father had not revealed everything about his life, like his relationship with Erica. Dre's grandfather broke up the argument and reminded the men that they both needed to be more open with their communication.

Samuel apologized for being inattentive at times, but promised to get his son exonerated. Dre wondered if that was possible. Samuel said that the first step was for Dre to stop seeing Cassandra. Samuel explained that it would be bad for both of them to be seen together. Although Dre was disappointed that he had to put his relationship with Cassandra on hold, he agreed to stop dating her because it was in her best interest. The grandfather was happy to see the two men working together. The grandfather noted that they were acting like a family, and they all hugged.

Angie talked to Frankie about Cassandra. Angie was distraught over Cassandra's involvement in Richie's murder case. Furthermore, Angie was upset because Cassandra refused to speak to her. Frankie stated that Cassandra would not speak to him either. Still, he assured his mother that both of her children were strong and could survive hard times.

Angie confessed that she was worried about Frankie, as well, due to his involvement with Randi and Fletcher. He reminded his mother that she had taught him to look past what a person did in order to see who they really were as a person. He stated that Randi was a good person, and he wanted to date her. Angie was not happy but agreed to stop meddling in his life.

There was a knock at the door, and Frankie answered it. The nurse, Jill, from the hospital, arrived because Angie had invited her for dinner. Angie apologized for forgetting about the dinner and asked if they could reschedule. Jill said it was not a problem and left. Frankie laughed because he knew that his mother was trying to set him up with Jill. Angie confessed that it was her intention.

As Frankie left their apartment, Angie urged him to be careful. He reminded her that he had gone to war in Iraq and could protect himself. After Frankie exited his home, two men attacked him.

Carmen was cleaning in the living room while Adam read the newspaper. Erica entered, and Carmen got excited. Erica announced that she needed Adam's help to get the charges against Dre dropped. Adam refused to help and accused Erica of using Dre's case to bed Samuel. Carmen exclaimed that Erica did not use men like that. Adam laughed.

Carmen continued to yell at Adam, so he fired her. After Adam left the room, Erica promised to get Carmen another job. Erica then left Kendall a message stating that she had a new employee lined up for her."
