All My Children Update Tuesday 7/17/01
By Angela
It's the next morning after the break in at
Erica's and Jack is there doing a *security check* of her house. She is dressed in a tiny little robe. Jack goes upstairs to check things out when
the doorbell rings. Erica answers it
and it's Myrtle. Myrt tells her that she's
brought her new border to reinstall the locks on Erica's doors. He's young, good looking, likes to play
poker, and if she were a few years younger she might go for him herself. It turns out to be none other than Chris,
and he and Erica get into a heated fight.
She finally agrees to let him change the locks on her door, and while
she is talking to Myrtle, he taps her phone and plants a bug in the house. He also returns the keys he stole the day
before. Erica sees him holding the
phone and goes into a tirade. How dare
he use her phone without permission?!?
They struggle over it and her robe comes opened, revealing a skimpy
black lace bra. He tells her he is late
for his other job and leaves. When he
gets outside he checks out the equipment to make sure it's working, intercepts
a phone call from Erica's shipping department, and relays a message to his
mystery accomplice that "Sweeney has been silenced and Erica Kane is
next."
Tad is at the police department being
grilled by Derek. Tad swears that he
only beat Sweeney up but he didn't kill him.
Dixie shows up and tells him that she's left a message for Jack but he
hasn't called back yet. (He's at
Erica's doing a *security check*) Was
he there all night? Who knows! Derek tells Tad he can go because he really
has no evidence to hold him there and his story is consistent with the cuts and
bruises that Sweeney has. Also, there
is no murder weapon to account for the blow to the head with a blunt
object. Tad can go, but he's "not
to leave town." As he's leaving,
one of the officers shows up with the murder weapon. It's a crowbar. Tad is
relieved because this will clear him of all charges.
Tad and Dixie leave and get in their
car. Tad gives Dixie a heart pendant
and tells her how much he loves her.
They kiss. Suddenly, Derek jerks
the door open and demands that Tad get out.
The weapon was dusted for prints--Tad's prints were lifted. Tad insists that his jack is in the trunk of
the car. Derek demands that he pop the
trunk. Tad does and the jack isn't
there. Another officer brings down a
warrant and Tad is arrested for the murder of Sweeney.
Marcus, Shannon, Mindy, Kenny, and a new
girl who I assume to be a replacement for Heather are at SOS. (I guess SOS is serving breakfast now) They are discussing Sweeney's death and who
may have killed him. Kenny suggests
that he was probably swallowing the inventory and was short on paying his
suppliers. Phil and Rosa come in and
Marcus runs over to ask Rosa to go with him to Leo and Laura's wedding reception. She agrees to go and then tries to figure
out what she's going to wear. Phil
suggests going to Lacy's to pick something out. Rosa has no money, so she goes and asks Mateo again for a
job. He tells her no, she has a job at
the rectory and even though it doesn't pay, it keeps her out of trouble.
She tells him how important it is to go to
the party and be a normal 17 year old and he gives in. He gives her $200 plus some to buy rubber
gloves--because she's his new dishwasher and the $200 is an advance on her
pay. He also tells her that she's
dressing too provocatively and that she needs to tone it down because Marcus
might expect her to be like the other girls.
Marcus tells Rosa that he can't wait to see
her and to buy something with him in mind.
Shannon comes over and threatens to tell Rosa what Marcus likes to do on
the first date. He grabs her arm, drags
her out to the alley, and threatens to kill her if she utters a word.
Bianca tells Gabriel about the story of
Cinderella because he's never heard it.
She realizes that he's got a crush on Rosa and invites him to the
wedding reception.
