All: Oh!

Ryan: Wow, the whole thing. I like -- that is fun. So people really play these stupid games at wedding showers?

Julia: Yeah. Ooh, it's a rite of passage. You want presents, you get games.

Ryan: Ok, well, we definitely want presents.

Annie: Oh -- oh! Hey, hey, Jonathan's missing all the fun.

Ryan: Yes, he is. You know what I could do, though? I could go to the mall maybe, and I could --

Annie: No, no, no, no, no. Sorry, you're stuck.

Del: Look out. Why do you send it to me?

Julia and Di: Oh!

Del: That's right. Well, you know what? I'm not the marrying kind, anyway. It's great, it's fine.

Di: And -- and -- and -- whoo!

Ryan: Are you sure that you're all right with moving out and everything? You'll be all right?

Annie: It's been a rough 24 hours, but I'm ok. Getting better every second.

Zach: Whoa! All right. Oh, God, I'm out.

Kendall: He's out. You're out. I am sorry you're out. Yeah --

Ryan: Zach --

Kendall: I got to go with him. Ok, so -- so your father's gone --

Zach: Yeah.

Kendall: And -- and all is well. So do you care to give me specifics, mister?

Zach: And -- and miss all the fun in there?

Kendall: Spill, Mr. Slater, spill.

Zach: My father's finally been transferred, so that means you're going to be safe. The baby, me -- everyone's going to be safe.

Kendall: What are you not telling me?

Hannah: Could I get a martini?

Del: Oh, sorry. Sorry. You know, what's -- what do you think of "bedfellows," or "friends with benefits"?

Hannah: Excuse me?

Del: Titles for my new book. It's about this big, eclectic group of friends. We all live in this old mansion and we --

Hannah: Thank you. Maybe you should talk to somebody who cares, hmm?

Jonathan: Sorry -- I'm so sorry!

Ava: Hey, watch it!

Jonathan: I didn't even see -- you.

Amanda: You think my mom's looking at the moon right now?

J.R.: Your mother should be looking at the inside of a padded cell.

Jamie: Did you find anything on Adam's network?

J.R.: I can't get into his e-mail. I've tried every password I possibly could think of.

Jamie: That's all right. The agent's upstairs working online with the FBI's computer analysis team.

Amanda: Well, what if she never calls? What if the FBI has all these traces and tails, and she doesn't contact me?

J.R.: Then we'll find her.

Jamie: And my sister.

[Phone beeps]

Jamie: Oh, it's -- oh, it's Aidan. There are three separate reports of cars stolen around the time Janet ditched her first one, all in the same area.

J.R.: Did they mention any car seats?

Jamie: One was reported with an infant carrier, but she could have taken hers out.

J.R.: Then we're getting closer.

Amanda: I wish you could hear me, Mom. I need you.

Janet: Amanda?

[Janet sees an apparition of Amanda who quickly disappears]

Janet: Did you hear anything, Maura? You didn't, huh? I guess we're just alone here, huh, just the two of us. Well, and -- and Natalie and Miss Snookies. Would you like a piece of cake? Adam will not be getting anything to eat. No. That dirty bird. Adam -- he lied to me. We are going to be leaving without him. Not before he pays for trying to take you away from me.

Adam: Yes, if -- if, Barry, hypothetically speaking. If I were to hire this crooked adoption attorney, you think I'd be stupid enough to leave a money trail? I don't care what he said. It's his word against mine. Don't even take his calls. Yes, he's trying to save his neck by shaking me down. Put an end to it.

Tad: This ends now.

Adam: Would you get out of my house, Martin? You're still operating under the false illusion that I know something about your missing daughter.

Tad: Don't even try to deny it.

Adam: Why are you blathering at me? Why aren't you out somewhere putting your -- your brilliant deductive reasoning to work?

Tad: Adam, do you really want the death of an innocent baby on your head?

Adam: My conscience has never been clearer.

Tad: Look, Janet's out there somewhere. She's off her medication. Anything can happen.

Adam: I haven't seen Janet since you guys locked me into that freak show called the sanitarium.

Tad: Look, it is not too late for you to do something. It's not too late for you to prove that you're a human being. Help us find Janet, before she does something that we can't stop. It's not too late.

Janet: You never mind about Adam. Oh, he's not worth taking time away from my precious one. And you are my precious one, aren't you? Hush, little baby don't you cry, Mama's gonna ... Mama da, da-da. Natty, what are the words to that song? Mama's gonna -- oh, why can't I think? Mama's gonna take you far away

Amanda's voice: You aren't really going to replace me with that baby -- are you? You know what it's like not hearing from you for so long?

Janet: Oh. I've been busy, Amanda, taking care of your new little sister.

Amanda: Please don't leave me, Mom. Don't turn your back on me. Take me with you.

Janet: Can't I have both, my Amanda, and you, Maura? I love Amanda. Everything I do is for Amanda. If I couldn't have both of you, that means I would have to get rid of you.

Amanda: Please find the baby. Please, God, bring her home safe.

J.R.: Damn it! I still can't get in. Where is she? Is that the best you can do, is pray to the freaking moon?

Amanda: I'm saying a prayer for the baby.

J.R.: Yes, yes, and everything's going to be just fine. That prayer will drop Jenny right off into Krystal's lap.

Amanda: You're throwing keyboards around. Which one of us is more productive?

Jamie: Drop it. It's not doing any good to lay into each other.

J.R.: Ugh! I'm going to go for a walk. Maybe I'll have a streak of brilliance, or divine intervention.

[Amanda sighs]

Amanda: I'd be pissed, too, if I was J.R. -- not just at me, at Adam, too.

Jamie: He has good reason.

Amanda: You grow up listening to your parents, expecting them always to be right. They take care of you. And then, bam, it's your turn to take care of them, as if your life isn't hard enough already.

Jamie: We aren't perfect. Neither are our parents.

Amanda: You don't have a messed-up mom like I do, or a vicious father like Adam Chandler.

Jamie: That doesn't mean I agree with everything my parents do. You couldn't have a better dad than mine. But I thought Tad the Cad was long gone. All of a sudden, he sleeps with a married woman and gets her pregnant? What the heck was he thinking? I just want to slap him upside the head sometimes.

Amanda: I wish I could talk to my dad right now. If it weren't for me, I could. He'd still be alive.

[Music plays]

Zach: My father's still alive. He may never walk again.

Kendall: Why do I feel like there's a "but" coming?

Di: Hey. You two, now, come on. Play kissy-face later. I think it's a good time for toasts.

Kendall: Oh --

Di: Come on.

Kendall: Uh -- do you mind?

Zach: Party waits for no man --

Kendall: Ok.

Zach: Or no woman.

Kendall: Right. Honey, we'll talk later.

Zach: Mm-hmm.

Kendall: Yes. What do you think?

Di: Yeah, it looks good.

Ryan: It's probably her claim to fame. Will you excuse us for one quick second?

Julia: Ok.

Ryan: Ok, thank you. So I want you to take a look around. I want you to look around, look at all of the very, very happy people. That is all for you.

Annie: It's for us.

Ryan: I'm serious. In the middle of all the insanity, they wanted to show how much that they cared, and from the people that couldn't be here, some presents and cards.

Annie: Yeah. Erin would've loved this.

Ryan: Yeah, she would have. She loved you.

Singer: Feels so right tonight I'm in heaven here with you

[Staring at Josh across the crowded room, Hannah recalls their recent close encounter in her office]

Hannah: Oh! Ah!

Singer: Your love will keep me safe and warm tonight

Singers: In your arms I can feel my love for you

Singer: Feels so right tonight

Di: I guess Lily left already. I wanted to ask her about Ava.

Kendall: Yeah, I think it was too much noise and commotion for her. Though, I hear Ava's a commotion herself.

Di: You know what? She's not that bad.

Kendall: According to Jackson and my mom, she's not exactly subtle.

Di: Yeah, but Lily still loves having her around, right?

Kendall: True. I mean, she's so excited to talk about her sister, Ava -- sisters like me and Bianca. But we can't help worrying.

Di: You know what? Give Ava a chance. Give her a -- just give her a chance to prove you and everybody else wrong.

Singer: In your eyes

Ava: Hey, buddy, are you going to help me pick my stuff up or are you going to be your usual rude self?

Jonathan: So whose credit card did you steal?

Ava: Just give me my stuff, Jonathan.

Jonathan: You always dress that way when you go to a mall?

Ava: Yeah. You always look at girls dressed like me?

Jonathan: "Lily"? You stole Lily's credit card?

Ava: That's none of your business!

Jonathan: You are a sneaky little bitch!

Di: A few words from our hostess.

Ryan: All right! This should be interesting.

Kendall: Uh-huh, thank you. Ok, ladies and not-so-gentlemen, everyone grab your respective beverages.

Ryan: Oh, yeah.

Kendall: Ahem. I am here tonight to help celebrate a wonderful event -- the impending marriage of the man that I once loved.

[At her desk, Greenlee finishes addressing Ryan's invitation, sealing the envelope with a green wax butterfly]

Kendall: Ok. So, everyone here knows that I was not exactly nice to Annie when she first got together with Ryan. Uh -- I'm not sure I thought anyone would be right for him.

[Laughter]

Kendall: I'm sorry, I --

Julia: You can't have them all, Kendall.

[Laughter]

Kendall: That's true, true, but thank God I -- I already have who I want. However, Ryan is an exceptional man, and I'm honored to call him my friend. So he deserves the best. He deserves a woman who can give her whole heart to him. And, Annie, I've seen you with Ryan. I've seen how good you are to him and how good you are for him, and you've been nothing but amazing with my son, Spike.

Annie: Well, he's a great little guy, and he has an amazing dad.

Ryan: Hmm.

Kendall: So, while we can't take back our lapses in judgment, we can admit that we made them. So, mark your calendars people. This is a very big, historic day.

[Laughter]

Kendall: Kendall Hart Slater is admitting that she made a mistake.

All: Oh!

Kendall: You're amazing, Annie, and I wasn't fair to you. So I'm thankful and so damn happy that you are in Ryan's life. Cheers.

All: Cheers. Cheers.

Ryan: You're drinking.

[Glasses clink]

Kendall: Where's my honey?

[Annie laughs]

Ava: Hey, I didn't steal a damn thing. Lily gave me this card.

Jonathan: To buy out the mall?

Ava: Hey, most of the stuff I bought is for her.

Jonathan: Right, yeah. This is Lily's favorite color right here.

Ava: Give me that!

Jonathan: No, how about these right here? I can definitely see Lily wearing this.

Ava: Oh, I bet you would just love that, wouldn't you? Can you imagine Lily in this? It'd be so hot and so sexy. Time to take a cold shower, Jonathan.

Jonathan: You will not take advantage of Lily.

Ava: Oh -- you are the only one that took advantage of her, but just not the way you really wanted to, huh?

Jonathan: My relationship with Lily is none of your business.

Ava: Ex-relationship. And don't you sit here and tell me you never thought about it.

Jonathan: You're taking all of this back, right now. All this is going back.

Ava: Or what?

Jonathan: Take them back. Ahem.

Ava: Give me my bags back --

Jonathan: These aren't yours, Ava. You didn't pay for them.

Ava: Hand them over!

Jonathan: You don't quit, do you?

Ava: Shut up already.

Jonathan: You are a damn liar and I'm not letting go of any of these. Let go of me.

Ava: Hey!

Security Guard: Hey, hey, hey! What's the problem here? Are you giving this young lady trouble?

Jonathan: No. Sir, it's under control.

Security Guard: You all right, miss? You want me to toss this jerk out of here?

Kendall: All right, people, it's -- it's me again. Ok.

[Laughter]

Kendall: So, listen. So Julia and I have put together a fancy little fashion show for you with these wonderful bridesmaid gowns, so, DJ, start the music.

[Music plays]

Kendall: Get it going.

Julia: Yeah.

Kendall: Ok, come on. Ladies -- check it out.

Woman: Whoo!

[Cheers]

Man: All right! Nice!

Kendall: Here we go.

Josh: The 1980s called -- they want their dresses back.

Zach: Kendall? I should've worn my powder blue tux -- where is that?

Di: Do you like it?

Annie: I love the designer. Do I have enough time to get my wedding dress changed?

Di: Oh --

Ryan: I got to tell you, I actually kind of like it a little bit, like --

Annie: No, no!

Julia: So, are you reconsidering your idea of having bridesmaids?

Annie: Oh, my gosh!

Di: Oh, oh, oh! No, we'd make you look " "lame"!

Julia: That's all right. It'd be all about us -- to heck with the bride!

Annie: Oh, man!

Ryan: Hey, now.

Julia: Hey. Zip it Lavery. The groom's only job is to shut up and show up.

Del: So is this typical bridal shower stuff?

Zach: I don't know, Del.

Del: Because I'll take a bachelor party any day. Give me getting drunk, getting strippers, and getting naked.

Men: Yeah!

Di: Ok, ok.

Ryan: You guys come over here.

Di: I know my brother is really the more creative writer type in the family, but I've actually written a poem --

Ryan: A poem?

Di: Yes, for the lovely couple.

Julia: Let's hear it.

Di: So --

Ryan: Yes?

Di: "There once was a young lady named Annie."

Julia: Oh!

Di: "And her taste in fine young men was uncanny."

[Laughter]

Di: "Soon, Ryan was smitten. With true love, he was bitten."

Julia: Ouch.

Di: "But what he liked most of all was her fanny."

Julia: Ow!

[Laughter]

Ryan: I like the poem! I like it.

Annie: It's true -- and it's true.

Ryan: It is true, and I want a copy of the poem.

Di: Ok, ok.

Ryan: I want that in print on the wall.

Julia: No, no, no, ok, it's my turn, it's my turn, my turn.

Annie: I'll get the rice.

Julia: All right, hold on. Now, I've taken a poll.

Kendall: Ok, I didn't vote for these dresses, by the way.

Julia: Ha-ha. All right. These are the top five pieces of marital advice. All right, maybe you guys can guess who -- who gave these suggestions.

Di: From this room?

Julia: Are you ready?

Annie: Ok.

Julia: All right. Number five -- ahem. "Don't do it."

Annie: Uh --

Ryan: Hmm -- Kendall.

Kendall: No, don't even. I -- I didn't write it. Don't look at me, I didn't write it.

Ryan: You!

All: Oh!

Ryan: Oh, it figures.

Annie: Hey, last chance.

Ryan: No, actually, I can't, because I can't take the ring back now so --

Women: Oh!

Julia: Oh, that's good. All right, all right -- number four, number four. "You don't need to cook when you can call for reservations."

Ryan: Kendall.

All: Kendall.

Julia: All right, that was way too easy. All right, number three -- "separate bathrooms."

Ryan: Jeez. Wow.

Annie: Di?

Del: Di.

Di: It wasn't me, it wasn't --

Kendall: Ralph?

Del: Julia!

Julia: Oh, ok, yeah, that was me. Many a relationship has been saved by keeping your products to yourself.

Annie: Good to know, good to know.

Di: And the toilet seat down.

Ryan: Yes.

Julia: Yes, right.

Ryan: That's a lot of information.

Julia: Along those same lines, number two --

Ryan: Mm-hmm.

Julia: Quite simply -- "sex."

Ryan: Thank you, Del.

Del: Now we're talking, now we are talking.

Ryan: Thank you.

Julia: Well, no -- you're not always going to get it.

Di: Yeah.

Julia: And sometimes, she does have a headache.

Ryan: What?

Del: And what's the best cure for a headache?

Di: We don't need to know that, Del.

Ryan: Thank you again, Del.

Julia: All right, and the number one piece of marital advice --

Di: Is --

[Di imitates drumroll]

Julia: Thank you. Ryan Lavery --

Ryan: Yes?

Julia: Please repeat after me. "Yes, dear."

Annie: Ooh, I like --

Kendall: Ryan, that's a deal breaker if you don't do it.

Annie: I like that one.

Josh: What about "give me a beer"?

Di: No.

Ryan: I don't think I can handle that one. I don't think I have it in me.

Annie: Ryan?

Ryan: I don't think I can -- no.

Annie: Ryan, would you get me a drink?

Ryan: Yes, dear.

[Laughter]

Annie: I gotcha.

Di: Yeah, yeah.

Ryan: Yes, dear.

Tad: Do you really think that sleeping with your wife is grounds for stealing a child?

Adam: There's a whole lot more here than your bed scraps, Martin. If there's a child stealer in this picture, it's you. You and Dixie tried everything you could to get my son away from me, tried for years to -- to convince him that I was the root of all of his problems. And now, you've finally succeeded in turning him against me.

Tad: The only thing that happened to J.R. is he finally realized what Chandler family values are worth.

Adam: Taking my son wasn't enough for you, was it? You helped Liza hide my daughter from me, you helped keep my grandson away from his father. You are a pro at hiding other people's children, or does your selective memory block that out?

Tad: Adam, J.R., Little A, Colby -- they were all taken for their own safety --

Adam: Yeah.

Tad: Because this is no house to raise a child -- you've proven that over and over and over again.

Adam: And you teamed up with the Carey sluts, did you, and stole my daughter again? No. Don't talk to me about child stealing -- you're the thief. This whole bloody house is empty because of you!

Jamie: You can't blame yourself for your dad's death.

Amanda: Can't I? I knew how sick my mother was. I had a responsibility to help him take care of her, but I ran away. I never thought about what could happen to my dad. He died because I was selfish, and if I had been there, my mother wouldn't have --

Jamie: Don't go there. You are not your parents' keeper.

Amanda: Huh. My mother needs a keeper.

Jamie: Amanda, whatever we do should be done out of love, not because we owe them something.

Amanda: But then I blew it again. I saw her, I didn't tell anybody. I knew she wasn't taking her meds.

Jamie: You are not responsible, not for your dad's death, not for your mother's illness.

Amanda: What about the baby? What if something happens to her? You said I was responsible.

Jamie: We'll find the baby. You'll get Janet help.

Amanda: Maybe you should try talking to the moon for a while. I don't seem to be getting through.

Jamie: Well, hold on. You're not going anywhere.

Amanda: I'm only going to see Babe -- I'll be back. Jamie, please, I'm not going to help my mom hurt anyone else. Just let me go.

Amanda: I love you too much to ever let you go. I thought you loved me that much, too. Was I wrong, Mom?

Janet: I thought you didn't want to be my little girl anymore.

Amanda: I will always be your little girl, the same one you gave butterfly kisses to every night before I went to bed, the same one you taught to pray to the angels "God bless Mommy and Daddy, and all my friends --"

Janet and Amanda: "And all my family and all my pets and all the people who don't have little girls of their own --"

Janet: Stop -- oh. Stop, please, stop. Stop. I have to make this end.

Tad: I didn't steal your children, Adam. I ended up with them by default.

Adam: Oh, spare me.

Tad: Huh. You're so desperate to have your own kids, you'll take them any way you can get them.

Adam: And how desperate are you to have my kids?

Tad: Am I?

Adam: Yeah.

Tad: You're spiteful and you're vengeful. I've always known that. But this is a new low even for you.

Adam: Huh.

Tad: You're willing to sacrifice an innocent baby just to get to me.

Adam: Oh -- you are so full of yourself.

Tad: No, no, no, no, no. The only reason you're doing this to Krystal is because she slept with me. Anybody else, you'd have thrown her out of the house, that'd be it.

Adam: The slob outside the Roadside Bar is an upgrade compared to you.

Tad: The only reason you've done this is because I'm that baby's father. Now she has to pay the ultimate price, because of your blind hatred for me.

Adam: This is killing you, isn't it? Ah. At least some good came of it.

Ava: It's ok. Just a little disagreement.

Security Guard: You sure?

Ava: Yeah, totally. I'm fine. We're good, right, honey?

Security Guard: I'm watching you. You get rough with your girlfriend again, and I'll call the cops.

Ava: If you're thinking dirty right now, so not your girlfriend.

Julia: And we have your bridal veil.

Di: Ooh!

Women: Ooh!

Di: Oh, look at this! There we are.

Annie: Oh, no.

Josh: Gorgeous. Wow.

Di: It's more hideous than I could -- it's official. Congratulations, Bridezilla.

Annie: Can't I -- can't I just take one of your dresses, or something?

Ryan: Wow, this is really special and everything, but you know what? Can I just take a second? I'd like to -- huh, that's really nice. I -- I like that.

[Laughter]

Annie: Save me.

Ryan: I'd like just to say -- say a couple words real quick. Is that all right?

Annie: Save me, save me!

Julia: No, no, you're not taking that off.

Ryan: You can't, no. Annie and I just want to -- we just --

Annie: Ahem.

Ryan: Uh -- we just want to thank everybody for being here tonight, and I want to make sure that I thank Kendall, who I can't see through this really lovely veil.

[Laughter]

Ryan: Thank you for that incredible speech and for hosting this tonight. Thank you.

Kendall: You're very welcome.

Ryan: We just wanted to share how incredible it is for us to celebrate this with each and every one of you. Really. And now you. You must take that thing off.

Annie: I know! Please, please.

Di: Actually, no. That is my work. My work.

Ryan: Ok, fine, you can leave it on for now, but if we're leaving here, it's coming off. No, seriously -- and I know typically, the more serious toasts are saved for weddings and everything like that, but I guess I just -- I want everybody to know how incredibly happy this woman makes me. You might not guess this, but inside, she is a strong, courageous survivor. And I say that because in the face of the absolute worst that life has to offer -- the worst -- she never lost her ability to dream. Limitless imagination. Possibilities of life, of love. And she showed me something. Something I didn't know. The heart -- there's a part of the heart -- there's a little hidden door. And it's a part that I didn't know about, and you didn't know about, but that part can only be opened by the right person. Annie, you opened that door. And I'm an incredibly lucky man. Thank you. I don't have a drink, but I'd like to make a toast. To my bride-to-be, my beautiful bride-to-be. To Annie.

All: To Annie.

[Applause]

Babe: Is there anything else I can get you?

[Babe sees Amanda through the window and goes out to talk to her]

Babe: Is there any word on Jenny? Did they find Janet?

Amanda: No, she hasn't called again.

Babe: How are you?

Amanda: I had to come here. It's stupid, I know. And I'm the last person that Krystal wants to talk to.

Babe: You know, M ama's resting. She shouldn't talk to anyone right now.

Amanda: I needed to see you.

Babe: Hey, come here. I know that this isn't easy for you, either.

Amanda: If your sister -- I'm sorry.

Babe: Amanda --

Amanda: Oh, God, I'm so sorry.

Babe: It's ok.

Amanda: I'm sorry.

Babe: Shh.

Amanda: I don't know where my mother's head is right now. When she's not taking her medication, she can do some awful --

Babe: Stop it. Your mom may be a mess, but she's still your mom, and she loves you. That hasn't changed.

Amanda: It makes it even harder. You know, since I was a kid, I would -- I'd look at her, and I'd wonder what she was thinking. Would she offer me toast or a balloon for breakfast? Would she show up at my ballet class and try to dance? Would she be normal today or totally whacked? And then sometimes, I would imagine that I would never see her again, and she would just up and disappear.

Babe: You know, when I was in the cabin with your mom, there were times that she was completely lucid. And in those times she was just like any other mama.

Amanda: She took your sister.

Babe: And they are going to find Janet and Jenny.

Amanda: If they don't --

Babe: Stop. I refuse to think like that. I just -- I just can't.

Amanda: I just wish I knew what my mother was thinking right now.

Adam: One last time -- I had nothing to do with t disappearance of your child. Now, would you get out?

Tad: Come on, Adam, when does it end? First you try and sell my daughter. My son nearly dies when you run him off the road. Now, Jenny's out there with a madwoman, a woman who's killed before.

Adam: Well, I would say as an interested observer, you're way out of your league.

Tad: I'm out of my league? Listen, if you really don't care about my daughter, what about yourself? Your neck's way out there on this one. I mean, that sleazy attorney you hired, the one who tried to set up the adoption is talking to Derek right now. Did you really cover all your tracks? You sure there's something you didn't miss? And what about Janet? She hasn't exactly turned out to be the world's most trustworthy accomplice.

Adam: I wouldn't know.

Tad: Do you remember what it felt like to lose Little A? Tearing the world apart to find him? If you've got something against me, bring it on. But that kid is days old, days. For the last time, where is she?

Ava: Look, I am not some naive little kid. I can give as good as I get.

Jonathan: As long as you're here, I'm going to be watching who you give it to.

Ava: You do not want to mess with me.

Jonathan: And you don't want to mess with Lily.

Annie: Thank you so much for everything. It was amazing.

Kendall: You're so welcome. It was fun.

Ryan: Yeah, I think so.

Kendall: All right.

Zach: I'll see you at the wedding.

Annie: All right. Bye, guys. Thanks again. Oh, thank you.

Zach: Ahem --

Kendall: Ah, let's sit.

Zach: Ah.

Kendall: So? What don't I know?

Zach: Hmm. Imagine a woman who gave up her son when he was just a baby, just to protect him.

Kendall: Ok. I have a pretty clear picture.

Zach: Now think of a filled with hatred towards the person responsible. And now imagine that same woman with a final chance to act on all that hate.

Annie: How great was that? All those -- those people, and the dresses --

Ryan: Mm-hmm.

Annie: And this -- this -- this thing.

Ryan: The thing.

Annie: Everything was perfect.

Ryan: Was it?

Annie: Yes.

Ryan: Well, it's not over yet.

Annie: What?

Ryan: It's not.

Annie: What?

Ryan: Ah.

Driver: Your car's ready, sir.

Annie: What? What about Emma?

Ryan: Emma's taken care of. Everything is taken care of.

Annie: Where -- where are we going?

Ryan: No -- no questions. Come on.

Annie: What?

Ryan: Come on. Let's go.

J.R.: Did the mother ship come to pick up Amanda, take her home to Janet?

Jamie: Lay off her, J.R.

J.R.: Lay off? Jenny's your sister.

Jamie: I didn't forget.

J.R.: If Amanda hadn't kept quiet about her mother, Jenny wouldn't even be missing right now.

Jamie: Stop being so hard on her.

Amanda: Thank you. You don't have to be nice to me. I don't deserve it.

Babe: Yes, you do. You're my friend. But I've got to get back in and check on Mama.

Amanda: I know it doesn't change anything, but please -- just tell her that I'm sorry.

Babe: You need to get some rest, too.

[Tad quickly reaches over and handcuffs himself to Adam]

Adam: Whoa -- what the hell?

Tad: Take a look at your new left hand, Adam.

Adam: What are you doing? You want to get kinky with me? Go get Krystal.

Tad: You want me gone, you're going to give me what I want.

Adam: You take this blasted thing off of me.

Tad: Not a chance. Sooner or later, Janet is going to get in touch with you. She's going to show up, she's going to call -- hell, she may even send a carrier pigeon. When she does, I'm going to be here.

Janet: I can't leave you all alone in this world.

Amanda: Do you remember what it feels like, Mom? To have your baby taken away?

Janet's voice: I'm not going to say good-bye, because I'm never really going to leave you, and you're never going to leave me. You're going to be in my heart forever, I promise. And remember -- I always love you. I love you.

Janet: My precious little Amanda, I can't lose you again. I know what I have to do.

>> On the next "All My Children" --

Adam: I can't breathe.

Tad: How stupid do you think I am, huh?

Adam: Oh --

Tad: That hurt. Would you knock it off?

Krystal (to Janet): What have you done with my baby? Where is she? Did you hurt her?
