At ConFusion, Kendall told Zach she was really scared to tell him about her and Ryan in L.A. Zach said but she did tell him, “Unless there’s something else you want to confess.” She told him everything, right? Kendall started babbling about how nothing had happened, and Zach silenced her with a kiss before they joined Greenlee and Aidan. When the men went to get drinks, Kendall confided she just told Zach that she met Ryan alone in L.A. “Yay, good for you,” Greenlee told her. Thank God she didn’t wait any longer or Zach would have gotten more suspicious of her not telling him. Kendall was stunned to hear that he already knew. Greenlee denied telling him—she wouldn’t do that to her! The point was that she told Zach, which meant no secrets and no drama. Wasn’t it great? Kendall called it perfect and glared at Aidan, who was again uncomfortable about Zach’s trust in him.
GIVE ME A MERCY DATE…
When Ryan showed up at the penthouse holding a bouquet of flowers, Annie closed the door in his face. Ryan knocked again, and told her he was persistent. He’d started having some memories, and knew they were really, really happy together. Now, he was just trying to make it all up to her. Annie exclaimed that she didn’t need his pity! She wasn’t his booty call or his mercy date, just the wife that he couldn’t remember. Ryan insisted the memories were there, and were coming back one by one. So, just come out with him, please? “Give me a mercy date.”
HE’S GOT HER…
Jesse told Tad they had Frankie, and there was a girl in this picture with him. Adam overheard Tad talking to Jesse about the photograph and asked if that was about Colby? When he took a call, Tad told Krystal, “He’s got her.” Whoever was after Jesse had Frankie and Colby. Adam returned and said this was on Tad’s head. Tad left to look for Colby. Adam dropped to his knees and begged Krystal to tell him the truth. Krystal cried as she told him someone took her, “Someone bad took her.” Telling her not to ever get in his way again, Adam stormed out.
YOU OWE ME…
Jesse blamed himself for putting Frankie in danger, and was stunned to learn it was Liza’s daughter with him. When he started out, Angie warned if he walked out that door, she wouldn’t take him back again, “You owe me.” Jesse insisted he’d do whatever was necessary to bring their boy back, but Angie knew he was thinking about trading himself for their son. As Jesse tried to bolt for the door, Tad arrived and asked if he didn’t think his wife had suffered enough? The man who tortured him 20 years ago was doing the same thing right now because he wanted him to feel like this. Knowing that was the only thing they had going for them. He was going to make a call, he had to, to let them know what he wanted. That’s when they’d make their move. Angie went to the hospital to see if there was anything on the security footage, first getting Tad’s promise that he wouldn’t let Jesse do anything until she got back.
Jesse said these men torture for fun. How long before they just needed a laugh and took it out on Frankie? Adam burst through the door and demanded, “Or Colby! Where the hell is…” He broke off in astonishment, “Jesse Hubbard? What the hell does a dead man want with my daughter?” Jesse admitted Colby was in danger, and it was because of him. Jesse stopped him from calling Derek Frye, and promised his daughter would come home to him safely.
FOR ALL OUR PARENTS…
Rafael told Robert the girl was necessary collateral. Robert called that no problem. Now that the kids had joined them, this was just the kind of icebreaker that Hubbard could appreciate.
Alarmed when they heard the plane take off, Frankie managed to remove the gags, and worked at freeing them from the ropes that bound them together. He and Colby clashed, and she said he didn’t know anything about her. She worked hard, didn’t just wait for her allowance, and had watched enough “Oprah” to admit she had issues. Growing up without a dad would do that. Frankie said he grew up without a dad, too, but his mother was the best mother in the world, “We got to get out of here, for all our parents.” Working together, they were able to free themselves from the ropes.
Robert looked at his watch and said the host had to get things ready for his other guests.
SO AFRAID I’M GOING TO LOSE THEM BOTH…
Angie was upset that the camera in the parking lot wasn’t working, so no footage was available. Krystal showed up to help search for clues, and Angie admitted she was so afraid of losing both Frankie and Jesse.
ALL THOSE MEMORIES ARE B.S., RIGHT?
Aidan told Kendall he could feel her death glare all the way on the other side of the room, “So I told Zach. Get over it.” Zach loved her, and he asked him to protect her. And he would, even if it meant he had to protect her from herself. As Kendall said she could handle herself and handle Ryan, Ryan came in with Annie, who called this hideously awkward. Ryan apologized to them al for his recent behavior. Now, he was remembering in bits and pieces, and the memories that he was getting of Annie, he honestly wouldn’t trade them for the world.
Greenlee told Ryan that was a great job. She told him way back at the fashion show to fake it, and he did great. Come on, all those memories were B.S., right? Ryan told her everything he said he saw, he did see it. Greenlee asked where, in a photo album? It was, wasn’t it? He could tell her. She wasn’t going to say anything. She was just happy for him and for Annie. It’s exactly what the two of them needed, “And what we all need.”
I’M GOING TO BARGAIN WITH MY LIFE…
Jesse said he was responsible for this mess, and it was his responsibility to get these kids back. Adam insisted everybody had their price, “That’s why you two need me.” Jesse said they didn’t need him, and Adam asked what he was going to bargain with? Jesse replied, “My life. I’m going to bargain with my life.”
