All My Children

David pressured Ruth to ask Joe for a divorce. She chickened out when baby Elizabeth's test results came in. Anne's baby appears to have reflex retardation and may be blind. Erica and Nick got it on again. Mona left for Minneapolis to check out Kitty's "mother." Danny grew more attracted to Brooke. Mona discovered that Mrs. Carpenter is Myrtle Lum, but she promised not to tell Kitty. Myrtle agreed to get out of Kitty's life within a month. Ann refused to accept Elizabeth's retardation. Benny moved in to the Tyler pool house. Joe learned David and Ruth may leave town. Mona lied and identified Mrs. Carpenter as the real McCoy -- for Kitty's sake. Ruth was ready to leave with David when Joe was admitted to the hospital for acute appendicitis. Chuck became Donna's legal guardian. Caroline advised Frank to reconcile with Nancy. David operated on Joe, then realized Ruth still loves Joe. Phoebe received her divorce papers. Tara told Phil she was ready to marry him. Erica protested, but Nick carried her off to bed.
