All My Children

by Jon-Michael Reed

Frank learned from Caroline’s letter that he is Carl’s father.  Tara was skeptical of Phil’s Washington job offer.  Brooke gave Dan the cold shoulder and zeroed in on Mark.  Erica suddenly didn’t approve of Brooke’s intentions toward Mark.  Ellen told Mark it’s definitely over between them after she held a wedding reception for Devon and Wally.  Myrtle ordered Eddie and Lettie Jean to steer clear of Kelly who grew closer to Linc after visiting Kitty’s grave. Eddie badgered Kelly about getting to close to Linc, which set Phoebe’s interfering head spinning.  Langley was discouraged that Edna’s bank account isn’t as large as he’d hoped.  Phil, Tara, and Charlie (little Phil) made plans to move to Washington.  Erica campaigned against Brooke snaring Mark, although Tom ordered her to keep her nose out of it.  Frank promised a sleeping Nancy that he, she, and their son would soon be a family.  Ellen assured Wally that she’d help support his family.  Ruth and Joe talked about having another child. Tom fought with Erica when he learned she had tipped off Dan about Brooke and Mark.  Dan disappeared.  Kelly fell for Phoebe’s line that Kelly is not in Linc’s league, and she agreed to a weekend with Eddie.  Billy Clyde was released from jail and set out to win back Estelle.  Eddie convinced Langley that Phoebe’s bank account is healthier than Edna’s. Myrtle threatened Eddie not to get Kelly hooked on pills again.  Erica reminisced about Nick and his possible return.  Dan surfaced and Brooke confessed about Mark.  Ruth had a hard time telling Joe she’s pregnant, but he was ecstatic.  Before agreeing to undergo an emergency hernia operation, Billy Clyde made Estelle promise never to leave him.  Mark chewed out Erica, then told Brooke he had just used her and could never love her.  Carolyn left town and Frank.  Tom ordered Erica out of the restaurant, and she went behind his back to secure an agency bid for him to be a commercial spokesman, since she had arranged for herself to be part of the package.  Langley pumped Edna for information about Phoebe.  Benny and Betsy got better acquainted.  Everyone bid farewell to Phil and Tara, who moved to Washington.  Betsy’s roommate, Sybil Thorne, set her cap for Dr. Cliff Warner.  Chuck learned that Donna’s baby will be stillborn after she complained that it wasn’t kicking.  Erica and Tom reconciled after she promised to attend a marriage encounter group.  But she traded with Tom to do the commercial she’d already set up behind his back.  Wealthy Palmer Cortlandt and his daughter Nina arrived.  Langley gave Edna the cold shoulder and enticed Phoebe about checking into her genealogy.  Russ catered to a recovering Nancy, who learned that Frank and Caroline have called it quits.  Dan got juiced and tried to beat up Mark, who told Brooke to take a flying leap.

Edge of Night

by Jon-Michael Reed

Cliff presented as evidence a video tape that showed a back view of a girl unmistakably Winter approaching Wade’s body moments after he was shot.  Winter denied being the woman.  Elliot remodeled his new club with the help of Margo’s lackey, Antoine.  Deborah speculated that the robbery at Margo’s apartment was an inside job.  Upon examining closely the prosecutor’s tape, Mike spotted the fact that the girl was wearing a different color coat collar than witnesses had testified as seeing.  During his summation, Draper pointed out that the  incriminating tape had been “chroma-keyed” by Tank to make it appear Winter was the murderer.  Elliot told Antoine and Margo that he was going to run the club, like it or not.  It was disclosed to the audience that Winter was indeed Wade’s murderer and Tank had doctored the tape to fool the jury.  Tank tried to force Winter to leave town, but during a shootout with Deb and Steve, Winter pushed Tank to his death to keep her secret.  Everyone thinks Tank was Wade’s murderer.  Margo paid off a real estate agent to give April and Draper a “discount” house.  Calvin remembered that Elliot’s bartender, Mickey Dials, is the brother of a juvenile he once arrested.  Logan and Raven were married.  Winter went after Nicole, who accidentally discovered that Tank’s altered tape was dated the night of Wade’s murder.  Winter insisted to Nicole that it was misdated.  April and Elliot learned that Margo had secretly paid off the broker for April and Draper’s proposed new house.  Cliff looked forward to handing the Paige Madison case while Logan honeymooned. Winter failed to knock off Nicole with sleeping pills so she began sending her poison pen letters.  Margo introduced Owen Madison and his daughter Paige to Draper as potential clients.  Deborah nixed Steve’s marriage proposal because of her career.  Deborah turned Joey over to Mickey after Joey was arrested for rowdy behavior.  Calvin lamented that he can’t get to first base with Starr.
