This is probably only partial, as I haven't been watching non-stop.
Let's see if I can get all this straight.

Erica is trying to drive Adam crazy by making phone calls and sending
notes that are supposedly from his dead wife (the one she suspects
he killed).  Adam is quite nervous about it, and Stuart isn't helping
matters by getting hysterical over everything.  While breaking an
old figurine that I guess belonged to the dead wife, Erica got locked
in an upstairs closet.  Adam came running upstairs when he heard
the crash and came after whatever was in the closet with a gun, but
didn't find Erica who was hiding in a trunk.  Later, she revealed that
she had found several letters in that trunk, letters written by Adam
and the dead wife (whose name escapes me now).  From it, she found
out that Adam had once sent the wife a music box with the song "Alice
Blue Gown" and it was her favorite song, so Erica called Adam and
played a music box with that song, which drove him mad!  Today, she
went to Ellen to ask her help in finding out what Adam is up to, but
Ellen refused to help ("Ross asked me particularly not to get involved...
I don't lie to my husband").  While Erica was asking her help -- or
rather, demanding her help -- Adam walked in: "If you're so desperate
to know, Erica, why don't you ask me?"

The night Benny's club opened, oh-so-much happened.  Hillary and Bob
were dancing away when who should walk in but Tad!  Phoebe cornered
him and threatened him, but he pooh poohed her and she went off to
call the police.  Meanwhile, he went over to Hillary and asked her
to dance; she accepted.  While they danced, he said that he was
giving up, that he wished her well with Bob, that he was sorry.
Then the police came rushing in, Hillary got them off his back, and
told them that if ever Phoebe calls them, they should disregard it
(this could come up again sometime, with dire consequences!).  Recently,
Hillary signed up for a tutoring class and guess who needs tutoring!
Yes, today Hillary was seen tutoring Tad on history.  Some woman named
Rita came in and was all over Tad, accused Hillary of still having the
hots for him.  Phoebe tried to get Bob to stop this development, but
he trusts Hillary and will not DEMAND that she stop.  And now Phoebe's
all huffy and saying that she is the only one willing to stand up for
Hillary.

Benny went to see Tom the day Benny's club opened.  He said that Tom
should reassess his relationship with Donna, because it seemed that it
was going nowhere, and if Tom were to step out of the picture, Benny
is sure he could make Donna love him.  Then Benny also spoke with
Donna and convinced her that her dignity was worth more than waiting
for Tom.  Later, Donna spoke with Tom and said that it would be best
if she left him; he didn't argue.  In fact, later Tom came by Edna's
(where Donna was) and said goodbye, she was right.  So the night of the
club opening, Donna went to Benny and thrilled him by accepting a
hamburger from him.  Cheap date.

Things among Jesse, Yvonne, and Eugene are still volcanic.  Eugene is
trying to muscle in on Jesse's managing role, and Jesse is trying to
stop Yvonne and Eugene from having an affair.  Angie is pretty lost
in all this.

Greg is nearly nonexistent, relegated to the ranks of the Martins,
Mona, and all the others who sort of wander in and out.  Although, I
hear he's been dating Dottie.  What a couple!

But the big story of the past weeks has been Cynthia and Palmer.
June (Cynthia's "close" friend from long ago) accidentally revealed
to Andrew that he is not the son of what's-his-name (Chase something
or other?  or something or other Chase?) but is the result of a
one night stand with a stableboy.  So Andrew has turned against his
mother and had been considering telling Palmer the truth before the
wedding.  But he hemmed and hawed and delayed so much that they were
married before he could do anything.  He almost told Palmer afterward,
but ended up just asking if Palmer loved his mother.  Meanwhile,
Cynthia made a pass at Ross, and is fantasizing about making love with
him amid red satin sheets.

Nina had begun to disbelieve the scam being pulled by Linda and
(oh, where is my mind, I can't remember now!  He's the real slime,
you know!) him.  But he made Linda eat a strawberry (or something
like that) that she is real allergic to, and she had a fit, and
Nina got all panicky, and what's his name (this is driving me crazy)
cured her when Nina was out of the room.  It was a pill he gave
her, not this focused energy jazz.  So now Nina believes in him again.

I think that's about it for AMC (whew!)
