AT THE WINTHROPS - Someone knocks on the door and Cass opens it. It’s Charlie.

Cass: Heeeeey!!! You’re back!

Charlie: Yep.

Frankie walks in.

Frankie: Hey honey!

Cass: How was it?

Charlie: Oh come on. You guys know how honeymoons go.

Frankie: We sure do.

Charlie: It was magical.

Frankie: You didn’t wanna come back did you?

Charlie: Kirkland and I could have laid there forever. It was like there was no world outside. Just us.

Cass: I know that feeling.

Frankie: You must have had a long flight. Are you hungry?

Charlie: Not really. Thanks mom.

Cass: Where’s Kirkland?

Charlie: He went to see his father.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GRANT’S HOUSE - Kirkland rings the doorbell and Christy answers.

Christy: Hi Kirkland.

Kirkland walks past Christy looking around.

Kirkland: Where’s my dad?

Christy: He’s getting dressed. You can wait for him.

Kirkland: Are you dad’s housekeeper or something Christy?

Christy: Far from that my dear.

Kirkland: What are you doing here anyway? Especially after you crashed me and my wife’s wedding reception.

Christy: Look I...I owe you an apology.

Kirkland: You’re damned right. You and your creepy son.

Christy: Eric is not creepy, and he had nothing to do with it. It was all my idea. I shouldn’t have done it.

A fully dressed Grant walks in.

Grant: Hey son! When did you get back?

Kirkland: Couple hours ago. Dad can I speak to you for a minute?

Christy: I’ll...go into the study.

Kirkland and Grant look to make sure she’s out of sight, then Kirkland turns his attention to Grant.

Kirkland: Dad what is she doing here?

Grant: Can’t I be charitable?

Kirkland: Charity? So you just gave this woman, who tormented Charlie’s parents, a place to live?

Grant: Are you saying that I am not giving? I’ll have you know that I give to a lot of organizations.

Kirkland: Yeah, especially to the ones that you can get a big tax write off for.

Grant: Did you learn comedy on your honeymoon?

Kirkland: Dad you never answered my question? What is Christy Carson doing here? I noticed you two made eye contact when she showed up uninvited at Tops.

Grant: Son I can’t get into that right now.

Kirkland: Come on dad. Are we gonna go down this road again? I read that her parole was denied. After that she gets out, and now she’s living here. What’s going on?

Grant: She’s....helping me to get Paulina back.

Kirkland: Are you on that again? Why would Christy help you to do that?

Grant: Because I love Paulina. I never stopped.

Kirkland: Nahhh there’s something more to it than that.

Grant: I’ll have to tell you later son. Hey why don’t you go see your mother. I’m sure she’d be happy to see you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AT THE MCKINNONS - In front of the house, Jake, Vicky, Michael and Donna are all discussing Michele…

Jake: Vicky are you serious?

Vicky: Are you telling me that Reginald isn’t capable of poisoning her mind?

Michael: He held me prisoner for over twenty years. He sure can brainwash my granddaughter.

Donna (turning to Michael): For some reason, though, I don’t think that’s the case. Bridget did some questionable things that lead to Michele’s accident.

Vicky: Yeah, she did.

Michael: So that’s why you think Michele might be angry at Bridget. What do you think she’s gonna do?

Donna: I have no idea, but I have a very bad feeling.

Vicky: So you think that...Michele is gonna do something to Bridget, just like Marley did something to me?

Donna: Yes, and we’ve got to stop it.

Vicky: Michele is not gonna hurt her sister.

Jake has a flashback..

(EPISODE 184)

Jake: It’s a long story honey, but it turns out that Lindsay Winthrop is my daughter.

Michele: My goodness.

Bridget: And she’s a deceitful lying little bitch, and I want nothing to do with her.

Michele looks at Bridget, then looks at Jake.

Michele: Well...I’d like to meet her.

Jake flashes back to the present…

Jake: Wait a minute. I know exactly where Michele is.

They all follow Jake, and Bridget comes out, and follows everyone else.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HOSPITAL EXAM ROOM - Michele is with Gregory and Lindsay…

Gregory: Thank you.

Michele: She looked she was in a lot of pain. I’m just glad I was here for you.

Lindsay: And it was really sweet of you to stay with me. Thank you.

Gregory: Hey I’m Greg.

Lindsay: And my name’s Lindsay. It’s nice to meet you...uh…

Lindsay extends her right hand to Michele, and Michele has a flashback (EPISODE 184).

Jake: Um…

Bridget: Lindsay came to Bay City and lied to all of us. She tried to be my friend, knowing all the while that she was my sister.

Michele: Our sister?

Jake: It’s a long story honey, but it turns out that Lindsay Winthrop is my daughter.

Michele: My goodness.

Bridget: And she’s a deceitful lying little bitch, and I want nothing to do with her.

Michele looks at Bridget, then looks at Jake.

Michele: Well...I’d like to meet her.

Michele flashes back to the present.

Michele: I’m Michele.

Lindsay: Oh...nice to meet you.

Gregory: I appreciate you being here for Lindsay.

Michele: Oh it’s not problem.

Michele tries to walk past them and Lindsay stops her as she approaches the door.

Lindsay: Wait Michele. You said that John was your uncle.

Gregory: My dad?

Lindsay: Yeah. Who are you? Jake had a daughter named Michele..

Michele: I really need to go.

Lindsay grabs her arm before she can open the door.

Lindsay: What kind of game are you playing?

PART 2

Cass: He went to see Grant? What’s the matter with him? He doesn’t wanna shoot the breeze with his in-laws?

Charlie: He wants to see parents just as I want to see mine.

Frankie: I’m sure we’ll all catch up later. When did you get back?

Charlie: About a couple of hours ago.

Cass puts his arm around Frankie’s shoulder.

Charlie: So have you heard anything from Christy Carson since she showed up at the reception?

Frankie: I’ve...I’ve seen her.

Cass: What do you mean Frankie?

Frankie: She asked to meet with me the other day.

Charlie: Why?

Frankie: She apologized for crashing the reception.

Cass: I can’t believe you would even meet with her. Come on you’re not falling for this!

Frankie: That’s what Felicia said.

Cass: Christy is pulling you into her web.

Frankie: I’m giving her a second chance Cass. Who am I to hold a grudge?

Charlie: I wasn’t born yet when Christy did all those things to you, but, from what I heard, it was really bad mom. I think you need to be careful where she’s concerned.

Cass: That’s what I’ve been trying to tell her, but she won’t listen.

Frankie: Come on I wasn’t born yesterday. You think I don’t have questions myself? Her parole was denied, and then she was miraculously released.

Cass: Makes you wonder doesn’t it?

Frankie: Of course it does, and you guys are just gonna have to trust me. If Christy is up to something, I’m gonna find out what it is.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Christy creeps up to the living room and listens as Kirkland and Grant continue their conversation.

Kirkland: I’ll see mom later. We’re talking about you and Christy.

Grant: Listen I’ve told you everything that I’m going to tell you. The less you know, the better.

Kirkland: You called in a favor didn’t you? You got the governor to pardon Christy of her crimes so she can help you get Paulina back? That’s a crock dad.

Christy, while listening, has a flashback.

(EPISODE 152)

Christy: Eric, I’m so glad to see you! Did you do it?

Eric: Yep. I got everything out of there. It wasn’t easy though.

Christy: Oh my sweet boy. You sure know how to make your mama proud.

Then she has another flashback...(EPISODE 155)

Grant: I’m gonna ask you again, what happened to Scooter?

Christy: He and I were good friends, and I’m gonna miss him dearly.

Grant: What the hell are you talking about? I just talked to him about an hour ago.

Christy: Well, Scooter had an unfortunate…occurrence. From what I heard, he just couldn’t take it anymore. He couldn’t stand the pressure of knowing what he knew, so he killed himself. Luckily for him, he had a friend like me, so what he knew, I now know.

Grant: And just what is it that you think you have knowledge of?

Christy: I know that it’s something you’ve been looking for, but that’s not all.

Grant: I don’t think you have any idea who you’re trying to play games with.

Christy: Oh. I know exactly who you are. You’re the very powerful, very wealthy, Grant Harrison. If you want something to happen, it usually does.

Grant: I’m leaving.

Grant turns to leave and then...

Christy: I also know about your connection to Mary-Frances’s twin brother, and I know where the dossier is.

Grant: It was you. Who did you order to break into my house?

Christy: Now I’ve got your attention. I’m not gonna ask you for much...just one small favor...get me the hell out of here.

Christy interrupts Grant and Kirkland’s conversation.

Christy: Oh I’m sorry. I couldn’t help but overhearing. I am very grateful for your father helping me to get out of that facility. The least I could do is to help him get back the woman he loves.

Kirkland looks back and forth at Grant and Christy.

Kirkland: No...something’s not right here. This isn’t over dad.

Kirkland leaves.

Grant: He’s getting suspicious.

Christy: That much I gathered.

Grant: You’re gonna need to move out.

Christy: I’d like a suite downtown.

Grant: Whatever. I’ll make a call.

Christy: You better throw Kirkland off our trail, because if you don’t, this could blow up in all of our faces. Where did he go anyway?

Grant: I presume he went to tell his mother’s side of the family that he’s back in town.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lindsay: I asked you a question.

Gregory: How do you know my dad?

Michele: I told her he was a friend of the family.

Lindsay: You said he was your uncle, and you have the same name of my dead sister. Whatever game you’re playing, it’s very cruel.

Michele: It’s not a game!

Lindsay: Then what is this? Who are you?

Jake, Vicky, Donna, and Michael walk in.

Lindsay: Jake, what are you doing here?

Jake goes directly to Michele.

Jake: I knew you’d come here.

Lindsay: You knew what? What’s going on?

Donna and Michael also slowly approach Michele.

Donna: Honey, what did you say to Lindsay?

Michele: Why is everyone treating me like I’m fragile?

Michael: Baby we’re just concerned.

Michele: Nothing is wrong. I just came to see…

Lindsay: Will someone tell me what the hell is going on?

Jake: This is your sister Michele. Reginald changed her face. She knew who you were all along.

Vicky: Why is everyone ganging up on her? You are acting as though she committed a crime. All she came to do is see Lindsay.

Lindsay: No wonder she said John was her uncle.

Gregory: My God...you’re...you’re alive. Wow.

Lindsay suddenly doubles over in pain as she grabs her stomach. She notices blood on one of her thighs...and so does Gregory.

Gregory: Lindsay?

Jake: My God.

Gregory: We’re going to see a doctor.

Lindsay: I’m...fine.

Gregory: This isn’t gas.

Jake: What’s going on?

Gregory: She’s been having stomach pains.

Gregory, Lindsay, and Jake leave as Donna, Michael and Vicky continue to talk to Michele.

Donna: Why don’t you come with us? We’ll take you home.

Vicky: Why don’t we all go...and see if Jake needs anything.

Michael: Honey we’ll be waiting by the elevators for you.

Vicky: I love you.

Donna: We all do.

Michele: I’ll be right behind you.

Michael, Vicky and Donna leave the exam room. Michele takes a deep breath, and walks to the door, but before she approaches it, Bridget walks in and locks it.

Michele: I was leaving.

Bridget: No...not yet.

Michele: Everybody’s waiting for me.

Bridget: You’re gonna tell me what you’re up to.

Michele: Are you sure you wanna do this now?

Bridget: Yes Michele...now.
