INT. DAVID'S APARTMENT - MORNING

David walks into the livingroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. There is a knock at the door. He goes to answer.

David:

Krystal.

Krystal:

Hello David.

David:

What are you doing here?

Krystal:

I thought I would be the first one to welcome you back to Pine Valley.

INT. CHANDLER MANSION - MORNING

Adam is reading the newspaper, and talking on his cell phone. He is also sitting on the couch.

Adam:

Yes, I just saw the paper. David is out of jail for that whole Orpheus project. It has been four years. We kept him in jail this long. Guess we couldn't anymore. Listen, I have to go. I love you Brooke. Bye.

As he hangs up, Stuart enters.

Stuart:

Good morning brother!

Adam goes to his brother.

Adam:

Stuart, how are you? Or, should I even ask?

Stuart:

I'm great.

Adam:

Aren't you always?

Stuart:

Great is how I always feel, because I know life should never be taken for granted.

Adam:

Are you going to visit Marian today?

Stuart:

Oh, yes.

Adam:

Tell her I said "hi."

Stuart:

You could just come with me.

Adam:

I would rather not.

Stuart:

And, why is that?

INT. CONFUSION - MORNING

Liza walks in, and goes to the reservation desk.

Liza:

Hello, I'm Liza Colby. I'm here to meet Brooke English Chandler for breakfast. Has she arrived?

Man:

Yes she has, Miss.

Liza:

Excellent.

Man:

You can go right to her.

Liza:

Thank you.

Liza walks up to Brooke. She sits down.

Brooke:

Good morning, Liza.

Liza:

Hi, Brooke. Good to see you. So, why'd you call me over here this morning?

Brooke:

I need to talk to you about Adam.

INT. PINE VALLEY HOSPITAL - MORNING

Cara and Griffin are walking down a hall. Griffin is holding a patience chart.

Griffin:

How was your sugery this morning?

Cara:

(Sighs) It was so tiring. Removing that tumor was a lot of work.

Griffin:

I bet. Since you came in at 3:30 this morning, I highly doubt you had time for breakfast. Do you want to grab a bite?

Cara:

Griff, you know I appreciate the offer. But, you also know that I'm to busy to even think about breakfast.

They stop walking.

Griffin:

Cara, you've gotta keep your strength up. I don't want you handling something big, and have an empty stomach at the same time.

Cara:

Something big? Like what? Like bumping into David Hayward?

INT. OPAL'S HOME - MORNING

Opal comes down her staircase, as she is tying her robe. The doorbell is rung. She answers the door.

Opal:

Dixie! How are you? Come in!

Dixie enters. Opal shuts the door.

Dixie:

I'm great Opal.

Opal:

What brings you by on this pea-picking-morning?

Dixie:

Tad said that you sewed up a tear in his suit jacket. I just wanted to know if you were done with that?

Opal:

Well, of course I am! Let's go into the living room. And I'll get that jacket.

Dixie:

Perfect.

They walk into the living room.

Dixie:

Oh, and Opal?

Opal:

Yes?

Dixie:

Can I get one more thing?

Opal:

What?

Dixie:

(Sighs) I would love a reading.

Opal:

Well, then you have got one Missy! Real quick. Is this for fun, or for real life situations?

Dixie:

(Sighs) Just for fun.

INT. DAVID'S APARTMENT - MORNING

Krystal is sitting on the couch. David enters, but this time he is fully dressed. Krystal stands.

David:

I'm truly happy that you were the first to stop by. It was kind of shocking.

Krystal:

Were you expecting some one else?

David:

No, not at all.

Krystal:

David, I know I'm in the minority here, but I believe you were doing a fantastic job, four years ago. You were bringing us back people, this town thought we would never see again. You did that. No one else.

David:

Thank you, Krystal. That means so much to me. You have no idea.

Krystal:

I also came over here with a demand.

David:

(Laughs) That's nothing new! So, what is this demand, you are making?

Krystal:

I demand that you continue the project. Pick it up from what where you left off.

David:

Why do you want me to continue?

Krystal:

Because, I don't want you to stop until you bring Babe back to us. What do you say, David? Will you pick the project back up?

INT. CHANDLER MANSION - MORNING

Adam pours himself some coffee.

Adam:

I just don't feel like being around the injudicious patients of Oak Haven.

Stuart:

Marian is not injudicious.

Adam:

That woman makes more bad judgment calls, than that Miley Cyrus.

Stuart:

Adam, please come with me. Marian is trying to change. She really is.

Adam:

Should I remind you about the night of the party? She freaked out when Erica Kane was shot. More than any of us.

Stuart:

You can't hold that against her. Every one did. Including you, Jackson, Bianca, Kendall. The list goes on and on, Adam.

Adam:

Will it make you shut up if I come?

Stuart:

(Laughs) Yes!

Adam:

Alright, then. Let's go.

Stuart:

Wonderful!

Stuart hugs Adam. Adam seems un-easy about the hug.

INT. CONFUSION - MORNING

Liza and Brooke have glasses of orange juice on their table.

Liza:

You want to talk to me about Adam? Why is that? Is your marriage to him not going as planned?

Brooke:

(Sighs) Liza, I think Adam might do something not good. To David Hayward, that is.

Liza:

Brooke, what exactly are you implying?

Brooke:

I need you to tell David to watch his back. Make him aware of Adam.

Liza:

Why would I do that?

Brooke:

Liza, you are one of the few people who know David better than anyone.

Liza:

You've got me there.

Brooke:

Will you do it?

Liza:

(Sighs) Okay. I'll do it. I will warn David.

Brooke:

Thank you.

Liza:

Now, you have to promise me something.

Brooke:

What?

Liza:

That you will keep your husband in check.

Brooke:

It's a done deal.

Liza:

By the way, I can't really blame him for hating David. And I'm not so sure you can either. But we still have a deal.

Brooke and Liza shake hands.

INT. PINE VALLEY HOSPITAL - MORNING

Cara and Griffin sit down on a bench.

Cara:

When the time comes for me to see David, I won't be on edge, like you think.

Griffin:

I'm just saying. Cara, you're my sister. I love you to death. I just don't want to see you get hurt.

Cara:

Griff, I love you for that. But, I'm a grown woman now. I can take care of myself.

Griffin:

Okay.

Cara gets her pager from her right side. Cara and Griffin stand.

Cara:

Its Joe. He wants me to check on the tumor guy.

Griffin:

Okay.

Griffin hugs Cara.

Griffin:

I love you, sis.

Cara:

I love you too.

EXT. STATESVILLE PRISON - MORNING

The gate beeps.

Guard:

Good luck to you.

Man:

Thank you.

The man steps out.

J.R.:

I'm back, Pine Valley.
