RYAN:

Greenlee, Annie has been released from Oak Haven.

JACKSON:

I knew I heard a familiar voice.

GREENLEE:

I am glad you said conquered, because that is exactly what we did.

ERICA:

(Laughs) Okay. Then I will start by calling you a slimy, belligerent, bastard.

INT. MARISA AND BIANCA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Jackson looks offended by Erica's previous words. But, yet he expects it.

JACKSON:

What you just said was completely expected of you Erica.

ERICA:

What is that supposed to mean Jackson?

JACKSON:

It means that even after being shot, you still have not realized that you act the same way. You only care about yourself. This is why I left Erica. This is why I left Pine Valley. This is why I left you. I was done with the selfishness.

ERICA:

Let's face it Jackson. You were ultimately done with me.

INT. BIANCA AND MARISA'S FAMILY ROOM - NIGHT

Marisa and Bianca come off a hug.

MARISA:

Bianca, you have to realize that what your mom wants, she does get. So, if she wants Jackson then she will get him. We just have to let her go, and realize that she can do what she want. And, if you feel hurt, then you can come to me.

BIANCA:

Marisa, you know that every time they have been together, they have failed.

MARISA:

I know that.

BIANCA:

Then I don't understand why you want them together. So, why do you want them together so badly. Because, I have a feeling that it isn't just because my mom is in her 60's, and she can do what ever she wants. So, why?

NATALIA:

Brot.

BROT:

(Laughs) Natalia, what in the world are you doing here on your day off?

NATALIA:

(Laughs) I just wanted to come and visit the best husband in the whole damn world.

BROT:

I am glad you are here, then.

Thank you for coming here, as soon as I called.

GRIFFIN:

No problem, but is everything okay?

I just needed a friend.

INT. BIANCA AND MARISA'S FAMILY ROOM - NIGHT

Marisa sits.

MARISA:

I have no other reasons Bianca. I just think you are getting paranoid.

BIANCA:

I am not paranoid by this!

Marisa stands. She goes to Bianca.

MARISA:

You are paranoid, Bianca. I can see it. I know you by now. So..., tell me. You can tell me anything that you want to. So, what is it? What is it that is truly bugging you about this? Erica and Jackson's break ups can not be the only reason.

BIANCA:

Wow! I cannot hide anything from you.

MARISA:

No you can't.

BIANCA:

(Sighs) I just don't want my mom to get hurt again.

MARISA:

Now, there is a better reason.

BIANCA:

(Sighs) Marisa, my mother's number of marriages are LEGENDARY. And, they have all ended in a big way. She not only gets hurt, but so do the men. So, do you understand now, why I don't want my mom to turn eleven marriages into twelve. Until..., she is ready.

MARISA:

Bianca, it would've been easier if you would have said that in the first place.

BIANCA:

(Sighs) I know.

MARISA:

I will help you out.

BIANCA:

Thank you.

INT. DIXIE AND TAD'S HOME - NIGHT

Tad sits.

TAD:

This seems serious.

Dixie sits next to him.

DIXIE:

It is a toss up. But, it does deal with her future.

TAD:

What do you mean?

DIXIE:

I am just saying that the house she has is too much for her at that age. Maybe, she should just go into a smaller place. I think it would be best for all of us involved. It would be the best decision for Opal. Please tell me that you agree.

INT. MARISA AND BIANCA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Erica sits on the end of the bed bench.

ERICA;

Jackson I am going to lay down the law with you. I want you back. I at least want to start things again. If we start things again I will show you that I have changed one hundred percent. Just give me a shot.

JACKSON:

Erica...

ERICA:

After all the years we have spent in one another's lives, you just can't give up on me. On us.

ERICA:

So Jack, after all we've been through are you really going to tell me that we are TRULY and COMPLETELY over? I need an answer. I need an answer for us. I need an answer so I can move on with my life.

JACKSON:

Erica my answer to our future is...
