At the Police Department Edwin Callison is sitting behind his desk when his boss Commissioner Charity Summers walks out of her office and over to his desk.

Charity- we have one hell of a huge problem

Edwin- what do you mean?

Charity- Brian Jenkins! The man that torched your sister a couple years back who had been reportedly released from prison. Well I just got a call from the Mayor asking me why I haven't caught the escaped prisoner yet.

Edwin- So he wasn't set free?

Charity- No he wasn't suppose to get out the court screwed up their paper work and released him instead of the guy that was suppose to be released. So I need you to get out their on the street and start looking for him.

Across town in an abandon warehouse in a sound proof room Brian Jenkins is walking around the room looking at an 18 year old named Stephen Donovan who is tied down to the bed.

Brian- Oh do you not like the place that I've chosen for you. Well I thought it was really nice but yet you've never seen the inside of a prison have you? No! But I know your father has and he still is. The bad thing about you never being in prison is you really don't know how it works in there. You see if you want something from someone you have to give something for them to help you. Or in my case you just take it. See your father Mike is in prison for killing your mother which I'm pretty sure you already knew that. See I needed his help and he gay me an offer and I declined it which made him very mad. So for pay back he made me his bitch, which is exactly what I'm going to do to you.

PART 1 - AT THE PARK

Sebastian West walks into the park with his book bag and sits on the bench. He looks to the left, then to the right and is certain that nobody is there. He takes out a small bag of marijuana, then looks for something else while focused on the bag.

Sebastian: Dammit.

Sydney offers him a lighter. This breaks his focus on the bag and he looks up at her.

Sydney: Looks like you need one of these.

Sebastian: Thank you.

He reaches out for the lighter, but Sydney pulls it back.

Sydney: So are you gonna smoke that all by yourself?

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

MICHAEL’S APARTMENT - Kiki walks in with a gift bag, smiles, and takes a red teddy out of it. She turns to the table, which is pristinely set with two candles, handkerchiefs, silverware, two champagne glasses, and a silver, ice filled bucket with a bottle of champagne in it. She then gets a call on her cell phone.

Kiki: Hmm if it isn’t my sexy fiance. Wait till you get home.

Michael is at ELQ sitting at his desk staring at his computer.

Michael: Hey babe. I’m...gonna be home a little late tonight.

---

Kiki: Let me guess...ELQ stuff.

---

Michael: Yeah we just got word that they’re gonna announce the winning bid for the Waterfront Project. I’m sorry. I promise I’ll make it up to you.

---

Kiki (sighing): Okay. I can’t lie and say I’m not disappointed.

---

Michael: I know I know. I’ll see you later. Love you.

---

Kiki: Love you, too.

AT THE QUARTERMAINES..

Monica steps away from the living room door as she talks to Tracy.

Monica: I’m gonna do whatever it takes to keep Carly away from Jason.

Tracy: And how do you plan on doing that? It hasn’t worked all these years. What makes you think it’s gonna be effective now?

Monica: I brought down Sonny Corinthos didn’t I?

Monica flashes back to giving a recording of Sonny admitting that he shot A.J. to Anna Devane…

Anna: What is this?

Monica: Listen to it. It’ll get you the fish you’ve been trying to catch for years.

Monica flashes back to the present.

Tracy: I don’t know how you managed to pull that off, but Carly isn’t gonna be that simple.

Monica: Trust me none of this is easy, but I’ll be damned if I let Carly destroy my other son.

Monica and Tracy turn around and there are Carly and Jason

CAMERA PAN ON CARLY AND JASON, QUICK CUT TO THEME SONG.

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

PART 2

Sebastian and Sydney are sitting next to each other on the park bench, and they have just finished smoking a joint.

Sebastian: You better not tell anyone about this.

Sydney: Oh please. It’s not the end of the world if someone finds you smoke weed. Besides, can you tell me where I can get some more of this good stuff from?

Sebastian: How do I know you’re not a narc?

Sydney immediately stands up.

Sydney: Don’t be ridiculous. Narcs normally don’t smoke joints!

Sebastian: Find your own weed guy.

Sydney: You’re a total ass!

Sebastian: Thank you.

Sydney: I’m hungry.

Sebastian: Go get something to eat then.

Sydney: Ugh!

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

Morgan is outside of Kelly’s sitting on a bench, and Kiki walks up. Morgan notices her.

Morgan: Hey Kiki.

Kiki: Morgan what’s up?

Morgan: Just went for a run. What’s up with you?

Kiki: Nothing, just getting something to eat.

Morgan: Are you sure that’s it?

Kiki sighs.

Kiki: No it’s not.

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

Carly: I would never hurt Jason.

Monica: You...are poison. I lost one son because of you and Sonny and I won’t stand by and watch that happen again!

Carly: I’m sorry, Monica, for your loss. I wouldn’t know what to do if I lost Michael or Morgan, but A.J. made his own choices.

Monica: You’re a human tornado. You leave destruction in your wake.

Jason: Mom that’s enough.

Monica: It’s true. You need to stay away from Carly before she destroys you.

Tracy: Jason we’ve gotta get to ELQ. The winning bids are gonna be announced soon.

Tracy walks out the door, and as she closes the front door, she walks and looks in her purse for something. Suddenly, Sydney bumps into her, and Tracy notices a lighter that falls out of Sydney’s purse.

Sydney: My God! Not only are you a bitch, you’re a clumsy bitch.

Tracy picks up the lighter.

Tracy: Hmm what would this be for?

Sydney: What is it to you?

Sydney tries to walk past Tracy but Tracy stops her.

Tracy: You wreak!

Sydney: Wreaks of what?

Tracy: Are you really gonna try to play coy with me Syd?

Sydney: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Tracy: Pot!

Sydney: I can’t wait till Luke gets back. It’s been a long time for you hasn’t it? You really need to find a hobby.

Tracy: Does Maya know that you light up joints?

Sydney: She knows all about that.

Tracy: Maybe where you lived before, but not here in Port Charles.

Sydney: Is there a point you’re trying to make?

Tracy: I bet Maya would ship you to an iron clad, maximum security, prison-like rehab facility. In fact, why don’t we call her right now and let her know...

Sydney (grabbing Tracy’s phone): Please...don’t tell my sister.

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

Jason: Mom can you watch Danny while I go to the office? Sam should be coming soon to get him.

Monica: Of course I’d watch my grandson.

Carly: I have to go to the MetroCourt.

Monica: On your way out of Port Charles I hope.

Monica walks into the living room and sits on the couch as she watches Danny continue to play with his toys.

Monica: Hey there my little grandson. Oh I just so wish Alan were here to see you. I’m gonna be in your life as much as possible.

Robin walks in with a suitcase, and Monica does not hear or see her immediately.

Monica: I never even got to know your brother Jake, but your big brother, Michael is thriving, and running ELQ.

Robin: Big brother Michael? Monica what are you talking about? The only brother Danny had was Jake.

Monica turns around and is shocked.

Testing

INT. MONA LISA - DAY

Carter grabs a faint Lisa before she falls do the ground. Scott rushes over to a table nearby and pulls out a chair while Carter drags Lisa to the chair, seating her.

Lisa: (faint) Scott? Is it really you?

Scott: Yes, Mom.

Carter comes back to them with a glass of water. He hands it to Scott, who is now kneeled next to his mother. He holds the glass while Lisa takes a sip.

Scott: You all right?

Lisa: I will be . . . (strokes his face gently) So glad to see you . . .

Lisa then strikes her son across the face. Scott holds his face, which stings. Carter is stunned. Lisa jumps up and hovers over her son.

Lisa: How dare you! How dare you do this to me!

On Scott totally shocked,

CUT TO

INT. BARBARA & HENRY'S HOUSE (KITCHEN)

Henry, with a chef hat and apron that reads "I rub my meat for two mins," dances around the kitchen while the pots of the stove create a slight fog from the steam.

Henry: (singing) Pour it up! Pour it up! That's how we ball out! . . . Strips clubs and dollar bills--

He is abruptly interrupted by a knock at the door. Aggravated, Henry opens the door to reveal his younger sister, CLARK COLEMAN.

Henry is speechless.

Clark: (distraught) I need your help.

On Henry worried

CUT TO

INT. TOM & MARGO'S COTTAGE - DAY

Mo and Casey sit on the sofa making out. Tom then barges in slamming the door. The two break apart like two teens that have been caught in the act. As the rearrange their clothes:

Tom: Where is your mother?!

Casey: She's at the station. What's wrong?

Tom: Emily!

Casey: What now?

Tom tosses the paper at Casey before he storms up stairs. Casey unballs the paper to see the headline (from last episode) featuring Tom, Carter, and Scott.

On Casey cringing,

FADE OUT

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7m5isq5q04

FADE IN:

INT. TOM & MARGO'S COTTAGE - DAY

Casey kisses Mo (before she leaves) and closes the door behind her. Tom comes down the stairs, undoing his tie and tossing it to the side.

Casey: You sure you're fine?

Tom: Do I look fine? (off Casey holding his hands up for mercy) Sorry.

Casey: No problem but does this story even has any truth to it? I mean we haven't seen or heard from Uncle Scott since I was child. You sure Emily isn't fabricating this to p*ss you off?

Tom: No she isn't. For once she isn't lying in that rag she calls a paper.

Casey: (confused) So then I don't get while you're mad at Emily . . .

Tom: Because she's ruining my campaign! Don't you see it!

Casey: Dad, I doubt anyone is taking Emily or her paper seriously. Her past isn't squeaky clean either . . .

Tom: But when you're running up against someone with a stellar track record such as Carter Wallace--

Casey: Dad, you need to chill.

Casey goes and sits on the sofa. He pats on it to indicate he wants Tom to join him, to relax. After fighting it, Tom gives in.

Casey: Dad, you have a stellar track record too.

Tom: I do but--

Casey: Not "buts." Who cares that you left mid office almost fifteen years ago? That was then. This is now.

Margo rushes in breathing heavily.

Margo: Oh honey! There you are. (rushes over and kisses Tom) I went by the campaign office and Bonnie told me everything. (calming down) You OK?

Tom: Not really.

Margo: Don't worry, honey. We'll figure this out--me, you, Bonnie, Lisa--

Tom jumps up from the sofa

Tom: Mom! I gotta go see her.

Margo: We're coming with you.

On a shot of the Hughes rushing out,

CUT TO

INT. BARBARA & HENRY (KITCHEN)

Henry and Clark are now seated at a table. We enter mid-convo. Henry is trying to pry some info out of her.

Clark: Henry, can you stop!

Henry: No! You just come beating down my door and you want me to stop?

Clark: Yes.

Henry: We haven't heard from you in years! Maddie, me, Bernadette--

Clark: I'm fine. (swiping hair out of face) Can't you tell?

Henry: Not really but I'll drop it for now . . .

Clark: I just need a place to stay for a few nights--

Henry: What? Hold on--you just come in here and expect to provide you a haven when you can't tell me where the heck you've been for the past five years?! Really, Clark?

On Clark moaning,

CUT TO

INT. MONA LISA

Picking up where we left off of Lisa slapping Scott, and both he and Carter stunned:

Scott: What was that for!

Lisa: For not picking up the phone and calling me! For not visiting me! Your brother--

Scott: Oh I've seen ole' Tom already.

Lisa: What? So you've been in town for awhile now! (to Carter) And you knew?!

Carter searches for the right words, but before he can get them out, Lisa pops him in the face. Carter now holds his face, shocked.

Lisa: Now I see why you were using me--getting close to me. You wanted to stick it to me and Tom. (pointing to Scott) And he's the best way to do so?

Scott: He didn't even know I was related you to until the night I arrived in Oakdale.

Lisa: Oh really? So how do you two know each other?

Scott: We met awhile back in Somerset. I had a small practice there, he was there visiting--

Lisa: So you two became buddies and decided to come here and run for district attorney?

Carter: No! I didn't even ask him to join me until weeks after I decided to come to Oakdale.

Scott: Exactly.

Lisa: (stewing) Oh OK . . . So Tom knew you were here?

Scott: Yes. I've been here since Christmas.

Lisa: What!

Tom, Margo, & Casey come rushing in and up to Lisa, Carter, & Scott.

Tom: Mom--

Lisa pops him across the face.

Lisa: How could you! (to both of her boys) How could both of you! . . . (enraged, flailing around) How could all of you!

Casey and Margo step back, not wanting to feel the wrath of Lisa.

On Tom holding his face, now stunned too.

EXT. DOCKS – NIGHT

A thick fog nearly consumes the setting when a boat pulls in. A pair of feet steps off the boat and it is revealed to be John Hu. He looks around and likes what he sees. Suddenly, a Don Chi, Hu’s henchman, steps off the boat from behind him. He has a briefcase in hand.

Don: Pretty foggy here tonight, huh?

John: Just how I like it.

Don: So you never told me why we’re here in Springfield.

John: Patience, patience. All good things to those who wait.

John digs into his pocket and reveals a small photo of Harley. He brightens up at the sight of her.

John: (putting it back in his pocket) We have to get things prepared for the shipment. Is all the money there.

Don: (tapping the briefcase) Yep. Counted it twice. Five million dollars.

John: Good. Let’s get back on the boat and circle around the bay until they arrive with our stash.

Don: Yes, sir.

Don heads back onto the boat. John starts to head back onto the boat, and takes one look back . . .

John: Springfield . . . my home away from home.

He gets back on the boat and it takes off.

EXT. YACHT – NIGHT— DREAM SEQUENCE

Harley is dressed to the “nines.” She is donning a beautiful haute couture gown while she sets on the deck of the yacht, which glides across the Danube River. The scenery—its so captivating and refreshing, mesmerizes her. A male hand then reaches into the frame and grabs her hand, placing a flute with champagne in it. She looks up (and we follow) to see the man is non other than John Hu.

Harley: John . . .

John: Ssh. Don’t say a word, my sweet.

Harley: But—

John leans in and kisses Harley passionately, silencing her. Then a shot of the boat drifting off into the night, and

Harley jumps out the sound of someone beating at the door.

Phillip (O.C.): Harley! Harley, are you there.

Harley: Ugh.

Harley gets up, with her hair tossed everywhere, and heads to the door. She snatches the door open to Phillip, who jumps back at the sight of her. He can see the fury in her eyes.

Harley: What!

Phillip: We need to talk.

Phillip barges in without being invited. Harley astonished by this.

Harley: Umm . . . Phillip, I didn’t—

Phillip: What is about you not wanting Zach attend Lincoln Prep? It’s a good school!

Harley: With a lot of spoiled brats!

Phillip: Just say it, Harley! You don’t want Zach to attend Lincoln Prep or have anything to do with my family or me because you’re afraid he’ll end up just me like.

The door to the room flings open and Alan Michael rushes into the room, frantic. He starts to scope out the room and Holly trails behind him.

AM: Mom! Mom!

Holly: Alan Michael, be quiet! Do you wanna be heard?

Alan Michael nods understandingly. He peeks in the closet and sees that it has been cleared. He looks to Holly, anxious.

AM: Where is she?

Holly: She couldn’t’ve gone too far.

AM: I wouldn’t put it past her.

The door closes and Alan Michael and Holly turn to see India leaning on the door.

India: Looking for Caroline or should I say Hope?

Alan Michael’s jaw drops. He charges towards India with rage in his eyes, but Holly grabs him, stopping him.

AM: You! I should’ve known it! You—

India: You better settle down. Not if you want me to remain silent.

AM: Remain silent? (trying to break free) That can be arranged!

Holly: (restraining him) Calm down! (to India) Where is Hope?

India: Oh Holly . . . (shaking head) you knew about Hope too? This gets better and better.

Holly: India . . .

India: I wonder how Ed is going to take the news—his main squeeze keeping such big secrets from him. (gloating) Bet he won’t like it.

Ed looks down to see someone standing within the fog.

Ed: Hello?

Hope emerges from the fog looking destroyed, mascara dripping down her eyes as if she’s been crying nonstop.

Ed: Caroline, you all right?

Ed steps off the porch and walks over towards her.

Ed: Do I need to call Alan?

Hope: No!

Ed: Did something happen? Did Alan harm you?

Hope: No.

Ed: Come with me.

Ed takes her by the arm and tries to take her by the arm, but she jerks away.

Harley: Phillip, are we seriously going to do this tonight?

Phillip: Yes!

Phillip storms over to the sofa and sits.

Phillip: (patting the sofa) Come sit.

Harley: No.

Phillip: I’m not leaving till we talk.

Harley: You sure about that?

Phillip: Harley . . . please.

Harley sighs heavily and complies with his wishes by sitting across from him.

Harley: What Phillip?

Phillip: This has to stop—this tension between you and me.

Harley: There is no tension.

Phillip: There is.

Harley: Phillip! (gets up and points to the door) Goodbye!

Phillip: No.

Harley: Leave!

Phillip: I said no.

Harley walks over and grabs the phone off the end table and starts to dial.

Phillip: (sighs) Who are you calling?

Harley: Frank. So he can come and whoop your ass and take you to jail.

Phillip crosses over and struggles the phone away from Harley. Then he tosses it across the room and shatters into pieces.

Harley: Phillip!

Phillip: Now lets sit and talk like adults.

Harley: Talk like adults? Screw you!

Phillip: Why do you hate me, Harley? Why! Is this because of how I took Zach from you? I thought you’ve forgiven me!

Harley: Well you thought wrong.

Harley grabs her keys. She goes to exit but Phillip grabs her by the arm, restraining her.

Harley: Let me go!

Phillip: No! Not until you listen to me!

Harley tries to pry free of Phillip’s grip.

Harley: My opinion isn’t changing, Phillip! Zach is not going to Lincoln Prep. End of story—

Harley breaks free but falls onto the floor. She holds her arm in pain while Phillip rushes to her side.

Phillip: (worried) Harley, you OK!

Harley: No!

Harley kicks Phillip away from her.

Harley: See! See! You see why I don’t want Zach anywhere near you! Your family! You’re a bully, Phillip! You’re sick!

Phillip: Harley, it was an acci—

Harley looks past Phillip to see Zach standing at the bottom of the stairs. Noticing Harley’s reaction, Phillip turns and sees Zach too. Guilt comes over Phillip.

Zach: What’s going on? Mom, are you OK?

Harley: (covering) Nothing. (getting back up) Nothing at all.

Zach: But I heard you two screaming.

Phillip: It was nothing, Zach. Just a simple disagreement. (devastated) I-I’m sorry, Harley. Forgive me. (fighting back tears) Forgive me.

Holly: Is she here?

Ed points to Hope. Alan Michael rushes in and kneels down next to her. Holly enters and Ed closes the door. They both watch what’s about to happen.

Alan Michael: Caroline! I’m so sorry.

She doesn’t respond.

Alan Michael: I just wanna let you know that you’re not fired. Your job is still intact and I want you to come home with me. OK?

She still doesn’t respond.

Alan Michael: Caroline . . . (tearing up) please forgive me.

She slowly turns to see her son crying. She wipes the tears from his eyes.

Hope: Don’t cry, my sweet baby. I forgive you.

Kiara’s heels clicked against the tile granite floor tiles of the kitchen as she walked to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of mineral water. Her long brown hair was in a neat bun at the top of her head and her olive skin was complimented with a cute white lace dress. Her makeup was fresh and her skin looked dewy.

“Oh, you’re back,” Ashley says in a sarcastic tone while walking into the living room dressed in a cami and daisy dukes her long hair loose down to her shoulders.

“Yes, London was quite enjoyable thank you for asking. I always get joy in further refining my craft,” Kiara tells her sister.

She walks out to the patio admiring the view of the city midday. Ashley follows behind plopping down on a black lounge.

“You know just because you’re a grad student at Yale and you had a small role on Broadway doesn’t mean you’re above the rest of us,” Ashley quips.

“Did you listen to the words that came out your mouth? I excelled all my life; while you choice local parochial school as an option I was thrilled to attend one of the top boarding schools in the country. I graduated top of my class and became the only member of this family to attend an Ivy League school. You may not have higher inhibitions but my goal is to be an actress and I never set a goal I can’t achieve,” Kiara says proudly.

“Did you practice that speech? Yes you were a good student but dad’s money and your last name got you into Yale’s School of Drama. And I thought you wanted to do movies and TV? Why are you doing wasting your youth in grad school?” Ashley inquires.

“I’m refining my craft,” Kiara retorts. She sits down on the couch and picks up her Ipad.

“You’re dating the son of a television producer; you’ve had your SAG card since you were 10. You know you could be the lead of a TV show right now. Are you afraid to move out of your comfort zone?” Ashley asks.

Kiara smiles a sly smile. “Let’s talk about you for a moment. What’s this I hear about sneaking into the club?”

“I just wanted to have a night out with the girls so we got dressed up and I went downstairs and partied. We were dancing and having a good time. Dad’s busy freaking out over what this supposedly means for his reputation,” Ashley explains. “I don’t know why he’s so worried about a little small town gossip.”

“Well considering his history as well as that of his father, it’s easy to see why they would be worried about another scandal. Grandma is justified for being distraught over the affairs,” Kiara expressed. She sets her Ipad down on the table.

“Please she got millions in that divorce settlement and then she got money from the tabloids for airing out our family business. She was being spiteful about something she knew about for over a decade,” Ashley said.

“I’m not sure what lies dad covered the story up with but she didn’t know her husband was sleeping with younger women who worked for his company. She would’ve left much sooner had she know. Grandma had class and dignity just like my mother,” Kiara said.

Ashley rolled her eyes. “Oh here it comes! More my mom versus your mom crap. I know dad left your mother for mine and you’re jealous.”

Kiara leaps from her seat. “That couldn’t be further from the truth,” she bellows. “Our father cheated on my mother with a younger version of her and he’s rumored to have slept with quite a few women in this town. I’m happy she was able to flee in time.”

“And just like grandma she took a nice chunk of change with her,” Ashley pointed out. “I don’t believe those rumors about dad having affairs despite how my parents got together.”

“You are more naive than I thought. Let’s hope you never discover any of our father’s hidden secrets. I knew I should’ve spent the rest of my break in New York with my mother,” Kiara turned and headed back inside.

"It's not too late for that," Ashley snaps.

Mr. Harrington walks in the living room.”Kiara, when did you get home?” he asks.

“Very early this morning, daddy. I was tired and wasn’t in the mood to talk,” she replies.

He can feel the tension in the room. “What’s going on here?” he inquires.

“Ashley tried to insinuate that my mother and your mother are nothing but gold digging whores,” Kiara says. “The daughter of one however has no place judge.”

“Because you’re just Little Miss Perfect,” Ashley derides.

“Kiara! You don’t talk about your family that way,” Mr. Harrington raises his voice in a stern tone.

“I’m sure others do. You and your wife can try and keep up the façade but I see right through it. I see something much more deep past the shallow surface,” Kiara says stomping off.

“What was that all about?” Mr. Harrington asked.

Ashley shrugs. “How should I know? She woke up in a bad mood, I guess. It was the usual back and forth until she brought up our family and reputations.”

“What did she say?” he asks.

“Something about not brushing off every rumor about you; that we’ll find some out to be true,” Ashley recalls.

“You weren’t buying into that were you?” he asks cautiously.

“Please, ain’t nobody got time for that,” Ashley laughs before adding. “Let her throw her little hissy fit. She lives here with us so she can’t be mad for long.”

“I hope you’re right. One thing I’ve learned from my own mother is to never mess with a Harrington woman when she’s angry,” Mr. Harrington noted.

• Hayley realizes she had an alcohol-infused one night stand and finds herself on the ledge.
  
• Jack told Blair he had a boyfriend.
  
• Lucas has a prisoner.
  
• Skye has a secret.
  
• The mystery woman changes her plan.
  

So it may not be my strongest episode, but I hope this helps set up some more of the drama ahead. Apologies if the tone seems a little disjointed at this point, I'm still trying to figure out the right mix of comedy and drama here, but I think it still turned out okay.

Thanks for reading!

EPISODE 3

It's buzzing at The Royal. The grand opening is upon us, and champagne is in every glass. Kian, Jason and Peter socialize with the local foodies and press, basking in the glory of their creation. Ryan passes by them, hors d'oevres artfully displayed on the tray in his hands. Jason pulls Ryan over momentarily.

JASON: Can you do me a favour and ask the kitchen to wait ten minutes before serving the mains? I'm gonna have Peter and Kian give speeches, then at my cue, get the staff ready and we'll parade everything out all at once, alright?

RYAN: Got it, boss.

Ryan is about to hastily scurry away, Jason stops him before he does so, and looks at him with a wry smile.

JASON: And don't call me boss. Got it?

RYAN: Yes, b..Jason.

Jason lets Ryan go, and wrinkles his nose, shaking his head.

Jason then goes back to mingling with the crowd, drinking far faster than anyone else in the room. He still manages to come off charming, if a little sloppy.

Kian and Peter shmooze with the press, Kian held close to Peter's side, but Kian's eyes are clearly following Jason instead. Peter's so caught up in having a sexy young guy on his side, he barely notices as he chats endlessly with the socialites around him.

Kian tunes it out and daydreams of he and Jason in bed together. Jason's kiss on his neck and heading south before Peter calling his name snaps him out of it.

PETER: Kian!

KIAN: Oh...hey.

PETER: You look like you're a thousand miles away, babe.

KIAN; Sorry, I just...I couldn't believe that all of this was for me. I had to soak it all in for a sec.

PETER: Well, get used to it, babe, cos this is just the start of it for you.

Kian smiles a wide smile and gives Peter a quick peck on the lips, more in appreciation than out of love. Regardless, the group talking with them still beam at them, mistaking their display as a sign of great romance.

As this happens, Jason gets up on the small stage in one corner of the room, clinking his glass with his fork to draw attention to himself.

JASON: Excuse me, everybody. Can I have everyone's attention for just a second, please.

The room grows mostly silent and turns to face Jason, a few members in the crowd still chatter.

JASON: Hey!

Jason points to the source the noise, a twinkle in his eye as he does so. The crowd laughs.

JASON: I wanted to thank you all for coming here, and I have something extremely important that I want to say about someone who is very important to everyone here, but especially to me.

Kian looks to Jason with eyes darting. Kian shakes his head at Jason hoping to avert a disaster, while Jason looks relaxed and ignores Kian's worries.

Down on Queen West, Darren chats with his friend, artist Calvin J at his art show. Out of the corner of his eye, Darren spots Alexis come into the gallery. Alexis' face drops and she turns sharply to the bar, avoiding contact with Darren as much as possible. Undeterred, Darren excuses himself and heads over to Alexis.

As Alexis picks up a glass of wine at the bar, Darren startles her with his greeting.

DARREN: HEY baby, what's up?

ALEXIS: You want me to spill this all over the place?

DARREN: Sorry, baby, if you spilled, i'ma buy you another.

ALEXIS (unimpressed): How gracious of you.

DARREN: Come to think of it, I might just buy you one anyway.

ALEXIS: *sigh* This may come as a huge shock to you, but you're actually nowhere near as suave as you think you are.

Darren grabs at his chest.

DARREN: MY HEART!

Alexis rolls her eyes, takes a sip of wine as she walks away.

DARREN: Wait wait wait, wait a minute, girl. Come here, I got someone I want you to meet.

ALEXIS: If it's your mother, I don't think we're at that stage of the relationship yet.

DARREN: Yet. Cha-ching! Progress.

Alexis follows him reluctantly, shaking her head at his theatrics as he takes her over to meet Calvin.

Back at the restaurant, a beautiful black woman in her early 40s enters the room in a dazzling red gown. Her hair done up in a tight bun, she looks every bit as beautiful as a woman in her 20s, but twice as graceful. She stands at the back of the room as Jason makes his speech.

JASON: I'm glad you're all here tonight for our grand opening. It really means a lot to me and Kian, and Peter of course, that you're here to help us celebrate the launch of this amazing new restaurant.

Kian winces at Jason's remark. He knows the comment was unintentional, and realizes he's overthinking things, but worries that there's a possibility some buried resentment at Jason's status as Kian's hidden lover will make its way into Jason's speech.

JASON: The Royal will be one of a kind in this community, a restaurant of fine food for everybody. And we have two very important people to thank for this...Kian and Peter.

The crowd applauds as Jason motions them to step up. Kian is unsure of what's going on, still deep in thought, while Peter, eager to grab the spotlight, races up to capture the glory of the moment.

PETER: Thank you, everybody. Thanks for coming out, and even greater thanks to my talented, and loving partner, in life and in business...Mr. Kian McClary.

The applause continues as Kian finally steps up on the stage.

PETER: Kian is probably the finest discovery I've ever made. Not only is he one of the best chefs in the country, but he also has quite possibly the best taste in the world. Not only for his food, but for choosing an old lug like me.

Peter jabs Kian in the side, as the audience laughs. Kian laughs along with them but a slight discomfort is still visible in his face.

As Peter continues to go on about how great he is, Ryan stands in the doorway of the kitchen, ready to lead the night's parade of great food with the wait staff. He notices the beautiful black woman in the doorway and can't take his eyes off her. She gives a seductive smile and turns back to Peter. Ryan smiles back clumsily, then looks back at the stage as well, waiting for Jason's cue.

PETER: ...and that is going to be the key to our success.

JASON: Now without further ado, let's all raise our glasses to The Royal.

As the call goes out to raise their glasses, Ryan's handed a glass of champagne by another member of the wait staff, Jason motions to Ryan to hand it over to the woman he was looking at before. Ryan quickly scurries over to her and hands her a glass.

RYAN: Here you are, Madam.

MARY: Call me Mary. And thank you, handsome.

RYAN: You're welcome.

Ryan shuffles back to his corner, as the room prepares to toast.

JASON: To The Royal

ALL: To The Royal!

Alexis toasts with Darren. She's had a few drinks by now, but still seems put off.

DARREN: You look like you could kill someone, and I don't think I've crossed that line yet.

ALEXIS: You're teetering on the edge, but no, you haven't.

DARREN: Then I guess I better watch my step.

ALEXIS: Trust me, you're nowhere near as bad as some people tonight.

DARREN: Oh?

ALEXIS: I wasn't supposed to be here alone tonight but--

DARREN: But you got stood up and now you wanna get your mind off it. I get it. I know the feeling.

ALEXIS: Why does that not surprise me?

DARREN: Now YOU'RE teetering on the edge.

Alexis laughs and orders another drink. Darren finishes his and sits a little closer.

DARREN: You really better slow down, you know.

ALEXIS: I'm a big girl, and I don't need some he-man looking out for me.

DARREN: Nah, it's not that. I just know a lot of girls who think they can handle their booze, then they end up trippin' over their heels and throwing up on some dude's Cadillac.

ALEXIS: I feel like there's a story there.

DARREN: You have no idea.

ALEXIS (laughing): Well come on, tell me!

DARREN: Only if you promise to let me walk you home.

ALEXIS: Hmmmm.....I think considering we're both going to the same place.

DARREN: Mmmhmm???

ALEXIS: I think I could handle that.

DARREN: Excellent.

ALEXIS: Now don't get too excited. I don't want you getting the wrong idea.

DARREN: Promise. I'm a gentleman. I treat you like a lady.

ALEXIS: Good. You know you're a lot less annoying after a few drinks.

DARREN: Well thanks a lot, lady. What you tryin' to say?

Darren gets in closer and tickles Alexis a bit. Alexis, whose defenses are now fully and clearly down, is actually enjoying the attention, which passive, distracted boyfriend Ryan never gives her.

ALEXIS: AH! Stop it. (laughs). Come on. TELL ME! Tell me the story.

Alexis looks up at Darren, who leans in to kiss her. Alexis at first recoils, but it's only momentary. She leans back in to reciprocate.

Monday, March 19th

Anna is having coffee with John at the estate.

Anna: I know this was quite short notice, but I needed your expertise immediately.

John: It's fine, my day was slow today and I always like to help out a friend.

Anna: You've probably already heard the news about McGregor.

John: That shocked the heck out of me. What's going on?

Anna: Apparently, it was some software error.

John: But you suspect otherwise.

Anna: Cassandra was the first to make the news public, she had the scoop. It just seems as if she had

some inside information.

John: Wouldn't be the first time.

Anna: She's committed corporate espionage before?

John: It's how she started in the corporate world.

Anna: Well, if she has a spy in McGregor, I need to find out who it is.

John: Spies are usually long gone after they deliver their information.

Anna: Makes sense, but I haven't a clue about who inside the company it could have been.

John: Low level staffers can do a lot more than you'd ever imagine, even temp workers.

Anna: And we have a lot of those.

John: My advice would be to have Yvette and Joseph keep everything very airtight right now, keep as much between them and board as possible.

Anna: Investors will want to know.

John: Secure communications over a secured network.

Anna: We already have that.

John: Not the kind I'm talking about. My firm has some special software that is made especially for this sort of situation.

Anna: All right, I'll tell Yvette to contact your firm.

John: We will get you squared away.

Anna: Thank you, we've never had to deal wit a spy before.

John: In this economy, it's more common. Everyone wants to make a quick buck.

Anna: When we find out who it is, they will be dealt with accordingly.

___________________________________

Yvette and Joseph are discussing the selling of assets at McGregor, when Leonard walks in.

Joseph: Afternoon, Leonard.

Yvette: Yes, we were expecting you.

Leonard: First things first, since some of our board members can't be present constantly throughout this crisis, they suggested that I

speak collectively for them.

Yvette: That's fine, just as long as we have clear communication.

Joseph: Here is the latest, we have liqudated seven stores already, plus several unused properties.

Yvette: And unfortunately, we are expanding into furloughs. We have to let a ton of people go just to free up the cash.

Leonard: Is that enough to fill the shortfall?

Joseph: Not just yet.

Leonard: I'll report that to the board.

Yvette: I'm sure you will.

Leonard: Just a word of caution, I've talked to some investors, they are growing more restless.

Joseph: That's not a big surprise. We are working on unloading the men's line next.

Leonard: Now that ought to fetch a pretty penny, that's a gold mine.

Yvette: That's why it's up for sale.

Joseph: We did get some good news today, the bankers granted us an extention.

Leonard: Yes, that's fantastic news.

Joseph: It still is uphill from here, though.

Leonard: I've got to go, but please keep the board apprised.

Yvette: Of course.

Leonard leaves.

Yvette: I think it was him that called Mom and let her know about this mess.

Joseph: Why would he do that?

Yvette: I have no idea, but he's been the most vocal since this happened.

Joseph: His family does own stock, he's probably just protecting their investment.

Yvette: Could be, but I still think he's a little sneaky.

Joseph: His uncle was a loyal board member and although he was abrasive at times, he was reliable.

Yvette: I don't know. At this point, I need to focus strictly on the shortfall.

Joseph: We are closing the gap, if we get lucky with the men's line sale, we are in the clear.

Yvette: The offers I am getting aren't quite enough.

Joseph: I do have one potential offer, but I don't know if you'll like that buyer.

Yvette: Who is it?

Joseph: George.

Yvette: Absolutely not, after all the trouble he caused us, I wouldn't trust him.

Joseph: He sounds like he's changed and besides, if he's willing to buy the line, it's a clean sale and we owe him nothing.

Yvette: You've got a point, I'm just very leery about everything now.

Joseph: Hey, I have my reservations too, but if it comes down to his offer being the one saves this company from falling apart, then we have to take it.

Yvette: I still cannot believe that this happened. Everything had been going so well.

Joseph: Let's keep it together and stay focused, we can't afford to miss a step here.

Yvette: It's just overwhelming, especially now that Mom knows.

Joseph: We had breakfast this morning, she wasn't pleased that we didn't inform her immediately.

Yvette: I got the same talking too.

Joseph: Motivation, that's all I see it as.

Cassandra and George are at WNOV's studios.

Cassandra: So, what do you think of my new station?

George: You've done well fixing it up, but

Cassandra: There's a but.

George: I think you goals are all wrong.

Cassandra: Listen, I know that the McGregor story was to your liking, but is is news.

George: Which you have used to continue your games.

Cassandra: This goodie good act doesn't fit you

George: I grew up bitter and full of anger, hatred. It didn't feel good and I had to let go.

Cassandra: I'm not bitter and angry at all, I'm running a business and finally doing for myself.

George: I am glad you doing that, but I can tell you still are consumed with anger. I don't like to see that.

Cassandra: Call it what you like, it's your opinion.

George: When are you going to see what this is doing to you?

Cassandra: It's filling up my bank account, that's what it is doing.

George: You already ended up in trouble with the SEC over your antics, you may not be able to beat them again.

Cassandra: That is for me to worry about and trust me, I'm keeping my powder dry.

George: I guess that's the best I'll get from you.

Cassandra: Worrying about me is not something you need to be doing. Focus on what is going on with you.

George: I'm just afraid I'll end up implicated in something you've done.

Cassandra: You should have no fear of that.

George: Please, keep it like that.

Cassandra: Everything I'm doing now, I will own and very happily.

Sterling walks in.

Sterling: Cassandra, some of our advertisers want more time, what should I tell them?

Cassandra: Give it to them, with the money they pay, it's a no brainer.

Sterling: Cool, I'll get back to them.

Sterling exits.

George: Your old partner in crime is helping out, now I know you're headed for trouble.

Cassandra: Like I said, you need not worry about me.

Carol arrives at Yvette's office. Yvette's assistant shows her in.

Yvette: Good day, Carol.

Carol: Likewise.

Yvette: I was a bit shocked at you wanting to make an offer on any of our assets, especially since

it would help save McGregor.

Carol: I see a lucrative buy and I go for it. I know how strong your men's line is and I'm confident I can make it stronger

under the Donahue banner.

Yvette: We are looking for the best offer, because it is such a gold mine.

Carol: I'm willing to offer you over market value, in fact, double.

Yvette: Seems you really want this.

Carol: Oh, yes.

Yvette: Double market value is good, but I do have to run this by the board.

Carol: Expected procedure. My bank is ready to cut a check within minutes of this deal being accepted.

Yvette: You definitely are well prepared to close a deal.

Carol: This is a rare opportunty, acting fast was something I didn't have to think about.

Yvette: It has it's risks for us, handing our best asset to our main competition could be suicide. But, our options are limited.

Carol: You know my offer, so I'm going to make my exit and let you sort things out.

Yvette: We'll get back to you soon.

Carol: Oh, I know.

Carol passes Joseph as she leaves.

Joseph: What's she doing here?

Yvette: She put an in offer for the mens line, double market value.

Joseph: Not hard to tell why she wants it so bad.

Yvette: Yep. So, what did the rest of the bankers say?

Joseph: Bad news.

Yvette: How bad?

Joseph: They've seized our main stores.

Yvette: No.

Joseph: And each day that they don't get a payment, there is a penalty.

Yvette: We can't cover that.

Joseph: I know, at this point, we'd have to have someone else buy into the company just to cover cash flow. We just

don't have enough to sell.

Yvette: Who?

Joseph: George offered to help.

Yvette: If he gets into this company, it's trouble.

Joseph: I'm afraid that he's the only one we can go to, no one else would be willing to buy into the company, he'd do so

just to protect the family company. I think he may be sincere

Yvette: Not long ago, he wanted to bring us down, now he wants to help? I'm not holding my breath.

Joseph: It's worth a shot. We can't lose what Mom and Dad worked so hard to build.

Yvette sighs and looks conflicted about what to do. Fade out.

Tanisha’s finger gripped closer to the trigger. Until she hears someone coming towards her.

Bernard:

Put the gun down T.

Tanisha:

You actually showed? Nice tux.

Bernard:

Could we have a gunless conversation?

Tanisha:

I need to do this.

Bernard:

Then what? You get caught? You go to jail? That’s not a life I want to see you lead.

Tanisha:

What the hell do you care about me Bernard?

Bernard:

I’ve always cared about you T. Just lower your riffle. We’ll walk away and you and I will be together. How does that sound?

Tanisha lowers her riffle. He puts out his hand for her to take.

Bernard:

You can trust me T.

Tanisha:

I just want you to take care of me Bernard.

Tanisha decides to give into him. She places her riffle over her shoulder and they walk off. Not seen by anyone.

Another couple sat at a table that was covered in white. Ava drank water as did Nate.

Ava:

You stormed out the other day I didn’t get to hear what you thought of my speech.

Nate:

I thought your speech was beautiful. You almost had me in tears.

Ava:

You couldn’t have told me that afterwards?

Nate:

Ava you already had a support group. One in particular.

Ava:

Referring to James?

Nate:

One and only.

Ava gets a call on her cell phone. She looks at the caller ID.

Nate:

I bet that’s him right now. Go ahead. Take the call.

Ava stands up to take his call. She shields the receiver to tell Nate how she feels about him.

Ava:

You’re acting ridiculous!

(to James)

Hey what’s up?

James:

Hey I know this sounds weird but I’m in the area. You’re at this big wedding that’s going on right?

Ava:

Yeah I am.

Ava begins walking.

Ava:

Where exactly are you?

James:

Do you know the boat house? I’m parked near there.

Ava:

Oh I see you.

Ava waves to James. He sits on the hood of his car.

Ava:

What are you doing here?

James:

I came to say good bye.

Ava:

What? Why are you leaving? I thought everything was going good here.

James:

It really was. I reconnected with you and I found Bobbie. But I just think that it’s time to move on.

Ava:

This seems like déjà vu.

Nate overhears the two talking and decides to interrupt them.

Nate:

That sounds like a great idea James. Pack your things and leave.

Ava:

(to Nate)

Don’t do this.

James:

I also wanted to tell you that I think you two make an amazing couple. You both have become two good friends of mine.

Nate:

So you’re not trying to steal Ava away from me?

James:

Of course not. I’d be lying if I said that there weren’t reacquainted feelings towards her when I came back but seeing you two together just made me realize that I’d only be a burden if I stayed.

Nate:

I’m sorry for acting like a jerk.

James:

You were being chivalrous. That’s a good trait to have.

Ava:

I’ll miss the psycho babble.

James:

At least this time we’re saying bye on good terms. If you two ever want to hang or if you want to talk about Bobbie or visit her grave together. You have my number.

Ava:

Definitely. Bye.

Ava hugs James good bye. Nate shakes his hand. James gets into his car and drives off. Ava looks at Nate.

Ava:

So are you done being jealous?

Nate:

Yep. I’m actually quite secure with myself. I got my job back with the school board and I have probably the prettiest girl in this whole entire town standing right in front of me.

Ava:

Why don’t you move in with me?

Nate:

(taken off guard)

Huh?

Ava:

You’ve lived in that damn hotel for so long now. It’s about time you feel right at home!

Ava places her arms around his neck and kisses him.

Blake’s parents Edmund and Katrina Hammerton find Lana sitting alone by herself.

Katrina:

Lana you look darling.

Lana:

Katrina. Edmund. Great to see you.

Edmund:

Can’t believe our boys had a double wedding.

Katrina:

They grew up so fast. I can only remember when they were playing in our backyards.

Lana:

I know. Time is definitely slipping.

Edmund:

Are you here with anyone?

Lana:

Unfortunately no.

Lana spots Dylan, Vi, Ryley and Jason talking with Sean.

Lana:

Definitely not.

London spends time with her family at their table. She sits down exhausted.

Bradley:

Looking good sis.

London:

Better then the first time?

Joanie:

Much better. You have such a glow to you. Divorce doesn’t do that. I should know.

Bradley:

Yeah because you pay your divorce lawyer a crap load of money that you can’t afford botox.

Patricia:

Real funny Brad. And where’s L.J.?

Gavin:

She’s with her pap pap.

Gavin holds baby L.J. and coos at the two-year-old in her party dress.

London:

My baby girl’s been passed along so much tonight.

Patricia:

That’s because she’s such a beauty. Ever thought of having another one?

London looks over at John and Alley.

London:

I feel like I already have. Excuse me.

London walks over to speak with the both of them but is pulled away by Blake.

Sean enjoys the moment he’s sharing with his children and his family.

Jason:

Tell us more about Cancun Uncle Sean.

Sean:

It’s a very beautiful and exotic location. I lived there for three years.

Vi:

Maybe we could take a family trip there.

Ryley:

Yeah I’m sure that wouldn’t have disaster written all over it.

(to Dylan)

Dylan you’re such a lucky guy. You have us all here in the same place and nothing’s gone wrong.

Jason:

Yet.

Vi:

Don’t jinx it you guys. Mom’s still here…alone.

Dylan:

Hey could I have a minute with our father?

Jason, Vi, and Ryley leave the father and son alone.

Dylan:

Ryley’s right. This is a nice family moment.

Sean:

Thank you for inviting me. I didn’t know where we stood.

Dylan:

You’re my dad and I want to make the effort to get to know you. Carrie convinced me.

Sean:

She is a fantastic girl.

Dylan:

Where’s you date? I thought for sure you’d be bringing Kellan.

Sean:

Kellan and I are no more.

Dylan:

Oh?

Sean:

Yeah. He turned out to be a different person from who I met. It just didn’t work out and I’m fine with that.

Carrie finds Dylan talking to Sean.

Carrie:

There you are. There are so many guests here I can’t keep count. Sean you look handsome.

Sean:

And you look heavenly. Like a picture out of a magazine. Why don’t you two have fun. Enjoy this special night.

Sean walks over to Lana.

Lana:

What do you want?

Sean:

I’m single.

Lana:

Great. I’d propose we get drunk and hook up but I have a feeling you would disappoint me in the sack like you did in life.

Sean:

Lana being bitter gives you wrinkles.

Sean extends out his hand. Carrie and Dylan watch from a distance.

Carrie:

Look at that.

Dylan:

Too funny.

Lana looks at him and laughs.

Lana:

Let’s dance you old queen!

Back at Rena’s dorm, she steps outside to talk with Lenvy and Will.

Will:

We saw Yvonne leave in a huff.

Lenvy:

Is everything okay?

Rena:

Yeah. Better then ever. The good news is that Alicia forgave me. Will you did it. You brought us together. If I could hug you I would.

Lenvy:

I actually know that the heavens await for him. His good deed has earned him a passage way to the pearly gates.

Will:

That’s awesome! Thank god.

Rena:

So I guess this is it? You two can go off into the light together.

Lenvy:

Unless Will decides that he wants to stay here as a spirit. That was also a possibility. We could float on over to my sister’s wedding.

Will:

It’s my time to go. Rena I should be thanking you for everything.

Lenvy:

Me too. You guided Will to be a better ghost.

Rena:

If he was a better spirit it’s because of you. You really are an angel Lenvy. Go on. Heaven’s waiting.

A bright white light begins to shine in the night sky. Will and Lenvy smile at Rena. Rena blows them a kiss and waves good bye.

Will:

You ready my angel?

Lenvy:

After you.

Will:

Yee haw!

Will takes Lenvy’s hand and they both vanish into the light. Rena felt relieved. She goes back into her dorm to watch a movie with Alicia.

Carlos and Jenny make their way up to the brides' and grooms' dinner table. Carlos shakes Blake’s hand as Jenny kisses London’s cheek.

Blake:

Where are you two off to?

Carlos:

I have a surprise for Jenny. Sorry but we have to jet.

London:

Thank you so much for coming.

Jenny:

You’re welcome. What an exciting day we had. A victorious one if you ask me. Bye guys.

Carlos takes Jenny away. Blake looks at London.

Blake:

May I have this dance Misses Hammerton?

London:

Certainly. I was kind of hoping we’d be able to talk with our ex’s.

Blake:

Now seems like a good time.

Blake leads London to the dance floor. They dance close to John and Alley.

Alley:

So this is going well.

John:

For sure. The only disaster was hurricane Nan but that just blew away.

Blake:

John?

John:

Yeah Blake?

Blake:

Would you like to dance with the bride?

John:

Sure Blake. Just as long as I’m not dancing with you.

Blake fakes like he’s going to punch him. Blake dances with Alley.

Alley:

We’re having a kid together.

Blake:

I know. What happened to the times when we were fighting about petty stuff? Now we’ll have something bigger to argue about.

(beat)

Four parents to raise L.J. and baby…?

Alley:

I know the sex of our child.

London and John overhear them.

London:

She does? I mean you do?

John:

I know too.

Alley:

I take it you’d all like to know what I’ll be having? You don’t want to be surprised?

Blake and London shake their heads.

John:

Let’s throw out some baby names.

Blake:

Presley if it’s a boy. Vivi if it’s a girl.

John:

Those names suck!

London:

What about Matthew if it’s a boy? And Jessie if it’s a girl?

Alley:

I like London’s idea. Baby Matthew will be proud to be a gift from god.

Blake:

A baby boy?

Blake hugs Alley and John.

John:

(sarcastic)

Dude don’t make me slap you. I need to dance with my woman.

John bows to London and goes back to dancing with Alley.

John:

Are you happy with the way things turned out?

Alley:

I am. I’m even happy for Dylan and Carrie. It seems everyone who deserves to be together, is together.

John:

What do you think of all this wedding stuff?

Alley:

Not really my thing. You know me John. I’m a simple girl. For me, getting hitched in Vegas would be fun. Because it would be unexpected.

John:

So if I were to maybe slip a ring on your finger. You’d say yes to eloping?

Alley:

Always and forever Mister Snaldry.

John takes out a wedding ring from his jacket and slips it on her finger.

John:

(joking)

Eloping will save us so much money Misses Snaldry!

Alley laughs at his joke. The two gaze deep into each other’s eyes and share a kiss as a secretive married couple.

Carrie was being doated on by Michael and Mary Ann. Mary Ann had tears of joy in her eyes.

Mary Ann:

Oh you look so pretty.

Michael:

The decorators really knew what they were doing.

Carrie:

Thanks you guys. I feel like the second time around, I was supposed to have my dream wedding go this way. I sort of wish that Lenvy was here to enjoy it.

Mary Ann:

We didn’t really know her but I’m sure she’s looking over you right now.

Carrie:

You’re right. I bet she is.

A woman and a male’s voice are heard arguing.

Carrie:

What’s going on?

Carrie goes to investigate. She steps off of the dance floor to find Juliana and Victor.

Carrie:

Victor you’re here?

Juliana:

He was just leaving.

Victor:

Juliana it’s not what you think. I came to congratulate you. I want to be sincere. I promise.

Juliana:

Carrie if you don’t want him here, say the word. I’ll have one of my men escort him out.

Victor:

I’m family Juliana! I know how important that is to you.

Carrie:

It’s okay mom. We can talk.

Juliana:

I’ll be watching.

Juliana leaves them alone. She hopes it wasn’t a mistake.

Victor:

Always the protector.

Carrie:

Thanks for coming?

Victor:

You look pretty. And alive. That's always a good combination.

Carrie:

Look we both know our situation is tainted. So…I don’t know what else to say...let’s maybe try to move on from what happened.

Victor:

Yeah I agree. Which is why I wanted to get out of here quickly. I just wanted to say. I’m sorry. I should’ve acted differently whenever I found out the truth about us. Instead I went into a downward spiral. I’m a different person. I’ve changed Carrie.

Carrie:

I believe you. I kind of hope that you do stay. Don’t worry about Dylan. If he sees you, I’ll handle him.

Victor:

Yeah…no…maybe it’s best if I go.

Carrie hugs Victor and smiles. Victor turns to leave but accidentally bumps into Alexia.

Victor:

So sorry.

Alexia:

Hey no problem.

Victor:

(nervous)

Are you free to dance?

Alexia:

I planned this whole wedding. But yeah. I’m free to take a break. I sure as hell need one.

Victor and Alexia dance together.

Carlos leads Jenny to the chapel set on "Blue Crystal." Her eyes were closed and her hands were trying to feel anything or get a clue of what was going on.

Carlos:

Keep your eyes closed. We’re almost there.

Jenny:

What are you doing?

Carlos:

Okay. Open them.

She opens her eyes and sees a chapel. Sitting in the alter is Agatha and Ian Hadley. A minister stands in the middle. Henry and Carinia stand to the side ready to film.

Jenny:

What is all of this?

Carlos:

Jenny Fremann. Will you marry me? Here today?

Carlos gets down on one knee to propose with a diamond ring.

Jenny:

Of course I will. But…why are we filming it?

Cairinia:

We’re writing your character back into the show.

Henry:

Your first scene is your marriage to Miguel. We’ll edit the dialogue when the time comes.

Minister:

And I’m a real minister. But I’m also an actor. This marriage will be binding.

Ian:

I'm just happy to be here and begged Cairinia to put me in the scene.

Agatha:

I get to play your mother. Eek. I’m super excited. My grand kids are going to be so happy to see me on TV! And no one knows it better then me how much you two have gone through to get to this day. You two deserve this.

Carlos:

Jenny I love you so much and I don’t know I just thought spur of the moment we could do it here. The fans will love it but we’ll have this memory for life.

Jenny is silent. She walks away from him.

Carlos:

What’s wrong?

Jenny:

It’s a little overwhelming. And maybe a little sudden?

Carlos:

We could just film the scene and get married another time if you want?

Jenny:

No. I’m just worried about something. I’m worried about Nan.

Carlos:

You need to forget about her.

Jenny:

She keeps warning that she’s going to do something. And I need to know what that something is!

Carlos:

So what if she does? She’s out of everyone’s lives, especially ours.

Henry hands Carlos and Jenny a script to look over.

Carlos:

I wrote the script myself. Feel free to add anything. Some of it is in Spanish. Hopefully you’re okay with that.

(reading)

I couldn’t think of anyone else who better suits me then you.

(in Spanish)

Usted es mi vida.

Jenny:

There is something that I would love to add.

Carlos:

What’s that?

Jenny:

(in Spanish)

Te amo chico! Tú eres mi perfección.

Carlos smiled at how good her Spanish was. The two hugged and kissed before walking on the set of their soon to be wedding.

At the bride and groom’s wedding table, Blake and Dylan stand with champagne flutes in their hand. They clink the glasses at the same time with a silver fork. Leon comes around to snap a photo of the couples.

Leon:

Picture perfect!

Dylan:

We would like to make a toast. All four of us.

Carrie:

The reason we made the wedding ceremony so short was so that we could say our vows to each other now.

London:

(joking)

And also because Blake was hungry.

The band drums the joke.

Blake:

John wrote that. Good one.

Carrie:

I didn’t get to do this at my first wedding and I’m glad I get to do it now. I get to tell you Dylan how much I truly love you. You stood by my side in my most darkest times. Now I get to spend my most happiest times with you. My knight. My hero. My love.

Dylan takes Carrie’s hand into his.

Dylan:

Carrie and I met on this campus. She was troubled and I was lonely. I remember when I first looked at her and thought. Dang. That girl is beautiful. I was really nervous to ask her out. It took me about three tries to do it. The way she answered me was pinning me down to the ground with a kiss. That kiss was one of many.

London turns to Blake and smiles.

London:

For me I came back to life. Literally. When I did there were pieces in my life that were missing. Things changed. The one thing that didn’t change was the love that I have for you Blake. Which is why I get to share my love with eve

Words from new Show runner ML Cooks

I usually don't do these kind of things and rarely give previews. I try to remain "press free" and "interview free"

There has been a lot of chaos and confusion behind the scenes lately on LIS. First it was announced that LIS was back with new episodes after being on a yearlong hiatus. After episode began to air, the show fell into another unexpected hiatus. During that time, show creator Tara Smith was unable to contribute creatively to the show she created. ML Cooks, having already been co head writer for a few years, has laid out a very detailed and dramatic long-term story projection for LIS and the show must go on and it will. Through ML Cooks.

Now with that being said. The episodes that are currently airing right now were written and produced in February of this year. They were supposed to air in March.

Having said that, you may notice some things about to happen that may seem a bit similar to the real “Days of our Lives” and the “Young and the Restless”. What do I mean?

LIS itself has been in the midst of it’s own reboot even before the yearlong hiatus. The reboot never made it to air. In that reboot, I have written in a whodunit. I again want to stress that this was created about a year ago, that I wanted to kill a certain some one off in a whodunit.

So there you have it. LIS will be telling it’s own whodunit. I will not reveal just whom it is here in this press release, you’ll have to read the series to see who it is. The whodunit will serve as a reboot as new storylines begin. LIS will not be dominated with the murder mystery as in Y&R. I am rotating other stories in and out of it.

To get the big storyline started, I am airing a series of three episodes to set up the whodunit starting with episode 460. It will be told in three different parts and will involve legacy characters such as Bill Horton and Julie Williams. Bill Horton is being played by Jerry vor Dorn

Big changes are coming for LIS with a big murder mystery to kick things off.

Stay tuned for some status updates in the casting department.

Drama lives here.

Westwood Park, Ria’s House

Natalia knocks on Ria’s door. Ria opens it up.

Ria

“Hey girl. It’s good to see you.” Ria hears the Bryan’s crying in their stroller behind Natalia.

Ria

“Girl, I’m not feeling no chill’rens right now. My stories are on girl. I’m trying to find out who killed Diane Jenkins and just who exactly is the real Todd Manning.”

Natalia

“You and your soap operas I swear.” She says entering her bestfrieds house with her the double stoller.

Ria

“Girl you know I hate to be interrupted during my story time. So what is going on?”

Nat

“Well I came to see how you were. I have not seen you in a wile. I’ve been so caught up with Bryan, Sabryn and her trial.”

Ria

“I’ve been ok. Just taking it day by day. Watching my soaps keeps my mind of my own problems.”

Natalia

“Well watching your soaps is not helping the cause. So what’s next? Are you going to get treatment for this breast cancer?”

Ria

“I have not gotten that far. I’ve been so scared. I don’t know what to do I just can’t’ believe this is happening to me.” Natalia walks over and gives Ria a hug as Bryan Jr the 1^st begins to cry.

Ria

“Damn girl. Can’t you shut that damn baby up!?”

Natalia

“It’s Sabryn’s big headed son who keeps being a cry baby. I don’t know what to do. He won’t shut up. I can’t live my life because all he wants to do is be a cry baby like his mother.”

Ria

“Well you ever think he needs his real mother Nat? With as much as Bryan charges for his whack as drinks at his club, he need to be hiring you a baby sitter or nanny or something.”

Natalia

“It’s all about my son. And keeping my family together. I am doing this for my son. You’re right though. Bryan is making a killing of his notorious expensive drinks at his club. I should be able to live out my life to. I should hire a nanny or something to help out with Sabryn’s bad ass son.”

Ria

“Do you really have to since Sabryn is going to jail right?”

Natalia

“To be honest, I really don’t know. It’s looking like Sabryn's lawyer may beat Sabryn’s murder wrap.”

Ria

“Wow, Sabryn shot Ashley eight times in front of police. How does she get away with that?”

Natalia

“I want to know the same thing. But it looks she’s about to. And the first thing she is going to do is come after me and my family. I have to be ready?”

Ria

“Well I will say Lisa is a bad ass lawyer so I am not surprised she’ll get those charges against Sabryn dropped. I will say Nat, Sabryn is a strong person. Are you going to be able to go head to head with her?”

Natalia

“Ria, I’ve won so far. I got her baby’s father, I got her son, and I now got the company she once dreamed of having. Her fashion house is non existent now. I have the life she wants. She can’t touch me.”

Ria

“How can you be so sure?”

Natalia

“I asked Bryan to marry me?”

Ria

“Shut up hoe! No you didn’t. How did that come about?”

Natalia

“Oooo, Ria you would be so proud. I gave Bryan some good p u s s y and I think he is falling in love with me. He is showing me he cares about me. All it took is some good sex.”

Ria

“I know that’s right girl. You doin the damn thang. So what did Bryan say? Is he going to marry you?”

Lavender Hill, Karim’s Mansion

Alexis unlocks the door and walks in. She is stunned to see Karim lying naked on a red satin sheet with rose pedals all around him and the floor. Candles are light and the lights are low. Soft music is playing in the background “So Sexual” by Sisqo. Alexis is quite impressed with the scene of romance.

“What is all of this?”

Karim

“I’m glad you came. I didn’t think you would come home.”

Alexis

“And why wouldn’t I?”

Karim

“A lot has been going on between us lately. Ladonna, my father and mother, my brother’s suicide, your sister, her child. “

Alexis

“It has been a lot. “

Karim

“I just wanted you to know that I love you and I believe in you. We haven’t had any “us” time. And I felt the tonight it could just be us. So why don’t you get more comfortable and lay here with me.”

Alexis is seduced. Remebering how she fell in love with Karim in the first place. His looks, his body, his sensual eyes. She takes her clothes off and lies next to Karim. He holds her.

Alexis

“This feels so good Karim. I’ve missed this.”

Karim

“I’ve missed you. And I love you Alexis. I apologize about my recent behavior, my drinking and the incident with your sister.”

Alexis

“So does this mean you are done drinking?”

Karim Looking into her eyes,

“Alexis, I love you, No issues. Not tonight. I just want to love you.” He kisses her passionately. He then pulls back and looks at her once more.

“Alexis I love you and I can’t wait to be a family. You have made me the happiest man in the world. Having my child, it’s something no one else can give me.”

Alexis

“Karim I love you to.” She kisses him back and they lean back and make love to the music. Alexis makes sure she enjoys this love session with Karim as she knows it could be her last.

Downtown Pasadena, City Jail

Bryan walks up to Sabryn’s cell.

Sabryn

“Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be at home with that tramp Natalia? playing house with my son?”

Bryan

“That was quite a show you put on with Mike today at court.”

Sabryn

“Was it? The only show I was interested in was the one about me about to beat this murder rap. And you know what is going to happen next when I get out of here?”

Bryan

“Yea yea same old story Sabryn. Revenge.”

Sabryn

“I can’t believe you are so calm. So you enjoy hurting me Bryan? The only thing I did was love you. How did we get here? Why did you do this to me? Being with Natalia and letting that low class slut raise our son? Why? What did I do to you for you to do me like this?”’

Bryan

“I was scared! I thought you weren’t going to beat this murder rap Sabryn Jesus Christ you shot Ashley in front of police eight times! How do you except to get away with that? I had to do what was best for my family and Natalia was on the same page.”

Sabryn

“Of course that leech would be. She would do anything to get at me. She’s holding this stupid grudge against me. Well Bryan it looks like I am going to beat these charges. And you should already know when I get out of here I am coming for you and that nasty skank of yours. And of course I will obtain my son. You went too far by being with nasty Natti. That’s unforgivable to me. You have forever ruined us. My son will never know you as his father. So enjoy this time you have with him now.”

Bryan

“You won’t be able to take my son away from me. I won’t let you.”

Bryan

“How do you expect to stop me?”

Bryan

“Well first off, you’re not the same Sabryn. This murder has really brown nosed you. You have lost everything. Your money, your power, and your respect. You don’t have that much to get my son from me.”

Sabryn

“And why is that? Because you had an affair with Ashley. This all stems from that. You did all of this. And I will do some error correction.”

Bryan

“Natalia asked me to marry her.”’

Sabryn

“You Bastard! A dirty Bastard! I can’t believe I have a child with you. And what did you say? Are you going to marry that whore?”

Mike

“You’re going to marry Natalia?” He says walking in on the scene.

Bryan

“This is none of your business super man.”

Mike

“I care for Sabryn. I don’t understand why you here Bryan. I have seen nothing but you hurting Sabryn. She doesn’t need you here rubbing in the fact that you are marrying her enemy.”

Bryan

“I didn’t say we were getting married. I just said she asked me to marry her. This is none of your business Mike. I have a child with Sabryn and you can’t touch that. Never!”

Mike

“Not trying to my friend. It seems you are jealous.”

Bryan

“Of what?”

Mike

“That Sabryn and I are moving closer and you wish it was you. You see you’re the runner up. You got Natalia. I got the grand prize, Sabryn. You have hurt Sabryn deeply and that’s just something she will never forgive. I would advise you not to waste your time coming around her.”

Bryan

“Who the hell do you think you are man?” Bryan tries to punch Mike but Mike blocks his punch.

Mike, chuckling

“ There there now. Calm down. You don’t want to hit the chief of police now do you?”

Bryan

“Take that title and shove it your mother’s ass Mike.”

Mike

“You know Bryan. I’ve dealt with this kind of situation before. I had to deal with Ty taking Jenn away from me. I’ve learned a thing or two from that. And let me tell you I won’t lose Sabryn to you. I mean I know it won’t even be an issue considering what you are doing to her. And look at where Ty is now, in jail. “

Bryan is furious knowing he is defeated just walks off.

Sabryn

“Wow Mike. You were amazing. That was amazing.”

Mike

“I’m not going to let Bryan hurt you no more.” He grabs her hands through the bars. She leans in and kisses him.

Sabryn

“Mike, I think I’m falling in love with you.”

Divine Design

Natalia pushes the Bryan’s baby stroller into her new office. She sits at her desk and thinks about what Ria said.

“Bryan should hire you a nanny.” Sabryn’s son begins to cry and Natalia scream out in frustration.

“Shut up damn it!”

“I’m not going to deal with this. I need time to make sure Rufus doesn’t undercut me here at DD. And I have to be ready in case Sabryn is set free. I can’t do all this and raise her damn brat. And now I got Diego back in town playing games with me. I know he’s up to something.” Natalia logs onto her computer and decides to place an add on Craig’s list for a nanny.

Court is now back in session in Downtown Pasadena.

Rufus, Sabryn, Mike, Bryan, Karim, Ladonna, and Alexis are all in attendance.

Judge

“State, call your next witness.”

Jack, standing up

“Your honor, my next witness is a doctor and has an emergency at the hospital. I ask for a delay until tomorrow.”

Judge

“I see. Does the defense wish to call anybody in the mean time? We can at least get that out the way. This trial is taking to long and taking up to much tax dollars.”

Lisa

“My pleasure your honor. I call Rufus Taylor to the stand.” Sabryn smile sand looks at Alexis. Alexis rolls her eyes at Sabrina and looks away. She lays her head on Karim’s shoulder and holds his hand. Ladonna notices this sweet scene of romance and is not impressed.

“Do all that while you can Alexis. Rufus is about to expose you.”

Rufus, struts himself up to the witness stand. The chatter increases, as people in the courtroom don’t know what to make of this cross dresser. Rufus is sworn in and Lisa approaches him.

Lisa

“How shall I address thee?”

Rue

“I would like to be called Miss Rue. I’m a bad ass Bitch around Pasadena now. So I need to be respected in that capacity. So it’s Miss Rue.”

Lisa

“I’m impressed. You know I remember you from trial’s before. You have come a long way Miss Rue. I must say you look nice.”

Rue

“Thank you. It’s been a long time coming. And I must say this is only the beginning.”

Alexis standing up

“Objection, this is supposed to be about Sabryn killing Ashley. I don’t pay my tax dollars to hear about this trannys trials and tribulations. My sister is dead; she was assassinated, being shot 8 times in front of police. I want justice damn it!”

Karim pulls Alexis back down as the judge pounds on her gavel.

“One more outburst from you Miss Jones and you will find your self behind bars.”

Ladonna

“She’s getting nervous.”

Alexis

“Don’t start Ladonna. I have Karim and you don’t It’s that simple. Now just leave us the hell alone. Stop stalking us.”

Karim

“She’s right Donna. Just please leave us alone.”

Ladonna, with a tear forming in her eye,

“You’re going to be so sorry Karim.”

Lisa

“Your honor, I have a method. This is all leading into my point. I am setting it up. Please indulge me.”

Hatchett

“I’ll allow it.”

Lisa

“Thank you ya honor.” Lisa now walks over to the jury.

Lisa

“Miss Rue, could you tell us about your relations with the deceased Ashley Jones?” Everyone in the court room leans closer, on the edge of their seats to hear what Miss Rue is about to say. No one is waiting more intently then Alexis and Ladonna.

Miss Rue

“I sure can. My relations with Ashley were not pleasant. Ashley kidnapped me and held me hostage. She held me hostage in a place where Mona was. Mona, Abe, and Sharon. It was terrible. It as something straight out of a Saw movie. Ashley kept talking about getting revenge on Sabryn and how she stalked her for months disguised as a lady in red. At the same time Mona was the lady in black. Ashley kept talking about winning Bryan. I even knew that Ashley stole Natalia’s baby, making Natalia believe that her child died when she was shot. Ashley is also the one who shot Natalia at the fashion show. You know the one where Jodie told the world she had HIV. Ashley is evil. Pure evil. Straight from hell. She even used a chain saw to sodomize me. The bitch was so insane she thought she was Jason Voorhees.”

Lisa

“Wow. It seems the state left all this information out. Ashley has a record of unstable behavior. Ashley was a demented criminal herself. A menace to society. Maybe it’s a good thing justice was served with her death.” The courtroom is outrage. Alexis burst into tears and Karim holds her.

Alexis

“Oh Karim. How can they just demonize my sister this way? She’s dead. She’s not her to defend herself. This is all so terrible.”

Karim

“It’s ok Lexie. I’m here for you.”

Ladonna

“Not for long.”

Lisa, walking over to Rue

“Can you tell us if Ashley was working alone? Was there anybody who was helping her?”

The courtroom is dead silent

Rue

“Yes.” Chatter erupts once more. Alexis’s mouth drops and she begins to sweat. Karim looks at Alexis and Ladonna can do nothing but smile out of enjoyment... The time has come.

Lisa

“Is the person who helped Ashley in this courtroom right now?” A pause is had. Alexis has a burning sensation in her stomach. Karim begins to get uncomfortable as he watches Alexis squirm. He begins to wonder if everything Ladonna has been telling him for months is true.

Rue

“Yes they are!”

Alexis and the courtroom are stunned. Alexis doesn’t know what to do. She is about to be exposed. She wants to stand up and stop the proceedings but she knows if she does it will be an admission of guilt and she’ll lose Karim for sure.

“This is not supposed to happen. This is not part of the deal I made with Rufus. He’s going to betray me. I am going down!” She thinks to herself.

Lisa

“Miss Rue can you identify the person who was helping Ashley? Who is the person that helped kidnapped you and also knew about Mona and all the crimes against the Williams family?” Sabryn, Mike, Bryan, Karim and Ladonna turn and look at Alexis.

Alexis

“Oh My God.!” She stands up and gives Rufus a look.

Rufus smiles at her

“It was her. Alexis Jones. She knew the whole time Ashley was alive and knew the goings on about Mona. It was Alexis Jones!”

Ladonna

“Alexis, has finally been exposed!”

Chloe is standing on the pier. She flashes back to making love to Daniel. Nicole walks onto the pier and walks to Chloe.

Nicole: Chloe?

Chloe looks at her and starts to walk away.

Nicole: Chloe, please. Wait.

Chloe: What do you want, Nicole? Are you here to tell me about how I’m a bad mother?

Nicole: Chloe, I just want to talk to you. I’m worried about you.

Chloe: About what?

Nicole: You! You wanted a baby so bad, and you finally got Parker, and-

Chloe: And what? I’m neglecting him?

Nicole: Chloe, that’s not what I meant!

Chloe: Do you not understand that I lost everything!

Nicole: You wanted a baby so bad Chloe. You didn’t loose everything! You have Parker!

Sami is standing at the bar in Chez Rouge, on the phone.

Sami: Carrie, I’m just waiting for the food. I’ll be home soon.

Rafe walks to the bar.

Sami: See you soon.

Rafe: So, that’s your home now?

Vivian watches them from her table.

Sami: Rafe, I really don’t want to do this right now.

Rafe: Are we ever going to talk, Sami?

Sami: I need time!

Rafe: How much time? What is going on with you? Your ignoring me, your doing nothing to get your kids back.

Sami looks offended.

Sami: How dare you!

Rafe: Sorry. I didn’t mean that the way it came out.

Sami: You have no idea what I’ve been doing, or how crazy it’s making me!

Rafe: Sami-

Sami: Get away from me.

Rafe leaves. Vivian gets up, and walks over to Sami.

Vivian: Hello, Samantha.

Sami: Oh God.

Jenifer, Shane, and Kim walk into the Horton house.

Jennifer: So, when are you guys going back to London?

Shane: I’m going to leave tomorrow.

Kim: What about me?

Shane: Just stay here, Kim. It’s safer for you, and I have no idea what we’re dealing with.

Jennifer: I’m coming. I need to help my cousin.

Shane: Jennifer-

Jennifer: Don’t give me a lecture. I’m not a little girl.

Kim: Same with me.

Shane looks at them, annoyed.

Billie unlocks the door to her apartment, and her and Bo walk in.

Billie: Do you want to call Hope?

Bo: I’ll call her later. How are you doing? With the accident and everything?

Billie: I’m good. My physical therapist told me I’m doing very well.

Bo: Good.

Billie: You want a drink?

Bo: Sure.

Billie walks into the kitchen, and Bo sits on the couch. Billie walks in with two drinks. She hands one to Bo.

Billie: Bo, look, I’m really sorry. I had no idea that was Hope.

Bo: It’s not your fault, Billie. I guess it’s better that I knew. I don’t even have a right to be upset.

Billie: Of course you have a right to be upset! Why wouldn’t you?

Bo: She signed the divorce papers, Billie. And I jumped into a relationship with Carly when we were still married.

Billie: Maybe Hope has finally moved on from you.

Bo: I guess so.

Billie puts her hand on Bo’s thigh.

Nicole and Chloe are standing on the pier.

Chloe: Who the hell are you to judge me, Nicole? You think you are set for life, don’t you?

Nicole: What are you talking about?

Chloe: You think you have EJ and Sami’s kids because EJ thought you were a good mother? Please! Even though he’s probably dead, this is still about Sami! He gave you the kids to drive Sami crazy!

Tears start to form in Nicole’s eyes.

Chloe: I hope you know it isn’t going to last long. Stefano will get you out of their lives. And even if he doesn’t, what do you think? Their going to love you? Their going to find out everything you did, and hate you, Nicole! How do you think Johnny already feels, being taken away from Sami, and being with you? How do you think Sydney feels when she finds out that you used her in your scheme just so you can hold on to a man?

Nicole looks hurt.

Chloe: Their going to resent you, Nicole. And you deserve it.

Nicole: I know your hurt Chloe-

Chloe: Leave me alone, Nicole! I’m no fan of Sami, but you are a monster for what your doing to her!

Nicole starts crying.

Chloe: Save the tears, Nicole!

Nicole: That might be true, Chloe. But what about what your doing? You’ve decided to ignore the child you wanted so badly, because your not in the perfect situation! Your not just hurting yourself here; your hurting Parker.

Nicole walks away.

Vivian and Sami are standing at the bar in the Chez Rouge.

Sami: Can I help you with something?

Vivian: How’s your mother? How’s John?

Sami: Great. What do you really want?

Vivian: I couldn’t help noticing your dilemma with Rate.

Sami: Rafe.

Vivian: Whatever. Anyway, I feel for you. I know what it’s like. Being used by a man. Being thrown away when something better comes along.

Sami: Vivian, I understand you might be bored with your life, but I’m not interested in being the source of your entertainment.

The waiter comes with Sami’s take-out.

Sami: Thank you.

Vivian: I have some information I would like to share with you.

Sami: Once again, not interested.

Sami walks away, as Vivian sighs.

Bo and Billie are sitting on the couch in Billie’s apartment.

Billie: Maybe you can still work it out with her.

Bo: I don’t know, Billie.

Bo puts his empty glass on the table.

Billie: Do you want me to get you another drink?

Bo: Sure.

Billie gets up, and goes into the kitchen. She smiles, as she pours his drink. She goes back into the living room, and spills the drink on his shirt.

Billie: Oh my God. Bo, I’m so sorry!

Bo laughs, and stands up.

Bo: It’s ok, don’t worry about it.

Billie: Let me try and clean it off.

She moves closer to him, and unbuttons his shirt. Bo looks at her, and she continues unbuttoning. She takes his shirt off, and they don’t move, and continue looking at each other.

Shane, Kim, and Jennifer are standing in the living room of the Horton house.

Jennifer: So, when do we leave?

Shane: Bo hasn’t called. There’s nothing to worry about right now. I’m going to call Hope, and see if she has any news.

Jennifer: Ok.

Shane leaves the living room.

Jennifer: So, how have you been?

Kim: I’ve been really good. How about you?

Jennifer: I’ve been better.

Kim: I’m sorry about asking about Jack before. I really had no idea.

Jennifer: Don’t worry about it.

Jennifer smiles at her.

Chloe walks into Chez Rouge. She bumps into Vivian.

Vivian: Oh, Chloe! It’s so good to see you!

Chloe: Stay the hell away from me.

Vivian: I get the feeling I did something to offend you.

Chloe: Offend me! It’s your fault my life has been completely ruined! All because of your need for revenge against Carly!

Vivian: So, then you should blame Carly! By the way, it looks like her and Daniel aren’t wasting any time.

Vivian points to a table. Chloe looks as Vivian laughs.

Vivian: See you later, darling.

Vivian leaves Chez Rouge.

Bo moves closer to Billie, and puts his hands around her waist. Billie puts his shirt on the floor, and he kisses her. He stops.

Bo: Sorry.

Billie: For what?

She kisses him, as he takes her shirt off. She takes his belt off, and pulls his pants down. Billie leads him to the bedroom, where he takes the rest of her clothes off. They go on the bed, and make out. Bo goes on top of Billie.

Billie: Are you sure you want to do this?

Bo: Are you?

Billie: Of course I am.

Bo kisses her.

Kim Hughes sighed.

It was 2:30 am and she was wide awake. Carefully she slipped out of bed so as not to wake her husband Bob who had been sleeping soundly beside her. She loved hearing the sounds of his snoring so gently.It gave her a sense that they had did the right thing.She missed Oakdale and the time change still needed little getting used to.

In the kitchen Kim put on a sauce pan to heat some milk. Sounds cliche' but warm milk did help her sleep.It had been almost six months since she and Bob had retired from their jobs,sold their home and relocated to Phoenix,Arizona. Gone were the 18 hour days of owning amd managing a television station for her and being Chief of staff of a regional hospital for him.

No she didn't miss the lomg hours, the urgent emergencies and the lack of sleep and rest. Oh she missed Oakkdale. She missed her friemds and loved ones. She didn't miss their constant troubles though. And Susan Stewart.She chuckled as she sipped the last of her milk. Yes,she had forgiven Susan and put the stuff she had done far in the recesses of her mind. But that woman and her daughters were the curse of the Hughes men!

She rinsed her cup and put it in the drainer and returned to the bedroom. She slipped in beside her peaceful sleeping husband and heard the sound of a train whistle in the distance. All was at peace. No worries,no troubles. No emergencies,no deadlines.Not a care in the world.

Little did she know that peaceful existence was going to come to an end real soon! Real soon!
