RECAP EPISODE OF ANOTHER WORLD

The takeover of Cory Publishing –

Rachel and Amanda hired Allen Lovett, who has been working with Reginald Love to force Rachel to sell Cory Publishing. It was also revealed that Iris, Rachel’s ex-stepdaughter, was masterminding the whole takeover from prison. As part of the plan, Reginald got Iris’s release hearing moved up quickly, so there was no time for Rachel and Cass to form a strategy. Rachel decided not to testify against Iris to keep her incarcerated, so Iris was released. Allen has been leaking information to Reginald about the sale of Cory Publishing. Rachel got wind of it and Allen was arrested for corporate espionage. Allen did not count on developing feelings for Amanda. Rachel has decided to sell due to declining financial standing and growing debt. Who will she sell it to?

Michele’s death

The McKinnons suffered a great loss when Michele McKinnon died as a result of injuries due to being struck by a car. Bridget, her twin sister, schemed against her to make her jealous. Bridget stole vodka out of Reginald’s cabinet, brought it to the prom, and spiked Cory’s drink. Bridget kissed Cory Hutchins and Michele saw them. As Vicky, Jake, and Reginald arrived, Bridget and Michele’s fight went on to the street, where Michele stumbled and was struck by an oncoming vehicle. After her heartfelt goodbye, Vicky has banished Bridget from the house, and this has caused a major rift between her and Jake. Will their marriage survive?

Grant’s shooting/Sharlene’s memories

Grant was shot while announcing his candidacy for Senate some years ago, and Sharlene saw the shooter. This same person also killed Joe Carlino, which brought Frankie Frame back to town. Frankie vows to find who killed Joe, who was a good friend of hers. Sharlene does not remember the person who committed the crimes, but her memories have slowly been returning, much to the dismay of Grant, John, and the perpetrator. Sharlene was seeing Dr. Taylor to help unlock these memories. Grant knows who shot him. He did to win sympathy votes. Reginald and Iris also know about Grant’s scheme, and the person who shot him. John and Grant implored Dr. Taylor not to allow Sharlene to uncover these memories. Apparently, neither did the perpetrator, because Dr. Taylor was found dead in his office. Toni Burrell returned to investigate his murder, and learned Sharlene’s notes and Dr. Taylor were both missing, and she deduced that Sharlene is in danger. They also learned the shell casing from the bullet that killed Dr. Taylor is the same from the day Grant was shot. Toni feared that the killer will come after Sharlene. Will the killer get to Sharlene?

Dante: The food’s good though isn’t it?

Elizabeth: Just like you.

They kiss.

Elizabeth: My boyfriend is taking me to an expensive restaurant.

Dante: Nothing but the best for my girl.

Elizabeth: Are you still thinking about joining the police academy?

Dante: Yep.

Elizabeth: Taking after your dad huh?

Dante: I think I kind of owe it to him to join law enforcement. Serve and protect.

Elizabeth: Like you did Bridget the other day.

Rachel: Just okay huh? Something must be on your mind.

Cory: How did you know?

Rachel stops sculpting, goes to her son, puts her arm around him, and they walk slowly to the couch.

Rachel: Because you’re my son. I know you. Now sit. Tell me what’s bothering you.

Cory: Something Iris said to me and Lizzie at the Center.

Rachel: I told you not to feed into anything she says. She hates this family.

BAY CITY CENTER

Dante: Now why did you bring her up?

Elizabeth: Because you defended her, and not me. I’m supposed to be your girl.

Dante: You weren’t being fair to her.

Elizabeth: Fair? So you think that her spiking my brother’s drink was fair?

Dante: She’s hurting. She lost her sister. What if Cory or my sister Remy died? Would you want someone to be so hard on you or me?

Elizabeth: Now who’s not being fair?

Dante: She’s grieving over her sister’s death.

Elizabeth: Bridget was trying to make her sister jealous.

Dante: And she’s sorry about it.

Elizabeth: She’s sorry that her sister’s dead partly because of her jealousy.

Dante: I didn’t want to even talk about Bridget but you brought her up. Is she coming between us?

Elizabeth: I dunno. Maybe she is.

Dante (getting up): Maybe you’re letting her.

He walks away and Elizabeth calls him to come back, but to no avail.

MONTGOMERY HOUSE

Donna sits on the couch and Tyrone brings her some tea and sips on his own, and he sits on the chair opposite the couch.

Donna: I just wanted to thank you.

Tyrone: For what?

Donna: Making my daughter happy. I just came from seeing Victoria, and she says she wants work things out with Jake. I’m so glad you’ve been there for Marley.

Tyrone: She’s been staying with Vicky, and I miss her, but I understand that she wants to be there for her sister.

Donna: Thanks to you, this is the happiest I’ve seen Marley. It warms my heart to know that my daughter is being taken care of by such a wonderful man.

Tyrone: Done with your tea?

Donna: Yes thank you.

As Donna is giving Tyrone the cup, she accidentally spills some on his shirt.

Donna: Oh! I'm So sorry. Let me get that.

Donna grabs a napkin and blots the stain, which is near an unbuttoned part of his shirt, exposing part of his hard chest. As Donna blots near this unbuttoned part, she blots slowly, and she and Tyrone make eye contact, as if they’re in a trance, then Tyrone’s cell phone rings, snapping them out of it.

Tyrone: I…I gotta….

Donna: Get that.

Tyrone (answering the cell phone): Tyrone Montgomery? Who is it? Okay…I’ll be right there.

Donna: What was that?

Tyrone: I’m going down to the station.

Donna: Is everything alright?

Tyrone: Apparently somebody wants me to represent them, but they won’t tell me who it is.

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

CORY LIVING ROOM

Rachel: Iris hated your father. You have to take what she says with a grain of salt.

Cory: But is it true? Dad tried to kill you and Mac didn’t he?

Rachel: Yes he did. He shot me, and kidnapped me. He made our lives a living hell at one time.

Cory: Then why did you marry him?

Rachel: People can change Cory.

Cory: Mom you married a man who tried to kill you and the guy who was your husband at the time. I don’t understand that. Was my father a monster?

Rachel: Honey, don’t you ever think that way about your father! He loved you, Elizabeth, and me, and he was sorry for what he did to Mac and me.

Cory: I..I guess mom. Love conquers all huh?

Rachel: Your father wasn’t perfect, neither was I, but we both love you and your sister, and we would never hurt you, and if he was here, he would tell you the same thing. Come here.

Rachel hugs Cory, but Cory is still not reassured about his father.

Vicky: If you came to be a downer, you can walk back out the door.

Donna: Victoria I hate seeing you like this. You and Jake love each other, and you need each other more than ever.

Vicky: I bet.

Vicky pauses for a moment and asks about Bridget.

Donna: She’s fine. She loves you and she misses you, just like you love her and miss her, too.

Rachel: There’s more to it than just the sale.

Amanda: Really? How could that be possible? You are spitting on my father’s grave by selling his company to the highest bidder. How can you possibly explain that away?

Rachel: Amanda if you will just calm down and let me tell you what I received yesterday.

Amanda: How could you betray my daddy like that?

Rachel: Amanda I called the police!

Amanda’s cell phone rings and she answers.

Jake has told Frankie about his investigation of Allen Lovett at Rachel’s behest…

Frankie: Wow. This Allen guy has got a lot going on.

Jake: You look preoccupied.

Frankie: I just found out that Emma isn’t my biological mother, and before she could tell me, she died.

Jake: Wow. Sorry about that.

Frankie: This job is all I’ve got. My daughter isn’t speaking to me, and Emma tells me I’m not her daughter.

Jake: She’s your mother in every way that counts.

Frankie: Of course she is. I’m always gonna think of her that way, but it still stings.

Jake: Well then you going with me to Pinehaven will be a great way to get your mind off of it.

Frankie: I should go and give Rachel a hug.

Jake: Rachel’s paying us handsomely. Good distraction from everything that’s happened.

Frankie: My heart goes out to you and Vicky. I can’t begin to imagine what it’s like to lose a child.

Jake: I’m probably gonna lose Vicky, too. She sent Bridget to live with Donna.

Frankie: I saw what happened at the memorial. Jake I’m so sorry. Vicky has to know that you’re hurting, too.

Jake: It doesn’t seem that way.

Frankie: I hope you two work it out.

DR TAYLOR’S OFFICE

Policemen and forensics officers are dusting and walking around the office, and TONI BURRELL walks up to one of the officers, looking around.

Officer: Lieutenant, this is weird.

Toni: True.

Officer: There’s no computer…

Toni: I don’t see any signs of struggle here.

Officer (giving her a baggy): We got this bullet casing. It appears Dr. Taylor was shot to death.

Toni: You keep looking here for anything else. I’m gonna bring it to the station for testing. This may give us a lead.

Officer: One more thing. We grabbed the psychotherapy files from all the patients. Sharlene Hudson’s file is the only one that doesn’t contain any notes.

Toni: Hmm so whoever killed Dr. Taylor took his computer and Sharlene’s notes. Why?

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

HUDSONS HOUSE

Paulina is with Sharlene.

Sharlene: I’m so sorry Paulina.

Paulina: No…no don’t apologize.

Sharlene: You’ve been searching for your husband’s killer, and I just…can’t put it together.

Paulina: You don’t need to try and force yourself.

Sharlene: This isn’t fair. It’s been years and nobody’s found the killer.

Paulina: I’m starting to think it was an inside job.

Sharlene: After all this time, why haven’t you started looking? Don’t you want your husband’s killer brought to justice?

Paulina: Of course I do, but I’m afraid for my son. If I started looking, I would put him in danger, and I can’t do that.

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

CORY MANSION

Rachel is having tea on the couch when Jake walks in…with a package.

Rachel: Jake? When did you get back?

Jake: Not too long ago.

Rachel: So…you must all your evidence in that box.

Jake: No actually, this was at the door.

Rachel: No return address. Who could this be from?

POLICE STATION

Toni is at her desk reviewing some evidence found at Dr. Taylor’s office, when a person from forensics walks in.

Person: Welcome back Lt. Burrell.

Toni: Good to be back. What have you got?

Person: We ran tests on the bullet casing found in the office. It matched.

Toni: Let me see the report. This is the unsolved case isn’t it? The same casings were found in the Bay City Center on the day that Joe Carlino was killed.

Person: And the day Grant was shot.

Toni: They’re all connected. The same person who shot Grant and killed Joe, also killed Dr. Taylor, stole his computer, and Sharlene’s psychotherapy notes. We have to catch this killer before they go after her.

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

Sharlene: I understand.

Paulina: Believe me, I want Joe’s killer to pay, but my son comes first. He’s all I got left and I’m not gonna lose him, but I have to admit that I feel a void inside. There’s no closure to what happened to my husband.

Sharlene: And the key to that is buried somewhere inside of me. I wish I could remember so everybody can move on with their lives.

Paulina: You can’t get frustrated. It’s just gonna have to come on its own.

John walks in and Sharlene goes to him.

Sharlene: John. I’m glad you’re back.

John: Are you okay?

Sharlene: I have to make an appointment with Dr. Taylor. I’ve GOT to remember something.

John: You can’t make an appointment with him.

Sharlene: Why not? I’m tired of not remembering what happened.

John: I think you need to sit down.

Sharlene (sitting down): You’re scaring me John.

John: Dr. Taylor was found dead in his office today.

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

Jake: I went to Genoa City, and I spoke to Ashley Abbott. She said that Allen took thousands of dollars from them, but they couldn’t prove it because the money was always replaced.

Rachel: So you think somebody’s helping him. Why would he steal money?

Jake (holding up the bill he found): This. He’s paying for someone’s care at Pinehaven Hospital.

Rachel (looking at the bill): Quite expensive.

Jake: I’m gonna…go there and see what else I can find.

Rachel: You’ve done so much already. You don’t have to do that. Send me your bill.

Jake: I’ve come this far Rachel. I think there’s more we need to find out. I’ll be in touch.

Jake leaves and Rachel becomes more curious about what’s in the box, and opens it…and is shocked by what she finds. “What? This can put Allen away.” She picks up the phone…

Rachel: Can you send an officer to the Cory Mansion please? I have something the police may find useful.

Sharlene: I saw his eyes. I’m so sorry. I…I didn’t see his face.

Sharlene begins to get upset.

Marley: Because it’s the reason your marriage is in trouble.

Vicky: Don’t remind me.

Marley: I will be here as long as you need me, but you really need Jake, and Bridget. They are your family.

Vicky: I’m not ready to let Bridget back in this house. I don’t want to see her scheming, and plotting.

Marley: She’s your DAUGHTER Vicky. She’s not some stranger. She made some mistakes, and I know deep down you love her, and the quicker you resolve things with her, the quicker your marriage will get back on track.

Vicky: Jake texted me.

Marley: He’s back?

Vicky: Yes, but he still hasn’t told me that he wants to come home.

Sharlene: Anything else?

Paulina: You said something about you ‘seeing his eyes’, that this guy killed my husband.

Sharlene: I said that?

Paulina: Yeah you did.

Sharlene: The last thing I remember was leaving the house, and going to the Center. The next thing I’m waking up here.

Grant: I would be honored.

They hug.

Dante: Look I’m…sorry about Lizzie.

Bridget: What are you apologizing for? It’s not your fault she’s a total bitch.

Dante: Hey. Come now she’s my girl.

Bridget: You want us to be friends? That’s not gonna happen after what I did to her brother at the prom.

Dante: You made a mistake. Everybody makes them right?

Bridget: Look I appreciate the gesture, but I am not gonna be a sitting duck for Elizabeth to throw barbs at. If she comes at me, I’m gonna come back at her.

Dante: Come on now. We all grew up together practically.

Bridget: Yes we did, and I was raised not to crap from anybody, and I’m not gonna take it from Lizzie anymore.

Paulina walks up to them.

Paulina: Hi Bridget.

Bridget: Hi Mrs. Carlino.

Paulina: They’re about to start Grant’s press conference.

Grant approaches it and begins his speech.

Grant: Good afternoon everyone. Thank you for attending my press conference. As you know, I have an affinity for Bay City and its residents. As a senator, I don’t have the hands on access that I would have otherwise…if I was mayor. Therefore, I am announcing that I will be running for Mayor of Bay City.

BAY CITY CENTER

People are walking around setting up a podium. The press is gathering. And Kirkland is walking around with a cup of coffee, looking around. He sees a KBAY reporter and a cameraman setting up as well. Someone bumps into him.

Kirkland: Oh excuse me…Charlie Winthrop? My my.

Charlie: Guess I could say the same thing.

Kirkland: You’ve grown up.

Charlie: I wasn’t gonna stay little forever.

HOSPITAL

blogentry-14971-0-33733800-1333476537_th

Frankie and Sharlene stand vigil over Emma Ordway’s bedside. She’s hooked up to tubes and a machine.

Emma: Sharlene? Mary Frances. I’ve been waiting to see you.

Sharlene: How are you feeling?

Emma: As well as can be expected I guess.

Frankie: I’m glad we made it.

Emma: Sharlene, may I speak to my daughter alone please?

Sharlene: Sure. I’ll be right outside.

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

BACKSTAGE AT BAY CITY CENTER

Rachel is preparing for her press conference, and Amanda is with her.

Amanda: You can change your mind you know?

Rachel: No I can’t right now.

Amanda: You’re making a big mistake mom!

Rachel: Amanda I cannot do this right now!

Amanda: Of course you can’t, because you’re betraying dad! You have let him down.

Rachel: Do you think this is easy for me to do? I’ve tried every possible option to save this company. This is the last resort. I am announcing the sale, and that is my FINAL decision!

CAMERA PAN ON RACHEL….FADE OUT TO THEME SONG

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

OUTSIDE EMMA’S ROOM

Sharlene (on the phone): Yeah we’re here. Emma’s not doing well at all. Of course honey. I love you.

From a short distance, the person who watched Sharlene come out of Dr. Taylor’s office is watching her now.

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

INSIDE EMMA’S ROOM

Frankie: Mom when the nurse called me, they sounded like it was important. Is this our final conversation.

Emma: Who knows honey? I just wanted to see my little girl…

Frankie (welling up): Of course mom.

Emma: How’s my granddaughter?

Frankie: She’s fine.

Emma: I know you two are not getting along.

Frankie: It’s my fault.

Emma: But it’s not too late to rectify that.

Frankie: I called her so I could bring her here, but she didn’t answer.

Emma: Grab your little girl, and tell her you love her, and don’t let her go. I don’t want to let you go either. I carried you for nine months. You will always be my daughter.

Frankie: Of course mom.

Emma: You don’t understand. I carried you, but you’re not my natural daughter.

Frankie: What? You’re right I don’t understand.

Emma: I carried her eggs inside of me, and I raised you because she couldn’t.

Emma becomes agitated.

Frankie: Mom just calm down. I’ll get the doctor…

Emma: No. You need to hear this. You need to know who your real mother is…

Frankie is amazed at Emma’s statement, but before Emma could say one more word, she flatlines. The doctors rush in and attempt to revive her, but are unsuccessful. Emma is dead.

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

AT BAY CITY CENTER…Kirkland and Charlie sit at a table as Charlie notices a missed call on her phone from Frankie…and erases it in disgust.

Kirkland: You look like you didn’t like the person calling you.

Charlie: Not right now I don’t.

Kirkland: Wow. Who is it may I ask?

Charlie: My mom.

Kirkland: Your mom? Wow. I thought you were always close.

Charlie: We used to be.

Kirkland: What happened?

Charlie: Long story. Now we’re like you and your dad. Unless you guys made up.

Kirkland: Now you know that may never happen.

Charlie: No matter how mad we are at our parents, they’re still our parents.

Kirkland: Well your mom didn’t move heaven and earth to take you from your father did she?

Charlie: Well your father never left you for a whole bunch of years either.

Kirkland: Wow, we got some pretty good grudges against our parents. You don’t like your mom, and I don’t like my dad.

Charlie: I guess so.

Kirkland: Isn’t that Mrs. Hutchins coming up to the podium?

Charlie: Sure looks like it.

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

AT THE PODIUM

Rachel walks up to it with members of the media in the audience, and speaks into the microphone.

Rachel: I would like to thank you all for coming out this afternoon on such short notice, but I have an important announcement to make.

Rachel takes a deep breath and she continues.

Rachel: This was a very, very difficult decision for me to make, but the circumstances have really left me no choice. I will not prolong it. I will make a swift, but informed decision. I am here to announce that Cory Publishing is officially on the market.

WINTHROPS HOUSE

Cass opens the door and Felicia walks in. They exchange hellos and greet each other with kisses.

Cass: You’re absolutely glowing.

Felicia: How could you tell?

Cass: I haven’t seen a grin like that since your wedding to Mitch…wait a second.

Felicia shows him her engagement ring.

Cass: Wow. Congratulations!

They hug and Felicia then asks him to give her away at her wedding, and he willingly agrees.

Felicia: Tell me what’s going on with you.

Cass: It’s not me I’m worried about. It’s Frankie and Charlie…and their strained relationship.

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

CORY HOUSE

Rachel is in the living room when Elizabeth walks in.

Rachel: Hi honey.

Elizabeth: I’m headed to the Center to meet Dante. We’re gonna go to the library to study.

Rachel: Is that right?

Elizabeth: Yes mom. Would it be anything else?

Rachel: I’m not sure.

Mitch walks in.

Elizabeth: Talk about uncertainty. Hi Mr. Blake. Bye mom.

Rachel: Mitch. Nice of you to stop by. Felicia told me about your wedding. Congratulations.

Mitch: Thank you. You look like the weight of the world is on your shoulders.

Rachel: That’s because it is.

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

BAY CITY CENTER

Bridget is on her cell phone.

Bridget: You’re on an assignment. Don’t worry I won’t tell mom. I haven’t even heard from her. I wish she would, too. Love you dad.

Bridget hangs up and looks up and sees Dante.

Dante: Hey. Anyone sitting here?

Bridget: No sit down.

Dante: How have you been?

Bridget: Good considering my sister died, and everybody except my dad and Aunt Marley holds me in responsible.

Dante: I saw what your mom said to you at the Memorial. That must suck.

Bridget: Gee thanks Dante. How are you and Elizabeth?

Dante: We’re good. We’re meeting here.

Bridget: Well I probably better go because she totally hates me.

Elizabeth walks up to them.

Elizabeth: Wow Bridget that’s the most sensible thing you’ve ever said.

Dante: Come on Lizzie don’t start.

Elizabeth: I can’t believe you’re even sitting at the same table with this lying, scheming bitch.

Dante: That’s enough alright!

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

Felicia: It must hurt you to see them at odds.

Cass: Especially when I have the fondest memories of us being a family.

Felicia: Frankie stayed away, and Charlie is understandably hurt by that, and I know you are, too.

Cass: They need each other. Charlie needs her mother, and Frankie needs her daughter.

Felicia: What do YOU need Cass? I know you still love Frankie.

Cass: I will always love her, but so much time has passed Felicia. I don’t know if a redux is in the cards. I just want her and Charlie to patch things up.

Felicia: If it’s any consolation, Lorna and I couldn’t be any closer, but it sure didn’t start off that way.

Cass: I know.

Felicia: Lorna was so angry at me for such a long time, but we made amends, and I’m sure that Frankie and Charlie will do the same.

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

Mitch: What’s going on?

Rachel: I’m gonna have to sell Cory Publishing.

Mitch: Whoa. Have you exhausted all options?

Rachel: Of course I have. I have done everything I can to save Mac’s company, and there’s just nothing else I can do right now. We had to buy out several contracts and it just put us in such a hole.

Mitch: Wow Rachel I’m so sorry. I know how much it meant to you. It’s like keeping Mac’s memory alive.

Rachel: Now I have to sell it or declare Chapter 11.

Mitch: My God. If there’s anything I can do.

Rachel: Enough about me and my troubles. You’ve got a wedding coming up.

Mitch: Yes. I…I came here because I wanted to know if you could…

Rachel: Call Matthew? I already have. He said he will not be able to make it.

Rachel’s cell phone rings.

Rachel: Hello? Okay. Thank you.

Mitch: Who was that?

Rachel: That was my publicist. I’m having a press conference this week.

Mitch: No.

Rachel: Yes. I’m announcing the sale of Cory Publishing.

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

Elizabeth: OMG are you really defending her right now?

Dante: She just buried her sister. Will you cut her some slack?

Elizabeth: Why should I? All she did was try to get my brother drunk at the prom and push her own sister in front of Gregory’s car.

Bridget jumps up and approaches Elizabeth.

Bridget: I didn’t push her!

Elizabeth: Really? You got what you wanted though. You got your sister out of the way so you can be the center of attention, but it didn’t work! Your own mother doesn’t want anything to do with you!

Bridget slaps Elizabeth, and Elizabeth slaps her back. The two begin fighting, and Dante separates them.

Dante: Get off of her Lizzie!

Dante turns to Bridget and asks if she’s okay, and Elizabeth can’t believe it.

Bridget: I’m not taking any more of your abuse Elizabeth! Game on!

Elizabeth: You stay away from Dante and my brother!

Dante: Lizzie I think you need to go.

Elizabeth: Wow Bridget. You got my brother and Dante coming to your rescue because your mother disowned you? Clever.

Dante asks Bridget if she’s gonna be alright. “Yes.” She says.

Dante: Let’s go Lizzie.

Bridget: Elizabeth Hutchins is not gonna push me around any more.

MCKINNONS HOUSE

Vicky opens the door, and Marley walks in...and Marley tenderly hugs her sister.

Marley: How can I help?

Vicky (crying): You being here is enough. I have nobody.

Marley: That’s not true. You have me.

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

LOVE MANSION

Bridget walks in and Donna quickly approaches her.

Donna: Where have you been?

Bridget: I got a ride home from school.

Donna: Maybe I need to have a driver waiting for you outside.

Bridget: Oh my God, are you gonna have people watching me now?

Donna: Apparently that’s what you need because you were supposed to be home an hour ago. I am not gonna have you walking in here whenever you feel like it.

Bridget: Then maybe I need to move out!

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

HUDSONS HOUSE

Frankie sits on the couch next to Sharlene.

Sharlene: Oh my God.

Frankie: I just found out myself. She wants me to come see her, and I want you to come with me.

Sharlene: Of course. I wanna see my sister.

Frankie: It sounded like she wants to tell me something.

Sharlene: She must be near the end.

Frankie: I knew she had been sick, but I didn’t even think that it might get worse…and now I think she wants to tell me something.

Sharlene: Let me get my purse. We gotta go.

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

Vicky: I’m sorry I…I didn’t mean it like that…

Marley: I understand. Jake and Bridget are not here.

Vicky: Jake went out of town.

Marley: At a time like this? Where did he go?

Vicky: I have no idea. He didn’t tell me, and he hasn’t even called.

Marley: I can’t imagine a reason why he wouldn’t.

Vicky: Because he can’t stand to be in the same room with me.

Marley: Could it have something to do with Bridget living at Donna’s?

Vicky (sarcastically): How did you guess?

Marley: You disowned her in front of everyone at Michele’s memorial.

Vicky: You don’t understand Marley. When I look at her, and know what she’s done, she reminds of me of me back then. It’s scary.

Marley: But don’t you think she’s grieving, too? When I…locked you in that basement, I never ever wanted you to die, and I don’t think Bridget wanted Michele to die either, despite what she had done previously.

Vicky: The situations don’t compare. I forgave you for that. Michele is not going to be able to forgive Bridget. Michele is dead.

Marley: And you sent her to live with Donna, and now Jake is gone.

Vicky: He said he will come back if I let Bridget back in.

Marley: You probably should do that…for the sake of your family. You and Jake have a great marriage. Don’t throw it away because of your pride. Your daughter and your husband need you…and you need them. Don’t let it tear you and Jake apart.

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

Donna: And where are you gonna go Bridget? Back home? Your Aunt Marley’s?

Bridget: You forgot about Grandpa Reginald.

Donna: Marley and my father do not have any room for you, and your mother doesn’t want you back home.

Bridget: Don’t remind me.

Donna: Bridget this is for your own good. I have to be tough with you.

Bridget: You’re doing this because you think I’m responsible for Michele’s death.

Donna: I’m doing this because I don’t want you to make the same mistakes that I and your mother made when we were your age.

Bridget: I’m going upstairs.

Donna (grabbing her arm, and eyes welling up): You wait. I want so much better for you, that’s why I’m tough on you now. You will understand it later.

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

John is with Sharlene in the living room.

John: I’m sorry about Emma.

Sharlene: It’s our chance to say goodbye to her. She’s been sick for a while.

John: Give Frankie my condolences.

Sharlene: She’s waiting for me in the car.

John kisses his wife. “Drive safely and call me when you get there.” He says. Sharlene leaves the house, and John takes out his cell phone, and calls Dr. Taylor.

John: It went well? Good? I can’t have her remembering anything. Thank you.

CORY PUBLISHING

Allen walks into Rachel’s office, and Rachel is sitting at her desk.

Allen: Hey I saw Amanda’s office cleaned out. What happened?

Rachel: I told her to take a leave of absence.

Allen: Why?

Rachel: I’m sorry but I do not have to explain my business decisions to you.

Allen: Amanda works her ass off, and you tell her to take a leave of absence. You are REALLY a control freak.

GENOA CITY, WISCONSIN…

Jake is sitting at a table in the Athletic Club when someone walks up to him.

blogentry-14971-0-20752700-1332984105_th

Jake: Hello. I’m glad you could make it.

Ashley: Jake McKinnon?

Jake: You must be the lovely Ashley Abbott.

Ashley Abbott sits down across from Jake, and she’s holding a file.

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

REGINALD’S SUITE

Iris walks in.

Iris: What’s the problem?

Reginald: You really should be more mindful of the company you keep.

Iris: So are you sending people to watch me now? Or are you sending one of your watchdogs?

Reginald: You’re joking, but I’m not, because if this ship starts to sink, you’re going down.

Iris: And that would be a trip for two, because you would be going with me.

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

Rachel: Excuse me?

Allen: I didn’t stutter.

Rachel: You know all this stuff with those writers being signed on, and then pulling out. I wonder if you know something about that…since you signed them on.

Allen: Are you accusing me of something Rachel?

Rachel: I’m just thinking out loud.

Allen: What you did to Amanda was a big mistake. She’s a smart business lady, and she knows what she’s doing, and you need to stop trying to run her life.

Rachel: You don’t tell me what to do Mr. Lovett, and you can show yourself out of my office.

Rachel gets a phone call, as Allen leaves, but he stops outside the door….

Rachel (on the phone): What? You can’t be serious! Oh no. We don’t have a choice. We’re gonna have to sell.

Allen has overheard Rachel and leaves.

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

Ashley: McCall.

Jake: Sorry…Mrs. McCall. You got what I want in that file?

Ashley: What’s in here can’t go beyond this table. This is confidential.

Jake: Of course not.

Ashley: As soon as you said Allen Lovett my ears perked up, but I don’t want to subject Jabot to any lawsuits by releasing this information, but I had your P.I. firm checked out by Paul Williams. You’re fine.

Jake: Well you’re not giving it to me. You’re taking that file back to the office.

Jake takes out his camera phone as Ashley slips him the file, as Jake started taking pictures.

Ashley (lowering her voice): When he worked in our finance department, money started going unaccounted for.

Jake: You didn’t bring any charges against him?

Ashley: The money was always miraculously replaced so we couldn’t prove anything.

Jake: Really? I mean how much was missing?

Ashley: Thousands and thousands of dollars.

Jake: Wow. He’s a slick one isn’t he?

Ashley: I’d say so.

Jake: He’s got to be stopped before he does this to someone else.

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

Reginald: Iris my dear, this is all your grand plan to take over your father’s company.

Iris: And you’re involved with Grant’s shooting.

Reginald: I didn’t shoot Grant.

Iris: You’re an accessory. You have just as much to lose as I do.

Someone knocks on the door. Reginald answers and Allen walks in. “Rachel is going to sell.” He says.

Reginald: Wow. You’ve outdone yourself haven’t you?

Iris’s cell phone rings. “I have to take this outside.” She says running out the door.

Allen: So?

Reginald: So what?

Allen: What about my mother?

Reginald: You’re not done yet Allen. I will have your mother released…when Cory Publishing is sold.

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

Iris (in a low voice): What the hell are you doing in Bay City? Sharlene Hudson is being taken care of. You don’t have to go around town following her! Don’t worry about Reginald. I will handle him. You’d better get out of town before you’re caught!

RACHEL’S OFFICE

Rachel is on the phone.

Rachel: What do you mean no? We have banked with you for a number of years and you can’t give us another line of credit? Nobody’s been more loyal than we have, and we’ve always paid back what we’ve borrowed.

Amanda walks in as Rachel continues her conversation.

Rachel: I will write a letter to your C.E.O. because this is ridiculous.

Amanda: You called? What’s wrong?

Rachel: That is the fifth bank I’ve called to see if we can borrow money. They won’t give us what we need.

Amanda: There’s got to be something.

Rachel: Maybe, but first I have something to tell you. I want you to take a leave of absence.

Amanda: No mom I won’t do that.

Rachel: Amanda, this isn’t a request.

HOSPITAL:

Gregory has wheeled himself into a room around with Lindsay close by.

Lindsay: Good session today.

Gregory: Yeah.

Lindsay: You okay?

Gregory: No. Not at all.

Lindsay: You’re making good progress.

Gregory: And what’s Michele doing huh? You heard what Vicky said. She was right. I am responsible for her daughter’s death.-

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

BAY CITY CENTER

Iris is on the phone…

Iris: Yeah I was released. Oh you saw it on the news. You know all I thought of were my grandchildren. I was hoping I could…well…speak to them. Oh they’re busy. Can I just say hello real quick? I…I understand. Tell them I love them, and I love you Dennis.

A deeply disappointed Iris goes and sits at the bar.

Iris: Scotch on the rocks please.

Grant, who is reeling from Paulina’s hesitancy to let him in, joins her. He looks at Iris, and says “Make it a double.”

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

Amanda: Look I understand that we’re going through a tough time---

Rachel: A tough time? We will go under if we don’t get some money, and we got in this situation because of your decision to approve those buyouts.

Amanda: How can you say that? Those writers were pulling out. Would you rather have gone to court over lawsuits? We would definitely have been wiped out. I had to make a decision!

Rachel: A decision that may cost us your father’s company.

Amanda: You’re telling me to take a leave has nothing to do with dad. It is all about your need to be in control.

Rachel: Someone needs to make sound decisions around here!

Amanda: Really mom! Your decision to marry a man who tried to kill my father and kidnap you wasn’t the BEST one you’ve ever made!

Rachel: Are we on that again? You really should let that go Amanda!

Amanda: It’s funny you mention about things being let go, because everything that you THINK you’re in control of…is falling apart!

Amanda storms out…

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

Lindsay: Greg I…I don’t know what to say.

Gregory: You don’t have to say anything. I saw Michele and her family gathered there at her memorial, it hit me. I realized what my steroid use had done. I killed someone.

Lindsay: Didn’t the police rule it an accident?

Gregory: I tried to get out of the way…but…but I couldn’t. I didn’t mean it.

Gregory starts shaking his head as if to be overcome with guilt, as he recounts the moments before the car he was driving struck Michele.

Gregory: I didn’t mean it! What have I done Lindsay? I’m a killer!

Gregory starts crying and Lindsay hugs him.

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

Iris and Grant have had a bit to drink at this point…

Iris: You know my own SON won’t let me speak to my grandchildren.

Grant: I can’t believe it.

Iris: I mean he wouldn’t even let me say HI to them. If it weren’t for me, Dennis wouldn’t be here.

Grant: And what does that mean to them when they grow up?

Iris: Nothing. They just get on their high horses and forget that you provided them with the best things in life when they couldn’t fend for themselves.

Grant: Well my son seems to have forgotten that, too. He can’t stand me either. He sides with his mother.

Iris: Vicky? I hear she’s been a tornado.

Grant: She always has been. She’s definitely made my life hell, but yet my son sides with her. And Paulina…

Iris: My half sister---

Grant: One of Mac’s bastard children…she can’t see a good thing when it’s right in front of her.

Iris: Oooh you’ve got the hots for her.

Grant: I have taken care of her and her son since Joe was killed, and she only thinks of me as a friend. Ingrate!

Iris: I’m surprised. Paulina used to like bad boys. There was Jake, and Ian Rain. Joe was a bit puzzling to me though.

Grant: Well I got bigger fish to fry.

Iris: So do I…here’s to…sharks instead of trout…

Grant: Big fish.

As the two glasses clink, Reginald watches them in the background.

Jake: Where do you suggest I stay Vicky?

Vicky: Here! With your wife?

Jake: And Bridget?

Vicky stays silent, staying steadfast in her refusal to let Bridget come home.

Jake: How can YOU do this to Bridget? I can’t stay in the same house with you!

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

Paulina (putting the flowers in a vase): These are so beautiful.

Grant: Only for you.

Paulina: Thank you.

Grant (pecking Paulina on the cheek): You’re welcome.

Paulina: So…what brings you by?

Grant: Well I didn’t come to see Dante.

Paulina: You like my house then?

Grant: Your house is pretty nice, but don’t you wanna…spend some time outside of it?

Paulina: However do you mean?

Grant: A nice dinner at Tops…a walk on the riverfront.

Paulina: Plenty of flowers huh?

Grant: Yes…plenty of those.

Grant kisses Paulina but she doesn’t return it. “I…I can’t.” she replies.

Grant: Not tonight.

Paulina: Not…in the near future. You’ve been a great friend, but I am not going out with you. I’m sorry.

Grant: Why not?

Paulina: I’m not ready Grant.

Grant: Is it Joe? When are you going to move on? Joe is dead!

Paulina: How dare you talk about my husband like that!?

Grant: I have done some unsavory things in my life, but so have you. Dammit I’m falling in love with you Paulina. I don’t know what else to do.

Grant storms out, and Paulina stops him.

Paulina: Grant don’t leave.

Grant: Why should I stay? You’ve made it clear how you feel.

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

Frankie: No unfortunately it didn’t.

Cass: She was really devastated.

Frankie: I saw that Cass, you don’t have to remind me.

Cass: I was, too.

Frankie: You shouldn’t be. You were happy with Lila and Jasmine. You moved on.

Cass: You let us think you were dead for years, and you just show back up in Bay City! How do you think I’m supposed to feel?

Frankie: I don’t know Cass. How was I supposed to feel when I saw you with another woman. We overcame so much. Kathleen coming back from the dead; Cecile and her lies….even a stalker. I come back to town and you had already moved on. Staying away was the RIGHT thing!

Cass: No it wasn’t. Especially not for Charlie.

Frankie: I realize that now, and I apologized to her.

Cass: What about me? You owe me one, too.

Frankie’s cell phone rings.

Frankie: Is that what you came here for? Charlie tells you that she got her feelings out, and now it’s your turn? Well you know what, I don’t need the aggravation.

Cass: I don’t care if you’re irritated. Charlie wasn’t the only you hurt by staying away.

Frankie (answering her cell phone): And you hurt me by moving on so quickly! Hello? Oh…Oh my God. Okay. I’ll be right there.

Cass: What happened? Is everything okay?

Frankie (concerned): It’s my mother. They said she wants to see me right away.

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

Vicky: That’s not fair.

Jake: Not fair? You’ve really lost touch with reality. How are we gonna work anything out if you don’t even want the only child we have left in the house?

Vicky: You’re still in denial about what Bridget is capable of.

Jake: I’m outta here!

Vicky: Have a nice trip! But you might not be welcome when you get back.

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

Jake (outside the door on his cell phone): Round trip to Genoa City, Wisconsin.

CORY MANSION

Rachel opens the door…

Rachel: Felicia! Come on in.

Felicia: How have you been?

Rachel: You don’t know the half of it my friend.

Felicia: That doesn’t sound good.

Rachel: It isn’t. Mac’s company is in big trouble, and I don’t know what else I can do to get us out.

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

LOVE MANSION

Bridget opens the door and gets a huge surprise…

Bridget: Cory? What are you doing here?

Cory: I had to come.

Bridget (puzzled): Um are you here to see my grandmother or something?

Cory: No…I came to see you.

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

DR. TAYLOR’S OFFICE

Sharlene lies on the couch, while Dr. Taylor sits across from her in his office chair.

Sharlene: I’m really nervous about this.

Dr. Taylor: You don’t have to be. There’s that doctor/patient confidentiality thing.

Sharlene: Yeah right. What if I remember something that could hurt someone else?

Dr. Taylor: We won’t know until we find out right? Just try to relax. We’ll get to the truth one way or the other. If anything does come out, you won’t even know. You’ll be under hypnosis.

Sharlene: I think…I’m ready.

Dr. Taylor: On the count of three, you’ll be completely under. One, two, three….

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

Felicia: What’s going on? Is there anything I can do? I know how much Cory Publishing meant to Mac and you.

Rachel: The whole world. I feel like I’ve failed him. I couldn’t keep his company afloat.

Felicia: I have some friends I could call.

Rachel: We can’t afford to take on any more writers. We can’t afford anything.

Felicia: My God you’re scaring me.

Rachel: I may have to sell Mac’s company.

Felicia: I’m so sorry.

Felicia hugs Rachel and Rachel feels the bottom of Felicia’s engagement ring on her back, and Rachel holds up Felicia’s left hand to see it.

Rachel: What’s this? Oh my goodness. No wonder you’re beaming.

Felicia: He asked me to marry him.

Rachel: That’s wonderful!

Felicia: You're one of my closest friends. I want you to be my maid of honor.

Rachel: Wow…maid of honor?

Felicia (confused): Yes…seems like you’re hedging a little bit.

Rachel: I’ve got so much going on, but I could use the distraction. I would NEVER refuse to do you a favor such as that. Of course I will.

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

Bridget: Me? I’m a very shocked.

Cory: I saw how your mother treated you at the memorial. I just…had to come see how you were doing.

Bridget: Oh so you feel sorry for me? You shouldn’t.

Cory: Nobody deserves what your mother said to you.

Bridget: I DO deserve it, after everything I’ve done. I mean, I got you drunk so I could make Michele jealous, and she died later. You should be angry with me. I can’t understand why you’re even here.

Cory: Despite everything that’s happened, you’re Michele’s sister, and she loved you. We all miss her.

Bridget: I have to live with this for the rest of my life. I would never want my own sister to die. I did some….things to her before the prom. I wanted what she had. She had brains, my parents’ favor, you.

Cory: You were jealous.

Bridget: Yeah that’s it, and my jealousy could destroy my family, and if YOU’RE not careful, my jealousy might destroy you, too.

Cory: Well I want you to know…you’re not alone.

Bridget: I have Donna, my dad, Aunt Marley, Tyrone.

Cory: Anyone your age?

Bridget: Not your sister. She hates me.

Cory: I don’t hate you.

Bridget: Even after what I’ve done?

Cory: I think Michele would want me to be here for you, and that’s what I plan to do.

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

Dr. Taylor: Sharlene? Can you tell me what else happened?

Sharlene: There were people everywhere. All eyes were on Grant. He was announcing his candidacy for the Senate. He wants to serve the people of Bay City, so he says. Wait a minute, who is that? What’s he doing with that? Oh my God! I can’t believe what he just did! Joe I’m not leaving!

Sharlene starts screaming and sweating. “Joe! No! He’s getting away! Is anyone gonna get him? Joe can’t die! Noooo! Paulina! Oh my head hurts! Dr. Taylor is making notes on his pad, but decides it’s time for her to wake up.

Dr. Taylor: Okay on the count of three I will snap my finger and you will come out of it. One, two, three.

Dr. Taylor snaps his finger, and Sharlene wakes up with sweat beading from her forehead.

Sharlene: Oh my God. I remembered something didn’t I?

Dr. Taylor (giving her a handkerchief): You did…you remembered something from when you were Sharly.

Sharlene (blotting her forehead): You mean to tell me I didn’t remember anything from the day Grant was shot?

Dr. Taylor: No I’m afraid you didn’t. You did mention something about headaches.

Sharlene: I remember seeing Grant, and then the next thing I know I’m waking up in the hospital. Everything in between is a blank.

Dr. Taylor (giving her pills): Take these. They should help in uncovering your memory of that day.

Sharlene: Thank you Dr. Taylor.

Dr. Taylor: Maybe next time we can try hypnosis again. I’m sorry it wasn’t successful this time.

After Sharlene leaves, Dr. Taylor says to himself that the placebos he gave her should keep her from remembering anything.

Sharlene leaves the office, and as she leaves, a shadowy figure walks up to Dr. Taylor’s office, then watches Sharlene leave.

MCKINNONS HOUSE

VICKY SITS IN THE LIVING ROOM WITH A BLANK STARE ON HER FACE, AND JAKE SURPRISES HER…

Vicky: What are you doing with that?

Jake: I'm taking Mary to the airport, and I’m moving out

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.

LOVE MANSION

DONNA, TYRONE, and MARLEY are in the LIVING ROOM…

DONNA: She was so young. It doesn’t even seem real.

MARLEY: I know. I can’t believe what Vicky said though. That’s more unreal.

TYRONE: She’s hurting. She’ll forgive Bridget.

MARLEY: From the way Vicky sounded, you never know. I’m gonna go over there and talk to her. Are you gonna be okay Donna?

TYRONE: I’ll stay with her.

MARLEY (kissing Tyrone): I’ll see you later hun.

MARLEY LEAVES WITHOUT HER CAR KEYS, WHICH ARE ON THE COUCH. EVERYONE IS UNAWARE. MARLEY WALKS OUT OF THE DOOR, AND ALLEN WATCHES HER FROM THE BUSHES, AND TURNS HIS ATTENTIONS BACK INSIDE, WHERE HE GETS A GOOD VIEW OF TYRONE AND DONNA.

DONNA: It seems that you and Marley are in a better place.

TYRONE: Yes I’d say so. We’re getting better. She seems to be getting better.

DONNA: That’s great. At least someone in my family is happy.

TYRONE: Where’s Bridget?

DONNA: Upstairs.

TYRONE: She’s living with you now huh?

DONNA: I’m doing this for Vicky, but I really think Bridget should be home.

TYRONE: After what Vicky said at the memorial, I think Bridget is the last person she wants to see.

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

VICKY: Are you serious?

JAKE (angrily): You embarrassed us at the memorial! It was supposed to be for Michele and you made it about your anger toward Bridget and Gregory!

VICKY: If she hadn’t schemed and connived, then Michele might still be here today!

JAKE: Bridget didn’t kill her!

VICKY: I had to bury my daughter today…because of my other daughter.

JAKE: Did you ever stop to think that I lost a child, too? I’m hurting, too. Do you even notice that? No Vick, you are a one woman wrecking crew, and your anger toward Bridget is gonna destroy this family.

VICKY: Did YOU ever stop to think that Bridget hasn’t taken any responsibility for what she’s done? She tried to get Cory Hutchins DRUNK at the prom! It doesn’t scare you what kind of person she’s turning into?

JAKE: What I’m more afraid of is how our family is crumbling.

VICKY: You’re talking about destroying our family, and YOU’RE the one walking out!

JAKE: I want you to call Bridget and move her back in here, and you take back everything you said about disowning her. If you do that, I won’t leave.

VICKY GIVES JAKE A BLANK STARE. “Right, just like I thought.” Jake says as he leaves with his suitcase.

BAY CITY CENTER

DANTE IS CLOSING A BOOK AND PACKING UP HIS KNAPSACK. WHEN HE GETS UP, IRIS APPROACHES.

IRIS: Hello.

DANTE: Can I help you…Iris?

IRIS: So you know who I am?

DANTE: Yeah you’re my aunt.

DANTE TRIES TO LEAVE BUT IRIS STOPS HIM…

IRIS: I wonder what your mother has said about me.

DANTE: Look I gotta go.

IRIS: No wait. Why don’t we sit? Get to know each other. After all, we ARE family.

DANTE: Look I know what you’re all about okay. I’m not gonna sit and have anything with you. I know you tried to have Cory and Elizabeth’s father killed, and you weren’t very nice to my mom when she came to Bay City, so I have nothing to say to you okay.

DANTE LEAVES IRIS STANDING IN HER PLACE.

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

DONNA: I’m so scared Tyrone. I hate seeing my family suffer like this.

TYRONE: I don’t think you should worry too much about it. Everybody’s gonna be fine.

DONNA: How can I not worry? Vicky’s hurting. My grandchild is dead. Vicky disowned her daughter in front of everyone. Everything is just spinning out of control.

DONNA BECOMES A BIT DISTRAUGHT AND TYRONE EMBRACES HER.

TYRONE: Everything’s gonna be okay. I promise you.

MEANWHILE, ALLEN IS OUTSIDE THE WINDOW, AND HE TAKES A PICTURE.

ALLEN: You’re giving yourself all the rope I need Ty…to hang your ass.

MARLEY WALKS IN AND SEES TYRONE AND DONNA EMBRACING.

MCKINNONS HOUSE

Jake opens the door and gets a big surprise.

Jake: Mary!

Mary: Come here.

Mary gives him a hug.

Mary: I'm so sorry. She was such a sweet girl. I'll never forget the summer that we kept them.

Jake (teary eyed): I'm gonna miss her.

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

CORYS HOUSE

Cory sits in the living room teary eyed when Rachel walks up to him.

Cory: How could we be saying goodbye to Michele? How could she be gone?

Rachel: I know honey. I asked those same questions when your father died.

Cory: It's not fair that Michele had to die.

Rachel (consoling her son): Life isn't fair honey, as you'll soon learn.

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

CARLINOS HOUSE

Dante opens the door.

Dante: Mr. Harrison.

Grant: Hey Dante. Is your mother around?

Paulina walks into the living room.

Paulina: Grant. I'm surprised to see you today.

Dante: I'm gonna go find my tie.

Paulina (watching Dante head upstairs): So are you gonna have us taken by limo?

Grant: That could be arranged. I was wondering if I could accompany you to the memorial.

Paulina: I...really don't think that would be a good idea. Given the bad blood between you and Vicky, you'd probably would be the last person she'd want to see.

Grant: Ouch. You know how to drive a stake through someone's heart don't you?

Paulina: I'm a vampire slayer.

Grant: I don’t disintegrate in the daytime.

Paulina: Well that’s good to know. Listen, please understand. You’ve been so wonderful to us, but you cannot accompany Dante and me to the memorial. I don’t think it’s a good idea.

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

AT THE CHURCH…IN THE FOYER…

Mary is walking out of the bathroom…and runs into Reginald.

Reginald: Marissa. You look beautiful as you always have.

Mary: Thank you. You look well also.

Reginald: I can’t believe we’re saying goodbye to Michele. She’s so young and had so much of her life yet to live.

Mary: Jake and Vicky are devastated.

Reginald: I loved her. I know you find that hard to believe after what I did to you. I had no right trying to keep you from your family.

Mary: Reginald, Michele was your great-granddaughter. What you did in the past has no bearing on the present. I have long forgiven you for what happened back then. Today’s about Michele, and Jake and Vicky.

Reginald (nodding): You’re right.

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

Inside all the guests are seated, and Jake is speaking…

Jake: I want to remember the good times. I should have known she’d be a brainiac. When she was little she tried to read Vicky’s romance novels. It’s like she knew what it was going to take to be successful. She got it. My daughter always studied. I can count on five hundred hands how many times Vicky and I would pick her up and drop her off at the library. She took her education seriously. I’m gonna miss my daughter.

Bridget now speaks…

Bridget: It’s funny how I was always the social butterfly, the outgoing one, the popular one. You think everyone would want to be like me, but the truth is, I wanted to be like my sister. She was so much more beautiful than I ever was, and she was my identical twin. Dad was right, she always was reading and studying. I mean she hardly ever wanted to play with my dolls.

After a couple of people speak, Vicky speaks…

Vicky: What more can I say about my baby? She had been accepted to Harvard and Columbia. That was one of the days I picked her up from the library. She wasn’t a complete nerd. She had a social life. She had a steady boyfriend, and she went to the prom…that’s the night…she was hit by that car.

Vicky steps down, and approaches Bridget.

Vicky: We won’t see Michele graduate from college, get a great job, meet a nice man, get married, have a baby…all because of you.

Jake (jumping up): Vicky---

Vicky: She will never experience the things that Bridget will get the chance to.

John and Sharlene wheel in Gregory...and Vicky turns her wrath toward him.

Vicky: And you were the driving the car that killed my daughter.

John: And he’s sorry about it.

Vicky: Sorry. SORRY! All the damn apologies in the world are not gonna bring my daughter back! I had to take her off life support…because of your son, and my other daughter Bridget!!!

Donna: Victoria!

Vicky slowly approaches with Jake attempting to shield Bridget…

Vicky (pointing at Bridget, who is crying): As of today, you are no longer my daughter.

Marley (quickly approaching Vicky): Vicky let’s go…now!

Vicky: You’re NOT my daughter any more Bridget!!!

All the guests are in shock, Bridget and Jake are embarrassed, and Marley escorts Vicky out of the church…

Cass opens the door...

Cass: Lindsay? Oh my goodness.

Lindsay: Hi Uncle Cass.

CORY PUBLISHING

Rachel is on the phone in her office looking on her computer when Amanda walks in.

Rachel: Oh my God.

Amanda: Mom what's wrong?

Rachel: The buyouts went through. We are in big big trouble.

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

REGINALD'S SUITE

Reginald sips on brandy, and Iris hangs up her cell phone.

Iris: It's done.

Reginald: So the buyouts went through?

Iris: Yes sir. I just checked all my accounts, and the money is there. You know what I feel like celebrating. Let's propose a toast.

Reginald: To what?

Iris: My daddy's company is on the fast track to being mine.

Meanwhile outside the door, Allen gets ready to knock on the door, but all he can think about his kiss and sex with Amanda, and knocks on the door. Reginald answers and Allen walks in.

Reginald: Allen what are you doing here?

Allen: You gotta call it off.

Reginald: If you're talking about our plan, well...

Iris: That train has long left the station.

Reginald: Interesting though...why the sudden change of heart?

Iris: You know what, I'm gonna give you two some privacy.

Reginald: Allen you have done so well. Our plan is working.

Allen: I don't want to be part of this anymore. I want out.

Reginald: Well that's just not possible.

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

Cass gives Lindsay a bottled water.

Cass: So when did you get in?

Lindsay: Oh a few days.

Cass: So after a few days you decided to come see your uncle?

Lindsay: It's the first chance I had. Come on.

Cass: Oh ok I'll let you pass this time.

Lindsay: I heard Charlie was back.

Cass: Yep your cousin's back in town.

Lindsay: How's she doing?

Cass: She's living with me, and working at Tops.

Lindsay: You know I'm working at the hospital doing physical therapy.

Cass: That's great.

Lindsay: I'm Greg Hudson's physical therapist.

Cass: Oh.

Lindsay: You didn't sound too enthused about it.

Cass: He was driving the car that struck and killed Michele McKinnon. Her memorial's tomorrow.

Lindsay: Oh my God. Wow.

Cass: Why don't you...come with Charlie and me?

Lindsay: Wow. I mean nobody knows me. I don't...

Cass: You must be working...

Lindsay: No I'm off tomorrow.

Cass: At least you get to know some folks in town.

Lindsay: I would probably do that at a social gathering, not a memorial.

Cass: I'm just lookin' out for you. Your mother would kill me if I didn't.

Lindsay: I don't care what she thinks.

Cass: How is Stacey?

Lindsay: I'm sure she's doing just fine.

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

Amanda: What do you mean?

Rachel: The buyouts were paid.

Amanda: And from the look on your face, we took a major hit.

Rachel: And I have no idea how we're going to recover the losses.

Amanda: We have before, and we will again.

Rachel: I don't know about this one Amanda. I've let your father down.

Amanda: Mom don't say that.

Rachel: It's true. This company can't survive the way it's going. Mac built this company from the ground up, and I can't keep it running. We might to consider...

Amanda: You can't mean...

Rachel: Cory Publishing may have to go up for sale.

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

Allen: I don't want anyone to get hurt.

Reginald: Have you developed a soft spot for Rachel?

Allen: Absolutely not. She's a controlling, overbearing bitch.

Reginald: Oh...so if it's not Rachel it's...Amanda. Don't tell me you've....

Allen: Can you call this thing off please?

Reginald: I had a feeling you would get unfocused.

Allen: Amanda's a good woman. She doesn't deserve to be hurt by this.

Reginald: I apologize, but collateral damage is a necessary evil. I strongly suggest you refocus...if you ever want to see your mother again.

Allen: My mother's getting better.

Reginald: You know what I can do, and as I said, you'd better focus on the goal, and turn off your feelings for Amanda.

TOPS

Mitch and Felicia have just been seated.

Felicia: We haven’t been here in a while.

Mitch: Because you didn’t ask.

Felicia: You know I love this place.

Mitch: Didn’t someone tell you about variety?

Felicia: This from the king of the set in his ways coalition.

Mitch: Are you saying that I’m an old man?

Felicia: Your words not mine.

Mitch: You love this old man don’t you?

Felicia: Hmmm I suppose so, as long as he comes home to me.

The waitress comes up to them.

Waitress: May I take your order?

Mitch: Two glasses of your best sparkling cider.

Felicia (recognizing the waitress): Charlie?

Charlie: Two glasses of cider coming right up.

LOVE MANSION

Bridget sits on the couch and thinking about her last encounter with Michele, and the subsequent accident that lead to her death.

Bridget: I’m so sorry Michele.

Someone puts his hand on her shoulder.

Bridget: Oh my God. Kirk?

Bridget jumps up and the siblings hug tightly.

Bridget: When did you get here?

Kirkland: Not too long ago.

Bridget: Did you see mom?

Kirkland: Yeah.

Bridget: She’s probably cursing me to the heavens isn’t she?

Kirkland: Mom told me about what happened before I got back to town.

Bridget: I’m sure she told you it was my fault right?

Kirkland: That’s what she thinks.

Bridget: She’s trying to turn everyone against me.

Kirkland: Nobody thinks that you wanted Michele to die.

Bridget: Yeah tell that to mom.

Kirkland: Deep down she doesn’t believe it either, but what did you do before she died?

Bridget: What do you mean?

Kirkland: Come on Bridget. Tell you big bro what happened?

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

BAY CITY CENTER

Iris approaches Cory and Elizabeth…

Iris: I…knew your father.

Cory (now becoming suspicious): How?

Iris: Well I don’t know where to begin with that story.

Elizabeth: Look lady are you trying to play some kind of game? Who are you? How do you know us?

Iris: I’m practically family.

Rachel walks up from behind Iris.

Rachel: You’re worse than a snake.

Elizabeth: Mom who is this woman?

Rachel: As close to the devil as you’re gonna get.

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

Felicia: Maybe she’s on break or something.

Mitch: I know you didn’t get along with her mother.

Felicia: Frankie and I have buried the hatchet. She told me that she forgave me the night that Fax Newman was trying to kill her.

Mitch: Have you spoken to Frankie since she’s been back?

Felicia: No. I wonder what I would say to her. Cass was hurt by her staying away.

Mitch: I’m sure she had her reasons.

Felicia: None we’re gonna get into right now.

Mitch (sipping his champagne): Good. Wow I forgot how good this champagne was.

Felicia (sipping hers): Yes sir.

Something notices something in the glass and takes it out.

Felicia: Oh….oh….

Mitch: You like it?

Felicia (smiling): It’s absolutely exquisite.

Mitch gets up, takes the ring gently, places it on Felicia’s ring finger, and gets down on one knee.

Mitch: I love you Felicia Gallant. I have always loved you. Will you marry me?

Felicia: Absolutely!

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

Kirkland: Wow.

Bridget: Wow what…so now you think I’m responsible like mom does.

Kirkland: No Bridget. What you did doesn’t make you responsible.

Bridget: Then what does it make me? I might as well have killed her. The last thing Michele said to me is that I was a bitch. She’s probably right.

Kirkland: You were jealous of her weren’t you?

Bridget: I wanted to be so much like her. I just…wasn’t. She got accepted to Harvard and Columbia, and I didn’t. She had beauty, brains. Cory Hutchins was her boyfriend. I didn’t have what she had.

Kirkland: So you had to have it?

Bridget: It’s not like that Kirk!

Kirkland: You stole vodka from Grandpa Reginald’s cabinet. You wanted Michele to catch you and Cory kissing. You gave him alcohol. He’s not even old enough to drink. Bridget you could’ve caused a lot more damage.

Bridget: Our sister’s dead because of me. Mom’s right.

Kirkland: No mom’s not right. What you did doesn’t make you a bad person, but it was atrocious.

Bridget: And mom doesn’t even wanna talk to me. She sent me to live here.

Kirkland: Don’t worry about mom. I’ll work on her. She’ll come around.

Bridget: In the meantime, I have to stay in this military camp with Donna.

Kirkland: Come here kid.

Kirkland embraces his sister.

Kirkland: I’m always gonna love you, so does Steven, so does Jake, mom, Donna, Aunt Marley. We all care about you. You’re always gonna be my little sister.

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

Iris: Rachel you’re so mean.

Rachel: I’m so right. Kids, this is Iris.

Elizabeth: Oh you told us about her.

Iris: Your version of the story right?

Cory: You tried to have my dad killed.

Iris: Is that what you told them?

Rachel: It’s the truth.

Iris: Wow did you tell them what their dear father did?

Rachel: You leave my kids alone!

Iris: Not until they know what Carl did. Did she tell you that he tried to kill Rachel and my father….more than once! He stopped at nothing to destroy my father’s family. Then she married him! How stupid are you?

Rachel: Kids can you go to the coffee shop? I got something to say to Iris.

The children leave and Rachel faces Iris.

Rachel: You vile, devilish woman.

Iris: How did I know you’d leave that out?

Rachel: I’m gonna say this once. If you come near my family again, you will wish you had stayed in jail, because I will come after you, and if I do, you won’t get another chance to hurt anyone else again.

Iris: Another threat Rachel? I’m not afraid of you.

Rachel: Now you’ve messed with my children. You better get afraid.

P.I. FIRM

Frankie is at her desk and she gets a visitor...

Frankie: Charlie?

Charlie: The one and only.

Frankie: Wow I'm surprised to see you after the way we left things downstairs. Did Cass encourage you to come here?

Charlie: Sort of. Do you mind if we...go downstairs to get a latte or something?

Frankie (smiling): I'd love that.

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

MCKINNONS HOUSE

Jake: So...the memorial's tomorrow?

Vicky: Yep. I told Donna and Marley.

Jake: What about Bridget?

Vicky: Jake, can we not go there right now? It's hard to try and prepare for this without thinking about Bridget.

Jake: How are we gonna say goodbye to Michele, when we can't even agree on the daughter we still have.

Vicky: Because you're in denial about what she's done.

Jake: How long are you gonna hold it against her? She's hurting, too.

Vicky: You haven't listened to a word I've said about this whole thing. Bridget did some questionable things before Michele's accident.

Jake: And so did you. Have you forgotten what you were back then?

Vicky: Oh you wanna rehash the past Jake! Weren't you a wannabe playboy who slept with my mother, shot by Paulina, and raped my sister when she turned your marriage proposal down!?

Jake (building with anger): I'm gonna leave before I say something I regret.

DR. BENJAMIN TAYLOR'S OFFICEblogentry-14971-0-61109800-1331863039_th

Benjamin: Sure Sharlene...we'll see you tomorrow at 2.

Dr. Taylor hangs up and looks up....at Grant.

Benjamin: She wants me to try hypnosis.

Grant: Let her try, you make sure that she doesn't remember anything about that day I was shot.

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

BAY CITY CENTER

Frankie and Charlie sit and sip coffee.

Frankie: So how have you been? What's going on with you?

Charlie: You know mom I'm not gonna fake it. It was hard enough to come and see you. We haven't talked in a long time.

Frankie: I know and it's my fault.

Charlie: Understatement of the year.

Frankie (sighing): I guess there's no way I can make you understand why I stayed away.

Charlie: I probably won't be able to put that together, but can you tell me why. Was it me? Was it something I did?

Frankie: No...honey of course not. You could never make me stay away.

Charlie: Then why did you let us think that you were dead?

Frankie: I saw you, your father and Lila, and you all had moved on and I didn't want to interfere.

Charlie: I loved Lila, and Jasmine is like a little sister to me, but she is not my mother. I wanted my mother back. Dad and Lila had to console me a lot of nights, because I was missing you.

Frankie (eyes welling up): My God. I'm so sorry. I had no idea.

Charlie: Dad missed you, too. You, dad and me were a family, and you decided you didn't want one.

Frankie: Charlie it's not like that.

Charlie: Well yeah it is mom. Your selfishness hurt dad and me, and you don't even see it. Staying away was not best for us, as you seem to think it was.

Frankie: I love you. I just wanted my little girl and your father to be happy.

Charlie: I'm not a little girl anymore.

Frankie: You're all grown up. You're so beautiful.

Charlie: And a failure. I flunked out of school mom. That's why I'm back in Bay City...living with dad.

Frankie: Oh baby. Is there anything that I can do to help you?

Charlie gets up.

Charlie: I don't know mom. I really don't know how to answer that right now.

Frankie: If you ever need me, I'm here. I'm not going anywhere.

Charlie: Sure mom. I've heard that before.

Charlie leaves and Frankie is hurt at the level in which she hurt her daughter.

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

P.I. FIRM

Frankie sits at her desk thinking about the way her conversation with Charlie turned out, and her well eyes well up.

Frankie: Oh my little girl. I had no idea how much pain I've caused.

Jake walks in and notices Frankie wiping her eyes quickly, but it's too late.

Jake: Frankie? Have you been crying?

Frankie: No...allergies. I'm gonna have to get a cleaner for the carpets.

Jake: What's wrong?

Frankie (eyes welling up again): I've been a terrible mother.

Jake: Why are you saying that? Of course you're not a bad mother.

Frankie: I just met with Charlie. I had no idea how much I've hurt her. I don't know if she'll ever forgive me.

Jake: Well at least you still have a chance to make it right with your daughter. One of my daughters is gone, my other daughter is living with her grandmother because her mother doesn't want her around. Did you get all that?

Frankie: Oh my goodness. Here I am moping about Charlie, and you're dealing with Michele's death. I'm so sorry.

Jake: And things are getting strained between Vicky and me.

Frankie: They say a loss of a child can test a marriage.

Jake: We've never been tested like this before. I'm wondering if we're gonna make it.

Frankie: If you want to make it, then you will. If anyone deserves happiness, it's you and Vicky.

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

Benjamin: I'll do what I can but I can't make any guarantees.

Grant: Well you better try. Your career depends on it.

Benjamin: As you've said before.

Grant: You just make sure Sharlene doesn't remember one single detail about that day, because I have a lot of pull, and it will be very very hard for you to get a job as a trash collector. You'll be living on the streets.

Grant turns around and gets a shock.

Grant: John? How long have you been standing there?

John: I was hoping you were getting the help you so desperately need but I'm disappointed again.

Grant: I was just leaving.

John: Come on Grant, where are you running to so fast? I heard enough..

Grant: Whatever you thought you heard, it's not what you think.

John: Oh come on...I'm not stupid. I heard you telling Dr. Taylor here to make sure he helps suppress my wife's memories...and I'm in.

Grant: Come again?

John: Dr. Taylor, I don't want my wife to remember either. I'm afraid of what's going to happen to her.

Grant: You're afraid of her D.I.D. resurfacing.

John: If she remembers what happened, a lot of people could be hurt, most of all...her.

MCKINNONS HOUSE

Vicky is on the phone in the living room...

Vicky: Okay...Everything's set? Thank you.

Vicky sees someone coming out of the kitchen.

Vicky: Michele? Is that you?

Michele: Hi mom.

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

MONTGOMERY HOUSE

Tyrone sits on the couch and Marley comes out with a plate and two cups.

Marley: Do you want something to drink?

Tyrone: Some liquor would be nice.

Marley: I was thinking more along the lines of tea.

Tyrone: Thank you baby. I'm sorry.

Marley (giving him a cup of tea): I figured you would need some.

Tyrone: We're both gonna need something more comforting than tea pretty soon.

Marley: I know. Jake and Vicky are making the final arrangements for Michele's memorial.

Tyrone: Gotta be hard for you losing your niece.

Marley: Harder for them to lose a child. I just hope that I can support them.

Tyrone: We both will.

Marley: Something to take your mind off that hearing.

Tyrone: I feel weird about...representing Iris. Getting her out of prison. Rachel didn't even put up a fight in the courtroom.

Marley: There's a method to her madness I'm sure.

Tyrone: Given what Iris has done to the Corys in the past, she's the one who's going to be causing all the madness.

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

BAY CITY CENTER

Dante brings Elizabeth a snack.

Elizabeth: Good thing the center has a roof.

Dante: We'd be all wet if it didn't. What time is your brother getting here?

Elizabeth: He just texted. He said he's on his way. That for me?

Dante: Fries? Yeah that's for you. Definitely not for me.

Elizabeth: Why? You're trying to keep your abs in tact so you can join the police academy?

Dante: You got it. Are you trying to tell me you don't want to date an officer?

Elizabeth: It's different between me and you.

Dante: Is that right?

Elizabeth: Yeah. I remember you when you were sliding down the slide, and you didn't anyone else to use it. It was your slide.

Dante: I was selfish back then, huh?

Elizabeth: Yeah you were.

Dante: You weren't an angel either. I remember when your cook was baking a cake and we got a hold of the bowl.

Elizabeth: Yeah yeah I got chocolate all over my face. I remember.

Dante: Oh the memories.

Elizabeth: Oh...the memories.

They kiss as Iris watches them from a close distance.

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

Vicky: Michele oh my God. I've missed you.

Michele: How so? I've been here the whole time.

Vicky: Your father and I took you off life support the other day. I just got off the phone with the funeral director. Your memorial is in a couple of days.

Michele: Well I'm glad you guys took me off that machine.

Vicky: I am so proud of what you'd become. A beautiful, intelligent, wise young lady.

Michele: All thanks to you and dad. You raised me.

Vicky: We also raised Bridget. She's responsible for this.

Michele: No she's not mom. You can't blame her for what happened to me. It was an accident.

Vicky: She was so jealous of you.

Michele: I know, but she's sad, too. She never would kill me.

Vicky: I know she didn't kill you, but it's the things that she did before that.

Michele: I forgive her. I loved my twin sister with all my heart, and I know you do, too. You can't keep shutting her out mom.

Vicky: I'm not shutting Bridget out. I can't stand to look at her. If it weren't for her scheming, you'd probably be on your way to Columbia in the fall.

Michele: I was leaning toward Harvard, but I'm in a much better place now. I gotta go now.

Vicky (beginning to cry): No! Don't leave me here! Talk to me!

Michele: I love you mom.

Vicky: No! No!

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

Marley: I can't say that I agree with what you did.

Tyrone: It's gotten me one step closer to becoming D.A.

Marley: I know that's what you've wanted.

Tyrone: Why does it have to cost so much?

Marley: You did your job.

Tyrone: I did my job for a promise.

Marley: What do you mean?

Tyrone: Grant promised he would appoint me D.A. when he runs for mayor.

Marley: No wonder you feel guilty. You practically made a deal with the devil.

Tyrone: My representation let Iris out of jail. There's no telling the havoc she's gonna wreak, and it will be on my head.

Marley: Now stop it. You cannot blame yourself for Iris's actions. Whatever bad things she does, she will pay for.

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

Dante: Hey I'm gonna head to the library.

Elizabeth: I wonder where Cory is.

Dante: Looks like he's coming now.

Cory (approaching the table): Hey Dante.

Dante: What's going on Cory? I was just leaving. Lizzie text me.

Elizabeth (watching Dante leave): He's so cool. He's grown up to be a real cool guy.

Cory: Yeah definitely.

Elizabeth: So you said this was important...why here? I could've come home.

Cory: Mom wanted to meet us both. She said she was gonna be down here.

Elizabeth: She never asks to meet us here.

Cory: Must be serious.

Iris walks up to them.

Iris: Hi.

Elizabeth: Hello? Can we help you?

Iris: You must be Elizabeth, and you're Cory.

Cory: How do you know us?

Iris: Well it's finally good to meet you both.

Elizabeth: And you are?

JAKE is sitting at his desk with his feet up on his desk thinking about his arguments with Vicky.

Jake: Sure could use a distraction.

RACHEL WALKS IN...

Rachel: Jake I'm surprised to find you here. I'm so sorry about Michele.

Jake: Thank you.

Rachel: Why aren't you home with Vicky?

Jake: Long story. Don't care to get into it right now.

Rachel: I understand.

Jake: I know you didn't come here to give your condolences.

Rachel: Right. Maybe I should come back and give this file to Frankie.

Jake: No I'll take it.

Rachel: I could use your help with this.

Jake (looking at the file): Allen Lovett?

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

ALLEN'S HOTEL ROOM

ALLEN wakes up and sees AMANDA sitting at the desk.

Allen: What you doin over there?

Amanda: We shouldn't have done this. We crossed the line.

Allen: We crossed the line the other day when we kissed in your office.

Amanda: I'm the C.O.O. of Cory Publishing. I just slept with the Marketing Director.

Allen: You're quite perceptive, but not perceptive enough.

Amanda: This is wrong.

Allen: Why are you so conflicted?

Amanda: My mother was right.

Allen: Your mother your mother your mother. When are you gonna stop wondering what Rachel thinks, and start living your own life.

Allen gets up, walks over to the desk, and massages her shoulders.

Allen: If this is so wrong Amanda, why did you come over here? You didn't say a word to me when you arrived here. You went straight for the jugular.

Amanda: She stripped all my power from me at the company. I have to run everything by her now.

Allen: She makes you feel restricted doesn't she?

Amanda: Yes. I'm fully capable of making sound decisions at Cory.

Allen (whispering in Amanda's ear): I make you feel alive...important...wanted.

Amanda (giving in): Yes...

Allen: Because you're beautiful, intelligent...sexy....

They kiss passionately....

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

REGINALD'S SUITE

Reginald dons a robe and a glass of wine, while a fully dressed Iris is applying makeup.

Reginald: Been a long time since I had some good sex.

Iris: Well I've been locked up in prison. What's your excuse?

Reginald: No suitable mates in Bay City.

Iris: You mean you haven't tried to make a pass at my wicked stepmother?

Reginald: Now you're really joking right?

Iris: This is no laughing matter. I'm sorry about Michele.

Reginald: I adored her. I adore all of my great grandchildren. I guess it's something I can get right.

Iris: I know how that is. Dennis is not allowing me to speak to any of my grandkids.

Reginald: That's unfortunate.

Iris: Well I can't focus on that right now. My focus is getting my birthright....my father's company.

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

Rachel: We hired him as Marketing Director at Cory Publishing.

Jake: I thought you would've done a background check before you hired him.

Rachel: And everything came back clean.

Jake: I get the feeling this is more than a simple reference verification.

Rachel: Yes it is. I want you to look into his past.

Jake: May I ask why?

Rachel: Strange things have been happening at the company since we hired him, and we are in danger, so much so that we might have to sell.

Jake: And you think this guy's behind it?

Rachel: My gut tells that there's something fishy about him. That's where you come in.

Jake: Raich I gotta tell ya. Maybe you're overreacting just a little. He could be just a bad hire.

Rachel: I had to take Amanda's power back. I thought making her C.O.O. would take her mind off of losing Cameron, and Alli being away.

Jake: So you think he's taking advantage of her in some way.

Rachel: He using her to get what he wants, and I need you to help me find out what that is, so I can stop him.

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

ALLEN AND AMANDA lie in bed together.

Amanda: I was conflicted earlier.

Allen: About what?

Amanda: I haven't felt this good since when I first met Cameron.

Allen: Nobody deserves it more than you. You shouldn't be confined to a box and being told what to do. You are perfectly capable of making sound decisions.

Amanda: My mother doesn't think so apparently.

Allen: Look, I know she's your mother, but you are a grown woman. You cannot base your actions by what she says and thinks.

Amanda: I have a confession to make.

Allen: What's that pretty?

Amanda: You do make me feel alive...and wanted...and important.

Allen: And I like making you feel that way.

Allen straddles Amanda's hair....

Allen: Cameron's a fool to give you up, and your mother doesn't appreciate all the gifts you bring to the table.

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

Reginald (sipping wine): Rachel consumes your every thought and action.

Iris: Now that's not entirely true. I mean just about an hour ago, I wasn't thinking of Rachel at all. That would've been kind of gross.

Reginald: Sure. Our whole alliance is based on your plot to take Cory Publishing from her.

Iris: Well now now Reg, you have just as much at stake, if not more.

Reginald: Is that right?

Iris: Yes it sure is.

Reginald: If it weren't for me, you'd still be rotting in a jail cell

Iris: Getting that hearing date to be moved up so fast was truly a stroke of genius. I was even surprised at how quickly it came about. I suppose I owe you a debt of gratitude.

Reginald: Oh you're going to repay me.

Iris: Or should it be Grant that I repay?

Reginald: Because he called those favors in to the Illinois and Texas governors. I suppose.

Iris: I know you that you twisted his arm.

Reginald: Because I know things he doesn't want to get out.

Iris: About his son? Oh come on, I know that's not the only thing you have on the Senator.

Reginald: And what would that be?

Iris: Oh do you really want me to go over it?

Reginald: You don't know anything.

Iris: Oh but I do. I know that you know...who shot Grant the day of his acceptance speech...and Grant knows, too. You're an accessory to attempted murder.

Reginald: Wow you have a vivid imagination.

Iris: I'm making this up huh? Let's see how much more creative I can get, but I'll let you see if you'll tell me. Does Joe Carlino ring a bell?

Reginald's facial expression becomes blank and concerned as Iris continues to spill...

Iris: Oh I got your attention now. Joe Carlino was not shot while protecting Grant. He was murdered....in cold blood...right out there in front of everyone. How come nobody has solved that mystery yet? Oh I forgot, you've got the B.C.P.D. in your pocket.

Reginald: I had nothing to do with Joe's murder. Whoever killed him did it on their own volition.

Iris: My poor half sister and nephew are without a husband and father. I got a question for you though, why would Grant get himself shot again? He must enjoy having bullet wounds.

Reginald: Votes. Regular votes, and sympathy votes. He would stop at nothing to get that Senate seat.

Iris: And you agreed to help him. How sweet of you.

Iris gets up, grabs her jacket, and heads for the door.

Iris: I don't think I want to know how, but I have an idea.

Reginald: You just worry your pretty little head about doing your part after you get control of Cory Publishing.

Iris: You're awfully confident that you're gonna wrest that thing from Rachel. For your sake, you'd better. And when I get that control of my father's company, I will do fulfill my end of the bargain.

Reginald: Making sure that the person who shot Grant...never talks.

Sharlene walks in while Frankie is at her desk looking at the junk mail picture of St. Croix wondering why she got such a reaction to it.

Frankie: Aunt Sharlene.

Sharlene: Thanks for seeing me.

Sharlene: He's gonna start his physical therapy soon.

Frankie: Well that's good right?

Sharlene: Yeah it's progress. He's itching to start.

Lindsay walks into Greg's room with a wheelchair and approaches Greg.

Greg: Oh God thank you. I'm ready to get started.

Lindsay: When Dr. Hudson clears you, we can start.

Greg: That's my dad.

Greg: What are you doing with that? Are you gonna wheel me around the hospital?

Lindsay: No. You are.

BAY CITY CENTER

Grant is having lunch with Paulina, as they sit across from one another at a table.

Paulina: This is delicious.

Grant: I'm glad you like it.

Paulina: I won't eat too much, or you're gonna have me hooked on diet pills again.

Grant: Paulina don't remind me of that. I'm ashamed of what I had done to you.

Paulina: I'm just making a joke. The past is in the past. Dante and I thank you for what you did for him.

Grant: Of course, I also do it for you. I love seeing the smile on your face.

Paulina: You've changed. You're not the same Grant we used to know.

Grant: And hate.

Paulina: I love this one. I love you.

Paulina leans in and they kiss...and is unexpectedly stopped.

Kirkland: Oh my God. Paulina tell me you haven't fallen for this.

Frankie: He's gonna get tired of lying in that bed.

Sharlene: He wants to play football.

Frankie: Well that's something that he's always wanted to do right?

Sharlene: Yeah.

Frankie: So what brings you by? What did you want to see me about?

Sharlene: I've been having more memories.

Frankie: About the day of Grant's acceptance speech.

Sharlene: I was in the hospital. I saw Grant being wheeled in on a gurney, and Paulina crying.

Frankie: Joe was also killed.

Sharlene: Do you know if they police have any leads on the shooter?

Frankie: No unfortunately they don't.

Sharlene: It's been four years. You would think with today's technology that they would have found the person who did it.

Frankie: Sometimes these things go cold.

Sharlene: I'm remembering little by little...more and more. John said he is afraid of what will come out when I remember everything.

Frankie: Have you ever thought about hypnosis?

Sharlene: I have.

Frankie: Maybe you can uncover what your subconscious is blocking out.

Sharlene: I'm afraid, too Frankie. How many people will get hurt by what I remember?

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

Greg: What are you talking about wheelchair? I'm gonna walk.

Lindsay: In the meantime how will you get around?

Greg: I'll...crawl?

Lindsay: No...I don't think you want to do that.

Greg: Well that means you'll have to help me up.

Lindsay: I don't have to do anything.

Greg: You're my therapist.

Lindsay: I'm here to help you get well and function, and hopefully walk again.

Greg: Hopefully?

Lindsay: I'm not gonna sugar coat it. There's a chance that you won't be able to walk, and I'm not here to stroke your ego or baby you. Follow my instructions, and you'll give yourself the best chance.

Paulina: Kirkland! Oh my goodness!!! I'm sorry about Michele.

Paulina embraces him.

Kirkland: I'm great Paulina. I'm worried about you...and my dad?

Paulina: I'm gonna go back to the coffee shop to get some lattes.

Paulina walks away and Kirkland faces his father.

Grant: I'm sorry about your sister. I'm sure that's why you're here.

Kirkland: Sure you are dad.

Grant: Kirkland when are you gonna stop being hostile toward me. I'm your father.

Kirkland: Sometimes I wish it was Ryan.

Grant: Don't say that.

Kirkland: I just don't trust you after everything you've done to mom, and I bet you're manipulating Paulina.

Grant: I love Paulina.

Kirkland: That's funny dad. Right after Joe Carlino was killed, you swoop right in and act like Paulina's hero.

Grant: I've changed.

Kirkland: You change as often as leopard spots.

Grant: Paulina has changed me. She loves me, too. Is that so hard to believe?

Kirkland: I feel sorry for her. Your love is poison. Look at your victims. Mom, Cindy.

Grant: I'm not that person anymore.

Kirkland: When Paulina realizes that you haven't changed at all, she's gonna be so hurt.

Grant: I'm sorry that you feel that way son, but I am not going to let Paulina down.

Paulina has overheard Grant's declaration, wondering if he will keep it.

MCKINNONS HOUSE

Vicky sits on the living room couch and Jake walks in.

Jake: Open the door.

Vicky: Nobody knocked.

Jake: It's a surprise.

Vicky: Jake I'm really not in the mood.

Vicky reluctantly does so and gets a pleasant surprise.

Vicky: Kirkland! Oh my God!

They hug each other tightly. "I'm so sorry mom." he says regarding Michele's death.

Vicky: About what honey? I'm so glad you're home.

Kirkland: I wish I could have been here sooner.

Vicky: I'm so glad you're here. You've lifted my spirits.

Kirkland: You heard from Steven?

Jake: He sent flowers. He's not gonna be able to make it for the memorial.

Vicky: He was really torn up when I told him about Michele.

Kirkland: Of course he was. Where's Bridget?

Vicky: She's right where she belongs...not here!

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

CORY LIVING ROOM

Rachel is livid after looking at her online statistics for Cory Publishing, and Amanda walks in.

Rachel: Would you mind explaining this Amanda?

Amanda: What?

Rachel: There are seven buyout requests that you've approved. That's going to put us in a big hole.

Amanda: We didn't have a choice mom. They all pulled out of their contracts.

Rachel: Contracts that you approved without my consent.

Amanda: I had to make an executive decision.

Rachel: You were out celebrating with Allen, and now these same people who he signed are going to pull out.

Amanda: How was I supposed to know that mom?

Rachel: Because you made an emotional decision instead of an executive one.

Amanda: Say what you're gonna say.

Rachel: Your attraction to Allen. You've let it put your father's company into a huge hole that we may not be able to dig out of.

Amanda: So you don't trust me?

Rachel: From now on I will make all final decisions on contracts. Nothing gets approved without my consent.

Amanda: So it's true, you're gonna strip all the power from me.

Rachel: You have not proven that you're capable of handling it.

Amanda grabs her purse and jacket.

Rachel: Where are you going?

Amanda: When it rains it pours doesn't it? I just got the final divorce papers from Cameron, and then you demote me. I don't think I can take much else.

Rachel calls Amanda back after realizing that she may have laid it on too thick, but Amanda has already left.

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

REGINALD'S SUITE

Reginald opens the door to Iris, who walks right in.

Reginald: What are you doing here?

Iris: Hello to you, too big guy.

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

Kirkland: What do you mean?

Jake (interrupting): Bridget felt more comfortable living with Donna. She's torn up over her sister's death.

Kirkland: I can imagine. She's at Donna's right?

Vicky: Maybe seeing you might help her, because she needs it.

Kirkland: Why is she even there? I mean I thought she would be here with you and Jake.

Jake: Your mother didn't want her here. She blames Bridget.

Kirkland: Mom Bridget would never kill her sister.

Vicky: I know that she didn't kill Michele, but Bridget was very jealous of her, and she did some unsavory things.

Jake: Can you excuse us Kirk?

Kirkland: I'm gonna...head to Donna's and see my sister.

Vicky (watching Kirk leave): You are in such denial about the things is Bridget is capable of. That's why I don't want her in this house.

Jake: She's not some random woman in the street, she's our daughter...and you speak about her like she's not.

Vicky: It's the daughter part that scares me the most. The lengths she went to hurt Michele concern me.

Jake: So sending her to live with Donna, which was mostly your idea, is gonna solve your concerns?

Vicky: I need to clear my head about her.

Jake: I don't understand this. We're a family. We need each other more than ever. Bridget needs to be here, with her parents.

Vicky: I don't want her here right now.

Jake: I am sick of you speaking of our daughter like this.

Jake grabs his jacket. "Where are you going?" asks Vicky. "Out!" Jake angrily replies as he walks out the door.

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

CORY LIVING ROOM

Rachel is on her cell phone. "Email me Allen Lovett's list of references. I want to check everything out."

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

ALLEN'S APARTMENT

Allen has only an A-shirt on as he opens the door.

Allen: Amanda?

Amanda walks in and takes off her coat. She shuts the door, says nothing, and kisses Allen passionately, who returns the favor.

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

Reginald: This is risky. You can't be seen with me.

Iris: We're behind closed doors. What's your fear?

Reginald: Don't play coy. You know what I'm talking about.

Iris: I had a little tete a tete with Rachel on the day of my release. Gets the blood flowing.

Reginald: I bet it does.

Iris: I will have to undo all the damage that she's done to my father's name and his company.

Reginald: You will have your chance. It's almost done.

Iris: They're so clueless. They don't even know that I set up phony writers, and they're gonna pay me.

Reginald: Seems like a fool proof plan Iris. Just make sure you don't try to double cross me.

Iris (walking up to Reginald): Now come on. You've been such a great help to me on the outside. Why would I want to do something like that? We're a team. What do I need do to convince you?

Iris begins kissing him, and Reginald can't resist.

JOHN AND SHARLENE are at GREG'S bedside.

Sharlene: How are you feeling?

Greg: You guys keep asking me that. I still can't walk.

John: We're gonna keep asking you that because we're your parents.

Sharlene: Your father's right.

Greg: So dad has the swelling gone down yet?

John: Actually your body is healing quickly.

Greg: So when can I start physical therapy?

John: Patience son...patience. Sharlene can I talk to you outside for a minute?

OUTSIDE OF Greg's room....

John: Thanks for standing by me in there.

Sharlene: We're presenting a united front for Gregory, but make no mistake, I am furious with you.

FELICIA is in the living room on her laptop, and MITCH walks out to greet her.

Mitch: Good morning.

Felicia (not looking at Mitch): Morning.

Mitch: Felicia what's gotten into you the last couple of days?

Felicia: Umm I don't know...

Mitch: Ever since the prom night you've been acting strangely.

Felicia: No Mitch, you didn't come home, and I don't appreciate that.

BRIDGET comes downstairs and DONNA is in the living room.

Bridget: I forgot how big this house is.

Donna: A lot of things happened in here.

Bridget: Like what?

Donna: Like the talk I'm going to have with you. Sit.

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

John: Can you at least try to understand why I didn't say anything about it?

Sharlene: I have tried, and I can't. I'm his mother. I gave birth to him. Do you know how much it hurts me to see my son in there unable to walk. This could've been prevented if you had said something to me.

John: It hurts me,too. Would you have been able to stop him from getting in that car and racing off in one of his steroid rages?

Sharlene: We could have gotten him help. Michele McKinnon might still be alive.

John: I didn't want anything else to upset. The night we came home and found Greg in a rage should lead you to understand why I didn't say anything about him using steroids.

Sharlene: Why? I'm his mother. I should know what's going on with my son.

John: And you should've seen what happened that night. You had another memory, and you look you're in pain when you have them. I'm afraid of what's gonna happen when you remember everything about the day Grant was shot.

A YOUNG LADY WALKS UP TO JOHN AND SHARLENE...blogentry-14971-0-18185500-1331139926_th

Young Lady: Is this Gregory Hudson's room?

John: Yes.

Young Lady: I'm Lindsay Winthrop. I'm gonna be his physical therapist.

Sharlene: Winthrop? You related to Cass?

Lindsay: Yep that's my uncle.

John: Is Morgan your father?

Lindsay: Nope that's my uncle, too. Stacey's my mother.

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

Mitch: It was late, and I was tired, and I wanted to help with the kids.

Felicia: It seems you forgot you had a lady at home waiting for you.

Mitch: I didn't.

Felicia: Well apparently, you did. I appreciate you helping Rachel. She's a dear friend of mine, but not at the expense of us.

Mitch: Oh come Felicia. I love you, not Rachel.

Felicia: I know that Mitch, but I thought it was a bit inappropriate.

Mitch: Yes it may have been. I was just trying to help Rachel.

Felicia: And that's why I love you, but I am here, and I need you.

Mitch: And you've got me.

THEY KISS and MAKE UP...

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

Bridget: What about?

Donna: I'm gonna start by saying that I don't blame you for Michele's death, okay?

Bridget: Mom does.

Donna: Your mother's upset.

Bridget: I mean I'm sick about it, too. She acts like she's the only one hurting.

Donna: When you have a child, you will understand.

Bridget: She was my sister, I would never hurt her. I certainly didn't want her to die.

Donna: I understand that, but what you did before her accident, was absolutely irresponsible and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Bridget: I am Donna.

Donna: Well I don't see it. You stole vodka from Reginald's suite. You tried to keep Michele's acceptance letter from her. You didn't want kill Michele, but you not wanting to hurt her, is a lie.

Bridget: How can you say this to me?

Donna: Honey you have to own up to what you've done. You did try to hurt your sister, and now you don't even have the chance to make it up to her. You have to live with that guilt for the rest of your life.

Bridget: So you are blaming me.

Donna: I am blaming you for the things you did to hurt your sister.

Bridget: Is that what you brought me here for? To berate me?

Donna: No baby. I love you, and I want you to be a stronger woman than I or your mother were when we were younger. You are so beautiful and so much more going for you. You don't have to stoop to those levels to get attention.

Bridget: Well Grandpa Reginald said I have to demand attention.

Donna: And look what happened...your sister is dead. Take a good look at yourself, and what you've done. The way you'll get attention, is by being a beautiful, strong young lady that I know you can be.

Cass and Charlie walk and talk side by side.

Cass: So what do you plan on doing?

Charlie: I dunno dad. I'm just gonna sit around and do nothing.

Cass: Charlie I'm serious.

Cass stops and faces his daughter.

Cass: You are going to have a hard life if you don't have an education.

Charlie: Don't you think I know that? I've applied for courses at BCU.

Cass: Okay that's a good start. You know your mother's back in town.

blogentry-14971-0-78258500-1331042256_thFrankie walks up and taps Charlie on her shoulder.

Frankie (eyes welling up): Do you wanna give your mother a hug?

Bridget is in her bedroom and Jake walks in and sits on the edge of it. Bridget joins him and he wraps his arm around her shoulder as she leans her head into his chest.

Bridget: Dad?

Jake: Yes baby.

Bridget: Do you blame me?

Jake: For what? No...no I don't.

Bridget: Mom does. She thinks I killed Michele.

Jake: It was a terrible accident.

Bridget: I would never try to kill my sister.

Jake: You don't have to explain anything to me. We all loved Michele, and we're gonna miss her.

Bridget: You look at me differently don't you?

Jake: What do you mean?

Bridget: Because of what I did. I took vodka from Grandpa Reginald's cabinet. I kissed Cory just to piss off Michele.

Jake: You didn't push her into the street. The police ruled it an accident. Everybody knows you didn't push Michele into the street.

Bridget: What about the driver?

Jake: It was your cousin Gregory. He couldn't get out of the way in time.

Bridget: Is he okay?

Jake: He's paralyzed from the waist down.

Bridget: Look at everything that I've done dad.

Jake: Baby girl you have to stop blaming yourself okay. Nobody is at fault here.

Bridget: I wish mom would believe that.

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

The living room is full of cards and flowers. Donna comforts Vicky.

Vicky: This is the worst feeling in the world.

Donna: I can't imagine what I'd do if I'd lost you or Marley.

Vicky: Children are supposed to live longer than their parents, and now we're gonna have to bury her. Guess it was nice of all the kids at school to send all these flowers and well wishes for Michele.

Donna: Michele was loved and adored by everyone.

Vicky: I guess everybody except her own sister.

Donna: That's not true. Bridget loved her, too, and I'm positive that she did not mean for any of this to happen.

Vicky: And the road to hell...

Donna: Deep down you know that, too. You're trying to find someone to blame, but Bridget isn't the right person.

Vicky: I don't want to even look at her anymore.

Donna: Victoria you can't keep this up. You need to be strong for Bridget.

Vicky: And I will, but not while she's here.

Donna: What are you talking about?

Vicky: I want her to come live with you for a while.

Donna: Sure. Of course I'll take her.

Rachel is freshening up when Iris walks in...and locks the door. Rachel sees Iris in the mirror.

Iris: It's been a long time Rachel.

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

Charlie reluctantly gives Frankie a hug, making an already awkward situation more awkward.

Frankie: So...umm...when did you get back?

Charlie: I suppose I could ask you the same question.

Frankie: Well...it's good to see both of you.

Charlie: Leaving so soon mom. Are you gonna stay away like you did before?

Cass: Charlie---

Frankie: No, Cass, she has a right to be angry with me for staying away.

Cass: She does not have the right to be disrespectful.

Charlie: Are you serious right now dad? Mom chose to stay away for years, and now she thinks she can just pop up and pick up where we left off! It doesn't work like that!

Charlie storms off. Cass calls for her but Charlie doesn't return.

Cass: I'm sorry. I'll talk to her.

Frankie: You don't have to. She's upset with me, and I don't blame her.

Cass: Whether she's angry or not, she still needs her mother.

Frankie: And I'm here. I always will be.

Cass: You guys are gonna need to sit down and talk.

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

Jake: Your mother is upset about Michele's death.

Bridget: So am I. She was my sister. I loved her.

Jake: Baby you don't have to tell me. We all are hurting.

Bridget: How long is mom gonna be angry with me?

Jake: I don't know. Your mom and were discussing something. We think it might be best for you to go live with Donna for a while.

Bridget: Maybe you're right. Mom doesn't want me around anyway.

Jake: Vicky loves you. She's just really upset right now.

Bridget: You're the only one who's stood by me.

Jake: I'm your champion, don't you ever forget that.

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

Rachel: Iris?

Iris: The one and only.

Rachel: There must be something on your mind because you locked the door.

Iris: Yes as a matter of fact there is. More of a...curiosity. Why didn't you testify against me? I thought you would be the biggest advocate of me staying in prison.

Rachel: I have my reasons, none of which are your concern.

Iris: I plan to enjoy my freedom. I'm not gonna mess it up.

Rachel: And that is the only truthful thing that I've heard you say.

Iris: For what it's worth, I didn't want Carl to be shot. Evan changed the bullets.

Rachel: And you took the fall. How noble of you.

Iris: I'm trying to make a peace offering.

Rachel: I don't want it! Anything you have to give is tainted.

Iris: You insist on keeping the animosity between us going.

Rachel: I don't trust you Iris. I never will.

Iris: Just make sure you let Amanda know that I've been released.

Rachel: Amanda will find out in the papers.

Iris: I look forward to interacting with my family again.

Rachel gets up in Iris's face.

Rachel: Is that a threat?

Iris: You take it any way you want.

Rachel: You hear me loud and clear. If you try to hurt any member of my family, you will answer to me.

Iris: Do you mean Mac's family? My father's family? Why would I hurt any of them?

Rachel: Because you can't be trusted. I will have my eagle eye on you...pussycat.
