INT. CHANDLER MANSION - NIGHT

Adam: What?

Stuart: (Laughs) Adam, I know you are working with him.

Adam: What is that supposed to mean?

Stuart: I know that you are working with David Hayward.

Adam: Listen here!

Stuart: Don't you talk to me like that. You haven't heard what I am going to say, yet.

Adam: What is that supposed to mean?

---

INT. CRAFT ROOM - AFTERNOON

Greenlee and Ryan enter. Marian is looking out the window.

Ryan: Marian.

Greenlee: Hello?

She turns around.

Marian: I know why you are here.

Greenlee: You do?

Marian: Yes. Please sit.

They all sit.

Ryan: So, you know what happened with Annie?

Marian: I do. But, I need something first.

Greenlee: Anything.

Marian: You have to promise to believe me.

Ryan: Why wouldn't we?

Marian: Because, what I am about to tell you, might seem odd.

Greenlee and Ryan are wondering what could seem so odd about Annie.

---

---

INT. ANNIE'S HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT

Emma is sleeping on the bed. Annie goes into the bathroom.

Woman: Please let us go. My daughter and I won't speak a word.

Annie: You don't get it. Do you?

Woman: What do you mean?

Annie: You are the mom of my daughter's best friend. Greenlee and Ryan think that Emma is spending a whole week with you guys. That buys me some time. Just think of yourself as an insurance policy.

Woman: Lady...

Annie: Who knows? I might let you go.

Annie shuts the door.

---

INT. ZACK AND KENDALL'S HOME - NIGHT

Zack and Kendall are on the couch.

Kendall: I am shocked that the boys fell asleep that fast. After taking them to see Jurassic World, let's just say that ice cream took their sugar high to a whole new level. It's amazing how fast it can happen.

Zack: Yes it is.

Kendall's phone rings.

Zack: Do you really have to answer that?

Kendall: I do. It might be Jackson or Binx, with an update on my mom.

Zack: (Sighs) True.

Kendall answers her phone.

Kendall: Hello? Hello? Hello? (Static on the phone) Listen here, the police are after you. So, whoever this is, I've already taken care of you as an issue. Do you understand me?

Kendall hangs up. They both stand.

Zack: Dammit!

Kendall: I can't take this. I don't have time for this.

Zack: I know.

Kendall: So, what are we going to do?

Zack: We will go to Jesse.

Kendall: Okay. I have to call Rosie. See if she can babysit.

Zack: Okay.

Kendall: Be sure to grab my purse.

---

INT. CHANDLER MANSION - NIGHT

Adam eats a bowl of bar nuts.

Adam: You still haven't said what you need to.

Stuart: I thought you would have figured something out by now.

Adam: No, I haven't.

Stuart: Adam, I'll keep your secret. On one condition.

Adam: I'm listening.

Stuart: Marian is getting released soon.

Adam: Really?

Stuart: Yes.

Adam: What does my secret have to do with her?

Stuart: You are going to keep her here. Let her live at the Chandler Mansion, and your secret is not blown sky high. So, what is it going to be? Will you let me keep your secret, as you keep Marian here?

Adam: I'll take you up on that brother.

Stuart: Let's shake on it. After all, that's how you do real deals.

The two shake hands.

---

INT. JESSE'S OFFICE - NIGHT

Kendall, Zack, and Jesse enter. They sit down.

Jesse: So, the stalker didn't say anything?

Kendall: Exactly.

Zack: He or she just keeps sending these static, weird calls.

Jesse: So, no text? Threatening voice mails or emails?

Kendall: Nope. Jesse, it is really starting to worry me.

Jesse: Kendall, that's normal.

Zack: (Sighs)

Jesse: Kendall, hand me your phone.

Kendall: Okay.

Kendall hands over the phone.

Zack: What are you doing?

Jesse is taking out chips and wires.

Jesse: The things I am taking out can be used to track. I am going to see if the same thing can happen with tracking the stalker. It is unlikely, but it just might work. Do you mind if I keep this stuff?

Kendall: No problem. I can pick up a burner. Not a problem.

Zack: Thanks Jesse.

Jesse: Of course.

---

INT. PINE VALLEY HOSPITAL - NIGHT

Angie is at the front desk. She is looking Opal's chart. She can't help but worry for Opal. Is one of Pine Valley's best really dying? She is worried, but knows she can't stop doing her work. THEN...

Angie: What is this?

She sees something odd in the chart.

Angie: Oh my goodness.

Angie gets a phone.

Angie: Tad, this is Angie. Get Opal to the hospital, now!

---

INT. CRAFT ROOM - NIGHT

Greenlee and Ryan are intrigued.

Marian: Annie, was released about six months ago. She wanted to revamp her life. I said that I know of this motel on Cryer street. It isn't much. But, it is cheap. So, she thought about it. She would call me. She checked up on the comings and goings of Oak Haven. One day, she told me about her plan to redeem herself, and take what is rightfully hers. But, I..., I..., I, think she has gotten out of control.

Greenlee: What do you mean?

Marian: She talked about taking Emma.

Ryan: What!?

Ryan stands with Greenlee.

Marian: I hope that I didn't upset you.

Greenlee: It is fine Marian. Thank you.

Marian: Of course dear. Bye.

Greenlee and Ryan go out to the hall.

Ryan: We have to go to that hotel room.

Greenlee: We can't.

Ryan: What do you mean?

Greenlee: We have to get the police with us.

Ryan: You're right. You're right.

Greenlee: We'll get Emma back. And, I'll kill this bitch. I promise you that.

Greenlee and Ryan hold hands, and walk down the hall.

---

INT. LIZA AND CALEB'S HOME - AFTERNOON

Liza throws her hands up.

Liza: I don't know. I just don't know.

Caleb: Liza, do you really want to feud and feud?

Liza: Maybe I want to continue this feud, so you feel the pain I do.

Caleb: Pain? What pain?

INT. KRYSTAL'S DINER - AFTERNOON

Brot and Natalia sit at a table.

Brot: I am glad that the doctor said you were doing good.

Brot: Yes he is.

Natalia: (Laughs) And, what makes you think that this baby is a he?

Brot: (Laughs) I have that feeling. Either way our baby will be a Cubs fan.

Natalia: Yeah, we'll see.

There is a short silence between the two.

Brot: What?

Natalia: I'm so happy.

Brot: Me too.

He kisses her.

Natalia: Thank you for always being by my side.

Brot: Now, get over here.

Natalia: (Laughs)

They kiss again.

---

INT. LIZA AND CALEB'S HOME - AFTERNOON

Liza sits down.

Liza: I've been through so much in the relationship department. I've been married four times. All to Adam. I've been with Tad. I kissed Gil Barrett. I was with Jake, Jonathan Kinder, Ryan. I've had two one night stands. One with Zack. The other with Damon Miller. And now..., I came to this. Me and you. (SHE STANDS) You were going to propose. I might have said yes. But, then, I come home, and you are right here; in this very room, locking lips with "the" Erica Kane. I see that you want her. From the first time you laid eyes on her, you wanted to be with her. It's fine. Go. I'll get out of your hair.

Caleb: It was one time Liza. And, you seem to not want to know the truth.

Liza: What truth?

Caleb: Liza, Erica never wanted me. She gave me that kiss to make Jackson jealous.

Liza: What?

Caleb: (Sighs) Erica came here. She was upset. Very upset. Apparently, her and Jackson got into a fight at Bianca and Marisa's. I just tried to comfort her, without the kiss. As soon as we started talking, she kissed me.

Liza: And, I'm supposed to believe that?

Caleb: Believe whatever you want. But, this is the truth.

Liza checks her watch.

Liza: I need to go. I have a deposition to go to.

Caleb: Will you think about what I said?

Liza: Sure. I'll give it some thought.

Caleb: Thank you.

Liza: Don't mention it. Seriously, don't.

Liza walks out.

Caleb: (Sighs)

---

INT. CHANDLER MANSION - AFTERNOON

Adam pours himself a scotch.

Adam: We don't need to worry about David Hayward.

Stuart: Actually, we do.

Adam: Why is that.

Stuart: Oh my lord!

Adam: What?

Stuart: (Laughs) Adam, I know you are working with him.

Adam: Excuse me?

Stuart: You didn't think I would notice the two million dollars taken from the bank. Now, tell me brother, why would you work with such an evil person? And, I know you are lying to Brooke. So, tell me. Why would you do this?

---

INT. ERICA'S HOSPITAL ROOM - AFTERNOON

---

INT. CRAFT ROOM - AFTERNOON

Marian: Where do I even begin?

INT. ERICA'S HOSPITAL ROOM - MORNING

Jackson enters.

Erica: Jackson.

Jackson: Good morning.

Erica: What are you doing here?

Jackson: I actually came, because Joe called me.

Erica: What?

Jackson: Erica, your results are in.

Joe enters.

Joe: She isn't okay.

---

INT. LIZA AND CALEB'S HOME - MORNING

Liza comes down the stairs with a suitcase. Caleb enters. He shuts the door behind him.

Caleb: Oh! Liza, you scared me.

Liza: I am here to get my things.

​Caleb: I see that. Do you think that is necessary?

Liza: I don't know. Did you think it was necessary to kiss Erica?

---

---

INT. PINE VALLEY HOSPITAL - MORNING

Opal and Tad come out of the hospital room.

Tad: You okay, ma?

Opal: I am dying. I know that.

Angie: WHAT?!

Opal: Angie.

Angie: Opal..., what did you say?

---

INT. LIZA AND CALEB'S HOME - MORNING

Caleb sets his to-go coffee down.

Caleb: Are we really going to do this again?

Liza: We will do this as many times as we need too. Caleb, I don't think that you get it, yet. Relationships are all about discussing and working through obstacles. But, you don't want to talk about this. You don't even want it to be discussed by Erica. And, she was the one who was a partner in this whole thing. Why are you doing this? This doesn't seem like you at all. What gives?

Caleb: (Sighs) I made one mistake. You can't blame me, for not wanting to talk about it. I admit that it was a mistake. I just want to move on with you, and only you. Can you do that with me Liza? Can you forget my ghastly mistake? Can you do that? So, we can move on?

Liza starts to think, silently.

---

INT. KRYSTAL'S HOME - MORNING

Kevin (FAKE J.R.) has his feet on the coffee table. Krystal comes down the stairs.

Krystal: Get your feet off my table.

Kevin does so, and stands.

Kevin: Do you always have to be so...

Krystal: What?

Kevin: You know.

Krystal: (Sighs) We need to get some things straight.

Kevin: Like what?

Krystal: Some ground rules.

Kevin: Oh, really? I hate ground rules.

Krystal: Listen, you are a doppelganger. You are not the real J.R. You are helping me get rid of him. You listen to me. You do not go outside. In less than five seconds, I can have David on the phone. One call to him, and you are finished! Done! S.O.L. Do you hear me?

Kevin: Loud and clear.

Krystal: Good. Now, breakfast is ready.

Krystal walks off.

Kevin: This is going to be a long day.

---

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM #2 - MORNING

Angie, Opal, and Tad walk back into a hospital room.

Angie: Opal, what gives?

Tad: We need to get some things straight around here.

Angie: What? Opal, are you dying? What is going on? I know I sound pushy, but I am worried about you. No one just comes out of a hospital room and says that.

Opal: Angie, before I tell you this, you have to promise me something.

Angie: What? Anything.

Opal: I need you to keep this a secret.

Tad: We mean that.

Angie: (Laughs) Of course.

Opal: Angie..., I have a brain tumor.

Angie: What did you just say?

Opal: It's true.

Angie: When did this happen?

Tad: We found out about a month ago.

Angie: I see. Do you need me to do anything? Who has the case?

Opal: I am fine. Joe has the case.

Angie: Opal, listen, if you need me to be brought on as a consultant, I can talk to Joe. I will do anything that you need done. Do you hear me?

Opal: Yes I do. Thank you Angie.

Angie: Of course. Come here.

They hug.

Tad: Anyways, ma needs plenty of rest. We probably need to get her home.

Angie: Yeah.

Opal: Thanks again.

Angie: Good luck.

Opal: Bye.

Angie: Bye.

---

INT. ERICA'S HOSPITAL ROOM - MORNING

Erica is startled.

Erica: Joe, what is it? What is going on?

Joe: Erica, it turns out that you blacked out. Now, this goes back to when you admitted back in 2003 and in 2004. Do you remember that?

Erica: Joe, that was because of my drinking. I haven't had a drop since.

Joe: Actually you have.

Jackson: Joe, I don't want to be disrespectful, but that is absolutely ludicrous.

Joe: We tested her blood. It appears you had a drink with dinner, last night. We tested your blood as soon as you were admitted. It was .01.

Erica: That is insane! How dare you! Joe, I can't believe you are telling me this. I want you out! I want you out of my hospital room, now! Get out! Get out!

Joe: Okay.

Joe exits.

Jackson: Erica, tell me the truth. Did you take a drink?

Announcer: On The Next "All My Children"

Liza: Maybe.

Erica: How dare you.

Natalia: I am happy.

Marian: Where do you want me to begin?

Stuart: Oh my lord!

THIS EPISODE IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF ANNE MEARA:

Kendall, Zack, and Jessie walk in.

Jessie: So, what did you guys need to talk to me about?

Kendall: Well, I got a little mysterious phone call today.

Jessie: From who?

Zack: We do not know.

Jessie: Oh. Do you have the phone?

Kendall: Yeah.

Kendall hands Jessie her phone.

Jessie: What exactly did you hear, that you made you drive here?

Kendall: Static, like from a TV.

Jessie: Oh. Listen, I will call in the experts, and they'll see what is up.

Kendall: Thanks Jessie.

Jessie: No problem.

Jessie exits.

Krystal touches J.R. 2.0's face.

Krystal: How is this possible?

David: Krystal, his name is Kevin. I hired him to conduct an experiment. It worked.

Krystal: I see that. Why is he here? Why did you do this?

David: Krystal, don't you get it by now?

Krystal: What?

David: He is going to help you kill J.R.

Dixie and Adam enter.

Adam: I am happy to see you here Dixie.

Dixie: I'm not sure you will be, after what I have to say.

Adam: What's going on?

Dixie: My son thinks David is plotting against him. Are you helping him?

Jessie enters.

Kendall: Jessie. Hi.

Jessie: Hi guys.

Zack: What'd you find?

Jessie: This might shock you.

Kendall crosses her arms.

Kendall: What does that mean?

Jessie: It means that the time stamp you suggested isn't real.

Zack: What exactly does that mean?

Jessie: I am saying that, A, you lied to me. Or B, you got something bigger on your hands. And I have known the both of you for years and years. Almost longer than a decade. Therefore, I am going to go with B.

Zack: Wise choice.

Kendall: What does this mean?

Jessie sits down in his chair.

Jessie: It means you go home, and you wait for something else.

Dixie and Adam sit on the couch.

Adam: Why would you assume that I would help David?

Dixie: (Sighs) You've done worst.

Adam: Like what?

Dixie: Remember when you hit Tad with that fire poker. You've hired a thug to shoot Palmer. You faked your own death to test Erica. You rigged a pregnancy test to show that Jeremy was the father of Natalie's baby. Oh, and this is one of my favorites..., you told An-Li that she had to marry Brian Bodine in order to get her green card, just to keep Brian away from Hayley. Do you see what you have done to people Adam? Now do you understand why I am just a little skeptical. Oh!

Adam: What now?

Dixie: I almost forgot that you threatened to frame Pete Cortlandt for rape if Pete didn't keep quiet about Colby being involved in a car accident. That is another one of those little things you have done, that you seem to get out of.

Adam stands.

Adam: Listen, Dixie...

Dixie stands.

Dixie: No, you listen Adam. If you are going to hurt my son..., you better watch out. Because, when you hurt him, something goes off in me. Something that will make me want to hurt you. So, watch out. Watch out for me.

Dixie grabs her handbag and exits.

Krystal is holding a suitcase.

Krystal: I have no problem with driving him to his hotel room.

David: Thank you Krystal. Now, behave.

Kevin: I will. Thanks for this opurtunity.

David: Of course.

Krystal: Kevin, go wait in the car please.

Kevin: Sure.

Kevin exits.

Krystal: David, I have to say something before I leave.

David: What is that?

Krystal crosses her arms.

Krystal: If... for one second, I feel double-crossed by you; I will blow you out of the water. Understood?

David: Completely.

Krystal: Wonderful.

David: Welcome to the Krystal/David partnership.

They shake hands.

Krystal: Seya later David.

David: Bye.

Krystal exits.

David: Watch out Pine Valley. It's gonna get crazy

J.R.: David Hayward.

THE CAMERA PANS OVER TO LIZA.

Liza is drinking coffee, and is on the phone. She has a notebook and pen. She also has glasses on.

Zach: But, hey that flee market lasted longer than it should.

They sit on the couch.

Kendall: (Sighs) You know you loved it.

J.R.: I don't want you to worry.

Dixie: I!... I am.

J.R. gets closer to his mom at the table.

J.R.: Why?

Dixie: Because, it is freaking David Hayward.

J.R.: I am lost. I thought you liked the man, because he brought you back from the great beyond. I mean if I died, and David brought me back from the dead, well one I would be super freaked. Two, I would be grateful. So, why aren't you?

Dixie: Our family knows how David works all to well. So tell me, what is going on?

J.R.: (Sighs) I think David is plotting against me.

Krystal crosses her arms.

Krystal: Remember when you said that you were had conditions.

David: Yes.

Krystal: Well, I have conditions now as well.

David: Oh really.

Krystal: (Laughs) I do.

David: What is it?

Krystal: David I know that you are hiding someone. You are hiding someone in this house. Do you want to know how I know that? Because, I was spying on you. I know that you have someone here. So, here's how it is going to work. You are going to show me this person, and I am going to then tell you my decision. And, don't try to get out of this, because you won't. So, let's go, shall we?

David: Aren't you just so smart?

Krystal: I am.

They shake hands.

Liza: Oh my gosh! I wasn't actually going to go along with this.

Brooke: For your sake I hope not.

The man is...

INT. TAD AND DIXIE'S HOME - NIGHT

Dixie hugs Tad. She wipes tears off of her face.

Dixie: I had absolutely no idea that Opal had a brain tumor. How come you didn't tell me about this? Were you that worried?

Natalia: I was actually going to tell you tonight.

Brot: Oh really?

Natalia: When you got home.

Brot: (Sighs)

INT. TAD AND DIXIE'S HOME - NIGHT

Dixie is sitting on the couch. She is drinking wine. Tad is not in the room. Then she has a flashback about her and Tad:

Tad: I will love you until the end of time.

Natalia: All I do...

Brot: Natalia!

Caleb: Liza you shouldn't blame Erica.

Liza: I am not blaming Erica. Well, not just Erica. Because, of course I blame you as well. Because, you hold 50% of the blame.

Caleb: (Sighs) Erica I think you should go.

Erica: I think that's a good idea.

Erica grabs her handbag.

Liza: Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

Caleb: Liza, you need to stop.

Liza: I need to stop? I just walked in on you kissing Erica. Your old lover I might add!

Caleb: That was a cheap shot.

Liza: Oh trust me..., it was not.

Caleb: (Sighs) I am going to bed. We can talk about this in the morning.

Liza: Don't you walk away from me!

Caleb walks away and shuts the door. Liza throws a vase.

INT. MARISA AND BIANCA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

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

JACKSON:

What you just said was completely expected of you Erica.

ERICA:

What is that supposed to mean Jackson?

JACKSON:

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

ERICA:

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

INT. BIANCA AND MARISA'S FAMILY ROOM - NIGHT

Marisa and Bianca come off a hug.

MARISA:

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

BIANCA:

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

MARISA:

I know that.

BIANCA:

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