Three Days After Phillip’s Tragic Murder…
- Lizzie is in her room preparing for the funeral when Shayne calls her cell phone. He asks how she is doing and she tells him that she’ll be all right. Shayne assures Lizzie that Marina, Tammy and he will be there to support Lizzie through the day…Lizzie thanks him and notices James at her door, she hangs up the phone and tells James to come on in…
- Lucy and Alan-Michael [Heather Tom & Dan Gauither] awake, their first morning back in the mansion and it is obvious that Lucy is uncomfortable being there. Lucy questions if Alan-Michael spoke with his father last night after drinks about them not staying. A-M tells Lucy that this is not the time to discuss anything like that and while Lucy understands that she makes sure that her husband understands that they will not be staying in Springfield after Phillip’s funeral.
- James tells Lizzie that he went to Beth’s room and she wouldn’t answer the door. James also tells Lizzie that last night when he got up to go to the bathroom he heard Aunt Alex crying, the toddler asks Lizzie why she looks so sad. James asks if it is because Daddy isn’t home yet. Lizzie tears up and tells James that Phillip not being home has a lot to do with it yes. Outside in the hallway Lillian is about to enter Lizzie’s bedroom when she hears her talking to James, she stops outside to listen to her grandchildren. Lillian is moved to tears when she sees Lizzie wrap James into her arms and explain to the young child that Phillip is in heaven with the angels and that he’ll be watching over them protecting them forever. Lillian is moved to tears with how well Lizzie has handled herself with James and she storms off to Beth’s bedroom furious!
- Alan and Olivia are getting up and dressed as well. Alan tells Olivia that today of all days he is going to need her support. Alan explains to Olivia that he and Elizabeth had a stillborn child, but that does not compare to this, having seen Phillip grow up and into a man, Alan tells Olivia it breaks his heart. Mrs. Spaulding promises that she will be there with Alan every step of the way!
- Lillian storms into Beth’s bedroom and slams the door, but it does not seem to faze her and Lillian picks up the empty wine bottle and throws it against the wall, jolting Beth from her drunken slumber! Lillian tells her daughter, “If you think I’m going to allow you to wallow in this bed all day and let your children, who need you, now more than ever…then daughter you are out of your mind.” Lillian strips the sheets off of Beth’s bed and tells her to get up. Beth continues lying in bed saying that she can’t do it and is on the verge of a nervous break down…Beth tells Lillian that she can’t do this and that it is going to have to be Lillian who is there for Lizzie and not her. Lillian retorts, “I’ve dealt with a lot of heartache in my life Beth Raines and I raised you to be strong and independent, to be a good loving mother. So please, please don’t fail me know like I failed you.”
- Lillian is setting on the foot of Beth’s bed and Beth crawls on her knees and wraps her arms around Lillian and softly whispers, “You have never failed me. Please don’t ever say that you did or even think it.” Lillian in tears tells Beth she has to pull herself together for Lizzie and James. Lillian tells her daughter to get dressed and leaves the room. Outside in the hallway, she leans up against the door and begs God to help them all!
- Beth has finally gotten dressed and is looking for a pair of black shoes in her suitcase when she hears the door open and a familiar voice speak, “Phillip Spaulding loved many women in his life…but my God he never loved one like he did you Beth.” Beth spins around and sees Mindy Lewis [Krista Tesreau] standing there and the women reunite and grieve over Phillip’s death. Beth tells her what the police know about the shooting and Mindy weeps over her beloved friends murder. Lucy knocks on Beth’s door and tells her that the limo has arrived to take them to the service. Beth tells Lucy she’ll be right down and asks Mindy to get her necklace out of the dresser drawer, when Mindy does…she finds Beth’s pistol and questions what it is doing here…
- Beth explains that she took the gun from Lillian’s closet years ago after Bradley raped her! Beth tells Mindy that she has to protect herself one way or another…Mindy is still concerned but Beth puts the gun away and locks the dresser drawer and reminds Mindy that Phillip was murdered…and she has to protect her children. Beth turns to Mindy and vows that she ever finds the bastards responsible for killing Phillip, she'll kill them herself! Mindy is horrified and worried, but says nothing. Once Beth is finally dressed she asks Mindy to ride with her to the service.
- The family has all assembled in the living room awaiting the arrival of the family limo to take them to the service when India VonHalkein [Mary Kay Adams] arrives to offer her sympathies to the Spaulding clan! As India is talking with Alan, Shayne arrives at the request of Lizzie who wanted him to ride with her to the service!
