Previously on Point Palace:


- Carlos was shocked when Jenny admitted to him that she kidnaped Nan and he told her that he would have done the same thing and only to be more honest with him. She makes a big deal about the wedding, when Nick purposely tells him that he needs to work the rest of the week on night shift. Leaving Carlos to choose between his job or Jenny.

- Blake and London convince each other to have Owen and Alley in the wedding but when London calls Alley she tells her that she's not going because she doesn't stand for it. Dylan tries talking Alley into it and Blake questions Alley to know if it is true. When they argue he asks her if she cares about his happiness and she begins to realize that for him she will go.

- Lenvy cancels plans that involve a double date with Trella because of Will who tells her that he thinks Lenvy is better then her. Lenvy tells him not to be so stubborn as Will thinks of how he needs to keep Trella as far away from Lenvy as possible.

- Owen convinces a very busy Alexia that he needs a date for the wedding. He sets his sights on his attractive African American friend named Tanisha Jones and she agrees to go with him. It seems that she would agree to do anything for him.

- Carrie asks John to the wedding but he declines. She then tells him that he should be better then that and to shove their relationship in everyone's face. He agrees to go and then proceeds to seduce Carrie, which works.

- Ava asks James to be her date for the wedding but he tells her that it would be too much of a risk.

- Laney calls Peggy to find more about Ava but during the first phone call she gets nothing. During the second call Laney demands to know if Peggy does know something about her and if anything is going on with James. Will Peggy tell her abut the affair?

(Peggy is caught off guard by the question. She stands up out of her comfortable chair and clings on to the phone. Every fiber in her body wants to tell Laney but her conscience is telling her to save James. Deep down inside that was all she wanted to do. She felt as if she owed nothing to Ava.)

Peggy: (defensive)
Why all of a sudden is James brought into the situation?

Laney:
Because Peggy you know as well as I do that the only reason I see that girl or hear from her has to do something with James.

Peggy:
Well I don't

Laney:
Stop giving me bull. I know when you're trying to cover up something. Now spill it.

Peggy:
But I

Laney:
Listen Peg you better tell me everything or else!

Peggy:
Or else what?

Laney:
Or else I'd

Peggy:
You would what?

Laney: (giving up the touch act)
You're right. I guess I would never do anything to do you. You’re my best friend in the whole wide world.

Peggy:
Then that's why I have to tell you what I know.

Laney:
Please I think that I deserve it.

Peggy:
Once I tell you though, there’s something that I need you to do for me.

Laney:
Anything.

Peggy:
You can't tell James that I told you. If he knows that I said something then he would never trust me again.


Laney:
That depends.

Peggy:
Upon what?

Laney:
Upon how bad the situation is. If it is that bad.

Peggy:
It is that bad.

Laney:
I can take it.

Peggy:
James is having an affair with Ava!

(That evening at the River Teal Blake sits at a table with his parents Katrina and Edmund. Everyone is dressed up nice as they wait for their other guests to arrive. Blake was a bit nervous but when his father smiled at him, he was calmed.)

Katrina:
I'm so happy to finally be able to meet this girl.

Edmund:
I am too. I bet she's a very attractive girl on the inside and out.

Blake:
You know that looks don't always matter but yes I'm very attracted to her and her personality.

Edmund:
That's always a good thing.

Katrina:
Maybe that's why I married your father.

Blake:
Why?

Katrina:
Because he was so handsome. And

Edmund: (joking)
Full of money.

Katrina:
I wasn't going to say that. Your father and I met whenever we were both working at a store that went out of business along time ago in Pittsburgh. There were four of us. I liked this one guy but it never worked out and your father liked this other girl but it never worked out for him so we gave it a try and here we are today.

Blake:
You used to tell me that story all the time. Then you would say that one day you'll find the girl of your dreams and that day has come.


(London walks in with her parents Patricia and Gavin Tyler. They are dressed nice with a hippy style to them which makes Katrina gawk to herself.)

Blake:
She's here.


(London walks over to the table and puts out her hand.)

London:
Hi I'm London, Blake's fiancée.


(Katrina and Edmund give a disappointed look to each other while shaking the Tyler’s hand.)
_______________________________________Lenvy100.jpgtrella100.jpg
(Lenvy opens her door to let Trella into her room.)

Lenvy:
Hey.

Trella:
Hey. Is something big going on at that church around the corner?

Lenvy:
I think some rich kid is going to get married there but I wasn't invited so I don't give a damn.

Trella:
Rich kids seem to rule this school. Believe me, I’ve served enough of them. So…are you feeling better?

Lenvy: (confused)
Better?

Trella:
I thought that you might have canceled because you were feeling sick or something.

Lenvy:
No I cancelled because I was just really busy and I couldn't go out. I felt bad though.

Trella:
Don't worry about it. Anyway why don't you and your boy friend come over to The River Teal tomorrow night to see me.

Lenvy:
I don't know if he or I could afford that.

Trella:
It's on the house.

Lenvy:
Are you sure?

Trella:
People do it all the time. You just don't tell anyone and no one will ever know.

Lenvy:
Maybe I will.


(Will slightly opens the door and overhears Lenvy and Trella's conversation.)

Lenvy:
What do you have planned for today?

Trella:
I was going to go to the library to do some research.

Lenvy:
About what?

Trella:
About my friend Zak. I haven't found him yet and I know that this is the place he last said he was going to be, so I just want to see if he is located on the school directory or something like that.

Will: (to himself)
I have to stop her from going!


(Will begins to dig through his pocket until he pulls out what looks to be a sharp metal key. He makes his way to Trella's car and stoops down low to her white El Camino.)

Will:
There's no way that you're going to find out that you're little boy friend died. I'll make sure of that!


(Before doing anything, he looks around to see if anyone will notice him, but the coast is clear. Will plunges the key into Trella's front tire as a hissing sound begins to go off.)
__Blake100.jpgkatrina100.jpgedmund100.jpgLondon100.jpgpatricia100.jpggavin100.jpg
(Back at The River Teal, everyone gets settled and the food is served. The table is quiet and silently tense.)

Katrina:
So London where are you from?

London:
I'm from Ohio.

Edmund:
And what are you studying?

London:
Undecided.

Edmund: (sarcastic)
There's many interesting fields there.


(Everyone but London laughs.)

Patricia:
And Blake what do you do and where do you come from?

Gavin:
I just love the third degree burn that we are giving our kids.

Blake:
I don't mind that at all. My family and I are from Cody, Colorado. My major is business and I soon hope to maybe one day own a company or something like that.

Patricia:
Now you two must be proud of your son.

Katrina:
Oh we are. And you two must be proud of you daughter.

Gavin:
She is the best.


(The waiter comes by and gives everyone a bottle of champagne and it makes London quiver knowing that she can’t have any.)

Patricia:
Whose idea was this?

Edmund:
I thought that a little bit of a celebration was in order.


(Blake looks at London who is now petrified.)

Blake: (whispering to London)
What's wrong?

London: (whispering back)
Nothing.

Patricia:
Your family sure does have fancy taste, just like that nice rock you put on my daughter's finger.

Katrina:
Blake is just like his father. He not only looks like him but he also has the nice taste like him. How did you two meet Patricia and Gavin?

Gavin:
I met Patricia in college and after we had been friends for a year, then dated for another two years, I decided to pop the question during our pottery classes. I hid the ring in her creation which we had to clean off together but very much worth it.

Patricia:
It was the sweetest thing ever. Then we had Bradley, Joanie, and London.

Blake:
Are they coming to the wedding?

Gavin:
They should be on their way as we speak. Bradley is a lawyer and Joanie and her husband just got time off from their New York stock jobs to come to Cody.

London:
Can't wait to see the whole gang.

Katrina:
London your champagne is getting warm. Are you allergic to it or something?

Blake:
Actually

Gavin: (to London)
Are you okay dear?

London:
I

Patricia:
Obviously she wants to lose some weight a mother always notices those kinds of things and

London:
That's not it! I'm…pregnant!

______________________________________bradley100.jpgjoanie100.jpgderek100.jpg
(On the air plane Joanie and Derek Havenworth sit next to Joanie's brother Bradley Tyler.)

Bradley:
Do you guys know why this wedding is going on?

Derek:
I think that your sister is closest to the bride to be.

Joanie:
She told me that she was in love with this guy and she wants to be with him forever and ever.

Derek:
Kind of like us?

Joanie:
Yes, kind of like us.

Bradley:
That's bull!

Joanie:
I also did my research and know that this Blake kid is rich and if we play our cards right then maybe the Tyler and Hammerton clan can produce big bucks.

Derek:
Interesting!

Bradley:
I'm not buying it. The only reason I'd think that our little sissy would get married is out of being the result of a condom breaking.

Joanie:
If she is I'm sure that she would have told mom and dad by now.

__Blake100.jpgkatrina100.jpgedmund100.jpgLondon100.jpgpatricia100.jpggavin100.jpg
(Everyone except for Blake and London are shocked from what London has just told them.)

Patricia:
You’re- You’re pregnant?

London:
Yeah mom I am.

Gavin:
Honey, that’s a big thing you know. Literally.

Edmund:
Blake is this the real reason why you two are getting married? I can understand if it is. It’s good that you’re taking responsibility for your actions.

Katrina: (stern)
For both of your actions might I add!

Blake:
No, that is definitely not the reason why London and I are getting married. We’re in love with each other.

London:
It’s not Blake’s baby.


(The parents are even more shocked from London’s news.)

Gavin:
Then who’s the father?

London:
John Snaldry is.

Patricia:
Your ex boy friend from Ohio? Does he even know about it?

London:
Of course he does. The reason why I came to this school was to tell him about it. I ended up liking it here and then I fell in love with Blake!

Edmund:
This is big news.

Katrina:
I’m sorry but there is no way in hell that we are going to stand for this wedding.

Patricia:
I agree with you Katrina.

Edmund:
Same here.

Gavin:
I further that.


(London stands up.)

London:
All I wanted was a wonderful wedding day. Every girl dreams of it. You all ruined it!


(London storms out of the restaurant.)

Blake:
Thanks a lot.


(Blake goes after her.)

Katrina:
Anyone for more champagne?

______________________________________Nan100.jpgOwen100.jpgtanisha100.jpg
(Nan goes to The Palace Café and sits by herself. She then sees Owen walk in with Tanisha.)

Nan:
Hello Owen.

Owen:
Oh hi.

Nan:
What no introductions?

Owen:
Tanisha this is Nan Sheridan, Nan this is Tanisha.

Tanisha:
Aren’t you in my Business Management class?

Nan:
Yeah I think I am.

Tanisha:
Aren’t you the one who got hit by the drunk kid?

Nan:
Yeah that would be me.

Tanisha:
Didn’t your twin sister die?

Nan:
Yes again.

Tanisha:
I thought I recognized you. You’re like famous on this campus. Maybe that whole saying of there’s no news like bad news really works for you.

Nan: (sarcastic)
It was very nice to meet you.


(Owen and Tanisha sit two tables behind Nan.)

Owen:
That was a wonderful introduction.

Tanisha:
That’s the only way I ever knew who that girl was. How do you know her?

Owen:
It’s a long story.

Tanisha:

I have time.

Owen:
She is sort of like my ex in a really twisted way. She tricked me into thinking that she was her twin sister Tracie and then I fell for it, got my heart broken, and for a little while there was treading on the dark side.

Nan (overhearing Owen):
Not true!

Owen: (to Nan)
Mind your own business!

Tanisha:
Just forget about her. Focus on the wedding. Is there something going on with the groom and his friends?

Owen:
I was invited to a bachelor party and I think that Alexia is having something for London.

Tanisha:
Tomorrow is going to be great. We’re going to go to the Cody Chapel and we’re going to watch the blessing of Blake and London getting married. What’s wonderful is that you have a lot to do with that.

Owen:
That is pretty cool. After all that is happened.


(Nan’s ears begin to perk up as she hears the news that Blake and London are getting married.)

Nan: (quietly to herself)
A wedding so soon? Over my dead body!


(Nan gets up and leaves the café.)
___________________________________________
(James and Laney sit in their kitchen table as James begins to read the Point Palace Inquiry.)

James:
Did you hear about that one student getting married?

Laney:
Who is that?

James:
Blake Hammerton. I never had him, what about you?

Laney:
I had him for a semester.

James:
Were you invited to the wedding?

Laney:
No were you?

James:
No. I probably wouldn’t have gone if I was.


(The phone rings and James is quick to get up.)

James:
I’ll get it.

Laney: (sternly)
Oh no you don’t! Allow me.


(Laney leaves to get the phone as James stares at the paper.)

James:
Please don’t be Ava!

__bpar1.jpg
(In the hotel foyer of The Pointe, Blake summons his parents Katrina and Edmund as well as London’s parents Gavin and Patricia.)

Edmund:
Son why are we all here? I thought that this matter of marriage was already out of the picture.

Patricia:
Why are we here Blake?

Blake:
I need you all to know something. I came to this school as a young man who wanted to be something of himself. I thought that I had lost everything when I lost a lot of things, like Nan, and some friends of mine who died.

Gavin:
I’m sorry Blake but we’re not here to hear your pity stories.

Katrina:
Oh shut up and let him talk.

Patricia:
Don’t tell him to shut up!

Katrina:
I just did!

Blake:
Both of you stop it! This is why I called you all here. I came to this school not only to find a good education but also to find love. I found it when I met your daughter. She lit up my life and I still didn’t care that she was holding John Snaldry’s child.

Edmund:
Maybe you should have.

Blake:
Mom and Dad. You told me that you should always follow your hearts instincts. Well I did. It’s led me up to this point. I’m marrying London and I want you both to be there. As well as you mister and misses Tyler. It would mean so much to both London and I.


(Blake leaves as everyone looks at each other. There is a moment of silence.)

Edmund:
He has a point.

Gavin:
I’ll be there.

Patricia:
Same here.

Katrina:
But- The whole baby thing. How are they-

Edmund:
Kat!

Katrina: (giving in)
We’ll all be there. I guess that if this girl has made my child this happy and this devoted to fighting for a marriage. Then it’s all worth it.

_________________________________________Lenvy100.jpgWill100.jpg
(Back at Lenvy’s room, Trella has already left and Lenvy and Will are alone together.)

Will:
That is such a damn shame that she hit a flat tire.

Lenvy:
Yeah she was so upset about it too. I guess that she has to buy a spare tire to fix it. I think that it was a good idea for her to have left her car here.

Will:
You’re right. I may not like the girl but at least she has a good head on her shoulders.

Lenvy:
I don’t understand why you don’t like her. It’s almost as if-

Will:
If you’re going to say what I think you’re going to say, then the answer is no. I’m not jealous and I don’t think that she’s taking up all of your time.

Lenvy:
Tell me what tomorrow’s lottery numbers are so that I can go and be rich because you are such a mind reader.

Will:
Well maybe I am worried about us spending less time together.


(Lenvy sits on Will’s lap and faces him.)

Lenvy:
That would never happen.

Will:
Do you think that her car doors are open?

Lenvy:
Probably.

Will:
See what I’m hinting towards?

Lenvy:
I’m not going to do that in my new friend’s stranded car!

Will:
Fine. Let’s go to your bed room.

Lenvy:
Maybe I’m the mind reader because I knew you were going to say that. See you in there.


(Lenvy leaves to go to her bedroom. Will stands up and peeks out of the window at Trella’s car.)

Will:
Trella’s stranded car. Can that girl be any stupider? Oh the possibilities.

__bfrie2.jpg
(The next day, in a separate hotel room at The Pointe Blake throws his party with all of the guys. Dylan, Owen, Carlos, and his other friends are there as well. Bradley and Derek officially meet Blake.)

Bradley:
I’m London’s older brother, Bradley.

Blake:
Nice to meet you.

Derek:
And I’m married to London’s oldest sister Joanie. Derek Havenworth and I guess that you’ll soon be both of our brother in law.

Blake:
It’s great to know that I’m welcomed into the family. I hope that you both enjoy Colorado.

Bradley:
We will.

Derek:
So you’re loa-

Bradley:
We’re going to go and grab a drink!


(Derek and Bradley leave as Dylan approaches Blake.)

Dylan:
Your big day is tomorrow.

Blake:
I can’t believe it’s happening.

Dylan:
Neither can I.

Blake:
I’m so happy that you and everybody else is apart of this. Everyone always thought that out of the group Alley would have been the first to get married.

Dylan:
Please don’t even say that word to me.

Blake:
We also thought that she would have been the first to divorce as well.

Dylan:
Only time will tell.


(John walks into the room and notices Blake and Dylan.)

Blake:
Who invited you?

John:
You did.

Blake:
I certainly did not. If I did then I must have been intoxicated!

Dylan:
Are you ever welcome John?

John:
I’m Carrie’s date.

Dylan:
You two must be getting very serious.

John:
It looks that way.

Dylan:
Have fun whenever she leaves you for another guy.

John:
Sort of like how she left you?


(Dylan turns his back to him.)

Dylan:
If you only knew.

Blake:
London knows that you are coming to the wedding, right?

John:
I believe she does.

Blake:
Then we should both be civil with one another. For London’s sake at least.

John:
Of course.


(Blake puts out his hand as John shakes it.)

John:
Congratulations.

Blake:
Thank you.


(John begins to walks around until Blake stops him.)

Blake:
You know that after the wedding I have to go back to hating you.

John:
Just wait until the baby is born. Then you’re going to hate me even more.

Blake:
More then likely, but for these two days I’m going to consider you a friend.

John:
For London’s sake.

___lfrie.jpg
(London goes to her party that has been thrown by Alexia. All of the girls including Alley, Carrie, Jenny, Ava, Tanisha, and a bunch of other of London’s friends all enjoy themselves, except for the bride to be.)

(Ava sits alone at the party and thinks about James.)

Ava:
If only he could have been my date.


(Alley notices Ava and goes over to talk to her.)

Alley:
Hey you. It’s been a long time since we last spoke.

Ava:
Yeah it has been. Although the first time we met it was sort of awkward for us because of the whole Will thing and all.

Alley:
Anything that deals with Will Pazner is awkward enough. How have you been? I think the last time I saw you, you were in the hospital for something.

Ava:
Wow that was a long time ago, but I’m doing fine. Can’t believe that Blake is getting married already, London seems very nice.

Alley:
Who is your date?

Ava:
A friend from Denver, his name is Logan.

Alley:
There’s something that I’ve always wanted to tell you.

Ava:
What’s that?

Alley:
I always thought that you and Blake could have been more then just friends.

Ava:
That would never happen. Besides, if we were together, this would never be.

Alley:
You’re exactly right! It was nice to see you again.

Ava:
You too.


(Alley leaves to go and mingle.)

Ava:
Of course I wouldn’t have been involved with a married man!

______________________________________________________________________________
(Across the room, London introduces Alexia to her older sister Joanie.)

London:
Joanie this is my wedding planner and my maid of honor Alexia Newlan. Alexia this is my older sister Joanie.

Alexia:
It’s a pleasure to meet you.

Joanie:
I can’t wait to see what you’ve done with this wedding, I bet it’s going to be absolutely spectacular.

Alexia:
Of course it will be. If it isn’t then I might just have to drop out of college!


(The girls giggle.)

Joanie:
I’m going to go around and mingle. Where’s mom?

London:
I’m not sure that she’s coming.

Joanie:
I bet she will be soon.

London:
Yeah right.


(Joanie leaves as London sits down on the couch and Alexia sits down next to her.)

Alexia:
What’s wrong, London?

London:
Oh nothing.

Alexia:
You always are a good actress. How can you not be happy? Blake got out of the hospital, Nan is going to be stopped soon enough, and everyone is going to watch you get your man.

London:
My parents know about my pregnancy.

Alexia:
I thought that they already did.

London:
They had no idea. So when they saw me, they thought that I had grown fatter, and when I told them that I was pregnant, all of the parents, including Blake’s, thought that it was ours.

Alexia:
Until you explained to them that it wasn’t.

London:
Of course and that just made the situation worse because Blake’s parents don’t want me to marry their son and vice versa with mine.

Alexia:
Who cares if you and your parents are fighting or if Blake’s parents don’t approve.


(Alley interrupts them as she is about to leave.)

Alley:
I had fun but I think it’s time to go. You have a big day ahead of you tomorrow.

London:
It means a lot to both me and Blake that you are a part of this wedding.

Alley:
I’m here mostly for Blake!

London:
I know that underneath that whole bitchy shell that you hide yourself in is a sweet and loving person, who would do anything for her best friend.


(Alley smiles at the sincere backhanding comment.)

Alley:
Great job with the wedding planning Lexi.

Alexia:
Thanks.

Alley: (To London)
Just remember what I said. You break his heart. I’ll break your face.


(Alley and London forcefully hug each other. Alley leaves.)

Alexia:
See, things are even going better with you and Alley.

London:
I don’t think she would have to worry about me breaking Blake’s heart.

Alexia:
I don’t think any of us would have to worry about that.

London:
You’re right about that. I don’t think that there is going to be a wedding tomorrow.

Alexia:
What?

London:
If there’s no bride, then there is no ceremony!

__bwed.jpg
(The day of the wedding has just begun. All of the guests are sitting down and waiting patiently to see Blake Hammerton and London Tyler get married. Owen, Blake, and Dylan walk down the isle and turn around to begin to wait for the bridesmaid.)

Dylan (whispers to Blake):
This is it. Are you nervous?

Blake:
Of course I am.


(Alexia is the first to walk down the isle, followed by Alley as they are all dressed in light pink formal dresses. Alley winks at Dylan and Alexia smiles at her brother who sticks his tongue out at her. Blake begins to smile even more as he waits for his bride. The organist plays “Here comes the bride” as every guest stands up. The music goes on a little longer as no one comes out yet.)

Blake:
What’s going on?

Dylan: (confused)
Where is she?

Blake:
Is she going to show?
