650 views

Previously on Point Palace:


- Edmund explained to Blake how he bought the rights off of the ex President, who wanted to actually
give the school to him, but Edmund wanted to give it to Blake. Everyone is shocked but even though
he knows how young and inexperienced he is, Blake is ready for the task.

- Trella gets an application off of Ginny for the café because she was late for work, due to Will (which
she still doesn’t know about), and Lenvy begins to wonder where her purse went (still not knowing that
Will planted it in Trella’s car.)

- John and Carrie have an awkward confrontation with London’s family about the soon to be born
baby.

- Alley feels as if she and Dylan should have a piece of the action in Blake’s new position.

- As the sun begins to go down, in their honeymoon hotel room, at the beach, Blake and London
(although they worry about the baby) decide to make love for the first time.

- Carlos told off Nick before Nick could fire him, he decided to quit working at the hospital and told
him how he truly felt. With Jenny by his side, he left, but a mysterious older woman witnessed it all and
followed him.

- Owen has a new bet with Tanisha over whether or not he can act British for a whole day.

- Nan finds out about Blake’s new position, does some research, and finds the young Vice President
named Bryan Danniels would be selected for seduction so that she can have Blake thrown out.

- The next day, Ava goes over to James’s house, after calling him and thinking that no one was there, but instead finds Laney. The two exchange some words until a nasty cat fight, had Laney falling down a flight of stairs.
When she hits the last step, Peggy opens the door to find her neck broken, and looks up at Ava and
says “You Killed Her!”

(Ava begins to slowly walk down the steps. Peggy keeps her eyes on Laney’s lifeless body. Ava can do nothing but continue to shake, not knowing what to do, or what was going to happen next. If only she could take back what just happened.)

Peggy:
How could you? You killed her! You killed Laney!

Ava:
Call an ambulance.

Peggy:
I’m calling the police and James to tell them how you’re a murderer. You are some kind of psychotic sicky who deserves to be locked up!

Ava:
Shut up! This is all your fault. You couldn’t keep your big mouth shut.


(Peggy uses her cell phone and dials 911.)

Peggy:
My friend fell down a flight of steps, I don’t know what exactly happened, but she’s hurt badly. Please send someone quick. 212 Gilway Drive. Also I’m with -


(Ava smacks the cell phone out of her hands as it hangs up upon hitting the floor.)

Peggy:
What did you do that for?

Ava:
It was an accident.

Peggy (in hysterics and with tears in her eyes):
This was no accident! You killed Laney! You killed my best friend!


(Ava, without even thinking, raises her hand and slaps her across the face.)

Ava:
Calm down!


(James opens the door to find Ava)

James:
Ava now is not the -


(James notices Laney’s body.)

James: (shocked)
Laney?


_________________________________________________________Carlos100.jpgJenny100.jpgCarina100.jpg
(In his room, Carlos is frustrated and mad, as Jenny sits next to him on his bed.)

Jenny:
The way you stood up for me today, really showed how much of a man you really are. Agatha should be thankful too.

Carlos:
Being a man isn’t about standing up for what’s right. No one can define manhood. The only thing I did was stood up for something that had been a pain in my ass for way too long.

Jenny:
What do you plan on doing now?

Carlos:
That’s something that I didn’t even think of. Everything happened so fast. The only thing that was rushing through my mind was how much I just wanted to punch him in the face. To see him fall to the ground. It would have satisfied me so much just to see him get hurt. Having him know that he truly can’t boss me around!

Jenny:
Obviously you can’t go back there.

Carlos:
If I really wanted to I could. All of my life I wanted to be a doctor and to help people. But after seeing what Nick did to me. Well, it just made me see how much one person can do to destroy a dream.

Jenny:
The only thing that Nick showed was how much of an evil dictator one can be. He kind of reminds me of Nan.

Carlos:
That’s one person I can go a whole day without talking about.

Jenny:
Hear me out. When I was best friends with Nan, she would always push me around. Tell me what to do even if I didn’t want to do it. If I begged or pleaded with her that it wasn’t necessary, well she would just threaten that I could kiss my reputation goodbye. For a while I actually believed that she could do it.

Carlos:
Then the whole baby thing really happened right?

Jenny:
As I was saying. Nan wanted me to kill Alley Robberts, I think you might have seen her at the wedding. I went through with it, but made sure that Alley wasn’t dead. I liked Alley a lot. Then I decided to go through with ending my friendship with Nan, by making her have a miscarriage, and setting a lot lives free. Kind of like what you did. You stood up and now no one can hurt you anymore.

Carlos:
Nan comes after you all of the time. Look at how she almost broke us up before.

Jenny:
Yeah but time after time I stand up to the bitch and have her see who truly is the boss!

Carlos:
Now I need to find a new job. That’s going to be so hard. I didn’t even think of the consequences.

Jenny:
Something will come around.


(There’s a knock on Carlos’s door.)

Carlos:
It’s probably either the daughter of Lucifer or Doctor Dictator.

Jenny:
I’ll get it then.


(Jenny answers the door to find the older lady who followed them out of the hospital. She has curly black hair and a lot of make up on.)

Jenny:
Can I help you?

Cairina:
No, but I can help you.


_____________________________________________________________________Dylan100.jpgAlley100.jpg
(Dylan and Alley begin to talk in Alley’s room. Dylan lies down on her bed as he holds her and lightly strokes her hair.)

Alley:
I can hear your heart beating.

Dylan:
It’s beating for you.


Alley:
What are you thinking about?

Dylan:
I have a lot on my mind. Maybe too much for you to handle.

Alley:
Tell me.

Dylan:
For one thing, I’m worried about you.

Alley:
About me? What would you have to worry about me for?

Dylan:
I need for you to go my friend.

Alley:
When?

Dylan:
Next week. Early as possible. You have to tell me the truth…are you worried?

Alley:
Yeah, I am. I think that there might be a possibility that I could be pregnant but I could always just buy a pregnancy test and –

Dylan:
It would be better if you saw a doctor.

Alley:
I’d do anything for you.

Dylan:
It’s not for me. Well it is but it’s mostly for us.

Alley:
Yes I’ll go and see your friend.


(Dylan gets a phone call. He gets off of her bed to answer it.)

Dylan:
Hey. Yeah I’m sort of busy but I’ll call you back. Thanks. Bye.


(Dylan hangs up and turns to her.)

Alley:
Who was that?

Dylan:
A friend.

Alley:
Does you friend have a name?

Dylan:
Neb.

Alley:
Your friend’s name is Neb?

Dylan:
First name Neb last name Nose.

Alley:
Neb Nose? You’re bad!

Dylan:
I know. I should get going.


(Dylan bends down to kiss her and he does.)

Dylan:
Bye.

Alley:
Bye.


(Dylan begins to head for the door.)

Alley: (calling out to him)
Oh and Dylan!

Dylan:
Yes?

Alley:
You’re lucky that Neb wasn’t Carrie because I would have broken someone’s nose.


(Dylan blows her a kiss and walks out. When he shuts the door behind him, he leans against it.)

Dylan:
I just hope that I can pull this off. Carrie and I can have closure and Alley and I can stay together!


_________________________________________________________Carlos100.jpgJenny100.jpgCarina100.jpg
(Jenny looks at the woman and begins to get a smitten look on her face.)

Jenny:
Sorry we don’t answer the door to sales people.

Cairina:
If you hear me out, I’m sure that you’ll realize by shutting the door on me, could be shutting the door on a very important future.

Jenny:
What future? What are you talking about lady?

Cairina:
There was a young man who I witnessed with much fire in his eyes and through his words today at Cody Memorial. He has inspired me to come here.

Jenny:
Carlos, it’s for you. You’re not a cop right?

Cairina: (joking)
Of course not, if I was, I would have busted the door down already.


(Jenny begins to snicker as Carlos comes to the door.)

Cairina:
Hola.

Carlos:
Hola.

Cairina:
Como estas?

Carlos:
Muoy Mal. Gracias. Espagnol?

Cairina:
Si. Meyamo Cairina Gortiez.

Jenny:
I get the connection that you two can both speak Spanish.

Caros:
My name is Carlos DeViego.

Cairina:
A true Latin! You’re exactly what I’m looking for.

Carlos:
For what?

Cairina:
Have you seen the show “Blue Crystal?”

Jenny:
I watch when I get a chance.

Carlos:
Sometimes.

Cairina:
I’m the casting director and I think that you would be perfect for the role as Miguel Alejandro.

Carlos:
Let me get this straight. You followed me all the way from Cody Memorial just to offer me a job on a teen soap opera?

Cairina:
That’s exactly right.

Jenny:
That’s amazing. Carlos you should definitely do it.

Cairina:
The way you were yelling at that doctor today. It showed me how much passion you have. If you can do that again and again on camera, then baby you’re a natural and you didn’t even know it. So do we have a deal Carlos?

Carlos:
What is the character like?

Cairina:
Curious. That’s a great attribute to have. Miguel Alejandro is supposed to be a Latin lover who woos his way into a girl who has just currently broken up with her boy friend.

Jenny:
Typical teen soap.

Carlos: (after thinking)
You have yourself a deal!


(Carlos shakes Cairina’s hand.)

_________________________________________________Owen100.jpgGinny100.jpgtanisha100.jpg
(Owen walks into the café, looks around and finds no sign of Tanisha. He walks over to the empty counter to find Ginny, smiling and ready to serve him.)

Ginny:
Welcome to The Palace Café, what can I get for ya?

Owen (in his British accent):
I’m not really sure yet. Maybe I’ll get the-

Ginny:
Are you British?

Owen:
Sure. Yes I am.

Ginny:
Really? That’s amazing. What part of England are you from?

Owen:
London.

Ginny:
I love London.

Owen:
It’s not all that daft, but it’s nice, it’s home.

Ginny:
What part of London?

Owen:
Uh-Um. Notting Hill.

Ginny:
It must be beautiful. I’ve seen you around but I don’t think I’ve ever helped you before. My name is Ginny Coy. And you are?

Owen:
Owen Newlan.

Ginny:
Whatever you get it will be on the house.

Owen:
Well in that case then, I’ll get a Blueberry Swizzle.


(Tanisha opens the door and sees Ginny and Owen flirting.)

Tanisha:
Oh hell no!


(Tanisha makes her way over to the counter.)

Owen: (noticing her)
Hello there.

Ginny:
Can I help you?

Tanisha:
No I’m fine. Just came to check up on my friend here.


(Ginny leaves to go and get Owen’s drink.)

Tanisha:
I guess I’ll have to keep up my end of the bargain.

Owen:
Or maybe you can buy me some tea. Us Brits do love our tea.


___________________________________________________________________Blake100.jpgLondon100.jpg
(Blake walks into the Admission Building of the school, with London by his side.)

London:
Nervous?

Blake:
Yeah just a little. First days are always the worst on any job. You never know what to do or what they want for you to do.

London:
Don’t worry about anything, you’re going to be fine. Besides if you don’t get along with them, you can always fire them and get replacements. In speaking of replacements, what do you have in mind for job positions for your friends?

Blake:
My wife has to come first, does she want to do anything?

London:
Not a thing.

Blake:
Then I’m thinking of putting my two best friends on the board. They could have a huge impact and would help me out a lot.


(They both get to the boardroom door)

Blake:
Well, this is it.


(Blake opens the door to his new future)

____________________________________________________________________Dylan100.jpgCarrie100.jpgJohn100.jpg
(Alone in his room, Dylan calls Carrie on his cell phone.)

Carrie (shaky):
Hello?

Dylan:
It’s me.

Carrie:
You’re on my caller ID. Why didn’t you call the room phone?

Dylan:
I wasn’t sure if you would be in or not. Besides I wouldn’t want to leave a message and have your boy friend find out that I called to tell you about an appointment you have with a gyno.

Carrie:
I’m sure that you like saying that word.

Dylan:
Are you alone?

Carrie:
For now. What about you?

Dylan:
Same here.

Carrie:
So, when is the appointment?

Dylan:
Next week. I’m going to bring Alley in an hour before you go in.

Carrie:
What should I tell John? He’s already suspicious of us actually talking.

Dylan:
More like paranoid. Sometime ago he threatened or at least tried to threaten me by warning me to stay away from his pride and joy.

Carrie:
What about your girl friend? I bet if she found out that you were even on the phone with me right now. She would probably freak out and start throwing punches.

Dylan:
Alley has no idea. Just fake like you have something wrong with you and say that your going to the hospital.

Carrie:
Wouldn't it just be easier if I pee-

Dylan:
NO! This is much more defiant than a medical box, plus it's less risky for us!

Carrie:
Fine. Next time that you call me, block your number. I hope the next time you plan to sleep with your ex you have the common sense to protect yourself!

Dylan:
You were the sober one. Bye.


(Dylan and Carrie hang up with one another.)

Carrie:
What have I gotten myself into?


(Before Carrie can even sit down there is a knock on her door. She answers it to find John.)

John:
Hey sweetie.

Carrie:
Hi.


(John kisses Carrie.)

John:
Were you talking to someone on the phone?


___board1.jpg
(Blake walks into a sun lit board room where the three board room members, and Leon Kain, stand up to greet him.)

Leon:
I couldn’t resist taking a picture of the new President on his first day.

Blake:
Only if you get my good side.


(Leon takes a picture of London and Blake together.)

Leon:
Well that’s all I need. Oh and by the way, your wedding photos look fabulous, and they’ll be in soon.

London:
Thank you so much Leon.


(Leon exits. Lanoi Dickson, an older graying slender and elegant woman walks over to greet him.)

Lanoi:
Blake I’m so happy to have you on board.

Blake:
It’s great to be on, Lanoi.


(Benjamin Cliffside, a not as older man with thick black hair, gets up and greets him as well.)

Benjamin:
I must agree with Lanoi.

Blake:
Without a secretary like Lanoi and someone who is good with money like yourself, then we couldn’t be a complete team.

Bryan:
And without the vice president, your right hand man, that is what would properly make it a full team. A full board actually.

Blake:
Bryan Danniels?

Bryan:
Let’s just hope you’ve done more research then my full name.

Blake:
I have. Oh and by the way this is my wife London Tyler. London this is Secretary Lanoi Dickson. Treasurer Benjamin Cliffside. And my new right hand man, as he points out, Vice President Bryan Danniels.


(Everyone nods at London.)

London:
Nice meeting you all. Hope to see more of you. Goodbye.
(winking at Blake)
Bye hun.


(London exits.)

Blake:
Now let’s get this meeting started. The first thing that I wanted to let everyone know was that you really can’t judge a book by its cover. You see me. I look young and inexperienced. One should never assume because everyone knows the saying behind that. I may be young but I know what I’m doing. I love this school with all my heart and all of my soul. There’s no “I” in team, nor is there an “I” in the word board. With all of our efforts put together. We will make sure that Point Palace University, will be the best college that it has been from all of these years in the past and the years to come.


(Bryan Daniels begins to ignore Blake and write on his pad of paper in front of him. He begins to write the words “big mistake.”)

__________________________________________________Carrie100.jpgJohn100.jpg
(Carrie stares deeply into John’s eyes.)

Carrie:
You ask it like I was doing something wrong.

John:
Were you?


(John moves in closer to Carrie.)

Carrie:
No I was just talking to one of my girl friends.

John:
Let me see your caller ID.

Carrie:
Maybe you-

John:
Should I tickle you until I can get to your cell phone.


(John begins to tickle her stomach and then kisses her cheek. Carrie laughs as he does it. Suddenly there is a knock on Carrie’s door.)

John:
If we don’t move at all, they’ll go away.

Carrie:
I doubt it.


(Carrie opens the door but finds no one.)

John:
Who was it?

Carrie:
No one.


(Alley slowly begins to tip toe away from her room.)

Alley:
Not today.


________________________________avatrap2.jpg
(James slowly walks into the door way and bends over.)

James:
Laney? What happened to Laney?

Peggy:
You’re little mistress over here pushed her and killed her. I saw everything.


(James looks up at Ava with concerned eyes.)

James:
Is this true?

Ava:
No. It was an accident and it all happened so fast. I came over to talk to you, and then I found her upstairs. I tried to leave but we shared a few words and then we started to get physical. By-

James:
Anyone knows that violence can lead to bad things! When the mind sees red, it can’t stop or think of what to do next.

Peggy:
It doesn’t take a psychologist to figure out that one! Basically she’s admitting to killing your wife.

Ava:
No I’m not. Like I said, it was an accident.

Peggy:
Then how did she fall down the steps?

Ava:
She grabbed onto my shirt, lost her balance, and fell. James. I’m so sorry. Are you alright?


(James scoops up Laney’s weightless body and hugs her.)

James:
No. None of this can be happening. None of this can be a reality.


(Police sirens are heard from outside of the house.)

Peggy:
Explain it to the police!


__________________________________________________________Bryan100.jpgNan100.jpg
(After the board, meeting Bryan is the first one to leave in disgust.)

Bryan:
Knows what to do my ass! This school will go down faster then the Titanic itself.


(Bryan begins to walk down the hallway but when he does, a hand touches his shoulder.)

Bryan:
What the- ?


(Bryan turns around to find Nan in a revealing dress.)

Nan:
Do you like what you see?

Bryan:
I don’t even know who you are.

Nan:
I didn’t ask if you knew who I was. I asked if you like what you see!

Bryan: (licking his lips)
Yes. Yes I do.


(Nan jumps on top of Bryan and begins to kiss him fiercely.)

Bryan:
Someone might see. We can go to my office down the hall.


(Bryan and Nan quickly go into Bryan’s office. Bryan shuts the door and locks it behind him.)

Bryan:
Much better!


(Bryan picks up Nan and lifts her onto his desk. She rips off his tie and pulls open his shirt as she kisses his neck. Bryan puts his hand on her back and takes off her bra. He then pulls open down her dress.)

Nan:
You and I will make a great team.

Bryan:
Against what?

Nan:
Blake Hammerton!


___________________________________________________witrellen.jpg
(Over in Lenvy’s room, she begins to frantically look for her purse, as Will sits around and studies.)

Will:
You’re worrying over nothing.

Lenvy:
I’m hearing this out of someone who claimed that they thought someone had stole it!

Will:
I seriously believe that someone took it, not mentioning names, Trella Lopez.

Lenvy:
Why do you hate her so much?

Will:
Because she’s trash.

Lenvy:
If you’re just going to sit there, and not help me look for it, then you don’t have room to criticize my friends!


(There is knock on Lenvy’s door. She answers it to find Trella.)

Trella:
Girl are you still looking for your purse?

Lenvy:
I can’t find it anywhere.

Trella:
I’ll help you look for it.

Lenvy:
Thank you so much. You’re being a bigger help then mister do nothing over there.


(Will snickers at the comment.)

Trella:
Honey, a man can’t do anything when it comes to finding things. In the light or in the dark.


(Will makes a weird and disgusted face at her.)

Will:
Excuse me. I guess that I will make myself useful and look outside. You might have dropped it out there or something.

Lenvy:
All you have to do is just insult them and they feel the need to get up and do something.

Will:
I bet I’ll find it.

Lenvy:
I hope you do.


(Will goes outside and looks at Trella’s car.)

Trella:
That girl should have walked to the room. She’s so stupid!


(Will opens the back seat of Trella’s car.)

Will: (sarcastic)
Oh look what I found.


(Will takes the purse out of Trella’s back seat.)

Will (shouting):
Lenvy, Trella. I found it!


(Lenvy and Trella come outside.)

Trella:
Where was it?


(Lenvy gets it back from him.)

Lenvy:
I’m curious myself.

Will:
I found it in the back seat of Trella’s car. It looks like your new best friend has a lot of explaining to do!


_____________________________________________________________London100.jpgAlexia100.jpg
(At ‘The River Teal,’ London and Alexia have a late lunch.)

Alexia:
How’s the fairy tale going for you Cinderella?

London:
It just doesn’t stop. All of this is just so much. The past few weeks and even months have just been-

Alexia:
Mesmerizing?

London:
Yes. One day I’m stuck in Ohio going out with a wannabe photographer, get pregnant, and then the next I end up at a school where I’m playing psychological games and then get married to a young president of the school.

Alexia:
You deserve it. You know that I feel bad for what I did to you both. I was being stupid.

London:
Blake and I already forgave you for that.

Alexia:
It’s good that the past is the past.


(London raises her glass of iced tea.)

London:
Here’s to a past that we will be forever happy to never look back on. And to a future that we’ll look forward to.


(Alexia clinks her glass of Shirley Temple with hers.)

Alexia:
I’ll drink to that.


(Both girls drink. Alexia gets a phone call.)

London:
Is it Owen calling you?

Alexia:
Probably. Sorry.


(Alexia answers the phone.)

Alexia:
Hello?


(Alexia here’s heavy breathing on the other end.)

Alexia:
Hello, is anyone there?


(The breathing gets louder and heavier.)

Alexia: (not amused)
This is real funny.


(The caller begins to laugh hysterically. The laugh is high pitched but strong.)

Alexia:
Nice try for a prank.


(Alexia hangs up the phone.)

London:
Who was it?

Alexia:
Someone who was just screwing around. Probably Owen.


______________avatrap.jpg
(The police knock on James’s door. Ava who was sitting on the last step gets up out of concern. Peggy was smiling to know who was going to talk to Ava next.)

Peggy:
I’ll get it.

James:
NO! This is my house. I’ll get it.


(James opens it to find Officer Wendell with his badge in hand.)

Officer Wendell:
We got a phone call about a domestic murder. May we come in or would you like a warrant?

James:
That won’t be necessary. Come in.


(Officer Wendell walks in and sees both Ava and Peggy near Laney’s body. Officer Wendell pulls out his radio.)

Officer Wendell:
Can I get an ambulance over at 212 Gilway Drive. Thank you. Someone will be over here shortly. There might be something that we can do to save her.

Peggy: (pointing at Ava)
She killed her. That girl right there.

Officer Wendell:
Is this true?

Ava: (shakey)
I’m not going to admit to a murder that I didn’t do. It was an accident. I- We were fighting and-

Officer Wendell:
You should never become a lawyer. You just incriminated yourself.


(Officer Wendell pulls out hand cuffs and begins to take her hands behind her back.)

Officer Wendell:
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be held against you. You will be appointed in a court of a law. If you don’t have a lawyer one will be appointed for you.


(Ava looks at James, who has a listless look on his face. She begins to shake her head and a tear comes out.)

Peggy:
Good. She deserves this! She deserves this!


(Officer Wendell places Ava into the back seat of the cop car. Another cop comes by and begins to write things down. The ambulance come by behind them, while other cops arrive on the scene.)

Officer Wendell: (to the other cops)
She’s going to jail. Believe me I have the authority to do it and I did.


(Officer Wendell shuts the car door. Ava looks up at the house and can’t believe that she is getting arrested nor can she believe the horrific scene that is gong on. The car begins to drive away to the county jail.)

====================================================
Who is calling Alexia? Can Bryan and Nan get back at Blake? Will Dylan and Carrie get caught by Alley and John? What will Trella say to Will and Lenvy? Will the new job help Carlos and Jenny? What will happen to Ava now that she is arrested? Find out on the next exciting episode of Point Palace.

This was by far the best eppy of PP so far from what I read. So much is going on.

I LOVE Carlos and this teen soap thing

I thought Alley was already tested along with Carrie, maybe not, but I got a feeling something is going to happen when they go, like run into each other.

I love the British accent thing. I could really imagine all that in my head. and that infamous "O Hell NO!! By Tanisha, I loved it.

I am in love with Nan. I swear her and Natalia could be sisters. They act SO MUCH ALIKE. It's is so funny how Nan meets Bryan. Trust me when I say that. ;)

And I wonder who really is calling Alexia?

And again I love the Trella/will/ storyline. Very entertaining eppy Matt.
