- Nick helps Jenny move back into her room. Jenny continues to think that Nick is her one and only. When he gets her situated, he finds a tape that Carlos made for her, it was an episode of “Blue Crystal,” that had Carlos’s character (Miegel) leave town. Just like Jenny wanted.
- Dylan was told that Carrie can be released. He then hires a psychiatrist (Dr. Elizabeth Reed) to examine Carrie’s childlike behavior.
- Ginny takes Nate up on his offer. He tells her to forget about Owen by sleeping with him. She tells him, only if it means that they can go out. He lies to her and agrees to it.

Overdose
- - -
(London nudges on Blake’s arm to know what it is that he found.)
Spit it out already. What is it?
(Blake picks up Nan’s diary and continues to rummage through it. He stops until he gets to the last page.)
It’s...it’s Nan’s confession to setting up the gala explosion.
London:
Read it.
Blake:
(reading and imagines Nan’s voice)
Tonight will go as planned. I found a giant waterfall that is centered in the gala stage. Somehow I’ll try to drown something. Then in the kitchen there are these wonderful gas grills. Blake planned some sort of firework showing so that is when I’ll strike, with Bryan’s help of course. All will go kaboom and Blake will be blamed for everything!
There you go. You have your proof that’s needed to clear your name, get back at Nan, and make Bryan look like a fool.
Blake:
This is great. I can finally free myself from any allegations.
London:
I also hope that this proves the theory that she’s dead.
(Blake gets on his cell phone and calls Myra.)
Myra will you please set up a very important meeting for today. Make sure that mister Daniels is there as well.
Myra:
Sure thing Blake. My you sound confident today.
Blake:
Well I have a lot to be confident about. Also, contact Dean Halte and have Nan Sheridan’s things removed. Her family and friends seem to not care to take any of her things, so I want it out A.S.A.P.
Myra:
Will do. He is also contacting the families of those who died to make sure that their belongings are taking care of too.
Blake:
Thank you Myra.
(Blake hangs up with Myra.)
So what do you plan on doing?
Blake:
The ball is in my court.
London:
Yes it is.
Blake:
I knew that she had something to do with it all. This just proves it even more. Nan is going to go to hell for all that she’s done.
London:
You’re one upping her once and for all!
Blake:
Yes...yes I am. It feels so good to win against her. Now I have to fix what she did. That means that I’m going to have throw out the trash! Starting with Brian Daniels.

(After being settled into his room, Carlos returns to Point Palace, with one thing on his mind.
Jenny. He steps out of the elevator and surveys the busy scene at the hospital.)
I do miss it.
(Carlos makes his way to Agatha. She is busy in filling out paper work, while waiting for the phone which would go off sooner or later. Carlos walks behind the desk. He sneaks up behind her and covers her arms.)
Who’s there?
(Carlos is silent. She takes his hands off of her eyes to see who it is.)
(surprised)
Carlos! I’m so happy to see you.
Carlos:
Yeah me too.
(Carlos jumps over the desk.)
You sure are in a good mood.
Carlos:
Well I have every reason to be.
Agatha:
How was your trip?
Carlos:
I won!
Agatha:
Oh that’s great. I knew you had it in you.
Carlos:
Yeah but I have other things to get to now. Excuse me.
(Carlos walks towards Jenny’s room. He was optimistic that she had recovered.)
(calling out to him)
Carlos wait-
(Carlos doesn’t hear her calling him. He walks up to Jenny’s room.)
Where’s her name plate and charts?
(It was all missing. He slowly opens the door. Carlos sees that no one is in there.)
What? She would have called me if she was released. What happened? No, no no she can’t be dead.
(Carlos makes his way back to Carlos’s desk.)
Agatha I have a few questions for you. Like where’s my girlfriend?
Agatha:
Before you were skittering down the hallway, I wanted to tell you that Jenny was released. But you were so far down there, that I figured you would find out yourself.
Carlos:
Whew. That’s great news. It’s just...she didn’t call me. No one did.
Agatha:
I’m sure someone was meaning to.
Carlos:
Yeah. There must be a reasonable explanation for all this. Can I use your phone?
Agatha:
Of course you can, mister teen drama award winner.
(Carlos smiles at the compliment. He then dials Jenny’s room number. On the other end, Jenny wasn’t alone. She was with Carlos’s enemy, Dr. Nicholas Quarr. She answers the phone.)
Hello?
Carlos:
Hey you. It’s so nice to hear that lovely voice of yours.
Jenny:
Um...okay. Can I help you with something?
Carlos:
Just glad to hear that you’re okay.
(Jenny places the phone away from the receiver so that Carlos can’t hear her.)
Who is it?
Jenny:
It’s some guy who I don’t know.
Nick:
Just hang up.
(Jenny removes her hand from the receiver.)
Who is this?
Carlos:
You’re kidding right? Jenny it’s me...Carlos!
Jenny:
And I know you how?
Carlos:
We’re- We’re lovers. You know this.
Jenny:
Lovers? I don’t know anyone named Carlos. Sorry I -
(Nick quickly takes the phone off of Jenny.)
(to Carlos)
Listen buddy, she’s not interested in whatever you’re selling. Good bye!
(Nick hangs up with Carlos.)
(to Jenny)
It must have been some sick pervert. People can be really rude and bored sometimes.
(Nick hugs Jenny. It was a risk that he had to take, what if she remembered something about Carlos. He couldn’t take the chance.)
(Back at the hospital, Carlos looks at the phone with disbelief.)
What’s wrong? You look like you just seen or heard a ghost.
Carlos:
That was Nick’s voice. What the hell would Nick be doing with Jenny?
- - -
(Ginny begins to wipe off a table at The Palace Café. Other employees were waiting on customers as she cleaned up the place. Nate walks in behind her and sits down in a chair in front of her.)
Let me ask you something.
Ginny:
Shoot.
Nate:
This was the first place that we met and I think it’s the only place I ever see you at. Is that all you do?
Ginny: (joking)
Maybe. Sometimes I work so much that I just go in the back and crash. They have sleeping bags for us.
Nate:
The girl’s a comedian too.
Ginny:
Being a comedian probably pays a hell of a lot more than here.
Nate:
(changes the subject)
Did you have fun last night?
Ginny:
Yes. I did.
Nate:
Good. Expect many more nights like that.
Ginny:
There was something that I was meaning to ask you.
Nate:
Since we’re playing learn more about each other. Go ahead and ask me.
Ginny:
Last night when I told you, I wanted you, for you. It means that I wanted more than just sex. I thought that I made it sort of evident. Do you feel the same way?
Nate:
Not to move things too fast here, all I’m going to say is that...I’m having fun getting to know you.
Ginny:
Good answer.
(Ginny leans down and kisses Nate.)
I actually have to go to a school board meeting. Blake called one and it might look good for me.
Ginny:
Good luck in the boardroom.
Nate:
Thanks.
(Nate exits. He walks right past a girl who is reading a book to cover her face. She places it down and looks at Ginny. Ginny walks past her, and Chordelia grabs onto her arm.)
Can I help you?
Chordelia:
No. But I can help you. That was Nate Mavick you were talking to, right?
Ginny:
Yeah. What do you want? Some more coffee?
Chordelia:
Please don’t say that you’re getting involved with him.
Ginny:
That’s really none of your business.
Chordelia:
I am one of his many flings. That guy left me the day after we made love. I thought I was going to go out with him and everything.
(Ginny is shocked.)
Please excuse me.
(Ginny begins to exit until Chordelia stands up to face her.)
If you don’t believe me, then I can prove it to you. We can set him up if you want. His weakness is sex. Any girl who gives it to him, gives him power. Hopefully you’re not one of those girls.
(Chordelia passes her business card to Ginny as she exits and leaves Ginny shockingly confused.)

(In her room, Ava goes to answer the door, after hearing someone knock on it. She opens it to find Sky standing in front of her.)
Hello.
Ava:
Hi.
Sky:
Sorry for coming on such short notice.
Ava:
No. That’s fine. I was meaning to call you anyway. Please come in.
(Sky walks in and Ava closes the door behind them. Instead of making herself at home, she stands in front of Ava.)
Did you get that lock fixed yet?
Ava:
Yeah. Dean Halt came and did a great job. Then again, it’s just a lock.
Sky:
I really feel bad about that.
(Sky begins to rummage through her purse. She pulls out a check to give to Ava.)
Here.
Ava:
What is it?
Sky:
It’s a check for two hundred and fifty dollars. I did the research and asked around. Actually I called Dean to find out the price and he told me.
Ava:
Sky, I don’t want your money.
Sky:
Please just take the check. It would make me feel so much better.
Ava:
No!
(Sky places the check on the table next to her.)
Then fine. Do what you want with it.
Ava:
I really wanted to apologize for my outburst the other day. There was no need for it.
Sky:
Apology accepted.
Ava:
And I want you to know that I’m not avoiding you because you told me that you’re a lesbian. I’ll admit that it’s something new to me. That still doesn’t change the fact that you are a great person.
Sky:
That’s very nice of you to say.
Ava:
If it wasn’t for you, then I could have been dead. You saved my life. Me falling back into my drinking habits, was something so stupid. It was all because of James.
Sky:
You need to forget all about him. Don’t even think of his class, of his face, or of his name. It’s obviously killing you. Literally.
(Ava smiles at her observation.)
I really don’t know what I did to deserve a friend like you. Thanks.
Sky:
What are friends for?
(Ava hugs Sky.)
(joking)
You better watch out, I might think you’re hitting on me or something.

(Later on that day, Will goes outside for a walk. Exercise, or some sort of activity that didn’t involve moping in his room, was something what he needed to get his mind off of Lenvy and the press conference. He begins to walk around the school. He goes through the courtyard, and notices how beautiful the campus really was.)
Lenvy, showed me how beautiful life was. Especially Point Palace.
(Will shakes his head to try and not think about what he was saying to himself.)
Oh well.
(Will continues to walk on. He then sees a very attractive Asian girl sitting on a bench reading a newspaper. Will sits next to Mika.)
Hello.
(The girl doesn’t say anything back.)
Hello.
Will:
Such a nice day out, isn’t it?
Mika:
I guess.
Will:
Anything interesting in the news?
Mika:
Not really. There was this sort of heated conference about the gala explosion.
Will:
Yeah. Were you there when it happened?
Mika:
Yeah. I was way in the back though, so nothing phased me.
(Will puts out his hand.)
My name’s Will Pazner.
(Mika puts out hers and shakes it.)
Don’t I get to know your name?
Mika:
I’m not in the paper like you.
Will:
What does that mean? And that still doesn’t answer my question.
Mika:
To know someone’s name, is to grant them the greatest power, to have them hold against you. Will Pazner. Oh and by the way, you’re shoe laces are untied.
(Will looks down. He begins to tie them.)
(talking to her as he ties them)
You shouldn’t believe everything you hear about me. Especially...
(When Will gets back up, Mika is gone. Her footsteps were unheard. She vanished into thin air practically.)
(finishing his sentence)
In the Point Palace Inquiry.
(While still sitting on the bench, Will looks all around for her, but can’t find her.)
Where did she go?
- - -
(Blake opens the door to the boardroom where Bryan, Lanoi, Benjamin, Dylan, and Nate are sitting in the chairs that are across from his.)
Is everyone here?
Blake:
Myra’s on her way.
(Blake’s secretary Myra then opens the door, with Point Palace editor Leon Kain.)
Here’s Mister Kain, like you requested.
Blake:
Thank you Myra.
Bryan:
I want to know why are we having a meeting? The press conference was fine, we’ve explained our side of the story, and you Blake have been cleared of everything.
Blake:
The reason that I called you all here was because I have found some very disturbing news that I want to discuss with you. I would also like introduce to you Nate Mavick. He may be joining us after this meeting.
Dylan:
Is someone leaving Blake?
Blake:
Yes. They very much will be.
Dylan:
And is that why you called Leon in here?
Blake:
Leon plays a big role in this.
Dylan:
Interesting. Sorry for interrupting.
Blake:
No problem.
Bryan:
If I wanted to hear best friends banter, then I would have put on my television set. Can we please continue?
Benjamin:
What’s the rush Brian?
Bryan:
This meeting just seems pointless. That’s all.
(Blake pulls out Nan’s confession out of his brief case.)
This is a confession. It’s made by the ex-Presidental Assistant, Nan Sheridan. It’s a confession that she was the one who rigged everything at the gala. She was the one that caused the explosions and Bryan helped her.
Bryan:
Yeah right. You probably made that thing up yourself. Please inform us on how you obtained that piece of evidence.
Blake:
It was obtained by Detective Miltner.
Lanoi:
Bryan I am shocked that you would do such a thing!
Benjamin:
Do you realize that numerous students were killed during this? Have you no heart?
Bryan:
This is such bull. Blake here wants me out. He’s never wanted me here to begin with.
Dylan:
Blake is not a liar. That’s the sort of thing that Nan would do to get revenge on anyone. She’s done it before. I believe that Bryan did have a hand in this as well.
Leon:
This would make top story.
Blake:
I’m willing to cut you a deal Bryan.
Bryan:
What’s that? One that involves you looking like the good guy?
Blake:
One that’s going to help you. Leon here will print the story that Nan is behind everything. She is also dead among the students who she killed. However, the part about you helping her, will be left out.
Bryan:
If I do what?
Blake:
Leave town and don’t even think about coming back.
Leon:
I’m down for that.
Dylan:
It sounds like a good deal.
Lanoi:
Blake, you can’t fire him.
Blake:
I’m sure that the board members, the students, and everyone else who knows what he did, would!
Benjamin:
That is a good point. We’re going to take this as your resignation Bryan.
Bryan:
No! I will leave town but you mark my words that this isn’t over. That chair should have been mine. My rich daddy didn’t buy me the school so I want to prove that I can make something of myself. You don’t deserve that seat! You all are blind to see that.
Blake:
Please get your belongings and get out immediately. Possibly, Dylan could take over your position or Nate for that matter as I know Dylan has a mess of his own because of you.
Dylan:
(to Bryan)
You’re lucky that I’m calm about this situation. My girlfriend pulled through, but if she hadn’t, you wouldn’t have even seen the light of day.
Bryan:
These threats mean nothing to me. I’ll find out how you got that evidence. You must have done something wrong. You’re not the perfect president that you appear as. This war between us…it isn’t over in the least!
(Bryan exits, slamming the door behind him.)

(In John’s bedroom, John wakes up late. He looks to the right of him to see Alley sound asleep. He begins to kiss her neck. The kissing wakes her up.)
Morning sunshine. Or should I say afternoon!
Alley:
Let me go back to sleep.
John:
It’s already the afternoon. Come on and get out of bed.
Alley:
I want to stay in here forever.
John:
Too bad.
(John gets out of bed and begins to get dressed.)
You seem so determined to do something.
John:
There has been something on my mind.
Alley:
Tell me what it is.
(John is silent and continues to dress.)
Why won’t you tell me? I know that was the problem when we last went out. You didn’t tell me about London and I didn’t tell you about how I cheated on you with Dylan.
John:
I don’t mean to sound like Ross Gellar when I say this but we were on a break. When I left for Ohio to go and see London, I didn’t know that I would have ended up getting her pregnant. It was pure break up sex. We both enjoyed it. Then when I didn’t stay in Brunswick, she came to track me down.
Alley:
Then falls in love with Blake and somehow finds a way to ruin my life. Finding out that she was pregnant when we got back together the second time and the fact that we were being so distant with one another, really drew me to Dylan. But that was in the past, and like you said last night, you don’t want to talk about other people who affect our lives.
John:
Sometimes we’re going to have to.
Alley:
Who’s the sometimes?
John:
London.
Alley:
We must be clairvoyant because I had a feeling that her name was going to come up.
John:
She’s due to have my baby and I still don’t know how she stands on me or Blake being the father.
Alley:
Look, everything will be fine. I’m sure she’ll be fine.
John:
You don’t have a problem with it?
Alley:
Times have changed and so have we. That’s why I’m glad that we can make love easily and communicate even easier.
(Alley and John hug each other.)
Good, now get out of bed!
(John exits to go into his foyer. He sees his cell phone lying on the table next to the door.)
Should I call London?

(Back at the hospital, Dr. Reed sits next to Carrie, with a pad of paper and pen in hand, she begins to write down notes from their session.)
Hello Carrie.
Carrie:
Hi.
Elizabeth:
How are you feeling today?
Carrie:
Okay. My head hurts a little. I think that I hit it off a tree when I was playing with some friends from down the street.
Elizabeth:
Were you playing nice?
Carrie:
Of course.
Elizabeth:
Kids your age sure are active.
(Carrie smiles at the comment. Dylan walks in and interrupts.)
I’m sorry that I was late I was in a meeting.
Carrie:
(about Dylan)
Oh it’s you again.
(To Dr. Reed)
He’s so weird!
Dylan:
Nice to see you too. If you don’t mind, I want to talk to Dr. Reed alone.
Elizabeth:
Why don’t you watch some television Carrie.
Carrie:
(happy)
Okay!
(Carrie turns on the TV to watch it. Elizabeth and Dylan step outside in the hallway.)
Can you explain to me what’s going on? Ever since the explosion, she hasn’t been the same since.
Elizabeth:
Her memory and her vision was wrecked. She’s not blind but everything she sees around her is what she saw when she was ten years old.
Dylan:
Why hasn’t she snapped out of it, yet?
Elizabeth:
There could be many reasons.
Dylan:
Like...?
Elizabeth:
Soon I’ll be able to know which one. I don’t want to worry you with a bunch of problems that could have little or no meaning to them at all. You just worry about you. I will guarantee you though that we’ll get to the bottom of this. Carrie’s going to be fine.
Dylan:
Has the doctors said when she’ll be released?
Elizabeth:
I believe I heard them say very soon. Probably tomorrow.
Dylan:
That’s good to hear. Sorry for interrupting the session.
Elizabeth:
No problem. We just started anyway.
(Elizabeth and Dylan go back into Carrie’s hospital room.)
Carrie, you don’t mind if we continue? Please turn off the television.
(Carrie obeys her. Elizabeth re-sits herself next to her and continues to write.)
Now Carrie tell me more about your friends that you said you play with.
Carrie:
Well I have a bunch of friends. Like Mandy, Sarah, and Callie. Then there’s the twins. Jimmy and Timmy. And my one really special friend named Victor. He kind of has a crush on me.
Elizabeth:
That’s cute. What about your family, what do they think about your friends?
Carrie:
They like them all. Except...I sometimes hear them talk about this one family down the street.
(Carrie’s comment catches Dylan’s attention.)
What about them?
Carrie:
It’s kind of quiet what they say. I’ve heard them say that they’re very bad. Like cartoon characters.
Elizabeth:
Who are they talking about, Carrie?
Carrie:
The Di- The DiMarcos! They talk about Victor's family.

(London sits alone in her new cozy apartment that she is sharing with Blake. The decor was white, modern, and just what she had wanted. It took time to renovate, but it was better then living in the dorms or in an on campus house. The rooms in Point Palace were nothing but nice, but they wanted something more...roomier.)
(to her unborn child)
You’re going to be the envy of everyone’s eye.
(London picks up the phone and calls Alexia.)
Hey you.
London:
Hey, where are you at?
Alexia:
The hospital. It’s been my second home lately.
London:
How is Owen doing?
Alexia:
The doctor’s say that he may be going deaf from the explosion and he found out about my mother’s bout with breast cancer, so both physically and mentally, not so well.
London:
I’ll pray for him.
Alexia:
Thanks. And what about you? Soon to be mother like yourself should be on her way.
London:
I am. I can feel it.
Alexia:
Whenever you have that child, I want to be the first to see it.
London:
You will be. I still haven’t figured out the issue on who I want raising him or her, but I’m sure it’ll make a rational decision sooner or later.
Alexia:
See you soon.
London:
Bye.
(London hangs up with Alexia. She stands up when she hears noises coming from the door. It’s her husband with a big smile on his face.)
How was your day?
(Blake puts his hands on her waist and leans in to kiss her. He also kisses her stomach for the baby.)
My day was absolutely perfect! Because of what you and I found in Nan’s confession, with the help of Leon, Bryan has been run out of town.
London:
Good for you. Like I said, good always conquers evil.
Blake:
I wish you were there.
London:
Yeah, me too.
(London suddenly gets a surprised look on her face.)
What’s wrong?
(She begins to hold on to her stomach.)
Call Doctor Harnlo!
Blake:
Okay.
(Blake rushes to the phone and begins dialing.)
What’s wrong?
London:
Go get my maternity suit case! My water just broke!
(Blake drops the phone. He then picks it back up.)
Hello?
Blake:
Lon- London’s going to have her baby!
- - -
(Later on in the night, Owen sits alone in his room with the lights off, and the blind open so that he can look at the moon while he thinks to himself. Then Tanisha and Alexia walk in to turn on the light.)
It’s way too dark in here.
Owen:
I like it that way.
Alexia:
We have come to apologize.
Tanisha:
Lexi and I both realized that we were hurting you in different ways. I’m sorry for treating Ginny the way that I did. I just feel protective when it comes to you, but that still was no way to act.
Alexia:
And I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you about mom sooner. You’re not the only one who’s made me realize that me keeping secrets from mom isn’t going to make life better. However, I’m just going to have to deal with it in different ways.
Owen:
Thanks. I accept both of your apologies.
(Owen gets out of bed, gives Tanisha a hug and a kiss on her cheek, and then Alexia grabs on to hug the both of them.)
So you actually heard us?
Owen:
Kind of. Bits and pieces.
Tanisha:
No matter what anybody says, you’re going to get better.
Alexia:
Yeah. We all have faith in you!
Owen:
I can only hope. I think I’m going to rest. Will you please go and tell the nurse that I would like to see her.
Alexia:
Okay.
(Alexia and Tanisha exit. Owen turns the lights back on. That was the mood that he wanted to be in. Darkness and sorrow. He began to think of the time when he tried killing himself over Tracie/Nan. How he thought he had nothing to live for, when the whole world was turned against him. He climbed to the roof and jumped.)
Owen:
(to himself)
I’m going deaf. My mother has cancer. My girlfriend doesn’t trust anyone and my sister lies to me and my family. What a perfect life I have.
(The nurse comes in. Owen turn around to face her.)
Your friend said you wanted to see me.
Owen:
Yes, I was wondering if I could have a sleeping pill. Tonight I’m having trouble sleeping a little bit.
Nurse:
Yes, but I’m only allowed to give a minimum of two pills. I’ll be right back.
(The nurse leaves. He is alone again with himself. Trying to wrestle the demons within himself.)
Is life worth really worth living when there’s pain that comes with it?
(Owen watches as the nurse comes back with the pills. She opens the case and pours it in a small clear plastic cup. She then pours him some water and begins to leave.)
Wait!
Nurse:
Yes?
(Owen goes up and gives her a hug.)
Thank you. For everything. You don’t know how much you’re helping me.
Nurse:
You’re welcome.
(The nurse exits. Owen has his hands behind his back. He then looks at the bottle of sleeping pills he stole from her, when he swiftly hugged her.)
This is it. Second time’s a charm.
(Owen lies back down in his bed. He then opens the bottle and spills out numerous pills in his mouth as he tries to commit suicide via overdosing.)
