Sierra Madre,

Mona opens her side door and begins to walk into her garage until she sees Daniel passed out in her backyard. She shakes her head at him, She goes back to her resort and turns on the hot water faucet and pulls out a pot from the cabinet, giving time for the water to heat up. She fills the pot with the steaming hot water, walks outside and throws it onto Daniel. He immediately wakes up screaming

"What the hell!?"

Mona

"Get up you crusty bump. You're making my yard look ugly and your driving my property value down."

Daniel

"I'm sorry. Sheesh. " He begins to drool at the mouth and begins to do jumping jacks.

Mona

"You really have lost your mind."

Daniel

"I'm the world's strongest man. I have to exercise to keep up my strength"

Mona

"In your dreams homie. Enough with the jiber jabber. I got a surprise for you"

Daniel

"I hope I like it"

Mona

"I fixed you a meth sandwich. Let's go inside and have a drug session. I got to put a few thoughts in your ear." Daniel excited that he is about to get his high on, hops , skips, and jumps into her house.

Episode : 47

Written by: ML C.

Meanwhile,

At Huntington Memorial Hospital

As Diego is taking a set of vitals on Lauren, she comes too. She sees Chris and she smiles.

Chris

"I'm right here." He says as he caresses her face.

Diego

"How do you feel?"

Lauren

"OK I guess. My head hurt really bad. What happened?"

Diego

"You suffered a mild concussion."

Chris

"Lauren, how did this happen to you?"

Before answering, she has a flashback to Daniel hitting her in the head with the phone. She doesn't know if she should say anything, fearing what will happen to Daniel next. But She realizes that Daniel has a problem and needs to be stopped. He needs help, so she tells the truth.

"Daniel, he hit me with my phone."

Chris

"What do you mean he hit you. He's supposed to be here on the crazy ward."

Lauren

"He escaped. He was talking about this woman after us."

Chris

"That still doesn't give him the right to put his hands on you. He's gone too far."

Diego

"I agree. I'm going to call Chief Williams"

Chris

"I'm going to kill Daniel." Chris says as Diego leaves the room.

Lauren

"Chris, please don't do anything stupid. That's why I didn't want to tell you."

Chris

"Lauren, Daniel has to be stopped. He doesn't give a damn about anyone why should we show him any sympathy. He had his hands on you that night at The Blue Note. Why Lauren, Why did he hit you?"

Lauren, breaking down in tears, not knowing what to make of Daniel's actions and deeply hurt that he hit her,

"He wanted some money. I wouldn't give it to him. "

Chris, shaking his head than burying his hands in his face,

"Lauren, I cannot stand by and watch him do this to you. My father raised me to respect women, and no man for any reason should put his hands on a woman. That's called a Bitch in my book. These damn hospitals can't contain Daniel, and I'm not going to wait until he does something else to you. Lauren I'm not having it. I love you. I am not going to let anything happen to you." He engulfs her in a hug, shedding tears himself, feeling guilty, that he could not prevent this from happening.

Chris

"Lauren I am so sorry. I am so sorry for not being there." He says as he holds her even tighter.

Lauren

"Chris, it's OK. You didn't know this was going to happen. Daniel needs help and now that Diego has called Abe, they can arrest him and we can find out what the hell is going on. Something is just not right."

Chris

"Abe better find Daniel before I do. He's not going to get away with this." Chris gets up and leaves her room as she calls out to him but to no avail, he is already gone. Lauren wonders where Daniel is and prays that Chris doesn't find him before Abe does.

Mona's Mountain Resort.

Mona is leaned back in her recliner, laxxed, exhaling on her Mary stick. Feeling good she has a moment with Mary and sees, she comes out the moment and looks at Daniel, sitting on the couch, leaned over the glass coffee table, smoking up the meth she has cooked up for him. Mona smiles, as he picks his skin, imagining bugs are biting him and decides to mess with Daniel's head in his delusional state of mind.

"You OK Danny Boy?"

Daniel

"These roaches keep biting me. Damn, there everywhere. Don't you keep a clean house?" He says as he stands up and begins to slap at his arms and face trying to kill the "roaches"

"You know, you should really invest in an exterminator. Hell give me some bleach and I'll just throw it everywhere."

Mona, trying to contain her laughter from being amused with Daniel's drug induced hallucinations.

"Wait." She gets up out her recliner "Don't move"

Daniel

"What?," Looking at her with fear building up within him "what is it?"

Mona

"There is a huge roach right on the side of your face" She says as she gets closer to him."

Daniel

"Please get it. It' burning my skin"

Mona

"Don't move, I'm bout to get it" Mona snatches her 22 inch flat screen monitor from her tower and slaps Daniel across the face with it. Mona unable to contain her laughter anymore, lets it out as Daniel falls back on the sofa, rubbing his reddened cheek.

"Damn, is it dead."

Mona

"Yea man." Trying to get herself back together.

Daniel

"You didn't have to hit me so fast." Mona explodes into laughter once more.

Downtown Pasadena

TC Hotel

Santino walks into Ty's office without Knocking. Having been on the phone, tells his caller he will call them back, looking at Santino with a serious face

"You know to knock before you walk into my office. What the hell is your problem."

Santino

"Boss, I know all that. But this is important."

Ty

"Am I about to die?"

Santino

"Daniel has escaped from the psych. ward."

Ty

"Missing? What the fu-" He pauses, bites his lip and turns around to look out the window to view his outside fountain to try and make sense of this unexpected news.

Ty

"Something is not right Tino. If Daniel left the hospital, you would think the first place or person he would call would be me. We're like brothers.You don't know where he is at?" He says looking back at his no2 man.

Santino

"No one knows where he is now, But I can tell you that he was at Lauren's and he hit her with a phone."

Ty

"A phone? That doesn't sound right. This doesn't add up." He turns around to look at the fountain again to collect his thoughts. Ty remains silent.

Santino

"Boss, what do you want me to do?"

Ty, remaining silent, thinking of all the times Mona acted strangely every time he mentioned Daniel's name. Mona would always shrug him off or change the subject and never would want to talk about him. Then Ty thinks about his theory that Daniel did not really try to commit suicide the night of his Hotel Party and that in fact someone may have set it up to look like a suicide. Ty has finally put two and two together.

Santino

"Boss, you're never this quiet, your quick, Come on your sly Ty. I know you got a plan"

Ty

"I always do. Keep tabs on Mona. Something is not right and I am going to get to the bottom of this. I'm going to look for D myself."

"Don't count on that happening"

Ty and Santino turn around and sees Jennifer. Santino looks at Ty then looks at Jenn and leaves, to get on his mission to keep tabs on The Lady in Black.

Ty

"Baby, I've missed you." He says as he greets her, kissing her on the lips, well he tries to anyway until she pulls her lips away, turning her face to the left so he kisses her cheek instead.

Ty

"Is something wrong?"

Jenn

"Uhm, yea. I can't believe you wanted to give Jodie a job."

Ty

"Jenn, please, that is not up for discussion. I have something to take care of." He gives her a credit card as he heads out." There, go buy yourself something pretty. I'll get with you later."

Jenn

"Ty you better not walk out of here" He blows her a kiss and leaves his office. Jenn is frustrated and confused. As she swaps at Ty's desk knocking off pen's folders and paper work"Life with Ty isn't so great after all." She hears coming from behind her. She turns around and sees Chris. She rolls her eyes at him. Not wanting to admit he was actually right, she tries to hide it with an attitude.

"Chris, do yourself a favor and stay out of my life."

Chris

"Jenn, that's not why I am here. I could care less about what's going with you. I just know that your man in shining armor of yours is messing with Lauren. Where is he? I know he is hiding Daniel somewhere?"

Jenn

"What the hell are you talking about now? I can see why you and Lauren click so much. You both mastered the art of babbling on and blowing out steam."

Chris

"Steam huh, I thought you and Lauren were good friends. What happened to that?"

Jenn

"I guess that went out the window when she stop wanting me to be happy. Being with Ty makes me happy. Any friend, for that matter, a so called good friend could respect that."

Chris

"I see Ty has really hypnotized you. What happened to you? What has He done to you?"

Jenn

"Suck my ass Chris." She says hastily says as she flicks him off, leaving the office. Chris chuckles, knowing he hit a nerve deep within Jenn. But he doesn't let that stop him from his mission, finding Daniel. He begins to look around in Ty's office.

Sierra Madre,

Mona

"Your face OK?"

Daniel

"It's hurts like you just hit me witch a computer screen."

Mona

"Maybe I was to fast for you. But Listen Danny boy, I know how you can feel better."

Daniel

"You read my mind, it's time for another drug session."

Mona

"Not quite, you see, you know your good boy Ty, don't you?"

Daniel

"Yes I sure do"

Mona

"Yes. Danny boy he called me this a.m. and told me to inform you he has a nice package for you."

Daniel

"I bet it's some more "Tina"

Mona

"You already know playboy. He said to be There by 12." She looks at her watch. "it's 11 now, you can make it to downtown if you leave and start walking now."

Daniel

"well can't you give me a ride?"

Mona

"That will be a negative. Now get the hell out of here before I tie you up with my black mambas." Daniel remembering the time in the hospital when Mona was about to inject him with the venom of the black mamba, decides not to test Mona. As he is about to leave he decides he is superman and not afraid of Mona today. He looks at her

"Can I see what your face looks like? Why do you always wear the veil? Why do you keep your face hidden?" Mona reaches in her bra and pulls out a very small gun and begins to fire in Daniel's direction. Daniel runs out her mountain side dodging bullets, headed back into Pasadena. Once Daniel is out of sight, Santino rides by Mona's resort, just having missed seeing Daniel leave.

Westwood Park, Mike's House

Jodie is in the kitchen putting away the dishes she just washed when Mike walks in the front door. She smiles at him.

Mike, for some reason he thinks Jodie's really beautiful today and he tells her.

Jodie

"Thanks's, that's sweet. I wish I felt beautiful on the inside."

Mike, taking a seat on the sofa, looks at Jodie

"What makes you say that? Is something wrong?"

Jodie

"I'm very nauseated today."

Mike

"I can go get you some ginger ale or something."

Jodie

"No thanks. I'm OK. I already got some. This is normal for me so don't be alarmed. All this medication I'm on really drains my body. So many side effects."

Mike

"Well, then have seat, let's watch a movie or something"

Jodie

"Actually, I wanted to talk to you about something."

Mike

"What's on your mind?"

Jodie, sitting next to him on the sofa.

"I was thinking about what Ty said last night."

Mike

"What about it? You mean the job offer?"

Jodie

"Yes and-"

Mike, cutting her off

"Jodie, you can't be serious. You actually gave it some thought?"

Jodie

"Listen, let me explain. I was thinking, what if I did go work for Ty, then maybe I could get close to him and see what is he really doing. Maybe I can find out something."

Mike

"I don't know Jodie. I don't like the sound of this."

Jodie

"Mike , please, it's the least I could do for you. You have been so kind and understanding I will be forever grateful. For the first time in a long time, I feel like someone actually cares about me Mike. And that feels good." She says as she wipes away a tear that rolls down her cheek. He scoots closer to her, and holds her.

Mike

"Jodie, I'm here for you. I'll always be here for you. You don't ever have to worry about that. I accept you for who you are." He kisses her on her forehead.

Jodie

"That's why I need to do this. For you Mike. I owe you this. You deserve it. Jenn and Ty have done you so wrong. It's not right. You are a good person, and you don't deserve anything they did to you. I have seen Ty's type before. Mike, I used to work the streets of Cleveland, pimps, hoes, drug dealers, I have seen them all. He's up to something. I can feel it. I can work for him, get him to trust me and find out what he's really doing."

Mike, looking into her eyes,

"Jodie, I really don't know. Ty is dangerous."

Jodie

"Mike, I'm a strong woman, I have been stabbed, shot, robbed, Ty does not scare me. Besides, this is Pasadena, not Cleveland. Ty is just a rich boy, wearing a suit, blowing out hot air."

Mike

"Your very strong minded. Jodie, if this is something you really want to do, then let me know if there is anything I can do to help." just as Jodie is about to respond, she holds her stomach and frowns up.

Mike

"Jodie, are you OK?" Jodie, gets and hurries into the bathroom to vomit. Mike hears, Jodie's moans, and weird cries as she vomits into the toilet. He hates to see her like this, and wonders if there is anything he can do since this so new to him, He is left there to sit and try to take his mind off of Jodie's liquid pain by turning on the tv.

Back at TC Hotel,

Daniel enters the back entrance, remembering that only Ty's workers know about it. He slips into the Hotel discreetly, and begins to go to the room Mona told him his "package will be in. Daniel stops suddenly, when he sees a little leprechaun standing down the hall from him. The little chan' laughs at Daniel and runs towards him.

Ty, forgetting his gun, and securing his safe pulls back up to his hotel,

as Chris, continues to search the Hotel, opening up doors, in the hallways behind Ty's office. He hears some one running,

Daniel, in his drug induced state of mind, makes a b-line for the nest room he sees and enters the room, and locks it,

Ty enters his office, and sees his desk has been ransacked, He pulls his gun out from under his black leather couch and enters the hallways behind his office.

Daniel, catching his breath, running from the leprechaun, imagined by the meth that is running through his veins, slowly turns around to look in the room he is in. He sees, a body, on a Gurney with iv's and ventilators hooked up to the person. Daniel slowly walks over to get this person identity and he sees

Ty, hearing foot steps behind him, on impulse, knowing no one is supposed to be in the halls but him turns around and shoots the person walking up behind him. Ty, looks in horror as he realizes he has shot Jennifer!!.....
