It's an intense afternoon.....

Olivia's Suite:

Olivia and Josh are kissing on the couch.

Olivia smiles, "Josh are you happy?"

"Uh.. Yes of course. Why?"

"I don't know. I just feel like something isn't right."

"Actually there is something I wanted to talk to you about.."

A knock at the door. Olivia answers. Rick is standing there, "Josh can I talk to you please?"

Josh walks out in the hall, "What's all of this about?"

"Josh I need your help. I need you to get your neice out of town."

Josh is confused.

Mallet House:

Mallet and Dinah are on the couch. Mallet is taking care of Dinah, "Hey, I'm gonna call your mother and she'll be happy to take Maureen back."

"No! I promised Maureen that I would take care of her and I will!"

"Babe don't you see what happened?"

"I know! But I won't let this get to me. I need to be there for her. I need to make up for the time I lost."

"What are you talking about?"

Dinah turns away.

Harley's House:

Gus and Harley are looking at pictures of Sydney. Gus smiles, "She is something huh?"

"Oh yeah!"

Zach and Jude come down stairs.

Harley stands up, "Boys we need to talk to you."

Zach walks over, "About?"

Gus comes over, "We are going to meet with a judge next week. We are going to try and get Sydney again."

Zach is confused, "Who?"

Harley smiles, "Sydney." She hands them a picture.

Jude holds it, "I don't remember that much."

"Well you will."

Zach goes upstairs, "Well I'm not getting my hopes up."

Harley thought the boys would be more excited.

Spaulding Mansion:

Mindy is showing Alan pictures of Bertha, "Isn't she beautiful?"

"Oh yes she is. Just like her mother."

"And her Daddy."

Alan's smile fades, "I am getting a little tired of this joke."

"Alan I'm not kidding! That child isn't Rick's!"

"What's in this for you?"

"I don't want to see Beth hurt him."

Alan grabs her by the arm, "If you're lying to me, I swear I will make you pay!" Alan lets go and walks out.

The Beacon:

Josh looks at Rick, "What's wrong with Mindy?"

"She is asking questions Josh."

"About what?"

"About the baby! She's gonna find out about the paternity test."

"Rick with all do respect Cassie is gone. I'm not in this anymore."

"Oh yes you are. Because if Mindy gets her hands on this we are all going down!"

Josh is getting worried.

PART TWO:

The Beacon:

Josh isn't happy with Rick, "You're threatening me?"

"No. I don't want to think about how this will hurt Beth. But if Alan finds out then we will all go down."

"Alan."

"Josh. Who else knows?"

"Reva. That's it."

"Not even Olivia?"

"No. I didn't think it mattered to her."

"Well it doesn't. I gotta go. We'll discuss this later."

Rick leaves.

Mallet House:

Mallet is questioning Dinah, "Babe what are you talking about?"

Dinah gets ready to speak but the door opens.

Maureen walks in with tears down her face.

Dinah runs over and hugs her.

Maureen is sobbing, "Dinah I am so sorry!"

"It's alright. Now you know."

Maureen nods.

"Hey come on sweetie! You're birthday is next week and I was hoping to have something fun."

"You mean you still want me here?"

"Of course."

Dinah hugs her little sister.

Harley's House: Gus and Harley are going over the case. Harley brings him coffee, "Here."

"Oh thanks."

"Thank you for doing all of the work."

"Anything to bring our daughter home." He holds her hand.

Natalia opens the door, "Your what?"

She is shocked.

Bauer Home:

Beth is feeding Bertha. Alan walks in, "Hello Beth."

"Alan. What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to you and the baby."

"Alan you have no right to be here."
