Episode 40

It's a good morning in Sprinfield......

Beacon Lobby:

Dylan just came from a business meeting.

He sits on the couch.

He calls Billy, "Hey Dad it's me. Listen I don't want to bother you but the Roberts deal, it was swiped up by the Spauldings. I'll talk about it later. Call me back."

He hangs up.

A professional woman walks up to him, "Dylan Lewis. I think I can help you take down the Spauldings."

"Do I know you."

She removes her sunglasses, "Sort of."

"Lucy Cooper?"

"Lucy Spaulding." She smiles.

Gym:

Jeffrey is lifting weights.

Marah walks over, "Hey."

He puts them down, "Marah. Uh.. hey."

"I haven't talked to you in a while."

"I know."

"Jeffrey we need to talk."

"Marah I.."

"Jeffrey, I still have feelings for you. You know that. I need to know how you feel."

Jeffrey takes a deep breathe.

Cross Creek:

Josh is trying to fix a chair.

Reva walks in, "Oh hey, what are you doing here?"

"I told Billy I'd fix this while he's in a meeting. You?"

"I'm meeting Vanessa."

"She's not here right now."

"I guess I'll come back."

"Reva wait." He stands up.

Reva stops and sits with him.

Cedars:

Bill is trying to set up an appointment, "Listen to me! I didn't cancel it!"

Olivia walks up, "What's going on?"

"Hey. I uh.."

She's holding an AA paper.

Bill smiles, "Are you going to the meetings?"

"Well I don't want you telling Josh about the accident."

"I'm glad. You'll be happy to know I've put a stop to the custody thing."

"Good. How's Ava?"

"Well she's.."

"She's what?"

Bill hesitates.

Mel's Office:

Alan Michael is going over his papers, "I'm sure Lucy will be happy with this."

Mel smiles, "Yes I'm sure she will."

Alan Michael smiles at Mel, "Thanks for everything."

"Well it's my job."

"I want to treat you to dinner."

"What?"

"Come on it'll be fun. Unless you have a jealous boyfriend?"

Mel laughs but thinks about Frank. Is he her boyfriend?

PART TWO:

Beacon Lobby:

Lucy sips her champagne.

Dylan smiles, "That's a nice necklace."

"Yes I know."

"You've changed."

"No kidding?"

"I mean you don't seem like much of a Cooper anymore. No offense."

"None taken. I've had a good life. But now Alan Michael wants to rip it away and send me back where I was. And I can't go back."

Dylan laughs, "So you need my help?"

"Oh no Dylan Lewis. Correction: You need mine."

Dylan is intriuged by her.

Mel's Office:

Mel laughs, "Come on!"

"Seriously! I won't take no for an answer."

"Yes. I guess. Nothing fancy. We're just to people hanging out."

"So it's a date?"

"No."

"Well it's something."

He walks out.

Mel can't stop laughing.

Cedars:

Bill looks at the clock, "Look at the time! I have to go."

Olivia follows him, "Bill.."

He drops a baby book.

"Why do you have this Bill?"

"Olivia..."

"What's it for?"

"Ava. She's pregnant."

Olivia drops the book.

Gym:

Jeffrey grabs a towel and wipes his face.

Marah follows him, "Don't ignore me!"

"I'm not!"

"Then just tell me! Do you have feelings for me!?!"

"Yes Marah! Okay? I have feelings for you! I can't get you out of my head!"

Marah is speechless.

Cross Creek:

Reva runs her hand across the mantle. She reads, "Always."

Josh smiles, "Yes."

"How many times have we said that?"

"A lot."

"Exactly." Reva goes to walk out.

Josh tries to stop her.

"Joshua no. I can't.."

He pulls her close and they kiss.
