Pasadena City Jail12824943_551f054d6c.jpg

Alexis (looking at her "dead" sister)

"Ash, is that you?"

Ashley0000034598_20061021004247.jpg

"Yes Lexie, it's me."

Alexis, with tears in her eyes, reaches her hands through the bars and touches her sister.

Alexis47.jpg

"Oh my God. I can't believe you're here. I . . .I thought you were dead."

Ashley

"I know. I'm sorry. After Bryan and Sabryn ran me over, I had to leave. My face and body were completely disfigured."

Alexis

"I can't believe this . . . I am so happy . . . you're alive! Where have you been?"

Ashley

"Listen, we don't have time right now. Natalia slept with Bryan. The baby she's carrying might be his."

Alexis

"That dirty ass bitch. I knew he was hiding something."

Ashley

"Sabryn and Bryan are about to get married."

Alexis

"How do you know all this?"

Ashley

"I've been lurking around town for awhile now."

Alexis

"What? Awhile? Do you know that it's because of your death that I'm in jail?"

Ashley

"I know all of that."

Alexis

"You do? Well, why don't you get me out of here . . . now! Natalia and her bad breath are running Divine Design into the ground. I know you're not going to let me sit in jail like this, are you?"

Ashley

"Trust me Lexie, I'm working on it. I can't reveal myself just yet. I'm waiting for the right moment."

Alexis

"What are you waiting for? I've got to get out of here."

Ashley

"Sis please, wait a little longer. Believe me, I have a master plan. I'm going to strike at my enemies and Natalia is first. She is going to pay for sleeping with my man."

Alexis

"Ash please, this obsession you have with Bryan is not healthy. It wasn't so obvious to me until now. You're letting your feud with Sabryn and Natalia ruin your life. Ash, you've taken things too far. There's no turning back now."

Ashley

"These bitches are going to pay tonight, starting with Natalia!"

Ashley turns around and begins to walk away.

Alexis

"Where are you going? Get me out of here!"

Ashley leaves.

Alexis

"My sister is crazy. Good Lord, what is she up to?"

Episode: 87, Exposed!

Written by: ML Cooks and Ian Hadley with Miou Slater

In the back seat of Rufus's tooter booter, oldcar.jpgHope Williams Brady and Suga look at each other. As Rufus drives, he looks in his rear view mirror and see Hope and Suga looking at each other.

Feeling obligated, he/she starts to explain.

RufusArquetteAlexis455035520.jpg

"I'm so sorry for not having a front seat. I have some money on the way but that it won't be here until tonight. So I couldn't afford anything fancy for our little trip out of Salem."

HopeHope.jpg

"It doesn't matter. I just need to get as far away from Salem as I can."

Sugathmissy-elliot.jpg

"It's all good. No one will find you in Pasadena. I can keep you low. My girl owes me some money."

Rufus

"You got that right. Natalia, the big fashion mogul, has tons of money."

Suga

"Good, I'll be taking all of it."

Hope

"I need a drink."

Suga

"I need drugs."

Rufus's car stalls.

Rufus

"Damn it to hell"

Rufus pulls over to the side of the road.

Hope

"What's happening?"

Rufus, tries to restart the engine. Smoke begins to rise from under the hood.

Rufus

"My bucket is dead. We're going to have to walk the rest of the way to Pasadena."

Hope

"I don't want to be seen. How far is it?"

Rufus

"What are you running from?"

Hope flashes back in her home town of Salem. Her husband, the police officer, walks in on her smoking crack. Then she remembers her confession to committing a murder.

Hope

"I'm not running from anything. I just need a vacation."

Suga

"No more questions. Let's start walking. It's time to get paid and get high."

Hope looks at Rufus. They all begin to walk the rest of the way to Pasadena.MariusPics3003.jpg

Divine Design

Bryan walks into Natalia's office.

Natalia2205863020.jpg

"What a wonderful surprise. What brings you by? Does Sabryn know you're here?"

Bryandattilo_4.jpg

"I'm tried of all the blackmail, all the bullsh!t. "

Natalia

"What do you mean?"

Bryan

"That tranny Rufus."

Natalia

"You're not the only one it is blackmailing."

Bryan

"None of this would be happening if you would not have taken advantage of me while I was drunk. Then you decide to steal the security camera footage of our little escapade. Honestly, who does that?"

Natalia

"Sabryn's enemy would."

Bryan

"That's childish."

Natalia

"You're one to talk. Didn't you cheat on Sabryn with Ashley?"

Bryan

"Does Mark know we slept together? Maybe I should tell him?"

Natalia

"Be my guest. I'll be delighted to tell that bitch Sabryn I slept with her man."

Bryan

"That's it. I am putting a stop to this. No more blackmail." He starts to leave her office.

Natalia (hollering after him)

"Don't do anything stupid!"

Bryan (turning around and smirking)

"Watch me."

He leaves the office and slams the door behind him. Jodie walks into the office after he leaves.

Jodiejodie6.jpg

"Everything OK?"

Natalia

"Nothing I can't handle. Ready for the fashion show?"

Jodie

"Yes, I am. Nothing will go wrong this time, I promise. Not from Jenn or anybody."

Natalia

"I am glad to hear it." She hugs Jodie. "I can't afford another disaster. This fashion show has to be a success. Alexis is trying to oust me from this company. And I will not let that fag work beside me. To top it off, Sabryn is launching some grand wedding line to coincide with her wedding in a few weeks. Divine Design has to maintain it's lead over SG."

Jodie

"Everything is going to be fine. Thank you for giving me another chance. I'm going to go get ready."

As Jodie leaves, Suga walks into Natalia's office.

Natalia

"What in the hell are you doing here?"

Suga

"Long time no see. You're having a baby. Congrats."

Natalia

"Cut the crap. You're not supposed to be in Pasadena. We had a deal."

Suga

"Things change. I'm broke. I need some more chips. And you're doing big things now."

Natalia

"So you're going to keep asking me for more money? I don't think so."

Suga

"Would you like Mark to find out you paid me to stab Dahlia?"

Natalia

"It doesn't matter now. She's dead."

Suga

"Give me my money or you'll be sorry. You have until the fashion show is over."

Suga walks out.

Natalia sits down, takes a deep breath and rubs her belly. She begins to speak to the unborn child inside her.

Natalia

"People underestimate your mommy. They're trying to bring me down. But guess what little one, I've got a surprise for all of them."

Natalia stops speaking as Ria walks in.Drucilla3.jpg

In the dressing rooms.

Jodie looks at her reflection in the mirror as she applies her lipstick. Jenn walks up and blocks Jodie's view.

Jodie

"Deja vu?"

Jennaliciasilverstone.jpg

"Hello to you to Jo Ho."

Jodie

"Not again. Get the hell out bitch!"

Jenn

"I've got three letters for you."

Jodie

"Take your crazy talk elsewhere. Not interested."

Jenn (whispers into Jodie's ear)

"HIV."

Jenn smiles at Jodie. As Jodie's heart begins to beat faster, the sweat begins to drip down her forehead. She sits still while every part inside of her vibrates in fear as she processed that her secret was now in the hands of her arch rival.

Jodie

"Who told you? How did you find out?"

Jenn

"The old fashioned way . . . eavesdropping. I heard the conversation you had with Diego at the hospital. I can't believe Mike has saddled himself with damaged goods."

Jodie (wiping a tear from her face)

"Why . . . why are you doing this to me? Can't you just leave me alone. I'm trying to live my life. I've done nothing to you!"

Jenn

"Honestly, I don't like you. You're a skank. Still, I gotta tell you, I never imagined anything like this before I found out. I always knew from the first time I saw you straddling Mike that something wasn't right with you, but I just couldn't put my finger on it."

Jodie

"Sounds like you're insecure because your ex loves me and your current man wants me too."

Jenn

"Are you listening to yourself? Please! Once Ty knows the truth, he won't want anything to do with you."

Jodie

"What do you want from me?"

Jenn

"Pack your bags and get the hell out of Pasadena. Oh . . . and never come back."

Jodie

"What about Mike?"

Jenn

"My point exactly. Leave Mike."

Jodie

"You can't do this!"

Jenn

"You did this to yourself! Maybe you should have thought twice before becoming a trick walking the track. I wonder how many other people you've given it to, you nasty-assed skank."

Jodie

"You don't know anything about me or about my life."

Jenn

"I know enough. Be sure to send me a postcard."

Jodie

"When Natalia finds out that you ruined her second fashion show, she's going to destroy you."

Jenn

"I'm not worried. She'll never find out. OK, enough of this. It's time for you to leave, right now. Get packing and get out!"

Jodie

"You think you're going to get away with this? You're not. You're going to pay, big time for this sh!t!"

Jenn

"Ta Ta trash. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. I hear some of the hotels will even leave the light on for you

"

Jodie wipes the tears from her eyes as she walks out the door.

Back upstairs, Natalia's office.

Ria

"So, I am not in the fashion show?"

Natalia

"You know you're wasting your time coming here."

Ria

"Is that how it is? Nat, come on girl. I said I was sorry and I meant it. I didn't mean to mess things up."

Natalia

"That's not how it looked to me then or now. Jenn was going after Jodie. Hello? Jodie is your co worker. She's works for me. She's a part of my dream. You're the one who helped Jenn take that away from me. And Ria, that's something I don't think I will ever forgive."

Ria

"Oh, Saint Natalia, you've got some nerve."

Natalia

"I've never pretended to be a saint. I always thought of you as my sister. And what did you do in return? You betrayed me. Never in a million years would I have ever done anything like that to you."

Ria

"You are seriously tripping."

Natalia

"In any case, this is something I don't have time for. I have a fashion show to host. Please have some class and leave."

Ria

"I must be hearing things. You did not just say that to me!"

Natalia

"Should I call security . . . because I'm thinking you didn't hear me the first time."

Ria

"Oh bitch please! It's not that serious. Maybe you'll come to your senses when you drop that load. This baby has you talking out the side of your neck."

Ria storms out of Natalia's office. Natalia grabs a folder and heads for the door when Sabryn walks in.tricia18.jpg

Natalia

"I can't catch a break, can I? What in the hell is this . . . let's-see-if-I-can-get-on-Natalia's-last-nerve-day?"

In the back alley of Divine Design.

Hope stands with Suga as she smokes her cigarette.

Suga (looking at Hope)

"Are you OK fancy face? You look like you're somewhere else."

Hope

"I've got a lot on my mind." She pulls a bottle of rum out from her purse and takes a swig.

Hope

"How long are we going to be here?"

Suga

"No one is going to find you. Chillax. I'm waiting on some money. We're going to watch the pretty ladies in the fashion show and then a bitch is going to give me my money."

Hope

"Bo can't find me."

Suga

"I got your back. It's all good. The show is starting. Let's go inside."

They walk past Jodie in the alley and walk inside. Jenn then walks out.

Jenn

"So, what have you decided?"

Jodie

"Fu(k this. I'm not backing down." She took a step towards Jenn. "I don't owe you [!@#$%^&*]."

Jenn

"I beg to differ. And bitch, you'd better take a step back."

Jodie takes another step toward Jenn.

Jenn (her eyes flashing rage)

"I swear to God…"

Jodie

"What? Oh, you don't want to get a drop of my dirty, tainted blood on you, do you? Bitch please."

Jenn steps back, against her car, her eyes opened wide.

Jodie

"Honey, I've made a decision… My life never has been easy. Everyone has been fu(king me over since the day I stepped foot in Pasadena. But you know what? I'm not going anywhere."

Jenn

"That's too bad Jodie. Then I guess I'll be delivering the 'show-stopper' at the fashion show."

Jodie

"No, actually, you won't." Jodie moves closer to Jenn.

Jenn

"Step the fu(k back bitch."

Jodie

"You're the bitch whose going to step down. Tell me you'll keep your mouth shut at that show."

Jenn

"I already told you what I have planned."

Jodie (sighing)

"Well then . . . I was hoping it wouldn't come to this."

Jenn

"What?"

Jodie pulled out a pocket knife out of her purse.

Jodie

"You won't be telling anyone anything because I'm leaving with your nasty little venomous tongue."

Jenn

"Stay away from me!"

Jodie stepped closer to Jenn.

Jodie

"You fu(king skank! I'm warning you, I won't lose my reputation. You will not ruin my life. Tell me that you'll stop this."

Jenn

"What if I don't?"

Jodie

"Then you're in for a world of pain."

Jenn

"Jodie, come on, put the knife down."

Jodie

"You know what? You're right." She threw the knife at the ground. "I wasn't going to slice and dice you. I wanted to see you freak out, to make you pee in your little thong panties. Anyway, this knife is way too nice to use on your ugly face. I thought if you saw the blade, you'd back down. But, I guess not." Jenn screams as she sees Jodie's fist fly into her face. The punch to her nose knocks Jenn to her knees.

Jodie

"What did you say honey? Oh, don't worry, you can always just pick another nose out of a catalogue."

Jodie then slams her knee into Jenn's face. Jenn's head hit the side of the building.

Jodie

"Sweetie, there's a lot more where that came from. You've been warned." She turns on her heel and walks toward the back entrance.

Jenn scrambles to her feet and run towards Jodie. She jumps Jenn and grabs her throat.

Jodie bucks and thrashes. She tries to throw Jenn off of her back. Jenn tightens her grip as Jodie chokes and sputters. Jodie throws herself and Jenn to the ground. Jenn moans in pain as she hits the pavement. Her hands move from Jodie's neck to her face. She claws at Jodie's cheeks and sticks two fingers in her eyes.

Jodie

"You [!@#$%^&*]!" She rolled over in pain. "This face has gotta be in a show in a few minutes."

Jenn (in a raspy voice)

"I'll fu(king trash you."

Jodie

"Just try it."

Jodie rolls over and slams her fist back into the Jenn's face. Jenn flails around and claws without direction. Jodie keeps Jenn pinned and continues beating her. Blood gushes from Jenn's nose and lips. A few of Jenn's teeth fly out her mouth as Jodie keeps pounding her.

Jodie

"The claws are out now bitch! And mark my words… if you fu(k with my life, I won't hesitate to tear you apart with my bare hands. I'll destroy you, fu(king annihilate you. Do you understand me? I hope that I won't have to kill you. You aren't worth the effort of hiding a body. Honey, your man wants me. Nothing you can do will change that. Open your eyes! You must not be keeping him satisfied. I have HIV for fu(ks sakes and he'd still rather sleep with me. I guess he'd rather risk death by AIDS than death by boredom."

Jenn shoves her off and gets to her feet. She's bleeding and bruised, breathing heavily,

Jenn

"You're fu(king crazy! And everyone's going to know it!"

Jodie just walks back inside as Jenn wipes blood from her mouth. She see her teeth on the ground and cries.

Jenn

"That bitch better not walk down that runway." She walks back inside the building.

Outside of Natalia's office, Ashley lurks around the corner and listens to her enemies talk.

Sabryn

"What makes you think another fashion show is going to do you any good? This company is going under fast."

Natalia

"Shut the hell up. Do I come to your office harassing you? Why are you even here? Insecure Sabryn? If you didn't feel threatened by Divine Design, you wouldn't be here talking trash. Who are you trying to fool? Divine Design might be down, but it's not out. Last time I checked, SG was still trailing in sales."

Natalia starts to walk out.

Sabryn

"This fashion show will not happen."

Natalia

"Who's going to stop it?"

Sabryn

"You'll be surprised" Sabryn turns back and brushes past Natalia.

Natalia

"God help anyone who stands in my way."

Natalia then leaves her office.

Around the corner, Ashley watches both her enemies leave Natalia's office. Ashley discreetly follows her prey, but she doesn't realize that someone is also following her.

Rufus enters the show room. She sees Suga across the room standing next to Hope. She then sees Jenn and is shocked by Jenn's scratched up face and her blood stained, messed up hair.

Jodie walks out on the stage. Natalia is stunned to see the disheveled Jodie. She rushes over to her.

Natalia

"What the hell is going on?"

Jodie

"I promised you that nothing would ruin this fashion show. I have to do this."

Jodie grabs a microphone and walks up onto the runaway. The audience gasps as the media snaps photos.

Natalia

"Oh my God, not again!" Natalia runs onto the run way and tries to stop Jodie.

Jodie

"Nat please. Jenn tried to ruin the fashion show again. Enough is enough."

Jodie then turns around to the crowd and looks in Jenn's shocked eyes.

Jodie

"I just want to say, I apologize to Natalia for everything." She pauses. "You see, I have HIV."

At first the words are met with stunned silence. After a moment, people begin to chatter.

Jenn (shaking her head back and forth)

"What the hell is she doing?"

Once the audience chatter dies down, Jodie continues.

Jodie

"I'm not afraid to admit it. I have made mistakes but I'm still a good person. I wanted to make Natalia proud. Hell, I wanted to make myself proud by proving that I can live a normal life. But you see, sometimes people in my life have other ideas. Natalia, I just want you to know that Jennifer Hammon, that woman right there . . ."

Jodie points to a red-faced Jenn.

Jodie

" . . . she found out that I am HIV positive. She tried to blackmail me with this information. She told me to walk out on this fashion show, just like she did at the last fashion show. She ordered me to leave Mike, the first man who has really loved me. She told me to leave town. And if I didn't do exactly what she said, she promised to expose my secret to everyone at the fashion show, to tell all of you that I am HIV positive. There you have it Jenn? Happy now? The battle is over and I win!"

Natalia grabs Jodie and hugs her. Natalia picks up the microphone and turns to face media. Suddenly a gunshot rings out and seven-month pregnant Natalia falls to the ground from a shot to her back.

Sabryn, Rufus, Suga, Ashley and Bryan all smile when they realize Natalia has been shot. Suga grabs Hope and begins to walk out of the Hotel when they bump into a woman. Suga stops in her tracks upon seeing the woman's face.

Hope

"What's going on Sugar? You know this woman?"

Woman

"I bet you thought you'd never see me again."

Suga

"Dahlia?!"……….dahlia_salem_1.jpg

BRAVO!!!!! BRAVO!!!! BRAVO!!!! - FIRST and FOREMOST... This was just BEAUTIFUL - I FEEL like IT was a CROSS between "POINT PALACE and A HAND of HEART and DIAMONDS"... I say that because - MAN, I don't how to explain... U know my works, I dialogue, and characters driving pieces, and THIS EPISODE O STEAM has it all... It was a WHOLE EPISODE, I saw the beginning, the middle and the end... THESE ARE WHAT I WANT TO SEE MORE... You did it man... You Nailed it!!!!!

The LENGHT of the episode didn't matter to me, it seem timeless, cause it was focus around these group of the cast, and you get to see how strong, and how different each and individuals they are. man I am renaming this episode to "The Woman".... It was just wonderful.

I Mentioned PP and HHD for two reason. 1. The CATFIGHTS reminded of the Bad Girls of PP, and the layout of the episode, and the way it flow, dialogue, and the surprises on top of one another reminded of HHD.

FIVE STARS!!!!!! FIVE BIG ONE!!!!

Jodie's speech brought tears to my eyes... Finally she starts accepting the fact she is sick there's nothing she can do about it, and keeping the secret isn't helping anyone... Now that everything is out of the open she can go on living her life the way she was meant to... I hope this new Chapter of her life, and with the strenght she is getting, and the surports of other, she will mark this day, as the day of her BIRTH!!! The New Jodie, The strong Jodie... Girl I am lighting a candle for you...

I'm still learing about these characters but I really liked the Ashley and Alexis stuff. They seem like close sisters.

And the fashion show stuff was great! SO intense. I really like the character Jodie.

Is anyone really dead in STEAM? This was a powerhouse episode. Very fast paced and exciting.

Let's start with the return of Ashley. She's purely psychotic and overly possessive as she always was. Loved seeing her back on the canvas.

Hope being in Passadena is a little strange but Hope smoking crack with Suga and Rufus, makes perfect sense.

The catfight between Jodie and Jenn was necessary. I was so happy that Jodie beat Jenn's ass and I like that you incorporated the "knife" wielding skills from the previous cat fight. It was also very powerful that Jode admitted to everyone her big secret.

Even though it was a shock to see Dahlia, I thought it was a little too much. First we had the return of Ashley and now Dahlia! Also, why couldn't it have been a cliffhanger. Who shot the big bad bitch of Passadena?

It was still a really good episode and I'm on pins and needles to find out what's going to happen next.
