Alexis's Penthouse

Rufus walks out from the kitchen area with a bowl of popcorn in his hand, wearing a long white robe and a green facial mask on her face.

Just as he turns on the TV, the door bell rings.

Rufus

"This better be good… they got nerve interrupting my favorite show, 'Chic's with Dicks.'"

He goes to the door and opens it to see Lisa and Alexis.

Alexis

"Whoa, didn't know it was Mardi Gras?"

Alexis steps into the suite. Lisa follows her.

Rufus

"What do you want?"

Lisa

"My client has thought about your offer..."

Rufus

"And?"

Alexis

"And I'll..."

Lisa quickly gets between Alexis and Rufus.

Lisa

"She agrees to work with you... under one condition."

Rufus

"OK... I'm listening."

Lisa

"Co-CEO."

Rufus

"Wow! This is great! I promise you, you will not be disappointed."

Alexis

"Oh, trust me, I will be watching your every move."

Rufus

"And I always will be one step ahead of you."

Lisa

"Sounds like we've reached an agreement. Ladies, would you do me a favor? Try not to kill each other. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to run."

Rufus

"Don't worry, Lisa. Alexis will be just fine."

Rufus ushers Lisa out of the suite. After closing the door, she turns to Alexis.

Rufus

"Now that that's settled, you and I need to get a couple of things straightened out. If this partnership is going to work at all, we are going to have to trust one another."

Alexis

"Go on, I'm listening."

Rufus

"First and foremost, Natalia must be eliminated."

Alexis

"I couldn't agree more."

Rufus

"Where you failed, I will succeed."

Alexis

"What's that suppose to mean? I didn't try to kill to her."

Rufus

"Really?"

Alexis

"Really, I didn't."

Rufus

"All I'm saying is we have to be a step ahead of our enemies. That means that our top priority is eliminating Sabryn and Natalia."

Alexis smiles as she thinks about a world without Sabryn and Natalia.

Alexis (thinking to herself)

"I might not have to do anything after all. I can sit back and watch the tranny bury herself...and get rid of my enemies in the process. This partnership thing may not be such a bad idea after all."

She extends her hand out to Rufus.

Alexis

Partner?

Rufus

Partner!

They shake hands.

Episode: 96, Chics with Dicks!

Written by: ML Cooks, Durand Saint Hilaire, Tara Smith, with Mio Slater

In an undisclosed location, Abe walks into the room where Sharan, Ashley and Bryan Jr. the 1st are. Sharan and Abe are stunned to see one another. Abe is also surprised to see Ashley.

Abe

"Ashley."

Ashley

"In the flesh. Don't even think you are going to come in here with moral authority. I have no respect for you."

Abe

"I see everyone here knows."

Mona

"Before long, the whole city will know."

Abe

"Sharan, it's good to see you."

Mona bashes her father in the head with her gun. Abe falls to the ground. Sharan is shocked and BJ the 1st starts crying.

Ashley

"You made my baby cry. Next time you decide to attack someone, give me a little warning. I don't want my child subjected to this."

Mona

"Here's a tip . . . don't piss me off. That's not even your child."

Ashley

"Keep your damned mouth shut! I don't want everyone knowing that."

Mona (points her gun at Ashley)

"I'll say whatever I damned well please... 'cause I'm the one running the show here."

Sharan

"Kelis, please! Calm down. It's OK."

She walks up to Mona and hugs her.

Sharan

"I think you need to smoke your drugs. Jesus, I can't believe I just said that."

Sharan's voice soothes and calms down Mona. She pulls the gun away from Ashley. Ashley tries to calm the frantic tears of the baby as she holds him her arms. She decides to leave.

Mona sits down and reaches into her afro. She pulls out a sack of weed and a small pipe. She fixes up her Mary to smoke it.

Sharan stands over Abe and wonders if he's OK. She really wants to ask him if Mona's allegations of sexual abuse are true. Sharan, then walks up behind Mona. Mona jumps up.

Mona

"What are you doing?"

Sharan

"Relax. I'm going to massage your shoulders."

Mona

"I don't like anyone walking up behind me. My eyes need to be on you at all times. If I can't see you, I get crazy."

Sharan

"Baby, Kelis...relax. All I want is to is make you feel good."

She says escorting Mona to sit down which she does. Sharan begins rubbing and massaging on Mona's shoulders. The more puffs of her pipe she takes, the more Mona feels at ease. She's completely high. The woman she has wanted for over a year is finally giving in to her.

Sharan knows Mona is beginning to trust her. She leans down and gently blows on Mona's neck. Sharan, maybe from suffering a contact, begins to kiss Mona's neck. Mona moans in ecstasy.

The Williams House

Sister Pat is still on the floor. Her face is covered in tears after her fights with Abe and Kevin over her affair with DC. She prays to the Lord and Miss Jenkins. She feels a tap on her shoulder and looks up to see her other son, Karim.

Karim (with tears in his eyes)

"Mom, what in the hell happened? DC told me Pops walked in on you and him…"

Sister Pat

"Son, forgive me. Don't be like your brother and Abe."

Karim

"I thought you were finished with that bastard! Now he's going around gloating about you breaking Pop's heart! I expected better from you."

Sister Pat

"I have sinned, Karim, I have sinned! I keep praying to the Lord, and to Miss Jenkins, for forgiveness!"

Karim

"Maybe you don't deserve forgiveness this time."

Sister Pat

"Son, not you too."

Karim

"Do you really think I'm just going to say something like 'My mom slept with my uncle again, oh well!'?!" Hell no! Don't you understand how much this hurts me?! My whole life, I've looked up to you. I used to think, my mother, she's one of those rare people who always does the right thing. She's not the typical parent or wife. She's something special. But believe me, I'll never think of you that way ever again!"

Sister Pat

"Karim, my baby, I am so full of shame and remorse for my horrible sin. You just don't know. But think about Miss Jenkins...what she would want you to say. You know she'd want you to forgive me."

Karim (getting visibly angrier)

"Who in the hell is Miss Jenkins?! Your whole life revolves around Miss Jenkins! Miss Jenkins this, Miss Jenkins that, you have to go visit Miss Jenkins…"

Sister Pat

"Don't no one talk like that about Miss Jenkins! Karim, you do not want to upset her!"

Karim

I'm so beyond tired of this insanity. It's over. I'm going to that damned house to find out who this woman is. And Mom, I'm sorry, but I don't care what you have to say about it."

Sister Pat (standing up)

Boy, don't! If you just barge into her house, you'll suffer her wrath. Miss Jenkins don't play that mess!

Karim ignores Sister Pat. He turns around, stomps out of the house and heads across the street. Sister Pat tries to run after him.

Karim approaches the dark house and kicks the door open!

Back downtown

TC Hotel

Alexis and Rufus's hand shake is interrupted by a knock at the door. Alexis goes to get it but Rufus stops her.

Rufus

"No, no sweetie. You've been locked up for a long time. No one's here for you."

Rufus answers the door. She sees a woman with her face covered by a red veil with a baby in a carriage. Alexis realizes it's Ashley.

Rufus

"Can I help you?"

Ashley

"Faggot."

Ashley walks off.

Rufus (hollering in the hallway)

"What else is new, you stupid bitch!"

Rufus slams the door. Alexis chuckles.

Rufus

"It's not funny. I get tired of being called names all the time."

Alexis

"Save it for a cup of coffee, girlfriend."

Alexis rushes out of the suite.

Rufus

"Something is going on here."

Rufus grabs his purse and decides to follow Alexis.

T.C. Hotel

Ty's office

Dre and Ty are holding each other at gun point.

Dre

"I'm packing heat too. Put the weapon down homie or there will be some real problems in here."

Ty

"Do you know who you're talking too? You are out numbered 100 to 1."

Dre (walks closer to Ty)

"I don't give a damn about all that."

Ty

"You've lost your mind."

Dre

"You ain't nothing man. You ain't a gansta. You got nothing on me. Now either get down or lie down."

Dre puts the tip of his gun against Ty's temple. Ty has no choice but to concede to defeat.

Dre

"Drop it before you get dropped."

Ty drops his gun.

Dre (presses the gun into Ty's temple)

"Now sit down and don't mutha fu(king move."

Ty remains silent. He thinks he can he turn things around. But he wonders if he is getting weak in the game.

Dre

"Never show another man your weakness. Now, I can exploit it. You're not so bad after all. You should have shot me when you had the chance."

Ty

"Quit talking and make your move. Only bitches talk as much as you do."

Dre

"Did you also know that bitches get killed for running off at the mouth? I'm not having this conversation again. You want Lauren dead, kill her your own damned self. And next time you point a gun at me, use it."

Dre gets up and walks out of Ty's office. Ty sits in his office chair, his head still spinning from what just happened. He can't believe that he allowed Dre to gain an upper hand.

Ty (a devious smile appears on his face)

"For now Dre, for now. You've crossed the line. I going to teach you a lesson you will never forget."

Lavender Hill

Santino pulls up to the mansion in the limo. Jenn is waiting in front. She gets in the limo and Santino drives off. He rolls down the window to the back seat and looks into Jenn's eyes.

Santino

"You look beautiful today."

Jenn (smiling back to him)

"Thank you."

Santino (turning his attention back to the road)

"Where we off to?"

Jenn

"The hospital."

Santino

"Is everything ok? Your new teeth didn't fall out, did they?"

Jenn

"Ha, ha, very funny a$$hole."

Santino

"I love when you get mad. It's a turn on."

Jenn flips him off.

Jenn

"I'm going to see Jodie."

Santino

"I don't think that's a good idea."

Jenn

"I didn't ask for your opinion or your permission."

Santino

"Seriously, Jenn, why are you going to see Jodie? It's not going to do any one any good. I hear she is on her death bed. Leave the woman alone."

Jenn

"I won't stop until Jodie is out of the picture."

Santino

"You really hate her huh?"

Jenn

"Hate doesn't come close to describing how I feel."

Santino

"What will Ty say about this?"

Jenn

"At this time I don't care about Tyler."

Santino

"I care about you."

Jenn smiles, enjoying the attention she is getting from Santino. Ty won't even acknowledge her,

Jenn

"You're playing a dangerous game coming on to me. Ty is capable of anything. I am sure he would not go for you double crossing him."

Santino

"What Ty doesn't know won't hurt him."

Jenn

"This isn't the way to the hospital. Where are we going?"

Santino

"I've got a surprise for you."

He speeds up on the highway. They are unaware that Karl is following them.

Back at TC Hotel,

Ashley and Alexis enter a conference room. Ashley is holding BJ the 1st.

Ashley

"Why is that sick man in your hotel room?"

Alexis

"Nice to see you too. Yeah, I got released from prison, thanks for caring."

Ashley

"Look, I'm sorry. A lot has been going on."

Alexis

"I am getting sick of all this. This can't go on, Ashley. Give it up. It's not worth it. Think of this child. This child, my own nephew, and I haven't had to chance to say hi or anything. Bryan doesn't love you. You have to realize that."

Ashley

"Oh, he loves me. Sabryn may be in the way right now, but soon, she'll be out of the picture."

Alexis

"What are you going to do?"

Ashley

"Go to the wedding and you'll find out. It will all happen there. The world will find out I am not dead after all."

Alexis

"I'm done with this Ashley. I can't stand by you anymore. I have my own problems right now. First, I've got Rufus trying to take my company. Then Karim...he's back in my life. I love him and I'm not going to mess up what we have for anything."

Ashley

"At least you know how I feel. I'll do anything to be with Bryan."

Alexis

"You're wrong. I'd like to think that I'm more sensible...a little saner than you."

Just then, the door opens. Rufus stands in the door way. Rufus sees Ashley and is shocked. Ashley pulls out her gun and takes aim.

Ashley

"Step in here, you beast in a dress."

Rufus

"Look honey...I don't know anything. I see nothing, OK? Alexis, you can have it all back...Divine Design, the suite. Just let me go, please."

Ashley

"Not on your sweet ass life."

Bryan Jr. begins to cry.

Ashley

"See what you did, fruit loop? You made my son cry. Alexis, meet your nephew. Now is a good time for the two of your to get acquainted. Why don't you take him upstairs and see if you can get him settled down? This tranny and I are going for a ride."

Rufus

"No.. no. Please."

Alexis

"I said that I was done with this. But I must admit, if good ole' Rufus disappears, that makes my life a whole lot easier. Carry on sis! I'll keep a look out for you."

She pushes the stroller past Rufus and smirks as she walks out. Ashley walks up to Rufus and snatches off her wig. Then she rips open Rufus's blouse and bra. The bra and silicon breasts fall to the floor.

Rufus

"Do you know how many dicks I had to suck to get those, you stupid bitch?!"

Ashley (jamming the gun into Rufus' back)

"It's time to be the man you are supposed to be. Now get to walking."

Alexis makes sure the coast is clear as her crazy sister kidnaps Rufus.
