Life Changing Decisions Are Made in Springfield...



Country Club:



Vi walks to Coop.
She confesses everything, "I'm in love with you!"
Coop shakes his head, "I don't understand. Vi what is the joke? I don't even get it."
She cries, "I've been in love with you for so long Coop!"
He backs away, "I'm still Mr. Bradshaw."
She shakes her head, "Somewhere along the line you stopped being my teacher. You became my one true love. All of the time we were spending together. Every moment we share meant so much to me."
Coop is in shock, "Vi what moments? What are you talking about?"
She sighs, "Don't act like you weren't there! You were driving me home from school, telling me about Romeo and Juliet, helping me, telling me I'm smart and special."
Coop sighs, "Vi I'm your teacher. I'm teaching you. That's my job. I never meant to lead you on."
Vi cries, "No! Don't say that to me."
Coop sighs, "I'm so sorry."
She grabs him, "I'm in love with you."
Suddenly the principal walks over, "Is something wrong Mr. Bradshaw?"
Coop and Vi turn to see staring at them.



Police Station:


Gus is leaving work.
He is walking to his car and getting ready to head home.
Susan is waiting next to it, "What took you so long to get here? I was about to leave."
Gus smiles, "I didn't expect to see you here. Your Mom is inside you know? She could come out."
She nods, "I know. She just left our house. So I thought maybe I would stop by and surprise you."
He walks towards her, "I need this. I had a long ass day today. I tried to get Edmund Winslow behind bars."
She sighs, "You know he was always nice to me when I was a kid."
He nods, "Well he's a real jerk. And I promised Olivia that I would do everything I could get him off the streets."
Susan looks at him, "Okay there are a few things we need to address. What's going on with you and Olivia. Because I"m not going to be some home wrecker okay?"
Gus shakes his head, "Nothing is going on between Olivia and I. We are friends. Besides she has enough on her plate."
Susan and Gus get into his car.



Spaulding Mansion:


Annie, Dinah, and Olivia are all in the office.
Annie looks at them, "So right now I'm working on my plans for Spaulding. This summer is when the board members start voting. And as it turns out, half the town is throwing their hats in the ring."
Dinah chuckles, "It's going to be so much fun when all of them lose to you. They have no idea who they are dealing with."
Olivia looks at Annie, "I need your help with something. You were able to get Mallet his job for Dinah. I need you to do something for me."
Annie nods, "What is it Olivia?"
Olivia sighs, "I need you to get rid of Edmund."
Annie nods, "Who is that?"
Dinah sits up, "Edmund Winslow is a monster. He once left me in a burning building to die. He made my life hell and now he is going after Olivia. And my little brother Bill. I agree he has to be stopped."
Annie nods, "I'm not Alan. I can't just have someone killed. It's not my style. I'm sorry."
Olivia nods, "I'm not asking that. But I need at least something. Something to get him out of town."
Dinah turns to Annie, "We can see what we all can do right?"
Annie smiles, "Right. Because soon we will be in full control of Spaulding. And then we will take the rest of Springfield. But first I need something else from the two of you."
Olivia and Dinah look at each other.



Natalia's House:


Rafe walks upstairs.
He goes into his bedroom.
Rafe is shocked when he sees Alan standing in the middle of his room.
Rafe stares at his Grandfather, "Why are you in my room?"
He looks around and see his room has been torn a part.
Alan shakes his head at him, "What the hell is wrong with you Raphael? I thought you were better than this."
Rafe scoffs, "What the hell? Are you just gonna start going through my stuff now? You are such a ass."
Alan is angry, "Don't you dare talk to me like that? After what you have done. This will kill your mother."
Rafe laughs, "Are you serious? It's not like something no one ever does. It's just something I do in my free time. I'm not hurting anyone."
Alan shakes his head, "I hope we are talking about different things. Because if we aren't than you are more messed up than I had thought."
Rafe is confused, "What are you talking about?"
Alan grabs him, "You were working with Aubrey Cross! You helped her torture your cousin Elizabeth! You helped her kidnap little Sarah! You are a criminal Raphael."
Rafe realizes Alan knows everything.



Farmhouse:


Liz sits with Sarah in her bedroom.
Jonathan walks in, "Is she sleeping?"
Liz nods, "Yes. Finally. She had a long day. She is still a little shaken up. Hopefully she will be able to forget about all of this one day. But right now she is still terrified."
Jonathan sits with them, "She is so beautiful when she sleeps. Looks like a little angel."
Liz nods, "I know. She told me to stay with her until she fell asleep. But I can't leave her alone. I just don't feel safe here. I mean we have no idea where Aubrey is. She could be anywhere."
He sighs, "I know. I feel like every time I turn around I have to prepare myself to see her standing over me with a knife."
She shakes her head, "No you don't have to worry about yourself. She loves you. I'm the one she wants dead."
He sighs, "Well she supposedly loves Sarah and look what she has done to her. But the fact of the matter is that Aubrey is carrying my child. And I need to worry about the safety of that child."
Liz sighs, "I just have this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that Aubrey is going to do something very very bad."


Marina's House:


Aubrey is pouring gasoline all over Marina's house.
Marina can't get up, "What is going on?"
Aubrey shushes her, "Don't you worry. In a little while you'll be gone. And your baby will be safe. It's about what's best for that little boy. And that's me. My little Johnny. He's so adorable."
Marina tries to get up but falls back down.
Aubrey picks up the baby, "Look at you little guy. You'll be alright. We're about to leave."
Aubrey walks towards the doorway.
She takes some keys off of the wall, "Well you won't be needing these anytime soon."
Marina passes out.
Aubrey sighs, "That's nice. Maybe you won't feel a thing. Goodbye Marina. You really were a great friend."
Aubrey takes a match and lights it.
She throws it on the floor before she leaves.
As Aubrey walks away the fire spreads quickly throughout the house.

PART TWO:



Side of Road:

Gus and Susan lay in the back of the car.
She turns to him, "I think this is illegal."
Gus laughs, "I know it is. But it was worth it."
She sighs, "Gus... what is this? What is this that has been going on between the two of us?"
He looks at her, "I honestly am not sure. But no matter how wrong it may look or sound. It feels good."
She laughs, "Sex is always good."
He shakes his head, "It's different. We understand each other. I think we have been through a lot together and we get it. We know what the other wants and is thinking."
She smiles, "Is that all?"
He grins, "And your hot."
She shoves him, "You are a goofball!"
He laughs, "That's what Harley always said-"
She sits up, "Okay. I'm going to go."
He sighs, "I didn't mean it like that."
She is getting dressed, "You know what I've been wondering this all along and now I am starting to realize the truth."
Gus sighs, "Stop being so dramatic."
She climbs out, "No I'm not! You are sick. The only reason for any of this is because of you being a freak. You only want me because I resemble my mother. And you want her."
Susan slams the door and leaves.

Spaulding Mansion:
Annie walks around.
Dinah and Olivia are waiting for her to explain.
She walks towards them, "So the thing is that soon we will start voting on the CEO. I'm not sure how it will work. First we vote on the system we will use to vote. Then we need to make sure the votes go our way. But the problem is that it will eventually come down the main stock holders. The Spauldings."
Dinah nods, "The Spauldings are going to vote for themselves."
Annie sighs, "Some will but we have to go after certain Spauldings. The Spauldings that aren't really Spauldings."
Olivia is confused, "What are you talking about?"
Annie sits at her desk, "The people who are married into the family. And there are two people I have in mind."
Olivia shakes her head, "You don't mean..."
Annie nods, "Mel and Natalia."
Dinah shakes her head, "Mel isn't even married in."
Annie nods, "She will be. I'm sure they'll get married soon before the votes start. And Mel will receive stock and a vote."
Olivia sighs, "But they will want to vote for their husbands."
Annie nods, "And I need you two to make your friends see that Alan and Alan Michael are not right for the jobs."
Dinah sighs, "I don't know Annie. I don't want to bring Natalia and Mel into all of this."
Annie smiles, "Our alliance is building girls. It's time to share the wealth. I think the five of us will make a very good team."
Olivia and Dinah look at each other and wonder if they can bring their friends into this.

Country Club:
The Principal is staring at Vi and Coop.
Coop pulls away, "Oh. Vi is just very upset. She had an argument with another girl. I'm going to calm her down and she'll be fine."
The Principal nods and goes back into the dance."
Vi pulls away, "Wow. Are you really that ashamed of me? Do I disgust you that much?"
Coop shakes his head, "Vi you can't keep talking like that there is nothing going on between us."
Vi cries, "Because of her! She is coming between us. How could you let that happen?"
He sighs, "Vi you are confused."
She shouts, "I'm not confused! I get it now. You are dating my Aunt Stephanie. You knew that and you didn't ever tell me that! I've been falling in love with you! You are more than just my teacher."
He backs up, "No. Vi we will never be more than that. Now I'm sorry if I ever gave you the wrong idea."
Vi backs up, "I'm not going to give up on you Mr. Bradshaw."
A tearful Vi runs out of the building.
Coop is left speechless.

Alan & Natalia's:
Alan throws Rafe down.
Rafe looks up, "You are a nutcase."
Alan shouts, "Me? Wait until you meet the freaks in prison. They are going to be a lot worse."
Rafe sighs, "I'm trying to do something for the family."
Alan scoffs, "By kidnapping Sarah? How did you even get involved with this Aubrey?"
Rafe shakes his head, "You don't get it. We teamed up. We were supposed to break up Jonathan and Liz."
Alan sighs, "Well look now. Aubrey has been caught. The cops are looking for her. And when they find her, she will roll over on you. I know. I've been there a million times."
Rafe looks at him, "Wow. Granddad I thought you of all people would be proud of me for this."
Alan shakes his head, "What do I have to be proud about?"
Rafe stands up, "I'm just being a Spaulding. I needed Liz to work on the business stuff with me. And now I got what I wanted. I got what you wanted. We're Spauldings."
A disappointed Alan leaves Rafe in his room.
Rafe begins to pick up the mess.

Farmhouse:
Jonathan and Liz are still with a sleeping Sarah.
Jonathan pats her on the back, "You are really good with her. I know it took a while but you two have really bonded."
Liz nods, "Yeah no thanks to Aubrey. I mean she was always telling Sarah that she shouldn't be nice to me or trust me."
He sighs, "I let her manipulate Sarah."
Liz sighs, "You didn't know. It's not your fault Jonathan. Believe me if it was I'd let you know."
He turns to her, "I just wanted to badly for Aubrey to be a good woman. I guess she reminded me of..."
She nods, "Tammy. I know. I saw it too. But Tammy is gone."
He nods, "I know. I think about her all of the time. And I think I know what she wants me to do."
Liz looks at him, "What is that?"
Jonathan turns to her, "I need to protect Sarah. I think that you and I need to cut our losses here and leave Springfield for good."
Liz turns away, "Leave Springfield? My whole family is here. Your whole family is here."
He nods, "I know. But I made this mistake with Tammy. I kept waiting for the right moment to leave town. But I waited to long and she paid the price. I won't let that happen again. Liz please. We need to get Sarah out of here before something worse happens."
Liz takes his hand, "I'll start to make arrangements."
Jonathan hugs Liz.

Marina's House:
Marina's home is up in flames.
Marina begins to wake up.
She is having a hard time remembering what is going on.
Marina tries to crawl around, "My baby. The fire... help me please. Baby Daniel. Daniel! Where are you?"

Outside David pulls up.
He was driving home since he and Lucy were house sitting.
David runs in front of the house, "Oh my God! Marina!"
Marina inside hears him, "Help me please!"
David here's her and kicks in the door.
David sees a bloody Marina in the living room.
Marina shouts, "Help me I need Danny! I need my Danny!"
David starts to pick her up, "Danny is dead!"
She shouts, "No I need... Danny!"
A confused David carries her, "No Danny would want you to be safe. We have to leave the house is going to explode."
Marina kicks and screams, "No! She got Danny! Let go! I need my-"
David finally gets her out of the door when the house explodes.
David and Marina go flying across the yard.
