INT. LIMO - DAY

(James/Phillip/Alex/Beth/Lizzie/Bill/Alan)

Alexandra closes down her compact mirror to gaze over at Phillip, who is impatiently looking down at his watch.

Alex: Looking down at that watch is not going to speed your father up. That man is going to do anything he can to avoid attending the barbecue.

James: I say we leave without him.

Lizzie: I second that motion. Why does Grandfather have to even go? We all know he hates the Bauers and vice versa. Let's just spare everyone the agony and leave him here.

Phillip: Because he's going.

Beth: Well I'd wish he'd hurry. Rick is waiting on us at the park to help set up.

Phillip: I know. (glances at watch again) Where the hell is he?

The limo door opens and Alan coldly slides in. The car takes off.

Phillip: Glad you finally decided to join us, Dad.

Alan doesn't react.

Beth: Alan, are you ok?

Alex: Yes, brother, are you ok? I mean I know you hate the Bauers but do you have to look so stone cold?

Alan: I'M FINE. Can't a man just since in silence? (to James) Fix me a drink.

James fixes Alan. He tries to go for a sip of it when Beth snatches it from him, handing it over to Alan.

Alex: Well whatever has your panties in a bunch needs to happen more often if you are going to remain silent.

Phillip: I am all for it.

INT. CROSS CREEK - DAY

Reva stand in front of the mirror adjusting her hat when Jeffrey walks up behind her, wrapping his arms around her.

Reva: What, Jeffrey?

Jeff: Nothing. Just realizing how lucky I am.

Reva: Umm Hhmm. Whatever. You are still worried about me accepting that position with Lewis Construction.

Jeffrey: No...why would I be worried.

Reva breaks free of Jeffery's grip, facing off with him. She gives off that she is onto him.

Reva: O'Neill, I know you are worried about me and Josh working together again...

Jeff: Again, why would I be worried?

Reva: I don't know but you have been moping around this house for past few days since Josh offered the position back.

Jeff: Reva--

Reva: Look -- if you don't want me to take the job then just say so.

Jeff: I'm just worried about Colin. That's all.

Reva: Lewis has a nursery.

Jeff: That Josh just recently had installed.

Reva: (throwing her hands up in defeat) Here we go.

Jeff: What do you mean, here we go?

Reva: Just admit it, Jeffery! You are jealous of--

Josh barges into the house, distraught.

Josh: Reva, Marah is in trouble.

And on Reva's uneasiness,
