EXT. SPRINGFIELD CITY PARK - DAY

Buzz stands at the grill cooking while Cyrus lumbers beside him, downing a beer.

Buzz: So what were you two arguing about the other day?

Cyrus: (puzzled) Who -- what are you talking about?

Buzz: You and Phillip. What were you two arguing about?

Cyrus: Nothing. Nothing at all.

Buzz: It couldn't have been about nothing. The tension was too thick.

Cyrus laughs to throw Buzz off.

Cyrus: It was nothing. Honest, Buzz. Nothing at all.

Buzz: Ok now.

Buzz's phone rings. He answers it.

INT. COMPANY - DAY

Lillian stands at the counter with phone to her, serving the customers.

INTERCUT - TELEPHONE CONVERSATION

Buzz: Hello?

Lillian: Hey, Buzz, I need you come and pick me up at Company.

Buzz: (jokingly) Well I'm kind of doing something now.

Lillian: I know but my car won't start and I have the auto club coming to pick it up. So I have no other way to the cookout.

Buzz glances at Cyrus for a second.

Buzz: (to Lillian) Hold on for a second, babe. (to Cyrus) Could you handle this for me? (gesturing to the grill)

Cyrus: Of course.

Buzz: (to Cyrus) Thanks. (to Lillian) I'm on the way now. Love you.

Lillian: Love you too, Buzz.

Buzz hangs up the phone. Buzz hands Cyrus the fork and scurries off.

EXT. PARKING LOT - DAY

Rafe and Daisy, struggling to carry the coolers, head into the park entrance when Buzz rushes past them.

Daisy: (looking back) Gramps, where are you going?

Buzz: To pick up Lillian, I'll be back. Hold the fort down until I or Rick gets back.

Daisy: Alright!

Rafe and Daisy continue on heading into towards the park entrance until a black Benz whips into the parking spot next to them. Exiting the car very seductively is non other than Blake, wearing a slick, black, provocative dress being the maneater she is. (YES, Blake is a maneater, this is my story darn it! ) Hopping out the front seat is Clarissa, they are not alone! Jason and Kevin are back! They are with them as well. (Kevin of course, fair-haired, and logical like Ross. Jason, dark, a wild card, unpredicatable, like his good ole grandpa, Roger)

Blake: (to Daisy) Hey you! I heard your mother is back in town. How is she doing?

Daisy: I don't know. Don't care to be honest. I haven't really spoken to her myself.

Blake: Oh you two well make up soon. (to Rafe) And how are you?

Rafe: I'm fine, Blake.

Clarissa runs over and hugs Rafe.

Rafe: Hey Clarissa.

Blake: (realizing she has yet to introduce her son) Oh! Daisy, Rafe, meet my sons, Jason & Kevin; Daisy, you remember them don't you? They've just returned back from England and are here to attend Springfield U with you all in the fall. They've been in England with their great-grandma, Barbara.

Daisy: How great!

Daisy shakes Jason's hand. And then Kevin, who is shy and slouching around in the background. Daisy smiles to ease his pains and Kevin is immediately stricken by her smile.

Kevin: It looks as if you were struggling with that cooler. Let me help you with that.

Daisy: Thanks.

Kevin grabs the cooler and Daisy leads him into the park followed by Rafe, Jason, and Clarissa.

Blake: (about Kevin) Such a gentleman.

EXT. BAUER HOME - DAY

Alan Michael, still hidden behind the bushes looks in at Ed and Rick. For a second, he looks as he is going to go for and ring the doorbell when a car pulls up, ending the moment. Alan Michael goes back into hiding in the bushes.

Rushing down the driveway is Phillip and Beth. Rick opens the door to greet and embrace them. Alan Michael still watches on from a far.

Rick: What are you guys doing here?

Phillip: To pick you guys up. Is everything ready?

Rick: I was going to take my car. And plus me and my dad in the car with Alan...

Phillip: Aw come on. Beth, help.

Beth: Rick, come on. Please, for me.

Ed interjects into the conversation.

Ed: Go ahead. Plus I am waiting on Michelle to call back. She had another call from the D.C. It was probably Meta.

Rick: Dad, you sure?

Ed: (laughing) This is so awkward for you to ask me for permission. Go! I can handle it and get things into the car. If not, Michelle and Danny should be here from Monticello by the time everything gets done.

Phillip: How are Danny and Michelle?

Ed: Great. Now that Danny won the mayor position in Monticello, things are going well. That town could use him to help clean up its high crime rates. Plus their closer to home. I would've preferred Bay City, Oakdale, Somerset, or Henderson but I can deal with Monticello.

Rick: Well I will call you, Dad, to check up on things every now and then. (grabs coat) Bye, Dad.

Rick, Beth, and Phillip depart. We hear Alan moan (assuming from the sight of Rick) and the car pulls off.

Ed closes the door. Alan Michael comes from the bushes and approaches the door yet again. Just as he is about the push the doorbell the telephone rings from inside. A-M peers inside the nearby window, listening in. Ed is on the phone, talking to someone. It's pretty serious.

Ed: Michelle...breathe, honey. I can't understand you through sobs...Michelle!

A-M is worried. It's now or never. He rings the doorbell.

Ed: (to Michelle) Collect yourself and I will be back. (rushes to the door) Who is it?

Ed opens the door and is bewildered to see A-M standing in from the of the door.

Ed:...Alan Michael?

A-M: Hey, Uncle Ed. I'm home.
