Ava was stunned and couldn’t believe what she was witnessing. Bobbie quickly jumped off of Nate who seemed perturbed.

Ava:

What are you two doing?

Bobbie:

I can explain.

Nate:

(to Ava)

I think you should explain why you’re walking in on us.

Ava:

WHAT? I live here! Nate have you lost you mind?

Bobbie:

Actually yes. You see…I know everything. Well most of everything. I overheard your phone conversation and I know that I’m dying.

Ava:

Bobbie I never wanted you to hear that. That still doesn’t explain why you’re seducing my boyfriend!

Nate:

Wait? You and I are an item? How many girlfriends do I have?

Ava:

Just one. At least I thought we were still together. I only asked you to spend time with Bobbie but I didn’t mean molest her.

Nate:

I’m not molesting my girlfriend.

Ava:

Is this a joke? Did you two plan this out or something? Tell me what the hell is going on.

Bobbie:

Gladly. Whenever I found out that I was dying I decided to live Ava. I decided that it was time to be just like you and everyone else on this campus. Not my campus but Point Palace. You all have free lives. You love each other and you have sex! That’s what I wanted. I wanted someone to love me. I didn’t want to die a virgin.

Ava:

You could have found that with someone else. Not Nate.

Bobbie:

I hit him over the head with a book after he freaked out the first time. I thought I killed him but he just lost his memory.

Nate:

That explains a lot!

Bobbie:

(to Nate)

I’m sorry Nate. I never meant to cause any of this. That’s why I did it Ava. I did it because I wanted to be just like you. A normal human being. One who isn’t judged for an appearance or a disability.

Ava:

But you’re-

Bobbie:

Retarded. Mentally Challenged. Handicapped. I’ve heard them all.

Ava:

That’s not what I was going to say. You really are loved and you can be a normal person.

Bobbie:

No. No I can’t.

Bobbie begins to tear up as she heads for the door.

Ava:

Where are you going?

Bobbie:

I don’t know. But I don’t want anyone to find me!

Bobbie runs away again out of Ava’s door. Ava tries going after her but she was gone.

Ava:

(screaming)

BOBBIE WAIT!

Nate begins to exit too.

Ava:

Where are you going?

Nate:

Back to my place.

Ava:

Sorry for having you get mixed up in all of this. Are you okay?

Nate:

I’m fine. Just a little confused.

Ava places her hand on his shoulder. He looks at her. Nothing.

Nate:

I don’t remember. I don’t remember us.

Nate walked outside and back to The Palace Hotel. Ava couldn’t believe what just happened. She looks at her cell phone and pulls up James’s number. She was debating if she should call him or not.

Tanisha consoles her hurt chin. She gets back up to face Ginny.

Tanisha:

That’s one way to say hello!

Ginny:

Shut your mouth.

Ginny makes her way into Tanisha’s dorm and slams the door behind her. Tanisha backs away from her.

Tanisha:

What the hell are you doing here? Why aren’t you in Raleigh? I thought you wanted to go and find Owen.

Ginny:

Oh I found him alright. I also found out how you tried keeping me away from him. Do you know that I almost went to jail because of what you did?

Tanisha laughs at her.

Tanisha:

That worked out better than I thought. Look you play the victim so well that I actually pity you. However stay away from my man.

Ginny:

Pretty soon you two won’t be together anymore! Not after he finds what kind of a liar you really are. That’s actually where I’m going now. You can’t stop me.

Ginny begins to exit for the door until Tanisha lunges her for.

Tanisha:

The hell I can’t!

Tanisha tackles Ginny to the ground as the two roll around in a struggle. Tanisha gets on top of Ginny and slaps her across the face. Ginny kicks her off of her. Both girls stand up to face each other.

Ginny:

You never deserved him.

Tanisha:

You’ll never have him.

Ginny looks around and finds her collection of DVD movies. She grabs a few and proceeds to throw them at Tanisha. Tanisha shields herself and deflects the DVDs. She latches onto Ginny’s hair as Ginny pulls onto hers as well. The girls struggle again and flip each other over Tanisha’s couch, breaking the glass coffee table. They roll over the glass. Ginny strangles Tanisha and slaps her across the face until Tanisha elbows her in the mouth. Ginny stands up and leaves for the door.

Tanisha:

Oh that’s right. Run away. Like a scared little bitch.

Ginny turns back around and finds a glass photo of Tanisha and Owen.

Ginny:

You see this?

Tanisha:

Put that down!

Ginny throws it on to the ground and begins to stomp on it with her boots. Tanisha screams in agony.

Ginny:

He belongs to me! Always has.

Ginny leaves Tanisha’s room to find Owen. Tanisha begins to laugh as she lays on the ground. She grabs her digital camera and snaps picture after picture of all the damage that the cat fight caused.

Vi, Ryley, and Jason walk into Detective Miltner’s office. Dylan is by himself. He smiles at his siblings and his cousin.

Vi:

Hey you.

Ryley:

How’ve you been?

Dylan:

The same. Wanting more answers.

Jason:

That’s why we’re here. Hopefully we can get you some.

Vi:

Any change with Carrie?

Dylan:

Nope. She hasn’t woken up yet. Doctors said that they may have to conduct another surgery to see if she’s even able to-

Ryley:

At least you found out something.

Detective Miltner walks in with Lana. Lana looks at her children with concerned eyes.

Lana:

My family. How I’ve missed you all.

Dylan:

Can’t say the same for you.

Lana:

Dylan I know you’re going to regret those words.

Detective Miltner:

If you don’t mind, I think we should begin.

Vi:

Wait!

Detective Miltner:

Yes Vi?

Vi:

We’re still waiting for someone.

Ryley:

Who?

Vi:

Dad.

Lana:

Vi don’t tell me you called him in.

Sean walks into the room and looks around. Lana and Dylan weren’t happy to see him but Vi and Ryley were.

Sean:

Hello everyone.

Detective Miltner:

Now we can get started. I’m here to collect stories about where you all were during the wedding.

Sean:

I was out of town. Honestly I shouldn’t be here.

Lana:

No he wasn’t! I saw him the day before at his hotel room.

Sean:

You saw me with my bags. I left that night.

Detective Miltner:

Do you have an alibi Mister Asters?

Sean:

Yes I do.

Detective Miltner:

Good I’ll be expecting one very soon. Vi you and Ryley were both in the wedding, correct?

Ryley:

Yeah I was one of the groomsmen.

Jason:

As was I.

Vi:

And I was a bridesmaid. We were all getting ready to walk down the aisle so we weren’t able to see what was going on in the bridal chamber.

Ryley:

Ditto.

Dylan:

Well then I guess that leaves none other than dear old mom. Mind telling us what you were doing at the church even though I banned you?

Ryley:

Jason and I did stop her from coming in.

Jason:

At least we thought we did.

Sean:

She was determined to make a scene whenever we talked the previous day.

Lana:

Shut up Sean! Yes I went to the church but I was stopped by my son and nephew. Enough said.

Dylan:

I’m supposed to believe that? Mom we all know you too well.

Lana:

Fine. Yes I spoke with Carrie before the wedding. Actually she called me.

Lana begins her flashback. She spends her time alone in her hotel room. Until she gets a call from her room phone.

Lana:

Hello?

Carrie:

Lana it’s Carrie. Are you free to talk?

Lana:

To you? No way. Besides don’t you have a lot of other things to do? Like marrying my son and ruining his life?

Carrie:

That’s why I’m calling. I want you to be at the wedding.

Lana:

You have a funny way of showing it. What other surprises are you going to bring out? Maybe have Sean’s ex lover be the priest?

Carrie:

Dylan needs his family there.

Lana:

Dylan hates me because of what you did. You meddled and you dove into something that you really shouldn’t have.

Carrie:

Please just come and be civil.

Lana:

If I do…I’ll be wearing black!

Carrie:

Wear a trash bag for all I care. Just be there for your family.

Carrie hangs up with Lana and continues to get ready for her wedding. The flashback ends.

Dylan:

Thanks mom. And thank you Vi for inviting dad.

Vi:

He has a right to be here. I wholeheartedly believe in that.

Ryley:

He’s our father.

Dylan:

Along with others, our father and our mother are my suspects. Detective Miltner you can officially add these two on the list. The next time I want to see you mom and dad, is if you’re behind bars.

Dylan storms out of Detective Miltner’s office.

Ryley:

(sarcastic)

That went well.

Marli sat in a rental car in front of Bryan’s home. She was disguised as Nina.

Marli:

Just a little gift from me to you.

Marli takes photo after photo of Bryan in his house. He was pacing back and forth with a drink in his hand.

Marli:

I’ll make you go crazy!

Marli converted the pictures onto her Blackberry from the digital camera. Under her blocked number, she sent the pictures to Bryan. Marli watched him freak out. He swore that he saw her from in a car. Marli laughed as she sped off.

Marli:

You brought this upon yourself.

At The River Teal, Bryant acts like the perfect gentleman towards Nan by holding her seat for her. He sits across from her with a serious look on his face.

Nan:

This is interesting. I thought we would be having a private meeting in your office.

Bryant:

Nan there’s something that I like to do with all of my clients. I like to call it a trust ceremony.

Nan:

Sounds like fun.

Bryant:

After many years of defending numerous criminals and convicted and the accused, I always have them tell me the truth.

Nan:

Okay.

Bryant:

So Nan I want to know the truth. Did you do all of the things that you’re being sued for?

Nan takes a sip of her water and laughs.

Nan:

I can’t suppose that I can plead the fifth?

Bryant:

No. That’s not an option. If you don’t tell me the truth, I may not continue to be your lawyer.

Nan:

You play hardball. I like that.

Bryant:

Then answer my question.

Nan is silent.

Nan:

Yes. Jenny is telling the truth and so will everyone who she brings up on the witness stand.

Bryant:

Great. Looks like I have a lot of work to do.

Nan:

You and me both. I have to win this case! What am I going to do?

Bryant:

You are going to get on the phone and you are going to contact every person who is on your side. Including your parents!

Nan:

My parents don’t exactly get along.

Bryant:

They’re going to have to because they may be your only hope.

Kellan opens the door to his apartment for Alicia. She slowly walks into his room and looks around.

Alicia:

Very nice place doctor.

Kellan:

I guess it’s the price we get paid to save lives.

Alicia:

You’re worth every dollar.

Kellan:

Thank you. Can I get you something to drink or eat?

Alicia:

A glass of wine would be nice. If that’s okay to drink post surgery and all.

Kellan:

It’s fine. Doctor’s orders. White wine sound good?

Alicia:

Sounds great.

Kellan goes into his kitchen to pour her a glass. She continues to look around. She picks up a framed photo and examines it.

Alicia:

Is this your father?

Kellan:

Yes. I do call him daddy. I'm a southerner.

Kellan quickly replaces the photo from her hand with a glass of wine.

Kellan:

I hope that I’m not becoming too forward but…I was hoping you would…maybe stay the night.

Alicia:

You definitely work fast doc.

Kellan:

I’m sorry. It’s just…I like you. I think you’re a good soul. Someone who I want to get to know better.

Alicia:

I can say that the feeling is definitely mutual.

Kellan:

But?

Alicia:

But I’m having a good time and that’s all. You really have restored my faith in men. Hopefully you’re not the type to shoot me.

Kellan snickers at her comment and laughs at the irony as only he could.

Kellan:

Of course not. What kind of a person do you take me for?

Alicia moves in closer to Kellan.

Alicia:

I take you as someone who is caring and kind. Someone who I want to get to know also.

Kellan looks into her eyes and makes the first move. His lips touched hers. Their kiss was soon interrupted by a phone call.

Kellan:

Excuse me. It might be the job.

Kellan walks out onto the balcony of his apartment to take the call.

Kellan:

I was just talking about you. Yes I can definitely help you out. Right after I kill her, I’m all yours!

Kelan hangs up with his caller and turns around to look in on Alicia. His eyes turn from evil to loving.

Bryan reads The Point Palace Inquiry at his desk. Good things were said about him as president. It was the only thing that was calming him down. He looked at the phone. Waiting for her to call. Myra knocks on the door, which startles him.

Myra:

Your eight o’clock appointment is here.

Bryan:

Great. Send them in.

Myra:

And it’s quitting time for me.

Bryan:

I was just about to send you on your way.

Myra rolls her eyes at him. She opens the door for Juliana.

Bryan:

Myra? Please close the door.

Myra slams the door shut.

Bryan:

I swear it’s hard to find good help these days.

Juliana:

You really are high and mighty.

Bryan:

And that’s why I called you. I need you to help me stay that way.

Juliana:

What did you have in mind? I am very a busy woman. I’m dealing with some personal family matters.

Bryan:

So sorry to hear that.

Juliana:

Thank you.

Bryan:

But all personal feelings aside, we need to get down to business. You’re still in the business I assume?

Juliana:

Yes I am.

Bryan:

Good.

Bryan slides her a folder with a picture in it. She opens it up to look at who her target was.

Bryan:

I need you to destroy this person. They may know too much. And I can’t have that if I want to stay president.

Carlos is faced yet again with C.C. at the visiting center of The Cody County jail. She blows him a kiss before picking up the phone.

C.C.:

You’re looking well as always.

Carlos:

I’m here to see how your pregnancy is coming along.

C.C.:

It’s coming along just fine. I’m actually due very soon.

Carlos:

(shocked)

WHAT?!

C.C.:

Yeah the doctor said that I’m due any day now.

Carlos:

No…no…no. That can’t be possible.

C.C.:

But it is? Why are you so against it?

Carlos:

I have to be in court. I can’t be worrying about you having a baby.

C.C.:

Our baby.

Carlos:

I don’t think I can be there. I need more time.

C.C.:

Get real Carlos. This baby will be coming out very soon. I can feel it.

Carlos:

What do you want me to do C.C.? Break the law?

C.C.:

Why do you have to be in court to begin with? Did you commit a crime?

Carlos:

No. It’s for Jenny. She- It’s none of your damn business.

C.C.:

I think the answer is simple. If you don’t show up for the birth, not only will I tell Jenny what you’ve been hiding but I will make sure you lose everything. The love of your life and the family you’ll never have!

- - -

Jenny waits for her latte at The Palace Café. She is on the phone with Carlos but isn’t speaking. After four rings, she gets his voicemail and isn’t happy to leave a message.

Jenny:

Hey it’s me. Just wanted to let you know that Hayley called one final meeting before the big day. Don’t know where you are but…call me back or I’ll see you later. I love you. Bye.

Agatha slides Jenny her drink.

Agatha:

Now there’s a friendly face I haven’t seen in awhile.

Jenny:

Agatha!

Jenny leans over the counter to hug her.

Jenny:

I totally forgot you work here now. It’s so weird not seeing you at the hospital. Luckily I haven’t been there in awhile.

Agatha:

Well this place just suits me better. What brings you in?

Jenny:

Just needed a good place to clear my head…

Jenny notices Anna Lee walking in and her focus was on Nan’s triplet.

Jenny:

Hey Agatha it was great to catch up but will you excuse me? I have someone I need to see.

Agatha:

Of course dearie. Please tell Carlos to stop in and say hi. I miss him.

Jenny smiles at Agatha before making her way to Anna Lee.

Jenny:

We need to talk!

Anna Lee seems scared to see her. She quickly tries leaving but Jenny pulls her arm so that she couldn’t.

Anna Lee:

What do you want with me? I’ll let the lawyers know about this.

Jenny:

I’m not here to fight you.

Anna Lee:

Like I’d ever believe that. I know everything and I know how you feel about my family.

Jenny:

It’s true. I just want to ask you to please be honest in the courtroom. We both know what happened and you can speak the truth.

Anna Lee:

Nan’s my sister. I’m not going to betray her.

Jenny:

The lawyers are going to rip you to shreds. If you tell everyone what really happened then maybe it won’t be a blood bath.

Anna Lee:

Your threats mean nothing to me. See you in court Jenny.

Jenny shakes her head in disbelief before sitting down at a table by herself. Anna Lee is about to order until she sees Dylan walking outside with Vi, Ryley, and Jason. She moves closer to the window and watches him walk by.

Anna Lee:

(whispering)

Dylan.

Alley stands in front of John’s room but before she knocks on his door she calls Blake who is alone in his living room reading a play.

Blake:

Hey you. What are you up to?

Alley:

Oh just dealing with some crap before I go to bed. How are you?

Blake:

I’m doing well thanks. I felt like I haven’t seen you in forever.

Alley:

I know. I’ve just been really busy lately. We should get together soon.

Blake:

I agree. Dinner at The River Teal?

Alley:

Can you even afford that? You know because of the fact that you’re not earning a hefty president salary.

Blake:

Yeah I can swing it. Just because there’s a snake in the position doesn’t mean I lost my bite.

Alley:

Bye Blake.

Alley hangs up with Blake and knocks on John’s door. He answers it with a smile on his face.

John:

Come in.

Alley:

What now? What ever did I do to piss you off?

John:

You didn’t piss me off. I thought that we would have a celebration.

Alley:

National ex day?

John:

No. I finally realized that the main source of our problem is gone and I have you to thank for that. You got rid of Marissa.

Alley:

I thought you hated my method.

John:

They were kind of…well it was so you. However I thought we’d celebrate.

John pulls out a bottle of expensive wine from his refrigerator. He pours two glasses.

John:

It’s your favorite wine. Pinot Grigio. The best bottle in all of Cody.

John hands her a glass. She freezes in terror, not knowing what to do.

John:

Is there something wrong?

Alley puts the glass down.

Alley:

You probably poisoned it. No thanks John.

John:

When have I ever known Alley Robberts to turn down an expensive drink? Especially after she’s won.

Alley:

This is getting all to weird. I’m leaving.

John:

Please Alley have a glass or two or the whole bottle. You used to be able to drink like a fish. I insist.

John tries handing her the glass again and she takes it from him.

Alley:

I have half a mind to throw this in your face.

John:

Why aren’t you going to celebrate?

Alley:

Because…I…

John:

The situation is right so go ahead. Drink up.

Alley:

I can’t.

John:

I know.

Alley:

Know what?

John:

I want to hear you say it. Why can’t you drink?

Alley takes a deep breath before blurting out the truth.

Alley:

I’m pregnant.

John:

I knew it. Alley I knew you were hiding it. You had morning sickness the other day…that’s kind of the number one sign!

Alley:

Congrats you’re a great detective.

John:

So is it my baby?

Alley:

It’s either yours or Blake’s! I bet you didn’t see that one coming.

Alley leaves John’s room as his mouth has dropped. Little did they know that outside Marissa was eavesdropping and found out everything.

Marissa:

Well, well, well. This is just perfect!

Yvonne makes her way into Rena’s dormitory without knocking. She wasn’t happy.

Rena:

Mom? You look like hell.

Yvonne:

Oh you could say that. After we had our talk about ghosts guess what happened?

Rena:

You did a séance?

Yvonne:

No! I was haunted by ghosts. They played nasty tricks on me but luckily my bible was close by to protect me.

Rena:

I don’t know what to tell you.

Yvonne:

I’ve called a reverend friend of mine and he’s going to be talking to you very soon. There are too many evil spirits running around you and we have to make you normal.

Rena:

Normal. How do you define normal?

Yvonne:

Someone who doesn’t claim to talk to spirits.

Rena:

Maybe I’m happy with my gift.

Yvonne slaps Rena across the face.

Yvonne:

Don’t you dare think for one second that what you do can make anyone proud. You’re a freak and I’m going to fix it.

Yvonne leaves Rena to tend to her swollen cheek. Rena ran to her bedroom to cry. Lenvy stood there in horror.

Lenvy:

(screaming)

WILL! WHERE ARE YOU? GET OUT HERE NOW!

Will shows himself to Lenvy. He was holding back the smile of someone who was caught. A smile he knew all too well.

Will:

What can I do for you?

Lenvy:

I can’t believe you haunted Rena’s mother.

Will:

I had to let her know that she was wrong. I want her to know who she’s dealing with.

Lenvy:

We’re not put here to spook people. We’re not bad spirits. At least I’m not.

Will:

What do you want me to do? Have you apologize to Rena so that she can relay the message back to her bitch of a mother?

Lenvy:

I don’t know Will but you figure it out. This doesn’t look good on your record. Do you want to go to hell or do you not want to be with me?

Before Will could answer Lenvy cut him off.

Lenvy:

This is not looking good for you at all! You’re going back into the person you tried so hard not to be.

Lenvy vanishes into thin air. When all she really did was go back into Rena’s room to watch her cry. Lenvy floats far enough away from Rena so that she couldn’t be heard.

Lenvy:

(talking to someone)

How can I let them be together? I can’t hide the fact that they can see each other.

In Owen’s hotel room, he sits on the balcony that overlooked the city skyline at night. He’s on the phone with Alexia who walks outside in the courtyard of the school.

Alexia:

I hope you’ve been thinking about what I said.

Owen:

Yeah mom’s dying. That’s kind of something hard to forget.

Alexia:

All I’m saying is that you might want to reconsider your stay at Point Palace and come back home with me.

Owen:

I have to figure some stuff out. Believe me, mom is definitely tops on my list.

There’s a knock on his door. Owen stands up to go to answer it.

Owen:

Look I’ll call you back sis. Here’s a suggestion, have fun in this town. You used to when we lived here. Bye.

He opens the door and is surprised when he sees Ginny (now cleaned up after the fight). She got a big warm smile on her face.

Owen:

Oh my god!

Ginny:

I have been through hell and back but this moment is so worth it.

Owen:

What are you talking about?

Ginny:

I’m just…happy to see you.

Ginny swoops in and gives Owen a big hug.

Blake lets London into what used to be her home. She is happy with how clean the place was.

London:

This place really brings back memories.

Blake:

It sure does.

London:

So I got something interested handed to me that I thought you should know about.

Blake:

Oh yeah?

London digs out her subpoena papers from her purse.

London:

I have to go to court to testify against Nan.

Blake snickers at her. He digs through his briefcase and pulls out the same document.

Blake:

As have I.

London:

Then I guess we’ll be running into each other again.

Blake:

Are you still living with John?

London:

Yes I am. Are you still sleeping with Alley?

Blake:

That’s a brazen question.

London:

Just think we should get this out in the open.

Blake:

Eh…we’re something else.

London:

If it means anything to you, John has only been hosting so I can be close to L.J. We really haven’t been exclusive or anything.

Blake:

I see.

They’re interrupted by a knock on the door.

Blake:

Let me answer that. It might be your baby’s daddy.

Blake answers it and sees Alexia.

Blake:

What the heck are you doing here?

Alexia:

I’m…

Blake:

Come in quick. I want to show you something.

Blake rushes her into his home and shows her London. Alexia almost fainted.

Alexia:

(shocked)

You- You’re- What?!

London:

Long story but yeah. I’m here.

Alexia:

I can’t believe it.

Blake:

Funny how we’re all reunited together.

Alexia:

You know my brother told me to have fun while I was visiting and I think I’ll do just that. The three of us need to catch up.

London:

I agree.

Juliana sits in her limo looking at the picture that Bryan gave her.

Juliana:

Yep this is the place.

Her right hand man Vincenzo was back to help her.

Juliana:

You’ve done this hundreds of time before. Just remember to be fast and non-existent.

Vincenzo:

Of course boss.

Vincenzo runs out of the limo and to someone’s door. He pours gasoline all over the door and lights a match. He lets the match go as a flame lights high. Vincenzo runs away back to the limo. Juliana watched from a far as her target’s home was burning in flames.
