Emotional decisions are made in Springfield...

Cedars:

Marah Lewis lays in a hospital bed.

Dr. Michelle Bauer is writing on her chart.

Marah opens her eyes.

She looks around, "What's going on?"

Michelle looks at her, "Marah? Marah honey, how are you? Do you know why you're here?"

Marah tries to sit up but she is in pain, "Ow."

Michelle nods, "We'll increase your meds. I'm going to go get your family and then we'll talk."

Marah stops her, "No wait. I remember at the wedding, everything happened, I was upstairs and... Michelle?"

Michelle sighs, "I'm going to get your family and I'll be right back."

Marah jumps up, "My Baby! Michelle why can't I feel my baby? What's going on with my baby? Tell me what's wrong with my baby!"

Michelle just shakes her head, "I'm so sorry."

Marah cries, "Oh my God! No! No, no, no..."

Michelle turns, "I'm getting your family."

An emotional Marah sobs in her bed.

She begins pulling her hair.

Josh and Reva run in.

Josh sighs, "Honey it's okay."

Reva cries, "Oh Baby I-"

Marah shouts, "No! Get away from me! Leave me alone, just leave me alone! Please!"

Marah throws things at them.

Josh and Reva have no idea what to do.

Marah screams and sobs in her bed.

Ravenwood:

Alan Michael is on his bed reading.

Ava is let into his room.

He smiles, "Well don't you look nice."

Ava shakes her head, "I'm done."

He sits up, "With?"

She sighs, "You. I'm done with our arrangement. I'm done with you and this whole situation."

He laughs, "What happened now?"

Ava sighs, "It's a long story but it's not the point. I'm finished, so you're going to need to find a new partner."

He smiles, "So are you still going to marry Shayne Lewis?"

Ava sighs, "That is none of your business."

He laughs, "I'll take that as a yes. Or until he finds out that you were only with him to steal information about his family and help me take down the Lewis business."

Ava shakes her head, "No one will ever believe you. You are locked up in here, and you're a Spaulding."

Alan Michael nods, "Yeah, you're probably right. But do you think you can live with it? When Shayne is praising you and bragging about you, do you think you'll be able to accept it? Face it, Shayne is your weak spot now. He brings out your vulnerability."

Ava looks away, "I'm not even going to get into this with you. Good luck ever getting out of here."

Alan Michael walks over and grabs her, "Don't you go acting all high and mighty. You are still the crazy little basket case you've always been, sooner or later Springfield will remember that."

Ava worries he is right.

David and Lucy's:

David is walking out of the bathroom.

He sees the bedroom door that was Davey's is open.

He walks in.

Lucy is sitting inside on the floor.

He sighs, "What are you doing?"

She wipes her tears, "I keep walking in here to check on him. This time I actually got worried for a minute. Then I remembered that they took him away from me."

David walks over and hugs her, "I know Lucy I know. I wish I could make your pain go away."

Lucy looks down, "Well you could have."

David sighs, "Lucy-"

She gets up, "I can't deal with this. I can't deal with this house. I can't live here anymore. I'd rather live at the Beacon right now than stay here any more."

David sighs, "It's our home."

She shakes her head, "We got the house because we wanted a good home for him. And now he's gone."

He sighs, "He's not the only reason."

She nods, "Face it! He was the reason we did everything, the reason got the house, the reason we got married."

He scoffs, "I married you because I loved you and I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you."

Lucy looks around, "I just think it's time we stopped kidding ourselves trying to live a life that is gone."

He is confused, "What do you mean?"

She cries, "I think we should get a divorce."

David stares in shock at his wife.

Gazebo:

Stephanie is sitting and reading.

She loves days like this.

Guillespie walks up, "Hello."

She looks at him, "Hi.... you look familiar. Have we met?"

He nods, "Yes we have."

She laughs, "Okay you wanna tell me where Mr. Australia?"

He takes her hand and kisses it, "You were a very lovely dance, I enjoyed it very much."

She grins, "It was you! Wow I guess you didn't talk because I would have remembered that accent."

He laughs, "I was kind of distracted, I was dancing with a beautiful woman you know."

She smiles, "Oh really? Well you're very charming."

He laughs, "So I've been told. Though I think you were using me to make that guy jealous."

She nods, "I'm sorry that was rude. I'm not always like that. She just brings it out in me. Susan is such a bitch. She's this ex con that Sam is dating. She was a big criminal for a while. Her and..."

Guillespie stares at her.

Her mouth drops, "Oh my God... You. Now I remember. I saw your face in the papers. You're the guy. You set Blake's house on fire. You kidnapped Marah Lewis. You murdered Tammy Winslow."

He nods, "I can explain."

She gets up, "Well I'm a cop. And you stay away from me."

She starts to walk away.

He stands up, "You haven't even asked what I can do for you."

Stephanie turns and stares at him.

Mallet's House:

Maureen is sitting on the couch.

She's drinking coffee and reading the paper.

She sings to herself, "When I reach for you baby you know..."

Mallet walks up behind her and kisses her, "You know you have such a beautiful voice."

She smiles, "Thank you. I love singing. I used to dream of being a big award winning singer back when I was younger."

He nods, "Oh yeah I wanted to be a superhero."

She laughs, "That's why we go so perfect together."

The two kiss.

Mallet sits with her, "So what are you reading?"

She sighs, "A lot of drama at the Masquerade Ball last night. Not sure if it's good or bad that we missed it."

He sighs, "I wish we could have."

She turns to him, "I know it's tough for you. I mean you're sister was killed there 3 years ago."

He nods, "Well I wish I could go out with you. You know where everyone can see us."

She sighs, "I know. But we agreed that for now it's just best that we stay low key."

He holds her hand, "But the longer we hide it the harder it will be to explain why. I don't want people thinking that we are ashamed."

Maureen looks at him, "Mallet we both know the reason that we are afraid to go public. And it starts with a big D."

Maureen gets up off the couch and leaves the room.

Springfield High:

Belinda walks into the restroom.

Clarissa is crying in there.

She walks to her, "Hey I got your text. What is going on?"

Clarissa cries, "Micky ran away from home! His parents have heard from him. They said he took most of his stuff. And they think he is staying with his cousin."

Belinda sighs, "Micky is a bastard."

Clarissa cries, "I never would have given my virginity up for a guy who did this to me."

Belinda hugs her, "I'm sorry sweetheart."

Clarissa shakes her head, "This isn't right. I'm not the kind of girl this happens to. I'm not the girl that gets pregnant by some loser who leaves her like this. I'm not supposed to be a teen mom. I cannot handle any of this. I don't know what to do."

Belinda takes her hand, "I will help you with whatever you have to do."

Clarissa cries, "I just don't want everyone to know. People are going to be talking about me. That's what they always do. With every girl they call her a slut. They make fun of her, call her trashy. The teachers treat her like crap. I can't do this."

Belinda helps her wash her face.

Belinda sighs, "Well I got my stuff so we can just skip. We'll go for a drive or something okay?"

The two girls walk out of the restroom.

RJ sees them, "What's going on?"

The two girls stop and look at him.

PART TWO:

David and Lucy's:

Lucy walks downstairs.

David follows her, "You can't be serious? How could you ever say that to me Lucy?"

She sighs, "David we both knew this was coming. This has been building up for a long time now."

He shakes his head, "No. You are upset, you can't be making decisions right now."

She scoffs, "Yeah I'll just let you make them, then you can ship me off to Ravenwood for good."

He sighs, "I would never do that! I'm trying to help you but all you want to do is push me away."

She shouts, "You took my Baby! You let them take him away from me! What kind of father are you?"

David shakes his head, "We weren't his parents. I know we loved him and we wanted to be but Marina is his mother."

She shoves him, "No!"

He stares at her, "Lucy stop it!"

She shakes her head, "Ever since you gave him away I have been living in a personal hell. Every morning I wake up and get excited to see him and then I remember he's gone and I wish that I had never woken up at all. I just can't do this anymore."

She starts to walk away.

He stops her, "Lucy I love you."

She shakes her head, "I... I loved you."

Lucy runs out of the house leaving David upset.

Mallet's House:

Maureen's standing in the kitchen.

Mallet walks up, "Maureen, we should talk."

She sighs, "We just did."

He looks at her, "Are you really worried about Dinah?"

She turns to him, "She's my sister. She's your ex wife. The mother of your children."

He sighs, "We didn't plan on falling in love. It just happened. Dinah... Dinah will have to deal."

Maureen shakes her head, "I love my sister. But I know that she has a jealous streak. And I've heard the stories..."

Mallet sighs, "Dinah has come a long way since then."

She sighs, "Her jealousy drove her to murder someone."

He shakes his head, "Dinah has changed. You know that, I know that. She's not like that any more."

Maureen looks at him, "She still has a temper. And she is vengeful. She is Dinah."

Mallet takes her hand, "Sooner or later we have to face her. And we need to make sure she hears it from us and not someone else."

Maureen hugs Mallet.

They both know they have to tell Dinah eventually.

Mallet hasn't told Maureen about his close moment with Dinah on Valentines Day.

Gazebo:

Guillespie stares at Stephanie.

Stephanie walks towards him, "What could you possibly do for me?"

He smiles, "You know who my ex girlfriend is."

She scoffs, "Susan Lemay. She's basically my rival right now. I'm not in the mood to hear stories about her."

He nods, "I loved her. She was my first love. I really miss her. I think about her all the time."

She shakes her head, "Why do I care?"

He nods, "That guy she was dancing with. Her boyfriend?"

Stephanie nods, "For now. Sam Spencer. Sam and I were together, but he left me for her. We fought over him for a while and she won. But it's far from over. It won't be over until I have Sam back."

He smiles, "And I can help you."

She scoffs, "Yeah I'm sure if a crazy murderer tells Sam to choose me over Susan, then of course he'll do it."

He grins, "You want Sam. I want Susan. Simple as that. All we have to do is work together."

Stephanie is a bit intrigued, "You really think you are up for the challenge? Because I've been working on this for a while."

He laughs, "I know Susan better than anyone. If we work together, it'll be easy to get those two apart."

She shakes her head, "I'm a cop. Do you know how obvious it will be when people see us hanging out?"

He nods, "We can keep secrets."

She backs away, "I'm not liking the sound of this. Susan brings out the worst in me and for some reason I'm thinking I shouldn't trust myself with you."

He smiles, "Don't worry. I don't bite."

Stephanie stares at him.

Springfield High:

Clarissa and Belinda walk to the doors.

RJ follows them, "Where are you guys going?"

Belinda turns to him, "Could you mind your own business? Or is that just impossible for you to do?"

He scoffs, "Clarissa is my cousin and I'm starting to worry. Now what is going on?"

Clarissa looks at him, "You can't tell anyone."

He nods, "You can trust me."

She sighs, "I'm pregnant."

His mouth drops, "Are you serious?"

She nods, "I don't know what I'm going to do."

RJ sighs, "Is this with Micky?"

She nods, "The only guy I've ever been with."

Belinda scoffs, "Guys are bastards."

RJ looks at her, "Not all of them."

Belinda rolls her eyes.

Clarissa sighs, "Micky ran away. He doesn't want anything to do with me or the baby."

RJ scoffs, "I'm going to kill him."

She shakes her head, "No. I don't care anymore. I just don't want to see him again. I don't want to be with someone who doesn't want me. I just wish I had never met him."

Belinda looks around, "I think the bell is about to ring, we need to go now before everyone gets out of class."

Clarissa looks at RJ, "We're going for a drive. Listen, I'll talk to you later. Just promise you won't tell anyone especially your Mom."

RJ nods, "Of course."

Clarissa hugs her cousin, "Thank you."

Belinda and Clarissa sneak out to the parking lot.

RJ heads back to class.

Ravenwood:

Ava pushes Alan Michael away.

He smiles, "Truth hurts doesn't it?"

Ava scoffs, "You sound just like Marah."

He is confused, "Marah?"

She looks at him, "Marah fell down a flight of stairs or threw herself I don't know. She tried to fight me. She was pregnant and now she has lost the baby and I don't know what's going on."

He shakes his head, "Wow. So you pushed her?"

She shouts, "No! I didn't push her. She flipped out."

He walks towards her, "Just like you did when you flipped out on her years ago at the Beacon. You attacked her and then you claimed she threw you down the elevator shaft."

Ava shakes her head, "Shut up."

Alan Michael grins, "You've always hated Marah. Now she's probably getting in the way of you marrying Shayne isn't she?"

Ava scoffs, "Nothing is getting in the way of Shayne and I getting married. Nothing will."

He nods, "That's why you're doing this. You are afraid people will start questioning you now. People are going to start looking at you the way that they used to."

Ava sighs, "I'm not that woman anymore."

He laughs, "Keep telling yourself that Ava. Maybe soon you'll be able to convince yourself."

Ava walks out.

Cedars:

Josh is in the waiting room with Reva.

Michelle walks over, "Hey."

They stand up.

Josh sighs, "How is she?"

Michelle sighs, "She's still emotional but she has calmed down and she is asking to see you."

Reva wipes her tears, "I can't believe this is happening. My poor little girl in there."

Michelle nods, "I'm so sorry. Marah's always been a good friend to me. I've got some doctors who can help her deal with what happened. It just might take some time for her to get ready for that step."

Josh nods, "Thank you Michelle."

Michelle walks them into the room.

Marah is crying in her bed.

Reva hugs her, "Oh Baby."

Marah cries, "My baby is dead, they keep telling me that my baby is dead. My baby is dead."

Josh hugs her, "I'm sorry sweetheart. I'm so sorry that this happened to you."

Reva nods, "I know what you are going through. I've been there before."

Michelle nods, "So have I."

Reva looks at her, "Exactly. Marah you can't blame yourself."

Marah shakes her head, "I don't. I don't blame myself at all. I loved my baby. It was her. She did it to me."

Reva shakes her head, "Oh honey, you can't possibly try to blame Cassie for what happened to you."

Marah shakes her head, "Not Cassie. Ava. Ava pushed me down the stairs. Ava killed my baby. And she needs to pay."

Everyone stares in shock.
