Drama unfolds tonight in Springfield...

Towers:

Inside Clarissa's suite.

Clarissa walks back in with Baby Adam.

Rafe is sitting on the couch.

She looks at him, "Are you okay?"

He sighs, "I don't know."

She sighs, "I'm really sorry Rafe."

He nods, "Me too."

She stares, "Why are you sorry?"

There is a knock at the door.

He looks at Clarissa, "You should get that."

Clarissa walks over to the door with Adam.

She opens it.

Blake and Ross are standing outside.

Clarissa stares, "What are you doing here?"

Blake sighs, "Is it true? What Rafe said."

Clarissa looks at Rafe, "What the hell?"

Rafe nods, "They deserve to know."

She shakes her head, "No! It's none of their damn business. You had no right to tell my parents what my decision was going to be."

Ross nods, "Clarissa, Rafe was doing the right thing."

Clarissa turns away.

Rafe stands, "I'll leave you all alone."

Ross nods, "Thank you Rafe."

Rafe steps outside and shuts the door behind him.

Ross looks at Clarissa, "Is it true?"

Clarissa looks at them, "Yes. Congratulations."

Blake shakes her head, "Congratulations?"

Clarissa nods, "Now you get to tell me all the mistakes I made. You get to say that you were right and I was wrong. Clarissa screwed up again!"

Blake sighs, "I would never say that."

Clarissa shouts, "And guess what Mom! I've failed my first semester of college too! I couldn't handle either responsibility! I'm worthless!"

Ross walks over, "You are not worthless."

Blake sighs, "Please let us help you."

Clarissa shakes her head, "Don't you get it? I don't want your help!"

Ross nods, "Why not?"

Clarissa sighs, "I don't want my child to turn out like I did! I want Adam to be happy! I want him to get away from this whole damn family!"

Ross and Blake stare at their daughter.

Museum Apartment:

Kevin and Coop are pushing each other.

Rocky and Eden try to pull them a part.

Eden shouts, "Enough!"

Rocky pulls Kevin back, "Stop it!"

Maureen, Jason and Vi walk over.

Jason looks at him, "Kevin chill."

Kevin shouts, "Damn it! I am so sick of everyone treating me like I'm an ass! It's screwed up."

Coop nods, "Maybe you should stop acting like an ass."

Kevin jumps at him.

But Jason and Vi pull him back.

Rocky stands in between them.

Kevin looks at him, "Rocky please! I just wanted to talk to you! Why do you have to make everything so much more complicated for us?"

Rocky sighs, "You think I'm doing this?"

Eden looks at Kevin, "Why don't you take yourself outside Kevin. Nobody wants to hear any of this."

Kevin scoffs, "Coming from the former call girl?"

Coop looks at him, "You shut your mouth?"

Kevin laughs, "Oh my God! You are all so far up your own asses!"

Rocky sighs, "Kevin you need to calm down!"

Kevin shouts, "I was calm! I was calm until your brother started getting in my face! Why can't people just leave me alone?"

Coop looks at him, "You need to chill!"

Kevin screams, "Stop telling me to chill! Stop telling me to calm down! Shut the hell up!"

Kevin punches a hole into the wall.

Maureen gasps and covers her mouth.

Vi and Jason walk over.

Jason pulls Kevin back.

Vi stares, "Oh my God."

Kevin's hand is bleeding.

Rocky stares in shock.

All of the roommates look at each other.

Towers:

Annie stands with Ava and Shayne.

Marah is next to them, "Annie. Hello. I need to talk to you for a minute."

Annie grins, "I'm right here."

Marah nods, "Alone."

Marah walks over to the door leading to the balcony.

Annie looks at Marah and Shayne, "I'll be right back."

Annie and Marah step away.

Ava looks at Shayne, "What do you think that was about?"

Shayne shakes his head, "I don't know. But it doesn't concern us so I'm not going to focus on it. I'm more focused on you right now."

The two kiss.

Outside on the balcony.

Marah and Annie are standing across from each other.

Marah looks over the edge, "Long way down huh?"

Annie nods, "You planning on jumping?"

Marah turns, "Why would I?"

Annie sighs, "You're still in denial. That's adorable. I love you Marah. But I think it's time you open your eyes to your situation you've gotten yourself in."

Marah nods, "I know you got the tapes from the office. You have all the evidence against me. You're very clever Annie. You have me right where you want me."

Annie sips her drink, "Indeed."

Marah stares, "You know drinking seemed cool when I was younger. But as I grew up I noticed how foolish it makes people. Though a drink does sound good right about now."

Marah takes Annie's glass.

She takes a drink out of it.

Annie stares, "Classy."

Marah grins, "Well I've learned from the best."

Annie looks at her, "Obviously not."

Marah stares, "What does that mean?"

She grins, "You forgot my biggest lesson of all. Get them before they get you."

Marah stares.

Annie nods, "While you were digging around trying to follow my trail I was always two steps ahead. I've already laid down the ground work of alibis and innocence. I have nothing to worry about once I leak information to the police."

Marah shakes her head, "You wouldn't do something that cold."

Annie smirks, "You'd be surprised."

Marah stares at a smiling Annie.

Outskirts:

Roxie sits behind the bar.

Johnny comes in, "Hey!"

She looks at him, "Hey. How are you?"

He nods, "Good. How about yourself?"

She sighs, "Well I'm not doing to bad. I had lunch with Ashlee the other day. I am doing fine here at the bar. But other than that not much else going on."

He laughs, "Sounds boring."

She laughs, "It is. But nothing wrong with boring. That's considered an accomplishment in this town."

He nods, "Agreed."

She looks at him, "Anything new with you?"

He nods, "Actually yes. I was going to tell Ashlee first but I thought I'd practice on you to see your reaction."

She stares, "Let me guess, you got a new girlfriend?"

He shakes his head, "No. Actually I'm moving."

She stares, "You're moving?"

He nods, "Yes. To Kenya."

She stares, "Okay I'm not that informed on conditions going on there. But I don't think it would be that much fun for you. But to each their own."

He sighs, "I'm not going their for fun. I miss my work. I love working here at Cedars but it's not my passion. I want to go somewhere that I could really help people."

She stares, "You're serious aren't you?"

He nods, "Yeah I am?"

She shakes her head, "Well it sounds kind of selfish if you ask me."

He scoffs, "I have to say you are the first person to ever tell me that about my job."

She stares, "I'm the only one that's the mother of your child. We just got Ashlee back into our lives and now you're going to up and leave her?"

He shakes his head, "It has been most of this year and Ashlee is not a child."

Roxie sighs, "Whatever. Do what you want."

He stares, "So are you mad that I'm leaving Ashlee. Or that I'm leaving you?"

Roxie stares at him.

Towers:

Clarissa is holding Baby Adam.

She can't get him to stop crying.

Blake walks over, "Let me help."

Clarissa cries, "Leave me alone."

Blake sighs, "Honey. I know we messed up a lot. And when your Dad left I should have become an even better mother for you. But I didn't. I let you go down a dangerous path and I am so sorry."

Clarissa shakes her head, "I don't care."

Blake nods, "My Mom always beat herself up for not being a good Mom and I let her sometimes. I never imagined I would be doing it years later."

Clarissa nods, "So?"

Blake looks at her, "So I understand what you're feeling Clarissa! You feel like you let your son down! Like you let yourself down. But don't you ever worry about letting us down."

Clarissa looks down at her son.

Ross walks over, "Clarissa."

She looks at him.

He sighs, "I'm so sorry. When I had to leave it was the toughest thing I have ever had to do. Especially with you. You were so young. But the thought of you being in danger scared me to death. All I wanted was to hug you one last time, I didn't want you to feel abandoned the way your sister did."

Clarissa sighs, "Well that's how I felt. And that's why I got myself into this situation. I didn't want the guys in my life to leave me. And now the most important one is going to suffer."

Blake looks at her, "That's what your father and I are trying to help you with."

Clarissa shakes her head.

Ross nods, "Clarissa, you don't have to give your son up for adoption. You can move back in with one of us. You can let us help you through this."

Blake sighs, "But if you want to do this. If you really want to make this choice, then we will respect that. Whatever you decide we are going to support you."

Clarissa stares, "Really?"

Ross nods, "Of course. We're your parents. But you're a grown up now, and he is your son. You need to decide if you are ready to be a mother."

Clarissa looks at her parents then looks down at her baby boy.

CO2:

Belinda sits with RJ.

RJ looks at her, "Sounds like you had a long night."

She nods, "Yes. Because my parents are disgusting hypocrites."

Her phone continues ringing.

He looks at her, "Is that you're parents?"

She looks at her phone, "Yep."

Belinda throws her phone against the wall.

He sighs, "Tense?"

She scoffs, "I need a cigarette really bad right now."

He sighs, "Babe you quit, don't fall back into it."

She nods, "I know. I know. First Leah, then Marti, now my parents. Everyone is just ready to jump on me and criticize me at every turn."

He stares, "Marti?"

Belinda nods, "I know you are her friend or whatever, but she is one of the most annoying bitches I have ever met in my whole life."

RJ sighs, "That's what you said about Leah."

Belinda nods, "But I mean it with Marti. She tried to get in my face at school the other day. Now you know why I didn't accept her friend request."

RJ looks at her, "So is this another enemy that I have to worry about?"

Belinda sighs, "Marti practically called me a slut. I get that I have a bit of a history, but who the hell is she to talk?"

RJ looks down.

She sighs, "Does it still bother you?"

He looks at her, "What?"

She sighs, "I know we never talk about it. But we both know I slept with... more guys before I met you."

He sighs, "It's in the past. That's why we don't talk about the people from our past."

She nods, "Well you've only been with like one girl right?"

He shakes his head, "No two. But I don't think we are going to discuss numbers. Because I'm still not comfortable hearing yours."

She sighs, "Okay well maybe we should talk about it. Because I feel like there is something you aren't telling me."

RJ looks down, "Okay. When my Mom was married to Josh, we used to go down to Oklahoma all the time to see Trish and Marti. Marti and I were friends, and pen pals growing up."

Belinda nods, "Sounds lame."

He nods, "Then when I was older I went back down there for a summer. I spent a lot of time with Marti. And we got really close..."

Belinda shakes her head, "No."

RJ stares at her.

Belinda scoffs, "Are you trying to tell me that you lost your virginity to Marti Lewis?"

A furious Belinda stares at RJ.

PART TWO:

Towers:

Clarissa sits on the couch with Adam.

Blake sits with her, "Do you need more time to think about it?"

Clarissa shakes her head, "No. I've thought about this a lot. I know you're not going to like to hear this but I really believe in my heart that this is right."

Blake looks down.

Ross nods, "Okay."

Clarissa looks at them, "We are planning an open adoption. I would still get to spend time with him. So would you guys. And they live in Springfield. I don't know if Rafe told you... but it's Dylan and Bridget."

Blake stares, "Oh. You've already planned everything?"

Clarissa nods, "Maybe I should have told you."

Ross nods, "We would have appreciate that."

Clarissa sighs, "I don't know. I just don't want people thinking that I'm tossing him away or something. Because I do love my son. I do."

Blake puts her arm around her, "I know Baby."

Clarissa cries, "I just can't be a Mom right now."

Ross looks at her, "It's very strong for you to say that. It takes maturity."

Clarissa sighs, "I just don't want him to hate me."

Blake looks at her, "Being a Mom is hard. But I know that feeling."

Clarissa sighs, "I don't hate you."

Blake kisses her on the head.

Clarissa sighs, "I don't know if Rafe will still let me live here once I give up Adam."

Blake looks at her, "Would you want to move back into the house with me? Or you could move in with your Dad. Either decision is fine."

Clarissa nods, "I want to move back into my old room at the house."

Blake smiles, "Sounds good to me."

Clarissa sighs, "I want to try school again next semester."

Ross grins, "That's great."

Adam starts crying again.

Clarissa holds him close.

Outskirts:

Roxie is still behind the bar.

Johnny stares at her, "Well?"

She scoffs, "You're ridiculous."

He shakes his head, "But am I wrong?"

She sighs, "I told you that I didn't want a relationship with you anymore. Remember that?"

He nods, "But that doesn't mean that you can't still enjoy my company. I can be a pretty fun guy sometimes if you do recall?"

She sighs, "I do."

He looks at her, "It's okay if you miss me."

She laughs, "Don't flatter yourself."

He looks at her, "Do you think Ashlee will be upset?"

Roxie sighs, "I think she'll miss you. But Ashlee is pretty relaxed. And now she has that relationship with that loser Dalton to keep her busy."

Johnny sighs, "Maybe we were wrong about Dalton? He seems to be turning his life around."

Roxie laughs, "No. I know a bad guy when I see one. That guy is trouble."

He nods, "But?"

She nods, "But Ashlee needs to learn from her own mistakes. Maybe it's time that I let her experience things and stop trying to get involved."

He smiles, "Good to hear you say that."

Roxie nods, "I figure Doris has been doing that her whole life. I might as well try and jump in as the cool Mom while there's still time."

Johnny laughs, "Well if it makes you feel better, I think you're pretty cool."

Roxie smiles, "Thanks."

Johnny nods, "No problem."

She looks at him, "So how long will you be gone?"

He sighs, "Hmm at least a few months."

She grins, "Well maybe you could visit soon."

He nods, "Think anyone besides Ashlee and my family will be excited to see me?"

She nods, "We'll see."

The two smile at each other.

CO2:

Belinda stares at RJ.

RJ sighs, "I think you're over reacting."

Belinda scoffs, "Are you serious? You are the one who was keeping this secret from me."

He shakes his head, "It's not a secret. You didn't even know Marti until two months ago. And you haven't told me all the guys you've been with."

She nods, "Well maybe I should. I'm going write them all out on a list."

He shakes his head, "Fine."

She stares, "I cannot believe you had sex with Marti Lewis."

He sighs, "We were young."

Belinda turns away, "But she didn't tell me. She didn't throw it in my face during our argument. It would have been perfect and knocked the wind out of me."

RJ sighs, "Maybe she's not as bad as you think?"

Belinda scoffs, "Oh please. I know what she's up to. She was saving it for later. That bitch."

RJ stares, "Okay, I'm not trying to create more drama."

Belinda looks at him, "Too late."

RJ shakes his head, "So what are you going to do? Find a way to ruin her life too? You regretted what you did to Leah. Have you learned anything from that?"

Belinda sighs, "This is different."

RJ sighs, "Really? Because from where I'm sitting it looks exactly the same."

RJ gets up.

She looks at him, "Where are you going?"

He puts money down for her, "This for our drinks. I'm going back. I have studying for finals. I don't need this right now. I'll call you later."

RJ walks away.

Belinda sits by herself.

She takes a deep breath, "He's right. This is not going to be like Leah again. I'm getting rid of Marti before it gets that far."

Towers:

Ross and Blake are getting their coats back on.

Clarissa looks at them, "I'll call you both tomorrow."

Ross nods, "Okay sweetheart."

Blake smiles at Baby Adam, "Oh I love you little guy. I'm so happy I got to see you today."

Ross kisses him on the head, "You'll always be my Grandson little guy."

Blake hugs Clarissa.

Ross kisses her on the cheek.

Clarissa looks at them, "Bye."

Ross and Blake walk out.

Rafe walks inside past them.

Clarissa looks at him, "Hey."

He nods, "Hey. They looked happy."

She sighs, "I'm moving back in with my Mom and working on my relationship with my family again."

He nods, "What about Adam?"

Clarissa nods, "I'm still set on my decision."

Rafe shakes his head.

She walks towards him, "I'm sorry."

He sighs, "Yeah I know."

She looks at him, "I know you have mixed feelings."

He looks at her, "I feel like you're making a mistake. And I feel like you're going to regret it. one day."

She nods, "Well you are entitled to your opinion. But I know I'm not making a mistake."

Rafe looks at her.

She sighs, "Would you like to hold him?"

Rafe shakes his head, "No. I can't do that right now."

She sighs, "Okay."

Clarissa takes Adam into his room.

Rafe walks over to the bag he brought with him.

He pulls a tiny stuffed bear out of it that he had bought for Adam.

He slowly puts it back in the bag.

Rafe throws the bag into the trash.

Rafe walks out.

Museum Apartment:

Jason takes Kevin's hand.

Jason looks at it, "Okay. We are going to need to get some ice on that right now."

Vi nods, "I'll be right back."

Vi runs to the kitchen.

Coop looks over, "Oh my God! Look what he did."

Rocky sighs, "I'm am so sorry guys."

Eden shakes her head, "No don't apologize for him. Kevin is a grown man and he made the decision to act like a total douche tonight."

Jason looks over, "Would you shut up Eden?"

Coop looks at him, "Don't talk to her like that. You're brother is the crazy one over there. He just punched a whole in our wall."

Jason sighs, "I know. We'll take care of it."

Rocky starts to walk towards Kevin.

Coop holds him back, "Just stay away from him."

Kevin pulls away from Jason.

Jason follows him, "We need to check out your fist."

A very emotional Kevin is pacing back and forth.

Maureen is crying from all the violence.

Vi comes walking in with the ice.

Jason and Vi put it on Kevin's hand.

Vi looks at him, "I know how you feel Kevin. Some people just keep pushing you. It's bull."

On the other side of the room Rocky is sitting on the couch with his head in his hands.

Eden and Coop are sitting by him.

Maureen stands in the center.

She sees Vi and Jason with Kevin on one side.

Then Eden and Coop with Rocky on the other.

It's clear sides are being drawn for the roommates.

Towers:

Josh stands with Reva and Noah at the party.

Josh looks around, "I thought Marah was here now?"

Reva nods, "Me too."

Noah looks around, "She might have stepped out or something."

Josh looks around, "Has anyone seen Annie?"

All three of them look over as the elevators doors open.

They are surprised by who they see.

Out on the balcony Marah and Annie stare at each other.

Marah stares at Annie, "You really would screw me over wouldn't you? After everything we have been through together? After everything you promised."

Annie sighs, "You crossed me Marah. I created you, and I need to remind you how easily I can break you. You couldn't even remember my most simple lesson."

Marah nods, "Get them before they get you."

Annie nods.

Marah looks at her, "Actually I did remember that."

Annie scoffs, "What?"

Marah smiles, "You know you should have vacated your room at the Beacon a lot sooner. In case you forgot I can go through room anytime I want to. I can find a lot of things, keys to storage lockers, phone numbers, video tapes."

Annie stares, "You think you have it all figured out? You're ratting yourself out before you even do anything. That's pretty confident."

Marah laughs, "You'd be surprised."

The door open.

Harley and Gus walk out.

Harley nods, "Annie Dutton, you're under arrest for the kidnapping of Ava Lewis."

Gus walks over and handcuffs her as her rights are being read.

Annie stares at Marah, "You can't be serious."

Marah shakes her head, "Oh Annie."

Annie stares, "You really think you can take me down Marah? Good luck."

Marah grins, "I don't need luck. There's a new top bitch in Springfield and her name is Marah Lewis."

Harley and Gus walk Annie out in handcuffs.

She is walked across the room.

She watches Shayne and Ava stare at her in horror.

Reva looks at her with disgust.

Josh stares with disappointment.

Annie keeps her head up high, dealing with the looks she has spent years trying to get past.

They step into the elevator.

Annie looks across the room.

Just as the door close she sees Marah standing directly across from her holding her drink with a big grin on her face.
