New Years Eve is celebrated in Springfield...

Beacon:

Lewis Enterprises is hosting their company New Years Eve party.

Josh stands with Billy and Vanessa.

He nods, "Tonight I will be announcing that I'm handing over the CEO spot. I will also finally be announcing my illness officially. So I'm incredibly nervous."

Billy looks at him, "We are going to be with you every step of the way."

Vanessa nods, "These people have been working with us since the beginning of Lewis Enterprises. They are going to be supportive of you."

Josh looks around, "I hope so. I probably should have informed everyone sooner. But it's not something I enjoy saying out loud you know?"

Billy pats his brother on the back.

Across the room.

Reva is with Noah.

She is staring at Josh.

Noah holds her, "You okay?"

She sighs, "He looks so tired."

Noah nods, "I'm sure he is. I suggested he go to bed before midnight. However, at this rate I don't see him doing that willingly."

Reva shakes her head, "I thought Josh would be the one to follow doctors orders. He's acting like me."

Noah laughs, "I guess your behavior is contagious."

She turns to Noah, "I'm really scared."

Noah holds her close.

On the other side, Ava and Shayne are together.

He rubs her stomach, "How you feeling?"

She smiles, "Incredible actually. It's amazing. I have had a rough year and it is actually ending on a high note. I'm engaged to a beautiful man. I'm pregnant. My son is back in my life. I'm finally getting the family that I always wanted. I feel like the luckiest woman in the world."

He grins, "Well you're marrying the luckiest man so it sounds like a match made in heaven."

Ava laughs, "Everything is falling perfectly into place. If this were a movie then we'd be at the part where the you know what started to hit the fan."

All eyes turn to the door entrance.

Edmund and Marah step in together.

The Lewis family stares in shock.

Marah flashes a large engagement ring.

Police Station:

Annie sits in her cell.

She looks down at the floor.

She remembers that the new year is beginning soon.

Dinah walks over.

Annie looks at her, "Well well well. My best friend has come to visit me and see how I'm doing? On New Years eve none the less. Too bad I've been locked up all month."

Dinah stares, "Hey. I'm sorry I haven't come sooner."

Annie sighs, "Listen Dinah I don't have the energy to pretend like I actually believe you came here as a friend to support me in my time of need."

Dinah nods, "I have been a bad friend and I'm sorry."

Annie shakes her head, "What do you want Dinah?"

Dinah looks at her, "I'm having some family issues right now. Mallet and I are going through a lot with Belinda. She's acting out a lot."

Annie stares, "You came here for parental advice from someone who has no children?"

Dinah shakes her head, "No. I came here to talk to you about Cyrus Foley."

Annie nods, "Cyrus Foley? That Australian loser you used to date? Or I guess I should say, Belinda's biological father. What about him?"

Dinah looks at her, "That's what I'm wanting to talk about. Belinda still doesn't know who her biological father is and I'd like to keep it that way."

Annie stares, "What does this have to do with me?"

Dinah sighs, "You know what."

Annie looks at her, "Belinda might be asking around huh? So you want to make sure that I don't spill the beans on your dirty little secret?"

Dinah nods, "Can I trust you'll keep your mouth shut? As I have for you numerous times."

Annie nods, "Sure."

Dinah stares, "'Sure'? Easy as that?"

Annie smirks, "Sure. Once you do something for me."

Dinah stares at her.

He approaches her, "Hi."

Clarissa smiles, "Hey."

He looks at her, "You look beautiful."

She grins, "Thank you."

He sighs, "I was wondering if you weren't going to show up."

She nods, "I know. I'm sorry it just took me a while to pick something out. I wanted to look as close to perfect as I could for you."

He laughs, "Well you surpassed perfect."

The two walk into the party.

She looks around, "Everything looks so nice."

He nods, "Yeah. My family went all out.

She sighs, "Do you have a New Years resolution?"

He grins, "Maybe. I have a few actually."

She nods, "Me too. I'm working towards finding a career. Moving out on my own. And some other stuff."

He looks at her, "I'm getting more involved in my family's company of course. But I also want one more thing."

She smiles, "What's that?"

He takes her hand, "I want you Clarissa. I miss you."

She smiles, "I've missed you too."

Rafe kisses her.

She stares at him.

He sighs, "What are you thinking?"

He nods, "Of course."

Rocky sits by himself nearby.

On the other side of the room.

Jason is standing with Maureen.

She looks at him, "Okay I know we graduated years ago. But it's still weird seeing some of our former teachers drinking and partying."

He laughs, "Yeah one of the benefits of having a teacher roommate."

The two continue laughing.

Vi walks over, "Hi Baby."

She kisses Jason.

Maureen turns away.

Vi smiles, "Jason would you get me a drink?"

He nods, "Sure Babe."

He walks away.

Vi looks at Maureen, "You are just about as pathetic as they come."

Maureen shakes her head, "I'm not doing anything if that's what you're worried about."

Vi nods, "Oh you know exactly what you're doing. We both do. Jason is mine, you need to accept that and move on. Nice girls finish last this time."

Maureen looks at her, "Maybe I'm tired of being so nice."

The two stare each other down.

Suddenly the attention turns to the front door.

Kevin walks in.

Caliente:

There is a long line outside of the club tonight.

Only VIP and the sexiest of people are getting in so far.

Teenagers Robbie and Jude are standing in line.

Robbie sighs, "This is stupid."

Jude shakes his head, "It's not stupid."

Robbie looks at him, "We are wasting our entire night waiting in a line when we could easily be going to a house party tonight like everyone else."

Jude scoffs, "With high school girls? No I'm over them."

Robbie shakes his head, "Dude how do you know these fake ID's are even going to work?"

Jude nods, "They better. We paid big bucks for them."

Robbie and Jude stare at the ID's.

People in the line chuckle as they look at them.

Robbie sighs, "We aren't fooling anyone."

Jude scoffs, "Would you relax. We are getting in tonight. I can feel it."

Spencer walks past the crowd to the front of the line.

Jude stares, "Who is that?"

Vicky stands with David.

She looks at him, "What's the matter?"

He shakes his head, "Oh nothing. Just a long day. I'm a little tired."

She stares, "You know it's New Years right?"

He laughs, "I know. I know. I just usually hang out with friends and have fun."

Vicky looks around, "This is fun."

He laughs, "Not really."

She sighs, "Do you want to go home?"

He shakes his head, "No. I want to be with you at midnight."

She smiles, "I'm glad to hear that. I'll be right back."

Vicky walks off to go mingle.

David walks over to the bar.

He takes a seat.

Amanda walks over to him, "Fun night?"

He laughs, "Oh the best."

David smiles at her.

Across the room.

Liz is walking around with the camera following her.

Colin approaches her, "Liz?"

She looks at him, "Oh. Hey! Before we can talk you need to get a mic. Just go over to that producer over there and he'll have you sign some stuff."

Colin shakes his head, "Liz come on it's me."

She stares, "I know. But we can't use a lot of the footage if you don't sign the stuff."

Colin takes her hand, "Liz."

The two stare at each other.

PART TWO:

Police Station:

Dinah stands outside of Annie's cell.

Dinah looks at Annie, "What are you getting at?"

Annie grins, "What do you think?"

Dinah shakes her head, "I honestly have no idea what I could possibly do for you right now Annie. So why don't you just tell me and get it over with?"

Annie smirks, "You go get your little husband and have him help get me out of here."

Dinah scoffs, "What the hell are you talking about? Even if Mallet let you out they cops would track you down and all of us would be in worse trouble."

Annie shakes her head, "I mean get me out for good."

Dinah stares, "You lost me."

Annie nods, "He can destroy the evidence against me. Or help clear my name somehow. Light a fire under him, make him go by any means necessary."

Dinah shakes her head, "What? No. Are you kidding me?"

Annie stares at her, "I helped you with Mallet when we were friends. I helped with his career. And I'm keeping the secret about Belinda's biological father. You owe me."

Dinah stares, "I will do whatever I can. But I am not going to sacrifice my family for you."

Annie laughs, "My God you've gotten even more pathetic Dinah. You're no better than me and you know it. We always think our dreams have come true. But we both know it's only a matter of time before the rug is pulled out from under us. Your perfect life is temporary."

Dinah scoffs, "Not this time."

Annie smirks, "We'll see."

Dinah turns away, "Go to hell Annie."

Annie stares, "Hmm. Maybe I'll have to get in contact with Belinda myself. Make sure she knows all of her mother's dirty little secrets."

Dinah looks at her, "You pathetic piece of trash. You stay the hell away from my children or you will be sorry. Do you understand me?"

Annie nods, "Crystal clear."

Dinah walks out of the station.

Dalton shakes his head, "You kids are lucky I'm running the place now."

Robbie nods, "Of course man. Thanks again."

Dalton pats them on the backs, "Stay out of trouble. And if I see you at the bar you're out."

Dalton walks away.

Jude puts his arm around Robbie, "What did I tell you?"

She nods, "I do. But I miss seeing you all the time."

He grins, "I miss seeing you too."

She kisses him passionately.

He stares at her, "I honestly don't want anything as much as I've wanted you this whole time."

He shakes his head, "Nah. Just in a good mood."

She laughs, "Whoa? David Grant in a good mood at a Spaulding function? Did I hear right?"

David smiles, "You're crazy."

She smiles, "You have no idea."

Vicky walks over, "I second that motion. How are you two?"

David stands, "Great now that you're here."

She puts her arm around him, "Glad to hear it. How are you Amanda?"

Amanda nods, "Just fantastic."

Amanda walks away.

Across the room.

Colin pulls Liz away.

She looks at him, "You're going to get me into trouble."

Colin sighs, "You're getting yourself into trouble and I'm really worried about you. I care about you Liz. I... I still love you."

She shakes her head, "What?"

He sighs, "I never stopped."

She shakes her head, "You have been gone for years. I have another child now. I had my love with Remy."

Colin nods, "I know. But our romance was special. I know we crossed doctor patient lines. But Liz I fell head over heals for you. I was the first person to start calling you Liz."

She nods, "I know. But you kept the secret about Sarah being alive. You let me fall in love with you while I was mourning my daughter who wasn't dead."

He sighs, "And I never forgave myself for that."

She looks at him, "I have forgiven you Colin. I just can't be with you that way anymore."

He pulls out a photo, "I told you when I left that I was trying to work on something for you. And I was. This is it."

Liz takes the picture from him.

She stares at the lovely house in the photo.

She shakes her head, "What is this?"

He sighs, "Liz I bought this land. I have been building this home. It's a small town far away from here. The most peaceful boring place you could imagine. I want to give you everything that you deserve, I want to give you your dream."

Liz stares at Colin in shock.

Beacon:

Marah and Edmund are mingling.

Reva walks over to them, "Marah may I speak with you?"

Edmund looks at Marah.

She sighs, "Uh... anything you have to say to me, you can say in front of Edmund."

Reva stares, "Marah how could you? This is not how you tell us things. I shouldn't have to find out with a room of acquaintances. I'm your mother."

Marah sighs, "I'm sorry. I've been busy. Besides you have enough things going on. Ava and Shayne are engaged and having a baby. Focus on them."

Reva looks at her, "What is going on?"

Edmund cuts in, "Please excuse us Reva. Or should I say Mother?"

Reva stares, "You shouldn't."

Marah and Edmund walk away.

Shayne and Ava walk over to Reva.

Reva sighs, "I can't believe this."

Shayne stares, "Is this for real?"

Ava looks at them, "I swear you guys, Edmund didn't tell me anything about this. Even when we were talking about the pregnancy last week."

Reva stares, "Something isn't right. I can feel it."

Shayne puts his arm around his mother, "Marah is smart."

Reva sighs, "Well I'm still worried. Something is brewing."

Across the room.

Josh stands with Billy and Vanessa.

Billy looks at him, "You okay?"

Josh sighs, "No. But I need to get this speech out of the way. Then I need to have a serious talk with my daughter. But I'm not making it to midnight. So let's hurry up."

Billy nods, "Well the second you feel tired we are getting you to bed."

Josh sighs, "We surpassed that."

Josh tries to get everyone's attention but is interrupted.

Across the room Edmund is clinking his glass.
