BAY CITY CENTER

Tyrone is enjoying a coffee, while reading over some documents, and he gets a surprise request....from Donna, who politely asks to sit with him.

Tyrone: Have a seat. I'm just going over some documents.

Donna: Attorney work.

Tyrone: Yep. I was waiting for Marley to get out of her session with Dr. Taylor. She should be out any minute now.

Donna: Do you think she's getting better?

Tyrone: I'm not sure to be honest with you.

Donna: Marley is working very hard to recover from those feelings.

Tyrone: I realized that I can't help her with those.

Donna (putting her hand on Tyrone's arm): All you can do...is be there for her.

Meanwhile, from a close distance, unseen and unnoticed by Tyrone and Donna, a mystery person takes a picture of Donna's hand on Tyrone's arm.

CORYS HOUSE

Elizabeth is looking at her dress when Amanda knocks on the door.

Amanda: Can I come in?

Elizabeth: Sure. You like my prom dress?

Amanda: It's absolutely beautiful...going with anyone.

Elizabeth: Guess I'll find out a little later.

Amanda: Oooh...special guy?

Elizabeth smiles.

Elizabeth: Yeah I hope he asks me out.

Amanda: I can probably venture a guess who it might be.

Elizabeth: Really. Go ahead smarty pants.

Amanda: Dante Carlino. You guys have been joined together at the hip most of your lives.

Elizabeth: Yep. He's my friend.

Amanda: Seems like you like him.

Elizabeth: Yeah I do. I hope he likes me, too.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

BAY CITY CENTER

Cory and Michele are at a table. Cory's hand is on top of Michele's.

Cory: You excited?

Michele: Yeah it's been like magic. I can't believe this is actually happening.

Cory: Yeah. Me neither. You're going to Harvard. I'm going to Boston University.

Michele: And we're going to the prom tomorrow.

Cory: I've loved you since eighth grade.

Michele: Have you?

Cory: Of course I have. You don't believe me?

Michele: If you give me a kiss, I might.

Cory and Michele kiss, and Bridget watches from afar.

RACHEL'S OFFICE

Rachel: This is delicious.

Mitch: Grilled salmon.

Rachel: Hey, Matt told me to tell you hello.

Mitch: How are they doing?

Rachel: He's great.

Mitch: And our granddaughter?

Rachel: Jasmine's back south with her mother.

Mitch: I'm glad our son's doing well.

Rachel: When was the last time you talked to him?

Mitch: A couple months ago. I was thinking about going to see him but...

Rachel: But what? He's your son.

Mitch: He doesn't think of me as his father. He probably shouldn't.

Rachel: Just because Mac and I raised him does not change the fact that you're his biological father.

Mitch: I don't want to push too hard you know, and I'm not trying to take Mac's place in his life.

Rachel: He will always think of Mac as his father, but Mac is no longer with us. You're here....and he's going to need you.

Mitch: Once I get past the guilt.

Rachel: You're exactly right. It'll do you both some good, if you make yourself a part of his life.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amanda: He will...

Elizabeth: Look I just wanted to say I'm sorry...

Amanda: About what?

Elizabeth: Come on Amanda I was a total bitch to mom the other day.

Amanda: Mom is strict with you. She must love you a lot.

Elizabeth: I know. I just can't stand being grounded.

Amanda: Well she's letting you go to the prom.

Elizabeth: I didn't think she was gonna let me go.

Amanda: Mom can be full of surprises.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tyrone: Yeah...I love your daughter with all my heart.

Donna: I know she's in good hands with you. Well I'm gonna get going. I'm going shopping with my granddaughters for their last minute prom stuff.

Tyrone: Ahh how exciting.

Donna: Have a good day.

As Tyrone continues to sift through his papers, Grant sits across from him.

Grant: Is that from the Governor's office?

Tyrone: His letter of recommendation.

Grant: I just wanted to thank you. The Governor owed me a favor.

Tyrone: Once I put this together, I don't see why this person can't be released.

Grant: This will be great for your career.

Tyrone: Yeah.

Grant: I need a favor from you now...you can't tell anyone about my involvement in this.

Tyrone: Typical Grant huh? Up to no good.

Grant: I don't want people finding out I had anything to do with it...especially not Paulina.
