INT. OAKDALE MEMORIAL (BOB'S OFFICE)

Jami sits patiently outside Bob's door with a folder containing her transcripts, resume, and various other paperwork in her hand. The door opens and Bob peeks his head out with a smile on his face.

Bob: Jami?

Jami: Y-yes.

Bob: C'mon in.

Jami takes a deep breath to contain herself and then goes inside to see it decorated with plaques and various photos of his family. However, sitting near and dear on his desk a photo--

Jami nearly loses it realizing what she has been robbed of until--

Bob: Jami, come have seat.

Jami: Umm, yes, Sir.

Jami eases down into the seat across from Bob. She hands him the folder. Bob flips through it, liking what he sees.

Bob: University of Oxford. . . sounds good. I'm still trying to figure out what made you come here to little ole' Oakdale?

Jami: Well I wanted to work over here and the States--hopefully bring what I learned over in London and apply it here and vice versa. Plus, I have family over here.

Bob: You do? Where?

Jami: California! (look off to the side) California. . .

Looking off to the side, her eyes land on a photo of his bookshelf of Bob & Kim--their wedding photo.

Jami: (sotto) How nice. . .

Bob: Excuse me?

Jami: Oh, the picture of you and I assume is your wife.

Bob: (proud) Yep. That's me and my Kim. Twenty-eight years and going strong.

Jami: How beautiful.

Bob: (handing back her folder) There is no need to look of your credentials anymore. I think you're more than qualified to join out intern program. We'd be lucky to have you.

Jami: Really?

Bob: Really. And you can start tomorrow if you can.

Jami: I'd be honored.

Jami shakes Bob's hand.

Jami: You won't regret your decision.

Bob: I'm sure I won't.

Jami grabs her things and walks out, closing the door. She leans up against the wall shedding tears of joy.

Jami: You won't regret it, Grandpa. You won't.

Not paying attention, she starts to walk off and rams into MJ sending her papers all over the floor. They both kneel down and collect them.

Jami: (wiping tears away) I am so sorry.

MJ: No problem. (noticing she's been crying) You alright?

Jami: Yeah. Oh yeah. Just got some really good news.

MJ: Glad to hear that. (extending hand) Dr. MJ Dixon.

Jami: (shaking his hand) Dr. Jamison Sartell. But everyone calls me Jami.

The two stand up and MJ hands her the papers he collected. She places them back in the folder. Bob peeks his head out the door again.

Bob: Is everything alright?

MJ: Just a minor accident.

Jami: Yeah.

Bob: OK. (going back into his office, then) Oh, MJ, this is Jami, our newest intern. You two will be spending a lot of time together for the next year. (to Jami) He's an intern too.

Jami: Great. I think I just made my first friend.

Jami smiles and walks off leaving MJ in a daze. He likes what he sees.

Bob: (interrupting moment) Pretty girl, huh?

MJ: Yeah.

On MJ, intrigued,

INT. MONA LISA

Mo sits at a table sketching designs when Lisa comes over to the table.

Lisa: Hello, sweetheart. Are you enjoying the food here?

Mo: Huh? (noticing the untouched food on the table) Oh wow! I am so sorry. I was so wrapped up in sketching that I totally forgot that the waiter brought the plate out here. My mother would kill me if she knew I was drawing at a table in public.

Lisa: No problem, honey. We all get wrapped up in other things. . .(noticing the sketch). . .especially when we have talent like that--are you a designer?

Mo: I'd like to think I am or at least be able to be one in the near future. Why do you ask, Ms. . .

Lisa: Grimaldi. But you can call me Lisa.

Mo: THE Lisa Grimaldi? The designer?!

Lisa: (grinning) In the flesh!

Mo chunks her pad onto the floor and grabs Lisa into a hug. Lisa is bewildered.

Mo: (pulling away) Oh my God! I was a HUGE fan of Get Real Fashions! Would it be bad if I was to tell you that I still fit into some of the dresses that you made years ago! And Barbara Ryan--she's your friend and I loved her daughter, Jennifer's line, Street Jeans! I can't believe that I am talk to THE Lisa Grimaldi.

Lisa: (basking in it) Believe it! But with designs like that, you've got a great future yourself.

Mo: I do?

Lisa: You do. (hands her a card) Meet me at this address in the morning. I might have a job in store for you. . .?

Mo: Monique.

Lisa: Monique. See you in the morning.

Lisa gets up and walks away. On Mo, thrilled,

INT. WORLDWIDE (MAILROOM)

Gabriel stuffs mail into various mailboxes when Paul enters.

Paul: Gabriel. Just the man I've been looking for.

Gabriel: You have? Why?

Paul: Is that how you're supposed to talk to your superior? I'm sure your dad has taught you proper etiquette when adressing superiors. Then again, your dad is Craig Montgomery. . .

Gabriel: My apologies. Let me try that again. (being flippant) Mr. Ryan, how may I help you?

Paul hands him a package.

Paul: I need this delivered to Lucinda in person as soon as possible.

Gabriel: Why not fax it? Email it?

Paul: Why don't you do your job?

Gabriel: (looking at the mass amounts of mail then Paul) What is all of this then?

Paul: Just deliver the package within the next thirty minutes. This is important business. I'm trusting you. I just hope I don't eat these words. . .

Paul walks off as Gabriel watches with disdain on his face.

Gabriel: (sighs) Why the h*ll couldn't he have delivered this. (looks at watch) I was supposed to meet Liberty after putting up this mail and I'll be here all night.

Gabriel moans and exits, slamming the door behind him.

INT. CARLY/JACK

Open on Jack, JJ, and Parker sit on the sofa watching the NBA finals.

Jack: I get this feeling that the Heat is about to bring home the championship.

JJ: Not if Oklahoma can help it!

Carly (OS): Can someone can and get the dip for me?

Jack: (into the game) In a second, honey!

JJ: Yeah, Mom.

Parker: Well I'm hungry. JJ, go and get the dip.

JJ: You go and get it.

Parker: JJ. . .go and get the dip if you know what is best for you.

JJ glances at Parker, who has a sly smile on his face, ready to expose a secret.

JJ: (getting up) Fine.

JJ heads into the kitchen when the phone rings.

Carly (OS): Get the phone!

Jack: OK, honey.

Jack, still into the game, shuffles over to the phone, and answers it.

Jack: Hello. . .this is him. . .yes. . .what?

The phone slips out of Jack's hand as he is frozen in place, somewhat catatonic.

Parker: (noticing Jack) Dad. . .

Carly (with Baby Nora), Sage, and JJ (with a bowl of dip) from the kitchen.

Carly: Jack, what's wrong?

Jack: My mother. . .she's dead.

On Carly overwhelmed by this,

INT. SKIDZ BAR

Meg storms and slams her purse on the bar before having a seat.

Meg: I'll have the strongest drink you can come up with!

Bartender nods and goes to make her a drink. Meg sits fuming before she notices Ryder sitting beside her.

Meg: Hey you!

Ryder: Hey. Clearly, something is bothering you. Lemme guess? Emily Ryan?

Meg: I don't even want to hear that tramp's name. Not until I get a drink in me.

Ryder: Fine by me.

A moment of awkward silence and Ryder takes a sip of his beer, then

Meg: What do men see in her? I mean be honest!

Ryder: I don't know. . .I don't really know her. Know of her, yes.

Meg: Well keep it that way. That venomous viper is determined to raise my daughter at all costs. (grabs her drink and takes a sip) I'm not going to let that happen.

Ryder: Just be reasonable.

Meg: Excuse me?

Ryder: (turning to Meg) Listen, be reasonable, Meg. I know what it is like to be jerked between two mothers--my biological mother and my mother.

Guilt comes across Meg's face.

Ryder: Don't feel bad. I'm just warning you to be reasonable. Take Eliza's feelings into consideration because when both of my mothers were fighting over me, they didn't take my feelings into consideration at all. Instead, they both thought they knew best and really didn't. There is enough love to go around.

Meg: No offense, Ryder, but I have to get my daughter away from her. Emily is so baby hungry--

Ryder: You're going to regret it one day, Meg. You all are. Be reasonable.

Meg: I can't be?! This is Emily Stewart we are talking about. The same woman who is infamous for stealing men and now babies. You should know or have at least heard about it. Seducing Hughes men is a right of passage in the Stewart household.

Ryder: Well I wouldn't know about that nor do I. Just take heed of what I said.

Ryder gets up and walks away.

Meg: I can't, Ryder. I can't. Reasonable is not in Emily's vocab. But Hughes men are. I think I just found my golden ticket and you are it, Ryder.

On Meg struggling with her impending scheme,

EXT. GABRIEL'S MOTORCYCLE

Gabriel zooms down the road winding road as the rain starts to pour. His phone beeps and Gabriel reaches in his pocket to reveal a text from Liberty that states, "I can't wait to see you tonight. I love you."

Gabriel heart warms at the sight of the text. Then looks up to notice he has drifted into the wrong lane. An oncoming taxi rams into Gabriel, sending him into the air before hitting the ground.

The taxi comes a screeching halt and a pair of man's feet rush out the back of the taxi over to Gabriel. Kneeling down and taking off Gabriel's helmet, we hear a gasp. We pan up to see it's Luke.

Luke: Oh my God. (to the taxi driver) What have you done!

Taxi Driver: What are you talking about?! He was on the wrong side of road!

Luke: Just go! Go get help!

Taxi Driver: What about my money?

Luke: You stupid b*stard! How can you worry about getting paid at a time like this! Go get help now before I kick your a**!

The Taxi Driver hops into the car and speed off.

Luke: Hang on, Gabriel, help is coming. Just hang on.

On Luke cradling a bloody Gabriel in his arms,

FADE OUT

- Luke returns to Oakdale with Noah soon following

- History repeats itself as tragedy strikes involving a young teen

I forgot Gabriel was still around.

Nice use of Ryder and his history (he did know Emily, through his friendship with Dani, but not that well).
