ANOTHER WORLD 88

Felicia lays into Cass about Nicole

WINTHROPS HOUSE

Marley sits with Nicole in the living room.

Marley: Can I get you anything?

Nicole: No, except if you have a cure for cancer.

Marley taps Nicole.

Marley: That's not funny. I want to be here for you.

Nicole: And I appreciate all of my family being by my side. I've always wanted the family to be close, but I didn't want a terminal illness to be the reason.

Marley: Has Allen been by to see you?

Nicole: He has. I've missed so much time with my son. Reginald paid his father to take him away. When he found me, I feel like a hole in my heart was filled.

TYRONE'S OFFICE

Allen visits Tyrone...he walks in and looks around....

Allen: Zack Edwards and Stacey Winthrop used to work here huh? You know dad and Zack were college buddies.

Tyrone: Look I'm busy.

Allen: You can't be too busy for your own brother, knowing what I know.

Tyrone: What do you want Allen?

Allen: My grandfather stopped paying for my hotel room, and I need a place to live.

Tyrone: Marley already asked me.

Allen: She did? So what did you tell her?

Tyrone: I said hell to the no.

AT THE BLAKES

Felicia opens the door with Mitch right behind her.

Felicia: Cass. Come on in honey.

Felicia pecks Cass on his cheek.

Mitch: Cass hey. What brings you by?

Cass: I was just thinking about...a friend of ours.

Mitch: You know what Cass, I was, too.

Felicia (catching on): None of us would be in this room if it weren't for him.

Felicia: Mitch and I really grew close in Mexico when the Sin Stalker was after me.

Mitch: I was protecting the woman I love.

Felicia: Yes you were.

Cass: I really miss Wally.

Mitch: We all do.

Cass: I wonder what he would think about what I just did.

Felicia: And what would that be?

Cass: I took Nicole in.

Felicia: You what?

Cass: She's living with me.

Felicia: Are you crazy!? How could you do that after what she's done?

WINTHROPS HOUSE

Marley: Do you think that's the reason you abused cocaine in the past?

Nicole: I can't be sure, but it might have had something to do with it.

Marley: Maybe craziness runs in the family, given that I locked Vicky in a basement. She almost died of pneumonia. We should focus on your recovery. I've reached out to Allen.

Nicole: What Reginald did to him was just evil.

Marley: I asked if he wanted to live with Tyrone and me until he got a place to stay on his own.

Nicole: What did he say?

Marley: Tyrone refused, but I'm going to help Allen, no matter what Tyrone says.

Nicole: I'm so happy that you want to help my son, but not at the expense of your marriage. Allen has plenty of family in town who can help him.

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

TYRONE'S OFFICE

Allen: You know you've always treated me worse than the bottom of your shoe. You and your mother. We're supposed to be brothers.

Tyrone: You're a constant reminder of my father cheating on my mother. Dad had the nerve to bring you back home after you were in boarding school.

Allen: Are you jealous that I'm part of the Love family, and all the money they have.

Tyrone: There's plenty of the Love family in town. Why do you need to live with Marley and me?

Allen: You and Marley ARE my family.

Tyrone: Dad should never have cheated on mom like that.

Allen: Maybe you're just like dad, especially when it comes to my Aunt Donna. Marley's gonna get an eyeful on just how alike you and dad are.

Tyrone jumps up out of his seat, grabs Allen's collar and jacks him against the wall.

Tyrone: I'm so SICK and TIRED of your damn blackmail. God help you, or anyone who tries to destroy my marriage to Marley.

MEANWHILE, A MYSTERY PERSON IS IN ALLEN'S HOTEL ROOM, LOOKING AT THE FLASH DRIVE WITH THE PICTURES OF TYRONE AND DONNA. THIS PERSON ERASES ALL TRACES OF IT ON ALLEN'S LAPTOP, PUTS THE FLASH DRIVE IN THEIR POCKET, AND LEAVES.

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

AT THE BLAKES

Cass: Nicole is not that kind of person anymore.

Felicia: Have you forgotten that she lied to you for months, not to mention that she let me rot in prison for Jason Frame's murder?

Cass: We were engaged to be married. I still care about her.

Felicia: Why on Earth would you let her live with you, Charlie, and Lindsay?

Cass: She's sick.

Felicia: Truer words were never spoken. She definitely could use more psychiatric help---

Cass: She has cancer!

Felicia looks shocked.
