ANOTHER WORLD 117
Carl confronts Iris
WINTHROPS HOUSE
Cass
and Stacey
have a conversation while they sit on the couch, eating breakfast...
Cass: I sure miss the good cooking.
Stacey: Judging from what was in the fridge, you haven't had a good home cooked meal in a while.
Cass: I left all the kitchen to duties to Frankie and Lila.
Stacey: You mean Lila the liar.
Cass: Stace, don't even start. Lila and I mostly had a great marriage.
Stacey: What about Frankie?
Cass: Frankie and I had Charlie.
Stacey: You also had a date the other night. How did that go?
Cass: It went very well actually.
Stacey: That's...good.
Cass: Frankie taught me how to be a family man.
Stacey: What about Kathleen?
Cass: Kathleen and I never got a chance because of her going into witness protection.
Stacey: Are you discounting what she meant to you?
Cass: No, of course not. I loved Kathleen with all my heart.
Stacey: And Nicole?
Cass: Nicole has been through a lot in her life, and I hope she recovers. I loved Nicole, too, and then I found out that she let Felicia take the rap for Jason Frame's death.
Stacey: And then there's lying Lila.
Cass: Lila and I had a great marriage, and a wonderful family. She helped me raise Charlie and I think of Jasmine as my own daughter, but Frankie seems to trump them all. She made me a better man back then, and she's making me one all over again. I'm falling in love with her again.

MCKINNONS HOUSE
Jake
and Bridget
are in Bridget's bedroom. Jake drags a dresser from one end of the room to the other.
Bridget (sitting at her desk watching Jake): You're doing a great job dad. Thanks for helping me move my room around. It needed a new look.
Jake: From the looks of things, I'M the only one rearranging things.
Bridget: Have the police found anything about Grandpa Reginald?
Jake: They made an announcement about that on the news. Are you still salty about what your mom and I said about him?
Bridget: That's not the person I saw. I know he loved me.
Jake: I'm sorry honey. Your mother and I wouldn't lie to you about that.
Jake suddenly falls to the floor in pain grabbing his leg...
Bridget: Dad?
Jake: I think I hurt my knee.

CORY PUBLISHING
Iris
walks into her newly painted and re-arranged office. With her back to the door, is in her office pouring a cup of coffee. Suddenly Carl 
touches her shoulder...
Iris (startled): Ahh!! What the hell are you doing here?
Carl: You need to give up Cory Publishing.

Cass: What about you sis?
Stacey: What about me?
Cass: Since you've recounted my love life, it's time we take inventory of yours.
Stacey: I've had love. I mean I lost Jamie's baby, and Derek and I have been on and off again. Having Lindsay was the best that ever happened to me. I thought after losing my first child, I thought I never could have children.
Cass: Miracles do happen.
Stacey: The circumstances for which Lindsay was conceived may have been questionable, but I love Lindsay with all my heart, and I will do anything to protect her.
Cass: Do you think that you are protecting Lindsay by keeping her from revealing the truth about Jake being her father.
Stacey: Derek is her father in every way that counts. It's no different than you and Charlie. I don't want Lindsay ruining their family. Jake is happy with Vicky and Bridget.
Cass: It sounds like you're trying to protect someones else besides Lindsay and the McKinnons.
Stacey: Who could that possibly be Cass?
Cass: Yourself...your heart? I think you have feelings for Jake.

HOSPITAL
John
examines Jake's knee in an exam area.
John: Seems like you strained some ligaments. What were you doing?
Jake: I was re-arranging Bridget's room for her.
Bridget: He was pushing my bed. He must have hurt his knee doing that.
Jake: Am I gonna need surgery?
John: No. Physical therapy should put you on the road to recovery. I'm going to go set up an appointment for you.
John leaves Jake and Bridget alone.
Bridget: I'm so sorry dad.
Jake: For what?
Bridget: I should have helped you move the bed.
Lindsay
walks by, notices Jake and Bridget, and listens...
Jake: Why in the world are you apologizing? I'll do anything for you. You're my little girl.
Lindsay observes Jake and Bridget hugging...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Iris: You came all the way up here to tell me that Carl. You have way too much time on her hands. Then again, you are married to Rachel.
Carl: This office looks like one...big...orange.
Iris: It's a new day at Cory Publishing. I wanted all traces of Rachel out of here.
Carl: This is affecting my marriage.
Iris: I'm sorry, but your marriage is not my problem.
Carl: You should reconsider splitting the company up equally to Mac's children.
Iris: Don't you utter my father's name. Since when did you ever care about what Mac wanted? You hated him.
Carl: Old grudges die hard don't they?
Iris: Yes they do. I will NEVER forgive you for trying to kill daddy.
Carl: Perhaps I should take the same approach with you. You shot me at my wedding after Evan put real bullets in the gun you used. I want this war between you and Rachel to stop.
Iris: Clearly my former stepmommy isn't capable of making sound decisions. She married YOU didn't she?
Carl: What's the matter? Are you jealous?
Iris (laughing): Are you serious? Rachel is jealous because she can't be here running the company.
Carl: Why did I think I could ever reason with you?
Carl walks out...
Iris (yelling out): Maybe the old bitch should retire!
