PART 1

HOSPITAL

Iris is walking down the hall on her cell phone.

Iris: I thought you had it all covered Tucker. This can’t be happening now. They weren’t supposed to find out. Don’t worry, I’m going to handle it. I considered this scenario long before I approved the funding for your reality show. Goodbye.

Iris hangs up her cell phone, and notices Cory in the chapel, and walks in unnoticed.

Cory: God I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have fed into what Iris was telling me about dad. Please give me a chance to make amends with him. He said he changed; that he wasn’t the man who terrorized mom and Mac. I was so mean to him. I held it against him and I shouldn’t have. Please don’t let my father die.

Iris touches Cory on his right shoulder.

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

Grant and Paulina are with Cass, Charlie and Kirkland.

Paulina: I’m gonna go see Rachel.

Cass: Maybe Grant should go with you. He needs to stay out of it. This is between me and Charlie.

Grant: My son is also involved, so that involves me.

Cass: Well your son and my daughter are NOT getting married.

Frankie walks up to them.

Frankie: I could hear you guys all the way down the hall. Did I hear right Charlie?

Charlie: Yes mom, and dad is having a hissy fit.

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

Matt walks into Mitch’s hospital room, where Felicia sits at his bedside with Mitch there.

Felicia: It’s good to see you! How have you been?

Matt: Been great.

Mitch: Jasmine texted me the other day. Then when I called her back, she didn’t answer.

Matt: She’s a texter. Our conversations never last more than two minutes. What did she want?

Mitch: The usual. Some money; a new pair of shoes; some clothes.

Matt: She’s got more than enough of that.

Mitch: I wired her something. I take great pleasure in spoiling my granddaughter.

Felicia: I will be doing the same thing when Jenna and Lorna have their babies.

Mitch: How long you in town for?

Matt: I heard about what happened at home, so I came to see you, but I really need to see my mother.

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

Rachel is at Carl’s bedside as he continues to breathe through a ventilator.

Rachel: I’m not going to lose you again. I won’t let it happen. We just got you back.

Paulina opens the door quietly. Rachel gets up and hugs her.

Rachel: Good to see you.

Paulina: My God. What happened at the house?

Rachel: Carl was poisoned with a neurotoxin. He’s not even breathing on his own. If we don’t get him treatment soon, he could die.

Paulina: Is there anything I can do?

Rachel: As a matter of fact...there is.

PART 2

Cass/Charlie/Grant/Kirkland/Frankie

Cass: This wedding is NOT happening. Not right now!

Grant: And just how do you think you’re going to stop it?

Charlie: Yeah dad that’s what I’d like to know.

Frankie: Let’s go back to my room and talk about it.

Kirkland: I love Charlie, and I am not going to hurt her.

Cass: You can’t guarantee that!

Grant: Just like you can’t ensure that Charlie isn’t going to hurt my son!

Frankie: Cass, Charlie...let’s go please.

Charlie turns to Kirkland.

Charlie: Don’t leave babe.

As they leave, Grant turns to Kirkland.

Grant: I know you said you were going to ask Charlie to marry you, but I didn’t know you were going to do it so soon.

Kirkland: I love her dad.

Grant: I don’t doubt that at all, but it does seem like you’re rushing a bit. Would it have anything to do with what’s on that flash drive?

Kirkland: NO! That’s behind me dad. I have not even LOOKED at another guy since then. I love Charlie, and I want to spend the rest of my life with her.

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

Iris/Cory

Iris sits at a pew behind Cory

Cory: What are you doing here?

Iris: I heard you...and I can’t but feel that I might be partly responsible.

Cory: You didn’t poison dad.

Iris: No, but I caused your animosity toward Carl. I heard you praying.

Cory: You were listening? How could you?

Iris: What I’m trying to say is that I’m sorry. I should not have made you doubt him. No matter what he did to me or my father, he’s still your father, and you love him.

Cory: I shouldn’t have been so mean to him. All he was trying to do was reach out to me. He had been in a coma for years.

Iris: For what it’s worth, I know what it’s like to lose a father.

Cory: From what I heard, you...loved Mac very much.

Iris: And before he died, we weren’t on good terms. I did something terrible, but he never hated me for it. He said he loved me, and it meant everything in the world. I heard you pray about your dad and...I really should not have told you all about his past. I was so bitter when I got released from prison. I wanted to turn you against him and Rachel, and I was wrong for that.

Cory: I may never get a chance to make amends with him.

Iris: Don’t say that.

Cory: It’s going to take a miracle for dad to recover.

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

Rachel/Paulina/Matt

Matt walks in.

Paulina: Anything.

Rachel: Matthew.

Matt: Mom, Paulina.

Paulina (hugging Matt): Back in town?

Matt: For a little while. I had to come see mom.

Rachel: Did you see Mitch?

Matt: Yes I did. It looks like he’s gonna be fine.

Rachel: I’m glad the both of you are here. There’s something I need you both to do for me, because I trust you.

Iris walks by, notices the three talking, and listens.

Rachel: You can’t tell anyone what I’m about to tell you two; nobody.

Paulina: Of course Rachel what is it?

Matt: I have an idea. I made all the arrangements.

Rachel: Carl has been registered at Cedar’s Hospital in Springfield.

Iris takes a mental note and walks away.

Paulina: And you don’t want anyone to know about that?

Matt: There’s more to it than that.

Rachel: Where I’m really taking him is to the Cavanaugh Clinic in Monticello.

Matt: The Cavanaugh Clinic is a cover for something else.

Paulina: You’re almost scaring me Rachel. What kind of facility is the Cavanaugh Clinic.

Rachel: I’m about to tell you, but you must promise me that you will not tell anyone. If anyone finds out, Carl could die.
