INT. DAVID'S PENTHOUSE - NIGHT

Cara knocks on the door.

INT. CALEB'S HOME - NIGHT

Asher stands.

ASHER: You don't want me staying here?

CALEB: I don't.

ASHER: Why not?

CALEB: I don't want you caught up in my drama. You have enough going on. You shouldn't be wanting to handle my mistakes. It isn't right for a father to do that to his son.

ASHER: Like it or not..., I am here to stay.

INT. ZACK AND KENDALL'S HOME - NIGHT

Erica is fluffing her pillow in the living room. It is apparent she is staying at the house. Kendall comes down the stairs with a blanket. She hands it to Erica.

ERICA: Thank you, sweetheart.

KENDALL: I know how cold it gets down here.

ERICA: Thank you for letting me stay here.

KENDALL: Of course.

Erica puts the blanket on the couch.

KENDALL: Mom...

ERICA: Yes.

KENDALL: You never did tell me why you wanted to stay here tonight. It is fine and all. But, I am craving an explanation. So, why are you staying here?

INT. KRYSTAL'S - NIGHT

Bianca and Marisa sit down.

BIANCA: I am so happy that we are getting this night out. It really makes me excited!

MARISA: Me too. Oh!

BIANCA: What?

MARISA: I meant to tell you that the babysitter called. She said that she can keep the girls overnight. That means dessert may be in order.

Bianca laughs, as the two kiss.

BIANCA: Dessert is always good.

MARISA: Yes, it is.

Then, Bianca's phone rings. Bianca checks it.

MARISA: What is it?

BIANCA: Work.

INT. CALEB'S HOME - NIGHT

Caleb stands and finishes off a bottle of scotch.

ASHER: Look, dad, you need my help. You need me to stay here.

CALEB: No, I don't.

ASHER: If you didn't, then you wouldn't have finished that bottle of scotch.

CALEB: You helped.

ASHER: You started before I got here.

CALEB: Good point.

ASHER: (Sighs) Dad..., I love you. I want nothing but the best for you. We worked hard for a father/son relationship. So, will you please let me stay here? So, we don't crumble that relationship.

INT. ZACK AND KENDALL'S HOME - NIGHT

Erica and Kendall sit down on the couch together.

ERICA: I was running out of options. I needed someone tonight. And, I thought, well Kendall might work.

KENDALL: Why did you need someone? Why couldn't you stay with Bianca?

ERICA: I couldn't stay with Bianca, because Jackson is staying there, until his new apartment is finished.

KENDALL: We have one question answered. What about the other one?

ERICA: It might shock you if I answer the other one.

KENDALL: What is it, mom?

ERICA: Honey..., I was accused of taking a drink.

Kendall is shocked to know that her mother might have taken a drink.

Bianca is working hard. Her phone rings. She answers.

BIANCA: Bianca Montgomery.

MARISA: (OVER PHONE) Hey, Binx, I'm just going to get the girls and head home.

BIANCA: That is probably for the best.

MARISA: What?

BIANCA: I thought that I could make it back, but Kendall left too much work. I love you.

MARISA: I love you too.

Bianca hangs up the phone. She keeps working.

INT. KRYSTAL'S - NIGHT

Marisa is at her table. She leaves a tip. She grabs her purse. As she stands, she wipes a tear from her face. She is very sad that Bianca couldn't make it back.

INT. DAVID'S PENTHOUSE - NIGHT

Cara is still knocking on the door.

CARA: (Sighs) Where the hell is he? Come on! Answer the door, David. You know what? Whatever.

As Cara is about to walk away, David answers.

DAVID: Cara...
