    Jenny almost fell backwards when she realized that the person hooked up to the ventilation system was London. All Jenny could do was shake. Jenny taps on London’s elbow. London looks at her and begins to scream. Jenny takes off the ventilation mask to let her speak.

    London:
    Help me!

    Jenny:
    Funny I was going to tell you the same thing. How did you get here? What- I thought you were dead.

    London:
    That’s what Nan wanted people to think. She’s had me here for the longest time. How much do you know about my situation?

    Jenny:
    Not a heck of a lot. I kind of been going through my own situation that Nan so happened to get involved with.

    London:
    Well, I thought that I was dying. I had my baby and was told that there was a chance of death due to birth complications. I found out that I wasn’t dying but instead was kidnapped by Nan. She made me watch everything as she took over my life. She pretended to be me so that Blake would sign over the school to her.

    Jenny:
    That sounds like our girl alright. Are you okay now? You’re hooked up to a machine.

    London:
    It’s a machine to drug me. She knew that I was going to freak out. Every hour this machine knocks me out. I wake up groggy and forgetful. Though she has taken somewhat good care of me. Giving me clothes and feeding me. I guess it’s better than death. What has she done to you?

    Jenny:
    What hasn’t she done? She tricked me into thinking that my boyfriend was here, ordered my miscarriage, stole me phone and made him think that I don’t love him anymore so that she can dig her claws into him, and then kidnapped me also. I’ve been staying in the room next to you.

    London:
    I thought I heard some sort of banging.

    Jenny:
    Yep. That was me trying to escape. The worst part of the whole thing is that she’s been tape recording what’s going on outside of her lair. It’s called The Nan World.

    London:
    She’s taken it too far this time.

    Jenny:
    We need to get out of here.

    Jenny disconnects London from the machine. London shakes her head and stands up.

    London:
    Thank you but there’s something you need to know.

    Jenny:
    What’s that?

    London:
    When she first threw me in here she told me that I couldn’t try escaping because she has these rooms hooked up to explosives!

    Officer Wendell puts his badge away and Alicia walks into the hallway, shutting the door behind her.

    Alicia:
    Can I help you officer?

    Officer Wendell:
    We got a call of a disturbance in this apartment complex. Mind if I speak to the owner of the room? A mister Jace Broyeau.

    Alicia:
    He isn’t here at the moment. I’m his girlfriend Alicia Amberson.

    Officer Wendell:
    Where did he go? It’s not exactly the smartest thing to leave the scene of the crime.

    Alicia:
    I wasn’t sure that a crime had been committed. Hope it’s nothing serious.

    Officer Wendell:
    What all can you tell me then?

    Alicia:
    All I know is…that there was some sort of argument between Will and Jace. Will hit his head on the steps. That’s basically it. Boys will be boys. Stupid boys of course.

    Officer Wendell:
    Was there drinking involved?

    Alicia:
    Not that I recall. If you excuse me, I’m going to go to sleep. It’s been a very long night. Should Jace come and find you?

    Officer Wendell:
    Not yet. We’ll be in touch.

    Officer Wendell exits. Alicia walks back into Jace’s room and gives it a moment to make sure that the coast was clear. He’s on his computer typing, still drunk and disheveled from the previous incident.

    Alicia:
    You don’t have to worry about the cops. Everything seems to be cleared.

    Jace:
    Things aren’t cleared between us. I know you two kissed and I’m disgusted. I don’t know if I wanna vomit from all of the drinking or the thought of you two smacking lips.

    Alicia:
    It was an accident. It was harmless. It meant-

    Jace:
    Nothing. That’s how you feel about our relationship.

    Alicia:
    NO! I love you.

    Jace:
    (hollering)
    You’re lying!

    Jace hurls a book from his desk at the wall out of anger. Alicia ducks in fear.

    Jace:
    It’s time for you to go.

    Alicia:
    But-

    Jace:
    You sided with Will when you told me how you believed that I threw him down the steps when I didn’t. I needed you to believe me and not think the worst.

    Alicia:
    How the hell did he end up that way?

    Jace:
    I don’t know. The guy’s twisted! He has problems, just like you, so maybe you two are meant for each other.

    Alicia:
    I just lied to the police for you! Hopefully that shows that this relationship means more than just nothing. You and I aren’t normal but we survive because we have each other. That’s why I wanted to protect you from authorities and from yourself. That’s why I lied to them.

    Jace:
    The only person you’re lying to is yourself! Get out of my room before I do something drastic! If I see Will, I just might kill him!

    Alicia exits. Jace slams the door behind her. All Alicia could do was slide from the wall to the floor. Tears began to steam out of her eyes but Alicia cupped her hands in her face to hide them.

    The next morning, Alley walks in the shopping area of Point Palace. She then sees Blake standing by himself at The Palace Café. She smiles at him and gives him a hug.

    Alley:
    Hey you.

    Blake:
    Hey yourself.

    Alley:
    You seemed so serious on the phone.

    Blake:
    Yeah I need some girl advice and you’re my number one to go to.

    Alley:
    Still trying to cope over your dead ex?

    Blake:
    No. I have someone new in my life.

    Alley:
    Wow I have been out of the loop. Please tell me all about her.

    Blake:
    Her name’s Marli and she’s from Reno. That’s all I know about her at least that's what she's let me know.

    Alley:
    And the problem is?

    Blake:
    I have this distinct feeling like she’s hiding something from me. She’s so secretive all the time and last night, I find out that she’s been talking to the FBI.

    Alley:
    Maybe she’s going to school for that kind of stuff or she’s an actual ninja spy!

    Blake:
    Funny.

    Alley:
    Does she make you happy or did you just dive into a reationship to get over London?

    Blake pauses to think for a moment. Before answering, Alley gets a call on her cell phone. It’s John who was outside of his darkened photo lab.

    Alley:
    Hold on.
    (answering)
    Hey John.

    John:
    Where you at?

    Alley has a flashback of what he told the previous day.

    John:
    Two people I don’t want to talk or think about is Blake and Marissa. Those are my turn offs.

    The flashback ends when John catches her attention.

    John:
    Hello? Alley?

    Alley:
    Yeah I’m here. I’m…actually at the Library right now.

    John:
    Are you alone?

    Alley looks at Blake.

    Alley:
    Yes I am.

    John:
    When you’re done, maybe we could go out to lunch or something. I gotta go, I have a beep. See you later babe.

    Alley:
    Sure thing. I love you.

    Alley hangs up with John. John switches his cell phone over to Marissa who’s also at the shopping area of Point Palace. She walks the sidewalks with baby L.J. in a stroller.

    John:
    What’s up sis?

    Marissa:
    Wanted to ask if it’s okay to have a business partner come over? It is after all your place that you’re being kind enough to lend to me. I wasn't sure if I needed clearance on visitors.

    John:
    Yeah go ahead. Actually I’m stuck at the photo lab and I know for a fact that Alley’s at the library. I don’t know when she’ll be back. You two better behave.

    Marissa:
    Great. Thank you John and L.J. says she misses her daddy.

    John smiles when he hangs up with Marissa who looked across the street to see Alley with Blake.

    Marissa:
    Well, well, well. At the library are we?

    Marissa positions her cell phone and takes pictures of Blake and Alley together.

    Marissa:
    (to L.J.)
    I love it when I catch that girl in a lie. Makes my life so much more enjoyable.

    Marissa giggles with satisfaction and walks off.

    On Cemetery Hill, Anna Lee stands in front of her dead sister’s grave. It read Tracie Sheridan, 1983-2001. Anna Lee touches the engraved lettering.

    Anna Lee:
    Hey Tracie. This isn’t fair what happened to you. You should be alive right now. Probably plotting with Nan and me. It was always fun when it was the three of us. We were inseparable. A hassle for mom and dad. There for each other when they were divorced. I always thought you were the best sister out of all of us. Nan has her own problems and I was a follower but you…you were a lover.

    Anna Lee forces a smile and places a rose on top of the grave.

    Anna Lee:
    I would change and do anything to have you alive. Too bad we have to face reality. That this life is harsh and that people here are cruel.

    Anna Lee begins to tear up. She couldn’t control it anymore. Tears drop onto the top of the grave.

    Anna Lee:
    I miss you. I thought I’d find you here. Alive and well. Not the total opposite. Somehow I still can’t over the shock that you’re gone.

    Anna Lee kisses the grave with her fingers.

    Anna Lee:
    Goodbye Tracie. I love you and I’ll avenge you.

    Anna Lee wipes her tears away and walks off.

    Will wakes up in his hospital bed at Cody Memorial Hospital to Rena pouring him water. She hands him the cup. He accepts.

    Rena:
    How are you feeling?

    Will:
    My head hurts. You should’ve seen the other guy.

    Rena:
    I’m sure you gave Jace a good ass kicking.

    Will chuckles at her comment. He holds onto his head to feel the bandages.

    Will:
    You don’t have to be here.

    Rena:
    Nonsense. I want to. I know you’re probably wanting me to be Alicia but I guess you have to settle for second best.

    Will:
    You’re not-

    Alicia enters the room with a to go box from The Palace Café.

    Rena:
    Speak of the devil.

    Alicia:
    I wanted to see how you were doing. I got you something from the café. Enjoy.

    Will:
    How’s your maniac of a boyfriend?

    Alicia:
    Still passed out. I came to also find out what happened last night. I open the door and I find you falling down the steps.

    Rena:
    It’s kind of obvious what happened. Your boyfriend attacked Will!

    Alicia:
    Why don’t you let him talk.

    Will:
    Rena’s right. We got into an argument, then a fight, and then he bashed a beer bottle off my head.

    Alicia:
    I’m sorry to hear that. Are you going to press charges?

    Will:
    I haven’t decided yet.

    Rena:
    Alicia can I talk to you outside?

    Alicia:
    Sure. Will I hope you feel better and I feel awful for what happened.

    Alicia and Rena walk outside of the room in the hall of the hospital.

    Rena:
    You should feel terrible. They were fighting over you.

    Alicia:
    I was going to make my decision on who I wanted but then this happened. I was sidetracked!

    Rena:
    It’s too late. I’ve decided that I feel something strong for Will.

    Alicia:
    Really?

    Rena:
    Yes. I think that means that you’re decision was made. Go and stay with Jace.

    Rena steps into Will’s room until turning back to Alicia.

    Rena:
    By the way, keep that raging alcoholic away from my man!

    Later in the afternoon, Carrie knocks on Dylan’s office door at the schoolboard wing, Sean answers it instead. Carrie shoots him a warm smile and walks into Dylan’s office.

    Carrie:
    Hey Sean is Dylan around?

    Sean:
    He’s not. There’s a meeting going on for the school board members.

    Carrie:
    Good.

    Sean:
    Anything I can help you with?

    Carrie:
    I wanted to thank you for the wonderful engagement dinner. It was just perfect.

    Sean:
    Only doing my job. Dylan wanted perfection and you both got it.

    Carrie:
    I actually was wondering. How did you find out about the job to begin with? You seem so poised and mature. I’d imagine you would be working for The White House.

    Sean:
    That’s quite a compliment but I needed to keep myself busy so this was the perfect opportunity. A friend told me about it.

    Myra buzzes into Dylan’s office. Sean intercepts her call.

    Myra:
    Lana Colby is on her way up to see Dylan.

    Sean:
    He’s busy right now.

    Carrie:
    Send her up. I’d love to spend more time with my future mother in law.

    Myra:
    Will do.

    Carrie:
    Did you get to meet Lana?

    Sean:
    I did. Very lively lady. If you’ll excuse me, I have to go run some more errands.

    Sean quickly makes his way out leaving Carrie by herself. Dylan walks into his office and gives a dirty look to Carrie.

    Carrie:
    Great to see you too.

    Dylan:
    I think you kind of know why I’m angry with you.

    Carrie:
    I apologize for telling your mother that you had cancer. It was a slip of the tongue.

    Dylan:
    My mother-

    Lana:
    Is in the building! Gosh you know I could hear you two arguing all the way down by the elevator.

    Dylan:
    Hi mom. I actually have to go.

    Lana:
    Don’t leave on my account.

    Carrie:
    He’s not. Dylan we’ll talk later.

    Dylan:
    Sure we will.

    Dylan exits, slamming the door behind him.

    Lana:
    That wasn’t awkward in the least.

    Carrie:
    He’s just upset about something stupid.

    Lana:
    Something over what I said. I didn’t know that you telling me about my son’s health condition was going to cause trouble.

    Carrie:
    Who would’ve thought. How about we just change the subject. Actually, I was just going to ask you what you thought of Sean Asters. He just left a little bit ago.

    Lana:
    That’s Dylan’s assistant right?

    Carrie:
    Yes. You should find out if he’s single. He’s very handsome.

    Lana:
    Hell if I’d know.

    Carrie:
    Huh?

    Lana:
    The guy was colder than a fish. He ducked out before I could even say hello. In speaking of people ducking out, don’t worry about Dylan. He usually just brushes things off. I’m going to let you two handle it. Mama’s staying out of this one.

    Lana hugs Carrie then exits Dylan’s office. Carrie walks over to Sean’s desk and starts to rummage around.

    Carrie:
    You’re not a good liar Mister Asters.

    Carrie finds a framed picture of Dylan and Sean together.

    Carrie:
    What the hell would bring you to Point Palace and better yet, to Dylan?

    Evening was close for many of the students, one of which was reporter Mik Lanlo, who was hard at work on his next magazine article. Bryan knocks on the door and walks in with a smile on his face.

    Mik:
    Bryan. I’d say that it’s a pleasure to see you but I haven’t been paid for the last time that I helped you out.

    Bryan:
    Consider it done.

    Bryan throws down an envelope full of cash. Mik counts it.

    Bryan:
    I have another proposition for you, if you’re interested. That is if you want a bonus.

    Mik:
    How are you getting all of this money? Last time I checked you were still unemployed from the school board.

    Bryan:
    That’s going to change real soon. I’ve been talking to Howard Ballinger and he’s been reconsidering his offer to the Hammertons.

    Mik:
    Really? That’s a great story.

    Bryan:
    It is but that’s not the one I want you to print.

    Mik:
    Who am I targeting this time?

    Bryan:
    Marli Calloway. She goes by that name and by Hope Crayno.

    Mik:
    Still going after that poor girl. She’s definitely a hot topic if she has two identities.

    Bryan:
    A source who knows Hope or Marli or whatever the girl’s going by figured out that she faked her death in Reno.

    Mik:
    How did you figure that one out Sherlock?

    Bryan:
    I did the research. Hope Crayno’s been dead for a few years now. She had an orbit and all.

    Mik:
    That’s definitely front page material.

    Bryan:
    You’re the best.

    Bryan exits Mik’s office and makes a call to S.R.

    Bryan:
    Hey I know you’re going to pay Marlope a visit later and I want you to apply as much pressure on her as possible. Something that my ex girlfriend taught me, you always have to have a plan B. If Marli doesn’t cave in, I can at least rely on forging e-mails from the old senile president. Remember, I’m going to need a VP when I come into power and it’s going to be you.

    Bryan hangs up with S.R. and walks off with a bigger smile then the one he walked in with.

    Ava meets Professor Strope at the entrance way of Cody Special Needs Institution. The environment was shaped like a school, full of students with special needs, and others who were willing to help them.

    Professor Strope:
    Ava I hope that you’re excited to meet your student. Her name’s Bobbie and Bobbie has down syndrome. It's all in the packet that I e-mailed you. It has tons of research for you.

    Ava:
    I’m looking forward to it.

    Professor Strope:
    Follow me.

    Professor Strope leads her to an open classroom where Ava sees a girl close to her age with her head down.

    Professor Strope:
    Bobbie. This is Ava Cecieneli. Ava this is Bobbie.

    Ava:
    Hey Bobbie. It’s nice to meet you.

    Bobbie forces a smile at her.

    Bobbie:
    You too Ava. Please sit and join me.

    Ava takes a seat across from her.

    Professor Strope:
    Well things look like they are off to a great start. I’ll leave you ladies be.

    Ava:
    Tell me about yourself.

    Bobbie:
    Okay. I’m not as stupid as you think.

    Ava:
    (caught off guard)
    What did you say?

    Bobbie:
    I know why you’re here.

    Ava:
    I’m here to be your friend.

    Bobbie:
    You’re here for a grade. You have to help me out and be there for me. I’ve had many people like you come in and out. The volunteer service is like a revolving door.

    Ava:
    Look I’ll admit that this is a project but I’m willing to learn.

    Bobbie:
    Play by my rules and you’ll be fine! Don’t even thinking about telling anyone what we talked about. Remember, who are they going to believe? You or me?

    Bobbie pats Ava’s shoulder and walks away to a bookshelf for a new book to read. Ava was stunned by her volunteer subject. Ava looks at her cell phone and sighs. Time wasn’t going fast for her. To hopefully make it go faster, Ava calls Nate. Nate answers on the third ring.

    Nate:
    What’s up?

    Ava:
    Not much except I have the student from hell.

    Ava hears giggling on the other end of the phone. Nurse Stephanie from Cody Memorial Hospital was getting cozy with Nate inside of a limo that he rented. The two are drinking and having a good time.

    Ava:
    Are you busy?

    Nate:
    Yes I am.
    (asking his guest)
    Stephanie right? From the hospital?

    Stephanie:
    That’s right.

    Nate:
    Stephanie from the hospital and I are very busy.

    Ava:
    You’re not alone?

    Nate:
    I needed some time to myself. What better way then to be with a girl who appreciates me.

    Stephanie:
    Hang up the phone lover.

    Nate:
    I’m about to go. Things are getting good where I’m at. Hope things work out for you.

    Ava:
    Nate wait! I-

    Stephanie:
    I’m taking my bra off.

    Nate:
    Bye.

    Nate hangs up and rolls the cell phone onto the cold black floor of the limo. He then jumps on top of a half naked Stephanie and fiercely kisses her.

    Ava:
    Great.

    Ava feels her cell phone getting yanked out of her hand.

    Ava:
    Hey!

    Ava turns around to find Bobbie with a smug look on her face.

    Bobbie:
    Do you want to fail? You’re supposed to be giving me attention and talking on the phone is not my idea of fun!

    Night falls in Cody, Colorado. Carlos had decided to take Nan up on her offer for dinner in her room. It was going to be completely innocent he told himself. Then he hears Jenny’s ring tone, which makes him pull out his cell phone to find that it was only a text.

    Carlos:
    Great. I can’t even hear her voice. Wonder what it says this time.

    Carlos reads with disbelief.

    Carlos:
    I’ve gone away for good. I don’t want to be with you anymore. Please understand. I’m sorry.
    (angry)
    What the hell?

    Carlos retaliates by dialing her number. Again he gets her voice mail, which angers him even more.

    Carlos:
    Jenny how the hell can you do this to me? You disappear out of no where and then you break up with me? I…I don’t even know what to say you! I can at least call you to talk to you. You hide behind a damn text. I can’t believe you’re going to throw this all away. Fine. Be like this!

    Carlos hangs up with Jenny. Nan watches from the front window of her dorm room to see Carlos freaking out on his phone. Nan laughs into her hidden camera.

    Nan:
    (to the camera)
    You broke his heart! How could you do such a thing? Now watch me pick up the pieces.

    Carlos knocks on Nan’s door. She notices how distraught he is or at least was playing it off like she was noticing it.

    Nan:
    You look like hell.

    Carlos:
    May I come in?

    Nan:
    I invited you. Please do.

    Carlos walks into Nan’s room. Nan grabs two wine goblets and a bottle of Chianti.

    Nan:
    Can I offer you some wine? You seem to have a look on your face like you want some.

    Carlos:
    Yes. That would be great.

    Nan:
    Good.
    (pouring two glasses)
    Are you sure you don’t want to talk about it?

    Nan hands Carlos the glass in which he gulps in four sips.

    Carlos:
    You of all people should be happy to know that Jenny just broke up with me.

    Nan:
    Carlos I wouldn’t wish that kind of hurt upon anyone. I’m sure she’ll come around.

    Carlos:
    May I have another glass?

    Nan:
    Sure.

    Nan pours him another in which he downs again.

    Nan:
    Slow down cowboy. I don’t want you to drink because you’re angry.

    Carlos:
    I loved her and she threw it all away. In a text!

    Nan:
    That is kind of low.

    Carlos:
    It’s beyond words.

    Nan:
    I’m here for you. Through thick and thin. You’ve been there for me to see that I’m a better person than I used to be so for that I owe you some quality friendship. Starting tonight.

    Carlos:
    You’re an amazing person Nan.

    Nan:
    Oh I wouldn’t say that. I would maybe sa-

    Before Nan could finish her sentence, Carlos planted his lips onto hers. She was happy that he took it there. Tasting the wine from his breath, Nan continues the kiss, making sure that the cameras were catching every steamy second of it.

    Marli was pacing back and forth in her room. She felt like the walls were caving in around her. A knock on her door made her jump. Marli looks into the peep hole to find S.R. She doesn’t answer it, she just stands there, shaking.

    S.R.:
    (knocking louder)
    I know you’re in there! Open up.

    Marli opens the door and pulls him into the room and shuts the door.

    S.R.:
    I like a girl who takes charge.

    Marli:
    Shut up! What the hell are you doing here anyway?

    S.R.:
    I knew exactly where you were. I did after all send you that nice gift. Thought you’d get a kick out of the bloody basketball player. Kind of like the guy that we offed way back when.

    Marli:
    That doesn’t answer my question.

    S.R.:
    I came to see you and I ended up making a best friend in Bryan Daniels.

    Marli:
    That guy is bad news.

    S.R.:
    Talk about bad news. That’s kind of you. We did the research and found out that Marli Caloway doesn’t exist because Hope Crayno died but that can’t be, you’re still alive.

    Marli:
    I admit it. I faked my death.

    S.R.:
    Bravo but why? Why would you do it?

    Marli:
    I was going through a bad time in my life and when I met you, I knew you could help.

    S.R.:
    That’s so sweet to know that I could be there for you.

    Marli:
    I needed to witness a murder. I wanted to vanish. Did you ever wonder who would come to your funeral if you died tomorrow? Well I found out. I was allowed to enter the witness protection program and I watched my closest ones mourn me.

    S.R.:
    Funny I wasn’t invited. You have problems Hope.

    Marli:
    We’re both sick. You kill people and I fake death. I want you to go back to Reno and save your dignity while you still can.

    S.R.:
    Not so fast. I want you to convince Blake to sign over the school to Bryan and me. If you don’t, then Blake gets to see what kind of a girlfriend he really has.

    Marli:
    Don you realize that Bryan’s using you? He doesn’t want any part with you. He’s only in this for himself. Why don’t you come with me? We can live a life together outside of this place. My time here is up. I have nothing left, just like in Reno.

    S.R.:
    Nope. I think I’m going to pay Blake a little visit. He deserves to know everything.

    Marli:
    (screaming)
    NO!

    S.R.:
    For a girl in the witness protection stand you really are dumb. I thought you were a better secret keeper than this. You cracked under the pressure.

    Marli:
    You’re the one who’s stupid because I’m going to have the FBI on your ass so fast that you’re head won’t even be able to spin. You’re a murderer and I have all the proof that they want. Have fun being a prison bitch.

    S.R.:
    You better start dialing because I’m on my way to see Blake. If I get to him, then you lose everything.

    S.R. runs out of Marli’s room and gets in his rental car. In a desperate rage, Marli gets into her car and speeds off after him. The two drive down the hills of the outskirts. Marli bumps into S.R.’s car to try to stop him. S.R. gets away from her until Marli puts the pedal to the medal and with all her force, slams the rear of S.R.’s car. Both cars come to a screeching halt and crash into trees.

    Casting News

    By Matt P.,

    Point Palace has returned from hiatus and with it, new and old characters are set to show up on the scene. The newest to join is actress Andrea F. Friedman as Bobbie. Friedman is best known for her portrayal of Amanda Swanson on the family drama Life Goes On. Friedman's character Bobbie will be spending a lot of time with Ava (Kim Stolz).

    A past character returns but it's being kept secret who it is. Nan (Lorena Chacon) has been hiding someone for many months and the reveal is shocking.

    Also make sure to look for the return of Adrienne Frantz who was last seen playing Nurse Stephanie from Season 4. She has made a new friend in town and acts very much like her on screen character Amber Moore from The Young and The Restless. No plans have been made if Frantz's time in Cody will be extended to a recurring role.

    "This next episode has a few reveals. Nan's secret guest and Marli's reason for being at Point Palace pushes the series to go over creative boundaries that haven't been explored before." Point Palace creator Matt Politylo explains. "Now that I've finished wrapping My Bloody Valentine 3-D, which has taken up a lot of my time, Point Palace will have less hiatuses! Hopefully." He says while crossing his fingers.

    Alicia instinctively grabbed Will’s body and put him in a comfortable position on the stairs, he slumps to his side. Frantically she feels for a pulse and is relieved to see that he was still breathing, except he was unconscious. She then notices his head was bleeding from broken glass.

    Alicia:
    (screaming to the others)
    Someone call an ambulance! Now!

    One of the other housemates gets on his cell phone and dials 911. Alicia made her way upstairs and finds Jace inebriated.

    Alicia:
    Everyone get out. Go back to your rooms. I need to talk to Jace alone.

    Jace:
    No. We’re all having a good time. Turn the damn music up!

    Jace blasts his stereo until Alicia turns it off. The housemate who made the call, finds Alicia to update her. The others heed Alicia's warning and leave.

    Housemate:
    An ambulance is on their way. The police are coming too. Will’s lying on the couch.

    Alicia:
    Help me get rid of all the beer.

    Jace:
    (to his housemate)
    Dumb ass! Why are the police here?

    Alicia:
    Please go look after Will until an ambulance gets here.

    The housemate exits. Alicia continues to clean up the room.

    Alicia:
    What happened?

    Jace:
    I…I’m not talking to you! Let me pass out. Alone!

    Alicia:
    I’m not going anywhere. Did you push Will down the steps?

    Jace:
    I’ll admit that I hit the bastard but that’s all I remember.

    Alicia:
    Oh my god, you did!

    Jace:
    Why does it even matter? You don’t believe me. Go run to your boy toy.

    Alicia:
    I don’t know what to believe Jace.

    Jace:
    Because I’m a raging alchy! God forbid you won’t take your boyfriend’s side.

    Alicia:
    Look, I’m not worried about taking sides. The police can’t see you like this. You’re too drunk.

    Jace:
    And you’re a cheating liar.

    Alicia stops dead in her tracks. She knew what he was getting at.

    Jace:
    Don’t you like the idea of two guys fighting over you? Does it get you off?

    Alicia:
    What are you-

    Jace:
    Don’t play dumb with me! I know what you did. Will told me about your kiss.

    Before Alicia could speak there was a knock on the door. Alicia opens it to find Officer Wendell standing before her flashing his badge.

    Carlos and his Blue Crystal Co-Star Ian Hadley enjoy drinks at the bar section of The Cue Ball. A few of the girls from across the bar had been giving them glances but Carlos was too deep in thought to notice or even care.

    Ian:
    I thought that drinks were supposed to lighten the mood.

    Carlos:
    Sorry man I’m just…confused.

    Ian:
    Let me guess. Relationships?

    Carlos:
    Yeah. Jenny and I went through a really bad time, probably the worst thing that could happen to anyone, and all Jenny can do is leave.

    Ian:
    Maybe she needed sometime to herself.

    Carlos:
    That’s what she told me and I would like to believe that but- She should come back home.

    Ian:
    Did you ever consider taking a break?

    Carlos:
    No. We’ve been through so much before. I love Jenny.

    Ian:
    Whoa dude love is a strong word.

    Carlos:
    Some other chick is trying to be all nice to me.

    Ian:
    You’re lucky. Hopefully it isn’t another actress, those types are crazy. Case in point...C.C.

    Carlos:
    Yeah don’t remind me. I’m only wanting to be this girl’s friend. That’s all.

    Ian:
    Sure. Call me after you guys have gotten drunk and woken up naked next to each other. Then I’ll try to replay this conversation.

    Carlos:
    All I can hope is that Jenny comes back. If not, I don’t know how much more of this I can take!

    Anna Lee was not backing down with her confrontation. Nan looks at her sister and sighs.

    Anna Lee:
    Damn it Nan you better start talking or I swear I’ll let Jenny go. She’ll be like a rat coming out of a cage.

    Nan:
    Fine. I didn’t want you to find out but-

    Nan pauses and Anna Lee notices that Nan is emotionally distraught. It’s the first time she sees sincerity from her sister.

    Nan:
    It’s not Jenny's place to let you know what happened to our sister!

    Anna Lee:
    Just tell me. Whatever it is I’m sure I can take it. Did Tracie get in to some of trouble or what?

    Nan:
    Tracie died.

    Anna Lee was shocked. Her eyes had become slit until tears of denial burst out of them.

    Anna Lee:
    No. You’re lying! Tracie didn’t die.

    Nan:
    Yes she did.

    Anna Lee:
    (angry)
    Did you do it? Did you kill our sister?

    Anna Lee lifts Nan out of her seat and begins to shake her violently. Nan slaps her across the face to get her out of her delirium. Anna Lee looks back at Nan.

    Anna Lee:
    How did it happen then?

    Nan:
    It was an accident or so I was told. Tracie came to the school and she fell for Dylan Colby. Dylan was going out with Carrie Slondsbid but of course you know how stubborn Tracie is…she kept pursuing him.

    Anna Lee:
    And she died for a crush?

    Nan:
    Carrie and Tracie got into a fight near the outskirts cliff. Dylan held onto both of them but- He lost Tracie and she fell to her death.

    Anna Lee:
    Why couldn’t you tell me?

    Nan:
    Because I know how fragile you are. This is why I never wanted you to come here. This place is bad!

    Anna Lee:
    I…I don’t know what to say.

    Nan:
    You just have to continue to help me. We have our visitors and once we use them, life will be better. That’s what we have to focus on.

    Nan gently lifts Anna Lee’s chin to look at her. She wipes away Anna Lee’s tear and hugs her.

    Before Alley opens her door, she finds a note taped to the front of her door. Alley opens it and reads it.

    Alley:
    Let’s get busy?

    Alley opens her door to find John in his boxers surrounded by candles in her dimly lit living room.

    John:
    Surprise baby.

    Alley:
    What is all this?

    John:
    I’ve been so into my work that I thought I could be spontaneous. Maybe chocolates would’ve have been better than breaking into your room but I figured you’d enjoy this more.

    Alley tries smiling but can’t.

    John:
    Okay obviously you’re not in the mood.

    Alley:
    It’s not that. I can be but…I’m just sort of pissed off.

    John blows out some candles.

    John:
    (sarcastic)
    Really? I couldn’t tell. Usually you want to jump my bones when I do something out of the blue for us.

    Alley:
    This was a wonderful gesture though.

    John:
    Who pissed you off?

    Alley:
    Um…Blake told me some big news so brace yourself.

    John:
    Two people I don’t want to talk or think about is Blake and Marissa. Those are my turn offs.

    Alley:
    It’s rarely about Blake and your demon of a sister is in the back of my mind. I found out that Carrie and Dylan are engaged.

    John:
    (caught off guard)
    Oh. That is pretty big.

    Alley:
    Yeah.

    John:
    I’m guessing that you kept thinking of the past.

    Alley:
    Unfortunately. Couldn’t stop thinking about all of the cheating on both sides and the lies.

    John:
    (cheering her up)
    So what? Who the hell gives a damn? Those two deserve each other.

    Alley:
    But-

    John:
    But you have me and I’m ten times better than he is. Now I’m going to remove my boxers and go into your bedroom. I expect you to do the same.

    Alley bites her lip and giggles. John teasingly throws his underwear at Alley and runs to her bedroom.

    Ginny wipes off the counters at The Palace Café. Ava walks in and finds Nate by himself, working on his laptop. She sits across from him.

    Ava:
    We need to talk.

    Nate:
    Move your mouth then. I’m busy anyway, I’ve been focusing on my job with the school board, it’s been helping me to get my mind off of what you’ve done to me these past few weeks.

    Ava:
    I want to explain myself.

    Nate:
    You used to me to get back at your ex. There’s a lot of explanations expected.

    Ava:
    Yes and no.

    Nate:
    Why? Why the hell would you do something like that? Granted I hated that bitch, I didn’t want to be used.

    Ava:
    I like you! That’s the point I was trying to make for her.

    Before Nate could respond, a female professor comes to the table to speak with Ava.

    Professor Strope:
    Ava may I have a word with you.

    Ava:
    I’m sort of in the middle of something here.

    Professor Strope:
    It'll be really quick.

    Ava:
    Okay.

    Professor Strope:
    I have an amazing assignment for you. It would be perfect for the Sociology Volunteer Project.

    Ava:
    Great. What would it be?

    Professor Strope:
    You would be volunteering at a mentally challenged facility. Observing the ways of others who are physically less fortunate. What do you say?

    Ava:
    Sounds great. Sign me up.

    Professor Strope:
    Thanks. I’ll e-mail you more about it. See you in class.

    Ava turns around to face Nate but finds him gone.

    Ava:
    Damn it!

    At The River Teal, Dylan holds onto Carrie’s hand who was making sure to show off her fantastic engagement ring. The two were the center of attention at their very own engagement party. Blake pats Dylan on the shoulder and he smiles to see someone he truly wants to talk to.

    Dylan:
    How’s the best man doing?

    Blake:
    I’m doing great man. How are you holding up?

    Dylan:
    Dude this is freakin’ fantastic! I’m getting married to this lovely thing and all of these people are going to give us gifts. It’s a really cool feeling.

    Blake:
    Yeah, been there done that.
    (acknowledging Marli behind him)
    This is going to be my date, I don’t think you’ve met.

    Marli:
    Hi Marli Calloway. I’ve heard so much about you two.

    Carrie:
    Nice to meet you. Are you new to the school?

    Marli:
    Yes. I’m from Reno.

    Dylan:
    You’re definitely taking a gamble with Blake.

    Marli:
    Oh my god! Look at the size of that rock. It’s just amazing.

    Carrie:
    My man does have good tastes.

    Carrie takes Marli aside so the two could gawk at her ring.

    Dylan:
    Have you seen my mother?

    Blake:
    No, I haven’t. I’m sure hurricane Lana will be huffing and puffing shortly.

    Dylan:
    Yeah. I’m afraid of that.

    Dylan sees his assistant Sean from a distance and notions to speak with him.

    Dylan:
    Excuse me.

    Sean:
    How’s everything going?

    Dylan:
    Everything’s great. You’re really doing an awesome job. I wasn’t sure how you were going to handle the age difference but if you can pull off everything that the school board shoves to an event like this, then you’re a master at work!

    Sean:
    Thank you.

    Dylan:
    I was wondering something though.

    Sean:
    Yes?

    Dylan:
    Did you bring a date? Maybe planning to bring one to the wedding?

    Sean:
    No I came solo. I’m the type of guy who gets so caught up into his work that he doesn’t have time for a relationship.

    Dylan:
    It’s very noble of you to notice something like that.

    Dylan hears Lana laughing loudly from far away.

    Dylan:
    Great. Mama Colby’s here. I’ll introduce you.

    Lana hugs Dylan and gives him a giant kiss on his cheek.

    Lana:
    Oh my little man. You’re not so little anymore. Look who I brought with me.

    Dylan:
    Jason?! It's great to see you!

    Jason:
    I know it's been forever.

    Dylan:
    I didn't think you'd make it.

    Jason:
    Yeah well things in Lexington aren't working out.

    Dylan:
    You weren't involved with the DiMarco's were you?

    Jason tugs at his own ear to change the subject, all he can do is smile.

    Dylan:
    I see. It’s good to see you too mom. Hey let me introduce you to this great guy who pulled together this wonderful event. Get this, he's my very own personal assistant. Sean this my mother, Lana-

    Dylan turns around and finds that Sean has disappeared.

    Lana:
    Hopefully you’re bride doesn’t do that to ya. Where’s this lucky lady at?

    Carrie:
    Right here. Lana’s it’s so good to meet you finally. Jason. Hi!

    Jason:
    Carrie it's been-

    Carrie:
    Forever.

    Dylan:
    That's right you're from the same town. Small world I guess.

    Carrie:
    Not small enough.

    Lana:
    Carrie you sound just as I imagined on the phone.

    Dylan:
    You two talked before?
    (joking)
    Wait how many people in my family do you know outside of our engagement party? I have a brother and two sisters, do you know them too?

    Lana:
    Why yes. She told me all about…the cancer. I wished you would’ve told me but I’m just happy you’re a survivor. Now where the hell can I get a drink at?
    (hollering)
    Bartender!

    Lana exits for a drink and Dylan glares at his bride to be who knew that her big mouth had caught up with her.

    - - -
    Across the room, Blake leans against the bar and takes a swig of his drink. He hears Lana’s infectious laugh.

    Blake:
    Miss Colby, how are you doing?

    Lana:
    My oh my have you grown up.

    Blake:
    Yeah I own the school and everything.

    Lana:
    I thank you for giving my son a nice job.

    Blake:
    He’s done a lot for me and I wanted to reward my best friend. There’s no way that I wouldn’t.

    Lana:
    Maybe you can give something to his mother too. You know the song, when you’re good mama, mama's good to you.

    Lana playfully runs her hand on his cheek.

    Blake:
    It’s very nice to see you again.
    (muttering to himself)
    Mama needs to back off!

    Blake exits to find Marli near the coat section, trying to hide from the others. She’s again on her cell phone.

    Marli:
    I’m trying to do everything I can. I already took him on a vacation, well it was a funeral for rich people, but we were out of town. It’s not my fault he leads a good life! Just get the other one out of town, we both know he’s bad news. How did he know where I was?

    Blake clears his throat and Marli quickly hangs up out of nerves.

    Blake:
    I wasn’t eavesdropping.

    Marli:
    It was a call from back home.

    Blake:
    You seem to be getting a lot of those.

    Marli:
    Yep. Let’s go dance.

    Blake:
    Are you hiding something from me?

    Marli is blindsided by his question.

    Marli:
    Hiding…hiding what?

    Blake:
    You seem so secretive. Whatever it is…why don’t you tell me now or forever hold your peace.

    Marli:
    No Blake. I’m not hiding anything. I’m an open book. Like a fairytale, with a charming prince. I’m going to use the ladies room and when I come back, I want a dance.

    Marli smiles at him and begins to leave with her purse but her cell phone accidentally drops to the ground without Marli’s acknowlegement. Blake picks it up and begins to go through it. He notices the call log, which reads ‘JIM FBI AGENT.’

    Blake:
    Yeah, you’re not hiding anything.

    Bryan answers the doorbell and finds S.R. dressed in a hoodie. He lets him in.

    Bryan:
    Can I offer you a drink?

    S.R.:
    That would be great. Can I have a scotch on the rocks? Please.

    Bryan:
    At least you’re polite. Don’t think for a second that I’m your personal cocktail waiter.

    S.R.
    I’ve dated a few of those before. Waitresses, not dudes. So what is it that you want to know about Hope?

    Bryan:
    She’s not using that name now.

    S.R.:
    Yeah I caught that. Marli something.

    Bryan:
    I want you to tell me everything. How you know her? What you’ve talked about? Anything and everything will be good.

    S.R.:
    She actually pursued me in Reno. Somehow she knew about a gang that I was in. We would scam casinos. I went to jail for it and I learned my lesson.

    Bryan:
    She knew about you going to jail?

    S.R.:
    Yeah. She actually came onto me. Said that bad guys turned her on. I told her all about the gang and getting arrested just so I can make those panties drop to the floor. They did.

    Bryan:
    What else?

    S.R.:
    I’m not telling you anything else until I see some money. Preferably cash!

    Bryan:
    Fine!

    Bryan digs through his wallet and throws five hundred dollars on the table. S.R. smiles and puts it in his pocket.

    S.R.:
    I know you’ll be paying me a lot more after this.

    Bryan:
    Just continue.

    S.R.:
    The last day I saw Hope was when I told her about this guy me and my gang had to rough up. The roughing up turned into us killing him and she saw it all. Then she skipped town.

    Bryan walks over to his couch and picks up a file. S.R. continues to down his drink before pouring himself another one. He hands it to S.R.

    S.R.:
    What’s this? A warrant for my arrest?

    Bryan:
    No. It’s an obituary. Hope Crayno died!

    In the front part of Jenny’s dungeon that Nan had made for her, the main screen kept playing looped episodes of “The Nan World.” Jenny made sure to poke holes in the bathroom. The hole was almost big enough to break through and Jenny's determination wasn't going to let her down.

    Jenny:
    Come on…just a little more.

    With one big thrust of her fist, Jenny breaks through to the other side. She then pulls parts of the walls aside to let herself in or out. What she found was definitely not an exit.

    Jenny:
    What the hell does that crazy bitch have going on here?

    The room was dark but she kept hearing the beeping noises to what turned out to be a ventilation system.

    Jenny:
    Oh my god. I’m not the only one she’s been holding captive here.

    Jenny makes her way up to an almost lifeless body. The person was very familiar but Jenny couldn’t make out who it was. Jenny slowly got closer to the person and their eyes open up.

    Jenny:
    Oh my god…it’s you!

    Carrie was floored when she looked at Dylan who was holding the expensive diamond engagement ring in front of her.

    Carrie:
    Yes…yes Dylan I’ll marry you.

    Dylan:
    I thought you’d say something like that.

    Dylan slides the ring onto her fourth finger. He stands up and romantically kisses her.

    Carrie:
    This is what you’ve been doing behind my back.

    Dylan:
    Yeah I wanted to surprise you.

    Carrie:
    You really did.

    Dylan:
    You know I’ve been down right spontaneous lately because I want to live every day of my life. We’ve been through a lot and anyone who can nurse me back to life, is definitely the one whom I want to give all of my happiness to.

    Carrie:
    Well you did the same for me.

    Dylan:
    You know what’s coming next though?

    Carrie:
    I get to turn into a Bridezilla?

    Dylan:
    (snickering)
    That and the fact that we get to tell the whole school that we’re getting married!

    Carrie:
    I already have a big mouth. Let me handle that.

    Dylan:
    I love you.

    Carrie:
    This ring proves it but I don’t need a diamond to show off what we have. I love you too Dylan and I can’t wait to be your wife.

    Carrie pulls Dylan in for a long kiss while still admiring her new ring.

    Outside of Carrie’s room, a tall man dressed in a dark black business suit, drags Victor’s body into a black limo. Juliana was sitting in the back seat observing her passed out brother.

    Juliana:
    Thank you Vincenzo.

    Vincenzo:
    He should wake up within the next twelve hours, fourteen tops. I didn’t expect the shot to be so loud.

    Vincenzo shuts the door, which signals the driver to drive off.

    Juliana:
    (to Victor)
    You can’t harm yourself anymore. There’s no way I’ll let you see Carrie again. You’re going to be cured of this sick obsession that you have with her.

    Juliana lightly touches Victor’s cold face.

    Juliana:
    When you wake up, we’ll be home, and you’ll never come here again. I won’t allow it! I’m sorry it had to come down to me tranquilizing you but you’ll see it’s for the best.

    Vincenzo clears his throat after overhearing Juliana.

    Juliana:
    (to Vincenzo)
    The family means everything to me. If you judge me, I’ll kill you.

    Vincenzo looks off and ignores her threat but sees in her eye, a gleaming tear, which was brought on from her inflicted family pain.

    Sky was enraged with anger after opening the door to find Nate in bed with Ava. She was practically seeing red.

    Sky:
    (screaming)
    GET OFF HER NOW!

    Nate is shocked and confused when he sees Sky standing in the doorway. Ava slowly gets out of bed to cover herself up with the sheets.

    Ava:
    How does it feel Sky?

    Nate:
    Can someone tell me what’s going on?

    Sky:
    You’re trying to infect my girlfriend! Haven’t we already been down this road before.

    Nate:
    (to Sky)
    Just for your information but she invited me over here.

    Sky:
    Is that true Ava?

    Ava:
    Of course it is.

    Sky:
    Why the hell would you do this to me?

    Ava:
    Oh come off it. I wanted you to see what it was like to be hurt and lied to. Better yet, what’s it like to be used!

    Sky:
    I never used you.

    Ava slaps Sky across the face.

    Ava:
    You’re lying right now! I know about everything. I know that you had my car brakes tampered with so that I’d hit you. Are you seriously that desperate?

    Nate:
    I think I’m going to go.

    Sky:
    That’s a good idea. Too bad you didn’t take the hint a while back.

    Ava:
    He’s not going anywhere because he’s the one that I want. Not you.

    Ava pulls Nate close into her and kisses him passionately. Sky starts hitting Nate and tries pulling Ava off of him but instead is pushed into the wall by Ava.

    Ava:
    I want you to get out or I’ll have you arrested for what you did.

    Sky:
    But…what about all of the good things I did for you? I saved your life and-

    Ava:
    And you made me feel like a criminal just so I can be guilted into being with you. Get out of my life Sky. I don’t care if we pass each other on the street or if we run into each other at the café, we’re not together, and we never will be. It's all because of you!

    Tears were coming out of Sky’s eyes but she looks at Ava and then at Nate. There was nothing she could do, she was found out and caught. Feeling defeated, Sky walks out of Ava’s bedroom. Ava hugs Nate who shoots her a confusing look.

    The next morning, students and professors were passing through the courtyard of the school. Blake walks hand in hand with Marli.

    Blake:
    I actually have some really interesting news.

    Marli:
    Oh yeah? Like what?

    Blake:
    My best friend Dylan is engaged.

    Marli:
    Congrats to him. I don’t think you've introduced us yet.

    Blake:
    I’m sure you will meet him soon. We’ve been invited to the wedding.

    Marli:
    Sounds like fun. I enjoy dressing up if the occasion’s right.

    Someone comes up from behind Blake and Marli and taps on Marli’s shoulder. It startles her a bit.

    S.R.:
    Excuse me?

    Before she could turn around, the voice sent quivers down her spine.

    Blake:
    Can I help you?

    S.R.:
    Hope? Hope Crayno is that you?

    Marli:
    No. I’m sorry you must have me confused with someone else.

    S.R.:
    No way. It’s me, S.R. Reardon!

    Marli:
    I…I don’t know you. Sorry.

    S.R.:
    Cut the crap Hope-

    Blake:
    Look pal she said she doesn’t know you and her name isn’t Hope, it’s Marli.

    S.R.:
    I didn’t tap on your shoulder.

    Blake:
    (to Marli)
    You want me to get security?

    Marli:
    That sounds like a good idea.

    S.R.:
    (backing off)
    Alright maybe I do have you confused. I’ll leave you two alone.

    Blake puts his arms around Marli and they continue to walk.

    Blake:
    Are you okay?

    Marli:
    Yeah I’m fine. That guy was such a creep.

    The couple walks off but Bryan was close by witnessing everything. He smiles and walks up to S.R.

    Bryan:
    I saw the whole thing.

    S.R.
    Then maybe you could’ve heard that I’m leaving them alone. I don’t need any trouble so screw off!

    Bryan:
    Whoa you need to calm down. I’m not your enemy, in fact I could be your best friend.

    S.R.:
    Yeah?

    Bryan:
    Yes. Obviously you know that girl and I need some information about her.

    S.R.:
    What’s in it for me?

    Bryan:
    Lots and lots of money. I can make you a rich man and you might just do the same for me.

    Bryan puts out his hand for a deal shaker and S.R. smiles as the two shake on it.

    Alley walks to John’s room, knowing full well that he wasn’t there but figured that Marissa was. Before knocking on his door, she calls his cell phone. He answers on the second ring.

    John:
    Hey you.

    Alley:
    Hey yourself. What are you up to?

    John:
    Getting doors slammed in my face. I’ve been going to all of these photography places to get a job but after the gallery fiasco, they don’t want to employ Larry Flynt junior.

    Alley:
    I’m sorry to hear that John but you kind of know who to blame for that.

    John:
    Antonio!

    Alley:
    Him and your sister. She was obviously the mastermind behind-

    John:
    I’m in a bad enough mood as is so I don’t want to argue over her. I’ll see you later.

    John hangs up with Alley. Alley tiptoed her way to the front door. She was right about to knock, until she heard Marissa talking to someone. Alley peaks her head into the window to see that she was on the phone, while holding onto baby L.J.

    Marissa:
    I’m not worried about their clientele, I’m worried about my business. If she’s not pulling in the money that I want then she’s cut.

    Alley accidentally trips on a branch which Marissa hears.

    Marissa:
    Let me call you back but damn it if I’m losing money, no one will want to deal with me! I mean no one!

    Marissa opens the front door to investigate but sees that no one’s there.

    Marissa:
    (to L.J.)
    Your aunt’s going crazy but that’s what a business can do to you. Especially when you’re running something like I am.

    Marissa shuts the door and Alley has a big grin on her face.

    Alley:
    Well, well, well. Whatever it is you have going on, I'll for sure expose you.

    At The Palace Café, John tips Ginny who notices that he seems down.

    Ginny:
    What’s wrong?

    John:
    Family and relationship problems. It could be worse, it could be domestic.

    Ginny:
    I’m sure whatever problems you’re having, they’ll be fixed sooner than you know. I’ll get you a refill.

    Ginny notices Tanisha walking in with Agatha.

    Ginny:
    Speaking of problems, I need to take care some of my own. Be right back John.

    Agatha:
    We’re here to discuss with you what terms we feel should be taken to go after ownership.

    Ginny:
    That’s very good and well Agatha but I think I need to talk to Tanisha alone.

    Tanisha:
    (to Agatha)
    Don’t worry Aggie, this place will be ours!

    Agatha:
    It better be because I don’t tolerate shady liars.

    Ginny takes Tanisha aside so that they could talk privately.

    Tanisha:
    I want to make this professional as possible so I will refrain from calling you every name in the book, well except for bitch. Deal?

    Ginny:
    I know this place like the back of my hand. I can do ten times as much as any other employee here. Yet you’re hell bent on revenge. Even after the fact that you got everything you wanted.

    Tanisha:
    Oh now I get it. You’re still jealous over what I have. I do have to say that my long distance relationship with your ex is going very well. His hearing has practically come back to him and he still only has eyes for me. At least that’s because of the heightened senses thing.

    Ginny:
    Maybe I am jealous but if you want the café to go to Agatha just to spite me, then I’m willing to back out on one condition.

    Tanisha:
    Name it.

    Ginny:
    You give up Owen. You break up with him and you break his heart. That way we can truly be together. Not only would you have full ownership of this place, you’ll get rid of me, because I’ll live with Owen and I guarantee we’ll have a happily ever after!

    Ginny pats Tanisha on the shoulder and leaves her to think about her offer.

    Later on in the evening, Nan was in her editing room which was only lit by her computer monitor, watching videos of the past days. One video catches her eye. Jenny almost escaped until she was stopped by Anna Lee. Nan was shocked by what was going on. She smiled when she saw that Carlos was calling her. She pauses the video to answer.

    Nan:
    I was just about to call you.

    Carlos:
    Beat you too it.

    Nan:
    You did.

    Carlos:
    I’ve been studying my lines for Blue Crystal and wanted to know if you maybe wanted to get together.

    Nan:
    You’re asking me out?

    Carlos:
    Don’t look too much into it. I’m still with Jenny. Except, you seem to be the only friend I have around here these days. Other cast members are busy or-

    Nan:
    I understand. Any luck reaching Jenny?

    Carlos:
    I keep calling her but she ignores my calls. We did go through something really serious so it’s understandable that she wants to keep her distance.

    Nan:
    A dinner date sounds great Carlos. I’ll make you dinner over here. Bye.

    Nan hangs up with Carlos and makes sure to have the conversation taped for Jenny’s eyes. Nan looks into the camera to film another part of her torture show.

    Nan:
    What will Jenny say to break Carlos’s heart? Easy. A fake e-mail account with Jenny’s name on it will tell Carlos how she’s moved away. Next on The Nan World.

    Nan turns off a camera when she sees Anna Lee eavesdropping in the doorway. Nan kept focusing on her editing equipment.

    Nan:
    I saw what you did. It was very smart to pull a gun on her. I wouldn’t have blamed you if you had to use it.

    Anna Lee:
    Jenny told me something very interesting.

    Nan:
    Of course she would. She’s desperate to escape.

    Anna Lee:
    Maybe it was a little bit of desperation or trying to survive but it kind of struck a chord with me.

    Nan:
    Just ignore her.

    Anna Lee rushes to her sister and grabs her so that she was facing her.

    Anna Lee:
    She told me that that I needed to demand the truth about Tracie!

    Nan:
    I don’t know what you or that crazy hag are talking about.

    Anna Lee:
    Don’t you lie to me about our family. What happened with Tracie?

    Nan is silent until Anna Lee shakes her.

    Anna Lee:
    You better start talking or I’ll release Jenny and make sure that her boyfriend knows exactly what you did!

    - - -
    Jenny sat on the floor, eating the meal that Anna Lee had prepared for her. She kept watching the flat screen monitor that had replayed daily episodes of ‘The Nan World.’

    Jenny:
    Please…no more!

    Jenny throws her empty plate at the screen, only making a dent.

    Jenny:
    Fine. I give up, you win Nan. I’ll let you have him.

    Jenny slaps herself across the face.

    Jenny:
    I must be going crazy.

    Jenny begins to laugh hysterically.

    Jenny:
    I’m going just as nutso as that psychopath!

    Jenny stands up and looks around the room. She goes into the bathroom area where she starts up a shower. Jenny began to run her head under the water to wake herself up. Once she does, she begins to hear something interesting coming from another room.

    Jenny:
    What the-

    Jenny presses her ear next to the wall and hears what sounds like heavy breathing followed by beeping noises.

    Jenny:
    This could be my escape.

    Jenny returns to the main part of Nan’s lair and grabs her metallic fork. She walks back into the bathroom and ever so quietly begins to pound on the wall. Trying to make a hole on the other side with each stab.

    Will’s apartment complex was throwing yet another party which Will had decided to go to. Except this time it was being thrown in Jace’s room. Jace had already been drinking when he noticed Will. Jace blocks the doorway.

    Jace:
    You’re not invited.

    Will:
    Free country dude.

    Jace:
    You’re not welcome. Take a hint.

    Will:
    Why do you gotta be a dick? I’m here just trying to have a good time and you have to be dickish about it.

    Jace:
    Are you calling me a big dick? That’s what Alicia calls me when I’m in bed with her.

    Jace tries shutting the door in Will’s face until Will overpowers him.i]

    Will:
    I kissed your girlfriend!

    Jace stopped dead in his tracks.

    Jace:
    What did you say?

    Will:
    Alicia and I kissed and it was one of the most amazing kisses ever!

    Jace:
    You son of a bitch!

    Jace turns away from him before punching him in the face. Will retaliated by punching him back. Both guys tried nursing their bloody mouths before going after each other as the other housemates watched. Jace punched Will in the stomach. Will headbutted him and threw him against the wall. The other housemates were too scarred to break it up.

    - - -
    Outside of Jace and Will’s apartment complex, Alicia was on the phone with Rena.

    Rena:
    Did you make your decision?

    Alicia:
    I did. I know which guy I want to be with.

    Rena:
    It’s good to end it and whoever you choose, I’m down with it. I know what I got myself into. We’ll still be friends regardless.

    Alicia:
    Let's talk later when things have cleared.

    Alicia hangs up with Rena. When she opened the door, she heard the commotion going on upstairs. Alicia also heard the smashing of a beer bottle and watched Will falling backwards down the steps unconscious.

    Alicia:
    (screaming)
    WILL!!!

    Alicia looked up and saw Jace breathing heavy as he was shaking his head at her.

    Casting News

    By Matt P.,

    Former pop star turned actor, Joey Murray of the band ATC, has joined the Point Palace roster as S.R. Reardon. His character is connected to the mysterious Marli Calloway (Danica Stewart). Look for Murray to debut in Episode 116 and of course stir up trouble for Marli's future at Point Palace. Series creator Matt Politylo discusses this big front burner plot:

    "There were many versions to what Marli was supposed to be but the revelation to her sole purpose is mind blowing. It's one of those things where you're going to have re-read it out of shock and though it may take awhile to lay it all out, it's definitely worth the wait!"

    Marli was freaked out by her newly unwrapped present. On the floor, was a teddy bear with a basketball uniform but the bear was bloody. She quickly scooped up the present and went back to her room. Marli gets on the phone to her mystery caller.

    Marli:
    (hysterics)
    I…I got something in the mail. It was a gift. A horrific looking teddy bear. I think he knows where I am. The teddy bear is wearing basket ball gear. Just like Tim. He was the star basketball player and he’s dead.

    Caller:
    That’s impossible. We moved you to an area where no one from Reno could find you.

    Marli:
    Well it’s not good enough if I’m getting threatening gifts.

    Marli gets a knock on her door which startles her.

    Marli:
    Someone’s here. I’ll call you back.

    Marli answers the door to find Blake standing in front of her with a smile on his face.

    Blake:
    I couldn’t wait so I thought I’d surprise you.

    Marli:
    You definitely surprised me.

    Blake:
    Are you okay? You seem a little…shaky.

    Marli:
    Not at all. I mean, I'm fine. Just fine.

    Blake looks at her dresser and notices the bloody teddy bear. He begins to examine it.

    Blake:
    What is this?

    Marli:
    I have no idea. I got it in the mail. Seems like I have a stalker.

    Blake:
    I’m sure I have a pretty good idea on who’s behind this.

    Marli:
    You do?

    Blake:
    Yeah. That son of a bitch Daniels! He’s trying to scare you off to get to me.

    Marli:
    I won’t let him. Not in the least!

    Marli leans in and buries her head into Blake’s chest. Blake smiled with warmth because he was able to protect someone again. All Marli could think of was the teddy bear and its macabre message.

    Marli:
    (thoughts)
    If only I could tell you the truth.

    While having a day off from filming, Carlos paces around his room. He calls Jenny’s cell phone again but hears her voice mail and promptly leaves a message.

    Carlos:
    You know what Jenny…I honestly don’t know want to say.

    Carlos hangs up. He throws the phone across the room out of anger and frustration. Carlos gets a knock on his door, he answers it to find Nan with a plate full of cookies.

    Nan:
    May I come in? I baked you these.

    Carlos:
    Sure.

    Nan walks in and at how distraught Carlos is.

    Nan:
    How are you holding up?

    Carlos:
    Not so well. Jenny isn’t answering my calls and we’ve been through so much already. Now you’re back in our lives and I just have a little inkling that all hell will break loose.

    Nan:
    Hopefully you believe me when I tell you that I’m a changed person. I know that I did some bad things in the past but you’re the only person who ever saw that I was pure. You can’t deny that. I’m a better person because of you.

    Carlos:
    That’s really sweet of you to say.

    Nan:
    I’m sure Jenny will come around. It might be a lot for her to know that her mortal enemie is alive but I want her to see the good in me. The good that you always saw.

    Carlos:
    (joking)
    What’s in these cookies? Poison? Sleeping drugs?

    Nan:
    Take a bite and find out.

    Carlos takes a bite of a chocolate chip cookie.

    Carlos:
    You didn’t have to do this. What with you trying to clear your name, I didn’t know how you had time to bake.

    Nan:
    It’s a little secret skill I guess. I need to go but if you want to talk, come find me. I’m always here to listen or to make you food.

    Nan gives Carlos a friendly kiss on his cheek. She stands up and leaves. When she’s fully away from Carlos’s room, Nan pulls out a mini camera that was hanging from her purse.

    Nan:
    See that bitch? Your boyfriend thinks I’m sweet and before you know it, I’ll be giving him tons of sugar!

    Marissa makes lunch for John when he wakes up after partying long and hard with Alley. She filled the plate with sandwiches and poured them Iced Tea.

    Marissa:
    I would say morning sunshine but it’s the afternoon. You must be living the life of a rock star.

    John:
    Ever since you moved in it’s been like a soap opera.

    Marissa:
    Let’s talk about last night. I honestly had nothing to do with it.

    John:
    You should explain this to Alley.

    Marissa:
    Call her over here and I will.

    John:
    No need. She spent the night.

    Alley walks into the kitchen with a long tee shirt that covered her skimpy pink bikini bottom underwear.

    Alley:
    Explain to me what?

    John:
    Marissa was just about to tell us why the picture that I wanted to show was switched to porn. It's funny how the first picture I ever took of Alley turned into something that Larry Flynt photographs!

    Alley:
    That is something that I would love to know too.

    Marissa:
    I found out that Antonio had done it. As John’s manager and sister, we’ve dropped all ties to him. I already have more respectful clients to deal with.

    John:
    Thanks sis. It’s sad that it had to end like that.

    Marissa:
    Yeah.

    John exits to use his bathroom leaving Marissa and Alley alone.

    Marissa:
    You look like a whore right now.

    Alley:
    I believe that Antonio had something to do with it but it was obviously a two person operation.

    Marissa:
    Keep it up. That mouth of yours is going to run your ass out of John’s life.

    Alley:
    Oh no it’s not honey. You came to my school which means you’re on my territory. I’ve dealt with stupider skanks than you but I’m the number one bitch here. Get that through your head that I know this game and there's nothing you can do about it!

    Rena, Alicia, and Jace hang out at The Palace Café. Jace places his arms around Alicia.

    Alicia:
    See there is a place that doesn’t have alcohol.

    Jace:
    Yep. Instead it’s a little thing called caffeine.
    (to Rena)
    Where’s your boy toy?

    Will:
    Right behind you.

    Will sits next to Rena and kisses her cheek.

    Jace:
    Glad you can make it.

    Will:
    Likewise. What were you all talking about before I came?

    Will looks at Alicia who quickly looks away which Rena picks up on.

    Jace:
    Swinging. Alicia and I wanted to see if we could swing with you guys. You know, have group sex.

    Alicia:
    Please excuse Jace’s disgusting sense of humor.

    Rena:
    It’s probably all of the porn he watches.

    Jace:
    In speaking of which, Alicia you want to go and make a private video in my room?

    Alicia rolls her eyes.

    Alicia:
    Bye guys.

    Alicia stands up to leave but before she exits, Rena catches up to her and pulls her aside.

    Alicia:
    What’s up?

    Rena:
    I know.

    Alicia:
    Know what?

    Rena:
    I saw you and Will kiss.

    Alicia:
    That was just a spur of the moment thing. It really meant-

    Rena:
    Look you need to choose who it is you want. It’s not fair to the both of them and it’s not fair to me. I saw the looks and I could feel the tension. I'm not a fool.

    Jace:
    Babe are you coming or what?

    Alicia:
    Give me a second.
    (to Rena)
    Please don’t tell Jace. I promise that I’ll deal with this as soon as possible.

    Alicia exits with Jace. Rena sits down with Will.

    Will:
    What was that all about?

    Rena:
    I just made Alicia realize that she has a decision to make. If you’re lucky, you might just be rid of me after all.

    In Nan’s secret room, the door creaks open and Anna Lee gives her dinner.

    Anna Lee:
    Enjoy. I cooked it myself.

    Jenny:
    Thanks. Can I talk to you for a second? Please just leave the door open.

    Anna Lee:
    You better not run.

    Jenny:
    I won’t. I just wanted to tell you that I was in your position at one time. Your sister used to boss me around.

    Anna Lee:
    Nan does no such thing.

    Jenny:
    Don’t let her do this to you. You seem to be the good Sheridan. Considering what happened to Tracie.

    Anna Lee:
    Tracie? What about Tracie?

    Jenny:
    I think that you should talk to your sister about that but I feel as if…

    Jenny grabs the door open and tries to make a run for it until Anna Lee tackles Jenny to the ground.

    Anna Lee:
    I thought I could trust you but that was a mistake!

    Jenny:
    Let me free. Please!

    Anna Lee:
    NO!

    Anna Lee backhands Jenny across the face. Jenny grabs onto her hair and flips her over. Jenny lunges after her again and both girls knock over a lamp that was next to the living room couch. Anna Lee kicks Jenny in the mouth. Jenny stands up and tries leaving again but Anna Lee grabs her leg to bring her back onto the floor. Anna Lee looks around and finds Nan’s gun. She grabs it and aims it at Jenny.

    Anna Lee:
    You’re going to get back into that room and enjoy that dinner.

    Jenny:
    I’m sorry for what I did. You’re being brainwashed.

    Anna Lee:
    Shut up and march!

    Anna Lee pushes Jenny back into the room and locks the door.

    Anna Lee:
    What do I need to know about Tracie?

    Ava calls Sky who answers her cell phone on the second ring. She was happy that it was Ava calling.

    Sky:
    Hey you. Do you want to come over?

    Ava:
    Actually I was wondering if you want to come over to my place.

    Sky:
    Sure we can do that.

    Ava:
    Great. I’ll leave the door open. You won’t have to knock or anything.

    Sky:
    See you soon babe.

    Ava gets a knock on her door. She answers to find Nate with flowers.

    Ava:
    What are these for?

    Nate:
    These are for you. I was thinking that maybe we can rub them all over our bodies.

    Ava:
    Such a romantic.

    Nate:
    I know you’re making a sexual transition so I’m trying to keep it interesting.

    Ava:
    You really are a nice guy.

    Nate:
    (sarcastic)
    Actually I’m a whore.

    Ava:
    That too. Why don’t you get undressed and I’ll meet you in my bedroom.

    Nate:
    Yes ma’am!

    Nate goes into Ava’s room and strips down to his boxers. Ava sees Sky pull up to her parking lot. Ava then jumps on top of Nate to make out with him passionately. They roll around the bed kissing and groping. Ava then hears the door open. Sky walks in and sees Nate and Ava.

    Sky:
    (shocked)
    What the hell is going on here?

    Carrie was in deep thought about the conversation that Victor had with her earlier. The conversation that she was sure not to tell Dylan about.

    Carrie:
    Maybe it would be best if you just go back to Lexington.

    Victor:
    But I’m still in love with you.

    Carrie:
    We can never be.

    Victor:
    So that makes us a mistake? Everything that we went through, was for nothing? All because of Juliana.

    Carrie:
    I think about you too but I can’t think of you in that way. I’m sorry Victor.

    Carrie ends her flashback when Dylan is standing in front of her.

    Carrie:
    Did you get in contact with your mom?

    Dylan:
    I did. She can’t wait to meet you.

    Carrie:
    Yeah I can’t wait to meet her too.

    Dylan:
    What all did you talk about with her?

    Carrie bites her lip.

    Carrie:
    Nothing really.

    Dylan:
    Can you by chance lend me a hand with something?

    Carrie:
    Sure. What’s do you need?

    Dylan:
    There’s something in the bedroom I needed to move. It’s a two person operation.

    Carrie walks into her bedroom and finds lit candles in the shape of a heart on the floor. In the center was a small black box.

    Dylan:
    Go ahead and open it.

    Carrie obeys. Inside was an engagement ring. When she turns around Dylan is on one knee.

    Dylan:
    Will you marry me?

    - - -
    Outside of Carrie’s room, Victor was spying on the two of them. He saw Dylan proposing to Carrie.

    Victor:
    I have to do something about this.

    Victor reaches into his jacket and takes out his gun. As the moon was shining, a gun shot goes off.

    Everything was a blur when Jenny woke up. She tries desperately to get out of the room that entrapped her. With all her might, she pounds on the door.

    Jenny:
    (screaming)
    OPEN THIS DOOR NAN!

    Jenny looks around at her surroundings. It was a dimly lit, basement like setting, where there were two doors on either side of her. She goes over to the other door and tries opening it but it’s locked too.

    Jenny:
    Damn it!

    There was nothing that she can do. All of a sudden, she sees a flat screen television mounted in the wall. Jenny begins to observe it until it turns on automatically and she sees Nan smiling.

    Nan:
    Welcome to your hell Jenny. I have to say that out of all of my enemies, I’ve missed you the most. As you can see, this will be your new setting. Don’t worry though, I’ll take good care of you. You’ll be fed and you’ll have bathroom privileges when need be.

    Jenny:
    Why are you doing this?

    Nan:
    Because Jenny, I want something that you never deserved. Carlos!

    Jenny:
    I thought you gave that up years ago.

    Nan:
    Of course not. Out of all of the guys I’ve ever wanted, he’s the one who’s touched me the most.

    Jenny:
    Too bad bitch. He’s mine and he will always be mine.

    Nan:
    Now is that anyway to talk to your captor?

    Jenny:
    Let me out of here!

    Nan:
    I don’t think so. That would be like letting a tiger out of its cage. You’re going to be entertained because I’m going to be broadcasting how Carlos and I will be together. I got the idea from some reality shows and maybe a few soap operas but you know me, I always like to put a new twist on things. If you’re lucky, I’ll get you some popcorn and some tissues for your tears. Bye dear!

    Nan shuts off the television screen and turns around to find Anna Lee shocked.

    Anna Lee doesn’t know what to say to her sister. Nan begins to walk away until Anna Lee stops her.

    Anna Lee:
    What is wrong with you?

    Nan:
    Me? What’s wrong with me? That girl ruined my life. She kidnapped me and made me lose my baby.

    Anna Lee:
    Is that the truth?

    Nan:
    I wouldn’t lie about it and you heard her, she didn’t deny anything.

    Anna Lee:
    I can’t believe my sister’s a kidnapper.

    Nan:
    Look, I’m going to throw all the cards out on the table for you. The reason why I need her in there is because the guy I fell in love with, she of course stole from me, so while she’s in there…I’m going to be with him.

    Anna Lee:
    I thought you were with Bryan. He really likes you.

    Nan:
    Don’t even get me started on that. We’re over with.

    Jenny’s cell phone goes off and Nan sees that it’s Carlos calling. Anna Lee grabs it and looks at it like a bomb.

    Anna Lee:
    What do we do with it?

    Nan:
    You just let me handle that. There’s something else I want you to learn about your sis. I’m smart and I always have a plan. Do I have your word that you won’t tell anyone what I did?

    Anna Lee:
    Of course Nan. I’ll even help you out when need be.

    Nan:
    Good. I can’t wait to see you Carlos.

    On the set of “Blue Crystal,” Carlos takes a break from filming and waits to leave a message for Jenny.

    Carlos:
    Hey chica it’s me. I don’t like the way we ended things and I want you to know that, I’m not judging you for what you did. I love you. So when you get this, call me immediately. Bye.

    Carlos hangs up and runs into his co-star Ian Hadley, the casting director Carinia, and the show's director Henry.

    Carinia:
    Carlos we wanted to let you know that we have made a few final decisions for the new Heather recasts.

    Ian:
    Any word yet on C.C.?

    Carlos:
    Last time we heard she’s been locked up for good. That’s where she belongs.

    Henry:
    It doesn’t look good when our main star has a drug problem and it’s blasted all over the gossip pages. How can we forget that she’s also a murderer!

    Carinia:
    Believe me, whoever replaces her, won’t make the same mistake.

    Ian:
    I can’t wait to meet her. Hopefully she’s hot and we can have tons of sex scenes together.

    Carlos:
    (joking)
    Too bad Heather’s character is with Miguel.

    Ian:
    (joking to Henry)
    Can we change that?

    Henry:
    Hey I’m only a director, not a writer! The crew’s moving to Set D. We’ll finish up with Gary and Miguel’s scene in the next hour. Good luck you two.

    Ian:
    Thanks. I’m going to go over lines. If we have some time, we should rehearse. Later man.

    Ian and Henry exit.

    Carinia:
    I know that things might have been bad for you and Jenny but…things will look up.

    Carlos:
    You’re right. We’ve survived much more. I can’t even tell you about this one girl who tried breaking us up. Just like C.C., she’s out of our lives.

    Carinia gives Carlos a sympathetic pat before exiting. He then gets a text message from Jenny.

    Carlos:
    (reading)
    I’ve gone away for a while. I needed some time to myself.
    (depressed)
    Great. What else can go wrong?

    Dylan and Carrie walk down College Avenue, holding hands. Carrie looks into a few windows. When she looks at Dylan, he kisses her on the cheek.

    Carrie:
    I know shopping isn’t your thing.

    Dylan:
    And I know that it’s yours so I’ll deal. Besides, I’m happy to be with you.

    Carrie:
    (joking)
    Maybe you should have cancer more often. Your spirits are really high.

    Dylan:
    It left me with a new outlook on life. I don’t take anything for granted.

    Carrie:
    Good.
    (changing the subject)
    In speaking of taking this for granted, I…I got a call yesterday that kind of bothered me.

    Dylan:
    Really?

    Carrie:
    Yeah. Juliana called me. She was trying to make amends and she told me that Victor’s disappeared.

    Dylan:
    Can you blame him?

    Carrie:
    I said the same exact thing. I just feel bad because even though I was able to get through the situation with you by my side, he doesn’t have anyone.

    Dylan:
    I’m sure Mister Mafioso junior has joined some sort of support group.

    Carrie:
    Even though I know we’ll never be together again…we still have this connection.

    Dylan:
    Forget that because you have an even better love. One that’s not incestuous.

    Dylan winks at her.

    Carrie:
    I just hope he’s okay. I truly wonder where he is though.

    Carrie and Dylan walk right past Victor in disguise. Wearing sun glasses and a black leather jacket, he watches the two of them in love.

    Victor:
    We could’ve had something great. There’s no way that things could ever be fixed between us.

    Through his sun glasses, a tear pours out onto his cheek.

    Victor:
    You’re the only girl who ever made me cry but I’ll be damned if I’m going to allow Juliana to use us.

    Victor wipes his eyes and looks on. He then feels through his coat jacket and touches the end of his handgun.

    Later on in the afternoon, Ava helps Sky take a seat at The Palace Café. Ava takes a sip out of her mug but doesn’t look at Sky. She couldn’t help but think of Nate.

    Sky:
    You know I am getting a lot better.

    Ava:
    That’s good to know.

    Sky:
    How about after this you and I spend some quality alone time together. I can give you a massage, one that I know will make your toes curl.

    Ava:
    (caught off guard)
    Yeah sure whatever you want.

    Sky:
    Honey, you’re not paying attention to me. What’s up?

    Ava:
    I’m just worried about something that’s all.

    Sky:
    Worried about what?

    Ava:
    I didn’t mean to run you over. I seriously don’t know how it happened.

    Sky:
    It’s behind us now Ava. Let’s just move on.

    Nate walks in and sees the two of them together.

    Nate:
    Hi.

    Sky:
    Bye.

    Ava:
    (to Sky)
    Be nice.

    Nate:
    Mind if I join you?

    Sky:
    Actually I do mind. We want to keep this table disease free.

    Nate shoots Ava a fed up look.

    Nate:
    You know I really never would wish bad upon people but I’m kind of happy that someone rammed their car into you Sky.

    Sky:
    Watch your mouth whore!

    Ava:
    Okay you two. Don’t make me separate you.

    Nate:
    (confident)
    There’s something else that I would love for you to know about your girlfriend-

    Ava’s face turns to panic and Nate picks up on it.

    Sky:
    What’s that?

    Ava mouths the words ‘Please don’t tell’ to him.

    Nate:
    You still don’t deserve her a second time! Bye Ava.

    Nate exits and Ava breathes a huge sigh of relief.

    Marissa opens the door to a print shop named Photo Chop. She walks over to the desk and asks for assistance.

    Marissa:
    Yes I’m here to pick up an order. The name is under Snaldry.

    Worker:
    Here you go. Though I have to say that we don’t normally get these kinds of photos.

    Marissa:
    Really? I hope it wasn’t too risqué.

    Work:
    It was definitely on the verge of getting rejected.

    Marissa:
    Well thank you so much. You’re going to make some lucky bidders very happy.

    Marissa pays the worker and hands her the gigantic photograph that she had blown up to a large size. She calls John on his cell phone who’s back in his apartment playing with L.J.

    Marissa:
    What are you up to?

    John:
    Just spending time with my daughter. Later I’m going to take some black and white photos of her. I think I might add it into my gallery collection tonight.

    Marissa:
    Are you nervous about it?

    John:
    Not at all. I’m excited more than anything.

    Marissa:
    It’s going to be your night. I need for you to do me a huge favor though.

    John:
    What’s that?

    Marissa:
    You’re probably going to laugh when you hear this but I think it would be great if you bring Alley as a date.

    John:
    That’s very strange coming from you. It’s already been done.

    Marissa:
    Good. I can’t wait to see the both of you there. Hopefully tonight we all can make amends.

    John:
    I won’t hold my breath. Bye sis.

    John hangs up with Marissa who hails a cab to pick her up.

    Marissa:
    Tonight’s going to be an eye opener!

    In Will’s apartment, he lays alone in his bed, until Lenvy’s ghost lays next to him. He looks away from her.

    Lenvy:
    Don’t give me that look William Henry Pazner.

    Will:
    That’s very mom like.

    Lenvy:
    You can’t use Rena to get to Alicia.

    Will:
    You’re not alive so you can’t tell me what to do.

    Lenvy:
    I’m just warning you. It doesn’t take a dead girl to know that someone’s going to get hurt. Emotionally and knowing this school, probably physically.

    Will:
    Thanks for the concern. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go and break up a couple.

    Lenvy’s ghost disappears, Will opens his door and Alicia is in front of him.

    Alicia:
    Hi.

    Will:
    Hi.

    Alicia:
    Can I talk to you?

    Will:
    Yeah sure. Come on in.

    Alicia walks into his apartment and sits down on his bed.

    Will:
    What’s up? Did your boyfriend tire you out?

    Alicia:
    He’s out with the guys. Look…about the other night at The Cue Ball, I just wanted to make it a point that maybe I shouldn’t have opened up to you.

    Will:
    What? I’m so happy that you did. I learned a lot about you.

    Alicia:
    I know but you’re with Rena and I’m with Jace. I don’t want there to be any awkward tensions between us.

    Will:
    That’s going to be hard. Rena’s your rommie and we all know what Jace is.

    Alicia:
    Then fine. Let me get it all out in the open. I haven’t been with a nice guy like Rena has right now. Call it jealousy or craziness, I don’t know but…I’ve always wanted to just have a passionate kiss that didn’t taste like beer or end up in sex.

    Alicia leans in and tenderly kisses Will who was caught off guard but then went for the moment.

    Alicia:
    We’ll keep that between us and we’ll say that all of the awkward tensions are gone. Friends kiss and you were just helping a friend in need.

    Will was speechless. Outside of his room, Rena had witnessed the kiss through his window. Jace comes up from behind her and scares her.

    Jace:
    What are you watching in your beau’s room?

    Rena:
    Nothing!

    Jace:
    Come on let me see.
    (sarcastic)
    Is he playing with himself in there? Ugh…you two are sick. I thought Alicia and I were kinky but wow. I would tell you to give him some but since I know that it’s an act-

    Rena:
    No pervert! Why don’t you go and find your girlfriend, I think she’s up in your room.

    Jace:
    Wonderful. Maybe you two should try webcams. You can work on your fake love antics and get off at the same time.

    Jace walks up the stairs and into his room. Rena knocks on Will’s door. He quickly answers it.

    Alicia:
    I have to go and see Jace. You two have fun.

    Alicia exits to go to Jace’s room.

    Rena:
    We need to have a talk.

    After yet another date during the evening, Blake opens the door to his town house and Marli walks in. She begins to look around.

    Marli:
    Quite impressive mister president.

    Blake:
    Thanks. It’s not a mansion or anything but it works.

    Marli:
    All that matters is that you’re happy with it.

    Blake:
    I am.

    Marli walks over to pictures on a table. She picks up a framed picture of Blake and London’s wedding photo.

    Marli:
    I didn’t get the hint that you were married. You weren’t wearing a wedding ring when we met.

    Blake:
    That’s because I’m a widower.

    Marli:
    Sorry to hear that. She’s beautiful.

    Blake:
    Thanks. But like I’ve been telling my friends, I need to move on. You’ve been helping me with that.

    Marli leans in closer to Blake and puts her arms around his neck.

    Marli:
    Maybe I can help you a little further. Just as long as you’re ready.

    Blake:
    Yeah. I’m ready.

    Marli kisses Blake passionately. She then unbuttons his dress shirt and lets it slide to the floor. Blake in turn runs his hands up her shirt and takes it off, revealing her bra. Marli guides his hands to the bra strap and the two unclasp it together. Blake takes her hands and puts it on his belt. The two undo his belt together. His pants fall to the ground as does Marli’s. Blake picks up Marli in his arms, continuing to kiss her, and gently places her on his bed. Marli turns around and gets on top of Blake, kissing his chest and then his stomach. The eyes in the back of Blake’s head was rolling as he let out a pleasuring moan.

    In the Point Palace Art Center, John’s art show was underway. The art lovers were dressed up fancy as they observed and commented on the pieces. Alley was next to John drinking champagne.

    John:
    Are you having fun?

    Alley:
    Hold on…
    (finishes her drink)
    Yeah this a blast!
    (to the waiter)
    Another please.

    John:
    Slow down.

    Alley:
    I’ll be good, I promise.

    John:
    I can’t wait for you to see the reveal of my show stopper. You’re going to like it.

    Marissa and Antonio walk up to Alley.

    Marissa:
    Alley you look…drunk.

    Alley smiles at her to ignore her.

    Marissa:
    I’m surprised you had the gull to show up after what happened.

    Alley:
    Funny how you set your brother up to shoot porn for my eyes.

    Marissa:
    Did he accuse you yet of being a porn star yet?

    Alley:
    (confused)
    No? I’m sure you lied to him because that’s what you are, a lying skank.

    Antonio:
    Ladies please.

    Alley:
    Cram it Howie Mandel.

    Antonio:
    Sweetie I thought drinking would make you a more pleasant person.

    Marissa:
    Tony, you know my brother’s taste in photographs are ten times better than his taste in little girls. Don’t let this…
    (pointing to Alley)
    Bother us.

    Alley continues to drink and Marissa with Antonio walks toward the front of the gallery where John gathers people around a red curtained photograph.

    John:
    May I have everyone’s attention please. I want to thank you all for coming. You don’t know much this means to me. My work means a lot but this piece that I want to show you, is something that has always been dear to my heart.

    John tugs at the string and the curtain comes down. Everyone gasps and talks in shock. Alley glances at the picture and faints.

    Alley opens the hotel room door and walks in on John taking pictures of the nude models getting very physical together. John seems reluctant to take the pictures. He stops and looks at Antonio.

    John:
    I can’t do this.

    Antonio:
    Take a break then.

    Alley:
    What the hell is going on?

    John is surprised to find Alley standing in front of him with her mouth dropped.

    John:
    Alley what are you doing here?

    John takes Alley outside of the room to talk with her.

    Alley:
    I can ask you the same thing. I only came to see if you wanted to spend some time together after work but hey if you want to go and make some porn by all means whatever pays the bills.

    Alley begins to walk away until John grabs her arm.

    John:
    Can I at least explain myself?

    Alley:
    What that you’re a porno king pervert?

    John:
    No. I had no idea that this was what I was going to be shooting. This is confusing to me and quite frankly, I can’t do this.

    Alley:
    If it’s worth the money then go ahead. It’s such a shame though, everything for us seems to be falling a part. If it’s not your sister that’s coming between us then it’s your career. John you need to find out what it is you’re doing or what it is that you truly want in life. I’ll see you around.

    John:
    Alley wait-

    Alley quickly leaves the hotel hallway. John pulls out his cell phone and calls Marissa.

    Marissa:
    Hey how’s your photo shoot going?

    John:
    Wonderful. I loved the part when the models started humping each other!

    Marissa:
    What?

    John:
    Yeah. Antonio shoots porn.

    Marissa:
    I didn’t know this. John this is embarrassing. I- I’m sorry.

    John:
    What’s worse is that Alley somehow found out about it.

    Marissa:
    Oh my god. I really didn’t want to have to be the one to tell you this but…I think Alley’s a porn star. Antonio told me that he recognized her before. Maybe that was where it’s from.

    John:
    No she’s not!

    Marissa:
    How did she find out about where the shoot was? I didn’t tell her and you obviously didn’t. It’s funny how she just shows up out of the blue. You caught her in the act. Just think about it. Maybe it’s best that you found out this way.

    John:
    (screaming)
    I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO THINK ANYMORE!
    (calming down)
    These are just accusations.

    Marissa:
    I would never lie to you. She has some sort of past that she didn’t want coming out.

    Marissa hangs up with John as John looks back into the room. Antonio walks back out.

    Antonio:
    Well are you going to continue?

    After a long silent drive back to his apartment, Carlos opens Jenny’s car door to let her out but she is reluctant to have him help her.

    Jenny:
    It’s fine. I can get out myself.

    Carlos turns the lights in the living room and throws his keys down.

    Carlos:
    I think I need some sleep.

    Jenny:
    Don’t you think we need to talk about this?

    Carlos is silent but looks away from her.

    Carlos:
    Of course we need to but I didn’t think it would be so soon.

    Jenny:
    Why because I need time to digest that I lost my rapist’s child?

    Carlos:
    I don’t know how to respond or what to say to you.

    Jenny:
    Let’s move on Jenny or we can try to forget about it chica. Maybe something along the lines of that.

    Carlos:
    You just lost a child. Don’t you have any remorse?

    Jenny:
    Remorse? I didn’t want this baby inside of me.

    Carlos is stunned by what she just told him.

    Carlos:
    Did you-

    Jenny:
    (cracking)
    YES! I wanted an abortion. I didn’t care how. If it was via a pill, falling down a flight of steps, or in my case purposely tripping over something to hurt myself, at least it happened.

    Carlos:
    Okay.

    Jenny:
    I’m not sorry. You can’t blame me for this.

    Carlos:
    You could’ve killed yourself.

    Jenny:
    I know that what happened was a bit rash but how could you honestly raise a child from a man that you hated? A man who tried ripping us a part far worse than C.C. or Nan!

    Carlos:
    Great let’s bring up more of the past.

    Jenny:
    We need a future. The past just keeps hurting us. That’s why I think I want to be alone tonight.

    Carlos:
    Yeah…me too.

    Carlos looks at her for a moment before walking out, leaving her to be alone, something that he didn't want to do.

    The next morning, Ava wakes up next to Nate in her bed. Ava kisses his chest to see if he would wake up. With one eye he does.

    Ava:
    Good morning.

    Nate:
    Good morning to you too.

    Ava:
    Did you have fun last night?

    Nate:
    Having no sex at all was fun. It was very refreshing to just cuddle and spoon.

    Ava:
    Great. Now get out.
    (chuckles)
    I’m just kidding but I do need to get my day started.

    Nate gets out of her bed and walks around in his boxers.

    Nate:
    I’m also surprised that I could keep my pants on.

    Ava:
    Me too!

    All of a sudden there’s a knock on Ava’s door. She puts on a robe and sees who it is. Her smile turns to panic when she finds Sky in her crutches.

    Sky:
    Hi babe.

    Ava:
    Um…hi. What are you doing here?

    Sky makes her way through Ava’s living room. Ava quickly runs to her bedroom and signals for Nate to be quiet. She then shuts the door and gives her attention back to Sky.

    Sky:
    Why are you so jittery?

    Ava:
    No reason, I’m just happy to see you.

    Sky:
    I waited up for you last night. I was kind of disappointed that you didn’t show up.

    Ava:
    Did you call me?

    Sky:
    I did. I left you specific instructions on how to make your way into my bedroom.

    Ava:
    I was so tired that I didn’t even hear the phone ring.

    Sky:
    Shame.

    Ava:
    You know what? I have a great idea. Why don’t we go out for some breakfast. My treat.

    Sky:
    That sounds like a plan. I can wait while you get ready.

    Ava:
    I could never do that to you. We’ll meet up in your room. I have to take a shower anyway and-

    Sky:
    Then we can take on together.

    Sky starts to open her bedroom door but Ava jumps in front of it.

    Ava:
    NO! I think it would be best if we just meet up. Okay hun?

    Sky:
    Do you have a guy in there?

    Ava begins to laugh nervously.

    Sky:
    Of course not. My girl loves one thing and only one thing. I’ll see you soon.

    Sky exits and Ava opens the door to Nate who obviously eavesdropped.

    Nate:
    Wow you’re amazing. First you’re seducing a straight guy and then you’re lying to your lesbian ex which from the sounds of it turns out to still be your current! Back to old habits or are you just trying to have the best of both worlds?

    Blake and Dylan have lunch at the newly popular Azario’s Restaurant. A waiter brings them their drinks.

    Blake:
    You seem like you’ve won the lottery.

    Dylan:
    That’s because I practically have. You know how I wasn’t feeling well, it was because I had cancer.

    Blake:
    Dylan you should have told me.

    Dylan:
    The truth was I didn’t tell anyone but I got the proper surgery necessary and I’m cured.

    Blake:
    I'm really happy for you. I just wish I could've done something for you.

    Dylan:
    I’ll be back into work very soon. I know you’re going to need as much help as possible fighting off Bryan or Nan.

    Blake:
    Nan hasn’t been fighting me lately but Bryan’s a different story. He made me punch him the jaw in front of the other board members.

    Dylan:
    I’m sure they wished they could have done the same thing.

    Blake and Dylan laugh at his joke.

    Blake:
    How’s the love life?

    Dylan:
    Carrie and I are great. What about you? How’s it going after London?

    Blake:
    I’ve finally made my peace that she’s gone. I’ve moved on and I’m dating again but there’s just something about her.

    Dylan:
    When you start having doubts that’s not a good thing.

    Blake:
    She’s nice and she’s hot but she also dated Nate Mavick.

    Dylan:
    Gross. She better get checked then.

    Blake:
    I like her except I feel like she’s keeping secrets from me.

    Dylan:
    All girls do. I’m sure it’s nothing. Enjoy your life because you never know when you can be taken away from it.

    Blake:
    That’s good advice man.

    Dylan:
    Look I don’t want to spoil anything but there’s something big that’s going to be happening very soon. Everyone who means the most to me, will for sure be involved.

    Agatha works hard at The Palace Café alongside Ginny. Tanisha walks in. She smiles at Agatha and smirks at Ginny.

    Ginny:
    You should smile a little more, then you won’t come off as a smug bitch.

    Tanisha:
    That’s wonderful customer friendliness you have there. I’d love to have you get fired.

    Ginny:
    I dare you!

    Tanisha:
    (to Agatha)
    Can you take a break?

    Agatha:
    Sure I can. I can give even give breaks. It’s just the perks of being a manager.

    Tanisha:
    That’s what I came to talk to you about. You remember how I told you that you might be able to follow you dreams?

    Agatha:
    Vaguely.

    Tanisha:
    I know for a fact that this place is up for ownership.

    Agatha:
    You don’t say!

    Tanisha:
    Yeah all you have to do is put a bid in with the school board and The Palace Café could be all yours.

    Agatha:
    Interesting. Ginny never mentioned a thing to me. She knows that’s what I really wanted to do.

    Tanisha:
    She’s a selfish bitch who wants it all for herself.

    Agatha:
    I can’t believe she would do that!

    Tanisha:
    We should team up and go for it. If we put our bids in together we’ll be able to get it.

    Agatha:
    If I get ownership of the café, then what do you get?

    Tanisha:
    Satisfaction. Go after what you really want.

    Tanisha exits. After watching them together Ginny walks over to talk to her.

    Ginny:
    What was that all about?

    Agatha:
    Nothing. She was interested in something that’s all.

    Ginny:
    Honestly that girl is bad news.

    Agatha:
    (uttering under her breath)
    You little liar!

    In Carrie’s apartment, she gets a call on her cell phone. She answers it without seeing who was on the caller ID.

    Carrie:
    Hello?

    Juliana:
    Hey it’s me.

    Carrie:
    Long time no see.

    Juliana:
    Sorry for being so distant. There’s family business that I needed to attend to.

    Carrie:
    Let me guess, someone was trying to tread on your territory in Lexington?

    Juliana:
    Close. There’s a millionaire politician trying to take me down.

    Carrie:
    That’s great to hear.

    Juliana:
    How’ve you been?

    Carrie:
    (sighing)
    Let’s see, I find out that my boyfriend has cancer, and my ex boyfriend’s sister is my mother. It’s been pretty interesting.

    Juliana:
    Is Dylan okay?

    Carrie:
    Yes he’s fine.

    Juliana:
    I called because I wanted to continue a relationship with you.

    Carrie:
    Our relationship is kind of…strange. If you can call it that.

    Juliana:
    Victor ran away.

    Carrie:
    Can you blame him?

    Juliana:
    I’m worried about him.

    Carrie:
    He’s mad for the same reason I am. That you weren’t honest with us.

    Juliana:
    How could have I been honest? I didn’t know that I was pregnant by your father. I thought it was a boyfriend I was seeing but when I gave you up for adoption, I didn’t know that Michael and Mary Ann would take you in. Your dad is a very secretive guy.

    Carrie:
    So when did you find out?

    Juliana:
    You started seeing Victor and I did the research. The adoption agency told me who you were and that was when I figured everything out. I just couldn't say anything.

    Carrie:
    Too bad you couldn’t have told me earlier. Bye mom!

    In Will’s apartment, the house is throwing yet another party, which Will decides to go to with Rena. Before they walk inside, Rena stops him.

    Rena:
    You don’t have to do this if you really don’t want to.

    Will:
    What makes you say that?

    Rena:
    Because I know the truth.

    Will:
    Hey I’m just looking to have a good time. I’m hoping that I can have a good time with you. If I didn’t like you, I wouldn’t be here with you right now.

    Rena:
    That’s just it. You don’t like me. You like Alicia.

    Will shakes his head.

    Will:
    My feelings are changing. You’ll see what I mean.

    Will opens the door and walk in together, hand in hand. Alicia surfs through over numerous party goers to talk to Will and Rena.

    Alicia:
    Hey you guys it’s so good to see you.

    Rena:
    Yeah Will here talked me into going.

    Will:
    It wasn’t hard. I just had to twist her arm a bit.
    (to Rena)
    Can I get you something to drink?

    Rena:
    That would be great.

    Before exiting to the keg, Will looks at Rena and smiles. He then places his hand on the side of her cheek and kisses her. She felt completely off guard but flashes him a warm smile.

    Alicia:
    How are things going between you two? You two are already at the kissing stage, that’s a good a sign.

    Rena:
    It’s too fast to say but I think I like him.

    Alicia:
    That’s completely awesome. He really is a nice guy.

    Rena:
    He sure is.

    As Will pours Rena and himself a drink, Jace comes up next to him.

    Jace:
    That was a cute little stunt you pulled the other night.

    Will:
    I don’t know what you’re talking about.

    Jace:
    Don’t play stupid with me.

    Will:
    That’s actually not so hard. You’re either abusive or drunk which makes it all too easy.

    Jace:
    By the way, I’m not buying you and Rena. That little kiss you two shared was worse acting than you denying how you want my girlfriend.

    Will:
    It’s the real deal my friend.

    Jace:
    I wouldn’t believe you even if you two started doing it on the floor.

    Will:
    Why don’t you go and drink some more. That seems to be the only thing you’re good at. I’m sure it’ll ignite your pathetic paranoia.

    Jace:
    Remember what I told you…buddy ole pal.

    Jace puts his arm around Will’s shoulder.

    Jace:
    Stay the hell away from my girlfriend or else!

    The next evening, Marli waits for Blake on another date at The River Teal. She sits at a bar and orders herself a drink. Someone sits next to her, she thinks it’s Blake, but it turns out to be Bryan.

    Bryan:
    It’s very nice to see you again. Marli right?

    Marli:
    Wish I could say the same. I don’t think that my date would appreciate you being here. It might just start another brawl.

    Bryan:
    That would be fun. I want as many people as possible to know what a hot headed jerk your date really is.

    Marli:
    I think you’re confused about the jerk part. Please excuse me.

    Marli walks away with her drink in hand to avoid him but Bryan steps in front of her.

    Bryan:
    I just want to commend you on what a smart girl you are.

    Marli:
    And why is that?

    Bryan:
    You obviously know how to work your way up to the top.

    Marli:
    Did you say jerk? Maybe you meant pig.

    Bryan:
    We all know what a loser Hammerhead is but if you want to continue to be a loser then go ahead and ruin your life.

    Marli:
    I don’t know you and already I don’t like you.

    Bryan:
    Maybe it’s because I speak the truth dear. Get out while you can because you’ll go from being really smart, to really stupid if you don't!

    Marli:
    (to the bartender)
    Drinks are on him.

    Marli throws her drink in Bryan’s face but before she exits, she sees a plate full of dinner rolls and shoves one in Bryan’s mouth. Bryan spits the roll out and laughs to himself.

    Bryan:
    Looks like I have a new target to get closer to owning Point Palace.

    Jenny walks along the sidewalks of the campus. She looks at a note that she received from Carlos. It reads ‘Meet me at 889 Walden Road. Love, Carlos.’ Her curiosity was killing her. She gets up to a house which she had never seen before. Jenny rings the door bell. The door opens and Nan reveals herself. Jenny is shocked to see her.

    Jenny:
    What?! You’re alive! Huh?

    Nan:
    Surprised to see me?

    Jenny:
    We all thought you were dead!

    Nan:
    Please come in, let me explain a lot to you.

    Jenny reluctantly walks into Nan’s home. After hearing that a guest had arrived, Anna Lee hides behind a wall to eavesdrop.

    Nan:
    It’s very nice to see you. You look good considering. I hope my tricky note didn’t get you lost.

    Jenny:
    Do you know how freeing this school thought they were of you?

    Nan:
    Hey I made a very public return. I know you might have been going through so much in your life to not turn on a news station or pick up a news paper.

    Jenny:
    What do you mean going through so much?

    Nan:
    Let’s take you back Jenny. I know you remember when you convinced Will to run me over via a drunk Blake which resulted in my miscarriage.

    Jenny:
    You deserved everything you got.

    Nan:
    Guess what! When I was, dead, Nick was the one who took care of me while I was in hiding. Nick and I became really close. He told me all about how he had a thing for you and how he always wanted you. A little payment here and next thing you know I hired him to rape you. Oh and that little carbon copy C.C., yeah the reason why she didn’t last was because she was dumb and couldn’t light a candle to me. Had she not gone all coked out and killed him, my doctor puppet would have been doing a lot more evil things to you.

    Jenny:
    (shocked)
    You did this? You hired Nick to rape me? I can’t believe that you hate me that much to do something so vile to me.

    Nan:
    Consider it your karma.

    Anna Lee:
    (whispering)
    How could you do that Nan?

    Jenny:
    You-

    Nan:
    Bitch?

    Jenny:
    I had an abortion recently. Did you know that or were you too busy plotting away at everyone who ever stood up to you? People like me!

    Nan:
    Karma’s a bitch. Just like myself. You took away the one thing that could've brought Blake and I together. I never forgave you for that! That's why I did what I did.

    Jenny:
    I loathe you!

    Nan:
    Bring it on!

    Jenny lunges for Nan’s throat and begins to strangle her. Nan grabs her hair and throws her over a chair. Jenny gets up and throws the chair at Nan who ducks just in the time. Jenny latches on to Nan’s hair and slams her face up against the wall, having a painting fall to the ground. Nan pushes Jenny off of her. Anna Lee catches her to break up the fight.

    Jenny:
    What the hell?

    Anna Lee:
    Nan is all you said really true? You caused this girl to have an abortion?

    Nan:
    I can explain.

    Jenny:
    (confused)
    Tracie?

    Anna Lee:
    No. I’m Anna Lee, Nan’s confused triplet!

    Jenny:
    I’m going to get Carlos and he’s going to arrest you. Both of you.

    Nan:
    The hell you are.
    (to Anna Lee)
    Stop her!

    Anna Lee shakes her head so Nan runs after Jenny who was right about to exit. Nan grabs a ceramic figurine off of her coffee table and hits Jenny in the back of the head, knocking her out. Jenny falls to the ground.

    Anna Lee:
    Why did you do that? You could’ve killed her.

    Nan:
    Just shut up and grab her feet. I’ll explain everything to you if you help me.

    Anna Lee freezes in terror.

    Nan:
    Look this girl has ruined my life. One time she kidnapped me. What goes around, comes around. Now help me.

    Anna Lee and Nan drag Jenny’s body into the dark, empty lair that Nan liked to place her sister in. Once they push her body in, Nan shuts the door and locks it.

    Carlos rushes over to the broken window and sees Jenny lying on top of the cold, white snow. He kept breathing heavier.

    Carlos:
    Oh my god. Agatha I need to call you back. Jenny just got into an accident.

    While running down the stairs, Carlos frantically dials 911. A female operator answers on the first ring.

    Operator:
    911 what’s your emergency?

    Carlos:
    My girlfriend just fell out of a two story window.

    Operator:
    Where are you located caller?

    Carlos:
    I’m at 43 Palace Lane. Please hurry.

    Operator:
    A dispatcher is already on their way. Please stay on the line with us so that I can some more information.

    Carlos gets outside and leans down to pick up Jenny out of the snow. There were shards of broken glass around her and Jenny was unconscious.

    Carlos:
    Yeah…I’m outside with her now. She fell on her back in the snow.

    Operator:
    Can you tell me more about you’re girlfriend’s state?

    Carlos:
    She’s unconscious. She seems to be bleeding.

    Operator:
    I need you to do me a big favor. Move her out of the way of the glass.

    Carlos:
    That’s already been done.

    Operator:
    Good. Now don’t move her anymore. Are the dispatchers there yet?

    Carlos hears the sirens and sees the lights. He breathes easier.

    Carlos:
    Yes they are. Thank you so much.

    Two male paramedics check Jenny’s pulse until putting her on a stretcher and wheeling her into the ambulance. One paramedic wraps Jenny in a blanket.

    EMT #1:
    She’s breathing. We need to get her to the ER immediately.

    Carlos gets into the back of the warm ambulance and looks over Jenny.

    Carlos:
    I know you’re going to be okay Chica.
    (to the EMT)
    When we get to the hospital, I need to see Doctor Vexen. Immediately!

    Nate stands in front of Ava’s apartment door. He looks at a note that he received earlier that evening. It read ‘Walk into my room, Ava.’ Nate crumples up the note but decided to go and see what was up.

    When he opens the door, the room is dimly lit. Nate looks around for Ava but instead finds candles lit through out her living room. Ava stands seductively in the kitchen door frame dressed in sexy black lingerie.

    Ava:
    Thank you for coming.

    Nate:
    That’s what the note said to do but I’d suggest locking the door next time, you don’t know who would be crazy enough to break in here.

    Ava:
    I want no one to say I’m sorry. I want you to just experience something with me.

    Nate:
    Oh yeah? Judging by this romantic get up you have here, I would have thought you were trying to seduce me but that would mean you would have to be straight and I’m fallen one too many times.

    Ava:
    Just shut up and listen to me because I’m only going to say this once. The reason why I wasn’t at the café was because a certain someone was in accident caused by me.

    Nate:
    I’m sorry to hear that.

    Ava:
    Yeah but had the situation been different, I would’ve been there.

    Nate:
    Then what are you waiting for? I already stripped naked for you. Let’s see what you have.

    Ava takes a rose from out of a vase and begins to rub it near her lower abdomen.

    Ava:
    I’m not giving this up so easy to you. Tonight is all about being together in a sensual way.

    Nate:
    Like tantric sex?

    Ava:
    Well it’s not raunchy hardcore get off sex! Just close your eyes.

    Nate:
    I’ve been tricked before by girls wanting me to kinky stuff so I don’t think so.

    Ava:
    You’re ruining the mood. Just trust me.

    Nate sighs hesitantly but does it. Ava walks up to him and slowly begins to blow on his lips. He uses his sense of smell to get a whiff of the minty flavor in her mouth. She then kisses him soft yet sensually. She lifts up his shirt and rubs the rose all around his stomach. His abs quivered as she kissed his stomach.

    Ava:
    Now open your eyes.

    Nate opens his eyes and swallows a lump in his throat.

    Ava:
    See we can have so much fun when it’s not about sex.

    Nate pulls Ava close to him and begins to kiss her passionately. He rips off his shirt and picks her up in his arms. He leads her to her bed where he lays her down gently. Taking a cue from her, Nate runs the upper part of his lip all the way down from her neck to the center of her chest. He then continues to kiss her.

    All of a sudden Ava’s cell phone rang.

    Nate:
    Don’t pick that up! I don’t want to ruin this moment.

    Nate throws the phone across the room. It slides on the phone. The I.D. says ‘Sky Calling.’ In Sky’s room, she sits in her bed, and waits to leave Ava a message.

    Sky:
    Hey it’s me. I’m kind of lonely at the moment and I really want to see you. So when you get this just hurry on over to my place. It’s good to know that your brakes were fixed and you’re free to drive over here. I’ll leave my door open for you. It doesn’t matter how late it is. I just really want to see you. Bye.

    Sky smiles as she hangs up the phone.

    Sky:
    Looks like my plan for vulnerability is working. I finally got my girl back and no one will take her away from me!

    The next day, Anna Lee makes herself some breakfast. Her toast pops up and with a quick swift of a butter knife, she jabs it onto her plate. All of a sudden, there’s a knock at the door.

    Anna Lee:
    (calling out)
    Nan? Are you going to get that? NAN?! Okay then you can’t blame me for being polite.

    Anna Lee opens it to find Bryan standing before her with a smile on his face.

    Bryan:
    Can I come in?

    Anna Lee:
    What’s wrong with your face?

    Bryan:
    I got into a public scuffle with Hammerhead. It was great. Lanoi and Benjamin are truly reconsidering who they have in office.

    Anna Lee:
    Um…okay.

    Bryan:
    What’s with you today? You seem so flighty.

    Anna Lee:
    Nothing. So is that why you came by? To show off your bruises?

    Bryan:
    That and because I was thinking about you and it made me horny.

    Anna Lee practically chokes on her food.

    Anna Lee:
    Excuse me?

    Bryan:
    Come on. Why don’t you give me what we both want.

    Bryan forcefully grabs Anna Lee and begins to kiss her. Anna Lee pulls away and runs to the kitchen cabinet where Nan kept her gun. She grabs it and points it at Bryan. Bryan puts his hands up in the air.

    Bryan:
    What the hell is wrong with you?

    Nan comes storming in with the latest issue of the Point Palace Inquiry.

    Nan:
    What the hell were you thinking? I thought I told-

    Nan notices that Anna Lee has Bryan held at gun point. She rushes over to her and grabs the gun out of her hand.

    Nan:
    This is not a toy!

    Bryan:
    (confused)
    There’s two of you?

    Nan:
    Bryan let me introduce to you my sister Anna Lee. This is Bryan Daniels.

    Bryan:
    (embarrassed)
    I’m so sorry I thought you were Nan!

    Anna Lee:
    It’s okay pervert.

    Bryan:
    (to Nan)
    Why didn’t you tell me your sister was in town?

    Nan:
    Because she doesn’t exist. I need you keep her a secret.

    Anna Lee:
    Wait a minute, I have a message for you.

    Bryan:
    Yeah?

    Anna Lee:
    Some photographer freak told me to tell you that you owe him money or he’ll expose you.

    Nan throws the paper onto the table with the picture of Anna Lee slapping Mark front and center.

    Nan:
    Does that explain why you’re slapping the crap out of him?

    Anna Lee:
    Hey he insulted me. I mean you. I wasn’t going to allow him to sully our family name. You’re a great person Nan. I mean you do have your little tiffs but deep down inside, I truly love you. He was saying some pretty awful stuff. I think he compared you to Hitler.

    Nan:
    That’s very sweet and very untrue.
    (to Bryan)
    We need to talk.

    Bryan:
    Your sister obviously doesn’t know the real you.

    Nan:
    And that’s why I don’t want anyone know that she’s related to me. Can you imagine what would happen if Blake got wind of this? He would torture the poor girl. Anna Lee is fragile. I won’t let anyone break her so that’s why I don’t want you or anyone else knowing that she’s here! I can’t imagine what would happen if she found out who I really am.

    Bryan:
    What the hell do you want me to do about it?

    Nan:
    I want you to pay off your little reporter friend and leave me be. This relationship can only go so far!

    Carrie helps Dylan back into his room after spending a few days from the hospital. Dylan is in excellent shape and when he looks around, all he can do is smile.

    Carrie:
    You sure seem happy.

    Dylan:
    That’s because I am.

    Carrie:
    It was a miracle that the surgery was such a success. I’ll admit that I had my doubts.

    Dylan:
    Me too but the good news is that my cancer is like the chicken pox and only the unfortunate ones get it once. At least that’s what Rebecca told me.

    Carrie:
    She would know. She is the medical expert after all. Listen why don’t you just sit back and relax. I’ll go and order us something from Azario’s.

    Dylan:
    I don’t want to relax!

    Carrie:
    (confused)
    What? You just went through surgery. You need to recover.

    Dylan:
    Carrie I just beat cancer! Do you know how good that feels? I…I want to shout it on top of the world!

    Dylan runs to his window to open it.

    Dylan:
    (hollering)
    YOU HEAR THAT? I BEAT CANCER! AND I’M GOING TO DO MY GIRLFRIEND TO CELEBRATE!

    Carrie rushes to the window to shut it and sees people who were walking to class actually heart him.

    Dylan:
    Seriously Carrie. I have a new outlook on life. I’m cured!

    Alley walks up to John’s door and knocks on it, hoping that she would find John. Instead she finds Marissa holding baby L.J.

    Marissa:
    Can I help you?

    Alley:
    I’m here to see John.

    Marissa:
    So sorry that’s not happening.

    Alley:
    Excuse me?

    Marissa:
    Yeah John’s in class and then he’s busy filming all evening. I don’t think he’ll have time to see you. Buh bye!

    Marissa tries shutting the door in Alley’s face but Alley stops her and walks in anyway.

    Marissa:
    Last time I checked John kicked you out.

    Alley:
    Don’t be ridiculous. I just need to grab a few things out of John’s bedroom.

    Marissa:
    Fine. Make it quick and when I get back I’ll be happy to find you gone. Forever would be great for me.

    Alley smirks at Marissa who gets a phone call on her cell.

    Marissa:
    Yes. He has a really big photo shoot at eight o’clock. It’s at The Palace Hotel, room 445 I believe. Sounds good.

    Alley grabs a few books out of John’s room and quickly runs out knowing full well she was going to see John later tonight. Marissa gets off the phone and looks at her baby niece.

    Marissa:
    See what we just did baby doll? We just set up Alley because she’s a dumb dumb.

    Blake walks over to Marli’s room to invite her for a lunch date. He gets a call from Dylan.

    Blake:
    Tomorrow? Yeah that sounds good, we’ll get together then. Bye Dylan.

    Blake hangs up but before he knocks on her door he can hear her talking on the phone.

    Marli:
    You can hardly see me. I tried shielding my hands up from that jerk off. It’s not my fault that he’s a big wig here. You can’t always tell me what to do. What happened was out of control. In speaking of control, I don’t care how powerful you are, you can’t always control me. Bye!

    Marli hangs up and opens the door. She is startled when she sees Blake.

    Blake:
    Hey.

    Marli:
    You scared me.

    Blake:
    Sorry. I was wondering if you wanted to go to an impromptu lunch. I can’t guarantee if some sort of brawl will break out.

    Marli:
    Yeah that would be great.

    Blake:
    Who were you talking to on the phone?

    Marli:
    I’m sorry?

    Blake:
    It seems like you were screaming at someone on the phone. I wasn’t eavesdropping-

    Marli:
    It was no one.

    Blake:
    Sure didn’t seem like no one.

    Marli:
    Just some stuff is going on back home. That’s all.

    Blake:
    You know that I’m here for you. Don’t be afraid to talk to me.

    Marli:
    Thank you but honestly it’s nothing you have to worry about. I just have to grab my jacket and we can go.

    Marli goes into her bedroom to retrieve her jacket.

    Blake;
    How can I not worry when it involves me?

    During the early evening, Will sits alone at the bar of The Cue Ball. He notices Alicia by herself playing a game of pool. He waves to her and she walks over to him.

    Will:
    Can I buy you a drink?

    Alicia:
    (to the bartender)
    Fosters please.

    Will:
    I never understood why the can was so big.

    Alicia:
    Because we’re Aussies and we know how to drink. That drink definitely reminds me of home and all of my neighbours.

    The bartender hands her a can of Fosters. She begins to down it.

    Will:
    Slow down. Are you trying to match your boyfriend?

    Alicia:
    There’s no way that I could. He’d have two kegs to my five drinks.

    Will:
    Fun.

    Alicia:
    Look I want to let you know that I feel really bad about the way he reacted the other night. Rena really does like you and it wasn’t Jace’s place to accuse you like that.

    Will:
    She’s a sweet girl.

    Alicia:
    Sweetness. That’s honestly what I’m longing for.

    Alicia takes another swig and finishes her drink. She lets out a small belch which Will thought was cute.

    Alicia:
    Sorry.

    Will:
    Quite alright. Maybe I’m sticking my nose where it shouldn’t be but…if things are so bad with Jace, why don’t you just move on?

    Alicia:
    Because. I feel as if I have no choice when it comes to him. I just- I feel like I need to save him before he self destructs. Honestly though, you and Rena are going to be a cute couple. You’re a great guy for listening.

    Will begins to blush. They look at each other and for a moment feel the attraction. Will begins to lean in for a kiss until Jace puts his hand on Will’s shoulder. Will turns around to find Jace with a beer in his hand.

    Jace:
    Thanks for saving my seat pal.

    Will:
    Actually I was here first.

    Alicia:
    Settle down boys.

    Jace:
    You can leave me and my girlfriend be. Where’s your girl at?

    Will:
    I don’t know.

    Jace:
    Go find her then.

    Alicia:
    Jace stop being a prick. Are you drunk again?

    Jace:
    Maybe.

    Will accidentally on purpose spills his drink on Jace.

    Will:
    Look at that. You truly are a sloppy drunk.

    Jace tries to go after Will but is stopped by Alicia. Will just walks away with a smile on his face.

    In Jenny’s room, she is resting, as is Carlos. Dr. Vexen taps Carlos on the shoulder to wake him up.

    Dr. Vexen:
    I need to speak with you outside.

    Carlos and Dr. Vexen walk out of the room.

    Carlos:
    What’s going on with Jenny?

    Dr. Vexen:
    She’s going to be fine. She just suffered a few back pains but thankfully the snow really helped the fall.

    Carlos:
    Akim that’s not why I called you down here.

    Dr. Vexen:
    I got that report from her MRI doctor. They told me that she should be released very soon.

    Carlos:
    I know that Jenny’s health is fine but if I wanted to find out more information I would have gone to the nurse’s station or made my own assessment. I used to work here and study in a medical field.

    Dr. Vexen:
    Are you done venting?

    Carlos lets out a deep breath.

    Carlos:
    Sorry for snapping.

    Dr. Vexen:
    It’s okay but yes I ran a few tests to see if she’s still pregnant.

    Carlos:
    Well does Jenny still have the baby?

    In Room 445 of The Palace Hotel, lights were being set up for the photo shoot. John loads film for his camera. Antonio walks in with two muscular male models and one fake breasted trim blond who were wearing white robes.

    John:
    Are these my subjects?

    Antonio:
    Yes they are. You’re going to have a ball.

    John:
    You never really told me what you're selling. What kind of look do you want?

    Antonio:
    We're selling sex. I’m venturing in a new line of DVD’s.

    John:
    Really? That’s so cool.

    Antonio:
    Yeah and we’re just going to film some action shots.

    John:
    Great. Are we doing this one model at a time?

    Antonio notions for the models to get on the bed. They all disrobe and are wearing nothing but their birthday suits. John’s mouth drops. The female model begins to kiss one of the male models as the other caresses her thigh.

    Antonio:
    Go on. Start snapping away. Time is money!

    Outside of the room Alley contemplates opening the door.

    Alley:
    I need to see you John. You have to know my side of the story!

    Police sirens and an ambulance were called to Sky’s apartment. Ava’s car only had a minor dent near the trunk when she had hit a metallic recycle bin. Unfortunately that wasn’t the only thing that she hit. In Sky’s attempt to stop her from hitting an oncoming car, Sky had jumped in the back to try to stop the vehicle from moving, her attempt was unsuccessful.

    Minutes later, Sky was rushed to the Cody Medical Hospital when her tumble had left her unconscious. Ava felt guilty but had no idea why her car wasn’t working properly. Ava thought to herself, she knew that she pumped her brakes, but why weren’t they working properly?

    She then remembered that she was supposed to meet with Nate as she was planning on doing before the accident. Ava gives him a call on his cell phone after waiting patiently in front of the ER. Nate was in his hotel room, drinking a beer, and watching television. He answers on the third ring.

    Nate:
    Yeah?

    Ava:
    Hey I know you told me you wanted to see me-

    Nate:
    I understand.

    Ava:
    No you don’t. The reason why I was late was because something bad happened.

    Nate:
    Something good must have happened. You obviously came to your senses and realized who you really want. I’m not the type to wait around so it’s good that we’re being honest with each other.

    Ava:
    But…

    Nate:
    Ava I’m tired of playing games. You obviously made your decision and it’s not me.

    Ava:
    That’s not it! Sky got into-

    She heard the click on the other end and knew that he hung up with her. Ava moaned in frustration. A nurse had come out to talk to her.

    Ava:
    Is she okay?

    Nurse:
    She’s doing fine. Just some minor cuts and bruises.

    Ava:
    Am I allowed to see her?

    Nurse:
    Yeah.

    The nurse leads Ava into Sky’s room. Sky’s face was a little bit bruised and had some band aids on her face. She smiles when she sees her.

    Sky:
    Hey you.

    Ava:
    Hi. How are you feeling?

    Sky:
    I feel like I just got hit with a car.

    Ava:
    I’m so glad that you’re okay.

    Sky:
    Me too.

    Ava:
    I honestly don’t know what happened. The brakes in my car went dead and I couldn’t stop.

    Sky:
    (lying)
    That sounds freaky. I was only trying to stop you to tell you thank you for that wonderful kiss.

    Ava froze with fear knowing that Sky was getting the wrong impression.

    Ava:
    It was…

    Sky:
    Yeah?

    Ava looks away from her and smiles.

    Ava:
    It was nice.

    Feeling really bad, Sky held onto Ava’s hand. Ava couldn’t break up with her a second time, especially not after the incident that just took place.

    In Alicia’s room, Jace’s angry look could have burned holes into Will’s retnas, instead both guys stood their ground.

    Jace:
    I asked you a question.

    Will:
    What do you care?

    Jace:
    Wait you actually have the balls to ask me why I have a right to know the reason you’re giving my girlfriend flowers?

    Will:
    Look. Out of everyone in our apartment, I trust you the most.

    Jace:
    That’s still not the answer I'm searching for dude.

    Will:
    I…

    Before Will could answer, Alicia comes up from behind Jace and smiles when she sees Will.

    Alicia:
    What’s going on boys?

    Jace:
    It seems Will here has a little Valentines Day gift for you.

    Alicia:
    Really? That’s awesome because you know Jace didn’t get me anything.

    Jace:
    Yet. She’ll be getting a big package.

    Alicia playfully hits Jace’s arm.

    Jace:
    So Will why don’t you give those flowers to Alicia. That’s obviously what you came to do.

    Will:
    They’re not for her!

    Jace:
    What?

    Alicia:
    Then who are they for?

    Will:
    They were for Rena but the surprise is obviously ruined and the fact that I got the bedrooms confused isn’t helping either.

    Alicia:
    I think she’s here actually. Let me get her for you.

    Alicia exits, leaving both guys alone. Will has a smirk on his face but it was the opposite for Jace.

    Jace:
    You think you’re so smart don’t you?

    Will:
    Boy Jace you are just full of questions tonight.

    Jace:
    I’m going to find out if you’re lying or not.

    Will:
    Okay you go do that. Maybe we could have a big house meeting about it.

    Jace:
    Very cute.

    Alicia and Rena walk back into Alicia’s bedroom. Rena’s eyes light up when she sees the flowers.

    Alicia:
    I explained to her the mishap.

    Rena:
    These are for me?

    Will:
    Yeah. I had to juke you out when you opened the door so surprise!

    Rena:
    Thank you so much.

    Will:
    You’re welcome.

    Rena takes the flowers and kisses Will’s cheek. Alicia takes Jace’s hand and they begin to leave.

    Rena:
    Where are you two going?

    Alicia:
    We’re going to complete our Valentine’s Day, Jace is too cheap to buy me something so instead he makes it up with sex.

    Jace:
    Basically. Have fun you two.

    Will:
    Maybe we could go on a double date sometime Jace?

    Jace smirks at Will’s comment as he exits with Alicia. Rena looks at Will with suspicious eyes.

    Rena:
    You're a fast thinker.

    Will:
    Yeah well…

    Rena:
    You’re also a liar.

    Will:
    Oh yeah? You came up with this in the matter of minutes?

    Rena:
    I know for a fact that these roses weren’t meant for me. I’m not stupid but thank you for the lying gesture.

    Will exits Alicia’s apartment and slides against the wall.

    Will:
    Don’t mention it.

    Upon her escape, Anna Lee walks at a brisk pace down the streets of the university. She loved the college atmosphere. Anna Lee then makes her way into The Palace Café. There were so many things she wanted to try off the menu but before the attendant could take her order, Mark taps on her shoulder.

    Mark:
    You’re with Bryan Daniels right?

    Anna Lee:
    Excuse me?

    Mark:
    Listen you don’t have to play coy with me.

    Anna Lee:
    Um…I don’t know what you’re talking about.

    Mark:
    You can put your guard down. We could go somewhere private if you want.

    Anna Lee:
    No here’s fine. This is such a cool place. Have you tried the Hinsu Ginsu Mocha?

    Mark:
    I don't care about that. I want you to relay a message to Bryan for me.

    Anna Lee:
    Sure.

    Mark:
    Tell him that I said that my offer has been doubled and be better pay it if he doesn’t want everyone to know the deal we made.

    Anna Lee:
    (relaying)
    Deal doubled got it. Wait a minute! Isn’t that extortion?

    Mark:
    You of all people should know how that games work. Just give Daniels the message.

    Anna Lee:
    What exactly have I done?

    Mark:
    Oh honey you have a bigger wrap sheet then Hitler himself.

    Anna Lee:
    (shocked)
    How dare you!

    Anna Lee slaps Mark across the face.

    Mark:
    What the hell’s your problem you psychopath?

    Anna Lee:
    I’m not going to let you stand there and insult me. I am a great person!

    Mark:
    Whatever helps you sleep at night.

    At the other end of a table, Leon who always had his camera handy, took a picture of Nan slapping Mark.

    Leon:
    I know that Blake is going to love this.

    - - -
    In Nan’s room, since Bryan had left, she knew that it was time to let her sister out. The door was shut but all was quiet.

    Nan:
    I know that you might not like it in there but I just needed some alone time.

    Nan begins to open the door but stops.

    Nan:
    Seriously sis, I’m sorry for what I did. I don’t apologize to anyone ever!

    Nan opens the door to find no one in it. Nan frantically looks around and can’t find her triplet.

    Nan:
    No she didn’t!

    Nan slams the door shut out of frustration and looks around the living room.

    Nan:
    (hollering)
    Anna Lee? Where are you? ANNA?!

    No one responds. Nan looks around to find Anna Lee’s belongings missing, including the cell phone she left on the couch.

    Nan:
    Damn it. She did.

    Anna Lee gets a call on her cell phone that she grabbed before leaving. It was Nan who wasn’t happy.

    Nan:
    (screaming)
    WHERE IN THE HELL ARE YOU?

    Anna Lee:
    I’m at the Café. These drinks are amazing by the way. I should come here more often.

    Nan:
    Get your ass back over here right this instant so help me god if anyone notices you, I’ll kill you myself. Blood is thicker than water!

    John comes back to his room to find it a total mess. There were shards of glass everywhere with roses spread all over the floor. He finds Alley holding herself while sitting on the couch.

    John:
    What happened here?

    Alley:
    Your sister did this. She pissed me off and next thing I know, Marissa threw your flowers at me and trashed the place.

    John:
    Is she here?

    Alley:
    She’s in her room.

    John:
    (hollering)
    Marissa! Get out here now!

    Marissa opens the door with a smile on her face. It turns to shock when she looks around.

    Marissa:
    What happened here? Alley if you were that angry maybe you could’ve punched a pillow or something.

    Alley:
    Oh you really are a piece of work. The only thing I would love to punch is your conniving face!

    John:
    Alley said that you did this.

    Marissa:
    She’s lying John. Why would I trash this place? What could I gain from that? You’ve been nothing but nice to me by letting me stay here and I’m just appalled that such a thing was suggested.

    Alley:
    Oh my god! I can’t believe this happening.

    John:
    I don’t even know what happened so could someone fill me in.

    Marissa:
    Gladly. When you were gone, Alley slapped me and she started breaking things. It was like hurricane Alley.

    Alley:
    Yeah I’ll admit to hitting the slut but I draw the line when I’m called a liar.

    John:
    Why can’t you two just get along? Please that’s all I ask.

    Marissa:
    I tried John but your girlfriend is just too much to handle. Alley might be a danger to everyone in this apartment. Let alone your daughter.

    Alley jumps over the couch and lunges for Marissa with swinging arms. Marissa tried shielding herself from Alley. John quickly grabs Alley who’s still trying to attack her.

    John:
    Calm down!

    Marissa:
    See what I mean, the girl’s crazy! She’s one card short of a full deck.

    John:
    Marissa let me handle it. Just go and check on L.J.

    Marissa exits. John looks off to the side out of frustration. Marissa smiles at Alley and sticks her tongue out while flicking her off.

    Alley:
    You’re lucky you’re brother’s here!

    Alley runs after Marissa again but John stops her.

    John:
    Hey! Quit it!

    Alley:
    She lied about everything. I was just enjoying something you gave me and she ruined it. Just like she’s ruining this relationship and my life.

    John:
    I wasn’t here and I don’t know who to believe but I think it would be best if you just go.

    Alley:
    (shocked)
    You’re kicking me out?

    John:
    Just for the night. I think you should just go back to your room. You two need to be separated and I need some alone time.

    Alley:
    But-

    John:
    Please Alley, we’ll talk tomorrow.

    Alley exits John’s room. The door slam hurt her inside. She turns around looks back at John’s room. Tears came out of her eyes.

    Alley:
    You won’t get away with this you bitch!

    The next afternoon, after all of the Valentine’s Day messes, Blake and Marli enjoy a nice lunch at Azario’s Restaurant.

    Marli:
    This place is nice. I swear if you keep taking me out I’m going to gain weight.

    Blake:
    I know right. I’m just happy I can afford places like these. Last night was fun.

    Marli:
    It truly was romantic. Sorry about the way I acted with that photographer. I’m just not used to all this attention so that’s why I kind of freaked.

    Blake:
    The guy was a prick. I would’ve reacted the same way.

    Marli smiles at him for understanding her.

    Blake:
    How’s Point Palace treating you aside from being badgered by stupid reporters?

    Marli:
    Great. I really like it here. It was actually not that bad of a change because someone I kind of, sort of, dated works at the school.

    Blake:
    (curious)
    Really? Who’s that?

    Marli:
    You might know him. Nate Mavick.

    Blake nearly choked on his drink after hearing the name.

    Blake:
    Nate really? That’s…interesting. Yeah Nate and I go way back. That’s…yeah that’s…something else.

    Marli:
    But I’m glad that I met you. You’ve showed so many good things about Point Palace.

    Bryan walks out with Lanoi and Benjamin. All of them notice Blake and Marli.

    Bryan:
    It’s so good to see you again Blake.

    Blake:
    Wish I could say the same. Benjamin, Lanoi.

    Lanoi:
    Can’t wait for the next meeting it should be interesting.

    Benjamin:
    I agree. Who’s this lovely lady?

    Bryan:
    Yes we’re all dying to know.

    Marli:
    My name’s Marli Calloway. I’m new to this school.

    Lanoi:
    My name is Lanoi Dickson, this is Benjamin Cliffside, and Bryan Daniels. Nice to meet you.

    Marli:
    Likewise.

    Benjamin:
    Thank you for lunch Bryan.

    Benjamin escorts Lanoi to the exit but Bryan doesn’t go anywhere.

    Bryan:
    We got out of everything. The charges and all of your lies. There’s nothing that you can do to us. We’re practically unstoppable.

    Blake:
    Shut up!

    Bryan:
    Did you hear me Hammerhead? I said that your ex and I are running [!@#$%^&*]. There’s nothing you can do about it.

    Blake stands up and punches Bryan in the face. Bryan falls back into another table. Bryan stands back up and punches Blake back. Blake falls onto a chair. Blake gets up and the two begin to struggle. Benjamin runs over and breaks up the fight.

    Benjamin:
    Break it up you two!

    Both guys stop.

    Bryan:
    Did you see what our dear president just did? He has some anger issues that he needs resolved. Take a good look at who’s running this school!

    Bryan and Benjamin exit. Blake just kept shaking his head while Marli was consoling his wounds.

    Outside of the Emergency Room at Cody Medical Hospital, Dylan was right about to go under for his surgery. He lies on a hospital bed, covered with hospital sheets, and a hospital cap on his head. Before he went in Carrie held on to his hand.

    Carrie:
    You can do this. Once you wake up, you’ll be fine, and hopefully this will all be over.

    Dylan:
    I can only hope.

    Carrie:
    You’re doing the right thing. That’s all you can really think about.

    Dylan:
    I need to tell you something.

    Carrie:
    Yeah?

    Dylan:
    I’m scared. I’m just nervous. What if something happens? What if something goes wrong? I…I just don’t know.

    Carrie lightly smiles. She takes his hand and kisses it.

    Carrie:
    You’re in great hands. You’ll be just fine. There’s nothing to be scared about.

    Dylan:
    I love you.

    Carrie:
    I know because I love you too.

    Carrie leans in and kisses him. Rebecca walks out in her surgical gear.

    Rebecca:
    They’re ready for you now Dylan.

    Dylan:
    Let’s do this. Let’s fight my cancer!

    Rebecca wheels Dylan inside of the main part of the ER. Carrie stood outside of the closed doors and sat down. She folds her hands to pray.

    Carrie:
    Please god…please let everything be okay with Dylan. That’s all I ask.

    Later in the evening, Carlos walks into Jenny’s room to check on her. After taking a long shower, Jenny combs her hair and looks into the mirror. She sees Nick standing before her holding their child and laughing.

    Jenny:
    NO! GET OUT OF MY HEAD. NO!

    Carlos rushes into the room to see what’s wrong.

    Carlos:
    Chica what’s going on?

    Jenny:
    I saw him. He was holding our baby. This is upsetting me way too much.

    Carlos:
    Okay. We just have to deal with this. Maybe I can raise it as my own. We can pretend that none of this ever happened.

    Jenny:
    Pretend? I can’t pretend that this child I’m carrying belongs to the guy who raped me. I would just…see Nick every time I looked at it. If I looked into it's eyes, I'd see Nick's drunk eyes when he was standing on top of me, right about to do what he did.

    Carlos:
    I know but…

    Jenny:
    It’s pretty obvious what I need to do.

    Carlos:
    Jenny that’s a pretty big decision.

    Jenny:
    He was your enemy. There’s no way in hell I’d want to have any traces of Nick around. I could maybe give it up for adoption…but still I would always wonder.

    Carlos:
    Whatever you do Jenny, I’ll be here for you.

    Carlos gets a call on his cell phone. He answers it.

    Carlos:
    Hey Agatha. Yeah I guess we can discuss what we found out. You pretty much know about the situation anyway.

    Jenny:
    I want to be the one to tell her.

    Carlos:
    Hold on Agatha.
    (to Jenny)
    Let me handle this.

    Jenny:
    (angry)
    No! Let me talk to her. Please.

    Jenny tries reaching for the phone but Carlos doesn’t let her have it.

    Jenny:
    Give it to me Carlos!

    Carlos tries walking away but Jenny won’t stop to reach for the phone. She tugs one last time but loses her balance and begins to fall backwards. Jenny tries regaining her balance but instead trips on the leg of her bed and falls out of a two story window.

    Casting News

    By Matt P.,

    Numerous guest stars are coming to Point Palace. Look for The Bold and The Beautiful star Dan McVicar to play Antonio, a wealthy fashion designer who gets involved with John's (Ryan Gaus) career. ER and film star Mehki Phifer guests as Doctor Vexen, a fertility clinic specialist for Jenny (Geneva Hyman) and Carlos (Jordi Vilasuso.)

    To make it a love quadrangle Christel Khalili will be a recurring cast member with possible contract upgrade status as her character Rena will be involved with Jace (Matthew Lawrence), Will (Jim Carnicela), and her roommate Alicia (Holly Valance.) Another guest star turned recurring is reporter/paparazo Mark (John-Paul Lavossier). Lavossier was last seen in Season 4 but will be the bad reporter trying to get a story any which way he can, according to series creator Matt Politylo.

    Then bad girl Nan Sheridan (Lorena Chacon) will be playing yet another Sheridan sibling. Look for Chacon to pull up triple duty when she plays Anna Lee Sheridan. Politylo describes this interesting new character:

    "We've seen twins in soap operas, Nan's already had a twin who died in Season 1, so I wanted to make a triplet who is different from her. Anna Lee is the fragile Sheridan. We'll see Nan try to protect her but of course use her for a selfish gain. Anna Lee does have a purpose and it won't be revealed until Season 6."

    Carlos was stunned when he read the name of the father. For a moment he could hear himself breathing heavier and heavier. He looks at Jenny who was on the verge of tears.

    Carlos:
    (to Doctor Vexen)
    This can’t be. There has to be a mistake.

    Dr. Vexen:
    I’m sorry Carlos but there isn’t.

    Jenny:
    Seriously. Maybe there was an error or something. Nicholas Quarr can’t be the father of my baby!

    Dr. Vexen:
    Our tests results never lie. It leaves little room for errors.

    Carlos:
    It is too early to conclude. Jenny’s only been pregnant for a couple of weeks.

    Dr. Vexen:
    Yes it is harder to find out because Jenny’s in the first stage of her trimester.

    Jenny:
    Then what you’re saying is there could be a mistake. This piece of paper can be wrong. Right?

    Dr. Vexen:
    I don’t know what to tell you. Speaking off the record and coming to you as a person and not a doctor, I wish the results were in your favor.

    Carlos:
    Just- How sure are you on this?

    Dr. Vexen begins typing on his computer and looks back at them.

    Dr. Vexen:
    We had numerous doctor help us out and they ran the same test at various times. Let me explain to you the process. We matched everyone’s blood samples, including the samples we had from Nick when he used to work here. Then we took a small sample of Jenny’s-

    Carlos:
    (forceful)
    Believe me I know how it’s done.
    (calming down)
    We just- I’m just- Overwhelmed I guess.
    (to Jenny)
    Are you ready to go?

    Jenny is silent. She just kept looking off in deep thought. She stands up to come to.

    Jenny:
    Yeah. Thank you doctor for everything.

    Jenny storms out of Dr. Vexen’s office. Carlos goes after her. When he catches up to her in the hallway, he grabs her arm to stop her from walking. She looks at him with hurt eyes as tears streamed down her face.

    Jenny:
    Why? Why do bad things happen to us? Why couldn’t it have been our child? I’m carrying my rapist’s baby. Why us?

    Jenny continues to cry. Carlos holds her and kisses her forehead.

    Carrie begins to do some research on her laptop at The Palace Café on Dylan's behalf. Dylan comes around and hands her a drink.

    Carrie:
    Thanks.

    Dylan:
    You’re welcome. What did you find out?

    Carrie:
    That what Rebecca told us was the way to go.

    Dylan:
    Is surgery really the only option?

    Carrie:
    Yeah. Unfortunately. But look at the bright side, you go under, and when you wake up your cured.

    Dylan:
    That’s wonderful. Then I’ll be minus one of my boys.

    Carrie:
    Dylan you’ll be fine.

    Dylan:
    I don’t want to be here anymore.

    Carrie:
    Why? What’s wrong?

    Dylan:
    I just want to be alone.

    Carrie:
    Too bad. You have me and I’m not going to let you sink into some sort of depression.

    Dylan:
    Carrie I have cancer!

    Carrie:
    Pretty soon you won’t. You can’t run away from these things. Rebecca said that if you don’t dissect the lump, it could grow, and ruin your insides.

    Dylan:
    Gross.

    Carrie takes Dylan’s hand and kisses it.

    Dylan:
    Thanks.

    Carrie:
    I’m going to be here for you. Just like you’ve always been there for me.

    Carrie kisses Dylan’s cheek.

    In John’s room, Alley looks at the flowers that he had delivered to her, she smelled the roses and smiled. Alley calls John on his cell phone. He is taking pictures for Antonio with models. During a break, he answers his cell.

    John:
    Happy Valentine’s day baby.

    Alley:
    You seriously shouldn’t have. That was too sweet.

    John:
    Yeah I had too. You would've attacked me if I didn't.

    Alley:
    Are you almost done? I’m thinking that when you get home, I’ll wear something very sexy that you like.

    John:
    Oh yeah? Go on.

    Alley:
    It’s this red little negle-

    Alley turns around to find Marissa with a scowl on her face.

    Alley:
    Got to go. Your sis is here.

    John:
    Please just be civil.

    Alley:
    Why wouldn't I be? Bye.

    Alley hangs up with John.

    Marissa:
    Didn’t he want to talk to me?

    Alley:
    Nope. He was too busy and I guess that’s your fault that he’s away so much.

    Marissa:
    John is following his dreams. He has a job. Have you ever heard of that? Besides, all you do is mooch around this room, don’t you have your own place?

    Alley:
    I’m actually in the process of permanently living here. It might get a little bit cramped so you might just have to go rot in the streets.

    Marissa:
    We’ll see about that!

    Alley:
    Excuse me?

    Marissa:
    You heard me. I don’t appreciate your little stunt with Antonio and before you know it my brother will realize what a conniving, low life, tramp of a girlfriend he really has!

    Alley winds up and slaps her across the face.

    Marissa:
    Did that feel good?

    Alley:
    Yeah. I’ve wanted to do that since the first day I met you.

    Marissa:
    By all means. Here’s how I’d like to retaliate.

    Marissa grabs onto the vase full of roses and goes over to the sink in the kitchen.

    Alley:
    What the hell do you think you’re doing?

    Marissa turns on the garbage disposal and thrusts the roses down the machine until the sink is nothing but a red mess.

    Alley:
    Hey! John bought those for me!

    Marissa then takes the glass vase and throws it at her. Alley ducks as it’s inches from her head.

    Marissa:
    Gee Alley you really are a mess. First you just start freaking out and throw things. Can’t forget about you hitting me. My point is, you’re just unstable, and this is something that John has to see.

    Alley:
    You’re a freakin’ liar! You’re the one who-

    Marissa:
    Who’s he going to believe? Family always comes first.

    Marissa walks past her but turns around before going to check on L.J. in John’s bedroom.

    Marissa:
    We’ll see how fast you last in this place! Happy Valentine’s day.

    Marissa blows her a kiss. Alley takes another vase and throws it at the closed door.

    Nan gathers candles in her bedroom as night falls. She notices Anna Lee snooping around her room.

    Nan:
    Can I help you...roomie?

    Anna Lee:
    Do you have a date or something?

    Nan:
    (sarcastic)
    No I’m just going to pleasure myself tonight.

    Anna Lee:
    Ewww gross.

    Nan:
    I was just kidding. Look I need you to be locked away in that special little room I told you about.

    Anna Lee:
    I don’t like in there. It’s dark and it’s creepy.

    Nan:
    Deal with it!

    Nan grabs Anna Lee and takes her to a closed room.

    Anna Lee:
    Please don’t do it. What are roommates for anyway? I’ll leave you alone. I promise.

    Nan:
    You’ll be fine.

    Anna Lee:
    Can’t I just go somewhere else? Like The Café or-

    Nan:
    Hell no. Remember what I told you? You don’t exist! Besides people might mistake you for me and that’s something that you definitely don’t want to go through.

    Anna Lee:
    But…

    Nan opens the door and pushes Anna Lee into it. She quickly shuts it and locks it. On the other end, Anna Lee bangs on the door but it is sound proof. Nan looks at her make up in a mirror and winks at herself. She heard footsteps and knew it was Bryan. Nan opens the door for him.

    Nan:
    You’re right on time.

    Bryan holds an expensive bottle of champagne.

    Bryan:
    May I come in?

    Nan:
    Of course.

    Bryan walks in. Nan shuts the door behind her. He hands her the bottle.

    Bryan:
    It’s for you.

    Nan:
    That’s very nice of you.

    Bryan:
    I know. Did you hear anything about Hammerhead?

    Nan:
    No but I’m sure he got out of it. If I’m obviously able to, then I’m sure he can.

    Bryan:
    The only reason why he can is because of his position on the school board. Which of course could’ve been mine!

    Nan:
    Calm down boy. I have other scores to settle. Blake isn’t always on top of my revenge list.

    Bryan:
    He should be. After everything he did.

    Nan:
    I’m going to call a truce with him.

    Bryan:
    (outraged)
    You will do no such thing. Why?

    Nan:
    To throw him off guard while I plot against someone else. Surely our paths will collide again.

    Bryan:
    Then fine. You go and fight your other wars but I won’t give up on getting what’s rightfully mine.

    Nan:
    Good for you. Now I think we know another reason why you came over here.

    Nan places her hand on his belt. She seductively runs the other hand up his thigh while looking at him.

    Bryan:
    Hopefully this doesn’t change for us.

    Nan:
    Shut up and kiss me!

    Bryan scoops Nan up in his arms and passionately kisses her. He throws her up against the wall and kisses her neck. Both of them begin to pant. Nan begins to strip as Bryan’s pants drops to his knees. While still being pinned against the wall, he begins to thrust her with all his lustful might. The two fall to her couch and continue to kiss each other.

    Meanwhile, Anna Lee digs through her pockets and finds a spare key that she made to all of the rooms in Nan's place.

    Anna Lee:
    You might have been born three minutes before me Nan but I’m not as dumb as I look.

    Anna Lee opens the door and leaves Nan’s room to the outside world.

    Blake drives his Mercedes to Marli’s room. He parks his car and begins to think to himself. He has a flashback of what Officer Wendell told him.

    Officer Wendell:If you don’t hear from me, then you have nothing to worry about. Okay?


    Blake took a deep breath to calm himself down.

    Blake:
    It’s okay Blake. Everything will be fine. Dean lied for you and it’s not like you did anything wrong. Those idiots tried setting you up.

    Blake shrugs it off and gets out of his car. He walks up to her room and knocks on the door. She’s dressed up in a jade colored short dress which Blake quickly notices.

    Blake:
    Wow.

    Marli:
    Hey to you too. Do I look okay?

    Blake:
    Mesmerizing. Are you ready to go?

    Marli:
    Yeah I am.

    They walk to his car. Blake acts like a gentleman and gets the door for her. Blake starts his car up to drive to The River Teal.

    Blake:
    This time we can have more than just drinks.

    Marli:
    Oh darn I was hoping that we could have some expensive bubbly again. Thank you for that.

    Blake:
    Hey no problem.

    Marli:
    This school seems to be in the romantic mood.

    Blake:
    Yeah it can be. It can also be a heartbreaker if you’re not careful.

    Marli:
    Somehow I’ve already realized that.

    Blake parks in the parking lot of The River Teal. Before they get to the glass elevator. Mik walks out and notices the two of them.

    Mik:
    Hey Blake do you mind posing for the camera?

    Blake:
    Um…what is this for?

    Mik:
    I work for Palastine.

    Marli:
    What’s that?

    Mik:
    A gossip magazine.

    Marli:
    No thank you.

    Blake:
    You heard the lady.

    Mik:
    Oh come on.

    Blake:
    We said no.

    Marli:
    Please just respect our privacy ass hole!

    Mik:
    Hey I’m a paparazzo in training. It's a free country, check the first amendment.

    Mik pulls out his Nikon camera and snaps picture after picture. Blake shrugs it off but Marli continues to get nervous.

    Marli:
    I don’t like this at all! Let’s go Blake.

    They walk into the elevator. When the door closes Blake looks over at Marli who’s shaking.

    Blake:
    Are you okay?

    Marli:
    (jittery)
    Yeah I’m…I’m just…I’m good. I’m fine. Let’s just enjoy our night together.

    Will looks at the bouquet of roses that he had bought for Alicia. He knocks on her door but instead of Alicia answering, it’s her roommate Rena.

    Rena:
    Can I help you?

    Will:
    Yeah is Alicia around?

    Rena:
    No she’s not.

    Will:
    You wouldn’t mind if I drop this off for her would you?

    Rena:
    Not at all.

    Will:
    My name’s Will. And you are?

    Rena:
    Her roommate. I’ve seen you around before. You live with Jace don’t you?

    Will:
    Yeah. How do you know that?

    Rena:
    I was at your party the other night.

    Will:
    Cool. Our apartment is definitely the party house.

    Rena:
    I’ll be right back. If you leave, just make sure to not lock the door or I’ll have a very pissed off RA.

    Will:
    Sure thing.

    Will places his bouquet on Alicia’s bed. He turns around to leave and bumps into Jace.

    Jace:
    Well, well, well. What do we have here?


    - - -
    Five minutes before Will went to see Alicia, Sky saw him sneaking under Ava’s car. The plan was set in motion. Sky looks at Ava who’s sitting across from her in her living room.

    Sky:
    I think that it would be best if we put everything out on the table.

    Ava:
    I agree.

    Sky:
    You don’t know how good it was to hear your voice when you said you wanted to see me again.

    Ava:
    The reason why I called is because I’m contemplating a few things.

    Sky:
    Really? Is Nate not giving you what you want? I could've seen that one coming with his diseases and such.

    Ava:
    I’m not going out with Nate for the thousandth time.

    Ava thinks back to what Nate told her about tonight.

    Nate:If that’s the case, I’ll leave you alone. Meet me back here in two days at nine o’clock. If you come to me, then I know you want me.


    Ava looks at her cell phone and sees that it was 8:54; she still had some time to spare.

    Sky:
    I feel hurt by your decision to break up with me. That’s all I want to tell you. Sometimes hurt feelings can lead to a few unpredictable events.

    Ava:
    Are you threatening me?

    Sky:
    Not at all. Why would I do such a thing? I'm not a mean person, unless I'm pushed.

    Ava:
    The reason why I’m here is because I need to know if I still feel something for you.

    Sky:
    (confused)
    What? You mean, you’re willing to give me another chance?

    Ava:
    (hesitant)
    Yeah.

    Sky:
    Oh my god. Ava I didn’t see this coming at all. I thought you were going to just continue to push me further away.

    Back at The Palace Café, it was close to closing time, Nate walked in with a heart shaped candy box. He was hoping to find Ava but he didn’t see her.

    Nate:
    Come on Ava. I know you’re coming. I know you want to be with me.

    Ava stands up and kisses Sky trying to see if she felt something deep down inside.

    Ava:
    I think I should go. I need to...put things in order.

    Nate has since sat down near the front door but only a few couples were leaving, which made Nate feel even more impatient.

    Nate:
    Please walk through that door.

    Ava walks out of Sky’s apartment. The kiss stunned Sky who in turn realized the mistake that she was about to make.

    Sky:
    (screaming)
    AVA WAIT!

    Nate looks at his watch to see that a big amount of time has passed. Nate pulls out his cell phone to call her but stops himself.

    Nate:
    No. I have to let her make this decision on her own.

    Sky runs out of her apartment corridor to get to Ava.

    Sky:
    (hollering)
    STOP!

    Nate throws away the chocolates and leaves the cafe.

    Ava starts up her car engine and begins to back up without hearing Sky’s screams. Sky continues to run to try to stop her. Ava tries pumping her brakes which don’t work. The car comes to a screeching crash.

    Nan lets her gun drop to the ground. Standing before her was someone who looked just like her. The other person stopped digging through Nan’s dresser drawer and looks up at her.

    Anna Lee:
    Oh my god. You’re alive!

    Anna Lee stands up and hugs her.

    Nan:
    Yes I’m alive. Where the hell have you been? Under a rock?

    Anna Lee:
    No I thought that you died. It was in the news and-

    Nan:
    I know exactly what you’re doing here. You thought that since your triplet’s dead you can come and try to live the good life.

    Anna Lee:
    Exactly! Believe me though, I wouldn’t want to play the part of Nan Sheridan. It seems like everyone in this place hates you.

    Nan:
    Has anyone seen you yet?

    Anna Lee:
    Not yet. I actually just got in. Which wasn’t easy at all. I had to break in here to find that your stuff was all in order. I needed proof that you were dead.

    Nan:
    Well here it is here sister. Take a good look.

    Anna Lee:
    Great.

    Nan:
    That means you can leave. You really have no business being in Point Palace.

    Anna Lee:
    Really? Is that what you told Tracie when she wanted to come here?

    Nan:
    Our sister-

    Nan thinks to when Tracie was dropped from a cliff to her death. She looks away from Anna Lee.

    Nan:
    Her story was different.

    Anna Lee:
    Where has she been? We haven’t heard from her back home.

    Nan:
    (lying)
    She’s been traveling abroad. Quite frankly, I haven’t heard from her either. You know how twisted and screwed up our family is that she probably wants to be distant. I don’t blame her.

    Anna Lee:
    Exactly! It’s time for a change and I am staying right here. You’ll need a roommate so it should be me.

    Nan:
    (thinking)
    You know what? I think that you staying here would be a wonderful idea.

    Anna Lee:
    Nan that would be so freakin’ amazing!

    Nan:
    You can stay here on one condition!

    Anna Lee:
    Of course. Anything!

    Nan:
    No one knows who you are and you listen to every damn word say. You got that?

    Anna Lee:
    (saluting her)
    Sure thing Nan. I’ll clean up the place. Now that I know that you’re alive. This is going to be so much fun.

    Nan:
    Yes it really will be. Welcome to Point Palace. It’s such a wonderful place full of so many opportunities.

    During the same evening, Blake opens the doors to The Cody Prescient to speak with Officer Wendell. Blake goes through the security measures and sees that his door is open. Blake knocks on it to get his attention.

    Blake:
    Hey you wanted to see me?

    Officer Wendell:
    Yes. Please sit down.

    Blake listens and sits across from him.

    Blake:
    What can I do for you? You sounded so serious on the phone.

    Officer Wendell:
    Earlier today we were questioning Bryan and Nan with their supposed involvement with the gala explosion.

    Blake:
    And did you arrest them for what they did? Nan obviously admitted to it and Bryan even gave all indication to being her partner for their crime.

    Officer Wendell:
    We can’t really discuss that with you but-

    Blake:
    What do you mean you can’t discuss it? They tried framing me for taking innocent people’s lives!

    Officer Wendell:
    They brought evidence against you.

    Blake;
    What are you talking about?

    Officer Wendell turns a portable DVD player around towards him and presses play. Blake watches himself and London rooting through Nan’s room.

    Officer Wendell:
    Care to explain this?

    Blake:
    Yes. I got a call from Dean Halte telling me that no one had claimed Nan’s things so I thought that it was Nan playing tricks on us so I got permission from Dean to go explore her room. That was when I found her diary saying that she had blew up the gala and wanted to frame me for it!

    Officer Wendell:
    Fine. I’ll talk to Dean just to make sure that your story checks out. I’m really getting sick and tired of the three of you.

    Blake:
    You know deep down inside who to believe.

    Officer Wendell is silent.

    Blake:
    That’s what I thought. Can I leave?

    Officer Wendell:
    Yes. If you don’t hear from me, then you have nothing to worry about. Okay?

    Blake:
    Sure thing.

    Blake exits Officer Wendell’s and immediately pulls out his cell phone to call Dean.

    Blake:
    (to Dean)
    Hey it’s Blake. I need you to do me a huge favor. Officer Wendell is going to talk to you about-

    Dean:
    He already called me.

    Blake:
    Really? That’s funny he said that he was going to get in touch with you.

    Dean:
    I actually just got off the phone with him a little bit ago.

    Blake:
    Please tell me what you told him!

    The next morning, Dylan and Carrie walk into Rebecca’s office. They both smile at her and sit down in front of her desk.

    Carrie:
    Rebecca it’s nice to see you again. I’m sorry for snapping at you the other day.

    Rebecca:
    I understand. It’s unfortunate that we have to meet under these circumstances. I take it that Dylan told you why we’re all here today.

    Dylan:
    I did. She had been through way too much not to know what was going on. Let me start off by saying, I slid into a depression. I didn’t want to see anyone or be near anyone. I just wanted to be alone.

    Rebecca:
    Depression is usually the first psychological sign for anyone who has some sort of form of cancer.

    Dylan:
    Why me though? Seriously why did it have it to be me?

    Rebecca:
    No one knows why they get it. Testicular cancer isn’t something you acquire.

    Carrie:
    Then what can he do to stop it? Is it treatable?

    Rebecca:
    Of course it is. There are two stages, stage one is the early stage and stage two is something far worse. Since Dylan caught this early, it’s very treatable.

    Carrie:
    That’s good to know.

    Dylan:
    What’s the next step then? What can I do to get rid of this cancer?

    Agatha walks into The Palace Café while talking on her cell phone.

    Agatha:
    Carlos don’t worry about it. I have some connections with some very nice people who can deal with this sort of thing. Yes the results can be sped up very fast. Look I’ll talk to someone who can get a sample of Nick’s blood. I’m sure they have those sort of things on file. Just don’t worry and pray for the best. Okay? See you soon.

    Agatha walks up to the counter to speak with Ginny. Ginny fixes her glasses and helps her.

    Ginny:
    What can I get for you?

    Agatha:
    I’m actually here to inquire about the manager’s position that’s open.

    Ginny:
    Oh my god that would be amazing. My name’s Ginny Coy. I'm almost the owner of this place.

    Ginny pulls out her hand for Agatha to shake.

    Agatha:
    Nice to meet you.

    Ginny:
    Do you have a resume?

    Agatha:
    Right here.

    Agatha pulls it out of her purse and hands it to Ginny. Ginny begins to read it.

    Ginny:
    I thought you looked familiar. You worked at the hospital. For so many years I can see. Why did you leave?

    Agatha:
    (lying)
    Retirement purposes. I decided that the medical field needs a rest so- I’ve always wanted to run a diner or a coffee shop. Possibly even own one.

    Ginny:
    Would you settle for a manager’s position?

    Agatha:
    Sure.

    Ginny:
    This was sort of an impromptu interview but so far you definitely have what we’re looking for. We’ll be in touch.

    Agatha shakes Ginny’s hand and leaves. Until she’s tapped on the shoulder. She turns around to find Tanisha.

    Agatha:
    Can I help you?

    Tanisha:
    Yep. And I can surely help you. Why be the manager of The Palace Cafe when you can own it?

    Back inside, Ava sits at a plush chair, working on a class assignment from her laptop. She stops to take a sip of her coffee. Nate sits across from her.

    Nate:
    Hey.

    Ava:
    Hi. I’m actually just about to leave.

    Nate:
    That’s okay. I only wanted to talk to you for a short time.

    Ava:
    Let me make it even shorter. Yesterday was…weird. If you’re trying to get to my heart, it’s not going to be through your pants.

    Nate:
    You know what you said to me yesterday kind of hurt.

    Ava:
    I’m-

    Nate:
    Don’t apologize. You were only being honest. Now it’s my turn to be honest. I wasn’t trying to sleep with you. I just wanted to gage a reaction from you and see if guys turned you on. I know you felt something because I was vulnerable towards you. I would never do that for a girl.

    Ava:
    Vulnerable or not, I just don’t know yet what I truly want. Besides, I wasn't always a lesbian.

    Nate:
    Would it be crazy if I asked about your past?

    Ava:
    No. My first boyfriend turned me into an alcoholic, he in turn killed my next drug addict of a man, and then let's not forget about the married professor who I fell for.

    Nate:
    Wow. That's...wow.

    Ava:
    Yeah. I come with baggage. I don't think you want that.

    Nate:
    It's only fair that I let you know about me then. I can inform you that after taking proper medication I’m cleared of my STD, if that's what you truly care about.

    Ava:
    I only said it out of frustration. Just like how I slapped you and I’ve been pushing you away.

    Nate:
    The reason why you’ve been doing all those things is because of-

    Ava gets a call on her cell phone. She sees that it’s Sky. Ava looks away from Nate.

    Nate:
    It’s because of your caller isn’t it?

    Ava:
    Yeah it is.

    Nate:
    Then I think I know what you have to do. See if you still have feelings for Sky. Find out if you still want her. If that’s the case, I’ll leave you alone. Meet me back here in two days at nine o’clock. If you come to me, then I know you want me.

    Nate exits. Ava reluctantly answers the phone to talk to her, knowing that she had to sort out of her true feelings.

    Sky opens the door to her apartment to find Will in front of her. He walks in and waits for her to hang up.

    Sky:
    Yeah. I think that we should get together very soon. Thanks. Bye.

    Sky hangs up with Ava and turns her attention to Will.

    Will:
    Were you talking to your ex?

    Sky:
    Yep.

    Will:
    What’s her name?

    Sky:
    That’s none of your concern. All you have to worry about is what I’m going to have you do.

    Will:
    So basically you want me to do your dirty work? You come out smelling like roses and I-

    Sky:
    And you get the girl. I already know for a fact that their relationship is falling a part at the seems. We all know who to thank for that. Me! That’s why it’s time to take put this plan into action.

    Will:
    Fine. On one condition!

    Sky:
    Yes?

    Will:
    Whoever or whatever it is that happens, doesn’t come back to haunt me. I have way too many skeletons in my past.

    Sky:
    Then you’re perfect for the job because it won’t. All I need you to do is to cut the wires on my ex’s car. She’ll get into a minor accident and I’ll be able to tell her that she shouldn’t have messed with me.

    Will:
    Yeah that sounds like fun and it’s definitely something I can do but instead of threatening her, why don’t you console her, and show her that you’re there for her.

    Sky:
    Yeah that’s a great idea! Thanks Will. Since Valentine’s Day is coming up, you should get Alicia something. Heck maybe I’ll even chip in for it. I know that dick head of her boyfriend won’t get her crap. You’re free to go.

    Will rolls his eyes and begins to head for the door. Until he sees Sky’s back’s turned away from her. He also notices her cell phone sitting on the table. Will quietly opens the flip phone to find out who she was talking to. He notices Ava’s name on the call list.

    Sky:
    (turning around)
    What are you still doing here?

    Will:
    Don’t worry. I’m leaving.

    Will walks out of Sky’s room and stops.

    Will:
    Ava. There’s only girl on this campus with that name. The same one who told Trella that I killed Zak. It’s funny how things turn out.

    Will gets an evil smile on his face.

    Alone in her room, Marli gets a call on her cell phone. She opens a window shade to see if anyone was outside but the coast was clear.

    Marli:
    Hello?

    Caller:
    (computer voice)
    How’ve you been Marli?

    Marli:
    I’ve been doing well. How’s everything back home?

    Caller:
    Great. Just fine. We wanted to do our annual check up and to see how’ve you're doing.

    Marli:
    That’s nice of you. You know the only thing that I really care about is my family. I know that son of a bitch got released.

    Caller:
    You obviously have been checking up on the news over here.

    Marli:
    Yeah. Then again I never know when I’m allowed to call. I always have play by your rules.

    Caller:
    Well our rules will keep you safe.

    Marli:
    I know. I’m safe where I’m at. There’s no way that anyone can find me and that includes him or his gang.

    Caller:
    We’ll do our best at protecting you. For now just continue to lay low.

    The caller hangs up with Marli as she begins to pace back and forth in her room.

    Marli:
    Lay low. That’s what my life has come to. I hope they don’t get mad when I go after the President of Point Palace. Since Nate doesn’t want me, I guess I’ll just have climb the ladder of success.

    In the wee hours of the night, John and Alley are in John’s bed together. Alley places her head in his chest while he plays with her hair.

    Alley:
    We haven’t had a lot of time to ourselves so this is nice.

    John:
    Yeah. Marissa’s out with Antonio and L.J.’s asleep.

    Alley:
    Are you sure you’re not mad about yesterday?

    John:
    I am having horrible visions of seeing my sister’s rack but other than that, I guess you could call it an accident.

    Alley:
    It honestly was. My finger just slipped.

    John:
    Yeah right.

    Alley:
    Hey look, let’s not worry about Marissa. Let’s just have fun tonight. Okay?

    Alley passionately kisses John. John takes off his shirt and moves in closer to her. She pulls his neck in and continues to kiss him. She then undoes his belt and throws it across the room. Alley unzips John’s jeans and kisses his stomach until there’s a knock at the door followed by Marissa walking in.

    Alley:
    (embarrassed)
    Oh my god!

    John:
    Hey give us some privacy!

    John quickly turns around to zip his pants and put his shirt back on.

    Marissa:
    Sorry but I did knock.

    John:
    Usually when someone knocks they say, come in, or we’re busy. You don’t knock and then come in.

    Marissa:
    Okay whatever but I have really good news for you.

    Alley:
    You’re leaving?

    Marissa:
    You wish. I just got back from my, business date with Antonio, and you officially have the job.

    John:
    That’s awesome! Thank you Marissa.

    Alley:
    (sarcastic)
    Yeah thanks Marissa, you’re timing was excellent.

    Marissa:
    Hey what’s family for. Now you two, go back to doing whatever it was you were doing. Don’t let me stop you.

    Alley:
    Right.

    Marissa:
    Act like I’m not even here.

    Marissa exits John’s bedroom and begins to giggle. John looks at Alley who isn’t pleased. He slowly kisses her neck but she turns away from him.

    John:
    What?

    Alley:
    Nope.

    John:
    Oh come on.

    Alley:
    Hey you would’ve been but your sister ruined it! Good night.

    Alley takes a pillow and plops down against it to leave John sexually frustrated.

    Jace’s apartment is rocking as a party is going on in the common area. The roommates have guests over while loud music is playing and people are drinking. Will was no where to be seen but Jace was by the beer keg. He takes a swig of his beer and joins Alicia who’s dancing with another girl.

    Alicia:
    You like her?

    Jace:
    Yeah she’s kind of hot.

    Alicia:
    You want her?

    Jace:
    I want the both of you.

    Alicia:
    Too bad. You’ll have settle for just me.

    Jace:
    I think I can handle that.

    Alicia:
    Are you sure you won’t act like you did the other day?

    Jace:
    Yeah I promise. Even though I kind of enjoyed it when you roughed me up.

    Alicia:
    You’re sick.

    Jace:
    Let’s go back up to my room. If you’re lucky, I’ll let you pull my hair. You know I like it when you take control.

    Alicia and Jace stop dancing with the girl. They begin to walk upstairs to Jace’s room. Will walks in and notices everything that’s going on. Jace sees that he’s arrived and right in front of him he kisses Alicia.

    Alicia:
    Hey Will.

    Will:
    Looks like a big party.

    Jace:
    Yeah you should have tons of fun. I know we will.

    Jace grabs Alicia’s hand as they walk up to his room. Will watches them leave and he isn’t happy. If anything he was more jealous then before. Jace looks back at him and shoots him a satisfied look.

    The next morning, Jenny and Carlos pace back and forth while they wait for the results to the paternity test, outside of Dr. Vexen's office. Carlos looks at Jenny and smiles.

    Carlos:
    I told you that Agatha would come through. She’s worked so long in this place that she pretty much could run things if she really wanted to.

    Jenny:
    She really did come through. How was your shot?

    Carlos:
    It stung a little bit, what about you?

    Jenny:
    It hurt a lot but hey we need to know right away.

    Carlos:
    Of course. We’re going to find out that the baby belongs to us.

    Dr. Vexen:
    You two can come in now.

    Carlos takes Jenny’s hand. She squeezes back as they walk into Rebecca’s office.

    Jenny:
    So doctor do you know? Is it too early?

    Dr. Vexen:
    No. We found out who the father is. Thanks to Agatha, we were able to get a sample of the other subject. I’ll let you two read the results.

    Dr. Vexen hands the test results to Jenny and Carlos. They begin to read it.

    Jenny:
    Oh my god…the father is…

    Dylan felt daggers go through him as he heard Carrie’s voice on the other end. Speak you fool, was what he thought to himself, but the words couldn’t come out. On the other end, Rebecca didn’t know what to do either as she leaned against her office desk.

    Carrie:
    Come on you two. I’m waiting for an explanation.

    Rebecca:
    Unfortunately Carrie I’m not obligated to do such a thing. There are patient confidentiality laws that prohibit me from doing so.

    Carrie:
    Cut the bull. You were obligated enough to let Dylan know that I wasn’t pregnant so don’t even get me started on who owes who what!

    Dylan:
    We’ll deal with this now. Rebecca I’ll call you back.

    Rebecca:
    Okay. I’m sorry Carrie, truly.

    Dylan hangs up with Rebecca and walks into his living room. Carrie’s eyes are hurt and were moving back and forth a mile a minute. She was obviously shook up in anger.

    Carrie:
    You know what? I know what it is that I have to do. I’m going to call Juliana and I’m going to tell her that things aren’t working here. She wants me to be a family with her, then fine. I’ll leave. It wouldn’t be the first time.

    Carrie begins to dial numbers on the phone until Dylan retrieves it and hangs up. She turns away from him.

    Dylan:
    You’re not going to do that Carrie. We both know that the situation’s not that easy.

    Carrie:
    (turning back to look at him)
    Then what is it? What is wrong with you?

    Dylan looks away from her.

    Carrie:
    Of course. It’s like your emotions just go limp. I don’t know even know who you are anymore.

    Tears begin to fall down Dylan’s eyes and onto the floor.

    Dylan:
    I’m sorry. I’m sorry for being distant but…

    Carrie:
    But what? Just tell me please! Whatever it is, I’m sure I can handle it. Are you gay? Or did you impregnate someone? Just say it.

    Dylan:
    (admitting)
    I have testicular cancer!

    Silence rocks the room. Carrie’s mouth slowly dropped.

    Dylan:
    Yeah. That’s why I didn’t want to make love to you because I didn’t think that I could do it. That’s why I wanted you to leave me alone because I don’t know how to handle this. That’s why I hid everything from you.

    Carrie:
    Oh my god. Dylan I feel like such an idiot for- I’m the one who’s sorry.

    Dylan:
    Don’t be. You had no idea and I’ve been treating you like garbage.

    Carrie:
    I- I just don’t know what to say or what to do.

    Dylan:
    Just tell me that you’re here for me. Those are the only words I want to hear.

    Carrie:
    Dylan you know that I will always be here for you. I love you.

    Dylan:
    I’m scared Carrie. I’m so scared. You go your whole life thinking that nothing will happen to you but boom you find something on your testicle and it ruins everything.
    (admitting to himself)
    I have testicular cancer!

    Dylan falls to the ground and cries. Carrie goes down with him and holds on to him for support. She cradles him in her arms, rocking him back and forth, while he sobbed from his own tragedy.

    Feeling really bad about the way she handled herself, Ava knocks on Nate’s hotel room door to talk to him. After the second knock he answers it.

    Ava:
    Can I come in? I brought you some breakfast. It’s a peace offering.

    Nate:
    Really? What else do you have with it? A punch in the face?

    Ava:
    No. I’m here to apologize.

    Nate:
    Then by all means.

    Ava walks in to his hotel room. She places the breakfast bag on the table closest to the door.

    Ava:
    Have you thought about moving out of the hotel and into an apartment?

    Nate:
    This place has been home to me. Not that you care but I can afford it.

    Ava:
    Right with your school salary and all. That was the main reason why you came here in the first place. Right?

    Nate:
    That and snatch. Since that got me a nice helping of Chlamydia, I’m looking to other things.

    Ava:
    Look I’m sorry for what I did. It was out of place for me to hit you. It’s just I don’t like when people say mean words or demean someone because of their sexuality.

    Nate:
    But what are you?

    Ava:
    You know, I’ve been asking myself that question since day one. Am I Ava the alcoholic? Am I Ava the lesbian? Ava the mistress? Honestly I don’t know.

    Nate:
    The only thing that angers me is that I’m willing to give you something that I could never give any girl. I’m willing to give you my heart.

    Ava:
    It’s just- I-

    Nate:
    Are you still gay? Do you have feelings for Sky?

    Ava looks away from him.

    Nate:
    Fine. You don’t know what you are that’s cool. We’ll do a little test then.

    Nate takes off his shirt and throws it on the ground.

    Ava:
    What are you doing?

    Nate takes his pants off and throws them on the ground to until he is completely nude.

    Nate:
    I want to prove to you that you’re attracted to guys.

    Ava:
    (confused)
    What?

    Nate:
    Do I turn you on? Why don’t you come over here and hold me. Maybe you need touch me to find out that you want it.

    Nate grabs her hand and runs it all over his body. He tries pulling her in close to kiss him but she pulls away after finding herself to be caught in the moment.

    Ava:
    No Nate I can’t!

    Nate:
    Of course. I’m not trying to force you to do anything that you don’t want to do.

    Ava:
    You want to know why I don’t want to be with you physically? It’s because of your STD!

    Later on the in the afternoon, Alley and John follow Marissa into a boardroom where John was going to be introduced to one of Marissa’s client. Marissa purposely dressed revealingly because she knew what sold. Especially since the client that she was trying to go after wanted her for the longest time. Marissa opens the door and flirtatiously puts her arms out to hug Antonio who liked her string tube top and long skirt to match.

    Marissa:
    Antonio, it’s so great to see you again.

    Antonio:
    It sure is my dear. Now where is that talented brother of yours?

    Marissa:
    Right here. Antonio meet the next Andy Warhol.

    John:
    (modest)
    Yeah I wish. John Snaldry. It’s very nice to meet you.

    Alley clears her throat. Marissa rolls her eyes knowing that Alley wanted to get a mention also.

    Marissa:
    (unenthusiastic)
    This is his girlfriend Alley.

    Alley:
    Antonio it’s so nice to meet you. I love all of your products. You are the one who definitely has talent.

    Antonio:
    I like her. Such spunk. It’s nice to have an entourage.

    Marissa:
    She’s definitely something else.
    (changing the subject)
    Now I’m sure you’ve seen John’s work. I believe my company forwarded you his portfolio.

    Antonio:
    I did. It was very edgy. Just like our clothing line.

    John:
    You really liked my work?

    Antonio:
    Of course I did. Let me tell you something, you are one hell of a lucky son of a bitch because you have connections with someone like your sister and if I didn’t like your stuff, we wouldn’t be talking.

    John:
    Thank you so much. Seriously thank you.

    Marissa leans in to show Antonio some cleavage which definitely catches his attention.

    Marissa:
    Now let’s talk about the photo shoot.

    John notices what she’s doing and pinches her arm to let her know that he’s on to her. She quickly stops.

    Antonio:
    Well you’ll be filming models wearing our new summer line. We like to film them doing the most eccentric and sexy things ever.

    John:
    I hope that I can get the job done. You seriously don’t know how much this means to me to get a chance like this.

    Alley:
    He can definitely get the job done. I don’t know if he put this one picture in his portfolio but we actually met because he-

    Marissa:
    Alley may I speak to you for a second outside?

    Marissa grabs Alley’s arm to raise her out of her seat as they both go outside into the lobby. John is alone with Antonio.

    John:
    I’m truly honored…

    Back outside, Marissa points her finger at Alley to scold her.

    Marissa:
    I didn’t ask you to come here and this is the reason why because you would ruin things.

    Alley:
    I was only trying to help.

    Marissa:
    Helping? You’re not doing anything to help. This is a very professional business meeting so why don’t you let the professionals do the talking. Okay?

    Alley:
    Professional? You call that slutty dress, if you can even call it a dress, professional? Do you know how obvious you are? I’m surprised Antonio didn’t start throwing dollar bills at you.

    Marissa:
    Do me a favor Alley. Shut the hell up or go away!

    Marissa turns away from her. Alley was so angry from what Marissa had told her that she wanted to rip her hair out but instead, Alley lightly grabbed onto the tie of Marissa’s top and tugs at it. Marissa walks back into the boardroom topless. John is embarrassed and shuts his eyes but Antonio liked the view.

    Marissa:
    (not noticing)
    Now where were we?

    Alley walks in behind her and begins to giggle as Marissa feels the cool breeze.

    Alley:
    (sarcastic)
    Looks like you’re definitely showing off your money makers.

    On the set of “Blue Crystal,” Carlos finishes filming a scene with Ian, and sees Jenny sitting off to the side next to a stage hand. Before he was able to go up to her, Carinia stops him.

    Carinia:
    Carlos that scene was amazing.

    Carlos:
    Thanks Rin.

    Carinia:
    Look we need you to screen test with some new potential actresses. Since C.C. was arrested, we’ve decided to recast her. And who knows? If it doesn’t work out, we could always fire them at the last second but that’s not up to me. That’s up to the people who I like to call the powers who pay my bills.

    Carlos:
    That’s great. I can’t wait.

    Carinia:
    I’ll let you know what time we need you.

    Carinia smiles and exits. He walks over to Jenny who looks tired and distraught.

    Carlos:
    Hey chica.

    Jenny:
    You did a really good job out there. Are we able to leave?

    Carlos:
    Yeah I think so.

    Jenny:
    I’m surprised that you were able to not let the situation affect your work.

    Carlos and Jenny exit to the studio parking lot. They get into Carlos’s car but before Carlos starts the car, he looks at Jenny.

    Carlos:
    Let’s just get it all out in the open right now.

    Jenny:
    How are you so calm and collected?

    Carlos:
    Because deep down inside I believe that baby belongs to us.

    Jenny:
    You’re very optimistic.

    Carlos:
    I am and you should be too.

    Jenny:
    How can I be optimistic, let alone happy? I was raped by your worse enemy. There’s a huge possibility that this baby could be Nick’s.

    Carlos:
    No! There’s no way possible.

    Jenny:
    (screaming)
    STOP IT! STOP THINKING THAT IT’S NOT A REALITY!

    Carlos looks away from her out of frustration. His flaring anger got to him. He repeatedly punches the steering wheel until his fists turn red.

    Carlos:
    Damn it!

    Jenny:
    Please just calm down. You scare me when you get angry.

    Carlos:
    I’ll call Agatha today. She can tell us what to do. We’ll get a paternity test and we’re going to find out whose baby it is. I just pray to god, that it’s ours because I’m so sure that it is.

    Nan and Bryan sit in questioning at The Cody Prescient. Officer Wendell and another cop sat across from them.

    Officer Wendell:
    I wanted to let you both know that your bail was received but you’re not free to go just yet.

    Bryan:
    We’ve been here for almost a day. You haven’t told us anything.

    Officer Wendell:
    That depends upon how cooperative you two will be. Now Nan where were you during the time after the explosion? You were ruled as dead.

    Nan:
    I can tell you where I was before and after the explosion happened. I walked back to the kitchen to leave because it was so boring and I noticed a worker was throwing gasoline everywhere. He was trying to start matches and…I had to stop him. For once, I wanted to be the hero. Instead there was fire everywhere and I was flown into some bushes. When I woke up, I was at the hospital and my memory was erased because I hit my head.

    Officer Wendell:
    Can you please tell me which doctor took care of you?

    Nan:
    Yes. It was Doctor Nicholas Quarr.

    Officer Wendell:
    He has since been deceased.

    Nan:
    I’m sure he has some sort of records.

    Bryan:
    When I found out that Nan was alive I wanted to make sure that she was given the proper rest that she needed before making a recovery.

    Officer Wendell:
    President Hammerton says that he has a confession note from you Nan and that you Bryan had helped planted the matches which I specifically remember finding.

    Officer Wendell plops down the note on the table. He motions for the two of them to look at it. Nan quickly eyes it up and down before pursing her lips to talk.

    Nan:
    First off it’s typed and second did you ask Blake where he got this from?

    Officer Wendell:
    No we didn’t. Care to share?

    Nan:
    I was worried that if the worker was alive he might come after me so I had put in a security device in my room, which Bryan watched over for me, when I was in the hospital. This was prior to me getting my memory back. So we watched the tapes and I have Blake and his wife London, breaking into my room. Your partner over there has that piece of evidence.

    Nan smiles at the other officer. Officer Wendell takes the partner to the side and he hands him a DVD.

    Bryan:
    You can watch that and then you can free us.

    Officer Wendell:
    Not yet.

    Nan:
    Come on Alan!

    Officer Wendell:
    Nan how many times have we been through this?

    Nan:
    Too many and you want to know why? It’s because Blake and his little gang hate me so they will do whatever it takes to bring me down. I’m innocent.

    Officer Wendell:
    That’s why Alley was witness to you pretending to be Blake’s dead wife? The owners of a Parisian chateau claim to be talking to someone who said she was London Tyler! How do you explain that?

    Nan:
    Oh yeah like I had the time to look like London. That’s such a bull story and I don’t know anyone from Paris. I’ve been in recuperation and Bryan’s my witness. Now that we’ve cleared up everything, can we go now?

    Officer Wendell is silent.

    Officer Wendell:
    Yes. You’re free to go but I don’t want to see you in here again.

    Nan:
    Clear as a bell but I’d look out for the liars who will try to prosecute me.

    Officer Wendell’s partner takes the two out of the interrogation room to leave him alone to think. His partner returns to talk to him.

    Officer:
    What do you think?

    Officer Wendell:
    I never know what to think with her. Her stories always check out. We have to find Blake Hammerton because if there’s evidence of him breaking and entering, then he could be in big trouble.

    Across town at the bar of The River Teal, Blake celebrates his victory alone.

    Blake:
    (to the bartender)
    Another glass of the good stuff please.

    The bartender nods and hands him a champagne flute. Before Blake can take a sip, Marli sits next to him.

    Marli:
    (to Blake)
    Wow you look like you’re celebrating.

    Blake:
    I am. Can I buy you a drink?

    Marli:
    Since you’re in the generous mood I would love to have whatever it is you’re drinking.

    Blake:
    (to the bartender)
    Some bubbly for the lady please.

    The bartender pours Marli a glass of champagne.

    Blake:
    What’s your name?

    Marli:
    Marli Calloway and you?

    Blake:
    I’m Blake Hammerton.

    Marli:
    (star struck)
    Oh my god. You’re the president of the school!

    Blake:
    That’s me.

    Marli:
    I mean I heard of the name but I thought you were so much-

    Blake:
    Older?

    Marli:
    Yeah.

    Blake:
    Hey I’m young and I’m successful. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

    Marli:
    What are we toasting to Blake?

    Blake raises his champagne flute as Marli raises hers.

    Blake:
    To the good guys winning and to the bad guys getting what they truly deserve.

    Marli:
    Cheers!

    Blake and Marli’s glass clink. Blake takes a long sips of his champagne and shoots a flirtatious smile to who he was hoping would be a new friend. Before he could take another sip, Blake’s cell phone rings.

    Blake:
    Excuse me.

    Marli:
    Sure thing.

    Blake answers his cell phone.

    Blake:
    Blake Hammerton.

    Officer Wendell:
    Blake it’s Officer Wendell.

    Blake:
    Yes, Alan what can I do for you?

    Officer Wendell:
    We need you to come down to the station. The sooner, the better.

    Knots were tying in Blake’s stomach after hanging up with Officer Wendell.

    Later in the night, Alicia and Jace were arguing in Jace’s room. Will wanted to hear every word so he decides to walk upstairs to eavesdrop in front of Jace’s door.

    Jace:
    What is your problem?

    Alicia:
    My problem is that you seem to like two things, beer and boobs.

    Jace:
    I’m a guy. What do you expect? I just wanted to have some fun and if you want to talk about having problems, maybe we should discuss who you’ve been hanging out with.

    Alicia:
    Oh of course Jace. The world revolves around you so whatever or whoever I hang out with, has to reflect you.

    Jace:
    Damn straight. You’re my girlfriend. People are reflections of yourself.

    Alicia:
    Reflections? Maybe you should take a long look in the mirror or is it too blurry for you because you’re drunk all the time?

    Jace:
    Way to go. I love how you try changing the subject when you know you’re wrong!

    Alicia:
    Wrong? How am I wrong?

    Jace:
    You’re hanging out way too much with Will and I really don’t like that lesbian girl you’ve taken under your wing. God knows what else you’ve taken her under.

    Alicia:
    He’s a friend of both of ours and Sky’s a nice girl.

    Jace:
    You don’t think I know. I see the way he looks at you.

    Alicia:
    Whatever. Are you jealous?

    Jace forcefully grabs onto Alicia’s arm and pulls her into him.

    Jace:
    I have you! You got that? Me!

    Alicia slaps Jace across the face.

    Alicia:
    I am not your possession. You understand?

    Jace is silent. Alicia looks at him up and down. She then pulls his hair and pushes him onto the ground. Jace picks himself up and charges towards her but stops inches in front of her.

    Alicia:
    Hit me! I dare you.

    Jace:
    You’re lucky I’m not drunk.

    Alicia:
    That’s the only thing you hide behind but let me tell you, it doesn’t make you a man at all!

    Alicia exits the room. Will smiles with delight. He walks back downstairs to his room and makes a phone call to Sky.

    Will:
    I should be thanking you.

    Sky:
    Were they already fighting so soon?

    Will:
    It was amazing. Alicia just stormed out. She called him an alcoholic.

    Sky:
    She’s only telling the truth. All I did was say that how awesome you are in front of them. Jace was freaking out but he didn’t show it. I’ll see if I can find her so that I can talk you up.

    Will:
    Do tell me though, are you sure you’re not in this for the same reason why I am?

    Sky:
    Oh I am. I just want to do her and I’m pretty sure that’s why you want her too but I’m worried about getting back at my ex. Since you and I are such good friends, we’ll discuss the details on that later. You’re welcome by the way.

    Will:
    Thank you.

    Will hangs up with Sky and falls down to his bed. He could only think of Alicia until he sees Lenvy shaking her head back and forth out of disgust.

    After a long and tiring day of being arrested for numerous accusations, Nan makes her way back into her own room. Before getting the keys out, she notices that the door on the lock had already been opened.

    Nan:
    What the- ?

    Nan twists the handle and slowly walks in. She begins to scan the scene, until she sees that her room had been ransacked. Clothes and papers were everywhere. Without saying a word, Nan tip toes over to a kitchen drawer and pulls out a small, silver hand gun. She heard noises coming from her bedroom and knew that someone was there. Nan runs to the room and pulls out her gun for the intruder to see.

    Nan:
    Hold it right there scum bag!

    Nan notices that the intruder is someone she knows very well.

    Nan:
    (shocked)
    What are you doing here?

    Jenny kept focusing on the pregnancy stick that she held in front of her. At first she couldn’t feel it within the grasp of her fingertips. She was too overwhelmed from the results.

    Carlos:
    Well what does it say?

    Jenny:
    Two lines mean that you’re pregnant and one line means that you’re not.

    Jenny hands Carlos the test for him to view it. He looks at it and his mouth drops.

    Carlos:
    You’re pregnant. We’re going to have a baby! This is so amazing chica!

    Carlos hugs Jenny but tears begin to pour out of her eyes.

    Carlos:
    Oh chica, we’re going to-

    Jenny:
    NO! No. Don’t you realize what this means?

    Carlos:
    It means that our future is changing.

    Jenny:
    I wish it were that simple.

    Carlos:
    What are you trying to get at?

    Jenny:
    You and I are always were protected.

    Carlos:
    Yeah but I guess something leaked through and that something was fate.

    Jenny:
    You weren’t the only one I had sex with.

    Carlos freezes in terror.

    Carlos:
    (realizing)
    Oh my god.

    Jenny:
    Yeah I didn’t think that far ahead until now.

    Carlos:
    It has to be ours. It just has to.

    Jenny:
    Believe me, I want us to have a child I really do but we have to realize the reality of the situation.

    Carlos:
    (in denial)
    This can’t be happening.

    Jenny:
    Carlos, this baby could be Nick’s!

    Will makes his way to The Cue Ball, the same place where he once had a date with Mika at, but this time he was going to enjoy a night out alone. He sits at the bar until he sees Alicia playing pool with Sky. Will walks up behind her.

    Will:
    Howdy mate.

    Alicia:
    Your Australian lingo is atrocious. This is my friend Sky. Sky this is Will Pazner one of Jace’s neighbors.

    Sky:
    Nice to meet you.

    Will:
    Same here. Where's Jace?

    Alicia:
    Probably drinking back at the apartment. Listen I feel really bad about the other night. I didn’t mean to be as loud as I was.

    Will:
    And like I said, don’t worry about it.

    Alicia gets a call on her cell phone. It’s Jace who sits outside of the apartment smoking a cigarette.

    Alicia:
    Hello?

    Jace:
    Where are you?

    Alicia:
    I’m out with some friends. You would know that if you were to place a tracking device on me.

    Jace:
    Oh baby if I could, I would. You wouldn’t want to know where I’d put it though.

    Alicia:
    I can think of a few places. What do you want?

    Jace:
    I want you to come back to my apartment so that we can have some fun. I’ll give you some balls to play with.

    Alicia:
    Funny.
    (turning her head)
    Will’s here so we can be as loud as we want.

    Jace:
    You’re with Will?

    Alicia:
    Yeah I-

    Jace hangs up with Alicia. She turns her attention to Will and Sky.

    Alicia:
    I have to go. I’ll see you two around.

    Will:
    Do you need a ride?

    Alicia:
    No thanks. I’m good.

    Alicia exits leaving Will to mingle with Sky.

    Sky:
    You know that she’s bi right?

    Will:
    No I didn’t. Are you trying to get with her?

    Sky:
    I wish. She’s a hot little number isn’t she? I think she’s all talk and that’s something that I don’t need. I’m already plotting against my current.

    Will:
    Good luck with that.

    Sky:
    You have a better chance with Alicia then I do.

    Will:
    Why would you say that?

    Sky:
    First off it’s obvious you have a little crush on her and second she’s having problems with her boyfriend. The guy’s a dick!

    Will:
    Oh you don’t say?

    Sky:
    I don’t like him at all. He treats her like crap but she won’t admit it.

    Will:
    Let me ask you something, Sky is it?

    Sky:
    Yes?

    Will:
    I need your help. The more info you can give me on those two, the better.

    Sky:
    What’s in it for me?

    Will:
    You need help getting back at your ex right?

    Sky:
    I do. It’s obvious that you like Alicia.

    Will:
    Then we’re going to very good friends.

    Ava walks back to her room in the middle of the night. She literally runs into Nate who walks out of a grocery store with a grocery bag in his hand.

    Ava:
    Oh it’s you.

    Nate:
    Nice to see you too.

    Ava:
    Where’s your new groupie?

    Nate:
    Who Marli? I told you we’re not dating.

    Ava:
    Whatever.

    Ava continues to walk on. Nate follows her.

    Nate:
    Why does it always seem like I’m the one who’s following you?

    Ava:
    If that’s how you feel, then maybe you should follow the signs that I don’t know what I want yet.

    Nate:
    You said the word yet so there has to be some sort of chance in there.

    Ava:
    Don’t look too much into it.

    Ava notices Sky walking out of The Cue Ball. She stops and pulls Nate aside so that they can’t be seen.

    Nate:
    What are you doing?

    Ava:
    Just shut up for a second.

    Ava watches Sky taking down Will’s number. Nate notices it too.

    Nate:
    Either my eyes have deceived me or the lesbian is becoming a hetero. Considering she hates anything with a penis.

    Ava:
    Oh I can’t believe she’s hanging around him.

    Nate:
    Who’s he?

    Ava:
    Like the worst person in the world. He’s the one who turned me into an alcoholic some years ago. This is great. My two exes are talking.

    Nate:
    Then maybe it’s a blessing those two are together.

    Ava:
    I just don’t know why she would do such a thing. What is she up to?

    Nate:
    (frustrated)
    You know what? Instead of worrying about that butch bully, maybe you should start worrying about yourself.

    Ava:
    What?

    Nate:
    Why would you care about her? You broke up with her because she treated you badly. Then you have someone like me who’s willing to change his ways, settle down, and be a loving person to you. You know I would never say or do this for any girl but you just seem to care about that dyke!

    Ava slaps Nate across the face for using that word.

    Ava:
    I hate that word.

    Nate:
    Why? Because you’re worried that you still might be one? Maybe you should question if you’re truly over her. If you are, you have my number.

    Nate exits leaving Ava to feel a little bad about how she treated him.

    Marissa is on her cell phone talking to a business partner while she waits outside for the glass elevator of The River Teal.

    Marissa:
    Yeah I’m staying at my brothers place. It’s saving me money and you cannot believe how rich this school is. Besides I’m going to make him a great offer doing whatever it is that he likes.

    The elevator opens and she gets on it by herself.

    Marissa:
    No. I have a legit job in my family’s eyes so while I’m gone I need you watch over the business for me. Got it? Good. When the time’s right, we’ll migrate the business to Point Palace. Hopefully my brother could be our guinea pig. I just have to get rid of his no good girlfriend to do that. Which will be no problem at all. Bye.

    Marissa hangs up the phone and walks over to John and Alley’s table. Their backs are turned to her.

    John:
    Promise me you’ll be good tonight.

    Alley:
    I don’t like her. I’m sorry John it’s just a vibe.

    John:
    You will. After tonight I’m sure you two are going to get along so well.

    Marissa:
    (overhearing them)
    Who’s getting along? Me and Alley? I like her John. She has sass.

    Alley:
    (coy)
    Thanks.

    John opens Marissa’s chair for her to sit down on.

    Marissa:
    He’s such a gentlemen but I’m sure you already know that Alley. You are one lucky girl.

    John:
    Believe me she knows.

    Alley:
    I do.

    Marissa:
    And even though I know you two have been through so much-

    Alley:
    Wait! How do you know that?

    Marissa:
    I can’t reveal my sources but I can assure you that I’m not judging anyone.

    John:
    Damn it! Guy told you things. That’s great. When I get home I’m going to beat his ass.

    Marissa:
    You will do no such thing.

    Alley:
    Can we just enjoy our dinner in peace please?

    Marissa:
    Of course we can.

    John:
    This is a celebration sis. Thanks to you, I can follow my dreams of being a photographer.

    Marissa:
    You sure can. I talked to my marketing firm and they want you to start right away. They really think you’re talented.

    Alley:
    I think that’s great but John you might have to travel a lot and I know you don’t like to do that. Since you’d be away from L.J. and me.

    Marissa:
    Listen Alley. I think that this is my brother’s decision, not yours!

    Alley begins to flare up. She digs her hands into the stem of her wine glass. John looks at her and knows exactly what she was going to do next.

    John:
    (whispering in her ear)
    Don’t even think about throwing that on her. It costs way too much.

    Alley stands up.

    Alley:
    Please excuse me.

    Alley exits to go to the bathroom leaving Marissa and John alone.

    John:
    It’s a wonderful opportunity.

    Marissa:
    And it’s obvious that you want to do it. Don’t let anyone hold you back from your dreams! Not even your girlfriend.

    The next afternoon, a press conference has been called by Bryan to discuss a huge issue. The reporters and other students gather because the buzz about Nan’s return surfaced with a huge impact. Outside of the administration wing, Blake takes Leon aside to talk to him with Dylan by his side.

    Leon:
    You know that I had to do it. I’m sorry.

    Blake:
    I understand, I truly do. But here’s my side of the story…

    Dylan:
    Hey we all know that Bryan's just as bad as Nan. When Blake was gone, he was trying to buy out the school, and I even caught him trying to forge Blake's name. So there you go Leon, you can print tha-

    Dylan places his hand near his upper thigh.

    Blake:
    Are you okay?

    Dylan:
    I’m fine dude. I think I might skip out. This is just way too much to handle. Get the justice you deserve!

    Dylan shakes Blake’s hand and exits. Blake gives Leon his quote as Bryan made his way to the stage.

    Bryan:
    I would like to thank everyone for coming on such short notice. We’re here to discuss yet again something that we wish to forget from this school’s past…the infamous gala explosion. Now I know that the story you all were led to believe was that Nan Sheridan was accused of the arson and that I, myself, had something to do with it.

    Reporter:
    Where’s your proof Mister Daniels?

    Bryan:
    Right here.

    Nan makes her way to the stage. She looks to the crowd with teary eyes.

    Bryan:
    I’ll let Nan tell her side of the story.

    Nan:
    I know that you all must hate me but that was what President Hammerton wanted you to think. He found a note that was forged by someone trying to pretend like they were me but it wasn’t. The night of the gala explosion, I found the person who did it. It was a male who…

    Nan stops and begins to break down with fake tears.

    Nan:
    He wasn’t right. I saw what he was doing and we struggled over the matches but before I knew it I was flown into some bushes. The incident was terrible.

    One of the spectators in the crowd was Will who kept shaking his head. Nan looks at him and smiles. There was nothing he could do because of their catch 22. He couldn’t accuse her or she would turn him in for the things that she knew he did. Like giving him the explosives. Instead Will decided to stay.

    Bryan:
    Now I know that this was very hard and traumatic for Nan so we will take questions.

    Will:
    (screaming)
    Did you kill her?

    Nan:
    Excuse me?

    Will:
    Did you kill my girlfriend? Was it you?

    Nan:
    No Will. You might've just gotten here a little late but it wasn't me. I would never do such a thing.

    Will:
    Yeah because you're an angel.

    Nan:
    So are you.

    Nan glares at Will who backs down.

    Blake:
    I have a question. Why did you feel the need to impersonate my dead wife? It was so convenient that Bryan returned around the same time.

    Nan:
    Blake I think that you need a hug. Unfortunately there’s nothing we can do to bring back London. God rest her soul.

    Blake:
    You’re a liar! Everyone in this school knows it. Same goes to you Bryan. You conniving snake.

    Bryan:
    (to the audience)
    May I also bring to everyone’s attention that Mister Hammerton actually attacked Nan the other day. It’s all in the latest issue of The Point Palace Inquiry.

    Mark:
    I have another question.

    Bryan notices Mark from the previous press conference. Bryan was worried that he might say something to ruin his cover.

    Mark:
    Miss Sheridan are you accusing Mister Hammerton for having something to do with the explosion?

    Nan:
    No I wouldn’t. I just think that it’s petty that he would try to make it look like we did it.

    Mark:
    May I ask where you were for so long?

    Nan:
    I was in a hospital, recuperating. There are still some burn scars to prove it.

    Blake:
    Here’s another burn for you missy. Officer Wendell arrest them.

    Bryan:
    What?

    Officer Wendell:
    Nice to see you again Miss Sheridan. It’s time that the authorities handled everything.

    Nan:
    But I-

    Officer Wendell:
    But nothing. Nan Sheridan and Bryan Daniels you are arrested for the suspicions of arson and faking a death. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you both say and do will be held against you in a court of law.

    Blake smiles as Nan and Bryan are arrested. Blake takes the stage.

    Blake:
    This concludes our conference!

    - - -
    Dylan watched the news reports about the scene that had went down earlier in the day. Students were confused on who they believed. In a recent poll, Blake’s story was checking out more than Nan’s but as the reporter pointed out, her story was valid. Dylan shuts off the television and skips into bed. He folds his hands to pray.

    Dylan:
    Why god? I don’t ask for much. Anything that I do or anything that I’ve sinned for, I’ve always wanted forgiveness. Why me?

    A tear pours out of Dylan’s eye and onto this pillow. He gets a knock on his door but doesn’t get up to answer it. After a third knock, Carrie makes her way into his room.

    Carrie:
    (calling out to him)
    Dylan? Are you here?

    Dylan:
    I’m in bed.

    Carrie walks in and finds him in his bed with the pillow over his face. The room was dark, she opens up a window to let some light in.

    Dylan:
    Did I ask you to come in here and lighten things up? I was trying to sleep.

    Carrie:
    Wow you’re snippy today. Are you sure it’s not your time of the month? Maybe I should let you borrow a pad of mine.

    Dylan:
    I’m not having it today Carrie.

    Carrie:
    What is it? Why? What’s up?

    Dylan:
    (raising his voice)
    Like I’ve told you and everyone else a thousand times before, it’s nothing!

    Carrie:
    Nothing is what you told me when I asked you who you were talking to.

    Dylan:
    Seriously you’re being ridiculous.

    Carrie:
    Me? You’ve slumped into some sort of depression and I don’t know why. Is it because of the DiMarco fiasco?

    Dylan:
    (sarcastic)
    Oh yeah like that’s it.

    Carrie:
    Way to humor me a hole!

    Dylan’s room phone rings. Carrie answers it but Dylan quickly gets out of bed to retreieve it.

    Dylan:
    Hello?

    Rebecca:
    Hi it’s Rebecca.

    Carrie:
    Fine be that way.

    Carrie exits his bedroom and goes into his living room.

    Dylan:
    Did the test results come back?

    Rebecca:
    They did and it’s not good.

    Dylan:
    Great.

    Carrie:
    What is going on Rebecca?

    Dylan & Rebecca:
    CARRIE?

    Carrie had placed them on speaker phone located in the living room without them knowing.

    Carrie:
    Yeah so I want to know what’s going on and I want to know now! What’s wrong with Dylan?

    Blake looks at Nan with the most hated eyes he could ever give anyone in his whole entire life. She doesn’t back down, instead she puts her hands on her hips and smirks.

    Blake:
    You…I can’t believe that you have the gull to show your face in this town.

    Nan:
    It was bound to happen sooner or later.

    Blake:
    After everything you did, you’re-

    Nan:
    Alive!

    Blake:
    Ridiculous. Vile. Inhumane.

    Nan:
    What else do you have for me big boy? It’s not like I haven’t heard it all from you or your little punk ass sidekicks before. Besides, you can go and tell whoever you want that I’m alive. It’s always he said, she said with you and me. That’s the way it would be and of course I would win. Just like I used to.

    Blake:
    No you won’t! Do you know how much damage you caused? You ruined so many people’s lives. Parents don’t have their children because of you. Lovers don’t have their significant others! This school is still picking up the pieces because of everything that you caused.

    Nan:
    Nan Sheridan’s dead for the moment but don’t worry, I’ll pop up alive with some sort of reasonable explanation. I always do.

    Blake:
    The hell you will.
    (forcefully grabs her arm)
    You’re getting arrested.

    Nan pulls her arm back.

    Nan:
    Get your hands off of me, unless you want me to scream rape again.

    Blake:
    What’s worst of all is that you tried making me think that London was alive.

    Nan:
    It’s always about you isn’t it? How you feel or what you want!
    (mocking)
    Oh my daddy buys me the school and everyone has to listen to what I say or else.
    (snickers)
    And I’m the selfish one.

    Blake:
    When you got involved with London and my school, that’s when you crossed the line.

    Nan:
    Just like when you made me think you were in love with me so that you can try to humiliate me for your own benefit? That’s some line of bullshit you got there.

    Blake:
    You won’t get away with this.

    Nan:
    (taunting)
    I’m so scared Blake.
    (tempting)
    It was fun to kiss you again. To feel the passion that you had with your wife. Excuse me, your dead wife.

    Nan had obviously hit a nerve from her last comment.

    Blake:
    What did you say?

    Nan:
    (talking like London)
    Blake I love you so much. I truly do, I-

    With all of the anger and rage inside of him, Blake charges for her throat and begins to strangle her. He is so forceful with his attack that Nan falls to the ground as he begins to bash her head off of the ground.

    Blake:
    (screaming)
    YOU TAKE IT BACK!

    Ginny comes rushing outside and pulls Blake off of Nan.

    Blake:
    You’re done psycho! You hear me? You’re done. If I see you again I’ll make sure you’re deported.

    Blake exits in a huff. From a few tables back, Bryan takes the last picture of Blake’s rage with his digital camera. Nan coughs and tries to look like a victim. Luckily no one knew who she was when she put her sunglasses on her face. She then looks at Bryan who smiles back at her with his camera in hand.

    Dylan gets a call on his cell phone from Blake who is pacing back and forth in his office. After sleeping alone, Dylan gives his best friend his full attention.

    Blake:
    And you won’t believe who I ran into today? Nan freakin’ Sheridan! The bitch is ridiculous and after impersonating London she’s back to wreak more havoc on this school.

    Dylan:
    Damn. That girl has more lives than Jason Voorhees. Just calm down and we’ll handle it. We’re a team, okay?

    Blake:
    Thanks man. I’ll talk to you later.

    Blake hangs up with Dylan who gets dressed. He then gets another phone call.

    Dylan:
    Hello?

    Rebecca:
    Dylan it’s Rebecca.

    Dylan:
    Thank you for calling me back.

    Rebecca:
    I wanted to make an appointment for you as soon as possible.

    Dylan:
    That sounds good. How does later today sound?

    Rebecca:
    I can pen you in. I’ll let the secretary at the clinic know right away.

    From outside of his bedroom, Carrie feels bad for the way she reacted the other day, so she surprises him with some breakfast in bed. She makes her way into his room with the key he gave her but stops when she hears him talking in his bedroom.

    Rebecca:
    What exactly seems to be wrong?

    Dylan:
    I…I don’t know. I just started to have shooting pains near my stomach and that region-

    Rebecca:
    Say no more. We’ll take a look at it when you come in and see me, okay?

    Dylan:
    Sure thing.

    Dylan hangs up with Rebecca and opens up his bedroom door to find Carrie with a smile on her face.

    Dylan:
    Hey, I didn’t expect to see you.

    Carrie:
    I know. I wanted to surprise you.

    Dylan:
    With breakfast. That’s so sweet but I’m not hungry.

    Carrie:
    That’s okay. You can just eat it later. Look I’m sorry about what happened the other day.

    Dylan:
    I am too. I didn’t mean to freak out on you like the way I did. It’s just- I’ve been going through some stuff back home and to tell you the truth I’m not over the whole DiMarco fiasco.

    Carrie:
    That’s exactly how I feel but you can always talk to me. We’re a team and I’m going to be here for you regardless. In speaking of Juliana, she keeps calling me, wanting to start a family.

    Dylan:
    If she wants that then tell her to move here.

    Carrie:
    That’s an idea.

    Dylan:
    That conniving bit-

    Carrie:
    (offended)
    That’s my mother you’re talking about!

    Dylan:
    Yeah well some mother she is.

    Carrie:
    Whoa where did that come from?

    Dylan:
    Someone should’ve told you about this before it came out the way it did. If Juliana didn’t like you hanging out with Victor, maybe she should’ve brought up that you were going out with your uncle!

    Carrie:
    We’ll deal with her in our own way. Just calm down.

    Dylan:
    Thanks for the breakfast, it was a very nice gesture.

    Dylan kisses her on her cheek.

    Carrie:
    So who were you talking to on the phone?

    Dylan:
    (caught off guard)
    What?

    Carrie:
    I heard you talking to someone on the phone. Who was it?

    In the afternoon, Alley hangs out in John’s room while he is in class. She is sitting on his couch, working on some homework. Marissa walks in to the front door and smiles at her.

    Marissa:
    Is my brother around?

    Alley:
    No. He’s in class and then I think he’s going to go to his internship.

    Marissa:
    That’s wonderful that he’s doing that. I was the one who got him that internship after all.

    Alley:
    You never really told me what you do for a living.

    Marissa:
    I’m in charge of booking photo shoots for a major marketing firm.

    Alley:
    Then that would just fit perfectly with John and his dreams.

    Marissa:
    It sure will. If you’ll excuse me I’m-

    Alley:
    Hey I was wondering if I could ask you something.

    Marissa:
    It’s a free country hun so shoot.

    Alley:
    What did you mean by your comment the other day about L.J.?

    Marissa:
    Annie you shouldn’t look too much into it.

    Alley:
    (correcting her)
    My name is Alley. Okay? And I sort of felt offended by what you said.

    Marissa:
    Well, it just seems like you haven’t made any effort with that little girl. Believe me, I’m a keen observer of things that come to my family, and first impressions are everything. That’s what I got from you. That you don’t care about baby L.J.

    Alley stands up from the couch to get in her face.

    Alley:
    How dare you!

    Marissa:
    Listen I’m only calling it as I see it. Since I’ve been here, you haven’t even picked her up once.

    Alley:
    I beg your pardon.

    John comes back from his class and the girls look at him.

    John:
    Hey what are you two up to.

    Marissa:
    We were just getting to know each other a little better. Isn’t that right Alley?

    Alley:
    Yes we were.

    Marissa:
    I’m off to tend to my beautiful niece. Take care you too and take some advice from me, if you’re planning on spending some alone time, try not to make another baby.
    (joking)
    I can’t take care of two kids or my rates as a babysitter might go up.

    Alley shakes her head as she exits.

    John:
    You two seem to be getting along just fine.

    Alley:
    Really? She insults me behind your back.

    John:
    You just have to take her with a grain of salt. Marissa can be very opinionated.

    Alley:
    Oh you don’t say. I don’t like her John and I want her gone!

    Bryan makes his way to The Point Palace Inquiry. He finds Leon’s desk and taps on his door to get his attention.

    Leon:
    What can I do for you?

    Bryan:
    It’s not so much what you can do for me but what I can do for you.

    Leon:
    Oh yeah? Funny I thought you were accused of assistance to arson.

    Bryan:
    That was all cleared up.

    Leon:
    Please continue.

    Bryan pulls out his memory stick and hands it to Leon.

    Bryan:
    I have some very interesting pictures to show you.

    Leon plugs the memory stick into his computer and pulls up the pictures of Blake attacking Nan.

    Bryan:
    Our school’s president seems to have a bit of a temper.

    Leon:
    Wait! Isn’t that-

    Bryan:
    Yep it’s Nan Sheridan.

    Leon:
    But I thought she was dead.

    Bryan:
    She’s very much alive.

    Leon:
    I can’t print these pictures.

    Bryan:
    Why because they’re too damaging to Blake or is it because you two are too good of friends? I was hoping that this newspaper was fair and balanced. Now unfortunately you have a really good story on your hands. I’ll tell you everything you need to know about Nan showing up alive.

    Leon:
    In exchange for what?

    Bryan:
    For printing these pictures as front page news! Do we have ourselves a deal?

    Leon pauses for a moment and knew that he couldn’t pass up on an amazing story.

    Leon:
    Unfortunately but I will be getting Blake’s statement.

    Bryan:
    As you should.

    Bryan begins to exit until he turns around with a smile on his face.

    Bryan:
    Just a suggestion but maybe the title could read in big letters ‘President Hammers Dead Girl.’

    At The Palace Café, Ginny wipes off the counter and hears the chatter of the customers talking about the scene that took place earlier. She then bumps into Sky.

    Ginny:
    Sorry.

    Sky:
    By all means that’s quite alright.

    Ginny:
    Can I get you anything?

    Sky:
    I was wondering if you could get me an application.

    Ginny:
    You want to work here because that would be great?

    Sky:
    Actually I wanted to work on you!

    Ginny smiles at her comment but hands her an application anyway.

    Ginny:
    I thought you were taken.

    Sky:
    A girl like you must obviously have a very open mind.

    Ginny:
    (shy)
    I do.

    Sky:
    The other ship has sunk.

    Ava walks into the café and looks at both of the girls before walking away.

    Sky:
    Speak of the devil.

    Ava takes her seat but is then joined by who she thinks is Sky.

    Ava:
    After yesterday, I don’t want to talk to you!

    Ava turns around to find Nate with Marli.

    Ava:
    Oh it’s you.

    Nate:
    Geez what happened yesterday?

    Ava:
    It’s nothing.

    Nate:
    This is my friend Marli Calloway.

    Ava:
    Nice to meet you.

    Marli:
    You too. I really dig this place.

    Ava:
    Yeah it’s our number one hangout.

    Marli:
    I definitely could see myself spending a lot of time here. I’m going to go get a drink. It was nice meeting you.

    Nate:
    (to Marli)
    Can I get you anything?

    Marli:
    No I’m good. You’ve already done so much for me.
    (to Ava)
    He makes an excellent tour guide.

    Marli exits to the front counter.

    Ava:
    She’s cute. Not my type but she is definitely yours.

    Nate:
    She’s actually a past fling.

    Ava:
    Then you better watch out because our exes who seem to despise you could ruin your chances with her.

    Nate:
    I’ve actually already had her and the barista.

    Ava:
    Figures. Girls do talk.

    Nate:
    I’m not worried about them. I want to settle down and have something I never had before.

    Ava:
    Like what?

    Nate:
    Like a relationship.

    Ava:
    I’m sure that girl’s single. Maybe you two could strike up more than just moving body parts.

    Nate:
    Marli’s just a friend. She’s not my type.

    Silence comes between them. Ava looks behind him at Marli who just overheard what he said. He then notices her and bites his lip.

    Marli:
    Not your type for what?

    Nate:
    For taking you to the stupid places around campus. I wouldn’t do that to you.

    Marli:
    I think I’m going to go.

    Nate:
    Wait!

    Marli:
    No I’m good. By the way, those girls up there wanted me to flick you off and the one with the glasses said she still wants to scald your balls. You must’ve done a number on them.

    Ava:
    He does have a way with the ladies.

    Marli:
    Yep. He sure does. Bye.

    Marli exits. Nate sighs with disbelief.

    Ava:
    If you were smart you’d go after her.

    Nate:
    Only because I’m turning into such a good guy will I do that but I want you to know something. You’re the one that I want!

    Nate exits to go after Marli while Sky blows a kiss at Ava.

    Later that evening, Will sits down on the couch of the common area in the apartment. He wasn’t happy because a house meeting was called by Jace. The other neighbors weren’t amused either.

    Jace:
    Now I would like everyone to know how pissed off I am about what happened last night. Was there a fire last night?

    Everyone is silent.

    Jace:
    The only fire that was burning was the one between me and my girlfriend!

    Will:
    Which we all heard.

    Jace:
    Wait. What did you say?

    The others look at Will because they couldn’t believe what he just said, which was what was on their mind.

    Will:
    I live below you. You two weren’t exactly being the quietest.

    Jace:
    I apologize about that.

    Will:
    Hey it’s cool. You’re loud during sex, it’s understandable.

    Jace:
    Yeah I guess it is but I want to know which one of you pricks pulled the fire alarm.

    Will looks around as the other smirk at Jace’s comment.

    Neighbor:
    You’re paranoid dude!

    Jace:
    (responding to him)
    And you’re a pot head. Did you forget to put out your blunt or something?

    Neighbor:
    Dude no way. I finish that to the end.

    Neighbor #2:
    Yeah he has the burns on his lips to prove it.

    Both of the neighbors begin to laugh.

    Jace:
    I’m not paranoid, it’s just this is very inconvenient for some of us who are busy!

    Will roles his eyes. Alicia walks into the doors and notices all of the guys talking.

    Alicia:
    Hey boys. What’s shaking?

    Without thinking Will stands up and begins to walk towards her. Jace and everyone else notice his impulsive move.

    After a long deep sleep Jenny wakes up in her bed in her comfortable pajamas. Carlos walks into her bedroom and feels her head.

    Carlos:
    How do you feel chica?

    Jenny:
    Groggy but better.

    Carlos:
    You just needed some well deserved sleep. I made you some chicken noodle soup. It’s warming up in the kitchen.

    Jenny:
    That would be nice.

    Carlos:
    You’re lucky someone found you in the bathroom. I was so scared for you.

    Jenny:
    I just wasn’t feeling well. I guess-

    Carlos:
    What?

    Jenny:
    There’s really something that I need to tell you.

    Carlos:
    Okay. I don’t like where this going.

    Jenny:
    When I was in prison, I was…late.

    Carlos:
    (realizing what she’s getting at)
    You’re not saying what I think you’re saying. Are you? Oh my god this is like really bad de’ja vu of a scene I filmed for Blue Crystal.

    Jenny:
    It kind of all makes sense. This whole vomiting and fainting thing. I think I could be pregnant.

    Carlos stands up from the bed with a shocked look on his face.

    Carlos:
    Then I’m happy for you. I mean we could share a baby. This is great news. If you are that is but how will you know?

    Jenny:
    I bought a pregnancy test just to make sure, it was one of the items I was allowed to get from the prison gift shop. Surprisingly they have tons of items for that extra special conjugal visit. Oh and by the way, don’t think I was trying to hide this from you, I just didn’t want you to find out this way.

    Jenny goes into the bathroom to use the stick. She talks to Carlos through the door.

    Jenny:
    At least this didn’t happen when I was in jail. Could you think of how I could explain that one?

    Carlos:
    We were so careful though. We were protected!

    Jenny:
    Sometimes things happen you know.

    Carlos:
    Yeah but...let’s just…take it one step at a time. Okay Chica?

    Jenny:
    Totally agree.

    Carlos:
    Is it ready?

    Jenny opens the door and looks at Carlos before looking at the stick. She takes a deep breath and examines it.

    Jenny:
    Yep. It’s ready. Are you?

    Carlos:
    So what does it say? Are you preggers or not?

    Dylan can’t stop but looking at himself in the mirror. It was as if time stood still. Carrie walked back into the bathroom and startles him. He quickly wraps himself up with the towel.

    Carrie:
    Did you hear what I said?

    Dylan:
    (nervous)
    No. I- I was too busy in the shower.

    Carrie:
    I said that I loved you. I haven’t said that to you in awhile but any guy who’s willing to nurse me back to life, is definitely someone I love.

    Dylan:
    Thanks. I love you too.

    Carrie:
    So maybe I could go for round two.

    Carrie seductively touches his neck and makes her way down to his toned midriff.

    Dylan:
    (more nervous)
    A…A second round?

    Carrie:
    Yeah. Maybe we can take that shower together. We could make it all hot and steamy. Just the two of us.

    Carrie tries untying his towel but Dylan catches her hand. He pulls her off of him.

    Carrie:
    What’s wrong with you? I was just trying to be playful.

    Dylan:
    I thought you had somewhere to be.

    Carrie:
    I was going to turn in my application to the café but I changed my mind on that one. So instead I’m going to class. My favorite class ever, lit arts. You know I could write a nice romantic poem about us.

    Dylan:
    Cool. You should go do that then.

    Carrie:
    (angry)
    What the hell is wrong with you?

    Dylan:
    (snapping back at her)
    I told you nothing!

    Carrie:
    Screw that romantic bull. How about I write about the truth? That my boyfriend can sometimes be a thoughtless jerk.

    Carrie exits his bathroom.

    Dylan:
    Damn it. Carrie wait!

    He hears his front door slam shut. When the coast was clear, Dylan picks up his cell phone and dials Rebecca Ralma.

    Dylan:
    Hi. It’s Dylan. I need your help…again.

    While walking into the Admissions wing of the school, Nate holds the door open for a girl who’s walking out.

    Marli:
    Thanks.

    Nate does a double take because the girl looks so familiar to him. His mind was back tracking, yep it was a girl he slept with, he thought to himself. This could go either one of two ways.

    Nate:
    Excuse me.

    Marli:
    Yeah?

    Nate:
    You look familiar. Were you by chance at Vegas for spring break ’06?

    Marli:
    Why yes I was. As a matter of fact you look kind of familiar too.

    Marli begins to think back.

    Marli:
    Oh my god. It’s you!

    Nate:
    Yeah so funny seeing you here. Mary Jane right?

    Marli:
    Actually it’s Marli.

    Nate:
    I could have sworn you told me your name was M.J. or something like that.

    Marli:
    I’m a huge fan of Spiderman and I thought that I’d probably never see you again so that was what I went with. Besides what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. My real name is Marli Calloway.

    Nate:
    What a pretty name. My name is-

    Marli:
    Nate Mavick. I remember you telling me that your last name resembled the gambling legend Maverick.

    Nate:
    And this all just came back to you?

    Marli:
    Yeah I guess it did. I was wondering how well do you know this school?

    Nate:
    Pretty well. I was recently appointed head of the Information Technology section. I’m kind of a big wig here...
    (whispering to her)
    I know the president of this place.

    Marli:
    That’s great. I ask because I’m new here and I want someone to show me around. Would you mind?

    Nate:
    Yes I’d love to. Why don’t we meet up tomorrow at around noonish at The Palace Café?

    Marli:
    Sounds good. I can’t wait.

    Marli smiles and exits. Nate pulls out his cell phone and calls Ava. He gets her voice mail to leave her a message.

    Nate:
    Hey it’s Nate. I was wondering if you wanted to get together sometime. Hopefully it’s sooner than later.

    Nate hangs up with Ava’s voicemail.

    Nate:
    Let’s just hope that you don’t turn into a lesbian again.

    - - -
    Ava sees Nate’s call but decided to ignore it. She is at The Library looking for a Psychology book. The librarian looks at Ava in a rude way when she shuts off her cell phone. Ava is a bit startled by Sky tapping her on the shoulder.

    Ava:
    You scared me.

    Sky:
    Sorry. Doing some research?

    Ava:
    Yeah. Another semester of Psychology is starting up again.

    Sky:
    Funny, that’s the class that practically ruined your life.

    Ava scowls at her while she begins to walk to away. Sky follows.

    Ava:
    That was my stupid decision.

    Sky:
    Partly because you got involved with a married man. Anything dealing with them is stupid. Basically anything with a dangling penis can show you what head they like to lead with.

    Ava:
    This is why you run into me? So that you can try to talk down men? Mostly Nate I assume.

    Sky:
    You and I are still friends right?

    Ava:
    Of course.

    Sky:
    Friends tell each other everything so if we’re friends then I just want you to know that I think you’re making a big mistake if you go out with him.

    Ava:
    Why because it’s not you?

    Sky:
    No.

    Ava:
    I’m sorry that I spoke my mind or the truth but it had to be said. I seriously thank you for everything you did but-

    Sky winds up and slaps Ava across the face.

    Ava:
    What the hell was that for?

    Sky:
    Because you’re obviously delusional. How can you go out with an STD ridden man whore?

    Ava slaps Sky back. Sky consoles her swollen cheek by smiling. She kind of liked it.

    Ava:
    You’re not my keeper anymore. If anything you’re too demanding! Not that it’s any of your business…friend, Nate and I are not going out anytime soon.

    Sky:
    You know, I kind of like a girl who’s rough. Note that I said girls because we both know that’s what you like. Deep down inside you’re gay! And you know it. You’re just being a stupid bitch.

    Alley knocks on John’s door in his room. He answers it with a forced smile on his face.

    Alley:
    Hey.

    John:
    Welcome home.

    Alley:
    Thanks. Can I come in?

    John:
    You know that you don’t even have to ask that. You’re always welcome here.

    Alley makes her way in. John shuts the door behind him.

    Alley:
    I wasn’t sure from our last couple of phone calls.

    John:
    Eh a lot of that had to deal with stress and knowing that you were with Blake. It’s kind of funny, we sort of fight then make up and fight again. It’s like a pattern for us.

    Alley:
    In speaking of patterns, London didn’t turn out to be at all what she seemed.

    John:
    (confused)
    What are you talking about?

    Alley:
    London was an impostor. It was Nan Sheridan. She paid money to have someone make her into London. The reason why is beyond me but it’s Nan so anything is possible.

    John:
    That bitch. I thought she was-

    Alley:
    Dead? Along with everyone else that was what she wanted people to think. She survived the explosion.

    John:
    Had I known that was going to happen then I wouldn’t have fought with you. You were obviously being a good friend to Blake and I respect that. Even I wouldn’t wish Nan Sheridan on him.

    Alley:
    Thanks. So what’s been making you stressful? Has L.J. been giving you problems?

    John:
    Actually…

    Marissa walks into John’s room from a jog. She doesn’t even notice Alley when she makes her way into the kitchen.

    Marissa:
    Hey Johnny Boy, let me tell you, it is such a nice day outside. I was thinking later maybe you can show me around. I’ve been meaning to tell you that my new job has relocated me to Colorado so I should be staying-
    (noticing Alley)
    Hi.

    Alley:
    Hi. Um who are you?

    John:
    This is my sister. Marissa. She’s going to be staying in my room for a couple of days.

    Marissa:
    Actually a couple of weeks. Maybe even months. I’m helping out with the baby plus my career has taken off in this town. And you are?

    Alley:
    I’m John’s girlfriend Alley.

    Marissa:
    Oh that’s right. How could I forget a pretty face like yours? John showed me some pictures he took of you.

    Alley:
    Those were from a long time ago.

    Marissa:
    Obviously. Hopefully we can get to know each other a lot better. Please excuse me. I need to take care of my niece.

    John:
    Yeah she’s been a big help for the most part.

    Marissa:
    Of course. Someone has to take care of that child. I’m surprised though, isn’t she your baby Alley?

    John:
    Marissa I-

    Alley:
    No. She’s not. Her mother died.

    Marissa:
    Such a shame. Well at least one of us ladies want to give that baby some sort of maternal attention. Better me than you. Since I’m family and all. It was very nice meeting you Annie. Ta!

    Marissa exits. Alley looks at John with piercing eyes. John can only smile.

    Later that morning, Bryan is on his cell phone making business calls to both Benjamin and Lanoi. He sits in his comfortable leather couch to the home that he had no plans on leaving.

    Bryan:
    Look if you’re not going to accept my offer, which is of course is a very bold decision in my opinion, then would you at least reconsider getting me back on the board. You and Benjamin both know that I am good for this school. My name has been cleared. Yes Lanoi, we’ll keep in touch.

    Bryan hangs up the phone. He walks into his kitchen to pour himself some orange juice. The doorbell rings and he answers it to find a girl with short black hair and sunglasses covering her face in front of him.

    Bryan:
    Can I help you?
    (being smart)
    I didn’t order a Spanish hooker.

    Nan takes off her wig and glasses. Bryan is shocked that it’s her.

    Nan:
    I should slap you across the face but knowing you, you might enjoy it.

    Bryan:
    Nan I didn’t know it was you. What a disguise.

    Nan:
    Who did you think it was, London?

    Both of them laugh. Nan walks in and looks around.

    Nan:
    You know I really have missed this place.

    Bryan:
    I missed you too.

    Nan:
    I said your place, not you. Keep it down and in your pants boy.
    (stops herself)
    Sorry that was mean of me. I have missed you too.

    Bryan:
    So you have a disguise down but our plan to convince Blake to give over his rights of the school to London was a big bust.

    Nan:
    I was working on that. Seriously I was right there. But, like always, big mouth Alley has to come and ruin everything.

    Bryan:
    Why can’t you just shut her up then?

    Nan:
    Believe me I tried that. We go way back and I tried killing her then- Let’s just change the subject. Like to Blake Hammerton.

    Bryan:
    You can’t go around dawning a disguise all day, you need to let people know that you’re back.

    Nan:
    I’m considered a dead murderer. How the hell do you think I can do that?

    Bryan:
    Easy.

    Nan:
    Do tell.

    Bryan:
    After thinking long and hard about it, let’s have a press conference telling everyone that you’re alive.

    Nan:
    Oh great so that they can throw rocks at me and crucify me for everything that I’ve done. Did you lose your brain when I was gone?

    Bryan:
    I’m not finished. We’ll make it look like you were a hero. Let’s just say that there was some disgruntled worker who you caught trying to blow up the place but when you got there it was too late.

    Nan:
    I like it. I really do. It’s the perfect lie that makes me look so good. It’s better than what I was thinking of. My twin sister’s dead so I couldn’t really fake like I was her.

    Bryan:
    And you know we still have that little piece of evidence that we can use against Blake.

    Nan and Bryan walk over to his living room. He pops in a DVD and presses play on his large high definition flat screen TV. They watch Blake and London breaking into London’s home to retrieve Nan’s journal.

    Nan:
    Looks like we caught the president red handed.

    Bryan:
    Exactly! We’ll just make it look like he wrote your note to blame you. That sense of yours is very good. You knew he would come looking for answers. This is pure genius.

    Nan:
    I’m glad we set him up the way we did. I can clear my name and you go after the sole ownership of the school.

    Nan walks to the refrigerator and opens up a bottle of champagne. She pours it in his orange juice to make him a Mimosa.

    Nan:
    (sighing)
    Bryan, you need a little more class.

    Nan throws away the normal glass and pours it into an expensive looking champagne flute. She hands the drink to Bryan.

    Nan:
    To getting what’s truly ours and to getting back at the people who truly deserve it!

    Bryan looks at Nan in a loving way.

    Bryan:
    Cheers.

    They both clink their classes in hopes of making their plan work.

    Later that night, Will tosses and turns in his bed. Alone. Above him he could hear loud noises coming from Jace’s room.

    Will:
    Damn it.

    Will wakes up and turns his light on. He looks up at the ceiling.

    Will:
    What the hell?

    After further investigation, Will can hear the muffled voices of Jace and Alicia.

    In Jace’s room, things were obviously getting hot and heavy. The bed was creaking loud as it was being rocked back and forth.

    Alicia:
    Yes. Don’t stop Jace.

    Jace:
    Yeah you like that baby?

    Alicia:
    (screaming)
    YES!

    Jace:
    Oh yeah. Who’s the best?

    Alicia:
    You!

    Jace:
    Say my name!

    Alicia:
    Shut up and do me.

    Downstairs Will was pacing back and forth. He couldn’t go back to sleep because of the loud sex above him. He hears Lenvy’s voice.

    Lenvy:
    Are you jealous?

    Will:
    Jealous of what?

    Lenvy:
    Jealous that that’s not you upstairs plowing her.

    Will:
    No.

    Lenvy:
    Admit it Will. You like her.

    Will:
    I’m not admitting to anything and as a matter of fact, I’m going to end that disgusting noise.

    Lenvy:
    What are you going to do?

    Will:
    You know me? I like to take matters into my own hands.

    Will walks into the common area of the apartment. The other neighbors obviously heard the same thing because a movie was being blasted upstairs. The doors to downstairs rooms were closed and the coast was clear. Will looks at the Fire Alarm and reads.

    Will:
    (reading)
    Pull in case of emergency.

    Lenvy:
    Don’t do it.

    Will:
    There must be some sort of fire going on in that room. And I just need to put a damper on it.

    Will pulls the alarm and quickly runs back to his room so that no one could see him. Upstairs, Jace looked around and stops.

    Jace:
    What the hell?

    Alicia:
    Oh my god. Is that the fire alarm?

    Jace:
    [!@#$%^&*] it is.

    Alicia:
    Come on let’s go.

    Jace:
    It was probably those stupid pot heads again. Just get some clothes on. Damn it. I was right there to.

    Everyone in the apartment makes their way outside. Alicia bundles up in a school blanket while Jace walks out with shorts on. Alicia smiles seductively at Will.

    Jace:
    (accusing his neighbors)
    Which one of you dickheads did this?

    Will:
    (speaking up)
    Yeah! Which one?

    Will turns away and begins to chuckle before he sees Lenvy shooting him a disappointing look.

    - - -
    Later that night, Jenny and Carlos have a date together at one of Point Palace’s most lavished restaurants, The River Teal.

    Carlos:
    This is what I’ve been looking forward to all day.

    Jenny:
    (smiling)
    Me too. I know that you think that what I did was stupid but I took the blame for us.

    Carlos:
    As much as I would like to think that it was a smart move, I am kind of realizing that you were only trying to protect me.

    Jenny:
    To be honest, I kind of thought in the back of my head, that yeah you could’ve murdered Nick. You have a wonderful career and everything’s going great for you so I didn’t want to see it taken away. Especially since you couldn’t remember anything.

    Carlos:
    Jenny let’s just forget about everything that happened and move on. C.C.’s arrested and well Nick’s rotting in hell as we speak.

    Jenny:
    You’re right.

    A slow song begins and Carlos stands up. He places out his hand to offer her a dance.

    Carlos:
    May I have this dance chica?

    Jenny:
    Chica? I haven’t heard that name in the longest time.

    Jenny takes his hand and leads him to the dance floor. The two get closer to each other. She looks into his eyes.

    Jenny:
    Thank you.

    Carlos:
    For what?

    Jenny:
    For always being there for me. For never leaving me whenever you had the chance to all those years ago.

    Carlos:
    You know you mean way too much to me to just throw everything away.

    Jenny:
    I feel the same way.

    Carlos leans in and kisses her. The two continue to dance with one another until Jenny begins to feel light headed. The room was spinning for her.

    Carlos:
    (noticing her)
    What’s up?

    Jenny:
    Oh I don’t feel so well. I’ll be right back.

    Jenny makes her way to the bathroom. She finds her way to one of the stalls and clings onto a toilet for dear life. She then vomits. Feeling slightly embarrassed, she regains her composure and stands up before fainting on the bathroom floor.

    - - -
    The next morning, after being fully unpacked, Blake treats himself to an early snack. He walks into The Palace Café to find it a little bit busy. While waiting in line, he looks to a table that he and London favored but it was just a fantasy. Blake shakes his head and focuses on the counter.

    Ginny:
    Can I help you? Oh my god President Hammerton it’s so nice to see you.

    Blake:
    Hey Ginny it’s cool you can call me Blake.

    Ginny:
    Of course Blake. What would you like?

    Blake:
    How about a Mocha Peppermint Frap please.

    Ginny:
    Sure thing.

    Blake:
    You sure do look busy.

    Ginny begins to make his drink.

    Ginny:
    Yeah. The owner is leaving and I’m thinking about maybe making a bid for this place. Now that I’m the manager, we’ve been super short staffed. The Palace Café means so much to this school for someone to just close it. I want to be this place’s savior.

    Blake:
    You would be great at that.

    Ginny:
    Awww thanks for the compliment…Blake.

    At another table, Tanisha overhears Ginny’s conversation with Blake.

    Tanisha:
    Well, well, well. Looks like someone will just have to outbid her.

    Ginny hands Blake his drink but accidentally spills it on Tanisha.

    Ginny:
    Oh my god-
    (noticing Tanisha)
    I’m not sorry.
    (to Blake)
    I’ll make you a new one.

    Ginny throws a towel at Tanisha who tries going after her but is stopped by Blake.

    Blake:
    Hey calm down. It was somewhat my fault.

    Tanisha:
    It’s cool.

    Blake:
    You were at my wedding right?

    Tanisha:
    Yeah I was helping out Alexia. It’s nice to see you again Blake.

    Blake:
    You too. I actually just spoke to her. Her and Owen are doing well.

    Ginny hands Blake his new drink.

    Tanisha:
    (raising her voice)
    Yeah Owen and I are still an item. You hear that loser? I still have your ex.

    Blake:
    And again I apologize for everything.

    Tanisha:
    (staring down Ginny)
    I don’t blame you at all Blake.

    Blake exits the café and drama inside. Sitting outside was Bryan, reading a newspaper, watching his every step. Blake bumps into another female.

    Blake:
    Whoa. I’m sorry.

    Blake takes a deeper look at the stranger in front of him. His mouth drops when he realizes who the stranger is.

    Blake:
    It’s you!

    Nan takes off her sunglasses to reveal herself to him with a big smile on her face.

    Nan:
    Hello Blake. Long time no see!

    Episode 103: Release Her

    By Matt P.,

    - - -
    Carlos was both happy and confused to see Jenny come to his rescue. Jenny was upset with what was going on in front of her. C.C. gets off of Carlos to face her.

    C.C.:
    What did you say?

    Jenny:
    You heard me. Get your slutty, whorish paws off of my man or I will personally see to it that I throw you face first through that window. The law’s on my side bitch!

    C.C. takes her whip and tries hitting her with it. Jenny grabs it and throws it across the room.

    C.C.:
    What are you doing here anyway?

    Carlos:
    Will someone please untie me?

    Jenny:
    Why don’t I let Detective Miltner explain that.

    Jenny opens the door to let Detective Miltner into the room. He shoots Carlos a weird look. He then looks at C.C. dressed in her outfit.

    Det. Miltner:
    I’d suggest you put some clothes on.
    (clearing his throat)
    Both of you.

    C.C.:
    Why? Are you going to arrest me for playing dress up?

    Det. Miltner:
    No. I’m arresting you for the murder of Doctor Nicholas Quarr.

    Carlos:
    (shocked)
    You! You were the one who did it.

    C.C. didn’t know what to think. She just stood there, slowly shaking her head.

    Jenny:
    Go ahead C.C. Why don’t you let us all know why you resorted to cold hearted murder. This is why I’m released. So maybe I should be thanking you.

    C.C.:
    You all are the crazy ones. You have no proof.

    Carlos:
    Hello? Can someone please untie me so that I can get dressed?

    Jenny unties Carlos and hugs him. He quickly begins to dress himself while waiting for C.C.’s response.

    Det. Miltner:
    Actually we do Miss Chastity. There was red hair found at the scene of the crime. The hair had traces of Nick’s blood on it.

    C.C.:
    I don’t mean to tell you how to play CSI but I’m a brunette.
    (pointing to Jenny)
    The red head’s over there.

    Det. Miltner:
    The hair was prosthetic. It hit me after Jenny’s long testimony about the, situation so to speak, I was able to see the video you made with Carlos. In that video you pretended to be Jenny with a red wig that was an exact match to the evidence that we found.

    Carlos:
    The tape that she practically raped me on. That’s a crime in itself!

    C.C.:
    If you want to watch a porno detective I suggest going to a dirty movie theater. Unless you’re that perverted that you want a live show. Carlos and I were having an interesting romp before you all broke in.

    Jenny goes after C.C. but is stopped by Carlos. Detective Miltner handcuffs C.C. who begins to squirm.

    C.C.:
    Didn’t think you were that kinky detective!

    Jenny:
    You’re pathetic.

    C.C.:
    No you are! I was the only one who did what everyone else wanted to do but no one else could.

    Det. Miltner:
    Okay. Let’s go.

    C.C.:
    Let me speak.

    Detective Miltner looks at Jenny and Carlos who motions for her to stay.

    C.C.:
    I couldn’t take anymore. Nick had raped Jenny and he threatened me. So I went to his office…

    A flashback begins of C.C. going to Nick’s office during the wee hours of the night as she recalls the story.

    C.C.:
    (continuing)
    I saw him doing work by himself. He noticed me, he was friendly, but that wasn’t what I wanted to be with him. Without thinking I strangled him but he broke free. Then I bashed him, I just kept hitting him over the head, with the phone. He was trying to say Charissa but he couldn’t because he was dead.

    Det. Miltner:
    I’ll take that as a confession.

    C.C.:
    There’s more though. He knew a secret of mine. Not everything was about them. He knew about my cocaine addiction and threatened to expose me so that’s the main reason why I killed him. He was so close to betraying me. I only tried helping you Carlos. I knew how much you hated him. With Jenny in jail, we could’ve been together, forever.

    Carlos:
    I don’t know who I loathe more, you or Nick. Take her away.

    C.C.:
    (screaming)
    NO! PLEASE DON’T! I’M A HERO DAMNIT! ME!

    Jenny:
    Wait!

    Detective Miltner stops.

    Jenny:
    (to C.C.)
    I want you to know something…

    Jenny spits in C.C.’s face.

    Jenny:
    I hope you rot in your cell!

    C.C.:
    Did you see that? She just assaulted me! Aren’t you going to do something?

    Det. Miltner:
    I didn’t see anything.

    C.C.:
    THAT’S BULL! YOU BITCH, YOU STUPID BITCH!

    After C.C.’s screaming pleads fade into the police car. Jenny and Carlos watch as they haul C.C. off to jail. From the back of the police car, she mouths “I love you” to Carlos who could only look away in shame.

    The next morning Ava collects her books for a class and gathers her things to leave. She looks at herself in the mirror and smiles. Even though the smile felt forced, she convinced herself that she’s still a good person. Ava opens the door and finds Nate about to knock on it.

    Nate:
    Good timing.

    Ava:
    Yeah I guess.

    Nate:
    I grabbed you a Mocha Latte from the café.

    Ava:
    You shouldn’t have.

    Ava shuts her door to leave. Ava reluctantly grabs the drink and begins to sip on it. She begins to walk in a fast pace to class and Nate follows.

    Ava:
    Is this your idea of leaving me alone?

    Nate:
    Look I feel bad about what I did. It wasn’t my intention to come between you and Sky. I don’t know what you two had but a blind person could see that the girl was controlling. Forget about controlling, she was just down right mean.

    Ava:
    I had no idea how you felt about me. Me falling for Sky was bound to happen. I had my heart broken so of course I was looking for someone else to go after. Hell it could’ve been you.

    Nate:
    Look I didn’t come to judge you or to confess how I feel about you, I just wanted to apologize.

    Ava:
    You have nothing to be sorry about. I’m glad that I came to the conclusion that I was forcing myself to be something that I wasn’t.

    Nate:
    Okay.

    Ava:
    We started out as friends. Let’s just continue with that.

    Nate:
    But I don’t know if I want a friendship with you.

    Ava:
    No confessions. Remember what you said, you aren’t here to tell me how you feel.

    Nate:
    I'm not confessing anything.

    Ava:
    Well I’m just looking to be friends. When I’m ready to go back into a relationship, I’ll let you know.

    Nate:
    Fine.

    Nate stops following her out of frustration. Ava notices it and turns around to face him.

    Ava:
    Thank you though.

    Nate:
    For what?

    Ava:
    For the coffee. It was a nice, friendly gesture.

    Nate smiles at her and Ava smiles back.

    A new girl walks into her new room at Point Palace. She looks around and is happy with what she has chosen. Marli Calloway makes her way to her computer screen.

    Marli:
    Let’s see what I’ve been missing back home.
    (reading)
    Oh my god. He’s been set free. How the hell could a jury set a murderer free?

    Marli begins to have a flashback to when she was driving to a club in Reno, Nevada. She finds the club's parking lot but when she walks to the door she hears something from a far.

    Marli:
    Hello?

    Marli shrugs it off as nothing until she hears a man screaming. Marli continues to walk away even faster. The screaming continues. Marli stops to investigate.

    Marli:
    Anyone there?

    She stops when she sees in another car; three men holding a gun up to another guy behind a truck. The guys were younger, close to her age, but were dressed up in normal college kid clothing. The guy on the other end of the gun had his hands in the air. Marli hides behind a car, trying to call for help. Her fingers were shaking too much.

    Marli:
    (praying in a whisper)
    Please…oh please don’t hurt him.

    A gunshot goes off which scares Marli and makes her scream. Her scream makes the shooters aware that someone was watching them. They begin to look for witnesses. Until Marli’s eyes meet with the main shooter.

    The flashback ends. Marli gets a call on her cell phone, which startles her. She picks it up.

    Marli:
    Hi. I know that your number is blocked. Yeah I’m fine. I’ve settled into a small quaint little school.
    (snickering)
    I’m safe because I’m pretty sure that no one will know who I am. This school seems too quiet.

    In John’s room, John powers on his MAC computer. He starts to review some photos that he was planning on adding to his portfolio.

    John:
    (talking to himself)
    This one definitely will be added to the bunch.

    Behind him, Marissa looks over his shoulder with a glass of red wine in her hand.

    Marissa:
    Oooh that one looks really cool. The way you blended the shadows work for this picture.

    John is startled by Marissa.

    John:
    You scared the crap out of me. I thought you were putting L.J. to bed.

    Marissa:
    I did and I wanted to treat myself to a little snack. I hope you don’t mind me raiding through your wine collection.
    (taking a sip of her Merlot)
    You are a true Snaldry.

    John:
    Why is that? Because I have alcohol?

    Marissa:
    That and because we have class. In speaking of class, how are you balancing everything?

    John:
    Fine I guess. The hardest part is having a relationship.

    Marissa:
    Oh that’s right you do have a girlfriend. Where is she? Why hasn’t she helped out with L.J.? Heck, I haven’t even heard her call.

    John:
    Well mom, she is out of the country. Besides we’re not on the best terms right now.

    John pulls up the first picture he ever took of Alley. It was the first time they met.

    John:
    This is her.

    Marissa:
    She’s pretty.

    John:
    Yeah but we’re just going through some stuff. Some of it has to do with my career and some of it has to do deal with other people.

    Marissa:
    Hopefully everything works out for the best. Don’t worry about the career, I’m working on looking for jobs for you. You’re talented and I have connections. Also, you know I have tons of girls who would just love to go out with you. That is if doesn’t work out with this one.

    John:
    Thanks.

    John hears L.J. crying from the other room.

    John:
    Oh I guess someone’s awake. I’ll go get her. You’ve done enough.

    Marissa looks at the picture of Alley smiling back at her from the screen. Marissa was thinking of every negative aspect she could pin point about her. Bad skin, horrible teeth, ugly hair.

    Marissa:
    (talking to the screen)
    I don’t even know you and already I loathe you.

    Marissa deletes the picture.

    Late afternoon in France, Fernec and Isabelle open their door to a very angry Blake. Behind him was Alley and behind her were two French police officers.

    Fernec:
    What’s going on? Qu'est-ce que c'est d'it?

    Blake:
    Where is she? Where’s Nan?

    Isabelle:
    Who’s Nan?

    Blake:
    London or whomever she’s been scamming you all as.

    Fernec:
    Upstairs. Seriously why are the police here.
    (to the police)
    Monsieur, nous parlons dans private. Oui?

    Blake shoots off for the staircase. Alley walks in to mediate but she can only talk to Isabelle since Fernec was talking to a police officer in French.

    Alley:
    A very bad person has been impersonating London.

    Isabelle is shocked. Upstairs, Nan heard all of the commotion. Her bags were already packed. Just in case something was to go wrong, which of course had happened, she was prepared.

    Blake:
    (screaming)
    You in here you little bitch? I know you are!

    Blake violently knocks on the door.

    Blake:
    Give it up. On the count of three I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll break this door down. One…Two…Three!

    Blake busts into the room.

    Back in Point Palace, Will’s door is wide open as he chats with Lenvy. She walks closer to him. He smiles at her.

    Lenvy:
    How’ve you been?

    Will:
    Let’s see. Your dear friend put a hit out on me with the girl I fell for. The same girl who got me over you.

    Lenvy:
    You’re not completely over me though.

    Will:
    I never will be.

    Lenvy:
    So she wasn’t the one. There are other fish in the sea.

    Alicia notices Will talking to himself.

    Alicia:
    Will?

    Will is embarrassed when he comes to.

    Will:
    I was rehearsing something for a play.

    Alicia:
    Oh so you’re a theater major?

    Will:
    Yeah. Something like that. What can I do for you?

    Alicia:
    I was bored and thought I’d say hello.

    Will:
    Bored? Isn’t Jace keeping you busy?

    Alicia:
    Jace is in the shower.

    Jace pops up behind her wrapped up in a towel that displayed his toned midriff.

    Jace:
    Actually I’m done.
    (to Will)
    What’s going on here?

    Will:
    Nothing. Just chilling.

    Alicia:
    I was actually trying to wrangle up a three way.

    Jace:
    Well I’m up for it if Will is.

    Will:
    Um…what?

    Jace begins to remove his towel before laughing.

    Jace:
    She does that to all of the neighbors.

    Will:
    Wow you two had me going there.

    Alicia:
    Don’t look too much into it.

    Jace:
    We came to tell you about a party that’s going on tomorrow night. At least that’s why I think Alicia was here to tell you. The whole place is going to be banging.

    Will:
    I’ll be there. Thanks for getting my hopes up you two.

    Will watches as Jace and Alicia leave.

    Will:
    (thinking to himself)
    If she turns around she likes me.

    Alicia turns around and winks at him. He shuts his door and laughs. Meanwhile, Jace pulls Alicia aside to confront her.

    Jace:
    What the hell was that?

    Alicia:
    Am I not allowed to have fun or be friendly? He seems like a cool guy.

    Jace grabs her by her hips and pushes her into the wall of the common area.

    Jace:
    I don’t ever want to see you flirting with another guy like that again! You know what it does to me.

    Alicia shakes her head to agree. Jace begins to forcefully kiss her.

    Alley rushes into the bedroom to find it empty. All of Nan’s things, including herself, were gone. Blake begins to pace back and forth.

    Blake:
    Why did you let her get away?

    Alley:
    I wanted you to see it for yourself.

    Blake:
    Of course. This makes sense. Nan wouldn’t be dead and London wouldn't be alive.

    Alley:
    If it means anything I gave her a good fight. It was your idea to get the police involved and she deserves to go to jail, I just guess we were too late. I’m sorry.

    Blake:
    I am too. I feel even sorrier for Nan because when I find her, I don’t know what I’ll do.

    Outside of Fernec’s chateau, Nan had climbed her way out of the two story window, just in time to escape from Blake finding her. The fall was silent. She begins to walk away until she is stopped by a guard.

    Guard:
    Excusez-moi mademoiselle.

    Nan:
    (faking a southern accent)
    I’m sorry I don’t parlez the French. Is there something going on in there?

    Guard:
    Je ne’sais pas. Mon anglais est mal.

    Nan:
    I best be going. Y’all have a beautiful country.
    (butchering the French language)
    Au’revoir.

    Guard:
    Oui. Continuez.

    Nan:
    (muttering)
    Jackass!

    Nan begins to hurry along with her bags in hand. She smiles and laughs along the way before turning around to face the chateau.

    Nan:
    See you at home bitches!

    Nan blows a kiss goodbye. She disappears into the crowd of people.

    In Dylan’s room, Carrie continues to bounce up and down under the sheets of his bed. The two hadn’t been able to be intimate for a while so their sexual rendezvous was in much need. Dylan begins to moan in ecstasy before climaxing.

    Dylan:
    Oh that was amazing.

    Carrie:
    (kissing his neck)
    Tell me about it.

    Dylan:
    I don’t know about you but I need a shower.

    Carrie:
    Do you want me to join you?

    Dylan:
    You can if you want.

    Carrie:
    Actually I need to get going.

    Dylan:
    I see how it is. Hit and split.

    Carrie:
    (sarcastic)
    Yeah that’s exactly what it is.

    Dylan makes his way into the shower. He turns the water on and steps in.

    Carrie:
    I love you and I’ll call you later okay?

    Dylan:
    What?

    Carrie:
    (screaming)
    I love you.

    Dylan stops the shower and gets out. He begins to towel off. Until he freezes with horror after noticing something on his body.

    Casting News

    By Matt P.,

    The biggest, baddest, witch of Point Palace is back! Lorena Chacon reprises her role as the evil Nan Sheridan. Last seen during the Gala Explosion, Nan's character was supposed to be brought back in a huge way, says Point Palace creator Matt Politylo.

    "First off it's Nan Sheridan. Second she's capable of anything. What a way to come back to start up the ongoing war that she has had with her nemesis Blake Hammerton (Daniel Cosgrove). Blake isn't going to be the only vendetta that Nan wants to go up against. Later in the season, we'll see a Jenny (Geneva Hyman) versus Nan storyplot."

    The cast list has been set but another character from Season 4 is leaving the campus. Deborah Zoe who started playing soap opera actress C.C. Chastity in Season 3 just taped her last episode. It has been revealed that C.C.'s character was the one who killed Nick (Mike Dietz) from Season 4. Zoe and the show left on good terms with the possibility of a return in the future.

    Previously on Point Palace:

    - Sky forces Ava to choose between her and Nate.

    - Alexia and Tanisha found out that Owen was kidnapped by their mother and Alexia decided to stay home but Tanisha wants a long distance relationship.

    - John is informed that his sister is coming to town.
    - Detective Miltner got a valuable piece of evidence and knows who killed Nick.
    - Alley went to confront London about her leaving only to find that someone has been impersonating her.

    - - -
    Alley walks into what was supposedly the rented bedroom belonging to London. Alley had to do a double take because she was in shock. Standing before her was Nan Sheridan, dressed up in parts as London.

    Alley:
    Well don’t you know how to make a lovely entrance.

    Nan:
    Alley it’s always so nice to see a bitch like you. Please note the sarcasm in my voice.

    Alley:
    This makes sense. In some sick and twisted way, this was what I knew would happen all along. There’s no way that London could be alive. But you…you’re just full of endless possibilities.

    Nan:
    Really? How do you know that? How the hell are you so sure of everything?

    Alley:
    You’re still screwed up and what’s even better is that you’re dead. Everyone back at Point Palace thought you died.

    Nan:
    Everyone back at Point Palace, are stupid lowlifes. Just like yourself.

    Alley:
    After what you did you’re the one stupid enough to get caught. You’re even stupider for showing up alive.

    Nan:
    You’re the only one who knows that but I’m sure you’ll go and run that big mouth of yours. Just like you had to go and tell Blake that Will was the father of my baby. Since we’re dwelling on the past, Will did cheat on you and impregnated me right?

    Alley:
    And if we’re digging even further. I remember that I kicked your ass then.

    Nan:
    You’d like to think that. Why couldn’t you be a part of my explosion? It certainly caused a few sparks so to speak.

    Alley:
    Somehow fate has just brought me to you.

    Nan laughs at Alley’s comeback. Nan looks at herself in the mirror, away from Alley, smiling as she continues to peel the fake skin off of her face.

    Nan:
    It’s so real isn’t it? Money can buy such nice things. Like the life of your ex’s lover. It certainly fooled Blake.

    Alley:
    Well it didn’t fool me.

    Nan:
    You’re always coming to Blake’s defense. When will you two realize that you mean so much more to each other than you really let on. Seriously, you want to talk about fate? You two deadbeats deserve each other, always have and you always will. This is like freshmen year all over again.

    Alley:
    If that’s the case, then I’ll kick your ass again!

    Alley forcefully pulls Nan’s hair and begins to shake her back and forth. Nan turns around and slaps Alley across the face, not once, but twice with a backhand. Nan grabs onto Alley’s hair as the two begin to struggle. Alley throws Nan into a dresser drawer. Alley grabs onto Nan’s shirt and spins her around the room. When she let’s go, the shirt rips, and Nan falls into her “London” makeup. Nan pulls the “London” wig and whips Alley across the face with it. Alley shields her face before kicking Nan in her shin. When she goes to kick Nan again, Nan grabs onto her leg, and throws her into a dresser. Alley stands up and throws a few of the small makeup kits that were on a shelf. Nan retaliates by picking up a small wooden chair and hitting Alley in the back making her go down.

    While the action was unfolding upstairs, Fernec and Isabelle wait patiently downstairs.

    Isabelle:
    Qu’est-ce que c’est d’it?

    Fernec:
    Mes amis, London has a friend over.

    Isabelle:
    Oh la la. I guess it’s a reunion.

    Fernec:
    Oui.

    The couple continue to sit on their couch reading a medical journal. After hearing a loud crash from upstairs they both look at each other.

    Fernec:
    I’ll go see what’s going on.

    Back upstairs the girls roll across the bed, pulling each other’s hair. Alley grabs a pillow and whacks Nan in the head with it. She then tries smothering Nan with the pillow. Nan bites her hand and kicks her off of the bed but Alley grabs her hair to take her with down with her. When they both fall to the ground, Nan sits on top of Alley, strangling her.

    Nan:
    Why won’t you die?

    Alley gasps for air while Alley is on top of her, strangling her. Blindly, she looks for something to hit Nan with. She feels a wire from another dresser drawer. Alley tugs the wire and an electric alarm clock hits Nan in the head. The girls stop fighting, Alley coughs and Nan tries consoling her head. Just then, Fernec comes into the room.

    Fernec:
    What the fu-

    Alley:
    She did it!

    Alley tries attacking Nan again but Nan hides her true face from Fernec.

    Alley:
    Don’t worry the police and especially Blake will know about everything you did. I’ll make sure of it.
    (to Fernec)
    Sorry about your home.

    Alley exits. Still not getting a good look at Nan, Fernec begins to clean up.

    Fernec:
    Are you okay madame?

    Nan:
    (in London’s voice)
    Please…just leave me alone. I need some time to myself.

    Fernec exits. Nan laughs at what had just happened.

    Nan:
    Just wait Point Palace…the big bad bitch is back!


    Nan laughs in an evil way while looking at herself in the broken mirror. - - -

    Back at Point Palace University, Ava paces back and forth in her own room. Sky has her hands on her hips, waiting for an answer, and Nate was just as curious. Ava was speechless, until opening her mouth.

    Ava:
    (sighing)
    I don’t know. I can’t choose.

    Sky:
    What? The answer should be easy babe. You want me and only me!

    Nate:
    Maybe she doesn’t want to be bossed around anymore. In that case she would be better if she were with me.

    Sky:
    (to Nate)
    Maybe we were doing just fine until you barged in.

    Ava:
    Stop. Seriously just stop. When I say I don’t know I truly mean it. Maybe I don’t want to be a-

    Ava stops herself from what she was about to say.

    Sky:
    Be a what…a lesbian?

    Ava:
    That’s not what I was going to say.

    Sky:
    It sure sounded like it.

    Nate:
    Why don’t you give her room to speak Sky? It’s always what you want and what you feel that counts.

    Sky:
    Shut your mouth.
    (to Ava)
    Go on babe. Whatever you have to say I’m here for you.

    Ava looks away from Sky.

    Ava:
    I’ve been doing so much thinking lately and I don’t think that I can go on like this any longer. Sky I’m not a lesbian. I was just someone who was confused and I felt obligated to go out with you. Who wouldn’t want to? You helped me out with so much. You were the one who got me over James and you saved my life.

    Sky:
    Where is this all coming from? I don’t get it.

    Ava:
    I’m sorry Sky. I don’t want to be with you.

    Sky:
    (hurt)
    What? But…

    Nate:
    I think I should go.

    Ava:
    No stay.

    Sky:
    You’re seriously leaving me for him? A man? Someone who can’t treat you like I can. I know what you need and what you want. Do you think he can do that for you? Have fun worrying about what kind of herpes you might be infested with.

    Ava:
    I was going to tell Nate that I only like him as a friend. I’m not in love or in like with anyone.

    Nate:
    I understand.

    Sky:
    I don’t! I really did fall for you.

    Ava:
    Please…I’m sorry. I really am.

    Sky:
    Yeah.
    (looking at Nate)
    You will be.

    Sky exits Ava’s room, slamming the door behind her. The slam makes Ava shiver a bit. Nate looks at her.

    Nate:
    I-

    Ava:
    Look I just want to be alone. Please respect my decision.

    Nate takes her hand and rubs it. He smiles at her to show her that he agrees with her. Nate lets go and exits, leaving Ava to be alone.

    To get his mind off of Mika and to make it look like he’s truly dead, Will moves into a new apartment on a different side of campus. He begins to lodge into his new room. It was just what he needed, a change in scenery. Will was also dawning a somewhat new look, his hair was shorter, and he had died his hair burgundy red. Just in case a member from the Yakuza were looking for him but to them he was dead.

    Will
    Just what I need. A new change of scenery.

    Will opens the door of the lobby to go back outside for more stuff but instead runs into an attractive female. She smiles at him and he smiles at her.

    Will:
    Can I help you?

    Alicia:
    Sure you can get out of my way.

    Will:
    You’re Australian?

    Alicia:
    Yeah what gave it away mate? I should’ve thrown a boomerang at you.

    Will:
    You’re funny. My name is Will Pazner. And you are?

    From upstairs one of Will’s neighbors walk down the steps. Will begins to size him up.

    Jace:
    I’m Jace Broyeau. Nice to meet you Will.

    Will:
    I take it you’re a neighbor?

    Jace:
    Yeah we are but I won’t be asking for sugar anytime soon.

    Jace makes his way towards Alicia and begins to hold her in his arms.

    Jace:
    I get that from this one.

    Alicia:
    I’m his girlfriend. Alicia Amberson. And we don't live together so don't get that thought in your head.

    Jace:
    Not yet at least.

    Will:
    (to Alicia)
    What part of Australia are you from?

    Alicia:
    Melbourne.

    Jace:
    (to Will)
    Do you need any help moving in?

    Will:
    No I think I’ll be just fine. It was nice meeting you and I’m sure we’ll be hanging out soon.

    Jace:
    Yeah we’re going to turn this into a huge party house.

    Alicia:
    (sarcastic)
    Just look out for Jace when he drinks, he can become a wild one.

    Jace snickers at his girlfriend’s comment.

    Will:
    That’s my kind of drinking buddy.

    Jace motions for Alicia to follow him upstairs. She does. Will watches them walking away, hoping for Alicia to look back at him. Will laughs it off and continues to unpack in his apartment.

    Will:
    Boyfriends mean nothing to me.

    Will begins to laugh in an evil way. He turns around and runs into Lenvy.

    John walks back to his room from an early class. He looks at the mail that he retrieved from his mail box. Nothing really seemed to interest him. John pulls out his keys to open his door. Until he notices that the door was open.

    John:
    What the hell?

    John slowly opens the door to investigate the scene. His room was just the way he left it. Maybe he forgot to lock his door he thinks to himself.

    John:
    I must be losing my mind.

    Before sitting down on his couch to relax, John is startled by a girl walking around in a towel from his bathroom.

    John:
    Oh my god! Marissa?

    Marissa:
    John you’re back!

    John:
    What are you doing here? Are you using my shower?

    Marissa:
    Yeah, I hope you don’t mind. I got in and needed to take a hot one. But I think I might’ve used up all of the warm water. Sorry.

    John:
    How did you get into my place? I thought that I locked it.

    Marissa:
    You did but you know me. I’m able to pick any lock.

    John:
    You’re lucky that you’re my sister. That’s called breaking and entering.

    Marissa:
    We’re family. Besides I thought that you knew I was on my way. I told Guy to inform you.

    John:
    He did inform me. He just didn’t tell me when.

    Marissa:
    You’re okay with me staying here for a few days?

    John:
    Yeah sure. It’s just going to be a packed room. What with my girlfriend and L.J.

    Marissa:
    Oh yeah I forgot all about that. I’m an aunt. Where is she?

    John:
    She’s with my sitter who helps me when I’m in classes.

    John gets a knock on his door.

    John:
    That should be her right now.

    Marissa:
    Cool, let me get it.

    Marissa answers the door. The sitter is surprised to see a woman in a towel. Marissa takes baby L.J. from her.

    Marissa:
    (to the sitter)
    Don’t worry we won’t be needing your services anymore. You’ll get paid as soon as possible. Thanks.

    Marissa shuts the door with her other hand and smiles back at John who is dumbfounded.

    Marissa:
    (looking at L.J.)
    She’s beautiful. It’s because she’s a Snaldry.

    John:
    I- You- But-

    Marissa:
    Hey you're big sis is here to help. Instead of staying a few days, I think it will be best if I stay for a few weeks. You’re going to need help raising this little girl. We’ll be one happy family. I’m sure your girlfriend will understand that too. Can’t wait to meet her.

    At The Palace Café, Dylan and Carrie go up to the counter to order drinks. They are happy to see Ginny who looks like she’s been having a long day.

    Ginny:
    What can I get you two?

    Dylan:
    Just a small coffee for me.

    Carrie:
    Same. You look like you need a break.

    Ginny:
    Oh I do. We’re short staffed and they’re thinking about bumping me up to manager.

    Dylan:
    You truly deserve it.

    Ginny:
    Thanks guys so tell your friends if you know anyone who needs a job. It’s fun and it pays okay. Okay?

    Dylan:
    Will do.

    Ginny hands them their drinks. The two find a table.

    Carrie:
    Maybe I should start working here. I feel like I have way too much time on my hands.

    Dylan:
    I thought you were worried about leaving town.

    Carrie:
    Do you really want to follow me to Lexington? Deal with Juliana and Victor?

    Dylan:
    Honestly, after everything that happened. No…not really.

    Carrie:
    I kind of need a break from them too. I’ll call Juliana later and break the news to her. Now I think I’m going to apply for that job.

    Dylan and Carrie stand up. Dylan winces in pain after he feels a shooting pain near his stomach.

    Carrie:
    Are you okay?

    Dylan winces again. He places his hands near his stomach.

    Dylan:
    I guess. I just felt like my stomach was hurting. I’m sure it was nothing.

    Bryan gets a phone call from Nan. He begins to talk to her while taking the glass elevator to The River Teal.

    Bryan:
    All I have to do is convince Lanoi and Benjamin to accept my offer then the school’s mine.

    Nan:
    Good luck. Just remember that I’m dead but that can all change.

    Bryan:
    (joking)
    Believe me, I’m putting all of the blame on you.

    Nan:
    I'll come back and kill you myself if you do. See you soon.

    Bryan hangs up with Nan and makes his way to the table. He puts the fakest smile on his face that he could.

    Bryan:
    Lanoi, Benjamin, it’s so nice to see you. Thank you for coming.

    Lanoi:
    There are still a few loose ends that we need to tie with up with you Bryan.

    Benjamin:
    Like what happened with the explosion.

    Bryan:
    That was just a misunderstanding. I had no idea that Nan was going to do what she did. Besides she’s long gone and I felt threatened. I felt like no one was on my side so that’s why I wanted to take a break from this place.

    Lanoi:
    You’re saying that you didn’t try framing Blake?

    Bryan:
    Am I really capable of such a thing?

    Lanoi:
    Yes.

    Bryan:
    No. The answer is no. We all know that Hammerton wanted a lie to get me out. It’s politics and he fights dirty.

    Benjamin:
    We were also give wind of the fact that you were in his office recently. From Mister Colby.

    Bryan:
    Again another Hammerton pusher. Dylan threatened me. I’m sure he left that part out though.

    Benjamin:
    We weren’t aware of that. Please Bryan just state your business.

    Bryan throws his check in the amount of ten million dollars out on the table.

    Bryan:
    This is for you two. You can split it however you like. All you have to do is have me replace Hammerton. He’s been away for so long that I don’t think he cares about the school anymore. Unlike me. This is a very legitimate and very legal way of doing things. Hell I’d call it professional.

    Benjamin and Lanoi look at each other.

    Bryan:
    The choice is yours.

    In France, Blake gets ready for a romantic evening with London. While he gets ready in his hotel room, he’s on his cell phone talking to Alexia.

    Blake:
    I know I’ll miss you too. I hope that you, Owen, and you’re family are okay. Yeah. It’s a miracle that she’s alive. Stop in and say hi at anytime. You’re the best at what you do, I’m sure you’ll get hired for some sort of party. Take care.

    Blake puts his phone in his pocket and begins to leave. He opens the door to find Alley with a stoic look on her face.

    Blake:
    Hey what’s wrong?

    Alley:
    I think you need to sit down for this.

    Blake:
    Actually I can’t I’m getting ready to see London. This time I’m going to convince her to come home.

    Alley:
    That’s what I need to talk to you about.

    Blake:
    (confused)
    What?

    Alley:
    I saw London earlier.

    Blake:
    Yeah?

    For a moment Alley could see how much in love he still was with the idea of London being alive.

    Alley:
    You look nice Blake.

    Blake:
    I know when you’re stalling. Just spit it out. What’s wrong with London?

    Late at night in Carlos’s room. Carlos gets ready to sleep yet again by himself. Before he goes to bed he makes a phone call to Jenny. Knowing full well that she wasn't allowed calls, he left a message for her that he knew she would receive.

    Carlos:
    Hey chica. I miss you and just wanted to say that I love you. Sleep well okay? Bye.

    Carlos hangs up the phone and takes off his shirt before slipping into bed. He then gets a knock at his door. He answers it but is not happy when he finds C.C. before him dressed in a white trench coat.

    Carlos:
    What are you doing here?

    C.C.:
    I figured you’d be lonely. Do you maybe want to watch a movie or something? We could order a sexy thriller that I starred in.

    Carlos:
    You’re ridiculous. Get out of here.

    C.C.:
    No! I want you to admit that you want me.

    Carlos:
    I’m admitting nothing to you. My heart is with one girl and because of certain circumstances I can’t be with her. Now go before I call the cops.

    Carlos turns around to slam the door in her face. She quietly opens it and lets herself in his room. He doesn’t hear her but punches him in the back of the head. Carlos falls down. C.C. begins to drag him to his bedroom.

    C.C.:
    Fine have it your way. We’ll do things kinky.

    Carlos wakes up a few minutes later and finds himself tied to his bed. He then sees C.C. dressed in a shiny black dominatrix outfit.

    Carlos:
    Let me go!

    C.C.:
    Not until you give me what I want.

    With her whip in hand she slowly inches her way towards his crotch.

    C.C.:
    Looks like someone’s waking up.

    Carlos:
    You’re so sick!

    C.C.:
    Sick in love.

    C.C. straddles Carlos and begins to kiss him. There really wasn’t much he couldn’t do to avoid her. All of a sudden the door is busted into and Jenny pushes C.C. off of Carlos.

    Jenny:
    Get your slutty hands off of my boyfriend you murderer!

    Season 5 Casting News

    By Matt P.,

    On the newest season of Point Palace, more faces join the campus as permanent cast members and supporting characters. Ex-Neighbours star and Australian singer Holly Valance stars as Alicia Amberson but she will not be alone. Alicia's character has an on screen boyfriend named Jace Broyeu played by film star Matthew Lawrence. Executive Producer Matt Politylo comments on the new couple:

    "Jace and Alicia are actually based on something that happened to me when I was in college. Expect there to be a love triangle with another character that will have wicked results."

    Two new females join the canvas as well. Heard from the lips of the other Snaldry sibling, The Bold and The Beautiful star Lesli Kay will be coming on as John's (Ryan Gaus) diva sister Marissa Snaldry who makes sure to get involved in all aspects of her brother's life. The other female star is Passions’s Danica Stewart. Stewart's character, Marli Calloway, has a mysterious past and will be a love interest to a main character. Originally General Hospital star Julie Behrman was rumored to have the part.

    Past faces have returned. As previously reported, Bryan Daniels's (James Franco) contract with the show has been upgraded. Bryan will be a permanent fixture in Season 5 and with that will be going after control of the school just like before. Sarah Lancaster returns to double duty when her dead character Lenvy Elliot comes back as an inspirational ghost figure to visit Will Pazner (Jim Carnicela). Lancaster is happy to play the teen angel again but was quoted with saying that Carrie will be seen more than Lenvy.

    Departing cast members include Owen Newlan (Matt DiAngelo) and Alexia Newlan (Nectar Rose). Both characters were written off but could be seen for some school visits along the way. After all, Alexia is an amazing party planner. Mika Tomukuzai’s (Joy Bisco) character has also vanished in the darkness only because Mika was pinned for just one season. Tanisha Jones (Davetta Sherwood) will stay on but only as a supporting character.

    The new season will bring new cliffhangers, new couples, and all new mysteries. Check it out when Point Palace premieres on Tuesday January 14th.

    Season 4 Run Down

    By Matt P.,

    Point Palace creator Matt Politylo gets to the heart of how he felt about season four. He talks about what he thought was the high points, the low points, and everything else in between.

    Season 4 started out with a bang. How could it have gone any other way? It was Nan's revenge but it was sad to see her go. All I have to say is that it's totally in her fashion to do something like that. The aftermath of the explosion was slow at first and definitely a tragedy. The reason for killing off Brandon and Trella was because if they were alive, then Will would've gone to jail. I had to save Will and of course make him lose the one he loved most. His goodbye was so heartfelt and of course it made him go over the deep end only to find Mika. The Mika plot was fun because I've always wanted to do a spy theme. In Season 5, Will returns to his true form.

    The Owen kidnapping plot was slow for a reason. I wanted it to showcase how desperate Alexia could be about hiding a secret. I thought the ending for the two with Christina being the kidnapper to teach her daughter a lesson was sweet. Originally Owen was to choose Tanisha over Ginny and they were to be written out as was Alexia who was going to live with Christina. Out of the blue, I got an idea to make some sort of mystery that would bring the three together.

    One of my favorite plots was Carrie's plot. This was designed with the original creator of the DiMarco's. We went back and forth with what we could do but after I told him that I wanted Carrie to be Juliana's daughter, he thought it was great and I knew it was a go. The next season will be focusing more on Dylan and his family but will of course lead them to the DiMarco's. It was very macabre when Carrie and Victor realized that they were family who slept together.

    Nick was a big villain this season. So much more than before. He brainwashed Jenny and then rapes her. This also brought along a gruesome foursome with C.C. and Carlos being in the mix. C.C. was a Nan copy but with a fouler mouth and a sluttier repetoire. Writing the rape scene was tough to do so that's why I wanted him dead. He had it coming and it racked up a bunch of suspects. As well as tons of catfights and fistfights. Which are always fun to write.

    Ava's character was really drawn out this season. She was so hurt over the loss of James that she almost killed herself by going back to her alcoholic ways. Sky saving her was supposted to jump start their relationship but I wanted Ava to be weary about everything. Player Nate having an STD and sleeping with girl after girl was only to lead him to Ava. He needed to see the error of his ways and wants to start a new with Ava. Unfortunately this had to lead to a fun bi-sexual love triangle. Originally it was going to by Sky but that wouldn't have worked out since Sky wasn't in as much pain as Ava had endured.

    Blake losing London had to be done. I needed John and Blake to fight with each other so of course it had to be over London's daughter L.J. What I also enjoyed was that Alley was caught in the middle. She loves John but is always there for her best friend. The original season finale was going to be Alley caught in a fire with baby L.J. that she accidentally started, making it look like she wanted to kill John's daughter. I thought that would be too much so when London returned, she got the last scene.

    Next season will be a combo of Seasons 3 and 4. There will be long drawn out mysteries, new characters, but of course fast plots. "As always, stay tuned."
