Heaven's Meadow Season 1 - Episode Sixteen "Strike Three, You're Out" This episode features: Susan Lucci as Erica Kane Kassie DePaiva as Blair Cramer Andrew Trischitta as Jack Manning Christian Alexander as Billy Jackson Peter Porte as James Catherine Hickland as Lindsay Rappaport Michael E. Knight as Tad Martin Vail Bloom as Brianna Emerson with Jerry ver Dorn as Clint Buchanan Kelly Ripa as Hayley Vaughan and Robin Chistopher as Skye Chandler PREVIOUSLY on HEAVEN'S MEADOW: Hayley realizes she had an alcohol-infused one night stand and finds herself on the ledge. Jack told Blair he had a boyfriend. Lucas has a prisoner. Skye has a secret. The mystery woman changes her plan. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Hayley: James: (Hayley is standing on the ledge. Tears are streaming down her face. Her entire body shakes as she looks down at the road 23 stories below her. She inhales sharply and reaches one hand behind her, grabbing the railing. With her other hand, she raises the bottle of vodka to her lips and takes a sip. Her hands shaking uncontrollably, a large splash of vodka splashes onto her chin and robe. Sobbing, she throws the bottle behind her and hears as it smashes on the balcony. She wipes the makeup soaked tears from her eyes one last time, and lets go of the railing. Just as she begins to lose her balance, a hand reaches out and grabs her arm, steadying her.) James: You can't do this, Hayley. (She turns to look at him through her blurry, tear soaked eyes.) Hayley: Oh, don't pretend to care.You don't even know me. James: Maybe not, butI know damn well that I'm not about to let you jump off of this ledge. (He reaches out and wraps his arms around her waist, lifting her over the railing and back onto the balcony.) Hayley: Leave it to me to have a one night stand with someone that actually gives a damn. James: You honestly expected me to let you jump? Hayley: I didn't expect you to be awake. James: Well, thank God I was. Hayley: Just because you pulled me off of one ledge doesn't mean I won't find another. James: Look, I don't know what's going on in your life, but I know that this isn't the answer. Hayley: You're damn right. You don't know anything about my life. You have no idea what I go through every single day. And you have no business interfering in my personal life. James: You can say whatever you want, but I don't have to know you. I don't have to know you, to know this isn't the answer. My mother killed herself when I was 5 years old, and it has haunted me for my entire life. And I know who you are, Hayley. I know you have children at home. And I'm not letting you do to them what my mother did to me. I'm not letting you take the coward's way out. (Hayley slaps him across the face.) Hayley: Don't you ever call me a coward. How dare you. (At this point, tears are once again streaming down her face. She stumbles away from him, and inadvertently walks barefoot directly through the shattered glass on the ground. She winces in pain as blood begins trailing from her foot.) (James moves towards her.) James: Let me help you. (Hayley looks up at him, a mixture of pain and hatred in her eyes.) Hayley: You stay away from me. (She limps backwards throw the doorway and into the hotel room. She grabs her purse from the chair, as well as her clothes from the ground, and stumbles from the room wearing nothing but a silk robe and her underwear.) _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ OPENING CREDITS: _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Blair: Jack: Billy: (Inside Skye's club. Blair is standing with Jack and Billy.) Blair: Excuse me? Jack: This is Billy. He's my boyfriend. Billy: It's nice to meet yo-- (Blair cuts him off.) Blair: Jack, I don't have time for your games. I have a lot going on right now. Jack: Mom, this isn't a game. Blair: You were livid at me for sending you to boarding school, and even more angry that you had to stay for the summer program. And what do you do? You skip school and pull a stunt like this. Jack: This isn't a joke, Mom. Blair: You expect me to believe that you're gay? You expect me to believe that you skipped school and hitch-hiked to New Hampshire to tell me that you're gay? Jack: Yes. Blair: Well, I don't believe you. (Her voice cracks. She turns and walks away from them, to the other side of the room. She picks up a stack of papers, and begins fumbling through them. Jack moves towards her.) Jack: Mom, please. I need you to-- (Blair swivels around and cuts him off.) Blair: Why now? If this is true - Why now? In the middle of your summer term, you show up and tell me you have a boyfriend? You could have waited a few weeks until I visited. But you expect me to believe your story, when you show up here and drop a bombshell like this? I know you, Jack. You're up to something. (Jack is chocked up. He swallows the lump in his throat and chokes back tears.) Jack: Mom, I couldn't take it anymore. Blair: Take what? Jack: The bullying. (Blair is visibly taken aback by this. Blair and Jack lock eyes for a moment. Tears well up once more in Jack's eyes, and he turns away from his mother. He walks several feet to the other side of the room and sits at an empty table. Billy, still standing by the door, glances towards Jack, and then Blair. He moves across the room towards Blair.) Billy: Jack and I met in chemistry class this past year. We became friends instantly, and eventually it progressed to more. I've been openly gay for about a year now, and once Jack and I became close, he felt comfortable enough with me to admit that he had been doubting his sexual orientation. Blair: And you just swooped right in and took advantage of that? (Jack stands, visibly angered by this remark.) Jack: NO! Billy: I never came onto Jack. But once he accepted it, we began to explore our feelings for one another. Blair: Jack, when did you start having these...feelings? Jack: Last year...For Shane. I know I treated him horribly, and that's why. When my friends started bullying him, I hated it. Because from the minute that I met him, I felt...something. Of course I was in denial about it, and so I started bullying him harder than anyone else so that no one would know. But I hated it, because I had...feelings for him. Everything that I did was to cover that up. (Blair sighs and rests her head in her hand for a long moment.) Blair: Well, what is this that you said about bullying? Jack: It was late at night, and Billy and I were down by the water. We shared a kiss, but we didn't know anyone was around. Apparently one of the guys from the football team saw, and he told everyone. The next day I came back to my room after class and someone had broken in. My room had been completely trashed, and they spray painted... (He stops.) Blair: What, Jack? They spray painted what? Jack: They spray painted the word fag on my wall. (Blair is visibly horrified. A look of sheer heartbreak spreads across her face. In that moment, all denial that she had was wiped completely out of her.) Blair: You're serious. Billy: He is. Blair: Why didn't you tell me this sooner?! Jack: I didn't tell anyone, Mom. It would have only made things worse. But I couldn't handle it any more. The harassment was too much. Everywhere I went, they would call me names and mock me. I know I deserve it, after what I did to Shane...But I couldn't handle it, Mom. (Blair stands. There are tears in her eyes now. She moves towards Jack, who also stands. She embraces him tightly for a long moment.) Blair: I'm so, so sorry baby. Everything's going to be okay. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Tad: Lindsay: (Inside Lindsay's apartment. She is standing near the door, with Tad. There is a suitcase next to her.) Tad: I can't believe I just got back, and now you have to leave. Lindsay: I know, but there's just something that I need to take care of. And now that you're officially living here, we'll see each other so much more. No more back and forth to Pine Valley. (Tad smiles.) Tad: Thank God. (The two kiss.) Tad: Where are you going again? Lindsay: To Seattle, to see my sister. She's had some crisis or another, and asked me to come see her. Always the drama queen, that Melanie.I'll be back in two days, okay? There's food in the refrigerator for you, and plenty of towels in the linen closet. Oh, and-- Tad: Lindsay, I'll be fine! Go! Before you miss your flight. (The two kiss again. Lindsay grabs her suitcase from the ground. She opens the door, and steps into the hall, closing the door behind her. Tad moves across the room and has a seat on the couch. He reaches for the remote, but before he can turn the TV on, his phone rings. He picks his phone up off of the end table and looks at the caller ID: "Call from: Dixie Martin" Lindsay stands in the hallway. She opens her purse and takes out her plane ticket. It reads: DESTINATION: Pine Valley, Pennsylvania. She speaks quietly to herself.) Lindsay: I hate lying to you, Tad. But it's time I pay an old friend a visit. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hayley: Brianna: Lucas: Skye: Clint: Erica: (Inside the WAVE Studios. Hayley sneaks in through a side entrance, still wearing nothing but underwear and the long silk robe - which is now tied. She creeps down the hallway and towards her dressing room. When she gets to her dressing room, she is surprised to see the door already open. She peers in and spots Brianna packing things into a large cardboard box. She enters the room.) Hayley: What the hell are you doing? (Brianna looks up, visibly stunned to see Hayley there.) Brianna: Hayley...We didn't expect you to show up today. It's so late already. Hayley: Don't deflect the subject Brianna. What the hell are you doing in my dressing room? Brianna: I shouldn't be the one to tell you this... (Before Brianna can finish, Hayley storms out of the room and down the hall into the large open room containing the set on which the show is filmed, as well as the camera crew, snack table and makeup touch up table. She spots Lucas on the other side of the room and marches towards him.) Hayley: Lucas, what the hell is going on here? Why is Brianna packing things in my office? Lucas: Hayley, I...I'm so sorry. Hayley: Sorry for what? Lucas! What the hell are you talking about? Lucas: You missed another day of taping, Hayley. I tried to defend you, I did. But...they've decided to let you go. (A look of utter confusion spreads across Hayley's face for a long moment. Slowly, it morphs into realization, and then anger. Before she can continue speaking, Skye enters the room through a set of double doors across from where Hayley is standing.) Hayley: You! You did this, didn't you?! You bitch. I asked you not to say anything. (Skye looks genuinely sympathetic.) Skye: I didn't do anything Hayley. This is out of my control. Hayley: No, I don't believe you. No, you did this! You hypocritical bitch. I asked you. I begged you not to do this to me. I should have known you couldn't change. (Before Skye can speak, Clint enters the room and begins speaking.) Clint: Skye had nothing to do with it, Hayley. This was my decision. (Hayley turns around slowly to face him.) Hayley: Excuse me? Clint: Your erratic behavior won't be tolerated anymore Hayley. It isn't benefiting the show or anyone involved, especially you. I'm very sorry, but you are being let go. (Hayley slaps him across the face with all the force she has, leaving nail marks across his cheeks.) Hayley: You bastard! You came to me. You came to me and told me you respected me, that you respected that this is MY show. But that was just a lie. It was nothing but a lie....You are just like the rest of them. Clint: I know you're upset, Hayley. But this is your own doing. (Tears well up in Hayley's eyes and cascade down her cheeks. She turns to storm out of the room but spots Erica Kane standing across the room. An evil glint fills her eyes as marches towards her. She shrieks.) Hayley: YOU! This was your plan all along, wasn't it? Swoop in here and steal my show because you're such a complete failure yourself. I should have known better than to trust you. You truly are the shallow bitch everyone makes you out to be, Erica. Erica: You should know I would never do that to you, Hayley. Hayley: But you did. You did do it, Erica. You slutted your way through Pine Valley for 40 years, and once that well was dried up you decided to swoop in here and cash in on your own daughters death, at my expense. (Tears well in Erica's eyes. Hayley opens her mouth to speak again, but Skye steps forward and in-between Erica and Hayley. She speaks.) Skye: Don't do this, Hayley. Don't take this out on Erica, or anyone else. You've made some mistakes, but it's not to late to fix them. (Hayley pushes Skye away from her and steps back.) Hayley: ​Oh, shut UP Skye. I am so sick of your incessant preaching. You are an alcoholic, slut mob princess. And everyone in this family hates you. You may be a biological Chandler this week, but it doesn't mean anyone wants you. We have been pretending you didn't exist for decades, and you begging to be my safe place isn't going to get you back in the will, honey. Skye: I've been where you are, Hayley. I know saying those things makes you feel better, but it isn't helping. You need to snap out of this denial -- (Hayley cuts her off.) Hayley: Oh, honey. I'm not in denial! (She opens her purse and pulls out a flask.) Hayley: Ladies and gentleman, Hayley Vaughan is off the wagon! And I am loving every damn minute of it! (She uncaps the flask and takes a swig before recapping it and putting it into her purse. She turns to walk away. She moves towards the stairs, but before she can walk down them, Skye chases after her. Skye grabs her arm.) Hayley: Let go of me, Skye! (Hayley jerks forward, attempting to break Skye's grasp. Skye loses her balance and stumbles forward, down the steps. After the fall, she lies unconscious at the bottom of the steps, a small pool of blood on the floor near her head. Hayley looks down at her for a moment, before beginning down the steps. She walks down the steps, her high heels clicking with each step. When she reaches the bottom, she steps directly over Skye's unconscious body and walks out the exit of the building.) _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Don't forget to check back TOMORROW For an ALL NEW episode of HEAVEN'S MEADOW!

Hello everyone! I'm so sorry that it has been so long since I posted an episode. I sincerely apologize for that. A lot of unexpected travel plans came about, and I just didn't have the time to get everything done in a satisfactory way. With that in mind, I am thrilled to announce that the show will be returning on MONDAY, JULY 30th with a weeks worth of all new episodes!

at "they guy who beat up Kristina Corinthos"! I'm glad you're looking forward to it! The Hayley scenes were very chilling to write, as well. You'll just have to wait until Monday to see what happens to Hayley Since Skye has history with AMC and OLTL, I thought it was important to address her time with both shows. It's just one more way I'm trying to bring the show together, and I hope it's working! I'm glad you all are enjoying it so far. Thanks, as always, Spencer!!

You caught me - It's Tiffany.

I was waiting for your response to Jack showing up, Carl. You never disappoint! The mystery woman is not Opal or Wendy, LOL! I just googled "mysterious woman" to find a picture. It's not a blacked out picture of the actual woman, haha! So glad you enjoyed Skye/Blair today! I was dying laughing reading your comments about Lucas and Mateo! You are too funny. Thank you so much for your comments regarding Hayley. I'm so glad you are enjoying this story! Your comments mean so much to me.

I completely understand! Cole and Hope are not necessarily dead. Up to this point, I've left that up to the viewer to decide. I like to write "in universe" - meaning that I write it like it's a show that could actually take place on TV. So, if HM were a real soap, that would mean Cole and Hope were dead. It will all be addressed down the line, but for now it's up to you to decide.

Thank you!

You'll just have to tune in Monday and see! It will be addressed next week, but in my story Todd is with Starr in New York. It's not going to follow the GH timeline exactly, though, because in real life, Blair is returning to GH next week, and that will not be addressed on Heaven's Meadow. Jack is going to have a very interesting ride ahead of him, and just because he didn't pay for his crimes in terms of the law, doesn't mean he's done paying for them in other ways! I know what you're saying about Tad - And I understand! He will get his time to shine a little bit as the season goes on, and his role will be expanded in season 2. Thanks Bright Eyes!

Haha! I'm so glad you liked the Skye/Erica scenes. I could just picture Robin Christopher delivering that line so perfectly. Erica/Hayley is going to be such an interesting dynamic to explore, and I hope you'll enjoy it! It's crazy you mention that because I was just thinking that! I was going to ask you, but I know how busy you've been with school so I didn't want to bother you! But definitely, I'd be honored to have you do that for the next season! I'm no editing genius like you, lol! I'll definitely get in touch with you when the time comes! And no worries, I know how swamped you are!

Thanks so much, Spencer! I like to do these mini-cliffhangers so that people are intrigued/want to tune in the next day. I'm so glad you're enjoying the Hayley stuff so much! It means so much to me. I knew the Jacqueline/Lucas stuff might be disconcerting to you but hey - Doesn't it mean there's a better chance for Jacqui/Brandon?

Heaven's Meadow Season 1 - Episode Fifteen "Everybody's Got a Dark Side" This episode features: Kassie DePaiva as Blair Cramer Angell Conwell as Jacqueline Erickson Vail Bloom as Brianna Emerson Ric Herbst as Lucas Erickson Andrew Trischitta as Jack Manning Christian Alexander as Billy and Robin Christopher as Skye Chandler Quartermaine _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Skye: Blair: Jack: Billy: (Inside Skye's club. She has just let Blair into the building, and the two begin speaking.) Skye: I was so thrilled to get your call, Blair. Frankly, I didn't expect you to accept my offer. Blair: Who said I was accepting your offer? (Skye rolls her eyes.) Skye: Why else would you be here? If you were declining, you wouldn't have felt the need to do so in person. Blair: Oh, don't be so smug Skye. It isn't flattering. Skye: If we're going to work together, you're going to need to be...less of a bitch. Blair: As long as you agree to do the same. Skye: So you are accepting my offer? Blair: Yes. You didn't leave me much choice. You're nothing if not an excellent business woman, Skye. Already promoting a club that hasn't even come close to opening. I didn't stand a chance. (Skye looks at Blair suspiciously, squinting.) Skye: Don't play me for a fool, Blair. I know you're here to spy on me. Blair: And yet you still offered me the job? (Skye smirks) Skye: I wouldn't have it any other way. Blair: You're a lunatic. Do you know that? Skye: I've been told. But don't get me wrong, Blair. I understand where you're coming from. Your personal life has been a mess these past few years. You don't want to set yourself up for another failure.I get that. And what better way to know if you have any chance of success here, than by spying on me? Blair: You don't know anything about my personal life, Skye. Skye: I heard all about the two Todd's situation. That must have been so challenging for you. You and Todd always had such a tumultuous relationship. Then he comes back to town with a new face, you reunite...And of course that was too good to be true. Then after what, ten years? You find out he isn't even really Todd, but Victor --a twin brother no one knew existed. Now you've been dumped by two Manning brothers. But you never know, maybe one of them will come crawling back. Blair: One of them is dead, Skye. Shows how much you know. Skye: So I heard. But is anyone ever really dead in Llanview? Maybe he's holed up somewhere waiting to make a triumphant return. No? Blair: No, Todd murdered Victor Jr. Skye: And from what I've heard, he was doing everyone a favor. Blair: Do you remember what you just said about not being a bitch, Skye? You best believe I would have punched you five minutes ago if it weren't for the fact that we're working together. Skye: No need to be rude, Blair. I was just trying to make small talk. Anyway-- (She is interrupted by a knock on the door. She moves past Blair and opens the door. Jack Manning stands outside, with another boy his age. Skye motions for them to enter.) Blair: Jack?! Jack, what are you doing here? Skye: I'll let you all catch up. Keep your phone on Blair, I'll be calling soon. (With a quick smirk, Skye exits the building.) Blair: Jack, what are you doing here? You can't just leave school with no notice. Jack: I took the train. They don't know that I left, Mom. I needed to see you. Blair: What's wrong? What is it? (Before Jack can answer, Blair notices the young man next to him for the first time.) Blair: And who is this? Jack: Mom, this is Billy. He's...my boyfriend. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ (Outside of the club, Skye stands in the alley. She takes out her cell phone and dials. She holds the phone up to her ear and waits for an answer.) Skye: Well, hello Allison. Tell me....How is Victor Jr. doing? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ OPENING CREDITS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgmDeqx4inI _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jacqueline: Brianna: Mystery Woman: (Inside the mystery woman's apartment. Jacqueline, Brianna and the mystery woman are seated in the living room.) Mystery Woman: How is everything going on your end, Brianna? Brianna: Perfectly well. Erica has been in almost every day this week. She'll be on set every day starting next week. Mystery Woman: Wonderful. And you'll be her assistant, as well? Brianna: Only temporarily. She's "auditioning" new assistants over the next few weeks. She's a bit of a diva, that one. Mystery Woman: That doesn't surprise me. We'll just have to move quickly, then. Jacqueline: What do you mean, move quickly? The plan-- (The mystery woman puts her hand up to silence Jacqueline.) Mystery Woman: The plan has changed, dear. (Jacqueline stands, angry.) Jacqueline: I will not risk getting caught, just because you're impatient. (The mystery woman speaks in a cold tone.) Mystery Woman: You'll do what you're told. Now have a seat. (Jacqueline sits down, visibly angry.) Mystery Woman: Brianna, you now have two jobs. Brianna: Which are? Mystery Woman: You will continue giving me regular reports on Ms. Kane. I want to know where she is, when she's there, and why. Do you understand? Brianna: Yes. And the other? Mystery Woman: A woman named Lindsay Rappaport is opening an art studio here in Heaven's Meadow. Her grand opening is exactly two weeks from tonight. It will be a very large event. Anybody that matters in this town will be there. You are to convince Ms. Kane to attend. Once she's arrived, we will take action. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Lucas: (Lucas Erickson walks down a dimly lit hallway in an undisclosed location. At the end of the hallway, he reaches a door. On the wall outside of the door, there is a keypad. He punches in a code, and the door slides open. He steps into the room. A man with dark hair, seen only from behind, sits in the room - tied to a chair.) Lucas: Well, if it isn't my favorite prisoner. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hayley: (At Hotel Heaven - A hotel on the outskirts of Heaven's Meadow. Hayley wake up in one of the rooms. The moment she opens her eyes, a searing headache emerges. She winces in pain. She attempts to stand from the bed, but finds that her legs are wobbly. She stumbles to the other side of the room, scrambling through her purse looking for the bottle of ibuprofen. She finds the pills, and places three in her hand. She moves towards the far wall, grabbing a water bottle from the minibar. She opens the bottle, pops the pills into her mouth, and takes a sip. After a moment, she notices for the first time that her clothes are scattered on the ground of the room. Looking down, she realizes that she is wearing nothing but a bra and underwear. Turning around slowly, she is horrified to see a man lying in the bed. After staring at the stranger for a long moment, she realizes what she's done. She instantly begins sobbing, and rushes towards the bathroom. She slams the door shut. Sobbing, she collapses to the ground against the door. She wipes the tear soaked hair out of her face, and turns to look at herself in the full length mirror hanging on the wall. She looks at her body, crumpled on the bathroom floor in nothing but her underwear. Sobbing, she speaks to her reflection.) Hayley: Who are you? (Hayley lies there for several moments. She closes her eyes and weeps, the feelings of self-loathing and hate taking over once more. After several moments, she stands from the floor. She pulls a silk hotel robe off of the handle on the wall, and puts it on. She looks at herself in the mirror above the sink for a moment, before opening the door and exiting the bathroom. The stranger in her bed is still asleep. She makes her way across the room. She spots an open bottle of vodka sitting on a table near the couch. She grabs it, and takes a large chug. Tears still streaming down her face, she moves across the room and slides open the door to the room's balcony. She steps outside into the heat. Walking forward, she climbs over the balcony railing, and steps onto the ledge.) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks for tuning in!
