    MCKINNONS HOUSE
    Vicky is cuddled up with Jake on the couch, eating popcorn, watching a movie.
    Vicky: I can't stop thinking about the girls. How they looked going out the door.
    Jake: Seems like yesterday that Bridget was playing with dolls.
    Vicky: And Michele was reading the newspaper at four.
    Jake: Come on come on I'm trying to hear this part.
    Vicky: Jake, I'm having a moment about our daughters. They're at that prom. Michele's with Cory, and who knows what Bridget's up to.
    Jake: You know how to ruin a perfectly good film.
    Vicky: Jake I'm serious. It's not that I don't love Bridget. I do.
    Jake: But you always think the worst of her.
    Vicky: No that's not it, but given the things that she's done lately, you've gotta be concerned.
    Jake: You say she opened Michele's acceptance letter. It could've been an honest mistake.
    Vicky: And I caught her texting someone from Michele's cell phone.
    Jake: She's a teenage girl.
    Vicky: This must be payback for what I've done in the past.

    HUDSONS HOUSE
    Gregory walks up to his bedroom, and John has just finished taking the last hinge off the door, and removes the door.
    Gregory: Dad what are you doing?
    John: What does it look like I'm doing?
    Gregory: You're invading my privacy.
    John: And you will get it back, when you show me that I can trust you.
    Gregory: Is it because of what I did the other day?
    John: You guessed it buddy.
    Gregory: I'm not using that stuff anymore.
    John: Well I'm not convinced.
    Gregory: Dad this is a little much don't you think?
    John: It's perfect. I need to see evidence that you're not shooting up those steroids anymore.
    Gregory: Well I stopped okay!
    John: It's not gonna be removed from your system for a while.
    Gregory: This is not fair!
    John: As long as you live in this house, you'll abide by my and your mother's rules!
    Gregory starts to have another steroid induced rage, and starts screaming.
    Gregory: Maybe I need to move out of here!
    Gregory runs downstairs, and out of the door. John futily yells for him to come back, but he gets into his car and drives off. John nervously mutters to himself that he's in no condition to drive, gets in his car, and tries to tail him.

    BAY CITY HIGH SCHOOL
    Cory and Michele are slow dancing, and all the kids are drinking punch. Bridget sees them from a short distance, pours a cup, and spikes it with vodka.
    Michele: I'm gonna go to the ladies' room for a second.
    Cory: Why? You look beautiful already.
    Michele: I'll be back.
    Michele walks away, Cory goes and sits at his table. Bridget seizes the opportunity and walks up to Cory.
    Bridget: Hey Cory. Some punch?
    Cory: Yeah thanks.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    Jake: Vicky you need to stop beating yourself over that.
    Vicky: I have for the most part, but Bridget reminds me of that young girl who schemed to take Jamie from Lisa.
    Jake: You are not her anymore. You're a wife and a good mother. I mean you weren't this worried about Steven and Kirkland when they were living with us.
    Vicky: They were good kids I suppose. They both want to be like their fathers. Steven's a doctor, and Kirk is studying political science.
    Jake: For Kirk's sake, let's hope that doesn't happen.
    Vicky: I support whatever Kirkland wants to do.
    Jake: I think you'll be sick if he ends up like Grant.
    Vicky: You might be right.
    Someone knocks on the door. Jake goes to get the door asking who that could be...it's Reginald.
    Jake: What the hell are you doing here?
    Reginald: Can I come in please?
    Vicky joins Jake at the door.
    Vicky: Reginald what do you want? You look a little worried.
    Reginald: I am. You've got to get Bridget.
    Jake: What about her?
    Reginald: She took a bottle of liquor out of my cabinet.
    Vicky starts to worry, but Jake refutes that accusation.
    Jake: How dare you accuse my daughter of stealing?
    Reginald: I adore my greatgranddaugters. I hope to God I'm wrong.
    Jake: Bridget didn't take anything from you!
    Vicky is on the phone with Bridget.
    Vicky: Bridget can you hear me?
    Bridget: Mom!?
    Vicky: Calling to check on you!
    Cory (slurring): Hi Ms. Kinnon!!
    Vicky: That sounded like Cory. Has he been drinking?
    Bridget realizes this, rustles paper in her phone receiver, and pretends that she's losing signal and hangs up. Vicky calls out to Bridget to no avail.
    Vicky: We gotta go to the school.
    Jake: What?
    Vicky: We have to go now Jake!
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    While some pop music plays in the background at the prom...
    Bridget: How are you feeling?
    Cory (slurring): I feel great. You're so pretty.
    Bridget: I am?
    Cory: How many of these have I had?
    Bridget: Three.
    Cory: You're so smart. You're going to...you're going to Cumbia.
    Bridget: Columbia.
    Cory: Yeah that. Your dress is blue. What happened to it?
    Bridget: I spilled something on it.
    Cory: Your dress was supposed to match my bowtie Michele. You're still beautiful.
    Cory leans in and kisses Bridget, whom he thinks is Michele because he's drunk. They both look up and Michele is standing right over them, devastated.
    Michele: What are you doing? Bridget?
    Cory: Michele. It's you. Wait? I thought...
    Michele: You thought wrong Cory. I thought you loved me.
    Cory (stands up): I do. I'm....I'm sorry. I thought...
    Michele: You're drunk! What's going on?
    Michele sees the water bottle on the table, and grabs it before Bridget can take it from her. She opens it and smells the vodka.
    Michele: No. You got drunk.
    Cory: It's just punch. Bridget gave it to me.
    Michele: Bridget didn't do this...
    Michele flashes back to when Vicky told her that Bridget opened her first Harvard acceptance letter.
    Michele: Did you open the letter?
    Bridget: What are you talking about?
    Michele: My first acceptance letter from Harvard. Did you open it?
    Bridget: Yes! I did! You're happy now? You and mom must work for the same firm.
    Michele: Why?
    Bridget: Because they love you more than me! You're smart. You've got a boyfriend. What do I have?
    Michele: My God you're jealous! That's why you were kissing my boyfriend!
    Bridget: Now do I have your attention?
    Jake, Vicky and Reginald rush in and makes a beeline to the teens. Vicky sees Cory slouched on the table.
    Vicky: Bridget what have you done?
    Bridget: Mom what are you talking about?
    Vicky: We know.
    Reginald: You took the liquor from my cabinet.
    Jake is shocked, and so is Michele, and Bridget runs out in shame to the front of the school, and Michele and the others follow.
    --------------------------------------------------
    Bridget and Michele are on the sidewalk.
    Michele: Wait we're not finished!
    Bridget: See how mom and Grandpa Reginald accused me.
    Michele: You planned all of this didn't you?
    Bridget: What?
    Michele: You stole the liquor from Grandpa Reginald. You planned to get Cory drunk so you can steal him from me?
    Bridget: You're crazy!
    Michele: And you're a bitch!
    The two start fighting, and as Jake, Vicky, and Reginald rush down the stairs to break it up, Michele stumbles onto the street, and is struck by an oncoming car....a car that is being driven by Gregory. After hitting Michele, the car swerves and crashes into the wall. Jake and Vicky rush out to the street and tend to a badly injured Michele.

    McKinnon’s House 2/29/2012
    Bridget comes down in her dress and Jake greets her in the living room.
    Jake: Look at my daughter..
    Bridget: You like dad?
    Jake: I love it.
    Bridget: Too bad I don’t have a date.
    Jake: Good.
    Bridget: That’s not good dad. Nobody thought I was pretty enough.
    Jake: I think you’re beautiful.
    Bridget: You’re my dad. You’re supposed to say that.
    Jake: I don’t want any stupid boys trying to corrupt my little girl.
    Bridget: Might be too late for that.
    Bridget flashes back to taking the bottle of vodka out of Reginald’s liquor cabinet, then putting the bottle in her locker at school.
    Jake: Where’s your sister?
    Bridget: Upstairs. The fashionistas are helping her get dressed.
    Upstairs…Vicky and Donna are helping Michele.
    Donna: Carry your purse on your wrist. Here put the strap on.
    Vicky: No you ditch the strap and carry the purse close to your body.
    Donna: Vicky do you wanna mess up her dress?
    Michele: Hello? I’m here.
    Donna: Oh honey. I’m sorry. Do what you want to do.
    Vicky: I agree. You look so beautiful.
    Donna: Absolutely exquisite.
    Michele: Thank you.
    Vicky: She’s going to Harvard in the fall.
    Michele: Mom I didn’t decide yet.
    Vicky: Oh I’m sorry. She’s trying to decide between Harvard or Columbia.
    Donna: My scholarly granddaughter.

    Paulina is straightening up Dante's bowtie.
    Paulina: You look so handsome.
    Dante: I hope Elizabeth thinks so.
    Paulina: And what am I? Spring chicken?
    Dante: Of course not mom.
    Paulina (with a proud mom smile): Look at my baby.
    Dante: Mom I'm not a baby anymore.
    Paulina: I know. Where did the time go? You've grown up to be a fine young man.
    Dante: Raised by good parents.
    They are interrupted by a knock on the door and Paulina opens it...and a chauffeur stands outside.
    Paulina: May I help you?
    Chauffeur: I'm here to take Master Carlino to the prom.

    Paulina realizes the limousine was set up by Grant, who walks up to the door.

    Cory: You're always beautiful mom.
    Rachel: See at least one of my children appreciates me.
    Elizabeth: I appreciate you, too mom.
    Rachel: Look at my babies.

    Elizabeth (reading the card): You look awesome.
    She turns around and faces Dante.
    Dante: I see you like the flowers.
    Elizabeth: You did this?
    Dante: Of course.
    Elizabeth: Thank you.
    Dante: I have loved you my whole life Lizzie.

    They share their first kiss.
    --------------------------------------------------
    Meanwhile, Michele walks in with an exquisite tan dress, with Cory, who matches with an off white tuxedo, and a bowtie matching his girlfriend's dress. They walk in hand in hand. Bridget, who wears a baby blue dress, watches them from behind from the hall, and heads straight for her locker to get the vodka.
    --------------------------------------------------
    Paulina: I didn't know you would get a chauffeur to get Dante to the prom.
    Grant: It's not a problem. I did the same for Kirkland.
    Paulina: You've made this a smooth event for him. I really appreciate it.
    Grant: Of course Paulina. I want the best for you and your son.
    Paulina: Thank you.
    Grant (moving closer to Paulina): And I want you.
    Grant kisses Paulina. She kisses him back...and then pulls away, and tells him they can't do this.

    Tyrone: Have a seat. I'm just going over some documents.
    Donna: Attorney work.
    Tyrone: Yep. I was waiting for Marley to get out of her session with Dr. Taylor. She should be out any minute now.
    Donna: Do you think she's getting better?
    Tyrone: I'm not sure to be honest with you.
    Donna: Marley is working very hard to recover from those feelings.
    Tyrone: I realized that I can't help her with those.
    Donna (putting her hand on Tyrone's arm): All you can do...is be there for her.
    Meanwhile, from a close distance, unseen and unnoticed by Tyrone and Donna, a mystery person takes a picture of Donna's hand on Tyrone's arm.

    CORYS HOUSE
    Elizabeth is looking at her dress when Amanda knocks on the door.
    Amanda: Can I come in?
    Elizabeth: Sure. You like my prom dress?
    Amanda: It's absolutely beautiful...going with anyone.
    Elizabeth: Guess I'll find out a little later.
    Amanda: Oooh...special guy?
    Elizabeth smiles.
    Elizabeth: Yeah I hope he asks me out.
    Amanda: I can probably venture a guess who it might be.
    Elizabeth: Really. Go ahead smarty pants.
    Amanda: Dante Carlino. You guys have been joined together at the hip most of your lives.
    Elizabeth: Yep. He's my friend.
    Amanda: Seems like you like him.
    Elizabeth: Yeah I do. I hope he likes me, too.

    Cory and Michele are at a table. Cory's hand is on top of Michele's.
    Cory: You excited?
    Michele: Yeah it's been like magic. I can't believe this is actually happening.
    Cory: Yeah. Me neither. You're going to Harvard. I'm going to Boston University.
    Michele: And we're going to the prom tomorrow.
    Cory: I've loved you since eighth grade.
    Michele: Have you?
    Cory: Of course I have. You don't believe me?
    Michele: If you give me a kiss, I might.
    Cory and Michele kiss, and Bridget watches from afar.

    Rachel: This is delicious.
    Mitch: Grilled salmon.
    Rachel: Hey, Matt told me to tell you hello.
    Mitch: How are they doing?
    Rachel: He's great.
    Mitch: And our granddaughter?
    Rachel: Jasmine's back south with her mother.
    Mitch: I'm glad our son's doing well.
    Rachel: When was the last time you talked to him?
    Mitch: A couple months ago. I was thinking about going to see him but...
    Rachel: But what? He's your son.
    Mitch: He doesn't think of me as his father. He probably shouldn't.
    Rachel: Just because Mac and I raised him does not change the fact that you're his biological father.
    Mitch: I don't want to push too hard you know, and I'm not trying to take Mac's place in his life.
    Rachel: He will always think of Mac as his father, but Mac is no longer with us. You're here....and he's going to need you.
    Mitch: Once I get past the guilt.
    Rachel: You're exactly right. It'll do you both some good, if you make yourself a part of his life.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Amanda: He will...
    Elizabeth: Look I just wanted to say I'm sorry...
    Amanda: About what?
    Elizabeth: Come on Amanda I was a total bitch to mom the other day.
    Amanda: Mom is strict with you. She must love you a lot.
    Elizabeth: I know. I just can't stand being grounded.
    Amanda: Well she's letting you go to the prom.
    Elizabeth: I didn't think she was gonna let me go.
    Amanda: Mom can be full of surprises.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Tyrone: Yeah...I love your daughter with all my heart.
    Donna: I know she's in good hands with you. Well I'm gonna get going. I'm going shopping with my granddaughters for their last minute prom stuff.
    Tyrone: Ahh how exciting.
    Donna: Have a good day.
    As Tyrone continues to sift through his papers, Grant sits across from him.
    Grant: Is that from the Governor's office?
    Tyrone: His letter of recommendation.
    Grant: I just wanted to thank you. The Governor owed me a favor.
    Tyrone: Once I put this together, I don't see why this person can't be released.
    Grant: This will be great for your career.
    Tyrone: Yeah.
    Grant: I need a favor from you now...you can't tell anyone about my involvement in this.
    Tyrone: Typical Grant huh? Up to no good.
    Grant: I don't want people finding out I had anything to do with it...especially not Paulina.

    Jake: I saw the mailman on the way up. This came for you.
    Frankie: Thanks Jake.
    Jake: Yep you can sort out all the bills.
    Frankie: Gee thanks.
    Frankie sorts through the junk mail and suddenly she shrieks as she touches a piece of junk mail that has a picture of a Caribbean island on it.
    Jake: You okay?
    Frankie: Yeah...yeah I'm fine.
    Frankie wonders why she got a bit of a premonition about that picture of a Caribbean island.
    Frankie: You know what, I gotta get outta here for a minute. I'll be back.

    Grant wonders what Paulina is going to say..

    Grant: Say...you love me.
    Paulina just keeps looking at him.
    Grant: Okay? You'll think about it?

    HUDSONS HOUSE
    John tends to Sharlene in their bedrooom.
    John: Somebody shot Grant? Do you...know...who did it?
    Sharlene: No. It's not clear. I can't see who shot him. I'm sorry.
    John: When did this happen?
    Sharlene: It was the day that...Joe Carlino was killed.
    John: That was the day of Grant's acceptance speech. Why haven't you told me about this?
    Sharlene: I wasn't clear John. I'm still not. Even if I wanted to tell you, I wouldn't know what to tell you. Lately my memories of that day have been coming back little by little.
    John: I'm not gonna push you.
    Sharlene: I'm afraid...I'm scared of what will happen if all the memories come back.
    Downstairs Gregory lets Frankie in. Frankie is holding the piece of junk mail with the Caribbean island picture on it.
    Gregory: Hey cousin.
    Frankie: Hey how is everything?
    Gregory: Could be better. I'm gonna head to campus.
    Frankie: Umm is Aunt Sharlene here?
    Gregory: She's upstairs with dad.
    Sharlene and John walk down the stairs.
    John: Hi Frankie.
    Frankie: John, Aunt Sharlene. Hey do you wanna go the Center and get a cappucino?
    Sharlene: You know what, that sounds good right about now.
    --------------------------------------------------------
    CARLINOS HOUSE
    Paulina and Dante walk in.
    Dante: You barely said a word in the car.
    Paulina: It's nothing.
    Dante: Alright I'm gonna go play some video games.
    Paulina: Hey. Wait a minute. Let me ask you a question. What do you think of Grant?
    Dante: He's cool I guess. Why do you ask?
    Paulina: He's been coming around a lot and I was just wondering how you felt.
    Dante: Are you wondering how I feel...or how you feel? It's pretty obvious he likes you mom.
    Paulina: I don't want to betray your father...or you honey.
    Dante: I think dad would want you to be happy. Maybe it is time for you to get out there. Maybe give Grant a chance.
    Paulina (eyes welling up): You are everything to me. You're just like your daddy. Just as intelligent, wise...
    Dante: Don't forget handsome.
    They hug....
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    BAY CITY CENTER
    Frankie and Sharlene talk over coffee.
    Frankie: I'm glad you decided to come with me. I didn't want to talk about it in front of John.
    Sharlene: I figured as much.
    Frankie (Putting the junk mail picture on the table): I got this at the office. Just sorting through mail and I had a funny feeling about it.
    Sharlene: You still get those premonition things.
    Frankie: I haven't felt this way in a long time about anything.
    Sharlene: Have you had a real chance to look at it?
    Frankie: Yeah. This is an advertisement for vacation.
    Sharlene: Frankie maybe you're making more of it than what it is.
    Frankie: Not a vacation to just any island. Look at it.
    Sharlene (skimming over the paper): It's a cruise to the Virgin Islands. St. John, St. Thomas, and St. Croix.
    Frankie: Wait a second, St. Croix was where Aunt Janice was killed.
    Sharlene: Maybe that's why you got such a reaction to it. She was our family.
    Frankie: No Aunt Sharlene. There's got to be more to it than a piece of junk mail.
    Sharlene: And my memories have been coming back.
    Frankie: The day of Grant's acceptance speech.
    Sharlene: Do you think St. Croix has something to do with my memories, too?
    Frankie: I have no clue. Only time will give us the answers.
    Sharlene: Where it ended for my sister, might very well be the beginning.

    Reginald is berating someone about his broken ice machine, and opens the door.
    Reginald: Bridget my dear!
    Bridget (walking in with her book bag): Hi Grandpa Reginald.
    Reginald: How nice of you to come visit? Come on in. Have a seat.
    Bridget: It's been a while since I've been up here.
    Bridget looks around, and fixes her sights on Reginald's liquor cabinet.
    Reginald: It's great to have you. Are you hungry? Thirsty?
    Bridget: Yes I am.

    CORYS LIVING ROOM
    Rachel is at a table near the back glass door when Amanda walks in.
    Amanda: Mom. Sculpting again?
    Rachel: Yes. Helps to relieve stress.
    Amanda: Uh oh. You and Elizabeth fighting again. I can talk to her if you want.
    Rachel: No...as a matter of fact, Lizzie and I have patched things up.
    Amanda: I know you told me you wanted to sculpt full time. Is this is a career change or something?
    Rachel: Of course not Amanda, you know this is a hobby.
    Amanda: Have you seen the number of people who signed with us?
    Rachel: I saw them online. Ten people signed in one day.
    Amanda: Yes. It's the best day Cory Publishing has ever had. All thanks to Allen.
    Rachel: I saw you two at Topps last night.
    Amanda: We were celebrating.
    Rachel: Amanda be careful. Oil and water mix better than business and pleasure.
    --------------------------------------------------
    HUDSONS HOUSE
    Gregory arrives home, in his Bay City University football gear. He's breathing heavily. He looks at a letter from the university. It states that he has been declared academically ineligible to play football because of his GPA, and he starts to trash the living room. Before he can finish ransacking the living room, John and Sharlene walk in, and John rushes to grab his son, and admonishes him to stop. Sharlene seems unable to move because of what she sees.
    --------------------------------------------------
    REGINALD'S SUITE
    Reginald: I've called room service. Food will be up soon. Oh you're gonna want your soda to be cold when it gets here.
    Bridget: Your ice making machine is awesome.
    Reginald: It's broken. I'm gonna go and get some ice.
    Reginald walks out the door with the bucket, and Bridget heads right to the liquor cabinet, and puts a bottle of vodka in her book bag.
    --------------------------------------------------
    Amanda: Mom it was a drink, not the third date.
    Rachel: That's how they usually start.
    Amanda: I think you would have a little bit more faith in me than that.
    Rachel: I'm just looking out for you that's all. You've been a little lonely since you and Cameron broke up. Alli's in California.
    Amanda: I have you, Cory, Elizabeth.
    Rachel: But you don't have a man, and Allen is quite handsome.
    Amanda: You make it seem like I'm desperate or something,
    Rachel: No. Of course not honey. I just want you to be careful.
    Amanda: You're worried for no reason.
    Rachel: I saw the way you looked at him. You're drawn to him aren't you?
    Amanda: I can't lie to you mom...he's very appealing.
    Rachel: I'd be lying if I said he wasn't, but be careful of mixing business and pleasure. You'll end up in a world of hurt.
    ----------------------------------------------------
    Reginald and Bridget are eating their food.
    Reginald: How does it taste?
    Bridget: Great.
    Reginald: I can't believe I'm having lunch with my great granddaughter. Your parents would kill me if they found out you were here.
    Bridget: My parents don't care about me.
    Reginald: Oh but of course they do.
    Bridget: Michele just got accepted to Harvard and Columbia.
    Reginald: Well that's wonderful isn't it?
    Bridget: And I didn't. I got accepted to BCU.
    Reginald: Well I could make a few phone calls...
    Bridget: No I want to earn it. Michele's smart, beautiful. She's studies all the time, and she going out with Cory Hutchins.
    Reginald: And what about you? You're just as smart, and equally as beautiful.
    Bridget: Apparently not...mom always comes down on me, and she's thinks I'm liar.
    Reginald: She says that because she sees herself in you. Don't worry about that. You can only be Bridget. You can't be Michele, and you can't be your mother.
    Bridget: They love Michele more than they love me.
    Reginald: Well if it's attention that you're seeking from them, then you're going to have to do something to get it. Demand that they notice you.

    John grabs Gregory by his shoulders.
    John: Gregory! Get a hold of yourself! Calm down!
    Gregory finally falls on the couch, and John picks up the letter that Gregory had from BCU.
    John: They said you can't play football. You're a having a rage attack aren't you? .
    John notices Sharlene who is seemingly in a state of shock.
    Gregory: What's wrong with mom?
    John: Go in the kitchen and get some water.
    Sharlene flashes back to people running around in chaos.
    John: Sharlene! Are you alright?
    Sharlene: He was there...I saw him John.
    John: Saw who? Tell me.
    Sharlene: Somebody shot Grant.

    Paulina: Yep of course. Nothing but the best for my boy.
    Dante: Thanks mom. Can't wait to see it.
    Paulina: So....do you have a date?
    Dante: No...not yet.
    Paulina: Anyone in mind?
    Dante: I was gonna ask Lizzie to go with me.
    Paulina: Oh that would be nice.
    Dante: If Mrs. Hutchins doesn't keep her on punishment. She says she and her mom fight a lot.
    Paulina: That's what happens when you get two strong willed personalities clashing.
    Dante: Yeah Lizzie is pretty strong.
    Paulina: She gets it from her mother.

    CORYS HOUSE
    A man walks in with a tuxedo and a dress. Rachel signs for them, and instructs him where to hang them up. Cory and Elizabeth enter the living room.
    Rachel: Cory get your tux, and Elizabeth, your dress.

    -----------------------------------------------------
    MCKINNONS HOUSE
    Vicky sits on the couch in the living room, sifting through the mail, and Michele walks in and sits next to her.
    Vicky: Hi honey.
    Michele: Hey mom.
    Vicky: Prom is coming up soon isn't it?
    Michele: Next week.
    Bridget steps unheard and unseen halfway down the stairs and decides to listen to Vicky and Michele's conversation.
    Vicky: I ordered you and your sisters' dresses. They'll probably come tomorrow.
    Michele: Been waiting for it.
    Vicky: Are you going with Cory?
    Michele: That's the plan.
    Vicky: You like him don't you?
    Michele (smiling): Yeah. A lot.
    Vicky: So cute. You and Cory Hutchins, childhood sweethearts.
    Michele: We're gonna have lunch down at the center.
    Vicky: Well that's wonderful. He's a good kid.
    Vicky sifts through the mail...
    Vicky gives her two letters): These came for you.
    Michele (opening and reading the letters): Oh my God mom.
    Vicky: What is it?
    Michele: I got accepted to Columbia, and Harvard.
    Vicky: Are you serious? Congratulations honey!
    Michele: The one from Harvard says it was the second letter. Guess the first one didn't get here.
    Vicky knows that Bridget attempted to hide the first letter from Michele.
    -----------------------------------------------
    Paulina: So why haven't you asked Lizzie out yet?
    Dante: What do you think she's gonna say?
    Paulina: I don't know. You won't either until you ask her.
    Dante: If dad was here he would tell me how to make moves.
    Paulina: Yes he sure had game.
    Dante: He'd tell me how to get all the ladies.
    Paulina: Now now Dante, a lady doesn't like to be toyed with. Just be honest and straight forward. They'll respect you.
    Paulina gets a text that Dante's prom tuxedo was signed for.
    Paulina: Your tux arrived.
    Dante: Cool! But nobody's home. Who possibly could've signed for it?
    Grant walks up to them with Dante's prom tuxedo and shoes, and they both look up at Grant with a smile.
    Dante: Hi Mr. Harrison.
    Paulina: Dante can you go get a bottled water for me?
    Grant: Sorry. I didn't tell you I was going to have the delivery intercepted. I wanted it to be a surprise.
    Paulina: You're not gonna stop are you?
    Grant: What's wrong with me wanting to make Dante's prom special for him?
    Paulina: Because I told you we didn't need your help! You're not listening!
    Grant: Look I'm sorry okay.
    Paulina: Joe should never have worked for you! I told him not to take the job.
    Grant: I wish he hadn't either, but let's face it Paulina, you both were struggling financially, and he needed a job.
    Paulina: So you just gave him a job to protect you and he gets shot when you make your acceptance speech! What's your real angle Grant?
    Grant: How can you suggest that I have some ulterior motive for hiring Joe?
    Paulina: Do you really want me to rehash your history?
    Grant: I told...Before Joe took his last breath, I promised him that I would take care of you and Dante.
    Paulina: Why? Because you're a man of your word?
    Grant: Because ever since you that day, I saw a chance...to be with you. I'm falling in love with you Paulina.

    CORY HOUSE
    Elizabeth: Cory I think mom's kind of sick right now.
    Rachel: Cory may I have a word with your sister alone please?
    Elizabeth: Mom what did I do this time?
    Rachel: Being my daughter...growing up to be such a strong willed young lady.
    Elizabeth: Look mom I...I'm sorry for what I said the other day...about calling you a slut.
    Rachel: Honey...I don't hold that against you. I'm hard on you because I don't want you to repeat the mistakes that I made.
    Elizabeth: I thought you weren't gonna let me go to the prom.
    Rachel: Now why would I deprive you of that? It is gonna be an evening that you'll always remember. I would never take that from you or your brother.
    Elizabeth: I'm just surprised.
    Rachel: I know it's been hard since your father passed away. You miss him. Your brother misses him. I miss him, but we've got each other, and I love you more than anything else. You'll be on your own pretty soon. I remember when Carl was rocking you, and I was holding Cory. Cory was sleeping, and you were screaming your pretty little head off. You're always gonna be my little girl, and I'm always gonna want what's best for you.
    Elizabeth (a tear rolling down her cheek): I know I can be a handful, but I just want to be a good daughter. I don't want to let you down.
    Rachel: Oh honey, you don't. You're not a failure. You're a seventeen year old. You're my seventeen year old, and I love you. I wish your father was here to see how strong, and beautiful you and your brother have become.
    --------------------------------------------------
    Vicky: Your sister opened it.
    Michele: Why would she do that?
    Vicky: I think she might have thought it was hers from some reason.
    Michele: Oh. Well I'm gonna go get ready for lunch with Cory.
    Vicky: I'll talk to your father. We're gonna take you to Tops to celebrate.

    Amanda: Well spill it!
    Allen: Our people are out there making deals. We've signed ten writers today!
    Amanda: Ten! Wow! Hmm I don't believe you. Let me see it!
    Allen (showing Amanda his tablet): Believe it baby.
    Amanda: Oh my goodness! Ten people!
    Allen: The contracts should be finalized in the next twenty four hours.
    Amanda: And only three of them are new writers. You know what, I think this calls for a celebration!

    GRANT'S HOUSE
    Grant opens the door, and it's not welcome company.
    Reginald (walking in) Hello Senator Harrison.
    Grant: I didn't invite you in.
    Reginald: Oh Grant, I think you should be more gracious to your visitors.
    Reginald walks to the bar and helps himself to a drink.
    Grant: Yeah because sheep let wolves into their stables all the time.
    Reginald: Come on Grant. We could have a great friendship. I mean, I think it would be in your best interests.
    Grant: I only keep enemies close.
    Reginald: We don't have to be that. I mean you scratch my back, I scratch yours.
    Grant: I helped bring you back from the dead.
    Reginald: And for that I am grateful...but now it's time for you to put your Senator skills to work.
    Grant: For what?
    Reginald: I need you to make a few phone calls.
    Grant: Why?
    Reginald: Because you adore your son.
    Grant: You keep Kirkland out of this!
    Reginald: You make those phone calls...or your offspring will be smack dab in the middle of this!
    ---------------------------------------------------
    Donna: Is there anything I can do?
    Marley: Is there a pacemaker for emotions? Mine need a jump start.
    Donna (putting her hand on Marley's): What are you talking about honey?
    Marley: We made love, but I felt....
    Donna: Felt what?
    Marley: What's wrong with me Donna? I want to give myself to Tyrone, but something is not allowing me to. Why?
    Donna: Oh honey. I wish I knew. Have you talked to your therapist?
    Marley: I'm on my way there. I just wanted to get your perspective.
    Donna: I...I don't know what to say. I don't think you need a jolt of emotions. You love Tyrone don't you?
    Marley: Of course I do...
    Donna: Well then that's all that matters. You two will get through this. Don't worry about it so much.

    TOPPS
    Allen and Amanda are at the bar.
    Amanda: I don't think we've had that kind of day in a long time. You haven't even been here a week yet and you've signed ten writers. I think we've made quite a find.
    Allen: I do not intend to disappoint boss...I mean....
    Amanda: Amandaaaa...
    Allen: Amanda.
    They both chuckle as Allen's cell phone rings. He tells Amanda not to go anywhere; that he's got to take the call. He goes off to a private corner.
    Allen: I've signed them. Yes I know what to do.
    On the other line, REGINALD continues to give Allen directions.
    Reginald: Good. Your payoff is coming. Just keep me posted. I've got things going on my end.
    Allen: I don't want anybody to get hurt.
    Reginald: You'll soon learn that collateral damage is always the necessary evil when trying to reach a goal.
    Allen hangs up the phone and returns to Amanda.
    Allen (grabbing his drink): Sorry that was one of the marketers. They had a question.
    Amanda: Sure.
    Allen: Let's make a toast...to success.
    Amanda: To success.
    As they clink their glasses, Rachel steps out of the elevator and sees Allen and Amanda...and becomes a bit suspicious.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    Reginald hangs up his phone from in front of a door that with a name plate that reads Dr. Ben Taylor. Before he can walk away, he bumps into Marley.
    Reginald: Marley. What are you doing here?
    Marley: I probably could ask you the same thing.
    Reginald: I'm...looking for office space.
    Marley: Oh. Are you sure that's all you're looking for.
    Reginald: Of course. What brings you in this building?
    Marley: I have a session with Dr. Taylor.
    Reginald: Well I'm glad you are getting the help you need. Have a good one.
    Marley is suspicious of Reginald's reason for being in the building, but brushes it off.

    Marley: Hi.
    Tyrone: Hey.
    Marley: So...did you have a good day?
    Tyrone: Pretty good. How about yours?
    Marley: Good but not great.
    Tyrone: Did you see your therapist?
    Marley: I don't want to talk about doctors. I don't want to talk about issues. I just want you to make love to me.
    Marley begins kissing Tyrone's neck.
    Tyrone: Marley.
    Marley: Want me to stop?
    Tyrone (smiling): No.
    Marley: Good, because I don't intend to.

    MCKINNONS HOUSE
    Michele is in the kitchen and Bridget walks in.
    Bridget: What are you doing today?
    Michele: I don't know. I got some studying to do.
    Bridget: Michele nobody's studying right now. It's almost graduation time.
    Michele: Well I don't want to lose focus. I'm waiting for Harvard to contact me.
    Bridget flashes back to Michele's acceptance letter, and grabs an apple out of the refrigerator. Bridget tries to feel out whether Michele knows or not.
    Bridget: I thought they would have contacted you by now.
    Michele: Yeah you'd think but, I guess these things take time.
    Bridget: They sure do.
    Michele: Well I'm headed to the library. I'll catch ya later.
    Bridget notices that Michele left her cell phone on the kitchen table. She uses the opportunity to send a text to Cory, but before she can put it back down, Vicky catches her.
    Vicky: Isn't that Michele's phone?
    Bridget: Yeah, I was just gonna go after her. She left it here.
    Bridget races out the door to avoid any more questions from Vicky, but Vicky knows better, and Jake walks in.
    Jake: Why is Bridget running out of here like a bat out of hell?
    Vicky: Michele left her cell phone.
    Jake: Where did she go? Did you show her the letter?
    Vicky: Haven't had a chance.
    Jake: You look worried.
    Vicky: I am worried....worried about Bridget.

    Bridget waits a table drinking a latte when Reginald notices her and walks up to her, and Bridget perks up.
    Reginald: Bridget. What's going on?
    Bridget: Hi Grandpa Reginald.
    Reginald: Are you waiting for someone?
    Bridget: Not at the moment. Please sit.
    Reginald: So what's going on with you?
    Bridget: Same old thing. You know...mom favors Michele over me.
    Reginald: Is that so?
    Bridget: She says I'm becoming more like you.
    Reginald: I'm sure Vicky didn't mean it in a complimentary way.
    Bridget: I don't see what all she has against you. I mean everybody makes mistakes right?
    Reginald: You're right. You're more mature than you give yourself credit for.
    Bridget: That's what I try to show them, but it's 'Michele' this, and 'Michele' that. When are they gonna notice me?
    Reginald: I notice you honey. Your great grandfather is always here for you.

    Sharlene is washing the dishes while John sits at the table drinking coffee.
    John: What do you wanna do today?
    Sharlene: Not sure.
    John: Let's drive to Chicago.
    Sharlene (smiling): Hmmm not a bad idea. I just want to make sure Gregory is okay.
    John: Gregory will be fine. He's not a baby anymore.
    Sharlene drops a frying pan onto the floor, screams, and becomes terrified. John rushes to his wife and holds her.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    Tyrone and Marley are in bed. Tyrone is kissing on Marley's shoulders, but Marley's back is turned to him...and her stare is blank.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    Vicky: I'm concerned about her behavior.
    Jake: Why?
    Vicky (becoming more dumbfounded, shaking her head): She lied...so effortlessly.
    Jake: Vick. Spit it out. What's going on with Bridget?
    Vicky: I caught her texting on Michele's phone, and she lied about that, too.
    Jake: Does this have something to do with what you said in her room?
    Vicky: About being like my grandfather? Absolutely.
    Jake: You need to get that out of your head. Our daughter is nothing like him.
    Vicky: Makes me think of how I got with Jamie.
    Jake: You're not that kind of person anymore.
    Vicky: Felicia told me one time that I was a chip off the old Reginald Love block...
    Jake: I don't see the point behind your worrying. Bridget is not gonna be like Reginald.
    Vicky: Don't you see, Jake! Bridget opened Michele's acceptance letter, and lied about it when I confronted her!
    Jake: You don't know if she opened it, and why would she keep something like that from her own sister?
    Vicky: Bridget was the first one home that day. You were working and I dropped Michele off at the library.
    Jake: Maybe she was just curious.
    Vicky: Bridget is reminding me of me. I schemed and manipulated to take Jamie from Lisa Grady. Bridget is traveling down that same road, and it pains me to watch it.
    Jake: I think your concern is unfounded! She'll grow out of it.
    Vicky: Will she? Bridget is jealous of her sister, and it's growing every day. I'm scared Jake.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Bridget: Thanks Grandpa Reginald.
    Reginald: Anytime, my dear, but I do want you to understand something.
    Bridget: What's that?
    Reginald: That you and your sister are equally as special. You are not more special than she, and she is not more special than you.
    Bridget: Blah blah blah.
    Reginald: Your parents love you. Your mother is fiercely protective of both of you.
    Bridget: I came home the other day from school. All mom could talk about was how she wished I would be more like Michele.
    Reginald: I don't think she meant anything bad by that. She just wants you to do better in school that's all.
    Bridget: How do you know how I'm doing in school?
    Reginald: Let's just say I keep my eye on you. I could hire a tutor for you.
    Bridget: No that won't be necessary.
    Bridget sees Cory and signals for him to come over to their table.
    Reginald: Cory Hutchins.
    Cory: Hi Mr. Love.
    Bridget jumps up. "Thanks for everything Grandpa Reginald. Love you." she says.
    Cory: Have you seen Michele?
    Bridget: No why?
    Cory: She texted me to meet her here.
    Bridget: Oh, maybe she got busy. Guess you might as well hang out with me.
    ---------------------------------------------------------
    John: Sharlene what's wrong?
    Sharlene: I'm...I'm sorry....I was just a little startled.
    John: Startled? Your scream was blood curdling.
    Sharlene: I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you like that.
    Sharlene has to think of something to throw John off at this point because she's not even sure why she had such a reaction to a frying pan hitting the floor.
    Sharlene: I guess I had a Kate Baker flashback.
    John: Kate and Sharly are not coming back.
    Sharlene: Doesn't mean that they don't try every now and then.
    John: You're too strong for them. I'm gonna go upstairs and pack us some clothes.
    Sharlene: I think a getaway to Chicago sounds great right about now.
    John leaves the kitchen and Sharlene has another flashback, but not of Kate or Sharly. It was of a gloved hand, and a crowd of people, and someone standing at a podium at Bay City Center.

    Rachel: My children need their father. He's gone. It can be hell sometimes trying to raise them alone.
    Mitch: You're doing a great job. Carl is probably pleased with how you're raising them.
    Rachel: Amanda tries to help, but she's busy at the office. I guess what I'm trying to say is...I need help.
    Mitch: I'll be here for you.
    Rachel: Mitch you don't have to do that. I mean you and Felicia are getting closer, and you should be focusing on that. I can take care of myself and my kids.

    Elizabeth: Yes mom I have.
    Rachel: I'll return your phone after I check it.
    Elizabeth: Why do you treat me like this?
    Rachel: Because I love you, and I want you to live a full life.
    Elizabeth: Do you think you would go easier on me if you had a male figure in the house?
    Rachel: I beg your pardon?
    Elizabeth: I mean, you told Mitch that you needed his help, that it's hard raising Cory and me by yourself.
    Rachel: I can take care of both of you just fine.
    Elizabeth: I heard you talking to Mitch.
    Rachel: You were eavesdropping.
    Elizabeth: You're looking for a replacement for dad aren't you?
    Rachel: You couldn't be any more wrong.
    -----------------------------------------------------------
    Frankie: Come on Grant. Nobody at all? I'm trying to help you. I mean let's face it. You had a lot of enemies.
    Grant: That was a long time ago Frankie.
    Frankie: I'm trying to get Paulina some closure. She needs some justice. The person who killed her husband could have been the same person who tried to kill you.
    Grant: I know Joe took the bullet for me. I promised him before he took his last breath that I would take care of Paulina and Dante. I would make sure that they had everything they needed.
    Frankie: You want to help Paulina don't you?
    Grant: Of course I do.
    Frankie: Well then try to remember. Who would have wanted you dead?
    Grant: Frankie I'll need to think about that, since I have so many enemies, as you say.
    Frankie: It's important. It's important to Paulina. Do it for her.

    Bridget is in her bedroom, and she goes through her knapsack, and notices Michele's acceptance letter is gone, but as she tries to leave her bedroom, Vicky is at the door, holding the opened letter.
    Vicky: You wanna explain this to me Bridget?
    Bridget: Explain what?
    Vicky: You opened this didn't you? Why?
    Bridget: How do you know I did it?
    Vicky: Because nobody's been home since the mail came.
    Bridget: Michele was here.
    Vicky: I was with Michele at the Center, and I dropped her off at the library on the way here.
    Bridget: What about dad?
    Vicky: Your father is working. Bridget why are you trying to weasel your way out of this?
    Bridget: Why is this so important to you? Because it's Michele's letter.
    Vicky: I don't have favorites! I love you just as much as I love any of my children.
    Bridget: Yeah right mom!
    Vicky: Is this what it's about? You're jealous of Michele? She's been accepted to Harvard.
    Bridget: What about me? Do you marvel over the things that I do like you do Michele?
    Vicky: If I hadn't found this letter, you never would have told us. My God, you're scaring me. You're reminding me of your great grandfather.
    Jake interrupts and admonishes Vicky never to compare their daughter to Reginald Love.

    Rachel: That's not true.
    Elizabeth: Sure it is. The funny thing is that every man you've been with you've had a child. You had Jamie with Steve Frame, Matt with Mitch Blake, Amanda with Mac, and Cory and I with dad.
    Amanda: That's enough Elizabeth!
    Rachel: It's alright Amanda. She needs to watch her mouth!

    Rachel: You two look very happy.
    Mitch: Yes, we are.
    Felicia: I thought we'd keep you some company since the kids are dancin' the night away.
    Rachel: You know you think are gonna stay those adorable little babies, but they grow up, and fast.

    Tyrone: Starry sky...
    Marley: Hey...I owe you an apology.
    Tyrone: For what baby?
    Marley: I've been so distant lately. Dealing my own guilt...my therapist has really helped me.
    Tyrone: Are you sure Marley?
    Marley: What do you mean? Of course I am.
    Tyrone: I want you to get better. Yes I want to have mind blowing sex with my wife, but I will be here. I love you so much Marley. I'm not gonna leave you at your worst.
    Marley: I am getting better. For me, and for us.

    Mitch: I'm sure you'll savor the memories.
    Rachel: Yes I will.
    Mitch: I'm sure Matt had a great time at his prom.
    Rachel: Yes he did. Mac and I helped him get ready for all of that.
    Mitch: You and Mac did a great job with Matt.
    Felicia notices a look between them, and then Rachel's cell phone rings.

    Elizabeth (giving Cory a bottled water): I got this for you.
    Cory: It doesn't have liquor in it does it?
    Elizabeth: I wouldn't do that to you. Drink it. I called mom.
    Cory: Why did you do that?
    Elizabeth: Because she's our mom, and she would kill us if she didn't find out from us.
    Cory: Since when did you become the good kid.
    Elizabeth: Since when did you let someone get u drunk?
    Bridget is standing next to Jake, and Elizabeth approaches her.
    Elizabeth: Why did you try to get my brother drunk? What kind of a person does that?
    Jake: Elizabeth---
    Elizabeth: No you are despicable for giving my brother vodka, all because you wanted to get under your sister's skin. You're horrible!
    Jake: That's enough Elizabeth! She's feels bad enough.
    Elizabeth: You need to get control of your daughter, because she is all over the place.
    ----------------------------------------------------
    Vicky and Reginald watch them.
    Reginald: Vicky...you may not want to hear this, but---
    Vicky: What are you gonna say? Bridget's like me? Well this is not the time for that!
    Reginald: I'm concerned for her. If Michele doesn't make it....
    Vicky: She's gonna make it! I'm not thinking negatively like you are! Michele's gonna pull through this.
    Reginald: How are you going to help Bridget after tonight?
    ----------------------------------------------------
    Sharlene is in Gregory's hospital room
    Sharlene: WHat is going on with you? You could've been killed tonight!
    Gregory: I can't help it mom. I just get so angry and I can't control it. Mom's what's wrong with me?
    Sharlene: We're gonna have to get you some help. I don't know why you get so angry.
    Gregory: Dad took the door off of my bedroom, and I got real angry and drove off. Did I get in an accident? I don't even remember.
    Sharlene: Oh honey. Just rest...where's your father?
    Gregory: I don't know. Mom?
    Sharlene: Yes honey.
    Gregory: Why can't I move my legs?
    Sharlene realizes he may be paralyzed.
    Gregory (becoming afraid): I can't move my legs mom.
    ----------------------------------------------------
    John approaches Jake, Vicky and Reginald.
    Vicky: John? How's my daughter?
    John is silent, as if to not know how to respond to his niece.
    Vicky: John! Tell me that you saved Michele!
    John: She suffered severe head trauma.
    Jake: But she's gonna be okay right?
    Reginald: I will call the best specialists to come help her.
    John: Reginald you can call the calvary. There will be nothing they can do.
    Vicky: No. No...no John you've got to save my daughter!
    John: Her body is fine, but there's no brain activity.
    Jake: What are you telling us?
    John: She's brain dead, and she's not breathing on her own.
    Jake: You've got Michele on a respirator?
    John: It's the only that's keeping her alive.
    Jake: Oh my God!
    Reginald: There's got to be something you can do to save her!
    John: Reginald she's brain dead. There's nothing else we can do. Jake, Vicky, you give us the word, and we'll shut the machine off.
    Vicky (crying): Oh no! No! No! Not my baby!
    Vicky turns her anger toward Bridget, who is also distraught, while Tyrone, Marley, and Donna arrive.
    Vicky: You did this! You pushed Michele out into the street! You might as well have killed your own sister!

    Frankie: Everything's good right?
    Jake: Yep.
    Frankie: Any new developments on Mrs. Jones's case?
    Jake: I actually just came for a quick minute. I gotta go back out. I'm tailing Mr. Jones.
    Frankie: You're good at this P.I. thing.
    Jake: Well I learned from you.
    Frankie: We have Ryan to thank for that. We used to run this place.
    Jake: Yeah well I'm...I'm gonna get outta here.
    Frankie: Good luck!

    Frankie: He's working on a case.
    Paulina: Thanks for seeing me today.
    Frankie: I just want you to know that I'm working feverishly to find the person who killed your husband.
    Paulina: I know it must be killing you to have to keep this from Cass and Sharlene.
    Frankie: If I tell them that I'm investigating who tried to shoot Grant that day of his acceptance speech, then I would put them and my daughter in danger, and I can't live with myself if I do that.
    Paulina: I really appreciate what you're doing. It'll bring Dante and me some closure.
    Frankie: You're my friend. We're gonna find out who's behind it.

    Michele: I'm okay.
    Reginald: Just okay? Well aren't you graduating soon?
    Michele: I can't wait.
    Reginald: You'll be off to college and starting a whole new life.
    Michele: It's so exciting. All these schools are sending me letters and practically begging me to come to their institution.
    Reginald: I'm glad that you're happy my dear.
    Michele: Thanks Grandpa Reginald.
    They hug, and Vicky interrupts the union.
    Vicky: You stay the hell away from my daughter!

    AMANDA'S OFFICE
    Allen walks in with a tablet..
    Allen: I called a few of your old clients. Some of them have a case of writer's block.
    Amanda: I guess what they get when they're older. I keep telling mom that we have to cater to a younger generation, especially with everybody e-publishing.
    Allen (giving the tablet to Amanda): This is my business plan. Keeping the current clientele happy, while gaining younger, fresher talent.
    Amanda: This is absolutely great Allen. I'll run this by my mom.
    Allen: Why?
    Amanda: Well my mother owns the company.
    Allen: Your mom's not here.
    Amanda: I'd like her to take a look at this. I'm sure she'll approve of it.
    Allen (walking up to Amanda until he's face to face with her): You know what, sometimes you just have to go with it. You can't always run things by mama for her approval. You think it's a great plan don't you?
    Amanda: This is a great strategy.
    Allen: Well then, approve it! There's nothing better...than a woman who takes charge.
    Amanda continues to find herself drawn to Allen.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    LOVE MANSION
    Donna opens the door...and gets a surprise.
    Donna: Tyrone. Um..Come in. Where's Marley?
    Tyrone: She's home.
    Donna: What brings you by?
    Tyrone: I don't know where else to turn.
    Donna: Tyrone what's wrong? Is something wrong with Marley?
    Tyrone: I'm afraid there is, and it's affecting our marriage.
    Donna: Is there anything I can do to help?
    Tyrone: I want to understand what she's thinking. She's becoming a bit despondent and distant.
    Donna: Marley has been through a lot.
    Tyrone: It's like she's allowing her guilt and shame surface again. She was doing well for a long time. I thought we were past it.
    Donna: She still feels guilty about locking Vicky up in the basement, and the situation with Jake before that. I thought she was working through all that. Do you want me to talk to her?
    Tyrone: I love your daughter Donna.
    Donna: You are the best thing that's ever happened to her. I don't want to see either of you unhappy. I really appreciate you loving her the way you do.
    Tyrone: I will do anything for Marley. I wish I could reach inside of her and pull all her pain and guilt out of her.
    Donna: Just keep doing what you're doing. Just keep being the great husband that you are to her.
    Tyrone: Thanks Donna.
    They hug and stare at each other for an extra second.
    Tyrone: I...better go.
    Donna: Yeah....Marley needs you.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    Reginald: Come on Vicky, Michele and I were having a perfectly good time.
    Vicky: Michele why don't you go wait in the car for me?
    Michele: Mom---
    Vicky: Go please.
    Reginald: What is wrong with you?
    Vicky: I'm gonna stop you right where you are.
    Reginald: Michele is my family.
    Vicky: You stay away from Michele, Bridget, or anyone I care about. You're poison.
    Reginald: Why don't you let Bridget and Michele make that decision?
    Vicky: That's why they have Jake and me. By the time they see your toxic ways it'll be too late!
    Reginald: The more you try to keep them away, the more they'll come to me, and you and your beloved Jake will look like the bad guys.
    Vicky: You're using them to get to Donna, me, and Marley! I will do whatever it takes to protect them from the likes of you!
    After Vicky storms off, Reginald receives an email on his Blackberry...and is delighted by what he reads. He then places a phone call.
    Reginald: The train has left the station. The plan is in motion.

    Rachel: How was school?
    Cory: It was what it was.
    Rachel: Something's wrong.

    Rachel: Because you're my son, and I know when something's wrong with you. Is it your girlfriend?
    Cory: Michele and I are fine.
    Rachel: Well I won't push.
    Cory: Maybe I'm just missing dad.
    Mitch is let in and hears Rachel and Cory from the foyer.

    Rachel: Now, one more question for you?

    Frankie: Lila made him and Charlie happy, and I didn't want to interrupt their lives.
    Sharlene: Honey, Lila could never replace you. You are Charlie's mother. She will always need you.
    Frankie; All I would ever want is for Cass and Charlie to be happy, more than even my own.
    Sharlene: You stayed away for years, long after Fax was killed.
    Frankie: I did come back.
    Sharlene: Under an assumed identity.
    Frankie: I saw how happy Cass was with Lila. He moved on...and so did I.

    MEANWHILE, AT ANOTHER PART OF BAY CITY CENTER

    Mitch: Elizabeth, Dante.
    Dante: Hi Mr. Blake.
    Mitch: May I have a word with Elizabeth in private?
    Dante: Umm..I'm gonna head home.
    Elizabeth (pecking Dante on the lips): See ya. Text me later.
    Mitch: Your mother's worried about you.
    Elizabeth: Oh really! So she sent you to drag me home like I'm some neanderthal. Well don't worry. I'll go home on my own.
    Mitch: I'll give you a ride.
    Elizabeth: What is this with you? Are you trying to take my dad's place because you're not gonna do that!?
    -----------------------------------------------------
    Frankie: I miss everyone Aunt Sharlene. I needed to see my family. You, Charlie.
    Sharlene: As happy as I am to see you, there's something off about this.
    Frankie: It's sweet of you to worry, but there's nothing going on. I'm just trying to reconnect with the things and the people I care about.
    Sharlene: You are just like your mother. Trying to be strong.
    Frankie: Well I'm heading to the office. I've got work to do.
    Sharlene: We have to do this again soon.
    Frankie: Yes of course. I love you.
    Sharlene: Love you, too.
    ------------------------------------------------------
    Felicia: I'm sorry.
    Cass: About what?
    Felicia: You turned white when I mentioned Frankie.
    Cass: Whatever gave you that impression?
    Felicia: Because she's the love of your life. Of all the women you've had, nobody made as happy as Frankie did.
    Cass: I spoke to her yesterday.
    Felicia: And?
    Cass: She said she loves me.
    Felicia: Well then, you both should try and get back together.
    Cass: There's only one problem with that...she doesn't.
    -------------------------------------------------------
    Rachel paces in the Cory Living Room when Mitch walks in with Elizabeth, and Rachel confronts her daughter.
    Rachel: Where the hell have you been? I've been calling you! You were supposed to be home an hour ago.
    Elizabeth: Dante and I went to have a latte and I lost track of time.
    Rachel: You are already grounded, and I said I would add a month if you violated the terms.
    Elizabeth: Mom I forgot what time it was.
    Rachel: I don't know you insist on making things difficult for yourself.
    Elizabeth: So what are you gonna do mom? Put me in jail?
    Rachel: That's a thought!
    Elizabeth: Why are you trying to ruin my life?
    Rachel: Your life is my life until you turn eighteen. Until you pick up your grades, you are grounded!
    Elizabeth: I can't wait to get out of here!
    Rachel: Be careful what you wish for! Now go to your room!
    Elizabeth: You're the worst!
    Rachel: You'll thank me later.
    Elizabeth storms off and upstairs, and Mitch walks closer to Rachel.
    Rachel: Thank you Mitch. How did you know where she was?
    Mitch: All the kids go to Bay City Center after school. I figured she might be there. I came to check on you.
    Rachel: Well I'm going to pull my hair out dealing with that child.
    Mitch: I wonder if you gave Ada this much trouble when you were a teen.
    Rachel: You know what, you might be onto something. Everything's coming full circle. I was a rebellious teen myself.
    Mitch: Ahhh see.
    Rachel: I think mom has come back in the form of Elizabeth, to give me as much hell as possible.
    Mitch: Well I see you're in rare form. I'm gonna head out then.
    Rachel: Mitch wait....don't go.

    Sharlene: Okay honey.
    John: What are you doing?
    Sharlene: Just doing some cleaning while the food's cooking.
    John: I just wanted to call you and tell you I love you...right before my consult.

    --------------------------------------
    At Cory Publishing, Allen shakes hands with Rachel and Amanda in Rachel's office, and leaves.
    Amanda: Well...what do you think?
    Rachel: He's definitely qualified. The most qualified of all the candidates we interviewed today.
    Amanda: Well I like him.
    Rachel: Oh?
    Amanda: I think we've found our new Marketing Director
    Rachel: Come to think of it. I actually agree with you. Send his papers down for a background check. If that comes back clean, then he's hired.
    --------------------------------------
    Donna converses with Tyrone and Marley.
    Tyrone: After all that man (Reginald) has done to you, I see why you're all skeptical.
    Marley: You don't even know the half of it.
    Donna: And you don't wanna know. So how are you two doing?
    Marley rushes to Tyrone's side.
    Marley: We're fine. We're doing great.
    Tyrone gives a a half smile...
    Tyrone: Yeah...never better.
    Donna: Good...well I'm gonna get out of your hair. I just wanted to pay you two a visit.
    Marley: Anytime.
    As Donna walks from the house, someone hiding in the bushes watches her, and then turns his/her attention to Tyrone and Marley whom this person can see through the window.
    Tyrone: Let's go upstairs.
    Tyrone starts to kiss Marley on her neck, and Marley pulls away slightly.
    Marley: Umm let's watch a movie.
    Tyrone: Marley the movie can wait. I want to make love to my wife.
    Marley: And we will.
    Tyrone: We haven't had sex in weeks.
    Marley: My therapist said we should do non sexual activities together. That might get me in the mood.
    Tyrone: Baby we were doing well, and just in the past few weeks you've gone back.
    Marley: Back to what? My old crazy self?
    Tyrone: That's not what I meant and you know that.
    Marley: Come on. Somewhere in the back of your head, you think I'm a nutcase don't you?
    Tyrone: Stop using that to push me away. I love you...too much. I know what you went through. I fell in love with you then. You can't keep letting those memories come back.
    Marley: And that's why I'm seeing a therapist, so I can work through my issues.
    Tyrone: You're forgetting something Marley. You're my wife. Your issues are my issues, too. You've got to let me help you, too.
    Marley: You don't get it do you? I have to work through what Jake did to me, and the fire. I don't feel worthy of you, and it doesn't make me feel sexy, and for us to have a successful marriage, I've got to get past these issues.
    Tyrone: I'm goin upstairs. Good night.

    Gregory is eating dinner in the kitchen and Sharlene watches from the kitchen door...
    Sharlene: Slow down on that plate son.
    Gregory: This is good mom.
    Sharlene: How was football practice?
    Gregory: It was hard. I'm so hungry.
    Sharlene: I bet.
    Sharlene sits across from him at the dinner table.
    Sharlene: Anything on your mind? Anything you want to talk to me about?
    Gregory: Me and Elizabeth are good.
    Sharlene: That's good. Anything else?
    Gregory: Mom what's this about?
    She takes out the needle.
    Sharlene: This. I found this is the hall bathroom. You're the only one who uses it. Are you abusing drugs?
    Gregory: No of course not!
    Sharlene: Then what is it for?
    Gregory: It doesn't belong to me.
    Sharlene: Then how did it get in the hall bathroom.
    Gregory: I don't know mom.
    Sharlene: Gregory Hudson don't lie to me!
    John walks in the kitchen.
    John: It's mine.
    Sharlene: What are you doing home so early? And what are you doing with this needle?
    John: Someone took my place in surgery. I was testing it for a patient of mine. I knew you would react this way if you had found it in our bathroom. I'm sorry honey. You can throw it away.
    Sharlene: I intend to.
    Sharlene walks out of the back door to discard the needle...
    John: Greg...I had the needle tested. You're shooting steroids again aren't you?
    Gregory: Come on dad. You know why I do it. So I can get an edge.
    John: I've talked to you time and time again about what steroids do to your body. Why do you insist on taking them?
    Gregory: Dad the season's almost over. After that I'll stop.
    John: Have you had any uncontrollable rages?
    Gregory: Dad. I'm fine. I'm not a patient at the hospital.
    John: Son I don't want you destroying yourself just so you can be better than the next guy at the football field. It's not worth it!
    Gregory: Lecture time right.
    John: You're lucky I haven't told your mother yet. She'd make you stop playing football.
    Gregory: I appreciate that. You know how important football is to me.
    John: If I catch another steroid laced needle in this house, I'm gonna make you stop playing football.
