    Donna makes a vow



    HARBOR CLUB...Donna and Cass sit at one of the tables as they go over some paperwork...



    Cass: EL Industries' deposit has been made. That's the last one. They're the principal investor.



    Donna: I would like to meet the person behind EL Industries. I want to thank them for helping me realize this dream.



    Cass: Whoever is behind it has controlling interest in the club.



    Donna: I will make sure they get a return on it. I really want to thank them.



    Reginald walks up to them...



    Reginald: You're welcome.



    Donna: What are you talking about?



    Cass: That's what I'd like to know.



    Reginald: You wanted to know who your principal investor was. Well you're looking at him.



    Donna's elation quickly turns to horror.



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



    BAY CITY CENTER



    Rachel and Paulina have a bite to eat at one of the tables.



    Rachel: Did you get the notice for the hearing?



    Paulina: Yes. It boggles my mind though. I can't believe Amanda and Iris are contesting the sale of Cory Publishing.



    Rachel: There was a stipulation in Mac's will that allows them to do it. All of Mac's children are gonna have to present for this hearing.



    Paulina: What about Matt and Sandy?



    Rachel: They're not gonna be able to make it so they gave me their proxies.



    Paulina: I'm gonna come...just to stop Iris from getting control.



    Rachel: I get a headache just thinking about it. This was all Amanda's idea.



    Paulina: Enough about this hearing. How are you and Carl?



    Rachel: We're fine. I'm happy that he's home. At least Elizabeth and I are. Cory...not so much.



    Paulina: What's wrong with Cory?



    Rachel: He's holding Carl's past against him. I never would have imagined that there would be this much tension between them.



    Paulina: You have Iris to thank for that....



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



    POLICE STATION



    Grant walks into Jack's office.



    Grant: Detective Snyder.



    Jack: Grant what do you want?



    Grant: I just wanted to...come and check things out at the station. I may end up being your boss.



    Jack: Everything's fine here.



    Grant: You know...it feels great to have a woman like Paulina by my side during this campaign.



    Jack: So THAT'S why you came here. You won't be getting my vote.



    Grant: I enjoy dating Paulina, and I'm not gonna let anybody...come between us...and that includes you.

    Donna: That's ridiculous. You can't be.



    Cass: I agree.



    Donna: I'll consult the other investors to have you thrown out.



    Reginald: That will be difficult.



    Cass: No it won't.



    Reginald: I bought all the other investors.



    Donna: Your investment will be null and void and you'll have to return everybody's money.



    Reginald: I'm surprised you didn't put two and two together Donna. EL Industries?



    Donna: EL? Elizabeth Love. You used mother's name to cover up who you were. When are you going to LEAVE US ALONE!



    Reginald: You should be GRATEFUL. If it weren't for my money this club would still be closed.



    Donna: I am so sick...and TIRED of you ruining our lives. Mine, Nicole, our children! I'm gonna put a stop to it...once and for all.



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



    Rachel: How so?



    Paulina: When she was released she tried to poison Dante's mind against me, but he would have none of it.



    Rachel: I don't know why Cory won't give Carl the benefit of the doubt. Carl loves his son with all of his heart.



    Paulina: Give him time. He'll come around.



    Rachel: Hopefully sooner rather than later, so how are things with you and Grant?



    Paulina: That came out of left field.



    Rachel: It is kind of weird for me to say. I'm so used to you and Joe.



    Paulina: You know what Rachel I really don't know about Grant. I appreciate everything he's done for Dante and me, but there's something that just keeps me from diving in.



    Rachel: Could it be...Jack Snyder?



    Paulina: Of course not. Jack is a longtime friend. He's been absolutely wonderful.



    Rachel: Are you sure that you think of him only as a friend?



    Paulina: It wouldn't matter one way or the other.



    Rachel: You sound a little disappointed. Maybe your feelings for Jack are more than what you think they might be.



    Paulina: He's not available. We can only be friends.



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



    Jack: Is that supposed to be some type of warning?



    Grant: You can take it any way you want, but Paulina is taken.



    Jack: So am I.



    Grant: Carly Tenney. I've heard a lot about her.



    Jack: Carly has nothing to do with this.



    Grant: Oh but she does. Especially if she found out the amount of time you've spent with Paulina.



    Jack: Last I looked, Paulina isn't married anymore, so what she does when she's not with you is none of your damned business.



    Grant: I love Paulina, therefore what she does is my business, and you should make it yours to stay away from her.



    Jack: You don't scare me Grant. I've dealt with people far more dangerous than you.



    Grant: You used to work for James Stenbeck...so what! This is different.



    Jack (shuts the office door and walks right up to Grant): I care about Paulina, too, and if I think she's in any kind of trouble, I'm going to protect her.



    Grant: That's what she has me for. She doesn't need you.



    Jack: If I have to protect from YOU, I will. If you do anything to hurt Paulina, you will answer to me.



    Grant: I don't take kindly to threats.



    Jack: Have a good day Harrison.

    Kirkland's past won't go away



    Donna is at Cass's place talking to Nicole....



    Donna: Daddy has controlling interest in the Harbor Club.



    Nicole: What? How did that happen?



    Donna: He bought out all the other investors that I had lined up.



    Nicole: Why does he insist on ruining our lives? He had me pumped full of drugs in Pinehaven, and now he's got control of your club.



    Donna: Cass is looking to get it nullified. He'll have to return all the monies.



    Nicole: I can't believe he used mother's name as a cover. He's stooping to all new lows.



    Donna: We shouldn't be surprised at what Reginald's capable of.



    Cass walks in...



    Cass: Donna I'm glad you're here. I've got some bad news. Reginald's investment is legit.



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



    PI FIRM



    Jake and Frankie are there and Frankie tallies the numbers.



    Jake: What's wrong?



    Frankie: The firm's not doing well.



    Jake: Why?



    Frankie: The jobs just aren't coming in. Rachel's job is still keeping us afloat but it won't for long.



    Jake: Maybe we should have taken that job for Kirkland.



    They both chuckle.



    Frankie: Not at the expense of my daughter.



    Jake: Kirkland and Charlie seem to be getting close.



    Frankie: Tell me about it. I mean you saw Charlie in here. Blasting Kirkland not to use in his vendetta against Grant. It's so obvious that she has feelings for him.



    Jake: She must see a different side of Kirkland, because all I saw that day was a replica of Grant. He's nothing like the boy Vicky and I raised. You should've seen the look in his eyes. He is determined to take Grant down, but I'm afraid of what it's going to do him.



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



    KIRKLAND'S HOTEL ROOM



    Kirkland opens the door...



    Kirkland (surprised): Charlie?



    Charlie walks in and Kirkland shuts the door.



    Kirkland: My dad told you came by his house looking for me. I'm sorry I wasn't there...



    Charlie: I love you.



    Kirkland: Wait...what did you just say?



    Charlie walks up to him...



    Charlie: You heard right. I love you Kirkland Harrison.



    Kirkland: What about the election? My father?



    Charlie: I don't care about that. We've wasted enough time already.



    They kiss passionately...

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



    Donna: No! There's got to be SOMETHING we can do.



    Cass: I've combed through all the books at the office. I read this contract at least ten times. It's tight. Your father essentially has control of the Club.



    Donna: This can't be possible. I can't live under the specter of him anymore.



    Nicole: I'm sorry that daddy is doing this to you. I know how much you wanted to re-open that Club.



    Donna: I'm SICK and tired of him controlling our lives. We've GOT to stop him.



    Nicole: Cass are you sure that there's nothing else that we can do?



    Cass: The laws state that the next of kin gets all of Reginald's estate...



    Donna (interrupting): In case of his death.



    Cass: That's probably the only way you're going to get control of the Harbor Club.



    Everyone looks at each other, and all are silent and Cass breaks it.



    Cass: Donna? What are you thinking about it?



    Donna: Umm....Nothing. Just that the world will be a better place without daddy in it.



    Cass: You shouldn't be talking like that.



    Donna: It's the truth! He has been tormenting us from the beginning. He separated Marley and me from Victoria. He also separated Allen from Nicole, and is the cause of her cancer. Now he wants to control the Harbor Club. Don't you think he's done enough? SOMEBODY has to put a stop to it, and if it's me, then so be it.



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



    Frankie: I understand your concern, and as much we'd like to shield them from the world, we probably won't be able to.



    Jake: I know that, but I can see the resentment eating Kirkland alive. I want to reach inside of him and take it out.



    Frankie: You probably have Grant to thank for that. He tried so hard to take him from you and Vicky, and now it's coming back to him.



    Jake: He's becoming more and more like Grant.



    Frankie: It's gotta be you and Vicky's worst nightmare. But he's not a little boy anymore



    Jake: And Charlie has grown up to be a fine young lady.



    Frankie: SHe sure has. They grow up so fast. It seems like yesterday that we christened her in our home.



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



    Kirkland holds Charlie as they lie in bed, after having made love...



    Kirkland (straddling Charlie's hair): You're so beautiful.



    Charlie: I'm sorry.



    Kirkland: You're apologizing for being beautiful?



    Charlie: No silly. I wasted time. Judging you and denying my feelings. You're a wonderful guy.



    Kirkland: That's all water under the bridge. I am happy that you came to your senses though.



    Charlie: I...don't want to get hurt.



    Kirkland: I love you. I would never hurt you. You're so genuine and innocent, that's why I fell in love with you.



    Charlie: Have you ever been in love before?



    Kirkland pauses...



    Kirkland: Not like this....and I want to show you how much.



    They kiss...and meanwhile...Kirkland's cell phone is on the nightstand, and he receives a text from 262-555-0987...the text reads: You came to town and you didn't bother to call me?

    The tension builds
    Vicky is on her cell phone at the LOVE MANSION with Donna...
    Vicky: Jake what are you talking about?
    Jake: Bridget's not here. I don't have a good feeling about this.
    Vicky: I'll be right there.
    Donna: What's wrong?
    Vicky: I'll tell you later. Don't go anywhere. I'll be back.
    Vicky leaves and Donna looks at the gun in her purse.
    Donna: There's something I have to do.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    AT THE CORY MANSION
    Rachel walks downstairs to the foyer, with her coat on, and she has a flashback of her conversation earlier with Allen (episode 100)
    Rachel: It’s time I paid Reginald Love a visit. He caused me to lose my company.
    Rachel walks toward the door, but Cory calls out for her from the living room doors.
    Cory: Mom?
    Rachel: Cory. You're up late.
    Cory: And you're going OUT at this hour. Where?
    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    Vicky arrives at the McKinnons and calls out for Jake...but no answer.

    CORY MANSION
    Rachel: I just...feel like a walk on the grounds tonight.
    Cory: Mom, it's cold, and it's almost twelve o'clock. Dad must be getting on your nerves.
    Rachel: Son, with everything that's happened this week with Cory Publishing, and with Iris, I need to take a walk and clear my head.
    Cory: I owe you an apology mom.
    Rachel: What are you sorry about?
    Cory: I know I've...given dad a hard time since he came back.
    Rachel: He is very hurt by the way you've behaved toward him.
    Cory: I don't mean to be like that. I just...I just gotta make sense of everything.
    Rachel: Honey, your father has done questionable things in the past, as have I, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't love you. He loves you and Elizabeth unconditionally, and that's what you need to hold on to.
    Rachel pecks Cory on his cheek.
    Rachel: I'll be right back.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    PLANE
    Bridget is there with one of Reginald's hired men.
    Bridget: So you're not gonna let me call my parents?
    Man: Nope.
    Bridget: Why not?
    Man: Sometimes the answer's just no.
    Bridget: They're probably worried sick about me. Do you have kids?
    Man: Is this an interview? Are you working on a school project or something?
    Bridget: Well if I can't call my mom and dad, can I at least call my great-grandfather?
    Man: Why do you want to call him?
    Bridget: He's probably worried about me, too. They're gonna come looking for me you know.
    Man: Oh I'm sure they will look, but will they find you? THAT'S the question.
    Bridget: Well then since you're so confident that I'll never be found, can I at least call my great-grandfather.
    Man: Sure go ahead.
    Bridget dials Reginald's number under the man's watchful eye. Bridget tries to leave a message, but he snatches the phone from her.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    REGINALD'S SUITE
    Reginald: And why would I know where Bridget is?
    Jake: Because unfortunately she likes you.
    Reginald: Well Bridget is neither here, nor has she come here.
    Jake: We came home from the Harbor Club and she was gone.
    Reginald: Maybe she went out. She is eighteen now.
    Vicky shows up.
    Jake: You're awfully cavalier about this. You know something don't you?
    Vicky: I thought I'd find you here. Grandfather you know something about where Bridget might be?
    Reginald: Well both of the keystone parents are here. If you were any kind of mom and dad you would know where your daughter at this time of night. Bridget needs to be away from the both of you.
    Vicky: Wow funny to hear you talk about parenting Reginald, especially after what you've done to my mother, Nicole, and Peter.
    Reginald: Michele is dead because you both are unfit.
    Vicky: Where's Bridget?
    Reginald: IF I knew where Bridget was, do you think I'd tell you?
    Jake: You're going down for kidnapping.
    Reginald: You don't have any evidence Mr. Private Investigator.
    Vicky notices a missed call on Reginald's cell phone on the table. She runs over and picks it up. Reginald tries to stop her, but Jake holds him back. Vicky calls the last number dialed...
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Man: Yeah.
    Bridget screams for help in the background.
    Vicky: Bridget?
    The man quickly hangs up.
    Man: You shouldn't have done that.
    The man pours chloroform on a cloth.
    Bridget: No. Please...
    The man goes to apply the cloth to Bridget, but suddenly he is knocked unconscious with a lamp post, and Bridget is shocked.
    Bridget: Uncle Peter? How did you?
    Peter : Don't ask. Just know I'm gonna get you back home.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Vicky: Oh my God. Where is my daughter?!
    Reginald: I'm gonna be raising her from now on. You both are unfit.
    Vicky: A jumpsuit is gonna fit you. Let's go to the police Jake.
    Jake: If anything happens to my daughter, you're gonna pay...with your life!

    Amanda walks into Iris’s office with her tablet…
    Amanda: I’m getting the final numbers together.
    Iris: I’m glad you’re here. How was your evening?
    Amanda: As if you’re really concerned.
    Iris: Amanda, we’re working together, so can we at least be cordial. We don’t have to be mean to each other.
    Amanda: Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful to be back here at daddy’s company, but working with you is not going to be easy.
    Iris: I’m not stupid. I know you don’t trust me after what happened at the hearing, but somewhere deep down, you want what’s best for Cory Publishing, and so do I. That’s why I need to talk to you.
    Amanda: About what?

    Iris: I’ve been thinking about some changes here at Cory Publishing. In fact, I don’t want it to be called Cory Publishing anymore.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    BAY CITY CENTER
    Rachel is sipping her coffee and looking at her tablet, and Paulina walks up to her.
    Rachel (getting up): Paulina honey. It’s great to see you.
    Paulina (sitting down): It’s been a while for us.
    Rachel: Yes it has, and it is long overdue. So glad you called me.
    Paulina: I know you’ve been a little preoccupied after what happened with Cory Publishing.
    Rachel: That was difficult, but no matter what is going on in my life, I always have time for you. So what’s goin’ on? Tell me.
    Paulina: I called you because we need to put our heads together.
    Rachel: And do what?

    Paulina: And find a way to get Iris out of Cory Publishing.

    Stacey opens the door, and Vicky walks in.
    Vicky: We have to talk about Lindsay.
    Stacey (shutting the door): I’m not discussing my daughter with you.
    Vicky: I’m sorry but this has to be discussed. Did you know that Jake hurt his knee and Lindsay is his physical therapist?
    Stacey: I’m aware of that.
    Vicky: Well that can’t happen. You’ve got to convince Lindsay to give Jake’s care to another therapist.
    Stacey: I don’t appreciate you coming to my apartment telling me how to handle my daughter.
    Vicky: Do you want the truth to come out? Do you want see how much this might hurt Lindsay?
    Stacey: Of course not.
    Vicky: Then do something!

    PART 2
    Amanda: What do you mean?
    Iris: It’s time to move the company into a new era. The company can’t do what it did in the past and expect to be successful.
    Amanda: That’s obvious.
    Iris: Times have changed and the company has to change with it. That being said, I would like to take the company into new ventures, like television shows.
    Amanda: That’s very risky. Networks are not as patient as they used to be with shows. If they cancel the shows after a couple of airings, then we lose money. I’m not sure if we should be taking chances like that.
    Iris: Why not? Didn’t daddy have to take chances in order for his company to grow? I want this company to do more than just print. I want people to watch our programs on their tablets and laptops anytime. There is money to be made in those markets. That’s why I want to change our name.
    Amanda: Change our name? You mean the company’s name.
    Iris: That’s right. I want Cory Publishing to now be called Cory Productions. Are you with me?

    Amanda: Hmmm…I think you’re right. I’ll go with it. Cory Productions it is.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Rachel: Paulina I…
    Paulina: Iris doesn’t deserve to be in control of Cory.
    Rachel: That company belongs to all of you. That’s what Mac wanted.
    Paulina: It’s yours, too Rachel. Dad loved you.
    Rachel: Yes and I loved him, too, but I probably can’t help you.
    Paulina: Why not?
    Rachel: It’s Carl. He’s afraid that if I fight for Cory Publishing, that it will consume me and I’ll put it before our marriage.
    Paulina: Oh come Rachel I don’t think he truly believes that, not after all you two have been through to be together.
    Rachel: For some reason, Carl thinks he’s in competition with Mac. He couldn’t be further from the truth.
    Paulina: Of course he is. He’s your husband, and he loves you. He has to understand that you will always be part of Cory Publishing.

    Rachel: A part of me will always love Mac, but I love Carl with all my heart. That being said, I have an idea of how we can start the process of taking Iris down.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Vicky: Look I didn’t come to fight about this. We both have our reasons for not wanting Jake to know that he’s Lindsay’s father.
    Stacey: We both agree that Jake can’t know the truth. Lindsay could be devastated if Jake can’t a feel a bond with her because he doesn’t remember anything about how we…
    Vicky: And who knows what’s going to happen if Jake has all those memories rushing back to him?
    Stacey: We’re trying to protect the people we love.
    Vicky: That’s why you’ve got to get Lindsay away from Jake.
    Stacey: You worry about Jake, and I’ll handle Lindsay.
    Vicky leaves and Stacey makes a phone call…
    Stacey: It’s your mother. Can you come to my apartment? It’s very important.

    Michael is with Donna at the Love Mansion in their bedroom. Michael puts on his gray hooded sweatshirt and Donna lies in bed. Donna gets up, walks over to Michael, and places her arms on his shoulders.
    Donna: Where are you headed? You just got back. We have sooo much catching up to do.
    Donna starts kissing Michael on his neck.
    Michael: There’ll be plenty of time for us to do that dear.
    Donna: It’s killing me not to be able to tell the girls that you’ve returned. They still think you’re dead. And you haven’t met Bridget yet. She reminds of me somewhat of you, and Marley’s having a baby.
    Michael: Honey don’t worry. We will all be together okay. There’s just one more thing I have to do.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    At the hospital…
    Felicia: Are you kidding? He proposed to her? I guess that’s why he asked if I could let Charlie off early.
    Cass: Wait a minute. You knew about this?
    Felicia: Kirkland asked if he could have the terrace to himself, and if that Charlie could get off early. I thought he wanted to just have a nice dinner with her. It never occurred to me that he was gonna give her an engagement ring.
    Cass: Well he did, and I can’t get on board with it.
    Felicia: Oh Cass honey I knew this day would come.
    Cass: I’m not naive. I knew Charlie would one day want to get married and have a family of her own, but she’s just too young right now. Why is Kirkland rushing her into this?
    Felicia: I don’t think you know everything about it.
    Cass: And you do?
    Felicia: You act as though Charlie didn’t have a say in this. Kirkland asked her to marry him, and she said yes.
    Cass: She doesn’t know what she’s doing.
    Felicia (sighing): When Lorna was having an affair with Grant, I was certainly opposed to it, but I had to let her make her own mistakes. That is what you are going to have to do with Charlie.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Frankie: Come here honey.
    Charlie sits next to Frankie on the bed and lays her head on Frankie’s shoulder.
    Charlie: Dad is gonna have to realize that I’m a grown woman. I want to marry Kirkland and the sooner he accepts it, the better.
    Frankie: Your father loves you. He just wants what’s best for you, as I do.
    Charlie: I understand that but dad has to realize that Kirkland is nothing like his father.
    Frankie: Look I’ll talk to your dad, but you gotta realize that your dad only is looking out for your best interests. He loves you, and no matter how old you get, you’re always gonna be our little girl. You’ll understand that once you have children.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Michael is at a door when Matt joins him holding an envelope full of documents.
    Matt: Are you ready?
    Michael: As ready as I’ll ever be.
    Matt: You’re only doing what dad would want.
    Iris opens the door.

    PART 2
    Cass: Wouldn’t you want to do something if you thought Lorna or Jenna was making a bad decision?
    Felicia: Of course. Protecting our children is a parental instinct, even when they become adults.
    Cass: I have to convince her that this is not a good choice.
    Felicia: I know you don’t want to hear this but there’s nothing you can do about it. All you can do is be there for her when she needs you. You’re going to have to let go.
    Charlie walks up to within earshot of Cass and Felicia around the corner.
    Cass: It seems like yesterday when Frankie and I were holding this beautiful little baby. Since then, all I wanted to do as her father was to protect her, and never let anything or anyone hurt her.
    Felicia: But we can’t shield our children forever honey. IF marrying Kirkland is a mistake, it’s Charlie’s to make.
    Cass: I love her so much. I just don’t want anything to happen to her.
    Charlie emerges as her eyes well up with tears...
    Charlie: I love you, too dad.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Someone rings the doorbell at the Love Mansion and Donna opens it.
    Donna: Marley. Come on in. How are you?
    Marley: I just came to visit. Haven’t heard from you.
    Donna: I’ve just been a little...preoccupied.
    Marley: Oh come on Donna, you’re never too busy for me or Vicky. That’s my next stop.
    Donna: You should be getting as much rest as possible instead of being out. I’m surprised Tyrone hasn’t locked you in the house.
    Marley: Are you suggesting I should be imprisoned? We’ve had enough of that in our family haven’t we?
    Donna: You must be talking about daddy. Keeping Nicole locked up at Pinehaven; trying to kidnap Bridget. Yes I’d say this family is tired of imprisonments.
    Someone rings the doorbell and Marley opens the door, looks down, sees an envelope, and picks it up.
    Donna: What’s that?
    Marley (looking over the envelope): I dunno, someone left this at the door. Doesn’t even say who it’s from.
    Donna opens the envelope and drops its contents in horror. Marley is equally as shocked as she and Donna stare at a gun.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Michael: You have?
    Iris: Not much gets by me Mike.
    Matt: So then you know why we came.
    Michael: We’re giving you a chance to do it here.
    Matt (taking out a paper): All you have to do is sign this.
    Iris (reading the paper): My resignation? You want me to leave my post as CEO of Cory Productions.
    Michael: Better to do it now.
    Iris: What’s in the envelope?
    Matt: It’s dad’s will. You and Tucker McCall thought it was fake, but it’s every bit as real as you and I. Look at this.
    Iris (looking over the papers and laughing): THIS is what you came to tell me?
    Matt: You knew?
    Iris: Everything. Daddy told me a long time ago that I was adopted. That doesn’t change ANYTHING! I am entitled to Cory Productions just as much as you, Paulina, Amanda, and Sandy are. You think you and Michael are just gonna come over to my suite and kick me out of the company because I’m not related to Mac by blood?
    Iris turns to Michael.
    Iris: And that YOU are now the sole owner of Cory because you are daddy’s firstborn son.
    Michael: You can make this easier on everyone by resigning.
    Iris: I will NEVER quit!
    Michael: I only want to do what our father wanted.
    Iris: And what is it that you think daddy desired for all of his children? For everyone to have equal ownership?
    Matt: YOU want to keep the company for yourself and we’re not gonna let that happen.
    Michael: You’re gonna have to give up your stake.
    Iris: I don’t have to do a damned thing. How dare you come here trying to force me to resign! I will have this tied up in court for years. When I’m through, there will be no Cory Productions for any of us.

    PART 1
    GRANT’S MANSION - Grant opens the door and greets Kirkland.
    Grant: Hey son.
    Kirkland: You called?
    Grant: How do you feel about your upcoming nuptials?
    Kirkland: Feel great. Thank you for your blessing. I know I don’t deserve it after the way I’ve treated you.
    Grant: I love you son, no matter what, and I will always support you. Have you told Victoria?
    Kirkland: I haven’t gotten around to telling mom yet.
    Grant: I’m not just talking about the wedding. I’m concerned about you son.
    Kirkland: Dad I really don’t wanna talk about that!
    Grant: You can’t keep that bottled up. You have to tell your mother and Charlie, because you don’t want them finding out from someone else.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    BAY CITY CENTER - Vicky sits at a table flashing back to Donna telling her that if she doesn’t tell Jake about Lindsay being his daughter, her marriage will be over, then Jack approaches her.
    Jack (sitting down): This is where I found you last time, and you looked like something was on your mind then, too.
    Vicky: But it looks like you’re the one who could use a friend right now.
    Jack: Yeah...yeah you’re right.
    Vicky: What’s going on?
    Jack: Carly asked for a separation.
    Vicky: Oh no. I’m so sorry about that.
    Jack: I have to deal with that AND Grant Harrison. How did you do it?
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    P.I. OFFICE - Frankie walks in, turns the lights on, and sees Jake with his feet up on his desk.
    Frankie (startled): Whoa Jake. Why are you sitting in the dark?
    Jake: I came here to think, and since business has been slow lately, I suppose you did, too.
    Frankie (sighing): Maybe I’ll dig up some cold cases.
    Jake: Nope, first you gotta tell me what’s bothering you, and I bet it has something to do with Cass.
    Frankie: You think you’re so perceptive. I mean, not everything that bothers me involves Cass.
    Jake: Yeah suuuure.
    Frankie: Okay okay. Yes Cass and I are on opposite sides of the river.
    Jake: Well that can’t be good. I know Christy Carson’s parole hearing is close. You two need to be united in keeping her in prison.
    Frankie: That’s just it. I don’t think she deserves to stay there.
    Jake: But Cass does.
    Frankie: Right. He was furious when I told him that Christy and I were writing each other and that I was visiting her.
    Jake: Well understandably so after what she did to you and Cass.
    Frankie: Well after seeing her and talking to her, I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt.
    Jake: You sound like Vicky after Marley locked her up for weeks in a cold basement. I had to see for myself that Marley was sorry and that she changed.
    Frankie: I think Christy’s changed.
    Jake: Well, you can tell Cass that until your face turns royal blue, but he’s gonna have to see it for himself for him to believe you.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    MENTAL INSTITUTION FOR THE CRIMINALLY INSANE - A guard is escorting Christy to the visitors area.
    Christy (elated): I’m so happy that Mary Frances came to see me. My parole hearing is this week you know. She’s gonna help me get out of here.
    They arrive at the visitors area, the guard opens the door, and Christy is shocked to see Cass.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    PART 2
    Grant: Your secret’s safe with me, but you should tell Victoria and Charlie as soon as possible. Believe me, you don’t want to start a marriage with secrets.
    Kirkland: Mom doesn’t have to know that I was with Scott Granger back at school.
    Grant: Son if they find out another way, it will only end badly.
    Kirkland: Dad why is this so important to you?
    Grant (putting his hands on Kirkland’s shoulders): I don’t want you to live a lie. I want you to be better than I was when it came to women, or whomever you want to be with.
    Kirkland: I want to be with Charlie! I love her. I would never hurt her, and telling her about Scott would do just that.
    Grant: You’re walking a tightrope with two ton bricks in your pocket.
    Kirkland’s phone vibrates.
    Kirkland: I gotta take this.
    Grant: Is that him?
    Kirkland: See ya later dad.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Vicky: Words can’t begin to describe it. He pulled every stunt he probably could think of to get full custody of Kirkland.
    Jack: Shooting himself and framing you for it takes the cake.
    Vicky: Why are you asking me about Grant?
    Jack: He’s trying to keep me and Paulina apart.
    Vicky: They got back together right?
    Jack: No, not according to her.
    Vicky: He must think there’s a chance between them, and he views you as a threat.
    Jack: Clearly he’s no good for her.
    Vicky: There’s nothing Grant won’t do to get what he wants. I’ve seen it and lived it. You better be ready for him.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Grant is on his cell phone.
    Grant: I will be there to get it. Thanks.
    He hangs up.
    Grant (smiling): Oh Detective Snyder, you’re gonna learn that you shouldn’t stand in the way of what I want.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Christy: I’m...I don’t know what to say.
    Cass: Were you expecting someone else?
    Christy: Not really no.
    Cass: I know that Frankie has been here to see you, and that you two have been sending letters to each other.
    Christy: She told you that?
    Cass: Why wouldn’t she?
    Christy: Well I know you two aren’t married anymore.
    Cass: That has nothing to do with it. She seems to think that you’ve changed.
    Christy: I’ve gotten help since I’ve been here, and I can assure you that I’m not the same woman who did all those horrible things to you and Mary Frances.
    Cass: I had to come out here, and see for myself what Frankie was talking about, and I don’t believe it for one second. What’s your angle Christy?
    Christy: I’ve paid the price for Douglas’s murder. I deserve a second chance just like anyone else.
    Cass: Not you. You forgot about your Oscar winning performance at the hospital when Douglas died, framing Frankie for his death, and trying to poison me.
    Christy: I’m truly truly sorry for what I did. I don’t know what else to tell you.
    Cass: You calculated and planned to get Douglas and Frankie out of the way so you can get to me.
    Christy: I...I hope someday you’ll find it in your heart to forgive me as Mary Frances has. I mean isn’t that what you want to teach Charlie? That people can change?
    Cass: YOU don’t utter my daughter’s name of your mouth! You haven’t changed at all!
    Cass gets up…
    Christy: You don’t mean that Cass. You should follow Frankie’s example. She’s the sweetest, kindest person I know, and I’m sure Charlie is, too, and it will be better for all of you if you gave me another chance.
    Cass: You SHUT UP! I’m gonna do everything I can to make sure you stay locked up for the rest of your life.

    Toni and KC sit at a table.
    Toni: How did your visit go?
    KC: I absolutely loved it. I’m surprised how great their pre-med program is.
    Toni: What about NYU and UCLA?
    KC: All I got from them were acknowledgement letters. BCU is actually moving forward. I think I wanna go there.
    Toni: But NYU and UCLA are better schools.
    KC: BCU has a great program, you’re here, and mom’s not too far away.
    Toni: You can’t make a decision based on family. You have to do what’s best for you.
    KC: I’m getting the feeling you don’t want me to attend school in Bay City. I wonder why.
    Allen walks up to them.
    Allen: Hey Toni.
    Toni: Umm...hey. Uh, you haven’t met K.C.
    Allen: Hi K.C. nice to meet you.
    KC: Likewise. You’re my sister’s ex-husband right?
    Allen: Yep.

    Tyrone and Marley lie on the couch as Tyrone rubs Marley’s belly.
    Tyrone: This little guy’s defying all the odds.
    Marley: He sure is. He’s our little warrior.
    Tyrone: Wait a second.
    Marley: What is it?
    Tyrone: Roman.
    Marley: Roman?
    Tyrone: His name. Our Roman warrior. Roman Montgomery.
    Marley: What about his middle name?
    Tyrone: Name him...after your dad.
    Marley: Michael. Roman...Michael...Montgomery.
    Someone rings the doorbell, and Tyrone answers it.
    Tyrone: Hey Donna.
    Donna: Tyrone nice to see you.
    Marley sits up and Donna walks in.
    Donna: Marley how are you feeling honey?
    Marley: I’m okay.
    Donna: Don’t shut the door yet Tyrone. I’ve come bearing one big gift.
    Marley: What is it? A cake that someone’s gonna pop out of?
    Donna: Even better.
    Michael walks in.

    KIRKLAND’S SUITE -
    Kirkland and Charlie are sitting on the couch as Charlie lies in Kirkland’s arms.
    Kirkland: I can’t believe your dad actually gave you his blessing.
    Charlie: I checked his temperature to make sure he was okay.
    Kirkland: I’m pretty sure he was just fine. You know what that means right?
    Charlie: That...uh...we’re gonna get married?
    Kirkland: That means we can...set a date.
    Charlie: I say...the sooner the better. It means so much that he’ll be giving me away.
    Kirkland: I need to thank him personally.
    Charlie: I really think that since Christy Carson wasn’t granted parole, dad’s felt good about giving me his endorsement.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    AT THE MENTAL HEALTH FACILITY FOR CRIMINALLY INSANE…
    Eric: I should’ve been at the hearing for you mom.
    Christy: I’m glad you didn’t come. They would have figured out that you’re my son.
    Eric: I probably could have said something to get you out of here.
    Christy: Don’t worry about me honey.
    Eric: You’ve missed most of my life.
    Christy: And we are gonna make that time up. Don’t you fret.
    Eric: I know it wasn’t your fault. Douglas and my father left you no choice.
    Christy: He put you through boarding school.
    Eric: I wonder why my father wanted nothing to do with me.
    Christy: Don’t take it personally. He didn’t want much to do with any of his sons. All of his kids were nothing but possessions to him.
    Eric: I heard all about him. He wasn’t a very good man. I wonder if I’m like him.
    Christy: Don’t you talk like that. You’re NOTHING like him! The apple didn’t fall far where David was concerned. He didn’t know much about Henry, but Paul, ohhh he was the apple of your father’s eye, and it turned out that Paul wanted little to nothing to do with him. Truth be told, James Stenbeck wasn’t much a father to any of you. All he was, was your sperm donor.

    Michael: I’ll explain everything soon enough. I just wanted to see my girls.
    Marley: Have you seen Vicky and Bridget?
    Donna: I called them. They’re on their way.
    Tyrone: I can’t believe this. After all these years. I wonder if Reginald has something to do with it.
    Michael: He did. He held me prisoner for years, and he used my brother to take my place.
    Marley: Well you’re back now, and you can’t leave this time. Roman is gonna need his granddad.
    Michael: Roman huh.
    Tyrone: He’s named after you, too.
    Michael: Speaking of relatives, Donna tells me that she has a nephew, and he’s your brother.
    Tyrone: She’s talking about Allen.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Allen: Toni’s told you all about me huh?
    KC: Don’t worry. Nothing bad.
    Allen: I sure hope not.
    KC: I’m considering attending Bay City U. for pre-med.
    Allen: Wow. Sounds real good.
    Toni: I think she should wait to hear from NYU and UCLA first.
    Allen: Whoa those are some good schools.
    Toni: That’s what I’ve been telling her.
    Allen: Seems like she’s a smart young lady. If she wants to come to Bay City, then that’s her decision.
    KC: Thank you Allen. I like you already. That’s the message I’ve been trying to convey to my sister. I gotta go to the ladies’ room.
    After KC leaves...
    Toni: What the hell do you think you’re doing?
    Allen: What? I just offered my two cents.
    Toni: Well we didn’t ask for your opinion!
    Allen: Where is this coming from?
    Toni: If it were up to me, she wouldn’t be coming to school in Bay City.

    Bridget: What did Grandpa Reginald do?
    Marley: He held your grandfather hostage.
    Bridget: Oh my God. You were all right about him.

    Amanda (shaking her head as she clicks her mouse): What is this? What is it for?
    Paulina: She’s definitely hiding something.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ALLEN’S SUITE
    Amanda is buttoning up her blouse in the mirror while Allen walks up behind her shirtless. He then starts kissing her neck.
    Allen: Hey beautiful. You sure you can’t stay a few more minutes?
    Amanda: Oh I’d...love to, but I’m gonna be late for the hearing.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    LOVE MANSION - Michael is putting folders together as he is dressed in a suit in the living room. Donna walks in.
    Donna: You’re getting ready for the hearing?
    Michael (sighing): Yeah uh...I gotta figure this whole thing out.
    Donna: Well you probably only have about an hour to do that.
    Michael: After this, we’re gonna talk about what you told me last night.
    Donna: Look just focus on this proceeding. I promise I’ll tell you what happened.
    Michael: I gotta tell ya, I love my new brothers and sisters, but they’re like a bunch of ravenous lions, and Cory Productions might as well be a zebra carcass. They all want a chunk of it. I’m gonna need all the energy I can muster to get through it.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    IRIS’S SUITE - Iris is in a pink terrycloth with a towel on her head when someone rings the doorbell. Iris opens and Paulina walks right in.
    Iris: I didn’t invite you in here Paulina. As you can see I’m getting ready.
    Paulina: I’m giving you one last opportunity to pull out of this.
    Iris: Not a chance!
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    BAY CITY CENTER - Vicky is walking and looking at her cell phone when she bumps into someone. As she drops her purse, all the contents spill out of it. “Dammit!” She says as she as she’s puts her stuff back in her purse. She looks up and sees Lisa Grady McCleary looking down at her.
    Lisa: Vicky?
    Vicky: Wow oh wow. It gets better.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Meanwhile, from a short distance away, Lindsay continues her conversation with Bridget.
    Lindsay: Are you sure that’s what my mom said?
    Bridget: I know what I heard. She stood in our living room and told my dad that she was still in love with him. You need to tell her to stay away.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    STACEY’S APARTMENT - Stacey is vacuuming near Lindsay’s bedroom and notices Lindsay’s wastebasket.
    Stacey: I guess I’m the only one who sees this thing is full.
    In going to pick it up, Stacey accidentally kicks it over and notices a ripped piece of paper which has a letterhead that reads: LABORATORY COMPANIES, INC., and she wonders where the other half is.
    Stacey: My God is something wrong witih Lindsay?

    PART 2
    Allen: I’d better stop. We need to save our energy for after the hearing. Do you have any idea which way Michael’s gonna decide?
    Amanda: I don’t even know if Michael knows, especially what Iris is trying to pull.
    Allen: It’s weird that she would only want Brava. After all the scheming she did when she got out of prison.
    Amanda: As much as I hate to admit it, she’s the key to swaying Michael’s decision.
    Allen: I say give her what she wants.
    Amanda: What? How can you say something like that? I worked very hard to get Brava where it is now. I’m not gonna just give it up to Iris.
    Allen: I’m sorry beautiful, but you might not have a choice.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Iris: You all have really lost your minds.
    Paulina: It’s the only logical thing to do. Why do you insist on fighting us?
    Iris: Do I really have to explain that to you?
    Paulina: We all are entitled to what our father built, not just you.
    Iris: Why do you think I proposed to have control of Brava?
    Paulina: And you expect us to believe that you did that out of the goodness of your hollow heart?
    Iris: You should be at the Love Mansion trying to convince Michael to do the right thing. I’m not Mac’s firstborn. I’m not even Mac’s biological daughter.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Michael: Off to the hearing.
    Donna: I’m gonna go to the club and finish up some work.
    Michael: We’ll talk later honey. Love you.
    They kiss and Michael leaves. Donna gets a phone call.
    Donna: Hello? What? Oh no! I’ll be right there!
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Lisa: What is that supposed to mean?
    Vicky: Nothing. I gotta get somewhere.
    Vicky runs away, and Lisa notices a hairbrush.
    Lisa: Vicky! Vicky you forgot something.
    Lisa picks it up, and her hand begins to shake.
    Lisa: Oh God. It’s happening again.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Lindsay: Wait a minute Bridget I can’t control what my mother does.
    Bridget: You can talk to her can’t you? My parents are good again.
    Lindsay: Well then if they are as strong you say they are, then what you say my mother said shouldn’t affect anyone.
    Jake approaches the girls.
    Bridget: Dad.
    Lindsay: Hi Jake.
    Jake: Hey Lindsay. Kiddo have you heard from your mother?
    Bridget: No.
    Lindsay: What’s going on?
    Jake: Damn! I was hoping I could stop her here.
    Bridget: Stop her from doing what?
    Lindsay: Seeing my mom.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Stacey puts together the DNA test that Lindsay ripped in half.
    Stacey: Lindsay was holding on to this? She decided not to say anything. My God.
    Suddenly, Vicky knocks constantly on the door…
    Vicky: Stacey open up! Open this door!
    Stacey opens the door with the DNA test in her hand, and Vicky walks in.
    Stacey: What is wrong with you?
    Vicky: I know what you told Jake. You better stay the hell away from him!

    THE LOVE MANSION...Donna is on her cell phone…
    Donna: She came here last night and she was devastated. Yes she’s gonna need us. I told her to go home and work things out with Jake, just like I told you after you found out about Tyrone’s affair, and now you’re gonna have a baby, and to think the doctors told you all those years ago that you couldn’t have children. I should be a marriage counselor.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    AT THE MCKINNONS...Jake is at the front door, and Vicky is standing next to the couch, and Jake shuts the door behind him. He walks slowly toward her, and sits on the couch, and Vicky sits next to him. He puts his right arm around her, and she leans on his right shoulder.
    Jake: Do you remember LJHS?
    Vicky: Lassiter Junior High School.
    Jake: That day we snuck out of third period.
    Vicky: We took a bus to Pittsburgh.
    Jake: Bridget gave you your allowance the day before.
    Vicky: How soon we forget. It WAS winter. I got paid for shoveling five driveways. You only did four.
    Jake: You still won’t let me live that down.
    Vicky: I just had to have those designer jeans. No store in Lassiter had them.
    Jake: There were only two big department stores in town.
    Vicky: But Bridget didn’t understand why we had to go to Pittsburgh.
    Jake: And she called my mom and I got grounded for skipping school.
    Vicky: Well I didn’t exactly escape unscathed. I got grounded, too...for two months, because I told her I was at cheerleading practice. Bridget Connell HATED when I…
    Vicky lifts her head and looks at Jake, realizing why he rehashed this story...
    Jake: Go ahead and say it Vicky.
    Vicky: You tricked me.
    Jake: SAY IT!
    Vicky: How dare you!
    Jake: How dare YOU...LIE to ME! We were best friends since grade school. You’re my wife, we raised Steven and Kirkland. We had two beautiful twin daughters.
    Vicky: And THAT’S why I didn’t say anything about Lindsay.
    Jake: WHY Vicky? I’m your husband. What was the matter? You didn’t trust me?
    Vicky: Trust had nothing to do with what I did.
    Jake: It had everything to do with it Vicky. I had another daughter out there, and you knew about it, and said...nothing.
    Vicky: Remember the part you just said about us being best friends, raising the boys, and the girls. It’s our family. THAT’S what I was protecting!
    Jake: Is that your excuse?
    Vicky: Stacey wants you, and she has this notion that she, you and Lindsay are gonna be a family. I wasn’t gonna let that happen.
    Jake: So you decided that I wasn’t strong enough to handle the truth.
    Vicky: Can you at least try to see it from my point of view?
    Jake: I can’t.
    Vicky: You won’t is what you mean? It’s like you’re TRYING to find a reason.
    Jake: Reason for what?
    Vicky: A reason to quit again! You didn’t even want me to know that Stacey came here and professed her love for you.
    Jake: I didn’t want this. This reaction, this tension.
    Vicky: We had just gotten things back to normal. I didn’t even know if we would make it after Michelle died...because YOU walked out! Did you think things were gonna be perfect?
    Jake: You disowned our daughter in front of everyone!
    Vicky: And Bridget and I got past it. YOU didn’t want to fight for our family, but I do!
    Her eyes well up…
    Vicky: I value what we have, Jake. You made a woman out of me. I was all over the place before we got married. I schemed to get Jamie; married Grant when I was in love with Ryan, then Shane.
    Jake: I remember, but YOU forgot. I stuck by you while you vacillated between your feelings for Shane and your feelings for me.
    Vicky: You did, and that’s why I kept the truth from you. I don’t want to lose our family.

    Bridget is on her cell phone…
    Bridget: I’m so happy that you and Charlie are getting married. This family could use some good news. Mom and dad are downstairs arguing. Mom kept a...I don’t even wanna talk about it. Dad’s like really pissed.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Jake: Same lame excuse.
    Vicky: After everything we’ve been through, do you think I’m gonna just give you up to Stacey?
    Jake: Don’t bring Stacey into this.
    Vicky: Why not? She would like nothing more than for you to go running to her.
    Jake: Stacey is not the problem. It’s you not trusting me. I’m scared Vick.
    Vicky: I DO trust you, it’s HER I don’t trust.
    Jake: For God’s sake you’re blaming Stacey for the problems that we are having. It shows that you don’t even see it.
    Vicky: You’re saying I don’t trust you. Are you sure you’re not projecting how YOU really feel about our marriage?
    Jake: What Stacey said was not something you needed to know about.
    Vicky: Ahhh there it is! It takes two, Jake. As much as you say I don’t trust you, it’s YOU who doesn’t trust me.
    Jake: I do trust you.
    Vicky: No you don’t. You walked out on us once before, and it seems like you wanna do it again because I made a mistake. You aren’t even trying to understand why I didn’t tell you about Lindsay being your daughter. I wanted to protect our family, and YOU didn’t want me to know about Stacey being here. I’m scared, too.
    Jake: I didn’t go to great lengths to deceive you. You didn’t even want me to remember what happened in Los Angeles! You lied over and over again.
    Bridget comes to the top of the stairs…
    Vicky: So let me ask you, what do you want to do? Do you wanna stay and fight with me? Or are you gonna walk out on us again?
    Bridget runs downstairs to the living room.
    Bridget: Dad tell me you’re not gonna leave us again!
    Jake looks back and forth at Vicky and Bridget…

    MENTAL INSTITUTION...Steven is with Sharlene in a therapy room.
    Sharlene: So did you get your tux fitted?
    Steven: Yes we did.
    Sharlene: Did you see Charlie?
    Steven: Briefly. It’s good to see my brother happy.
    Sharlene: I remember when Emma got married to Henry. She was on top of the world. It was one of the happiest days of her life. I just wish your Aunt Janice could’ve experienced the same thing.
    Steven: I know what happened with Mac Cory and...what she did.
    Sharlene: It was difficult to hear when Mitch told me the story. I never thought that my sister would turn out the way she did.
    Steven: So that begs the question, why were one of your alters named after her?
    Sharlene: She wanted to protect me.
    Steven: Why?
    Sharlene: Something happened in St. Croix. I can’t remember what it was. I can only recall leaving the bunker after it was burned to the ground. I just couldn’t handle being kidnapped by my own nephew. When I got back to Bay City, that’s when she started aggressively pushing me to let her out.
    Steven: When Janice resurfaced, she went after my great-grandfather. Why do you think she did that?
    Sharlene: It could probably be the same reason she tried to kill Carl and Rachel. Some type of payback.
    Steven: Payback? For what?
    Sharlene: The only person we can ask…
    Steven: ...is her.
    Sharlene: I’m afraid to let her out again.
    Steven: But she’s the only one who can help us figure out what happened. It may be what’s hindering your recovery and integration.
    Sharlene seems unsure about situation.
    Sharlene: I don’t know Steven.
    Steven: I need to ask her why she poisoned Reginald. Aunt Sharlene, for me to help you, I’m gonna need to talk to her. Let me put you under hypnosis.

    Steven: Janice. It’s me Steven.
    Janice: You were named after my brother weren’t you?
    Steven: Yes I was.
    Janice: You got me out huh?
    Steven: Right. I have some questions for you.

Your dad was one Monticello’s finest, anyway what’s up? What? Do you know all the red tape we would have to go through to do that? That’s impossible. We can’t waste resources to...okay, alright.

    Blonde Haired Lady: Hi there. It’s time.
    Marissa: It’s still early. I don’t wanna get up.
    The Blonde Haired Lady is Karen...with a needle.
    Karen: You’re not getting up.
    Marissa immediately wakes up and realizes, she is strapped down, and begins to struggle.
    Karen: You’ve been a bad girl Marissa. You haven’t been taking your medication. You’ve been disobedient to the boss. This will help you sleep.
    Marissa: I don’t wanna sleep! Stop!
    Karen moves to inject Marissa’s arm, then she is suddenly knocked unconscious by Lisa.
    Marissa: Lisa help.
    Lisa: We’re getting out of here.

    Steven: Why did you push Sharlene to let you out?
    Janice: She didn’t have what it took to do what I did.
    Steven: What is it that you did?
    Janice: I had to avenge what he did to Evan.
    Steven: Who did what to Evan?
    Janice: I saw him. There was nothing I could do. Evan was on the floor, bleeding. He had been shot. He knocked me out, but I wasn’t fully unconscious. I saw him take a pole and press it on his neck. I was lying there helpless as I watched Reginald kill Evan. I vowed to do something, and I did.
    Steven: Okay when I count to three, I’m gonna bring you out of it, and Sharlene will return. One, two, three.
    Sharlene opens her eyes and looks at Steven who is shocked.

    Marissa: Remember? What are you talking about?
    Lisa tries to compress the brake, but the car speeds up.

    Nina: Please, just give me more time.
    Madeline: I’m getting too old to try and keep up with a twenty year old. He comes and goes when he pleases, he stays out days at a time. God only knows what he’s doing? He has to go back to Port Charles with you Nina. I just can’t do it anymore.
    Nina: Mom please just work with me on this.
    Madeline: I worked with you in getting Ava out of the way didn’t I? Against my better judgment I might add.
    Nina: And I faked Dr. Nakamura’s death for you. Where is he anyway?
    Madeline: I have to call him and ask him something.

    Carl puts his arms around his wife...
    Rachel: I’ve already called Elizabeth. Needless to say she’s very thrilled. As I’m sure Cory will be.
    Carl: He might not be too happy to know that you lied about my whereabouts.
    Rachel: I did it to protect him. I hope he’ll understand it.

    Reginald: Well I think you need to find her.
    Karen: I told you that Lisa is not going to get far.
    Reginald: What are you talking about? What did you do?
    Karen: I cut her brake cables.

    Reginald, to Karen’s surprise, grabs and squeezes her arm.

    Karen: I...I...don’t think…
    Reginald: That’s the problem!
    Karen: Mr. Love you’re hurting me…

    Meanwhile, Lisa’s car is in a ditch. Lisa is in the driver’s seat, still unconscious with blood on her face. Michele (formerly Marissa) is in the passenger’s seat. She was unconscious but has come to, and looks at Lisa is horror. Michele has recovered her memories.
    Michele: Lisa? Lisa wake up. Oh God.
    She then reaches for Lisa’s cell phone, and sees that it has a small amount of battery left.

    BAY CITY CENTER...Cory is sitting at a table and Bridget walks up to him.
    Cory: Hey Bridget what’s up?
    Bridget: I needed your help with filling out this class schedule for BCU.
    Bridget takes out her tablet…
    Bridget: It keeps saying that I haven’t selected enough classes.
    Cory (looking at Bridget’s tablet): You haven’t.
    Bridget: How’s that? I mean, do you see these classes? They’re grayed out.
    Cory: Because those are mandatory freshman courses. You can only choose the electives.
    Bridget: Oh. That’s it.
    Cory: Yeah, duh.
    Bridget: I wish I was more like Michele when it comes to these things. She was like super smart.
    Cory: That’s true.
    Cory’s cell phone rings and he looks at it.
    Cory: What number is this?
    Bridget: Why don’t you answer it?
    Cory: Amanda tells me I shouldn’t answer numbers I don’t recognize.
    Cory presses “ignore”, but he has no idea that Michele was the one calling him from Lisa’s phone.
    Michele: Cory. Cory it’s me. Please you gotta help me.
    Michele is right outside the car. She looks at the phone and realizes it’s dead, then Lisa begins to wake up, but she is weak.
    Lisa: Michele.
    Michele runs to her.
    Michele: Lisa? Lisa come on we gotta get outta here. You gotta get some medical attention.
    Lisa: Take my phone.
    Michele: It just died.
    Lisa: Go. Get some help.
    Michele: I can’t leave you here.
    Lisa: I’ll be fine. You go. Go home.
    Michele: No...Lisa...no..
    Lisa gets weaker as she moves her head back and forth, then suddenly she stops moving and closes her eyes.
    Michele: Lisa. Lisa wake up please. Stay with me! Lisa! Lisa!

    Sharlene: Is that true? Reginald killed Evan?
    Steven: That’s what Janice told me. I’m glad you let her out.
    Sharlene: Wow.
    Steven: She said she saw my great grandfather strangle Evan with a pole.
    Sharlene: Why did he do it? Did Janice say anything about that?
    Steven: She didn’t go into detail about it, just that she wanted revenge. She wanted to atone for not saving Evan’s life.
    Sharlene gets up and looks away from Steven. She seems a bit dumbfounded.
    Sharlene: So she poisoned Reginald to death. I killed someone.
    Steven: You didn’t do this. Janice did it. You can’t blame yourself for this. This is a breakthrough. Before we can integrate you, you have to accept the fact that you are not responsible for Reginald’s death, or for anything that Janice did.
    Sharlene: Did she say anything about Carl?
    Steven: Carl Hutchins?
    Sharlene: Yes. She poisoned him, too.
    Steven: She did a lot of damage.
    Sharlene: You see why I was hesitant to have you bring her out.
    Steven: What else did she do?
    Sharlene: She stabbed Mitch and tried to kill your grandmother.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Reginald: Rachel Cory Hutchins. It’s been a while since we last saw each other.
    Rachel: It was in your suite before you ate your poisoned food.
    Reginald: Shame. That meal was rather tasty.
    Rachel: I came to...thank you.
    Reginald: For what?
    Rachel: Saving my husband’s life. If it weren’t for you, he wouldn’t be alive.
    Reginald: I’ve always had a great deal of respect for you Rachel. Even though you used blackmail to do it.
    Rachel: I did what I had to do to save Carl’s life.
    Reginald: I understand.
    Rachel: But I do have to ask you something.
    Reginald: What is it?
    Rachel: How did you survive that poisoning after lying there so long?
    Reginald chuckles.
    Reginald: Mrs. Hutchins, I survived a fall off a clock tower. Did you really think a few drops of a neurotoxin could kill me?
    Rachel: You sound like you have a feeling of invincibility.
    Reginald: That’s because I do.
    Rachel: How did you do it?
    Reginald: I trust that you will keep your promise, because you love your family, because what I’m about to tell you, you mustn’t tell anyone.
    Rachel: You have my word.
    Reginald: Do you remember the Secret Garden?
    Rachel: That sounds familiar. Wait a minute. That has something to do with Jordan Stark. He was trying to take my daughter with him, and I wouldn’t let him. Do you know about him?
    Reginald: Know about him? I know him.
    Rachel: I don’t understand.
    Reginald: I took over. I am the Head of the Lumina Foundation.

    Anna: You use the memory of my dead child to play some game of yours? You’re a real sick bitch!
    Dr. Obrecht: No I’m a highly intelligent woman, who knows zat your baby is still alive.
    Anna: Get the hell out of here!

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Anna: Oh nothing. She was just playing her games.
    Anna quickly recollects herself after being rattled by Dr. Obrecht, then she turns to Emma.
    Anna: How’s my baby girl?
    Emma: I’m fine.
    Robin: I was gonna take her to see Patrick, but she wanted to see
    grandma first.
    Anna picks her up.
    Anna: You’re getting so big. You know if your mom wants, your Uncle Duke and I would love for you to stay a weekend with us.
    Robin: Fine by me.
    Anna: Your grandma loves you so much, and after you see your daddy, maybe mommy can drop you off with us.
    Emma: Yes. I want to play dress up with Uncle Duke again.
    Anna (laughing): You can play all the dress up you want.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Michael: What’s up with Morgan?
    Carly: Your brother is happy for you. You know what he’s been through with Ava and Sonny.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Patrick: What do you mean it’s the last time?
    Britt: I can’t keep supporting this habit. You need help!
    Patrick: Come on Britt really?
    Britt bends down and picks up the empty pizza box.
    Britt: Really Patrick? Look at this place. It’s a mess. Patrick get yourself cleaned up. Don’t you want the hospital to reinstate you? You know I can talk to my mom, but if you don’t take the first step then I can’t do anything. Dammit Patrick I can’t stand to see you like this anymore!
    Patrick goes to the coffee table, gets his cell phone, and shows Britt a picture of a baby.
    Patrick: Do you see that? Do you see it?!
    Britt: That’s your son.
    Patrick: That’s right. My son, and Sabrina took him out of Port Charles!
    Britt: That was a mutual decision wasn’t it?
    Patrick: Robin and I had just gotten a divorce, and I wasn’t in any condition to be a father to him because of the drugs, but it still hurts Britt! It hurts that I can’t see my son, and Robin won’t let me see Emma unsupervised! Like I’m gonna hurt my kids!
    Britt: I mean, I can’t blame them…
    A tear drops on Patrick’s left cheek...
    Patrick: What kind of mother keeps their children away from their...own...FATHER! I love my kids.
    Britt (gently): Sabrina and Robin aren’t the kind of women who will keep you from seeing your children.
    Patrick: When you bring me the stuff, it numbs the pain I feel from everything I’ve lost this past year, and you are helping me more than you know.
    Patrick moves closer to Britt and begins to kiss her, and she tries to resist, but she can’t. Meanwhile, Robin and Emma approach the front door.

    Charlie: You know this is our last time together.
    Kirkland: Before the wedding?
    Charlie: Yeah duh?
    Kirkland: Oh you believe in that bad luck thing do you?
    Charlie sits up and looks at Kirkland…
    Charlie: Yes it’s true.
    Kirkland: It’s just a myth.
    Charlie: You’re making fun of me aren’t you?
    Kirkland: I mean...Charlie...what if I wanted to give you a great big kiss before you put on your wedding dress?
    Charlie: Well you’re not supposed to do that.
    Kirkland: Says who?
    Charlie: Says...me.
    Kirkland: Because we agreed not to have a rehearsal dinner.
    Charlie: You know I gotta go to my dad’s right to finalize our plans.
    Kirkland: Well since this is the last time I’m gonna see you before we’re married, we’d better make the most of it huh?
    Charlie looks at Kirkland with a smirk, smiles and joins him back underneath the sheets as they make love.

    Frankie: I’m...here for Charlie. We’re putting the finishing touches on her wedding day.
    Cass: I thought it was a good decision for them not to have a rehearsal dinner.
    Frankie: I didn’t agree with that but, it’s her wedding.
    Cass: Right.
    Frankie: I promised myself that I wasn’t gonna meddle like my mother did.
    Cass: Emma really put her five cents in it didn’t she?
    Frankie: Yeah I know mama meant well. I bet she’s looking down and smiling.
    Cass: And Charlie’s gonna be wearing her dress.
    Frankie: Mama’s gotta be very proud.
    Cass: Well I’m...gonna leave so you all can do your wedding things.
    Cass walks toward the door, but Frankie isn’t done.
    Frankie: Cass...don’t leave yet.
    Cass turns around and faces her…
    Cass: Something else you need?
    Frankie: I need you.
    Cass: Frankie…
    Frankie: I need you in my life Cass.
    Cass: We are in each other’s lives. We’re always gonna be there for Charlie.
    Frankie: I’m not talking about a co-parent.
    Frankie walks up to him and kisses him and Cass kisses her back. Felicia then walks in the living room with a smile. Cass and Frankie are stopped as they hear clapping at the door from Charlie, Stacey, and Lindsay, which causes Cass and Frankie to smile.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    John: How are you feeling?
    Sharlene: I’m getting better every day.
    John: Good. This is what I was hoping.
    Sharlene: I’m glad you called Steven. He’s been great.
    John: There was no doubt in my mind that he would. We’re missing you at the house...Gregory and I.
    Sharlene turns away from John…
    Sharlene: I’ll be home before you know it.
    John: Is something wrong?
    Sharlene turns back around to face John now….
    Sharlene: Something is very off.
    John: Is there anything I can do to help?
    Sharlene: I’ve been very worried about you and Gregory.
    John: Sharlene I told you there’s nothing going between us.
    Sharlene: In the hospital; the last time you both were here. The butter of tension could have had a hot knife slide right through it.
    John: I want you to focus on coming back home to us.
    Sharlene: For God’s sake John stop trying to protect me! You’re not leaving here until you tell me what’s going on between you and our son.

    Jack: How’s your aunt?
    Steven: We’ve made a breakthrough. In fact that’s why I’m here. I have to report a crime.
    Jack: I’ve read up on D.I.D. As long as Sharlene gets therapy she’s not held responsible for poisoning Reginald.
    Steven: Even though he’s dead, I still feel obligated to report it.
    Jack: Are you talking about your great grandfather?
    Steven: Yes. He killed Evan Frame. I know there’s nothing you can do about it.
    Jack: I guess we can add that to list of his charges.
    Steven: Yeah he kidnapped my sister Bridget, but you can’t charge a dead man right?
    Jack: We went to the morgue, and the body that was on the slab was fake. Listen you can’t say anything to anyone about this.
    Steven: About what?
    Jack: We have reason to believe that Reginald’s still alive, and as long as he’s out there, your family’s in danger.

    WINTHROP’S HOUSE
    The Winthrop women (Charlie, Lindsay, Stacey) are with Felicia and Frankie. Felicia and Frankie are off to the side as Charlie, Lindsay and Stacey are gathered around the couch.
    Frankie: Did you call them?
    Felicia: Yeah they should be here any minute.
    Frankie: Felicia, listen. You don’t know how happy it makes me that you’re here for Charlie.
    Felicia: I wouldn’t miss this for the world.
    Frankie: And I’m happy that we’re friends. I know we had a lot of differences in the past.
    Felicia: That was a lonnnng time ago.
    Frankie’s eyes well up.
    Frankie: I was so self righteous about what happened with Aunt Sharlene. I’m...I’m sorry.
    Felicia: Honey...I forgave you a long time ago. Forgive yourself. Tonight and tomorrow will be about Charlie. That’s who we’re here for.
    Frankie: Of course.
    The two join the three Winthrop women at the couch. Stacey is sitting on couch, while Charlie and Lindsay are sitting on the floor leaning on the couch.
    Stacey: So we’ve got two of them.
    Lindsay: Something old and borrowed.
    Frankie: I think Emma’s wedding dress would qualify those.
    Felicia: So we need something new and blue.
    Someone rings the doorbell…
    Frankie: I’ll get it.
    Frankie opens the door, and it’s a hunky man in a Bay City Policeman’s uniform holding an envelope.
    Man: Is Cass here?
    Frankie: No. Why?
    Man: I have to deliver this to him.
    Frankie: I’ll make sure he…
    Frankie stops as the man walks in and Felicia approaches him.
    Felicia: I didn’t hear her invite you in.
    The man opens the envelope and a blue blindfold drops out. Charlie walks over and picks it up.
    Man: Put it on.
    Lindsay brings over a chair and Charlie looks back at Lindsay.
    Charlie: So this must be something new and blue.
    Lindsay: Have a seat girl.
    Lindsay helps to plop Charlie in the chair by her shoulders. Felicia gets the remote and turns on rock music on the MP3 dock. Charlie takes off her blindfold and the hunky man, complete with a six pack stomach, chiseled chest and arms, and only wearing a speedo, starts to gyrate his hips in front of her, and the other ladies root him on. Meanwhile, Frankie tells something to Felicia…
    Frankie: I wonder what my Aunt Sharlene would think of this.

    AT THE MENTAL INSTITUTION, MItch confronts John in front of Gregory and Sharlene in Sharlene’s room.
    Sharlene: Mitch.
    Gregory: No mom I wanna hear what dad has to say about this.
    John: I am not having an affair with Felicia. I told you she was helping me find Michael.
    Sharlene interjects.
    Sharlene: Yes Mitch. That’s what he was doing. He was trying to find his brother.
    Mitch: He’s still alive? Michael’s been dead for years.
    Sharlene: No he’s not. He’s alive.
    Mitch: John you could’ve had anyone else help you. Why my wife? She’s happily married.
    John: Well maybe not. You knew what my wife was going through with the D.I.D. and you said nothing.
    Mitch: You didn’t need Felicia’s help in finding your brother.
    John: And you should’ve told me about Sharlene.
    Sharlene: Look this isn’t getting us anywhere! Gregory, Mitch, I need to talk to my husband...alone!
    Gregory: But mom---
    Sharlene: Go Gregory!
    After Gregory and Mitch leave...
    John: What’s going on with us? You confided in Mitch about what you were struggling with instead of coming to me?
    Sharlene: Is there anything else you have to tell me John?
    John: What does that supposed to mean?
    Sharlene: Let’s do it! Let’s get everything out on the table! Because if you walk out that door with any more secrets, our marriage is over.

    MCKINNONS HOUSE - Kirkland walks in and all the lights are off. Subsequently, he turns them on and, much to the surprise of Kirkland, sees a tanned, slightly petite, beautiful, blonde haired woman dressed in a two piece bikini. She slowly and seductively walks up to Kirkland and unbuttons his shirt.
    Kirkland: What are you doing?
    Jake and Steven appear…
    Jake: What do you think this is?
    Steven cues “Nasty Girl” by Vanity 6 on the MP3 dock, and the girl starts dancing seductively as Jake and Steven root the girl on.

    PART 2
    Felicia walks into her and Mitch’s apartment, turns the lights on, and finds Mitch sitting on the couch, staring at the wall.
    Felicia: Hi honey.
    Felicia puts down her keys on the end table, and sits next to her husband, and Mitch continues to stare off away from Felicia.
    Mitch: How was the party?
    Felicia: Oh it was great. We had so much fun. You should have seen the look on Charlie’s face. She had no idea we got her a stripper.
    Mitch: You mean you didn’t tell her?
    Felicia: Well of course not. That would’ve ruined the surprise.
    Mitch: Surprises you are full of huh?
    Felicia: She enjoyed that, and so did we.
    Felicia leans on Mitch’s left shoulder and he is unresponsive.
    Felicia: What’s going on? Are you okay?
    Mitch gets up from the couch and turns his back to Felicia.
    Mitch: I wonder if I should tell you.
    Felicia: Tell me what?
    Mitch: Don’t you hate to be kept in the dark?
    Felicia: Apparently you like to sit in it. Tell me what’s bothering you.
    Mitch: How’s Michael?
    Felicia: Michael?
    Mitch turns around and faces his wife.
    Mitch: I hope you and John found him...together.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    John: What do you want me to tell you?
    Sharlene: The truth. What else are you hiding from me?
    John: You’re my wife. Why would I hide anything from you?
    Sharlene: Because that’s all you’ve done for these past few weeks. Or has it been longer?
    John: Sharlene---
    Sharlene: What else?
    John: That’s not important---
    Sharlene: What else John?!
    John: Okay. Dr. Taylor.
    Sharlene: What about him?
    John: I told him...I told him to not let you remember anything about the day Grant was shot at the Center opening.
    Sharlene starts shaking her head in apparent disbelief.
    Sharlene: Why? Let me guess...for my protection.
    John: I didn’t want you to end up in a place like this! Listen, all I want is for you to come home, and we can be the family that we’re supposed to be.
    Sharlene: I...I have to think. I need time to think.
    John: Whatever you think about, please always remember that I love you.
    John slowly walks out and Sharlene breaks down crying.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Grant: Did you do it?
    Christy: Oh it’s done, all thanks to you.
    Grant: What else are you going to do?
    Christy: Oh Grant, that’s for you to find out isn’t it?
    Grant: Do I want to?
    Christy pauses.
    Christy: I hate having to do this to Mary Frances.
    Grant: You have a conscience?
    Christy: Yes I do as a matter of fact. Mary Frances is the only friend I’ve ever had. What I’m about to do is going to hurt her very much.
    Grant: Whatever this plan is that you have, you better leave my son out of this.
    Christy: Don’t worry. I’m not targeting Kirkland.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    MCKINNONS HOUSE - The stripper has left as Jake, Steven, and Kirkland are at the couch, and they’ve had a few drinks.
    Jake: Okay that’s enough.
    Steven: You said that three shots ago.
    Kirkland: Jake’s right. I don’t wanna be hung over at the altar.
    Jake: Yeah that...that wouldn’t be good.
    Kirkland and Steven look at each other, and then look at Jake as they heard a slur.
    Steven: He’s drunk.
    Jake: No I’m not.
    Kirkland: Come on Jake you gotta stand up for me tomorrow.
    Jake: I am gonna stand up for you. I wouldn’t miss...your big day.
    Steven: Of course, but Jake you can’t have any more.
    Jake: Kirkland, I hope your marriage turns out better than the one I have with your mother.
    Vicky and Bridget walk in.
    Vicky: I see you guys had a lot of fun.
    Bridget: Did you guys get a stripper?
    Kirkland: Mom.
    Bridget: And it’s a shame that this is the first time I get to see my eldest brother.
    Steven: Comere kiddo.
    Steven and Bridget hug.
    Steven: I’m gonna….head out.
    Bridget: And I’m goin’ to bed.
    After Steven and Bridget leave, Kirkland turns his attention to Vicky.
    Vicky: Well honey you should go and be ready for your big day.
    Kirkland: Not until I find out what’s going on between you two.
    They both look at Jake, who has passed out on the couch.
    Kirkland: Whatever is going on, swallow your pride and solve it. I know you believe what you did was for the right reasons.
    Vicky: Oh you think you know me so well.
    Kirkland kisses his mom on her left cheek.
    Kirkland: I’ll see you tomorrow mom. I love you.
    Vicky: Love you, too.
    Kirkland leaves, and Vicky locks the door, turns around, and looks at Jake, who is sleeping on the couch. She takes the throw blanket that is on the arm of the couch, spreads it out, and lays it gently on Jake. Vicky turns off the light, and walks upstairs.

    AT THE MCKINNONS...Cory and Bridget have unknowingly encountered Michele, who just ransacked the living room.
    Cory: You did this?
    Bridget: Who are you? Why did you do this to my picture?
    Two police officers enter, and Bridget directs them to Michele.
    Bridget: Officer. Arrest her. She broke in here and ransacked the living room.
    Officer #1: Did you do this?
    Michele: Yes.
    Officer #2: We gotta take you to the station. You’re under arrest.
    Officer #2 reads Michele her Miranda rights as Bridget turns to Cory.
    Bridget: I’m getting that feeling again.
    Cory: The same one you got before.
    Bridget: Yeah.
    ----------------------------
    TOPS...Donna talks to Vicky at Donna and Michael’s table as they look at Kirkland and Charlie. Vicky’s cell phone is on the table.
    Donna: Look at them.
    Vicky: I’m so happy for my son.
    Donna: Those two have been through so much in their lives, and now they’re married. It’s amazing. People can get through anything.
    Vicky: Look, don’t mention it.
    Donna: Mention what?
    Vicky: You’re about to make a Jake reference.
    Donna: I simply said people can get through anything. If it applies to you and Jake, then so be it.
    Vicky: Oh Donna whatever.
    Donna: While we’re on the subject…
    Vicky: No…
    Donna: I told you to tell Jake the truth about Lindsay, but you decided to keep it to yourself.
    Vicky: I did what I had to do to protect my family. If he doesn’t understand that, then I don’t know what else to say.
    Vicky’s cell phone vibrates with a text message, and it gets Vicky’s attention.
    Vicky: What’s this? From Bridget.
    Vicky reads the text message that says “Someone broke into the house. They caught the person who did it. Meet us at the police station.”
    Vicky: Oh my God.
    Donna: What is it?
    Vicky: Someone broke into the house.
    Donna: Oh no.
    Vicky: I’m going to the police station.
    Meanwhile, Jake is over with Cass at Cass and Frankie’s table.
    Jake: So how long did it take you to give your blessing to this wedding?
    Cass: It took me a little while, but I saw how happy my daughter was, and I couldn’t deny her that.
    Jake: I mean, I...I understand. I’m gonna give a hard time to any man who wants marry any of my girls.
    Cass: Any father would, but you gotta be careful not to alienate your daughters.
    Jake: Of course not. Bridget and Lindsay are two strong minded girls.
    Cass: So you’ve...talked to Lindsay?
    Jake: I did, right before the wedding.
    Cass: What about my sister?
    Jake: I...haven’t spoken to her.
    Cass: Stacey didn’t want hurt anybody. Not you, not Vicky, not anyone.
    Jake: They had no right to keep the truth from me, though, Cass.
    Cass: Look I get that you’re angry about it, but you need to try to look at it from another point of view. You had your family, and Stacey didn’t want to disrupt it.
    Vicky walks up to them with Donna.
    Cass: Hey Vicky.
    Vicky: Cass hi. Jake we gotta get to the police station.
    Jake: What? Is everything alright?
    Vicky: Bridget texted me. Someone broke into our house. They have the perpetrator at the station.
    Donna: I’ll go tell Michael.
    Meanwhile, John is sitting at a table by himself when Michael walks over to him and puts his left hand on the chair opposite John.
    Michael: Hey bro.
    John: Michael.
    Michael: Mind if I sit?
    John: Not at all, especially since you’ve pulled out the chair.
    Michael: I see you haven’t lost your sense of humor after all these years.
    John: I’m gonna need it.
    Michael: I heard Sharlene got released today. That’s great news isn’t it?
    Sharlene taps Michael on his left shoulder.
    Sharlene: Yes it sure is!
    Michael: Hey, Sharlene.
    Sharlene: Hey...Michael!
    Michael and Sharlene hug, but Michael pulls away as he slightly winces his face.
    Michael: How many have you had?
    Sharlene: A few. It’s a celebration isn’t it? My niece and your grandson got married, and I got to see it, but do you wanna know what happened on our way here?
    John gets up.
    John: Sharlene.
    Sharlene raises her voice and draws everyone’s attention, particularly Mitch and Felicia’s.
    Sharlene: All three of us rode to the wedding together. John, me, and his homewrecking slut!
    Felicia, and Mitch and Gregory come over to his Sharlene, as he realizes she’s drunk.
    Felicia: You watch your mouth!
    Sharlene: You shut up! You should know what it’s like to be drunk!
    Felicia: I get that you’ve been through hell, because I am not gonna sit here and let you embarrass me.
    Sharlene: You’re an embarrassment and a disgrace!
    Felicia: John you need to do something about your wife.
    Mitch gets between Felicia and Sharlene as Gregory comes along.
    Mitch: That’s enough.
    Gregory: Come on mom. Let me take you home.
    Sharlene: I’m not going anywhere until I’m ready! Attention everybody! My husband told me he’s not sleeping with Felicia. If any of you know the real truth, you need to tell me now!
    Meanwhile, Jake and Vicky are with Kirkland and Charlie.
    Jake: Sharlene seems like she’s had one too many.
    Vicky: Yeah I can see that.
    Kirkland: What’s up mom?
    Vicky: I got a text from Bridget.
    Jake: Someone broke in the house.
    Kirkland: What? Someone must known you were gone.
    Charlie: Oh no. I’m gonna get my mom. I’ve never seen Aunt Sharlene like that. Vicky let us know if there’s anything we can do.
    Vicky: You stay here and...enjoy your wedding day.
    Kirkland: Do they know who did it?
    Vicky: Bridget said yes. They’re on their way to the station.
    Kirkland: Go ahead. Let us know what happens.
    Jake: We will.
    Jake and Vicky walk up to the elevator. As the door opens, there are Rachel and Carl.
    Carl: Victoria.
    Rachel: I’m glad we found you.
    Vicky: Oh my God. Carl? You look great. When did you get out?
    Carl: I’ll tell you another time, but there’s something we have to tell you.
    Rachel: It’s about your daughter.
    Vicky: We already know.
    Rachel and Carl look at Jake and Vicky with confusion.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    As the officers are escorting a handcuffed Michele to the door, Bridget confronts her.
    Bridget: Wait a minute. There’s something...so familiar about you.
    Michele: Of course there is. If you haven’t figured it out by now, then you really are stupid.

    PART 2
    AT TOPS…Rachel and Carl are shocked at what Jake and Vicky tell them.
    Rachel: You know?
    Jake: Yeah Bridget said that someone broke into the house, and they’re at the police station.
    Vicky: We’ve gotta go. I’m getting worried about Bridget.
    Rachel: We’ll go with you.
    As the four of them enter the elevator and subsequently leave, Frankie goes over to Sharlene.
    Frankie: Aunt Sharlene, this isn’t the time.
    Sharlene: It’s the perfect time Frankie. I’m exposing to the whole town the cheater that my husband really is. I want a divorce!
    Frankie: Gregory can you take your mom home please?
    Gregory: Of course.
    Sharlene: I’ll get myself home.
    Frankie: Not when you’re drunk. You shouldn’t be alone right now. Please take your mother home Gregory.
    As Gregory escorts Sharlene to the elevator so they can leave, Frankie turns to John.
    Frankie: What happened?
    John: I don’t know Frankie, but whatever it is, it’s between me and Sharlene. Let us work it out.
    Frankie then turns to Felicia.
    Frankie: Is it true? Are you having an affair with John again?
    Felicia: I’m so tired of having to explain myself to everyone.
    Mitch: She’s not.
    Frankie: I sure hope that’s true. Hasn’t my aunt been through enough?
    Frankie walks past Donna and Michael.
    Donna: Michael, we gotta go to the police station. Something’s happened to Bridget.
    Michael: Where are Jake and Victoria?
    Donna: They’ve already gone down there.
    Meanwhile, Kirkland and Charlie sit at their table.
    Kirkland: Wow. What a day this has been.
    Charlie: I hope Aunt Sharlene’s gonna be okay.
    Kirkland: I’m sure she will.
    Charlie: Ever since we got to the reception it’s been one thing after another.
    Kirkland: Makes you wonder what other surprises are gonna happen.
    Charlie: I hope your mom and Jake find out what happened at their house.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    POLICE STATION
    Toni is with Michele at a desk in the front area.
    Toni: Why did you break in the McKinnon’s house?
    Michele: I didn’t break in. I got the key.
    Toni: There were signs of forced entry. Is there something you wanted in there?
    Michele: I’m not gonna tell you.
    Toni: You know, you’re in a lot of trouble. Breaking and entering and vandalism are very serious. You still haven’t told me your name.
    Michele: I’m not telling you that.
    Toni: You’re not being very cooperative and that’s not helping your case young lady.
    Michele: Why don’t you call my parents?
    Toni: Who are they?
    Bridget and Cory walk in...
    Toni: Bridget, Cory. Are you guys here to give a statement?
    Bridget: Yes. She told us that she broke in.
    Toni: You saw her in the house?
    Cory: Yeah we did. It was totally trashed.
    Bridget: My parents are on their way.
    Toni turns to Michele, and at this point, still nobody knows that this girl that ransacked the McKinnons is Michele.
    Toni: So you care to stop playing games and tell us who you are?
    Michele pauses and continues…
    Michele: I’ll tell you when my parents get here.
    This statement catches Bridget’s attention, and Bridget flashes back to an earlier moments of the day…
    EPISODE 181
    Bridget shows (Cory) her picture with the broken glass portrait.
    Bridget: Look at this. My picture.
    -----
    Bridget: I got that feeling again.
    Cory: The one you were talking about at the church?
    Bridget: Yep. It’s like I feel Michele. Almost as if she’s here.
    -------
    Back to the present, Bridget shakes her head in apparent disbelief…
    Cory: Bridget what’s wrong?
    Bridget: No...this can’t be.
    She then goes up to Michele, whom she still does not know that she’s Michele.
    Bridget: Did my great-grandfather send you? You aren’t...you...aren’t who I think you are.
    Michele: Is that right? Who am I then?
    Bridget: No...no it isn’t true. You’re an impostor. Reginald changed your face.
    Toni: Bridget what are you saying?
    Bridget: She’s impersonating my dead sister Michele.
    Michele: There’s only one problem with that. I’m very much alive.
    Bridget: You’re a fake!
    Jake, Vicky, Rachel and Carl walk in, and Cory is shocked.
    Cory: Mom? Dad? Dad when did you…?
    Carl: Son.
    Rachel: I’ll tell you later son I promise.
    Rachel notices Michele, and Toni approaches Jake and Vicky.
    Toni: Jake, Vicky, this is the girl who broke into your house.
    Bridget: She’s impersonating Michele. I think grandpa Reginald sent her.
    Vicky: What? Michele? She’s dead.
    Bridget: She’s insinuating that she’s my sister.
    Vicky: How dare you say that you’re Michele? She would never break in anyone’s house! I say we press charges.
    Jake: Why did you do it?
    Michele: I didn’t break in dad. I got the key from underneath the middle flower pot outside.
    Vicky: How did you know where it was? Did Reginald tell you?
    Michele: No. He doesn’t even know about it.
    Jake: Michele and Bridget were identical. You don’t look anything like her. There’s no way you’re my daughter. Michele died in a car accident.
    Michele: Mr. and Mrs. Hutchins. Please tell them.
    Rachel interrupts.
    Rachel: Jake, Vicky, I have something to tell you both.
    Rachel gives them the paper, and Jake and Vicky both read it over.
    Vicky: No...I’m with Bridget. This is Reginald’s doing!
    Carl: Jake the results from your paternity test with Steven was cross referenced with Michele’s DNA.
    Rachel: We stopped in Oakdale and Dr. Hughes ran the test. It came back positive. This girl is your daughter.
    Jake, Vicky, Bridget, Cory and Toni are all shocked.

    Consultants: A. Washington-Beeby, ML Cooks.


    AT TOPS...Cass is talking to Frankie near the elevator…
    Frankie: I’m worried about Aunt Sharlene.
    Cass: I could tell.
    Frankie: I’ve never seen her like that before.
    Cass: She’s been through a lot.
    Frankie: I know. That’s why I’m gonna be there for her.
    Cass: Do you think that John was telling the truth about not having an affair with Felicia?
    Frankie: You know what, Cass, I believe him. It was over twenty years ago that it happened, but yet it’s still affecting them today.
    Meanwhile, Steven is at the bar nearby, and he’s sending a text to Joy…
    Steven’s Text: I wish u were here w/me. It’s been a great and wild day at my little brother’s wedding. Hope ur well. Talk 2u soon...hopefully.
    Kirkland approaches him.
    Kirkland: You heard about what happened at the house?
    Steven: No. What?
    Kirkland: Someone broke in. They’re at the police station now.
    Steven: Wow I gotta get down there.
    Kirkland: Guess you’re too busy texting that mystery girl you were telling Jake and me about. I see that twinkle in your eye. You like her a lot don’t you?
    Steven: Where my cousin?
    Kirkland: Which one? You’re, like, related to everybody in this town. Gregory left with his mom.
    Steven: So full of jokes on your wedding day. Your wife, my cousin, Charlie.
    They both turn and look over at Charlie and Stacey.
    Charlie: Where did Lindsay go?
    Stacey: She went with Gregory to take Sharlene home. You must feel like you’re on top of the world right now.
    Charlie: I am. I really am. I’ve married the man I love.
    Stacey: I’m so happy for you. Look at my niece.
    Charlie: You know I always thought that you and Uncle Derek were gonna be married forever.
    Stacey: Things just didn’t work out.
    Charlie: Is it because...you’re still in love with Jake? Where did he go?
    Stacey: I think someone broke in their house. He went to the police station with Vicky.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    POLICE STATION...The McKinnons, along with Rachel and Carl, have just discovered that the girl who ransacked the McKinnons house, is their daughter Michele.
    Carl: Jake the results from your paternity test with Steven was cross referenced with Michele’s DNA.
    Rachel: We stopped in Oakdale and Dr. Hughes ran the test. It came back positive. This girl is your daughter.
    Jake, Vicky, Bridget, Cory and Toni are all stunned.
    Vicky: This...this can’t be true. She was brain dead.
    Carl: Reginald’s lackey, Margaret Allen…
    Jake: Margaret Allen? She used to work for Jordan Stark at Lumina. What did she do to…?
    Rachel: She gave Michele a drug to make it appear that she was brain dead.
    Vicky: We all thought she died. Totally something Reginald would orchestrate.
    Carl: He’s the Head of the Lumina Foundation now. He had the resources to save Michele.
    Jake: It’s starting to all make sense.
    Michele: I promise I didn’t tell Grandpa Reginald about the key.
    Vicky: Only the family knows where the spare key is.
    Vicky puts her right hand near her mouth as her eyes well up as she slowly approaches Michele.
    Cory: Mom, dad? Are you absolutely sure about this?
    Rachel: Yes dear. She is Jake and Vicky’s daughter.
    Bridget: My God.
    Vicky: Take those cuffs off of her.
    Toni: So I take it you’re not pressing charges.
    Vicky: We’re taking...our daughter home.

    PART 2
    AT THE MCKINNONS…
    Jake, Vicky, Bridget and Michele walk into a terribly messed up living room.
    Jake: What the…?
    Vicky: Look at this place. This is horrible.
    Jake walks over to the mantel and notices Bridget’s picture covered in cracked glass. He turns to his family to say something, but decides not to.
    Bridget: Mom. There’s something I need to tell you.
    Donna, Michael and Steven walk in and see the ransacked living room, and inadvertently interrupt Bridget. Donna steps over a coffee table leg trying to find a solid place to stand.
    Donna: Victoria what happened here? Are you alright?
    Vicky: Yeah we’re...gonna be fine.
    Donna: You all can’t stay here.
    Vicky (looking around at the mess): You’re right about that.
    Michael: Was there a tornado warning I didn’t receive?
    Donna: There’s plenty of room at the mansion for all of you. We’ll hire cleaners to clean this and you can stay with your father and I in the meantime. Did they find the animal who did this?
    Michele steps up.
    Michele: That animal...is me.
    Donna: Who are you? Why are you here? You should be in jail.
    Michael: I take it the police are on their way.
    Vicky: No we’re not pressing charges.
    Donna: This girl ransacked this house. She needs to pay for that!
    Michael: Why don’t you tell us who you are, and we’ll take you to the police station.
    Jake: There’s not gonna be a need for any authorities Michael.
    Steven: Do you know her or something? Mom?
    Vicky looks at Michele with pride.
    Vicky: Oh we know her. I carried her for nine months.
    Michael: What are you talking about Vick?
    Jake: This girl is Michele.
    Donna: Michele? No. That’s impossible.
    Vicky: Reginald got involved. He changed her face because he planned to keep her away from us.
    Michael: You’re saying this girl is my granddaughter?
    Vicky: Yes.
    Jake: Carl and Rachel got proof before they brought her home. She was being treated at the same clinic that Carl was. This is our little girl.
    Bridget: So glad to have my sister back.
    Bridget hugs Michele and Michele, who is facing Jake, notices Michele’s less than enthused look.
    Bridget: Why did you do this? Why did you ransack the house?
    Michele: I can’t explain all of that now.
    Bridget: And you broke my picture.
    Donna notices Bridget’s picture on the mantel covered in broken glass.
    Donna: You did that? Why did you break Bridget’s picture?
    Jake interjects because he has suspicions as to why Michele did what she did, but does not want them to be addressed now.
    Jake: That’s not important right now. I just want to cherish that we have our daughter back. Our whole family’s back.
    Michele: Dad is Kirkland coming here?
    Jake: The reception should be coming to an end soon.
    Vicky: I told him to stay there with Charlie.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    TOPS...Mitch and Felicia are sitting at their table, and they turn their attentions to Kirkland and Charlie.
    Felicia: They look so happy.
    Mitch: I remember when we first got married.
    Felicia: The happiest day of our lives...that day.
    Mitch: Second to the day we found out about children.
    Felicia: Those kids are on top of the world today. It would seem that nothing can tear them apart.
    Mitch: But it’s only the beginning for them. As you and I both know, it takes a lot to make a marriage work, and they will soon find out the same thing.
    Meanwhile, Grant talks to Kirkland...
    Grant: You look really really happy son.
    Kirkland: I am dad. I love her, and we’re married now. It’s like it’s not even real.
    Grant: I’m glad that...Scott decided not to disrupt your wedding day.
    Kirkland: He saw how happy that Charlie makes me. What happened between me and him is in the past. I’m not going back there, and I’m not going back to the guy that first came back to town.
    Grant: I know I had a lot to do with that. All the tricks I pulled to get custody of you when you were young. I was too selfish to realize the toll it took on you.
    Kirkland: Just like Scott’s in the past, so is all the things that you did. You have Charlie to thank for that.
    Grant: I’m glad I’ve got my son back. There’s just one more thing missing in my life.
    Grant looks over at Paulina and Jack.
    Kirkland: Charlie and I have got a plane to catch soon for our honeymoon.
    Frankie, Charlie, and Cass approach them.
    Frankie: He’s right. Okay everyone! The bride and groom have to go on their honeymoooon!
    An aisle is made with people on each side. Cass gives everyone rice as Frankie directs Kirkland and Charlie to go to the beginning of the aisle. Cass, Frankie and Felicia go to the end of the aisle next to the elevator.
    Cass: Come on kids!
    Kirkland and Charlie walk arm in arm down the aisle as everyone lightly tosses rice over their heads. They get to the end near the elevators where Cass, Frankie and Felicia await them. Frankie and Felicia hug Charlie and Kirkland. Cass kisses Charlie on her left cheek and hugs her, and shakes Kirkland’s right hand. The elevator doors open, and Cass, Frankie, and Felicia’s joys quickly turn to horror.
    Felicia: What the hell are you doing here?
    Cass: This can’t be.
    Felicia, Cass, and everyone else, are shocked as Christy Carson and her son, Eric Stenbeck, have entered the reception.
    Christy: Wow! Looks like we missed a wedding.

    AT STACEY’S APARTMENT



    Stacey is sitting on the couch on her cell phone…



    Stacey: Yes that’s what she told me. Jake told her that he wanted to forge a father/daughter relationship with her.



    She gets up and walks toward the kitchen as she continues her conversation…



    Stacey: Of course she’s always gonna think of you as her dad Derek. Don’t be ridiculous. Hold on I got a call. (she clicks over) Stacey Winthrop. Jake? What? Oh my God. I’ll...I’ll be right there. (she clicks back to Derek). Hey I gotta go. Something’s wrong with Lindsay.



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



    HOSPITAL



    John is in his office looking on his computer, and he receives a file from the lab labeled: Lindsay Winthrop test results. He opens it and examines the results.



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



    Lindsay is lying on a bed dressed in a gown as Gregory holds vigil, and her hand.



    Lindsay: What could be wrong with me? I really thought it was just gas. I...I can’t figure out what’s really going on. Why was all that blood coming out? What if it’s…?




    Gregory: Let’s not jump to any conclusions.



    Lindsay: I can’t help it. What if something is terribly wrong?



    Gregory: Whatever it is, we’ll deal with it together.



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



    Meanwhile, outside of Lindsay’s room, Jake is about to open the door when Vicky approaches him.



    Vicky: Hey.



    Jake: Hi.



    Vicky: Has Uncle John said anything about what’s going on with Lindsay yet?



    Jake: No. We’re still waiting for the results.



    Vicky: You...really seem worried about her.



    Jake: Why wouldn’t I be Vicky? She’s my daughter.



    Vicky: Nobody said you shouldn’t be.



    Jake: I love all of my children.



    Vicky: Since that’s the case, don’t forget about Michele.



    Jake: Vicky I’m not doing this right now. Lindsay needs me right now.



    Jake walks into Lindsay’s room and leaves Vicky standing where she is. Vicky folds her arms in when Michael and Donna approach her.



    Michael: Any news on Lindsay?



    Vicky: No.



    Donna: Well where’s Jake?



    Vicky: He just went in there with her.



    Donna: Did anyone call Stacey?



    Vicky: I don’t know Donna. I don’t know what’s going on anymore.



    Donna: Jake should be here with you and trying to find out what’s going with Michele.



    Vicky: My thoughts exactly.



    Michael: Donna you’re not being fair.



    Donna: Yes I’m being more than fair. Jake needs to be here for Michele, too. Lindsay isn’t the only daughter he has. We don’t know what state of mind Michele’s in right now, and she needs her mother and father.



    Vicky: Once we undo what Reginald did to her, we’ll have the Michele that we all know and love back.



    Donna: You’re in denial Victoria.



    Michael sighs.



    Michael: Listen we’re not gonna do this here okay. We need to see what’s taking Michele so long.



    As Michael turns to go check on Michele, Stacey shows up.



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



    EXAM ROOM



    Bridget and Michele face off.



    Michele: Everybody’s waiting for me.



    Bridget: You’re gonna tell me what you’re up to.



    Michele: Are you sure you wanna do this now?



    Bridget: Yes Michele...now.



    Michele: OMG Bridget.



    Bridget: What are you up to?



    Michele: What are you talking about? Have you gone crazy or something?



    Bridget: You come back, smash my picture, run roughshod through the living room, and then...wait a minute. You said something about me kissing your boyfriend. You saw us didn’t you? You say me and Cory kissing at Kirkland and Charlie’s wedding.



    Michele: So you finally got your claws into him huh?



    Bridget: How long have you really been back? You’ve been spying on us.



    Michele: You’ve always wanted everything that I had. That’s why you got him drunk at the prom. It all started then didn’t it?



    Bridget: I did some terrible things but…



    Michele turns around, away from Bridget, and folds her arms.



    Michele: You’ve always been jealous of me.



    Bridget: I’m sorry about everything that I’ve done.



    Michele (somewhat ignoring Bridget): And it ended with that car accident in front of the school.



    Michele turns back around to face Bridget.



    Michele: All because you were...and are...a selfish little bitch.

    PART 2



    HOSPITAL



    Donna, Vicky, and Michael, face Stacey.



    Michael: Stacey.



    Stacey: Where’s Lindsay? Do you know what’s wrong with her?



    Donna: We don’t know anything. You have to check with John.



    Stacey: Where is she? Where is my daughter?



    Vicky (pointing to the room where Lindsay is): She’s in there. Michael: Jake’s in there, too.



    Donna: Michael!



    Michael: What?



    Vicky: I bet you think this is your chance to make headway with Jake. After all, you are in love with him.



    Stacey: Vicky this isn’t about you.



    Donna: We’re not gonna let you destroy our family. Not this time.



    Michael: Will you two cut it out?!



    Stacey goes to where Lindsay, Jake and Gregory are as Donna turns to Michael.



    Donna: You’re defending her now? After everything she’s done to us.



    Michael: She doesn’t need to be attacked right now by you and Victoria. She’s obviously concerned about her daughter.



    Vicky: Speaking of daughter, I’m gonna go see about Michele.



    Donna: We’ll be right here honey.



    Michael: I hope Lindsay’s okay. Stacey will be devastated if something was wrong her.



    Donna looks at Michael wondering about the concern he is showing Stacey.



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



    Meanwhile, Jake and Gregory are with Lindsay.



    Jake: I called your mom. She’s on her way.



    Lindsay: Why did you do that? I don’t want her to worry.



    Gregory: You don’t have to be tough now. We’re all here for you.



    Stacey walks in.



    Stacey: Lindsay baby. What happened? Are you okay?



    Lindsay: We...don’t know.



    Stacey: Did they run any tests?



    Gregory: We’re waiting for my dad to come back with the results.



    Lindsay: Jake if you wanna go see about Michele, please go ahead.



    Jake: Not until I know that you’re okay.



    Lindsay: No. Go. I’ve got mom and Gregory here.



    Jake: I’m not going anywhere. Not until John comes back with the results.



    Stacey: Is it Bridget? What’s going on?



    Jake: No...it’s Michele.



    Jake turns around, and John appears, which gets everyone’s attention, and they all focus on him.



    Jake: What’s going with my daughter?



    John: Lindsay are you okay with having Gregory and your mother and father here?



    Gregory clenches Lindsay’s right hand, and Stacey clenches her left hand on the other side of the bed, seemingly bracing themselves for what John might say.



    Lindsay: Umm sure. Just tell us what’s...going on.



    John: We got the results of the tests. It’s not good.



    Lindsay: My God. Is it...cancer?



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



    Meanwhile, Donna and Michael continue their conversation.



    Donna: Stacey will be fine. Let her family take care of her.



    Michael: Stacey and I were friends.



    Donna: Even after she took Mikey from us, and represented Jamie in Steven’s custody case. I can’t see the concern that you have for her.



    Michael: Donna what if it was Victoria or Marley in there? You would want someone to show you the same compassion.



    Donna: Oh come on Michael. I have a heart. I don’t want anything bad to happen to Lindsay.



    Michael: But you still hate Stacey.



    Donna: This isn’t about her. It’s about our family. Our children, and grandchildren. I’m very concerned about Michele. Marley had a psychotic break after that fire and almost killed Victoria. I’m not gonna let the same thing happen to Michele and Bridget.



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



    Michele turns around, and walks to the counter slowly. She secretly grabs a pair of gauze scissors and starts digging them into her left arm until she draws blood.



    Michele: I was going to Harvard, but of course, you wanted to sabotage that my stealing my acceptance letter. If I didn’t respond in time, I would have gone on their lonnnng waiting list.



    Bridget: Look I know what I did was wrong, it took me a long time to forgive myself for it.



    Michele: My brain injury; spiking Cory’s drink at the prom; kissing him at the wedding; the fact that I have to learn how to read again..and you somehow made it...about you forgiving yourself. How fitting.



    Bridget: Cory helped me to come to terms with what happened.



    Michele: Cory? Ha! Not only are you a selfish bitch, you’re a manipulative bitch, too.



    Bridget: You have every right to be angry.



    Michele: You’re damned right I do.



    Bridget: But I’m not gonna sit by and watch you carry out whatever it is you’re plotting.



    Michele: I don’t care what you try to do sis, because you are going to pay for what you’ve done.



    Bridget: You need help.



    Michele: The only one who’s gonna need help...is you.



    Vicky knocks on the door asking if Michele is in there and suddenly…



    Michele: Bridget stop it! Mom help! Don’t hurt me!



    Bridget: What? I’m not doing anything!



    Michele races past Bridget, unlocks and opens the door, and hugs Vicky.



    Vicky: What’s going on?



    Michele: Mom she tried to attack me with these scissors! She cut me.



    Michele shows Vicky her left arm as Vicky turns around, with her back now to Bridget, which has blood on it.



    Bridget: She’s lying! I didn’t do that!



    Michele: She’s still jealous of me just like before.



    Bridget: My God she’s such a liar!



    Vicky now turns to face Bridget...



    Vicky: Shut up!



    Bridget: Mom please tell me you’re not falling for this act!



    Vicky: You snuck up here to attack your sister! Have you lost your mind?



    Bridget: She’s the crazy one!



    Vicky: How could you do this to your own sister?



    Vicky hugs Michele.



    Vicky: It’s gonna be okay honey. I’ll make sure Bridget never hurts you again.



    While Vicky is hugging Michele, Michele flashes a devious smile toward Bridget, and Bridget starts to realize just how unstable Michele is.

    AT THE MCKINNONS



    Vicky
    opens the door and sees Steven.


    Vicky: Hey honey come on in.



    Steven: I see you got everything cleaned up.



    Vicky: Yeah.



    Steven: Why are all these suitcases here?



    Vicky: Because Donna is coming to get Bridget.



    Steven: Mom not again.



    Vicky: Bridget is going to go live with your grandparents at the Love Mansion.



    Steven: Did you kick her out?



    Vicky turns around.



    Steven: What’s going on around here? First Jake and now Bridget?



    Vicky: Bridget tried to hurt Michele, and I’m not gonna give her another chance.



    Bridget
    appears at the top of the stairs.


    Steven: Where’s Michele?



    Vicky: She went out.



    Steven: Can you tell me where?



    Bridget: Come on mom is it that hard to figure out? She went to see Cory.



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



    CORY MANSION



    Cory
    and Michele are in the living room.


    Cory: It’s...good to see you. Are you okay?



    Michele: I’m fine. Never better.



    Cory: Good.



    Michele: How’s...everything here?



    Cory: Everything’s good.



    Michele: How’s your relationship with my sister?



    Cory: Michele...we...I’ve been meaning to tell you.



    Michele: When were you gonna tell me Cory?



    Cory: I didn’t know what I was gonna say I....



    Michele: You could’ve moved on with anyone else, but with my sister?



    Cory: We didn’t mean for it to happen. We thought you were dead.



    Michele: I wonder how she did it.



    Cory: She didn’t do anything. She missed you Michele. It took her a long time to forgive herself for what she had done.



    Michele: And you, being you, helped her through it, right?



    Cory: If you’re expecting an apology, you’re not gonna get one. I like Bridget a lot, and I wanna be with her.



    Michele: And I don’t plan on standing in your way.



    Cory: What?



    Michele: You heard right. If you wanna be my sister’s boyfriend, go right ahead. I’m cool with it.



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



    CAR



    Michael
    is driving with Donna.


    Donna: We’ve gotta talk Victoria out of this. Sending Bridget to live with us is not the answer.



    Michael: I don’t agree.



    Donna: How could you not Michael?



    Michael: Maybe it’s best for now.



    Donna: The only thing that’s best is that Bridget and Michele mend their fences and for Victoria to let Jake come home so they can work things out.



    Michael: I guess you didn’t see what happened at the hospital.



    Donna: After everything Bridget did before, I wonder if she really did attack Michele.



    Michael: And after that you don’t think it’s best for them to be separated? What are you on?



    Donna: They need to be a cohesive family unit, and they can’t be that when Jake and Bridget aren’t living there.



    Michael: It’s not our place to dictate our daughter’s marriage.



    Donna: You know how Victoria is. She just needs some...convincing. She loves Jake. She’s always loved Jake.



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



    BAY CITY CENTER



    Jake
    sits at a table and has a flashback.


    (Episode 180 at Kirkland and Charlie’s wedding)



    Jake: Vicky I’m not doing this here.



    Vicky: Doing what? I just asked you to dance.



    Jake: I still don’t trust you. I don’t know if I ever will.



    Vicky: You want to throw away everything we’ve meant to each other?



    Jake: You did that when you decided to keep the truth from me about Lindsay.



    Vicky: You’re never gonna forgive me for that are you?



    Then he has another flashback (Episode 184)



    Vicky: So you...you’re not gonna stay.



    Jake: You gave me an ultimatum before we went to the wedding, remember?



    Vicky: Yeah I know, and you’re deciding to not fight. We watched Kirkland begin his marriage today, and you’re ending ours.



    Jake flashes back to the present and rubs his right hand on his forehead as if to cope with the stress of the peril that his marriage to Vicky is in.



    Jake: What the hell am I gonna do?



    Then suddenly, Paulina
    touches Jake’s right shoulder.


    Paulina: How about talking to an old friend?



    Jake looks up and smiles.



    Jake: Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes right now?

    Part 2



    Michael and Donna are in the McKinnons living room talking to Vicky and Steven.



    Michael: Where’s Bridget?



    Vicky: She’s upstairs getting the rest of her things.



    Donna: Victoria, having Bridget to come live with us is not the answer.



    Vicky: It’s the only one I could come up with right now. I have a lot to figure out.



    Michael: This is when you need your family here.



    Vicky: We just got Michele back, and I am not going to lose her.



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



    Cory: What did you just say?



    Michele: I understand. I really do. You and Bridget thought I was dead. What were you gonna do? Not move on? That’s pretty unrealistic for me to expect.



    Cory: What did you feel when you saw us kissing at your brother’s wedding?



    Michele: Okay I’ll admit...I was pissed off at first.



    Cory: Pissed enough to do what you did to Bridget’s picture?



    Michele: Okay I was a little mad, but I’ve had to think about it, and I’ve accepted it. If you and Bridget wanna be together, then you should.



    Cory: Are you sure?



    Michele: I’m totally cool with it.



    Cory continues to look at her with doubt, but his skepticism begins to fade slowly.



    Michele: Really. I am. It looks like Bridget makes you happy, and that’s all I really want for you...and her.



    Cory: If you...say so.



    Michele: Why don’t you believe me?



    Cory: We all grew up together. You and I said we were gonna be together forever when we were in eighth grade.



    Michele: We had no idea what we were talking about. We were kids. Besides, things have a way of working themselves out. Maybe you were really meant to be with Bridget. Come here.



    Michele and Cory hug as Michele talks to Cory in his left ear.



    Michele: Everyone deserves happiness, and all of us should get what we deserve right.



    They end their embrace and they walk to the front door. Their embrace is interrupted by a text.



    Michele: Oh...I’m gonna leave. That’s my Aunt Marley.



    Cory: How is she?



    Michele: I’m about to find out.



    Cory: Hey Michele...thank you.



    Michele: Anytime Cory.



    Michele leaves and after Cory shuts the door…



    Michele: Oooh, Bridget is gonna get everything she deserves.



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



    BACK AT THE MCKINNONS…



    Steven: Is Michele okay?



    Vicky: She’s fine.



    Donna: She said Bridget attacked her at the hospital, and your mother’s overreacting.



    Vicky: Oh for God’s sake, I can’t believe that you can’t see what’s going on. Bridget is still jealous of Michele. Did you forget everything she did?



    Donna: Of course I didn’t, but I just have a hard time believing that Bridget would ever attack her own sister with a pair of scissors.



    Michael: Steven why don’t you help your old grandpa with Bridget’s luggage.



    Steven: Sure thing.



    As Steven and Michael take Bridget’s luggage out to the car, Donna turns to Vicky.



    Donna: Victoria is there anything I can do to change your mind?



    Vicky: Hmm let’s see...no.



    Donna: You’re making a mistake.



    Vicky: I have a lot going on Donna.



    Donna: And you shouldn’t be going through this alone. Where is Jake? He should be helping you through this.



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



    Paulina: Lot of police officers around and a podium. Looks like there’s gonna be a press conference. So what’s going on with you?



    Jake: What’s not going on?



    Paulina: It can’t be all bad right? I mean, Michele’s back home isn’t she?



    Jake: Yes and I’m very happy about that, but she’s not right.



    Paulina: What do you mean?



    Jake: She is out to get her own sister, and short of locking her in a room somewhere, I don’t feel there’s a lot I can do to stop her. I don’t know what she’s gonna do next. This is Vicky and Marley all over again.



    Paulina: Oh...you’re talking about when Marley locked Vicky in the basement of the Love Mansion. Do you think Michele had some psychotic break like Marley did then?



    Jake: Probably. It hurts like hell to see my daughter like that. Hurts even more to see all the animosity between my twins. Then my other daughter Lindsay might have...might have cancer.



    Paulina: My God Jake I’m so sorry. Is there anything I can do?



    Jake smiles.



    Jake: Unless you can fix my marriage, you’ve done more than enough.



    Paulina: You and Vicky? What’s going on?



    Jake: She knew the truth about Lindsay and kept it from me, and now this whole thing with the twins. I can’t trust her anymore.



    Paulina sighs almost in agreement.



    Paulina: Can’t have any kind of relationship without trust right?



    Jake: Right.



    Paulina then flashes a smile.



    Paulina: You’ve changed so much Jake. You’re a family man, and a husband.



    Jake: Given what we did in the past you’d never thought you’d see the day huh? We both had to do some maturing.



    Paulina: We did. You did. If you need anything, please let me know.



    Paulina puts her left hand on Jake’s right hand…

    AT THE HOSPITAL



    Gregory
    and Stacey hold vigil while Lindsay sleeps. They both are looking at her proudly.


    Gregory: She looks so beautiful when she sleeps.



    Stacey: Just like she’s always been since she was a baby. Boy she used to scream her little head off. She was a demanding little girl, and I had to curb some of that, but I loved giving her everything she ever needed. She’s gonna need you Gregory. She’s gonna need both of us to get her through this.



    Gregory: I will do whatever I can. Lindsay’s in good hands.



    Stacey: I wonder how she’s gonna deal with the fact she can’t have children.



    Gregory: I’m glad you talked her into having the surgery.



    Stacey: She would have been at a great risk for ovarian cancer. Those polyps could have killed her. Thank God I managed to convince her that she still has a lot of life left.



    Lindsay opens her eyes slowly.



    Lindsay: Mom.



    Stacey: Honey hi.



    Gregory: Hey babe. How you feelin’?



    Lindsay: Like I’ve been punched in the gut really hard.



    Stacey: That’s to be expected after the surgery.



    Lindsay: Thank you for staying.



    Gregory: Why wouldn’t we?



    Stacey: We love you.



    Lindsay: Where’s Jake?



    Stacey: He’s gonna be along shortly.

    BAY CITY CENTER



    Jake
    and Paulina are sitting at a table, and Paulina has placed her hand on Jake’s.


    Jake: Appreciate that.



    Paulina: We haven’t always had the most savory relationship you know.



    Jake: I wouldn’t call you shooting me a nurturing building block.



    Paulina: But you blackmailed me so you can get a cut of my inheritance.



    Jake: Oh come on. You’re still holding that against me?



    Paulina: All you could think about was Marley, and you ended up marrying her sister.



    Jake: And you married Joe Carlino, the anti me.



    They both laugh.



    Paulina: And because of Vicky you have two wonderful daughters.



    Jake: And you got a good son. Hey I saw you and Jack Snyder at Kirkland and Charlie’s wedding. How’s that going?



    Paulina: I...couldn’t really tell you. I don’t know. I haven’t gotten any phone calls or texts from him since that night.



    Jake: Have you called him?



    Paulina: Yes. I’m gonna go down to the station. Maybe it’s because Carly showed up.



    Jake: His wife?



    Paulina: Yeah, and suddenly I don’t hear anything from him.



    Jake: From what I hear they have a lot of history, and two daughters.



    Paulina: What was I thinking? Maybe I really have no chance. How can I compete with what he and Carly have?



    Jake: You really don’t have any control over how Jack feels about you.



    Paulina: I came on a little strong after the wedding.



    Jake: You? Naaaah.



    Paulina: We kissed.



    Jake: Wow that...that is strong. Come on Paulina he’s still married.



    Paulina: I know that, but I can’t stand to watch Carly keep jerking him around.



    Jake: Carly will only do what Jack allows.



    Paulina: Do you know how long it has taken me to move from Joe’s death?



    Jake: That’s understandable. He was your husband and you share a child.



    Paulina: I always felt like I would be betraying him if I fell in love with another man.



    Jake: Paulina no...please tell me you’re not in love with Jack.

    Jack

    Publicist: Maybe it’s good you didn’t win the mayoral election. We’ve gotta get you ready to answer some questions.



    Grant: Oh it’s nothing I probably haven’t heard before. Jobs, the economy, crime prevention.



    Publicist: Yes all those, and the religious freedom law.



    Grant: I’ve seen that all on the news. I’m ready for that, and all those questions.

    PART 2



    Paulina: You can’t help who you fall in love with.



    Jake: However true that is, you need to protect yourself against falling for Jack Snyder.



    Paulina: Is it because he’s married to Carly?



    Jake: You’re not only competing against Carly, but the history they have.



    Paulina: Jack and I have history, too, way before Carly ever entered the picture...way before I ever came to Bay City, and Carly doesn’t seem like she wants to work things out.



    Jake: And you’re gonna be there to pick up the pieces? You’re setting yourself up for a fall.



    Paulina: Like I did with you all those years ago?



    Jake: That was different.



    Paulina: You were in love with Marley, among other things.



    Jake: And you weren’t in love with Grant.



    Paulina: Jack is not going to hurt me like you and Grant did.



    Jake: Listen, just be careful okay. He’s going through a rough patch with his wife. Believe me, I know what those are.



    Paulina: I’m going to help him through that.



    Jake: I don’t think you’re considering the possibility that Jack could go back to Carly. You need to be ready for that.



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



    Toni: Another one.



    Jack: Yeah unfortunately.



    Toni: He gets his Senate seat back but he continues to get away with crimes.



    Jack: He is a slippery one.



    Toni: I’m gonna make sure everything is set up. I’ll be in my office.



    Jack sifts through papers on his desk and suddenly has a flashback…



    (EPISODE 183)



    Jack: You heard the lady.



    Grant: I was having a conversation with Paulina.



    Jack: She doesn’t need you in her life, neither does Dante.



    Grant: And that’s because you’re the alternative?



    Jack: I’m not gonna let you hurt her again.



    Grant: Just like you’re doing to your wife.



    Then he has another flashback when Carly approaches Jack at an Oakdale Hospital when Carly tells him that she is pregnant with their second child...and then he has another flashback.



    (EPISODE 185)



    Jack: Ladies! This isn’t getting us anywhere. Paulina let me talk to Carly alone please.



    Carly: Oh no need for that. I had to see for myself how close you two have gotten, and I’ve seen enough. When I get back to Oakdale, I’m gonna call Jessica Griffin and file for divorce. This marriage is over! Happy homewrecking Paulina. You can marry Jack since it looks like you caught the bouquet.



    Paulina: Bitch!



    Carly walks off. Jack calls for her and begins to go after her, but Paulina stops him.



    Paulina: Jack wait. Don’t go.



    Jack: I gotta talk to her.



    Paulina: She’s made up her mind. Don’t chase after someone who doesn’t want to be with you. Stay with someone who does. I love you Jack.



    Paulina pulls Jack into a passionate kiss.



    Jack flashes back to the present then makes a phone call.



    Jack: Paulina, can you come to the station? We have to talk.



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



    Grant and his publicist continue to commiserate in preparation for his press conference in Bay City Center. Grant has his back to the door as Kirkland
    walks in.


    Publicist: Well you know they’re gonna ask you about your views on this religious freedom law and how it might be used to discriminate against gays and lesbians.



    Grant: I will be sure to express my views about that.



    Kirkland: Dad.



    Grant and his publicist are startled a bit by Kirkland’s presence.



    Grant: Son. Hi.



    Kirkland: I’m anxious to know what those views are.



    Grant (signaling to his publicist): Umm can you give us some privacy please? Thanks.



    Kirkland watches the publicist leave and he turns to Grant.



    Kirkland: So?



    Grant: So what? You wanna know how I feel about the new laws being passed regarding religious freedom?



    Kirkland: Let me guess you’re all for it.



    Grant: I think your concern is bigger than that. You’re really wondering how I feel about how businesses in some states are going to use this law to discriminate.



    Kirkland: And you wonder why people won’t come out of the closet.



    Grant: Are we talking about other gays...or you?



    Kirkland: Of course I’m not talking about me, but this is another thing that’s gonna keep people closeted.



    Grant: Well...son...you’re right, I am for religious freedom. That’s one of the foundations that this country was built on.



    Kirkland: Like I thought.



    Grant: But I don’t support discrimination of any kind. I will not support any business in Bay City, or any city, that uses this religious freedom law as some type of permission to not serve gays and lesbians. Everyone is entitled to the same rights, no matter what their orientation is.



    Kirkland is stunned by Grant’s admission.



    Kirkland: You...surprise me sometimes.



    Grant: Kirkland, did you really think that I would support a law that encourages discrimination? I can’t believe you!



    Kirkland: I guess I...didn’t have enough faith in you.



    Grant: No you didn’t, and for the record, I still think you need to tell your wife about your past. I don’t support you keeping your secret from her.



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



    AT THE HOSPITAL...



    Charlie
    , Cass and Frankie walk into Lindsay’s room with flowers, where Stacey and Gregory hold vigil.


    Charlie: These are from Kirkland and me.



    Lindsay: Thank you. Where did he go?



    Charlie: He went to see his dad. I think Grant’s gonna have a press conference soon.



    Cass: We don’t need another one of those.



    Gregory: My mom witnessed a shooting.



    Stacey: Well, we’re gonna think happy things now. Positive things.



    Frankie: We’re all here for you Lindsay, whatever you need.



    Lindsay gives a tight smile.



    Lindsay: Yeah thanks.



    Cass: Well...uh we’re gonna head to the Corys.



    Stacey: Oh. Gonna go see Rachel?



    Frankie: No, Carl called and asked to meet with me. I’ll be honest I got a bit of a weird feeling about it.



    Cass, Frankie and Charlie walk over to Lindsay. Cass kisses her on her forehead, and Frankie and Charlie follow up with hugs.



    Cass: We’ll see ya kid.



    Charlie: Love you.



    As Cass, Frankie and Charlie leave, Jake walks in. They all greet each other.



    Jake: Hey. How’s my kid?



    Lindsay: I’m kinda tired.



    Jake: Yeah you just had surgery.



    Stacey: Get some rest honey. Jake can I talk to you for a minute outside?



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



    OUTSIDE OF LINDSAY’S ROOM



    Jake: How is she?



    Stacey: I’m...concerned about her.



    Jake: What did John say?



    Stacey: They had to do an emergency full hysterectomy.



    Jake: Well that’s good right? The polyps have no chance to turn malignant.



    Stacey: Right.



    Jake: So what’s the...my God...she can’t have kids. Marley went through the same thing twenty five years ago, but she got pregnant.



    Stacey: This is altogether different than Marley’s situation was, and she’s taking it harder than she’s shows. I’m worried about her Jake. This could send our daughter into depression, and she’s gonna need both of us, and...I’m gonna need you, too. I’m really really worried about her.



    Jake: I’m gonna be here for Lindsay...and for you.

    Part 1



    GRANT’S HOUSE



    Grant
    grins over what he finds on the jump drive that Christy gave him. Christy is there.


    Grant: You should call first.



    Christy: I still have a key.



    Grant: Don’t you have a hotel room downtown?



    Christy: You’re so mean. I came to get the rest of my things.



    Grant: What you gave me...is better than gold.



    Christy: I kept my word didn’t I?



    Grant: Yes you did. I’m impressed.



    Christy: No you’re not. You’re surprised.



    Grant: Okay you got me. I’m surprised.



    Christy: I told you I’d help you get Paulina. You’re at the lake Mister Ed, all you have to do now is take a sip.



    Grant: Oh, I’m going to drink gallons of that water. Jack’s gonna be the one getting all wet.



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



    PAULINA’S HOUSE



    Paulina
    and Jack are at the front door, gazing at each other, hand in hand.


    Jack: Are you...sure about this? This is where you and your husband...lived.



    Paulina: Jack...shut up, take me inside, and make love to me.



    They both smile at each other and kiss.



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



    CORY MANSION



    Cass
    , Frankie, Charlie, Rachel, and Matt are in the living room.


    Charlie: You went through a horrible ordeal mom.



    Frankie: But I’m here, and I’m not going anywhere.



    Charlie: We went through all the reasons why you stayed away.



    Cass: Yes we did, and we’re still together.



    Matt: Everything worked out as well as we could have hoped.



    Rachel: I’m gonna go...check on my husband.



    Charlie: And...I’m gonna head to the hospital.



    Frankie: Honey? You’re okay with...why I stayed away.



    Charlie: Mom...



    Frankie: I was protecting you and your father, and you were happy with Lila. She...provided a stable home for you. I didn’t want to rock that boat.



    Charlie: Mom! You don’t have to explain. I’m fine with it.



    Charlie and Frankie hug.



    Frankie: I love you sweetheart.



    Charlie: I love you, too.



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



    CORY MANSION



    Outside the living room double doors, Carl
    looks at the alert on his cell phone which reads: TRANSFER COMPLETE. Then he makes a phone call.


    Carl: It’s me. It’s finally over. It’s safe now.



    Carl turns around and sees Rachel.



    Rachel: Who was that? Who were you talking to?



    CAMERA PAN ON CARL...SLOW FADE TO THEME SONG.







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



    PART 2



    AT THE CENTER



    Christy enters and sees Eric
    (whose back is turned to Christy) looking at a taped version of Grant’s press conference on television.


    Grant (on TV): I am in full support of equality, and



    l condemn any business in Bay City that uses religious freedom to discriminate against gays and lesbians.



    Christy notices Eric’s intent look at Grant’s statement, then approaches her son.



    Christy: Hi honey.



    Eric (a bit startled): Mom.



    Christy: You don’t have your smock on.



    Eric: I’m getting off in a few minutes.



    Christy: Oh. Why don’t we umm...go do something.



    Eric goes a table and wipes it down.



    Eric: What are we gonna do mom? Go shopping?



    Christy: Don’t be like that. I just want to spend time with my son. Is that so wrong?



    Eric: It’s wrong what you did to Kirkland and Charlie.



    Charlie walks in and sees Eric and Christy.



    Christy: I thought we were past this.



    Eric: Everybody looks at me like I got some kind of disease. Allen Love told his daughter to stay away from me because of what you decided we should do.



    Christy: Honey I didn’t mean for any of that to happen. I just…



    Eric: Wanted to push your own agenda. Whatever it is you’re trying to do, I don’t want any part of it.



    Felicia
    comes in and joins Charlie.


    Felicia: Charlie honey. I saw you through the door. How’s everything?



    Charlie: Whatcha doin’ down here?



    Felicia: I’m meeting my agent in a few.



    Charlie: I was gonna get a latte and head to the hospital.



    Felicia: Cass told me about Lindsay. I hope everything’s okay.



    Charlie: Lindsay’s gonna live, but I wonder how she’s gonna deal with not being able to have children.



    Felicia notices Christy and Eric.



    Felicia: Some women don’t deserve to have children. The universe can be so unfair.



    Meanwhile, Eric and Christy continue.



    Christy: I don’t know what else you want me to do.



    Eric: I want you to leave. I gotta go punch out.



    Eric walks past the counter to the back.



    Christy: Eric we’re not finished. I am your mother and I love you. Don’t forget that.



    Christy walks away, sees Felicia, and rolls her eyes. Felicia stops Christy.



    Charlie: I’m gonna...get my lattes.



    Felicia: Your shenanigans have alienated your own son. You should do us all a favor and leave Bay City.



    Christy: You know what Felicia you’re becoming a reeeeeal problem.



    Felicia: Is that a veiled threat? I’m not afraid of you Christy. As long as I draw breath, I’m not gonna let you hurt anyone I care about.



    Christy: Are you talking about Cass and Mary Frances?



    Felicia: If you come after them, or anyone else I love, you will answer to me.



    Felicia leaves...and Christy watches.



    Christy: Time to get Felicia out of the way.



    Christy then leaves. Meanwhile, Charlie grabs her latte and notices Eric, who is bothered by the confrontation he just had with Christy. Eric turns around, and sees Charlie looking at him. Charlie leaves quickly.



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



    AT PAULINA’S HOUSE



    Jack and Paulina lie on the couch, underneath a blanket, with no clothes on, after having made love.



    Paulina: Couldn’t you have waited a few more minutes to get me upstairs?



    Jack: I couldn’t wait any longer.



    Paulina: Well I could’ve looked at it one of two ways.



    Jack: And what’s that?



    Paulina: It’s been...a lonnnng time for me.



    Jack: Not quite as long for me, but it’s been long enough.



    Paulina: And I loved it.



    Jack: What part? The boat size, or the motion?



    Paulina (laughing): Definitely that, and the spontaneity of it all. Who needs a bed for round two?



    Jack: Round two?



    Paulina: Yeah.



    Meanwhile, Grant approaches Paulina’s door, flashes back to what he saw on the jump drive, and smiles.



    Grant: Beginning of the end.



    Grant’s elation turns to horror when he looks inside and sees Jack and Paulina making love.



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



    Rachel: Carl I asked you a question.



    Carl: Darling you worry too much.



    Rachel: We’ve been through this a hundred times before. I know when you’re up to something.



    Carl: I was calling Elizabeth. Checking on her.



    Rachel: Calling our daughter? She’s a texter.



    Carl: Elizabeth and I have a special kind of relationship.



    Rachel: Don’t I know it.



    Carl: Well I’m gonna head upstairs.



    Rachel: I’m gonna see Cass and Frankie.



    Carl: What about Charlie?



    Rachel: She went to the hospital to see her cousin.



    Carl: Well I’m gonna go upstairs.



    Carl pecks Rachel on her forehead and leaves.



    Rachel: Something’s definitely wrong.



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



    UPSTAIRS...Carl goes into his and Rachel’s bedroom, opens his laptop, and looks at a confirmation of his “transfer complete” transaction. He suddenly gets a sharp headache. He goes to the drawer, grabs and his pain medication, shakes out three pills, and swallows them.

    Iris makes another move



    Written By: C. Nathaniel Richardson



    Consultants: aMLCproduction, beebs, DRW50




    PART 1



    BAY CITY CENTER



    Felicia
    and her agent, Mason, sit at a table across from each other. Mason and Felicia both have laptops.


    Mason: I sent you the email from KBAY’s executive team.



    Felicia: Iris.



    Mason: Well did you see it?



    Felicia: Is it about the movie deal? I’m not taking it.



    Mason: Let’s see, how can I put this? You’d be stupid not to take it.



    Felicia: Iris is only out to hurt Cory Productions and I’m not going to participate in that.



    Mason: This isn’t about personal relationships Felicia.



    Felicia: Of course it is. Rachel is my friend. I would never hurt her or her children.



    Mason: KBAY is offering three times as much as Cory to produce your movies.



    Felicia: I’m not doing it.



    Mason: It’s a very lucrative offer.



    Felicia: Why would Iris overpay to produce these films?



    Mason: Who cares about the reasons why she’s doing it?



    Felicia: I do.



    Mason: Apparently you didn’t read the rest of the offer.



    Felicia: I did. The marketing part is something that Cory Productions is not offering.



    Mason: Bingo. KBAY is planning an aggressive, worldwide marketing campaign. Think of all the exposure you’re going to get.



    Felicia: And they only want ten percent of whatever monies that the movies bring in.



    Mason: Cory Productions isn’t offering that are they?



    Felicia: I’m going to go meet with them after this.



    Mason: If they can’t meet or exceed KBAY’s offer, then I would encourage you to strongly consider this. This deal could lead to other deals, with larger companies, which means...



    Felicia: I know I know.



    Mason: See, I knew you were a businesswoman. So you’ll consider KBAY’s offer?



    Felicia: I will call you later.



    Felicia leaves, and then Iris
    walks up to Mason as they both watch Felicia walk away.


    Iris: What did she say?



    Mason: She’s gonna consider it.



    Iris: I need her name on the dotted line.



    Mason: You offered her quite a bit. I can’t believe you’re going to front all worldwide marketing costs. I mean only ten percent of movie profits. What if you have losses?



    Iris: When you have Spaulding money, there is no such thing as losses.



    Mason: What is it that you want anyway? Why are you pushing so hard to get Felicia to do this deal?



    Iris: What I want isn’t any of your concern. You just get Felicia to sign the movie rights to KBAY, and everything else will take care of itself.



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



    MEANWHILE….



    Cory
    sits at a table and Bridget meets him.


    Cory: Hey there.



    Cory kisses her and Bridget sits down across from him.



    Bridget: What’s up?



    Cory: Just wanted to see you before we went to the movies.



    Bridget: And do that thing that people do in the back?



    Cory smiles.



    Cory: Hmmm.



    Bridget: What time does it start?



    Cory: About an hour.



    Bridget: Well this’ll be a good getaway.



    Cory: Let me guess...your mom.



    Bridget: She kicked me out again. I’m back living with my grandparents.



    Cory: The cycle never ends.



    Bridget: My mom is crazy. She’s breaking up with dad because of what she did. How stupid is that?



    Cory: Wow. Both your sisters are right in the middle of that.



    Bridget: Lindsay and Michele.



    Cory: Michele came to my house earlier.



    Bridget: I figured that’s where she went.



    Cory: She said she was cool with us.



    Bridget: Us meaning you and me...a couple? Really?



    Cory: Yeah. I was just as surprised as you are.



    Bridget: There’s only one problem. I don’t believe it for one second.



    Cory: What do you mean?



    Bridget: Clearly she hasn’t been herself since she came back. She’s got it in for me.



    Cory: Do you think she’d hurt you in some way?



    Bridget: I don’t know. She cut herself on her arm with scissors at the hospital and blamed it on me.



    Cory: When? I didn’t see any cuts on her...she was wearing a long sleeved shirt.



    Bridget: She’s trying to turn everyone against me, and I’m not gonna let her get away with it.



    Cory: She went to see Marley.



    Bridget: She’s probably going to get a little history lesson. Wonder if it’ll do any good.



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



    AT THE MONTGOMERYS



    Donna
    walks in, sticks her key in her purse, and doesn’t close the door all the way. Marley lies on the couch on her back.


    Donna: Oh my you look like you’re about to pop. My grandson is ready to enter the world.



    Marley: I’m ready for him.



    Donna: Where’s Tyrone?



    Tyrone
    walks into the living room.


    Donna: Hey there. I see you’re taking good care of my daughter.



    Tyrone: Of course.



    Marley: I feel like I’ve been pregnant forever. One of those twenty four month elephant pregnancies.



    Donna: As long as you’re doing what the doctor says you should be fine.



    Marley: You know I’m glad you came over.



    Donna: I’m always up for a visit with any of my girls.



    Marley: This one in particular. I need your assistance. Both of you.



    Someone opens the front door, and it’s Michele
    with her sleeves rolled up.

    PART 2



    CORY PRODUCTIONS.



    Amanda
    , Matt and Felicia are in Amanda’s office. Felicia has shown them KBAY’s offer.


    Amanda: Iris is turning up the heat isn’t she?



    Matt: I’m...I’m shocked.



    Amanda: It appears that she’s not even looking to recover any of the marketing costs.



    Matt: And we really can’t afford to do that.



    Felicia: Is there something you can do? Maybe do some maneuvering of the numbers?



    Amanda: Felicia we can lower our request for the profit percentage to twenty.



    Felicia: KBAY only wants ten percent.



    Amanda: And of course we’re gonna market on social media. It doesn’t cost much to do that.



    Felicia: What about the billboards, television stations, and digital radio stations that KBAY promises to do?



    Matt: We can get some more research done and find out when the top viewing times are.



    Amanda: And strategically purchase some prime time spots for the television side overseas.



    Felicia: What about the United States?



    Matt: Felicia please work with us. You know we’re a bit cash strapped.



    Felicia gets up and sighs.



    Amanda: Please. Your movie deal will bring in lots of revenue for us, and you.



    Felicia: I love you all, and Rachel dearly, but I have to make a business decision.



    Matt: You’re gonna...go with KBAY’s offer?



    Felicia: I’m sorry Matthew.



    Felicia leaves the office and Amanda turns to Matt.



    Matt: There’s got to be something we can do.



    Amanda: Iris has pulled out all the stops to get her to do this movie deal, and she knows that we need the revenue. Guess there’s only one thing left to do.



    Matt: No...no we’re not selling.



    Amanda: That’s not what I had in mind little brother.



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



    IRIS’S SUITE



    Iris is on her cell phone with a mystery person.



    Iris: You’re coming to Bay City soon? Wow. We’re gonna have to keep things very discreet. I am very close to getting Felicia to sign her movie rights to KBAY.



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



    OUTSIDE AMANDA’S OFFICE



    Felicia is on her cell phone with her agent Mason. She takes a deep breath, a bit conflicted over not choosing Cory Productions.



    Felicia: I’ve...decided to take KBAY’s offer.



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



    ROOM



    Joy
    makes a phone call.


    Joy: I’m giving you an update. She looks like she’s gonna have the baby any day now and I’ll know exactly when it happens. Someone almost caught me planting that camera. Please, don’t hurt Thomasina. I will do what you ask.



    Joy hangs up, opens her laptop, and sees



    Donna, Tyrone, Marley and Michele.



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



    Donna, Tyrone, Marley and Michele are unaware of a camera outside the front window that Joy is watching them on.



    Michele: What is this? I’m leaving.



    Donna gets up and touches Michele’s left shoulder.



    Donna: I didn’t know you were coming.



    Michele: But you knew Aunt Marley called me.



    Marley: I promise you I...didn’t tell Donna you were coming.



    Donna: Look I’ll...I’ll go in the kitchen, not that I know my way around a kitchen.



    Marley: Thanks. Tyrone?



    Michele: No…Tyrone can stay.



    Donna leaves the living room and Michele sits across from Marley and Tyrone.



    Michele: They told you didn’t they?



    Marley: Told me what?



    Michele: What I did to the living room at home.



    Tyrone: What happened?



    Michele: Oh come on, don’t act like you don’t know.



    Marley: I...I talked to Victoria. She ransacked the living room at the McKinnons, and threw Bridget’s picture frame.



    Tyrone looks at Michele as if he’s reliving the past.



    Tyrone: It’s happening again. It’s you and Vicky all over again baby.



    Marley: Even without you doing that, I wanted to talk to you.



    Michele: About Bridget?



    Marley: No. About you. I’ve been where you are.



    Michele: I don’t know why everyone is so worried. I’m fine.



    Tyrone: Marley was saying those same things. She came back to Bay City and was very angry with Vicky.



    Michele: I heard the stories Tyrone.



    Marley: And we don’t want you to go through the same thing. I regret what I did to your mother. I was fortunate that she and Jake forgave me, and that Tyrone stood by me when everyone was against me.



    Tyrone: Marley got the help she needed and she’s better now.



    Michele: Oh my God! Did grandma Donna put you up to this?



    Marley: No honey. I just know what it’s like to be angry at your sister, and to want to hurt her like she hurt you. I understand the root of your anger, but please...don’t do what I did. I hurt a lot of people.



    Tyrone: Marley’s right. Maybe you can talk to your brother about it.



    Marley: Or at the very least he can recommend someone.



    Michele: You all act like I’m crazy.



    Marley: That’s what Etta Mae called me after I locked Vicky in the Love Mansion basement. Tyrone: Vicky almost died.



    Marley: Please Michele...if you’re angry at Bridget…



    Michele: I’m not angry at Bridget! Why does everyone think that I’m angry at my own sister?



    Marley: Through everything I was doing to your mother, deep down I loved her, and I know you love your sister.



    Michele: I am not going to hurt Bridget.



    Marley: Wait, what’s that cut on your arm?



    Michele: Oh I...I was trying to cut a thread off my shirt and I cut myself instead.



    Tyrone: I don’t want Marley worrying about you.



    Michele gets up and rubs her aunt’s thigh, and softens her tone.



    Michele: And she doesn’t have to. Aunt Marley I promise you. I’m not going to do anything to Bridget.



    Marley: I don’t want you to end up like I did. What I did to your mother was a big mistake. I just don’t want you to do the same thing.



    Michele: And I’m not. You just worry about little Roman okay. I gotta go.



    Marley: I love you. I love all of you. We need to be a tight family.



    Michele: I love you, too.



    Michele leaves, and Donna walks back into the living room. Tyrone gets up and takes Donna into a private corner.



    Tyrone: Is there anything you can do? It’s not good for Marley to worry about her nieces.



    Donna: I know, and we can’t let her know what’s going on.



    Tyrone: Well I’m glad that Michele promised her that she wouldn’t hurt Bridget.



    Donna: I heard it through the door.



    Tyrone: You were eavesdropping?



    Donna: Michele's lying. I'm wondering when the other shoe is gonna drop.



    Tyrone: Are you serious?



    Donna: I’m not a doctor, but Michele’s behavior; her state of mind; it reminds me so much of Marley after the fire. I’m afraid of what she’s gonna do.



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



    Outside, Michele keeps thinking about Marley saying that she knows that Michele loves her sister, and it echoes in her mind. She covers her ears and grunts her teeth, as if to not hear Marley saying it over and over again.

    CORY MANSION



    Someone rings the doorbell and Cory
    walks to the door.


    Cory: Gosh why couldn’t my parents hire a maid?



    He is surprised to see Elizbaeth at the door.



    Cory: Lizzie?



    Elizabeth walks in with a bag.



    Cory: Don’t you have a key?



    Elizabeth: Well hello to you, too brother.



    Cory: You didn’t tell anybody you were coming home?



    Elizabeth: Dad called and asked me to. He’s throwing a dinner party.



    Cory: Really? He didn’t tell me about that. What’s his deal anyway?



    Elizabeth: What do you mean?



    Cory: Mom’s been worried about dad.



    Elizabeth: Where is mom anyway?

    ROOM



    Suddenly, Rachel
    appears and walks in.


    Rachel: Russ? Carl? What wishes are you two talking about?



    The two men stay silent.



    Rachel: Russ it’s been years since I’ve seen you.



    Russ: You’re still as beautiful as ever Rachel.



    Rachel: Why is my husband hooked up to these tubes?



    Russ: Maybe I...should leave you two alone. Carl, it’s time.



    Rachel: Time for what?



    Russ
    walks out and shuts the door.


    Carl: Darling.



    Rachel: It’s back isn’t it? The tumor’s back.



    Carl: Rachel…



    Rachel: When we were on our way to Kirkland and Charlie’s wedding reception, you mentioned that...we took care of Perry. Perry’s been dead for almost thirty years, but the problem is that we never raised Perry. You also left your laptop open, too. I saw something about a transfer, and then an empty bottle of pills. It all made sense to me.



    There’s an awkward silence, then Rachel kneels by Carl’s beside and pleads with him.



    Rachel: Carl please...please tell me what’s going on? Tell me that I’m wrong about what I’m thinking.



    Carl: About the tumor returning? No darling, unfortunately you’re correct. It’s back.

    PART 2



    Rachel gets up, turns toward the door, and momentarily covers her face with her hands, almost as if she’s lost her cool for a moment, but then re-gathers herself.



    Rachel: Not again.



    Carl: Yes Rachel. I have been diagnosed with glioblastoma.



    Rachel takes a deep breath.



    Rachel: That’s a very aggressive brain tumor.



    Carl: And it’s inoperable.



    Rachel: What about a second opinion? Russ should have encouraged you to get one.



    Carl: I saw the films. It’s there, and it’s growing more and more.



    Rachel: There’s gotta some type of treatment we can try. Maybe we can to Europe.



    Carl: Don’t you think I’ve tried that already? In St. Croix, where Evan, my son, was keeping me alive.



    Rachel: We thought you were dead. Your son robbed us. He robbed Cory and Elizabeth.



    Carl: He brought me back to you and our children.



    Rachel: So are you telling me it just came back out of nowhere?



    Carl: The doctors in St. Croix managed to shrink it, but it never truly went away.



    Rachel: Was it the...neurotoxin that Janice gave you? Was that the cause of it growing again?



    Carl: No that had nothing to do with it.



    Rachel: Carl you’re accepting this. You’re accepting imminent death. Well I’m not going to.



    Carl: We don’t have a choice. That’s why I’ve been...making things right...for all the terrible things that I’ve done.



    Rachel: Making things right? Does this have something to do with the transfer?

    PART 3



    Cass
    puts wood in the fireplace and joins Frankie on the couch. Frankie then snuggles in Cass’s arms, and they both look at the fire.


    Cass: Who thought we would need firewood this time of year?



    Frankie: The universe is definitely acting strangely.



    Cass: Is that what it told you?



    Frankie: Caaaass…



    Cass: Okay okay I promise not to make fun of your sixth sense.



    Frankie: Wouldn’t you agree with me though?



    Cass: Things have been a bit off. Lindsay’s situation.



    Frankie: And Carl. There’s something...weird about it.



    Cass: How so?



    Frankie: The way he was talking to us. It was like...he was saying that time is running out for him or something.



    Cass: Yeah I...caught that, too.



    Frankie: You know in a weird way Carl brought us together. I mean I...don’t condone anything he did to Kathleen, but you and I probably never would have met and fell in love.



    Cass: And had Charlie…



    Frankie: We have him to thank for the life we’ve got. Who’da thought he’d turn out to be my father.



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



    Carl: The transfer?



    Rachel: I saw it on your laptop. What was it about?



    Carl: I paid them off. Their final payment.



    Rachel: Paid off who? I don’t understand.



    Carl: Remember in 1996, when I went to Chicago?



    Rachel: Yes.



    Carl: Well I never went to Chicago. I went to Washington, D.C.



    Rachel: Why?



    Carl: I turned over evidence to the feds of the impropriety at Charter Elm. Mostly caused by Lucas when he was working for me. He made a lot of enemies. The evidence did not convict everyone. The ones that were left were threatening…



    Rachel: Oh my God, they were threatening Cory and Elizabeth? Were they in any danger?



    Carl: No. They were threatening Lucas’s grandson.



    Rachel: Grandson? Did Jenna have a child?



    Carl: No, but Lorna did.



    Rachel: Lorna? Felicia never mentioned a grandchild.



    Carl: Because she doesn’t know.



    Rachel: Carl you’re not making any sense right now. Why does this concern you? Why were you paying Lucas’s enemies off? Wait a minute. Is that who you were talking on the phone to yesterday?



    Carl: I told Lorna it was safe now. As soon as he entered the world, he was in danger. I had to protect him. I had to protect my son.



    Rachel: Your son? Oh my God. You and Lorna had a son?



    Carl: Devin Lucas Hutchins. I had Lorna put him into hiding before she came to Bay City the first time.



    Rachel: After all these years, you couldn’t trust me enough to tell me about him.



    Carl: It wasn’t a matter of trust my dear. If I told you, you would’ve been in danger. Of course I couldn’t do that to you, your children, or ours.



    Rachel sighs.



    Rachel: Is there anything else you want to tell me?



    Carl: I’m having a dinner party. That’s when I’m gonna to announce to all of our family and friends. I was going to tell you first.



    Rachel: People are gonna be devastated. Paulina, Vicky, Donna. You’ve had a positive impact on their lives.



    Rachel: I can’t believe this is happening again. We’re going to lose you all over again.



    Rachel sits on the bed next to Carl.



    Carl: You will have all of your family and friends to support you. Russ will be there, too.



    Rachel: After everything we went through to be together; after all the opposition.



    Carl: The pursuit.



    Rachel (chuckling): Yes...New York.



    Carl: I came after you…



    Rachel: Relentlessly.



    Carl: I had to be with you. You made me a better person. After everything I had done to you and Mackenzie, I’m still amazed that you fell in love with me.



    Rachel: That’s why Amanda was so against our marriage.



    Carl: I understood it.



    Rachel: Iris tried to kill you.



    Carl: But she failed to separate us.



    Rachel: But your brain tumor will...this time.



    Carl puts his hand on Rachel’s chest.



    Carl: Not even death will separate us. Our love will be there.



    Rachel: In my heart.



    Rachel leans on Carl’s lap.



    Carl: Our love will never die.

    ANOTHER WORLD 202



    Kirkland confronts Christy



    PART 1



    Lindsay Hartley’s first episode as Maggie Winthrop.



    BAY CITY GENERAL



    John Hudson is in his office on his computer, and he’s video chatting/interviewing with a candidate...Maggie Winthrop.



    John: You’ve come a long way. I have to say, it will be strange calling you Dr. Maggie Winthrop.



    Maggie: It’s strange myself. I didn’t know I had it in me. After things with Rafael and I didn’t work out, I decided to go to school. This has been so fulfilling.



    John: I read your resume. Johns Hopkins huh?



    Maggie: Yep. I made it through.



    John: What made you change your name?



    Maggie: Cecile.



    John: I’ve heard the stories.



    Maggie: Yeah either I’m Sandy Cory or Cass Winthrop. It usually depends on how she’s feeling and what she’s after.



    John: And what day of the week it is.



    They both laugh.



    John: I don’t see a reason why we can’t have you on board. As far as I’m concerned you’re hired.



    Maggie: Means a lot coming from the Chief of Staff.



    John: Acting Chief of Staff.



    Maggie: Oh.



    John: I had to apply for the position just like anybody else. Well I will email you the paperwork and just email it back and I’ll forward it to H.R. Welcome aboard.



    Maggie: Great thank you. I will need a couple of weeks to get my things to Bay City.



    John: Fair enough. I’ll be sure to let H.R. know that.



    Maggie: Thanks Dr. Hudson.



    John: You’re very welcome Dr. Winthrop.



    John ends the video chat and Sharlene gently. Her knock opens the door and she peeks in.



    Sharlene: Oh I’m sorry if I’m interrupting.



    John: No...no you’re never an interruption. I’m happy to see you, but I am surprised.



    Sharlene: Did you talk to Gregory? He left the house kind of quick earlier.



    John: No, but it’s a safe bet that he went to see Lindsay.



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



    STACEY’S APARTMENT



    Stacey, fully dressed, walks into the living room, and sees Lindsay curled up wearing her pink pajamas and a pillow watching television.



    Stacey: I’m headed to the office for a short while. I was wondering if you wanted to...meet me afterwards.



    Lindsay doesn’t flinch, and continues to stare at the television.



    Lindsay: No.



    Stacey: We could get those frozen yogurt pops that you like.



    Lindsay: No thanks mom. I’m just gonna stay here.



    Stacey: We could have mother daughter time like we used to.



    Lindsay: I really don’t feel like it.



    Stacey: Ok umm...if you need me I’ll be at the office.



    Lindsay: I know the number.



    Stacey: I love you honey.



    Stacey kisses her daughter on the forehead and straddles her hair. She sighs with worry and walks out the door. Gregory walks up to her outside the apartment.



    Stacey: Gregory I...didn’t know you were coming.



    Gregory: Hey uh...how’s Lindsay?



    Stacey purses her lips.



    Stacey: Not unexpected. Go in and see.



    Stacey opens the door and Gregory sees Lindsay staring at the TV, curled up in her pink pajamas with her pillow.



    Gregory: Hey.



    Lindsay looks at Gregory.



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



    CHRISTY’S SUITE



    Christy returns and shuts the door, then she has a flashback...



    (EPISODE 197)



    Christy: I thought we were past this.



    Eric: Everybody looks at me like I got some kind of disease. Allen Love told his daughter to stay away from me because of what you decided we should do.



    Christy: Honey I didn’t mean for any of that to happen. I just…



    Eric: Wanted to push your own agenda. Whatever it is you’re trying to do, I don’t want any part of it.



    She sighs in a bit of sadness, then she has another flashback...



    Felicia: Your shenanigans have alienated your own son. You should do us all a favor and leave Bay City.



    Christy: You know what Felicia you’re becoming a reeeeeal problem.



    Felicia: Is that a veiled threat? I’m not afraid of you Christy. As long as I draw breath, I’m not gonna let you hurt anyone I care about.



    Christy: Are you talking about Cass and Mary Frances?



    Felicia: If you come after them, or anyone else I love, you will answer to me.



    Felicia leaves...and Christy watches.



    Christy: Time to get Felicia out of the way.



    She flashes back to the present, puts her key on the dresser, and sits at her desk. Someone rings the doorbell. After she opens the door, Grant barges in.



    Christy: To what do I owe this visit?



    Grant: You owe me a lot more than that. I gotta talk to you.



    Christy sighs in slight exasperation.



    Christy: You’ve gotta talk to me. Let me guess...it’s about Paulina.



    Grant: You won’t believe what I saw.



    Christy: And what exactly did you see?



    Grant: I went to her house with the jump drive.



    Christy: You showed her what was on it?



    Grant: I didn’t get a chance to.



    Christy: Why not?



    Grant: Because I saw her with Jack Snyder, and they weren’t playing solitaire.



    Christy: Aww little miss muffet was making love to the detective?



    Grant: This isn’t funny.



    Christy: You act like you’ve lost.



    Grant: I probably have.



    Christy: You have enough evidence on that jump drive to break them up for good.



    Grant: Oh believe me, I’m going to use it.



    Grant suddenly gets a text on his cell phone, and subsequently.



    Grant: A party? At the Corys?



    Christy: You’re invited to a party at the Corys? The universe must be spinning off of its axis.



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



    MEANWHILE, at Kirkland’s suite, Kirkland looks at his phone, then Charlie looks at hers.



    Kirkland: That’s weird. We got a text at the same time.



    Charlie: It’s an invite to the Corys.



    Kirkland: That’s what I got. Wonder what the occasion is.



    Charlie: I guess we won’t know until we get there. Hey do you wanna meet up later?



    Kirkland: I’m gonna stop at my dad’s for a quick second.



    Charlie: Oh okay...well I’m gonna head out.



    She kisses Kirkland on his lips.



    Charlie: See ya later.



    After Charlie leaves. Kirkland has a flashback…



    (EPISODE 190)



    Kirkland: Dad what is she doing here?



    Grant: Can’t I be charitable?



    Kirkland: Charity? So you just gave this woman, who tormented Charlie’s parents, a place to live?



    Grant: Are you saying that I am not giving? I’ll have you know that I give to a lot of organizations.



    Kirkland: Yeah, especially to the ones that you can get a big tax write off for.



    Grant: Did you learn comedy on your honeymoon?



    Kirkland: Dad you never answered my question? What is Christy Carson doing here? I noticed you two made eye contact when she showed up uninvited at Tops.



    Grant: Son I can’t get into that right now.



    Kirkland: Come on dad. Are we gonna go down this road again? I read that her parole was denied. After that she gets out, and now she’s living here. What’s going on?



    Grant: She’s....helping me to get Paulina back.



    Kirkland: Are you on that again? Why would Christy help you to do that?



    Kirkland flashes back to the present.



    Kirkland: I’m gonna find out why.



    CAMERA PAN ON KIRKLAND...SLOW FADE TO THEME SONG







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



    PART 2



    Grant: You won’t be joking so much when I have Paulina.



    Christy: Ha!



    Grant: And how’s your quest for Cass going?



    Christy: Who says I’m trying to get Cass?



    Grant: Christy come on. This is me you’re talking to. The only reason you stayed in Bay City is to get Cass...or get something from Cass.



    Christy: Wow it’s amazing how often you’re wrong. Maybe you should use one of your lifelines to get the correct answer.



    Grant: You stayed in Bay City because you want something from Cass. Hmmm I wonder what that is.



    Christy: You stick to your plan, and I’ll stick to mine okay.



    Grant: It’s got something to do with where you went right after I got the governor to pardon you.



    Christy: Don’t you have some place else to be? Like getting Miss Muffet in your arms?



    Grant: Oooh I’m getting warm aren’t I? Just where did you go Mrs. Carson?



    Christy gets a reminder on her phone...and it has a date highlighted.



    Christy: Wouldn’t you like to know?



    Grant: You know my secrets.



    Christy: No I don’t.



    Grant: You think I’m going to blackmail you don’t you?



    Christy: Grant I’m not afraid of your blackmail. My poker game is flawless, and I will play my trump card if I have to. Don’t take me there Harrison.



    Grant: Well I need to go.



    Christy: Thank God, although I can imagine what you’re going to do.



    Grant: Work, that’s what I have to do.



    Christy purses her lips as if she doesn’t believe him as Grant leaves. Christy doesn’t shut the door, and makes a phone call.



    Christy: Did you find her? The day is getting close...and I’m gonna get what I want.



    Christy turns around and there is Kirkland...standing at the door.



    Christy: Kirkland...what are you doing here?



    Kirkland: I’m gonna get to the point. What’s going on between you and my dad?



    Christy: And that’s your point?



    Kirkland: Something’s not right. Why did my dad call in a favor to pardon you?



    Christy: Didn’t you ask me this before?



    Kirkland: You and your son showed up uninvited to my wedding reception after my dad helped you get out of prison.



    Christy: And I apologized for that. What do you want me to do? Write it in blood?



    Kirkland: It still wouldn’t be sincere.



    Christy: Listen. It was in poor taste what I did, and again, I am sorry. I’m not sure what you want me to tell you.



    Kirkland: My dad is paying for this suite isn’t he? You can’t afford this.



    Christy: Now you know how much money I have?



    Kirkland: Is my dad helping you to get back and Cass and Frankie? I’m not gonna let you do anything to hurt Charlie’s parents.



    Christy: Ohhh aren’t you the dutiful son-in-law. I have no intention of hurting Cass or Mary-Frances.



    Kirkland: You’re up to something, and I’m gonna find out what it is.



    Kirkland leaves.



    Christy: Time to play my trump card...Kirkland.



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



    Sharlene: I really feel for her.



    John: Yeah she’s so young, and she can’t have children, but we saved her life.



    Sharlene: That’s the most important thing.



    There’s a silence and Sharlene interjects…



    Sharlene: I got a text from Carl.



    John: About a party at the Corys. I did, too. Come on Sharlene, something tells me that you didn’t come all the way up here to ask me about Gregory or talk about a text message.



    Sharlene: You’re right. I was hoping we could talk. John: Is everything okay?



    Sharlene: Well that depends on you.



    John: Me?



    Sharlene: I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, and I...I wanna try.



    John: Try what?



    Sharlene: Working things out.



    John smiles, gets up from his chair, and approaches his wife.



    John: Do you know how long I’ve waited to hear those words? I’d absolutely love to.



    They embrace warmly.



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



    Gregory and Lindsay are awkwardly silent, as Gregory really doesn’t know what to say.



    Gregory: Um...can I getcha anything?



    Lindsay: What are you gonna get me?



    Gregory: I dunno. Are ya hungry? Or just some company?



    Lindsay: How about a uterus? Can you get me that? Because I don’t have one, and I can’t have children. So excuse me if I’m a little pissed about that.



    Gregory: I understand…



    Lindsay: Oh so you’ve had your uterus removed!



    Gregory: They had to save your life.



    Lindsay: I can’t have children Gregory! Do you wanna be with a woman who can’t have your children? Is that what you really want?



    Gregory: I love you for you, not for what you can give me. I don’t care about that.



    Lindsay: You say that now.



    Gregory: Lindsay don’t do this. Let me be here for you.



    Gregory goes to touch Lindsay, but she turns away from him.



    Lindsay: Can you leave please?



    Gregory: Lindsay---



    Lindsay: I’ll...I’ll call you. I just need to...be alone right now.



    Lindsay tries to hold it together as Gregory goes to the door. After he leaves, she leans her back against the door and slinks down to the floor, crying.
