continued from above... Carl: I have to talk like that. You need to hear the truth. I don’t have much longer and I don’t want to spend my last hours seeing you blame others for what’s happening to me. It isn’t anyone else’s fault. It’s just time. Elizabeth: What am I gonna do? Carl: You’re gonna be fine my dear. You’re gonna live a long, happy life. You’re gonna have children of your own, and you’re gonna be that strong foundation for them, as your grandmother was for Rachel, and Rachel will be...for you. Elizabeth shakes her head in apparent disbelief, and she cries. Elizabeth: How am I gonna live without you? Carl: You will find a way. Carl pulls her in an embrace as Rachel and Cory watch from the door. CAMERA PAN ON CARL AND ELIZABETH...SLOW FADE OUT...END OF EPISODE 218

ANOTHER WORLD 218 Party at the Corys Part 2 Carl makes a cryptic revelation Consultants: ML Cooks and A. Washington Beeby PART 1 CORY MANSION Someone rings the doorbell and Carl, dressed in a white tuxedo, answers the door and Grant walks in. Carl: Grant Harrison. Grant looks around. Grant: Where is everyone? This doesn’t look like a party. Am I early? Carl: No not at all. As a matter of fact, your punctuality is very much appreciated. You’re right on time. Grant: Is this some kind of game you’re playing because if it is… Carl: No Grant this is not a game, but I assure you, what I’m about to do will be a whole lot of fun. Grant: And what is that? Carl takes an envelope out of his inside jacket pocket. Carl: This...is about what you took from me twenty years ago. Grant: Are you still angry about Ryan? Carl paces while he recalls his version of the events… Carl: At the train trestle. Your mother lead everyone there. Grant: I thought Ryan was trying to… Carl: The whole thing was about you. Grant: I needed to know where Kirkland was. Carl: You shot my son in the back like a coward and killed him. You took Ryan away from me; from Victoria; from Kirkland. Grant: Kirkland had a father! Carl: You are no kind of father. You took my son away from me in the most cowardly way, but I’ve had the distinct and utter pleasure...of keeping yours from you. Carl holds up the envelope. Carl: This...is about your child. Grant: Kirkland? Grant starts shaking his head. Grant: No. No. Are you trying to say that Ryan is Kirkland’s biological father? Carl smiles deviously as Ryan, dressed in blue jeans and a buttoned up lumberjack shirt, watches, and only Carl sees him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AT KIRKLAND’S SUITE...Kirkland is front of the mirror’s common area. He flashes back to what Ryan told him. (EPISODE 215) Ryan: One lie is gonna turn into another and another, and it’s the lies that are gonna break up you up. The longer you keep lying, the more you destroy the trust. The best chance for you to save your marriage...is to tell Charlie the truth. Kirkland flashes back to the present and he hears Charlie. Charlie: Well...what do you think? Kirkland turns around and sees his wife is a fitted forest green dress with white high heeled shoes, and her hair in a bun. Kirkland: You look...stunning. Charlie smiles. Charlie: I knew you’d like it. Charlie walks up to him and they kiss. Meanwhile, Kirkland has another flashback… (EPISODE 217) Eric: Then Charlie is gonna get a copy of this, and I don’t have to tell you what will happen after that. Oh keep it. I’ve got plenty of copies. You could have another career on your hands is this went viral. A lot of gay men, will want a taste of your frank. I know I do...as often...as I can. Eric unzips Kirkland’s pants, looks down, and looks back in Kirkland’s face. Eric: There we go. I knew you wouldn’t disappoint. Kirkland flashes back to the present. He then faces Charlie Charlie: Are you alright? Kirkland: Yeah I’m...I’m great. Charlie: We gotta get to the Corys. Kirkland: Right. -------------------------------------------------- CORY MANSION Cory is in his bedroom buttoning up his white dress shirt as someone knocks on the door knocks twice. Cory: Come in Lizzie. Elizabeth walks in and leaves the door ajar. Elizabeth is wearing a light gray dress. Cory: Hey. Elizabeth: Are you ready? Cory: I dunno. Elizabeth: I have to be honest with you. I’m not. I’m not ready to say goodbye to daddy again. Cory: I’m not either, but we don’t have much of a choice do we? Elizabeth: It’s like they’re giving up. Especially mom. She didn’t give up last time. This time, it’s like she’s just throwing in the towel. Cory: Mom and Dr. Matthews did everything they could to help dad. The tumor is just too aggressive. Elizabeth: He came back last time didn’t he? Didn’t our brother Evan save his life? Cory: Lizzie give it up! We can’t save dad this time! Rachel peeks in and walks in. Elizabeth: I’m not so ready to give up on daddy like everyone else. Rachel: None of us are, but sometimes we have to accept what is. Your father has an aggressive brain tumor, and nothing we’ve tried has worked. Elizabeth: Well you should try harder. Seems like you’re just waiting for dad to die. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MEANWHILE, in the Cory Mansion living room, Carl walks to the bar and pours himself a drink while Grant follows closely, and so does spirit Ryan, unseen to Grant. Carl: A drink? Grant: What the hell kind of sick game are you playing Carl? You talk about my son and you want to drink to that? Carl: That’s because you think I’m talking about Kirkland. I would never hurt that boy. He turned out way more decent than you could ever dream to be. Grant: Kirkland is the only child I have. Carl: No Grant. You have another child out there. Carl gives Grant the envelope. Grant: What is this? Carl: Go ahead. Open it. CAMERA PAN ON CARL...SLOW FADE TO THEME SONG ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PART 2 CAR...Kirkland is driving with Charlie in the front passenger’s seat. Charlie: I went shopping with Lindsay yesterday. Kirkland: Oh that sounds good. How’d that go? Charlie: She picked this dress out for me. I had no idea what I was gonna wear. I wanted to choose something that you’d like, especially after that fight we had. Kirkland: I wouldn’t call it a fight. A disagreement maybe. Charlie: Well I finally saw your point of view, and I love you for it. I realized how much you love me. Kirkland: I...I do love you...so much. You have brought so much positivity to my life. I was full of hate and contempt for my dad before I came back. Charlie: Well if you’re trying to give me credit...don’t. When I came back home I… Charlie stops herself as if she’s going to say too much. Kirkland: You what? Charlie: I had fences to mend with my mother. She stayed away from Bay City after we thought she was killed by Fax Newman. I only shared with you what my experiences were. Kirkland: And I appreciate you for that. My dad and I are good now, and I do have you to thank for that. Charlie smiles. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carl, with drink in hand, walks toward the double doors leading to the gazebo, while Grant, who is behind him, looks over the contents of the envelope… Grant: This says I’m a match for this person’s father? Carl: You would be correct. Grant: But it doesn’t say who the person is. Carl: Again, you’re correct. Grant: So you’re playing a game again. Carl: This is no game Grant. You see, I don’t have much time left, and I thought I would leave you with a parting gift. Grant: You’re dying? Ha! Evil like you never dies. Carl: This is it Grant. Grant: You know who my child is don’t you? Carl: Yes..I most certainly do. Grant: Tell me where I can find them. Carl: Now that...I’m not going to do. Grant: How do I know this is even authentic? Carl: Go ahead Grant. Verify it. You’re gonna have to think long and hard about the possibility of this child. I have to say...it gives me great satisfaction to do this after you took my son from me. After you shot my son in the back on the train trestle! Grant: Tell me where my child is! Carl laughs as to tell Grant that he is not going divulge any information. Grant: Tell me where my child is! Toni Burrell, in police uniform, walks in with two other officers. Toni: Is everything okay in here Carl? Is Grant threatening you? Carl: No...as a matter of fact he was just leaving. Toni: Come on Carl, I’d love to haul his ass in after everything he’s done. Grant: That’s fine. I’ve got someplace else to go anyway. Carl: Good luck on your mission Grant. It won’t be as difficult as you think. Now get out. Toni and the officers stare at Grant. Toni (to one of the officers): See that he gets out. One of the officers escorts Grant out as Toni approaches Carl. Toni: We just came by to make sure everything was fine. Carl: Yes. Everything...is as it should be. Toni and the other officer leave the living room and Carl and then Ryan speaks. Ryan: You’ve been holding on to that for a long time haven’t you? Carl: He’s your coward brother. Ryan: I guess this is your way of letting it go. Carl: I suppose you could say that. Ryan: I’m glad you did. Even he deserves to know the truth. Carl: Did you really think I was going to tell him? He has no idea how close he is to finding his child. He’ll figure it out. Ryan: I get the feeling that the last thing you’re concerned about is Grant’s offspring. Carl: You’re exactly right. I’m concerned about my children, especially Cory and Elizabeth. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cory: Lizzie stop it. Rachel: That is not true! Elizabeth: You could have gone overseas. You could have done something to stop the growth. Rachel: If there was another way don’t you think we would have found it and used it by now. You have to accept it. Carl is going to die. Elizabeth: Why? Why are we going through this again? Rachel: I don’t know honey. Cory: We gotta be strong Lizzie. Dad doesn’t want us moping around feeling sorry for him. Elizabeth: Is that what you think I wanna do? I just don’t think we’ve done enough to save him. Carl walks in. Carl: Let me speak to my daughter alone please. Cory and Rachel look at each other...and walk out. Carl: Elizabeth...stop it right now! Your mother did everything she could. Dr. Matthews did everything he could. There’s nothing else we can do to stop the tumor from growing. Elizabeth starts to cry. Elizabeth: No dad I dont wanna believe that! I can’t bear to lose you again. Carl: You’re so young; so beautiful; so ready to take on the world. Elizabeth: Not without you daddy. Carl’s eyes start to well up. Carl: Yes my darling daughter...you can do it without me. Your mother always used to tell how much you were like Ada. So strong willed; so determined. Rachel said Ada was her rock, and you’re gonna have to rely on your mother. Elizabeth: No daddy don’t talk like that!

This episode is packed....and building up Daniel senses that he's going to find something that he really doesn't want to. Kate learns what Gabi is up to...hmmmm.... Liam is revealed as the dealer. LOVE LOVE LOVE the sexual tension between Alex and Will....and the Kiriakis dinner coming... GOOD!!

I see what are you setting up here. Daniel starts his investigation..we wonder where this is going to lead. Way to make a political statement using Eric Brady lol...but it was good for him to express that. Just him going through his conflict. Nick is just trying to run everyone's lives isn't he? The interaction between Hope and Rafe about the burglar...sounds like the start of something much bigger. Good episode

Todd is headed to Paradise...for Paul Ryan...hmmm we'll see how that unfolds The teens are enjoying their party, but Zack has got some anger issues Greg has made a friend in Dee I wonder if Ben really likes Luke because I was sure Ben was playing him Beautiful scene between Sam and Trinity...very light and sweet

Dani is pushing hard on Malik...but does he have eyes for Marah? Eric’s dad is alive!!!! WOW!!!! Great twist and explanation at the end about the years in advance taping..lol I have a little trouble keeping up with the teens because there are many of them, but i like the party atmosphere that they are in. Yes you hit it with the music again man..I wonder what that Dee girl is up to. I bet she’s connected to Vin GOOD EP

Lots of intrigue and mystery here...especially toward the end Trinty/Sam/Zack - Real conversation between them. I like that. I bet trouble is abound at this end-of-the-summer bash. Blair/Reva - Their rivalry has turned into a real hoot and it’s providing comic relief, which is always good for a soap, but things are now getting serious. I wonder what Blair has found out about Reva that we don't already know. Gary/Todd/Mystery Man - The plot is thickening here. Paul Ryan and the mystery man. Sounds like James Stenbeck, Eric's dad lol.

(continued from above) Cass: Yeah. She said she’s gonna get there a little late. Frankie: Oh. Cass: You seem relieved. Frankie: I have to be honest. I didn’t get a good feeling when she left. She couldn’t lock her car doors from inside here. Cass: You think something’s wrong with Maggie? Frankie: I did earlier but I guess I was wrong. We’ll see her at the party right? Cass: Right. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IN A ROOM...Maggie is lying on a cot. Her hands and ankles are tied. Her mouth is gagged; eyes blindfolded and unconscious, with Brianna standing over her. With Maggie’s cell phone, Brianna takes a picture of Maggie. Brianna: Yeah Cass, Maggie will be along later. Not in the way you think though. Cass (V.O.): Nothing for you to worry about honey. Maggie’s fine.

ANOTHER WORLD 217 Party at the Corys Part 1 Christy uses Eric; Maggie is in danger Consultants: ML Cooks and A. Washington Beeby PART 1 Kirkland and Charlie are lying in bed. As Charlie sleeps, Kirkland picks up his cell phone off the night table and it reads 7:35am. He swipes to a picture of the ledger he took while at his father’s house: Company Route Amount GO LIMO Dr. Weston $427 CENTER SUITES Suite $1,256 PREPAID PHONE Phone $80 Kirkland (thinking in his mind): I gotta find out what that’s about. Why did Christy go to Salem? -------------------------------------------------------------- CHRISTY’S SUITE Someone is ringing the doorbell. The alarm clock on Christy’s night table reads 8:56am, and she emerges from the bathroom holding her stomach as she goes and answers the door. Brianna Jameson walks in. Brianna: What’s wrong with you? Are you okay? Christy: I’m...I’m fine. Cramps. Brianna: That’s a sign. Christy: I know that. That means it’s time, and I hope you’re ready to do your part. ------------------------------------------------------------- AT THE WINTHROPS...Maggie checks her cell phone as the time reads 2:42pm as she rings the doorbell. Cass answers the door. Cass: Heeeey. The two embrace. Cass: My God it’s so good to see you. Come on in. It’s about time you came and saw your old man. Frankie walks into the living room. Frankie: And your stepmother. Maggie: Frankie. She and Frankie embrace. Frankie: Hey honey. Maggie takes out her car keys. Cass: Why do you keep pressing that button? Maggie: I’m trying to lock my car. Frankie: Oh you don’t have to do that out here. Cass: Unless you left food in there. Frankie (smiling): Yeah, the animals. Maggie: It’s a brand new car. Cass: So what did Cecile buy? Maggie: My mom didn’t buy anything. I mean I am a doctor now right. I can afford such things. Cass: That’s riiiiight. Have you started yet? Maggie: No...I start tomorrow. I just had to come see you guys. Cass: And I’m happy that you came. Frankie: You know Cass and I are going to the Corys tonight. You need to come with us. Cass: Rachel will be happy to see you. Maggie: Yeah sure but I gotta find something to wear, oh my God. What time does the party start? Cass looks at Frankie unsure how to answer Maggie’s question. Cass: What did the text say? Frankie: I’ll have to look at it. I think you’ve got plenty of time though. Maggie: Well let me get outta here. I gotta get something. Cass: I’ll text you with the time. Maggie: Sure sure. I love you. Frankie: We love you, too honey. Drive safe. Maggie leaves and Frankie watches her from the door, and Cass joins her, and rubs her shoulders. Cass: Look at her. She’s come such a long way. Frankie walks back into the living room and Cass shuts the door. Cass: What’s wrong? Frankie: I can’t shake this feeling Cass. Something is off. Cass: What do you think it is? Frankie: I don’t know. I can’t put my finger on it. ----------------------------------------------------------- Maggie gets inside of her car. She smiles, turns the car on and the time reads 3:17pm and suddenly, unseen from the back seat, Brianna sticks a needle in Maggie’s neck injecting her with a strong sedative, and it knocks her unconscious. Brianna: Should’ve locked your doors Maggie. ------------------------------------------------------------ BACK AT CHRISTY’S SUITE…The alarm clock now reads 4:06pm. Christy answers the door and it’s an unwelcome visitor, Kirkland, who walks right in. Christy: I didn’t invite you in here. At least I know you’re not a vampire. Kirkland: No I’m not, and I’m not out for blood, but I want some answers. Christy sighs with exasperation. Christy: To what? A test? Go to Bay City University. Kirkland: I’m not talking about an exam, but a limo ride to Dr. Weston the day after my wedding reception. Christy: I don’t know what you’re talking about. Christy turns away from Kirkland, sensing he just might be on to something. Kirkland: You crash my wedding reception. You and my dad exchange this weird look as if you know each other. Then you take off to Salem, and get this suite on my dad’s dime? Christy: You’re just getting warm aren’t you? Kirkland: That’s a question only you can answer, and I’m not leaving here until I get it! CAMERA PAN ON KIRKLAND...SLOW FADE TO THEME SONG ------------------------------------------------------------- PART 2 Christy: Well that’s interesting, because I also think it’s time you get your answers. It’s time you find out the real reason I stayed in Bay City. Kirkland: You can start from the beginning. Christy: Oh I’m not gonna tell you the story. Eric walks in and shuts the door. Christy: My son is, and it’s time for me to leave you two alone. If you’ll excuse me. Christy leaves Eric and Kirkland alone. Kirkland: What the hell is this? Some type of set up. Ambush? Eric: No, not exactly like that. Kirkland: So you’re gonna tell me why your crazy mother stayed in Bay City when she could have left after my dad got her out of prison. Eric: I’ll tell you what you need to know. -------------------------------------------------------------- OUTSIDE CHRISTY’S SUITE...Christy gets a text that reads “I’ve done my part.” Christy: It’s time. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Kirkland: What? That’s why she went to Dr. Weston? Eric: Yep. You got the pure unadulterated truth. Most of it. Kirkland: Didn’t know you had it in you. You did the right thing Eric. Now I can tell Cass and Frankie what Christy’s up to. Kirkland turns to leave. Eric: Not so fast. Don’t you wonder how my mom got all the evidence that links your dad to Evan Frame? Kirkland stops as he realizes the gravity of what Eric is talking about. Eric: After all it was locked in your father’s living room safe. It was so easy to break into. My mom needed some leverage, something to make your father work his magic. Kirkland: You were the one who broke into my dad’s house. Eric: Yep it was me, and I gave the evidence to my mom. Kirkland: Where is it? Eric: Now you know I can’t tell you that. Kirkland: That’s the least you can do. You can get from under your mother. You don’t have to be like her. Eric: But I am. It’s like you told K.C. I come from a lineage of sociopaths. I’ve embraced that about myself. Kirkland: I was right about you. You’re a lunatic. Eric: I’m not a lunatic, but I am crazy...crazy about you. Kirkland: What? Eric moves closer to Kirkland and comes face to face with him. Eric: Don’t act surprised Kirkland. When I stole the evidence from your father’s living room, I kept something for myself and believe me when I say, I really enjoy watching it. Over and over. Kirkland: You freak! Eric: Oh you’re gonna see...just how much of a freak I am. Kirkland: You’re dating my cousin to cover up your sexuality? Eric: Isn’t that why you married Charlie? Kirkland moves away from Eric, but Eric follows him. Kirkland: You want sex don’t you? I’m not cheating on my wife. Eric: You’re gonna give me what I want. Eric walks over to his mother’s laptop, sticks a flash drive in the USB, and plays it. The footage of Kirkland having sex with the bartender at Genoa City Athletic Club, and Kirkland watches in amazement. As Kirkland walks to the laptop watching this video, and Eric walks up behind him. Kirkland: What do you want from me? Eric whispers in his ear and massages Kirkland’s crotch. Eric: You know what I want. I want a taste what that bartender tasted. Kirkland grabs Eric hand, takes the flash drive, and moves it away from his crotch. Kirkland: And if I don’t? Eric: Then Charlie is gonna get a copy of this, and I don’t have to tell you what will happen after that. Oh keep it. I’ve got plenty of copies. You could have another career on your hands if this went viral. A lot of gay men, will want a taste of your frank. I know I do...as often...as I can. Eric unzips Kirkland’s pants, looks down, and looks back in Kirkland’s face. Eric: There we go. I knew you wouldn’t disappoint. -------------------------------- BACK AT THE WINTHROPS Frankie is in the living room, fully dressed in a gray pants with an off white blouse. She looks at her watch which reads 6:36pm. Cass walks in dressed in a navy blue suit, shirt, tie and shoes. Cass (sighs): Are you ready? Frankie: As ready as I’m ever gonna be. Cass: You seem tense. Frankie: I am. Something is just not right. Cass: Maybe it’s Carl. Frankie: That’s...part of it. Cass: I sent the text to Maggie about the party. Frankie: Did she respond back?

Devin Lucas: I didn’t know any of you. Cory: So all of a sudden now you show up. Devin Lucas: It’s a long story. You can have dad and your mom to explain it to you. --------------------------------------------------------- (insert Bette Midler “In this life” here. Please play while reading the scene.) Rachel: All of our children will need love. Carl: I needed your love Rachel. I was so lost. So empty. So unfulfilled. Your love changed my life. Rachel: And you changed mine. Carl: After everything I did to you and Mackenzie, you still loved me. If anything I got out of this life, is that love is a powerful thing. Rachel: You taught me how to love and trust again. I had lost Mac, and my mother. I needed you more than we both even realized. Carl: These are my last days, maybe even hours. I just want to make the most of all of them. Rachel hugs Carl tightly and her eyes well up. Rachel: You...changed my life, too. Carl: Our love lives through all of our children. Be the mother that you’ve always been to them. That’s going to help you through this. You are going to need them, and they are going to need you. Rachel: All the while, I’m going to miss you. Carl: It’s coming. It’s almost time for me to move on, but people in this town look up to you; admire you; need you. Even people who aren’t family. That’s what I love you so much about you Rachel. Your heart. So open. Rachel: I haven’t always been that way you know. Carl: We’ve changed each other. Rachel: Just...let me feel you. Let me have as much as I can of you. They hug.

ANOTHER WORLD 216 Consultants: ML Cooks and A. Washington Beeby Kirkland gets closer to uncovering Christy’s plan PART 1 CORY MANSION Carl walks slowly into the living room, and he looks around, as if to take in as much ambiance of the place as he can, because he doesn’t have much time left. Rachel walks in and observes her husband with his back turned, but Carl feels her presence. Carl: This living room...this place. So much has happened in here. I’ve had the privilege to live in it. Rachel: It was meant. You were destined to be here. Everything has come to this. Carl: Tomorrow night, I’ll announce to all of our family and friends, that I have a brain tumor. Rachel massages his shoulders. Rachel: I know you do meditation, but I’ve never seen you this nervous. Carl: I’m not trepidatious about me. I’m just thinking about the children. Rachel: The children are going to be okay. They’re gonna lean on each other. Carl: They’re all going to need you. Rachel: And you can rest assured I’ll be here for them...all of them. Carl: They’re all on my mind, but Devin Lucas is the one I need you to...love up on. You know? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AT THE CENTER… Cory and Elizabeth are sitting at a table sipping coffees. Cory: One more day. Elizabeth: Don’t remind me. Cory: At least they told us first. Elizabeth: It doesn’t hurt any less. I can’t bear the thought of losing daddy again. Cory: Neither can I. We gotta get through it somehow. Elizabeth: Daddy came back to us last time but this seems like it’s final. Cory: Why did this have to happen again? Elizabeth: If you can answer why the sky’s blue then you can answer that. Cory: We gotta...stick together. Devin Lucas walks up to them. Devin Lucas: I agree. Cory: And who are you? Elizabeth: Dad didn’t tell you huh? Cory: Tell me what? Elizabeth: This is our big brother Devin Lucas Hutchins. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHRISTY’S SUITE Grant walks in. Christy: Grant what do you want? And don’t forget to invite yourself in. Grant: You are really one piece of work aren’t you? Christy: I’ve been called worse I’m sure. Grant: You forget who’s paying for this suite. I should be able to walk in anytime I want. Christy: And I can go to the police anytime I want with the dossier that proves you bankrolled Evan Frame’s reign of terror. Grant: You are really spoiling my mood. Christy: Oh here we go again. Let me guess, Paulina left the dashing, handsome detective Jack Snyder...for you. Grant smiles. Grant: That day is closer than you could ever imagine. ----------------------------------------------------------------- PAULINA’S HOUSE Paulina opens the door and sees someone holding a bouquet of flowers in front of his face. Paulina: Hmmm who could that be? Jack moves the roses and smiles at Paulina. Jack: Is the lady of the house in? Paulina: It depends on who those beautiful roses are for. Jack: Alright you got me. They’re for you. Paulina: Thank yoouuu. Jack gives them to Paulina, and he follows her inside as she places the roses in a vase with water. Jack: There’s something I came here for. Paulina: Hmmm for what? Jack: I was wondering if you wanted to have breakfast with me tomorrow morning. Paulina: I think that could be arranged, but who says breakfast has to be in the morning? Jack: What other part of the day did you have in mind? Paulina wraps her arms around Jack and looks up into his eyes. Paulina: Eating is good in all parts of the day. Jack: Eating out you mean? Paulina: Well...since you mentioned breakfast and all that, I was hoping for a nice, juicy piece of sausage. Jack: Is it the kind that...plumps when it cooks. Paulina: I used to co-own a restaurant. I learned a thing or two about prepping meals. Jack: Any place you’re at is a nice place to...eat out. They kiss passionately. ------------------------------------------------------ GRANT’S HOUSE Kirkland walks in and calls out for Grant. “Daaad ya here?” He walks to the back and doesn’t see his father. He turns to leave but notices something on Grant’s desk. Kirkland: What’s this? There is something on the ledger that catches his eye.

Jack: I’ll never get tired of it. Paulina: Reminds me of… Jack: That was a long time ago. This feels different. More mature. Paulina: More than we were back then. You know I hate that...that you are going through a separation with Carly. I feel like I might be responsible. Jack: Look, don’t start that. Carly and I were having problems long before we… Paulina: Before we what? Jack: Fell in love again. Truth is, Paulina, I always loved you. Funny how we found each other again. Paulina: You found me fighting with my sister in the Bay City Center fountain. Jack: It seems like everything came back. Everything I felt back then. -------------------------------------------- Christy: You’ve been saying for the last fifty years it seems. Do you still have all of your teeth? Grant: Not even your snarky little jokes are gonna hamper my mood. Grant picks up the jump drive and looks at it with confidence. Grant: Jack and Paulina better enjoy every little moment they have together, because I’m about to blow them to bits, and claim the woman I’ve always loved. ---------------------------------------------- Paulina: Me, too. It was like time fast forwarded. Don’t get me wrong. I have two wonderful children and I had a great husband, but I’m here...now....with you. Jack: I don’t regret anything that happened between now and then, and I don’t regret anything that’s happening now. Paulina: What about Carly? Jack: Carly gave me two beautiful children and a great ride for the time that she did, but it seems that it’s over. Paulina: A great ride huh? Jack smiles. Paulina: How about this rollercoaster? They kiss passionately. ----------------------------------------------- Christy: I’ll believe it when I see it. Grant: Oh you’re going to see it alright. You’re gonna see Paulina on my arm. She and Jack will be history after I show him what’s on this drive. Grant gets a text from Kirkland that reads: “Can I see you tomorrow? We need to talk.”, and his mood changes a bit. Christy: Who was that? Grant: That was my son. He says he needs to talk to me. I hope everything is okay with him. --------------------------------------------------------------- KIRKLAND’S SUITE Kirkland puts his cell phone in his pocket, walks up the door of his suite, and flashes back… (EPISODE 215) Ryan: One lie is gonna turn into another and another, and it’s the lies that are gonna break up you up. The longer you keep lying, the more you destroy the trust. The best chance for you to save your marriage...is to tell Charlie the truth. Kirkland nods his head. Kirkland: I’m gonna tell her. I’m gonna go tell Charlie everything....right now. Kirkland flashes back to the present, takes a deep breath, and inserts his key into the slot. He enters and faces Charlie. Kirkland: Hey babe. Charlie: Hi. The two stay quiet waiting for the other to talk, and Charlie breaks the silence. Charlie: Look I’m sorry. I’ve been thinking all day and...you were right. Kirkland: About Eric? Charlie: You are just trying to...be a good husband to me, and I’m grateful and I appreciate it. Kirkland: Yeah...I love you so much Charlie. Charlie: I know...more so now than ever. Kirkland: Babe it’s....something I need to… Charlie: No...there’s nothing you need to do. All I want you to do is let me make it up to you. Charlie kneels down, unbuckles his pants and… Kirkland: There’s something I...I… Charlie stops Kirkland by starting fellatio, then she rises up. Charlie: Make love to me. ------------------------------------------------------- Cory and Devin Lucas meet. Cory: So you’re the famous Devin Lucas? Devin Lucas: The one and only. Elizabeth: Well I kinda always wanted a big brother. I didn’t know Ryan or Evan. Devin Lucas: I didn’t know any of you.

ANOTHER WORLD FANFIC CASTING NEWS AMELIA MARSHALL as Dr. Thomasina Todd Last we saw Thomasina Todd, she, her husband Carter Todd, and her baby Grant Todd II left for Los Angeles in 1986 so she could take pre-med at UCLA. She is now a doctor, and will be involved in a major storyline. Has been mentioned many times by Joy Kramer. Her husband, Grant Todd, was unintentionally poisoned to death by Carl Hutchins. RENEE ELISE GOLDSBERRY as Dana Kramer Dana is still an attorney but will be a very different kind upon her return. Her first order of business will be helping her half sister Joy. FINN WITTROCK as Neil Collins Neil will be Dana's understudy, as he is in pre-law, but will also have a connection that will be revealed later. KENDRICK SAMPSON (Grant Todd II) Grant Todd II will be coming later to join his mother. He will be going by “Todd”. He has a connection to a current Bay City resident that his mother does not approve of.

Sami/Nicole/EJ - I like their squabbles and i hope you are able to capture them more with Sami being her boss. Valerie/Jerome - Nice interaction with them, but even better was the interjection of Valerie saying she raised him since he was a baby, which makes me question where his mother or father was. That sets up future story. Laura/Daniel - Daniel was completely fooled by Liam until he realized that he treated Abby for her fall. Good play on the past there to set up this point...what will Daniel's digging on Liam Frasier lead to? Eric/Marlena - Nice heart to heart, relationship cultivating conversation they are about to have. You and I are similar in writing styles and how we play on stories and relationships....makes for an easier, understanding, and entertaining read. Good episode once again.

Movement in this one... Valerie/Roman/Marlena - Nice continuation from the last episode. Valerie is going to start digging into Roman's medical records to see if Alzheimer's is a possibility. The next step to this story, which I will be following to see how you play it out. Sami/Nicole/EJ- Sami is Nicole's boss...THIS should be VERY interesting!! LOL Lucas/Kate/Billie - Nice reveal that they are working to bring down Jordan and Sheryl...I can see where this is tying into....the Penthouse Grille. Victor/Maggie - Nice sweet scene between those two, and now Maggie has ownership of the Penthouse Grille...you are setting up something here... Great job!!

A lot going on in this episode... Valerie/Roman/Marlena - Valerie seems extremely important here. She knew him as Chris Kostichek and everyone else knows him as Roman. I seem to think she may (inadvertently) know more than she even knows herself. Interesting start here to that story. Nicole/Eric/Noelle - Nicole stung Eric and you know that I like when she does that because he uses her as his emotional punching bag way too much. Doesn't feel good huh Mr Brady? Good to introduce us to Noelle and her connections to current Salemities. Kim/Kayla - You know I live for the family moments Lol...Nice good-bye for Kayla and Kim, but you did some foreshadowing with Kayla. Good way to make the interaction important. Jordan/Sheryl/Jerome/Lucas/Kate - Jordan and Jerome were lovers? I don't think he's too bothered. He's there to help Jordan and Sheryl and their infiltration scheme. Lucas smells a rat, and he's enlisting just the right person to help him....Kate Roberts..

ANOTHER WORLD 215 Ryan counsels Kirkland, and Christy makes a stunning request. Written by: C. Nathaniel Richardson Consultants: ML Cooks and A. Washington Beeby ---------------------------------------------------- Part 1 AT THE HUDSONS John and Sharlene are on the couch. John is sitting up while Sharlene lies in his lap. Sharlene: That never gets old does it? John: What? Sharlene: You making love to me. John: I will never tire of that. Gregory walks in and observes his parents. Gregory: Man, this is the happiest I’ve seen you two in a long time. Sharlene: We look therefore we are. John: Your mother and I have gotten close all over again. Feels much better this time. Gregory: That’s...that’s great. I wish I could feel that way about Lindsay. Sharlene: Do you wanna talk about it honey? Gregory: If I’m California, she’s New York. That’s how close Lindsay and I have been lately. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- STACEY’S APARTMENT… Lindsay and Charlie walk in with their shopping bags. Lindsay: That was great. Oh my God. Charlie: If I had enough money I would have brought this dress in three different colors. Lindsay: The one you picked out was perfect. Charlie: I kinda got what they call buyer’s remorse. I should have gotten the baby blue one. Lindsay: Oh come on we’re not gonna regret anything okay. Charlie: Except...for the way I treated my husband earlier. Lindsay: You know you’re very lucky to have a husband like Kirkland. He’s so protective of you. Charlie: But there’s nothing to protect me from. When I saw him arguing with his mother, I saw something different. He didn’t want to crash the wedding reception. Lindsay: Sometimes it’s guilt by association. Charlie: Not always though cuz. Lindsay: But didn’t he hide the fact that he was Christy’s son until that day they came to Tops? He was a barista at the coffee shop. Charlie: The more I talk to Eric, the more I find out that he’s not like his mother. Lindsay: I dunno. You have to be on your husband’s side with this. If Kirkland wants you to stay away from Eric, then I think you should at least consider it. Kirkland loves you. Charlie: I hope that Kirkland isn’t jealous of Eric or something. He knows how much I love him. ------------------------------------------------------------------- CHRISTY’S SUITE Eric walks in. Christy: Son it’s so good to see you. Thanks for coming. Eric: What’s up mom? Christy: You’re still mad at me aren’t you? Eric tries to fight his angry front, but to no avail… Eric: No, I’m not. I just don’t want people to look at me differently because of what we did at Tops. Christy: Honey I’ve been trying to tell people that it wasn’t your idea, but we can’t control what they think. Eric: I’m meeting some...nice people here in Bay City. Christy: Like who? Charlie Winthrop Hudson? Eric: And K.C. Burrell. She’s pretty cool. Christy looks at him with pursed lips. Christy: Eric baby, your mother knows more than you think. Eric: Know what? Christy: You turned over the evidence you stole out of Grant Harrison’s house to me. All I have is proof that Grant bankrolled Evan Frame’s scheme in St. Croix, but you kept something. Eric: Mom what are you talking about? Christy: It has to do with Kirkland Harrison doesn’t it? ------------------------------------------------------------------- HOSPITAL Kirkland is in an exam room, and sees Ryan, who again is dressed in blue jeans, sneakers and a button shirt. Kirkland: I still can’t believe you angels wear regular clothes. Are you the new wave? Ryan: What were you expecting exactly? Was I supposed to be flying through the sky with huge wings? Kirkland: Sorry. Ryan: You know, kid, you showed a lot of courage coming here today. Kirkland: I’m worried. What if I don’t get the result that I’m looking for? What if I’m HIV positive? A doctor walks in. Doctor: Hi Mr. Harrison. I have the results. CAMERA PAN ON KIRKLAND...SLOW FADE TO THEME SONG ------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 2 Charlie: Kirkland and I went through a lot to get where we are. I’m not gonna throw that away over a disagreement. Lindsay: Of course not. Charlie: And I’m gonna show him. Lindsay: I like the sound of that. Charlie: But I think you should take some of your own advice...and work things out with Gregory. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- AT THE HUDSONS Sharlene: She’s probably trying to process the fact that she can’t have children. Gregory: Why won’t she let me help her? John: Because she’s pushing you away right? Gregory: Yeah. John: I’m sorry Gregory but I have to be honest. I never had a great feeling about Lindsay Winthrop. Gregory: That’s not what I need to hear right now dad. John: She lied about her reasons for coming to Bay City in the first place. When you questioned her she pushed you away then, too. Sharlene: John I don’t think you’re being fair. John: Come on Sharlene, this girl is always playing with his emotions and it’s not right. Sharlene: I don’t think Lindsay’s doing that. I think she just needs some space. Give her time. She’ll come around. Gregory: Looks like she doesn’t mind someone else occupying that space. John: What are you talking about? Gregory: Lindsay seemed just fine chatting it up at the Center yesterday. Sharlene: Who was she with? Gregory: She was with Charlie and her uncle. Sharlene: Charlie’s uncle? When did Morgan get to town? Gregory: Not Morgan Winthrop. I’m talking about Carl Hutchins’ son, Devin Lucas Hutchins. Sharlene: Carl has another child? Gregory: Right, and it looked he and Lindsay were getting along just fine. She sure wasn’t pushing him away. -------------------------------------------------------------- Lindsay: I don’t want Gregory treating me like I’m so fragile because I’m not. Charlie: Of course you’re not, but I hope you weren’t pushing him away. Lindsay: Yeah I...I was, but I’m still dealing with this. Charlie: Linds you can’t let it take you out. You can’t let it destroy what you have with Gregory. Lindsay: Why would he still want me? I can’t even have children. Charlie: I don’t think he cares about that. He loves you, and you have to let him do that. It’s pretty much what you told me about Kirkland. You’ve got to let Gregory love you, just like I’m going to let Kirkland do the same for me. --------------------------------------------------------------- Kirkland: So...what are they? Doctor: We didn’t find any of the virus in your system. You’re negative. I would recommend coming back in six months for another test. Kirkland: Thank you doctor. Thank you so much. The doctor leaves and Ryan appears again. Kirkland: Thank God. Ryan: I’m glad kid. You dodged a bullet. Kirkland: I feel relieved that I’m HIV negative, but why don’t I feel like I’m out of the woods yet? Ryan: Because you’re afraid of Charlie finding out about your past relationship with Scott Granger, and you sleeping with the bartender at the Genoa City Athletic Club. Kirkland: I love her and I don’t wanna lose her. Ryan: Then trust in the love that you two have. That should get you through whatever fears you have. Kirkland: I do trust her. Ryan: I’m not so sure about that. Kirkland: What do you mean? Of course I trust her. Ryan: You can’t keep lying to Charlie. It’s only gonna get worse. --------------------------------------------- Eric: Mom I didn’t keep anything. Christy: Don’t lie to me honey. I love you...no matter what. Nothing is going to change that. Eric: Mom what are you getting at? Christy: When I walked into the coffee shop one day, you were paying particular close attention to Grant Harrison’s speech on the Religious Freedom Law, especially the part where he said was against gays and lesbians being discriminated against. Eric: Why can’t I want equality for everyone? Christy: Because you’re one of them. You are using K.C. Burrell to hide your sexuality. Eric: I’m not doing that! Christy: Eric honey it’s okay. Whether you’re gay or straight I still love you. I will always be your mother. Eric: Mom… Christy: You’re using Charlie to get to Kirkland aren’t you? Kirkland is the one you want. Eric: You think you’ve got everything figured out. Christy: I know you kept the evidence of him having sex in Genoa City with another man...and I want you to use it to keep him off my tail. Eric is stunned at Christy’s request. Eric: Of course it’s all about you isn’t it? Christy: If you use that evidence, then we’ll both get what we want, because I’m sure that Kirkland hasn’t told Charlie has he? Christy smiles. Christy: Opportunity’s knocking. All you have to do is open the door. Eric: Opportunity? Christy: We stand to benefit from this. Eric: Again...about you. Christy: Honey, you are about the only thing I’ve ever done right in my life. You’re my baby that I held in my arms. You cried and cried, and with every scream, my love for you grew. After Douglas and James made me give you away, I was never really the same after that. I always felt a void in my heart. I’ve been given a second chance. Christy puts her right hand on Eric’s left cheek. Christy: I love you. All I want for you is to be happy. I want you to have everything your heart desires. I don’t want you to turn out like me. I want you to live a happy, productive life. I want more for you, so yes, this is about what I want. What I want is what’s best for my son. Whatever it is you want, you need to go for it. Eric walks to the door. Christy: Where are you going? Eric: Gonna go out to think. Eric opens the door, and Grant greets him. Grant: Eric. Eric: You’re Kirkland’s dad aren’t you? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ryan: One lie is gonna turn into another and another, and it’s the lies that are gonna break up you up. The longer you keep lying, the more you destroy the trust. The best chance for you to save your marriage...is to tell Charlie the truth. Kirkland nods his head.

continued from the top John: Taylor lured you to that shed. Sharlene: Whatever she was planning, Gregory stopped her because I went into labor. John: And that was a long time ago. Taylor won’t come between us again, ever. Sharlene: It’s amazing how far she went to ruin our lives. John: And we’re still here...stronger than ever. --------------------------------------------------------------- Brianna clenches Taylor’s right hand. Taylor is weakened by her illness. Brianna: Mama they told me that it was time. Taylor: Yes. I needed to see you my sweet. I’m so sorry. Brianna: No mama. I understand why. Taylor: I was so career driven. I should have been there for you. Brianna: Shhhh mama stop it. I’m a big girl now. There’s nothing you need to be sorry for. Taylor: I put my profession before you. I shouldn’t have done that. Maybe things would have turned out different. Brianna: You haven’t been the same since… Taylor: Since John and Sharlene ruined my life. Brianna: They took your spirit from you. Taylor swallows her saliva in an attempt to gain some strength as she weakens. Taylor: I need...I need you to do me a favor. Brianna: Mama. Try to calm down okay. Taylor: They ruined my...my career. Brianna: Are you talking about John and Sharlene Hudson? Taylor is getting agitated and it is weakening her. Taylor: Yes...I should have...should have finished Sharlene when I had the chance, and that’s what I want you to do. She destroyed my life. Brianna: What is it mama? I’ll do whatever you want. Taylor: I want you to...finish what mama started. Finish Sharlene Hudson. Her monitor beeps faster. Taylor: I love my sweet Ellen. Brianna: I love you, too mama. Two doctors rush in and Brianna steps aside. They attempt to save Taylor, but she flatlines. Brianna: Mama? Please save her! Doctor #1: She’s gone. Doctor #2: Time of death 6:24pm. Doctor #1: I’m very sorry Ms. Benson. Brianna has tears in her eyes as her mother has just passed away. ------------------------------------------------- AT THE HUDSON’S...John and Sharlene have just arrived. John puts his keys on the table while Sharlene shuts the door, and the two of them kiss. Brianna (V.O.): I’m gonna carry out your wishes mama. I’m gonna finish Sharlene Hudson.

You’ve seen the commercials right? John: Oh the guy who is smelling the dog’s blanket. Sharlene: Mi towel su towel. John: I think it has something to do with the perfume. It’s driving me crazy.

Brianna: Yeah. Matt: So can I go now? I got work to do at the office. Brianna: Are you one of those all work no play guys? Matt: Haven’t had much time for leisure. Why? Brianna: I...I just...never mind. Matt: No what is it? Brianna: I recently moved to Bay City. Matt: Really? From where? Brianna: Philadelphia. Matt: Philly huh? Big city life got to ya? Brianna: Any good places to go for single gals like me? Matt: I would tell you but then you would probably miss out. Brianna: How? Matt: You know there are...places in town that I couldn’t tell where to go and how to get there, but I definitely know the way. Brianna smiles. Brianna: That means you’d have to take me. Matt: That means you’d have to let me. Brianna: I think...that could be arranged. Provided you take care yourself. Matt: So what’s my prognosis? Brianna: You’re dehydrated. You need to drink more fluids and eat something. Matt: You have better beside manner than a lot of doctors. Brianna: Flattery will get you...somewhere. I’ll get the doctor.

Brianna: Okay I’m coming up there. ---------------------------------------------- AT THE MONTGOMERYS With Marley lying on the couch. Tyrone opens the door to Vicky. Tyrone: Hey Vicky. Come in. Marley: Hey sis. Glad you stopped by. Vicky: Yeah uh...guess my little nephew’s enjoying the warmth of your belly. Marley: I’m not technically due yet. Tyrone: The actual date is in a couple days. Vicky: If you don’t deliver they’re gonna have to induce labor right? Marley: Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. Vicky: I remember when I was pregnant with the twins. Jake waited me hand and foot, and I wasn’t even on bed rest. Those were the days...when we were happy. Marley: Vicky is everything okay? Vicky: Well, if the girls stop fighting each other, Jake decides to rethink the divorce, and Steven decides not to date Joy, everything would be perfect. Tyrone: Steven’s dating who? Vicky: Joy Kramer. The one and only. Marley: Is he crazy? He needs to get away from her before she hurts him. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALSO AT THE CENTER… Steven sits across the table from Joy… Steven: I think it was over there where you dropped your cell phone. Joy: No your cousin caused me to drop it. Steven: Oh did I hit a nerve? Joy: Yeah because I loved that phone. Steven: So you don’t like the phone I picked out? Joy: That’s not what I said. Stop putting words in my mouth. Steven: So what can I put in your mouth? Joy: That smooth tongue will do for now. Steven gets up, leans over and plants a kiss on Joy, who reciprocates. Steven: Wait. Joy: What is it? You’re not finished kissing me are you? Steven: No, but I didn’t get an answer. Joy: To what? Steven: Being my date to Carl Hutchins’ party. ----------------------------------------------- BACK AT THE HOSPITAL…Maggie, wearing a white lab coat, walks into the exam room with a chart, where Matt is buttoning his shirt.

Matt: There’s been a lot going on at Cory Productions. Maggie: And you need to let someone else handle things for now. You need to be away from work for a few days. Doctor’s orders. Maggie looks at Matt’s chart. Matt: Can you send that nurse back in? Maggie (looking at the chart): Brianna Jameson? Matt: She was really nice. Maggie: You need to concentrate on taking it easy and getting some rest. You can focus on Brianna Jameson some other time. ---------------------------------------------------- DOOR Brianna walks up to a doctor who is standing at this door. Doctor: You’re the next of kin, so we called. Brianna: What’s going on? Is it? Doctor: Yeah it’s time. I think it would be comforting for her last moments to be spent with you. I’ll leave you two alone. Brianna pushes the door open, and walks slowly toward the person in the bed. She pulls up a chair, sits at the bedside, and clenches the person’s right hand. Brianna: Mama? Mama it’s Ellen. The person lying in the bed is Taylor Benson. Taylor has tubes hooked up to her nose, as her monitor beeps. She opens her eyes and smiles. Taylor: My sweet girl. I’m so glad to see you. CAMERA PAN ON TAYLOR…SLOW FADE TO THEME SONG PART 2 Tyrone: That girl’s gonna ruin his life. Marley: Call him. I’ll talk to him. I’ll happily fill him in on everything that Joy did to us. Vicky: No...no that won’t be necessary. Marley: Why not? We have to tell him what she’s capable of. Vicky: I’ve tried that. Tyrone: I take it didn’t work huh. Vicky: No. Unfortunately it didn’t. Steven is hung up on her ------------------------------------------------------- Joy: Carl Hutchins? Steven: You’ve never heard of him huh? Joy: No not much actually. Just bits and pieces, but I have heard of the Cory Mansion. Thomasina told me about it. Steven: How is she? Joy: I talked to her on the phone. She’s in great spirits. She’s doing so much better. Steven: Glad to hear that. Joy smiles and gazes into Steven’s eyes. Joy: You know I didn’t think I’d stay in Bay City when I came. I thought it was going a bit of a pit stop for me. Steven: I’d like to think I had something to do with changing your mind about it. Joy: Well, I certainly didn’t expect this. Steven: Expect what? Joy: Liking you this much. Steven: You make it sound like it’s a bad thing. Joy: Noooo that’s not what I mean. It’s actually a great thing. Things are...finally gonna go my way. Steven: I don’t care what my mother says about you. Joy: So I’m sure Vicky’s told you about what happened between Tyrone and me. Steven: And I don’t care. That occurred in the past. This is now, and all I know...right now...is that I feel so lucky to have met you. Joy: Me, too. Steven leans over and kisses her. ----------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, John and Sharlene observe Steven and Joy… Sharlene: Look at them. John: Is that my nephew? Sharlene: Sure looks like it. My goodness he’s all grown up. It just amazes me how all the kids are grown now. Our own child. Charlie, Kirkland. Time sure has flown. John: And I wanna spend all the rest of my time with you. Sharlene: You know Gregory is such a blessing to us. He probably saved my life. John: How? Sharlene: The day I gave birth to him in the shed. John: How could I forget? How could I forget anything that…? Sharlene: Mood killer aren’t I? I guess Taylor Benson is gonna be etched in our memories forever.

Brianna: Yeah I uh...heard about Fax Newman, too. John: I see you’ve done your research. Brianna: Yes sir I did. John: And since you’ve done your homework, you know that we never have enough good nurses. Brianna: Very hard to come by in this field. John: You’re exactly right. There’s been some turnover here and we need somebody who’s gonna stick around. Brianna: Hopefully Bay City will be a place that I’d like to stay in. A good job could factor into that. John: A job I hope that you can start today. Brianna: Today? Does this mean I….? John: That’s if you want it. Brianna: I’ll take it! Thank you. I will make my presence felt here.

Amanda: The contract. Matt: For the merger? Amanda: Yes. Matt: Are sure you can trust Iris? Rachel: I sure wouldn’t. Amanda: That’s why this contract was drawn up. She has to agree to be the co-CEO of the new company. Rachel: You’d be having to watch your back so she doesn’t stab you in it. Amanda: She said she’d think about it, but my offer has an expiration date. Rachel: You’ve done well Amanda. Amanda: She needs the connections that we have to grow her brand. Matt: What are you gonna do when Iris tries to betray you? Rachel: Carl and I have come up with a plan. Iris won’t betray you. Matt: What about Paulina and Sandy? Amanda: My sister and my other brother are okay with it. I’ve gotten their written agreements. I need yours now. Matt: Well you know you’re also going to need the board to sign off on it, too. Amanda: That’s the problem. One of the board members retired effective immediately. Matt: So we can’t execute the deal until we have all seven board members’ signatures. Amanda: First we gotta find another board member. Matt gets up and and blinks his eyes. Amanda: Matt what’s wrong? Matt: Nothing I just feel a little...hungry. Matt tries to walk and stumbles.

Devin Lucas: Is that right? I thought you’d be jumping for joy being that you tried to shoot him at his wedding. Iris: I’ve done my time for that. It was a learning experience. Devin Lucas: And exactly what did you take from it? How to be a better shot? Iris: I saw the pain on Rachel’s face when I heard her say he had a brain tumor, and she’s already had so much loss in her life, as have I...so yes I’m sorry that your father’s dying. My father died, too. Devin Lucas: It’s tough, but I didn’t call you over here to give your fake condolences for Carl. Iris: Well excuse me for being concerned.

Anything on Iris yet? ------------------------------------------- Iris: I haven’t decided yet. Devin Lucas: Well you need to make some type of decision because I’m sure Amanda’s offer’s not gonna stay on the table. Iris: If I accept this offer, KBAY could become a powerful company. Devin Lucas: But you and I were supposed to take over the company and make it powerful. Iris: You have to trust me on this. I have a place for you in the company. Devin Lucas: Doesn’t it make you wonder why Amanda proposed a merger to you? Out of the blue? Iris: I’m considering everything here. Devin Lucas: Sounds like you’re double crossing me. Iris: No. No that’s not it at all. You have to trust me on this. I know exactly what I intend to do. Devin Lucas: Which is? Iris: You’ll have to wait and see won’t you? Iris leaves and Devin Lucas makes a phone call. Devin Lucas: Hi it’s me. The person on the other end is Carl. Carl: So what happened? ------------ Devin Lucas: She did exactly as you said she would. ----------- Carl: You can’t trust her, especially when it comes to Cory Productions. Don’t worry son, I’ll see to it that Iris will be neutralized. ------------ Devin Lucas: Are you at home? ------------ Carl: Yes...with your mother. ------------------------------------------------------------------- CORY MANSION Carl hangs up and walks back into the living room where Lorna awaits. Lorna: What do you plan on doing with what I gave you? Carl: Don’t worry your pretty little head about it. Lorna: So you’re not gonna let me in on this plan? Carl: Not completely, but I will tell you that what’s in this envelope has been twenty years in the making. It’s time I finally stick it to Grant Harrison.

Cass: What would mean so much to us is you getting out of this house! Christy: Okay I’m...I’m leaving. Frankie escorts Christy to the door. Frankie: Good luck. Frankie hugs Christy and Christy leaves. Cass: You could give me all the money in the world and I wouldn’t have bought that. I know she’s your friend and all... Frankie: I don’t either. Cass: What? You’re actually on my side with this one? Frankie: I think she wants to leave Bay City, but it has very little to do with Eric. ----------------------------------------------------------- Rachel: And Cass and Frankie have forgiven you for that. In a way, they wouldn’t even be together if it weren’t for you. Carl: I did awful things to Kathleen McKinnon. Rachel: Stop it Carl. Stop punishing yourself for something you can’t even change. This brain tumor is not payback. Ask Cory and Elizabeth. They are devastated that their father’s dying. Our children love you. They’re the best of you. I love...the best of you. Tomorrow we’ll all honor that. Russ: I’m gonna head to the hospital. Rachel: The hospital? Russ: I’m gonna find out my application status for Chief of Staff. Carl: You deserve it. Rachel: Yes you do. I always knew you’d make an amazing doctor. Russ: I’m gonna get outta here. Carl: We’ll see you tomorrow? Russ: Yes I’ll be here. Rachel: Thank you Russ...for everything. Russ: You’re welcome Rachel. Russ leaves, and Carl sighs nervously and turns to Rachel. Carl: Tomorrow’s the big night. Rachel: It’s gonna be a night we will never forget. They hug.

This place is amazing. Devin Lucas: Must be new. Lorna: It is. This place wasn’t here when I lived in Bay City. It looks great. Devin Lucas is despondent. Lorna: Thinkin about your dad aren’t you? Devin Lucas: You’re a mindreader. They stop walking and Lorna faces him. Lorna: Honey, we can’t change the past. Devin Lucas: I feel so cheated mom. Years I missed with my father. Lorna: And we explained why. I was the only one who was able to come and see you. Devin Lucas: I know. I’m not blaming anybody. It’s just that now that I can come out of hiding, we learn that he’s dying of a brain tumor. It’s not fair. You know? Lorna: I know baby. We’re gonna get through this okay. Lorna hugs Devin Lucas. Meanwhile, Charlie and Lindsay are walking from around the corner with department store shopping bags. Lindsay: Oh my God this felt so good. I just had to get those shoes. Charlie: I had no idea what to get for Carl’s party. I loved that dress you picked out. Lindsay: It will look great on you. Kirkland’s gonna love it, too. Charlie: Thank you. Lindsay: No...you’re the one I should be thanking. You got me out of the house. You got my mind off my situation. Charlie: It’s good to see you smiling. Lindsay: I haven’t had much to smile about lately. Charlie: Linds don’t let this set you back. You can come back from this. Lindsay: I’m so happy you came. You’re the only one who doesn’t tiptoe around me. Worried they’re gonna say the wrong thing. Charlie: I take it you’re talking about your mom and Gregory. Devin Lucas and Lorna release each other from their embrace and someone catches his eye. Devin Lucas: Mom? Lorna: Yep. Devin Lucas: That’s my niece isn’t she? Lorna: Charlie Winthrop Harrison. Yep that’s Frankie’s daughter. Devin Lucas isn’t focused on Charlie. Devin Lucas: Who’s that with her? Lorna: That’s her cousin Lindsay Winthrop. Devin Lucas: I think it’s time we’re formally introduced. Devin Lucas gently passes his mother and heads toward Charlie and Lindsay. Meanwhile, Gregory, drinking a bottle of water, walks up to Lorna, who is watching Devin Lucas. Gregory: Lorna? Lorna: Hi? Gregory: It’s Gregory. Lorna: Gregory Hudson. John and Sharlene’s son? My God you’re all grown up now. You were yay big the last time I saw you. Gregory: What are you looking at? Lorna: My son. Gregory: Why is he going over toward my girlfriend? Gregory tosses his empty bottle of water in the garbage, and Lorna puts a glove on, retrieves the bottle, and puts it in her purse. Meanwhile, Devin Lucas approaches Charlie and Lindsay. Devin Lucas: Shopping? Charlie: Yeah. Devin Lucas: Hey aren’t you my niece? Charlie: Huh? Devin Lucas: Oh I’m sorry. I’m Devin Lucas Hutchins. Charlie: Hutchins? That’s my grandfather’s last name. Devin Lucas: Your grandfather is my father. He turns to Lindsay. Devin Lucas: And you are? Lindsay: I’m Lindsay. Devin Lucas: Good to meet you. Devin Lucas extends his right hand, and Lindsay extends her right hand through the handles of the shopping bag, and they shake. Devin Lucas: You must be shopping for my dad’s party tomorrow night. -------------------------------------------------------- CORY MANSION Carl answers the door and sees Russ Matthews. Carl: Dr. Matthews. Come on in. Please. Russ: This place hasn’t changed at all. They walk into the living room. Carl: Ohh this place holds a lot of history. I’m going to miss it. Russ: I came to give you some painkillers. Carl: No...Dr. Matthews. I’m going to go out with grace and dignity. Rachel walks toward the living room doors, leans on the archway, and smiles as she sees Russ and Carl. Russ: Carl these will ease the pain. I know the tumor is growing quickly. Carl: Somehow I feel I...deserve it. Especially after all the pain I’ve caused everyone else over the years. Rachel: Don’t talk like that. You’ve atoned for all of that. Russ: Rachel’s right. Your party is tomorrow. Let’s focus on that. Rachel: I agree. Carl: I can’t help but to think how things could have been different for everyone if I weren’t so evil. Especially Cass and Frankie. ----------------------------------------------------- AT THE WINTHROPS Christy has just made an unexpected visit. Cass: What the hell are you doing here? How dare you show your face at my house? Christy: I know this is...this is unexpected. Cass: And unwelcome. Christy: But I’ve made a decision and I thought that Mary Frances would be the first person I told. Cass: Why don’t you go back to hell where you came from and send a letter? Frankie: Let her in. Please. Cass: Frankie--- Frankie: Let her in. What is it that you have to tell us Christy? Christy (walking in): Thank you so much Mary Frances. You’ve always been so good to me. Cass: Say what you have to say and get the hell out! Christy: I’m gonna do that Cass, all the way out of town. I’m leaving Bay City. CAMERA PAN ON CHRISTY...SLOW FADE TO THEME SONG ----------------------------------- PART 2 Jake: How has she been? Stacey: She’s been depressed. Jake: Well that was to be expected right? Especially after what she found out. Stacey: Yeah but she hasn’t left the house in three days. She hasn’t even showered or put on regular clothes. Jake: Stacey you’re overreacting. She’s not gonna stay like that forever. Stacey: I hate seeing her like that Jake. That’s not her. That’s not the Lindsay I raised. That’s not the Lindsay that came to Bay City determined to find you. Jake: Sounds like she’s gonna need professional help. Stacey: It sounds like she needs her father. Jake she needs you. Jake: Of course I will do whatever to help our daughter get through this, but I can’t help with any depression, and honestly I think Lindsay’s gonna snap out of it on her own. She’s a very strong willed girl. Stacey: I hope so. I truly hope so. Jake: Come here. Jake hugs Stacey. Jake: We’re gonna get through this. Where’s Lindsay now? Stacey: She’s home. Jake: I’ll go see her...okay? Stacey nods her head. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Lorna: Lindsay Winthrop’s your girlfriend? Gregory: Yeah. Lorna: Well I’m sure when Devin Lucas finds out he’ll back off. Gregory: She looks very comfortable with him. Lorna: Is that a bad thing? Gregory: She’s been pushing me away. Meanwhile, Devin Lucas talks to Lindsay and Charlie. Charlie: Uncle Devin as a matter of fact we were. Lindsay: Yep, the shopping was soooo therapeutic. You know this girl, my cuz, it’s like she’s my sister. She knew exactly what I needed. Devin Lucas: Well, does she know that you need an escort, too? Lindsay notices Gregory out of the corner of her right eye and it gets her attention. Gregory: I hope my girl let’s me bring her to Carl’s party. Charlie: Hey Gregory. Gregory immediately turns to Devin Lucas. Gregory: I’m Gregory Hudson...and you are? Devin Lucas: Devin Lucas Hutchins. The two exchange a firm handshake. Lindsay: Gregory, we were shopping for the party at the Cory’s tomorrow. Gregory: You don’t have to explain. Looks like you’re feeling better. Lindsay: I...I just went shopping with Charlie--- Gregory: Hit me up later okay. ------------------------------------------------------------ Cass: You’re leaving town? That’s great, but why now? Christy: I had to make sure that my child was okay. Frankie: Eric seems like a strong guy. Christy: I missed a lot of time with my son because of Douglas, and I just wanted to stick around and make sure that he was going to be fine. I’m not certain that he’s gonna wanna come with me when I leave. Frankie: Well I’m glad you made this decision. I’m sure wherever you go you’ll be able to start fresh without anyone judging you. Christy: I wonder how that even feels. Here I’m the killer who got a governor’s pardon. Cass: That shoe fits you well. Christy: I completely understand why you feel the way you do Cass. Cass: Don’t patronize me. Frankie: Cass. Listen, Christy whatever you decide I’ll support you. Christy: Thank you Mary Frances that means so much to me.
