BAY CITY CENTER Cass and Charlie walk and talk side by side. Cass: So what do you plan on doing? Charlie: I dunno dad. I'm just gonna sit around and do nothing. Cass: Charlie I'm serious. Cass stops and faces his daughter. Cass: You are going to have a hard life if you don't have an education. Charlie: Don't you think I know that? I've applied for courses at BCU. Cass: Okay that's a good start. You know your mother's back in town. Frankie walks up and taps Charlie on her shoulder. Frankie (eyes welling up): Do you wanna give your mother a hug? ------------------------------------------------------------------ MCKINNONS HOUSE Bridget is in her bedroom and Jake walks in and sits on the edge of it. Bridget joins him and he wraps his arm around her shoulder as she leans her head into his chest. Bridget: Dad? Jake: Yes baby. Bridget: Do you blame me? Jake: For what? No...no I don't. Bridget: Mom does. She thinks I killed Michele. Jake: It was a terrible accident. Bridget: I would never try to kill my sister. Jake: You don't have to explain anything to me. We all loved Michele, and we're gonna miss her. Bridget: You look at me differently don't you? Jake: What do you mean? Bridget: Because of what I did. I took vodka from Grandpa Reginald's cabinet. I kissed Cory just to piss off Michele. Jake: You didn't push her into the street. The police ruled it an accident. Everybody knows you didn't push Michele into the street. Bridget: What about the driver? Jake: It was your cousin Gregory. He couldn't get out of the way in time. Bridget: Is he okay? Jake: He's paralyzed from the waist down. Bridget: Look at everything that I've done dad. Jake: Baby girl you have to stop blaming yourself okay. Nobody is at fault here. Bridget: I wish mom would believe that. ----------------------------------------------------------- The living room is full of cards and flowers. Donna comforts Vicky. Vicky: This is the worst feeling in the world. Donna: I can't imagine what I'd do if I'd lost you or Marley. Vicky: Children are supposed to live longer than their parents, and now we're gonna have to bury her. Guess it was nice of all the kids at school to send all these flowers and well wishes for Michele. Donna: Michele was loved and adored by everyone. Vicky: I guess everybody except her own sister. Donna: That's not true. Bridget loved her, too, and I'm positive that she did not mean for any of this to happen. Vicky: And the road to hell... Donna: Deep down you know that, too. You're trying to find someone to blame, but Bridget isn't the right person. Vicky: I don't want to even look at her anymore. Donna: Victoria you can't keep this up. You need to be strong for Bridget. Vicky: And I will, but not while she's here. Donna: What are you talking about? Vicky: I want her to come live with you for a while. Donna: Sure. Of course I'll take her. ------------------------------------------------------------ COURT HOUSE LADIES' ROOM Rachel is freshening up when Iris walks in...and locks the door. Rachel sees Iris in the mirror. Iris: It's been a long time Rachel. ------------------------------------------------------------ Charlie reluctantly gives Frankie a hug, making an already awkward situation more awkward. Frankie: So...umm...when did you get back? Charlie: I suppose I could ask you the same question. Frankie: Well...it's good to see both of you. Charlie: Leaving so soon mom. Are you gonna stay away like you did before? Cass: Charlie--- Frankie: No, Cass, she has a right to be angry with me for staying away. Cass: She does not have the right to be disrespectful. Charlie: Are you serious right now dad? Mom chose to stay away for years, and now she thinks she can just pop up and pick up where we left off! It doesn't work like that! Charlie storms off. Cass calls for her but Charlie doesn't return. Cass: I'm sorry. I'll talk to her. Frankie: You don't have to. She's upset with me, and I don't blame her. Cass: Whether she's angry or not, she still needs her mother. Frankie: And I'm here. I always will be. Cass: You guys are gonna need to sit down and talk. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jake: Your mother is upset about Michele's death. Bridget: So am I. She was my sister. I loved her. Jake: Baby you don't have to tell me. We all are hurting. Bridget: How long is mom gonna be angry with me? Jake: I don't know. Your mom and were discussing something. We think it might be best for you to go live with Donna for a while. Bridget: Maybe you're right. Mom doesn't want me around anyway. Jake: Vicky loves you. She's just really upset right now. Bridget: You're the only one who's stood by me. Jake: I'm your champion, don't you ever forget that. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel: Iris? Iris: The one and only. Rachel: There must be something on your mind because you locked the door. Iris: Yes as a matter of fact there is. More of a...curiosity. Why didn't you testify against me? I thought you would be the biggest advocate of me staying in prison. Rachel: I have my reasons, none of which are your concern. Iris: I plan to enjoy my freedom. I'm not gonna mess it up. Rachel: And that is the only truthful thing that I've heard you say. Iris: For what it's worth, I didn't want Carl to be shot. Evan changed the bullets. Rachel: And you took the fall. How noble of you. Iris: I'm trying to make a peace offering. Rachel: I don't want it! Anything you have to give is tainted. Iris: You insist on keeping the animosity between us going. Rachel: I don't trust you Iris. I never will. Iris: Just make sure you let Amanda know that I've been released. Rachel: Amanda will find out in the papers. Iris: I look forward to interacting with my family again. Rachel gets up in Iris's face. Rachel: Is that a threat? Iris: You take it any way you want. Rachel: You hear me loud and clear. If you try to hurt any member of my family, you will answer to me. Iris: Do you mean Mac's family? My father's family? Why would I hurt any of them? Rachel: Because you can't be trusted. I will have my eagle eye on you...pussycat. ---------------------------------------------------END OF EPISODE 21-------------------------------------------

Thanks for commenting CarlD2. The heart to hearts are important in soaps in my opinion. It shows the bonds of family...and sets up future stories

That's why it's called Back To Another World. I'm going to try and take us back to the good soap that it was

Thank you guys for reading...and comments

AMANDA'S OFFICE Allen walks in and sees Amanda, who seems to be saddened. Allen: Amanda, what's wrong? Amanda (wiping her eyes): Nothing. Allen: You don't look fine at all. Come on, talk to me. Amanda: It's fine...really. We got work to do. Allen: You try to be so tough, just like your mom. Amanda: Try is the operative word. Allen: But there's someone underneath who likes to unwind and have fun. Amanda: Look there's nothing wrong with me, now go check on your people and make sure they're doing what they're supposed to do okay. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- HOSPITAL Donna and Marley wait in the waiting area. Marley: Have you heard from Vicky? Donna: Not since she told us about today. Marley: She's gonna need us Donna. Donna: I know. This is so hard for her, Jake, Bridget...for all of us. Marley: Right. Donna: Where's Tyrone? Marley: He had court today. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michele lies in her hospital room on life support and Reginald walks up to her, and sits beside her. Reginald: My sweet little great-granddaughter. This isn't fair. You had a choice of Columbia or Harvard. You know what, I bet you were going to choose Harvard, because your sister would have chosen Columbia. Columbia's in New York, and you're not all for that hustle and bustle like Bridget is. Your great grandfather has done some questionable things in his life, but one thing's for certain, I absolutely adore you. I would have done anything for you. I had no idea that Bridget would do what she did. I guess she's more like me. Reginald's eyes water and a couple of tears fall down his cheeks...as Vicky approaches the door unheard by Reginald. Reginald: You shouldn't be going anywhere. You got too much life ahead of you. This isn't right. All the things I've done, I should be where you are, and you have too many people that love you. In a very rare moment, Vicky comforts Reginald, who gets up from Michele's bedside. Jake, Donna, Marley, Bridget, and John all walk in. Reginald gets a phone call. He takes the call outside of the room and he is not pleased. He learns the Judge Parker fell ill and he will not preside over Iris's hearing. "This can't be!" he exclaims. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- COURTROOM Rachel walks in with Paulina. Paulina: Where's Amanda? Rachel: She's at the office. I told her to stay there and run things. They approach Cass at the front of the court. Cass: Are you ready? Rachel: As ready as I can be. Paulina: I can't believe they're considering letting her out after all she's done. Tyrone walks in with his briefcase and goes to the defense's table as the guards escort Iris to the table next to Tyrone. "All rise!" says the Balliff as Judge Davis takes her place. Judge Davis: This proceeding is to determine whether or not Iris Carrington should be released from prison...and why she shouldn't be released. Counselor Montgomery state your case for the defense. Tyrone: Your honor. I'm here to present that Iris Carrington is not a threat to society if she is released from prison. I have recommendations from the warden, that she has been a model citizen during her incarceration, and a letter from the Governor of Illinois and Texas. The balliff retrieves the documents and gives them to the judge. Tyrone as she looks them over. Tyrone: Before she was incarcerated your honor, she was not the person who shot Carl Hutchins. Her criminal record was for the most part clean aside from a few parking tickets. Based on the recommendations and her previous record, I petition the court for Iris Carrington's release. Nothing further your honor. Judge Davis: Counselor Winthrop. State your case why Iris Carrington should not be released. Cass: Your honor it's been well documented that Iris Carrington has tormented the Corys for quite some when she was a free woman. The conspiracy to commit murder not withstanding, she orchestrated a takeover attempt as the Chief, from her father's company, Cory Publishing. I have witnesses here who can testify what Iris has done to them. Rachel gets up and says she will not testify, much to Cass's and Paulina's unpleasant surprise. Paulina: Rachel are you crazy? Rachel: I know what I'm doing. Cass tell the judge I'm not testifying. Cass: Your honor. My witness has declined to testify against Iris. Judge Davis: Mrs. Hutchins, are you sure that you do not want to tell us why Ms. Carrington should remain incarcerated? Rachel: She's paid her penance. Judge Davis: Okay. Well based on today's proceedings, I hereby announce the release of Iris Carrington from incarceration. Ms. Carrington you are free to go. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amanda is in her office crying, and Allen catches her this time. Amanda: I'm sorry. Allen: Amanda I'm not gonna let you slink out of this one. Amanda (giving Allen the envelope she received): This. Allen: Who's Cameron Sinclair? Amanda: As of today, he's my ex-husband. That paper you just read says it. Allen: Wow. I'm sorry Amanda. Amanda: We've been separated for a couple of years, but there's such a finality to this. The divorce is final. Allen: I've never seen you like this. Amanda: Like what? Allen: Vulnerable. Amanda: If you've gone through a divorce then you might know how this feels. Allen: As a matter of fact I do. It's funny that you go through all that you go through to dissolve the marriage, but you still love them. Amanda: Do you love your ex-wife? Allen: I think a part of me always will, that's why I married her. Amanda: I thought Cameron was the love of my life. I made so many mistakes with other men. I thought I finally had found happiness with Cameron... Allen comes closer to Amanda. "If I got through it, you'll get through it, too. I'll help you." They embrace, face each other, and kiss. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOSPITAL The moment that the McKinnons, Loves and Hudsons have dreaded has arrived. Jake, Vicky, Bridget, Donna, Marley, Reginald, and John convene in Michele's hospital room. Michele is on life support. Jake: Hey kid. It's your dad. Vicky: Mom's here. Jake: I can't believe this. Vicky: This is goodbye. Jake and Vicky each lean in and kiss Michele on her forehead. Vicky gives Jake a CD and he puts it on. "We're gonna play your favorite song when you were a kid." says Vicky. Her favorite song is Whitney Houston's "The Greatest Love of All." As the song plays, Bridget, Donna, and Marley say their goodbyes. John says goodbye to his brother's granddaughter. As the song ends, Jake and Vicky nod at John, giving him the okay to shut off the life support, and he does so, and Michele is officially declared dead.

CASS'S OFFICE Rachel walks in and confers with Cass. Rachel: I got your text. Cass: Thanks for coming. Rachel: So what's the plan? Anything I can do? Cass: You can testify against Iris. Show the judge why she shouldn't be released. Rachel: That's easy. She tried to have Carl killed on our wedding day. Cass: You have to be careful Rachel. Rachel: Of what? Cass: With Carl not being in the picture any more, that may not be good enough. ----------------------------------------------------- BAY CITY CENTER Tyrone is on his laptop at a table and Grant joins him. Grant: Waiting for someone? Tyrone: No. Grant (sitting down): Is everything prepared? Tyrone: Pretty much. Grant: Good. This is going to go a long way. I am going to be running for Mayor in the coming weeks, and I'll be looking to appoint a new District Attorney. If you win this case it might be you. Tyrone: You're supposed to put in a good word for me now. Grant: I don't have to do that Mr. Montgomery. If you get Iris released from prison tomorrow, your name will be popular all on its own. Tyrone: You just make sure you make that phone call. Grant: Of course I will...if Iris gets out. Tyrone: I haven't lost a case bruh. I don't plan on losing this one. Grant: As I said it will help your career. Tyrone: I gotta ask you something though. Given everything that Iris has done to the Corys, how do you think Paulina is gonna react when she finds out you got the Governor to endorse Iris's release? Grant: She's not going to react because she's not going to find out. Unbeknownst to the both of them, ALLEN is about a couple of tables behind Tyrone, and was able to hear their conversation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ REGINALD'S SUITE Reginald is on his cell phone. Reginald: Gooood afternoon. Judge Parker, you're presiding over the hearing tomorrow for Iris's release. Yes you just make sure she gets out, then you'll get your reward. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rachel: You can't be serious. After all that woman has tried to do to our family. Cass: Granted, she's made your lives miserable when she was around. Rachel: She needs to stay in prison. Cass: Rachel I don't disagree with you, but trying to take over a company does make someone a danger to society. Rachel: What about consipiracy to commit murder? Doesn't that make her dangerous? Cass: That would make anyone dangerous, but you've got to understand, she doesn't have a long criminal history where she's tried to kill people. It was only Carl. Most of her vendetta was against you and Mac's other children. Rachel: Right. If you let her out of jail she's gonna come after my family. Cass: That's why you have to come to the hearing tomorrow. Gather any evidence you may have that could sway the judge to keep Iris in prison, and we can review it. Rachel: What am I gonna come up with between tonight and tomorrow? Cass: Not sure, but you and Amanda better start digging. I'll work on my end, too. Rachel: Don't you think this is kind of sudden? I mean, this hearing just got sprung on us. Cass: It does seem quick. Rachel: I wouldn't be surprised if Iris had something to do with it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REGINALD'S SUITE Reginald and Allen are there conversing. Allen: You'll never guess what I heard down at the Center. Reginald: And what would that be? Allen: Grant got the Governor to write a letter of recommendation to release Iris from prison. Reginald: I've all but ensured that. Allen: How? Reginald: Not to worry, you just keep doing what you're doing. Allen: Oh I am. All the people that we signed are gonna pull out, and Cory Publishing is gonna buy out all of the contracts instead of suing them. Reginald: Lawsuits wouldn't be very cost effective for them. Allen: Neither would the buyouts, but they don't have a choice, and after they're done buying out the contracts, they will be in more financial dire straits than they are now. Reginald: And when they're ready to sell, we will swoop in and purchase, and Cory Publishing will be mine...for the time being. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tyrone: Well I'm not gonna tell her okay, but secrets have a way of coming to the surface. Grant: Not this one. I'm making good progress with her. She's a good person, and I'd be a fool to mess that up. Tyrone: You've played with fire before. Grant: I love Paulina, and I'm not going to lose her. "You hope." says Tyrone, as he packs his briefcase and leaves. ----------------------------------------------END OF EPISODE 19------------------------------------------------

MCKINNONS HOUSE Jake wakes up and Vicky is not next to him. He quickly gets up and calls out to her. "Vicky!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ He finally finds Vicky in Michele's bedroom. She's sitting at Michele's desk holding her college acceptance letters, looking straight ahead. Her eyes are watery because she has been crying. All Jake can do is watch her from the door. Vicky (feeling his presence): She looked so pretty in her prom dress. So happy. Jake: She did. Vicky: She had a choice of going to Columbia or Harvard. She had such a bright future. Bridget walks up to the door and and Jake puts his arm around Bridget's right shoulder. Vicky feels Bridget's presence also and her mood changes. Vicky: And she took it away. Vicky gets up and faces them. Vicky: Are you happy now Bridget? Bridget (crying): Of course not I never thought.... Vicky (interrupting Bridget): That's right, you never thought...and it because of that, Michele is brain dead. Jake: Vicky--- Vicky: Face the truth Jake. One of our daughters is responsible for killing the other. Jake: Bridget let me talk to your mother alone please. Bridget: Dad I didn't mean for this happen. Jake: I know baby. I just want to speak to your mom. Jake kisses Bridget on her forehead and Jake closes the door. Jake: Look I know you're hurting. I am, too, but I am not going to let you keep blaming Bridget for Michele's condition. Vicky: So you're overlooking the fact that Bridget opened Michele's acceptance letter to Harvard. You also forgot about Bridget texting from Michele's phone. Jake: I didn't--- Vicky: And let's not forget that she stole a bottle of vodka from Reginald's liquor cabinet so she can get Michele's boyfriend drunk! As far as I'm concered she's responsible, and I want her out of this house. -------------------------------------------------------- HOSPITAL Greg is lying in his room unable to move his legs, and John walks in. John: How are you doing? Greg: Everything's clear now. I know what happened. John: The police contacted me. They told me that they've ruled it an accident. No charges are gonna be filed. Greg: I don't know how I should feel about that. It's because of me that my cousin is brain dead. John: Son you had a steroid rage. Greg: I feel horrible dad. Jake and Vicky lost a child because of me. I'll never forgive myself. John: Greg it was an accident. She stumbled onto the street and you tried to swerve out of the way. Greg: I should be where Michele is right now...not her. --------------------------------------------------------- BAY CITY CENTER Rachel and Paulina sip on their cups of cappucino. Paulina: Thanks for meeting me. Rachel: It's not a problem. Paulina: Dante told me what happened at the prom. I feel so horrible for Jake and Vicky. Rachel: It's quite tragic. They are devastated. I don't think it's quite hit Cory yet. Paulina: Dante he had a great time with Elizabeth. Rachel: I'm glad that the kids were able to experience that bliss, but somehow I don't think you wanted me to come here to talk about the children. Paulina: You're right. It's about Grant. Rachel: Grant? Paulina: He's in love with me. ---------------------------------------------------------- John: I understand your guilt, and in a way you should feel guilty, but you can't let it consume you. Greg: I stopped using them dad. I wasn't lying. John: I believe you son, now you've got to focus on getting better. Greg: Am I gonna be able to walk again? John: We don't know that. We're gonna get you on a physical therapy regimen. Greg: I wanna play football again dad. John: Son stop worrying about it. You will be fine. I've set you up with a physical therapist. Greg: I'm ready to begin. John: We gotta wait for the swelling to go down. --------------------------------------------------------- Rachel: He is? Paulina: He's been there for us since Joe was killed. He bought a designer tux for Dante, and he set up a limo for Dante to go to the prom in. Rachel: Wow. He's gone all out. Definitely sounds like he's in love with you. I guess the question would be...how do you feel? Paulina: It's scary. Rachel: So...you have feelings for Grant? Paulina: Yes I do, but I feel I'm betraying Joe, and you know Grant's past and the things he's done. Rachel: People told me the same thing about Carl. I had the same doubts. After all, he had done everything in his power to terrorize Mac and me. Everyone was against it you know that. In the beginning I didn't want to betray Mac, but I couldn't deny it anymore. I had fallen in love with Carl. We had a great marriage and two wonderful children. Paulina: Wow. I never thought of it like that. It was you and against the world wasn't it? Rachel: It sure seemed that way didn't it? They both chuckle. Rachel: If you love him, go for it. Paulina: I think I do. Rachel: Joe would want you to move on, just like Mac wanted me to. Paulina: You always know the right thing to say. Rachel: You're like a daughter to me Paulina. Rachel gets a text and reads and her mood changes. Paulina: Rachel you look concerned what is it? Rachel: It's a text from Cass. There's gonna be a hearing for Iris's release this week. ------------------------------------------------------------ Jake: Bridget lives here. Vicky: I can't stand to look at her. Jake: Why? Because she reminds you of you! Vicky slaps Jake and she begins to cry. Vicky: This isn't fair. I want my baby back. Jake embraces his wife. Jake: I want her back, too. Vicky: My little girl. My sweet, intelligent girl. Jake: She'll always be a part of us. Vicky: I guess it's...time to call Uncle John. ------------------------------------------------------------END OF EPISODE 18 D-DAY----------------------------------------

Amanda: I got the Head Editor's file this morning. Allen: What about it? Amanda: The Editors are concerned that the content these people are writing about is not going to sell books. Allen: Can they tell the people to change it? Amanda: If these people that we signed don't pan out, the company is gonna be in big trouble. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CORYS LIVING ROOM Elizabeth comes downstairs, notices Mitch sleeping on the couch, and screams "Fire!", and Mitch jumps up.

AT BAY CITY GENERAL HOSPITAL WAITING AREA.... Vicky unleashes her anger at Bridget, as Marley, Tyrone, and Donna arrive. Bridget is in shock and in tears... Vicky: You did this! You pushed Michele out into the street! You did this to your own sister! Donna quickly tends to Vicky... Donna: Victoria let's go somewhere and talk okay. Vicky: Bridget tried to kill Michele. Donna (escorting Vicky out of the waiting room): Let's go. Reginald accosts Jake. Reginald: How can you let her accuse Bridget of trying to kill Michele? Jake: Your parenting days are over Reg. Let Vicky and I handle our kids. Reginald: Well it looks like you need the help because it doesn't look like you're doing a great job of it. Marley: Jake what happened? Reginald: Michele is brain dead, thanks to their lack of parenting. Jake goes to attack Reginald and Tyrone restrains him. Tyrone: I think you need to get outta here Reggie. Reginald: Gladly. Marley (hugging Jake): Oh my God Jake I'm so sorry. ------------------------------------------------------ Rachel, Mitch, and Felicia arrive and tend to Cory and Elizabeth... Rachel: How are you two? Cory: My head hurts. Elizabeth: It's been one crazy night. Rachel and Felicia walk over to Jake and Bridget. Rachel: Jake? What happened? Jake: Michele's....she was hit by a car. Felicia: Oh my God. Is she gonna be alright? Jake (watery eyed): No... Meanwhile, Mitch tends to Cory and Elizabeth. Mitch: What did you go on...a bender? Elizabeth: Bridget spiked his punch with vodka. Mitch: Are you serious? Cory: Come on lay off of her. She's upset about her sister. Elizabeth: Lay off? Michele is brain dead because of Bridget. She caused this whole mess! Cory: Brain dead? What are you talking about? Mitch: I think we probably should go. Cory: No I wanna stay. Mitch: I think it's best we go home. Mitch walks over to Rachel. Mitch: Jake I'm so sorry about Michele. Jake: Thank you. Mitch: Rachel are you staying? Rachel: Umm Jake do you need anything? Jake: We'll be fine here. Thanks Rachel. Rachel: Let's get the kids home. Mitch turns to Felicia. Mitch: Honey I'll be home after we drop the kids off. Felicia is a little caught off guard... Felicia: Umm...okay....sure. I'll see you when you get home. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Donna tries to comfort Vicky outside the chapel. Vicky: This wasn't supposed to happen Donna. How did it happen? Donna: I don't know honey. It just seems like an unfortunate accident. Vicky: I saw Bridget and Michele fighting on the sidewalk, and before Jake and I could stop the fight, it looked like Bridget pushed her out in front an oncoming car. Donna: Victoria, I don't believe that for a second. Vicky: Bridget has been plotting against Michele for some time now. Donna: What? Vicky: She tried to hide Michele's acceptance letter from Harvard, and she stole a bottle of vodka from Reginald's liquor cabinet, and got Cory Hutchins drunk. Michele's boyfriend. Donna: Are you trying to say Bridget tried to kill Michele? That's a serious accusation. I just don't believe that Bridget tried to do that. Vicky: I'm starting to. Donna: You're angry and upset, understandably, but to accuse Bridget of killing her own sister is a bit much. Felicia walks up to them and Vicky gets up to face her. Vicky: Are you here to gloat? Felicia: Of course not. Vicky: I know what you're going to say. This is payback for what I did to your niece. Felicia: I would never wish this on anyone. You have my condolences. Donna: Thank you so much Felicia. We both thank you. Felicia: John is waiting for you in the waiting area. --------------------------------------------------- Vicky approaches John, Jake, and Bridget, along with Tyrone and Marley. John: Jake, Vicky. Have you decided? Vicky: No. Michele's gonna recover! Do not remove that respirator! Jake: We'll talk about it at home. Vicky: There's no discussion Jake. Michele is gonna recover. Everyone looks at Vicky and realizes she is in denial. -------------------------------------------------END OF EPISODE 16 PROM NIGHT-----------------------------------------------

OUTSIDE IN FRONT OF BAY CITY HIGH SCHOOL.... A terrible car accident has occurred. Michele was struck by the car that Gregory was driving. The car has crashed into a wall a few feet from where Michele was hit. Jake and Vicky are tending to their daughter. "I'll call 9-1-1!" Reginald says as he and Bridget look on in horror....and John, who was following Gregory, runs up to Jake and Vicky. John: Oh my God. Vicky: John...what are you doing here? John: Gregory... John looks over and notices Gregory's car crashed into the wall, and John rushes over to his son, as the ambulance arrives. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CORYS HOUSE Mitch and Felicia arrive to see Rachel. Rachel: Come on in. Felicia: We just wanted to come and see you. Mitch: Cory and Elizabeth are at the prom. Rachel: I tell ya, I didn't know I could have babies when I got pregnant with my twins. Mitch: Life is full of surprises. Felicia: Well I didn't think that Mitch and I would ever get back together, but we did. Rachel: You two look very happy. Mitch: Yes, we are. Felicia: I thought we'd keep you some company since the kids are dancin' the night away. Rachel: You know you think are gonna stay those adorable little babies, but they grow up, and fast. Felicia: It was like that with Lorna. I remember holding her when she was so tiny. Rachel: This will be a night the kids will never forget. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MONTGOMERYS HOUSE Tyrone and Marley are lying together on their back porch. Marley: It's a beautiful night tonight isn't it. Tyrone: Starry sky... Marley: Hey...I owe you an apology. Tyrone: For what baby? Marley: I've been so distant lately. Dealing my own guilt...my therapist has really helped me. Tyrone: Are you sure Marley? Marley: What do you mean? Of course I am. Tyrone: I want you to get better. Yes I want to have mind blowing sex with my wife, but I will be here. I love you so much Marley. I'm not gonna leave you at your worst. Marley: I am getting better. For me, and for us. The mystery person is watching them from the bushes...and the person makes a sound. Tyrone jumps up and shields Marley. "Who's there?" he asks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOTEL ROOM Allen Lovett walks in with a briefcase and laptop, and unwinds. He sits down and connects his digital camera to his laptop....and downloads pictures of Tyrone and Marley, and Tyrone and Donna. "You got the life, don't you bro?" he says to himself. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CORYS HOUSE Mitch: I was the photographer at my prom. Felicia: The school photographer huh? Mitch: I had this dinky little camera. I'm glad they make things better now. Rachel: They better bring me pictures back from the prom, too. Mitch: I'm sure you'll savor the memories. Rachel: Yes I will. Mitch: I'm sure Matt had a great time at his prom. Rachel: Yes he did. Mac and I helped him get ready for all of that. Mitch: You and Mac did a great job with Matt. Felicia notices a look between them, and then Rachel's cell phone rings. Rachel: Elizabeth? Elizabeth: Mom come to the hospital. Rachel: Hospital? What happened? Elizabeth: A lot. I'll tell you when you get here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BAY CITY GENERAL HOSPITAL The McKinnons are there along with Reginald., Cory and Elizabeth...in the waiting room. Sharlene runs in. Elizabeth (giving Cory a bottled water): I got this for you. Cory: It doesn't have liquor in it does it? Elizabeth: I wouldn't do that to you. Drink it. I called mom. Cory: Why did you do that? Elizabeth: Because she's our mom, and she would kill us if she didn't find out from us. Cory: Since when did you become the good kid. Elizabeth: Since when did you let someone get u drunk? Bridget is standing next to Jake, and Elizabeth approaches her. Elizabeth: Why did you try to get my brother drunk? What kind of a person does that? Jake: Elizabeth--- Elizabeth: No you are despicable for giving my brother vodka, all because you wanted to get under your sister's skin. You're horrible! Jake: That's enough Elizabeth! She's feels bad enough. Elizabeth: You need to get control of your daughter, because she is all over the place. ---------------------------------------------------- Vicky and Reginald watch them. Reginald: Vicky...you may not want to hear this, but--- Vicky: What are you gonna say? Bridget's like me? Well this is not the time for that! Reginald: I'm concerned for her. If Michele doesn't make it.... Vicky: She's gonna make it! I'm not thinking negatively like you are! Michele's gonna pull through this. Reginald: How are you going to help Bridget after tonight? ---------------------------------------------------- Sharlene is in Gregory's hospital room Sharlene: WHat is going on with you? You could've been killed tonight! Gregory: I can't help it mom. I just get so angry and I can't control it. Mom's what's wrong with me? Sharlene: We're gonna have to get you some help. I don't know why you get so angry. Gregory: Dad took the door off of my bedroom, and I got real angry and drove off. Did I get in an accident? I don't even remember. Sharlene: Oh honey. Just rest...where's your father? Gregory: I don't know. Mom? Sharlene: Yes honey. Gregory: Why can't I move my legs? Sharlene realizes he may be paralyzed. Gregory (becoming afraid): I can't move my legs mom. ---------------------------------------------------- John approaches Jake, Vicky and Reginald. Vicky: John? How's my daughter? John is silent, as if to not know how to respond to his niece. Vicky: John! Tell me that you saved Michele! John: She suffered severe head trauma. Jake: But she's gonna be okay right? Reginald: I will call the best specialists to come help her. John: Reginald you can call the calvary. There will be nothing they can do. Vicky: No. No...no John you've got to save my daughter! John: Her body is fine, but there's no brain activity. Jake: What are you telling us? John: She's brain dead, and she's not breathing on her own. Jake: You've got Michele on a respirator? John: It's the only that's keeping her alive. Jake: Oh my God! Reginald: There's got to be something you can do to save her! John: Reginald she's brain dead. There's nothing else we can do. Jake, Vicky, you give us the word, and we'll shut the machine off. Vicky (crying): Oh no! No! No! Not my baby! Vicky turns her anger toward Bridget, who is also distraught, while Tyrone, Marley, and Donna arrive. Vicky: You did this! You pushed Michele out into the street! You might as well have killed your own sister! ----------------------------------------------END OF EPISODE 15---------------------------------------------------

Roxanne is a schemer huh?. I like that you are building the mystery woman up slowly, and her obsession with Phyllis Newman....Gloria and Keemo are about to get it in huh...he's quite the charmer...

THanks for your comments juniorz and I am anxiously awaiting RETURN TO SANTA BARBARA.....

MCKINNONS HOUSE Vicky is cuddled up with Jake on the couch, eating popcorn, watching a movie. Vicky: I can't stop thinking about the girls. How they looked going out the door. Jake: Seems like yesterday that Bridget was playing with dolls. Vicky: And Michele was reading the newspaper at four. Jake: Come on come on I'm trying to hear this part. Vicky: Jake, I'm having a moment about our daughters. They're at that prom. Michele's with Cory, and who knows what Bridget's up to. Jake: You know how to ruin a perfectly good film. Vicky: Jake I'm serious. It's not that I don't love Bridget. I do. Jake: But you always think the worst of her. Vicky: No that's not it, but given the things that she's done lately, you've gotta be concerned. Jake: You say she opened Michele's acceptance letter. It could've been an honest mistake. Vicky: And I caught her texting someone from Michele's cell phone. Jake: She's a teenage girl. Vicky: This must be payback for what I've done in the past. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- HUDSONS HOUSE Gregory walks up to his bedroom, and John has just finished taking the last hinge off the door, and removes the door. Gregory: Dad what are you doing? John: What does it look like I'm doing? Gregory: You're invading my privacy. John: And you will get it back, when you show me that I can trust you. Gregory: Is it because of what I did the other day? John: You guessed it buddy. Gregory: I'm not using that stuff anymore. John: Well I'm not convinced. Gregory: Dad this is a little much don't you think? John: It's perfect. I need to see evidence that you're not shooting up those steroids anymore. Gregory: Well I stopped okay! John: It's not gonna be removed from your system for a while. Gregory: This is not fair! John: As long as you live in this house, you'll abide by my and your mother's rules! Gregory starts to have another steroid induced rage, and starts screaming. Gregory: Maybe I need to move out of here! Gregory runs downstairs, and out of the door. John futily yells for him to come back, but he gets into his car and drives off. John nervously mutters to himself that he's in no condition to drive, gets in his car, and tries to tail him. -------------------------------------------------------------------- BAY CITY HIGH SCHOOL Cory and Michele are slow dancing, and all the kids are drinking punch. Bridget sees them from a short distance, pours a cup, and spikes it with vodka. Michele: I'm gonna go to the ladies' room for a second. Cory: Why? You look beautiful already. Michele: I'll be back. Michele walks away, Cory goes and sits at his table. Bridget seizes the opportunity and walks up to Cory. Bridget: Hey Cory. Some punch? Cory: Yeah thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Jake: Vicky you need to stop beating yourself over that. Vicky: I have for the most part, but Bridget reminds me of that young girl who schemed to take Jamie from Lisa. Jake: You are not her anymore. You're a wife and a good mother. I mean you weren't this worried about Steven and Kirkland when they were living with us. Vicky: They were good kids I suppose. They both want to be like their fathers. Steven's a doctor, and Kirk is studying political science. Jake: For Kirk's sake, let's hope that doesn't happen. Vicky: I support whatever Kirkland wants to do. Jake: I think you'll be sick if he ends up like Grant. Vicky: You might be right. Someone knocks on the door. Jake goes to get the door asking who that could be...it's Reginald. Jake: What the hell are you doing here? Reginald: Can I come in please? Vicky joins Jake at the door. Vicky: Reginald what do you want? You look a little worried. Reginald: I am. You've got to get Bridget. Jake: What about her? Reginald: She took a bottle of liquor out of my cabinet. Vicky starts to worry, but Jake refutes that accusation. Jake: How dare you accuse my daughter of stealing? Reginald: I adore my greatgranddaugters. I hope to God I'm wrong. Jake: Bridget didn't take anything from you! Vicky is on the phone with Bridget. Vicky: Bridget can you hear me? Bridget: Mom!? Vicky: Calling to check on you! Cory (slurring): Hi Ms. Kinnon!! Vicky: That sounded like Cory. Has he been drinking? Bridget realizes this, rustles paper in her phone receiver, and pretends that she's losing signal and hangs up. Vicky calls out to Bridget to no avail. Vicky: We gotta go to the school. Jake: What? Vicky: We have to go now Jake! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While some pop music plays in the background at the prom... Bridget: How are you feeling? Cory (slurring): I feel great. You're so pretty. Bridget: I am? Cory: How many of these have I had? Bridget: Three. Cory: You're so smart. You're going to...you're going to Cumbia. Bridget: Columbia. Cory: Yeah that. Your dress is blue. What happened to it? Bridget: I spilled something on it. Cory: Your dress was supposed to match my bowtie Michele. You're still beautiful. Cory leans in and kisses Bridget, whom he thinks is Michele because he's drunk. They both look up and Michele is standing right over them, devastated. Michele: What are you doing? Bridget? Cory: Michele. It's you. Wait? I thought... Michele: You thought wrong Cory. I thought you loved me. Cory (stands up): I do. I'm....I'm sorry. I thought... Michele: You're drunk! What's going on? Michele sees the water bottle on the table, and grabs it before Bridget can take it from her. She opens it and smells the vodka. Michele: No. You got drunk. Cory: It's just punch. Bridget gave it to me. Michele: Bridget didn't do this... Michele flashes back to when Vicky told her that Bridget opened her first Harvard acceptance letter. Michele: Did you open the letter? Bridget: What are you talking about? Michele: My first acceptance letter from Harvard. Did you open it? Bridget: Yes! I did! You're happy now? You and mom must work for the same firm. Michele: Why? Bridget: Because they love you more than me! You're smart. You've got a boyfriend. What do I have? Michele: My God you're jealous! That's why you were kissing my boyfriend! Bridget: Now do I have your attention? Jake, Vicky and Reginald rush in and makes a beeline to the teens. Vicky sees Cory slouched on the table. Vicky: Bridget what have you done? Bridget: Mom what are you talking about? Vicky: We know. Reginald: You took the liquor from my cabinet. Jake is shocked, and so is Michele, and Bridget runs out in shame to the front of the school, and Michele and the others follow. -------------------------------------------------- Bridget and Michele are on the sidewalk. Michele: Wait we're not finished! Bridget: See how mom and Grandpa Reginald accused me. Michele: You planned all of this didn't you? Bridget: What? Michele: You stole the liquor from Grandpa Reginald. You planned to get Cory drunk so you can steal him from me? Bridget: You're crazy! Michele: And you're a bitch! The two start fighting, and as Jake, Vicky, and Reginald rush down the stairs to break it up, Michele stumbles onto the street, and is struck by an oncoming car....a car that is being driven by Gregory. After hitting Michele, the car swerves and crashes into the wall. Jake and Vicky rush out to the street and tend to a badly injured Michele. -------------------------------------------------------END OF EPISODE 14---------------------------------------------

I was actually thinking about that Juniorz...and I was gonna come up with a wishlist. Most of them were their original portrayers (and Victoria WYndham)...the trouble is the teens casting.....

This is a night that will change many lives
