    PART 1
    MONTICELLO POLICE STATION
    Allen has just discovered KC, his daughter. Toni and Etta Mae are with them. Allen slowly walks up to her, seemingly not knowing how to react to seeing K.C. for the first time.
    Allen: My God. It’s really you. My daughter?
    K.C. backs away.
    K.C.: I don’t...know you.
    Etta Mae intervenes…
    Etta Mae: You’re scaring her.
    Allen: We were robbed of all those years together. Toni and Etta Mae did that.
    Etta Mae: This isn’t the place to talk about this. Why don’t we go home?
    Allen: Why? So you and Toni can figure out more ways to keep me from my daughter!
    Toni: KC you need to give your statement to Casey.
    K.C.: Will you all stop it? I’m not a toy in your sandbox!
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Meanwhile, Jack and Casey discuss Reginald.
    Jack: This isn’t happening right now. He murdered Evan Frame; kidnapped Bridget McKinnon and K.C. Burrell, and you mean to tell me he’s gonna get away with it?
    Casey: Reginald and his accomplice Margaret are citizens of Tanquir, so all we can do is have them deported.
    Cecile interrupts.
    Cecile: That’s correct gentlemen. So it’s time for you to release my clients into my custody.
    Jack and Casey look at Cecile, knowing that they have no choice but to comply.
    Casey: You will get a police escort to the airport.
    Cecile: The flight plan has been filed, and I can assure you that Reginald and Margaret will be flown to Tanquir.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    WINTHROPS HOUSE - Cass walks into the living room and sees Frankie.
    Frankie: Everything is clean. All the trash is by the door, but you’re gonna have to take it out. I’m not taking out the trash.
    Cass: I will take out the garbage.
    Frankie: You don’t have to do it right now.
    Cass: What do you want me to do now?
    Frankie smiles.
    Frankie: Do I have to show you everything?
    They kiss passionately.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    AT THE MONTICELLO AIRPORT - Reginald, Cecile, and Margaret on Cecile’s jet.
    Margaret: I’m going to the ladies’ room.
    Cecile: I hear there’s a storm coming. Why is the Monticello Police outside?
    Reginald: Detective Casey Stoner is just making sure that I don’t try to give them the slip.
    Cecile: It’s just as well. It’ll give me the chance to…
    Cecile stops herself…
    Reginald: Do you want to finish your sentence or should I?
    Cecile: I was gonna go make sure that the Monticello Police did everything they were supposed to do.
    Reginald: Oh come on. We both know you’re going to Bay City to see your former love slave...Cass Winthrop.

    PART 2
    AT THE BLAKES, Mitch confronts Felicia about what Gregory said at the institution...
    Felicia: What are you talking about?
    Mitch: I heard you were running around town helping John find Michael.
    Felicia: Who did you hear that from?
    Mitch: That’s not important.
    Felicia: John is a friend.
    Mitch: Just friends?
    Felicia: I can’t believe you’re actually asking me that!
    Mitch: Are you having an affair with him?
    Felicia: No! I am not cheating on you with anyone, and I am hurt that you would even think that I am having an affair with John again. It happened over twenty years ago.
    Mitch: You didn’t even tell me about it.
    Felicia: Just like you failed to mention the fact that Sharlene was confiding in you about one of her alters.
    Mitch: That’s completely different. I’ve never had an affair with her.
    Felicia: So you’re throwing my past in my face!
    Felicia sighs with exasperation..
    Felicia: My god-daughter is getting married tomorrow. I need to rest.
    Mitch: Good idea.
    Mitch tries to follow Felicia into the bedroom but she stops and turns around.
    Felicia: You can sleep on the couch tonight. The blankets are in the linen closet.
    She then slams the bedroom door.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Cass is holding Frankie in bed after having made love.
    Cass: Wow. This time tomorrow, Charlie will be married.
    Frankie: I’m still a little surprised that you gave your blessing.
    Cass: I guess I felt better about it after...
    Frankie: You can say it.
    Cass: Charlie’s safety and well being are my only concerns.
    Frankie: Mine, too. I thought Christy had changed, but the judge didn’t see it that way, but it shouldn’t come between us. I’ve always loved you Cass. I always will.
    They kiss, and then Frankie reminds him of something.
    Frankie: This would be a good time for…
    Cass: The trash.
    Frankie: Yeah you don’t want it smelling up the living room.
    Cass: You’re...you’re…
    Frankie: Right?
    Cass: Yeah yeah you’re right.
    Cass gets up and puts his robe on. He grabs the trash by the front door, and opens it, and his eyes widen as he is shocked by what he sees.
    Cass: Cecile? What the hell are you doing here at this hour?
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    AT TONI’S APARTMENT - Toni, K.C. and Etta Mae walk in. K.C is quiet.
    Etta Mae: Keneisha aren’t you gonna say something?
    K.C.: What do you want me to say? That I understand why you kept me from my father all my life? Sorry I can’t wrap my head around that.
    Toni: You may not understand right now, but I do need you to try. The situation was impossible.
    K.C.: You had to know that he was looking for me. He was looking for me right?
    Etta Mae and Toni look at each other.
    Etta Mae: We told him that you were dead.
    K.C.: Oh it gets better.
    Etta Mae: He left. It wasn’t like he was going to the military. He had no excuse leaving Toni pregnant!
    K.C.: So you told him that I was dead.
    Toni: We told him that I lost the baby.
    K.C.: Why did he leave?
    Toni: He went looking for his mother.
    K.C.: I guess she would be my grandmother right?
    Toni: I couldn’t raise you by myself. I was in school.
    Etta Mae: That’s when I stepped in. Toni needed to finish school, so I took care of you.
    Toni: We didn’t want to confuse you.
    Etta Mae: So we let you think that Toni was your sister.
    Toni: I was devastated when he left. He didn’t even come back. Allen didn’t, and still doesn’t, deserve to be your father.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    PLANE - The rain is beating up against the plane with claps of thunder in between as Reginald is being served a plate of food.
    Reginald: This isn’t poisoned is it?
    The servant looks at him puzzled by his statement.
    Reginald: Never mind.
    The servant walks away.
    Reginald: I wish this storm would pass so we can get the hell out of here.
    Allen walks onto the aircraft.
    Allen: I second that.
    Reginald: Well well. If it isn’t my grandson. Did you come to see me off?
    Allen: I wanna know why you didn’t tell me about my daughter.
    Donna and Michael join Allen.
    Michael: You’re not gonna get a straight answer from him Allen. Why don’t we just pound it out of him?
    Reginald laughs.
    Reginald: Look at this. Our mini-family reunion.

    KIRKLAND/CHARLIE
    Kirkland is on his landline phone in his suite with Charlie, who is at Stacey’s apartment on her cell phone. Kirkland is lying down with the phone to his left ear, looking up at the ceiling, while Charlie is lying down on Stacey’s couch also looking up at the ceiling.
    Kirkland: I can’t believe this is actually happening.
    Charlie: I can’t either. After everything we went through to get here. This time tomorrow we’re going to be married.
    Kirkland: And we’ll be on our way to our honeymoon. Are you sure you wanna spend the rest of your life with me?
    Charlie: Why do you ask that?
    Kirkland: After all, I’m Grant Harrison’s son.
    Charlie: Well that’s a deal breaker. Guess we can’t get married.
    Kirkland: Don’t kid like that.
    Charlie: Come on babe. You’re nothing like your father.
    Kirkland: Sometimes I wonder how much like my dad I really am.
    --------------------------
    GRANT/CHRISTY
    Grant walks into his living room and Christy is sitting on the couch wearing a sweatsuit with her feet up on the coffee table holding a glass of wine.
    Grant: Put your feet down! That table is an antique.
    Christy: Wow. Sorry.
    As she is about to put her glass on the table, Grant gives her a coaster to put the glass on.
    Christy: My God. Take the broomstick out of your ass.
    Grant: If you’re going to live in my house you’re gonna follow my rules.
    Christy: What am I? Sixteen? Stop treating me like a lazy teenager. Need I remind you that I’m helping you get Paulina back. I would appreciate some gratitude.
    Grant: So why hasn’t she come running to my door yet?
    Christy: These things take time. You need to be patient.
    -----------------------
    JACK/PAULINA
    At Bay City Center, Paulina is sitting at a table with a couple of shopping bags on the ground while she answers her cell phone.
    Paulina: Hey honey what’s going on? I’m fine, just went shopping for Kirkland’s wedding tomorrow. A little retail therapy you know? When are you coming to visit? We’d love to see you. Oh Remy I’m not lonely, I have family here. We’ve been over this, and I know I’m not being unfaithful to Joe if I meet someone else.
    Paulina looks up and there is Jack with a cup of coffee.
    Paulina: Honey I gotta go I’ll speak to you later love you.
    Jack: Anybody sitting here?
    Paulina: No...no sit down.
    Jack: Nice to see a friendly face.
    Paulina: You look like you just lost your best friend or something.
    Jack: Just hard at work.
    Paulina: Long evening?
    Jack: And unsuccessful.
    Paulina: What do you mean?
    Jack: Reginald Love is gonna get away with his crimes again.
    --------
    DONNA/REGINALD/MICHAEL/ALLEN
    On Cecile’s plane, Donna, Michael and Allen have confronted Reginald, who is waiting to be taken to Tanquir.
    Michael: You’re not gonna get a straight answer from Reginald. Why don’t we just pound it out of him?
    Reginald: What the hell do you think you’re gonna do? You’re always gonna be the stable boy that my daughter made the terrible mistake of marrying.
    Michael: You better not show your ugly face in Bay City again.
    Allen: Because you’ll be leaving in a body bag.
    Reginald: Donna do you feel the same way?
    Donna: Allen and Michael I want you two to leave.
    Michael: I’m not leaving you alone with…
    Donna: No. I wanna have a word with my father.
    Allen: We’ll be right outside.
    Donna: I’ll be fine, nephew. This has been long overdue, besides, nobody’s going anywhere until Cecile gets back.
    -----
    CECILE/CASS
    At Cass’s house, Cecile is outside the front door with Cass inside, shocked at Cecile’s arrival.
    Cecile: Aren’t you gonna let me in? It’s gettin’ windy out.
    Cass: Not if it’s gonna blow you away.
    Cecile walks in anyway and Cass shuts the door behind her.
    Cecile: Well what I have to tell you is too important for me to just turn back around and leave.
    Cass: Put all your love potions on the table.
    Cecile: Oooh this is way more lasting than a concoction. You really need to hear this.
    CAMERA PAN ON CASS...SLOW FADE TO THEME SONG

    -----------------------PART 2-----------------------
    Jack: You know I can’t go into details about police business, but we had him. We had him and we couldn’t hold him. He slipped right through our fingers, just like James Stenbeck used to.
    Paulina: I heard about him, especially what he did to Carly years ago.
    Jack: Turning her old was just the start. Stenbeck was a worldwide criminal who mostly got away with all the crap he did.
    Paulina: Well they all pay one way or the other.
    Jack: Enough about me. How are you?
    Paulina: Well...I had a breakthrough type of talk with Kirkland the other night.
    Jack: Were you and he not speaking or something?
    Paulina: He came to the house, and he brought up the accident that happened sixteen years ago. I...I was high and I got behind the wheel...and I hit him. I nearly killed him.
    Jack: Did he hate you for it?
    Paulina: Not at all. In fact it was just the opposite.
    Jack: Wow.
    Paulina: You see if I hadn’t hit him, the doctors would never have found the aneurysm that was in his brain. So he thanked me for saving his life. He says if I didn’t hit him, he wouldn’t be here to marry Charlie tomorrow. He actually invited me to the wedding.
    Jack: Oh. Who are you going with?
    Paulina: Nobody.
    Jack: I’m not busy. I’ll go with you.
    Paulina: Wow..um...maybe that’s not a good idea. I don’t wanna cause any more trouble between you and Carly.
    Jack: Paulina I will pick you up at eleven.
    Paulina: Um...okay.
    -------
    Charlie: You’ve changed a lot since you came back home.
    Kirkland: So you’re saying that I was like my father.
    Charlie: You were angry with your dad when you returned to Bay City, and you forgave him.
    Kirkland: I have you to thank for that. You helped me to be a better man.
    Charlie: I love you so much. There’s no doubt in my mind that I wanna marry you.
    Kirkland sits up and sees a text on his cell phone from Scott Granger that says “I’m coming to Bay City.”
    Kirkland: You really have no idea how much you’ve changed my life.
    Charlie: We’ve overcome a lot of obstacles to get here. My dad being one of them.
    Kirkland: He was dead set against our engagement.
    Charlie: But old stubborn Cass Winthrop came around eventually.
    -------------
    Cass: Oh you’re gonna apologize for everything you’ve done.
    Cecile: For what? I haven’t done anything wrong. This is so right.
    Cecile gives Cass an envelope and Cass smells it.
    Cecile: Oh don’t be silly. There’s no love potion in it.
    Cass finally opens it and is shocked at what the contents say.
    Cass: This...this isn’t possible.
    Cecile: Oh it’s not only possible, it’s the truth.
    Cass: No it’s not. It’s another one of your schemes.
    Cecile: Why would I fly all the way to Bay City for a lie?
    Cass just gives her a disbelieving look.
    Cecile: It can’t be for money. I’m the Queen of Tanquir, and no I don’t want you to be my love slave again, although the thought of that is pretty nice.
    Frankie walks in as she wraps and ties her robe.
    Frankie: Cass I heard voices. Is everything…Cecile?
    Cass: I said the same thing.
    Frankie: What are you doing here?
    Cass: This.
    Cass gives Frankie the paper that he took out of the envelope that Cecile gave him, and she reads it also. Frankie shakes her head in disbelief.
    Frankie: No...no this can’t be true. I had a DNA test run.
    Cecile: Behind Cass’s back no less.
    Frankie: If this is one of your hare-brained schemes, you can forget it.
    Cecile: What you found, Frankie, was a rigged test result, thanks to Reginald Love. It looked like Maggie was Sandy Cory’s daughter.
    Frankie: I’m sure you had something to gain out of that.
    Cecile: I sure did. I needed Maggie’s trust fund money so I could become the queen again.
    Frankie: How could you keep this from Cass all these years? Why did you decide to tell him now? I bet it all has something to do with you right?
    Cecile: I don’t give a rat’s tush what you think about me Frankie. The important thing is, is that Cass knows the truth now. Maggie is Cass’s biological daughter. Not to mention she hates me now, and she changed her last name to Winthrop. Now if you’ll excuse me, my plane is waiting to take me back...to my kingdom.
    ----
    Grant: It isn’t happening fast enough?
    Christy: Boy this really has become an instant gratification society hasn’t it?
    Grant: Time for me to take things into my own hands.
    Christy: You really want Paulina to hate you huh? You can’t go to her with that evidence. You know food tastes better when it’s marinated, and cooked slowly.
    Grant: I’m talking about Paulina, not meal preparation.
    Meanwhile, Paulina sits on her couch and smiles as she flashes back to Jack telling her he’s going to pick her up at eleven to go to Kirkland’s wedding.
    Christy (Voiceover): The point is, you have to let things take their course. You can’t just go to her with guns-a-blazing. You have to let Paulina need you, and eventually she will.
    ----------------------
    Donna: You had that gun sent to me didn’t you? You had the Harbor Club burned down, too right? Why?
    Reginald: Because I had to remind you, dear daughter of mine, that I am your father, and you’ll never be rid of me. Although I have to say, you gave it your best effort.
    Donna: What kind of father are you? All you’ve ever done was try to control our lives. Mine, Nicole’s and Peter’s.
    Reginald: Believe it or not, everything I’ve done for you is out of love. Michael was, and is, still wrong for you. Nicole got pregnant when she was sixteen, and Peter needed to learn how to be a man. I had to step in as their parent.
    Donna: And you ruined our lives. You tried to stop my wedding to Michael at the courthouse; Nicole turned to drugs after you made her think that her baby was dead, and you kept her locked up in a mental institution after she killed Jason Frame; Peter spent a good part of his life trying to earn your favor, and you never gave it to him.
    Reginald: Everything I’ve done, and will continue to do, was, and will be, for the good of the family.
    Donna: What do you mean ‘will do’?
    Reginald: Wouldn’t you like to know? You’ll just have to wait and see.
    Cecile enters the plane with two uniformed men.
    Cecile: Please escort this woman off of the plane please.
    Donna: What is it?
    The men grab her and begin to take Donna off the plane.
    Donna: You’re not gonna get away with it daddy!
    Reginald watches and smiles.

    PART 1
    CAR
    Rachel, Carl and Michele are riding in the back. Michele is looking out the window, and Rachel looks at her with concern.
    Rachel: You’ve been very quiet.
    Carl: Understandably. She hasn’t seen her family in a very long time.
    Michele: I’m nervous.
    Rachel: Carl and I will be right there with you. Nothing could prepare them for what’s gonna happen today.
    -----------------
    THE MCKINNONS HOUSE
    Bridget is in the living room on her cell phone wearing a summery, light cranberry based, flowery spaghetti strap dress with matching shoes.
    Bridget: I forgot Charlie was your niece. I’ll see you at the wedding. Maybe we can sit together. Okay bye.
    Vicky walks into the living room from the kitchen wearing a sky blue fitted spaghetti strap dress with black, open-toed, high heeled shoes.
    Vicky: Who were you on the phone with?
    Bridget: Cory. Why?
    Jake comes downstairs in his black tuxedo.
    Jake: Bridget don’t start. You both look beautiful.
    Vicky: Thank you.
    Bridget: Thank you dad.
    There’s an awkward silence…
    Vicky: So do you want to ride with me to the wedding?
    Bridget: No. Steven’s coming to pick us up.
    -----------
    MENTAL INSTITUTION ROOM
    Steven, dressed in a black tuxedo, is with Sharlene.
    Steven: How are you?
    Sharlene: I’ve never been better.
    Steven: That’s great to hear.
    Sharlene: John was here. We talked, and I know what I have to do.
    Steven: Well…I’ve got some great news.
    -----------
    HUDSONS HOUSE
    Gregory is in the living room at the mirror. He is tying his tie that matches his navy blue suit, as John, dressed in a gray suit, matching light gray striped tie, and black shoes. walks downstairs with a clothing bag. Gregory notices the bag through the mirror, but continues to look in the mirror.
    Gregory: What’s in the bag?
    John: It’s a dress.
    Gregory (chuckling): Is it for Felicia, or are you planning on dressing in drag?
    John sighs to resist Gregory’s attempt to start to argument.
    John: No. It’s actually for your mother.
    ---------
    Sharlene: Wait a minute. Kirkland and Charlie are getting married today. That’s why you look so handsome.
    Steven: Is that what you think my news is?
    Sharlene: Well yeah. Give them my best.
    Steven: You’re going, too.
    Sharlene: What?
    Steven: We conferred and you are all integrated...for good this time, and you’ve just gotta sign your papers, and you will be officially released, and the charges will be dropped.
    Sharlene: Oh my God. I...I thought I was gonna miss the wedding. Oh goodness. What am I gonna wear?
    Steven: John is on his way with your dress. Come on did you think I was gonna let you miss this?
    Sharlene hugs her nephew with gratitude.
    ---------
    AT THE CHURCH…
    Frankie, Charlie , Stacey, and Lindsay are with Charlie in one of the rooms. Frankie, Lindsay and Stacey all have their light violet bridesmaid dresses on, and Charlie still has a terrycloth robe on. Frankie and Stacey are doing Charlie’s hair. Frankie is trying to hold Charlie’s hair up, while Stacey looks where to insert a pin.
    Frankie: We’re gonna get it just right.
    Stacey: Okay here we go. Right there.
    Stacey and Frankie look at Charlie to admire their work. Charlie looks in the mirror.
    Charlie: Can you put the bun a little to the right.
    Frankie: Oh Charlie come on this is about the tenth time we’ve tried.
    Stacey: Lindsay, we need Felicia. I know she can get this right.
    Lindsay: I got a text from her. She said she and Mitch are on their way.
    --------
    CAR-
    Mitch is driving Felicia to the church.
    Mitch: You haven’t said a word since we left the house.
    Felicia: Neither have you.
    Mitch: Are you still angry about me asking about John? Surely you understand why.
    Felicia: I really don’t wanna talk about it. This is Charlie and Kirkland’s day.
    Mitch: So when are we gonna talk about it? The tenth of never?
    Suddenly they hear a loud pop, and metal scraping. This causes Mitch to pull over.
    Felicia: What was that?
    Mitch: Judging from that sound, I think we got a flat tire.
    Felicia sighs with frustration.

    PART 2
    Steven: Are you excited?
    Sharlene: It’s bittersweet. I think my real recovery is still ongoing, but I couldn’t have gotten through the first part without you.
    Steven: I can’t take credit for that. You got yourself to this point.
    Sharlene: I finally figured out why Janice emerged.
    Steven: And she won’t again.
    Sharlene: Damned right.
    John knocks on the door and walks in with the clothing bag that has Sharlene’s dress in it.
    Steven: Hey uncle John.
    John: Steven. Sharlene.
    Sharlene: Hi John.
    Steven: Well I gotta go pick up Kirkland and Bridget.
    John: Do you think you’re gonna have enough time?
    Steven: Probably not. I’ll text Bridget. Hopefully mom and Jake are still there. She can ride with them.
    --------
    Vicky: Look Bridget I get that you’re mad as hell at me right now, but Steven’s gonna go pick up Kirkland, too. He might not have enough time to come get you, too.
    Jake: She can go in my car. You both can.
    Vicky smiles as Bridget gets Steven’s text. It says “Can she go with mom or Jake? I have to get Kirk, too. Not gonna have enough time.” Bridget sucks her teeth.
    Bridget: Yeah dad.
    Jake: The car’s out back.
    Bridget walks out and Vicky smiles pensively.
    Vicky: Thank you.
    Jake: I will put our differences aside for our children today. That’s all.
    Vicky: It’s a start isn’t it?
    Jake: A family ride or a wedding is not gonna change what’s wrong between us. I can’t just flip on a switch and decide to trust you again.
    Vicky: I’m not gonna explain my reasons for that anymore, and you’re not gonna keep us in limbo. It doesn’t seem like you want to try and work things out.
    Jake: Did you even listen to what I said. I will put our differences aside for the childrens’ sake.
    Vicky: Yes I heard that loud and clear, and after the wedding, you can start looking for a place to live. I want you out of this house.
    --------
    Mitch presses “end call” on his cell phone.
    Felicia: Sooo?
    Mitch: I’m gonna go out and change it myself.
    Felicia: You can’t do that. You’re gonna get your suit dirty.
    Mitch: Roadside Assistance said it would be at least an hour. You’ve gotta get there for Charlie.
    Felicia: Oh no. I can’t wait that long.
    Someone knocks on the driver’s side window. Mitch looks out and sees John.
    --------
    FIVE MINUTES LATER…
    John drives Sharlene and Felicia. Felicia is in the back seat.
    Felicia: That’s wonderful that you’ve been released today. Just in time for Charlie’s wedding.
    Sharlene: Why do you care? Are you concerned that you’re not gonna be able to see my husband anymore?
    Felicia: For the last time I’m not having an affair with John!
    Sharlene: I hear you two have been spending a lot of time together.
    Felicia: And you were doing the same with my husband!
    John: Quiet. This day is for Kirkland and Charlie.
    Felicia: Charlie is my God-daughter.
    Sharlene: And Charlie is my niece! My flesh and blood!
    John: It doesn’t matter. We all love them and you two need to stop this arguing now!

    Jake and Vicky are in the front seat.
    Jake: What’s taking Bridget so long?
    Vicky: A girl needs her lip gloss. Hope she can find it in that room of hers.
    ------
    Bridget is in her bedroom getting her lip gloss off of her dresser, and then as she walks downstairs, she is seemingly stopped right in her tracks by a feeling.
    Bridget: What was that?
    ------
    Rachel, Carl and Michele are the front door of the McKinnons house. Michele goes to a row of five flower pots, and gets a key out of it the middle pot.
    Michele: I remember where the spare key is.
    She takes a deep breath, and looks back at Carl and Rachel.
    Michele: Here it goes.
    Michele inserts the key into the keyhole and turns it…
    -----
    Stacey, Lindsay, and Frankie are all standing next to each other.
    Stacey: Well there she is. We finally got her hair right.
    Lindsay: She looks like she’s ready.
    Frankie: You look awesome. Mama would have been proud.
    Frankie smiles proudly as she puts the white matching head piece on Charlie, who is wearing Emma’s white tailored wedding dress.

    Someone knocks on the door, and Lindsay opens it.
    Lindsay: Uncle Cass.
    Cass: Hey there.
    Frankie: Hey honey.
    Cass turns his attention to Charlie.
    Cass: Oh my goodness. Do I really have to give you away?
    Charlie: I only got one dad, so yes you do.
    Stacey: Lindsay and I are gonna go.
    Cass takes a deep breath after Stacey and Lindsay leave.
    Cass: It’s almost time kid. We’re just waiting for Kirkland.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    KIRKLAND’S SUITE
    Kirkland has his pants on, but is barechested when he flashes back to the text he got from Scott Granger, Jr. stating that Scott was coming to Bay City. He’s on the phone.
    Kirkland: Dad I’m running a little behind, but I’m definitely coming. Okay.
    Then he goes to answer a knock at the door. Steven walks in.
    Steven: Bro we gotta get to the church, and you’re not even dressed yet.
    Kirkland: Dude relax. I just gotta put my shirt and tie on.
    Steven: As I’ve noticed.
    Kirkland: Do you have the rings?
    Steven: Yes.
    Kirkland: I just got off the phone with my dad. You’re acting just like him.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    GRANT’S HOUSE
    Grant walks into the living room in a full tuxedo and Christy is there.
    Christy: My my don’t you look handsome.
    Grant: I’m standing up for my son at his wedding. I have to look my best.
    Christy: Gosh can’t you take a compliment?
    Grant: Listen to me. We’re not friends. This is a business arrangement. You help me, and I help you. That’s how it goes.
    Grant leaves and Christy reaches into her bag, grabs her phone, and pulls up the calendar. She looks at one particular date highlighted.
    Christy: That’s the day.
    Then she looks up and sees Eric.
    Eric: What day is that?
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Kirkland walks out of the bathroom dressed and ready.
    Steven: How you feelin?
    Kirkland: I’m ready to marry the woman I love. Let’s go.
    Steven opens the door, and there is Scott Granger, who has arrived from Genoa City.
    Scott: Are you sure I can’t convince you not to go through with this wedding?

    PART 2
    Steven looks back and forth at Scott and Kirkland.
    Steven: Hey Scott.
    Scott: Steven how are you?
    Steven: I think...you two need to talk. I’ll be downstairs in the car.
    Steven leaves and Scott shuts the door.
    Scott: Wow that’s your brother? He’s hot.
    Kirkland: He’s straight.
    Scott: That’s what they all say, but anyway.
    Kirkland: So you came all the way to Bay City to stop me from marrying Charlie? Cuz you’re not gonna do it.
    Scott: Kirkland seriously? Why are you getting married to Charlie when you don’t even love her?
    Kirkland: I love Charlie with all my heart, something you don’t seem to have a clue about.
    Scott seems stung by Kirkland’s last statement.
    Scott: I don’t have a clue about love? That’s what we had. You’re the only person I’ve ever loved. You and I were in love. How do you think it makes me feel to watch you marry someone else? I think you’re lying to yourself.
    Kirkland: Lying? That’s all you’ve ever done Scott since you got back to Genoa City. You lied to Rafe. You’re lying to your mother. You’re lying to...what’s her name? Vandalism?
    Scott: Vandalynn. Her name is Vandalynn.
    Kirkland: Isn’t that the girl you slept with that…?
    Scott: You can say it. It broke us up. I messed it up, and all this time I’ve been trying to figure out ways to make it up to you. I’ve been looking for you. Rafe is not you. I miss you Kirkland don’t you understand? I miss what we had back in school.
    Kirkland: It was great, and I don’t regret it.
    Scott goes closer to Kirkland.
    Scott: And we can have it again. You don’t love Charlie the way you love me. I know it. I see it.
    Kirkland: You know when I...came back home. I was so angry. I was angry about the way we broke up. I was angry at my dad for what he did to my mom in the past. During all that time I was searching for ways to stick it to him, so I ran against him for mayor.
    Scott: Is that when you slept with that bartender at the GCAC?
    Kirkland: That was all part of me getting information on my dad. I already knew Charlie back from when were kids but, we got closer, because she was angry at her mom and...she managed to forgive her, and she taught me the power of forgiveness. I felt so stuck in my anger, and Charlie helped me out of all of that. Her love changed me. Her love makes me a better man. That’s why I’m marrying her.
    Scott slowly backs away.
    Scott: But you haven’t told her...about us...have you?
    Kirkland: No. I haven’t told her about my past, and she hasn’t told me much about hers. Like why she dropped out of school. All I know is that I love her, and she loves me.
    Scott: We felt that way about each other once. We were in school, and we had a relationship. All we knew was that we loved each other.
    Kirkland: I did love you, but I’ve moved on. I wish everybody could feel the way I feel right now about the woman I’m going to marry. One day, Scott, you are going to meet someone who blows you away so much that you just want to be a better person. You’re gonna realize that you’re stuck.
    Scott: I’m not stuck.
    Kirkland’s eyes well up with tears, and puts his hands on Scott’s shoulders.
    Kirkland: You...are...stuck. Stuck in the past; stuck in what we had; stuck in what we used to be. I’m not anymore because of Charlie. I want you to be happy Scotty. I want you to feel what I feel now.
    Scott starts to cry.
    Scott: Stop this! I’m never gonna find anyone like you.
    Kirkland: Yes you are. You’re gonna find someone better than me. Someone who makes you a better man.
    Scott: She...really makes you happy.
    Kirkland: Yes man. Yes. I don’t know where I’d be without her. I want you to find that happiness, too. Come here man.
    Kirkland embraces Scott in a long hug.
    Scott: Congratulations.
    Kirkland: You will find it. I promise you.
    Scott slowly backs away and then leaves.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Christy: What are you doing here? I told you to wait for me.
    Eric: Is it so bad for me to want to spend some extra time with my mom.
    Christy gets up and hugs him.
    Christy: I’m sorry son. I miss you, too, but we’ve gotta stay focused.
    Eric: So you went and had it done.
    Christy: Yes I did.
    Eric: And it has something to do with that day you were talking about.
    Christy: That’s when it’s gonna have its biggest effect.
    Eric: Anything I can do to help?
    Christy: You being here is the biggest help of all.
    Eric: Where’s Grant?
    Christy: He went to his son’s and Charlie’s wedding.
    Eric flashes back to (EPISODE 155) when he served Charlie a latte.
    Eric: Caramel latte for the pretty lady?
    Charlie: Thank you. How much is it?
    Eric: It’s on the house.
    Eric then notices Charlie’s engagement ring.
    Eric then flashes back to the present.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    CHURCH
    Grant is at the altar with Kirkland and Steven as the guests start filing in.
    Grant: What took you so long?
    Steven: Traffic was backed up.
    Grant: This doesn’t have anything to do with Scott Granger does it? If he tries to pull anything he’s gonna be sorry.
    Kirkland: I don’t think he is dad. I think it sunk in for him that I love Charlie and I’m gonna be with her for the rest of my life.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Meanwhile, Cass and Charlie are in a room together. Cass is dressed in a tuxedo, and Charlie in her wedding dress.
    Cass: Look at this. After everything that you, your mother, and I have been through as a family, you’re getting married.
    Charlie: I was too young, but I sensed trepidation with you and mom because of my heart condition.
    Cass: We really didn’t know how long we’d have you. You’ve grown up, you went to school, and you’re going back to school.
    Charlie: Yes dad of course.
    Cass: Lila texted me and said that she and Jasmine are gonna send your wedding gift soon. She said she was sorry she couldn’t make it.
    Charlie: I know she wasn’t feeling well and Jasmine wanted to be with her. I wish they were here.
    Cass: Lila was a mother figure for you.
    Charlie: Yep, but we got mom back now.
    Cass: And it’s time for you to get married.
    Charlie: Daddy.
    Cass: Yes.
    Charlie: Thank you for showing me how a man should treat a woman. Thanks for being the greatest dad ever.
    Cass smiles and hugs his daughter.
    Cass: You’re welcome honey. Kirkland’s waiting for his beautiful bride.

    MCKINNON’S HOUSE
    Michele walks in slowly through the front door, looking around. Rachel and Carl are right behind her.
    Rachel: How does it feel being back home?
    Michele: It hasn’t changed that much since…
    Carl: I’m sure your family will be thrilled once they learn of your return.
    Michele: It feels so weird being back.
    Rachel: How so?
    Michele: I dunno. I don’t know how anyone’s doing. My parents; my sister; Cory. I wanna see Cory. Can you guys take me to see him?
    Rachel and Carl look at each other, wondering if Michele seeing Cory would be a good idea.
    --------------------------------------------
    CHURCH
    Stacey and Lindsay are in the foyer as the guests file in.
    Stacey: I’m gonna go help Felicia get ready.
    After Stacey leaves, Gregory shows up.
    Gregory: Wow. Look at my girl.
    Lindsay: Hey there handsome.
    They kiss.
    Gregory: When is this thing getting started?
    Lindsay: Soon.
    Gregory: I’m gonna...take my seat, and watch for you.
    Jake, Vicky, and Bridget show up, and creates an awkward moment for the four of them.
    Gregory: The McKinnons. How’s everybody?
    Bridget and Vicky each shoot a dirty look at Lindsay.
    Bridget: I’m going inside.
    Vicky: Good idea.
    Vicky leads the way but Bridget turns around..
    Bridget: Dad aren’t you coming?
    Jake: I wanna speak to Lindsay for a second.
    Bridget: Why?
    Jake: Bridget, go in with your mother.
    Bridget: I have no clue why you would wanna speak with this liar.
    Bridget goes inside the church area, leaving Jake and Lindsay alone.
    Lindsay: I thought I’d be the last person you’d wanna talk to.
    Jake: I’m gonna make this quick. Look Lindsay I...I don’t blame you for what Vicky and Stacey did. They conspired to keep the truth from me. Nothing’s gonna change the fact that you’re my daughter.
    Lindsay: I hate how all that went down.
    Jake: Well..we can’t change the past, but if you’re willing, we can try and forge some type of relationship.
    Lindsay: That might not go over well with Bridget.
    Jake: I think in time she’ll learn to accept you. When I think about it it’s…almost like a miracle. I lost one daughter, but I gained another.
    -------------
    CHURCH
    Bridget spots Cory sitting in a pew left of the aisle, and sits next to him.
    Bridget: Hey you.
    Cory: Hey. You look great.
    Bridget: Thank you. You, too.
    The two smile at each other. Meanwhile, John and Sharlene are sitting in the same set of pews behind Bridget and Cory.
    Sharlene: You’re gonna sit here? Kirkland’s family is sitting on the other side.
    John: I wanna sit here with you...my wife.
    John puts his right hand on Sharlene’s left thigh, and she scoots further to the right, creating a little space between them, causing John’s hand to be placed on the pew.
    Sharlene: Suit yourself.
    Gregory comes up to them, and sits between John and Sharlene.
    ------
    AT THE ALTAR, Vicky is there with Grant and her two sons, Kirkland and Steven.
    Vicky: Aren’t you excited?
    Grant: Of course he is. Why wouldn’t he be?
    Steven: No fights. Not here, not today guys.
    Kirkland: Thank you big bro. The voice of reason.
    Vicky: We wouldn’t dream of doing something like that right now. At least I wouldn’t. What about you Grant?
    Grant: I certainly wouldn’t entertain the thought of ruining my son’s day.
    Steven: Where’s Jake?
    Grant gets a call on his cell phone.
    Kirkland: Dad really?
    Grant: Sorry son I gotta take this.
    Grant goes off into a private corner and answers his call.
    Grant: Christy this isn’t a good time. The delivery’s been made? Good.
    ----------------------------
    FOYER
    Lindsay: Wow. I certainly didn’t expect this from you.
    Jake: As you’ll learn I can be full of surprises.
    Lindsay: Pleasant ones I hope.
    They hug, while Stacey and Felicia watch them.

    PAULINA’S HOUSE
    Paulina, wearing a light fuchia spaghetti strapped dress, with white, open toed heels, opens the door, and it’s Jack, in a blue suit.
    Paulina: Wow. Hi there.
    Jack: Wow is the operative word here. You look great.
    Paulina: Thank you.
    Jack: Are you ready?
    The two go arm in arm to the car.
    ---------------------
    Carl: Maybe we should wait.
    Rachel: Carl’s right. You have to give yourself some time to get back to your life. You’ve missed significant time with your family.
    Michele: I’ll have plenty of time to do that. I really would like to see Cory.
    Michele sees a tablet on the table and turns it on, but looks at it strangely.
    Rachel: What are you looking at?
    Michele: These words. I really can’t make them out. What does this say?
    Carl and Rachel look at each other again.
    Michele: What’s going on? You guys keep looking at each other.
    Rachel: You can’t…
    Michele: Read? I can’t read? That’s impossible.
    Carl: It could be a result of your brain injury. You may have to re-learn.
    Michele: Learn how to read? I don’t have time for that! I was accepted to Harvard, now you’re telling me I might be illiterate?
    Rachel: Nobody’s saying that at all darling.
    Carl: Once we reunite you with your parents, they should take you to a neurologist.
    -------------------------
    BACK AT THE CHURCH
    Jake: Felicia you look great.
    Felicia: Thank you very much. I thought I wasn’t going to make it on time.
    Stacey: Jake?
    Jake looks at Stacey, and walks into the church. Stacey, a bit defeated, re-gathers herself, as Frankie, Cass, and Charlie join them.
    Frankie: Hey. Well..this is it.
    -------------------------
    Meanwhile, Donna, Michael, Allen walk up to the altar to greet Kirkland and Steven.
    Donna: Steven, honey when did you even get here? It’s so good to see you honey.
    Steven: I’ll explain later.
    Michael: Hey kid.
    Kirkland: Hey grandpa Michael.
    Michael: Where’s Spencer?
    Grant (interjecting): Dad’s on his way. His flight got delayed.
    Allen: Congratulations cuz.
    Kirkland: Thanks.
    Donna: Well it feels like they’re gonna start soon. We should know when a wedding’s about to start.
    Michael: Yeah we’ve been married four times.
    Donna: Where’s Amanda?
    Allen: She’s gonna meet us at the reception at Tops.
    Michael: There he is. Minister Jones.
    Minister Jones: Sorry I’m a bit late, but let’s get this thing going.
    Donna, Michael, and Allen sit as the music begins to play. Grant thinks back to his conversation a few minutes ago about the “delivery” which puts a smile on his face, then he notices Jack and Paulina walk in together, and his smile turns quickly to a frown.
    The double doors that connect the foyer and the front are opened, and Stacey is the first to walk down the aisle. Lindsay, Felicia, and Frankie do the same and take their places.
    IN THE FOYER, Cass looks at Charlie smiling as the organist begins to play “Here Comes the Bride”. Cass sighs.
    Cass: Time for me to give away my little girl. Are you ready?
    Charlie: Yes dad. Sure am.
    The guests stand up and marvel at how Charlie looks in her wedding dress, as Cass escorts her down the aisle. Cass sits down in left pew up front, and leaves Charlie standing opposite Kirkland, as the two prepare to finally be married.

    Amanda is in her office, sitting at her desk on the phone.
    Amanda: You’re coming back to Bay City? When? Oh wow that soon. Of course. Mom will be thrilled. Me, too little brother. I sure could use the help at CP.
    Iris walks in as Amanda looks up at her, and finishes up her conversation.
    Amanda: I have to go. A vulture just flew in.
    Iris: How apropo that you use that metaphor.
    Amanda: Coming to get the rest of your things?
    Amanda focuses on her monitor as she starts to type something.
    Iris: I gave you a chance to work with me when I took over Cory Productions, and you called the police.
    Amanda: I did what was right.
    Iris: You betrayed me.
    Amanda: Shouldn’t you be answering to accessory charges?
    Iris: That’s part of why I came to see you; to tell you the wonderful news.
    Amanda: You’re going to jail? That would be great.
    Iris: No. I’m not. Nice try, but did you really think you were gonna get rid of me that easily?
    Amanda: I guess we were as effective as roach spray.
    Iris: You making all these animal and pest references toward me are not becoming.
    Amanda: They fit though, just like the orange jumpsuit you’re gonna be wearing.
    Iris: Oh little sister, that won’t be happening.
    Amanda: Did you use your Spaulding money to pay someone off?
    Iris: Money was not necessary. Apparently the evidence you turned over to the police wasn’t enough. They dropped the charges.
    Amanda looks up from her monitor as Iris has gotten her attention.
    Amanda: You’re lying.
    Iris: It looks like you, Matthew, Paulina, and Michael are stuck with me.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    AT THE WEDDING...Michael and Donna are sitting together in the pew looking up front at Kirkland and Charlie at the altar.
    Michael: Look at our grandson.
    Donna: He’s just as handsome as you were...at our second wedding.
    Michael: And the first, third and fourth.
    Meanwhile, Kirkland and Charlie are hand in hand, facing each other, with Frankie, Felicia, Lindsay, and Stacey on Charlie’s side, and Steven and Grant on Kirkland’s side as Minister Jones starts to marry them...as Eric Stenbeck creeps into the foyer, staring directly down the aisle at the couple.
    Minister Jones: I’m not gonna go through all the formalities, and all that other stuff. We all know why we came here today in the presence of God. We want to see Kirkland Harrison and Charlotte Frame-Winthrop get married. I have to ask the question though. If there’s any reason that these two shouldn’t be joined together, speak now, or forever hold your peace.
    Eric then flashes back to the flash drive he has of Kirkland sleeping with the bartender at Genoa City Athletic Club. Nobody responds, so the minister continues. Meanwhile, Cory and Bridget, who are sitting together on the same side of Kirkland’s family, steal a short little conversation started by Bridget putting on her lip gloss.
    Cory: Come on what are you doing? Put that thing away.
    Bridget: A girl’s gotta look good.
    Cory: You look fine.
    Bridget: This is my favorite. I almost left it in my room.
    Cory: Oh no, that would’ve been horrible.
    Bridget: You think you’re funny right? I got the weirdest feeling when I was coming downstairs from my room.
    Cory: Oh I know. You got your lip gloss out of your room but forgot your lips.
    Bridget: No, I’m being serious. It’s probably the same feeling you get about Elizabeth.
    Cory: That twin feeling?
    Bridget: Yeah. It was like Michele was close by.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    AT THE MCKINNONS...Michele has just learned that she can’t read. Rachel and Carl try to ease her pain as Rachel sits next to Michele. Carl is sitting in the adjacent chair.
    Rachel: I agree with Carl, but I bet it’s just temporary.
    Carl: You’ve had a traumatic injury. You were struck by a vehicle.
    Michele: People get hit by cars all the time. They can still read! Can I...have a moment alone?
    Rachel: Sure...sure you can.
    Carl: We’ll be right outside if you need us.
    Michele: Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Hutchins...so much.
    Rachel and Carl walk out the door, but Rachel leaves her cell phone on the coffee table, and Michele notices it.
    Carl: Something’s a little off Rachel. Something isn’t right.
    Rachel: I agree. I’m concerned about her.
    Carl: I am, too.
    Rachel: Perhaps we should stay with her until Jake and Vicky come home.
    Michele opens the door and hears what Carl and Rachel are saying.
    Carl: That might take a while.
    Rachel: Kirkland and Charlie’s wedding is today isn’t it?
    Carl: Yes.
    Rachel: They’re gonna have reception at Tops. Yeah Jake and Vicky might not be home for hours.
    Michele slowly shuts the door.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    AT THE CHURCH...Kirkland and Charlie have already exchanged rings, and now Minister Jones asks Kirkland and Charlie the question they’ve been waiting to hear.
    Minister Jones: Do you, Kirkland Harrison, take Charlotte Frame-Winthrop to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold from this day forward, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, forsaking all others, till death do you part?
    Kirkland: I do.
    Minister Jones: Do you, Charlotte Frame-Winthrop, take Kirkland Harrison to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold from this day forward, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, forsaking all others, till death do you part?
    Charlie: I do.
    Minister Jones: By the power vested in me, and the State of Illinois, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You can kiss her.
    Kirkland caresses Charlie’s cheeks and kisses her. Meanwhile, Eric is outside in the foyer watching and utters “liar” to himself.

    AT CORY PRODUCTIONS…
    Amanda: I had more than enough proof to put you away.
    Iris: I stopped there on the way to seeing my granddaughter Sarah. They couldn’t prove that I knew what Tucker was doing.
    Amanda: What about the money transfers?
    Iris: I had no way of knowing that Tucker was going to buy poisoned paint. All I knew was that he was doing a reality show. I had nothing to do with what happened.
    Amanda: Well don’t think about trying to take over Cory Productions again, because I won’t let you.
    Iris: That’s another reason why I came.
    Amanda: It’s not for sale.
    Iris: I have no interest in taking over daddy’s company.
    Amanda: I have to go meet Allen.
    Amanda walks to the door.
    Iris: Don’t you wanna know what I found out while I was out of town?
    Amanda: Let me guess. You fed on carcasses.
    Iris: Hmm on the vulture thing again huh? Unfortunately I didn’t scavenge for the info I found.
    Amanda: For God’s sake just spit it out!
    Iris: Okay here it goes. Martin Hudson is the Cory heir.
    Amanda: He’s dead. He and Michael were twins.
    Iris: Daddy only fathered one of them, and it was Martin, not Michael. Michael is as much a Cory as a...vulture.
    Amanda: So what does all this supposed to mean? If Martin was the Cory heir and he died, it passed onto Michael because he wasn’t married, and he didn’t have any children.
    Iris: And you’re sure about that?
    Amanda: So...the Cory heir is still out there, and you know who it is, don’t you?
    Iris: No sis, I don’t, but what I do know, is that I will not forget how you betrayed me. You’ll wish you didn’t.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    OUTSIDE THE MCKINNONS HOUSE…
    Rachel: I’m not even sure what we’re gonna tell Cory when we get home.
    Carl: We’re gonna have to make him understand why. We would have put him in danger if we told where you had taken me.
    Rachel: Now that it’s public knowledge that Reginald’s alive, he’s out of danger. He might be a little more accepting of why I couldn’t tell him where you were.
    Carl: We have to call him.
    Rachel: Of course. Wait a minute where’s my phone?
    Carl: Let’s check inside.
    Carl and Rachel go inside and Rachel retrieves her cell phone, but they don’t see Michele. Rachel calls out for her, and no response.
    Rachel: My God where is she?
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    AT TOPS...The elevator doors open and Amanda, dressed in a short, off white dress and matching open toed heels, walks in. She sees all the wedding guests have all arrived and settled in at their round tables. The four level wedding cake is on a table next to the terrace. She spots Allen and walks over to him. Allen is at a table with Michael and Donna.
    Allen: Hey babe. So glad you didn’t get stuck at the office.
    Amanda: Me, too. Donna, Michael.
    Donna: Hi there Amanda. You missed a wonderful ceremony.
    Amanda: I wish I could have made. Michael, may I talk to you for a moment?
    Michael: Sure.
    Michael gets up and he and Amanda go to a semi- private spot.
    Michael: What’s up?
    Amanda: Iris came by the office. She knows the truth.
    Michael: About Martin?
    Amanda: Yes, and she hinted that Martin may have a child or a wife.
    Michael: If they’re out there, then they would inherit everything that Mac left for my brother.
    Amanda: Including Cory Productions.
    -------
    Meanwhile, Cory and Bridget are sitting together.
    Cory: Your brother and my niece look so happy.
    Bridget: They sure do. I hope I can be as happy as they are. I’m going to the ladies’ room. I’ll be right back.
    Then Cass goes to the center of the room and asks for everyone’s attention.
    Cass: It’s time for the bride and groom’s first dance.
    Kirkland takes Charlie’s hand and escorts to the center of the floor as “If I Didn’t Have You” by Amanda Marshall starts to be played. As the song plays, the newlyweds look in each other’s eye the whole time.
    For the other couples...
    Cass and Frankie are dancing together...
    Frankie: I don’t want to wake up. These last few days seem like a dream.
    Cass: It’s real baby.
    Frankie looks over at John and Sharlene...
    Frankie: I want everybody to be this happy.
    John looks at Sharlene, he extends his hand so they can dance together, but she grabs her purse, gets up, and walks away from the table. She walks by Felicia and Mitch, who are dancing together. Mitch watches Sharlene, Felicia looks at a dejected John, and then they look back at each other.
    Gregory and Lindsay, while dancing, also saw what happened between John and Sharlene.
    Lindsay: Wow. I hope your parents work things out.
    Gregory: Trust me it’s...probably for the best.
    Lindsay: Maybe you should go after her.
    Gregory: No I...think she should be alone.
    Jake and Vicky sit at their table.
    Vicky: So...you don’t wanna dance?
    Jake: Vicky I’m not doing this here.
    Vicky: Doing what? I just asked you to dance.
    Jake: I still don’t trust you. I don’t know if I ever will.
    Vicky: You want to throw away everything we’ve meant to each other?
    Jake: You did that when you decided to keep the truth from me about Lindsay.
    Vicky: You’re never gonna forgive me for that are you?
    Vicky gets up and leaves the table.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Sharlene approaches the bar near the elevator.



    Sharlene: Double scotch please; on the rocks.



    The elevator doors open and Michele, dressed in blue jeans, white sneakers, and a blue t-shirt, walks out. She notices Cory alone and smiles. Bridget unknowingly walks right by Michele, and Michele hides behind a large plant. Bridget suddenly stops.



    Bridget: Oh my God. That feeling again.



    Bridget continues to walk through the dancing couples, Michele re-emerges and decides to follow Bridget, but stops when Bridget joins Cory on the dance floor.



    Bridget: I got that feeling again.



    Cory: The one you were talking about at the church?



    Bridget: Yep. It’s like I feel Michele. Almost as if she’s here.



    A dejected Michele backs away, turns around, and goes to the elevator. Vicky comes up behind her.



    Vicky: Hi. Can I help you? Are you looking for someone?



    Michele is seemingly frozen, as she hears her mother’s voice for the first time in a very long time.

    PART 1
    CAR - Rachel and Carl are being driven…
    Rachel: I wonder how she got away from us.
    Carl: We were careful.
    Rachel: We left her only for a few minutes.
    Carl: It reminds me of when you and I took care of Perry. He was an adventurous lad. We had to watch him every single second. If we turned our backs, he would disappear.
    Rachel pauses and looks at Carl a little puzzled at his mention of Perry.
    Rachel: Cory was a pretty obedient kid. Elizabeth was the wanderer.
    Carl: We’ll find Michele.
    Rachel: I have a pretty good idea of where she went.
    Carl: If she’s gone to Tops and tries to tell them who she is, nobody’s gonna recognize her.
    Rachel: Reginald certainly had plans to keep Michele away from the McKinnons, that’s why he changed her face. Hopefully we can get there before she does, so we can tell her family.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    TOPS - Kirkland and Charlie are slow dancing, as they gaze into each other’s eyes..
    Kirkland: Mrs. Harrison.
    Charlie: That’s me.
    Kirkland: How are you feeling?
    Charlie: Alive; happy; overjoyed. Today’s just perfect.
    Kirkland: Just one thing missing.
    Charlie: What’s that? That I haven’t thrown the bouquet yet?
    Kirkland: No. My sister Michele. I wish she was alive to see this.
    Charlie: Her spirit is here.
    Kirkland: You ready to throw the bouquet?
    Charlie: Yep.
    Kirkland: You gotta stand over there where my mom is.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Michele emerges from behind a large plant and decides to follow Bridget into the crowd of dancing guests, but stops when Bridget joins Cory on the dance floor.
    Bridget: I got that feeling again.
    Cory: The one you were talking about at the church?
    Bridget: Yep. It’s like I feel Michele. Almost as if she’s here.
    Cory: Of course she’s here. Kirkland’s getting married. Your mom, dad, grandma, grandpa are all here. Steven’s back in town. Michele wouldn’t miss this day at all.
    A dejected Michele backs away, turns around, and goes to the elevator. Vicky comes up behind her.
    Vicky: Hi. Can I help you? Are you looking for someone?
    Michele is seemingly frozen, as she hears her mother’s voice for the first time in a very long time, and turns around to face Vicky, and is shocked to see Vicky.
    Vicky: Hello? I asked you a question. This is a private party.
    Kirkland interrupts the encounter by tapping Vicky on her left shoulder. Vicky turns around.
    Vicky: Kirkland what’s up?
    Kirkland: Mom you gotta move out the way for a second. Charlie’s about to throw the bouquet.
    Vicky: Of course honey. I’m sorry I was just talking to…
    Vicky turns back around and no longer sees Michele. Vicky blows it off and goes back to her seat as Charlie takes her place. Some women, including Stacey, Lindsay, Paulina, Donna, and Amanda take their places as Charlie goes to where Vicky was so she can throw the bouquet.
    Charlie: Are you guys ready?
    The women scream “yeah” seemingly all at once. Meanwhile, Cory and Bridget are together.
    Cory: Aren’t you gonna try to catch the bouquet?
    Bridget: No. I’m right where I wanna be.
    Charlie turns her back to the crowd and counts to three. She tosses the bouquet backward, and Paulina catches it. Paulina looks surprised as the women clap for her. Vicky walks up to Paulina as Jack rejoins Paulina.
    Vicky: Looks like someone’s gonna get maaaarried.
    Paulina: Oh Vicky don’t be silly.
    Vicky: I think Joe would want you to move on.
    Jack: I agree.
    Paulina: These are so beautiful. I need to put these in water.
    Jack: That means I’ll have to take you home. Let me go call my daughter.
    Meanwhile, Donna finds Vicky...
    Vicky: Why didn’t you catch the bouquet?
    Donna: I certainly don’t need to catch flowers to get married Victoria. Have you heard from Tyrone and Marley?
    Vicky: Marley’s not feeling well so Tyrone stayed home with her.
    Donna: Right. Bed rest.
    Vicky: She sends her regards though.
    Donna: Wow I can’t believe I’m gonna be a grandmother again soon. She’s almost due.
    Vicky: Little Roman is gonna have all of his family there for him. His grandpa Michael, grandma Donna, Uncle Allen, Aunt Vicky…
    Donna: And what about Uncle Jake?
    Vicky: To be honest, I have no idea how it’s gonna turn out with him.
    Back on Cory and Bridget…
    Cory: Is that right?
    Bridget: Yep...that’s right.
    Cory: I’m...where I wanna be, too.
    They gaze at each other for a moment, then they engage in a French kiss. Michele re-emerges from behind the large plant and sees Cory and Bridget kissing. She is dejected...and angered, as the elevator doors open. Michele goes into the elevator so she can leave.

    PART 2
    Grant approaches Paulina, who is holding the bouquet.
    Grant: Hello there.
    Paulina: Hi Grant. Where’s your dad?
    Grant: He’s not gonna make it. His flight got cancelled.
    Paulina: Oh. I certainly didn’t think Spencer would miss his grandson’s wedding.
    Grant: He sent his best, so are you enjoying your date with Jack?
    Paulina: It’s not a date Grant. Just two friends going to a wedding.
    Grant: I saw you and him at the church. There’s more than just a platonic friendship going on.
    Paulina: Grant please this is not the time…
    Grant: I felt that way about you. I still do.
    Paulina: Grant---
    Grant: I love you Paulina. I felt so bad for you and Dante, especially after Joe died.
    Paulina: You don’t have to explain yourself.
    Grant: There’s not a day that goes by I don’t think about what I almost did to you and Dante.
    Paulina: That was a long long time ago. We’re both different, and I’ve forgiven you for starting that fire.
    Grant: You’ve always had a place in my heart, even though our lives went in very different directions.
    Paulina: I’m very grateful for what you’ve done for us, but I...I don’t feel that way about you...Grant.
    Grant: Paulina...please. Give me a chance to show you how happy you could be.
    Jack walks up to them.
    Jack: You heard the lady.
    Grant: I was having a conversation with Paulina.
    Jack: She doesn’t need you in her life, neither does Dante.
    Grant: And that’s because you’re the alternative?
    Jack: I’m not gonna let you hurt her again.
    Grant: Just like you’re doing to your wife?
    Jack goes face to face with Grant.
    Jack: You shut up about Carly.
    Jake gets between them to possibly prevent a fight.
    Jake: Look guys I’m not gonna let you do this here; not at Kirkland’s wedding.
    Meanwhile, Bridget and Cory walk up to Kirkland and Charlie.
    Kirkland: Hey squirt.
    Bridget: Congratulations. Both of you.
    Charlie: Thank you. We’re family now.
    Bridget: That’s right. Hey, Cory and I are leaving.
    Charlie: Oh no. Are you sure you can’t stay?
    Cory: I wanna be home in case my mom arrives.
    Charlie: Is Carl, I mean my grandfather, coming home?
    Cory: I don’t know. My mom hasn’t told me anything.
    Kirkland: So you’re gonna take my sister home?
    Cory: Yep.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    AT THE MCKINNONS...Michele walks into the living room, and goes over to a mantle that has all the family pictures on it. She looks at Jake and Vicky’s picture, then at Kirkland’s picture. She then looks at Steven’s picture and smiles. She looks next at a picture of her holding a book up with her old face, then she sees Bridget’s picture, and frowns. She then has some flashbacks…
    (EPISODE 13 at the McKinnons house)
    Vicky: She’s going to Harvard in the fall.
    Michele: Mom I didn’t decide yet.
    Vicky: Oh I’m sorry. She’s trying to decide between Harvard or Columbia.
    Donna: My scholarly granddaughter.

    ------

    (EPISODE 179 at the McKinnons)
    Michele: What’s going on? You guys keep looking at each other.
    Rachel: You can’t…
    Michele: Read? I can’t read? That’s impossible.
    Carl: It could be a result of your brain injury. You may have to re-learn.
    Michele: Learn how to read? I don’t have time for that! I was accepted to Harvard, now you’re telling me I might be illiterate?

    ----

    (EPISODE 12 at BAY CITY CENTER)
    Cory and Michele are at a table. Cory's hand is on top of Michele's.
    Cory: You excited?
    Michele: Yeah it's been like magic. I can't believe this is actually happening.
    Cory: Yeah. Me neither. You're going to Harvard. I'm going to Boston University.
    Michele: And we're going to the prom tomorrow.
    Cory: I've loved you since eighth grade.
    Michele: Have you?
    Cory: Of course I have. You don't believe me?
    Michele: If you give me a kiss, I might.

    ----------

    (EPISODE 14 - At the prom…)
    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?
    (EPISODE 181 at Tops)
    Michele re-emerges from behind the large plant and sees Cory and Bridget kissing. She is dejected...and angered, as the elevator doors open.
    Then she flashes back to the present…
    She picks Bridget’s picture up, and looks at it some more. Michele’s anger grows as she keeps replaying in her mind what Bridget said (Now do I have your attention?) She screams throws the picture against the staircase, which breaks the glass on the picture as it falls to the floor. Next, she goes to the closet, gets a bat out, walks over to the door, and opens it. She looks to see if anyone’s there, then strikes the door with the bat as screams loudly, creating a dent in it. She follows that up by hitting the doorknob, causing it to fall off. Michele re-enters the living room, and hits the back of the couch with the bat. The couch falls on its front.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Meanwhile, outside, Bridget is backing up to the door as Cory holds as the two are unknowingly synchronizing their steps closer to the damaged door. They do not notice the door, and they do not notice that Michele, who no longer has the bat, hears Cory and Bridget. She opens the door slightly, and watches them.
    Cory: You’re home.
    Bridget: I don’t want this day to end.
    Cory: It...doesn’t have to.
    They French kiss, then they unlock lips as Bridget smiles.
    Bridget: My parents aren’t gonna be home for a while.
    Cory: Hmmm.
    They face the door and notice the dent, and the missing doorknob.
    Bridget: Oh my God.
    Cory: Who did this to the door?
    Bridget: Someone must have broken in.
    Cory: Wait.
    Cory pushes the front door open, and he and Bridget see the couch and chair turned over. They also see knocked over lamps, broken light bulbs, and broken glass.
    Bridget: Call the police. Someone definitely broke in here.
    As Cory takes out his cell phone and calls the police, Bridget slowly walks toward the staircase and picks up her portrait, which is still in the frame, in broken glass. Cory comes to Bridget.
    Cory: Police are on their way.
    Bridget shows him her picture with the broken glass portrait.
    Bridget: Look at this. My picture.
    Bridget then directs Cory to the mantle.
    Cory: Everybody’s picture is still up there.
    Bridget: Someone took my picture and threw it at the staircase. Why only my picture? Who would’ve done this? Who broke in here?
    Michele emerges from the top of the staircase.
    Michele: I did.
    Cory and Bridget, unknowingly, see Michele.

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

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

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

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

    LOVE MANSION
    Michael, Donna, and the McKinnons walk in. Jake walks in carrying about five suitcases. Michael is carrying two.
    Jake: Come on Michael you could have grabbed a couple of these.
    Michael: Jake I’m too old to be carrying heavy bags.
    Donna: Girls you can all go upstairs and get comfortable in your rooms.
    Bridget: We know where they are Grandma Donna.
    Bridget goes upstairs while Michele walks past everyone and looks around the living room. Vicky, Jake, Donna and Michael follow her slowly.
    Michele: Wow. It’s been such a long time since I’ve been in here. I forgot how big this place is.
    Vicky: Yes honey, and if these walls had mouths.
    Donna: The stories they’d tell us.
    Michael: Right...uh...where’s Bridget?
    Vicky: She probably went upstairs with Jake.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ROOM - Jake brings in a suitcase for Bridget as she sits on the bed. Jake sits beside her with their backs to the open bedroom door.
    Jake: My goodness you’re only gonna be here a couple days. What did you put in there?
    Bridget: A gal has to always be prepared dad. I’m sure you know this dealing with mom.
    Jake: What is a guy supposed to do? Carry your bags?
    Bridget: Well certainly I couldn’t lift that heavy thing.
    Jake: And I wouldn’t let you, or your sisters.
    Bridget: I still can’t believe Michele’s back.
    Jake: I got all...three of my daughters.
    Michele walks up to the door unseen by Jake and Bridget.
    Bridget: Come on dad. Are you gonna mention Lindsay and that whole situation now?
    Jake: Kiddo, whether you like it or not, Lindsay is your sister. I talked to her at the wedding, and....
    Bridget: No, dad no tell me you didn’t…
    Jake: I told Lindsay that I wanted us to be close, and I want you and Michele to get to know her, too.
    Bridget: I don’t wanna be friends with that lying bitch.
    Jake: Hey...
    Bridget: And you shouldn’t wanna be either, after what she, Stacey, and mom did to you.
    Michele walks in.
    Michele: Dad?
    Jake: Hi honey.
    Michele: What is Bridget talking about? Who’s Lindsay?
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    IN THE LIVING ROOM - Donna and Michael talk to Vicky, as Vicky plops onto the couch.
    Vicky: Wow! What a day!
    Michael: Like a rollercoaster ride.
    Donna: I still can’t believe...that Michele was the one who ransacked the living room. She did a lot of damage.
    Michael: From what you all tell me, Michele was never a violent person.
    Vicky: I wonder what Reginald did to her while he was nursing her to health.
    Donna flashes back to the shattered glass on Bridget’s picture frame, and Donna begins to secretly wonder about Michele.
    Michael: What’s on your mind honey?
    Donna: I was...thinking about what Vicky was saying. We all forgot that my grandson got married today.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    TOPS - All the guests are shocked, but Cass, Frankie and Felicia are horrified to see Christy, who has just stepped off the elevator with her son, Eric Stenbeck. Grant is nervously quiet, hoping that Christy does not tell everyone that he assisted in her release. Christy slowly makes her way toward Charlie and Kirkland, who are both staring at Eric.
    Charlie: My God you...work at the coffee shop.
    Kirkland: I knew something about him was creepy.
    Christy: Charlie, you look so beautiful. Congratulations.
    Cass quickly jumps in front of Charlie to shield her from Christy.
    Cass: Don’t you ever go near my daughter!

    PART 2…
    Jake: Um…
    Bridget: Lindsay came to Bay City and lied to all of us. She tried to be my friend, knowing all the while that she was my sister.
    Michele: Our sister?
    Jake: It’s a long story honey, but it turns out that Lindsay Winthrop is my daughter.
    Michele: My goodness.
    Bridget: And she’s a deceitful lying little bitch, and I want nothing to do with her.
    Michele looks at Bridget, then looks at Jake.
    Michele: Well...I’d like to meet her.
    Bridget: Why? After everything she’s done?
    Michele: Everybody’s lied one time or another...right Bridget?
    Jake: Michele honey why don’t we go in your room and...get you settled.
    Michele: Dad I’m a big girl. I may have had a brain injury, but I still know how to get a room together.
    Jake: Are you sure you’re gonna be okay?
    Michele: I’m gonna be fine.
    Jake: If you girls need anything I’ll be right downstairs.
    Michele: Thanks dad.
    Bridget: Thanks dad.
    Jake: Michele, I’m so glad you’re back. I love you both...so much.
    Bridget: We love you, too dad.
    Jake walks out and Michele follows him. Bridget, also sensing something, quickly shuts the door behind them.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    LIVING ROOM...Donna is with Michael. Michael is sitting on the couch and Donna is pacing back and forth in front of him.
    Michael: Okay Donna what’s on your mind?
    Donna: Nothing. Whatever would give you that idea?
    Michael: I’ve only known you most of my adult life. I think I know when something’s bothering you.
    Michael gets up, stops Donna’s pacing, and rubs her shoulders.
    Michael: What’s going on my love?
    Donna: You...weren’t around when this happened.
    Michael: When what happened?
    Donna: Marley was disfigured in a fire, and they had to do plastic surgery on her face.
    Michael: You told me about that.
    Donna: I didn’t...tell you what happened after that.
    Michael: Well let’s sit down and talk about it.
    Donna: I’m afraid Michael. It’s happening again, just like it did between Marley and Victoria.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    DOWNSTAIRS...Jake approaches the foyer and Vicky meets him there. Vicky folds her arms as if she’s a bit nervous.
    Vicky: Umm...how are the girls?
    Jake: They seem fine. It’s been a full day. Kirkland got married, and our daughter came back in our lives.
    Vicky: Yeah it’s...it’s a miracle.
    Jake: I’m gonna….go.
    Vicky: So you...you’re not gonna stay.
    Jake: You gave me an ultimatum before we went to the wedding, remember?
    Vicky: Yeah I know, and you’re deciding to not fight. We watched Kirkland begin his marriage today, and you’re ending ours.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    TOPS
    Christy: Oh Cass, don’t you know I would never hurt Charlie.
    Cass: You’re capable of anything.
    Frankie approaches Christy.
    Frankie: Christy. How could you do this? Today of all days. It’s my daughter’s wedding day. And who is this guy with you?
    Frankie has a flashback as she sees Eric.
    (Episode 164 at Bay City Center)
    Eric approaches Frankie…
    Eric: Hi. Your name’s Mary Frances right?
    Frankie becomes a bit concerned and stands up to face him.
    Frankie: Yes, but I don’t believe we’ve met.
    Eric: I’ve heard so much about you.
    Frankie: Is that right? From whom?
    Frankie flashes back to the present, and focuses on Eric.
    Frankie: You said you...heard so much about me? Christy told you. How do you know each other?
    Christy: That’s...really why I came. I...wanted everyone to know.
    Felicia: Know what?
    Christy: This is my son. Eric Stenbeck.
    Jack Snyder quickly approaches them.
    Jack: Did you say...Stenbeck? As in…
    Eric: Yes. James Stenbeck. I am his youngest child.
    Frankie: My God. A son? You never mentioned…
    Christy: Douglas forced me to give him up when he was a baby.
    Felicia: I believe I asked you a question. What the hell are you doing here Christy?
    Christy: As if I owe you any explanation. I came to see Mary Frances. She’s the only friend I’ve got.
    Felicia: Now you’re really crazy. Jack, throw this lunatic in jail!
    Cass: She’s obviously escaped!
    Jack: I called the station. She’s a free woman.
    Cass: That’s impossible!
    Jack: She was released. She’s been free for a while now.
    Felicia: So what were you doing all this time? Planning to crash Charlie and Kirkland’s wedding?
    Christy: Again, Felicia, what is it that I borrowed from you, that I owe you anything?
    Cass: Listen I think you need to get outta here. Now!
    Christy: Come on son.
    Christy then makes eye contact with Grant as the elevator doors open. Kirkland notices the exchange between Christy and Grant as the elevator doors shut on Christy and Eric.
    Eric: Mom. We shouldn’t have done that.
    Christy: There was a purpose to that. Bay City now knows that we’re here.

    Special Appearance by Maura West as Carly Snyder
    STACEY’S APARTMENT...Stacey is in the living room with Cass and Frankie.
    Stacey: You two must be so happy. I’ll be feeling the same way when Lindsay ties the knot.
    Frankie: You will, and we’ll be right here helping you just as you helped us.
    Cass: And you gotta make sure she marries the right guy.
    Frankie: Cass, your niece is strong and smart. I’m sure she’ll make the right decision where that’s concerned.
    Stacey: I want the best for Lindsay.
    Cass: Of course you do.
    Stacey: I want her to be happy...happier than I am.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    AT THE HUDSONS...Gregory comes downstairs while Lindsay gets up from the couch and faces Gregory.
    Lindsay: How’s your mom?
    Gregory: She’s out cold.
    Lindsay: Bet she’s gonna have a killer headache in the morning.
    Gregory: She had a lot to drink. I’ve never seen mom go off like that.
    Lindsay: A lot of people seemed surprised.
    Gregory: I guess she’s just...tired of...everything.
    Lindsay: How do you mean?
    Gregory: That whole thing with dad and Felicia.
    Gregory puts his arms around Lindsay’s waist as Lindsay looks up at her boyfriend.
    Lindsay: It’s taken a toll on all of you.
    Gregory: I can’t help but think that I had a part in it, too.
    Lindsay: You wanting to protect your mother?
    Gregory: You think I went too far?
    Lindsay: I...do think you overreacted a bit. You didn’t have any solid proof that John and Felicia were having an affair.
    Gregory: I just don’t wanna lose my mom again. I don’t wanna see her sad anymore, like she was the first time dad cheated on her.
    Lindsay: Guess we...both have that in common. We both worry about our moms.
    Gregory: Is Stacey okay?
    Lindsay: She puts on a brave front. She stays busy with work and then we were in Charlie’s wedding, but deep down, I see a sadness in her, too. Ever since she broke up with Derek.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Cass: Stace you’ll find it. Just as Frankie and I have.
    Stacey: From your lips.
    Frankie: That’s right. Cass and I are not gonna let anything come between us this time.
    Cass: Not even Christy Carson.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    GRANT’S HOUSE...Grant undoes his bowtie and when Christy walks in, he turns his attentions to her.
    Grant: What the hell do you think were doing? Showing up at my son’s wedding reception!
    Christy: Relax Grant! You’re not half as concerned about Kirkland as you are about yourself.
    Grant: What are you talking about? Of course I’m concerned about my son’s happiness.
    Christy: Oh please. I wasn’t going to tell everyone that you were the one who got me out of prison. I saw you sweating bullets when you saw me and my son.
    Grant: You never mentioned that you had a son.
    Christy: You never asked.
    Grant: With James Stenbeck no less.
    Christy: Wasn’t it you who said this was a business arrangement?
    Grant: Some things you should disclose to the people you’re working with.
    Christy: I owed you no explanation about Eric. The only thing I need to tell you is that the recipient of your delivery should be seeing its contents as we speak.
    Grant smiles.
    Grant: Good work, and let the destruction of Jack Snyder begin.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    IN FRONT OF PAULINA’S HOUSE...Jack and Paulina walk arm in arm toward the door and stop. Paulina is holding the bouquet in her other hand.
    Paulina: What a reception that was. Never a dull moment.
    Jack: I still can’t believe that James Stenbeck had a fourth son.
    Paulina: I think you mentioned that to me once.
    Jack: Let’s see he’s got David Stenbeck, Paul Ryan, Henry Coleman, and now Eric.
    Paulina: From what I’ve heard he was really evil. Were any of his sons like him?
    Jack: Only David, so far.
    Paulina (sighing): Why don’t we talk about something positive?
    Jack (smiling): Like what?
    Paulina: The great time we had tonight. I’m glad you took me to the wedding.
    Jack: And to think you were hesitant when I asked you to go with me.
    Meanwhile, a mystery person watches them from a real short distance.
    Paulina (smiling): I’m sure you understand my apprehension.
    Jack: You just need to relax a bit.
    They face each other, give each other a look, and as they lean in to kiss, Carly Snyder, the mystery person, stops them by appearing and gets their attention, and she walks directly up to them.
    Carly: Wow Jack! The ink isn’t even dry on the separation papers yet, and you’ve moved on?
    Jack: What are you doing here Carly?
    Carly: I knew something was happening between you two, and this confirmed it.
    Carly shows Jack a picture of him and Paulina in the Center when Paulina put her right hand on Jack’s left hand on the table (taken by Eric), and Jack and Paulina are shocked.

    Grant: He’s got what I want. He’s got who I want.
    Christy: Paulina Carlino. From what I’ve heard about her I don’t see the appeal.
    Grant: She’s a lovely, sweet, good person.
    Christy: She came to Bay City to get her cut of Mac Cory’s money, and she shot Jake McKinnon. What makes her so wholesome all of a sudden. Nobody’s using those adjectives about me.
    Grant: You poisoned your husband to death. You shouldn’t expect people to welcome you with open arms,
    Christy: And by people, you mean Cass and Mary Frances.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Cass: Come on sis don’t talk like that. You’ll find happiness, too.
    Frankie: Look at what you have. You have your brother, you have me, you have a wonderful daughter, and Charlie.
    Stacey: You guys are so sweet, and it’s true. I have all of that, but what I don’t have; what I’m devoid of, is the man that I love.
    Cass: Stacey, honey, you’ve gotta try to move on. The wedding probably brought up all these emotions for you, but he’s not available.
    Frankie: Who are you guys talking about?
    Stacey: I might as well tell you. I’m still in love with Lindsay’s father.
    Frankie: Jake? My God. He’s very married.
    Stacey: You don’t have to tell me twice, and I’m very well aware of that, but the heart wants what it wants. That’s what I mean about Lindsay. I don’t want her to make the same mistakes I did. I want her to live a happy, prosperous life.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Gregory: Our parents think that they’re the only ones who worry.
    Lindsay: I thought my mom and Derek would be together forever.
    Gregory: I thought the same about my parents. I don’t know what’s gonna happen to them.
    Lindsay: One of the things I love about you.
    Gregory: Ohh what’s that?
    Lindsay: That you’re crazy. You followed your dad when he went to see Felicia?
    Gregory: I’m not proud of that.
    Lindsay: I’m kidding.
    Gregory: Oh...the comedienne has delivered one of her jokes.
    Lindsay: Hmmmm.
    They kiss and then Lindsay starts wincing.
    Gregory: What’s wrong?
    Lindsay: I think I got an upset stomach. It won’t settle down.
    Gregory: Something you ate at the reception?
    Lindsay: I dunno. Might be just gas.
    Gregory: I think we got some antacid. I'll get it for you.
    Lindsay sits down on the couch as Gregory goes to the kitchen.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Grant: You didn’t know anybody else in Bay City when you were here before did you?
    Christy: No I didn’t. I thought they were my friends.
    Grant: Are you really gonna play the victim here? You were obsessed with Cass back then, and you still are.
    Christy: Well Mary Frances forgave me.
    Grant: Come on I know you’re smarter than that. Do you really think Frankie just forgot everything you’ve done; that you carefully planned to get her out of the way so you can have a clear path to Cass?
    Christy: I didn’t want that.
    Grant: Sure you did Christy. You were fixated on Mr. Winthrop over twenty years ago, but what gives now? You got released from that mental health facility. You and your son could have left and started over in another place, but you decided to stay in Bay City. What are you up to?
    Christy says nothing, but she looks at Grant in a way that answers his question.
    Grant: My God. You’re trying to get revenge. How do you plan on doing that?
    Christy: My plans for Cass are none of your concern. You need to worry about Paulina, and your fixation on her.
    Grant: For the record, I am not obsessed with anyone.
    Christy: Right. You're too self absorbed for that.
    Grant: Jack is the one that needs to worry. Thanks to you, I’ve begun the process...of bringing him down.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Jack: This picture doesn’t prove anything.
    Paulina: Who took this?
    Carly: Does that matter? You two have been sneaking around.
    Paulina: Jack had just gotten the separation papers from you when this picture was taken. He was devastated! Jack and I are friends.
    Carly: From the looks of things it seems like it’s going to be a lot more.
    Jack: You’re jumping to conclusions.
    Paulina: There’s nothing going on between me and Jack. I’m sure Jack has told you that a hundred times.
    Carly: Are you proud of yourself Paulina? Frolicking around Bay City with someone else’s husband!
    Paulina: Jack is a decent man, and you take him for granted!
    Carly: He is still married!
    Paulina: You wanted a separation!
    Carly: You need to butt the hell out!
    Jack: Ladies! This isn’t getting us anywhere. Paulina let me talk to Carly alone please.
    Carly: Oh no need for that. I had to see for myself how close you two have gotten, and I’ve seen enough. When I get back to Oakdale, I’m gonna call Jessica Griffin and file for divorce. This marriage is over! Happy homewrecking Paulina. You can marry Jack since it looks like you caught the bouquet.
    Paulina: Bitch!
    Carly walks off. Jack calls for her and begins to go after her, but Paulina stops him.
    Paulina: Jack wait. Don’t go.
    Jack: I gotta talk to her.
    Paulina: She’s made up her mind. Don’t chase after someone who doesn’t want to be with you. Stay with someone who does. I love you Jack.
    Paulina pulls Jack into a passionate kiss.

    BAY CITY CENTER, Jack is sitting at a table, and he has one flashback…
    (EPISODE 185)
    Jack: Ladies! This isn’t getting us anywhere. Paulina let me talk to Carly alone please.
    Carly: Oh no need for that. I had to see for myself how close you two have gotten, and I’ve seen enough. When I get back to Oakdale, I’m gonna call Jessica Griffin and file for divorce. This marriage is over! Happy homewrecking Paulina. You can marry Jack since it looks like you caught the bouquet.
    Then another flashback (EPISODE 185)
    Paulina: She’s made up her mind. Don’t chase after someone who doesn’t want to be with you. Stay with someone who does. I love you Jack.
    Paulina pulls Jack into a passionate kiss.
    Then Jack flashes back to the present, and takes a nervous deep breath. Suddenly, he feels a hand on his right shoulder. He looks up and smiles at the familiar face...Vicky.
    Vicky: Hey friend. Long time.
    Jack: Hey Vick. Have a seat.
    Vicky: You look like I feel.
    Jack: Torn up.
    Vicky: Let me guess, both of our problems are with our spouses.
    Jack: That’s the last time we talked isn’t it?
    Vicky: We really should be better friends to each other.
    Jack: Carly filed for a separation.
    Vicky: My, I’m sorry about that. You must be devastated.
    Jack: I am, but I’m torn.
    Vicky: I saw you at my son’s wedding with Paulina. Wow, have you and Paulina been seeing each other?
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    CORY MANSION...Someone rings the doorbell and Carl answers it, and smiles.
    Carl: Paulina!
    Paulina: May I come in?
    Carl: Of course of course.
    The two hug.
    Paulina: Rachel called and told me you were back. It’s great to see you Carl.
    Carl: Likewise. How have you been?
    Paulina smiles.
    Paulina: Never better.
    Carl: You look happy.
    Rachel joins them in the foyer.
    Rachel: I agree with Carl. You’re glowing.
    Paulina: I feel..happier than I’ve been in a long time.
    Rachel: What happened?
    Paulina continues to smile at Carl and Rachel.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Meanwhile, Jack continues his conversation with Vicky at the Center...
    Jack: No..not exactly.
    Vicky: Not exactly? Your wife filed for a separation. The next step is…
    Jack: Divorce? She threatened that, too.
    Vicky: And it looks like you’re not gonna even fight for your marriage.
    Jack: I really think it’s over for Carly and me.
    Vicky: Is that what you guys do when you decide not work things out?
    Vicky looks away from Jack.
    Vicky: After everything you and Carly have been through together? You’re just gonna...let it go?
    Jack: Are we talking about me? Or Jake?
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    LOVE MANSION...Jake rings the doorbell and Michele answers it.
    Jake: Hey there.
    Michele: Dad.
    The two embrace in the foyer
    Michele: Are you looking for mom? She went out, and I don’t know where Bridget is.
    Jake: No...actually I came to talk to you. We have sooo much catching up to do.
    Michele: Right.
    Jake: How are you feeling? Do you need anything?
    Michele: Umm...no.
    Michele shuts the front door, and walks past Jake into the living room. He follows her.
    Jake: Honey are you sure that you’re okay?
    Michele: I’m fine. I’m just trying to get adjusted to life back at home again.
    Jake: Is that all?
    Michele: Dad? What are you getting at?
    Jake: I know what you did at the house.
    Michele: I ransacked the living room. So what?
    Jake: That’s not all.
    Michele: Then what is it?
    Jake: You smashed Bridget’s picture didn’t you?

    PART 2
    Rachel, Paulina, and Carl are in the living room of the Cory Mansion sitting on the couch.
    Paulina: Everything seemed to fall into place after Kirkland and I talked.
    Carl: So he forgave you?
    Paulina: Not exactly. He never resented me for what I did all those years ago.
    Rachel: Kirkland is a very mature young man. It doesn’t surprise me that he understood.
    Paulina: He actually thanked me for saving his life. He said if it wasn’t for me, he wouldn’t be able to marry Charlie, and he invited me to his wedding. I mean I thought I’d be the last person he would want at his ceremony.
    Carl: Kirkland is a way better man this his father.
    Rachel: Carl...so Paulina what else happened?
    Paulina: I was on the phone with my daughter, and she helped me to see that it may be time for to move on, then Jack insisted, sort of, that he take me to Kirkland and Charlie’s wedding. I caught the bouquet, and Jack and I kissed. Well...I kissed him.
    Rachel: That all sounds lovely but isn’t he still married?
    Paulina: I was hesitant for a long time because of that, but he and Carly have been having problems ever since he got hired by the Bay City Police, and I’m tired of waiting. Sometimes you have to just go for what you want. If you wait for the right time, it’ll never come. This has been building up since he broke up a fight between me and Iris. We were friends long before Carly came into the picture. She was so awful toward him.
    Carl: I’m gonna go upstairs and lie down.
    Rachel: Sure honey.
    Carl walks out and Rachel looks at Carl with concern, but then she turns her attentions to Paulina.
    Rachel: Paulina, honey, I love you like a daughter, and I’m going to be honest with you. I don’t think you should pursue this with Jack.
    Paulina: Who’s pursuing something?
    Rachel: You’re getting your hopes up and I think you could be making a big mistake. Jack and Carly have been in each other’s lives for a very long time. He might not be willing just to let that go.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Vicky snaps her finger.
    Vicky: Ya got me.
    Jack: If you don’t wanna talk about it...
    Vicky: I screwed up...big time.
    Jack: How?
    Vicky: I lied to Jake.
    Jack: Oh no...Vicky. What did you do?
    Vicky: I didn’t tell him that Lindsay Winthrop was his daughter.
    Jack: Wait a minute. She was one of the bridesmaids right?
    Vicky: Yep.
    Jack: She’s Jake’s daughter. Why didn’t you tell him?
    Vicky: Because I wanted to protect my family, and him.
    Jack: Does Lindsay pose some kind of threat?
    Vicky: No no no nothing like that, but we were just getting past the loss of Michele, whom we got back by the way, and…
    Jack: Wait a minute...Michele?
    Vicky: Yeah long story...my grandfather.
    Jack: Yeah I know all about him.
    Vicky: He actually saved her life, but enough about him.
    Jack: Yeah about Jake. You were afraid he would neglect you and Bridget. Vicky you didn’t trust him, just like Carly didn’t trust me.
    Vicky: And...we both gave our spouses reason not to.
    Jack: Carly says she’s filing for divorce.
    Vicky: And Jake might, too. I get the feeling he doesn’t want to fight for our marriage.
    Vicky gets a text on her cell phone.
    Vicky: Oh I...I gotta go.
    Jack: So quickly.
    Vicky: The cleaning company I hired just texted me. The living room is clean again.
    Jack: Oh wow. We were just gettin warmed up.
    Vicky: So we can move back in. I guess I’ll find out soon how Jake really feels.
    Jack: You better keep in touch.
    Vicky (smiling): Will do.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Michele: What are you talking about?
    Jake: Bridget’s picture frame...on the mantle. Everybody else’s picture was intact, but hers was the only one that was smashed.
    Michele: I dunno I must have hit it by mistake. It wasn’t on purpose.
    Jake: Why did you even do that? Why did you tear up the living room like that? Is there something you wanna talk about?
    Vicky walks in and interrupts them.
    Vicky: Hey I was wondering where everybody was.
    Michele: Mom hey.
    Michele goes and hugs Vicky, as Vicky unknowingly saved Michele from Jake finding out why Michele tore up the McKinnons living room.
    Vicky: The house is clean now. We can all move back in.
    Michele: Great. I’ll go get my things.
    Michele gladly goes upstairs and Vicky turns to Jake.
    Vicky: I see Michele’s excited to go back to her room.
    Jake: Vicky I was having an important conversation with her.
    Vicky: Well I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to interrupt. Guess I’m just excited to be able to go back home.
    Jake: I’m not going.
    Vicky: What do you mean? Of course you’re coming home. We just got Michele back.
    Jake: Vicky....I’m not coming home.

    ALLEN’S SUITE - Amanda is on her cell phone while in the bed with Allen.
    Amanda: You’ve got things there? Good. Gives me some extra time with my man. Thanks Matt.
    Amanda hangs up, puts her phone on the nightstand, and turns her attentions to Allen. She snuggles up against him.
    Amanda: I got an extra couple hours.
    She kisses him on his chest, but he doesn’t seem to be responding.
    Amanda: Baby are you alright? I thought you liked my kisses.
    Allen: I love them. I’m sorry. I’m just...thinking about my daughter.
    Amanda: K.C.
    Allen sighs and looks up toward the door.
    Allen: I haven’t heard anything since I saw her in Monticello.
    Amanda: I’m sure it’s quite a shock for her. You might have to give her some time to process it all.
    Allen: I want a relationship with her, and I don’t wanna waste one more minute.

    BAY CITY CENTER...Joy is texting and walking very slowly. She sends a text to Steven…
    Joy (texting): R u in the coffee shop?
    Steven (texting back): Yes.
    Joy, still looking at her phone, smiles and walks slowly, still looking at her phone. Suddenly, someone bumps into Joy, and causes her to drop her phone. It’s K.C. Joy picks up her phone in disgust.
    Joy: My God. My phone’s broken. You broke my phone!
    K.C.: I didn’t do anything. You weren’t looking where you were going.
    Joy: Look I need to get your information because you are going to pay for me to get a new phone, since you caused it to be broken.
    K.C.: I can’t take responsibility for your clumsiness.
    Joy: Look little girl, the grown up way to settle things is that you take responsibility for what you’ve done. You are gonna pay for me to get a new phone.
    K.C.: This full grown adult is not paying for a damn thing. You should look where the hell you’re going.
    Joy: Oh bitch you gon’ pay for this phone.
    K.C.: You better watch who you’re calling a bitch or you’ll end up in the fountain.
    Toni and Etta Mae quickly come between them.
    Etta Mae: You leave her alone lady!
    Toni: Nobody’s gonna end up anywhere. How much is the phone?
    Joy: Five hundred dollars.
    K.C.: Oh please that’s more than what that thing is worth.
    Toni: I’ll write you a check.
    They all follow Toni to a nearby table, who takes out her checkbook, writes the check, and gives it to Joy.
    Joy: I hope it doesn’t bounce.
    K.C.: Maybe you should bounce before I kick your…
    Toni: K.C.! The check’s good.
    Joy: Um hm.
    Joy walks away.
    K.C.: Ugh! What a bitch!
    Etta Mae: Watch yo mouth young lady!
    Toni: Let’s focus and talk about why we’re here.
    K.C.: What’s that?
    Eric, dressed in his work uniform, is outside of the coffee shop sweeping, and catches K.C.’s eye, and he gives her a look also, but he continues to sweep.
    Etta Mae: Keneisha? Are you listening?
    K.C.: I’m sorry. What?
    Etta Mae: You must not have heard what I said.
    K.C.: Yeah I just finished looking for an apartment.
    Etta Mae: And how you gon’ pay for it?
    K.C.: I guess I’ll...get a job.
    Toni: So you’re gonna work and go to school full time? That’s a lot.
    K.C.: I can manage.
    Etta Mae: Baby I can’t afford to pay your bills and mine.
    K.C.: So what are you saying?
    Toni: You can live with me.
    K.C.: No. Not gonna happen!
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    COFFEE SHOP...Steven and Joy are sitting at a table while Eric, who has just re-entered the place, notices them.
    Steven: Finally. You alright?
    Joy: Yeah I’m gonna get a new phone.
    Steven: What happened?
    Joy: Someone bumped into me outside and caused me to drop it. It’s all broken.
    Joy shows it to Steven, and has a flashback.
    (EPISODE 174)
    At the Monticello Police Station Interrogation Room, Reginald gives instructions to Joy...
    Reginald: You don’t want Thomasina to get sick again do you? Get me my great grandson.
    Joy flashes back to the present.
    Steven: Yeah it’s...pretty messed up.
    Joy: I absolutely must have a phone. You know what. Come with me.
    Steven: Where?
    Joy: Help me pick out a phone. Let’s go to the phone store.
    Steven holds the door open for Joy as she leaves the coffee shop, and he follows.
    Joy: Such a gentleman.
    Steven: Thank you.
    Joy then notices K.C. from a short distance.
    Joy: Oh...there’s the little twit who broke my phone.
    Steven: Hey, that little twit is my cousin.
    Joy: Your who?
    Steven: Her father and my mother are cousins, so we’re related.

    KBAY- Allen is in his office when someone knocks on the door.
    Allen: Come in.
    Allen is surprised at his visitor, who is carrying papers.
    Allen: Iris?
    Iris: You missed the little celebration we had. I’m gonna buy the staff dinner from Tops. Just tell your secretary what you want and she’ll add it to the order.
    Allen: Why would you be doing that? In fact why are you even here? The last time I tangled with you, you were in cahoots with my grandfather to take over Cory Productions, and I almost lost the woman I love.
    Iris: So you think you love my sister?
    Allen: Listen I got work to do.
    Allen turns his attentions to his computer and starts left clicking the mouse...
    Allen: Where is that story?
    Iris: Screw it! I am the story.
    Allen: Iris, you need to leave. I’m gonna call security.
    Iris: And I’d fire them if they put their hands on me.
    Allen: What?
    Iris: You heard right. I own this TV station. I am the owner of KBAY.

    BAY CITY CENTER….Steven and Joy are standing in front a phone store. Joy is holding a small bag.
    Joy: I really like the phone you picked out for me.
    Steven: Glad I could be of help, but I can’t take credit for the cover. I won’t take credit for the cover.
    Joy takes out the touchscreen phone, with a pink sparkled cover, and they both look at the phone and the cover as if to examine them. Joy is turning the items back and forth.
    Joy: This cover is pretty. What are you talking about?
    Steven: I’m not a pink sparkle kind of guy.
    Joy: Well I’m glad you didn’t pick the cover? It would probably would have been all black or something.
    Steven: You forgot brown.
    Joy: Those dark ‘guy’ colors.
    Steven: Sorta kinda. You know it’s good to see you smiling. This is a hell of a lot of easier than the first time I got to see your grin. I still don’t even know your last name.
    Steven moves closer to Joy, until they come face to face.
    Steven: There’s still...so much I don’t know about you. Who is Joy? What makes her tick? You’re so beautiful....and mysterious.
    Steven begins to kiss Joy.
    Joy: I...I can’t do...this.
    Joy tries to resist Steven, but she can no longer. She kisses him back.

    Meanwhile, over at a table, the Burrells discuss KC’s situation…
    Etta Mae: Well where else you think you gon’ live at?
    K.C.: I told you I’ll get a job and I’ll get my own apartment.
    Toni: Working full time and going to school full time is a tremendous. I don’t think you’ve thought about this.
    K.C.: You mean that if Reginald never kidnapped me, I never would have known that Allen Love is my father? And that my mother and my sister are my grandmother and my mother, yes I think about that all the time.
    Etta Mae: Look you can be mad all you want to, but don’t let it cloud your judgment. You’re smarter than that.
    Toni: Mom’s right.
    Etta Mae: And you know damn well that you can’t afford to go to school full time and work full time!
    K.C.: You don’t know what I can do!
    Etta Mae: I told you not to come to Bay City. Toni and I tried to convince you not to but you wanted to come here!
    K.C.: That’s because you wanted to hide your secret!
    Toni: Look! K.C. we all know what the smart thing for you to do is, and that’s to live with me. You know how my job is. I’ll hardly be home. It’ll be like having your own apartment, and it’s walking distance to campus.
    Etta Mae: And Toni ain’t gon make you pay no rent right?
    Toni: As long as she stays in school.
    K.C.’s wall starts to break down a little.
    K.C.: I...I could commute.
    Etta Mae: With whose car?
    Toni: I guess you wanna get home late every single night.
    Etta Mae: I got get on the road.
    Toni (looking at her cell phone): Yeah I gotta get back to work.
    Toni and Etta Mae get up and K.C. stays seated, and as they walk away…
    K.C.: Wait. I’ll...I’ll live with you Toni.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Allen: What the hell are you talkin’ about?
    Iris: Watch how you talk to your boss.
    Allen: When did this happen?
    Iris: Not too long ago. KBAY hasn’t had the same flair since your Aunt Donna owned it. It’s time I added my own flavor to it.
    Allen: Oh come on. You didn’t buy this TV station because you wanted to sprinkle some seasoning on it. Ooooh you got somethin’ else up your sleeve, and I bet it has something to do with getting back at Amanda doesn’t it?
    Iris: Oh goodness, everything that I do does not involve Amanda or anything to do with the Corys.
    Allen: Sure it does. You might not be Mac’s biological daughter, but he’s always gonna be your daddy, and you’re always gonna feel that anything he owned and built belongs to you, namely Cory Publishing, now Cory Productions.
    Allen steps back a little as he comes to a realization…
    Allen: You just came upon your rich Spaulding roots, and you bought up KBAY. Is Cory Productions next on your shopping list?
    Iris smiles.
    Iris: Wouldn’t you like to know?
    Iris walks toward the door and stops.
    Iris: If you breathe a word of your theories to anyone, I’ll destroy you, your daughter, and anyone you love. With all my money and influence, you know I can do it.
    Allen: Why? What are you up to?
    Iris: You’ll see soon enough, just don’t get in my way.

    BAY CITY CENTER...The Coffee Shop…
    K.C. (Saleisha Stowers) walks in, and notices Eric (Jason Shane Scott) , who is wearing his green smock, working behind the counter. K.C. smiles and walks up to it, and Eric approaches the register.
    Eric: May I help you?
    K.C.: You sure can. May I have a hot chocolate please?
    Eric: Sure.
    Eric rings it up…
    Eric: 2.45
    K.C. looks inside her purse, which has no money in it.
    K.C.: Oh I...I’m a little short. Can you put it on the house...handsome?
    Eric smiles.
    Eric: Is that how cute girls like you get over?
    Suddenly, Allen (Sean Blakemore) comes from behind K.C., puts a five dollar bill on the counter, and slides it to Eric.
    Allen: Keep the change.
    Allen then takes K.C. by her arm and escorts her to a table off to the side.
    K.C.: Let go of me!
    K.C. angrily tries to free herself, but doesn’t get free until Allen releases her, and when he does, K.C. slaps him.
    K.C.: What the hell do you think you’re doing? You embarrassed me!
    Allen: Look I know we’ve been father and daughter for two minutes, but I gotta tell you, don’t think about getting involved with that guy!
    K.C.: What?
    Allen: He crashed Kirkland and Charlie’s wedding reception; he and his crazy ass mother. You’d do good to stay away from him.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    GRANT’S HOUSE - Christy (Robin Mattson) picks up the house phone and makes a call.
    Christy: I was wondering if we could meet.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    MCKINNONS HOUSE - Out front, Donna (Anna Stuart) and Michael (Kale Browne) approach the door, and Michael puts his arms around Donna’s waist.
    Michael: Wait a minute.
    He kisses the mother of two of his children and the woman he married four times, and makes her smile for a moment.
    Donna: I know what you’re trying to do, and it’s not gonna work.
    Michael: Come on we wanna bring...some cheer to Victoria. You don’t want her to know that you’re worried.
    Donna: I can’t help it Michael. I saw this all happen sixteen years ago with Marley and Victoria, and it’s like I’m watching history repeat itself with our granddaughters. I’ve got to warn her.
    Vicky (Jensen Buchanan) opens the door and walks up to her parents.
    Vicky: Warn me about who? Michele?
    Michael: Donna thinks there might be a problem.
    Donna: That’s because there is a problem Michael. Is she here?
    Vicky: No.
    Jake (Tom Eplin) walks up to them.
    Donna: Well where did she go?
    Jake: That’s what I’d like to know.
    Vicky: Are you here to get some of your things?
    Jake: I’m looking for Michele.
    Donna: You, too?
    Jake: I gotta talk to her.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    HOSPITAL - Lindsay (Kate Mansi) walks up to the nurse’s station, looks on the computer, and calls Gregory (Adam Gregory) .
    Lindsay: Hey there. Yeah I’m looking on my list of appointments and I don’t have another one for two and half hours, and since you don’t have football practice, I was thinking maybe we could...make the most of our time. Sounds good. I’ll wait here.
    Lindsay hangs up and starts walking toward the water cooler, then she stops and grabs her stomach because she starts having pains. As she winces, Michele (DENYSE TONTZ) approaches her.
    Michele: Oh my. Are you okay? You look like you’re in some kind of pain.

    PART 2
    K.C.: Who do you think you are? You think you’re gonna tell me who I can and cannot talk to?
    Allen: You know what...I suppose you’re right. I have no business telling you what to do.
    K.C.: I’m glad you understand that.
    Allen: But it’s not my fault that we didn’t get a chance to have a relationship.
    K.C.: Oh no, don’t you put this on Toni and Etta Mae. Seems like everyone played their part. You left while Toni was pregnant.
    Allen: I can’t change the past. I want a chance to be a father to you.
    K.C.: So is this how you’re gonna do it? You’re gonna manhandle and tell me I can’t talk to certain people.
    Allen: Eric Stenbeck is not certain people. He and his mother showed up at your cousin’s wedding unannounced.
    K.C.: Is there a point you’re trying to make? Party crashers are everywhere.
    Allen: I don’t get a good vibe about him, or his mother. I’m just sayin’ be careful.
    Allen walks away from K.C. and out of the coffee shop.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Meanwhile, Christy walks in and up to the counter. Eric approaches Christy.
    Christy: Hi son. How are you?
    Eric: Working.
    He turns his back and starts wiping down the counter.
    Christy: Why do I sense a little attitude from you?
    Eric: Because I’m public enemy number one now because we went to Kirkland and Charlie’s wedding reception.
    Christy: Honey I thought you understood why we did that.
    Eric: I don’t wanna make enemies. I don’t wanna be like my father.
    Christy: You are not James Stenbeck. You’re your own person.
    Eric: I’m not so sure mom, and I think someone’s here to meet you.
    Christy turns around and sees Frankie (Alice Barrett) .
    Christy: Mary Frances. Thank you for coming. Mind if we sit down?
    Frankie: I don’t have a lot of time Christy.
    Christy: Okay. Listen I...I understand that you’d be angry with me.
    Frankie: Why did you do it? Why did you crash my daughter’s wedding reception?
    Christy: I should’ve...used better judgment in showing everyone I was here.
    Frankie: Is that what you wanted to do? Make a splash! How could you do that? I thought you we were friends.
    Christy: We are friends. I apologize. I hope you forgive me.
    Felicia (Linda Dano) walks up to them.
    Felicia: I can’t believe this! How could you even be talking to this woman Frankie?
    Christy: I don’t have leprosy Felicia.
    Felicia: No you don’t. You have something far worse.
    Frankie: Felicia we’re having a conversation.
    Felicia: You shouldn’t be having anything with this woman! What are you thinking?
    Christy: I think I’ll leave.
    Felicia: Leaving Bay City? That would be great.
    Christy walks away as Felicia continues with Frankie. Eric tries to listen to their conversation as he sneaks over to wipe down a nearby table.
    Frankie: What are you doing?
    Felicia: I need to talk some sense into you. Doesn’t it occur to you that she might up something? I mean, she interrupted Charlie’s wedding reception.
    Frankie: I know exactly what she did, and she apologized.
    Felicia: My God! Frankie don’t tell me you’re falling for her act!
    Frankie: I’ve known Christy since we went to college together.
    Felicia: It wouldn’t be the first time she’s put on a performance.
    Frankie: I’m not gonna hear this right now.
    Felicia: You need to hear it Frankie. Christy is not the woman you went to school with. She is not the person she was before she met Cass. She’s a snake, and if you don’t keep an eye on her, she will bite you.
    K.C. walks up to Eric, inadvertently interrupting his attempt to eavesdrop, as Frankie walks out, and Felicia follows.
    K.C.: Hey there.
    Eric: Umm...hi.
    K.C.: I’m sorry about that my father interrupting. I think I was…
    Eric gives her his cell phone.
    Eric: Here. Put your number in it.
    K.C. smiles.
    Eric: So that guy is your father?
    K.C.: Yeah. He thinks he gonna play daddy after all these years.
    Eric (focused, not hearing what KC just said): He’s uh...cousins with Kirkland’s mom right?
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Vicky: Why is everyone so concerned about her?
    Donna: Did it even occur to you why Michele tore up the living room and smashed Bridget’s picture?
    Vicky: Whatever Michele has done, Reginald is responsible. He kept her away from us, God only knows what he did to her.
    Jake: I don’t think your grandfather has anything to do with this.
    Michael: They think Michele is harboring some type of anger.
    Vicky: Anger? Toward whom?
    Donna: Bridget is the object of Michele’s anger. Come on Victoria. Wake up! We’ve gotta do something! Do you want Michele to lock Bridget in a cold basement like Marley did to you?
    Jake: I think you should listen to her. Something is off about Michele.
    Vicky: Donna’s wrong! And you’re wrong, too Jake. If Michele’s angry, it’s because Reginald brainwashed her!
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    HOSPITAL EXAM ROOM - Lindsay, is sitting on a cushioned bench as Michele brings her a cup of water.
    Michele: Here take this. I hope it helps.
    Lindsay: Thank you.
    Michele: You looked like you were in a lot of pain. Are you alright?
    Lindsay: I’m fine...just some gas that’s all.
    Michele: For some reason I don’t believe you.
    Lindsay: Thanks for your concern but I’ve got it handled.
    Michele: I’m sorry. It just looked like you were in a lot of pain. Maybe you should see a doctor. My uncle John…
    Michele turns away from Lindsay realizing she might have slipped up.
    Lindsay: ...is a doctor. Dr. Hudson is your uncle?
    Michele: Well...you know...in the figurative sense.
    Lindsay: Where do you know John from?
    Michele: He’s...a friend of the family.
    Lindsay: Oh…
    Gregory walks in and Michele nervously notices her cousin who hit her with his car.
    Gregory: There you are. I was told I could find you here.
    They kiss.
    Lindsay: Hi…
    Gregory: What are you doing in an exam room?
    Lindsay: You know...the gas was bothering my stomach again.
    Gregory: The antacids must not have helped. Maybe you can talk to my dad.
    Lindsay: I really don’t think it’s that serious. Besides, I feel better, and this girl helped me.
    Gregory and Lindsay turn and face Michele, but they don’t know who she is.
    Gregory: Thank you.
    Michele: She looked she was in a lot of pain. I’m just glad I was here for you.
    Lindsay: And it was really sweet of you to stay with me. Thank you.
    Gregory: Hey I’m Greg.
    Lindsay: And my name’s Lindsay. It’s nice to meet you...uh…
    Lindsay extends her right hand to Michele, not knowing she’s met her half sister for the first time...

    Consultants: aMLCproductions, beebs, DRW50

    AT THE BLAKES - A fully dressed and seemingly focused Felicia (Linda Dano) walks into the living room and grabs her laptop. Mitch (William Espy) greets her.
    Mitch: Headed out?
    Felicia: Yes I have a meeting at Cory Productions.
    Mitch: To discuss your movie deal.
    Felicia: Yes.
    Felicia does not look at Mitch. She looks around, and sees her bracelet on the table. She goes to grab it and puts it on. Mitch comes up behind and starts to kiss her on her neck. Felicia starts to slow down and enjoy the kisses, but she refocuses and pulls away.
    Mitch: Can’t your agent go in your place?
    Felicia: I told him not to. I want to discuss this in person.
    Mitch: Well...okay, but hurry back. I want to spend some quality time with my lovely wife.
    Felicia: Of course.
    Mitch: Good luck.
    Felicia: Thank you honey.
    Felicia leaves and Mitch goes to his cell phone and makes a phone call.
    Mitch: Hey it’s Mitch. Just checking on you. I know you had a lot to drink at Kirk and Charlie’s wedding reception. Call me back.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    HUDSONS HOUSE - Sharlene (Anna Holbrook) comes downstairs as someone rings the doorbell. She puts her cell phone on the coffee table, closes her robe and opens the door for Frankie (Alice Barrett)
    Sharlene: Frankie!
    Frankie: Hi.
    They hug each other warmly.
    Sharlene: I’m so glad you came.
    Frankie: How’s my favorite aunt?
    Sharlene (sighing): I’m good. Come in. Do you want some tea?
    Frankie: No not right now.
    Sharlene: Are you sure?
    Frankie: I just came to see how you were doing.
    Sharlene: After my drunken rant at Charlie and Kirkland’s wedding. I owe you and Charlie a huge apology.
    Frankie: No no no it’s okay.
    Sharlene: I had a Sharly Watts moment.
    Frankie: Thank God she’s gone. Where’s John?
    Sharlene: He went to the hospital.
    Frankie gets up and walks toward the kitchen.
    Sharlene: I know what you’re going to make.
    Frankie: Do you have chamomile or green?
    Sharlene smiles.
    Sharlene: Chamomile.
    As Frankie walks away, Sharlene’s cell phone vibrates, alerting her of a voice mail. She listens to it and makes a phone call.
    Sharlene: Mitch its me. I’m doing fine. Really? She’s back? I’m gonna talk to Frankie about it. Oh Matthew’s back. You must be thrilled.
    Meanwhile, Frankie, unseen by Sharlene, is holding a tray with tea cups looking at Sharlene.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    CORY MANSION – Rachel (Victoria Wyndham) is in the living room as Matt (Matt Crane) walks in, and notices something…
    Matt: Mom.
    Rachel: Hiii honey. Nice of you to drop in.
    Rachel goes up and hugs Matt.
    Matt: Sorry I’ve been busy at the office.
    Rachel: When did you get back?
    Matt: A couple of days ago.
    Rachel: And you’re just now coming to see me? What kind of son are you?
    Matt: You’re sculpting.
    Rachel: You’ve always had a keen eye for the obvious.
    Matt: You only do that when something’s on your mind.
    Rachel: Something is on my mind actually.
    Matt: Care to talk about it?
    Cory (Drew Tyler Bell) walks in and interrupts.
    Cory: It’s because of me.
    Matt: Cory. Hey little bro.
    Cory: Hey Matt. Can I…talk to mom alone for a minute?
    Matt: Um I…may have an idea of what this is about.
    Cory: You do?
    Matt: About your dad.
    Rachel: Yes I…I told Matthew and Paulina where I was taking Carl.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    CORY PRODUCTIONS – Paulina (Judi Evans) walks into Amanda’s (Sandra Dee Robinson) office, while Amanda is engrossed with whatever is on her computer. Paulina nervously approaches her with papers.
    Paulina: Amanda.
    Amanda (not looking at Paulina): Hey.
    Paulina: You…need to see these. I was gonna wait until Matthew came back, but this can’t wait.
    Amanda still does not look at Paulina.
    Amanda: Okay leave them on my desk and I’ll take a look at them.
    Paulina: I got these off the printer. They didn’t do well at all.
    Paulina gives Amanda the papers.
    Amanda: These are the ratings for the show we produced for Webflix?
    Paulina: Yeah unfortunately.
    Amanda: This isn’t good at all.
    Paulina: The board is getting very antsy.
    Amanda: Oh they’ll be fine. I’m expecting Felicia to come by.
    Paulina: About the movie deal?
    Felicia knocks on the open door. She walks in but does not shut the door.
    Amanda: Hi Felicia. Come on in. Please have a seat.
    Felicia: Hi Paulina. Amanda.
    Paulina: Hi.
    Felicia: How’s Rachel doing these days? I’m sure she’s been great since Carl’s returned.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Rachel: I had to protect you and your sister.
    Cory: So everybody knew that my dad was in Monticello except for me?
    Rachel: No honey it wasn’t like that.
    Matt: Reginald Love was still out there, and he didn’t want anyone to know that he was alive, so mom couldn’t tell you where she took Carl. It would have put all of us in danger.
    Cory: But she told you and Paulina.
    Rachel: I could not have you coming to see him at the Cavanaugh Clinic. He had to get well. There’s no telling what Reginald would have done.
    Cory: You lied and said that he was in Springfield.
    Rachel: I never said that Carl was in Springfield. Wherever did you get that idea?
    Cory: We went there to look for dad, and we couldn’t find him.
    Rachel: We? Who did you go with?
    Cory: Iris.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Amanda: Mom seems fine, but you never really know with her.
    Felicia: I know…well let’s get down to business shall we? Do…you want to wait for Matthew to come?
    Paulina: No. Let’s get right to it.
    Amanda: I’ll inform him when he comes back to the office.
    Iris (Catherine Hickland) walks up to the door and decides to listen as she notices Felicia in the office.
    Felicia: Okay. Just so we’re clear, this is about me selling you the rights to three of my books, and make them into movies.
    Amanda: Yes of course.
    Felicia: Normally my agent would speak to you, but since we’re all friends I…I thought I would come here myself and talk terms. We got your initial bid, but my agent and I thought that your price was too low.
    Iris now listens intently.

    PART 2
    Rachel: I didn’t discuss Springfield with anyone except Matthew and Paulina.
    Cory: I don’t know how she found out.
    Rachel: She probably overheard us somehow.
    Matt: I’m surprised you would even be spending any time with Iris.
    Rachel: Me, too, given how she feels about your father.
    Cory: She really helped me get through that. You weren’t even returning any of my phone calls.
    Rachel: Honey, listen, I didn’t mean to make you worry, but I’m not going to apologize for protecting you.
    Matt: All that matters now is that your dad is home. Reginald is in Tanquir and everybody’s safe.
    Rachel: Are you still angry about it?
    Cory (smiling): No. Like you said, dad is back home and he’s well.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Carl (Charles Keating) is upstairs on his cell phone.
    Carl: I need to see you. I’m on my way.
    Carl hangs up the phone, grabs a tissue, and blots it against his right nostril, and he looks at the blood on the tissue.
    Carl: This can’t be happening again.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Frankie gently places the tray on the coffee table and sits next to Sharlene.
    Frankie: Who was that?
    Sharlene: That was Mitch.
    Frankie: Hmm.
    Frankie takes a sip of her tea.
    Sharlene: He was just checking on me.
    Frankie: That’s nice of him. Seems like you two have become friends.
    Sharlene: He helped me through the whole Janice thing, even when John didn’t. I’ll be forever grateful to him for that.
    Frankie: Yeah. You mentioned Matthew.
    Sharlene: Mitch said he was back in town.
    Frankie: Talk about gratitude.
    Sharlene: I bet you wanna talk to him.
    Frankie: He saved my life.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    THE CENTER - Felicia is walking when Iris walks up behind her.
    Iris: Felicia.
    Felicia turns around.
    Felicia: Hi Iris.
    Iris: Do you have a minute?
    Felicia: Thirty seconds.
    Iris: Oh this won’t take long.
    Felicia: I hope not.
    Iris: I hear you’re looking to turn three of your novels to movies.
    Felicia: How did you find out about that?
    Iris: I have my ways.
    Felicia: I have to leave.
    Iris: I’ll double what Cory Productions is paying you. Let KBAY produce your movies.
    Felicia laughs.
    Iris: Is something funny?
    Felicia: Rachel is one my dearest friends. Do you really think I would align with you on anything?
    Iris: This is business. This has nothing to do with Rachel.
    Felicia: But it has everything to do with you wanting to hurt Cory Productions, and I’m not going to be part of that.
    Felicia turns around to walk away…
    Iris: Triple.
    Felicia turns back around to face Iris.
    Iris: I will triple whatever Cory Productions is offering you. Talk to your agent. I’m sure he’ll tell you take my offer.
    Felicia: Forget it Iris. I’m not going to take your offer.
    Felicia walks away and Iris takes out her cell phone and makes a phone call.
    Iris: I need papers drawn up, and delivered to Felicia Gallant.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Rachel and Cory hug.
    Cory: Well I’m headed out.
    Rachel: Okay honey. I’ll see you later.
    Cory leaves Matt and Rachel in the living room.
    Matt: I’m gonna go to the office.
    Rachel: Matthew wait.
    Matt: What is it mom?
    Rachel: You were right about one thing. I am a bit worried.
    Matt: I thought it was about Cory.
    Rachel: No, it’s about his father. He hasn’t been quite himself since he’s been back.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ROOM - Carl sits on a chair and someone wearing a lab coat walks in walks in with x-rays.
    Carl: Thank you for making time for me doctor.
    The doctor turns the lights on, and places the x-rays on them. On the pocket of the lab coat, there is an ID tag that reads: Russell Matthews, MD (Jed Allan).

    AT THE WINTHROPS - Someone knocks on the door and Cass opens it. It’s Charlie.
    Cass: Heeeeey!!! You’re back!
    Charlie: Yep.
    Frankie walks in.
    Frankie: Hey honey!
    Cass: How was it?
    Charlie: Oh come on. You guys know how honeymoons go.
    Frankie: We sure do.
    Charlie: It was magical.
    Frankie: You didn’t wanna come back did you?
    Charlie: Kirkland and I could have laid there forever. It was like there was no world outside. Just us.
    Cass: I know that feeling.
    Frankie: You must have had a long flight. Are you hungry?
    Charlie: Not really. Thanks mom.
    Cass: Where’s Kirkland?
    Charlie: He went to see his father.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    GRANT’S HOUSE - Kirkland rings the doorbell and Christy answers.
    Christy: Hi Kirkland.
    Kirkland walks past Christy looking around.
    Kirkland: Where’s my dad?
    Christy: He’s getting dressed. You can wait for him.
    Kirkland: Are you dad’s housekeeper or something Christy?
    Christy: Far from that my dear.
    Kirkland: What are you doing here anyway? Especially after you crashed me and my wife’s wedding reception.
    Christy: Look I...I owe you an apology.
    Kirkland: You’re damned right. You and your creepy son.
    Christy: Eric is not creepy, and he had nothing to do with it. It was all my idea. I shouldn’t have done it.
    A fully dressed Grant walks in.
    Grant: Hey son! When did you get back?
    Kirkland: Couple hours ago. Dad can I speak to you for a minute?
    Christy: I’ll...go into the study.
    Kirkland and Grant look to make sure she’s out of sight, then Kirkland turns his attention to Grant.
    Kirkland: Dad what is she doing here?
    Grant: Can’t I be charitable?
    Kirkland: Charity? So you just gave this woman, who tormented Charlie’s parents, a place to live?
    Grant: Are you saying that I am not giving? I’ll have you know that I give to a lot of organizations.
    Kirkland: Yeah, especially to the ones that you can get a big tax write off for.
    Grant: Did you learn comedy on your honeymoon?
    Kirkland: Dad you never answered my question? What is Christy Carson doing here? I noticed you two made eye contact when she showed up uninvited at Tops.
    Grant: Son I can’t get into that right now.
    Kirkland: Come on dad. Are we gonna go down this road again? I read that her parole was denied. After that she gets out, and now she’s living here. What’s going on?
    Grant: She’s....helping me to get Paulina back.
    Kirkland: Are you on that again? Why would Christy help you to do that?
    Grant: Because I love Paulina. I never stopped.
    Kirkland: Nahhh there’s something more to it than that.
    Grant: I’ll have to tell you later son. Hey why don’t you go see your mother. I’m sure she’d be happy to see you.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    AT THE MCKINNONS - In front of the house, Jake, Vicky, Michael and Donna are all discussing Michele…
    Jake: Vicky are you serious?
    Vicky: Are you telling me that Reginald isn’t capable of poisoning her mind?
    Michael: He held me prisoner for over twenty years. He sure can brainwash my granddaughter.
    Donna (turning to Michael): For some reason, though, I don’t think that’s the case. Bridget did some questionable things that lead to Michele’s accident.
    Vicky: Yeah, she did.
    Michael: So that’s why you think Michele might be angry at Bridget. What do you think she’s gonna do?
    Donna: I have no idea, but I have a very bad feeling.
    Vicky: So you think that...Michele is gonna do something to Bridget, just like Marley did something to me?
    Donna: Yes, and we’ve got to stop it.
    Vicky: Michele is not gonna hurt her sister.
    Jake has a flashback..
    (EPISODE 184)
    Jake: It’s a long story honey, but it turns out that Lindsay Winthrop is my daughter.
    Michele: My goodness.
    Bridget: And she’s a deceitful lying little bitch, and I want nothing to do with her.
    Michele looks at Bridget, then looks at Jake.
    Michele: Well...I’d like to meet her.
    Jake flashes back to the present…
    Jake: Wait a minute. I know exactly where Michele is.
    They all follow Jake, and Bridget comes out, and follows everyone else.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    HOSPITAL EXAM ROOM - Michele is with Gregory and Lindsay…
    Gregory: Thank you.
    Michele: She looked she was in a lot of pain. I’m just glad I was here for you.
    Lindsay: And it was really sweet of you to stay with me. Thank you.
    Gregory: Hey I’m Greg.
    Lindsay: And my name’s Lindsay. It’s nice to meet you...uh…
    Lindsay extends her right hand to Michele, and Michele has a flashback (EPISODE 184).
    Jake: Um…
    Bridget: Lindsay came to Bay City and lied to all of us. She tried to be my friend, knowing all the while that she was my sister.
    Michele: Our sister?
    Jake: It’s a long story honey, but it turns out that Lindsay Winthrop is my daughter.
    Michele: My goodness.
    Bridget: And she’s a deceitful lying little bitch, and I want nothing to do with her.
    Michele looks at Bridget, then looks at Jake.
    Michele: Well...I’d like to meet her.
    Michele flashes back to the present.
    Michele: I’m Michele.
    Lindsay: Oh...nice to meet you.
    Gregory: I appreciate you being here for Lindsay.
    Michele: Oh it’s not problem.
    Michele tries to walk past them and Lindsay stops her as she approaches the door.
    Lindsay: Wait Michele. You said that John was your uncle.
    Gregory: My dad?
    Lindsay: Yeah. Who are you? Jake had a daughter named Michele..
    Michele: I really need to go.
    Lindsay grabs her arm before she can open the door.
    Lindsay: What kind of game are you playing?

    PART 2
    Cass: He went to see Grant? What’s the matter with him? He doesn’t wanna shoot the breeze with his in-laws?
    Charlie: He wants to see parents just as I want to see mine.
    Frankie: I’m sure we’ll all catch up later. When did you get back?
    Charlie: About a couple of hours ago.
    Cass puts his arm around Frankie’s shoulder.
    Charlie: So have you heard anything from Christy Carson since she showed up at the reception?
    Frankie: I’ve...I’ve seen her.
    Cass: What do you mean Frankie?
    Frankie: She asked to meet with me the other day.
    Charlie: Why?
    Frankie: She apologized for crashing the reception.
    Cass: I can’t believe you would even meet with her. Come on you’re not falling for this!
    Frankie: That’s what Felicia said.
    Cass: Christy is pulling you into her web.
    Frankie: I’m giving her a second chance Cass. Who am I to hold a grudge?
    Charlie: I wasn’t born yet when Christy did all those things to you, but, from what I heard, it was really bad mom. I think you need to be careful where she’s concerned.
    Cass: That’s what I’ve been trying to tell her, but she won’t listen.
    Frankie: Come on I wasn’t born yesterday. You think I don’t have questions myself? Her parole was denied, and then she was miraculously released.
    Cass: Makes you wonder doesn’t it?
    Frankie: Of course it does, and you guys are just gonna have to trust me. If Christy is up to something, I’m gonna find out what it is.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Christy creeps up to the living room and listens as Kirkland and Grant continue their conversation.
    Kirkland: I’ll see mom later. We’re talking about you and Christy.
    Grant: Listen I’ve told you everything that I’m going to tell you. The less you know, the better.
    Kirkland: You called in a favor didn’t you? You got the governor to pardon Christy of her crimes so she can help you get Paulina back? That’s a crock dad.
    Christy, while listening, has a flashback.
    (EPISODE 152)
    Christy: Eric, I’m so glad to see you! Did you do it?
    Eric: Yep. I got everything out of there. It wasn’t easy though.
    Christy: Oh my sweet boy. You sure know how to make your mama proud.
    Then she has another flashback...(EPISODE 155)
    Grant: I’m gonna ask you again, what happened to Scooter?
    Christy: He and I were good friends, and I’m gonna miss him dearly.
    Grant: What the hell are you talking about? I just talked to him about an hour ago.
    Christy: Well, Scooter had an unfortunate…occurrence. From what I heard, he just couldn’t take it anymore. He couldn’t stand the pressure of knowing what he knew, so he killed himself. Luckily for him, he had a friend like me, so what he knew, I now know.
    Grant: And just what is it that you think you have knowledge of?
    Christy: I know that it’s something you’ve been looking for, but that’s not all.
    Grant: I don’t think you have any idea who you’re trying to play games with.
    Christy: Oh. I know exactly who you are. You’re the very powerful, very wealthy, Grant Harrison. If you want something to happen, it usually does.
    Grant: I’m leaving.
    Grant turns to leave and then...
    Christy: I also know about your connection to Mary-Frances’s twin brother, and I know where the dossier is.
    Grant: It was you. Who did you order to break into my house?
    Christy: Now I’ve got your attention. I’m not gonna ask you for much...just one small favor...get me the hell out of here.
    Christy interrupts Grant and Kirkland’s conversation.
    Christy: Oh I’m sorry. I couldn’t help but overhearing. I am very grateful for your father helping me to get out of that facility. The least I could do is to help him get back the woman he loves.
    Kirkland looks back and forth at Grant and Christy.
    Kirkland: No...something’s not right here. This isn’t over dad.
    Kirkland leaves.
    Grant: He’s getting suspicious.
    Christy: That much I gathered.
    Grant: You’re gonna need to move out.
    Christy: I’d like a suite downtown.
    Grant: Whatever. I’ll make a call.
    Christy: You better throw Kirkland off our trail, because if you don’t, this could blow up in all of our faces. Where did he go anyway?
    Grant: I presume he went to tell his mother’s side of the family that he’s back in town.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Lindsay: I asked you a question.
    Gregory: How do you know my dad?
    Michele: I told her he was a friend of the family.
    Lindsay: You said he was your uncle, and you have the same name of my dead sister. Whatever game you’re playing, it’s very cruel.
    Michele: It’s not a game!
    Lindsay: Then what is this? Who are you?
    Jake, Vicky, Donna, and Michael walk in.
    Lindsay: Jake, what are you doing here?
    Jake goes directly to Michele.
    Jake: I knew you’d come here.
    Lindsay: You knew what? What’s going on?
    Donna and Michael also slowly approach Michele.
    Donna: Honey, what did you say to Lindsay?
    Michele: Why is everyone treating me like I’m fragile?
    Michael: Baby we’re just concerned.
    Michele: Nothing is wrong. I just came to see…
    Lindsay: Will someone tell me what the hell is going on?
    Jake: This is your sister Michele. Reginald changed her face. She knew who you were all along.
    Vicky: Why is everyone ganging up on her? You are acting as though she committed a crime. All she came to do is see Lindsay.
    Lindsay: No wonder she said John was her uncle.
    Gregory: My God...you’re...you’re alive. Wow.
    Lindsay suddenly doubles over in pain as she grabs her stomach. She notices blood on one of her thighs...and so does Gregory.
    Gregory: Lindsay?
    Jake: My God.
    Gregory: We’re going to see a doctor.
    Lindsay: I’m...fine.
    Gregory: This isn’t gas.
    Jake: What’s going on?
    Gregory: She’s been having stomach pains.
    Gregory, Lindsay, and Jake leave as Donna, Michael and Vicky continue to talk to Michele.
    Donna: Why don’t you come with us? We’ll take you home.
    Vicky: Why don’t we all go...and see if Jake needs anything.
    Michael: Honey we’ll be waiting by the elevators for you.
    Vicky: I love you.
    Donna: We all do.
    Michele: I’ll be right behind you.
    Michael, Vicky and Donna leave the exam room. Michele takes a deep breath, and walks to the door, but before she approaches it, Bridget walks in and locks it.
    Michele: I was leaving.
    Bridget: No...not yet.
    Michele: Everybody’s waiting for me.
    Bridget: You’re gonna tell me what you’re up to.
    Michele: Are you sure you wanna do this now?
    Bridget: Yes Michele...now.

    Part 1



    AT STACEY’S APARTMENT



    Stacey is sitting on the couch on her cell phone…



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



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



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



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



    HOSPITAL



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



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



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



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




    Gregory: Let’s not jump to any conclusions.



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



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



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



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



    Vicky: Hey.



    Jake: Hi.



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



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



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



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



    Vicky: Nobody said you shouldn’t be.



    Jake: I love all of my children.



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



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



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



    Michael: Any news on Lindsay?



    Vicky: No.



    Donna: Well where’s Jake?



    Vicky: He just went in there with her.



    Donna: Did anyone call Stacey?



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



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



    Vicky: My thoughts exactly.



    Michael: Donna you’re not being fair.



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



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



    Donna: You’re in denial Victoria.



    Michael sighs.



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



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



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



    EXAM ROOM



    Bridget and Michele face off.



    Michele: Everybody’s waiting for me.



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



    Michele: Are you sure you wanna do this now?



    Bridget: Yes Michele...now.



    Michele: OMG Bridget.



    Bridget: What are you up to?



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



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



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



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



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



    Bridget: I did some terrible things but…



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



    Michele: You’ve always been jealous of me.



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



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



    Michele turns back around to face Bridget.



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

    PART 2



    HOSPITAL



    Donna, Vicky, and Michael, face Stacey.



    Michael: Stacey.



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



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



    Stacey: Where is she? Where is my daughter?



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



    Donna: Michael!



    Michael: What?



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



    Stacey: Vicky this isn’t about you.



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



    Michael: Will you two cut it out?!



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



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



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



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



    Donna: We’ll be right here honey.



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



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



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



    Meanwhile, Jake and Gregory are with Lindsay.



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



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



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



    Stacey walks in.



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



    Lindsay: We...don’t know.



    Stacey: Did they run any tests?



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



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



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



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



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



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



    Jake: No...it’s Michele.



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



    Jake: What’s going with my daughter?



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



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



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



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



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



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



    Meanwhile, Donna and Michael continue their conversation.



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



    Michael: Stacey and I were friends.



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



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



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



    Michael: But you still hate Stacey.



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



    Bridget: You have every right to be angry.



    Michele: You’re damned right I do.



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



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



    Bridget: You need help.



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



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



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



    Bridget: What? I’m not doing anything!



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



    Vicky: What’s going on?



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



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



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



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



    Bridget: My God she’s such a liar!



    Vicky now turns to face Bridget...



    Vicky: Shut up!



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



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



    Bridget: She’s the crazy one!



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



    Vicky hugs Michele.



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



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

    AT THE MONTGOMERYS

    Allen Love pays a visit. After Marley lets him in and shuts the door, he escorts her to the couch in the living room. They both sit down…


    Allen: You need to close that window.



    Marley: It’s a nice night. I wanted to feel the breeze.



    Allen: I guess so, being that you can’t really get out.



    Marley: It is so good to see you. It’s been a while.



    Allen: Donna told me that you were on bed rest so I didn’t want to interrupt that.



    Marley: Oh you know that you’re always welcome here.



    Allen: I don’t know if my brother sees it that way.



    Marley: You know I’d really would like if you two would mend fences, preferably before my son enters the world.



    Allen: From the looks of things that’s gonna happen very soon.



    Marley: Yeah Roman is coming. The newest addition to our crazy family.



    Allen: That little one in your stomach isn’t the only one.



    Marley: Vicky called and told me. Michele’s back.



    Allen: That’s amazing. I’m sure Vicky and Jake are happy.



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



    EXAM ROOM



    Jake, Stacey and Gregory await Lindsay’s prognosis from John.



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



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



    Jake: Cancer?



    Stacey: She’s too young for that.



    John: We can’t tell right now, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to jump to that conclusion.



    Gregory: What did you find dad?



    John: Lindsay you have unusually large polyps on your uterus. I’ve scheduled you for an emergency biopsy. I’m gonna need to get you prepped.



    Stacey: We’ll be right here honey. We’re not going anywhere.



    John: You all can wait in the waiting area for her.



    Gregory: I’m gonna be here when you get out of the O.R. okay.



    Lindsay: Of course.



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



    OUTSIDE OF LINDSAY’S ROOM



    Stacey, Jake, and Gregory walk up to Donna and Michael.



    Donna: Jake, Vicky went to see about Michele.



    Michael: How’s Lindsay?



    Stacey: She’s...being prepped for a biopsy. My miracle baby can’t have cancer.



    Jake: We don’t know that yet Stacey. Let’s wait until after the procedure.



    Donna: I...hope Lindsay’s gonna be okay.



    Stacey: I’m going to the waiting room.



    Gregory: I’m going with you.



    As Stacey and Gregory walk away, Vicky walks up with Michele and her bandaged left arm, with Bridget right behind them.



    Jake: Michele, what happened to your arm?



    Vicky: Good I’m glad you’re here.



    Bridget: I didn’t do anything. Michele did this to herself.



    Vicky: Stop lying!



    Jake: Bridget what are you doing here. I thought you were at home.



    Michael: Michele just tell us what happened.



    Michele: I was…gonna come out of the room when Bridget came in. She grabbed the scissors and charged at me. I put my arm to block…



    Bridget: Oh my God!



    Michele: And she cut my arm.



    Michele beings to make like she’s going to cry.



    Michele: All I want to do is be sisters. Why do you hate me so much?



    Bridget shakes her head in disbelief.



    Michael: Bridget honey. Did you do that? Did you attack your sister?



    Bridget: Don’t tell me you guys believe her? I would never do that.



    Michele: Mom can you take me home please?



    Vicky: Of course honey.



    Jake: Not so fast.

    Marley: I need to call Vicky and get Michele’s cell phone number. I wanna talk to her. So tell me, what’s going on with you? I heard we got another addition to the family.



    Allen: K.C.?



    Marley: Yes.



    Allen: Toni and Etta Mae lied to me and her.



    Marley: I’m surprised to hear that Toni would keep you from your own daughter. Not so much from Etta Mae.



    Allen: I heard about what happened back then.



    Marley: She tried to keep me and Tyrone apart.



    Allen: But she didn’t. He loves you Marley.



    Marley: I know that now, more than ever. We almost didn’t make it.



    Allen: Listen cuz, stop thinkin’ like that. We got one crazy ass family, but we’re gonna be there for each other.



    Marley: You know what...positive thoughts only.



    Allen: That’s it cuz. We gon’ think the best, especially for Roman.



    Marley (looking away): Right.



    Allen: So why aren’t you convincing me?



    Marley: I can’t help but to think what our grandfather has up his sleeve.



    Allen: He’s in Tanquir. He can’t do anything to us. We won’t let him.



    Suddenly they hear a noise...



    Marley: What was that?



    Allen: That’s why I told you to close that window.



    Allen opens the door and looks outside.



    Allen: Who’s there?



    To Allen’s right, Joy hides, unseen, behind the bushes.

    HOSPITAL WAITING ROOM



    Gregory is with Stacey…



    Stacey: This isn’t fair.



    Gregory: She had been having pains in her stomach. She told me it was just gas.



    Stacey: Lindsay’s always trying to be strong.



    Gregory: That’s what I love about your daughter.



    Stacey: Lindsay is my miracle baby. After I lost my first baby I thought I couldn’t have children. I can’t lose her to cancer.



    Gregory: We’re not gonna lose her Stacey. Whatever my dad says it is, we’re gonna get through it. We’re gonna be there for Lindsay.



    Stacey: Damned right! Thank you.



    Gregory: For what?



    Stacey: Loving my daughter. I’m glad she has you in her life. Means a lot to me.



    Stacey’s eyes begin to well up, and Gregory holds her.



    Gregory: We’re gonna be okay. Everything’s gonna work out the way it’s supposed to.



    Meanwhile, John walks up in his scrubs and mask, unseen by Stacey and Gregory, and sees them embrace.



    John: Hi.



    Stacey: Oh...uh...John. How’s Lindsay?



    John: She’s in the recovery room. We got a couple of samples from the polyps. They’re running tests now. She’ll be sleeping through the night, so why don’t you guys go home, get some sleep and...come back in the morning. We’ll know more by then.



    Gregory: You mean...if she has cancer.



    Stacey: We’re not gonna think that way. We’re gonna wait till morning. Did you tell Jake?



    John: I didn’t see him.



    Stacey: He might be checking up on Michele.



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



    Jake: I wanna know exactly what went on in that room.



    Vicky: Michele just told you. Bridget attacked her.



    Bridget: I didn’t do anything! She did this to herself!



    Jake: She cut herself?



    Bridget: Come on dad. You’ve gotta believe me. Michele has been acting weird since she got back.



    Donna: This is all so strange.



    Jake (looking at Michele): Very.



    Michele: Dad, you know Bridget was jealous of me before the accident, and it seems like she still is.



    John interrupts them all and approaches Jake.



    John: I’m sorry. Jake I have news about Lindsay.



    Jake: Okay.



    John: Let’s go to my office.



    Michael: I think we all should go home. It’s been quite a night.



    Vicky: I agree. Let’s go Michele.



    Bridget: I’ll be along later.



    Vicky: No you won’t.



    Bridget: What?



    Vicky: I don’t want you anywhere near Michele.



    Donna: Victoria what are you saying?



    Vicky: Bridget can go home with you. I want her out of my house.

    Rachel
    walks in and gets some fruit off the tray table and sees Cory on his phone with his headsets on, so she goes and removes them.


    Cory: Mom! I was just about to get to the next level.



    Rachel: I think your fingers are glued to that phone.



    Cory: Oh you’re just old.



    Rachel: I beg your pardon. I’m still your mother.



    Cory: Sorry mom.



    Rachel: You and those games. Have you spoken to Michele yet?



    Cory: No.



    Rachel: I think you need to speak with her about you and Bridget. You two have been getting closer. I noticed you two at the wedding. You need to be careful.



    Cory: About what?



    Rachel: Michele’s returned, and she may think that there’s still a chance for you and her. You don’t want to be the one to drive a wedge between sisters.



    Cory: Not gonna do that.



    Rachel: Just be careful okay. Have you seen your father?



    Cory (putting his headsets back on): Nope.



    Rachel: He left early. What the hell is going on with him?

    ROOM



    Carl
    looks at his right arm, which has an IV in it. Dr. Russ Matthews walks in and injects something into Carl’s IV.


    Russ: How you feelin?



    Carl: As well as can be expected.



    Russ: Well I hope this is making you feel more comfortable.



    Carl sighs.



    Carl: Physically yes. Emotionally not so much.



    Russ: I’m very sorry Carl. I know Rachel and your children just got you back.



    Carl: And now I have a brain tumor that was more aggressive than before.



    Russ: You need to tell Rachel soon. Don’t let it linger too long.



    Carl: I’m well aware of that Dr. Matthews. I can’t tell my wife just yet. I want to bond with my family as much as possible.



    Russ: Your wife is your family. It starts with her.



    Carl: I have to make things right with all of my family members.



    Carl picks up the cell phone with left hand and dials a number.

    AT THE WINTHROPS



    Frankie
    answers her cell phone.


    Frankie: Hello? Carl hi. Uh Cass and I are about to go to the hospital. I suppose we could stop by after that. Okay. See ya later.



    Frankie hangs up as Cass
    enters the living room, fully dressed. Cass is wearing a gray suit with a black tie and Frankie is wearing a bold pink dress.


    Cass: Who was that on the phone?



    Frankie: That was Carl. He wants us to stop by the Corys later.



    Cass: I wonder why.



    Frankie (looking around the living room): I dunno. Did I leave my compact in the bedroom?



    Cass: Which one?



    Frankie: My pink one.



    Cass: I think I know where the one with the MFF.



    Frankie: That’s the red one.



    Cass: Why do you need that many compacts when you can just use the camera on your phone to do your make up?



    Frankie: It’s a woman thing. You won’t understand.



    Cass: I’ve dressed in drag before.



    Frankie: So not the same.



    Cass: So not modern. Use the camera.



    Frankie: I happen to like my compacts.



    Cass: One to match the color of your clothing?



    Frankie: Like I said, it’s a woman thing.



    Cass: And I love every girly girl part of you.



    Frankie: And to think I used to be a tomboy.



    Cass: Hmm.



    They kiss each other, but stop immediately.



    Frankie: Did you call Charlie?



    Cass: Yeah she and Kirkland are gonna meet us there.



    They walk toward the door to leave.



    Frankie: Oh yeah. I almost forgot our daughter was married.



    Cass: Come on let’s go see Lindsay.



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



    HOSPITAL



    Lindsay
    is lying in bed. She wakes up and sees Gregory and Stacey standing over her.


    Lindsay (groggy): Whoa...that was a great dream I was having. What happened?



    Stacey: You had a biopsy last night.



    Gregory: My dad told us to come back in the morning, and here we are.



    Lindsay: Thank you.



    Stacey: Of course honey where else would we be?



    Gregory: I’m not going anywhere.



    John
    walks in.


    Stacey: John?



    John: We have the results of the biopsy. We took three samples of the polyps and tested them. They were benign.



    Stacey, Gregory and Lindsay all smiles.



    Stacey: Thank God!



    Gregory: That’s great.



    Lindsay: Oh wow. I was...I was thinking the worst. Thank you John.



    John: I don’t think you want to thank me just yet.



    Lindsay: What do you mean?



    John: Those polyps can turn malignant, and they’re very large and they need to be removed.



    Lindsay: Well let’s schedule the surgery to remove them.



    John: Yes we have to remove them, but to do that, due to the size of the polyps, we will have to remove your entire uterus.



    Stacey’s joy at the news of non cancer, quickly turns to concern just as Cass, Frankie, Kirkland
    and Charlie walk in.


    Lindsay: Hi everybody.



    Stacey: John...no...she’s too young…



    Cass: Stacey...is everything okay?



    Frankie: Lindsay?



    John: I’m sorry Lindsay. For you to reduce your risk of getting cancer, we will have to do a full hysterectomy.



    Charlie: Oh my God.



    Kirkland: Is there anything you want us to do?



    Lindsay’s eyes well up with tears.



    Lindsay: John if...if I have this hysterectomy I...I won’t be able to have children.

    Part 2



    HOSPITAL



    Outside Lindsay’s room, Kirkland and Charlie talk about Lindsay. Kirkland holds Charlie from behind.



    Charlie: I feel so bad for her.



    Kirkland: I know babe.



    Charlie: She’s gotta get a full hysterectomy or basically she’s gonna die. She’s too young for this.



    Kirkland: We’re all gonna be here for her right?



    Charlie: It’s not fair. This isn’t fair Kirkland.



    Kirkland: You’re right. It’s not.



    Charlie: I wonder if Gregory still wants to be with her. He can’t give her a baby.



    Kirkland: If that’s the determining factor then she doesn’t deserve him.



    Charlie turns around and faces Kirkland.



    Charlie: What would happen if...we found out I couldn’t have children?



    Kirkland: Why would you even ask such a question? We would find other ways to have children. I love you Charlie.



    Cass walks up to them.



    Cass: Good answer Harrison.



    Cass then walks away with Frankie right behind him.



    Frankie: What are we gonna do Cass?



    Cass: All we can do is support them.



    Frankie: It’s so devastating. I mean Lindsay’s still young, and she has to have a hysterectomy. Either she can’t have children, or the polyps turn malignant and she dies. Why is this happening to her? Why is the universe treating her like this?



    Cass: I’m gonna assume that’s a rhetorical question.



    Frankie: She’s your niece.



    Cass: You can’t expect me to have answers to anything cosmic.



    Frankie: Come on Cass. She’s so young and gets this type of news. I wish I could fix it for her.



    Cass: All we can do is let her know that we love her and that we’re here.



    Gregory walks up to them...a bit dejected.



    Cass: Gregory how is she?



    Gregory: Devastated.



    Frankie: Why aren’t you in there with her?



    Gregory: She wanted to talk to her mom alone.



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



    INSIDE LINDSAY’S ROOM



    Stacey is clenching Lindsay’s right hand as Lindsay lies on the bed. Lindsay’s eyes are full of tears.



    Stacey: You know there are other ways you can have children. You can adopt.



    Lindsay: How did you feel when you carried me? After all those years you thought you couldn’t have children.



    Stacey: You are my miracle baby.



    Lindsay: There are no miracles for me! If I have this hysterectomy, I live, but I can’t have children. If I don’t have it, I could die. What am I supposed to do mom?



    Stacey: I...I don’t know.



    Lindsay: Exactly.



    Stacey: Honey I...I’m so grateful that I gave birth to you, but natural child birth doesn’t make you a mother. There a lot of women who have delivered normally and can’t be mothers to those children. This is where you come in. Many children need homes; they need mothers who will love them and care for them. When you’re ready to be that, you can be it. It’s not about keeping a man in your life. If a man can’t accept you for who you are, then you don’t need him honey. You’re my baby. I love you so much, but it’s not the end of the world. Your life can go on. You can be happy...and you can have a family, but you’ve gotta be here to do it.



    Lindsay: You want me to have the surgery.



    Stacey: I want you to live. I want you to be happy. That is all I care about, and that’s all you should care about.



    John walks in.



    John: Hi. We haven’t got much time.



    Lindsay looks at Stacey, and looks back at John.



    Lindsay: I’m gonna have the surgery. Do it.



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



    Two hospital workers wheel Lindsay, who is lying on a gurney, up to Cass, Frankie, Gregory, Charlie, and Kirkland, with Stacey walking next to the bed at the same pace of the workers. John is right behind Stacey.



    Gregory: Hey...are you alright?



    Lindsay: Yeah. I’m gonna have the surgery.



    Charlie: How do you feel?



    Lindsay looks at Stacey, smiles nervously, and looks back at Charlie.



    Lindsay: I’ll die if I don’t have it.



    Stacey: We’re gonna be right here when you get out of surgery.



    Cass: You’re right. The Winthrops stick together.



    Gregory kisses Lindsay on her lips.



    Gregory: I love you baby.



    John: You ready?



    Lindsay sighs.



    Lindsay: Let’s do it.



    The workers and John wheel Lindsay away to prep her for surgery as Stacey watches them. Cass comforts her.



    Cass: She’s gonna get through it Stace.



    Stacey: It’s like you just said. We’re Winthrops. We stick together right?



    Cass: Right.



    Cass embraces Stacey and he turns to Frankie.



    Cass: Are you gonna go see Carl?



    Frankie: Come on Cass, I’m not leaving until Lindsay’s out of surgery. I’ll see Carl after that.



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



    Russ: Who was that on the phone?



    Carl: I just called my daughter Frankie.



    Russ: What do you have to make right with her?



    Carl: I’ve done a lot of regrettable things in my life. It’s almost like this is some sort of payback.



    Russ: I don’t know if I’d look at it quite that way. You still have a chance to make things right with everyone because...



    Carl: I don’t have much time left.



    Russ: If there was something that we could do, we’d do it.



    Carl: I understand. It’s inoperable.



    Russ: And you need...to tell...Rachel.



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



    Cory: Where did he go?



    Rachel: He said he had something to take care of.



    Cory: Why didn’t he tell you what it was?



    Rachel: I’m not sure Cory.



    Cory: Is dad up to his old tricks?



    Rachel: Oh we’re not going down this road again are we?



    Cory: No mom. It’s just dad does these strange things all the time.



    Rachel: I’m gonna find out what it is.



    Rachel goes upstairs while someone rings the doorbell.



    Cory: Mom can you get it?



    Cory hears no response, so he reluctantly goes to answer the door.



    Cory: Why couldn’t she answer the door? She was right there.



    Cory opens and is surprised at the visitor.



    Cory: Michele?

    Vicky
    opens the door and sees Steven.


    Vicky: Hey honey come on in.



    Steven: I see you got everything cleaned up.



    Vicky: Yeah.



    Steven: Why are all these suitcases here?



    Vicky: Because Donna is coming to get Bridget.



    Steven: Mom not again.



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



    Steven: Did you kick her out?



    Vicky turns around.



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



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



    Bridget
    appears at the top of the stairs.


    Steven: Where’s Michele?



    Vicky: She went out.



    Steven: Can you tell me where?



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



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



    CORY MANSION



    Cory
    and Michele are in the living room.


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



    Michele: I’m fine. Never better.



    Cory: Good.



    Michele: How’s...everything here?



    Cory: Everything’s good.



    Michele: How’s your relationship with my sister?



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



    Michele: When were you gonna tell me Cory?



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



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



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



    Michele: I wonder how she did it.



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



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



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



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



    Cory: What?



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



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



    CAR



    Michael
    is driving with Donna.


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



    Michael: I don’t agree.



    Donna: How could you not Michael?



    Michael: Maybe it’s best for now.



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



    BAY CITY CENTER



    Jake
    sits at a table and has a flashback.


    (Episode 180 at Kirkland and Charlie’s wedding)



    Jake: Vicky I’m not doing this here.



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



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



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



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



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



    Then he has another flashback (Episode 184)



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



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



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



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



    Jake: What the hell am I gonna do?



    Then suddenly, Paulina
    touches Jake’s right shoulder.


    Paulina: How about talking to an old friend?



    Jake looks up and smiles.



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

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



    Michael: Where’s Bridget?



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



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



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



    Michael: This is when you need your family here.



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



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



    Cory: What did you just say?



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



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



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



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



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



    Cory: Are you sure?



    Michele: I’m totally cool with it.



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



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



    Cory: If you...say so.



    Michele: Why don’t you believe me?



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



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



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



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



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



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



    Cory: How is she?



    Michele: I’m about to find out.



    Cory: Hey Michele...thank you.



    Michele: Anytime Cory.



    Michele leaves and after Cory shuts the door…



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



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



    BACK AT THE MCKINNONS…



    Steven: Is Michele okay?



    Vicky: She’s fine.



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



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



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



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



    Steven: Sure thing.



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



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



    Vicky: Hmm let’s see...no.



    Donna: You’re making a mistake.



    Vicky: I have a lot going on Donna.



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



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



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



    Jake: What’s not going on?



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



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



    Paulina: What do you mean?



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



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



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



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



    Jake smiles.



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



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



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



    Paulina sighs almost in agreement.



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



    Jake: Right.



    Paulina then flashes a smile.



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



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



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



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

    Gregory: She looks so beautiful when she sleeps.



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



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



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



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



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



    Lindsay opens her eyes slowly.



    Lindsay: Mom.



    Stacey: Honey hi.



    Gregory: Hey babe. How you feelin’?



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

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


    Jake: Appreciate that.



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



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



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



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



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



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



    They both laugh.



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



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



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



    Jake: Have you called him?



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



    Jake: His wife?



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



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



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



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



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



    Jake: You? Naaaah.



    Paulina: We kissed.



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



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



    Jake: Carly will only do what Jack allows.



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



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



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



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

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



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



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



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



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



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



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



    Jake: That was different.



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



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



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



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



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



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

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



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



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



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



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



    (EPISODE 185)



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



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



    Paulina: Bitch!



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



    Paulina: Jack wait. Don’t go.



    Jack: I gotta talk to her.



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



    Paulina pulls Jack into a passionate kiss.



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



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



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



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


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



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



    Kirkland: Dad.



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



    Grant: Son. Hi.



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



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



    Kirkland watches the publicist leave and he turns to Grant.



    Kirkland: So?



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



    Kirkland: Like I thought.



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



    Kirkland is stunned by Grant’s admission.



    Kirkland: You...surprise me sometimes.



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



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



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



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



    AT THE HOSPITAL...



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


    Charlie: These are from Kirkland and me.



    Lindsay: Thank you. Where did he go?



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



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



    Gregory: My mom witnessed a shooting.



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



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



    Lindsay gives a tight smile.



    Lindsay: Yeah thanks.



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



    Stacey: Oh. Gonna go see Rachel?



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



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



    Cass: We’ll see ya kid.



    Charlie: Love you.



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



    Jake: Hey. How’s my kid?



    Lindsay: I’m kinda tired.



    Jake: Yeah you just had surgery.



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



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



    OUTSIDE OF LINDSAY’S ROOM



    Jake: How is she?



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



    Jake: What did John say?



    Stacey: They had to do an emergency full hysterectomy.



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



    Stacey: Right.



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



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



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

    CORY MANSION



    Outside the front door, Frankie
    rings the doorbell as she waits with Cass and Charlie.


    Frankie: I wonder what Carl wanted.



    Cass: Maybe he wants to get to know his daughter.



    Charlie: And his granddaughter.



    Frankie: I’ve been bad. I haven’t even reached out to him since he got back.



    Cass: Maybe this is the perfect opportunity for you to bond.



    Matt
    opens the door, and Frankie hugs him.


    Matt: Wow...what was that for?



    Frankie: I never thanked you did I?



    Matt: For what?



    Frankie: I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you.



    Carl
    and Rachel walk up to them.


    Carl: Thank God.



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



    BAY CITY CENTER



    Reporters gather and set near their chairs while Grant
    is near the podium. He is signaled by Christy. They slink off into a secluded corner.


    Grant (whispering): What the hell is wrong with you? We can’t be seen together!



    Christy: Is that any way to treat the lady who’s gonna get your lady for you?



    Grant: I have a press conference shortly. What is it?



    Christy: This is everything.



    Grant: Everything?



    Christy: Everything you’re going to need to get Jack away from Paulina.



    Christy gives him a jump drive.



    Christy: I had all the evidence moved to this.



    Grant: Hmm. How do I know this is what I’m looking for?



    Christy: Well you’ll need to look at it won’t you? Hurry, you’ve got a press conference coming up.



    Christy sneaks away unseen by anyone.



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



    POLICE STATION



    Paulina
    walks into Jack’s office.


    Jack: Hi. Sorry. I didn’t mean to keep you waiting. Just making all the detail was in place for Grant’s press conference at the Center.



    Paulina: Right.



    Paulina sighs nervously.



    Paulina: So...what did you want to see me about? Could it have something to do with our kiss?



    Jack closes the door and pulls Paulina into a kiss.



    Jack: Now...what was that you asked me?



    They continue to kiss, then Paulina stops him.



    Jack: Hey. Is everything okay?



    Paulina has a flashback while looking at Jack’s face.



    (EPISODE 195)



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



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



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



    Paulina flashes back to the present.



    Paulina: We can’t do this. This isn’t right.

    PART 2



    Grant is back at home, and he plugs in the contents of the jump drive that Christy gave him at the Center...and grins with pleasure...with Christy in the background.



    Grant: Gotcha Jack.



    Christy: What’s your next move?



    Grant: You first.



    Christy: Well you know I can’t do that. You’ll have to wait just like everybody else.



    Grant: Just know that whatever Jack and Paulina think they have, it’s going to be over.



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



    Jack: What do you mean?



    Paulina: I’ve been doing some thinking. You’re still married to Carly.



    Jack: On paper.



    Paulina: And you two have a long history together.



    Jack: So do we.



    Paulina: And you have two daughters. I can’t come between everything you have with Carly.



    Jack: This is a competition?



    Paulina: You still love her don’t you?



    Jack: A part of me is always gonna love Carly.



    Paulina: Is the same part thinking about going back to her?



    Jack: Where am I?



    Paulina: Here.



    Jack: Yes...with you. That’s who I wanna be with...you.



    Paulina smiles.



    Jack: Carly is the mother of my children, but you are the woman I...I love.



    Paulina: Jack? Did you just say…?



    Jack: Paulina Cory Carlino, I love you.



    They kiss.



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



    AT THE CORYS…



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



    Carl: Thank you for coming Frankie. Glad you’re here, too Cass. Charlie, my beautiful granddaughter.



    Frankie sighs nervously.



    Frankie: I’m glad you called, but I can’t help but wondering what this might be about.



    Cass: After all this time, you called Frankie to come over.



    Carl: I owe you an apology. I owe you both...an apology.



    Frankie: I don’t understand.



    Carl: I caused a lot of pain in your lives in the past...with what I did to Kathleen McKinnon.



    Frankie: Especially the first time we met.



    Carl: I threatened Cass’s life.



    Cass: Well Carl I can speak for Frankie and myself on that. We forgive you.



    Carl: You just never know when...when you're time is. So you want to spend as much time as possible with the people you love. However, there’s something else. I wasn’t here for you when that stalker tried to kill you.



    Matt: We’ll leave you three alone.



    Rachel: I have some errands to run.



    Frankie: No please. Stay...both of you, especially you Matt, and you, too Rachel. I wouldn’t have been able to reunite with Cass.



    Frankie clenches Cass’s right hand.



    Frankie: I wouldn’t have been able to see Charlie get married. I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you.



    Matt: Frankie you don’t have to…



    Frankie: Yes, Matt, I do. I never thanked you and Rachel...for saving my life.



    Rachel: Dr. Wu saved your life. He gave you a life saving injection.



    Matt: He came from Salem. I called him right before mom and I walked the grounds.



    Rachel: I heard you screaming.



    Matt: We both did, but I didn’t want mom in danger, so I told her it was our old dog Adelaide.



    Rachel: We had to let everything play out.



    Matt: As we walked toward the ice house I knew the stalker was near when we heard him slam the door.



    Frankie then begins to recall the events of that horrific night.



    Frankie: I confronted him, and ripped his mask off. I couldn’t believe it was him. Then...I begged him not to kill me.



    After Fax tried to kill me, I was only able to carve part of an F in the rock. After I hunched over, I felt an injection, but I.... I couldn’t move, but I was alive. I couldn’t say anything, I couldn’t do anything.



    Matt: The drug that Dr. Wu gave you gives you the appearance that you were dead.



    Rachel: It also slowed down your pulse.



    Cass starts to rub Frankie back in support.



    Cass: I was frantic. I knew you were in danger. I had no idea what to do.



    Frankie: I’m so sorry Cass that I put you through that.



    Cass: You didn’t do anything wrong honey.



    Frankie: I heard you in the morgue when you were holding me. You told Felicia that you wanted to take me home. She and John talked you out of it, but I heard everything you said. Cass: Rachel, if you knew Frankie was alive, then why didn’t you tell us?



    Charlie: Dad was devastated. I was, too. Why didn’t you say anything?



    Rachel: Charlie, honey, If Fax had found out that your mother was still alive, he probably would have come after her or your father, or even you.



    Matt: We couldn’t take that risk.



    Rachel: Shortly after that, he was captured.



    Cass: But Frankie you didn’t come back.



    Matt: Fax Newman came from a very rich and powerful family.



    Rachel: And a corrupt onee. We didn’t want to risk them doing anything to you because of their son.



    Charlie: But you did come back...as Anne O’Donnell.



    Matt: His family died before 1999, and it was safe for Frankie to come back.



    Carl: And I’m very happy about that.



    Carl gets an alert on his cell phone.



    Carl: I’ll be right back. I have to take this.



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



    OUTSIDE THE LIVING ROOM



    Carl leaves through the glass double doors and looks at the alert on his cell phone which reads: TRANSFER COMPLETE. Then he makes a phone call.

    Grant: You should call first.



    Christy: I still have a key.



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



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



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



    Christy: I kept my word didn’t I?



    Grant: Yes you did. I’m impressed.



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



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



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



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

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



    Charlie: Mom...

    PART 2



    AT THE CENTER



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


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



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



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



    Christy: Hi honey.



    Eric (a bit startled): Mom.



    Christy: You don’t have your smock on.



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



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



    Eric goes a table and wipes it down.



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



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



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



    Charlie walks in and sees Eric and Christy.



    Christy: I thought we were past this.



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



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



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



    Felicia
    comes in and joins Charlie.


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



    Charlie: Whatcha doin’ down here?



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



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



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



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



    Felicia notices Christy and Eric.



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



    Meanwhile, Eric and Christy continue.



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



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



    Eric walks past the counter to the back.



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



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



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



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



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



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



    Christy: Are you talking about Cass and Mary Frances?



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



    Felicia leaves...and Christy watches.



    Christy: Time to get Felicia out of the way.



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

    AT PAULINA’S HOUSE



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



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



    Jack: I couldn’t wait any longer.



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



    Jack: And what’s that?



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



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



    Paulina: And I loved it.



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



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



    Jack: Round two?



    Paulina: Yeah.



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



    Grant: Beginning of the end.



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



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



    Rachel: Carl I asked you a question.



    Carl: Darling you worry too much.



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



    Carl: I was calling Elizabeth. Checking on her.



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



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



    Rachel: Don’t I know it.



    Carl: Well I’m gonna head upstairs.



    Rachel: I’m gonna see Cass and Frankie.

    PART 1



    BAY CITY CENTER



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


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



    Felicia: Iris.



    Mason: Well did you see it?



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



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



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



    Mason: This isn’t about personal relationships Felicia.



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



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



    Felicia: I’m not doing it.



    Mason: It’s a very lucrative offer.



    Felicia: Why would Iris overpay to produce these films?



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



    Felicia: I do.



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



    Felicia: I know I know.



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



    Felicia: I will call you later.



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


    Iris: What did she say?



    Mason: She’s gonna consider it.



    Iris: I need her name on the dotted line.



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



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



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



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



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



    MEANWHILE….



    Cory
    sits at a table and Bridget meets him.


    Cory: Hey there.



    Cory kisses her and Bridget sits down across from him.



    Bridget: What’s up?



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



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



    Cory smiles.



    Cory: Hmmm.



    Bridget: What time does it start?



    Cory: About an hour.



    Bridget: Well this’ll be a good getaway.



    Cory: Let me guess...your mom.



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



    Cory: The cycle never ends.



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



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



    Bridget: Lindsay and Michele.



    Cory: Michele came to my house earlier.



    Bridget: I figured that’s where she went.



    Cory: She said she was cool with us.



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



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



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



    Cory: What do you mean?



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



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



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



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



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



    Cory: She went to see Marley.



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

    walks into the living room.


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



    Tyrone: Of course.



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



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



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



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



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



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

    PART 2



    CORY PRODUCTIONS.



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


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



    Matt: I’m...I’m shocked.



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



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



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



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



    Felicia: KBAY only wants ten percent.



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



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



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



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



    Felicia: What about the United States?



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



    Felicia gets up and sighs.



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



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



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



    Felicia: I’m sorry Matthew.



    Felicia leaves the office and Amanda turns to Matt.



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



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



    Matt: No...no we’re not selling.



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



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



    IRIS’S SUITE



    Iris is on her cell phone with a mystery person.



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



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



    OUTSIDE AMANDA’S OFFICE



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



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



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



    ROOM



    Joy
    makes a phone call.


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



    Joy hangs up, opens her laptop, and sees



    Donna, Tyrone, Marley and Michele.



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



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



    Michele: What is this? I’m leaving.



    Donna gets up and touches Michele’s left shoulder.



    Donna: I didn’t know you were coming.



    Michele: But you knew Aunt Marley called me.



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



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



    Marley: Thanks. Tyrone?



    Michele: No…Tyrone can stay.



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



    Michele: They told you didn’t they?



    Marley: Told me what?



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



    Tyrone: What happened?



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



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



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



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



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



    Michele: About Bridget?



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



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



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



    Michele: I heard the stories Tyrone.



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



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



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



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



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



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



    Michele: You all act like I’m crazy.



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



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



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



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



    Michele: I am not going to hurt Bridget.



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



    Michele: I love you, too.



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



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



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



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



    Donna: I heard it through the door.



    Tyrone: You were eavesdropping?



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



    Tyrone: Are you serious?



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



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



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

    Rachel discovers Carl’s secret



    Written by: C. Nathaniel Richardson



    Consultants: aMLCproduction, beebs, DRW50




    CORY MANSION



    A fully dressed Carl
    buttons up the last button on his shirt, then he looks over at a sleeping Rachel covered in a blanket. He walks over to her, kisses her on her forehead, and leaves. Rachel, however, was not sleeping. She immediately opens her eyes and throws the covers off of her. Not only is Rachel not sleeping, she’s fully clothed. Rachel stands up and flashes back…


    (EPISODE 181)

    Rachel: I wonder how she got away from us.
    Carl: We were careful.
    Rachel: We left her only for a few minutes.
    Carl: It reminds me of when you and I took care of Perry. He was an adventurous lad. We had to watch him every single second. If we turned our backs, he would disappear.



    Rachel flashes back to the present. She notices Carl’s laptop open. She turns it on and sees the “transfer complete” notification. She then notices an empty container of pills in a wastebasket. She picks it up and notices that it was prescribed to Carl Hutchins.



    Rachel: I’m gonna find out what’s going with you Carl.



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



    Later...AT A HOSPITAL OUTSIDE OF BAY CITY..



    In an exam room, Carl is connected to an IV talking on his cell phone.



    Carl: My darling daughter. I have never called Frankie that. How’s school? I was wondering if you could come home. I’m throwing a dinner party. A family gathering. Good. I’ll see ya then my dear.



    Russ
    walks in looking at his phone, which has Bay City General Hospital’s job site on it, but he presses a button, the screen goes black, and he puts it in his pocket.


    Carl: Dr. Russell Matthews. Anything interesting on your phone?



    Russ: I could have asked you the same thing.



    Carl: I was talking to my daughter Elizabeth. I’m having a dinner party, and you’re welcome to come.



    Russ: I don’t know if I…



    Carl: It wasn’t a request Russell. I’m gonna need you there. Everyone else is gonna be there. As soon as press send on my phone, everyone should have their invitation.



    Russ: Including Sharlene?



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



    HUDSONS HOUSE



    Sharlene
    opens the door and Frankie walks in.


    Sharlene: Hey you.



    Frankie: Hi.



    They hug and Sharlene shuts the door.



    Sharlene: I haven’t talked to you in a while honey. How are you?



    Frankie: I dunno. I mean I should be fine right? My daughter’s a newlywed. Cass and I got back together, but for some reason all the pegs don’t quite fit.



    Sharlene: Is it Christy?



    Frankie: Surprisingly no, not this time.



    Sharlene: Wow you seem really bothered by this. I know what time it is for you.



    Frankie: Chamomile please.



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



    AT THE BLAKE’S



    Felicia
    is sitting at her laptop desk in the living room staring at the wall, and Mitch walks in from the bedroom.


    Mitch: You barely slept honey.



    Felicia: Wow how can you tell?



    Mitch: Not only that, you’ve been sitting at that desk and your laptop’s not even open.



    Mitch walks over and massages her shoulders.



    Mitch: You made a hard decision, but you can’t let it eat you up. Your business choices have nothing to do with your friendship with Rachel. She’ll understand.



    Felicia: I didn’t want to hurt anyone. KBAY offered such a sweet deal. I couldn’t say no Mitch. They’re going to do a worldwide marketing campaign. That could lead to more movies and more book deals.



    Mitch: But…



    Felicia: I hated turning down Matt and Amanda. I remember when they were kids. I remember Mac, you know? Now they’re struggling to keep his company afloat.



    Mitch: Maybe it’s...time for them to move on.



    Felicia: What are you talking about? Mac built that company from the ground up.



    Mitch: I know, but all good things…



    Felicia: I can’t believe you would even say something like that. Rachel is one of my best friends. When she finds out what I’ve done, she’s gonna deeply hurt.



    Felicia gets up from the chair and walks away.



    Mitch: Listen why don’t we go to the Center for a while. Might make you feel a little better to get some fresh air.



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



    CAR



    Rachel puts it in park.



    Rachel: A hospital? What’s Carl car doing here?

    PART 2



    Sharlene and Frankie are sipping teas in Sharlene’s living room.



    Frankie: This might have been what I needed.



    Sharlene: I love chamomile tea. Calms my nerves. So what’s got you all worked up?



    Frankie: Cass, Charlie and I just came from the Corys.



    Sharlene: You saw Rachel?



    Frankie: Yes we...we went over the accounts of that night...that night of Josie’s shower.



    Sharlene: The night you were attacked by Fax Newman. It really is a miracle that you’re here. Sometimes I still can’t believe I went out with that man. All the while he was a cold blooded killer.



    Frankie: I’m kinda glad we...all got to hear it. It’s all out in the open; all on how I survived that night.



    Sharlene: You know Josie was very devastated about what happened. She loves you very much.



    Frankie: Charlie took it surprisingly well.



    Sharlene: It’s really the first time you’ve told her about it right?



    Frankie: Yeah but she asked an interesting question.



    Sharlene: About?



    Frankie: Where I’ve been all this time? I stayed away from Bay City for years.



    Sharlene: Well Cass decided to marry Lila. You stayed away because you wanted Charlie and Cass to be happy.



    Frankie: There are some things that I left out.



    Sharlene: Frankie are you in some kind of trouble?



    Frankie: No, nothing like that. I didn’t tell them that I planted that bogus story about Anne O’Donnell representing Newton Fairchild.



    Sharlene: Why did you do that? What are you hiding from your family?



    Frankie and Sharlene get alerts on their phones and they pick them up.



    Sharlene: This looks like an invite.



    Frankie: I got one, too.



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



    AT THE CENTER



    Mitch and Felicia walk slowly arm in arm…



    Mitch: See they got the roof open. Smell that fresh spring air.



    Felicia: Yeah, you always had that knack.



    Mitch: For what?



    Felicia: For making me feel better. I can’t lie though. That was one of the toughest decision I've ever had to make.



    Mitch: And you don’t have to explain it to anyone. Not me, not Rachel, nobody. Business is business.



    Felicia: A part of me does hope she’ll understand.



    They stop walking and Mitch faces Felicia…



    Mitch: Stop worrying your pretty little head about it. I have a feeling everything’s gonna work out the way it’s supposed to.



    They kiss. Meanwhile, from a short distance, Christy
    watches them. Suddenly, their cell phones chime and they look at them.


    Felicia: I’m invited to a party.



    Mitch: So am I.



    Felicia: You got the same thing?



    Mitch: Carl is throwing a party at the Corys.



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



    Russ sighs.



    Carl: What’s going on?



    Russ: I um...saw the results of your last MRI.



    Carl: Let me guess, it’s growing.



    Russ: Yes...really fast.



    Carl: So how much...time do I have left?



    Russ: Have you gotten all of your affairs in order? For your children? Your wife?



    Carl: How much time...Russell? Months? Weeks? Days?



    Russ: I can’t narrow that down.



    Carl: We all know I’m dying of a brain tumor that’s growing every day.



    Russ: Carl I’m sorry. I really wish there was more we could do.



    Carl: I know what you can do for me. You and Rachel used to be pretty close.



    Russ: We were married.



    Carl: Look after her. Please. She’s gonna need your friendship after I’m gone.



    Russ nods his head in agreement.



    Russ: I’ve heard a lot about you Carl.



    Carl: I surmise that most of it is negative.



    Russ: Yes mostly, but that’s not what I’ve seen from you. You’re nothing what people said you are.



    Carl: Rachel changed my life. She made me a better person.



    Russ: Funny thing is that’s not the Rachel I used to know.



    Carl: She’s a devoted mother, friend and wife.



    Russ: I’m sure she told you the reason she and I got married.



    Carl: Jamie.



    Russ: I thought he was my son, but he turned out to be Steve Frame’s.



    Carl: Did you love her?



    Russ: I’m always gonna care about Rachel. I’ll...I’ll honor your wishes.



    Suddenly, Rachel appears and walks in.



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



    The two men stay silent.



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



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



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



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



    Rachel: Time for what?



    Russ walks out and shuts the door.



    Carl: Darling.



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