You delivered again buddy!!! I liked Nicole's historical reference to the Salem Stalker storyline with Nicole and Caroline.. Anne took the plane ticket and ran. I get a feeling that's not quite over. The confrontation begins between Billie and Kim...Kim blames herself for what happened to Theresa, as she should have, and I think maybe it IS time someone let her have it. I wonder if Sami ALREADY knows about Abby and EJ's affair. Daniel THOT Jonas interrupts Liam and Jen. Tell him to get a life....LOL

ANOTHER WORLD 183 More wedding reception shockers Created By: William J. Bell and Irna Phillips Written by: C. Nathaniel Richardson Consultants: A. Washington-Beeby, ML Cooks. AT TOPS...Cass is talking to Frankie near the elevator… Frankie: I’m worried about Aunt Sharlene. Cass: I could tell. Frankie: I’ve never seen her like that before. Cass: She’s been through a lot. Frankie: I know. That’s why I’m gonna be there for her. Cass: Do you think that John was telling the truth about not having an affair with Felicia? Frankie: You know what, Cass, I believe him. It was over twenty years ago that it happened, but yet it’s still affecting them today. Meanwhile, Steven is at the bar nearby, and he’s sending a text to Joy… Steven’s Text: I wish u were here w/me. It’s been a great and wild day at my little brother’s wedding. Hope ur well. Talk 2u soon...hopefully. Kirkland approaches him. Kirkland: You heard about what happened at the house? Steven: No. What? Kirkland: Someone broke in. They’re at the police station now. Steven: Wow I gotta get down there. Kirkland: Guess you’re too busy texting that mystery girl you were telling Jake and me about. I see that twinkle in your eye. You like her a lot don’t you? Steven: Where my cousin? Kirkland: Which one? You’re, like, related to everybody in this town. Gregory left with his mom. Steven: So full of jokes on your wedding day. Your wife, my cousin, Charlie. They both turn and look over at Charlie and Stacey. Charlie: Where did Lindsay go? Stacey: She went with Gregory to take Sharlene home. You must feel like you’re on top of the world right now. Charlie: I am. I really am. I’ve married the man I love. Stacey: I’m so happy for you. Look at my niece. Charlie: You know I always thought that you and Uncle Derek were gonna be married forever. Stacey: Things just didn’t work out. Charlie: Is it because...you’re still in love with Jake? Where did he go? Stacey: I think someone broke in their house. He went to the police station with Vicky. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLICE STATION...The McKinnons, along with Rachel and Carl, have just discovered that the girl who ransacked the McKinnons house, is their daughter Michele. Carl: Jake the results from your paternity test with Steven was cross referenced with Michele’s DNA. Rachel: We stopped in Oakdale and Dr. Hughes ran the test. It came back positive. This girl is your daughter. Jake, Vicky, Bridget, Cory and Toni are all stunned. Vicky: This...this can’t be true. She was brain dead. Carl: Reginald’s lackey, Margaret Allen… Jake: Margaret Allen? She used to work for Jordan Stark at Lumina. What did she do to…? Rachel: She gave Michele a drug to make it appear that she was brain dead. Vicky: We all thought she died. Totally something Reginald would orchestrate. Carl: He’s the Head of the Lumina Foundation now. He had the resources to save Michele. Jake: It’s starting to all make sense. Michele: I promise I didn’t tell Grandpa Reginald about the key. Vicky: Only the family knows where the spare key is. Vicky puts her right hand near her mouth as her eyes well up as she slowly approaches Michele. Cory: Mom, dad? Are you absolutely sure about this? Rachel: Yes dear. She is Jake and Vicky’s daughter. Bridget: My God. Vicky: Take those cuffs off of her. Toni: So I take it you’re not pressing charges. Vicky: We’re taking...our daughter home.

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. FREEZE FRAME ON A SMILING CHRISTY...SLOW FADE OUT...END OF EPISODE 183 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gabi put her plans in motion. I hope it works for her sake...but I'm suspecting it may backfire in some way. I can see EJ in his fluctuating tone in anger, and Abigail seething in fear. I do think, however, that Abigail agreed to a bit quickly. But I'm following the story LOL I wonder if Marlena is getting suspicious of what EJ is doing... Warm scene between sisters Kayla and Kimberly over Theresa... GOOD ONE!!

A balanced episode... The seriousness of Daniel's injuries, to Sister Patterson's comic relief, to Roxanne and Hilary's fight, and Phyllis and Daisy's confrontation. I'm glad you recapped some of the stories that you wrote. Nate sleeping with Hilary. And I'm glad Hilary fought back and did not let Roxanne push her around...and their father catching them...nice twist at the end... I wonder if James Warwick is going to be able to straighten out his promiscuous daughter. Looking forward to the next one...nice!!

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.

Rachel and Carl look at Jake and Vicky with confusion. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the officers are escorting a handcuffed Michele to the door, Bridget confronts her.

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.

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.

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.

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!

ANOTHER WORLD 181 Kirkland and Charlie’s wedding day Part 5 Created by: William J. Bell and Irna Phillips Written By: C. Nathaniel Richardson Consultants: aMLCproduction, beebs 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.

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. FREEZE FRAME ON MICHELE...SLOW FADE OUT...END OF EPISODE 180

This was very balanced. Funny and serious moments. Philip said it best about Sister Patterson. Van and Daniel's scene was graphic, but it captures what Van is, and what she's doing. James Warwick is pointing a gun at his own daughter. A bit surprising to me. Karynn vs Jill. Looking forward to that. Scotty and Lauren's scene was good, too. He isn't always thinking about himself, and great nod to ANOTHER WORLD... good episode!!

Oops!! EJ overheard that Abigail's pregnant. Uh oh... Enjoyed the Anne scene. You have her character down pat also. Good infusion of humor also. Liked the Laura and Jenn exchange. You had Laura find the delicate balance between advising her daughter and being concerned about Liam. Gabi is about to do the deed. I'm rooting for her lol And I wonder if Lucas is going to start digging. He knows his mother so well. He knows she's hiding something. GOOD EPISODE!!! Well done!!

Nick is at it again...his sociopathic reign of terror continues. Once again, you nail Victor. I could see him saying exactly what you wrote... For the descent into madness ladies, Anne and Abigail are losing their minds, in different ways, because of EJ DiMera. He's his own tornado. Leaving madness in his wake. Good episode...

Anne is paranoid!! Love it!!! Brady is missing, and psychotic Nick can only think of himself in this whole thing. No empathy for Hope. Kim's reaction to the news was the I-know-my-daughter's-a-train-wreck was spot on. She knew that at some point, something would happen to Theresa, given Theresa's reckless behavior. I thought Roman initially wasn't going to remember something about what he gave to Billie. They can't nail Sheryl, Jordan and Nick yet. Abigail's scene had a twinge of humor to me. The "pregnant" part was funny. A LBVS type of moment. Waiting to see how that's going to turn out... With the aftermath, you captured Marlena very well, as you always do with character. Good episode.

ANOTHER WORLD 180 Kirkland and Charlie’s wedding day Part 4 Created by: William J. Bell and Irna Phillips Written by: C. Nathaniel Richardson Consultants: aMLCproduction, beebs, and DRW50 CORY PRODUCTIONS 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. CAMERA PAN ON ERIC...SLOW FADE TO THEME SONG https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aWlAfmcN9c&list=UUfhLlxU9gPVviSwFAwlLsCA ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Nathaniel Richardson Consultants: aMLCproduction, beebs, DRW50 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?

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.

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.

Sydney offers him a lighter. This breaks his focus on the bag and he looks up at her. Sydney: Looks like you need one of these. Sebastian: Thank you.

It hasn’t worked all these years. What makes you think it’s gonna be effective now? Monica: I brought down Sonny Corinthos didn’t I? Monica flashes back to giving a recording of Sonny admitting that he shot A.J. to Anna Devane… Anna: What is this? Monica: Listen to it. It’ll get you the fish you’ve been trying to catch for years. Monica flashes back to the present. Tracy: I don’t know how you managed to pull that off, but Carly isn’t gonna be that simple.

Besides, can you tell me where I can get some more of this good stuff from? Sebastian: How do I know you’re not a narc? Sydney immediately stands up. Sydney: Don’t be ridiculous.

I lost one son because of you and Sonny and I won’t stand by and watch that happen again! Carly: I’m sorry, Monica, for your loss. I wouldn’t know what to do if I lost Michael or Morgan, but A.J. made his own choices. Monica: You’re a human tornado. You leave destruction in your wake. Jason: Mom that’s enough. Monica: It’s true. You need to stay away from Carly before she destroys you. Tracy: Jason we’ve gotta get to ELQ. The winning bids are gonna be announced soon. Tracy walks out the door, and as she closes the front door, she walks and looks in her purse for something. Suddenly, Sydney bumps into her, and Tracy notices a lighter that falls out of Sydney’s purse. Sydney: My God! Not only are you a bitch, you’re a clumsy bitch. Tracy picks up the lighter. Tracy: Hmm what would this be for? Sydney: What is it to you? Sydney tries to walk past Tracy but Tracy stops her. Tracy: You wreak! Sydney: Wreaks of what?

You really need to find a hobby. Tracy: Does Maya know that you light up joints? Sydney: She knows all about that. Tracy: Maybe where you lived before, but not here in Port Charles. Sydney: Is there a point you’re trying to make? Tracy: I bet Maya would ship you to an iron clad, maximum security, prison-like rehab facility. In fact, why don’t we call her right now and let her know... Sydney (grabbing Tracy’s phone): Please...don’t tell my sister. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jason: Mom can you watch Danny while I go to the office? Sam should be coming soon to get him. Monica: Of course I’d watch my grandson. Carly: I have to go to the MetroCourt. Monica: On your way out of Port Charles I hope. Monica walks into the living room and sits on the couch as she watches Danny continue to play with his toys. Monica: Hey there my little grandson. Oh I just so wish Alan were here to see you. I’m gonna be in your life as much as possible. Robin walks in with a suitcase, and Monica does not hear or see her immediately. Monica: I never even got to know your brother Jake, but your big brother, Michael is thriving, and running ELQ. Robin: Big brother Michael? Monica what are you talking about? The only brother Danny had was Jake. Monica turns around and is shocked. CAMERA PAN ON MONICA...QUICK CUT OUT...END OF EPISODE 14

I'm already feeling the tension as Gabi was asking Nick out to dinner. Tyler/Maggie/Victor scene was good. Victor catching the near miss encounter but not the sparks between Tyler and Maggie. Theresa is the gruesome discovery that Rafe and Jordan made... I also like how you give Jordan more depth than they do on TV. And I like Abby's downward spiral. However I do hope Jennifer digs a little more. Things are really moving here...looking forward to the next ones..

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.

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.

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?

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.

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’S CAR IN THE BACK OF THE MCKINNONS HOUSE 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.

Nathaniel Richardson Consultants: YRbiggestfan and beebs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PART 1 AT MAXIE’S APARTMENT Maxie Jones (KIRSTEN STORMS) Felicia Scorpio (KRISTINA WAGNER) Maxie walks out into the living room with a blouse and jeans on to answer the door. It’s Felicia. Felicia: Hiiii honey. Maxie: Hey mom. Felicia (walking in and looking around): Where’s Levi? Maxie: He took his yoga mat and went to the park. -------------------- AT THE PARK… Levi Dunkleman (ZACHARY GARRED) Detective Nathan West (RYAN PEAVEY) Levi is on his yoga mat stretching while a shirtless Nathan has decided to take a break from his run in the same area after he notices Levi. Levi notices Nathan and stops his routine. He takes a towel and wipes his face and faces Nathan. Levi: Hey mate! Nathan: This is Port Charles not the outback. Levi: Why are you being so hostile toward me? Nathan: Because you’re up to no good. You made Maxie lose her child. Levi: Are you projecting detective? As I recall, you were the one who lied on the stand. Nathan: And you called the judge and told him. Levi: Well as far as Maxie is concerned, you’re blowing a bunch of hot air. Nathan: I’m not gonna stop until I prove to Maxie what kind of guy you really are. Levi: And I suppose she’s gonna leave me and go running to your waiting arms. You really should move on. ----------- Felicia: Are you ready for your trip? Maxie: Yess, so ready. I can’t wait to get away from here. Felicia: Do you mean Port Charles...or Nathan? ---------- Nathan: You’re awfully sure of yourself aren’t you Dunkleman? Levi: I always am. That’s what Maxie loves about me. You on the other hand, blew the case against Silas Clay. You were so determined to pin your sister’s murder on him. Turns out Nina is alive and she’s not even your sister. So you see, a screw up like you doesn’t scare me at all. Nathan: You think you’re squeaky clean. Nobody is squeaky clean. Especially not you. Levi: I feel great when it comes to you looking for dirt to throw on me, because you won’t find any. Nathan: I’ll be watching you like a hawk. Remember that. Nathan turns around and goes to finish his run. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- AT THE QUARTERMAINES... Jason Quartermaine (BILLY MILLER) Robin Scorpio (ELIZABETH HENDRICKSON) Carly Jacks (LAURA WRIGHT) Robin walks into the living room, where Jason is with Danny. Danny is off at watchable short distance playing with his toys as Robin approaches Jason. Jason takes a deep breath. Robin: I’m going over to Patrick’s. Jason: Oh yeah that’s right. Robin: He’s Emma’s father. Jason: I wonder how he’s gonna take it when you tell him you’re going back to Africa. Robin: I gotta go. She kisses Jason and on the way out, Carly walks in and she half-heartedly says hello to Robin, and Robin does the same to Carly and leaves. Carly mutters “bitch” under her breath and goes to hug Jason. Jason: Heeeyyy heyyy heyyyy. Carly: How are you? We haven’t talked in a while. Jason: I’m great. Never better. Look at my son. Carly: Reminds me of Michael and Morgan when they used to play with their toys. Jason: I remember. Carly: You know he’s looking more and more like you all the time. Jason: I’m grateful. Robin saved my life. Carly rolls her eyes at the mention of Robin. Jason: Come on you guys should be over all that. Carly: I don’t think I ever will. She had no right telling A.J. the truth. Everyone believed that you were Michael’s father, and that’s how it should have stayed, but that sanctimonious witch had to open her mouth. I wish you were Michael’s biological father. ----- MEANWHILE, OUTSIDE THE LIVING ROOM DOOR… Monica (LESLIE CHARLESON) has heard what Carly just said to Jason. Monica: That’s because he is, and you will never know the truth. Tracy (JANE ELLIOT) is walking down the stairs and startles Monica. Tracy: Monica. Are you eavesdropping? CAMERA PAN ON MONICA...QUICK CUT TO THEME SONG https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOtZgRncoSU ----------------------------------------PART 2----------------------------------------- Maxie: Why is Nathan so suspicious of Levi all the time? Levi has done nothing wrong. Felicia: Well you gotta admit some things are a little fishy. Maxie: Are you talking about the courthouse stuff mom? Levi said he had nothing to do with the judge finding out that Nathan lied on my behalf so I could see my daughter. You sound like Mac now. Felicia: And the immigration? Maxie: Nathan called the I.C.E. so Levi can get deported. Nathan clearly has it in for him, and I’m sick of it. It will do us good to get away. Felicia: How well...do you really know him? Maxie: Levi has been a positive influence on me. He’s taught me how to be healthy and to trust in the universe, and it’s helped for the most part. I’m so glad I met him while I was away finding myself. Felicia: I just don’t want you to get hurt. You should get to know Levi better before you go any further. Look, I didn’t come all the way over here to argue with you about your boyfriend. Maxie: Oh so you came to see your beautiful daughter. Felicia reaches into her purse. Felicia: That and to give you this. Maxie’s eyes widen with surprise as Felicia gives her the Aztec Artifact necklace. Maxie: Wait wait wait mom. You’re gonna give that to me? Felicia: Why not? It’s a family heirloom. Your grandmother wore it, and she passed it on to me, and now I’m passing it on to you. Felicia goes behind Maxie and fastens the clasp so Maxie can wear it. Felicia: It belongs to you know. Maxie: Wow mom. I...thank you. They hug. Felicia: I’m gonna get down to the Floating Rib and see what Mac is up to. I love you. Maxie: I love you, too mom. Felicia opens the door and there is Levi. Felicia: Levi. Levi: Hello Felicia. Felicia: I was just leaving. Maxie: Hi. How was yoga? Levi notices the necklace, but hides his shock. He flashes back to (Episode 9) when he first noticed the necklace on Felicia in front of Kelly’s. Levi: It...it was great...as always. Maxie: Look what my mom gave me. It’s the necklace that you were fascinated. Levi: That’s the prettiest necklace ever. ----------------- Jason: Look I know that you and Robin are never gonna be friends, but can you both try to get along at least for my sake. Carly: We’ve made some headway over the years, but gosh every time I look at her, I remember the chain of events she set in motion when she told AJ that he was Michael’s father. I don’t even know what Patrick saw in her. ---------------- AT THE DRAKE’S. Patrick Drake (JASON THOMPSON) Robin knocks and a clean shaven Patrick opens the door, and he lets her in. Robin: Wow. You look...this place looks… Patrick: Clean? Yes I’ve decided that I need to get clean. Robin: That’s...wonderful Patrick. That’s great news. Emma’s gonna need her dad, and so will Gabriel. Have you told Sabrina? Patrick: No I haven’t called her yet. Robin: Maybe she’ll soften her stance a bit and bring your son to Port Charles to see you. What made you decide to get help? Patrick: Emma, Gabriel. I want my children in my life. I need my kids in my life. Robin: And they need you. That’s what I came here to tell you. I’m leaving Port Charles. Patrick: Who are you going to save this time? Robin: AMFAR called me, so I’m going to Africa to help the children. Patrick: What about Emma? Robin: She’s gonna live with my mom and Duke. I’ve given her instructions that you can still have your supervised visits with Emma, but if things change with you. If you get better, she has my proxy to go to the court and lift that provision. -------------------------- Jason: Don’t talk about Robin like that. Carly: She’s still as high and mighty as she’s always been. Jason: Can we change the subject? Jason first looks over at Danny and then Carly follows suit. Carly: A.J. might still be alive, if you turned out to be Michael’s father. Do you ever wonder how things may have turned out if that was the case? Jason: Yeah...I do. ------------------------- Monica: Don’t you have anything better to do Tracy? Go call Ned or Dillon. When was the last time you talked to your sons? Tracy: As a matter of fact I am on my way to ELQ so we can watch the press conference. They’re gonna announce who they’re going to award the waterfront property to. Monica: Hopefully it will be my grandson who wins. Tracy: Wait a minute don’t try to change the subject. What are you doing eavesdropping on a private conversation? Monica: It’s Carly and Jason, and Carly’s reminiscing. Tracy: About what? Monica: I remember when Hurricane Carly blew into Port Charles and left a wake of destruction, and yet she’s sitting in my living room shooting the breeze with my son about what happened to A.J. Tracy: You seem angry still. Monica: Carly is a human tornado. She destroyed her mother’s marriage, and with the help of Sonny Corinthos, destroyed my son! Michael was the only person, the only reason, that A.J. had any reason to live. What did I do wrong? Tracy: You act like you failed A.J. He made his own decisions. You did all you could do as a mother. A.J. just got involved with the wrong people. Monica: I hate the fact that Carly is sitting in my living room talking to Jason after all the crap she’s pulled. Monica flashes back.(EPISODE 1) ...she sighs and pulls up something on her computer. Monica: There’s just one more thing that will make everything complete. Monica looks at a DNA test showing that Jason is Michael’s biological father. Monica flashes back to the present…. Monica: I’m gonna do whatever I need to do to keep Carly away from my family.

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.

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.

You really need to hear this.

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. FREEZE FRAME ON REGINALD...SLOW FADE OUT...END OF EPISODE 176

Very good episode.. Stefano has Nick and Percy on his payroll...hmmm a twist I didn't see coming. Anne is not backing down....I like THAT twist also!!! I'm seeing something much much bigger with Stefano giving Percy the money to fight Titan. Almost like Stefano trying to antagonize Victor. I've always wanted to see those two titans (No pun intended) getting at each other... Gabi needs EJs help, probably to neutralize Nick. I really really enjoy your writing. Character and Story are what's making this so strong and enjoyable to read. Keep it up!!

Felix: Well that’s...that’s good. Felix refocuses himself on whatever it is that he was inputting into the computer. Brad: Could’ve been you ya know? Felix: Are you with Lucas just to stick it to me? Because if that’s true, it’s not gonna last. Go have your picnic. Lucas is far from stupid. He’s gonna notice it, and it’s really not fair to him.

He leans on it so he can open it, but as he leans, Sebastian opens the door with his left hand, and puts his right hand to Lucas to stop him from falling. Lucas quickly turns around, and seems captivated. Lucas: Thank you. That would’ve been bad if I’d fallen and spilled this. Sebastian: You’re welcome. You must be having a party. I don’t think you’re gonna eat that all by yourself. Lucas: No it’s for me and… Sebastian: Your boyfriend? Lucas: Yeah. Sebastian smiles. Sebastian: Lucky him. Lucas snaps out of his flashback… Brad: Wow you were a hundred thousand miles away. What were you thinking about? Lucas: Ummm...this food. It’s pretty good. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ON ANOTHER SIDE OF THE PARK...Shawn is on his cell phone with Jordan as he sips on a cup of water filled with ice. Shawn: When are you coming back home? ---- Jordan: When the DEA gives me the okay. You know I can’t just up and abandon my assignment. ---- Shawn: Come on Jordan. Look I miss you. --- Jordan: I miss you, too. I’ll be home as soon as I can. --- Shawn: I love you. --- Jordan: Love you, too. Meanwhile, Maya is jogging and as soon as she sees a bench, she goes to sit down. She rubs her right knee and winces at the discomfort. Shawn is walking and notices Maya, and Maya naturally looks up at Shawn, and the two make extended eye contact. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SILAS’S APARTMENT - Sam and Silas are lying on the couch together and Silas holds Sam. Sam: We’re almost there huh? Silas: After everything we’ve been through. Sam: Rafe’s death. Silas: Patrick being fired. Sam: Although there’s one more obstacle we have to overcome. They look at each other and simultaneously say “Nina.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NINA’S SUITE - Nina is on the phone with Madeline. Nina: Mom I saw Silas propose to Sam in the MetroCourt. It was the most agonizing thing I’ve ever seen. I wanted to throw up a hundred times. ---- Madeline: I don’t know why you’re hung up on that adulterous man. You need to move on Nina. ---- Nina: If I can’t have SIlas, nobody will. There’s no way he’s gonna marry Sam. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BACK AT SILAS’S, someone knocks on the door. Silas answers it and it’s Michael and Kiki. Sam: Hi. Come on in. Kiki: Hey. Michael: Congrats are in order huh. Kiki and I aren’t the only ones getting married. Silas: That’s why we called you over. Sam: We were wondering if...you wanted to do a double wedding. Michael and Kiki look at each other. Kiki: That sounds like a great idea, but there’s one problem right? Michael: Well Sam you and Jason’s marriage ended because he was declared legally dead. Kiki: But Silas and Nina’s marriage...is still valid. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nina is still on the phone with Madeline as she looks at her old marriage license, and Sebastian walks in unseen by Nina. Nina: We’re still married, and we’re gonna be a family. Nina hangs up, turns around, and sees her son. Sebastian: Mom what family are you talking about? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 2 HOSPITAL - Felix and Epiphany are sitting on a bench near a window. Epiphany: Brad is playing games. I don’t know why you let him make you so upset. Felix: You know at first I couldn’t stand Brad. All he wanted was sex, but after some time passed, I started seeing him differently. I thought we could work on something until... Epiphany: You found out that he helped Britt steal Lulu’s embryo. Felix: I haven’t looked at him quite the same since. Epiphany: Yeah Brad did all of those things, but you still have feelings for him, and from what I can tell, he’s only with Lucas because he can’t be with you. Seems like he’s made his decision, and you need to make one, too. Felix: What are you trying to tell me? Epiphany: Start seeing other people. Leave Brad and Lucas be. Move on. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lucas: My Aunt Ruby’s recipe is still delicious. She ran Kelly’s for years. Brad: I heard about her. They both look at each other and nod their heads knowing that Ruby was a madam. Brad: Well my dad had his share of concubines. Lucas looks at Brad and smiles. Brad: What’s so funny? Lucas: This is how we met remember? Brad: The Floating Rib. Lucas: I just found out that my father Julian was a mobster. Brad: And I told you about my dad being a mobster. Lucas: We were sharing parental mob stories. Brad: Have you heard from your dad? Lucas: He texted the other day. He’s sticking it out with Alexis. You know you told me about your dad, but not about your mom. I wonder why you don’t talk about her. Brad: There’s not much to say. We haven’t spoken much since I came out. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shawn: Are you okay? Maya: Yeah I’m...I’m fine. Shawn takes three napkins out of his pocket, pours ice from his cup in them, and places the makeshift ice pack gently on Maya’s sore right knee. Shawn: This might help. Maya: Thank you. Shawn: If you elevate it, it might help reduce some swelling. Maya: Hey I don’t know you. Shawn: Shawn Butler. Maya smiles and Shawn smiles back. Maya: Maya Ward. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Silas: I don’t think Nina’s gonna give me a hard time about divorcing. Kiki: I’m not so sure about that dad. Sam: After everything she’s done, do you think she’s just gonna grant you a divorce so we can get married? Michael: Can you really trust Nina to do the right thing? Silas: I don’t really know, but somehow I think that this is all gonna work out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nina: Eavesdropping is rude. How much of that did you hear? Sebastian: You said something about having a family. With whom? The guy you’re still married to? Silas Clay? Nina: I’m talking about Silas, you, Kiki and me. Sebastian: But Kiki isn’t your daughter. Nina: Blood doesn’t always make you family. Sebastian: Yeah so I’ve heard. Grandma told me that Silas cheated on you with Kiki’s mom. I’m surprised you haven’t divorced his ass yet. Nina: That’s true, but sometimes you have to learn to forgive. When I first woke up from my coma, I was mad as hell about what Silas did, but I’m over it now. Sebastian grabs his backpack. Sebastian: Yeah mom if you say so. Nina: What’s the matter? You don’t believe me? Sebastian: Not one bit. After Sebastian leaves… Nina: Oh son you’re so perceptive. Your father has no idea what I have in store for him.
