    STEAM Interview

    Q: Now ML, with Season 3 launching we've seen ALOT of changes. Some cuts, some arrivals, some recasts, and shifts in many if not all of the stories. Do you think this is for the better, and how do you feel about everything going on?

    Yes it has been a lot of cast changes on S.T.E.A.M. And I know it's hard for the readers to accept all of them at one time because that's when they all happened. I wanted to do them at one time to get them out the way. A few roles were re-casted because several actors just weren't clicking with the readers, for example D' Angelo's Dre. A lot of these roles were re-casted to make the series look and feel better. As far as shifts in the story, I wouldn't so much say that, I would say there is more of a focus in the stories from myself and my writers, Tara Smith and newly arrived J. Lee Becker who will join the writing team as an Associate Headwater and creative consult. Another reason for the many cast cuts is I wanted to trim the cast in order to broaden my story base and make my stories and characters stronger and fleshed out . So I do think in the long run it will be better for the health of the series. I really feel good about all the changes and the readers seem to think so to so I am happy about that.

    Q: Secondly, we've seen some changes in regime during the end of Season 2 and beginning of Season 3. Alot of writers have been in and out. Can you give us the inside story on what's going on?

    A lot of writers have come and gone. Some were trial periods. I also wanted new writers to help freshen up STEAM and breathe in new life. But I want to say right now the writer's team is pretty stable now and will remain so. With myself as Head writer and with Tara Smith my co head writer and the new addition of J. Lee Becker as associate head writer. We are the team now and this will be the team that has already delivered great things thus far and I know things will get even better. We've created some great storylines and this will no doubt turn out to be the best season of STEAM ever. I want to give a special thanks to Tara who is a story genius and a great writer and I thank her for adding so much to this series. So the team is in place and I hope everyone enjoy what we came up with. There's a lot of competition out there and I am not worried about being competitive with the other great blogs out there. I just thank the readers for being patient while we make these changes behind and in front of the scenes. But things are now quieting down.

    Q:Related to my second question, how do you think these regime changes will help, and/or change, STEAM?

    All the writing changes that began last season stemmed from my pulling double duty as a writer and producer on Life in Salem which lead to me creating a ground breaking spin off "Affairs of the Heart." that killed off the show's super star, Dr. Marlena Evans. I had no idea how massive my work load was going to be and I needed writers to pitch in and help me with STEAM. While I was at LIS and AOTH, I lost focus on STEAM and the series suffered . Once I left LIS and AOTH earlier this year I was able to refocus on STEAM and evaluate it to see where I stood and I did not like what I saw. So hence the massive overhaul. Changes are inevitable of course. But all for the better. The changes will be smooth and seamless and in the end make the series better. We will really dig deep into the characters this season. Readers will notice a more emotional S.T.E.A.M. this season as well. There will always be camp but that also needs balance. We've got some incredible stories coming up that are fresh. Most of the current storylines have been going since episode one and they are mostly coming to a close.



    Q: There are rumors Season 3 is the last season of STEAM flying across the mySON TV industry. Can you dispell or confirm these rumors?

    No Comment.

    Q: Related to all the casting changes, it appears that you've gotten alot of big names lately. Patti LaBelle, Jasmine Guy, Tyler Perry as Madea, numerous others...also we've noticed the now-infamous Sister Pat(at least she's infamous in Pasadena) was promoted to contract status at last. Will this roll continue?

    This roll will continue. And in fact I can now announce that super star Madonna will be making a cameo appearance. She will be playing a character like none other in her career. I cannot however reveal what character she will be playing or whom she will be involved with. All that I can give away right now is stay tuned. Also joining is Chris Egen. Chris will take over the role of Bryan. We are taking Bryan in a new direction and Bryan Datilo, who originated the role has been let go. Chris will begin airing as Bryan starting with episode 6, airing Dec. 24th. Also Lauren Woodland has been let go in the role of Lauren. I was able to snatch away Melissa Archer from OLTL. Lauren was re-casted to soften up the character and Melissa Is the perfect actress to do that. And one more piece of casting news is Lynn Whitfield will also join the cast later on this season in a role that will shake up the canvas. I know this all seems like a lot of cast changes but I promise it will be seam less in reading.

    Q: This is a question about some of the minor people on STEAM...with his imminent departure from "Days of Our Lives", what's the status of Blake Berris(Gilbert), who hasn't been seen too much so far. Or Missy Elliot(Suga)? And EP/HW JayJay of an SONBC soap "Finding the Light" announced that Alexis Arquette(Rufus) is heading to Springfield, what's his status in Pasadena?

    Gilbert, as far as I can say right now is and will probably remain recurring. He has feelings for Sabryn but who knows where the road will lead. I know he is a fan favorite. Suga(Missy Elliot) will have recurring episodes this season to tie up her loose ends with Natalia. Then Suga will leave and head back over to Life in Salem for an upcoming storyline over there. And as far as Rufus, Rufus will indeed cross over to "Finding the Light" and that's series' Remy will cross over to S.T.E.A.M. to help set up a huge storyline for Ria. Rufus will be in Springfield for a bit, but he still has ties in Pasadena and we can expect to see him back down the road.

    Q: It was reported that Victoria Rowell(Ria) was close to walking from STEAM, she said so herself...but now Ria is getting a center story. Can you tell us anything about it or just how big it will be?

    Ms. Rowell was unhappy for a while I must admit. A woman of her talents deserves something more than being in a supportive role. STEAM got bloated and some characters got neglected and Ria was one of them. Ria is getting a big storyline this season and it's a bit risky even for STEAM but not in a way you think. I cannot give any details yet but I will say Ria will be a redefined woman when all is said and done. She has her family in place and they play a major role in this.

    Q: How many more cuts shall STEAM see in the immediate future?

    More cuts are coming. I cannot say at this time of the interview who they will be or how many because that may give away to much but I will try my best to keep everyone updated. Like right now. Yes Lauren is alive. Lauren Woodland has been let go in the Role of Lauren. I am taking Lauren in a new direction after much upheaval over last season's sex shocker with Kevin. I was able to get Melissa Archer with the great help of Tara to play the role and I could be none the happier. We are really going to get into the thick of Lauren's and Daniels relationship. They have a very long road ahead. Melissa Archer is the third actress to tackle the role of Lauren, the first being AMC's Lauren Roman.

    Q: Now, how would you say STEAM is fairing in these economic times and dire times for soaps? Budget cutting is everywhere.

    Budgeting is a concern and cuts are being made everywhere. Here at aMLCproductions, we have stream lined the production to be cost effective. I did have to make cuts in the cast to get some of these big name stars but I am sure it will pay off in the numbers. STEAM is the number 1 show of the SONOP line up and has been for some time so ad revenue coming in is not an issue. We make wise decisions.

    Q: Finally, what direction would you say STEAM is headed in throughout Season 3? As in realistic, character driven, campy, in between, etc etc. Surely a questions many fans have, and thank you for your time.



    STEAM will take a different direction. It is known for being over the top so that will not change. But at the same time there is going to be more character development, more emotion, The change won't be drastic but it will be nice. Based on the latest comments I have viewed, it is already working.

    Due to technical diffculties, I was unable to post pics. Everytime I post a pic in this ep, the episode would double in length. If any one could help me please do. In the mean time please refer to cast list posted on the right. Thanks and again my apologies


    Westwood Park, Dondre's House

    Kiko looks at Lauren then at his brother Dondre.

    Kiko

    "What the hell is going on?"

    Lauren

    "Kiko, I know this is a surprise but I need you to calm down and hear us out."

    Kiko

    "Calm down? I am seeing dead people!"

    Dre

    "Relax man. It's not that serious yo. I didn't kill Lauren. This is a set up."

    Lauren

    "We have to make Tyler believe Dondre killed me."

    Kiko

    "This is insane. Why?"

    Dondre

    "He was going to either kill me or you if I didn't kill Lauren."

    Kiko

    "Why does Tyler want you dead Lauren?"

    Lauren

    "He hates me. He believes I am a threat to his illegal operations. He blames me for Daniel not working with him no more."

    Kiko

    "This is outrageous. Tyler is dangerous. He kidnapped me and his henchman held me at gun point. I don't think messing with Ty is a great idea. You can't hide this forever. What if the police starts looking for you Dre? What if Tyler tells the police that you killed Lauren?"

    Dre

    "Ty can't do nothing. The police are already trying to go after him so he won't do nothing else to draw attention to himself."

    Kiko

    "And now you two have me involved in this little plot. "
    Dre

    "It wasn't supposed to go down like this bro. My bad homie."

    Kiko

    " So now what? How long will Lauren have to stay dead? What's going to happen next?"

    Lauren

    "Until we get Ty busted for the crimes he's committed."

    Kiko

    "So you two are trying to be crime stoppers now. You should let the professionals handle this."

    Dre

    "It's too late. We are in too deep. I had to make it look like I killed Lauren so Ty wouldn't do nothing else to no one else. We are going to set him up."

    Kiko

    "What about Daniel? He believes you are dead! Or wait, is he in on this too?"

    Lauren

    "NO!. Daniel does not know. He cannot know! "

    Dre

    "You can't tell no one about this bruh."

    Kiko

    "So you are going to let the father of your child believe you are dead?"

    Lauren has a flash back of making love with Chris then of having a one night stand with Kevin. Dre also remembers when he over heard Lauren and Kevin talking about that one night stand at The Blue Note.

    Lauren, turning away to look away from Kiko,

    "It's not Daniel's child."

    Dre

    "All that aint important right now. Look man. You are my brother and if I've never asked anything of you before, this right here, is the time I'm asking. This is when I need you the most man. I know this is some crazy sh!t goings on, but I need to you to keep what you saw today to yourself. I wanted to prove to you that I was not a killer. That's why you are here. "

    Kiko, thinking of everything he's learned today thinks of the situation. He looks at Lauren and then at his brother.

    "You can count on me. I'll keep quiet." Lauren takes a deep sigh of relief as Dre walks over to his brother and give him a hug.

    S.T.E.A.M.

    Episode: 105, Twigs and Berries!

    Written by ML Cooks

    Lavender Hill, Diego's House

    Ashley walks up to the front door. She looks inside and it looks to her like Diego has moved out.

    "Son of a Bitch." She walks around to the back of the of the mansion and sees a for sale sign.

    "Yea I bet. Just open your flappers and tell Natalia everything about her son and leave town." She then pulls out her cell phone and dials Diego's number. The operator comes on

    "The number you are trying to reach has been disconnected. Message 105." Ashley slams her phone shut and then lodges it the mansion, busting a window.

    "You won't get away with this Diego. Fu(king Bastard! I am about to lose everything." Ashley then runs off into her car and rushes off.





    Westwood Park, Natalia's House.

    Natalia gets off the phone when she gets a knock at her door. She opens it and is surprised to see Mark.

    Natalia

    "Mark, I'm surprised to see you here."

    Mark

    "May I come in?"

    Natalia

    "My door is always open for you." Mark then walk in.

    Mark

    "I'm here to find out about our child?"

    Natalia

    "You care now?"

    Mark

    "I actually do care about our son. He's my flesh and blood. If he's alive then I want to do right by him."

    Natalia

    "That's good to hear."

    Mark

    "I don't understand why Ashley would have our child. What is going on?"

    Natalia then remembers Mark may not be the father of this child but it could be Bryan's, and probably the reason why Ashley kidnapped him.

    "I don't know either. We have to find out. In fact I was just talking with the hospital and they have the paternity results. Good timing, maybe we could go find out together."

    Mark

    "Actually, I am going to talk with Mike."

    Natalia, frowning,

    "Mike? What for?"

    Mark

    "He's the new police chief. I have to find Dahlia."

    Natalia, rolling her eyes,

    "It's always about Dahlia. She's dead."

    Mark

    "I bet you would love that! She's not. I saw her right before you got shot."

    Natalia

    "How are you so sure?"

    Mark

    "Because Rufus was giving me head and she walked in on us."

    Natalia

    "You can let that boarder jumper feel up on you but the mother of your child can't get no action? What does that thing have that I don't? I love you regardless of your past life. I'm ok with the fact you are bisexual. I knew for a while. Rufus and I had a conversation a while back and it just so happened that nasty bitch's nuts fell out her skirt. Would Dahlia have loved you knowing you were on the down low?"

    Mark

    "I am not on the down low. I've only messed with Rufus. No other men. It started back in high school and it's just been an on going thing. Nothing to write home about."

    Natalia

    "I think so. I bet Rufus was the one who shot me. Tell Mike that while you're at it. Always worried about Dahlia. Find out who in the hell shot me. Who caused me to lose our son. I'm outta here. See your self out." She grabs her purse and jacket and heads to the front door. She looks back at Mark,

    "Oh, and when your son asks where his daddy is, I'll tell him a dead bitch was more important than you. Imagine how hurt he is going to be. Selfish bastard!" Natalia storms out her house leaving Mark to eat her words.





    Back on Lavender Hill, Sabryn's Mansion

    Sabryn is sitting down in her living room, with her son in her arms. She listens to CNBC as she bottle feeds Bryan Jr. Bryan comes down the stairs and walks over to his fiancée. He leans down to try and kiss her but she moves her head back.

    Bryan

    "What's the matter?"

    Sabryn

    "I'm busy feeding your son."

    Bryan

    "Well you can give me a kiss right now?"

    Sabryn

    "Honestly no Bryan. I am so pissed at you right now. I just want to explode. I told you when we got back together, if you hurt me again, I'll kill you. That's what I feel like doing every time I look at your face!"

    Bryan

    "I remember that but I didn't cheat on you though baby."

    Sabryn

    "You haven't cheated in over a year. Ashley is back from the dead and claiming to have your son. Oh wait, It's Natalia's son to. I don't understand how all this happens. My son and I are the ones suffering. For your stupid affair."
    Bryan

    "You already know Ashley is crazy. She is probably lying."

    Sabryn

    "She is crazy and if she is carrying your son we have to possibly deal with that crazy Bitch for ever . Why do I have to live with something like that? I shouldn't have too. Bryan Jr. shouldn't have too. In fact I feel bad for her son. It's a shame he has a crazy mother like that."

    Bryan

    "All I can say is I am so sorry Sabryn. I love you and I hope nothing has changed or will change."

    Sabryn

    "I can't promise you that. It depends on these paternity results. I'll tell you what though, you better hope and pray that is not your son."

    Bryan

    "Well we are about to find out. The test results are in. I was heading down to the hospital to find out the results. I was hoping you would join me?"

    Sabryn

    "I'll pass. I'm meeting with Sharan. She should be here any minute so why don't you hurry up and leave."

    Bryan

    "Sabryn I love you. I always will so no matter what happens at this hospital, I want you to know that."

    Sabryn

    "It sounds good."

    Bryan, shakes his head and then kisses his son on the forehead and then leaves the mansion. Once Bryan closes the door behind him, tears fall from Sabryn's eyes. She looks down in her son's eyes and talks to him,

    "I don't know what is going to happen little one. Your father's mistakes keep ruining our lives. I don't know if we can be a family. I can't keep going in these circles with him." She then hears her door bell ring. The maid walks into the living room and announces Sharan has arrived. Sabryn puts Bryan Jr in a rocker and greets Sharan.

    Sharan

    "It' so good to see you!"

    Sabryn

    "I've missed you" They hug.





    Huntington Memorial Hospital

    Rufus walks out of his hospital room and sees Sister Patterson and Miss Jenkins having a heated discussion. Rufus interrupts them and give Miss Jenkins a big hug.

    Rufus

    "You saved my life. I'll always be thankful to you."

    Sister Patterson

    "Get your tranny hands off my mother!"

    Rufus stops hugging Madea and looks at both ladies,

    "This is your mother?"

    Miss Jenkins

    "Child yes. It's very embarrassing. I gave birth to a devil."

    Sister Patterson

    "It's time for you to go back to your house. I don't know how you got out anyway."

    Miss Jenkins

    "No honey I am ok. You are done keeping me locked up in that house. Why would you do that to that to an old lady?"

    Rufus

    "Oh my god you're Miss Jenkins."

    Madea

    "Yes I am honey. In the flesh."

    Rufus

    "Everyone thought Miss Patterson was crazy. She was always talking about this Miss Jenkins. I thought it was some one she made up."

    Sister Patterson

    "It's Sister Patterson to you. I am a warrior for my God."

    Madea, laughing,

    "Please, the only war you are about to be fighting is with the crazy hospital when I have you committed. And you're right Rufus, my daughter is crazy."

    Sister Patterson

    "It's all because of you. You know what you did to me."

    Madea

    "I did nothing but raise you. So what I told you, you were ugly. It's the truth honey." She says laughing. Rufus chuckles as well.

    Sister Patterson

    "Yes, it's time for you to be going back to your house." Sister Patterson begins to grab Madea's arm.

    Madea

    "You wanna put your hands on me huh? I got something for that ass." Madea reaches in her purse and takes out her gun. Sister Patterson immediately backs up away from Miss Jenkins.

    Sister Patterson

    "We are in a hospital. A place for healing. Put the devil's tools away."

    Madea

    "Honey I don't care where we at. You aint gone put yer hands on me." She then turns to Rufus,

    "How you feeling honey?"

    Sister Patterson

    "Don't talk him! He's a gay."

    Madea

    "Honey, we are all God's chill'rens. Maybe this man need a little help finding out who he is."

    Sister Patterson

    "Aint no family of mine going to be associated with a fruit basket."

    Madea

    "That's funny, isn't your daughter a lesbian?"

    Sister Patterson is stunned.

    Madea

    "You thank I didn't know huh? Miss Jenkins knows everything honey. You need to go get your family together. You're about to lose everyone you love. In fact, you should get together a family reunion. I want to see everyone you been hiding from me. And it's time to reveal to them just how crazy you really are."

    Sister Patterson

    "Miss Jenkins, I am not going to let you do this."

    Madea

    "Get out of my face before I do something I do want to do." She says reaching for her gun again. Sister Patterson then leaves the hospital.

    Rufus

    "Wow, I never seen anyone get Miss Patterson together like that before. She's always in some one's face being loud and disrespectful."

    Madea

    "Honey, thangs gone be changing round 'chere real quick. I got some stories to tell about my ugly daughter. Would you like to hear them?"

    Rufus

    "I sure would Miss Jenkins."

    Madea

    "We can gone head back to my house and I'll cook something up. Now tell me what the doctor said?"

    Rufus

    "Well, thanks to Ashley, I don't need surgery to become a full fledge woman."

    Madea

    "Oh my lamb, you mean that's what was wrong with ya when I found you in my basement?"

    Rufus

    "That crazy Bitch Ashley took a chain saw, thinking she was reliving a moment from that movie Texas Chainsaw Massacre and cut my penis off."

    Madea

    "Lord, what the hell she do that for?"

    Rufus

    "Because she's flipping crazy. The doctor said I'll be ok though. They got me all together. I'm now a woman. My man hood is gone."

    Madea

    "Well honey, whatever flies you're hair back. Let's go back to my house. I need to hit my reefers."

    Rufus

    "You mean weed?"

    Madea

    "Yea honey. I got to have my twigs and berries for this glaucoma I got here in my eyes."

    Rufus laughs as they begin to leave the hospital. But Rufus gets side tracked when he sees Ashley entering the hospital.

    Rufus

    "That's her. She cut my dick off."

    Madea

    "Well honey here you go." She says handing her, her gun.







    Downtown Pasadena, Police Station

    Mark walks into Mike's office.

    Mike

    "Mark, It's been a while. What brings you down here?"

    Mark

    "Well Mr. new police chief, I need to talk to you about something I saw right after Natalia was shot."

    Mike

    "I'm glad you bring that up. The ball was dropped on that unsolved crime and I was just in the process of opening that case back up. Let me start off asking you, who do you think had a reason to shoot Natalia?"

    Mark, thinking of Rufus

    "Rufus Taylor maybe."

    Mike

    "Rufus huh? And why do you think Rufus would want to shoot Natalia?"

    Mark

    "A jealous lover."

    Mike

    "Lover? Who's?"

    Mark, pausing before answering

    "Mine. Rufus and I used to mess around and he came back to town to try and rekindle what we had years ago. She's made numerous remarks about Natalia."

    Mike

    "Very interesting. So what did you see after Natalia got shot?"

    Mark

    "This is going to sound odd but, I saw Dahlia Salem. I saw her one time after Natalia was shot and I haven't been able to locate her since."

    Mike

    "Wow, really? Dahlia? I remember she was dumped into that landfill."

    Mark

    "That's what I thought to but I swear to you I know I saw her."

    Mike

    "Well did you stop and talk to her?"

    Mark

    "I was unable too."

    Mike

    "And that's because of what?"

    Mark

    "She walked in on Rufus and I."

    Mike, a bit surprised

    "I see. Well I have Natalia who was shot and then Dahlia back from the dead. This does makes things interesting. If she's alive I am sure we'll find her. Maybe she knows who shot Natalia."

    Mark

    "Are you trying to say Dahlia might have shot Natalia?"

    Mike

    "It seems anything is possible in this city."

    Mark

    "You are right about that."

    Mike

    "I'll do some digging and see what I come up with. There's been a massive crime wave here in Pasadena and it might take a little while to get all the cases but trust me, no crime will go unpunished. There's going to be a lot of people going to jail very soon."

    Mark

    "I am glad to hear. Thank you for your time. I have something to do at the hospital so I'll be in touch." Mark gets up and leaves as Mike ponders the fact if Dahlia is really dead and could she be the one who shot Natalia then skipped town.





    Back on Lavender Hill, Sabryn's Mansion

    Sharan walks over to look at Bryan Jr.

    "He's beautiful. I am so happy for you."

    Sabryn

    "Not more happy than I am for you. It's so good to have my best friend back. So tell me, what did you go through.? I've heard a lot about this Mona person."

    Sharan

    "I don't even know where to start. She kidnapped me, and Daniel, faked Daniel's death and framed Chris for it."

    Sabryn

    "That is horrible. I was there with Bryan when he found out Chris was put into the gas chamber. Damn that is such a shame. An innocent man killed for nothing. Because he was set up. This Mona person must have really had a lot of time on her hands to do all these deranged things. What would cause someone to act like that.?"

    Sharan

    "Revenge and pain. It's going to sound crazy, but I almost forgive all of the things Mona did. Her father took her away when she was born. Abe made Sister Patterson believe that Mona was dead. Abe then chained her up and molested her night after night for 15 years."

    Sabryn

    "Abe? The police chief? His own daughter?"

    Sharan

    "Well, Mona found out recently that Abe's brother was really her father. But yes Abe did all of this. He's the reason she's crazy. She's hell bent on revenge and all the things Abe done to her is the reason she's done all the crazy things she's done."

    Sabryn

    "I'm just glad to have you back. I know you are happy as well."

    Sharan

    "Oh yes I am. I am free. It feels so good. I still have night mares though but I guess that's to be expected. So tell me about this wedding, I was there. I saw what happened? Oh and by the way, Mona and Ashley were working together."

    Sabryn

    "You have got to be kidding me! I don't believe this. If Mona can fake Daniel's death then there is no telling what in the hell two crazy people can cook up. Ashley claims she gave birth to Bryan's son. But come on, the crazy bitch got ran over by a car. How do you survive that and even give birth? And to top all that off, Natalia is now claiming that the son Ashley has is really hers, thanks to some plot by Ashley and Diego."

    Sharan

    "It is possible. I'm telling you that sounds about right. I over heard Ashley talking while she visited Mona. Even Mona admitted that baby wasn't Ashley's."

    Sabryn

    "Then that would mean that Natalia is right. It is her son. Bryan made a comment that this child had his facial features. Oh my God. NO!. Don't tell me Bryan and Natalia slept together. It all makes sense. Natalia and I had an argument at her fashion show and she made a remark. She has a flash back

    The Fashion show begins with some club music in the background playing and the lights flash of all colors on the runway. The first model walks out and struts to the music.

    Sabryn, standing next to Natalia

    "How hideous. So tacky. No class whatsoever ever."

    Natalia

    "Jealous ones still envy I see. If I wasn't pregnant. I would love to have a few rounds with you in the boxing ring you."

    Sabryn

    "It's a deal. After we have our babies , it's a date. I 've been waiting to show you who's really boss."

    Natalia

    "Bryan knows who's boss" She coolly says walking away.

    Sabryn

    "That's the second weird comment that dumb BITCH made. " she says wondering what is Natalia is talking about. As Sabryn walks back over to Bryan, The lady in red follows her.

    Kiko

    "The paternity of the child in question goes as follow. Bryan D. Crane is the father."

    Just then Sabryn walks in. Kiko continues

    "The mother of the child in question is…….Natalia Cigultie."

    Bryan is shocked.

    Sabryn

    "So you two had an affair?"

    Natalia, walking up in her face,

    "I've waited to tell you this for so long! Yes Bryan and I slept together. Bryan got a big d!ck don't he?" Ashley and Sabryn both start attacking Natalia!

    TC Hotel, Ty’s Office

    Kiko, with a gun aimed to his head, courtesy of Santino,

    “Dondre, please tell me this is not true? Tell me you did not kill Lauren? She was 5 months pregnant!”

    Dre, with a gun aimed at his head as well via Ty,

    “Bro, I had to man. I had no other choice. I had to or this situation right here we are in could have been worse.”

    Ty

    “You’re right about that….” He thinks of Lauren being dead.

    “Hearing you say Lauren is dead has warmed my soul. Now no one will have to hear her flaber mouth ever again.”

    Kiko

    “What kind of man are you? What makes you want a pregnant woman dead? What about that little baby she was carrying?”

    Ty

    “Well now we won’t have to listen to flaber mouth junior.”

    Kiko

    “You’re a pig.”

    Ty, looking back at Dre,

    “You better tell your brother to shut his mouth or he is going to piss me off. Just like Lauren did and we all seen what you did to her.”

    Kiko

    “You’re going have my own brother kill me too?”

    Dre

    “You got it twisted homie. Aint nothing like that going down. Kiko, just be quiet and everything will be ok.” He then looks back at Tyler.

    “Look man, I did the job you asked me to do. Lauren is dead and gone. You have no reason to keep my brother.”

    Ty

    “Your brother better not open his mouth up to the police. I am sure he won’t. He doesn’t want his brother going to jail for the rest of his life. So I trust Kiko won’t be a problem?”

    Dre

    “No problem at all.”

    Kiko

    “I can speak for myself. I’m my own man.”

    Dre

    “Just shut the fu(k up Kiko. Damn you talking to much right now.”

    Ty, pulling his gun back,

    “Job well done. I’ll call you with more work later. I already have another job lined up for you.”

    Kiko

    “You can cancel that. My brother won’t be needing to work for you no more.”

    Tyler, looking at Dre and pointing at Kiko,

    “You’re going to need to handle that before I do.”

    Dre

    “Don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of it. Just don’t touch my brother.”

    Ty, looking at Santino,

    “Let the pretty boy go.”

    Santino unties the ropes that bounded J to a chair. Kiko rubs his wrist and stands up.

    Dre

    “Let’s go Kiko.”

    Kiko eyeballs Tyler and Santino one last time,

    “With pleasure.” Kiko follows Dre out Ty’s office as Ty sits down in his chair with a smile on his face.

    “Lauren is dead and I could not be any happier.”

    Santino just sets back and wonders what kind of man wants pregnant woman dead.







    Episode:104, Miss Jenkins’ Kinship

    Written by ML Cooks and Tara Smith





    The Jump Off

    Santino walks over to Jenn who is sitting at the bar. She looks at him and smiles.

    Jenn

    “I’ve been thinking of you.”

    Santino

    “You’ve been on my mind too.”

    Jenn

    “Do you think this is a good place for us to meet?”

    Santino

    “Yea, Ty has his hands tied at the moment.” He says grabbing her thigh. He continues,

    “The other night when we had sex was everything I thought it would be.”

    Jenn

    “I haven’t felt that kind of passion in a long time. But listen.,.. about that night. We have a serious problem.”

    Santino

    “What do you mean?”

    Jenn

    “Karl saw us.”

    Santino

    “What do you mean Karl saw us? I made sure we were in a secluded location so no one would know.”

    Jenn

    Apperntly Karl followed us to South Pasadena. He’s a sick pervert. He took pictures of us having sex.”

    Santino

    “Oh great. Just what I need. Ty to see those pictures. He’ll kill me.” He then looks in her eyes. “ And to be honest with you Jenn, there’s no telling what he would do to you.”

    Jenn

    “Well he already beats me so I doubt there’s anything worse than that.”

    Santino

    “Jenn you have no idea. Tyler is changing. He’s becoming a new person. Someone very dark and dangerous.”

    Jenn

    “What makes you say that? What is going on?”

    Santino

    “I’m not at liberty to get into to that right now. But he did something I just don’t care for. It’s almost sick. It is sick, what the hell am I saying?”

    Jenn

    “Santino tell me.”

    Santino

    “I can’t. It’s for your safety.”

    Jenn

    “Well I am not very safe if Karl has photos of us sleeping together.”

    Santino

    “Listen, right now is not the right time. We need to decide what we are going to do with Karl. Ty finding out about us will be disastrous.”

    Jenn

    “What do you recommend we do?”

    Santino

    “I thought you would have a plan since that seems to be your field of expertise.”

    Jennifer

    “What’ that supposed to mean?”

    Santino

    “Does the name Jodie ring a bell? Didn’t you black mail her and make her life a living hell before she died?”

    Jenn

    “Died? Jodie is dead?”

    Santino

    “Yes she is. I thought you knew.”

    Jenn, looking away from Santino, with a cold chill going through her body,

    “No…no I had no idea….. Wow.”

    Santino

    “Feeling bad for all the things you’ve done to her?”

    Jenn

    “I don’t know. It’s not about Jodie right now. We need to figure out how to neutrilize Karl. He’ going to try and black mail us.”

    Santino

    “Well doesn’t that make him as guilty as us? He knows about our affair but yet he’s keeping it from his own son. What does Karl have to gain by black mailing you?”

    Jenn

    “If we don’t deliver a pre-emptive strike first, I guess soon we will find out.”

    Santino

    “Ok listen, we’ll meet again tomorrow night. At Brookside Park. Let’s say nine p.m. By then we should both have ideas on how to get rid of him.”

    Jenn

    “We are playing a dangerous game. But it’s so hot. I wish I could lean over and kiss you right now.”

    Santino

    “But you can’t, there are too many people here. I’ll see you tomorrow tonight. “

    Jenn

    “Think of me lover.”

    Santino

    “You do the same” Santino then gets up to leave Jenn at the bar by herself. She thinks of Jodie.





    Huntington Memorial Hospital

    DC walks into the morgue where a morgue worker awaits him.

    Worker

    “I know this is hard for you, but this will only take a few minutes. I could not get a hold of any other member of the Williams family. Just identify the body and state whether or not if this is your brother. Are you ready?”

    DC

    “Yea man.”

    The worker then pulls the cover off Abe’s body. DC is barely able to recognize his brother due to the horrific nature of the crash.

    DC

    “That’s my brother. Please cover him back up. I can’t see him like that.’ He turns around to look away, getting choked up. He wants to break down in tears, as the man he looked up to, the man he grew up with, the man who always had his back, the man who he did wrong is dead and gone forever.

    DC

    “Give me some private time wit my bro.”

    Worker

    “Certainly.” The worker walks out of the morgue.

    DC talks his hat off and turns around to walk toward Abe. He stares at him. Still in shock that his only brother is dead.

    “I don’t understand why this had to happened to you. In fact, I don’t get why it had to happened like this. You’re car ran over a cliff? What in the hell was you doing boy? Man why does it have to be like thiss. ..(He pauses for a second) …Abe, I did some real foul things my brother. I did what one brother should never do to another. I slept with your wife. Kelis was mine and I am so sorry for that. It happened so many years ago. I was young, dumb and horny. Lynn and I were going through so much. She put me through hell. Pat was just there for me. She understood me. I know it’s hard to understand, but Pat was never that damn crazy. I don’t know what in the hell happened to her. Then Lynn just up and left me and took our two sons away. They just left me, ripped out of my life. Gone, and I have not been able to locate them since. I don’t if my wife and kids are dead or not. But its no excuse. A brother should never do what I did to you. And if you can hear me now, I want you to know I am so sorry and I will be sorry for the rest of my days. I love you brother, and I hope you are resting in peace. “ He closes his eyes, and has a few childhood memories of himself and his brother back in New Orleans.

    DC

    “New Orleans. Our home town. Well you left and came out west. And it was my home until Hurricane Katrina came and washed everything away. Just like now. Everything has been taken from me. I have no one. Your sons hate me. I have no one. I just an old dried up pimp. I have to find my sons. I have to give my life purpose.”

    He then hears the door close. He looks up and sees Kevin.

    Kevin

    “The only purpose you seem to have is hurting my family. I bet your happy my pops is dead. Now you can have my mom all to your self. Sick son of a bitch. !“

    DC

    “You better watch your mouth boy. I understand you are upset and going through the most with Abe dying and all. I know you are still mad you found out your momma and I had our thang going on. But boy, it’s thangs you don’t understand. It seems all you know how to do is get mad and cuss me and your mother out. If you would pump ya brakes and sit back and take the time to listen to the story, you might understand something. Everyone isn’t perfect including your father. So before you continue to play that almighty God attitude, know the facts.” And with that so coldly spoken, DC puts his hat back on and smoothly walks right past Kevin , out of the morgue. Kevin is flabbergasted that DC just got him together.





    Sister Patterson arrives at the Hospital to also identify her husband’s body. She runs into DC. They look at each other in silence, until Sister Patterson throws out an ice breaker

    Sister Patterson

    “We are going to hell because of you.”

    DC

    “You know girl, I am getting real sick and tired of you and your sons so quick to blame me. You have some fault here to. I didn’t force you to sleep with me.”

    Sister Patterson

    “And your dumb ass don’t know what no means. Simple ass Bastard. What is Miss Jenkins going to say about this? How is Miss Jenkins going to react when she finds out my husband, the father of my two sons died after finding out his brother slept with his wife?”

    DC

    “I don’t’ give two damns about no Miss Jenkins. Damn her to hell too. Our family has been turned upside down. We don’t need no antics from you. It’s time for healing. I lost the only family I had left. My brother, who died in a car crash. Damn you Pat and damn your two sons. The only one I have to answer too now is my brother’s spirit.” After saying that, DC walks off.

    Sister Patterson, speaking to her self,

    “Lord have mercy. The devil is testing me today.” Sister Patterson is about to get on the elevator when something catches her eye. She gets off the elevator and looks down the hall and sees a big, tall grayed haired woman.

    Sister Patterson

    “I need to see a doctor about my third eye. My third has been failing me for a while now. Did I lose my special powers?” She says walking closer to this familiar woman. Sister Patterson realizes it’s none other then the infamous Miss Jenkins herself.

    Sister Patterson

    “Miss Jenkins!? What are you doing out of your house?”

    Madea turns around and looks at Sister Patterson,

    “Well, well. If it isn’t the devil’s advocate. Thought I would never make it out of my own house did ya honey?”

    Sister Patterson

    “We need to get you back to the house now. You can’t be out here like this.”

    Madea

    “I aint going no where. You crazy bat. It’s time to let the world know that you have been up to no damn good in my neighborhood.”

    Sister Patterson

    “Miss Jenkins, please don’t this. What are you doing here? How did you get out?”

    Madea

    “I saw one of those man’woman’s in my basement honey. She said call the po po and I said ok ho. Looked like she was raped.”

    Sister Patterson

    “I know you are not talking about Rufus.”

    Madea

    “Rufus, honey, Chaka khan, it don’t matter. That child needed help. And you need help too. Crazy ass physco. I don’t see how they let you loose in these streets. Lord, tell me how did I ever give birth to a demon child.”

    Kevin walks over to his mother and Miss Jenkins,

    “Is this Miss Jenkins?”

    Madea

    “Why yes it is. How you derrin’? I’m yo grand momma. Your crazy mother here, forget to mention me.”

    Kevin

    “Is this true?”

    Sister Patterson

    “Yes. Miss Jenkins is my mother.”





    Ivory Inc .



    Karim is sitting at his desk, thinking about all that’s happened. His father is dead, one of the evilest psychos of Pasadena is his sister, and his mother is still crazy. He is scanning over Ivory’s business plan for the next year, which had to change drastically due to the recent economic melt down. Not able to work right now he throws his pen down. Ladonna walks in and sees him there.

    LaDonna

    “Something wrong, Mr. Williams? “

    Karim

    “Please call me Karim. I don’t like formalities around here. But yes… I don’t think I want to talk about it. “

    LaDonna , sitting down next to him,

    Come on, its me you’re talking to. Your Ivory girl. Tell me what’s wrong.

    Karim, looking up at LaDonna

    “Well, its my Pops. I was never as close to him as Kevin was, but he’s dead, and I found out he molested my sister, and made my mom think she was dead. My mom cheated on my pops, and she’s gone completely insane. And Mona, the woman who kidnapped Sharan, is my sister Kelis, the daughter of my uncle and mom! And then there’s Alexis who just got out of jail. So yes, I am going through a lot right now”

    LaDonna, getting up from her chair and begins to massage Karim’s shoulders

    “I’m sorry, Karim. I really am. I don’t even know what to say, but you need to stick with your family. Your mother may be a nut, but she’s your mother. And your brother needs you too”

    Karim

    “My mom cheated on my pops, I don’t know if I can just let that go. Now my dad is dead.”

    LaDonna

    “But you can’t just desert her either. You need Patterson and she needs you…. And aren’t you back with that girl Alexis? Isn’t she a criminal? “

    Karim

    “No, Ashley I guess ended up alive. And yes I’m back with her but she’s really not that bad. Maybe one of the lone bright spots in all of this. I do care for her”

    LaDonna

    “I’ve heard about her from you, and I don’t know if I trust her. Its just a vibe I get. You said she was acting the same way Ria used to act until you found out she was cheating.”

    Karim

    “I know we have some issues but I am assuming we are going to work on them, though she has a lot of explaining to do. Listen, I really like Alexis, and I think that she’s not like her sister”

    LaDonna

    “Maybe not on the outside. Its none of my business, I’m just saying-

    Alexis, walking in

    “Or maybe you just want a piece of my man for yourself? I saw how you was looking at Karim at the wedding. Smiling at me when Karim and I were arguing.”

    LaDonna

    “Excuse me? I am just Karim’s secretary and friend, you can’t just come up in here- “

    Alexis, walking over to Karim and shoving LaDonna aside

    “I know about girls like you. And I’m not stupid. I know what you want, and I’m what Karim needs to feel better. So how about you run along, go do your papers or something? “

    LaDonna, grabbing Alexis by the arm

    “Now listen here, I don’t take that kind of talk. “

    Then Karim jumps in and pulls LaDonna off of Alexis.

    Alexis

    “You better take your damn hands off of me.”

    Karim

    “Everyone calm down. Alexis, nothing was going on here. LaDonna and I are very close friends. I am not hiding anything like you. So please don’t go there with LaDonna and I think you owe her an apology.”

    LaDonna smiles at Alexis as Alexis squints her eyes in disbelief and slight embarrassment.

    LaDonna

    “It’s ok Karim. I see she’s going to have a hard time saying it. I’m good. She just better watch how she talks to me.” LaDonna then walks out the office.

    Karim, looking at Alexis,

    “I really can’t believe you Lexie. You really embarrassed me.”









    Westwood Park, Ria’s House

    Patti is in the kitchen fixing sandwiches for her and Ria as Ria sits on her couch watching The Young and the Restless when suddenly she hears a pounding on her front door.

    Ria

    “Who in the hell pounding on my damn door like they the police. My stories on damn it!” She says cutting the TV off and getting up off the couch.

    Patti

    “Girl you better watch your mouth. Don’t talk like that in front of me.”

    Ria rolls her eyes as she opens the door and is absolutely stunned to see her sister Jasmine on her door step. Jasmine smiles and gives Ria a hug.

    Jasmine

    “Hello little sis. Long time no see.”

    Ria

    “What the hell are you doing here? First Patti and now you!”

    Jasmine

    “You don’t sound to happy to see me? I haven’t seen you in a few years.”

    Jasmine

    “Well your so busy with your career so I wouldn’t see how you would have time.”

    Jasmine

    “Never, You’re my sister. I always have time for you. Where’s Patti at? Can I come in?”

    Ria

    “I guess!” She says motioning for her to come in. Jasmine walks in and sees her mother Patti. She hug her.

    Jasmine

    “Hello darling. Was the house hard to find?”

    Jasmine

    “Not at all.”

    Ria

    “Wait a minute. You asked Jasmine to come here?”

    Patti

    “I did darling. I haven’t seen my girls together in a very long time. I thought we could spend some time together.”

    Ria

    “In my house?”

    Jasmine

    “That’s where we are at.”

    Ria

    “I can’t take this. This is too much. How can you just invite people to my house Patti?”

    Patti

    “It wasn’t just anybody. Jasmine is your sister.”

    Ria

    “How long yall gone be here?”

    Patti

    “Why, you got something to do? I haven’t seen you working so I know you don’t have a job. How are you paying your rent and your bills?”

    Ria

    “Nunya.”

    Jasmine

    “Victoria come on, don’t talk to Patti like that.”

    Ria

    “I am about to explode. Yall working my last nerves. My sovereignty has just been invaded by you two. I have a life you know.”

    Patti

    “Your life includes your sister and Miss Patti. Now you better change that attitude girl.”

    Ria

    “I need a damn drink. Yall driving me to drink.” Ria grabs her purse and begins to head out the door.

    Patti

    “Don’t walk out that door. How rude? Your sister just got here.”

    Ria, looking back at her mother,

    “This is my house and I am a grown ass woman.” After saying that Ria slams her front door and leaves. Jasmine looks at Patti in disbelief.

    Jasmine

    “I see she still has that chip on her shoulder. I’m glad you had me come out here. It’s time for Ria to deal with the truth.”

    Patti

    “You’re right. I don’t know how she’s going to handle what I have to tell her.”

    Jasmine

    “You have to tell Victoria, she has to know the truth.”







    Dre drives his 84 Monte Carlo sitting on 22’s into his driveway of his home in Westwood Park with his brother Kiko in the passenger seat.

    Kiko

    “Why are we here?”

    Dre

    “We really need to talk.”

    Kiko

    “Talk about how my own brother killed a pregnant woman? I could have been killed because of you ? What the hell is the matter with you? When is this going to stop? When are you going to be done running this streets? There is nothing good out here. I told you if you needed some money I would loan you some. Now because you are hard headed, you got us caught up in some deep [!@#$%^&*]. How am I supposed to keep silent about you killing Lauren? I’m a doctor. I took vow’s to save lives Dondre. “

    Dre

    “You don’t know the whole story. Chillax. I want to show you something.”

    Kiko

    “You are straight up tripping. This is the last time I am riding in this damn ghetto mobile. This damn things sit to high off the ground. I have to literally jump in and jump out.” He says as he jumps out of the car. They walk up to the front door and Dre pulls an eviction notice down from his door. He then looks at Kiko.

    “This is the reason I need fast money man. I am about to lose everything. Working for my money the legal way just aint getting me my money fast enough. I don’t want loans from you. I am my own man and will make my own ends meet.”

    Kiko

    “Look, I just want to get home, into the safety of my own home. Can we please hurry this up?”

    Dre

    “You always bitching about something.” Dre opens his door and Kiko follows Dre inside. Suddenly Lauren walks out from the back room.

    Kiko

    “I think I got a contact from that drug stick you smoked in the car. I am now seeing things.”

    Dre

    “No you not bruh, it’s the real thing. Lauren isn’t dead. We faked her death. This was a set up.”

    Lauren, smiling

    “Hi Kiko.”

    Lavender Hill, Sabryn's Mansion

    Ashley, Sabryn, Gilbert, and Bryan look at Natalia in shock.

    Natalia, looking At Ashley,

    "I am here for my son Ashley. Diego and I had a very interesting conversation about you. Like for starters, you and him were in co-hoots to steal my baby. You paid him off to kidnap my child. You told him to tell me my son was dead, Diego gave my son to you so you can pass him off as your own with Bryan."

    Ashley

    "This is absurd. Do you know how ridiculous you sound right now? And people call me crazy…."

    Sabryn

    "I don't understand any of this. First Ashley is dead, then she's not, now the wacko is alive with Bryan's child, Oh, wait, Ashley stole the child from Natalia. Give me a break. Gilbert call the police."

    Natalia

    "Yes, do that. I have nothing to lose."

    Ashley

    "This is my son and no one is going to take him away from me. I would watch my step if I were you Natalia. I know a lot more about you than you think."

    Natalia

    "Ashley please. I am not afraid of you. I get down with the best of them. "

    Ashley, looking at Sabryn,

    "Sabryn, hang up that damn phone. This is my son!"

    Natalia

    "Getting nervous aren't you Ashley? I would be too."

    Bryan

    "This is getting out of hand. Either Ashley or Natalia are lying. It's time to get to the truth."

    Sabryn

    "And how are we going to do that?"

    Bryan

    "Call Diego up, We can meet him at the hospital for paternity test on this child Ashley is holding."

    Ashley

    "He's our son and don't refer to him like that again."

    Bryan

    "We'll get a paternity test done on Bryan Jr."

    Sabryn

    "Hell No! My son's name is Bryan Jr. He will keep that name. I'll fight for it in courts."

    Bryan

    "Every one shut the hell up! ……Then we'll get a DNA test on Ashley and once we have all these answers, we can take things from there."

    Sabryn

    "Don't say we. I have nothing to do with this. I am staying here with my son. I need time to myself to collect my thoughts."

    Bryan

    "Gilbert isn't staying here with you."

    Gilbert

    "At Least I wont cheat on her!"

    Sabryn

    "Fine Bryan! Gilbert can you go with them to keep me posted?"

    Bryan

    "I can keep you informed baby. I am still your fiancée. Nothing has changed for us."

    Ashley

    "Not yet."

    Sabryn

    "Get these Bitches out my house before I kill one of them!"

    Bryan

    "Ok lets go." Bryan escorts Ashley and the baby and Natalia out the house to get answers on who is the momma!

We still haven't figured that one out. I have a pregnant dead woman laying at the morgue at Huntington. You may know her, Lauren Roman? I don't know if Abe was a dirty cops or not but it seems a lot of things happened under his watch, and Mike you are the man to clean things up. I will also need you to help in the formal investigation of alleged allegations against the expired police chief. There's a nice compensation and benefits package. So I guess now it's up to you Mike. I trust no one else to handle these urgent matters in these trying times."

    Mike

    "Well when you put it like that, how can I say no? I'll accept the position of Police Chief sir. Thank you very much."

    Ray

    "Thank you sir. Welcome back to the police force. And please, clean this place up."

    Mike

    "That will be my sole mission. I'll have this city safe again in no time."

    Ray

    "I trust you will. Now if you will excuse me, I have a re-election campaign to get back to."

    Mike takes this as a cue to leave and does so with a big smile on his face and with a big sense of pride that he is now the newest police chief of Pasadena.





    Lavender Hill, Ty's Mansion

    Karl is sitting in his office , all alone in the mansion, and just finishes smoking a cigar as Jenn walks in.

    Karl

    "Ahhh, Jenn, its about time you arrived. "

    Jenn

    "What the hell do you want? I'm a busy woman and don't have time for people like you. "

    Karl

    "Busy doing what? Cheating on my son with that Latin boy? Now now, is that really the way to talk to the man who holds your entire life in his hands? "

    Jenn, rolling her eyes ,

    "Shut up, I don't buy into your threats. If you only brought me here to taunt me with empty words then I'll be leaving. "

    Jenn turns to leave but Karl stands and grabs her by the arm.

    Jenn

    "Let go of me you a$$hole!"

    Karl

    "Sit down, Jennifer, we have a lot to discuss. "

    Karl throws Jenn down into a chair forcefully, and she angrily looks up at him.

    Jenn

    "Just wait until I tell Ty about this! If it wasn't for him you'd be out on the streets with that transgender Rufus."

    Karl, laughing ,

    "My son would never do such a thing. Especially not for you. Because I can throw you off that high horse of yours anytime I like. "

    Jenn

    "Would you stop? I'm getting pretty damn sick of you in general. Just like Jodie. Well, guess what, Karl? I've WON! I won! I got Ty! I won! Get that through your skull! There's nothing anyone can do to stop me now! "

    Karl

    "I was never a huge Jodie fan, but she was better than you. "

    Jenn shoots up and throws herself onto the desk, and begins to try to strangle Karl! Karl's eyes fill with anger and he grabs her arms and twists them, and tosses her to the ground. He stands and walks around his desk and looks at her lying on the ground, and grabs her and pulls her back up on her feet, but doesn't let go of her.

    Karl

    "You're certainly a feisty one. Its time you're knocked down a notch. "

    Jenn, breathing heavily

    "You can't do anything to me. "

    Karl

    "Oh yes I can, darling, oh yes I can. You see, I want my son away from the likes of you. And if you don't break up with Ty, I'll show him those lovely pictures I snapped of you sleeping with Santino!"





    Westwood Park, Ria's House

    Patti is sitting in the living room, combing one of her wigs as Ria walks in the front door.

    Patti

    "Hey baby girl."

    Ria

    "Hey."

    Patti

    "Where you been? You left poor old miss Patti alone. I don't know nothing in this city."

    Ria

    "You're a superstar. Why should it matter if I am here or not. You know how to make friends don't you?"

    Patti

    "Don't talk to Patti Patti like that darling. I do not know where you got all this attitude from. But I surely didn't teach you nothing of the such. I've been here a few weeks now and we hardly have gotten the chance to sit down and talk or catch up."

    Ria, sitting on the couch,

    "Fine, let's get this out the way. All you want to do is be nosey and be all up in my business."

    Patti, joining her daughter on the couch

    "Tell me about Karim? Weren't you two engaged?"

    Ria, rolling her eyes,

    "No mother. We called off the engagement."

    Patti

    "Oh my, why?"

    Ria

    "Because I cheated on him."

    Patti

    "Say what?"

    Ria

    "Yea, that's right, I cheated on him."

    Patti

    "What is the matter with you? Is this why Sister Patterson dislikes you?"

    Ria

    "Yup Yup."

    Patti

    "Girl I done told you about this. You are a Labelle. You have to be careful with what you do. We have a reputation to uphold."

    Ria

    "I'm a Winters. You know I am not taking your last name. Besides, that's all I have left of my father."

    Patti

    "You have my blood in your veins., Labelle Blood. I can't believe you did this to that young man? My daughter. A loosey goosey. This makes my heart heavy."

    Ria

    "Well maybe you should just skip town then. I'm not that same sweet little innocent girl. I'm a grown woman now and I have needs. I can't be perfect like the super Great Patti Labelle. Why don't you go harass Jasmine or something?"

    Patti

    "You're my daughter too and I've missed you. I want to spend some time with you. It's obvious you need your mother back in your life. Ain't no daughter of mine is going to be a hussy. You better clean your act up girl, miss Patti is in town and Miss Patti don't play that."

    Ria

    "Give me a break" She says rolling her eyes and getting up off the couch and walking back in her bedroom.

    Ria

    "I have to get her out of town. I can't take much more of this. I'm frustrated, haven't had some d!ck in a while. I need help." She pulls out her cell phone and tries to call Kiko but it goes straight to voicemail. She sighs

    "Kiko, you just don't know. I want some of you and I will have some."





    Pasadena City Jail

    Daniel walks towards Mona's cell.

    He smiles at the sight of Mona behind bars.

    Daniel

    "This is a sight I have been waiting to see for a long time. The craziest Bitch to ever hit the scene is finally getting her due justice."

    Mona

    "Oh please. Don't tell me you are here to gloat. I wouldn't advise that."

    Daniel

    "And why is that?"

    Mona

    "I won't be in here very long at all."

    Daniel

    "Are you kidding yourself? After everything you have done? Did you forget what you've done? Let's go over it shall we? You shot me, and made it look like an attemtpted suicide. While I was recovering in the hospital from that gunshot wound, you injected me with Meth and influenced me to do stupid things. Than you fake my death by using a clone of me then you held me hostage in your torture chamber. I highly doubt, you'll experience freedom any time soon. And even if you do, I swear to God I will kill you. I will not let you get away with the things you did to me and Sharan."

    Mona

    "You're boring me, are you almost done yet?"

    Daniel

    "Don't you have any remorse for what you've done to me? The hell you've put me through?"

    Mona

    "On the contrary, it was quite fun. And If I had the chance to do it again, which I will by the way, I would ,..10 times worse."

    Daniel

    "You need some serious help. You're father really did a number on you. I almost feel sorry for you."

    Mona

    "No need to. Like I said, I will be out of here soon, and when I do, rest assured I am coming for you."

    Daniel

    "I just want to know why? Why did you do all those horrible things to me?"

    Mona

    "I've already told you Danny boy, I hate men. If it were up to me, the world would be nothing but beautiful woman. There be no more war, no more global warming, no more crime. No more shrinking economies, or recessions, no diseases. The world would be a peaceful place."

    Daniel

    "So you took all the frustrations out on me that you had build up for you're father?"

    Mona

    "Abe was not my father. He was my step father slash uncle. So please stop saying that you damned dummy. Look, you double crossed me. You backed out of the deal that you had with Tyler, to help me get Sharan away from my brother and you backed out on me getting revenge on Abe. I could not have you walking the streets telling people who I was. I had too much riding on it. I could not have you exposing me until I was ready to be exposed. So in that regard, you left yourself wide open to a world of pain Danny Boy. That's why I did all those fun things to you. Remember my pet snake the Black mamba, you remember, the one I brought to the hospital to see you." Mona says chuckling.

    Daniel

    "I don't know which fantasy world you are living in, but you will not be released from jail anytime soon. You will pay for what you did to me. I'll never stop, I'll never quit nor will I ever give up seeking revenge on you."

    Mona

    "You're boring me bitch. Get the hell out of here! You just watch you're back. I will be freed and I am coming for you again Danny boy."

    Daniel

    "Crazy Bitch!" And with that, Daniel leaves the police station.





    TC Hotel

    Ty is sitting in his office, smoking a cigar, watching his henchman, Santino, tie up Kiko to a chair.

    Kiko

    "What the hell is going on here? Let me go. I didn't do nothing!"

    Ty

    "You're right pretty boy. But you're brother did."

    Kiko

    "Dondre?! What do you mean? "

    Ty

    "You're brother doesn't know how to respect his boss. He was insubordinate a few days ago."

    Kiko

    "My brother works for you? Doing what?"

    Ty

    "Dre didn't tell you? Well I am surprised" He says chuckling.

    Kiko

    "I've heard a lot of bad things about you. You're nothing good."

    Ty

    "Do you have proof?"

    Kiko

    "Just tell me why am I here?"

    Ty

    "It's very simple. You're collateral. How much does your brother really care about you?"

    Kiko takes a minute to think about all the arguments he's had with his brother since he's arrived to Pasadena. Kiko realizes that he and Dre aren't on the best of terms right now.

    Kiko

    "Collateral for what?"

    Ty

    "Dre needs to take care of something for me, and until it is done, you'll be looking at my face for awhile."

    Kiko tries to break free of the ropes but Santino punches him in the face.

    Ty

    "Oooh, that gotta hurt huh pretty boy."

    Then Dre walks in. He looks over to his left and sees his brother tied up to a chair. Ty pulls his gun out and aims it at Dre, while Santino take his out and aims it at Kiko.

    Kiko

    "Dondre what is going on here? You work for Ty?"

    Dre, looking at Ty

    "Let my brother go!"

    Ty

    "Remember that stunt you pulled the other day, pulling that gun out on me."

    Dre

    "Quite well."

    Ty

    "Paybacks are a bitch"

    Dre

    "Look Ty, my brother has nothing to do with this, Just let him go. I'm here now. You can have me."

    Ty

    "The only thing I wanted was Lauren dead. You came to me looking for work and I gave you what you asked for."

    Kiko

    "Dondre, tell me this isn't true."

    Santino

    "Shut up pretty boy. You talk to much."

    Kiko

    "Untie these damn ropes and I can show you a pretty boy ass kicking."

    Dre

    "Don't touch my brother Tino."

    Ty jams the gun in Dre's temple,

    "This is my show. I call the shots. I give the orders. You got that?"

    Dre

    "It' all good man. I did what you asked me to do. Lauren is dead." I killed Lauren.

    Next Time on S.T.E.A.M.:

    Miss Jenkins exposes another secret Sister Patterson is hiding!
  5. aMLCproduction
    Huntington Memorial Hospital

    Daniel walks over to the nurses station and asks to see Lauren. Dr. Diego Serrano walks over to him.

    Diego

    “You’re here for Lauren ?”

    Daniel

    “Yes Serrano. I received a phone call saying was shot.”

    Diego

    “She’s brain dead. We have her on life support. She’s not going to be able to come back from this.”

    Daniel

    “What about the baby? Can you save the baby?”

    Diego

    “The baby won’t make it either. It will be up to you to say when we can pull the plug.”

    Daniel, a little overwhelmed, voice fades in and out,

    “Can I see her?”

    Diego

    “Of course.”

    Daniel walks into the room where he sees his fiancée, Lauren, laying in the hospital bed. He walks over to her with tears in his eyes. He caresses her cold and pale face.

    “I can’t believe this is happening!. I…can….not…believe it! Why!? How is it that God didn’t let me be the blessing that you deserve? I promised him I was going to be good to you. It’s too late. It’s always the fu(k too late.” Daniel gets angry and pounds his fist on the table.

    “Who did this to you?…I am so sorry Lauren…… I don’t want to live without you. It’s because of you I am alive. I would have raised this child like it was my own. I’d give my life to have either of you two here. You were the one who got me through Mona’s torture chamber. The love I feel for you kept me hanging on to hope…. And this precious baby. The last part of Chris gone. Thanks to Mona. I bet she did this to you. “ His mind goes blank as he looks up into Lauren’s face.

    “Why did you have to leave me Lauren? Why did God do this to you? Why didn’t he take me? Is this my punishment? Is this what I deserve? Not having you in my life.” He puts his head back down on her chest as he realizes he’ll never see the love of his life again.







    Episode: 102, Who’s the Momma?

    Written by ML Cooks with Felicia A. Howard





    Lavender Hill, Sabryn’s Mansion

    Sabryn, who was holding Bryan Jr, puts him down when her cell phone rings. She knew who it was, being that she set a special ring tone for Gilbert.

    “Hello Gilly? Are you outside?”

    Gilbert

    “Yes I am. It’s pure madness out here. WABC, Fox, E! MSNBC, Glamour magazine, and The LA Times are all camped outside the front lawn.”

    Sabryn, looking out her door panel to see the mass media,

    “I’m going to let you in. Hurry up and run in as soon as I open the door.”

    Sabryn opens her front door as Gilbert rushes in. Reporters and news crews try to get a word in with Sabryn but she slams the door in their faces.

    Sabryn ,walking into her living room as Gilbert follows,

    “I don’t think it will ever stop.”

    Gilbert

    “About it tell me. It’s just one thing after another. Where’s Bryan?”

    Sabryn, getting tensed up,

    “He’s in the shower.”

    Gilbert

    “Have you two talked about Ashley?”

    Sabryn

    “I haven’t said not two words to him. I am on fire with my emotions. I don’t want to say anything I will regret.,,, Are you thirsty or hungry? I can have one of the maids get us something.”

    Gilbert

    “No I am ok. Listen, I got some financial reports on SG.”

    Sabryn

    “I know it’s bad considering my brand new wedding line launch was a total flop yesterday.”

    Gilbert

    “Indeed. SG had everything riding on this wedding yesterday. But it was a complete disaster thanks to Ashley.”

    Sabryn

    “I know the reporters had a field day with pictures of me and Ashley rolling around in my wedding cake.”

    Gilbert

    “They did, it’s on the front page of all the major newspapers across the country. Several even took it as far as calling you and Ashley the real-life Krstyle and Alexis off of Dynasty.”

    Sabryn

    “My life is now being mocked. Great!… What is the financial damage so far?”

    Gilbert

    “SG stock is now closing at an all time low. Our stock plunged 52 percent at the close of the business day yesterday. And opening shares today are doing no better.”

    Sabryn shaking her head in disgust,

    “For a long time, outside forces have been controlling my life.”

    Gilbert

    “I think it’s Bryan. His fling with Ashley has caused you a world of pain on so many levels. I really say you just cut your losses now Sabryn.”

    Sabryn

    “Easier said then done. I share a child with Bryan now. “ She looks into his eyes.

    “Are you telling me this as my best friend, or the person who has romantic feelings for me?”

    “Isn’t this interesting?” They both hear Bryan say as he walks down the stairs.

    Bryan

    “You have feelings for my fiancée Gilbert?”

    Sabryn, jumping off the couch,

    “Don’t you dare come down here and question people. You have a child with Ashley for goodness sake.”

    Bryan

    “Don’t say that. We don’t know what is going on. We don’t even know if its really Ashley, let alone if that’s my child she has.”

    Sabryn, breaking into tears,

    “This is too much for me Bryan! Why does this relationship have to hurt me so bad? Why do I always get the short end of the stick? I am sick and tired of this. You slept with that low class skank over a year a go and the ramifications are still being felt to this very day. This very moment. What did I do to deserve all of this Bryan? I want you to tell me.”

    Bryan

    “Honey, just calm down. Wait until we get proof of who this woman really is. I don’t believe it’s Ashley. I ran her over. There’s no way she could have survived something like that, let alone have a child on top of it. It’s just some sick game somebody is playing.”

    Sabryn

    “It’s too late to wait. The damage has been done. The entire country and the world for that matter had a front row seat to our disastrous wedding yesterday. My company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Why am I going through all of this by myself? Why is nothing happening to you? You are the one who cheated and yet me and our son has to pay. Bryan Jr will have to grow up and bear witness to your foolishness.” She slaps him, letting her emotions get the better of her. Then they hear a pounding on the door.

    “Open up! It’s Ashley. Bryan, your son needs to meet his father and he needs some baby wipes. Come on and open up this door!”

    Bryan looks at Sabryn.

    Sabryn

    “The cheap Bitch has the nerve to show her hideous face on my door step.” Bryan Jr begins crying and Sabryn walks over to the crib and picks him up and holds him, looking at Bryan.

    Sabryn

    “Let her in. Let’s solve this mess. I hope God gives me the force not to kill this Bitch. I hate her with every fiber in me.”

    Bryan opens the door and in walks Ashley with her Bryan Jr in a stroller. She sees Sabryn and can tell she is upset. Ashley decides to rub salt in the wound.

    Ashley

    “Looks like we are going to be one big blissful family Sabryn. Who would have guessed it?” She says smirking at Sabryn. Sabryn just rolls her eyes, still rocking BJ in her arms.







    Downtown Pasadena, Pasadena City Jail

    Sister Patterson, along with her two sons walk up to a sergeant.

    Sergeant

    “Yes Sister Patterson?”

    Patterson

    “I want my husband and I want him now! Where is he?”

    Sergeant

    “We’ve been paging him all night and we have not heard nothing yet.”

    Karim

    “That’s not like pops.”

    Kevin

    “I’ll try calling his cell phone again.”

    Sister Paterson

    “Well I want to see the woman that was brought in here last night. She was acting a damn fool in my God’s house. I got something for her though.” Sister Patterson pulls out her bible and her Holy water.

    “I am armed and ready to do the work that needs to be done. I got my third eye and we are ready for the battle field of sin.”

    Kevin, clearing his throat,

    “Let’s not forget about you and DC.”

    Sister Patterson

    “Don’t talk to me like that boy! I am still your mother. This isn‘t about me right now!”

    Sergeant, not wanting the sister to get loud and cause a scene, leads her to the prisoner. Mona walks up to the bars that separate her from her family. Kevin and Karim really look at her and wonder how could a woman do so many heinous crimes.

    Sister Patterson, pointing her long fingernail in Mona’s face,

    “Uhm hmm. Now look, I am only going to say what I have to say the only way I know how to. I only know how to speak the truth. My third eye and I have 3 simple words for you. ……..Who are you?”

    Mona

    “I’m your daughter.”

    Sister Patterson, acting as if she is about to faint putting her hand on her forehead,

    “Lord Have Mercy, the devil is a lair.”

    Kevin

    “How? Then what Sharan told me is true? Did my father really makes us all believe you were dead?”

    Mona

    “Yes that sick son of a bitch did!”

    Sister Patterson throws holy water on her daughter,

    “Thou shall not sin. Don’t talk about my husband like that!”

    Mona, wiping her face,

    “Some husband. I know Abe was not my father. He told me. He told me his brother was. Don.”

    Karim , looking at his sister getting closer to the bars of separation,

    “How do you know all of this?”

    Kevin, looking at his mother,

    “Ma is this true?”

    Sister Patterson

    “Lord have mercy. This can’t be happening. Could you be my baby girl?” She says wiping tears from her eyes.

    “My third eye is telling me you are speaking the truth. But I know my God wouldn’t do this to me. Lord why did he do this to you? Lord, wait till Miss Jenkins find out.”

    Karim and Kevin both roll their eyes at the mentioning of Miss Jenkins.

    Karim

    “Here we go.”

    Mona

    “I know who Miss Jenkins is.”

    Kevin, Karim and especially Sister Patterson look at Mona in shock.

    Kevin

    “Say what?”

    Karim

    “Miss Jenkins is real?”

    Mona

    “I know everything. I’ve been watching my family for a while.”

    Kevin

    “Right, you were the one who were stalking me and Sharan then you kidnapped Sharan! Why?!”

    Mona

    “ Just look at her. She’s every black man’s dream. But she’s mine now. I love her.”

    Sister Patterson, falling back into Karim’s arms,

    “Lord!…Lord.....Oh God NO!!!. Lesbianism. My baby girl is a gay. Lord No. Don’t do this to me. Where is Abe damn it? He needs to be here. He needs to answer all of this. What is happening to my third eye? It didn‘t see none of this!”

    Mona

    “Abe has already answered for his crimes. You won’t be talking to him no time soon.”

    Karim

    “What the hell are you talking about?”

    Kevin, grabbing the bars and yelling at her,

    “What did you to our pops?”

    Then the sergeant walks up to the Williams family.

    “I’m sorry but I have some horrible news. A few of my officers found Abe’s body.”

    Kevin

    “Found his body…..? What does that mean? Is my pops ok?”

    Sergeant

    “I’m sorry, but Abe was found dead.” Sister Patterson faints as Mona smiles. Kevin and Karim look at Mona in disbelief. Their whole family has been turned upside down.





    The Blue Note

    Daniel grabs a seat next to Mike at the bar.

    Daniel

    “Looks like we are two mourning souls about to get drunk.”

    Mike

    “It looks that way. I am not even going to ask how you are doing. I read the newspaper this morning and read about Lauren. I am so sorry.”

    Daniel

    “ I am regretful for you too. I heard about Jodie.” Daniel orders whatever is on tap.

    Mike, taking a sip

    “Why us? What did we do to deserve this man?”

    Daniel

    “Well see, Jodie, and Lauren died two different ways. Lauren was shot. And now she’s brain dead. I want to know who in the hell did that to her. She was pregnant for Fu(k’s sake. She was carrying Chris’s baby. This baby was going to carry on Chris’s spirit. He died for nothing. Thanks to Mona. I bet she is the one who shot her. Before she showed up at the church.”

    Mike

    “The church? Mona is in town?”

    Daniel

    “Yes that crazy nut is. I would have killed her had it not been for Sister Patterson jumping on me. She is purely crazy. I see where Mona gets it from.”

    Mike

    “I have to agree that Sister Patterson is not the sharpest tool in the shed.” They toast up on that one.

    Mike

    “You know, I am really having a hard time trying to put together a funeral for Jodie.”

    Daniel

    “I can’t even bring myself to get around to doing something like that. It’s like I just saw Jodie. We were supposed to meet up Sabryn and Bryan’s wedding. I just proposed to her. I mean I just got Lauren back in my life and now’s she’s been ripped from it again. Forever.”

    Daniel then gets a phone call. He answers it.

    “Are you sure?…. Don’t we have anymore time?….. I understand.” Daniel hangs up his phone and finishes the rest of his beer in one swallow.

    Mike

    “Is everything ok?”

    Daniel

    “The hospital pulled the plug on Lauren’s life support. It’s official. She’s gone. “

    Mike

    “I feel your pain. I was throwing a surprise birthday party for Jodie, but when I showed up, she was already gone.” He says, getting choked up. He takes a sip of his beer.

    Mike

    “I just had a thought. Why don’t we plan Lauren and Jodie’s funeral together. It will make it easier for us to get through it. We are going through the same thing.”

    Daniel

    “You’re right. We can get Sister Patterson to help.”

    Mike

    “Sounds great. Two great woman, Gone forever.” Just then, Mike’s cell phone rings. He pulls it out his pocket and answers it.

    “Hello?”

    “Is this Michael Dietz?”

    “It is who’s calling?”

    “Mayor Ray Nagin. Mike we have a crisis on our hands and I need to speak with you right away.”

    Mike

    “You want to speak to me about it?”

    Ray

    “Yes I do. Abe has been found dead and a city wide crisis is looming. Their has been a crime wave here in Pasadena and I need you help.”

    Mike

    “Ok sir, I’ll be down at city hall in thirty minutes.” Mike then hangs up the phone.

    Daniel

    “City hall? What’s going on?”

    Mike

    “Abe was found dead.”

    Daniel

    “Everybody is dying. What the hell is going on?”

    Mike

    “Mayor Nagin wants to talk with me. I’ll keep you updated. I got a feeling he wants me to join the police force again. I may need your help. Too many crimes here in Pasadena have gone unanswered for.”

    Daniel

    “You’re right on about that one. I know just where to start, Mona and Tyler.”

    Mike

    “My thoughts exactly. And that’s why I will need your help. I’ll be in touch.” Mike leaves. Daniel keeps sipping on his beer.

    “I will find out who killed you Lauren, and I promise you I will make them pay!”





    Back on Lavender Hill, Sabryn’s Mansion

    Bryan, taking control of the situation before things get out of hand.

    Bryan

    “Don’t start nothing Ashley. I think you have done enough. We want some answers.”

    Sabryn

    “I sat in jail because of you. You were alive this whole damn time! Even your own sister Alexis sat in jail for your supposed death.”

    Ashley

    “Well, I am sorry for the inconvenience. But I am here and alive and I bore Bryan a son.” She looks at Bryan.

    “Come meet Bryan Jr.”

    Sabryn

    “Bryan Jr? No ............no, that’s my son’s name.”

    Ashley

    “My son is older and it’s on his birth certificate. So I guess my son gets to keep his name.”

    Sabryn

    “I can’t believe this. It keeps getting worse.”

    Bryan looks at Ashley’s son,

    “He does have my facial features. He looks like Bryan Jr too.”

    Ashley

    “You mean your son with Sabryn? Isn’t it ironic that both your sons have the same name.”

    Sabryn

    “I’ll say. And you just knew when to tell us all about it. At my wedding huh? I bet this was all set up! “

    Ashley

    “No it was no set up. Thanks to Dr. Serrano and his health facility in the Bahamas, I was nursed back to health. At the time I was runned down, I was already with child. Thanks to Diego and his excellent team of doctors, I was able to survive with Bryan’s child.”

    Sabryn

    “Well isn’t that all so convenient?”

    Ashley

    “Is is Sabryn? I did not asked to be mowed down by Bryan.”

    Bryan

    “Correction, Alexis was driving a u haul truck during that dark and stormy night that rammed into the back of Sabryn’s car. It does sound like a set up. You were being to nice back at the hospital thank to your physical attack on Sabryn, waving the white flag. Even Sabryn told me it was too good to be true. I bet you and Alexis had this planned from day one huh?”

    Ashley

    “Such a vivid imagination. Did I ask mother nature to make it rain?”

    Sabryn

    “Then why where you at Bryan’s house that night of the storm? Standing in the rain no less.”

    Ashley

    “I had forgot some expensive lingerie at Bryan’s house and I wanted to get it back.”

    Sabryn

    “I bet your broke ass did.”

    Ashley

    “Grow up Sabryn. You would think mother hood would have changed you but I see it has not. You’re still that bitter bitch with a smart ass mouth. By the way, I had fun rolling around in that cake getting your million dollar dressed ruined. Did you see the papers? We look so good on the covers, covered up in cake.”

    Sabryn, putting her son back down in the crib,

    “There she goes Bryan! That’s the sh!t I am talking about. I can’t deal with this.”

    Bryan, walking over to stand in between the ladies before the claws come out so soon again,

    “There is no way I am going to believe this is my child with out a paternity test. This could be more trickery your trying to pull.” He says looking at Ashley.

    Ashley

    “I have no problem with that. Shall we go now?”

    Then, they hear another pounding at the door.

    Sabryn

    “Who the hell is it now?”

    “Natalia! Let me in. I need my baby!”

    Ashley is taken aback. Her face begins to get warmer. She wonders if Natalia knows that she stole her baby.

    Sabryn

    “What the hell is that extreme Bitch talking about?”

    Bryan, also confused,

    “Did she say her baby?”

    Gilbert

    “Yes she did. Should I open the door?”

    Sabryn

    “Why the hell not? The more the merrier I suppose.” Gilbert opens the door and in barges Natalia. She sees Ashley and walks over to her.

    Sabryn

    “Natalia, what the hell are you doing here?”

    Natalia

    “Ashley has my baby and I would like my son back.”

    Ashley

    “Have you lost your mind? This is my son!”
    Natalia

    “Diego told me everything. You stole my son from me and I want him back now!” Sabryn and Bryan are stunned! Ashley wonders how she is going to get out of this one.

    Bryan wonders if this is true, and if it is, is it his child with Natalia, which would mean Sabryn is about to find out he slept with another one of her arch enemies, Natalia!

    Next time on S.T.E.A.M.:

    Lauren’s Killer is revealed!

    More Breaking News

    The upheaval on S.T.E.A.M. continues. Many industry insiders wonder what is going on. Here’s the latest

    Many cast exits will take place as the new season premiers.

    First with Diego.

    “Diego’ is no longer needed in Pasadena.” The series creator told reporters at press time.

    “Kiko is now firmly in place as the prominent doctor in Pasadena and Kiko is tied to a major character, Dondre. Kiko plays Dondre’s brother . “In a time where I want to broadened the story base and cut the fat, Diego was an obvious choice as his story never picked up. We thank Diego for his time and talent for the pat two season’s and we wish the actor well.” ML said. No last air date has been set.



    Also slated to leave is Mark Mortimer, who plays Mark. “Mark is another casualty of the fat cut. Mark was never a major character in Pasadena. His storyline has come to an end. After coming to terms, with Rufus, Natalia, and Dahlia, Mark will simply leave town.” Mr. Mortimer played Nick on NBC’s now defunct Another world before joining S.T.E.A.M.

    Sanaai lathan OUT as Sharan!!

    “We felt the need to recast the role with a stronger actress. Sanaai really never caught on with the readers and Sharan’s role will be more prominent this season o the decision was made to let Sanaai go.

    IN NIA LONG as the new Sharan!

    Ni Long is the third actress to tackle the role of Sharan. The first being Sharon Leal from Guiding Light. “ We are so happy and honored to have the beautiful Nia Long join the ranks of S.T.E.A.M.” Ml was quoted saying. Nia Long’s Sharan will debut in the season premiere, episode 101.



    Also, another casting coup.

    IN JASMINE GUY!!

    Jasmine Guy has been casted in the original role of Ria’s sister. Ria’s family is growing as Ria will be featured in a major storyline this season. Ria will really need her family very soon. “ IT was good to finally have Ria in a front burner storyline of her own. Her family will be needed to tell Ria’s new storyline.” Tara Smith, the series Co EP and CO HW told reporters at press time. “It’s been a long time coming” Actress Victoria Rowell said on her blog. “ I almost left the series.

    As if these cast changes were not enough, rumors still persist that more cast changes are on the way.

    Breaking NEWS!!!!!

    By aMLCproduction,

    Season 2 will probably go down as the campiest ever to hit the blog scene. From, the pre transsexual Rufus getting his manhood sawed off by psychotic Ashley, to Mona raping her step father with a dildo. To all the outlandish stunts that Sister Patterson pulls, to the erotic sex scenes between Jenn and Santino or Mark and Rufus, to the mysterious Miss Jenkins, to Jenn’s rivalry with Jodie which led to Jenn black mailing Jodie about her HIV status, to Mona holding the deziens of Pasadena at gun point inside her mother’s church, to The Lady in Red and to Chris's shocking death by the gas chamber.

    Some ask where does it go from here?

    It goes, and a lot will be going on. So many storylines are at the climax and they all will be intertwining within one another.

    Readers can also a expect to see changes when the third season kicks off.

    First off, this season will be more about character and emotionally driven stuff if you can believe that. S.T.E.A.M. will always be campy but things will be more toned down as we learn who these people really are, where they come from and where are they going. Almost everyone on the canvas is at a major cross roads.

    The look of the series will change some what. I am aiming to make the episodes more reader friendly as possible, so the pictures don’t distract from what’s happening.

    There are also some new creative forces behind the scenes. Tara Smith, the Creator of Life in Salem, has been promoted to Co Executive Producer and will now also serve in the capacity of co head writer as well. Some may find this decision odd considering I just left Tara’s series due to conflicting visions of “Life in Salem“. To say the least, Tara and I are good friends, and she brings a breath of fresh air to this series. Welcome Tara.

    Also on to some more shocking casting news:

    SABRYN RECASTED!

    The decision has been made to recast the role of Sabryn G. Davidson.

    Sabryn Genet, who originated the role of Sabryn was informed she taped her last scenes back in early August.

    “We are taking Sabryn in a new direction” ML was quoted saying.



    Christina Applegate has been tapped to take over the role of Sabryn.

    “We are pleased to have her” Co Ep Tara Smith told reporters.

    “We understand she is going through personal struggles and we will not impose on her health what so ever. We were able to work out a nice contract.” Details of the contracts were yet to be made available.

    Christina’s Sabryn debuts in episode 101, a date yet to be announced.

    When Christina was asked how did she feel about returning to work, she was quoted as saying

    “I’m getting better and stronger everyday. When Marlin approached me about playing Sabryn, I was over whelmed. I watch S.T.E.A.M. faithfully and now to be a part of it, it’s amazing. Marlin has some great stuff coming up for Sabryn.”





    Another Role has been Recasted!

    Neo soul singer D’angelo, has been released from his contract. The singer is currently going through some trouble with law and is believed to be the reason he has been fired.

    “We thank D for his time in the role of Dre. When D’ Angelo was casted, Dondre was going in a different direction. Once again, Dondre is going in a different direction and D no longer fits in the form of that.” Series Creator ML Cooks was quoted saying.

    D’Anglo’s last air date was in the Season 2 Finale, August 15th.

    D’ Angelo was the 2nd actor to tackle the role of Dondre. Dondre t. Whitfield was the fist actor to do so.

    Now meet the third Dondre (Dre) Whitfield

    Rapper T.I. has been casted as the 3rd Dre.

    “It certainly was a coup” Sources were heard saying. “T.I. is a perfect match for Dre’s new direction. We are glad to have T.I. join our already diverse list of performers.” T.I. debuts in the season 3 premiere.

    As we saw in the finale, Patti Labelle has joined the show in the role of Ria’s mother. Expect to learn of some secrets from Ria’s past as her mother mixes it up in the crazy city of Pasadena.

    Also casted is Tyler Perry’s Madea in the role of Miss Jenkins, Sister Patterson much talked about “persona” .“Miss Jenkins now has a face. Expect a few surprise where Madea is concerned. She knows a few secrets about Sister Patterson. Mable Madea Jenkins will be on as a recurring character. Her stay is short term the head writer confirms.

    Sounds like a lot of up heaveal and mayhem going in front and behind the scenes. I just ask everyone be patient as we make this series even better.



    Stay tuned for a premiere date and story previews!!!!

    ~Rumor also has it that season 3 could be S.T.E.A.M.’s last….~

    P.S. I would like to hear from you! Tell me what was your favortie storyline from Season 2 and your least favorite and why.

    In an undisclosed Location

    Mona and Ashley both are at a loss for words as they realize Sharan and Rufus have escaped.

    Mona

    "This can't be happening. " Mona falls to her knees.

    "I can't believe she betrayed me."

    Ashley

    "I told you she was playing you."

    Mona, wiping a tear from her eye,

    "Why don't you get the hell out of here? Our time together has come to an end."

    Ashley

    "Mona, I'm sorry,.. I didn't mean too-.."

    Mona

    "I don't want to hear it. My baby has betrayed me. I love her. She told me she would stand by me. It was all lies."

    Ashley

    "Mona I am so sorry."

    Mona, pulling out a gun as she stands back up,

    "I told you to get the hell out! You are on your own. I am taking no prisoners now. You better hope you catch Rufus."

    Ashley

    "Will do, Mona thank you for everything and-"

    Mona, putting the gun against her Ashley's head,

    "You think I'm playing don't you? The game is up. It's time to end all of this. I am sick of everything. I am sick of life. I don't want to live like this no more. It all ends here. Starting with you leaving or I'll shoot you and your son."

    Ashley, holding Bryan jr the 1st closer to her, takes heed to Mona's warning, and leaves the undisclosed location. Mona closes the door behind her. She then sits at the table and pulls out a sac of weed from her afro, as Abe comes too and begins to cough.

    Abe, barely able to speak

    "What is going on?"

    Mona, breaking her weed down as memories of being tied up and molested by her "step father" run rampant through her head. Tears begin to fall from her eyes. She wipes her tears not wanting to show Abe her wet pain. She continues to break her weed down so she can smoke it,

    "It's time for the big payback. I am sick of this life. I am sick of pain. I am tired of being hurt. I don't even know who I am as a woman thanks to you." She licks up her blunt and lights it up, holding in the smoke, hoping it will ease her pain.

    Abe

    "I-..I'm sorry."

    Mona, inhaling and exhaling

    "It' too late for all of that Abraham. I don't know my mother, my brothers and now my real father." She continues to smoke as the tears still fall down her face.

    "It all ends here Abe. Tonight. I am done with all of this and it's time to close the chapter." She ashes her blunt and walks up to Abe and looks into his eyes. He looks back at her.

    Abe

    "You're going to kill me? Then do it. I deserve to die." He says with tears forming in his eyes as his guilt haunts him on the inside." Just kill me and be done with it. I am ready to die"

    Mona, chuckling a little bit

    "I can't make it that easy. I wouldn't be Mona if I did." She walks over to her black magic bag of tricks and pulls out a large strap on. She smacks the dildo in Abe's face.

    Abe

    "What the hell is that?"

    Mona

    "It's called a dildo. A strap on. Or I like to call it the golden rule. Do unto others as you would do unto them." Mona pulls out a remote and pushes play on the stereo. The song "The big Payback" by the late James Brown begins to play.

    Abe, slowly realizing what is about to happen to him,

    "I know I have no right to ask anything of you, but please just kill me now."

    Mona, then stuffs Abe's mouth with Rufus's dick that she sees on the ground.

    "Suck on that bitch. I am tired of talking. No more games.' She says as she rips her clothes of her body to reveal a G-string that she is wearing. Mona then reaches down in her bag of tricks and pulls out a whip. She cracks the whip and then slaps Abe with it, like a slave on a cotton plantation. Abe hollers out in pain. Mona then wraps the strap on holder around her waist and then takes the dildo and puts it in place. She turns Abe on his stomach, who was laying on his back. Abe begins to holler out for his manhood.

    Mona

    "Don't holler out now. You deserve this." Mona then gets on top of her stepfather and jams the dildo into his ass. Abe screams so hard, he loses his voice. Mona smiles, as she feels some sort of relief, finally doing something to Abe she's vowed to do to him, raping him ,just like he used to rape her. She begins to burst into a flurry of tears and laughter at the same time on

    The Season 2 finale of

    Meanwhile, What Mona doesn't know, is that Sharan and Rufus have crawled up into a hole up to a 2nd floor it seems from the undisclosed location. Sharan pulls Rufus, whom is unconscious at this point up through the hole of the floor. Sharan looks around and sees what seems to be like some one's basement. She stands up and sees a stair case.

    "Rufus, I'm going to get help. I'll be back." She sheds a tear looking at Rufus, who just got his dick chopped off. She hurries up the stairs and opens up the door. The house is darkened with a foul odor.

    "Smell like death in here" She makes her way around the house to find the front door. She finds it and opens it and steps outside. She realizes she is across the street from the William house. Sharan is stunned that she was so close to the Williams house. She looks back at the house she came out of and she realizes it was Miss Jenkins House, the one Sister Patterson is so protective of. Sharan nearly faints but gets a hold of herself, realizing help is what she needs. She decides not to run over to the Williams house, not knowing what to make of the connection of Sister Paterson, and Miss Jenkins, and being held captive beneath Miss Jenkins basement. She decides to try and find Dondre.

    Sabryn

    "I really am so sorry for the loss of Jodie. She really seems liked a nice woman."

    Ria

    "Girl you gone make me cry and mess up my make-up."

    Sabryn

    "It feels kind of strange getting married today."

    Ria

    "You have been waiting for this day for a long time. God has plans for all of us girl. You deserve this. You have a family with Bryan , so it's time to make it official."

    Sabryn, smiling

    "I guess you're right. Bryan and I have been through so much."

    Ria

    "But you got through it all. I wish I had a love like that."

    Sabryn

    "You did."

    Ria

    "I know and I messed up. And now he's with some whi-" She catches her self looking in the mirror at Sabryn.

    Sabryn

    "What's the matter?

    Ria

    "Alexis. Karim is with Alexis now."

    Sabryn

    "Do you still love Karim?"

    Ria

    "Karim will always hold a place in my heart. But I've moved on. I got my eye on this doctor, girl."

    Patti then comes barging in,

    "Sorry I am late darlings"

    Sabryn's jaw drops as she sees Patti Labelle. Ria rolls her eyes.

    Sabryn

    "Oh my god, It's Patti Labelle. What are you doing here? You're here for my wedding?"

    Patti

    "My daughter hasn't told you? "
    Sabryn, raising an eyebrow

    "Daughter?…" She looks at Ria.

    Ria

    "Sabryn, Patti Labelle is my mother ok?"

    Sabryn

    "This is a joke right?"

    Patti

    "No, darling. Ria is embarrassed of me."

    Sabryn, giving Patti a hug,

    "I had no idea. I just can't believe this. I am a huge fan. You have a great voice."

    Patti

    "Thank you darling. So this is the big day huh? Tying the knot. Oh, I am so happy for you." She says giving her another hug.

    Ria

    "Ok that's enough, We were busy mother. You can just go out there in the church and let it be known that the great "Patti Patti" is here."

    Patti

    "That's right darling" …Breaking into song.."Say my name"

    Sabryn, knowing what that means and joins in on the song,

    "Patti Patti…."

    Patti

    "Oh Darling, you got you a nice voice as well."

    Ria

    "That's enough, I was doing her hair."

    Patti, looking up at Sabryn's half done hair,

    "OOh, honey, I hope not."

    Sabryn

    "What's the matter? You don't like it?"

    Ria, sucking her teeth

    "Excuse me?"

    Patti

    "Honey, sit in this chair and Miss Patti will make it better." Patti bumps her daughter out the way to sit Sabryn down.

    Ria, shaking her head and is about to say something smart until Sister Patterson barges in by screaming "Halleluiah.!!!!" Sabryn, and Patti look at her like she's crazy. Ria, used to Crazy Patterson's outlandish tone is not faded and yawns. Sister Patterson looks at Patti, She slowly walks into the room and over toward Patti Labelle. Sister Patterson sizes up Patti. Patti, realizing what this seemingly psycho woman with a receding hairline is sizing her up and Patti does the same. Sabryn and Ria watch with interest, and wonder what is going to happen between Sister Patterson vs. Patti Labelle.





    Meanwhile, back underneath Miss Jenkins Basement

    Mona, getting tired and low on energy, and with blood pouring out of Abe's a$$hole decides to stop her strange justice against her step dad. She gets off of him and takes off the strap on. She sit back down at the table and lights up her blunt again. She laughs, watching Abe laying on the bed, unconscious. As Mona smokes, more memories come back to haunt her and she speaks on them.

    "Remember the last day we saw one another. It was such a tragedy. You tried to get rid of me. You tired to erase your guilt and hide from the world the true you. A sick child molester." She begins to burst into tears.

    "I'm crazy because of what you did to me. Every single day, I have memories of you raping me, night after night! I hate you! I hope you rot in hell. " She wipe more tears.

    "You tried to erase me by burning me alive and then when I didn't die then, you buried a hole in the ground and threw me in there. Well look at me now mutha fu(ker Back from the dead, and alive and well. I survived all of that. All of it, just to do the same thing to you. I want you to know how it feels to have your skin melt. It's a fu(king wrap Abe." Mona throw her blunt down, and lets the anger get the better of her. She reaches into her magic bag of tricks and pulls out a can of gasoline and pours it all over Abe.

    "Son of a bitch! Sweet revenge. I love it. " Mona grabs Abe's body and drags it outside, through the tunnel that leads up to the ground.





    Back at Can I get a witness West Coast Baptist Church

    Bryan stands in the mirror fixing his tie as Kiko stands in the back of him, sipping on champagne.

    Kiko

    "Congratulations Bryan."

    Bryan

    "Thanks man. This has been long in the making. Sabryn and I have gotten over some very rough times but we've made it and I could not be happier." Just then Dre barges in. Kiko and Bryan are both surprised to see how well Dondre cleans up in a suite. Dre is not to thrilled to see his brother.

    Kiko

    "You look handsome Dondre. I don't think I've ever seen you in a suite before."

    Dre

    "Well this aint nothing big man. Don't make a big deal out of it alright?"

    "I don't want to keep harping on you but are you sure you ok?"

    Dre

    "Yea man, everything is ok. I just get uncomfortable being in a suite and it's hot as hell in here."

    Bryan

    "I guess it's time. You got the rings?"

    Dre

    "Oh sh!t bruh, I pawned them"

    Bryan's jaw drops in shock,

    "Tell me your joking."

    Dre ,smiling

    "I am playing man. Sh'mone, lets do this. Let's make you a husband bruh." Bryan takes a deep breath and walks into the church to meet and greet the guest which include, Alexis ,Ladonna, Karim, Kevin, Daniel, Ty, and Jenn.





    Mona is driving her car on the highway with Abe in the passenger seat. She pulls up to the area where her bunker once stood. She puts the car in park and then looks over at Abe. He wakes up. His body is going into shock and begins to shiver. He slowly looks around and has a feeling in his soul that this is it. He leans his head back and closes his eyes.

    "I know this means nothing to you, but I want you to know I am sorry."

    Mona continues to sit in silence, eyes watering up again. She wipes her cheek and then gets out of the car. She walks around the passenger side and pushes Abe toward the driver's seat. After positioning her step father firmly in the drivers seat she steps back and takes in the scene. Abe, about to meet his maker. Mona is about to deliver her ultimate payback to Abe. Once she lets the scene marinate on her mind, she then walks over toward the car. She reaches in and puts the car in drive. As the car slowly drifts toward the cliff, Mona lights up a match and throws inside the car so it can land on Abe. Abe immediately lights up into a fire. The car makes it to the cliff, going to slow for Mona, she runs over and gives the car a little push. The car finally falls of the cliff and lands 200 feet below, crashing back into earth, bursting in a ball of fire. Mona looking over the cliff, watches with a smile on her face, as the car burns with Abe in it. Mona is so over whelmed with emotion, she falls back onto the ground. She looks up toward the sky,

    "Thanks you." She burst into tears as she continues to look up at the heavens.

    "Thank you. It's over. It's all over." She stands back up and walks over toward the cliff to get one last look at Abe's fiery death. Being complete, having come full circle, Mona casually walks away, headed back to Pasadena on foot.





    Back at the Church

    Sister Patterson stops looking at Patti and looks at Ria.

    "Slut"

    Patti

    "Say what?"

    Sister Patterson

    "Miss, Labelle, I do like your music. You should join my gospel choir. If you don't mind, this is my God's house, and he doesn't not like jezebels like this tramp here. You should not surround yourself with such trash any way. It's time go to work." Sister Patterson grabs Ria's arm but Patti then pulls the sister off of Ria.

    Patti

    "Darling, I don't know who you think you are, but if you talk about my daughter like that again, there will be smoke in the city."

    Sister Patterson

    "Your daughter?"

    Ria

    "Yea you crazy bat, this is my mother. How you like them apples?"

    Sister Patterson

    "I can see it now. You two got that same big forehead."

    Patti gasps

    Ria

    "Girl Please, you have to wear wigs to keep up with that receding hairline."

    Sabryn

    "Alright stop. This is getting out of control."

    Patti

    "You can say that again. Sorry darling. It's a shame we had to be subject to some crazy woman's charade." Patti heads out of the room.

    Sister Patterson

    "I don't care who your mother is…" Sabryn pushes Ria out the room and then Sabryn runs out as well and closes the door behind her. She locks the door, locking Sister Patterson in the room.

    Ria

    "Girl you are crazy. Some one need to lock that wild bat up."

    Patti

    "She messing with Miss Patti and Miss Patti doesn't go for that. She ought to be a shamed of her self for acting like that." They walk down the hall, as Sister Patterson bangs on the door

    "You dumb devils. How dare you do this to me? I'll get all of yens!"





    Miss Jenkins House

    Rufus is laying on the basement floor. He can hear some one slowly walking down the stairs with a bright flashlight. Rufus tries to open his eyes to see who it is. The person gasps at seeing Rufus's bloody "nub".

    Rufus, whispering

    "Help me."

    Person responding back,

    "How the hell did you get in my house?"

    Rufus

    "Please help me, who are you?"

    "Miss Jenkins. Mable Madea Jenkins honey. "

    Rufus passes out again.





    Back at the church

    Kiko, who is sitting next to Daniel, notices that he keeps checking his watch.

    "Is everything ok?"

    Daniel

    "I hope so. Lauren told me she would meet me here. I just thought she would be here by now."

    Kiko

    "You try calling her cell phone?"

    Daniel

    "No, I mean, she dropped hers last night in the toilet."

    Kiko frowns up.

    Daniel

    "Don't ask. But she was out getting a new one."

    Kiko

    "There probably busy at the cell phone place."

    Daniel

    "You're right"

    Standing by the minister are Bryan and Dre. Dre notices Daniel looking at his watch repetitively. Dre begins to sweat a little more and tries to avoid making eye contact.

    Kiko, watching his brother, knows something is wrong with Dre.

    "My brother, sure is acting strange."

    Daniel, now looking at Dre

    "Why do you say that?"

    Kiko

    "Something is way off, I just can feel it."

    Meanwhile Karim is sitting in the middle of LaDonna and Alexis. Alexis, who doesn't understand why Karim's secretary is here as well decides to ask him about it.

    "Can I talk to you?"

    Karim

    "Are you going to keep lying to me?"

    Alexis

    "How many times do I have to tell you, it was my TV. And I was in the shower."

    Karim

    "I know what I heard. I heard you arguing with someone and I heard a baby crying. You are hiding something from me. I don't think we have much else to say to one another."

    Alexis shakes her head in frustration and feels like she could shoot her self in the foot for dealing with Ashley and her schemes.

    Ladonna gives Alexis a low key smile, she's smiling because she is happy that her sexy boss and his girlfriend are having yet another problem.



    Ty, sitting by himself wonders where Jenn is. Santino then walks in and comes over toward him, grabbing a seat.

    "Seems like you have been gone forever."

    Santino

    "Sorry boss. Something came up." He has a flashback of sleeping with h is boss's woman.

    Ty

    "Things have changed. I need you to take care of this now."

    Santino

    "You got it boss. What do you need?"

    Ty leans in towards his henchman's ear and whispers a few things in his ear.



    In the front of the church, Karl is outside smoking a cigarette. He sees Jenn running up toward the entrance. He steps in her way, stopping her.

    "In a hurry?"

    Jenn

    "I am actually Karl now if you will excuse me"

    Karl

    "Why are you late? You had to clean your self up I suppose?"

    Jenn

    "What the hell are you talking about?"

    Karl

    "I know what you did."

    Jenn

    "You know nothing you jerk. Just stop trying to cause trouble." She tries to brush aside him but then he whips out a photo he took of Jenn and Santino and their 69. Jenn's face turns red.

    "Bastard"

    Karl

    "Slut." He laughs. "I knew you were sleeping with that Latin boy. Now I have proof." He laughs in her face.



    Back inside, Kiko gets up to go to the men's room.

    Ty looks at Santino and nods his head, giving him the signal it's time. Santino gets up and follows Kiko. Once Kiko is inside the men's room, Santino comes up behind with a gun.

    "Don't say a fu(kin word word pretty boy. Just walk out of this church peacefully. You got that?"

    Kiko

    "Whatever you say man." Santino jams the gun into Kiko's back and escorts him out of the church.



    Ty gets a text on his phone that reads "Done". He smiles as he looks at Dre.

    "Check mate" Ty says aloud.

    The wedding FINALLY begins as the cue music for the bride to walks down the aisle plays. Everyone stands up and looks toward the back of the church. The media all takes snap shots of Sabryn's gorgeous self designed wedding dress. Bryan and Sabryn make eye contact and smile at each other. Sabryn slowly begins to walk down the aisle.





    Westwood Park

    Natalia

    "This is a sick joke right?"

    Diego

    "I kid you not. Your baby is alive. He didn't die."

    Natalia

    "How do you know this?"

    Diego

    "Because I helped planned all of this out."

    Natalia

    "Plan, help, who are you working with ?"

    Diego

    "Ashley. Ashley has your baby. She took him from you and is passing him off as her own." Natalia is stunned.





    Back at the Church.

    The minister is speaking,

    "If there is anyone who feel this young couple should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace." Bryan gets a little nervous. Then suddenly, the back doors opens and Ashley barges in with Bryan Jr the 1st.

    "I do!!!"

    Everyone looks at Ashley in complete disbelief. Bryan nearly pisses his pants looking at Ashley and

    Sabryn is fired up with shock and anger, knowing her wedding day is now ruined. Just before any one else can react, Sharan barges in. Kevin is speech less

    Sharan

    "Help me!"

    Kevin slowly walks over to her.

    Then Daniel gets a call on his cell phone.

    "Oh my God know!" He hangs up the phone

    "Lauren has been shot! I have to go." He leaves the church. As he is about to leave he is stopped as Mona walks in with a machine gun.

    "Aint no one going no mutha fu(king place." Everyone in the church continues to look on in shock. The citizens of Pasadena are about to finally and officially meet Mona.

    In an undisclosed location

    A gunshot is heard after Mona tells Sharan to shoot Abe, and Sharan screams, and Mona grins after a moment.

    Mona

    "That's my baby…"

    Mona looks at her step-father, who has suffered a wound to the shoulder, and is only slightly conscious.

    Abe, trying to look at Sharan,

    "How…how…could you do this to me?"

    Sharan

    "I'm so sorry, Abe…"

    Mona

    "Don't apologize to this bastard! You did the right thing. But don't worry, I'll take it from here, honey. You just relax until I'm done."

    Sharan

    "What are you going to do to him?"

    Mona

    "Don't worry about it."

    Mona walks over to Abe, who is lying on the ground helplessly and bleeding, She presses down on the bullet. Abe groans in pain, and Mona smirks.

    Mona

    "Wow, she really has learned from me…she really did a nice number on you, Abe."

    Abe

    "Shut up…"

    Mona

    "But this is only the beginning. Daddy or not, I'm not gonna go any easier on you. You never showed me mercy, always on top of me, so now its time for you to be the one who gets all the pain. All the hurt. All the sting."

    Abe

    "Then stop yapping and do whatever the hell you are going to do."

    Mona, grabbing Abe by the chin

    "First, we got some things to settle. You told me another man was my father."

    Abe

    "That's true…my brother, DC. You're dirty mother cheated on me with him."

    Mona, slapping Abe

    "Don't talk that way about her. I don't know her, yet, but I can see why she'd cheat on you. Is that why you molested me? Because I wasn't your own."

    Abe

    "No…no…it wasn't like that, I-"

    Mona

    "I don't want to hear your excuses. I got all I need to know, now its time for my special torture to begin, then my Sharan and I can go meet my mother"



    Episode 98: "69"

    Written by ML Cooks, Durand Saint Hilaire and Tara Smith

    Santino drives the limo off an exit on the highway, now entering South Pasadena.

    Jenn

    "So what is this surprise you got for me? Why are we in South Pasadena?"

    Santino, making a few right and left turns,

    "I want to make you feel good. I want to show you how I really feel about you. I want us to continue what we started back in Cleveland." He pulls into a motel parking lot.

    He continues

    "I know you want me just as much as I want you. I've been watching you watching me."

    Jenn, with a seductive smile

    "I want you too Tino." He gets out the limo goes to reserve a room for few hours. Jenn pulls out her mirror and checks to make sure her make up and hair are ok and she does a breathe check by cupping her hand in front of her face and then blowing into it. " A little funky" She says as she pulls out a mint and pops it into her mouth as Santino opens her door

    Santino

    "Are you ready?"

    Jenn

    "Yes." He puts his hand out and she grabs it as she gets out the limo. They walk to their room, Room 69. Tino slides the key into the slot, and then he opens the door and they walk inside.

    Karl parks his Bentley in the motel parking lot. He pulls out a camera from the back seat and walks over toward room 69.

    "A cheap place for cheep people I suppose"

    Inside, Jenn and Santino are kissing passionately. He grabs a hand full of Jenn's rump and massages it as she bites down on his bottom lip, feeling good from Santino's soft touch. He then picks her up and lays her down onto the bed and climbs into the bed with her. They begin to kiss once again as he runs his fingers up and down her leg, ever so slightly, sending chills through her body. She begins to unbutton his shirt and run her hands all over his chest. Santino goes up a little further, up her thigh, still caressing, making Jenn tremble. He then leans down and begins to lick on Jenn's thigh. She falls back onto the bed as he opens up her legs, going further up her thigh getting closer towards Jenn's muff. As he continues to lick and suck on her inner thigh, he takes one hand and pushes her panties to the side so he can play around with Jenn's canal. He slides his finger inside and his finger is drowned is Jenn's natural juices. Jenn lets out a moan. He then pulls his finger out and does the test of freshness. He indiscreetly runs his wet finger past his nose to get a whiff of what he is about to eat. Once his senses tell him Jenn is smelling yummy, he goes in for the kill by ripping her panties off and burying his face into her pu$$y. Jenn not expecting such a rush lets out a heavy sigh. She then wraps her legs around his head as Santino licks on her clitoris and then slides his tongue in and out of her. Jenn's body quivers which turns Santino on and he adds intensity to his tongue action. He slowly unbuttons his pants, now being hard and turned on, listening to Jenn call out his name as he pleasures her. He begins to massage his dick. Jenn, surprising Santino, take over the show by sitting up and pushing Santino onto the bed. she looks at Santino's gorgeous Latin uncut dick and smiles. Completely turned on, she begins to crawl over toward him and she positions her body so her face is at his dick and her pu$$y is in Santino's face and they both knew what time it was. Santino initiates the sixty nine by pushing down on Jenn's waist so she was sitting on his face. Jenn put her mouth on the tip of Tino's penis, enjoying the taste. As Santino makes love to her pleasure box, Jenn slides her mouth all the way down his 8 and a half shaft till his pubic hair was touching her face and she could smell the slight mustiness of his manhood. As their 69 grew in the intensity of passion, Karl was taking pictures of the entire sin of passion through the window, unbeknownst to the sinners.







    Westwood Park, Lauren's House

    Lauren hangs up the phone when she gets a knock on her door. She opens it to see Daniel.

    Lauren

    "I have been worried about you. You didn't come home last night." Ushering him to come in.

    Daniel

    "I'm sorry. I had a lot on my mind… I had some things I had to sort through. And no, none that had anything to do with Ty or drugs."

    Lauren

    "That never crossed my mind. I know you are done with all of that."

    Daniel

    "How are you? The baby?"

    Lauren

    "We are fine."

    Daniel

    "Lauren, I love you with all my heart. The only reason I am here today standing before you were thought of coming back to you while Mona held me captive. Each and every time she did some sick torturous thing to me, I just said to myself, I will make it through this. God has showed me the error of my ways. And I am a changed man. And I want to prove all this to you. Mona has messed with all of our lives and it's a shame Chris died for something he did not do. I do not blame you for moving on with him, I know you were hurt and confused. So I want you to know, I would be honored to be a father to this child and be a family with you. I want to do it for Chris. "

    Lauren wipes her face as the water works are in full swing. She hugs him, unable to look at him any longer, knowing that this baby could be Chris's or Kevin's. She tries to think of what she should do.

    Daniel pulls back from Lauren

    "Are you ok baby?"

    Lauren

    "I'm sorry, I guess this baby has my emotions going. I'm ok."

    Daniel

    "Good because there is something else I want to say."

    Lauren

    "This doesn't sound good"

    Daniel, smiling then slowly bending down on one knee, pulling out a ring box.

    "Lauran Romoan, will you marry me?"

    Lauren

    "Yes…."











    Huntington Memorial Hospital

    Heath quickly opens the door, of Jodie's room. Jodie turns and sees her good friend Heath. The room is very dark, just the street lamp coming through the window.

    JODIE

    "Heath, you came."

    Her voice is dried, you can barely make out her face due to the limited light in the room.

    JODIE

    "Waited all night…"

    HEATH

    "I am sorry - I was out of town. "

    Heath slowly closes the door behind him, and starts walking toward the bed. He has this frighten look on his face, he knew what was coming next.

    HEATH

    "Diego called me... He said you wanted to see me."

    Heath about was to turn on the lights, to reveal something more frightening than he could have imagined; she lost quite a bit of weight, her face was pale, and cover with gray rings. around her eyes

    JODIE

    "Leave the lights off! …Come closer; I want to see you."

    Heath pulls up the chair closer to the bed.

    JODIE

    "What time is it?"

    HEATH

    "Its eleven fifty five pm."

    JODIE

    "Almost midnight…"

    HEATH

    "Almost Christmas…"

    JODIE

    "Its my birthday…"

    HEATH

    "Happy Birthday…}

    JODIE

    "Its not my birthday yet silly…"

    She looks away from Heath, and fixes her gaze out toward the ceiling.

    JODIE

    "What's your favorite holiday?"

    HEATH

    "I don't have one…"

    JODIE

    "You should…"

    She smiles, and closes her eyes...

    JODIE

    "Mine is Christmas…"

    HEATH

    "Its just a few months away - we should start planning something, a big party -"

    JODIE

    "Yeah - I would love that... We can have everyone there - and Mike too... Oh Christmas, the time of new beginnings.

    Jodie looks at Heath, then she places Heath's hand on his face.

    JODIE

    "You are so beautiful, so pure, I have feeling Christmas is coming early for me this year - "

    Heath remains quiet, as Jodie's voice is gets weaker, and more faint. He tries to keep his eye on her, but he can't with out choking up with tears.

    HEATH

    "Keep talking to me... Say something."

    JODIE

    "I know what you are about to do…"

    HEATH

    "And what is that? Come on, keeping telling me. What am I trying to do?"

    JODIE

    "Can you hear it?"

    Tears starts coming from Heath's eyes, as he watches Jodie.

    JODIE

    "Just listen... "

    Jodie closes her eyes, and opens them again.

    JODIE, closing her eyes and then opening them again

    "Have yourself, a Merry Little Christmas" - "Come on sing with me."

    HEATH

    "I have to warm you, I am not a good singer."

    JODIE

    "Look at the time - Its my birthday."

    Heath smiles. He leans on the bed, and looking at Jodie and starts singing." Have yourself a Merry little Christmas".

    Jodie is looking at the ceiling and listening to the song, thought to herself.

    JODIE, looking up at the ceiling once more, listening to Heath sing, as some thoughts fill her head and she speaks on it,

    "Oh Mike; my darling Mike - Where-ever you are; just hear me... I am so sorry, so sorry... I love you so much; trust me; I am trying; fighting to hold on; But I am too weak - I can't fight this anymore; hope you understand…"

    Heath finish the song, and threre's a long silence in the room. For a moment there, he thought she was dead... And finally she speaks without looking at him.

    JODIE

    "That was beautiful."

    Heath looks up to her, there's this drastic change in her.

    JODIE

    "You should go…"

    HEATH

    "No, I want to stay…"

    JODIE

    "Will you watch me, until I fall asleep?"

    HEATH, his voice trembling

    "Yes…Just don't sleep to long." He said with a smile

    JODIE

    "No…"(SHE STARTS COUGHING)

    "I just need a second."

    HEATH

    "Yes, and tomorrow we are going to the garden."

    JODIE

    "Yes... I would love that…"

    HEATH

    "Its a date... You and I - tomorrow…"

    Jodie cant keep her eyes open, she closes them and opens them again. The image of Heath is getting blury more and more.

    Heath can feel her hand falling away from him, but he manages to hold a little bit tighter.

    Heath

    "You can show me how you do it on the catwalk - I heard great things about the show...

    I'll take you to the studio, and dance for you - for you only. You'll be the first judge that auditions this piece…"

    He looks at Her, and Jodie's eyes were closed, He looks away for a second, and looks back, and her eyes were still closed, ... From there, Heath pretended she was still listening, and continues on with the dialogue.

    HEATH

    "Don't you give up now - Not without Mike! You hear me! He is on his way - I know it - you, your one second is up…"

    Jodie slowly moves her fingers, and Heath looks at her; and he burst out of tears, joys, and shock.

    JODIE

    "You are making too much noise…"

    Heath gets up.

    HEATH

    "Forget sleeping... We are going to have a slumber party... Right here, and right now... Its your birthday; remember."

    He moves to the phone, and starts dialing numbers.





    Greater Yonders Cemetery

    Dre walks up to Chris's resting place, torn shirt, barefoot, and drunk like hell. He stumbles a couple of times before reaching the grave.

    DRE

    "Hey... Its funny how things are.."

    He leans against a headstone directly across from Christ

    DRE

    "I sometimes wonder why you are in there, and not out here... It's just another sign that life is not fair; we spend most of our time worrying about things that will never change, its not that they don't change; they just can't change - like most people... I am sure we all tried our best to be different; to change the world and mark our marks-and it just can't happen; not to people like me.

    I-I am so lost; and so confused at times - and I - I don't know where did I go wrong…"

    He kneels down in front of the grave.

    DRE

    "Why is it that nothing ever works out for the better... You are dead, Lauren is pregnant; and I have to kill her - Life is fucked up!!! It aint right man"

    He gets up from the ground, and begins screaming at the headstone.

    DRE

    " - Is it so wrong of me for wanting to make end meet?, That for keeping myself out of the streets at night; Wanting a roof over my head...I have to kill Lauren. What happened to my American dream - what happened to what I want? What about me?!!!"

    He punches the headstone so hard, his fist start bleeding, and he quickly turns around, and he looks up and there's Lauren standing with a flower arrangement. She stands cold looking at him without a word.

    "What does that mean?"

    Ashley

    "Relax girlfriend "She says snapping her fingers.

    Rufus

    "Look, if you going to let me go then do it, or what ever else you have planned for me just get it done and get it over with."

    Ashley

    "Ohh, why the rush? This is such joy for me to watch you squirm faggot. I'll get it on with it. I want answers damn it. Why do you want to be a woman?" Looking at his package, since Ashley did strip him naked when he first arrived.

    "Yea I know it's big, but it doesn't matter. I am who I am and I will be who I want to be ok? I don't have to tell you anything. Why should I? It's not like you actually care."

    Ashley

    "No see I was really trying to be a friend. But I see you don't give a damn. With that attitude I think I won't have no regrets of what I am about to do to you."

    Rufus

    "Yes, thank God. Here it comes. Come on you crazy ass bitch. Bring it on."

    Ashley, laughing

    "So think you are big and bad huh. Tough guy huh? Or Tough girl? Who the hell cares?" She walks over to the door and opens it up and reaches down to grab something, which Rufus sees it's a chain saw

    Rufus

    "Get the fu(k outta here! You have got to be shittin me right?"

    Ashley, laughing uncontrollably this time, she revs up the chain saw, and gets closer towards Rufus, letting the smoke and loud noise taunt Rufus.

    Ashley

    "Who's bad now?"

    Rufus, sweating, finally showing her fear,

    "Have you lost your mind, what are you going to do with that?"

    Ashley

    "You want to be a woman right? Well I am here to help" Ashley revs up the chain saw again and swings towards Rufus, cutting off Rufus's dick. Rufus lets out a deathly scream as blood gushes every where.

    In an undisclosed location,

    Ashley walks in the room with Rufus.

    Rufus, looking at Abe, Sharan and Mona

    "Looks like we are gonna have a party."

    Mona, jumping up

    "Who in the hell is this?"

    Ashley

    "He walked in on me talking to Alexis."

    Mona

    "You dumb Bitch. He is not apart of the plan. Why can't you be careful? Everything that is going to happen is plotted out to a tee and here you go with this woman."

    Sharan

    "That is no woman. Like at his Adam's apple."

    Mona, looking closer

    "You're right?"

    Rufus

    "Give me a break. It's not that big. I'm a woman thank you very much."

    Ashley

    "Oh yea?" Ashley then rips off Rufus's skirt and panties and out flops his manhood. Rufus's face reddeneds with embarrassment. Mona and Sharan are stunned.

    Mona

    "Wrap that sh!t up. I don't want to see that needle." Mona turns her face and begins to vomit on her father's face.

    Rufus , looking at Ashley

    "You ignorant Bitch. I can't believe you just did that." She says with a tear running down his face.

    Mona, wiping her mouth

    "It's ok. I don't blame you for wanting to be a woman. Men are pigs. They are a waste of space."

    Rufus

    "At least some one feels my plight. Does this mean you'll tell this crazy Bitch to let me go.'

    Mona

    "Sorry sister girl, no can do. I can't risk you out there on the streets of Pasadena after what you saw."

    Rufus

    "Please let me go, I won't say nothing."

    Mona

    "Ashley, you know what to do with him."

    Rufus

    Nurse

    "Can I help you?"

    Ria

    "Dr. Whitfield please?"

    The nurse pages Kiko as Ria takes an inhale of the Chinese food she's brought. Kiko walks around the corner and is a little surprised to see Ria.

    Kiko, with a slight smile on his face

    "All this for me?"

    Ria

    "It looks that way cutie."

    Kiko, shaking his head,

    "I guess I can take an early lunch." He then looks at the nurse in charge

    "Forward my calls to Diego." Kiko escorts Ria to his office. She walks in and is impressed to see his decked out office with art pieces and exotic plants.

    Ria looks at his awards and achievements hanging on the walls. She sets the food down on his desk and looks at one.

    "Harvard. I'm impressed."

    Kiko, sitting down unpacking the food

    "Not as impressed as I am with this stunt you pulled."

    Ria, turning around and looking at him

    "Is that what this is? You know I usually don't do these kind of things. ."

    Kiko

    "Why start now?"

    Ria

    "Because I want to. Is that ok with you?"

    Kiko, laughing

    "Yes."

    Ria, beginning to eat

    "You're nothing like your brother."

    Kiko

    "You're right….. My brother,…. I believe I told you that I don't keep it in the family."

    Ria

    "Pump your brakes. I just brought lunch down here to you to get to know you more. I know everyone is this city but you, you're a stranger. I just thought I'd be a good neighbor. Is that a crime?"

    Kiko

    "No not at all. Just ass long as you know nothing will ever become of us."

    Ria

    "You better eat this damn food. DO you know how much I paid for this, no no wait, do you know much I had to put into my tank to get over here?"

    Kiko, laughing

    "I'm glad you did all that for me."

    Ria

    "Uhm hmm." Rolling her eyes.





    The JUMP OFF

    Bryan is setting up the club when the door opens and Dre walks in.

    BRYAN

    "Dre…"

    He closes the door behind him.

    BRYAN

    "Can you lock the door behind you... We are not open yet."

    DRE

    "I kind of miss it here... Haven't been here in a month of Sundays…"

    BRYAN

    "Yeah... last time you were ; when Chris was here? Wanna a drink? Its on the house."

    DRE, grabbing a chair, and Bryan grabs a bottle of liquor...

    "Man, I can't believe Chris is really gone; I mean... there's Daniel walking free. Beat on hi girl, smoked drugs and Chris, a true brave heart"

    BRYAN

    "It's was a sad real lost... He was a good man... A great man -"

    DRE

    "The system is to blame… Believe me I should no."

    BRYAN

    "I think we should do something - in his honor…"

    DRE

    "Like what?"

    BRYAN

    "Go after the state... The police, and everyone involved on that case did a lousy job…"

    DRE

    "You can just save it... It ain't going to work…"They drink.

    DRE

    "I guest congratulations - how's the youngen?"

    BRYAN

    "He is growing up so fast...Hey... you know Sabryn and I are getting married... And I'm still looking for a best man."

    DRE

    "Are you asking me?"

    BRYAN

    "Well, if you think you got what it takes - and you can handle the toughest job in a best friend's life. Chris was my first obvious choice, but you and him were like brothers so I would want you there to represent him in spirit."

    DRE

    "Can I take a rain check?"

    BRYAN

    "Nuah, this is it man... I am doing it once... I want to do it right."

    DRE

    "Well; sho rite then- what do I have to do?"

    BRYAN

    "Show up on time…"

    DRE

    "Fair enough... Do I got to wear a tux?"

    Bryan

    "Yes sir."

    Dre

    "I'll see what I can throw together….Well, got to run... I'll holla at you later.

    BRYAN

    "Should I call you a cab?"

    DRE

    "No need too.." With that he exits the room, and Bryan's cell phone rings, and he answers it.

    BRYAN

    "Hello…Natalia - Don't call me."

    With that he hangs up the phone.





    Miss Jenkins House

    Karim looks inside the very dark, pitch black house after he kicked the door open, and can't see one thing and notices how it smells horrible.

    Karim, to himself

    "What the hell is this pla-…?"

    Karim turns around when he hears an ear-rattling scream, almost like a battle cry, and sees his mother rushing towards him! Sister Pat jumps high into the air, and tackles Karim to the ground, and both of them fall onto the cement of the porch.

    Sister Pat

    "DON'T KNOW ONE, ever EVER, DISRESPECT MISS JENKINS LIKE THAT!!!!! Do you hear me, Karim?! Don't know one talk about, don't know one disrespect Miss Jenkins like that!"

    Karim

    "Mom, what are you doing?!?! Calm the hell down! All I was trying to do was go see what was in that damn house, because it obviously makes you insane! I can't believe you are so obsessed with one woman that no one knows about but you!"

    Sister Pat

    "You think you can just barge in on MISS JENKINS?!!?!?!? This is Miss Jenkins's house, boy, and Miss Jenkins don't take none of that! I don't care who you are, you don't be messing with Miss Jenkins!"

    Karim

    "What has happened to you?! Mom, what's happened to you?! All you ever say is Miss Jenkins…look at yourself! LOOK AT YOURSELF! Tackling your own son and pushing him to the ground just because he tries going into a house that you go into every day! I just want to know who, or what, this Miss Jenkins is!"

    Sister Pat

    "Miss Jenkins is Miss Jenkins, don't ever forget that! Its dangerous to mess with Miss Jenkins, and I don't want you to get hurt like I did!"

    Karim

    "Wait, what?"

    Sister Pat

    "Miss Jenkins is Miss Jenkins! Listen to my words!"

    Karim

    "That's it. I'm sick of this…forget it, mom, forget it! I won't even bother to try to find out about Miss Jenkins. And you've showed me today how crazy you really are."

    Karim shoves Sister Pat off of him, and then stands up angrily, and quickly walks away, while Sister Pat lies on the ground and watches, and then turns and looks around Miss Jenkins's house…









    The Blue Note

    Kiko walks up to the bar after seeing his brother Dre, having a drink. He grabs a seat next to him.

    Kiko

    "What's going on with you?"

    Dre, think of the tragic fate Chris has suffered

    "Chillan man. Got some stuff on my mind."

    Kiko, ordering a club soda

    "What's on your mind?"

    Dre

    "Oh yo ass actually care now?"

    Kiko

    "Don't start that mess. We are brothers. It's a given I care for you. Now what is going on?"

    Dre

    "I am trying to make paper."

    Kiko

    "Paper? You chopping trees down now?"

    Dre

    "naw man. Paper…money."

    Kiko

    "Excuse me if I am not up to date on your slang. I thought you were a barber or something."

    Dre

    "I was till the shop was closed down. Mona's crazy ass kidnapped Sharan."

    Kiko

    "Well get a job some where else."

    Dre

    "It's not that easy. I need fast money man. A job won't cut that."

    Kiko

    "So what are you trying to do? Return to the street life? Sell drugs?"

    Dre

    "Actually yea. I am or I should say I was working for Ty. He offered me a job with cash up front."

    Kiko

    "I heard nothing but bad things about Ty. What the hell are you doing for him?"

    Dre

    "He wanted me to kill some one man. The chic is knocked up. I've done a lot of bad things but that's something I don't do."

    Kiko

    "That's serious. I don't know if we should be having this conversation. I don't want to know nothing like that."

    Dre

    "Oh, my bad Mr.' Goody Two Shoes. I don't have a medical degree from some expensive school."

    Kiko

    "The choice was yours. I didn't ask you to leave home to run the streets."

    Dre

    "I'm not going to run these streets for ever. I just need some quick cash man. I'm behind on my rent, bout to get evicted. I can't keep gas in my car with these damn gas prices. I can't eat. I got to do something."

    Kiko pulls out his check book and begins to write out a check

    "Here, you should have been come to me."

    Dre

    "naw man. You can keep that. I don't need your money. I'm a grown ass man. I can take care of myself."

    Kiko

    "Let your pride go. I rather give you this money then see you dead or working with Tyler."

    Dre

    "I'm good man. I can take care of myself. You wasn't thinking of me all those years after I left home, so don't start now doctor."

    Kiko

    "Why do you have to be like that? We are brothers. Let me help you."

    Dre

    "You can help by taking me to momma. I want to see her."

    Kiko

    "She does not want to see you. Besides, she wouldn't even remember you."

    Dre

    "I bet she knows who you are, The favorite son, the good one in the family."

    Kiko, handing the check

    "Here, just take this to get you by for a while."

    Dre grabs the check and rips it up,

    "I told you I don't want your money! Now leave me the hell alone! I can take care of myself." Dre finishes his beer and then leaves.









    In an undisclosed location

    Mona opens the door and walks in... she places the key in her back pocket.

    MONA

    "Sharan!"

    MONA , after hearing no answer, she calls out to her again,

    "Honey!" Still silent, and she makes her way to the room where she keeps her.

    She opens the door, and just as she does Abe grabs her, and throws her across the room.

    MONA

    "Bitch!"

    On the small chair in the corner is Sharan tied up to the chair, with masking tape on her lips...

    MONA

    "What the fu(k did you do? "

    Abe rushes toward the door, and Mona rushes after him, and pushes him against the wall, slamming his face on the wall... Abe turns around and Abe slaps Mona, across the face, and she falls backward toward where Sharan is sitting.

    MONA, looks back at Sharan, and she smiles.

    "Hey love…" Throwing a kiss to Sharan as she quickly unties one of Sharan's hand.

    ABE

    "I am going to finish what I should have done long time ago."

    Abe is making his way toward Mona, and Sharan starts shaking her head in horror, and just as Mona looks back, she was served with another slap.

    ABE

    "Come on get up! …..GET up!"

    MONA

    "You shouldn't have done that Abe…"

    ABE

    "I am just getting warmed up… You have hurt to many innocent people, Chris, Daniel, Sharan, Your brother Kevin, and Dondre"

    Mona gets up from the floor and wipes off the blood from the corner of her mouth.

    SHARAN

    "Mona... No!!! Don't! - That's not why we are here!"

    MONA, looking back at Sharan, and was working on freeing her legs.

    "No one hurts my baby... and gets away with it." Mona launches a range of insults to Abe, punches coming left and right, and Abe is walking backward, and throwing couple punches of his own.

    ABE

    "Your baby? The woman you kidnapped, and held hostage."

    MONA

    "Well, I learn from the best! Isn't that right daddy? - Daddy knows best; thats what they say - Did you enjoy yourself, [!@#$%^&*] your own daughter night after night?"

    Abe grabs Mona by the throat and pushes her against the wall,

    MONA

    "Made you feel like a real man; didn't it - all powerful - Just like now, come on take your best shot."

    Mona opens both of her arms rested them against the wall.

    MONA

    "Come on Kill me!"

    ABE

    "You are nothing! You just like the whore for your mother!"

    Abe squeezes more and Mona hits him in his groin, and he stumbles backward, and she reaches for her gun in her back pocket

    SHARAN

    "Mona no!"

    Mona looks back at her, and Abe kicks Mona in her knees and the gun goes flying across the room in the corner... Mona falls on the floor, and Abe gets on top of her.

    ABE

    That's what you wanted; right?

    He rips opens her blouse, and Mona is fighting him.

    MONA

    "Get of me you scum!"

    Abe over powers her, and he rips opens her pants. Her hands and nails goes to his face, and scratches him.

    SHARAN

    "Get off her!"

    ABE

    "Shut up!"

    SHARAN grabs the chair.

    "Abe get off of her now!'

    Abe turns to Sharan, and she serves him across the face with the chair, and Abe falls out of consciousness on the ground.

    Mona and Sharan are looking at each other, Mona quickly gets up from the ground, and goes straight to Sharan, and she holds Sharan on the face.

    MONA

    "You did good honey…"

    SHARAN

    "Is he dead?"

    MONA, looking back at him, and she fixes his clothes, and kneels down and checks for a pulse.

    "No... The bastard will live, but no for long."

    She drags him across the room to small metal pole in the corner of the room , and Sharan is watching nervously.

    MONA

    "Help me with this will you?"

    SHARAN

    "What are you doing?"

    MONA

    "Hand me my bag…"

    Sharan remains standing.

    MONA

    "Now!!!"

    She startled Sharan with abrupt command.

    MONA

    "I am sorry... Please."

    Mona watches as Sharan grabs the bag, and Sharan looks back at Mona, and looks at the gun on the ground.

    MONA

    "Hurry up…"

    Sharan heads toward Mona with the bag, and Mona removes hand cuffs from the bag, and hand cuffs Abe at the pole in a sitting position with both hands cuffed to the pole.

    Without looking at Sharan, she speaks.

    MONA

    "Go ahead pick it up…"

    SHARAN

    "What?"

    MONA

    "The gun... I know you want too."

    SHARAN

    "What make you so sure?

    MONA

    "So the thought, never crossed your mind?"

    SHARANS, lies.

    "No…"



    MONA, gets up, and she makes her way toward the gun, and picks it up, and she walks back toward Sharan.

    "Have you killed someone?"

    SHARAN

    "Excuse me?"

    MONA

    "Its a simple question…"

    SHARAN

    "There's nothing simple about that - and no."

    MONA

    "But you would if you had too…"

    SHARAN

    "I don't like where this is going - and I am not a murderer."

    MONA

    "I think everyone is capable of murder.

    MONA, Mona places her hand on Sharan's shoulder.

    "Earlier... You wanted to kill him, I saw it on your eyes -"

    She hangs her the gun.

    MONA

    "Go ahead... shoot him! If you love me, you would kill my father. Prove to me you love me"

    Sharan looks at Mona, and looks back at the gun, and Abe.

    MONA

    "Come on... Do it!"

    Sharan slowly takes the gun from Sharan. Abe slowly opens his eyes.

    MONA

    "That's it... nice and slow. "

    Mona moves back, and pulls out something to smoke from her purse, and she lights up drug stick, and laughs out loud, and Sharan looks back at her.

    SHARAN, tears in her eyes

    "Please don't make me do this…"

    MONA

    "Kill him! If you say you love me then prove it to me by shooting him!"

    She yells, and Sharan brings her attention to Abe, and slowly Abe is opening his eyes. His eyes try to focus on the image in front him, little by little his focus is getting clearer, and there's Sharan standing in front of him with the gun.

    ABE

    "Sharan! Don't listen to her."

    MONA

    "Shut up Abe!"

    Mona places her hands on Sharan's shoulder.

    MONA

    "He's a monster... he doesn't deserve to live for all the things he did - to me, his own daughter... Think about love!"

    ABE

    "Don't!!! - She is setting you up!"

    MONA kicks Abe in the face with the bottom of her heel

    "Don't poison's my loves head -"

    SHARAN

    "Shut up!!!! Both of you!"

    MONA

    "That's my love! Now Kill him!"

    ABE

    "Wait wait wait! - Kelis;"

    MONA

    "Sorry dad... I can't save you now."

    She turns and starts walking away.

    ABE

    "Sharan wait! Mona - I am not your father."

    Mona stops.

    ABE

    "Your mother... She - she had an affair... With my brother; and you were the result that affair."

    MONA

    "You would say anything wouldn't you? Do it!"

    Sharan's hand starts sweating, and she can't hold back, she sees her hand pulling the trigger, and suddenly her head is full with images; visions of how Mona introducing her to Mona Island , and all the pains Abe caused her Mona.

    Tears starts pouring from Sharan's eyes, and everything starts moving in slow motion, Mona takes another puff from her smoke, and Abe is trying to say something, but all you see his mouth moving, and couldn't make out the words, Sharan looks back at Mona, and she wanted to aim the gun at Mona's head, and blow her head away, but she stops herself...

    She returns her attention return to Abe's direction, and Mona claps her hand, and the Gun goes off...

    Alexis's Penthouse

    Rufus walks out from the kitchen area with a bowl of popcorn in his hand, wearing a long white robe and a green facial mask on her face.

    Just as he turns on the TV, the door bell rings.

    Rufus

    "This better be good… they got nerve interrupting my favorite show, 'Chic's with Dicks.'"

    He goes to the door and opens it to see Lisa and Alexis.

    Alexis

    "Whoa, didn't know it was Mardi Gras?"

    Alexis steps into the suite. Lisa follows her.

    Rufus

    "What do you want?"

    Lisa

    "My client has thought about your offer..."

    Rufus

    "And?"

    Alexis

    "And I'll..."

    Lisa quickly gets between Alexis and Rufus.

    Lisa

    "She agrees to work with you... under one condition."

    Rufus

    "OK... I'm listening."

    Lisa

    "Co-CEO."

    Rufus

    "Wow! This is great! I promise you, you will not be disappointed."

    Alexis

    "Oh, trust me, I will be watching your every move."

    Rufus

    "And I always will be one step ahead of you."

    Lisa

    "Sounds like we've reached an agreement. Ladies, would you do me a favor? Try not to kill each other. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to run."

    Rufus

    "Don't worry, Lisa. Alexis will be just fine."

    Rufus ushers Lisa out of the suite. After closing the door, she turns to Alexis.

    Rufus

    "Now that that's settled, you and I need to get a couple of things straightened out. If this partnership is going to work at all, we are going to have to trust one another."

    Alexis

    "Go on, I'm listening."

    Rufus

    "First and foremost, Natalia must be eliminated."

    Alexis

    "I couldn't agree more."

    Rufus

    "Where you failed, I will succeed."

    Alexis

    "What's that suppose to mean? I didn't try to kill to her."

    Rufus

    "Really?"

    Alexis

    "Really, I didn't."

    Rufus

    "All I'm saying is we have to be a step ahead of our enemies. That means that our top priority is eliminating Sabryn and Natalia."

    Alexis smiles as she thinks about a world without Sabryn and Natalia.



    Alexis (thinking to herself)

    "I might not have to do anything after all. I can sit back and watch the tranny bury herself...and get rid of my enemies in the process. This partnership thing may not be such a bad idea after all."

    She extends her hand out to Rufus.

    Alexis

    Partner?

    Rufus

    Partner!

    They shake hands.


    Episode: 96, Chics with Dicks!

    Written by: ML Cooks, Durand Saint Hilaire, Tara Smith, with Mio Slater





    In an undisclosed location, Abe walks into the room where Sharan, Ashley and Bryan Jr. the 1st are. Sharan and Abe are stunned to see one another. Abe is also surprised to see Ashley.

    Abe

    "Ashley."

    Ashley

    "In the flesh. Don't even think you are going to come in here with moral authority. I have no respect for you."

    Abe

    "I see everyone here knows."

    Mona

    "Before long, the whole city will know."

    Abe

    "Sharan, it's good to see you."

    Mona bashes her father in the head with her gun. Abe falls to the ground. Sharan is shocked and BJ the 1st starts crying.

    Ashley

    "You made my baby cry. Next time you decide to attack someone, give me a little warning. I don't want my child subjected to this."

    Mona

    "Here's a tip . . . don't piss me off. That's not even your child."

    Ashley

    "Keep your damned mouth shut! I don't want everyone knowing that."

    Mona (points her gun at Ashley)

    "I'll say whatever I damned well please... 'cause I'm the one running the show here."

    Sharan

    "Kelis, please! Calm down. It's OK."

    She walks up to Mona and hugs her.

    Sharan

    "I think you need to smoke your drugs. Jesus, I can't believe I just said that."

    Sharan's voice soothes and calms down Mona. She pulls the gun away from Ashley. Ashley tries to calm the frantic tears of the baby as she holds him her arms. She decides to leave.

    Mona sits down and reaches into her afro. She pulls out a sack of weed and a small pipe. She fixes up her Mary to smoke it.

    Sharan stands over Abe and wonders if he's OK. She really wants to ask him if Mona's allegations of sexual abuse are true. Sharan, then walks up behind Mona. Mona jumps up.

    Mona

    "What are you doing?"

    Sharan

    "Relax. I'm going to massage your shoulders."

    Mona

    "I don't like anyone walking up behind me. My eyes need to be on you at all times. If I can't see you, I get crazy."

    Sharan

    "Baby, Kelis...relax. All I want is to is make you feel good."

    She says escorting Mona to sit down which she does. Sharan begins rubbing and massaging on Mona's shoulders. The more puffs of her pipe she takes, the more Mona feels at ease. She's completely high. The woman she has wanted for over a year is finally giving in to her.

    Sharan knows Mona is beginning to trust her. She leans down and gently blows on Mona's neck. Sharan, maybe from suffering a contact, begins to kiss Mona's neck. Mona moans in ecstasy.





    The Williams House

    Sister Pat is still on the floor. Her face is covered in tears after her fights with Abe and Kevin over her affair with DC. She prays to the Lord and Miss Jenkins. She feels a tap on her shoulder and looks up to see her other son, Karim.

    Karim (with tears in his eyes)

    "Mom, what in the hell happened? DC told me Pops walked in on you and him…"

    Sister Pat

    "Son, forgive me. Don't be like your brother and Abe."

    Karim

    "I thought you were finished with that bastard! Now he's going around gloating about you breaking Pop's heart! I expected better from you."

    Sister Pat

    "I have sinned, Karim, I have sinned! I keep praying to the Lord, and to Miss Jenkins, for forgiveness!"

    Karim

    "Maybe you don't deserve forgiveness this time."

    Sister Pat

    "Son, not you too."

    Karim

    "Do you really think I'm just going to say something like 'My mom slept with my uncle again, oh well!'?!" Hell no! Don't you understand how much this hurts me?! My whole life, I've looked up to you. I used to think, my mother, she's one of those rare people who always does the right thing. She's not the typical parent or wife. She's something special. But believe me, I'll never think of you that way ever again!"

    Sister Pat

    "Karim, my baby, I am so full of shame and remorse for my horrible sin. You just don't know. But think about Miss Jenkins...what she would want you to say. You know she'd want you to forgive me."

    Karim (getting visibly angrier)

    "Who in the hell is Miss Jenkins?! Your whole life revolves around Miss Jenkins! Miss Jenkins this, Miss Jenkins that, you have to go visit Miss Jenkins…"

    Sister Pat

    "Don't no one talk like that about Miss Jenkins! Karim, you do not want to upset her!"

    Karim

    I'm so beyond tired of this insanity. It's over. I'm going to that damned house to find out who this woman is. And Mom, I'm sorry, but I don't care what you have to say about it."

    Sister Pat (standing up)

    Boy, don't! If you just barge into her house, you'll suffer her wrath. Miss Jenkins don't play that mess!

    Karim ignores Sister Pat. He turns around, stomps out of the house and heads across the street. Sister Pat tries to run after him.

    Karim approaches the dark house and kicks the door open!







    Back downtown

    TC Hotel

    Alexis and Rufus's hand shake is interrupted by a knock at the door. Alexis goes to get it but Rufus stops her.

    Rufus

    "No, no sweetie. You've been locked up for a long time. No one's here for you."

    Rufus answers the door. She sees a woman with her face covered by a red veil with a baby in a carriage. Alexis realizes it's Ashley.

    Rufus

    "Can I help you?"

    Ashley

    "Faggot."

    Ashley walks off.

    Rufus (hollering in the hallway)

    "What else is new, you stupid bitch!"

    Rufus slams the door. Alexis chuckles.

    Rufus

    "It's not funny. I get tired of being called names all the time."

    Alexis

    "Save it for a cup of coffee, girlfriend."

    Alexis rushes out of the suite.

    Rufus

    "Something is going on here."

    Rufus grabs his purse and decides to follow Alexis.





    T.C. Hotel

    Ty's office

    Dre and Ty are holding each other at gun point.

    Dre

    "I'm packing heat too. Put the weapon down homie or there will be some real problems in here."

    Ty

    "Do you know who you're talking too? You are out numbered 100 to 1."

    Dre (walks closer to Ty)

    "I don't give a damn about all that."

    Ty

    "You've lost your mind."

    Dre

    "You ain't nothing man. You ain't a gansta. You got nothing on me. Now either get down or lie down."

    Dre puts the tip of his gun against Ty's temple. Ty has no choice but to concede to defeat.

    Dre

    "Drop it before you get dropped."

    Ty drops his gun.

    Dre (presses the gun into Ty's temple)

    "Now sit down and don't mutha fu(king move."

    Ty remains silent. He thinks he can he turn things around. But he wonders if he is getting weak in the game.

    Dre

    "Never show another man your weakness. Now, I can exploit it. You're not so bad after all. You should have shot me when you had the chance."

    Ty

    "Quit talking and make your move. Only bitches talk as much as you do."

    Dre

    "Did you also know that bitches get killed for running off at the mouth? I'm not having this conversation again. You want Lauren dead, kill her your own damned self. And next time you point a gun at me, use it."

    Dre gets up and walks out of Ty's office. Ty sits in his office chair, his head still spinning from what just happened. He can't believe that he allowed Dre to gain an upper hand.

    Ty (a devious smile appears on his face)

    "For now Dre, for now. You've crossed the line. I going to teach you a lesson you will never forget."





    Lavender Hill

    Santino pulls up to the mansion in the limo. Jenn is waiting in front. She gets in the limo and Santino drives off. He rolls down the window to the back seat and looks into Jenn's eyes.

    Santino

    "You look beautiful today."

    Jenn (smiling back to him)

    "Thank you."

    Santino (turning his attention back to the road)

    "Where we off to?"

    Jenn

    "The hospital."

    Santino

    "Is everything ok? Your new teeth didn't fall out, did they?"

    Jenn

    "Ha, ha, very funny a$$hole."

    Santino

    "I love when you get mad. It's a turn on."

    Jenn flips him off.

    Jenn

    "I'm going to see Jodie."

    Santino

    "I don't think that's a good idea."

    Jenn

    "I didn't ask for your opinion or your permission."

    Santino

    "Seriously, Jenn, why are you going to see Jodie? It's not going to do any one any good. I hear she is on her death bed. Leave the woman alone."

    Jenn

    "I won't stop until Jodie is out of the picture."

    Santino

    "You really hate her huh?"

    Jenn

    "Hate doesn't come close to describing how I feel."

    Santino

    "What will Ty say about this?"

    Jenn

    "At this time I don't care about Tyler."

    Santino

    "I care about you."

    Jenn smiles, enjoying the attention she is getting from Santino. Ty won't even acknowledge her,

    Jenn

    "You're playing a dangerous game coming on to me. Ty is capable of anything. I am sure he would not go for you double crossing him."

    Santino

    "What Ty doesn't know won't hurt him."

    Jenn

    "This isn't the way to the hospital. Where are we going?"

    Santino

    "I've got a surprise for you."

    He speeds up on the highway. They are unaware that Karl is following them.





    Back at TC Hotel,

    Ashley and Alexis enter a conference room. Ashley is holding BJ the 1st.

    Ashley

    "Why is that sick man in your hotel room?"

    Alexis

    "Nice to see you too. Yeah, I got released from prison, thanks for caring."

    Ashley

    "Look, I'm sorry. A lot has been going on."

    Alexis

    "I am getting sick of all this. This can't go on, Ashley. Give it up. It's not worth it. Think of this child. This child, my own nephew, and I haven't had to chance to say hi or anything. Bryan doesn't love you. You have to realize that."

    Ashley

    "Oh, he loves me. Sabryn may be in the way right now, but soon, she'll be out of the picture."

    Alexis

    "What are you going to do?"

    Ashley

    "Go to the wedding and you'll find out. It will all happen there. The world will find out I am not dead after all."

    Alexis

    "I'm done with this Ashley. I can't stand by you anymore. I have my own problems right now. First, I've got Rufus trying to take my company. Then Karim...he's back in my life. I love him and I'm not going to mess up what we have for anything."

    Ashley

    "At least you know how I feel. I'll do anything to be with Bryan."

    Alexis

    "You're wrong. I'd like to think that I'm more sensible...a little saner than you."

    Just then, the door opens. Rufus stands in the door way. Rufus sees Ashley and is shocked. Ashley pulls out her gun and takes aim.

    Ashley

    "Step in here, you beast in a dress."

    Rufus

    "Look honey...I don't know anything. I see nothing, OK? Alexis, you can have it all back...Divine Design, the suite. Just let me go, please."

    Ashley

    "Not on your sweet ass life."

    Bryan Jr. begins to cry.

    Ashley

    "See what you did, fruit loop? You made my son cry. Alexis, meet your nephew. Now is a good time for the two of your to get acquainted. Why don't you take him upstairs and see if you can get him settled down? This tranny and I are going for a ride."

    Rufus

    "No.. no. Please."

    Alexis

    "I said that I was done with this. But I must admit, if good ole' Rufus disappears, that makes my life a whole lot easier. Carry on sis! I'll keep a look out for you."

    She pushes the stroller past Rufus and smirks as she walks out. Ashley walks up to Rufus and snatches off her wig. Then she rips open Rufus's blouse and bra. The bra and silicon breasts fall to the floor.

    Rufus

    "Do you know how many dicks I had to suck to get those, you stupid bitch?!"

    Ashley (jamming the gun into Rufus' back)

    "It's time to be the man you are supposed to be. Now get to walking."

    Alexis makes sure the coast is clear as her crazy sister kidnaps Rufus.

    Downtown Pasadena

    S.G. Building

    Sabryn sits behind her desk and enjoys her rose. The door opens. Lucien, the founder and owner of Red Haute, a successful online magazine, enters the room.

    Lucien

    “Wow!”

    Sabryn gets up from her chair.

    Sabryn

    “Lucien, you’re right on time.”

    She extends her hand to shake his as she walks around the desk.

    Lucien

    “Look at you. You look great. And my dear, may I ask...who are all these flowers from?”

    Sabryn

    “The men in my life. Shall we start?”

    Lucien

    “Absolutely.”

    Sabryn and Lucien sit down on the sofa. He pulls out his note pad and pen.

    Lucien

    “First and foremost, how's your little one?”

    Sabryn

    “He’s just adorable. Words can’t describe...”

    Sabryn's eyes begin watering with tears of joy.

    Sabryn

    “I can’t think of a time in my life when I’ve been happier. He is a miracle...my miracle.”

    Meanwhile back on Lavender Hill

    Sabryn‘s mansion

    Ashley picks up a pillow from the sofa and stands over the baby.

    Ashley

    “You know, I really don't want to do this. If there was any other way, trust me, it’s...it’s nothing against you. It’s just that your bitch of a mother and you...you’re obstacles... I mean, I know, you’re just a baby...there’s no way you know what I’m talking about, but let me try to explain anyway...obstacles, well, they must be eliminated, you know, dealt with. It’s too bad that you happen to be one of them.

    She touches the baby's face. Her cold finger gives him a chill. He moves and rolls on his back. Slowly he opens his gorgeous brown eyes.

    Ashley

    “I want to show you something.”

    Ashley pulls out a picture of Bryan Jr., the 1st.

    Ashley

    “See this little boy. He’s your brother. You want your brother to be happy, don’t you?”

    The baby smiles.

    Ashley

    “Yes, I know you do. Forgive me...”

    She pushes the pillow as hard as she can on the baby's face. Suddenly, the door knobs turns. She stops and looks back at the direction of the door.

    Ashley

    “Daddy's coming...”

    Ashley throws the pillow on the sofa. The picture of her baby falls into the crib as she races out of the window.

    Bryan walks into the room.

    Bryan looks at the baby picture. He doesn’t realize that he is looking at his other son.

    Bryan

    “What the hell?”

    Back at the office, Lucien wraps up the interview with Sabryn.

    Lucien

    “So what do you and Bryan talk about in bed?”

    Sabryn (smiling)

    “Lucien... you know I can’t tell you.”

    Lucien

    “One last word...the wedding dress...can I see it?”

    Sabryn

    “That my dear, you’ll have to wait and see tomorrow. But I will tell you one thing...I’ve never been prouder of a collection than I am of this new line. I know this will put some new life and excitement into the fashion world and I can't wait for its unveiling!”

    Sabryn stands up.

    Sabryn

    Now, off the record, do you have time for lunch...to catch up?

    Lucien

    “Yes, it would be my pleasure.”

    Lucien gets up and folds his note book. Together they head toward the door when Gilbert walks in.

    Gilbert

    “Hi...”

    Sabryn stops cold and looks Gilbert directly in the eyes. There’s tension and Lucien notices the odd stares between them. He senses there's something going on, something wrong.

    Lucien

    “My, my... this is turning out better than I thought!”



    Episode 95: Low Budget Affair

    Written by ML Cooks, Durand Saint Hialire and Tara Smith with Miou Slater



    The Williams House

    Sister Pat is still sitting on the floor crying while she holds the Bible in her hands. DC is gone.

    Sister Pat

    “Miss Jenkins, Miss Jenkins, please speak to me. I’ve got no one else to turn to!”

    Kevin bursts in, steaming with anger. Sister Pat looks at him.

    Kevin

    “I can’t believe you did this!”

    Sister Pat

    “What are you talking about?! I don’t have time for you right now!”

    Kevin

    “Make time. Pops walked in on you and DC. So you did sleep with him again, even after how you tried to make me and Karim think you were all sorry for it.”

    Sister Pat

    “Lord have Mercy, I know I have sinned. I keep praying to the Lord and Miss Jenkins for forgiveness.”

    Kevin

    “I don’t want to hear about Miss Jenkins! Now, because of you, Pops hates me and Karim! He wouldn’t even listen to what I had to say. It’s all your fault!”

    Sister Pat

    “Oh Lord, what have I done…”

    Kevin

    “You don’t need to wait for the Lord to tell you. Let me tell you what you’ve done! You took yet another thing away from me. I didn’t tell him to protect you... and you went off and did this. I don’t know where Sharan is... and now I don’t have a father. He was one of the last people I still had. And now, he’s now gone! All because of you screwing up. You are such a hypocrite. You’re always judging everyone in town, preaching for them to repent! What right do you have? You’re no better than anyone else!”

    Sister Pat

    “Boy, you can’t speak to me like this!”

    Kevin

    “I’ll speak to you whatever way I damned well please, Sister Pat!”

    Sister Pat

    “So, now I’m not your mother?”

    Kevin

    “No, you’re not. My real mother...she’s not a complete psycho like the pathetic excuse of a woman that stands in front of me.”

    Sister Pat

    “How dare you! Yes, I did sin, I sinned a lot. But don’t think you can speak to me like this in front of the eyes of God and of Miss Jenkins!”

    Kevin

    “Miss Jenkins?! Stop it, stop it right now with your Miss Jenkins rambling crap! You sound like a psycho every time you say her name, do know that? Do you realize how nuts you sound? You are the craziest of the crazy in this town. People have been calling you a crazy bat for a long time. And you know what? Now, I agree with them.”

    Sister Pat grabs her Bible.

    Sister Pat

    “That’s it. You won’t talk to your mother like that.”

    Kevin

    “You’re absolutely right about that. I won’t because this is the last time I’m ever going to set eyes on you. Goodbye, Sister Patterson.”

    Kevin, still angry, turns his back to her and leaves. Sister Pat cries in horror as she watches him leave. She has lost her husband and her son.



    Downtown Pasadena,

    Ivory Inc

    Karim is in his chemistry lab. He is mixing chemicals for his new low-budget cologne line for low-end retailers. He takes a sniff of the test tube.

    Karim

    “That smells damn good, if I do say so myself. Now to think of the right name for it.”

    Ladonna, his secretary, walks in.

    Ladonna

    “Sorry to bother you, but..”

    He interrupts her.

    Karim

    “Come over here. Smell this.”

    Ladonna walks over to him and takes a sniff of the test tube

    Ladonna

    “Smells good, but I’ve got to be honest, it smells cheap.”

    Karim

    “Indeed it does. My uncle said he wanted a fragrance named after him and here it is, DC.”

    Ladonna laughs.

    Ladonna

    “This just arrived for you.”

    She hands him a card.

    Karim

    “Thank you. I’m just about done here. You can take the rest of the day off if you want.”

    Ladonna

    “Thank you, Mr. Williams.”

    She leaves. Karim opens the card and reads it.

    “I had a wonderful time last night, chocolate daddy. Wanting you, Alexis”

    Karim smiles as he flashes back to the passion he served up to Alexis. His sexual thoughts are interrupted when DC walks into the lab.

    Karim

    “It’s a good thing you’re here. I made a fragrance, just for you.”

    DC

    “That’s nice nephew, but I have something to say.”

    Karim

    “I’m not going to like this, am I? OK, I’m listening.”

    DC

    “Your old man knows about your mother and me.”

    Karim

    “What do you mean? How would he know?”

    DC

    “He walked in on us when we were...”

    Karim

    “You nasty bastard.”

    Karim swings at DC. DC instinctively ducks. He’s beginning to get good at predicting when one of his relatives is about to hit him.

    DC

    “Didn’t know an old man could move so fast? I’m too quick for you. Ya’ll need to stop hitting on an old man.”

    Karim

    “Quit trying to destroy my family! Why don’t you leave us alone? Just leave Pasadena and never come back. You have done nothing but become a nuisance to everyone since the day you stepped foot into this damned city. You are not welcome here.”

    Karim storms out of his lab. Don is left standing alone. He reflects on what just happened.



    In an undisclosed location.

    Ashley walks into the room where Mona, Sharan and Bryan Jr., the 1st are.

    Mona

    “It’s about damn time you got back here. What happened?”

    Ashley

    “I saw the man that I love and his bastard baby with Sabryn. That child, he’s so ugly. I almost killed it until my man walked in.”

    Sharan

    “You were going to kill an innocent baby?”

    Ashley

    “No one’s talking to you?”

    Mona

    “Don’t speak to her like that.”

    Ashley

    “You’re a fool”

    Mona

    “Say what?”

    Ashley

    “I see right through Sharan’s phony concern for you. She’s lying through her teeth so she can plan her escape. Isn’t that what you’re doing Sharan? You don’t really love Mona. Admit it.”

    Sharan face gets hot. She knows Ashley is telling the truth.

    Sharan

    “Why don’t you ask Kelis if she thinks I love her.”

    Mona

    “That’s enough. I have too much to do. Sharan loves me.”

    Ashley

    “Untie her then. If you really think Sharan loves you, then you should be able to trust her. Go ahead, untie her.”

    Ashley’s suggestion stuns Sharan. Mona slowly moves to untie Sharan from the chair. She wants to prove that she does trust her.

    Ashley, looking at Sharan

    “I’ve got my eye on you. Don’t try any funny business.”

    Mona

    “Listen to her baby. I have to run a few errands.’

    Sharan

    “Wait! What about confronting your father and meeting your mother? That’s what we talked about on the island. I told you that I would stand by you.”

    Ashley

    “Give it up.”

    Mona

    “I need to take care of a few things first.”

    Sharan

    “Let me come with you.”

    Mona

    “I’ll be back”

    Mona leaves the room.

    Ashley (looking at Sharan)

    “Drop the act. It’s just me and you here now. You’re playing games with Mona and I’ll prove it.”



    Back at S.G.

    Sabryn

    “Lucien, thanks for coming. I will see you in the morning, at my wedding.”

    Lucien hugs Sabryn

    Lucien

    “Indeed, you will.”

    He leaves.

    Sabryn (speaking to Gilbert)

    “I am glad you came by. We need to talk.”

    She ushers him into her office.

    Gilbert

    “Congratulations on your new baby.”

    Sabryn

    “Thank you. About what you said before my water broke...”

    Gilbert

    “Yeah, about that...listen, I’m sorry. Just forget it. I don’t know what I was thinking. I shouldn’t have said anything.”

    Sabryn

    “You’re sure full of surprises. One minute you confess that you love me. Now you’re saying it was a mistake.”

    Gilbert

    “Again, I apologize. That’s the reason I’m here right now. I’m willing to hand in my resignation.”

    Sabryn

    “No, you can’t do that. You are my good friend, Gilly. You made a mistake, an error in judgment. I’m willing to move on if you are.”

    Gilbert (smiling)

    “I am.”

    Sabryn

    “Good. I have a favor to ask of you.”

    Gilbert

    “Shoot.”

    Sabryn

    “Well, since Sharan is still missing in action, will you be my bridesmaid? I can’t do this with out you.”

    Gilbert

    “This is a joke, right?”



    The Jump Off

    Abe drinks his 5th Heineken as he thinks of the day’s events.

    The image of his brother getting it on with his wife...in his own house. Learning that not only had they been having an affair for years but that Kelis, the daughter he thought of as his own, was actually his brother’s...it all started to make sense to him. Pat pushed him away when she became pregnant with Kelis because she felt guilty. Abe remembered every detail...no sex, no passion, no romance when Pat found out about her last pregnancy. Abe realizes he blamed Kelis for nothing. Everything he did was for nothing.

    “Looks like you lost your puppy.”

    When he hears that familiar voice, chills go up Abe’s spine and his hair stands up on end. He turns to his right and sees his daughter. This time, no black veil covers her identity.

    Mona

    “Surprise, I’m home.”

    Abe remembers how dangerous his daughter can be.

    Abe (chugs the last of his beer)

    “I am done with this. I’m ready.”

    Mona

    “Ready for the big payback?”

    Abe

    “There’s no escaping it. I’ve lost everything. I am ready to reap what I have sown.”

    Mona

    “You’re making this too easy. How boring! I won’t be able to try out my new weapon on you. But that’s OK, I’ll save them for later, pops.”

    She pulls out a gun and jams it into his side.

    Mona

    “Move quietly.”

    Abe gets up off the bar stool. He’s complicit in his own kidnapping. The time has come for Mona’s big payback.


  14. aMLCproduction
    On the West Coast of the United States, Ashley walks up to the beaches of California. She sees Mona walking out of the water like swamp thing used to do back in the 80’s.

    Ashley

    “It’s about time you decided to come back to Pasadena. Things have to be done. We are losing time. Abe,…. Sabryn.”

    Mona

    “I had to get Sharan to fall in love with me. You know Miss Lady comes first.”

    Ashley

    “Well I hope mission was accomplished”

    Mona

    “Indeed. But no need to worry, I got Sharan to love me and it’s now time for the final phase of my plans, the last chapter, the last hurrah.”

    Ashley

    “Sound like you’re going to die?”

    Mona

    “I can’t guarantee that, but people will die in Pasadena. That’s for sure. It’ time for the big payback. “

    Ashley

    “That’s what I like to hear? Where do we start first?”

    Mona

    “First I need updates on everyone. And we got to find a place to lay low. Daniel and Ty are after me. And I need to plant a Mary Garden. “

    Ashley

    “A who?”

    Mona, heading towards Ashley’s car

    “Nothing, just drive.”

    Ashley

    “Wait a minute, where is Sharan?”

    Westwood Park, Kevin’ House

    Abe pounds on his sons door.

    Kevin, opening his door

    “Pops, what’s going on?”

    Abe enters the house,

    “I know about your mother and Don.”

    Kevin

    “Oh no, how did you find out?”

    Abe

    “I walked in on them.”

    Kevin

    “Pops I am so sorry.”

    Abe

    “Are you really? You know what hurt the most? The fact that you and your brother knew about this and did not come and tell me’

    Kevin

    “I was torn. Either I hurt my mom and tell you she’s cheating or hurt you and not say anything. I was stuck between a rock and hard place. I was put in the middle here”

    Abe

    “It’s not that hard. You should have come to me when you first found out. I can’t believe my whole family ha betrayed me like this. Everything I knew is no more. Did you even know the sister you lost at birth was my brother’s child?”

    Kevin

    “That I didn’t know. Pops I am sorry. I didn’t mean to keep this from you. This has been eating me up on the inside since I first found out…… I didn’t do this. I didn’t cheat on you, moms did. What would you have done if you were in my shoes?”

    Abe, ignoring his son’s question

    “How long have you known about this?”

    Kevin

    “For a few weeks.”

    Abe

    “A few weeks! I can’t believe this. My family….. What is happening? I can’t believe this is happening. My wife and my brother. All these years.” Abe shakes his head as a tear forms in his eye.

    Kevin

    “Pops I am really sorry you have to deal with this.”

    Abe

    “I don’t want to hear anything you have to say. You should have come and told me when you first found out. I don’t know my own family anymore.” Abe begins to walk out the house.

    Kevin

    “Pops, man I am sorry. Listen to me.” Abe does not want to hear it and leaves his son’s house with out saying another word.

    Kevin

    “Damn Pat and DC.” He says grabbing his keys, getting ready to head to his mom’s house.



    Lavender Hill

    Karim, who was taking a swim in his indoor pool, gets out upon hearing his door bell ring. Wearing a seedo, he opens the door to see Alexis. Alexis eyeballs his nicely cut body and can‘t help but to notice his bulging family jewels.

    Alexis

    “Just want a woman fresh out of jail wants to see.”

    Karim, smiling

    “How’d you know where I moved to?”

    Alexis

    “It was not that hard to find you. You are a public figure after all. And I love you Karim. May I come in?”

    Karim, hesitantly lets her in. As she walks in she looks around and admires the beauty of his new mansion.

    Alexis

    “I see Ivory must be really doing well. With this lovely mansion, you would never be able to tell the U.S. economy was in shambles right now.”

    Karim

    “I had some money put aside. I used what I saved for my wedding with Ria and the honey moon that was to follow. But we all know how that turned out.”

    Alexis

    “She cheated on you with Dondre.”

    Karim

    “She lied to me just like you lied to me.”

    Alexis

    “Karim, I did not lie to you. In time you will come to see that.”

    Karim

    “Make that time now. Tell me why you didn’t fess up that you killed your own sister? You let Sabryn sit in jail needlessly for that crime.”

    Alexis

    “I didn’t know what I hit that night. I was in a huge u-haul, it was dark and stormy and I thought it was a curb or something. The courts believe me, otherwise I would not be here right now talking to you.”

    Karim

    “I’ve been deceived by the women I know and loved to many times. Ria, you, my own mother.”

    Alexis

    “Sister Patterson? What is going on?”

    Karim

    “It’s something I can’t talk about right now. Not until the right people know.’

    Alexis

    “See there. We have something in common. I can’t tell you , or I should say I can’t talk about my innocence just yet. Some things need to happen before I can speak. “

    Karim

    “See, that just don’t sound right. What kind of things?”

    Alexis

    “I don’t want to talk about that.” She says walking closer to him.

    “I am a woman in need. My body is yearning.’ She says seductively caressing his chest and abs. She then cups his crotch in her hand.

    “I need you daddy. I want you inside of me.” She kisses him and he gives in to her passion and kisses her back. He picks her up and she wraps her legs around him.

    “I’ve missed you chocolate daddy.”

    Karim

    “I’ve missed you to.” He says kissing her continually.





    Back on the Beach

    Mona

    “She’s right over there?” She says pointing toward a palm tree

    Ashley

    “Why do you have her tied up to a tree?”

    Mona

    “I don’t know if I can trust her yet. I was afraid as soon as she realized she was in Pasadena, she would take off and my plans for revenge would be ruined. I will not chance anything at this point.”

    Ashley

    “It looks like she is dead.”

    Mona

    “Not at all, just my special potion, I call sleep aid. Bring the car over and lets go. I need to smoke.”

    Ashley shakes her head but goes get her car as Mona walks over to Sharan and unties her from the palm tree.





    TC Hotel

    Dre walks into Ty’s office.

    Ty

    “Is Lauren dead yet?”

    Dre

    “Things have changed.”

    Ty

    “Your assignment did not. I paid you for a job.”

    Dre

    “Lauren is pregnant. I can’t kill a pregnant woman.”

    Ty

    “Pregnant? That was fast. Daniel wasn‘t plying no games.”

    Dre

    “It’s not even Daniel’s child.”

    Ty

    “Chris is the father?”

    Dre, keeping the info on Lauren and Kevin for himself

    “Yea man.”

    Ty

    “How does Daniel feel about this?”

    Dre

    “He’s pretty hurt.”

    Ty

    “Is he going to stand by Lauren?”

    Dre

    “It seemed that way.”

    Ty

    “Then she has to die. I don’t care if she’s having a baby. She has brainwashed Daniel against me and she has to be taken out. She has been a thorn in my side for far too long.”

    Dre

    “I’ma keep it real, I don’t feel comfortable killing a pregnant woman.”

    Ty

    “You either kill Lauren, or I am going to kill you.”

    Dre

    “Why don’t you kill Lauren yourself if it’s that serious?”

    Ty, reaching into his desk drawer and pulling out a gun and aiming it at Dre

    “How about I kill you right now?”

    Dre, smiling, pulling out a gun from is coat pocket and aiming it at Ty,

    “It aint going down like that homey”

    Ty is stunned that one of his own henchmen is holding a gun on him.





    In an undisclosed location

    Mona is about to light up her drug stick when Ashley stops her,

    “Please don’t smoke in front of my baby.’

    Mona

    “You’re baby?”

    Ashley

    “The baby ok? It doesn’t matter, this child will make Bryan and I a family.”

    Mona

    “Men are so overrated.”

    Ashley

    “Then you need to see what Bryan has in his pants.”

    Mona

    “Say that to me ever again and I will cut that tongue out and shove it up your ass!.”

    Ashley

    “Sorry. I forget about your father.”

    Mona

    “No, Call him Abe. He is no father to me. What kind of man takes his daughter and molest her years and years on end? He took me away from her, making her believe I was dead. I don’t even know my own mother. I don’t know what having a family is even like. That Bastard took that chance away from me. And for that, he will pay.”

    Sharan, laying on a bed, begins to wake up. She opens her eyes and is stunned to see Ashley. She screams. Mona covers Sharan’s hand with her mouth as Bryan Jr the 1st begins to cry.

    Ashley

    “See what you did?”

    Mona

    “Its ok baby. Calm down.” She says as she removes her hand from Sharan’s mouth.

    Sharan

    “Ashley? I thought you were dead. Bryan ran you over with his car. I went to your funeral.”

    Ashley

    “Surprise!”

    Sharan

    “So you two are working together?”

    Ashley

    “It doesn’t matter.”

    Sharan

    “Mona, how can we begin to get serious if you can’t trust me enough to tell me what’s going on? Where are we anyway?”

    Mona

    “Pasadena”

    Sharan’s heart stops as her chances of freedom has just been served to her on a silver platter. She tells herself to still play cool and not alert Mona to any suspicion. She has to keep this game up as Ashley leaves the ecret compound.





    Westwood Park

    Ria opens her door after hearing her door bell and she is stunned to see Karl Hutchins at her door step.

    “What is a rich man like you doing in these parts?”

    Karl

    “Victoria Winters. It’s nice to formally meet you. May I come in?”

    Ria, wondering what Karl is up to, and a little weary ,

    “Yea that would be nice. You can help me eat this chicken and dumplings I made.”

    Karl, laughing, following her into the house

    “Some soul cooking. Sounds great” He says grabbing a seat at Ria’s breakfast nook. Ria serves his food and she grabs a seat.

    Ria

    “So this is strange, you here in my neck of the woods. You got some money?”

    Karl

    “Come again?”

    Ria

    “You hard of hearing man? Can I have some money? I know you and Ty are loaded.”

    Karl

    “Maybe.”

    Ria

    “What is that supposed to mean?”

    Karl

    “I won’t waste your time or mine. I need some info.”

    Ria

    “Well my lips don’t give out info unless you show me the money or maybe if you got a big dick.”

    Karl, stunned by her aggressiveness but pulls out a wad of cash,

    “Will you talk now?”

    Ria

    “Sho nuff. What you want to know” Taking the money from his hand.

    Karl

    “Jennifer.”

    Ria

    “Hmmph… that Bitch. What you want to know about her? You should know more about her than me. Aren’t you living with her and your son?”

    Karl

    “That doesn’t matter right now. See, you took this little trip to Cleveland with her a while back.”

    Ria

    “We on that again?”

    Karl

    “Yes, what I want to know is if Jennifer and Santino had anything going on.”

    Ria

    “Did they? Hell yea they did. They were kissing and flirting.”

    Karl, smiling

    “I knew it. Thank you for your time Ms. Winters.”

    Ria

    “Call me Ria and tell your son I am available cause I know he is about to leave Jenny. I wouldn‘t mind having you as a father in law.”

    Karl, laughing

    “I‘ll tell my son that. You‘re quite charming….Ria.”

    Ria

    “ Anyways,….I hope Ty leaves Jenn high and dry. She was wrong for what she did to Jodie. Blackmailing Jodie about her HIV status. That’s just sick. Ol white devil.. If there is anything I can do to right the wrong Jenn caused, I’m there.”

    Karl

    “I’ll keep that in mind. Hate to chat and run, but I really have to get going.” he says getting up and leaving.

    Ria

    “Looks like Jenn is in trouble.”





    Sabryn walks into the main lobby S.G.. She is wearing a beautiful red sexy fitting dress, sleeveless, high heels, showing off her back to normal body shape after having a baby, holding a black folder in her left hand , and holding the phone with the other.

    SABRYN

    “How is he? I miss him already.”

    The conversation cuts to her mansion on Lavender Hill, as she steps in the elevator...

    Back in the nursery, Bryan is leaning over the baby crib, and touching JR's face.

    BRYAN

    “Sweetie, he is fine... sleeping like an angel.”

    Back in the office, Sabryn has her hand on the door knob.

    SABRYN

    “Ahh... I promise, I will be home within an hour.”

    BRYAN

    “No no no... you do your thing, and we'll see you later.”

    SABRYN

    “I just have a few phone calls to make and I'll -”

    With that she opens the door and stop dead in her tracks. The room is full with flowers, all over the room, beautiful fresh white roses embellished with alchemillia mollis.... Sitting in beautiful heart custom vases.

    Sabryn slowly enters the room, and closes the door behind her, within minutes, her eyes are full with tears.

    BRYAN, still on the phone,

    “Hello?... Earth to the most beautiful woman in the world.”

    He said stepping toward the window, and looking outside to the yard.

    SABRYN

    “I am here... I'm - I don't know what to say?”

    BRYAN

    “Well, I take it you got my surprise.”

    SABRYN

    “I love you…”

    BRYAN

    “I love you too... Now, go enjoy your flowers while I go take a shower, before JR wakes.”

    SABRYN

    “Give him my love…”

    BRYAN

    “I will.”

    Bryan hangs up the door, and he returns to the baby's crib, and leans forward and kisses his forehead.

    From outside the window, Ashley dressed in all red, plaster leather pants, fitting red boots, with very thin high heels, is watching Bryan's every move.

    She watches as Bryan walks out of the baby's room. Ashley pulls open the windows, and steps in the room. She slowly makes her way toward the baby's crib.

    ASHLEY

    “Hello Brat!” She says with a devious smile, looking at the baby...


  15. aMLCproduction
    Back at the railroad tracks, Dahlia continues to scream and breathe heavily as the train heads right towards her! She looks back at Ashley with a desperate look in her eyes that are pouring tears out every second.

    Dahlia

    "Please, if you have an ounce of decency in you, you'll help me! I can't die, not now of all times! We can work something out, I promise you, I- "

    Dahlia is stopped as the train is now only centimeters away, and a loud, long scream is heard as the train runs right over Dahlia!!! Ashley laughs maniacally, as Dahlia's screams are heard miles and miles away. Ashley continues to laugh as the scream is muffled after only a few seconds, and she grins as pieces of what's left of Dahlia go flying all over the place, even a piece of meat hits Ashley in the face. After the train passes, all that is left is a devoured corpse. Ashley smirks as she crosses her arms and walks over to it and kicks it a little.

    Ashley

    "Well, looks like one bitch is down, two to go. I'm really sorry it had to end like…this, but that's what you get for trying to interfere in my plans. But if you can still hear me at all, wherever the hell you are, take comfort in the fact that your enemy Natalia will suffer even more than you did. "

    Ashley then looks at the small remnants of Dahlia, with some skeletal parts showing that remained intact, one last time before turning and walking away, still with a huge smile on her face.

    Ashley, muttering to herself

    "And soon, Bryan will be mine."





    Episode 93: Tidbits Of Dahlia

    Written by ML Cooks, Tara Smith and Durand Saint Hilaire

    The Williams House,

    Abe is stunned as he looks upon his brother, getting it on with his wife

    "What the hell is going on?" He says furiously, slamming the door; as he steps inside the house.

    DC looks up at Abe as he gets off of his brother's wife. Sister Patterson than stands up to look at her husband.

    Abe: You and my brother; in my Home?

    Sister Pat is speechless; fixing her clothes, as she tries stepping in between Abe and DC.

    Abe

    "What's the matter, can't talk now? "After 25 years of marriage, and after everything you and I have been through – and – and this is –

    Sister Pat: Abe, it is not what it looks like – You have to believe – what's just happened here - was nothing –

    DC: Woman please –

    PAT: Husband, Abe look at me; your brother had his dirty fat sloppy hands on me…

    DC: Now you are tripping –

    Abe: Shut the hell up, DC!

    Sister Patterson, wiping tears from her face

    "Are you blind or what? What does it look like? Ever since he came to town he has been all over me, pushing me, and tempting me… Oh Gosh, Lord knows I hate him; I hate him for what I have become…

    Abe: "What will Miss Jenkins say about this?"

    DC: "Don't tell me you buy into this Miss Jenkins hoopla."

    Abe grabs his brother by the chest and slams him against the wall, and with a punch straight in the jaw.

    Sister Pat: Stop it!

    DC laughs as he spits blood from his mouth to the ground.

    "You boys gone quit hitting an old man now."

    Abe: "What is that supposed to mean?"

    DC: "Your damn sons. All you boys have been hitting up on me."

    Sister Pat: "Give it up. Listen Abe, I can't do this no more. I have sinned. Lord have Mercy I have sinned" she says breaking in to a whirlwind of tears, almost becoming hysterical

    "God, strike me down now, Lord have Mercy." She looks up into Abe's eyes

    "I cheated on you with Don. Our daughter, Kelis, was his child. Don was the father of Kelis. But God punished you by taking her away from us. Lord I am so sorry."

    DC pushes Abe away from him, Abe is taken aback as a flood of flashbacks enter his mind. He remembers, being at the hospital, and kidnapping Kelis. He then remembers, having her tied up to a bed, then molesting her for years on end.

    Abe: "Kelis wasn't our child?"

    Sister: "No. That's why I shut down from you Abe. That's why I pushed you away. I couldn't give myself to you no more knowing what I caused, the death of a child. I am sorry' She says wrapping her arms around his legs, still crying hysterically.

    Abe looks at his brother with hurt and anger in his eyes

    "Why would the two of you do this to me? DO you know what you've caused? I can't take this. And My sons knew, and didn't say anything to me? My whole family" Abe shrugs his wife off him.

    He looks at his brother and wife

    "You two can have each other. I'm done." Abe then walks out the house with out saying another word.

    Sister Patterson is still sitting on the floor crying and praying

    "Lord have Mercy. Miss Jenkins is not going to like this. I lost my family."

    DC: "It was bound to happen."

    Pat: "And don't you start with me.

    DC: You kept my child, my child! Away from me! I didn't have time to mourn her."

    Sister Patter stops her water works upon hearing DC speak again and she gets up. She grabs her bible off the coffee table and begins to beat DC with it.





    Pasadena Police station

    Alexis is put back into her cell after coming from morning chow, when Rufus and Lisa approach her cell.

    Rufus

    "You look so down Lexie. Cheer up, honey! Today is a good day!"

    Alexis

    "Look I don't want to talk about Natalia……. Why is she dead?"

    Rufus

    "Not yet… Soon I hope"

    Lisa: "I don't know about all of that and it sounds like I don't want to; but we came down here because we have good news."

    Rufus: "Welcome to freedom"
    Alexis: "I'm being released?"

    Lisa: "Yes ma'am." As she says that, the guard opens the cell door to release her.

    Alexis: "Finally. It's about time. How did you do it Lisa?"

    Lisa: "I was able to get the D.A. to drop the charges due to lack of evidence.. Like you said, it was a dark and stormy night' They all laugh as Alexis gives her a hug

    "Thank you so much. "

    Rufus: "Just in time too. Divine Design needs some damage control."

    Alexis: "Not from you fruit cake"

    Rufus: "Excuse me?"

    Alexis: "Your services are no longer needed. You're dismissed. Too many cooks spoil the broth. Now get lost." She starts walking away.

    Rufus: MMMM- Not so fast sweetie; I still have control of your shares, remember?"

    Lisa and Alexis stop

    Alexis: Excuse me?

    Rufus: Yeah, remember that piece of paper you had me sign?

    Alexis: Lisa?

    Lisa: I am sorry; I was just doing you what you asked?

    Alexis: Well, reverse it.

    Rufus: "I'll give you two days to work it out… in the meantime you know where to find me;" Rufus starts walking away, and she stops. "And by the way if you need a place to stay, let me know; the penthouse is big enough for two people, oh here's a key just in case you change your mind."

    She hands the key to Alexis, and Lisa takes it; and Rufus heads out.

    Alexis: Fu(king bitch! That beast in a dress will not best me."



    Huntington Memorial Hospital

    Dr. Kiko Whitfield walks into Natalia's room. He sees Ria's watching Life in Salem's new spin off, Affairs of the Heart on TV sitting next to Natalia.

    Ria: "Well hello. Usually I would cuss anyone out for interrupting my stories, but for you cutie, I'll make an exception"

    Kiko: "Good to know you have a sense of humor"

    With that Kiko heads towards Natalia on the bed.

    "How are you feeling?"

    Natalia: "I want to die."

    Kiko: "I am really sorry for your loss."

    Natalia begins to have tears come to her eyes,

    "Some one killed my baby. I can't believe some one shot me and killed my innocent child."

    Kiko: "I know this must be hard for you. I am prescribing some sedatives. I trust you will keep an eye on her Victoria?"

    Ria: "You sounded sexy when you said my name. Can you say it again papi?"

    Kiko: "I'll take that as a yes. Listen, Natalia, It would help to speak someone; preferably a counselor, I can recommend some good people for you; if you wouldn't mind." Kiko begins to walk out of the room when Ria jumps in front of him

    "Why are you being shady? You don't like women or something? I know I am a pretty young thang out here."

    Kiko: "You've already been with my brother. And I don't keep it in the family. Now if you'll excuse me" He says before walking out.

    Ria: "Whatever. I will get me some of him. Fine ass. And he is a doctor too. He just don't know, I would rock his world!" She then looks at Nat.

    "Girl you ready? Let's go back to my house and I'll fix up something good. You look like you can use a good meal."

    Natalia looks into Ria's eyes

    "My baby, the one thing holding Mark and I together; is gone Ria. And Mark didn't even have the decency to come over to check up on his baby."

    Ria: "He was here girl. He knows the baby is dead."

    Natalia: "And he didn't even come to see how I was doing. I am grasping at straws here."

    Ria: "Girl what you talking about? I know you are not about to concede to defeat."

    Natalia: "I just see everything so clearly now. Mark is never going to love me. I have no chance with him."

    Ria: "Well girl, it could have been Bryan's baby. Oh and You know Sabryn just gave birth."

    Natalia: "I don't want to hear nothing like that. It's time to take control of all these people that are after me. I have to find out who shot me. I want to find the person that killed my baby."

    Ria: "I hate to say it but there is a lot of people who hate you."

    Natalia: "Tell me about it, Sabryn, Rufus, Suga. This is war. I am back bitches." Ria gives Natalia a big hug,

    'That's what I am talking about." Natalia pulls back from Ria's hug.

    "That means you too Ria"

    Ria: "Excuse me?"

    Natalia : "Did you get revenge on me by shooting me for not letting you in the fashion?"

    Ria is appalled and slaps Natalia



    Down the hall, Kevin walks into Lauren room.

    Kevin: "Is everything ok? Why are you here?"

    Lauren: "Well I fainted at Ty's mansion arguing with Jennifer. I found out I am pregnant Kevin."

    Kevin's heart stops.

    "Damn! So what does this mean? Am I the father?"

    Lauren, wiping a tear

    "I don't know . It could your's or Chris's. I feel like such a whore? " Kevin holds her.

    Kevin: "Don't feel like that. " Kevin is so stunned he is at a loss for words.

    "Does Daniel know?"

    Lauren: "He thinks it's Chris's"

    Kevin: "Lauren I am so sorry. What are you going to do?"

    Lauren: "What do you mean, what I am going to do?"

    Kevin: "Are you going to keep it?"

    Lauren: "Of course I am. How could you ask something like that?"

    Kevin: "Lauren, think about it. Having this baby is not good for anyone; If the baby turns out to be Chris's, well Chris is dead. He would not have a father. And if it's mine, then..?"

    Lauren: "Then what?"

    Kevin: "I love Sharan….. You love Daniel right?"

    Lauren: "Yes I do, but regardless who's the father, I am going to love this baby no matter what. I can't really believe you were trying to suggest I get rid of it. What has gotten into you?"

    Kevin: "I am just trying to do what is best for everyone. If this child is mine, it would hurt so many people. Lauren, we crossed the line. We made an error in judgment. Let's not put this baby through the pain of not having a family."

    Lauren, wiping tears

    "This baby is just an inconvenience for you. Don't worry about it Kevin. This is a gift from God. I am not going to alter that…. This child will have a family, two people who will love him and care for him for the rest of his life – Daniel and I will raise this child, no matter who's the father is… We don't need you and if you can't deal with that; I suggest you go to hell.

    Kevin: "Lauren please don't be like that. Look I am sorry."

    Lauren: Just get the hell out… When did you become so cruel?"

    Kevin: "It's not even like that. Lauren we have been friends since high school. You know me better that that."

    Lauren: I can't even look at you right now; just please – Just leave…

    Kevin: Lauren;

    Lauren: You are stressing me and my child… Please –

    Kevin, obliges and leaves Lauren alone for the moment. He leaves Lauren in peace and as he leaves, she grabs her pillow and hugs it, bursting into tears.



    Sabryn' s Room,

    Bryan walks in and smiles at his new family. He watches Sabryn hold their new born son.

    Sabryn: "How nice of you to join us. Are you sure you're not going to pass out are you?"

    Bryan, chuckling,

    "No I am not and I am sorry I did. It was all so over whelming." he says walking over to her and kissing her forehead.

    "Our son is handsome. Looks just like his dad."

    Sabryn: "No no, he gets his looks from his mother."

    Bryan: "Can I hold him?"

    Sabryn: "Yes you can." Sabryn hands Bryan Jr. to his dad." Bryan is overjoyed at holding his son for the first time.

    "Hey little guy. I love you so much. I am going to do right by you and give you the kind of home I never had." He kisses his son on the forehead as Dr. Kiko Whitfield walks into the room.

    Kiko: "Mr. Dattilo, nice of you to join us this time."

    Bryan: "Sorry doctor."

    Kiko: "It's quite alright. It happens a lot. And how is the new mother doing?"

    Sabryn: "I am fine."

    Kiko: "Good. I am here with your release papers."

    Sabryn: "Thank you so much. Bryan and I have a wedding to plan."

    Kiko: "I hope I get the first invitation. I did deliver you a baby."

    Bryan: "Of course doctor. We are inviting you right now. It's in two days."

    Kiko: "Congratulations. " Kiko says leaving.

    Bryan: "Good because I got a surprise for you."



    Westwood Park

    Natalia steps out of the shower when her door bell rings. She wraps her towel around her and goes to find out who it is. She opens the door and is not too pleased to see Mark.

    "Oh how nice of you to show up now. Where the hell where you at when I needed you? I had to mourn the loss of this baby all by my damn self."

    Mark: "Please Natalia. I told you this baby was the only thing binding us together. The baby is gone and that means it's a wrap between you and I. I never loved you and I told you that repeatedly.'

    Natalia: "I got the message. Loud and clear. You don't have to worry about me chasing you or trapping you no more. I am done. I've wasted my time fighting to be with you for the past year and look at where it has gotten me? Heart ache and pain."

    Mark: "That's no one's fault but your own."

    Natalia: "And you don't even give a damn. Why the hell are you here?"

    Mark: "To tell you I know exactly what you did to be with me. You paid Suga to stab Dahlia in jail, thanks to you having her arrested. You are the reason why she could not have children."

    Natalia: "How did you find out? Suga told you?"

    Mark: "Dahlia her self did. In fact I am looking for her. Have you seen her?'

    Natalia: "Dahlia? What do you mean she told you?"

    Mark: "She's alive. She did not die in the trash compacter and she told me everything you did."

    Natalia: "This can't be happening."



    In an undisclosed location, Ashley is holding a baby as she sits in a rocking chair.

    "Mommy got rid of an enemy today little guy. Mommy is fighting for our family." Then Diego walks in.

    "I got some interesting news for you.'

    Ashley: "Which is?"

    Diego: "Sabryn named her on Bryan Jr."

    Ashley: "That bitch can't do this. My son is named Bryan Jr. Oh well, it will be settled at the wedding."

    Diego: "Kiko released them today. The wedding is in two days."

    Ashley: "Did you hear that Bryan Jr? You're going to meet your daddy in two days" She says kissing the baby. Then Ashley's cell phone rings

    "Hello,…. It's about damn time. I'll meet you down there in a few minutes." She hangs her phone up.

    Diego: "Who was that?"

    Ashley: "The Lady in Black. Mona is back in Pasadena…"

    Huntington Memorial Hospital

    Ashley and Dahlia stare at each other. Ashley's face reddens as she realizes that Dahlia has caught her trying to inject something into Natalia's I.V.

    Ashley

    "Welcome to the back-from-the-dead-Club."

    Dahlia

    "I can't believe it. You're alive. What are you doing?"

    Ashley

    "What do you think? I'm taking out the enemy."

    Dahlia

    "So, you're going to kill Natalia?"

    Ashley

    "Why not? You know, it's quite a coincidence . . . Natalia is shot on the same day you decide to return from the dead. You shot her at the fashion show, right?

    Dahlia

    "Nah, I'm looking at the person who shot Natalia. And now you're here to finish the job."

    Ashley

    "Perhaps."

    Dahlia

    "Good luck with that. I'm outta here."

    Ashley

    "Just one moment missy. Do you really think I am going to let you walk out of here, knowing that you know I'm alive? Hmmm, I don't think so. You're not going anywhere. I have too much riding on this. So let's make this easy . . . you're coming with me. "

    Dahlia

    "Look Ashley, I don't care what you're doing, OK? I see nothing, I know nothing. I'm leaving. You don't have to worry about me saying anything."

    She tries to leave. Ashley grabs her arm.

    Ashley

    "I told you, you're not going anywhere."

    Dahlia

    "Let go of me! If you think I'm going with you, you're nuts. What in the hell do you think you're going to do to me?"

    Ashley

    "Funny that you ask that question. Allow me to show you."

    Meanwhile,

    Lina walks up to Heath who is standing outside Jodie's hospital room. She is carrying two bottled water's ; she stops next to Heath.

    Lina: Here…

    Heath: Thanks

    Lina: Any word?

    Heath: No; the doctor is still with her.

    Mike is making his way toward the room; just as he stops at the door, Dr. Diego walks out of Jodie's room.

    Mike: Doctor; how is she?

    Diego: "She's stable. But very weak;

    Mike: "What caused this?"

    Diego: "Jodie's white blood cell count is extremely low… below three hundred, which means she is now developed full blown AIDS.

    Mike: Why didn't I see this coming?

    Diego: There isn't anything you could have done; she admitted to me she hasn't been taking her medications since she arrived here in Pasadena… All the stress from the fashion show - She needs lot's of love and support right now…

    Mike: Can we go in?

    Diego: I am allowing one visitor at a time." (Diego's pager goes off) "Now if you will excuse me, I have other patients." He says walking away.

    Mike, looking at Jodie' friends.

    Heath: You go ahead."

    Mike: Thank you all for showing Jodie your support."

    Lina: "We'll be out here waiting if you need anything. Tell Jodie we are here for her and she has our love and support."

    Mike: "Will do." He says before entering Jodie's room. He enters her room and tears immediately begin to fill up his eyes, watching the woman he loves hooked up to I.V.'s and heart monitor's. He walks over and sits down next to her and holds her hand as he talks to her,

    "Diego told me you haven't been taking your meds. I don't understand why you wouldn't. Don't you know how dangerous that is; it's like you're trying to commit suicide. Jodie, at this point, I really don't know what I would do if I lost you."

    Jodie, slowly opening her eyes, looking at Mike; she forces a small smile.

    "Mike, it's something that is inevitable. My time here is not unlimited."

    Mike: "I know that but you're making it so much quicker by not taking your meds. Why would you do something like that? No one's time here is unlimited."

    Jodie, pausing before answering

    "There are so many reasons; for one the side effects. Every time I put those toxic pills in my body I become so sick. I vomit and that takes all of my energy. Not only that, I wasn't able to find a doctor to get my meds transferred out here in Pasadena. And I felt fine with out them."

    Mike: "Well look at you now? DO you feel fine now?"

    Jodie: Why are we fighting?

    Mike: "Jodie, I love you. I love you so much. I don't want to loose you. When I look at you, I don't even think of you having AIDS. I just see the woman I love."

    Jodie: "Mike please stop. You are delusional. You're acting like I am going to live forever. My expiration date is soon."

    Mike

    "Jodie, stop saying that! How do you know? "

    Jodie

    "I don't. I am trying to save you the pain."

    Mike

    "Let me worry about how I deal with my pain. I want to be here for you and support you. You have to let me do that. You have to tart taking your meds. " Mike walks over to Jodie and holds her. She holds him back with tears running down her face

    "Mike, I'm so scared. I am not ready to die"





    Diego walks into Lauren's hospital room,

    Daniel and Lauren both look at him.

    Diego

    "How do you feel Lauren?"

    Lauren

    "Fine. I'm a little nauseous."

    Daniel

    "Doctor, what's the matter? Do you know why Lauren fainted?"

    Diego

    "Congratulations Lauren, you are 4 months pregnant."

    Lauren's and Daniel's jaws drop simultaneously. Daniel realizes he's been gone for four months. He is hurt and angry. He gets up and walks toward the door. Lauren realizes that Chris or Kevin could be the father of this child. It then dawns on her that she was heavily drinking 3 to 4 months ago.

    Lauren

    "Oh my God, this can't be happening."

    Diego

    "Wow, I thought you would be happy about having a baby. Your release papers are at the nurse's station. Have a good day."

    Diego leaves.

    Lauren wipes tears from her face as she looks at Daniel's back

    Lauren

    "I am so sorry."

    Daniel turns back around. He gives her a cold stare.

    Daniel

    "I really need some time to myself right now.'

    Lauren

    "Where are you going?"

    Daniel

    "I am not going to do nothing stupid, don't worry. I need to clear my head. This is overwhelming. I fought so hard to get you back. And now I find out you're carrying a dead man's baby. This changes everything Lauren."

    He says before walking out. Lauren wipes the tears streaming down her cheeks. She picks the up phone and dials.

    Lauren

    "Hello, Kevin. We need to talk."







    In the E.R.

    Kiko guides Sabryn through the delivery of her baby. Sabryn screams her lungs out. Bryan watches as his baby comes out of the love canal slowly but surely. He is overjoyed that he is about to become a father.

    Sabryn

    "I'll never do this again, I swear! Son of a Bitch, son of psycho. Make the pain stop!"

    She continues screaming as Bryan, unable to take the sight and smell of birth, passes out onto the floor.

    Sabryn

    "You Bastard! I'll get you for this."

    Kiko

    "Keep pushing. One more push. Come on, you can do it."

    Sabryn pushes again with all of her might. The baby finally arrives. A crying baby boy. As Kiko wraps towels around the newborn, the baby pees in Kiko's face.

    Kiko

    "Well thank you for letting me know you're here."

    Kiko puts the baby in Sabryn's arms. Tears begins to roll down cheeks.

    Sabryn

    "My beautiful baby boy."

    She looks over and sees Bryan still passed out onto the floor.

    "Your daddy is a sissy, little one. You're so beautiful. I think I will name you Bryan Jr.'

    She kisses the forehead of her newborn son.







    The Jump Off

    Daniel grabs a seat at the bar and orders a beer. He looks over to the left and realizes Dondre is sitting next to him.

    Daniel

    "What's up Dondre? I haven't seen you since I came back from the dead."

    Dre

    "Please bruh, don't use my government name. Just call me Dre. It's a little bit strange seeing you here after everyone thought you had been stabbed."

    Daniel

    "Well, I have no one to blame about that, other than that crazy ass Bitch Mona." He takes a gulp of his beer.

    Dre

    "Yeah, Mona. I keep hearing that name. She's the one who set me up for the kidnapping of Sharan."

    Daniel

    "That's a joke. She kidnapped Sharan."

    Dre

    "Word?"

    Daniel

    "Fu(k yeah dude. She tortured me and had Sharan tied up as her sex slave."

    Dre

    "Sex slave? That's some freak ass sh!t man."

    Daniel

    "Mona is freaky and crazy. Psycho bitch had me hooked on meth. She's the one who shot me and made it look like I tried to kill myself."

    Dre

    "Damn. Why she do all that?"

    Daniel

    "I don't want to get into that right now. There is a time and place for everything. Our paths will cross again. And you know what? I am going to shoot that Bitch on sight."

    He finishes his beer.

    Dre

    "I'd wanna kill that broad too. You don't know where Sharan is now?"

    Daniel

    "No. She wanted to take Sharan away from Kevin."

    Dre

    "At least some one feels where I am coming from."

    Daniel

    "You still have feelings for Sharan?"

    Dre

    "Yes sir."

    Daniel

    "Listen, I know you and Chris were really close. I feel guilt every day knowing he is dead for a crime he did not do."

    Dre

    "Damn straight. That's fu(ked up what Mona did to my boy. I need to have a few words with this Mona myself. Chris was a brave heart. He didn't deserve that. Ain't no way he could have stabbed you regardless if Mona was in the picture. He wasn't on no sh!t like that"

    Daniel (pausing and ordering another beer)

    "Chris lives on."

    Dre

    "What you mean by that?"

    Daniel

    "Lauren is having Chris's baby."

    Dre almost chokes on his beer

    "Yo girl pregnant?"

    Daniel

    "4 months."

    Dre is stunned. Then he remembers overhearing Lauren and Kevin talking about their one night stand. Dre wonders if the baby really belong to Chris or is it Kevin's.







    Huntington Memorial Hospital

    Ashley clutches Dahlia's arm tightly, and Dahlia tries to push her way through Ash but fails. Ashley smiles at Dahlia as she pulls her back over to Natalia's bedside.

    Dahlia

    "What the hell do you want? Let me go and we can pretend like this never happened. "

    Ashley

    "Don't be in such a rush, Dahlia! Don't worry, I just have to get something and we can leave. "

    Dahlia

    We?

    Ashley

    "Yes, "we". You really think I'm just going to let you walk out of here like nothing happened? Oh no, I have plans for you. "

    Dahlia

    "Just leave me alone, damnit! I'm not going to do anything to you! "

    Ashley

    "Of course not, you won't be alive long enough for that. "

    Dahlia

    "Wh-what do you mean? No…NO… "

    Ashley, laughing

    "YES, Dahlia! "

    Ashley then grabs a needle off of a tray near Natalia's bed, and then makes sure it is filled up with drugs, before pulling Dahlia's arm closer and injecting it into her! Dahlia tries to scream, but she falls unconscious before she can make another sound…

    Ashley

    "I'm really so sorry about this , but its gotta be done. Now, we better get going, the train's waiting!"







    Sister Patterson, again dressed in her bank robber's attire, walks up to the dark house that is Miss Jenkins' house. She opens the door with a Bible in one hand and a picnic basket in the other.

    Sister Pat

    "I got to make things right with Miss Jenkins. She's not pleased with my work for the Lord anymore. "

    Before Pat can go inside, she's grabbed! She instinctively turns around and tries to slap whoever has a hold of her. Then she sees that it's DC.

    DC

    "Girl, what are you doing at some random house?"

    Sister Pat

    "None of your business, boy. Now go away. And for the Love of God, get you're fat ass hands off of me. They smell like chicken wings."

    Before Pat can break free of his grip, DC begins to drag her back to her house. She tries to hit him with the Bible but he ignores it.

    Sister Pat

    "The Lord will punish you for this! What is Miss Jenkins going to say. I can't believe you did this, you fat ass bastard. Lawd have Mercy! Don't get me in here cussin'."

    DC

    "Yea yea old woman. What do you have in that basket? We'll have a little romance real fast, before Abe gets home. Just like in the old days. Remember that girl?"

    Sister Pat

    "Excuse me? I got to do the work of the Heavenly Father. That means you don't have anything to do with it. And Miss Jenkins will not be happy. How dare you come in here and disrespect my family this way."

    DC (walking up close to her)

    "I don't give a damn about no Miss Jenkins. It's about time you think about actual people than Miss Jenkins. Crazy ass woman. But that's what drive me crazy about you girl. You need some good lovin' to shut ya up. My brother ain't giving it to ya, right?"

    Sister Pat

    "I'm not gonna tell you again: Don't no one talk about Miss Jenkins like that! Boy, I should just bathe you in Holy Water for all your sins. "

    DC

    "Sins of passion girl. How about we take a shower together? "

    Sister Pat

    "Oh please. I'm not gonna be impure with you anymore, DC. This is over. We can't do this. That's why God took our baby Kelis. It's wrong and Abe had to pay for all of it."

    DC grabs her and pulls her into a kiss! Sister Pat once again tries to slap him with the Bible. She stumbles away from DC after the kiss ends.

    Sister Pat

    "Don't you ever do that again! "

    DC

    "You know you loved it, girl".

    DC then gently grabs Sister Pat again and kisses her. She tries to slap him once, but then stops as she and DC fall onto the couch. He begins to slowly try to take her clothes off. Pat almost pulls back but decides to give in to her temptation. She kisses DC's neck as he continues to slip off her clothes. Both of them look up when they hear the door open. It's Abe, looking on in astonishment!





    Ashley has Dahlia tied down to a set of rail road tracks. Dahlia nervously tries to struggle out of the ropes. Ashley sits on the side of the tracks and watches in amusement.

    Ashley

    "You know, there's really no use in trying to break free. Even if you do, I'll tie you right back down again. You know that I will. I'm sorry, but this is the end, Ms.Salem. This time The Garbage Lady will die"

    Dahlia

    "I cheated death once. I can do it again, bitch! You shouldn't underestimate me."

    She says still trying to break free,

    Ashley (laughing)

    "That's the difference between Natalia and I. I get the job done. She never could. That's why you survived her attack on you, You know, paying Suga to stab you. That made you barren, didn't it? What a shame! Sucks to be you. And that lame attempt to kill you at the hospital, but ended up at a landfill. Honestly, who dies like that? That's why you shot her, isn't it? The garbage lady wanted revenge. You shot her and she lost that poor baby. Now it's your turn to meet your maker. Time to die!"

    Dahlia

    "I don't like Natalia anymore than you do, you psycho! If you wanted me to die, why didn't you just shoot me, like you did with Natalia?

    Ashley

    "Me, shoot Natalia? I'm above that !@#$%^&*]-footing. If I had tried to kill Natalia, her remains would be lying right next to where you are right now. We all know you shot her, which is why she didn't die. You aren't an expert like I am. "

    Dahlia

    "I didn't shoot Natalia! I wasn't even there when she was actually shot! "

    Ashley

    "Says you?"

    Dahlia

    ""Come back into the real world, Ashley. You're nuts. You're living in some sort of twisted fantasy world."

    Ashley

    "No my dear, I think the person living in a fantasy would be you. You've never thought that I had the capability to get what I want, what I deserve!"

    Ashley then leans forwards and grabs a hold of Dahlia's chin, clutching it tightly.

    Ashley

    "But I'll tell you something. Soon I will have exactly what I want. Sabryn and Natalia will have nothing!"

    Dahlia

    "Sabryn? What in the hell are you talking about? "

    Ashley

    "Oops, I think I may have leaked some information to you. You definitely need to die now. What a pity. …..NOT!"

    Ashley lets go of Dahlia and gets off of the railroad tracks. The sound of a train approaching is in the distance.

    Ashley

    "Ooooh, what's that? Sounds like The Death Express"

    Dahlia quickly turns and looks as she watches the large train come into sight. She screams and tries harder than ever to break free of the ropes.

    Dahlia

    "Somebody PLEASE help me!"

    Ashley

    "Scream all you want. It will do you no good Dahlia! No one can hear you. Buh bye!"

    Dahlia cries out as she watches the train get closer and closer. It's only a few inches away.

    Ashley wraps her arms around herself and lets out a loud laugh. She's thoroughly enjoying the little scene playing out in from of her. Dahlia, her victim, facing her last peril.

    Ashley

    "When I'm good, I'm bad, But when I'm bad, I'm better."


  17. aMLCproduction
    Westwood Park

    Dahlia is shocked to watch a man suck on her ex-lover's dick.

    Dahlia

    "Mark! What is going on?"

    Mark jumps up. Rufus bites down on his dick. Mark screams as Rufus stands up, looking at Dahlia, wiping the sex juices from his mouth.

    Rufus

    "What a pervert! Do you always barge into people's houses?"

    Dahlia

    "I can't believe what I am seeing here. Mark! I went to jail because of you. You and Natalia. I went to jail because of a faggot."

    Rufus

    "Don't label my man."

    Dahlia walks past Rufus and up in Mark's face

    "Answer me! What is this this?"

    Mark holds on to his manhood as tears roll down his face from the shock of being caught on the down low with Rufus biting his dick. He falls back on the couch and passes out from the alcohol. Dahlia shakes her head and rolls her eyes. She then looks at Rufus.

    Dahlia

    "Yuck. You should be ashamed of yourself."

    Rufus

    "Don't be mad at me girlfriend. I had him first. Before all you bitches. I bet he didn't tell you that, huh honey?"

    Dahlia

    "Before us? How long has this been going on?"

    Rufus

    "Right out of high school."

    Dahlia vomits all over Rufus upon hearing the news that the man she loved, slept with men before she came into the picture.


    Episode 91: Joy and Pain

    Written by: Durand Saint Hillarie and ML Cooks with Miou Slater

    Can I get a Witness West Coast Baptist Church

    The church is empty and quiet. Jodie stands at the end of the altar. She holds a folded jacket in front of her.

    She slowly heads toward the altar, her gaze locked on the statues of the virgin Mary and the baby Jesus.

    At the end of the isle are small, candle-filled tables. She approaches a table, lights a candle and closes her eyes. Tears stream down her face. After taking a deep breath, she opens her eyes and wipes the tears.

    Jodie

    "I can do this."

    She looks at the reflection in the window, checks her makeup and begins her walk down the long hall. She stops at the first door and walks into the room. Inside, a group of young men and women, ages ranging from seventeen to twenty-two, sit in a circle. They all become silent and turn in her direction as she closes the door behind her.

    Jodie

    "Sorry..."

    The leader of the group stands up. He is blonde with shoulder length hair. He has green eyes and an Australian Accent. His name is Heath.

    Heath

    "Hello.. please, come in! Join us..."

    Jodie smiles and heads toward a seat in the circle.

    Heath

    "I am Heath, and you are…..?"

    Jodie

    "Jodie."

    Heath

    "Everyone, please welcome Jodie."

    All

    "Hello..."

    Heath

    "Please, have a seat Jodie."

    Jodie sits down next to the youngest guy in the group. Heath sits down and turns his attention to the crowd. Next to Heath is a young man named Pedro.

    Heath

    "Where were we? Yes, I am nineteen years old. I was diagnosed with HIV on my eighteenth birthday... Before I moved out here to Pasadena, I lived in Miami. I used to think it was fun to sleep with older guys, didn't care much about protection or feelings. It was just sex... Most of the guys I slept with were twice my age."

    Others in the group begin sharing their stories.

    Heath

    "I ran away when I first found out. I couldn't bare to see the look on my mother's face . . . and my friends. That's how I ended up here."

    Pedro

    Have you talked to your parents since you found out?

    Heath

    "Man, they will never understand."

    Pedro

    "Do you miss them?"

    Heath

    "Yes. I miss them a lot. I have hundreds of letters..."

    Heath laughs.

    Heath

    "I wrote one everyday, but I never had the courage to mail them."

    Jodie

    "Are you happy?"

    Heath turns to Jodie. The look on his face comforts her.

    Heath

    "Never been more happier in my life."

    Jodie smiles as Heath looks at her.

    Heath

    "What's your story? How are you doing?"

    Jodie looks at him and pulls a cigarette out of her bag.

    Jodie

    "Do you mind if I smoke?"

    Heath

    "Not at all."

    Lina

    "Sweetie, around here, we don't do that kind of stuff. It's cheap and bad for your health... I got the real stuff."

    Jodie looks at the skinny woman. She is obviously sicker than everyone else in the room. She pulls out a bag of weed from her purse.

    Pedro

    "You always come prepared, don't you Nurse Lina?"

    Everyone laughs.

    Lina

    "Honey, it's clinically proven..."

    She rolls a cigar, and passes it around the room.

    Everyone is smoking, laughing and sharing their stories. Jodie looks around the room. She feels happy, a sense of love.

    She feels welcomed.

    Lina

    "The hospital left me to die at home. I don't have a home. This is my home."

    She gets up and takes hold of Heath's hand. Pedro puts his arms around her.

    Lina

    "You are my family."

    Heath

    "And we love you honey."

    Lina

    "And I love you, both of you."

    She squeezes Heath's cheeks and then does the same to Pedro. She turns to the crowd.

    Lina

    "All of you, you are all my family."

    Jodie

    "I was a prostitute..."

    The room turns quiet. Jodie takes another puff of her weed.

    Jodie

    "Right after Katrina hit New Orleans. Moved to Cleveland, worked the streets to make a living. I had nobody."

    She continued in spite of the tears filling her eyes.

    Jodie

    "No money. I had nothing. Drugs. Alcohol. You name it. I did it, all of it. Would I do it again? I don't know. I mean, look at me. Look at us, all of us. Can we really look back and regret this part of our lives? Or can we just forget the past and move on? How does anyone do that? Every freaking day, I wake up wondering if today is the day. What's going to happen? When is it going to happen? I hate it. I hate what I've become."

    Pedro

    "Darling, darling, this is not your fault."

    Jodie

    "Whose fault was it? The guy that gave it to me? God's? The parents who left me when I was a child? The system? The government?"

    Lina

    "You are not being fair to yourself."

    Jodie

    "I... I made the choice. A choice that turned out to be a mistake."

    The youngest in the room speaks up. He is a young boy named Jason.

    Jason

    "You didn't ask for this."

    He tries to get up from the chair, when suddenly he begins to cough up blood. Heath rushes to him.

    Heath

    "Jason?"

    Jason's breath becomes more labored.

    Jason

    "I can't breath."

    Heath

    "Somebody, call an ambulance."







    PASADENA TRAIN STATION

    Hope Brady is sitting with her ticket in hand and waits for the train to arrive. She pulls out her wallet and looks at a photo of her family. It's an older photo with JT, Bo, Shawn and her.

    She touches the photo.

    Suga walks up and sits next to her.

    Suga

    "Hey!"

    Hope looks at Suga who is pulling out a cigar.

    Hope

    "How did you find me?"

    Suga

    "That crazy old preacher lady told me I would find you here. You know, the bat they call Pat"

    Suga looks at the photo.

    Suga

    "Happy little family you got there."

    Hope

    "Mmmmm...had."

    She closes the wallet.

    Suga

    "You just going to go home. And then..."

    Hope

    "Please don't try to stop me."

    Suga

    "Honey, I am not going to stop you. I just...I hope you know what you are doing."

    Hope

    "I can't stay on the run forever."

    The train approaches the station.

    Suga

    "Well, if that cop husband of yours gives you any trouble, I am just a phone call away."

    Hope

    "Thanks Suga. You've been a real friend."

    Suga

    "Don't get all emotional on me now."

    Hope gets up from the bench. Suga remains seated.

    Suga

    "Well, get going or you'll miss the train."

    Suga looks away as Hope heads toward the train. She reaches the door and looks at Suga who sits on the bench, still looking away.

    Hope boards the train along with the other passengers. She takes her seat looks out the window at Suga as the train takes off. Only then, Suga watches the train roll past her. She wipes away the cascade of tears streaming down her face.

    She's alone once again. In her lonely place with her weed for comfort.







    CITY STREET

    Jodie walks in the street with her coat hugging tightly around her body. She wears it to hide her weight. The weed she smoked earlier is starting to work its magic. Her head starts spinning her eyes feel heavy.

    She wants to get home and find a place to lie down.

    As she stops at the corner and waits for the light to change, a white limo pulls up and stops next to her.

    The window rolls down. She sees Ty sitting in the back seat.

    He watches her and looks deep into her eyes. Then without a single word, the limo drives off.

    She realizes that this will be harder than she thought. The life she so desperately wants seems like a silly dream.

    Just as she is about to cross the street, someone places a hand on her shoulder.

    DC

    "Hello sexy ho."

    She is startled and nearly loses her balance. DC grabs her.

    DC

    "Easy there..."

    She collects her thoughts.

    Jodie

    "DC...what are you doing here?"

    DC

    "Are you okay? You look pale."

    Jodie

    "I am fine. Now would you mind!?"

    She starts to leave.

    DC

    "Not so fast. We still have that little bit of unfinished business."

    Jodie's headache is getting stronger and her patience with DC is wearing thinner.

    Jodie

    "Look, what do you want?"

    DC

    It's time for you to pay what you owe me. You ain't getting away that easy ho."

    Jodie

    "Dude fu(k off! I owe you sh!t!"

    People start gathering around. DC gives a fake smile to the crowd. He grabs a hold of Jodie's arms and pulls her toward him.

    DC

    As fast as I made you, I'll break you...you piece of sh!t. Just remember where you were before me. It's past time to pay what you owe me."

    Jodie

    "Or what?"

    DC

    "Don't push me!"

    Jodie

    "You aren't getting anything from me. I owe you nothing!"

    She spits in his face and pushes him aside. She jumps into the taxi.

    Jodie (to the taxi driver)

    "Drive!"

    As the taxi drives off, Ria exits the coffee shop, clapping her hands. She heads toward DC.

    Ria

    "You really know how to please a woman."

    DC

    "Don't you start on me."

    DC passes her and walks down the opposite direction.







    West wood Park

    Mike's House

    Jodie closes the door and walks into the kitchen. On the table next to a small tray with a couple different pills is a note from Mike. She opens the note and reads it.

    Jodie (reading the note)

    "Honey... I will be working late on my new case. Dinner is in the fridge. Don't forget the pills again. Love, Mike."

    She puts the note back on the table, throws the pills in the trash and walks out.

    In the bedroom

    Jodie lies on the bed. She tosses and turns as she sweats from a bad fever.

    Jodie

    "Mike..."

    She sits up. Her head is spinning and she is burning up.

    Jodie

    "Mike, where are you?"

    She tries to get up. Suddenly, she vomits a mixture of blood and the breakfast she had this morning all over the bed.

    She wants to go to the toilet. She forces herself off the bed, but she knocks over a lamp. It shatters as she collapses on the floor.

    She crawls on the floor. The pain in her belly increases. And the sweat pours from her as the pain engulfs her body.

    Jodie

    "Jesus... Mike... where the are you?"

    She holds her belly and tries to roll over. She screams in pain. She can't feel her legs.

    She throws vomits up again and then defecates on herself.

    The stench fills the room. She is lying in the waste from her own body. She wants to die.

    The bedroom door opens, and Mike walks in.

    Mike

    "What's the smell?"

    He sees Jodie sprawled on the floor.

    Mike

    "Oh my God, Jodie!"

    He rushes to her, picks her up and carries her out the front door.







    Huntington Memorial Hospital

    Heath, Pedro, and Lina are standing at the counter talking to the receptionist. The door opens and Mike rushes in carrying Jodie.

    Mike

    "I need a doctor! Somebody help!"

    Heath turns and recognizes the face.

    Heath

    "It's Jodie!"

    Mike places her on a gurney. Diego rushes to them. As the gurney is pushed away, Mike follows.

    Diego

    "What happened?"

    Mike

    "I found her like this."

    Heath and his friends watch Jodie's gurney being pushed through the double doors. Lina and Pedro embrace Mike.

    Nurse

    "Heath!"

    Heath turns to the nurse.

    Nurse

    "How's Jason?"

    Heath rushes to the room. Lina and Pedro follow.

    Jason lies in the bed. His eyes are open but his life is gone. Heath looks at the body. He grabs Jason's cold hand and closes Jason's eyes.

    Lina and Pedro stand by the door and hold each other.



    Mike stands outside the door and watches Diego as he and the nurses work their magic on Jodie.



    Down the hall, Ashley opens Natalia's door and walks in room. She is dressed in a nurse's outfit. She holds a tray with a needle on it.

    Ashley closes the door behind her, and closes the small blind.

    Natalia

    "Who's here?"

    Ashley

    "Shhhh..."

    She grabs the needle and heads toward the bed.

    Ashley

    "Hello Nat! Remember me?"

    Natalia sees Ashley raise the needle.

    Dahlia has her hand on the door handle to the room. Ashley sees the door handle turning. The door opens.

    Dahlia

    "What are you doing?"


  18. aMLCproduction
    In an undisclosed location in Pasadena

    Dr. Diego Serrano walks into the room where Ashley is huddled over the cubicle. A baby is inside.

    Diego

    "He appears to be fine for a preemie."

    Ashley

    "He has Bryan's genes. Of course, my little man is a fighter."

    Diego checks the infant's vital signs

    "His breathing is normal and his temperature is good. He's getting stronger. What are you going to name him?"

    Ashley (smiling)

    "Bryan Jr."



    Episode: 90, Hope and Pat Pray

    Written by ML Cooks and Tara Smith with Miou Slater

    Downtown Pasadena,

    SG Building

    Gilbert walks into Sabryn's office. The beauty of Sabryn's wedding dress sitting on the mannequin catches him off guard. Sabryn looks up at him as she makes a few alterations on her dress.

    Sabryn

    "Do you like it?"

    Gilbert

    "I'm blown away. You've outdone yourself. This is absolutely stunning."

    Sabryn

    "It is, if I do say so myself. Versace and Gucci have nothing on us. I designed this dress specifically to turn heads and to sh!t all over Divine Design."

    Gilbert

    "Indeed. It's time SG get back on top where we belong."

    Sabryn tries to hug Gilbert, but her enlarged belly gets in the way. They both laugh.

    Gilbert

    "It looks like you're about to drop any minute now."

    Sabryn

    "Kiko says 3 more weeks."

    Gilbert

    "Just in time for your wedding."

    Sabryn sits down and exhales

    "I've waited all my life for this moment. I'm finally marrying the man I love and we're going to be a family."

    Gilbert

    "Sabryn, can I be honest with you about something? I mean we have known each other for years now, been working together since we had the little shop downtown."

    Sabryn

    "Of course, speak, say whatever is on your mind Gilly. I hope you know that you're one my closest and dearest friends."

    Gilbert

    "I am in love with you Sabryn."

    Sabryn

    "I don't know what to say. I'm overwhelmed. Gilly, please don't take this the wrong way, but I didn't think you were into women."

    Gilbert plants a passionate kiss on Sabryn. She pulls away from him.

    Sabryn

    "Oh my God, no!"

    Gilbert

    "What's the matter?"

    Sabryn

    "My water just broke."







    In a back alley on the west side of town.

    Hope waits for Suga's answer.

    Hope

    "Answer me, did you shoot Natalia?"

    Suga

    "Why does it matter? You're already on the run for murder aren't you? I think you have enough to worry about right now ma."

    Hope

    "I just can't take much more of this. A pregnant woman gets shot and I saw it happen!"

    Hope and Suga turn around and see the mighty Sister Patterson.

    Sister Pat

    "The devil has gotten a hold of ya but I am here, Lord have Mercy, to save your soul."

    Suga runs off. Hope stands still. She is intrigued by the sight of this holy woman. Sister Patterson grabs Hope's arm and drags her inside of the Can I Get A Witness West Coast Baptist Church.

    Sister Patterson

    "Thank the Lord for my third eye. I've been looking for you. My third eye never fails me child. We need to pray. You got the devil in ya. I know all about it. You're smoking that stuff, ain't ya!?"

    Hope

    "I . . . I don't know what you're talking about! You drag me inside some church and interrogate me like you're my mother! What do you want from me?!"

    Sister Patterson

    "I'm doing the good Lord's work. Child, don't you lie in my Father's house. Get on your knees now Hope Brady! You're a crackhead and a murderer! You think I don't know what's going on? Thou shall not kill and thou shall not be a basehead!"

    She slaps Hope.

    Sister Patterson

    "That's for being a dummy! Now bow that head and let us pray! God and Miss Jenkins are watching us."

    Hope tries rubbing out the sting of Sister Patterson's slap to her face.

    Hope

    "How do you know all this?! You can't . . . you can't possibly know. Oh God! I can't have another person trying to turn me in! I can't get executed! You want to know why I smoke crack? It keeps me sane. I don't want to . . . I have to!"

    Sister Patterson

    "Child, I am a soldier on the battlefield of sin for my God. It is his good work that I do. He gave me my third eye to help others. It lets me see things others don't. Lately, for some reason, my third eye hasn't been catching everything. But I will tell you something . . .when you do not know, or you're going through hard times, turn to God! He will see you through. You have to trust him. This is not about me turning you in. It's about doing what is right. You must right the wrong you have done. You have two children at home who need you. Stop running. End it all here. Say no to drugs and stop the violence."

    Hope begins to calm down. Being in the church begins to soothe her. Soon she comes out of her hysterical state.

    Hope

    "Sister, if I could take it all back I would . . . but haven't I gone too far to turn back? Killing Gina, drinking, pushing everyone out of my life, smoking . . . it's out of control. I don't know if I can end it or how to end it."

    Sister Patterson

    It's never too late. Every day is a new chance. A new beginning. He will forgive you. And once you stand up and do the right thing, everyone else will follow your lead. Your step mother is in jail because of you. She's a pillar of the Salem community, isn't she? How does that make you feel?"

    Hope

    "Oh Lord, yes . . . my guilt came back to haunt me when I read that...it really did. I shouldn't have gotten her into this. I'm not a bad person, I'm really not. Bo doesn't seem to understand that. I thought he would at one time, but I am so afraid that he despises me because of all of this."

    Sister Patterson

    "Talk to him. Let him know what's in your heart and on your mind. You two have been through a lot. You can get through this. Your love has stood the test of time. I would give anything to have a love like that."

    Sister Pat wipes a tear and turns away from Hope.

    Then, she suddenly pulls her bible out and presses it against Hope's forehead and begins to jerk her head back.

    Sister Patterson

    "In the name of Jesus, Amen."

    Sister Pat puts her bible away.

    Sister Patterson

    "Now get out of Pasadena. You belong in Salem. And when you get there, tell Celeste that I said hello. We go way back."

    Sister Pat leaves the church.







    TC Hotel,

    Ty' Office

    Ty and Karl look at Dre in bewilderment.

    Dre

    "My bad, didn't mean to interrupt."

    Karl

    "Son, you really need to get a new front desk attendant since Miss Jodie is dying."

    Ty

    "Get out!"

    Karl laughs and walks out the office.

    Ty

    "Dondre, what can I do for you? It's odd seeing you here."

    Dondre

    "I'm looking for work."

    Ty

    "I didn't know you had receptionist skills."

    Dre

    "That's not what I am taking about. I'm looking for some work. The same work Daniel and Santino do for you on the streets."

    Ty

    "What makes you think I am involved in street life?"

    Dre

    "Nobody's stupid here man. I need money. I need some work. I can push whatever you give me."

    Ty looks into Dondre's eyes and remains silent for a few moments. He takes a deep breath, looks out of his window overlooking the pond and thinks about Dre's offer. He wonders whether he can trust Dre, whether he can risk another new person involved in his double dealings. But at the same time, he recognizes that he needs an extra set of hands to do work in the streets since Daniel is no longer willing. One more person in the know. Tyler then walks over to his desk, opens a drawer and pulls out a wad of cash and throws it on the desk in front of Dre. He then walks over to the window.

    Dre

    "What is this?"

    Ty

    "It's for your first assignment."

    Dre counts out the wad of Ben Franks

    "Bet, tell me what's good?"

    Ty

    "Lauren and Jennifer are a problem for me right now."

    Dre

    "Yo girl?"

    Ty

    "No questions. Let's get that straight now. I pay you, you do what I say, that's the end of it. If you can't adhere to those rules, walk out now. You can keep the money either way."

    Dre

    "Chill out man. It's all good. Just tell me what you want me to do?"

    Ty

    "I think Santino and Jenn have something going on. I want you to keep tabs on her. Lauren has convinced Daniel to turn his back on me. She has to be taken out."

    Ty pulls out a gun from his holster and lays it on the desk.

    Dre

    "Kill Lauren?"

    Ty

    "Yes."







    Meanwhile, on Lavender Hill,

    Ty's Mansion

    The door bell rings. Jenn opens it and sees Lauren and Daniel.

    Jenn

    "Well, this is an unexpected surprise."

    Lauren

    "After watching the fashion show, I had to come see you. Is it OK if we come in?"

    Jenn

    "Sure . . . yes, of course."

    Daniel (walking in)

    "Is Tyler here?"

    Jenn

    "We're lucky, he's at the Hotel."

    Lauren

    "We are lucky? What does that mean?"

    Jenn

    "Nothing."

    Jenn hugs Lauren

    Jenn

    It's good too see you again."

    Lauren doesn't return the hug. The three of them stayed silent until Lauren decided to speak.

    Lauren

    "I'm just going to come right out and ask . . . Jennifer, why did you blackmail Jodie about her HIV status? That's the most despicable thing I can imagine anyone doing to someone else."

    Jenn

    "Oh good Lord! If you're here to preach, leave now. I did what I did and I am not sorry. I hate that diseased bitch. "

    Daniel

    "Sounds like you're the one who has become a bitch. What has gotten into you?"

    Lauren

    "Tyler will do that to a person."

    Jenn

    "Get the hell out of my house."

    Lauren

    "Don't you mean Tyler's house."

    Jenn

    "You're nothing but drunken slut. I don't need you Lauren. Rot in hell for all I care. I'm sorry that I wasted my time calling you my best friend. Now you've got your crackhead boyfriend back from the dead and you want to act like you better than everyone else. Who in the hell do you think you are? I'm living the good life. I want and need for nothing."

    Daniel

    "Don't talk to her like that."

    Jenn

    "Hey crackhead, can you do me a favor and please die again? Now get out of here before I call the guards."

    Suddenly Lauren faints into Daniel's arms.







    Back in Downtown Pasadena

    Ivory Inc.

    Karim walks off the elevator and sees his uncle flirting with his secretary Ladonna.

    Karim walks up to DC, turns him around and socks him in the jaw. Ladonna is stunned.

    Ladonna

    "I am so sorry Mr. Williams."

    DC

    "Boy what the hell you smoking? You lost your damn mind."

    Karim pushes DC into his office.

    DC

    "Talk your hands off me. Can't you see I'm an old man? Boy, I can still drop kick you."

    Karim

    "I know about your affair."

    DC

    "What you talking about?"

    Karim

    "Your brother's wife. My mom. You're sleeping with her. Why? How can you do this to you own brother?"

    DC

    "Your brother told you, didn't he?"

    Karim

    "You parade in here wanting a job and a cologne named after you. You're a selfish bastard who care about no one but yourself."

    DC

    "There's a lot you don't know boy. Two sides to every story. You were just a youngin' back then."

    Karim

    "Youngin? How long has this been going on?"

    DC

    "It's not like that. Go home and talk to your mother. She should be the one who tells you."

    Karim

    "Tell me what?"

    DC

    "It's not my place to get into it."

    Karim

    "Then maybe I can talk about it with my pops."

    Karim storms out of DC's office

    DC calls out to him

    "Come back here boy! You're going to give your father a stroke. Don't do something stupid! I'll knock the hell outta you."



    ***WARNING: The Following scene has EXTREMELY STRONG SEXUAL CONTENT!!!*****

    The sun has set in Pasadena.

    West Wood Park,

    Mark' House

    Mark crack opens his 5th can of MGD. He hears a knock and stumbles toward the door to answer.

    Rufus

    "Hey lover."

    Mark

    "Where's your dress and heels? You're going for the man look today?"

    Rufus

    "I did it for you baby. I remember whenever I'd dress like a man, you liked it."

    Rufus comes in and sees the beer cans scattered on the floor.

    Rufus

    "I am so sorry for you loss."

    Rufus and Mark wrap their arms around each other. Rufus moves his hand down Mark's body. He stops at Mark's crotch and begins to rub it. Mark closes his eyes and moans.

    Rufus (whispers in Mark's ear)

    "Can I taste it?"

    He bites down on Mark's ear. The moans continue. Mark loses his balance and falls onto the couch. Mark can't remember how many beer he's had. He doesn't want to remember anything. All he wants at that moment is to keep drinking and get some cheap thrills, which he knows Rufus will be more than willing to supply. Mark unzips his pants and signals to Rufus to get a taste of what he's craving.

    Rufus kneels down and pulls Mark's d!ck out of his boxers. Mark's toes curl as Rufus teases him by slowly surrounding it with his mouth. Mark pours his beer over his dick and Rufus's mouth. Mark's body shivers from the cold beer running down his balls and moans once again. Rufus licks up the beer from his penis.

    The door opens and startles Rufus. He looks up and sees Dahlia. A drunk Mark seems unaware. His eyes remain closed and with his back arched, his head thrown back, he grabs Rufus's head and guides him to his love pole.

    Dahlia (stunned by seeing her ex lover with Rufus)

    "My God. Mark, you're a faggot!"


  19. aMLCproduction
    Huntington Memorial Hospital

    Ria sits next to Natalia's hospital bed, holding her motionless hand.

    Ria

    "I'm so sorry girl. I never meant to hurt you. You're like my sister . . my white sister . . . I love you. Please, wake up."

    Jodie and Mike walk into the room.

    Jodie

    "How is she?"

    Ria

    "She hasn't opened her eyes since the surgery."

    Jodie

    "What about the baby?"

    Ria (tears rolling down her face)

    "She lost it. Diego couldn't save the baby."

    Jodie

    "Oh my God. Who would do this to her? Who would shoot a pregnant woman?"

    Mike

    "Natalia has a lot of enemies."

    Ria

    "That's still doesn't give anyone the right to shoot her."

    Ria (walks up to Jodie and hugs her)

    "I am so sorry getting involved with Jennifer. I had no idea what you were dealing with. I know it's too late, but I never meant to help Jennifer in this war with you. I didn't know it was that deep. Girl, if I could change the hands of time, I would."

    Jodie

    "Apology accepted. We all make mistakes. I guess what's important is that we learn from them. I've certainly learned from mine."

    Ria

    "I have say this . . . I've got to give you props for telling everyone about your HIV status. It takes a real woman to tell the truth. You've got more guts than anyone I know. And you nipped your war with Jenn in the bud . . . congratulations. I had no clue that she could be so mean. Blackmailing another person about her HIV status is a cryin' shame."

    Jodie

    "Thank you Ria, thank you for your kind words and support. I really appreciate it."

    Ria (looks at Mike)

    "You've got a good man here. I don't know many other men would stand by their woman in a situation like this one. I am curious though, you ain't knocking boots, are ya'?"

    Mike

    "What . . . where do you get off? That's private."

    Ria

    "Uh huh."

    Natalia begins to move and her eyes slowly open.

    Natalia

    "My baby . . . how is my baby?"

    Jodie and Ria look at each other. Neither wants to break the news that the child that was growing inside of Natalia is no more.





    Episode 89, Where's the Polygrip?

    Written by: ML Cooks with Miou Slater





    In the waiting area of the Hospital. Diego is talking with Mark

    "I'm sorry but the baby didn't make it. Now if you will excuse me, I have some things to do."

    Mark feels like he has been hit by a truck. He is unable to muster the strength at the news of his first born child is dead. Mark takes a few steps back and then turns around only to bump into Dahlia.

    Mark

    "Dahlia?"

    Dahlia

    "Yes, it' me."

    Mark

    "This can't be happening. This is a dream." Mark closes his eyes and slaps himself. He reopens his eyes to see that Dahlia still stands in front of him.

    Dahlia walks up to Mark and delivers a slap across his face.

    Dahlia

    "Bet that felt real. You're not dreaming. I am here and alive."

    Mark

    "I thought you died in the trash compactor at the Stink SO Good Waste Management Site?"

    Dahlia

    "No such luck. I was rescued."

    Mark

    "Rescued? Where have you been all this time?"

    Dahlia

    "Right here in Pasadena."

    Mark

    "This whole time you've been here? What in the hell is going on? Why did you make me believe that you were dead?"

    Dahlia

    "I found out about your one night with Natalia and about the baby of yours she was carrying, up until she got shot."

    Mark

    "How do you know all of this? Why did you hide from me? Do you know how crazy things have been without you in my life? I don't understand."

    Dahlia

    "Well your baby's mother paid Suga to stab me while I was in jail. I can't have children because of her. And now she won't be able to have kids either!"

    Mark

    "So this is your revenge? This is why you're back? You're the one who shot Natalia? You killed my unborn child!"





    Walking the Streets of Pasadena

    Hope and Suga walk past the Rose Bowl Stadium.

    Hope

    "I watch the Rose Bowl parade every year. It's so beautiful."

    Suga

    "It can be."

    Hope

    "Where are we going?"

    Suga

    "I really don't know with Natalia being shot. That bitch doesn't have my money."

    Hope

    "I can't believe it. My first day in Pasadena and I see someone get shot."

    Suga

    "She had it coming to her."

    Hope

    "Who was that woman, Dahlia?"

    Suga

    "Someone I thought was dead."

    Hope

    "Is she the one you stabbed for Natalia?"

    Suga

    "Something like that."

    Hope

    "I hope she don't turn us in to the police."

    Suga

    "They won't find us."

    Hope

    "Can I ask you something?" Hope stops and Suga stops along with her.

    Suga

    "What's on your mind ma?"

    Hope

    "I didn't see you for awhile at the Fashion Show. "

    Suga

    "Yeah, so?"

    Hope

    "After Natalia was shot, you reappeared. I used to be a cop."

    Suga

    "Wow, an ex cop murdering people and smoking crack. I have seen it all."

    Hope

    "You held Dahlia at gun point. You have a gun. Did you shoot Natalia?"





    Pasadena City Jail

    Rufus walks up to Alexis's jail cell.

    Rufus

    "Girlfriend, I've got good news for you!"

    Alexis

    "About Natalia's shooting. I already know."

    Rufus

    "Even behind bars, word does travel fast."

    Alexis freezes as she remembers that her sister Ashley is the first one who broke the news to her about Natalia's shooting.

    Alexis

    "We get the news in here. Hold on . . . you don't like Natalia. Did you shoot that bitch?"

    Rufus

    "Does that really matter? That bitch is about to die. I can have my man in peace and you can have your company back. It's practically ruined now thanks to Jennifer and Jodie. "

    Alexis

    "You're a killer. I can't believe you shot her! She's pregnant!"

    Rufus

    "Natalia is your best friend now? Where did all this compassion come from? So what if she is pregnant? She had it coming to her."

    Alexis

    "That's besides the point. Sure, I've never liked her but that is no reason to wish her dead. What about the baby she's carrying?"

    Rufus

    "I am done talking about Natalia. Who cares who shot her? She's out of our lives. We got what we wanted. You should be happy. "

    Alexis

    "This gets worse and worse. Divine Design won't recover. Jodie has AIDS, Natalia gets shot at the fashion show and now Ash…" She stops, catching herself before she says the name Ashley.

    Rufus

    "Ash? What does that mean?"

    Alexis

    "Never mind. I need to be alone. Come back tomorrow."

    Rufus

    "You want to be alone while you're sitting behind bars? When I was in jail, I was always glad to have visitors. But what ever flies your hair back."

    Rufus walks off.

    Alexis lies down on her cot.

    Alexis (thinking to herself)

    "I have to tell Ashley that Rufus shot Natalia. Or did she? Maybe it was Ashley? She's crazy enough. Is my sister capable of murder? This is a nightmare."





    The Williams House

    Sister Patterson walks back into her house after coming from the house across the street.

    Karim

    "Ma, what's going on here?"

    Sister Pat jumps up. Seeing her son startles her.

    Sister Pat

    "Are you trying to give me a stroke?"

    Karim

    "What's with the ski mask? Why are you dressed like that?"

    Sister Pat (realizing she is dressed like she's about to rob a bank)

    "Don't you dare question me in my own house. I do the questioning here. Starting with you Kevin."

    She walks over to her eldest son.

    Sister Pat

    "I want you out of this house now. No son of mine disrespects me by talking to me like you did. Telling Miss Jenkins to kiss your black ass. Don't know one talk about Miss Jenkins."

    Sister Pat (slaps Kevin)

    "You didn't block me that time. Simple Bastard."

    Karim

    "Ma you need to relax!"

    Sister Pat

    "I beg your pardon? Kevin has turned you against me too?"

    Karim

    "I want some answers."

    Pat

    "And I told you, don't question me."

    Kevin

    "Surprised your third eye didn't tell you I was going to be here."

    Pat

    "You're mocking me now? Get out, now!"

    Karim

    "We're not going anywhere until you tell us the truth! Are you cheating on pops with DC?"

    Sister Pat stays silent. She wipes a tear from her eye and she turns away from her son.

    Sister Pat

    "Lord have mercy . . .I am a disgrace. I betrayed my family. And Miss Jenkins ain't talking to me no more."

    Kevin

    "It never ends. Not only is Pat a home wrecker, she's a lunatic. Miss Jenkins . . . Miss Jenkins . . . Miss Jenkins."

    Sister Pat takes her fancy belt off her pants, which triggers some painful childhood memories in Kevin. He runs out the front door. Sister Patterson chases her son down the street wielding a belt.

    Karim (watching)

    "Unbelievable."

    He gets into his car and drives off.





    Downtown Pasadena

    Jennifer steps outside of the Dentist's office. Santino greets her with Ty's limo.

    Jenn

    "Where is Tyler?"

    Santino

    "He's at the hotel."

    Jenn

    "Thank God."

    Santino

    "So everything's OK in your mouth? Jodie really did a number on you."

    Jenn (getting into the limo)

    "Thanks for rubbing it in. Can we just please go to the mansion?"

    Santino hops into the drivers seat and drives off.

    Santino

    "You know, Ty is pretty heated about what you did."

    Jenn

    "I don't care. As long as the world knows that nasty skank has AIDS, I couldn't care less about what anyone else has to say. She didn't win the war. I did. I just can't believe Mike is with her."

    Santino

    "I can't believe you're with Ty?"

    Jenn (looks at Santino through the rear view mirror)

    "You know, sometimes, I wonder why I am still with him. I really don't know. He doesn't respect me. But maybe now he will. Now that he knows Jodie is off the market for good, he'll give me his undivided attention."

    Santino

    "I could give you that."

    Santino pulls over to the side of the road and hops into the back seat with her.

    Jenn

    "What are you doing?"

    Santino

    "Finishing what we started back in Cleveland."

    Jenn

    "I don't think that's such a great idea."

    Santino (leaning closer and blowing softly in her ear)

    "Why not? "

    Jenn (quivering)

    "There's no telling what Ty would do. He would kill us."

    Santino looks Jenn in the eyes,

    "Kiss me."

    Jenn

    "I can't. Thanks to that AIDS victim, I had to get false teeth and I' not used to them yet."

    Just as she says that, her top denture falls out of her mouth and into Santino's lap. Jenn's face turns red. Santino chuckles, grabs her face and kisses her anyway.





    TC Hotel

    Ty's office

    Karl (walks into his son's office)

    "Where have you been?"

    Ty

    "Why?"

    Karl

    "Son, no need to talk to your father in that tone. I am here to help."

    Ty

    "Help me how? You've have been mooching off me for the last few months."

    Karl

    "Is that what it's called these days? I thought it was called family."

    Ty

    "I can't believe Jennifer is capable of all of this. Now it makes sense why she really went to Cleveland. I had no idea she hated Jodie this much."

    Karl

    "It's even crazier that Jodie and Mike are together. I feel sorry for that man. She might be going to jail."

    Ty

    "I'm sure he already knew. He's an ex cop. She may be sick but I know she is not stupid."

    Karl

    "Aren't you smitten by her?"

    Ty

    "Not any more. I love my life. And to think we almost kissed. "

    Karl

    "There are reporters camped outside the mansion and this hotel thanks to your blonde bimbo. Something has got to be done. She has put you where you don't want to be . . . into the spotlight."

    Ty

    "You're right for once. She has been making trouble for a while. She's bringing too much heat on my operations."

    Karl

    "Jenn has to go. The sooner the better. I can silence her tonight."

    Ty

    "No . . . no, I'll take care of her myself. Once and for all."

    Dondre walks into Tyler's office. Karl and Ty look at each other, bewildered.



    Back at Huntington Memorial

    Natalia's room,

    Natalia looks around in her room. She sees Ria, Mike and Jodie.

    Natalia

    "Where am I?"

    Ria sits down next to her

    "You just got out of surgery girl. How do you feel?"

    Natalia (looking down at her stomach)

    "I remember the show. Then I heard a gunshot . . . the bullet hit me, didn't it. Someone shot me."

    She looks at Ria.

    Natalia

    "My baby. Just tell me my baby is OK."

    Ria squeezes Natalia's hand. Her eyes fill up with tears

    Ria

    "Honey, the baby didn't make it. I'm so sorry. You lost the baby."

    Natalia screams. The entire emergency room comes to a standstill.







    Somewhere, in an undisclosed location in Pasadena

    Ashley is singing

    "Hush little baby don't say a word, momma's gonna buy you a mocking bird."

    Ashley steps around a cubicle. Inside is a baby hooked up to medical monitoring devices.

    "Little one, your daddy and I will soon be a family. We're waiting for that big wedding to crash. We will be the talk of the town. Sabryn won't know what hit her. Bryan will finally be mine."


  20. aMLCproduction
    Divine Design

    Natalia lies on the runway unresponsive. Paramedics and Police Chief Abe Williams arrive on the scene to assess the situation.

    Abe (making an announcement to everyone in attendance)

    “This is now the site of an official crime scene investigation. No one leaves this building.”



    Sabryn, Bryan, Rufus try to keep their cool.



    Ashley ducks into a corner as the police chief begins to question the witnesses.

    Ashley (whispering to herself)

    “How in the hell do I get out of here? I can’t be exposed.” She sees a back exit the police seem to have missed and tip-toes toward the door. Ashley opens the door quietly and leaves.







    By the entrance

    Suga

    “Dahlia?”

    Dahlia

    “Ah . . . you remember me.”

    Suga

    “Nice seeing you. Me and my lady need to be going.”

    Dahlia (looking at Hope)

    “So you’re in on this?”

    Hope

    “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I have nothing to do with this.”

    Suga

    “Move out of my way Dahlia.”

    Hope

    “Let’s go! Why are we just standing here?” (She glares at Dahlia) “You heard Suga . . . move!”

    Dahlia (smiling)

    “Did you hear the chief? You’re not going anywhere. Hmmm . . . I have a hunch he’s going to make an arrest, right here, probably in a few minutes. Someone is going to jail. Oh, let me correct myself, a few people are going to jail. Am I right?”

    Hope

    “Jesus, this is not happening. Suga, for Christ’s sake, do something!”

    Suga rams a gun into Dahlia’s stomach, in the same spot where Dahlia was stabbed.

    Suga

    “Bitch, ain’t no one going to jail. Don’t fu(k with me. You saw what happened to your girl. Turn that ass around and get to stepping.”



    Episode 88: Who did it?

    Written by: ML Cooks, with Miou Slater



    As night falls in Pasadena

    Sister Patterson knocks on the door of the darkened house that sits across the street from hers.

    Sister Patterson

    “I hope I don’t have to hear Miss Jenkins say anything about Don or Kevin.”

    The door opens and Sister Pat enters darkened house.







    Meanwhile, back downtown

    Ivory Inc.

    Kevin walks into the testing lab where he finds his brother Karim.

    Karim

    “It’s late Kev, what are you doing here? Any leads on where Sharan is?”

    Kevin

    “No. I got side tracked.” Kevin sits down.

    Karim puts down the test tube. He notices that something is not right with his older brother.

    Karim

    “You look like your dog died. What’s going on? Is it Lauren?”

    Kevin

    “It’s everything. Everything seems to be spinning out of control.”

    Karim

    “Talk to me bro. You haven’t been yourself for weeks.”

    Kevin

    “Dondre over heard Lauren and I talking about our one night stand.”

    Karim

    “Damn. He’s the last person who needed to hear about this. I guess the secret is out now.”

    Kevin

    “He keeping his mouth shut for the moment. But he knows something else.”

    Karim

    “What do you mean?”

    Kevin, pauses and then buries his face in his hands.

    “I don’t even know how to say this.”

    Karim

    “Say it. This is me you’re talking to.”

    Kevin

    “Momma is cheating on pops with DC.”

    Karim

    “What?! You can’t be serious . . . Ria, now Momma?”

    Kevin

    “I walked in on them kissing at the house.”

    Karim

    “Dondre knows this?”

    Kevin

    “Yes.”

    Karim

    “I can’t believe it.” He shakes his head and sits down. “How could Momma do something like this. How long has this been going on?”

    Kevin

    “I have no idea. I’m guessing for awhile.”

    Karim

    “She’s always talking about God. Always preaching to everyone about how they should do the right thing. And she’s cheating on pops with his own brother. Damn, I guess we really don’t know our mom, huh Kev?”

    Kevin

    “She’s a hypocrite!”

    Karim

    “She’s going to have to tell me herself. I’m going over there now.” Karim then leaves and Kevin follows.







    Mona Island

    Mona leaves Sharan in the Mary garden and walks over to the beach. Sharan soon follows.

    Sharan

    “Do you really mean it? You want to go back to Pasadena?”

    Mona, enjoying her high, looks out onto the ocean.

    Mona

    “Yes. It’s time to deal with this. I want to meet my mother. I’ve been dreaming about this all of my life, wondering how it would be.”

    Sharan

    “I think it will change your life, and hers. You’ll be meeting the woman who gave you life. Sister Pat deserves to know that you’re alive. At least she’ll know that Abe is the one who took you from her and made your life a living hell. It’s time to make Abe pay for his sins, for every nasty thing he’s done to you. This madness has to stop so that you can live a normal life. And not only that, you have two brothers to get to know . . . Kevin and Karim.”

    Sharan wraps her arms around Mona.

    Mona (looking at Sharan)

    “This is overwhelming. Can I count on you to stand by me?”

    Sharan

    “You know I will. I care about you. I think I’m falling for you.”

    Sharan leans in and kisses her softly on the lips.

    Mona

    “I am tired of living like this. You really want me to meet her, don’t you?”

    Sharan

    “This is not about what I want you to do. Do it for yourself. Close this chapter and move on with your life. If we’re going to be together, we can’t have this hovering over our heads. I want us to start with a clean slate. It’s time face reality and move forward.”

    Mona

    “Do you have any idea have much I love you? You’ve opened my eyes to things I never noticed before. I’ve been so hell bent on revenge against that bastard Abe that I forgot about my mother. Can I ask you something? Why do you call her Sister Patterson?”

    Sharan (chuckles)

    “That’s just who she is, Sister Patterson. Words do not do your mother justice. When you meet her, you’ll fully understand what I’m talking about, why the name fits her like a glove.”

    Mona (changing the subject and catching Sharan off guard)

    “Do you miss my brother??”

    Sharan, not expecting a question, tries to keep her cool, not wanting Mona to suspect anything

    Sharan

    “I think of Kevin at times.”

    Mona

    “Don’t you find it ironic that you once loved my brother and that I took you from him literally? Do you think he’s going to accept us?”

    Sharan

    “He’ll just have to understand.”

    Mona, turning away from her

    “I’m not sure that going back is such a good idea. I don’t want any problems with Kevin. I could not handle someone trying to take you away from me.” Mona turns back around to look at her in the eyes.

    “I will go mad if I lose you Sharan. Besides my Aunt Mary, you’re the only one keeping me sane.”

    Sharan, trying to convince the mad woman she is genuinely falling in love with her decides to take desperate measures to ensure her return to Pasadena. She walks up to Mona and holds her. Mona wraps her arms around Sharan as well. They hold each other and close there eye and listen to the waves crash upon the beach.

    Sharan

    “I love you Mona.”

    Mona

    “I love you too. I’m ready to go back. With you by my side, I know I will get through it.”

    Sharan

    “That makes me happy. Abe’s has to pay. Now here’s the a question for you . . . how on earth are we going to get back to Pasadena?”







    In the Show Room of Divine Design,

    Abe’s CSI team begins gathering evidence while he conducts the witness interviews. He looks around the room and decides to start with Natalia’s enemies. Abe walks over to Sabryn.

    Abe

    “You and Natalia . . .there’s no love lost between you two, am I correct?

    Sabryn

    “That’s not a secret. Just what is it that you are implying?”

    Abe

    “You’re a smart woman. You know exactly what I’m saying.”

    Sabryn

    “Did I kill Natalia? No. Have you seen my belly. I’m pregnant.”

    Abe

    “Pregnant people can pull a trigger just as easily as anyone else.”

    Bryan (walks up to Abe and Sabryn)

    “Chief, stop harassing my fiancée. She’s tired. And this is not good for the baby. Are we free to go? We have a wedding to plan.”

    Abe

    “You two didn’t see anything?”

    Bryan

    “There’s one thing I do remember now that I think about it. Rufus was acting very suspicious.”

    Sabryn

    “Rufus?”

    Bryan, quickly thinking

    “The tranny who walked into Alexis’s trial.”

    Abe

    “You two can go. Thank you.”

    Abe sees Rufus and walks over to her.

    Rufus

    “Tired of that crazy bat you call a wife? I’m always available officer.”

    Abe

    “Cut the crap. This is official police business. I am going to ask you this once, did you shoot Natalia?”







    Suga, Hope and Dahlia sneak out the back entrance and stand outside. Suga puts her gun away, grabs Hope’s hand and takes off running.

    Dahlia

    “Go ahead and run. You won’t be able to hide forever. Your ally Natalia is clinging to life. She’ll be lucky if she makes it.” She smiles and then decides to go to the hospital to see her one time love, Mark.







    Pasadena City Jail

    Ashley, decked out in her red attire, walks toward her sister’s cell.

    Alexis

    “Get me out of here! What is wrong with you?”

    Ashley

    “Lexie, calm down. Everything is OK now.”

    Alexis

    “What does that mean?”

    Ashley (smiling)

    “Natalia is not a threat anymore. She was shot tonight. Doesn’t look good.”

    Alexis

    “What in God’s name did you do Ashley? Did you shoot Natalia?”







    Huntington Memorial hospital.

    Mark rushes in to the E.R. and heads over to the nurse station.

    Mark

    “Natalia Cigluti? Where is she? She was shot!?”

    Dr. Diego Serrano walks up behind him.

    Dr. Serrano

    “Mark?”

    Mark

    “How’s my baby?”

    Dr. Serrano

    “We could not save the baby, the baby is dead. . .”


  21. aMLCproduction
    Pasadena City Jail

    Alexis (looking at her "dead" sister)

    "Ash, is that you?"

    Ashley

    "Yes Lexie, it's me."

    Alexis, with tears in her eyes, reaches her hands through the bars and touches her sister.

    Alexis

    "Oh my God. I can't believe you're here. I . . .I thought you were dead."

    Ashley

    "I know. I'm sorry. After Bryan and Sabryn ran me over, I had to leave. My face and body were completely disfigured."

    Alexis

    "I can't believe this . . . I am so happy . . . you're alive! Where have you been?"

    Ashley

    "Listen, we don't have time right now. Natalia slept with Bryan. The baby she's carrying might be his."

    Alexis

    "That dirty ass bitch. I knew he was hiding something."

    Ashley

    "Sabryn and Bryan are about to get married."

    Alexis

    "How do you know all this?"

    Ashley

    "I've been lurking around town for awhile now."

    Alexis

    "What? Awhile? Do you know that it's because of your death that I'm in jail?"

    Ashley

    "I know all of that."

    Alexis

    "You do? Well, why don't you get me out of here . . . now! Natalia and her bad breath are running Divine Design into the ground. I know you're not going to let me sit in jail like this, are you?"

    Ashley

    "Trust me Lexie, I'm working on it. I can't reveal myself just yet. I'm waiting for the right moment."

    Alexis

    "What are you waiting for? I've got to get out of here."

    Ashley

    "Sis please, wait a little longer. Believe me, I have a master plan. I'm going to strike at my enemies and Natalia is first. She is going to pay for sleeping with my man."

    Alexis

    "Ash please, this obsession you have with Bryan is not healthy. It wasn't so obvious to me until now. You're letting your feud with Sabryn and Natalia ruin your life. Ash, you've taken things too far. There's no turning back now."

    Ashley

    "These bitches are going to pay tonight, starting with Natalia!"

    Ashley turns around and begins to walk away.

    Alexis

    "Where are you going? Get me out of here!"

    Ashley leaves.

    Alexis

    "My sister is crazy. Good Lord, what is she up to?"







    Episode: 87, Exposed!

    Written by: ML Cooks and Ian Hadley with Miou Slater



    In the back seat of Rufus's tooter booter, Hope Williams Brady and Suga look at each other. As Rufus drives, he looks in his rear view mirror and see Hope and Suga looking at each other.

    Feeling obligated, he/she starts to explain.

    Rufus

    "I'm so sorry for not having a front seat. I have some money on the way but that it won't be here until tonight. So I couldn't afford anything fancy for our little trip out of Salem."

    Hope

    "It doesn't matter. I just need to get as far away from Salem as I can."

    Suga

    "It's all good. No one will find you in Pasadena. I can keep you low. My girl owes me some money."

    Rufus

    "You got that right. Natalia, the big fashion mogul, has tons of money."

    Suga

    "Good, I'll be taking all of it."

    Hope

    "I need a drink."

    Suga

    "I need drugs."

    Rufus's car stalls.

    Rufus

    "Damn it to hell"

    Rufus pulls over to the side of the road.

    Hope

    "What's happening?"

    Rufus, tries to restart the engine. Smoke begins to rise from under the hood.

    Rufus

    "My bucket is dead. We're going to have to walk the rest of the way to Pasadena."

    Hope

    "I don't want to be seen. How far is it?"

    Rufus

    "What are you running from?"

    Hope flashes back in her home town of Salem. Her husband, the police officer, walks in on her smoking crack. Then she remembers her confession to committing a murder.

    Hope

    "I'm not running from anything. I just need a vacation."

    Suga

    "No more questions. Let's start walking. It's time to get paid and get high."

    Hope looks at Rufus. They all begin to walk the rest of the way to Pasadena.







    Divine Design

    Bryan walks into Natalia's office.

    Natalia

    "What a wonderful surprise. What brings you by? Does Sabryn know you're here?"

    Bryan

    "I'm tried of all the blackmail, all the bullsh!t. "

    Natalia

    "What do you mean?"

    Bryan

    "That tranny Rufus."

    Natalia

    "You're not the only one it is blackmailing."

    Bryan

    "None of this would be happening if you would not have taken advantage of me while I was drunk. Then you decide to steal the security camera footage of our little escapade. Honestly, who does that?"

    Natalia

    "Sabryn's enemy would."

    Bryan

    "That's childish."

    Natalia

    "You're one to talk. Didn't you cheat on Sabryn with Ashley?"

    Bryan

    "Does Mark know we slept together? Maybe I should tell him?"

    Natalia

    "Be my guest. I'll be delighted to tell that bitch Sabryn I slept with her man."

    Bryan

    "That's it. I am putting a stop to this. No more blackmail." He starts to leave her office.

    Natalia (hollering after him)

    "Don't do anything stupid!"

    Bryan (turning around and smirking)

    "Watch me."

    He leaves the office and slams the door behind him. Jodie walks into the office after he leaves.

    Jodie

    "Everything OK?"

    Natalia

    "Nothing I can't handle. Ready for the fashion show?"

    Jodie

    "Yes, I am. Nothing will go wrong this time, I promise. Not from Jenn or anybody."

    Natalia

    "I am glad to hear it." She hugs Jodie. "I can't afford another disaster. This fashion show has to be a success. Alexis is trying to oust me from this company. And I will not let that fag work beside me. To top it off, Sabryn is launching some grand wedding line to coincide with her wedding in a few weeks. Divine Design has to maintain it's lead over SG."

    Jodie

    "Everything is going to be fine. Thank you for giving me another chance. I'm going to go get ready."

    As Jodie leaves, Suga walks into Natalia's office.

    Natalia

    "What in the hell are you doing here?"

    Suga

    "Long time no see. You're having a baby. Congrats."

    Natalia

    "Cut the crap. You're not supposed to be in Pasadena. We had a deal."

    Suga

    "Things change. I'm broke. I need some more chips. And you're doing big things now."

    Natalia

    "So you're going to keep asking me for more money? I don't think so."

    Suga

    "Would you like Mark to find out you paid me to stab Dahlia?"

    Natalia

    "It doesn't matter now. She's dead."

    Suga

    "Give me my money or you'll be sorry. You have until the fashion show is over."

    Suga walks out.

    Natalia sits down, takes a deep breath and rubs her belly. She begins to speak to the unborn child inside her.

    Natalia

    "People underestimate your mommy. They're trying to bring me down. But guess what little one, I've got a surprise for all of them."

    Natalia stops speaking as Ria walks in.







    In the dressing rooms.

    Jodie looks at her reflection in the mirror as she applies her lipstick. Jenn walks up and blocks Jodie's view.

    Jodie

    "Deja vu?"

    Jenn

    "Hello to you to Jo Ho."

    Jodie

    "Not again. Get the hell out bitch!"

    Jenn

    "I've got three letters for you."

    Jodie

    "Take your crazy talk elsewhere. Not interested."

    Jenn (whispers into Jodie's ear)

    "HIV."

    Jenn smiles at Jodie. As Jodie's heart begins to beat faster, the sweat begins to drip down her forehead. She sits still while every part inside of her vibrates in fear as she processed that her secret was now in the hands of her arch rival.

    Jodie

    "Who told you? How did you find out?"

    Jenn

    "The old fashioned way . . . eavesdropping. I heard the conversation you had with Diego at the hospital. I can't believe Mike has saddled himself with damaged goods."

    Jodie (wiping a tear from her face)

    "Why . . . why are you doing this to me? Can't you just leave me alone. I'm trying to live my life. I've done nothing to you!"

    Jenn

    "Honestly, I don't like you. You're a skank. Still, I gotta tell you, I never imagined anything like this before I found out. I always knew from the first time I saw you straddling Mike that something wasn't right with you, but I just couldn't put my finger on it."

    Jodie

    "Sounds like you're insecure because your ex loves me and your current man wants me too."

    Jenn

    "Are you listening to yourself? Please! Once Ty knows the truth, he won't want anything to do with you."

    Jodie

    "What do you want from me?"

    Jenn

    "Pack your bags and get the hell out of Pasadena. Oh . . . and never come back."

    Jodie

    "What about Mike?"

    Jenn

    "My point exactly. Leave Mike."

    Jodie

    "You can't do this!"

    Jenn

    "You did this to yourself! Maybe you should have thought twice before becoming a trick walking the track. I wonder how many other people you've given it to, you nasty-assed skank."

    Jodie

    "You don't know anything about me or about my life."

    Jenn

    "I know enough. Be sure to send me a postcard."

    Jodie

    "When Natalia finds out that you ruined her second fashion show, she's going to destroy you."

    Jenn

    "I'm not worried. She'll never find out. OK, enough of this. It's time for you to leave, right now. Get packing and get out!"

    Jodie

    "You think you're going to get away with this? You're not. You're going to pay, big time for this sh!t!"

    Jenn

    "Ta Ta trash. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. I hear some of the hotels will even leave the light on for you

    "

    Jodie wipes the tears from her eyes as she walks out the door.

    Back upstairs, Natalia's office.

    Ria

    "So, I am not in the fashion show?"

    Natalia

    "You know you're wasting your time coming here."

    Ria

    "Is that how it is? Nat, come on girl. I said I was sorry and I meant it. I didn't mean to mess things up."

    Natalia

    "That's not how it looked to me then or now. Jenn was going after Jodie. Hello? Jodie is your co worker. She's works for me. She's a part of my dream. You're the one who helped Jenn take that away from me. And Ria, that's something I don't think I will ever forgive."

    Ria

    "Oh, Saint Natalia, you've got some nerve."

    Natalia

    "I've never pretended to be a saint. I always thought of you as my sister. And what did you do in return? You betrayed me. Never in a million years would I have ever done anything like that to you."

    Ria

    "You are seriously tripping."

    Natalia

    "In any case, this is something I don't have time for. I have a fashion show to host. Please have some class and leave."

    Ria

    "I must be hearing things. You did not just say that to me!"

    Natalia

    "Should I call security . . . because I'm thinking you didn't hear me the first time."

    Ria

    "Oh bitch please! It's not that serious. Maybe you'll come to your senses when you drop that load. This baby has you talking out the side of your neck."

    Ria storms out of Natalia's office. Natalia grabs a folder and heads for the door when Sabryn walks in.

    Natalia

    "I can't catch a break, can I? What in the hell is this . . . let's-see-if-I-can-get-on-Natalia's-last-nerve-day?"



    In the back alley of Divine Design.

    Hope stands with Suga as she smokes her cigarette.

    Suga (looking at Hope)

    "Are you OK fancy face? You look like you're somewhere else."

    Hope

    "I've got a lot on my mind." She pulls a bottle of rum out from her purse and takes a swig.

    Hope

    "How long are we going to be here?"

    Suga

    "No one is going to find you. Chillax. I'm waiting on some money. We're going to watch the pretty ladies in the fashion show and then a bitch is going to give me my money."

    Hope

    "Bo can't find me."

    Suga

    "I got your back. It's all good. The show is starting. Let's go inside."

    They walk past Jodie in the alley and walk inside. Jenn then walks out.

    Jenn

    "So, what have you decided?"

    Jodie

    "Fu(k this. I'm not backing down." She took a step towards Jenn. "I don't owe you [!@#$%^&*]."

    Jenn

    "I beg to differ. And bitch, you'd better take a step back."

    Jodie takes another step toward Jenn.

    Jenn (her eyes flashing rage)

    "I swear to God…"

    Jodie

    "What? Oh, you don't want to get a drop of my dirty, tainted blood on you, do you? Bitch please."

    Jenn steps back, against her car, her eyes opened wide.

    Jodie

    "Honey, I've made a decision… My life never has been easy. Everyone has been fu(king me over since the day I stepped foot in Pasadena. But you know what? I'm not going anywhere."

    Jenn

    "That's too bad Jodie. Then I guess I'll be delivering the 'show-stopper' at the fashion show."

    Jodie

    "No, actually, you won't." Jodie moves closer to Jenn.

    Jenn

    "Step the fu(k back bitch."

    Jodie

    "You're the bitch whose going to step down. Tell me you'll keep your mouth shut at that show."

    Jenn

    "I already told you what I have planned."

    Jodie (sighing)

    "Well then . . . I was hoping it wouldn't come to this."

    Jenn

    "What?"

    Jodie pulled out a pocket knife out of her purse.

    Jodie

    "You won't be telling anyone anything because I'm leaving with your nasty little venomous tongue."

    Jenn

    "Stay away from me!"

    Jodie stepped closer to Jenn.

    Jodie

    "You fu(king skank! I'm warning you, I won't lose my reputation. You will not ruin my life. Tell me that you'll stop this."

    Jenn

    "What if I don't?"

    Jodie

    "Then you're in for a world of pain."

    Jenn

    "Jodie, come on, put the knife down."

    Jodie

    "You know what? You're right." She threw the knife at the ground. "I wasn't going to slice and dice you. I wanted to see you freak out, to make you pee in your little thong panties. Anyway, this knife is way too nice to use on your ugly face. I thought if you saw the blade, you'd back down. But, I guess not." Jenn screams as she sees Jodie's fist fly into her face. The punch to her nose knocks Jenn to her knees.

    Jodie

    "What did you say honey? Oh, don't worry, you can always just pick another nose out of a catalogue."

    Jodie then slams her knee into Jenn's face. Jenn's head hit the side of the building.

    Jodie

    "Sweetie, there's a lot more where that came from. You've been warned." She turns on her heel and walks toward the back entrance.

    Jenn scrambles to her feet and run towards Jodie. She jumps Jenn and grabs her throat.

    Jodie bucks and thrashes. She tries to throw Jenn off of her back. Jenn tightens her grip as Jodie chokes and sputters. Jodie throws herself and Jenn to the ground. Jenn moans in pain as she hits the pavement. Her hands move from Jodie's neck to her face. She claws at Jodie's cheeks and sticks two fingers in her eyes.

    Jodie

    "You [!@#$%^&*]!" She rolled over in pain. "This face has gotta be in a show in a few minutes."

    Jenn (in a raspy voice)

    "I'll fu(king trash you."

    Jodie

    "Just try it."

    Jodie rolls over and slams her fist back into the Jenn's face. Jenn flails around and claws without direction. Jodie keeps Jenn pinned and continues beating her. Blood gushes from Jenn's nose and lips. A few of Jenn's teeth fly out her mouth as Jodie keeps pounding her.

    Jodie

    "The claws are out now bitch! And mark my words… if you fu(k with my life, I won't hesitate to tear you apart with my bare hands. I'll destroy you, fu(king annihilate you. Do you understand me? I hope that I won't have to kill you. You aren't worth the effort of hiding a body. Honey, your man wants me. Nothing you can do will change that. Open your eyes! You must not be keeping him satisfied. I have HIV for fu(ks sakes and he'd still rather sleep with me. I guess he'd rather risk death by AIDS than death by boredom."

    Jenn shoves her off and gets to her feet. She's bleeding and bruised, breathing heavily,

    Jenn

    "You're fu(king crazy! And everyone's going to know it!"

    Jodie just walks back inside as Jenn wipes blood from her mouth. She see her teeth on the ground and cries.

    Jenn

    "That bitch better not walk down that runway." She walks back inside the building.



    Outside of Natalia's office, Ashley lurks around the corner and listens to her enemies talk.

    Sabryn

    "What makes you think another fashion show is going to do you any good? This company is going under fast."

    Natalia

    "Shut the hell up. Do I come to your office harassing you? Why are you even here? Insecure Sabryn? If you didn't feel threatened by Divine Design, you wouldn't be here talking trash. Who are you trying to fool? Divine Design might be down, but it's not out. Last time I checked, SG was still trailing in sales."

    Natalia starts to walk out.

    Sabryn

    "This fashion show will not happen."

    Natalia

    "Who's going to stop it?"

    Sabryn

    "You'll be surprised" Sabryn turns back and brushes past Natalia.

    Natalia

    "God help anyone who stands in my way."

    Natalia then leaves her office.

    Around the corner, Ashley watches both her enemies leave Natalia's office. Ashley discreetly follows her prey, but she doesn't realize that someone is also following her.

    Rufus enters the show room. She sees Suga across the room standing next to Hope. She then sees Jenn and is shocked by Jenn's scratched up face and her blood stained, messed up hair.

    Jodie walks out on the stage. Natalia is stunned to see the disheveled Jodie. She rushes over to her.

    Natalia

    "What the hell is going on?"

    Jodie

    "I promised you that nothing would ruin this fashion show. I have to do this."

    Jodie grabs a microphone and walks up onto the runaway. The audience gasps as the media snaps photos.

    Natalia

    "Oh my God, not again!" Natalia runs onto the run way and tries to stop Jodie.

    Jodie

    "Nat please. Jenn tried to ruin the fashion show again. Enough is enough."

    Jodie then turns around to the crowd and looks in Jenn's shocked eyes.

    Jodie

    "I just want to say, I apologize to Natalia for everything." She pauses. "You see, I have HIV."

    At first the words are met with stunned silence. After a moment, people begin to chatter.

    Jenn (shaking her head back and forth)

    "What the hell is she doing?"

    Once the audience chatter dies down, Jodie continues.

    Jodie

    "I'm not afraid to admit it. I have made mistakes but I'm still a good person. I wanted to make Natalia proud. Hell, I wanted to make myself proud by proving that I can live a normal life. But you see, sometimes people in my life have other ideas. Natalia, I just want you to know that Jennifer Hammon, that woman right there . . ."

    Jodie points to a red-faced Jenn.

    Jodie

    " . . . she found out that I am HIV positive. She tried to blackmail me with this information. She told me to walk out on this fashion show, just like she did at the last fashion show. She ordered me to leave Mike, the first man who has really loved me. She told me to leave town. And if I didn't do exactly what she said, she promised to expose my secret to everyone at the fashion show, to tell all of you that I am HIV positive. There you have it Jenn? Happy now? The battle is over and I win!"

    Natalia grabs Jodie and hugs her. Natalia picks up the microphone and turns to face media. Suddenly a gunshot rings out and seven-month pregnant Natalia falls to the ground from a shot to her back.

    Sabryn, Rufus, Suga, Ashley and Bryan all smile when they realize Natalia has been shot. Suga grabs Hope and begins to walk out of the Hotel when they bump into a woman. Suga stops in her tracks upon seeing the woman's face.

    Hope

    "What's going on Sugar? You know this woman?"

    Woman

    "I bet you thought you'd never see me again."

    Suga

    "Dahlia?!"……….

    The Williams House

    Kevin answers his cell phone.

    Kevin

    "What's up pops?"

    Abe

    "Where are you? We need to talk."

    Kevin

    "At the house."

    Sister Pat prays that her son doesn't tell his father she's having an affair.

    Abe

    "Can you meet me down at the station?"

    Kevin

    "Sure. Be there in a few."

    Kevin hangs up his cell phone. Sister Pat begins to hug Kevin. He steps back and pushes her away.

    Kevin

    "What do you think you're doing? "

    Pat

    "Alright boy, don't make me slap you."

    Kevin

    "How dare you do this to our family. To Pops? This is so tired."

    DC walks toward Kevin.

    DC

    "Don't blame your mother. It was me who . . ."

    Kevin punches DC in the jaw.

    Pat

    "Kevin! Lord have mercy . . . Miss Jenkins is watching us."

    Kevin

    "Miss Jenkins can shove it!"

    Sister Pat tries to slap her son. Kevin grabs her hand.

    Pat

    "Boy . . . you'd better let me go. What's gotten into you? Are you smoking that stuff? Don't no one talk about Miss Jenkins!'

    Kevin

    "I have no respect for you. You go around town preaching to everyone about their lives and yet you stand here, in the home I grew up in, and kiss Don."

    Kevin looks at his uncle who is rubbing his jaw

    Kevin

    "How could you do this to your own brother?"

    DC

    "There's a lot you don't know boy."

    Kevin

    "I'm not the one you need to be explaining things to."

    Pat

    "Don't you ever talk to me like that. I am your mother. I raised you better. Act like you got some home training."

    A tear forms in Kevin's eye.

    Kevin

    "I don't even know who you are."

    Pat tries slapping Kevin again. He blocks it.

    Pat

    "I am your mother and don't you ever forget that . . ."

    Kevin

    "Go to hell!"

    Sister Pat's jaw drops as Kevin walks out the door.

    Pat

    "Kevin! Get back here right now!"

    Kevin speeds off. Pat closes her door.

    Pat

    "Lord . . . Miss Jenkins will have a heart attack."

    Her breathing gets faster.

    "My son knows. He knows my sin. He has disowned me."

    Sister Pat faints.

    Westwood Park

    Natalia's House

    Mark unpacks the last of his boxes. Natalia sits next to him on the bed and wraps him in her arms.

    Natalia

    "I am so glad that you moved in. I'll be able to sleep better at night knowing that the man that I love is lying next to me."

    Mark

    "Don't rub it in . . . I'm sleeping on the couch for now. "

    Natalia

    "Trust me, I will help you learn."

    Mark

    "I bet."

    Natalia

    "Your sarcasm is cute. I love it. Listen, I'm going to run by the office to handle some things. What do you think of shopping for the baby this evening? Might be kinda fun."

    Mark

    "Fine, sure."

    Natalia kisses Mark's cheek, grabs her purse and leaves. She's smiling.

    Rufus watches Natalia drive off. He walks up her house and bangs on the door.

    Mark answers, grabs Rufus and pulls him inside.

    Mark

    "What in the hell are you doing? You can't be here!"

    Rufus

    "I should be asking you the same question."

    Mark

    "I am part of family now. I have a son on the way . . . you know that. I need to be responsible, be a father and take care of this baby."

    Rufus knows the baby may not be Mark's and wants to blurt out the truth. But he decides to keep his trump card for now.

    Rufus

    "Mark, I'm not having this. I love you. We will be together."

    Mark

    "It's time for you to leave town. I don't want anything to do with you."

    Rufus

    "Why? Because I don't have money? When I had millions, you couldn't get enough of me . . . when I had you drowning in Rolexes and fancy cars. But you left me high and dry when the money disappeared. High and dry, just like my parents did, who by the way, cut off my money when I came out about being gay and then told them that I was planning to marry you! You have no idea how much I've suffered in my life because of you. I deserve the love that you owe me."

    Mark

    "Get over it Rufus! Things are different now. I didn't use you for the money. You were just a phase in my life."

    Tears well up in Rufus' eyes. He slaps Mark.

    Rufus

    "I'm not going to sit back and watch you live happily ever after. I promise you Mark, it's not going to happen. I won't let it."

    Rufus leaves. Mark worries for Natalia's and his unborn child's safety.







    Downtown Pasadena

    Divine Design

    Jodie walks into Natalia's office.

    Jodie

    "You wanted to see me?"

    Natalia

    "Yes. I've thought a lot about our conservation yesterday. I've decided to give the fashion show another shot."

    Jodie, smiling

    "Seriously?"

    Natalia

    "Stock is at an all time low. Sabryn is gaining traction in market share. Something has to be done to stop the bleeding. Plus, I think we can get a bigger buzz this time around considering all the drama that took place last time."

    Jodie

    "Nat, I promise, this time nothing will mess it up."

    Natalia

    "You're right, because I will kill you if it does."

    Jodie

    "What about Ria? Will she be in the show?"

    Natalia turns away from Jodie and sits down at her desk

    Natalia

    "No. Betrayal is something I have a hard time dealing with."

    Jodie

    "I am really sorry for everything Nat. I meant no harm. Jennifer has it in for me."

    Natalia

    "Ah, yes . . . Jennifer. She'll find out that she shouldn't mess with me."

    Jodie

    "As much as I love to hear those words, I am out of this drama. I want no part of this rivalry. Damn, you seem to make a lot of enemies."

    Natalia

    "I do. But I've got all them in check. Right now, I'm on top of the world. I have faith in this fashion show coming up. Everything is riding on it. It has to be a success. And if it is, I might be able to boot Alexis right out of her own company."

    Jodie

    "That's my cue to leave. What time should I be here for the fittings?"

    Natalia

    "9 am sharp. Don't leave yet. I want you here for our press conference."

    Jodie

    "What press conference?"

    Natalia

    "The one I called to announce tomorrow's fashion show. People will need time to prepare."

    Natalia opens her office door and the media rushes in. The surprise media attention overwhelms Jodie.







    Lavender Hill,

    Ty' Mansion

    Jenn suntans by the pool. Cucumber slices cover her eyes. She sips on a glass of ice tea. The familiar voice coming from the TV startles her. She sits up.

    Jenn

    "Why must they always interrupt my stories with nonsense?"

    She takes the cucumbers off her eyes and sees Jodie standing behind Natalia at their press conference.

    Natalia

    "Thank you all for coming. Yesterday, Divine Design held a fashion that didn't quite turn out as we had expected. The reason for this conference is to let everyone know that we are redoing the fashion show tomorrow. It will feature all new pieces, some new models and this time folks, the face of Divine Design West Coast, Jodie Keefe will be there wearing the show piece. We look forward to a successful show. Thank you again for coming. Good day."

    Jenn turns the TV off and smiles.

    Jenn

    "Dumb bitch! I guess she didn't learn her lesson the first time. I can't believe she's going to do this again. Oh well, I'll be right there this time with three crucial letters. . . HIV"







    The Blue Note

    Ria turns away from the TV after watching Natalia's press conference. She shakes her head.

    Ria

    "Nat is really done with me. She didn't tell me she was planning another fashion show. She even said new models will be there. But not me. She has kicked me to the curb."

    Ria stares at her drink. She then looks up and sees Dondre getting a table. She grabs her drink and walks over to his table .

    Dre

    "Let me guess, you want some dick?"

    Ria

    "No, not tonight."

    Dre

    "Something must be wrong."

    Ria

    "I need someone to talk to. My life is so out of control right now. I have really made a mess of things."

    Dre

    "You're just now realizing that?"

    Ria

    "Whatever. You helped."

    Dre

    "But it's about you right now. You cheated on Karim. You slept with his uncle. You played your girl Natalia. What do you expect right now?"

    Ria

    "I don't know." She finishes her Long Island Ice Tea.

    Dre

    "I don't know what to tell you."

    Ria

    "Tell me why you love Sharan. What does she have that I don't?"

    Dre

    "You don't want me to answer that."

    Ria

    "I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want an answer."

    Dre

    "Class."

    Ria's jaw drops. For the first time, she has no come back. She gets up, leaves Dondre and exits The Blue Note.

    Dre sits in disbelief as Ria leaves without putting on her usual show.







    Downtown Pasadena

    Divine Design

    Rufus walks in as Natalia makes phone calls and gets last minute details together for the next day's fashion show.

    Natalia hangs her phone up.

    Natalia

    "Can I help you?"

    Rufus

    "No, I don't need it."

    Rufus' voice sounds familiar to Natalia.

    Natalia

    "What in the hell are you doing here?"

    Rufus

    "Taking control of Divine Design."

    Natalia

    "Excuse me?"

    Rufus

    "I am representing Alexis' interest in this company."

    Natalia

    "Alexis is in jail. She can't put some random fag in here to work. I don't know you."

    Rufus

    "Fag? No honey, I am a woman."

    Natalia

    "I'm calling security."

    Rufus

    "I'll wait."

    Rufus sits down

    Natalia stares at Rufus and wonders why his voice sounds familiar. She then remembers a phone conversation between the person who took the sex tape of her and Bryan.

    Natalia

    "It's you! You broke into my house and took my DVD."

    Rufus

    "That would be correct."

    Natalia

    "You said Mark belongs to you."

    Rufus

    "He does."

    Natalia

    "You're a man."

    Rufus

    "Well, technically yes, but I hope to change that."

    Natalia

    "So Mark is gay?"

    Rufus

    "He says bisexual. I say confused."

    Rufus open his legs and shows his dick to Natalia. He's wearing a skirt with no panties.

    Natalia vomits.

    Rufus laughs.







    Pasadena City Jail

    Alexis sees The Lady in Red approaching her cell.

    Alexis

    "Who are you?"

    LiR

    "Natalia and Bryan slept together."

    Alexis

    "Ashley?"

    The Lady in Red takes her red veil off to reveal that Ashley Jones is indeed alive!

    The Blue Note

    Dondre gloats, knowing about Kevin and Lauren's one night stand.

    Lauren

    "Do you always eavesdrop on people's private conversations?"

    Dondre

    "I was just here kicking it and was at the right place at the right time to hear what I needed to hear."

    Kevin

    "What do you mean it runs in the family?"

    Dondre

    "I'll keep that to myself for now. It's funny how things turn out. Looks like when Sharan gets back, there won't be no happy reunion for you two. She's all mine homie. Thanks for handing her to me on a silver platter."

    Kevin reaches around Lauren and punches Dondre. Lauren then pushes Kevin back away from Dondre

    "Kevin please don't do this."

    Kevin

    "He's taking everything away from me. Now he knows about our sleeping together. And you heard what he said, he's going to tell Sharan."

    Lauren

    "It doesn't matter. Daniel wasn't here and Sharan was still missing when we had sex."

    Kevin

    "I can't let Dondre keep one upping on me. That's all he has been doing lately."

    Lauren

    "I am going to talk to Dondre. I think you should get out of here and cool down before you make things worse."

    Kevin

    "It doesn't get worse than this. I've lost Sharan." He says as he looks at Dondre. "I wonder what he meant when he said it runs in the family."

    Lauren

    "That was an odd statement he made. Why don't you go talk to Karim and ask him about it while I talk to Dondre. I'll call you later." Kevin nods his head, gives another look to Dondre and leaves. Lauren walks up to Dondre

    "So what are you going to do?"

    Dondre

    "Nothing. I'm just here chilling."

    Lauren

    "You know Kevin and I slept together. You and Kevin are enemies. You know a secret about your enemy. So again I ask you what are you going to do about it?"

    Dondre

    "I'm not going to black mail anyone if that's what you mean. I'm just messing with Kevin's head that's all."

    Lauren

    "That's a pretty rotten thing to do."

    Dondre

    "You don't know what I've had to go through. Kevin and his punk ass pops railroaded me into jail, for a crime I did not commit."

    Lauren

    "Actually, I do know where you are coming from. Mona is behind all of this. She set you up just like she set Chris up."

    Dondre

    "Man, I don't want to think about it. I'm not going to say nothing. I could never player hate. But when Sharan comes back, I am going to do what ever it takes to be with her and if I have to use my pimp card than that's how it's gone have to go down." Dondre finishes his beer and leaves The Blue Note.

    Lauren, speaking out loud, "I can't tell Daniel I slept with Kevin. I can't break his heart. He could relapse back into his old ways." She says wiping a tear from her face.

    "Why are you here DC?"

    DC

    "Why do you got to be so mean girl? Let me in. I know you got something good in here to eat." He says brushing right past her. Pat slams the door .

    Pat

    'You got a lot of nerve showing your greasy face here. What is Miss Jenkins going to say about this?"

    DC

    "Here we go again. This Miss Jenkins. Who gives a damn about Miss Jenkins?" Sister Patterson grabs her bible and slaps DC in the face with it.

    Pat

    "Don't know one talk about Miss Jenkins you simple Bastard. Got me cussing. Where is my Holy Water?" She says turning around to begin to search for it. DC grabs Pat, turns her around and plants a romantic kiss on her. Pat, this time gives in. Having a memory from yesteryear, she lets, DC's lips touch hers. She wraps her arms around him and the kiss gets more passionate, that is until she realizes what she is doing and pulls back, wiping her mouth.

    DC

    "That's what I am talking about girl. "

    Pat slaps DC again

    "What's is the matter with you? How do you know we are alone?"

    DC

    "Because I know you. You act differently when it's just me and you. I haven't forgot nothing about you. I drive you crazy don't I girl?"

    Pat

    "Look DC, I told you don't start no mess. What happened between us all those years ago is a closed chapter. I have repented those sins and I don't want to go back there. I've paid dearly for our affair."

    DC

    "What do you mean? Abe knows?"

    Pat

    "No. God punished me by talking our child away from us."

    “No problem. It’s good to see you again. We really haven’t spoken since I’ve dropped back in Salem.” He says escorting her to her office.

    Lexie

    “You’ve been back since Christmas and it’s almost April. This town is not that big.”

    Mike

    “You’re right. But this is Salem. Like, sorry for your loss.”

    Lexie

    “Thank you Mike.”

    Mike

    “So I understand you are looking to come back on staff here?”

    Lexie

    “Yes I do. I miss the practice. I miss caring for people. It’s in my blood Mike. “

    Mike

    “If you don’t mind me saying, the last few years, you haven’t-”

    Lexie, cutting him off

    “I know, I know Mike. I have done some things I am not proud of.. I was going some things within myself. I lost control of myself and my life. But I have repented. I am a changed woman. I look back on the things I did and I feel so ashamed. It sickens me that I acted like my father, a true evil Dimera. I am ready to give back. I want to continue to help and care for others.” She says wiping a tear from her cheek. She continues” Sometimes, people need second chances.”

    Mike, thinks of his own situation with his son Jeremy. Lexie’s last statement really resonates renewed strength to repair the rift that exist between him and his son.

    Written by: ML Cooks



    Midtown Salem

    Salem Place Apartments

    Marlena continues to pound on Sami’s door

    “Samantha open this door. What’s going on in there? I heard screaming”

    Inside the apartment, in Sami’s bedroom. “Sami” lays on top of Sami, who is still restrained to her bed with her mouth taped shut. Stan looks into Sami’s eyes and says

    “Well I guess this is my first test.” Stan gets up off of Sami and looks in the mirror to make sure, he looks just like Sami. He smiles at himself and exit’s the bedroom as poor Sami tries with her might to make a sound, a hoot, a holler or something. “Sami” opens the door.

    Marlena

    “Sami, are you ok? I heard screaming”

    “Sami”

    “Everything is fine.”

    Marlena

    “Then what was all that screaming about?”

    “Sami”
    “Mom, please don’t ask.”

    Marlena

    “What do you mean don’t ask? You’re my daughter and I heard shouting. Now tell me what’s going on!”

    Sami, turning around, getting nervous, walking away

    “If you must know, I have company”

    Marlena

    “Company?”

    Sami

    “I have a guest over mom. A date. There, are you happy?”

    Marlena

    “Oh my….Oh my.. Sami I had no idea you moved on with some one else already.”

    “Sami”

    “It’s none of your business. What are you doing here? He’s waiting.”

    Marlena

    “How dare you?”

    Sami

    “Oh spare me Saint Marlena. You’re no mother of the year.”

    Marlena

    “I will not have you talk to me this way.”

    Sami

    “You’re in my house. If you don’t like what I have to say or how I say it, then I suggest you leave.” “Sami” touts back, walking over towards the door and opening it.

    Marlena

    “Something is not right here.”

    “Sami”

    “What are you talking about?”

    Marlena

    “Something is very off about you.” She says walking closer toward her.

    “Sami”, getting nervous

    “Look just get out ok! I don’t have time for you to play Nancy Drew.” After she says that, they hear some glass shattering coming from the bedroom. Marlena begins to walk over to the bedroom door. “Sami” sweats bullets as his plan to impersonate Sami is about to be exposed before it can even start. It seems “Sami” did not pass his test.

    “Why do you say that?”

    Belle

    “With all the money you have, I thought you dined in fancy places like this all the time.”

    Nicolas

    “Sisters in deed. I guess that’s women for you.”

    Belle

    “Hey, I don’t like that. Not all women are catty.”

    Nicholas

    “Ahh, I was just kidding.” he says looking over the menu.

    Belle

    “Everything looks so good.”

    Nicholas

    “You look better” He says leaning in to kiss her. So why did you want to come here and eat?”

    Belle

    “I have something to tell you.”

    Nicolas

    “Uh-oh, Those are the notorious words spoken when some one has something bad to say.”

    Belle

    “Wow, now you’re making this even harder.”

    Nicholas

    “So it is something bad?” He leans back, disappointed and a little hurt.

    Belle

    “I took a job today here at Titian. I am going to be the new face of Bella magazine.”

    Nicholas

    “I don’t understand. How would is that bad for us?
