Downtown Pasadena, the Courthouse. Sabaryn is escorted in cuffs into the courtroom. She sees, Bryan siting with Natalia, with both Bryan Jr’s sitting behind District Attorney Jack. Standing next to Sabryn is her Power Attorney Lisa Raye. Sabryn “The court is packed.” Lisa “It sure is. You pay that no never mind you hear? We just need to focus on beating these charges.” Sabryn “You think we will be able to do that?” Lisa “I have no doubt in my mind. I never lost a case and I don’t plan to now. I got a few surprises up my sleeve.” Sabryn “Good. I need to be free so I can get my son back from my evil enemies and strike back hard at the people who have done me wrong.” She says looking at Bryan and Natalia. Natalia kisses Bryan to give a show for Sabryn. Mike blocks her view by walking over to her. Mike “Hi, Sorry I am late. I had something I had to take care of.” Mike leans down and hugs her. Bryan is stunned that Sabryn is hugging on another man. Natalia looks at Bryan and sees he is jealous and decides to move in so Bryan doesn’t want to stray back to Sabryn. “It looks like your Bitch moved on with Mike.” Bryan “So I see.” Natalia “Don’t worry about it. We are a family now. We have done the right thing. You have done the right thing for you sons. There is no way Sabryn is beating this murder wrap. Especially with me testifying.” Bryan “I hope you are right. Me being with you is contingent Sabryn going to jail.” Sabryn Oh Mike, I am so glad you are here to support me. I don’t know what I would do without you.” Mike “I care for you Sabryn. I told you that. We are going to get through this together.” Judge Hatchett walks in and the bailiff orders everybody to rise. The judge takes her seat as then everyone is ordered to sit down. Judge “We are here in the matter of the State of California vs. defendant, Sabryn Genet. We will now here opening arguments from the DA.” Jack clears his throat and buttons his blazer up as he stands up and approaches the jury. “Welcome ladies and gentlemen. Over the course of the next few days we will hear your peers testify to the fact that the defendant, Sabryn has had a long history of some sort of rivalry with the deceased, Ashley Jones. It was some sort of a love triangle torn straight out of the pages of your favorite soap opera. There was Sex, there was treachery, envy, affairs, and yes folks even murder. I ask you to listen closely to your peers’ words and then decide if justice will be served. You are the voice for Ashley now. She’s not here to speak for herself. But together, we shall find the truth.” Jack then sits down. Lisa gets up from her desk and walks over to the jury. She looks at them. “I am not as poetic as my counterpart. I just like to get to the point and not be around the bush. You will see that in coming days. My client is a victim of terrorist activity. Ashley was a terrorist and the people I will call upon to testify will confirm that fact. You will come to see that this was nothing but a crime of passion. The DA was right; it is torn out the pages of a soap opera. You will see my client had a moment of temporary insanity.” Lisa then sits down as both Natalia rolls her eyes at Lisa’s last statement. Judge “Jack, call your first witness.” Jack “The state calls Bryan Datillo to the stand.” The court room gets dead silent as Bryan walks up to take the stand. Bryan and Sabryn share a look before Bryan is sworn in. Everyone wonders what Bryan is going to say. Episode 139: Sabryn’s Trial Commences Written by: ML Cooks Story Editor: Monique Cooks Creative Consult: Ian Hefts Huntington Memorial Hospital Alexis is rushed into the ER. Alexis opens her eyes and sees a man with a very familiar face. “Deigo?” Deigo “Yes.” Alexis “My God. What are you doing here?” Deigo “I have some unfinished business here in Pasadena. I was able to work here while I am in town which may turn out to be quite a while.” Alexis “I think of Ashley when I see you. What brings you back here to town?” Deigo “That’s for me to know and soon you will find out.” Alexis “I hope it has nothing to do with Sabryn’s trial today.” Deigo “Alexis why were you brought in here?” Alexis “I was attacked. I need to make sure my baby is ok.” Deigo pulls out his stethoscope and puts it on Alexis’ belly. Deigo “Well the baby still has a heartbeat. I’ll run a sonogram to make sure.” Deigo prepares the machine as Alexis thinks of her catfight with her arch enemy Ladonna. She then thinks of Donna telling Karim about the truth that she really helped out Ashley and Mona. “She has no proof. I tore it up. He won’t leave me.” But Alexis remember that Rufus still knows. “But we made a deal. I hand over control of Divine Design and he would keep my secret. He better not betray me or I’ll lose Karim for sure. I have to have an insurance policy to make sure that Ladonna doesn’t get my man. If I can’t have him then she won’t either.” She looks at Deigo as he approaches her with the sonogram machine. Deigo “I don’t like how you are looking at me. That’s the same look Ashley used to give me when she had a bad idea.” Alexis “Well she is my sister, we are the Jones girls. You really came through for my sister you know. I really want to say I appreciate that.” Deigo “Well look at her now. She’s dead. Unless you know something I don’t.” Alexis “You know as much as I do. As far as I know my sister is dead and gone. If she is alive she has not contacted me. “ Deigo “I guess that’s a good thing.” Alexis “Yes, now listen. I need you to help me just like you helped Ashley. There is a nice cash bonus and incentives in it for you.” Deigo “With the way the economy is going, I am never opposed to making an extra buck. This sounds like I am not going to like it.” Alexis “If you can help Ashley come back from the dead then you can help me with what I need. Now here is what we are going to do.” Alexis begins to tell Deigo her plan to keep Ladonna away from Karim forever. Back in Court. Jack approaches Bryan on the witness stand. “If I have done my homework correctly, you were with Sabryn first but had an affair with the deceased, Ashley Jones.” Bryan, with his head down “Correct.” Jack “Why? Why did you cheat on Sabryn?” Bryan “We weren’t happy. She was so wrapped up in work. We had no romance. She was mean at times.” Jack “Mean you say?” Bryan “Yes she could be cruel. I found a woman who gave me attention. She satisfied my needs.” Jack “And then Sabryn found out and then what happened?” Bryan “Sabryn was furious. They fought a few times.” Jack “So Sabryn and Ashley have a history of violence against one another?” Bryan, unable to look at Sabryn knowing his testimony is not making it look good for her “Yes that is correct.” Jack “No further questions.” Jack sits down as Lisa stands up Lisa “Bryan, you say Sabryn has a history of violence with Ashley.” Bryan “That’s what I said.” Lisa “Yes or no please thanks. Is it also true that Ashley has a history of violence against you?” Bryan “Yes. She has stalked me with a large butcher knife. She kidnapped my other son with Natalia.” He says pointing at her so everyone can see. Natalia stands up and waves at everyone and then blows a kiss at Bryan. Sabryn “Bitch!” Judge “I’m sorry; did you say something Ms. Genet?” Sabryn “Oh no sorry your honor, I was clearing my throat.” Judge “Good now let me clear my throat. I will not tolerate any outburst in my court. Just ask Sister Patterson.” Lisa “Ok enough with the side bar conversations. Bryan is it also true that you were the one that brought Ashley in Sabryn’s life. Sabryn would have never known Ashley if you had not had an affair with her.” Bryan, almost whispering “I guess you could day that.” Lisa “Oh no. I’m going to need you speak loudly so every can hear. You just were running that mouth a few minutes ago. But you see I shut it down. Now answer the question, yes or no? Sabryn would have never come in contact with Ashley if it wasn’t for your affair with Ashley right?” Bryan, screaming “YES!!! Damn it YES!” Hatchett pounding her gavel “Not today. I am not having it. Lisa I don’t appreciate that confrontational attitude. It’s professional.” Lisa “With all due respect ya honor, I have not lost a case. My record and my methods speak for themselves. Thank you very much. I’m done with the witness. The court room is shocked that Lisa has turned Sabryn’s case around. Lisa sits down by Sabryn “Wow that was great.” Sabryn looks back at Natalia and gives her a smile. Natalia “It’s not over yet dummy.” She then flicks her off. Sabryn just brushes it off and chuckles. Lisa “Don’t worry Sabryn. This is going to be easier that I thought. You will walk out of here a free woman.” Sabryn “Good. I got to get Natalia. I am going to war with that [!@#$%^&*].” For the Birds Mental Rehabilitation Centre DC walks over to the main nurses’ station where Nurse Maxine is working the unit again. DC “Damn Miss Lady. I know you make good money as many hours you be working here.” Maxine “I’m the Director of Nursing here. So yes I do have to put a lot of time in here. Is that why you’re attracted to me? I look like I make good money?” DC “No at all. I don’t need your money. I got my own job making good money. As a matter of I will own my own company. You seem to have this preconception about me. I’m here to prove all that wrong.” Maxine “Is that’s so Mr. Williams?” DC “Sho you right. I’m a boss.” Maxine “I’m not impressed.” DC “I see you’re going to be a challenge. I like that. It makes you even sexier.” Maxine, chuckling “Enough Mr. Williams. I have work to do. You here to see Lynn?” DC “No actually I am here to see Sister Patterson.” Maxine gives a him a look, “Uh huh. I see. You see one the one day then the other the next. Is that how you roll DC?” DC “At least you’re calling me by my first name. And I made you laugh. See I think we are getting somewhere. I am here to see the Sister about our son. We do have a few children together. We will always be a part of each other’s lives.” Maxine “And I understand you have a few kids with Lynn as well?” DC “I do. I am not ashamed of it either. Yes I have kids by two different women. They both will be a part of my life. Will that be a problem for you Miss Lady?” Maxine laughs “Why would it be a problem? This isn’t going anywhere. I’m not interested. So it doesn’t matter to me how many baby momma’s you got DC. I’m not interested.” DC “Well you gave it a title. We have “this” thing going on. I can deal with that for now. I’ll see you at the breast cancer event. I’ma show you a real fine time.” Maxine rolling her eyes as she buzzes DC back to see Sister Patterson “Whatever.” DC walks into the Sisters room and sees her starring at the wall sitting on her bed. “No straight jacket today?” Sister “No DC not today I have been good. I have become a new person. “ DC “Oh God here we go. Who are you now?” Patterson “I am me. I am just Patterson.” DC “Just Patterson? What the hell that mean?” Patterson “I don’t know my God no more. He has let me down. I am too weak to fight Don. I don’t have it in me no more. I have lost everything and for what? A God that lets me down? So I renounce God.” DC “What kind of drugs is Maxine and nem feeding you girl? This straight talk from you is scary.” Patterson “Isn’t this what you all wanted? You all think I’m so called “crazy” There are evil forces and they are going to get me. Why? Because no one believes in me or willing to help me fight. So I will just die to prove how right I was all along.”’ DC “There it is. There’s the Almighty Sister Patterson.” Patterson “I don’t think so. What brings you here?” DC “It’s about our son.” Patterson “Karim? What’s going on?” She says looking at him DC “He’s become a drunk. He hit Lauren in the head with a Patron bottle and got arrested. I bailed his punk ass out and then had the nerve to tell his man to burn in hell or something like that. I am trying to be there for him and he just shuts me out and disrespects me and I am tired of it. You know as well as I do Pat how I get down. I’ma boss.” Patterson “Don’t you do anything to my son.” DC “He better start respecting me. You better get his ass together. Because he don’t want to see me. I’m tired of being nice. It’s getting me no where. Karim is out of control and he is about to lose everything. He damn sho going to lose this custody case with baby Kevin.” Patterson “I have to get out of here. Lauren can’t raise my grandson. I will not let my family be raised by a trashy slut like Lauren.” DC “Don’t worry about that. I got that handled.” Patterson “Don’t do anything to my son DC. I am warning you.” DC “You better warn Karim. I’ma boss and soon he is going to find out. One way or another he is going to show me respect I am going to put this family back together. You better talk to Karim before it’s too late. I’m coming for him. “ DC leaves. Patterson “You better not touch my son DC!!” She screams after him. Back at the Court House Natalia takes the stand after being sworn in. She has a stare down with Sabryn as Jack walks over to her. Jack “Please tell the court the history of your relationship with Sabryn Genet.” Natalia “One word can sum it up. Bitch.” Lisa “Objection your honor.” Judge “I’m going to ask the witness to refrain from that sort of language in my courtroom. Lisa “Try that again.” Natalia “Well it started a few years ago when I was working in her sweat shop downtown. You know, a super outlet store of her old and expired fashion house. I had been with her for so long she let me sell a few of my own designs and beauty products in the store as an incentive for being with her so long and for being the number one store she had. That was because of my designs. We out sold all of Sabryns stores by double and that was because of my products. She reneged on an agreement to help me to start my own line with SG and she used the designs I turned in and used them as her own. Sabryn standing up in an outrage “They were all trashy and cheap. I would never do that. Don’t lie your under oath!” Lisa calms Sabryn down as the Judge pounds her gavel. “This will not be a side show, One more outburst from anyone and they will be found in contempt and will be held in custody for 24 hours. Now proceed please.” Natalia “Anyway, before I was so rudely interrupted. No your honor maybe it was a good thing Sabryn had an outburst. You can see her hot temper. She’s evil. She’s a thief. And she’s a bad mother. All my encounters have been very unpleasant with Sabryn. Your honor, it doesn’t surprise me in the least that Sabryn killed Ashley in cold blood. She even attacked Ashley at her wedding with a baby in a stroller right next to her. In fact she attacked me a few times, slapping me in the face. She is known for violence.” Jack “That will be all.” Lisa, turning to Sabryn “I know it looks bad, but let me do my thing, I’m about to rip her apart.” Lisa than stands up and approaches Natalia “I’m not going to play no games. I’m going to get right to it. You painted a pretty vile picture of my client.” Natalia “She’s a vile person.” Lisa “Compared to you? You’re not perfect are you? Sleeping with Sabryn’s man Bryan and had his baby?” Natalia “Yes so what. It was worth it. Bryan has good love.” She says looking at him and blows him a kiss. Bryan rolls his eyes and sinks down in his chair. Lisa “You slept with Sabryn’s man. How do you think she was supposed to react? In fact the paternity at one point was in question, it could have been a man’s named Mark Mortimer? Whom turned out to be bisexual having past romantic relations with a post operation Transsexual Rufus Taylor?” Jack “Objection your honor, this has no relevance with the current proceedings.” Lisa “You’re honor I am trying to characterize this witness as well as her boyfriend for a pattern of provoked behavior.” Judge “I’ll allow it.” Lisa “Answer the question. Is what I just said is true?” Natalia “Yes. The paternity of my son was in question at one point in time.” Lisa “So you had a one night stand with Bryan?” Natalia “I sure did and it was the best sex I’ve ever had.” The jury gasps and Sabryn utters the word Bitch under her breath. Lisa “Wow your cold. What are you going to do when my girl get out of here?” Natalia “She killed Ashley Jones. Shot her eight times in front of police. It’s no way she’s getting released. I have her son and her man. “ Lisa walks over to the jury “Now you see, this sounds like a woman with a devious plan. She’s no angel. She lied about the paternity of her child. Because she lied her baby was kidnapped by the deceased and passed off as her own. There’s a pattern here. Bryan is a cheater. Sabryn was a woman who just wanted her man to herself. Is that a crime? He lied to her; lead to her to believe everything was ok. But in fact he was being a dirty dog, cheating on a woman who attacked Sabryn. Sabryn is a victim of circumstances.” Jack “Objection! The trial is not over. She’s giving closing statements.” Judge “Sustained.” Lisa “Trying to let our peers know what kind of things Sabryn was dealing with.” Lisa takes her seat. Sabryn “That was great. You really turned the tables around.” Judge “Witness may stand down.” Sabryn smiles at Natalia as she steps down, having won their latest battle. Judge “Call your next witness.” Jack “The state calls Alexis Jones.” Sabryn “Oh God here we go.” Alexis struts in court wearing a big hat and big sunglasses walking in her stilettos. The court room chatter increases as the courtroom wonders what Alexis has to say. Sabryn puts her head down as she knows Alexis testimony will be very damaging to her case. As Alexis is being sworn in, Karim followed Miss Rue walk in. Ladonna also walks in and holds Karim from behind. Alexis can see this is not very happy. She then sees Rufus and begins to sweat as she wonder if she will keep her end of the bargain, not to expose her to the court and Karim as being an accomplice in Ashley’s crimes. Today could be the day Alexis’s loses it all.

TC Hotel Ladonna takes the elevator up to Alexis’ pent house. She walks over to her suite door and slides a credit between the locks of the doors to gain access to her enemy’s luxury suite. Access granted. Ladonna slowly opens Alexis's doors and walk in closing the doors behind them. Ladonna begins to ram sack through Alexis’ drawers to maybe find Ashley’s diary. She comes upon a book in Alexis' nightstand. She opens it and sees it’s Ashley’s diary. Ladonna is so enthralled that she begins to read the entries. She comes upon the entry where Ashley talks about how Alexis helped her out in all her schemes. “Bingo. I got you Alexis. I got the proof that you have been lying to Karim and in fact you helped his sister Mona destroy his family. Check mate. I win. Karim is mine.” Donna continues to read the diary to see if she can get any more info on Alexis. Episode 138 Keeping up with Jones’s Written by: ML Cooks Creative Consults: Monique Cooks with Ian Hefts Meanwhile Police chief Mike Dietz pulls up into Karim’s driveway. He walks over to Karim’s front door to see Alexis lying on the ground next to Lauren whom has a puddle of blood surrounding her head. “I can’t believe you did this Karim! What that’s the matter with you?” Karim stand there looking at the scene trying to get a grip on what he has just done. Karim “Alexis, I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me. I have to blame it on the alcohol.” Alexis “Real cute. Jamie Foxx has a song with that same title.” Mike “What happened here?” Alexis “I don’t know Mike. Things got out of hand, they went too far.” Mike looks at Karim and sees the empty bottle of patron on the ground. Mike “What’s your version of event Mr. Williams?” Karim, stuttering “I,..I.. I’m not going to lie. I struck her. I never meant to.” Mike “Karim, I have to place you under arrest for assault.” Mike slaps a pair of cuffs on Karim. Alexis is still in shock that Karim is about to go to jail. Paramedics arrive and immediately tend to Lauren. Alexis “Is my sister gong to be ok?” Paramedic “Yes. She has a pulse and is breathing.” They lift Lauren onto a stretcher and carries it out to the ambulance as Mike walks Karim to his police cruiser. Alexis stares out the doorway looking at both the cop car and ambulance pulling off. She thinks to her self, “What the hell just happened?” Divine Design Rufus sits at her computer in her new office, formerly Alexis’ office. She spins her chair around and takes in the site and the feel of power. “For the first time in my life I have power. And it feels damned good. Now if only if my other wish could come true. Some body to love me.” Miss Rue thinks to herself. She logs onto her computer and log into her Adam4Adam account. She sees she has a new message from her “DL Lover”. She opens it up and reads it. “My apologies I did not approach you the other night. There was too much going on with the fight and all.” Rufus thinks back on the Williams brothers fight. She then thinks “Oh my God he was there. It could have been any one of the men that was there last night. Damn it who could it be?” She continues to read her message “I would like for you to give me one more chance. This is really hard for me. I hope you understand.” Rufus, not impressed deletes the inbox message. “I don’t have time for games.” She says as she is about to close the website out. Just before she does, DL Lover signs on and instants message Miss Rue. DL Lover “Did you get my message?” Rufus “Yes, I got your excuse.” DL Lover “I told you my apologies. You did look beautiful that night.” Rufus “Thank you I suppose. This is getting really old. I have let you run this for a while now and it has gotten me nowhere. So no more so called “meetings”. I visit the Blue Note very often. If you see me you do and if you don’t you don’t. I don’t have time for your games. If you are serious, and if you were a man, then you wouldn’t let any one intimidate you on how you really feel or what you really want. Life is too short for this. So I am out.” And with that Rufus signs off. “I have to maintain control. That’s my new motto. Maintain control and things will go my way. Just look at this office. I booted that bitch out of here. Now it’s time to cement my place here. Rufus begins to work on some sketches for his new upcoming line. As Rufus gets into her sketch her phone line rings, she answers. “Divine Design, CEO “ Voice “MMM, I like the sound of that.” Rufus “Excuse me, who is this?” Voice “Meet me at The Blue Note at the breast cancer benefit. I will reveal myself to you. And trust me you won’t be disappointed.” DL Lover hangs up. Rufus leans back in her chair and begins to think “It is some one close to me who knows I work here , for this person to be calling me here. She begins to think of the men of Pasadena again. Daniel, DC, Kiko, Karim, Mike, Bryan, and Santino. “Who could it be? I couldn’t recognize the voice. If this lame don’t show his face this time, I swear I am done!” Downtown At the City Jail. Mike walks over to Karim’s cell Karim “I told you I have nothing more to say now leave me the hell alone!” Mike “No need for the attitude Karim. I don’t know what’s gotten into you but by the looks of things that transpired tonight, I suggest you seek some help. I’ve known you for a long time and always known you to be straight narrowed. This is so out of character for you.” Karim “Fu(k you Mike. You don’t know anything about me. I been through a lot in case you haven’t noticed.” Mike “Sad.” Mike unlocks Karim’s cell Karim “What’s going on?” Mike “You have been bailed out of here.” Karim “By whom?” “By me son.” DC says walking up to him. Karim rolls his eyes and sits back down on the cot. Karim “No thanks. I’ll pass. I told you I don’t need you.” DC walks into Karim’s cell and grabs him by the arm and DC drags Karim out his cell and out side of the police station. Karim “Get your hands off me!” DC then sucker punches Karim in the jaw. Karim falls to the ground. “What the hell the matter with you boy? You drinking ya life away. You are trying to adopt little Kevin. You just blew any chance you may have had getting custody of your nephew. Why? Because once again you have been drinking. I hope this is a wake up call for you.” Karim “I hate you, you fat greasy Bastard!” DC “I bail your punk ass out and this is how you talk to your old man? Wheather you like it or not damn it you are my son. We can’t change that. You can’t get rid of me either. I told you son I’m a boss. I will teach you to respect me one way or another. Your life is falling apart. You are falling apart. You are going to end up dead if you don’t get a hold of some get right. Your mother needs to be here to knock some sense into you boy. You know good hell well she would not put up with this mess from you. Act like you got some home training.” Karim “DC I just wish you die. I don’t need your help and I don’t need you.” DC, deeply hurt, “I’m tired of you hurting me son. I’m going to say it again I’m a boss. I’m going to show you. You will respect me. Wait until you see what I do next. I got something for that ass.” DC coolly walks away. Karim is a bit concerned what DC has up his sleeve. He brushes it off; thinking an old fried chicken eating greasy ex pimp can’t do anything to him. He heads to the hospital. Huntigton Memorial Hospital Lauren slowly comes to as Kiko examines her. Lauren, faintly “What happened?” Kiko “That’s what I would like to know?” Alexis “It was an accident. I really don’t know. I guess Karim was drunk.” Kiko “Karim?” Lauren “Yes, Yes I remember. It was your brother. He did this to me.” Kiko “Wow. Well you suffered a mild concussion. I’m going to admit you over night just to make you sure nothing else is wrong. Get some rest. “ Kiko walks out her room only to walk into Karim. Karim was trying to rush into Lauren’s room Kiko blocks his way and pushes him back a bit “Whoa. I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Karim “Kiko I messed up.” Kiko “It’s ok. Let’s go talk.” Karim “I don’t want to talk to you.” Kiko “Looks like you need to talk. Let me take a look at your jaw. Who did that to you?” Karim “Your father.” Kiko “You mean our father.” Karim “He is no father of mine and never will be.” Kiko “And what about me? I never did anything to you. Are you going to hold a chip on your shoulder against me too? I am only trying to help you.” Karim “That’s what they all say! Why is everyone trying to help me? There is nothing wrong with me. Stop trying to take Kevin’s place. We will never be that close. I will never be that close to any one ever again. “ Kiko “And that’s not what I am trying to do. We got to build our own relationship Karim. I am not trying to stamp out or walk over Kevin’s memory. You are my brother. We are family and being that, it is my duty to look out for you. No strings attached. I have no secrets. I’m innocent in all this too. This whole affair love triangle thing affected all of us. Just like you and Kevin I am innocent too. I didn’t ask for any of this.” Kiko’s words resonate deep within Karim. He feels he may be able to let his outer wall down just a bit. A tear forms in his eyes as he has memories of his brother flashing through his mind. Kiko reaches out and holds his brother. Karim, weak, emotionally drained and a broken man, caves in and wraps his arms around his brother and cries. He sobs like he has never before. Kiko “It’s ok Karim. Everything is going to be ok.” Karim finally releases the pain, hurt and anger he has built inside him from the last few years over the distsintergration of his family. Back in the room. Lauren looks at her sister “Well sister. We have a lot of catching up to do. I never knew I had sister. I mean I knew it was possible with me being adopted.” Alexis “Yes, it’s a blessing I guess. Would you like to see our mother?” Lauren “I would. I do have some questions for her.” Alexis “Good, I think you two need that. You know I found out about you from reading Ashley’s diary.” Lauren “Wow Ashley is my sister to. It’s crazy looking back on it now and the crazy things she’s done to Sabryn.” Alexis “No no dear. It's what Sabryn did to Ashley. I’ll have to fill you in on “us” Jones girls.” Lauren “This is our first test you know?” Alexis “What do you mean?” Laruen “Your boyfriend hit me. I know you are not still about to be with him?” Alexis “Oh Lauren, please don’t put it like that. I am having Karim’s baby. He is going through so much, I know he needs help. I have been so caught up keeping my fashion house going and Ladonna is constantly breathing down my neck. I don’t get a moments rest. But I will make time and I will help him. I am sure he didn’t mean to hit you. He is in a very dark place right now. Lauren I love him and I have gone through a lot to be with him.” Lauren “I am stunned. You have proven I cannot count on my so-called sister. You really let me down you know. You just tell you wife beater that I am going to fight for my son. I am going to sell my restaurant, The Blue Note and fight tooth and nail by hiring a power attourney. In fact Karim just sealed the deal by hitting me tonight. There is no way he is going to win this custody case. He might as well hand my son over to me. I am tired of being run over and trampled on. I am taking control of my life and get back what is mine.” Alexis, smiles at her sister “You really are a Jones girl.” Lauren “Get out of here Alexis. If you go back to Karim you are no sister of mine.” Alexis “I am your sister. I love you and I will help Karim. I will make this right.” Lauren rolls her eyes and motions Alexis to leave her room. For the Birds Mental Rehabilitation Centre DC approaches the nurse’s station where once again Nurse Maxine is working the unit. “You looking mighty fine there today.” Maxine “Can I help you?” DC “You know there is a benefit coming up at the Blue Note. Why don’t you help an old man like me out by being my lady for the night. You know, show you a good time.” Maxine “I don’ think so Mr. Williams. That would be unethical of me. I’m a nurse looking after at your insane wife. How would that look on my part?" DC “Now see lady, you know as well as I do, Lynn is never coming back to me. She is gone. She’ll never get her mind back.” Maxine “You’re very ignorant Mr. Williams.” DC “What you got an old man already?” Maxine “No Mr. Williams, Just me and my daughter and that’s really none of your business.” DC ‘Then no harm in having a good time then right?” Maxine “Mr. Williams, you cheated on your wife which caused her to have a mental break down hence why you are here to see here today. I don’t want to be with a man like that.” DC “Oh here we go with that yack. Look I’m not perfect. That affair happened many years ago. I am a new and changed man. Never judge a book by its cover. I’m a pretty funny guy. As mean as you are you need a good time. And maybe a drink too.” She smiles and chuckles. DC “That’s what an old man likes to see. That pretty smile. So that means yea girl? You gone be my lady for the night at this shin dig at the Blue Note?” Maxine “I’ll buzz you back to see you wife Mr. Williams. Have a good day.” Maxine buzzes DC back. DC shakes his head at Maxine as he walks through the doors and into Lynn’s room. He sees Lynn in her rocking chair staring out the window. He stands there and stares at her for a bit. Lynn “Why are you here? Why are you standing there just staring at me? Go stare at your mistress Slutty Patterson. That’s who you should go see. While you can. I’m telling you that slut whore bitch is going to die. Mark my words. I am going to kill her dead.” DC "Come on Lynn, we got to move past that. Don’t you want out of here to be with your kids? Kiko needs you and Dre is in jail.” Lynn “If he would have had a better role model, wait you know what I can’t even say that, he doesn’t even know you. You ran out when Dre was five. You left us.” DC “Lynn you know I am sorry. We were having issues.” Lynn “Were we? 5ive years, 2 kids and a dog. I did it all DC. Cooked, cleaned. While you were out having sex with a she wolf. She’s ugly as sin. What would attract you to that crow? I gave you my heart, my life. But you ripped it all up. Destroyed our family.” DC “ You mean three kids. Lynn I’m not here for that.” Lynn “Right, it’s always about what you want? I loved you Don. “ DC “Lynn, look I loved you too. I still love you. You are the mother of my children. I will always have love for you.” Lynn slaps him. “BASTARD!” She slaps him again. “Don’t ever use that word on me again. It’s a thin line between love and hate DC. Slutty Patterson is a phony. All these years, I have dreamed of wrapping my hands around her neck and by the good work of the lord as that slut whore bitch would say, fate has brought her to me. And I promise you when I get the chance I am going to kill her. I have been waiting for this for over 25 years. It’s time Slut whore Bitch Patterson pays with her life for the harm and pain she’s caused.” DC “Lynn, you are scarring me. Don’t talk like that.” Lynn “You should be scared Don. Evil is occurring here. There are dark forces here. And trust me people are going to die and your slut tramp [!@#$%^&*] Patterson will be one of them. I will never stop until she is dead. Everyone thinks I’m crazy and I lost my mind. Well good so when I kill her dead, I’ll get away with it. I’ll just come right back here.” DC “Lynn you are tripping. Let’s get that crazy brain of yours on another subject. Our daughter. You told me we have a daughter. Who is she? You said she was in Pasadena?” Lynn “She sure is.” DC “Who is it? Lynn tell me who it is.” She looks at him with piercing eyes “Never you rotten sleazy Bastard. I will never allow you to taint my precious girl. Look at how you’re other daughter turned out. Mona? My god. She is the face of crazy. But I like her. We both want to destroy Patterson and we will succeed. I will never tell you who our daughter is. It’s a secret I am taking to the grave DC. You will never know. You will not taint her like the rest of the Williams family. Your family is cursed. You already got my two boys, you wont get my girl.” DC is frustrated and leaves. He wonders if there is anything he can do to try and find out who his missing daughter is with Lynn. He comes up with a plan. Back At TC Hotel Alexis flustered from having a stressful day wants to take a hot bubble bath with some candles to relax. Her thoughts of relaxation are halted abruptly when she sees the doors to her suite are cracked open. “What the hell?” She swings the door open and sees Ladonna lounging on Alexis’s king sized bed reading Ashley’s diary. Ladonna jumps up and looks as though as if she’s seen a ghost. Alexis “You fu(king Bitch!” Alexis slams her door closed. She throws her purse down and walks over to Donna ready for battle. Donna, getting up with diary in hand “Alexis you’re pregnant. Don’t do anything dumb.” Alexis “Oh you mean beat your ass again? That’s exactly what I was doing until your lame sidekick racist Bitch Ria showed up. Well she’s not here to have your back now Bitch. Its just me and you.” Donna “Give it up. I know everything. You knew the whole time your psycho sister was dead and you was helping her. Even helping Mona destroy Karim’s family. What do you think he is going to say when I tell him this? Better yet what is he going to do? I win. You lost. I am going to expose you.” Alexis “I’m a Jones’ girl Bitch.” Alexis jumps onto of Ladonna and knocks her down and grabs the diary out of Ladonna's hand. She immediately tears the diary up. Ladonna screams out. Ladonna is extremely angry as her enemy just destroyed her trump card. Ladonna gets up and charges Alexis. They wind mill each other as they roll over the bed and onto the floor knocking over furniture’s. Alexis is on top of Donna and punches her in the face with both fist. “Karim’s mine Bitch. I am having his baby.” Ladonna socks Alexis in the jaw and Alexis falls off of Donna. Donna rolls over and stands up. She grabs Alexis by the hair and takes her other free hand and beings to pound Alexis in the head. “He’s mine. I am going to expose you. You are not going to stop me.” Alexis charges into LaDonna using her shoulders and pins Donna against a wall, causing Donna to have the wind knocked out of her. Alexis kicks Donna in her stomach and Ladonna hurt in pain and so angry with out thinking returns the favor and kicks Alexis back in the belly. Alexis screams out in pain and collapses to the floor. “My baby? Bitch you killed my baby” Ladonna is stunned as she comes back to reality. She realizes what she has done. She decides to get the hell out of dodge and leaves the torn up suite. Alexis is left on the ground in a fetal position in pain as she cries “My baby. Ladonna killed my baby!”

Well we waited long enough, let's get this show on the road. LOL

Wow that first scene was very good. A very good hook. I could really feel the drama and intensity building in the scene This episode had lots of memories. I remember the plot with David and that baby. I despise Ashlee; I can’t stand her one bit. She is so selfish and I don’ think I will ever forgive her for what she is doing. She doesn’t even deserve Coop at this point. I loved Vi’s response to Jason towards the end of their first scene. Before Amanda said she wanted David for herself, I was thinking damn these two would look good with each other. And bam here it is. These two could be hot. I love L. Kay and I can see her being a vixen. Looking forward to this plot. Poor spencer I hope she is ok. When they was talking about the water, all’s I could think of was Diane Jenkins body turning up in the pond on Y&R. In Liz’s first scene I wasn’t to sure if she wrecked or not. I said nah, Jay wouldn’t do that with a baby in the car. But in the second scene we learned she did wreck after all and not only that Aubrey showed up. Game on now. I can’t wait for this. I also can’t wait to see Belinda’s reaction to the news. This episode was GREAT. Very easy to understand and it seems you used fewer characters. A major plus. You have really turned up the heat on FTL. It’s on a roll, Jay you are on fire. I can see the Sex, the Treachery, the Envy, the Affairs, and though no Murder right now, at least yet. Keep up the great work. And what ever you did in this episode, keep doing it. There was something very different in this episode and I can’t put my finger on it, but whatever it was you do it again and again.

I would have been read this but I could not access the blog for days. Did you have the same problem? Ok off to read...

It was Chris that was set up to take the wrap for Daniels faked death. LOL, Matt Lauren got a lot of big stuff coming up. This is a soap opera Matt, come on, of course Sabryn has to be in jail

Yes Matt you have ben gone For a very long time, welcome back Nat just wants things to go her way. She wants what she wants no matter if it belongs to some one else. Hmm I never thought of Jenn. I don't think I like that idea. I think I am able to mine more story out of Lauren being the long lost sister. You will see that down the road

Lavender Hill, Karim's Mansion Karim opens his door upon hearing the doorbell ring. He sees LaDonna. Karim "Donna, I don't think you should be here." Donna "And why is that? I love you Karim Williams. I care about you. What you are doing is a mistake. I am telling you Alexis is a liar. She is lying to you. She really doesn't care about you. It's a game. She's just all about winning. Her heart is not in this. She doesn't love you." Karim rolls his eyes and walks over to his bar to pour himself a drink as Ladonna follows him over to the bar. She is frustrated and grabs the drink out of Karim's hand and shatters the glass against the wall.Karim gives her a look Karim "What is your problem?" Donna "Why do you drink so much? It's this drinking that has got you thinking crazy. " Karim "These drinks are the only things keeping me sane these days Donna. I got so much on my plate. Everywhere I look it's an issue, a problem. From you, to Alexis, DC,my mother, my company, losing my brother. What the hell am I supposed to do?" He hollers as a tear forms in his eye. "I want some one to tell me how am I supposed to deal with all of this. I find out I have a nephew and he has fetal alcohol syndrome. When does it stop?" Ladonna walks up to him and wraps her arms around Karim. Ladonna "Karim Ilove you. I'm here for you." Karim, pushingher back and looking into her eyes with hurt, "Donna, I love you to. You have to understand, I made the choice to make this baby with Alexis.I am going to be a man and be a father and provide a family to my child. A loving home. You see what my family turned out to be. I have to be the one that breaks this evil Williams curse. You will always have my heart. If I could change things I would. But I refuse to let my child be raised in a dysfunctional home." Ladonna "KarimAlexis is lying to you. I know she is. " Karim "I need some proof Donna. Give me some proof of these lies." Ladonna "Trust me Iwill. I am going to prove to you Alexis is a liar and I know she slept withSantino when she went to Miami. This baby she is carrying might not even beyours. It's just a plot to keep us apart because it's a game to her. That's allit is." Karim begins to pour him another drink. Ladonna "Karim,please stop drinking! You are about to have custody of your nephew soon. Is this what you are going to do when he gets here? I've never seen you like this" Karim looks at Ladonna with anger in his eyes "I thought you understood me. Now you are judging me just like DC tried to. Get out Ladonna!" He pushes her out his house. "Get the hell out and don't come back. I have lost everyone and the people who are supposed to care about are now judging me. I don't need anyone Donna including you. " He pushes her out his house and slams the door in her face. Karim walks over to his bar and grabs a bottle of patron and begins to drown his sorrows away Ladonna fixes herself up as she walks back to his car. She thinks to herself "Karim hasa drinking problem. He needs help and Alexis doesn't even see that or care.It's ok Karim, I love you and we belong together. I can help you and I will.I'm going to get you Alexis. I am going to prove what a liar you are." Ladonna pulls out the driveway in her Benz and heads to Alexis's office. Episode 137: Patron for Karim Written by ML Cooks, and Tara Smith Creative Consult: Monique Cooks, Ian Hefts On the other side of the hill, sits Bryan's Mansion. Bryan is in his gym lifting weights, breaking a sweat.Natalia walks in wearing some very revealing lingerie. She leans at the door,posing, as if trying to tempt Bryan. Bryan continues to pump iron as he talks to her "What theare you doing? Where the hell are my sons?" Natalia struts over to Brian. She takes her index fingers and slides it down his washboard abs. She smiles at him as she walks around himin a circle still touching him. She gets to his front and grabs his dick. She kisses him. She pulls back and blows in his ear. Bryan puts the weight down. And pushes Natalia off him Bryan "What is this Nat?" Natalia "We need this. We need to be a family. We have to make this look like this is a happy home. When I don't get sex, I become a Bitch. We don't want that do we? Besides. You love sex. Isn't that why you hadan affair with Ashley?" Bryan "Nat, I am trying to turn over a new leaf in my life. Stop thinking with my dick and my head more. It's time to grow. I got two boys to look out for." Natalia "And I got a kitty cat to look after. My cat is hungry for you Bryan. I'm hungry for you."She begins to stroke his dick and leans up against his body and kisses his neck. Bryan become very tempted, not having had sex in quite a while. Natalia "Don't resist. You know you to feel me on the inside Bryan. I want to feel you deep in me." She reaches in his gym shorts and pops out his erect penis. She squats down and tastes it. Bryan moans as his eyes roll in the back of his head as Natalia takes Bryan's dick deep in her throat gagging on it. After a few minutes of that she comes back up and looks at him. "You like that?" Bryan "Hell yea." Natalia "I thoughtyou would. My p u s s y is even wetter. Put it in me big daddy. She turns aroundand bends over grabbing her ankles. Natalia "It's wet for you big daddy. Put that dick in me and fu(k me." Bryan walks over to herand of course inserts his dick in her. They both let out a moan. Bryan has wall sized mirrors all over the gym and in looks in one of them and smiles at himself, as Natalia moans and screams, It turns Bryan on even more and hereally begins to bang her back out. It's almost too much for Natalia as she cums. Her body shivers and shakes. Bryan follows right after her. They are both relieved. She turns to him and gives him a kiss. "That was good. You're good. Remember. This is for our family. We can't let Sabryn win." Bryan "She's not.She's going to jail. She will not get my son." Natalia "Good. We have to make this work." Bryan "You want to take a shower?" Natalia "Together?" Bryan "Uh yea." Natalia, smiles, maybe she can get Bryan to care about her,she then thinks wait until she tells Ria that her good p u s s y has turned Bryan out, Ria would be proud, Natalia "Yes." He grabs her hand and escorts her to his private shower he has in the gym. They shower together and end up having sex in the shower again. Downtown PasadenaJail Mike walks up to Sabryn's cell Sabryn "Hey you." Mike "It wasyour first big day. How does it feel?" Sabryn "It feels very good. Once I prove I had to kill Ashley for the sake of humanity I know the jury will see thing my way. Ashely was insane. I mean she came back from the dead and kidnapped a baby to pass off as her own with Bryan. That's psycho" Mike "I am sure they will." Sabryn "Did you see how smugged Natalia was today when she walked into court with Bryan?" Mike "I don't pay him or her any attention. It's not worth my time. I am only focused onyou." Sabryn "That's really sweet of you Mike. You have really kept me going through this dark time being locked up for what seems like forever." Mike "You have been in jail for quite a long time. I care for you Sabryn. I am glad I can be here for you." Sabryn "Even though you are the police chief of Pasadena, you haven't caught any slack forthat?" Mike "Not at all. I am off duty when I come to se you. I have not assisted you in anyway. So it's no crime." Sabryn "Good, I would hate to loose you at this point. I feel like you are the only one I can trust these days." Mike "You can Sabryn, like I said I care about you and you can trust me. I would never hurt you or betray you in any manner." Sabryn "That makes me feel so warm. It gives me hope. I am so ready to beat this case, get my son back and get revenge on Bryan and especially Natalia. I got big plans for her.That bitch is not going to know what hit her. I am going to take everything from her." Mike "Woah. I just hope it's' nothing illegal." Sabryn "Nothing like that. I don't fight like that. I know how to fight and still be classy.See that the difference between Natalia and I. I'm a real woman with class. I have a plan for her. It's pretty damn good. She think she's on top now, she mayfeel like she's won but this war is not over this is only one battle of a longwar. I should have crushed Natalia a long time ago. I am so sick of other women always getting in my way or trying to hold me back. They like to get in my way.It's Envy. Just like Ashley,It lead to Murder, which started from Sex that lead into an Affair then which came all the Treachery. It seems that cycle is repeating itself with Natalia." Mike "I don't want it to take over you. I want you to raise your son and build your fashion house back up." Sabryn "I plan to do all that. I am going to bounce back bigger and badder than ever. Hopefully with you by my side." Mike, smiling ather "I would love that. "He leans against the bars as she does to and the kiss. Brookside Park. Jenn is taking a stroll in the park on this beautiful west coast day. She sees Santino joggingin her direction. As he passes her up she puts her leg out and trips him. He falls to the ground. Tino looks up and sees a blonde with a big straw hat with over sized glasses on not knowing who the woman is at first. Jenn takes her glasses off. Tino "The fu(k." Jenn "Hello to you to." She looks at his cut up chest and abs, as he was jogging with hisshirt off. Jenn My my you're looking really buff these days. Getting pumped for Alexis?" Santino "Don't start this sh!t Jennifer. This is getting old. I am going to have a protective order against you. Can't you mind your own business? Stop being bitter." Jenn "Is that what you call it? You left me for Alexis. You got her pregnant." Santino "That's where you're wrong. I never had sex with Lexie. We are just good friends." Jenn "Lexie? "She chuckles. "Is that what you call? You're a liar just like she's lying. She was going through an emotional time and so were you dealing with Ty. I don't believe for one second you two didn't have sex. I'd bet my life you two did. And now she's pregnant trying to pass this baby off as Karim's." Santino "You have no idea what you are talking about. I wouldn't mess with Alexis if I were you.She's out of your league. Jodie is a light weight compared to Alexis. You arein over your head." Jenn "There you go again, defending your own sweet Alexis. You make it so evident you care for her." Santino "You are so far from the truth. Besides I have my eye on some one else." Jenn "Is that right? You're a ho" Santino "I get it from you. You cheated on Mike with Ty. You cheated on Ty with me. What that sound like to you? A ho." Jenn tries to slap him but Santino blocks her hand Tino "Stop being so bitter. Move on. I don't want you. It was only lust between us. It was fun while it lasted, going behind Tyler's back. But that fun is over. And I don't want to be with you. Now let this go Jennifer. Things are changing for me. You are not a part of that. You have showed me your true colors. I don't like who you are." Jenn "Then why did you fu(k me?" Santino "I just told you that. Now don't be bitter and deaf. Stay out of my way and my business." Jenn "Never. I will never let you be happy. I will always be there, waiting to take you down Santino." Tino "Jenn I am warning you. I now have a lot of power. I am running Ty's old drug empire. Ican have you eliminated. In fact, I am going to have some one watching you atall times. So watch your back. Or next time the hit will be out on you." He begins his jog again and jogs off. Jenn is stunned learning that Santino is taking over Ty's old drug operation and the fact that he threatened her. She pouts off. Back downtown,Divine Design Ladonna storms into Alexis's new office and slams the door so hard the glass walls shatters. Alexis "You stupid Bitch! What the hell is your problem? You here to jump me again? Where's your side kick Ria? Go ahead Bitch I want you too because this time I'll press charges and throw your ass in jail." Ladonna "You would just love that wouldn't you? Well I won't give you the satisfaction. I am here to tell you that I will get Karim back. You don't deserve him. You don't even love him. This is just a game to you. You just want to win. That's all you want." Alexis "Your wrong. I love Karim with all my heart. We would have been happy and dram freeif it wasn't for you." Ladonna "I don't think so. He was bregining to see the real person you are. You're a lair and mygut tells me you are hiding something big. Something you don't want Karim to know. I bet if he knew your secret he would leave you." Alexis "Oh god here you go again with you're theories." Ladonna "Is that what you are going to call it? Well I got another one for you I bet anything that this baby you are claiming is Santino's. Not Karim's. You're only saying its Karim's so you can have Karim. So you can be the winner. You see I really love Karim from the depths of my soul, I have for many years. Through Ria, through you. You two didn't really love Karim like I do. Ria cheated on him and you are lying to him. I have done neither." Alexis "You're just some angel. Donna we all have secrets. What are your's? What if I dig some digging in your past? What would I find besides the fact that you are a depressed and hopeless secretary hoping to make the big time by falling in love with her boss. What did you do watch an episode of Dynasty?" Ladonna "You can throw all the insults you want at me Alexis. You can dig into my past. I really wouldn't give damn. You won't find anything. " Alexis "We'll see about that." Ladonna "I'll get you before you get me." Alexis "Bitch it's over. I win. I got the man; I am having his baby so just give it up. Now get a broom and dust pan bitch and clean this damn glass up." Ladonna gives Alexis the middle finger and walks off. Back on LavenderHill Lauren rings Karim's doorbell. Karim opens the door with abottle of Patron in his hand almost empty. Laruen "Not surprised to see you drunk, again!" Karim "What the hell you doing here?" She pushes past him into his house. "You are really tripping barging into my home like this." Lauren "Well I would'nt have to if you come to you senses. My son belongs with his mother. " Karim "You are unfit to raise him. You were drinking while you were pregnant with my nephew.You faked you death while little Kevin should have been in a hospital getting care." Laruen "And what are you doing now? Drinking. That's what you have been doing the last few weeks," Karim "You don't know anything about me Lauren." Lauren "Come on Karim. I know you. Your brother and I were best friend for many years." Karim "I didn't know you two had a one night stand." Lauren "What does that have to do anything? We were in some lonely places when that happened. I know you Karim. I know your family. Everyone except Mona. I know your mother,Abe. We all go back a long way. I tell you what I don't know. This person'you've become. This drinking, you're confrontational. You have a problem you need some help."' Karim "I need help!? Look at you! You gave birth to a child that has fetal alcohol syndrome.You're the one who needs help. Don't come in my house judging me. Who the fu(kdo you think you are? Maybe my mother was wrong at your funeral. You're a drunken slut Lauren. From Daniel, to Chris to Kevin. Slut." Karim takes a swig of his bottle. Lauren is stung after the lowblow Karim just tossed out his mouth. Lauren decides to strike back, tired of being the nice one, wanting to be in control She decides to take some low blows her self, as Alexis walksin on the scene "Wow. Karim look at you. It's a good thing Kevin is not here to see you like this. He would be ashamed. In fact I bet he is rolling in his grave right now." Karim is heart broken. Her words slice through him like a knife. He has a burning sensation in his stomach. The room begins to spin as Laurens words repeat over and over again in his mind. He regains focus and composure and looks into Laurens eyes with madness. Lauren notices the anger in Karim'seyes and is scared she may have taken thing to far. Karim takes his bottle of patron and bashes it against Laurens' head. Laruen collapses to the ground,knocked unconscious. "Don't ever talk about my brother again Lauren. I will fu(king kill you. " Alexis is horrified. She screams. "Karim, you killed my sister! She's been killed again!"

Me too, JR, I am trying to get into your series. The ep I read was great. A major turn off with this hitaus. But I know things happen. SO good luck with your issues and the your series buddie

LOL, thanks Jay!<div><br></div><div>Lauren has some very big stuff upcoming. She will be come more desperate and will continue to interact with characters that she has not done so before.</div><div><br></div><div>Many people have the same vision of Jasmine from Another World. I mean a different world lol</div><div><br></div><div>Sis Pat scene well I had that idea for a very long time. I knew she would be stripped down and left with nothing so I thought why she she beleive in her god any more. This is just the tip of the ice berg and this could turn out to be Sister Pat's biggest story yet.&nbsp;</div><div>She has some soud seraching to do. And let's not forget this supposed battle that brewing in the nut house.</div><div><br></div><div>That DC and Lynn twist came out of no where. I was writing an idea and had this brilliant idea about the daughter. I am teling you I have two folks in mind but boy let me tell you, it's big. It could alter the very foundation of this series. This story turnsinto a mystery keep you eye on it. DC will be trying to find out. &nbsp;The truth may be so devasting for DC he may never tell a soul once he learns who the identity of this missing child .</div><div><br></div><div>I am working on the next ep. and I must say is wow!. I have some very big stuff planned for STEAM. &nbsp;I am so excited It seems I am hitting my stride again. I just to once think STEAM has hit it's peak but we are no where near that. In fact we will be hitting another peak. The stories will become more sensational. THAt's all i can say. Buckle your seat belts.</div>

I love big revelations to Jay and I got a very special episode that deals with just that but not in a good way. In fact before the season I am treating you guys with 3 special episodes. STEAM has never really had any real romance on it before so this scene was a risk but I see it was sucessful. There is more romance planned for the show. THis up coming court battle will be very good. It will involve many characters and have many ramifications.

DC is a man on a mission. He wants to put his family back together but his children won't let him. DC takes some drastic action to command respect but it may back fire. DC will become a mover and shaker in Pasadena!

O wow good luck with all this SOunds exciting esp the part about the writers

The Blue Note Daniel off bended knee and looks at a smiling Lauren. Sharon "What in the hell is the matter with you? Are you drunk again? Isn't that how you lost your son in the first place?" Lauren "Sharon you know nothing about me. Look at what you did to Kevin. You had an affair with Dondre." Sharon "You don't know what you're talking about." She says stepping in front of Lauren and getting in her face. "I never cheated on Kevin and don't you ever throw him in my face ever again! Or next time you'll be getting some beer thrown on you. Bitch because you look thirsty.You really have no class you know that?" Lauren "First Kevin, his half brother Dondre, and even their sister Mona. Talk about no class. You look like the town slut." Sharon socks Lauren in the jaw. Lauren falls to the ground. Daniel "Lauren you really cross the line. I have never seen you act this way. Stay out of my way and out of our lives. I have moved on with Sharon. I love her now." Lauren "Daniel I love you. We belong together. We have been through so much together. YOU have put me through so much! You seem to forget all the pain you caused me. Working with Tyler doing drugs, stealing from me, hitting me." Daniel "I am not doing this here." Lauren "That's the kind of man you want now Sharon? An ex meth head who hits the woman he claims he loves." Daniel "I'm a different man now." Lauren "I love you Daniel, and I will not let you two be together. Too much has been taken from me and I will not lose any more. The good guys always finishes last." Sharon "You starting to sound like your sister Ashley." Lauren "I have been through too much to lose Daniel to you. I love him. If it wasn't for Daniel I would have never have known Ty in the first place. You did this to me Daniel. You set all this into motion." Daniel, realizing Lauren is right, remembering the love they once shared, is a bit much for him at the moment. He grabs Sharon's hand and they walk out the Blue Note. Lauren wipes tears from her eyes. She looks around and sees the patrons looking at the scene she just caused. Lauren "I will not let Daniel be with Sharon and I will get my son back." She says leaving her restaurant. . Episode 136 Sister Patterson Renounces God!! Written by ML Cooks Story Consults: Monique Cooks and Tara Smith Westwood Park Jasmine walks into Ria's house.

Kiko lucky I don't file some sort of charges against him." Jasmine "Let's just focus on you. I am here for you and will be by your side through this whole ordeal. We need to get this place cleaned up. Go in there and get dolled up while I clean up some in here. We are going out. I got a surprise for you." Ria Eww! Out with you!? Where the hell we going to the library? That's your idea of a goodtime." Jasmine "And I gota good job too. And you my dear?" Ria "I hate you bitch." They both laugh and hug each other one more time as Ria goes to get cleaned up and Jasmine begins to clean up her sisters house. On the outskirts of Pasadena, For the Birds Mental Rehabilitation CentreKarim approaches Nurse Maxine who is working the unit. Karim "I'm here to see my mother." Maxine "Of Course,she's in her room. We had to put another restraint on her so please don't bealarmed." Karim "SO I am to assume she was acting out again?" Maxine "Yes Mr.Williams. It was a serious episode." Karim "Do you think she will ever get better?" Maxine "I'm just a nurse here. I know she has a long road ahead of her. She's going to be in here for a while longer." Karim "Thank you Maxine." Maxine buzzes Karim back. Karim takes a deep breath, preparing himself to deal with his mothers outrageous antics. He walks in her room and sees her in a straight jacket rocking back and forth on the bed. He sits on the bed with her. She doesn't even acknowledge his presence. Karim thinks it's strange and he also think it's strange the way she is rocking back and forth on the bed, as he has never seen her do this. He has seen his mother do a many crazy things but his is a new low. Karim "Mother,are you ok?" Sister Patterson keeps rocking, with a tear forming in her eye. He reaches out and touches her. She stops rocking and finally looks at her son. Karim "Are you ok?" Sister Patterson "Why does it matter? No one will believe me any way. Every one thinks I'm crazy. And why do you even care? You hate me right?" Karim "Wow. I've never heard you make so much sense before. I guess this place is really doing you some good." Sister Patterson,tears running down her face, "I guess." Karim "I can tell something is wrong. Something is very off. You're not acting like yourself." Sister Patterson stares into space and has a flashback of last night when an evil sprit appeared to her. She then also remembers seeing her dead husband, chain up and burned from his car accident. "How'd you expect me to act? You thought I was going to put on a show huh?" Karim "I did." Sister Patterson "There's no reason. No one is going to help me. I am going to die and no one cares. In fact all of Pasadena will be happy. " Karim "Stop talking like that. No one is out to get you." Sister Patterson "I told you, you wouldn't believe me. So today is the last day I am using words. I have to defend myself and that's exactly what I plan to do. Then I will show all of yens that I was telling the truth because that's all I know how to do. I am Sister Patterson damn it!" Karim "Mother please don't start. We were doing good." Sister Patterson "You're working with devil. You're working against me. That's it! I've had it! Today is the last day I am using words. I will show you action. I will show you the truth. So no more. You won't hear another word out of me. But I do have to ask, why are you even here in the first place?" Karim "Well, Ithink you should know that-" Karim pauses and looks away. He stands up and begins to walk away from his mother not knowing how his mom is going to react to his news. He braces himself. Sister Patterson "Tell meboy! I got a battle I have to prepare. I don't have time for your mess." Karim turns to her "Lauren had Kevin's child!" Sister Patterson "A who and what now?" Karim "It seems Lauren and Kevin had a one night stand and she bore his child." Sister Patterson "The only Lauren I know is the slut that we buried. I spoke at her funeral service." Karim "Yes, that's her. Turns out she didn't die. She faked her death because "Ty" had a hit out on her. During that time she had Kevin's child." Sister Patterson "Oh God."She begins to rock back and forth again. "Oh my God NO!" She has tears free flowing from her eyes "My baby,..My son lives on. Oh my Kevin. Oh my God." Karim "Yes it's a blessing." Sister Patterson "Oh Karim you have to get me out of here. I must see my little Kevin. I am not going to let that slut raise Kevin's child. God give me strength to break out of this devilish jacket." Karim "Mom relax.I got things under control." Sister Patterson "And that means what boy?" Karim "I have petitioned the courts for sole custody of this child. I don't want Lauren raising him either. She's unfit. Mother the baby is sick. He has fetal alcohol syndrome." Sister Patterson screams, then she cries once more. "No my God no! Not my grand baby. How could you do this to me God? And you expect me tofight his upcoming battle for you. I think not. That poor baby. Lauren better be lucky the devil has me in here. Cause lord knows what I am going to do to her when I see that slut. Ill kill her with my bare hands." Karim "Mother,are you serious? What is going on? I thought you were a child of God. Isn't that what you are always preaching?" Sister Patterson "No more. I am done with that. I am done with God. God has let me down so many times. Now he wants me to fight this evil battle that has been brewing in this hospital. For what? I am tired. I give up the devil wins. Karim I can't fight any more if no one believes in me. I'm here because the state thinks I'm crazy. Maybe I am. Maybe what I saw last night was all in my head. I just know one thing. I renounce God!" Karim is stunned and speechless. He stands up starring at his mother. "What is this place doing to you? You're scarring me." Sister Patterson "Good, be scared. I am too. I don't know what's going to happen but Karim if you don't know anything else. Just know I love you son. I never meant to hurt anyone. And you tell Lauren, If I am blessed enough to make it out of here, I am going to kill her! Now leave me be my son. I have a lot to think about." Karim is almost frozen in shock. He can't believe he is hearing these words come from his mother's so called holy mouth. In all the years he's been alive, the mighty Sister Patterson has always been about the lord. But no more. That has changed. Karim Leaves her room with a puzzled look on his face. He stops at the nurse station and looks at Maxine Karim "I don't know what you guys are doing to her or what drugs you are giving her, but I don't like it. She is talking crazy." Maxine "Oh honey I know. She was talking crazy last night." Karim just leaves alarmed over his mother latest antics. "Something is not right." Karim bumps right his father, DC in the parking lot. DC "Son, you look worried. Is it something about your mother?" Karim " I was fine until I saw you." DC "At least you're not drinking." Karim "Yet. Now get the hell out my way." DC "You're just going to drink your life away?" Karim "Go to hell DC!" DC "It's father to you son. Where's my damn respect?" Karim "With the last bucket of chicken you ate." DC "So you came here to see your mother. So that means you forgive her. You can forgive her but not me? That's dirty you know." Karim "Oh yea? Get over it Donald. Was it dirty when you cheated on your wife with your brother'swife, breaking up two happy homes in the process? Kiko told me about you being his father. What a shame. Kiko is a good man and for him to have you as a father. What a complete embarrassment." DC punches Karim in the face. Karim rubbing his jaw, "Son of abitch! Don't you ever do that sh!t to me again you fu(king fat ass bastard ! We'll never be close! We will never have a relationship. So you can stop wasting your time. You are the enemy and that's how I'll always see you. I hope you die." Karim storms off. DC "You're going to be sorry son ! I told you I'm a boss. And you will respect me damn it. Wait until you see what I do next." DC walks into the hospital to see Lynn. DC approaches Nurse Maxine. DC "I'm here to see my wife." "Uhm hmm, I thought I told you, you were on the no visitors list." She says pushing up her glasses and looking at him more intently. DC "See something you like miss lady?" Maxine "No Mr.Williams. I am doing my job and you seem to want to make that difficult for me." DC "Not at all. Why do you have such an attitude?" Maxine "There's no attitude here. I have a lot of work to do. And you are holding up with this non-sense.I told you the last time you came in here you were not allowed to see Lynn." DC "You must not got a man do you?" Maxine "Excuse me? If I weren't at work I would slap the taste out of your mouth. Where do you get off talking to me like that?" DC "I like your attitude. I love a sassy woman." Maxine "I'm about to go oops up side your head if you don't get out of here." DC "Check that list again. My son Kiko has granted me permissions to see Lynn." Maxine, eyeballing DC "Uhm hmm"She says checking the computer file. "Well I see Kiko did change the list. You are now on it." DC "Thank you.Was that so hard?" Maxine "No it wasn't but you could have saved us all this ring a maroe by telling me from the start of this conversation that the list was changed or has been updated. I don't have time for non-sense Mr. Williams. Next time, I urge you to get to the damn point!" DC " I really am digging you miss lady. You haven't seen the last of me." Maxine "I don't see how that is possible when your (using air quotes) "wife" is in that room. Now be gone Mr. Williams." DC enters the double doors as Nurse Maxine buzzes him back. He walks in Lynn's room. He sees her for the first time in over 25 years. He falls to his knees with tears in his eyes DC "Oh Lynn, what happened to you? How did you end up here?" Lynn, who was in her rocking chair looking out the window looks at DC as he falls to the ground. She wipes a tear from her eye as it falls down her face. Lynn "Slut whore Bitch!" DC "Say what?"He gets closer to Lynn Lynn "You did this to me you bastard! Your affair with that SLUT WHORE BITCH PATTERSON!" DC "Lynn I am so sorry. I was a different man back than. I wasn't ready to be a father or a family man." Lynn "Then why did you have 3 kids with me?" DC "Three? What do you mean? We had two boys. Don Jr and Dondre." Lynn "Don Jr changed his name." DC "I know to some weird ass Kiko name .He thinks he's in China or something. A damn Kiko.What is a Kiko that's what I like to know. Where he got that I'll never know. " Lynn "We have adaughter too. I was pregnant when I first came in here. They took the baby from me." DC "Oh my god,I have even more kids out there. I got super sperm. Dondre, Mona, Kiko, Karim and Kevin. Now I have one more. This is unbelievable. I can't believe I never knew this. Women sure do like to keep things from me. Where is she?" Lynn "She's right here in Pasadena. " DC "Who is it?Who is our daughter? Do I already know her?" Lynn "You sure do! Our daughter is right here in Pasadena. She's been here the whole time." DC is stunned. Who is DC and Lynn's missing daughter?

Wow what a powerful episode. Jam packed with actions. It's like the heat has been turned on in Springfield. Hot damn where do I begin? So all girls who throw up like Asshlee has bad fingers? I don't know if that was what you meant or not. Your stories are also moving much faster and I love that. It really keeping FTL very interesting and FTL is must read every ep. There a sense of less filler scenes and people yapping about nothing and more actions. Keep that up. I was on the edge of my seat at Eden's response to Coop's question. I loved it. And to top it all off he still asked her did she? I love this storyline. Your are doing it so well, you turned it into a mystery giving this story MANY layers. Only a great writer could do that. POOR POOR KEvin. If I was in Springfield he could sho come to my house and lay his head. In fact, naw, never mind. LOL. SO I noticed I Haven't seen much of Reva, is she not in a major storyline? The one thing I am liking about FTL and it really shows this season, is that you have really moved away from those older characters and gave great storylines to the younger set giving FTL a fresher appeal. The older folk I really don't care for. If FTL was on tv, your DEMOS would have dramatically improved over the last few months for sure. In fact if STEAM and FTL were both on the air, I would have my team look at your show to see what you were doing.GL's numbers would have seen numbers they ahvent seen in years. Seriously. You should have really been their HW. You have breath so much fresh life in a great grandma ass show I love how Annie still wield so much power even behind bars. You get it Bitch. I hope she is set free before the end so she can cause some trouble. I see Cyrus has popped back in town. THis can t be good. GREAT EP. I cant wait for the next. FTL is on FIRE.

Well readers I want to announce some changes coming toSTEAM. A few weeks ago I announced that STEAM would get a spin off. It seemsnow that won’t be the case. Instead STEAM will be getting a fourth season. Since STEAM is getting a fourth season it’s time to breathsome new life into Pasadena. We will be seeing some new casting additions overthe course of the rest of this season and into the next. Joining STEAM is Boris Kudjoe, will play the role of Marlin. Marlin arrives when hisstory involves Lauren. Marlon brings his girlfriend to town Katrina played by Tamala Jones. Also joining the cast will be Megan Goode who has aconnection with Marlon. Tiffany’s boyfriend will also join the cast played bythe under siege Chris Brown. That’s all I can reveal for now with these new folks andtheir story. Like all other stories, I promise you this will be good. We’ll seethese four mix it up with the older folk of STEAM. Stay tuned for more casting additions and some cuts are onthe way……

LOL thanks Redd. The Willaims are a mess and a broke dfamily. It's going to take a lot to heal them if that's even possible. Lauren got some very big material coming up

I too see DC and Karim's points. No one point is good or bad. Both men are hurting. Those were some very interesting scenes to write Thank you for the Ria comment, it's kind of a challenge writing this story for her, with how strong she is. I want to show my readers that she is just misunderstood, and Ria will find out who she really is during this story. It has some very interesting angles. My original plan was for you all to know whom Rufus's DL lover is by now. I didn't plan on dragging it our. When I first started, my readers didn't pick up on it, so I decided to slow it down and have some fun with it. The story is much better this way any way. Any guess on who it might be Redd?
