    Paradise, New Mexico


    Cut to Billy Abbott .

    He is parked outside of the Paradise Casino.

    BILLY: …Paradise. This place really is.

    He seems lost in thought....

    BILLY: Do I really want to do this though. Go right at my vices in a casino. Gambling and drinking.

    He gets out of the car.

    BILLY: I do. I think I finally have my vices under control…

    He enters the casino.

    BILLY: And Why not just take a gamble on my first night in town.

    Paul Ryan and
    Emily Ryan are in the middle of an argument.

    EMILY: You frustrate me so much!
    PAUL: I try not to. I think you are just constantly frustrated.

    Their teenage daughter Eliza enters the room.

    ELIZA: You two are arguing again? Surprise! Not.
    PAUL: I’m trying not to but your step mother loves to.

    Eliza walks to her bedroom.
    ELIZA: I Really need to move into a dorm and get away from here.
    She puts in some headphones.

    EMILY: We have been having money issues for how long now?! Feels like years. And what is the first thing you do when you FINALLY are able to get a loan? No not put it in savings so we can get back on our feet. It is to spend it all!
    PAUL: I am not just spending it. I am investing it.
    EMILY: Investing in your mother and not your family!
    PAUL: I am going to get Barbaras company up and running again. I will work for BRO to make the money back. You have to spend money to make money.

    Emily shoots Paul daggers.

    At the casino:

    Brittany is bartending.

    The bar is kind of bare tonight.

    She becomes much happier when Billy sits at the bar.

    BRITTANY: Hey you!
    BILLY: Thought I would stop by tonight.
    BRITTANY: The usual beer?
    BILLY: Yes the usual root beer.

    BRITTANY: I really am glad you showed u. It is kind of dead tonight.
    BILLY: A dead casino. Sounds depressing to me.
    BRITTANY: This city relies on its vacationers. Without travelers you get nights like this.

    Meanwhile, Derrick is nearby at the slot machines.

    He gets a call from Katsu.

    DERRICK: What is up Kat? What why? No I am not at the club right now….Katsu I think you can handle this one. Sorry. I am busy.

    He hangs up.

    Derrick grins as he goes back to playing the slots.

    --

    Cut to Vin, Chavo and
    Greg.

    VIN: Tonight it is finally going down!
    GREG: Are we sure about this?
    VIN: You are not chickening out of this one.
    CHAVO: We need to get pumped first.
    VIN: Well let all the money we are going to have pump you up!

    Greg sits down in the corner.

    CHAVO: Got your gun ready?
    VIN: Of course. I am prepared for this. I am more than ready for this.
    CHAVO: I got us some masks.
    VIN: Get your mind right Greg. Are you ready?
    GREG: As ready as I am going to be. Ill be the getaway car.
    VIN: Fine. Works for me.

    Vin sets his gun in the band of his pants.

    VIN: Lets roll.

    Greg looks on…

    Jesse is at the coffee shop.

    He looks at his watch.

    The barista, Hunter, brings him his coffee.

    HUNTER: A late meeting Commander Hubbard?
    JESSE: Yes, but an important one.
    HUNTER: Good luck

    Kayla Johnson walks in.

    KAYLA: You are Angies husband right?
    JESSE: That is me. Hello Kayla Johnson. Great to meet you.
    KAYLA: Sorry I was late. Hospital stuff goes long sometimes.
    JESSE: Yeah, I know. It keeps Angie busy
    KAYLA: Yeah that’s right. Angie did tell me all about your plans for a fundraiser for the city.
    JESSE: The community is lucky to have you. I am thrilled that you want to help with it.

    JENNIFER: Daniel! You didn’t tell me you were coming already.
    DANIEL: Surprised?
    JENNIFER: Definitely.

    He sets his suitcases down and the two embrace

    At JJs apartment:

    Eliza bends over and starts to take off her pants ever so slowly…

    JJ watches and bites his lip..

    ELIZA: Got me in my bra and panties…
    JJ: This is more fun than I thought it was going to be.

    Meanwhile, Miranda is next door frustrated. The music is still loud.

    MIRANDA: This is ridiculous. Shouldn’t JJ be doing homework too.

    She closes her book.

    Miranda exits her apartment and goes next door and knocks on JJs apartment.

    Eliza opens the door in her bra and panties…

    Miranda is caught off guard.

    ELIZA: Uhhh..is there a problem?
    MIRANDA: This music is really loud. I am next door trying to work.
    ELIZA: Oh. I guess that is my fault.
    MIRANDA: Where is JJ?

    Shirtless JJ walks up to see who it is.

    He is surprised and slightly embarrassed.

    JJ: Miranda…

    At the casino:

    Derrick goes to the bar.

    DERRICK: I’ll take a shot of crown.
    BRITTANY: Coming right up.
    BILLY: Any luck out there tonight?
    DERRICK: No winning for me.
    BILLY: That sucks bro.

    Brittany hands him his shot of whiskey and Derrick takes it.

    DERRICK: That helps. Now Ill have a beer.
    BRITTANY: I haven’t seen you here before?
    DERRICK: I come once in awhile. Usually I drink elsewhere though.
    BRITTANY: Oh. Gotta come here more often.
    DERRICK: I think I do too.
    BRITTANY: Now this guy (points to Billy) This guy is becoming a regular.
    DERRICK: To drink... root beer?
    BILLY: No No. I come here to see this young lady.

    DERRICK: Oh. You two an item?
    BRITTANY: We are old friends.
    BILLY: Something Like that.
    DERRICK: I see

    Derrick seems to have a glimmer of shadiness in his eye…

    --

    Greg parks the car with he, Chavo and Vin near the gas station.

    GREG: Get in and out quickly guys.
    VIN: And you get ready to haul a*s out of here and dispose of this car.

    The three all put on masks.

    CHAVO: Lets get this done!

    Chavo and Vin exit the car and head into the gas station.

    Vin pulls out his gun and points it at the guy at the register.

    VIN: All of your money now! Every last bit.

    Back in the car, Greg is nervous. He is tapping his foot and tapping his hand on the steering wheel.

    His phone starts to ring and he looks at it.

    It is a call from Marcino.

    GREG: I so wish I could answer right now Marcino, but this is a bad time.

    He looks back towards the gas station.

    GREG: Come on guys. Hurry.

    At the coffee shop

    KAYLA: Little late for coffee for me, but a nice hot tea sounds great.
    HUNTER: I think you are going to love it.

    Hunter hands the drink to Kayla.

    KAYLA: Thank you.

    Hunter walks back to his counter.

    KAYLA: Never been to this place yet but I like it.
    JESSE: This is my gasoline that keeps me running.
    KAYLA: So what would you like me to do for this fundraiser?
    JESSE: Just volunteer to help out while its going on. Maybe you and Angie could get some folks from the hospital to donate.
    KAYLA: Will this be taking place soon?
    JESSE: Hopefully sometime this summer. I have to work things out with the chief first.
    KAYLA: I promise that whatever you need me for I will help with.
    JESSE: Thank you so much. This community needs more people like you for sure.

    Cut to Daniel and Jennifer

    JENNIFER: So do you like this place? I know you didn’t get a chance to pick it out with me.
    DAN: It is really great. You did well.
    JENNIFER: I try.
    DAN: Our first house together.
    JENNIFER: Yes. I like you putting it that way.

    They kiss..

    DAN: I have wanted this all along.
    JENNIFER: A house together?
    DAN: Well to get away together. To be away from Salem. Just you and me.
    JENNIFER: Will take some getting used to, but at least JJ is still near me. I like that.
    DAN: Yeah…

    Daniels smile fades…

    --

    At JJ’s apartment:

    JJ turns the music off.

    JJ: I am sorry the music got so loud, Miranda.
    MIRANDA: I feel like I am interrupting something.
    JJ: Well we were just—
    ELIZA: --Just having a sexy game of strip poker.
    JJ: I guess it got out of hand.
    MIRANDA: I will leave you both to that. I am sorry.

    She starts to leave.

    JJ: Wait!

    Miranda turns back around.

    JJ: Don’t be sorry.
    MIRANDA: Okay…

    Things get awkward as they both go silent.

    Eliza looks on at them both and rolls her eyes.

    JJ: I promise the music will stay off tonight and not get so loud ever again.
    MIRANDA: Cool. See you later..

    She walks off.

    JJ closes the door.

    Daniel: JJ better not bother us. It would be in his best interest to stay away.

    [:33] At JJ’s apartment.

    JJ seems disappointed.

    ELIZA: Please do not let the killjoy from next door ruin the night.
    JJ: I think it is best we call it a night.

    JJ puts on his shirt.

    ELIZA: But that was so much fun! I know you were having a blast. Saw it with my own two eyes Jack Jr!
    JJ: It was fun, but it is time to call it a night and I said when we met to please just call me JJ.
    ELIZA: Okay…your mood changed quickly, but if you insist.

    Eliza starts to put on her clothes.

    [1:05]

    At the coffee shop:

    Jesse and Kayla shake hands and Kayla exits.

    Hunter comes to the table to pick up Kaylas cup.

    HUNTER: Hey Commander Hubbard, I just wanted to tell you real quick that I know cops take a lot of flak. Especially these days, but I respect you all and what you do.
    JESSE: Thank you Hunter. That means a lot.

    Jesse shakes his hand.

    Jesse’s radio then goes off to a robbery that has just been alerted.

    JESSE: Looks like I am heading out!
    HUNTER: Good luck sir. Be safe.

    Jesse exits.

    [1:30]

    Masked Vin and Chavo come running out of the gas station and across the street to the car.

    VIN: Hit it Greg lets get out of here!

    Greg peels out and takes off quickly.

    CHAVO: We have to get somewhere to dispose of this old ass vehicle. Where did you get this anyway, holmes?
    VIN: Stole it of course…man that was such a rush! I loved it.
    CHAVO: Faster Greg!

    Greg makes a sharp turn as he speeds up.

    Greg doesn’t say word he just looks on towards the road very nervously.

    VIN: Hurry to the river!

    Greg goes down a hill to the river and stops.

    VIN: We’ll leave it here. Let’s get going.

    There can be sirens heard in the distance!

    CHAVO: They can’t know were down here.

    Steve is getting home taking his bags out of his car.

    He hears a voice say “Long trip?”

    He turns around to see Roman Brady.

    STEVE: Roman, what are you doing here?
    ROMAN: The ISA sent me out to talk to you.
    STEVE: Is this about the operation to find Bo?
    ROMAN: I have some good news…

    Steve is intrigued

    --

    At the hospital, Angie is pushing
    Natalia around in a wheel chair.

    NATALIA: I probably could walk you know?
    ANGIE: Leave that to the physical therapist. I just want to talk.
    NATALIA: About my recovery?
    ANGIE: Well, yeah. Your recovery will probably progress slowly.
    NATALIA: I already feel much better than when I first woke up.
    ANGIE: Maybe you will be super woman through this recovery then.

    NATALIA: I like to think I will be.
    ANGIE: I also wanted to talk about your father.
    NATALIA: Was he a wreck after I was shot?
    ANGIE: Yes. Which was to be expected. He’s elated now though. I am very happy that you two are so close.
    NATALIA: I think we keep each other grounded. Especially on the job.

    --
    Greg is home.

    He takes out a wad of cash.

    He flashes back to last night robbery:

    Vin, Chavo and himself had to run off on foot and they all went separate ways.

    GREG: I cannot believe those idiots pulled off a robbery.

    He stashes the money in his underwear drawer.

    GREG: I cant stash this here for long. God knows I cannot keep it in this house.

    He closes the drawer.

    GREG: I don’t even want it anyway. I feel very uncomfortable about what went down.

    He sits on his bed and shakes his head..

    --

    Meanwhile Vin and Chavo are together.

    CHAVO: What a rush last night, holmes!
    VIN: It sure was.

    It gets silent and Chavo looks at Vin stare in the distance.

    CHAVO: Um, I thought you of all people would be thrilled about what went down.
    VIN: I am. We made a good chunk of cash. We almost have a thousand dollars each.
    CHAVO: Then why do you seem unhappy?
    VIN: It is that stupid girl!
    CHAVO: Ali?

    VIN: Yes, she seems to have disappeared. I cannot get a hold of her and have no clue where she is. I want to try and make things up to her. She always forgives me and with this cash I know I can buy her something special.
    CHAVO: I am sure she will come around. She could not have just up and disappeared.
    VIN: She likes jewelry. I will get her some jewelry.
    CHAVO: Maybe throw in some flowers too.
    VIN: Good idea Chavo. That’s why I keep you around.

    Vin takes out a picture from his wallet of he and Ali.

    VIN: I wish she would just answer her phone!

    He calls her and it goes straight to voice mail.

    VIN: But she wont!

    He crumbles the picture of the two of them in frustration.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnwwnaIcRSU

    Roman and Steve are inside the Johnson house:

    STEVE: Please go into detail of this good news, dude.
    ROMAN: The ISA sent a drone to check out some places around this city and on the outskirts of this city.
    STEVE: It found Bo?
    ROMAN: That would have been best case scenario, but what the drone was able to find is a house on the outskirts of town that seems newly built. The drone took pictures of the inside and it seems to be occupied, but nobody was seen around neither day nor night the two days the drone came around it.
    STEVE: You really think this could be connected to Bo?

    Roman hands Steve some pictures

    ROMAN: Yes because the very last time I spoke with Bo he had mentioned a house he was hoping to find more information on.

    Steve looks over the pictures

    His eyes go wide.

    STEVE: I think you have something here! I just have that feeling you know?
    ROMAN: I do hope this will lead us to my brother.
    STEVE: We have to get in there quick and look around.
    ROMAN: Me too, but we do have to get a warrant first.

    --
    Cut to Vin and Chavo

    CHAVO: I think I am going to go spend some of this money.

    Vin puts on his shades

    VIN: I have to go too, Chavo.
    CHAVO: Where are you off to? To buy that jewelry?
    VIN: No, I am going to track down one of Alis friends. She will have to know where Ali is.
    CHAVO: Good luck, ese.

    --

    Ali meanwhile is with Miss Cho at the womens shelter.

    MISS CHO: How are you holding up, Ali?
    ALI: I am trying to get adjusted to being here.
    MISS CHO: You are adjusting well.
    ALI: You think so?
    MISS CHO: Yes. First two days you wanted to just stay in your room alone, but today you ate breakfast with some of the other girls.

    ALI: I was hungry.
    MISS CHO: Regardless, I think it is a great first step.
    ALI: I feel isolated here.
    MISS CHO: In a way this is isolation, but you can make some life long friends here you just have to let them in.
    ALI: I am going to try.
    MISS CHO: Take your time. I just want you to be comfortable.

    Greg is in his room.

    He is laying on his bed staring at the ceiling.

    He then hears his father yelling at his little brother

    “You never listen to me! Are you stupid, kid? Start to listen to me!”

    Greg sighs.

    “The damn people in this house! Never listen. I should kick you all out!”

    GREG: I wish he would.

    “Dammit Cole, Just go to your room before I kick you all the way to it!”

    GREG: I am sick of that man…

    --

    Jesse arrives at the hospital.

    He goes to the room to see Angie there with Natalia.

    JESSE: Angie
    ANGIE: Hi baby

    Jesse and Angie kiss.

    Angie: You okay from your long night last night?
    JESSE: I got a little bit of sleep.
    NATALIA: What went down last night?
    JESSE: There was a robbery but I don’t want you worrying about that right now.
    NATALIA: I am still a cop.
    JESSE: For now.

    NATALIA: How long until I can get back on the force?
    JESSE: I hope you are joking and not in a hurry for that.
    NATALIA: What do you think, Angie, how long until I am recovered enough for that?
    ANGIE: That is hard to say and really up to the force.
    JESSE: I am sorry Natalia, but you will not be continuing on as an officer.

    Her smile fades fast.

    --

    Kayla arrives home and is happy to see Roman.

    KAYLA: Roman!

    Kayla and Roman hug.

    ROMAN: Good to see you sis.
    KAYLA: What are you doing here?
    ROMAN: Just here on business.
    KAYLA: Don’t like the sound of that.

    STEVE: I need a favor Kayla. I need to talk to your co workers husband. The cop.
    KAYLA: Okay…about what?
    STEVE: About business. We need a warrant. Investigating a house.

    Kayla looks at them both suspiciously.

    KAYLA: Something is going on.
    STEVE: I will hopefully be able to tell you more soon. I just need to get a warrant.
    ROMAN: I better go.
    KAYLA: I don’t like this.
    ROMAN: I’ll be in touch Kayla.
    KAYLA: When you do, speak more please.

    Roman exits and Kayla gives Steve a look of what is really up.

    Outside of the house Roman goes to the window.

    He gazes back in on Steve and Kayla…

    --

    Back at the shelter:

    MISS CHO: Would you like to be in todays painting session. Could be good for your mind to get some peace.
    ALI: How many girls will be there?
    MISS CHO: Most of them.
    ALI: I think Ill pass today.
    MISS CHO: You cannot avoid all the girls forever.

    ALI: I know I just need time. I am not use to having many friends because of Vin.
    MISS CHO: He kept you away from them?
    ALI: He tried to. I had a few but I didn’t see them often. Usually just talked on the phone.
    MISS CHO: I understand, Ali. I just hope you will come around.

    Miss Cho hugs Ali.

    --

    Vin Meanwhile has tracked down one of Ali’s friends.

    VIN: Talk to me Willow.
    WILLOW: I don’t know what you want me to say.
    VIN: I want you to tell me where Ali is!
    WILLOW: I told you I do not know.

    Vin takes a step closer to her.

    WILLOW: You are kind of scaring me.
    VIN: I don’t want to scare you I just want to get ahold of Ali.
    WILLOW: I’m sure you do want to get AHOLD of her, but I have not heard from her in a few days, like you.
    VIN: Where would she go?
    WILLOW: I do not know, but she was going to the hospital a lot.

    VIN: The hospital? For what?
    WILLOW: She was talking to some doctor there?
    VIN: About what?
    WILLOW: You’ll have to ask her. I have to go now.

    She walks off quickly.

    VIN: What the hell is Ali up to?

    He clenches his fist..

    Greg hears his father go into his little brother Coles room.

    FATHER: I need you to dump the trash before you sit in your room being lazy like your deadbeat brother!

    Greg seems to of had enough and gets off the bed and heads into the hall.

    GREG: Quiet down dad!
    FATHER: You are really going to get in my face like this and raise your voice?
    GREG: Who are you calling deadbeat? You are here bitching while mom is at work.
    FATHER: How dare you? You will not disrespect me like this!
    GREG: You gonna hit me? What else is new. Always taking your aggression out on this family. Well I am sick of it!
    FATHER: What are you going to do about it?

    They have a staredown.

    FATHER: Nothing.

    He shoves Greg into the wall and walks downstairs.

    At the hospital:

    NATALIA: You cannot keep me off of the force, dad?
    JESSE: You need a lot of time to recover. Not only physically, but mentally.
    NATALIA: I will be able to do that soon enough.
    ANGIE: Don’t start an argument guys.
    NATALIA: I just want my dad to know that I can make my own decisions.
    JESSE: I am not trying to make the decision for you. I am looking out for you.
    NATALIA: Whenever it is that I recover I plan on staying on the force no matter what!

    Jesse is obviously upset to hear this.

    Cut to Miranda at home.

    She is listening to her headphones as she is going over some homework. There is a knock at her door but she doesn’t hear it at first with her headphones on. The knocking slightly increases and she hears it and turns off her music.

    Miranda opens the door to see JJ.

    JJ: Hi…neighbor.
    MIRANDA: Hey…
    JJ: I hope this isn’t awkward.
    MIRANDA: Why would it be awkward?
    JJ: You know…the other night. I was doing some bad unneighborly stupidness with some loud music.
    MIRANDA: Yeah that got a little frustrating to say the least.
    JJ: Well I came over here to apologize for that night…hope you can give me some neighborly forgiveness.

    Lucas and Emily are at the coffee shop.

    Hunter takes their orders.

    EMILY: I hope this coffee is strong. I really need it.
    HUNTER: Coming right up nice and strong.

    Lucas and Emily take a seat.

    LUCAS: You alright? You seem uneasy to me.
    EMILY: Didn’t sleep well.
    LUCAS: If you wanted to meet because of that I am the wrong person to ask for sleeping advice.
    EMILY: That is not why we are meeting. You just want to cut right to the chase don’t you...
    LUCAS: For some reason you intrigue me. At a business level of course.
    EMILY: This is good.
    LUCAS: No. I don’t like it.

    EMILY: Don’t say that. You know I should probably be at my husband’s opening, but here I am with you.
    LUCAS: Your husbands company is opening today and you are not there?!
    EMILY: He won’t miss me. I think.
    LUCAS: I…I don’t get you.

    Cut to BRO:

    It is officially up and running!

    Paul walks up to Barbara.

    PAUL: Mom I hope you have the designs ready to go into production.
    BARBARA: I do. I think they came out wonderful.

    Barbara hands Paul a folder.

    Katsu walks over and takes the folder.

    KATSU: I want to see these too.
    BARBARA: Aren’t you just involved with the business side of this company and not the creative?
    KATSU: I savor in making sure my money goes into good product.

    Katsu looks over some of the designs with Paul.

    PAUL: What do you think?
    KATSU: We’ll see how the finished products come out.

    He gives the file to Paul and walks.

    BARBARA: I still don’t like him at all!

    Eliza glides up to them. She hugs Barbara.

    BARBARA: (her frown turns to a smile) Hey sweetie!
    PAUL: I’m proud that you are on time.
    ELIZA: Of course I am. I am here to be your very productive secretary, dad!
    PAUL: Happy to hear it…not happy about one thing though.
    ELIZA: What is wrong?
    PAUL: I see that Emily nor Henry are here to support us today.

    Barbara looks on

    Marcino and Greg are out by a pond.

    MARCINO: This place is beautiful.
    GREG: I have never taken anyone else here before.
    MARCINO: It is personal to you?
    GREG: Very. The only place I get my peace from the last five years or more. I’ve lost track.
    MARCINO: Your family has been going through a rough patch for that long?
    GREG: We don’t go through rough patches. We are the rough patch.

    MARCINO: I don’t like to see you this stressed out all the time,
    GREG: When you get no peace at home every day, it will short circuit a persons nerves.
    MARCINO: I can imagine. Always puts my minuscule problems into perspective.
    GREG: I don’t mean to belittle your problems.
    MARCINO: You don’t.
    GREG: I just truly hate my life.

    Greg skips a rock into the pond.

    Jesse shows up to see Steve and
    Terrance.

    JESSE: Hi agents
    STEVE: You already come bearing gifts, dude?
    JESSE: I do. I have the warrant you want.
    TERRANCE: That was fast.
    JESSE: I want to help you guys as much as I can. I may need the favor returned soon.
    STEVE: Works for me.
    TERRANCE: Let’s go to this house. I want to see what we can uncover there.
    STEVE: I just hope it is something that leads to Bo.

    The 3 men head off

    Cut to JJ and Miranda:

    JJ: I just don’t do well when partying. Something always happens.
    MIRANDA: You sure seemed to be having fun.
    JJ: I get carried away. The loud music was not my idea. Though that is not an excuse.
    MIRANDA: Oh so then the strip poker was your idea?
    JJ: Ha! Well no, actually that wasn’t either. None of it was to be honest.
    MIRANDA: hmm…okay. I am sorry if I interrupted you and your girlfriend from having fun.

    JJ looks on uncomfortably.

    JJ: She…Eliza is not my girlfriend.
    MIRANDA: Well then sorry for interrupting your friend with strip poker benefits (chuckles)
    JJ: You didn’t interrupt anything.
    MIRANDA: (gives him a doubting look) Okay. Whatever you say. I am glad we came to these understandings.
    JJ: Me too.

    Awkward silence ensues..

    At the coffee shop

    HUNTER: Here are your extra strong coffees
    EMILY: Thank you very much.
    LUCAS: So can we get to why you called and wanted a breakfast meeting.
    EMILY: I just want to know what you thought of my resume.
    LUCAS: It is in my possibility bank.
    EMILY: What the hell is a possibility bank?
    LUCAS: The maybe I will hire the maybe I won’t hire folder.

    A man walks in looking strange..

    EMILY: Don’t play hardball with me Lucas Roberts. I have experience for you... and your company.
    LUCAS: You do and I am considering hiring you, but—

    The strange guy walks up to their table.

    STRANGE GUY: Do I know you…
    LUCAS: Me? I don’t think so.
    STRANGE GUY: I’m reasonably sure that I know you from somewhere.
    LUCAS: No…no I think you have the wrong guy…

    --

    AT BRO:

    Katsu is with Barbara

    KATSU: You know I was just giving you a hard time about your designs right?
    BARBARA: With your opinion or without your opinion I know my designs are fabulous.
    KATSU: Aren’t you the confident one.
    BARBARA: When you have done something most of your life you know a few things. Don’t you forget that I know a few things. Could probably even teach you a thing or two (smirks)

    She Walks off.

    Meanwhile, Paul comes out of his office and goes to Eliza at her desk.

    PAUL: You put your first call in! Great job!
    ELIZA: Thank you!
    PAUL: It is day 1 though and I have a lot of people who will be calling and making appointments with me and your grandma so if it gets to be too much let me know.
    ELIZA: I’ll be fine.
    PAUL: Cool

    He walks back to his office.

    The phone rings.

    ELIZA: Paul Ryans office…yes…sure I will put you through.

    She puts the call through to her dad.

    Another line rings.

    ELIZA: Paul Ryans office…a meeting…yes…let me look through his appointments today….

    Line 3 and 4 start to rings as well.

    ELIZA: Hold please….(answers line 3)…materials? Yes we will need materials in today I am sure…I don’t know…I will have to ask

    She is starting to panic as the work builds up…

    --

    At the pond:

    Marcino and Greg are sitting on a bench

    Marcino sighs

    MARCINO: You are killin’ me bro.
    GREG: I am sorry for being a depressive twit.
    MARCINO: No Don’t say that. I can just tell you need a hug.

    Greg puts his arms out for a hug

    GREG: Well…

    Marcino hugs him.

    GREG: I just need to get away from my father. When I turn 18 soon I will and when I do I will be feeling better. A better man. I know it is no excuse but this stress makes me choose poor choices.
    MARCINO: Oh no…what did you do now?

    Greg puts his hand on Marcinos knee..

    GREG: Don’t judge me but I—
    MARCINO: --Wait…sorry for interrupting but what is that?

    Marcino points in the distance to tons of trees

    GREG: Oh sh*t


    --

    Steve, Jesse and Terrance arrive at the house the ISA drones took pictures of.

    They go inside….to find it completely empty with just a bookshelf with no books and a refrigerator in the kitchen.

    TERRANCE: This cannot be! They just took these pictures 2 days ago and now it is empty.
    STEVE: This does not make any sense. Roman told me as soon as he could about these.
    JESSE: How would anyone not in the ISA know these pictures were taken?
    STEVE: Nobody should have known about that.
    TERRANCE: It must have just been emptied out yesterday or today.
    JESSE: Looks like it was cleaned up good too. I will see if I can get forensics just in case.

    STEVE: Please do that.
    TERRANCE: Someone is one step ahead of us and I am sick of it.
    STEVE: Me too. It is starting to be beyond frustrating and just plain infuriating.
    TERRANCE: Could it be an inside job at the ISA?
    STEVE: I’ve had an odd feeling about that for a while now.
    TERRANCE: Who at the ISA was originally in charge of Bo’s mission?
    STEVE: I have not been able to find that info out, but I will now. Something is off and we need to figure out what.

    --

    Cut to JJ and Miranda:

    JJ: Glad we had this talk. I’ll, uh, leave now.
    MIRANDA: Thank you for stopping by. You didn’t have to apologize but its really cool that you did.
    JJ: It won’t happen again either way.

    JJ exits and goes back to his apartment and closes the door.

    He sinks against his door and thumps his head against the door.

    JJ: I so have blown it with Miranda…

    --

    At the coffee shop:

    Hunter sees the strange guy at Lucas and Emilys table

    STRANGE GUY: I have to know you from something…
    LUCAS: I don’t think so man
    HUNTER: Jeremy, you have to let our customers eat in peace.
    STRANGE GUY/JEREMY: Sorry.
    HUNTER: Do you want your usual donut?
    JEREMY: No, I have somewhere to be now.

    Jeremy exits quickly.

    EMILY: What was that about?
    LUCAS: I have no clue who that was. I’m sure he didn’t know me.
    HUNTER: His name is Jeremy. He comes in here a lot. The guy does seem to have some mental issues…

    --

    AT BRO:

    Barbara is in her office going over her designs.

    BARBARA: I have my baby back. These are wonderful. Just wait till they come to fruition.

    Meanwhile, Katsu is at Eliza's desk.

    KATSU: You alright?
    ELIZA: Was a stressful ten minutes. So many calls at once.
    KATSU: You’ll get use to it.
    ELIZA: I was confident at first, but now I am worried.
    KATSU: You will get the hang of it. Don’t sweat it.
    ELIZA: I’ll try
    KATSU: Really though, you are already sweating.

    Katsu wipes some sweat from her eye brow.

    He looks into her eyes and smiles before walking into Paul’s office.

    “The eyeland” from the Lost sound track starts to play

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbsiB5zndtk

    [:00] In Pauls office

    PAUL: Hello Katsu
    KATSU: How is your first morning here at BRO?
    PAUL: So far so good, I’d say.
    KATSU: Me too.
    PAUL: I didn’t think you would stick around.
    KATSU: Hey, I am part of the family now.
    PAUL: I do want to thank you for all your help.
    KATSU: Always glad to be of service. I just cannot wait for the money to start coming through.
    PAUL: Oh, believe me, I will be elated when we make a profit.
    KATSU: We all will.

    Katsu and Paul shake hands.

    [:27] A frustrated Steve arrives home. He gets out of his car and slams the car door shut.

    He starts to walk towards his house when he hears something. He stands still for a moment…

    Someone is walking up behind him…

    He slowly starts to reach for his gun…

    Steve turns around quickly to see Carly Manning standing there!

    [:46] Steve: Woah be careful with the sneaking!
    CARLY: Sorry…I had to track you down. I can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong with Bo.

    Steve looks on uneasy

    [:56] Cut to Greg and Marcino at the pond.

    GREG: We have to go see what happened over there…
    MARCINO: I suppose…

    Marcino is nervous as the two start to walk through the trees closer to whatever it is they see.

    [1:08] They start to walk slower…

    A large dark object can barely be seen through more trees in the distance.

    MARCINO: This looks bad...
    GREG: Yeah. Something dire happened.

    They continue to get closer through the trees.

    [1:20] The two young men finally get to the object. Greg puts his hand across Marcino and looks around.

    GREG: I don’t think anyone is near.
    MARCINO: We’re going to have to call the police…

    [1:30] Cut to a mostly burnt up and charred car!

    GREG: I hope nobody was inside
    MARCINO: Can you tell?
    GREG: I don’t want to try and find out.

    The car is basically all burnt up. Busted up windows. Charred in the inside and out. Greg and Marcino get closer to it.

    The license plate however has managed to stay mostly okay.


    Zoom in on the license plate:
















    It reads: “BO4HOPE”

    The bartender, Bob places a napkin where he is sitting.

    BOB: What can I get for you?
    JEREMY: Your best beer on tap.
    BOB: Coming right up.

    A stripper is on stage.

    Bob hands Jeremy his beer.

    Jeremy takes a sip and then stares a hole through the stripper that is on stage…

    Meanwhile, Derrick walks to the back room at the club.

    He seems agitated.

    He makes a phone call.

    DERRICK: Hey…what the hell is the problem? Well we need to fix this fast….we cannot be having an issue with the product! Stop with the excuses!

    Lucas is at the grocery store.

    Jennifer and Daniel are also there.

    LUCAS: Sis!
    JENNIFER: Hey Lucas. Doing some 4th of July shopping?
    LUCAS: A little something.

    Lucas and Daniel look at each other.

    DANIEL: Hey there, Lucas.
    LUCAS: Doctor Dan…

    Lucas sees Daniel looking at some of the pork ribs Lucas is also looking at.

    He sees Daniel about to grab for one, but Lucas grabs the pack first.

    LUCAS: Not gonna steal something from me again Daniel..
    DANIEL: oh…kay..
    JENNIFER: I am so happy to run into to you.
    LUCAS: Me too, Jenn

    Daniel gives them both a dirty look.

    Marcino and Greg are with the burnt up car they found with the “BO4HOPE” license.

    MARCINO: We need to report this to the police.
    GREG: Do we really have to call them?
    MARCINO: I think we should. Something terrible happened here.
    GREG: Fine, but you are going to be the one that calls.
    MARCINO: That is fine.

    Marcino takes out his phone and dials 911.

    --

    Steve and Carly are inside of the Johnson house:

    STEVE: You came all the way here to ask me about Bo? Do you have something against phones…texts…facebook messages?
    CARLY: This is too important for all of that.
    STEVE: What do you think is wrong with Bo?
    CARLY: I am here to ask you that? Some coworker of yours, Terrance came to see me…he was hiding something.
    STEVE: Hiding what?
    CARLY: I am asking the questions here.
    STEVE: Well excuse me!

    CARLY: He was asking the questions to me at the time about the last time I talked to Bo. He proclaimed everything was okay but ever since that visit I have felt like something was wrong with Bo…so tell me the truth. What is up?
    STEVE: Still care about him?
    CARLY: I will always care about him.
    STEVE: I’d like to think that he is okay and just out on a job.
    CARLY: I sense a but coming…
    STEVE: But I cannot say that for sure..
    CARLY: You do not know where Bo is do you?

    Kayla has arrived home.

    KAYLA: Carly…hey…is something wrong with Bo?

    Kayla looks at Steve who looks back at her with sadness in his eyes.

    --

    Cut to a close up of Terrance who is on the phone:

    He is talking to his father Elijah

    TERRANCE: I do miss Union Creek a little bit, but I am adjusting to life here.
    ELIJAH: Happy to hear that son, but I still worry about you there.
    TERRANCE: You do not have to. I am alright.
    ELIJAH: I know you cannot disclose much info but how is your assignment going?
    TERRANCE: Could be a lot better honestly.

    ELIJAH: Are you sure everything is okay?
    TERRANCE: I promise, father.
    ELIJAH: I can’t help but feel responsible for you.
    TERRANCE: You don’t have to anymore.
    ELIJAH: I am not talking about just your safety on this assignment.
    TERRANCE: I know. All is well. I deal with what I have always had to deal with. Dealing with it right now actually.

    Terrance hears some music in the background.

    TERRANCE: Go have fun at that barbecue!
    ELIJAH: Hope you have a fun 4th as well.
    TERRANCE: I’ll try. Catch you later dad.
    ELIJAH: Love you.

    They hang up.

    Zoom out from where Terrance is sitting to reveal that he is sitting on a hospital bed in a hospital room.

    An IV is in him…a blood bag is connected to the IV…

    Back at the strip club:

    Derrick is still on the phone with someone.

    DERRICK: I do not understand how this even happened! You know today is a holiday. So today of all days it would have been nice for everything to arrive on time!

    Derrick’s annoyance grows stronger.

    DERRICK: Figure it out and don’t let it happen again!

    Derrick hangs up and comes out of the back room angry.

    Bob spots him walking to the bar.

    BOB: Everything okay Boss?
    DERRICK: Yes no worries. Just a liquor problem is all.
    BOB: Okay. Hope it gets fixed.
    DERRICK: Me too.

    Derrick takes a seat.

    Bob looks at Jeremy at the bar. He has not drank much of his beer. He is staring at a now different stripper who is on stage. Leering rather creepily…

    --

    At the grocery store:

    JENNIFER: Lucas since we are all here, you should join us and JJ for a little 4th of July dinner.
    LUCAS: I do not want to interrupt your plans.
    DANIEL: That’s too bad. Sorry you cant make it.
    LUCAS: Trying to rush me to say no, Dan? In that case I would love to come!
    JENNIFER: Meet us at our new house in a few then.
    LUCAS: Sounds good.
    DANIEL: Fantastic...

    --

    Angie walks into the hospital room that Terrance is in.

    All the blood from the blood bag is now gone.

    TERRANCE: All over doc?
    ANGIE: Yes. The blood transfusion was a success.
    TERRANC: My favorite six words.

    Angie removes the IV.

    ANGIE: How are you feeling?
    TERRANCE: Much better, thank you.
    ANGIE: You are free to go then.
    TERRANCE: Thank you very much.

    Terrance exits.

    Natalia is in the hall walking with her cane.

    She seems to be struggling.

    TERRANCE: Are you okay mam?
    NATALIA: Yeah. I think maybe I didn’t have enough water today.
    TERRANCE: I could go get you a water bottle real quick..
    NATALIA: I do not want to bother you.
    TERRANCE: You are doing no such thing!

    --

    Jesse, Officer Ramos and other cops are at the scene by the pond with the burnt car.

    Marcino and Greg are watching from a distance.

    JESSE: We need to run this license plate.
    OFFICER RAMOS: I will get on that.

    Jesse looks around the car.

    He then looks inside.

    JESSE: This is horrible. I already know the forensics are going to say that this was lit on fire by someone. Arson.

    --

    At the Johnson house:

    KAYLA: Steve… tell me what is wrong with Bo?
    STEVE: Sweetness, listen, I was hoping to have to never deliver this news.
    KAYLA: What news?

    Steve holds Kaylas hand.

    CARLY: One of Steves coworkers, Terrance was in Arizona awhile back asking me about Bo.
    KAYLA: Terrance?
    CARLY: I could tell by his questions that—
    STEVE: --Carly! Let me tell you both exactly what has been going on. It is probably time that you both should know. Bo has…well, Bo is missing.

    Kayla is in shock. She pulls her hand away from Steve…

    --

    At the strip club:

    Bob pulls Derrick aside. He points to Jeremy at the bar.

    BOB: That guy seems creepy, Derrick. He has just been staring at the strippers all night with no distractions whatsoever.
    DERRICK: My girls are hot here.
    BOB: Yeah but he gives me an uneasy feeling.
    DERRICK: Just another pervert here at triple X!

    Derrick gets distracted as a guy and a girl walk in.

    DERRICK: You two made it!
    GIRL: Sorry we are late.
    GUY: That was my fault. I was…reluctant to come.
    DERRICK: Well change your mood!

    He grabs them each by a hand and walks them to the back room.

    DERRICK: I hope you are both ready for an intense night.

    He takes off his pants and closes the door.

    --

    Terrance and Natalia are sitting down in a hallway at the hospital.

    TERRANCE: You were shot?! What happened?
    NATALIA: It was in the line of duty. I am a cop.
    TERRANCE: Wow. That is admirable.
    NATALIA: Why are you being so nice?
    TERRANCE: I think any decent human being would respect you getting shot in the line of duty and besides, maybe I want to cheer you up.

    He kisses her hand.

    NATALIA: We have a charmer here.
    TERRANCE: Hopefully I can charm you into a quick recovery.
    NATALIA: Wouldn’t that be crazy awesome. I do hope I recover quickly so I can get right back out there.
    TERRANCE: I respect your attitude towards this so much. I hope you are back to doing what you want to do in no time.
    NATALIA: (smiles) Thank you.

    At Jennifers house:

    Lucas is sitting next to JJ.

    Jennifer and Daniel pour themselves some wine.

    DANIEL: Want some Lucas?
    LUCAS: No. You know this.
    JJ: The food is great, Daniel.
    DANIEL: Thank you.
    LUCAS: So JJ how is college here?
    JJ: Going well. Kinda.
    JENNIFER: Just kinda?

    JJ: School is good. My social life not so much.
    LUCAS: Girl problems huh?
    JJ: Yeah, a little.
    LUCAS: Daniel could help you with that I am sure. He’s an expert after all.
    JENNIFER: Okay Lucas, that is enough.

    Marcino and Greg are now at a fireworks display.

    They are watching the fireworks together.


    GREG: I hope whatever happened with that burnt car wasn’t something awful.
    MARCINO: Me too. Let’s try not to worry about it and get lost in these beautiful fireworks.
    GREG: They are pretty great fireworks this year.
    MARCINO: The city is stepping it up. Must have found money from somewhere.

    As the two watch the fireworks sitting on the ledge of some bleachers, Greg starts to inch his hand closer to Marcinos...

    Greg is about to touch Marcinos hand, but Marcino moves it away and runs his hand through his hair.

    Greg decides to move his hand away too…

    Officer Ramos makes his way to Jesses office.

    JESSE: Did you trace the license plate?
    OFFICER RAMOS: Indeed. It belonged to a Bo Brady.

    Kayla is shocked and upset

    KAYLA: Steve how could you keep this from me? Bo is my brother!
    STEVE: We didn’t want to worry anyone. The ISA has been looking for him. I have been looking for him. I thought we could find him.
    CARLY: You have not gotten close?
    STEVE: No.
    KAYLA: I cannot believe this! Don’t tell me Roman and Shane know about this too.
    STEVE: We have been trying—
    KAYLA: --Don’t give me that sh*t Steve! We are all family. I knew something was off with you and Roman, but I didn’t know it was this bad.

    The phone rings.

    Carly and Kayla hug as Steve answers the phone.

    STEVE: Hello Jesse…what? No…

    Carly and Kayla can tell he has gotten bad news.

    He hangs up and looks at them both with pain in his eyes.

    STEVE: the…the cops found Bo’s car. It was burned up.
    CARLY: This is not good.

    Kayla sits down and shakes her head in disbelief.

    Steve sits next to her and puts his hand around her.

    Vin is outside of Psychiatrist Jerri's office.

    He looks inside at the secretary.

    VIN: I’ll just wait here. This is the one Ali was talking to. The one who probably turned her against me.

    He looks back in and glares.

    Vin sees a patient leaving and he charges inside.

    SECRETARY: Excuse me you cannot go back there!

    Vin pushes past her and does.

    JERRI: Excuse me?
    VIN: You and I need to talk.
    JERRI: Who are you?
    VIN: The boyfriend of one of your patients. I want to know where the hell Ali is! Where is she?!

    Jerri is caught off guard as Vin glares on at her.

    PAUL: Yes. Yes you do.
    ELIZA: Oh no! Did I mess something up?

    She drops her face into her hands.

    ELIZA: I don’t even want to know.
    PAUL: You need to know so that you learn from your mistakes!
    ELIZA: Okay, okay. What did I do?
    PAUL: You filed some papers in the wrong folders. A big no no for the papers I need to find.

    He hands her two folders.

    PAUL: Two different material suppliers. Open them both up and see that you mismatched them. What do you think would happen if we send one company the check for another company!
    ELIZA: I am sorry dad. Really. I just need to get used to all this.
    PAUL: I hope you do soon. This should not be happening.

    JJ and Miranda are the two left alone after the music class again.

    JJ: Just you and I here again. We must be the die hards.
    MIRANDA: I guess we are.
    JJ: We have a lot in common you know.
    MIRANDA: I don’t know about that.

    Miranda starts to quickly put her books in her backpack.
    JJ: I enjoyed our jam session last time.
    MIRANDA: Cool.
    JJ: Did you?
    MIRANDA: Yeah but I should get going.

    She stands up.

    JJ: Why are you in such a hurry?
    MIRANDA: Oh you know. Everyone is always in a hurry…with nowhere to go.
    JJ: I think you should stay here with me after class again. I want you to.

    They look on at each other.

    VIN: Are you going to tell me where my girlfriend is?
    JERRI: Why should I know?
    VIN: She is a patient of yours isn’t she?
    JERRI: I do not keep tabs on my patients, sorry young man.
    VIN: Well I at least want to know what you talked to her about.
    JERRI: You know that is confidential.

    VIN: Dammit, you turned her against me didn’t you!?
    JERRI: You need to leave.
    VIN: No! Not until you tell me why she has disappeared.
    JERRI: I have patients to see.

    Vin is getting increasingly more angry.

    JERRI: perhaps you could talk to me about this anger of yours some time.
    VIN: Did Ali tell you I was angry?
    JERRI: No I can just see it right this instance. Please leave or I will have my secretary call hospital security if she hasn’t already.
    VIN: Fine! But I will find her!

    Ali is sitting with another girl, Charlotte.
    CHARLOTTE: Miss Cho is going to be happy to see you coming out of your shell.
    ALI: I have forgotten how to be…friends with others.
    CHARLOTTE: Your boyfriend doesn’t let you have friends does he?
    ALI: He doesn’t say it, but he is always angry when I am with any. Even though they are all girls.
    CHARLOTTE: Some guys just have measly little egos like that.
    ALI: He just wants to control all of me, I guess. I’ve been stupid and lost myself in him.
    CHARLOTTE: You are young. I am sure he took advantage. Some of us are a little older than that and still making those mistakes.

    Another girl, Jacy, sits by them.

    ALI: You are here now though and trying to learn. Did your ex have a broken ego?
    CHARLOTTE: My ex had a broken everything. He is just a creep. Idolized criminals and serial killers. I really think he wants to be like them.
    JACY: That is just creepy, girl.
    CHARLOTTE: It has been a nightmare. You don’t even know.
    ALI: I can’t believe we all have it so bad. What is wrong with us?
    JACY: No girl, what is wrong with them?!

    JJ: What is wrong?
    MIRANDA: Nothing, I should just get home.
    JJ: No something is bothering you. What is it?
    MIRANDA: Okay I feel awkward with you…

    JJ’s heart drops.

    JJ: Why?
    MIRANDA: That whole strip poker incident…you don’t think its awkward I walked in on you two?
    JJ: I can see why you feel uncomfortable, but that was nothing. Truthfully.
    MIRANDA: You keep saying that, but it sure didn’t look that way. It looked like something more was going on between you two.

    JJ is becoming frustrated.

    CARLY: No need to get rude with me Hope.
    HOPE: I am not getting rude.
    KAYLA: Come on you two. This is not the time and my home is not the place!
    HOPE: You are right, Kayla. I am sorry.

    Hope and Carly however share nasty looks at each other.

    HOPE: What is this though? Bo’s ex wives club? Should I call Billie Reed on over?
    CARLY: You are being ridiculous!
    ROMAN: Hope, please listen.
    HOPE: I do not like that Carly is here. ...and before me? If this has something to do with Bo I should have been notified first.
    CARLY: Aren’t you off in another relationship at the present?
    HOPE: None of your business.
    KAYLA: Please stop arguing!

    Steve takes out his harmonic and blows it as loud as possible!

    STEVE: Hope, Listen, this is about Bo and it is bad news.
    HOPE: Oh god…
    STEVE: He has been missing, for...awhile…his car was found burned up yesterday.
    HOPE: What?! Why are you just telling me this now, Steve?!
    STEVE: The ISA was hoping for better news.

    STEFANO: Are you okay? I am starting to think I am a bother.
    GRETA: This is still new to me to find out you are my father…I haven’t had a chance to myself to process it.
    STEFANO: Sorry you feel that way.
    GRETA: How long will you be staying with me?
    STEFANO: So you are already trying to get rid of your old man?
    GRETA: Please don’t try and make me feel bad. This has been difficult.
    STEFANO: I wont be here much longer.

    At the womens shelter:

    JACY: Charlotte, I want to hear more about your crazed ex if its not too hard for you to talk about.
    CHARLOTTE: Why tell you when I can just show you.

    Charlotte lifts up the back of her shirt to show many scars on her back from cuts.

    ALI: Wow. What was he doing to you?
    CHARLOTTE: He would slice me with a knife every time I did something he didn’t like. The things he didn’t like me doing seemed to start happening more and more.
    ALI: Sounds horrible.
    CHARLOTTE: It was.
    JACY: He was white huh? Alis was Mexican and mine black. Bad enough they give old fashion beatings. White guys gotta take that sh*t to a whole new level!
    CHARLOTTE: He sure took it to a new level.

    ALI: Why are there so many psycho guys?
    JACY: No idea.
    ALI: And why do we love them? I still feel like I love Vin and I shouldn’t.
    CHARLOTTE: We just got attached but we have to look within ourselves eventually and see that we have to come to places like this for awhile…and hopefully become strong again.
    JACY: Amen.

    Ali looks on taking her surroundings in…

    AT BRO: Paul comes out of his office.

    He approaches Eliza.

    PAUL: Shouldn’t my 4 O clock meeting be here by now?
    ELIZA: You have a meeting right now?

    Pauls eyes widen as he starts to realize Eliza may have made another mistake.

    PAUL: I was supposed to have a meeting at 4. I told you to schedule it.

    She nervously starts to look through her calendar book.

    ELIZA: Oh no…
    PAUL: What did you do now, Eliza?!
    ELIZA: I’m sorry dad…I double scheduled your meetings at 5.
    PAUL: How did you do that?!
    ELIZA: I don’t know.
    PAUL: This is getting frustrating. I hope Barbara can make one of the meetings. Buzz her office and find out.
    ELIZA: Yes sir.

    Paul puts his hand on his temple and rubs it.

    Cut to JJ and Miranda.

    JJ: I tend to make stupid choices. It is what I do.
    MIRANDA: I am not judging you on the strip poker.
    JJ: I am starting to feel like it was a huge mistake.
    MIRANDA: I just think we don’t understand each other. That is why I should just go. I do not feel like jamming this time. Sorry.
    JJ: It is okay. I understand.

    Miranda leaves.

    JJ: I don’t even know what I am doing anymore.

    He bitterly starts to stuff his books in his backpack.

    IN ENGLAND:

    Greta is listening in on Stefanos phonecall.

    STEFANO: I just need to know you have this under control…you always make slip ups….well just make sure everything is calm….dont worry about Steve.

    GRETA: (Thinks to herself) Why is he talking about Steve?

    STEFANO: Please just keep everything on track….Just do not be a fool!

    At the Johnson house:

    HOPE: You knew about this too Roman?
    ROMAN: I knew my brother had gone missing, yes. I have been trying to help the ISA get to the bottom of it.
    KAYLA: Nobody told me either. Some family...
    STEVE: We were trying our best to find him, first.
    CARLY: I just don’t want to think the worst.
    STEVE: None of us do.

    Just then there is a knock on the door.

    Hope sits down in shock.

    Steve opens the door and it is Jesse.

    KAYLA: Jesse, hey…
    JESSE: Hello sorry to interrupt.
    STEVE: Is something wrong?
    JESSE: I am afraid so.
    KAYLA: What now?
    JESSE: I am sorry but scorched remains were found inside the car.
    HOPE: No...
    ROMAN: Are they Bos?
    JESSE: They are unidentifiable…but we have reason to believe they are his.

    CARLY: This cannot be happening.
    HOPE: No.

    Hope is fighting back tears.

    HOPE: I know what you are all thinking but it is not true. Bo isn’t dead.

    Hope tries to stop herself from breaking down and Roman holds her.

    HOPE: He isn’t.

    Hope breaks down in Romans arms.

    Cut to someone who is inside of the now abandoned house that Steve, Terrance and Jesse checked out.

    The person puts a book in a spot on the empty bookshelf.

    A secret passage way opens up as the Book Shelf turns open!

    This leads downstairs to another room.

    The person unlocks a door at the bottom of the stairs and sets down a tray of food...

















    Bo Brady is inside of the room chained up to the wall!

    The person handing Bo the food is in a mask.

    BO: Instead of bringing me inedible food, bring me Stefano so that son of a b*tch can let me out of here!

    The masked person exits the room and closes the door.

    BO: I have to get out of here.

    He pulls at the chains to no avail.

    Greg walks into the kitchen.

    He opens the refrigerator to see nothing but Milk and ketchup.

    GREG: I guess milk will have to do.

    He pours himself a glass.

    EMILY: What are you talking about?
    PAUL: The company has been opened for a few days now…and do you know how many times you have come to support the company? Oh that’s right, zero!
    EMILY: I didn’t know you needed hands on support like that.
    PAUL: Oh, please Emily! We had a whole discussion and you stated how you were going to be supportive. I found it weird that you changed your tune so quickly, but now I see you were just lying through your teeth.

    CHARLOTTE: When do you plan on going back into town?
    JACY: I hope I have the courage to go back to Paradise soon. I know he will be livid for a long time. Before I ran out of the house and told him I was through with him I also threw my wedding ring right at his face. It was off the chain! Felt great. Cracked me up all the way on my drive here.

    EMILY: Don’t even dear me!

    PAUL: I should have just stayed at work, but then I would never see you.
    EMILY: That would be best. I mean you come in here and call me selfish while at the same time you are crying with this woe is me act.
    PAUL: You—
    EMILY:--No. Let me speak. You say I do not support you, but you support me with nothing. Nothing, Paul.
    PAUL: That is not even true.
    EMILY: It is. I do the housework alone. I had to try and keep this family together while you fell into your broke slump. Not mention we haven’t had sex in months! Where is the support there?

    PAUL: I just wanted some answers.
    EMILY: I would like some answers myself, why have you become all about you?
    PAUL: I guess you finally rubbed off on me….zing.

    Paul is about to leave.

    EMILY: You know Paul, I am about to just give up on you completely!
    PAUL: Give up huh? That is what you have always done with your life. Why stop now?

    Paul exits and slams the door behind him.

    Emily lets out a yell in frustration. She looks like she is about to cry.

    EMILY: I should just leave him.

    [1:44] Bart is still on the phone with Stefano.

    BART: Before you get here what should I do?
    STEFANO: Just hang tight and prepare for my arrival.
    BART: I am prepared boss.
    STEFANO: Someone else will be joining us.
    BART: Who?
    STEFANO: Someone who has become a great help keeping me out of the hands of American authorities.

    Stefano cackles

    [2:00] Back downstairs, Bo is drinking some of the water.

    BO: I hope he keeps bringing this to me so I have some energy.

    He continues to pull at the chains. His wrists are bruised and cut up.

    BO: If the ISA isn’t going to find me. I have to rely on myself to get free.

    He yanks the chains again. One of them does seem to be loosening from the wall a bit.

    BO: Have to keep at this every day.

    Zoom in on the chain starting to loosen in the wall…

    Jesse and Angie are sitting together at their home.
     
    Jesse is feeding Angie a grape.
     
    JESSE: Feeling like a queen yet?
    ANGIE: You are doing a good job of making me feel like one.
    JESSE: I am just glad we actually have a day off together!
    ANGIE: I know. It has not been happening much.
     
    Jesse kisses her on the cheek.
     
    She returns the favor with a kiss on the lips.
     
    JESSE: Juicy.
    ANGIE: That’s the grapes.
    JESSE: Nope. Definitely your lips, Angie.
     
    They kiss again and fall back onto the couch.
     
    --
     
    Chavo and Greg come to see
    Vin.
     
    Vin seems to be in a great mood.
     
    CHAVO: This is a change of pace for your mood, Vin?
    VIN: Yeah I am in a better mood because things are looking up, guys!
    GREG: Does this have something to do with Ali?
    VIN: Of course it does.
    CHAVO: Has she finally come to see you again?
    VIN: Not yet, but she has agreed to come and talk to me!
    CHAVO: Really?
    VIN: Yes.
     
    GREG: How did you get a hold of her?
    CHAVO: Yeah, Where was she?
    VIN: Don’t worry about it guys. The only thing that matters is that she has agreed to see me!
     
    Vin smiles.

    Bart arrives at the coffee shop.
     
    He goes inside and looks at the menu.
     

    HUNTER: Hi sir. What would you like?
    BART: Something strong. I did not sleep well. I have these nervous bouts.
    HUNTER: That sucks. I have some espresso that will get you ready to go.
     
    Meanwhile, The odd Jeremy is inside sitting at a table.
     
    He looks up and see Bart.
     
    His eyes get big…
     
    JEREMY: Could it be?!
     
    Jeremy continues to stare at Bart.
     
    Bart turns and sees Jeremy staring at him but turns back around waiting for his coffee.
     
    JEREMY: Oh my god. I know him…
     
    --
    Cut to Steve, Kayla,
    Roman, Hope and
    Carly.
     
    ROMAN: We need to consider the big possibility here.
    HOPE: No we don’t.
    CARLY: I’d like to agree with Hope actually.
    HOPE: You don’t have to go there, Carly.
     
    STEVE: I don’t know how I feel about this.
    KAYLA: Me either.
    ROMAN: It is the facts though. Remains were found in Bo’s charred car. The cold hard truth is that we may have to declare Bo dead.
    HOPE: Dammit, Roman no. I am telling you I would know if he was dead.
    CARLY: Can we really go off of one of your hunches though?
    HOPE: I am his wi…well I was his wife. I should get to make this decision.
    CARLY: I was once Bo’s wife too.
     
    STEVE: I have to agree with Hope. I am not ready to declare him dead. There is still too much we do not know.
    ROMAN: What else do you want to know?
    STEVE: You need to find out who was in charge at the ISA for Bo’s case.
    KAYLA: The ISA is really dropping the ball here. It has me uncomfortable.
    STEVE: I agree sweetness. Something continues to smell fishy.
     
    --
     
    Cut to an alive Bo.
     
    He is still tied up in chains against the wall.
     
    He continues to try and pull at the chains but his wrists have become extremely bruised and cut up.
     
    BO: This is getting so painful.
     
    He looks on at his wrists.
     
    BO: I don’t know how much longer I can keep up this pulling.
     
    His energy level seems to have dropped a lot.
     
    BO: I’m losing blood from these cuts. What a nightmare. What am I going to do?!
     
    He looks on in distress…
     
    At the womens shelter:
     
    Charlotte walks up to Ali.
     
    CHARLOTTE: Please tell me you are not seriously considering leaving here to meet your as*hole ex…
    ALI: I need to break up with him once and for all. Besides, I told you this in confidence so please keep it down.
    CHARLOTTE: I don’t believe that you plan on breaking up with him if you go see him.
    ALI: I left so quietly and meekly. I want to do better.
    CHARLOTTE: I just know how this goes. I fell for it a lot too. You cannot let him talk you into these types of things.
     
    Ali sighs.
     
    CHARLOTTE: Can I show you something?
    ALI: Of course.
     
    Charlotte goes and grabs her purse.
     
    CHARLOTTE: Look at this picture of my ex. I have an X through it with a marker.
     
    She hands Ali the picture and Ali looks at it.
     
    CHARLOTTE: It is a reminder to myself to know that I am away from him for a reason. Perhaps you should try something similar to remind yourself.
     
    Ali continues to look at the picture.
     
    --
     
    Back at the Hubbard house:
     
    Angie is cleaning up a little. She looks over at Jesse who is lost in thought.
     
    ANGIE: Earth to Jesse! What is on your mind?
    JESSE: Natalia and her wanting to come back to the force.
    ANGIE: You should just take that a little at a time. She is going to have to take small steps herself.
    JESSE: I don’t think she should come back to the force. I do not want this to happen to her again.
    ANGIE: She is already making strides though, Jesse. You cannot just shut out the possibility of her coming back to the force completely.
     
    JESSE: She is still in the hospital Angie.
    ANGIE Not for long.
    JESSE: …What do you mean? Is my baby getting released soon? (he smiles)
    ANGIE: More than soon. She is getting released today!
    JESSE: Why are you just telling me this now?
    ANGIE: She wanted it to be a surprise. In fact, She may be showing up her soon…
     
    --
     
    At the coffee shop:
     
    Jeremy is still looking at Bart.
     
    Jeremy gets up, but then he sits back down. He seems very nervous and fidgety.
     
    JEREMY: Should I approach him?
     
    He stands up.
     
    JEREMY: I should probably think twice about bothering him.
    He sits back down.
     
    Hunter hands Bart his coffee and Bart exits the place.
     
    JEREMY: Crap, I missed my chance.
     
    However, a huge grin comes over Jeremys face.
     
    JEREMY: This is purely amazing.
     
    He gets up and leaves the coffee shop seeming giddy…
     
    --
     
    Cut to chained up Bo.
     
    As he sits there in his chains he looks straight ahead.
     
    He has a flashback:
     
    Bo is in his car.
     
    He makes a phone call.
     
    BO: Hello…Agent Donnelly…Yes this is Agent Bo Brady. I have made some progress on this. Yes…but I think I need some back up. This could start to get dangerous if my hunches are right.
     
    AGENT DONNELLY: Alright Bo. I will be sending two agents for back up. They will arrive by tomorrow.
     
    BO: Thank you. I just know this will be linked to Stefano. It always is.
     
    Bo hangs up.
     
    He then looks towards a house. The house he happens to be chained up in now...
     
    BO: Could this be Dimera property?
     
    Bo comes back into the present. He puts his head down as he sits there dejected.
     
    --
     
    Steve is sitting with Terrance, Roman and Hope.
     
    STEVE: Roman and Terrance we need to find out which head at the ISA was in charge of Bos investigation.
    TERRANCE: I’ve tried and it has not been easy.
    ROMAN: That is because you are a little guy on the totem pole.
    STEVE: Roman. Please find out the info for us.
    ROMAN: I will try, Steve.
     
    Roman walks off and takes out his phone. Roman seems frustrated.
     
    Carly and Kayla look at him.
     
    CARLY: Is your brother okay?
    KAYLA: I don’t know. I don’t know if any of us are right now.
     
    HOPE: Steve, I wish you guys could find out some really needed info.
    STEVE: We will Hope.
    TERRANCE: We have been working hard, but it is like someone has been keeping us back.
    STEVE: Yup. Something shady is going on with the ISA.
    HOPE: Whatever it is, if it got Bo in danger, you two need to be careful.
     
    --
     
    Natalia has arrived at Jesse and Angies house.
     
    Natalia walks in with her cane.
     
    JESSE: Baby be careful. Do you need help?
    NATALIA: I am good, dad.
    ANGIE: She has started to get back around great.
    JESSE: This is so good baby. You are a fighter for sure.
    NATALIA: I was taught well. I was worried you were still upset with me dad.
    JESSE: I am not upset with you.
    NATALIA: Good.
    JESSE: I am thrilled for you that you are alive and recovering!
     
    Jesse embraces his daughter.
     
    JESSE: Get in here Angie!
     
    Angie piles in for a group hug.
     
    --
     
    At the womens shelter:
     
    CHARLOTTE: I am not getting through to you am I Ali?
    ALI: I just feel like I should do this.
    CHARLOTTE: Im glad I tried. Maybe you should at least talk to Miss Cho before you leave.
    ALI: You know I plan on coming back after right?
    CHARLOTTE: I hope you get to.
    ALI: Don’t say that!
    CHARLOTTE: Just please talk to Miss Cho before you leave and meet with Vin.
     
    Charlotte walks off.
     
    Charlotte starts to put the picture of her ex with the X through it back in her purse.
     
    Zoom in on the picture….It is a picture of Jeremy!
     
    --
     
    Jeremy arrives at his house.
     
    He rushes to his bedroom.
     
    He opens his closet door. There are no clothes in his closet. There are pictures and articles taped to his wall in the closet...
     
    He starts to look over them.
     
    He has pictures of Charles Manson, James Stenbeck, and Roger Thorpe.
     
    The articles on his wall are of Jeffrey Dahmer, Sheila Carter, Carl Hutchins, and Reginald Love.
     
    He then gets to a picture with Stefano, Kate Roberts and Lucas. And then a picture of Stefano and Bart.
     
    JEREMY: Yes! There it is! That was him!
     
    He smiles at the picture of Stefano and Bart and then looks at an article next to it on Stefano. He then runs his hand over all of the pictures and articles...
     
    JEREMY: Such brilliant minds…I need to be like them…
     
    --
     
    At The Johnson/Brady house:
     
    Terrance feels woozy and stumbles a bit.
     
    STEVE: Woah there, dude!
    KAYLA: Are you okay, Terrance?
    TERRANCE: I am fine..
    KAYLA: Are you sure?
    TERRANCE: Yes I think I just need something to eat, I am starving.
    STEVE: I’ll see what is in the fridge.
     
    Roman meanwhile is still on his phone looking at something.
     
    Hope goes and stands by Kayla.
     
    HOPE: This is hitting your brother hard, though he probably won’t admit it.
    KAYLA: Yeah something is up. Seems like something is eating him up.
     
    Roman gets up and walks outside.
     
    He looks back through the window at Steve and Kayla by the refrigerator.
     
    He takes a deep breath.
     
    --
     
    Bo has another flashback:
     
    Bo is at the house he found suspicious. (The one he is now locked up in)
     
    Bo looks at his watch.
     
    BO: I thought they were sending me back up today? Where are they?
     
    He walks out from behind the house.
     
    He looks towards his car.
     
    BO: What the hell?!
     
    Bo heads back to his car quickly. Someone is inside his car!
     
    He gets to the car to see that the person inside is unconscious.
     
    BO: That’s an agent!
     
    He is about to open the door but someone whacks him in the head from behind!
     
    That knocks Bo out cold…
     
    Cut back to the present to a frustrated Bo.
     
    BO: How did I let this happen!?
     
    He yanks at his chains
     
    --
     
    Meanwhile, Upstairs in the house.
     
    Bart has arrived back.
     
    Bart hears a voice… “Hello Bart”
     
    Bart jumps as he turns and sees Stefano standing inside!
     
    Bart drops his keys.
     
    BART: Stefano!
    STEFANO: I told you I was coming.
    BART: We-welcome sir.
    STEFANO: And as promised I am not alone. One of the people that has helped us immensely has come to meet us here too.
     
    The person walks into the room…

    Paul knocks on Barbaras office.

     

    BARBARA: Come in?

    PAUL: I can’t do this.

    BARBARA: What do you mean? What’s wrong, son?

    PAUL: It has been chaos today. So many shipments of possible materials.

    BARBARA: Material is important. We need the right ones.

    PAUL: I know. I know that you want your designs to be perfect in every way.

    BARBARA: I sure do.

     

    PAUL: I just did not get much sleep at all.

    BARBARA: Why not?

    PAUL: Emily.

    BARBARA: Trouble in paradise? Why am I not surprised?

    PAUL: A lot of trouble. We had a giant fight.

    BARBARA: I don’t know why you put up with that woman. She has not supported you one bit with this company.

    PAUL: I let her have it.

    BARBARA: Good.

     

    --

     

    Cut to Vin who is looking at his watch.

     

    Vin is outside near a busy park.

     

    VIN: Where is she?

     

    He looks around.

     

    VIN: She wanted to make sure and meet in public, well here I am!

     

    Ali has arrived at the park as well.

     

    VIN: There is my beauty.

     

    Ali slowly walks up to him.

     

    VIN: Can I hug you?

    ALI: No.

    VIN: Okay…

    ALI: Thank you for agreeing to meet me in public.

    VIN: Thank you for agreeing to meet me, period. It is so good to see you.

    ALI: Yeah, I am glad to see you to so I can give you this…

     

    Ali slaps Vin hard right across the face!

     

    Vin looks on shocked…

    JJ is with his mother, Jennifer .

     

    JJ: You didn’t have to bring me over a whole meal.

    JENNIFER: You ate like a king though didn’t you?

    JJ: I did. Thanks mom.

    JENNIFER: I’m sure school work doesn’t give you a chance to cook your own meals.

    JJ: Not at all.

    JENNIFER: Then I am happy to help..

    JJ: Now don’t get sad or anything but at first I was a bit disappointed that you were moving here too, but I think it’s really cool that you and Daniel came here.

    JENNIFER: That’s sweet son.

     

    She hugs JJ.

     

    --

     

    Cut to Steve and Terrance .

     

    TERRANCE: Are you sure he is meeting us here?

    STEVE: Yes. Agent Donnelly should be on his way.

    TERRANCE: And you are sure he was the one in charge of Bo’s mission to find Stefano?

    STEVE: That is the info that Roman was able to get.

    TERRANCE: Well then Agent Donnelly has some explainin’ to do.

    STEVE: I just hope he has some info that we can work with.

    TERRANCE: That is the idea.

    STEVE: I just hope he gets here soon.

     

    --

     

    Bart has arrived at the house that Bo is being held in.

     

    Bart hears a voice… “Hello Bart”

     

    Bart jumps as he turns and sees Stefano standing inside!

     

    Bart drops his keys.

     

    BART: Stefano!

    STEFANO: I told you I was coming.

    BART: We-welcome sir.

    STEFANO: And as promised I am not alone. One of the people that has helped us immensely has come to meet us here too.

     

    The person walks into the room…

    That person is Doctor Daniel Jonas.

     

    BART: Wait…what?

    DANIEL: Stefano, good to see you back.

     

    Daniel and Stefano shake hands.

     

    BART: Doctor Jonas has been helping you?

    DANIEL: I have indeed.

    STEFANO: And what a great help he has been. (Cackles)

     

     
     
    Jennifer is still with her son at his apartment.

     

    There is a knock at the door.

     

    It is Eliza .

     

    ELIZA: Hi JJ…and JJs mom.

    JENNIFER: Hey there! I am still thankful that you helped us around when we first got to town.

    ELIZA: It was no problem.

    JJ: What brings you by?

    ELIZA: Well I just got off from a stressful day at work and wanted to see if you would like to go out for some coffee?

    JENNIFER: Sound good to me, I was just about to head home and wait for Daniel to get off of his first day at the hospital.

     

    Jenn winks at JJ.

     

    JJ: Well then I guess I am all free for coffee.

    ELIZA: Awesome!

    JENNIFER: I will see you both later.

    ELIZA: Shall we head out now too?

    JJ: Works for me.

     

    --

     

    Agent Donnelly is now with Steve and Terrance.

     

    AGENT DONNELLY: This is about Bo right?

    STEVE: Of course it is.

    TERRANCE: Were you in charge of his mission?

    AGENT DONNELLY: I was the go to agent at the top, yes.

    STEVE: We want to know all about Bo’s case.

    AGENT DONNELLY: I am certain they have debriefed you on the important parts.

    TERRANCE: What do you consider the non important parts?

     

    AGENT DONNELLY: Are you two grilling me like I have something to hide?

    STEVE: I just want to know everything that Bo was doing. If you were the agent he kept going to with all his info, then you will know.

    AGENT DONNELLY: I brought my computer for this very reason. I can show you all of Bos log journals that I have.

    TERRANCE: Perfect!

    STEVE: Do other higher ups in the ISA know that you are willing to give this info?

    AGENT DONNELLY: I just want to show that I have nothing to hide.

     

    He clicks on some files that pop up.

     

    But what pops up is: ITEMS NOT FOUND.

     

    AGENT DONNELY: No damn way. They’ve been deleted!

     

    --

     

    Cut to Daniel with Stefano and Bart.

     

    BART: When did this partnership begin? Blows my mind.

    STEFANO: Don’t lose what little of it you have left.

    DANIEL: I would say our partnership goes way back.

    STEFANO: You see, Bart, I have known Daniel since he was a child. He had been adopted by some friends of mine who lived in Aremid.

    DANIEL: Oh yes. The people of Salem just think I am Maggies damn egg baby and I am, but I was adopted by some folks who were close to Stefano and the Blakes. I was good friends with Peter when he was a child.

    STEFANO: It has been brilliant, Bart. They have no clue of this connection between Daniel and me.

    DANIEL: I have even duped everyone in Salem with them practically thinking I am like a god.

                                                                                                            

    STEFANO: This man right here, took care of one problem in Jack Deveraux.

    DANIEL: I sure did. Found out he was on the look for Stefano and locked him up in Colorado. I started drugging him up and now the guys head is completely fried.

    BART: I thought he escaped.

    DANIEL: He did, but he is no problem now. I saw on the article from the Union Creek Chronicle that this John Doe at their hospital has amnesia. It was about him I am sure. The drugs worked better than I ever imagined.

    STEFANO: Brilliant.

     

    --

     

    Vin holds his face from Ali’s slap.

     

    VIN: Have you been practicing that or something. Sure does sting.

    ALI: I felt like I had to do that.

    VIN: I understand.

    ALI: …You do?

    VIN: Yes. I understand your need to do that to me. I have not been kind to you.

    ALI: No you have not.

    VIN: I just want to prove I want to change. The old Vin would have become an angry monster after that slap.

    ALI: Yes…true…

     

    VIN: Please just come back to my place so we can talk this out.

    ALI: I don’t want to be alone with you. That is why I wanted to meet in public.

    VIN: We won’t be alone. Chavo and Greg are there waiting for me. You get along with them.

    ALI: I just cant trust you.

    VIN: Please Ali. Look at me. I am not mad. I just want to talk…

    ALI: Fine…

    Katsu arrives at BRO.

     

    He sees Barbara and Paul talking in Barbaras office.

     

    KATSU: Perfect.

     

    Katsu goes downstairs and walks outside through a back door.

     

    There is a semi-truck parked outside.

     

    Derrick is out there too.

     

    KATSU: I am glad you made it on time.

    DERRICK: Of course I did. We have been working towards this.

    KATSU: Well let’s unload.

    DERRICK: Make it quick.

     

    Derrick goes into his truck and pulls in near the semi.

     

    Derrick and Katsu start to unload boxes from the semi onto the back of Derrick’s truck…

     

    --

     

    JJ and Eliza arrive at the coffee shop.

     

    JJ: Ladies first.

     

    JJ opens the door for her.

     

    ELIZA: You really think I am a lady? Pffft.

    JJ: Perhaps not.

    ELIZA: But thank you. Glad to see chivalry isn’t completely dead.

     

    They walk inside.

     

    Miranda is also there!

     

    JJ spots her right away. His heart seems to sink to his stomach.

     

    It sinks even further down when he sees that Miranda is laughing it up with the barista, Hunter .

     

    MIRANDA: You are pretty funny.

    HUNTER: Happy to amuse you.

    MIRANDA: Amused I am.

     

    JJ stares on at the two and Eliza notices…

    Cut to a frustrated Steve.

     

    STEVE: What the hell do you mean that Bo’s log journals have been deleted?

    AGENT DONNELLY: I seriously do not know what happened.

    TERRANCE: You know this just looks sketchy.

    AGENT DONNELLY: I am sure it does, but I really don’t know how this happened.

    TERRANCE: You best be playin’.

    STEVE: You better not be some kind of double agent.

     

    Steve grabs him but his collar.

     

    TERRANCE: Don’t get worked up Steve.

    STEVE: No. This is ridiculous. The ISA is supposed to be this hi tech government associates and this kind of stuff keeps happening.

    TERRANCE: I know it is frustrating.

    AGENT DONNELLY: Maybe I can get the log journals to be found somehow.

    STEVE: I don’t even know what to say anymore. I am sick of this sh*t! I cant even trust the ISA anymore. I quit!

     

    Both Terrance and Agent Donnelly cannot believe hearing this..

     

    --

     

    STEFANO: I just could not let Jack nor Bo find me.

    BART: Thank sweet baby Jesus they didn’t.

    STEFANO: And all over tax fraud.

    DANIEL: The great Stefano Dimera was not going to go down for that.

    STEFANO: I am glad we are taking care of our problems.

    BART: How are you going to take care of Bo downstairs?

    STEFANO: I will think of something.

    DANIEL: We are in a good place right now with all of this.

    STEFANO: Yes we are. There is no chance in hell that I am going down because of f*cking taxes!

    Katsu and Derrick continue to unload boxes from a semi behind BRO into the back of Derricks truck.

     

    DERRICK: Is that all of them?

    KATSU: I believe so.

    DERRICK: Tremendous.

    KATSU: You should get out of here.

    DERRICK: Yeah, but you need to check it first.

     

    Katsu and Derrick get into the back of Derricks truck.

     

    Katsu opens one of the boxes a bit.

     

    He pulls out…a brick of cocaine!

     

    KATSU: Looks perfect to me.

    DERRICK: We are on the brink.

    KATSU: Aren’t we though?

    DERRICK: Going to own this town…

     

    --

    Chavo and Greg are at Vins place.

     

    GREG: Do you really think he will be able to get Ali to come here?

    CHAVO: Probably.

    GREG: I kind of hope not.

    CHAVO: If he does I bet he wants us to leave.

     

    Just then Vin and Ali arrive.

     

    VIN: Hey bros.

    ALI: …Hi guys

    GREG: Hey Ali

    CHAVO: How are you two?

    VIN: I am hoping we are going to be really good. Can you two give us some privacy?

    CHAVO: I told you, Greg.

    GREG: Yeah.

    ALI: I would like it if they stay.

    CHAVO: We probably should go though.

    VIN: Yes, we will be fine.

     

    Fear starts to come across Ali’s face.

     

    GREG: See you guys later.

     

    Greg and Chavo leave…

     

    Ali: I thought you would respect my wishes to not be alone with you.

    VIN: Shut up.

     

    Vins whole demeanor completely changes.

     

    VIN: How dare you slap me and then try and disrespect me by not wanting to be alone with me!

     

    Vin grabs her. Ali screams!

     

    Outside, Greg is about to get in the car with Chavo but hears Ali scream.

     

    He hears Ali say “No! Please!”

     

    Greg turns around and goes to the house.

     

    He looks inside to see Vin about to hit Ali.

     

    He has a flash of his dad and then has a flash of his mom with a black eye.

     

    GREG: Dammit Vin!

     

    Greg rushes inside.

     

    GREG: Don’t!

    VIN: This doesn’t concern you, Greg!

    GREG: Oh yes it does.

     

    Greg goes at Vin and with all his might punches him square in the jaw knocking Vin out cold!!

     

    Vin hits the ground.

    Jesse walks into an office.

     

    The office of Police Chief Jones .

     

    CHIEF JONES: Welcome Jesse

    JESSE: Hello Sir

     

    They shake hands.

     

    CHIEF JONES: What brings you by this evening?

    JESSE: I have been trying to get this one on one meeting with you for a while.

    CHIEF JONES: Sorry it has taken so long. I took a much needed vacation.

    JESSE: Do you feel rested?

    CHIEF JONES: Ready to take on the city!

    JESSE: Wonderful then I hope you will like my fundraiser Idea.

    CHIEF JONES: Fundraiser? The forces fundraiser already happened earlier in the year.

     

    JESSE: Not that fundraiser. A different one. I want the city to put on a fundraiser for the city itself and I was hoping you would help out.

    CHIEF JONES: That is certainly…different.

    JESSE: The rough part of the city would become better with some help.

    CHIEF JONES: You really think that?

    JESSE: I do. They need their own community center.

    CHIEF JONES: You really don’t think a community center would put a stop the gangs or something do you?

    JESSE: I most certainly do chief.

     

    Chief Jones looks on doubtful…

    Lucas is home.

     

    He takes a seat and lets out a sigh of relief.

     

    LUCAS: Good to be home. What a day.

     

    His phone rings.

     

    He answers.

     

    It is Emily

     

    EMILY: Hello Lucas…

    LUCAS: Hey…

    EMILY: Are you busy?

    LUCAS: Not really.

    EMILY: Good because I need to see you quick!

    LUCAS: I didn’t plan on going anywhere.

     

    EMILY: Are you home? I can go see you there.

    LUCAS: I don’t know about that.

    EMILY: Come on. Please. I need to talk to you.

    LUCAS: Only if it is an emergency!

    EMILY: It is.

    LUCAS: Fine. 326 Dayton Street.

    EMILY: Be there shortly.

     

    They hang up.

     

    LUCAS: I guess I won’t be getting to rest.

     

    --

     

    Steve returns home.

     

    Kayla , Hope and Carly are there.

     

    KAYLA: Any Luck?

    STEVE: Sorry to say, but no. Not at all.

    HOPE: The ISA doesn’t have any information? How is that possible?

    STEVE: Because something dirty is going on!

    CARLY: You really think so?

    STEVE: I am sure of it. That is why I quit!

     

    KAYLA: You quit?!

    STEVE: I had to sweetness.

    KAYLA: You know that I am happy you finally did.

    HOPE: How will we find info on Bo then?

    CARLY: Yeah. Good question.

    STEVE: We will have to do it on our own. It is not like the ISA was much help anyway.

    Cut to Daniel and Stefano

     

    STEFANO: We have a lot of important things to discuss.

    DAN: We sure do.

    STEFANO: We must go over what our next step will be.

    DAN: I was hoping we can discuss Jennifer.

    STEFANO: I said important things to discuss.

    DAN: She is very important to me.

     

    STEFANO: I do not know why.

    DAN: I do love her you know.

    STEFANO: She is not good luck for the ones she loves, you should know.

    DAN: I plan on changing that.

    STEFANO: Do not let Jennifer Horton get in our way.

    DAN: You do not have to worry about that.

    Meanwhile, Greg looks inside Vins house.

     

    He sees Vin about to hit Ali

     

    He has a flash of his dad and then has a flash of his mom with a black eye.

     

    GREG: Dammit Vin!

     

    Greg rushes inside.

     

    GREG: Don’t!

    VIN: This doesn’t concern you, Greg!

    GREG: Oh yes it does.

     

    Greg goes at Vin and with all his might punches him square in the jaw knocking Vin out cold!!

     

    Vin hits the ground.

     

    Chavo comes rushing in.

     

    CHAVO: What are you thinkin’ bro? What are ya doin’?

    GREG: He should not have his hands on Ali.

    ALI: Thank you, Greg.

    GREG: I don’t know what came over me.

    ALI: I should not have trusted him again. Why am I so stupid?

    GREG: You are not.

     

    CHAVO: When Vin comes to, he is going to want to kill you, Greg.

    GREG: Yeah he will.

    ALI: He is going to be livid. We have to get out of here.

    CHAVO: I am not leaving him.

     

    Vin starts to move a bit.

     

    ALI: I have to go.

    GREG: Come with me.

     

    Ali and Greg run out of the house…

     

     
     

    At the police station:

     

    CHIEF JONES: I’m not sure you are thinking hard about this fundraiser.

    JESSE: Listen, my daughter was shot by a gang member. This is really all I can think about.

    CHIEF JONES: We need to stop the gangs by cracking down on them harder with arrests.

    JESSE: …and a lot of them get off or get slaps on the wrists and go right back to the gangs. We need to take care of these kids before they turn to gangs. A community center and a lot of help will work.

    CHIEF JONES: I respect your drive to help, but these are just ideals. Dreams, really.

    JESSE: We won’t know until we try.

     

    CHIEF JONES: You have my support.

    JESSE: Thank you.

    CHIEF JONES: BUT, you are going to run into problems

    JESSE: How so?

    CHIEF JONES: You need to learn about this city more.

    JESSE: I know it has its share of problems.

    CHIEF JONES: More than you know.  You better start to learn something about city politics.

     

    --

     

    Emily is now at Lucas place.

     

    EMILY: Thank you for inviting me over.

    LUCAS: Wasn’t quite an invite.

    EMILY: I know. I’m sorry.

    LUCAS: Well what is this big emergency?

    EMILY: My husband and I had a huge fight yesterday.

    LUCAS: How exactly can I help with that?

    EMILY: I don’t even want to stay there with him tonight.

     

    LUCAS: Sorry, but I am not going to invite you to stay here…

    EMILY: I wouldn’t ask that.

    LUCAS: Phew.

    EMILY: The thing is my marriage could really be ending and if it is I do not want to be left with nothing.

    LUCAS: I don’t think he can take you for everything.

    EMILY: The Ryans will try. I just want and need a job.

    LUCAS: You don’t give up do you?

    EMILY: I will beg if I have to.

    LUCAS: Like on your knees begging? (smirks)

    EMILY: Here goes nothing

    LUCAS: No! I’m kidding. I’m not Daniel Jonas.

    EMILY: Just please give me that job!

     

    --

     

    Cut to Daniel and Stefano

     

    DAN: You know, I heard about Jennifer way back. I had some talks with Peter before his incarceration.

    STEFANO: I didn’t know you two stayed close when you got older.

    DAN: We did get out of touch, but I’m glad we reconnected. He loved Jennifer too.

    STEFANO: Yeah at one point he did. That didn’t turn out well for him either.

    DAN: I can now just say that I understand why he loved Jenn.

    STEFANO: He would not be happy to hear you two were an item.

     

    DAN: I think he would understand.

    STEFANO: Well Daniel I am glad that you are in love and all, but I would like to get down to business and figure out the next step in keeping myself a free man.

    DAN: Fine. Any ideas?

    STEFANO: Always.

     

    --

     

    At the Johnson house:

     

    KAYLA: There is still a possibility that Roman will find some info for us.

    STEVE: Not if he is using ISA contacts.

    CARLY: You are really down on the ISA right now.

    STEVE: I think someone has infiltrated them. Probably Stefano himself.

    KAYLA: I should warn Roman.

    STEVE: Roman isn’t listening.

     

    HOPE: This is just ridiculous. I cannot believe all of this is happening and at Bos expense.

     

    Hopes phone rings.

     

    CARLY: That your boyfriend, Aiden?

    HOPE: Don’t worry about it.

     

    Hope looks at her phone.

     

    HOPE: I don’t know this number.

     

    She answers. It is Greta

     

    GRETA: Hope…this is Greta Von Amberg.

    HOPE: Greta? Wow. Long time.

    GRETA: It has been. I have been trying to get ahold of Bo but cannot. I called the Brady pub and Caroline gave me your number.

    HOPE: Why were you trying to get in touch with Bo?

    GRETA: Because Stefano has been here in England.

    HOPE: Stefano?

     

    This perks Steve, Kayla and Carlys ears.

     

    GRETA: Yes. He has been trying to say he is my father.

    HOPE: I hope that is not true.

    GRETA: Oh me too. I do suspect he is back in the states now though. I wanted to let Bo know.

    HOPE: Are you sure of that?

    GRETA: Almost certainly.

    HOPE: Greta you are a miracle caller. We could use your help…

     

    --

     

    Greg is dropping Ali back at the womens shelter.

     

    ALI: Thank you for the ride…and for everything really.

    GREG: I am sorry if Vin has been abusing you all of this time.

    ALI: I can’t believe I have put up with it.

    GREG: You have to promise me not to fall for his words anymore.

    ALI: I know now. I guess I just learn things the hard way.

     

    GREG: It is great that you are in a shelter. I wish my mom would come here.

    ALI: Does your father do something to your mom?

    GREG: It is a long story.

    ALI: I am sorry if so.

    GREG: Yeah me too. I better leave though and figure out where I am going to go myself.

    ALI: Thank you so much. Good luck. I hope Vin doesn’t come after you

    GREG: Good luck to you too.

     

    Ali hugs him.

     

    --

     

    Jesse is still with Chief Jones.

     

    CHIEF JONES: I think you should discuss this with the city council, though You will probably get turned down.

    JESSE: I would hope they wouldn’t do that.

    CHIEF JONES: I want a pair of your rose colored glasses.

    JESSE: I guess this town is worse than I thought.

    CHIEF JONES: It can get worse, but I wish you luck. This is commendable.

    JESSE: Thank you. I’ll see what happens. I am determined.

     

    --

     

    At Lucas House

     

    EMILY: So do you want me to beg for the job or not?

    LUCAS: You do not have to beg.

    EMILY: So I am hired?

    LUCAS: I do like this tenacity of yours.

    EMILY: I hoped you would.

    LUCAS: You have a job!

    EMILY: Thank you so much, Lucas.

     

    She hugs him tight.

     

    EMILY: I will be a great employee and I hope to be a good friend to you like you are to me.

    LUCAS: I guess I’ll go to you when I have an (puts his hands in air quotations:) emergency.

    EMILY: Yes. Please do..

     

    --

     

    Greg meanwhile has shown up outside of Marcinos house.

     

    GREG: I hope he is here. Answer my texts man!

     

    Greg texts Marcino again to please come outside.

     

    Marcino does come outside.

     

    GREG: Can we please talk?

    MARCINO: Of course, man. Something wrong?

    GREG: Yes, very. I need your help.

    MARCINO: Come inside. We’ll talk in my room.

     

    They go inside..

     

    --

     

    At the Johnson house:

     

    KAYLA: What exactly did Greta say?

    HOPE: Stefano has been in England and says he is her father and now she seems sure that he is back in the states.

    STEVE: I wonder if he could even be near.

    CARLY: He could be.

    STEVE: I don’t know who to go to with this info since I quit the ISA. I’d rather they not know anyway.

     

    HOPE: What about Roman?

    STEVE: I’ll discuss it with him.

    CARLY: Can we even trust Gretas word?

    HOPE: Yes we can. You do not even know her so don’t make any assumptions.

    CARLY: I just want us to do the best for Bo.

    HOPE: We will do the best for him because I think he is still out there….somewhere…

    KAYLA: Greta really could be a great help.

    STEVE: Do you think she will help with whatever we need her to?

    HOPE: I think so..

    CARLY: She better.

     

    --

     

    Back to Daniel and Stefano

     

    DAN: I do wonder why you do not just kill these people that get in your way.

    STEFANO: That is too simple, my friend. Nothing is worth it unless it is a part of the game. If I am going to win I want to win my way. Besides, I do not get my hands dirty.

    DAN: You could just have Bart kill them.

    STEFANO: Please, Bart is practically a puppy. He is only good to have around because he listens well.

    DAN: Well I have an idea you will like. I know just how to get Bo out of your hair and stay a free man.

     

    STEFANO: What do you have in mind?

    DAN: It is simple, really. We just use my drug concoction again.

    STEFANO: The drug you used on Jack Deveraux?

    DAN: Precisely. I have come up with an amazing drug right there.

    STEFANO: Yes, it fried all of Jacks memories.

    DAN: And we can do the same to Bo.

    STEFANO: I love it, Daniel. Make more of your drug and get ready.

     

    Stefano cackles

    NURSE: Did it go well?

    TERRANCE: Perfect.

    NURSE: Hope you feel better.

    TERRANCE: I plan on it.

     

    Terrance walks around the corner of the hallway and there sits Natalia

     

    NATALIA: Hey!

    TERRANCE: We should probably try and stop running into each other at a hospital of all places.

    NATALIA: Yeah, that is true. Are you feeling okay?

    TERRANCE: I am doing fine. And how are you doing with your physical therapy?

     

    Natalia stands up and starts walking.

     

    TERRANCE: No sh*t! Look at you!

    NATALIA: It is so good to be able to move again.

    TERRANCE: So happy for you. I knew you could do it!

    Paul is the last one at the offices. Or so it seems.

     

    Katsu walks into Pauls office.

     

    PAUL: Thank you for coming Katsu

    KATSU: I figured it had to be important if you wanted to see me this late.

    PAUL: I hope I didn’t take you away from any business.

    KATSU: I am always involved with some business.

    PAUL: A business man through and through. That’s why I came to you. Came to the best.

     

    KATSU: What can I help you with?

    PAUL: I think you may already know.

    KATSU: So soon?

    PAUL: Yes. I need your help again…

    At the womens shelter:

     

    Ali is with Charlotte and Jacy

     

    ALI: I should have listened to you, Charlotte.

    CHARLOTTE: Please don’t start beating yourself up of all things.

    JACY: I want to know what happened, girl?

    ALI: Well I did see Vin…and when I did I slapped him. Gave him a taste of his own medicine.

    JACY: That is what I like to hear! Good on you.

     

    ALI: It went bad from there though. I stupidly listened to him. I met him in public because I knew he couldn’t hurt me there, but he convinced me to go back to his place. Said his friends were there so we wouldn’t be alone.

    CHARLOTTE: They were not really there?

    ALI: They were, but as soon as we got there he had them leave and that is when he just changed. Changed back to his abusive self. He was going to hit me. Thank god his friend came back in and hit Vin!

    JACY: Vin still got what he deserved then!

    ALI: Yeah, but why did I even agree to meet with him. What is wrong with me?

     

    --

     

    Cut to Vin looking at his mouth and lips in the mirror.

     

    Chavo is also there.

     

    VIN: Cannot even believe this sh*t.

    CHAVO: I am shocked by Gregs actions.

    VIN: I told him it was none of his business and he comes in here..and …and sucker punches me! How dare him!

    CHAVO: I’ll have a talk with him.

    VIN: Oh I will do much more!

     

    CHAVO: I can tell how angry you are about this.

    VIN: Anger doesn’t even begin to describe what I am feeling. So many mixed emotions. There is only one thing to do. You need to find him.

    CHAVO: I’ll try and get a hold of him.

    VIN: Good. Because when we find him. I am going to kill that bastard.

     

    Vin pulls out his gun!

     

    -

     

    Greg is with Marcino in Marcinos room.

     

    MARCINO: Dude, what is wrong?

    GREG: I have been messing up for a while now, man.

    MARCINO: What do you mean?

    GREG: I don’t want to tell you. I don’t want you to judge me.

    MARCINO: I would never judge you. You know that.

     

    GREG: Well I have been hanging out with some rather, shady guys for a lack of better term. A gang I guess you can say and I think I just pissed the leader off.

    MARCINO: A gang? What the hell?!

    GREG: Yes I know, but I said, don’t judge.

    MARCINO: Not judging. Just shocked is all. How did you piss him off?

    GREG: Punched him in the face and knocked him out.

    MARCINO: Oh…well I can see why he is pissed!

    GREG: I had a good reason. He was about to hit his girlfriend.

     

    MARCINO: Sounds like scum.

    GREG: I don’t know why I befriended them. They live in my neighborhood and reached out and now I am all caught up in this. He is going to kill me!

    MARCINO: I would hope he wouldn’t go that far.

    GREG: You don’t understand! He is not the most stable guy in the world! He is going to come after me and I do not know what to do!

     

    Marcino puts his hand on Gregs shoulder as they sit together on Marcinos bed.

     

    MARCINO: First you have to calm down.

     

    Greg pleads into Marcinos eyes.

     

    GREG: I’m…I’m really afraid of what Vin will try and do to me.

    MARCINO: I know, but we can think of something.

     

    Greg continues to gaze in Marcinos eyes.

     

    GREG: You really have a calming effect on me.

     

    Suddenly Greg kisses Marcino!

     

     
     

    At the hospital:

     

    TERRANCE: You finished with physical therapy here for the night?

    NATALIA: Yes. It went well.

    TERRANCE: You know, even though we keep running into each other here at the hospital we don’t have to stay here.

    NATALIA: If you have somewhere to go, you should.

    TERRANCE: No I mean we should go somewhere and hang out together.

     

    NATALIA: I would like that.

    TERRANCE: How bout some drinks? We can go celebrate your great recovery!

    NATALIA: Let’s do it!

    KATSU: Are you sure it is time for this?

    PAUL: I am sure

    KATSU: You know we have to time this perfectly.

    PAUL: I know, but we are running out of time.

    KATSU: Yeah you’re right.

    PAUL: I have complied with all of your demands. You even get your own shipment which could be something that could get me in deep trouble.

     

    KATSU: Don’t worry about what I am having shipped in.

    PAUL: I am not worried.

    MARCINO: That is what friends do.

    GREG: What about the hug at the pond before we found the burnt car?

    MARCINO: It was just a hug!

    GREG: It was not just a hug, but if you want to be in denial, fine!

     

    MARCINO: I’m sorry if I…If I gave signs or whatever..

    GREG: It was a mistake coming here. I have to go.

    MARCINO: What about the crazy gang guy after you? Where are you going to go?

    GREG: I don’t know but I need to leave here. This is just awkward now.

    MARCINO: Don’t feel like that.

    MARCINO: You cannot just run away.

    GREG: Watch me.

     

    Greg starts to leave, but Marcino grabs him and pulls him back in holding his arm.

     

    They are now face to face.

     

    MARCINO: Don’t leave.

    GREG: Why not? If you don’t want me to leave admit that you have been giving me signals and feel the same way I do…

     

    Greg looks Marcino in the eyes and Marcino shifts his eyes downward.

     

    GREG: If not then let me go.

     

    Marcino lets go of Gregs arm.

     

    Gregs walks off and exits

     

    MARCINO: Dammit Greg! Why did you have to go and do all of this?

    JJ: It was no problem. I hope the rat doesn’t bother you any longer.

    Henry and Barbara are now making out on the bed.

     

    The carrots and ranch dressing tray is still on the bottom of the bed.

     

    Henry’s foot accidently knocks the tray to the ground!

     

    BARBARA: Oh no!

    HENRY: I’m sorry Babs.

    BARBARA: I hope that dressing doesn’t leave too much of a stain.

    HENRY: I am sure the maids will take care of it.

    BARBARA: They are going to hate me.

    HENRY: They’ll live!

     

    Henry goes back to kissing Barbara..

    KATSU: I want to know the answer to something?

    PAUL: What is that?

    KATSU: Before your father died why did he go to great lengths to hide this money from you or from everyone?

    PAUL: Besides the fact that he was a crazed individual?

    KATSU: I guess…

     

    PAUL: My father and I had a tumultuous relationship.

    KATSU: Sorry to hear.

    PAUL: Don’t be. Because I am about to have the last laugh!

     

    Katsu hands Paul the fake document.

    He exits his brothers room and walks past his parents room.

     

    He looks in at his mom and his dad.

    At the college:

     

    Miranda and JJ see each other in the hallway.

     

    JJ yawns a tad over dramatically.

     

    MIRANDA: Is that your way of saying you are tired?

    JJ: I am pretty beat.

    MIRANDA: I did not mean to keep you up last night. So sorry about my scream.

    JJ: I thought you were under attack.

    MIRANDA: I practically was by that rat!

     

    JJ: Did you buy a trap yet?

    MIRNADA: Haven’t gotten around to it.

    JJ: You better or it might pop back out at you!

    MIRANDA: Don’t say that!

    BARBARA: Slow down there Eliza

    ELIZA: I need all the caffeine I can get.

    BARBARA: You didn’t sleep good last night?

    ELIZA: Last night? Grandma, I haven’t slept well since I started this job.

    BARBARA: Honey, you cannot let this place stress you out.

     

    ELIZA: Not just this place. My dad is a big part of it.

    BARBARA: Paul is stressed out himself. We all are.

    ELIZA: I just feel like I am always doing a jumbled bad job as my father’s secretary.

    BARBARA: It will probably just take time to get the hang of it.

    ELIZA: I just need a good pep talk.

    BARBARA: I’m not the best coach, but get to those phones and kick some a**!

    BRITTANY: Are you not hungry? It is going to get cold.

    MARCINO: I am just not in the mood for breakfast.

    BRITTANY: You love breakfast, son.

    MARCINO: I know. Just not today.

     

    BRITTANY: Something must be wrong.

    MARCINO: No. I’m fine.

    BRITTANY: But are you sure?

    MARCINO: Yes, I am fine!

    BRITTANY: Sorry, but I don’t believe you. Something is obviously bothering you.

    Steve is pleased when Terrance meets with him.

     

    STEVE: I didn’t think you would actually meet me.

    TERRANCE: Of course. We are partners.

    STEVE: Well not anymore since I quit the ISA.

    TERRANCE: Yeah, but we have come too far to stop working together now.

    STEVE: That’s a true bud right there.

     

    They shake hands.

     

    TERRANCE: I plan on seeing this case through.

    STEVE: So do I dude.

    TERRANCE: What is the next step?

     

    There is a knock at the door.

     

    STEVE: That is the next step right there.

     

    Steve opens the door and it is Hope

     

    HOPE: Hello

    STEVE: Come on in. We need your help.

     

    Hope enters.

    Barbara is still talking with her granddaughter.

     

    ELIZA: I’m not improving though.

    BARBARA: You are totally new to the job.

    ELIZA: Totally new to working in general.

    BARBARA: Give it time, Eliza! You’ll get the hang of it.

    ELIZA: I’m losing hope.

     

    Barbara’s office phone rings.

     

    ELIZA: I bet that’s my dad.

     

    Barbara answers it.

     

    BARBARA: Hello. Yes…okay.

     

    She hangs up.

     

    BARBARA: That was Paul. He wants you at your desk ready to work.

    ELIZA: Yay (rolls eyes)

    BARBARA: good luck.

    ELIZA: We need to have these talks more often.

    BARBARA: Whenever, hon.

     

    As Eliza exits Barbara’s office, Henry enters it.

     

    BARBARA: Henry! Didn’t you get enough of me last night?

    HENRY: I never get enough of you pudding pop.

     

    Henry kisses her.

    JJ: So…Miranda…I have a question for you..

    MIRANDA: What is it?

    JJ: It is a little personal…

    MIRANDA: Okaaay…

    JJ: So I saw you and that guy that works at the coffee shop looking real chummy.

    MIRANDA: Hunter?

     

    JJ: Yeah, him.

    MIRANDA: What about him?

    JJ: You two dating or something?

    MIRANDA: Um, No. We’re just friends getting to know each other.

    JJ: Oh…

    MIRANDA: Why do you ask?

    JJ: Oh because he…just seems like a really good guy and all.

    MIRANDA: Yeah he seems to be. So…you saw us? You were watching us?

     

    --

     

    BRITTANY: Please Marcino, open up to me son…

    MARCINO: I wish you would take my word for it that I am fine.

    BRITTANY: But you are obviously not.

     

    Marcino takes a big bite of his breakfast.

     

    MARCINO: There. See. I am fine.

    BRITTANY: No need to be a smarta**

    MARCINO: I just don’t want to talk about it and if you keep nagging me you will be bothering me.

     

    Brittany is becoming frustrated.

     

    BRITTANY: Is this all because School is about to begin?

    MARCINO: Sure mom.

     

    --

     

    HOPE: What is it that you need me to do, Steve?

    STEVE: We are going to trap Stefano.

    TERRANCE: We are?

    STEVE: Yes.

    HOPE: How are we going to go about that?

     

    STEVE: First, you must contact Greta. She is this key to this.

    HOPE: Okay I will then.

    TERRANCE: She is the one that may be Stefanos daughter? Will she help?

    HOPE: She has no love loss with Stefano.

    TERRANCE: They could be close now.

    STEVE: I don’t think so. At least I hope not. Her help will be huge in trapping him.

     

    --

     

    At the college:

     

    MIRANDA: I find it weird if you were watching me and Hunter.

    JJ: Watching is not the right word. It is not like I was staring, I just happened to see you both having fun and thought..those are two good people…having fun…how cute.

    MIRADA: Alrighty.

    JJ: Sorry if it was a weird personal question.

    MIRANDA: It is okay. I should get to class.

    JJ: Okay. Good luck.

    MIRANDA: I am starting to think all of our encounters are always going to be awkward..

     

    She walks off.

     

    JJ sighs.

    Steve gets home and Kayla is there.

     

    KAYLA: Any luck?

    STEVE: I hope I am doing the right thing not using the ISAs help.

    KAYLA: You will do the right thing.

    STEVE: I hope this is not all for nothing. I hope Bo is really still alive and out there somewhere.

    KAYLA: We all are hanging on to that.

    STEVE: I feel like time is running out either way.

     

    KAYLA: I believe my brother is still alive. Hope does too. You are not doing this for nothing.

    STEVE: We’re about the take the next step. It will involve Stefano if all goes right.

    KAYLA: You better be careful.

    STEVE: You know I will, sweetness.

     

    The two kiss and embrace.

    ELIZA: Please god, not another busy day.

     

    She answers.

     

    ELIZA: Hello this is the office of Paul Ryan.

     

    The person on the other line has a deep voice.

     

    “I need to set up a meeting with Paul Ryan.”

     

    ELIZA: His schedule tomorrow is almost wide open. What time can you meet him?

     

    “Perfect. The meeting is not for me. It is a meeting for him to meet with a Todd Manning.”

    At the high school:

     

    Marcino is in class looking miserable.

     

    He has a flashback:

    Just Paradise #19

     

    Greg has kissed Marcinos who is caught off guard

     

    Marcino starts to get into the kiss…but then abruptly pulls away and stands up!

     

    MARCINO: What are you doing, Greg!

    GREG: What do you mean what am I doing? Kissing you.

     

    Marcino wipes her mouth

     

    MARCINO: Um…why?

    GREG: Because the moment was building to that.

    MARCINO: I have no idea what you are talking about.

    GREG: This is crazy.

    MARCINO: This IS crazy dude! I am not into dudes.

    GREG: Uh, yeah you are.

    MARCINO: How are you going to tell me what I am into?

    GREG: You have been giving me signals for so long now. You know you have. Don’t even try and deny it!

     

    Back in the present Marcino sighs.

     

    MARCINO: I hope you are okay Greg. Wherever you are.

     

    A girl sits down in the desk next to him.

     

    MARCINO: Hey Claire

    CLAIRE: What up Marcino? You look upset.

    MARCINO: I guess I just don’t want school to be starting already.

    CLAIRE: Join the club.

    MARCINO: Hopefully I’ll shake off these first day of school nerves…

    CLAIRE: I hope you do too.

    Paul meanwhile is in his office at BRO and makes a phone call to Katsu

     

    PAUL: Hey I just wanted to see how everything is going.

    KATSU: So far, so good.

    PAUL: That is nice to hear.

    KATSU: I am in the beginning stages of getting this in motion.

    PAUL: Sounds good. This will be a big weight off of my shoulders.

    KATSU: Glad I can assist you this.

    PAUL: Thank you for all of your help.

    KATSU: It is no problem, really.

    Lucas is there.

     

    LUCAS: Welcome to your new job.

    EMILY: Thank you. The pleasure is all mine. Looking quite forward to being in business mode again.

    LUCAS: That ah-girl.

    EMILY: So like, do I get my own office?

     

    Lucas chuckles.

     

    LUCAS: You think you are ready to move up to your own office already?

    DANIEL: It is a little dark in here.

    STEFANO: Keeps people from looking in.

    DANIEL: Good point.

    STEFANO: What brings you by?

    DANIEL: I come with some good news. Something I think you will be pleased with.

    STEFANO: You know how to come through Mr. Jonas.

     

     
     

    Paul is lost in thought in his office.

     

    He flashes back to when he was much younger…

     

     
     

    PAUL: I thought I had killed my damn father way back then, but that nine lived cat was still alive. Now I am happy his life went on longer, because it let him set up this secret bank account in someone else’s name. Now that he really is dead, I can get my hands on this stash.

     

    Paul lets out a smile.

     

    PAUL: I hope Katsu pulls this off soon. That secret stash is mine.

     

    --

     

    Cut to Daniel and Stefano

     

    STEFANO: So please, by all means tell me this good news.

    DANIEL: I think you know what it is.

     

    Suddenly, Stefano’s phone rings.

     

    He looks and sees that it is a call from Greta.

     

    STEFANO: I have to take this.

    DANIEL: Take this too. I have to get back home.

     

    Daniel hands Stefano a little box…

     

    …Elsewhere in the house, Bart meanwhile is putting on a mask.

     

    He heads downstairs with some water for Bo

     

    A weak Bo looks up.

     

    BO: I am thankful for that water. The only reason I have the little energy I have left.

    BART: Well drink up. You’re welcome.

    BO: You know what else I would be thankful for?

    BART: What’s that?

    BO: Is if you would let me the hell out of here!

     Billy is at Brittany’s house hanging out.

     

    BRITTANY: You are still not bored here in Paradise, yet?

    BILLY: Is this your nice way of telling me I should get a job?

    BRITTANY: Maybe… (giggles)

     

    Someone pounds on the door!

     

    BRITTANY: Geez hold your horses!

    BILLY: Who the hell is that?

    BRITTANY: I don’t know.

     

    Brittany opens the door and it is Greg’s father, Bubba

     

    BUBBA: Where is your son?!

    BRITTANY: Uh, at school.

    BUBBA: Well where is my son then?

    BRITTANY: Your son? Greg? Why would I know?

    BUBBA: Greg and your son are like best friends. He ran off somewhere and I am sure your son knows where!

    BRITTANY: I doubt he does.

     

    Bubba starts to get increasingly angrier.

     

    BUBBA: Listen here you dumb blonde!

    BILLY: Don’t talk to her like that!

    BUBBA: I don’t know who you are and I don’t care.

     

    Billy walks up to him and points at him.

     

    BILLY: You need to calm down, sir.

    BRITTANY: Yeah you do. We have no idea where your son Greg could be.

     

    Bubba swats Billy’s finger away and walks off

     

    BUBBA (Muttering) Whatever.

    At Mad World:

     

    Lucas is giving Emily a tour.

     

    EMILY: You have some nice offices here.

    LUCAS: That is why we made the move. Was a perfect fit.

    EMILY: I am going to love it here.

    LUCAS: I just hope that you can help our advertising.

    EMILY: That is the plan. In fact the plan is to do big things here!

    LUCAS: Well then what are you doing standing around? Get to work!

     

    Lucas lets off a grin.

     

    EMILY: Ha-ha Very funny.

     

    Meanwhile, Paul is trying to call Emily.

     

    He has called her but it went straight to voicemail.

     

    Paul hangs up.

     

    PAUL: Those old thought reminded me of how much I use to worry about her. Care for her. These days we hardly even talk. Maybe we really are headed for a divorce…

     

    --

     

    Daniel comes home and he and Jennifer embrace.

     

    JENNIFER: How was work?

    DANIEL: It went well. A great success even.

    JENNIFER: Nice positivity.

    DANIEL: How was your day?

    JENNIFER: Could have been better.

    DANIEL: What’s wrong?

    JENNIFER: I went through some of the boxes I haven’t unpacked yet…saw some old things of… Jacks.

    DANIEL: Oh.

     

    JENNIFER: Sorry. Don’t want to make you feel uncomfortable.

    DANIEL: Not uncomfortable at all.

     

    Daniel kisses her on the cheek and walks off.

     

    DANIEL: I am famished.

     

    As he walks away, the expression on his face is that of being annoyed…

     

    --

     

    Masked Bart is still downstairs with Bo.

     

    BART: You know I cannot let you go.

    BO: It was worth a shot.

     

    Bart walks back upstairs quickly.

     

    BO: That is okay, because I am somehow going to get out of here.

     

    He guzzles his water and then yanks at his chains.

     

    BO: Getting more loose every day.

     

    He yanks at the chains again.

     

    --

     

    Stefano is on the phone with Greta

     

    GRETA: I want to come and see you, father.

    STEFANO: I don’t think that is a good idea.

    GRETA: We have so many years as father and daughter to catch up on.

    STEFANO: This is just not a good time, Greta.

    GRETA: It will be a short visit.

    STEFANO: Fine you can come for a short while.

    GRETA: I look forward to it.

    STEFANO: Yeah…

    GRETA: See you soon, father.

     

    Stefano hands up and is very annoyed.

     

    STEFANO: I hope whatever is in this stupid box will cheer me up!

     

    He opens it and Stefano is pleased.

     

    Bart walks into the room and takes off his mask.

     

    STEFANO: Very good.

    BART: What is that?

    STEFANO: The drug concoction that Daniel used on Jack Deveraux.

     

    Stefano pulls out a full syringe.

     

    STEFANO: We will now use it on Bo Brady.

    JACY: I am so ready to get back! Can’t wait!

     

    Jacy smiles with nothing but elation.

    Cut to a frustrated Vin

     

    He is with Chavo

     

    CHAVO: I wish you would not work yourself up.

    VIN: That is a bit impossible.

    CHAVO: Why?

    VIN: Because it is so frustrating that we still cannot track down Ali nor Greg. They both deserve so much revenge done to them.

    CHAVO: Why are you even doing this? Why do you care?

    VIN: Are you serious right now bro? Because they both disrespected me so damn hard!

     

    CHAVO: No I mean why do you even care about this kind of life? We both know that you--

    VIN: --Do not question me Chavo! Just shut up and let me focus.

     

    --

     

    At the park:

     

    MIRANDA: So tell me how you plan on saving the world?

    HUNTER: Can we not talk about that right now. I think we need to have more fun.

    MIRANDA: What kind of fun?

    HUNTER: See those sprinklers on over there? Let’s run through them.

    MIRANDA: I didn’t realize we were eight.

    HUNTER: Oh come on! Feel a little free.

    MIRANDA: I do not want to get my clothes all wet.

    HUNTER: Well you can be boring and stay here. I am going on through!

     

    Hunter gets up and walks to the sprinklers.

     

    Miranda ends up following him.

     

    They both start to run through them getting wet.

     

    HUNTER: See! This kind of feeling is something people should not lose..

    Jesse is still with Angie but he gets up.

     

    JESSE: Sorry, but I really need to get to the city council meeting.

    ANGIE: Already?

    JESSE: It is an early one.

    ANGIE: And I don’t get no smooch?

     

    Jesse kisses her on the cheek.

     

    ANGIE: That is not going to do it!

    JESSE: Oh yeah?

    ANGIE: Nope.

     

    Angie kisses his lips.

     

    Jesse then starts to kiss her all over her face.

     

    ANGIE: Okay, okay! You win.

    JESSE: I hope those kisses were good luck.

    ANGIE: Me too, baby.

    Cut to Todd and Paul’s meeting.

     

    TODD: So I am a journalist and that is how I came across this company.

    PAUL: And you want to do a big piece on BRO?

    TODD: Something like that. I’ll need you to come to Colorado for this piece though.

    PAUL: I checked out your paper and it has a strong online following so why do I need to go to Colorado? Can’t you just interview me right here right now?

    TODD: It is not that easy. I do a more hands on approach.

     

    PAUL: Thank you for the offer and all, but I am not too keen on going to Colorado right now. I have a company to run.

    TODD: You are not seeing the bigger picture Paul. You may want to see if you need glasses. Where I live, in Union Creek Colorado there is some new big competition for you that just opened.

    PAUL: Are you talking about that little small stream Chic Spirit Designs?

    TODD: You are not giving them enough credit. I am offering you a step ahead on this competition. Do not take them lightly.

    PAUL: It would be a good publicity for us.

    TODD: I thought you may see things my way.

    PAUL: But….I still don’t want to go to Colorado.

     

    Todd becomes obviously frustrated.

     

    --

     

    At the women’s shelter:

     

    Charlotte and Ali are now alone.

     

    CHARLOTTE: I think maybe we both can leave here too.

    ALI: I do not need to go run into Vin and probably get killed.

    CHARLOTTE: We live in a big city we can move somewhere far away from our exes.

    ALI: There is still always a chance.

    CHARLOTTE: A small one. We came move in together and be roommates. Split everything. It can work.

    ALI: I like the idea and wish I could, but I don’t know if I want to chance it.

    CHARLOTTE: Well at least think about it.

    ALI: Okay…

     

    --

     

    Vin is still agitated.

     

    CHAVO: I am going to go get us some weed so you can calm down.

    VIN: No! I would rather we take my frustrations out another way.

    CHAVO: Yes I know you want to kill Greg, but I don’t know where he is.

    VIN: There is something else we can do.

    CHAVO: What’s that yo?

    VIN: Let’s go rob another gas station!

     

    --

     

    At the park: Hunter and Miranda are now soaked.

     

    MIRANDA: That was crazy. You are crazy. What are we doing?

    HUNTER: Having fun. I am at least.

    MIRANDA: Nah, I am too.

    HUNTER: I really do have fun every time I hang out with you.

    MIRANDA: Aww I do too. You and all of your craziness.

    HUNTER: I’m the least crazy person in this town, probably.

    MIRANDA: I’ll be the judge of that.

    HUNTER: Ready for round 2 in the sprinklers?

    MIRANDA: No.

    HUNTER: (Laughs) I’m kidding.

    Eliza and JJ are eating lunch together.

     

    ELIZA: Have you been avoiding me JJ?

    JJ: I am going to be if this continues to be a grill JJ day.

    ELIZA: But for real. You do seem to be.

    JJ: Just been busy with school.

    ELIZA: I think I know what is wrong…

    JJ: Tell me oh wise one.

    ELIZA: Back when we played strip poker….my booty game was too strong. I get it.

     

    JJ: (laughs) What?

    ELIZA: Don’t deny it. And now you are intimidated.

    JJ: You are crazy.

    ELIZA: But I got a laugh out of you.

    JJ: Yeah you are good for that.

    ELIZA: I am good for a good time. I wish you would stop fighting it and just admit you have good times when you hang out with me.

    JJ: You are never not entertaining that is for sure. Never a dull moment with Eliza.

    ELIZA: And don’t you forget it! I’ll take that as a yes you do have a good time.

    JJ: I do. It’s true…

     

    --

     

    Todd is frustrated with Paul.

     

    TODD: Are you sure about this?

    PAUL: I just do not have the time right now. I’m sorry. I do appreciate it.

     

    Todd has a flashback:

    [Union Creek #21]

     

    He is with Gary and an alive James Stenbeck…

     

    TODD: And when I find him?

    JAMES: Bring him to me.

    GARY: But don’t let him know why you want him here. Make it seem like something for the paper.

    JAMES: Honestly, I don’t care how you get him here. Just get him here and soon!

     

    Back in the present:

     

    TODD: You really should reconsider…because I know thing about you.

     

    Paul gives his a questioning glance.

     

    TODD: Things about you that you would definitely not want out.

     

    Paul’s face becomes flushed.

     

    PAUL: So what the hell is this? Blackmail?

    TODD: It could be if you do not come to Union Creek Colorado with me.

     

    Paul smirks and tries to play it all off with a poker face.

     

    TODD: You are acting way to smug for guy who could lose everything. I know what you have been doing.

    PAUL: What do you think you know, Mr. Manning?

    TODD: Enough games. I know that you have been forging documents.

    PAUL: Oh….

    TODD: Yeah. So let me ask you again. Have you reconsidered Mr. Ryan?

    PAUL: Yes I will come to Colorado and do the stupid article…or whatever it is you really want from me..

    TODD: Atta boy!

    EMILY: And with what money are you going to get that?

    ELIZA: It would be nice if you and my dad would help out.
    EMILY: You know we have been struggling financial wise for awhile now.

    JESSE: I am just so angry and frustrated this happened.

    ANGIE: Well I called Brot.
    JESSE: I am glad you did that.
    ANGIE: He is in shock too. I wish he and Natalia didn’t break up. It would be good for her if he was around during this.
    JESSE: I just hope my baby can hang on.

    ANGIE: I think she will eventually make a complete recovery.
    JESSE: I hope you are right.
    ANGIE: You have to stop beating yourself up tho. Please.

    Cut to Jennifer and Lucas

    JENNIFER: I really want to move out of Salem. I would like to move here, to Paradise.
    LUCAS: I think you should and hope that you do! But wait, I hope that doesn’t mean Daniel is going to be coming along with you.
    JENNIFER: Actually, he probably would come with me.
    LUCAS: Damn. I do not like the sound of that. I thought I finally escaped having to see his face on a regular basis.

    JENNIFER: Hey, be nice.
    LUCAS: Sorry, but you know how I will always feel about him. I don’t know what you see in him. He’s sure no Jack.
    JENNIFER: I know he is no Jack. And I know you may think I moved on from Jack’s death too soon, but I still think about him on a daily basis. Daniel is not just some substitute. I love him.
    LUCAS: I know that love is a crazy thing.
    JENNIFER: I guess it is.

    MIRNADA: I hope you are too though.
    JJ: I try.

    MIRANDA: Are you excited for any of your upcoming classes?
    JJ: Not really. I’m no scholar. The only classes I am looking forward to are my classes that involve music.

    JJ: Wow. Awesome!

    Cut to an upset Eliza

    ELIZA: It is really no fair that I cannot get my own place!
    EMILY: You cannot rely on me and your dad for that. You live here for free.
    ELIZA: You guys can give me some of that loan he got.
    EMILY: I probably won’t even see any of that loan he got.
    ELIZA: Sure. Such a liar.

    EMILY: Eliza, if you want to move out so bad why don’t you get a damn job? There is an idea.
    ELIZA: This house is so annoying. All I do here is hear you and my dad fight. Maybe I should go visit my REAL mom!
    EMILY: Yeah, good luck there. Gonna be hard getting money from a psyche ward!
    ELIZA: I cannot believe you just went there.

    Eliza storms out of the house and slams the door so hard a picture falls off the wall!

    KATSU: Well let’s get this show on the road then shall we. I am not a hard sell.

    LUCAS: Well good. Don’t be a stranger.

    She exits and goes to her car.

    She sits inside and takes a picture out. It is a picture of her and Jack with her kids JJ and Abby when they were younger.

    JENNIFER: I miss you Jack, but you would be so proud of us all. Your family. I am moving forward with life and plan to have a great future in a new town. Abby has a great job and a great future there. JJ is going to a great college and has a good future. I think our family has finally made it over the hump.

    ANGIE: I hope you can get some rest tonight.
    JESSE: Don’t count on it.

    PAUL: I resent that. So much!
    EMILY: You should be putting some of this loan away.

    EMILY: But you have to be smart.

    PAUL: I am Emily. I am already making connections.
    EMILY: Business connections?
    PAUL: Yes. Don’t sound so surprised. I have been in business many times before.
    EMILY: So have I, Paul and you are going about this all wrong.
    PAUL: You are just upset that I am resurrecting my mothers company.
    EMILY: Yes, I really don’t know why you are doing that. You should be going into business for yourself and your family.

    At the Ryan House

    EMILY: Don’t you knock Barbara?
    BARBARA: I did. You probably couldn't hear it over all your hollering.
    PAUL: Mom! I am glad you are here.
    BARBARA: Hello son.
    EMILY: You should warn me before she just drops in, Paul.
    PAUL: I didn't know she was coming so soon.

    BARBARA: I figured I would just…drop in. I know Emily hates surprises. I also can tell she is not happy BRO is coming back.
    EMILY: Not quite. I just don’t like that he took out a loan strictly for this even though we have been struggling.
    BARBARA: Well you won’t be struggling anymore. BRO will come back with a vengeance. Now if you want to take your negative attitude outside for some air I would love to talk to my son alone.

    Emily gives both of them dirty looks.

    EMILY: Whatever

    STEVE: No reason to worry about me.
    KAYLA: I really hope you are doing less for the ISA. You cannot do this kind of dangerous work forever.
    STEVE: I swear I am almost retired. Soon enough Kayla.
    KAYLA: I just don’t want to lose you again

    CARLY: I sure hope so.
    TERRANCE: I do need to know what you two talked about.
    CARLY: How do I even know you are who you say you are?
    TERRANCE: I already showed you my badge. You can call his brother Roman or his friends Steve and Shane if you want.
    CARLY: I find this all highly suspicious, but all I know anyway is Bo was on some mission. It involved the Dimeras. It almost always does.
    TERRANCE: Good to see Bo followed protocol and didn’t tell you too much.

    Terrance gets up.

    TERRANCE: Well I won’t bother you any longer. Bo truly is fine though.
    CARLY: Better be telling me the truth or I will track you down!
    TERRANCE: Thank you for your time.

    He exits and walks to his car.

    TERRANCE: Oh man, almost blew that.

    However all of a sudden the loading stops.

    STEVE: It shouldn't be stopping.

    STEVE: This cannot be happening. Someone must have gotten to Bos computer and taken the chip out.

    Steve slams his laptop closed.

    He pulls her aside.

    PAUL: What is wrong mother?
    BARBARA: I feel weird about him.
    PAUL: Weird? Why?
    BARBARA: Chalk it up to a feeling. I have become a good judge of character at my high in wisdom age. This is not my first rodeo clown meeting.
    PAUL: Katsu is a cool guy and more importantly a great business man.
    BARBARA: Okay, doesn't make me any less worried about doing business with him.

    Katsu looks over at them from across the room.

    Barbara fake smiles and waves at him..

    LUCAS: Sounds good to me.
    EMILY: Thanks for making my day better, Lucas.
    LUCAS: Glad to help.

    She exits

    You can tell that her wheels are turning as she is lost in thought.

    ALI: I don’t know about this.
    JERRI: I know you are afraid of new situations but this is a better situation for you right now.
    KAYLA: Jerri is right. I thank you for letting me try and help you as well, Ali. I know it wasn’t easy to open up.
    ALI: I am thankful for how much you both care.
    JERRI: We do and this is what we think is best.

    KAYLA: We should go in.

    BARBARA: You are really getting everything right this time around.
    PAUL: I am trying to.

    Emily arrives.

    EMILY: You really are doing a good job, Paul.

    Paul is surprised to see her.

    PAUL: That is a shock coming from you.
    EMILY: I know. I have been very hard on you lately. It is starting to make me feel left out.
    BARBARA: As it should.
    EMILY: (turns to Barbara) I don’t need any peanut gallery comments.
    BARBARA: I don’t know why not. You are the elephant in the room.

    EMILY: I came to talk to Paul…and to apologize.
    PAUL: An apology?
    EMILY: Yes. I have been ridiculous about your decision to start BRO. I need to support you and I will support you.
    PAUL: Emily, It is great to finally hear you say that again.

    Emily kisses Paul.

    At the Park:

    GREG: I would prefer to not talk about my trash of a father.
    MARCINO: I won’t push the issue. Just thought maybe venting would help a little.
    GREG: I know. There is just nothing to talk about. My father is a miserable human being and my mother puts up with him.
    MARCINO: I feel stupid now bringing up my petty issues.
    GREG: No don’t. We all feel how we feel. Nothing wrong with it.

    MARCINO: I hope I can be as strong as you some day.
    GREG: Ha! I am not strong.
    MARCINO: Yes you are bro.
    GREG: Believe me. I am not at all. I just have a hell of a poker face.

    MISS CHO: Hello sweet girl.
    ALI: Hi..
    KAYLA: She is feeling uncomfortable.
    MISS CHO: That is to be expected.
    JERRI: I think once she befriends some of the other girls here she will feel better about being here.

    MISS CHO: They are all out back. We will go see them.
    ALI: I kinda want to be alone right now.
    KAYLA: You will have your own room here.
    MISS CHO: Yes she will. We can go to it.
    ALI: I would like that.

    The 4 ladies head up stairs.

    At the hospital:

    NATALIA: (Whispers) What..what happened that night dad?
    JESSE: There was a shoot out between some damn gangs.
    NATALIA: (Whispers) I do remember some of that.
    JESSE: Yeah and one of the stray bullets hit you.
    NATALIA: (Whispers) I am glad I do not remember that.
    JESSE: I am just glad you pulled through baby.

    NATALIA: (Whispers) I did dream about you and Angie looking over me.
    JESSE: Angie has been great with you.
    ANGIE: She has been as good a patient as a patient can be. A fighter.
    NATALIA: (Whispers) Was never going to leave my dad behind.
    JESSE: Thank you, I am beyond happy that you are still here with us and I am in the midst of starting a cause around this city to prevent the poor from joining gangs.
    ANGIE: Leave it to your father to turn a negative into a positive!

    KATSU: I get nothing but serious when it comes to business.
    DERRICK: I assure you that I do as well. You do not have to worry about me. My head is in the game.

    Derrick takes a picture off of the wall and behind it is a safe.

    He opens the safe to reveal quite a few stacks of 100 dollar bills.

    KATSU: Is this your back room prostitution money?
    DERRICK: (chuckles) See there is that cool funny guy. I’m no prostitute. Just the guy spicing up couples lives….but back to business.
    KATSU: Yes please let me know how business is.
    DERRICK: Well look at all this cash. Our partnership will continue to gain ground.

    He gives Katsu one of the wads of 100 dollar bills and then closes the safe.

    DERRICK: It is all good... and serious.

    Katsu smiles at the wad of cash.
    DERRICK: (Grins) We’re growing.

    ELIZA: Not too long.
    JJ: I hope not.

    ELIZA: A deck of cards. I say we do some poker.
    JJ: You may not want to play me. I can be good.

    HENRY: Yeah but those were usually her ideas.
    BARBARA: I do not want us all to fight.
    PAUL: What else is this messed up family good for, mom?

    Stefano walks closer to her.

    STEFANO: Everything is okay Greta. I know you lied to patch and his lackey for my sake.
    GRETA: Yes I did. I am still uneasy finding out you are my father, but I thought that was for the best.
    STEFANO: It is. I reassured you that I have nothing to do with Bo Brady.
    GRETA: But he was looking for you…and how did you know people would start asking about you anyway?
    STEFANO: They always ask about me.

    GRETA: Bo and Hope were my best friends for a long time in Salem. And…and John.
    STEFANO: I know you always hoped John was your father and that you dreaded that I could be, but I am your father and I just want you to know that family is the most important thing to me. That is why you did the right thing and did not lead on that I was here.
    GRETA: But you have to be honest with me Stefano…I need to know for sure if you know where Bo is…

    HENRY: You got a big enough loan to start a company?
    PAUL: Yes as well as an investor.
    BARBARA: Paul is doing this on his own. I have not put in a dime.
    PAUL: I know Henry better not be concerned about the money. You are the one who wound up with James’s fortune.
    HENRY: It was more complicated than that.

    PAUL: I still never saw you reach out to me with a dime of the Stenbeck fortune. Or even to our little brother Eric.
    HENRY: His mom kept him so far away from this family. Probably rightfully so, but I hardly even know the guy.
    PAUL: Hey now is your chance! Go take a trip to Bay City and leave me and my mom to business.
    BARBARA: That is enough! Henry, I am sorry you are not happy with this but can you please get over the issue…for my sake.

    EMILY: I think I need to learn how to not do that…I’ll leave you to your business now.

    Emily walks out of his office and Lucas shakes his head but smirks

    AT JJs apartment.

    Eliza turns up some music.

    JJ: That is a little loud. This is an apartment after all.

    JJ turns it down.

    ELIZA: You are supposed to not be stiff, remember.
    JJ: I am relaxing. I mean we’re playing strip poker aren’t we?
    ELIZA: Yeah even though it is not working out for me. I have lost both socks. You’ve barely lost one.

    They play another hand and JJ wins.

    ELIZA: See what I mean!
    JJ: Lose it!

    JJ takes a chug of his beer.

    Eliza takes off her shirt to reveal a bright red bra.


    ELIZA: Good thing I am in my best undergarments tonight.
    JJ: Looking good..

    Another song comes on the radio.

    ELIZA: I love this one!

    Eliza turns the volume back up!

    Meanwhile Miranda is in her apartment next door.

    She is working on some home work but hears the bass thumping louder.

    MIRANDA: Come on JJ! Why does he have the music so loud!

    In England:

    STEFANO: I really do not have the slightest idea where Bo is. That is the truth Greta.
    GRETA: I just can’t help but not believe you.
    STEFANO: I know it will take a long time for us to build a father-daughter relationship, but I hope we can one day.
    GRETA: You just sent me a DNA test out of the blue.
    STEFANO: I thought it was about time you knew the truth and besides my time is dwindling down. I needed to reach out to you before it was too late.
    GRETA: I…I thank you for that. I just want to believe that everything is on the up and up. I don’t know if I can.
    STEFANO: Everything is good and I am sure that includes Bo.

    Emily arrives home. She hears the bickering going on in the kitchen.

    HENRY: Babs I want to support you, but…
    BARBARA: But what?

    Emily walks into the kitchen.

    EMILY: yeah Henry, but what? Let her have it.
    BARBARA: Another positive family member.
    HENRY: Hello Emily...BUT I just want to make sure Paul knows what he is doing.
    PAUL: I do thank you for the fake concern.
    EMILY: I was unsure about this endeavor as well.
    HENRY: It just seems done on a whim.
    PAUL: But you came around, right Emily?
    EMILY: Yes I am trying to.
    HENRY: I just do not want this to be a mistake.
    PAUL: I will prove that it is not one. There. Settled. End of story.

    BARBARA: I think it is time to leave so we can all sleep on this.
    EMILY: Don’t leave on my account.
    BARBARA: Don’t worry Emily, we are.
    HENRY: We should go to our hotel room love bug. I think we should be taking out this aggression on something else. Our hotel bed.

    Both Emily and Paul cringe.

    Barbara kisses Henry

    BARBARA: I knew you would come around.

    Barbara and Henry exit.

    EMILY: Paul, what do you say we go upstairs and blow off some steam too.
    PAUL: No thank you. I am not in the mood.

    Emily is disappointed.

    --

    Lucas is still in his office.

    He is looking over Emilys resume.

    LUCAS: Emily certainly is qualified…but I cannot help but think she is up to something.

    He puts her resume in a folder.

    LUCAS: I do not trust her as far as I can throw her.

    --

    Back at JJs apartment:

    JJ is now shirtless as he and Eliza continue to play strip poker.

    ELIZA: I am catching up! And you are about to lose your pants Mister Horton.

    She finishes off her beer.

    JJ: I have confidence in this hand.
    ELIZA: So do I. Full house. Read em and weep.
    JJ: Sucks for you. Straight flush. Looks like you are the one losing the pants!
    ELIZA: That’s fine.

    Eliza stands up and turns around.

    She bends over and starts to take off her pants ever so slowly…

    JJ watches and bites his lip..

    ELIZA: Got me in my bra and panties…
    JJ: This is more fun than I thought it was going to be.

    Meanwhile, Miranda is next door frustrated. The music is still loud.

    MIRANDA: This is ridiculous. Shouldn’t JJ be doing homework too.

    She closes her book.

    Miranda exits her apartment and goes next door and knocks on JJs door.

    Eliza opens the door in her bra and panties…

    Miranda is caught off guard.

    --

    In England:

    STEFANO: I’ll leave you to unwind. You seem stressed.
    GRETA: I am.

    He walks off to another room.

    Greta takes an envelope out of a drawer. Inside is the DNA test that names Stefano as her father.

    She stares at it..

    Stefano meanwhile makes a phone call in another room

    STEFANO: Everything is clear.

    He cackles

    REVA: And we don’t come up with many good Ideas do we?
    JOSH: We sure don’t.
    REVA: And the best part is we are country folk that are still way out here in the country.
    JOSH (looks at his watch) Well, we country folk need to get a move on it. We are late meeting Marah.

    LUKE: Why was this place sold? Our paper does so well online. Better than most newspapers across the country.
    GARY: I don’t know the exact reason. Must have been about money.
    LUKE: Come on you are always in the know.
    GARY: Not this time.
    LUKE: Do you at least know who the new owner is?
    GARY: No, but I think we are about to find out.
