    Luke is sitting down at his desk. He and a co worker named Gary are chatting.

    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.

    Someone walks in the door.

    It is Todd Manning.

    TODD: Hello my new employees. The Name is Todd Manning and I now own this highly coveted paper!

    Meanwhile, The mystery man that was tied up is still trying to get out of the room. He is in a weakened state however and is struggling. He tries to kick out a part at the bottom of the door where there is a food tray, but he can.t

    He then grabs his chair and runs it into the door with all his might!

    The door finally busts open! He limps out of the room…

    MYSTERY MAN: Finally free…

    Luke Snyder arrives at a ski resort.

    He is upset as he is walking in the resort.

    LUKE: Why did Gary and the new boss send me here for an assignment?

    He enters in a huff.

    LUKE: I don’t even ski!

    He walks up to the check in desk.

    LUKE: Hi. I am Luke Snyder. I am writing an article on this place for the Union Creek chronicle.
    CLERK: Ah yes! Welcome Mister Snyder. We are looking forward to this.
    LUKE: Yes…me…too.

    --

    At the Union Creek Chronicle:

    Gary knocks on Todds office.

    TODD: Don’t come in!

    Gary enters.

    TODD: I said Don’t come in…don’t.
    GARY: We need to talk. It is almost as if you are avoiding me.
    TODD: Would never do that Jerry.

    Gary sighs.

    GARY: I sent Luke Snyder on an assignment to a ski resort two towns over.
    TODD: …and?
    GARY: He’s nosy. He was trying to get the goods on what we were up to. I don’t think the old boss would want him to know about our assignment.
    TODD: He might as well still be here then, because I don’t even know about our assignment!
    GARY: You know we have to find the document.
    TODD: Yes this obscure document. Oh joy.

    BLAIR: Hey Dani!
    DANIELLE: Hi..

    DANIELLE: You were really waiting here for me?
    BLAIR: I was hoping to come in and talk to you.

    They all take their guns out.

    He knocks on the door.

    ELIJAH: Police open up! We have a search warrant!

    He waits but nobody comes.

    He knocks again. Some of the other cops try and look through the windows.

    ELIJAH: We are coming in one way or the other…I’m breaking this door down!

    He kicks down the door and enters!

    Elijah is astonished by what he sees inside…

    GARY: It cannot be far from Union Creek. Well actually it may be across the country but we can work around that…

    Gary glances at Todd who isn’t even paying attention.

    GARY: So I’m thinking we’ll probably have to go to mars to get it actually. That sound like a plan boss?
    TODD: Yeah. Lets do that. Sounds good.
    GARY: You re not even listening! You know you have to do this investigation if you want to own this newspaper. You signed the contract.

    The house over the hill…

    Elijah is inside with other cops and the house…is empty.

    COP 1: There is nothing here. Not a single trace.
    ELIJAH: Yup nothing is any room except this empty bookshelf and an empty fridge and cabinets.
    COP 1: Someone cleaned up
    ELIJAH: They sure did. We need to get a forensic team down here just in case…

    MORRIS: Hey

    Both seem in bad moods.

    MORRIS: Why were you so clingy today Eartha?!
    EARTHA: I just wanted to have a good time.
    MORRIS: It could have been good without you all over me.
    EARTHA: Maybe I just wanted to put you in a good mood. For once!
    MORRIS: Well you sure know how to lay your acts on thick!
    EARTHA: Whatever Morris. Why do we even go out then?

    Eartha walks away pissed off.

    Trinity sighs and walks to her room.

    TRINITY: I wish mom and dad could fake their happiness at home like they do for the public…

    Gary sets a file down and leaves Todds office.

    TODD: God I thought he would never leave. He is insufferable.

    Todd picks up a file Gary left.

    TODD: I am not going to investigate this stupid document fiasco. Hell, I will just pretend to do so. And then this place will be mine.

    --

    BLAIR: Can you just believe that Todd has your best interest at heart Dani!
    DANIELLE: He might. He might not. I just wish you, Todd and my mom would let me live my life! A life that will not be close to Todd.
    BLAIR: You are being selfish.
    DANIELLE: Feel however you choose to feel.
    BLAIR: Did you get your mothers cold blooded gene?
    DANIELLE: Funny. Can I be alone now Blair?
    BLAIR: I guess so. Just remember that Todd genuinely cares about you.
    DANIELLE: He is not my true father so I don’t care and both you and Todd will have to deal with it!

    --

    Elijah arrives at the hospital in Jacks room.

    JACK: Officer…did you find the house I was held in?
    ELIJAH: That is why I am here. The house was completely empty. Was it empty when you escaped?
    JACK: No. Not at all. I saw furniture. It looked like a regular occupied house.
    ELIJAH: The place was cleaned up. We are dealing with people who know what they are doing.

    JACK: Why do cops have a knack for stating the obvious?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Jesse is at the coffee shop.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    AT the Casino:

    DERRICK: I better head out. Duty calls.
    BRITTANY: Hope you come back and gamble and more importantly, drink soon.
    DERRICK: I am sure I will.

    “Dragonfly” by Shamans Harvest starts to play.

    [:00] Derrick walks away from the bar, but he turns back around and looks back at Billy and Brittany at the bar.

    He takes out his phone and takes a picture of them both…

    DERRICK: Hopefully one day…because I would love to bang both of them…

    He walks off.

    [:17] At Jennifer’s house:

    JENNIFER: I need some water and a break from unpacking.

    She exits into the kitchen.

    Daniel looks on unhappy.

    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.
    VIN: I don’t know but let’s take off.

    The three take off on foot quickly. Vin carrying the bag of cash.

    The camera zooms out on the car…

    JJ Horton is walking up the stairs of his apartment. Carrying his book bag.


    He gets to his apartment to see Eliza sitting there by his door.

    ELIZA: I thought you were never going to get home.
    JJ: Just getting out of a class. How long have you been waiting?
    ELIZA: Not too long.
    JJ: I hope not.
    ELIZA: I haven’t. The beer is still cold.
    JJ: What?

    Eliza has a six pack beside her and picks it up as she stands up.

    JJ: You brought beer again?
    ELIZA: I am going to be the person who gets you to unwind after hard days of class.
    JJ: I don’t know about you.

    He unlocks his door.

    ELIZA: What don’t you know? I think I am pretty straight forward.
    JJ: I suppose.

    The two enter his apartment.

    ELIZA: I brought something else for us to have fun with as well.
    JJ: What else…though I am kind of afraid to ask.
    ELIZA: A deck of cards. I say we do some poker.
    JJ: You may not want to play me. I can be good.
    ELIZA: I am good too and besides I don’t want to play no ordinary poker. Let’s play some strip poker.

    JJ’s eyes widen

    His secretary buzzes him.

    SECRETARY: You have a visitor.
    LUCAS: I don’t have anyone scheduled.
    SECRETARY: She says she is a new friend.
    LUCAS: A new friend?
    SECRETARY: Should I send her in?
    LUCAS: Sure. Why not

    Emily walks into the room.

    LUCAS: Ahhh you are the new friend.
    EMILY: Did you forget me already?
    LUCAS: No I didn’t. I am surprised to see you again though.
    EMILY: I am hoping we can see a lot more of each other…

    Paul has arrived home to see Henry with
    Barbara

    PAUL: If it isn’t my half brother yet Step Father Henry Coleman.
    HENRY: Hello Paul. Been a long time it feels like.
    PAUL: Maybe not long enough.
    HENRY: Probably not long enough. I do not like the sound of this BRO resurrection.
    BARBARA: I do not know why Henry!

    HENRY: Paul is not known for his brilliant ideas.
    PAUL: And you are? We can call Katie and ask her how many times you have messed things up.
    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?
    BARBARA: We should be able to come together over BRO.
    Henry: I am sorry but I thought you said Paul was down on his luck…and now all of a sudden he can make a company happen?

    PAUL: I am right here so you can address me cracker jack.
    HENRY: Cracker Jack? What is that suppose to mean?
    PAUL: That you look and act like the kid on the cracker jack box.

    BARBARA: Stop right now! Lets talk about this civilly. We can talk through this you know?
    PAUL: I personally do not care what Henry thinks. BRO is happening.

    Paul walks into the kitchen.

    Henry and Barbara give each other dirty looks

    In ENGLAND:

    Greta is not happy.

    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…

    Stefano looks on…

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

    At the Ryan house.

    PAUL: I am not discussing this. BRO is already beyond in the works. It is happening.
    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.

    At Mad world:

    Emily hands Lucas some papers.

    LUCAS: Is this your resume?
    EMILY: It sure is.
    LUCAS: I thought you said your husband would be upset if you worked for another company other than his?
    EMILY: Yeah, but he will have to get over it.
    LUCAS: I don’t want any drama here.
    EMILY: There wouldn’t be. Just consider it. I have experience you may like.
    LUCAS: I will consider it, just don’t play with fire.
    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.

    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…

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    --
     
    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…

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    OFFICER RAMOS: I quite admire our drive you have for the youth here. Instead of taking what happened to your daughter as a negative you are trying to turn it into a positive.

    JESSE: The people responsible for that shoot out are in custody, but there are some youth out there that have not yet gotten into deep trouble. Those are the ones I would love to help.
    OFFICER RAMOS: What are we going to do to help them?
    JESSE: We’re going to reach out and I do have an idea how…

    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.

    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!

    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.
    LUCAS: Sorry I will not bite the hand that feeds me.
    JJ: It is all in fun.
    DANIEL: If you’ll excuse me I have to use the restroom.

    Daniel exits the room and groans.

    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.
    JESSE: Brady…that name sounds familiar.

    A light bulb goes off in his head.

    --

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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…

    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

    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”

    BARBARA: Off to a good start. I hope you feel more positive about it now?

    HENRY: I am trying.

    BARBARA: Thank you.

     

    Henry sets down the tray of carrots and ranch dressing on the bottom of the bed.

     

    They then share a kiss

    AT BRO:

     

    Katsu pulls out a piece of paper from a folder.

     

    KATSU: Here we go. This could be the key to a fortune.

    PAUL: It is the key to a fortune.

    KATSU: Why yes, that is true.

    PAUL: I am glad we were able to connect on this business. I knew I needed the best in faking a document.

    KATSU: You came to the best and now you are getting the best.

     

    PAUL: I just hope it works. We need this money. I need this money.

    KATSU: Just a little more patience and you will have the money you want.

     

    Katsu looks over the document.

     

    KATSU: I think it is some of my best work.

    PAUL: You will get your share of the cut once this goes through.

    KATSU: I had no doubts that I would not take my cut. (smirks)

    Greg has heard something outside of his window and he is afraid.

     

    GREG: Should I look out…or run. If I run I’ll wake up my bastard father though.

     

    Greg slowly makes his way to the window.

     

    GREG: (Whispers) Don’t be Vin…don’t be Vin…

     

    He pulls his curtain aside and peeks out…

     

    It is just a cat who sees Greg and runs off meowing.

     

    Greg sighs in relief.

     

    Greg’s phone then rings and he jumps!

     

    GREG: God I’m such a freakin’ scaredy cat right now.

     

    It is Marcino calling yet again.

     

    Greg decides to answer this time.

     

    GREG: Hey…

    MARCINO: Thank you for finally answering!

    GREG: What do you want?

    MARCINO: You know what I want. I want you to not go off and run away.

    GREG: You had your chance to stop me and I respect that you felt uncomfortable and didn’t want to own up to your feelings but now you have to let me own up to mine.

    MARCINO: Where are you running off to then?

    GREG:  Don’t know for sure, but I will find somewhere.

    MARCINO: Please just stay.

    GREG: I am sorry, but I cannot. I am leaving town right now.

     

    Greg hangs up.

    Jeremy opens his bag for Rina and Gus.

     

    GUS: You brought the good stuff again didn’t you?

    JEREMY: I always do.

     

    Jeremy has busted out a baggie of cocaine!

     

    RINA: Come to mama.

     

    Both Rina and Gus look to be in joy!

     

    RINA: Absolutely posh.

    JEREMY: Get to work on it, Gus.

     

    Gus starts to cut it up.

     

    He makes it into three lines.

     

    Jeremy, Rina and Gus all snort their lines…

    JJ is in Miranda’s kitchen.

     

    JJ: You can come in now

     

    Miranda is still in the hallway.

     

    MIRANDA: You killed it already?

    JJ: No but It is gone.

     

    Miranda reluctantly comes back in.

     

    MIRANDA: But it is still in here somewhere?!

    JJ: You need to by some mouse traps.

    MIRANDA: How am I going to sleep knowing it is in here still?

    JJ: I don’t know but I need to head back to bed as well.

    MIRANDA: Okay. Fine. Thank you so much for rushing over here though! So cool of you.

     

    She hugs him.

     

    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..

     

    --

    AT BRO:

     

    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.

     

    Paul looks on at it smiling.

    Greg is sneaking around his house in the dark as to not wake anyone up.

     

    He goes into his little brother’s room.

     

    The fourteen year old is sleeping.

     

    GREG: (whispers)  Hang in there little bro. I will be back for you. I promise.

     

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

     

    He looks in at his mom and his dad.

     

    GREG: Sorry mom, but I have to leave for now.

     

    He then exits the house and gets to his car.

     

    He puts the suitcase in the backseat

     

    Greg gets inside and starts the car.

    Terrance is walking out of a room.

     

    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!

     

    Both smile at the other..

    At BRO:

     

    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!

     

    --

    At BRO:

     

    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.

    KATSU: You don’t have to tell me how much you have done. You do not have to prove your trust. You already did that. So far I have held up my end of the bargain too. I got you the money to reopen this company.

    PAUL: I know, but now I need more. I am ready for step two.

    KATSU: Step two..

     

    Katsu smirks.

     

    --

     

    At the womens shelter:

     

    CHARLOTTE: Are you ready to stop beating yourself up, Ali?

    ALI: I just wish I wouldn’t be so dumb sometimes!

    JACY: You really should give yourself a break.

    ALI: I know. I am just mad at myself for getting sucked in again.

    CHARLOTTE: It has happened to us all.

     

    Charlotte hugs Ali.

     

    ALI: I am glad you girls are here.

    JACY: We gotchoo.

    CHARLOTTE: This is all a learning process. For all of us. Miss Cho is trying to get us back on track.

    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!

    Brittany is the bartender

     

    BRITTANY: Would you both like another?

    NATALIA: Why not one more.

    TERRANCE: I do. I have been working hard lately and not getting time for fun like this.

    BRITTANY: Coming right up.

    NATALIA: This was a good idea.

    TERRANCE: hang around me more and you will find that I am full of those.

    NATALIA: Better to be full of that than full of something else.

     

    Brittany hands them both their drinks.

     

    NATALIA: Thank you.

    TERRANCE: Ill make a toast. For your great recovery to continue and for you to get back to work on the force soon!

    NATALIA: Thank you so much! Cheers!

     

    Natalia and Terrance clink glasses

    Cut to Paul and Katsu:

     

    PAUL: So can we get this done?

    KATSU: I think we sure can. I’ll work on it tonight.

    PAUL: Fantastic.

    KATSU: You look a little nervous.

    PAUL: Of course I am. This has to get done.

     

    KATSU: No need to worry. I will pull this off.

    PAUL: Don’t get me wrong, I believe that you will.

    KATSU: I will. I have many connections in this city.

     

    Katsu smirks again.

     

    KATSU: We must meet here again early in the morning.

    VIN: Have you reached Greg?

    CHAVO: He is not answering my texts.

    VIN: Of course not, the coward. Keep trying.

    CHAVO: I can go by his house and see if his car is there.

    VIN: Good call. Go find out. Do all that you can to find him!

    CHAVO: On my way.

     

    Chavo exits.

     

    CHAVO: Greg, you have really done it this time.

     

    Back inside, Greg takes out his gun again.

     

    VIN: Nobody does this to me.

     

    He stares at the gun…

     

    --

     

    Cut to Greg and Marcino.

     

    MARCINO: I am not into dudes!

    GREG: What about all the signs, man? Confiding your problems in me all the time?

    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.

    GREG: I’m leaving. In fact, I’m leaving town!

     

    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?

     

    Marcino looks on worried…

    BEN: I hope not. You know as good as I do that the other day was smokin' hot.
    LUKE: Oh yeah. I loved every minute of it.
    BEN: I’m glad you gave in so that we could feel that pleasure. I just hope it is going to happen again soon.

    BLAIR: Whatever Reva beast.
    REVA: Excuse me what did you say?
     
    BLAIR: Oh, nothing.
    REVA: You sure did. You are just ridiculous for some reason. Sometimes I think you are being followed around by cameras like you are on some cheap reality show probably called the Blair B*tch project.
     
    Blair looks around as people in the store are starting to give them both looks.
     
    BLAIR: Leave it to your hick a** to cause a scene.
    REVA: Who are you calling a hick? Have you heard your own accent, country bumpkin? I don’t want to cause a major scene though so I will be the bigger woman and walk away.

    SAM: What about Trinity’s piece? It blew mine away.
    TODD: Yeah…It was…interesting.
     
    SAM: Something wrong with it?
    TODD: Well she wrote about a big issue. Race is a gigantic issue right now…
    SAM: Yeah she did it on a touchy issue, but she did a powerful job which will makes a person think.
    TODD: Yeah, but she is just a teenager I don’t know if readers want to hear some girl preaching to them.
    SAM: She wasn’t preaching. I was there, she was speaking from the heart.
    TODD: She did well, but I don’t know if it is for this paper.
    SAM: Are you saying you are not going to publish it?

    DANI: Yeah, that is true.
    MALIK: Are you saying you want all that pressure?

    SAM: I’m honestly surprised that Todd Manning of all people is afraid of a little bit of controversy.
    TODD: Are you trying to call me soft?
    SAM: I’m just saying, this isn’t the step dad I know.
     
    TODD: What are you getting out of this job thingy with Trinity?
    SAM: A cool summer job.
    TODD: I think you like her.
    SAM: She is really cool.
    TODD: If I compare your two personalities from your two articles she would probably eat you alive….Sam if I put her article in tomorrow’s edition will you leave and let me work?
    SAM: Yes. Yes I will!
    TODD: Then I will put it in.
    SAM: Thank you! You won’t regret it!
     
    Sam exits.
     
    Todd turns back to his computer.
     
    There is another knock at the door.
     
    TODD: I need a god damn personal secretary…. Come in!
     
    It is Jack…
     
    JACK: Hello again.
    TODD: Jack Doe…hey…
    JACK: I came by to see if you have considered hiring me for a job…

    At the supermarket:
     
    Reva gets in Blairs face!
     
    REVA: I really want you to stop with your pathetic little put downs, Blair.
    BLAIR: My, my, I hope you don’t have anything to throw on me.
    REVA: I just want to finish shopping, but you just had to go and piss me off!
     
    Blair chuckles and gives Reva a little shove.
     
    REVA: Don’t you touch me
    BLAIR: Then get out of my face with your Kentucky fried chicken breath!
    REVA: You must just be smelling the bullsh*t coming out of your own mouth.
     
    Reva grabs Blair by the shirt.
     
    REVA: We need to stop doing this.
    BLAIR: Then stay the hell away from me!
     
    Blair gives Reva another shove!
     
    Reva shoves Blair back but hangs onto her necklaces and yanks it breaking it off!
     
    BLAIR: Do you know how much that costs?!
    REVA: I don’t care. I’m sure you will just try and press charge...and fail, again.
     
    Reva walks off and Blair is livid!

    At the café:
     
    DANI: Fate is strange you know.
    MALIK: How so?
    DANI: Well I was just thinking about how the day of the modeling competition it was you and I who ran into each other and had to hype each other up to even do it. Thank you by the way.
    MALIK: We must have been good help for each other.
    DANI: Yup because we were the two winners.
    MALIK: Well I thank fate then.
    DANI: And I never thought I would even like this job, but it is going to be fun.
    MALIK: Oh yeah. We’re going to have fun together!

    At the park:
     
    BEN: Don’t let me keep you any longer.
    LUKE: I am really not in a hurry to get to work.
    BEN: I really shouldn’t be keeping you from working too long though. You have to keep your job.
    LUKE: I know, I know. I just love hanging out with you.
    BEN: I do too. Before you head back though…
     
    Ben kisses him.
     
    Their lip locking goes on for a bit.
     
    In the background, Gary is watching them.
     
    He smirks as he watches them kissing..
     
    -
     
    Sam meets up with Zack.
     
    Sam high fives Zack.
     
    ZACK: What was that for?
    SAM: Just felt like it.
     
    Sam can’t keep himself from smiling.
     
    ZACK: What has you so happy go lucky? Did you get some or what?
    SAM: No it is my summer job with Trinity. It has started off awesome! She wrote this deep and powerful article and my dad found it controversial but he is still going to print it.
    ZACK: That is pretty damn cool.
    SAM: Yeah, she’s amazing.
    ZACK: Glad one of us is happy.
    SAM: Why are you so down?
    ZACK: My summer thing is sucking so far.
     
    SAM: You are the one who chose to go to school all summer and help tutor.
    ZACK: It is not that. It is having to see Anne and Cory sit by each other every time.
    SAM: Ouch.
    ZACK: Frustrating!

    At The Union Creek Chronicle:
     
    TODD: Do you really want a job here Jack?
    JACK: I need a job and I use to be in the press so yes.
    TODD: Then you are hired!
    JACK: Just like that?
    TODD: Yup.
    JACK: That was easy and here I though you would want to do a background check on me, and well, that would be difficult for me to pass!
    TODD: I normally do background checks but I have a feeling yours would turn up as empty as they come.
    JACK: Thank you so much. I appreciate this. I cannot wait to start!
    TODD: I need to get to work right now though.
    JACK: I’m sure you do. I look forward to working here and will now leave you alone…boss.
     
    Jack exits and walks off elated to have a job.
     
    TODD: The one time I am trying to actually work on this investigation for Gary and I can’t get any time to myself.
     
    He looks at the clock.
     
    TODD: What the hell I already got the check from him anyway! Lunch time!

    Reva is now home.
     
    The mysterious car is parked a little away from the ranch again.
     
    The person inside is watching Reva as she is taking groceries in.
     
    Reva comes back to her car and closes the car door.
     
    REVA: Wonder if we got any mail.
     
    She goes to check her mail box.

    All of a sudden the mysterious person in the car starts it up and goes speeding right towards Reva!!!
     
    Reva is barely able to get out of the way. She falls to the ground with a hard impact and a thud.
     
    The car speeds off down the street screeching its tires.
     
    Reva lets out a yell of pain
     
    REVA: Oh…my…god.
     
    She holds her ribs in agony…

    Zack  is at the café.
     
    He is sipping on his coffee and texting on his phone.
     
    He is texting someone named Jasper:
     
     

     
    Zack is smiling.
     
    ZACK: I hope he comes through on that party.
     
     
    Anne  and Cory  walk into the place together.
     
    That of course upsets Zack.
     
    ZACK: Why did they have to come in…
     
    He stands up and puts his coffee cup in the trash and walks out in a frustrated huff.
     
    He takes one last look inside at the window to see Cory and Anne ordering.
     
    ZACK: I cannot let them hook up!

    HOLDEN: Great, Lily!
     
    Holden kisses her.
     
    LILY: You taste delicious.

    Gary  walks into Todds  office.
     
    TODD: please take a seat.
    GARY: It is weird that you are being nice to me.
    TODD: You know what they say, Money talks.
    GARY: What is the money telling you?
    TODD: It is telling me to find this document so I can get another check from you.
     
    GARY: Not from me. From the old boss.
    TODD: Ah yes, this secretive old boss.
    GARY: So…do you have a game plan to finding this document
    TODD: I have been looking over some of the info you gave me.
    GARY: It is about time!
    TODD: Yes, well I find the randomness of your info perplexing, but I am not going to ask questions about that right now. What I want is for you to go back to your source, because I think you are narrowing down the place that this document originated.
    GARY: I am hoping to do just that.

    Josh  arrives home.
     
    He pulls up and sees Reva hurt on the sidewalk.
     
    JOSH: Reva!
     
    He gets out of his car and runs to Reva and tends to her.
     
    REVA: Joshua…I am in pain. My ribs might be broken.
    JOSH: Did you fall?
    REVA: Someone…tried to run over me. It was…
    JOSH: What the hell are you talking about?
    REVA: I think….they were… trying to kill me. …I cant take deep breaths Joshua.
    JOSH: I will call 911.
     
    He takes out his phone as he holds her…
     
     
     
     
    Zack arrives home.
     
    Another teenager named Rourke  is there…
     
    Zacks bad mood can be seen on his face.
     
    ROURKE: Home so soon?
    ZACK: Shut up.
    ROURKE: Who sh*t in your coffee?
    ZACK: None of your business.
    ROURKE: So somebody actually did that in your coffee?
    ZACK: You are not funny.
     
    ROURKE: I find myself amusing.
    ZACK: Well you are the only one.
    ROURKE: You need to find a hobby and cheer up.
    ZACK: And you need to just shut up before I shut you up.
    ROURKE: Listen Bro, Whatever is wrong you can tell me, you know?
    ZACK: No thank you.

    HOLDEN: What is your idea Lily?
    LILY: I really want to make a video for chic spirit. An online video. One that can hopefully go viral.
    HOLDEN: That would be fantastic for the current market.
    LILY: It would have to be a small project but one that I want to be really well done.
    HOLDEN: If you have a big picture idea, you should give it a shot.
    LILY: I would need someone really good to shoot the video.
     
    HOLDEN: I have a suggestion.
    LILY: What would that be?
    HOLDEN: You could always call up Noah.
    LILY: Noah? As in Luke’s ex boyfriend, Noah?
    HOLDEN: Yes. Noah Mayer. He is becoming quite the hit in Hollywood. You should ask him to come and help with the video before he gets too big and in demand.
    LILY: That would be great…

    AT UCC:
     
    GARY: My source has been a lot of help.
    TODD: Do you have some kind of private investigator or what?
    GARY: Maybe. I don’t give out sources.
    TODD: More mysteries from you.
    GARY: It works.
     
    TODD: I hope your source does work and comes through.
    GARY: I don’t know how I keep being the one doing all the work.
    TODD: Because I am your boss and just supervising.
    GARY: Yeah that does seem to be what you are good at.
    TODD: It runs in the family.
     
    --
    At the hospital:
     
    Eartha  is with Reva and Josh.
     
    REVA: I am in a lot of pain here.
    EARTHA: We are hoping it just majorly knocked the wind out of you.
    JOSH: Are the cops on their way?
    EARTHA: Yes, Elijah should be here any moment now and Morris should be back with the x-ray.
    JOSH: Good. I am glad this place is on it.
    EARTHA: We have a good hospital here.
     
    Morris  walks in.
    EARTHA: I’ll leave you all.
    She exits.
     
    REVA: What’s the word, doc?
    MORRIS: Good news. No broken ribs. They are just bruised. They will however continue to be sore for probably the next few weeks.
     
     
    Meanwhile outside in the hallway…
     
     
    Eartha runs into Elijah  .
     
     
    ELIJAH: Always a pleasure to see you.
    EARTHA: Thank you.
    ELIJAH: Too bad you don’t think the same though…
    EARTHA: Please don’t start. The patient is in the room down the hall.
     
    Elijah walks towards Revas room.
     
     
    Eartha meanwhile has a flashback:
     
    A young Eartha  is packing some suitcases.
     
    A young Elijah  walks in.
     
    YOUNG ELIJAH: I guess this is it.
    YOUNG EARTHA: This is not it.
    YOUNG ELIJAH: Are you really going to stay with me while living across the country?
    YOUNG EARTHA: Yes.
    YOUNG ELIJAH: I hope you are serious.
    YOUNG EARTHA: I am. I do love you. We have to keep this going even if its long distance.
    YOUNG ELIJAH: I love you too, babe and I am so happy to hear you say this.
    YOUNG EARTHA: Besides, I will be way too busy with classes to meet someone else.
     
    She comes back to the present staring down the hall...

    Cut to Zack and Roarke
     
     
    ROARKE: What is your problem man?
    ZACK: It is you when you bug me like this.
    ROARKE: You are my brother—
    ZACK: --Step brother!
    ROARKE: Fine. You are my step brother. Either way I am sick of you always treating me badly.
    ZACK: I do not treat you badly.
     
    ROARKE: What do you call this?
    ZACK: I call it having a bad day.
    ROARKE: Then, Bro, you must have a bad day every damn day!
    --
     
    Cut to Lily and Holden:
     
    LILY: Do you really think it is a good idea to try and contact Noah?
    HOLDEN: I do. We know someone who is becoming a hit in Hollywood. To get him to help you with your video would be huge.
    LILY: You are right. It would be, but…
    HOLDEN: But Luke?
    LILY: Yeah. I am sure that Luke would not like us contacting him.
    HOLDEN: Don’t they stay in touch?
    LILY: I don’t know. They use to. I don’t want to upset him though.
    HOLDEN: You never know. He may actually enjoy seeing Noah again…

    At UCC:
     
    Gary is back at his cubical.
     
    He looks around and then makes a phone call on his cell.
     
    GARY: Hey….yeah. I think we have finally hooked him in. Yes. Yeah I may bust this wide open. I do think it is almost time to pull the trigger with Todd…
     
    Meanwhile, Blair  has walked into the Union Creek Chronicle building. She knocks on Todds office and walks in.
     
    TODD: Blair. Surprised to see you here.
    BLAIR: Hi Todd.
    TODD: Is everything okay?
    BLAIR: No. No it is not.
    TODD: Then come on over and sit on my lap.
     
    Blair gives Todd a questioning look.
     
    Todd pats down on his lap.
     
    BLAIR: Are you serious?
    TODD: Yes.
     
    Blair sits on his lap and he brushes her hair aside and then kisses her.
     
    TODD: Feel better?
    BLAIR: Almost…
    TODD: You want something don’t you?
    BLAIR: I would like a little favor….I would love for you to use your journalistic skills to find info on that beast, Reva Shayne Lewis.
     
    Todd looks at her straight into her eyes as if he is examining her.
     
    BLAIR: Please.
    TODD: Hm. Fine.

    At the hospital, Eartha flashes back again:
     
    “End of the Road” by Boyz II Men starts to play…
     
     
     
     
     
    YOUNG ELIJAH: I will help you to your car with your suitcases.
    YOUNG EARTHA: Thank you Eli.
    YOUNG ELIJAH: You know I hate it when you call me that.
    YOUNG EARTHA: Get use to it. I’m going to call you that for the rest of your life.
    YOUNG ELIJAH: In that case, maybe it will grow on me.
     
    He helps bring her suitcases outside.
     
    YOUNG ELIJAH: This really robs me of my gangsta card and all, but I am going to miss you so damn much.
    YOUNG EARTHA: You didn’t even wear your do-rag today.
    YOUNG ELIJAH: I tried to be good.
     
    He sets her suitcases in her trunk.
     
    YOUNG EARTHA: I am going to miss you too.
    YOUNG ELIJAH: Are you sure you have to go to college?
    YOUNG EARTHA: Yeah, and you should too.
    YOUNG ELIJAH: Maybe someday.
     
    She starts to try and hold back tears.
     
    YOUNG ELIJAH: Well don’t start crying.
    YOUNG EARTHA: This is hard.
    YOUNG ELIJAH: This feels like a goodbye doesn’t it.
    YOUNG EARTHA: It does.
    YOUNG ELIJAH: I hope we make it through despite the distance.
    YOUNG EARTHA: Don’t worry. I will always love you.
     
    They hug ever so tightly and then kiss as Eartha starts to cry.
     
    YOUNG ELIJAH: Good luck in college, baby.
    YOUNG EARTHA: Thank you.
     
    SONG STOPS
     
    She comes back to the present as Morris is walking up to her.
     
    MORRIS: Are you okay? You look like you need to sit down.
    EARTHA: I’m, I’m fine..
    --
    In Reva’s hospital room.
     
    Elijah is with her and Josh.
     
    ELIJAH: What do you remember about the car that almost hit you?
    REVA: Not much. It is a blur right now. A scary event and it happened so fast.
    JOSH: Damn I wish I was there!
    ELIJAH: You don’t remember anything about the car?
    REVA: Not really.
     
    ELIJAH: What about the driver? Did you get a glimpse?
    REVA: I…I don’t know…..actually…
     
    She has a quick flashback as the car pulled away and seeing some long dirty blonde hair.
     
    REVA: Wait a second. The driver had some light brown hair. Almost dirty blonde.
    JOSH: It was a woman?
    REVA: I think it may have been.
    ELIJAH: Are you sure about this?
    REVA: Oh my god! It had to be Blair Manning!

    Camella is With Trinity at the Davis household.

     

    CAMELLA: So that article you wrote is on point, Trinity.

    TRINITY: Happy that you dig it.

    CAMELLA: It was real. Proud of you getting’ real with America.

    TRINITY: I just hope it makes people think.

    CAMELLA: It sadly won’t make too many white people think. They will try and block it out.

     

    TRINITY: You think it’s that cynical?

    CAMELLA: Fo sho. These cops are not stoppin’.

    TRINITY: Sure doesn’t seem like.

    CAMELLA: They aren’t. There was just another shooting of an unarmed black teen down in Texas.

    TRINITY: Sickening.

    CAMELLA: Almost like a race war. The more things change the more they stay the same for us.

    TRINITY: Have any positive news?

     

    CAMELLA: Well, there is a party going on that we should go to.

    TRINITY: I don’t know if I feel like partying.

    CAMELLA: Oh come on it will be fun. We can get our drink on.

    TRINITY: Fine because I know you will bug me until we go!

     

    Meanwhile, Downstairs:

     

    Eartha has arrived home.

     

    Malik and Morris are sitting down having some beers.

     

    MALIK: Hi mom.

    EARTHA: Hey guys…that is not a beer is it…

    MORRIS: It’s not going to hurt him.

    EARTHA: He is underage.

    MALIK: Please do not start a fight about this.

     

    Eartha gives Morris a dirty look.

     

    Morris uses the moment to take a swig of his beer.

     

    MALIK: I will be twenty one very soon.

    EARTHA: I won’t be the Debbie downer.

    MALIK: Thank you.

     

    Eartha hastily walks upstairs.

     

    She has a flashback:

     

    Young Eartha is with Young Morris .

     

    He is having a beer while she drinks a bottle of water.

     

    YOUNG EARTHA: Must be nice to be the older man on campus getting to drink whatever you want?

    YOUNG MORRIS: You wouldn’t even like this beer.

    YOUNG EARTHA: True, but it’s about the freedom.

    YOUNG MORRIS: Well, you are almost my age. Almost legal.

    YOUNG EARTHA: Then we can party together!

    YOUNG MORRIS: If that’s what you want.

    YOUNG EARTHA: It is.

     

    They kiss.

     

    YOUNG EARTHA: Loosen up. Why are you stiff?

    YOUNG MORRIS: The beer should loosen me up soon.

    YOUNG EARTHA: You should be chill with me already. If this is about our relationship, I told you we are official.

    YOUNG MORRIS: I know. It’s all good. Don’t worry.

     

    He kisses her again.

     

    YOUNG EARTHA: I’m not worried.

     

    Eartha comes back down to the present.

     

    --

     

    Reva and Josh get home.

     

    Reva is still in pain and walking sorely.

     

    REVA: It’s the sh*ts getting old, Joshua. I am so sore already. Tomorrow I probably won’t even be able to move.

    JOSH: I will do whatever I can to help

     

    Jack walks in.

     

    He sees that Reva is in pain.

     

    JACK: Hello…something wrong?

    REVA: I am in pain and the pills have not kicked in yet.

    JACK: What happened?

    JOSH: Someone tried to kill her.

    JACK: What?!

    REVA: A car sped right at me earlier today.

    JACK: That’s crazy.

    JOSH: Would you happen to know who would do something like that?

    JACK: Wait…you don’t think this had something to do with me do you?

     

    Josh stares down Jack…

     

    --

     

    Elijah has arrived at the Manning house.

     

    Blair opens up.

     

    BLAIR: Hi officer, I hope this has something to do with the charges I tried to press against Reva Shayne?

    ELIJAH: This does have something to do with Reva but not about charges against her.

    BLAIR: What is she up to now? You know she attacked me at the store today!

    ELIJAH: Oh yeah?

    BLAIR: Yes. She is too much.

    ELIJAH: You wouldn’t have happened to try and get revenge did you?

    BLAIR: Just what are you getting at Officer Smith?

    ELIJAH: Someone tried to run over Reva with a car.

     

     
     


     
    Camella and Trinity arrive at the party.

     

    TRINITY: I am not going to like this.

    CAMELLA: Please stop complaining.

    TRINITY: I don’t like being around a lot of people. Let alone drunk people just stumbling around and being obnoxious.

    CAMELLA: You are being over dramatic. This is one of the cool parties. I know the people.

     

    They walk near some coolers.

     

    CAMELLA: Grab a beer.

    TRINITY: No thanks.

    CAMELLA: Well grab me one then, please.

     

    Trinity gets one for her.

     

    Zacks teenage step brother Rourke is also there.

     

    He sees Camella.

     

    ROURKE: Hey you, long time no see.

    CAMELLA: Rourke, how is life on the north side?

    ROURKE: The same as ever.

    TRINITY: How do you two know each other?

    ROURKE: She use to come to my school. Funny thing is I may be going to your guys school this year.

    CAMELLA: That will be trouble.

     

    TRINITY: What is that smell?

    ROURKE: Not me, I hope.

    CAMELLA: I think it is you. Sure smells like weed. Don’t tell me you brought some here!

    ROURKE: Of course I did!

    Eartha goes back in time again in her memory:

     

    Young Eartha is now with Young Elijah .

     

    YOUNG ELIJAH: I am so happy you are back in town for a while this summer.

    YOUNG EARTHA: Really just two weeks before I have to head back.

    YOUNG ELIJAH: Any time with you will be amazing. It’s been a long year without you.

    YOUNG EARTHA: I’m sorry to say, but we won’t be spending much time together this summer.

    YOUNG ELIJAH: What do you mean? I’ve waited so long.

     

    YOUNG EARTHA: I don’t know how to tell you this.

    YOUNG ELIJAH: Tell me what?

    YOUNG EARTHA: Elijah, you know I love you but I cannot do this to you.

    YOUNG ELIJAH: Do what? Spit it out!

     

    She turns away from him nervously.

     

    YOUNG EARTHA: I have to break up with you.

    YOUNG ELIJAH: What the hell are you talking about?

     

    He yanks her back around.

     

    YOUNG ELIJAH: Oh my god my worst fear came true didn’t it! You met someone else?

     

    Young Eartha starts to tear up and shakes her head yes…

     

    Back in the present:

     

    Eartha deep sighs…

     

    --

     

    At the Lewis Ranch:

     

    REVA: This didn’t have anything to do with Jack. I know who was driving that car.

    JOSH: I am just saying that Jack thinks he is being looked for and someone may have found him here.

    JACK: I hope not.

    REVA: Why would they come after me?

    JOSH: For helping him.

    JACK: I knew I shouldn’t have moved in here!



    REVA: No, dammit. Stop this. This wasn’t about Jack. I told you and Elijah who did this.

    JOSH: But how could you be sure. You only saw the hair.

    REVA: I saw enough of the hair to know who tried to hit me.

    JACK: Well what’s with the suspense? Tell me who it was?

    REVA: It was that b*tch, Blair Manning!

     

    --

     

    Elijah is with Blair.

     

    BLAIR: This is ridiculous!

    ELIJAH: I am sorry you feel that way, but her memory of the driver and the description seems to fit you.

    BLAIR: She could just be saying that. Are you sure she was even almost hit? She seems like the type that could be making that up.

    ELIJAH: She has been medically examined and is actually hurt.

    BLAIR: Well I would like to get a lawyer if you are really accusing me of this.

     

    ELIJAH: Do you have an alibi? Where were you between 4 and 5?

    BLAIR: I want to call my lawyer.

    ELIJAH: I am just asking some questions. If you want to go down to the station that can be arranged.

    BLAIR: No, no okay. I was visiting my husband at work.

    ELIJAH: And he can verify that?

    BLAIR: I’m sure he can.

     

    Blair looks on worried…

     

    --

     

    At the party:

     

    CAMELLA: Why did you have to bring weed?

    TRINITY: The smell is awful!

    CAMELLA: I hate it.

    ROURKE: Don’t be a couple of haters.

    CAMELLA: I’m not hating. Just sayin.

    ROUKE: I came here to chill out.

     

    TRINITY: Who comes to a PARTY to chill out?

    ROURKE: Me, bro.

    TRINITY: Bro? Who is this guy?

    CAMELLA: He’s an oddball.

    TRINITY: Tell me about it.

    CAMELLA: Let’s go drink.

    TRINITY: I mostly just want to go home.

    Malik walks into his mothers room, Interrupting her memories.

     

    MALIK: Mom…

    EARTHA: Something wrong Malik?

    MALIK: Just wondering if you want to join me and dad for some pizza and wings?

    EARTHA: Um, I’ll take you up on that offer, actually.

    MALIK: Great.

     

    They go downstairs

     

    Eartha sits next to Morris.

     

    Morris smiles…

    At the ranch:

     

    JACK: Todd’s wife did this?

    REVA: It had to be her.

    JACK: This is going to make my new job awkward.

    JOSH: You got hired at the newspaper?

    JACK: I did!

    REVA: Congratulations. I just hope Todd is not as bad as his wife.

    JOSH: I am happy to hear you got a job though.

     

    JACK: Maybe I’ll be out of your hair in no time.

    REVA: No hurry.

    JACK: If it really was Blair tho, I hope she is taken down.

    REVA: I hope she is being arrested as we speak.

     

    --

     

    Todd arrives home to see Elijah with Blair.

     

    TODD: Blair why is a police officer here?

    BLAIR: He thinks I did something absurd.

    TODD: What do you think she did?

    ELIJAH: She has been identified in a possible attempted murder?

     

    Todd chuckles.

     

    TODD: You can go. (he points to the door)

    ELIJAH: This is no laughing matter. Reva Shayne could have been killed.

    TODD: Reva?

    ELIJAH: …and I won’t be going until I know if your wife was with you at your job between 4 and 5 PM.

    TODD: She did come over for a visit.

    ELIJAH: I hope your cameras there will prove that it was between the time period in question.

    TODD: I’m sure they will.

     

    ELIJAH: If evidence is found you will have to come to the station, Blair.

    BLAIR: And this time my lawyer will be with me. Call Tea, Todd! Call her now.

     

    Elijah exits.

     

    BLAIR: Well are you going to call her?

    TODD: Wait Blair, when you came by my office you wanted me to look up info on Reva Shayne Lewis. Why is that?

    BLAIR: Certainly not because of this!

     

    She looks on…

    Holden and Lily are together at a bar.

    Holden takes a swig of beer while Lily messes with the straw to her drink.

    HOLDEN: Is your drink okay?
    LILY: Yeah it is good.
    HOLDEN: Then what is wrong? Hard first day of work?
    LILY: It wasn’t bad, actually. Stressful, of course, but I think it was a success for Marah and I.
    HOLDEN: Do you know how soon production will be?
    LILY: Probably in a couple of weeks.
    HOLDEN: That long?
    LILY: Going to take some time at the start.

    Lily takes a sip of her drinks.

    LILY: So tell me about that government offer? Did you go to the interview?
    HOLDEN: I did and it went good, but it was a surprise.
    LILY: What is it all about?
    HOLDEN: They want me to help come up with and manage funds for the city. The surprising part is, the mayor handpicked me.
    LILY: I didn’t know that you knew the mayor.
    HOLDEN: That’s the thing, I don’t know him.

    Blair plops down at the bar next to them.

    BLAIR: Well if it isn’t my neighbors.

    She smiles at Holden and Lily

    Sam and Trinity are together at Sam’s house.

    They are working on their laptops on their first articles for the newspaper.

    TRINITY: How is yours coming?
    SAM: I am practically done!
    TRINITY: You did something on sports?
    SAM: Yeah, I figured I live in Colorado now, why not do something blasting the Denver Broncos?
    TRINITY: That’s cool...
    SAM: It is about how their star is falling and time may have ran out for a run. I guess it is a bit of a fluff piece, but it’s fun. We should read them to each other.
    TRINITY: I don’t think you want to hear mine.
    SAM: of course I do. Go ahead.

    She looks down at her computer. She seems uneasy.

    Jack is eating dinner with Reva and
    Josh

    JACK: You do not have to keep preparing me food like this.
    JOSH: We both like to cook.
    REVA: Speak for yourself!
    JOSH: Okay. I like to cook.
    JACK: I’m here just taking up space and taking up your food. Not feeling good for anything right now.
    REVA: It is alright, really.
    JOSH: As long as you think…or at least lie that the food is good, we are happy to cook for you.
    JACK: It is really good.
    JOSH: I hope that wasn’t a lie.
    JACK: Not a lie. It really is.

    Morris and Eartha are at the hospital.
    EARTHA: You okay today? I hope you didn’t come here hungover.
    MORRIS: I am fine Eartha. Don’t I hear you yap enough at home?
    EARTHA: No you are the one who yaps and yaps.
    MORRIS: I have no patients right now. I’ll be eating if you need me.

    He walks to the cafeteria and sits down.

    He sighs and then has a flashback:

    A young Morris is in med school.

    He is walking through the halls and runs into a young Eartha.

    YOUNG MORRIS: Sorry. I didn’t mean to get in your way.
    YOUNG EARTHA: You are not. I am just lost.
    YOUNG MORRIS: I could be your guide.
    YOUNG EARTHA: Be still my heart! Someone actually not in a hurry around here to help?
    YOUNG MORRIS: I can’t still your heart as I am not trying to be a heart surgeon (chuckles) But I will help you with whatever you need.
    YOUNG EARTHA: Well thank you so much.
    YOUNG MORRIS: This way.

    He points towards a hallway and she starts walking ahead of him.

    Young Morris surely likes what he sees in front of him.

    BACK IN THE PRESENT:

    MORRIS: I wonder if we should have even ever met…

    He looks on lost in thought

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTGQmywSIgk&feature=youtu.be

    At the bar:

    BLAIR: Sorry didn’t mean to interrupt your conversation with each other.
    HOLDEN: It is okay.
    LILY: I would like to know how and why the mayor handpicked you…
    HOLDEN: I would too. I guess I will have to ask him when I meet him.
    LILY: That is strange Holden. This whole job offer is just weird…
    HOLDEN: I don’t want to worry about it right now.

    Lily looks at Blair.

    LILY: Sorry, you don’t have to go quiet.
    BLAIR: I should probably introduce myself. We have been neighbors for awhile now. I am Blair Manning.
    LILY: Nice to meet you. We are the Snyders.
    HOLDEN: Holden and Lily.
    BLAIR: I would like to apologize on behalf of my family when we first moved in. I know we made a scene and the wrong first impression.
    LILY: I would say we didn’t notice, but I would be lying.
    BLAIR: Let me buy you both a drink and make a better impression!

    Cut to Sam and Trinity

    SAM: There I read my article. Your turn…
    TRINITY: Are you sure you want to hear it?
    SAM: Yes, why wouldn’t I?
    TRINITY: I don’t want it to be awkward…The title is “Do you want your country like you want your coffee?”
    SAM: I don’t get it…
    TRINITY: Fine, I’ll read it to you since many will read it when your dad publishes it.

    She takes a deep breath.

    TRINITY: (Reading)
    The United States of America. If the states are so united then why aren’t the people? I do not speak of politics. I speak of people as people. This country loves a variety. They want it all. Why not just respect and enjoy a variety of people?

    Everyone wants a new flavor of ice cream. Even more so they want a new kind of Frappuccino. Sometimes I wonder if the white people in this country want the country like they want their coffee. Anything but black.

    As a young black American girl, it is scary seeing what goes on. Even in 2015, citizens and even cops still seem to treat us like second class citizens. Crimes that white citizens would get a slap on the wrist for, we seem to get the penalty of getting killed by police. More times than not it is a black man that this happens to. However, just this past week a black woman, Sandra Bland, died after being in a routine traffic stop.

    That is right, A black woman had to die in jail for a traffic stop. It was ruled a suicide, but why would a woman who just moved to a new place for a new job and about to get out on bond hang herself with a trash bag? Video showed that she did not get physical with the officers, like police stated. They had slammed her head hard into the ground for nothing. Was it really a suicide?

    Feel that doubt inside of you right now as you read that question? That is the scary part. That is the doubt and fear we young black Americans have to grow up with. What is this country truly doing to make us not feel this way? You can put your political correctness on it, but that doesn’t help. Shocking right? Once called colored, or African Americans, we are black. We belong too.

    Sam is taken aback by all of this...

    TRINITY: …say something, please.
    SAM: Wow. That was powerful.

    --

    At the Lewis Ranch:

    Jack, Reva and Josh are finishing up dinner.

    JACK: I do want you both to know that I am hoping to get a job.
    REVA: That is great! Where at?
    JACK: The local news. When I was rushed to the hospital thanks to you guys, they found a torn up press pass in my jeans.
    JOSH: That’s right, they did.
    REVA: Do you think you will get the job?
    JACK: I let them do a story on me. That is good enough right?
    JOSH: The owner of the paper, is well, uh…
    REVA: A dumbass for marrying the woman he married.

    JACK: I sense bad blood.
    JOSH: Can you tell?
    JACK: Hopefully he will at least give me the job out of pity.
    REVA: If you do get it, watch out for his crazy wife, Blair.

    --

    Meanwhile at the hospital cafeteria, Morris is still flashing back:

    A young Morris and Eartha are sitting together on a couch.

    “If I ever fall in love” by Shai is playing in the back ground

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbJ-eEgrf1c

    YOUNG EARTHA: You are a perfect tutor. You have been able to show me so much. If you were not trying to become a doctor I would say you should become a teacher.
    YOUNG MORRIS: Thank you. Happy to help, but yeah the money is not in teaching.
    YOUNG EARTHA: This may sound over dramatic, but getting to know you these last few months has changed my life.
    YOUNG MORRIS: I’ve felt it too.
    YOUNG EARTHA: You’ve convinced me to try and become the best doctor I can be. I just feel like a better person altogether.
    YOUNG MORRIS: I don’t know if you should go that far.
    YOUNG EARTHA: No, really.

    She places her hand on his leg.

    YOUNG EARTHA: This all feels so right to me.
    YOUNG MORRIS: We must be on the same wave length then.

    She shuts her book and puts it on the floor.

    The two look into each other’s eyes…

    YOUNG MORRIS: What about your boyfriend back home?
    YOUNG EARTHA: I broke up with Elijah. I had to. I am falling for you.
    YOUNG MORRIS: Let’s fall.

    The two embrace and start to kiss and make out…

    THE SONG STOPS.

    BACK IN THE PRESENT:

    Eartha has interrupted his thoughts.

    EARTHA: You alright?
    MORRIS: Yeah…
    EARTHA: You are needed in room 10
    MORRIS: Be right there.

    Eartha walks off and Morris watches her do so…

    --

    Back at the bar, Blair has bought herself, Holden and Lily some shots!

    BLAIR: On the count of three this tequila goes down.
    HOLDEN: One…two…three!

    The three take the shots.

    LILY: I think that is enough celebrating for me!
    BLAIR: Don’t stop now.
    LILY: I am a lightweight.
    BLAIR: I haven’t had this much fun since…well since I owned my own nightclub. I feel like I made some new friends tonight.
    LILY: Us too.
    HOLDEN: We should get going. Lily has another big day tomorrow.
    BLAIR: Oh yeah you have a new fashion company…With the Reva hounds daughter right?

    LILY: ...Yeah, Marah.
    HOLDEN: They are good people.

    Blair gives them a doubtful look.

    LILY: Maybe I can be a bridge between you and Reva.

    Blair busts out laughing.

    BLAIR: Don’t waste your time, honey. (to the bartender) Ill take one more shot for the road.
    HOLDEN: Be careful getting home.
    BLAIR: You guys too.

    Blair takes her shot and follows them out.


    --

    Back to Sam and Trinity…

    They both seem to be quiet.

    TRINITY: I’d like to think that you are not uncomfortable after I read that. I just left everything I felt on the page.
    SAM: I’m a little bit uncomfortable.
    TRINITY: Why? You shouldn’t be?
    SAM: I am a white person in America, you know.
    TRINITY: I don’t feel like you are some racist for the record.
    SAM: I would hope not. It’s just. People don’t like to talk about these things with each other. Especially us teenagers. I'm not use to it.
    TRINITY: Is your dad going to be okay with this article. It is hella intense for a teen write up.
    SAM: My dad better be okay with it. It was great.
    TRINITY: Thank you Sam.
    SAM: You blew me away…high five!

    The teens high 5.

    At the Lewis ranch

    Jack is doing dishes.

    JACK: This is the least I can do…and the best part is, I remember how to do it!
    REVA: You really don’t have to do the dishes every night.
    JACK: It’s just soap and water.
    REVA: We should probably get a dishwasher but we are still country folk at heart.
    JOSH: Are you heading back to the chronicle tomorrow to try and get that job?
    JACK: I probably should. Truth is I feel uneasy about leaving the house and going out there into the world.

    REVA: It is hard, isn’t it? Not knowing who you are.
    JACK: You say that like you have experience.
    REVA: That is a different story for a different time.
    JACK: It is not even that though. I just still can’t help but feel like I am being watched.
    JOSH: Has be hard feeling that way.

    Jack, Josh and Reva start to put the dishes away.

    Meanwhile, someone does turn out to be outside again!

    The person is watching the house…

    Elijah is walking down a hall
     
    COP#1: Hey how was your fourth?
    ELIJAH: It was good. Went to a good barbecue.
     
    Elijah walks into his office and closes the door.
     
    ELIJAH: A great barbecue…with Eartha.

    He approaches a Young Eartha at her locker.
     
    YOUNG ELIJAH: Are you ready for prom tonight?
    YOUNG EARTHA: I am. What time will you be picking me up?
    YOUNG ELIJAH: Around six.
     
    Elijah starts to put on a do-rag.
     
    YOUNG EARTHA: I hope you will not be wearing that tonight.
    YOUNG ELIJAH: Don’t worry I will be dressing up… Just for you.
    YOUNG EARTHA: Good. I don’t like this gangsta stuff.

    The secretary does some clicking at her computer and seems surprised.
     
    SECRETARY: Ah yes, you are scheduled for an appointment.
    HOLDEN: Would you happen to have any idea about what this is about?
    SECRETARY: I am sorry sir, but I do not. Take a seat and you will find out shortly.

    JACK: I am looking for the guy in charge. Todd Manning.
    GARY: He is not fully in charge and he is also out at the moment. Sorry.

    YOUNG ELIJAH: So did you have fun?
    YOUNG EARTHA: It was rad
     
    They get in Elijah’s car.
     
    Eartha sees Elijahs do-rag in the backseat.
     
    YOUNG EARTHA: Don’t you think it is time to get rid of that do-rag. You are about to graduate you should not keep wearing it.
    YOUNG ELIJAH: What do you have against it? You act like I should go be a goody two shoes cop or something.
    YOUNG EARTHA: Juss' shut up and kiss me.
    YOUNG ELIJAH: You want to make out?
    YOUNG EARTHA: Maybe even a little more.
     
    Eartha turns on his radio
     
    “Real Love” by Mary J Blige is playing
     

    The two teenagers start to make out.
     
    Elijah puts his seat back.
     
    Eartha gets on top of him and the two continue to make out.
     
    YOUNG EARTHA: Fitting song.
    YOUNG ELIJAH: You think so?
    YOUNG EARTHA: Yes, because I love you Elijah. I really do.
    YOUNG ELIJAH: You know I love you too. I always have.

    MALIK: This is huge.
    DANI: It is going to be fun.
    LILY: It sure is.

    Holden is now in a room talking to someone.
     
    HOLDEN: So you are a member of the Union Creek city council?
    COUNCILMAN: I am. Thank you for accepting our interview.
    HOLDEN: It was out of the blue.
    COUNCILMAN: I'm sure it was unexpected but we were told you were the right man for the job.
    HOLDEN: May I ask what kind of job this is?
    COUNCILMAN: It is a public funding job.
     
    HOLDEN: …And what exactly is that?
    COUNCILMAN: We are looking for a small group of businessmen to take on the task of finding new ways to come up with and manage money for this town to get new places and events. We are hoping to really get this place moving.
    HOLDEN: It actually sounds fun.
    COUNCILMAN: I think so too.
    HOLDEN: But can I ask…why me?

    Cut to Ben and Luke. They are sitting together on the couch.
     
    BEN: I sense your nerves kicking up already.
    LUKE: Yeah, sorry..
    BEN: Why do you get so nervous around me?
    LUKE: I have not felt this way for a long time.
    BEN: Felt…which way?
    LUKE: Like I am so into you…and you are so into me…and we should just be leaping on each other.
    BEN: Crazy, because I feel the exact same way and you know this.
     
    LUKE: Oh I sure felt that the other day.
    BEN: But why do you fight it?
    LUKE: I…I’m afraid of this feeling. I do not know how to act.
    BEN: I say you should act like you are going to give in. I think you will with all this attention showering I have been giving you.
    LUKE: Been a crazy good feeling…
     
    Ben suddenly kisses Luke while holding Lukes face in his hands tightly

    Jack and Gary are still talking.
     
    GARY: You still have not told me who you are.
    JACK: Can’t you see…I am a friend of Todds and I want a job interview.
    GARY: Odd that you won’t tell me your name…but want an interview…
    JACK: More like…Odd that you want to know my name so bad…
    GARY: I don’t think that is odd at all! When you meet someone new it is customary actually.
    JACK: Actually…I think I should just go. Tell Todd that a…J…was here.
     
    GARY: Jay? J-A-Y?
    JACK: Nope, just the letter J! I have somewhere else I should go. Please just let him know.
    GARY: Sure.
     
    Jack exits in a hurry

    Holden is still with the councilman.
     
    COUNCILMAN: I really hope you will consider this offer. The salary is good and not to mention you were handpicked by the mayor for this position.
    HOLDEN: I was what?!
    COUNCILMAN: Handpicked by the mayor.
    HOLDEN: I don’t even know the mayor.
    COUNCILMAN: That’s surprising to hear. Mayor Woods must be fond of you to hand pick you.
    HOLDEN: I don’t know what to say.
    COUNCILMAN: Just say you’ll accept.
    HOLDEN: I’ll get back to you. Thank you very much.

    Ben grabs Lukes hand with his own and places it right between Bens legs.
     
    LUKE: Okay, okay! You win.
    BEN: What was that?
    LUKE: You win!
     
    Luke takes off his shirt and Ben takes off his own.
     
    The intensity of the moment picks up as their kisses become faster.
     
    Ben takes off Lukes pants before taking off his own.

    ELIJAH: I need to just go back to staying away from Eartha. For my own good.
     
    There is a knock at the door
    ELIJAH: Come in!
     
    It is Jack.
     
    Elijah puts away the picture.
     
    JACK: I had to come and see you. I need to know, man. What is up with the investigation into whoever held me captive?
    ELIJAH: Hey man, unfortunately we do not have any leads. I am really sorry.
    JACK: What are you doing about that? ...Other than gazing at pictures.
    ELIJAH: We have looked into all we could.
    JACK: I had to walk here. I cannot be just going around town all paranoid that whoever was holding me, and I escaped from, is still out looking for me. I guess I will have to keep it up though!
     
    ELIJAH: How about I get you an armed guard?
    JACK: No thanks. I am not that desperate.
     
    They both let out sighs

    Todd has arrived back at the union creek chronicle building:
     
    TODD: Did I miss anything good while I was at lunch?
    GARY: Some very nutcase like man came in looking for a job. He said he knew you and his name was the letter J, but that is not important.
    TODD: …Okay…what is important?
    GARY: Something you are going to love….
     
    Gary pulls out a check.
     
    GARY: The old boss has a proposition for you.
    TODD: If it involves him giving me lots of money I am all ears.
    GARY: It does. He wants you to have this check he wrote out on behalf of his company.
     
    GARY: There is more where this came from once you track down the document.
    TODD: Why couldn’t he have just done this from the start?! Instead of asinine contracts? Ask him that. Seriously.
    GARY: Does this mean you will actually work on this now?
    TODD: I vow to do whatever it takes to find this ridiculous document.
     
    Gary shoots him a look.
     
    TODD: Sorry. Meant to say this ridiculously important document!
    GARY: Excellent.
     
    Gary hands him the check…

    They sit at a table with Trinity and her little sister.
     
    LILY: I wish your parents would let us help with something.

    Jack.
     
    JOSH: Aren’t you happy to be out of the hospital?
    REVA: I hope you like your room here.

    SAM: I don’t think I want to be here.
    ZACK: I know you are the partying type. Do not even try and play me.
    SAM: I can be…but not with a bunch of strangers.
    ZACK: It is just a bunch of people from school.
    SAM: Fine but I am not staying too long!
     
    The two boys head inside.
     
    Anne is there and Sam and Zack both spot her.

    ZACK: Okay Anne being here is a little bit of a perk.
     
    Cory Sutter is also there however. He and his friends are with Anne and Mandy.
     
    ZACK: But where there is Anne there is Cory.

    TODD: You can’t believe it can you?
    BLAIR: I can’t. You’ve been so busy with work and all.

    MORRIS: Oh hell no!
     
    Eartha greets Elijah.

    ELIJAH: I was able to get away for a few.

    JOSH: Some southern style home cookin’ from Reva.
    JACK: It is great. (gives his best southern accent) Compared to the food I’ve had at the hospital and while held captive, it is the bees knees.
    MARAH: I think it was awesome of you mom to bring Jack here.
    REVA: I have my good moments.
     
    JOSH: I honestly wasn’t so sure about this at first but I think I can warm up to you, Jack
    JACK: (Southern accent again) You reckon?

    The candles giving off light.
     
    BLAIR: You have not only surprised me, but I think you have surprised yourself with all of this.
    TODD: You know Blair, sometimes ideas just hit me. Genius ones at that.
     
    Todd pours her another glass of wine.
     
    BLAIR: How did you get yourself to not stress over work tonight? Aren’t you supposed to be investigating something with your co-worker, Gary.
    TODD: Please do not bring up work and especially don’t bring up that pain in my a** Gary. I want this to be a good night.

    At the party:
    The music is blaring as the beers are flowing into teens mouths.
     
    Zack is dancing with Mandy.
     
    MANDY: I am shocked that you have some moves…well one move. Swaying. (Laughs)
    ZACK: Oh you are just hilarious. Because you are just a regular back up dancer for Beyoncé.
    MANDY: Whatever Zachery.
     
    The song stops playing and the two stop dancing.
     
    MANDY: Thank you for the dance anyway.
    ZACK: Any time Motor Mouth.
     
    She grabs a beer and walks off.
     
    Zack goes and finds Sam who is sitting down looking bored out of his mind.
     
    SAM: ...Can I go home yet? The neighbors across the street are having a barbecue and sure, I wasn’t invited because my family has made themselves the outcasts on the block, but I still would love to go sneak in.
    ZACK: Not yet, please. I need you to go and distract Cory so I can dance with Anne.
    SAM: Oh you just want me to go distract the big burly football star?
    ZACK: Yes.
    SAM: Fine…but then I’m out!
     
    --
     
    “Power trip” by J Cole starts to play:
     
     
    [:00] The BBQ continues. Holden and Lily are eating. Holden grabs Lilys hand and squeezes it before lifting it up and kissing her hand.
     
    Luke gets a text on his phone. It is from Ben wishing him a happy 4th of July! Luke smiles wide.
     
    [:16] Trinity takes a sip of her lemonade. She gazes across the street towards Sams/the Manning house.
     
    Elijah is sitting next to Malik and a few nurses from the hospital.
     
    ELIJAH: Excuse me I have to make a phone call.
     
    Elijah calls his son, Terrance...
     
    [:31] Morris walks inside the house. He takes a bottle of whiskey out of a cupboard. He takes a drink straight from the bottle. He pours a large amount into his glass of soda and takes a nice, long drink of it.
     
    He looks back outside on Eartha eating alone. Trinity goes and sits by her. Morris makes his way back outside and sits by Eartha and Trinity who both do not look pleased that he is sitting there.
     
    [:57] At the party, Sam is talking to Cory and his friends. His friends are passing a joint of marijuana around.
     
    CORY: You seem so bored here. You need a hit.
    SAM: You really going to give me one, I thought you didn’t like me?
    CORY: I don’t even know you.
    FRIEND #1: Here you go. It is legal in Colorado you know.
    SAM: Yeah, not for high schoolers, but I would love some!
     
    Sam gets the joint and takes a nice big hit off of it coughing a bit afterwards.
     
    [1:22] Zack is with Anne
     
    ZACK: Want to dance Anne?
    ANNE: Yeah, why not..
     
    The two start to dance together. As they are dancing Zack is trying to get closer and closer to her.
     
    [1:34] Cut back to Sam taking another hit of weed!
     
    CORY: Don’t be stingy now! Like it?
    SAM: I think I needed this. It has been too long since I’ve had some.
     
    He turns around and sees Zack and Anne dancing and busts out laughing.
     
    SAM: Right on.
     
    [1:48] Mandy is getting another drink. She sees Anne and Zack dancing too and isn’t all that thrilled about it.
     
    As Zack and Anne are dancing he finally gets close enough to where she is grinding on him. Zack is nothing but thrilled. She turns around and their necks and faces are close together. Both seemingly much into the dancing.
     
    [2:14] Out in the moonlight, Todd moves the wine and the candles. He and Blair are making out. He pushes her down onto the blanket.
     
    BLAIR: Are we really going to do this, Todd. Do you not think we are too old?
    TODD: Never, Blair.
     
    Todd takes off her shirt and then her bra.
     
    He starts kissing up on her neck as Blair then takes off his shirt.
     
    Todd sticks his hand down her pants before unbuttoning them.
     
    They both continue to undress as Fireworks start to go off in the distance over the mountains.
     
    Todd and Blair are making love under the moonlight and the light from the fire works…
     
    [2:45] Fireworks continue to go off beautifully lighting up the sky!
     

     
    [2:50] SONG COMPLETELY STOPS.
     
    Marah hugs her parents again.
     
    REVA: See you later. Good luck tomorrow.
    MARAH: Thank you so much.
     
    Marah is making her way to her car as she sees the fireworks going off in the distance.
     
    The light from the fireworks reveals someone in the nearby bushes.
     
    That someone watches Marah get in her car and drive away.
     
    The person then gets up and looks into the window at Jack, Josh and Reva…

    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?

    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.

    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!

    He leaves

    AT THE WOMENS SHELTER HOUSE:

    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?!

    At the college:

    Miranda continues to be uncomfy alone with JJ.

    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.

    At The Johnson house:

    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.
    HOPE: This is unbelievable…

    IN ENGLAND:
    Stefano is still at Greta’s house.

    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.

    Stefanos phone ring.

    STEFANO: Excuse me.

    Stefano walks to the guest room.

    Greta decides to go by his room as well and listen in on his phone call…

    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.

    FADE TO BLACK

    Credits roll.
