    Luke is at the union Creek chronicle.

    He is walking out of the building when he gets a call on his cell.

    He looks at his phone and its an incoming call from Ben.

    LUKE: Hello
    BEN: Luke…I am glad you answered. I was afraid you were busy at work or something.
    LUKE: I was just about to take a late lunch break actually.
    BEN: Perfect. You should come and eat here.
    LUKE: Um…and where is that?
    BEN: At my new place in town.
    LUKE: You moved in already?
    BEN: Yup and I would love to show it off.

    LUKE: Okay. Sounds good to me. As long as there is something to eat. I am starved.
    BEN: Oh don’t worry. I have plenty for you to eat..

    At the hospital:

    Eartha and Morris are at the nurses station.

    NURSE: You two need some coffee before you head home?
    EARTHA: You know my man always needs his coffee.
    MORRIS: I do have a tad bit of an addiction.

    Eartha kisses him on the cheek.

    NURSE: You two are just too cute. Always making us long for a relationship like yours.
    MORRIS: I guess that is just what we do.
    EARTHA: (Chuckles) Yeah. Guess so.
    NURSE: I better get back.

    She exits.

    Morris sighs.

    MORRIS: And the emmy goes to…Eartha Davis.

    Morris walks out of the room with his coffee.

    Eartha sighs.

    At Union Creek High:

    Sam and Zack high 5 in the halls.

    ZACK: Last day of school!
    SAM: Summer time.
    ZACK: My favorite.
    SAM: I am glad I came to this school so late in the year. Made it feel like the school year went by quickly.
    ZACK: How did your math final go.
    SAM: That is neither here nor there.

    ZACK: Well did you pass at least?
    SAM: C minus is passing right.
    ZACK: That’s true.
    SAM: I’m just happy its summer. I am looking forward to summer break in a new town.

    Tea is at her daughter Danielle’s place.

    DANI: Mom I didn’t know you were going to be in town!
    TEA: I like to be a surprise once in awhile.
    DANI: This is a pleasant surprise.

    Mother and daughter hug.

    TEA: How is life here in Colorado?
    DANI: Things are looking up!
    TEA: Oh yeah? A new boy?
    DANI: No Mom. No relationship.
    TEA: I am happy to hear that life can look up without a boy.
    DANI: Definitely. I am embarking on a new job.

    Tea is intrigued

    Todd and Blair are at the café.

    TODD: I did it Blair. I found my hit story.
    BLAIR: The guy in town with amnesia?
    TODD: Yes. This is huge. This town is not use to something so crazy like this.
    BLAIR: I don’t know this town has a hint of crazy I think, Todd.
    TODD: Well that is because we moved here.
    BLAIR: Touche.

    BLAIR: You are hyper today are you sure you need more coffee?
    TODD: I am just so pleased with this. The Jack Doe story will make everyone see that I will be a great owner of the Union Creek Chronicle. This story has to go national.
    BLAIR: Didn’t you say he didn’t want to take a picture though. That is going to hinder this story.
    TODD: It will Still—
    BLAIR: --Oh no Todd.
    TODD: (Agitated) I was talking. What Blair?

    Blair points. Reva and Josh are there.

    Reva and Josh come face to face with Todd and Blair.
    REVA: Isn’t this interesting. We see each other at the café again.
    BLAIR: Todd, this is the b*tch that assaulted me.

    Luke is at Bens place.

    LUKE: Looks great from the outside.
    BEN: I cant wait to show you around the inside…but first. We eat!
    LUKE: I hope you didn’t make a big meal or anything.
    BEN: Nothing special. Just a little chicken salad.
    LUKE: I feel bad. I should have brought a house warming gift.
    BEN: I gave you short notice and besides you are gift enough.

    LUKE: You like to flatter me don’t you.
    BEN: It is because you seem like you are not one who likes to be in the spotlight.
    LUKE: Not a lot these days. Is it that obvious?
    BEN: I just consider myself good at reading people.
    LUKE: You impress me more and more.
    BEN: But why so shy?
    LUKE: It has just been awhile since I have gotten attention is all..

    Eartha and Morris get home.

    Silence ensues as they walk around the house setting their bags down.

    Neither is saying a word to the other.

    Morris sits and starts to take off his shoes.

    Eartha sits down on a chair on the opposite side of the room.

    Morris glares at her.

    He takes a deep breath.

    MORRIS: Would you like something to drink? I am going to make myself a drink.
    EARTHA: No.
    MORRIS: Are you sure?
    EARTHA: I just want to be alone, okay.

    Morris gets frustrated and pounds his hand down on the table!

    MORRIS: Why the hell do we even still do this!?

    Morris and Eartha glare at each other…

    At Danielles place:

    TEA: Would it be okay if I brought up Todd?
    DANI: That would be ill advised.
    TEA: Okay. I respect your wishes.
    DANI: Thank you. Can we go back and talk about my job prospect?
    TEA: Yes. Tell me all about it.

    DANI: Well so far it was just a contest. A modeling contest.
    TEA: Modeling? I am surprised you want to do that?
    DANI: Trust me I didn’t at first, but when I actually started posing for pictures…it became fun.
    TEA: I am glad you enjoyed the contest but what about the actual job?
    DANI: I should find out today. I felt confident doing it though. I think I can really enjoy this.
    TEA: It is so terrific to hear to talk like this. My girl has her groove back.

    At the café:

    JOSH: I wish you would stop trying to push my wifes buttons.
    BLAIR: Did you see what she did to me awhile back? She threw coffee on me!
    JOSH: We both know that was an accident.
    TODD: I don’t want a cat fight happening in here. That is bad for my public image.
    BLAIR: Do you even care what she did, Todd?
    TODD: If my wife says she assaulted her , she probably assaulted her then.
    REVA: You were not even there! How would know?

    TODD: I take her word for it.
    BLAIR: It doesn’t matter what these two think. I know what happened and I am still trying to press charges.
    REVA: You have to be kidding me with that.
    BLAIR: Justice deserves to prevail.
    JOSH: This is ridiculous! Just when you think this town is peaceful.

    TODD: Can we be honest here for a second. Had that coffee that was thrown on my wife been hot and not iced it would have caused a lot of damage.
    REVA: First off it was not thrown.
    TODD: Okay. Tossed.
    REVA: It was an accident. We physically ran into each other!
    JOSH: Either way she doesn’t have a case! This is just plain stupid!
    TODD: Hey! Hey! Do not raise your voice at my wife.

    Todd gets in Josh’s face.

    Back to the Davis Household.

    EARTHA: That is a really good question. Why do we still do this? Oh that is right. The kids.
    MORRIS: I don’t know Eartha. I really wondered why we ever did this? Why did we even marry.
    EARTHA: Don’t even go there. Do not start and act like a victim!
    MORRIS: Dammit Eartha! I am serious. I often wonder if you ever even loved me.

    EARTHA: So absurd.
    MORRIS: I am sure that you only married me to help with your own career.
    EARTHA: Do you even hear yourself? We have been together for over twenty years. To think there was no love is asinine.
    MORRIS: I know I am right.
    EARTHA: The truth is and this truth might hurt Morris. I did love you. Very much so, but you have made it so hard to love over the years because I know now what I did not know then. You are one very disturbed man!

    Eartha angrily walks into another room.

    Morris is frustrated again and picks up a vase of flowers and throws them at the wall!

    The Bell rings at school!

    Students clear into the hall.

    Some are shouting that school is out for the summer!

    Sam gets to his locker.

    Trinity is also at her locker which is next to his.

    SAM: You should look more happy that it is summer time!
    TRINITY: Trust me I am thrilled.
    SAM: I thought I was the one with the poker face.
    TRINITY: I am just always focused on something.
    SAM: What are you focused on now?
    TRINITY: Finding a summer job.

    SAM: Ah the dreaded summer job.
    TRINITY: Yeah. Kinda sucks, but the money wont!
    SAM: I actually think I can help you with finding a summer job.
    TRINITY: Are you serious? (smiles)
    SAM: I wouldn’t lie to you.

    --

    Dani meanwhile gets a phone call.

    DANI: Hello…Hi Mrs Snyder….are you serious? How exciting! Yes I cannot wait to start there soon.

    Dani hangs up.

    TEA: That sounded like good news.
    DANI: it was. I got the job!
    TEA: Congratulations baby!

    Teah hugs her daughter.

    DANI: I didn’t think I would be this happy about a modeling job, but I am.

    At the café

    JOSH: Are you really getting in my face?
    TODD: I am just stating that you two should not keep harassing my wife.

    Todd backs away.

    BLAIR: Thank you, honey.
    JOSH: This has got to be a joke. Are we getting punk’d Reva?
    REVA: I don’t know what this is Joshua, but it is ridiculous.
    BLAIR: Reva, you will be sorry. If you keep messing with me.
    REVA: Blair, honey, was that a threat? Joshua I should probably press charges.

    Reva smirks as she walks off.

    JOSH: This needs to stop.

    Josh walks off with her.

    TODD: Those two are a piece of work.
    BLAIR: She is a piece of something alright.

    Meanwhile, Luke is giving Ben a tour of his house.

    LUKE: You struck gold with this place. Do you make a lot of money in skiing competition?
    BEN: I make enough.
    LUKE: I can see that.
    BEN: Now to the most important place of the house.

    Ben opens a door and guides Luke into the bedroom.

    LUKE: I like it. It’s spacious.
    BEN: What do you think about the bed? It is brand new too.
    LUKE: Looks comfy.

    Luke presses his hand into the bed.

    LUKE: Nice

    Luke turns back around and is met by a kiss from Ben!

    Luke is caught off guard.

    LUKE: Wasn’t expecting that.
    BEN: Loosen up and expect the unexpected

    Ben pushes Luke down onto the bed.

    LUKE: You’re wild.

    Luke tries to resist and stand up but Ben pushes him back onto the bed.

    BEN: Do not resist. I know the attraction is mutual.
    (Whispers in Luke’s ear) Why fight it?

    Ben takes off his shirt and gets on top of Luke.
    Ben then takes off Lukes shirt..

    Luke gives in and the two start to make out.

    Ben then turns Luke over face down onto the bed…

    FADE TO BLACK

    Vin is outside of Psychiatrist Jerri's office.

    He looks inside at the secretary.

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

    He looks back in and glares.

    Vin sees a patient leaving and he charges inside.

    SECRETARY: Excuse me you cannot go back there!

    Vin pushes past her and does.

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

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

    AT BRO:

    Eliza hangs up the phone and takes a deep breath.

    ELIZA: I really need to get the hang of this job.

    Paul approaches her.

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

    She drops her face into her hands.

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

    He hands her two folders.

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

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

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

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

    She stands up.

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

    They look on at each other.

    --

    Someone is at the Johnson family home.

    Steve opens the door.
    It is Roman…and Hope Brady.

    STEVE: Hope, You made it!
    HOPE: Roman said it was urgent. What is going on?
    STEVE: Please come in.

    Roman and Hope enter.

    ROMAN: Hope, you should probably take a seat.
    HOPE: I don’t like this.

    Hope raises her eyebrow.

    Kayla walks in.

    HOPE: Hi Kay.

    Kayla and Hope hug.

    HOPE: Please tell me what is up…

    Just then Carly walks in the room.

    Hope sees her and a scowl comes over her face.

    HOPE: What is SHE doing here? What is going on…

    Cut to Vin and Jerri.

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

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

    Vin is getting increasingly more angry.

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

    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

    At the casino:

    Brittany is bartending.

    The bar is kind of bare tonight.

    She becomes much happier when Billy sits at the bar.

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

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

    Meanwhile, Derrick is nearby at the slot machines.

    He gets a call from Katsu.

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

    He hangs up.

    Derrick grins as he goes back to playing the slots.

    --

    Cut to Vin, Chavo and
    Greg.

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

    Greg sits down in the corner.

    CHAVO: Got your gun ready?
    VIN: Of course. I am prepared for this. I am more than ready for this.
    CHAVO: I got us some masks.

    She closes her book.

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

    Eliza opens the door in her bra and panties…

    Miranda is caught off guard.

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

    Shirtless JJ walks up to see who it is.

    He is surprised and slightly embarrassed.

    JJ: Miranda…

    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.

    Hunter walks back to his counter.

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

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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…

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    She turns around to leave but Malik is standing right behind her.

    MALIK: Sorry I thought you were going in.

    Todd is at the hospital in Jacks room. Todd has the sound recorder on, on his phone.

    TODD: So this room was kept dark?
    JACK: Yup. No window in that room. Just me. Me and my chair.
    TODD: That is just hardcore torture.
    JACK: It beats when I was first there. They use to drug me up and I would be there just staring having the most insane thoughts. Like I was on acid or something.
    TODD: Did they feed you at least?
    JACK: They did, but not every day.
    TODD: How far back do you remember?

    JACK: It would help if I knew how long I was being held captive but I don’t know. That as far back as my memories go though. Just being in the dark. Sometimes drugged up. Sometimes not. And when I wasn’t I was just sitting there…waiting to die.
    TODD: What a horrendous experience.
    JACK: I might as well of died because now I have no memory. No life. No reason to be alive.
    Jack looks on with a blank stare as Todd is concerned…

    DANI: Aw thanks. Don’t go making me blush and all right now though.
    MALIK: Lets just think positive thoughts.
    DANI: I really like your vibe Malik. So much different than all the people in my life.
    MALIK: Happy to shine on in.
    DANI: You got this too. I think your personality will shine through in the pictures.

    Cut to Blair and Tea

    BLAIR: If this is about Todd and Dani we might as well save our breath cuz its pointless.
    TEA: It is not pointless, Blair, but it is a work in progress.
    BLAIR: I tried. I talked to your daughter. It was like a glass meeting a metal wall.
    TEA: Yeah she is stubborn but she can’t help but feel the way she does.
    BLAIR: I know. I am not blaming her. Todd really does want to build some kind of relationship with his daughter however.

    TEA: I commend him for trying. I do not want Todd pushing her though.
    BLAIR: He is not pushing her.
    TEA: I know how Todd is. He gets pushy and thinks he can get whatever he wants by doing everything his bullheaded way.
    BLAIR: You may not believe it, but he has been good so far about it.
    TEA: Yeah. so far. He wont be this patient forever. I am glad Dani is standing her ground but I think she will give in eventually.
    BLAIR: I don’t think she will. I personally Todd needs to just back off for a long time.

    TEA: But he will not.
    BLAIR: He sure won’t.
    TEA: It is only a matter of time before he goes too far. That is why I am here. I do not want that to happen. If I know Dani and I do, she is going to follow how she feels.
    BLAIR: Its too bad though. Todd and Sam have had a rough relationship but I think they are at a point of getting along well. It is possible for Todd and Dani too.
    TEA: That is nice to think, but I just want everything to stay peaceful and right now and that means a lot of distance.

    At the hospital:

    TODD: Thanks for opening up about the horrors of your situation. I just want to tell you that I can relate. I was held against my will for a very, very long time. You lose your life. I just hope this article helps you. I hope that someone from your life sees it.
    JACK: I do appreciate you coming here and doing all this, but I cant help and feel that it won’t help.
    TODD: I hope it changes your bleak outlook. A photographer will be her soon to take your picture for the article.
    JACK: Oh no. That cannot happen.
    TODD: What do you mean? How else will someone from your life recognize you being the person this article is about?
    JACK: There can be no picture of me. It sounds good on paper but what you are not realizing is whoever was holding me captive can see the picture as well and know that I am right here at the hospital. I do not want them to find me. I cannot go through that again!

    TODD: I understand where you are coming from and sorry you feel that way.
    JACK: I forgot to mention something in your interview. My name Jack. The only way we know that is my name is because it was found on an old press pass in my pocket. Ironic.
    TODD: Maybe Ill hire you if you want (Chuckles)
    JACK: Hope that’s not a joke because I may actually take you up on that.

    Morris enters Jacks room.

    MORRIS: How are you feeling today sir?
    JACK: Well physically therapy was a literal pain in my ass. My lower back is sore and it is going down to my buttocks.
    MORRIS: Your physical therapist tells me you are doing great though.
    JACK: I guess.
    MORRIS: I have to talk you about that. You are doing really well, and since you don’t have insurance and are going to owe this place a fortune…we will have to release you in the next day or two.

    JACK: Sending the amnesiac out with nowhere to go and thousands owed here. What a lovely place.
    MORRIS: They will work out your payment I am sure.
    JACK: I still have nowhere to go regardless. I just wish I could remember something so I did. It is frustrating doc.
    MORRIS: I can only imagine. I wish your memories would start to come back too.
    JACK: Will they?
    MORRIS: Every case is different, but I would like to think you have a good chance.

    ELIJAH: You lyin’
    EARTHA: How dare you accuse me of lying.
    ELIJAH: I can see right through you. Always have. Things must be rocky…again.
    EARTHA: You do not even know what you are talking about.
    ELIJAH: It just makes me think about high school…and how we should have stayed together after it.
    EARTHA: You say something similar every time we meet up, Elijah.
    ELIJAH: Well it is true. We made the best couple.
    EARTHA: I better head to work.

    JENNIFER: Thank you so much, son.
    JJ: The least I could do.
    JENNIFER: You are growing up to be a gentleman.
    JJ: I am glad you think so.
    JENNIFER: You have grown a lot the past year.
    JJ: I guess I have come a long way or at least I try to.

    JENNIFER: I just hope you don’t mind that I have moved close to you again.
    JJ: Not at all mom.
    JENNIFER: Good.
    JJ: I will be glad to have you around.

    At the strip club:

    DERRICK: I don’t get you sometimes Katsu.
    KATSU: That feeling is mutual. (he points to Derrick still being in boxers)
    DERRICK: I am serious though. Sometimes you are one of the coolest guys around and other times you are all stiff with nothing but business on the brain.
    KATSU: I get nothing but serious when it comes to business.
    DERRICK: I assure you that I do as well. You do not have to worry about me. My head is in the game.

    KATSU: I am trying to believe you.
    DERRICK: Come here. Let me show you something.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    GREG: So what wrong man? You needed to get out of the house?
    MARCINO: Yeah some old friend of my moms has been hanging around her.
    GREG: Are they together together?
    MARCINO: I hope not.
    GREG: You don’t like him?
    MARCINO: Not really.

    GREG: He an as*hole or something?
    MARCINO: I hardly know him. I don’t think she knows him either. They like knew each other in high school or something.
    GREG: Maybe you should give him a chance first?
    MARCINO: I’d rather not.
    GREG: It could be worse…

    MARCINCO: You are right. I shouldn’t be troubling you with all this after all the sh*t you have to deal with.
    GREG: No, please vent away. It helps.
    MARCINO: You can vent too you know. I know you don’t like talking about your abusive father, but it may help to get it out.

    KAYLA: Jerri is right. I thank you for letting me try and help you as well, Ali. I know it wasn’t easy to open up.
    ALI: I am thankful for how much you both care.
    JERRI: We do and this is what we think is best.

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

    Emily arrives.

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

    Paul is surprised to see her.

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

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

    At the Park:

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Luke and Ben are sitting down over lunch.

    LUKE: I was so surprised to run into you yesterday out of the blue and it turns out you were one of the people on my list to interview.
    BEN: I am glad you did and that I will get a part in your newspaper.
    LUKE: Well lets start this off then. Tell me about how you got into Skiing?
    BEN: It actually didn’t happen until I was an adult and I found this hobby. It made me feel alive again.
    LUKE: Are you from around here?
    BEN: No, but I made some trips here when I was younger, but back then I was too afraid to ski.
    LUKE: How did you get over that fear?

    BEN: Life has a way of pushing a person around until they become fearless. I just had to break out of my shell and believe me, I have broken out of it.
    LUKE: Does skiing give you a rush?
    BEN: Oh of course. Very few things can give me a rush like that but everything that does makes me feel alive.
    LUKE: Off the record…you already sound like an amazing person.

    Sam and Zack get their food.

    Zack goes and sits at an empty table. Sam looks over at Trinity and Camellas table and seems to want to sit there but he sits with Zack.

    SAM: We should go sit with Trinity and her friend again.
    ZACK: Ehhh, I don’t know. I really don’t think they like us very much.
    SAM: I don’t think that’s true at all.
    ZACK: It seems like they don’t.

    Cut to Trinity and Camella at their table.

    Trinity is looking towards Sam and Zack.

    CAMELLA: You are sure staring. Like what you see?
    TRINITY: Can’t a girl just stare now days?

    JACK: Hey…
    REVA: Hi…you don’t remember us do you?
    JACK: Oh god. You are not someone from my past are you? Because I don’t think I know you. You are not like my parents or something...
    JOSH: What?! (chuckles) no.
    REVA: We are not that old and you are no spring chicken!
    JACK: Well I am relieved.

    JOSH: We found you outside of a local coffee shop.
    REVA: Yeah, got 911 over to you.
    JACK: Well I certainly appreciate that. I was in bad shape when I…well when I got out of the predicament I was in.

    Morris walks in.

    JOSH: I hope it is okay we came to visit, Jack here.
    MORRIS: It is. Just know he has still no memory of his life at all other than recent months.
    JACK: Yup folks. It is like nothing is between my ears.

    LUKE: (whispers) now for the not so fun part of this interview.

    He clicks the recorder on his phone back on.

    LUKE: So what brings you to this resort most of the time?
    BEN: This is such a fabulous ski resort. The staff is great and there are amazing places to eat, but most importantly some of the best mountains in Colorado.
    LUKE: How many times do you choose to ski at this place over others?
    BEN: Most of the time really. I would say like eighty percent of the time even.
    LUKE: Wow. You must enjoy it immensely?
    BEN: Yes if you are looking for the best place to ski from beginners to pros, this is the place!

    Luke stops his recorder.

    LUKE: Wow, you can sell Ben! If you ever need to go into the car business, you can.

    Reva takes Morris out into the hall.

    Josh stays inside with Jack

    JOSH: So you really do not remember anything about yourself?
    JACK: I remember the terrible circumstance I have been in recently.
    JOSH: Yeah I heard about it, but lets not bring those bad memories up.
    JACK: Why not? It’s literally all I have. (chuckles)
    JOSH: Least you are carrying a sense of humor too.
    JACK: I don’t know what else to do. I can tell you that this is one surreal predicament I am in. It is like I know I have a life out there and yet here I am stripped of absolutely everything. I am a walking, talking empty bottle sailing in an ocean of the unknown.

    JOSH: I hope life turns around for you.
    JACK: I do too. I’ll have to do something regardless.
    JOSH: You are bound to find the right path. I believe that after every storm there is some still water.

    Outside in the hall:

    REVA: I feel bad for this Jack man.
    MORRIS: Believe me, I do too. This is the first case of amnesia I have ever diagnosed. He is here lost from whatever life he had. Whatever family he had and he cannot stay in this hospital forever. In fact I will have to release him soon even though he has nowhere to go.
    REVA: He cant just be some transient.
    MORRIS: There is nowhere in this town equipped for someone like him other than a homeless shelter.
    REVA: I am certain he has a home.
    MORRIS: The problem is he does not know where his home could be. No idea whatsoever. He is actually homeless.

    BEN: I just moved to Union Creek from northern Colorado!
    LUKE: Wow. (big smile) That means we can stay in touch.
    BEN: We will definitely have to stay in touch.
    LUKE: I was so not looking forward to this trip but I am happy I did.
    BEN: So happy, you devoured your meal. You have some crumbs on you.

    Ben gets up and wipes some crumbs off of Lukes chest.

    LUKE: How embarrassing.

    Ben and Lukes faces come close together.

    BEN: Don’t be embarrassed.

    Ben stares Luke in the eyes for a moment before sitting back down.

    Luke nervously swallows.

    BEN: I do have to get going though and actually hit the slopes.
    LUKE: I…I hope you have fun.
    BEN: It has already been one fun morning. So I will continue that trend. Ill catch you around Union Creek.
    LUKE: Plan on it.

    Ben walks off.

    LUKE: I have not been hit on like that in a long time. It sure feels good. Noah Mayer eat your heart out.

    ZACK: Maybe.
    SAM: She seems like the type.
    ZACK: What’s that suppose to mean?
    SAM: Hey, hey. Don’t get over protective of her already!

    The bell rings.

    ZACK: Crap, time for the next class so soon.
    SAM: That felt like a long lunch to me.

    Trinity walks by and Sam stops her.

    SAM: Hey Trinity, since we have the next class together I’ll walk with you.
    TRINITY: I’d like that (smiles)

    Camella side eyes them.

    SAM: I hate math.
    TRINITY: Oh my god you don’t even know. It is my worst subject by far.

    JOSH: There is bound to be someone in town that will help him.

    REVA: Yeah I think I know someone.
    JOSH: Great! Who…oh…I think I see where you are going with this. I don’t know Reva, I feel uncomfortable with some stranger living with us.
    REVA: I think it would be perfect. Jack can come and live on the ranch with us while he gets back on his feet!

    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…

    However all of a sudden the loading stops.

    STEVE: It shouldn't be stopping.

    The signal he had then goes off too.

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

    He pulls her aside.

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

    Katsu looks over at them from across the room.

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

    TERRANCE: Yes.
    CARLY: Is something wrong?
    TERRANCE: No. I am just checking on how his investigating in Europe went. Just grading him for the higher ups.
    CARLY: I think Bo of all people does his job well.
    TERRANCE: This is probably true…but I need to know if you saw him in Europe while you were there.
    CARLY: I did. Just one day. We had coffee.
    TERRANCE: Did he divulge any information on his investigation?
    CARLY: You’re lying. Something is wrong isn’t it?

    BRITTANY: It is going to be so nice having you in town.
    BILLY: I am just so glad there is a familiar face here. My move here may have been fate.

    MIRANDA: I don’t think I would make a good model, sir
    KATSU: I think that’s blasphemy.
    MIRANDA: I would not know how to pose and all of that
    KATSU: Could easily be taught. Well My name is Katsu Itami. If you ever want a job. Look me up online. I’m easy to find.

    Katsu goes back to his seat.

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

    Terrance gets up.

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

    The two exit the room.

    Steve makes a phone call to Shane.

    STEVE: Is there any progress on finding Bo’s last documentations? I know he was keeping track of what he was doing….we have to find it. We find them and we find out why Bo came here…yes….find a way, Shane.

    He hangs up in a huff.

    STEVE: You just have to hang on wherever you are, dude. We will find you, Bo.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Todd is on his computer.

    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.
    TODD: Yes, yes I know. As soon as you find out what kind of document I am looking for I will make sure to work harder!

    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.

    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?
    ELIJAH: Look sir, I am sorry we found nothing. Forensics is looking it over. I’m not sure this town is use to something like this. I am not sure how I am going to combat something so sinister.

    Jack looks on disappointed by all this.

    Elijah looks on worried.

    EARTHA: In time yes.

    Elijah walks in wearing his cop uniform.

    ELIJAH: Hi Eartha. How are you?

    He hugs her.

    EARTHA: Better than my patient here.
    JACK: I swear I didn't do anything officer.
    ELIJAH: At least you have your wits about you, Jack.
    JACK: Is Jack, really my name?
    EARTHA: We believe so.

    ELIJAH: I just have to ask where you have been and what brought you here and why you don’t remember your life?
    JACK: If I knew that, I think I would remember my life. All I know is I have been held captive in some room, in some house over the hill for a long, long time now.

    SAM: Alright fine. Hope to see you around a lot, Trinity.

    Zack and Sam walk off.

    CAMELLA: He seems really nice..and really into you.
    TRINITY: You think he’s into me?
    CAMELLA: Yeah. Is there a problem with that.
    TRINITY: Well not really. He is nice, but im neighbors with his family and his parents seem crazy. His mom is so loud and slams doors. Though I can’t really talk, I guess.

    Elijah is still asking Jack questions

    ELIJAH: Did you ever get to see who was holding you captive?
    JACK: I did not. They were usually wearing masks when in my presence.
    EARTHA: I hope you are not uncomfortable to talk about all of this.
    JACK: How else can we find who did this to me?
    ELIJAH: You’re right. That is why I need to know any kind of clues you may have to catch these sick individuals.

    JACK: All I know is they kept me in the same room. Sometimes tied up and sometimes not. Left in the dark and only fed once in a while.
    EARTHA: This sounds horrific.
    JACK: Yeah. You could call it that.
    ELIJAH: I am going to get to the bottom of this. Going to get a warrant to search that house!

    At the school

    Cory is in Sam’s face.

    SAM: Who sh*t in his cereal today?
    ZACK: He is just a popular douchebag who thinks he owns the school.
    SAM: Well he better not try that with me again.
    ZACK: Try not to get in a fight.

    Zack becomes distracted as a cheerleader walks by .

    SAM: Earth to Zack..

    MORRIS: I have to go. Thanks for bringing me lunch.

    Meanwhile, Elijah and Eartha exit Jacks room.

    EARTHA: This is sick and twisted.
    ELIJAH: This town isn’t use to something like this.
    EARTHA: There is something else you should know. The patient also has what seems to be scars from a whip on his back. They are couple years old so this man may have been going through hell for a long time.
    ELIJAH: My god

    EARTHA: Good luck on this investigation.
    ELIJAH: Thank you and we still need to have coffee some time.
    EARTHA: I’m down.

    Morris returns as Elijah walks off…

    Elijah sees Malik in the halls.

    ELIJAH: Young Mr Davis. Have you considered joining the police force yet?
    MALIK: I have thought about it sir. I still don’t think it is for me.
    ELIJAH: Just remember the option is always there when you want a career.

    MORRIS: How is the patient, Eartha? Has he regained any memory?
    EARTHA: He has not.

    Morris walks into the room.

    JACK: Another doctor. Wasn’t I the one who had a press pass on me? All these questions are making me feel like I’m on the opposite end.
    MORRIS: All I want to know is what your very first memory is. How far back can you remember?

    Jack thinks back

    [He recalls waking up tied up in a darkened room]

    JACK: All I recall is just waking up in that drab room.

    The expression on Jacks face changes and he becomes quiet.

    MORRIS: I am going to help you get back on your feet. I promise.

    Jack doesn’t say anything.

    MORRIS: What happened?
    EARTHA: I don’t know. He has been talkative all morning.

    Jack just looks on in a trance like state…

    MORRIS: I think something vicious is hindering this mans memory. Some kind of trauma.
    EARTHA: I think you are right.

    The camera slowly zooms in on Jacks eyes staring into space…

    TODD: Hi Dani
    DANI: What the hell are you doing here?
    TODD: Is that really how you are going to greet dear ol dad?
    DANI: I do not want to do this right now. I was having such a nice evening.
    TODD: I just wanted you to know we are both in the same town now.
    DANI: Mom, already told me. It was bad enough when she did.

    TODD: I figured you would be a little upset to hear this, but I don’t want you to be.
    DANI: More than a little upset. This place was nice and quiet for me.
    TODD: I won’t get in your way.
    DANI: Right.
    TODD: I know we do not get along but I would really love if you did see me as your father. I can be that father figure.

    Eartha and Morris Davis are with the mystery man (face still not shown) in a hospital room.

    EARTHA: He was so disoriented when he came in.
    MORRIS: Definitely dehydrated and who knows what else.
    EARTHA: Gotta run some blood tests and probably even a few CT scans.
    MORRIS: Whoever he is, he has had a rough time lately.

    Eartha approaches a nurse.

    EARTHA: We need you to get a hospital gown on this man. We’re gonna have to admit him.

    Back out to the waiting room with Reva and Josh

    The resident Cop, Elijah walks in.

    ELIJAH: Hello. I was told I’d find you here. I have a few questions.
    JOSH: Oh is this about the guy we helped..is he okay?
    REVA: He’s not a felon is he?
    ELIJAH: This isn’t about that. I have a few questions for you Reva Shayne Lewis.
    REVA: What is this about?

    ELIJAH: I just have a few questions about an alleged assault outside of a café on a Blair Manning.

    Reva is in total shock to hear this.

    REVA: Oh my god! You can’t be serious!

    Holden and Lily are still sitting and sipping their wine.

    LILY: I can’t thank you enough.
    HOLDEN: For what? No need to butter me up, Lily.
    LILY: It's just you've done so much for me. You relocated here, just for me and my pursuit of Chic Spirit with Marah Shayne.
    HOLDEN: I just want you both to have a chance to be successful. I know you will.

    LILY: I am so glad we worked our way back to each other.
    HOLDEN: Me too. It was meant to be.
    LILY: But what are you going to do here in town? I know you don’t want to just be the doting husband.
    HOLDEN: I personally think I would excel at that career.
    LILY: (smiles) You’re right.
    HOLDEN: BUT, I have my share of business experience…thanks to ol Lucinda. I think I would love to help with the business side of your, well, Business.
    LILY: I think that will be great!

    --

    In the hospital waiting room:

    REVA: That crazy Blair lady is pressing charges on me? I didn’t do anything!
    JOSH: She didn't, man. Was an accident.
    ELIJAH: She claims that you threw coffee on her.
    JOSH: She did not!
    REVA: I can tell you exactly what happened.

    ELIJAH: Please do. I need to know your side of the events.
    REVA: I spotted a man who did not look to be in good health. Josh and I got up to tend to him. He started to collapse and I moved away and Blair happened to be walking out of the café. We ran into each other and the coffee went on her. It was a total accident.
    JOSH: It was indeed an accident.

    Elijah looks on…

    --

    Danielle has her back turned to Todd.

    TODD: I really think we need to talk this out.
    DANI: There is nothing to talk about. I just don’t like you.
    TODD: What have I even done to you?
    DANI: I built a life thinking Victor was my father. I cannot just turn on a dime and think of you as my father! I am sorry but I do not know how to do that!

    TODD: Then let me help. I truly want to reach out and be your father. Victor is not around. He could be dead for all we know.
    DANI: Do not say that.
    TODD: You have to start being a realist!
    DANI: You don’t get to tell me what to do and how to be. You are not my father!
    TODD: But that’s the thing Danielle. I am. I am your father!

    Dani has tears in her eyes.

    DANI: I want you to leave.

    Todd grabs a pen and some paper and writes down his phone number.

    TODD: I hope you change your mind and let me reach out. Let me at least try.

    Todd exits out into a rain storm..

    “Need to destroy” by THC starts to play:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDly7xZzmg0

    [:00] The camera pans out in the rain and through Holden and Lilys window. They are kissing again. Holden blows out the candles.

    [:10] Cut inside. Holden picks Lily up and carries her to the bedroom. He sets her down on the bed. They start kissing again. Lily starts groping on Holden. Holden takes off his shirt. He starts to undo Lilys pants. They start to make love..

    [:33] Todd arrives home. Both he and Blair look upset.

    TODD: Whats wrong?
    BLAIR: I was going to ask you the same thing?
    TODD: It’s just been a rough first day in town.
    BLAIR: Tell me about it.
    TODD: I need a massage.
    BLAIR: Don’t look at me. I need one too! I had coffee all over me Todd. All over.
    TODD: What?
    BLAIR: Just give me a massage.
    TODD: Fine.

    Todd starts to massage her. He also starts kissing on her neck some.

    [1:02] Danielle sits alone in the dark with just a dim lamp on. She looks thousands of miles away lost in thought.

    She looks out the window into the pouring rain..

    [1:18] At the hospital waiting room.

    REVA: I’m sure there is some camera footage near the cafe. Just go watch that and see that she is creating drama.
    ELIJAH: I will continue to look into this. We’ll be in touch.

    He walks off. Reva is exasperated and hugs Josh.

    JOSH: I can’t believe this.
    REVA: I told you she was crazy!

    [1:35] In the halls of the hospital Elijah is happy to run into Eartha.

    ELIJAH: So glad to run into you.
    EARTHA: Too bad I cant talk right now.
    ELIJAH: Ah okay
    EARTHA: I’ll have to catch you later.

    She walks off and Elijah watches her walk away.

    [1:46] Eartha heads back to the mystery mans room. Morris is inside.

    MORRIS: Was there any possession this John Doe had, to find out who he is?
    EARTHA: The nurse found no wallet or ID, but did find a torn piece of paper.

    Eartha has the paper in her hand.

    MORRIS: After talking to him I don’t think he even knows who he is.

    The man seems to be coming to.

    MORRIS: Can you tell me who you are sir?

    The man says nothing

    MORRIS: Do you even know who you are?
    MYSTERY MAN: I…I don’t.
    MORRIS: Do you at least know your name?
    MYSTERY MAN: …No

    EARTHA: I think this really does confirm that he has amnesia.
    MORRIS: Definitely so

    Eartha hands Morris the torn piece of paper.

    It seems to be some sort of press pass.

    There is a name on it…

    .
    .
    .

    The Mystery man has just collapsed. He made his way over a hill and is now just entering the city. He looks on towards the city.

    MYSTERY MAN: So close…I must get back up…

    The man struggles to get back to his feet.

    He is able to…

    --

    Cut to a nearby park.

    Marah Lewis is out for jog.

    Malik Davis is also out for a jog.

    The two end up getting in each other’s way and Malik almost knocks her over.

    Marahs shoe comes off in the process.

    MALIK: I am so sorry.
    MARAH: It’s okay. You were just running hard.
    MALIK: You were too! I think your shoe would agree.
    MARAH: Guess I better pick that up.

    She bends over to pick up her shoe and as she does Malik makes sure to check her out.

    She puts her shoe back on and turns back around.

    MALIK: Well let me introduce myself. Malik Davis.
    MARAH: I’m Marah Lewis.

    The two shake hands.

    Josh and Reva are sitting outside of a café sippin on some coffee.

    REVA: I am so happy for our daughters adventure.
    JOSH: Me too. I am glad we can help out.
    REVA: Look at us Josh. Refusing to get old and trying to keep up with our kids.
    JOSH: I think we do a good job.

    He kisses her hand. They are both smiling.

    However, Revas smile soon changes as she sees Blair
    walking towards the Café.

    Reva and Blair make eye contact and neither are pleased.

    BLAIR: Excuse me. What are you staring at?
    REVA: Oh don’t flatter yourself. I’m just wishing we didn’t have to run into each other again.
    BLAIR: I’d love to never see your face again either!
    JOSH: Not this again.

    AT THE UNION CREEK CHRONICLE:

    Todd is still upset.

    Tea and Gary look on.

    TEA: I think you should just calm down and honor the contract, Todd.
    TODD: I am not just gonna calm down! This damn weird clause in the contract.

    He turns to Gary.

    TODD: Listen, Cary! You tell--
    GARY: --Its Gary!
    TODD: Just tell your boss he doesn’t want to mess with Todd Manning.
    GARY: Look, there is no need for threats. I can even help you out with this investigative assignment.
    TODD: You know what I want from you?
    GARY: What is that?
    TODD: To leave the damn room!

    Todd opens the door and Gary does leave. Todd slams the door.

    TODD: This is upsetting.
    TEA: I am upset too.
    TODD: Good, you should be! I am glad you are in this with me.
    TEA: I’m not upset about this.
    TODD: Then what’s wrong?

    TEA: You Todd. You had to move here of all places. You know Danielle moved here to Union Creek to get away awhile and go to college. But here comes you… following her!

    Todd looks on

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87IkQB5bKzo

    At the park:

    Marah and Malik are still talking.

    MALIK: So you are new to town?
    MARAH: I have been here about a month. Getting a new fashion company off the ground!
    MALIK: Fashion? I like fashion. Though don’t let my old running gear tell you otherwise.
    MARAH: You look fine and yes fashion. Me and Lily Snyder are going into business together.

    MALIK: Lily Snyder? Wow. That is my neighbor!
    MARAH: Oh cool! Small world.
    MALIK: It is, but I am glad it is. Might mean I’ll see you more.

    Marah smiles.

    At the chronicle:

    Luke Snyder corners Gary.

    LUKE: What was that about?
    GARY: What do you mean?
    LUKE: Don’t play coy. You and the new boss were in that room together. What were you talking about?
    GARY: Can’t I get to know my new boss?
    LUKE: I think this means you knew more than you were letting on in the first place.
    GARY: You are jumping to conclusions man!
    LUKE: I’m not dumb. I’m an investigative journalist after all. I’ll find out what’s going on.

    Gary smirks

    --

    Cut to Todd and Tea

    TODD: I did not follow Dani here.
    TEA: It is quite the coincidence Todd and you two already have a tumultuous relationship. How do you think she is going to see your move here?
    TODD: She will see that her loving father will be near in case she ever needs him.
    TEA: Keep wishing. Just don’t mess with her.

    TODD: I am not going to stay away from her if that’s what you mean!
    TEA: That is not what I am saying at all. I just want you to mend the non-relationship you two have.
    TODD: I would love to Tea. She doesn’t make it easy! She truly is your daughter.
    TEA: Just don’t mess it up Todd.

    She exits the room

    --
    Outside of the café…

    Reva and Blair are having another show down.

    REVA: Just go away and get your coffee.

    Blair turns to Josh

    BLAIR: (To Josh) I will go inside. And I hope this is the last time I have to see your wife.
    REVA: I am right here. You can talk to me.
    BLAIR: No thanks.

    Blair walks into the café

    REVA: She better walk away.
    JOSH: Don’t start to get all riled up Josh.
    REVA: I am not don’t you worry. I see her for what she is. Just a b*tch.
    JOSH: I don’t think this caffeine is gonna help you not get riled up though.
    REVA: I think--

    Just then Reva sees something.

    It is the mystery man limping in street.

    REVA: Oh my god..

    --

    Back at the chronicle

    LUKE: I am going to keep hounding you until you tell me what you know about the buyout of the paper…
    GARY: I don’t know why. I really do not know anything.
    LUKE: I can tell by the smirk you keep trying to hold in that is a lie.
    GARY: Believe what you must.

    Gary sits down at his desk.

    LUKE: Just tell me so I don’t have to keep annoying you?
    GARY: I’ll tell you this…a good journalist never gives up his sources.

    --

    Outside of the café

    Reva has spotted the mystery man (who’s face we still cannot see) limping along.

    REVA: …That man needs help, Joshua!
    JOSH: He does look very ill or something

    Josh and Reva get up as the man walks towards them. He is wobbling around.

    The Mystery Man starts to fall.

    Reva gets out of the way. As she is doing so Blair is walking out of the café with her iced coffee.

    Reva runs right into Blair!

    The ice coffee goes all over Blair. She stands there in shock.

    BLAIR: No. you. didn’t.

    Reva can’t help but crack a smile.

    REVA: My, my. Looks like you made a mess.

    Meanwhile, Josh has caught the mystery man from falling to the ground.

    JOSH: Reva, call 911!

    Reva Shayne and Blair Manning

    are having a stare down in front the the Mannings new house…

    Josh looks on at the tension filled stare down slightly embarrassed.

    REVA: You’re really saying we cannot park here for 20 minutes?
    BLAIR: I believe that is what I said without stuttering, yes.
    REVA: Can you believe this chick Joshua?
    JOSH: Reva, we can just park next to the Snyders. It’s not a big deal.
    REVA: I just don’t like a b*tch being a b*tch for no reason!

    BLAIR: Get lost troll!
    JOSH: Hey! Hey! That’s enough.
    REVA: Troll? You did not--
    BLAIR: --Get off my property before I call the police for harassment!
    JOSH: Were going. Trust me, we’re going.

    Josh grabs Reva by the arm and yanks her to the car.
    Reva is visibly upset.
    They get inside the car.

    REVA: no respect.
    JOSH: That was not the turn I saw this day going.
    REVA: That’s one thing I miss about Springfield. Nobody in this town knows who I am. I’m Reva Shayne Lewis!
    JOSH: At this rate they’re gonna learn real quick Reva. (sighs)
    REVA: Damn Straight.

    Sam meanwhile comes outside and approaches his mom.

    SAM: Is everything okay?
    BLAIR: Yes. Thankfully the nutcase just left.

    Josh parks the car in front of the Davis household.

    ---

    Cut to inside the Davis house.

    Malik Davis is having it out with his younger teenage sister Trinity .

    She is dressed in tight and revealing clothing.

    MALIK: You are not going to wear that out to the store.
    TRINITY: And why not?
    MALIK: You can’t be showin’ ass at the grocery store.
    TRINITY: I am not showing ass.
    MALIK: Basically. If your little sis saw you in that. No. She’d get too many ideas for the future.

    TRINITY: I don’t know why you’re complaining. You drool over girls with tight clothes on. I seen it.
    MALIK: And that’s exactly why I don’t want you wearing it. You’re 16! Nobody needs to be drooling.
    TRINITY: Practically 17, but Ill change. Not because of your preachin’ but were starting to sound like the new neighbors across the street who woke up the whole neighborhood earlier.
    MALIK: Fine by me.

    --

    At the Union Creek Chronicle:

    Todd shakes the hands of
    Luke Snyder and Gary LuCroy .

    LUKE: So you are our new boss?
    TODD: Todd Manning, at your service.
    GARY: Hi Todd. I’m Gary.
    TODD: Gary huh? I think I’ve read your articles. Maybe.
    GARY: So the deal is already final?
    TODD: Well I don’t think it’s quite final but it should be today. My attorney will be here any moment now.

    LUKE: I look forward to seeing what you bring to the table.
    TODD: I think I should be the one telling you that.

    In walks Tea Delgado

    TODD: There she is. She’s good boys.
    TEA: Not good enough. We have a problem.

    The smile fades from Todds face.

    --

    Cut to the mystery man …

    Face still not shown.

    He has broken out of the room he was tied up in.

    He looks around to see that he is in what looks like a normal home.

    The camera acts as the man’s eyes as he sees A normal house set up.

    Bookshelf,couch, table, tv.



    He limps his way out of the front door…

    Reva, Josh, Marah , Holden and Lily have finished their meeting.

    LILY: This is going so smooth
    HOLDEN: Almost too smoothly
    LILY: Well don’t say that and jinx something.
    HOLDEN: I’m not.

    MARAH: We already have a building bought. All that is left to do is move in.
    LILY: Chic Spirit designs will be off and running before you know it!
    JOSH: I am thrilled for you guys!
    REVA: Me too.
    MARAH: Thank you guys.

    Marah hugs her parents.

    MARAH: We should get going.
    REVA: Before I go can I just mention your neighbor.
    LILY: The one across the street? She just moved in today.
    REVA: Well for lack of better words…she’s kind of a b*tch.
    MARAH: Mom stop!
    JOSH: She never does.

    HOLDEN: That whole family seemed off though.
    LILY: They did. They were loud and dramatic. They remind of the Ryan Family I knew back in Oakdale.
    REVA: Well I wish they wouldn’t have moved here.
    LILY: I’m starting to already wish they didn’t move next to us.

    AT UNION CREEK CHRONCILE

    TODD: Problem? What Problem Tea?
    TEA: Probably shouldn’t talk about this in public.
    TODD: We’ll go chat in one of these offices.
    LUKE: You probably shouldn’t go in there if the contract didn’t go through and you’re not the owner.
    TODD: Oh, can it! Don’t you have a fluff piece to write or something?

    Todd and Tea enter the office and close the door.

    LUKE: Well that was rude.
    GARY: You probably should go work on your story for tomorrow.
    LUKE: Fine

    Luke goes and sits down, but he watches as Gary puts his ear next to the door Todd and Tea are in.

    Inside the office:
    TODD: What the hell is going on?
    TEA: I found a mess up and it’s on your part. Did you read the contract?
    TODD: No. That’s why I sent it to you.
    TEA: Yes, sent it to me the day before it’s about to go through. My life does not and will not revolve around you Todd.
    TODD: It’s your job.
    TEA: While doing my job I saw that you did not read the fine print.
    TODD: What fine print?

    He yanks the contracts out of her hand.

    Just then Gary walks in.

    TODD: Get out. This is a private discussion Perry.
    GARY: Um, it’s Gary and I came in because I know exactly what the problem is…

    --

    Cut to the mystery man…

    The house he was in is all by itself and right down a hill.

    He looks up at the hill.

    MYSTERY MAN: How am I going to do this?

    The man tries his best to start limping up the hill…

    --

    Trinity arrives back to the Davis household from the grocery store.

    She starts to get bags out of the back seat.

    Sam sees her from across the street and decides to approach her.

    SAM: Hi there. Need some help?
    TRINITY: Hello. No thank you. I can get it
    SAM: Oh
    TRINITY: One of the new neighbors?
    SAM: Yeah, I hope my mom and Todd didn’t make too much of a scene.
    TRINITY: Well um…ummm…
    SAM: It’s okay I know they did. They’re loud.
    TRINITY: It’s okay my parents can be too.

    Silence ensues after that…
    Awkward silence.

    TRINITY: Well I better bring these in. My arms are getting tired. See you around.
    SAM: Yeah, See you around.

    --

    The Mystery man has managed to make it all the way over the hill.

    He is right into entering the city now.

    However his weakened state is getting worse and so is his walking.

    MYSTERY MAN: Come on legs. I know you haven’t been getting a lot of exercise lately but come on!

    He keeps limping along best he can.

    He collapses…

    --

    Inside the office at the Chronicle

    TODD: What do you know?
    GARY: Well it’s like this. I was the right hand man to the old owner. I know he had a clause in that contract.
    TEA: You know about the wishes for some kind of investigation?
    GARY: Yes. In order to fully and completely own the paper you must complete one last investigation for this paper that the old boss wants done.
    TODD: And what would that be?
    GARY: You must find a document that a Mr or Mrs X has. It is highly important, that document.
    TODD: Mr or Mrs X? and what kind of document?

    GARY: That is as much as I know right now.
    TODD: What are you even talking about? What is he talking about Tea?
    TEA: I am not clear on this either.
    TODD: You’re being as vague as your personality, Perry.
    GARY: That is all the info I have at this moment.
    TODD: So I must look for some random document that could be anywhere in the entire world? That’s not a needle in a haystack at all.

    GARY: I am sure I will find more information in time.
    TODD: This is just stupid. Maybe I won’t buy the paper after all.
    GARY: It’s too late. You already signed the contract and it has been filed. You are now at least signed on for 90 days. If you wish to complete the buying process you will just do this for the old boss.
    TODD: This is asinine. Is this true Tea?
    TEA: It sure is.

    Todd is quite pissy by all of this…

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

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

    ANGIE: I think she will eventually make a complete recovery.
    JESSE: I hope you are right.
    ANGIE: You have to stop beating yourself up tho. Please.
    JESSE: I just should not have let her get into this line of work.
    ANGIE: She just wanted to be like her dad.

    Cut to Jennifer and Lucas

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

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

    JJ: I try.

    MIRANDA: Are you excited for any of your upcoming classes?
    JJ: Not really. I’m no scholar. The only classes I am looking forward to are my classes that involve music.
    MIRANDA: No Way! I love my music classes too. I’m sure we will have some of the same classes together.
    JJ: Wow. Awesome!

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

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

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

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

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

    She exits and goes to her car.

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

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