Days22

First off poor Opal. I am glad that Angie is going to try her hand at helping with this. Krystal and fake JR was a nice disgruntled interaction. I am looking forward to seeing the aftermath of all of this. I think I i mentioned before about how much I love the Erica/Jackson/Liza/Caleb. This is a tense quad. Probably my favorite story going on this show. I also of course love the use of history with Erica and her drinking. Will this cause Jackson to be even more mad at her or to want to try and help? Liza and Caleb continue to be volatile. I like both of them though. I hope the quad continues to stay dramatic.

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 -- Lucas is at his office at mad world. 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. He cackles FADE TO BLACK Credits roll *I do not own any non original characters nor any pics

At School: The bell rings. School is out for the day as students are rushing out of classes. Anne is with her friend Mandy. MANDY: Girl could you stare at Cory any harder in there? ANNE: I do not know what you are talking about. MANDY: I can tell you are crushing on Cory Sutter. Don’t try and lie. ANNE: He is cute, but there is no crushing. MANDY: Sure. Elsewhere Sam and Trinity are still in a class room. Miss Morgan is the teacher. SAM: Thanks for letting us stay for extra help Miss Morgan. TRINITY: Yeah Math finals have creeped up so soon. MISS MORGAN: Any help that I can give. That is really what I am here for believe it or not. Giving educations. SAM: Who would have thought? MISS MORGAN: You two can take a seat closer. Sam and Trinity sit in desks closer to the board and right next to each other. SAM: I’m just glad someone in here is as bad at this as I am. TRINITY: Hey now I am not bad! I just struggle a little. SAM: Whatever helps you sleep at night -- The modeling contest has began! Inside of the new Chic Spirit building. Dozens and dozens of people are inside waiting in a line. Danielle is outside of the building. She gazes into the window. DANIELLE: This is so not my place. She seems nervous DANIELLE: I should not go through with this. I know that Lily woman really liked me but still. I do not know how to be a model. I’m out of here. She turns around to leave but Malik is standing right behind her. MALIK: Sorry I thought you were going in. DANIELLE: I thought I was too, but I guess I’m not. MALIK: Are you here for the contest? You are not chickening out are you? DANIELLE: That is exactly what I am doing. MALIK: Oh come on I don’t think you should. I was nervous about coming to this thing too, but its worth a try. We can go in together if that will help. DANIELLE: It helps a little. The two walk inside. MALIK: I am Malik by the way. DANIELLE: I’m Dani. Nice to meet you. -- Blair is at home. She closes the fridge. BLAIR: I really need to hire someone to shop for us. Guess I should finish the list. She picks up a piece of paper. On the paper is : New purse, new shirt, earrings. She adds milk to the list. There is a knock at the door. Blair is very surprised to open the door to Tea . TEA: Hi there Blair BLAIR: Tea. Was so not expecting you. TEA: Consider this a good surprise. BLAIR: I do don’t worry. Blair hugs Tea. BLAIR: How are you these days? TEA: I am getting by. Todd isn’t here is he? BLAIR: No. TEA: Good. We need to chat. -- 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… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x75BmwP7bhg At school: Anne walks off from her locker. ANNE: See you tomorrow Mandy. MANDY: See ya Mandy closes her locker and is about to leave, but Zack stops her. ZACK: Hi Motor Mouth Mandy. MANDY: You know I do not like to be called that. ZACK: If you weren’t known for telling everyones business you wouldn’t be called that. MANDY: I do not tell everyones business. ZACK: Whatever you say. I do want the low down on Annes business though. I heard you both talking. MANDY: Were you eavesdropping on us? ZACK: Don’t be offended. I just want to know about Anne and Cory. -- In Miss Morgans classroom: She finishes writing something on the board. MISS MORGAN: I hope that helped with the problems you were having. SAM: A little. TRINITY: I am pretty sure I get it now. SAM: I get it a little… TRINITY: If you need more help I can try to help, Sam. MISS MORGAN: Yeah I have to get going. I wish you both luck though. SAM: I am going to need some of that. TRINITY: Thanks for the help Miss Morgan. The two exit the room. TRINITY: Hey Sam I need a favor. SAM: Whats up? TRINITY: Well I usually get a ride home from Camella when my parents are using both cars, but since I had to stay after, shes already gone home. SAM: You need a ride? That is no problem. Its not like were neighbors who live across the street from each other or anything. TRINITY: (Smiles) Well thank you. I really appreciate it. -- At Chic Spirit: Danielle and Malik are standing together in line. DANI: You look like the nervous one now? MALIK: I am just trying to imagine what poses they want and how I am probably going to look a fool. DANI: I know what you mean. I hope this isn’t complicated. MALIK: We are probably over thinking it. It can’t be that bad. DANI: I sure hope not. Last thing I want to do is look a fool! MALIK: You are really beautiful. I think you got this. 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. -- Malik walks into another room at Chic Spirit. Marah shakes his hand. MARAH: Very happy that you showed up. MALIK: Pleased to be hear miss Marah. MARAH: Lose the shirt. MALIK: Straight to the point. I like that in a woman. Marah watches as he poses for pictures. She smirks. MARAH: I think we’ve got some good ones. MALIK: I did okay? MARAH: Not so stiff next time but you did great! Super pleased that you came. Meanwhile, Danielle enters another room. She starts to pose for pictures too. She Is awkward at first but then starts to get the hang of it… -- At school: ZACK: So motor mouth what do you know about Cory and Anne? MANDY: Stop calling me that! …but I think Cory and Anne will be dating soon. For sure. ZACK: Oh. Zack seems very depressed to hear that. MANDY: is that all you wanted to know? ZACK: Yeah, thanks. Zack walks off. ZACK: God dammit -- Sam and Trinity arrive home to Robinson Street. TRINITY: I do appreciate the ride home. Thank you. She puts her hand out to shake his. SAM: Really? You can do better than that. He brings her into a hug. She reluctantly hugs back. SAM: That’s more like it. TRINITY: I will see you tomorrow. Good luck on your test. SAM: Thanks. Sam watches her walk across the street. He then goes inside. BLAIR: Hey son. SAM: Hi mom. BLAIR: So I have a favor to ask and it is not going to be easy. SAM: Great. What is it? BLAIR: Talk to your sister Danielle. Reach out to her. SAM: And try and get her to talk to Todd? BLAIR: If that comes up… SAM: Guess I better work on my ducking skills. -- Todd returns to the UC Chronicle Gary is first to greet him. GARY: You are back! I thought you were out for the day. TODD: I wanted to get this story out as soon as possible. GARY: Glad you came back because speaking of stories, I have some info for you on the document search. TODD: Oh joy. Gary hands him some papers. TODD: Thanks Ill look over them. Todd walks into his office and immediately blows them off and just tosses the papers on his desk. -- Back at the hospital: Jack is laying in his hospital bed. He has a sudden memory flash of being in an elevator. He then flashes to the elevator shaking! He then has a memory flash of a hand and arm coming through the elevator doors reaching to him Jack jolts up to sit up JACK: What the hell was that about? …could it be my memory is coming back. -- Meanwhile cut to the house that Jack was being held in… The yellow police tape surrounds the house. A person is there…the persons face is not shown… The person goes under the yellow tape and puts on some gloves. The person unlocks the front door and enters… FADE TO BLACK Credits roll *I do not own any non original character nor any pics

A lot of nice Salem interactions at the funeral. Of course Victor gets in Chloe's face. Glad Chloe is at the funeral tho. She should be. The scenes with Maggie and Vic came along tense. I like that crabby tough ol Vic is holding out for hope showing his human side. I reallyyyy like this vulnerable Sami and Laura helping her out. Im quite looking forward to this sonny and will confrontation. I am enjoying both aggressive sonny and bitchy will.

This episode was just great. I enjoyed it so much. I love what you have done with the fearsome five some of Abby/devon/hillary/nate/rox and now Lily is back! What a great set up. I could read this story all the time with the fresh dialogue and the tension filled scenes. Anoter power house story to go along with my fave story of Sheila & company. Then there is sister Patterson. Im waiting for someone to slap her in the name of jesus. She sure thinks she can talk any which way lol. She still funny tho. Everyone finding out bout Phillip and the cocaine. I hope some people go at Cane. If he survives the current job he is on anyway. This was a great episode! Your eps are always entertaining but bring the great drama too. And go Devon and his K.O.

Well it has finally happened. Rachel is learning the truth. Still liking Jed Allen as Russ and the history less with he and Rachel. Ill get back to this story in a bit. Felicia struggling with her decision seems very realistic and I am glad Mitch is being there for her. You know I love me some Iris so I am really looking forward to how this works out with and plays out with Felicia and Iris. And then there is Christy just for added drama. Sharlene digging into Frankie possibly hiding something. But they be cut off at the wrong time. Wonder what that is setting up for the future. I am intrigued. Back to Rachel. I really do think you have set this up great. Right on time for the big 200 episode. The fall out should be amazing and emotional. Awesome job!

Good ol Crazy Annie. I do like her. I wonder what she thinks she is going to get away with and if she actually will. While I am not a big Ryan and Greenlee fan I have been enjoying their scenes and ll of Greenlees worrying. I am loving the use of history in these stories. The unlikely dastardly duo of Adam and David should be fun! Nice use of flashback with Colby and Asher! A lil reminder. and good use of song too. Good episode

IN England: Steve and Terrance are with Greta Von Amberg. GRETA: Please take a seat. TERRANCE: This couch does look comfy. GRETA: It is top of the line….so you said you were friends of Bo Bradys?

KATSU: I am here on strictly business….don’t tell me he is in the back room…is he having one of his dirty threesomes or foursomes with some crazy couple?

STEVE: If you would like to call his family back home to verify I know him, you can do so. I am married to his sister Kayla. GRETA: Oh you are that Steve. STEVE: Yes the one and only. TERRANCE: So back to what Bo talked about.. GRETA: Well….(fidgets again) he was asking me about Stefano Dimera. STEVE: You know Stefano? GRETA: He and my mother went way back. It’s a long story. TERRANCE: What did he ask about Stefano? GRETA: Just if I have seen him but I have not seen Stefano since I was in Salem over a decade ago….thankful for that. -- At the Casino PAUL: Are you sure you do not want something stronger to drink? BILLY: I am cool. See I have this past with alcohol. Wasn’t pretty. Also have a past with gambling but that is neither here nor there. PAUL: You hang out in odd places, for having that addiction. BILLY: Makes me stronger. Shows me how I can control myself now. PAUL: Good to here. BILLY: So do you like this city? I am new and still finding my way. PAUL: Its been rough. The place can be expensive but I am starting up a company. Well restarting BRO. BILLY: I think Ive heard of it before. My family back home has been involved with some highly successful companies for generations now. PAUL: Have you worked with them? BILLY: I have. PAUL: If you ever want a job at BRO you should apply. We need experienced people. -- Barbara and Henry are still groping and kissing. HENRY: I have missed you! BARBARA: I have missed you too… over the last…few days. HENRY: I know.

Henry looks at Barbara who smiles back. -- At Triple X strip club: A guy and a girl walk out from one of the back rooms. Their clothes are disheveled. KATSU: I take those two messy semi limping people as my cue to go see Derrick. BOB: Yeah…but enter at your own risk. Katsu goes to the back and knocks at the door. DERRICK: Come in! Katsu enters and immediately turns away. KATSU: Oh damn man! For the love of god put on some clothes. please. Derrick puts on some boxers. KATSU: Come on man. I want you to get serious. DERRICK: Don’t ever mistake me for not being serious. KATSU: Well we have some important things to discuss don’t you think.. -- Jennifer and JJ and 2 movers have moved everything inside her new place. 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.

I do not like the sound of this BRO resurrection. Barbara sighs -- IN ENGLAND: Steve and Terrance shake Gretas hand. GRETA: I truly do hope you can track down Bo and help with his investigation.

Steve and Terrance exit. STEVE: I am getting frustrated dude! It feels like nothing we are doing is going anywhere. TERRANCE: We have to stay calm and positive. Something is bound to come up. Back inside, Greta stares out the window. Someone walks into the room “Good Job.” It is Stefano Dimera himself! Greta shakes her head. GRETA: I feel so bad. Like I did the wrong thing. She puts both hands over her face. Stefano puts his hand on her shoulder. STEFANO: No, no you did absolutely perfect my dear daughter, Greta… Greta looks up nervously. GRETA: But what about Bo? STEFANO: Do not worry about Bo Brady. I am sure he can take care of himself. Stefano smiles. FADE TO BLACK Credits roll. *I do not own any non original characters nor any pics.

He goes straight to Garys cubicle. GARY: Look who is back! Enjoy the snow? LUKE: Not particularly. GARY: Sorry I guess I should have sent you somewhere to get a tan. You do kind of need one. LUKE: I would like to know why you send me of all people to do a fluff piece on the ski resort. GARY: Luke you are still fairly new here. You cant have all the hit stories. LUKE: No I think there was more to it. Luke looks intensely at Gary. -- Todd is in his office at the chronicle. He is going over some notes. TODD: I think this is money. He looks at his watch. TODD: A good time to head over to if I can get away from here. He makes a phone call to the hospital. TODD: Hello is Jack…well I don’t know his last name. Jack Doe I guess.

I am not lying! …yes this is the Union Creek Chronicle calling….fine I will just go down there myself. He hangs up. TODD: Ive heard this guy was held captive and now has no memory.

SAM: Zack is a chill guy and I appreciate it very much. ANNE: That is sweet, Zack ZACK: Well you know.. Sam smirks at Zack AT ANOTHER TABLE Elijah sips on his cup of coffee. ELIJAH: I should really go get a donut to go with this. EARTHA: (Chuckles) could you be any more cliché officer Smith? ELIJAH: Donuts and coffee are a great combination. EARTHA: Gonna start putting on that cop gut. ELIJAH: You know I work out all the time like I always have. EARTHA: Anyway, back to this mysterious Jack guy. Do you have any leads on who held him captive In that house? ELIJAH: Trust me. I wish I did but we are dealing with a professional. We are looking for a new lead. EARTHA: I was hoping the house would break the case open. ELIJAH: We all were, but it was complete emptied out. EARTHA: This is all so insane. -- AT A BAR Josh is getting a second beer. HOLDEN: I thought you were only going to get one. JOSH: I did too, but then I thought about my wife and her newest idea. HOLDEN: Is there trouble in paradise? JOSH: No. Reva and I are doing surprisingly well, but she wants to bring a stranger into our home. HOLDEN: I hope that’s not as kinky as it sounds.. JOSH: No! No! Not like that. There is some guy we helped out who, well he has no memory. Has Amnesia. HOLDEN: Amnesia is nothing to mess with. JOSH: You have experience with amnesia? HOLDEN: Up close and personal. It was a dark time. JOSH: Sounds awful, but I still don’t know about taking in some stranger with no memory. -- At the hospital 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. -- At the chronicle: GARY: Was the ski resort that bad that you have to hassle me? LUKE: No. It was actually decently cool. GARY: Well then see. I don’t know why you always think I am up to something. LUKE: Because you are usually up to something. GARY: Well you had a…decent time. So can it. Luke rolls his eyes Gary gets a call into Todds office. Gary walks off and Luke watches him suspiciously as he walks off. GARY: Todd…I hope you have news on that story we are working on.

Even though you laid it on a little thick. SAM: Hey it worked! ZACK: It did. Zack looks down at the napkin. Across the room… ELIJAH: so how are you and Morris these days? EARTHA: Is that really any of your business? ELIJAH: That bad huh? EARTHA: Things between me and my husband are just fine. Elijah gives her that big eyed look like he knows shes not being honest. 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. ELIJAH: Oh come on, don’t leave like this. EARTHA: I really do just have to head back. My lunch break is over. She gets up and leaves -- AT THE BAR HOLDEN: Maybe you should consider your wife's idea. JOSH: I just cant HOLDEN: The man will probably need help. JOSH: I just don’t like it for safety reasons. HOLDEN: Well good luck either way, man. JOSH: Yeah, luck is what has always gotten me by with Revas ways. (chuckles) -- At the chronicle: Gary is still in Todds office alone. He is snooping around. GARY: I don’t see much work on his assignment. Any at all! Gary slams his hand down onto Todds desk annoyed. He takes out his cell phone and calls someone. GARY: Hello boss….no. Todd is still not complying. Yeah I know. I promise to get Todd on track. Gary looks on… -- Jack is in his hospital room thinking hard. JACK: Why can’t I just remember my life before being locked up and held captive? He puts his hand over his face in exasperation. There is knock at the door JACK: Haven’t I seen enough nurses and doctors and therapists today? Todd Walks in. TODD: How about a journalist? JACK: I cannot say one of those have been by. TODD: I want to ask you a few questions. JACK: What you are going to do a story on lil ol me? TODD: Yes. Yes I would like to. Doing a story on you could go national. Someone who knows you could see it! JACK: I know the press are piranhas…but I’ll answer what I can… Todd is pleased to hear this FADE TO BLACK Credits roll *I do not know any non original characters nor any pics.

Very happy to be back inside the cabin! Judging by last episode I don't think Abby and Hillarys new found friendship is going to work out and I hope it doesn't. I like all the tension in the Abby/devon/rox/nate/Hillary story. Awesome dynamic. I do like Roxanne and Daisys friendship. That is TROUBLE and I love it. and then theres Sisters Patterson. LOL. What a hoot. Shes so larger than life and I love everyones dialogue as they talk about her while basically caught off so much guard from her ways. I feel bad for Jill and Nina with Phillip. I do hope he pulls through. As for the cabin! Sheila still in charge! Look at her go. I really like Mary nd hope she gets out of this even if her mother doesn't. As always Drus dialogue is hilarious and Sharons reaction pic you have of her even more so. It always fits what she is saying lmao. Dru thinks cokin' up Cane is coming to the rescue. Good luck with that! I love this story and how you have built it up. Exciting what may happen next! Great stuff

You know I always love seeing Iris and she is making her moves. I like that Felicia is taking her offer though I wonder if this deal with Iris and Felicia will have its consequences in the future. I also love how Iris always gloats about her 'spaulding money' lolol Being #teamMichele I hope something tears Cory and Bridget apart. As for Michele her breakdown seems to continue as it echoes Vicki and Marleys past. On one hand I know she should take Marleys advice but on the other hand I dont want her to! While it seems Michele is having a breakdown I cant help but root for her to get as nasty as she needs to..

Your episodes are always full of rich and deep interactions. Its great. The sami scene was the stand out. Really digging into her mind and her feelings. I could feel the inner struggle she is going through and the dialogue was on point. Im glad to see that she is finally trying to deal with the rape and that you even took this direction in the first place. Also glad that Sonny really let loose on Vic. He made all of his feelings known and of cource Vic is being Vic and thinking he knows exactly what he is doing. I wonder if Sonny will thank him one day. Hmmm. Im no Haiden fan or anyone with Hope other than Bo so we'll see if you can convince me there And Liam has a connection to Stefano. Interesting that JJ is the one to overhear this. I wonder what he will do about it. Im very interested to see how JJ reacts. Very good episode and leaves me wanting more!

Marcino and Greg have met up in a park. 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. Greg stares on… -- Kayla and Jerri are with young Ali . They have arrived at a womens shelter. ALI: I don’t know about this. JERRI: I know you are afraid of new situations but this is a better situation for you right now. KAYLA: Jerri is right. I thank you for letting me try and help you as well, Ali. I know it wasn’t easy to open up. ALI: I am thankful for how much you both care. JERRI: We do and this is what we think is best.

BARBARA: You are really getting everything right this time around. PAUL: I am trying to. Emily arrives. EMILY: You really are doing a good job, Paul. Paul is surprised to see her. PAUL: That is a shock coming from you. EMILY: I know. I have been very hard on you lately. It is starting to make me feel left out. BARBARA: As it should. EMILY: (turns to Barbara) I don’t need any peanut gallery comments. BARBARA: I don’t know why not. You are the elephant in the room. EMILY: I came to talk to Paul…and to apologize. PAUL: An apology? EMILY: Yes. I have been ridiculous about your decision to start BRO. I need to support you and I will support you. PAUL: Emily, It is great to finally hear you say that again. Emily kisses Paul. Barbara looks away and rolls her eyes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnwwnaIcRSU 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 approaches Kayla, Jerri and Ali inside the womens shelter. JERRI: Ali, this is Mis Cho MISS CHO: Hello sweet girl. ALI: Hi.. KAYLA: She is feeling uncomfortable. MISS CHO: That is to be expected. JERRI: I think once she befriends some of the other girls here she will feel better about being here. MISS CHO: They are all out back. We will go see them. ALI: I kinda want to be alone right now. KAYLA: You will have your own room here. MISS CHO: Yes she will. We can go to it. ALI: I would like that. The 4 ladies head up stairs. -- At the hospital: NATALIA: (Whispers) What..what happened that night dad? JESSE: There was a shoot out between some damn gangs. NATALIA: (Whispers) I do remember some of that. JESSE: Yeah and one of the stray bullets hit you. NATALIA: (Whispers) I am glad I do not remember that. JESSE: I am just glad you pulled through baby. NATALIA: (Whispers) I did dream about you and Angie looking over me. JESSE: Angie has been great with you. ANGIE: She has been as good a patient as a patient can be. A fighter. NATALIA: (Whispers) Was never going to leave my dad behind. JESSE: Thank you, I am beyond happy that you are still here with us and I am in the midst of starting a cause around this city to prevent the poor from joining gangs. ANGIE: Leave it to your father to turn a negative into a positive! Natalia smiles -- At the college: JJ hands Miranda a guitar JJ: Here you can play lead. MIRANDA: Are you sure? JJ: Yup. I will support. MIRANDA: That is a lot of pressure. JJ: I have faith in you. MIRANDA: Well thanks but what are we playing? JJ: Lets do an old evanescence song. I want to hear you sing. MIRANDA: Amy Lee’s voice is pretty beautiful to try and replicate. JJ: Like I said, I have faith in you. JJ starts playing “Bring me to life” JJ: Would be better if these were electric. MIRANDA: Acoustic is tremendous. Miranda starts to play the song along with him. JJ: Now you start leading She starts to do so. MIRANDA: This is too much pressure to remember the lyrics. JJ: Give it a shot. MIRANDA: (Singing) Bring me to life! She giggles JJ: I’m going to turn you into a rock girl, just wait. The two continue to play along. -- At BRO EMILY: So what are your plans for this place? PAUL: Ive tried to explain before but you didn’t want to listen. EMILY: I am listening now. PAUL: First off, my mother and I and our new business partner Katsu are-- The door opens and they are interrupted by Eliza . BARBARA: Dear, Eliza! ELIZA: Grandma! BARBARA: Finally I get to see you. Barbara and Eliza hug. Eliza then hugs her dad. ELIZA: Hi daddy. Eliza totally ignores Emily as if she is not even there. PAUL: What brings you all the way out here? ELIZA: Well actually I was coming here in hopes that I can have a job here since someoneee said I needed one. Eliza looks at Emily BARBARA: I think that is a great idea for you to work here! Don’t you Paul? PAUL: I don’t know ELIZA: Oh come on dad! BARBARA: I think Eliza would do good at a secretary job here. ELIZA: Sounds like my kind of job. PAUL: That just might work. ELIZA: I will be the best secretary here! Eliza is thrilled. ELIZA: Thank you both so much! “Bring me to life (acoustic)” by Evanescence starts to play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_xTX9D9C3c&feature=youtu.be [:00] Eliza hugs both her grandmother and her father again.

At the ski resort: 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. Ben smiles -- At the Union Creek High School: It is lunch time. Sam and Zack are in the lunch line next to Camella . SAM: This is a great time in sports. Basketball playoffs. Hockey playoffs and Baseball is in the beginning of the season. ZACK: Who is going to win the NBA championship? SAM: The cavs probably. ZACK: I hope not! Anyone but them. SAM: Nah, Lebron has this again. CAMELLA: (Rolls her eyes) Boys always bonding over sports. 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? CAMELLA: Well I am glad they didn’t sit here. They are basic. TRINITY: I kinda wish they did sit here… Trinity stares over at them again and Camella shakes her head. CAMELLA: Shake it off Trin. TRINITY: Yeah, let me do that right quick. -- Reva and Josh are visiting Jack at the hospital. JOSH: Hello, man 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. Josh and Reva are surprised. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x75BmwP7bhg At the ski resort: 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. They laugh BEN: Its all the charisma. LUKE: You have that. BEN: Thanks Luke. This interview has been fun. -- In the Union Creek High School Lunch room: Zack has his eyes at the preppy table. He becomes quiet. SAM: So who you rooting for in the NHL playoffs? ZACK: Nobody. SAM: Yeah not so many rootable teams are left. Sam sees Zacks mood has changed. Over at the preppy table his crush, Anne is laughing it up with Cory Sutter. SAM: Don’t let this chick get you down. ZACK: I know I shouldn’t. Cut to Anne and Cory ANNE: I never knew you were so funny. CORY: I guess you have to get to know me more then. ANNE: You might be right. Cut back to Zack who is glaring at their table… -- Jacks hospital room 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. -- Ski Resort: BEN: So what newspaper do you work for again? LUKE: The union creek chronicle. BEN: No way! LUKE: Yes way. 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. -- School lunch room: SAM: I don’t know Zack, I think you better start making some moves on Anne. ZACK: Apparently I better do that very soon. SAM: I think she would like a strong come on. 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. SAM: Good thing we’re neighbors. Maybe we can help each other out. The two happily walk down the hall -- Josh comes out of Jacks room. JOSH: That unfortunate man. REVA: Isn't it sad Joshua. JOSH: Yeah. I do feel bad. REVA: Me too. You know he is about to be released any day now with nowhere to go. 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! Josh looks on uncertain FADE TO BLACK Credits roll *I do not know any non original characters nor any pictures.

Man this episode was hilarious first and foremost. Literally Laughed my ass off at Karynns dead serious "They took my brother’s social security money from me." I like Daisy and Roxannes friendliness. A deadly duo that could be Hillary was not playin. She was gonna pull out all the stops to jump on Nate. Love those envelope pushing scenes and dialogue on ur Y&R. Face lift Chase ratting out Nikki. I wonder if she really was drunk. Would explain her turn in her Katherine mourning. I like that we are getting to see Nikkis grief hit her hard as it should. Avery on her way to Verdon Lou now too. Somethings gotta give there. ahhhh sister Patterson. Always a hoot. Some hilarious exhanges with her and Leslie. I also like Abby and Hillarys exchange and what seems like more trouble with Hillary. And then the mystery woman cliffhanger. This big party looks like its gonna be great and plus Verdon Lou has to be coming to a head. Gonna be explosive. Hilariously entertaining good episode.

Jack and Paulina getting it on in the sheets! I am so very glad that Grant walked in on them lolol. I could picture the absolute horror on his face. I dont know though, Grant may get the last laugh with his jump drive. I am also glad that Eric told Christy he doesnt want anymore of her BS. Good for him. I do kinda like Eric. I hope Felicia stays clear of Christy though. Sweet moment with Charlie and Frankie. Happy for that whole part of the family. And then Carl You are tugging at this story with him. Symptoms seem to be worsening. He must be planning something really special with this transaction. I just hope he is ready to tell Rachel what is going on now!! Solid show as always!

This is my favorite blog of yours. You have all the characters down good. Annie may come and ruin Ryan and Greenlees plans for Emma. I look forward to seeting whatever Annie is going to do. Also wonder what dubious plan David and Adam may concoct. And then Jackson and Erica having it out again. They love to have their dramatic spats. Wonder what could be wrong with Erica though :/ I do wish some of the scenes were longer or that there were more scenes. The tiny scene with Colby and Asher could have used more screen time. All and all I enjoy this show a lot.

White Trash Lucinda Walsh aka Karynn is one hot old mess! But I could so see Elizabeth Hubbard playing the hell out of those scenes. I think there is some softness in there somewhere but her addictions to the cigs and the booze and the money sure get in the way. The Rox/Abby/Devon scenes were great! Tense stuff. I am so glad Devon held his ground and called Rox out on her [!@#$%^&*] and that. Rox name for Abby is pretty funny. Nikki is dealing with her own way of mourning Katherine and now having to mourn more memories. I see Wayne Northrop got a face lift and doesnt look 80 anymore. Good for him! lol And then poor drugged out Phillip. Hopefully he can get saved but it isnt looking good and Avery isnt the best person to find him.

Thanks a lot guys for the comments! Glad you are liking the build and hope you continue to enjoy the ride.
