Billy and Brittany are hanging out. Brittany pours Billy some lemonade. BILLY: Thank you. I am parched. BRITTANY: Parched. Who says that? What are you, an old man? BILLY: If I was still in Genoa City, I would feel like one. That places ages you. BRITTANY: Well good thing you came here to Paradise. BILLY: Yes. Paradise. Has this place been your Paradise since you moved here? BRITTANY: It has been okay. I’ve landed on my feet here thanks to the casino. BILLY: I need to land on my feet now. I need to find out what kind of work I want to do here. BRITTANY: There are plenty of options in this city. The police force is always hiring. BILLY: Yeah right. I need something a little more glamourous. BRITTANY: There is plenty of glamour here, too. This city has a lot of good and bad. -- Chavo meets up with Greg in the alley. GREG: Where is Vin? CHAVO: He is late and in one foul mood. GREG: Oh boy. What happened now? He is always pissed about something. CHAVO: This one may be a big one, bro. GREG: Well tell me! CHAVO: It’s his girlfriend. I guess she broke up with him. Homie seems livid! GREG: Great, girl trouble. CHAVO: I know he is mad all the time, but he seems worse this time. GREG: I do wish Vin would calm down.

JESSE: I want you to help me in my crusade to help this city. OFFICER RAMOS: I will do whatever I can to help, Captain. JESSE: That is what I like to hear. This community deserves better. OFFICER RAMOS: I quite admire our drive you have for the youth here. Instead of taking what happened to your daughter as a negative you are trying to turn it into a positive. JESSE: The people responsible for that shoot out are in custody, but there are some youth out there that have not yet gotten into deep trouble. Those are the ones I would love to help. OFFICER RAMOS: What are we going to do to help them? JESSE: We’re going to reach out and I do have an idea how… -- At the hospital, Kayla and Angie are with resident psychiatrist Jerri.

JERRI: Thank you. -- In Salem: Jennifer is in the Horton house. Her boyfriend Daniel Jonas walks in… JENNIFER: Daniel. Glad you came by. DANIEL: I had to. I think we both had to.

He is upset again and rolls his eyes. MARCINO: Who is this Billy guy just storming back into her life? I don’t know who he thinks he is. He gets his cell phone and texts somebody. MARCINO: I do not want to be here while they are here together. He leaves his room and walks in the front room. MARCINO: Sorry to interrupt, but I am going to meet up with a friend, Mom. BRITTANY: Okay well just be careful. MARCINO: I always am. BILLY: See you buddy MARCINO: Later. He exits -- In Salem: JENNIFER: You know I have been wanting to move and I am certain where I want to move. DANIEL: You want to go where JJ went, don’t you? JENNIFER: Yes. Paradise, New Mexico. I am sure you don’t like the idea, but that is what I want to do. DANIEL: You’ve wanted a move and a change for a while. I can respect that. JENNIFER: If I have to move there alone I will. DANIEL: Actually, I would love to move there with you. JENNIFER: but what about your job? DANIEL: I knew you were considering this so I already put my notice in weeks ago. JENNIFER: What a wonderful surprise! She hugs him. JENNIFER: This make me already want to start packing! -- Steve visits Kayla at the hospital. KAYLA: What is up?

Usually we cops fundraiser for ourselves but this time I want it to be for the community center. OFFICER RAMOS: Wonderful. I would be willing to help set this up. Reaching out to the community is good for all involved. JESSE: All the funds will go to a newly built community center in the more poverty ridden part of the city. I don’t know if the chief will go for this but it’s worth a shot. OFFICER RAMOS: He is a tough sell. JESSE: I frankly don’t care how tough he is. It is going to happen. Jesse gets a text. It is from Angie. JESSE: Sorry, but I have to head off to the hospital. OFFICER RAMOS: Hope everything is okay! Jesse leaves -- Vin shows off his gun to Greg and Chavo. VIN: A top of the line piece here fellas. GREG: Nice buy. CHAVO: Great buy. VIN: And thing is, I'm in the right mind to use it today. CHAVO: Don’t say that. VIN: Oh it is true. GREG: I am going to take this as my cue to leave. VIN: Don’t miss out on the fun Gregory. GREG: I’ll pass if you are going to do something stupid. Greg leaves. VIN: I swear. Sometimes that kid is a p*ssy. CHAVO: You shouldn't make any rash decisions. VIN: I am not. I should have just shot that damn girl long time ago. Chavo sighs. The camera zooms in on the gun. -- In Salem: Jennifer is packing. JENNIFER: I will miss this house though. She starts to take the pictures off the mantel. She gets to a picture of Jack.

STEVE: We are going to go see an old friend of Bos. Greta Von Amburg. -- In the Psychiatrist office JERRI: Did you now ex boyfriend attack you before or after you broke up with him? ALI: Both. JERRI: He is scum and I am glad you feel that in your heart now. ALI: I am glad I left. I just...(sighs heavily) JERRI: I know how hard it has been for you to come here the past couple months and I know that you still have a hard path from here, but trust me that I will help you. ALI: I trust you completely. I am just eighteen though and was living with my boyfriend. I have nowhere to go. Or to hide if I need to. JERRI: Your parents live here don’t they? ALI: My boyfriend is crazy. I do not want to put my parents in danger. Jerri Holds Alis hand. JERRI: Then I am going to take you to a womens shelter. I’ll keep you safe. ALI: I don’t know if that will even work. I've never told you this but my boyfriend…he is in a gang. -- Vin has a picture of Ali in a frame. VIN: You made a huge mistake breaking up with me Ali.

BILLY: I really would rather not find a job in the paper. BRITTANY: Come on. Be a good ol fashion regular person Mister Abbott. BILLY: Yeah I guess being an Abbott I never had to do this.

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. -- Danielle Manning arrives home. She gets out of her car and sees another car parked in front of the place. She tries to look and see who is inside DANIELLE: Sh*t. Blair gets out of the car.

ELIJAH: We are coming in one way or the other…I’m breaking this door down! He kicks down the door and enters! Elijah is astonished by what he sees inside… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x75BmwP7bhg At dinner Morris has his arm around Eartha. Eartha kisses him on the cheek. MORRIS: Thanks baby.

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! -- Cut to Danielle and Blair. BLAIR: Todd didn't send me I promise. DANIELLE: Fine. Come in. For a few. They enter. DANIELLE: So you wanted to see me because? BLAIR: Well…Todd didn't send me but I am here because I want to talk to you…about him. DANIELLE: Great. BLAIR: He genuinely reached out to you the other night. DANIELLE: This is a waste of time, Blair. I am sorry but I do not want him to be a father figure to me. BLAIR: but-- DANIELLE: --It is how I feel and nobody is going to tell me how to feel. I want nothing to do with Todd Manning. -- The house over the hill… Elijah is inside with other cops and the house…is empty. COP 1: There is nothing here. Not a single trace. ELIJAH: Yup nothing is any room except this empty bookshelf and an empty fridge and cabinets. COP 1: Someone cleaned up ELIJAH: They sure did. We need to get a forensic team down here just in case… -- Lily and Holden arrive home. They see Eartha and Morris walking inside next door. LILY: That was a really nice dinner with them.

The two embrace and kiss -- Cut next door to Eartha and Morris. Trinity greets them TRINITY: Hi mom and dad. MORRIS: Hey Both seem in bad moods. MORRIS: Why were you so clingy today Eartha?! EARTHA: I just wanted to have a good time. MORRIS: It could have been good without you all over me. EARTHA: Maybe I just wanted to put you in a good mood. For once! MORRIS: Well you sure know how to lay your acts on thick! EARTHA: Whatever Morris. Why do we even go out then? Eartha walks away pissed off. Trinity sighs and walks to her room. TRINITY: I wish mom and dad could fake their happiness at home like they do for the public… -- At the ski resort Luke gets a drink from the bar. He tips the bartender. He then turns around to see the guy who was checking him out still checking him out. BEN: Um sorry…for, well, looking at your ass. LUKE: Um, well no problem I think. BEN: I am Ben. LUKE: I am Luke BEN: Very nice to meet you Luke. Sorry for the awkward introduction. LUKE: Wait, you Said your name is Ben? Do you ski? BEN: Well yeah. Ski resort…duh. LUKE: No its just that I had a list of people to interview and a Ben was on the list. BEN: This is fantastic! I’m that Ben. Both are all smiles… -- 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. FADE OUT Credits roll *I do not own any non original characters or any pictures.

Jerome Grant.. Intriguingggg. I love Sonny confronting Victor. I wonder how Victor will respond and also what Will may do if he finds out Sonny went to see Vic. Wonder what John is up to with Kayla. Also what Nick is up to. Hope he has a good next move because hes playing a dangerous game with vic and Stefano. And of course Billie and Kim still going at it. Stuff is getting down and dirty between them. And I think the tense moments are just beginning. Solid

Idk how I feel about Adams plan. Liza and Caleb and Erica scenes have been good. TENSE!

So i absolutely love the Jack and Paulina angstttt. I can feel their feelings of uncertainty but wanting each other and trying to fight it. And there is Grant and his deviousness to add another layer to the story. Gonna be veddy interesting to see where this leads. And then Christy seems to be a wild card herself. Nice to learn more about the back story of Frankie surviving death. And I love the nod to history with Carl apologizing for some of his past deed. Alluding to his impending passing. But hmmm what could that call at the end be about..

First off just a beautifully written episode. The descriptions were fantastic and the dialogue was strong as always. You have Vic down amazingly. This episode was jam packed. It feels like may sweeps Love sami and Jenn having a much needed talk. And what seems to be a budding friendship. I like seeing EJ squirm. Then there is poor Roman still deteriorating. Jordan and Cheryl are getting to celebrate. And lastly Kim starting to get hardcore with Billie. I think this isnt going to end well. I do wanna see how far it goes though. Solid.

Gang members Vin , Chavo and Greg are in an alley. VIN: The convenience store is nearby. GREG: You are not thinking about doing this today are you? CHAVO: Yeah, I thought your gun was stolen and you haven’t gots your new one yet. VIN: Yeah I will be getting my piece any day now, but I would still like to do this robbery today. GREG: With what weapon? VIN: There are three of us. We don’t need a weapon. We have the man power. CHAVO: This isn’t as full proof as I hoped. VIN: I’m the man in charge here. If I say we are going to do it…we are going to do it. -- In his apartment, JJ is going over a text book. There is a knock at the door. JJ: Who could that be? He opens the door and is surprised to see Eliza Ryan standing there. ELIZA: I thought about calling since we exchanged numbers but I wanted to surprise you instead. JJ: It is nice to see you again. ELIZA: I was hoping you would say that. And besides, I brought a treat. Eliza has a 6 pack of beer with her. JJ looks at it concerned… -- Emily is outside of a restaurant. She is on the phone with Paul . EMILY: So it is not safe to come home yet? PAUL: You can go ahead and go home. I am not home. I am at the building BRO will be in. EMILY: Oh , great. (rolls her eyes) and still with your damn mother too, I assume? PAUL: Why Yes I am. You need to get over this annoyance you have! EMILY: You don’t make it easy! Your damn mother either. PAUL: I’m not doing this right now. We have a very important meeting. EMILY: Don’t hang up on me like this. He hangs up. EMILY: Damn you Paul! I hate this! She walks into the restaurant and goes straight to the bar. EMILY: Ive wrangled up enough change bartender. Give me one strong Vodka and cranberry. Lucas Roberts walks up behind her. LUCAS: Hey I couldn’t help but over hear you outside. Everything okay? EMILY: No. (glares) LUCAS: Well I’m sorry. Hope your day looks up. I’ll leave you to your drink. He starts to walk away. EMILY: No…wait.. He turns back around. -- Angie and Kayla are chatting at the hospital. KAYLA: How is your husband dealing with this? ANGIE: He is diving right into his police work it seems. KAYLA: Natalia is improving in my opinion. ANGIE: I agree. I hope it continues for Jesses sake. KAYLA: Oh our husbands and their work. I hope my husband isn’t getting too much into his work again, but I have a feeling he is up to something… -- Cut to Steve on the phone. He is smiling. STEVE: This is great news Shane! I hope you are right. They hang up. STEVE: I hope the ISA can pull this off. Activate a chip in Bos computer wherever it may be. Hopefully we can find out what he was looking into before his disappearance! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnwwnaIcRSU At the hospital Kayla and Angie are checking on Natalia KAYLA: Her vitals are getting stronger. ANGIE: All the tests seem to be a positive indication too. I would just feel better about all of this if she would become conscious. KAYLA: I think that may be just around the corner. ANGIE: I love how positive you are. KAYLA: I hope you are thinking what I am thinking. ANGIE: That I have some good news for Jesse! -- Steve is on his computer. STEVE: Okay I can do this. He types in a code. STEVE: I am glad the ISA has these chips built into our computers. Now to just get acces to Bos laptop. He clicks on something. STEVE: That’s it. That’s a signal! I so hope this works and I’m able to access whatever investigative documents Bo was working on. -- At the apartments Eliza hands JJ a beer ELIZA: Don’t seem so reluctant! JJ: You are note even 21 ELIZA: Fake ideas go a long way! JJ: Well the thing is…I try not to drink or just party In general anymore. ELIZA: I see that anymore is the key word here. I had a feeling you use to be a party animal. JJ: A little bit…well a lot bit. ELIZA: You are at a new college. Now is the time to be again. JJ: You really trust to drink with me even though we really just met? ELIZA: Yes you seem fun so lets have some fun. JJ: It is just that in my past I have had some drug addictions and I just want to move away from that. ELIZA: I am not trying to get you addicted…to alcohol. I just want to lighten up your college experience. JJ: You are persistent. I give you that. ELIZA: I get it from my grandparents….so come on. Just one at least? Loosen us up. JJ: Okay. One wont hurt. ELIZA: Atta boy! Truly I am just happy to make a new friend. They both twist the caps off their beers and take a drink. ELIZA: You like it don’t you? JJ: It is good. Eliza smirks -- Meanwhile, Paul introduces Barbara to Katsu Itami . PAUL: Mom this is Katsu. KATSU: Hello Madame. Katsu and Barbara shake hands. Katsu then kisses Barbaras hand. KATSU: Nice to meet you BARBARA: Nice to meet you as well PAUL: This place is already looking nice. KATSU: The renovation of this building has been going for awhile now. PAUL: You chose wisely. Barbara looks on a Katsu with a worried look… -- Emily and Lucas are sitting together at the restaurant EMILY: Want to join me for a drink? LUCAS: Sorry but I do not drink anymore, but I will gladly join you with a steak while you drink. EMILY: Even better. A man who loves steak knows how to have dinner. LUCAS: I like to think I do EMILY: Love that suit by the way. It looks great on you. LUCAS: Thank you very much. Your mood has changed a lot since I saw you outside. EMILY: You have helped immensely. LUCAS: Glad to hear that. Don't even know how I worked that magic. EMILY: So what do you do? Must have a good job to be sporting a suit like that. LUCAS: I am the CEO of the cosmetics company Mad World. EMILY: Oh wow! That’s awesome! I heard the headquarters for that company moved to town. I should apply for a job there. LUCAS: You have a business background? EMILY: I do. And more importantly working there would piss my husband off! -- Greg, Vin and Chavo are still together. VIN: Why are you two chickening out on me about this robbery? GREG: We are not chickening out, we just want to be smart about this. CHAVO: Yeah we don’t want to get caught or shot or something. VIN: I guess you are right. CHAVO: You will come up with something better. GREG: For now we just lay low before you do. VIN: Fine Vin walks off Greg has a sigh of relief -- Jesse arrives at the hospital and approaches Angie JESSE: Is something wrong with Natalia? ANGIE: I called you here for quite the opposite. She is improving much quicker then expected. I think she is going to make a full recovery! JESSE: Oh baby that is great. Jesse grabs Angie into a tight hug. JESSE: Thank god Both are elated -- Steve is still on his computer. On the screen it looks like he is just about to load some files from Bos computer loaded onto his computer. 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. Steve slams his laptop closed. STEVE: How is someone one step ahead of the ISA…Can a higher up be a mole for the Dimeras or someone? Steve is frustrated -- Back at JJs apartment The camera zooms in on the empty 6 pack case. They are drinking the last 2 beers. ELIZA: I knew you would help me finish these JJ: How did you KNOW that? ELIZA: You just seemed like the partying type. JJ: You are a bad influence you know. ELIZA: But it has been a fun night. JJ: You’re right, it has been. ELIZA: Could stay that way She sets her beer down and gets really close to him…she goes in for a kiss and they lock lips for some moments. She then stops. ELIZA: I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that. JJ: No need to apologize…I enjoyed it.. -- Paul notices Barbara is being standoffish from Katsu. He pulls her aside. PAUL: What is wrong mother? BARBARA: I feel weird about him. PAUL: Weird? Why? BARBARA: Chalk it up to a feeling. I have become a good judge of character at my high in wisdom age. This is not my first rodeo clown meeting. PAUL: Katsu is a cool guy and more importantly a great business man. BARBARA: Okay, doesn't make me any less worried about doing business with him. Katsu looks over at them from across the room. Barbara fake smiles and waves at him.. -- LUCAS: You should apply at Mad World if you want to. EMILY: Nah I can’t do that. I really would anger my husband tons. He is launching a new company. LUCAS: Oh…I see EMILY: I should also be going but I do hope to see you again some time too. I would love to discuss business. LUCAS: Sounds good to me. EMILY: Thanks for making my day better, Lucas. LUCAS: Glad to help. She exits You can tell that her wheels are turning as she is lost in thought. She looks back inside at Lucas through the window. EMILY: This just might work. FADE TO BLACK Credits roll *I DO NOT OWN ANY NON ORIGINAL CHARACTERS NOR ANY PICS

Love how you brought up the religious freedom law. Very timely. Always good to see Kirkland and that was a very nice moment with him and Grant. I think Jack might be coming to a realization of his situation with Paulina but more importantly his feelings for her too. And Paulina certainly seems to feel the same way. I do wonder how Lindsay is going to deal with this. I hope she doesnt push Gregory away too much Solid episode as always built on some great interactions with complex characters!

Not until the police do a thorough investigation. MALIK: Police. That sounds intense. MORRIS: Could be -- Eartha is in the room with the mysterious patient, Jack . EARTHA: How are you doing today, sir? JACK: Just as sore and lost as yesterday, doc. EARTHA: You’re going to feel so much better after physical therapy. JACK: What about mental therapy, will I be getting any of that? 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. ELIJAH: Held captive? Elijah and Eartha look at each other in shock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x75BmwP7bhg At the café While Marah is passing out flyers around the place, Lily sits down with Danielle and hands her one. DANIELLE: A model search contest? LILY: You should really come. I can already picture you wearing some of our designs. DANIELLE: I don’t think modeling is for me? LILY: There is a good chunk of money in it. The winners will exclusive models for Chic Spirit designs. You have an exquisite look that we would love to have on board. DANIELLE: I really appreciate all the compliments, but I just don’t know about me being some model.. -- Zack and Sam sit with Trinity and her friend Camella at lunch. TRINITY: Do you like the school so far? SAM: It seems chill. CAMELLA: It is not chill, but you’re new so I guess you’ll figure that out. ZACK: I think he’ll be fine here. SAM: I am going to try. ZACK: Not to cut our eating short, but I need to finish showing you around. 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. CAMELLA: His mom sounds ratchet. TRINITY: Yeah, lil ratchet -- Sam and Zack are walking through the halls. Sam runs into Cory Sutter knocking shoulders hard. CORY: Woah what the hell, man! ZACK: Oh god, don’t start Cory. SAM: Sorry CORY: Sorry isn’t going to cut it. Who do you think you are running into me of all people?! Cory gets in Sams face -- 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: Dude it was a damn accident! CORY: Ill give you a pass today newbie, but don’t let it happen again. Cory walks off in a huff 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.. ZACK: Sorry, That’s Anne Wenton… SAM: …and ZACK: And I am on a mission to make her mine. SAM: Alrighty then -- At the café LILY: Well I hope you will consider joining our model search, Danielle. DANIELLE: It was nice to meet you, Lily. Thanks for all the hype you gave me. LILY: It wasn’t just hype. I guess I just had a vision. I hope you think about it. Lily walks back to Marah Danielle looks at the flyer. -- At the hospital MALIK: How is mom today? MORRIS: I’d rather not talk about it MALIK: That doesn’t sound good. MORRIS: It is what it is, son. MALIK: I hope it gets better. 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… FADE TO BLACK *I do not own any non original characters nor any pictures.

This episode had such a great flow and all the interactions were really good. Love that Nicole and Hope little run in. Also like Hope going into detective mode. I'm glad John voted the way he did. Victor now having to go into defense mode. I Like how Nick is trying to really hold all the power here with everyone but there are so many sides involved gonna be very interesting to really see who comes out on top in the end. And then theres poor Roman. This storyline feels so true to life and just gets a person feeling for all involved. The dialogue throughout the whole episode was really good too which helped the flow even more!

EMILY: And with what money are you going to get that? ELIZA: It would be nice if you and my dad would help out. EMILY: You know we have been struggling financial wise for awhile now.

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.

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! Emily sighs -- Paul is inside of the Strip club. He meets with Katsu Itami They shake hands.

And I want to finish our business before the next dancer comes to the stage (chuckles) PAUL: That is like five minutes away. KATSU: Well let’s get this show on the road then shall we. I am not a hard sell. PAUL: Good to know. KATSU: Let me just put it like this. If you want a business partner, I am your man. -- MIRANDA: I have enjoyed meeting you, new neighbor, but I do have to get to a night class. JJ: I am glad that you are my neighbor.

JENNIFER: Don’t worry you didn’t. I've learned your ways. 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. She kisses the picture but then her phone rings. The phone says Daniel is calling. She puts the picture back in her purse and answers the phone. JENNIFER: Hello honey...what's wrong? -- Jesse and Angie are laying down in bed together. Jesse is staring at the ceiling. JESSE: I was hoping this would be a much better day.

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! -- Todd is parked outside of a house. He gets out of the car and walks up to the door. He rings the doorbell. . .. ... .... ..... Danielle opens the door. TODD: Hi Dani DANI: What the hell are you doing here? FADE TO BLACK Credits roll *I do not own some of these characters nor any of the pictures

Go Jenn! and Go John! Solid episode. Love the realness with Sonny and Will and their problems. Jennifer having some fire. Good to see her finding that again. Love all these board room scene. There was suspense alright. and another ending that leaves you wanting the next episode.

Eeeesh Heavy episode! Im glad Lindsay is going to be okay but I do feel bad for her about not being able to have children.I wonder just how this will affect her. And then I feel so bad for Carl and Rachel. I can tell these scenes are sure going to be sad. And then great cliffhanger with Michele. I cant wait to see what she is up to now!!
