    INT. OAKDALE MEMORIAL (WAITING AREA)

    Roseanna, Liberty, Luke, and Katie wait patiently with somber looks written on their faces. Meanwhile, Craig, off to the side, leans against the wall—clearly destroyed.

    Liberty: (jumping up) I can’t sit here anymore I need answers and now!
    Katie: And we’ll get them. (pulling her down) But until then we need to sit and be patient.
    Liberty: But I can’t. I can’t! (on the verge of crying) I can’t bear to lose Gabriel too! Not after Dad, I can’t.
    Katie holds Liberty as she sobs. Craig, over it, walks off. Roseanna gets up and chases after him.
    Luke: (shaking his head) This is all my fault. . .
    Katie: No it isn’t. It’s no one’s fault. Just an accident and Gabe will pull through just fine.

    On Katie struggling to believe her own advice,

    EXT. OAKDALE MEMORIAL (ROOFTOP)

    Roseanna slowly ease up to Craig with tears falling from his eyes as he gazes at the view of Oakdale. Roseanna reaches out to touch him but pulls away, unsure.

    Craig: No words of encouragement are going to help me, Roseanna.
    Roseanna: I know. . .
    Craig: (facing her, snappy) Then why are you up here?!
    Roseanna: Because you don’t need to be alone. Not at this time.
    Craig: Yeah I do. I need space to think, to process this. I haven’t felt like this since—
    Roseanna: Since Bryant?
    Craig: Yeah.
    Roseanna: Well Gabe is not dead and for we know, he might pull through this.
    Craig: He better or I’m going to make Paul and Lucinda pay. . .

    With fury and hatred taking over Craig,



    INT. OAKDALE MEMORIAL (SHOWER/LOCKEROOM)

    Jami puts on the top of her scrubs when MJ, shirtless, comes around the corner. Jami smiles at him.

    MJ: What?
    Jami: Nothing. I just didn’t expect to see you half naked so soon.
    MJ: (joking, covering his nipples) Then stop looking!

    Jami burst into laughter when Chris bursts in. MJ quickly puts on his shirt and Jami ties her hair back and the two stand up looking at Chris.

    Chris: Is he here yet?
    MJ: Who?
    Chris: Dr. Wyatt?
    MJ: Not that I know of.

    Suddenly, the three hear a woman moaning from the shower. Suspicious, Chris storms over to the shower, with MJ and Jami following, and opens the door to reveal DR. STEPHEN WYATT having sex with another female doctor. Off the woman screaming,

    Chris: What the h*ll is going on?

    The female doctor grabs the only towel and rushes out the shower. Stephen covers his male parts with his hands and embarrassed, smiles.

    Stephen: Hey, Chris. Longtime since we’ve last seen each other. But not like this. . .
    Chris: Pig.
    Stephen: You'd know.

    Chris slams the shower door.

    Chris: And so you know, you’re needed in the emergency room. (to Jami & MJ) C’mon you two.

    Jami, Chris, and MJ exit. Then Stephen peeks out of the shower and waves at the female doctor. She rushes back into the shower and the close the door. She tosses the towel over the shower, and on a shot of the towel lying on the floor and them laughing in the background,

    Emily rushes in to find Paul grabbing the mail off the table. He notices something is wrong by the look on her face.

    Paul: What happened?
    Emily: If you answered by phone calls you’d know.
    Paul: My phone died on the way home. Now what’s wrong?
    Emily: You didn’t hear?
    Paul: Hear what?
    Emily: (grabbing his hand) Let’s have a seat.
    Paul: (snatching away) How about you just tell me what happened? Is it Meg again?
    Emily: . . .No.
    Paul: Then what is it? Spill it.
    Emily: It’s Gabriel. He was in an accident on one of the back roads.
    Paul: What?!
    Emily: Yeah—

    Distraught, Paul runs past her, exiting and leaving the door open.

    Emily: Paul! Paul, come back!

    INT. CARLY/JACK (LIVING ROOM)

    Open up on Carly standing the with a phone to ear. Jack and the kids, consoling him, sit nearby.

    Carly: Alright. Thanks for calling me Roseanna and keep me update.

    Carly hangs up the phone and turns to Jack, anxious.

    Jack: (noticing her expression) What now?
    Carly: Umm. . . it’s was Roseanna. She’s at the hospital.
    JJ: Is she OK?!
    Carly: Yes. She’s fine. But Gabriel isn’t. He was in an accident on one of the back roads near Route 66.

    Parker jumps up and grabs his coat.

    Carly: Where are you going?
    Parker: To find Liberty and let her know.
    Carly: But—

    Parker exits.

    Tom, Casey, & Margo, Dusty & Janet (with Johnny & Lorenzo), Holden, and Lily have joined everyone. We pick up with
    Luke, Holden, and Lily, who sit off to the side.

    Holden: Have you been checked out?
    Luke: For what? Nothing is wrong with me.
    Holden: But you still need to get checked out.
    Luke: Well until I hear that Gabriel is alright, I am not moving from this spot.
    Lily: I just don’t know why you didn’t let your father and I know that you were coming home, and where is Noah?
    Luke: (agitated) Mom. . .
    Holden: Maybe we need to give him some space, Lily.
    Luke: Please!

    Lily storms off and Holden gets up and chases after her.

    INT. HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS

    Holden: Lily! Stop!
    Lily: (stops) What?!
    Holden: Why are you acting like this?
    Lily: Because I’m sick of being treated by a second rate citizen in this family. First, you and now Luke is giving me attitude. I’m sick of it!
    Holden: You’re being over the top.

    Lily turns to storm off again when she notices Craig and Roseanna, arm in arm coming down the hallway. It’s apparent that something wrong.

    Lily: Craig? What’s wrong?

    Craig grabs Lily by the hand and leads her back into the

    INT. WAITING ROOM

    Everyone looks up at Craig, waiting to hear from him.

    Craig: I, umm. . . I. . .

    Craig, crying, looks to Roseanna for help.

    Roseanna: It’s time to say our goodbyes.
    Liberty: (jumping up, hysterical) Goodbye?! What are you talking about? Is Gabriel dying?

    Roseanna nods.

    Liberty: No!

    Lily hugs Craig.

    Lily: I’m so sorry.
    Craig: Feel sorry for Gabriel. Not me.

    Something catches Craig’s attention—it’s Paul. Hold on eye contact between the two,

    INT. OAKDALE MEMORIAL (GABRIEL’S ROOM)

    Gabriel lies on the bed, motionless. Bob stands next to him, check his vitals on the machine. Jami then quietly eases in.

    Jami: Dr. Hughes.
    Bob: (turning) Hey. Is there something wrong?
    Jami: No. Just came to see if you needed any help.
    Bob: Sadly, there is nothing you or I can do.

    Jami joins Bob and looks at Gabriel.

    Jami: He’s so young and full of life. The youth always dies young.
    Bob: Sadly, they do. Sucks because he was finally settling into Oakdale and gaining the home he always wanted. Boy was finally reunited with his father.

    This strikes home for Jami.

    Jami: He didn’t know his father?
    Bob: Nope. But that’s life. You’re finally happy and life throws us all a cruel twist of fate. (sighs) I just can’t imagine how Craig is feeling.
    Jami: Craig. . .?
    Bob: His father. Sadly, his eldest son passed away in a car accident many years ago. Talk about history repeating itself.
    Jami: Yeah. I guess.
    Bob: I just couldn’t imagine being in Craig or anyone out there shoes. Having someone come into your life and all of sudden leave like that! (snaps his fingers) I don’t know if I could handle it.

    Jami nearly cracks when MJ bursts in.

    MJ: We need your help. Craig and Paul are fighting in the waiting room.
    Bob: Was security called?
    MJ: Yes, sir.
    Bob: (handing Jami the chart) Stay here.

    Bob and MJ exit. On Jami overwhelmed with guilt and sorrow,

    INT. WAITING ROOM

    The room is in an uproar as Craig has Paul pinned down on the floor, punching him repeatedly. Holden and Casey manage to pull Craig off as Tom and Dusty help a bloody Paul up.

    John and Chris stand in between the two parties, serving as barriers.

    Craig: You b*stard I could kill you and that old b*tch, Lucinda.
    Lily: Craig!
    Craig: Sorry, Lily, but your mother has brought this upon herself.
    Margo: Craig, it was an accident.
    Craig: Oh shut the h*ll up, Margo. Your dumb a** always take everyone else’s side but MINE! YOUR BROTHER! YOUR FLESH AND BLOOD!

    Craig breaks free from Holden and Casey’s grip.

    Craig: No one in here cares about me or my son—no one but Roseanna, Johnny, and Liberty! The rest of you are just posers. Phonies!
    Katie: That’s not tr—
    Craig: Shut up, Katie. You’re just like Margo! A fairweather sister! When you need me, you come running but any other time I am like dirt beneath your feet. I am nothing to you!

    Katie starts to tear up.

    Roseanna: Craig, let’s go.
    Craig: Hold on, sweetheart, let me deliver these last fatal blows. (to Paul) You’ve robbed me just that b*tch of a sister of yours robbed me of Bryant.

    Chris and John hold back Dusty and Paul as they both now rowdy by Craig’s last insult.

    Craig: But why I am not surprised. You’re Barbara Ryan’s seed. Misery follows her everywhere she goes, and now it has rubbed off on you as well.
    Paul: I think you got that backwards, buddy. Misery follows YOU everywhere.
    Craig: Maybe. . .but not after today. For now on, I’ll be the one issuing out the misery. He was gone but now he is back—old, bitter, angry Craig is back! He’s back!

    Craig takes Roseanna by the hand and walks off.

    Paul: He’s back? Has he ever left? (to Margo) Aren’t you going to arrest him?
    Margo: For once, no. And you aren’t going to press charges either.
    Paul: He just beat me senseless, and cursed everyone out in here!
    Lily: He’s in pain.
    Dusty: But that doesn’t have a right for him to bring up Jennifer.
    Luke: Who gives a d*mn! What about Gabriel! What about him! I don’t know why I came back here. First Reid and now Gabriel—I can’t deal with this!

    Luke runs off.

    MONTAGE

    INT. GABRIEL’S ROOM – Bob switches off the life-support machine. Bob walks out as we notice Liberty sits next to his bed. Liberty opens up a letter from Gabriel addressed to her and a ring falls out the envelope into her hand. Seeing this, she crawls into the bed, crying. She kisses him on the lips and places the engagement ring on her hand before resting her head on his chest. Meanwhile, Parker watches on from outside, saddened.

    INT. LOCKER ROOM – Jami sits alone on in one of the showers, and pulls out a photo of Bob & Kim that she lifted off her mother. She holds the photo close to her heart and starts to sob uncontrollably.

    INT. FAIRWINDS – Emily sits alone on the sofa when she hears the door. She rushes to see its Paul with a patched up nose. She runs over and inspects his face, and he sways her away before walking off, leaving Emily hurt.

    INT. JACK/CARLY—Jack lies in the bed, destroyed by the news of his mother’s death. Carly crawls into bed, wiping the tears from Jack’s face before cuddling with him.

    EXT. GRAVEYARD – While Janet stands back watching, Dusty, with Johnny, goes and places some flowers on Jennifer’s grave. Dusty holds his son tightly. Suddenly, Katie & Chris appear. Chris stands back as Katie goes and does the same as Dusty, placing flowers on Brad’s grave. John emerges with his own flowers and walks over and kneels down, placing flowers on Little Johnny’s (his son with Barbara) grave. We get a nearby shot of Bryant’s grave, which is near Little Johnny’s grave. John plucks off a flower and places it on his grave.

    INT. WALSH ESTATE – Lily barges in, hysterical, falling into Lucinda’s arms. Lucinda consoles her.

    INT. CAR – Holden drives around, looking concerned as he looks for Luke. He comes to a train track and notices Luke’s car parked off to the side. He then notices Luke, in a grief stricken daze, staring as a train goes down the track. Holden realizes this is the same place where Reid was killed. He gets out and puts his arms around his son, who collapses in his arm, in tears.

    INT. GABRIEL’S ROOM – Craig & Roseanna return to see a nurse pull a sheet over Gabriel’s face before wheeling him out. Not being able to take it, Craig’s kneels buckle and he falls to the floor, crying uncontrollably. Roseanna sits beside him and holds him tightly.

    As Craig buries his face in Roseanna’s chest, crying,

    INT. SPAULDING LIVING ROOM

    Phillip, Lizzie, Beth, James, Alan Michael, Bill, India, Dorrie, and Alan enter tossing their belongings off to the side. They all slump onto the various chairs, still stricken with concern for Alex.

    Beth: Do you all know when visiting hours begin tomorrow?
    A-M: Some time around 8 AM.
    Beth: Thanks. I'll go visit Alex after the board meeting.
    Alan: (becoming alert) Board meeting?
    Phillip: Yeah. The one we were supposed to have today? I postponed it till tomorrow.
    Alan: For what? Alex is out of commission, so I should resume full control of Spaulding until she gets better.
    Phillip: Not so fast, Dad. There is still myself and Alan Michael--
    A-M: I don't want anything to do with Spaulding. Dad and I are finally on the same page and I wanna keep it that way. You're on your own, brother. Dad, have fun. You have my vote.
    Alan: (touched) Thanks son.

    Phillip watches on as this touching moment takes place in disbelief.

    Phillip: We can't decide who is running the company right here! The board has to decide. . .
    A-M: Well I want no part of Spaulding. I'm just fine at WSPR and the Springfield Journal.
    Alan: Well that's two votes.
    Beth: Well my vote is for Phillip.
    Alan: (flippant) As if that came as a surprise. . .
    India: And my vote is Alan!
    Lizzie: What are you talking about, you don't have a vote.
    Phillip: Actually she does.
    Lizzie: What?!
    Alan: You can blame your father for that. He and Alan Michael had a clause in their marriages giving their exes a substantial amount of stock in the company.
    Lizzie: Then I vote for my father!

    Everyone looks at James, who is in his own world. He then notices the piercing looks, resembling a pack of hyenas circling their prey.

    Lizzie: You're vote?
    James: Then I vote for you.
    Alan: What?!
    Lizzie: (overlapping) Me?!
    James: Yeah, you. Dad and Alan Michael ran the company when they were your age, so why can't you?
    Bill: I second that.
    Lizzie: (baffled) You guys can't be serious.
    Alan: Clearly they can't be.

    Phillip sits back and examines this ordeal in deep thought, then

    Phillip: I third that decision.
    Everyone: Huh?
    Phillip: I support Lizzie being interim Co-CEO of Spaulding for the time being, and every vote cast for me will go to her.
    Alan: You can't do that!!
    Phillip: (smiling proudly) I just did. I think that this is the right time for Lizzie.
    Alan: Well what about the other board members?!
    Phillip: I seriously doubt that any of them will vote in your favor, Dad. Plus, you'll still be a Co-CEO unless you want to make the vote be for full CEO.

    Alan, looking cross, sits back in the sofa with his arms crossed.

    Lizzie: (emotional) Thanks, Dad. (to Alan) And I hope I can learn a lot from you for the time being.

    Alan gets up and storms off.

    Lizzie: . . .Or not.
    India: (awkwardly) So. . . does that mean I can still run the Spaulding foundation and do PR for the company?
    Lizzie: (getting up) For the time being. (walking off) Until I catch you screwing up and you're fired.
    Bill: Goodnight, everyone.
    Beth: Night.

    Bill follows Lizzie as they exit.

    India: Well I better get some rest too.
    Beth: You better because your days are numbered.

    India turns her head up and walks up with Dorrie tagging behind her. The two pass by Caroline (Hope), who enter the room with a plate of cookies.

    Caroline: Anyone hungry?
    A-M: Not anymore.

    Caroline is wounded by dig but does her best not to show it.

    Phillip: I wouldn't mind a few.

    Caroline walks over and holds the plate out to Phillip, who grabs a few. He takes a bite and is pleased with what he has just eaten.

    Phillip: Taste good. I haven't had cookies like this since your Aunt Meta, Alan Michael. Tastes like her cookies.

    Caroline contains herself as she almost looses it.

    A-M: (getting up) I can't.
    Phillip: Where are you going?
    A-M: To call Lucy and let her know what has happened to Susan and Nick. I'll see you all in the morning. (at Caroline, coldly) Well hopefully some of you.

    Alan Michael exits. Then Phillip gets up and grabs his coat.

    Beth: Where are you going?
    Phillip: To grab a late order from Company. James, call and make the order and get me the usual. Order whatever you guys like.
    Beth: Then I am coming with you.
    Phillip: Beth, not this time. I need some time alone.

    Phillip exits. On Beth, hurt a bit,

    INT. COMPANY

    A few minutes late, Phillip enters and heads to the counter where Daisy is standing.

    Phillip: Hey you!
    Daisy: Hey. Your order should be done shortly.
    Phillip: Take your time.

    Phillip turns away for a second to scope the room out, but notices Kevin and Jason passing by about to exit.

    Phillip: (stopping them) Hey, Kevin. And welcome home, Jason.
    Jason: What?
    Phillip: I said welcome home.
    Kevin: (speeding up convo, trying to push Jason out the door) Thank, Phillip. So nice to see you.
    Jason: (jerking free) You're being condescending.
    Phillip: (perplexed) What are you talking about?
    Jason: You think I've forgotten that you killed my dad?

    Phillip is stunned by this. Kevin goes to drag Jason out again but Jason pushes him off of him.

    Jason: You killed my father and you got off scots-free but you won't get off that easily. You've forgotten who I am!
    Phillip: Jason, calm down. Let's sit down and. . .
    Jason: I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU! (with venom) Not ever. . .

    Buzz and Rocky come from the back to see what is going on--Phillip and Jason facing off.

    Phillip: You're making a spectacle, Jason.
    Kevin: Yeah, you are!
    Jason: Shut up, Kevin! (to Phillip) And you, you can't tell me a damn thing. You murderer. My father is dead because of you and you're sidekick! Dead!

    Mel and Leah, who happen to be sitting nearby, watch on.

    Mel: I better call Blake. . .
    Leah: For what?! What he is saying is all true. They did call their father and he should be angry. Don't you all see it.
    Mel: Leah!

    Becoming too much, Leah gets up and storms towards the bathroom. Mel chases after her.

    Jason: You see that? You see how everyone is affected by your stupid actions?!

    Phillip eyes well up with tears as he realizes for once what he has truly caused.

    Jason: My father was there for you always and you betrayed him!
    Kevin: And you are embarrassing his name by acting like this now, Jason!
    Jason: Oh no, I'm doing him a service. I'm seeking vengeance!
    Phillip: Jason. . .
    Jason: Oh don't (mocking) "Jason" me! I don't wanna hear it. Just know that your days of living comfortably with your wife and kids are over.
    Kevin: Stop! He's our family!
    Jason: And blood will bring you down quicker than water. Dad had to learn the hard way, but you will too Phillip. Not only am I my father's son but I am also my grandfather's grandson! You'll know that soon enough.
    Holly (OS): Jason!

    Jason turns to see Holly, Dinah, and Blake standing by the door, shocked by the entire ordeal. On Jason, fuming

    INT. CEDARS (ER/HALLWAY)

    Alex lies motionless hooked up to the machines as her family crowds around outside her room waiting patiently. Suddenly, Rick makes his way down the hall and Phillip spots him and rushes over to him. The rest of the family follows suit, crowding behind Phillip with worried looks on their faces.

    Alan: Give it to us straight, Bauer!
    Lizzie: Shut up, Granddad.
    Phillip: Any news?
    Rick: Yes. Alex will be just fine.
    Beth: Thank God.
    Rick: She just had a slight heart attack. Luckily, Alan found her before it got worse. But I am curious as to what caused Alex to have a heart attack.
    Beth: Ask, Alan.

    Everyone looks at Alan, demanding answers.

    Alan: I am just as clueless as you are.
    Phillip: You better hope that Alan Michael finds out what that phone call was about, and it better not be tied to you.
    Alan: I had nothing to with Alex having a heart attack! If she didn’t lie in bed eating all the damn time, watching Turner Classic Movies, she wouldn’t be in the mess she is in!

    India and Dorrie come charging down the corridor towards the family. Phillip groans.

    Rafe: What are you two doing here?
    India: Alexandra! Where is my stepmother?! Is she alright?!

    On India, panicking,

    INT. CEDARS

    Picking up where we left off. . .

    India: Is she alright?!
    Beth: Like you care.
    India: I actually do, Beth. She is my stepmother.
    Lizzie: Was!
    Alan: (to India) She is fine, sweetheart.
    Phillip: Sweetheart? (pointing at Alan & India) What’s going on here?
    India: What are you talking about? Just because he called me sweetheart doesn’t mean we are sleeping together, Phillip.
    Beth: I bet that is a lie.
    India: Oh . . . you’d know seeing as sleeping through the Spaulding clan is up your alley, Beth. I’ve always wondered when Alan Michael was going to have his turn. . .

    Beth goes to swipe at India, but Phillip and Rick hold her back.

    India: My, my. . . I must’ve struck a nerve.
    Lizzie: Why don’t you just leave, India! You’re not even family.
    Dorrie: And there goes the Princess. Always trying to dictate. . . At first, I didn’t believe it but now I do. No wonder all the men you’ve loved found solace elsewhere. Coop, Jonathan . . .—I wonder when Bill will get the hint and exit stage left?
    James: Hey, Dad, there’s Alan Michael.

    Alan Michael joins the crowd.

    Phillip: Did you find out anything?
    A-M: Yep. For once, Dad had nothing to do with the situation.
    India: (resting her head on Alan’s chest) What a relief. . .
    Alan: (to India) What’s that supposed to mean?
    James: Then what caused Aunt Alex to pass out?
    A-M: Fletcher.
    Rick: Fletcher? Fletcher Reade?
    A-M: He called Alex from Paris.
    India: And that nearly killed her? A man calling her?
    Alan: Trust me, India, if you were in her shoes, you’d have a heart attack if a man called you too.

    Alan and India share a sly grin.

    Lizzie: That’s not funny!
    A-M: Fletcher said that there was an accident involving Nick.
    Phillip: Is he alright?
    A-M: No. His plane went down into the ocean. They haven’t recovered his body.
    Beth: Poor Alex!
    A-M: Sad thing is that they think that this has something to do with Uncle Mike too.
    Rick: What?
    A-M: Fletcher told me that Mike and Nick were working on a case together involving dirty politicians. Supposedly, they were doing business with a huge cartel throughout Europe. Mike got Nick to do some investigating and things went left. FBI is assuming that both incidents are tied together.
    Lizzie: What about Susan?
    A-M: (clearing his throat, emotional) She’s dead.

    This revelation just stuns everyone. There is a moment of silence as they all reflect on what is going on.

    Alan: Was the boy on the plane—Little Nicky?
    A-M: Umm . . . no. I called the boarding school in Switzerland and he is still there.
    Alan: Then we should go and get him.
    Phillip: For what, Dad?
    Alan: He should be near family!
    Phillip: I seriously doubt that he wants to be surrounded by of bunch of strangers.
    Alan: We’re not strangers. We’re family. . .
    James: That he’s never known. Only person he knows is Aunt Alex and she is in no condition to go and get him.
    Alan: Not true! He knows Alan Michael!
    A-M: He does.
    Alan: Then you should go and get him. Bring him back to Springfield so he can be near his family.
    Lizzie: Grandpa, this isn’t the time for you to start staking claim on what is yours! This boy has lost another set of parents . . . again.

    Beth walks over to the door and peeks on Alex, resting peacefully

    Beth: (misty eyed, to self) So has Alex. First Lujack and now Nick.

    Beth gently places on her hand on the window as tears stream down her eyes and

    Cassie: You do realize that Marah picked it out don’t you.
    Olivia: Of course.
    Cassie: (not convinced, hand on hip) What are you up to, Olivia?
    Olivia: (feigning confusion) What do you mean?
    Cassie: I said that Marah—
    Olivia: I heard you. She picked out that fabric for the suites. I said I like it. I am allowed to like it, am I?
    Cassie: Sure.

    Olivia starts to walk off, then

    Olivia: (turning around) Marah. . .

    Marah looks up at Olivia, uneasy.

    Olivia: (musters up tears) I apologize for my actions. I realized that Sam would be upset if I treated you this way and I should realize that what happened in Switzerland was an accident. I hope you accept my apology.

    Marah nods with a smile, accepting her apology.

    Olivia: Welcome aboard.
    Marah: Thank you.

    Olivia nods back before turning away and walking off with a devilish grin on her face. She has Marah right where she wants her. . .

    Jason and Kevin occupy a booth. Jason gobbles down his meal as if it is his last as Kevin watches on amused. Jason looks up, realizing his brother watching him.

    Jason: Something on my face?
    Kevin: No.
    Jason: (putting down his fork) Then what is it, twin?
    Kevin: Just the fact that you are eating like you haven’t eaten in months.
    Jason: I have but you know how the food is in Europe.
    Kevin: True. Nothing compares to a home cooked meal or a meal from Company.
    Jason: You can say that again.
    Rocky, waiting on the twins, comes from back and to their table.
    Rocky: You guys need anything else?
    Kevin: I think we’re good.

    Kevin looks at Jason to make sure, and Jason gives him the thumbs up as continues to devour his meal.

    Rocky: (sliding into the booth) How weird is it that we’re all back home—back in Springfield.

    Holly stands behind the cameraman, grinning at her new creation. She gives the gang a “thumbs up.”

    Blake: Today’s news, Bay City’s printing heiress, Amanda Cory, has been allegedly kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend, Evan Frame. Word is that he has also kidnapped his aunt, Sharlene Frame as well.
    Dinah: (interjecting) This isn’t the first interaction between the Frames and Corys as Evan’s mother, Janice Frame, was once married to Mac Cory, father of Amanda Cory.
    Blake: (mumbling) That was my line.
    Dinah: (ignoring her) Janice Frame was eventually murdered by Rachel Cory, wife of Mac and mother of Amanda Cory, after—
    Blake: JANICE FRAME’S (eyeing Dinah) plan to murder Mac Cory was discovered by Rachel Cory.

    Reginald’s eyes widen at the sight of these two passively going at each other. Holly watches on for a second then buries her face in her hand, embarrassed.

    Dinah: Listen here, Blake. . .
    Blake: What, Dinah?
    Holly (watching on) Dear God. . .
    Reginald: (saving it) WE ARE going to (hesitantly laughing) turn it over to our sister affiliate KBAY and reporter, Ashanti Billingslea. Take it away. Please. . .
    Holly: Cut!

    Holly storms onto the set.

    Holly: You do realize that we are live?!
    Blake: She started it.
    Dinah: I told you that she wasn’t right for the job, Holly.
    Blake: Oh please. We were only a few minutes into the show and I was already carrying you two.
    Reginald: (taken back) You did what? Hold on, Red, no one has to carry Reginald Wilson. Let me get that straight right now. Any monkey can read from a teleprompter.
    Blake: Are you calling me a monkey?!
    Holly: (starting to lose it) Guys. . .

    Reginald: (loosening his ties, uncomfortable) You—You killed someone?
    Blake: Sure did. MY BROTHER!
    Director: Twenty seconds!
    Dinah: This coming from the same chick that was off her rocker not too long ago. Does the Springfield Blogger ring a bell?!
    Blake: But did I kill anyone?
    Dinah: No but I bet you wish you could me.
    Blake: Don’t tempt me.
    Director: Ten seconds!
    Reginald: I think I’m gonna be sick.
    Dinah: Honey, it doesn’t take too much to tempt you. Reginald, do you know that my father was with her mother before she seduced him? I never knew what my father saw in this wh*re. . .

    Blake gasps.

    Dinah: (continuing) I mean all the Spaulding rode her hard and put her out to pasture. I guess she had to start working on poor Phillip’s biological family seeing as she went through the adoptive family.
    Blake: B*tch!
    Director: 5. . .4. . .3. . .2. . .1!

    Daisy: James just called me. His aunt is in the hospital.
    Rocky: Alexandra?
    Daisy: Yeah. I wanna take off but I have to work this shift now. I feel like horrible girlfriend.

    Daisy storms off into the kitchen and Rocky chases after her. Kevin looks over at Jason, who shrugs his shoulder.

    Jason: Guess God answered my prayers quicker than usual.

    Kevin and Jason slide back in the booth.

    Kevin: Don’t say that. Alexandra happens to be a nice woman and was very close to Dad.
    Jason: I know. However, she was also the woman that led the witch hunt against Grandpa Roger. She was also the same woman that treated Mom like dirt beneath her feet and tried to get rid of her when she married to that scum, Phillip.
    Kevin: That was before our time, and neither Mom nor Grandpa was a saint.
    Jason: Who is?
    Kevin: So you think it’s OK that this poor woman had a heart attack?
    Jason: Did I say that?
    Kevin: No but your mood says otherwise.
    Jason: Guess what? You’re wrong.
    Kevin: I don’t think I am. Especially since this affects Phillip.
    Jason: Whatever.
    Kevin: I’m warning you now, if you came back to town on a crusade to take down Rick and Phillip—
    Jason: Why are you so protective of those two?
    Kevin: Because Phillip is our cousin and Rick was a friend of Dad.
    Jason: Oh no. It’s deeper than that.
    Kevin: It really isn’t.
    Jason: It is.
    Kevin: Like I said before, if you came back here to go on a crusade to ruin Phillip and Rick then you better pack up and head back to Europe.
    Jason: Nice try, twin. I’m not leaving that easily and Rick and Phillip aren’t getting off that easily either. . .

    Olivia rolls out of bed and draws the blinds to window, bringing in a surge of sunlight. She walks over to her vanity where she plops down and has a seat, examining herself in the mirror.

    Suddenly, in the mirror splits (in Olivia’s mind), showing her Id (primitive side), which looks very sluttish, and her superego (moralistic side), which looks very natural and maternal, looking back at her.

    Olivia: What the fu— (rubbing her eyes) Am I going insane?

    Superego: No, but you keep down this path you will.

    Id: (tuts) Oh please.

    Superego: Olivia, you know what you’re doing is wrong. Deep down you know that Sam’s death was an accident. He chose to save Marah and risk his life. You giving a hard time is disrespecting him.

    Olivia takes this food for thought, but noticing this, Id jumps in.

    Id: (to Superego) Shut up! (to Olivia) Don’t listen. That little tramp is flaunting around town like her stuff don’t stank. She planned the trip. She invited Sam. She is the reason he was there.

    Superego: Not true!

    Id: Yes it is! You know it is too, Olivia.

    Olivia: I cannot believe that I am sitting here talking to myself.

    Id: Believe it and believe that Marah does not give a damn about you or your brother. How has she respected your wishes? Has she stayed away from you like you asked? No!

    Superego: Well Springfield isn’t that big. . .

    Id: It’s big enough for her to find work elsewhere. And don’t forget that this is the same little twerp that tried to break you and Josh up all those years ago. Remember that? You remember how she disrespected you.

    Olivia: True.

    Superego: Olivia, that was years ago.

    Id: Yep, but a leopard never changes his spots. That little witch is probably grinning at the fact that she is lived and your brother died.

    Superego: Olivia, listen to me, you will only hurt yourself if you go on trying to punish Marah.

    Id: She’s right.

    Olivia: Huh?!

    Superego: (overlapping) Huh?!

    Id: She is right about you going on to punish Marah the way that you have.

    Superego: (unsure) I am? (thinking for a sec, then gloating) I am.

    Id: I think you should switch your approach. Let her keep the job.

    Superego: See, Id, I knew I’d rub off on you eventually.

    Id: Oh b*tch please. (to Olivia) Keep your enemies closer, Olivia. You keep that little tramp close and then you slit her throat when she least expects it.

    Olivia smiles at the sound of this plan.

    Superego: Olivia!

    Olivia: Shut up! (to Id) You know what, I like your style.

    Superego: Olivia! Don’t do it.

    Jeffrey: But you can clearly see she had no idea that he was going to poison Phillip.

    Michelle: I know.

    Danny: I feel that if we are going to stay in Springfield then I want this place to be safe for Robbie and Hope.

    Ed: Well I think you are the man who could get it done. I just hate that you are running against Rusty.

    Michelle: . . .and Doris.

    Ed: Well her too.

    Ed pours Danny a glass of lemonade and hands it to him.

    Ed: (raising his glass) To the future Mayor of Springfield!

    Danny: Cheers.

    As Danny and Ed celebrate, Michelle eases into the house and down the hall into the

    Tierra: I know right.

    Lizzie: When I heard that you were coming back home, I had was thrilled.

    Tierra: Well I got a table for us.

    Lizzie and Tierra walk over to their table that has a pitcher filled with margarita in it. The grab a glass and pour themselves a drink.

    Lizzie: I can’t stay for too long. I have a board meeting at Spaulding in a few.

    Tierra: Lizzie Spaulding, look at you! A businesswoman?! I would’ve never. . .

    Lizzie: Neither did I.

    Tierra: I just hope I land this job today.

    Lizzie: Where?

    Tierra: The Springfield Journal.

    Lizzie: (stops sipping her drink) Really?

    Tierra: Yep.

    Lizzie: Today might be your lucky day as my uncle, Alan Michael is GM of both the Journal and WSPR with Holly Reade, a good family friend. I could put in a good word with you.

    Tierra: I couldn’t ask you to do that.

    Lizzie: It’s already settled. I’ll do it once I leave here.

    Dorrie comes sashaying into the bar donning designer clothes from head to toe. She notices Lizzie and waves. Lizzie moans.

    Tierra: Who is she?

    Lizzie: A piece of trash.

    Dorrie advances over the table to cause trouble.

    Dorrie: Lizzie, aren’t you going to invite me to have drinks?

    Lizzie: No.

    Tierra: There is enough—
    Lizzie drives her elbow into Tierra’s side.

    Lizzie: You’ll have to get your own drink—that is if you can afford it.

    Dorrie: That’s no problem. (digging in her purse to reveal Alan’s credit card) Your grandfather is taking care of the tab for me.

    Lizzie’s jaw drops.

    Dorrie: Now if you’ll excuse me.

    Dorrie tosses her hair and walks off.

    Lizzie: That little bit—

    Dorrie heads into the bar and bumps into Dinah.

    Dorrie: Dinah?

    Dinah studies Dorrie’s face for a sec, then

    Dinah: Dorrie, is that you?

    Dorrie: In the flesh.

    Dinah hugs Dorrie.

    Dinah: When did you get back in town?

    Dorrie: A while back. I went back to Europe to sever some ties and I am here for the long haul.

    Dinah: So where are you staying?

    Dorrie: With the Spauldings.

    Dinah looks past Dorrie at Lizzie, who is watching on in a blind rage.

    Dinah: I can tell they don’t like you.

    Dorrie: Who cares. Alan likes me.

    Dinah: You just better remember that Alan is snake.

    Dorrie: And my mother is the mongoose.

    Dinah: True. Let’s have a drink before I have to head back to the station.
    Dorrie: Sure. I’ll pay or Alan will.

    Dinah: Then I’ll have the most expensive drink on the menu.

    Dorrie and Dinah laugh as Lizzie continues to watch on.

    Lizzie: How could Dinah be associated with her? (thinking about it) Never mind. This is Dinah we are talking about.

    Tierra: Who is she?

    Lizzie: Dinah? Oh my sister-in-law that hates me and vice versa.

    Tierra: That’s nice.

    Remy, a wreck, drags himself into the bar. Tierra notices him.

    Tierra: (nudging Lizzie) Hey! Isn’t that Remy Boudreau from high school?

    Rocky: You OK?

    Trista: Huh?

    Rocky: You were tapping your pencil on the table.

    Trista: Dear God, I am so sorry.

    Rocky: No you're fine.

    They go back to studying, then

    Trista: Does something look like it is bothering me?

    Rocky: (looking up) You tell me.

    Trista: OK. I'm not.

    Rocky: Then what is it?

    Trista: They know.

    Rocky: Who?

    Trista: My Aunt Reva and Grandpa Hawk.

    Rocky: They do.

    Trista: Yep. Grandfather says he always knew, which stunned both me and Reva.

    Rocky: So does Rusty know?

    Trista: Not yet. But he will sooner to later.

    Reva and Cassie stand at the room service counter looking over blueprints with Olivia and Dylan. Rusty strides in bearing posters.

    Reva: Rusty! What are you doing here?

    Rusty: Just here to drop off a few flyers and see if you mind me hanging up a few posters.

    Cassie: Go ahead.

    Olivia: I think NOT!

    Cassie and Reva side eye Olivia. Olivia gives it right back to them.

    Cassie: Why can't he?

    Olivia: Bad for business.

    Reva: Here we go.

    Cassie: How?

    Olivia: You own the hotel and your half brother is running for office. You allowing him to hang posters in here is favoritism and you might offend some of the guest that do not want to vote for him.

    Cassie: So what. I don't care.

    Olivia: But I do.

    Rusty: (awkardly) You know what, nevermind.

    Reva: Hold up!

    Reva walks behind the counter, stopping him.

    Reva: Give me some of those flyers then.

    Olivia: Excuse me?

    Reva: You said that posters were a "no," but you didn't say no to flyers.

    Reva takes some of the flyers.

    Reva: We can sit them on the service counter for when guests check in. Do you have any pamphlets too?

    Olivia: Excuse me, Reva, you work for me!

    Reva: No. I work for Cassie sometimes and Joshua. Those are my two bosses.

    Olivia: Well if you keep disrespecting me then you'll be down to one job and I doubt they'll keep you at Lewis Construction seeing as you'll also result in them losing a contract--our contract.

    Cassie: Who decided that?

    Olivia: Me. Case closed. No political memorabilia.

    Reva: She is assisting Cassie.

    Cassie comes from behind the counter, wrapping her arm around Marah's shoulder.

    Cassie: She is gonna be the one to help redesign the hotel.

    Olivia: (searching for something to say, then) . . .She is--what?! Oh hell no. One Shayne is enough. Two is too many, but three is a crowd that I ain't having.

    Marah: (to Cassie) I told you.

    Olivia: And they should've listened.

    Cassie: She's staying.

    Olivia: No.

    Marah: Cassie--

    Cassie: NO! (to Olivia) You didn't want anything to do with this. You said that I could handle it and I did. I hired Marah. She is staying.

    Olivia: If I knew you were going to hire her then I would've taken another task on like I've been doing before you decided to come back home.

    Cassie: She is staying and not another word. (to Marah) Let Dylan take to you the third story to see some of the suites you will be redesigning.

    Dylan and Marah get on an elevator nearby, exiting.

    Rusty: I'm gonna go. (taking back the flyers and posters) I'll call you both later.

    Rusty exits.

    Olivia starts to walk off when:

    Reva: Sam must be spinning in his grave.

    Olivia: (turning around) What did you say?

    Reva: You heard me. How you are treating my daughter. Sam would so hate you.

    Olivia charges towards Reva like a bull but Cassie steps inbetween the two.

    Olivia: (enraged with her finger in Reva's face) Don't you ever talk about my brother, you low life Tulsa trash.

    Reva: And you leave my child alone. If you wanna play with the big dogs then you come and pull my chain. Otherwise, you will leave my child alone.

    Olivia: I'll do as I please.

    Reva: And I whoop that--

    Cassie: OK, OK. Enough you two.

    INT. REVA'S LIVING ROOM

    Reva, holding Colin, and Trista sit on the sofa in silence. Reva is somewhat still befuddled over the news she just received.

    Trista: Look, I wanted to ease into the situation and not just pop declaring that I am a Shayne.

    Reva: I understand but how?

    Trista: Through sex. I mean how else--

    Reva: No. I mean how do you know that you are Rusty's child for sure?

    Trista digs into her satchel bag and pulls out a tattered photo album. She hands it to Reva. Reva opens the photo album to the portion that she has bookmarked. On that marked page lies a photo of Rusty and Trista's mother, Laurel. Both have that late 80s, early 90s hair that will make you cringe.

    Trista: I stumbled upon it years ago. My mom had it hidden in the attic. I guess she didn't want me to find it anytime soon and start asking questions.

    Reva: So I am suppose to assume that you are my niece because of a photo of your mom and brother?

    Trista: Yes but no. I just want you to be open to the possiblity that I might be a Shayne.

    Reva: Look, honey... There is no way. You've said that you were born and raised in Atlanta. My brother has never lived in Atlanta. After he left Springfield back in '89 he went back to Tulsa. And I don't remember my brother mentioning a Laurel to me.

    Trista: How would you know? Weren't you declared "dead" in 1990?

    Reva sits on the thought.

    Reva: You are right.

    Trista: And what brother tells his sister all his escapades?

    Reva: True.

    Trista: Mrs. O'Neill --

    Reva: Call me, Reva. Maybe Aunt Reva, eventually.

    A slight smile comes over Trista's face.

    Reva: Anyone else knows about this?

    The doorbell rings.

    Reva: Hold that thought.

    Reva hands Colin over to Trista and goes and answers the door.

    Reva (O.S.): Hey, Pop!

    Hawk (O.S): Hey, Sister -- (running into the living room discovering Trista) Am I interrupting something?

    Reva reenters standing behind Hawk.

    Reva: I think we need to have a chat...

    Hawk: About what?

    Trista: Maybe I should go...

    Reva: No, sweetheart. It's better if you are here.

    Hawk: Reva, girl, what are you going on about?

    Reva: Trista seems to think that Rusty might be her father.

    Hawk: What do you mean think? She is.

    Reva: She is?!

    Trista (overlapping): I am?!

    Hawk: Why yes.

    Reva: You knew?!

    Hawk: Yep. So did Sarah. Her mother, Laurel, went to school at OSU getting her master's degree in medicine. Nice, bright girl. They dated for about a year, and she breathed new life into him -- the life he so desperately needed after Rose died. He met her at the Dirty PussyCat, where she stripping at. Too nice of a girl to be a stripper but she did it to put herself through college. The two somewhat drifted apart after your death, Sister. Rusty was so grief stricken that he kept to himself. She understood his situation and gave him space, but realized she was pregnant. She came and told Sarah and I that she was pregnant with Rusty's child and even got a DNA to show that she was compatible with me even though we knew the child was no one else's.

    Reva: But why didn't you tell, Rusty?

    Hawk: He was so wrapped up in his career that Laurel just thought it was best to leave him alone. She left Tulsa, had Trista, and finished her schooling at --

    Trista: At Emory.

    Hawk: Yep. Sarah and I would check in every Christmas, birthday, and Thanksgiving, send money all the time. Laurel would send us pictures and cards that Trista made for us.

    Trista & Reva: Huh?

    Hawk: The cards that you use to make for Auntie and Uncle O'Neal -- the presents that you got from us every Christmas and Birthday -- that was me and your Grandmother, my child.

    Reva: Oh, Pop. What have you done. If Rusty ever finds out, all hell will break loose.

    Marah (OS) : Mom, What are you talking about?

    Reva nearly jumps out of her skin at the sound of Marah's voice. Marah walks over to Reva, putting her arm on her, comforting her.

    Marah: Do we have to talk about me?

    Reva: No but you do need to talk to someone -- a professional. Maybe I should schedule you some appointments with a therapist?

    Tears start to form in Marah's eyes. She is starting to unravel.

    Marah is stunned by what her mother just said.

    Reva: Yes, I called her a carpet munching bitch. Now what has she done now?

    Marah: Mom. . .

    Reva: Well she eats Natalia's carpet, so what. Now what has she done now?

    Marah: Nothing. I just don't know if I can face her.

    Reva: Screw her. I understand her loss but you are at a loss too. You lost a friend -- a friend that gave up his life to save yours. He just happened to be Sam.

    Marah: You make it sound so bad when you put it like that.

    Reva: But it is true. Sam would not want you moping around and he sure as hell would not want Olivia seeking vengeance on his behalf and she knows it.

    Cassie: No seriously. You need to get those creative juices flowing, and what better way to do so than helping me redecorate.

    Cassie: (hesitantly) . . . No.

    Cassie: True. And I'll be there along with Reva, our new manager.

    Alan: No wonder why don't have a man. And put some clothes on.

    Alex: Last time I checked, this was my domain. My room--

    Alan: MY HOUSE.

    Alex: Correction, OUR HOUSE.

    Alan: Whatever. (slamming files on her bed) You did not tell me about Petrenoyva deal, Alex.

    Alex: Why should I?

    Alan: You are doing this because I brought India on as the head of the Spaulding Foundation.

    Alex: Maybe.

    Alan: OK but you knew that, that deal was mine, right?

    Alex: Well look at it as a favor.

    Alan: How about I don't.

    Alex: Listen here, Alan. I thought we were suppose to be co-CEOs. I thought that we were over the power struggle. I thought that you said we would consult each other before making final decisions.

    Alan: So this is about India?!

    Alex: HELL YEAH. You know I don't care for her. Why did you bring her and that daughter of hers on.

    Alan: Because she needed a job and she did run the foundation well for years.

    Alex: Oh yes, Alan, and we shall see how well it goes. You, once again putting an uzi in a psycho's hand. Let's see how it goes this time.

    Alan: We will. Along with some major changes at Spaulding.

    Alex's head snaps back at Alan, not grasping what he is implying.

    Alan: I think that it is time that I take over as the permanent CEO.

    Alex: Over my dead body.

    Alan: So tempting.

    Alex: See I tried to be nice but now I guess I am going to have to take the gloves off with you, baby brother. I guess we are going to have to take it back to the boardroom again. I wonder what Phillip's ex-wives are up to?

    Alan: Ha ha. Very funny. I doubt you'll have the votes this time.

    Alex: I'm sure I will let's have a run down, shall we? Harley will never vote with you.

    Alan: Meh.

    Alex: Blake will vote in unison with Harley.

    Alan: She was always an idiot.

    Alex: Then there is Mindy. . .

    Alan: Who is back on good terms with Phillip. She and Beth will vote with me if Phillip follows suit.

    Alex: But that won't happen. Because I have Nick's proxy in the company and I am allowed to vote for my son, seeing as he is out of the country at the moment. Oh and Alan Michael hates you, so he'll vote for me.

    Alan: My son and I are getting back on good terms.

    Alex: Who are kidding? Alan Michael is only speaking to you because of Caroline.

    Alan: That woman works wonders. . .

    Alex: Doesn't matter because I'll just bring up Phillip and him being your favorite and that'll sway Alan Michael in my direction.

    Alan: He's just one. James will vote with me.

    Alex: Maybe. But I have Lizzie.

    Alan's face drop.

    Alex: Yep. Lizzie will vote with me as she does 99.9% of the time. And Bill hates you so he wouldn't dare let her vote with you. He'll use his portion of the stock to vote in favor, and her voting with me will wreck shop for you. Phillip nor Beth would dare vote against Lizzie. They'll vote in unison after she puts those puppy dog eyes on them. Then Phillip will strong arm James into following suit too -- a new car is what he'll bribe him with. So what does that leave you with? -- Oh yeah, you'll lose Mindy too in that process. So all you'll have is India's vote. Oh and Amanda because she was an idiot and gave you her proxy. And don't forget our half, the Tamerlains. Vicky will vote with me seeing as you treated her like a dog when she was in Springfield. Anyone else?

    Alan snatches the file off the bed and storms out the room. Alex burst into a hearty laughter.

    Alex: Bye, bye, Alan! (lying on the bed) Now where was I. . .

    Alex goes back to watching TV.

    Alan, lingers outside her door, livid in deep thought.

    Alan: (deep thought) I gotta find a way to get Lizzie to vote for me or better yet, convince Bill. Or even worse, remove both obstacles -- both Alex and Lizzie.

    On Alan, pleased with what he has come up with,

    INT. ALAN MICHAEL'S OFFICE

    Picking up where we left off with Holly standing in front of the door, stunned.

    Holly: Did I hear you correctly?

    Holly steps into the office closing the door. Alan Michael and Hope are uneasy at this point.

    Holly: Hope?

    Hope: (sighs) Yes. Its me.

    Holly covers her mouth, at a loss for words. She tries fighting back the tears.

    Holly: But you are supposed to be--

    Hope: Dead. I know. (glances at Alan Michael) Some people even wish that I stayed that way.

    Holly: No! No! (grabbing Hope and holding her tight) Don't say that. We all mourned you at the funeral. We all thought that you were dead. (pulling away, looking at Hope) Does Ed know about this?

    Hope: No and I want it to stay that way too.

    Holly: Oh no. Oh HELL no. Ed needs to know about this.

    Hope: No!

    Holly: Why?!

    Hope turns away from them, grief stricken.

    Hope: Because this is a new lease on life -- a new one for me. That crash was not only a curse but a blessing also. Hope Bauer is dead. I am now Caroline, the woman everyone adores and looks to for help. Not some drunken mess.

    Holly: (reaching out to her) Hope...

    Hope snatches away.

    Hope: No! Holly, you have to promise me that you'll keep quiet. PROMISE ME!!

    Holly looks to Alan Michael for assitance; however, he shurgs his shoulders and turns away.

    Hope: Holly!

    And on Holly conflicted,

    INT. MEL'S CLASS

    Mel is still stunned from Kevin's accusation.

    Mel: How do you know?

    Kevin: I was just guessing. I mean you throwing up, you being really emotional as of late -- it doesn't take a doctor to say that.

    Mel: Funny you'd say that, but I am gonna need you to keep quiet about this.

    Kevin: OK. I mean it is none of my business anyways.

    Mel: Right. Now we need to talk about this paper.

    Kevin: Do we have too?

    Mel: Yes. Your mother seems to think that you are a sure win for the Ross Marler Undergraduate Award this year, and I'm sorry to burst your bubble but you're not. No offense, but I'm beginning to think that this is not your passion.

    Kevin: It's not.

    Mel: (confused): It's not? Then why are you--

    Kevin: My mom. She wants me to be like my dad, but I'm not nor will I ever be. My passion is for the people but law.

    Mel: Then what?

    Kevin: Medicine.

    Mel: That's great! (gloating) I use to be a doctor you know.

    Kevin: I know which is why I want to do it.

    Mel: Because of me?

    Kevin: Well not just you but all the other great doctors at Cedars.

    Mel: Then why not go into medicine.

    Kevin: How can I?! What I am suppose to do? Tell my mother that I want to go into medicine like my idol, Dr. Rick Bauer, the same doctor, who had a hand in Phillip going on the run, which result in my father's death!

    On Mel taken back

    INT. REVA'S DINING ROOM

    Trista plays with Colin in his highchair when Reva enters dangling the locket. Trista turns to see Reva holding it. She is at a loss for words.

    Reva: What is this?

    Trista: I-I can explain?

    Reva: You better because right things aren't looking up for you. You befriending Rocky then Daisy, coming to my Thanksgiving dinner, and now you are carrying a locket around with my brother's picture in it. You better have an explaination.

    Trista: Well see --

    Reva: Spit it out! Who are you!

    Trista: I'M YOUR NIECE!

    Reva: ...What?

    Trista: You heard me. I am your niece. I am Rusty's bastard child.

    And on Reva shocked,

    INT. SPRINGFIELD U - DAY - MEL'S CLASS

    Mel stands by the open door handing out an assignment as the students leave.

    Mel: Everyone have a good weekend. And these are your cases that you will be arguing on for the final. So be prepared.

    Kevin, still by his desk, kneels down and grabs his backpack. Mel looks past the outgoing crowd onto Kevin.

    Mel: Kevin.

    Kevin looks over at Mel, attentive.

    Mel: Could you stay for a second so I can speak with you?

    Kevin nods his head.

    Mel shows out the last student and closes the door.

    Mel: Come up here please.

    Kevin comes down the stairs and approaches Mel's desk. Mel sits in her seat and opens a drawer to pull out Kevin's last test that reads "F." Kevin's eyes widen at the sight of the paper.

    Mel: What is going on?

    Kevin: I -- I can explain.

    Mel: You better have a great one because I just don't see you making through the Spring semester if you aren't passing the first part of the intro class.

    Kevin: I've just been really stressed out.

    Mel: But why? Kevin, you've always been an A+ student since I've known you. This is definitely not you.

    Kevin: Look, it just ONE measly F, OK?

    Mel: But the rest of your grades are D's. Do you realize that you making a D in a core class for your major is still a fail and you have to take it over again.

    Kevin: I'll fix it. You said that the debate is 50% of the grade -- right?

    Mel: Yes.

    Kevin: Then if I make a one-hundred on the final then I'll come out with at least a solid C-.

    Mel: But its very highly that you won't make a one-hundred. It's a rarity. The panel of attorneys that I've selected are going to critique everything you do, and since I've taught this class, no one has ever made no more than 90%.

    Kevin: Then I'll be the exception.

    Mel: Kevin...

    Mel grabs her mouth as she starts to dry heave. She leans down into the trash can and vomits. Kevin jumps back with worry.

    Kevin: Ms. Boudreau, look if I offended you--

    Mel puts up hand signaling him to stop talking. Mel takes a sip of water and pops a mint into her mouth.

    Mel: No worries. It isn't you.

    Kevin: ...Ms. Boudreau, are you sure?

    Mel nods her head reassuringly. She grabs her purse and starts to dig inside it.

    Kevin: Cuz if I didn't no any better, I'd say you were pregnant.

    Mel snaps her head back at Kevin.

    Mel: How did you know?!

    INT. CROSS CREEK - DAY

    The doorbell rings and Reva comes into frame, heading to the door.

    Reva: I'm coming! I'm coming!

    Reva opens the door and there stands Trista. Reva is taken back by her presence.

    Reva: Uh hello, Trista.

    Trista: Hi, Mrs. O'Neill. I just stopped by to see if I dropped my locket here.

    And on Reva's blank expression

    QUICK FLASHBACK - THANKSGIVING

    Of Reva examining the locket closely.

    Trista: (V.O.) Mrs. O'Neill!

    END QUICK FLASH

    Reva shakes her head coming back to reality.

    Reva: C'mon in. Let's see if we can find it.

    Trista steps inside and Reva closes the door behind her.

    Reva: Here, honey, hand me your jacket. I have the heater on.

    Trista: OK. But I was only going to be a quick second.

    Reva: Well no -- I mean why don't you join me for lunch? I was making some vegetable soup for me, Henry, and Colin, and I'd love for you to join us. That is unless you have somewhere to be?

    Trista glances at her watch then looks back at Reva with a warm smile.

    Trista: Nope. I'll join you and the babies.

    Reva: Good. Now about that locket, let's get started on looking for it.

    Trista: OK.

    Trista scurries off. Reva pulls the locket out her pocket as we see a shot of Rusty and Trista's mom (Laurel). Reva puts the locket back in pocket.

    Reva: Now time to get to the bottom of this.

    Reva walks off, and

    INT. WSPR - DAY

    The production staff set up the set as Alan Michael strides into the studio at a face pace with Hope struggling to keep up with him.

    Hope: Alan Michael! Could you give me a second.

    AM: Nope.

    Hope: Scarecrow, wait!

    Alan Michael stops dead in his tracks and turn back to face Hope. He looks as her with malice as he can't believe what she just said.

    AM: Did you just--

    Hope: Call you, Scarecrow? Yes.

    AM: Ugh. I can't believe that you just called me my childhood nickname. No one can call me that but my mother.

    Hope: I am! (sotto) I am...

    AM: Nope. She died in that crash.

    Alan Michael walks off into





    ALAN MICHAEL'S OFFICE

    where he slams his briefcase on the desk. He tosses his jacket on the chair when Hope graciously eases in. Alan Michael turns to notice her still following him.

    AM: Can I please have a moment to breathe? Please?! Just back the hell off!

    Hope slams the door and rushes up to Alan Michael where she puts her finger in his face, reprimanding him.

    Hope: I don't give a damn if you are mad but you aren't going to disrespect me! Do you hear me?!





    STUDIO

    Holly wears a smile that shines throughout the room. As she walks, the various staff members shout "Hello" or "Good day, Ms. Norris." Holly waves back as she comes to Alan Michael's door. She just about to knock when she hears shouting come from out the room.

    AM: Respect?! You want respect? After all you did?

    Holly quietly cracks the door open enough to hear as,

    Hope: I AM YOUR MOTHER DAMMIT! You will respect me. You will respect me!

    Holly slides in and slams the door gaining their attention.

    AM: Holly? W-What do you want?

    Holly: Mother? That is what I heard, right? Caroline is Hope?

    (Picking up where we last left off)

    Nola: (fighting the tears) My baby boy.

    Nola hugs J tightly. Nola then pulls back from him.

    Nola: What made you come home? Are you two in trouble?

    J: Here we go...

    Tom: Aunt Nola, what makes you think that we are in trouble? We just came to spend time with you guys.

    Nola: Oh really? Get over here you.

    Tom walks over and hugs Nola. Meanwhile, J hugs Matt and Quint. But the hug between Quint and J is quite awkward. Vanessa notices this.

    Nola: So where are Annabelle and Tony? Are they outside parking the car?

    Tom: Uh no. (takes of his jacket) They decided to join Uncle Jim, Bridget, Sean, Chelsea, and Lana in Atlanta with Grandma Bea.

    Quint: How nice. You did send our regards to Bea did you, Nola?

    Nola mouth drops as she has forgotten to do so.

    Nola: Oops. I knew I forgot to do that. Excuse me.

    Nola scurries off into the kitchen.

    Tom: So where is everyone?

    Vanessa: Well Bill is spending Thanksgiving with his in-laws, and Dinah should be over shortly.

    Tom: Good. I haven't seen everyone in years. Feels so good to be back in Springfield. The last time I was here was--

    Vanessa: (sadly) When Maureen died.

    Tom: Yeah... (lively) But things have changed now. And what matters is that we are all here together. So where is the food?

    Matt: I still see you have that appetite you did as child, huh?

    Tom: Of course. C'mon. Let's get you seated.

    Tom wraps his arms around Matt and Maureen's shoulder as they descend into the living room. Vanessa, Quint, and J stand in silence, quite tense to be exact.

    Vanessa: So... umm... you know what -- I -- think I left a pie in the kitchen.

    Vanessa runs off into the kitchen. Quint forces on a smile as he looks at J.

    J: OK, Dad, give me your best shot.

    Quint: What are you talking about?

    J: You are bothered by something?

    Quint: No I'm not. Just surprised to see you that's all.

    J: Sure. Keep telling yourself that.

    J walks off leaving Quint leery.

    INT. CROSS CREEK - DAY - DINING ROOM

    Everyone sits at the table watching on as Rusty and Carol canoodle. Josh leans in close to Reva whispering,

    Josh: This is unexpected. I haven't seen Rusty this happy since he was married to Rose.

    Reva: You're preaching to the choir. I just would like to know when Rusty was going to plan on telling us about her.

    Shayne clears his throat gaining everyone's attention.

    Shayne: So Carol, how did you and Uncle Rusty meet?

    Reva: Shayne!

    Marah: (punching him in the arm, overlapping) Idiot!

    Rusty: It's no problem.

    Reva: But its rude of him.

    Reva shoots a look at Shayne. Shayne shrugs his shoulder in confusion.

    Carol: We met in Tulsa. He was on duty and I ran a red light. He stopped me and tried to give me a ticket, but I managed to talk him out of it. Luckily it worked, and instead I ended up with his number.

    Reva: How nice...

    Izzy: Like when are we going to eat already? My stomach is about to cave in.

    Carol: Izzy!

    Izzy: No, Mom! I don't wanna hear it.

    The sound of a door closes in the background.

    Daisy: (O.C) Grandma!

    Reva: Oh that must be Daisy with the eggs. Excuse me everyone.

    Hawk: Excuse me too. I need to refill my wine glass.

    Hawk gets up from the table following Reva, carrying his glass.

    KITCHEN

    Reva and Hawk enter as Daisy hands Reva a bag with eggs.

    Reva: Hi, honey.

    Reva kisses Daisy on the head.

    Daisy: Hey. Oh, Trista is going to join us. Do you mind?

    Reva: Of course not. (to Trista) We are glad to have you.

    Trista: Thanks. I'm glad to be here.

    Daisy: Is everyone here?

    Reva: (in the fridge) Nope. We are waiting on Cassie and RJ, but your Dad is in there.

    Daisy: He is?

    Reva: Yep.

    Daisy: Well excuse me why I say hello to him. I'll be back Trista, OK?

    Trista: Take your time.

    Daisy exits.

    Reva: So Trista, how has life in Springfield been?

    Trista: Good. I miss life in Atlanta but I'm settling.

    Reva: That's good.

    Daisy (O.C) Trista, come in here and meet my Dad.

    Trista: Coming! (to Reva) Excuse me, Mrs. O'Neill.

    Reva: No problem. And call me Reva.

    Trista: Yes ma'am.

    Trista hops off the stool and exits. Her locket falls out her back pocket, unnoticed.

    Reva: Such a nice girl. I know her mother must be missing her.

    Hawk: (struggling opening the wine bottle) She must. Reminds me of all the time your Mother use to fret about you not being home from the holiday when you first came to Springfield.

    Reva: Oh, Pa...

    Reva grabs her pumpkin pie off the counter and heads for the door when she noticed a locket on the floor. She picks it up and examines it closely.

    Reva: Who is this?

    Hawk: (still struggling with the bottle) Must be the young lady's.

    Reva: Must be. (notices the photo inside the locket) Nice couple. If I would've known better that man in the picture looks like our Rusty.

    Hawk: Yeah, yeah, Sister.

    Reva: I mean doesn't it?

    Reva hand Hawk the locket. Hawk put down the bottle and looks at the photo. His eyes widen in shock.

    Hawk: That is Rusty!

    Reva: No way! (snatches the locket back) It can't be.

    Hawk: I know my boy. And looks like it was taken back in the early 90s. I remember that hideous hairdo of Rusty's anywhere.

    Reva: But why would Trista have a photo with Rusty inside?

    Hawk: Beats me.

    Reva: Hmmm...

    Trista studies three outfits that she had lied out on the bed. Daisy eases into the room. Trista turns around acknowledging her.

    Trista: Hey you. Where have you been?

    Daisy: I had to run to the store and grabs some items for my Grandma Reva. I just came by to change before I headed over there.

    Trista: But I thought you were eating at the Coopers -- I mean your Mom's house?

    Daisy: I was but I changed my mind. I might just come over there later on.

    Trista: (whining) Why? I wanted you to come with me.

    Daisy: For what? Rocky's going to be there. And my family practically loves you. My Grandpa Buzz can't stop talking about how your studious ways have rubbed off on Rocky.

    Trista: So what. I still want you come. We barely even hang out. You are always with James...

    Daisy: ...and you are always working at Company.

    Trista: See. More reason for you come with me.

    Daisy: Trista...

    Trista: Daisy, come on. It's not like I am holding a gun to your head. I am just simply asking you to come to the Coopers with me.

    Daisy: But I can't. I already told Grandma Reva I was coming.

    Trista: Ugh...

    Trista tosses her hands up in defeat. Her computer bleeps as she receives an e-mail.

    Trista: I'm not giving up, Lemay. Hold that thought.

    Trista heads over to the computer and checks her mail. Meanwhile, Daisy glances over Trista's outfits lied out on her bed.

    Daisy: The blue sweater top.

    Trista: (still typing) What?

    Daisy: The blue sweater top. With the black slacks and black platform boots. Wear that.

    Trista: Thanks. I was leaning towards that outfit.

    Daisy: Glad you were because you are going to wear with me to dinner.

    Trista snaps her head back at Daisy, thrilled.

    Trista: You are going to the Coopers?

    Daisy: Nope.

    Trista drops the smile back into a frown.

    Daisy: You are going with me to the Shaynes.

    Trista: Wait, wait... what? I can't. What about--

    Daisy: Rocky, will understand. As a matter of fact, we'll do both. Go to my Grandmother's first and then hit up my Mom's. Problem solved.

    Trista: You sure -- that Rocky's feelings won't be hurt?

    Daisy: Positive. Leave it to me.

    Daisy whips out her phone and starts to dial.

    INT. HARLEY'S LIVING ROOM

    Rocky, Frank, Jude, and Zach sit in rapt attention the couch watching the game. The phone starts to ring.

    Harley: (O.C.) Somebody get it!

    Rocky: (in a daze) Frank, you get it.

    Frank: No way. They are about to start the play. Whoever is calling will call back. I'm sure its not that important.

    The phone rings again.

    Harley: (O.C.) Frank! Rocky! Get the phone! We're trying to set up in here! Geez.

    Rocky unwillingly gets up and answers the phone.

    Rocky: Hello.

    Daisy: Hey to you too, Rocky.

    Rocky: Oh, Daisy, sorry.

    Daisy: Let me guess... the game is on?

    Rocky: Yeah. (turns his attention back to the TV) I just don't wanna miss a play...

    Daisy: Then I'll cut it short. Trista is coming with me Shaynes. We'll be over there later on, got it?

    Rocky: (still watching TV) Yeah. What you said, Daisy.

    Daisy hangs up the phone.

    CUT TO


    EXT. PATIO - DAY





    Vanessa and Nola set the table while in the foreground, Quinton and Matt share a cigar.

    Matt: Nice day, Quint, huh?

    Quint: It is. Nice breeze. Something you can't expect to get on an archeological dig in Afghanistan, and something I missed greatly about being in Springfield.

    Matt: Glad to have you back.

    Matt raised up his wine glass.

    Quint: Glad to be back.

    Quint and Matt toast, but this happy moment is ruined by:

    Nola: (O.C.) I like it there, Vanessa!

    Vanessa: (O.C.) Whose house is this?

    Matt & Quint: Dear God.

    They turn to see Nola and Vanessa facing off.

    Nola: This house belongs to the family. Nowhere in the will did Henry state, "This house belongs to Vanessa and Vanessa only."

    Vanessa: But who has been living in it? Taking care of it?

    Nola: That was then. This is now.

    Vanessa: And now I am going to rearrange this silverware to the way I like it!

    Vanessa rearranges one of the utensil settings.

    ON MATT AND QUINT

    Matt: I see its about to get nasty. Should we go and break them up?

    Quint: No, NO... Just let them fight it out with its still fresh.

    BACK TO VANESSA AND NOLA

    Nola: What are you doing?!

    Vanessa: Everyone knows that this spoon and this fork are not positioned next to each other, Nola.

    Nola: Like I could give a damn. If it was up to me, we'd all be using one fork and spoon.

    Vanessa: (gasps) How barbaric!

    Nola: How normal. How frugal. How--

    Maureen joins them on the patio, upset and bothered.

    Maureen: Mom, I cannot believe that you won't let me go and eat with Clarissa. It's so not fair!

    Vanessa: Maureen, don't start with me. You still know that you're grounded for piercing those ears.

    Maureen: Mom, I'm almost a teenager!

    Vanessa: So what. You know the rules.

    Nola: Frankly, I don't see the issue with her having her ears pierced. Anastasia had hers did when she was two.

    Vanessa shoots a piercing look at Nola.

    Maureen: See! Cousin Stacey had them done when she was two! Emma had her done when she was four -- Clarissa when she was six!

    Vanessa: Don't start with me, Maureen. (to Nola) And no one asked for your opinion.

    Nola: I know. But I just love to interject. (hugging Maureen) Plus, my niece is right. She should have her ears pierced. And my God, its not like she went and out got a boob job...

    Vanessa gasps.

    Nola: ...or did drug. Or drank alcohol.

    Vanessa clutches her chest in utter shock.

    Nola: She just got her ears pierced.

    Maureen: (hugging Nola tighter) I love you, Aunt Nola. Sometimes I wish I was your daughter.

    Nola: Aww, kiddo.

    The doorbell rings.

    Vanessa: Maureen, go and answer the door! Nola, shut up! Matt and Quint, get over here! ITS TIME TO EAT.

    Maureen scurries off into the

    STUDY

    and then crosses into the

    FOYER





    where she opens the door to find two large boxes masking two men faces.

    Maureen: Umm... can I help you guys?

    J: I don't know can you, bumblebee?

    Maureen's face light up.

    Maureen: Cousin J!

    J removes his box to show his handsome face.

    Tom: And don't for get about me, squirt!

    Maureen: Tom?!

    Tom removes his box from his face. Maureen joyously screams at the sight of her cousins.

    Maureen: MOM!!!

    Vanessa: (O.C.) What are you in here--

    Vanessa enters the foyer where she sees Tom and Anthony J.

    Vanessa: Anthony? Thomas?

    J: Hey, Aunt Vanessa. Long time, no see.

    Vanessa runs over to hug both Thomas and J.

    Vanessa: What are you two doing here? Your mother said that you were--

    Nola: (O.C.) (Voice coming closer) Now what is all this ruckus in--

    Nola freezes in place at the sight of her son. She speechless... for once. Tears start to stream down her face. Quint and Matt slowly come up behind Nola.

    Nola: Anthony James...

    J: Happy Thanksgiving, Mom.

    INT. SPAULDING MANOR - DAY - DINING ROOM
    (Picking up where we last left off)

    Alan: What is going on? Why are you two looking like deers in headlights?

    AM: N--No reason.

    Alan: OK... As soon as you two get over whatever has come over you both, come in the parlor and join us for a drink.

    Hope: Will do, Alan -- I mean Mr. Spaulding.

    Alan, still weary, walks out the room.

    AM: How could--

    Hope grabs him by the arm and drags him into the

    KITCHEN

    where she looks around to see if anyone is present. No one is.

    Hope: Baby--

    Alan Michael: No! Don't even try it! Don't even try to justify what you did. Do you know how much we have mourned you?

    Hope: Alan Michael--

    AM: And to think you have been here the entire time... THE ENTIRE TIME!!

    Hope: Sssh! Calm down.

    AM: Oh please. If I ever do anything right in my life, now is the time. I should go into the parlor and tell Dad--

    Hope: You can't!

    AM: Why is that?

    Hope: You just can't... and I know you wouldn't.

    AM: Don't be so sure about that, Mom -- or Caroline?

    Hope swiftly slaps Alan Michael across the face. Alan Michael rubs his face in pain.

    Hope: Now don't you go starting to back talk me boy! I'm still your mother and you will respect me.

    AM: Yes, Ma'am.

    Hope: Now I am sorry but I figured that me returning would do you more harm than good.

    AM rolls his eyes.

    Hope: You may not believe me now but you will. Do you think if I was Hope that I could help you? I think not. Being Caroline was a way for me to help you.

    AM: And you did. But MY MOTHER would've been more help.

    Hope: I understand that.

    Phillip (OC): Caroline! Alan Michael!

    Hope: Keep quiet.

    Phillip enters in the kitchen with two wine glasses.

    Phillip: Aren't you two gonna join us?

    Phillip hands both of them a glass.

    Hope: Sure. In a second...

    Phillip: OK.

    Phillip exits. Hope is about to take a sip when Alan Michael takes the glass from Hope.

    Hope: What was that for?

    AM: Alcohol, remember? You're an alcoholic.

    Hope: I know that.

    AM: You act as if you've seem to have forgotten.

    Hope: Well I didn't.

    AM: Mmm hmm... whatever.

    Hope: I didn't. Now that we are going to go out there and act like nothing ever happened. OK?

    AM: Sure. Whatever you want... Caroline.

    Alan Michael storms out. And on Caroline, sighing

    INT. SPRINGFIELD UNIVERSITY DORMS - DAY - TRISTA & DAISY

    Trista sits at her desk blasting music while typing up her article. Sitting on the floor next to her is a huge mail sack of letter. Trista occasionally reaches down and grabs an envelope.

    KNOCK! KNOCK! Trista takes off the headphones and opens the door, revealing James Spaulding. The sight of James just irritates her.

    Trista: Now what?

    James: (peeking past her) I was just seeing if you were--

    Trista: Doing the job? Well I am. Unlike you, I complete all my tasks regardless how much I loathe them... and the person that gave them to me.

    James: Come on. Loathe? That's a tad bit too strong.

    Trista: With you? I don't think so. Quite justified if you think about it. But then again I'm sure you don't have think when you're loaded. Someone is bound to do it for you, or you can just buy your way out of it.

    James: Ouch. Good one. I give you that.

    Trista: No I earned it. The only thing you give me is DAMN migraine.

    James laughs. Trista fumes even more.

    Trista: Look, can you leave? I'm trying to finish in time so I can join Rocky and his family for Thanksgiving.

    James: The Coopers?

    Trista: Duh.

    Trista starts to close the door when James pushes his way inside the room.

    Trista: Listen, moron, if you did not know before, boys are not allowed in the girls room after 5 PM.

    James: I just wanna see how you are doing.

    Trista starts to push James out the room.

    Trista: You'll see it when I am done. Until then stay the hell out of my room and my way.

    James: But--

    Trista: Goodbye!!

    Trista slams the door in James face.

    Trista: Dumb ass...

    She locks the door and then goes back to her computer, resuming her work.

    Harley moves rampant through the kitchen opening and closing drawers.

    Harley: Where is it? Where is it?

    Frank watches on as Harley continues to move in a panic.

    Frank: What are you doing?

    Harley: Looking for the paddle attachments for the mixer. I need to make a cake.

    Franks frowns.

    Frank: A cake? You're... making the cake?

    Harley: Of course.

    Frank: But I don't that its necessary. I mean Dad is suppose to be bringing a few cakes over -- I mean there is no need for you to make one too.

    Harley: Frank, what are you saying?

    Frank: Nothing.

    Harley: You are. I can read between the lines. You are indicating that I cannot cook.

    Frank: Come on! I never said that.

    Harley: But that is what you are doing. I have you know that I can make a good chocolate cake dammit!

    Frank: That you can. I always said you can put your mind to anything you want too, but... cooking is not one of them.

    Harley grabs the oven mitt off the counter and tosses it at Frank.

    Harley: Get out! Get out now!

    Frank laughs and head back down the hallway.

    INT. MEL'S BEDROOM - DAY

    Mel lies in fetal position amongst the darkness. She is still -- emotionless. Meanwhile, Leah bangs on the door repeatedly.

    Leah: Mom! I know you are in there. Let me in. Please. Come on...

    Leah breaks down and props her head on the door.

    Leah: Mom, please... I'm so, so sorry...

    The doorbell then rings. Leah staggers down the stairs to the door. She opens it and reveals Remy, Clayton, Christina, and Felicia.

    Leah: (wiping away the tears) Grandma and Grandpa? Uncle Remy? Christina? What are you all doing here?

    Felicia: We came to see how you and your mother is doing.

    Leah: I'm fine. It's Mom I'm worried about.

    Felicia: How is she?

    Leah: Still locked in the room. She won't come out. She hasn't eaten for days. I'm worried.

    Christina: Poor Mel...

    Clayton kisses Leah on the forehead and then continues past her up the stairs.

    Felicia: Clayton? What are you doing?

    Clayton: Saving our daughter. That is what I am doing.

    Felicia: Clayton--

    Clayton: No, Felicia. She is a Boudreau. She needs to get it together and now!

    Felicia: Clayton! She just lost someone dear to her!

    Remy: Yeah. A criminal. She shouldn't be surprised it ended like this.

    Christina: Remy!!

    Christina socks him in the arm.

    Remy: Well it's the truth.

    Felicia: You better not go up there, Clayton, acting like a fool.

    Clayton: I don't wanna hear it.

    Clayton continues up the stairs while Felicia still calls out:

    Felicia: Clayton! Clayton! Dammit, Clayton! (to Remy) Go and stop him.

    Remy: Mom--

    Felicia: NOW!!

    Remy is does as he is told and runs up the stairs. He makes his way down the end of the hallway where he spots Clayton beating on the door.

    Clayton: Mel, this is your father! I want you to open this door at once!

    No answer.

    Clayton: Mel! Open this door now!

    Now answer.

    Remy: Dad, enough. Come on.

    Clayton: No. I am not going anywhere. I am the father and I want this door opened now...

    Remy: Dad, maybe she wants to be left alone.

    Clayton: Remy, when you have children then you can tell them what to do. Till then, buzz off. (to Mel) I WILL BREAK THIS DOOR DOWN, MEL IF YOU DON'T OPEN IT NOW!

    Remy clutches his lips together, holding back his words. Footsteps are then heard coming up the stairs. It's Harley and Blake.

    Harley: Clayton, maybe we can help.

    Clayton: I doubt that I am her father.

    Felicia: (O.C) Clayton, get down here now and let Harley and Blake speak with her! NOW!

    Clayton: Fine. I'm going to give you ten minutes to talk to her and if she does not open that door by then I'm going to come up and burst the door down. Got it?

    Blake: Ten minutes then.

    Clayton and Remy descend down the stairs.

    Blake gently knocks on the door.

    Blake: Mel... Please come and open the door.

    Harley: Watch out.

    Blake: What?

    Harley slides Blake out the way and pulls a card out of her pocket. She slides the card into the latch and the open slowly opens to reveal Mel still lying on the bed in a daze.

    Blake: Oh God.

    Harley and Blake enter the room. Harley gently closes the door behind her. The two then join Mel on the bed.

    Blake reaches out to touch Mel and then stops, second guessing herself. But this is her friend. Blake starts to stroke her hair.

    Blake: Mel, I understand what you are going through. I really do.

    Harley: (grabbing Mel's hand) Me too.

    Blake: And we aren't going anywhere until you talk to us.

    Harley: And you know when Blake says something she means it.

    Blake and Harley chortle until they notice Mel isn't reciprocating.

    Blake: Remember when I lost Ross and I shut myself off. You bugged me until I came around. You felt so guilty because Rick was your husband and you had part of the blame. I cherished every day you came to sit me.

    Harley: And you did the same with me when Gus died.

    Tears stream down Mel's face as she tries to fight them.

    Harley: I may not have approved of you and Cyrus being that he and I parted ways badly but I never questioned his love for you and vice versa.

    Blake: I guess we all assumed that he was just using you.

    Mel: He was... He kept Grady being alive from me.

    Harley: And I agree. Him keeping that from all of us was wrong, but their bond was always so strong. Mel, you knew that.

    Mel: I did. I just don't get how he could not have trusted me with, Grady. I mean we could've taken legal actions to get him off. And now Grady is gone not be found while Cyrus is lying in the ground dead. STUPID BASTARD!

    Harley and Blake tear up at the pain coming from Mel.

    Mel: I never knew that losing something would be so HARD. I thought when Rick and I separated was hard but this so hard! I still see Rick. I will NEVER see Cyrus again.

    Blake: Don't say that. There is always--

    Mel: The afterlife. I know, I know. But that could be years from now. And whose to say I'll even see him then.

    Harley: Then you should keep faith alive that you will.

    Mel: I can't do this. I can't do this! How am I suppose to worry about Leah and this baby?! How?!

    Harley and Blake are stunned.

    Blake: ...Baby?

    Mel: (laughing through her tears) Open the top drawer, Harley.

    Harley opens the drawer and pulls out a pregnancy test. Harley glances at it and smiles.

    Harley: You're pregnant?

    Mel: Yep.

    Blake: Oh my God!! Oh we so have start planning for this baby!

    Harley: I know! The shower, paints and stencils for the room...

    Mel: I'm not going have it.

    Blake and Harley: WHAT?

    Mel: I said I am not going to have it. I'm getting an abortion. No need in bringing this child into the world only to suffer. The father is dead, and he father was looked down upon, I cannot put a baby through this.

    Blake: Mel!

    Mel: No, Blake! I don't have time. Plus I have Leah's accessory charge to worry about -- I don't have time for a baby. I don't.

    Harley: And have you asked the rest of your family how they feel?

    Mel: No. They'll never know. You guys are the only ones who are going to know also.

    Harley: Mel, that is not right.

    Mel: So what. It's my baby, my body. I'll do whatever the hell I want. And you two are going to keep quiet out of respect. Got it?

    Suddenly Leah peeks her head into the room.

    Leah: Mom... is it OK to come in?

    Mel: Yeah. (wipes tears) Tell everyone to come on in.

    Everyone comes in one by one. Mel gets up and hugs her family members. She shoot a look of warning at Harley and Blake.

    And on Harley and Blake feeling guilty,

    EXT. TERRACE

    Rocky stands alone drinking punch as Kevin and Trista come off the dance floor sharing a laugh.

    Trista: That was great! And you had the never to say you couldn't dance.

    Kevin: But I can't.

    Trista: You were fine.

    Rocky: You looked fine to me too.

    Kevin: Thanks, man. I really enjoyed myself.

    Rocky: Only the best for my best friend.

    Rocky turns away looking off into the night.

    Trista: You're not mad are you?

    Rocky: (turning back) Me? No.

    Trista: Something is bothering you. What is it now?

    Rocky: Spaulding boy.

    Both Trista and Kevin toss their arms up in defeat.

    Rocky: What?

    Kevin: Dude, you have to get over James and Daisy being with each other.

    Rocky: This coming from the guy who happens to like Daisy.

    Kevin blushes in embarrassment.

    Trista: If James is bothering you so much then do something about it. Punch him. Sock him.

    Kevin: Trista!

    Trista: What? I don't care. He ticked me off when he demoted me to the advice column. Hmph. Just jealous because he knows that I AM a better writer than he is.

    Kevin: (sadly) At least you're happy with what you're doing.

    Rocky: What is that suppose to mean?

    Kevin: Nothing. Just act like you never heard it.

    Kevin starts to walk inside. Trista gestures Rocky to stop his friends. Rocky dismisses her plea until Trista grabs him by the arm, swinging him up to Kevin.

    Rocky: Come on. Tell what is wrong.

    Kevin: I'm surprised you can't tell what my problem is.

    Trista: If it is about Daisy--

    Kevin: It's not Daisy! It's me! I'm not happy. You guys constantly brag about how fun you are having in college while I am not.

    Trista and Kevin are puzzled by Kevin's confession. Rocky goes to interject when,

    Kevin: I hate my major! I don't wanna be a lawyer. But you know what, I have to be! Why?! Because my mom want me and Jason to be just like my dad. A lawyer. And I hate it. I just hate it! I can never be as passionate about the law as my dad was. Jason, yes. Me, no. I hate law.

    Trista: Then change your major. It's not that hard. People do it all the time. It's part of the college. (laughing) Hell after James demoted me, I might consider changing my major to get away from him.

    Kevin: (irate) It's not the same!

    Trista: I apologize then.

    Kevin: Don't.

    Rocky: Then what is it that you wanna do? What do you wanna be? What major has your passion?

    Kevin: You can't tell?!

    Trista finally gets it as she closely examines Kevin's costume while Rocky is still clueless.

    Rocky: I don't?

    Trista: (overlapping, murmur) A doctor. That's it.

    Rocky: What?

    Trista: A doctor. That is why you were looking the med lab that day I found you. The longing look you had in your face.

    Kevin nods his head.

    Trista: So you wanna be a healer? That's great! Kevin, you should totally do it!

    Kevin: It's not so easy when you have a mother like mine.

    Kevin, tired of it all, drops his face into his hands.

    India stands in the mirror fixing her hair when the door gently opens and in comes Alex. An ominous grins is all of a sudden wiped upon India's face.

    India: Why hello, Stepmother dearest.

    Alex: What do you want, India?

    India: Nothing. Can't a girl just say hello to her favorite stepmother?

    Alex: I'm your only stepmother. Get to the point.

    India: Why do you always assume that here is ploy when it comes to me?

    Alex: Because there is. India--

    India: Look, Alex, I'm just being cordial. That is all.

    Alex is doubtful of this and just plays along.

    India: Can't we just get along? For once?

    Alex: Why? India, back then I had no choice to put up with you due to Leo but now--

    India: You have no choice because we have to work together.

    Alex: Work together?

    India: Why yes. Did you not hear?

    Alex: Hear what?

    India: Alan gave me a job at Spaulding.

    Alex: HE DID WHAT?!

    India: Yes. He put me in charge of public relations. He said that I had that "special thing" that will bring publicity to this company.

    Alex paces back and forth, livid by this.

    India: Mommy, dear... you have no choice. I'm not going anywhere. See you at work.

    India closes her clutch purse and walks out the bathroom, very pleased.

    Alex: DAMMIT ALAN!!!

    Paramedic #1: How is he, Dr. Bauer?

    Ed: Still faint.

    Paramedics 2 & 3 lift Phillip up and places him on the gurney. A full life face mask is placed on Phillip's face. The paramedics lead Phillip out with the Spaulding/Raines clan (minus Alan) not to far behind.

    Meanwhile, Leah stands off alone, spirit destroyed. Ed takes notices and gently places a hand on her shoulder.

    Ed: Leah...

    Leah: Give it to me.

    Ed: Give you what?

    Leah turns to face Ed with tears in her eyes.

    Leah: Chew me out. Come on. Give me what you got. Hell everyone else is.

    Ed: I didn't come over here to kick when you're down.

    Leah: You might as well. Everyone else is bound too sooner or later. I -- I just can't believe that I was so stupid to fall for it.

    Ed: People make mistakes all the time.

    Leah: Not in assisting a maniac.

    Ed: Come here, pumpkin.

    Ed opens his arms and Leah falls into them, sobbing.

    Leah: He tricked me. He tricked me...


    CUT TO


    INT. BATHROOM STALL

    Alan stands in the stall with a phone to his ear.

    Alan: No, no, no. I need this to go down. I want them dead. You hear me? Nothing less...I DON'T GIVE A DAMN HOW YOU KILL THEM! JUST GET THE JOB DONE!

    Alan ends the call. He is consumed with rage.



    CUT TO




    EXT. MAIN STREET - NIGHT

    Grady charges down empty, open street. Cyrus is not too far behind.

    Cyrus: Grady! Grady, stop!

    Grady: Sorry bro, I can't.

    Cyrus: Grady!

    A round of loud shots ricochet into the night air and Cyrus falls to the ground. Grady turns around to see the flashing lights from a group of cop cars.

    Grady: Cyrus!

    Cyrus breathes his last breath and goes cold.

    Grady: (crying) Cyrus! Cyrus!

    A couple of more rounds go off.

    Grady kneels down quickly and kisses his brother on the head and then fades into the night never to be heard from again...

  21. NothinButAttitude
    INT. BEACON HOTEL - NIGHT

    We pick up where we last left off with Phillip consuming the drink. Grady watches on eagerly anticipating the outcome. As Phillip downs the last drop, he falls for the floor, convulsing. Then motionless. Beth lets out a loud scream.

    Beth: Phillip!

    The sight of Phillip sends the crowd into a frenzy.

    Beth kneels down next to Phillip and feels his pulse. It's faint.

    Beth: Mother! Rick! Someone help him.

    Rick and Lillian join Beth next to Phillip. Lillian starts to perform CPR on Phillip while Rick takes a whiff of the glass. Ed emerges from the crowd with his doctor bag in tow.

    Ed: (to Lillian) How is his pulse?

    Lillian: Faint. I've never seen anything like this before.

    Alan watches on numb and destroyed.

    Ed: What happened?

    Beth: I -- I don't know. He was just fighting with Cyrus and then I gave him a drink and he passed out.

    Leah slowly moves over towards Grady.

    Leah: (whispering) What is going on?

    Grady pulls out a little bottle and tosses it to Leah. The bottle reads: THALLIUM.

    Alex: What is wrong with Phillip? Ed, what is wrong with my nephew?

    Alan Michael kneels next to Ed, who is now performing CPR.

    A-M: You need me to do anything?

    Ed: Just keep everyone far back. (to Lillian) How far is the ambulance?

    Lillian: (holding the cell to her ear) They say about two minutes. Hang on, Phillip!

    Alan: (to Ed) You better make sure my son doesn't die or its your head...

    A-M: You need to stop with the threats. He's trying to save Phillip. Now get back.

    Alan: Damn you--

    Alan grabs Alan Michael by the shirt, shaking him.

    Alan: Don't you tell me what to do! I'm your father! You will respect me you little bastard!

    Alex: Enough! Alan, let him go!

    Suddenly, a loud gunshot is heard. Everyone's attention is turned to Grady, now holding a gun.

    Grady: Everyone shut the h*&^ up! Now!

    Rick: Leah, what is your date Erik doing?

    Leah doesn't respond. Grady then rips the mask off to reveal himself.

    Grady: The name is Grady, Doogie Howser.

    Gasps are heard throughout the audience.

    Daisy: Grady!

    Grady: Hello sweetness. Miss me much? But then again, I doubt that. You've been dancing with pretty boy over there.

    Lizzie: But you are -- you're suppose to be--

    Grady: Dead? Sorry, honey. Daddy's plan failed again. But he did give me this.

    Grady pulls his hair up to reveal the grizzly scar.

    James: He's the one that handed me the drink.

    Rick: Leah, what is going on?

    Grady: Payback.

    Alan tries to go for Grady but Grady points the gun at him.

    Grady: Wait a second there, Gramps. I won't hesitate to shoot you of all people. (to Harley and Frank) And you two, get over there with Phillip. I wanna keep an eye on you.

    Frank and Harley eases over near Phillip.

    Frank: Grady, you don't wanna do this.

    Grady: Oh shut up! Don't try that cop talk with me. It ain't gonna work. Plus why would I listen to you? You hated me.

    Cassie: He had good reason.

    Grady: Screw you.

    Daisy: Why? Why, Grady?

    Grady: Why? (losing it) WHY?! That bastard tried to kill me by tossing me over the cliff. That is why. When he found out that I was the one who kidnapped Lizzie, he tossed me over a damn cliff. One thing about it is that he should've been smart and came to check and see if I was dead. But he didn't. Sucks for him though. That thallium I put in his drink if going to kill him for sure.

    Ed: Thallium? Dear God. Where is the ambulance? We need them now. We don't have that much time.

    Rick: You're sick!

    Leah: No he is not! He's did the right thing... and I am glad I helped.

    Rick is shell-shocked. Meanwhile, Mel and Cyrus reenter the room as she holds a cloth to his face, wiping the blood from his mouth.

    Leah: I'd do it again.

    Rick looks at Mel and Cyrus as well.

    Rick: Let me guess, you were in this also?

    Mel: What are you talking about?

    Grady turns around and waves at Mel.

    Mel: Grady?

    Grady: Hello, Mel. Longtime no see -- well for you. But I've been seeing much of you. Thanks for letting me crash at your pad. Well then again you never knew that. So maybe I should thank my brother. Thank you, Cyrus.

    Mel looks at Cyrus for an answer. Cyrus looks away not wanting to look at her, as if he is embarrassed.

    Mel: Cyrus...?

    Remy: I knew it! I knew it! I knew he was up to no good!

    Lizzie: Leah, how could you? My father is your Godfather...

    Leah: (laughs) Godfather? Some Godfather he is then. Especially when he blew my life to hell. My parents had the perfect marriage until this bozo ruined it, and persuaded my idiotic father into helping him escape the country. HE RUINED MY FAMILY! (to Rick) WHY DID YOU HAVE TO HELP HIM?!

    Rick is heartbroken at his plea.

    Kevin: Leah, I -- I can sympathize with you too. He ruined my family too. But you didn't have to do this. I mean revenge isn't the way to go about it.

    Leah: Revenge is the way to go about it. Grady did us all a favor. He killed one part of the evil that hovers over this town. Phillip Spaulding brought hell to us all when he went on that rampage and yet everyone is so easy to sweep it under the rug like its nothing -- nothing at all!

    The sirens grow louder as the come closer.

    Grady: Sorry to have to cut this short but we have places to be, people to meet. So sianara, Springfield.

    Grady grabs Leah by the hand.

    Grady: Ready darling?

    Leah: (a beat to ponder, then) Yes. More than ever.

    Rick: LEAH!

    Mel: You are going nowhere with him!

    Mel breaks the two hands apart. Grady aims the gun at Mel.

    Grady: There ain't no stoppin' us woman. Now I would hate to have to shoot you, Mel. Now move...

    Mel stands in place for a sec and then willingly moves out the way.

    Mel: You can go... but alone. Not with my daughter!

    Leah: Mother, I am grown!

    Mel: I don't give a damn! You aren't going with him.

    Leah: Oh yes I am!

    Mel: No the hell you are not! Girl, I made you and I can break you.

    Leah throws a fit and smacks the punch bowl off the table. It shatters on the floor.

    Leah: Mom, why are you doing this me? I have to go. I am in too deep now.

    Mel: No you are not! He preyed on you. Don't you see that?

    Leah looks at her mother for an answer and then Grady.

    Leah: Not true, right?

    Grady and Leah stare into each others eyes for a period. He then leans over and kisses her on the head.

    Grady: Goodbye, partner.

    Grady flees out the building.

    Cyrus: Grady! Grady!

    Cyrus runs after him.

    Mel: Cyrus!

    Leah: (tearing up) He used me... He used me...

    AND on Leah distraught,



    FADE OUT


    COMING UP ON TGL: THE FINAL HALF:

    - Alan calls in a favor with some shady cops
    - One of the brothers dies via firing squad
    - The other one goes on the run



  22. NothinButAttitude
    INT. BALCONY

    Driven with anger, Alex drags Alan behind her up the stairs. Alan finally breaks away when they reach the balcony.

    Alan: What now?

    Alex: India?! India?! Of all people you put in charge of public relations, you put India in charge!

    Alan is enthusiastic and pleased by Alex's rage. Sort of as if he is high off it.

    Alan: Of course. Who better than India to do public relations?

    Alex: HAVE YOU LOST YOUR DAMN MIND?

    Alan: Now, Sis--

    Alex: Oh don't try too butter me up -- not now! You have revived a monster. And the sad part about is that you never consulted me! I thought we promised that we were going to run Spaulding as a team!

    Alan: Alex--

    Alex: Oh why am I surprised? Why? I mean this is you who I am dealing with -- not someone logical. More tyrannical is what you are. What about Phillip? Have you consulted him?

    Alan: No. This why my decision to better the company. Spaulding Enterprise is suffering dearly and what better way to rejuvenate than by having someone like India helping us.

    Alex: Oh please. That woman is going to drive us into the ground with her incompetence and arrogance.

    Alan: You're being bias.

    Alex: Damn right I am. I can be biased when it comes to India. I know that girl from inside out. She is no good.

    Alan: Deal with it. India is here to stay. She already signed the contract.

    Alex: Then we'll break it.

    Alan: And she'll be able to get a hefty settlement out of this.

    Alex: Good for her. I am glad she'll be happy with that. I'll go give her the good news.

    Alex starts to walk off, but Alan grabs her by the arm stopping her.

    Alan: I'm not going to let you fire India due your prejudice towards her.

    Alex: Alan, stop! This coming from a man who've done every dirty deed there is in the business world trying to teach me morality?

    Alan: She is staying.

    Alex: Fine. But I'll just stage a board meeting to have her removed.

    Alan: And you'll be opening up a can of worms.

    Alex: Good!

    Alex storms off.

    CUT TO

    DAISY

    where she stands next to the punch table. Leah and "Erik" (Grady) approach the table.

    Daisy: Hey Leah. Nice costume.

    Leah: Thanks. Yours is nice too.

    Daisy: And who is the date?

    Leah becomes anxious.

    Leah: Umm -- he --

    Grady: (southern accent) I'm Erik.

    Grady grabs her hand and gently kisses it.

    Daisy: Nice to meet you, Erik.

    Daisy is impressed by him. Leah manages to ease up.

    Erik: Shall we dance, Leah?

    Leah: Yeah.

    Leah nods to Daisy and takes Grady to the dance floor. Daisy watches on smiling for beat until she notices something weird about "Erik." His walk, too familiar to her.

    Daisy: If I did not know any better... (dismissing it) No. It can't be. It just can't be...

    CUT TO

    BACK ON THE TERRACE

    Trista stands alone away from the boys. She is a bit unnerved. The boys look at her in worry.

    Kevin: Your secret?

    Trista: I don't know how to say this, but... my father. He is the reason I came to Springfield.

    Kevin: Your father is in Springfield? I thought your father was dead?

    Trista: I lied.

    Rocky: Do we know him?

    Trista: Indeed.

    Kevin: OK. Well who is he?

    Trista: Rusty Shayne.

    Kevin & Rocky: RUSTY SHAYNE?!

    Trista: Yep.

    Rocky: Wow.

    Trista: That is why I came to Springfield. To find my father -- well his family. I knew he was in Tulsa. But I know that majority of my family is here. I mean what better way to get to know him then through the people that know him best.

    Rocky: So that is why you were so stunned to see him. Why didn't you tell him the truth?

    Trista: Because now is not the time.

    We hear a loud crash (the sound of glass crashing) in the background.

    Rocky: What is going on now?

    The three turn their attention towards the inside

    CUT TO

    DANCE FLOOR

    Phillip has Cyrus jacked up against a wall. Mel, Beth, and Rick try to grab Phillip off. Dancing ceases as everyone has their attention on this situation.

    Mel: What are you doing!

    Phillip: Mel, go away. Me and kangaroo boy have some things to discuss.

    Mel: I'm not going anywhere. You let him go!

    Beth: Phillip! Phillip, what are you doing!

    Phillip: Getting rid of the trash.

    Mel: Phillip, get off of him now! Rick, stop him!

    Rick: Why should I help? I for one support Phillip in beating the pretty boy up.

    Mel: (to Rick) STUPID BASTARD! I'm not the least bit surprised. You're just as deranged and Phillip is.

    Grady and Leah at this time make their way to the front of the crowd. As Grady is about to head over there, Leah stops him.

    Leah: Let me go. You go and prepare for the finale.

    Grady nods and stays while Leah advances to the situation.

    Leah: Mom, what is going on?

    Rick: Leah, get back.

    Leah: How about not. Mr. Spaulding, let Cyrus go now!

    An ominous glimmer in Phillip's eyes takes over. Cyrus grins, knowing he has brought the dark side out of Phillip.

    Cyrus: Come on silver spoon... kill me.

    Lizzie: (O.C) Dad! Stop!

    Mel and Beth continue to try and yank Phillip off. Phillip won't budge.

    Leah: (to Rick) Aren't you gonna stop him?

    Rick just stands there. No emotion. No response.

    Leah: Not the least bit surprised.

    Bill and James walk over and manage to pull Cyrus off. Cyrus dusts himself off. Meanwhile, Beth and Mel run to their respective others, checking them for scars.

    Mel: YOU ANIMALS! You people act like damn savages. What has Cyrus done to you all?

    Phillip: Breathed. He's scum just like his brother. Scum that needs to be rid of.

    Cyrus: You'd know about that, huh?

    Beth: My God you two stop! James, get your father a drink.

    Grady, now standing on the end of the punch table where the punch is located, pours something from a flask into a glass. When James approaches the table, Grady hands him the glass.

    James: Thanks man.

    Grady: No problem. No problem at all...

    James scurries back and hands it off to Beth. Beth hands Phillip the glass but he dismissive of it.

    Phillip: I don't need a damn drink! What I need is a shotgun!

    Alan emerges from amongst the crowd.

    Alan: That can be arranged but not tonight, Son...

    Mel grabs Cyrus and walks off.

    Beth: Here, Phillip! Drink this now!

    Phillip tries to fight her but give in and takes the glass. He guzzles down the poison. From a far, Grady watches on in delight.

    Grady: There you go. Down the poison. Down the poison...

    COMING UP
    -The Finale...


  23. NothinButAttitude
    EXT. BEACON HOTEL – NIGHT

    Leah looks as at Rick while searching for an answer.

    Rick: Leah, I asked you who you were talking too?

    Leah: I -- umm… I was talking too—

    The loud rustle of the leaves is heard and then all of a sudden, Grady hops out the bushes dressed in his phantom costume.

    Grady: (in a deep southern accent) I was, Sir. She was talkin' to me.

    Rick is perplexed by the presence of Grady.

    Rick: Do I know you? You look very familiar?

    Leah: NO! You don't know him he is new?

    Rick: (unsure) Are you sure? I've seen him somewhere. I can almost be certain…

    Leah: You have not met him.

    Rick: Oh really…What is your name young man?

    Grady is speechless.

    Leah: Dad! Have you ever heard of introducing yourself first?

    Rick: I'm talking to him, Leah! What is your name, Son?

    Grady: Erik! My name is Erik!

    Rick: Erik. OK. (extending his hand) Nice to meet you, Erik.

    Leah: I'll meet you inside, Erik.

    Grady nods his head understandingly. He scurries on the inside.

    Leah: (agitated) Why did you do that? Why?

    Rick: Do what?

    Leah: Oh so now your oblivious? You just badgered my date.

    Rick: I'm sorry but I just have to know who you're here with.

    Leah: You don't! Last time I checked I was an adult -- meaning I can do anything I please.

    Rick: Now I don't know about that…

    Leah: Leave me alone!

    Leah storms off leaving Rick at a loss.





    CUT TO



    INT. BEACON HOTEL BALLROOM – NIGHT

    Trista advances toward Kevin, who is posted up against the wall sipping punch.

    Trista: Are you ever going to come off that wall?

    Kevin: Why would I? Not like I have anyone to dance with.

    Trista: There's always me.

    Kevin is appreciative of this gesture.

    Kevin: Thanks. But I could not ask you to do that.

    Trista: But you could. I'm offering.

    Kevin: And Rocky is OK with this?

    Trista: He has no choice plus he agrees that I should dance with you.

    Kevin: I don't know…

    Trista: Kevin…

    Kevin sits the glass down on the table as Trista drags him onto the dance floor.

    Kevin: I'm warning you now that I am not a good dancer.

    Trista: Who cares. Let's dance.

    Kevin and Trista begin to dance. Looking on from a far is James slow dancing with Daisy. James looks on longing.

    DREAM SEQUENCE – JAMES' DAYDREAM

    Trista and James are intertwined on the dance floor slow dancing, arm in arm. No else is there but the two of them.

    Trista: Who knew you were romantic, James.

    James: And who knew I would have these feeling for you.

    Trista and James eyes interlock and the two slowly ease in for a kiss and as their lips are about to touch…

    Daisy: (V.O) James…

    END OF SEQUENCE

    James shakes his head coming out the daydream. Daisy looks concerned.

    Daisy: You OK?

    James: (pulling her back closer) Yeah. I'm fine.

    The two start to dance again but James just can't keep his eyes off of Trista.

    ON THE BALCONY

    Phillip is still scopes out the crowd.

    Lizzie: (O.C) Dad, hey you.

    Phillip turns around to see Lizzie and Bill (dressed as Catwoman & Batman) standing behind him.

    Lizzie: Why aren't you dancing?

    Phillip: (chuckles) No reason, sweetheart. I'd just rather stay up here and watch everyone else enjoy. (takes notice of the costume) Nice costume though. A bit risqué but nice.

    Lizzie lassos her whip and hits the floor with it making a loud CRACKLE.

    Lizzie: Thanks, Dad. Now excuse me and Bill while we—

    Phillip: Boogie?

    Lizzie: Eww no. Dance. Dad…(pats him on the back) enough with the old people lingo.

    Phillip: Old people!

    Lizzie and Bill head off laughing.

    Phillip, still laughing goes back to scoping out the crowd.

    Phillip: Old people. That silly daughter of mine…

    Amongst the crowd, Phillip notices something -- someone weird. He and Cyrus, who is dancing with Mel, meet eyes. So tense. So deadly.

  24. NothinButAttitude
    INT. BEACON HOTEL - NIGHT - BALLROOM

    Alan and Phillip stand on the balcony overlooking everyone below dancing, conversing, just plain enjoying themselves. Phillip is dressed up as Centurion and Alan, George Washington.

    Phillip: It was a great idea to throw this party, Dad.

    Alan: Thanks, Son. Been awhile since Springfield has thrown such a party like this.

    Caroline (dressed up as Burlesque dancer) forms a wedge in between Alan and Phillip.

    Caroline: Sorry, Mr. Spaulding but I have something that came for Mr. Phillip.

    Caroline hands Phillip an envelope that reads: READ ALONE.

    Alan: Who is that from?

    Phillip: Don't know. No return address.

    Alan takes the envelope and is about to open it when Phillip takes it back.

    Phillip: Dad, it's for me. And it says READ ALONE. Meaning for me, not for you.

    Caroline chortles but Alan looks side eyes, reprimanding her to stop.

    Phillip: Dad, ease up. Go and dance with Caroline.

    Caroline: (joyous) Well that sound great!

    Alan: I don't--

    Caroline drags Alan off to dance.

    Phillip, now alone, opens up the envelope to pull out a letter. The letter (in red ink) reads: "TONITE IS THE NIGHT...THE ENDING OF YOU..."

    Phillip places the letter in his pocket and agitated, scopes the room out.

    ON THE DANCE FLOOR

    Caroline finally drags him there and the two start to get down. Nearby is Trista (dressed as Scarlett O'Hara) and Rocky (as Rhett Butler) dancing.

    Rocky: Are you OK? I mean the way you were when you saw Mr. Shayne.

    Trista: I said I'm fine.

    Rocky: You sure?

    Trista: Positive. Guess I was just upset about the article still.

    Rocky: Well you shouldn't let Spaulding boy get to you.

    Rocky gazes over at James (dressed as Marc Antony) and Daisy (dressed as Cleopatra) dancing close.

    Rocky: What does my niece see in him? Why is she even here with him?

    Trista: Why are you so fixated on what they are doing? I thought I was your date for the evening?

    Rocky: You are.

    Trista: Then shouldn't your attention be on me?

    Rocky looks at Trista lovingly.

    Rocky: It should be. I apologize.

    Trista: Good.

    Rocky: But--

    Trista: But what? What now?

    Rocky: Kevin. Kevin is who I wanted Daisy to come with. I just wish he would've had the balls to ask her.

    Trista: You know he is shy. As a matter of fact, where is Kevin?

    Rocky points across the room to Kevin (dressed as a surgeon), who stands up against the wall alone looking out at everyone.

    Trista: Poor Kevin. Maybe I should ask him to dance.

    Rocky: Maybe you should. But just ONE. You're my date.

    Trista dances away from Rocky.

    Trista: And you know it. Be right back.

    Trista heads off towards Kevin.

    Meanwhile, Mel and Cyrus come down the stairs arm in arm dressed up as the Monster of Frankenstein and his Bride.

    DJ: (on mic) Now entering, Mel Boudreau and her date, Cyrus Foley.

    Mel gleams at the sound of the applause from the crowd.

    Cyrus: Nice crowd tonight, eh?

    Mel: I say.

    Mel and Cyrus reach the final step met by Christina and Remy.

    Mel: Remy!

    Remy: Hey big sis. (coldly) Foley.

    Cyrus: Remy. And hello to you too, Christina.

    Christina: Thanks. You guys look great.

    Mel: So do you -- (confused) how are you two suppose to be?

    Christina: Ike and Tina! Duh, Mel.

    Mel: Oh my. How cliche.

    Remy: I agree. I would've rather been Whitney and Bobby.

    Mel is stunned by this.

    Cyrus: I happen to like them.

    Christina: Thanks. Despite the fact that Ike was a woman beater, he gave the world a precious gift...(spins around) TINA TURNER BABY!!

    Mel: (to herself) Jesus take the wheel...

    Remy: What was that, Mel?

    Mel: I said I need a drink.

    Mel chases after the waiter, who has just wandered by.

    For a beat, there is an awkward silence between Remy and Cyrus.

    Cyrus: So...

    Remy: Have you seen, Leah?

    Cyrus: She was right behind us outside, but I think she met up with some of her friends outside.

    Remy: Oh. Well maybe I'll get to see her before the night is over.


    CUT TO


    EXT. BEACON HOTEL - NIGHT

    Leah, dressed up as Christine (Phantom of the Opera), sneaks over to a bush nearby the entrance. She tosses the bag she is carrying into the bushes.

    Grady: (O.S) Ouch.

    Leah: (whispering) Sorry.

    We hear the sound of the bag unzipping.

    Leah: So -- do you like it?

    Grady: What the hell is this?

    Leah: It's Erik.

    Grady: Who?

    Leah: (moans) Erik. From Phantom of the Opera. Don't tell me you've never read it before.

    Grady: No. Did you forget that I grew up in an orphanage.

    Leah: So what. Many astute people were orphans.

    Grady: OK. But, the orphanage I grew up in was POOR! We didn't get books. Hell they didn't even care about schooling.

    Leah: My bad. I'll give you a copy of it before you leave after tonight.

    Grady: (sarcastically) Great...can't wait to read it.

    Leah: Listen you--

    A touches Leah on the shoulder. She screams out and turns around to spot her father, Rick standing behind her dressed as Charlie Chaplin.

    Rick: Leah, who are you talking too?

    And on Leah searching for an answer:
