    INT. OAKDALE MEMORIAL (ELEVATOR)


    We open up with Kim and Bob holding each other hands.


    Kim: You excited?


    Bob: More than ever. I never thought I'd miss this place.


    Kim: Now remember our deal. . .


    Bob: I know, sweetheart. John and Chris both said they'll do their best to help me keep the work load down.


    Kim: I'll hold you to it.


    Bob looks at Kim, lovingly. She does the same. The two go to lean in for a kiss when the elevator doors open to a crowd of close family and friends.


    Crowd: SURPRISE!!!


    Bob and Kim step off the elevator stunned as they enter into the




    INT. 3RD STORY LOBBY


    which is filled with balloons, decorations, food, music, etc. John walks over and guides the couple through the crowd.


    Kim: Dear God.


    Bob: (to John) All of this is for me?


    John: Of course. You are the man of the hour.


    On John patting Bob on the back and Bob overcome with joy





    INT. 3RD STORY LOBBY


    Picking up where we left off. Katie hands Bob and Kim a glass of punch while Chris hands his father his lab coat.


    Chris: You're gonna need this too.


    Chris hands Bob a brand new stethoscope.


    Bob: (taking it, emotional) Thanks, son.


    John: And you'll need these too.


    John takes Bob's hand and places the keys in them.


    John: I'm relieved of my duties.


    Bob: (joking) Don't get to happy.


    Bob and John laugh when Lucinda makes her way over.


    Lucinda: (kissing Bob on the cheek) Welcome back, darling. On behalf of the board, we are all glad that you are back.


    Bob: Thanks, Lucinda.


    Lucinda: No problem.


    Lisa crosses over to greet Bob and Kim. Lucinda eyes Lisa with a disdain glance.


    Lisa: Welcome back, honey. (kissing Bob, then Kim) So glad that you two moved back home. Oakdale was no fun without you two.


    Kim: (to Lisa) And life without you was just as boring.


    Lisa and Kim laugh.


    Lucinda: (mutters) I beg to differ.


    Lisa: (snapping her head) What did you say, Ole' Lucy?


    Lucinda: Lucinda. My name is Lucinda.


    Lisa: I know what your name is, Lucy. Now what did you say?


    Lucinda: Oh nothing.


    John: (sensing the tension) Chris, Bob, how about some cake?


    Bob: (uncomfortable) Yeah. . . I'll take you up on that offer, John.


    Bob and Chris follow John to get some cake.


    Lisa: Anyways. . . (to Kim) I've got good news!


    Kim: Please share!


    Lisa: Well I've got a new business venture with Barbara and Carly.


    Kim nearly chokes on her drink.


    Kim: . . .Carly?! As in Jack's Carly? Carly Tenney?


    Lisa: Yep.


    Lucinda: Oh how I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall during this business meeting.


    Lisa cuts her eyes at Lucinda for a beat, then


    Lisa: (to Kim) We put our differences aside and decided to open a fashion house together.


    Kim: That's great!


    Lucinda: (being flippant) Oh it is! We shall see how long this lasts.


    Lisa: Lucy. . . don't hate.


    Lucinda: Never a hater. Always a congratulator.


    Lisa: I beg to differ.


    Kim: Maybe we can do a piece for WOAK on your venture.


    Lisa: (lighting up) Oh yeah?!


    Kim: Yes! I think that the people of Oakdale would love to hear three of their greatest designers come together to form something major.


    Lisa: I love it!


    Kim: You know what, Lisa, I'm gonna call the station and have the crew get on it. (digging in her clutch and grabbing her cell) Excuse me.


    Kim walks off to the opposite side of the room to make the call leaving Lucinda and Lisa all alone.


    Lisa: Aren't you gonna congratulate me?


    Lucinda: For what?


    Lisa: Just out of respect. Businesswoman to businesswoman.


    Lucinda: I'd hardly call you a businesswoman but if it makes you feel better then congrats.


    Lisa: I'm gonna remember this moment--you insulting me down the road when you ask us to buy advertisement for The Intruder.


    Lucinda: Write it down, take a picture, do whatever. I doubt I'll ask you for anything.


    Lucinda starts to walk off when Lisa grabs her by the arm.


    Lisa: Oh Lucy, hold on.


    Lisa digs in her purse and places something in Lucinda's hand.


    Lisa: I brought this just for you. You need it. Trust me.


    Lisa walks off laughing. Lucinda looks in her hand to see Lisa left her a pill -- a Midol.


    Lucinda: Tacky witch!

    INT. JACK/CARLY (LIVING ROOM)


    JJ sits on the sofa laughing uncontrollably at the TV. Parker, sitting nearby at the table, watches on annoyed.


    Parker: (over it) JJ. . .


    JJ ignores him and keeps laughing.


    Parker: JJ. . .


    JJ keeps laughing.


    Parker walks over, snags the remote off the table, and cuts the TV off.


    JJ: What the h*ll was that for?!


    Parker: If you can see, I'm trying to study.


    JJ: Then go to the room or the kitchen--the library is open today too.


    Parker: I prefer to study down here. Now keep quiet.


    JJ: Who died and make you king?


    Parker: No one, but--


    JJ: But what? You wouldn't have to study in the summer if you didn't screw around during the school year. Not my problem.


    Parker: I find that odd, coming from you.


    JJ: What?


    Parker produces the notes from his pocket and flashes it at JJ. JJ goes to snatch it but Parker prevents him from grabbing it.


    JJ: Give it to me.


    Parker: Nope.


    JJ: I'm not joking, Parker. Give me the note.


    Parker: No.


    JJ: I SAID GIVE ME THE NOTE!


    Parker: Here.


    Parker hands JJ the note with a grin on his face. JJ reads the note then rips it up.


    JJ: Stay out of my business.


    Parker: Fine. Oh, don't think that you tearing up that note prevents you from hiding the truth from Mom and Dad. They're gonna find out when August swings around and they discover that you can't go back to the academy.


    JJ: Shut up.


    Parker: Oh I will. I'm not gonna say a peep. I'm gonna sit back and watch you squirm all summer long. (leaning in close, taunting) All that money Mom and Dad spent to send you to that nice, fancy school. . . Can't wait to see them eat you alive upon learning that you've been kicked out.


    JJ glares at Parker with a burning hatred. The moment ceases upon hearing a baby cry—it’s Nora (Jack & Carly’s baby).


    Parker: Better go and check on the baby, JJ.


    JJ frowns at Parker as he advances up the stairs, disappearing and,


    On Parker, pleased,

    INT. OAKDALE MEMORIAL


    Bob, Chris, and John still stand by the table eating cake and watching everyone else enjoy themselves when John's (and Iva's) son, MJ comes rushing up to them.


    MJ: Dad—


    Bob is shocked to see MJ and puts his cake down to hug MJ.


    Bob: I haven’t seen you in years, how is your mother?


    MJ: She’s doing great.


    Bob: Glad to hear and glad to have you in the intern’s program too.


    MJ: Thanks. (to John) You’re needed in the ER. Mr. Tibbett is complaining about his pacemaker again.


    John: I’m on my way. (to Bob) Excuse me.


    Bob: No problem. About that time we all get back to work.


    John rushes off with MJ.


    PAN OVER


    To Casey, Margo, and Tom sitting off to the side in mid conversation. Casey, however, is distracted by Allison, who is across the room looking at him.


    Margo: I was thinking that it would be best that you interned with your father, Casey.


    Casey doesn’t answer back.


    Margo: Casey!


    Casey: (snapping out of it) Oh yeah. Sure.


    Margo looks across the room to see what her son is staring at and see a somber Allison. Margo gives her a dirty look and Allison walks out of frame.


    Margo: I thought you two were over.


    Casey: We are.


    Margo: Then why stare at her constantly?


    Casey: Mom, I don’t want to hear it. . .


    Tom: She’s telling the truth, Casey. Do you want to be with Allison?


    Casey: No! I did call off the engagement.


    Margo: Then you need to move on. That’s why you need to—


    Casey: Take the job with, Dad. I heard you before.


    Tom: Which won’t be a long-term internship.


    Margo: (puzzled) What’s that supposed to mean?


    Tom: Because I’m considering running for District Attorney.


    Margo: You are?


    Tom: Yes. That’s if you don’t mind working with your husband again?


    Margo: (popping Tom) Oh Tom! (hugging and kissing him) Of course I don’t mind! That’s great!


    Tom: Then it’s settled. I’m running for the DA position.


    Margo: And Casey can help you.


    Casey: (dryly) Sure.


    Margo: Maybe that’ll help his mind off of Allison.


    On Casey, doubtful that’ll happen,

    INT. TERMINAL IN AIRPORT (CHICAGO)


    A FLIGHT ATTENDANT opens the door to let people off the plane. A crowd of people exit off of it. The last two to exit off are JAMI and MONIQUE—best friends and foils of one another (Jami being a white, a yank, more demure, and reserved while Monique is a black, a Brit, little vamp (yet fashionable), and lively {and has an attitude if you cross her}).


    Jami grabs her two bags from underneath the bus while Monique struggles grabbing her entire wardrobe from underneath the bus.


    Jami: Honey, how did you get all of that on the plane? You’re only allowed one carry on!


    Monique: I told them that the Louis does not go underneath the plane. (struggling with luggage) And you’re lucky I agreed to come along. (looking around) Ugh. We gave up London to come here to Neverland?


    Jami: Neverland?


    The two start down the terminal.


    Monique: Yes. NEVERLAND. Nothing is here.


    Jami: Mo, we’re in an airport terminal. Of course nothing is here; we haven’t even made it to the exit.


    Monique: (sneering) And that is long enough for me to see that nothing is going on here. There better be hot guys here.


    Jami: We’re in the city, of course they’re gonna be hot guys. Now we better go and catch a taxi.


    Monique: You better hope I see some hot guys when I get to Oakland.


    Jami: It’s Oakdale.


    Monique: Same thing.


    Jami goes to drag Monique by the arm when Monique stops her.


    Monique: Oh no, honey. No running. Do you see the shoes I have on?


    Jami looks down to see a nice pair of black/white patterned heels.


    Monique: Chanel.


    Jami: Why would you wear that on the flight?


    Monique: Why wouldn’t I?


    Jami: (sighs) I’m not gonna even go there with you. . .


    Monique: (tossing her hair) Wise choice.


    Jami: Now let’s go get my luggage and go get a taxi.


    Monique: Yeah, yeah. (putting on Chanel shades) Oakhaven ain’t ready for the diva!


    Jami: Oakdale, Mo.


    Monique: Isn’t that what I said?


    Jami: No.


    Monique: Whatever.


    Jami tries not to laugh as she shakes her head in disbelief at her over the top friend. And on Jami walking and Monique sashaying,

    EXT. SNYDER FARM

    Holden & Emma sit on the porch in peace sipping on a glass of tea. Then a red Toyota Camry '12 drives around the winding road towards the house. It's Lily.

    Holden: (getting up) Kids are here.
    Emma: Good. I better rush and see if the cookies I baked for them are ready.
    Holden: You do that.

    Emma heads into the house as Holden walks off the porch and starts over towards the car.

    Ethan and Natalie hop out the car and rush over to Holden, hugging him tightly. Lily watches on smiling.

    Natalie: I've so missed you, Daddy!
    Holden: It's was only a couple of days.
    Natalie: But it seemed like forever.
    Holden: Well I apologize. I hope I won't have to leave so sudden and for so long again.
    Natalie: You say that every time; however, all can be forgiven if you got what I asked. . .
    Lily: Natalie!
    Holden: (to Lily) She's fine. (to Natalie) If you are referring to a new pair of riding boots then I got them.

    Natalie jumps up and down with joy.

    Holden: (to Ethan) And don't worry, I got you something too.
    Ethan: What?
    Holden: You have to go inside and see it.
    Ethan: Cool!

    The squeaky screen door opens with Aaron stepping outside.

    Aaron: I thought I heard you two from inside!
    Natalie & Ethan: AARON!!

    The two kids rush over to hug their brother before he leads them into the house leaving Holden and Lily alone for once.

    Lily: You didn't tell me that Aaron was back in town.
    Holden: It kind of happened at the last minute.
    Lily: Well I wish you would've told me. I could've baked him my apple pie that he loves so much.
    Holden: No need. Momma is already in there baking up a storm. I don't think we need another dessert.
    Lily: (wounded) Oh. . . (getting to the point) Look, Holden, we need to--
    Holden: Lily. . .
    Lily: You promised we'd discuss us when you got back.
    Holden: (taking the kids bags from Lily) What is there to discuss?
    Lily: Holden!
    Holden: Lily. . .
    Lily: I am sick of the kids being upset that we aren't together anymore. You've made your point now you should just come home.
    Holden: I am home.
    Lily: No! With me and kids I mean.
    Holden: Lily. . .
    Lily: What?!
    Holden: I did some thinking while I was gone and--(beat, trying to find words, then) I don't think that--
    Lily: What?! We should be together? Is that what you are trying to say, Holden?
    Holden: Maybe. . .

    Lily, now pissed, wipes the tears from her eyes.

    Lily: I wasn't the only one that screwed up, Holden!
    Holden: Did I say that?
    Lily: No but you sure as h*ll are implying it!
    Holden: There you go. . .
    Lily: (frazzled now) Doing what?! Putting words in your mouth? I just asked a simple question! Yes or no?
    Holden: No. No to us.

    This is a blow to Lily. She stands in silence, verklempt by Holden's confession.

    Holden: Lily, I think that everything that went down with Molly and Damien, it is kind of hard to just push it all behind us and just pick up where we left off because we can't.
    Lily: I gave you everything you asked for. You asked for space, I gave it you. But I ask you for one little thing--
    Holden: Little? I hardly find us reuniting as something little.
    Lily: (head down, shaking it, embarrassed) I always forgave you. I always took you back. When you married Emily, when you had amnesia, when you left me and went to therapy, when you SLEPT WITH CARLY!
    Holden: Calm down.
    Lily: Don't tell me to calm down, dammit! I've been wasting away waiting for you. All the me I gave up for you--Damian, Dusty, Mike! The list goes on and on but not anymore, Holden Snyder. Not anymore!
    Holden: You are seriously overreacting. I just don't think that we can reunite now. . .
    Lily: Now or later--what is the difference?! I'll tell you the difference, there is no now and there will be no later. Goodbye, Holden.

    A destroyed Lily gets into the car and speeds off and on Holden watching on, torn



    INT. OAKDALE UNIVERSITY (DORMITORY)

    Monique and Jami make their down the busy hallway--girls running around in towels, some giggling and laughing in the doorway, some doing as they are about to do and move in. The two finally make it to the end of the hall where they see their room--ROOM 235.

    Jami: This is it.

    Jami opens the door to the room to reveal an empty, yet spacious room for two--two desks, two twin beds, two closets. Both of them walk in looking around at their new home.

    Monique: At least it is bigger than our old dorm room back in London.
    Jami: True.

    Jami walks over to the window while Monique inspects one of the beds. She notices a spot on comforter on the bed and cringes.

    Mo: You can have this bed.
    Jami: (looking back) Sure.

    Mo eases over to the other side of the room and sits her stuff on the floor before plopping onto the bed.

    Mo: I can't believe that your mother thinks that we are studying abroad for a semester in Paris.
    Jami: (sitting on her bed) Well she's never one to pry. She just wrote the check out to the school and handed it over to me.
    Mo: Well my mother would never do that.
    Jami: That's why I had you apply for all those fashion abroad scholarships.
    Mo: But what about when they call?
    Jami: You still have the same number unless you changed it.
    Mo: OK. Then what about when they want to visit?
    Jami: We'll tell them that we're out of the country--we're in Italy or something.
    Mo: OK. You really have this all planned out don't you?
    Jami: I try.
    Mo: Well I don't need you to try. I just need you to--

    Two very attractive young men walk by the door, grabbing Mo's attention.

    Jami: Mo?
    Mo: (still mesmerized) Huh?
    Jami: Mo, pay attention to me.
    Mo: Girl please. I saw two fine young yanks walk pass our door and I want to get to know them.

    Mo goes and stands in the doorway, eying the guys in the hallway.

    Jami: OK. . . but I thought that you were just worried about--
    Mo: (shooing Jami) Ignore whatever I said. I think I'm going like it here in Oakville.
    Jami: Oakdale.
    Mo: Yeah, yeah. Same thing.
    Jami: Now I was thinking that we should also take full advantage of the time we have here. Like getting internships.

    Mo continues to ignore Jami as she still has her eyes on the guys.

    Jami: Mo!

    Jami pulls Mo inside and closes the door.

    Mo: Huh?
    Jami: Did you hear anything I just said?
    Mo: . . .No.
    Jami: (groans) Internships! Internships!
    Mo: What about them?
    Jami: We should apply for internships while we are here.
    Mo: I seriously doubt that there is an internship for fashion in Mayberry USA.
    Jami: Have you even looked?
    Mo: No! Have you found an internship?
    Jami: Actually I have and I have an interview tomorrow.
    Mo: Where?
    Jami: Oakdale Memorial Hospital.
    Mo: Hold on, isn't that where your grandfather works?
    Jami: Yes, but--
    Mo: OK. . . I thought that you said you weren't going to just pop in be like, (mocking) "Hey, I'm Jami Sartell. You must must be Bob Hughes. Oh guess what, and I'm your granddaughter conceived by your daughter who you haven't seen in twenty plus years!"
    Jami: That isn't the point.
    Mo: Then why apply there?
    Jami: (looking for an answer, then) OK, fine! You were right minus the "I'm your granddaughter" crap but I just want to work near him. I mean he is the reason I am going to be a doctor.
    Mo: I already know the story girl and I have since we were two. Your mother left Oakdale to volunteer in Montega, found love with your successful lawyer turned mobster dad, had you and brothers, left your dad and went into hiding and wound up in London, and somehow failed to tell her parents that she had a husband and kids.
    Jami: It is embarrassing when you put it like that.
    Mo: It is but what's done is done. You just have to be cautious. I know that you want to have a family reunion with your maternal side of the family but you have to be aware that you can't just burst into these people lives. You have to ease into their lives while still keeping your whereabouts hidden from your daddy.
    Jami: True. So should I not go in for the interview?
    Mo: Yes but don't go flying off at the mouth just yet. We're going to do this as we planned months ago, so when the truth does come out, your entire family won't feel like their hit with a ton a bricks trying to protect you.

    Jami's phone rings. It reads Aunt Frannie.

    Jami: Better answer it.
    Mo: You better.
    Jami: Hello?
    Frannie: Hey, sweetie. Have you guys settled in?
    Jami: Yes, ma'am.
    Frannie: Perfect. Just checking to see if things are alright.
    Jami: It is. How's my mom?
    Frannie: A wreck. She already wants to hop on the Eurostar and head over to Paris.
    Jami: Oh boy.
    Frannie: Don't worry, I got her on a leash.
    Jami: Hopefully it is short.
    Frannie: Well don't you worry about her. Your Uncle Andy and I have it under control. You just have fun and enjoy your time getting to know the family AND SLOWLY.
    Jami: I know. Mo just reminded me.
    Frannie: Good. I always liked that girl.
    Jami: (smiling at Mo) So do I. But Aunt Frannie. . .
    Frannie: Yes.
    Jami: Thanks.
    Frannie: You're welcome. It is about time that everyone else learns about you, your brothers, and everything else but in due time.
    Jami: Well speaking of my brothers, will you kiss Linc, Robert, and Edgar for me?
    Frannie: Will do and be safe.
    Jami: I will.

    Jami hangs up the phone with hope that everything is going to pan out as she wishes.

    Harley: (laughs) Do you say that Frank and Rocky too?
    Buzz: (sitting across from her) No . . .

    Harley eyes him, letting him know that she knows otherwise.

    Buzz: Alright so I do.
    Harley: I thought so, and where is Rocky anyways?
    Buzz: Went somewhere with Trista.
    Harley: Hmm. . . interesting. Those two have gotten really close as of late.
    Buzz: They have. She really balances him, you know. She helps him with the Lillian situation.
    Harley: Glad to hear that. I'd hate to have to watch you choose between your happiness or Rocky's feelings.
    Buzz: True. Speaking of happiness, what about you?

    Harley stops taking a sip of her tea and glances at Buzz.

    Harley: Huh?
    Buzz: You heard me. What about your love life? Any new man that I should be grilling?
    Harley: No. Nor will there be. I think that I am done with love.

    QUICK FLASH

    Harley has a vision of a man, whose face we can't see, rubbing his hand against her cheek, lovingly.

    END FLASH

    Buzz: Aww c'mon, sweetheart. For all you know, your future husband could be the next thing to walk into that door.

    Vanessa sits at her desk with J and Tom (too) sitting across from her.

    Vanessa: So what did Alan hire you for?
    Tom: Security. He wants us to protect him and his family.
    Vanessa: Well you're going to quit it, today.
    J & Tom: What!!
    Vanessa: You both heard me. You're quitting this job.
    Tom: Why?
    Vanessa: (to J) Because your father would ring my neck if I allowed you to work for Alan. (to Tom) And your parents aren't his biggest fans either. And I personally cannot allow it. Anyone that gets involved with Alan finds themselves in a world of trouble.
    J: Yet you work for him.
    Vanessa: That's different. I know how to handle Alan.
    Tom: And who says that we can't? We're just bodyguards, that's all. It's similar to being on the police force, which we use to do by the way.
    Vanessa: Do you know what for? From what?
    J: Something about something involving his missing nephew, Nick -- Alexandra. He feared she'd be the next target.

    Alan knocks on Vanessa's door, which is glass by the way. He signals the boy to come here. The boys prepare to get up when:

    Vanessa: Don't you move. I got this.

    They ease back down in their seats as Vanessa crosses over into

    and she closes the door behind her and pulls Alan off the side, out of the view of J and Tom.

    Vanessa: What do you think you're doing?
    Alan: Getting my security. Now could you move?

    Alan gently moves Vanessa out the way, but she slides right back in front of him.

    Vanessa: You're going to fire them.
    Alan: I'm going to do what?
    Vanessa: I said fire them.
    Alan: If anyone is about to get a pink slip, it's not them. It's you.
    Vanessa: You couldn't get rid of me if you tried. You might fire me; however, I'll still have a seat on the board, and you know how persuasive I can be.
    Alan: What is the problem, Vanessa?
    Vanessa: You are the problem. I know you, Alan. The games that you play, the people that you use. I'm not going to allow you to use my nephew and his cousin to do your deeds.
    Alan: And what deeds would that be, Vanessa?
    Vanessa: You tell me.

    Suddenly, Tom and J lift Vanessa up and put her back into her office, closing the door.

    J: You ready, Mr. Spaulding.
    Alan: Yes.

    J, Tom, and Alan head down the wall. Vanessa rushes back into the hall, watching them.

    Bob: University of Oxford. . . sounds good. I'm still trying to figure out what made you come here to little ole' Oakdale?
    Jami: Well I wanted to work over here and the States--hopefully bring what I learned over in London and apply it here and vice versa. Plus, I have family over here.

    Josh and Billy enter giggling and joking with one another. This moment ceases once they realize Reva lying on the sofa in a deep sleep.

    Josh: Reva?

    Josh walks over to her and gently shakes her to awaken her.

    Reva: (groggy) Bud? Is it morning?

    Josh points to a portable clock on the desk nearby, which reads “9:00 A.M.”

    Reva: Colin!

    Reva jumps up and starts to collect herself.

    Josh: Is he here?

    Josh scopes the room.

    Reva: No. He's still at the house with Jeffery.

    Billy and Josh look on confused.

    Josh: Then what’s the problem?
    Reva: (covering) Nothing . . . I just need to go and get him.
    Billy: Is everything alright, Reva gal?

    Reva moans.

    Reva: Far from it.

    Reva starts to charge for the door when Billy stands her in way, blockading her.

    Reva: Billy, not now! I have to get home to my son.
    Billy: That can wait.
    Reva: Are you serious!
    Billy: Yeah. I'm sure O'Neill has things handled. What's going on?
    Reva: Didn’t I just say nothing?

    Josh goes and has a seat at the desk. He reads her expression and knows that she is lying. So does Billy.

    Billy: You’re lying.
    Reva: What!
    Josh: We’d know.
    Reva: Then you clearly don’t know me!

    Josh and Billy exchange a smirk then glance back at Reva.

    Reva: Alright then! We had a quarrel last night.
    Billy: Quarrel? Reva, you don't do quarrels.
    Josh: Exactly. A knock down, drag out is more your style.
    Reva: Very funny. Now move, Billy!
    Billy: No.

    Reva shoves Billy out the way of the entrance when Dylan enters. He creates another barrier that prevents Reva from exiting.

    Reva: Great. Is it pick on Reva Shayne day?
    Dylan: Hardly. But I have been looking for you.
    Reva: Well here I am. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go take Colin to daycare.
    Dylan: (crossing over towards the desk) No need. Marah dropped him off a few minutes ago.
    Reva: She didn't have to do that.
    Dylan: She didn't. But Colin was with her last night. They stayed at Shayne's last night . . . since you decided to dump water on your husband's head.
    Reva: It was wine. And I tossed it at him.
    Billy: Is there really a difference, Reva?

    Reva is stunned that they are all taking shots at her. Over it,

    Reva: Why are you all giving me the third degree about my marriage?

    Cassie: I have—
    Jeffery: Reva! Reva! Where is she Cassie?
    Cassie: Do I look like I know where she is? I’m not her keeper.
    Jeffery: I’m not so sure about that.
    Cassie: Anyways . . .

    Cassie throws up “the hand” to Jeffery. She then goes back to checking in guests, ignoring him.

    Olivia: Jeffery, now is not the time for you to do this.
    Jeffery: I thought you were on my side!
    Olivia: Jeffery, I—
    Jeffery: You betrayed me. You promised that you’d fire Reva!
    Olivia: No I didn’t!
    Jeffery: You did!
    Olivia: You asked me to fire her, and I said I’d see what I can do. And as you can see, this a democracy. This not an autocracy. I just can’t go firing people without Cassie’s consent and vice versa.
    Jeffery: Oh please! That’s never stopped you before! You hate Reva! This should’ve been easy for you.
    Olivia: I don’t hate Reva. I can’t stand her, yes, but that does not give me a reason to fire her based on personal reasons. She comes to work, she does her job and well, and she goes home. Why would I want to fire an employee like that?
    Jeffery: Because of Josh!

    Cassie butts back in:

    Cassie: Uh hello, she’d still be around Josh as she works part-time for Lewis Construction. She holds stock in the company too. She has kids with man . . .
    Jeffery: And they’re grown . . .
    Cassie tosses her arms up in defeat and goes back to tending to the customers.

    Olivia: And they’re still their kids together. Like Ava is ours. D*mn, Jeffery, didn’t you learn from me? From Cassie? You don’t step into the tornado known as Josh and Reva or else you’re gonna blown, battered, and tossed aside. It’s a waste.
    Jeffery: It’s not a waste. She’s my wife.

    Olivia comes from behind the counter and pulls Jeffery aside so no one can hear them. She has a heart to heart with him:

    Olivia: And she has ties to an ex that won’t unbind. Stop fighting it.
    Jeffery: I can’t believe you . . .
    Olivia: Look! If you wanna keep Reva then you’re gonna have to learn to accept her and Josh. The more you throw these tantrums and make demands, the more you draw them back together. Been there, done that.

    This sinks in for Jeffery.

    Olivia: But you’re always going to need to start preparing yourself for the worst.
    Jeffery: Huh?
    Olivia: They’re fickle. Josh and Reva are fickle. You and I and everyone knows that. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but “Bud” and Reva are going to reunite. You just need to enjoy your time now, but be prepared when the trigger is pulled.

    India: Yes. You and Alan Michael . . . See I heard you two arguing earlier. Your son accusing you of drinking and firing you . . .

    Hope drops her head, as she knows India has got her.

    India: I need your help. I need you to help me bag Alan.

    Hope’s head snaps up with eyes widened. This strikes home for her.

    India: Yes . . . Yes, Hope! Or should I say Caroline. You’re choice. Help me become Mrs. Spaulding again or risk losing everything. Either way, I’ll get what I want. Because when I go and tell Alan, he’ll scold me at first, but it’ll eat him for a while. He’ll be plagued by my claim that you’re Hope, but he’ll take the bait and have to investigate only to discover the truth. He’ll toss you and your son out, and I’ll be there to pick up the pieces.
    Hope: Such a vile woman.
    India: Say what you want but I’m going to come out smelling like a thousand bucks . . . well maybe a couple of billions. You can either unite with me or lose it all. Your choice . . .

    Hope starts to tear up as she struggles with her decision. India leans into her ear, and:

    India: Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of Alan. Better care than you could have.

    Emily: No . . . No . . . No!

    Emily slams her pen down on the desk.

    Emily: This is abysmal!

    Samantha knocks on the door and then peeks in.



    Sam: Everything all right?
    Emily: (hostile) No. Everything is not all right. (then) You know what, something is wrong—who green-lit this story on the district attorney’s election?

    Sam comes in and closes the door. Sam signals for Emily to hand her the document. Emily passes it to her. Sam skims over it.

    Sam: I don’t see what’s wrong with it.
    Emily: (rolling eyes) Of course you don’t.
    Sam: Why the attitude? I just asked you a simple question.
    Emily: Then let me answer it . . . the story is boring. Point blank. That’s not going to sell any papers or bring us hits on the site.
    Sam: But it’s the truth.
    Emily: And it’s boring. Let’s spice it up some. Put some scandal into it. Something!

    Sam sighs.

    Emily: What was that for?
    Sam: Emily, we’re supposed to writing stories that are true and have integrity. I don’t see any scandal in the Hughes v. Wallace race. I just don’t.
    Emily: Of course you don’t because you’re green. Now let me school you on how the media industry—
    Sam: School me? Honey, who has the degree in journalism?
    Emily: And your point is? Clearly you missed the class on how to sell a proper story.
    Sam: No I just chose to skip that class because I believe that a paper should be foregrounded with the truth. Not centering a story around smut and scandal, but if you had proper training in journalism—
    Emily: (raising up) Proper training? Honey, I’ve been running this paper for well over a decade. And pretty d*mn fine before you came waltzing in here taking over . . . You know what, ever since you’ve gotten this job, you think you run the place.
    Sam: Whatever.

    Sam tosses the document on the desk.

    Emily: So now what? You’re going to go call grandma and let her know that we’re at a standstill?
    Sam: Nope. Run it.

    Emily is stunned that she’s won this round.

    Emily: Did you just say—
    Sam: I said run it. Change it. Edit it. Do what you want. Just don’t be surprised with the backlash.
    Emily: Oh it wouldn’t be the first.
    Sam: I’m sure it won’t.

    Off Sam’s exit, Emily smiles, pleased with herself. She then reaches and grabs the phone and starts to dial. She then waits for a second, then:

    Emily: Gary, hey. I need you and the rest of the guys at the printer to be ready. This story I’m about to send will be the headline . . . Yes, I know it will be rushed but make it happen. I want this story out before noon . . . Thanks. Bye.

    Tom: Trust me. That won’t happen.
    Volunteer2: I hope not because there are a lot of people in this town that are still upset about the last time you were D. A.

    Carter: But just because Tom and I are at war does not mean we have to be.
    Lisa: (grinning) True . . .

    Lisa: Very funny! You doubt my boy, but you forget that he has a bit of me in him.
    Carter: Well I hope it’s not your sexiness because I don’t nor will ever look at Tom like that.
    Lisa: I hope not . . . But resilience, resilience is what he inherited from me. He won’t lie down and take a beating easily.

    Tom: I’m guessing the mayor. What’ve I’ve heard is that the two became golf buddies a few years back at the Governor’s charity golf tournament in Henderson.
    Bonnie: Did he try to run there too?
    Tom: (laughs) No. (stoic, but nervous) But I have been looking into his history and he has a stellar track record for his time in Monticello.
    Bonnie: How stellar?
    Tom: Way better than his predecessor, Mike Karr, and he was one h*ll of D. A.

    A Volunteer peeks their head into the office.

    Volunteer #3: Mr. Hughes, we need you out in the main room fast. Something has come up.
    Tom: (concerned) OK.

    Bonnie and Tom exchange looks. They both then rush out into the main room where everyone is surrounding a computer and holding paper newspapers in their hands.

    Bonnie: What is it?

    Another Volunteer hands Bonnie a newspaper.

    Volunteer #4: Take a look.

    A close-up shot of The Intruder, and the headline reads, “Brother V. Brother: Battle Lines Drawn.” There is a shot of Tom on one side and Carter and Scott on the other.

    Bonnie: You’re brother?

    Tom snatches the paper from Bonnie and flings it across the room.

    Tom: D*mmit, Emily!
    Bonnie: But what damage can it do? Everyone has probably known that Scott’s been back in town, right?
    Tom: No.
    Bonnie: Tom!
    Tom: I know, I know. I was hoping to convince him drop out the race before they made a public announcement or it went out to the presses, but I’m not surprised that big mouth Emily found out before everyone else. (paces the floor) But I can fix this, I can fix this.
    Volunteer #5: (at computer) I wouldn’t say that just yet.

    Volunteer #5 slides aside to show the same story online.

    Tom: She put it online too!
    Bonnie: Tom, that’s not the point. Look!

    Bonnie points to the side of the screen where Emily has a Twitter box embedded on the site, and it shows a feed of all the other newspapers across Illinois linking to her story.

    Bonnie: Sh*t just got real.
    Tom: F*ck!

    Tom flips a chair over before calming down.

    Tom: I’m going to kill her.

    FUNERAL FRENZY

    By NothinButAttitude,

    EXT. CHURCH - DAY

    Olivia and Natalia walk up the church hand in hand. Olivia stops in place, staring at the monolith in front of her.

    Natalia: What's wrong?
    Olivia: Nothing. I just need sometime to take this all in. I can't believe that I am actually burying my brother today.
    Natalia: (reaches out to comfort her) Oh, honey.

    Olivia pushes Natalia away and starts to break down.

    Olivia: No, NO! I can't accept it. I can't accept that I am burying by baby brother. I was suppose to go before him. Sam is suppose to live a long, happy, meaningful life. He was the one to go on have kids. He was the one who was to make a difference in the world. WHY NOT ME?!

    Natalia pulls out her handkerchief and goes for Olivia's face when again Olivia pushes her away.

    Olivia: Could you STOP?!
    Natalia: I'm trying to help you.
    Olivia: I don't need help. What I need is Sam. Can you bring him back?
    Natalia: No...
    Olivia: THEN YOU CAN'T HELP ME!

    Olivia storms off into the church leaving Natalia in deep thought and sorrow.

    INT. TOWERS - DAY

    Rick and Ed sit a table eating breakfast and chatting over the current events.

    Ed: So glad that Alan dropped those charges.
    Rick: I'm surprised if anything. That man normally does not back down to anyone.
    Ed: Well there is a first for everything.
    Rick: And that is a first.

    A waiter comes to their table to pour them another cup of coffee.

    Rick: (to waiter) Thanks. (to Ed) But I want to commend you on allowing Olivia to join Sam's funeral with all our family.
    Ed: No problem. We all might as well mourn all these people together. They were so loved by many of us.
    Rick: True.

    Nearby, the elevator door opens and Danny and Michelle step off. Michelle and Ed spot each other and Michelle rushes in her father's arms.

    Michelle: (hysterical) Dad, I can't believe it. I just can't. Aunt Meta, Aunt Trudy, Uncle Bruce, Hope, and Uncle Mike. This is a tragedy.
    Ed: (consoling her) I know, I know. But we will get through this. (to Danny) Hi Danny.
    Danny: Hi Ed and Rick.
    Rick: Good to see you Danny.

    Danny's phone goes off. He looks at his phone.

    Danny: It's my friend Bob from the FCC. He may have an update on what might've caused the crash. Excuse me guys.

    Danny walks off and everyone is stricken with doubt and fear of what is to come.

    Reva storms in carrying Colin with Jeffrey slumping in behind her. He gently closes the door when Reva snaps back around facing him.

    Reva: How dare you!

    Jeff: Reva—

    Reva: You have the nerve to side with Olivia over my daughter. You have lost your mind.

    Jeff: I am on no one’s side but I do think Marah should not have been there. It was tacky.

    Reva: Tacky?! (giggles to mask her anger) Tacky? No what is tacky was the little number she did on Marah.

    Reva gently lays Colin in his bassinette.

    Jeff: She is mourning.

    Reva: And Marah is not?

    Jeffrey reaches out to Reva as she blows him off, storming off into the kitchen.

    Reva: That bitch! Oh she better ready because I am coming for her. Full speed ahead.

    Jeff: This is ridiculous.

    Reva: Whatever.

    Reva crosses back in the living room and opens the door to the coat closet. She reaches up and pulls down a blanket and pillow.

    Reva: There you go.

    Jeff: What? Reva…

    Reva: You are sleeping there tonight or better yet if you don’t like that, call Olivia and get a room at the Beacon. I don’t care.

    Reva picks Colin up and heads up stairs leaving Jeffrey at a loss for words.

    The Spaulding family sits in the table conversing and eating.

    Alex: Such a nice funeral.

    Beth: Until Olivia ruined it as always.

    Alan: I found it to be quite entertaining. For once the spotlight was not on the Bauers. Olivia stole it from them with that great speech.

    Alan laughs to himself.

    Beth: Alan, you’re sick.

    Alan: So what. You didn’t seem to care when you were married to me.

    James: Hey! Don’t you even go there.

    Lizzie: I agree. Granddad, you should be ashamed. What Olivia did was cruel. Poor Marah.

    Alan: Oh who cares about Marah Lewis?

    Bill: I would. She happens to be my cousin.

    Alan: Who got bashed in every sense…

    Caroline: (O.C) Mr. Spaulding!

    Alan turns around to Caroline who is not so pleased by crude words.

    Caroline: I thought you swore you were going to change for once?

    Alex: (whispering to Beth) And how many women has he sworn that too.

    Beth nods.

    Alan: Caroline, this has nothing to do with you. Stay in your lane. You’re my assistant, not my consciousness.

    Lizzie: I don’t know, I kind of like Caroline keeping you check.

    Caroline: Thank you, Mrs. Lewis. (to Alan) You should be gracious on a day like this.

    Alan: Oh come on, Caroline. You have to admit Olivia’s speech was great.

    Caroline: I think not. And I am sure the Bauers or Alan Michael did not appreciate it. (looking around) Where is Alan Michael?

    Phillip: Yeah but she is the mother of my precious Emma. I feel like I have too.

    A-M: You don’t.

    Phillip: No but I do. (beat) So what are you thinking about?

    A-M: My mom. My life, what am I going to do with it now.

    Phillip: There is always a position for you at Spauldings.

    A-M: Hell no. I never wanna work there again. Spaulding Enterprises has cost me so much. I don’t want to touch anything involved with it with a six foot pole.

    Phillip: Come on, bro. (pats A-M on the back) It’s not that bad.

    Grady: What do you think me hiding behind this dumpster is?

    Cyrus: Grady… Hiding behind a dumpster is not what I mean. Like an abandoned building, something.

    Grady: I’m not hiding in some rat infested, rundown building. Not gonna happen, mate.

    Cyrus: Grady, I am trying to keep you safe. These people think you are dead and I am trying to keep it that way until the plan come through.

    Dorrie: Mother, why are we going back to dullsville which is known as Springfield?

    India: You know why. For me to get back with Phillip—

    Dorrie: Which will never happen.

    India looks at her daughter letting her know to watch her mouth.

    India: And for you to snag a rich man yourself.

    Dorrie: In Springfield? (chortles) Mother, come on! If I am trying to find a rich man send me somewhere I know I have a chance like: Dubai or New York City, LA or Paris. Not Springfield.

    India: Oh honey, there are so many rich men in Springfield. Trust me.

    Dorrie: Whatever. I vowed never to come back here again. The only good thing I got out of being here was you.

    India: (tearful) Oh baby girl… (shakes it off) But no. We have to. We have to find rich men. Ever since Ramon Santiago, my ex husband—

    Dorrie: Mother, I know. He stripped us of all our fortunes, blah , blah, blah. Then Alan gave you the job, which now you were fired from due to recession.

    India pops Dorrie on the head.

    Voice: Jack . . .! Jack . . .!

    Jack awakens to see Deloris standing at the foot of the bed. She has a glowing aura about her -- it's apparent that she's an apparition.

    Jack: Mom!
    Deloris: Jack . . .! Jack . . .! Help me!

    Deloris holds her hands out to Jack, who tries to reaches her but can't as she seems to get farther and father away from him.

    Jack: Mom! Wait, what is it?
    Deloris: Jack . . .!

    Deloris points to his badge that sits on the nightstand. Jack glances at it and now at Deloris again, who has blood on her white gown. Deloris touches the blood and looks at it before showing her now bloody hands to Jack.

    Deloris: Help me . . .
    Jack: I don't know what you are saying? Mom! . . . Mom!

    Carly: Last night. You waking me up. How about starting there?
    Jack: I . . . I just had a bad dream.

    Carly grabs a seat next to him.

    Carly: Care to share?

    Jack flashes back to his mother holding her bloody hands out to him for help.

    Jack: What are you, a dream interpreter now?
    Carly: Did I say I was?
    Jack: No.
    Carly: OK then. I was just worried as you woke up like you've seen a ghost or something.
    Jack: Carly . . .

    We hear Baby Nora cry in the background.

    Carly exits up the stairs. Jack grabs his badge and heads for the door, and opens it, nearly colliding into JJ, still in his pajamas. He has a stack of mail in his hands.

    Jack: What are you doing up this early?
    JJ: Uh . . . Thought I'd get the mail.

    Jack reaches for the mail and JJ snatches away.

    JJ : No, Dad!
    Jack: JJ, give the mail.
    JJ: (seeing badge in Jack's hand) Aren't you running late?
    Jack: Yeah. Just give the mail to your mom.
    JJ: I will.

    Jack runs off. JJ closes the door and quickly goes through the mail until the gets to a letter from his school. He rips it opens to see it's another letter informing them that JJ has been expelled.

    JJ: (mumbling) Mom and Dad are going to kill me.
    Parker (OC): They sure are . . .

    JJ nearly jumps out of his skin. He turns to see Parker standing behind him at the bottom of the stairs, grinning.

    JJ: You are just loving this, aren't you?
    Parker: Yep. If you'd just tell Mom and Dad--
    JJ: I'm not telling them anything and neither are you!

    Parker, still donning a grin, walks over to JJ and takes the rest of the mail.

    Parker: Of course not. I enjoy watching you squirm anyways.
    JJ: Don't you have something better to do like pine over Liberty?
    Parker: Shut up!
    Carly (OC): Boys!

    JJ hides the letter behind his back. Carly comes downstairs holding Nora.

    Carly: Boys, can you watch Nora today for me?
    Parker: Can't. I have SAT prep today, but JJ can.
    JJ: What?!

    Parker tugs at the letter behind JJ's back, reminding him that he could always feed his brother to the wolves. JJ, knowing he's in a predicament, caves in.

    JJ: I'll do it.
    Carly: Thanks, JJ. Don't worry as Sage will be home around 2:00 after cheerleading camp is over. (notices mail) Is that it?

    Luke covers his mouth to prevent from laughing. Carter smiles, amused, but even more impressed by Lisa's sassy personality.

    Lucinda: Mr. Wallace, you'll have to excuse this she-beast. She is as crass as they come. Please have a seat.
    Carter: (eyeing Lisa) Nothing wrong with being a little crass.

    Lisa looks back Carter, seductively. She likes this man. She wants to know more about him . . .

    Lucinda: (clear throat) Honey, that stunt you're trying to pull is tired. Just like you are. Now if you'll please excuse us, as I am funding Mr. Wallace's campaign, and go fetch us so more coffee . . .

    Marah: Why did you come here? I thought I told you guys I did not want any guests.
    Reva: Then you should've known we were going to do the opposite. Especially me.
    Marah: Mother, I just want to be alone. (misty eyes) I just wanna heal up by myself and then go back to my life Paris.
    Shayne: Marah, stop being a brat.

    Marah turns back to face her family with hatred in her eyes.

    Marah: Go to hell, Shayne.
    Shayne: Classy, Marah. Real classy.
    Josh: Shayne, stop. Marah, we want you to come back home.
    Marah: For what? There is nothing for me in Springfield.
    Reva: Uhh hello, there is us.
    Marah: Great. (sarcastically) Something to really make me go back home.
    Shayne: Mom, Dad, let her go back to Paris if she wants. Clearly she thinks she's too good for Springfield.
    Marah: I am too good.

    Marah turns back away from them.

    Shayne: But when you get there you are going to get a rude awakening. Your name is in the dirt.

    Marah turns back puzzled.

    Marah: What did you say?
    Reva: Shayne, no.
    Shayne: Mom, she might as well know! No use in her going back to find out she no longer has a job and that no one is going to hire her.

    Alan: I have nothing to say to him.
    Phillip: You can comfort him.
    Alan: I think not.
    Rick: Alan, you are so cold hearted. He just lost his Grandpa, 2 aunts, an uncle, and his mother in one day.

    Ed: True. But if she had been missing thus far then there is no hope that she is alive.
    Alan: Well I am holding out hope.

    Alan rolls his eyes and steps out on the patio where Alan Michael is gazing at the stars. A-M looks back at Alan for a second and turns away.

    Alan: You alright?
    A-M: Don't come out here if you don't mean it. I know Uncle Ed had to strong arm you to come out here.

    Roseanna: (on phone) Yes . . . I want as many flowers and candles as you can fit in there and I want it to look nice . . . Now how much is that? (jots down something) . . . That’s perfectly fine. You can bill my account.

    Craig walks in dressed in a nice tuxedo. All the life is sucked from him—he himself seems dead.

    Roseanna: (whispering, in phone) Just have it done, OK?

    Roseanna hangs up the phone and focuses her attention to Craig, who looks out window, in a glazed reverie.

    Roseanna: Craig . . .

    Craig: You don’t have to put up a front. I know what you are doing.

    Roseanna: I don’t know what you’re talking—

    Craig: The funeral. I know that you’ve been up all night planning it. You didn’t have to.

    Roseanna: But I wanted too.

    Craig: (slight smile, then) Why are you so nice to me? After everything I have done to you over the years?

    Roseanna eases over to Craig and places a hand on his shoulder for comfort.

    Roseanna: Because I’ve learned that everyone deserves a second chance.

    Craig: But this is like my one-thousandth chance with you. My fourth chance to be a father and I just keep blowing it. (to Roseanna with tears in his eyes) I’m cursed. I have to be. First Bryant’s death, Lucy won’t even talk to me, Dusty practically has more rights to Johnny than me, and now Gabriel is dead. This must be my comeuppance.

    Roseanna: You’re talking crazy.

    Craig: I beg to differ. (moves to sofa and sits) Maybe this is God telling me that I suck as a father—that I don’t deserve to be one. If that is the message he is trying to convey then dammit, I have heard him loud and clear!

    Cricket lowers her head, embarrassed.

    Emily (OC): Mr. Hughes, will you become bored with the position like you did last time?
    Tom: No . . . (realizing) Emily . . .
    Lisa: Oh no.

    Emily pushes her way to the front of the crowd. She holds out her tape recorder.

    Emily: I just want to jog your memory along with these people. Last time you were DA, you stepped down, correct?
    Tom: (annoyed) Yes.
    Emily: You declared at that time that you were over law, correct?
    Tom: Yes, I was but--
    Emily: Now you do understand why the people of Oakdale would be a bit skeptical about you stepping into the position again, do you?

    Tom is at a loss of words. Margo facepalms while Lisa shakes her head in disgust.

    Tom: Yes. I would.
    Reporter#3: Seeing as Ms. Stewart--
    Emily: Mrs. Ryan . . .
    Reporter#3: My apologies. Seeing as Mrs. Ryan is here and brought this up, wasn't this also around the time that you worked for her, which lead to you have a child out of wedlock with her?
    Tom: Yes, but--
    Voice (OC): OK. OK. That's enough. You guys are taking all the fun out of an election for me.

    Everyone turns to the side to see Carter Wallace, Tom's competition, standing with a big grin on his face.

    Lisa: (to Margo) Who is he?
    Margo: The competition.
    Lisa: (intrigued) Oh.

    On Carter waving and smiling for the flashing camera like a true politician would,

    We pick up where we left off. Carter moves through the crowd and makes his way onto the podium to join Tom but not before he and Lisa exchange glances--chemistry exploding.

    He joyfully pats Tom on the back, playing up the crowd. Tom is fuming once again, as he doesn't appreciate Carter taking over his event.

    Carter: Oakdale!
    Crowd: YEAH!

    Margo elbows Lisa, who joined in. Then shoots a look at her letting her know to no participate.

    Carter: Are you ready sick of these half a**ed young bucks promising you one thing, but doing the other?!
    Crowd: YES!
    Carter: Are you tired of your streets not being safe for your children because of fear of gangs and pedophiles?!
    Crowd: YES!
    Carter: Are you tired of these so called cops (glances back at Margo) not doing their jobs to the best of their abilities?!
    Crowd: YES!
    Carter: Then vote for me because I promise you, unlike my competition, (pats Tom again) that I'll clean Oakdale up. I'll send a shockwave, a message that will have criminals fleeing this town. Our streets will safe again for children to run and play. I'll work with the Mayor and Commissioner, yet call them out when they aren't serving you . . . (points at everyone) Serving you! Vote for Carter Wallace, the OG that'll set Oakdale free.

    The crowd goes into an uproar of cheers. Carter basks in the cheers and looks over at Tom. Carter shrugs his shoulders, letting him know that the game is on, before basking in the cheers again.

    Meanwhile, Lisa watches on intrigued. Charismatic, sexy, and hands on -- a man that Lisa needs, a man that Lisa wants.

    Mo and Allison still stare each other down as Jami watches on, still sipping her tea.

    Mo: Once again, can I help you?
    Allison: You can. Stay away from Casey.
    Mo: Excuse me, b*tch?
    Allison: Did I stutter?
    Mo: You better hope you did, heffa.
    Allison: Or what?
    Mo: (to Jami) Oooo! Did this b*tch just challenge La Diva?!

    Mo grabs the butter knife off the table and swipes it Allison, who dodges being cut by the blade. Everyone in the room is paying full attention to this altercation.

    Mo: Don’t get sliced up in here, Blondie!

    Jami gets up and stands between the two.

    Jami: Put the knife down, Mo!

    Allison: Yeah. You better listen to her before you get hurt with that knife, you hood rat.
    Mo: Hood rat? Girl stop. Would a hood rat ever look as glamorous as La Diva? Dressed to nines in Chanel, and sporting red bottoms? I think not.
    Allison: Who is “La Diva?”
    Mo: Me.

    Allison bursts into laughter. Mo tries to make a go for Allison but Jami prevents her. Meanwhile, Casey & MJ make their way into the restaurant and up to the women.

    Casey: What’s going on?
    Mo: This mess you were involved with decided to take it upon herself and warn me about talking to you.
    Casey: What? Allison!
    Allison: Casey, I’m not about to let you get involved with an unsavory character.
    Jami: Unsavory character? You don’t even know her.
    Mo: You better get this b*tch, Casey! Before I coat this wall with red—HER BLOOD!
    Casey: (to Allison) Who are you to talk? Ex-porn star. . .
    Mo: Porn star?! I knew there was something real gutter butt about you girl!
    Casey: . . . Serial adulteress. You’re the only one that’s unsavory.

    Hurt, Allison storms out of the restaurant. Casey turns to Mo, who is still disturbed by the entire ordeal.

    Casey: I am so—
    Mo: No. Don’t. It’s not your fault. Some people just don’t know when to let go.
    Casey: Yeah . . . (noticing Jami) Oh! You must be the new intern that MJ is always talking about.

    Mo glances at Jami with a “I told you so” grin. Meanwhile, MJ blushes as he is embarrassed.

    Jami: (awkwardly) I guess so. . . (shaking Casey’s hand) Jami Sartell, by the way.
    Mo: Well since we all know each other, I had an idea. . .
    Jami: Monique . . .
    Mo: (ignoring her) How about a double date? Me and Casey. MJ and Jami. How about it?

    Casey: I think it’s an excellent idea. How about tomorrow?

    Jami: I think I’m on—
    Mo: (silencing her) She’s all for it. You pick the time and place.
    Casey: Will do.

    Adrienne: Oh my God. It’s been so long since I’ve seen you, Jack. You look great!
    Jack: (blushing) Thanks.

    Carly clears her throat, gaining Jack’s attention.

    Jack: Oh—this is my wife, Adrienne. (pulling Carly next to him) Carly, this Adrienne. She use to go out with Brad back in high school.
    Carly: Oh really? (pointing to Janet) I thought she did?

    Adrienne glances back and finally acknowledges Janet. She cuts her eyes at her and goes back to ignoring her.

    Janet: Adrienne . . . you look nice after all these years.
    Adrienne: So do you . . . and your child bearing hips.

    Jack’s jaw drops. Janet laughs slightly as it’s on for her. Carly watches on enthused as once again, she is drama free.

    Janet: Well that’s because I’ve been able to get a man to have kids with me.
    Adrienne: Is that so? I heard that Brad didn’t even know about your first bundle of joy, and Jack here was supposedly the father of the second, but wasn’t. Still sluttin’ around, huh, Juicy?
    Carly: Oh wow. . .
    Janet: I can still see that you’re jealous. Let me give you something else to hate about (show wedding ring) I’m married.
    Adrienne: Really? Who was brave enough to do that?
    Janet: His name is Dusty Donovan.
    Adrienne: And he didn’t flee in the opposite direction? That’s shocking. Honey, just because he put a ring on your finger doesn’t change your spots. You might need H and O to spell housewife, but you’ll never be one.
    Carly: Did she just call you a h*?! (nudging Janet) You gonna let her call you out?
    Jack: Carly! (to Janet & Adrienne) Now c’mon now you two . . . Brad would not want you two fighting.
    Carly: Oh please. Brad would’ve enjoyed this. Well the old Brad would’ve.
    Adrienne: Jack, no worries. I just came to pay my respects seeing as I wasn’t able to make Brad’s funeral.
    Janet: I don’t know why. Deloris hated you.
    Carly: (to Adrienne) You too?! Girl, she hated me—
    Jack: Carly!
    Carly: I’m gonna just go into the kitchen.
    Jack: You do that.

    Carly heads into the house.

    Adrienne: Regardless of how your mother felt, I respected her, Jack.
    Janet: (tuts) So fake.

    Adrienne scowls at Janet for second, then

    Adrienne: I just wanna let you know that I’ll be in town for a few days.
    Jack: Sounds great. Where will you be staying?
    Adrienne: The Lakeview.
    Jack: Wonderful. Just stop by and see me, Carly, and the kids before you leave.
    Adrienne: Will do.

    Adrienne kisses Jack on the cheek.

    Adrienne: So good to see you again.
    Janet: Goodbye!

    Adrienne flicks Janet “the bird” and walks off. Holden walks over and rejoins Janet and Jack.

    Holden: Who was that?
    Jack: An old friend of mine and Brad.
    Janet: A hater.
    Holden: Alright. . .
    Jack: How’s Aaron?
    Holden: Not good. The funeral is causing him to worry about Julie—you know with her being sick and all.
    Jack: Yeah . . .

    Woman: You alright?!
    Aaron gets up and dusts himself off.
    Aaron: Not so much. My life just flashed before my eyes. Why are speeding down this road anyways?!
    Woman: I said that I’m sorry.
    Aaron: You ought to be. You could’ve killed someone.
    Woman: Look. . . I’m just trying to get to Oakdale.
    Aaron: Well you’re almost there. Just outside of it.
    Woman: Good. Do you need a ride back to wear you’re going?
    Aaron: No. I’ll be fine. Just don’t try and kill me again.

    Buzz stands at the grill cooking while Cyrus lumbers beside him, downing a beer.

    Buzz: So what were you two arguing about the other day?
    Cyrus: (puzzled) Who -- what are you talking about?
    Buzz: You and Phillip. What were you two arguing about?
    Cyrus: Nothing. Nothing at all.
    Buzz: It couldn't have been about nothing. The tension was too thick.

    Cyrus laughs to throw Buzz off.

    Cyrus: It was nothing. Honest, Buzz. Nothing at all.
    Buzz: Ok now.

    Buzz's phone rings. He answers it.

    INT. COMPANY - DAY

    Lillian stands at the counter with phone to her, serving the customers.

    INTERCUT - TELEPHONE CONVERSATION

    Buzz: Hello?
    Lillian: Hey, Buzz, I need you come and pick me up at Company.
    Buzz: (jokingly) Well I'm kind of doing something now.
    Lillian: I know but my car won't start and I have the auto club coming to pick it up. So I have no other way to the cookout.

    Buzz glances at Cyrus for a second.

    Buzz: (to Lillian) Hold on for a second, babe. (to Cyrus) Could you handle this for me? (gesturing to the grill)
    Cyrus: Of course.
    Buzz: (to Cyrus) Thanks. (to Lillian) I'm on the way now. Love you.
    Lillian: Love you too, Buzz.

    Buzz hangs up the phone. Buzz hands Cyrus the fork and scurries off.

    EXT. PARKING LOT - DAY

    Rafe and Daisy, struggling to carry the coolers, head into the park entrance when Buzz rushes past them.

    Daisy: (looking back) Gramps, where are you going?
    Buzz: To pick up Lillian, I'll be back. Hold the fort down until I or Rick gets back.
    Daisy: Alright!

    Rafe and Daisy continue on heading into towards the park entrance until a black Benz whips into the parking spot next to them. Exiting the car very seductively is non other than Blake, wearing a slick, black, provocative dress being the maneater she is. (YES, Blake is a maneater, this is my story darn it! ) Hopping out the front seat is Clarissa, they are not alone! Jason and Kevin are back! They are with them as well. (Kevin of course, fair-haired, and logical like Ross. Jason, dark, a wild card, unpredicatable, like his good ole grandpa, Roger)



    Kevin & Jason


    Blake: (to Daisy) Hey you! I heard your mother is back in town. How is she doing?
    Daisy: I don't know. Don't care to be honest. I haven't really spoken to her myself.
    Blake: Oh you two well make up soon. (to Rafe) And how are you?
    Rafe: I'm fine, Blake.

    Clarissa runs over and hugs Rafe.

    Rafe: Hey Clarissa.
    Blake: (realizing she has yet to introduce her son) Oh! Daisy, Rafe, meet my sons, Jason & Kevin; Daisy, you remember them don't you? They've just returned back from England and are here to attend Springfield U with you all in the fall. They've been in England with their great-grandma, Barbara.
    Daisy: How great!

    Daisy shakes Jason's hand. And then Kevin, who is shy and slouching around in the background. Daisy smiles to ease his pains and Kevin is immediately stricken by her smile.

    Kevin: It looks as if you were struggling with that cooler. Let me help you with that.

    Daisy: Thanks.

    Kevin grabs the cooler and Daisy leads him into the park followed by Rafe, Jason, and Clarissa.

    Blake: (about Kevin) Such a gentleman.



    EXT. BAUER HOME - DAY

    Alan Michael, still hidden behind the bushes looks in at Ed and Rick. For a second, he looks as he is going to go for and ring the doorbell when a car pulls up, ending the moment. Alan Michael goes back into hiding in the bushes.

    Rushing down the driveway is Phillip and Beth. Rick opens the door to greet and embrace them. Alan Michael still watches on from a far.

    Rick: What are you guys doing here?
    Phillip: To pick you guys up. Is everything ready?
    Rick: I was going to take my car. And plus me and my dad in the car with Alan...
    Phillip: Aw come on. Beth, help.
    Beth: Rick, come on. Please, for me.

    Ed interjects into the conversation.

    Ed: Go ahead. Plus I am waiting on Michelle to call back. She had another call from the D.C. It was probably Meta.
    Rick: Dad, you sure?
    Ed: (laughing) This is so awkward for you to ask me for permission. Go! I can handle it and get things into the car. If not, Michelle and Danny should be here from Monticello by the time everything gets done.
    Phillip: How are Danny and Michelle?
    Ed: Great. Now that Danny won the mayor position in Monticello, things are going well. That town could use him to help clean up its high crime rates. Plus their closer to home. I would've preferred Bay City, Oakdale, Somerset, or Henderson but I can deal with Monticello.
    Rick: Well I will call you, Dad, to check up on things every now and then. (grabs coat) Bye, Dad.

    Rick, Beth, and Phillip depart. We hear Alan moan (assuming from the sight of Rick) and the car pulls off.

    Ed closes the door. Alan Michael comes from the bushes and approaches the door yet again. Just as he is about the push the doorbell the telephone rings from inside. A-M peers inside the nearby window, listening in. Ed is on the phone, talking to someone. It's pretty serious.

    Ed: Michelle...breathe, honey. I can't understand you through sobs...Michelle!

    A-M is worried. It's now or never. He rings the doorbell.

    Ed: (to Michelle) Collect yourself and I will be back. (rushes to the door) Who is it?

    Ed opens the door and is bewildered to see A-M standing in from the of the door.

    Ed:...Alan Michael?

    EXT. LIGHTHOUSE - DAY

    Rocky drags Trista to the top of the lighthouse where the lantern is located and turns to her smiling.

    Rocky: Here we are!

    Trista hesitantly walks over the railing and looks over to the jagged rocks that lie below.

    Trista: Dear God...
    Rocky: You scared?
    Trista: NO!
    Rocky: You are. Trying to mask the fear, aren't you?
    Trista: I said I was not scared, didn't I?
    Rocky: (unsure) Ok...

    Rocky pulls a blanket out of the basket and spreads it on the floor.

    Rocky: (gesturing) Come on. Let's eat before the food gets cold.

    Trista joins him on the ground and the two begin to take the food out the basket.

    Trista: Rocky--
    Rocky: Yes.
    Trista: We need to talk, buddy.
    Rocky: About...
    Trista: Ms. Raines or should I say the soon to be Mrs. Cooper.

    Rocky is unnerved by this statement.

    Rocky: What is there to talk about?
    Trista: A lot. You're burning hatred for that poor old woman.
    Rocky: I don't hate her.
    Trista: Liar.
    Rocky: I just can't stand her. Her constant nagging for my approval and that voice -- that soft voice drives me insane.
    Trista: (biting into her apple) Well you better learn to like her. Your dad is about to marry that woman.
    Rocky: I beg to differ.
    Trista: And that is suppose to mean?
    Rocky: What I meant. My dad is not going to marry her. Not if I have anything to do with it.
    Trista: Dear God...
    Rocky: I thought we were here to spend time together. You know, friends hanging out.
    Trista: We are, aren't we?
    Rocky: Then no more talk about my dad and Lillian. (placing his hand on hers) Let's talk about us.
    Trista: Us?
    Rocky: (flirting) Yes. Us...

    Trista tenses up and pulls her hand away.

    Trista: I don't get what your insinuating.
    Rocky: You do.

    Trista nervously takes another bite of her apple.

    Rocky: Trista -- I -- I --

    Trista starts to unravel and sweat heavily.

    Rocky: I want you to pass a sandwich.

    Trista's jaw drops and Rocky burst into laughter.

    Trista: You moron!

    She tosses the sandwich at him.

    Rocky: What did you think I was going to say? I love you or something?
    Trista: I -- No.
    Rocky: Umm hmm.
    Trista: I did not think that, Rocky.
    Rocky: Ok. But if you did--
    Trista: I won't and never will.
    Rocky: Never say never as I always say.
    Trista: Well I am saying it. We could be no more than friends.
    Rocky: And I could not have it any other way.

    Rocky holds up his root beer and so does Trista.

    Rocky: Cheers.

    The two smile, cheering to their friendship.

    Flashing cameras and mics crowd the doorway as Alan and Jeffrey (the DA) approach the courtroom. Dinah, with mic in her hand, reaches it out to Alan.

    Dinah: Alan, would you like to make a statement about the charges you have filed against your son?

    Alan: No I would not. And you of all people should know about shady business dealings.

    Alan walks ahead leaving Dinah bewildered.

    Dinah: (to the camera) Well Springfield, that is the devil himself.

    The courtroom is filled with various citizens of Springfield. Alan and Jeffrey taking a seat on the plaintiff side. Alan Michael and Mel trail them shortly, followed by Ed, Rick, and Phillip. Phillip sits on Alan's side (even though he wants his brother free) and Ed & Rick on Alan Michael's side. Suddenly, Caroline (Hope) comes down the aisle and sits behind Alan.

    Bailiff: (enters) ALL RISE!

    Judge Maxine DuBois (played by renowned Judge Mablean Ephriam) enters.

    Bailiff: This is case #754. The state of Illinois V. Spaulding.

    Bailiff hands her the case file.

    Judge DuBois: You may be seated.

    Everyone sits down.

    Judge DuBois: So we about Mr. Spaulding's charges for embezzlement.

    Alan glances at Caroline who smiles back at him. Her smile breaks Alan down.

    Jeffrey: Yes, ma'am we are.
    Judge: Ok. Shall we begin with the defense?
    Mel: Yes, your Honor.

    Alan stands up gaining the room's attention.

    Phillip: (whispering) Dad, what are you doing?
    Alan: (to Phillip) Shut up, boy. (to Judge) Your Honor, I have a confession to make.
    Judge: And what would that be Mr. Spaulding?
    Alan: I -- I -- MY SON IS INNOCENT!

    The room goes into an uproar at this statement. Rick utters "yes" in the background. Mel, amused by this revelation, shakes her head.

    Alan Michael: (to Mel) What is he doing?
    Mel: Telling the truth. I guess Ole' Caroline got through to him.

    Josh: I just got a call from one of Marah's friends. Marah is in the hospital.
    Reva: What?! (tearing up) Joshua, are kidding me? She's not--
    Josh: No she is fine. Just a broken leg and some bruises.

    Reva exhales and grabs hope to the counter to support her. Jeffrey consoles Reva.

    Jeff: What is going on?
    Josh: Marah was trapped in an avalanche.
    Reva: Oh my God...how is Sam?
    Jeff: Sam? You mean Sam Spencer? Olivia's brother?
    Reva: Yeah. Marah and some of her friends from Paris met Sam in Switzerland for a ski trip. (to Josh) How is Sam?
    Josh: Sam...Sam is dead.
    Jeff: Oh no.
    Reva: (simultaneously) Lord help us.
    Josh: He died saving Marah. He got her to safety when another rock slide took place. Marah was carried downhill while Sam was buried alive.
    Reva: Does Olivia know?
    Josh: No. I told her friends that I would personally tell Olivia.
    Reva: Poor Olivia. Besides Ava and Emma, Sam was all she had left.

    Jeffrey opens the door and starts to head out.

    Reva: Where are you going?

    Josh: Are you--
    Jeff: I am sure. Positively.
    Reva: But what about the barbecue?

    Jeffrey kisses Reva on the cheek.

    Jeff: Josh, you won't mind taking them, won't you?
    Josh: No problem.
    Jeff: Thanks. (to Reva) See you in a few.

    Jeffrey kisses Reva again on the cheek before heading out the door. Fear is riddled all over Reva's face. Josh quickly catches on and leans close to Reva.

    Trista: What the h--

    Trista removes her headphones and looks up towards the front of the bus as more people pack onto the bus. But one guy, one guy catches her eye. She is enamored by him. She can tell that somehow, he and her are destined to be together.

    At the other end of the bus, the guy, is non other than the long absent son, Rocky Cooper. With his tossed, honeycomb blond hair, he meets eyes with Trista. So much passion, so much innocence. They quickly shake off the dreamy glances and come back reality. He quickly makes his way up the aisle to Trista.

    Rocky: Can I join you?
    Trista: Sure.

    Trista moves her bag for Rocky to sit.

    We open up on the calm, cool, and blue water of the pool; however, the party is anything but.

    Paul's staff is scattered about, frantic, and setting up his birthday party. Some are hanging balloons and banners. Some are setting up food. The cook is off to the side tending to the grill. One of the maids is off to the side discussing what genre of music to play with the DJ.

    Standing on the terrace, watching it all with a clip board in her hand is Emily.

    Emily: We gotta hurry! Paul will be here any second. (glancing at watch) Oh God. Where is Allison with the cake?
    Allison (OC): Right here. Stress no more.

    Allison crosses from inside the house onto the terrace bearing a cake. Emily sighs with relief. This is one less thing she has to worry about.

    Allison: Where do you want it?
    Emily: (pointing) Put it over there with the presents. Just shove them to the side and put the cake front and center.
    Allison: Got it. Anything else?
    Emily: Did you get the candles?
    Allison: Yes.
    Emily: Forty?
    Allison: (now agitated) Yes.

    Allison produces a candle with the numbers "4" and "0." She hands them Emily.

    Allison: Better than lighting forty candles.

    Barbara sits at her desk. She turned away from the entrance as she is going over designs. Henry, donning a sly grin, slides into the room unbeknowest to her. He spins the chair towards him, grabs the designs from Barbara, and tosses them.

    Barbara: Henry!
    Henry: Hush, my love.

    Henry grabs Barbara and hoists her onto the desk, wrapping her legs around his waist. He begins to kiss her neck; however, we see that Barbara is not pleased by this love gesture, though she doesn't let Henry on.

    Barbara: Baby . . .
    Henry: (face buried into her neck) Yes.
    Barbara: Now is not the time for us to get it on.
    Henry: (pulling back) Why?
    Barbara: Umm . . . let's see . . . we have to attend Paul's birthday party.
    Henry: But that isn't for another 2 hours.
    Barbara: But I promised Emily I'd be there to help her.
    Henry: I doubt Emily Stewart needs any help. She's probably running a tight ship.
    Barbara: OK. But I also have to give the OK on these designs.
    Henry: OK . . . but why can't Carly or Lisa do it?
    Barbara: Because Queen is my line. That's the whole reason of us having three different, individual lines. Each vision is differ from the other. And you ought to know that vision is FAR differ from Lisa's and Carly's.

    Henry breaks away from their embrace and head for the door.

    Barbara: Hey! Where are you going?
    Henry: I'm going to head to the party and assist Emily, and leave you here to finish this up.
    Barbara: You didn't want to wait on me?
    Henry: No. You just finish this up, and I'll handle the party for you.
    Barbara: Thanks, honey.
    Henry: No problem.

    Barbara gets back to work as Henry watches her for second with a slight smile. He closes the door and his mood changes -- he's hurt from Barbara's rejection. Something more is going on . . .

    Ryder: If looks could kill . . .
    Meg: I'd have tons of bodies in my tracks. Now aren't you going to invite me in?

    Ryder moves to the side, making way for Meg to enter. She seductively enters with every curve of her body switching. Ryder likes this. He closes the door.

    Ryder: Is Paul going to be alright with me bringing you as my date?
    Meg: Why would he? Paul and I have been divorced for awhile now. He's shacked up to Emily.
    Ryder: Yeah . . . but you are the mother of his child.
    Meg: And that's it!

    Meg walks up to Ryder and gently strokes her fingers against his abs.

    Meg: You aren't worried about Paul are you?
    Ryder: No -- I mean I just don't want to rock the boat.
    Meg: Don't worry about Paul. If he says anything rude, I'll check him. Now go get ready.

    Ryder grins and goes into the bathroom. Meg has a seat on the sofa.

    Meg: (calling out) What do you have to drink in here?
    Ryder (OC): Water. Some soda. I think I have beer or two.
    Meg: How about drink before we leave?
    Ryder: Sure. Their over in the fridge.

    Meg gets up and head to the fridge. She pulls out two beers and puts them on the counter. She glances around the corner before taking one of the beers and pouring half of it out into the sink. She then digs into her and pulls out a small bottle of Jack Daniels. She mixes it in with the beer and shakes it a little. Then she tosses the small bottle of Jack Daniels into the trash.

    Ryder then bends around the corner and Meg hands him the mixed beer.

    Meg: (toasting) To new beginnings.
    Ryder: To new beginnings.

    Ryder downs the drink. Meg sips on her and watches as he downs his.

    On Meg with a scheming smile,

    FADE OUT



    FADE IN:

    EXT. FAIRWINDS (BACKYARD)

    Allison and Emily stand by the table where the presents are, watching on as the party is jumping. Music is blaring and people are dancing. Emily is pleased with final product.

    Allison: (leaning over through the loud music) Paul is going to love this.
    Emily: Oh he better.
    Allison: I know he will. That man lights up at anything you do.

    Emily is touched by this revelation -- on the verge of crying.

    Emily: Really?
    Allison: Yes he does. I just hope to find love like you have . . . again.
    Emily: You will. Trust me. Don't give up on love.
    Allison: I won't. And I won't give up on Casey either.

    Emily and Allison share a smile when Casey enters with Monique on his arm. MJ has Jami on his. Allison's smile drops.

    CUT TO

    INT. WALSH MANOR (LIBRARY)

    Lucinda sits in an armchair sipping on tea. The fire in the fire place illuminates the room. John, passing by, peeks his head into the room.

    John: I thought you were going to the party with me.
    Lucinda: I am or I'll get a driver to drop you off and bring me later.
    John: Why?
    Lucinda: I have a date this afternoon.
    John: (joking) You cheating on me already?
    Lucinda: Oh darling, don't start. It's a business date with Carter Wallace.

    John rolls his eyes.

    Lucinda: What was that?
    John: What?
    Lucinda: You rolling your eyes.
    John: I just don't see why you're supporting that man. He's like a used car-salesman. He's shady.
    Lucinda: And who should I be supporting? Tom Hughes?
    John: I don't see why not.
    Lucinda: (sighs) Just because he's your son-in-law . . .
    John: That isn't the only reason.
    Lucinda: Then what other reason? May I remind you that the last time he was in office, he stepped down from his position because he was "bored."
    John: It's called a mid-life crisis.
    Lucinda: Yes . . . I guess you can call it that.

    Matthew, Lucinda's butler, escorts Carter into the room. Lucinda stands up to greet him, shaking his hand.

    Lucinda: Please have a seat, Mr. Wallace.
    Carter: Why thank you, Ms. Walsh.

    Carter has a seat in the armchair across from Lucinda's. Lucinda looks at John waiting for him to introduce himself. After a few seconds, he gives in.

    John: (shaking Carter's hand) John Dixon. I'm voting the opposition, who happens to be my son-in-law.

    Lucinda gasps. She is appalled.

    John: I'll see you at the party.

    John kisses Lucinda on the forehead and leaves.

    Carter: Such a nice man.
    Lucinda: Forgive him.
    Carter: No harm done. He's just one vote. One monkey doesn't stop the show.
    Lucinda: So true. (handing him a check) Now here are the first of many contributions to your campaign.

    Carter reaches for the check when Lucinda snatches it away quickly. Carter is confused by this action.

    Lucinda: Now you see . . . we have a problem.
    Carter: We do?
    Lucinda: Yes.
    Carter: OK. Please share what the problem is.
    Lucinda: Your infatuation with an uncouth she-beast by the name of Lisa Grimaldi.
    Carter: I don't--
    Lucinda: Mr. Wallace, don't lie. If there is one thing I am good at, it's reading men. And when you see that woman, you melt into a puddle. Now if I am going to invest in your campaign, then I am going to need you to win. I don't toss away money for nothing.

    Lucinda hands him the check again.

    Lucinda: Don't cross me.
    Carter: I wouldn't dream of it.

    On a close shot of the two hands shaking,

    CUT TO

    EXT. FAIRWINDS

    The party is still going on, but we focus on Allison, who watches as Monique (dancing) back that a** up on Casey. Allison really becomes unnerved by this. Susan places a comforting hand on Allison's shoulder.

    Susan: Let it go.
    Allison: I can't. I won't. And I definetely won't let that wh*re have him.

    Monique comes off the dance and head to the table where Allison is standing, getting some juice.

    Allison: (to Mo) Loving this, huh?
    Mo: What?
    Allison: My sloppy seconds.
    Mo: Sloppy? I don't know if you'd associate Casey and sloppy together. Now you on the other hand . . .
    Susan: Hey you! Don't you dare insult my daughter!

    Casey, Jami, and MJ take notice and make their way over towards the table. So does Emily.

    Mo: Then tell that bi*ch to know her place.
    Casey: What is going on now?
    Mo: This stalker bi*ch is trying to stake her claim again.
    Allison: Stalker? I wasn't too much of a stalker because we were engaged.
    Mo: And?! You don't have him now.
    Emily: OK. What is going on?
    Casey: Your sister.
    Emily: You sure you and your posse aren't the problem.
    Casey: Oh I am sure.
    Allison: (to Casey) You're doing this to hurt me!
    Jami: (to Allison) And you're making a scene again! Chill out. He doesn't want you.
    Casey: Thank you!
    Emily: You know what, today is about is about my husband and if you all (pointing at Casey and his crew) are going to ruin it then leave.
    Barbara (OC): Is everything alright over here?

    Barbara joins the crowd.

    Emily: I want them out of here!
    Barbara: Emily . . .

    Suddenly, Paul emerges from the house. The crowd is silent and stunned to see him. Emily grabs the cake from the table and rushes over to Paul.

    Emily: Surprise!!

    On Paul not trying to laugh,

    BAUER BBQ PT2

    By NothinButAttitude,

    INT. LIMO - DAY
    (James/Phillip/Alex/Beth/Lizzie/Bill/Alan)

    Alexandra closes down her compact mirror to gaze over at Phillip, who is impatiently looking down at his watch.

    Alex: Looking down at that watch is not going to speed your father up. That man is going to do anything he can to avoid attending the barbecue.
    James: I say we leave without him.
    Lizzie: I second that motion. Why does Grandfather have to even go? We all know he hates the Bauers and vice versa. Let's just spare everyone the agony and leave him here.
    Phillip: Because he's going.
    Beth: Well I'd wish he'd hurry. Rick is waiting on us at the park to help set up.
    Phillip: I know. (glances at watch again) Where the hell is he?

    The limo door opens and Alan coldly slides in. The car takes off.

    Phillip: Glad you finally decided to join us, Dad.

    Alan doesn't react.

    Beth: Alan, are you ok?
    Alex: Yes, brother, are you ok? I mean I know you hate the Bauers but do you have to look so stone cold?
    Alan: I'M FINE. Can't a man just since in silence? (to James) Fix me a drink.

    James fixes Alan. He tries to go for a sip of it when Beth snatches it from him, handing it over to Alan.

    Alex: Well whatever has your panties in a bunch needs to happen more often if you are going to remain silent.
    Phillip: I am all for it.

    INT. CROSS CREEK - DAY

    Reva stand in front of the mirror adjusting her hat when Jeffrey walks up behind her, wrapping his arms around her.

    Reva: What, Jeffrey?
    Jeff: Nothing. Just realizing how lucky I am.
    Reva: Umm Hhmm. Whatever. You are still worried about me accepting that position with Lewis Construction.
    Jeffrey: No...why would I be worried.

    Reva breaks free of Jeffery's grip, facing off with him. She gives off that she is onto him.

    Reva: O'Neill, I know you are worried about me and Josh working together again...
    Jeff: Again, why would I be worried?
    Reva: I don't know but you have been moping around this house for past few days since Josh offered the position back.
    Jeff: Reva--
    Reva: Look -- if you don't want me to take the job then just say so.
    Jeff: I'm just worried about Colin. That's all.
    Reva: Lewis has a nursery.
    Jeff: That Josh just recently had installed.
    Reva: (throwing her hands up in defeat) Here we go.
    Jeff: What do you mean, here we go?
    Reva: Just admit it, Jeffery! You are jealous of--

    Josh barges into the house, distraught.

    Josh: Reva, Marah is in trouble.

    And on Reva's uneasiness,
