    INT. CROSS CREEK - DAY

    Marah enters followed by Shayne with Henry. The two hang their coats on the rack.

    Marah: Mom! Mom, where are you?

    Reva: Come in the living room, kids.

    Shayne and Marah come into the living room to spot Reva standing in the center of the room with a grin on her face.

    Marah: Mom, what did you want?

    Reva: I have a surprise for the both of you.

    Shayne: A surprise? From you? (to Marah) ...I'm scared.

    Reva pops Shayne on the arm.

    Reva: Oh funny. You're such a jokester.

    Reva takes Henry and puts him in the play pen with Colin.

    Reva: Seriously, I have a surprise for the both of you. You're gonna love it.

    Marah: Unless its a time machine that can spin back the hands of time then I don't want it.

    Hawk: (O.C) Then will Father Time do, dear?

    Marah and Shayne are giddy at the sound of the voice. Hawk pops out the closet.

    Reva: Surprise!

    Marah becomes emotional and falls into her grandpa's arms. Hawk is speechless at Marah's action. And he consoles her by caressing her hair.

    Hawk: Marah, honey, why are you crying?

    Marah: Just happy. So happy to see you.

    Hawk: Well so am I. But I am no one special to cry over.

    Marah: I doubt that.

    Hawk leads Marah to the couch where they sit. The two lock hands, like the bond they share.

    Marah: Oh Gramps, I have missed you.

    Hawk: Well worry no more. I have more good news for you.

    Shayne: (sitting on the arm of the couch) And what could that be?

    Hawk: Your Uncle Rusty is here--

    Marah gasps.

    Hawk: And we've decided to move back Springfield -- just for now. No long terms but just to try and bring the family back together.

    Marah: That's great! -- (downplaying her joy) I mean OK. What about Aunt Roxie.

    Hawk: Roxie, unfortunately won't be able to join us. But she sends her love. She and Johnny are going to stay in Tulsa so she can be near her doctors. But she does promise to come and visit, hopefully for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

    Marah: Good.

    Reva starts to tear up at the sight of her family together. Hawk takes notice.

    Hawk: Oh, Sister! You too?!

    Reva: Dad, I'm sorry. Just seeing four generations of Shaynes in this room makes me wanna cry.

    Hawk: Oh brother...

    INT. COMPANY - DAY

    Frank stands at the counter drinking coffee when Rusty comes up and taps him on the shoulder.

    Frank: What the-- Rusty?

    Rusty: In the flesh.

    The two hug it out.

    Frank: What are you doing here?

    Rusty: Dad and I decided to come back Springfield for awhile -- to kind of help out with the family.

    Frank: Good. Glad to have you back. Maybe we can get you back at the police station.

    Rusty: I don't know about that...

    Frank: Oh come on.

    Rocky and Trista enter, arguing.

    Rocky: See I told you. I told you about those Spauldings.

    Trista: You don't have to tell me twice. He had the nerve to demote me to the advice column.

    Rocky: Typical Spaulding. Wielding his ample power when feeling threatened.

    Trista: Who you telling. But I am going to go into the bathroom to switch into my uniform. I'll be back out shortly.

    Trista runs off to the ladies' room.

    Frank peeks around Rusty to see what the commotion to see Rocky and Trista.

    Frank: (to Rusty) I want you to meet someone. Hey, Rocky! Come here.

    Rocky advances towards Rusty and Frank.

    Frank: You remember, Rusty don't you?

    Rocky: I do. (shakes Rusty hand)

    Rusty: My have you grown. Last time I saw you was--

    Rocky: Around the time my mom died.

    Rusty: Yeah.

    Trista comes out the bathroom now in her uniform.

    Rocky: Hey, Rusty, meet my friend, Trista.

    Rusty spins around to face Trista. At the sight of Rusty, Trista become a deer in headlights. Stunned, motionless.

    FLASHBACK SEQUENCE -- TRISTA'S ATTIC

    Trista (around 4) goes through a chest filled with pictures, clothes, etc. She pulls out a dusty photo of a young Laurel and Rusty. (NOTE: After he left the show back in 1989). Trista hands it to her mother, Laurel.

    Trista: Mommy, who is this?

    Laurel: Honey, that is your father.

    Trista: My daddy? You mean I do have a daddy?

    Laurel: Yes baby.

    Trista: Then where is he? Why isn't he here with me.

    Laurel: Baby, its complicated. But one day when you are older I will tell you the truth. Promise.

    Trista: Promise?

    Laurel: I promise...

    END OF FLASHBACK

    Rocky: Trista! Trista are you OK?

    Trista: I don't know. But I think I am now...

    And on Rusty smiling, and Trista in a daze,

    INT. COMPANY - DAY

    Harley sits in a booth alone sipping on coffee as Mel enters, glowing. Harley looks from behind her paper to notice Mel. Mel smile at her and Harley waves for her to come over. Mel walks over and joins her at the booth.

    Mel: Hey you. What is going on as of late?

    Harley: Nothing much. Just slowly settling back into life in Springfield. Who knew leaving here and coming back would be so hard.

    Mel: Well life goes on.

    Harley: That is does. It does so much that you've got a new man.

    Mel tenses up.

    Mel: So -- So you know about me and-

    Harley: Cyrus? Yep. Rick told me about you two.

    Mel: He did!

    Harley: Mel, calm down. It's fine with me.

    Mel: No that is not the point. He has not right to tell you. If anything you should've heard about it from me.

    Harley: Hey, hey, if it makes you feel better, Rick only mentioned it while he was having a rant. A jealous one at that.

    Mel: I don't care about what he was having. He needs to mind his own damn business. When he signed his John Hancock to the divorce papers, I was wiped cleaned of him telling me what to do. The only thing we have in common now is Leah -- only Leah. My personal life is off limits to him.

    Harley: Now, Mel--

    Harley looks over at the entrance where now Rick enters looking around. Harley gestures Rick to leave but Rick stand there confused. Mel spins around to see Rick.

    Mel: Oh no. Call him over here now.

    Harley: Mel...

    Mel: No. Call him.

    Mel waves for Rick to come over. Rick does as he is told and joins them.

    Rick: Hey everyone. What is going on?

    Harley: Nothing...

    Harley anxiously sips her coffee.

    Mel: Well apparently you told Harley about me and Cyrus.

    Rick searches for an answer.

    Mel: No need for you to come up with some excuse. You've been caught. Might as well fess up.

    Rick: Mel, regardless you are the mother of my child and anything that affects Leah affects me.

    Mel: (laughs) Funny. So funny. Now if you care so much about me when we were married and you were screwing Beth...

    Harley rises up.

    Harley: Maybe I should leave...

    Mel pulls her back down.

    Mel: How about not. You're in it now. Thanks to this nosy bastard.

    Rick: Nosy? I wouldn't have to be so nosy if you weren't sleeping with Foley.

    Mel: I can sleep with whoever the hell I want?!

    Everyone in the restaurant watches on.

    Mel: (getting up) And may I add, last night I had the most incredible sex with Foley. Better than anything I had with you. The man oozes passion and loyalty -- something you to learn from him. He is a real man.

    Rick: A real criminal.

    Harley: Dear God. Mel, please sit down. Rick, stop.

    Mel: Oh no worries. I am about to leave anyways. Gotta date with Cyrus. Another rump in the sheets. Adios.

    Mel exits. Rick sits in silence, raging hot mad.

    Harley: That was so my fault...

    Rick: Of course.

    EXT. COMPANY - DAY

    Mel skyrockets down the sidewalk and in a blind rage bumps into Cyrus.

    Cyrus: Ouch. (noticing Mel) Hey what is wrong?

    Mel: Let's go.

    Cyrus: But I thought we were going to eat at Company.

    Mel: Not to today. Rick is in there. And he has been telling people about you and me.

    Cyrus: ...And the issue is?

    Mel: It's none of his business. Can we just go? Go to Towers.

    Cyrus: It's not gonna matter. You can't escape him. It is not like you can escape him unless you leave Springfield.

    Mel: Do you wanna do that? I am all for it.

    Cyrus: No. We are not gonna run from Rick. We'll just deal with him. OK?

    Mel looks into Cyrus' eyes for solace. He smiles at her reassuring her things will be just fine.

    Mel: OK. I trust you. I trust you.

    Cyrus: Good. I'm glad you do.

    Cyrus and Mel hug. And on Cyrus' smile turning into uncertainty,



    FADE OUT


    COMING UP ON THE FINAL HALF:

    - Hawk reunites with his grandchildren.
    - Rusty meets someone that affects his future

    ON THE NEXT TGL:

    INT. CROSS CREEK – DAY – CONTINUATION



    Rusty and Hawk sit on the sofa playing with Colin when Reva comes in the room with a pot of coffee.



    Hawk: My has he grown! He just keeps getting bigger and bigger by the second. Must be that Shayne gene in em’. You know Rusty and Reva, all three of you were big babies too.



    Reva: (jokingly) I beg to differ. I was small and petit.



    Hawk: Oh whatever, sister.



    They all share a laugh.

    Rusty: So where did Jeffrey go?



    Reva: Who cares. I don’t.



    Hawk: Uh oh. What now?



    Reva: Nothing.



    Hawk: Nothing my behind. Reva, now you tell your daddy what is botherin’ you. Ya’ hear me now.



    Reva: Pa ain’t nothin’ wrong.



    Hawk: You lying, Reva.



    Reva: Daddy!



    Hawk: Well fine. I won’t ask you anymore.



    Reva: Good. Let’s drop it. We have better things to talk about beside Jeffrey.



    Rusty: Like you getting your old job back at Lewis Construction?



    Reva: (pouring coffee in their mugs) How did you know about that? Did Joshua call you and tell you?



    Rusty: No, Billy did.



    Reva: That ole loud mouth. I wanted to share the news with you all.



    Hawk: Who cares? I wanna know why you and Jeffrey are going at it and I wanna know now!



    Reva & Rusty: Pa!



    Hawk: Oh don’t you two think you are going to gang up on me. Not gonna work. Back then, yes. But now, no.



    Rusty: Pa, she said to drop it. (sips his coffee) Take the hint.



    Hawk: Well that is thing…I don’t take the hint. When I wanna know something, I get to the bottom of it and Reva – you should understand that all the meddling you do.



    Reva: (taken aback) Me? Meddlesome.



    Hawk: Yes you.



    Reva: You’re not going to drop this until I tell you, won’t you?



    Hawk: Nope. (slides forward in his seat) Now get to talkin’ sister.



    Rusty: Dad, please. If Reva doesn’t want to tell you about Jeffrey trying to help Olivia toss Marah out the funeral then oh well…



    Reva: How did you know that!



    Hawk: (overlapping) What!



    Rusty: Oops…



    Reva: How did you know that? Joshua? Billy? Cassie?



    Rusty: No, Frank.



    Reva: Uggh!! Can’t people in this town keep their mouth shut for once.



    Hawk: Forget that, sister. I can’t believe that O’Neill tried to have Marah tossed out the church – I should’ve tossed him out on his keister when he was here -- (coming the realization) and why didn’t you say anything till now, Rusty boy?



    Rusty: Dad, it was none of your business.



    Hawk: Like hell it wasn’t. How about when you have kids and they get in trouble – then you tell me it’s not your business.

    INT. SPRINGFIELD U – DAY - NEWSROOM




    Trista approaches a door that reads “THE COUGAR TELEGRAPH.” She opens the door to enter inside the school newspaper office where her fellow peers work about on the paper.



    James stands at the helm of the room overlooking everything and quickly notices Trista sliding into the room.



    James: You’re late, Tucker.



    Trista: By a minute!



    James: And a lot can happen in a minute. Now you whined about me letting you get onto the staff and you can’t even do a single thing such as showing up on time?



    Trista: Someone is being very melodramatic…



    James: Call it what you want but I want our school to lead other schools in the state when it comes to the news. Apparently you don’t have the same drive.



    Trista: I do.



    James: Then why are you late?



    Trista: I had to help a friend?



    James: Who? Rocky? That boy—



    Trista: Oh shut up. It wasn’t Rocky. It was Kevin.



    James: Kevin? Kevin Marler?



    Trista: Yes, Kevin Marler. You know the guy who happens to be your cousin.



    James: I know that. But what is wrong with Kevin?



    Trista: He wouldn’t tell me.



    James: Then there was probably no problem. See if you had that initiative to figure out what is wrong with your friends and aim that at the paper—



    Trista: Oh shut up, James.



    Trista walks away from James to her station where she flicks on her computer.



    James: You know you are going to pay for this.



    Trista: You running your mouth and barking out orders is punishment enough.



    James: That is not what I am talking about.



    James reaches over and grabs a big mail sack and tosses it on Trista’s desk. Trista’s jaw drop because she knows that James is about to do.



    Trista: YOU’RE DEMOTING ME TO THE ADVICE COLUMN?!



    James: As editor of this paper it is my duty to demote anyone that gets out of line and done not pull their slack – so yes if that answers your question. I am demoting you. Have funny, Trista – or should I say Abby?



    James walks off laughing but Trista is not going to stand for this. She chases after him.



    Trista: Why? Why are you doing this to me? I should tell Daisy!



    James: Tell her. Not like she’s going to change my opinion on this. You’re doing the advice column and that is it. Deal with it.



    Trista slams her fists on the table.



    Trista: No! Oh no! I’m one of the best damn reporters on the staff. Better than you might I add.

    James: Oh really?



    Trista: Really! We all know you only got appointed to the position because you’re granddad sits on the school board. Everyone knows that a SENIOR should be editor. Not a freshman.



    James: My granddad had nothing to do with me getting this position.



    Trista: Oh please. You can fool Daisy with that drivel you spit out but not me. Not Trista Tucker!



    James: Get to work.



    James sits at his desk.



    Trista: Fine. I’ll do the damn advice column, James, just to show you that I am not only a better writer than you but versatile as well.



    James: Good. Then do it.



    Trista storms off. Scott, James’ friend and fellow journalist advances toward him.



    Scott: Here you go.



    Scott hands James his article. James snatches it.



    James: She has the nerve—did you hear her allegations? My granddad helped me get on this paper. Get real?



    Scott: James…



    James: What?



    Scott: Now we have been friends since we went to Lincoln Prep together and I have been nothing but honest with you, right?



    James: Where are you going with this?



    Scott: I think you like her.



    James: (buried in the article) Who?



    Scott: Trista.



    James shoots a menacingly look at Scott.



    James: Are you on crack?



    Scott: No…Just calling things the way I see it.



    James hands Scott back his article. Scott walks away leaving James, uncomfortable.



    James: Me? Like Tucker?



    James looks over in Tirsta’s direction. Trista, not noticing James watching her, pours the bag of mail on her station. The mass of mail causes her to moan.



    James: …Nah.



    James looks back at Trista and forms a smile on his face. A loving smile.

    INT. SPRINGFIELD UNIVERSITY - DAY - HALLWAY

    Trista scurries inside when she notices Kevin sluggishly moving down the hallway. Trista slows down watching Kevin. Kevin peeks through a classroom window, a lab. Trista approaches Kevin and taps him on the shoulder. Kevin jumps up in fear.

    Kevin: God you scared me!

    Trista: What are you doing? I thought you had constitutional law now.

    Kevin: I do.

    Trista: And you're standing here because...?

    Kevin: I wanted to skip class ok?

    Kevin starts to walk away. Trista peers into the window Kevin was looking into and then follows him down the hallway.

    Trista: Then why were you looking inside the medical lab?

    Kevin stops, forming a grin on his face.

    Kevin: Are you always so nosey, Nancy Drew?

    Trista: Ha. Ha. Funny. Nancy Drew has nothing on me. But seriously, what were you looking at?

    Kevin: Nothing. I was seeing if my friend was in class.

    Trista: (not convinced) Mmm hmm. Yeah.

    Kevin: You don't believe me?

    Trista: Nope. My journalistic and womanly intuitions are telling me otherwise.

    Kevin: Then you might want to have them checked out.

    Kevin takes off down the hall again.

    Trista: By who? You?

    Kevin stops and turns to Trista.

    Kevin: What is that suppose to mean?

    Trista: For some odd reason, I am getting this feeling that you aren't happy or satisfied with your major.

    Kevin: Guess what? You're wrong. I happen to love studying law.

    Kevin takes off.

    Trista: (hollering down the hall) Then why are you skipping class?

    Kevin: Goodbye, Trista.

    Trista stands alone not convinced, and

    Jeffrey sits on the couch reading the paper as Reva, carrying Colin, comes down the stairs. Jeffrey looks away from his paper at Reva, who apparently is ignoring him.

    Jeff: So are we still not talking to each other?

    Reva ignores Jeffrey and places Colin in his play pen.

    Jeff: So that is how it is going to be for now on?

    Reva cuts a mean glare at Jeffrey and goes into the kitchen.

    Jeff: Fine, Reva. Fine. Two can play that game.

    Jeffrey tosses the paper on the floor and grabs his briefcase.

    Jeff: I am going to the office where I know I am appreciated.

    Jeffrey goes over to the play pen where he leans over and watches Colin teething on his teething ring.

    Jeff: You love me. Don't you, sonny boy?

    Jeffrey winks at Colin and heads to the door. Jeffrey opens the door reveal Hawk and Rusty standing in the doorway in their cowboy attire.

    Jeff: Hawk? Rusty?

    Hawk: O'Neill!

    Hawk hugs Jeffrey, who is astonished to see them.

    Reva: (O.C) Pa! Pa is that you?

    Hawk: Sister! Sister, where are you?

    Reva runs to the door pushing Jeffrey out the way. She rushes into Hawk's arms.

    Reva: Aww, Daddy! I am so glad to see you.

    Rusty waves at Reva.

    Reva: (breaking free of Hawk) Rusty!!

    Reva hugs Rusty tightly.

    Reva: What are you two doing here?

    Rusty and Hawk look at each other and then their bags on the ground nearby. Reva follows their glances, placing the pieces together.

    Reva: No…

    Hawk: Yep. We are--

    Reva: You guys are moving back to Springfield?!

    Rusty: (holding his arms out) We're back.

    I have been informed & have seen your comments but the issue is that you all cannot see them. There are so many issues with this blog that I am currently addressing with the mods when they decide to answer to back. Bear with me. And finally, please pass the word around readers about the great shows here on SON. There are so many talented writer but so little readers and writers. Please pass the word along if you post on other boards with huge amounts of posters and guests. We have to keep this place rejuvenated with fresh readers and stories.

    Leah stands in front of the mirror gently stroking her hair with her brush. Her mind begins to drift off on what happened last night...

    FLASHBACK SEQUENCE - LEAH & GRADY

    Leah: Let me go! Let me go, Grady. Please. I -- I will give you anything you want. You want money, I have money.
    Grady: I don't need any money from you. I have my sources...
    Leah: Then what can I do to help you. I'll -- I'll do anything. You tell me.

    Grady's ponders for a second and then his face lights up.

    Grady: You. You -- I can use you to help me with Spaulding.
    Leah: What?
    Grady: I can use you to help me get one over on Spaulding.
    Leah: You mean Alan?
    Grady: No, Phillip.

    Leah is puzzled by this statement.

    Leah: Why are you so adamant about Phillip?

    Grady pulls back his hair to reveal a scar to her. Leah cringes at the sight of the grizzly, !@#$%^&*] scar.

    Leah: What happened to you?
    Grady: Phillip Spaulding and that is all I can tell you now.
    Leah: But if you want me to help you, you should tell me everything.
    Grady: How about you just shut up and do as I say.
    Leah: Ok...

    Grady releases her and pushes her away from him.

    Grady: And plus this should be what you want.
    Leah: I want? What do you mean what I want?
    Grady: Vengeance.
    Leah: For what?
    Grady: If it wasn't for Phillip, Rick would not have lied to your mother about helping Phillip escape the country.

    Leah starts to fume at the reminder of this. Grady walks up behind her and whispers in her ear, assuming control.

    Grady: This your chance to get one over on him. Your chance to pay Phillip back for the misery he has caused you. Come on Leah, join me. Join me...

    Cyrus: My God. I have never seen something so beautiful in my life.
    Mel: Then make love to me. Take me now. I am yours.

    Mel willingly stretches across the bed. Cyrus turns away, dejecting her. Mel notices this and his hurt.

    Mel: I thought you said I was beautiful? What is wrong?
    Cyrus: I don't know -- are we moving too fast? Mel, should we be doing this?
    Mel: ...Umm YEAH! I have not had any in a long time and I desperately need it.

    Mel grabs Cyrus by the hand, turning him back to her.

    Mel: Cyrus, we can't deny our passion any longer. We just can't.

    Beth: A little? Try a lot. India returning has totally brought my day down.

    Caroline joins Beth on the swing.

    Caroline: What is it about this...India woman? Who is she to Alan -- I mean Mr. Spaulding?

    Beth gives Caroline a friendly pat on her leg.

    Beth: You really care about, Alan. Don't you?
    Caroline: Why -- uh yes. He is my boss. I have a right to care, don't I?
    Beth: You do. But you shouldn't. Now that India is back in town, Alan is going to use this to his advantage. And that woman -- (starts to seethes) That woman! She is going to wreak havoc on us all. India is nothing but trouble. Everything she does is either motivated by money or vengeance.
    Caroline: But she claims to love Phillip and Alan.

She tried everything she could to get Phillip to get over me but her plan failed. Then she went for Alan and they become lovers but it never went further than that. That woman is just sick.

    The sound of a key opening a door is heard and enters Leah.

    Leah: Damn its dark in here. Mom! Mom are you here!

    Leah flicks the light switch on next to the door. She tosses her coat and bag next to the door and closes the door.

    No answer back. Leah starts to panic.

    BANG! Another sound is heard. Leah squats down on the ground, distraught.

    Leah: Ok. So I know it came from the basement.

    Leah creeps over to the counter and grabs a knife.

    Leah: Please let this be Mom.

    Leah opens the door to the basement and

    INT. BASEMENT

    flicks on the light where she stands at the top of the stairs.

    Leah: Who is there?

    No answer.

    Leah: Aww damn...

    Leah slowly makes her way down the stairs breathing heavily. She clutches the knife tightly to her side with dear life. She stops at the bottom of the stair and flicks on another light switch which lights up the bottom half of the basement.

    Leah: Who is in here?

    Grady, leaned up against the side bookshelf, watches on. Then a book falls from the shelf. Leah aims the knife at the shelf.

    Leah: Come out dammit or I will --
    Grady: You will do what?

    Grady comes from behind the bookshelf.

    Grady: Gut me like a fish?
    Leah: Who the hell are you?

    She eyes him down and suddenly her face drops as she remembers who he is.

    Leah: You -- you're Grady...
    Grady: (in a game show host voice) CORRECT!!

    Grady grabs Leah and draws her in near to him. He takes the knife from her and holds it to her throat as he places his hand over her mouth.

    Grady: Looks like you got yourself into some trouble, sweet pea.

    And on Leah panicking,

    INT. SPD - DAY - HOLDING CELLS



    India and Dorrie sit in silence as they hear footsteps coming down the hallway. India gets up and squeezes her head down the hall to notice an officer and a man in a trench coat and hat walking towards them. The man looks up at India to reveal its Alan.

    India: Alan! I knew you would come to save me. I just knew it.
    Officer: You have ten minutes, Mr. Spaulding.

    Alan shoos the officer away as he reaches through the bars, grabbing India's hands in a comforting manner.

    Alan: Could you ever really doubt me?
    India: Not for one second.
    Dorrie: (in the background) Is he going to get us out of here or what? It's disgusting and vile back here.
    Alan: No worries, I will have you out in a few.

    Alan releases India's hands and head to the front of the police station. He smiles at her to give her some hope.

    INT. CRIMINAL PROCESSING

    The room is bustling with a crowd of officers running about doing their usual duties: writing reports, booking criminals. Alan interrupts Frank who is conversing with another officer.

    Alan: I need to speak with you.
    Frank: Don't you see I am busy.

    Frank heads off towards his office with Alan tailing behind him.

    Alan: I don't care.
    Frank: Alan, if this about India, the proof is in the pudding. She committed a crime and now she has to deal with the consquences.
    Alan: It was a simple mistake. Just call up that Gary guy and we can settle this here.
    Frank: I don't think so. If you are thinking about bribing him, you can forget about it.
    Alan: (scoff) I cannot believe you said that.
    Frank: I did.

    Frank enters his office, turns around and slams the door in Alan's face.

    Alan: You will pay for this, Cooper.

    Suddenly, Alan's attention is caught by an officer and a man (Gary) standing at the counter.

    Officer: Mr. Gary, we have your limo parked in the cage if you want an officer to go and retrieve it for you.
    Gary: That would be so nice.
    Officer: Wait here.

    The Officer walks off. Gary waits patiently as Alan stalks him like a lion to a gazelle, waiting for the right time to attack, well approach him in this case.

    Alan: (approaching him) You must be Gary.
    Gary: Yeah. And you are?
    Alan: Alan. Alan Spaulding.
    Gary: Of Spaulding Enterprises?!
    Alan: Yes.

    Gary takes Alan's hand and shakes it aggressively.

    Gary: So nice to meet you, Mr. Spaulding.
    Alan: You too. Now I need you to do me a favor.

    Alan gestures Gary to follow him to a corner where Alan says some words we can't make out but when Alan whips out a check and the expression of Gary's face fills it in for all of us.

    Frank emerges from his office to find Alan and Gary together. Frank storms over to them.

    Frank: Alan, what are you doing!
    Gary: (putting the check away) Nothing. We were just talking. Mr. Spaulding was just requesting my expertise for when the next Spaulding board meeting. He needed some limos to ride the board members in and I couldn't say no.
    Frank: Alan...
    Gary: Oh and Mr. Cooper, I need you to go and drop those charges against the Von Halkein women.

    Frank is speechless.

    Gary: I see no real harm was done and the limo I am sure is in fine condition.
    Alan: And if it isn't you can call me for repairs.
    Gary: I will.

    The Officer reenters.

    Ofifcer: (handing keys) Here you go, Mr. Gary.
    Gary: Thank you. You all have a blessed day. Oh, and Mr. Cooper, you can fax me any paperwork that I need to sign about dropping those charges. Good day everyone.

    Gary walks out. Frank is livid and this point while Alan is happy that once again, money solved another problem.

    Alan: You can go and release them.
    Frank: (to Officer) Draw up the paperwork and have another officer go back there and release India and Dorrie.
    Officer: Alright, Sir.

    The officer walks off doing as they are told.

    Frank: So you win again.
    Alan: Till next time.

    Frank walks back into his office and slams the door.

    Alan: And who says that Franklin could never solve anything...

    INT. MEL'S BASEMENT – DAY

    Cyrus and Grady ease down the stairs quickly and quietly.

    Cyrus: Hurry. I don't want Mel to catch us.

    Grady: (stops) Does it even matter? It's not like Mel is actually going to turn me in.

    Cyrus: Don't be so sure of that. (grabs Grady by the arm) Now come on!

    Cyrus drags him down the stairs when the door opens from the top of the stairs. Cyrus swings Grady off to the side out of sight. Standing at the top of the stairs is Mel.

    Mel: (coming down the stairs) Hey you.

    Cyrus: Hello to you. (panicking) Umm…don't come down here! Stay where you are at.

    Mel is mystified by this.

    Mel: Why? Is something wrong? (rushes down the stairs) Is something wrong?

    Cyrus rushes back up the stairs where he meets Mel. He places his arms out to block her.

    Cyrus: I don't want you down here due to I am about to place mouse traps down. I don't want you to get hurt.

    Mel: How could a mouse trap hurt me? I think I can spot one.

    Cyrus: Yeah but I also sprayed down here too and I don't want you to inhale the fumes.

    Mel: Well then you should not be down here either?

    Grady rolls his eyes.

    Cyrus: (agitated) Mel…

    Mel: What is going on here? It's as if you are hiding something from me.

    Cyrus: (boastful laugh) What? Are you kidding me? Me? What do I have to hide?

    Mel: I don't know. You tell me?

    Cyrus' impatience runs out and he plants a deep, passionate kiss on Mel. Grady watches from within the cracks of the bookcase. He cringes at the sight of this. Mel breaks the kiss, confused by this action.

    Mel: (gently rubbing her lips) What was that?

    Cyrus: A kiss. Did you not like it?

    Mel: No! No! It was nice. I'm -- I'm just taken back by this.

    Cyrus: I am glad that it was good. I want to show you more.

    Mel: (holding her hand out) Then let me lead the way.

    Mel guides Cyrus up the stairs. Grady and Cyrus exchange looks before Cyrus closes the door.

    Grady: Lucky bastard…



    CUT TO

    INT. DINING ROOM – DAY

    Alex: Last time I checked, the boys were out on the terrace.

    Alan: (getting up) Maybe I should go and check on them.

    Alex pulls Alan back down.

    Alex: How about you stay in your lane and don't worry about them. See that's your problem, you always worry about everybody else situation but your own.

    A-M: (O.C) I agree.

    Alan Michael and Phillip walk back in the room with their arms on each other shoulders. Everyone watches on overjoyed. All but Alan.

    Phillip: Sorry we are late. We had a heart to heart.

    Alex: No problem. Just glad to see you two getting along and not at each other throats unlike other siblings I know.

    Alex cuts her eyes at Alan.

    Beth: (gesturing) Join us.

    Phillip grabs a seat next to Beth while Alan Michael sits next to Alex. Caroline starts to walk out the room when,

    Lizzie: Caroline, aren't you going to join us also?

    Caroline: Oh no. I'm sure there is some filing that needs to be done.

    Alan: There is.

    Alex: Then too bad because Caroline is going to join us. (to Caroline) Have a seat.

    Caroline does as she is told and has a seat next to Alan Michael.

    Alex: See now. Even though we are dysfunctional, we all can sit down have a dinner together.

    Alan: (groaning) Oh please. This day just keeps getting worse and—

    India and Dorrie barge into the room to the delight of no one. Alex stands up bewildered and frustrated. On the other hand, Alan is delighted by the sight of India.

    Alex: India!

    Beth: Looks like this day has been shot to hell…

    Alan: No, I think it has just gotten better.

    India pants heavily. We can tell that her adrenaline is still running high.

    India: Stepmother dearest, how are you?

    Alex: India, what is going -- oh -- what -- ooo girl, what are you doing here?

    India: Well can't your favorite stepdaughter—

    Alex: My only and not so favorite—

    India: Ok then. Can I just get a hello?

    Alex: Hello. Now leave.

    India: Oh you're not serious.

    India gracefully sits in a vacant seat at the table.

    Alex: As a heart attack.

    India: (chortles) Then someone is about to have a heart attack because I have news for you all.

    Phillip: Oh God…

    India: Phillip, come on. I thought we were on good terms.

    Phillip: You thought wrong.

    India: Fine then. You all are just going to have to deal with me more now that I am moving back to Springfield.

    Alex clutches her chest in pain.

    Alex: Dear God. He is punishing me. Why, why, WHY!!!

    Alan: Oh stop, Alex.

    Alan snatches her hand away from her chest.

    Beth: India, why is your motive? What do you want now? Phillip? Alan? Money?

    Caroline: (leaning into Alan Michael, whispering) Who is this woman?

    A-M: India Von Halkein. One of Phillip's many ex-wives and Alan's lovers.

    Caroline: (jealous) Oh…

    India: (to Beth) Everything I do does not have to be money motivated.

    Beth: I doubt that seriously. You are nothing more than a gold-digger.

    Dorrie: I will not let you talk to my mother like that!

    India: Oh Dorrie, ignore Beth. She can call me anything she wants but she knows at the end of the day I have more class than she will on her best day. Beth Raines is nothing more than a piece of trash from the wrong side of the tracks.

    Alex: India!

    James: (overlapping) Hey!

    Lizzie: (overlapping) How dare you!

    Phillip: I will not allow you to sit at this table, India and talk to the mother of my children that way.

    India: Put a cork in, Phillip. Beth should be use to being called trash.

    Alex: I want her out! I. WANT. HER. OUT!!

    Dorrie: (tugging at India's arm) Let's go, Mother.

    India: Fine. My daughter and I will leave this house but we won't leave Springfield or Spaulding Enterprises.

    Phillip: You have no position at Spaulding Enterprises. The foundation had cut backs and we know for a fact that you were released.

    India slowly paces around the table.

    India: So true but that isn't the only position I have at Spaulding.

    Alan grins from ear to ear like a Cheshire cat.

    India positions herself behind Phillip's chair and leans in close to his ear.

    India: Have you forgotten that I still have seat on the board?

    Alex: Heaven help us.

    India: Which means that I still wield some power. The only way you will be able to get that seat back is if you buy it from me at my price. And I am sure you all don't want to buy me out at the high price I am willing to sell it for during this horrible recession.

    Alex: Try me. How much do you want to sell the seat for?

    India: 15 million!

    The room goes into a ruckus.

    Phillip: 15 million! What? India—

    Alex: Never. I will never pay for that. We find another way to get you off the board.

    India: And I will sue you. I gave you my price. Take it or leave it.

    Hilda the Maid enters.

    Hilda: Mr. Spaulding, I am sorry to interrupt but Mr. Cooper is here.

    Alan: Buzz?

    Hilda: No. Mr. Frank Cooper.

    Alan: Let him in.

    Hilda nods her head and gesture Frank to enter. Frank is followed by two other uniformed cops.

    Frank: Sorry to interrupt this dinner but we have been contacted by Gary's Limo that a limo of his has been stolen.

    India and Dorrie's eyes widen as they share a glance.

    Alan: I'm sorry but all of my limo's are owned by me.

    Frank: I know. But the limo that India arrived in was not.

    Frank smiles at a tense India.

    Frank: You wouldn't've stolen a limo would you, India?

    India: No. How dare you make such an accusation?

    Frank: India…they presented us with a bounced check, along with the limo number you took and its license plate. Just happens to be the one in the drive way.

    India: So what? Anyone could've put that there.

    Alex: Someone is a bit of a kleptomaniac.

    Frank: (pointing at India) Get her.

    The cops whip out their cuffs and walk over towards India and Dorrie.

    India: This -- this is a mistake.

    Frank: Read them their rights.

    India: Do you all know who I am! My father was the Baron of Andorra!

    Dorrie: Mother, shut up.

    The cops cuff India and Dorrie.

    Cop #1: India and Dorrie Von Halkein, you are under arrest for grand theft auto.

    Dorrie and India: WHAT?!

    Cop #2: Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of the law. You have the right to an attorney. If you can't provide yourself with one, one will be provided to you.

    India: This is a travesty! I am innocent!

    Phillip: Sure, India. Sure.

    Frank: Take them to the car.

    The cops escort India and Dorrie out.

    India: (O.C) Alan! Alan, help me!

    Frank: Sorry to interrupt, you all may go back to doing what you were doing.

    Alex: Thank you, Frank.

    Frank exits.

    Alex: Grand theft auto. Beth, you are a lawyer, how many years is that?

    Beth: 3 to 5.

    Alex: Good. According to the Spaulding Board Members handbook, a felony equals automatic expulsion from the board.

    Alan: If they are found guilty. Plus the expulsion is up to the present CEO of the company, which is me.

    Alex: What are you up to Alan?

    Alan: I happen to like India. And I want her to stay on the board.

    Alan gets up and heads for the door.

    Alex: Where are you going?

    Alan: To bail out India and Dorrie before a media crisis happens.

    Lizzie: Grandpa, are you kidding me?

    Alan: No.

    Phillip: Dad, if you bail that woman out I will never speak to you again.

    Beth: Me too.

    Alex: I second that motion.

    Lizzie & James: Ditto!

    Everyone looks at Bill, who sits in silence.

    Lizzie: Bill!

    Bill: Alan and I already don't talk so what would be the difference?

    Beth: Alan Michael? Caroline?

    Caroline: He's my boss.

    Alan Michael: I have no seat on the board anymore. He took it before I left town the last time.

    Phillip: Then it is settled. Us or India?

    Alan: (laughs) Do you all think you can blackmail me? And how many times have you all said you will never speak to me again but you always do?

    Alex: But this time is different.

    Alan: We shall see. Now I am going to get India and Dorrie. Goodbye.

    Alan walks out. Phillip runs to the door hollering,

    Phillip: You have made your choice and know you must live with it!

    Alan gives him a "thumbs up" and hops into his limo, driving off.

    INT. REVA BEND – DAY – LIVING ROOM

    Dinah sits at the computer going over stories for WSPR when we hear the door unlock to reveal Shayne entering with baby Henry. Dinah turns around from the computer to greet him with a smile.

    Dinah: Hey you. How was the funeral?

    Shayne: A mess. Surprised your mother has not called you and told you how Olivia reacted.

    Dinah gets up with a look of concern. She takes Henry off his hands and kisses Shayne on the cheek. Meanwhile, Shayne hangs up their coats.

    Dinah: About what?

    Shayne: The woman lost it. Marah showed up to bid Sam farewell and she called her a bitch and everything else in the book. I feel so bad for Marah and the poor Bauers. Enough about me though, how have you been?

    Dinah: Stressing out. Getting ready for our big premiere. Holly has a lot of hope of getting WSPR back on the map with this relaunch.

    Shayne: And I agree with Holly. I can only see huge success when it comes to you and Blake in a room having to work together.

    Dinah: Yeah, whatever. I still don’t get why she even joined on as an anchor. I mean the woman has no likeability.

    Shayne: (jokingly) And the same can be said you as well, Dinah. You’re no Mother Theresa yourself.

    Dinah: (laughing) Oh really? (to Henry) You may want to tell your daddy to stop insulting before he becomes the first story on WSPR’s relaunch: “WSPR Anchor assaults her boyfriend.”

    Shayne takes Henry back.

    Shayne: We’ll see about that. Now I am about to go and lie Henry down.

    Shayne gives Dinah a love tap on her bottom.

    Dinah: Shayne! In front of Henry.

    Shayne shrugs his shoulders, smirking. Dinah laughs while rubbing her bottom.

    INT. WSPR NEWSROOM – DAY

    Holly reads and marks up some of Blake’s stories with a red pen. Blake watches on not so thrilled by all her marks.

    Holly: Nope. This is not going to work. Scrap that story.

    Holly hands Blake the paper and Blake snatches it.

    Blake: What is wrong with it, Mother?

    Holly: It does not scream attention grabber. I mean who really cares about the Councilman’s wife wanting to do an interview about her husband’s many affairs.

    Blake: It’s good TV. Nothing like a good, controversial affair to jump off ratings.

    Holly: I said no. What don’t you get? The “I said,” or the “No.” It’s trash TV.

    Blake: And? Mother, that equals ratings!

    Holly: Ok. But that is the thing about WSPR, we have become nothing more than another news station reporting and glorifying martial affairs. I don’t want to give Councilman Reed anymore press than what he deserves.

    Blake: Ok then what did you have in mind? Let me guess, something dealing with—

    Holly: Political issues. If you wrote a story like Dinah did on Councilman Reed wanting to invest in bringing in casinos instead of the water and park restoration then I’d greenlight it. Other than that, who cares about him sexing some clueless broad who is hoping to snag him. The man needs no more negative press when it comes to his personal life.

    Blake: Why?

    Reginald: (O.C) It’s elementary, babe. Bad publicity equals good publicity nowadays.

    Blake and Holly turn around to see the steamy, breathtaking Reginald Wilson standing behind them. Blake, though tries to hide it, is taken back by his good looks. She likes what she sees.

    Holly: (hugging him) Reginald! You finally arrived.

    Reggie: I told you I’d arrive sooner or later.

    Blake: (with attitude) Mother, who is this?

    Holly: Reginald Wilson. You and Dinah’s male correspondent.

    Blake: Oh…

    Reggie: And you must be Chrissy?

    Blake: The name is Christina but I prefer Blake. No one called me Chrissy but my father.

    Reggie: Until now.

    Blake: Excuse us…uh, Reginald.

    Reginald: Go ahead.

    Blake pulls Holly aside.

    Blake: I hate him.

    Holly: You just met him.

    Blake: So what. He does not fit the vision for WSPR.

    Holly: Too bad. I’m the visionary of this show.

    Blake: Mother…Mother, I -- I swear I will quit.

    Holly: Go ahead, Blake. You ought to know by now that emotional blackmail is not going to work with me. Didn’t when you were a child and isn’t going to now.

    Reginald joins them, wrapping his arms around both of them.

    Reggie: (to Blake) You’re not intimidated by me, are you?

    Blake: (removing his arm) Nope. But I strongly advise that you wear a protective cup to work for now because I am going to hand you your—

    INT. LIMO – DAY

    Dorrie: Balls. That is all I have to say, Mom. You have big ones to come back here and try another shot at Phillip. Have you even thought about Beth Raines?

    India ignores Dorrie as she glances in her compact mirror adding blush to her face.

    India: Who cares about Beth? She is no threat to me.

    Dorrie: Is that so? Then if that is the case, you’d still be with Phillip now. But newsflash, Mother, YOU AREN’T!!

    India: Dorrie, do you have to be such a downer?

    Dorrie: I’m not a downer. I’m a realist. I see things for what they are. I am never going to let love -- well in your case, money, blind me.

    India puts down the compact and faces off with Dorrie.

    India: Money does blind me. It drives me. And love can take a backseat to money. You can’t take love to the bank, Dorrie.

    Dorrie: (drops her face into her hands in embarrassment) Mother! Are you serious?

    India: Could you for once, just once listen to what I have to tell you?

    India hands Dorrie the book, HOW TO BE A SOCIAL CLIMBER.

    India: Just read this and you’ll get it.

    Dorrie takes the book as she rolls down the window. She then proceeds with tossing the book out the window.

    India: Dorrie!!

    Dorrie: Mom, I am not reading that book again! It’s stupid.

    India: You need that. I mean how can you land a rich man without having your manual, your mantra to guide you?

    Dorrie: I have a walking, eating, and breathing manual sitting beside me. If I wanna learn from the best, I got you.

    India: (flattered) Why thank you.

    The car comes to a screeching halt, flinging both of them forward. Dorrie and India scream.

    Dorrie: Mom -- Mom are you ok?

    India removes her hair from her face.

    India: Yes, yes I am. (knocks on the window) Hey! Driver, what just happened there? Do you know who I am? I am India Von Halkein!

    The Driver lets down the window and looks into the back.

    Driver: And clearly you’re broke. You’re credit card was just denied. My boss, just called and told me to put you two out.

    India: What?!

    Dorrie: Dear God, that is a sign. A sign I tell you! God is telling us to not head to Springfield.

    INDIA: DORRIE, SHUT UP!!! (calmly, to driver) Now listen, Sir, there must be a mistake.

    Driver: Afraid not. Now get out.

    India: No. This is a mistake! A mistake I tell you! I refuse to get out!

    The Driver gets out and makes his way towards the back. India locks the door to prevent him from getting in.

    Dorrie: What are you doing?

    The Driver beats on the door.

    Driver: Open this door!

    India: (to driver) No!

    Dorrie: Mom, this enough. Let him in.

    Dorrie goes to unlock the door when India grabs her by the arm.

    India: Don’t you even think about!!!!

    Seeing the fire in India’s eyes causes Dorrie to sit back and shut up. India reaches forwards in the front seat and grabs the keys from the ignition.

    The Driver comes back to the front of the car only to spot India locking his door as well.

    Driver: Hey! You crazy lady, let me in!

    India dangles the keys at him like a lion tamer dangling meat to a lion.

    India: Come and get them.

    The Driver eyes the top of the car where the sun roof is open. India’s eyes meet at the sun roof also. They glance at each other for a second and then back at the sun roof. All of a sudden, the Driver dives on top of the car as India slides from the backseat into the driver seat. She starts the car and drives off, tossing the driver off the car.

    Dorrie is flung back by her mother speeding.

    Dorrie: MOTHER!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!!

    India: Taking care of business, baby. Taking care of business. Now put your seatbelt on. Mother hasn’t driven a car since 1986.

    Dorrie: WHAT?!!!

    The car speeds off down the road.

    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?

    Beth: And Phillip?

    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.

    A-M: I doubt that. Anything consisting of dad is bad news.

    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.

    Grady: Well we need to move now. I want Phillip to pay for what he has done to me.

    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—

    Ed is now at the altar.

    Ed: What can I say about my brother, Mike. I can say he wasway more levelheaded than I ever hope to be.

    Everyone starts to laugh.

    Now it's Rick's turn.

    MOMENTS LATER

    Michelle is at the altar, hysterical.

    Michelle: No one will ever replace Aunt Meta. That woman –that woman helped shaped me into everything I am now. When she first arrived Iwas so angry because she treated me like a child. It bothered me so much. Butovertime, I grew to love this woman. (smiling through tears) Oh and her belovedBruce. Though they had been divorced long before, the two continued to have agreat relationship. I remember Aunt Meta trying to play off Bruce calling heras if she hated it but she loved every second of it.

    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: You were right, Ed. The FCC the plane had been tampered with.

    Michelle: What? Are you kidding me? Someone planned this? Who would do something like this -- target Uncle Mike?

    Ed: Sure it had something to do with the investigation on the mob activity in DC. (tosses his napkin on the table in rage) I told him not to get involved. I had a bad feeling from day one.

    Rick: But Dad, that was Uncle Mike. You know he always had to do the right thing.

    Ed: But it cost him his life.

    Danny: Well I can look into it if you want me too. Call some old friends in the mob--

    Michelle: OH NO! Hell no. You left that lifestyle behind and I don’t want you going back to it.

    Danny: But it’s for the family.

    Michelle: So what. I’d rather be left in the dark than you getting back involved with the mob. Let’s just leave it up to the FBI to figure it out.

    Ed: She is right, Danny. We don’t need no more bad news no time soon. Let’s see what the FBI will do before we make drastic decisions like that.

    Rick: This topic is going to have to take a back seat since we need to heading to church now. (he gets up) You guys go ahead to the car, I am going to pay the bill.

    Josh: Maybe I should go and help him?

    Cassie: I wouldn’t even bother. RJ is a preteen now, I doubt he’ll even listen.

    Reva: We know about that.

    They all laugh. Cassie leads them to the couches where they all have a seat.

    Cassie: Did anyone want anything to eat? I cooked a nice breakfast this morning.

    Reva: I don’t even think I can eat with this funeral.

    Cassie takes Henry from Shayne and starts playing with him. A combination of weird faces and bouncing him on her knee.

    Cassie: Weird, huh? I just can’t believe that Sam is dead. I just can’t. He was such a sweet boy.

    Josh: And I can’t thank him enough for saving Marah.

    Cassie: Neither can I. (looking around) Where is Marah?

    Reva: She’s not coming. I told her it is best to steer clear from Olivia as long as she can.

    Cassie: Reva, come on. I think that Marah should be there. She was friends with Sam, she even dated him at one point. She has every right to be there. And Sam would want her there.

    Reva: We know that but it’s what OLIVIA wants. This is more like the Olivia show than anything. And I don’t know how much I can bear of her actions against Marah. Causing her to lose her job in Paris—

    Cassie: What!

    Reva: So I guess your partner did not tell you? She has Marah fired La Bella. Guess she had friends in the higher ups.

    Cassie: Poor Marah.

    Shayne: It is. I’m growing sick of her moping around the room like she’s dead.

    Cassie: Then maybe Marah should start her own line.

    Reva: We tried. She refuses to take money from any of us.

    Cassie: Then what can we do?

    Reva: I have no clue but we better come up with something quick. I don’t know how much longer I can take of her locking herself up in that room.

    Cassie: We’ll figure something out. Is Jeffrey joining us?

    Reva: He’s at the church with Olivia and Natalia. She needs him more than anything.

    Cassie: Is Ava coming?

    Shayne: She’s suppose to.

    Cassie: Good, good.

    RJ slumps down the stairs and presents himself in front of everyone. He is not too eager about his outfit and slicked back hair.

    Reva: RJ, you look so handsome!

    RJ: (dully) Thanks, Aunt Reva.

    Reva grabs RJ by the arm, drawing him closer to her.

    Reva: (pushing his head up) Hold your head up! You’re a Shayne. We never hold our heads down. We have too much spirit for that.

    RJ lights up at his aunt’s encouraging words.

    Reva: (standing up) Now come on here and let’s go get you something to eat.

    Reva starts leads RJ into the kitchen.

    Cassie: Thanks, Reva.

    Reva: No problem, sis.

    Reva & RJ exit into the kitchen.

    Josh; That’s RJ for you.

    Cassie: Hasn’t changed a bit. (to Shayne) So what have you been up to?

    Shayne: Nothing much.

    Cassie: Yeah right. I heard that Ed wants to join the staff at Cedars due to your work you did in the Peace Corps. Whoever would’ve thought that Shayne Lewis would be a doctor?

    Shayne: (smiling) Who says I was going to take it.

    Cassie: You better! You’re smart, a good people’s person, and easy on the eyes. I am sure many women in Springfield would love for you to treat them. And again, this would be good for you to put your Peace Corps work to good use. You didn’t go over there for 3-4 years for nothing. Use those skills for the greater good.

    The doorbell rings.

    Cassie: Excuse me.

    Cassie gets up, holding Henry still, and head to the door.

    Cassie: Who is it?

    Frank: (O.C.) Frank.

    Cassie opens the door to Frank. Frank is impressed at the sight of her holding the baby.

    Frank: (playing baby Henry) Well aren’t you lucky to have such a beautiful woman hold you, Grandson. Must be the Cooper gene.

    Cassie blushes. She and Frank stare deep, longing into each other eyes.

    Jeffrey: Someone is acting like a Nazi today.

    Natalia: And you see that I am just going to steer clear from her until the funeral.

    Usher #3 walks out the back with candles in his hands, sending Olivia over the edge.

    Olivia: (to Usher #3) My God these are not the candles I asked for! These are cheap! (she snatches them from him and tossed them on the floor) I want good wax candles! Not that crap from the dollar store! This is funeral! Not some backwoods family reunion! Can anyone get one thing right?!

    Jeffrey: That’s our cue.

    Jeffrey and Natalia grab Olivia, leading her to the lobby.

    Natalia: Enough, Olivia. These men are doing just fine. They are here to help.

    Olivia: No, what they are doing is trying to put on a circus. Without my direction—

    Jeffrey: The funeral would still be good. You are over thinking and over working yourself.

    Olivia: (breaks free of their grip and turns to them) NO I AM NOT! CAN I JUST THROUGH—

    Natalia: Inside voice.

    Olivia: (calming down) Can I just through a nice funeral for my brother.

    Jeffrey: The thing is that this isn’t just your brother’s funeral. The ceremony is also shared by the Bauers too. You keep forgetting that.

    Olivia: …You’re right. I apologize. I’m a wrong as always. (getting emotional) Excuse me for trying to give Sam something nice and special! Excuse—

A-M and her share a smile and she gives him a thumbs up. A-M quickly takes notice to the bracelet on her arm. He masks his suspicions with a grin.

    INT. COURTROOM - DAY

    All eyes are on Alan as he stands before the court.

    Judge: Mr. Spaulding, so you're saying your son never embezzled money from the company?
    Alan: Uhh...yes. I was the one who made it look like he did.
    Judge: And why is that Mr. Spaulding? -- Let me take a guess, to punish him?
    Alan: To spare him.
    Judge: From what? He seems to be a pretty level headed man in my opinion. Unlike his father...
    Alan: Judge DuBois--
    Judge: Shut your mouth! I am the only to speak. Not you.
    Alan: Yes, your Honor.
    Judge: It's rich people like you that think you can manipulate the system and people's lives. You should be ashamed! Do you hear me?!

    Alan nods his head in agreement.

    Judge: Mr. Spaulding, I ought to charge you for embezzlement and fraudulent crimes. (to A-M) Do you wanna press charges?

    Rick cheers in the background until Mel gestures for him to be quiet. Alan turns white in fear. Then, Alan Michael stands up.

    A-M: I don't want to press charges against him.

    Everyone is stunned again by this revelation except for Judge DuBois, who is impressed.

    Judge: Good. Glad to see you are nothing like your father. You must take after your mother.

    Caroline slightly grins at the sound of this.

    Judge: (to A-M) Today is your lucky day. I am going to award you not only your freedom but a haven as well. Mr. Tyrant aka your daddy, will provide you with a home until you can pick yourself back up and regain your stability.
    Alan: You can't do that!
    Judge: THE HELL I CAN! This is my courtroom. (pointing her gavel at Alan in a threatening tone) Let me catch you back in here and I swear, your going to jail. I'm going to have to show you I ain't the one! You better not even step foot in here and let me catch you or I swear--(in a rage) Get out of my courtroom before I step down from this bench and do something I regret!

    Alan walks out the courtroom:

    Judge: (to Bailiff) Don't let him back in here. (to everyone) Court is adjourned.

    The crowd exits out the entrance. Alan Michael hugs Mel and they are then joined by Rick and Ed.

    Ed: Thank you, Mel.
    Mel: No problem, Ed. I am only doing my job.
    Rick: A good one at that.

    Mel rolls her eyes.

    Mel: Excuse me. (to A-M) Congrats, sweetie.
    A-M: Thank you, Mel.

    Mel leaves the courtroom.

    Ed: You're a free man, nephew. How does it feel?
    A-M: Damn good.

    Ed pats Alan Michael on the back and they all head for exit when they notice Caroline sitting on the bench alone.

    Alan Michael: Thank you, Caroline. I know you had a hand in my freedom.
    Caroline: No problem. I know a good boy when I see one.

    Alan Michael, Ed, & Rick exit.

    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.

    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 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.

    Beth is not tending to the grill when Leah approaches.

    Beth: Hi -- Hi, Leah.
    Leah: (coldly) Beth...
    Beth: Did you want something from the grill? I can fix you a burger.
    Leah: All you can do for me is just tell me where my dad is.
    Beth: He went back to the house to see your Grandpa Ed. He should be back soon.

    Mel and Cyrus joins them, laughing.

    Cyrus: Hi Beth.

    Beth is stunned by this pairing.

    Beth: Cyrus. How are you?
    Cyrus: Good.
    Beth: Mel, and you?
    Mel: Like you ever cared, Beth. Still didn't stop you from stealing Rick but it doesn't matter now. Tell Rick we were here.

    Mel, Leah, and Cyrus walk away when Beth runs in front of them, stopping them.

    Beth: Wait. You guys aren't staying?
    Mel: No. I have a case to prepare and Leah is going to my aunt's house so we are going home.
    Beth: But that can wait. This is more important. This is going to be the best Bauer BBQ ever and Rick wants you two here.
    Leah: Too bad. And he's not here to tell us himself so we are going.
    Beth: Leah!
    Mel: Goodbye, Beth.

    Mel, Leah, and Cyrus leave.

    Beth: What is going on? Where are you Rick?

    INT. BAUER HOME - EVENING

    Alan Michael and Ed sit in silence when Rick comes barging in.

    Rick: Dad? You here!
    Ed: We are in the living room.

    Rick comes into the living room.

    Rick: (to Ed) You ok?

    Rick and Ed embrace.

    Ed: I'm fine.

    Rick notices Alan Michael.

    Rick: When did you get here?
    A-M: Just recently.
    Rick: Well I am glad you're home.
    Alan (O.C): Well I'm not.

    Ed, A-M, and Rick turn their attention to Alan and Phillip, standing in the doorway.

    Alan: I thought I told you never to come home.
    Ed: Alan...
    Alan: Zip it, Ed. This is MY SON!
    Ed: And MY NEPHEW.
    Alan: Then maybe you should've told your nephew to stay out of town. I told him never to come back.
    A-M: Too bad I never listened.
    Alan: Then maybe you'll listen now!

    Alan digs in his jacket and whips out his .32. Everyone jumps back in fear.

    Phillip: Dad, what the hell are you doing?
    Alan: Getting rid of this vermin.
    Rick: Alan, put the damn gun away.
    Alan: Oh shut up, Bauer and get out of my way.

    Alan pushes Rick and Ed out the way and walks up on A-M, driving the nozzle of the gun in A-M's side.

    A-M: Wouldn't be the first time you shot one of your sons. Gonna make it 2 for 2?
    Alan: I told you never to come back.
    A-M: I got tired of running.
    Phillip: Stop! This is his home too, Dad.
    Ed: ALAN! PUT THE DAMN GUN DOWN!
    Alan: Too bad I never listened or took you serious, Ed.
    Ed: Then maybe if I told you that Hope may be dead, you'd listen!

    Alan is stunned by this news.

    Alan: Hope?
    Ed: She might be dead. That is what we called you over here for. She's missing, Alan.

    EXT. FOREST - NIGHT


    Hope lies lifeless at the end of the river. She then turns over and coughs the water out of her lungs.

    EXT. PARK - DAY

    The park is filled with various Springfield citizens. Rick attends to the grill wearing his chef hat and apron. His phones goes off.

    Rick: Hello?

    INTERCUT - TELEPHONE CONVO

    Ed: Son, its me. I need you to come home now.
    Rick: Dad, I can't. The festivities are about to begin.
    Ed: Rick! Listen to me, this is serious.
    Rick: Then just tell me over the phone. Did you burn the pies? Dad, please tell me you took them out.
    Ed: Rick, SCREW THE DAMN PIES! Meta, Trudy, Bruce, and Mike are dead. Michelle just called again and got word their plane went down.

    Rick holds the phone to his ear with no reaction. The color from his face slowly starts to drain.

    Rick: What about Hope?
    Ed: They have not found her yet but I am assuming she died too.
    Rick: (stifles his tears) We have -- have to find Alan Michael then and tell him.
    Ed: He's already here.
    Rick: He is?
    Ed: Yes. Look, Rick, just get here as soon as you can. You might want to bring Phillip and Alan as well.
    Rick: Yeah...

    Ed hangs up the phone. Alan Michael lies on the couch look up at the ceiling, still fighting back tears.

    A-M: Why, why did you tell him to bring Alan?
    Ed: He needs to know about your mother and know that you are here. No need in hiding it now.
    A-M: (sits up) Do you not realize that I am an fugitive!
    Ed: We'll Alan to fix that.
    A-M: Like he ever will.
    Ed: Out of respect for your mother, he will.
    A-M: Hmph.

    INT. OLIVIA PENTHOUSE

    Olivia collapses into Jeffrey's arms in a panic.

    Olivia: Please tell me this a dream. TELL ME!
    Jeff: Unfortunately not. Olivia--

    Olivia breaks away from him and sits on the couch, holding her head down.

    Olivia: This is a joke. This is a cruel joke. Sam is not dead. HOW DID HE DIE?
    Jeff: It was an accident. He was in Switzerland with some friends--
    Olivia: Switzerland?
    Jeff: Yes. You didn't know?
    Olivia: DO I LOOK LIKE I KNOW!
    Jeff: Olivia, calm down.

    Jeff reaches out to comfort her and Olivia snatches away.

    Olivia: Hell no! Don't comfort me. Tell me why Sam was over there?
    Jeff: He was meeting up with Marah to go skiing--
    Olivia: Marah? She was in the accident too?
    Jeff: Yes.
    Olivia: Is she dead?
    Jeff: No. Sam managed to dig her to safety.
    Olivia: Dig her? They were in avalanche?
    Jeff: Olivia--
    Olivia: So Sam is dead due to Marah?
    Jeff: Olivia, that is just crazy.

    Natalia and Emma come out the room.

    Emma: Surprise!

    Both of them read Olivia's reaction.

    Emma: Momma, what is wrong.

    Olivia turns away and wipes the tears away.

    Olivia: Nothing. Nothing at all.
    Natalia: There is something wrong. Has Jeffrey upset you?
    Jeff: Hold on, don't shoot the messenger--
    Natalia: What is going on?

    Olivia walks over to Emma and kneels down to her.

    Olivia: Go and pack some clothes. We are going on a little trip.
    Emma: Momma, we gotta go to the cookout. Maureen and Clarissa are going to be there.
    Olivia: Emma...

    Emma storms off and slams her room door.

    Natalia: Olivia, what is going on?
    Olivia: Sam is dead.
    Natalia: Ay dios mios! How?
    Olivia: Apparently in an accident. (to Jeffrey) Where is Josh and Reva? Why aren't they here?
    Jeff: Why would they be here?
    Olivia: To tell me the news. Why send you? Why? Is it because Marah is ok and safe so they don't have to worry about Sam?
    Jeff: That is ludicrous.
    Olivia: Not when it comes to Josh and Reva it doesn't! As long as their family is safe, its screw everyone else. Why the hell aren't they here?
    Jeff: I told them to go ahead to the cookout. Josh was--
    Olivia: HE WAS. But did he? No. He should've came to me before going to Reva. Marah is fine and living. Sam is dead. Oh God...

    Olivia eases back onto the sofa in tears.

    Olivia: Dammit!

    Olivia picks up an ornament from the table and tosses it at the TV, shattering it.

    Olivia: (to Jeff) Just leave!

    Jeffrey nods his head and leaves. Natalia goes to sit with Olivia on the couch but Olivia gesture her to stop.

    Olivia: Please, don't. I want to be alone.
    Natalia: Ok...I'll go pack.
    Olivia: Thank you.

    Natalia exits. Olivia sits on the couch deep in thought. Her demeanor changes from sadness to disdain. Anger runs through her veins.

    Olivia: (utters) I love you, Sam. I will avenge you. I will make Marah Lewis pay if it is the last thing I do...



    EXT. BUS STATION - DAY

    Rocky and Trista get off the bus, sharing a laugh.

    Trista: Wow. Must've been great to grow up in England.
    Rocky: It had its perks...

    The two walk over to the side of the bus and grabs their luggage.

    Rocky: Good old Springfield. Have not been here since my mom died...
    Trista: Well I'm sorry to hear about that.
    Rocky: Don't be. I've learned to deal with it along with my brother Coop's death as well.

    Trista looks saddened by Rocky's story. Even though he is hurting himself, he masks his pain to cheer Trista up as well.

    Rocky: Hey, where are you staying?
    Trista: I don't know. Campus dorms don't open up until August so I was probably going to get a room at the Springfield Arms Inn.
    Rocky: Eww, no.
    Trista: But its cheap.
    Rocky: Yeah and on the bad side of the town. Come and stay with me at Company.
    Trista: Umm, Rocky, I know we just met and all but you're moving a tad bit to fast for me...
    Rocky: I am talking about you getting a room at Company until school starts in the fall.
    Trista: I don't know...
    Rocky: Come on. It's on the house.
    Trista: I don't think so. I can't live off someone for free. Just not in my blood.
    Rocky: Then you can work in Company to pay for your room and board.
    Trista: Are you sure your father is going to allow this?
    Rocky: He has no choice. When he sees me, he'll be too happy to say no.

    Trista thinks for a second and then a grin comes on her face.

    Trista: Deal.
    Rocky: Good. (he wraps his arms around her) You'll enjoy it.

    Suddenly a man in a mask comes from out of nowhere and snatches Trista's purse and picks up running down the street.

    Trista: Hey!

    Rocky takes notices and chases after the man, luggage and all.

    Rocky: You son of bitch, get back here!
    Trista: Rocky! Rocky, wait! (to self) Just great. Just great!

    Trista grabs her suitcases and runs after Rocky.

    INT. BAUER HOME - LIVING ROOM

    *We pick up where we last left off with A-M and Ed in the living room.

    Ed: Alan Michael?
    A-M: Uncle Ed, I am sure--

    Ed hugs A-M tightly. A-M is surprised by this gesture.

    Ed: I have missed you so much. I'm so glad that you are home.
    A-M: Yeah but for how long. The cops are still looking for me for embezzlement and my dad has men following me. I'm sure he knows I am in town.
    Ed: Ok, ok. Calm down, nephew. Just have a seat on the sofa for a second while I go and call Michelle back.

    A-M nods and has a seat on the sofa. Ed picks up the phone and dials Michelle back.

    Ed: (into phone) ...Hello? Michelle, what is going on? ...What?! (looks at A-M) ...(voice trembling) You sure it was them? ...Ok. (sobs) ...You sure? You sure you wanna do that? I can go to D.C and do it if you and Danny don't want too...Don't worry about Rick, I'll tell him...I'll call Lainie and Johnny and the rest of the family too...Ok. Love you, sweetie. (choked up) Bye.

    Ed hangs up the phone. Alan Michael stands up, troubled.

    A-M: What is wrong?
    Ed: (wiping away the tears) Meta, Bruce, Mike, and Trudy were killed in the plane crash on their way here.
    A-M: (hysterical) What? No...I have to call my mom.
    Ed: You can't. Hope was plane as well.

    Alan Michael jumps up and is startled by this news as well.

    A-M: Is she dead?
    Ed: I don't know...her body is missing. They assume she may have been thrown from the plane and not survive also.
    A-M: Oh God.

    Alan Micheal drops to the floor.

    INT. OLIVIA'S PENTHOUSE - DAY

    Olivia and Natalia sits on the couch waiting patiently as Emma gets dressed.

    Olivia: Emma, come on. If we are going to make the cookout, you need to hurry up.
    Emma (O.C.): Mom, I can't find anything.
    Natalia (to Olivia): Don't worry. I'll go help her find something.
    Olivia: Thanks, honey.

    Olivia kisses Natalia. Natalia gets up and heads into Emma's room. The doorbell rings.

    Olivia: I got it!

    Olivia gets up and heads to the door. She opens it and Jeffery turns around to reveal himself.

    Olivia: Hi, Jeffrey. What are you doing here?
    Jeff: Can we talk?
    Olivia: Ok. Come in.

    Jeff enters. Olivia closes the door behind him.

    Jeff: Nice pad.
    Olivia: Thanks. Me and Natalia needed a change so we decided to move back into the penthouse now that its renovated.
    Jeff: I see that. So are you going to do this with all the suites in the Beacon?
    Olivia: Jeffrey, what is it?
    Jeff: Can't an old friend just stop by and see how the renovation is going?
    Olivia: Things are going fine but what is it you really want?
    Jeff: Olivia--
    Olivia: Jeffrey stop stall--
    Jeff: (blurts) Olivia, Sam is dead!
