INT. MONA LISA - DAY Carter grabs a faint Lisa before she falls do the ground. Scott rushes over to a table nearby and pulls out a chair while Carter drags Lisa to the chair, seating her. Lisa: (faint) Scott? Is it really you? Scott: Yes, Mom. Carter comes back to them with a glass of water. He hands it to Scott, who is now kneeled next to his mother. He holds the glass while Lisa takes a sip. Scott: You all right? Lisa: I will be . . . (strokes his face gently) So glad to see you . . . Lisa then strikes her son across the face. Scott holds his face, which stings. Carter is stunned. Lisa jumps up and hovers over her son. Lisa: How dare you! How dare you do this to me! On Scott totally shocked, CUT TO INT. BARBARA & HENRY'S HOUSE (KITCHEN) Henry, with a chef hat and apron that reads "I rub my meat for two mins," dances around the kitchen while the pots of the stove create a slight fog from the steam. Henry: (singing) Pour it up! Pour it up! That's how we ball out! . . . Strips clubs and dollar bills-- He is abruptly interrupted by a knock at the door. Aggravated, Henry opens the door to reveal his younger sister, CLARK COLEMAN. Henry is speechless. Clark: (distraught) I need your help. On Henry worried CUT TO INT. TOM & MARGO'S COTTAGE - DAY Mo and Casey sit on the sofa making out. Tom then barges in slamming the door. The two break apart like two teens that have been caught in the act. As the rearrange their clothes: Tom: Where is your mother?! Casey: She's at the station. What's wrong? Tom: Emily! Casey: What now? Tom tosses the paper at Casey before he storms up stairs. Casey unballs the paper to see the headline (from last episode) featuring Tom, Carter, and Scott. On Casey cringing, FADE OUT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7m5isq5q04 FADE IN: INT. TOM & MARGO'S COTTAGE - DAY Casey kisses Mo (before she leaves) and closes the door behind her. Tom comes down the stairs, undoing his tie and tossing it to the side. Casey: You sure you're fine? Tom: Do I look fine? (off Casey holding his hands up for mercy) Sorry. Casey: No problem but does this story even has any truth to it? I mean we haven't seen or heard from Uncle Scott since I was child. You sure Emily isn't fabricating this to p*ss you off? Tom: No she isn't. For once she isn't lying in that rag she calls a paper. Casey: (confused) So then I don't get while you're mad at Emily . . . Tom: Because she's ruining my campaign! Don't you see it! Casey: Dad, I doubt anyone is taking Emily or her paper seriously. Her past isn't squeaky clean either . . . Tom: But when you're running up against someone with a stellar track record such as Carter Wallace-- Casey: Dad, you need to chill. Casey goes and sits on the sofa. He pats on it to indicate he wants Tom to join him, to relax. After fighting it, Tom gives in. Casey: Dad, you have a stellar track record too. Tom: I do but-- Casey: Not "buts." Who cares that you left mid office almost fifteen years ago? That was then. This is now. Margo rushes in breathing heavily. Margo: Oh honey! There you are. (rushes over and kisses Tom) I went by the campaign office and Bonnie told me everything. (calming down) You OK? Tom: Not really. Margo: Don't worry, honey. We'll figure this out--me, you, Bonnie, Lisa-- Tom jumps up from the sofa Tom: Mom! I gotta go see her. Margo: We're coming with you. On a shot of the Hughes rushing out, CUT TO INT. BARBARA & HENRY (KITCHEN) Henry and Clark are now seated at a table. We enter mid-convo. Henry is trying to pry some info out of her. Clark: Henry, can you stop! Henry: No! You just come beating down my door and you want me to stop? Clark: Yes. Henry: We haven't heard from you in years! Maddie, me, Bernadette-- Clark: I'm fine. (swiping hair out of face) Can't you tell? Henry: Not really but I'll drop it for now . . . Clark: I just need a place to stay for a few nights-- Henry: What? Hold on--you just come in here and expect to provide you a haven when you can't tell me where the heck you've been for the past five years?! Really, Clark? On Clark moaning, CUT TO INT. MONA LISA Picking up where we left off of Lisa slapping Scott, and both he and Carter stunned: Scott: What was that for! Lisa: For not picking up the phone and calling me! For not visiting me! Your brother-- Scott: Oh I've seen ole' Tom already. Lisa: What? So you've been in town for awhile now! (to Carter) And you knew?! Carter searches for the right words, but before he can get them out, Lisa pops him in the face. Carter now holds his face, shocked. Lisa: Now I see why you were using me--getting close to me. You wanted to stick it to me and Tom. (pointing to Scott) And he's the best way to do so? Scott: He didn't even know I was related you to until the night I arrived in Oakdale. Lisa: Oh really? So how do you two know each other? Scott: We met awhile back in Somerset. I had a small practice there, he was there visiting-- Lisa: So you two became buddies and decided to come here and run for district attorney? Carter: No! I didn't even ask him to join me until weeks after I decided to come to Oakdale. Scott: Exactly. Lisa: (stewing) Oh OK . . . So Tom knew you were here? Scott: Yes. I've been here since Christmas. Lisa: What! Tom, Margo, & Casey come rushing in and up to Lisa, Carter, & Scott. Tom: Mom-- Lisa pops him across the face. Lisa: How could you! (to both of her boys) How could both of you! . . . (enraged, flailing around) How could all of you! Casey and Margo step back, not wanting to feel the wrath of Lisa. On Tom holding his face, now stunned too.

EXT. DOCKS – NIGHT A thick fog nearly consumes the setting when a boat pulls in. A pair of feet steps off the boat and it is revealed to be John Hu. He looks around and likes what he sees. Suddenly, a Don Chi, Hu’s henchman, steps off the boat from behind him. He has a briefcase in hand. Don: Pretty foggy here tonight, huh? John: Just how I like it. Don: So you never told me why we’re here in Springfield. John: Patience, patience. All good things to those who wait. John digs into his pocket and reveals a small photo of Harley. He brightens up at the sight of her. John: (putting it back in his pocket) We have to get things prepared for the shipment. Is all the money there. Don: (tapping the briefcase) Yep. Counted it twice. Five million dollars. John: Good. Let’s get back on the boat and circle around the bay until they arrive with our stash. Don: Yes, sir. Don heads back onto the boat. John starts to head back onto the boat, and takes one look back . . . John: Springfield . . . my home away from home. He gets back on the boat and it takes off. CUT TO INT.

She’s so peaceful, and we FADE INTO EXT. YACHT – NIGHT— DREAM SEQUENCE Harley is dressed to the “nines.” She is donning a beautiful haute couture gown while she sets on the deck of the yacht, which glides across the Danube River. The scenery—its so captivating and refreshing, mesmerizes her. A male hand then reaches into the frame and grabs her hand, placing a flute with champagne in it. She looks up (and we follow) to see the man is non other than John Hu. Harley: John . . . John: Ssh. Don’t say a word, my sweet. Harley: But— John leans in and kisses Harley passionately, silencing her. Then a shot of the boat drifting off into the night, and BANG! BANG! END OF DREAM SEQUENCE BACK IN HARLEY’S LIVING ROOM Harley jumps out the sound of someone beating at the door. Phillip (O.C.): Harley! Harley, are you there. Harley: Ugh. Harley gets up, with her hair tossed everywhere, and heads to the door. She snatches the door open to Phillip, who jumps back at the sight of her. He can see the fury in her eyes. Harley: What! Phillip: We need to talk. Phillip barges in without being invited. Harley astonished by this. Harley: Umm . . . Phillip, I didn’t— Phillip: What is about you not wanting Zach attend Lincoln Prep? It’s a good school! Harley: With a lot of spoiled brats! Phillip: Just say it, Harley! You don’t want Zach to attend Lincoln Prep or have anything to do with my family or me because you’re afraid he’ll end up just me like. On Harley over it, FADE OUT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiVNjqhyeW8 FADE IN INT. SPAULDING MANOR (HOPE’S SUITE) The door to the room flings open and Alan Michael rushes into the room, frantic. He starts to scope out the room and Holly trails behind him. AM: Mom! Mom! Holly: Alan Michael, be quiet! Do you wanna be heard? Alan Michael nods understandingly. He peeks in the closet and sees that it has been cleared. He looks to Holly, anxious. AM: Where is she? Holly: She couldn’t’ve gone too far. AM: I wouldn’t put it past her. The door closes and Alan Michael and Holly turn to see India leaning on the door. India: Looking for Caroline or should I say Hope? Alan Michael’s jaw drops. He charges towards India with rage in his eyes, but Holly grabs him, stopping him. AM: You! I should’ve known it! You— India: You better settle down. Not if you want me to remain silent. AM: Remain silent? (trying to break free) That can be arranged! Holly: (restraining him) Calm down! (to India) Where is Hope? India: Oh Holly . . . (shaking head) you knew about Hope too? This gets better and better. Holly: India . . . India: I wonder how Ed is going to take the news—his main squeeze keeping such big secrets from him. (gloating) Bet he won’t like it. On Holly’s reaction CUT TO EXT. BAUER HOME – NIGHT Ed sits on the porch rocking, and its foggy also. He looks in the night sky. Mom, Leslie, and Maureen, if you can hear me . . . (tearing up) please help Meta, Bruce, Mike, and Hope find peace. Ed looks down to see someone standing within the fog. Ed: Hello? Hope emerges from the fog looking destroyed, mascara dripping down her eyes as if she’s been crying nonstop. Ed: Caroline, you all right? Ed steps off the porch and walks over towards her. Ed: Do I need to call Alan? Hope: No! Ed: Did something happen? Did Alan harm you? Hope: No. Ed: Come with me. Ed takes her by the arm and tries to take her by the arm, but she jerks away. Hope: Don’t you even recognize me! Ed: Caroline, are you sure you’re fine? Hope: It’s me, Uncle Ed! It is me, Hope! On Ed uncertain and shaken, CUT TO INT.

Phillip: (patting the sofa) Come sit. Harley: No. Phillip: I’m not leaving till we talk. Harley: You sure about that? Phillip: Harley . . . please. Harley sighs heavily and complies with his wishes by sitting across from him. Harley: What Phillip? Phillip: This has to stop—this tension between you and me. Harley: There is no tension. Phillip: There is. Harley: Phillip! (gets up and points to the door) Goodbye! Phillip: No. Harley: Leave! Phillip: I said no. Harley walks over and grabs the phone off the end table and starts to dial. Phillip: (sighs) Who are you calling? Harley: Frank. So he can come and whoop your ass and take you to jail. Phillip crosses over and struggles the phone away from Harley. Then he tosses it across the room and shatters into pieces. Harley: Phillip! Phillip: Now lets sit and talk like adults. Harley: Talk like adults? Screw you! Phillip: Why do you hate me, Harley? Why! Is this because of how I took Zach from you? I thought you’ve forgiven me! Harley: Well you thought wrong. Harley grabs her keys. She goes to exit but Phillip grabs her by the arm, restraining her. Harley: Let me go! Phillip: No! Not until you listen to me! Harley tries to pry free of Phillip’s grip. Harley: My opinion isn’t changing, Phillip! Zach is not going to Lincoln Prep. End of story— Harley breaks free but falls onto the floor. She holds her arm in pain while Phillip rushes to her side. Phillip: (worried) Harley, you OK! Harley: No! Harley kicks Phillip away from her. Harley: See! See! You see why I don’t want Zach anywhere near you! Your family! You’re a bully, Phillip! You’re sick! Phillip: Harley, it was an acci— Harley looks past Phillip to see Zach standing at the bottom of the stairs. Noticing Harley’s reaction, Phillip turns and sees Zach too. Guilt comes over Phillip. Zach: What’s going on? Mom, are you OK? Harley: (covering) Nothing. (getting back up) Nothing at all. Zach: But I heard you two screaming. Phillip: It was nothing, Zach. Just a simple disagreement. (devastated) I-I’m sorry, Harley. Forgive me. (fighting back tears) Forgive me. Phillip rushes out of the house. Harley looks on concerned and, CUT TO: INT.

They both watch what’s about to happen. Alan Michael: Caroline! I’m so sorry. She doesn’t respond. Alan Michael: I just wanna let you know that you’re not fired. Your job is still intact and I want you to come home with me. OK? She still doesn’t respond. Alan Michael: Caroline . . . (tearing up) please forgive me. She slowly turns to see her son crying. She wipes the tears from his eyes. Hope: Don’t cry, my sweet baby. I forgive you. Alan Michael kisses her hand and bury his face in it. Ed is now convinced. Ed: So I guess it’s true. Holly and Alan Michael react. Ed: So I guess she is Hope. Holly and Alan Michael exchange looks, and on Ed unhappy, CUT TO: INT.
