JAYJAY

The past comes back to bite you Springfield... Spaulding Mansion: Alan walks down to the living room. Blake is standing there. He smiles, "Well it's nice to see you again Blake." Blake sighs, "Shut up Alan." He grins, "Oh if you were angry at me you wouldn't have come here. Now what did you want." She walks over to him, "I am here to tell you that you are not to tell anyone what happened between us." He laughs, "Oh are you worried it's going to ruin your reputation? I'd say that's about 20 years to late." Blake shakes her head, "We were drunk. We were angry and we were hurt. It didn't mean anything." Alan sighs, "Of course it didn't. What do you think I wanted you to come over and ask me to go to dinner? What we had was nothing more than sex. No more, and no less." She scoffs, "Much less." He laughs, "Oh but the other day you were singing a different tune." She shoves him, "You are sick!" He takes her hands, "Don't you touch me like that again. And don't you dare play the victim. We both needed each other whether you like it or not. You wanted it too." Blake shakes her head, "The only reason I started working with you in the first place is because I want Remy. I don't want anything else to do with you Alan." Alan smiles, "Don't worry Blake. This won't get in the way of our partnership together." Blake is so angry at herself. Towers: Annie was meeting with business men. She walks away, "It was wonderful meeting with you gentleman. I hope to see those papers soon." Josh walks over to her, "Hi." She smiles, "Josh! Hi, how are you?" He grins, "I'm good. Congratulations Ms. CEO of Spaulding Enterprises. You took down all of the Spauldings huh?" Annie smiles, "Yes I did." Josh sighs, "Well I'm gonna warn you, Lewis Enterprises is new but we are more than capable of making a name for ourselves." She grins, "Well with you working there I'm sure you're gonna give us a run for out money." Josh laughs, "Well I have to say if someone has to be heading the Spaulding company, I'm kind of glad it's you." She smiles, "Thank you Josh. We should do lunch sometime." He nods, "I'd like that, I kind of need a break from everything going on with my family." Annie gets concerned, "Is everything okay? Are Marah and Shayne okay?" He nods, "Oh they are fine, they are just worried about their Mom." Annie chuckles, "What's Reva done now?" Josh realizes she doesn't know, "Reva has cancer." Annie is stunned by this. Cedars: Reva walks into the hospital. Lillian approaches her, "Hello honey. How are you feeling today?" Reva grins, "I'm good. I got another appointment. I am feeling good about today." Lillian smiles, "I am too. My family has had some rough times but I just think today will be relaxing and happy." Reva grins, "I brought some pictures of my family to help me." Lillian grins, "Let me see!" Reva takes them out, "I got one of all the kids, and of course my lovely granddaughters." Lillian smiles, "Oh." Reva takes one, "This is the last one Jonathan took of Sarah before he left town again." Lillian smiles, "There is our girl. She's got all of Jonathan's nice features and Lizzie's beautiful smile." Reva sighs, "I miss them." Lillian nods, "I know. One day we'll see them again I just know it. You have to have hope." Reva nods, "That's one thing I do have. Hope that whatever my future holds is good, even if I'm not expecting it." The two women hug. Cross Creek: Vanessa is getting ready for work. Dinah lets herself in, "Mom." Vanessa walks over, "Dinah? What a nice surprise honey." Dinah shakes her head, "No it's not." Vanessa looks at her, "Is everything okay?" Dinah sighs, "No. My children have been kidnapped and so has Maureen." Vanessa gasps, "Oh my God! What?" Dinah nods, "Mallet left with them and I have absolutely no idea where they are now." Vanessa gets angry, "Dinah!!! Don't you ever ever ever do that to me again! Don't you ever, do you understand me?" Dinah looks at her, "This is serious Mom. Mallet has taken all of them and I don't know where they are!" Vanessa sighs, "Maureen told me that she was going on a family trip Dinah. He didn't force her." Dinah looks at her, "You knew about this?" Vanessa shakes her head, "I assumed you were going with them. How could they have left without you knowing?" Dinah sighs, "I was in a meeting! I've been really busy.' Vanessa nods, "I'm well aware of how busy you've been sweetheart." Dinah turns to her, "What is that supposed to mean?" Vanessa sighs, "Honey, maybe Mallet did this to open your eyes. You are losing everything." Dinah is stunned by her mother's words. Farmhouse: Michelle is back with Marah. Marah is showing her the designs. Michelle smiles, "It's perfect. Did you work on the bridesmaids dresses for me yet?" Marah nods, "Oh yes here they are. Oh and I need to know who the maid of honor is before I finish that one. Just to help plan it." Michelle looks at her, "I guess we haven't made it official then have we Marah?" Marah is confused, "What?" Michelle takes her hand, "Marah you are my best girlfriend. Will you be my maid of honor?" Marah hugs her, "Of course! Oh my God! I'd be honored. Oh Michelle I'm so happy!" Michelle grins, "Who else would I ask? Marah you have been my friend for so long. You're Bill's cousin. Of course." Marah looks at her, "Well who will your bridesmaids be?" Michelle sighs, "Well I was planning on having Bill's sisters. Dinah, Maureen, and Mindy if she is in town." Marah grins, "This is going to be the most beautiful wedding ever." Michelle smiles, "Well maybe it won't be long before we are planning your wedding." Marah has a big smile on her face with that idea. Harley's House: Cyrus and Harley walk downstairs. Harley kisses him, "I have to get going to work." Cyrus grins, "Okay, I'm going to miss you." She smiles, "Will you be here when I get back?" He takes her hand, "Of course." The two kiss. Harley grabs her purse, "See ya." Harley leaves. Cyrus is very happy to be back with Harley. Everything is going right. A few minutes go by and there is a knock on the door. He rushes, "Did you forget something?" He opens it up and is stunned, "What are you doing here?" Guillespie is standing there, "Hey big brother. I'm here." Cyrus backs up, "What is going on? Did you run?" He shakes his head, "No. I was released. They decided that I was mentally stable and able to rejoin the community." Cyrus is in shock, "So you're out for good?" Guillespie grins, "I'm back!" Cyurs can't believe it, "I thought it would be years!" He nods, "Where is Susan? I have to see her." Cyrus is worried about what to tell him. PART TWO: Cross Creek: Dinah is upset with her mother. Dinah looks at her, "How dare you. How dare you side with Mallet over me! I'm you're daughter!" Vanessa shakes her head, "I'm not siding! There shouldn't even be sides, you two are married." Dinah sighs, "Mallet is sneaking around behind my back. He is manipulating our children. My children! Belinda isn't his daughter!" Vanessa shakes her head, "I can't believe you would say that. Mallet loves Belinda, he adopted her with you. I hope he never has to hear you say that to him." Dinah laughs, "Oh poor Mallet right? He has to deal with your evil bitch of a daugther?" Vanessa shakes her head, "I never said that." Dinah looks at her "Why don't you just follow me around 24/7 that way you can walk up to every person I meet and apologize for what a horrible person I am? That would be great." Vanessa sighs, "We have come so far Dinah let's not do this now. We need to talk like adults." Dinah looks at her mother, "I can see it in your eyes. You helped them. You helped Mallet with this. I bet this was all your idea. You are trying to break up my marriage." Vanessa gets angry, "Oh stop it Dinah!" Dinah looks at her, "No! You stop it! You stay away from me and my family. No one is going to take my life from me. No one." Dinah storms out leaving Vanessa shaken. Farmhouse: Marah and Michelle are still in the kitchen. Jeffrey walks in, "Hey! You two having fun?" Michelle hugs him, "Jeffrey. How have you been?" He grins, "Great, how are the kids?" She smiles, "Just great. I just came over to chat with my maid of honor over here." Jeffrey smiles, "Well Michelle you picked the right woman." Marah gets up, "Hey Baby!" The two kiss. Michelle gets her purse, "I have to get going I'll leave you two love birds alone." Marah grins, "Thanks for coming. And hey I already promise that you will be the maid of honor at our wedding." Jeffrey looks at Marah but doesn't say anything. Michelle smiles, "I'm going to hold you to that." Marah hugs her, "See ya." Michelle walks to the door, "Bye. Bye Jeffrey." Jeffrey gets the door, "Bye Michelle." After she leaves Marah starts cleaning up. Jeffrey walks over to her, "So you were talking about 'our' wedding?" She sighs, "Oh we were just joking around, don't worry. I know we aren't there yet." Jeffrey sighs, "Marah I'm not going to be there." She looks at him, "Don't worry we don't have to talk about it right now." He nods, "Yes we do. Marah I'm not going to marry you, ever." Marah is very upset by what he is saying. Cedars: Noah is taking Reva through treatment. She is laying down, "Oh I hate being so tired." Noah looks at her, "Well someone like you needs to learn to settle down for a little bit." She laughs, "Yeah right." Noah looks at all the pictures, "I can't believe how grown up Marah and Shayne are now." She nods, "My babies." Noah picks up a picture, "Is this Jonathan?" She smiles, "Yeah! I can't believe you recognized him." Noah grins, "Of course, he looks a lot like Richard." She laughs, "Well unfortunately he is not to much like Richard, more like me. More like me then any of my other children." He smiles, "Well good for him." She smiles, "You're sweet." He pics up another, "Susan. Wow she sure grew up." Reva nods, "Oh yes. That Susan is quite the little trouble maker. She kind of is like me too. Only she just can't stay out of trouble but I love my grandddaughter." Noah pics up Sarah's picture, "Wow, she's adorable." Reva grins, "That is Jonathan and Lizzie's baby." Noah shakes his head, "I can't believe little Lizzie is a mother." Reva nods, "She is a great mother." Reva starts putting the pictures back in her purse. Noah looks at her, "Is your ride on their way?" She gasps, "Oh God! Oh I forgot all about that. Marah was supposed to pick me up but she had to meet with Michelle, and I was going to call someone else but I forgot." Noah shakes his head, "Just get your stuff together. I'll give you a ride home." Reva smiles at Noah. Towers: Annie turns away from Josh. Josh looks at her, "Reva has breast cancer." Annie sighs, "It's just weird. I mean for years I thought that Reva Shayne would die at my hands. Now..." Josh shakes his head, "Well she isn't dying. She's fighting and she's going to beat it. She's done it before." Annie nods, "Reva had cancer before?" He nods, "Yes. She got through it all on her own." Annie sighs, "I'm sure you had something to do with it." Josh shakes his head, "No. I wasn't there for Reva. The whole situation is complicated." Annie nods, "Well I'm sure Reva Shayne will be able to handle it. If she can take on me then what chance does cancer have?" Josh laughs, "None." Annie nods, "I hope Marah and Shayne get through this okay. They grew up to be amazing adults." Josh smiles, "Yes they did. And I know it's complicated now but you were good with them when they were young and you had a part in how they turned out Annie." She wipes a tear and laughs, "Well don't tell them that." Josh grins, "I'm glad to see you're... happy." Annie nods, "Thank you. You too." The two of them smile at each other. Spaulding Mansion: Blake walks over to Alan. She looks at him, "Do you feel bad at all Alan? I mean I may be single right now but you, you're a married man." Alan nods, "I'm well aware of my status thank you." She shakes her head, "I thought you were so madly in love with Natalia." He nods, "I have no idea where she and my baby boy are. I may never see them again." Blake sighs, "Alan-" He stops her, "I'm not going to discuss this now. We are supposed to be talking about Remy and Elizabeth." Blake nods, "Okay. They aren't even dating so maybe we should slow things down a little." Alan sighs, "Remy is pursuing Elizabeth. It's only a matter of time before he convinces her to turn her back on her family like they all do. I won't let that happen again." Blake looks him in the eyes, "Alan I need you to promise me, promise me that Remy won't be hurt." Alan shakes his head, "Oh stop it Blake." She grabs him by the shirt, "Listen! I am not going to let you do this. I don't want this to be another Tammy Winslow. I want you to promise me that Remy won't get hurt." Alan sighs, "Only emotionally." Blake backs away from Alan. Blake begins to wonder if this was a bad idea. Harley's House: Cyrus turns his back to his brother. Guillespie looks at him, "What's going on with Susan?" Cyrus sighs, "A lot has been going on with Susan. She got messed up in some bad drugs for a while." G sighs, "Damn it! I knew that was going to happen. She swore to me that she had it under control." Cyrus nods, "I helped her or at least I thought I did." G looks at him, "So what? She is doing drugs again? Is that what you are telling me?" Cyrus shakes his head, "No. She found something else to become addicted to in place of it." Guillespie is confused, "What?" Cyrus shakes his head, "Not what who." G scoffs, "I have no idea what you're talking about." Cyrus turns to him, "Will you listen to me! She found someone else! There is another guy!" G shakes his head, "No! Susan said she would wait for me." Cyrus sighs, "I'm sorry." G is confused, "Who? Who would she cheat with?" Cyrus sighs, "Gus Aitoro. Detective Gus Aitoro. Her ex stepfather." Guillespie is shocked by this. PREVIEWS: Cyrus has to hide his brother!

There are many regrets in Springfield... Spaulding Enterprises: Mr. Wallace announced, "Ladies and gentleman, your official CEO, Ms. Annie Dutton." Annie stands, "Thank you all for your support. And those of you who didn't support me.... well I'm sorry." Dinah and Olivia stand at her sides. Alex turns to Alan, "I hope your happy, you know if you had put your pride aside and voted for your son he would be the CEO right and not her. Not Annie Dutton." Alan is angry, "That is enough Alexandra." Harley gets up, "I don't feel well." Cyrus stands, "You want me to take you home?" She nods, "Yeah I think I should be going." Gus looks at her, "Babe you okay?" Harley just walks away with Cyrus. Rafe and Liz walk over to Annie. Liz shakes her hand, "Congratulations." Rafe smiles, "You're going to do a fine job I'm sure." Annie grins, "I knew I could count on you two to finally see the light. I will remember this." Alan walks over to his Grandchildren, "I hope you two are satisfied." Liz turns to him, "If I ever want my daughter to come home, then you need to stay out of power." Annie smiles at Alan. Ravenwood: Ava is lashing out. She screams, "Get out!!! Go away!" Shayne stops her, "You need to stop. Because I'm not going anywhere." The nurse walks in, "What is going on? Is the patient behaving dangerously Ms. Lewis?" Shayne looks at her, "No. There is no problem here." The nurse stares at them. Ava looks at her, "You heard him. No problem. Now waddle your fat ass out of my room." The nurse shakes her head and leaves. Shayne turns to her, "That was nice." She walks away, "Why did you do that? You could have safely escorted out while they strapped me down in here." Shayne looks at her, "I told you that you weren't hopeless Ava. I know there must be some good in you." Ava shakes her head, "Not really." He sighs, "You keep putting up a tough front. Why can't you let yourself be vulnerable and real." She looks at him, "I don't need pity. I want people to be intimidated by me. That's what I want." He laughs, "You are the daughter of Edmund Winslow and Olivia Spencer. That right there would scare the hell out of anyone in Springfield." Ava tries not to laugh when he says things. Beacon: Edmund is in his room. There is a knock on the door. He walks to the door, "This better be important." He opens to door to see Cassie. He is shocked, "Cassie?" She sighs, "Hello Edmund. We need to talk." He stares, "What is going on?" She sighs, "I've been thinking about you." Edmund smiles, "Really?" She nods, "A friend told me today that in order to receive forgiveness we have to forgive." He is confused, "Who is this friend?" She answers reluctantly, "Jeffrey-" He goes to shut the door. She stops him, "Can I please come in? I just, I think there are things we need to talk about." Edmund looks her in the eyes, "So you are here to forgive me?" She nods, "That's the plan." He sighs, "You really think you can do that?" She shakes her head, "I don't know. But I am sure going to try. If you can let me." Edmund steps aside. Cassie walks in. Spaulding Enterprises: Olivia looks at Annie and Dinah, "I'm going to schedule a celebratory party at Towers." Annie hugs her, "Oh thank you Olivia. You two have been great partners and now we finally won." Olivia leaves. Dinah hugs Annie, "Can you believe it! We got you named the official CEO! Everything is working out." Annie smiles, "We make a great team." Dinah looks at her, "So you want me to get the press together?" Annie shakes her head, "It's taken care of. Go home and see your family. Surprise them with something." Dinah grins, "That's a good idea." Dinah hugs Annie and then heads home. Alan sits by himself. Annie walks over to him, "You okay big guy?" He scoffs, "As if you care." She looks at him, "I still have a small place in my heart for you." He looks at her, "Somehow I think even if I won I still wouldn't be happy. The love of my life is not here." Annie sighs, "Well I am sorry but maybe it just wasn't meant to be with you and her." Alan shakes his head, "You don't know what you're talking about." Annie sighs, "Come on. I hear she was the hotel maid. The sweet little catholic. Not your type." Alan sighs, "Natalia changed me." Annie stands up, "Alan, maybe you were never meant to be changed." Annie walks away. Alan sits and ponders. Side of the Road: Michelle is driving home. Her car starts to break down. She pulls over, "No, no, no." Michelle tries to call Bill. Her phone died. Michelle finally gets out and goes to check out the car. The second she gets under the hood she hears it. The motorcycle is pulling up. Jesse gets off, "Having car trouble?" She turns to him, "Did you follow me?" He laughs, "No, I was on my bike and I saw you. Luck you huh?" She shakes her head, "I can take care of this. But thank you very much I appreciate it. See ya." Jesse walks over, "And what are you going to do." She looks inside, "I'm going to take this out." He laughs, "You take that out and you'll never get it going." She turns to him, "Just let me borrow your phone please and I will call Bill and you will be on your way." Jesse shakes his head, "Nonsense. Bill would never forgive me for letting his fiance out her by herself." Michelle is uncomfortable. Towers: Bill is leaving a meeting. He sees Olivia drinking at the bar. He rushes over, "What the hell are you doing?" She turns to him, "What? Oh this is water Bill." He sighs, "Oh I'm sorry. I just saw you here and I.... I'm sorry." She shakes her head, "No. Don't be. I'm actually quite flattered that you would be concerned." Bill nods, "Of course." She sighs, "Yeah I'm Emma's Mom." Bill laughs, "Believe it or not I would care even if you weren't. I care about you Olivia. I always will." She sighs, "Well thanks I needed to hear that. I've been craving a drink lately with everything going on." Bill looks at her, "What's going on?" Olivia sighs, "Well Gus has been sleeping with Susan. Your niece Susan. And Ava is only getting worse in Ravenwood. And to top it all off, Phillip is going to try and be in Emma's life again." Bill looks at her, "Well, I'm sorry about Gus and Susan. I had no idea. I really hope Ava gets better. I feel horrible for what happened to her. And there is no way in hell that you and I are going to let the Spauldings in Emma's life." Olivia smiles at Bill. He makes her feel safe. PART TWO: Harley's House: Cyrus walks Harley inside. Harley sighs, "I'm sorry if I've been leaning on you too much lately Cyrus. I just needed a friend." Cyrus looks at her, "No problem. I'm always going to be here for you." She smiles, "You're a great guy." He looks at her, "You seem tired. Let's get you in bed." The two walk up stairs. They go into the bedroom. Harley laughs, "It's been a while since we've been in here together." He nods, "Yep. But I think some of our best sex was while we were on the chase." She smiles, "I fell for you while we were chasing your brother and my daughter all over the country. I never expected to fall for a guy like you." He laughs, "Do you think I expected to fall for a detective/soccer mom?" Harley looks into his eyes, "I'm not feeling so tired anymore." Cyrus and Harley kiss. The two begin to make out and lay down on the bed. Harley begins to unbutton Cyrus's shirt. Beacon: Edmund and Cassie are sitting together. Cassie looks at him, "I forgave you a long time ago for everything that happened when I was with Richard." Edmund smiles, "And you forgiving me made me a better man. Maybe I can be that man again." She sighs, "I hope so. Because that man was a great man, that man was a man.... that I loved." Edmund looks into her eyes, "I am so sorry for what I did to you and Dinah, and Michelle. I was trying to hold onto you and I shouldn't have done it that way." Cassie has tears in her eyes, "Giving Hope to Danny and Michelle was one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make." Edmund sighs, "And I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry that you ever had to do any of that." She wipes a tear, "Things were so much better between us before we got married." He nods, "Maybe that was the one mistake. We should have kept on living in sin." She laughs, "Well you were really good with RJ and Will." Edmund sighs, "If there was ever any good in me it was because you put it there. I hope I can find it again one day. I'm so sorry Cassie. I'm so so sorry." Cassie takes his hand, "I forgive you Edmund. I forgive you." Edmund has tears rolling down his face. Words he has longed to hear. Side of the Road: Michelle stands a few feet away from the car. Jesse walks over, "I got good news and bad news." She sighs, "Of course you do." He looks at her, "I found the problem with your car. But you need a new part to it." She sighs, "Unless it's a tire I don't have anything." He nods, "There's a shop not to far from here. I can go get it." She nods, "Okay. Thank you." He looks at her, "I have a second helmet." She shakes her head, "I'm not getting on the back of your motorcycle Jesse. Sorry." He looks at her, "I'm not leaving you out here by yourself. Bill would never forgive me." She sighs, "I'm not a kid anymore. I'm a Mom. And a Doctor. I've seen so many idiots after they crash on these things." Jesse smiles, "I'll go slow. But I have a feeling once we're on you'll be begging me to speed." He hands her the helmet. Michelle puts it on and gets on the bike. She wraps her arms around him. The two drive off. Mallet and Dinah's: Dinah gets out of her car. She grabs a cake from the back. Dinah has her hands full and rings the doorbell. No one answers. She continues ringing it. Finally she puts her stuff down and opens the door. Dinah carries everything in, "I'm home! Mommy had a great day and we are going to celebrate!" Dinah walks in. She gets no response. She hollers again, "Come on! Where is everybody? Mallet, Maureen, Belinda? Where is Anthony?" Dinah sees a note. It's from Mallet, "Dear Dinah, I'm taking the family on a little trip, spur of the moment, You and I always loved spur of the moment. Or we used to. Anyways Maureen will be helping me. We'll be back, but hopefully you'll take this time to finish whatever project your working on and when we come home you can remember the children that you've been doing this for.... And maybe even me. I miss you. Love Mallet." Dinah shakes her head, "No! Mallet!" She goes to the garage and the car is gone. Dinah runs into the rooms upstairs. Every one's stuff is packed. Dinah falls down in the hallways, "Oh my God! Oh God what have I done?" Dinah cries alone in her hallway. Ravenwood: Ava lays on her bed. Shayne looks at her, "You know, you say you're this bad girl. But I have a feeling you weren't always a bad girl." Ava sits up, "No. I wasn't. I used to be a good girl. Just like my adopted mother Connie Peralta. I was in love with Sandy Foster." He looks at her, "Sandy?" She nods, "That's what brought me to town." Shayne nods, "Sandy was a good guy." Ava looks down, "He loved Tammy though. He was over me. So I found another guy Coop. But he was with Lizzie Spaulding. Eventually we got together. And I hurt him the same way Sandy hurt me. I fell for a rich loser. And pushed him away." He nods, "Everyone makes mistakes." Ava sighs, "I finally thought Bill was the guy I was meant to be with. But he couldn't keep his hands off my mother." She laughs. He looks at her, "I can't even imagine how that feels." Ava sighs, "The good girl thing didn't help me, the bad girl thing isn't working out. I'm just giving up on love." Shayne shakes his head, "No. Never, ever give up on love. I know that I never will." Ava stares at him. Shayne looks at his watch, "I have to get going." Ava nods, "Goodbye Mr. Lewis." He smiles, "No. See you later Ava." An annoyed Ava rolls her eyes. Shayne leaves. Ava lays back down and stares at the ceiling. She is trying to fight the smile that is appearing on her face. Spaulding Mansion: Alan walks into the dining room. He has been drinking. He is frustrated with everything going on. He kicks a chair, "Damn it! Damn it!" Alan is knocking everything around. He looks at the picture of him and Natalia's wedding. He takes it and sits down, "Where are you Natalia? Why are you hiding from me? How am I supposed to be happy without you and my son? How am I supposed to know if you are ever coming home?" Blake walks up with a drink in her hand, "It hurts, knowing that the love of your life would rather hide from you than be with you?" Alan sighs, "What would you know about that?" Blake knows she can't tell him about Ross, "Oh Alan. Just accept it. Maybe Natalia just couldn't handle your lifestyle." Alan nods, "She made me feel good. Then she just took it all away. Not only has she made me at my happiest, she has hurt me more than I thought anyone could. I trusted her." Blake sighs, "Life is so screwed up. People like us never get to have what we want. And if we get it it's taken away." Alan looks at her, "I have to say Blake, I'm kind of glad that you're here right now." She sighs, "Well I'll deny saying this when I'm more sober, but I'm kind of glad I'm here right now too." Alan looks into Blake's eyes. The wedding picture falls from his hands. Alan and Blake lean in and kiss. They drop their drinks. Alan picks Blake up and lays her down on the dining room table. Blake starts loosening Alan's tie. The two begin to take their clothes off as they continue to kiss. PREVIEWS: Blake regrets her actions Michelle and Marah make more plans Annie runs into Josh Reva goes for more treatment Cyrus gets a shocking visitor! Dinah confronts Vanessa

Huge decisions impact Springfield... Spaulding Enterprises: The official voting day has begun. Today everyone will find out the CEO of Spaulding Enterprises. Alan walks in with his sister. Alex turns to him, "You must be pretty excited Alan. Today either you or Phillip will become the CEO." Alan scoffs, "I will become the CEO Alexandra don't you worry." Alex sighs, "As long as Annie Dutton isn't CEO I don't care who is." Alan shakes his head, "Bite you tongue Alexandra." Phillip and Beth (Lorelei) walk up. Phillip smiles, "Good morning Dad, Aunt Alex. The day we have been waiting for is finally here." Alan nods, "Well son, I'm glad to see that you are being so optimistic. But I hope you aren't truly expecting to win or else you are going to be very disappointed." Phillip nods, "We'll see about that Dad." Liz and Rafe enter. Alan turns to him, "Well hello Raphael. That was a very nice show you put on at the party." Rafe sighs, "I'm glad I could help." Liz looks at him, "Just sit down, don't talk to them." Phillip looks at his daughter, "Lizzie..." She walks past him. Annie, Olivia and Dinah walk in. Olivia feels awkward, "If Gus shows up... I just don't want to deal with him right now." Annie sighs, "Relax. Today everything is going to go our way. And Gus will be a distant memory." Olivia takes her seat. Dinah sighs, "I feel bad for her." Annie takes her hand, "Well you know what, don't. Don't feel bad because Mel, Natalia, and Olivia all have bad relationships. You have something very good with Mallet and nothing will ruin that." Dinah smiles at her. Mallet and Dinah's: Mallet's running late for work. Maureen walks in, "Hey I dropped Belinda off at Clarissa's. Sorry I got caught in traffic." Mallet looks at her, "Don't be sorry. Thank you for everything you've been doing for us." Maureen sighs, "Of course. Anthony and Belinda are very special to me. I have no problem taking her places and watching him during the day." Mallet shakes his head, "It shouldn't be like this. We shouldn't have to bend over backwards by ourselves. Dinah is their mother and she needs to be here with us." Maureen sighs, "Mallet, Dinah loves us all. She is trying to make everything okay for us." He shakes his head, "We hardly ever see your sister! She is always working and going to meetings and spending time with people like Annie Dutton and Olivia Spencer." She nods, "I know, I know! I have no idea what is going on with Dinah. Sometimes I feel like Anthony barely knows her. And Belinda, she wanted to get to know her mother and that's not happening. I feel bad saying this but sometimes I feel like I'm becoming their mother." Mallet looks at her, "We can't live like this. You start school soon. We shouldn't have to do this." Maureen has tears in her eyes, "Mallet what are you talking about?" Mallet looks at Maureen, "I'm gonna have to give Dinah an ultimatum." Maureen worries about the two of them. Beacon: Jeffrey walks into the Beacon. He looks at the front desk. Cassie is standing behind the desk. He looks at her, "Cassie? What are you doing?" She sighs, "Oh... I guess it was only a matter of time before someone saw me working here." Jeffrey nods, "It's just confusing. I thought you sold your half of the Beacon to Olivia and now she is partners with Natalia." Cassie nods, "Yes and after some persuading I was able to get Olivia to give me a job here." Jeffrey looks at her, "Oh so you run the front desk." Cassie sighs, "Yes. I went from owning this hotel to working for it." Jeffrey nods, "Well that's good. I mean you are trying to start your life over and you have to start somewhere you know?" She sighs, "I guess your right. I'm very grateful for the job and everything I have right now." He nods, "I'm sorry about Reva." Cassie sighs, "Well it's been tough but she'll get through it. And this time I'm going to be a much better sister." Jeffrey looks her in the eyes, "You've always been a good sister." She shakes her head, "No I haven't. But I am now. Right now I'm focusing on my number one priority." Jeffrey is interested, "What's that?" She takes a deep breath, "My redemption." Jeffrey smiles at her. Spaulding Enterprises: Gus walks in and looks around. He is looking for Harley. Harley walks in with Cyrus. Gus turns to her to say something. She shakes her head, "I'm just here for business." Cyrus and Harley take seats next to each other. Lucy and Blake follow and sit next to them. Gus walks over to Rafe, "I hope your happy Son." Rafe smiles, "I am. I'm tired of hypocrites." Gus nods, "You think your mother would approve of this?" Rafe shakes his head, "Well she's not here. She left this town to get away from people like you." Rafe takes his seat. Annie walks over to Alexandra. Alex turns to her, "Oh Annie. I don't even know what to say to you." Annie grins, "Alexandra, just say congratulations. You might as well get it over with. Because after today I will officially become the CEO of Spaulding Enterprises." Alex grins, "You sure you want it? You sure you can handle it?" Annie nods, "Of course I can." Alex sighs, "I've heard that before, from Alan, Phillip, Alan Michael, and Cassie. If you consider that handling it.... good luck Annie. You are going to need especially if you win." Alex takes her seat. Annie just shakes her head and walks back to her seat. Cross Creek: Bill and Michelle are sitting on the couch going over wedding plans. Bill turns to her, "We have some non-wedding plans to take care of just in case you forgot." She looks at him, "Like?" He sighs, "We don't live together. You live at your house I live here. Where are we gonna live?" She sits back, "Wow I can't believe we haven't talked about that yet. I guess we should." Bill nods, "It's pretty important." She looks at him, "Well I mean my family home means a lot to me. So many memories." He sighs, "But you got your father and your brother living there. Plus Rick's kids are there half the time." She nods, "Yeah the kids can all play together." He nods, "I know but it's getting crowded." She sighs, "This cabin is no mansion either. You got your parents, Josh, and whatever Lewis is in town at the time." He grins, "Well I think we know what this means." She sighs, "I guess we should start looking at places." He smiles, "What about this?" He lays blueprints out in front of her. Michelle is confused, "What am I looking at?" He grins, "It's our house Michelle." Michelle is very confused. Ravenwood: Shayne is talking with nurses. A nurse smiles, "So nice of you to volunteer Mr. Lewis. But are you sure this is the patient you want to work with?" He nods, "Yes. I'll work with others too. But I think I can be a good friend to this person. Someone who needs a friend." The nurse nods, "Well I'll be listening. In case something happens." He chuckles, "I think I'll be fine." She lets Shayne in. Ava shouts, "Leave me alone whoever you are!" Shayne walks in, "Hello." She looks at him, "You. What the hell are you doing here?" He smiles, "Nice to see you too. Do you know who I am?" She nods, "Yeah you're Bill's gay cousin. Why are you here?" He sits in a chair, "You know I think we were also step brother and sister at one point." Ava sighs, "Wow too bad we didn't get to grow up together. We could have played boardgames and go camping. And Marah and I could have done each other's hair and then I'd get up early and smother her in her sleep." Shayne sighs, "Well that would have been interesting." Ava grins, "You see this is the part where you tell me I'm a hopeless psycho bitch and then you leave." He smiles, "Don't talk like that. You're not hopeless." Ava is getting annoyed by him. PART TWO: Beacon: Cassie is on her break. Jeffrey and her sit in the lobby. Jeffrey smiles, "Do you remember the time you threw me out of the hotel? We were right over there." She laughs, "Oh yeah. But you offended me. But you always offended me. I said something like, 'I want you out of my hotel and out of my life Mr. O'Neill. Consider yourself evicted'." He laughs, "And of course I thought you were bluffing then I called trying to apologize." She shakes her head, "I wasn't gonna forgive you. I was going to throw your stuff out and I ended up trapped on the roof with some psycho." He smiles, "I'm glad I found you." She sighs, "You saved my life." He nods, "Well I really just wanted to keep my room here." She laughs, "Of course. I think that was one of the moments where I really started to see your heart." He sighs, "The beginning of my redemption? Well one of them," Jeffrey looks in her eyes, "If you don't mind me asking, when was it that you forgave me for... what happened in San Cristobal?" She sighs, "I didn't take long to forgive you. I mean you know that's not the real reason we broke up. I mean my whole thing was about..." He nods, "I know I know." She sighs, "I just knew in my heart that even though you violated me that way, you were sorry and you would have spent the rest of your life making it up to me." Jeffrey nods, "And that's why I am able to forgive. You see you can't be forgiven unless your forgive others. That's something I've learned." Cassie is really listening to him. Cassie knows what she has to do now. Cross Creek: Michelle is looking at the blue prints. Bill smiles, "I know you're probably having trouble reading them." She shakes her head, "I'm confused. Where is this house?" He grins, "Well I'm still looking at places but I was thinking about this one here." She looks at the address, "That's... no I don't think so Bill." He is confused, "What?" She turns to him, "I don't buy into curses and stuff but there were two houses that have burned down there in the last year." Bill sighs, "But they were arson! I know it sounds bad but just coincidences." Michelle shakes her head, "The last house. The last house was the house Danny built for Marina. The house burned down with Marina's baby boy inside. Danny's baby boy. I can't have a house there." Bill sighs, "God I'm sorry. I didn't even... I'm so sorry. That was a dumb idea." She looks at him, "It's okay. I just feel like you are trying to move fast and make decisions without me." He shakes his head, "I'm sorry we'll work on everything together." She smiles, "Okay. Because I am more than ready to become your wife." Bill puts his arm around her, "Michelle Lewis." Michelle is a little uncomfortable hearing that name. Spaulding Enterprises: Mr. Wallace stands before everyone, "These weeks have been interesting. I must say it's been a wild ride. For weeks we heard these people give us their plans, their strategies and overall convince us to allow them this far. Alliances were formed and broken, outbursts, and so much stress on everyone. But by the end of the day we'll have our official CEO. Either Annie Dutton will be officially sworn in or the title will go to Alan Spaulding or Phillip Spaulding. Now the voting will begin." Alan, Annie, and Phillip all vote for themselves. Due to proxies Annie is in the lead. Alex stands up, "I Alexandra Spaulding vote for the one person I trust the most. Phillip Spaulding as CEO of Spaulding Enterprises." Cyrus rises, "I vote for Phillip Spaulding as CEO of Spaulding Enterprises." Harley stands up, she turns to Phillip, "Phillip, I forgive you and I trust you again. I Harley Cooper vote for Phillip Spaulding as CEO of Spaulding Enterprises." Lucy agrees with her sister, "I Lucy Cooper vote for Phillip Spaulding as CEO of Spaulding Enterprises." Blake stands, "I Christina Blake Thorpe Marler vote for Alan Spaulding as CEO of Spaulding Enterprises. He's the right man for the job." Alan grins. The ladies sit. Harley looks at her, "Why Blake? Why?" Blake shakes her head, "It's just how I feel Harley." Olivia turns to Annie, "Are you worried?" Annie shakes her head, "No. It is closer than I assumed. But I think my plan will go just the way I planned from the beginning." Annie smiles to herself. Ravenwood: Shayne sits next to Ava. He looks at her, "You know I spent years in Peace Corps. I was helping people in Bosnia and all kinds of other places. It was just the best experience of my life." She nods, "And that's where you met your boyfriend right? Whats-his-name, Coop's gay brother?" Shayne smiles and looks down, "So is that the only thing you know about me? That I dated a man?" Ava sighs, "Sorry when I was going over the biographies of annoying losers I must have skipped you." He laughs, "You're funny." She looks at him, "And you're a moron." He looks at her, "Why do you have to be so rude?" She shakes her head, "I'm not some charity case. So why don't you go build a house or something?" He stares at her, "Why won't you look me in the eye?" She is getting more angry, "Leave me alone bud. You have no idea who you're talking to." He sighs, "Are you afraid if people look in your eyes they'll see the real you?" She jumps up, "Get out!!! Get out!" He grabs her, "That's enough! I'm not going to leave, I'm not going to hide, I'm not going to respond to your tantrums the way you want me too. I'm an adult and so are you Ava. Act like it." The nurse walks in, "Is there a problem?" Ava and Shayne both turn to her. Mallet and Dinah's: Maureen walks downstairs with Anthony. Mallet gets off the phone, "Okay I just got off the phone with the station. I'm taking my vacation time and David is going to be filling in for me while I'm gone." Maureen looks at him, "Where are you going?" He sighs, "I think we all need a vacation. A very well deserved vacation how does that sound?" Maureen shakes her head, "Mallet I don't think Dinah is going to have time for that." He sighs, "Who said Dinah was coming?" Maureen looks at him, "Mallet..." He nods, "Belinda and Anthony have had a crappy summer. They deserve it, I'm not going to let Dinah stop them from enjoying themselves. I could use your help. I would pay you of course to watch them." She shakes her head, "I love those kids Mallet. I would do anything for them, you know that." He nods, "I know but you're a young woman who should be going out with her friends not raising two children." She sighs, "I love them. Mallet I'm just worried about how Dinah is going to react." Mallet takes a deep breath, "I hope this is a wake up call for her as to what she is missing. But a part of me is really afraid that she won't even notice we are gone." Maureen has tears in her eyes. Mallet goes upstairs to pack. Spaulding Enterprises: The voting continues. Lorelei stands up, "I Beth Raines Spaulding, vote for my husband who is the perfect man for the job. I vote for Phillip Spaulding as CEO of Spaulding Enterprises." Mr. Wallace looks on, "To keep you all up to date Mr. Phillip Spaulding is in the lead with Ms. Dutton in a close second." Alan is very unhappy. Olivia rises, "I am so happy to say that Spaulding Enterprises will be run by someone who knows what they are doing. I Olivia Spencer vote for Annie Dutton as CEO of Spaulding Enterprises." Dinah stands next to her, "I second that. I Dinah Marler Mallet votes for Annie Dutton as CEO of Spaulding Enterprises." Annie catching up with Phillip. Rafe stands up, "You know these meetings have been a real eye opener to see just how fake some people are in this family. So that is the reason why I Raphael Rivera Spaulding, votes for Ms. Annie Dutton as the CEO of Spaulding Enterprises." Liz rises, "I agree with my cousin. I am not doing this out of revenge. I think it's time for some change. I Elizabeth Spaulding vote for Annie Dutton as CEO of Spaulding Enterprises." Phillip is very upset with his daughter but respects her decision. Mr. Wallace counts once more to be sure. He looks up, "Well it appears it's official. The official CEO of Spaulding Enterprises. Ladies and Gentleman Ms. Annie Dutton." Annie rises with a huge grin. Dinah and Olivia stand at her sides. Nearly half of the room is very upset. PREVIEWS: Alan finds a way to take out his anger Olivia chats with Bill Michelle gets a surprising helping hand Dinah comes home to an empty house Shayne tries to get through to Ava Harley leans on Cyrus Cassie visits someone shocking!

People's actions have consequences in Springfield... Towers: Susan and Gus are on the balcony. Gus looks at her, "I think it's best if we just leave everything we shared in the past." Susan nods, "I think so too. No one ever has to know about the time we spent together." They share a hug. They walk back into the party and are stunned as all eyes are on them. Rafe is standing on the bar, "Well if it isn't the couple of the hour!" Susan and Gus are stunned to see themselves on the screen making love. Gus shouts, "Turn that off!" After a few moments the projector is shut off by Liz. Liz walks over to Rafe, "Rafe you didn't tell me..." Gus looks at Olivia. She walks over and smacks him across the face, "You sick pig. I can't believe I fell for your crap." He sighs, "Olivia I never..." She walks away. Gus and Susan look at the center to the room. Harley is standing with her back to them. Both are afraid to see her face. Slowly Harley turns around to both of them in shock and confusion. Harley's eyes are filled with tears, "I don't understand... The love of my life and my own daughter? Tell me I it's not true, tell me it's wrong." Gus and Susan are speechless. Spaulding Mansion: Mel is sitting in the living room. Alan Michael has gone upstairs to bed and made it clear he wants to be left alone. Mel has never felt comfortable in this house. Alexandra walks in, "Well, hello." Mel turns to her, "Hi Alexandra. I didn't think anyone would be home. I expected you all to be at Towers." Alex nods, "Well I was darling. But I just made my appearance and headed back home." Mel sighs, "Yeah. Was anyone talking about..." Alex nods, "Alan Michael's breakdown? Darling I'm sure half the town is talking about it." Mel looks down, "I just want to help him get through this." Alex laughs, "Help him? You sided with Annie Dutton and plotted behind his back." Mel shakes her head, "You don't understand. I was trying to help him. I saw what was happening to him. I saw him getting sucked back into the Spaulding web-" Alex scoffs, "Now that is enough! I am sick and tired of all of this talk about how the Spauldings are vicious monsters. No one is perfect Mel. But you used to come pretty close. You want to talk about getting sucked into the Spaulding web. What about you? Do you think you were the kind of person who could betray their husband before you became a Spaulding?" Mel turns her head away. Mall: Ashlee and Roxie are walking through the parking lot. Roxie looks at her, "Did you like the outfits I bought you?" Ashlee smiles, "I do. But I'm going to pay you back I promise you that I will Roxie." Roxie smiles, "Nonsense. Those were my gift to you. You deserve them, a young woman like you deserves the best." Ashlee nods, "I just haven't had time to shop lately. I mean becoming a doctor is not easy." Roxie looks at her, "Are you sure being a doctor is really what you want to do Ashlee?" Ashlee nods, "Of course. I mean I've found my passion. I love helping people and I think I want to become a pediatrician possibly." Roxie looks at her, "Well I just think a person with your personality should think about her options." Ashlee sighs, "Well I used to dream of being a journalist. I worked with Dinah Marler for a while at WSPR." Roxie grins, "You should apply for a position at WSPR." Ashlee shakes her head, "I don't have any time with classes and everything." Roxie looks her in the eyes, "Just promise me you'll think about it. Maybe being a doctor isn't right for you." Ashlee nods, "I'll think about it sure." Ashlee gets in the car. Roxie smiles to herself and then gets into the car. Towers: Harley walks away. Gus steps in front of her, "Babe please just let me explain." She shoves him, "Get away from me! How could you do that? Of all the people you could have..." Harley walks away. Susan grabs her arm, "Mom please!" Harley pulls away, "Do not, put your damn hands on me!" Harley runs off. Annie Dutton gets out of the elevator. She walks over to Dinah, "What did I miss?" Dinahs sighs, "In a nutshell. Gus Aitoro who is dating Olivia sort of. Who also is the love of Harley's life, just revealed that he has been sleeping with Harley's daughter Susan." Annie has a slight chuckle, "Wow. Sorry I missed that. Sounds like Harley's daughter takes after her." Dinah shakes her head, "No... it's weird, I actually delivered her when Harley gave birth. We were in high school..." Annie stops her, "We don't have time for a trip down memory lane. It sounds like Gus is just like his brother and his father. We need to use that to our advantage." Dinah shakes her head, "I don't know. Olivia was upset. I should check on her." Annie nods, "No. She's strong. She'll be fine. Come on, let's work the room." Dinah and Annie walk around and chat. Company: Shayne and Bill walk in. Bill smiles, "Oh I didn't think we were ever gonna get done at the office today." Shayne nods, "Yep. Did you see our Dad's. They looked like they were about to fall asleep." Bill laughs, "Well that's gonna be us one day. But for now let's enjoy the fact that we can still keep our eyes open past 9." The two grab a table. Shayne sits, "So Marah said that she was helping design Michelle's dress for the wedding?" Bill nods, "Yes. And of course Mindy already ordered Marah to send her a rough draft for her approval." Shayne nods, "Will Mindy be here for the wedding?" Bill sighs, "I hope so. I'm hoping Dylan can too." Shayne grins, "It'll be great to have the whole family back together. We can use some good times." Bill sighs, "How's your Mom doing?" Shayne sighs, "She's okay. She's strong." Bill nods, "Well you tell her that she needs to stick around so she can tell my son stories about his great grandfather." Shayne smiles, "How is little HB?" Bill grins, "He's great. Almost a year old. I just... I feel bad, Ava's gonna miss his 1st birthday. But she's just not stable." Ravenwood: Ava lays on her bed and stares at the ceiling. A nurse opens the door. Ava shouts, "I asked to be left alone for the day!" Edmund walks in, "Not even for me?" Ava jumps up, "Daddy! You're here!" Edmund hugs her, "Oh of course I am." Ava grins, "I knew it! I knew you were gonna come to get me out of here sooner or later." Edmund sighs, "Well I will but unfortunately I can't today." Ava shakes her head, "But I was supposed to be out of here weeks ago. You made a deal." He nods, "I did but sadly that deal fell through." She shakes her head, "No you don't understand. This place makes crazy people sane but it also makes sane people crazy! I've got doctors and nurses who beat around the bush then ask me about Marah and Michelle and expect me to remain calm." Edmund tries to calm her down, "Ava I know it's tough but it's only going to make you stronger." Ava shakes her head, "No they don't even let me read the paper or watch TV anymore. I have no idea what's going on in Springfield." Edmund sighs, "Just trust me." Ava walks away from him, "Jeffrey would have got me out of here by now." Edmund is furious by her words. PART TWO: Beacon: Roxie pulls her car in front. Ashlee gets out. She walks around to Roxie's window, "Thanks for everything Roxie." Roxie grins, "Oh it was my pleasure. We must do it again." Ashlee reaches through and gives Roxie a big hug, "Bye." Ashlee walks inside. Roxie begins to dust herself off, "Disgusting weirdo." Roxie then drives off. She begins to talk to herself, "Ashlee actually seems like a nice kid. Even though she's a socially awkward, freaky, mess. But she's Doris's daughter. There has to be some coldness to her. Doris Wolfe. Who would have thought that you'd live in Springfield. My Springfield. After what you did to me, you have some nerve coming to this town and then going after my family. Reva and everyone she cares about." An angry Roxie has to pull over. Roxie is filled with hate. Roxie sighs, "Doris. You hurt me, you betrayed me, and you took everything from me. And I'm sorry to say it but it looks as if your precious Ashlee is going to pay the price." Spaulding Mansion: Mel is upset by Alexandra. Mel walks away, "I'm not going to fight with you Alexandra." Alex scoffs, "Well you better listen to me. Or else you are going to be doomed to have your life ruined." Mel turns to her, "What are you talking about?" Alex sits on the couch, "Come here." Mel sits with her. Alex looks at her, "In this world their are two kinds of people the powerful and the pawns. Annie Dutton is a powerful and she turned you and Alan Michael into her pawns." Mel shakes her head, "It's not like I sided with Annie. I was doing what I thought was best for Alan Michael." Alexandra nods, "And you have every right to do what's best for your husband. But you went to Annie Dutton. Annie is a psychopath. She may be more stable at the moment but no one can trust that woman. We can't let her be in control of the company." Mel shakes her head, "I don't give a damn about your company!" Alex shouts, "It's not just the company! Whoever is CEO holds all the power, of the company, of this house, heck even the town. Right now Annie Dutton is on her thrown. And as long as she is up there she is going to make everyone's lives hell. You thought Alan was bad? Just wait." Mel shakes her head, "It doesn't matter. Alan Michael and I aren't going to the next meeting." Alex nods, "Are you getting a proxy?" Mel sighs, "Alan Michael refuses to have his vote for anyone. And I signed mine to Olivia." Alex gets up, "Olivia Spencer?" she laughs, "Oh goodness. She's trustworthy huh?" Mel sighs, "Olivia is my friend." Alex nods, "You and Natalia putting your trusts into Dinah Marler and Olivia Spencer. There is something very wrong with that picture." Alexandra walks away leaving Mel with a lot to think about. Towers: Blake sits back down with Alan. She sighs, "Wow. What a party huh? But you know I wouldn't expect anything less in Springfield." He scoffs, "I hope you are not planning to go check on Harley." Blake shakes her head, "I don't even know what I'd say." Alan nods, "I guess you can relate to Susan. After what happened between you, your mother and Ross." Blake turns to him, "You really want to talk to me about parents and children hooking up with the same people?" Alan laughs, "I suppose not." Blake looks at him, "We're not friends Alan. Don't forget that. All I need from you is to keep Lizzie away from Remy." Alan grins at her. Back by the kitchen Harley is hiding. Phillip approaches her, "You okay?" She shakes her head, "The love of my life has been screwing my daughter. Of course not." Phillip sits by her, "Yeah. I remember coming home to find out that Beth had married my father. That was rough." Harley cries, "I feel sick. I don't even know if I'm allowed to be mad." Phillip nods, "Of course you are. There are lines that you don't cross." Harley laughs, "But who am I to judge. I was married to Gus's brothers, you and Alan Michael." Phillip nods, "It's different." Harley sighs, "You are being so nice to me." Phillip nods, "Well I was under the impression we could be friends again." Harley cries, "I've missed you Phillip." The two hug. Company: The waitress brings the food over. Bill smiles, "Thank you. This looks great." The waitress looks at Shayne, "How are you Mr. Lewis?" He smiles, "Great now. Food brought to me by a beautiful woman. What more could I want." She giggles then walks away. Bill grins, "You got the Lewis charm my friend." Shayne laughs, "I suppose so. She's cute." Bill looks at him, "So are you thinking of going out with women again." Shayne sighs, "Okay. I know it's hard to understand but I don't just date men or women. I am open. I find both attractive. But yes right now I'm leaning towards women." Bill grins, "Well I'm gonna help you find a girl. You know who is single, Lizzie Spaulding. She's cute." Shayne sighs, "Yeah she had a crush on me in high school. But she has a kid with my brother." Bill nods, "Oh yeah. Hey Ashlee Wolfe, she's young but she's cute." Shayne shakes his head, "She's nice but I'm not really looking for a good girl right now." Bill sighs, "Well be careful. I used to like the bad girls before Michelle. Let me tell you, the last girl almost killed me. Literally." Ravenwood: Ava goes and sits in the corner. Edmund is angry, "How dare you? Don't you ever say that to me again! Don't you ever make me feel lower than Jeffrey O'Neill." Ava smirks, "Jeffrey would have got me out of here. Jeffrey was a good father to me. And if it wasn't for Marah digging her nose where it doesn't belong he would still be my father." Edmund shakes his head, "He was never your father." Ava looks at him, "You never wanted me. You let Olivia and Jeffrey believe they slept together and conceived me." Edmund shakes his head, "No. It wasn't like that." Ava jumps up, "I'm sick of this! I've never had a man I can depend on. Sandy only married me out of guilt. Coop just wanted to control me. Bill was using me. Maybe if I had a man who I could really count on I wouldn't be so messed up." Edmund sighs, "Ava please." She screams, "Get out! Leave me alone!!!" Edmund tries to calm her down. A nurse enters, "Mr. Winslow you'll have to leave." They escort Edmund out. Ava sits back in her chair and stares at the wall. Towers: Phillip walks Harley back into the party. Gus approaches her, "Harley I-" She speaks calmly, "Don't talk to me." Susan sighs, "Mom-" She shakes her head, "Just leave me alone please." Susan looks at her, "Mom you shouldn't be driving tonight." Harley turns to Cyrus, "Could you give me a ride home?" Cyrus nods, "Of course." Cyrus takes Harley's hand and walks her to the elevator. Gus and Susan follow. Susan sighs, "When can we talk about this?" Harley looks at them, "I don't know if I'll ever be able to look at you two the same again." The elevator doors close before anyone can say anything. Annie walks over to Alan's table, "Well that was interesting." Alan sighs, "Yet another evening wasted on one of Harley Cooper's cries for attention." Annie nods, "I couldn't agree more. But it's not all ruined. I swayed some votes my way." Phillip walks over, "You two nervous?" Alan laughs, "Of you son? No." Annie looks at both of them, "May the better woman win." The three all look at each other. PREVIEWS: The CEO is finally decided!!! Mallet makes a tough decision Jeffrey's words open Cassie's eyes Ava gets a surprising visitor Bill's surprise upsets Michelle

Secrets cause problems in Springfield... Towers: A huge event is being hosted by Spaulding Enterprises. Liz enters with her cousin Rafe. Liz scoffs, "Look, look at all of them. They all think they're better than us because we're so young." Rafe nods, "They'll all see. We'll have the last laugh." Harley walks in. Gus walks over to her, "I didn't expect to see you here." She sighs, "I guess I was kinda hoping I'd run into you." Gus smiles, "You can call me. You don't have to look for me Babe." She laughs, "I just thought we could catch up on things." He grins, "I would absolutely love that." Cyrus walks over, "Harley! Could I talk with you for a moment?" Harley is uncomfortable. Across the room Dinah is with Olivia, "We have to make good connections for Annie." Olivia sighs, "I can't believe what we did to Mel." Dinah sighs, "Olivia, we did what was best for her. It's best she found out who Alan Michael was now." Olivia shakes her head, "I'm sorry but I have a feeling Annie is leaving us out of the loop." Dinah looks at her, "Olivia, don't feel bad. Alan Michael and Mel will be fine." Cedars: Mel is sitting out in the waiting room. Felicia walks out of her office. Mel stands up, "Mom..." Felicia looks at her, "I shouldn't be the one talking to him. He's my son in law now." Mel sighs, "But Mom I just need you to tell me what you think. I had to drag him down here. Is there something wrong with him?" Felicia sighs, "Okay off the record, I think he may be suffering from a nervous breakdown." Mel cries, "Oh God! I knew this would happen. I never should have let it go this far. That board meeting was horrible. When we got home he kept screaming and throwing things. Now he's either a zombie or a mad man. I don't know what to do." Felicia hugs her, "Honey, you need to get him help. I have another doctor coming to talk to him. He agreed to see someone else." Mel nods, "They told him he can't go back to work until he sees someone. That's the only reason he agrees. There's no way he's going to seriously get help." Felicia sighs, "Well that's something that you need to think about honey. Because it might be the decision you have to make." Mel stares at her mother. Mall: Roxie took her "new friend" Ashlee out shopping. Ashlee looks at dresses, "Wow I have still not gotten used to being able to just go out and pick out whatever clothes I want." Roxie grins, "Oh well you deserve it. You are such a sweet girl." Ashlee turns to her, "I'm so grateful to you. I mean you have become such a good friend to me. But I guess I just don't get why. You used to totally hate my guts." Roxie sighs, "Well I was unfair to you Ashlee. I just saw this annoying woman who was aspiring to be a doctor and hanging around my boyfriend all the time asking him questions. But now I see that you are a fun, interesting young woman that needs to be appreciated." Ashlee sighs, "I never used to believe that about myself." Roxie shakes her head, "Didn't your mother ever tell you how about special you were?" Ashlee sighs, "No. I never felt good enough. I felt like I was the part of her life she was embarrassed about. Always making excuses. Going out to parties and telling people I was home sick. Then when they'd meet me, she always apologized for my appearance. My hair was never right and my makeup never looked good." Roxie sighs, "I'm sorry honey." Ashlee wipes a tear then turns to hug Roxie. Roxie rolls her eyes in her frustration of Ashlee's strong hug. Lewis Enterprises: All of the Lewis Men are working late. Shayne walks in with some files, "Hey how about after this we stop by Towers and get a quick meal?" Bill shakes his head, "No my forgetful cousin. That place is filled with people from Spaulding Enterprises." Josh sighs, "Oh that is tonight isn't it?" Billy laughs, "Well those Spauldings have no idea what's coming to them. Our company is already skyrocketing." Bill smiles, "Well Dad you know it's never been a secret that Lewis hard work will always trump the Spaulding's money." Josh nods, "That's what makes this business worth it. Knowing that we built it and we earned everything. And we did it as a family." Billy smiles, "And one day it's gonna be you two." Shayne laughs, "Well that's a while away. Because you and my Dad still have a lot to do to get us ready. Especially since Bill has been to busy for the office lately." The men laugh. Bill nods, "Well I have a wedding to plan. I'm not used to this. I married Olivia in a jail cell. And I married Ava in Vegas." Billy laughs, "Well this time we'll have time to plan your bachelor party!" The guys all share a laugh. Farmhouse: Michelle is over at Marah's. Marah is designing her wedding dress. Marah smiles, "I'm so excited! I mean not only is my best friend getting married. But you're getting married to my cousin! This is going to be beautiful!" Michelle grins, "Well with you designing my dress I know I'm gonna look beautiful." Marah smiles, "Are you nervous?" Michelle shakes her head, "No. No way. It's Bill. I've known him my whole life. He's been my best friend since I was a kid. I don't get nervous over Bill." Marah laughs, "Geez Michelle, you act like you guys are just friends." Michelle quickly shakes her head, "No, no, no. I just mean that I'm comfortable with him, my family loves him, my kids adore him, it all just makes sense." Marah smiles, "That's good. Love has never made sense for me." Michelle sighs, "It didn't used to for me. Danny and I seemed like total opposites. And there were a million reasons for us not to be together. But there was one reason to be together. Love." Marah grins, "That's like me and Jeffrey. Also how I felt about Tony. Tony was my first love. You never forget your first love." Michelle shakes her head, "Nope." Marah turns to Michelle, "So who was your first love?" Michelle's mind immediately goes to Jesse. Towers: Harley walks over with Cyrus. Harley looks at him, "That was rude." He is confused, "What?" She scoffs, "Don't say 'what'. You saw that I was about to talk with Gus and you got between us." Cyrus shakes his head, "Why should I worry about Gus you two aren't together." Harley looks at him, "And neither are we." Cyrus hates hearing her say that. Across the room Olivia approaches Gus, "Hey." He turns to her, "Hi." She sighs, "I see you were talking with Harley." Gus nods, "Yeah I was just catching up or about too." Olivia looks at him, "Will I ever get an answer from you?" Gus sighs, "I just need more time. I need to think about things." She shakes her head, "You need to think about Harley. I can't be your rebound." Gus shakes his head, "It's not that. I have other things." Olivia looks at him, "Is there someone else? Besides me and Harley?" Just then the elevator doors open and Susan walks in. She's dressed down and obviously not aware that there was an event going on. Gus gets nervous seeing Harley, Olivia and Susan all in the same room. Across the room Alan is talking with some people. Rafe walks over, "Hey Granddad." Alan turns, "Raphael. How are you? I hope I can count on your vote." Rafe scoffs, "I couldn't count on yours for Liz. You clearly doubted me." Alan nods, "Of course you two are just kids. You'll understand when your older." Rafe scoffs, "Oh I'll get it when I'm older? You hear that everyone?" Rafe gets up on the bar. All eyes are now on Rafe. PART TWO: Mall: Roxie sits waiting for Ashlee. She's clearly impatient. Ashlee walks out, "What do you think?" Roxie throws on a fake smile, "Oh my God! Honey you look just beautiful. Stunning." Ashlee grins, "Really?" Roxie nods, "Oh yeah. I love the dress you picked out. I think I have one like this." She nods, "Yeah I love that dress on you. So I wanted to see how this looked on me." Roxie grins, "Well I am flattered. It looks better on you." Ashlee shakes her head, "I wouldn't say better. But I think I look like you a little." Roxie nods, "Oh yeah I see it." Ashlee turns to her, "You are just so great Roxie. I think I'm gonna ask them to hold this dress for me." Roxie shakes her head, "Why not buy it?" Ashlee sighs, "I can't afford it right now." Roxie shakes her head, "Nonsense. It's my gift to you." Ashlee sighs, "I couldn't-" Roxie stops her, "I won't take no for an answer." An excited Ashlee goes to change. Roxie scoffs, "What a disgusting basket case. She wishes she looked like me. Oh Doris. You were a horrible parent. It's sad people like you get children. Ashlee always suffered because of you. So I guess she should be used to what's about to come to her." Roxie has an evil grin on her face. Farmhouse: Michelle is sitting with Marah. Michelle gets up, "My first love? I can't remember I guess." Marah looks at her, "We just said you never forget your first love." Michelle sighs, "Well I didn't really know what true love was before I met Danny." Marah sighs, "I know who it was. I shouldn't have even asked." Michelle looks at her, "You do?" Marah nods, "Bill. You just told me that you've known him since you were kids. It makes sense." Michelle nods, "Oh... yep." Marah smiles, "I think it's perfect. I mean your first love is the man that you are gonna spend the rest of your life with." Michelle nods, "Yeah..." Marah gets up, "I mean think about it. This guy who you first fell in love with is gonna be the last guy you fall in love with. How beautiful is that? It's amazing. Your first love." Michelle shakes her head, "Hey, let's not forget about the dress. Let's see what you got so far." Marah hands Michelle some of her sketches. Michelle tries to focus but her stomach is in knots. Towers: Rafe looks at the party, "Everyone I need to say something. I think everyone here needs to listen-" Gus walks over, "That's enough." Rafe shakes his head, "Dad I got something important to say." Gus drags him down, "Knock it off Rafe. If this is how you're gonna act, all immature, then leave." Rafe scoffs, "I'm immature? How can you of all people say that?" Gus is confused, "What?" Rafe smiles, "I see how it is." Rafe heads for the elevator. Gus doesn't stop him. Cyrus sits at the bar alone now. Susan walks over, "You okay?" Cyrus shakes his head, "Your Mom won't even talk to me." Susan rubs his back, "I'm sorry. I hope she comes around." Cyrus nods, "You seem to be doing well. You look clean." She nods, "I am. Thanks to you." Cyrus grins, "I'm happy. And I think when my brother is released, maybe you would be good for him. You've sure been loyal. You haven't even been with a guy since he went away." Susan feels some guilt now. Across the room Alan sits at a table. Blake sits next to him, "Hello Alan." He grins, "Blake I was hoping you'd show up." She sighs, "Well I think we need to talk. I've been doing my part, voting your way. When am I gonna see some payback. When are you going to help me keep Liz away from Remy?" Alan smiles at Blake. Lewis Enterprises: All the guys are still giving Bill a hard time. Bill looks at them, "Hey lets not focus on me. What about your love lives? Huh? What about that?" Billy laughs, "Well things are going just fine with me and your mother thank you. I've never been happier." Bill looks at Josh, "How about you Uncle Josh? You and Reva back together yet?" Josh laughs, "No. That's not happening." Shayne sighs, "You're not still hanging out with Annie are you?" Josh sighs, "Annie and I are just friends now. Which is very nice. I'm glad to see she's come a long way." Bill then turns to Shayne but pauses. Shayne sighs, "You can ask me." Bill smiles, "So Shayne... any person in your life?" Shayne laughs, "No person. I haven't been with someone since I broke up with Rocky. I'm just taking some time to pull myself together. I still have some mixed feelings on how it all ended." Bill nods, "I know what you mean. Ava's locked up in Ravenwood. To think a year ago she was my wife and we were planning our son's future together. It's hard to believe." Josh looks at them, "Well maybe if you guys would come to church with me more often then you would be able to find other ways to channel your guilt. Plenty of charity work you can do." Bill laughs, "Well once we get this work done then I'll get to that." Shayne really is feeling like he needs to find a way to give back. Cedars: Mel sits down. Felicia sits with her. Mel turns to her mother, "So what your saying is that I might have to force my husband into getting psychological help? I don't know if I'm gonna be able to do that." Felicia sighs, "Don't doubt yourself Melissande. You were able to get your husband down here." Mel nods, "And that was exhausting. How am I supposed to make him do this stuff?" Felicia sighs, "If this doctor can confirm a few things then you will be able to help get Alan Michael help whether he agrees to it or not." Mel shakes her head, "Like he's a crazy person?" Felicia scoffs, "Melissande you know better than to use terms like that. This is serious." She cries, "You don't think I know this is serious? My husband is losing his mind! He's falling a part and there is not a damn thing I can do to stop it! I know this is serious." Felicia hugs her, "I'm sorry Baby. You don't deserve this." Mel shakes her head, "When I left Rick I felt so much stronger. I felt like I could take on the world. Now I feel like my whole world is crashing down on me." Mel cries in her mother's arms. Towers: Alan looks at Blake, "Right now you have nothing to worry about Liz is caught up in the business." Blake nods, "But now that's she's lost she will have more time to get closer to Remy." Alan smiles, "Don't you worry Blake. I have a good plan. Just stick with me and you'll have Remy Boudreau all to yourself." Blake smiles at Alan. Across the room Gus pulls Susan aside, "Why are you hear?" She sighs, "I didn't know this was going on." Gus looks at her, "It's just awkward." Susan sighs, "Gus we ended our thing. What are we supposed to do never see each other again?" Gus shushes her, "Let's go out to the balcony and talk." The two step outside. Rafe walks back into the building just and sees them leave. He smiles, "Perfect." Liz walks over, "I got your text. They set the projector up. But I don't get why? It's to late for presentations." Rafe shakes his head, "Not this one. I call it hypocrisy." He hands her a DVD and she goes to put it in. Rafe stands on the bar, "Everyone! May I have your attention please? I have something you need to hear." Harley walks over, "Rafe you need to get down." Rafe grins, "No. Everyone needs to understand. You see Liz and I have been treated like a joke. Because we're so young and don't get what it is to run a company. Bull! We were honest. We confessed our past. Liz confessed her past with her ex husband. I brought up my time in juvie. But how many of you still have secrets. I got one for you. A video I found at the Bauer Cabin." The projector starts. It shows Gus and Susan during their withdrawal when they were locked in the cabin. They are making out. Rafe grins, "Look at them! Did they share this with you all? Olivia did you know?" Olivia can't believe her eyes. Cyrus turns to Olivia, they didn't have any idea that happened that night. Harley's stares in complete shock and disbelief. The love of her life and her daughter. Just then Susan and Gus walk in unaware of why all eyes are on them. PREVIEWS: Gus and Susan try to explain themselves! Bill and Shayne discuss family and the future Edmund visits Ava Roxie further manipulates Ashlee Alexandra has words for Mel The CEO candidates prepare

Everyone is worried in Springfield... Spaulding Enterprises: The time has come to begin votes. Phillip and Alan Michael begin by voting for themselves. Alan stands up. Alan Michael scoffs, "Just say your favorite son's name and be done with it." Alan shakes his head, "Do you really think you can do this Alan Michael?" Alan Michael nods, "I know I can." Alan sighs, "I vote for my son. Alan Michael Spaulding." Many are surprised. Blake follows Alan's lead, "I vote for Alan Michael Spaulding." Harley and Lucy are very confused. Harley stands, "I am making this decision because I feel like this is the right decision. I vote Phillip Spaulding." Lucy agrees, "My vote also goes to Phillip Spaulding." Lorelei (Beth) stands, "I vote for my dear husband, Phillip Spaulding. I know he's the perfect man for the job." The two kiss. Alan Michael doesn't seem worried, he makes eye contact with Annie. Olivia notices but doesn't think much of it. Liz stands up, "Dad I had hoped you would vote for me. But you didn't trust me. Why should I trust you. I vote for Alan Michael Spaulding." Rafe stands, "I too vote for Alan Michael Spaulding." Gus stands, "I vote for Phillip Spaulding." Alexandra stands up, "I have waited a long time to see this young man as CEO again. And I think he will be a fine CEO. I vote along with my son's proxy for my nephew, Alan Michael as CEO of Spaulding Enterprises." Cyrus votes along with Alexandra's decision. Alan Michael is in the lead. Everyone turns to Mel who is up next. Lewis Enterprises: Vanessa is in her office. Mallet walks in, "Hey Vanessa." She smiles, "Well hello. This is a nice surprise. At least I hope so, Mr. Chief of police." He sighs, "It's not police business. It's family business." Vanessa nods, "Oh how are the kids?" Mallet smiles, "Oh they are fine. Anthony is getting bigger. Belinda is really enjoying living with us. Maureen is getting ready for college. But I'm sure you knew that." Vanessa nods, "Maureen has been doing well since she's been living with you." Mallet nods, "Well she's been great with Anthony. I mean we have really needed someone to be there for him. I'm working and Dinah's...." Vanessa looks at him, "What about Dinah?" Mallet sighs, "Well she's still reporting for WSPR and she's now working with Annie Dutton in her Spaulding takeover." She sighs, "Annie Dutton just brings out the worst in people. I hate that Dinah's friends with her again." Mallet looks at Vanessa, "I rarely see my wife anymore. She leaves early in the morning. Gets home by the time we're in bed. She barely is spending anytime with me or the kids." Vanessa is surprised, "I can't believe that. Dinah fought so hard to build her family." Mallet sighs, "And now she is working to hard to protect us." Vanessa is worried about her daughter. Reva Bend: Roxie walks inside, "I'm home." Reva turns to her, "Hey. How was your trip?" Roxie smiles, "It was fine. Hi." Cassie smiles, "Roxie. It's great to really meet you." Roxie shakes her hand, "Always nice to meet your little sister for real. You look good." Reva hugs them, "She looks like us! Like Mama. Oh Mama would be so happy to see all of her girls together." Roxie looks at them, "Well you two have been crying. Something going on?" Reva sighs, "Yeah. That's why I wanted you here. Roxie I have some news for you." Roxie worries, "Oh God. Is Rusty okay? Pop?" Reva nods, "They are fine. It's me." Roxie is confused, "You?" Reva takes her hand, "Honey, I'm sorry to have to say this but... my cancer is back." Roxie stares in shock, "What?" Reva nods, "My cancer." Roxie turns away. She slowly sits down not saying a word. Reva knew this would be hard on Roxie after everything with Johnny Bauer. Spaulding Enterprises: Mel stands up in front of everyone. Mel clears her throat. Annie smiles at her. Mel begins, "I am new to this whole Spaulding family. I never imagined myself being a part of this. But then I met this man. Alan Michael. The most charming man I'd ever met. He has this passion and a sweet side that he doesn't like to show to everyone. But it's one of my favorite things about him," Mel's voice breaks, "And I'm afraid that if he becomes CEO that he'll change. And I'll lose that part of him." Alan Michael looks at her, "Mel...." Mel sighs, "I'm so sorry. I vote for Phillip Spaulding's name to be kept on the ballot." Alan Michael looks at her, "Mel..." Mel is in tears, "I'm sorry." Alan Michael looks her in the eyes, "Mel take it back. Take it back Mel." Annie looks at Dinah, "Now, hurry." Dinah stands, "I vote for my cousin, Phillip Spaulding." Olivia reluctantly follows, "I... vote for Phillip Spaulding as well." Phillip is very surprised. Annie Dutton grins, "I along with my proxy's vote for Phillip Spaulding. Congratulations." Wallace stands, "And with that Phillip Spaulding wins with the most..." Alan Michael stands, "No, no, no, no!!!" Everyone is worried. Alan Michael looks at Annie, "You lying, back stabbing, bitch!" Annie smiles. Bauer Home: Michelle is home from the hospital. She walks in. Bill and Jesse are sitting at the table. Michelle is a little worried, "Hey you guys. What's going on?" Bill looks at her, "Hey Baby. We're just talking about the club and everything." Michelle worries, "What? Why?" Bill laughs, "Chill. I was just thinking that since we were busy that we'd hire Jesse as the manager." Michelle looks at him, "Jesse?" Jesse nods, "I'm up for the job but I told Bill we had to wait and see how you felt." Bill looks at her, "So what do you think?" Michelle sighs, "Uh... Well I just thought you weren't sticking around for that long." Jesse nods, "Unless someone gives me a reason to stay." Michelle is confused, "What reason?" Jesse laughs, "The job remember?" Michelle nods, "Yeah. Sorry I just had a long day at work." Bill walks to her, "You okay?" She nods, "Oh yeah. I'm fine." Bill sighs, "So are you okay with me hiring Jesse?" Michelle nods, "Of course. He's our friend." Bill kisses her, "Great. Hey I gotta go pick up Emma and Leah from the Mall, I'll be back soon okay?" Bill grabs his keys and leaves. Michelle is alone with Jesse again. He smiles at her. Company: The place is empty. Coop runs inside, "Stephanie?!?!!" Coop looks around. The place is apparently closed. Coop tries to call her. He tries but her phone must be turned off. He throws his phone in frustration. He turns around and sees her necklace hanging off the key hook. He grabs it, "Oh God. I just missed her." Coop goes to the door. Buzz walks up to him, "Coop." Coop looks at him, "Dad! Dad where is Stephanie and Rocky?" Buzz sighs, "I just took them to the bus station." Coop shakes his head, "No! No, you left already? Take me there I have to go see her." Buzz sighs, "I'm sorry. But I watched the bus drive off. They are on their way to Chicago." Coop shakes his head, "No! Why? Why didn't you wait?" Buzz nods, "We did. Stephanie watched the clock. We waited. But you never showed. I tried to get her to keep waiting but she couldn't do it. I'm sorry son." Coop is in tears, "I blew it! I really blew it! It wasn't supposed to be like this. I didn't get to say goodbye." Buzz hugs his son. PART TWO: Reva Bend: Reva sits with Roxie. Cassie hands her water, "You okay?" Roxie shakes her head, "Yeah I'm sorry. Don't ask me. Reva are you okay honey? You..." Reva hugs her, "I'm gonna be okay sweetheart. I'm gonna fight this sister. I promise. I'm Reva Shayne." Roxie wipes a tear, "It's just... memories of Johnny and everything. But I'm stronger now." Reva smiles, "You're a Shayne woman." Cassie sits, "But we all have each other now so if any of us feel like we can't go on, we can lean on each other." Reva hugs her, "I love you Sis. I'm so lucky to have two sisters. And both of my sisters are here with me now." Roxie looks at her, "Reva... you don't seem scared at all." Reva shakes her head, "I don't have time to be scared. I have four children, two grandchildren, Pop, you two, Rusty. I have way to much to live for and no time to sit feeling sorry for myself." Cassie smiles, "That's the Reva I know!" Reva stands up, "I'm going to get some movies to watch." Cassie jumps up, "Oh you have to get our favorite!" Reva laughs, "Oh! We haven't watched movies together in so long!" The two go to the shelf. Roxie feels a little left out but doesn't let it show. Lewis Enterprises: Vanessa and Mallet are discussing Dinah. Vanessa looks at him, "So Dinah is completly burying herself in her work now? Complelty?" Mallet nods, "Yes. I never thought this would happen but it is." Vanessa sighs, "Did you talk to her about it?" Mallet sighs, "I tried Vanessa! Don't you think I tried? Everytime I bring it up she tells me she doesn't have time to talk about it. She never has time for our marriage or our children." Vanessa looks at him, "I understand Mallet, I do. But she is doing everything she is doing..." Mallet nods, "For us. I know that. Dinah tells me that she will never let anything hurt me or our children. She wants what's best for all of us but... she goes about it the wrong way." She sighs, "Mallet I have a feeling your leaving something out." Mallet turns to her, "Dinah pulled strings to get me promoted as police chief. It was supposed to go to David or Harley." Vanessa takes off her glasses, "Wow. I mean, I'm not surprised that sounds like Dinah. But just the sound of it... it's obvious that you would never support that." Mallet scoffs, "Of course not. It's wrong. And I can't let Dinah keep doing this to everyone." Vanessa looks at him, "What are you going to do?" Mallet sighs, "I don't know yet. But I'm sorry Vanessa I don't think you're gonna like it." Mallet leaves. Spaulding Enterprises: Alan Michael is furious. Mel stands up, "I'm sorry honey I..." He backs away from her, "Don't touch me! You!" He points at Annie. She stares at him. He shouts, "I trusted you! I had a deal with you! And this is what you do?" Mel looks at Annie in confusion. Olivia and Dinah are confused as well. Annie shakes her head, "I have no idea what your talking about. Alan Michael I never made any 'deal' with you." Alan Michael screams, "You shut up you liar!" Phillip tries to walk over, "Alan Michael that's enough." Alan Michael looks at him, "No people are stabbing me in the back! My family, my friends, and the one person I trusted the most." Mel cries, "Alan Michael please just listen..." Alan Michael gets in Annie's face, "Tell them the truth!" Annie shakes her head, "You are insane." Alan Michael shouts, "You made a deal! Don't play that game with me! You said you'd vote for me and we'd get Phillip out of the race. Tell them that you made a deal!" Annie sighs, "Get him away from me!" Alan Michael pounds his fist on the desk, "No! You made a deal and you changed your mind!" The whole room is shocked by Alan Michael. Bauer Home: Michelle is going through the fridge. Jesse walks over, "So is it to early to ask for a raise?" She turns to him, "What is that supposed to mean?" He laughs, "I was just joking Michelle." She shakes her head, "Well I think we need to quit the joking. We need to be professional. Can you do that?" He nods, "Of course I can?" She shakes her head, "You can be professional with me? I'm sorry but I just don't see that." Jesse laughs, "Don't flatter yourself." Michelle scoffs, "After what happened the other day?" He looks at her, "What happened?" She sighs, "You know." He shakes his head, "Nothing happened at all." She sighs, "It doesn't matter. I have to many things to worry about with the wedding to get involved in... other things." Jesse looks at her, "Other things? Things from the past?" She looks him in the eyes, "Things that aren't as important to me as Bill and I." Michelle walks past him to the table. Jesse can't keep his eyes off of her. Company: Coop sits on the steps outside. He's holding the necklace in his hand. Buzz walks out with two beers. Coop sighs, "I blew it. Just like I always do." Buzz shakes his head, "You really think so?" Coop nods, "I couldn't trust Lizzie, I tried to control Ava, I couldn't accept changes in Ashlee, now I'm repeating it all with Stephanie. I never learn from my mistakes." Buzz sits by him, "You will. But that doesn't make you feel better believe me." Coop sighs, "Well what am I supposed to do?" Buzz looks at him, "Maybe Stephanie was right. Maybe you and her need to take a break. To see if your love is strong." Coop is confused, "What should I do?" Buzz sighs, "I don't know son. Take a vacation. Take a road trip. Let her do her thing while you do yours." Coop shakes his head, "I can't run away from my problems Dad." Buzz laughs, "No you can't. Believe me I know that never works out quite right. But you can take a trip. Just clear your head. Sometimes a break from Springfield makes you appreciate it more." Coop sighs, "There is this convention for aspiring writers. It's in some library out of state though." Buzz nods, "Well you should go. Come on, Stephanie isn't in Springfield. You have time before school starts. Go." Coop hugs his father. Spaulding Enterprises: Everyone is watching Alan Michael's breakdown. Security walks in, "Mr. Spaulding settle down." Alan Michael shouts, "No! This CEO is a liar! A monster!" Alan walks over, "Son calm down." Alan Michael turns to him, "You're in on this aren't you? Your vote that whole things was just a bluff. You knew I wasn't gonna win. You knew your favorite golden boy Phillip was gonna win." Phillip sighs, "Alan Michael, please try to relax." Alan Michael points his finger at Phillip, "Don't you dare talk to me. Don't you dare." Mel tries to hugs Alan Michael, "Baby let's go talk." He pulls away, "Get your hands off of me." He wipes his suit where her hands touched him. Mel is in tears, "I love you. I just knew this would happen. I shouldn't have let it go this far." Alan Michael is in tears, "You never believed in me! You never believed I was good enough." Gus walks over, "Come on brother. Let's go outside." Alan Michael shoves Gus into the wall, "Get off of me!" Security grabs him, "Come on! Come on!" They drag him out. Alan Michael shouts, "I'll get you for this Annie! I'll get you I swear to God you'll pay!" Mel is sobbing. Olivia walks over to her, "Mel I'm-" Mel pulls away and runs after her husband. Liz and Alexandra are both crying. Wallace stands, "I'm sorry for that everyone. We will reschedule our next meeting. Where we will we finally choose our next CEO between Annie Dutton, Alan Spaulding, and Phillip Spaulding." PREVIEWS: Alan plots with Blake Rafe has a shocking revelation!

Shocking decisions are made in Springfield... Spaulding Enterprises: Phillip and Lorelei (Beth) walk in. She turns to him, "Today is going to be a good day for you." Phillip sighs, "Can I count on your vote?" She laughs, "Are you still mad about me voting for Alan?" He sighs, "I'm confused." Alan walks in, "Well son, I hope you aren't a little jealous of me." Phillip turns to him, "Never have been and never will be. Have you decided who your voting for?" Alan grins, "I guess we'll just wait and see." Alexandra walks in, "Well I for one am not looking forward to this. Phillip and his brother going against each other." Alan Michael and Mel enter the room. Alan Michael grins, "Today is the day we've waited years for. Everyone has to choose between Phillip and Alan Michael. The Golden Boy and The Prodigal Son. Who will it be? Well don't worry I've got some votes on my side that you'll be surprised to see." Annie, Dinah, and Olivia walk in. Mel walks over to them, "Hey you guys." Annie smiles, "Hey Mel. Are you okay? You look bothered." Mel shakes her head, "I'm fine. My stomachs a little upset but I'm fine." Dinah sighs, "Mel can we talk for a minute? Just us 4?" Mel nods, "Okay." They walk Mel into the hall. Beacon: Susan is walking down the hallway. She goes to her door and opens it. Marina is sitting on the floor in front of the coffee table. She jumps. Susan looks at her, "Are you okay?" Marina cleans up the table, "I'm fine. I'm just plain fine." Susan walks towards her, "Is something going on? Because your acting like a kid who got into the candy dish." Marina stands up, "I'm fine." Marina's clearly nervous about something. Susan sighs, "I know we haven't been getting a long but I'm sorry. I thought we could go out." Marina shakes her head, "I feel like staying in. But you can go out. I'm not going to stand in your way." Susan looks at her, "Marina what is going on?" Marina puts her hand on her face, "Nothing I'm just tired." Susan stares, "Why?" Marina wipes her nose, "I think I have a cold." Susan watches and Marina keeps rubbing her nose. Susan grabs the purse from Marina's hand. She looks into it, "Oh my God. That's why you were cleaning up. You were doing lines in my room?" Marina stares at her cousin. Reva Bend: Cassie knocks on Reva's door. Reva opens it, "Sis! I'm so glad you could make it." Cassie smiles, "Of course. I'm so happy to spend more time with you. We have a lot of catching up to do." Reva nods, "Yes we do. Come on in." Cassie walks in, "I'm sure by now you know that Marah is living in the farmhouse." Reva sighs, "Yeah she said Lizzie sold it to her." Cassie pauses, "Uh... yeah that's what I heard too." Reva looks at her, "It must be difficult for you." Cassie shakes her head, "No. That house belongs to RJ. As long as he is there then I'm happy." Reva takes her hand, "We need to talk sweetheart." Cassie looks at her, "Is something wrong Reva." Reva nods, "Yes it is." Cassie sighs, "Oh God. I just... just tell me." Reva leads her to the couch, "Let's sit." Cassie is worried, "Reva you are really scaring me, please just come out and say it." Reva sighs, "Cassie, my cancer has come back." Cassie stares at Reva in shock. Spaulding Enterprises: Mel is with Annie, Dinah, and Olivia in the hall. Mel is nervous, "I just don't know what to do. This whole Spaulding thing has really changed Alan Michael." Dinah hugs her, "I'm sorry honey. I'm sorry." Olivia sighs, "I'm not trying to upset you, but you know if he wins then it's just gonna get worse." Mel sighs, "I can't stop him from winning." Annie looks at her, "You can. Phillip will lead in the votes, he just needs a nudge from you to get in the lead." Mel turns to her, "You want me to help Phillip beat Alan Michael? I can't do that." Annie sighs, "We'll do the same." Mel shakes her head, "He'll be so angry if I go behind his back." Annie sighs, "I'll never tell him that we discussed this. Listen, we women have control of everything. That's the only way we are gonna keep the Spauldings in check." Mel turns to her, "Promise you won't tell Alan Michael that I was working with you." Annie sighs, "I promise." Mel nods, "I need to think about this." Mel walks back into the room. The three ladies follow. Company: Buzz is making food for Stephanie and Rocky. Rocky smiles, "Thanks for all of this Dad." Buzz grins, "Well of course. You two are future cops, I need to keep you on my good side." Stephanie smiles, "I'm glad someone is happy." Buzz sighs, "Coop will come around." Stephanie shakes her head, "I really don't know. He doesn't want me doing this but I have to follow my heart." Rocky nods, "I know what you mean. Shayne tried to keep me from becoming a cop and that is one of the reasons why we couldn't stay together." Stephanie sighs, "But you said you guys are done for good." Rocky nods, "Well yeah but it's more complicated than what you and Coop are going through." Stephanie sighs, "All I want is to follow my passion and this is it. I just wish Coop could see that." Buzz looks at her, "Coop is very deep, and very loving. He will see it. I promise you." Buzz goes back in the kitchen. Stephanie hopes he's right. Outskirts: Coop walks into the bar. Shayne waves at him, "Hey man." Coop walks over, "Hey Shayne, how have you been man?" Shayne grins, "I'm okay. It's good to see you." Coop nods, "You too." Shayne turns to him, "How's Marina?" Coop sighs, "I wish I could say she was doing better but it doesn't seem like it." Shayne sighs, "And Rocky?" Coop turns to him, "He is heading to the police academy today. Along with my girlfriend or ex." Shayne turns to him, "Stephanie? She's going?" Coop nods, "Yep. She thinks it's her dream. And I asked her if she would choose it over me and she did." Shayne looks at him, "That sounds familiar. I did that with your brother, and now look at me. I'm in a bar all alone." Coop sighs, "Didn't it make you angry? That he could just go do something like that even if you begged him not to?" Shayne nods, "Oh yeah. But he gave it up for me. And he ended up resenting me. And it was one of the reasons we aren't together." Coop sighs, "Do you think you two will ever patch things up?" Shayne shakes his head, "No. Rocky has changed, so have I. We could have changed together and grown but I wouldn't allow him to be free and now we've grown a part." Coop begins to think about things. PART TWO: Spaulding Enterprises: Eventually everyone is seated. Wallace enters, "Today we will be narrowing down our 3rd candidate for the position of CEO. It will be a vote between Phillip Granville Spaulding and Alan Michael Spaulding." Phillip stands up, "Hello everyone. I know that I don't have the best track record these past few years. I did some pretty bad things, and I wasn't in the right state of mind. But I have changed, I've grown past all of that and I am now ready to help get this company back to the success it used to be and I hope I am given that chance." Alan Michael scoffs, "A chance to run off with the children again? A chance to have another nervous breakdown?" Phillip nods, "Thank you for being sympathetic. Yes I wasn't able to handle it at one point in my life. And I regret many of my actions. But I would never try to take this on again unless I was 100% sure that I could do it successfully. And with Beth by my side, I can take on the whole world. I promise." Harley raises her hand, "May I speak? I just want to say that as the mother of one of Phillip's children, I do think he has changed since then. Phillip has proven to me that he can be a good person again. This is the Phillip I used to know. The Phillip I loved once. To prove my trust I am lifting the restraining order against him for Zach." Harley sits down. Phillip smiles at her, "Thank you Harley." Olivia scoffs, "Not everyone can forget who you are Phillip." Annie turns to her, "Olivia..." Olivia sighs, "I'm sorry but I'm not like Harley. You can bet that I'm keeping my restraining order against you." Annie is getting Olivia to calm down. Phillip sits. The room is still very tense. Reva Bend: Cassie and Reva sit in her living room. Cassie is in tears, "Oh Reva I am so sorry. I can't believe this is happening again." Reva nods, "I know sweetheart. But you have nothing to be sorry about." Cassie sighs, "Oh God! You saw me and Josh talking at the barbecue! That must have been so hard." Reva shakes her head, "I'm past all of that Cassie. I have forgiven you both now." Cassie looks at her, "I'm going to help you through this. The way I should have last time." Reva nods, "Well I'm doing good so far. I start chemo soon." Cassie nods, "Well if you have to shave your head then let me know, I'll come over and I'll shave your head and you'll shave mine." Reva laughs, "Cassie..." Cassie nods, "I will. I swear. Me, Harley and Blake made a deal like that a long time ago. Of course I'd do it for you." Reva smiles, "We're gonna be two hot bald chicks!" The two sisters laugh. Cassie smiles, "I love you Reva." Reva grins, "I am so happy to have my little sister back." The two hug. Beacon: Marina backs away from Susan. Susan is furious, "I can't believe you would bring this here. You are so ignorant." Marina scoffs, "Wow you have become incredibly lame." Susan shakes her head, "Oh no. Oh wait your right. I'm such a loser. But you your so cool." Marina shakes her head, "I'm not doing it to be cool. It helps me take my mind off things." Susan grabs her, "How many times do I have to tell you? Drugs, and partying aren't going to help you get past this. No matter what Danny is still dead and your baby is still dead." Marina shoves her, "Shut up! You shut the hell up!" Susan takes the bag, "I'm getting rid of this." Marina tries to stop her, "No!" Susan takes it and throws it down the toilet. Marina is grabbing her trying to stop her. Susan shoves her, "Get off of me." Marina smacks Susan across the face, "You stupid bitch!" Susan shakes her head, "You need to get out of my face right now Marina. Or I'm gonna do something that I will regret." Marina grabs he purse, "I am out of here." Marina slams the door when she leaves. Susan punches the wall with frustration. Outskirts: Shayne and Coop are playing pool. Shayne looks at him, "So... do you love Stephanie?" Coop nods, "Yeah. Yeah I do." Shayne sighs, "Have you ever been in love before?" Coop nods, "Sure. I mean my first love was Lizzie Spaulding." Shayne has a little laugh, "Sorry." Coop shakes his head, "But she was to complicated. Then Ava and I were in love but things got complicated with her too eventually. I really thought Ashlee was the one but we grew a part." Shayne nods, "Yep. Marina was my first love. Sometimes I think if I hadn't left town we would be married now. But then Rocky, I thought he was the one. But it turns out I was nothing but a stepping stone for him to get to the real.... I'm sorry. He's your brother." Coop nods, "Yeah. Touchy subject. But pool helps take our minds off it." Shayne nods, "Oh yeah. Plus I've been volunteering at church and stuff. It's really nice." Coop sighs, "Yeah I'll have to look into that." Shayne is waiting for Coop to go. Shayne sighs, "Dude! What are you waiting for?" Coop looks at the table, "Oh yeah sorry." Shayne takes the stick away, "I mean why are you still here? Go find her before it's too late." Coop nods, "Your right. Thanks Shayne!" Shayne smiles, "Go!" Coop runs out of the place. Company: Stephanie sits with Rocky and Buzz. She keeps looking at the clock. Rocky notices it too, "Wow we should probably get going before we miss our bus." Buzz notices Stephanie's upset. He looks at Rocky, "Will you go start the car and I'll meet you out there? I'm gonna close up." Rocky takes the keys, "Sure thing Dad." Buzz looks at her, "I'm sorry." She wipes a tear, "I got my hopes up. He told me he couldn't support this. But a small part of me was hoping he'd run in here and kiss me goodbye and let me know everything was gonna be okay." Buzz sighs, "Well he is my son so that wouldn't be to suprirsing. I thought he would too." Stephanie sighs, "Rocky is waiting." Buzz looks at her, "You sure you don't wanna wait?" Stephanie shakes her head, "No. I need to rip the Band-Aid off quick. Coop isn't going to accept me becoming a cop. So I need to let him go and try and move on." Buzz pats her on the back, "I'm sorry." Rocky honks the horn. Buzz and Stephanie head out. Stephanie is wearing a necklace Coop bought her. She takes it off and hangs it on the key hook behind the counter. They head to the bus station. Spaulding Enterprises: It's now time for Alan Michael's speech. Alan Michael stands up, "Hello everyone. I was CEO several years ago. I ran the company with great success. Spaulding was on it's way up again. But due to personal issues going on at the time I had to step down as CEO and leave Springfield." Alan sighs, "And how do we know you won't do it again son?" Alan Michael is furious as Alan knows it wasn't his son's choice to leave back then. Alan Michael continues, "I have grown a lot. I am more than ready to take back my job as CEO. I have a family now with Mel and Leah. I've never been this happy in my whole life. And I promise to all of you parents that I won't forget my nieces and nephews. Zach, James, Emma, Sarah, Penelope, Angela, will all be taken care of." Phillip sighs, "Well let's see. If I can't be forgiven, can you? Let's ask your ex wives. Harley, Blake, Lucy. What do you all think?" Lucy sighs, "Alan Michael... I don't know who you are anymore. But then again I've changed too. I want to believe that your a good person but as we all know you have your mother's Bauer heart but your father's Spaulding blood. It's a dangerous combination." Alan Michael sighs, "I'm sorry you feel that way Lucy. But our marriage has nothing to do with me as a CEO. I am more than capable of taking this company back and doing well with it. So please vote me as CEO." Alan Michael sits. Wallace stand, "Now the voting will begin." PREVIEWS: Things turn ugly at the meeting!!! Roxie visits her sisters Michelle comes home to find Jesse with Bill Coop tries to find Stephanie Mallet has news for Vanessa

Apoligies and Admissions in Springfield... Spaulding Enterprises: Alexandra is getting ready to make her speech. Alexandra looks at the crowd of people, "Well everyone. I know you probably think that the old girl is done and ready to retire. But I'm here to tell you that I still have fight in me. I have been a part of Spaulding Enterprises for decades." Rafe mutters to Liz, "Or centuries." Alex continues, "And in that time I have seen it through ups and downs. I have seen it become the amazing powerhouse that we are all here to protect. Because at one point or another everyone in this room was given stock from this company whether by birth, marriage, or employment, or all of the above. But we also have to make sure that future generations of Spauldings will still have a business to run." Alan raises is hand, "Alexandra do you really think you are capable of running a company in you condition?" She scoffs, "What condition Alan?" He sighs, "You've seemed quite ill lately, I'm just concerned about my dear sick sister." She shakes her head, "Knock it off Alan. Everyone here can see that I'm more than fine. And that is why I hope that you will elect me Alexandra Spaulding, CEO of Spaulding Enterprises." Alex sits down. Mr. Wallace rises, "Finally we will here from Mr. Alan Spaulding." Cedars: Noah is with Reva. She looks at him, "You gave up our relationship so that I could be happy with Josh. That was noble of you. But Josh and I were doomed from the start. Our relationships never last." He nods, "Pushing you away for your own good was the hardest thing I've ever had to do." She sighs, "Believe it or not I understand." He is confused, "How?" She continues, "The last time I had cancer I was married to Josh. I chose not to tell him because I wasn't going to drag him into it all. And when I was away he fell in love... with Cassie." Noah is surprised, "Josh and Cassie?" Reva nods, "After I came back I didn't tell them for a while. I divorced Josh and let him be happy with Cassie." Noah is confused, "I can't even imagine you doing that. Giving up the man you love?" She sighs, "Maybe a part of me knew that Josh and I were never going to work. Josh and Cassie didn't either. Josh and I tried again last year but once again we broke up. For good this time." Noah shakes his head, "I don't think so." She takes his hand, "It's over Noah." Noah looks into Reva's eyes. Old Museum: Stephanie is upset by Coop. She scoffs, "Are you telling me that you are going to leave me if I pursue a career as a cop?" He sighs, "I need to know where I stand. What comes first, this cop thing or me?" She gets up, "I don't understand how you could even ask me that Coop." Coop sighs, "I'm worried about what could happen to you." She turns to him, "You are trying to control me. We just got out of all the drama with Vi. Why do we need this?" He shakes his head, "We don't. That's why I don't understand where your going with this whole cop business." Stephanie looks at him, "It's my passion." Coop sighs, "I'm sorry but I can't do that. I can't wait at home every night wondering if your going to come home or not. I did that with Frank, Harley, Marina, and I'm going to have to do it with Rocky. They are my family and I can't change that." She sighs, "But you can change me being your girlfriend." He looks at her, "I'm sorry I didn't..." She nods, "Maybe your right. Maybe we should take some time a part for now. It might be best for us." Coop is very upset now. Spaulding Enterprises: Alan stands before the board. Alan speaks, "Now I know that when you look at me you see the big bad evil Alan Spaulding that has been dragged around by rumors. But I'm here to tell you that I'm Alan Spaulding the man who made Spaulding Enterprises a success and the man who isn't finished." Liz scoffs, "Yeah you're a great guy Granddad." He turns to her, "Elizabeth I hope you won't let your bias get in the way of this." She scoffs, "Bias? Let's do a poll. Anyone in here who's life at one point was ruined by Alan Spaulding, raise your hand." Slowly all but a couple hands go up. Alan nods, "Well as you all know I have a past of hurting the people I love. But I'm still a damn good business man. Now listen we are at a crucial point in our economy. This is not the time to experiment with new people or try and revive others. We need to continue with what makes Spaulding run to the top. And that is and always will be myself. Now one day my son Phillip will have his turn to take the seat." Alan Michael is angry, "Of course." Alan nods, "Then one day, Elizabeth will take over. And hopefully Sarah will return to take over after that. You see I have a plan for the future. Even after I'm gone. So I hope you vote for me Alan Spaulding as CEO of Spaulding Enterprises." Alan sits. Mr. Wallace rises, "We will now begin the votes." Farmhouse: Jeffrey and Marah walk in with RJ. Marah smiles, "Wow this place sure looks a lot different now." RJ walks inside, "Lizzie changed almost all of it." Jeffrey sighs, "Well your Mom says that this is closer to the original style that your father Hart had." RJ nods, "Yeah." Marah sighs, "RJ why don't you go check out your room?" RJ goes upstairs. Marah turns to Jeffrey, "Why did you do that?" Jeffrey looks at her, "What?" She sighs, "Bring up Cassie. RJ clearly doesn't want to talk about her anymore." Jeffrey sighs, "Cassie is still RJ's mother. She gave us this house to bring him home too." Marah shakes her head, "And we are telling him that we got it straight from Lizzie herself." Jeffrey sighs, "RJ needs to know that his mother still loves him." Marah looks down, "Well you know what Jeffrey, I'm not so sure that she does love him." Marah walks away. Park: Michelle is walking home. She is still thinking about her close moment with Jesse. Cassie is sitting on the bench. Michelle walks by her, "Cassie..." Cassie looks up, "Oh Michelle... Hey, I haven't seen you in a long time it feels like." She nods, "We were avoiding each other I think." Cassie looks at her, "I hope you know that the things I did-" Michelle sighs, "I know Cassie. And you seem to be back to your old self again and I'm happy." Cassie smiles, "Thank you. How are your kids?" Michelle smiles, "They're great. It's been a tough year but they are doing great now." Cassie sighs, "I'm so sorry about Danny. He was one of my best guy friends I ever had. I just wish I had just been a better friend to him before he passed away." Michelle nods, "Me too. But Danny would forgive you." Cassie nods, "I hope so." Michelle grabs her purse, "I have some pictures of Hope." Cassie smiles at her. Michelle sits next to her. PART TWO: Cedars: Noah sits back down next to Reva. Noah looks at her, "Why are you telling me all of this?" She sighs, "We had absolutely no closure Noah. You just said goodbye and left, that was it." Noah sighs, "I felt that you'd get over it eventually." Reva nods, "And honestly I thought I did. Until I saw your face again. Then it all came back." Noah is confused, "What came back?" She looks at him, "I don't know...." They look into each other's eyes. Noah turns away, "Reva we can't go there. I'm your doctor now. You are sick. We need to be professional." Reva nods, "I know I'm sorry." He takes her hand, "I'm not going to let anything get in the way of you making a full recovery." Reva sighs, "Thank you. You're right. I need to focus on getting myself better. I have a family to think about." Noah nods, "I'm glad to hear that." Reva worries about her feelings for Noah returning. Park: Cassie sits with Michelle. Cassie is looking at pictures of Hope, "Oh my God. Michelle she is just beautiful." Michelle smiles, "Isn't she? I'm so blessed." Cassie sighs, "I mean it's crazy. When she was a baby I thought she looked just like me. But now she looks exactly like her mother. She looks so much like you Michelle." Michelle looks at her, "If you ever wanted to come over to the house and see her you can." Cassie sighs, "Thank you. But maybe I'll wait. I mean I know it's been years and years but it's still difficult. But I will soon. I'd love to see how Hope grew up." Michelle grins, "I'd love for you to see what a lovely girl she is." Cassie looks at Michelle, "I know you couldn't press charges against Edmund because of me blackmailing Danny. But I'm better now and Danny's gone. Have you thought about bringing it back up?" Michelle nods, "Yeah I thought about it. But Hope doesn't know about what Edmund did to us. Taking her away and giving her to you. I just think that I couldn't handle to deal with all of that without Danny." Cassie sighs, "I would help you if you needed it. To finally make Edmund pay for what he did to us." Michelle shakes her head, "Thank you. But I'm not looking for revenge. I'm ready to move on. I need to look to the future." Cassie really takes what Michelle said to heart. Spaulding Enterprises: Annie looks at Olivia and Dinah, "We have to be smart. Remember the plan no matter what happens. Just trust me." Mr. Wallace stands, "Voting will begin now. This will determine who will go on between Alan Spaulding, Alexandra Spaulding, and Elizabeth Spaulding. We will start with those three." Alex stands, "I with my vote and Nick Spauldings proxy vote, Alexandra Spaulding CEO of Spaulding Enterprises." Alan and Liz vote for themselves as well. Rafe stands, "I Raphael Rivera Spaulding votes for Elizabeth Spaulding." Phillip stands, "I'm sorry honey. My vote and proxy of Melinda Sue Lewis goes to Alexandra Spaulding." Liz isn't happy. Alan Michael turns to Mel, "Follow my lead. I vote for Elizabeth Spaulding." Mel rises, "I too vote for Elizabeth Spaulding." Alan worries about his lack of votes. Gus rises, "I vote for Elizabeth Spaulding." Cyrus stands, "I vote for Alexandra Spaulding." Harley and Lucy both vote for Alexandra. Blake is next, she makes eye contact with Alan and remembers their deal. She rises, "I vote Alan Spaulding." Everyone is surprised. Lorelei rises, "I Beth Raines Spaulding vote for Alan Spaulding." Phillip is stunned. Dinah turns to Annie and Olivia and then rises, "I Dinah Marler Mallet vote for Alan Spaulding." Olivia rises, "I Olivia Spencer vote for Alan Spaulding." Annie rises, "I Annie Dutton with my vote and the proxy's of Doris Wolfe, Amanda Spaulding, and Natalia Spaulding, vote for Alan Spaulding." Mr. Wallace stands, "Alan is now ahead by a vote. Alan Spaulding will continue in the race while Alexandra and Elizabeth Spaulding will be dropped from the ballot." The room is in shock of what just happened. Farmhouse: Marah is looking around the kitchen. Jeffrey approaches her, "What's wrong with you?" She sighs, "Jeffrey I'm trying to do what's best for RJ. Why don't you understand that?" Jeffrey sighs, "You really think it's best for him to keep him away from his mother?" Marah nods, "When his mother is a complete psycho bitch? Oh hell yeah. Why are you so upset? RJ doesn't want anything to do with her anymore either. Why are you pushing this?" Jeffrey looks at her, "Marah you didn't talk to your Mom for a long time because of her relationship with me. Now you two are close again. It took almost losing her to realize how much you loved her. Do you want RJ to find out that way?" Marah sighs, "I understand what you are saying. But I have to go with my gut feeling." Jeffrey sighs, "What about my gut?" She shakes her head, "I don't think it's your gut that's telling you to trust Cassie." He scoffs, "What does that mean?" She sighs, "Maybe you still have feelings for her." Marah walks away from him. Old Museum: Coop walks to Stephanie. He looks at her, "I'm so sorry. I wasn't serious. I didn't want to break up with you." She sighs, "You aren't ready to date someone who is going to be on the force. I'm not ready to be with someone who isn't going to be okay with that. It's for the best." Coop shakes his head, "No please. I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said before, I really didn't." She nods, "Yes you did. Don't lie. Coop you hate the idea of me becoming a cop we can't ignore that." Coop sighs, "But you can't leave me because of that." Stephanie shakes her head, "I'm not leaving you. I'm just saying that I will be at the police academy soon. So we'll take that time to be a part and see what happens." Coop sighs, "What does that mean?" Stephanie looks at her watch, "I have to go have dinner at my parents. Just think about what I said." Stephanie kisses Coop before she leaves. Coop is so confused. Spaulding Enterprises: The room grows with anger. Alex sighs, "Well isn't it great. Alan can control the weak still. Isn't that right Beth?" She scoffs, "Don't be bitter Alex." Phillip turns to her, "We said we'd either vote for Alex or Lizzie. Not at all Alan." Annie looks at her friends, "Keep your friends close and enemies closer. This will benefit us greatly." Liz shakes her head, "I don't know who to believe anymore. Who do you even trust?" Rafe looks at Annie and her group, "All of you ignorant bitches are going pay! Your lives will be hell. I promise" Annie shakes her head, "Please don't take this personally." Liz looks at them, "You manipulated me Annie. You lied to me. I trusted you." Alan smiles, "Well let this be a lesson to all of you. I won't forget those of you who didn't vote for me this time. Don't make that mistake a second time." Mr. Wallace stands, "Silence. Now next time we meet we will be doing this again. Only this time it will be between Phillip Spaulding and Alan Michael Spaulding." Alan Michael stares at his brother. Mel worries about what is come.

The Spaulding Board Meeting Begins in Springfield... Spaulding Enterprises: Annie, Olivia, and Dinah are sitting at the table. Annie grins, "Get ready ladies. Today is the day we have been waiting for and it will be a sweet victory for sure." Alan walks in, "Well if it isn't Annie Dutton and her little henchman. Don't you girls look pretty." Olivia grins, "Hello Alan. Don't get your hopes up for today." Alan sighs, "Well I was hoping for another one of your drunken scenes Olivia but I hear you quit drinking." Alan goes to his seat. Alexandra follows, "Alan don't get all grumpy. It's not going to look well on the board." She sits in her seat. Harley, Blake, and Lucy walk in. Harley turns to them, "I really have no idea who I'm voting for." Lucy shakes her head, "Neither do I." Alan is making eye contact with Blake. The ladies take their seats. Liz and Rafe enter. Liz smiles, "Hello everyone. I hope your ready for the next generation to take over." The two sit down. Next is Mel and Alan Michael. Alan Michael looks at her, "We're going to get everything we want today Mel. The best day of our lives." He goes to his seat. She mumbles to herself, "Thought that was our wedding day." Cyrus walks in and waves at Harley. Right behind him is Gus. Harley sinks in her seat. Phillip and Lorelei (Beth) are the last one's to arrive. Cedars: Reva is with Lillian. Lillian hugs her, "I'm so sorry that this is happening to you all over again Reva." Reva sighs, "Thank you. But I think I'm going to have an easier time now. I've done this before." Lillian nods, "Yes. You should be confident. We are all here for you." Reva sighs, "So is all of your family at the meeting?" Lillian nods, "Yes! I'm glad I'm not a voter. My son in law, my granddaughter, and Alex is my best friend. I am afraid of what this will do to them." Reva nods, "Well I hope everything works out." Lillian nods, "Same for you." Reva goes down to her room. She walks in. Noah is going over papers, "Take a seat Ms. Shayne." She sits, "Okay Dr. Chase." He walks towards her, "We're going to go over your test results and then I have some stuff for you to fill out." Reva giggles, "You're very serious today." He looks at her, "I'm your doctor. Let's not act like this is anything more than that." Reva is confused by him. Old Museum: Coop is texting on his phone. Stephanie walks over, "Who's that?" He turns, "Oh my sisters. Lucy and Harley are at the Spaulding meeting. I'm just joking with them." Stephanie nods, "Wow. I'd be so bored. I'm not a business person. Not my kind of job." He shakes his head, "Me either. I'm perfectly happy as a teacher. I'm not into business take overs and whatnot." She nods, "Then the rest of your family is cops. Frank, Harley, Marina, and now Rocky." Coop sighs, "I hate it. I mean it's so stressful worrying about them every time they go to work. But Marina's not a cop anymore. And I'm hoping Rocky changes his mind." Stephanie sighs, "But he's so passionate about it." Coop nods, "Well I can't imagine having another person I love going out there." Stephanie sighs, "I feel sick telling you this right now." Coop laughs, "What do you want to be a cop now?" Stephanie sighs, "Coop." He stops laughing when he realizes she's serious. Caliente: Michelle is showing Jesse the club. She walks him around, "How does it look?" He looks, "Wow you and Bill have done a good job." She nods, "It took a while. But we've had good business so far. We had a great opening night." He smiles, "It's just funny. I mean he works for Lewis Enterprises. You are a doctor at Cedars. But you both run a nightclub as your second job. Kind of different." She nods, "Yeah it's hard to believe. But it helps pay the bills. Plus this was something Ava and Danny were working on. So we took that as a sign and it led us together." Jesse nods, "That's like fate." She laughs, "I guess so." Jesse walks up to the music. He plays a song, "It's a nice set up here." She laughs, "You think so?" He reaches out his hand, "Dance with me?" Michelle takes his hand. Jesse dances with Michelle. Beacon: Marah is in the lobby. Cassie approaches them, "Hey you guys." Marah turns, "You again. I told you to stay away from me, Jeffrey, and RJ. Do you not get it?" Cassie sighs, "I understand. I actually tried to talk to RJ earlier today. I saw him outside." Marah scoffs, "You don't care what I tell you." Cassie nods, "He ran off again. Now I get it. It's not you keeping him from me. RJ isn't ready for me to be back in his life." Marah nods, "He might never be." Cassie nods, "Yeah. Well I'm here to make you a deal." Marah shakes her head, "I'm not going to let RJ become a bargaining chip in your games." Cassie sighs, "No games. But I'm talking about a trade." Marah is confused, "What are we trading?" Cassie takes out keys, "Homes. I will move in at the Beacon. And you will get the farmhouse." Marah stares at Cassie in confusion. Spaulding Enterprises: A man named Mr. Wallace is leading the meeting. "We are to see if Annie Dutton remains CEO of Spaulding Enterprises or if that title will go to Alexandra Spaulding, Alan Spaulding, Phillip Spaulding, Alan Michael Spaulding, or Elizabeth Spaulding. Now we've never had such a large number of hats in the ring so we will have a different way of organizing this. We are going to narrow it down to two candidates to go against Ms. Dutton. This meeting will be to take it down to 4." Everyone looks at each other. Many are confused as to what is about to happen. Wallace continues, "Today we will here from the last 3 people who announced their candidacy. Mr. Alan Spaulding, Ms. Alexandra Spaulding, and Ms. Elizabeth Spaulding. By the end of the meeting only one of them will still be in the running for CEO." Liz, Alex and Alan all look at each other. Alan grins, "This should be interesting." Wallace continues, "We will now go on to announce any proxy's." Alexandra rises, "I hold the proxy of my son Nick Spaulding." Phillip rises, "I hold the proxy of my ex wife Melinda Sue Lewis." Annie rises, "I hold several proxies." All eyes turn to Annie. Annie goes on, "The proxy of Doris Wolfe, the proxy of Amanda Spaulding, and the proxy of Natalia Spaulding.' Many are shocked. Annie smirks at a clearly surprised Alan. PART TWO: Caliente: Jesse is dancing with Michelle. She smiles at him, "You have become a very good dancer." He shakes his head, "A dancer is nothing without and equally great dance partner." She smiles, "Well thank you." He spins her, "You look beautiful." She laughs, "Oh my goodness." He dips her, "Michelle..." She stares into his eyes. They lean close to each other's faces. Michelle jumps away, "No." He turns to her, "I'm sorry." She turns off the music, "I just got caught up in the music and the memories and everything." Jesse nods, "Me too. I didn't mean to upset you Michelle. I was just in the heat of the moment." She smiles, "We are in Caliente." He laughs, "Exactly." Michelle picks up her purse, "Maybe we should go." Michelle knows how close she was to kissing him. Old Museum: Stephanie sits with Coop. Coop doesn't say anything. She looks at him, "How are you feeling?" He sighs, "Surprised. I mean I didn't expect this from you Stephanie. Not at all." She shakes her head, "Neither did I. But with everything that happened with Vi. I really felt good being able to stop her and handle the situation. I think I can do again." He turns to her, "Why would you want to? The whole time there was a million chances for you to be killed." She nods, "But I wasn't. I'm good. And the training will make me even better. I talked to Rocky-" He nods, "Of course this was Rocky's idea." She shakes her head, "No. It wasn't. I asked him about it after I realized that I wanted it. He is passionate for it too. He gets what I am feeling and what I want." Coop shakes his head, "So I will have my little brother and my girlfriend risking their lives now?" Stephanie nods, "Coop please just support me. Tell me that you will not let this come between us." He looks at her, "But what if it does? What if I tell you not to do it or I'd leave you. Would you still do it?" Stephanie is greatly offended. Spaulding Enterprises: Everyone is getting ready for the speeches. Olivia and Dinah turn to Annie. She looks at them, "Okay so right now we don't worry about us. We do defense. Alexandra, Lizzie or Alan. We have to find not only who will be the easiest to beat but other things." Dinah nods, "Like what?" Olivia sighs, "I know what she's talking about. We have to make sure that we can turn the Spauldings against each other. And turn them to our side." Annie nods, "Precisely." Liz is with Rafe. She looks at him, "I have my speech ready. This is perfect. They will understand that people like Granddad and Aunt Alex are in no condition to do this while young people like me are more than ready for it." Alexandra is with Alan. She turns to him, "Well brother, I guess after today only one of us will still be in the running. May the better woman win." She reaches out her hand. He shakes it, "Or man." Mr. Wallace looks to them, "We will first hear from Ms. Elizabeth Spaulding." Rafe and Liz get ready. Cedars: Noah and Reva are still in the room. Reva looks at him, "Is something bothering you?" Noah shakes his head, "Reva I'm your doctor. This is a very professional relationship." She nods, "I know that Noah." He sighs, "I don't want this to be confused with our past relationship." Reva sighs, "By me or you?" He looks at her, "Reva-" She shakes her head, "Does this have anything to do with why you left early at my house the other day?" Noah nods, "I just decided to let you and Josh have a moment alone with your children." Reva sighs, "I knew it! That's what it was all about. It was about my family with Josh." Noah shakes his head, "No Reva." She nods, "Yes. When you came back to town you were so happy to see me. Probably forgot why you left me. Now you remember. You said you could never compete with Josh. You wanted me to be with Josh and my kids and not with you. It was your selfless moment." Noah doesn't say anything. She continues, "Well I have news for you Noah. My karma caught up with me already." Noah stares at her. Beacon: Cassie is holding the keys out to Marah. Marah looks, "What's the catch." She shakes her head, "No catch. Hart left this house to me because he wanted RJ to grow up there. But RJ isn't with me anymore. He's with you now so if you have RJ you have the house." Marah sighs, "So what their a package deal?" Cassie nods, "It's not my house. It's RJ's house. Plus I live alone now. For the first time in my life. I don't need the room. But you have RJ and Jeffrey. You need a house." Marah takes the keys, "So is this supposed to get you in good with RJ or something?" Cassie shakes her head, "You can tell him that you got it straight from Lizzie if you'd like. I'm not trying to buy my son's love." Marah nods, "That's a good thing because you can't." Cassie nods, "I know. RJ is much better than that." Marah looks at her, "How soon can we move in?" Cassie sighs, "Whenever your ready. I have my stuff out already." Marah nods, "Then we'll move our stuff in tonight. I'll drop my key off with Olivia and you can get it from her." Cassie nods, "Okay." Marah walks away, "I'm not going to thank you." Cassie sighs, "I didn't expect you to." Marah leaves. Spaulding Enterprises: Liz gets up in front of the room. Liz looks at all of them, "I am Elizabeth Spaulding as you all know. I decided to run for Spaulding CEO after realizing what horrible patterns it's been thrown in. I have never been CEO before that's true. But that is a very good thing. I've never made the mistakes they all have made, I've learned from them though. And the hard truth is that my Granddad and Aunt Alex won't be around forever. None of us will. But I'm young and I have a whole future of plans I have made for this company." Alan scoffs, "For who? You gave your daughter up?" Phillip looks at Alan, "Shut up." Alan shakes his head, "Is this the woman you want running the company? Someone who hands their child over to some cousin kissing lowlife like Jonathan Randall?" Liz sighs, "I'm sure they'd prefer that over a man with a cold heart like yours Granddad." A furious Alan turns away. Liz goes on, "I'm not trying to come up her and lie to everyone. I'm not perfect. But I plan to make Spaulding Enterprises a business that people can be proud to be a part of again. I hope you will all vote for me today. Elizabeth Lillian Spaulding." Liz takes her seat. Mr. Wallace stands, "We will now here from Alexandra Spaulding. PREVIEWS: The Spaulding Board Room heats up! Marah and Jeffrey go the farmhouse Michelle runs into Cassie Reva explains to Noah Stephanie makes a decision

A lot of catching up to do in Springfield... Bauer Home: Michelle and Jesse are in the kitchen. Michelle looks at him, "I honestly had a feeling you were going to say that. So you and Drew are not together anymore?" Jesse nods, "Yep. We're done." She sighs, "Why? I mean you guys seemed so happy." He shakes his head, "Can we please not do this right now. I'm just not ready to talk about it right now." She nods, "Of course. That was rude of me to ask." He shakes his head, "No. It wasn't rude. It's just that you are worried. We all used to be friends." She sighs, "Jesse you and I were more than just friends. We were so much more than that." He nods, "I know. Back then I thought we were going to spend the rest of of our lives together." She nods, "I did too. Before Danny." Jesse sighs, "Yep. And now Danny has passed away. So it's going to be you and Bill?" She nods, "Yes. Bill and I are going to be married. He's always been my best friend." Jesse sighs, "Lucky Bill. But are you guys more than friends now?" Michelle stares at Jesse. Reva Bend: Marah and Shayne walk to their mother. Reva sighs, "Noah is going to be my oncologist while I battle cancer all over again." Marah shakes her head, "No. It's not fair." Reva sighs, "I know baby." Shayne is angry, "Why? Why does this have to happen now?" Reva looks at him, "I know it's scary. I was so scared at first too. But I beat cancer once. And I know that I can do it again. I can feel my strength. And I see it in you guys too." Marah nods, "And it's different now. Because we are going to be here with you every step of the way." Josh walks over, "We are all going to be here for your mother. We are going to get through this as a family." Shayne wipes a tear, "Mom you are going to beat this. And when you do we are all going to be closer than ever." Reva cries, "I think so too." Marah hugs her, "I love you Mom." Reva smiles, "I love you too." Shayne and Josh hug them. Noah watches the family in a close moment. Farmhouse: Cassie is cleaning the house. Her doorbell rings. Cassie answers it. Blake and Harley are standing there. Cassie is in shock, "Oh my God. I didn't expect this." Harley sighs, "Jeffrey called us and convinced us to come over." Blake nods, "We hesitated but we're here." Cassie smiles, "I can't believe you guys are here!" The three hug. Harley turns to Blake, "I wasn't sure at first but when I look at her smile, it's like we got our best friend back." Blake nods, "I think so too." Cassie's eyes tear up, "I really thought you guys would be avoiding me from now on." Harley shakes her head, "We know what happened with the tumor. And everything else. We still love you Cassie." Cassie leads them to the living room, "Well then we have a lot of catching up to do." Harley nods, "Like what?" Cassie grins, "Family, work, men!" Blake laughs, "Well then it's a good thing I brought drinks!" The 3 friends laugh. Spaulding Mansion: Annie, Dinah and Olivia are going over plans. Annie can tell they are bothered, "Okay ladies. Spill it. What is bothering you two?" Dinah sighs, "Mallet found out about our plan to make him Chief. He's confused about it and angry with me." Annie nods, "Well he will come around. He loves you." Olivia sighs, "I wish I could say the same for my daughter. Ava is furious with me and trying to get out of Ravenwood early." Annie nods, "This is precisely why we need to stay in power. We can fix these things as long as we are running Spaulding." Dinah gets a text message. Olivia and Annie turn to her. Dinah grins, "It's from Natalia." Olivia nods, "What does it say?" Dinah looks at them, "Good news ladies! Natalia says she sent me the paperwork signed. Soon I will be in control of her proxy and I will contain Natalia's vote." Annie grins, "Well one down. One to go." They are thinking about Mel. Towers: Lorelei walks into the restaurant. Alan is sitting alone eating. She sits with him, "Alan. How have you been?" He looks at her, "Well look who is actually talking to me." She grins, "Look at you sitting here all lonely and awkward. Poor big Alan Spaulding." Alan nods, "Yes. Well Natalia is still on vacation." She grins, "Doubt it. She's probably off wondering why she decided to be Mrs. Alan Spaulding in the first place. God knows I did that a million times when we were married." He looks at her, "Well this is a first." She is confused, "What is?" He sighs, "You never want to talk about our marriage. You act like it never happened." She nods, "True. But It wasn't all bad." He sighs, "So why did you become Mrs. Alan Spaulding?" She grins, "Power. I was tired of being looked down on. Treated like dirt and crap. Being Mrs. Alan Spaulding meant power. People feared me and they had reason too." He nods, "But now you are my daughter in law again. You remarried Phillip." She nods, "I suppose so." Alan looks at her, "Why are you acting this way." Lorelei worries that he's onto her. Company: David walks inside. Lucy just finished a meeting with the staff. He hands her an envelope, "This came for you." She looks at it, "Spaulding Enterprises? Why the hell would they be sending me anything?" He looks at her, "Did you anger a Spaulding?" She shakes her head, "I can't think of any reason. I don't work at Lewis anymore, so it can't be business." She begins to open it. Cyrus is at the counter, "Let me guess. You were married to a Spaulding right?" She nods, "Alan Michael." He nods, "I got one too. I was married to Alexandra." Lucy takes out papers, "Your attendance is requested for the upcoming board meeting." David looks at her, "I'm confused." She sighs, "Well everyone who marries a Spaulding ends up divorcing a Spaulding. And if you're lucky you'll get to keep stock." Cyrus nods, "I didn't even think about it. But I guess I'll see you there Lucy." She sighs, "I guess so." The messages have been sent all over town. PART TWO: Bauer Home: Michelle gets up from the table. She looks at Jesse, "Of course I love Bill. I wouldn't be marrying him if I didn't." He nods, "I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to upset you. But it's been less than a year since Danny died. I don't want you to rush into anything if you aren't ready." She sighs, "Okay, I know you are trying to be a good friend but you haven't been here. You don't know. Danny and I... he was the love of my life. Nothing will change that. But I said my goodbyes. I'm ready to move on for me and for my children." Jesse nods, "I'm sorry. I think Bill is going to make you a very happy woman when you marry him." She nods, "Of course he will. Bill is an amazing man. Any woman is lucky to have him." He nods, "He's lucky to have you too." She sighs, "Thank you. So where are you staying?" He sighs, "A motel." She shakes her head, "Not anymore. You can stay in our apartment over the garage." Jesse looks at her, "Seriously?" She nods, "Yes. I won't take no for an answer." Jesse smiles at her. Reva Bend: Reva is sitting on the couch with Shayne and Marah. Reva looks at them, "Well I'm going to fight with everything I have to stay with you." Marah nods, "You better. I want you to see our weddings, our children, I want you to see our grandchildren. That's how long I need to have you. At least that much." Reva nods, "I would love that." Shayne sighs, "You have always been there for us. Then we couldn't be there for you last time. But now we can be." Reva nods, "It's funny. Jonathan was really the one with me when I had my cancer. Now he's the only one who can't be." Marah nods, "Well he did a good job at helping you. Now it's our turn. We will help you." Josh smiles, "We got some great kids huh?" Reva wipes a tear, "The best." Josh nods, "We're gonna get you through this Reva." Reva nods, "Well with a family like you and a doctor like Noah I think I'm going to have nothing to worry about. Right Noah?" They all turn to see that Noah has slipped out. Company: David and Lucy sit by Cyrus. David looks at them, "So are you guys excited. You have some high power right there." Cyrus nods, "Oh yeah. Deciding who the new CEO will be. I was looking it up and almost all the Spauldings are running. Alex, Alan, Phillip, Alan Michael, Liz. And Annie is running to keep her spot." David shakes his head, "Annie Dutton. A woman who should not have that kind of power." Cyrus turns to Lucy, "So who has your vote?" She shakes her head, "I have no idea. Certainly not Alan Michael or Alan. I'm still skeptical about the others." Cyrus sighs, "I think I owe it to Alex to vote for her." Lucy turns to him, "You'll just copy Harley's vote." Cyrus sighs, "That's right. Harley will be there." Lucy nods, "She's been married to plenty of Spauldings. Phillip, Alan Michael..." David nods, "Gus. He'll be there too." Cyrus grins, "And Olivia. Me, Harley, Gus, Olivia. All in one room. Sounds like it'll be interesting." David laughs "I guess I'll be missing a good show." The three laugh. Towers: Alan is out on the balcony smoking a cigar. Lorelei walks out, "You hiding from me?" He scoffs, "I would like to be alone Beth. Thank you." She nods, "That's great. I'll be alone with you." He turns to her, "Usually you can't get far enough away from me. Why the change of heart." She sighs, "Well I think we did have something special at once. We can't deny it." Alan nods, "Once upon a time. But our happily ever afters were seperate. Phillip is the love of your life. And Natalia is the love of my life. She is my wife now." She laughs, "I still get a kick out of it. Natalia was a hotel maid at the Beacon and a waitress at Company. Now she's Mrs. Alan Spaulding. A Cinderella story. Without prince charming." Alan looks at her, "Thanks." She looks him in the eye, "I hope you don't expect to be named CEO anytime soon." Alan nods, "So that's what this is. Warning me that Phillip is going to beat me." She nods, "Of course. What else would it be?" She puts his hand on his. Alan looks at her, "I'm not sure." She walks away, "See you at the meeting Alan." Alan is pretty confused. Farmhouse: Cassie looks at her friends, "So how is work going?" Blake grins, "The show is going great. Ratings are good. I'm very proud of Light Talk." Harley nods, "I'm still a detective. Not a lot of action right now which is a good thing. But Gus and I are partners again and getting offered some big cases coming up." Cassie nods, "Gus? What about Cyrus?" Harley sighs, "First of all Gus is my partner. Second Cyrus and I broke up." Blake nods, "I really thought you two would be good together." Harley sighs, "I thought the same thing about you and Remy." Blake nods, "Well maybe Remy and I aren't over." Cassie grins, "I wanna here more!" Blake shakes her head, "Later! Wait I wanted to ask you. Are you going to the meeting?" Cassie shakes her head, "What meeting." Harley sighs, "For the new CEO of Spaulding." Cassie shakes her head, "No! They took most of my stock away when they found out I wasn't a Spaulding. I'm done with that. I have stock but I'm selling it." Blake sighs, "Don't waste it. Sell it to us." Cassie looks at them, "You're going?" Harley nods, "Well I have to ensure Zach and Angela's futures. They are my Spaulding children. Even if I have to see Cyrus and Gus together." Cassie laughs, "Now I might go!" The three continue laughing and talking. Spaulding Mansion: Annie, Dinah and Olivia are still planning. Dinah grins, "So Natalia is on board and trusting me to handle her vote. I guess she is still upset with Alan." Annie nods, "This is good. Now we have to get Mel to vote exactly how we need her too." Dinah turns to Olivia, "How is that going?" Olivia sighs, "Mel is very worried about her husband. It might take a little longer but I think soon she'll see things our way." Annie nods, "I have several other proxy opportunities pending. We'll have to wait and see who shows up." Dinah smiles, "Things are really looking up." Olivia grins, "We are really going to do this aren't we?" Annie nods, "There's not a doubt in my mind that we can maintain our control of Spaulding." The three to decide to toast with champagne. Water for Olivia. Annie raises her glass, "To us. We've been planning this moment and it is going to be a sweet victory." The ladies toast and are predicting great success.

Interesting Confessions in Springfield... Reva Bend: Marah and Shayne walk up to the front door. Reva and Josh asked to meet them there. They knock. Josh opens, "Hey guys. Come on in." Marah walks in first, "So we kind of figured it out. Why you called us here to meet you." Josh turns to her, "You did?" Shayne nods, "And we think it's great. We saw you guys at the Bauer Barbecue. So close." Reva walks in, "You're here." Marah hugs her, "I'm so happy for you Mom." Reva looks at them, "What?" Shayne smiles, "You and Dad are getting back together." Reva is confused, "What?" Marah grins, "We know you guys were trying to hide it but of course we could see it." Reva shakes her head, "I think you guys are confused." There is a knock on the door. Josh opens it. Noah is there, "Is Reva here?" Marah and Shayne stare in shock. Bauer Home: Bill, Michelle and Jesse are sitting at the table. Michelle brings water, "So what brought you back to Springfield Jesse? I mean it's been so long." Jesse sighs, "I don't know. I guess eventually everyone comes back to Springfield." Bill nods, "I guess so. I mean we both left and came back. But then again Michelle and I have our families here." Jesse sighs, "Well I feel like you guys are my family." Michelle smiles, "Of course we are. But I just wish Drew was here too. I mean we reopened Millenium in a new name. We could get some tips on running it from her." Jesse nods, "Yeah Max said he was back in Springfield not to long ago. It kinda got me homesick." Bill looks at his watch, "I have to get to the office. I have some meetings today." Michelle nods, "Well we'll all have lunch together. Then you and I can go over wedding plans." Bill kisses Michelle goodbye before he leaves. Jesse looks at Michelle, "I'm really happy for you and Bill. I'm sure you'll have a great wedding." Michelle looks at him, "Cut the crap. Why are you really back in town Jesse? What are you leaving out?" Jesse stares at her. Ravenwood: Olivia is walked down the hall. The doctor lets her into a room. Ava is laying on her bed, "Mommy Dearest. What brings you by my place today? Sorry I didn't have a chance to clean up." Olivia sighs. "Hi. I brought some stuff for you. Emma made you another get well card." Ava takes it, "Emma is a sweetheart." Olivia sighs, "I was thinking I know you can't be with HB on his birthday so I was thinking maybe I could get a gift that you'll pick out." Ava scoffs, "What a little mini straight jacket so he can match his Mommy. No wait he'd need a doctor's uniform to match his new Mommy." Olivia shakes her head, "Michelle is not HB's Mom. You are and we all know that." Ava sighs, "No thanks to you. My child will be back in my arms one day. I promise you that." Olivia nods, "I hope so. I think that if you just work on getting yourself better it will all happen sooner." Ava sighs, "I'm still not going to be there for his first birthday." Olivia shakes her head, "No probably not." Ava looks at her, "Well Edmund is working on getting me out of here. And I will get out of here." Olivia is worried about her daughter. Mallet & Dinah's: Dinah is on her cell phone. She is talking to her work at the station, "Okay so I'm scheduling the interview with Annie and when I get the promos ready I will give it to you. Okay?... bye." Dinah hangs up. Mallet walks up to her, "We need to talk." She shakes her head, "I have to go to the station so our talk is gonna have to wait." He shakes his head, "No now." She is worried, "You are scaring me. Is something wrong with Anthony or Belinda?" He sighs, "No something is wrong with you." She is confused, "Excuse me." He looks at her, "You have not been acting like yourself for a long time and it is really worrying me." She scoffs, "You are getting really insecure because of how much I'm working and how much money I'm making. Well I'm sorry but I'm not going to stop doing what I'm doing." He is angry, "Oh yeah. That's why I'm upset. I'm jealous of you. It has nothing to do with how I got my job." She stares, "What do you mean?" Mallet looks her in the eyes, "Is it true? Did Annie Dutton pay bribes to get me my job?" Dinah doesn't know what to say. Alan & Natalia's: Alan is in the kitchen. He here's the front door open. Alan runs over, "Natalia?" Rafe walks inside, "Hey Granddad." Alan hugs him, "Raphael. I'm so happy to see you. Where is Natalia and Alan Jr?" Rafe sighs, "They aren't with me." Alan is confused, "Where the hell are they then?" Rafe sighs, "I don't know. Mom took a seperate plane and said she wasn't coming back to Springfield yet." Alan scoffs, "She can't do that. I'm her husband. I should know where she is. She can't do this." Rafe sighs, "She said it was safe for me to be home. Now that everything is settled with Aubrey." Alan nods, "No one knows about your role in it all. I believe Elizabeth knows that you were friends with Aubrey but not about about you being the one who kidnapped Sarah." Rafe nods, "I know. I already talked to Liz. We're meeting for lunch later to go over our plans." Alan shakes his head, "What plans?" Rafe sighs, "To take over Spaulding Enterprises." Alan isn't happy. Spaulding Mansion: Lorelei is still playing Beth. They walk in to their bedroom. Phillip kisses her, "Beth, these weeks have been amazing being your husband again." She smiles, "You have made me the happiest woman in the world all over again. I love you Phillip." He kisses her, "I love you so much." She smiles, "Hey! Why don't you go downstairs to the kitchen and get me something to eat. I'm so hungry." He is confused, "I thought you told the kids we didn't eat in our rooms." She laughs, "Rules were meant to be broken." Phillip goes to get the food. Lorelei looks into the mirror, "Oh hot damn girl! You are a freakin genius! Not only are you married into the Spaulding family again. But they believe you is Beth still. And Phillip, he's gonna do whatever the hell you want him to do. He loves his sweet Beth." She goes through Beth's jewelry. So expensive and nice. She picks it up, "Damn Beth you are one classy chick. Well were. Because you're gone for good. I'm here to stay." PART TWO: Alan and Natalia's: Alan walks to Rafe. Alan sighs, "I'm glad to see you taking an interest in the company but you and Elizabeth are too young. Besides I'm the one who is going to be the CEO of Spaulding again." Rafe shakes his head, "It's time for a new generation in Springfield to take over." Alan shakes his head, "No. Because I'm not through with the company yet. There is a lot to be done." Rafe nods, "Well Liz and I will take care of it. We have a lot of bi plans for the company." Alan sighs, "I don't want to hurt you Raphael but I'm not going to go easy on you two." He nods, "That's fine Granddad. That's just fine. We don't need you to go easy on us." Alan sighs, "You are going to be disappointed." Rafe shakes his head, "Maybe you should focus on your family. Starting with my Mom." Rafe walks away. Ravenwood: Olivia is still with Ava. She looks at her daughter, "Ava I want you to stay here until you are really better." Ava sighs, "I don't get it. If you and Bill are really over then why do you want to keep me in here?" Olivia sighs, "Did you not here me? Ava I want you to be better. You are better than what you've become." Ava shakes her head, "You accuse me of being a bad person, kidnapping, lying, scheming, those are things I learned from you. You are the biggest bitch I know." Olivia nods, "Maybe so. That's why you should remember that I'm always ten steps ahead of you." Ava scoffs, "You were. But I'm smarter, younger, and I have nothing to lose at this point." Olivia gets up, "I have to go. I tried to talk to you like a normal person. But that was a mistake." Ava laughs, "Yeah! You are a moron! I'm a psycho remember?" Olivia sighs, "I do love you." Olivia walks out. Olivia cries as she leaves her daughter at Ravenwood. Bauer Home: Michelle is sitting with Jesse. Jesse looks at her, "What are you talking about?' Michelle sighs, "Jesse, you obviously came back to Springfield for reasons that you aren't saying." He shakes his head, "Why else would I be here Michelle?" She looks down, "I don't know. But it just seems like a random time for you to come back after all these years." He nods, "Well I mean I can't think of a reason to come so why not just pick a random time to get a on a bike and head towards Springfield? That's all it is Michelle." She sighs, "Well what about Drew? Why isn't Drew here? Every time I bring her up you change the subject." Jesse looks down, "Let's just not talk about Drew right now. I'm just not in the mood for that." Michelle sighs, "See! What is going on Jesse. I mean I know I haven't talked to you guys in a while but what am I not seeing?" He sighs, "Why can't you just leave it alone?" She shakes her head, "You know me. I'm not good at just leaving things alone. If I was then I never would have dated you." Jesse laughs, "That would have been a mistake." She sighs, "What's going on?" He looks at her, "Drew and I are over." Mallet and Dinah's: Dinah turns from Mallet. She walks away, "You have some pretty bizarre theories. I mean this one is really good." Mallet nods, "Is it true?" She sighs, "Mallet." He sighs, "It is isn't it?" She shakes her head, "Not the way you worded it-" He shouts, "Damn it! Dinah!" Dinah sighs, "Just here me out." He looks at her, "Do you realize what you've done?" She shakes her head, "I think you're over reacting. You deserve to be the Chief. And look how great you've been at it. You are making Springfield a better places." Mallet looks at her, "How can you justify what you did?" She hugs him, "I know you'll thank me one day. I love you so much Mallet. I did this for you." Mallet pulls away, "I have to go." She is confused, "Go where?" He shakes his head, "I don't know." Mallet leaves. Spaulding Mansion: Lorelei is laying in bed. She is rolling around, "Wooee! I'm livin the good life again!" She hears Phillip coming. Phillip opens the door. She smiles as Beth, "Oh Phillip. I missed you." He grins, "I missed you too. I got you a sandwich from downstairs." She jumps, "Give it!" He smiles, "You sure are hungry." She looks at him, "Do we have any chips honey?" He sighs, "I'm sorry I didn't even think of that." She sighs, "I'm sorry. I hate to be so selfish but I'm just so hungry. I haven't eaten." Phillip grins, "Well don't be sorry. You are my new bride and I'm going to treat you like the angel you are." Phillip kisses her and then heads to the kitchen. Lorelei takes a big bite, "Mm. I love the Spaulding food. I'm so glad to be home." Lorelei lays back and looks at the ceiling. She starts planning in her head. Reva Bend: Noah walks in. Reva smiles, "Hey Noah." Noah looks at the kids, "Marah, Shayne. Wow you guys have really grown up haven't you?" Marah walks over, "Noah!

So you two are back together?" Noah looks at Reva. Reva shakes her head, "No." Shayne is confused, "Then what's going on?" Reva sighs, "Noah is here as my doctor." Marah shakes her head, "But Noah's an oncologist." Shayne looks at her, "No." Reva nods, "My cancer's back." A very upset Marah and Shayne look at each other.

Bill walks up, "Jesse." Jesse hugs him, "Bill how are you man?" Bill nods, "I'm good. It's good to see you. You look great." Jesse grins, "Thanks." Michelle looks around, "Is Drew coming?" Jesse shakes his head, "No. Just me. I'm glad to be back in Springfield. Feels like it's been forever." Ed walks up and shakes his hand, "Welcome home Jesse." Jesse grins, "Thanks Dr. Bauer." Jesse turns to Michelle, "I'm so sorry to hear about Danny. I know how much you loved him." Michelle nods, "Yeah. But it's been a rough year and I'm stronger. I miss Danny every day. But my kids help me." Bill walks up and takes Michelle's hand, "We're doing great. Things are much better now." Jesse looks at them and realizes they are a couple. Over on the other side of the BBQ. Reva is wiping tears. Josh sighs, "So your cancer is back?" Reva nods, "That's why Noah is here. He is my doctor now and he's going to try and save my life." Josh looks at her, "When did you find out?" She sighs, "When I was in the hospital. I know I can't do this again. I can't keep this secret from my family. I'm sorry I didn't want to ruin your 4Th of July." He shakes his head, "You aren't. I'm so sorry Reva. But thank you for coming to me and telling me." She nods, "Seeing you and Cassie together I..." He sighs, "I'm so sorry. That must have been hard for you especially right now." Noah is confused but doesn't say anything. Reva sighs, "I'm going to tell the kids. But I'm waiting until the holiday is over." Josh nods, "I understand. And I'll help you. We can tell them together. We'll get through this." Noah puts his arm around Reva, "Did you hear that Reva. We are going to get through this. I promise." Josh stares at Noah. Cassie is chasing RJ. Cassie shouts, "RJ! RJ please wait." Marah walks in front of Cassie, "Stop! Stop right there." RJ is gone. Cassie looks at her, "Marah I don't have time I have to talk to RJ he must be so confused." Marah nods, "I'm going to take care of it. Why did you even bother coming here Cassie?" Cassie sighs, "Listen I know you must hate me Marah. And you have every right too. But RJ is my son. I have to have a chance to talk to him and make him understand." Marah shakes her head, "I'm not going to let you hurt him again. You have caused him enough pain." Cassie sighs, "I know you are trying to be a good cousin and I love you for that Marah-" Marah scoffs, "Cut the crap. I don't want to look at you so just go. Let Springfield be happy on this day." Cassie shakes her head, "I'm sorry if this bothers you but I have to go see my son." Cassie walks away. Marah grabs her arm, "Over my dead body." Shayne and Rocky are together. Rocky sighs, "Hey Shayne." Shayne can't stop staring at a shirtless Rocky, "I'm great. Thank you. How are you?" Rocky shakes his head, "I'm okay." Shayne sighs, "There's been a lot of crap going on in Springfield huh? I mean a lot." Rocky nods, "And we aren't really involved in it so that's a relief." Shayne laughs, "Yeah I guess so." Rocky sighs, "I never really got a chance to apologize for real. I guess I just didn't." Shayne nods, "Well I didn't either. I treated you like crap and I'm so sorry Rocky." Rocky sighs, "I'm sorry about everything with Kevin. I mean I'm not saying I chose him by mistake. I was in love with him. But that is a decision I should have made before our ceremony." Shayne nods, "Yeah you should have." Rocky nods, "Well I'm gonna let you enjoy your BBQ. Happy 4Th." Rocky begins to walk away. Shayne turns, "Was?" Rocky stops, "What?" Shayne says, "You said 'I was in love with him' are you still with Kevin?" Rocky turns and looks at Shayne. Olivia and Mel walk in to see Phillip with the girls. Olivia runs over, "Get out of here! Get the hell out of here." Phillip jumps up, "Olivia I just ran into them here. I had no idea that they would be here." Olivia grabs him by the shirt, "You son of a bitch. The judge is gonna here about this and you will never see her ever again. You'll be lucky if you see the outside of a jail cell." Mel tries to calm her down, "Olivia." Olivia looks into Phillip's eyes, "I don't care if Beth and Harley forgive you. I remember you kidnapped our children. You are a monster and I will kill you before I let you back into her life." Emma runs out of the room crying. Leah chases after her. Olivia follows. Mel looks at Phillip, "We thought you'd still be on your honeymoon. I talked her into bringing Emma." Phillip sighs, "Beth is at the house. I thought I'd stop by and see Rick. I didn't know. But Emma is my daughter. It's bad enough I never get to see her. Can't I just talk to her?" Mel sighs, "I'm Olivia's lawyer Phillip. I wish I could say something else but she's not going to forget about this." Mel walks to find Olivia. Alan is chatting with Blake. Blake looks at him, "Why are you trying to start drama for me Alan?" Alan shakes his head, "I'm not Blake. I'm just trying to understand why a woman who seemed so smitten by Remy Boudreau one minute is just so over him the next." She shakes her head, "Who says I'm over him?" Alan grins, "That's what I thought. But why would Blake Thorpe of all people allow a little girl like Elizabeth go after her man? Come on. Have you gone soft?" She scoffs, "I'm never going to go soft." He nods, "I hope so. Because it's getting sad to watch." She sighs, "What's in this for you?" He smiles, "You know me so well. I just want Elizabeth to be free of losers like Coop Bradshaw, Jonathan Randall, and Remy Boudreau. She deserves so much better." Blake nods, "So who is good enough for your family Alan? Anyone? Or are you going to have to inbreed?" Alan scoffs, "We aren't the Lewises." Blake laughs, "You haven't changed a bit Alan." Alan nods, "Nope. But have you?" Blake turns and stares at Remy who is talking with Liz. PART TWO: Jesse looks at Michelle and Bill. Jesse realizes, "Oh. So you two are a couple now?" Bill nods, "Yeah. After everything that happened to us each we leaned on each other." Michelle nods, "Bill has been great for me. And my kids." Jesse sighs, "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't surprised. But you two seem happy together." Bill smiles, "Well we are. Very happy." Jesse looks at Michelle, "You look just as beautiful as ever Michelle." She laughs, "Look at you. Oh my goodness." Bill jokes, "And look at me." Jesse laughs, "It's great having the old gang back together." Michelle nods, "Well get Drew to come down here and then we'll really have the gang back together." Jesse nods, "Yeah." Michelle knows there is something he's not telling her but doesn't know what it is. Rocky walks towards Shayne. He looks at him, "You wanna talk about Kevin and I?" Shayne sighs, "I just was wondering if you two were still together." Rocky sighs, "Right now we're taking a break. But we're not over. Not by a long shot." Shayne smiles, "You sure about that?" Rocky nods, "I'm in love with him. I can't explain it." Shayne sighs, "Of all the people you could have picked." Rocky shakes his head, "You don't get to pick who you fall in love with. Or you know I would have picked you." Shayne sighs, "Is that supposed to make me happy?" Rocky shakes his head, "I don't know. You were my first love Shayne and that will always be special." Shayne changes the subject, "Happy 4Th." Rocky nods, "Happy 4Th." He walks away. Cassie and Marah are arguing still. Jeffrey walks over, "Hey hey. What's going on?" Cassie sighs, "I'm just trying to talk to my son." Jeffrey turns to her, "You were looking for RJ?" She shakes her head, "No. I ran into him. I was in shock so I hesitated and he ran off before I could say anything." Marah nods, "Thank God for that. Because you would have probably broken his little heart." Cassie shakes her head, "You are getting on my last nerve Marah. I know I made mistakes but RJ is still my son." Marah nods, "Then do what's best for him and leave him the hell alone okay Cassie." Cassie doesn't know what to say. Marah takes Jeffrey's hand, "Let's go check on RJ." Jeffrey turns to Cassie, "I'm sorry." Marah and Jeffrey leave. Cassie begins to cry in frustration. Olivia sits in the living room. Mel sits with her, "Are you okay?" Olivia wipes tears, "I ruined my daughter's holiday." Mel shakes her head, "No you didn't. She'll be okay. Leah will cheer her up then they'll run out to do fireworks." Olivia turns to Mel, "I looked crazy didn't I?" Mel sighs, "You had a right to." Olivia nods, "I don't care if he acts nice, and smiles, and says he's changed because I remember. He tortured me, he threatened me, the threatened to take everything from me. He was gonna take my daughter and I was never going to see her again." Mel sighs, "That's not going to happen again." Olivia nods, "You bet your ass it won't. I swear that if he comes near her again I will pull out a gun and blow his brains out. Bill is Emma's father. Not Phillip!" Olivia walks away. Mel follows her. Liz gets into the hot tub. Remy looks at her, "Is it okay for you to be in here?" She nods, "It's good for me. I can relax. I need to avoid stress in my life right now." He sighs, "Well good luck. You're still a Spaulding." She nods, "Don't remind me." Remy can't keep his eyes off of Liz's smoking body. Liz has sunglasses on which are hiding her staring back at him. Blake watches from over by the house. Alan sighs, "Wow this is getting sad Blake. The old Blake would never just sit and mope while another girl goes after her man." Blake sighs, "If you shut up now then we have a deal." Alan grins, "You mean that?" She turns to him, "I lost Ross. I won't lose Remy." Alan shakes Blake's hand. Josh looks at Reva and Noah. He clears his throat, "You came all the way back here to help Reva with her cancer?" Noah nods, "Yes. I'm a doctor and Reva's friend." Josh nods, "And that's all?" Noah sighs, "Do you have a problem Josh?" Josh shakes his head, "No. I'm sorry but this is just a sensitive subject for all of us." Reva nods, "It'll take getting used to but it's going to be okay. I'm not giving up." Noah looks at Reva, "Neither am I." Josh sighs, "And neither am I." Noah hugs Reva, "Hey I'm gonna go say hi to a few people." Noah walks away. Josh looks at her, "You're gonna be okay Reva." She nods, "I know." Josh and Reva walk back to the party. Rick and Michelle walk over to Ed. Rick puts his arm around his Dad, "Speech time." Ed shakes his head, "No. I'm not going to hog it. It's your turn this year Rick." Michelle shakes her head, "No Daddy. I'm not gonna listen to Rick brag about winning games. I wanna here from you." Ed shakes his head, "No." Alexandra walks over, "I'd like to hear it." Ed turns, "You're here." Alex grins, "Go on Ed." Ed walks up, "Can I have every one's attention please? I just wanted to take a moment to say a few things. Thank you all for being here. Today we celebrate our country and what is stands for. How lucky we are to live in this country. Also to live in this town. No matter how much we curse it something keeps us here. We all look up at our lighthouse as our guiding light. Leading us all to our future.

Cassie watches while Marah sits with Jeffrey and RJ. Alan and Blake both head to their cars. Michelle smiles, "It's beautiful." She turns to see Bill holding out a ring, "Will you marry me?" Michelle smiles, "Yes." Bill stands up and the two kiss. In this moment all is okay in Springfield.

The Annual Bauer Barbecue in Springfield! Bauer Home: Ed is flipping burgers outside. Rick walks over, "Dad! I think this is gonna be the best Bauer BBQ this town has ever had." Ed smiles, "I sure hope so." Michelle walks over, "I got more buns. Everything is going great." Ed stops to hug them, "I'm so glad we are all together. Now Jude, Leah, Robbie, and Hope are all inside right?" Michelle nods, "Yes. They are working on decorations." Bill walks over, "Look at all our Bauers." Michelle kisses him, "Hey! I'm so glad you're here." Bill grins, "This is going to be a great day." Michelle nods, "I'll go take your kids in to see everyone." Michelle takes Emma and HB inside. Ed looks at Bill, "Today?" Bill takes out the ring, "Today." Rick hugs him, "You are gonna make my sister so happy. I just know it." Roxie walks over. Bill hides the ring. Roxie kisses Rick, "Hey! My first Bauer BBQ in decades! This is going to be a blast." All the Bauers are ready. Alan Michael and Mel are in the house. Mel was talking with Leah. Mel looks at him, "So I just remembered that you are half Bauer. So I'm a Bauer wife again." Alan Michael nods, "Well I won't be parachuting in this year. But it should be fun." She nods, "Yeah." He takes her hand, "I'm sorry about the other day. I didn't mean to embarrass you." Mel sighs, "I just... I hate seeing you stressed out." He nods, "I'll be fine. Once I'm named CEO." Alan Michael walks outside. Mel is very worried. Cassie is sitting in her car. She is afraid to face Springfield. She hears a tap on her window. Josh is there, "Cassie?" She rolls it down, "Josh? Uh... hey." He is in shock, "I heard you were awake but wow. Hello." She sighs, "Hi Josh. Look I know last time you saw me..." Josh shakes his head, "I know it was your tumor." She nods, "Josh a lot of it was..." He nods, "Even our marriage. I know. I'm not angry. I love you Cassie just as much as I have always." She gets out, "I'm so glad to see you Josh." The two hug. Reva walks up, "Deja vu." Cassie pulls away from Josh, "Oh Reva! No this isn't-" Reva smiles, "I know. It's just a joke. We've all moved past that. Let's just enjoy Independence Day." The three start to walk towards the party. Josh stops, "Is that?" They see Noah walking towards them, "Hey it's the old gang." Coop and Stephanie are going by the pool. Coop looks at her, "So Vi is doing well?" She nods, "Yes. She is dealing with issues and feeling better." He grins, "I just can't believe how good you were. You were able to over power her and then calm her down. I didn't know you had that in you." She shakes her head, "I didn't either. But it was defiantly an eye opener about myself." He looks at her, "How so?" She laughs, "I don't know. Go get me a hot dog please." Coop walks away. Rocky walks over, "Hey." She smiles, "Hi. Happy 4Th." He grins, "You too. I'm so glad to see you with Coop. I'm hoping to spend more time with them before I go to the police academy." Stephanie nods, "Actually I was wanting to talk to you about that." Rocky looks at her, "Oh yeah? What about it?' She sighs, "Uh... I'm thinking about possibly joining the force." Marina and Susan pull up in their car. Marina scoffs, "Let's just say our hello's and leave. There is a party at the lake I gotta get to." Susan sighs, "Will it kill you to be here?" She nods, "Probably. Half the people here get on my nerves." Marina lights up a cigarette. Susan turns to her, "The Bauers are gonna ask you to put that out." Marina nods, "Well I'm gonna ask the Bauers to kiss my ass." Susan sighs, "Are you really gonna start crap with them. Beside aren't you and Michelle friends now?" Marina shakes her head, "That is the last person I want to see. I don't wanna see that look of disappointment in her face. That I let the last child of Danny's die. I don't think so. I'm not talking to that bitch." Susan shakes her head, "How do you know she is gonna say?" Marina starts punching the car, "Just leave me the hell alone! Leave me alone!" She starts to cry in her seat. Susan doesn't know what to do. She gets out and heads to the barbecue. Remy is sitting in the hot tub. Blake walks over, "Is there room for one more?" Remy sighs, "We live in a free country." Blake gets in, "Hello Remy." He looks up at the sky, "Hello Blake." Blake sighs, "We haven't talked in months. Are we just never gonna talk again?" He shrugs his shoulders, "Maybe." She scoffs, "You are being so childish right now." He laughs, "Wow! I thought you liked that." She stands up, "Okay I'm getting out. Sorry I tried to have an adult conversation with you." He shakes his head, "No! You came over here in your little bikini flaunting your stuff. Then get me to fool around with you so you could get all your urges out. I'm not some toy for you Blake." Blake leaves. She goes around the house and is heading for her car. Alan approaches her, "Hello Blake. Let's chat." Blake is surprised to run into Alan. PART TWO: Stephanie and Rocky sit at the pool. Rocky is talking about the stuff he will be doing. Stephanie is very interested, "Wow. I mean it must be so exciting to know that you'll be a hero." Rocky nods, "Yeah. I mean it's something to be proud of. What got you interested in all of this?" She sighs, "I had one of those life changing moments where I felt like I could do anything. And this is something." He nods, "That was it for me too. After surviving that attack last year. I felt like I could take on anything and really do something good with all of that." She sighs, "I'm so sorry about that. At least Kevin Marler isn't here." Rocky looks away, "Let's not talk about that." She nods, "Sorry. But I'd like it if we didn't talk about the cop stuff in front of Coop. I'm not ready to tell him yet." Coop walks up, "Hey guys!" Stephanie smiles at him. Mel is sitting inside. Olivia walks in, "Hey. Is something wrong?" Mel sighs, "It's Alan Michael. He is completely consumed by this whole Spaulding business thing." Olivia sits with her, "I'm sorry you had to see this. But this happened to me too. Phillip went nuts. But I hope things don't turn that way for you." Mel sighs, "They won't. But it sure upsets him a lot." Olivia rubs her back, "Did you ever suggest him to not run." Mel shakes her head, "No, no, no. He has worked so hard. I would never ask him that." Olivia sighs, "But Mel-" Mel turns to her, "Can we not talk about this? Just not today. It's the Bauer BBQ." Olivia nods, "Okay. Let's go check on Emma and Leah." They go into the kitchen. Phillip is there with his arm around Emma. Olivia is in shock, "What the hell are you doing?" Phillip looks at her, "Olivia I just ran into her." Olivia runs in between him and Emma, "Get away from my daughter!" Blake is with Alan. Alan looks at her, "Well I must say for a woman of your age you do look very nice." She sighs, "What do you want Alan? Why are you even here? Every year you come even though you're not welcome." He nods, "That's why I come. But I'm actually wanting to talk to you about that little boy toy of yours Remy." She walks away, "Shut up Alan." He follows her, "I want you to keep him away from my Elizabeth." She turns, "Lizzie? Why would I have to do that. Remy never liked Lizzie. What are you talking about?" Alan grins, "Oh you don't know. Remy follows Elizabeth everywhere. He's claiming to be doing his job. But he is obviously growing fond of her now as time goes on." Blake sighs, "Well if it makes him happy." He shakes his head, "It doesn't make me happy. Elizabeth deserves better than some cop. She is a Spaulding. And why are you so okay with it? Don't you want Remy all to yourself?" Blake doesn't know what to say. Susan is making a plate. Marina walks over, "I'm ready to leave." Susan sighs, "No. I haven't talked to my Grandma Reva yet." Marina sighs, "Then give me the keys." Susan shakes her head, "Just be patient." Marina scoffs, "Whatever you lame ass." Marina continues smoking. She grabs a beer. Shayne walks over, "Hey guys. Marina you smoke?" Marina throws some sarcasm, "No why?" Shayne sighs, "We haven't had a chance to talk,. I'm so sorry about everything that happened-" Marina shakes her head, "Look I'm done with this crap. I'm out of this. I'm done." Marina walks back to the car. Susan goes after her. Shayne is confused. He turns around to see Rocky leaving the pool. Rocky's in his swim trunks. Shayne can't keep his eyes off of him. Noah looks at Reva, Josh, and Cassie. Cassie hugs him, "Noah! Oh my God!" Noah smiles, "It's so great to see you Cassie. You look just as beautiful as ever." Josh nods, "Noah. What brings you back to Springfield?" Noah looks at him, "Oh I'm here for Reva's-" Reva takes his hand, "He's here for me." Josh's mouth drops, "Oh that's.... that's interesting." Noah is confused, "Yes it is." Cassie nods, "Well I sure did miss a lot. I'll be right back I'm gonna grab a beer." Josh looks at Noah, "So you came back to town just to see Reva?" Noah nods, "Uh yeah. I guess so." Reva drops Noah's hand, "I'm sorry. I can't do this. I can't keep lying. I'm sorry Noah." Noah sighs, "Sorry I'm not a good liar." Josh is confused, "What's going on?" Reva sighs, "He's here for me. Because he's my doctor. My cancer's back." Sadness consumes Josh's face. A few yards away Cassie is opening a beer. She sees a teenage boy staring at her. She does a double take, "RJ?" He runs off. She chases him, "Oh God! RJ!!!" Michelle is standing in the center of the BBQ. She shouts, "Everyone! I just wanted to say I hope everyone has a good time and I'm so happy to see all of you." Bill walks over, "And I'd like to speak on behalf of Springfield. Thank you to the Bauers for throwing this great celebration every year and making it better than the last." Michelle hugs him, "I love you." Bill smiles, "I love you too. And I want to take this moment to ask you a favor." Bill tries to talk but the sound of a motorcycle is drowning out his voice. The crowd turns. A man on a motorcycle is coming towards the party. Michelle is staring and walks closer. The man parks his bike. He walks towards them with his helmet still on. No one can tell who he is. Michelle keep staring. He takes off his helmet. Bill, Ed, Rick and a few others are surprised. Michelle stares, "Jesse?" Jesse Blue is back in Springfield. PREVIEWS: The BBQ continues!

A day of conversations in Springfield... Cedars: Liz is with Reva waiting for her doctor. The door opens and Dr. Noah Chase walks in. Reva gasps, "Noah." Noah looks at her, "Reva..." Liz looks at him, "Dr. Chase? It's me Lizzie Spaulding?" He looks at her, "Little Lizzie? Oh my God! How are you sweetheart?" Liz hugs him, "I'm great! How are you?" He looks at her, "You aren't sick again?" She shakes her head, "It came back 2 years ago but I'm much better now. Thank you. I'm just supporting my friend Reva." Noah walks to Reva who is still in shock, "Hello Reva." Reva stares, "Noah. I haven't seen you in so long. I can't believe my eyes right now." Liz looks at her watch, "I'm gonna step out and let you guys catch up with each other." Liz walks out. He walks towards her, "Hello." She is in shock, "What are you doing here Noah?" Noah looks into her eyes, "I'm here to save your life Reva." Reva stares in shock. Spaulding Mansion: Dinah and Olivia are outside at a little table. They are drinking tea. Annie and Mel walk over, "Hello Ladies." They stand up. Olivia smiles, "Mel! I'm so happy to see you." Dinah hugs her, "Welcome home." Mel grins, "Thank you. Annie invited me to hang out with you guys. I hope that's okay." Olivia smiles, "Of course it is honey." They all sit down. Dinah looks at her, "So how was your trip?" Mel grins, "We had so much fun. We went to New York and I met his mother Hope. She is very sweet. Then we went shopping and he flew to so many romantic places. It was great." Olivia nods, "I hope you still have time for that if he becomes the new CEO of Spaulding." Mel looks at her, "What do you mean?" Dinah sighs, "I think what Olivia means is that becoming CEO can be stressful. I mean I remember when I Alan Michael was CEO last time it about drove him nuts." Mel shakes her head, "Well thank you guys for being concerned but you are thinking of the old Alan Michael. My Alan Michael is much more calm, and gentle now." Suddenly Alan Michael runs over, "Mel! What the hell is this?" Mel jumps at the sound of his angry voice. Police Department: Mallet's office has had some renovations. Mallet is putting his stuff back in it. Marina is out at her old desk cleaning it out. Mallet walks out, "Hey. It's great to see you." She looks up, "Hey. I'm just cleaning out my desk. I'll be outta here soon don't worry." Mallet shakes his head, "I wish you'd reconsider. We'd love to keep you on the force with us." She shakes her head, "No. I'm not a cop anymore." He sighs, "Come on the Chief now." She looks at his office, "Yeah it's nice. My Dad never had an office like that one." He nods, "Well you know we got a lot of money now. So this whole place is going to benefit." She sighs, "That's great Mallet." He is confused, "Is something wrong Marina?" She shakes her head, "No. I just thought that you of all people would feel guilty about using the money." He looks at her, "Me? Why me?" She scoffs, "Well the donations we got were the reason that you got your job that you have right?" Marina walks away leaving Mallet confused. Country Club: Ed is waiting at a table. Alexandra walks over, "Hello Ed. It was nice of you to invite me out here to meet you." He smiles, "Well thank you for coming." She nods, "Of course. Actually I wanted to talk to you about donating some money to Cedars." Ed nods, "Well that's great. I'll talk to Charles about it and we'll set everything up." She sighs, "Well I'd like to get the media in on it then we can meet up for it all." Ed sighs, "So this is apart of your campaign as the CEO of Spaulding Enterprises isn't it?" Alex nods, "Well of course. I need to win." Ed sits back, "I just thought you were trying to be a good person without the publicity." She scoffs, "Isn't good anyways. The publicity is just a plus for me. I should get something out of the deal." He sighs, "You're better than this you know. I remember the Alex who lived at our house after she was thrown out of the mansion." She nods, "And I appreciate it. Now it's time to get back to my real life. I'm still Alexandra Spaulding." Ed is somewhat disappointed. Beacon: Susan is cleaning up while Marina is out. There is a knock on her door. She opens it to see Gus, "Hey. How are you?" He grins, "I'm good. Can I come in?" She lets him in, "Marina is out." He nods, "I saw her leave. I wanted to talk to you about some things that I've been thinking about." She looks at him, "Sure. What about?" He sighs, "Um... Olivia asked me to take our relationship further. To a more romantic level." Susan sits, "Oh. So now your just-a-friend wants to be more and your friend with benefits has to be out of the picture." Gus sighs, "I didn't mean it like that. I haven't said yes to her yet. I'm still confused about things." Susan shakes her head, "What things?" Gus sighs, "I don't know. I'm not sure I'm ready for a new relationship. If all my feelings would be in it." Susan gets up, "Of course. Of course." He is confused, "What?" She sighs, "Well let's see. I don't think you have lingering feelings for Natalia. You never had feelings for me. So we know what this is all about don't we? You still have feelings for my mother." Gus stares at Susan. PART TWO: Country Club: Alexandra can tell Ed is upset. She looks at him, "Ed? You're the one who invited me out here. What did you want?" He sighs, "Well I'm not so sure." She sits back, "Maybe you were hoping to see the more sweet Alexandra. She's in here. But I'm busy trying to save my family's company so I don't have time to be sweet." Ed sighs, "Why are you going after CEO, Annie, Alan, Alan Michael, Phillip, Lizzie. They all are going after it. Can't you just trust them to take care of it?" She shakes her head, "Well the barbecue is coming up. Do you trust Rick and Michelle to cook the burgers?" Ed laughs, "I guess not." She nods, "Then you see what I'm talking about." He sighs, "Are you gonna be at the barbecue?" She nods, "I'm thinking about it." He looks at her, "It would make me very happy to see you there Alexandra. Very happy." She grins, "Well how can I say no to that?" Ed and Alex smile at each other. Beacon: Susan is getting frustrated with Gus. Gus gets up, "Susan I'm not trying to hurt your feelings. You know that don't you?" She sighs, "You aren't. I don't have feelings for you Gus. We didn't date. We just had sex whenever we needed it." He nods, "And it was great. We were going through a lot. Coming off of addictions. But I think we're better now." She nods, "I agree. And right now Marina needs me." He smiles, "I think it's nice that you are helping Marina while she is going through all of this" Susan sighs, "I just need to know. Are you gonna be trying to go after my Mom again?" He sighs, "Honestly. I don't know." She nods, "Well you better be sure before you do anything. Because she deserves to be happy. Don't ruin what she has with Cyrus unless you are sure that you can be the man for her." Gus nods, "I understand." Susan takes his hand, "A kiss goodbye?" Gus kisses Susan. The two start to lay down on the bed. Cedars: Noah sits with Reva. He goes over information, "I've been checking out your case and going over everything..." She shakes her head, "Don't do that. Don't just sit there and act all casual. It's me." Noah sighs, "Would you prefer if I took off my shirt and told you that I missed you?" She laughs, "That would be good." He sighs, "I did miss you Reva." Reva looks at him, "How did this happen? How did you find out?" He sighs, "I found out that they needed a specialist in Springfield. I was afraid it was Lizzie but then I saw it was breast cancer. I decided to take it on. Then I read the name." She smiles, "Reva." He nods, "Reva Shayne. You're single?" She laughs, "That's all you think about?" Noah laughs, "I miss that smile. Reva I don't want you to worry. You need to stay confident." She nods, "You really think you can save me?" He shakes his head, "No. But I'd be happy to help you save yourself. You're Reva Shayne." Reva is so happy to see him. Police Station: Marina is carrying her box around. Mallet follows her, "Okay what the hell are you talking about?" She sighs, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped." He nods, "But you did. And you said that the donation given to the police force played a role in me getting my job. What did you mean by that Marina? I don't get it." She looks at him, "You really don't do you?" He shakes his head, "No." She sighs, "Just forget I said anything." Mallet shakes his head, "I can't. Marina what is this about?" She sighs, "The money was donated by Spaulding. From Annie Dutton." He nods, "Annie Dutton. Why would Annie Dutton do that?.... Oh Marina. You don't think that Annie donating this money had anything to do with her friendship with Dinah?" Marina sighs, "We're probably wrong." He is confused, "We?" She nods, "Just cop talk." He scoffs, "Everyone thinks my wife bought my promotion?" She shakes her head, "We are probably wrong." She walks away. Mallet keeps thinking about his conversation with Dinah earlier. Spaulding Mansion: Alan Michael looks furious. Mel stands up, "What is this about?" Alan Michael scoffs, "You are acting all buddy/buddy with Annie Dutton and her partners." Mel shakes her head, "Dinah and Olivia are my friends. They were in our wedding party." Alan Michael nods, "Yeah that was then. This is now. We have to focus on the company." She sighs, "What about being newlyweds." He nods, "Okay just guilt me all you want. When you're ready to be serious I'll be inside." Alan Michael goes away. Mel shouts, "Alan Michael?" Annie gets up, "No honey. Just let him have his space." Mel sighs, "Our first fight as a married couple." Dinah nods, "The first fight is always the hardest." Olivia sits Mel down, "It'll be okay." Mel sighs, "I really didn't think the CEO thing would bother him this much." Annie rubs her back, "It'll be alright." Annie, Dinah and Olivia look at each other as the comfort Mel. PREVIEWS: Bauer BBQ!!! Michelle gets a huge surprise Blake runs into Remy Mel worries about her husband Stephanie has some interesting questions Reva, Josh, and Cassie all run into each other

Many confronations in Springfield..... Bauer Home: The Bauers are getting ready for the barbecue that is coming up. Rick and Ed are in the kitchen. Rick looks at Ed, "Are you serious? Bill is going to ask Michelle to marry him?" Ed nods, "Yes. But don't tell her anything. I shouldn't have told you anything." Rick scoffs, "Why?" Ed sighs, "You can't keep a secret." Rick laughs, "I can too." Michelle walks into the kitchen, "Hey guys." Rick turns, "Hey Michelle. How's Bill." Ed elbows him. Rick clears his throat, "Well I mean are you going to the barbecue with him this year?" Michelle stares, "Uh yeah. I'm with Bill now. Why do you ask?" Rick sighs, "Well I'm taking Roxie. So just making sure everything was cool with that." Michelle nods, "Yeah it's 'cool'. What's not cool is that our Dad is going to be single." Ed shakes his head, "It's only going to make it that much easier for me to focus on the burgers." Michelle picks up the phone, "Will you just call Alexandra Spaulding and get it over with?" Ed stares at his daughter. Farmhouse: Jeffrey unlocks the door to the farmhouse. He and Cassie walk in. She looks around, "Wow." He nods, "Well Liz did a lot of renovations." Cassie sighs, "Well she would have to since I burned the place down and everything." Jeffrey nods, "Is it hard for you? To see it like this." She shakes her head, "It's weird. Because it actually looks similar to the way Hart had it. Before I did my renovations. It's nice." He nods, "Is it difficult?" She sighs, "I've been thinking about Hart a lot lately. Maybe it's because I've been thinking about RJ. How is he?" Jeffrey sighs, "He is good. Staying with me and Marah. He doesn't know you woke up yet." Cassie nods, "Good because I want to get things together before he knows. I want to be the best mother I can be." Jeffrey nods, "Well I think RJ will be happy." Cassie turns to him, "Someone should be." He is confused, "What?" She looks at him, "Jeffrey we don't need to pretend. I know that Marah seems to hate me. I'm just confused as to why you, her boyfriend, is being so good to me. Your ex." Jeffrey doesn't know what to say. Cedars: Liz is leaving another room. Reva bumps into her, "Oh I'm sorry." Liz hugs her, "Reva! Oh I'm so happy to see you. I haven't seen you much since, well everything." Reva looks at her, "Why are you on this floor? Seeing an oncologist? You aren't sick again?" Liz shakes her head, "I'm just getting my check up. I'm sure that's why you are here too." Reva nods, "Yeah." Liz smiles, "Well think happy thoughts. Because you are going to be just fine. I'm sure of it." Reva is shaking, "Yeah." Liz notices all of her papers in her file, "Wow you brought a lot with you. What's that for?" Reva looks at it, "Uh... I..." Liz looks at her face, "Oh Reva... Oh God." Reva nods, "I'm seeing some specialist today. I'm not sure about their names. But my cancer may be back." Liz hugs Reva. Spaulding Mansion: Alan Michael and Mel are back from their honeymoon. Alan Michael carries her over the threshold. She smiles, "You don't have to keep doing this." He grins, "I'm thinking about doing it every time we enter a room now." Annie walks over, "Well we have a lot of rooms here so you might want to rethink that." Alan Michael nods, "I know how many rooms are here." Annie nods, "Sorry." Mel gets down, "Annie. Thank you for allowing us to have our wedding here. It was so lovely." Annie nods, "It really was. I was honored to have it here." Alan Michael shakes his head, "Why should you? I mean it's not really your house and won't be for much longer." Mel shoves him, "Stop. Annie thank you very much." Annie looks at Alan Michael, "Why don't you go tell the staff that you're home so they can get you room ready. And I'll show Mel around." Alan Michael scoffs, "I can show Mel around." Mel sighs, "It's fine honey. " Alan Michael walks away but isn't happy. Annie takes Mel's hand, "Come on. Time for girl talk." The two women walk down the hall. Alan Michael has a bad feeling. Mallet and Dinah's: Mallet walks in the door, "Dinah? I'm home." Dinah runs down the stairs, "Thank goodness. Where have you been? You were supposed to be here earlier." He nods, "I'm sorry. But I'm glad you missed me." He goes to kiss her but she gives him a quick peck. She walks away, "You can watch the baby because I have to get to work now. I'm running late." Mallet shakes his head, "What are you talking about? You said you got off from the station already." Dinah gets her stuff, "I know. But I have to get over to Spaulding. I have some stuff for Annie." Mallet scoffs, "What? Dinah I knew you were helping her out but I didn't think you were really working there." She sighs, "Well we are trying to make her the CEO of a company. It's not something I can just phone in Babe." Mallet sighs, "Dinah you are never home anymore." She nods, "I know. I love you. We'll talk about this later." She heads to the door. Mallet steps in front of her, "No. We need to talk about this now before it gets out of hand." Dinah is surprised by Mallet PART TWO: Farmhouse: Jeffrey doesn't know how to answer Cassie. He looks at her, "I don't know what you're talking about." Cassie looks at him, "Don't deny it Jeffrey. Marah looks at me like I'm the devil. And she has a right too. I did some pretty terrible things to everyone in town." He shakes his head, "You had a tumor. Your brain wasn't under your complete control. Not to mention you were mourning your deceased daughter. You aren't a monster." She nods, "I know. Thank you. But Marah still is apprehensive about letting me back into her life." He sighs, "It's not just that. She's apprehensive about letting you back into RJ's life." Cassie pauses, "Oh. I didn't even think about that." Jeffrey nods, "Yes. She is very protective of him." Cassie looks at him, "She can't keep me from him can she?" He shakes his head, "Legally no." She nods, "Well I'm not going to force RJ to come home. But I know my son. He loves me and I love him." She walks into the next room. Jeffrey hopes she right. Bauer Home: Michelle is putting the phone in Ed's face. He takes it away. She smiles, "Call her." He puts it up, "I'm not going to call Alexandra Spaulding. I don't even get what you're talking about." Michelle grins, "You know exactly what I'm talking about. You have been flirting with her for months! Make your move Daddy." Ed shakes his head, "Alex and I are just old friends." Rick smiles, "Come on! Alex may be older but boy she has always been a little hot." Ed looks at him, "Son please don't say things like that." Rick laughs, "Come on Dad. What do you have to lose?' Ed sighs, "Nothing but..." Michelle smiles, "See! Then go find Alexandra and ask her in person. It's so charming." Ed sighs, "Will it get you two brats off my back?" Michelle shakes her head, "No but it's a start." Ed puts down his food, "I'll be back." Michelle claps, "You won't be sorry Daddy." Ed leaves. Rick hi fives his sister. Spaulding Mansion: Annie is showing Mel around. Mel looks, "I haven't really been in here very much." Annie turns to her, "No?" Mel shakes her head, "I've always tried to stay away from this place. It gave me the creeps." Annie looks at her, "Does it now?" Mel turns to her, "Actually no. I don't know why but there is something different about it." Annie grins, "Maybe it's more calm now that it's my house. You know what I mean?" Mel nods, "Kind of." Annie can see she is going somewhere with this, "Well I mean, for Spauldings this place is stressful and has bad memories but for me it's just a big house you know." Mel laughs, "That's nice." Annie puts her arm around Mel, "I'm going to meet Dinah and Olivia for lunch. Would you care to join?" Mel nods, "Actually yeah. We can all catch up." Annie walks Mel away. Mallet and Dinah's House: Mallet is standing in Dinah's way. Dinah is confused, "Mallet what are you doing?" Mallet sighs, "Dinah we need to talk about this. You are never here, you hardly spend anytime with Anthony. And when I got here you couldn't wait to get away." She nods, "I'm sorry honey. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so rude. I love you and Belinda, and Anthony. You guys are my whole world. I love you all so much." Mallet sighs, "Then why are you never here?" Dinah looks at him, "I'm doing everything for you guys. I want everyone to have a happy life." He shakes his head, "Our life is fine. Besides we promised we'd work out our schedules so Anthony wouldn't need a Nanny." She stares, "What are you talking about? He doesn't have a Nanny." He nods, "What do you call Maureen?" She scoffs, "My sister." He shakes his head, "You treat her like a Nanny. She spends more time with Anthony then you do." Dinah backs up, "I can't believe you said that. Just get out my way Mallet." Mallet sighs, "Don't go." She looks him in the eye, "I love you. But I'm not letting any man stand in my way." She gets by him to the door. He looks at her, "Dinah be careful. Or you'll lose everything else in your life." Dinah leaves. Cedars: Reva is in her room with Liz. Reva goes on, "So now I'm getting some second opinions. They have a doctor I'm meeting today." Liz hugs her, "Well I'm going to be here with you." Reva smiles, "Thanks Liz." Liz backs up, "Um... so this doctor you are meeting. It would be Colin would it?" Reva shakes her head, "No. Well... I mean I don't know who it is they didn't give me the name yet." Liz gets nervous, "I just don't want to see him right now. I can't see him right now." Reva shushes her, "Calm down honey. I don't think it's Colin. I mean they'd tell me if a doctor I knew right?" Liz nods, "They didn't tell me when he was my doctor. But I'm not to worried about." Reva nods, "Well what are the odds that a doctor that we shared that one of us dated would walk through that door?" The two laugh. The door opens. They both turn. They gasp. Liz turns to Reva, "Oh my God." Reva stares, "Noah?" Dr. Noah Chase is there. PREVIEWS: Reva catches up with Noah Mel worries about Alan Michael!

People are called out in Springfield... Cedars: Liz is checking out of the hospital. Lillian smiles, "Oh I'm so happy you are doing better. Now remember once you get home stay off your feet." Liz nods, "Yes Nana I'll follow my orders. Lillian goes down the hall. Liz goes the other way. Cassie sees her go by her room, "Lizzie?" Liz turns, "Cassandra? Oh my God." Cassie sighs, "It's Cassie. I'm better now." Liz grins, "Oh that's great. I'm so happy for you." Cassie nods, "I'm sorry to hear about Jonathan and Sarah having to leave again. Reva told me." Liz nods, "So you and Reva are close again. That's nice." Cassie sighs, "Lizzie I need to tell you something. I've been holding a grudge against you for years. And it's time to let go. I know that you have changed. Tammy can forgive you I'm sure. So I do too. I forgive you for the things you did Lizzie." Liz is very surprised, "Wow. This is pretty crazy. I didn't expect any of this today. But it's actually kinda perfect timing." Cassie nods, "How so?" Liz goes into her purse and pulls out keys, "Here." Cassie looks at them, "What's that?" Liz sighs, "These are keys to the farmhouse. Your farmhouse." Cassie stares in shock. Police Station: Remy and David are going over their cases. Remy is going through some files, "We don't have any leads on Aubrey at this point. She could be anywhere. The last thing we found was her abandoned car a few weeks ago. But no signs." David nods, "Well we have to keep searching until we find her." Remy sighs, "Dude why? Okay Liz isn't in a hurry to bring her back. I mean maybe we should let her stay gone. That way she can't get back to hurt Liz again." David scoffs, "Remy that's not our job. Our job is uphold the law. Aubrey Cross is a criminal. We need to find her and make sure that she gets brought back to Springfield." Remy looks at him, "What is all of this about David?" David sighs, "What?" Remy looks at him, "For weeks all you could talk about was Marina's case now this? Why all the sudden are you looking into the Aubrey Cross case? What's up with that?" David sighs, "I'm doing my job." Remy sits up, "I don't think so. What is going on?" David doesn't know what to tell his partner. Outskirts: Susan sees Marina's car outside. She goes inside to find her. She walks over to see Marina surrounded by a bunch of party girls. They are shouting, "Go M-dawg!" Susan looks at her, "Hey 'M-dawg'. What are you doing?" Marina laughs, "Girls this is my cousin Sue!" One girl is giggling, "I love M-dawg! She doesn't need chasers! She downs her shots!" Susan nods, "Yes we're very proud of her. Marina who are the skanks?" Marina laughs, "These are my new bffs!" Susan shakes her head, "They look like the kind of dumb ass girls you see on the news after getting taken advantage of." Marina shakes her head, "Stop being a buzz kill! Come get wasted with us. I swear you'll feel better." Susan takes her hand and drags her away from the table, "Marina what the hell is this?" Marina smiles, "I finally found a place where I belong again. They love me! I drink every drink they throw at me. I drink all of these bitches under the table." Susan shakes her head, "Marina this is going to make you feel any better! You can drink all you want. Your baby will still be dead." Marina stares at her. Towers: Gus is sitting at the bar. Harley walks in, "Hey, is this seat taken?" He smiles, "No. How are you?" She grins, "I'm good. I just took the kids to see my Dad at Company. They love helping wait tables now." Gus laughs, "That's good. Get them started working young." Harley turns to him, "So what's new with you?" He sits up, "Well actually I've had a pretty interesting day. I got kissed earlier today." She is a little surprised, "Oh. Well that's interesting. I was kissed too. Seriously I'm not like competing." He nods, "Oh well. Who kissed you?" She sighs, "Cyrus. He wants us to get back together." He nods, "And?" She takes a deep breathe, "I'm thinking about it. I have feelings for him. But I'm kinda confused by everything." Gus sighs, "I'm in the same boat. Olivia was just my friend the other day. Now she wants more than that." Harley smiles, "Are you gonna give her more than that?" Gus shakes his head, "I have no idea what I'm gonna do." Harley looks down, "It's weird. Last time we talked we were both single and available. Now it looks like we might not be." Gus sighs, "Go figure." They look at each other. Cross Creek: Olivia is walking Leah and Emma to the door. Bill opens it, "Hey honey. Hey Leah." Emma hugs him, "Hi Dad." The girls then run off to Emma's room. Bill looks at Olivia, "Hey." She smiles, "Hi Bill." He backs up, "Would you like to come in?" She nods, "Uh sure. How have you been?" He shuts the door, "Good. Have you talked with Ava lately?" Olivia nods, "She is still sick. But I didn't think Ravenwood would change her this fast anyway." Bill sighs, "That's too bad. But um, while you're here I wanted to tell you something." Olivia nods, "Well go ahead. I'm all ears." Bill sighs, "I'm gonna be asking Michelle to marry me." Olivia is quite surprised, "Oh. Well that's nice." He nods, "Do you mean that?" She nods, "She's a nice girl. Very different than me but I guess that's positive. If it will make you happy then of course I'm for it. What's good for you is good for Emma and HB." Bill smiles, "I'm glad you feel that way." Olivia nods, "Well come on Bill. Did you really think that we were still gonna end up together?" Bill is somewhat speechless. PART TWO: Police Station: David is getting questions from Remy. David gets up, "I don't need this." Remy sighs, "I'm sorry. I'm stressed out. But until now I was kinda handling Liz's case more and you handled Marina's case more. Now things are changing and I'm confused." David turns, "Oh I see what this about." Remy is confused, "What?" David smiles, "It sounds to me like you have a certain thing for a little miss Lizzie Spaulding?" Remy scoffs, "Are you kidding man? She's a Spaulding. A Spaulding. My sister may have married one but I'm not that easily fooled. I know what they really are." David sighs, "Well I think it would be good for you. I mean it's been a while since Blake that you'd had a relationship." Remy sighs, "Yeah but I'm not going to start a relationship with a Spaulding of all people." David gets up, "Didn't you guys used to be friends?" Remy nods, "She changed." David sighs, "Well Lucy and I were friends. Then she changed. Now she's the woman I'm in love with. Something to think about." Remy hates that he can't get Liz off his mind. Cedars: Cassie looks at the keys in Liz's hand. She is very surprised, "Lizzie? You live at the farmhouse. It's your house now." Liz nods, "Yes. Colin bought it for from you and gave it to me as a gift. But things changed. Then it became my home with Jonathan and Sarah but ended up with horrible memories of Aubrey." Cassie sighs, "Lizzie." Liz shakes her head, "I won't take no for an answer. Didn't RJ's father leave you the farm?" Cassie nods, "Yeah." Liz nods, "Then RJ should get to have it. It's only right." Cassie takes the keys, "Are you sure about this?" Liz nods, "I am. I'm moving back into the mansion. And I know it sounds crazy. But I'm going to be CEO soon." Cassie sighs, "Just be careful Lizzie." Liz smiles, "Thank you." Cassie looks at the keys, "No thank you." Liz nods, "Call me later and we can go over the details." Liz leaves Cedars. Cross Creek: Bill is with Olivia. Bill sighs, "Uh... you and I. I guess I..." Olivia laughs, "Bill don't get nervous. We were married. You adopted my daughter. Of course we still love each other." Bill nods, "Is that bad?" Olivia shakes her head, "No. I'm sure Michelle still loves Danny." Bill shakes his head, "Danny is dead. That's different." Olivia sighs, "Well you know what? Danny was the love of her life and nothing will change that. I'm sorry." He nods, "Your making me feel better. Great job." She sighs, "I'm sorry. But I guess I always thought you were... my love of my life. Kinda." Bill laughs, "Kinda?" She sighs, "Shut up. Bill I was closer to you then any of my other husbands. But it didn't work." Bill nods, "But you are really okay with all of this?" Olivia nods, "I actually am sort of dating Gus Aitoro." He's surprised, "Gus? Harley's Gus?" She shakes her head, "No. Gus and Harley didn't work out either. Now Gus and I are going to be together." Bill nods, "I hope you and Gus can be as happy as Michelle and I are." Olivia smiles, "I think we will be." Olivia leaves. Towers: Gus and Harley are talking about the kids. Gus turns to her, "So how was Zach at the wedding?" Harley sighs, "He wasn't like smiling. But he was not complaining either. I think he is not as afraid of Phillip as he was before." Gus sighs, "Is that a good thing?" She nods, "I think so actually. Phillip seems to be changing back into the old Phillip." He laughs, "Again a good thing?" Harley laughs, "No. The Phillip that I fell in love with. Of course him marrying Beth again wasn't my idea of a good time. But I was supporting my son." Gus nods, "So Jude is telling me that he is going to have a big part in planning the BBQ." Harley nods, "Yeah! Rick is letting him do a lot. I think it's gonna be a lot of fun this year." He turns to her, "Are you taking Cyrus?" She sighs, "I don't know. Are you taking Olivia?" He takes a drink, "I'm thinking about it." She gets up, "Well maybe I'll see you there. I gotta go. See ya Gus." He smiles, "See ya Harley." Harley heads for the elevator. Outskirts: Susan is trying to calm down Marina. Marina is pulling away from her, "How dare you! How the hell dare you bring up my son!" Susan sighs, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. But you need to stop acting like this." Marina pulls away, "Leave me alone. I'm fine. I'm having fun for once in my life." Susan shakes her head, "No. We can do this stuff at home. We don't need to go out with strangers and get drunk, and act stupid." Marina scoffs, "I thought you were the wild Cooper?" Susan shakes her head, "Just because I have fun doesn't mean I'm some follower like these whores." Marina backs away, "You are a hypocrite." Susan sighs, "Just come back with me. What do you say?" Marina shouts, "Girls? Who wants some shots?" The girls shouts, "Shots, shots, shots, shots!" Susan decides to leave. Marina sits down, "Ugh! She gets on my nerves." A girl picks up her purse, "Let me dip into my medicine cabinet. Take one of these." She puts a pill in her hand. Marina looks at it for a moment with hesitation. But instantly throws it in her mouth. They continue to drink. PREVIEWS: Reva and Liz see a familiar Oncologist!

Surprise visits in Springfield..... Cedars: Reva has just left from talking to her doctor again. She put in a request for specialist. Reva walks down the hall. She looks up, "Okay Momma. I'm turning to you. Just give me a sign. A sign that things are gonna be okay." Cassie hears from her room, "Reva?" Cassie jumps out of bed and runs into the hall. She looks out, "Reva?" Reva turns, "Cassie?" Cassie hugs her, "Oh my God! Reva! Oh I'm so happy to see you." Reva looks at her, "When did you wake up?" Cassie sighs, "Days ago. I just have been working on everything with my doctors." Reva backs away, "You seem actually happy to see me." Cassie looks at her, "Of course I am... Oh yeah. The whole Cassandra Spaulding thing. She's gone Reva." Reva sighs, "Is she? Besides we had problems long before that." Cassie nods, "And I am so sorry Reva. I wasn't myself. With everything with Josh, and everything. I'm so sorry. I love you." Reva's eyes fill with tears, "I think I have my sister back." The two hug. Police Station: David is going over his cases. Lucy walks up with a lunch for him, "Hey!" He gets up, "Hey Baby." He kisses her. She smiles, "I just wanted to bring you some food. And see how you were doing at work." He nods, "Thank you. I'm fine." She whispers, "Can we talk alone?" David takes her into another room. He shuts the door, "So what's up?" She sighs, "That's what I'm asking you. I was wondering if you found out anything new on Aubrey?" David shakes his head, "No but we have people looking. But I still haven't put out the information that she might have a baby with her." Lucy sighs, "Why not?" He looks at her, "We don't even know if it's true." She nods, "But if it is true then Marina's child is out there and Marina is mourning a baby that isn't even dead." David sighs, "We have to wait until we are sure." Lucy nods, "I hope we find out soon. Because Marina... she hasn't been herself lately." Beacon: Marina has been staying with Susan. Susan walks in, "I'm home." Marina is laying on her couch eating chips, "You need to go to the store soon." Susan goes through her cabinets, "Okay where did all of my food go?" Marina just keeps laughing. Susan takes the chips, "You aren't getting high anymore. Because you're eating all my food." Marina sits up, "Hey! I'm gonna take my shower. Then you and I are going out clubbing tonight!" Susan sighs, "I'm tired." Marina laughs, "Are you joking? You told me about your work. Your Grandpa Billy basically pays you to get him coffee and make copies." Susan nods, "More than I can say for you. I mean I know your done being a cop but you could at least take on a shift at Company or something. Grandpa Buzz would give you some work." Marina sits up, "No! I'm not working right now. I'm just trying to have some fun." Marina goes into the bathroom. Susan is getting annoyed by her cousin. Park: Gus and Olivia are on a walk. Olivia laughs, "I have to admit it was a pretty funny movie!" He nods, "I told you. It was the second time I saw it and I still laughed my ass off." She smiles, "I'm glad we went." He grins, "Me too. You're a lot more fun then I would have thought." She shoves him, "Okay. Well I can be fun when I want to. I'm a real person. I just can't always let that side show." He looks at her, "Why not?" She sighs, "Because I look vulnerable. I'm not going to let people see that and use that against me. Especially when I'm a business woman. It's a tough world out there." He grins, "I'm glad you let me see this side." She nods, "You make me feel comfortable." Olivia holds his hand. Gus clears his throat, "Uh the movie, I mean that one scene..." Olivia turns to Gus and looks into his eyes. She kisses him. Harley's House: Harley is doing the dishes. The door knocks. She opens up to see Cyrus. She looks at him, "Uh... hey." Cyrus looks at her, "Harley I just had to come here and talk to you. I had no choice." Harley sighs, "Cyrus please don't do this." He scoffs, "You won't return my phone calls! You avoid me every chance you get. What am I supposed to do." Harley sighs, "Come in." Cyrus walks in, "We never even addressed our problems. You just stopped talking to me." She nods, "I'm sorry. That was messed up. I should have broken up with you in person." He takes her hand, "Please, please don't say that. Harley, remember how much fun we had together and how happy we made each other. Was all of that just out the window?" Harley looks at him, "Cyrus I really did love you. But things are just so complicated." Cyrus touches her face, "I still love you. What is so complicated about that?" Cyrus kisses Harley. PART TWO: Cedars: Reva and Cassie sit in her room. Reva is filling her in on a few things. Reva goes on, "So Jonathan is gone now. But we don't know where Aubrey is at all." Cassie sighs, "I'm so sorry Reva. You deserved to have your son back. Sarah is lucky to have a father like that. I think Richard would be really proud of his son." Reva smiles, "Oh my God. Sarah reminds me so much of Tammy. She has that sweet little voice. It's crazy." Cassie smiles, "That's so great. Tammy would have loved that." Reva nods, "I'm gonna get you and Roxie together. So you can officially meet each other." Cassie nods, "We are all going to have so much fun! I can already imagine it. The Shayne sisters!" Reva sighs, "I missed you so much Cassie." Cassie cries, "I missed you too Reva. You are more than my sister. I mean you've always been like my best friend." Reva hugs her. Reva whispers, "Thank you for coming back to me." The two sisters are reunited. Harley's House: Harley and Cyrus are kissing. Cyrus looks into her eyes, "Harley. I love you. I am in love with you and I want to be with you." Harley sighs, "Cyrus please stop saying that. Stop making this harder than it already is." Cyrus holds her, "Harley, you know that you aren't over me. Otherwise you wouldn't be looking into my eyes right now." She sighs, "Cyrus. We won't work together. There has just been to much that has happened." He shakes his head, "So the past bit us in the ass! It's in the past. It's not here anymore." She pulls away, "Just go. I'm not going to keep telling you." He nods, "I hope not. Because I don't want to leave." She sighs, "Cyrus... just wait. I have to go get my kids soon. Can we just wait on all of this. I'll set up a time that we can meet for lunch and discuss this." He nods, "You promise?" She nods, "I promise." Cyrus kisses her on the cheek before he leaves. Harley turns and looks at a picture of Gus and the kids. Park: Olivia and Gus are kissing. Gus looks at her, "What was that for?" She smiles, "I've been waiting to do that for a long time now Gus. I'm surprised I waited this long." Gus looks at her, "What happened to just being friends?" She sighs, "Gus we know this is more than a friendship. I mean we were friends first and that's great. But I think we both want this to go further than that don't we?" He sighs, "Olivia. I mean I'm tempted don't get me wrong. But don't you think that might ruin what we already have?" She shakes her head, "No. It would just make things better." He sighs, "How can you know that?" She holds his hand, "Gus, you are the best guy I know. I trust you more than I thought I could trust a man." Gus sighs, "I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried about all of this." She nods, "It's okay. Take some time to think about it. Call me." Olivia walks the rest of the way. Gus gets a text from Susan. Beacon: Susan sent Gus a text. She warned him that Marina is there in case he thought about stopping by to see her. Marina walks out, "I'm ready to go!" Susan turns, "I told you. I'm staying in tonight." Marina scoffs, "Why?" Susan is frustrated, "Okay, I am tired. I'm not going out. We can drink here if you want." She shakes her head, "No I'm getting messed up tonight." Susan nods, "Then it's best we stay home." Marina shakes her head, "No! But you know what it is a good idea that you stay sober because I might need you as my DD." She sighs, "Marina I'm not in the mood to drive your drunk ass around tonight. I'm sorry." Marina sighs, "Fine. I'm sure I'll find someone to bring me home. But I am in the mood for some shots." Susan sighs, "Marina come on." Marina leaves, "See ya lame ass!" Susan is getting worried about her cousin. Police Station: Lucy and David are still talking. Lucy sighs, "I'm worried about her. Marina usually handles things well but we never see her anymore. And when we do she's just sitting in Susan's car waiting for her." David turns to her, "She's hanging out with Susan?" Lucy nods, "Yes. Now don't get me wrong. I love both my nieces like crazy. But Susan is not a good influence for Marina." He nods, "I agree. Susan Lemay is a walking criminal. Marina is grieving and vulnerable." Lucy sighs, "But is she grieving a dead child?" He sighs, "I don't know! I wish I could give you an answer but I really have no idea." She nods, "I'm sorry but I have a really bad feeling David. And I am starting to wonder about things." He looks at her, "Like what?" She sighs, "Even if the baby survived the fire. Who's to say it's still alive. Aubrey couldn't have taken good care of it?" He nods, "And..." She sighs, "Maybe we shouldn't tell Marina anything until we know that her baby is alive." David and Lucy are holding a huge secret. PREVIEWS: David and Remy discuss cases Liz talks with Cassie Marina is out of control! Bill chats with Olivia Gus catches up with Harley

Thank you! Mel knows what she is getting herself into but that may still not be enough to prepare her for what it is like to be a Spaulding wife. Don't worry, right now Reva is allowing the sadness. But she is still Reva Shayne. It's only sooner or later that she'll take it on as her next life challenge. But I have also considered to right off the character of Reva. So this story is also in case she is written off. But there is another part of the story that could have her sticking around. I'm not pulling a CBS! LOL! FTL is here to stay. I have so much planned.

Emotions get the best of people in Springfield... Country Club: Beth is still locked in a room. Phillip is trying to get her to come out. Rick walks up to him, "Hey bud. Just relax. You know Beth. Let her calm down and she'll open the door eventually." Phillip sighs, "Will you let the guests know that things are held up right now?" Rick nods, "Sure thing." Rick walks into the wedding. Harley walks over to Phillip, "Hey." He turns, "Harley! Hi wow I didn't expect to see you here." She nods, "I didn't expect to come. But Zach is still your son and I thought... I don't know." Phillip smiles, "Is Zach here?" She nods, "He's sitting with Jude out there. But I think you should just leave him alone right now." Phillip nods, "Yes. I mean I'm just so glad he decided to come." Harley sighs, "I'm not going to be renewing my restraining order against you Phillip." Phillip gasp, "Are you serious? Thank you." Harley nods, "I can't say this means Zach is letting you back in his life. I'm just saying I'm not locking the door on it." Phillip is very happy to hear this. Cedars: Jeffrey is with Cassie. Cassie is looking through photos, "Wow RJ has grown up so much. I can't believe it." Jeffrey nods, "Blake says he looks like his Dad." Cassie nods, "It's so true. I look at him and I see so much of Hart. It makes me smile." He nods, "I was hoping it would." She looks up at him, "Thank you Jeffrey. Thank you so much for being here for me while I try and regroup." Jeffrey nods, "Of course." Out in the waiting room. Marah stands waiting. Edmund walks in, "Hello Marah. I got your call what's going on?" Marah sighs, "Edmund there is something you need to know." He shakes his head, "I really am not in the mood. I was just thrown out of a building and I'm not-" Marah stops him, "It's Cassie." Edmund looks at her, "Cassie?" Marah nods, "Cassie is awake." Edmund is in shock, "Oh my God. Where is she?" He pushes through to Cassie's room. Marah tries to slow him down. Edmund swings the door open. Cassie and Edmund stare at each other in shock. Road: Kevin is still walking. Rocky catches up with him, "Would you just slow down. Why are you acting like this?" Kevin scoffs, "You are so in denial! You are ashamed of me Rocky! How do you think that makes me feel?" Rocky shakes his head, "I'm not ashamed of you." Kevin nods, "Yes you are." Rocky sighs, "My family knows I'm gay!" Kevin shakes his head, "It is one thing for you to be gay. But for you to hook up with me. Kevin Marler. The guy who attacked you almost a year ago. The guy who everyone hates because of that. The guy who everyone refers to as a gay basher. How would you explain that?" Rocky shakes his head, "I don't care! I don't care if they are upset." Kevin nods, "Yes you do. Otherwise you would have told them about me a long time ago" Rocky sighs, "I'm going to my police academy soon. I have so much going on that I don't need this." Kevin nods, "That's why I'm making it easy for you. I'm walking away before I ruin everything." Kevin keeps going. Rocky keeps going after him. Bauer Cabin: Coop watches Vi hold the knife to Stephanie's throat. Coop tries to calm her down, "Vi you need to just relax. Don't do anything you'll regret." Vi shouts, "I've already made a fool out of myself! You never loved me! You just used me to get to her." Coop shakes his head, "No Vi! I didn't mean to hurt you. If I had known I was hurting you I would have..." Vi gets angry, "You would have what?" Coop is shaking, "I don't know. Vi I'm so sorry. But we would never have happened and never will. It doesn't matter if Stephanie is in the picture or not." Vi nods, "You're right she doesn't matter!" Stephanie grabs Vi's arm and wrestles the knife from her. Vi struggles and swings at her. Stephanie throws the knife away from them. Stephanie grabs Vi and throws her down. Stephanie pins her niece down. Coop runs to get the knife and puts it away. Vi struggles but ends up crying in Stephanie's arms. Country Club: Everyone is still waiting. Phillip gets off the phone with Lillian, "OK, thank you very much. Give Lizzie our love.... Okay bye." Rick walks up, "How's Lizzie?" Phillip nods, "You were right. She is doing much better now but they just want her to stay off her feet for now." Rick sighs, "Did you really think you were gonna have a normal wedding there buddy?" Phillip laughs, "I guess not." Rick nods, "You got the sick daughter, ex husbands, and the bride is having a fit. Seems like a normal Springfield wedding." Reverend Rutledge walks up, "Phillip. Is everything okay? How is Beth doing now?" Phillip sighs, "I'm not sure..." They hear the lock unlatch. Beth opens the door a little, "Phillip would you bring the Reverend and Rick in here please?" Phillip is surprised but does as she asked. Phillip, Rick, and Rev. Rutledge walk in. The door shuts. Guests outside wait with anticipation. PART TWO: Road: Kevin is still walking. Rocky gets in front of him. Kevin is angry, "Get out of my way!" Rocky shouts, "No! I am so tired of this! I'm tired of proving my love to you. You know that I love you. I love you in a way that I never even imagined and we know that." Kevin shouts, "I know! I've never been in love before. This is all new to me. And my first love is ashamed of me." Rocky shakes his head, "I'm not ashamed of you. I'm just waiting for the right time." Kevin looks at him, "When is the right time to tell people this? What if there is never a right time?" Rocky is really upset, "So you are just leaving me?" Kevin sighs, "I just think that we should take sometime and think about things and where we stand. There is no point in telling people about us if it is never going to work." Rocky has tears in his eyes, "So what? We take a break?" Kevin nods, "I think it's for the best." Rocky is speechless. Kevin pulls him into a passionate kiss, "See ya." Kevin leaves Rocky crying. Bauer Cabin: Coop is sitting in a chair. Stephanie is holding Vi in her arms while they sit on the floor. Vi is rocking back and forth sobbing. Stephanie sighs, "I love you sweetheart." Vi cries, "I don't know what to do. I don't know..." Stephanie shushes her, "Don't worry. We talked to some doctors. Some friends of of my Dad's. They are going to give you the help that you need okay sweetheart?" Vi shakes her head, "No, no, no, no, I don't want anyone to know about all of this!" Stephanie sighs, "The doctors can't tell anyone not even your Grandfather. Okay so don't worry." Vi is worried, "What am I gonna tell my dad and everyone?" Stephanie sighs, "We'll tell them that you are going on a trip. Maybe to Europe." Vi nods, "Okay." After another hour Stephanie takes Vi to her car. Coop drives separately. Country Club: All of the wedding guest are waiting. No one knows what is going on. Some have started to leave. Eventually the crowd around the room that is locked. Phillip, Beth, Rick, and the Reverend are still in there. Talking can be heard but not identified. Suddenly the door opens. Rick walks out, "Ladies and Gentleman thank you for all being patient.

Cassie jumps, "No. Get him out! Jeffrey, Jeffrey please get him out right now. Please." Edmund is confused, "Cassie?" Jeffrey pushes him out, "You heard her!" Edmund is pushed out, "Cassie?" Marah follows them. Jeffrey turns to Marah, "What the hell is going on? Why did you bring him to see her?" Marah scoffs, "Didn't you see me? I was trying to stop him from going in there." Jeffrey looks at her, "How the hell did he even know she was here?" Marah sighs, "He has a right to." Jeffrey stares at Marah, "I don't even-" Cassie calls for him, "Jeffrey?" Jeffrey turns to Cassie's room. Marah is left in the hallway. Edmund walks up behind her. The two peak into the room. Jeffrey tries to relax Cassie. Edmund whispers to Marah, "Cassie and Jeffrey? Things just got more interesting didn't they?" Country Club: The church doors open. All of guest pile out and wait for the bride and groom. Phillip walks out holding his bride's hand.
