JAYJAY

The Masquerade Ball continues in Springfield... The whole room is staring at Annie Dutton. Reva walks towards her and Josh, "What the hell are you doing here? I told you to get the hell out of here!" Annie sighs, "Reva I'm not trying to cause trouble." Reva shakes her head, "That's all you know how to do." Josh helps Annie up, "Reva just give her a chance." Reva stares at him, "Are you serious? Are you really doing this? Do you remember who this is Joshua?" He nods, "Reva..." Reva walks away, "I have to go!" Annie walks into the middle of the room. Dinah approaches her, "Annie? Is that really you?" Annie hugs her, "Dinah! I haven't seen you in so long! How are you?" Dinah backs up, "When did you get back?" Annie turns and sees Harley and Blake. She walks over to them, "Hello Ladies." Harley scoffs, "What is this Annie?" Blake shakes her head, "What do you want?" Annie sighs, "I am trying to come back and make things right. You all have to understand. Phillip? Do you believe me?" Phillip sighs, "Annie...." Alan stares, "Annie?" Annie walks towards him, "Hello Alan." Natalia steps between them, "I'm Natalia. Natalia Rivera Spaulding." Alan nods, "This is my wife Natalia." Annie looks at them, "Congratulations. I didn't mean to disturb the wedding. I just..." Josh takes her, "We should go." Josh walks Annie away. The room is still in shock. Down in the basement Rocky and Kevin are together. They are half undressed. Rocky is kissing Kevin. Kevin smiles, "Rocky. I am falling for you. I really am." Rocky nods, "I know. So am I. Kevin, I didn't see this coming. But it's something that we can't control." Kevin grins, "I've always dreamed one day you would be here with me in my arms. But I was afraid that it would never happen." Rocky grins, "When I'm with you... it's magic." Kevin smiles, "I could spend the rest of my life with you Rocky." Rocky suddenly pauses and pulls away, "Oh God! Oh no Shayne!" Kevin stares, "Rocky..." Rocky starts to get dressed, "He's probably worried sick." Kevin shakes his head, "Stop putting Shayne's needs before your own! Stop trying to please everyone. You owe it to Shayne to be honest." Rocky sighs, "Shayne and I are already planning our future. It's not fair to him." Kevin shakes his head, "No! You don't love him anymore. You feel sorry. You feel like you owe him for being your first love." Rocky sighs, "Shayne loves me. He would never hurt me. How could I hurt him?" Outside Shayne is with Marina. The two are making out. Marina smiles, "I knew it! I knew you really wanted me. All along. I knew in my heart you would come back to me." Shayne doesn't look at her, "Yeah yeah." She kisses him, "Oh Shayne. I told myself if I stopped chasing you then you would come to me. I knew it." Shayne has her up against the window of the car. He steps back, "Let's get inside." Marina nods, "We can't wait?" He shakes his head, "No. We need to be together right now." Marina opens the door. The two get in the backseat. They start tearing off their clothes. Marina grins, "Oh Shayne just tell me you love me." Shayne sighs, "Just stop talking. Just enjoy the moment." The windows steam up. Shayne has sex with Marina. In the ballroom Blake walks over to Ed. Ed sighs, "I can't believe Annie Dutton is back." Blake shakes her head, "I didn't forget our conversation Ed. You knew Ross was a live all along." Ed turns to her, "When did you find out?" Blake backs up, "Oh Ed." He sighs, "I was trying to help him. He was in politics. He tried to be a honest man and they didn't like that. People would have killed him or you if he hadn't done this." Blake nods, "That's what he told me. I found out two years ago. When Dinah was shot. Ross came back to check." Ed sits next to her, "You know he visited you while you were in a coma." She nods, "I know. He told me that. But Ed... I really thought he was going to come back with me." Ed sighs, "What happened? Why did Ross want to see you?" Blake cries, "Ross called me. He said he needed me. I thought we were going to get back together and come home. But he wasn't doing that he... He was ready to tell me goodbye." Ed nods, "He's ready for you to move on?" Blake sighs, "He said I should have moved on a long time ago. But I just can't let go of him." Ed turns to her, "Blake. Did you tell Ross about your relationship with Remy Boudreau?" Blake stares at Ed. Down by the staircase Liz is with Remy. Liz stares at him, "I didn't think you were coming back to town." Remy nods, "I went on some police stuff. Nothing you'd understand." Liz nods, "Well did you have fun?" He sighs, "I learned a lot about myself. I guess you could say it's an experience I will never forget." She looks at him, "Well thank you for saving me." Remy shakes his head, "There just stairs Liz. The worst you would have done is twist your ankle." Liz scoffs, "I was just trying to thank you." He shakes his head, "Well don't okay. Because if I had known it was a Spaulding, I would have let you fall." She scoffs, "Oh great. Here goes another 'We hate the Spauldings' speech. It must be nice having a whole family you can blame things on." Remy nods, "You know everyone says your a changed woman. Liz the mother. But I still see Lizzie Spaulding. The spoiled Spaulding brat." Liz smiles, "You know considering what your sister is doing I'm surprised you have so much hate towards me." He is confused, "What are you talking about?" She smiles, "You didn't know? Alan Michael is going after CEO of Spaulding Enterprises. And Mel is helping him every step of the way. They may be moving into the Spaulding Mansion." This news angers Remy. Natalia is sitting with Alan. She smiles, "I know this is a lot. But it's still our wedding night. Let's celebrate with our friends and family." Alan turns to her, "I know. I'm sorry. It's just... Annie Dutton was a huge part of my past. I thought I was never going to see her again. Now she just jumps right back into Springfield. Back into my life." Natalia sighs, "From the looks of it she is back in Josh's life." Alan nods, "I can't believe he was defending her after everything she has done to him." Natalia sighs, "Alan, let's not do this. We are husband and wife. Our dream has come true." Alan smiles, "Your right. I finally married the love of my life. And no one can take that away from me. Not even Annie Dutton." Natalia takes his hand. The two get up and head over to the ballroom. Marah walks inside. She went with Jeffrey but then came back. She has missed everything that happened. Marah checks her coat. Josh approaches her, "Marah sweetheart. We need to talk Darlin." Marah stares, "Is everything okay Daddy?" Annie walks over, "Oh Marah Baby." Marah stares in shock. PART TWO: Down in the basement Rocky is walking up the steps. Kevin stops him, "Rocky! Listen to me. You wouldn't have been here with me unless that's what you truly wanted." Rocky sighs, "I know! Okay? Don't you think I know that I am crazy about you? That I can't stop thinking about you. Th the only time I feel complete is when I'm in your arms?" Kevin sighs, "Then why? Why do you deny us the happiness that we both want with each other?" Rocky looks at him, "Listen. I am trying to be a good person. Shayne was there for me when I needed him. I can't hurt him. I already made a plan with him. We are going to be joined in a few weeks. Then in a few months Marina will give birth and we will adopt her baby. I need to consider the feelings of Shayne and the baby." Kevin shakes his head, "What about you? What about us?" Rocky sighs, "No one would ever accept me being with you. Not after what you did." Kevin scoffs, "What the hell? If we don't care then why stop because of others." Rocky sighs, "It was a lot for people to accept me being with Shayne. This would be too much." Kevin grabs his arm, "Rocky please..." Rocky pulls away, "I have to find Shayne. I'm just glad we stopped before this went to far." Rocky leaves to find Shayne. Shayne and Marina get dressed in the car. Shayne is turned away from her. Marina sighs, "Shayne... Shayne why won't you look at me?" Shayne doesn't say anything. Marina scoots closer, "Shayne. You are scaring me. The whole time you wouldn't even look at me and now you aren't even talking to me." Shayne sighs, "Marina I'm sorry I..." She realizes where this is going, "No. No you didn't. No, no, no." He sighs, "This was a mistake." She cries, "No! No shut up! You wouldn't do that to me!" He looks down, "I just got mad and..." She starts hitting him, "Oh my God! You sick son of a bitch! You used me to get back at Rocky!!!" He tries to console her, "Marina please. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you." She shoves him, "Don't you touch me! You stay away from me!" Marina goes running out of the car. Remy and Liz are by the stair. Remy sighs, "Of course the Spauldings are trying to corrupt my sister." Liz laughs, "Wow I guess we Spauldings can do anything right? No one is holding a gun to her head Remy." Remy turns to her, "I will not let you people hurt her. I knew if she got with Alan Michael that she was in danger." She sighs, "Don't worry. Mel is a tough woman." He shakes his head, "I'm not going to let her end up like Tammy. I remember what you people are capable of. Even if other people deny it. Including Jonathan." Liz sighs, "Well you really have been gone haven't you? Jonathan and I aren't together. No you see we want to be but his wife Aubrey is pregnant and using it to keep him with her and away from me." Remy laughs, "Are you serious?" Liz nods, "Yep. I guess Tammy is getting her revenge." He shakes his head, "Tammy wasn't about revenge. This is karma. Karma's a bitch." She smirks, "Well so am I." He looks at her, "Don't I know it." Liz looks at her watch, "I should go congratulate my Granddad and Natalia. They are married now." Remy sighs, "Natalia's a good person. Alan is going to hurt her. I warned her about him." Liz sighs, "Well not matter how much people start out disliking each other they later find out that all along that person was the one true love of their life." Remy scoffs, "Not for everyone." He walks away. Liz sighs, "Tell me about it." Blake is sitting with Ed. She looks at him, "Of course I didn't tell Ross about Remy. How do you tell that to the love of your life?" Ed sighs, "Ross would want to know." Blake nods, "Of course he'd want to know. But no one in Springfield understood me and Remy. How can I expect him who hasn't seen Remy in years, that I was in a relationship with him. Remy who is barely older than my kids." Ed sighs, "Blake, you and Remy were very close for a long time. He made you very happy." Blake sighs, "It doesn't matter. Remy and I are over now." Ross looks at her, "Are you so sure about that?" Blake nods, "I would love to have Remy back in my life but after all the waiting I made him do.... it's to late. He would never take me back now. Besides I need to focus on Jason, Kevin, and Clarissa. Especially Kevin. There is something going on with him I can't figure out." Ed hugs her, "Blake I'm going to be here for you." Blake smiles, "I know Ed. Thank you." By the doorway Marah is staring at Josh and Annie. Annie smiles, "Oh Marah I missed you." Marah is in shock, "Why are you here?" Annie sighs, "I'm here to try and make things right." Marah backs up, "Go. Get away from me." Josh sighs, "Marah I know this is difficult." Marah turns to him, "Wait. How long did you know she was in town?" Josh looks at her, "Darlin' I'm just trying to help us all heal. Annie was a huge part of our lives at one point." Marah nods, "Until she hurt everyone." Josh nods, "And we need closure." Marah looks at Annie, "You tried to kill my mother. You ruined our lives. Everyone in Springfield hates you. Your not welcome here." Annie sighs, "I love you Marah. I know that's hard for you to understand. But in my heart, you and Shayne are still my children." Marah shakes her head, "I loved you. But that was when I was a kid. We can't go back." Annie sighs, "It took me years. Years to finally get to a point where I could come back. I know this is a lot to ask of you. But I want to atleast have a chance to talk." Marah walks away without saying a word. In the middle of the room. Natalia is standing with Alan. Alan smiles, "I just want to say thank you to all of you for being here today. I know most of you are here for the ball and don't even care. But still I want to thank you. This was an amazing day. The happiest day. You were all witness to the romantic wedding to a true love story." Natalia laughs, "Okay. Well thank you all. This was just everything I hoped it would be and more. I am glad that I got to share this day with you. I finally married the man of my dreams." Alan jokes, "Now we have to go home and celebrate our honeymoon." The party laughs and cheers. Natalia nods, "Oh I have to throw the bouquet. Ladies get ready." All of the single women are below. Natalia swings back and throws it. The bouquet goes falling into the middle. It's not clear who has it. Suddenly the women depart. The bouquet is in the hands of two women. Beth and Mel. There is a small struggle until it rips in half. Beth walks over to Phillip. Alan Michael walks over to Mel. The two couples stare each other down.

The Annual Masquerade Ball in Springfield... Natalia is in another room getting ready. Natalia smiles, "I can't believe today is the day that I finally get to marry Alan." Mel sighs, "This is difficult. Helping my friend for her wedding to... Alan Spaulding." Natalia sighs, "I know you have your issues with the Spauldings. But Alan has really and truly changed. In so many ways. He is going to make me that happiest woman in Springfield." Mel smiles, "That's really what I want for you sweetheart. Where is Dinah at?" Natalia sighs, "She might be a little late. She has a lot going on right now with her daughter." Mel nods, "At least she's coming. Too bad Olivia can't make it." Natalia nods, "It's a shame. You know Gus can't either." Mel pauses, "Oh well..." Natalia looks at her puzzled, "Your not thinking they..." Mel shakes her head, "Let's not talk about this. It's your wedding day." Natalia grins, "I'm going to be Mrs. Alan Spaulding." Alan is in another room getting his suit on. Phillip helps him with his tie. Alan smiles, "Thank you Son." Phillip sighs, "I know we've been through a lot. But I like Natalia. That's why I'm here today. For her. You aren't going to hurt her like your other wives." Alan nods, "I wouldn't Natalia is my one true love." Alan Michael walks over, "Well we're here. We are Spauldings and we may drive each other crazy but we are there for each other in times like this." Alan sighs, "I wish your brother were here." Phillip nods, "Well you can understand. A year ago he was going to marry Natalia and raise their child. Now things are different." Rafe gets up, "I'm stepping out to have a smoke. I'll be back in a minute." Alan looks as Rafe leaves, "I'm worried about him." Alan Michael nods, "His mother is marrying his Grandfather. That's gotta be a weird for him." Alan smiles, "Well today is going to be perfect. After years and years. I Alan Spaulding am finally about to marry the woman of my dreams." Reva is with Chandler at a table. Reva sighs, "So have you decided when you are leaving town?" He looks at her, "I'm not sure. I mean before it wasn't a big deal. I just was going to wait for the real Annie Dutton to return. Now she did. But it feels like something is holding me hear." Reva smiles, "This town will do that to you." Chandler grins, "Or someone in this town." Josh walks over, "May I sit with you?" Reva nods, "Sure Joshua. No date?" Josh sighs, "I do have one. She'll be arriving shortly." Suddenly Jeffrey and Marah walk over. Jeffrey looks at Reva, "I need to speak with you." Reva nods, "Is everything okay?" Jeffrey sighs, "It's about your sister." Reva sits up, "Roxie?" He shakes his head, "No." Reva nods, "Cassie? What has she done now?" Marah sighs, "She's in the hospital Mom." Jeffrey nods, "I wasn't supposed to talk about it. But her doctors say it's become worse." Reva is confused, "What has?" Jeffrey sighs, "Her cancer Reva." The whole table is silent. Harley is sitting with Susan. Susan looks at her mother, "I don't feel right being here." Harley turns to her, "Why not?" Susan sighs, "Everyone is here. And after what happened last year." Harley scoots, "No. You can't talk about that ever again." Dinah approaches the table, "Hello Harley. Susan I heard you were back in town." Harley sighs, "Dinah I don't want to have any trouble tonight." Dinah nods, "Me either. Today is my friends wedding. It's nice to see your boyfriend didn't attend. Did you break up after what happened?" Harley sighs, "I don't see your husband either." Dinah stares, "In case you forgot it's the anniversary of the night that someone murdered his sister." Susan gets up and walks away. Harley sighs, "I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that." Blake walks over, "Harley." Harley jumps up, "Blake! You're back." Dinah looks at Blake, "Oh Blake. Where have you been?" Blake is somewhat speechless. Shayne walks Marina to a table. Marina looks around, "Where did Rocky go?" Shayne sighs, "We had another argument." Marina sighs,"Shayne this has to stop. Okay. I understand that you are hesitant about Rocky becoming a cop. But you need to let go. Rocky is a grown man who has decisions to make on his own. You aren't his boss." Shayne nods, "I know that! But I can't just let him make these mistakes. I can't do that." Marina looks at him, "Okay you know how I feel about you. So you know how hard this is for me to say. But you need to work on your relationship. You keep pushing Rocky away more and more. One day you are going to push him and he won't come back. Shayne just look for him. Before you screw up everyone's lives. Including this baby." Shayne gets up, "Maybe your right." Rocky is upset about everything going on with Shayne. He walks down to the basement. He sits on the steps and talks to himself, "Why? Why do I have to sacrifice everything I want for someone who treats me like crap? Does love have to be so..." Kevin walks behind him, "So what?" Rocky is startled, "What are you doing here?" Kevin walks towards him, "I saw you run down here. I didn't want to but for some reason I had to check on you." Rocky wipes his tears, "Well I'm good so you can go." Kevin sighs, "Is that true? Are you giving up your dreams for Shayne?" Rocky sighs, "I just have some things I want to do. But Shayne doesn't want me to have those dreams so..." Kevin nods, "Like becoming a cop." Rocky looks at him, "Exactly. Okay. I'm frustrated with the whole cop thing. But maybe he's right. No one really wants me to be a cop. No one will accept it. No matter how much I want it I need to deny myself the..." Kevin looks at him, "Pleasure? You sure we're talking about being a cop?" Rocky sighs, "Please don't do this." Kevin sighs, "Why is it that every time we are in a room together the heat goes up? That we both break into a sweat?" Rocky sighs, "I don't care. You think this is easy? To deny how much passion we have? It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do but I'm doing it." Kevin stares at him, "Why? For you or someone else? What do you want Rocky?" Rocky puts his hand on Kevin's face. Michelle is sitting with Bill. She smiles, "So are Billy and Vanessa celebrating their anniversary?" Bill nods, "Yeah. Dylan, Mindy, Dinah, Maureen, and I all pitched in to send them on a mini vacation." Michelle smiles, "Wow that's so cool. They've been together off and on for years. It must be amazing to have a love story like that." Bill looks at her, "Well you have a good one." She sighs, "Yeah. Danny and I had an amazing love story. I can't believe it's been 3 months since Danny died. I can't say I've gotten over his death. But it gets easier. Everyday. And my children just make such a difference. Also knowing that Marina is carrying Danny's child just, gives me so much happiness." He puts his arm around her, "You have got to be the strongest woman I know." Michelle shakes her head, "I don't think so." He nods, "You are! You are just so amazing. You have two kids that you take care of. And you still help me out with Emma and Harlan." Michelle grins, "You're a great father. Those kids are lucky to have you." Bill nods, "I'm glad they have you too." The two smile at each other. PART TWO: Jeffrey is explaining to everyone, "Cassie has had a brain tumor for some time now. She kept it a secret and it progressed." Josh looks at him, "Why didn't she try to get it removed?" Jeffrey sighs, "The tumor was causing her visions of Tammy. She didn't want to lose them." Reva has tears in her eyes, "But you said she's in the hospital? Why?" Jeffrey nods, "She finally agreed to have the surgery. But there were complications." Josh is confused, "Complications?" Jeffrey continues, "At one moment... they lost her." Reva gasps, "Oh my God!" Jeffrey sighs, "They were able to revive her but... she has some serious damage. She's fallen into a coma. They are going to wait a few days before..." Josh looks at him, "Before what?" Jeffrey looks at them, "They will go over the options." Marah looks at her family, "We need to keep it quiet for now. The Spauldings might use this against her." The family is worried for the estranged member. Harley hugs Blake, "How have you been? Where have you been?" Blake sighs, "I'm good I just had something that I had to do." Dinah scoffs, "Well Clarissa missed you and so did your Sons. What was more important than your children Blake?" Blake turns to her, "Dinah. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" Dinah smiles, "Clearly no one has filled you in on what's been going on. I have to go get my dress on for the wedding. Excuse me." Blake is confused, "The Wedding?" Harley nods, "Alan and Natalia." Blake nods, "Oh wow. Well I hope he's good to her. She's a sweetheart." Harley looks around, "I'll be back I have to look for Susan." Blake is confused, "Susan?" Harley is gone Ed bumps into her, "Oh hey Blake. How are you?" Blake smiles, "Oh hey Ed. I just got back in town." Ed nods, "Oh where did you go?" She sighs, "Just doing stuff for work." Ed nods, "Oh. That's nice." He starts to walk away. She walks behind him, "Where did you think I was going? To see Ross?" Ed turns to her, "What are you talking about?" Blake sighs, "Don't play dumb with me Ed. That's where I really was. And you much like Phillip and Rick, new Ross was alive all along." Ed and Blake stare at each other for a moment. Jonathan, Aubrey, and Liz walk in. Aubrey goes to put up her coat. Liz turns to Jonathan, "Listen. We need to talk." Jonathan nods, "Okay sure. Let's go..." Aubrey walks over, "Oh I'm getting dizzy." Jonathan turns to her, "Are you okay?" Aubrey sighs, "Could you just help me sit down?" Jonathan walks her to a table. He looks to the waiter, "Could you get us some water my wife is pregnant." Liz stares. She now sees them as a husband and his pregnant wife. Can she really break them up? Is this her karma for what she did to Tammy? Liz walks away. Liz walks down the hall, "I don't know what I was thinking. Even if he leaves her, Tammy will always be the love of his life. Maybe some people just aren't meant to have a true love?" Liz goes to the steps. Her heal breaks and she falls. Before she hits the stairs a gentleman catches her. She looks up, "Thank you... Remy?" Remy sighs, "Hey Liz. Haven't seen you in a while." Liz nods, "Yeah welcome back to Springfield." Michelle smiles at Bill, "I love playing with your children. I mean Emma is growing up so fast. And your baby boy. He is just as cute as his Daddy." Bill nods, "Your kids are great too. I mean Robbie is a funny little man. And of course Hope is growing up to be almost exactly like her mother." She sighs, "She is a lot like me. She has already had a parent pass away." Bill nods, "And now my Son is going to be like me and grow up with one of his parents out of the picture." She turns to him, "I know this is going to sound strange. But does it ever seem odd how our lives have both sort of.... I don't know went through simaler ups and downs leading us here?" He nods, "Oh you mean like how my wife and your husband were doing a business deal we knew nothing about but were brought together on after your husband died and my wife went into a coma." She nods, "And we were each left with a couple of kids. And doing the one thing we swore we'd never do. End up like our parents." Bill smiles, "But our parents don't have what we have." Michelle looks into Bill's eyes. The two kiss. Rocky looks into Kevin's eyes, "I know how I feel. You know how I feel. But..." Kevin nods, "Shayne doesn't know or care." Rocky shakes his head, "You don't even know him." Kevin sighs, "I know you. You didn't plan this Rocky. Neither did I. But it is happening. It's fate. Rocky backs up, "No! No." Kevin looks into his eyes, "Ask yourself. If you think it's good for anyone if you stay in a loveless relationship with Shayne. When every bit of your heart is screaming my name?" Rocky sighs, "I don't want to fight this anymore." The two start kissing. Kevin takes a deep breathe, "This feels right." Rocky smiles, "I know." The two are making out against the back wall. Shayne sees the basement door is open. He steps in to see if Rocky is there. He takes one step and goes into complete shock. It's dark. But he sees his fiance Rocky kissing another man. Then he sees. Kevin Marler, the man who attacked Rocky. Shayne's body fills with rage. He steps back out before they notice him. He stumbles back. Shayne runs out of the building. He is out by his car. He punches the door. Still in complete shock he remains speechless. Marina runs over, "Shayne. Shayne what's going on?" Shayne turns to her. In all of his passion he pulls her into a kiss. The wedding has begun. Natalia and Alan are standing together. Mel and Dinah are behind Natalia. Phillip and Alan Michael are behind their father. Rafe holds his baby brother on the side. Natalia starts her vows, "Alan. When I came to this town I was looking for a part of my past I never thought I'd see again. And then I met this big billionaire. Who was so intimidating. I had this whole plan for my life and you weren't in it. You had this dark side that scared me. But through God we got through our obstacles. Now it's our wedding day. And after this we will spend eternity as one. Now I am going to be your wife. Forever. You are the love of my life Alan. Now and Forever." Alan wipes a tear, "Natalia. I want to say I've had weddings before. But nothing like this. I have never had anything like this. Our relationship has changed me. I didn't want to change. Which is why I resisted you. But now I can hardly remember who I was before you. Now I feel truely happy. And complete. Who would have thought I'd have Great Grandchildren before I'd meet the woman I was meant to be with. I am done being Evil Alan Spaulding. Just like the angels in heaven. You are an angel on earth who is looking out for me. Thank you Natalia for freeing me and making me happier than I have ever been. I finally feel like I can have true happiness. A curse is broken today. You are the love of my life Natalia. Now and Forever." Father Ray talks, "Do you Natalia Rivera take Alan Spaulding to be your wife til death do you part?" Natalia nods, "I do." Father Ray turns to Alan, "Do you take this woman to be your wife til death do you part?" Alan grins, "I do." Ray grins, "By the power vested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss." Alan grins, "I love you Natalia!" She cries, "I love you Alan!" The two kiss. Reva Shayne is leaving early. She bumps into a blonde woman in a mask. She apologizes, "Sorry I'm in a hurry." The woman stops, "Reva..." Reva turns and accidentally bumps the woman down the stairs. Josh runs over and helps her up. Her mask falls. Annie Dutton stands before them. Everyone is in shock. Blake and Harley gasp. Phillip stares in shock. Dinah turns as well. Alan can't believe his eyes. Reva has a sense of deja vu. Annie Dutton has made her entrance. PREVIEWS: Annie Dutton shocks all! Shayne makes a mistake Rocky makes a decision Blake confides in Ed Remy and Liz have a chat Alan and Natalia enjoy their evening

A day of decisions in Springfield.... Private Hearing: Cyrus shouts, "You can't use me as an excuse not to give Harley the child. Because I'm the biological father. Belinda is my daughter with Dinah!" Everyone is in shock. Harley stares, "Cyrus what are you talking about?" Mallet shakes his head, "These stunts aren't going to work Foley. We can DNA test." Cyrus nods, "Do it. That will prove that I am not lying. I'm not am I Didi?" The judge is confused, "Who's Didi?" Cyrus looks at Dinah, "That's the name I knew her as. Dinah and I were thieves and con artist. Then she got pregnant. But she told me the baby died. And then before I knew it her Mom came and helped her put me behind bars. She turned on me. Right Dinah?" Mallet nods, "And now your getting revenge by making up this lie. This horrible lie right?" Dinah sighs, "It's true. Cyrus is the man who got me pregnant." Harley stares, "Belinda told me she felt a bond with Cyrus." Cyrus nods, "I felt it too. But I had no idea that she was..." Mallet turns to Dinah, "You knew that Foley was the father and you didn't tell me that?" Dinah gets up and leaves. Harley walks over to Cyrus. She slaps him across the face. Beacon: Olivia opens Gus's door. He sits up, "What happened to knocking?" She sighs, "I own this place I can do what I want. Your high aren't you?" Gus scoffs, "Go away Olivia." Olivia looks at him, "Where did you get the pills this time?" He sighs, "Some guy on the first floor. He has a back injury. He gave me some good stuff." Olivia sees the bottle, "Well at least whatever was left is gone. Don't you think this is sad? That you bought pills from some guy in the hallway just to get high?" Gus laughs, "It was actually in the lobby!" Olivia kicks him, "You are pathetic." He nods, "Your right. I am pathetic. Look at me. I'm on the ground in some crappy hotel. While my ex wife and her criminal boyfriend fight for custody of our daughter. I'm just a mess." Olivia sighs, "That's not completely true." He looks at her, "That I'm a mess?" She shakes her head, "No. This isn't a crappy hotel." Gus laughs, "That's a good one." She sits on the floor next to him, "Gus I am trying to help you. But I can't help you unless you help yourself." Gus grabs her, "Thank Olivia." He kisses her. Cross Creek: Josh is with Annie, "So what your telling me is that Reva's known for months about all of this and didn't tell me." She sighs, "I guess not. I mean I assumed you knew. Reva told me that she had put it all together." Josh nods, "Her and her new boyfriend Dr. Tyler." Annie nods, "I did hear that you guys broke up again." Josh turns to her, "That must make you really happy Annie." She shakes her head, "I can't say I'm devastated that you guys broke up but I am not here to hurt you two. I am trying to apologize for the things I've done Josh." He looks at her, "I'm confused. Are you supposed to be in jail or something like that?" She sighs, "Well technically the records show that I've paid for my crimes because of the impostor so I will be a free woman unless someone files a police report." Josh nods, "And you are asking me to keep you free." She shakes her head, "No Josh. I can't ask you to do that. If that will make you feel better than do it. All I ask is that you consider possibly giving me a second chance." Josh sighs, "A second chance at what Annie? As the mother of my children? Or as my wife?" Annie sighs, "As a person? Josh I just want to get some sort of a life. Something where I'm not hiding and alone." Josh looks at her, "How can I know that you are for real right now?" Annie takes the phone and hands it to him, "You know the police station. Call them. Turn me in." Josh takes the phone and holds it. Cedars: Cassandra is in surgery. She is put to sleep. A part of her can tell what's going on. They are opening her head. She hears a voice. "Mom.... Mom." An out of body experience. Cassandra sighs, "Tammy?" Tammy's Angel appears, "Mom. How are you?" Cassandra cries, "Oh Baby. I'm sorry. This was a mistake wasn't it? I wasn't supposed to do this." Tammy sighs, "Mom. Your saving your life. What's wrong with that? Your going to be able to be there for RJ and Will. You can help Jonathan and Sarah. You can be the old you." Cassandra is confused, "I don't understand. Why? Why are you changing your mind? Last time we talked you said that you didn't want me to have the surgery. That you wanted me to focus on revenge." Tammy shakes her head, "Does that sound like something I'd say? Mom you need to realize that it's not me. The girl you were talking to was not the real me. I wouldn't do that." Cassandra cries, "I know! I just wanted to be close to you. I guess I created her as a way to be with you and..." Tammy nods, "Punish yourself." Cassandra nods, "I will never forgive myself for letting you go. And never will I ever forgive the Spauldings and Guillespie for taking you away from me." Tammy sighs, "Can't you try for me? Mom I always believed in forgiveness. That's why I forgave Jonathan and fell in love with him." Cassandra cries, "And now your gone!" Tammy nods, "I died the way that every mother would be proud to go. Protecting my husband and my daughter." Cassandra understands. Marina's House: Rocky is filling out stuff for the police training. He starts to think about Kevin. Rocky knows that deep down he is falling in love with Kevin. Kevin has such passion and love. He can't stop himself from falling in love. A picture of Shayne catches his eye. Shayne. Shayne has brought him so much. They went through everything together. Shayne was his first love. And now he has made so many plans with him. Their ceremony is coming up. And the baby they want to adopt is on it's way. How can he hurt Shayne? Shayne has sacrificed so much. They came out together. The two of them share a bond that can never be broken. Rocky knows what he has to do. He has to put aside all of his feelings that he has for Kevin in order to prevent hurting Shayne. Rocky for once needs to put Shayne's needs before his own. Rocky continues his work in hopes that he is making the right decisions. Springfield High: Rick Mindy Phillip and Beth are all in the gym. Rick looks at Phillip, "I can't believe you were able to get us in here." Phillip nods, "I just had to slip a little money to the janitors. School is closed and we aren't going to take anything. Beth grins, "Can you believe how long it's been since we were students here? It seems like ages ago and at the same time it feels like it was just yesterday." Mindy nods, "We've all been through so much since then. We've grown up a whole lot." Rick smiles, "We've started our careers." Phillip nods, "Had children." Beth grins, "Got married. Numerous times." Mindy adds, "And sometimes to each other!" Phillip looks around, "How many other groups of friends actually stay friends after decades of moving and growing. Most people just end up moving on and never speak again." Beth nods, "I think we need to realize how amazing it is that we are all still friends.' Mindy smiles, "After all these years you guys are the best friends I've ever had." Phillip nods, "It's been great. A whole year that all of us have been in Springfield together again. But now it's coming to an end again while Melinda Sue continues her dreams to New York." Mindy hugs him, "I'm going to miss you the most." Phillip raises his drink, "After all these years." Beth raises, "Nothing has changed." Rick raises, "We're still best friends." Mindy raises her drink, "The Four Musketeers!" PART TWO: Beacon: Olivia pulls away from the kiss, "Gus...." Gus grins, "Come on! You know you wanted this for a while now. Ever since I saved your life." She nods, "I did. I really really did." He sighs, "But?" She stares at him, "Not like this. Not after you've been popping pills and your angry at your ex wife." Gus nods, "I am angry. Harley has abandoned me for that criminal." Olivia gets up, "Well honestly that's Harley. She's selfish. It's always about her." Gus sits up, "No. Harley is amazing. She makes me feel like I have a life worth living." Olivia looks at him, "You do. Gus every life is worth living." Gus laughs, "What about Alan and Phillip." Olivia sighs, "Maybe not them." He sighs, "You deserve better than a Spaulding guy." She nods, "I know that." He sighs, "But I'm a Spaulding guy." She walks towards him, "But your different then Alan or Phillip. You have a big heart Gus. If you didn't then I wouldn't give a damn if you over dosed or not." Gus looks at her, "Do you really care about me?" She sits next to him, "Yes Gus. I don't know why exactly but I really do care deeply about you." He tries to kiss her, "Thank you..." She stops him, "Another time." Olivia helps Gus to bed. Marina's House: Marina is in her bedroom. She goes through her old high school yearbooks. She reads all of her signatures. She looks at Lizzie's. "Dear Marina. You are such a lucky girl. So lucky to have such a good boyfriend." Lizzie used to be so jealous of Marina and Shayne. She stops when she sees Tammy's. "Marina. You are such a good friend. I had an amazing year and I'm gonna miss you next year. I'm so glad your dating my cousin. You and Shayne are perfect for each other. I know you belong together and will get married some day. I love you." Marina has tears in her eyes. Marina goes to Shayne's. It's a page long. She remembers how much they loved each other. Life was so great with Shayne. All of her other men were different. Ben, Alan Michael, Cyrus. They all hurt her. Then Danny.... Danny died. But her relationship with Shayne was simple. But now he's with her uncle Rocky. She can't ruin that. She isn't going to make a move unless Shayne wants make it clear he is done with Rocky. Marina gets up and puts her book away. She starts to look at her dress for the masquerade ball. Cross Creek: Josh puts the phone down, "I'm not calling the police." Annie sighs, "I'm not stopping you." He sighs, "You don't have to. Annie I don't really understand what's going on. But I have been given second chances myself. And I understand what your saying. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt." She has tears in her eyes, "Thank you. Thank you Josh! I know that you must be a little hesitant. But I will not let you down. I am going to redeem myself. I promise you that." Josh nods, "I hope your right. Because you have a lot to make for. A lot of people to make up to." She nods, "I know. I'll apologize to all of them. I'm going to be making a lot of trips. I just wish I could do it all at once or something you know what I mean?" He nods, "Maybe you can." She is confused, "What?" He sighs, "A few years ago they started doing the annual masquerade ball again. It's coming up. Everyone in Springfield is going to be there. Alan Spaulding is actually getting married." Annie nods, "Of course he is. I must say it'll be difficult watching him marry someone. But I think this is a good idea. I'll be alone but I'll be able to do it." He takes her hand, "Maybe you won't be alone." Annie looks into his eyes, "Do you mean it?" He nods, "As long as you know we're going as friends." Annie smiles, "Friends. Thank you Josh." The two hug. Springfield High: Mindy decides to go around and say something about each of her friends. She starts with Phillip, "Phillip. You were one of my first boyfriends. We had the whole Spaulding/Lewis thing. Caused a lot of problems with our families. But in the end we had a strong friendship. And I am sorry for all the ways I've hurt you. I love you Phillip." He hugs her, "I love you too Mindy." She goes on, "Beth. When we were kids you were my best friend. But for some reason I was always jealous of you. It seemed like everyone wanted you and I was never enough. But I finally realized that it was your heart. You are such a giver. You are my hero Beth. And I know that all the things that I've done this past year were out of jealousy. I love you Beth. And I hope you still love me." Beth hugs her, "I do sweetheart. I do." Mindy continues, "And Rick. Rick Bauer. You know how special you are to me. I mean you are one of my biggest loves. I know we always had a strong bond that always led us to get together. And I am happy that we got to spend time together this year. And I will never forgive myself for the things I've done to you. But no matter where I go you will always have a special place in my heart Rick Bauer." Rick has tears in his eyes, "You too Mindy." Beth looks at Mindy, "Are you going to be here for the Masquerade Ball." Mindy nods, "Rusty and I are stopping by before we leave. How can we miss the masquerade ball?" Rick smiles, "We can say our official goodbyes there." The four stand up and hug. The Four Musketeers. Private Hearing: Dinah goes running outside. Mallet follows her, "Dinah! Dinah how could you keep this from me?" She cries, "I was hoping that he would go away! He never wanted anything to do with our daughter. The only reason he is doing this now is to help out his slutty girlfriend." Mallet holds her, "You kept this from me! Even after we found out about Belinda. You never told me that Cyrus Foley was the father." Dinah backs up, "Why does it matter? I told you it was some criminal bastard. Isn't that enough?" He shakes his head, "No! You didn't tell me that I knew him and that he was living in Springfield. That he was dating my ex wife, Belinda's biological mother!" Inside Harley looks at Cyrus, "What is wrong with you?! You have been keeping this secret from me?" Cyrus sighs, "I am so sorry Harley." Harley shakes her head, "I can't believe this. All along you were Belinda's biological father? You had a daughter with Dinah. Dinah Marler. You never told me any of this?" Cyrus sighs, "I thought she was dead! Until you told me everything last week. I didn't know what to think I was confused and in denial. Now it's a fact. But that doesn't change things." Harley is confused, "What does that mean?" Cyrus looks at her, "I'm just not ready to be a father." Harley is speechless. The judge stands up, "You four will have to settle this. And I suggest you get Mr. Aitoro to show up. Ms. Cooper things are getting pretty complicated. We're postponing everything." Harley walks away. Cyrus follows. Cedars: Cassandra looks at Tammy's Angel, "Sarah wasn't your biological daughter but she was your daughter none the less." Tammy nods, "I loved her so much. All I wanted was for Jonathan to save her from the Spauldings and he did." Cassandra nods, "And I am helping I have control of the Spauldings." Tammy sighs, "You've become a Spaulding. You are better than this Mom. You have to know that." Cassandra cries, "But it's not fair. I mean Alan is getting married. Lizzie has Sarah back. But you are still dead. You never got to have more children and become a teacher or get that house I bought for you. Why did this happen to you baby? Why did God let you die a slow painful death the night of your wedding? Why didn't your dreams get to come true?" Tammy sighs, "That's a lot to answer. I can't answer that all Mom. But there is a reason for everything. I promise you. My death has had negative effects but you'll see. There are so many other things in Springfield's future. Sometimes death is the sacrifice you have to make." Cassandra nods, "I understand." Tammy backs away, "You know what you have to do. I love you Mom." Cassandra nods, "I know. I know." Tammy fades away. Cassandra is back in her body. The machines go off. The doctors circle her, "We're losing her!" She whispers to herself, "Goodbye Cassandra Spaulding...." The machine flat-lines. PREVIEWS: The Masquerade Ball!!! Natalia and Alan Say I Do! Shayne finally discovers Rocky's secret! Bill and Michelle spend time together! Jeffrey informs everyone on the news on Cassandra! Blake returns to town!

Mindy has finally realized her feelings. Annie is trying to redeem herself but she was once the big villian of Springfield. She's got a long road ahead of her. Harley has a lot of stress right now. And she and Dinah are sort of frenemies. And Dinah believes that she is right for Belinda. But in the end Belinda will end up in the home she wants. I'm glad you liked the Rufus flashback. It's difficult for Josh to deal with Good and Evil Annie. One made his life hell and the other he truely loved. Well sorry about Cassandra. But everything has to end sometime. Sorta. Thanks for reading.

Reva and Cassie haven't been close in years. So Reva has no idea what she's driving. Plus Cassandra is running a billion dollar company. I'm sure this isn't her only car. If Aubrey had it her way Liz would be out and her Jonathan Sarah and the "baby" would live happily ever after in the farmhouse. I'm sorry you don't like Mindy and Rusty. But I guess you don't have to worry anymore. Vi is more crazy then you could beleive. And you won't beleive who else gets thrown into this story. Another woman! Not Ashlee. Rue has in a way become a daughter to Cassandra or even a sister. This is a strong bond that Rue has made in town. Aubrey is nuts! Now she has her eyes on Marina's baby. These two love triangles are going to rock this year. And so many twists ahead! I can't wait!!!! One day Aubrey will get what's coming to her. But also keep in mind this is Liz's karma. She was in Aubrey's place when Jonathan was with Tammy. Susan has a lot coming up. More than I could even hint to. Annie Dutton is going to change this blog forever!!!!!

Thank you oh so very much ML! That means so mcuh coming from you! In the end it is Belinda's decision who she wants to be with. Yes they grew a part!!! Not even I wanted to happen but it just did. This stuff writes itself. But I'm not saying that they will never be revisted again. These two are going down completely different paths at this moment. Cassandra has much hatred towards her sister Reva. Mindy and Rusty have been fighting this for a while and it all just happened. I hope you enjoy BW as Susan. She will be different but still the same trouble maker. You will never believe who she is hooking up with!!!! Oh yes this was a huge twist. When Annie left she was trying to kill Reva. Reva and Cassie were very very close then. My how time changes things. Thank you again. I can't tell you how much all of that means to me!

Thanks ML! Rafe is legal... barely. But I doubt that would have stopped Aubrey. Oh yes Gus has hit a low point. The Lorelei story is just starting!!! I'm glad that you like Rue. I really wanted to find something inside of her without ruining Rufus. She has more emotional stuff coming up before she leaves. I want her to take something special from her experiences in Springfield. Olivia blackmailed Harley into ditching Gus. Olivia is back to her old self. Rafe and Aubrey are in over their heads!

Plans are made in Springfield..... Beacon: Edmund is at the desk. Beth walks over, "Okay so I am paying for you to stay here while we work on thigns." Edmund sighs, "I don't know what we are going to do. If Lorelei is coming back into your life then we aren't going to be able to stop her." Beth looks at him, "I understand that in a way this is out of my hands. But I have to atleast try to control things. I have Phillip, my mother, 3 children, and a granddaughter. I am not going to lose them to Lorelei. She is sick and she will hurt them." Edmund walks to her, "Beth I will do everything I can. But you need to think. Think about what it is that brings Lorelei to you." Beth sighs, "Lorelei always comes whenever I can't handle what is going on in my life. When things are to much to deal with." He nods, "Like when I almost caused your death and was trying to kidnap you." She nods, "Yes. That was when she came. But then it wasn't until I thought Phillip was dead and I married Alan that she started to reappear. Now she is getting closer and closer to taking full control of Beth again. I can't let that happen." He sighs, "And what if she does Beth? What if Lorelei does take over again. What is going to happen? What are we to do?" Beth takes a deep breathe, "At that point I can't do much. It's going to be up to you Edmund." Edmund is worried. Bauer Home: Rick is in the kitchen. Mindy is knocking on the door. He slowly answers, "Mindy what do you want?" She sighs, "I need to talk to you. It's important." He lets her in, "If this is about us Mindy, I already told you that I am done and we are through." She nods, "I know. And you were right. I do still have feelings for Rusty. And it was wrong to lie to you and myself about those feelings. I will never forgive myself for what I've done to you." He nods, "Well that's funny. Because I don't know if I can forgive you either Mindy." Mindy sighs, "Rick, I'm leaving Springfield. I have a job offer to move the business to New York. It's a great opportunity for my business. Especially with Spring coming up." Rick looks down, "So your leaving?" She nods, "Yes. I wish we had a chance to fix things between us before I had to go." Rick walks over to her, "We will never be able to fix our relationship. It was a mistake trying to recreate what we once had." She has tears in her eyes, "I know." He takes a deep breathe, "But our friendship is still strong and will never die." Mindy smiles, "Do you mean that Rick?" He nods, "I do. We have been friends forever. And we will continue to be. All four of us." Mindy nods, "You, me, Beth, and Phillip." He smiles, "I have an idea. Let's go." Rick takes her hand and the two leave. Cross Creek: Annie Dutton is going by and stops. She walks over in shock. "Oh my God... this looks like, it is. Cross Creek. It's in Springfield now?" She can't believe her eyes. Suddenly the front door opens. Josh is on his way out. He stops. Josh is in complete shock. Annie Dutton walks towards him. Josh keeps staring, "Am I dreaming?" She shakes her head, "No Josh. I'm back." Josh walks towards her slowly. Annie smiles at him. Josh stands in front of her. He puts his hand on her face, "It's really you?" She nods, "Yes Josh. It's me. The real me." Josh backs up, "No. No no. You had surgery. You did more horrible things. You aren't...." She sighs, "Apparently you haven't heard yet. I'll explain that to you. But I need to you trust me Josh." Josh still can't believe she is standing right in front of him. Annie Dutton is back. Natalia's House: Alan and Natalia are sitting at the table. Natalia smiles, "I can't believe our wedding is next week." He nods, "Springfield's Masquerade Ball. This year it will be held at the Country Club. That's where we are going to say our vows Natalia. In front of the whole town." She smiles, "I can't believe it's really happening. After this whole year of fighting to be together. We finally get to say I do." Alan turns to her, "Do you remember the Masquerade Ball last year?" She nods, "That's when Julie Camaletti was shot and Billy and Vanessa got remarried." Alan smiles, "Anything else?" She nods, "That was the first time I confessed my true feelings to you. And it's still true to this day. I love you Alan." Alan smiles, "I love you too. Natalia you have changed me in the most amazing way." Natalia sighs, "That is something that I think we should talk about before we do this Alan." Alan is confused, "What?" She sighs, "Change. Have you really changed Alan?" He nods, "Of course I have. I just told you that." Natalia looks at him, "But now that all of this stuff is going on with the company, I need to know. Are you going to go after the company again or are you going to have a family life with me and the baby. Because Alan I honestly don't think we can have both." Alan stares into her eyes. Private Hearing: Harley is with her lawyer. Dinah and Mallet are with their's. The judge talks, "This is the private hearing of the custody of Belinda Aitoro. Between the biological mother Dinah Adele Marler Mallet. And the adoptive mother Harley Davidson Cooper. I will allow each of you to give me your final reasoning on why you should be awarded custody." Harley nods, "I guess I'll go first. I'll be honest. One year ago, I didn't plan to adopt Belinda. I was trying to adopt a little girl named Sydney who I once took care of. And somehow in the process we accidentally adopted Belinda. I had no idea what to do. I was ready to talk to the judge and get it worked out. But then I fell in love with her. She has that spunk, and charisma. I don't know but I feel like she is my daughter now. Whether she was my blood or not. I love her your honor. No matter what." Dinah's turn, "I was in Europe. I hooked up with this really bad guy. And I got pregnant. I had a little girl I named Chamberlin. Lin for short. And I knew that the life I was living wasn't fit for a child. So I made the hardest decision. I had to give her up. But now I am living my dream. I have an amazing husband. A beautiful home. A 3 month baby boy. And everything I've always wanted. Except my daughter. I wanted Lin, Belinda back. And I know in my heart that she wants to be with me." Harley mutters under her breath, "Maybe you should tell them why you were in Europe." The judge turns to Harley, "Excuse me." Dinah scoffs, "They know about that." Harley nods, "They need to be reminded. Dinah was in Europe because she was on the run. After she murdered her ex Hart while she was trying to kill his true love Cassie." Dinah nods, "Yeah on the run like your daughter is now!" Harley sighs, "And now she has brain damamge. I mean how can you trust her with any living person." Dinah is holding back all of her anger. Mallet stands up, "That's enough. Why don't we talk about the criminal that your sleeping with in your house Harley." The whole room is tense. Cyrus is standing outside the room and hears this. Cedars: Rue has a dream from her past in Pasadena. Rue wakes up in a sweat. She is reminded where she is at. The hospital does this to her a lot. Jeffrey O'Neill walks in, "Where is Cassie?" Rue sighs, "The doctors are trying to convince her to have immidiant surgery. It's gotten much worse." Jeffrey nods, "How much worse?" Rue sighs, "Well if she doesn't have the surgery she only has a couple of weeks left." Jeffrey sighs, "And if she does..." Rue nods, "Well then it could save her life. Or it could cause some brain damage and it could be fatal." Jeffrey walks into the room. Cassandra is trying to get dressed. He grabs her, "Stop! What are you doing?" She shouts, "I'm going home!" Jeffrey shakes his head, "No! You need to do this. For RJ, Will and for Tammy especially." She cries, "Tammy doesn't want me to do this!" Jeffrey sighs, "How do you know that?" Tammy's vision appears, "This is it isn't Mom? This is the room? The room they had me in? The room where I died." Cassandra screams. PART TWO: Cross Creek: Josh is inside with Annie, "So what your saying is that all of the stuff that you did as Terri DeMarco wasn't you?" Annie nods, "That's right. Josh I had no idea that Sabrina was going to pose as me and come to Springfield. I haven't been here since I..." Josh nods, "Since you kidnapped Reva and left her in a plane to die." Annie sighs, "I understand that you must be so angry at me for what I did to you and Reva. But I have had a lot of time. And I've changed Josh. I've changed in ways you wouldn't believe. Probably won't believe." Josh sighs, "I'm sorry but your right. It's hard for me to believe that you have truely changed." She takes a picture off the mantel, "Oh my God. Is this Shayne? He is all grown up. He looks just like his Daddy." Josh nods, "He is having a child." She grins, "That's amazing! Who's the lucky girl?" Josh clears his throat, "It's a guy. Shayne is adopting a baby with his love Rocky." Annie backs up, "Oh I had no idea. I am surprised. But as long as Shayne is happy then I am." Josh nods, "You mean that?" She smiles, "Yes. I know this might be hard to hear but I still love them. Shayne and Marah. Speaking of which how is Marah?" Josh takes a picture of Marah and hands it to Annie, "She moved back to town a couple of years ago. She lived in France for a while. She and Melinda Sue have their own fashion line." Annie grins, "That's incredible. I remember Marah always used to dress up her Barbies and talk about being a fashion designer. Now her dreams have come true." Josh sighs, "She's dating a guy named Jeffrey. He's a lawyer. He is closer to my age then he is to hers." Annie nods, "And you hate it don't you." He laughs, "Yes I do I...," Josh catches himself, "I'm sorry. But I can't just sit here and laugh with you about the children. About my children. Not after everything you've done." Annie nods, "I understand Josh. Maybe I should get going." Josh takes her arm, "Wait." Annie turns back and looks into Josh's eyes. Natalia's House: Alan looks at Natalia, "I understand that you must be nervous about whether or not I am going to revert back to the old Alan." Natalia sighs, "Because the old Alan scares me." Alan stands up, "The Alan who ran a billion dollar company, who lived in the big mansion, who tried to control peoples lives." Natalia nods, "Alan I just..." Alan continues, "The man who shot his own son, terrorized his daughter in laws, obessed over babies, and was responsible for the murder of the innocent Tammy Winslow." Natalia sighs, "That is something that we don't talk about a whole lot. Tammy Winslow." Alan sits back down, "Never will I ever forgive myself for that. That was the moment when I started to see who I really was and what I was capable of. And then you came in to my life shortly after that." Natalia looks at him, "It's hard to believe you were that man." Alan sighs, "It wasn't until Cassie took everything from me that I was able to let go and I started to fall in love with you." Natalia nods, "And if you can get it all back, will you? And will you still want me and our life?" Alan sighs, "Honestly. We aren't there so I don't know what will happen. But I know this. Natalia you are the love of my life. It took me years and years to find you. I had Elizabeth, Hope, Regina. I always thought one of them was it. But it was you. And now I have you and I don't want to let you go." Natalia leans over and kisses Alan. Beacon: Edmund looks at Beth, "What do you want me to do?" Beth sighs, "If Lorelei takes over me again. Then she will try and once again convince everyone she is me. And she will hurt the people that I love. It is up to you to tell them the truth." Edmund sighs, "How am I supposed to know?" Beth looks at him, "You know me. You know Lorelei. You will be able to tell. Believe me." Edmund hugs her, "I'll help you Beth I promise." Beth thanks him and leaves. Beth walks downstairs to the lobby. She is surprised when Rick and Mindy approach her. Mindy smiles, "Hey. We were getting ready to go see you at your house." Beth nods, "What for?" Rick grins, "Phillip. Where is Phillip?" Beth sighs, "Uh at the house I'm sure. What is going on?" Mindy looks at her, "I know we haven't all been getting along this year after everything that happened with Penelope. But we need to see each other. All four of us." Rick takes Beth's hand, "Come on Beth. For oldtimes sake." Beth nods, "I think a little history is just what I need right now." Mindy and Rick walk Beth out of the Beacon. Cross Creek: Annie looks at Josh, "If this is to difficult for you then I should go." Josh sighs, "I'm surprised this isn't difficult for you. Considering where we are." Annie walks past him and goes to the mantel, "Josh and Reva. Always and Forever. I must say I don't like this. But Josh I have gotten past all of that. I don't have all of that anger towards Reva before." Josh sighs, "How can I believe that you will feel the same once you see her." Annie nods, "I saw her. I actually saved her life." He is surprised, "What are you talking about? What happened?" She sighs, "I was going to the mansion to see Alan. I had to get a few things straight." Josh shakes his head, "Alan doesn't live there anymore." She nods, "I know that now. But Reva was there too. And a car was driving towards her from the house. Anyway I pushed her out of the way and saved her life." He turns, "Reva. Is she okay?" Annie nods, "She hurt her leg. But she was more caught up in seeing me again. She let it be known that I wasn't welcome in Springfield." Josh is confused, "I can't believe Reva didn't tell me." Annie sighs, "Apparently there are a lot of things she didn't tell you." Josh turns to Annie. Cedars: Rue walks into the room. Jeffrey is holding Cassandra, "Everything is okay." Cassandra cries, "I don't understand." Jeffrey is confused, "What?" She is looking ahead, "I thought you wanted me to take over Springfield but I can't if I'm dead." Rue looks up, "Who are you talking too?" Cassandra shouts, "I'm not trying to forget you! I'm trying to help you. I love you!" Jeffrey whispers in her ear, "Cassie is Tammy here right now?" She nods. Rue sighs, "Oh my God." Jeffrey sighs, "What does Tammy look like?" Cassandra sobs, "She's wearing her hospital gown. She is covered in blood. There are bruises all over her face." Jeffrey shakes his head, "That's not Tammy." Cassandra nods, "Yes it is." Jeffrey shakes her, "No! That is not Tammy. It's not Tammy." She cries, "But I see her! If that's not her then where is she?" Jeffrey takes her hand and puts it on her chest, "Tammy is in here. She is your heart. And Jonathan's heart. Tammy is in all of us. Because we all loved her." Rue sits with them, "Will you have the surgery?" Cassandra nods and hugs Rue. Private Hearing: Mallet looks at the judge, "Your honor Ms. Cooper here is living with a known crimal. Cyrus Foley. He is a theif and kidnapper and probably more. He also used to date her niece, whom he once kidnapped." Harley stands up, "Mallet you have no idea what you are talking about." Mallet sighs, "I don't see why Belinda should go with a woman who is sleeping with a man like Cyrus." Dinah looks at Mallet, "Stop. Sit down." Mallet shakes his head, "Cyrus Foley would be a horrible father to this young girl. Anyone who'd want him as their child's father shouldn't be awarded custody." Dinah shouts, "Mallet stop!" Cyrus opens the door, "I have to say something." The judge looks at him, "Who are you?" Cyrus sighs, "I'm Cyrus Foley. I'm the man they are talking about. I was outside. But I can't stay back anymore." Harley looks at him, "What are you doing?" Dinah turns, "Get out!" Cyrus sighs, "Listen you can't use me as a reason not to give Harley custody. I also have a past with Dinah." Mallet nods, "I know you were her partner while she was away." Cyrus nods, "Yes! Her partner while she was on the run in Europe. We were in love and we slept together. We concieved a child." Harley stares, "Cyrus are you saying..." Cyrus continues, "I may be a father figure. But I am also the biological father. Belinda is my daughter with Dinah!" The Judge stares at Mr. Foley. Mallet turns to Dinah. Dinah is furious. Harley stares at Cyrus in shock. PREVIEWS: Cyrus explains everything Cassandra's surgery The Four Musketeers reunite!

Sabryn is growing on me. I like her scenes with Mona. Is there a partnership growing? I really liked the Sharan and Mona scenes. They were wel written. WOW! Very hott with Remia! So sexy! You are a talented writer! I think Remy is very happy he came to Pasadena. (No pun intended). I still can't believe she named him Mark Jr. WTF??????? Suga shot the baby? Oh no! I hope he's okay! But wow! Good twist but sad! I was on the edge of my seat for that one.

I loved the meeting of Mona and DC. I'm glad it wasn't all corny. It was written very well. I kinda hope Mona lets him in. Oh that has to be hard for Alexis to do. I know I wouldnt be able to handle looking at my dead sibling. Wait! STFU! Ashley? Are you alive girl? I was actually convinced right before that!!! Madea can be kinda cruel. I'm worried for Karim. I can understand Kevin's anger but he should put his brother's real needs first. Well I must say that Natalia is pretty straight forward. OMG! Mark Jr? Crazy! A war it is!! It's On!!!!!!!! I enjoyed reading the jail scenes. Ooh! I really like the STEAMy relationship going on with Remia (Remy and Ria) WOW! Great twist! Don better be ready for these kids!

Thanks ML! Dinah has been through a lot! Roxie is a very messed up person. We will dive into that more this Spring. The Belinda twist was planned before I even started my blog. So I'm thrilled the big reveal has happened. Could it be Annie? Who knows? LOL! That's exactly what Roxie wanted!

Thank you so much for reading. I love comments!

Plans are made in Springfield.... Road: Reva wakes up at the bottom of a hill. She was pushed out of the way of a speeding car. Reva looks up to see who her hero is. She is stunned by who she sees. "Hello Reva." Reva gasp, "Annie Dutton. Your back." Annie sighs, "Wow. I really didn't expect this to be how I came back to town. Saving your life." Reva sits up, "You threw me down a hill!" Annie shakes her head, "I was saving you from getting hit by a car. Your welcome by the way." Reva stares at her, "Now what. You think because you save my life that gives you the right to take it away." Annie gets up, "You are unbelievable." Reva looks at her, "I know you Annie. You have wanted me dead for years. Now we are out in the middle of no where. No witnesses. Isn't that why you followed me here?" Annie scoffs, "Follow you? We're at the Spaulding Mansion. I was just coming to see Alan." Reva sighs, "Alan? Alan doesn't live here anymore. The Spauldings don't live in the mansion anymore." Annie looks at her, "Things really have changed." Reva tries to stand up, "Well one thing hasn't. You are a psycho bitch. And I'm not letting you hurt my family again." Reva tries to get up but her ankle is hurt. She falls back down. Annie Dutton looks down at the injured Reva Shayne. Cedars: Cassandra pulls her car in front of the building. She walks to the doors. She stops herself, "What are you doing? You are just a complete idiot coming here." Rue walks up, "You are trying to save your life." Cassandra turns, "What are you doing here?" Rue sighs, "I saw your car here. I wanted to come and check on you. You need to see your doctors." She shakes her head, "I don't even know what you are talking about? You are supposed to be at your meeting with Marah." Rue sighs, "Don't change the subject. I found the information that Jerry guy left at the house." She scoffs, "His name is Jeffrey and you have no right going through my things." Rue looks at her, "You are clearly sick and you need help. Why aren't you getting the surgery." Cassandra walks away, "I have my reasons." Rue follows her, "Listen I don't usually focus on this kind of stuff. But I had a near death experience not to long ago. I know that you must be scared and maybe worried." Cassandra turns to her, "I'm not afraid of anything. I'm not having the surgery and you can't stop me." Rue nods, "Fine! Maybe we should go see Jeffrey." Cassandra is angry, "What for?" Rue sighs, "We should go over your will." Farmhouse: Jonathan is cooking in the kitchen. Aubrey walks over, "I would have thought that they would be here by now." Jonathan nods, "Well Shayne said they might be a little late." Aubrey smiles, "I think this will be nice having family over for brunch. Our family." Jonathan sighs, "I'm not much of a brunch person." Aubrey hugs him, "Well we are going to have nice day just you, and me, and....." Liz walks downstairs, "I think I see there car coming. This is going to be a good day." Aubrey sighs, "It's nice that you could join us Lizzie." Liz smiles, "Well it is my house Aubrey." A knock on the door. Liz and Aubrey both walk to the door. They both reach for the door. But Jonathan steps in between and opens it. Shayne smiles, "Hey guys." Marina is on one side of him and Rocky on the other. Marina smiles, "Thanks for having us over." The two sets of triangles look at each other. Everyone walks in. Aubrey hugs Shayne, "Oh it's so great to see you again." Shayne grins, "You too Aubrey you look great." Rocky looks around, "You have a lovely home." Liz and Aubrey, "Thank you." Jonathan takes there coats, "Well why don't you guys sit down. And we can start catching up?" Liz looks at everyone, "I think this is going to be a good day." Things are a little tense. Beacon: Mindy wakes up in bed. Rusty is at the desk. She gets up and walks over to him, "What are you doing?" He sighs, "Uh, I was moving your stuff and your purse fell. Some of your stuff fell out. Including this." He sits plane tickets on the desk. She sighs, "Those. Those are..." He nods, "Those are one way tickets to New York. It looks like you are leaving in a few weeks." She looks at him, "I uh, bought those a while ago. After Rick and I broke up. I was planning to move there and work from there." He turns to her, "Then what was this? Were you just trying to get a few things done before you left?" She shakes her head, "No! Weren't you listening? I'm not going anywhere. I changed my mind. I realized that I wanted to stay here for you! With you! That's why I was with you." Rusty shakes his head, "Mindy you were ready to move. I mean this is what you've always wanted was to have your dream of living in the big city and working on your fashion." Mindy sighs, "I know that. But I also have a dream of having a relationship. You are the man of my dreams. And I am not going to put my career before my heart anymore." Rusty looks at her, "And I'm not letting me put my selfishness before a woman's wellbeing again." The two stare into each other's eyes. Motel: Harley hugs Susan, "Oh my God! My Baby girl! Your here. Your really home." Susan sighs, "Yeah. You look great Harley. And you have a good guy here." Cyrus smiles, "I'm glad you two are together again." Harley sits her down, "Tell me what's going on. Where is that man?" Susan sighs, "He has a name Mom." Harley sighs, "Where is Guillespie?" Susan looks down, "He is gone." Harley scoffs, "Of course. I knew he was no good. Let me guess you guys ran out of money and he went running and leaving you all by yourself to take the fall for everything." Cyrus sits with them, "No. Harley, my brother realized what he had done to Susan. What he had done to everyone. He wanted to find a way to fix it." Harley shakes her head, "There are some things no one can fix." Susan has tears in her eyes, "He took the fall Harley for everything. He said that I was just a hostage." Harley is confused, "What?" Cyrus sighs, "He confessed to not only his crimes but to the murder of Julie Camaletti. The woman that Susan killed." Harley shakes her head, "I don't get it. So he confessed to killing Julie. And he confessed to killing Tammy?" Susan nods, "He took the fall for all of it." Harley shakes her head, "No. Why didn't I hear about this? Why didn't Springfield hear about this?" Cyrus sighs, "I pulled a few strings to keep things private. In a couple of days Cassie and Mallet will be notified about it." Harley turns to him, "So where is Guillespie now?" Susan cries, "A mental institution." Springfield High: Vi walks down the hallway. Maureen is next to her, "So I guess our new English teacher starts today." Vi nods, "I just hope he's better than Ms. Green." Maureen sighs, "I can't believe she was arrested for drug possesion. I heard a student turned her in." Vi nods, "Well you know those are just rumors. But she was a bad teacher anyway. She tried to fail me. Besides I have a good feeling about our new teacher." They walk into the classroom. A young blonde girl walks over, "Have you guys seen our new teacher? He is so hot!" Vi laughs, "I'll be the judge of that." Coop walks to the front of the class, "Hello. I'm Mr. Bradshaw. Some of you may know me. My family owns the diner Company. I'm going to be your new English teacher. I used to teach at a juvinile detention facility so I'm to worried about you guys." Vi whispers to herself, "He is hot." Coop looks at the seating chart, "So in the first row we have Denard Anderson, Danielle Bonn, Brooke Baker, Leah Carter, and Rachel Fisher. In the next row is Vi Grant-" Vi walks over, "Hello Mr. Bradshaw. Welcome to Springfield High." Coop shakes her hand, "Thank you Vi. I think I'm going to like it here." She nods, "I think so too." Vi can't stop staring at him. PART TWO: Cedars: Cassandra looks at Rue, "Why do I need to go over my will?" Rue sighs, "Well I have been working hard to take down the Lewises and I'm going to get paid whether you are here or not." Cassandra scoffs, "I should have known. You are nothing but a money hungry skank." Rue nods, "Aren't we all? I mean after your gone maybe I'll hang around Springfield. That Jeffrey is hot. I know he's with Marah. But I have a feeling he needs a real woman." Cassandra gets angry, "You stay the hell away from Jeffrey!" Rue looks at her, "I knew it! You want him don't you? You don't want that Edmund guy. You have feelings for Jeffrey?" Cassandra shakes her head, "I don't need anyone! I am doing fine on my own. I am running this town. I don't need anyone holding me back. Besides Jeffrey doesn't like the new me." Rue walks towards her, "This surgery could save you! It could change your life. All of this anger and visions could be gone." She shouts, "I don't want it gone! I want to stay this way! This is who I am now!" Rue sighs, "Why? Why do need to stay this way? Like some villian?" She cries, "I can't let the Spauldings win! I can't! They killed her! Like she was just some animal. They killed my Tammy! My baby! What kind of mother just moves on and forgets it." Rue has tears in her eyes, "From what I hear you were a pretty good mother. You did everything. You did whatever you had to in order to protect Tammy. What happened to her wasn't your fault." Cassandra sobs, "It was my job to protect her." Rue holds her hands, "Let's just go inside and make an appointment for surgery. Next week. We don't have to do anything now. But you need to try and stop yourself from dying. Please?" Cassandra nods. Rue walks her inside. Farmhouse: Everyone is eating. Shayne looks around, "Who made the meal? Did you Lizzie?" Marina laughs, "I can just imagine a Spaulding cooking. Like they would ever lower themselves to that." Liz scoffs, "Marina you are a guest in my house." Marina nods, "I knew this was a bad idea coming here?" Liz shakes her head, "You know what it doesn't matter. No matter what I do I will always be a Spaulding." Marina looks at her, "Well I'm sorry. But everytime I look at you sitting next to Jonathan it make me sick. Tammy must be rolling over in her grave." Rocky turns to her, "That is enough!" Jonathan walks out of the room. Aubrey tries to get up but Liz follows Jonathan. Shayne sighs, "I think we should get going. I'll start the car." Rocky stands, "I'll get our coats." Marina and Aubrey are left at the table. Marina sighs, "I'm so sorry. These hormones get the best of me. It's just, Lizzie is partly to blame for what happened to Tammy. And her living with Jonatahn just..." Aubrey nods, "It's messed up. Believe me I know. I hate it. But Jonathan and I are trying to make our marriage work. Liz is just a... bitch." Marina laughs, "I know exactly what you mean. I remember we used to call her... Oh!" Aubrey looks at her, "What?" Marina smiles, "The baby is kicking. Feel it." Marina takes Aubrey's hand and puts it on her stomach. Aubrey smiles, "I can feel it." Marina grins, "It's amazing isn't it. A little baby growing inside of you." Aubrey stares at Marina's tummy, "That's right a little baby. A baby the same age as my is going to be. Wow. I never thought about that." Aubrey can't stop staring at Marina's stomach and picturing the little baby. Aubrey rubs her fake pregnancy belly, "My Baby." Springfield High: Coop hands out a syllabus, "This semester is going to be a little different then the orginal plan. The curriculum is the same of course. But I am going to try and make it a more fun experience. I'm sorry about what happened with your other teacher. But I will make the transition as easy as possible for all of you. Any questions?" Vi raises her hand. "Can we learn a little more about you? I mean since you are our new teacher." Coop nods, "Well sure. My name is Henry but my friends call me Coop. You will all call me Mr. Bradshaw while at school. As I said before I taught at juvie. I was born in Springfield. But I grew up with my relatives in Europe. I went to school there. I learned a lot." Vi smiles, "That must have been great studying in Europe." Coop nods, "It was. Any other questions?" Vi is the only one raising her hand again, "Are you married?" Coop laughs, "No. I'm not married." Maureen raises her hand, "What novels will we be reading this semester?" Vi rolls her eyes. Coop stands up, "That is a good questiong Ms. Reardon. I have a list I will be handing out later. It has all of our books on there. We'll go over that one tomorrow." The bell rings. Coop smiles, "Okay well thanks everyone. I'll see you guys tomorrow." Vi stands up, "By Mr. Bradshaw! I'll see you tomorrow." He nods, "By Ms. Grant." Coop finds Vi odd but doesn't think much of it. Vi thinks about him the rest of the day. Beacon: Mindy looks at Rusty, "I don't get what you are telling me?" He sighs, "You want this! You want to go to New York. I'm not going to the thing holding you back." She shakes her head, "You aren't a thing! You are so much more. You are the man of my dreams Rusty. I want to be with you. Don't you want to be with me too?" He nods, "Oh you know I want to be with you. But not like this. Not me making you choose between us and your dreams." She sighs, "That's not what this is. I would love to work in New York sure. But Springfield is my home." Rusty shakes his head, "That's not why you are staying. You are staying because you think that if you leave we won't be able to be together and we'll never see each other again." She cries, "Because it's true! Rusty I am falling head over heals for you again and I am not going to blow it." Rusty takes her hands, "What do you suppose we do?" She looks at him, "Okay. I'm going to propose an option. But you don't have to agree." Rusty nods, "Let me hear it." She smiles, "Come with me! To New York! You can go back to being a detective. I'm sure there is a lot to do in New York.... No. What am I saying? Oh God! Your family is here. Everything you love is in Springfield." He holds her, "Not if you go. I think that in Springfield we seem to have a lot of problems. Maybe New York will be different." She smiles, "Does this mean..." He smiles, "Let's do it! Let's go to New York!" She jumps into his arms. The two kiss. Motel: Harley sighs, "Well I don't know what to say. Guillespie did all of this for you." Susan nods, "Yes. Now he is paying for what we did." Harley nods, "Well I am just glad that you are here. Your back!" The two hug. Cyrus sits with them, "We can take Susan home now. But she has to stay put. Tomorrow we will take her down the police station and explain everything. We need to be careful." Harley nods, "Your right. Okay. So your coming home with us Susan?" She nods, "Yes. I will. Is my old room still available?" Harley grins, "Of course it is baby! Oh I love you!" Cyrus looks at his watch, "You should get going first. We'll follow behind. We need to lay low." Harley gets up, " Okay okay. I'm just so glad to have both of you back. I'll go home and I'll see you there." She gives Susan one last big hug before she goes. After she leaves Cyrus walks over to Susan, "Let me see your arm." She rolls up her sleeve. Her arm is cut up. He sighs, "When the hell did you do that?" She looks down, "I don't remember. Probably last night. I don't remember why." He shouts, "Damn it! I thought you were clean?" She sighs, "I found more in my bags. I couldn't stop myself." He grabs her, "You promised me you'd kick all of this crap before I brought you to your mother." She cries, "I tried! But I can't! It's not that easy. G and I got really into some messed up stuff." Cyrus nods, "Oh boy don't I know it! But let me tell you one thing. We are going to stop this. Because I'll be damned if Harley and I wake up to find you dead on the floor after overdosing. She's got one druggie in her life. She doesn't need to know there is another." Susan nods. Cyrus walks her out of the room. Road: Annie sits by Reva, "I could have left you for dead. But I didn't. Reva believe it or not I didn't come back here for you." Reva turns to her, "Then why did you come back?" She shouts, "Because I need redemtion! I need redemtion. You know a thing or two about that." Reva shakes her head, "No Annie. There is no redemtion for the things you've done." Annie sighs, "Enough time has past. I've changed. And clearly so has Springfield. I guess for some reason. I expected things to remain the same since I was gone." Reva shakes her head, "Well they haven't. Everything is different in Springfield. Some good some bad. Here's one you'll like. Josh and I are over." She sighs, "Well I'm not surprised. You two will be back together soon." Reva shakes her head, "No. It's for good this time." Annie laughs, "We'll pretend like that's true. What'd you do this time?" She sighs, "Josh married Cassie while I was dying of breast cancer." Annie stares, "You have breast cancer?" Reva sighs, "Had." Annie turns, "Wow. Josh and Cassie? I mean I didn't see that coming. That doesn't sound like Cassie." Reva sighs, "She isn't Cassie anymore. You want to see here then go to her new place. The mansion." Annie turns and stares at the mansion. Reva finally gets up. Annie stares at her, "You need a ride to the hospital." Reva shakes her head, "I am not going anywhere with you. I'm going home. I suggest you leave town. You're not welcome here." Reva walks away. Annie walks up the hill. She walks to the gates of the Spaulding Mansion. She turns and looks down the hill at Springfield. She smiles, "Welcome home Annie Dutton." PREVIEWS: Annie sees Josh! The custody hearing Mindy goes to the Bauer's Cassandra makes a decision Beth has a request for Edmund Natalia and Alan plan the wedding

A day of returns in Springfield..... Malah House: Dinah is going through her paperwork. Mallet walks over, "What's going on?" She grins, "The tests are back. It's official. I am Belinda's biological mother." He smiles, "That's great. Now we can be 100% sure we've found your real daughter." Dinah nods, "And of course now the courts are going to have to side with me when they see this." Mallet stares, "Oh so you are still planning to take it that far?" She turns to him, "Mallet I'll take it as far as I have to. I'm not stopping until I have my daughter back." He sighs, "You need to understand. Harley loves her. In her heart Belinda is still her child." Dinah shakes her head, "You know what? This isn't fair. I am reunited with my daughter after all of these years. And Harley is the victim in all of this. Not me. Not Belinda. Harley!" He scoffs, "I'm not saying that. I am so sorry for what happened to you two. But Harley didn't do it. She had no idea that Belinda was your biological daughter. No one did." Dinah sighs, "Well now we know that she is. And I will die before I lose my baby again." Mallet has a strange feeling about all of this. Motel: Harley walks into the room. Cyrus is there, "Your here." She sighs, "Where have you been? I've been calling you! Then out of no where you tell me to meet you here! What the hell is going on Cyrus?" He sighs, "Harley this is important." She nods, "I know it is! It's about my daughter." He is surprised, "What? You mean...." She nods, "Belinda! Her biological mother is trying to take her away from me and I'm not going to let it happen." Cyrus stands up, "Are you kidding me? She can't do that. She gave her up. Belidna is yours now." Harley sighs, "Well she is going to try. And she always fights dirty when she gets angry." Cyrus is confused, "Who are we talking about?" She sighs, "Oh I didn't tell you the best part. Belinda's biological mother. It's Dinah. Dinah Marler." Cyrus sits down, "I don't.... I don't understand, your saying..." Harley sighs, "Dinah had her years ago but gave her away. I don't know all the details but Dinah is going after custody now." Cyrus is still in shock, "I'm uh, I'm going to help you." She turnst him, "Well I hope you mean it. Because now I need you now more than ever." Cyrus and Harley look into each other's eyes. Company: Coop is getting dressed. Ashlee wakes up, "Are you leaving?" He nods, "Yes. I sort of have a job to go to. But don't tell anyone okay? It's the first day and I just don't want to make a big deal out of it. It's only temporary." She sighs, "Coop your family still thinks you are writing novels and stuff. Are you ever going to tell them you gave that up?" He sighs, "They wouldn't understand. They would think I was giving up on something I loved." She sits up, "I know it's not that. It's not like you don't love writing anymore. But your heart isn't in it. It's time to move on in life." He nods, "I just wish people could understand that just because people move on doesn't mean that things are bad." Ashlee looks at him, "Are we talking about careers still?" He sighs, "I think we both know what we're talking about." She gets up, "We can't keep this a secret for too long." He nods, "I know that." She walks over to him, "I mean it's only a matter of time. One day your Dad will walk in and see me sleeping in bed and you on the couch. He already noticed my ring was gone." Coop turns to her, "We'll tell them soon." She sighs, "I don't know how we are supposed to tell them that instead of bringing us closer, the trip ended our relationship." Coop hugs Ashlee. Mansion: Cassandra stands at the gate. Reva is waiting on the other side, "Are you going to let me in?" She shakes her head, "No. I don't think I should let you in. Why are you here Reva?" Reva sighs, "Listen. I have to talk to you Little Sister." She rolls her eyes, "I'm right here. Start talking Reva. I'm here to listen to you." Reva scoffs, "Really? You don't want me to tell you all of this through the gates to the Spaulding Mansion." Cassandra shakes her head, "It's not the Spaulding Mansion! It's my Mansion. God it is so hard for you to accept that I am the one who's living on the big mansion on the hill and you are down in your little bungalow." Reva laughs, "Wow! You are just too great Cassie! I mean is this really what you want to do?" She turns around, "Good bye Reva." Reva shouts, "Wait! Just listen. I have to warn you Cassie. I am in danger and so are you." She sighs, "You have 1 minute." Reva looks at her, "Cassie she has come back into our lives.' Cassandra is confused, "Who?" Reva sighs, "Annie Dutton." Cassandra backs away from the gate. Beacon: Rusty is in his room. Mindy lets herself in. He turns to her, "Melinda Sue. What are you doing here?" She runs over and kisses him. He pulls away, "Wait wait. What is going on?" She sighs, "Rusty I want you. I want you so bad right now." He backs away, "This has to be a dream. I'm going to wake up any minute now and laugh." She shakes her head, "This is real Rusty. I am here. I have fought this ever since you came back to town. I want you Rusty. I never really got over you. I want you." He nods, "You keep saying that." Mindy takes his arm, "It's true. Rusty, I've wanted you all along." He backs up, "What abour Rick?" She sighs, "Rick and I are over. I know that I thought I wanted to be with him. But all along you and I both knew that we were meant for one another. We are meant to be together." Rusty shakes his head, "I can't do this. I can't. You want Rick. You chose Rick. I'm not going to be your rebound." She shakes her head, "You could never be rebound with me. Rusty you know how much I want to be with you." He walks to the door, "It's time for you to leave." He goes to open the door. She shuts it, "No! I'm not going anywhere." She pulls him back into a kiss. Motel: Cyrus looks at Harley, "Is there something you are not telling me?" Harley sighs, "Gus. He's popping pills again. He isn't fit right now. He's going to be out of the picture until he can get himself together. Otherwise he'll complicate things." He stands up, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry this is happening to you." She shoves him, "I'm still mad at you! You are supposed to be there for me when I need you!" He sighs, "Harley I had no idea. I didn't know this was going to happen to you and Belinda." She shakes her head, "No! I called you! I called and called. You never called me back. You just let me feel like an idiot." He sighs, "I'm sorry. I lost my phone. That's why I used a payphone to call you this time." She sighs, "Why didn't you use one before?" He looks down, "I had a lot going on> I couldn't call you." She walks over to him, "You still haven't told me what is going you. You said it was a job opportunity. But it is obvious now that you were lying to me then. So what is it?" Cyrus sighs, "I was trying to help you." She shakes her head, "No! If you were trying to help me then you would be helping my daughter!" He nods, "I was!" Harley stares with confusion. PART TWO: Mansion: Cassandra stares at Reva, "What are you talking about?" Reva sighs, "Chandler and I found out the truth about Annie. She is coming back to Springfield. We don't know when or why. But she is and we need to be prepared for when she does." She scoffs, "We? Who the hell is we? Oh wait you me and Josh? No, I do not think so." Reva nods, "We as in all of us. Including Blake, Harley, Phillip, Rick, and everyone else connected to her." She shakes her head, "Look at that list. I'm probably on the bottom of it. Besides what do I have to worry about. Look at me. I'm sitting pretty up here in my house." Reva sighs, "Annie Dutton is insane. There's no telling what she could be up to after all of this time." Cassandra sighs, "She wasn't insane until you ruined her life with Josh." Reva backs away, "I cannot believe that you are sticking up for Annie Dutton." Cassandra sighs, "Maybe I understand her more now. Me, Olivia, Annie. We all share something." Reva has tears in her eyes, "Your hatred for me? Well you know what I'm sorry I even came here. If you want to be in denial fine. But it's your death sentence." She gets furiuos, "Go away! Get out of my sight!" Cassandra storms into her house. Company: Coop looks at Ashlee, "I think it's just a little bit over dramatic to say that Ashlee." Ashlee sighs, "It's true Coop." He shakes his head, "Europe didn't ruin our relationship. It opened our eyes. We are going in different directions. We aren't the same to people we were two years ago when we first got together." She sighs, "Yep. We grew up." He nods, "And we're moving on." She sits on the bed, "I feel like I should be more sad about all of this. But I'm just not." Coop nods, "Well we didn't have a big blow out or fight. We just realized that it was time to end things." She sighs, "But they are going to understand that. They are going to think you cheated on me or that I'm still sick. Or that there is something that we aren't telling them." He looks at her, "We'll talk to them later. But right now let's just work on our seperate lives. Before we tell them that we are done." She stands up, "I'm so sorry that it didn't work out. I really thought you were the one." Coop has tears in his eyes, "I loved you Ashlee." She nods, "I loved you too Coop Cooper." The two kiss. Coop takes his jacket and walks out. Malah House: Mallet looks at Dinah, "I'm sorry that I upset you." She sighs, "It's fine. I know you mean well." He hands her the mail, "You should finish opening it. There's stuff from your doctors." She sighs, "Great. I'm not opening it." Mallet looks at her, "What are you talking about? You took your cognitive tests a few weeks ago. We need to see your results. What if they have improved?" She nods, "And what if they didn't. If Harley finds out she is going to use that to take me down. Say that I'm not smart enough to raise my own kid. I won't let her do that." Mallet hands her the file, "Open it. Dinah you know whatever happens. I will help you through it. I know at first this whole brain damage thing hurt us. But I think it's brought us closer together." Dinah slowly opens it. She pulls out her papers. Her mouth drops. Mallet looks at her, "Oh Babe. I'm sorry...." She shakes her head, "No. This says that I have improved... like a lot." He looks at her, "What do you mean?" She smiles, "My test scores are the highest they've ever been. I think I'm back where I was before... before that bullet went in my head." Mallet hugs her, "Oh my God! That's great! I can't believe it." She smiles, "I know! I'm back. The old Dinah is back!" The two kiss. Beacon: Rusty pulls away from the kiss, "No! No you can't do this to me again. You can't play with my feelings so you can get your anger out and then go running back to Rick." Mindy shakes her head, "That's not true! I'm not doing that." He nods, "Yes you are. You may not realize that but you are." She stares, "What is this Rusty? Why are you doing this? You say that you want me and you want to be with me but then you go and push me away like this when I am finally ready to be with you." He nods, "Exactly! You are finally ready to be with me. I was supposed to sit on the side and wait until you were done playing your games with me and with Rick. Now I get my prize." She shakes her head, "No that is not true!" Rusty nods, "Mindy! I can't do this. I can't do this again. Because I know that not matter what you and I are going to have some kind of problem. I'm not ready to get hurt." Mindy sighs, "Neither am I. But this is what I want. This is where I want to be. I am so sorry. It was selfish of me to do that to you. And now I here I am in your room, throwing myself at you and expecting you to still want me after all of that. I mean what guy could deal with that?" Rusty walks towards her, "A man in love." The two kiss again. Rusty takes Mindy into the bedroom. Motel: Harley backs up, "Cyrus what are you talking about?" Cyrus sighs, "Harley. The reason I left was because I got a phone call." She shakes her head, "From who?" He sighs, "My brother." She is in shock, "What? Guillespie called you? Why?" Cyrus takes her hand, "They were in some serious trouble." Harley gasps, "Oh God! No! Tell me Susan is okay! Where is she?" Cyrus looks at her, "Listen. They called and said they were in trouble. They went back to dealing again. They got into trouble in Austrailia and G brought her back to the states." Harley backs up, "Wait. So Susan is back in the country? Where is she? Where is my little girl?" Cyrus sighs, "The cops found them Harley. But I stopped calls from getting to Springfield." Harley shouts, "Why? Why would you do that? Why are you hiding them? Are they in jail?" Cyrus looks down, "This is way to complicated to explain." Harley cries, "Where is she? Where is my daughter?" The door opens up. She walks out, "Hi Harley." Harley stares at her daughter Susan. Mansion: Cassandra is driving away from the mansion. She thinks about what Reva said. It flashes back in her head "If you want to be in denial fine. But it's your death sentence." Cassandra shakes her head. She runs her hand along her forehead. Tammy's vision appears next to her, "Don't let them trick you Mom. Your fine. You don't need surgery. I'm with you." Cassandra drives down the road. A few yards down Reva's car is broken down. Reva is trying to see what's wrong with it. Cassandra sees her. Tammy looks at her, "Don't stop. We don't need to help her. Maybe it's time to once and for all take her down." Cassandra shakes her head, "You don't mean..." Tammy nods, "Speed up! I don't deserve to be dead while the slut of Springfield is walking around." Cassandra puts her foot on the gas. Reva turns. She can't recognize the car, "Annie! Annie! Is that you?" The car is right in front of her. Out of no where someone tackles Reva and they go rolling down the hill. Reva turns over and looks up. She is stunned by who she sees. "Hello Reva." Annie Dutton is standing over Reva Shayne. PREVIEWS: Reva and Annie come face to face!!! Rue confronts Cassandra Harley is reunited with Susan Vi has a new interest Rusty and Mindy make a big decision A brunch has huge arguments

A day of confessions in Springfield.... Old Cabin: Edmund stares at his kidnapper, "Oh my God! Beth?" Beth sighs, "Edmund... this is not what you are thinking." Edmund backs up, "You? You? Are you... Oh my God! Beth you are the one who locked me up in here?" Beth looks at him, "Edmund I know that you are going to think I'm nuts but I just need to explain." He gets up, "Save it! I am out of here! I am going to town and I am having you arrested." Beth grabs him, "Edmund. Edmund no! Please! Just let me explain this to you! Please?" Edmund shoves her, "You are a sick and twisted woman Beth! I heard that you had changed but wow!" Beth cries, "Edmund! Listen to me! I know that it looks like I'm the one who kdinapped you." He scoffs, "What? Beth you did kidnap me." She shakes her head, "No I didn't!" He turns away, "Then who the hell did?" She waits before she answers, "It was Lorelei. Lorelei was the one who kidnapped you Edmund." Edmund turns to her. The two stares at each other. Mansion: Cassandra is texting Rue. Jeffrey walks in, "Hello Cassie." She turns, "Oh God! Do you ever stop bothering people? Don't you have anything better to do?" He sits on her couch, "Well I am sitting here until you agree to listen to me Cassie." She shakes her head, "Listen I am not going to do this with you again. I'm not having the surgery. I am fine!" Jeffrey stands up, "What if your not fine? Huh? What if one day you go to sleep Cassie and you don't wake up?" She turns away, "You know what then I get to be reunited with Tammy again. I love my daughter." He sighs, "She's not your only child. What about RJ? Can you imagine Josh having to find RJ and tell him that another person he loves is dead! The only person he has left. And then Alonzo has to tell Will that he isn't coming back to Springfield because his mother is gone!" She looks at him, "Shut up! You shut up! I love RJ and Will! But RJ stays at boarding school and wants nothing to do with me. And Will, Alonzo is trying to keep him away from me now! So really I have nothing." A security guard walks in. He takes Jeffrey, "Come on sir." Jeffrey looks at Cassandra, "I'll go. But you ask yourself is all of this worth it?" Jeffrey walks out. She turns to the mirror. She asks herself, "Is this worth it?" Farmhouse: Aubrey covers her flat empty stomach. Rafe stares at her, "You are not pregnant Aubrey." She shakes her head, "Shut up! I... I need you to leave now please. Rafe just go!" Rafe sighs, "What happened? Was there ever a baby?" She cries, "There was a baby. In my heart. But I never was able to concieve one of my own." He stares, "Are you serious? All of these months and you haven't really been pregnant at all?" She sighs, "I was going to get pregnant! I kept seducing Jonathan but each time I failed to get pregnant." Rafe sighs, "How long do you plan to keep this up?" She looks down, "I... I wasn't going to have going on this long. I was going to fake a miscarriage. Then I thought Jonathan would feel guilty and stop this crap with Liz. But now I know that they are growing feelings for each other. And I can't lose this baby." Rafe takes her, "Aubrey. There is no baby. You aren't pregnant. There is no child." She cries, "But I want a baby! I want another baby! Sarah is my baby but now Jonathan wants to give her back to Liz! And I want a baby with Jonathan that I carry myself! I just want to have one." Rafe walks away, "I can't believe this. I mean I wanted to work with you. But now I can't deal with this crap. I got to get out of here." Aubrey grabs his arm, "I don't think so." He turns and looks at her. She is holding her fake baby bump. Beacon: Harley and Olivia turn to see Gus. Gus looks at them, "Why are you in my room?" Harley holds up the pill bottle, "What is this Gus?" Gus sighs, "You aren't allowed to do that. You can't do that. This is my room." Harley shakes her head, "I thought you were done with these. I thought we were past this. Gus, what the hell is this?" Gus walks in, "I am not doing anything wrong." She scoffs, "I can't believe you. You are popping pills again Gus! Do you remember what happened last time? It almost ruined our lives! We were never the same after that." Gus sits down, "Well we're done now. So what's the point." She shakes her head, "Well our children for starters. If you would return my phone calls you would know that Belinda's biological mother if filing for custody of her." Gus stands up, "What? I didn't even... Well we won't let her." Harley sighs, "There's more. It's Dinah. Dinah Marler is Belinda's biological mother." Gus is confused, "No. I don't understand." Harley sighs, "Of course you don't." Gus looks at her, "Harley I... I am so sorry. I don't know how I let this happen again. I want to get past this." Harley shakes her head, "Gus we tried!" He pleads with her, "Harley please! You helped me before you can do it again!" Harley looks at Olivia. Old Cabin: Edmund stares at Beth, "What are you talking about? Lorelei has been gone for some time now." Beth shakes her head, "Not as long as you think." Edmund walks over to her, "This. Is this serious Beth? Honestly? Is Lorelei back?" She nods, "She has been back. It's a back and forth thing now. I'll have these blackouts and then hours or even a day later I won't remember what happened. Now I realize it's her. Lorelei has been holding you captive. I don't know how she did it but she did." Edmund sits, "I can't believe this. I mean Lorelei left years ago didn't she?" Beth sighs, "She did but she came back." He turns to her, "When did she come back?" She takes a deep breathe. "Shortly after I married Alan. Lorelei took over. And she kidnapped Alan and Gus. She held them in this very cabin." Edmund shakes his head, "No. No. Beth that was you." Beth shakes her head, "No. That's what everyone thought. But it was her. Lorelei did it." He stands up, "I don't believe this. Are you just going to confess every crime you committed and blame it on your split personality?" She turns to him, "You of all people should know how real Lorelei is. Only now she has even more of a life." He is confused, "What do you mean by that?" Beth looks at him, "Lorelei has done a lot more in Springfield then anyone knows." Lewis Fashion: Rue is sitting at the desk. Marah smiles, "It's nice to meet you. So you wanted to help us put together our fashion show this Spring?" Rue nods, "Yes. I want to help you women get settled in to make your bit 2009 debut. I mean you were quite popular in Europe but in the states things are different." Marah nods, "Well I am from here." Rue smiles, "Well I know. But we all need a little help sometimes right?" Marah nods, "Yeah I get what you mean. With everything going on right now we need all the help we can get." Rue leans in, "What do you mean?" Marah sighs, "Oh it's business stuff. I can't really talk about." Rue laughs, "Come on. If we're going to work together we can't share secrets." Marah sighs, "Well okay. We have been offerred to move our business over to New York." Rue smiles, "New York? That's a great place to work in this business. Believe me." Marah nods, "I know. But you see Lewis Enterprises just started. So for us to relocate and work with other businesses wouldn't look so good. We are really using our family unity as a face for the company." Rue nods, "Oh dear. So this information could be bad. I mean it could jeopardize the business." Marah nods, "Oh yes." Rue has gotten off on a good start. PART TWO: Old Cabin: Edmund stares at Beth, "This story is just a little to difficult to believe right now." Beth looks at him, "It's not a story. Lorelei was here for a long time. She was the one who did all of those things." Edmund sighs, "I don't understand." She shouts, "Neither do I! After the mess I went through I couldn't handle it. Phillip was gone. Alan was out of control. I couldn't handle it so I allowed Lorelei to take over again. I have regretted it to this day." He looks at her, "So what all did Lorelei do?" She sighs, "The Beth who was in love with Alan, got pregnant with his child. That was her." He stares, "So your telling me that the crazy kidnapping Beth I heard about. Wasn't you?" She shakes her head, "Not very much of the time. I mean my relationship with Rick was all me. Once I married him Lorelei was gone. But a few months ago she started to fight her way back." He shakes his head, "I can't believe this. Lorelei Hills. I thought she was gone forever." Beth nods, "So did I. This could ruin my life. I finally have Phillip back. And now I could lose it all again." Beth cries. Edmund keeps staring at her. Mansion: Cassandra sighs, "Surgery. Is it really as bad as it sounds. On one hand I get to live longer. Be a mother to RJ, maybe Will. I can get rid of this thing that has been slowly killing me for years. On the other hand I lose something else." A voice is heard, "Me." She turns around. A vision of Tammy appears, "You would lose me Mom. Are you serious? Are you really trying to get rid of me?" She shakes her head, "No! Oh no! I was just thinking. I was wondering about what would happen." Tammy's vision shakes her head, "You don't even care do you? You don't love me anymore." Cassandra shakes her head, "I love you! I'm so sorry! I wasn't going to go through with it I promise." Tammy turns away, "I just thought that you liked your visions of me. I thought you wanted me to guide you. But I guess I was wrong. Your just like the rest of them. You want to forget me." She sobs, "No! I love you Tammy! You are everything to me. Everything. I love you." Tammy nods, "Then you will not stop this. If this tumor is what's keeping me here then you won't let me go again. Even if it kills you." Cassandra nods, "Even if it kills me." Lewis Fashion: Rue is still talking with Marah. Marah sighs, "I don't know. It's just so difficult. I mean I love my family. I love Springfield. So does Mindy." Rue nods, "But?" She nods, "But this is a great opportunity to expand our business. New York is a great place. We could make even more connections there. This is going to be one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make. Mindy has put it all in my hands now." Rue puts her hand on Marah's, "Sweetheart. That is a lot to take on all on your own." Marah sighs, "Well who do I have? I haven't told my boyfriend yet. I don't even know if he'd move with me. Now I just have no one that I can talk to about this." Rue grins, "What about me? I could be here for you?" Marah sighs, "We don't know each other that well." Rue smiles, "We can get to know each other. I think we could be great friends. Just think of me as your fairy godmother." Marah smiles at who she thinks is a new friend. Beacon: Harley knows what she has to do, "Gus I am sorry. But I won't do that again. I won't." Gus stares at her, "What?" She sighs, "Gus I am not going to help you with this again. You aren't going to see the kids until you pull yourself together." He scoffs, "You can't do that." She nods, "Yes I can. I could take legal action. But I don't think you want that Gus." He walks to her, "Please! Harley I need you." She shakes her head, "I am not your wife anymore." Gus sighs, "It's about him isn't it? Cyrus Foley?" She sighs, "No it's not." Gus cries, "But I still love you." She takes his hand, "I will always love you but I can't do this anymore. I won't do this again. Gus you need to work on yourself. By yourself. I'm sorry. But I can't help you.' Gus gets down on his knees, "Harley please!" Harley cries, "I'm sorry Gus!" She runs out. Olivia helps Gus up, "I'm sorry. I just can't believe Harley would do that to you." Gus shakes his head, "I don't need her. I can get through this on my own." Olivia shakes her head, "You don't have to." The two hug. Olivia knows she is doing what's best for Gus, and herself. Farmhouse: Aubrey takes Rafe's arm, "I still need you." Rafe shakes his head, "I am not getting tangled up in your psychotic mess that you've started." She sighs, "I know that this seems crazy. But I'm not giving up. I do have a plan." He nods, "Oh yeah? What's that." She sighs, "I can't share that with you. The less you know the better." He shakes his head, "Uh-uh. That there. That is a sign that this is messed up and I need to cut my losses." She takes his arm again, "Remember Rafe. The first time week shook hands when I paid you to kidnap Sarah. Then we toasted when we teamed up to keep Jon and Liz a part. But now we are taking another step. Maybe we can find a new way to seal the deal." He is confused, "What?" She takes off her top, "I'm giving it to you. You know you've wanted me since the day we met." He backs up, "No. I'm not going to fall for this." She strips down to her underwear, "Come on. You know that you want this Rafe. Is it a deal?" Rafe walks over, "You sure you want to get into this." She takes off his shirt, "Oh kid. You better listen. I'm in charge. You do what I say. I can handle this. Can you?" Rafe kisses her. She pulls him down to the couch. The two begin to have hot sex. Old Cabin: Edmund sits with Beth, "Phillip?" Beth nods, "Yes. He proposed to me not to long ago." Edmund nods, "You two are engaged?" She sighs, "Uh, he's giving me time. But I don't know if I can say yes. I mean what if I say yes but then Lorelei says I do. She could destroy Phillip she is a sick woman." Edmund is confused, "I remember Lorelei. I spent a lot of time with Lorelei. She was somewhat of a bad girl. But she was no villian." Beth nods, "Her life as Mrs. Alan Spaulding changed her. She was always money hungry. Once she got it. Well it did what money does. It changed her. She became a different woman." He turns to her, "Why would Lorelei kidnap me?" She sighs, "I don't know! Maybe she still felt a connection with you. I do feel that. I feel like, not that she was trying to hurt you. But she wanted to have you close." Edmund sighs, "Classic Lorelei. She would go this way to get my attention." Beth has tears in her eyes, "So you believe me?" He nods, "Oh yes. I mean I am still furious. I'm starving and thought I was going to die." She hands him a plate of food, "I don't have much but I found this. I'm so sorry Edmund." Edmund sighs, "I don't even know what to do." Beth turns to him, "Edmund. I need you. I need you to help me." He is confused, "I don't think I can help you much." She nods, "Yes you can. You once helped teach Lorelei about me. Now I need you to teach me about her. I need to stop her before she takes over again." Edmund stares at Beth. PREVIEWS: Harley finds Cyrus Reva's life is in danger! Dinah gets good news Coop and Ashlee discuss their situation Mindy throws herself at Rusty

I have a lot of fun writing for Rue. Soon Alan will have to choose between the two lives he has lived. I think Shayne has feelings for Marina right now but he is also mad at Rocky so that could have something to do with it. Marina hasn't been emotionally stable since Danny passed away and throwing herself into Shayne and Rocky's lives was not a good choice for anyone. Olivia is back to her old bitch self! LOL!

We'll see some good stuff with Rufus. I had so much fun writing Dinah vs Harley. I hope you like this side of Dinah because we will be seeing more of it. I don't expect people to like Marah. Especially after everything that happens this year. Oh yes I was really excited to bring Rufus on. And he will be involved in a lot of the big events!!! Rufus and Cassandra will share a strong bond. We'll find out more about Coop and Ashlee next week. But they do have different paths they are going down. We will see Roxie and Mindy have a good confrontation before Mindy is written off. I have been planning Belinda's story for years! Yes years! I am so glad we made it here! Thanks ML!

I guess you must have missed it. Maybe read the episode again. But the next episode should explain.

A day of shocks in Springfield.... Old Cabin: It's snowing around the cabin. Inside it's very quiet. Edmund Winslow is still tied up inside a bedroom. Edmund opens his eyes. He passed out last night. He hasn't recieved a visit from the kidnapper in a while. Edmund takes a deep breathe, "This is how it's going to happen. This is how I'm going to die. Everyone was right. I'm going to die alone. No Cassie, no Ava, no Grandson, nothing." Suddenly he hears the door opening. Edmund remains quiet. He can here the kidnapper walking inside and shutting the door. Edmund isn't sure what to do. Yelling and pleading doesn't work. Edmund's heart races. He doesn't feel to well. He hasn't had much to eat and is freezing cold. The kidnapper walks inside. The place is silent. The kidnapper worries. Slowly the kidnapper opens the door. Edmund Winslow lies still. He's not moving. Mansion: Rufus walks into the livingroom. Cassandra grins, "Look at you. Good morninng. I knew a good stylist would help you work out a new look." Rufus smiles, "It's different. But I kind of like it. It's not exactly my thing. But it's cute that's for sure. I certantly could get a lot of booty in Springfield." Cassandra walks around, "I think you are going to enjoy your time here. Now let's get started on your story." Rufus nods, "I'm Rufus Taylor." She sighs, "Okay... the name Rufus. Cute. I love it. Great. But, not really what I had in mind. Maybe a nickname." Rufus laughs, "Well I've had boys give me a lot of nicknames, but I'm not sure you want to hear them." She sighs, "Okay. Well I was thinking. Rue. Rue Taylor." Rue turns to a mirror, "Rue Taylor. What is she like?" Cassandra walks behind her, "Rue Taylor is a srong, independent, beautiful, woman. Who goes after everything she wants. Every goal she has. Every man she wants to get with. And she always gets exactly what she wants." Rue nods, "Rue. I think I might like Rue for a little while." Cassandran hugs her, "Oh. Rue Taylor. Welcome to Springfield." Alan and Natalia's: The doorbell rings. Alan anwswers the door. Alan Michael is there, "Hello Dad." Alan smiles, "Son. It's so great to see you. Come on in. Is Mel with you?" Alan Michael shakes his head, "No. She is not. Mel has work today. She has case she's working on. But she is also spending a lot of time helping me with my persuit of Spaulding Enterprises." Alan nods, "Yes. I'm confused on that. Phillip told me he was going to take over as CEO." Alan Michael laughs, "Well Phillip says a lot of things. But no. I'm taking the company back. Now I came over here to warn you." Alan is confused, "Warn me? About what?" Alan Michael grins, "Now you can play the good guy with everyone else but don't play it with me. We all know that Cassandra is going to be voted out of her chair soon. And you are going to be first in line to fill the chair. But I'm not going to let you get in my way Dad." Alan shakes his head, "I don't know what you are talking about. I have no interest to go back as CEO of Spaulding. Sure I still do business there. I work there. But I don't want to run it anymore." Alan Michael sighs, "Are we really going to play this game. Where you do your little, "I'm a changed man' speech?" Alan sighs, "I'm sorry son. But the Alan Spaulding you used to know is gone. And my days as the villian of Springfield are finally over." Alan Michael stares at his father. Marina's House: Marina is sleeping. Shayne walks over with a tray of food. She wakes up, "Good morning." He smiles, "Good morning. I made you some food." She grins, "Shayne! Oh my God. I can't believe you did this for me. You are just... You're the best Shayne." Shayne smiles, "Well I was up and I didn't have much to do. I don't have to go to the office until this afternoon so I thought I'd surprise you with the corny breakfast in bed." She looks at him, "Thank you. I really appreiate this. You made all of my favorites." Shayne nods, "Is it cool if I hang out in here with you while you eat?" She smiles, "Well yeah of course. You made me breakfast. Of course you can stay." He sighs, "Thanks. I mean it's just us anyway." She is confused, "Uh. What do you mean? Us?" He turns to her, "Rocky's not here." She nods, "Oh. Oh yeah. I didn't know he left." Shayne sighs, "Rocky has some tests he has to take. I guess he is taking this cop thing seriously." Marina nods, "Well I sure do. I hate that I'm at desk duty. But I am pregnant. But don't worry about Rocky. It takes a while to become a cop." Shayne looks down, "Yeah. I guess so." Marina turns to him, "Shayne. Is that the only reason you wanted to hang out with me?" Shayne turns to her, "What do you mean?" She sighs, "Shayne is this about the kiss?" Shayne looks away. Farmhouse: Jonathan is putting Sarah's coat on her. Aubrey is wearing a big coat too. Aubrey walks over, "So make sure you pay close attention to what the pediatricion tells you. You need to fill me in when you get back." Jonathan nods, "I will. And you need to tell me whatever your doctor tells you. And I want to see the sonogram. I mean I still don't get how you accidentally made the appoinments on the same day at the same time?" Aubrey nods, "I know. I'm just a little forgetful. But I will go to my appointment and you'll go with Sarah. It'll be fine. Now go. We're both running late." Jonathan takes Sarah and leaves. Aubrey takes off her coat. She is still in her pajamas. She walks over the computer. Aubrey opens up a saved file. She clicks a button. She gets frustrated, "Why isn't this printing. Print!" Rafe sneaks up behind her, "What about your appointment." She is startled, "What the hell are you doing? How did you get in here?" He smirks, "I got in through the back. So I heard you say you have an appoinment." She she exits out on her computer. She stands up, "You need to get going. I'm leaving soon and I can't leave you here by yourself." He puts his hand towards her stomach, "Look how big you are getting." She smacks his hand away, "No! Just... I'm sorry but I am very protective of my child." Rafe laughs, "Well you certantly are eating for two. Your baby bump is getting big." She scoffs, "I'm going to change into my clothes. Now when I come down here I want you gone." Aubrey walks upstairs. Rafe goes to leave. Suddenly he hears the printer start. He walks back over. He pulls it out. Rafe is shocked by what he sees. Beacon: Harley is knocking on Gus's door. Olivia walks over, "Can I help you?" Harley sighs, "I've been calling Gus and he doesn't answer his phone. I'm worried about him. Can you let me into his room." Olivia sighs, "You shouldn't worry about him. He's a jerk. You were right to leave him." Harley sighs, "Just let me in his room. Please Olivia." Olivia takes out her key card and opens the door. Harley walks in, "Gus? Gus?" Olivia follows, "You know there is something wrong with him. I think he's like bipolar or something. One day he says he feels bad for me. Then another he acts all weird and hits on me. Then out of no where he starts flipping out and acting like a psycho. Now he hybernates in his room." Harley is in Gus's bathroom, "Oh no. Oh God!" Olivia turns, "What?" Harley walks out holding a bottle of pills, "Olivia. What are these?" Olivia looks, "Those are pain pills. Gus was shot two months ago remember? He was prescribed those." Harley sighs, "Oh God! You didn't stop him?" Olivia shakes her head, "Gus was in pain! He was in horrible pain. Why would I stop him?" Harley shouts, "Because in case you forgot, a few years ago Gus had an addiction to pain killers that almost ruined his life!" Olivia stares at the pills. PART TWO: Alan and Natalia's: Alan Michael looks at Alan, "Are you kidding? You expect me to believe that you don't want your seat back as CEO of Spaulding?" Alan shakes his head, "Nope. I have moved on. I have the life that I always wanted but never new I wanted." Alan Michael looks around, "This house is cute but it's not the mansion. I mean really?" Alan nods, "Really. I am happy here. This is my home. With Natalia and the baby." Alan Michael sighs, "That's another question. Natalia is a sweet woman. She's Mel's best friend. She is innocent, kind, caring. But she's not a Spaulding Dad." Alan walks away, "Natalia is a Spaulding. She's Rafe's mother. My wife and the mother of your baby brother." Alan Michael nods, "I know. She is family. But Dad. Look at all of your other wives. She is nothing like them. Doris, Beth, Olivia. All the others." Alan nods, "I know. She's more like your mother." Alan Michael sighs, "Don't drag her into this." Alan sighs, "I lost a lot of loves. Your mother. Gus's mother. Now I finally realize that the company was the other woman ruining my relationships. The one that cost me them." Alan Michael sighs, "Dad. This is our company. We are Spauldings. You have to atleast have some urge to take this back from Cassie." Alan sits down, "No. I have taken Tammy away from her. I will never forgive myself. I feel bad for Cassie. That company is going to make her life even worse. I know that." Mansion: Rue and Cassandra sit on the couch. Rue looks at her, "So what is my job that you are going to have me involved in with the Lewises?" Cassandra sits up, "Okay. You are going to be doing business with MM Lewis Fashion. Mindy and Marah Lewis. They are cousins. Now we will start there. You need to get some inside information on the business and the family. We need to know what's going on with their parents." Rue nods, "Okay well is there any stuff I need to know or look for while I'm doing this?" Cassandra sighs, "Oh yes. Let's see. Mindy's father Billy is a recovering alcoholic. Marah's mother Reva is a slut. Mindy is dating Rick Bauer. Or was I'm not sure. You can find out. Marah is in a relationship with a lawyer. Jeffrey O'Neill." Rue smiles, "Oh! I think I've seen him before. I saw him visiting you before right? I thought maybe he was your guy?" Cassandra sighs, "No. Once upon a time. But now he is with my niece Marah. I don't need to have a man holding me back anymore." Rue grins, "So does this mean that Jeff is up for grabs?" Cassandra turns to her, "No. But I do think there might be a guy that you have s shot with." Rue grins, "Who?" She sighs, "Well I'm not sure. But maybe my nephew Shayne might be interested." Marina's House: Shayne looks at Marina, "The kiss?" She nods, "Yeah. We've had two now. But who's counting?" Shayne laughs, "I uh... I don't know what to say about that." Marina sighs, "Shayne. I don't know what's going on between the two of us. I mean, is this more than what I think it is?" He looks down, "Marina, I'm with Rocky. And I'm happy with Rocky." Marina sighs, "You know I love my uncle. I do. But you and Rocky aren't happy. You aren't getting along. You go through these silent treatments. You guys don't even seem happy together." Shayne sighs, "We are having our problems. But we are trying to make things work. We are trying." She shakes her head, "You shouldn't have to try so hard." Shayne turns to her, "I know that this is a hard time for you. You are pregnant. You are mourning Danny." She nods, "And I'm giving you my baby." He sighs, "You said you wanted to give the baby to me and Rocky." Marina looks down. Shayne scoots away, "I uh... I need to get going. I have some errands I forgot about. Call me if you need something." Marina cries and knocks the food to the floor. Beacon: Olivia takes the pills, "These were prescribed to him by his doctors Harley. He didn't steal them." Harley sighs, "His Doctor's probably didn't know about his history with these! Oh God! Not again!" Olivia stares, "So your saying Gus is addicted to pills again." Harley sits, "I don't need this now! Why now?" Olivia looks at her, "That's right. Dinah told me about Belinda. When they find out about this, Dinah's going to get custody." Harley stands up, "Olivia! I thought Gus was your friend now? Why are you threatening to help take our daughter away?" Olivia sighs, "I don't want to do that Harley. I want to help Gus with this. He saved me. I want to return the favor. But I don't need you in the way of all of this." Harley sighs, "Olivia I helped him before!" Olivia shakes her head, "You aren't his wife anymore! You are with Cyrus Foley now. Where is he anyway?" Harley sighs, "He's out of town. He'll be back." Olivia walks over, "Harley, you need to focus on keeping your daughter. Let me take care of Gus. You know what you have to do Harley. This is it Harley. You have to decide now. Do we have a deal?" Harley takes a deep breathe. Gus walks in, "Hey. What is going on?" The two women turn to him. Farmhouse: Aubrey walks downstairs. Rafe is there. She isn't happy, "Rafe. I told you that you had to get going. Okay? I have my sonogram." He laughs, "Your sonogram? That's funny? You mean this sonogram?" She stares at a printed off sonogram photo, "Where did you get that?" He grins, "I found it. In your printer. Now you edited it to look like it was your sonogram for your baby. Now why would you need to do that if you really had an appointment?" Aubrey scoffs, "I don't need to explain myself to you. You need to go now. Or I will get angry for real." Rafe looks at her, "You know I have a little theory. Do you mind if I test it on you?" She walks away, "I am not going to listen to you." He grabs her, "Not so fast." She freaks ou, "Get off of me! I'm pregnant! Don't touch me!" He fights as she struggles. He puts his hand up her blouse and then pulls it out. Her face is pale. She turns to him. He looks down, "Oh wait. Where's your baby bump now?" She is speechless. He holds up his hand, "Oh here it is." He is holding a type of strapped round pillow. Aubrey looks down at her flat, unpregnant belly. Old Cabin: The kidnapper walks in. Edmund lies on the ground. He's not moving. It's hard to tell if he's breathing or not. Slowly the kidnapper leans down and checks his pulse. One can't be found. The kidnapper unties his hands to check his wrist for a pulse. Edmund's eyes open. He lunges for the kidnapper, "Come here!" The kidnapper shoves him and runs. Edmund finds the strength to come to his feet. He goes after the kidnapper. He make a leap. The two are in a struggle. Edmund over powers. They fall to the floor. Edmund sits up. He looks down at his kidnapper who is face down. He pulls down the hood. Edmund is surprised. Long blonde hair is sticking out of the back. He flips them over. He removes the mask. Edmund is shocked by who he sees. It's his ex wife! Edmund gasps, "Oh my God! Beth?" Beth's face looks up at Edmund. PREVIEWS: Beth shocks Edmund! Harley confronts Gus Aubrey pleads with Rafe Rue makes her debut Jeffrey visits Cassandra

Oh. I'm worried for Karim. Ooh so far I am liking Remy and Ria. Remia. You wrote great for Remy! Totally nailed it! Spot on. Especially how Remy feels about race. He has been connected to white, black and hispanic women. But it's getting clear that he has a thing for older women. LOL! I really love this. Especially you bringing up the blizard. Wow Ashley really did get her revenge on Sabryn. She even sounds kind of crazy. I wonder if she'll go nuts like Ashley. Was Ashley always crazy? Lauren's baby. Seems like STEAM is going to have quite a few little ones. Are there any children on or just babies? For some reason I just can't think of any children but I might just be spacing out. Ooh interesting on the Lauren's drinking during pregnancy. This is a bad day to be Alexis. Ooh the diary. Those can hold serious power LOVE THE ENDING. I can't wait for DC and Mona. Good episode. 2009 is a good year for STEAM!

Ooh! Kevin/Sharan/Dre. I like it! For some reason Ria sipping on 151 makes me like her even more. LOL! I loved the girl talk with Ria and Lisa. Those are always interesting scenes that help you with the characters. I love how Ria and Remy meet. I can't wait to see where his goes. That scene was written very well! OMFG! Sabryn and Ashley!!! WOW! Kind of weird picturing them trying to talk to each other during all of this. LOL! Oh God! I don't like where the car chase is going. Hmm. I actually like Sabryn more in this episode than in the past. LOVED Ashley singing to the babies. Wow I didn't think it was going to tie in with LaDonna and Karim! Good twist! I'm on the edge of my seat! NO! ASHLEY JONES! OH NO SHE DIDN'T! Ashley's last bit of revenge! So great! Such a great episode!

A lot of information exchanged in Springfield.... Company: Coop is hugging Buzz, "It's so great to see you Dad." Buzz smiles, "Look at you. God I missed you!" Coop looks over at Ashlee, "Hi." She nods, "Hey Coop." Buzz backs away, "Don't let me stand between you two you must have missed each other these past few weeks of being a part." Ashlee walks over to Coop, "Did you have a good flight?" He nods, "Yeah." The two kiss. Buzz notices that the passion seems to have disappeared. Ashlee looks at her watch, "You know sweetie I'd love to stay but I have my classes. So you can get settled in and I'll see you later?" He nods, "Sure have a good class." Ashlee walks out. Coop grabs his bags, "I'm assuming my old room is available. I'm just going to take these upstairs and unpack." Buzz steps in front of him, "Not just yet." Coop laughs, "What Dad? Do you want something?" Buzz nods, "Oh hell yeah. I want to know what is going on between you and Ashlee. Coop?" Coop is at a loss for words. Harley's House: Harley and Belinda are arguing. Dinah runs over, "Get your hands off my daughter!" Harley turns to her, "Dinah what are you talking about?" Mallet and Jeffrey rush in. Mallet sighs, "Dinah..." Harley looks at them all, "What is going on?" Jeffrey turns to Harley, "We need to talk right now." Dinah walks to Belinda, "Do you know who I am?" Belinda stares at her. Harley steps between them, "Dinah. What are you talking about?" Jeffrey sighs, "Harley there's something you need to know." Harley looks at Belinda, "Go upstairs." Dinah shakes her head, "No. Don't send her away!" Harley scoffs, "Dinah stop it! Belinda go upstairs." Belinda slowly walks upstairs. She looks at Dinah the whole way. Dinah stares at her as she leaves. Jeffrey walks to Harley, "Listen. I found out that Belinda's biological mother is Dinah. Dinah had her in Europe and had to give her up. The Driscoll's got her and... well you know the rest." Harley is in shock, "This can't be possible... I don't understand. Are you telling me that Belinda is Dinah's daughter." Dinah nods, "Yes. My daughter. And I'd like her back rught now." Harley is shocked by Dinah's demand. Mansion: Cassandra walks Rufus into the house. Rufus looks around, "Oh my God! This place is... it's like a castle or something. I mean I saw it on top of the hill but... you live here?" She nods, "Oh yes. This is my mansion. And you are in my town." Rufus stares at everything, "You are one loaded bitch huh? What do you do? Or who do you do? Whatever it is I want in." She laughs, "Oh I am the CEO of Spaulding Enterprises." Rufus is speechless, "Wow you must be a freaking billionaire." She nods, "Something like that." Rufus grins, "You are like my idol." Cassandra walks around him, "You are a very interesting... woman? Yes. This style of yours..." Rufus nods, "Sexy?" She sighs, "Not the word I was thinking of. Now this may be a hot look where you come from but here in Springfield someone dressed like that is either a prositute or... well you." Rufus looks at her, "What did you mean before? About being my fairy godmother? I don't get it." She smiles, "Well I saved your life which means it belongs to me now. And I have a job for you." Rufus sighs, "Sorry Babe. But I have a job. And I don't need to be some maid or crap like that." Cassandra puts her hand on Rufus's face, "Oh Babe. The job I'm talking about is different. Do you know much about being a Corporate Espionage?" Rufus is interested. Mall: Marah and Marina are shopping. Marina is looking at clothes, "I hate this. I can't buy anything because nothing fits longer than a week." Marah laughs, "Who wears the same outfit more than once anyways? Marina I told you that I'm going to get you cute outfits for your maternity." Marina sighs, "I didn't expect to gain all of this weight so fast." Marah rubs her belly, "I'm so happy for you sweetie! And I have two little nieces or nephews." Marina nods, "Oh yeah that one girl is pregnant. Aubrey right?" Marah nods, "Yes. I really like her. She reminds me of Tammy. She's really good for Jonathan. Much better than you know who." Marina smiles, "Oh yes. I have my share of issues with Lizard Spaulding." Marah laughs, "I think I'll use that. I'm really just worried about my brother. I mean I have to be nice because he likes Lizzie but I know that he should stay with Aubrey." Marina looks down, "Well yeah you just want your brother to be happy whether it's with one person or another." Marah nods, "Well yeah. But I want him to be with someone who can love him for who he is and appreciate him." Marina agrees, "I know Marah. I want the same thing you do!" Marah turns to her, "Marina? Are we talking about Jonathan? Or are we talking about Shayne?" Marina is speechless. Harley's House: Harley stares at Dinah, "What are you talking about? You just found this out? Now you just wanted to swing by and take my daughter?" Dinah shakes her head, "No. She's my daughter. My daughter! I carried her. I gave birth to her." Harley nods, "Then you gave her away." Dinah goes to hit her but Mallet pulls her back, "Dinah. Dinah." Jeffrey walks over, "Harley listen. For a little while Dinah thought her child was dead. She is a little emotional. You need to understand that she is just wanting to see her daughter." Dinah shakes her head, "You don't have to speak for me Jeffrey. Harley that is my daughter. She is my daughter." Harley shakes her head, "No. I'm sorry Dinah but we have a family here. Okay? Me and my family are happy?" Dinah scoffs, "Family? With who? Gus? Where the hell is Gus? From what I here he is living at the Beacon and being a jerk to everyone." Harley sighs, "That is really none of your business Dinah. Okay you need to get out of my house right now." Dinah laughs, "Oh God! You are pathetic. You just can't accept what is happening here." Harley shouts, "What are you talking about?" Dinah shouts back, "Harley I saw it when I came in here. It's obvious why you are afraid of me taking her. Because she'd be happy with me. It's clear that she hates you!" Harley gets furious. Bauer Home: Mindy holds the pictures. She looks through them of her making out with Rusty. She looks at them, "Rick... where? Where did you get these from?" Rick stares at her, "What? Why the hell does that matter to you?" She shouts, "Just tell me?" Rick stands up, "You are nuts." Mindy nods, "I knew it! It was her wasn't it? It was her. Roxie Shayne brought you these pictures!" Rick turns to her, "So what if she did? Does that make them disapear? Do I have to forget I saw them?" She sighs, "Don't you see? Rick she is trying to break us up! She wants you! And most of all she wants to hurt me and ruin my life! She is a psychopath who has to be stopped!" Rick scoffs, "Oh my God! Roxie didn't do this to us Mindy. You did! You are the one who cheated on me with Rusty Shayne!" Mindy shakes her head, "No! Roxie did this." He laughs, "Are you joking? Are you going to tell me that what she pushed you and you fell into his naked arms?" Mindy sighs, "Rick... It's not what it looks like. I didn't cheat on you." Rick holds the pictures, "Then what the hell do you call this?" She takes them, "But this is all that happened. I stopped it before it got to far." Rick stares at her, "If this isn't to far for you, then maybe you are just this type of person Mindy." Rick walks out of the room. PART TWO: Mall: Marah stares at Marina, "Are you talking about you and Shayne?" Marina sighs, "Okay just... don't be mad at me. But look Shayne and I have been getting close again. And he wants to raise my child. Doesn't that mean something?" Marah sighs, "Sweetheart. He wants to raise your baby with Rocky. He is in love with Rocky." Marina nods, "I get what your saying. But they have been having problems for a long time now. I'm not even sure if Rocky wants the baby. And... Shayne and I, we kissed." Marah gasp, "Oh my God! Are you kidding me? You kissed Shayne? When?" She sighs, "Okay we kissed on New Year. That was just spontaneous. We acted like it wasn't a big deal. Then two weeks ago... we kissed again. And we didn't talk about it. But... I think there is something happening." Marah turns, "I can't believe this! This is huge Marina! I mean Shayne's not even... you know." Marina nods, "I know. But maybe he has been confused about his sexuality. And maybe Shayne still has feelings for me." Marah sits down, "I don't even know what to say. I mean I know that Rocky and Shayne care for each other. But I guess a part of me always wanted you to be my sister in law." Marina sits by her, "Does that mean that if this does happen that you will support us?" Marah nods, "Of course. I just want you both to be happy. Maybe you and Shayne are meant for each other." Marina hugs her. Harley's House: Harley is angry with Dinah, "You are crossing the line Dinah. You are not welcome in my house. Get out!" Dinah shakes her head, "Not without my daughter!" Harley looks at Mallet, "You are a cop arrest her. Unless you want me to do it?" Mallet sighs, "Harley please try and understand where Dinah is coming from. Belinda is her daughter." Harley shakes her head, "No. Belinda is my daughter. Gus and I adopted her a year ago and you can't just walk in here and try to take her away from us. No. Jeffrey tell them." Jeffrey sighs, "Okay this is very complicated. Dinah needs a DNA test done first." Dinah nods, "Oh I'll do it. I'll do it right now." Jeffrey turns to Harley, "Listen. Your adoption wasn't completly legalized since we couldn't locate her birth certificate for a while. And now we have it but..." Dinah looks over, "Harley, I am not going to let you keep my daughter from me. I'm sorry but I can't and I won't." Harley sighs, "No. I'm sorry. If you think I'm going to let you take her without a fight, then you are even crazier than I thought." Dinah and Harley stare each other down. Belinda walks down the stairs. Mansion: Cassandra walks around Rufus, "You have a nice bone structure. And a cute little figure too." Rufus nods, "I know it Babe. And I own it." She grins, "I bet you do. I think you can use that." Rufus is curious, "So what is this you say about being a corporate espionage? What do you mean exactly?" She turns to him, "Listen. I have taken over Spaulding Enterprises. Which is a great accomplishment. But I need more. I am going after Lewis Enterprises next. They're done." Rufus smiles, "Lewis Enterprises?" She nods, "I'm going to have you work your way up. You have heard of MM Lewis Fashion right?" Rufus sighs, "Ugh. Yes. That overrated design team. They spew their crap all over france and now it's back here. I don't get what people like about it. It's so dull." Cassandra sighs, "Well you'll get to see a lot of it. They are looking for some new design ideas for their new line. And I have just the person to help them." Rufus shakes his head, "Oh no. I have my own thing. I don't need this. Sorry. No." She laughs, "It's not for real remember? You will gain their trust. Mindy and Marah. You'll get inside information on the business and family. Billy, Vanessa, Josh, Bill, Shayne, and espeically Reva Shayne." Rufus backs up, "I don't know if I want to get caught up in this. I'm looking for a fresh start." She grins, "Then why not start out on top?" Rufus smiles. Company: Coop looks at Buzz, "What are you talking about? Nothing is going on with Ashlee and I." Buzz sighs, "Don't lie to me Son." Coop shakes his head, "I don't even get what you are talking about? I've been in town for like a minute." Buzz looks at him, "Well Ashlee has been acting odd ever since she came back. And then you return and you two don't seem excited to see each other." Coop walks past him, "Dad come on. I'm just having jet lag. And Ashlee is really worried about her mother going to prison." Buzz follows Coop, "I saw the way you looked at each other. It was awkward. You acted like two stranger." Coop sighs, "Dad we're fine. Look just don't worry about Ashlee and I. Okay? It's okay." Buzz shakes his head, "No it's not. If it were okay then why doesn't Ashlee have her engagement ring on?" Coop puts his bags down, "She took off?" He nods, "Yes she did." Coop looks down, "Oh." Buzz sighs, "She told me that it didn't fit her finger anymore." Coop takes his stuff to his room, "Well yeah Dad. I mean that's probably true. You know she lost weight." Buzz follows him, "Probably? Coop what happened in Europe." Coop turns to him, "Dad don't worry about it. Look Ashlee and I each grew up a lot there. And now, just don't worry about us." Coop shuts his door. Buzz can't stop worrying. Bauer Home: Mindy walks into the kitchen, "Rick. Can we please talk about this?" Rick turns to her, "Now you want to talk? If you weren't happy before then you should have said something. Not after you go screw Rusty Shayne at your office!" Mindy sighs, "I'm trying to tell you that I didn't sleep with Rusty. And I was happy with you. I am happy with you! But I just got caught up in the moment. I was stressed out from work. I have been feuding with Roxie latley because I know she wants you. It's just so messed up." Rick shakes his head, "Oh it is very messed up. This whole thing, our whole relationship is messed up." She walks towards him, "Then we can fix it." He shakes his head, "I don't think we can." Mindy nods, "Yes we can as long as we want to then we can Rick!" He sighs, "Mindy, I don't know if I want to. I am honestly starting to think that maybe all of this was just me trying to get over losing Beth. And it wasn't right from the very beginning." She shakes her head, "No! Don't let Roxie do this. Don't let her make you believe that we were a mistake." Rick sighs, "My kids are going to be here soon. So is my Dad and Michelle. I'd like it if I could be alone with my family. Could you just leave Mindy? Please?" Mindy slowly walks upstairs. She turns to him before she gets her things, "Rick I'm... I am so sorry." He nods, "So am I." Mindy goes to pack up her things. Harley's House: Belinda walks down the stairs. Dinah walks over, "My Baby Girl." Harley steps in front of her, "Belinda sweetie go upstairs. We're having a grown up talk." Belinda looks past Harley to Dinah, "It's true isn't it? You really are my mother aren't you?" Dinah cries, "Yes. Yes I am. I am your mother." Harley shakes her head, "Get out. Dinah get out. Mallet get her out of here right now." Mallet takes Dinah's hand, "Another day Babe." Dinah looks at Belinda, "Mommy is going to come back for you sweetheart. I'm not letting you go away again." Mallet walks Dinah out. Jeffrey looks at Harley, "I am so sorry that it went down this way. I never meant for this-" Harely stops him, "Get out. The boys will be home soon and so will Angel so I need you to go. Please." Jeffrey leaves. Harley turns to Belinda, "I am sorry. Did she scare you?" Belinda keeps staring at the door, "That was her? My real mother?" A tear runs down Harley's face. PREVIEWS: Edmund's kidnapper is revealed! Harley gets more upsetting news Cassandra goes over her plan Alan Michael visits Alan Marina talks to Shayne about the kiss Aubrey has a shocking secret

Thanks ML! Rufus gets involved in a lot of drama! Thank you Michael! Edmund's kidnapper is going to be a surprise!!! The Mindy/Rick/Roxie triangle has been fun to write! I love working with classic characters.

Bree Williamson is going to be a big part of FTL!! I can't wait for her to debut and get involved in the story that she's a part of. Sorry if there is confusion. Roxie is staying for a long time! Mindy is on her way out.

Thank you! Rusty and Mindy have a lot of passion between them. We'll see more of the Roxie/Rick/Mindy/Rusty quad. Gus and Olivia! I am having fun writing them. They have heavy stuff coming up. Next week should explain the story. I'm still not sure if they will be a full on couple or a strong friendship. I guess we'll see where it goes. Ashlee and Coop have a lot going on as well. We'll see them eventualy explain what is going on. But soon you'll see each of them in stories that may not involve each other. Diaries are good devices! Great minds! LOL! I'm so glad you pictured it that way! That's it!
