    The results of people's actions erupt in Springfield...



    Towers:


    Marah is in Edmund's room.
    She is sipping champagne.

    He walks in.
    She smiles, "Finally. I was wondering what was taking you so long."
    He grins, "I have been anxious to see you. I just had to take care of a few things before."
    She walks over to him, "I haven't seen you in over a week. My trip was fun but I missed having you there with me. What all did you do while I was gone?"
    He smiles, "Oh I thought about you a lot."
    Marah kisses him.
    He looks at her, "Did you think about me?"
    She nods, "Of course."
    Marah walks over and pours another glass for Edmund.
    He stares at her.
    She turns around.
    Marah laughs nervously, "What?"
    He nods, "I've looked at you a million times Marah. And I don't think I've ever really seen you until now."
    She looks at him, "What you mean?"
    He walks towards her, "You're smart. I mean I knew you were smart, but you're down right clever. It's amazing quite frankly. You should be proud of yourself."
    She laughs, "Well you're full of compliments."
    He nods, "Indeed."
    She turns away, "Anything I do to trigger this?"
    He laughs, "Oh you did everything Marah."
    She steps into the bathroom.
    Edmund turns away.
    He smiles, "Very impressive Marah. Very impressive."
    He sips his champagne.



    Mallet and Dinah's:


    Belinda pulls into her driveway.
    Leah is standing there.
    Belinda gets out and walks towards her, "What's up?"
    Leah stares, "I wanted to stop by and clear the air."
    Belinda nods, "New York do you well?"
    Leah nods, "Sure. But I wanted to make sure you know that I'm over what happened Belinda. I'm not going to forget about it but I'm forgiving you and accepting your apology."
    Belinda sighs, "Well good. I hope we can co exist for now."
    Leah nods, "Of course."
    Belinda walks past her.
    Leah sighs, "I did tell Marti that you were the one who called her Mom and had her sent away. And unfortunately Marti isn't as forgiving as I am."
    Belinda laughs, "Okay. So what?"
    Leah shakes her head, "Just a warning Belinda."
    Belinda looks at her, "Understand this: Marti Lewis is a trampy little wuss. She does not intimidate me the least bit. Besides she is all the way in New York. She can't touch me."
    Belinda walks into her house.
    She goes into the living room.

    Dinah and Mallet sit silently in the living room.
    She looks at them, "Who died?"
    Dinah looks at her.
    Mallet is looking down.
    Belinda stares, "What's up?"
    Dinah sighs, "We got something in the mail... I think it belongs to you."
    Belinda sees her notebook on the table.
    She nods, "My notebook. I lost that at the fraternity house a while ago when I was visiting RJ. What's the big deal?"
    Dinah shakes her head.
    She flips the notebook open.
    The page is the list of every sexual partner Belinda has ever had.
    Mallet keeps looking down and shaking his head.
    Belinda looks at the long list of names that goes down to the bottom of the page.
    Dinah stares at her 16 year old daughter.



    Cross Creek:


    There is a knock on the door.
    Bill answers it.

    Phillip is standing there, "Well you are alive."
    Bill nods, "True."
    Phillip nods, "I was wondering since I was trying like hell to get ahold of you while I was in New York."
    Bill shakes his head, "If you were trying to set up a golf game then you'll have to find someone else."
    Phillip stares, "I know you don't like me Bill. You've never made that a secret. But I was trying to get you to let me bring Emma to my wedding."
    Bill nods, "I see. I'm sorry I couldn't help contribute to the wedding of the year."
    Phillip stares, "You're a real ass. You know that? Emma is my daughter and I wanted to have her there with Beth and I on our big day."
    Bill stares, "Last time I checked she was my daughter."
    Phillip shakes his head, "A DNA test would say otherwise."
    Bill nods, "But years of raising her wouldn't."
    Phillip looks at him, "You and Olivia can try and turn her against me. But I'm not going to give up. I love my children and I owe it to them to make an effort."
    Bill shakes his head, "That's not my problem. You abandoned your role as her father. You cannot just come back and expect everything to be waiting for you Phillip. It will take a lot more than all the Spaulding money to change that. Whether you want to believe it or not."
    Phillip looks at him, "You had no right Bill, you have no right to stand between me and my daughter. Emma is 16 and she can make these decisions on her own."
    Bill stares, "First off if you knew anything you would know that she does not like being called Emma anymore."
    Phillip sighs, "Emma, Spencer, whatever. She is still my daughter and I love her."
    Bill nods, "Until you have another break down?"
    Phillip shakes his head, "Oh come on Bill!"
    Bill looks at him, "Look at Lizzie! Look at Zach. Being your child tends to mess kids up a little Phillip."
    Phillip stares at him, "I'm not a violent man. But I am telling you right now, watch what you say about my children. Do you understand me Bill?"
    Bill nods, "How about you stay away from mine?"
    Bill and Phillip stare each other down.



    Spaulding Mansion:


    Amanda is in the office.
    She is going through the files.
    There is a knock at the door.
    She hollers, "Come in."

    David walks inside.
    She looks over, "Detective Grant. To what do I owe this honor?"
    He nods, "Actually I was looking for Vicky."
    Amanda nods, "Oh. Well wherever I am Vicky usually is not. She isn't really my biggest fan lately. But then again most of my family is not."
    David looks at her, "I see."
    She shakes her head, "Oh. But I do think she forgot something at the office and had to go back. But she should be coming back here soon."
    David nods, "Oh okay, thank you."
    She looks at him, "Feel free to wait in here. She will probably pop her head in here when she gets back to remind me how to do my job."
    He laughs, "Okay."
    She stares, "So how is... I don't know, your life going?"
    He laughs, "Not so good at small talk?"
    She shakes her head, "Not really."
    He nods, "My life is fine."
    Amanda nods, "I don't know anything about you really."
    He sighs, "I'm a pretty boring man. Especially compared to everyone else in this town."
    She laughs, "Well you're looking at the woman who is known for making out with her 'son' in public."
    David laughs, "Well I'm not so innocent in the scandal department. My ex wife Lucy got me into a lot of hot water last year. But now I am drama free."
    Amanda nods, "Well I can see your appeal. Drama free men are hard to find in this town."
    David sighs, "Drama is overrated. And it's actually pretty easy to avoid. Just stay away from murder, scandal, stealing, and love triangles."
    Amanda laughs, "Sounds like you're going to have to move."
    The two laugh together.



    Company:


    Susan is moving her stuff into the boarding house.
    Stephanie looks at her, "I'm so glad you're going to be living here."
    Susan nods, "Well it's a lot more convenient than the Beacon. Plus I wasn't aware that you and Peter would be having problems when I was moving in."
    Stephanie sighs, "I should have told him sooner."
    Susan shakes her head, "You can't fret on the past."
    Stephanie nods, "Peter is amazing. I honestly was thinking he might be... the one."
    Susan looks at her, "He still could be."
    Stephanie shakes her head, "He found out I'm carrying Guillespie's baby. I'm walking around with a constant reminder of the boyfriend who beat me and made my life a living hell."
    Susan looks at her, "So?"
    Stephanie nods, "Why would anyone want to be around that?"
    Susan looks at her, "Peter is a good guy."
    Stephanie nods, "He's the best guy."
    Susan looks at her, "He would be stupid to pass you up."
    Stephanie laughs, "Like I'm so special."
    Susan looks at her, "You know me. I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true."
    Stephanie sighs, "I'm fat, I'm a liar, and I come with baggage. Like more baggage than the normal human being."
    Susan walks towards her, "Stephanie you're beautiful, inside and out. Plus you have those eyes, those big brown eyes that draw a person in."
    The two stare at each other.
    Susan sighs, "Peter just needs time to remember how amazing you are."
    Stephanie laughs, "You're giving me a big head."
    Susan sighs, "Whether he is with you or not I'm keeping my promise. I'm helping you through this pregnancy."
    Stephanie smiles.
    Peter walks down the hall.
    The girls look at him.




    Museum Apartment:




    The roommates are all in the living room.
    Jason is sitting with Vi.
    Coop is with Eden.
    Rocky sits on the couch with Maureen.
    Jason looks around, "Shouldn't we wait to have a meeting until everyone is here?"
    Coop nods, "Everyone who needs to be here is here Jason."
    Vi shakes her head, "Kevin isn't."
    Eden nods, "We know."
    Jason stares, "What's going on?"
    Eden nods, "Kevin has a lot of issues he needs to work out. No one here hates him. But living with him has been... hell. He's disrespectful and he is getting scary."
    Jason stares, "Okay... what are we talking about exactly right now?"
    Coop sighs, "Jason, we are no longer comfortable living with your brother. And we would like it if you would support us in the decision of requesting he leave."
    Jason shakes his head, "What?"
    Eden nods, "Please understand.
    Jason turns and looks at Rocky, "Do you hear this?"
    Rocky nods.
    Jason stares, "Oh my God. Rocky you're dating my brother. Are you seriously just going to sit there while they threaten to kick him out?"
    Rocky sighs, "Kevin needs to take some time to himself.
    Jason shakes his head, "Oh my God."
    Vi stares, "Unbelievable."
    Eden looks at them, "Don't make Rocky feel any worse than he already does. Kevin brought this on himself. He is getting to be out of control and we shouldn't have to deal with it."
    Coop looks at Jason, "I'm sorry Jason."
    Vi turns, "Maureen you're quiet. How do you feel about this?"
    Jason stares at Maureen.
    Kevin walks inside, "I'm home!"
    He has a big smile on his face and carrying bags of groceries.
    He looks at everyone.
    They all stare at him.
    He looks around, "What's up?"
    Everyone looks at each other.


    PART TWO:

    Spaulding Mansion:
    Amanda and David are sitting on the couch.
    He looks at her, "You're more fun than I expected."
    She stares, "What's that supposed to mean?"
    He nods, "I don't know. You're a Spaulding."
    She nods, "Uh-huh? Aren't you dating a Spaulding?"
    He sighs, "Yes. Vicky is a Spaulding but she just seems like the black sheep of the family. No pun intended."
    The two laugh.
    Amanda looks at him, "Well hopefully you can add me to the list of tolerable Spauldings."
    He nods, "Of course."

    Vicky walks in, "Hey."
    They look at her.
    She stares, "Oh don't let me interrupt."
    He stands, "Just been waiting for you."
    Vicky nods, "Well sorry. I got caught up with stuff. But I'm here now and I'm starving"
    He grins, "Well then we should get going."
    She looks at Amanda, "Any plans for tonight?"
    Amanda shakes her head, "Just work."
    Vicky nods, "Well thank you for keeping him company for me."
    Amanda nods, "No problem."
    David smiles, "Take care Amanda."
    She nods, "You too."
    Vicky and David walk out.
    Amanda gets up and gets back to her work.

    Company:
    Susan is standing with Stephanie.
    Peter looks at them.
    Susan nods, "I'm going to go get more of my stuff."
    Susan walks downstairs.
    Stephanie looks at Peter, "What's up?"
    He sighs, "First off I would like to apologize. I should not have reacted the way that I did when you told me your news."
    She shakes her head, "You're fine. It's not like you yelled or anything."
    He nods, "But I shouldn't have acted that way."
    She looks at him, "I wanted to tell you about my pregnancy. I was just afraid and honestly if I talked about it to you it would make it officially real."
    He looks at her, "I know this must be tough for you, carrying the baby of the man who treated you horribly. And you still are going through with the pregnancy and that's noble."
    She shakes her head, "Just no other option in my opinion."
    He looks at her, "You're strong and you'll be a great Mom."
    She sighs, "But?"
    He stares, "What?"
    She nods, "There has to be a 'but' coming."
    He shakes his head, "B-u-t-t or b-u-t?"
    She laughs, "B-u-t."
    He takes her hand, "No buts."
    She stares, "What?"
    He nods, "Stephanie I like you."
    She smiles.
    He shakes his head, "No. You know what you had the guts to be honest with me and I owe you the same. I love you Stephanie. I've been falling in love with you."
    A surprised Stephanie stares at him.

    Cross Creek:
    Bill and Phillip are in the living room.
    Bill looks at him, "I don't owe you time with my daughter Phillip."
    Phillip nods, "She is my daughter and if she wants to see me then that is her choice and you need to learn how to deal with that Bill."
    Bill looks at him, "Don't act like I don't know my daughter. You abandoned her when she was a baby. And I stepped in."
    Phillip nods, "Then you abandoned her as a child."
    Bill shakes his head, "You don't know anything about that!"
    Phillip stares, "Now Olivia is nowhere to be seen."
    Bill shouts, "Olivia is getting help with her drinking problem so that she can be a better mother!"
    Phillip looks at him, "This isn't about Olivia is it? This is about the fact that I'm a Spaulding and your a Lewis. And we are supposed to hate each other?"
    Bill stares, "Don't be stupid."
    Phillip nods, "I'm right. Can't we put the rivarly of our fathers behind us?"
    Bill looks at him, "This is not about my father and it sure as hell is not about your father. This is about my daughter and I'm not letting you ruin her life."
    Phillip shouts, "I'm ruining her life?"
    The two continue yelling.

    Upstairs Spencer is in her room.
    She sits against her door and listens to every word.
    She begins rocking back and forth.
    Her head gently hits against the door.
    Suddenly she slams her head into the door repeatedly.
    She gets up and walks across the room.
    She grabs scissors from her desk.
    Spencer rolls up her sleeve.
    She slowly digs the edge into her skin next to the cuts above.
    She breathes slowly and begins to relax.

    Mallet and Dinah's:
    Dinah and Mallet sit in the living room.
    Belinda looks at them, "How did you get that?"
    Dinah nods, "Like I said it was mailed to us."
    Belinda stares, "I lost it at the frat house.... Marti."
    Dinah looks at her, "This is about you."
    Belinda looks at Mallet.
    He won't even look at her.
    Dinah stares, "I really hoped this was a joke... but it's not is it?"
    Belinda looks at Mallet, "Dad..."
    Mallet looks at Dinah, "Tell her to sit down."
    Dinah nods, "You heard your father."
    Belinda sits, "Dad I'm sorry but I can explain..."
    Dinah looks at her, "Damn it Belinda! You're 16!"
    Belinda rolls her eyes, "Oh my God. You're over reacting."
    Dinah looks at her, "When your number of sexual partners exceeds your age... it's not overreacting."
    Belinda looks at her, "Like you're one to talk."
    Mallet jumps up, "You shut your mouth! This isn't some joke. Do you have any idea how dangerous you've been living?"
    Belinda laughs, "Wow. You two are so dramatic."
    Dinah looks at her, "Have you ever had an STD?"
    Belinda scoffs, "No."
    Mallet sighs, "Have you ever been pregnant."
    Belinda gets up, "I'm out of here."
    Dinah stands in front of her, "No you're not leaving."
    She shouts at her mother, "I'm not sticking around to be called a slut. I get it enough from everyone else in my school I don't need to hear it at home."
    Mallet walks over, "You know that is not what we're doing. We are your parents."
    She shouts, "No! She is the woman who gave me up when I was born and you're her current husband. That's all the two of you are to me."
    Mallet and Dinah stare at their emotional teenager.

    Museum Apartment:
    Kevin looks at his roommates.
    Coop nods, "Kevin we need to have a meeting."
    Kevin nods, "Oh cool. Well can we eat first? I'm starving. Who's with me?"
    Everyone is silent.
    Eden nods, "We need to do this now."
    Kevin laughs, "Come on. Maureen you must be hungry."
    Maureen looks down.
    Kevin looks around, "What's going on?"
    Coop sighs, "Kevin your actions lately have been a problem for most of us."
    Kevin laughs, "What are you talking about?"
    Eden nods, "What do you think?"
    Kevin shakes his head, "I literally don't."
    Coop sighs, "You're angry, violent, you drink too much, your rage scares all of us."
    Kevin stares, "I can't tell if you're joking or serious."
    Eden nods, "We're very serious."
    Kevin looks around.
    Jason looks at him, "We aren't all on the same page."
    Vi nods, "Of course not."
    Kevin looks at Rocky, "Can you believe this?"
    Rocky looks at him.
    Kevin nods, "Rocky..."
    Coop stares, "You aren't going to intimidate my brother anymore."
    Kevin scoffs, "Intimidate? Rocky what the hell have these two said to you?"
    Eden stands, "We need to vote. There are seven of us. And we need to decide on whether you will be remaining a part of this apartment or not."
    Kevin looks at all of his roommates.

    Towers:
    Marah has stepped into the bathroom.
    Edmund is pacing in his room.
    He shakes his head.
    He feels his body fill with rage as he watches Marah lie over and over.
    He feels like punching something.
    The door opens.
    He turns.
    Marah stands in lingerie, "I'm so anxious to reconnect."
    He stares, "Wow. What a site."
    She smiles, "I'm glad you like it.
    She walks towards him.
    Marah puts her arms around him.
    Edmund stares into her eyes, "Your eyes..."
    She nods, "What about them?"
    He grins, "I always noticed they were beautiful. But I guess I never noticed just how beautiful they are. They distract you and suck you in. Make you oblivious to other things."
    Marah smiles, "Well... thanks?"
    Edmund nods, "You are very welcome."
    Marah kisses him.
    She smiles.
    Edmund looks at her, "We have so much in common."
    She nods, "Yes we do. It took me a while but I know now that we belong together."
    He nods, "When did you realize that?"
    She shakes her head, "I don't know. A while ago."
    He nods, "Oh. Before or after you had my daughter kidnapped and then turned around and pinned the entire thing on Annie Dutton?"
    Marah stares, "What?"
    He looks at her, "Because my timeline is a little off."
    Marah backs away, "What are you talking about?"
    He starts to laugh.
    Marah puts her robe back on.
    She hurries to the door.
    Edmund grabs her.
    He slams her against the wall, "Nope."
    Marah stares at him.
    He smiles, "I'm on to you Marah."
    Marah stares in horror.

    People face their consequences in Springfield...


    Towers:


    Edmund is holding Marah up against the wall.
    He smirks, "Look at you. You look frightened."
    She shakes her head, "I didn't do anything Edmund."
    He laughs, "Oh no. Let's not begin lying again Marah. That will only make me even more furious then I already am. And I know you don't want that?"
    She sighs, "What do you want?"
    He looks at her, "Just admit what you did."
    She nods, "Really? That's what you want to hear?"
    He nods, "Yes."
    She sighs, "I did it."
    Edmund turns away.
    She starts to cry, "I hired someone to kidnap Ava. I didn't have a game plan. I just did it and didn't think of what my next move would be. I got in over my head and I went to Annie for help. She convinced me to let her handle it and I guess she tried to have Ava killed or something. But she ran out of money to pay off the guy and the whole thing fell a part."
    Edmund looks at her, "You wanted to kill my daughter. The only person that gives a damn about me!"
    She looks at him, "I love you Edmund."
    He looks at her, "No! Shut your mouth!"
    She cries, "I feel horrible. I wanted to tell you the truth. I was going to, and that's why Annie got you drunk and had sex with you. She wanted to break us up so that I wouldn't."
    He looks at her, "Then you framed Annie."
    Marah nods, "I planted evidence in her room and I tipped off the police."
    Edmund looks at her, "My God."
    Marah cries, "I still blamed her for my miscarriage. I hated that she was going to marry my brother. I wasn't thinking clearly Edmund. You have to believe me."
    He stares, "No one would ever suspect that Marah Lewis is a psychopath."
    She shakes her head, "No I'm not."
    He nods, "Oh yes you are."
    She turns away, "No."
    He looks at her, "Admit it. You have hate in your heart just like me."
    She sighs, "No matter what I do... I'm always the screw up. Dylan got his high school girlfriend pregnant. Shayne dated another guy. Jonathan dated his cousin. And I'm still just Marah. No matter what they do my parents won't look down on them. But when everyone found out I got pregnant with your baby they turned on me."
    Edmund looks at her, "Your family is the reason you're so messed up in the head. Just like mine."
    Marah looks at him.
    He smiles and puts his hands on her shoulders, "Well I have news for you Marah. It's time to show you the proper way to vent your rage toward your family."
    A confused Marah stares into Edmund's eyes.



    Mall:


    Clarissa walks out of the shop.
    Rafe approaches her, "Hey..."
    She looks at him, "Hey."
    He nods, "I didn't expect to see you here."
    She stares, "Well I'm here a lot. You on the other hand are not."
    He sighs, "Yeah I guess I did see your car in the parking lot."
    She looks at him, "I see."
    He sighs, "So how have you been?"
    She nods, "I'm good. It's getting a little easier everyday. But I still have those nights where I keep thinking in my head that I am missing out on so much in Adam's life."
    Rafe looks at her, "I'm glad you're okay."
    She looks at him, "How about you?"
    He looks at her, "What about me?"
    She nods, "Adam wasn't your son. But he was very important to you. I know it hurt you when I gave him up."
    Rafe nods, "Yes it did."
    She walks towards him, "Rafe please talk to me. I miss you."
    He sighs, "I miss you too."
    She stares, "We spent too much time together to just stop talking. You're important to me."
    He smiles, "You're probably one of the most important people in my life."
    The two smile at each other.
    They start walking.
    Rafe takes her bags, "Let me give you a hand."
    She smiles, "Thanks."
    He looks at her, "Mind if I take a look?"
    She nods, "Oh sure. Just new clothes that I can fit into."
    He looks at her, "You look great."
    She grins, "So do you. But you always look great."
    The two laugh.
    Clarissa stops.
    Rafe looks at her, "What?"
    He looks ahead.
    Reva walks towards them pushing Adam in a stroller.
    She stops when she sees them.




    Mallet and Dinah's House:


    Mallet and Dinah stare at Belinda.
    She laughs, "Quite now huh?"
    The two look at each other.
    She nods, "I'm not supposed to talk about that right? Talk about the fact that my biological father is no where to be seen. And he's never going to be is he?"
    Dinah looks at her, "No."
    Belinda shouts, "Why not?"
    Dinah looks at her, "Because he is a loser! He isn't good enough to be a father. And you do not want him in your life."
    Belinda shakes her head, "No! That is not your decision to make!"
    Mallet looks at her, "Your mother has her reasons."
    Belinda stares, "I feel like I'm the only person in the world who doesn't know who my father is!"
    Dinah stares, "Mallet is your father."
    Belinda looks at him, "He doesn't want to be my father."
    Mallet stares at her, "You know that's not true."
    Belinda scoffs, "Please! No man wants to be the father of the school slut."
    He shakes his head, "You're better than this."
    Belinda shakes her head, "No I'm not. Am I?"
    He stares at her.
    Belinda looks at Dinah, "I'm your daughter after all. And whoever my father is must be pretty messed up too. Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me."
    Belinda begins to walk out the door.
    Mallet looks at her, "Belinda stop."
    Dinah shouts, "Belinda!"
    Belinda walks out.
    Dinah and Mallet look at each other.



    Bauer Garage Apartment:

    She smiles, "Aww."
    He opens the container.
    She looks in, "Chocolate covered strawberries?"
    He nods, "Made them myself. I'm getting pretty corny huh?"
    She laughs, "No it's so sweet..."
    He sighs, "But?"
    She nods, "I'm really trying to get back to my healthy diet."
    He shakes his head, "You look great."
    She sighs, "You don't get it Dalton. I was obese most of my life. I'm always at risk to go back to that."
    He looks at her, "However you look I'm going to love you. But I want you to be happy and enjoy the little things in life. I love you Ashlee."

    She kisses him again.
    He looks down at her stomach.
    She sighs, "Sorry I'm probably punching you in the gut right now."
    He rubs her stomach, "No. Don't worry about it."
    She looks up at him, "Talk about coming with baggage."
    He shakes his head, "No. I'd be honored to be a part of your life while you go through this Stephanie. And I'll be there for you in any way that you let me."
    She laughs, "Wow."
    He stares, "What?"
    She sighs, "I'm waiting for the part where Oprah shows up. That's usually where I realize it's a dream."

    Stephanie walks towards her, "Susan. You're the only person who knows what I've been through this year. What we have been through. You're not going anywhere."

    Dinah scoffs, "No."
    Mallet looks at her, "She is ready to find out that Cyrus Foley is her biological father. She knows Cyrus from when he was dating Harley. It might not be so bad."
    Dinah looks at him, "Yeah. She was so pleased to find out that I killed RJ's father. Now she can find out that the guy that ran down his sister was her uncle."
    Mallet sighs, "She has a right to know."
    Dinah gets up, "I don't think she needs to know."

    Mallet looks at her, "No one?"
    Dinah sighs, "Well..."
    Mallet stares, "What?"
    She nods, "Annie Dutton was the one who helped me blackmail Cyrus into signing away all rights and the contract that he would never tell Belinda who he was."
    He looks at her, "And do you think Annie Dutton is a good person to keep a secret with? The woman who is rotting a jail cell right now."
    Dinah looks at him, "I trusted her at the time."

    Coop sighs, "You heard him Kevin-"
    Kevin shouts, "Shut up! I don't need to hear your voice!"
    Jason gets up, "Calm down Bro."
    Kevin shouts, "I was calm then all of these disgusting hypocrites started turning on me!"
    Eden looks at Jason, "You see? This is who he is!"
    Kevin yells at her, "Shut your mouth you ugly nasty bitch!"

    He smiles, "You have so much hate in you don't you Marah?"
    She nods, "Yes."
    He looks at her, "You want to keep unleashing it. Because holding it in is slowly eating away at you. Making you even more angry and dark."
    She sighs, "Yes."
    Edmund looks at her, "You see that's the problem with women. They let their emotions screw everything up. They have a great plan and then change their minds halfway through executing it."
    Marah sighs, "Maybe I just have a heart."
    He laughs, "Nope that's not it."
    She looks at him, "What do you want Edmund?"
    He shakes his head, "No. What do you want? Do you want to be thrown in prison? Or do you want me to help you continue placing the blame on Annie?"
    She stares, "Why would you do that for me?"
    He nods, "There is the question."
    Marah stares in confusion.
    Edmund smirks, "You hate your family for what they turned you into."
    She sighs, "I don't hate-"
    He shushes her, "Yes you do. And I hate your family for what they have done to me over the years. Don't you see?"
    Marah shakes her head, "No."
    He smiles, "You will."
    Marah looks at him, "What do I have to do?"
    He smiles, "No. What do we have to do? Because by the time we are finished the entire Lewis dynasty name will be nothing come tumbling down."
    Marah stares into Edmund's dark eyes.

    Ross stares, "What?"

    Ross shakes his head, "No he's not. I'm worried about him."
    Jason nods, "Me too. Rocky is afraid of him. All of my roommates are afraid of him. And frankly so am I."
    Ross nods, "I know what you mean. I see so much of... I just see a lot of anger in him. I know it's partially my fault. But Kevin's always had problems like that."
    Jason sighs, "I don't know what to do."
    Ross looks at him, "I love you and your brother. But he needs help, help that you cannot give him."

    Kevin walks up behind him, "Wow. Unbelievable."

    She stares at him, "What kind of people?"
    He nods, "A Jew or something?"
    She sighs, "I'm an Atheist."
    He stares, "Oh... why?"
    She scoffs, "Why does everyone ask that? Like there has to be some horrible reason for why I'm an Atheist? Like something must have happened to make me think that. It can't possibly just be my sense of logic?"
    He sighs, "Sorry."
    She stares, "Everyone thinks I'm heartless anyways. Like I have no emotions."
    He stares, "Are you?"
    Spencer looks out at the town.
    She sighs, "Sometimes I feel like maybe there's something wrong with me. Like I'm missing some sort of shield or filter. I feel everything deeper than people are supposed to. That's why I don't love people anymore. It hurts like hell. I would rather spend the rest of my life alone then have to feel the burden of loving another human being."
    He stares, "So you're alone on Christmas by choice?"
    She nods, "Yep. I told my Dad that I was spending Christmas with my Father. And I told my Father that I was spending Christmas with my Dad."
    He looks at her, "I'm confused."

    Stephanie smiles.
    Bridget looks at them, "Congratulations Stephanie."
    Stephanie nods, "Thank you."
    Bridget looks at her son, "Would you help me get the gifts out of the car?"
    Peter walks out with his mother.
    Bridget sighs, "When were you going to tell me about this?"
    Peter sighs, "I just did."
    Bridget looks at him, "Peter. This is a big deal. Do you realize that?"
    He looks at her, "It doesn't have to be."
    Bridget nods, "Uh yeah it does. She is pregnant."
    Peter stares, "But I didn't get her pregnant."
    Bridget sighs, "But you are her boyfriend. And you love helping people. It's one of your greatest qualities Peter. I love that about you."
    He looks at her, "But?"
    She sighs, "You are going to get attached to this baby."
    He shakes his head, "You don't know what you're talking about."
    Bridget stares, "Excuse me? I just adopted a beautiful son and I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to loving a child that isn't biologically yours."
    He nods, "So?"
    She nods, "I also know what it's like when a young girl is pregnant and someone offers to help her. She is going to make decisions she regrets later. I am trying to stop you before you get hurt."
    Peter looks at his mother.
    He turns and looks through the window at Stephanie.

    The Spauldings all stand together.
    Everyone is holding glasses.
    Phillip looks at his family, "This has been a very crazy year for our family."
    Alex laughs, "I would say it's an average year for this family Darling."
    Natalia looks at Alexandra.
    Phillip nods, "Maybe so. But we certainly have been through a lot. We've gained new family, and we have lost family. We also had a lot of family come home."
    Beth smiles at her husband.
    He puts his arm around her, "I love my wife and all of my children, my grandchildren, and the rest of my family. Merry Christmas everyone."
    Everyone toasts.
    Natalia smiles, "I'm very happy to be a part of this family. Thank you all for being so welcoming."
    Phillip nods, "Of course Natalia. You are family."
    Alexandra nods, "It's only a question of whether you want to be or not."
    Phillip sighs, "The Spaulding family has been through a lot. But I say we dedicate the next year to change. We all lay low, avoid scandal, and change the meaning of the name Spaulding."
    Alexandra nods, "No I'll toast to that."
    Phillip grins, "Nothing is stopping our family from recovering.
    Suddenly a group of people with cameras walk in.
    Alex looks over, "What is going on?"
    The family is shushed.
    Everyone looks around.
    The camera focuses on the doorway.

    Liz walks in with her son.
    She smiles, "Merry Christmas everyone."
    Phillip looks at the cameras, "What is going on?"
    The camera man whispers, "We're taping a reality show. Just pretend like we aren't here."
    Liz smiles at her very confused family.

    Mallet and Dinah's House:
    Kevin looks at his father.
    Ross sighs, "Can we not do this here?"
    Kevin nods, "We already are."
    Jason looks at him, "Come on man."
    Kevin shakes his head, "Shut up."
    Kevin stares at Ross.
    Ross sighs, "I know you're going through a lot right now. And I'm sorry. But you cannot keep blaming other people for your actions Kevin. It's not healthy."
    Kevin scoffs, "You're telling me what's healthy? You abandon your family, make us think you're dead, spend years hiding from us, then suddenly show up. And now you're telling me what's healthy?"
    Blake walks over, "Kevin you need to calm down. Let's go outside."
    Kevin shakes his head, "No."
    Blake puts her hand on his shoulder, "Kevin-"
    He pulls away, "No. Get your hands off of me!"
    Blake sighs, "Kevin please."
    He looks at his Dad, "This is what you wanted right? I'm the only one who isn't ready to forgive you so you decide to make everyone think I'm crazy?"
    Ross shakes his head, "No. I would never do that."
    Kevin looks around, "Well I got news for you. You can all go to hell."
    Dinah sighs, "Kevin."
    Kevin walks to the door, "Merry Christmas."
    He tears down some of the decorations as he leaves.
    He slams the door behind him.
    The Marler family stands around and looks at each other.


    Police Station:

    Annie sits in her cell.
    She was hoping to be able to sleep most of the day and not have to deal with facing a Christmas alone.
    The woman in the cell next to her is staring at her.
    Annie is trying to ignore it.
    Finally Annie looks at her, "What?"
    The woman scoffs, "Merry Christmas to you too."
    Annie rolls her eyes.
    The woman replies in her raspy voice, "I'm Cindy."
    Annie nods, "I didn't ask."
    Cindy sighs, "You're cheerful. What are you in here for?"
    Annie shakes her head, "I'm innocent."
    Cindy laughs.
    Annie looks at her, "It's true."
    Cindy stares, "Listen, do you have any idea how hard it is to frame somebody? Pretty impossible to frame someone who is completely innocent. No. You had to have a little bit of blood on your hands to be put in here."
    Annie sighs, "All I ever wanted was love and a family. I thought I had it again... but she was like a daughter to me. And she needed me. If she could love me like a mother I wasn't going to let that go. So I helped her... I risked everything to help her out. But she decided to screw it all up and go with some guy. So we turned on each other and she stabbed me in the back. And that is why I'm here."
    Cindy keeps staring at her.
    Annie scoffs, "It's not the fact that I'm in here that upsets me. Because I've been here a million times. It's the fact that she could do it to me. She never really loved me the way I thought she did. I gave up everything for her."
    Cindy nods, "But don't you of all people know that bad deeds catch up to you eventually? Won't her mistakes come back to haunt her?"
    Annie shakes her head, "Ordinarily that would make me happy. But for some reason I still care about her. I get to have all the maternal feelings and receive nothing back."
    Cindy laughs, "That's what being a Mom is all about sometimes."
    Annie stares, "I don't have energy to hate her today, or her Dad, or even... her real Mother."
    Cindy nods, "Merry Christmas Annie."
    Annie lays down and looks at the ceiling.

    Cross Creek:
    Bill stands with his father Billy.
    Billy looks at him, "You okay?"
    Bill nods, "Yeah I'm great. I just wish Olivia could have been here."
    Billy sighs, "I know. But when you're an alcoholic these are some of the things you might want to avoid. The holidays can be the brightest times but they can also be the darkest."
    Bill nods, "It's hard for me to see it that way."
    Billy nods, "Well it's hard for anyone who isn't like that to see it that way Son. I may not have always cared for Olivia but I do know what she is going through. And she is apparently handling it better than I did."
    Bill sighs, "I just wish she didn't have to go through it."
    Billy puts his arm around him, "Well she has you. And trust me, someone who loves you and supports you can get you through just about anything."
    Vanessa walks over, "What are you two talking about?"
    Billy puts his other arm around her, "Why you Beautiful."
    The two kiss.
    Bill smiles at his parents.
    Across the room Shayne and Ava stand together.
    Shayne looks around, "I have a couple of gifts I'd like to give out."
    Ava pulls out two gift wrapped boxes.
    Shayne grins, "Mom, Dad, would you come over?"
    Josh and Reva sit on the couch next to each other.
    Both smiling.
    Shayne hands one to Josh.
    Ava hands the other to Reva.
    Shayne holds his phone and records the two opening their gifts.
    The two take off the wrapping paper and open up the boxes.
    They pull out picture frames.
    Josh keeps turning his photo, "What is this?"
    Reva stares, her eyes get teary.
    Her jaw drops, "Oh my God? Is this?"
    Josh starts grinning.
    Reva jumps up, "Oh my God!"
    She throws her arms around Shayne and Ava.
    Josh stands up.
    The Lewis family comes closer and sees the framed sonograms that were given to Josh and Reva.

    Bauer Home:
    The Bauer family is still exchanging gifts.
    Mel holds little Freddie on her lap.
    Rick sits with her, "Look at him. He's having the time of his life."
    Mel smiles, "He's still too young to appreciate the holiday."
    Rick looks at her, "Well we have plenty of years to look forward to for that."
    Mel grins, "Yeah we do."
    He holds her hand, "This has been a rough year Mel. But I honestly believe what doesn't kill us makes us stronger."
    Mel smiles, "I think so too."
    The two kiss.
    Over in the kitchen.
    Michelle stands with J in the doorway.
    She looks at him, "Are you coming in?"
    He shakes his head, "I can't stay long."
    She holds her gift, "So I'm supposed to open this now in front of you right? That's what you're saying?"
    He laughs, "I guess so."
    She slowly opens her gift.
    J watches her.
    She holds a book.
    She flips through the blank pages, "What is this?"
    He grins, "Something for you to write in."
    She stares at him.
    He sighs, "You have a lot to say Michelle, I know that. You just never want to say it. So I thought maybe this coming year you could start saying it in here."
    He puts his hand on the book he raises it to her chest over her heart.
    She stares at him, "J..."
    He smiles at her.
    Michelle steps closer to him.
    The two kiss.

  4. JAYJAY
    Everyone is in for a surprise in Springfield...



    Company:


    The Coopers are all getting together to welcome Frank and Eleni back on their visit to Springfield.
    Frank and Eleni are happy to be back.

    Harley hugs them, "How have you guys been? How's California?"
    Eleni smiles, "It's amazing what a difference the change made in our relationship. Things are so much better now."
    Frank smiles, "I couldn't be happier."
    Buzz nods, "Well I'm proud to see my Son and my daughter in law have finally made it work."

    Lucy and David walk in with Davey.
    Frank walks over, "Hey you guys."
    The all hug.
    Frank looks at little Davey, "Hey little guy, it's your Uncle Frank. Wow I haven't seen you in a while."
    Eleni smiles, "Oh Lucy he's such a beautiful boy."
    Frank looks at him, "He's got that Cooper smile. You know he really does look like a Cooper, it's amazing isn't it?"
    Lucy starts to hold Davey close, "Yes, well we are one very happy family. I'm very blessed."
    Harley looks at Buzz, "Hey Daddy. Where's Rocky at? I figured he'd be here by now?"
    Buzz shakes his head, "Beats me."
    The Coopers all catch up.



    Gazebo:


    Rocky sits by himself.
    It's getting cold out but he doesn't mind it.

    Kevin walks up to him, "Hey. Didn't expect to see you here."
    Rocky nods, "Yeah. You either."
    Kevin laughs, "You're a bad liar. You know this is where I like to go and think."
    Rocky smiles, "I've always had a hard time lying to you about things. Mr. Journalist."
    Kevin grins, "Officer Cooper."
    Rocky nods, "We decided a while ago that us being together would have prevented us from making our other dreams come true. Like our careers. But now I'm a Cop for the Springfield Police Department. You are going to journalism school in Missouri. Things worked out well for each of us. You think we made the right choice?"
    Kevin sits by him, "Apparently. I mean you seem pretty happy. Must be your new boyfriend."
    Rocky shakes his head, "We broke up. I just wasn't able to really get close to him."
    Kevin sighs, "Sorry to hear that. But oddly enough, I've been staying single. Focusing on school."
    Rocky grins, "I figured you'd find someone else."
    Kevin looks down, "There's no one else."
    Rocky smiles at him.



    Spaulding Mansion:


    Lorelei (Beth) walks down the hallway.
    Liz approaches her, "Mom."
    She turns, "Yes sweetheart?"
    Liz stares at her, "Mom don't you think this has all gone on long enough? Remy can't even see Clayton anymore. Clay will grow up without even knowing who his father is."
    Lorelei sighs, "Oh honey, I know this all seems tough, but I know Remy's type. He wants to run your life for you. And he's going to convince you to turn your back on us."
    Liz shakes her head, "So it's okay for you to watch Granddad control my life? He is blackmailing me and Remy into staying a part. He is holding so much over our heads, threatening lives, things have been out of control ever since Natalia-"
    She stops her, "No. Lizzie, we all know what happened. A lot has happened. But at the end of the day your Grandfather loves us. He is supporting us and protecting us."
    Liz stares at her, "Oh my God! Are you like falling for him again? I mean I get that you had issues when Daddy was gone, but Mom I thought you snapped out of that."
    Lorelei sighs, "Lizzie... Your Grandfather and I have an understanding. I'm not sure where this is leading but for now, I trust him. We are Spauldings Lizzie and sometimes that title comes with sacrifices."
    Liz scoffs, "Well I hope your sacrifices are worth it."
    Liz walks away.


    Company:


    Coop is outside.
    He's getting ready to go in to see everyone when he hears his name being called.
    He turns around.

    Eden comes up to him, "Henry."
    His mouth drops, "Mary..."
    She walks up to him, "Henry, you look just as handsome as the first day we met. Or I guess you go by Coop."
    He nods, "Yeah how did you.... never mind. What are you doing here? I got the papers."
    She sighs, "I came here for a divorce but... seeing you here. I just remember that night we met. All the things you said to me. You made me feel like one of those women from the books I've read."
    A car pulls up outside.
    Coop takes her up to the boarding house.
    Inside Frank and Eleni are filling everyone in on what they've been up to.
    David and Lucy are playing with their little boy.

    Harley turns and looks at the window.
    She sees Cyrus outside.
    Harley excuses herself and goes out the back to see him.

    Just then Marina walks in.
    Eleni and Frank run over.
    Eleni hugs her, "Oh Marina baby! I was hoping you would be here today. Oh honey."
    Frank holds her tight, "Honey I know you don't want to talk about a lot but we really want to talk to you."
    Marina nods, "I have a lot to tell you guys."
    Lucy's heart is racing.


    Reva Bend:


    Reva invited her family over.
    Josh and Shayne are already there.

    Cassie walks in, "Hey Sis, what's this big news?"
    Reva smiles, "We have to wait until everyone gets here."
    Cassie sees Josh and Shayne, "Everyone? I didn't realize it was a whole family thing."
    Reva looks around, "You didn't bring Jeffrey?"
    Cassie sighs, "We need to talk-"
    The door opens.

    Marah and Jeffrey walk in.
    Marah smiles, "Hey Mom."
    All eyes are on the two of them.
    Reva looks at her, "Uh..."
    Marah sighs, "I know it's complicated. But Jeffrey and I decided to try and make things work. For the baby's sake. It just makes more sense. We all agreed."
    Reva looks at Cassie who is looking at the floor.
    Shayne decides to change the subject, "Well Mom you said Roxie was busy so just tell us now."
    Reva smiles, "Oh yes. Well I didn't want to tell anyone until we were completly sure. But as of this morning when my final tests came in from Noah. I'm Cancer Free!"
    Everyone jumps.
    Cassie smiles, "Reva! Oh my God! That's fantastic."
    A tearful Shayne hugs his mother.
    Marah grins, "Mom that's amazing."
    Josh smiles, "I'm so happy Reva."
    She looks at him, "Not as happy as I am Bud."
    The whole family is caught up in the happy moment.



    Cedars:


    Doris is sitting in the waiting room.
    Rick comes out.
    Doris jumps up, "Oh Rick! Tell me Ashlee is going to be okay! Tell me she's okay."
    Rick sighs, "She's stable. We won't know much until she wakes up. She's fallen into a coma. But that was a pretty bad fall she took. Luckily that waiter found her when he did."
    Doris sighs, "So you're sure she fell down the stairs, I mean is there anyway to find out if she was pushed or thrown?"
    Rick stares, "Why do you think it's possible?"
    She sighs, "I don't know... look can I see her now?"
    Rick nods, "She's resting, but yes. You may."
    Doris wipes her tears, "Thank you Rick."
    Doris goes into Ashlee's room.
    Ashlee is laying in the bed.
    She simply looks like she's only sleeping.
    Doris cries, "Oh Ashlee, this is all my fault. My one fear has always been that you would pay for my mistakes. I swear I thought I was doing the right thing all those years ago. If I had any idea what it would lead to maybe... I don't know."
    The door opens.

    Roxie Shayne walks in, "Doris-"
    Doris grabs her, "You!"
    Roxie tries to talk calmly, "Doris I need to explain."
    Doris shakes her head, "You have no idea what you've done. You are going to be so sorry you did this."
    Roxie is worried that she'll never find her son now.

    PART TWO:

    Spaulding Mansion:

    Liz sits in the living room.
    She can't believe how little control she has over her own life.

    Rafe walks in, "Hey."
    She sighs, "Hi."
    He sits by her, "I'm sorry that things didn't work out with the whole Remy thing."
    She nods, "Thanks for trying."
    Rafe sighs, "It's been a rough year for both of us I think. I have absolutely no idea where my Mom and little brother are."
    Liz nods, "I don't want this to come out wrong, but I'm glad Natalia got herself and the baby away from Alan. Even though it probably killed her inside. I don't think anyone loved my Granddad more than she did."
    Rafe sighs, "Well if it wasn't for Aunt Alex, things would be a lot worse right now."
    Liz nods, "And now Granddad won't let Alex back into the house. She never even comes to town anymore. This whole house is just empty now. But I can't wait to get out of here."
    Rafe sighs, "Yep. Soon it'll be me, your Mom, her kids, and Alan. All in this big house."
    She looks at him, "Why do you still want to stay here? You've seen what happened to me, Gus, Alan Michael, my Dad, Aunt Alex, there's a reason why none of them live here."
    Rafe sighs, "Well as of now, I have nothing to lose."
    Liz worries about her cousin.

    Gazebo:
    Kevin and Rocky are still sitting.
    Rocky is staring at Kevin.
    Kevin laughs, "What?"
    Rocky smiles, "You look so good in your coat."
    Kevin shakes his head, "Only you could find a way to compliment me even when I'm all covered up."
    Rocky grins, "I've missed you."
    Kevin nods, "I miss you too."
    Rocky sighs, "I miss making you laugh and smile, especially when you don't want to. I miss being around you. And even all the little things like holding your hand."
    Kevin smiles, "I've never met anyone who makes me feel so good about myself. No one makes me feel the way you make me feel."
    Rocky sighs, "This sucks. Because I am already running late for a party at Company."
    Kevin sighs, "Another moment ruined."
    Rocky smiles, "Not entirely."
    Kevin scoots closer.
    Rocky takes a hold of his hand and kisses it.
    Kevin looks into Rocky's eyes.

    Out on the street Blake is driving by in her car.
    She turns and sees them.
    She watches her son in a close embrace with another boy.
    Blake soon recognizes Rocky.
    Blake finally realizes what has been going on with her son.

    Company:
    Eden is in the boarding house with Coop.
    They're in his room.
    Eden takes his hand, "I don't know Coop. I mean maybe we should just sign the papers."
    He shakes his head, "Why so you can leave again? I didn't even get a goodbye or an explanation."
    She sighs, "Henry I know you don't understand everything right now but I really had a good reason."
    Coop shakes his head, "Then please tell me!"
    Eden doesn't know where to begin, "Well for starters... my name is not Mary. It's Eden."
    Outside Harley walks over to Cyrus, "What are you doing here?"
    He turns to her, "Wow. Harley."
    She shakes her head, "What did you come here to see me? Because I moved on Cyrus."
    He sighs, "No Harley I didn't come here to see you."
    She looks at him, "Then why are you here Cyrus? What are you doing in Springfield?"
    Cyrus sees everyone through the window.
    He walks past Harley inside.
    Harley follows him, "What?"
    Cyrus walks in.
    All of the Cooper's stare.
    Frank is not happy to see him, "Foley."
    Lucy shouts, "No, get him out of here."
    Marina reaches into her purse and pulls out the gun, "Freeze Cyrus!"
    Everyone stares in shock.

    Reva Bend:
    Everyone is so excited for Reva's news.
    Reva pulls Cassie aside.
    Cassie hugs her, "I'm so happy for you Sis."
    Reva looks at her, "Well I'm a little confused. When did you dump Jeffrey?"
    She stares, "How did you know I dumped him?"
    Reva sighs, "Jeffrey never would have left you."
    Cassie sighs, "I just think Marah and her baby deserve happiness."
    Reva nods, "I do too. I love my daughter. But if Jeffrey doesn't love her the way he loves you then this is all going to blow up in Marah's face. I don't want that to happen."
    Jeffrey sits with Marah.
    She smiles, "Jeffrey, this is turning out to be a really good day. And I'm so happy I could share it with you."
    He nods, "Well I just want things to be good for you and for our baby. I hope you know that."
    She smiles, "I think so. But I mean how long? How long until you decide you're over it?"
    Jeffrey sighs, "What do I have to do to reassure you that I'm not going to do that?"
    Shayne and Josh are sitting across the room.
    Shayne looks at him, "I'm getting really worried about Marah."
    Josh nods, "Oh I hear ya. I just feel like she is not doing as well as she is trying to make us believe. She actually is reminding me of... never mind."
    Shayne looks at him, "Who?"
    Marah stands up, "Everyone! Everyone! Listen!"
    Everybody looks at Marah.
    Jeffrey himself looks puzzled.
    Marah smiles, "Jeffrey and I are getting married!"
    The room is silent.
    Cassie looks at Jeffrey who clearly looks as surprised as everyone else.

    Cedars:
    Doris is shaking Roxie.
    Roxie tries to stop her, "Doris you don't understand. I've been desperate. My child was taken away from me! It's been practically decades now! I never got to hold him or see him. All I did was hear him cry and then they took him out of the room."
    Doris shakes her head, "You have no idea! You have no idea!"
    Roxie nods, "Maybe now you know what's it's like!"
    Doris slaps her, "You shut up! You don't know what you've done Roxie! You have no idea!"
    Roxie looks at her, "Why do you keep saying that?"
    Doris grabs her, "I didn't just throw your child away. I wasn't going to let that baby end up in foster care. I knew how messed up your doctors were. That's why I knew I had to make sure the baby was safe."
    Roxie scoffs, "Safe? Safe?"
    Doris nods, "And they lied to you. It wasn't a boy. It was a girl. It was a little girl that I took in and loved as if she were my own daughter. My own daughter."
    Roxie backs away, "No. No."
    Doris nods, "Yeah. Your daughter, my daughter."
    Roxie shakes her head, "No she can't be daughter."
    Doris and Roxie both turn and look at Ashlee.

    Company:
    Eden is starting to explain to Coop.
    He hears all the commotion inside.
    He turns, "Hold on."
    Coop runs in.
    Marina is holding a gun on Cyrus.
    Lucy and David pick up Davey.
    Harley looks at her, "Marina what are you doing sweetheart? Why do you have that gun?"
    Marina looks at Cyrus, "I want answers."
    Cyrus nods, "I know."
    Frank looks at them, "What's going on Baby? What did Foley do?"
    Marina is pointing the gun, "Tell me where Daniel is Cyrus! Tell me where my son is!"
    Eleni looks at her, "Oh God Marina! Honey, Daniel is dead."
    Marina shouts, "No! Daniel didn't die in that fire did he Cyrus! I remember now! Aubrey took him from me before she set the house on fire! Then she ran off with him."
    Buzz stares, "What?"
    Marina looks at Cyrus, "Tell them it's true."
    Cyrus nods, "It's true."
    Franks looks at him, "What?"
    Marina shouts, "Tell me where my son is!"
    Cyrus looks at Davey, "He's right there."
    Marina is confused, "What?"
    Cyrus nods, "Davey. Davey Grant isn't who you think he is. He is Daniel Cooper Santos. You are his biological mother. Davey is Daniel, Daniel is Davey. He is your son Marina."
    Marina turns to Davey.
    Frank and Eleni are in shock.
    Buzz and the rest of the Coopers turn to David, Lucy, and Davey.
    Marina finally sees her son Daniel!!!

    The new year has begun in Springfield...



    Lewis Enterprises:


    Edmund is moving his stuff into the CEO office.
    Marah follows him.
    He smiles, "Can you believe it Marah? Things are finally looking up for us."
    She shakes her head, "I don't know about that."
    He stares, "Are you still bitter that we had to knock your family down a peg? I really thought you would be over that by now. I sure am."
    She turns to him, "Did you see the looks on their faces when I voted for you? They were heart broken. I am the worst daughter in the world."
    He walks up behind her and starts massaging her, "Hey, calm down. Sometimes we have to hurt the people we love. That's just a part of life. Survival of the fittest."
    Marah shakes her head, "Not like this."
    He smirks, "Would you rather your family know that you were responsible for Ava's kidnapping? Just imagine their faces then. You would be an instant outcast for life."
    She turns and looks at him, "Like you?"
    He nods, "Exactly."
    She looks into Edmund's eyes.
    He brushes her hair.
    The two kiss.
    They hear someone clear their throat.

    They turn to see Reva standing in the doorway.
    She looks at them, "Sorry if I'm interrupting."
    Marah sighs, "Mom..."
    Reva walks towards her, "I honestly don't know what to say right now. Quite frankly I'm surprised. I never thought you could do something like this."
    Marah sighs, "Mom I..."
    Edmund smiles, "Marah is capable of a lot more than you give her credit for."
    She turns to him, "Edmund!"
    Reva stares, "What the hell does that mean?"
    He grins, "Marah is a smart, independent, free thinker. She doesn't need to follow the herd like the rest of your family Reva. She is out of your control."
    Reva looks at Marah, "You hear the way he talks to me?"
    Marah looks down, "Edmund rubs people the wrong way sometimes."
    Reva stares, "Marah please. Whatever he has on you, I can help you out of it. But first you need to be honest with me. What is going on?"
    Marah looks at her mother and then back at Edmund.


    Police Station:


    Annie sits by herself.
    She is muttering to herself constantly.

    Harley and Gus approach her.
    Harley stares, "Annie."
    Annie looks at her, "Detective Cooper."
    Gus looks at her, "Your trial is coming up soon. Are you sure you don't want to change your story before you go through with it? It could get ugly."
    Annie laughs, "You two are so good at your job huh?"
    Harley stares, "We have a history Annie. I can't pull anything over on you and you can't pull anything over on me. So let's just be up front with each other."
    Annie looks at her, "Uh-huh? So what am I hiding now? I've told you the truth."
    Harley stares, "There is a lot of evidence against you. The only problem is that we are still fuzzy on a possible motive. If you didn't kidnap Ava, then you know who did. Correct?"
    Annie laughs, "I should get my lawyer."
    Harley stares, "Annie. I'm not looking to pin you to the wall. I want to find out who did this. If you know something then you need to tells us."
    Annie looks at her, "I can tell you that being a mother has obviously effected your sense of style."
    Gus stares, "We obviously don't know each other that well."
    She stares, "I know that you're Harley's ex husband. And you had a drug problem."
    Gus nods, "Something we have in common?"
    Annie smiles, "Indeed. Plus you're Alan's son. Another Spaulding huh Harley? Very nice. Why did you two get divorced? Did he cheat on you like all your other husbands?"
    Harley looks away, "I don't know why I tried to help you."
    Annie stares, "Didn't your little brother blow up on New Years Eve? Why don't you go check on him instead of bothering me okay?"
    Harley sighs, "I knew this was pointless. I'll see you in court Annie."
    Gus and Harley walk away.
    Annie laughs to herself.


    Cedars:



    Rocky lies in a hospital bed.
    He has suffered some burns.
    Coop and Eden are in the room with him.

    Dr. J Chamberlain walks in.
    Rocky looks at him, "Hey."
    J nods, "How are you feeling? Is the medication helping?"
    Rocky sighs, "As much as it can."
    J nods, "That's good. You're very lucky the EMT's go to you in time. This could have been a lot worse. As a cop you think you'd know that you're not supposed to run towards a burning car."
    Rocky nods, "Well as a cop I'm supposed to rescue people. I thought my ex boyfriend might be in the car... I don't know. It was an accident."
    Coop scoffs, "Accident. Yeah."
    Rocky looks at him.
    J sighs, "Just take it easy. No more trying to a hero when you're off duty."
    J walks out of the room.
    Coop stands up, "The fact that you're calling this an accident is a little disturbing."
    Rocky sighs, "Kevin didn't mean for this to happen."
    Eden stare, "Rocky he set his car on fire! You could have been killed. Anyone could have been hurt. He knew the risks when he did that."
    Rocky shakes his head, "Kevin is going through a lot right now."
    Coop scoffs, "Yeah hiding from the cops. He's probably on the run if he's smart."
    Rocky sighs, "He's probably scared and upset somewhere."
    Downstairs on the main floor of the hospital.

    Kevin is brushing his teeth in the restroom.
    He dances to the metal rock he hears in his head.
    An old man walks in and stares as Kevin jumps around the restroom.
    Kevin splashes some water on his face.
    He smiles at himself.
    He grabs a present he bought from the gift shop and rushes out of the restroom.


    Carriage House:


    Blake lets Ross inside her house.
    Ross looks at him, "Have you heard anything?"
    Blake sighs, "No and I'm sick to my stomach. Jason and Clarissa say they haven't heard anything from him either. And Rocky is still in the hospital."
    Ross sighs, "Have you heard anything on his condition?"
    Blake nods, "Rocky is hanging in there. I just don't know what I would do if Kevin had indirectly caused Rocky's death. I don't know..."
    Ross looks around, "Where is Clarissa?"
    Blake nods, "On a date with Rafe."
    He looks at her, "You shouldn't be alone."
    She sighs, "You're alone."
    He sighs, "I deserve to be alone."
    Blake shakes her head, "No one does. Especially our son."
    She sits down.
    He sits next to her, "I'm worried about him too. And not just about him being out there hiding from the police. There is something wrong with him Blake."
    Blake sighs, "He's emotional. He always has been. He has mood swings."
    Ross looks at her, "I think there is something else."
    She stares at him, "Why do you say that?"
    He sighs, "Look at his behavior Blake. I know you're his mother and it's hard for you to see the truth about him. But the signs are more obvious than ever."
    Blake shakes her head, "My son is not perfect and he has a lot of things to work out. But you're implying that he's mentally ill or something."
    Ross stares.
    Blake looks at him, "Oh my God. You really think that don't you?"
    Ross and Blake stare at each other.



    Springfield High:


    It's a new semester at Springfield High.
    Marti Lewis stands outside of her school.
    She is bundled up in her winter clothes.
    Her usual smile is now replaced with a blank stare.
    She walks up to the school and goes inside.
    As usual the guys check her out as she walks down the hall.
    Only now Marti feels uncomfortable.

    Leah and James are across the hall.
    Leah rushes over to her, "Hey!"
    Leah gives her a hug.
    Marti sighs, "Hi."
    James smiles, "We weren't sure if you'd be here. Zach said you haven't been feeling well since you got back."
    Leah nods, "Yeah and you haven't been returning my messages. Are you coming to cheer practice tonight? We have basketball season to work on still."
    Marti sighs, "I'm just really busy now. And I don't know if cheering is a smart idea this semester."
    Leah stares, "Huh. Well a part of me is really happy that I'm a shoe in for Cheer Captain senior year. But I'm still going to miss having someone on the squad who is actually good."
    Marti nods, "Sorry."
    Marti walks away.
    Leah and James notice the difference in Marti's personality.
    On the other side of the school.

    Spencer walks down the hallway.
    Robbie approaches her, "Hey."
    She looks at him, "Hi."
    He nods, "So I saw you at Caliente on New Years Eve."
    She nods, "Cool."
    He stares, "Did you have fun?"
    She sighs, "Sure."
    He smiles, "Did you get really wasted?"
    She stops and stares at him for a minute.
    She then continues down the hall.
    Robbie follows.



    Towers:


    Liz is holding Baby Clay.
    Her camera crew is still filming her reality show.
    Her producer looks at her, "You ready to shoot your interview for the voice over segments?"
    She nods, "Oh yeah. Let me just put the little guy down."
    The producer rolls his eyes, "Come on."
    She scoffs, "Excuse me. You're the one who made me fire my Nanny."
    He nods, "She was dull. Besides we can do a whole episode centered around you searching for a new nanny and doing all the interviews."
    Liz sighs, "I suppose."
    Liz takes Clay back to his nursery.
    The one room where cameras are not allowed.
    Liz lays him down in his bed.
    She sighs, "Please sleep for Mommy. I love you so much."
    Liz kisses her son before she leaves the room.
    She shuts the door behind her.
    The closet door opens up.

    Aubrey Cross steps out of it again.
    She switches off the baby monitor.
    Aubrey looks down, "That's some Mom you got there."
    She rubs her hand on Clay's face.
    She smiles, "Look at you. You look so much like your Daddy. Your sister looks like her Daddy too. I should know I helped raise her. Until your Mommy came and took every thing away."
    Aubrey leans down and kisses Baby Clay on the head.
    She slowly tucks her arms underneath him and picks him up.

    PART TWO:

    Lewis Enterprises:
    Reva stands with Marah and Edmund.
    Marah looks at her, "I don't know what to say."
    Reva stares, "Come on Marah. I know you and this isn't you. You wouldn't hurt your family this way. Especially your father who is going through chemo right now."
    Marah sighs, "I do what I have to do. Survival of the fittest."
    Reva scoffs, "Oh my God."
    Marah looks at her, "You don't know me. I'm not Dylan, or Shayne, or Jonathan. I'm didn't give you a bunch of grandchildren, I don't have a natural sweetness, and I don't have some special bond with you. I'm just Marah."
    Reva shakes her head, "I love you. But you're right, I don't know who you are anymore."
    Marah sighs, "I'm Marah Lewis, soon to be Marah Winslow."
    Reva scoffs.
    Edmund smiles, "Just accept it Reva, your daughter has fallen in love with me. And someday we will give you lots of beautiful grandchildren."
    Reva nods, "And in a few months your daughter will give us a grandchild."
    Edmund grins, "It's a little incestual. But when has that ever stopped two people in this family from being in love?"
    She turns away, "I've heard enough."
    Marah sighs, "Mom..."
    Reva looks at her, "I love you. Your family loves you. But honestly... you are breaking all of our hearts. And something like this might literally kill your father."
    Reva has tears in her eyes as she leaves.
    An emotional Marah stands still as Edmund rubs her shoulders.
    He grins, "You were great."
    She nods, "Indeed."
    He kisses her neck, "I love seeing you in action."
    Marah turns around and kisses him back.

    Police Station:


    Harley and Gus are with Mallet.
    He looks at them, "She say anything?"
    Gus sighs, "Nothing useful."
    Mallet shakes his head, "Are you surprised?"
    Harley sighs, "I know what it's like to be accused of a crime you didn't commit. In my case, a crime that never happened in the first place."
    Mallet looks at her, "This is Annie Dutton."
    Harley nods, "I know. But our job is to put the bad guys behind bars. And what if she didn't do it and there is a real kidnapper out there getting away with it?"
    Mallet sighs, "We just have to do the best job we can and hope that everything falls into place. But sometimes everything just falls into all the wrong places."
    Gus nods, "True words my man."
    She shakes her head, "I still have a feeling there is something we're missing."
    Gus scoffs, "Well try bringing that feeling into court and see how far it gets you."
    She scoffs, "Wow thanks for the support Aitoro>"
    Mallet looks at them, "Take your personal divorced business out."
    Harley nods, "I try."
    Gus sighs, "Yeah right."
    Harley looks at him, "My car is in the shop. Can you give me a ride home?"
    He looks at her, "I suppose."
    The two walk out.
    The second the are out of sight, Gus grabs Harley.
    He puts her against the wall and begins kissing her.
    Harley smiles, "Sneaking around is just as fun as it ever was."
    He laughs, "I couldn't agree more."
    The two continue kissing.

    Springfield High:
    Robbie is still following Spencer.
    He smiles, "So what's new with you?"
    She shakes her head, "Nothing."
    He looks at her, "I like the new look. I know most people aren't crazy about the whole goth thing but I really like it. It's kinda cool you know."
    Spencer nods, "Yeah."
    He sighs, "I know I'm probably annoying you right now..."
    Spencer doesn't respond."
    He clears his throat, "... But we were really close friends when we were kids. Back when your Dad was engaged to my Mom. And so I thought maybe we could hang out now. Catch up."
    She looks at him, "You can do anything you want."
    He looks at her, "Well maybe you can come with me to a party this weekend? Everyone from school is going to be there and they're supposed to get a keg."
    She stares at him.
    He looks at her, "What?"
    She laughs, "That's not my scene. A bunch of teenagers, in their preppy mall clothes, dancing to hip hop, taking pictures of themselves with alcohol to put on facebook... no thanks."
    He stares, "Well what is your scene?"
    She smirks, "If you have to ask, odds are you'll never understand."
    Spencer walks away.
    As she walks Robbie notices the cuts on her wrist that is sticking out of her long sleeved shirt.
    On the other side of the school.
    Marti is in her locker.
    She stares at herself in the mirror.
    She can still feel Gavin holding her down on the bed.
    Suddenly she feels someone standing behind her.
    She looks in her mirror.
    Marti jumps and turns around.
    Belinda is standing behind her, "Hey Oklahoma. Welcome back. We have business to settle."
    A scared Marti stares back at her.


    Towers:
    Liz stares into the camera for her interview.
    She sighs, "So I am now without a Nanny and I just don't know what to do. So I'm thinking that I have to start auditioning different Nannys."
    The producer interrupts, "Liz. Very good, but make it sound more exciting. I mean we have some interesting people lined up for this episode."
    Liz clears her throat, "Okay... So now I am basically without a Nanny. And oh my God, I don't know what I am going to do at this point. So now I'm thinking, I need to audition Nannys."
    The producer nods, "Great, great. Can we fix her make up?"
    The make up artist comes to touch up Liz."
    Liz looks around, "Clay isn't crying is he?"
    Inside the nursery.
    Aubrey sits in the rocking chair holding Clay.
    She smiles, "Look at you. Beautiful little boy."
    Aubrey kisses him on the head.
    She slowly rocks back and forth.
    She hums a tune to the little boy.
    She slowly stands up and walks around the room.
    Aubrey stops and stares in the mirror.
    She smiles, "Look at us. Beautiful huh?"
    She walks back over to the crib.
    Aubrey gives him another kiss on the head before she gently lays him back down.
    She hears Liz walking towards the door.
    Aubrey quietly walks back into the large closet and closes it.
    She sits down and crawls behind the boxes.
    She listens as Liz checks on her son.

    Carriage House:
    Blake is with Ross on the couch.
    She stands up, "I cannot believe what I am hearing."
    He looks at her, "I know that you're his mother-"
    She looks at him, "Oh stop it! Like you're one to talk. Your daughter is a psychopath who killed my brother and you never saw her for what she was."
    He shakes his head, "This is not about Dinah."
    Blake looks at him, "Exactly. Because if it was you wouldn't be as hard on her as you are on Kevin."
    Ross stands up, "That's not fair."
    Blake nods, "I agree. They are both your children. Kevin hasn't killed anybody."
    Ross shakes his head, "I love all of my children. Dinah, Jason, Kevin, and Clarissa are the most important people in my life. Nothing will ever change that."
    Blake turns away.
    He sighs, "I know you hate hearing this... but Kevin is really starting to remind me of your father and I want to save him before anything escalates to that level."
    Blake looks at him, "I cannot believe you just said that."
    Ross nods, "The similarities are frightening to say the least."
    She walks towards him, "Kevin is nothing like my father."
    Ross looks at her, "Maybe whatever Roger was going through in his life was hereditary."
    She shouts, "My father wasn't mentally ill and my son isn't mentally ill!"
    He looks at her, "Is that really what you want to believe? Because I believe that no one is entirely good or bad. Kevin is not a villain. There is something wrong."
    She walks away, "I'm not listening to this."
    Ross stares, "Blake please..."
    She opens the door, "Get out. Now."
    Ross walks towards the door, "When I was listing the most important people in my life, that includes you Blake. Please don't shut me out."
    Blake stares at Ross and he stands in the doorway.

    Cedars:
    Rocky is resting in his hospital bed.
    Coop and Eden are still with him.
    Coop stares, "You're unbelievable sometimes you know that."
    Rocky turns away, "Aren't you supposed to be at work? Because I'm pretty sure Jude said it was the first day of the new semester today."
    Coop looks at him, "I took the day off to be with you."
    Rocky sighs, "Well maybe you shouldn't have."
    Coop scoffs, "Maybe you're right."
    Coop storms out.
    Eden stands, "Coop."
    She turns back to Rocky.
    Rocky sighs, "Why won't anyone accept the fact that I know Kevin better than they do. And I'm not going to just write him off and let him be on his own."
    Eden nods, "I know how you feel Rocky. You can't choose who you fall in love with. I just got lucky enough to fall in love with your brother this time around."
    Eden walks out.
    Rocky lays there for a few minutes.
    Eventually he hears footsteps.
    He sighs, "Coop just go to work."
    Rocky turns around.
    Kevin is standing in his room.
    Rocky stares at him.
    Downstairs in the hospital.

    Coop approaches Ashlee.
    He looks at her, "Have you got the results back yet?"
    Ashlee sighs, "I did..."
    He sighs, "Okay. Well none of my roommates know I found pills in our apartment even my wife, so remember to keep this on the down low."
    She nods, "Of course..."
    He stares, "What? What kind of pills were they?"
    Ashlee hands him the paper work.
    He looks through, "I don't know... what is this? I can't even pronounce these words."
    Ashlee sighs, "They aren't illegal drugs Coop... they're for treatment."
    He stares, "Treatment for what."
    Ashlee sighs, "HIV."
    Coop stares at her.
    She nods, "One of your roommates is infected with HIV."
    Coop stares in shock.

    Annie shouts, "I'm going crazy in here!"

    Edmund and Marah walk in.
    Edmund smiles, "You passed crazy a long time ago Annie."
    She stares, "Well look who it is."
    Marah stares back at her.
    Annie smirks, "You here to confess? They'll go easier if you turn yourself in but either way you're still going down Marah. We're about to trade spots."
    Marah smiles, "You're really lost it haven't you?"
    Annie looks at Edmund.
    He is smiling.
    She shakes her head, "What the hell is going on?"
    She notices the two are holding hands.
    Annie scoffs, "No. What the hell? Edmund I told you everything and you were supposed to help take Marah down. What are you two sleeping together again?"
    Marah holds up her hand.
    She flashes her engagement ring.
    Annie stares.
    She looks at Edmund, "You double crossing son of a bitch!"
    Marah and Edmund back up.
    Edmund chuckles, "Just when I thought you couldn't get any more vicious."
    Annie shakes her head, "You two deserve each other you know that? I can only imagine what Josh and Reva think of this little engagement."
    Edmund laughs, "I've made quite and impression on the Lewis family."
    Annie shakes her head, "What the hell does that mean?"
    Marah looks at her, "You haven't heard?"
    Annie sighs, "Unless the cops are talking about it I don't know anything."
    Marah turns to Edmund.
    Edmund smiles at Annie, "You are looking at the CEO of Lewis Enterprises."
    Annie's jaw drops.



    Cedars:


    Rocky and Kevin are in his room.
    Kevin smiles, "Hi."
    Rocky stares, "What are you doing?"
    Kevin hands him a gift, "I bought this for you."
    Rocky shakes his head, "I don't want this."
    Kevin grins, "Come on! I spent the last of my money on it. I pawned most of my stuff to buy you guys those presents. And everything else got destroyed in the fire. Plus I'm sure I've lost my job by now."
    Rocky sighs, "My God. Where have you been staying?"
    Kevin sits on Rocky's bed, "Here and there."
    Rocky shakes his head, "You look terrible."
    Kevin looks at him, "You're not one to talk."
    Rocky scoffs, "You did this to me!"
    Kevin sighs, "I felt horrible when I found out what happened. My whole world was shattered. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you Rocky."
    Rocky stares, "You seem fine now."
    Kevin nods, "When I found out you were okay... I felt something come over me. Rocky I thought you had fallen out of love with me. But you ran towards that car to save me. Now I know that you love me and you always will."
    Rocky stares, "Are you really serious? That's all you've gotten from this?"
    Kevin looks at him, "Am I wrong?"
    Rocky turns away.
    Kevin smiles, "I know I'm not."
    Rocky sighs, "I love you. I can't control that."
    Kevin nods, "I know. You need to stop trying. We're meant for each other."
    Rocky looks at him, "You really don't get it do you?"
    Kevin looks at him, "Come on! There is nothing to 'get'. You love me and I love you."
    Rocky shakes his head.
    Kevin nods, "Yes I do. I love you."
    Rocky shakes his head, "No. You scare me."
    A very confused Kevin stares at him.



    Harley's House:


    Gus and Harley pull into the driveway.
    Gus looks at her, "I can't believe you made me wait this whole time."
    She laughs, "We're not kids. We're cops. I'm not having sex in your car in front of the station."
    Harley gets out.
    Gus gets out next.
    The two hurry into the house.
    He kisses her neck.
    Harley laughs, "At least let me shut the door.
    Harley kicks the door shut.
    Gus and her continue kissing.
    They throw their jackets off.
    She smiles, "Upstairs?"
    He shakes his head, "I can't wait that long."

    Towers:


    The cameras are still rolling.
    Baby Clay is awake from his nap.
    Liz puts baby Clay into his stroller.
    She smiles at him, "We are going for a walk around town."
    The producer nods, "Yep. This will make great footage for the opening sequence."
    Liz pushes him out in his stroller.
    The camera crew follows.
    Her suite is completely empty.

    Aubrey sneaks out from the nursery.
    She looks around.
    She examines the room.
    Runs her hand along the wall.
    She enters Liz's bedroom.
    She smirks.
    Aubrey sits down at Liz's vanity.
    She stares into the mirror, "Princess Elizabeth. Oh sweet Elizabeth Spaulding, the heiress to Spaulding Enterprises. The richest family in all of Springfield."
    She begins to put Liz's make up on.
    She slowly applies the make up to her face.
    Aubrey gets up and begins to undress.
    Slowly she removes all of her clothing.
    She stands naked as she reaches into Liz's drawer.
    She takes out Liz's lingerie, "Ooh. Elizabeth has a sexy side."
    Aubrey slips it on.
    She then goes through her jewelry box.
    Aubrey puts a diamond necklace around her neck.
    She smiles into the mirror.
    She grabs some lipstick and lays down on Liz's bed.
    Aubrey smears the lipstick on her lips.
    She runs her hands up and down her body as she lies in Liz's bed.



    Springfield High:


    Leah and James walk down the hall holding hands.
    Robbie approaches them, "Hey."
    Leah smiles, "What's up?"
    Robbie sighs, "You guys know Emma Spencer right?"
    James laughs, "She's my half sister dude."
    Leah nods, "Of course. She was my best friend when we were kids. I tried talking to her when she first came back to town but she's pretty closed off."
    Robbie nods, "I noticed a few things about her. She always wears something on her neck and around her wrists, you guys ever notice that?"
    Leah shakes her head, "I try not to comment on her style. I just accept that some people choose to look that way."
    Robbie sighs, "Seriously. I saw her wrists when she was walking away, she has a lot of cuts up and down her arms."
    James stares, "Really?"
    Robbie nods, "And I noticed her neck has a lot of marks on it, they look like rope burns."
    Leah sighs, "Okay let's not overreact to anything. Maybe she's just into some kinky stuff."
    James scoffs, "Eww."
    Leah looks at him, "Just because she's got that goth style doesn't mean she hurts herself. It just seems a little stereotypical you know?"
    Robbie sighs, "Stereotypical or not I've gotta do something."
    On the other side of school.

    Marti is at her locker.
    Belinda smiles at her, "I'm surprised you decided to show your face here again."
    Marti sighs, "I know you're mad at me."
    Belinda laughs, "Oh mad doesn't even begin to describe it. It's bad enough I found out that you slept with RJ-"
    Marti shakes her head, "Before he was your boyfriend."
    Belinda nods, "Oh don't give me that crap. You stole Leah's boyfriend, I'm not about to let you steal mine. Besides, I know you're the one who sent my notebook to my parents."
    Marti sighs, "You were bullying me. You made my life here a hell."
    Belinda laughs, "You think that was hell? Then you can't even imagine what I have in store for you."
    Marti looks at her, "Things are different now. I'm different. Just forget about it. Please?"
    Marti starts to walk past her.
    Belinda grabs her and throws her up against the locker.
    Belinda looks at her, "Oh no. You see you only focused on my sexual past. But if you had dug a little deeper you would have heard that I used to be a very violent girl. And I still can be."
    Belinda walks away.
    A very shaken up Marti begins to cry at the feeling of being physically assaulted again.
    She has flashbacks to her sexual assault as she emotionally heads down the hallway.


    Cedars:


    Coop stares at Ashlee.
    She nods, "One of your roommates is infected with HIV.
    Coop sits down, "What?"
    Ashlee nods, "You have no idea who's medication it was?"
    Coop shakes his head, "No. I saw the pill and I thought maybe it was Kevin's. If he was on drugs then that would explain why he was acting this way. And then I could prove something to Rocky."
    Ashlee sighs, "It could be Kevin's."
    Coop looks at her, "You think I'm supposed to present that theory to my brother? Accusing his boyfriend of having HIV? Kevin's already trying to get it into his head that I'm homophobic."
    Ashlee shakes her head, "Whether you ask him because he's gay or don't ask him because he's gay it's just as bad Coop. I know you're not homophobic."
    Coop stands, "What if it's none of my business? I don't have the right to ask."
    Ashlee looks at him, "What if it is your business Coop? What if it your brother? Or your wife?"
    He turns to her, "Eden? How can you say that?"
    Ashlee sighs, "You never know Coop. Maybe she's afraid to tell you."
    Coop looks around, "It could be anyone. Eden, Rocky, Kevin, Jason, Maureen, Vi. What am I supposed to do? Do I make a big announcement and ask for answers?"
    Ashlee stares, "I'm sorry Coop... I know this is tough for you."
    He looks at her, "You're a doctor Ashlee. Who do you think it is?"
    She sighs, "It could be anyone Coop."
    Coop looks at her, "On a totally statistical standpoint?"
    She sighs, "Some of the biggest victims are men who have sexual relations with other men and... prostitutes."
    Coop turns away.
    Ashlee sighs, "Rocky and Kevin are gay, and I'm sure they have had themselves tested enough but I don't know. And I don't know if it's true but rumors about Eden are that she used to be a call girl-"
    Coop stands up, "I know what you're thinking okay. Just don't."
    She sighs, "I'm sorry."
    Coop begins to worry about his loved ones.

    PART TWO:

    Harley's House:
    Gus and Harley lie on the couch together.
    The two are out of breath.
    Harley smiles, "Oh my God. Oh my God."
    He laughs, "Ditto."
    She laughs, "You know this sneaking around thing is fun."
    He smiles, "I'm right about these things huh?"
    She sighs, "But-"
    He moans, "Ah! No buts!"
    She sighs, "But, we can't do it forever. You know that."
    He sighs, "I know."
    She looks at him, "We made a promise that we would see how things worked out between the two of us and keep everything under the radar before-"
    He nods, "Before we tell the kids anything. Because why get their hopes up-"
    She sighs, "If we are not ready to get back together."
    The two lay down and look up at the ceiling.
    Gus sighs, "I miss this. I miss being with you."
    She looks at him, "I miss you too."
    She puts her hand on his chest.
    He kisses her head, "But if it's going to have the same problems as last time we can't put ourselves through that again. Or the kids for that matter."
    Harley sighs, "Well Zach and Jude are practically adults... which I'm not ready to talk about. And Angela isn't a little kid anymore... I don't know."
    Gus looks at her, "Let's just enjoy whatever this is while it last.
    She rubs his chest.
    He smiles, "You know what that does to me."
    She giggles, "Do I?"
    Gus rolls back on top of Harley.
    The two begin to make love again.

    Police Station:
    Annie stares at Edmund and Marah.
    She shakes her head, "What are you guys talking about?"
    Edmund nods, "Marah and I took it upon ourselves to release the information about Josh's illness to the company and they were not pleased about being left in the dark by the Lewis family."
    Annie stares, "No way. Marah would never do that to her father.
    Marah looks down.
    Annie looks at her, "Oh my God... Oh my God. I finally get it. You two aren't in love at all are you?"
    Edmund laughs, "You're nuts."
    She shakes her head, "You're blackmailing her. This is all part of your plan isn't it? You're using your own daughter's kidnapping to get control of Lewis Enterprises."
    Edmund grins, "What I do with my company is my business."
    She shakes her head, "My company! I helped make Lewis Enterprises what it is today. If anyone is going to take over from the Lewis family it should be me."
    Edmund smiles, "From behind bars."
    Annie scoffs, "Son of a bitch. You got everything you wanted. I'm here to take the fall for her. So you can use her as a pawn in your games."
    Marah stares at Annie.
    Annie looks at her, "You're pathetic. I thought you were some strong woman that I should actually worry about. But you're nothing Marah. You're a coward."
    Marah looks at her, "Screw you."
    Annie laughs, "He controls you. Your life is over."
    Edmund puts his arm around Marah, "Let's go."
    Annie scoffs, "It's only a matter of time before one of you kills the other."
    Marah and Edmund stare at her.
    Annie begins laughing.
    Marah stares, "I can't believe I ever looked up to you."
    Edmund shakes his head, "Come along."
    The two walk out.
    Annie's laughter becomes uncontrollable as the two exit.

    Cedars:
    Coop stands with Ashlee.
    She looks at him, "I didn't mean to offend you."
    He shakes his head, "I'm sorry I snapped. I'm just stressed. I feel like my biggest problem is how I try to control the people I love sometimes. It's pushing my brother away. It ruined my relationships with Ava, Stephanie, and... you."
    Ashlee stares at him, "There was a lot more involved in our break up. We both just changed and we grew a part. It was nobody's fault."
    He sighs, "I'm glad we are still in each other's lives."
    She smiles, "Me too."
    Coop sighs, "I don't know what I'm going to do."
    She looks at him, "If there is anything I can do... I wish there was more."
    Coop shakes his head, "You've done enough. Thank you."
    Ashlee rubs his back.
    Coop turns and smiles at her.
    The two hug each other tight.

    Eden walks over with two coffees.
    She clears her throat.
    Coop jumps up, "Hey Babe. Thanks."
    He takes the coffee and kisses Eden.
    Eden looks at Ashlee, "On your break?"
    Ashlee nods, "Yeah."
    Eden nods, "It's nice you have time to comfort your ex boyfriends."
    Ashlee looks away.
    Coop laughs, "Ashlee's a good friend. She was just giving me some good advice about my brother."
    Eden looks at him, "Well I'm glad you trust her."
    He sighs, "Come on."
    Eden and Coop walk down the hall.
    Coop looks at her, "Are you feeling okay Babe?"
    She nods, "Yeah... why?"
    He shakes his head, "Nothing."
    The two leave the hospital.

    Springfield High:
    Marti is walking down the hallway.
    She continues to have flashbacks to New Years Eve in New York.
    Gavin presses himself up against her back.
    She turns around, "Don't touch me."
    He grabs her arms, "Hey. Your friend Leah was the tease. You're the sure thing."
    She pulls away, "No I'm not and I wouldn't sleep with you anyway. You're a dweeb."
    He stares, "Liar."
    She laughs, "Get over yourself."
    Marti begins to walk away.
    He grabs her from behind and pulls her close.
    Marti wipes a tear from her face.
    She walks over to the guidance counselors' office.
    She knocks on the door.

    Bridget walks out, "Marti. Hi. You okay?"
    She stares, "Principal Reardon... I didn't know you would be here..."
    She nods, "Well Ms. Hayden is out for the day. So I'm taking on some of her appointments that couldn't get rescheduled. Is there anything I can help you with?"
    Marti stares at her.
    Leah, Robbie, and James walk up.
    Bridget looks at them, "You guys okay?"
    Leah sighs, "We need to talk to you about something.
    Bridget sighs, "Well I'm with Marti at the moment-"
    Marti shakes her head, "No. I just had some questions about my schedule but I think I can figure it out. Go ahead with them."
    Marti walks away.
    Robbie looks at Bridget, "We are concerned about a student."
    Bridget nods, "Which student?"
    Leah sighs, "Emma Spencer."
    Bridget nods, "Okay well what's going on?"
    James sighs, "We think she might be hurting herself."
    Bridget sighs, "Did she say anything or do you have proof?"
    Robbie shakes his head, "No..."
    Bridget sighs, "Well I'll set up an appointment with the guidance counselor and you 3 can tell her your situation and I'm sure she'll find a way to help you."
    The three of them all look at each other.

    Towers:
    Aubrey is lying in Liz's bed.
    She hears the door open in the main room.
    Liz walks in with her camera crew.
    Aubrey quickly hides under Liz's bed.
    Outside in the living room.
    The camera crew packs up.
    The producer looks at Liz, "Use this time to take a nap. We'll be back in a few hours."
    Liz nods, "Okay sounds good."
    After putting the baby down, Liz walks into her bedroom.
    She sits on her bed.
    Aubrey looks at Liz's feet from under the bed.
    Liz takes off her shoes and lays down on her bed.
    She notices it's a bit wrinkled but doesn't pay attention.
    After about a half hour, Liz is fast asleep.
    Aubrey slowly works up the nerve to crawl out from under the bed.
    She gets up and looks at Liz.
    She stands over her.
    Aubrey leans down and watches her sleep.
    Aubrey's heart is racing as she knows Liz could wake up at any moment.
    Aubrey stares at her enemy who is incredibly vulnerable.
    She feels Liz's breath brush against her face.
    Aubrey leans closely and stares at her.
    Very slowly Aubrey plants a kiss on Liz's lips, "I'll see you soon."
    Aubrey gets up and walks out of the room.
    Liz continues sleeping.

    Cedars:
    Rocky lies in his bed.
    Kevin stares at him, "I scare you?"
    Rocky looks at him.
    Kevin stares, "Do I really?"
    Rocky nods, "Yes you do. You scare the hell out of me Kevin."
    Kevin's eyes fill with tears.
    Rocky looks at him, "I'm sorry."
    Kevin looks at him, "When did this start?"
    Rocky sighs, "Our first encounter as adults was you bashing me for being gay. Then you confess your feelings for me. Maybe it's always been there... but lately your passion and emotions have just been really overwhelming. One minute it's fun and your happy and then the next it's dark and scary."
    Kevin cries, "So I'm a monster?"
    Rocky shakes his head, "No."
    Kevin looks at him, "I gave up everything for you! I don't have a job, I don't have money, I don't have a home! I have absolutely nothing!"
    Rocky looks at him, "I never asked you to do that."
    Kevin backs away, "I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know why I've always been like this. I'm so sorry Rocky. I'm so sorry."
    Rocky stares, "I want you to get help."
    Kevin shakes his head, "There is no help for me. I'm worthless."
    Rocky sits up, "No you're not."
    Kevin sighs, "I think I just need to go away... You'll all be better off."
    Rocky sits up, "Kevin!"
    Rocky is in too much pain to get out of his bed.
    Kevin walks away.
    An emotional Kevin exits the hospital.
    He looks around.
    He has no idea where to go next.

    Mallet and Dinah's House:


    Mallet and Dinah sit in their living room.
    They are going over wedding plans.
    She looks at him, "I just don't know. I mean technically this is our 3rd wedding. Our first was spur of the moment. But our second was a real wedding."
    Mallet looks at her, "Yeah but now your Dad is here. You always wanted him to walk you down the aisle."
    She sighs, "I know..."
    He rubs her back, "Don't feel guilty about having a third wedding to the same man. Believe me, in this town we're still normal."
    She laughs, "Amen to that."
    He looks at her, "What about the wedding party?"
    She sighs, "Hmm well my sister will not be in it for obvious reasons. And believe it or not I don't think I really have many friends."
    He looks at her, "I'm sure you do."
    She shakes her head, "I rarely talk to Harley anymore. Mel and Natalia haven't been my friends since we had our falling out a couple of years ago. Annie is behind bars, and Olivia is in rehab. Other than that, no friends."
    He sighs, "Well I have some guys on the force who I could get maybe they have girlfriends-"
    She covers her ears, "Oh no. Do not do that. Stop."
    He laughs, "I'm sorry."
    She sighs, "Maybe Anthony could carry the rings."
    He looks at her, "What about Belinda?"
    Dinah nods, "Ooh that's right! She's actually been very sweet lately towards me."
    He stares, "Really?"
    Dinah nods, "Well for her."
    Mallet nods, "That's good. She seemed happy on Christmas when we got engaged again."
    Dinah looks at him, "I know she has been upset lately but I think she's finally coming around. Maybe those crazy teen years are behind us."
    Mallet puts his arm around her, "Now we can enjoy the few years we have until Anthony is a teenager."
    The two kiss and continue their wedding plans.



    Cedars:


    Michelle is walking down the hall in her doctor's coat.
    J walks up next to her, "Hey."
    He puts his arm around her.
    She shrugs it off, "Hey what's up?"
    He laughs, "Jeez cold much?"
    She looks at him, "What?"
    He smirks, "Don't 'what' me. You know my manners suck so I'm going to obviously point out that you shrugged me off just now."
    She sighs, "We're at work."
    He stares, "So..."
    She nods, "We need to be professional."
    He continues staring at her.
    She nods, "And my family works here. Okay? You happy?"
    He stares, "And you still haven't told anyone that we've been seeing each other right? You know this is starting to bum me out."
    She shakes her head, "It's really complicated for me."
    He nods, "Really because it's not complicated for me. I want to shout it from the rooftops and brag to everyone."
    She sighs, "I have kids. They lost their father a few years ago. I made the mistake of rushing into an engagement with Bill that failed miserably. I'm not letting that happen to my family again. I'm sorry."
    He stares, "So what does that mean for us Michelle?"
    She shakes her head, "I don't know okay?"
    He looks at her, "You know what I think? I think you're the one who is afraid to get into a relationship again. And you're using your kids as an excuse."
    She scoffs, "That's not fair."
    He looks at her, "No. What's not fair, is that I'm putting my heart out there for you, that's something I don't do, and you're spitting on it."
    She sighs, "J..."
    He walks off, "Just don't."
    Michelle watches as an upset J walks away from her.



    Springfield High:


    It's almost the end of the day at Springfield High.
    Coop hands Spencer her paper as she walks out of the room.
    He nods, "Your poetry is quite remarkable for someone so young. But I have to say it's pretty dark. Anything you want to talk about?"
    She takes her paper and walks away.

    Robbie sees her in the hall and follows her, "Emma."
    She rolls her eyes.
    He sighs, "I mean Spencer."
    She keeps walking.
    He catches up with her, "I wanted to talk to you."
    She nods, "You are."
    He sighs, "I'm worried about you."
    Spencer shakes her head, "Don't be."
    He looks at her, "Why because there is no problem?"
    She looks at him, "Mind your own business Robbie. I don't get why you keep harassing me. We aren't friends."
    He sighs, "Maybe I want to be."
    She chuckles, "Wow. No thanks."
    He sighs, "Maybe I want to be more than friends."
    She stops and stares at him, "What?"
    He nods, "Remember when your Dad was engaged to my Mom? We were so excited to be related but all I could think was that it would complicate things when we grew up and I asked you to marry me."
    She scoffs, "You were a weird kid."
    He takes her hand, "Spencer... I'm going to the school and telling them about the cuts on your arms and marks on your neck."
    She stares, "Why can't you just leave me alone?"
    He nods, "I told you."
    She shakes her head, "You don't really like me. You like girls like Marti Lewis who are cheery, preppy, and a conformist. You just like that I'm different, you want to see if I'm fun in bed. You don't want to be with me in the long run."
    He sighs, "You don't know that."
    She stares, "Did you tell anyone you 'like' me? My brother James? Your cousin Jude? They apparently are your best friends right?"
    He looks down.
    She nods, "That's what I thought."
    He keeps following her, "Just give me a chance.
    She looks at him, "What do I have to do to get you to leave me alone?"
    He stares, "There is nothing you can do."
    She smirks, "We'll see."
    Spencer walks away from Robbie.



    Museum Apartment:


    Maureen sits in the living room with her guitar.
    She looks through her notebook of songs she's been working on.
    She takes a drink of water.
    Maureen takes a deep breath and clears her throat.

    Jason walks in behind her and stops.
    She begins to strum her guitar.
    Jason quietly watches.
    Maureen begins her song in a very peaceful voice,"Just listen
    Don’t try and stop me
    Just hear me out
    Hear my whole story
    When I hear you I hear my boyfriend
    When I touch your hand I feel my husband
    When I see your eyes I see my soul mate
    To know you feel the same would feel oh so great
    Just listen
    Don’t try and stop me
    Just hear me out
    Hear my whole story
    When you talk to her I hear my boyfriend
    When you touch her hand she feels my husband
    When she sees your eyes she sees my soul mate
    Why cant you see what I see as fate?
    Just listen
    Don’t try and stop me
    Just hear me out
    Hear my whole story."
    She stops and rest her face in hand.
    Jason walks towards her.
    She hears his footsteps and turns.
    The two stare at each other.
    Jason smiles, "That was beautiful."
    She turns away, "I thought everyone was gone..."
    Jason sighs, "I know you probably didn't want anyone to know about your song."
    She looks at him, "Yeah-"
    He nods, "I know who it's about Maureen."
    She stares, "You do?"
    He nods, "Yeah I do."
    The two stare at each other.



    Company:


    Dalton and Ashlee are having lunch.
    Dalton smiles at her, "When do you have to go back to work?"
    She smiles, "I have the rest of the day off."
    He sighs, "I wish you had told me that I need to go back to the club and talk to the new bartender."
    She sighs, "Oh damn. Well I can go to the gym and we can hang out later."
    He stares, "You don't need the gym. You're fine."
    She laughs, "Everyone should go to the gym. But I am far from fine."
    He looks at her, "You're in a relationship now. You don't need to try and look like a Barbie doll. You already got me."
    He grins at her.
    She sighs, "I still wish you hadn't talked me into dessert."
    He looks at her, "You ate it really fast."
    She nods, "I guess I was hungry."
    He kisses her on the cheek.
    Ashlee stands up, "I need to use the restroom."
    She walks over to the ladies room.
    Once she gets in she checks the stalls.
    They all seem to be empty.
    She pulls her hair back.
    Ashlee goes into the stall and closes it.
    Ashlee's feet face the bottom of the stall as she leans down and purges into the toilet.
    Once she is done she walks out wiping her face and heads to the sink.
    She washes her hands thoroughly.
    She grabs the mouth wash from her purse and rinses her mouth to cover the smell.
    She stares at herself in disgust and disappointment before walking out of the restroom.



    Towers:


    Rafe and Clarissa are in his suite.
    Rafe is lying in bed undressed.
    Clarissa is getting dressed a few feet away.
    He smiles, "Why are you leaving?"
    She sighs, "I told you I have errands to run."
    He grins, "Come on."
    She laughs, "I let you talk me into sticking around long enough. I'm already running late and I hate that."
    He sits up, "Do I need to come over there and get you."
    She walks over to the bed and kisses him, "I'm sorry. But I'll make it up to you later. Okay? I love you."
    He sighs, "Come on Babe."
    She grins, "Stop it."
    He hollers, "Clarissa."
    She turns.
    He smiles, "I love you too."
    She grins as she walks out the door.
    A frustrated Rafe lies back down.
    He is already missing Clarissa.
    Suddenly there is a knock at the door.
    He jumps up still naked, "I knew you couldn't resist."
    He answers the door with no clothing and smiles.
    To his shock Aubrey Cross stands outside.
    She smiles as she looks him up and down, "Wow. Welcome home to me."
    Rafe stares in shock.



    PART TWO:

    Cedars:
    Michelle sits in the doctor's lounge.

    Mel walks in, "Hey."
    Michelle looks up, "Hey what's up? You decide to put the white jacket on again?"
    Mel laughs, "No. I tried to balance being a doctor and a lawyer and once I was done I swore to stick with one at time. Besides having two titles like that seemed a little pretentious at times."
    Michelle laughs, "I see. So you visiting Rick?"
    Mel nods, "Yes, and unfortunately he's busy. But fortunately I can hang around with my favorite sister in law, who so happens to look just as upset as the handsome doctor I just walked by. What's going on with you and Dr. Chamberlain?"
    Michelle shakes her head, "Mel..."
    Mel stares, "You can tell me."
    Michelle sighs, "We've been dating a little these past few weeks."
    Mel grins, "I knew something was about to happen. It's been brewing for a long time. Yay! This is great. I'm so happy for you Michelle."
    Michelle looks down.
    Mel looks at her, "Is there a 'but' coming up?"
    Michelle nods, "It's not easy for me to get close to someone. That was my biggest problem with Bill."
    Mel stares, "Funny I thought Olivia was your biggest problem with Bill."
    Michelle sighs, "That too. But ever since Danny died... the idea of getting that close to another man? The same thing happened with Jesse."
    Mel looks at her, "Well between you and me, Jesse wasn't really right for you in this chapter of your life."
    Michelle sighs, "I know! But I guess maybe there is a reason that my last two relationships have been with ex boyfriends from before Danny. But J and I had a thing when we were kids."
    Mel stares, "Oh yeah. I'm confused on that too. Aren't you guys cousins?"
    Michelle sighs, "Not really. My Mom wasn't my biological mother so technically no. But our Mom's are sisters and my Mom was my Mom so yeah."
    Mel stares, "Hey stranger things have happened in Springfield."
    Michelle sighs, "I don't know what to do."
    Mel looks at her, "Just don't do one thing. Don't be afraid. I almost ruined my marriage for a second time because I was too afraid of things."
    Michelle looks at her sister in law.

    Springfield High:


    Jude walks out of the school with his bag over his shoulder.
    He walks out the back doors towards the parking lot.
    Spencer stands against the wall, "Hey."
    He turns.
    He watches as she smokes her cigarette.
    Jude nods, "What's up?"
    She looks at him, "You going home?"
    He shakes his head, "Just putting my stuff in my car. I got to get back inside. I'm not doing to hot in math this semester and I need to get some tutoring in."
    She stares, "That's boring as hell."
    He laughs, "Coming from the girl who never goes to any parties, football games, basketball games, school dances, or anything where people smile."
    She looks at him, "I find other ways to have fun."
    He stares, "Like what?"
    She stares, "What do you think?"
    He walks towards her, "I don't know drugs, self harming, playing psychological games with people's heads, sitting around thinking about how messed up the world is?"
    She nods, "Maybe. But there are other things."
    He smirks, "Like what?"
    She walks towards him, "You want to me to show you?"
    He stares, "Are you coming on to me?"
    She stares, "Sure."
    He looks at her, "Why?"
    She shakes her head, "I don't know. I'm bored."
    He laughs, "You're messing with me."
    She grabs the front of his jeans and reaches down his pants.
    Jude's jaw drops.
    She stares at him with a blank look on her face.
    She sighs, "I guess you've grown up a little since we were kids."
    He smiles, "You too Emma."
    She squeezes, "Don't call me that."
    He winces in pain, "Spencer. Sorry."
    She nods, "Let's go."
    She puts her cigarette out against the wall.
    Jude looks around as the two walk to his car.



    Gym:

    Ashlee is running on the treadmill.
    She can feel her heart beating intensely.
    She tries to put all of her emotions aside.

    Eden walks in, "Hello Ashlee."
    Ashlee stares, "Hey Eden. What's up?"
    Eden walks to treadmill next to her, "Just keeping myself in shape you know? I'm not too worried, I have good genes. But I gotta look good for my husband."
    Ashlee nods, "Coop is a lucky man."
    Eden smirks, "Yeah he is."
    Ashlee stares, "Do you have a problem?"
    Eden shakes her head, "I'm married to a great man. I have no problem."
    Ashlee looks at her, "It's not a problem for you that I'm still friends with Coop is it?"
    Eden lightly jogs on her treadmill, "Not unless you make it one sweetheart."
    Ashlee is sweaty and running as fast as she can.
    She looks at Eden's tight body as she gently takes her time, not even breaking a sweat.
    Ashlee stops her treadmill.
    Eden looks at her, "I hope I didn't make you feel uncomfortable."
    Ashlee walks into the locker room.
    She goes to her locker and opens it up.
    She begins to take her shirt off.
    She hears women chuckling from a distance.
    A paranoid Ashlee takes her stuff and moves to the other side.
    Ashlee begins to undress.
    She turns and sees herself in the mirror.
    She almost cries as she looks at herself in disgust.

    Museum Apartment:
    Maureen and Jason look at each other.
    Jason walks towards her, "It was kind of obvious who it was about Maureen."
    She sighs, "Oh... I guess."
    He nods, "You want the truth?"
    She nods, "Of course."
    He sighs, "I think you're being stupid if you think that would be a good idea."
    She stares, "What?"
    He sighs, "Plus, you're not the type of woman who goes after a man who's involved with someone else."
    She nods, "I know but-"
    He looks at her, "Maureen if it didn't work the first time why the hell do you think it would work the second time? Do you understand what I'm saying?"
    She looks down, "I guess. I just thought some things deserved a second chance."
    He shakes his head, "Not when you're too good for someone."
    She stares in shock, "How can you say this to me?"
    He looks at her, "Why would you even think of getting back together with Mallet?"
    She stands up, "Mallet?"
    Jason sighs, "Mallet and Dinah are back together! They are going to get married. You deserve someone so much better than him anyway."
    She looks at him, "Oh my God."
    He nods, "You said yourself that you felt like you wasted your time on that relationship. Besides, how could you do that to Dinah again?"
    Maureen shakes her head, "The song wasn't about Mallet."
    He stares, "Come on. Mallet and Dinah just got engaged-"
    She shouts, "No. It's not about him. I regret my relationship with Mallet, and I would never get back into something like that again. It wasn't about him."
    He stares, "Then who was it about?"
    She puts down her guitar and walks towards him, "Who do you think Jason?"
    He looks at her.
    She puts her hands on his face, "You aren't that stupid are you?"
    Maureen kisses Jason.

    Towers:
    A naked Rafe stands in front of Aubrey at the door.
    She smiles at him, "You're so happy to see me. That's sweet.
    He turns away and grabs a pillow, "What the hell is going on?"
    She shuts the door behind her, "Did you know I was coming?"
    He stares, "Do I look like someone who knew you were coming?"
    She smirks, "You look like someone who needs a bigger pillow."
    He turns away, "I thought you were someone else. Why the hell are you back in Springfield Aubrey? Are you trying to get yourself arrested?"
    He slips his boxers on.
    She looks around his suite, "Looks like your trust fund finally kicked in. What's it like being a Spaulding? Because you guys have it made."
    He walks back over, "Aubrey seriously?"
    She smiles, "Not even a hello kiss?"
    She kisses him on the cheek.
    He shakes his head, "Who knows your here?"
    She sighs, "No one. Otherwise you would have heard it on the news. I'm kind of a big deal I hear."
    He stares, "Do you have any idea what happened after you left? This whole town was shaken by the stuff you did Aubrey. And I'm not kidding."
    She sits on his couch, "Ooh. Elaborate."
    He sighs, "My Mom's marriage to Alan fell a part after she found out he covered up for us. Jonathan and Sarah went on the run again. Reva got hit by a car protecting them from Alan. Marina became a drug addict stripper when she thought her baby was dead. And don't even get me started on the rest."
    Aubrey stares, "I went out with a bang huh?"
    He looks at her, "You shot Liz, burned down Marina's house, kidnapped her baby and made her think it was dead, then you split town."
    Aubrey nods, "You're forgetting the part where we kidnapped Sarah together."
    Rafe turns away, "That was a long time ago."
    Aubrey walks over, "Well I'm back and you are the first person I've come too. So far the only one. I'm pretty dependant on you right now."
    He looks at her, "What?"
    She walks towards him, "I need you Rafe."
    Aubrey rubs his face and stares into his eyes.

    Mallet and Dinah's House:
    Mallet and Dinah sit together.
    He is kissing her neck.
    Dinah laughs, "You really don't want me to be successful with this wedding do you?"
    He laughs, "We can do it later."
    She looks at him, "Come on."
    He smiles, "We have all the time in the world."
    Dinah turns and begins kissing him back.
    The two lay back on the couch.
    She begins to unbutton his shirt.
    Mallet kisses down her neck.
    The doorbell rings.
    She sighs, "Crap."
    He shakes his head, "No. Anyone who rings the door bell is probably nobody. Anyone who knows us would knock. You know that Babe. Come on."
    The two continue kissing.
    There is now a knock at the door.
    Dinah sighs, "Okay. We're coming."
    Mallet shakes his head.
    She looks at him, "Get the door."
    He lays back, "You need to get the door."
    She laughs.
    Dinah fixes herself and walks over to the door.
    Her smile drops once she opens it, "Oh my God."

    Cyrus and Marina stand together with Marina's son Daniel.
    Cyrus sighs, "Hi."
    Mallet walks over, "Oh my God. What are you two doing here?"
    Cyrus stares, "I got your letter."
    Dinah scoffs, "I sent no letter."
    Marina looks at her, "Dinah. We flew out here for you. Your letter said it was urgent."
    Cyrus hands it to Mallet.
    Mallet stares, "Dear Cyrus, Belinda needs her biological father now more than ever, please come back to Springfield. Don't call, just come as soon as you can-"
    Dinah rips it out of his hands, "I would never- Oh my God."
    Mallet looks at her, "Seriously?"
    Cyrus looks at them, "What?"
    Dinah looks at Mallet, "Annie Dutton."
    The two stare at each other.



    Police Station:


    Annie Dutton sits in her cell.
    The guard hollers, "Dutton you got a visitor."
    She turns, "Ah. I was expecting you."

    RJ Winslow walks in, "I'm confused to say the least."
    She looks at his backpack, "You just get out of class at Springfield High?"
    He stares, "I go to college."
    She grins, "Cute."
    He sighs, "If this is about the Lewis Enterprises take over I'm not really a part of that. I'm just sort of an honorary member of the Lewis family."
    Annie nods, "I know sweetheart. It's not about that."
    He stares, "Then why did you request me to visit you?"
    She grins, "It's not about your family. It's about your girlfriend."
    He stares, "Belinda? What do you know about Belinda?"
    Annie grins, "Oh trust me, it's pretty interesting."
    RJ stares at Annie Dutton through the bars.

    Mallet and Dinah's House:



    Mallet, Dinah, Cyrus and Marina walk into the living room.
    Cyrus looks at Dinah, "Okay, what is going on?"
    Dinah sighs, "Annie Dutton is behind bars. And now she's lashing out at anyone who's ever pissed her off or anyone who she's ever been close to, which is usually the same."
    He stares, "So your little friend is coming after our daughter?"
    Dinah looks at him, "My daughter. And she's not going to hurt her. She wants to break the news to her that her biological father is an ex con."
    Marina looks at her, "Dinah where do you get off putting down Cyrus for his past? You were committing crimes right along side him. You were on run for murder."
    Dinah nods, "Yeah. I killed Hart, the father of Belinda's current boyfriend RJ. That has been more than enough for Belinda to deal with right now."
    Cyrus nods.
    Dinah walks towards him, "How do you think she would feel if she knew that her father is Cyrus Foley and that would mean her uncle was the man who killed RJ's sister Tammy. What would that do to her relationship?"
    Marina looks at Dinah, "Tammy was my best friend. And I don't hold any grudges against Cyrus for what his brother did to her. Cyrus hasn't even talked to his brother since he left Springfield."
    Dinah shakes her head, "Well I'm sorry but I need to protect my daughter."
    Cyrus looks at her, "If Annie is in jail then what do we have to worry about? I mean as long as Belinda doesn't go to visit her then Annie can't do much."
    Mallet looks at him, "Annie can do more than you'd think. She's smart and when she wants to get revenge on somebody she'll do everything in her power to make it happen."
    Marina looks at them, "Okay well should we be worried about Belinda's safety."
    Dinah sighs, "We just need to make sure we keep Belinda away from Annie."
    Mallet looks at them, "The guys at the station would alert me if Belinda was down there."
    Everyone looks at each other.



    Police Station:


    RJ stands outside of Annie's cell.
    Annie smiles at him, "You look nervous."
    RJ shakes his head, "No. But I know who you are. You did a lot of messed up things to my family. And I'm confused as to what you want with Belinda."
    She shakes her head, "Nothing. Belinda is young girl with a long future ahead of her. I've known her since she was a young girl. I was good friends with her mother."
    RJ stares, "Okay."
    She sighs, "Dinah confided a lot in me. I even helped her when Belinda's father was trying to get back into her life. And I helped make sure that he didn't."
    RJ stares, "What?"
    Annie nods, "Yep. Dinah couldn't let Belinda find out the truth."
    He nods, "But you know?"
    Annie smirks, "Of course, I helped cover it up. And I think I'm one of the few people in this town who knows who Belinda's father is. Crazy huh?"
    RJ looks at her, "Why are you calling me here?"
    Annie holds and envelope, "They don't let me do a lot in here. But they have let me do some writing, they say it will help me get ready for the big house. But I think they just wanted something to keep me quiet."
    RJ stares, "What's in it?"
    Annie sighs, "Inside I have written down the name of Belinda's biological father."
    He looks at her, "What do you want me to do? Deliver it?"
    Annie shakes her head, "I don't want you to do anything except for to take it. Go ahead."
    She hands RJ the envelope.
    He looks at her, "I don't understand."
    She stares, "You're a smart guy RJ, you're a lot like your father. Another man I helped Dinah... with. Not in his murder or anything, don't worry. But you have a good heart, like Hart. So I know that I can trust you to do the right thing with this information."
    He stares, "What's that?"
    She laughs, "How should I know?"
    RJ stares down at the sealed envelope.



    Towers:


    Rafe and Aubrey stand in his suite.
    He backs away, "You're trouble Aubrey. I haven't forgotten that."
    She smirks, "Like you're one to talk. I seem to remember the troubled young man who wanted to rebel against his family and cause trouble."
    He shakes his head, "I've changed."
    She smiles and begins to walk around, "I see. You got your trust fun. You traded in your Ed Hardy for your Armani. Now you're a classy little socialite?"
    He stares, "Something like that."
    She stands behind him, "Well I know that some things never change."
    She pulls his underwear down.
    He quickly pulls it back up, "Obviously for some people."
    She sighs, "In all seriousness I know what you mean. I've changed a lot too Rafe."
    He stares, "Really?"
    She sighs, "I don't know who I was... when I did that."
    He stares, "You did a lot of things."
    She nods, "I was emotional. My husband was leaving me for another woman. I was the perfect wife, I was willing to give him everything and he was falling for Lizzie Spaulding."
    Rafe nods, "You were jealous."
    Aubrey sighs, "One day I finally woke up and realized what I had done. And I have been thinking ever since and trying to find a way to come back to Springfield."
    Rafe looks at her, "What were you thinking? It's not like you just stole a car. You are looking at 2 counts of attempted murder, two counts of kidnapping, Aubrey you're going to prison for the rest of your life."
    She shakes her head, "Or I could be in a nice cushy room... or maybe even do no jail time at all?"
    Rafe scoffs, "What?"
    She nods, "It's all in your hands actually... you were my close friend at the time. You can take the stand and tell a judge that I wasn't in my right state of mind when I did all of those things."
    Rafe stares in shock.



    Museum Apartment:


    Maureen and Jason are still kissing in the living room.
    Jason pulls away, "Oh my God."
    Maureen stares at him.
    He looks at her, "That song... that song was about me?"
    She nods, "Yes."
    He looks at her, "That doesn't make any sense Maureen. I practically threw myself at you last summer. I told you that I wanted you but you chose Mallet over me."
    Maureen shakes her head, "I made a mistake. I realized it and I came back for you. But by the time I figured everything out you were already with Vi."
    Jason sighs, "So you didn't want me until I was unavailable?"
    She shakes her head, "No. I wanted you before that. But I had to wait until after I broke up with Mallet and then I had to give it some time out of respect for Mallet. I'm not the kind of woman who jumps around from guy to guy."
    He stares, "You're the woman who hooked up with her sister's ex husband, and now you're the woman who is going after a guy that has a girlfriend."
    Maureen sighs, "I know."
    He sighs, "For God sakes, we all live together Maureen!"
    She stares, "I know. It's been killing me, watching you with Vi."
    He looks at her, "If Vi find out you have feelings for me-"
    Maureen nods, "She knows. You're practically the only one who doesn't know Jason."
    Jason stares, "Vi knows?"
    Maureen nods, "She's threatened me numerous times to stay away from you. I try... but I honestly can't do it anymore. I'm in love with you Jason."
    Jason backs away, "Maureen..."
    She looks at him, "I'm tired of being the nice girl who sits and lets people like Vi take everything that I want. I think you're my soul mate and I can't just let you get away from me again."
    Jason stares at Maureen who is pouring her heart out.



    Cedars:


    Michelle is quickly hurrying down the hallways.
    She keeps looking around.

    J walks past her.
    She follows him, "J."
    He keeps walking, "I'm going to lunch."
    She sighs, "We always have lunch together."
    He shakes his head, "Believe it or not I'm not in the mood to have lunch with you today. I would gladly go sit by myself and look like a loser."
    Michelle sighs, "Listen to me."
    He keeps walking.
    Michelle grabs him and pushes him up against the wall.
    He stares, "Whoa."
    She kisses him.
    He pulls away, "What's gotten into you?"
    She grabs him by the coat and pulls him into an empty room.
    She shuts the door behind him.
    He stars, "What is going on with you?"
    She rips her coat off.
    He stares as she rushes over and undoes his belt.
    She smiles, "I'm done."
    He smirks, "You are very good with break ups."
    She shakes her head, "Not done with you. I'm done being afraid."
    He smiles, "Really?"
    She sighs, "I'm proving it to you."
    He stares, "You don't want this."
    She rips her shirt open.
    J stares.
    She sighs, "I haven't been intimate with a man in over 2 and a half years okay? Trust me, I know that I want this right now more than ever."
    J smiles.
    She rips open his shirt.
    The two begin kissing.
    J picks up Michelle and lays her on the table behind them.
    J climbs on top of her.
    The two continue making out as they rip their clothes off.



    Bauer Home:


    Robbie is reading a book in the bedroom.
    Jude walks in, "Dude, story time."
    Robbie holds up his book ,"In case you couldn't tell, it's already story time."
    Jude scoffs, "Not boring teenage boy runs away from home and learns the value of life story. I'm talking about a dear penthouse story."
    Robbie stares, "What?"
    Jude walks around the room, "It was crazy man! Crazy!"
    Robbie puts down his book and sits up, "Okay. What's up?"
    Jude smiles, "Okay so you know how I had to stay after for tutoring?"
    Robbie nods, "Because you're a dumbass yeah."
    Jude shakes his head, "I skipped it."
    Robbie stares, "Nice. Have fun repeating next year."
    Jude stares, "No. I was on my way when this chick practically jumped my bones."
    Robbie laughs, "I'm sure you're exaggerating."
    Jude shakes his head, "Nope. She literally shoved her hand down my pants dude. Then she led me to the my car and got in. It was nuts!!!"
    Robbie smiles, "Wow. That's crazy. But who was it?"
    Jude turns, "Okay. You need to be mum on this one."
    Robbie laughs, "She looks like a dude doesn't she?"
    Jude shakes his head, "Swear you won't tell anyone. Especially James."
    Robbie stares, "Okay James is dating your sister so I'm getting a little creeped out."
    Jude sighs, "That's the ironic part."
    Robbie stares, "I'm lost."
    Jude smiles, "It was James's sister. Emma Spencer."
    Robbie stares, "Spencer?"
    Jude nods, "Isn't it nuts? I know she's a weird emo chick, but she's kinda hot ya know?"
    Robbie feels nauseous.
    He stands up.
    Jude looks at him, "You okay?"
    Robbie sighs, "I got to go. I'll be right back."
    Robbie walks out.

    PART TWO:

    Museum Apartment:
    Jason and Maureen stand together.
    Jason turns, "This is not what I was expecting today."
    She sighs, "Neither was I. But you know what? I'm glad it did. It's not right to be dishonest about your feelings. So I'm putting it all out here."
    Jason looks at her, "Yes you are."
    She nods, "You really haven't said how you feel."
    He stares, "I'm pissed to say the least. I pined for you since I was a kid. It's always been someone else. You were in love with Kevin until you found out he was gay. Then I finally thought I had a chance with you and you fall for Mallet! But I was always there waiting. Now I've finally moved on and you decide that you want me?"
    She shakes her head, "I'm so sorry."
    He walks around, "So I'm supposed to just jump with joy? I'm supposed to dump everything for you? How do I know you won't flip flop again?"
    She shakes her head, "Just tell me how you feel Jason."
    He turns away, "I don't know."
    She looks at him, "Do you love Vi?"
    He sighs, "We haven't gotten to that point."
    She shakes her head, "You've been with her for what 5 months? If you don't know yet then it is probably never going to happen Jason."
    He nods, "Vi would kill me for even talking to you about this."
    Maureen walks towards him, "If you love Vi then I'll stop. I'll even move out. But if you don't then I can't just give up on you Jason."
    He looks at her, "You sound like me last summer."
    She nods, "And you sound like me."
    He sighs, "I really need to think about this Maureen... I don't know."
    She picks up her guitar, "Okay."
    Maureen walks out of the room.
    A frustrated Jason drops down on the couch.

    Cedars:
    J and Michelle lay together on the hospital bed.
    The two are very close in the small bed.
    They are both sweaty and out of breath.
    Michelle sighs, "Oh my God."
    He smiles, "Ditto."
    She laughs, "What a great way to spend our lunch break."
    He sighs, "I couldn't agree more."
    She rest her head on his chest, "We can't hang around here too long."
    He nods, "I'm surprised we had enough time without anyone walking in here."
    She smiles, "Just lucky."
    The two kiss.
    He looks at her, "So did you mean all of the things you said? Or were you just caught up in the heat of the moment? Because right now..."
    She nods, "I meant it. I'm tired of being afraid."
    He smiles, "I'm glad to hear you say that."
    She gets up, "But if we don't hurry, we won't have jobs anymore."
    He sits up, "So are we official now?"
    She nods, "I think so. Aren't we?"
    He smiles, "I hope so."
    Michelle gets dressed.
    J gets up, "So does this mean I can start bragging about you?"
    She walks over to him, "You really wanna brag about me?"
    The two continue kissing.
    J begins to get dressed.
    She sighs, "I don't know how I'm going to tell my kids... but I will. I promise."
    Michelle and J kiss one more time.
    The two walk out of the room.
    A nurse stands across from the door staring at them.
    The two quickly walk away giggling.



    Gazebo:


    Spencer is reading a book and smoking by herself.
    Robbie walks up.
    He looks at her, "What the hell is wrong with you?"
    She holds up her finger while she finishes reading her page.
    He rolls his eyes.
    She looks up and closes her book, "Hmm?"
    He looks at her, "Why would you do that?"
    She keeps staring at him.
    He nods, "You fooled around with my cousin. And you knew that he was going to rush home and tell me all of the disgusting details about it."
    Spencer nods, "Okay."
    She looks back at her book.
    He stares, "Is that really more important than me?"
    She shakes her head, "No I hated the ending."
    She grabs her lighter and sets the book on fire.
    Robbie backs away, "You're really messed up you know that?"
    She drops it on the ground.
    He laughs, "This is like you're act like? You act like a freak and you hope it will scare people off and push them away right? I get it."
    She shakes her head, "No act."
    He looks at her, "I care about you."
    She nods, "Don't."
    He sighs, "Why is it hard for you to get close to anyone?"
    She stares at him but doesn't respond.
    He stares, "You think you're the only one with problems? My Dad is dead. My Mom is making out some guy from her work and she thinks I don't know about it."
    She looks at him, "I could care less about your stupid problems. I don't even care about mine."
    He looks at her, "I give up. You win. Bye Spencer. Have fun cutting yourself until you finally get all the attention you secretly want."
    Robbie walks away.
    Spencer looks down and watches as her books burns.

    Towers:
    Rafe stands with Aubrey.
    He stares, "You're serious?"
    She nods, "Very much so."
    He scoffs, "You expect me to commit perjury for you?"
    She sighs, "Are you sure it's perjury?"
    He looks at her, "What?"
    She nods, "Rafe I wasn't in my right state of mind when I left Springfield. I don't know who I was but I wasn't myself. I need you to believe me."
    He scoffs, "You really had me going. I thought maybe you were going to accept responsibility for the horrible things that you did. Fooled me."
    She shakes her head, "Don't do that. Don't act like you are so much better than me. You were my partner in crime and you seem to be doing well for yourself."
    He sighs, "I don't need this now."
    She looks at him, "We were close once. I confided so much in you. And you confided a lot in me. Some things that could probably get you into trouble."
    He stares, "What?"
    She sighs, "Please Rafe. I care about you and I know you care about me too. Don't make me go down for this and please, please do not make me drag you down with me?"
    He looks at her, "Oh my God."
    She sighs, "I'm sure your girlfriend would die if she knew who you really were."
    He scoffs.
    She nods, "I passed her in the hall. Cute. Is she 18 yet?"
    He looks at her, "She's no younger than me than I am to you."
    Aubrey rubs his face, "We always had so much in common."
    She slowly runs her hand down his chest.
    He pulls away, "Stop it."
    She sighs, "For now all I need is a place to sleep. Get me a room here. Preferably a suite."
    He looks at her, "And how am I supposed to explain your situation?"
    She smiles, "You'll find away. Or else you're going to leave this town the same way you came, a poor little punk with nothing to live for."
    Rafe and Aubrey stare at each other.

    Police Station:
    RJ walks through the police station.

    His brother Peter approaches him, "Hey. What are you doing here?"
    RJ nods, "Just visiting someone."
    Peter stares, "Your girlfriend didn't get into more trouble did she?"
    RJ sighs, "Not exactly."
    Peter waves him over to a private corner.
    He sighs, "What's going on?"
    RJ sighs, "Just don't over react."
    Peter nods, "Tell me what's up first."
    RJ looks at him, "I was visiting Annie Dutton."
    Peter shakes his head, "I already don't like the sound of that. What do you think your mother would say if she knew you were visiting Annie Dutton? Hell, why would Annie Dutton want to talk to you anyway?"
    RJ nods, "She knows some stuff about Belinda. And she's sort of put it in my hands on whether or not Belinda finds out."
    Peter stares, "I don't know your girlfriend but I do know that she has been causing you trouble ever since you two got together."
    RJ shakes his head, "That's not true."
    Peter sighs, "Not what I hear."
    RJ sighs, "Is it about Belinda or about her mother?"
    Peter nods, "Honestly? A little bit. Her mother killed our father. That has to shake you up a little bit."
    RJ stares, "Maybe. But it doesn't matter. I'm not Hart and Belinda isn't Dinah."
    Peter looks at him, "If I were you I would stay out of any drama that you don't need. Especially when it comes to Belinda Marler."
    Peter walks his brother out of the station.

    Mallet and Dinah's House:
    Dinah, Mallet, Cyrus and Marina are all together.
    Mallet looks at little Daniel, "He's a really cute kid Marina."
    Marina smiles, "Isn't he? It's amazing how much he looks like Danny. I figured while we were in town I could take him over to spend time with Michelle and the kids."
    Mallet nods, "That's good."
    Dinah looks at them, "Why don't you two catch up a little later? Because right now I'm a little more concerned about my daughter okay?"
    Mallet looks at her, "We are all concerned about Belinda."
    Dinah walks towards him, "What we need to do is get these two out of here. If Belinda comes home and sees them she is going to start to ask questions."
    Cyrus looks at her, "I didn't come back here to cause Belinda any pain Dinah. I came back here because I love her and I wanted to help her."
    Dinah shakes her head, "Belinda doesn't need your help."
    He looks at her, "You're saying Belinda is perfectly fine? Nothing is wrong at all?"
    Dinah and Mallet look at each other.
    He nods, "That's what I thought."
    She turns away.
    Cyrus walks towards her, "Dinah, I have changed. Believe me."
    Marina nods, "He really has. He's great with Daniel. I couldn't have got through this past year if I didn't have Cyrus there by my side."
    Dinah shakes her head, "No. I'm sorry Cyrus I won't allow it."
    Cyrus scoffs, "You are such a hypocrite."
    She stares, "You signed away your rights. You are not even allowed to be around her."
    He shouts, "You blackmailed me with Annie Dutton! And now because of your decision everyone's lives are being turned into a living hell!"
    Mallet looks at everyone, "Okay you two are going to have to leave. And we'll talk about this later."
    Dinah turns away from everyone.
    Cyrus walks towards the door.
    Marina hugs Mallet, "I'll see you later."
    The two walk out with Daniel.
    An emotional Dinah hugs her husband.

    People make risky decisions in Springfield...




    Cedars:


    Inside the stall of the restroom, Ashlee is purging.
    The flushes and walks out with her hair up.
    She wipes her face and washes her hands.
    She throws in a breath mint as she walks to the staff changing room.
    Ashlee walks over to her locker.
    She stares at herself in the mirror.
    She's a bit light headed but just drinks her water.
    As she stares at her face, she wonders if she'll ever be as thin as she wants to be.
    There are footsteps behind her.
    She turns to see Dr. Rick Bauer walking in.

    He looks at her, "You okay?"
    She nods, "Oh yeah. Just... bored ya know? It's been a slow day. But that's a good thing at a hospital. It means no one is getting sick or injured."
    Rick nods, "That's true. But your day is going to get more interesting."
    She smiles, "Really?"
    He nods, "One of your fellow residents called in sick. So I'm going to need your help working on Mr. Mahoney's surgery. You remember him from yesterday?"
    She nods, "Yes of course. Oh my God. Thank you Dr. Bauer."
    Rick nods, "You're very welcome. I'm ready to brag about you to the other doctors. So meet me in the OR and be ready to scrub up. I'll see you there."
    Rick walks away.
    Ashlee smiles.
    She takes another drink of her water and puts it in her locker.
    Ashlee turns around very fast and begins to get dizzy.
    She falls back into her locker.
    She sighs, "Whew."
    She shakes her head and walks out of the change room.



    Museum Apartment:


    Coop and Eden are helping Rocky inside.
    Rocky sighs, "I could have got myself in. I'm fine."
    Coop shakes his head, "Your doctor said that you were supposed to take it easy this week. That means you are going to have to learn to ask for help."
    Rocky sighs, "I'm going back to work soon."
    Coop looks at him, "Oh my God. Let's just worry about that later. I'm not even in the mood to argue with you about that subject too."
    Rocky stares, "My life is none of your business."
    Eden sighs, "Just relax for now Rocky."
    They help Rocky onto the couch.
    Eden looks at him, "Do you want to go to your room?"
    Rocky shakes his head, "Too much of Kevin's stuff is still in there. I can't deal with that right now. I might just sleep out here tonight."
    Eden shakes her head, "No you're not. I'll go box up Kevin's stuff okay?"
    Rocky looks at her, "You don't have to."
    She sighs, "Already am."
    Eden walks to Rocky's room.
    Coop sits with his brother, "I know she's a bit much sometimes but she does it out of love."
    Rocky sighs, "I know. Eden's great."
    Coop looks at him, "I love you too."
    Rocky looks at him, "I know. You're protective and that really does mean a lot to me. I just wish you wouldn't see me as your kid brother anymore."
    Coop looks at him, "I just wish you would open up to me and share parts of your life with me. I don't care if it's about your job, your social life, or your sexuality."
    Rocky stares, "What do you mean?"
    Coop looks at him, "If you're sick, I want to be there for you. But I can't be unless you're honest with me."
    Rocky stares, "I'm completely lost."
    Coop puts his hand on his brother's shoulder, "Are you infected with HIV?"
    Rocky stares at his brother.



    Park:


    Kevin sits on a park bench.
    He's been wearing the same clothes for over a week.
    He looks like a bum.
    Another homeless man named Gray sits next to him.
    Kevin looks around, "So this is my life now..."
    Gray nods, "Man, this has been my life for the past 5 years. Trust me, if you're not tough enough, then you're not gonna make it in this world."
    Kevin shakes his head, "No one gives a damn about me. I could sit here for the rest of my life and die on this bench and nobody would notice."
    Gray grabs a bottle of whisky out of his bag.
    Kevin stares, "Someone give you that?"
    Gray laughs, "Nope."
    Kevin stares, "How did you get it? Shop lift?"
    Gray stares, "The second we walk into any store they either throw us out or watch us like a hawk the entire time and then push us out the door once they get the money we have left."
    Kevin looks at him, "I'm confused."
    Gray sits back, "Swiped a purse. Some dumb chick was walking around with a bunch of cash in her bag. I spent most of it. But I had enough left for this."
    Kevin looks away, "I'm screwed. I don't steal."
    Gray scoffs, "You too good for it?"
    Kevin shakes his head, "Someone stole from me when I was a kid... I'd be a hypocrite if I did it too."
    Gray laughs, "You really don't get how this world works do you? The person who stole from you probably had something stolen from them. And right now the weight is on you. You need to swipe from someone else and then they will swipe from someone and eventually the karma will carry on to whoever owes you."
    Kevin stares, "That actually makes sense."
    Gray pats him on the back, "You're welcome kid."
    Kevin looks around the park.



    CO2:


    Zach and Marti are having lunch.
    Zach looks at her, "You okay?"
    She stares, "Why?"
    He nods, "You're all bundled up."
    She sighs, "It's winter Zach."
    He nods, "I know but you used to say that you were willing to risk the cold as long as you could still look sexy. I always admired that quality."
    She sighs, "I've changed."
    He stares, "Yeah you have. What's going on?"
    She looks at him, "Nothing... I just feel like my eyes are open now. I walked around thinking the world was one thing but now I see the truth."
    Zach stares, "Care to fill me in?"
    She nods, "No one is perfect. Literally, no one. Everyone has a dark side to them. It's actually pretty disturbing when you think about it."
    He nods, "Eh I guess."
    She shakes her head, "I hate it. It's disgusting how many people can just walk around and act like idiots when everything is so screwed up."
    He laughs, "Okay you're starting to bum me out. Have you been hanging around with Spencer?"
    Marti sighs, "I'm sorry."
    He takes her hand, "You've been acting weird ever since you got back from New York. I thought it was jet lag but now I'm getting worried."
    She shakes her head, "No. I'm sorry, it's just a lot of moving back and forth this past year... it's taken a lot out of me you know?"
    Zach smiles, "You're going to be okay. You're here with me now."
    She nods, "You always make me feel safe."
    She tries to stop her hand from shaking as Zach holds it.



    Police Station:


    Ava is at the police station with Gus.
    Gus looks at her, "Now with the trial coming up I know there is a lot of stress so you just let me know okay? I know a trial is tough on a pregnant woman."
    Ava nods, "Thanks Gus. You guys have been great through all of this."
    He smiles, "Of course."
    Ava looks around.
    Gus stares, "Are you sure you're okay?"
    She stares, "Can I see her?"
    Gus shakes his head, "Who?"
    Ava nods, "Her."
    Gus is confused, "What? Why?"
    Ava sighs, "I know it sounds crazy... but after everything that I went through last summer and all of the secrets and the lies... I need to talk to her."
    He stares, "I think you're opening up a can of worms."
    The two stare at each other.
    Finally Ava walks back to the cells.

    Annie Dutton is pacing in hers.
    Ava walks towards her.
    Annie smiles, "Ava. Hello."
    Ava looks at her, "I haven't seen you in a long time. Which is ironic since you're in here because of what you did to me aren't you?"
    Annie stares, "Why are you here Ava?"
    Ava stares, "Why Annie? I know you always hated me and never thought I was good enough for Shayne. But why would you have me kidnapped and try to kill me? Why would you throw away your entire relationship with Josh just to keep me away from Shayne? It doesn't make sense that you would give up everything just to hurt me."
    Annie stares, "No it doesn't. And that's why you're here."
    Ava nods, "Maybe. I want answers."
    Annie smiles "And maybe the answer is... they arrested the wrong person."
    Ava and Annie stare at each other.



    WSPR:


    Dinah is in her dressing room.
    Her hairdresser Gina is with her.
    Dinah looks through bridal magazines, "This is going to be my last wedding. So I want it to be the best one yet. But then again it does seem silly to have a big wedding when you've had... more than I care to share."
    Gina laughs, "Ooh come on spill. I can't keep track of all of your husbands."
    Dinah laughs, "There weren't too many. Mallet a couple of times but before that it was Hart and before Hart Jessup, it was his father Roger..."

    RJ walks in, "So my father and my grandfather? You sure have a thing for guys in my family don't you?"
    Dinah turns, "RJ..."
    Gina looks at him, "How did you get in here?"
    RJ nods, "My Aunt Blake works here."
    Dinah grins, "Blake acts like she owns the place. But she doesn't."
    RJ walks in, "Ms. Marler I've been really nice to you. I've treated you with respect even though I know that you murdered my father and stalked my mother."
    Dinah looks at him, "I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you but that was a long time ago and I'm a different person now. What are you doing here?"
    RJ stares, "May I have a moment alone with Ms. Marler?"
    Gina shakes her head, "I don't think that's a good idea."
    Dinah looks at Gina, "It's okay. I'll holler if I need you."
    Gina looks at both of them, "Okay. But if I hear anything crazy I'm coming back in with security. So you two don't do anything crazy."
    Gina walks out and shuts the door behind her.
    Dinah gets up, "What's wrong RJ?"
    He looks at her, "It's about Belinda, Ms. Marler."
    Dinah sighs, "Cut the polite crap. Just call me Dinah and tell me what is going on with my daughter."
    RJ shows her the envelope, "I talked to Annie and she gave me this. So right now I hold the key to Belinda finding out who her biological father is."
    Dinah stares at the envelope.

    PART TWO:

    CO2:
    Over in the parking lot.
    Marti and Zach are in his car.
    The two have moved to the back seat.
    They are kissing.
    He looks at her, "I'm sorry, I know this isn't too romantic but my family won't take their eyes off me when I'm at home and I know I'm not welcome at your place."
    She stares, "Well the Lewis vs Spaulding rivalry is kind of a big deal in this town."
    He grins, "And you had to fall for the bad Spaulding boy."
    She kisses him again.
    He smiles at her, "It's kind of like Romeo and Juliet. Isn't that like every girls fantasy? To have that forbidden romance that is like poetic or whatever."
    She laughs, "Maybe."
    He kisses her neck and lays her down.
    Marti tries to get comfortable.
    Zach runs his hand up her shirt.
    She pushes it down.
    He begins to tug on her pants.
    She pushes him back.
    He looks at her, "You okay?"
    She stares, "I'm fine..."
    He shakes his head, "You seem tense."
    She looks away.
    He starts kissing her again.
    She pushes him away, "I'm sorry... I know we haven't been able to do it since I got back but it's really cold and we're outside. It's not the right timing."
    Zach stares, "Okay. Fine."
    Zach climbs back into the front seat.
    An emotional Marti tries to keep herself together.

    Police Station:
    Ava stands outside of Annie's cell.
    Ava looks at her, "What are you getting at Annie?"
    Annie smiles, "I'm not being mysterious or anything. I'm being very clear and concise. It's obvious that I'm without much of a 'motive'."
    Ava stares, "You're crazy Annie. Crazy people don't even need motives. They act first and then think later or don't even think at all."
    Annie grins, "Why am I crazy? Because I've been committed before? Are you really one to talk about crazy?"
    Ava looks at her, "You know nothing about that."
    Annie stares, "More than you think. And probably more than you have shared with your fiance Shayne. Like how Alan Michael Spaulding pulled strings to get you released from Ravenwood without a full analysis of your mental health."
    Ava stares, "So?"
    Annie smirks, "From what I hear they have been shifting around the staff at Ravenwood, they might not be so easy to get around if you are ever sent back."
    Ava shakes her head, "I'm not getting sent back. I have my son, my fiance, and another baby on the way. My life couldn't be better."
    Annie looks at her, "Does Shayne know about all of the things you did when you were an espionage hired by Spaulding?"
    Ava nods, "In case you have forgotten, I confessed last year."
    Annie nods, "Then lucky for you, you were kidnapped. By the time they found you everyone was so glad you were okay that the dirty secrets got swept under the rug. You didn't have to explain anything."
    Ava walks closer, "It's in the past. Shayne and the Lewis family have forgiven me. And now my father is running Lewis Enterprises. I have nothing to worry about."
    Annie nods, "Unless the stockholders get word of the money you were embezzling. You needed to afford to make the renovations on the Beacon and pay for your expensive lifestyle. It would have been years for you to become successful without taking a little off the top of the Lewis fortune. Am I wrong?"
    Ava and Annie stare each other down.

    WSPR:
    Dinah stares at the envelope in RJ's hand.
    She reaches for it.
    He pulls his hand away.
    She looks at him, "RJ give that to me?"
    He shakes his head, "Why should I?"
    She sighs, "Have you read it?"
    He holds it up, "It's still sealed. It's none of my business. But it is Belinda's business, and I love Belinda."
    Dinah stares, "You have no idea what you're talking about. I love Belinda with all of my heart and I need to protect her."
    He looks at her, "From what?"
    She stares, "Belinda was devastated when she found out all of the dirty details about my past. And so were you. This will push her over the edge."
    RJ looks at her, "Who could her father possibly be that could top having a mother who killed your boyfriend's father?"
    She stares, "RJ what do you want? Money?"
    He scoffs, "I'm not you Dinah. My mother didn't raise me to blackmail and to use information to hurt people."
    Dinah stares, "There are a lot of things you don't know about your mother. Cassie is far from perfect."
    RJ looks at her, "You were always jealous of my mother and you always will be."
    Dinah shouts, "Damn it RJ! Just give me the envelope."
    He hands it to her, "Here."
    She looks at him, "Obviously Belinda doesn't know. Otherwise this would be ripped open already. So now what?"
    He stares, "Belinda is not going to find out from an envelope or from Annie Dutton. She's going to find out from you Dinah. You're her mother."
    She stares at RJ.
    He nods, "Do the right thing."
    She shakes her head, "It's kind of scary how much you remind me of your father, Hart."
    He sighs, "And if I recall, it was a lot of lies and secrets that led to his death. Maybe you should think about that."
    RJ walks out.
    Dinah rips up the envelope and throws it in the trash.

    Museum Apartment:
    Coop and Rocky sit together.
    Rocky looks at him, "Oh my God... I cannot believe you just said that to me."
    Coop stares, "Rocky-"
    Rocky starts to get up, "I never wanted to believe that you were this ignorant and homophobic. I think I'm going to be sick."
    Coop gets him to sit down, "Just relax. Okay? I found some medication and I thought it was like drugs. It was for HIV. I'm not asking you because you're gay. I'm asking you because you're my brother."
    Rocky stares at him, "Let me set things 'straight' for you. No pun intended. I have only had sex with 3 people in my life, all of which I had long term relationships with. Shayne was my first and Kevin was my last. And yes I've been tested before and I do not have HIV. I'm not promiscuous and I don't get involved with people who are."
    Coop stares, "Okay. I'm sorry. But just because you are safe doesn't mean that Kevin is. Are you 100% sure that Kevin isn't infected?"
    Rocky starts to get up, "Oh my God!"
    Coop sighs, "Rocky!"
    Rocky looks at him, "Yes. It's none of your business, but Kevin has only slept with two people in his life. He slept with Vi when they were in high school when he was drunk. And he slept with me. He said there was no one in the world he'd want to be with besides me."
    Coop stares, "Even when you were broken up for like a year?"
    Rocky nods.
    Coop looks at him, "You honestly believe that?"
    Rocky shakes his head, "Don't worry about me and Kevin. If you are worried, worry about your wife. I know all about her past Coop. She ran an "escort" service."
    Coop turns away.
    Rocky nods, "Yeah it sucks when someone says stuff like that about the person you love. Stop pointing the finger and Kevin and ask your wife if she's the one who has HIV."
    Eden walks in, "What are you guys talking about?"
    Coop and Rocky turn to see Eden looking back at them.

    Park:
    Kevin is standing around with his hands in his pockets.
    He is coughing a lot.
    He is freezing and trying to stay warm.
    A man walks past him, "Get a job."
    Kevin scoffs, "Screw you!"
    The man flips him off as he walks away.
    Kevin starts to walk after him.
    He accidentally bumps into a woman.
    She looks at him, "Whoa careful. You okay?"
    He looks at her, "Yeah..."
    She nods, "Don't worry about people like him. Times like this are rough on all of us. Luckily I just got a promotion. You want me to buy you a coffee or something?"
    He looks at her, "You're so kind."
    She smiles, "Just paying it forward you know. I am on my way to the bank to drop off some cash so I wouldn't mind sharing a cup of coffee with a handsome young man like yourself."
    Kevin sighs, "I don't drink coffee... but thank you. Thank you so much."
    Kevin hugs her.
    She smiles, "Oh you're a sweetheart."
    Kevin hugs her tight, "I don't like people giving me things. I like to get them myself. But you're so sweet to offer."
    She looks at him, "I hope things work out for you. I wish I could help more."
    He nods, "You did."
    She walks away smiling and proud of herself for being so generous.
    Kevin walks away holding the billfold he swiped from her purse.
    He smiles as he counts the money.

    Cedars:
    The doctors are prepping for surgery.
    Ashlee is scrubbing in.
    The nurse looks at her, "You okay?"
    Ashlee nods, "Just anxious to get in there."
    The nurse nods, "You sure sweetie? Did you eat lunch today? You're looking a little pale. I wouldn't want you getting dizzy."
    Ashlee looks at her, "I'm fine. Do you think I would skip lunch right before a surgery. I take my job seriously."
    Another doctor looks over, "I saw her eat lunch. She's good."
    Ashlee smiles, "See."
    The nurse stares at Ashlee.
    Ashlee gets ready and goes in.
    Rick looks around, "Okay. Dr. Wolfe is in for this one. She's going to prove that not all of the residents are lacking in talent."
    Ashlee nods, "Thanks Dr. Bauer."
    Rick looks at her, "I'm about to make the incision."
    Ashlee watches as Rick cuts into the patient.
    He nods, "One day this will be you Wolfe."
    Ashlee is starting to shiver from being so cold.
    The nurse keeps staring at her.
    A paranoid Ashlee gives her a dirty look.
    Rick looks at her, "Dr. Wolfe would you move over to my left side and give me a hand with this?"
    Ashlee nods, "Right away Dr. Bauer..."
    Ashlee stumbles a little.
    He stares, "Dr. Wolfe?"
    Ashlee begins to lose her balance.
    Rick stands over the patient while he operates, "Dr. Wolfe?"
    Ashlee knocks into Rick while he's starting to operate and falls to the floor.
    Rick screams her name, "Ashlee!?! Ashlee!?!"
    Ashlee hears the doctors panic around the patient as she passes out behind Rick.

    Cedars:



    Ashlee is lying on a hospital bed.
    Lillian is with her.
    Ashlee opens her eyes, "What is going on?"
    Lillian looks at her, "You okay? You took a hard hit to your head after you fainted?"
    Ashlee stares, "Fainted?"
    Lillian sits by her, "What do you remember sweetheart?"
    Ashlee sits up, "I was scrubbing in to go into surgery. I was standing next to Dr. Bauer and it was freezing. I started to get a little dizzy. I was calm, but that's all I remember."
    Lillian looks at her, "You collapsed during surgery and knocked into Rick while he was working on the patient Ashlee. You don't remember that?"
    She shakes her head, "No. Oh my God! What happened?"
    Lillian looks at her, "I'm sure he's okay. But you need to rest. You look pale."
    Ashlee stares, "I'm always pale."
    Lillian sighs, "Are you sure you're not coming down with something?"
    Ashlee nods, "I don't know..."
    Lillian takes her hand, "Your fingers look a little rough."
    Ashlee pulls them away, "So?"
    Lillian looks at her, "Ashlee, I know when you were younger you developed an eating disorder. Is there something that you want to talk about?"
    Ashlee scoffs, "Oh my God."
    Lillian looks at her, "Ashlee this is serious."
    Ashlee looks at her, "Stop making false accusations. Do you have idea what kind of trouble I could get into with rumors like that flying around."
    Lillian looks at her, "Do you know how dangerous it is to be a doctor when you are ill? You are not just putting your life at risk but the life of every patient you have."
    Rick walks in, "I couldn't agree more."
    Ashlee looks over to see a very angry Rick staring back at her.




    Museum Apartment:


    Eden walks over to Rocky and Coop.
    Coop stands up.
    Eden looks at him, "What the hell is going on?"
    Coop sighs, "I found medication that I assumed was some kind of drug Kevin was using. But now I know it was actually medication for HIV."
    Eden stares, "Kevin has HIV?"
    Rocky looks at her, "No."
    Eden looks at them, "Why did I hear my name?"
    Coop sighs, "I don't know who is infected. It could be anyone who lives here."
    Eden stares, "But you know it's not you. And you know it's not me because I'm your wife and we share everything with each other. Right?"
    He looks at his brother.
    Eden backs away, "Oh my God. You two were talking about me?"
    Rocky sighs, "I'm sorry."
    Coop walks towards her, "It's not like that."
    Eden backs up, "Stay away from me. You wouldn't want to catch anything."
    Coop shakes his head, "Don't be like that."
    She scoffs, "Don't act like I'm the one who is out of line. You're accusing me of hiding a disease from you. A disease I do not have!"
    Coop looks at her, "The only reason I'm concerned is because if you or Rocky were to be infected then I would want to be there for you."
    She nods, "So you hear HIV and you target the gay guys. Nice Coop."
    He shakes his head, "It wasn't like that."
    She laughs, "I guess I'm next huh? Next stereotype is the whore? Well come on ask me Coop! Ask your whore wife right now if she has HIV!"
    Coop stares, "Do you?"
    Eden slaps him across the face.



    Park:


    Kevin is counting the money he stole from the woman he encountered.
    His fellow homeless buddy Gray walks over, "What you so happy about?"
    Kevin nods, "Cash."
    Gray stares, "What the hell?"
    Kevin smiles, "You were right. It's all about taking what's yours. That lady is going to find some way to get her money back and cycle will go on. I never thought about it like that until you explained it to me. But right now everything makes perfect sense. Everything."
    Gray stares, "You're talking a mile a minute."
    Kevin nods, "I'm just excited. Sometimes everything can be so messed up and confusing. Then suddenly everything falls into place and all I want to do is take it and run."
    Gray laughs, "You're a little off aren't you?"
    Kevin looks at him, "What?"
    Gray sighs, "Nothing kid. You gonna share the wealth or what? I am the one who taught you everything."
    Kevin nods, "Let's get some food. My treat."
    Kevin stands up and starts walking.
    Gray puts his bag over his shoulder and follows, "Why don't you let me hold on to the cash?"
    Kevin shakes his head, "Nope. I got it."
    Kevin is walking very fast.
    Gray laughs, "Seriously."
    Kevin shakes his head, "Seriously. I got it."
    Gray stops laughing, "No, I'm serious. Give it."
    Gray swings his bag and knocks Kevin in the back of the head.
    Kevin falls down.
    Gray grabs the cash.
    Kevin grabs at Gray's leg.
    Gray kicks him in the face.
    He continues to kick him in the stomach.
    Gray smiles, "Here's a tip: Always carry a heavy object in the bottom of your pack.
    Kevin coughs and holds his stomach.
    Gray walks away with the cash.



    Bauer Home:


    Michelle and Marina are together.
    Michelle smiles, "Thanks for bringing Daniel over. Robbie and Hope love playing with him."
    Marina nods, "He's their brother. I know Danny would want them to all spend time together. I know it's probably hard for them with their baby brother living in California."
    Michelle nods, "How is California life?"
    Marina smiles, "Great. I'm actually looking into the LAPD. But right now Cyrus is the breadwinner. He's actually a pretty good business man."
    Michelle nods, "So he's staying out of trouble?"
    Marina nods, "Of course."
    Michelle smiles, "That's good. I don't judge Marina. Danny was a different person before we were married. I know people can change."
    Marina nods, "I agree."
    Michelle looks at her, "So how do you handle the whole topic of Danny? I mean are you going to tell Daniel about him?"
    Marina nods, "Of course. Danny is his father."
    Michelle sighs, "Good. It's great you got it all figured out."
    Michelle sits down.
    Marina looks at her, "Everything okay Michelle?"
    Michelle looks back, "Of course."
    Marina sits with her, "We used to be friends Michelle. You can talk to me."
    Michelle sighs, "I've been seeing someone. And I'm having a hard time finding a way to tell my kids about it."
    Marina stares, "That's got to be rough."
    Michelle nods, "It is. I am really falling for this guy but how do I introduce another man who is not their father? Especially after everything fell a part before."
    Marina sighs, "You are a strong woman Michelle. And a great Mom. Your children know that and they love you."
    Michelle smiles at her, "I'm glad you came back for a visit Marina. How long are you in town?"
    Marina looks down, "We'll see. Cyrus has some stuff he has to deal with now."
    The two women hug.



    Company:


    Susan and Stephanie are in Stephanie's room.
    Susan is going through her closet, "You have some nice outfits."
    Stephanie sighs, "But none of them fit me anymore now that I'm pregnant. I swear, I don't know why Peter still insists on telling me I'm beautiful."
    Susan sighs, "Oh my God. Another rant about your weight?"
    Stephanie shakes her head, "Nothing fits."
    Susan walks over, "I've never been pregnant but isn't the anticipation for a baby supposed to outweigh the problems of your body changing?"
    Stephanie sighs, "But it's not! Once I give birth I'll just be some fat chick."
    Susan smiles, "You're gorgeous. Peter is lucky to have you."
    Stephanie sighs, "I'm carrying Guillespie's baby. My abusive ex boyfriend is always going to be a constant reminder."
    Susan whispers, "We got rid of Guillespie. We never have to worry about him again."
    Stephanie nods, "I know. But Peter is amazing. He's taking on me and my baby. What did I do to get to be so lucky to have a guy like him?"
    Susan looks at her, "Will you stop it? Peter is lucky to have you too you know."

    Peter walks in, "I agree."
    Stephanie looks at him, "Ah three's company huh?"
    He laughs, "One of the fun things about all 3 of us living up here."
    Susan looks at them, "I'll leave you two alone."
    Susan walks out.
    Peter walks towards Stephanie, "I got off early. You okay?"
    Stephanie sighs, "I wanted to look decent for when you got back."
    Peter looks at her, "Would you stop. We're together, you don't have to try and impress me. Nothing is going to mess up what we have together."
    Peter kisses her.
    Downstairs Susan walks to the diner.
    Susan stops when she hears an Australian accent, "Susan."
    Susan turns.
    Cyrus Foley walks into the diner.




    Police Station:


    Ava is outside of Annie's cell.
    Annie looks at her, "You getting nervous?"
    Ava shakes her head, "Confused. You have so many people in this town to target. Why on earth are you wasting your time on someone like me?"
    Annie smiles, "You are one of the worst."
    Ava smirks, "Is that so?"
    Annie nods, "You grew up poor right? Then you found a Lewis man, got pregnant with his baby and got him to marry you. Then came back and doing the same thing with another Lewis. Reminds me a lot of your soon to be mother-in-law."
    Ava nods, "I would much rather be compared to Reva then to you."
    Annie looks at her, "You think you're a real Lewis don't you? Please. I've been in your seat before. Their love for you is very conditioned."
    Ava shakes her head, "You have no idea what you're talking about."
    Annie smiles, "They tell you they love you? They forgive you for the past. But the second you tick off the wrong person they'll turn on you."
    Ava stares, "Shayne and I are engaged. We are going to have a baby."
    Annie smiles, "A few years ago you were engaged to Bill and having his baby. Look how well that turned out."
    Ava nods, "Shayne and I are in love. It's nothing like my relationship with Bill."
    Annie stares, "Do you really think they will forgive you again?"
    Ava looks at her, "You're pathetic. Your life is falling a part so you attack me."
    Annie smiles, "Oh yes. I'm taking everyone down with me."
    Ava shakes her head, "Not me. You stay the hell away from me, my children, and Shayne. Or you will be sorry."
    Ava storms out.
    Annie laughs to herself.

    PART TWO:

    Company:
    Cyrus stands across from Susan.
    Susan looks at him, "What are you doing here?"
    He smiles, "Nice manners."
    She nods, "Seriously."
    He sighs, "I'm in town. I have some things that Marina and I need to take care of. Are you okay?"
    Susan nods, "Great."
    He looks at her, "I'm sure it's kind of obvious why I was looking for you. I'm not here to be mean or cause any drama for you Susan. I just want to know."
    She turns away, "I don't know what you're getting at."
    He sighs, "Just let me know where to find him."
    She shakes her head, "Who?"
    Cyrus nods, "You really want me to say it? My brother."
    Susan looks at him, "Guillespie? I haven't talked to him in a long time."
    Cyrus nods, "I know you two had broken up but you also have a long history together and that doesn't just disappear. I figured you might have some idea where he ran off to now."
    Susan shakes her head, "As long as he is not in Springfield then he's not my problem."
    Cyrus nods, "I know. Susan I promise I didn't come here to cause trouble for you. But he is my brother and I'm worried about him right now."
    She shakes her head, "Why?"
    Cyrus nods, "He hasn't called me for help or money or both. That's rare. Either he is happy living some great life somewhere or something bad has happened."
    She sighs, "Excuse me for not caring."
    Cyrus sighs, "You used to love him."
    She shakes her head, "Well now I'm sort of with Sam Spencer. He's out of town and we are on a break but when he gets back we will be back together. Guillespie is dead... to me."
    Cyrus sighs, "Did he have any other girls while he was here last? Anyone who might have known where he would be now."
    Susan pauses, "Uh.... no. I don't know but I don't think so. No woman in Springfield would go near him after the things he did to all of us."
    He nods, "Except for you?"
    Susan sighs, "I guess so."
    He looks at her, "I really hope you're being honest with me. Please tell me if you hear anything."
    Susan nods, "I won't hear anything."
    Cyrus sighs, "Nice seeing you Susan."
    He walks out.
    Susan gets nervous and walks up to her room.

    Museum:
    Eden walks around the living room.
    Coop holds his face.
    An uncomfortable Rocky sits in the middle.
    Eden stares, "How dare you?"
    Coop sighs, "I'm sorry..."
    She looks at him, "Since we got married I haven't had sex with anyone else! Even the time where we weren't physically together, I never did. And you have the nerve to accuse me to accuse me of that."
    He sighs, "I didn't mean anything like that."
    She nods, "I had myself tested before and no I've never had HIV."
    Coop stares, "It wasn't as much suspicion as it was fear. The last thing I want is for the people I care about to be battling something like this."
    She shakes her head, "There are 7 of us who live here. And you really thought that your brother or your wife would be the ones infected?"
    He stares, "I made a mistake."
    She nods, "Damn right you did. Besides how do you know someone from one of our parties didn't leave that lying around or something? Did you think of that?"
    He looks around, "I don't know..."
    Eden stares, "Oh my God. That's why you've been talking to her isn't it?"
    Rocky looks around, "Who?"
    Eden nods, "His ex girlfriend."
    Coop nods, "Ashlee ran the tests for me."
    She scoffs, "That's great. You two are playing detectives. I'm sure she loved the fact that I might have HIV. Then I can die and she can have you all to herself."
    He stares at her, "There is nothing going on. We broke up years ago. Ashlee and I are still friends."
    Eden nods, "I sure hope you and I are friends when you leave me for her."
    He scoffs, "Now who is accusing their spouse of crap?"
    She nods, "Hurts doesn't it? Hopefully your brother will be nice enough to let you crash in his room tonight."
    Eden walks off to their room and slams the door.
    Coop and Rocky look at each other.



    Cross Creek:
    Ava walks inside.
    She hollers, "Shayne?"
    He hollers from the kitchen, "I'm in here."
    She walks in.

    He turns and smiles, "Hi."
    She nods, "Hey."
    He looks at her, "How did things go down at the police station? I wish I could have been there for you. But I couldn't get out of my meeting. But luckily I beat you home so I could make you a snack."
    She smiles "You're amazing you know that?"
    He looks at her, "You bring it out in me."
    The two kiss.
    She looks down.
    He sighs, "What's wrong?"
    She looks at him, "We swore we'd never keep secrets from each other. And I want our relationship to be different this time around. I love you."
    He stares, "What's going on?"
    Ava nods, "Annie knows the details of some of the things I did when I was a corporate espionage trying to get information back to Spaulding. She wants to use it to break us up and drive a wedge into the family."
    Shayne looks at her, "Well she underestimates us. I'm standing by you Ava. I don't care about the past anymore. And my family will support us."
    She looks at him, "It's more than that."
    Shayne stares, "What do you mean?"
    Ava nods, "She wants to try and get me sent back to Ravenwood. What if she still has connections or if other shareholders find out what I did?"
    He stares, "No. We aren't letting her do that."
    Shayne rubs Ava's pregnant belly.
    Ava sighs, "What are we going to do?"
    He nods, "Whatever it takes to keep her away from our family."
    The two stare at each other.

    Company:
    Susan walks around the boarding house.
    She goes to talk to Stephanie.
    Right before she knocks on her door she overhears Peter and Stephanie.
    She doesn't want to ruin their moment.
    Susan walks back into her room.
    Inside of Stephanie's room.
    Stephanie and Peter are kissing.
    He looks at her, "I love you Stephanie."
    She smiles, "I love you too."
    He stares, "I'm sorry if our lack of intimacy was making you feel self conscious. I thought I was being respectful waiting for you to have the baby..."
    She shakes her head, "I'll just have to wait even longer after that."
    He nods, "I know. I'd wait forever for you. I'd wait until we were married or-"
    She stares, "You really think that will happen?"
    He nods, "Sorry if I freaked you out. I didn't mean now I just meant someday-"
    She kisses him again.
    She starts undoing his shirt.
    He smiles, "That's a good reaction."
    She shushes him, "Just show me how much you love me."
    The two continue kissing.
    He helps her out of her dress.
    He kisses her shoulders and runs his hands up her body.
    The two lay down on the bed together.
    Peter makes love to Stephanie.

    Park:
    Kevin lies on the ground bleeding.
    A few people are staring at him.
    Some people try and walk around him.
    A couple even go as far as to step over him.
    He pulls himself up on a bench.
    One woman with her children turns and walks the other way.
    Finally one man walks over, "Hey. Do you need me to call someone?"
    Kevin shoves him, "Stay away from me. I don't need you!"
    A few people run over to shove Kevin away from the guy.
    Kevin stumbles down the sidewalk.
    He has blood dripping all over him.
    He's covered in dirt.
    He falls down onto a bench and holds his head.

    His former roommate Vi Grant walks down the sidewalk texting.
    She glances at him in the corner of her eye.
    She is on the phone with Jason, "Hey Babe. I just saw the cutest thing at the store-"
    Kevin watches as his brother's girlfriend walks by not even noticing or recognizing him.
    Kevin has tears in his eyes.
    An older man walks by and throws a couple of dollars into Kevin's lap.
    The man smiles and walks away.
    Kevin quickly puts the money in his pocket.
    He slowly gets up and stumble down the sidewalk again.
    He can tell people are afraid or grossed out by him.
    He eventually begins asking people for money.

    Cedars:
    Rick, Lillian and Ashlee are all together.
    Lillian stands up, "I'll excuse myself."
    Lillian walks out.
    Rick walks towards Ashlee.
    She is looking down the whole time.
    He sighs, "Look at me."
    She slowly looks at Rick.
    He stares at her, "You're malnourished."
    She shakes her head, "I just haven't been eating as much as like... I'm not stopping eating or anything. Just let me explain this Rick."
    He stares, "I haven't interrupted you and you can't even get your sentence out. You're too exhausted to come up with another lie or justification."
    She looks down, "You don't understand."
    He sighs, "I feel sorry for you Ashlee I do. You are a beautiful young girl and you seem to have a lot of darkness in you that makes you do this to yourself."
    Ashlee nods.
    He stares, "But you have no idea how furious I am with you right now. A man nearly died because of your selfishness Ashlee. Do you understand that?"
    Ashlee has tears in her eyes, "I didn't mean for that to happen!"
    He nods, "But it did! Someone could have been killed, the whole hospital was put at risk, and your medical career could have been finished!"
    She stares, "Is it?"
    He looks at her, "You are going to take a leave of absence from the program. You are going to explain that you are trying to prevent something bad from happening."
    She stares, "I can't just give up my job!"
    He nods, "You will or else I'll have you removed. Ashlee you need to get help. I'm trying to save your career. But first you need to save yourself. Go home and call your mother and talk about getting back into rehab. I'll get the paperwork together for you. As of now you are not practicing medicine."
    Rick walks out.
    Ashlee begins to sob as she realizes what is happening.
    She can already feel the sensation to throw up the crackers Lillian gave her.

    Dinah sighs, "With your Grandmother. We really need to talk to you. And we debated a lot and realized that you would want RJ here to support you."
    Belinda looks at him, "What the hell is going on?"
    Mallet looks at her, "It's not some sort of conspiracy."
    Belinda scoffs, "What is this? Some intervention? I'm out of here."
    Dinah looks at her, "It's about your father."
    Belinda stops and looks at her.
    Dinah nods, "You want to know? Fine."
    Belinda looks at her, "What's the catch?"
    Dinah shakes her head, "There is no catch. But I don't want you to find out from a stranger. I want it to come from me. I'm the one who needs to explain it."
    Belinda nods, "How do I know you're being honest?"
    Dinah stares, "You'll just know. This is what you wanted since we met Belinda. You want me to tell you who your biological father is. Right?"
    Belinda stares at her mother.

    Bill shakes his head, "No idea what you're talking about."
    Phillip nods, "Emma... or Spencer She still hasn't come home and she's supposed to be staying with me right now. I know she's gotta be staying with you."
    Bill stares, "What the hell are you talking about? She's been at your place the past week. Right?"
    Phillip shakes his head.
    Bill looks at him, "What? Where is she?"
    Phillip looks at him, "I wasn't trying to pressure her to spend time with me. I thought she was sneaking back over here to be with you."
    Bill stares, "I'm calling her right now."
    Phillip looks at him, "I've tried. She's not answering."
    Bill sighs, "She'll answer for me."
    Bill calls her phone.

    Bill nods, "You don't know either!"

    Bill heads for the door.

    Her phone rings.
    She looks at it and grunts.
    Liz answers, "Hey. I'm busy."
    Her producer is on the phone.
    Liz sighs, "I know.... I told you I was taking the day off. The cameras follow me everywhere I go and I'm sick and tired of it... I don't care about the stupid show anymore... fire me if you want to. I don't care.... fine I'll see what I can do. You're making me get lost in my own town. I'm getting off."

    Spaulding Mansion:


    Amanda walks into the Spaulding living room.
    She sees David standing in there.
    She smiles, "Is my niece Vicky making you wait again?"
    He laughs, "I arrived earlier than we had planned. So it's not her fault. Besides I get to stick around and keep you company don't I?"
    She laughs, "You assume I'm always here... I guess you're right."
    He shakes his head, "It's cool. Plus I know there are certain people I won't run into here."
    Amanda stares, "David Grant? Do you have mutual enemies with the Spaulding family? This is something that surprises me. And interest me."
    David sighs, "Nah. I wouldn't call them enemies. At least not on my end."
    She stares, "How could someone hate you?"
    He looks at her, "I guess you haven't heard the rumors. Or the truth."
    Amanda stares, "Dish."
    He sighs, "Cyrus Foley and Marina Cooper are back in Springfield."
    She looks at him, "You didn't sleep with that girl did you?"
    He shakes his head, "Of course not. I was married to her Aunt Lucy."
    Amanda stares, "I'm still confused."
    David sighs, "A couple of years ago. A woman named Aubrey stole Marina's baby and let her think it was dead. Lucy and I found out and tried to get the baby back. But we couldn't tell Marina because we weren't sure if it was true. We got him back. But Marina had fallen into drugs and was living a dangerous life. So we decided to take care of the baby as our own until the time was right. The time never came and we fell in love with the little guy. Eventually the truth came out, everyone hated us, and our son was taken away. Our marriage ended shortly after."
    Amanda stares, "Oh my God."
    David looks down, "So now you know. David isn't as perfect as you thought?"
    She takes his hand, "No. I was going to say I'm so sorry. It sounds like you were all victims in that scenario."
    David stares at Amanda.

    Coop stands there, "Can I come in?"
    Ashlee nods, "Of course."

    She looks at him, "Of course. You can tell me anything Coop."
    He stares, "I stopped by the hospital. I heard you took time off. Can you afford to do that?"
    She looks around, "Uh... I just needed a break. I can't handle so much stress at once."
    He nods, "That's good. Your therapist always told you to never bite off more than you could chew. Pardon the pun."
    She stares, "Yeah."
    He walks towards her, "You okay?"
    Ashlee nods, "Of course. What's your problem?"
    He sighs, "I confronted Eden and Rocky about the medication. They blew up at me. Rocky will get over it, we're brothers we have to. But Eden... I've never had her so angry at me."
    Ashlee looks at him, "You're awesome Coop. If Eden can't see that then it's her problem. Maybe you should take a break. How long have you two been dating anyway?"
    Coop stares, "We're married, you know that."
    Ashlee shakes her head, "Yeah. Sorry I forgot. Congratulations."
    Coop nods, "You're acting weird. You don't drink and you're afraid to every try drugs so what's going on with you?"
    She looks at him, "Nothing."

    Jason hollers, "One second."
    He sprays cologne on himself.
    Jason rushes to the living room.
    Maureen stands holding shopping bags.

    Jason stares, "Oh..."
    She looks at him, "Wow. Someone dressed up."
    Jason sighs, "It's my anniversary today."
    Maureen stares, "Oh. I'm sorry."
    Jason looks at her, "I sent a text to all of the roommates. Except for Vi."
    Maureen looks at her phone, "I didn't get it."
    He looks at her, "I swear I sent it. It said 4 recipients, I didn't send one to Kevin because he doesn't live here anymore."
    Maureen looks at him, "Maybe you sent one to the wrong person."
    He looks at her, "Maybe..."
    She looks around, "Do you want me to leave?"
    He stares "I wouldn't say that but..."
    She looks at him, "Just ask me to leave and I'll go."
    Jason walks towards her, "It's your apartment too I can't just ask you to leave Maureen. But you might not like what you hear so... it's up to you."
    Maureen looks at him, "Am I crazy Jason? Seriously? Do you really feel nothing for me? Or are you just rushing into a relationship with Vi to avoid your feelings for me?"
    Jason and Maureen look at each other.

    PART TWO:

    Bauer Home:
    Coop and Ashlee stand together.
    She shakes her head, "I don't know what you're talking about."
    He nods, "Okay. You gonna do that? Really?"
    She looks away.
    He sighs, "You can't hide from me. You can't cover things up. I've been through this with you before and I know what you're like when you're starving yourself. When you're purging and over exercising."
    She shakes her head, "Stop."
    He stares, "Come on."
    She has tears in her eyes as she nods her response.
    He shakes his head, "Damn it Ashlee."
    She cries, "I'm sorry."
    He looks at her, "Don't apologize to me. This is not about me, it's about you! You are letting yourself down Ashlee. Why are you doing this?"
    She stares, "I know more than I did then Coop trust me. I know what I'm doing and I know where my limits are."
    He scoffs, "You think there is a healthy way to have an eating disorder? Do you even hear yourself!?!"
    She sighs, "You don't understand."
    He looks at her, "Ashlee you're becoming a doctor. Why are you doing this to yourself?"
    Ashlee looks at him, "Coop I didn't mean for this to happen. I was sticking to a healthy routine and everything was great but Dalton wanted me to relax and stop counting calories."
    Coop looks at her, "Does Dalton know what's going on?"
    Ashlee shakes her head, "No."
    He stares, "How could he not know there is something wrong with you?"
    Ashlee cries, "I don't know! He doesn't want to see it! He wants me to be happy and healthy. I don't even think he realizes how much weight I've lost. But I know he'll notice if I gain any."
    Coop stares, "Nothing is worth what you're doing to yourself."
    Ashlee cries, "Dalton is different. I can't lose him. He's not... he's not you Coop."
    Coop and Ashlee stare into each other's eyes.

    Spaulding Mansion:
    Amanda and David sit together on the couch.
    She looks at him, "I'm so sorry David."
    He looks at her, "I'm no victim."
    She sighs, "Are you kidding me? You fell in love with this little boy. You were protecting him and rescuing him from a horrible life and in the end you lose him."
    He sighs, "Wasn't mine to lose."
    Amanda shakes her head, "Is he back in town with his parents?"
    David sits back, "That's what I hear... I just can't imagine seeing him. I don't know if he would remember me. And I can't face Marina."
    Amanda rubs his back, "You're a good guy David. Don't beat yourself up."
    He sighs, "I will never forgive myself for what I did to that family. Or to mine."
    Amanda looks at him, "Does Vicky know this?"
    David nods, "Yeah. We don't talk about it much. I think she doesn't like to think of me as some guy who could do something like that ya know?"
    Amanda stares, "Why would anyone try to make you feel bad for that?"
    David looks at her, "Stop telling me what you think I want to hear."
    She shakes her head, "I'm not. I mean it."
    He smiles, "You're a good woman you know that? It's only a matter of time before some guy comes in on his horse and takes you away."
    Amanda smiles, "Any idea who that might be?"
    He shakes his head, "No. But I bet you can't wait to find out."
    She grins, "You're right about that."
    David gets up, "I need to use the bathroom. If you'll excuse me."
    David walks away.
    Amanda sighs, "Vicky doesn't deserve you David.... but I know I do."
    She smiles.

    Bauer Home:
    Bill and Phillip walks up to the door.
    Bill sighs, "You didn't have to come with me."
    Phillip nods, "This is my best friend's home."
    Bill nods, "Funny me too."
    They knock on the door.

    Robbie answers it, "Uh... hi."
    Bill nods, "Hey Robbie. Wow I haven't seen you in a while. Is your cousin Leah home by any chance? We really need to talk to her about something."
    Robbie shakes his head, "She has student council."
    Phillip sighs, "Damn."
    Robbie stares, "What's going on?"
    Bill sighs, "Spencer is missing. And I know Leah used to be friends with her so I was hoping she would be able to tell me something. I don't know."
    Phillip looks at Robbie, "Do you know who she's hanging out with?"
    Robbie shakes his head, "No one. She's a loner."
    Bill sighs, "Great."
    Robbie grabs his phone, "I can try and call her... we've talked a few times."
    The two fathers look at him.
    Robbie dials her number.
    He holds the phone up to his ear.
    The phone picks up.
    Robbie speaks, "Spencer?"
    There is no answer.
    All he can hear are the sound of water in the distance.
    The phone finally clicks off.
    Robbie turns around, "I don't know she didn't say anything..."
    Phillip stares, "Could you tell where she was?"
    Robbie sighs, "Uh... I have a pretty good idea."
    They all look at each other.

    Museum Apartment:
    Maureen and Jason stand together.
    Maureen looks at him, "Tell me I'm crazy."
    He shakes his head, "Why are you doing this?"
    Maureen sighs, "Is it just an accident that you didn't text me a warning? That you forgot to tell me that you were planning this? Come on."
    He nods, "What are you suggesting?"
    She sighs, "I don't know. Maybe you wanted me to catch you or maybe you just wanted to show me that you are moving on from me. Since you can't just come out and say it."
    He takes her hand, "Come on."
    He walks her into his bedroom.
    She looks at all of the flowers.
    He sighs, "Does this look like a set up to you? It's my anniversary. This is all for Vi."
    Maureen looks at him, "Why are you doing this? I know you. You have fun with Vi but you could never marry someone like Vi or have kids with her."
    Jason stares, "Why?"
    Maureen laughs, "She's cold. She's mean. Vi is one of the most cruel people I've ever met in my life."
    He stares, "Vi was there for me when the whole house turned on my brother."
    She shakes her head, "You don't owe Vi anything. Less than a year ago you told me to go with my heart. You told me it was wrong to fake a relationship with someone I didn't love. You should be with someone you love."
    Jason shouts, "Stop it!"
    She shakes her head, "I love you Jason."
    Jason stares at Maureen.
    He pulls her close and kisses her.
    The two begin to pull at each other's clothes.
    Jason sits on the remote and accidentally turns on the music that plays loudly.

    Over in the living room Vi walks inside.
    She stares at the text that Jason accidentally sent her, warning about the surprise.
    Vi walks in with a smile, "Jason?"
    She walks over to his room and pushes the door.
    She peaks and sees Maureen and Jason together.
    Vi stares in shock.
    She quietly shuts the door.
    Her face is beat red as she walks into the living room.
    She shakes her head, "Jason and Maureen? We're supposed to be sipping champagne and laying on rose pedals, instead they're screwing on my anniversary!"
    Vi's face shows her rage.

    Road:
    Liz's eyes are closed.
    She begins to feel pain coming from her forehead.
    She sits up as she hears Clay crying.
    Liz sighs, "I'm okay. Baby are you okay?"
    The baby keeps crying.
    Liz sits back, "I'm coming."
    She tries to take off her seatbelt but it's stuck.
    Liz realizes her seat is smashed into the wheel.
    She is stuck.
    Liz panics, "Oh God. Oh God no. No not here."
    Liz has crashed in the same place where she and Remy crashed less than a year ago.
    The baby's cry is getting louder.
    Liz sobs, "Oh my God. It's okay I'm coming Baby. Oh my God!"
    Liz screams.
    She punches the wheel.
    The glass from her windshield begins to crack.
    Liz grabs the blanket and throws it over the Clay's car seat.
    The window shatters on top of her.
    Liz tries to shield herself and Clay.
    She sees the smoke begin to fill the car.
    From the back she hears footsteps approaching.
    Liz shouts, "Oh God! Help! Help me!"
    The person walks up next to her.
    She sees the person's torso, "Oh please! Help me! Save my baby! Please!"
    Aubrey Cross leans down and looks into the car.
    Liz's eyes widen.
    Aubrey smiles at her.
    Liz's heart drops, "No. No. No!"
    Aubrey stares at Liz who is trapped with her baby in the back seat.



    Mallet and Dinah's:
    Belinda and RJ stand in the living room with Mallet and Dinah.
    RJ looks at Belinda, "Do you want me here? I'll leave if you want to be alone."
    She takes his hand, "Don't go anywhere."
    Mallet and Dinah look at each other.
    Belinda stares, "What is it? If he's dead I don't care. I just want to know his name. But if he's alive I want to know him and maybe meet him."
    Mallet sighs, "We know."
    Dinah sighs, "You already have Belinda."
    Belinda shakes her head, "What?"
    RJ stares in confusion.
    Dinah sighs, "You've known him for a long time."
    She looks at her mother, "I know Mallet isn't my father."
    He nods, "I know. We aren't saying that."
    Dinah looks at her, "After I... murdered RJ's father Hart I was on the run and later Jeffrey found me and gave me the opportunity to take the identity of Princess Cassie, that's what you know. But before that I fell into a life of crime. I met a man who taught me the con and we got into a lot of trouble together. But when he got me pregnant I sold him down the river to get free and later ended up in prison myself."
    Belinda stares, "What happened?"
    Dinah nods, "He didn't know about you until he returned to Springfield years later."
    Belinda stares, "What was his name?"
    Dinah sighs, "You met him before you even knew I was your mother."
    Belinda has tears in her eyes, "Who is he?"
    Dinah nods, "Cyrus Foley."
    Belinda stares, "What?"
    She hears footsteps behind her.
    Cyrus and Marina walks into the room.

    Mallet and Dinah's House:

















    The whole family is now together.
    Mallet and Dinah stand in the living room.
    Belinda and RJ stand in the middle.
    Cyrus and Marina are walking inside.
    Belinda looks at her mother, "No. Stop it. This isn't funny."
    Dinah sighs, "I know."
    Cyrus looks at Belinda, "I've waited so long to talk to you about this Belinda. I promise you not a day has gone by where I didn't miss you."
    Belinda stares, "You barely know me."
    Dinah looks at her, "I know this isn't what you wanted-"
    Belinda shakes her head, "Cyrus Foley is my father?"
    Mallet looks at her, "It has no reflection on who you are Belinda."
    Marina stares, "Guys stop it. Belinda, Cyrus has changed. He's a great guy and I trust him with my son because I know what a great guy he is."
    Dinah looks at her, "This isn't about Cyrus. This is about my daughter."
    They continue arguing back and forth.
    Belinda turns around to see RJ pale.
    Belinda stares, "Oh my God."
    RJ sighs, "I..."
    She nods, "Cyrus is Guillespie's brother isn't he? Guillespie is my uncle?"
    Cyrus sighs, "Yes Belinda."
    Belinda looks down, "So you're saying that not only is my mother the woman who killed RJ's father... but my uncle is the hit man who terrorized everyone in this town and killed RJ's sister Tammy on her wedding night?"
    RJ tries to hold himself together.
    An emotional Belinda feels sick.





    Lighthouse:


















    Bill parks outside the lighthouse.
    The men are all in their coats.
    Bill hollers, "Spencer!?!"
    Phillip shouts, "Spencer?"
    Robbie looks up, "Oh my God."
    The men look up at the top.




    Spencer is walking around the edge of the lighthouse.
    She is leaning on the railing.
    Spencer has taken a lot of pills.
    She is almost numb all over, but now is eager to feel something painful.
    She keeps tearing at her arm but can't feel anything.
    Bill, Phillip and Robbie run as close as they can.
    Spencer looks down past them at the freezing water beneath her.
    Bill and Phillip look at each other.
    Robbie sighs, "I'm going to try to get to her. Just talk to her."
    Phillip hollers, "Spencer. Please get down."
    Spencer is muttering to herself but they can't hear her.
    She slowly starts to climb on top of the railing.
    She can hear the water beneath her now.
    She faces the lighthouse.
    Spencer smiles, "I'm not like everyone else. My head doesn't work the same way. I feel everything. I feel love, I feel hate. I feel..."
    Robbie finally gets to the top, "Spencer no!!!"
    He watches in horror as a smiling Spencer lets herself fall backwards off the lighthouse and crashing down into the freezing water below.





    Road:









    Liz has crashed her car.
    She's trapped inside and her baby boy is in the back seat.
    Aubrey Cross stares into her window, "Hey Lizzie. Long time no see."
    Liz stares in shock, "Aubrey... you're back in Springfield. My baby is stuck in the back seat and I can't get him out!"
    Aubrey stares, "He certainly doesn't look like you."
    Liz shakes her head, "He's my son with Remy."
    Aubrey nods, "The cop who tried to put me away?"
    Liz sighs, "Aubrey you tried to kill me before, I know you hate me. But my son has never done anything to anyone. He's Sarah's brother. Please Aubrey get me out!"
    Aubrey shakes her head, "No time."
    Aubrey walks away.
    Liz screams, "No!!! Aubrey help me!!!!"
    Liz hears the back window break.
    Liz looks in the mirror.
    Aubrey reaches in, "Hey little guy."
    Baby Clay screams and cries.
    Liz looks at him, "It's okay Baby. Mommy won't let anything happen to you."
    Aubrey struggles to get his car seat.
    Liz shakes her head, "Just take him out of it!"
    Aubrey undoes the seatbelt.
    Smoke starts filling into the car.
    Liz cries, "Please, we've already lost Remy please don't let this happen."
    Aubrey picks up the baby, "Yes! Oh you're okay!"
    Aubrey pulls him out and holds him close.
    She rocks him, "Hush little baby..."
    Liz stares at Aubrey holding her son, "Aubrey... Aubrey let me out now!"
    Aubrey holds Baby Clay close as she looks back at Liz who's coughing from the smoke.
    She looks at Baby Clay and then back at Liz, Aubrey runs away.
    Liz screams, "No!!! No!! My baby!!!!!!!"









    Museum Apartment:









    Maureen and Jason are making out in the bedroom.
    Maureen looks at him, "I've wanted this for so long."
    Jason smiles, "You have no idea how much I've wanted this."
    The two continue kissing.
    Their loud music is playing in the room.
    Outside in the living room, Vi is pacing.
    Vi shakes her head, "No... Jason wouldn't do this to me... No."
    Vi starts throwing things around in the room.
    She breaks down in tears.
    Vi holds her hands over her face.
    All she wants to do is run in and attack them.
    But she holds herself back.
    Vi quickly picks up the mess she made.
    She is being very quiet.
    She grabs her bags and walks back towards the door.
    But first she goes over by the candles that Jason put out for her.
    Vi shakes her head, "You could have had me Jason. I would have done anything to make you happy. I was the best girlfriend you ever had. I was finally going to be honest and open up to you. But I will never trust someone again because of you and because of her..."
    Vi runs her hand on the candle stick.
    Vi sighs, "If I can't have you..."
    Vi knocks the candle into the pillows.
    She watches as the flames grow larger next to Jason's room.
    Vi quietly walks out.





    Bauer Home:









    Coop is with Ashlee in the garage apartment.
    She sighs, "You don't know what it's like to wake up everyday and feel like you're the most disgusting person who was ever born. To feel like you just let yourself down."
    Coop stares, "Ashlee..."
    She sighs, "Anytime I'm anywhere with Dalton I feel like people are staring. Wondering why he would be with someone who looks like me."
    Coop stares, "I can't believe you see yourself the way you do."
    Ashlee nods, "I don't think I could ever lose enough weight. I will always hate myself. Before at least I could pretend that if I lost weight things would change. But now... I'm still me."
    He looks at her, "You're still you. You're still funny, sweet, creative, caring, energetic, thoughtful, smart, amazing, romantic, brave..."
    Ashlee laughs, "That's a long list."
    He looks at her, "I think very highly of you."
    Ashlee stares, "You're good at this."
    He stares, "At what?"
    She nods, "Making me feel beautiful and important."
    He takes her hand, "You're both Ashlee."
    She looks down, "I know it sounds terrible but... I mean Dalton compliments me all the time. But it just doesn't feel the same way as when you say things."
    Coop stares, "Maybe you should think about taking things slower with Dalton while you figure things out Ashlee. I don't want to see you put yourself in too many stressful situations."
    Ashlee rubs his hand, "You still care about me."
    He smiles, "Of course. I always do."
    Ashlee stares into Coop's eyes.
    He looks down to see she's still touching his hand.




    Towers:









    Ross is in his suite.
    Blake is there with him.
    She gets off her phone, "I think they're starting to get annoyed with me."
    Ross stares, "You call them a lot Blake."
    She looks at him, "What am I supposed to do? Kevin is still out there somewhere!"
    Ross stands, "How can we expect them to find someone who does not want to be found? As much as I wish everyone could care about Kevin as much as we do, I know the reality."
    Blake sighs, "Why is this happening?"
    Ross stares, "Kevin is lost right now, emotionally. We have to trust that somehow he'll find his way back to us. Just trust your heart Blake."
    An emotional Blake looks at him, "Why are you so strong right now?"
    He nods, "I've been through this before remember?"
    Blake wipes her tears, "Dinah killing Hart is not the same as anything Kevin has done. He's not a murderer Ross. He's just... he's..."
    Ross nods, "Our son?"
    She nods, "Yeah."
    He looks at her, "And no one can love him the way that we do. It's frustrating watching people write him off as some sort of monster."
    She shakes her head, "He's not, is he? He's just our son, and he needs our help."
    Ross looks at her, "He has a great mother who loves him, it's only a matter of time before he comes back to you for help. You're amazing Blake."
    Blake sighs, "He wouldn't even come out to me. He's made it clear that he 'doesn't need' me. I feel like I failed him Ross. I really did."
    Ross takes her hand, "Never say that Blake. You are an incredible human being and I'm so happy that I can call you the mother of three of my children."
    Ross kisses her hand.
    The two stare at each other.
    They lean closer and kiss.

    He understand why Annie came to him with this information.
    Dinah looks at Cyrus, "Do you see? Do you see now why I didn't want you in her life?"
    Cyrus stares, "I'm sorry."
    Marina shakes her head, "No! Dinah get off your high horse. Cyrus loves Belinda. Tammy was my best friend and I don't hold Cyrus responsible for what happened."
    Dinah nods, "Funny because I recall you dumping him when you found out who his brother was."
    Mallet looks at them, "Would you two stop?"
    Dinah shakes her head, "Marina started it, now didn't she?"
    Marina stares, "You've never liked me Dinah."
    Dinah nods, "Well you've always liked to go after my sloppy seconds. We both know you've always had a fascination with Mallet as well."
    Mallet looks at her, "Stop it Dinah."
    Marina laughs, "Did you tell your daughter that you blackmailed Cyrus into staying out of Belinda's life? That you forced him to sign papers saying he would never tell her who he was."
    Belinda turns to her, "What?"
    Dinah nods, "Yes I did. And now you see why."
    Belinda shakes her head, "That wasn't your choice to make!"
    Dinah walks towards her, "Belinda I did it because I love you!"
    Belinda pulls away, "No! Stay away from me!"
    Cyrus sighs, "Belinda I never meant-"
    She shakes her head, "No! I don't want anything to do with any of you. I'm tired of people keeping secrets from me! You can all go to hell."
    Belinda storms out.
    Everyone stands around looking at each other with anger.

    Bill runs over, "Michelle please help her."
    Phillip nods, "She fell into the lake. I think she's taken some pills."
    Michelle stares at her son, "Robbie what are you doing here?"
    A horrified Robbie stares at an unconscious Spencer.
    They roll her away, Michelle follows.
    Bill and Phillip look at each other.
    They are both soaking wet from jumping in after her.
    Bill looks at Robbie, "You should go home. But thank you Robbie. I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't led us to her in time."
    Bill hugs Robbie.
    Robbie nods, "Okay... bye."
    Robbie slowly walks out of the hospital.
    An emotional Bill paces, "I can't believe I let this happen."
    Phillip shakes his head, "It's my fault. I did this to her."
    Bill looks at him, "I'm done fighting Phillip. We need to focus on her and doing everything we can to help her get through this. Okay?"
    Phillip nods, "I agree."
    Bill nods, "I don't care about our past Olivia, our past with our fathers, or anything else between the Lewis and Spaulding families."

    She stares.
    Coop looks at her, "Eden is upset for other reasons too. She seems to think that there might be something going on between the two of us?"
    Ashlee laughs, "Us? You and me?"
    Coop smiles, "I didn't think it was that funny."
    She keeps laughing, "I'm sorry. It's just silly. We're just friends now."
    He nods, "Exactly. We already tried the dating thing. It didn't work out between us."
    She nods, "I know right? I mean if it didn't work the first time around then wouldn't we be crazy to think it would work this time? Nothing's changed has it?"
    Coop stares, "Ashlee, you need to promise me that you're going to get help okay?"
    Ashlee nods, "Okay. I'll talk to my Mom later. I'll go back to counseling."
    He smiles, "I'm going to check in on you. Okay?"
    She nods, "Okay."
    He looks at her, "I got to get going."
    Ashlee grabs an apple, "I'm going to start eating now. I just need to get back into my healthy diet."
    Ashlee takes a bite.
    Coop smiles, "I'm proud of you Ashlee."

    She nods, "Who knows if we'll really do anything?"
    He sighs, "You're right."
