    Surprising actions are taken in Springfield.....



    Gardens:


    Everyone has put on coats.
    Buzz walks over to Reva, "Hey."
    She sighs, "Oh Buzz. This is just so hard to watch. Have you been able to get a hold of Rocky?"
    Buzz shakes his head, "He's not picking up. I knew this surprise thing was gonna be difficult."
    Reva nods, "Oh I know! I just hoped I would be wrong."
    Buzz sighs, "Well I was supposed to be at Company but Lucy went for me. I don't know what's going on."

    They turn and see Josh with Shayne.
    Josh sighs, "Son. Your sister had to go. So did Lucy. Maybe we should just cancel this."
    Shayne shakes his head, "No! I know Rocky will be here. I know he will. You just don't want me to do this."
    Josh puts his arm around Shayne, "Son I want you to be happy. And right now you look devastated."
    Shayne keeps shaking his head, "I'm just anxious. Tonight is a big night."

    Reva walks over to Marina, "Are you okay sweetheart?"
    Marina has tears on her face, "Well it looks like Rocky isn't showing up."
    Reva sighs, "We don't know that."
    Marina throws her purse, "He's not coming!"
    All eyes are on Marina.



    Carriage House:


    Rocky and Kevin are in a passionate kiss.
    Rocky backs up, "I got to go."
    Kevin shakes his head, "Nope. No."
    Rocky sighs, "I have a date. I'm so so late!"
    Kevin holds Rocky, "Listen! This is proving it! You want to be here. You don't want to be with Shayne!"
    The two kiss again.
    Rocky pushes him, "No! That's a lie!"
    Kevin walks to Rocky, "Listen. I spent my whole life trying to be something I'm not. Now I'm done! I don't care what people think about me. I'm sick of fighting who I am with you!"
    Rocky cries, "I know!"
    The two go back to kissing.
    Rocky has his hands on Kevin's face.
    The two are caught up in the moment
    Just then Blake pulls her car into the driveway.
    She gets parks her car.




    Beacon:


    Olivia walks into her room.
    She just got back from the hospital.
    She stops and looks in the mirror.
    For some reason it's not the same as before.
    She looks different.
    Olivia walks over to the desk.
    She opens a drawer.
    She pulls out a photo.
    It's of her and Bill.
    She sighs, "Bill... I really thought you were the one. I thought we were gonna be together forever. But fate had other plans. Then again. Everyone thought Gus and Harley were going to be together forever."
    Olivia sits down.
    "But Gus is a Spaulding. Just like Alan and Phillip. But Gus is different. He's hero. He's my hero. But.... he's Natalia's ex. Natalia is my friend. But then again she's with Alan who's my ex."
    She throws herself down on the bed.
    She wonders. Why is she thinking about a relationship with Gus Aitoro?



    Natalia's House:


    Rafe pushes Vi, "You for someone with a boyfriend, you sure like other men."
    She shakes her head, "I don't like you. We are using each other. There is a difference."
    Rafe walks around, "It's so cute how Maureen thinks you two are friends."
    Vi sighs, "Oh God! That girl is so annoying. But she'll be put in her place soon enough."
    He sits, "As long as I stick with he plan. You owe me one."
    Vi scoffs, "Please! I need you to seduce Maureen. This is every guys dream. Taking a girls virginity. The forbidden fruit. Getting further then all her other boyfriends."
    Rafe nods, "Yes. And then when everyone finds out she slept with the bad boy Rafe, she's gonna have a scarlet letter on her chest."
    She nods, "Yes. Then Jason and Kevin will be disgusted with her."
    He stares at her, "So which do you want? Kevin or Jason?"
    She laughs, "Well can't I have my cake and eat it too?"
    He walks towards her, "Then what am I?"
    She smiles, "You my friend are the cherry on top of my success to taking down the innocent Maureen Reardon."
    The two start to kiss again.


    Gardens:
    Buzz walks over to Marina, "Hey sweetheart maybe we should take a walk? Take a breathe?"
    Marina shouts, "No! I'm just saying that we are here to discuss love and how permanent it is but we all know it's a bunch of bull right?"
    Shayne sighs, "Marina please don't do this."
    She shakes her head, "No! This has to be said. There is no hope for any of us! Look at everyone! Reva and Josh! Just months ago they tried to get married here and now they can barely look at each oher."
    Buzz sighs, "Marina that's enough."
    Marina turns to him, "And you! You had Grandma die! And Jenna! Then Olivia dumped you at your wedding!"
    Buzz looks at her, "That is enough!"
    Marina shouts, "What about me huh? What about the basket case over here? I made plans for the future! I had a guy to spend the rest of my life with! And now look! I am going to die alone! I'm gonna be alone forever and Danny is gone!!!"
    Marina goes running.
    Buzz gets ready to go after her but Shayne stops him, "No Buzz. Let me talk to her."
    Shayne goes after her.

    Side of Road:


    Jonathan stares at Liz who's holding a gun.
    Liz is furious, "You took my little girl. You made me believe she was dead. You faked your death the first time. But this time you won't have to fake a damn thing."
    Jonathan sighs, "What are you gonna do? Aubrey will know I'm missing. Aubrey is pregnant!"
    Liz shakes her head, "So? I'll tell her you ran again. I'll take Sarah. Aubrey will go on a wild goose chase."
    Jonathan shakes his head, "No! You aren't that cold hearted."
    She scoffs, "Aren't I? Isn't that why you took Sarah from me? Because I'm such a monster!"
    Jonathan sighs, "Lizzie you need to take a deep breathe and think about what your doing."
    Her hands are shaking, "I know what I'm doing!"
    He keeps stepping closer, "We've been here before. Only it was a different road. And it was a car not a gun. And you weren't the driver. It was Guillespie."
    Liz is trembling, "Shut up."
    He continues, "He drove towards me. He aimed his car at me. He was speeding. But then Tammy came."
    Liz has tears in her eyes, "Stop it!"
    He keeps getting closer, "She pushed me. Then he kept going. He saw the lights on her face and drove the car at her."
    Liz is crying, "I didn't want that to happen! That was my Granddad! Tammy was trying to save you and..."
    Jonathan shakes his head, "Her dying wish... was only one thing. Save Sarah from the Spauldings. Her last word was Sarah. Then she mouthed that she loved me and died!"
    Liz sobs, "I didn't want anyone to get hurt!"
    Jonathan jumps towards her.
    The two go falling.
    The gun goes off.

    PART TWO:

    Beacon:
    Olivia lies on her bed.
    She looks up at the ceiling, "I've had a few good guys. Richard, Josh, Bill, Frank, Buzz. But I hurt them all. Then the bad guys. Edmund, Alan, Phillip. They all hurt me."
    She has a flashback to when Natalia showed up at her room back in October.
    Olivia sits up, "I asked for a sign. Right before Natalia showed up. Was that my sign? About Gus?"
    She gets up.
    She looks around.
    She stares in the mirror, "I've made so many mistakes. But now it's time for me to get things right. I need to do what's best for me and Emma. And when Ava wakes up, we can work on things between us."
    Olivia walks over to her couch and sits down.
    She sighs, "Oh Gus. I don't know what's happening to me. But it's your fault. And I need to find out what is going on with me. I know that you are... You are my hero."
    She lays down and reflects on the situation in front of her.

    Natalia's House:
    Vi and Rafe are on the couch.
    They've been making out.
    She pulls away, "I have to get going. I've got some church stuff I have to take care of."
    He laughs, "That's nice."
    She smiles, "We have some charity that I'm organizing."
    He puts his hand on her lower back, "So when do I get receive something for all of my hard work."
    She puts his hand back, "When you finish your mission. Once you've taken Maureen's virginity.... then I'll let you do whatever you want with me. Whatever you want."
    He smiles, "This whole plotting and manipulating is turning you on huh? Your messed up."
    She grins, "And that turns you on."
    She walks to the door.
    After she leaves he goes upstairs.
    He keeps thinking about Maureen.
    She's starting to get to him.

    Gardens:
    Shayne walks around.
    He finds Marina sitting in a corner.
    She sobbing.
    He sits with her, "Are you okay?"
    She cries, "Oh Shayne! I'm so sorry! I'm sorry!"
    He takes off his jacket and puts it on her, "It's getting cold."
    She looks up, "Thank you."
    He sighs, "I'm sorry Marina. I know how hard things have been lately. But Danny wouldn't want you to make yourself sick and upset all the time. He'd want you to be happy."
    She wipes her tears, "Shayne... it's just... it's morning.. morning-"
    He interrupts her, "I know your in mourning. But Marina things will get better I promise."
    She shakes her head, "Not mourning. Morning. As in morning sickness."
    He turns to her, "Morning sickness?"
    She nods, "I get mine at night. I'm pregnant Shayne!"
    He stares in shock.

    Side Of Road:
    Jonathan sits up.
    He rips the gun from her hands.
    Liz looks around, "Are you okay?
    He nods, "Yeah. Are you?"
    She sighs, "I'm okay."
    He looks at it, "I guess it was a blank. Lucky me."
    Jonathan opens the gun and dumps the bullets.
    Liz cries, "I'm so sorry... I'm sorry. But I don't want to lose my little girl! I can't."
    Jonathan helps her up, "I know. Liz, I am trying to do what is best for Sarah. And I'm sorry it hurt you. But I didn't want her to end up like we did. Remember when we talked about that?"
    She nods, "I remember... But I just love her. I don't want to let her go again."
    He hugs her, "You won't. Liz... I want to work on things. I want us to be there for Sarah."
    Liz is confused, "What about Aubrey?"
    He sighs, "I... I don't know what's going on with that."
    She looks into his eyes.
    Soon Jonathan and Liz kiss.

    Carriage House:
    Rocky and Kevin are still kissing.
    Kevin has his arms around Rocky.
    Rocky has his hands on Kevin's face.
    Suddenly they here a car door slam.
    Rocky turns around, "Who was that?"
    Kevin shakes his head, "Probably a neighbor."
    Rocky steps back, "Check!"
    Kevin walks over to the window, "My Mom!"
    Rocky gasps, "No. No. No, no, no, no! She can't find us here. No this was a mistake. I need to leave. I parked in the back so she won't see my car."
    Kevin turns to him, "What about what we said?"
    Rocky looks at the clock, "Crap! I missed my date! Damn it! Okay I need to get home."
    Blake has her hand on the doorknob."
    Kevin turns, "Rocky?"
    Rocky cries, "I can't do this. I'm sorry I can't! I won't!"
    Rocky runs out to the back door.
    Blake walks in, "I'm home."
    Kevin turns, "Hey."
    She is worried, "What's wrong?"
    He scoffs, "Nothing! God just leave me alone!"
    He goes to his room.
    Blake is worried about him.

    Gardens:
    Shayne looks at Marina, "Your pregnant?"
    She cries, "Yes! I'm pregnant. With Danny's baby. Danny is dead. I can't raise this baby!"
    Shayne sighs, "Yes you can!"
    She shakes her head, "No. I don't even want it!"
    Shayne looks at her, "You don't want it?"
    She cries, "I just... I can't give it up for adoption. Then anything could happen. I want to give it to my parents but they are working so hard on their relationship. I can't put this on them."
    Shayne looks at her, "Maybe I can help."
    She looks up, "How can you help?"
    He holds her hand, "We can help you. Rocky and I. You can give the child to us Marina!"
    She is confused, "Shayne what are you saying."
    Shayne smiles, "Me and Rocky. We can raise this child."

    Emotional day in Springfield after the storm......



    Cedars:



    Michelle stares at Marina, "I thought Danny was with you last night?"
    Marina shakes her head, "No."
    Michelle worries, "What? Then where is he?"
    Just then Danny is rushed in.
    They realize he was the car crash victim.
    They stare in shock.
    They go running over.

    Rick comes over and grabs Michelle.
    Marina walks over to him, "Danny? Danny talk to me! Danny please answer me! Danny!!!"
    Danny looks at her, "Marina....."
    She nods, "Danny! I'm so sorry. I didn't know! Oh Danny! Please please. I'm here. I'm not going to leave you. You are the love of my life Danny. You are everything. And you need to be okay because I need you in my life. Please don't leave me!"
    She kisses him.
    Michelle is still staring in shock.


    Downtown:


    The Spaulding and Coopers watch.
    An EMT comes running past carrying a baby, "Hurry we're losing the kid!"
    Buzz looks, "Where..... who's baby?"
    Lucy looks over, "Oh my God!"

    They all turn to see Harley being carried out.
    Buzz runs over, "Harley!!!! Harley!"
    David stops him, "She needs to be examined Buzz!"
    Buzz pushes him out of the way, "Harley?"
    Harley is laying on the ground.
    EMT's are examining her.
    She opens her eyes, "Baby.... where's the baby?"

    Phillip runs over, "Harley! Thank God! Your alive!"
    Harley looks around, "The baby! The baby!"
    Phillip is confused, "Zach? He's at home."
    Buzz looks at Harley, "The baby? Harley who's baby was that?"
    Harley is still in shock, "Natalia's.... she delivered her baby it was alive all along."
    Phillip turns in shock.
    They all hear shouting.
    Suddenly they see Gus burried under the rubble.
    Gus shouts, "Help! We need help down here!"
    Everyone looks down.
    Gus is on his knees covered in blood.
    Next to him lies an unconcious Alan.




    Road:


    The cop car is being pulled out of the ditch.
    A cop shouts, "Someone is in there!"
    Mallet goes running down.
    The door is jammed shut.
    All of the men get together to pull it open.
    Suddenly the door rips completley off.
    They see no one in the front seat.
    They looks in the back and see a huge blanket.
    They move the blanket.
    Mallet stares in shock.

    An unconcious Blake and Remy are lying in the back together.
    Both are clotheless.
    An EMT runs over and examines.
    Blake wakes up, "What happened?"
    Mallet sighs, "You two were in this car. It was hit and I guess you were knocked unconcious."
    Blake realizes she isn't wearing clothes and covers up, "Mallet.... we weren't.... I just can't let people know about this."
    Mallet nods, "Blake it's fine. You were keeping warm."
    She nods, "Remy and I are over."
    Remy begins to open his eyes.

    Cedars:

    Marina is sobbings, "Danny!"
    Lillian walks over, "Marina come with me down the hall. We're just gonna go walk for a moment."
    Ed examines Danny, "I think he's gonna need surgery. Michelle will you sign the propers papers?"
    A nurse hands them to her.
    Michelle signs.
    Ed sighs, "Michelle I'm gonna go make sure everything is ready. I'll let you stay with him until then but you can not be in that room. You understand me sweetheart?"
    She nods.
    He walks out.
    Michelle walks over to Danny who is on a stretcher still, "Oh Baby. I'm not going to let you leave me."
    Danny whispers, "What happened?"
    She sighs, "You were in a car accident."
    He looks up, "I was on the road.... by the cabin. I was in between the cabin and my house."
    Michelle nods, "It was the same road that my Mother was on when she.... Oh Danny! Where were you going? Were you going to see me or Marina? Which way were you going?"
    Danny starts to close his eyes.
    She cries, "Wait! No, no, no, no! Please! Listen to me. I don't care. I just need you to know that you are the one true love of my life Danny. I told you that. It will always be you! I love you Danny! And when you are done with surgery, we'll be a family again. You, me and the kids."
    Danny opens his eyes, "Tell Robbie and Hope that I love them...."
    A tear runs down his face.
    Michelle starts sobbing.



    Reva Bend:


    Reva turns to Chandler, "Are you saying that the woman who returned to Springfield with the face of Terri DeMarco.... wasn't Annie?"
    Chandler nods, "I believe that is the case. Annie Dutton jumped out of that airplane and you never saw her again. And that woman who was here a few weeks ago that I was treating isn't really Annie?"
    Reva is pacing, "So Annie Dutton never had plastic surgery or any of the stuff that happened after that. That wasn't really Annie? Is that what you are really saying to me?"
    He nods, "Yes Reva. The real Annie Dutton is still out there but we have no clue where she could be."
    Reva sits, "I.... I don't understand this. We've had this woman locked up for years and now we find out that she was never really Annie Dutton at all! She was some imposter!"
    He sits next to her, "I'm sorry. I don't know how but this woman got a hold of Annie's diary. She gained knowledge about her and eventually convinced herself along with everyone else that she was the real Annie Dutton that they all knew from back then."
    Reva shakes her head, "But she hated me for every thing that I had fought with her or Annie about."
    He sighs, "I suppose she convinced herself that it was true. But the fact that it wasn't may have been what caused her to have a breakdown and become the woman that we have been seeing latley."
    Reva shakes her head, "It's unbelievable."
    He looks at her, "We need to get this information to Josh."
    She stops him, "No! Josh can't know about this."
    Chandler is confused.


    Downtown:
    After Alan and Gus are rescued they are both examined.
    Beth is crying, "What is going on with Alan? Did he have a heart attack!?"
    The EMT looks over, "He had a panic attack. But he looks fine so far but we'll take him to Cedars. Detective Aitoro needs stiches. And Detective Cooper is still in shock."
    Alan opens his eyes, "Where is Natalia? Where is the baby?"
    Beth is confused, "What is going on?"
    Phillip turns to her, "Natalia was pregnant. She didn't lose the baby. The baby that was put in the ambulence was her baby with Alan. The baby is alive or was..."
    Someone shouts, "We found a woman!"
    Rafe goes running, "Mom? Mom?!!!"
    Alan looks over, "Natalia! Where is the baby?"

    A very bloody Natalia is put on a stretcher and rushed to a nearby ambulence.
    Everyone is taken to the hospital.
    The Spauldings and Coopers follow.

    PART TWO:

    Cedars:
    Danny is in surgery.
    Michelle is outside the room.
    Marina sits next to her, "I can't believe this is happening! I can't lose Danny! I can't lose him."
    Michelle stands, "How can you be so selfish? I mean he has children! He has two beautiful children who still need him and that he loves more than both of us combined!"
    Marina turns to her, "You think I don't know that? Believe it or not I love those kids too! Robbie and Hope are Danny's entire world which makes them my world too!"
    Michelle shakes her head, "You couldn't understand. You could not possibly understad unless you were a mother."
    Mel walks in with Robbie and Hope, "Michelle. I'm so sorry. Marina I'm very sorry."
    The kids run over to Michelle.
    She holds them, "It's gonna be okay. Daddy is very strong and we need to all remember that."
    The family sits together.



    Carriage House:



    The Marlers are sit together.
    Dinah hugs Kevin, "Don't get upset. We don't know what's going on. Mallet hasn't been able to call yet."
    Jason stands, "He hasn't called at all."
    Kevin sighs, "He might not be able to get reception right now. Which can mean anything."
    Kevin starts crying.
    Maureen hugs him, "It's okay. We're gonna have to wait. We'll see what happens and whatever does we are all in this together. We aren't going to let this hurt us more."
    Suddenly the door flies open.
    It wakes up Clarissa.
    Clarissa turns to the door, "Mom!"
    Blake is standing there, "My Babies!"
    The children all run over to her.
    Blake is crying, "Oh I was so worried about all of you. I got stuck in the snow last night."
    Clarissa cries in her mother's arms.
    Blake looks at Kevin, "Your home!"
    She kisses her children.

    Cedars:
    Harley is sitting.
    Buzz is with her, "Do you need anything? Water?"
    She shakes her head, "No. I'm not thirsty."
    She has a blank stare on her face.
    He sighs, "Felicia is going to come talk with you in a minute. Things can be pretty traumatic for people involved in accidents like this."
    Harley shakes her head, "No thank you."
    In the other room Alan is with Natalia, "Oh Natalia I'm so sorry! The baby is being checked on right now. I'm sure everything will be okay. And then we can all be a happy family. The Doctors said that you were gonna wake up soon and when you do we'll talk through our problems and then we'll work on everything and be happy. I promise you."
    He kisses her head.
    A doctor calls Alan over, "Mr. Spaulding we've been examing your son that was just born."
    Alan nods, "Okay. What do you have to tell me Doctor?"
    The doctor sighs, "I won't lie to you. Mr. Spaulding the baby is very sick. Now Detective Cooper did keep the baby safe and warm but it was very cold out and for a newborn.... we are doing everything we can but I won't lie to you this could be fatal. The odds are just not in our favor."
    Alan stares in shock, "Please do whatever you have to save my baby! Whatever. I just can't lose my son and neither can Natalia."
    Alan turns and stares at a still sleeping Natalia.

    Reva Bend:
    Chandler looks at Reva, "Why would you not tell Josh about this Reva? This concerns him too."
    She shakes her head, "He won't believe you anyway. He isn't very open minded. And he will think your crazy. We need to find solid proof before we tell anyone about this."
    He sits, "Reva. this is serious. Annie Dutton is not safe. And you know that from personal experience. I've only read about this myself so I haven't seen it firsthand."
    She nods, "Exactly! I can handler Annie Dutton! You cannot! I just need to find out what happened to her."
    He turns to her, "And Josh?"
    She sighs, "Josh was in love with Annie at one point. This could be hard for him to deal with. I think for now we need to dig into this and find out where Annie Dutton is now. I mean maybe she really was the one who was leaving the roses."
    He nods, "And as for the plastic surgery thing she may have had it. So we have no idea what she looks like."
    Reva nods, "But I know her. And believe me.... I will be able to find this woman. I'll find her if it's the last thing I do."
    Reva gets up and walks around her room.

    Cedars:
    Michelle sits with her children.
    Marina is pacing outside of the room.
    Mel walks over, "Hey Michelle... I'll take the kids for a walk if you want while you stay here."
    Michelle nods, "Okay. Kids you go with Mel and go stretch your legs. I'll stay here."
    They hug their mother and then follow Mel down the hall.
    Ed walks out of the room.
    The two women run over to him.
    Marina stares, "Danny. How is he? When can we see him?"
    Michelle looks at her father, "Daddy. I need to know when he is going to get out of the hospital. How long will he be in here?"
    Ed sighs, "Danny.... Danny has a few days-"
    Michelle is confused, "Days? He was seriously injured in the accident. It's gotta be atleast a week."
    Ed shakes his head, "No Michelle. The surgery didn't do much help. Danny only has a few days left...."
    Marina's eyes fill with tears, "No! No, no, no, no, no..."
    Ed sighs, "I'm sorry."
    Michelle shakes her head, "I don't understand."
    Ed looks at his daughter, "He is dying Michelle. Danny is dying."
    Marina is crying.
    Michelle is still in shock.
    Marina turns to the door but is frozen still.
    Michelle takes her hand the two women walk into the room together.
    They stare at him. The man that they both love.
    The love of their lives is about holding on by a string.

    Tragic day in Springfield.....



    Cedars:


    Michelle and her children sit with Danny in his room.
    They are trying to find a way to say goodbye to him.
    Michelle hugs her children, "Just talk to him for a little bit. Just tell him how you feel."
    Robbie walks over. He is fighting tears, "I promise I'll take care of Mom and Hope. I won't let anything happen to them. I love you!"
    Robbie cries.
    Hope has tears in her eyes, "i'm sorry for when I was a bad girl."
    Michelle shushes her, "No. Don't be sorry baby."
    Michelle takes Hope over to Danny.
    Hope leans in and gives her Daddy a kiss on the head.

    She looks at him, "Danny... You are the love of my life. We fought so hard to be together when this whole town thought you belonged with Michelle. But you made me feel like I was number 1. I always feel loved when I'm with you. You make me feel safe and secure. I just wanted so badly to get married and have babies with you."
    He smiles, "That would have been great."
    She cries, "I will never ever forget how you loved me. Thank you for everything that you have given me. You will always be my guy Danny. I don't care what anyone says. You are my love."

    He nods, "It's good that you are aware but we need to think of someway to keep you safe in case she really does show up one day."
    She sighs, "What like a secret knock or something? Listen this is just getting to complicated for me."
    He nods, "I know. But we need to make some plans. Annie could be anywhere in this entire world."
    Reva sits, "Exactly! I mean she's been out there for over a decade. And she hasn't contacted me once!"
    He looks at her, "Don't you want us to be prepared for when she does."

    He sighs, "I just want to keep you safe Reva. You seem like a nice woman who has 4 children who love her."
    There is a noise outside.

    Buzz shakes his head, "She has been turning her life around. She has come so far from the woman she once was."
    Harley looks at him, "Daddy is this more than what I think it is?"
    Buzz nods, "You know i was going to ask her out on a date. I was going to take her to the park. No fancy restaurant. Just a nice date. I really think it would have worked. She would have liked it."

    Gus is pouring a drink.

    Spaulding Enterprises:
    Phillip looks at his brother, "Alan Michael. We are brothers. If we are going to take down Cassie we need to show a united front. We can't be against each other. We all need to work together."
    Alan Michael looks him in the eye, "Let me ask you this. Would you be willing to take the backseat and let me be in charge and be the CEO. And not you. Could you do that Phillip?"
    Phillip sighs, "I have layed the groundwork already. Beth and I have big plans for Spaulding. I am ready to take the company back."
    Alan Michael sighs, "Well I'm sorry but you are going to be greatly disappointed. Because this time next year the company will be at the top and I will be the CEO."
    Phillip sighs, "I'm sorry you feel that way."
    Beth looks at Alan Michael, "Alan Michael your brother is trying to do something for you family. Why do you have to be so selfish."
    Mel looks at her, "Excuse me Beth. But Alan Michael is far from selfish. He is trying to do what's best for his family. He will be the CEO of Spaulding. I will be with him every step of the way."
    Beth nods, "Wow Mel. You certantly have changed over the years."
    Mel smiles, "And you haven't."
    Beth laughs, "I guess I should take that as a compliment."
    Mel shakes her head, "You probably shouldn't."
    Phillip takes Beth's hand, "We need to get going. I'll talk to you later."

    He sighs, "Olivia I know we haven't always gotten along."
    She laughs, "Gotten along? I'd downright say we despised each other."
    He nods, "Yeah. But I saw you. You were worried about Emma. I wasn't about to let Emma lose her mother."
    Olivia sighs, "You know what this is just too weird. I... I don't think I can do this."
    He sighs, "Okay... let's just let's do something else while we talk um... cards do you have cards."
    She nods, "Uh yeah. I never use them but I have some. What do you want to play? Poker?"
    He laughs, "You play poker?"
    She nods, "Well when I ran Spaulding it was a good way to bond with clients and get them to give you what you wanted."
    He smiles, "Exactly."
    She hands him the cards, "Okay well this should be fun."
    He looks at her, "What if we make it ineresting?"
    She shakes her head, "I'm not betting my money to you."

    She sighs, "Sometimes I can't. But I know that I have been taking him down one piece at a time. And he has lost his real power. It's only a matter of time before he finally pays for killing Tammy. When they all will pay."
    Jonathan sighs, "I know you won't want to hear this but I'm going to have Sarah bond with her biological mother."
    She sighs, "Oh Jonathan! You can't trust her. Lizzie is a Spaulding. I know she seems like she's changed but you can't trust her."
    He nods, "After what happened last time believe me. I'm keeping my eye on her. But don't worry about Liz I don't think she'll cause you problems."
    Cassandra sits with him, "So tell me about this new wife of yours what is her name again?"
    He nods, "Oh Aubrey. She's great. She's a sweet girl. She is going to be a teacher."

    He laughs, "Since when has that stopped anyone."
    She sighs, "Why are you blackmailing me? I have nothing?"
    He puts his hand on her leg, "Oh... you have something."
    She shoves him, "You know what? I don't care. No one would believe a freak like you."
    He laughs, "They'd believe the truth. That you hired me to kidnap Sarah last night and put a little scare into Jon and Liz. And I caught the second act. Where you were having pains. Nice. Real tears?"
    She stands up, "It's time for you to go."
    He grins, "Well what about bribary? How does that suit you?"
    She turns to him, "Now what do you have that I want."
    He smirks, "Listen. we want simaler things. You want to keep Liz from your husband. I need to get Jonathan out of town. He tried to kill my Granddad and almost killed my Mom. I don't want him near my family."
    Aubrey shakes her head, "And how do you plan on ending this thing between Liz and Jonathan?"
    He smiles, "Well we both know Jonathan is a sucker for a damsel in distress. And that's you Babe. If we team up we can get Liz back in the family and Jonathan and you ride off with Sarah and your baby."
    Aubrey sighs, "I just want that sick twisted bitch away from him."
    He smiles, "So is it a deal."
    She takes a glass of water and holds it up, "We are going to break up Jonathan and Liz. That psycho Spaulding will be out of my life. And that is my New Years Resolution."

    She goes through it.
    She shakes her head, "Oh my God. Mallet knows. Mallet knows about her. He knows about the baby! No why now? Why now? It wasn't supposed to be this way. Damn it!"
    She grabs her cell phone.
    She goes through it to find a number.
    Dinah makes a call, "Hello. It's me. Listen we need to talk. No.... I am serious. It's important. It's Mallet. He found out.... You know what. About her.... Yes he knows about the baby. I'm going to meet you right now."

    Police Station:
    Buzz walks over to Doris, "I can't believe this is happening."
    She giggles, "Well the rest of Springfield is probably dancing. The bitch is getting what she deserves."
    He shakes his head, "I'm not dancing."
    She sighs, "I know. Buzz I really thought that we would... well one day maybe go out or something. Stupid right?"
    He shakes his head, "Doesn't sound stupid to me. Maybe a movie. A walk in the park. Sit at a bench. Have a little picnic. A little champange. Sit under the stars."
    She tears up, "Wow you give it much thought?"
    He laughs, "A little."
    She nods, "I would have been swept off my feet."
    He sighs, "Well I never thought you'd say yes. I mean your Mayor Wolfe!"
    She laughs, "Oh! I probably wouldn't have at first. But if you were persistant. I would have had to accept."
    He looks down, "If only...."
    She nods, "I guess we'll never know. And now I have to call my daughter."
    A voice is heard across the room, "I'm here Mom."
    Doris and Buzz look over in shock.

    Shayne smiles, "Yeah. What's up?"
    Rocky sighs, "I didn't want to tell you until I was sure but now I am. I know this is right."
    Shayne is confused, "What is?"
    Rocky looks at him, "Well... okay you have your new job at Lewis Enterprises. You like it right. I mean it's a job you can see yourself doing for a long time right?"
    Shayne nods, "Well yeah. It's a good job I feel like I'm good at it. Plus there's nothing better than working with your family like that."
    Rocky grins, "I'm so glad you said that.
    Shayne turns, "Why?"
    Rocky smiles, "I was thinking of... working with my family."
    Shayne sits back, "Really? Well that's cool. I mean Company's a fun place. You could get some money. That's a nice idea."
    Rocky shakes his head, "I meant my other relatives. Shayne I want to join the force. I want to be a cop."

    Rocky isn't happy.



    Farmhouse:


    Aubrey walks downstairs.
    Jonathan is sitting at the table.
    Aubrey smiles, "Good morning."
    He turns, "Hey how'd you sleep?"
    She smiles, "Oh me and baby slept great last night."
    He loooks at her, "So what are your plans for today?"
    She yawns, "Well I was going to take Sarah on a walk this morning. I was thinking we could go just the three of us."
    Jonathan sighs, "Uh..."
    Aubrey turns, "What?"
    He stands, "Sarah isn't here."
    Aubrey worries, "What do you mean where is she?"
    He sighs, "Well she is out on a walk with Liz."
    Aubrey shakes her head, "You made her go on a walk with Liz?"
    He walks towards her, "She wanted to go with her."
    She scoffs, "Sarah hates Liz. I bet she pressured her into it. Sarah doesn't even like being around her."
    Jonathan sits her down, "Just relax. Sarah was a little shy but she seems to be coming around about Liz. And Liz is her mother."
    Aubrey stands, "What? I can't believe you just said that. I am Sarah's mother. I have been there for her. I have helped raise her. And all of the sudden you just want to cut me out."

    Cassandra is in her study.
    Jeffrey walks in, "We need to talk."
    She stands, "Jeffrey. How did you get in here?"
    He walks towards her, "I have my ways. Cassie I need to talk with you. It's about your niece."
    She sighs, "Oh Jeffrey. I'm not in the mood to hear about you problems with Marah."
    He shakes his head, "No. It's about her business."
    She nods, "Oh I heard about the whole Lewis Enterprises thing. It sounds cute. So Marah's business is a part of it?"
    He nods, "Yes. And there have been rumors going around that Spaulding is going to try and take down M&M Lewis Fashion."
    She sits, "Hmm... Well it is quite understandable. But I just have no idea what your talking about."
    He scoffs, "Wow you sound just like Alan."
    She gets angry, "Okay you know what? It's time for you to go! Now!"
    He looks at her, "What happened to you? Why are you doing this? Marah is your neice."
    She turns to him, "I'm trying to do what Tammy wants me to do!"
    He is confused, "Wants?"
    She gets nervous, "I mean would want me to do. This is what Tammy would want me to do for her."
    He looks her in the eye, "Oh my God. Do you still think you are talking to Tammy?"
    Cassandra backs away from him.



    Cedars:



    Beth is sitting in the waiting room.
    Lillian walks over, "Beth. What are you doing here? Are you feeling okay sweetheart?"

    After Lillian leaves Beth sighs.
    She always hate lying to her mother.

    Felicia opens her door, "Hello Beth are you ready for today."

    Felicia is confused, "I don't understand? Beth we've been making such progress. Why?"
    Beth sighs, "Okay. Phillip and I are trying to take back Spaulding Enterprises but Alan Michael is ready to fight for it. So Mel is helping him. I just don't feel comfortable with this."
    Felicia sighs, "Mel is my daughter. But if your worried about me telling her something you know I would never do that. Mel would never ask me too."
    Beth sighs, "I know that I trust you. But I haven't told anyone about this not my mother, Phillip. The only reason I came to you was because I was starting to lose control of it."
    Felicia sighs, "Beth... what is happening to you is treatable. But you need to take it seriously. I mean I know it's been a couple of years but..."
    Beth sighs, "Believe me. It's over. I don't need this anymore."
    Felicia worries about her.



    Cross Creek:


    There is a knock at the door.
    Vanessa answers.
    It's Mallet, "Hi Vanessa. Can I come in?"
    Vanessa hugs him, "Of course. Where's Dinah?"
    He walks in, "Dinah is out for the day. But I wanted to come here. Is anyone here right now?"
    She shakes her head, "No. Bill took the kids to see Olivia. And Josh and Billy went to the office. I'm going over later today."
    He sighs, "Vanessa I need to talk to you about something. It's about Dinah."
    Vanessa worries, "Mallet you scaring me. What's going on?"
    Mallet sits her down, "Do you remember when I came to you and told you about the baby stuff I found of Dinah's?"
    Vanessa nods, "Yeah from before you met her?"
    He nods, "I did some digging. And I know I shouldn't have gone behind her back. But I found out... Dinah got pregnant while she was in Europe."
    Vanessa nods, "Well I know that Mallet. That's why she called me for help but when I found her she told me she...."
    Mallet sighs, "She didn't lose the baby Vanessa. She had a daughter. She gave it away."
    Vanessa gasps, "Oh my God! This... This makes so much sense. She just... she was so different when we found her she... Oh God!"
    Mallet sighs, "Vanessa there's more. There is more I found out and it's not good news."
    Vanessa takes a deep breathe.

    PART TWO:

    Marina's House:
    Rocky looks at Shayne, "What is so funny."
    Shayne stops laughing, "Rocky you can't possibly be serious. Rocky you are talking about becoming a police officer. Really? You?"
    Rocky scoffs, "Really me? What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
    Shayne sighs, "I didn't mean it like that. I mean your a sweet guy. And your a little sensitive. I just don't think it's the right career for you."
    Rocky shakes his head, "I used to be like that. But I've grown up. I've changed a lot."
    Shayne sighs, "Rocky it is just too dangerous for you. I'm sorry but you can't do that."
    Rocky looks at him, "Shayne this is becoming my dream."
    Shayne puts hugs him, "Look I'm sorry. I'm sorry but no."
    Rocky stands up, "No? No? Are you serious? Did you really just say that?"
    Shayne sighs, "I'm sorry if that upsets you but no."
    Rocky scoffs, "Oh my God! You are my boyfriend Shayne! You are not at all my boss!"
    Shayne stands, "What is wrong with you? You don't really want this you just want to have your fun and then you'll quit once things get tough. Come on I know you."
    Rocky shakes his head, "If that's what you think then clearly you don't know me at all!"
    Rocky grabs his coat and leaves.

    Cedars:
    Felicia stands, "Beth you started taking these sessions because you were worried that your problem was coming back. And you have confided so much in me. This could get very complicated again."
    Beth sighs, "I know that! But.... listen I kept it a secret before."
    Felicia sighs, "That was two years ago! And Phillip wasn't in town then. Beth you need to accept that you need help."
    Beth shakes her head, "No. Listen. I'm sorry. I really am but I just can't do this anymore. I am taking care of myself now Felicia. I appreciate everything you've done for me. But now it's time for me to move on and get past all of it. On my own."
    Felicia hugs her, "Beth. If you ever change your mind please please call me. I'm worried."
    Beth shakes her head, "No need. I am fine. Thank you."
    Beth walks out of the office.
    On her way out she bumps into someone.
    Beth looks at her, "I'm sorry Ma'am."
    The woman laughs, "Ma'am. Is that anyway to talk to me?"
    Beth laughs, "Do I know you miss?"
    The woman scoffs, "Are you joking? Beth it's me. Winnie. Your friend. I haven't talked to you in a couple of years but we used to be pretty good friends."
    Beth sighs, "I'm sorry I didn't recognize you."
    Win shakes her head, "Well I look the same as always. Remember when you were married to Alan we used to go out to lunch while our husbands had business meetings."
    Beth nods, "I remember now. I'm sorry."
    Win looks at her, "You know Beth you are just... I don't know there is something not quite the same about you."
    Beth worries.

    Cross Creek:
    Vanessa cries, "I can't believe this. My Baby's baby is dead?"
    Mallet sighs, "I found the information in Jeffrey's own desk. I haven't asked him about it because I feel like I need to talk to someone else. I wanted you to know before I broke the news to Dinah."
    Vanessa sighs, "Oh my God! Mallet do you know what this will do to her. Mallet this will ruin her. Everything she has been working on. She will be a complete wreck when she finds this out."
    He stands up, "Vanessa what am I supposed to do? I have to tell Dinah! This is her child!"
    Vanessa turns to him, "Do you know what will happen? She will never forgive herself. I know how hard it is to give up a child. The fact that she did that shows so much stregnth. But if she finds out her child died in a fire.... it will tear her a part."
    Mallet sighs, "What are you saying I keep this from her?"
    Vanessa shakes her head, "No! But... you don't have to tell her right now. She's so happy with Baby Anthony. I don't want this to ruin that... I just... I wanted her to have the life that she always wanted."
    Mallet hugs Vanessa, "That's all I want to."
    The two worry about Dinah.

    Bauer Home:
    Roxie shoves Rusty, "You need to leave me the hell alone!"
    He sighs, "Where are you going next? The Spaulding Mansion? Going to leave a rose for Cassie too?"
    Roxie turns, "Just leave me alone Rusty!"
    He grabs her arm, "What is wrong with you? You have been stalking Mindy and Cassie? Why?"
    Roxie shakes her head, "You wouldn't understand okay. You could never understand. Those bitches deserve everything."
    He stares, "Oh my God! I just remembered. My first night back in Springfield. I saved Mindy from being hit by a car. It was you! You tried to kill Mindy that night."
    She backs up, "You have no idea what your getting yourself into brother. You need to pretend like you don't know anything."
    Rusty stares, "Oh my... You have lost it. I mean I thought you were a little bit emotional but wow! This is just... what would Mama have to say about all of this?"
    She scoffs, "How the hell dare you bring up Mama!"
    He sighs, "You know she'd tell you to stop!"
    Roxie goes to walk away.
    Rusty gets in front of her.
    She grabs his throat, "Now listen! I love you my brother! But if you keep getting in my way... you will be very sorry."
    Rusty is shocked to see this side of Roxie.

    Farmhouse:


    Aubrey is pacing the room.
    Liz and Sarah walk in.
    Liz smiles, "We're back."
    Sarah is smiling at first but soon frowns.
    Aubrey runs over, "Oh I'm sorry sweetheart. I know you must have been upset."
    Liz scoffs, "What are you talking about?"
    Aubrey looks at Sarah, "She is freezing! Oh my God! You forgot her scarf."

    Liz is in shock.

    Mansion:
    Cassandra walks across the room, "I'm getting security."
    Jeffrey stares, "Oh my God. Cassie whatever you think is going on is all in your head. Tammy isn't talking to you."
    She turns to him, "How the hell would you know? Tammy was my daughter. She would want me to do this?"
    He shakes his head, "No. Tammy? Tammy wasn't about vengance. She was about forgiveness. You used to be too."
    She sighs, "And look where it got my daughter. She's dead. The Spauldings took her away from me. Now I've taken everything away from them. Their house, the company, the name. All of it belongs to me!"
    He sighs, "What about the Lewises? What did they do to you?"
    She shouts, "They forgot! They all want to forget about Tammy! Put her in the past! But I can't! I won't!"
    Jeffrey shakes his head, "I think this is all about Josh. Because he left you for her."
    She nods, "Her. You mean my sister Reva. Reva the amazing woman who everyone just loves. Or do you mean Reva the slutty sick twisted bitch! The one who manipulates to get what she wants? She had you and Josh and she tossed both of you aside!"

    An informative afternoon in Springfield....



    Mall:


    Rocky's walking around thinking.
    He finds a place where no one is around.
    He sits on the bench and thinks.
    Rocky sighs, "I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. If someone could just give me a sign...."
    Suddenly he hears footsteps behind him.
    He turns around.

    Kevin is standing behind him, "Hey Rocky. Long time no see."
    Rocky looks around, "Uh... hey. How have you been?"
    He sighs, "Uh fine. What's going on with you?"
    Rocky looks down, "Well um, I'm still with Shayne if that's what you mean?"
    Kevin sits, "You know I just... I want you to be happy. If Shayne is what you want then go for it. But if he's not..."
    Rocky shakes his head, "You don't understand. Shayne is so important to me. And we have a bright future together."
    Kevin sighs, "Do you really know that?"
    Rocky nods, "We are planning a commitment ceremony. And then there is no going back."
    Kevin laughs, "Nothing is set in stone."
    Rocky sighs, "There's more to it. In a few months things will be different. Shayne and I will be parents."
    Kevin stares in shock.



    Marina's House:


    Shayne sits on the couch.
    Marina walks in, "I'm home boys. What's for dinner?"
    Shayne sighs, "Uh... Rocky had to go and didn't make anything. I can order a pizza."
    She looks at him, "Is everything okay?"
    He shakes his head, "We had a stupid fight. I just... I worry about him all the time and he just doesn't accept that I am always going to worry about him not matter what."
    She sits with him, "Oh yeah. I remember that. You are a very protective boyfriend. But then again there was a lot to protect me from back then. You were always a good boyfriend Shayne."
    He smiles, "Well thanks. I needed to hear that. I miss how uncomplicated things were with me and Rocky before we came back to Springfield. I mean I didn't think it was going to be so hard."
    She nods, "Well sometimes relationships can be difficult. But then again I don't think ours was. Actually I think my relationship with you was possibly my easiest relationship."
    He smiles, "Yeah me too."
    She turns to him, "Shayne do you ever wonder about us?"
    He sits up, "What do you mean?"
    She sighs, "If I had gone with you to Peace Corps. And I was with you still.... where would we be now?"
    The two stare into each other's eyes.



    Reva Bend:


    Roxie walks inside.
    Rusty follows, "We aren't done talking about this."
    She shouts, "Leave me alone."
    He shakes his head, "No."
    She shouts, "Get out! Go away!"
    He sighs, "Just let me try and understand."
    She shakes her head, "No! No. You could never understand me. You never have and never will."
    Rusty sighs, "Little Sister. You are in a lot of trouble. It it my job to help get you out of it."
    She shakes her head, "I don't need you. I don't need anyone. I have been fine on my own for a long time now. I learned to take care of myself and that it what I plan to do."
    He sighs, "I just want to help you. You are sick. You need help whether you want to admit it or not."
    She turns to him, "I am not sick. I am fine. I am actually at the top of the world. Because I am realistic. I know how the world works now. You don't get what you want by sitting around being good and nice. If you want something you have to go up and take it!"
    Rusty shakes his head, "I can't let you continue with this."
    Roxie walks over to him, "Yes you can. Because you know that in the end this will benefit both of us."
    Rusty is confused by her.

    Michelle walks over to him, "Hello Jeffrey."
    He stands, "How is she?"
    She looks at him, "Cassie is resting right now."
    He nods, "Do we know what caused this?"
    Michelle sighs, "Well we warned Cassie about this. But she doesn't want to listen. She never sees her Oncologist. She just keeps getting worse and worse and doesn't want to do a thing about it."
    He stops her, "Wait... oncologist? That's a cancer doctor. Why would Cassie need a cancer doctor?"
    Michelle is surprised, "Oh... I thought she'd told you all. Jeffrey she has a brain tumor. She's known about it for a while now."
    He shakes his head, "Well I mean she hasn't been close with any of us in a while."
    Michelle sighs, "Jeffrey this isn't new. She started to find out about it... back when she was dating you."
    Jeffrey shakes his head, "No that was years and years ago."
    Michelle sighs, "I don't know much about the case. But she's getting worse. She needs surgery but refuses it. The surgery is life threatening. But without it.... her doctors predict that she'll be gone by the end of the Spring."
    Jeffrey stares in shock, "You can't be serious. Are you telling me that all this time that she was taking over Springfield.... Cassie has been dying?"



    Lillian's House:


    Beth walks inside.
    Lillian is at work.
    Phillip took the kids out.
    She has the house all to herself.
    Beth walks in and paces.
    Beth looks in the mirror.
    She talks to herself, "By looking at you I would never guess.... but soon they'll all be able to tell that there is something very wrong with you. You didn't recognize that woman at the hospital."
    Beth walks to her bedroom.
    She goes into her drawer and digs around.
    She pulls out a key.
    She sighs, "I found this key a few weeks ago. And... I still have no idea what it goes too.... Why? Why don't I remember this... I can't let this happen. I won't let this happen to me. Not now."
    Beth holds the key.
    It looks familiar but she has no idea what it goes to.
    All she knows is that it's important.
    She hears the door open to the house.
    She throws the key back in her drawer.



    Lewis Fashion:


    Marah is at her desk working on designs.
    Liz walks in a knocks on the door.
    Marah sees her, "I'm sorry Lizzie. We don't allow your type around here."
    Liz scoffs, "What is my type."
    She grins, "Well let's see your a Spaulding. Oh and a bitch. But I guess that is a redundant statement."
    Liz walks in, "I need to talk with you. It's about your brother. I'm really worried about him."
    Marah nods, "So am I. I know he's letting you back into Sarah's life. I don't think he should trust you."
    Liz sighs, "It's not me! It's Aubrey. Aubrey is trying to brainwash Sarah into hating me."
    Marah looks at her, "Wow Lizzie. Your lies just get more ridiculous each and everytime."
    Liz shakes her head, "I'm not lying. Aubrey isn't the sweet girl you all think she is."
    Marah laughs, "Oh I bet she's so horrible and evil right? And you are just the inncent little Lizzie right?"
    Liz stares, "Why don't you believe me?"
    Marah stands, "The last time someone in my family believed you Tammy ended up dead. You may be trying to convince everyone you've changed. But you are just a Spaulding in sheeps clothing."
    Liz feels hopeless.

    PART TWO:

    Reva Bend:
    Rusty stares at Roxie, "What are you talking about sister?"
    Roxie grins, "Listen. I want Rick. If I get Rick then Rick leaves Mindy. Then that leave Mindy available. And you'd have to be a complete idiot not to see that you want Mindy."
    Rusty just keeps staring.
    Roxie grins, "Ooh. I peeked your interest now huh?"
    He shakes his head, "You don't know what your talking about Roxie."
    She laughs, "Don't I? Admit it you have feelings for Mindy."
    Rusty nods, "Of course I do! Mindy is an amazing woman!"
    Roxie smiles, "See it works! I get Rick! You get Mindy! Everyone wins! In the end they'll thank us for it."
    He shakes his head, "If it's so right then why do we have to go behind their backs?"
    She sighs, "Just please look at it as helping them realize what we already know. That they are each meant for us. Not each other."
    Rusty sighs, "I'm sorry sister. But I am not getting myself involved in your twisted games."
    She gets angry, "I knew you didn't have the guts to do it. Well if you aren't with me your against me!"
    He shakes his head, "I'm never against you."
    She scoffs, "If you aren't going to help me then leave."
    He sighs, "Roxie."
    She shouts, "Go!"
    Roxie runs into her room.
    Rusty leaves.

    Mall:
    Kevin stares at Rocky, "Are you joking? I mean last time I checked it was impossible for two men to have a child."
    Rocky sighs, "We're adopting."
    Kevin shakes his head, "That could take a while."
    Rocky shakes his head, "We already have a baby. Marina's baby. We're going to raise it."
    Kevin is in shock, "Oh my God. That's... I mean you think your ready to be a parent?"
    Rocky nods, "Well... I mean we're ready. Like... I mean what's wrong with us?"
    Kevin sighs, "Well you are barely old enough to drink! I mean how could you want to adopt a child at your age."
    Rocky looks down, "Well Shayne really feels that..."
    Kevin nods, "Oh Shayne. Shayne is at the point where it's time to have children. So you have to do what Shayne says."
    Rocky shakes his head, "It's not like that. I get to make my own decisions."
    Kevin laughs, "Like what? What shirt your going to wear?"
    Rocky scoffs, "Well I'm going to be a cop. Shayne hates the idea but he's going to deal. Because it's my passion."
    Kevin is surprised, "The police eh?"
    Rocky nods, "Yeah You got a problem with it?"
    Kevin shake his head, "No... it makes sense. You have that spirit that cops need. I think you'll do great at it."
    Rocky is surprised by Kevin's reaction, "Oh... thanks."
    Kevin gets up, "I got to get going."
    Rocky looks at him, "Kevin. I... I hope you find a guy for you."
    Kevin shakes his head, "There's only one guy I want. If I can't have him then I don't want any."
    Kevin walks away.
    Rocky is left speechless.

    Marina's House:
    Shayne looks at Marina, "Us? I guess I do think about it sometimes. But I didn't want to take you away from your family."
    She nods, "Well yeah... I just wonder. I mean you seemed to have grown a lot with the experience."
    Shayne nods, "Yep that's how I met Rocky."
    She turns to him, "Was there anyone else?"
    Shayne sighs, "There was this one girl I was with for a while. She was sweet and kind. But she had a guy she wasn't over yet. And I wasn't..."
    Marina looks at him, "You weren't what?"
    Shayne smiles, "I wasn't over you yet. It took me a while."
    Marina nods, "Yeah me too. I mean once I met Danny that changed things. But a part of me always wondered about you. And if we were ever going to get back together or something."
    He nods, "Well yeah. But that's just what people do you know? I mean we were each other's first loves."
    She has a nervous laugh, "Yeah. And now your in a relationship with my Uncle."
    He sighs, "I know how difficult this has been for you. Rocky and I never wanted it to hurt you."
    She shakes her head, "Don't worry about me. I just want you to be happy with the person that you are in love with."
    Shayne smiles at her.
    Marina impulsivly pulls him into a kiss.

    Lillain's House:


    Beth walks into the livingroom.
    Phillip walks over, "I just put Penelope down for her nap. James is in his room. How was your day."
    She kisses him, "It was okay. I just had to run a few errands. So did you guys have fun?"
    He nods, "Yeah we did. But we would have had more fun with you there. We missed you."
    She nods, "I missed you too. But we can go together next time. We can get Mom. And Lizzie and Sarah. It can be a whole family thing."
    He hugs her, "Are you sure your okay?"
    Beth nods, "Yeah. Why do you ask?"
    He sighs, "Well you just seem to be nervous and quiet latley. And you are always busy with something. I'm just worried about you. I want to make sure your alright."
    She nods, "I am Phillip. I'm okay as long as I'm with you."
    Phillip grins, "Beth... I know we've been beating around the bush with this relationship. But I love you. You are the love of my life."
    She nods, "Your the love of my life too. You always have been and alway will be."
    He smiles, "Well why don't we say it more often? I love you. I love you with all my heart. I want to marry you Beth?"
    Beth shakes her head, "Wait what? What did you say?"
    He smiles, "Beth I want us to get remarried. Please say yes."
    Beth is in shock.

    Lewis Fashion:
    Liz looks at Marah, "Will you please at least try to listen to me. I am telling you the truth."
    Marah sighs, "You know Lizzie. I always felt bad for you. You never had a lot of friends. And boys never seemed to like you. But then a part of me knew it was because you were evil and manipulating. That's just who you are. Your a Spaulding."
    Liz sighs, "Are you going to listen to me at all or just throw insults around because it's not fair."
    Marah looks at her, "Your going to tell me what's fair? Jonathan and Aubrey are married. He is finally happy after Tammy died. And all you want to do is take that away from him. What the hell is wrong with you?"
    Liz shakes her head, "That's not what I'm doing!"
    Marah nods, "Yes it is! That's all you ever do. Because you are a selfish bitch. Jonathan deserves to be happy."
    Liz shakes her head, "Aubrey is going to hurt him. He won't be happy with her ever."
    Marah sighs, "You are pathetic. You really think I'm going to believe you? You are the reason that my cousin is dead. Because of you and your sick family. Get out of here before I have you thrown out."
    Liz leaves.
    Marah sits back at her desk.
    Marah takes out her phone.
    Aubrey sent her a text message thanking her for the lunch they had earlier that day.

    Cedars:


    Jeffrey walks into Cassandra's room.
    She is in her bed.
    She starts to open her eyes.
    He looks at her, "We need to talk Cassie."
    She looks around, "I need to leave. I need to get out of here."
    He shakes his head, "Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell anyone about this?"
    She scoffs, "About what?"
    He sighs, "You have a brain tumor."
    She shakes her head, "I have no idea what you are talking about Jeffrey. You are nuts."
    Jeffrey keeps looking at her, "The doctors told me. You have known for a while and never told anyone? Not me, Josh, anyone?"
    She gets angry, "They shouldn't have done that. I'll have everyone on staff fired for that!"
    He sighs, "You need to have the surgery. You need to save your life."
    She shakes her head, "No. No I'm not getting rid of the tumor."
    He gets angry, "What? Why the hell not? Do you have some attactment to it?"
    She cries, "I don't want to lose her all over again?"
    Jeffrey is confused, "Who?"
    She cries, "Tammy... I don't want to lose my visions of Tammy."
    Jeffrey stares in shock.

    Malah House:



    Dinah is going through her paperwork.
    Mallet walks over, "What's going on?"
    She grins, "The tests are back. It's official. I am Belinda's biological mother."
    He smiles, "That's great. Now we can be 100% sure we've found your real daughter."
    Dinah nods, "And of course now the courts are going to have to side with me when they see this."
    Mallet stares, "Oh so you are still planning to take it that far?"
    She turns to him, "Mallet I'll take it as far as I have to. I'm not stopping until I have my daughter back."
    He sighs, "You need to understand. Harley loves her. In her heart Belinda is still her child."
    Dinah shakes her head, "You know what? This isn't fair. I am reunited with my daughter after all of these years. And Harley is the victim in all of this. Not me. Not Belinda. Harley!"
    He scoffs, "I'm not saying that. I am so sorry for what happened to you two. But Harley didn't do it. She had no idea that Belinda was your biological daughter. No one did."
    Dinah sighs, "Well now we know that she is. And I will die before I lose my baby again."
    Mallet has a strange feeling about all of this.




    Motel:



    Harley walks into the room.
    Cyrus is there, "Your here."
    She sighs, "Where have you been? I've been calling you! Then out of no where you tell me to meet you here! What the hell is going on Cyrus?"
    He sighs, "Harley this is important."
    She nods, "I know it is! It's about my daughter."
    He is surprised, "What? You mean...."
    She nods, "Belinda! Her biological mother is trying to take her away from me and I'm not going to let it happen."
    Cyrus stands up, "Are you kidding me? She can't do that. She gave her up. Belidna is yours now."
    Harley sighs, "Well she is going to try. And she always fights dirty when she gets angry."
    Cyrus is confused, "Who are we talking about?"
    She sighs, "Oh I didn't tell you the best part. Belinda's biological mother. It's Dinah. Dinah Marler."
    Cyrus sits down, "I don't.... I don't understand, your saying..."
    Harley sighs, "Dinah had her years ago but gave her away. I don't know all the details but Dinah is going after custody now."
    Cyrus is still in shock, "I'm uh, I'm going to help you."
    She turnst him, "Well I hope you mean it. Because now I need you now more than ever."
    Cyrus and Harley look into each other's eyes.



    Company:



    Coop is getting dressed.
    Ashlee wakes up, "Are you leaving?"
    He nods, "Yes. I sort of have a job to go to. But don't tell anyone okay? It's the first day and I just don't want to make a big deal out of it. It's only temporary."
    She sighs, "Coop your family still thinks you are writing novels and stuff. Are you ever going to tell them you gave that up?"
    He sighs, "They wouldn't understand. They would think I was giving up on something I loved."
    She sits up, "I know it's not that. It's not like you don't love writing anymore. But your heart isn't in it. It's time to move on in life."
    He nods, "I just wish people could understand that just because people move on doesn't mean that things are bad."
    Ashlee looks at him, "Are we talking about careers still?"
    He sighs, "I think we both know what we're talking about."
    She gets up, "We can't keep this a secret for too long."
    He nods, "I know that."
    She walks over to him, "I mean it's only a matter of time. One day your Dad will walk in and see me sleeping in bed and you on the couch. He already noticed my ring was gone."
    Coop turns to her, "We'll tell them soon."
    She sighs, "I don't know how we are supposed to tell them that instead of bringing us closer, the trip ended our relationship."
    Coop hugs Ashlee.



    Mansion:



    Cassandra stands at the gate.
    Reva is waiting on the other side, "Are you going to let me in?"
    She shakes her head, "No. I don't think I should let you in. Why are you here Reva?"
    Reva sighs, "Listen. I have to talk to you Little Sister."
    She rolls her eyes, "I'm right here. Start talking Reva. I'm here to listen to you."
    Reva scoffs, "Really? You don't want me to tell you all of this through the gates to the Spaulding Mansion."
    Cassandra shakes her head, "It's not the Spaulding Mansion! It's my Mansion. God it is so hard for you to accept that I am the one who's living on the big mansion on the hill and you are down in your little bungalow."
    Reva laughs, "Wow! You are just too great Cassie! I mean is this really what you want to do?"
    She turns around, "Good bye Reva."
    Reva shouts, "Wait! Just listen. I have to warn you Cassie. I am in danger and so are you."
    She sighs, "You have 1 minute."
    Reva looks at her, "Cassie she has come back into our lives.'
    Cassandra is confused, "Who?"
    Reva sighs, "Annie Dutton."
    Cassandra backs away from the gate.



    Beacon:




    Rusty is in his room.
    Mindy lets herself in.
    He turns to her, "Melinda Sue. What are you doing here?"
    She runs over and kisses him.
    He pulls away, "Wait wait. What is going on?"
    She sighs, "Rusty I want you. I want you so bad right now."
    He backs away, "This has to be a dream. I'm going to wake up any minute now and laugh."
    She shakes her head, "This is real Rusty. I am here. I have fought this ever since you came back to town. I want you Rusty. I never really got over you. I want you."
    He nods, "You keep saying that."
    Mindy takes his arm, "It's true. Rusty, I've wanted you all along."
    He backs up, "What abour Rick?"
    She sighs, "Rick and I are over. I know that I thought I wanted to be with him. But all along you and I both knew that we were meant for one another. We are meant to be together."
    Rusty shakes his head, "I can't do this. I can't. You want Rick. You chose Rick. I'm not going to be your rebound."
    She shakes her head, "You could never be rebound with me. Rusty you know how much I want to be with you."
    He walks to the door, "It's time for you to leave."
    He goes to open the door.
    She shuts it, "No! I'm not going anywhere."
    She pulls him back into a kiss.


    Motel:
    Cyrus looks at Harley, "Is there something you are not telling me?"
    Harley sighs, "Gus. He's popping pills again. He isn't fit right now. He's going to be out of the picture until he can get himself together. Otherwise he'll complicate things."
    He stands up, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry this is happening to you."
    She shoves him, "I'm still mad at you! You are supposed to be there for me when I need you!"
    He sighs, "Harley I had no idea. I didn't know this was going to happen to you and Belinda."
    She shakes her head, "No! I called you! I called and called. You never called me back. You just let me feel like an idiot."
    He sighs, "I'm sorry. I lost my phone. That's why I used a payphone to call you this time."
    She sighs, "Why didn't you use one before?"
    He looks down, "I had a lot going on> I couldn't call you."
    She walks over to him, "You still haven't told me what is going you. You said it was a job opportunity. But it is obvious now that you were lying to me then. So what is it?"
    Cyrus sighs, "I was trying to help you."
    She shakes her head, "No! If you were trying to help me then you would be helping my daughter!"
    He nods, "I was!"
    Harley stares with confusion.

    PART TWO:

    Mansion:
    Cassandra stares at Reva, "What are you talking about?"
    Reva sighs, "Chandler and I found out the truth about Annie. She is coming back to Springfield. We don't know when or why. But she is and we need to be prepared for when she does."
    She scoffs, "We? Who the hell is we? Oh wait you me and Josh? No, I do not think so."
    Reva nods, "We as in all of us. Including Blake, Harley, Phillip, Rick, and everyone else connected to her."
    She shakes her head, "Look at that list. I'm probably on the bottom of it. Besides what do I have to worry about. Look at me. I'm sitting pretty up here in my house."
    Reva sighs, "Annie Dutton is insane. There's no telling what she could be up to after all of this time."
    Cassandra sighs, "She wasn't insane until you ruined her life with Josh."
    Reva backs away, "I cannot believe that you are sticking up for Annie Dutton."
    Cassandra sighs, "Maybe I understand her more now. Me, Olivia, Annie. We all share something."
    Reva has tears in her eyes, "Your hatred for me? Well you know what I'm sorry I even came here. If you want to be in denial fine. But it's your death sentence."
    She gets furiuos, "Go away! Get out of my sight!"
    Cassandra storms into her house.

    Company:
    Coop looks at Ashlee, "I think it's just a little bit over dramatic to say that Ashlee."
    Ashlee sighs, "It's true Coop."
    He shakes his head, "Europe didn't ruin our relationship. It opened our eyes. We are going in different directions. We aren't the same to people we were two years ago when we first got together."
    She sighs, "Yep. We grew up."
    He nods, "And we're moving on."
    She sits on the bed, "I feel like I should be more sad about all of this. But I'm just not."
    Coop nods, "Well we didn't have a big blow out or fight. We just realized that it was time to end things."
    She sighs, "But they are going to understand that. They are going to think you cheated on me or that I'm still sick. Or that there is something that we aren't telling them."
    He looks at her, "We'll talk to them later. But right now let's just work on our seperate lives. Before we tell them that we are done."
    She stands up, "I'm so sorry that it didn't work out. I really thought you were the one."
    Coop has tears in his eyes, "I loved you Ashlee."
    She nods, "I loved you too Coop Cooper."
    The two kiss.
    Coop takes his jacket and walks out.

    Malah House:
    Mallet looks at Dinah, "I'm sorry that I upset you."
    She sighs, "It's fine. I know you mean well."
    He hands her the mail, "You should finish opening it. There's stuff from your doctors."
    She sighs, "Great. I'm not opening it."
    Mallet looks at her, "What are you talking about? You took your cognitive tests a few weeks ago. We need to see your results. What if they have improved?"
    She nods, "And what if they didn't. If Harley finds out she is going to use that to take me down. Say that I'm not smart enough to raise my own kid. I won't let her do that."
    Mallet hands her the file, "Open it. Dinah you know whatever happens. I will help you through it. I know at first this whole brain damage thing hurt us. But I think it's brought us closer together."
    Dinah slowly opens it.
    She pulls out her papers.
    Her mouth drops.
    Mallet looks at her, "Oh Babe. I'm sorry...."
    She shakes her head, "No. This says that I have improved... like a lot."
    He looks at her, "What do you mean?"
    She smiles, "My test scores are the highest they've ever been. I think I'm back where I was before... before that bullet went in my head."
    Mallet hugs her, "Oh my God! That's great! I can't believe it."
    She smiles, "I know! I'm back. The old Dinah is back!"
    The two kiss.

    Beacon:
    Rusty pulls away from the kiss, "No! No you can't do this to me again. You can't play with my feelings so you can get your anger out and then go running back to Rick."
    Mindy shakes her head, "That's not true! I'm not doing that."
    He nods, "Yes you are. You may not realize that but you are."
    She stares, "What is this Rusty? Why are you doing this? You say that you want me and you want to be with me but then you go and push me away like this when I am finally ready to be with you."
    He nods, "Exactly! You are finally ready to be with me. I was supposed to sit on the side and wait until you were done playing your games with me and with Rick. Now I get my prize."
    She shakes her head, "No that is not true!"
    Rusty nods, "Mindy! I can't do this. I can't do this again. Because I know that not matter what you and I are going to have some kind of problem. I'm not ready to get hurt."
    Mindy sighs, "Neither am I. But this is what I want. This is where I want to be. I am so sorry. It was selfish of me to do that to you. And now I here I am in your room, throwing myself at you and expecting you to still want me after all of that. I mean what guy could deal with that?"
    Rusty walks towards her, "A man in love."
    The two kiss again.
    Rusty takes Mindy into the bedroom.

    Motel:
    Harley backs up, "Cyrus what are you talking about?"
    Cyrus sighs, "Harley. The reason I left was because I got a phone call."
    She shakes her head, "From who?"
    He sighs, "My brother."
    She is in shock, "What? Guillespie called you? Why?"
    Cyrus takes her hand, "They were in some serious trouble."
    Harley gasps, "Oh God! No! Tell me Susan is okay! Where is she?"
    Cyrus looks at her, "Listen. They called and said they were in trouble. They went back to dealing again. They got into trouble in Austrailia and G brought her back to the states."
    Harley backs up, "Wait. So Susan is back in the country? Where is she? Where is my little girl?"
    Cyrus sighs, "The cops found them Harley. But I stopped calls from getting to Springfield."
    Harley shouts, "Why? Why would you do that? Why are you hiding them? Are they in jail?"
    Cyrus looks down, "This is way to complicated to explain."
    Harley cries, "Where is she? Where is my daughter?"
    The door opens up.
    She walks out, "Hi Harley."
    Harley stares at her daughter Susan.




    Mansion:
    Cassandra is driving away from the mansion.
    She thinks about what Reva said.
    It flashes back in her head
    "If you want to be in denial fine. But it's your death sentence."
    Cassandra shakes her head.
    She runs her hand along her forehead.
    Tammy's vision appears next to her, "Don't let them trick you Mom. Your fine. You don't need surgery. I'm with you."
    Cassandra drives down the road.
    A few yards down Reva's car is broken down.
    Reva is trying to see what's wrong with it.
    Cassandra sees her.
    Tammy looks at her, "Don't stop. We don't need to help her. Maybe it's time to once and for all take her down."
    Cassandra shakes her head, "You don't mean..."
    Tammy nods, "Speed up! I don't deserve to be dead while the slut of Springfield is walking around."
    Cassandra puts her foot on the gas.
    Reva turns.
    She can't recognize the car, "Annie! Annie! Is that you?"
    The car is right in front of her.
    Out of no where someone tackles Reva and they go rolling down the hill.
    Reva turns over and looks up.
    She is stunned by who she sees.
    "Hello Reva."
    Annie Dutton is standing over Reva Shayne.

    Reva walks towards her and Josh, "What the hell are you doing here? I told you to get the hell out of here!"
    Annie sighs, "Reva I'm not trying to cause trouble."
    Reva shakes her head, "That's all you know how to do."
    Josh helps Annie up, "Reva just give her a chance."
    Reva stares at him, "Are you serious? Are you really doing this? Do you remember who this is Joshua?"
    He nods, "Reva..."
    Reva walks away, "I have to go!"
    Annie walks into the middle of the room.

    Dinah approaches her, "Annie? Is that really you?"
    Annie hugs her, "Dinah! I haven't seen you in so long! How are you?"
    Dinah backs up, "When did you get back?"

    Annie turns and sees Harley and Blake.
    She walks over to them, "Hello Ladies."
    Harley scoffs, "What is this Annie?"
    Blake shakes her head, "What do you want?"
    Annie sighs, "I am trying to come back and make things right. You all have to understand. Phillip? Do you believe me?"

    Phillip sighs, "Annie...."
    Alan stares, "Annie?"
    Annie walks towards him, "Hello Alan."
    Natalia steps between them, "I'm Natalia. Natalia Rivera Spaulding."
    Alan nods, "This is my wife Natalia."
    Annie looks at them, "Congratulations. I didn't mean to disturb the wedding. I just..."
    Josh takes her, "We should go."
    Josh walks Annie away.
    The room is still in shock.



    Down in the basement Rocky and Kevin are together.
    They are half undressed.
    Rocky is kissing Kevin.
    Kevin smiles, "Rocky. I am falling for you. I really am."
    Rocky nods, "I know. So am I. Kevin, I didn't see this coming. But it's something that we can't control."
    Kevin grins, "I've always dreamed one day you would be here with me in my arms. But I was afraid that it would never happen."
    Rocky grins, "When I'm with you... it's magic."
    Kevin smiles, "I could spend the rest of my life with you Rocky."
    Rocky suddenly pauses and pulls away, "Oh God! Oh no Shayne!"
    Kevin stares, "Rocky..."
    Rocky starts to get dressed, "He's probably worried sick."
    Kevin shakes his head, "Stop putting Shayne's needs before your own! Stop trying to please everyone. You owe it to Shayne to be honest."
    Rocky sighs, "Shayne and I are already planning our future. It's not fair to him."
    Kevin shakes his head, "No! You don't love him anymore. You feel sorry. You feel like you owe him for being your first love."
    Rocky sighs, "Shayne loves me. He would never hurt me. How could I hurt him?"



    Outside Shayne is with Marina.
    The two are making out.
    Marina smiles, "I knew it! I knew you really wanted me. All along. I knew in my heart you would come back to me."
    Shayne doesn't look at her, "Yeah yeah."
    She kisses him, "Oh Shayne. I told myself if I stopped chasing you then you would come to me. I knew it."
    Shayne has her up against the window of the car.
    He steps back, "Let's get inside."
    Marina nods, "We can't wait?"
    He shakes his head, "No. We need to be together right now."
    Marina opens the door.
    The two get in the backseat.
    They start tearing off their clothes.
    Marina grins, "Oh Shayne just tell me you love me."
    Shayne sighs, "Just stop talking. Just enjoy the moment."
    The windows steam up.
    Shayne has sex with Marina.



    In the ballroom Blake walks over to Ed.
    Ed sighs, "I can't believe Annie Dutton is back."
    Blake shakes her head, "I didn't forget our conversation Ed. You knew Ross was a live all along."
    Ed turns to her, "When did you find out?"
    Blake backs up, "Oh Ed."
    He sighs, "I was trying to help him. He was in politics. He tried to be a honest man and they didn't like that. People would have killed him or you if he hadn't done this."
    Blake nods, "That's what he told me. I found out two years ago. When Dinah was shot. Ross came back to check."
    Ed sits next to her, "You know he visited you while you were in a coma."
    She nods, "I know. He told me that. But Ed... I really thought he was going to come back with me."
    Ed sighs, "What happened? Why did Ross want to see you?"
    Blake cries, "Ross called me. He said he needed me. I thought we were going to get back together and come home. But he wasn't doing that he... He was ready to tell me goodbye."
    Ed nods, "He's ready for you to move on?"
    Blake sighs, "He said I should have moved on a long time ago. But I just can't let go of him."
    Ed turns to her, "Blake. Did you tell Ross about your relationship with Remy Boudreau?"
    Blake stares at Ed.



    Down by the staircase Liz is with Remy.
    Liz stares at him, "I didn't think you were coming back to town."
    Remy nods, "I went on some police stuff. Nothing you'd understand."
    Liz nods, "Well did you have fun?"
    He sighs, "I learned a lot about myself. I guess you could say it's an experience I will never forget."
    She looks at him, "Well thank you for saving me."
    Remy shakes his head, "There just stairs Liz. The worst you would have done is twist your ankle."
    Liz scoffs, "I was just trying to thank you."
    He shakes his head, "Well don't okay. Because if I had known it was a Spaulding, I would have let you fall."
    She scoffs, "Oh great. Here goes another 'We hate the Spauldings' speech. It must be nice having a whole family you can blame things on."
    Remy nods, "You know everyone says your a changed woman. Liz the mother. But I still see Lizzie Spaulding. The spoiled Spaulding brat."
    Liz smiles, "You know considering what your sister is doing I'm surprised you have so much hate towards me."
    He is confused, "What are you talking about?"
    She smiles, "You didn't know? Alan Michael is going after CEO of Spaulding Enterprises. And Mel is helping him every step of the way. They may be moving into the Spaulding Mansion."
    This news angers Remy.


    Natalia is sitting with Alan.
    She smiles, "I know this is a lot. But it's still our wedding night. Let's celebrate with our friends and family."
    Alan turns to her, "I know. I'm sorry. It's just... Annie Dutton was a huge part of my past. I thought I was never going to see her again. Now she just jumps right back into Springfield. Back into my life."
    Natalia sighs, "From the looks of it she is back in Josh's life."
    Alan nods, "I can't believe he was defending her after everything she has done to him."
    Natalia sighs, "Alan, let's not do this. We are husband and wife. Our dream has come true."
    Alan smiles, "Your right. I finally married the love of my life. And no one can take that away from me. Not even Annie Dutton."
    Natalia takes his hand.
    The two get up and head over to the ballroom.



    Marah walks inside.
    She went with Jeffrey but then came back.
    She has missed everything that happened.
    Marah checks her coat.
    Josh approaches her, "Marah sweetheart. We need to talk Darlin."
    Marah stares, "Is everything okay Daddy?"
    Annie walks over, "Oh Marah Baby."
    Marah stares in shock.

    PART TWO:

    Down in the basement Rocky is walking up the steps.
    Kevin stops him, "Rocky! Listen to me. You wouldn't have been here with me unless that's what you truly wanted."
    Rocky sighs, "I know! Okay? Don't you think I know that I am crazy about you? That I can't stop thinking about you. Th the only time I feel complete is when I'm in your arms?"
    Kevin sighs, "Then why? Why do you deny us the happiness that we both want with each other?"
    Rocky looks at him, "Listen. I am trying to be a good person. Shayne was there for me when I needed him. I can't hurt him. I already made a plan with him. We are going to be joined in a few weeks. Then in a few months Marina will give birth and we will adopt her baby. I need to consider the feelings of Shayne and the baby."
    Kevin shakes his head, "What about you? What about us?"
    Rocky sighs, "No one would ever accept me being with you. Not after what you did."
    Kevin scoffs, "What the hell? If we don't care then why stop because of others."
    Rocky sighs, "It was a lot for people to accept me being with Shayne. This would be too much."
    Kevin grabs his arm, "Rocky please..."
    Rocky pulls away, "I have to find Shayne. I'm just glad we stopped before this went to far."
    Rocky leaves to find Shayne.

    Shayne and Marina get dressed in the car.
    Shayne is turned away from her.
    Marina sighs, "Shayne... Shayne why won't you look at me?"
    Shayne doesn't say anything.
    Marina scoots closer, "Shayne. You are scaring me. The whole time you wouldn't even look at me and now you aren't even talking to me."
    Shayne sighs, "Marina I'm sorry I..."
    She realizes where this is going, "No. No you didn't. No, no, no."
    He sighs, "This was a mistake."
    She cries, "No! No shut up! You wouldn't do that to me!"
    He looks down, "I just got mad and..."
    She starts hitting him, "Oh my God! You sick son of a bitch! You used me to get back at Rocky!!!"
    He tries to console her, "Marina please. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you."
    She shoves him, "Don't you touch me! You stay away from me!"
    Marina goes running out of the car.

    Remy and Liz are by the stair.
    Remy sighs, "Of course the Spauldings are trying to corrupt my sister."
    Liz laughs, "Wow I guess we Spauldings can do anything right? No one is holding a gun to her head Remy."
    Remy turns to her, "I will not let you people hurt her. I knew if she got with Alan Michael that she was in danger."
    She sighs, "Don't worry. Mel is a tough woman."
    He shakes his head, "I'm not going to let her end up like Tammy. I remember what you people are capable of. Even if other people deny it. Including Jonathan."
    Liz sighs, "Well you really have been gone haven't you? Jonathan and I aren't together. No you see we want to be but his wife Aubrey is pregnant and using it to keep him with her and away from me."
    Remy laughs, "Are you serious?"
    Liz nods, "Yep. I guess Tammy is getting her revenge."
    He shakes his head, "Tammy wasn't about revenge. This is karma. Karma's a bitch."
    She smirks, "Well so am I."
    He looks at her, "Don't I know it."
    Liz looks at her watch, "I should go congratulate my Granddad and Natalia. They are married now."
    Remy sighs, "Natalia's a good person. Alan is going to hurt her. I warned her about him."
    Liz sighs, "Well not matter how much people start out disliking each other they later find out that all along that person was the one true love of their life."
    Remy scoffs, "Not for everyone."
    He walks away.
    Liz sighs, "Tell me about it."

    Blake is sitting with Ed.
    She looks at him, "Of course I didn't tell Ross about Remy. How do you tell that to the love of your life?"
    Ed sighs, "Ross would want to know."
    Blake nods, "Of course he'd want to know. But no one in Springfield understood me and Remy. How can I expect him who hasn't seen Remy in years, that I was in a relationship with him. Remy who is barely older than my kids."
    Ed sighs, "Blake, you and Remy were very close for a long time. He made you very happy."
    Blake sighs, "It doesn't matter. Remy and I are over now."
    Ross looks at her, "Are you so sure about that?"
    Blake nods, "I would love to have Remy back in my life but after all the waiting I made him do.... it's to late. He would never take me back now. Besides I need to focus on Jason, Kevin, and Clarissa. Especially Kevin. There is something going on with him I can't figure out."
    Ed hugs her, "Blake I'm going to be here for you."
    Blake smiles, "I know Ed. Thank you."

    By the doorway Marah is staring at Josh and Annie.
    Annie smiles, "Oh Marah I missed you."
    Marah is in shock, "Why are you here?"
    Annie sighs, "I'm here to try and make things right."
    Marah backs up, "Go. Get away from me."
    Josh sighs, "Marah I know this is difficult."
    Marah turns to him, "Wait. How long did you know she was in town?"
    Josh looks at her, "Darlin' I'm just trying to help us all heal. Annie was a huge part of our lives at one point."
    Marah nods, "Until she hurt everyone."
    Josh nods, "And we need closure."
    Marah looks at Annie, "You tried to kill my mother. You ruined our lives. Everyone in Springfield hates you. Your not welcome here."
    Annie sighs, "I love you Marah. I know that's hard for you to understand. But in my heart, you and Shayne are still my children."
    Marah shakes her head, "I loved you. But that was when I was a kid. We can't go back."
    Annie sighs, "It took me years. Years to finally get to a point where I could come back. I know this is a lot to ask of you. But I want to atleast have a chance to talk."
    Marah walks away without saying a word.

    In the middle of the room.
    Natalia is standing with Alan.
    Alan smiles, "I just want to say thank you to all of you for being here today. I know most of you are here for the ball and don't even care. But still I want to thank you. This was an amazing day. The happiest day. You were all witness to the romantic wedding to a true love story."
    Natalia laughs, "Okay. Well thank you all. This was just everything I hoped it would be and more. I am glad that I got to share this day with you. I finally married the man of my dreams."
    Alan jokes, "Now we have to go home and celebrate our honeymoon."
    The party laughs and cheers.
    Natalia nods, "Oh I have to throw the bouquet. Ladies get ready."
    All of the single women are below.
    Natalia swings back and throws it.
    The bouquet goes falling into the middle.
    It's not clear who has it.
    Suddenly the women depart.
    The bouquet is in the hands of two women.

    Beth and Mel.
    There is a small struggle until it rips in half.
    Beth walks over to Phillip.
    Alan Michael walks over to Mel.
    The two couples stare each other down.

    A huge day in Springfield.....



    Spaulding Mansion:


    Mel is with her bridesmaids.
    Mel is wearing her dress, "I can't believe today is the day."
    Felicia helps her daughter, "You look like a princess baby. Oh Melissande, you deserve this."
    Olivia walks over, "You look great Mel. Today is your day and it is going to be great."
    Dinah nods, "I don't think I've ever seen you this happy."
    The women all chat.

    Liz walks in, "Oh... hey."
    Mel smiles, "Liz. It's good to see you. Your dress is over there."
    Dinah walks over, "Hey cousin. How are you feeling?"
    Liz nods, "I'm good. It's nice to be back out in the real world for a change."
    Mel grins, "I'm glad you're here Liz. Your uncle loves you very very much, we both wanted you in the wedding party."
    Liz nods, "Thanks."
    Dinah walks Liz to the other room to help her get ready.
    Mel sighs, "I don't know if she likes me all to much."
    Olivia shakes her head, "It's probably me. Lizzie and I have never exactly gotten along. But don't worry. Today is your day Mel. Everything is going to be just perfect."
    Leah walks in, "Mom!"
    Mel runs over and hugs her little girl.



    Beacon:


    Beth knocks on Edmund's door.
    Edmund opens, "Hey Beth."
    Beth sighs, "I need to talk with you."
    Edmund lets her in, "Isn't there a Spaulding wedding today?"
    Beth nods, "Yes. Mel and Alan Michael. But we weren't exactly welcome at their wedding. Which they purposely scheduled right before mine and Phillip's wedding."
    Edmund nods, "Yeah I didn't get an invitation to that did I?"
    Beth sighs, "Did you really expect one Edmund?"
    He nods, "Well I've been keeping your secret. I know that you've been struggling to keep Lorelei in control."
    Beth sighs, "That's why I'm here. I have been doing much better. It was a waste for me to try and come to you for help. So I'm sorry. But I need you to promise you'll never mention this to anyone. I would like to forget about it and move on."
    He sighs, "Can you do that Beth? Can you really just forget about it all together?"
    She nods, "Yes. Lorelei is gone. If she were coming back she would have come back when Liz was shot. But no, I dealt with the pain and stress all on my own."
    He nods, "I'm proud of you."
    She nods, "Thank you. So I trust you will keep this to yourself?"
    Edmund laughs, "Oh Beth, you know me better than that."
    She turns to him.

    Spaulding Mansion:


    Alan Michael is fixing his tux.
    Gus smiles, "You look good brother."
    Alan Michael nods, "I know we still haven't got to know each other very well but I'm glad you are in my wedding party."
    Gus nods, "Of course I am. You are my brother still. And Mel is my friend, you make her very happy."
    Alan Michael nods, "I love her so much. And Leah. I just want to give Mel and Leah everything that they deserve."

    Alan walks in, "Well look at two of my sons. You look like real Spauldings. Alan Jr. is out of town but Phillip should be here."
    Alan Michael laughs, "He got an invitation and he is lucky to get that so don't even start."
    Alan shakes his head, "Spauldings have to stick together. Phillip is still you brother. Do you know how it is going to look to people when they see him missing?"

    Remy walks in, "It'll look like one less Spaulding to worry about."
    Alan scoffs, "I forgot he was in your wedding party."
    Alan Michael walks over, "Yes. Remy is Mel's brother. And I'm very happy to have you here."
    Remy nods, "Just be good to my sister and we won't have any problems."
    The men all get ready.

    Reva Bend:


    Reva is having a welcome home party from the hospital.
    Her kids threw it for her.
    Reva hugs Shayne and Marah, "You guys are just the best. I mean it thank you so much. You didn't have to do all of this."
    Marah shakes her head, "Don't say that. We did. We are so glad that you are okay."
    Shayne nods, "We wouldn't be able to make it without you."
    Reva clears her throat, "Well um... you could. I mean one day you are gonna have to. And you'll be fine."
    Shayne shakes his head, "But your not going anytime soon. Why do we have to talk about that now?"
    Reva shakes her head, "I..."
    Hawk runs over, "Hey! How are you sister?"
    She hugs him, "Pop! I'm so glad to see you."
    Roxie hugs her, "Hey sis. I'm so glad to see you up and about. I'm glad you are out of the hospital. Promise me you will stay out of hospital beds from now on."
    Reva doesn't know what to say.
    She changes the subject, "Where's Rick?"
    Roxie sighs, "He's still debating on whether to come here or to Mel's wedding. When I left he was still pacing."
    Reva turns to Marah, "What about Jeffrey?"
    Marah sighs, "I wasn't sure if you'd be comfortable with that. Besides he has work he said. I'm not sure what."



    Cedars:


    Jeffrey walks into the doors of the hospital.
    He walks over to Lillian.
    Lillian nods, "Well your here."
    He sighs, "I'm ready to see her now."
    Lillian sighs, "Jeffrey there are strict rules. I don't know how you got around them but you went above me and got your name on the list."
    Jeffrey nods, "Just don't worry Lillian."
    Lillian shakes her head, "I told you. Only immediate family can see her when she's in this condition."
    Jeffrey nods, "Well I was her family at one point. Now I need to talk to her about a few things. There is a lot going on right now in my life that concerns her."
    Lillian looks at him, "This isn't about you and... it's not about your feelings for Marah is it?"
    Jeffrey looks down, "Just take me to her room Lillian."
    Lillian walks him to a room.
    She unlocks the door.
    Jeffrey looks at the name on the door.
    Cassandra Winslow

    PART TWO:

    Spaulding Mansion:
    Liz is getting uncomfortable around Mel and her friends.
    She walks out down the hall.
    Remy is sitting in a chair.
    He looks at her, "Why aren't you in the room helping Mel get her something borrowed or whatever?"
    Liz sighs, "It's kinda awkward. I don't know Mel a whole lot anymore. She's nice. Why aren't you in the guys room talking about how he is throwing his sex life away?"
    Remy sighs, "Because the bride is my sister. And that over there is a room full of Spauldings who are going to hurt her."
    She sits next to him, "Okay, so here we go. This is the part where you list every bad thing the Spauldings have done."
    Remy sighs, "Are you saying I have nothing to worry about?"
    Liz shakes her head, "No. You should worry. But Mel loves my uncle."
    He nods, "Yep."
    She clears her throat, "I never got to thank you officially. You saved my life after my shooting."
    He nods, "No problem. I was just doing my job."
    Liz puts her hand on his, "Thank you Remy."
    He nods, "Your welcome Liz."
    The two look into each other's eyes.

    Beacon:
    Beth is worried.
    She looks at Edmund, "What the hell are you getting at? I confided in you and now you want to hurt me with it?"
    Edmund sighs, "You are such a drama queen. All I'm saying is that I should get something out of the deal."
    She shakes her head, "I never should have trusted in you."
    He nods, "I know! What were you thinking?"
    She looks at him, "You stupid, sick piece of crap! You have no idea what you are doing."
    He stands up, "Oh yes I do. Beth, what do you think Phillip would do if he heard that Lorelei could come back? Just the sound of her name would shake him Probably ruin the wedding if not cancel it."
    She shoves him, "What do you want from me?"
    He grins, "I want Ava out of Ravenwood."
    Beth scoffs, "How the hell am I supposed to do that?"
    He sighs, "You have Spaulding connections. Do it!"
    She shakes her head, "I can't!"
    He nods, "You can and you will. You have until your wedding day. Or else I will make sure that someone is there to object."
    Edmund walks Beth out of his room and shuts the door.
    Beth starts to cry in the hallway.

    Spaulding Mansion:
    Mel and Leah are sitting in a bedroom.
    Leah smiles, "You look like a princess."
    Mel grins, "Thank you. So do you."
    Leah nods, "I feel like one. I'm so happy for you."
    Mel sighs, "You mean that baby? I mean you know I'm not trying to hurt your Dad?"
    Leah nods, "Dad has his chance with you. Now Uncle Alan Michael is going to be your true love. He's gonna make your dreams come true."
    The two hug.
    Alan Michael walks in.
    Leah freaks, "No! You can't see her yet!"
    Alan Michael laughs, "Hey don't worry. I don't think anything will ruin our wedding."
    Mel stands, "Well I don't have my dress completely ready."
    He grins, "You look beautiful."
    She smiles, "What do you want?"
    He sighs, "I missed you. And I wanted to see you one last time before we became husband and wife."
    Mel smiles, "I love you Alan Michael."
    He looks at her and Leah, "And I love my two princesses."
    The three hug.

    Reva Bend:


    Reva tries to sneak into the kitchen to get some alone time.
    Josh follows her in there.
    He smiles, "Reva Shayne. Look at you."
    She smiles, "Joshua. Did you just get here?"
    He nods, "Yes I did. We were working a little to much and got here late. I'm glad your home."
    The two hug.

    Vanessa and Billy walk in.
    Vanessa hugs her, "Oh sweetie. I'm so glad your okay. We need to have dinner sometime. We can chat."
    Reva nods, "That's great. We need to set that up."
    Billy hugs her, "Hey Darlin'. Oh you look great. Reva Shayne has more lives than a cat."
    Reva smiles, "Don't you forget it."
    She excuses herself into the restroom.
    Reva is washing her face.
    She looks into the mirror, "You think you can take on the world. Survive drowning, being hit by a car, plane crashes. But a little cancer is all it could take to end the life of Reva Shayne."
    Reva starts to cry.

    Cedars:
    Jeffrey walks into her room.
    He sits down, "Hey. It's me Jeffrey."
    He doesn't know what to say.
    What do you say to someone in a coma?
    He sighs, "RJ comes home soon. He is gonna be staying with me. That's what you wanted. I'm not sure why. I mean don't get me wrong I adore RJ, I've known him for so long. But I thought Josh, or Reva. But me? Why me? Well I have to admit we were close once. For the longest time I thought we were gonna spend the rest of our lives together."
    Jeffrey starts to think about his time with her.
    Then his mind goes to Marah.
    He sighs, "But I'm with Marah. We're together. But I feel like thing between you and I... I just feel like maybe we have some unfinished business. But maybe I'm just confused... What am I doing? You changed. You weren't the Cassie that I fell in love with. The Cassie I fell in love with is probably gone."
    His hand is resting on the bed.
    Suddenly he feels fingers tapping on him.
    He looks and her fingers are moving.
    Her eyes are blinking a little.
    He jumps up, "Help! I need a doctor!"
    She opens her eyes for the first time in 3 months.
    And for the first time in years.... Cassie Winslow is back!

    Towers:

    A huge event is being hosted by Spaulding Enterprises.

    Liz enters with her cousin Rafe.
    Liz scoffs, "Look, look at all of them. They all think they're better than us because we're so young."
    Rafe nods, "They'll all see. We'll have the last laugh."

    Harley walks in.
    Gus walks over to her, "I didn't expect to see you here."
    She sighs, "I guess I was kinda hoping I'd run into you."
    Gus smiles, "You can call me. You don't have to look for me Babe."
    She laughs, "I just thought we could catch up on things."
    He grins, "I would absolutely love that."

    Cyrus walks over, "Harley! Could I talk with you for a moment?"
    Harley is uncomfortable.

    Across the room Dinah is with Olivia, "We have to make good connections for Annie."
    Olivia sighs, "I can't believe what we did to Mel."
    Dinah sighs, "Olivia, we did what was best for her. It's best she found out who Alan Michael was now."
    Olivia shakes her head, "I'm sorry but I have a feeling Annie is leaving us out of the loop."
    Dinah looks at her, "Olivia, don't feel bad. Alan Michael and Mel will be fine."



    Cedars:


    Mel is sitting out in the waiting room.
    Felicia walks out of her office.
    Mel stands up, "Mom..."
    Felicia looks at her, "I shouldn't be the one talking to him. He's my son in law now."
    Mel sighs, "But Mom I just need you to tell me what you think. I had to drag him down here. Is there something wrong with him?"
    Felicia sighs, "Okay off the record, I think he may be suffering from a nervous breakdown."
    Mel cries, "Oh God! I knew this would happen. I never should have let it go this far. That board meeting was horrible. When we got home he kept screaming and throwing things. Now he's either a zombie or a mad man. I don't know what to do."
    Felicia hugs her, "Honey, you need to get him help. I have another doctor coming to talk to him. He agreed to see someone else."
    Mel nods, "They told him he can't go back to work until he sees someone. That's the only reason he agrees. There's no way he's going to seriously get help."
    Felicia sighs, "Well that's something that you need to think about honey. Because it might be the decision you have to make."
    Mel stares at her mother.



    Mall:


    Roxie took her "new friend" Ashlee out shopping.
    Ashlee looks at dresses, "Wow I have still not gotten used to being able to just go out and pick out whatever clothes I want."
    Roxie grins, "Oh well you deserve it. You are such a sweet girl."
    Ashlee turns to her, "I'm so grateful to you. I mean you have become such a good friend to me. But I guess I just don't get why. You used to totally hate my guts."
    Roxie sighs, "Well I was unfair to you Ashlee. I just saw this annoying woman who was aspiring to be a doctor and hanging around my boyfriend all the time asking him questions. But now I see that you are a fun, interesting young woman that needs to be appreciated."
    Ashlee sighs, "I never used to believe that about myself."
    Roxie shakes her head, "Didn't your mother ever tell you how about special you were?"
    Ashlee sighs, "No. I never felt good enough. I felt like I was the part of her life she was embarrassed about. Always making excuses. Going out to parties and telling people I was home sick. Then when they'd meet me, she always apologized for my appearance. My hair was never right and my makeup never looked good."
    Roxie sighs, "I'm sorry honey."
    Ashlee wipes a tear then turns to hug Roxie.
    Roxie rolls her eyes in her frustration of Ashlee's strong hug.



    Lewis Enterprises:


    All of the Lewis Men are working late.
    Shayne walks in with some files, "Hey how about after this we stop by Towers and get a quick meal?"
    Bill shakes his head, "No my forgetful cousin. That place is filled with people from Spaulding Enterprises."
    Josh sighs, "Oh that is tonight isn't it?"
    Billy laughs, "Well those Spauldings have no idea what's coming to them. Our company is already skyrocketing."
    Bill smiles, "Well Dad you know it's never been a secret that Lewis hard work will always trump the Spaulding's money."
    Josh nods, "That's what makes this business worth it. Knowing that we built it and we earned everything. And we did it as a family."
    Billy smiles, "And one day it's gonna be you two."
    Shayne laughs, "Well that's a while away. Because you and my Dad still have a lot to do to get us ready. Especially since Bill has been to busy for the office lately."
    The men laugh.
    Bill nods, "Well I have a wedding to plan. I'm not used to this. I married Olivia in a jail cell. And I married Ava in Vegas."
    Billy laughs, "Well this time we'll have time to plan your bachelor party!"
    The guys all share a laugh.



    Farmhouse:


    Michelle is over at Marah's.
    Marah is designing her wedding dress.
    Marah smiles, "I'm so excited! I mean not only is my best friend getting married. But you're getting married to my cousin! This is going to be beautiful!"
    Michelle grins, "Well with you designing my dress I know I'm gonna look beautiful."
    Marah smiles, "Are you nervous?"
    Michelle shakes her head, "No. No way. It's Bill. I've known him my whole life. He's been my best friend since I was a kid. I don't get nervous over Bill."
    Marah laughs, "Geez Michelle, you act like you guys are just friends."
    Michelle quickly shakes her head, "No, no, no. I just mean that I'm comfortable with him, my family loves him, my kids adore him, it all just makes sense."
    Marah smiles, "That's good. Love has never made sense for me."
    Michelle sighs, "It didn't used to for me. Danny and I seemed like total opposites. And there were a million reasons for us not to be together. But there was one reason to be together. Love."
    Marah grins, "That's like me and Jeffrey. Also how I felt about Tony. Tony was my first love. You never forget your first love."
    Michelle shakes her head, "Nope."
    Marah turns to Michelle, "So who was your first love?"
    Michelle's mind immediately goes to Jesse.

    Towers:
    Harley walks over with Cyrus.
    Harley looks at him, "That was rude."
    He is confused, "What?"
    She scoffs, "Don't say 'what'. You saw that I was about to talk with Gus and you got between us."
    Cyrus shakes his head, "Why should I worry about Gus you two aren't together."
    Harley looks at him, "And neither are we."
    Cyrus hates hearing her say that.
    Across the room Olivia approaches Gus, "Hey."
    He turns to her, "Hi."
    She sighs, "I see you were talking with Harley."
    Gus nods, "Yeah I was just catching up or about too."
    Olivia looks at him, "Will I ever get an answer from you?"
    Gus sighs, "I just need more time. I need to think about things."
    She shakes her head, "You need to think about Harley. I can't be your rebound."
    Gus shakes his head, "It's not that. I have other things."
    Olivia looks at him, "Is there someone else? Besides me and Harley?"
    Just then the elevator doors open and Susan walks in.
    She's dressed down and obviously not aware that there was an event going on.
    Gus gets nervous seeing Harley, Olivia and Susan all in the same room.

    Across the room Alan is talking with some people.
    Rafe walks over, "Hey Granddad."
    Alan turns, "Raphael. How are you? I hope I can count on your vote."
    Rafe scoffs, "I couldn't count on yours for Liz. You clearly doubted me."
    Alan nods, "Of course you two are just kids. You'll understand when your older."
    Rafe scoffs, "Oh I'll get it when I'm older? You hear that everyone?"
    Rafe gets up on the bar.
    All eyes are now on Rafe.

    PART TWO:

    Mall:
    Roxie sits waiting for Ashlee.
    She's clearly impatient.
    Ashlee walks out, "What do you think?"
    Roxie throws on a fake smile, "Oh my God! Honey you look just beautiful. Stunning."
    Ashlee grins, "Really?"
    Roxie nods, "Oh yeah. I love the dress you picked out. I think I have one like this."
    She nods, "Yeah I love that dress on you. So I wanted to see how this looked on me."
    Roxie grins, "Well I am flattered. It looks better on you."
    Ashlee shakes her head, "I wouldn't say better. But I think I look like you a little."
    Roxie nods, "Oh yeah I see it."
    Ashlee turns to her, "You are just so great Roxie. I think I'm gonna ask them to hold this dress for me."
    Roxie shakes her head, "Why not buy it?"
    Ashlee sighs, "I can't afford it right now."
    Roxie shakes her head, "Nonsense. It's my gift to you."
    Ashlee sighs, "I couldn't-"
    Roxie stops her, "I won't take no for an answer."
    An excited Ashlee goes to change.
    Roxie scoffs, "What a disgusting basket case. She wishes she looked like me. Oh Doris. You were a horrible parent. It's sad people like you get children. Ashlee always suffered because of you. So I guess she should be used to what's about to come to her."
    Roxie has an evil grin on her face.

    Farmhouse:
    Michelle is sitting with Marah.
    Michelle gets up, "My first love? I can't remember I guess."
    Marah looks at her, "We just said you never forget your first love."
    Michelle sighs, "Well I didn't really know what true love was before I met Danny."
    Marah sighs, "I know who it was. I shouldn't have even asked."
    Michelle looks at her, "You do?"
    Marah nods, "Bill. You just told me that you've known him since you were kids. It makes sense."
    Michelle nods, "Oh... yep."
    Marah smiles, "I think it's perfect. I mean your first love is the man that you are gonna spend the rest of your life with."
    Michelle nods, "Yeah..."
    Marah gets up, "I mean think about it. This guy who you first fell in love with is gonna be the last guy you fall in love with. How beautiful is that? It's amazing. Your first love."
    Michelle shakes her head, "Hey, let's not forget about the dress. Let's see what you got so far."
    Marah hands Michelle some of her sketches.
    Michelle tries to focus but her stomach is in knots.

    Towers:
    Rafe looks at the party, "Everyone I need to say something. I think everyone here needs to listen-"
    Gus walks over, "That's enough."
    Rafe shakes his head, "Dad I got something important to say."
    Gus drags him down, "Knock it off Rafe. If this is how you're gonna act, all immature, then leave."
    Rafe scoffs, "I'm immature? How can you of all people say that?"
    Gus is confused, "What?"
    Rafe smiles, "I see how it is."
    Rafe heads for the elevator.
    Gus doesn't stop him.
    Cyrus sits at the bar alone now.
    Susan walks over, "You okay?"
    Cyrus shakes his head, "Your Mom won't even talk to me."
    Susan rubs his back, "I'm sorry. I hope she comes around."
    Cyrus nods, "You seem to be doing well. You look clean."
    She nods, "I am. Thanks to you."
    Cyrus grins, "I'm happy. And I think when my brother is released, maybe you would be good for him. You've sure been loyal. You haven't even been with a guy since he went away."
    Susan feels some guilt now.
    Across the room Alan sits at a table.

    Blake sits next to him, "Hello Alan."
    He grins, "Blake I was hoping you'd show up."
    She sighs, "Well I think we need to talk. I've been doing my part, voting your way. When am I gonna see some payback. When are you going to help me keep Liz away from Remy?"
    Alan smiles at Blake.

    Lewis Enterprises:
    All the guys are still giving Bill a hard time.
    Bill looks at them, "Hey lets not focus on me. What about your love lives? Huh? What about that?"
    Billy laughs, "Well things are going just fine with me and your mother thank you. I've never been happier."
    Bill looks at Josh, "How about you Uncle Josh? You and Reva back together yet?"
    Josh laughs, "No. That's not happening."
    Shayne sighs, "You're not still hanging out with Annie are you?"
    Josh sighs, "Annie and I are just friends now. Which is very nice. I'm glad to see she's come a long way."
    Bill then turns to Shayne but pauses.
    Shayne sighs, "You can ask me."
    Bill smiles, "So Shayne... any person in your life?"
    Shayne laughs, "No person. I haven't been with someone since I broke up with Rocky. I'm just taking some time to pull myself together. I still have some mixed feelings on how it all ended."
    Bill nods, "I know what you mean. Ava's locked up in Ravenwood. To think a year ago she was my wife and we were planning our son's future together. It's hard to believe."
    Josh looks at them, "Well maybe if you guys would come to church with me more often then you would be able to find other ways to channel your guilt. Plenty of charity work you can do."
    Bill laughs, "Well once we get this work done then I'll get to that."
    Shayne really is feeling like he needs to find a way to give back.

    Cedars:
    Mel sits down.
    Felicia sits with her.
    Mel turns to her mother, "So what your saying is that I might have to force my husband into getting psychological help? I don't know if I'm gonna be able to do that."
    Felicia sighs, "Don't doubt yourself Melissande. You were able to get your husband down here."
    Mel nods, "And that was exhausting. How am I supposed to make him do this stuff?"
    Felicia sighs, "If this doctor can confirm a few things then you will be able to help get Alan Michael help whether he agrees to it or not."
    Mel shakes her head, "Like he's a crazy person?"
    Felicia scoffs, "Melissande you know better than to use terms like that. This is serious."
    She cries, "You don't think I know this is serious? My husband is losing his mind! He's falling a part and there is not a damn thing I can do to stop it! I know this is serious."
    Felicia hugs her, "I'm sorry Baby. You don't deserve this."
    Mel shakes her head, "When I left Rick I felt so much stronger. I felt like I could take on the world. Now I feel like my whole world is crashing down on me."
    Mel cries in her mother's arms.

    Towers:
    Alan looks at Blake, "Right now you have nothing to worry about Liz is caught up in the business."
    Blake nods, "But now that's she's lost she will have more time to get closer to Remy."
    Alan smiles, "Don't you worry Blake. I have a good plan. Just stick with me and you'll have Remy Boudreau all to yourself."
    Blake smiles at Alan.
    Across the room Gus pulls Susan aside, "Why are you hear?"
    She sighs, "I didn't know this was going on."
    Gus looks at her, "It's just awkward."
    Susan sighs, "Gus we ended our thing. What are we supposed to do never see each other again?"
    Gus shushes her, "Let's go out to the balcony and talk."
    The two step outside.
    Rafe walks back into the building just and sees them leave.
    He smiles, "Perfect."
    Liz walks over, "I got your text. They set the projector up. But I don't get why? It's to late for presentations."
    Rafe shakes his head, "Not this one. I call it hypocrisy."
    He hands her a DVD and she goes to put it in.
    Rafe stands on the bar, "Everyone! May I have your attention please? I have something you need to hear."
    Harley walks over, "Rafe you need to get down."
    Rafe grins, "No. Everyone needs to understand. You see Liz and I have been treated like a joke. Because we're so young and don't get what it is to run a company. Bull! We were honest. We confessed our past. Liz confessed her past with her ex husband. I brought up my time in juvie. But how many of you still have secrets. I got one for you. A video I found at the Bauer Cabin."
    The projector starts.
    It shows Gus and Susan during their withdrawal when they were locked in the cabin.
    They are making out.
    Rafe grins, "Look at them! Did they share this with you all? Olivia did you know?"
    Olivia can't believe her eyes.
    Cyrus turns to Olivia, they didn't have any idea that happened that night.
    Harley's stares in complete shock and disbelief.
    The love of her life and her daughter.
    Just then Susan and Gus walk in unaware of why all eyes are on them.

  12. JAYJAY
    There are many regrets in Springfield...



    Spaulding Enterprises:

    Mr. Wallace announced, "Ladies and gentleman, your official CEO, Ms. Annie Dutton."

    Annie stands, "Thank you all for your support. And those of you who didn't support me.... well I'm sorry."
    Dinah and Olivia stand at her sides.

    Alex turns to Alan, "I hope your happy, you know if you had put your pride aside and voted for your son he would be the CEO right and not her. Not Annie Dutton."
    Alan is angry, "That is enough Alexandra."

    Harley gets up, "I don't feel well."
    Cyrus stands, "You want me to take you home?"
    She nods, "Yeah I think I should be going."
    Gus looks at her, "Babe you okay?"
    Harley just walks away with Cyrus.

    Rafe and Liz walk over to Annie.
    Liz shakes her hand, "Congratulations."
    Rafe smiles, "You're going to do a fine job I'm sure."
    Annie grins, "I knew I could count on you two to finally see the light. I will remember this."
    Alan walks over to his Grandchildren, "I hope you two are satisfied."
    Liz turns to him, "If I ever want my daughter to come home, then you need to stay out of power."
    Annie smiles at Alan.



    Ravenwood:


    Ava is lashing out.
    She screams, "Get out!!! Go away!"
    Shayne stops her, "You need to stop. Because I'm not going anywhere."
    The nurse walks in, "What is going on? Is the patient behaving dangerously Ms. Lewis?"
    Shayne looks at her, "No. There is no problem here."
    The nurse stares at them.
    Ava looks at her, "You heard him. No problem. Now waddle your fat ass out of my room."
    The nurse shakes her head and leaves.
    Shayne turns to her, "That was nice."
    She walks away, "Why did you do that? You could have safely escorted out while they strapped me down in here."
    Shayne looks at her, "I told you that you weren't hopeless Ava. I know there must be some good in you."
    Ava shakes her head, "Not really."
    He sighs, "You keep putting up a tough front. Why can't you let yourself be vulnerable and real."
    She looks at him, "I don't need pity. I want people to be intimidated by me. That's what I want."
    He laughs, "You are the daughter of Edmund Winslow and Olivia Spencer. That right there would scare the hell out of anyone in Springfield."
    Ava tries not to laugh when he says things.



    Beacon:


    Edmund is in his room.
    There is a knock on the door.
    He walks to the door, "This better be important."

    He opens to door to see Cassie.
    He is shocked, "Cassie?"
    She sighs, "Hello Edmund. We need to talk."
    He stares, "What is going on?"
    She sighs, "I've been thinking about you."
    Edmund smiles, "Really?"
    She nods, "A friend told me today that in order to receive forgiveness we have to forgive."
    He is confused, "Who is this friend?"
    She answers reluctantly, "Jeffrey-"
    He goes to shut the door.
    She stops him, "Can I please come in? I just, I think there are things we need to talk about."
    Edmund looks her in the eyes, "So you are here to forgive me?"
    She nods, "That's the plan."
    He sighs, "You really think you can do that?"
    She shakes her head, "I don't know. But I am sure going to try. If you can let me."
    Edmund steps aside.
    Cassie walks in.

    Spaulding Enterprises:
    Olivia looks at Annie and Dinah, "I'm going to schedule a celebratory party at Towers."
    Annie hugs her, "Oh thank you Olivia. You two have been great partners and now we finally won."
    Olivia leaves.
    Dinah hugs Annie, "Can you believe it! We got you named the official CEO! Everything is working out."
    Annie smiles, "We make a great team."
    Dinah looks at her, "So you want me to get the press together?"
    Annie shakes her head, "It's taken care of. Go home and see your family. Surprise them with something."
    Dinah grins, "That's a good idea."
    Dinah hugs Annie and then heads home.
    Alan sits by himself.
    Annie walks over to him, "You okay big guy?"
    He scoffs, "As if you care."
    She looks at him, "I still have a small place in my heart for you."
    He looks at her, "Somehow I think even if I won I still wouldn't be happy. The love of my life is not here."
    Annie sighs, "Well I am sorry but maybe it just wasn't meant to be with you and her."
    Alan shakes his head, "You don't know what you're talking about."
    Annie sighs, "Come on. I hear she was the hotel maid. The sweet little catholic. Not your type."
    Alan sighs, "Natalia changed me."
    Annie stands up, "Alan, maybe you were never meant to be changed."
    Annie walks away.
    Alan sits and ponders.



    Side of the Road:


    Michelle is driving home.
    Her car starts to break down.
    She pulls over, "No, no, no."
    Michelle tries to call Bill.
    Her phone died.
    Michelle finally gets out and goes to check out the car.
    The second she gets under the hood she hears it.
    The motorcycle is pulling up.

    Jesse gets off, "Having car trouble?"
    She turns to him, "Did you follow me?"
    He laughs, "No, I was on my bike and I saw you. Luck you huh?"
    She shakes her head, "I can take care of this. But thank you very much I appreciate it. See ya."
    Jesse walks over, "And what are you going to do."
    She looks inside, "I'm going to take this out."
    He laughs, "You take that out and you'll never get it going."
    She turns to him, "Just let me borrow your phone please and I will call Bill and you will be on your way."
    Jesse shakes his head, "Nonsense. Bill would never forgive me for letting his fiance out her by herself."
    Michelle is uncomfortable.



    Towers:


    Bill is leaving a meeting.
    He sees Olivia drinking at the bar.
    He rushes over, "What the hell are you doing?"
    She turns to him, "What? Oh this is water Bill."
    He sighs, "Oh I'm sorry. I just saw you here and I.... I'm sorry."
    She shakes her head, "No. Don't be. I'm actually quite flattered that you would be concerned."
    Bill nods, "Of course."
    She sighs, "Yeah I'm Emma's Mom."
    Bill laughs, "Believe it or not I would care even if you weren't. I care about you Olivia. I always will."
    She sighs, "Well thanks I needed to hear that. I've been craving a drink lately with everything going on."
    Bill looks at her, "What's going on?"
    Olivia sighs, "Well Gus has been sleeping with Susan. Your niece Susan. And Ava is only getting worse in Ravenwood. And to top it all off, Phillip is going to try and be in Emma's life again."
    Bill looks at her, "Well, I'm sorry about Gus and Susan. I had no idea. I really hope Ava gets better. I feel horrible for what happened to her. And there is no way in hell that you and I are going to let the Spauldings in Emma's life."
    Olivia smiles at Bill.
    He makes her feel safe.

    PART TWO:



    Harley's House:

    Cyrus walks Harley inside.
    Harley sighs, "I'm sorry if I've been leaning on you too much lately Cyrus. I just needed a friend."
    Cyrus looks at her, "No problem. I'm always going to be here for you."
    She smiles, "You're a great guy."
    He looks at her, "You seem tired. Let's get you in bed."
    The two walk up stairs.
    They go into the bedroom.
    Harley laughs, "It's been a while since we've been in here together."
    He nods, "Yep. But I think some of our best sex was while we were on the chase."
    She smiles, "I fell for you while we were chasing your brother and my daughter all over the country. I never expected to fall for a guy like you."
    He laughs, "Do you think I expected to fall for a detective/soccer mom?"
    Harley looks into his eyes, "I'm not feeling so tired anymore."
    Cyrus and Harley kiss.
    The two begin to make out and lay down on the bed.
    Harley begins to unbutton Cyrus's shirt.

    Beacon:
    Edmund and Cassie are sitting together.
    Cassie looks at him, "I forgave you a long time ago for everything that happened when I was with Richard."
    Edmund smiles, "And you forgiving me made me a better man. Maybe I can be that man again."
    She sighs, "I hope so. Because that man was a great man, that man was a man.... that I loved."
    Edmund looks into her eyes, "I am so sorry for what I did to you and Dinah, and Michelle. I was trying to hold onto you and I shouldn't have done it that way."
    Cassie has tears in her eyes, "Giving Hope to Danny and Michelle was one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make."
    Edmund sighs, "And I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry that you ever had to do any of that."
    She wipes a tear, "Things were so much better between us before we got married."
    He nods, "Maybe that was the one mistake. We should have kept on living in sin."
    She laughs, "Well you were really good with RJ and Will."
    Edmund sighs, "If there was ever any good in me it was because you put it there. I hope I can find it again one day. I'm so sorry Cassie. I'm so so sorry."
    Cassie takes his hand, "I forgive you Edmund. I forgive you."
    Edmund has tears rolling down his face.
    Words he has longed to hear.

    Side of the Road:
    Michelle stands a few feet away from the car.
    Jesse walks over, "I got good news and bad news."
    She sighs, "Of course you do."
    He looks at her, "I found the problem with your car. But you need a new part to it."
    She sighs, "Unless it's a tire I don't have anything."
    He nods, "There's a shop not to far from here. I can go get it."
    She nods, "Okay. Thank you."
    He looks at her, "I have a second helmet."
    She shakes her head, "I'm not getting on the back of your motorcycle Jesse. Sorry."
    He looks at her, "I'm not leaving you out here by yourself. Bill would never forgive me."
    She sighs, "I'm not a kid anymore. I'm a Mom. And a Doctor. I've seen so many idiots after they crash on these things."
    Jesse smiles, "I'll go slow. But I have a feeling once we're on you'll be begging me to speed."
    He hands her the helmet.
    Michelle puts it on and gets on the bike.
    She wraps her arms around him.
    The two drive off.



    Mallet and Dinah's:

    Dinah gets out of her car.
    She grabs a cake from the back.
    Dinah has her hands full and rings the doorbell.
    No one answers.
    She continues ringing it.
    Finally she puts her stuff down and opens the door.
    Dinah carries everything in, "I'm home! Mommy had a great day and we are going to celebrate!"
    Dinah walks in.
    She gets no response.
    She hollers again, "Come on! Where is everybody? Mallet, Maureen, Belinda? Where is Anthony?"
    Dinah sees a note.
    It's from Mallet, "Dear Dinah, I'm taking the family on a little trip, spur of the moment, You and I always loved spur of the moment. Or we used to. Anyways Maureen will be helping me. We'll be back, but hopefully you'll take this time to finish whatever project your working on and when we come home you can remember the children that you've been doing this for.... And maybe even me. I miss you. Love Mallet."
    Dinah shakes her head, "No! Mallet!"
    She goes to the garage and the car is gone.
    Dinah runs into the rooms upstairs.
    Every one's stuff is packed.
    Dinah falls down in the hallways, "Oh my God! Oh God what have I done?"
    Dinah cries alone in her hallway.

    Ravenwood:
    Ava lays on her bed.
    Shayne looks at her, "You know, you say you're this bad girl. But I have a feeling you weren't always a bad girl."
    Ava sits up, "No. I wasn't. I used to be a good girl. Just like my adopted mother Connie Peralta. I was in love with Sandy Foster."
    He looks at her, "Sandy?"
    She nods, "That's what brought me to town."
    Shayne nods, "Sandy was a good guy."
    Ava looks down, "He loved Tammy though. He was over me. So I found another guy Coop. But he was with Lizzie Spaulding. Eventually we got together. And I hurt him the same way Sandy hurt me. I fell for a rich loser. And pushed him away."
    He nods, "Everyone makes mistakes."
    Ava sighs, "I finally thought Bill was the guy I was meant to be with. But he couldn't keep his hands off my mother."
    She laughs.
    He looks at her, "I can't even imagine how that feels."
    Ava sighs, "The good girl thing didn't help me, the bad girl thing isn't working out. I'm just giving up on love."
    Shayne shakes his head, "No. Never, ever give up on love. I know that I never will."
    Ava stares at him.
    Shayne looks at his watch, "I have to get going."
    Ava nods, "Goodbye Mr. Lewis."
    He smiles, "No. See you later Ava."
    An annoyed Ava rolls her eyes.
    Shayne leaves.
    Ava lays back down and stares at the ceiling.
    She is trying to fight the smile that is appearing on her face.



    Spaulding Mansion:

    Alan walks into the dining room.
    He has been drinking.
    He is frustrated with everything going on.
    He kicks a chair, "Damn it! Damn it!"
    Alan is knocking everything around.
    He looks at the picture of him and Natalia's wedding.
    He takes it and sits down, "Where are you Natalia? Why are you hiding from me? How am I supposed to be happy without you and my son? How am I supposed to know if you are ever coming home?"

    Blake walks up with a drink in her hand, "It hurts, knowing that the love of your life would rather hide from you than be with you?"
    Alan sighs, "What would you know about that?"
    Blake knows she can't tell him about Ross, "Oh Alan. Just accept it. Maybe Natalia just couldn't handle your lifestyle."
    Alan nods, "She made me feel good. Then she just took it all away. Not only has she made me at my happiest, she has hurt me more than I thought anyone could. I trusted her."
    Blake sighs, "Life is so screwed up. People like us never get to have what we want. And if we get it it's taken away."
    Alan looks at her, "I have to say Blake, I'm kind of glad that you're here right now."
    She sighs, "Well I'll deny saying this when I'm more sober, but I'm kind of glad I'm here right now too."
    Alan looks into Blake's eyes.
    The wedding picture falls from his hands.
    Alan and Blake lean in and kiss.
    They drop their drinks.
    Alan picks Blake up and lays her down on the dining room table.
    Blake starts loosening Alan's tie.
    The two begin to take their clothes off as they continue to kiss.

    Cedars:


    Reva is getting dressed into her regular clothes.
    Lillian walks into Reva's room, "Hey how are you feeling?"
    Reva sighs, "Better. I know I'll need to use my crutches until I'm completely healed but I feel much better."
    Lillian sighs, "Well I'm sorry to be the one to do this but the Doctor wants you to stick around."
    Reva sighs, "What? No! Why?"
    Lillian shakes her head, "I wasn't told. But I'm sure it's just to check your x-rays one last time. Probably nothing else."
    Reva nods, "I hope so. I hate being in hospitals. I certainly have spent enough time in them."
    On the other side of the hospital Liz Spaulding gets out of her bed.

    Liz keeps thinking about Marina.
    Liz talks to herself, "Aubrey said it herself. That baby was Marina's. She took it from her. I have to find her."
    Liz isn't very strong.
    She looks out the window.
    Company is right across the street.
    Liz wonders if she could make it.



    Beacon:


    Jeffrey is sitting in his room.
    Marah walks in with bags.
    He turns to her, "What's all this?"
    She puts them down, "I got some stuff for RJ. He's going to be with us soon so I thought I'd get some gifts for him."
    Jeffrey laughs, "It's not his birthday Marah."
    She sighs, "I know but he is coming home so I thought it'd be a nice treat for him. I got some baseball stuff, some video games, a kite, oh and I thought it'd be fun to take him swimming."
    Jeffrey stands up, "Well don't get your hopes up. Marah he's a teenager now. He's not going to want us to take him out to the park or the pool. He's gonna want to go with his friends."
    Marah sighs, "He's been away at boarding school. He hasn't seen these kids in a while."
    Jeffrey smiles, "He'll be fine. We'll help him adjust back to life in Springfield."
    Marah hugs him, "I just want him to be happy. I mean he grew up without his father. Now his mother is in a coma. I just want him to have something to look forward too."
    Jeffrey kisses her.



    Road:


    Susan and Marina re driving around.
    Susan pulls the car over.
    Marina sighs, "There is no where to go in this town."
    Susan nods, "Well duh! Everyone here is lame."
    Marina sits back, "I feel like everywhere I go people are staring at me and whispering. They all know."
    Susan sighs, "Cousin, people have been whispering at me for years. What's worse is when they point and throw things."
    Marina sighs, "I'm just so stressed out."
    Susan grabs her purse, "I could help you with that. But I have to ask first: Are you a cop right now?"
    Marina looks at her, "Susan unless you pull a dead body out of that bag, I'm not going to do anything."
    Susan pulls a plastic bag out of her purse.
    She puts it in Marina's face, "You wanna?"
    Marina turns to her, "I thought you didn't do drugs anymore?"
    Susan pulls it away, "Hey! I did. I'm clean. But I don't count this. I'm talking about coke, x, meth, and all that junk. Those are bad for you. But this stuff is good for you! Alchol is worse for you then this."
    Marina laughs, "You are very passionate."
    Susan nods, "I'm thinking about doing some PSAs."
    Marina holds the bag in her hands.



    Towers:


    Mel is going over her wedding plans with Olivia and Dinah.
    Mel looks at them, "Well now we don't know if Natalia is going to be back in time."
    Olivia nods, "Well she is married to Alan now. That's what happens when you get tangled up in the Spauldings."
    Mel turns to her, "Hey! Do you forget I'm marrying Alan Michael Spaulding?"
    Olivia sighs, "I'm sorry. I'm sure he's different. But you know Natalia thought Alan was."
    Mel shakes her head, "Stop it. Now I don't even know what Alan did that got Natalia so upset."
    Dinah sighs, "All I know is Rafe left town because of Alan and Natalia is going to find him."
    Mel is confused, "Why would Alan do that?"
    Olivia sits up, "Well I bet it's because of the company. Alan wants to be CEO but if Rafe is getting into trouble it's gonna look bad. Maybe he sent him away until it's over."
    Mel sighs, "Maybe."
    Dinah nods, "It's crazy what running for CEO can do to a person you know?"
    Mel is thinking about Alan Michael.
    Dinah and Olivia turn to each other.
    They are aware of the seeds they've planted in Mel.



    Old Museum:


    Coop walks in.
    He looks around and no one appears to be there.
    He goes to get some stuff from his room.
    Stephanie walks out, "Coop? Hey."
    He turns, "Oh... Steph. I didn't know anyone was going to be here."
    She nods, "It feels like you don't even live here anymore."
    He nods, "Well I've been sleeping at the boarding house. My family just has a lot going on."
    Stephanie nods, "I'm so sorry about Marina. That's terrible. No mother should have to deal with that."
    Coop sighs, "Yeah. Uh... I have to get going. I am late for work."
    She is confused, "Isn't school over?"
    He nods, "Yeah. But you know a teacher's job is never really done. I got some summer stuff going on."
    Stephanie looks at him, "Are you teaching summer school?"
    He hesitates, "Um... well..."
    She sighs, "Are you going to see Vi?"
    Coop turns to her, "What?"
    Stephanie has tears in her eyes, "Coop what is going on with you and my niece?"
    Coop and Stephanie stare at each other.



    Company:


    Lucy and David are running the restaurant.
    The other Coopers are out.
    David stays in the kitchen.
    Lucy walks back there, "Are you ever going to say hi to everyone out here? I feel lonely."
    He sighs, "I'm just... I don't feel like going out there right now."
    She looks at him, "David how long is this going to last. No one here blames you for Marina's baby dying."
    David sighs, "I can't even look at Marina. I feel guilty. I will never forgive myself."
    Lucy grabs his arms, "Listen to me! You have to stop this! You are my hero. I love you. I love you so much David. No, you couldn't save everyone this time. But you saved my niece and I am so proud of you."
    The two kiss.
    They hear noises in the diner.
    They step out of the kitchen.
    Liz Spaulding is stumbling around, "Marina... Where is Marina?"
    Liz collapses.
    Lucy and David catch her.

    PART TWO:

    Beacon:
    Marah is sitting at the desk.
    Jeffrey looks over at her, "What are you doing?"
    She sighs, "Oh I'm making a list of kids for RJ to hang out with this summer. You know what I mean?"
    Jeffrey nods, "I think so."
    Marah sighs, "Now when he was younger his best friend was Harley's son Zach. I used to babysit them a lot. Maybe I could call Harley and see if Zach and introduce RJ to some good kids."
    Jeffrey laughs, "You can't plan this kid's life out. RJ will be fine. He's a good kid."
    Marah nods, "He's just been through so much. His father died when he was a baby. His adoptive father died when he was young. And now his mother just totally screwed things up."
    Jeffrey sighs, "Well Cassie didn't really screw up. She was sick."
    Marah shakes her head, "I'm sorry. Maybe it sounds cold but I'm kind of glad she is out of RJ's life now. He deserves better than anything Cassie could offer him."
    Jeffrey sighs, "I was with Cassie for a while. She was a great mother to RJ, as well as Tammy and Will."
    Marah sighs, "I don't know. All I know is that RJ needs me now and I'm not going to let him down like his mother did."
    Marah goes to the phone to call Harley.

    Towers:
    Mel, Olivia, and Dinah are still discussing.
    Mel sighs, "Well I'm so excited. I never had a real wedding you know. Rick and I were married in the hospital."
    Dinah smiles, "You deserve it honey. We are all so happy for you."
    Olivia nods, "Have you guys decided on a honeymoon?"
    Mel sighs, "Oh... uh. I thought I told you. We decided to postpone a honeymoon. He just has a lot with the company and everything. We can always do it later."
    Olivia nods, "Oh I'm sorry. You did tell me."
    Mel gets up, "I'm gonna to go the bathroom."
    Mel goes to the restroom.
    Dinah turns to Olivia, "I feel bad. I feel like we are manipulating our best friends."
    Olivia shakes her head, "We aren't. We are doing what's best for them. Natalia and Mel have to see that Alan and Alan Michael need to be prevented from becoming CEO. It would ruin their lives."
    Dinah sighs, "Well I think Natalia will be easy to finish convincing. She is very upset with Alan. She doesn't even want to return for the votes."
    Olivia nods, "Do you think you could get her to sign you over her proxy?"
    Dinah nods, "I'm certainly going to try."
    The two women wait for Mel to return.

    Old Museum:
    Coop walks towards Stephanie, "What are you talking about?"
    Stephanie sighs, "Coop what is going on with you and Vi?"
    Coop sighs, "What did she tell you?"
    Stephanie backs away, "Please tell me it's not true."
    He shakes his head, "Of course it's not! I can't believe you would even ask me that question."
    Stephanie sighs, "I'm sorry! But you were clearly lying to me about where you were going. And Vi seemed pretty sure that you were... that the two of you were involved."
    Coop nods, "I know. I didn't want to say anything. But at prom, Vi professed her love to me. She saw us kissing and got angry with me. Like I was cheating on her."
    Stephanie is confused, "I don't get it! Why would she think that you were dating?"
    He shakes his head, "I have no idea! She was always hanging around after school. But I didn't think much of it. Now looking back... I don't know I guess maybe she thought we were flirting."
    Stephanie sighs, "Well she is convinced that the two of you are in love with each other."
    Coop nods, "We need to get this settled. Because things are going to get very ugly."
    Stephanie and Coop are both worried.

    Road:
    Susan and Marina are sitting in the car.
    Marina is laughing, "I'm so glad you talked me into this."
    Susan giggles, "Have you ever tried that before?"
    Marina shakes her head, "No! I almost did in high school. But I never actually did."
    Susan grins, "See it's not so bad now is it?"
    Marina shakes her head, "No! Not at all! Why is this stuff illegal in the first place?"
    Susan shakes her head, "The government is messed up man. I don't know how you work with it."
    Marina sighs, "Well I don't know about that. I'm totally leaving the force. I'm done with being a cop."
    Susan claps her hands, "Yes! Yes! I saved you from yourself."
    Marina cracks up, "I love you right now Susan!"
    Susan starts the car, "Let's get out of here. The roads empty now but you never know."
    Marina turns to her, "You sure you can drive like this?"
    Susan nods, "Are you kidding me? I'm a better driver like this. I am so much more aware."
    Susan and Marina drive off.

    Company:
    Lucy and David are with Liz.
    David sighs, "The hospital is on the way to bring her back."
    Lucy looks down, "Liz why were you leaving the hospital?"
    Liz opens her eyes, "Marina... where is Marina? I was looking for her. That's why."
    David looks at her, "Marina isn't here right now. Why do you need to see her right now?"
    Liz tries to sit up, "I have to tell her... now. I have to tell her before it's too late."
    Lucy holds Liz, "Just relax. What is this about?"
    Liz sighs, "Her baby."
    David looks at her, "Liz. What do you have to say to Marina about her baby? What's going on?"
    Liz sighs, "Marina's baby... it's alive."
    Lucy and David look at each other.
    Both are in shock.

    Cedars:
    Reva sits in her room and waits for the doctor.
    She is getting annoyed and frustrated.
    The doctor walks in.
    Reva turns to him, "Great. I really have to go. I'm sorry. I know I'm an impatient patient but I really have to get home to my family. They wanted to go out to eat. I just need to go."
    The doctor shakes his head, "I'm sorry Ms. Shayne. But we need to have a talk first."
    Reva nods, "What about?"
    He sighs, "We didn't want to scare you until we were sure."
    She gets worried, "Sure about what?"
    He looks at her, "Ms. Shayne, the nurse discovered a mass when she was examining you."
    Reva can't hear what he is saying.
    His mouth is moving but she hears nothing.
    Then she finally hears his words, "Ms. Shayne your cancer may have returned."
    Reva's stomach drops to her feet.

    Harley's House:


    Cyrus is with his brother.
    Cyrus looks at him, "Susan has been sleeping around with Gus Aitoro since Spring."
    Guillespie shakes his head, "No. No Susan wouldn't do that to me. We are in love."
    Cyrus sighs, "I'm so sorry you found out like this."
    G shakes his head, "No! The only reason I was working on myself and getting better was so I could come back for her."
    Cyrus nods, "I know."
    G is angry, "Now what's the point? What's to stop me from going back to my old ways?"
    Cyrus grabs him, "Don't! Don't talk like that. You have changed. And I'm proud of you. Don't give up on everything you've worked so hard for just because some girl turns her back on you. That's what I did. When Dinah turned her back on me I gave up on myself. I won't let you make the same mistakes that I made. You hear me?"
    Guillespie nods.
    Cyrus looks at him, "Now I know you're a free man. But people in Springfield are not going to be happy to see you."
    G scoffs, "So?"
    Cyrus looks at him, "So we need to get you out of here."
    Cyrus is worried about his brother.



    Farmhouse:


    Jeffrey is with Marah.
    Jeffrey looks at her, "I'm sorry but me and you getting married will never happen."
    She gets upset, "Why? Why do you have to say that? Are you trying to just break my heart."
    He sighs, "I'm trying stop you from getting your hopes up!"
    She sighs, "You are basically telling me that you would never marry someone like me."
    He shakes his head, "I'm not saying that. I am not a marriage person. I don't understand it and I don't agree with it. I will never get married to someone Marah."
    Marah has tears in her eyes, "I don't know why you are so stubborn. I don't know what is wrong with you.
    Jeffrey sighs, "It's just how I always felt."
    She nods, "But time changes things. I mean look at you, you're living in a farmhouse with me and RJ, did you ever expect that to happen. I mean I sure didn't."
    Jeffrey shakes his head, "No I didn't. But Marah I just don't feel like marriage is for me. I never have."
    Marah cries, "So basically what you are telling me is that as long as I'm with you I'll never be married?"
    Marah is very upset with him.



    Reva Bend:


    Noah pulls up in front of Reva's house.
    Reva turns to him, "Thank you so much Noah for bringing me home. I really appreciate it."
    Noah nods, "No problem. I'm your doctor and it's my job to make sure that you are okay."
    Reva grins, "Oh right. You're my doctor. See ya Doc."
    Reva gets out and walks towards her house.
    Noah watches her.
    Reva is close to the door when she stumbles.
    Noah races out of the car, "Reva! Reva!"
    Reva almost falls.
    Noah runs over and helps her, "Reva! Are you okay?"
    She nods, "Yeah I'm fine. I just got really dizzy, I reached for something to lean on but nothing was there. Sorry."
    He sighs, "It's fine I got here in time for you to lean on."
    She grins, "Thank you Noah."
    Noah helps her to the door.
    She unlocks the door and opens it.
    Noah walks her in.
    She sits on her couch, "I appreciate all of this."
    Noah looks around, "Is there anything else I can do?"
    She shakes her head, "I'm no damsel in distress Noah. You can go now if you like."
    He hesitates, "Oh... yeah I should."
    She smiles at him, "Unless you don't want to."
    Noah doesn't know what to say to her.
    Reva Shayne is very confident in herself.



    Cedars:


    Mel is looking for her mother.
    Rick sees her, "Mel."
    She turns, "Rick hi!"
    The two hug.
    Rick smiles, "What are you doing here?"
    She grins, "I was just going to have lunch with my Mom but she might be busy right now."
    Rick nods, "Well she is a busy woman. Hey how is Alan Michael?"
    She sighs, "He's uh... it's complicated right now. But we are getting through it."
    He sighs, "I'm worried, from what Phillip told me Alan Michael is pretty stressed out."
    Mel nods, "Well you know it's this whole Spaulding thing."
    Rick smiles, "Well I'm glad my cousin has the best wife in the world to lean on right now. I know that for a fact."
    Mel shakes her head, "I'm sorry but I can't accept that title."
    Rick sighs, "Come on you are the best wife a man could ever ask for Mel. You know that."
    She shakes her head, "No I'm not. I feel like I already totally let Alan Michael down. And you know if I had been a better wife to you then maybe... things wouldn't have turned out the way they did."
    Rick hates seeing Mel so upset.



    Carriage House:


    Blake walks into the house.
    Kevin walks over, "Hey Mom."
    She looks at him, "Hi sweetheart. How are you?"
    He nods, "I'm good. I don't have anything to do so I'm just going to chill at home today"
    She smiles, "Oh well okay. Well maybe later we can go out to lunch, just you and me?"
    He nods, "Sure."
    Kevin goes and sits in front of the TV.
    Blake sits next to him, "You know Jason is really enjoying himself at Springfield U. It's not to late for you to enroll again."
    Kevin shakes his head, "Mom college just isn't for me."
    Blake nods, "That's fine. I was just suggesting it. I mean I know you've been bored and everything."
    Kevin sighs, "I need a job. I've been applying everywhere."
    Blake grins, "Well how about I try and get you a job down at the station? I mean I have some pull down there and so does your sister Dinah. I think it might be fun for you."
    He nods, "Yeah we can check it out."
    She hugs him, "Well good that's one problem. Now I can throw on my matchmaker hat and we'll get a nice girl for you."
    Kevin can't take his mind of Rocky.



    Beacon:


    Olivia is in her room.
    There is a knock on the door.
    Bill is there with Emma.
    Emma walks in, "Hey Mom."
    Olivia hugs her, "Hey! How was your Dad's?"
    She smiles, "Good I have to call Leah."
    Emma goes to her room.
    Olivia looks at him, "Do you want to come in for some coffee?"
    He nods, "Sure."
    She lets him in, "So, I was hoping we could talk about this whole Phillip thing while she's in the other room."
    Bill nods, "Of course. So what's going on?"
    She sighs, "Well the restraining order is going to be reviewed again in a few weeks. And then a judge can decide whether to lift it and give Phillip parental rights."
    Bill nods, "And you think Phillip is still dangerous?"
    She sighs, "Honestly right now no. But look at Alan Michael. A while ago he seemed fine. If Phillip gets to stressed out he will break down again. Last time he tried to kidnap all the children. He could do it again. I have spent so much time protecting Emma from the Spauldings. I will not let them get to her again."
    Bill looks at her, "Of course we won't. Phillip gave up his rights along time ago. We are Emma's parents. We raised her. I'm not going to let Phillip take her from us again."
    Olivia hugs him.

    PART TWO:

    Reva Bend:
    Reva smiles at Noah.
    Noah looks at her, "I don't even... Reva I am your doctor and you need to remember that."
    She laughs, "Don't be such a baby. You can stay and hang out at my house Noah. It's not weird."
    He nods, "It's very weird."
    She shakes her head, "It would only be weird if were... I don't know, naked. It wouldn't be new but it would be weird."
    She laughs.
    Noah has a nervous laugh, "You seem different but the same all at the same time."
    She looks at him, "How so?"
    He grins, "It feels like you are more of the Reva that you always were. Like you have finally realized who you really are."
    She sighs, "More like remembered. Like I told you Jonathan reminded me of who I am. But I think oddly enough cancer reminded me. I fought cancer... not on my own I had great doctors and Billy and Jonathan and Lizzie. But I didn't have Josh or any other guy who I had to go to in order to fight my battles. That is me. That is Reva Shayne."
    Noah smiles at her, "I think that is the perfect attitude you are going to need to get through this."
    She grins, "Thank you."
    He looks at his watch, "I should get back to the hospital. I'll see you later Reva."
    She waves, "See ya Noah."
    Noah walks out.
    He has a big smile on his face while he goes back to the car.

    Cedars:
    Mel sits in a chair.
    Rick sits next to her, "Mel I don't want to hear you blame yourself for Alan Michael and I sure as hell don't want to hear you blame yourself for what happened to us."
    Mel turns to him, "I blame you too don't worry."
    He nods, "Well good."
    She sighs, "But I kept pushing you away when I should have been working on our marriage and that's why you slept with Beth."
    Rick shakes his head, "Don't do this to yourself."
    She sighs, "I shouldn't have let things get that bad. That's what I did with Alan Michael I let things get worse and worse. We're newlyweds and I don't even know how long our marriage will last."
    Rick hugs Mel, "I'm sorry. You deserve so much more than what you've been given Mel."
    Mel pulls away, "Don't do that. Don't praise me. I don't deserve to be praised."
    He nods, "Yes you do."
    She shakes her head, "No. That's my problem. People just compliment me on my skills and my achievments but ignore my flaws. Maybe if people had then my life wouldn't be so screwed up."
    Mel gets up and leaves.
    Rick worries about his ex-wife.

    Beacon:
    Olivia is sitting with Bill.
    She looks at him, "You know Emma is really excited for your wedding. She talks about it all the time."
    Bill nods, "Yeah I think it's going to be great. I hope you can come."
    She sighs, "Um... I just don't know. I mean Michelle is a nice woman, she's great with the kids. But it's just, it would be uncomfortable for me to be there."
    Bill is confused, "You didn't seem that bothered by it before."
    She nods, "Well honestly maybe it's because I had so much hope for me and Gus. That didn't happen."
    He looks at her, "You don't want me to be with someone unless you are?"
    She sighs, "No! I didn't mean for it to come out like that. I'm sorry. I just feel like... it's been almost a year since everything fell apart for us. I'm sure that has something to do with it."
    Bill sighs, "I'm sorry I didn't think of it like that."
    She shakes her head, "I'm just selfish and I'm sorry. I don't know why. I guess it was different then with Josh, Alan, and Phillip. With them I never really believed I was going to be with them forever. But with you... there was a time where I thought we might be."
    Bill looks at her, "I did too. Hey but I gotta get going back home to HB. But I'll call you later."
    She nods, "Okay sure."
    He goes to the door and turns, "You know Olivia, if it makes you feel better, I wouldn't want to watch you get married again."
    Bill lets that sit with her and then leaves.

    She smiles, "Come on! I've always been a cool Mom that you can talk to about this stuff."
    Kevin shakes his head, "No Mom is that cool."
    Blake sighs, "I'm sorry. But you just seem so down on yourself lately. I don't want you to forget what an amazing man you are."
    He sighs, "Mom don't."
    She looks at him, "I'm serious. I know last year was rough. After everything that happened with Rocky Cooper. But it's in the past and I think Rocky has forgiven you. I don't know I don't see him much. I hear he is becoming a cop now."
    Kevin gets up, "I don't want to talk about Rocky Cooper."
    She looks at him, "I'm sorry. You're right. It's in the past. Nothing we need to worry about now."
    Kevin walks away.
    He begins to wonder if he will ever be able to tell anyone about his relationship with Rocky.
    Blake turns and looks at a picture of Ross.
    She'd give anything to have him here.



    Old Cabin:
    Cyrus pulls up in front of the cabin.
    Guillespie gets out, "Seriously?"
    Cyrus gets out, "You need to lay low."
    G scoffs, "Why? I'm a free man now."
    Cyrus turns to him, "You don't get it do you?"
    He nods, "I think I do get it. You've got this whole new life here and you don't want me to ruin it. So you're gonna hide me here. Hide me from you're new friends."
    Cyrus shakes his head, "No. It's not like that. I'm doing this for you own good."
    Guillespie scoffs, "I'm sure."
    Cyrus grabs him, "Do you know how many people would love to see you dead? You being here is a danger for you. If you go out on the street you can guarantee you'll be attacked."
    Guillespie shakes his head, "I'll be fine."
    Cyrus looks at him, "Really? Think of the people you've kidnapped, the places you've burned down... think of the people you killed."
    Guillespie looks at him, "Fine."
    Cyrus hugs him, "I'll be back to check on you."
    Cyrus gets into his car and drives off.
    Guillespie has no idea what his future will be now.

    Jeffrey walks to her, "I'm not trying to upset you. I'm being honest with you Marah."
    She cries, "You don't ever want to marry me."
    He takes her, "Marah, we don't need some papers and signatures telling us what we mean to each other."
    Marah shakes her head, "It's more than that."
    He shakes his head, "No. It's not. Believe me I've married people before. It's all just legal stuff. What two people share between them should have nothing to do with what's on paper."
    Marah sighs, "Jeffrey-"
    He looks at her, "Don't you think our relationship is fine the way it is?"
    She nods, "Of course."
    He smiles, "Why fix something that isn't broken?"
    Jeffrey's phone goes off.
    Jeffrey looks at it, "I have to take this I'll be right back."
    Jeffrey steps outside.
    Marah looks at the dresses she designed.
    She sighs, "We will be married Jeffrey. You'll see. We are going to have all our dreams come true and you won't ruin that for me."

    Phillip nods, "Beth has changed a lot this past year."
    Harley shakes her head, "No. This is the Beth that we saw while you were gone all those years. The crazy woman who married and Alan and made life hell for everyone in town."

    He grabs Ava by the arm.

    Susan whispers, "Are you trying to hint that you want me to help you kill Guillespie?"
    Stephanie scoffs, "No! I'm not a murderer Susan. I just need to get him out of my life."
    Susan shakes her head, "I don't know."
    Stephanie cries, "Susan! He threw me down the stairs! He has been hitting me and hurting me."
    Susan stares, "You're a cop!"
    Stephanie nods, "And he'll use that! He's going to make me lose my job! Please you have to help me!"
    Susan shushes her, "Will you please calm down?"
    Stephanie cries, "I have no one else to go to. I can't go to my family and I know Rocky can't do anything. But you know Guillespie. You were in love with him, you spent years of your life with him."
    Susan nods, "Yep."
    Stephanie looks at her, "Please."
    Susan looks at her, "We have hated each other since we met. We fought over Sam and that led to him almost dying. Now we are getting caught up in this. Do you really think this is a good idea?"

    Rick is pacing back and forth.
    Mel sits at the counter with her head buried in her hands.
    He shakes his head, "What do we do?"
    Mel sighs, "I honestly am not sure. I thought we could call the camp and get a hold of Leah but... she'll be leaving soon and even then I'm not sure what to say."
    Rick nods, "How about she is grounded? And how about she never sees that Zach again?"
    Mel sighs, "Do that and we will basically be pushing them even closer together. They're teenagers."
    Rick looks at her, "So we don't punish her?"
    Mel looks at him, "Well excuse me Rick, but I think she has already been punished hasn't she?"
    He turns away.
    She sighs, "She has no cell phone or Internet at camp. She probably has no idea what's going on right now. When she gets home she will find out that all of her peers have seen that picture."
    He shakes his head, "Why would she do this?"
    Mel sighs, "Come on Rick, when you were a teenager I'm sure kids would have done that if they could have."
    Rick sighs, "I thought Leah was different."
    Mel nods, "Sometimes we all need to remember that our kids are not exceptions. And sometimes they have to learn things the hard way."
    Rick looks at Mel, "I'm going to find out how that picture got sent out. Someone is going to be in trouble for what they did to our daughter."

    Ashlee look at her, "Somehow I have a hard time picturing you serving and working behind a bar."
    Roxie laughs, "I'm a Shayne. We were not always known for being classy and sophisticated."
    Ashlee grins.
    Roxie smiles, "See I got a smile out of you. That must mean that I'm not all bad."
    Ashlee looks at her, "Making me smile is not going to make up for all of our past problems."
    Roxie sighs, "I know. And I can apologize over and over but you won't forgive me until you're ready. I've come to terms with that. Doesn't mean I won't quit trying."
    Ashlee nods, "I know."
    Roxie sighs, "Well maybe you can give your Mom a chance and let me take you out to lunch this weekend."
    Ashlee looks at her, "Sorry but I already have plans with Dalton this weekend."
    Roxie looks at her, "Dalton? Amanda Spaulding's son right?"

    Amanda reaches her leg across the couch and slowly rubs Dalton's leg up and down.
    Dalton pulls away.
    The maid walks out.
    Dalton looks at her, "What the hell are you doing?"
    She sighs, "Come on. You know it's a little fun when you are risking getting caught."
    He shakes his head, "One minute you are telling me that I need to be more careful. Now you are the one putting everything at risk with our situation. What's up?"
    She shakes her head, "Nothing. But I think you should sleep in my room tonight."
    He scoffs, "Last time you worried about people catching us in bed together. Remember?"
    She nods, "Well we can just tell them that you were afraid of the storm outside and wanted to hop into bed with me. Come on, it's fun to be a little dangerous."
    He stares, "What has gotten into you?"
    She sighs, "You are so grumpy today. Are things not going well between you and Ashton?"
    Dalton nods, "It's Ashlee. And now I understand what you're so upset about."
    Amanda laughs, "I'd love to hear this."
    He nods, "You're jealous of Ashlee."
    Amanda laughs at Dalton.



    Beach:


    Liz sits in her car.
    Baby Clay continues crying in the back seat.
    The beach is empty now because of the storm.
    Over in the parking lot.

    Phillip parks his car.
    He got her voicemail and found out where she was.
    He comes running down the hill, "Lizzie!"
    She looks in the rearview mirror.
    She sees her father running towards the car.
    Liz locks the doors.
    Phillip runs up to the car.
    He bangs on the door, "Lizzie what are you doing?"
    She cries, "We can't handle this anymore! I need to get Remy back! There is only one thing that I can do."
    Phillip shouts, "No!!!"
    He tries to pull the door open.
    Liz hits the gas.
    Her car goes speeding towards the lake.
    She hears the water splashing under the car.
    She begins to slow down.
    Baby Clay is still crying.
    Suddenly she hears a light tap on the window.

    Liz turns to see Felicia standing outside of the car.
    She sighs, "Lizzie please let me in."
    Liz unlocks the door for Remy's mother.
    Liz looks around and Phillip is no longer in sight.
    Felicia gets in the back seat with Baby Clay.
    She shuts the door.
    Liz looks at her, "What are you doing?"
    Felicia looks at her, "I sent your father away. I'm not letting him ruin this for us. We all need Remy don't we?"
    Liz stares in shock.
    Felicia looks at her, "What are you waiting for? Floor it!"
    Liz looks towards the deep water ahead.

    PART TWO:


    Cheer Camp:

    All of Springfield high's cheerleaders are boarding the bus.
    They just finished their camp and are getting ready to head home.
    Ms. Chiles stands in front of the bus, "Okay everyone if you will quiet down, your cell phones will be handed back and you can throw yourselves back into your technology. Thank you for putting all of your energy into camp, I promise it will pay off."
    All the girls cheer in excitement.
    She starts handing them back.
    One of the girls hollers, "Let's see who has the most messages!"
    All the girls are talking.

    Leah sits with her friend Kristen.
    Kristen looks at her, "After camp, you are totally the number one choice for Cheer Captain senior year."
    Leah grins, "One more year."
    The girls get their cell phones.
    They both turn them on instantly.
    Leah grins, "I have so much to catch up on!"
    Kristen nods, "I wonder what the juicy gossip is now. I bet we'll all spend the entire bus ride talking about it."
    Leah looks at her phone, "Wow. I cleared my messages before we left and it's already full."
    Kristen looks through the messages on her phone, her jaw drops, "Oh my God... Leah..."
    All of the girls on the bus are laughing and staring.
    Leah looks at one of the picture messages on her phone.
    Her eyes widen.
    The naked photo she sent to Zach has been sent around.
    She looks around.
    All of the girls are staring, laughing and whispering.
    Leah's stomach drops as the bus takes off.
    Leah is fighting tears as she anticipates the long bus ride home.

    Outskirts:
    Ashlee is still at the bar with Roxie.
    Ashlee scoffs, "Wow. I really thought you were trying to change and now here you are trying to control me."
    Roxie sighs, "I'm not! I'm just warning you about Dalton. I don't know what is going on but you need to stay away from him. Please trust me on this one Ashlee."
    Ashlee shakes her head, "No. I already have an over protective mother. I don't need another."
    Roxie sighs, "I know. But this isn't just some guy. He is connected to the Spauldings."
    Ashlee nods, "So?"
    Roxie looks at her, "Do you want to end up like Remy Boudreau? That family is dangerous. You don't want to get tied in."
    Ashlee sighs, "You think I don't know that? Doris was married to Alan Spaulding! I shot Alan Spaulding. I know how mean and cruel that family can be. Probably better than you do."
    Roxie sighs, "Then why get involved?"
    Ashlee sighs, "I like Dalton."
    Roxie shakes her head, "But look at you. You are becoming a doctor. You found your biological parents. You may not care for me but I know you adore Johnny and the Bauers."
    Ashlee nods, "I do."
    Roxie sighs, "You have so much going for you Ashlee. And believe it or not I'm happy for you. I don't want to see you lose it."
    Ashlee looks at her, "I won't. Now can I order my drink? Or do I have to go somewhere else?"
    Roxie worries about Ashlee.

    Spaulding Mansion:
    Amanda gets off the couch.
    She is still laughing, "The idea that I could be jealous of a little twit like what's-her-name."
    He nods, "You know her name is Ashlee. And if you weren't so jealous then why don't you like her?"
    Amanda turns to him, "She's annoying! You know she is. She's like a fly, and I am shopping for a fly swatter."
    Dalton scoffs, "You are something else. Ever since I came back you act like I'm the most disgusting fool you ever met. Now you see me having fun with Ashlee and you have to jump in and ruin it."
    Amanda shakes her head, "Don't pull that with me. Ashlee is not your type. She's young, innocent, and naive. There is no way you could be attracted to her and me at the same time."
    He looks at her, "Who says I'm still attracted to you?"
    She walks towards him, "Don't try to deny it Dalton."
    He looks away.
    She rubs up against him, "You know I'm the best you ever had. And there is no way in hell that some little aspiring doctor is going to be able to compete with me."
    Dalton shoves her away.
    Amanda walks after him.
    He turns, "Get off my case!"
    She scoffs, "You're in my family's home."
    He nods, "Oh yeah? Well how about I tell your family that I'm not really your son?"
    Amanda stares at him.
    He nods, "I thought so. Now you leave me alone or I will blow you out of the water. You got it?"
    Dalton walks out of the room.
    Amanda is left furious.

    Beach:
    Liz stares out at the lake.
    Felicia is in the back seat with Baby Clay.
    Felicia buckles in.
    Liz looks at her, "What are you doing?"
    Felicia sighs, "I knew something was going to happen today. I could feel it. Then I saw your Dad racing here. I put it all together. You're feeling what I'm feeling. You miss Remy."
    Liz cries, "It's more than that! I need him."
    Felicia nods, "I know. So do I. I'm coming with you."
    Liz looks at her, "You're a therapist. I know reverse psychology! Don't mess with my head."
    Felicia shakes her head, "You don't want to do it do you Liz? You want me to stop you. But I'm not going to. Just hit the gas Liz. Drive all three of us in the lake. Let the car sink."
    Liz slowly puts her foot on the gas.
    The car keeps going deeper.
    Felicia sits perfectly still.
    Liz cries, "Stop!"
    Felicia sighs, "I'm not doing anything."
    Baby Clay is crying now.
    Liz throws her face onto the wheel.
    Felicia looks at her, "You think Remy wants this?"
    Liz shakes her head.
    Felicia looks at her, "What other choice do you have? You get out now they'll throw you in Ravenwood. Mother's like you drown their children too. Just like this."
    Liz is sobbing.
    Felicia sighs, "I'll give you one more option. You stop, get out, and come stay at my house. You and Clay can stay in Remy's old room. What do you say Liz?"
    Liz is crying and slowly nods her head in agreement.
    Liz slowly backs the car up but has difficulty do to the water.
    She stops the car and gets out.
    She begins sobbing uncontrollably.
    Felicia gets out and hands her Clay.
    Liz cries in Felicia's arms.
    Phillip comes racing over to them.

    Cedars:
    Susan sits with Stephanie.
    Stephanie holds a small mirror up.
    She is looking at her face.
    Susan sighs, "You think you can do this?"
    Stephanie nods, "I have to. I can't handle anymore bruises. He isn't going to stop."
    Susan sighs, "He's not going to be a jerk the whole time. He will cry and beg you to forgive him. He will throw himself at your feet and do everything he can to get you back."
    Stephanie nods, "I know."
    Susan takes a deep breath, "It's hard to hate him. Almost as hard as it is to love him. I don't know why. He killed my cousin. He made my life hell. But for the longest time I thought he was the love of my life. I dropped out of college to go on a crime spree with him. I almost through my life away for him. Then he took the rap for our crimes. I don't know. I don't think about it much now."
    Stephanie nods, "He made me feel like the most beautiful angel he had ever met. When I was with Remy he was still getting over Blake. Coop... he loved me but got over me almost instantly. Sam was.... I'm not even going to get into that right now."
    Susan nods, "Good idea."
    Stephanie cries, "I thought maybe I had found the person.... it doesn't matter. I'm done with Guillespie."
    Susan nods, "I think Springfield is done with Guillespie."
    Stephanie looks at her, "Does that mean you'll really help me?"
    Susan nods, "He needs to pay for all of it."
    Stephanie nods, "Yes."
    Susan reaches her hand out, "We do this. Then we are done. We cut ourselves out of each other's lives. Agreed?"
    Stephanie shakes her hand, "Agreed."
    The two stare at each other.

    Beacon:
    Ava is running through the storm.
    She is in a lot of pain now.
    She keeps running and screaming.
    Ava grows tired and realizes her only safe bet is to run back towards the hotel.
    She won't make it anywhere else in her condition.
    She turns and tries to hurry back.
    Ava feels her heart beating intensely.
    Her lungs are in pain now.
    She is very tired.
    Ava begins to fall.
    Suddenly she sees her own face looking back at her.
    She picks up a flier reporting her missing.

    Shayne still loves her.
    Ava suddenly finds the energy to run.
    She is running back towards the Beacon.
    The storm is getting worse.
    Ava keeps running but trips.
    She falls on her face.
    Her weak arms can't help her up.
    Suddenly she hears footsteps.
    She looks up to see the man standing above her.
    He is now holding a large knife.
    She kicks at him.
    He struggles with her.
    He keeps throwing the knife towards her.
    She is kicking and screaming.
    All Ava can think about is her son and Shayne.
    Ava is literally fighting for her life.
    The man grabs her.
    Ava fights to keep the knife from stabbing her.
    She is screaming through the thunder.
    The thunder begins to quiet down.
    Ava's screams are now gone.
    The man picks up Ava's body.
    He walks away with it.
    The rain begins to wash her blood off the grass.

    Towers:



    Clarissa sits with Baby Adam.
    Rafe stands in the back of the room.
    The three remain in awkward silence.
    Clarissa hears the elevator stop on their floor.
    She hears footsteps coming towards her door.
    Clarissa takes a deep breath.
    There is a gentle knock at her door.
    Clarissa looks up.
    She doesn't move.
    Rafe finally walks over and opens the door.
    He doesn't say a word.

    He walks away as Bridget and Dylan walk in with a seat to carry Adam in.
    Bridget smiles, "Hey."
    Clarissa nods, "Hi."
    Dylan nods, "How are you two doing today?"
    Clarissa nods, "Good, we're good."
    Bridget looks at her, "Are you sure you're ready for this?"
    Clarissa looks down.
    Bridget sits down next to her, "Clarissa, if you are ever going to change your mind about this it needs to be now. If you have any second thoughts, please tell us."
    Clarissa looks at Bridget and Dylan.
    She shakes her head, "I love Adam. But I'm not ready to be a parent. You two are. And in the long run I know this is what's best for him."
    Dylan nods, "Clarissa I promise you, this little guy is going to make us really happy and we are going to work hard to make him really happy."
    Clarissa nods, "I know you will. It's just this moment. Like, how do I do this? I'm supposed to say goodbye. But how am I supposed to say goodbye to him? What am I supposed to do?"
    Bridget looks at Clarissa, "You say whatever you need to say right now."
    Clarissa looks at Adam, "I love you. And I'm so glad that I got to give birth to you and I hope that I can finally do something right by giving you the parents you deserve."
    Bridget wipes the tears from her eyes.
    She reaches out and holds Clarissa's hand.



    Fraternity House:


    Zach walks back into the room.
    He is holding Marti's jacket.
    Marti gets off her cell phone.
    He looks at her, "Hey. What's up?"
    She turns around and appears upset.
    He shakes his head, "What's going on?"
    Marti sighs, "My Mom just called me. And she doesn't want me living in Springfield anymore."
    Zach scoffs, "What?"
    Marti sighs, "Apparently she heard about the drama between us and Leah. And after hearing about your reputation she decides it's time to get me out of Springfield before I screw things up again."
    Zach stares, "She can't do that!"
    Marti sighs, "She's my mother! She can do whatever she wants."
    He sighs, "But you said you can't live with her in Tulsa. You accused that guy of forcing himself on you and his family will sue you if you go back."
    Marti shakes her head, "She has worked other arrangements out."
    He stares, "What about us? What about school?"
    She sighs, "Bridget is married to my cousin Dylan. She's principal so my family got some strings pulled so I can take my finals early and get my grades ready to transfer."
    Zach stares, "How soon are you supposed to leave?"
    Marti sighs, "I'm supposed to spend Thanksgiving with her. And then she's sending me to live with another cousin until she can get arrangements to move me elsewhere."
    He shakes his head, "This can't be happening."
    Marti sighs, "I finally get used to Springfield and now she wants to rip me away again."
    Zach holds her hand, "Then don't do it. Don't let her control you."
    Marti sighs, "What am I supposed to do? I'm 16."
    Zach looks at her, "Maybe... you can get emancipated, and move in with me."
    Marti stares at Zach.



    Cedars:


    J is walking down the hall after seeing a patient.
    Michelle walks up to him, "Dr. Chamberlain."
    J nods, "Dr. Bauer."
    Michelle sighs, "I was hoping we could discuss some of the rumblings going on around Cedars lately that concern the two of us and our one lunch meeting."
    He nods, "I love it when you talk dirty."
    She shakes her head, "It isn't funny."
    He nods, "I think so. But I have a sense of humor."
    She sighs, "All of the interns won't shut up about us. I thought they were still obsessed with Ashlee's serenade last month from that Dalton guy."
    J shakes his head, "We're two very attractive doctors. We are both single. We don't get a long very much. And we spent some time together. Can you blame them?"
    Michelle sighs, "Well first off my father, my brother, my cousin, my uncle and a million other people I'm very close with work in this hospital."
    He looks at her, "Well you don't have to worry about people thinking you're dating them I suppose. But you never know in Springfield."
    She looks at him, "Also. I have a teenage son and a daughter who is in middle school. There father died a few years ago. Then I thought I found love again and went to marry my childhood friend Bill, who left me at the alter to go rescue his ex wife from being deported. I tried to control my feelings for Jesse but that backfired. I'm not bringing another man into my children's lives."
    J sighs, "I'm not trying to date you Michelle."
    She nods, "But the more time we spend together the more the rumors will circulate."
    J looks at her, "And if we are avoiding each other the rumors will get worse."
    She shakes her head, "Well I'm sorry I don't know what to do right now."
    He looks at her, "Well I think you're reading to much into this. We're doctors. Our personal lives need to be left at the doors of this hospital."
    Michelle nods, "I know that."
    J sighs, "Do you? Because from where I'm standing it doesn't seem like it."
    J walks away.



    Bauer Garage Apartment:


    Roxie looks at Johnny and Ashlee.
    Ashlee stares, "Are you serious?"
    Roxie nods, "Yes. I know this sounds crazy and spur of the moment. But I feel like this is something I need to do in my life. I really need this."
    Johnny sighs, "I wasn't trying to guilt you into doing anything."
    Roxie nods, "I know. This is my decision."
    Ashlee shakes her head, "It's an incredible opportunity Roxie, and it's really selfless of you to volunteer but it's not easy work."
    Roxie nods, "I know. I know this seems like another crazy idea of mine. But I really feel like I need to be helping people at this time in my life."
    Johnny looks at her, "What do you want to do?"
    She sighs, "I don't know. Carry water, make food, teach things, I'll do whatever I'm qualified to do over there. I'm healthy and I'm in good shape."
    Ashlee looks at her, "Are you serious right now?"
    Roxie nods, "Yes. I am."
    Ashlee and Johnny look at each other.
    Roxie walks over to her, "I love you. And I know I have a weird way of showing it sometimes. But it's because I have a lot of issues in my heart. And this will help me."
    Ashlee sighs, "You're not doing this to impress me?"
    Roxie shakes her head, "No. This is for me."
    Ashlee smiles, "I'm really proud of you."
    Ashlee hugs her.
    Johnny looks at Roxie, "You think you could handle being stuck with me?"
    Roxie sighs, "I need to work out my issues with you too."
    Johnny nods.
    Roxie looks at them, "I have a lot of things that I need closure on. And this is my way of doing it. It's time that I let go of the past and moved on with my life."
    Ashlee grins, "That sounds perfect."
    Roxie, Ashlee and Johnny hug.



    Cross Creek:


    Ava sits on the couch.
    Shayne walks over to her, "You okay?"
    She sighs, "Yeah. I'm fine."
    He stares, "This whole kidnapping thing has us all upset. But now that Annie has been arrested it's closer to being over and wrapped up."
    She shakes her head, "It's not that. Well not all that."
    He nods, "Then what is it?"
    Ava sighs, "The holidays are always tough. Every Thanksgiving or Christmas that I spend with HB a part from me. It's never easy for me."
    Shayne nods, "I'm sorry."
    She sighs, "I brought it on myself. I did so many horrible things when I was with Bill. I was just so angry and out of control all the time."
    He sighs, "But you got help in Ravenwood."
    She nods, "I got help from you."
    Shayne smiles, "You're a strong woman."
    Ava shakes her head, "I don't know about that. I wasn't good enough of a mother otherwise I would still have my son with me wouldn't I?"
    Shayne looks at her, "You made mistakes when you had HB."
    She sighs, "They all could have been avoided."
    He nods, "But you weren't healthy. Now you are. Ava I've seen you grow so much in the time that I've known you. I know you're going to be a great Mom."
    She sighs, "If I ever get the chance."
    Ava holds a picture of Baby HB.
    It's been years since she last saw him.
    Shayne puts his arm around her.



    Police Station:


    Annie sits in her cell.
    She looks up at the ceiling.
    She continues tapping her feet.
    Annie's face remains blank.
    One of the guards hollers, "Dutton, you got a visitor!"
    Annie sits up.
    Marah walks in.
    Annie stares, "Hello Marah."
    Marah smirks, "I bet you didn't think I'd have the guts to show my face here did you?"
    Annie nods, "I knew you would. You may be surprised to hear this but I know you a lot better than you think I do. Don't forget that."
    Marah laughs, "You weren't prepared for this."
    Annie nods, "You're right. I underestimated you. I thought you had more heart like your father. But I was clearly wrong about that one."
    Marah stares, "You think I'm more like you?"
    Annie sighs, "For your sake I hope so. Because you're going to need to be to face what I have coming for you."
    Marah shakes her head, "I'm not worried."
    Annie grins, "You should be."
    Marah stares, "You're pretty confident for a woman behind bars. There is a not a doubt in anyone's mind that you are responsible for Ava's kidnapping."
    Annie nods, "But I know the truth."
    Marah shakes her head, "You haven't sold me out yet."
    Annie nods, "I'm aware."
    Marah stares, "Why not? Why haven't I been questioned?"
    Annie laughs, "Oh Marah. I have you right where I want you."
    Annie and Marah stare at each other.

    PART TWO:


    Reva Bend:


    Roxie sits in Reva's living room with her.
    Reva looks at her, "You're serious about this?"
    Roxie nods, "Yeah."
    Reva stares.
    Roxie sighs, "I know this is all happening really fast. But I need to do this for myself. It's important to me that I make my life mean something."
    Reva sighs, "You can't do that in Springfield?"
    Roxie looks at her, "Reva."
    Reva shakes her head, "I love charity work. I do a lot for my cancer charities and it is one of the most fulfilling experiences I have in my life."
    Roxie sighs, "And that's you're thing, and I am so happy that you found it. But I need to find something for me, something that gives me meaning."
    Reva nods, "I guess I can understand that."
    Roxie holds her hand, "I'm going to miss you."
    Reva has tears in her eyes, "Cassie left for San Cristobal. Now you're leaving the country too. What am I supposed to do without my little sisters?"
    Roxie grins, "You have Noah. 3 of your four kids are living in Springfield right now. You've got a lot of great things for you in Springfield."
    Reva smiles, "I know."
    Roxie sighs, "What do you think Mama would say?"
    Reva grins, "She'd tell me to suck it up. My sister is doing something amazing and I should be proud of her. She'd do the same for me."
    Roxie smiles, "That sounds like Mama.
    Reva smiles, "I'm always going to be your big sister so you need to check in with me, a lot. And when you get back we are going to set up a sister date with you me and Cassie. No buts."
    Roxie grins, "That would be great."
    Reva grins, "I love you."
    Roxie nods, "I love you too."
    The two sisters hug.

    Cedars:
    J is reading some files.
    Michelle walks over, "Hey."
    He nods, "Dr. Bauer."
    She sighs, "I'm sorry that I was being rude. I know you didn't start the rumors or anything so I shouldn't be blaming you. I'm over reacting anyway."
    He nods, "I know you are."
    She looks at him, "I'm trying to apologize."
    He sighs, "I know."
    She shakes her head, "I'll chalk it up to holiday stress. I've got a lot do for Thanksgiving this year. But I'm sure you know what that's like."
    He shakes his head, "Not really."
    She stares, "What are you doing for Thanksgiving?"
    He shakes his head, "Working mostly. Then probably going to a bar or something."
    She stares, "What about your family?"
    He sighs, "I'm fine."
    She looks at him, "But it's Thanksgiving."
    He looks at her, "It's a silly holiday that people use as an excuse to over eat and be completely lazy. It's a joke of a day in my opinion."
    She smiles, "But it's also a great time for bonding and being grateful."
    He sighs, "You really buy into that?"
    She nods, "I do."
    He turns away, "You're call."
    She sighs, "I know you'll probably laugh at this proposal. But why don't you come over to my family's house for Thanksgiving. It would be really fun."
    He looks at her, "Seriously?"
    She nods, "Just think about it. The offer is on the table. You're a friend of the family."
    Michelle walks away.
    J stares at her.

    Fraternity House:
    Marti sits with Zach.
    Zach looks at her, "What do you think?"
    She sighs, "I can't give up on my life."
    He sighs, "So you're giving up on us?"
    She shakes her head, "It's not like that!"
    He gets up, "What are we supposed to do?"
    She stares, "We can try to make the long distance thing work. But my Mom doesn't want me to have a boyfriend after what happened so it would have to be a secret."
    Zach turns away, "Great."
    Marti stares, "What was your plan? I run away from home?"
    He sighs, "You could get emancipated and then... maybe we could get married."
    She scoffs, "Married? We've been dating for a month."
    He nods, "I know. Not married for real. But I could get my trust fund early if I am married."
    She shakes her head, "No."
    He scoffs, "So what? You just leave me now?"
    She cries, "What choice do I have Zach?"
    He looks at her, "Where are you going anyway?"
    She nods, "I'm going to live with my cousin Mindy. She lives in New York."
    He shakes his head, "New York?"
    Marti nods, "My mom thinks this is best for me."
    Zach looks at her, "She's ruining our lives."
    Marti walks over to him, "We'll figure something out okay."
    He looks at her, "I'm not losing you."
    Marti sighs, "We should have expected that people would stop at nothing to keep a Lewis and a Spaulding from being together."
    Zach holds her hand.
    The two kiss.

    Cross Creek:
    Ava stares at the picture of Baby HB.
    Shayne still has his arm around her.
    She smiles, "Look at him."
    He nods, "He's a beautiful baby. He looks like his Mom."
    She shakes her head, "He's not a baby anymore."
    Shayne nods, "A part of me thought Bill and Olivia would have come back to Springfield eventually, once they realized it was safer now."
    Ava sighs, "I was in Ravenwood when they left. I probably scared the crap out of Bill last time I saw him. I said some horrible things."
    Shayne stares at her.
    Ava shakes her head, "I basically threatened his life if I ever saw his face again. What the hell was I thinking? Was I that crazy?"
    Shayne sighs, "You were emotionally devastated. You were locked away and you didn't understand why. You had little contact with your own son."
    Ava starts to cry, "I blew my chances at being his mother."
    Shayne looks at her, "But you're a good person now."
    Ava sighs, "Too little too late right?"
    Shayne shakes his head, "Olivia has her own issues right now. That's why Emma came back to Springfield to live for now. Maybe Bill and Olivia will come back soon."
    She looks at him, "I tell myself that everyday when I wake up. I hope that maybe today I'll walk out the door and see Bill walking up to me with my son. But so far that has never happened."
    Shayne sighs, "I'm sorry."
    Shayne holds Ava close.

    Police Station:
    Annie is inside of her cell.
    Marah stares at her from the outside.
    Annie stares, "You must feel on top of the world right now. You have everything you want. Edmund, your family, your career, power. And no one ever has to know what a bitch you really are."
    Marah shakes her head, "As long as I get what I want who cares? I spent years trying to please other people and look where it got me. I learned a lot of things from your accomplishments Annie. But I learned even more from your mistakes. So I guess I'm grateful for that."
    Annie smiles, "And I'm grateful that I know you better than you know yourself. You are nothing but a little clone of me right now. It's time someone took you down a peg."
    Marah grins, "You're so bitter and jealous. Because you know that I actually might have a shot at a happy life, something you never could achieve."
    Annie shakes her head, "I was close to having that again. But I threw it all away to help you and you stabbed me in the back Marah."
    Marah stares, "You stabbed me first."
    Annie sighs, "I love you. I was doing what was best for you."
    Marah scoffs, "You are really messed up Annie."
    Annie nods, "Maybe so. But I'm smart, you have give me that."
    Marah looks at her, "Of course."
    Annie sighs, "You may be on top of the world right now. But don't be so sure of yourself. You won that small battle Marah, but I'm going to win the war."
    Marah stares, "We're in a war now?"
    Annie nods, "You declared war the second you betrayed me."
    Marah smirks, "You want a war? Bring it on."
    Annie grins, "You know me well. So you have to be sure that this little stuff we've done, it's just the beginning. I'm coming after you Marah. And trust me, the wrath of Annie Dutton is nothing to be taken lightly. Just ask your mother."
    Marah nods, "Have a happy Thanksgiving behind bars."
    Marah walks out of the area.
    Annie smiles.

    Towers:
    Clarissa is standing with Adam.
    She and Bridget are holding him together.
    They look into each other's eyes.
    Dylan holds the bag of Adam's things.
    Clarissa looks at him, "I know the terms of our open adoption... and I know that if you two ever choose to move that you may. And whatever you decided I'm going to have to be okay with."
    Bridget nods, "I will love him like he is my own but he will always be your Baby too."
    Clarissa smiles.
    Bridget sighs, "I will make sure he understands who you are and what you have given him and what you have given all of us. He'll never forget that."
    Clarissa has tears in her eyes, "Just make sure that he always knows I love him and I could never forget him."
    Bridget nods, "Of course."
    Clarissa sighs, "And he had a lot of people who really cared about him. They will always care about him no matter what happens in the future."
    Rafe has to turn away.
    Bridget smiles, "Of course."
    Clarissa looks down, "I thought giving birth was the hard part. But this is the hardest thing I will ever have to do. I know that now."
    Bridget looks at her.
    Clarissa sighs, "Just promise me one thing, that no matter what he will always know that he is loved and that he is special. I don't want him to feel like he's less than that."
    Bridget smiles, "I will tell him every single day how special he is, how much we love him, and how amazing of a person he truly is."
    Clarissa takes a deep breath.
    Bridget stares, "You ready?"
    Clarissa nods.
    She pulls her arms out and lets Adam rest in Bridget's arms.
    Bridget holds him close.
    Dylan walks over and puts his arm around them.
    She looks at Clarissa through her tears, "Thank you."
    Clarissa nods, "You too. Goodbye Adam."
    Dylan smiles, "Bye."
    Bridget and Dylan turn and walk out the door.
    They shut it behind them.
    Clarissa stares at the door as she sobs.
    She sighs, "Tell me I did the right thing Rafe. I don't care if you believe it or not just please tell me I did the right thing."
    Rafe walks up behind her and puts his arms around her.
    She sobs, "Oh my God."
    She keeps staring at the door, a small part of her hopes they'll come back.
    But they don't.
    Clarissa cries, "I just wasn't ready."
    Clarissa sobs in Rafe's arms.

    Bauer Home:


    Ed is in the kitchen with Rick and Mel.
    Rick smiles, "Thanksgiving is probably my second favorite holiday of the year. Of course the fourth being my favorite. I wouldn't be a Bauer otherwise."

    Ed laughs, "That's my son."
    The three of them are getting the food together.
    Michelle walks in, "We aren't letting Rick eat any of the food early this year are we? It's going to be embarrassing if we don't have enough food for the guests."
    Mel shakes her head, "Not this year."
    Rick looks over, "What guests are coming this year?"
    Michelle sighs, "Well Ashlee is bringing Dalton. Leah invited James. And I told Daddy that Dr. Chamberlain was going to be joining us."
    Rick looks at her, "J's coming?"
    Mel looks, "J?"
    Michelle nods, "Yes. He's a friend of the family. And he didn't have anywhere to spend the holiday so I thought it would be nice to invite him here."
    The three of them look at each other.
    Michelle looks over, "No, don't even."
    Ed smiles, "Well I think it's great that you are being so giving on today. We all should be doing our best to give back to those who are less fortunate."
    Rick looks at him, "Dr. Chamberlain is less fortunate?"
    Mel nods, "He is single isn't he?"
    Michelle scoffs, "Oh my God. You guys are ridiculous."
    Ed laughs, "Come on honey. Nothing is going to ruin our Thanksgiving."

    Reva nods, "We're all very proud of you."

    Mallet and Dinah's House:



    Mallet and Dinah have decorated the house.
    They sit with Blake and Ross in the living room.
    Dinah looks at them, "So she already gave Adam to Dylan and Bridget?"
    Blake nods, "Yes. She didn't want us there when she actually handed him over to them. She said she needed to do it all on her own that day."
    Dinah shakes her head, "You weren't there at all?"
    Ross sighs, "Clarissa is an adult now. We are trying to respect her decisions."
    Mallet nods, "That's understandable. We are going through a lot with Belinda right now. She is doing a lot of rebelling and we are struggling on how to deal with it."
    The doorbell rings.

    Ross stares, "What's going on with Rocky and Kevin?"
    Jason sighs, "Long story."
    Blake nods, "Okay well no mentioning Adam to Clarissa."

    Edmund shakes Shayne's hand, "Happy Thanksgiving.
    Noah kisses Reva.
    Josh looks around at everyone, "I'm so happy to have all of you here. It's not as big of a Thanksgiving as we used to have especially since Marti had to leave so soon. But we are all here and we are all happy with our lives. I'm very grateful for all of you."

    Jason hugs her, "Good."
    Clarissa rolls her eyes, "I'm fine."
    On the other side of the room Ross is standing with Kevin.
    He looks at him, "So is anything new with you?"
    Kevin shakes his head, "Why?"
    Ross stares, "I was only wondering Son."
    Kevin scoffs, "Did Jason say something to you?"
    Ross shakes his head, "No, no, no. I was just making sure everything was fine with you. We haven't talked in a while."
    Blake walks over, "What's wrong?"

    Everyone looks over.
    Clarissa looks around, "I get it! Why don't we all just talk about it? I screwed up! I couldn't even handle having a son for a few months. I failed again! Happy Thanksgiving!"

    Johnny grins, "No second thoughts?"
    Roxie shakes her head, "Surprisingly no. I really thought by now I would be snapping out of it and running for the hills but I'm actually excited."
    He smiles, "I'm glad to hear that."
    She nods, "I'm anxious to get over there and do some good work."
    Ed walks over, "I heard you were joining Johnny. That's really great to hear Roxie. I know you aren't a doctor but there are a lot of things you can do to help out."
    Roxie smiles, "I sure hope so."

    Alexandra shakes her head, "He doesn't really deserve special treatment after all of the strings he has pulled over the years. I'm sorry to say."
    Natalia nods, "I know Alan has done some really bad things in the past. He is paying for them now. He is the love of my life he's still the father of my son and the grandfather of my other son."
    Alex laughs, "Only in Springfield could that not sound ridiculous."
    Natalia sighs, "And he is still your brother, and I know you love him. If you didn't then you wouldn't be asking me about him now would you?"
    Alex sighs, "You're a better woman than I am Natalia."
    Natalia shakes her head, "No. We all have made our mistakes. We just need to remember that when it comes to other people, especially the people we love."
    Gus walks inside.
    He looks around.
    Harley approaches him, "Hey! I was hoping you'd get here before me. Unfortunately that did not happen and I got stuck being the awkward one in the room."
    Gus smiles, "Well no longer. I am here."
    Harley laughs.
    Gus grins, "But seriously it's really good to see you here."
    The two smile at each other.
    Across the room Zach walks over to Phillip.
    Zach sighs, "Dad."
    Phillip looks at him, "Hey Son."
    Zach nods, "I need your help."
    Phillip stares, "With what? Everything okay at school?"
    Zach sighs, "It's fine, who cares? Marti's mom is trying to make her move. She thinks I'm a bad influencer on her. I need you to help me keep her in Springfield."

    She walks over to Peter and Stephanie.
    She smiles, "Hey guys. How is my new baby brother?"

    Peter walks away.
    Stephanie looks at Susan, "I am screwed."
    Susan shakes her head, "What's wrong now?"
    Stephanie sighs, "Peter is ready to be official... and I haven't officially told him that I'm pregnant, with another man's baby."
    Susan and Stephanie stare at each other.
    Bridget and Dylan are sitting with Baby Adam.
    Peter looks at them, "It's nice to see you guys with a baby."

    All of the Reardon's smile at each other.
    The door opens.
    Matt turns around, "We're... Oh my God!"
    Everyone turns and looks.
    Nola and Quint Chamberlain come walking in.

    Bauer Home:
    Ashlee is talking with Johnny and Roxie.
    Ashlee smiles, "I can't believe you're both about to leave."
    Roxie nods, "You sure that you're okay with this?"
    Ashlee nods, "Of course. I mean you two have really changed my life this year. I started out having a mother who was in prison and that I always had a complicated relationship with. But now I have two more very interesting parents. I know it's been complicated but I am really happy now."
    Roxie grins, "Even with me?"
    Ashlee laughs, "Yeah. You're pretty cool Roxie."

    Michelle laughs, "Well we are pretty well known for homemade pies around here."
    J laughs, "I'm sorry."
    She shakes her head, "No. Trust me it will get eaten around here."
    He nods, "Great then I don't feel like a total failure."
    Michelle smiles.
    J walks inside with her.

    She sighs, "Yeah. The kiss was great."
    He stares, "What's wrong?"
    She sighs, "I have two kids. Robbie and Hope... they can't deal with another romance in my life right now. They need more stability than that."
    J sighs, "Okay. So what does this mean?"
    Michelle looks at him, "It means I need to think about things before I make a decision about... us."
    J nods, "Fair enough."
    She shakes her head, "I just can't let my kids know about this yet."

    Ava nods, "I'm good at hiding my little baby bump."
    Reva stares, "I don't know what to say."
    Josh looks at them, "Do you know the sex yet?"
    Ava shakes her head, "We want it to be a surprise."

    Ross looks at her, "This isn't your fault."
    She looks at him, "Kevin always has had anger problems. I just imagined he would out grow them. I never thought he'd still be dealing with things the way he does."
    Ross nods, "It was rough seeing him so angry. Seeing all of the anger and hate he has inside of him. It's not good for him. It's terrible."
    Blake sighs, "He reminded me of..."
    Ross looks at her, "I know. I know."
    She leans on Ross.
    He puts his arm around her, "It kills me to see how much pain he must be feeling inside."

    The shop owner stares in confusion, "Yeah..."
    Kevin nods, "Yeah. So here."
    The shop owner looks through his stuff, "I keep the shop open on holidays. I got no where to be. And on Christmas there are always people wanting last minute dough for gifts."
    Kevin nods, "Yep, yep, yep, yep."
    The shop owner stares at him more.
    He begins to look more through Kevin's stuff, "Seems like a lot of stuff here. You in trouble with the law or something?"
    Kevin stares, "No."
    He sighs, "This stolen?"
    Kevin scoffs, "No! I don't want any of it. I don't have room for it. I'm living in my car right now and I need to make room for stuff anyway."

    Beth sighs, "This is not a good idea."
    Liz stares, "How would you know?"
    Beth sighs, "You are going through a lot. This has been a really tough year for you. The last thing you need is a bunch of cameras taping your every move."
    Liz looks at her parents, "Listen. I am happy that you two are happy. You guys finally found a way to make it work and that's great. But now I need to make myself happy."
    Phillip sighs, "You are going about it the wrong way."
    Alexandra walks over, "Lizzie."
    Liz smiles, "Yes Aunt Alex."
    Alex smiles, "Why are there camera men in jeans and tennis shoes walking on my carpet and trying to get me to wear a microphone pack?"
    Liz nods, "So you can be a part of my show!"
    Alex looks at her, "We are not social climbers or media chasers Lizzie. We are Spauldings. The public follows us, not the other way around."
    Liz looks at her, "This is the way things are now!"
    Alexandra shakes her head, "Not for our family."
    Liz looks around at all of the disgruntled Spauldings.

    Marah and Edmund are having a meal together in Edmund's room.
    Marah sits at the table.
    Edmund is on the phone in the next room.
    He walks back in with a smile on his face.
    He grins, "Yes. Yes of course. I'm so happy you shared this with me... I know I wish we could have been there too but Marah is feeling under the weather."
    Marah rolls her eyes.
    Edmund nods, "I love you. Bye."
    Marah stares, "Bad news?"
    He laughs, "Very funny. It actually is amazing news."
    Marah stares.
    He sits, "Ava is pregnant."
    Marah stares, "Pregnant? With Shayne's baby? God how revolting."
    He nods, "I'm not too thrilled about my second grandchild being a Lewis as well. But I could not be more happy for Ava and for myself of course."
    Marah stares, "Let's see. My cousin Bill has his daughter Emma with Olivia. His son HB with Olivia's daughter Ava. Ava has another baby on the way with my brother Shayne. And her father, you, is sleeping with me."
    He nods, "Delightful little recap. But we are more than that aren't we?"
    Marah looks at him, "What do you want from me Edmund?"
    He looks at her, "Everything and more."
    Marah is confused.
    Edmund pulls out a small box.
    She shakes her head, "What?"
    He opens it and reveals the beautiful engagement ring.
    Marah stares, "Why?"
    He grins, "Come on. Just put it on Marah. Consider yourself lucky going from Lewis to Winslow."
    She shakes her head, "I'm never changing my last name."
    He stares, "We'll see about that."
    She holds her hand out.
    He slips the ring on her finger.
    He grins, "The Lewis family has no idea the storm I have brewing right now."
    A nervous Marah looks down at the ring on her finger.

    He nods, "It's amazing. I'm going to be a grandfather. I feel like... I don't know. I don't know what I'm feeling but it feels amazing."
    Reva smiles, "I think Shayne is going to be a great Daddy just like you."
    Josh looks at her, "I was really nervous Reva. I mean I didn't want to tell anyone but I was feeling like I didn't have any fight left in me."
    Reva nods, "And now?"
    He grins, "I feel like I just got a kick start of energy."
    Reva puts her arm around him, "Good to hear."
    Billy looks over, "Hey you two. Share it with the gang."
    Josh stands up.
    Everyone looks over.
    Josh sighs, "This has been a tough year. But not a bad year."
    Everyone looks confused.
    He smiles, "You see, it's never a bad year because we don't let it be a bad year. We started this year fearing Reva was not going to make it. But she beat her disease. Ava was kidnapped but my brilliant son found her and the two were reunited. I have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. And another person might be ready to throw in the towel. But I'm a Lewis, we all are. And we are fighters. I'm confident that we will be able to handle anything that the future throws us. And no matter what we will get through it together. Merry Christmas."
    Everyone smiles, "Merry Christmas."
    Shayne hugs his fiance Ava.
    Reva kisses Noah.

    Phillip looks at him, "Knock it off."
    Zach looks at the producer, "I'm Zach Spaulding. Future CEO of Spaulding Enterprises. Aspiring socialite. My ex girlfriend left me for my own brother-"
    Phillip pulls Liz aside, "What is all this about?"
    Liz stares, "I told you!"
    Phillip shakes his head, "Lizzie you are going to regret letting the world into your personal life."
    Liz shakes her head, "I've always wanted to be the center of attention. I want all eyes on me. Now I'm finally making my dreams come true."
    Beth stares, "That's not who you are anymore."
    Liz stares, "It is now. I am Elizabeth Spaulding."
    The family continues arguing.
    Alexandra walks over, "Okay that is enough everyone! Enough!"
    Everyone gets quiet.
    All eyes are on Alexandra.
    Alex sighs, "Now Lizzie. I think this is a horrible idea. And you will never convince me otherwise. And I'm sure I will never get you to see the truth. Just like I can never seem to get any of you to see the horrible decisions you make. No one can learn from my mistakes. That's fine. But for the rest of the day we are going to put everything aside and be a normal family. The normal Spaulding family. Understood?"
    Everyone nods and agrees.
    Alexandra clears her throat, "Now if everyone will join me in the dining room?"
    Alexandra walks to the dining room.
    The rest of the family follows.

    Stephanie helps Susan with the baby.
    Susan sighs, "Babies are scary."
    Stephanie shakes her head, "No. Babies are wonderful. The represent life and new beginnings, change. All of the things I could really use right now."
    Susan nods, "So you think a baby can theoretically change the world?"
    Stephanie laughs, "Maybe."
    Susan looks at her, "I guess we'll find out."
    Peter walks over and puts his arms around Stephanie, "You two enjoying my little brother?"
    She laughs, "You mean mine?"
    Stephanie nods, "Well when I have my baby you can both fight over it too."
    The three all smile at each other.
    Across the room.
    Bridget sits with Dylan.
    Dylan looks at her, "You okay?"
    Bridget sighs, "Just worried about my son."
    Dylan stares, "Susan is nervous but she's not going to drop him or anything."
    Bridget shakes her head, "Not that son."
    Dylan looks over at Peter, "He looks happy to me."
    Bridget sighs, "That makes it more scary. Because it will be that much harder when he gets his heart broken. He will lose a the woman he loves and a baby he falls for."
    Dylan holds her hand, "Well we'll just have to be there to catch him."
    Bridget leans on Dylan.
    Matt starts handing out gifts to everyone.

    Mallet and Dinah's House:
    Everyone stares at Mallet and Dinah.
    Mallet is down on one knee.
    Dinah stare, "Mallet..."
    He smiles, "I love you. And I'm sorry that we wasted so much time not being together. I want to marry you again Dinah. This time for good."
    Dinah stares, "I thought we said we didn't need to be married to be happy."
    He nods, "I know. We don't. But if we can have it all then why not?"
    Dinah wipes tears from her eyes.
    He grins, "I should make it official. Dinah Marler will you marry me?"

    Everyone claps.
    Ross walks over, "Congratulations you two."

    Ross grins, "I know."
    Dinah smiles, "You gonna be there to walk me down the aisle this time?"
    Ross grins, "I would be honored."
    Blake hugs Mallet.
    The whole family circles around.

    Mel walks over, "Hey."
    She looks at her, "Hello Sweetheart."

  21. JAYJAY
    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.

    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.

    Belinda looks at him, "It's so sweet of you to walk me to the door."
    He sighs, "Actually is it okay if I come in?"
    She stares, "Okay... sure."
    She can tell he's acting weird.
    Belinda opens the door.
    The two walk inside.

    Dinah and Mallet are sitting in the living room.
    Belinda looks at them, "What's up?"
    Mallet stands, "Hey. Can we talk now?"
    She shakes her head, "What's going on? Where's Anthony?"
    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.



    Cross Creek:


    Bill is in the living room.
    There is a knock at the door.

    Phillip stands outside, "Is she here?"
    Bill scoffs, "Hello to you too."
    Phillip sighs, "Cut the crap Bill. Just tell me where she is."
    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.
    He listens as it keeps ringing.
    He gets frustrated when it goes to voicemail.
    He hangs up.

    Phillip looks at him, "Who are her friends now?"
    Bill sighs, "I don't know!"
    Phillip scoffs, "You don't know?"
    Bill nods, "You don't know either!"
    Phillip nods, "I have 5 kids and she's the most distant. I can't watch her 24/7."
    Bill looks around, "I'm going to find her."
    Bill heads for the door.
    Phillip follows, "I'm coming with you."
    The two fathers head out the door.

    Baby Clay is in the back seat.
    Liz smiles at him through the mirror, "Look at my big boy, with a big smile on his face. Do you know who you look like? Do you know?"
    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."
    Liz's hears Baby Clay start to cry.
    She looks at him, "It's okay Baby.... not you."
    She drops her phone in her lap.
    Liz reaches down.
    She yells into it, "I'll call you later."
    Liz hangs up and focuses back on the road.
    She sighs, "Sorry Baby. I gotta figure out where we are...."
    Liz looks at the road ahead of her.
    She has flashbacks as she recognizes it.
    Remy kisses her, "Buckle up."
    He sticks his head and arms through the partition.
    The driver turns, "What do you think you're doing?"
    Remy pulls out his badge, "I'm a cop! Pull over now!"
    The driver speeds up.
    Remy grabs the driver by the collar, "No! I will not let Alan Spaulding hurt any more of the people I love. Not Liz, not Clay, not Mel, no one!"
    Liz cries, "Stop!!!"
    Down the road a taxi is coming towards them.
    The limo is swerving all over the road.
    The driver sees the taxi coming towards them.
    He swerves out of the way and goes off the road.
    Liz screams.
    Liz's eyes fill with tears and her heart races.
    She begins to lose control of the car.
    Liz screams, "Oh no, oh no!"
    Baby Clay cries louder.
    Liz's car swerves off the road.



    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.



    Bauer Home:

    Ashlee opens the door.

    Coop stands there, "Can I come in?"
    Ashlee nods, "Of course."
    Coop walks inside, "I'm sorry I just didn't know who else to talk to right now. You've always been one of my best friends. And I need someone."
    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?"

    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.

    Life changing moments happen in Springfield...



















    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.




    Cedars:
    Spencer is rushed into the ER with the EMTs.
    Bill, Phillip and Robbie follow in.
    Michelle runs over, "Oh my God! Emma? What happened?"

    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."

    He stands up, "No actually."
    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."

    Cop cars and an ambulance park next to them.
    EMT's rush out.
    David Grant hurries over, "Hey. I heard what happened. What's going on?"

    Blake looks down, "This isn't right is it?"
    He sighs, "It feels right..."
    She nods, "But?"
    He looks at her, "Not like this. Not while we're emotional and worried about our son. We need to focus on Kevin and the rest of our family before we do anything."
    She nods, "Who knows if we'll really do anything?"
    He sighs, "You're right."

    Annie smiles, "Looks like I'll have some company."
    Aubrey nods, "For a while anyway."
    Annie grins, "You're the one who kidnapped Sarah Randall, faked a pregnancy, stole Marina Cooper's baby, shot Lizzie Spaulding, went on the run."

    - Cassie: The character was totally changed with the actress without explaination which was unnessesary. I decided that later I will write in an explaination that will actually admit to the fact that Cassie hasn't been the same person these past two years.

    CASTING
    - Dylan Lewis: Morgan Englund is once again in the role.
    - Susan Lemay: Kirsten Storms is in the role but could be recast.
    - Marah Lewis: Natalia Livingston has taken over the role.

    CHILDREN

    - Rafe and Daisy: I never liked them and felt that the de-aging of Susan was hurting the history. She has been aged back, now she has been in college while Rafe stayed to finish HS. (He is still a little younger, but not much) He won't be shown much, but he may be used in the future teen SL's.

    - The Kids: They are going to remain at the same age for now, with the exception of Leah who is now 3. Though by the end of the year, these children will be aged a few years, it will be nothing drastic and history will be checked so that ages make sense.

    HOMES AND BUILDINGS

    - Houses: Many will be brought back such as the house that was owned by Matt&Vanessa then Josh&Reva.

    - The Beacon: I know that too many people have lived at the beacon, but it is still a good place for certain characters such as young couples and bachelors/bachleorettes. But not everyone will have a room now.

    - Any Confusion: I am still working out the living arraingments but by the end of the year I hope to have that settled and a more organized idea.



    Since I am writing for you all, I decided to do something that the actual show should do (in my opinion). I am going to ask your opinion not only on the current state, but the future of the story. I will be asking questions about Story Lines, Couples, Casting, and many of the things that I listed above. I'll start posting my questions soon. So please let me know what you think.

    Outside:

    Remy and Blake lie in grass after their passionate sex, "Oh Remy that was..."
    Remy laughs, "I know."
    She turns over and kisses his chest, "So what now?"
    Remy stares at the sky, "I don't know."
    "She rest his head on his chest, "Maybe we should just see how things go."
    She looks into his eyes and the two kiss.

    "Yeah you too."
    Coop laughs, "What are you doing here?!?!"
    "Oh I wanted to see you guys find out how everyone was."

    Phillip goes to say something. He is interupted by Harley's voice, "Rick?!?!"
    Phillip hides.
    Harley comes over, "Rick, Rick!"
    Rick grabs her shoulder, "Calm down what is going on?"
    "Julie. Julie Camaletti. She's been shot!" Harley drags Rick away.
    Phillip steps over to Beth and Mindy, "Wow. It's weird seeing her."
    Mindy rubs his back.
    Beth stands up, "So much has happened."
    "I know."
    Beth isn't happy, "So you know about Lizzie."
    "Yeah I saw that on the news."
    "We had a Granddaughter for a couple of months."
    "Little Sarah."
    Beth crosses her arms, "So you know. You know about Sarah and Jonathan and... Tammy."
    Phillip sits down and looks up at Beth, "Is it true. About Alan and Tammy?"
    Beth hesitates, "Yes."
    Phillip looks at the ground.
    Beth stares down at him, "You could have stopped it!"
    Mindy steps between them, "Beth that's enough."

    Bill's Car:

    Bill is driving Ava home. Ava smiles, "It was a nice wedding."
    "Yes it was."
    Ava turns off the radio, "Bill are we going to talk about it?"
    "Ava are you sure?"
    "Yes Bill!"
    Bill sighs, "Not now. Why now?"
    "Oh I'm sorry if the life growing inside of me is a problem for you Bill!!!"
    Bill tries to calm her down.

    They here the sirens and see the ambulence.
    They run to the car.
    Rocky, Ashlee and Coop walk out after being questioned.
    Rocky goes to leave.
    Coop stops him, "Hey. Where are you going? You're staying at Company."

    Rick nods, "We need to hide him."
    Mindy worries, "I have no where."
    Beth has an idea, "What about the Beacon."
    Rick jokes, "Honey everyone lives at the Beacon." He smiles at Phillip, "Why don't you stay with us."
    Phillip smiles, "Really?"
    Mindy laughs.
    Beth looks at her, "We'll need you too."
    Mindy looks around, "Even after.."
    Beth stops her, "Yes."
