JAYJAY

Coop and Ashlee are one of my favorite couples. But I need to make room. I made this decision at the beginning of the year. But it's not for good. Ashlee and Coop are going to be on almost every episode this month so you'll read a lot about them. I really need to clear out space. And I think you'll like the way I write them out. But as I said it's not for good. I have a big story waiting for when they return. And they are part of the Cooper family so they can't stay gone for too long. I have several other less popular characters exiting.

Yep a lot going on. Thanks ML! And as for the 50 characters. Well check out next Wed. I'll be announcing the many cast cuts that I have coming up.

I agree. Blake has three kids that aren't very young. And I have enough pregnancies and children in the blog already. But Remy might be interested in children in the future. Which would be a roadblock for them.

Thanks ML! I'll keep the "she" thing in mind. I'm usually better about that. I just checked it out and realized it. Danny and Michelle were very popular on GL. They were the ex Mobster adn the Good Girl. I'm glad you like David Grant. I'm actually currently giving him a romantic interested that you should see later in the month. Thanks Matt! I'm glad you like the Alan/Natalia/Gus Triangle. Be sure to keep reading this month because there are some BIG moments with this SL.

Oh yes Classic Blake! I love writing for her. I hope you enjoy the pairing with Remy. They are surprisingly more popular with the readers then I expected.

Yep Ava has got a LOT coming up! I'm glad you liked the dinner with the Boudreau family. They are the over achievers of Springfield and Remy is somewhat the Blacksheep. No pun intended.

This blog is really great. I'm liking a lot of the characters. I enjoyed the Blake and Lana scenes. The personalities really come through. And there seems like there are a lot friendships and relationships to get interested in.

It's the 4th of July and Springfield is celebrating at the Bauer Home......... Bauer Home: Michelle runs over and hugs her father, "Dad! Your here!" Ed smiles, "Yes Sweetheart. I'm home." Rick comes over and hugs his father, "Welcome back Dad." Ed looks at his Son, "Oh how I've missed you." Michelle laughs, "You didn't tell me you were coming." Ed nods, "Well Robbie and Hope went to camp so I thought I'd follow you up here. Just in time for the BBQ." The three continue to hug. Inside the kitchen Marah and Jeffrey sit at the counter. Jeffrey kisses Marah, "This Summer just keeps getting better and better." Marah smiles, "Yeah well I have that effect on peoples lives." He shakes his head, "How did I get so lucky to have you in my life?" She grins, "I was wondering the same thing." The two kiss again. Cedars: Bill and Olivia are in the waiting room. Sam comes over, "Hey Liv." She runs over and hugs him, "Oh Sam! She still hasn't woke up. I don't know what to do." Bill stands up, "Sam where is Emma?" Sam remembers, "Oh yeah Mel took her to the Bauer BBQ with Leah." Olivia sighs, "I didn't even notice the date." Sam rubs her back, "Ava is going to be okay. I know she will." Bill and Olivia are still dealing with the guilt of what they did. Bauer Home: Rick is making a plate of food. Mindy walks over, "Hi Rick." He sighs, "Hello Mindy." She apoligizes, "Rick I am so sorry about what happened. I just knew you wouldn't believe it if it came out of my mouth." Rick looks at her, "Why Mindy? Why did you think I should know about this?" She gets upset, "Rick I care about you. I care about you very much." He scoffs, "So that's why you had my heart ripped out?" She cries, "Rick I'm sorry." He shakes his head, "Forget it. It's the Bauer BBQ. My Father and Sister are here. I'm happy. Today will be a day about family and friends." Rick invites Mindy to sit next to him. Beach: Marina and Danny sit on a blanket. He rubs her back, "I'm so sorry." She shakes her head, "I was being stupid." Danny sighs, "Things got pretty intense." She turns to him, "Oh I'm sure you just LOVED having two women fight over you." He laughs, "Well it was something. But you know where my heart is and now so does Michelle." Marina sighs, "Danny I have to be sure. I need to be 100% sure that you are over Michelle. I can't do this again I can't be your rebound." He kisses her, "You are not my rebound." She smiles at him. Bauer Home: Ed is flipping burgers. Everyone is happy to see him. Many people have their eyes on the hot tub where Remy and Blake are making out. Remy whispers, "Everyone is staring." She laughs, "Well we are the only people in here. I guess we scared everyone else away." He smiles, "Well I am just happy that we don't have to hide anymore." She kisses him, "Oh Remy, things are finally going right in my life. Kevin and Jason have graduated, Clarissa's been good, I've got this new job, and I have the hottest guy in Springfield." Remy kisses her. He still can't get the thoughts about Ross out of his head. PART TWO: Bauer Home: Marah is sneaks away into the Bauer Livingroom. She makes a phone call, "Yes I need to order plane tickets. To San Cristobal. Soon very soon." Outside Mindy walks over to Jeffrey, "Hey Jeffrey. I was just wondering if you heard anything about Ava." Jeffrey is confused, "What are you talking about?" Mindy looks at him strangley, "How is Ava? Bill told me she was in the hospital. Something was wrong with the baby." Jeffrey drops everything and leaves. Beach: Danny and Marina walk along the lake. She smiles at him, "Regardless of the whole Michelle thing.... this has been a pretty good day." Danny holds her hand, "Really? I was afraid the whole thing was ruined." She shakes her head, "No. I mean I'll admit it wasn't fun. But Danny this could have been horrible. I mean my life was just falling apart and then.... you came back into it." He looks into her eyes, "I love you Marina." She smiles, "I love you too Danny." Bauer Home: Blake walks into the kitchen. Kevin is sitting at the counter, "Having fun Mom?" She smiles, "Yes I am." He shakes his head, "So this thing with Remy is serious?" She nods, "Yes I like Remy. I haven't been this happy since..." He finishes her sentence, "Since Dad?" She sighs, "Yes. I miss your father and no one will take his place. Ross was the love of my life. And I will never forget that. Do you hate that I'm with Remy?" Kevin sighs, "Mom I don't hate it. I just wish you had been honest. And picked someone close to your age then mine. But I'm okay. I think Jason will be a little more ticked." She smiles, "How did you get to be such a great man? You must get that from your father." Blake hugs her son. Cedars: Jeffrey comes in, "Where's Ava?" Olivia rolls her eyes, "Nice of you to show up. What did you find time to quit screwing Marah Lewis so you could come see your daughter who nearly died!" Bill walks over, "O'Neill where have you been?" Jeffrey shakes his head, "I had no idea. Ava hadn't called me in weeks. I thought maybe she needed space." Bill shakes his head, "Well actually Ava has been trying to contact you for a while. She misses you. And I called your room the night this happened. I left a message for you." Jeffrey is upset, "I never got that." Olivia mumbles, "Marah." Jeffrey looks over, "What?" Olivia looks at him, "Marah never told you. Marah was the one that found her adn brought her here." Jeffrey grows suspicious. Company: Sam is getting some food to take back to the hospital he bumps into Stephanie Grant, "Hi. I'm Stephanie." He shakes her hand, "I'm Sam Spencer." She notices all of the food, "Let me give you a hand. I'm on my way back to the hospital too." He grins, "How did you know where I was going?" She picks up a bag, "I saw you over there. My father is Chief of Staff so I spend a lot of time there. Are you related to Mrs. Lewis?" He nods, "Ava? Yeah she's my niece." She smiles, "Well it's very sweet of you to be there for your family." He thanks her and the two walk back to Cedars. Bauer Home: Ed is raising the flag. He makes his speech, "Today is the day that I return home. I return to Springfield. A town full of different people who all share one thing. We all have goals and ambition. We have hopes and dreams. We look for our light, we strive to get there. That is really what our lives are all about in Springfield. Today I will recite the poem that I'm sure we've all heard. The poem that has been read at every holiday event in Springfield because it is a reminder of what really matters. It goes like this: There is a Destiny that makes us brothers. None goes his way alone. All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own." Everyone applauds and then looks to the sky to see the fireworks. Everyone in Springfield looks outside to see the sky filled with lights and for one brief moment everyone is okay. PREVIEWS: Josh flirts with Reva Ava wakes up!

Thanks! I always found that interesting too. I'm glad you liked part 1 of the Bauer BBQ. I haven't heard a lot of great things about the one coming up on GL.

It's Independence Day in Springfield and almost everyone is at the annual Bauer Barbecue....... Bauer Home: Rick is getting the grill ready. Michelle runs over, "Hey! I got the buns! I see the cars parking so this place should be packed soon." Rick smiles, "Ah a good Bauer Barbecue to get me in the mood." Alan Michael comes over, "Hey room for another Bauer." Michelle kisses him on the cheek, "Of course." Alan Michael helps set up decorations. Leah comes over, "Hey! Daddy." Rick hugs her, "Hey Honey." Mel comes over, "Hi Rick. Can I help?" He smiles, "Sure. You can help Alan Michael with the balloons." Mel is surprised but Alan Michael just smiles. Company: Buzz is getting everything together. Frank is carrying the cooler. Eleni runs over and helps, "Here. I'll give you a hand." Frank smiles, "Thanks." She grins, "I've missed the Bauer BBQ. I'm so excited." He looks at her, "You look great." She giggles, "You're still the Sweetest guy in town." The two put the cooler down outside. Eleni surprises Frank with a kiss. Police Station: Beth meets with Phillip, "So are they set bail?" He hugs her, "Yep and Alan paid it. One of the few nice things my Father has ever done for me." She smiles, "Well it is Independence Day." Phillip sighs, "So that means..." She nods, "The Bauer BBQ. You know I planned so much for it. It was gonna be..." Phillip shakes his head, "What?" She looks at him, "The anniversary of my wedding to Rick." Phillip realizes how Beth is feeling. Grant House: David is getting Vi ready, "You got everything you need?" She comes over in a bikini, "Ready." He shakes his head, "No. No way will you be wearing that." She rolls her eyes, "Are you really gonna do this." David puts his stuff down, "You lady you go upstairs and put clothes on!" She stomps upstairs." MM Lewis Fashion: Ashlee is walking around the boutique. Coop follows her, "Did you find the right one?" She shakes her head, "No I'm just not gonna go swimming." Coop is confused, "Ashlee you've been losing weight so you could do this. You've been dieting." She gets upset, "And it didn't work!" He scoffs, "Ashlee you are beautiful and you don't even see it. You are beautiful, you've been beautiful since the day I met you." She shakes her head, "But I've never been thin enough." Coop looks at her, "Ashlee do you even realize how much weight you've lost?" She scoffs, "I think I've gained weight." Coop gets angry, "Ashlee this has to end here! I know what you've been doing and I'm trying to forget but we all know you developed an eating disorder." She slaps him and runs out. Bauer Home: Harley and her kids come over. Harley hugs Rick, "Hey how are you?" He sighs, "I'm okay." She smiles, "Well Jude is staying the night and was wondering if Zach could stay too?" Rick nods, "Yeah great! Leah is staying too so it should be fun night." Frank goes to grab a beer and runs into Mel, "Hey Mel." She isn't happy, "Hello Frank." He shakes his head, "Mel I want to talk about us." She stops him, "Frank there is no us." She walks away. Michelle is bringing out the pies. She drops them to the floor when she sees Danny and Marina on the patio. PART TWO: Docks: Phillip and Beth are staring out into the lake. Beth smiles, "Springfield sure feels different from here." He nods, "Yep. I missed all of this, while I was gone." She looks at her ring, "A lot changed while you were gone." He nods, "I know. You married my father. And later my best friend." Beth sighs, "Phillip-" He stops her, "Beth I'm sorry. I have no right to talk about that." She looks at him, "Phillip I really missed you." He smiles, "I missed you too. I thought about you everyday." She cries, "Oh Phillip." He holds his hands, "I didn't know if I'd ever see you again." The two lean close and kiss. Bauer Home: Alan Michael and Mel are sitting in the kitchen. Mel hands him a water, "I didn't expect to see you here." He laughs, "Well this is my family." She nods, "Yeah I forgot you were half Bauer." He smiles, "Well it's not what I'm most known for." She looks in his eyes. For that moment her stressful life feels perfectly calm. Hot Tub Vi is sitting in the hot tub. Ashlee walks by. Vi whispers, "Please tell me that girl is not gonna put on a swimsuit." Ashlee tries to pretend like she doesn't here it but ends up going back to the car to get a jacket. Food Area Frank and Eleni are sitting at a table. She laughs, "I can't believe how much fun this is! I forgot how much I enjoyed this." He smiles, "I'm glad you are having a good time." She holds his hand, "Frank I want to talk about the kiss." He puts his food aside, "Did it mean something?" She nods, "Frank maybe we should give 'us' another shot." Frank thought he'd never hear those words come out of her mouth. Side of Patio Harley hugs David, "I'm so glad to see you in town." He smiles, "I'm glad to be here." She laughs, "How has it been being partners with Mallet?" David nods, "It's pretty much the way you described it!" The two share a laugh. Over across the patio. Michelle approaches Danny and Marina, "So you guy's having fun?" Danny sighs, "I just wanted to come say hi." Michelle nods, "Well you have and now maybe you should go." Marina scoffs, "Michelle are we just not going to be invited anymore?" Michelle laughs, "Well this is my family's BBQ so I just find it rude that you would come!" Marina looks around, "Everyone is here! My parents are over there! Heck there is more of my family then there is of yours!" Michelle shoves her. Marina gets angry, "Oh you just assaulted a cop!" The two are fighting but quickly broken up. "Michelle Bauer!!!!!!" Michelle turns in shock to see her father!

3 beautiful and talented girls.

It's a very late night in Springfield....... Bauer Home: Rick is cleaning up. Beth and Lillian have just left with the children. The door opens. Rick turns around to see his sister, "Michelle! What are you doing here?" Michelle runs and hugs him, "Oh Rick! I'm home." Rick sighs, "I heard about you and Danny. I'm sorry." She shakes her head, "Oh it's okay. I'll bounce back. I always do. But I'm home now. Robbie and Hope are away at Camp for the summer. So I thought I'd come see my brother who needs me. Who really needs me." Rick holds his sister close. Company: Buzz comes in trying not to wake anyone. He sees Ashlee walk downstairs, "Hey Buzz! You're back!" He laughs, "It was a fun trip. I've been gone for a long few weeks." She hugs him, "Well I'm glad you're home." He steps back and looks at her, "Wow have you lost weight?" Ashlee nods, "Yes. I feel great." Buzz is shocked, "That's a lot of weight to lose so soon. You must be doing some good dieting." Ashlee nods, "Yeah it must be." Buzz gives Ashlee one last hug before he goes up to bed. She feels bad lying to Buzz. Beacon: Bill and Olivia are lying in bed after making love. The phone rings. Olivia is sleeping so Bill answers it, "Hello? What? Oh my God!" Bill jumps out of bed. Olivia sits up, "What's wrong?" Bill pulls his pants on, "I have to get to Cedars!" Olivia gets worried, "What happened?" He calms himself down and sits with her, "Olivia, it's Ava." Olivia jumps up. The two get dressed and run out the door. Spaulding Mansion: Edmund takes RJ upstairs. Cassandra smiles at Josh, "So you thought you'd come to take my child from me?" Josh shakes his head, "You can't handle this right now Cassie." She scoffs, "You are no better than Alan when he took Tammy from me." Josh is upset, "How dare you compare me to Alan! Alan murdered Tammy! I loved Tammy and I love RJ they are my family!" She screams, "They are my children! I am the only parent that RJ has now. I will take care of him. I will do a far better job then you could even try to do." He shakes his head, "Cassie I love RJ. And right now you can't be around him." She rolls her eyes, "Oh please Josh. You are far from being a good parent." Reva comes in, "Thats where your wrong little sister." Cassandra is furious to see Reva. Reva Bend: Rocky sleeps in his room. Shayne sneaks in, "Hey." Rocky wakes up, "Hi. What's up?" Shayne laughs, "Oh funny you should ask?" Rocky sighs, "Shayne we promised your Mother." Shayne shuts the door, "She isn't here. And I really miss being with you." Rocky gives in and nods to Shayne.. Shayne hops into Rocky's bed and the two start to make love. PART TWO: Company: Ashlee is upstairs in the boarding house. She is in the bathroom looking in the mirror. "Wow! I do look good. I'm not going to be that girl ever again. I'm the new Ashlee." Ashlee starts brushing her hair and a clump comes out. She stares at it for a moment but tosses it in the trash. She talks to herself in the mirror, "You only ate lunch today. And you didn't hold it down for long. Then ran another mile. Good job. Your not dependent on food. You are strong and you don't need anything to make you happy." Ashlee steps on the scale. She still isn't happy with her results. She takes a deep breathe and goes to bed. Reva Bend: Shayne and Rocky lie in bed together. Shayne kisses him, "That was great." Rocky smiles, "Yes it was. But you need to leave before your mother comes home." Shayne laughs, "Oh my God! What is with you. You act like she's so scary." Rocky shakes his head, "Nope. I really like her. She's.... motherly. I never got that. My mother died when I was a baby." Shayne kisses him, "Well she seemed great." Rocky nods, "Yes. Now enough. Get out." Shayne laughs and goes back to his room. Rocky turns over and goes back to sleep. Spaulding Mansion: Cassandra looks at her sister, "Oh Reva Shayne! Of course you would come to back up Josh!" Reva shakes her head, "I'm here to help RJ. He's my nephew." Cassandra shakes her head, "He is my Son! Will you people get that through your heads!" Reva looks at her, "You know Cassie people used to say we were exactly alike. Now, I'd say we are complete opposites." Cassandra smiles, "Well I guess the fact that I'm not a whore kind of supports that statement." Josh sighs, "Cassie we won't give up on RJ without a fight." Cassandra grins, "Oh 'we'. You and Reva are back together! I knew it. Only a matter of time! Congratulations!!!" She picks up a glass and throws it at the wall. Reva shakes her head, "We aren't back together." Cassandra laughs, "Yet. But you will be." Security comes and takes them out of the house. Cassandra goes to her desk and lights up a cigar. She's been craving them lately. Cedars: Olivia and Bill run in. Marah hugs Bill, "She's in the room. She's resting." Olivia is worried, "What happened?" Marah shakes her head, "I don't know. I found her lying on the ground. I think something is wrong with the baby." Bill and Olivia walk in to see an unconsisous Ava. They have the guilt filling their hearts. Bauer Home: Rick and Michelle sit at the table. She sighs, "Rick I'm so sorry about Beth and Bertha." He looks down, "Actually it's Penelope now." Michelle is confused, "Who's Penelope?" Rick sighs, "That's the Baby's name now." Michelle nods, "Oh. What? What is wrong with Beth? I'm gonna call her..." He takes her hand, "It's fine I'm over it." She sighs, "I'm sorry. But you don't need to worry because your little sister is here to cheer you up." He laughs, "Well good luck." Michelle smiles, "Well we still have one thing to look forward to." Rick looks over, "What?" She grins, "The Bauer Barbecue!!!!!!" PREVIEWS: Bauer BBQ Michelle sees Danny with Marina Rick tries to have a good day Beth and Phillip have alone time Eleni kisses Frank Mel enjoys time with Alan Michael David argues with Vi Ashlee is getting worse A Big Return!

Wow! Sounds like a great cast. I can't wait.

I never read The Market before but it sounds good. I think I'm gonna check it out.

Ashley and Rufus are my favorite characters! I am intrigued by the partnership with Rufus and Alexis.

It's all about the children in Springfield...... Boudreau House: The Boudreau Family is having a nice dinner at the family house. Felicia looks to Mel, "So sweetheart, how is work going?" Mel smile, "It's going well Mom." Felcia sighs, "I just wish you were still at the hospital." Mel shakes her head, "Mom. I told you, I don't have time to balance Medicine and Law." Clayton looks to Remy, "So Son, how does it feel to be a detective?" Remy nods, "It's great. Marina and I are working great together." Felicia grins, "Well I always thought you and Marina would be good together." Remy shakes his head, "No Mom. Marina and I are partners and friends. Just like we always have been." Felcia looks at her children, "Well that brings another question: Are you two out dating yet?" Each of them looks down at their plate. Beacon: Marah is walking down the hall. Ava walks over, "Hello Marah. How are things with my Dad." Marah turns around, "You Bitch!" Ava laughs, "What? I didn't lie to you." Marah shakes her head, "You know I should tell Bill." Ava shakes scoffs, "He wouldn't believe you." Marah begins to smiles, "He wouldn't believe that you paid Emma's kidnapping last year so Bill would come home?" Ava nods, "Yep. He doesn't think I'd do that. Besides I don't think you'd tell him." Marah grins, "I don't have to. You just did." Marah turns Ava around to see Bill and Olivia standing behind her. Bauer Home: Beth is cleaning up when Rick comes in. Beth runs over and hugs him, "Oh Rick! I haven't see you in weeks!" Rick sighs, "Beth we need to talk." Beth quiets down, "Okay put Penelope is sleeping." He turns and stares, "Penelope? You already changed her name?" Beth feels bad, "Not officially but it felt wrong calling her Bertha." Rick sits down, "Beth we need to make something else offical." Beth's heart falls to her feet when she sees the divorce papers. Spaulding Mansion: Cassandra sits in the study. Edmund walks in, "Cassandra, someone is here to see you." She turns around to see RJ standing there, "Oh my God! RJ!" She runs over and hugs him. He is shocked, "Mom. I can't believe it. They told me you were dead and then...." She holds him close, "Oh Honey don't worry about that. I have you back now. In our new home." Josh walks in, "I don't think so." Cassandra isn't happy to see him. Malah House: Cyrus walks in. Dinah turns around, "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Cyrus stares at her, "We need to talk about this." She notices his crutches, "What happened to you?" He sighs, "I was hit by a car." Dinah laughs, "Serves you right." He rolls his eyes, "Didi, have you thought about how hard this pregnancy is going to be?" She turns to him, "Mind your own business." He shakes his head, "Oh. You really didn't think that you could do this without bringing up.... her." Dinah looks at Cyrus with fury. Harley's House: Mallet is over discussing a case with Harley. The kids come running in. The girls run upstairs. Harley walks over, "Did everyone have fun with Gus?" Zach and Jude walks over to Harley. She can tell they are upset, "What's wrong." Mallet looks over, "You boys alright?" Jude sighs, "I'm sorry Mom! Gus and Natalia-" Zach shoves him, "Smooth Jude. Mom. We need to tell you something." Harley shakes her head, "Tell me what?" Zach and Jude look at each other. Zach sighs, "Natalia is pregnant." Harley's mouth drops. Beacon: Olivia slaps Ava, "What the hell is wrong with you!?!" Ava goes to Bill, "Bill you know I..." He pushes her away, "You had your sister kidnapped? My daughter?" Ava starts crying, "Bill I'm so sorry." Olivia looks at Ava, "You are not allowed to see Emma ever again. I want you out of my hotel by the end of the night!" Olivia leaves. Bill walks away. Marah goes into the elevator. Just as the doors close Marah smiles, "Paybacks a bitch." Ava starts to get dizzy. She clutches her belly and falls to the floor. PART TWO: Bauer Home: Beth shakes her head, "Rick... this is all happening so fast." Rick sighs, "I've had a lot of time to think about this Beth. It's for the best." She sits with him, "Rick, Phillip is the father, but you are still my husband." He holds her hand, "Beth, I did love you. But our whole marriage I was worried that you'd leave me for Alan." Beth is upset, "And I didn't Rick." He strokes her cheek, "Beth.... I was worried about Alan. But I should have known that you never stopped." Beth is confused, "Never stopped what?" He looks into her eyes, "You never stopped loving Phillip." Beth starts crying, "Rick that isn't true!" He nods, "Yes it is. You've loved him since we were in high school. You two belong together." Beth is crying, "Rick I can't sign this." He looks at her, "Beth please? Let me go? Please?" She takes a deep breathe. Very slowly Beth goes over the papers. Boudreau House: Mel looks to her brother, "Remy she asked you a question." Remy scoffs, "She asked you too Mel." Mel shakes her head, "I'm not seeing anyone." Felicia sighs, "Okay Mel. I'll pretend I believe you. Remy?" Remy decides to take a strong approach and blurts out, "I'm dating Blake!" The table is silent, except for Mel spitting her water across the table. Clayton is confused, "Isn't Blake a man's name?" Felicia looks at her husband, "Blake Marler. She was Ross's wife." Mel nods, "Yeah and she's my friend! She's older than I am!" Remy shakes his head, "I knew you wouldn't understand!" Felicia tries to calm everyone down, "Now lets be open. Son I am happy that you've found someone. Even if that someone has three children." Clayton adds, "Yes, two of whom have graduated high school." Mel is still in disbelief. Malah House: Dinah shakes her head, "Cyrus you need to leave." He tries to stand on his own, "Didi, I brought the picture." She gets angry, "I told you to burn that!" He tries to give it to her, "Look at it!" She shakes her head, "No." He won't quit, "Yes!" She screams, "No!" She picks up his crutch and smacks him in the chest. He falls to the floor. She throws it down, "Get the hell out of my home or next time you're gonna get it twice as hard!" He gets up, "That is the Dinah that I remember." She laughs, "Yeah... well remember that. Stay away from me." Cyrus leaves. Dinah walks upstairs. Dinah walks into her bedroom. She digs deep into the closet. She pulls out a box. Dinah pulls out a tiny pink blanket. On the blanket is the letter C. She picks it up and holds it to her chest. She begins to cry. Beacon: Olivia is sitting in her suite. There is a knock at the door. She answers it. Bill runs in and kisses her, "Oh God Olivia!" Olivia pulls away, "Bill we said no more!" He looks into her eyes, "Olivia I need you! Olivia I love you!" She kisses him. He picks her up and carries her to the bedroom. Out in the hallway. Marah comes back upstairs. She finds Ava lying on the ground. There is blood coming from her dress. Spaulding Mansion: Cassandra steps in front of her son, "What are you doing here Josh?" Josh walks over, "I came to get RJ. RJ I told you not to come here." RJ speaks up, "She's my Mother!" Josh nods, "I know. But she isn't healthy right now!" Cassandra scoffs, "Oh why because I'm rich and powerful? Yeah they should save me from myself!" Edmund steps over, "I think it's time for you to go Josh." Josh turns to Edmund, "You did this! You turned Cassie into this..." Cassandra laughs, "Into what Josh?" Josh turns around, "Into a Spaulding!" She smirks. Harley's House: Mallet sits with Harley, "You okay?" She sighs, "Yes..... no. I just.... Gus was told that he couldn't have children." Mallet nods, "Yeah well so was I. I guess Springfield is full of miracles." She laughs, "Oh Mallet. I just always thought that if Gus ever had another kid that...." Mallet finishes her sentence, "It would be with you." He gives her a hug.

A day full of revalations in Springfield....... Grant House: David hugs his mother, "Mom! I've missed you like crazy!" Charles comes in, "Son! How have you been?" David hugs him, "I'm good Dad. Wow it is great to be home." Vivian kisses him, "Oh it is good to have you home Darling." David puts down his bags and walks over to Vi, "Hello Baby." She sighs, "Hi Dad. Welcome home." He kisses her on the cheek. Ice Cream Shop: Maureen visits Kevin at work. He is on a break from his summer job. She gives him a kiss, "I missed you." He holds her hand, "How did it go with your Dad?" She sighs, "It was hard. But he told me to enjoy what I have. And I will." Kevin smiles, "That's good to here." She stares into his eyes, "I really like you Kevin. I want to be in a commited relationship with you. How do you feel?" Kevin gets nervous. Company: Marina and Danny are sitting at a table. She gets a call, "Hello? Yes this is..... What? He's where? I'm right across the street. I'll be there soon." She hangs up. Danny is worried, "What's wrong." She stands up, "Cyrus is at Cedars. He was hit by a car." Danny stands up, "I'll go with you." The two hurry out. Cedars: Cyrus sits in the room. Michelle walks in, "Hey. How's the patient?" He grins, "I'm fine. But I hurt my leg?" She looks at him, "And?" He laughs, "My ribs." It hurts to laugh. She grins, "I told you! I knew it." He shakes his head, "Were you aiming for my ribs?" She sighs, "No. I told you I'm a doctor. Wait did you hurt your face too?" He nods, "Yeah but that's from some jerk my girlfriend is with," he holds out his hand, "I'm Cyrus." She shakes his hand, "I'm Michelle." Park: Alan is in shock, "So wait. Natalia is pregnant?"

Park: Natalia walks away from Alan, "Go away." He follows her, "Are you forgetting that you didn't spend the night of your wedding with Gus?" She shakes her head, "I don't know what your talking about?" He laughs, "Why is he even buying this? I thought Gus couldn't have kids?" She keeps walking, "It's a miracle." Alan chuckles, "Okay so there is what a 10% chance that this is Gus's miracle baby." She turns around, "And I'm going on the chance." Alan nods, "Okay. I won't say anything. But we will do a DNA test. And if that is my child..... believe me I will not lose another child." He walks away. Cedars: Danny can't believe Michelle's there, "So you followed me here?

That's it." She shakes her head, "I'm so sure. Come on Cyrus, I'll take you home." Michelle and Cyrus get in the elevator. Danny leaves to go find Marina.

She is confused, "What?" Max looks to her, "Susan, your mother called us to talk with you about the drugs and stuff." She shakes her head, "Oh my God! Are you guys serious? I mean really? Everyone does this stuff now." Max shakes his head, "Not the stuff you are into. What exactly have you done?" Susan sighs, "I don't know. A few things." Sam looks at her, "Have you done meth? Or heroine?" She rolls her eyes, "I tried meth once. And heroine a couple of times. Big deal!" Max stands up, "Oh my God! Susan! What the hell is wrong with you?" She stands up with him, "Alright come on. You guys need to stop being such prudes." Sam shakes his head, "We aren't prudes Susan. But we are worried about you." Susan is furious at her mother. Towers: Harley approaches Gus, "Hey. I was hoping to see you here.. He sighs, "Are you worried?." Harley looks down, "It seems weird with everything that's going on." He puts his hand on her shoulder, "Hey. We aren't going to let Phillip take Zach. Okay? Harley smiles. She changes the subject, "Oh I have to tell you the lawyers are going over the divorce papers and they will get back to me soon on what went wrong." Gus nods, "Yeah well.... I mean we don't have to rush it." She smiles, "Well don't you and Natalia want to be married as soon as possible?" He sighs, "Well I guess we'll just wait and see." Harley grins. Gus grabs his stuff, "I got to go. I'll see you later Harley." She waves goodbye. She is confused. Was he hinting at something? Outskirts: Mel is getting a drink. Alan Michael comes from behind her, "Hey. Isn't it a little early for that?" She raises her glass, "I can break the rules every once in a while."

You won't be sleeping in the same room." Shayne scoffs, "Oh I wonder why." Reva stops him, "Hey now. Jonathan and Tammy had the same rules when they were living with me. I won't show you special treatment." Rocky laughs and the two unpack. PART TWO: Grant House: Vi questions her Grandparents, "What do you mean Daddy's coming home?" Charles smiles, "David is coming back. He misses you very much." Vi shakes her head, "But I came here because we weren't getting along." Vivian holds her hand, "But he's still your father. Besides you are a good girl. And he will realize that." Vi gets nervous. Her father is the only one in her family who knows her true personality. Harley's House: Harley walks in. Susan throws a book across the room. Harley runs over to her, "Where did the guys go?" Susan's furious, "Oh you mean my friends who you turned against me? I threw them out." Harley shakes her head, "You have no boundaries do you?" Susan grabs her by the arm, "You are such a bitch!" Harley slaps her, "I am your mother! And you won't talk to me like that." Susan shakes her head, "You and Dylan aren't my parents! Jim and Connie Lemay were my parents and they died. You two are the kids who had sex and got pregnant. You didn't even want me." Harley cries, "No. I didn't raise you. But that doesn't mean that I don't love you with all of my heart."
