    Christmas continues in Springfield....




    Company:


    The Coopers all stare in shock.
    Marina stands with Shayne and Rocky.
    Marina nods, "It's true. I'm giving my child to Shayne and Rocky to raise."

    Buzz shakes his head, "I.... I don't understand. This is a pretty big decision. When did all of this happen?"
    Shayne smiles, "After the ceremony. That's what Marina was upset about. Then Rocky and I decided to take the big step and raise this child as our own."
    Marina looks at them, "And I am so grateful. They will be good fathers to my child. I think Danny would be happy with this decision."
    Rocky walks over to his father, "Your going to have a Grandchild."
    Buzz nods, "Or is it a Great Grandchild?"
    Rocky sighs, "Both? I don't know we can work it out. But this baby is a Cooper in so many other ways."
    Buzz hugs his Son.

    Cyrus walks over to the door to try and sneak out.
    He is followed by Lucy who stops him outside, "Hey! I need to talk to you."
    He sighs, "Lucy I need to get going."
    Lucy grabs his arm, "How long have you been dating Harley?"
    Cyrus is surprised by her question.
    Marina walks over to Harley inside, "Aunt Harley please tell me you will be on our side about this."
    Harley sighs, "This is not about sides. We all just want what's best for you, for Rocky, and for this child. You are all family."
    Marina nods, "But at least we were honest. I mean family is all about honesty right?"
    Harley takes Marina's hand, "We need to talk."
    The two go upstairs.



    Cross Creek:


    Reva and Chandler pull away from the kiss.
    Josh's mouth drops, "Reva... are you dating Dr. Tyler?"
    She smiles, "So what if I am? He is a great guy and we have fun together. But no. We are just... we're having a fun little fling. It's nothing serious. But we are spending the holiday together if that's okay with you."
    Josh sighs, "Well it's every one's holiday Reva. I won't stand in your way of being happy."
    Josh walks back in.
    Chandler looks at Reva, "What the hell was that?"
    She sighs, "Did you want me to tell him the real reason and have him try and get involved. Besides you know you liked it."
    The two walk inside.


    Jonathan walks over to Billy, "Hey have you seen Liz anywhere?"
    Billy nods, "Uh I think she left a little bit ago. I don't know probably going over to some Spaulding Christmas party."
    Jonathan walks outside to look for her.
    Aubrey sits with everyone at the table.
    Vanessa smiles at her, "So Aubrey have you found out if it's a boy or a girl yet?"
    Aubrey shakes her head, "It's to soon to tell."
    Vanessa nods, "Well you know you can find out so much more now."
    Aubrey nods, "Well I don't know. I kind of want a surprise. Surprises are always great. You never know how much you want something until you get it you know?"
    Aubrey hugs Sarah.
    She then looks around to see no sign of Jonathan.



    Mel's House:


    Alan Michael and Mel sit in the kitchen.
    Mel smiles at him, "Look at you. The big family man. Your whole family would probably be spending the holiday a part if it weren't for you. You are keeping them together."
    He sighs, "I just wish I could do more. If only I had control of the Company. I would really turn things around. Make the Spaulding name something to be proud of."
    Mel nods, "Why don't you?"
    He turns to her, "What?"
    She smiles, "You are a good businessman. You should go for the Company. You have a good shot."
    He is confused, "I thought you hated the business stuff. I didn't want you involved in it."
    She sighs, "I do dislike it strongly. But like you said. You can make it something to be proud of. I believe in you Alan Michael. If anyone can do it you can."
    He grins, "When you say that I actually believe you Mel. I might have a shot at saving the company from Cassie."
    Mel nods, "So it's settled. You are going to work your way to taking back Spaulding Enterprises for you family.'
    Alan Michael is excited for this idea.



    Malah House:


    Blake walks away on her phone.
    She is in shock, "Oh my God. Ross! I can't believe it's you... You remembered our anniversary.... Of course you would but.... I love you so much and I miss you every single day.... Oh they are great. Clarissa is going to start making her schedule for High School soon. Jason is still doing well in school. Kevin... there is a lot going on with Kevin but, I am taking care of him.... Oh Dinah. She is just amazing. You know how hard it is for me to say that. She is a great mother.... You should be proud of her and your little Grandson Anthony..... What? I don't understand what are you....... But the kids have school I can't just..... I will Ross. I'll do it."
    Blake keeps looking around to make sure no one is listening to her.

    Dinah and Mallet are upstairs in the nursery.
    Dinah lies Baby Anthony down for sleep.
    She smiles, "Look at him Mallet. He is just the best. I don't think I could dare to ask Santa for any more."
    He takes her hand, "Well to bad because you got something anyways."
    The two walk into the bedroom.
    He hands her a small box.
    She opens it, "Mallet you didn't have to."
    He grins, "I hope you like it."
    She pulls out a necklace, "It's beautiful."
    He nods, "There's a word on the back."
    She reads it, "Trust. That's what we've always needed."
    He smiles, "Now we have it."
    Mallet walks around and puts the necklace around her neck.
    This is by far Dinah's best Christmas.



    Bauer Home:


    Ray looks at Michelle, "These gifts are from Danny."
    Michelle backs up, "No. Ray I don't understand."
    He looks at her, "Michelle, Danny picked these out special months ago. He was having them made special."
    Michelle is speechless.
    Hope runs over, "Gifts!"
    Ray smiles, "These gifts your Daddy picked out a while ago before... he picked them for you."
    Hope and Robbie take their gifts.
    Michelle sits down.
    Ray hands her a box, "This one was for you."
    Michelle has tears in her eyes as she takes the box.
    She looks over at her children.
    Robbie is holding a beautiful watch. It has his initials on it.
    Hope is holding a locket with her initials on it as well.
    Hope runs over, "Open yours Mommy!"
    Michelle slowly opens hers.
    She is surprised by what she sees.
    Michelle holds it, "This is an old picture of me and my mother."
    The picture is now in a beautiful frame with a pattern that is also on the locket and watch.
    Michelle starts to cry.
    Her children hug her.
    Robbie looks at her, "Merry Christmas."
    Michelle kisses her children, "Oh Merry Christmas my angels."
    Across the room a photo of Danny sits on the mantel looking over at them.



    Outskirts:


    The bar is closed.
    Somehow Liz has gotten in.
    She has been drinking and crying.
    Jonathan walks in, "Somehow I knew I'd find your here."
    She sighs, "Just go back to your family that's where you belong."
    Jonathan sighs, "What about you?"
    She laughs, "Oh I am where I belong."
    He sits next to her, "The dirt. Remember?"
    She shakes her head, "No."
    He laughs, "That night we were drinking. I got into a fight with Coop. Tammy, Marina, Ava, Remy. They were all there. They all dragged Tammy away with their noses up while we were left where we belonged..."
    She nods, "In the dirt. I can't believe you remember that. We were smashed."
    He laughs, "Well it was a big night."
    She smiles, "That's right. That's when Sarah was conceived. That drunken night... here actually it was right here."
    He nods, "Yep you were broken up with Coop. I was dumped by Tammy. It was our consolation prize that ended up to be the best thing in our lives."
    She smiles, "Sarah... she is just the most beautiful little girl I've ever seen."
    Jonathan nods, "She looks like you Liz."
    She fights tears, "You sure she doesn't look like her Mother Aubrey?"
    Jonathan takes Liz's hand, "You are her mother Liz. Not Aubrey."
    They stare into each other's eyes.

    PART TWO:

    Company:
    Marina is shocked by what Harley revealed, "Uh... wow I just didn't see that one coming."
    Harley sighs, "Marina I'm so sorry. But I couldn't keep it from you."
    Marina takes a deep breathe, "You are dating Cyrus Foley."
    Harley takes Marina's hand, "I'm sorry that this hurts you."
    Marina shakes her head, "No, no, no. Harley, we broke up a long time ago. I fell back in love with Danny. I don't have feelings for Cyrus anymore."
    Harley smiles, "So your okay with it?"
    Marina sighs, "Well I don't know about that. I think he's dangerous but I don't know if he makes you happy. It's not like you guys were together while I was still with him. Harley if you really want to be with him then fight for him and never let go."
    Harley takes a deep breathe, "Wow I thought this would be a lot different."
    Marina sighs, "Well I know that there is the whole family thing. But if you have feelings for someone you should go for it no matter what. And if your family member is not with them or drifting then you don't have anything to feel sorry about."
    Harley is confused, "Where is all of this coming from?"
    Marina turns and sees Shayne with Rocky.
    She turns back, "Oh nothing."
    Across the room Buzz stands in front of the Coopers, "My family. I want to say how blessed I am to have each and every one of you here. I know Frank, Eleni, Coop, and Ashlee are not here right now. But I am happy knowing they are safe wherever they are. I love you all. Merry Christmas."

    Mel's House:
    Mel holds Alan Michale's hand, "Oh sweetheart. You are going to save your family."
    He nods, "I hope I can prove to them that I have what it takes."
    She shakes her head, "No. You don't need to prove anything to anyone. And we don't need to say anything today. It's Christmas. We'll wait until new year to make the annoucnment. Then you'll have your whole family to support you."
    Alan Michael grins, "Well I think it's time for us to make our speech."
    Suddenly attention is towards the side of the room.
    Beth stands, "Everyone. Phillip and I have something we want to say."
    Phillip sighs, "Well I wanted to wait but Beth insist that I do this now. I just want to first say Merry Christmas. Thanks to Mel for having us over to her lovley home. I know this has been a difficult year for the Spauldings in Springfield."
    Beth nods, "But soon things will change for the better."
    Phillip smiles, "I am going to announce right now, that I plan to run for CEO of Spaulding Enterprises and reclaim the family company. I will make this company something my children can be proud to be a part of. This family will rise to the top again!"
    The Spaulding all cheer for Phillip.
    Alan Michael and Mel are speechless.

    Cross Creek:
    Billy and Vanessa look at their family.
    Billy grins, "Thanks everyone for being here. Christmas is very special to us all and it's great to be able to spend it with the people that you really do love the most."
    Vanessa nods, "And you all have brought such joy into the cabin. Thank you so much. Merry Christmas to you all."
    The whole room is in smiles.
    Reva looks at Chandler, "You know your having fun."
    He nods, "The Lewis/Shayne clan is sure an interesting one."
    She smiles, "I told you. Stick with me and you'll have the time of your life kid."
    Chandler looks up, "Uh-oh."
    Reva looks what, "Oh Mistletoe."
    Chandler smiles, "Well I guess if we have too."
    Reva laughs at what she thinks is a joke but is surprised when Chandler pulls her into a very real kiss.
    Aubrey looks around, "Where did Jonathan go?"
    Sarah walks over, "Mommy where did she go?"
    Aubrey smiles, "Who baby?"
    Sarah talks, "Mama Lizzie."
    Aubrey gets angry, "No. Sarah baby that is not your mama. I am. Don't be confused silly. She's not a nice lady. She's a stranger. And remember I said to stay away from strangers. And you are doing a good job baby."
    Aubrey hugs Sarah.

    Outskirts:
    Liz looks at Jonathan, "So you and Aubrey.... are you guys happy?"
    He sighs, "We were but... once we got to Springfield she just changed. I don't know. Maybe I did or... I never got over Tammy. But when I was with her it felt like she was healing me. But maybe she was just covering up wounds that needed to heal themselves."
    She turns to him, "Have you talked with her about it?"
    He shakes his head, "I try but she changes the subject. I made my decision but then she got pregnant and.... I'm just waiting until the holidays are over and then...."
    Liz is confused, "What?"
    He sighs, "I think I'm getting an annulment. I can't do this again. I can't make the same mistake with Aubrey that I made-"
    Liz stops him, "With me I remember. Our marriage wasn't real."
    He pours another drink, "I never forgave myself for hurting you Liz."
    She sighs, "I know. I have never forgiven myself for..... lots of things."
    Liz's drink falls over.
    He takes it, "Remind me to call us a cab. We can't go out like this."
    She laughs, "Oh man. I just keep having deja vous!"
    He walks over to the other side of the bar.
    He starts cleaning it, "I miss running this place. A lot of good memories."
    Liz helps him clean, "Yeah it's a pretty fun place. I think Reva and Billy still run it."
    He smiles, "It just reminds me of when we were carefree kids. I feel bad saying this but sometimes I miss those days. Do you ever miss being the two bad kids of Springfield. The Bad Boy and Bad Girl of Springfield!"
    She takes his hand, "This is really familiar."
    Jonathan and Liz look into each other's eyes.
    They lean close and kiss.
    They continue kissing.
    Moments later they find themselves in the backroom.
    They fall onto a bed.
    Liz rips off his jacket.
    He tears the buttons of her blouse.
    She kisses his chest.
    They are tearing off their clothes.

    Malah House:
    Blake hangs up her phone and walks into the living room.
    Kevin looks at her, "Who was that?"
    She hesitates, "Oh... uh, just someone from the station. We're airing repeats today and he wanted to make sure I knew."
    Jason laughs, "Does he think your dumb?"
    Blake laughs nervously, "Oh yeah I guess he does..."
    Kevin looks around, "Where are Mallet and Dinah?"
    Maureen laughs, "Let's leave them alone."
    Blake smiles, "Oh yes. Maybe we should go for a little caroling. Christmas is very special to Mallet and Dinah."
    Upstairs Mallet kisses Dinah's neck.
    He massages her chest.
    She turns around and kisses his lips.
    She starts to unbutton his shirt and kisses his chest.
    Mallet picks her up and carries her to the bed.
    Mallet takes her feet and massages them.
    Dinah smiles.
    She sits up and starts to take off his shirt.
    Mallet helps slip off her skirt.
    The two kiss again.
    Dinah grabs a Santa hat from the floor and throws it on his head.
    The two laugh.
    Dinah smiles, "Merry Christmas Mallet."
    He grins, "Merry Christmas Dinah."
    The two begin to make passionate love.

    Bauer Home:
    Michelle hugs her children.
    Michelle takes her picture and puts it up on the mantel.
    She walks over to Danny's picture, "Thank you my love."
    She blows him a kiss.
    Ed walks into the center of the room, "Hello everyone can I have your attention. Today is more than just presents and cookies. Today is about miracles, life, family, hope, and so much more. I am so glad that I have an amazing Son. A terrific daughter. Two handsome grandsons. And two beautiful Granddaughters. And some of the best friends I could have ever asked for. You all are just such great people. And now we are all together. It has been years since we had a real family Christmas. I mean I real one. So I just want to say thank you. Thank you for everything you have given me my family."
    Ed hugs his Grandchildren.
    The Bauers all get together for a family hug.
    Pictures on the wall smile down at them of Bert, Maureen, Danny, and all of the other family members.
    The Bauers are back.


    Springfield has ups, downs, drama, action, love, hate. But one thing that is constant is family. The Bauers, Spauldings, Lewises, Coopers, Marlers, Grants, Boudreaux, Shaynes, and everyone else.

    Julie smiles at him, "Oh Tony, I wasn't here for your last wedding but I came her for this one. I've missed you."
    Dinah is standing with her mother and Billy, "So that's Julie?"
    Vanessa looks over, "Oh yes. You never met her did you?"
    "No she was in town while I was at school. Mallet doesn't talk about her. Billy do you know her?"
    "Oh, yeah Darlin'. I remember her. She was engaged to Dylan."
    Dinah stares at her, "Yep, I've heard some things myself."

    Cross Creek: Bill is in the livingroom wearing his tux. There is a knock at the door, "Just a sec." Bill answers the door, it's Josh and Olivia, "Hey Bill."
    "Hey guys."
    Olivia steps in, "You left early I didn't get a chance to talk. Where's Emma?"
    "She's sleeping."
    Olivia walks towards the stairs. Bill steps in front of her, "You don't need to wake her."
    Josh walks over, "Hey Bill, Olivia just wants to see her daughter. There's no harm in that is there?"
    "I don't know Josh, apparently Olivia can't protect Emma so I will."
    Olivia trys to get past him, "Bill I need to see her. What all the sudden you're her father? You ditched her two years ago."
    "Olivia I made a mistake but I never put her in danger. That is why...."
    Olivia is frustrated, "Why what?"
    "That is why I am getting custody."
    Josh holds Olivia's hand.

    Towers: Marina is talking to Frank, "Daddy. I haven't seen you in so long. How are you?"
    "I'm good. How are things going with him."
    "Cyrus and I are great."
    "Well I need to get going. I'll just take the old elevator that no one uses, it goes faster." Frank leaves.
    Cyrus walks over, "He was in a hurry. Somewhere he needed to be?"
    "I don't know. But he needs a girlfriend."
    Frank is in the elevator. He turns around, Mel is waiting, "What took you so long?" She immidiantly starts taking off his tie.
    "Sorry. Marina was right outside." He steps by the door."Funny thing about the old elevators, they always stop." Frank hits the button and Mel pulls him to the floor.
    Inside Gus walks over to Harley, "Hey. How are you?"
    "I'm.... I'm good. You?"
    "I'm good. How's Daisy?"
    "She goes by Susan again. She's great. I'm really happy for her."

    The Church: Susan walks over to Guillespie, "Did you miss me G?"
    Guillespie grabs her, "No way. Why would I miss a little brat like you?" He grabs her and kisses her.

    "Yeah he seems happy. I can't believe it. Just last year I was married with Zach and Jude. I was so happy."
    "You aren't happy now?"
    "Well....."
    Julie walks over, "Harley?"
    "Julie! How are you?"
    "I'm fine. Is this your new husband."
    "Yes well..... was."
    "Oh I'm sorry."

    Cross Creek: Olivia is sitting on the couch with Josh, "What did he just say to me?"
    Bill is trying not to wake Emma, "You heard me Olivia."
    Olivia stands up, "You know how much I love her. You know I am a good mother."
    "Olivia that's what I thought."
    "You son of a bitch!" Olivia jumps at him.
    Josh holds her back, "Olivia, don't do anything crazy."
    Bill grabs her purse, "It's a little late for that Josh." He tries to hand it to her.
    Olivia grabs it and smacks him, "How dare you! You aren't her parent, I am! She barely remembers you!"
    Josh walks Olivia out, "Olivia come on I'll take you home."
    They leave. Billy walks in with Vanessa, "Bill what happened?"

    The elevator starts moving. "What's going on Frank?"
    "I don't know I pushed the button. No one even uses these."
    Mel jumps up, "Oh God!" The two try and get dressed. They are half dressed when the door opens.
    They are on some random floor. No one is there. They get dressed. Frank steps out and Mel goes up stairs.

    "Yeah hey Matt. How's Bridget?"
    "I haven't talked to her in a while. When did you get in town?"
    "I came for the wedding. I didn't get a room ahead of time so I might have to sleep on the bench."
    "No way. You can come stay with me?"
    "Are you sure?"
    "Of course." The two of them walk off.

    "Yes. Where did you get this?"
    "I found it."
    "Yeah you found it. From who?"
    "None of your buisness." He puts her down on the bench and kisses her.
    Someone comes in. They duck down.
    Cyrus and Marina come in, "You looked beautiful up there."
    "Thanks. I am so happy they finally got they're dream wedding. They deserve it."

    "Of course."
    Ava gives Bill a kiss on the cheek, "You are such a great father. You really deserve her." Ava walks off. She mutters under her breath, "Unlike some people."

    Mallet and Dinah's Home: Mallet puts the key in. He carries Dinah in over the threshold, "It is empty but it's better than the beacon."

    It's New Years Eve in Springfield....



    Towers:


    The Lewises are hosting a huge party.
    A big announcement is about to be made.

    Shayne kisses Rocky, "Are you excited?"
    Rocky nods, "Yeah I think your family is going to have a big year in 2009 and I'm glad to be a part of it."
    Shayne grins, "I'm going to be working a lot but I'll be earning a lot of money for the baby."
    Rocky smiles, "I can't believe that 2009 is the year we become parents. It's so hard to believe."
    Shayne hears his family call his name, "Oh I need to get over there. But stick around because I still need a kiss at new year."
    Rocky nods, "I wouldn't miss it."
    Shayne walks over by his family.

    Across the room Michelle approaches Marina, "Hey I didn't expect to see you here."
    Marina smiles, "Well I'm here for my friend Shayne."
    Michelle nods, "I'm here for my friend Bill. This is going to be a big year for the Lewises."
    Marina sighs, "It's been a difficult year but 2009 will be a better year."
    Michelle smiles, "I certainly hope so. If it wasn't for my children I don't know how I would get through this. It's just comforting knowing I'll always have a piece of Danny."
    Marina puts her hand on her stomach, "I think I understand."
    Michelle looks at her, "What do you mean?"
    Marina takes a deep breathe, "Michelle..... I'm pregnant. I'm carrying Danny's child."
    Michelle stares in shock.



    Beacon:


    The Beacon is hosting it's annual New Year Party.
    Natalia and Olivia are the hosts.
    Olivia smiles at her, "Wow this is going to be great. Your going to do great tonight."
    She sighs, "I'm nervous. I mean the Beacon is such a great hotel. I can't believe I'm going to have this big job."

    Mel and Dinah walk over.
    Dinah smiles, "What's going on."
    Olivia grins, "Well I was going to wait until later to tell everyone but I will tell you tonight. I decided to sell half of the Beacon again. And now Natalia is my co owner of The Beacon Hotel."
    Mel hugs Natalia, "Congratulations. That's so great! So you two are going to be running this hotel together?"
    Natalia nods, "Yes. I can't believe how far I've come from being the maid here."

    Upstairs Blake knocks on a door.
    Remy answers, "Hello Blake."
    Blake sighs, "Remy. I got your note. I only came to tell you goodbye."
    He scoffs, "Goodbye?"
    She sighs, "Remy I'm going out of town for a little while. 'Light Talk' is going to take a small break while I take my vacation time. I have somewhere I have to be."
    He shakes his head, "I knew it. I knew this would happen eventually."
    She walks into the room, "What Remy?"
    He sighs, "Your going to find him aren't you?"
    She stares at him, "This isn't your business! Remy why did you invite me here to argue?"
    He walks towards her, "You forgot? Our anniversary?"
    She shakes her head, "What?"
    He takes her hand, "The first night we made love?"
    Blake looks into his eyes.



    Main Street:


    People are getting ready to ring in the new year on main street.
    Jonathan and Liz sit on a bench.
    Aubrey has taken Sarah to go get a snack.
    Liz turns to him, "We need to tell her Jonathan. We need to tell Aubrey what happened on Christmas."
    He sighs, "Not tonight! Liz this is not something you tell someone in the middle of Main street."
    Liz shakes her head, "Believe me she would want to know. I've been there. I can't believe we did this. I feel like such a hypocrite!"
    Jonathan turns to her, "Liz you know how I feel about you. I am going to end things with Aubrey."
    She scoffs, "What is it your New Year Resolution?"
    He laughs, "No. That is the same as always. To be an even better father to Sarah."
    Liz smiles, "We have a great little girl. We are so blessed."
    Jonathan takes Liz's hand.
    They stare into each other's eyes.

    A few yards away Aubrey is staring at them while Sarah is holding her hand.

    She stares at him for a moment.

    Towers:
    Michelle looks at Marina, "Oh my God! Your having Danny's child?"
    Marina nods, "Yeah. I found out a few weeks ago."
    Michelle hugs her, "Marina! Oh my God! I'm so happy for you. This is a miracle. One last child of Danny's. Oh you need to tell the kids. And just... I'm so happy for you. This is your last gift from Danny for you to treasure."
    Marina sighs, "Michelle.... I am just not in a stable place anymore. I haven't been the same since Danny passed away. Even before that I wasn't... I just can't handle all of it right now. So I've decided on adoption."
    Michelle is in shock, "Are you giving Danny's child away to a stranger?"
    Marina shakes her head, "No. I'm going to have Shayne and Rocky raise this child."
    Michelle goes to say something but attention turns to the front of the room.

    The Lewises stand in front.
    Billy smiles, "Everyone we want to thank you for joining us this evening. As you all know the businesses in our family have all been through a lot this year. But me, my wife Vanessa, and my brother Josh have been busy. We have been putting together something big for us all to be a part of."
    Vanessa and Josh remove a sheet and reveal a sign.

    She smiles, "It's so great that we are out as a real official couple."
    He nods, "2009 is going to rock!"
    She laughs, "I am so glad that I have you. You sexy Aussie! You came into my world and turned it upside down. But you have made me so happy and reminded me how to have fun."
    Cyrus grins, "And you have made me believe in love again. I've had my heart broken in the past but with you I feel like I can have a happy relationship without all of the drama."
    She holds his hand, "I know at first we didn't want a relationship but I think we are in one now."
    He laughs, "Relationship. Who knew?"
    She sighs, "Thank you Cyrus. Thank you for basically saving me."
    He grins, "Thank you for letting me into your family with your beautiful children and loving home."
    The two lean in and kiss.
    Upstairs Blake is with Remy.
    She looks at him, "Wow it's really been a year. Since the whole shower thing."
    He laughs, "Yep. We both ended up naked in the shower and ended up staying to steam it up."
    She smiles, "Remy you helped me so much at a time in my life where I really needed someone."
    He nods, "And you did the same for me. And I don't know about you Blake but I really need someone right now."
    She gets up, "I can't do this! I can't do this Remy! Just please stop!"
    He shakes his head, "Blake I'm not giving up on you. On us!"
    She sighs, "Well I'm sorry but this is how it ends."
    She walks out and slams the door.
    Remy stands there in shock for a moment.
    He shakes his head, "It can't end like this!"

    He sighs, "Well I think I'll get a place for her to stay while she's pregnant. And maybe I'll stay with you and Sarah at the farmhouse."
    Liz nods, "Like a real family. It's like my dream."
    He smiles, "I feel corny saying this but I always kind of hoped that we would be able to do that for Sarah."
    They stare into each other's eyes.
    Liz leans close to Jonathan.
    Aubrey runs over, "You guys!"
    They jump up, "What?"
    Aubrey is freaking out, "Sarah! I turned my back for a minute and she's gone! Someone might have grabbed her."
    Liz's heart drops, "Oh God! Sarah!"
    Jonathan looks around, "Alan might have done it! Sarah? Sarah!"
    The three go running around Main Street.
    Aubrey sees a teddy bear lying on the ground.
    She turns, "Jonathan!"
    Jon runs over and picks it up, "This is Sarah's!"
    Aubrey cries, "Oh my Baby!"
    They continue searching.

    Marina nods, "Well Shayne and I are very close. And Rocky is family. So it's not like my baby will be gone. It'll just be with them. They will be great parents I know it."
    Michelle worries about her.
    Shayne walks over to Marina, "Hey have you seen Rocky?"
    Marina shakes her head, "No I haven't. Why?"
    Shayne sighs, "We are kissing at new year and there isn't a whole lot of time left."

    Liz leans down, "Oh thank you. Sarah. Your okay!"
    Jonathan sighs, "Aubrey would you take her to the car. We should get home. We'll throw confetti in the car or something but everyone is a little shaken."
    Aubrey nods, "Yeah we should go."
    Jonathan sighs, "You go to the car. We're going to grab our stuff."
    Aubrey hesitates, "Uh... yeah okay."
    Jonathan and Liz get their stuff from the bench.
    Liz wipes tears, "I was so afraid that I'd lost her again. I just..."
    He hugs her, "We won't lose her. Okay? I promise. Sarah's going to be fine."

    Blake laughs, "I don't want to talk about it. I just... I'm getting ready to go out of town for a little while."|
    Harley nods, "Oh really? Where are you off to?"
    Blake hesitates, "Oh just... seeing an old friend. It won't be too long. But I do want to know how things are going with you and your boyfriend before I go."
    Harley laughs, "Well Cyrus and I are... happy. That's the word to describe it. I am happy to finally have a drama free life."
    Blake grins, "I'm happy for you."
    Harley nods, "Well actually I want to thank you. You inspired me. I mean after you lost the love of your life you still were able to find love with Remy. Now that Gus and I are done I can have a new love with Cyrus. He makes me happier than I ever thought I could be after Gus. Like Remy does for you."
    Blake sighs, "Remy and I aren't together anymore Harley."
    Harley nods, "I know that. But I mean you still can get back together. I don't know I haven't seen you this happy since you were with Ross. I don't think there is any reason you and Remy can't give it another try is there?"

    She sighs, "I've been at boring parties all night raving about how I'm going to make Springfield better to people who are sloppy drunk. I need to talk to someone else."
    He smiles, "Have you talked to the kids?"
    She sighs, "Ashlee called me on Christmas. She just seems different. I don't know she's more mature. Which is what I always wanted but... I don't know she acted like she wanted to come home but she couldn't."
    Buzz turns to her, "Really? Because I got the same feeling from Coop. And he said the writing thing isn't working out. I don't know. He keeps asking about home but says he and Ashlee need to stay in Europe."
    Doris sighs, "I was thinking about paying her a visit soon but I just don't have the time. I really want to call her later. I have had a hard night."

    Shayne and Marina laugh.
    After he leaves Marina turns to him.
    She sighs, "Should we talk about what happened?"
    He looks at her, "Did I startle you?"
    She laughs, "A little. It was just... I haven't kissed you since we used to date and... was it appropriate?"
    Shayne laughs, "I hope so I enjoyed it."
    She shoves him, "You know what I mean. Your dating my Uncle. Wow it's still weird to say that."
    He sighs, "Is it still weird for you? That I'm in a relationship with Rocky?"
    She looks down, "Sometimes. Shayne I wanted to tell you-"

    Olivia turns to her, "Like what?"
    Mel sighs, "Well as you know Phillip announced he is going to try and take back Spaulding Enterprises. But if he had waited Alan Michael was about to announce the same thing."
    Olivia gasps, "Oh God! Really? Wow that is going to cause a lot of drama."
    Mel nods, "Don't I know it. But I'm going to help him every step of the way."
    Olivia smiles, "Well I will be here for you. I've ran Spaulding before so I know how hard it is to get there."
    Mel hugs her, "Your a great friend.
    Downstairs Blake is with Harley.
    Blake looks at her watch, "I need to get going. I have to finish packing and I leave later in the morning."
    Harley hugs her, "I'm going to miss you. Call me and when you get back we can hang out. We haven't hung out in a while."
    Blake nods, "I know. I got to go. I'll see you Harley."
    Harley smiles, "Bye."

    Doris sighs, "Buzz... being a mayor is a difficult job. But I can't talk to anyone until I get a lawyer."
    Buzz worries, "Doris I keep hearing the news. They say that you could do jail time for these things."
    Doris sighs, "Ever since I got involved with Alan Spaulding I started doing things I'm not proud of. Now I'm afraid my karma has come back to bite me in the ass."
    Buzz looks around, "What, what can I do?"
    Doris has tears in her eyes, "I know it's late you should go home."
    Buzz shakes his head, "I'm not going home. Now you need to just tell me what's going on. We're friends right."
    Doris nods, "Yes we are. But I don't think anyone can get me out of this one Buzz."

    Buzz takes a deep breathe, "Is there anything you can do?"
    Harley sighs, "Daddy I know you are friends with her and she is Ashlee's mother but she did really bad things. She is most likely going to go to prison for what she has done."

    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."

    He hugs her, "Yep. Me and Sarah."
    She stares at him, "I can't believe it. You are really alive. Oh thank God for that."
    Jonathan looks around, "Wow. You did it. I mean you took down the Spauldings and got revenge for Tammy. I can't believe it."
    Cassandra smiles, "What do you think?"
    He grins, "I think it's awesome."
    She hugs him, "Oh finally! Someone who understands. It's like this whole town wants to forget about what happened to Tammy but I can't let that happen. You get it."
    He nods, "Yeah. I think about Tammy every single day. All the time."
    She cries, "Oh so do I. But seeing you and Sarah just.... feels like I got a piece of her back today."
    He hugs her again, "Well seeing you makes me feel the same way. I'm so proud of you. You are a force to be rekoned with now."
    Little Sarah is walking around the room.



    Farmhouse:



    Aubrey is cleaning.
    She is the only one there.
    She rubs her stomach, "Oh Baby. Soon it'll just be you, your sister, me and Daddy. Our little family."
    There is a knock at the door.
    She goes to answer it.

    She is shocked to see Rafe at her door.
    She backs up, "What are you doing here?"
    He walks in, "This is a nice place. Took me a while to get here."
    She shakes her head, "How? How did you find me here."
    He laughs, "I know a thing or two about you Aubrey."
    Aubrey shouts, "Okay it's time for you to go!"
    Rafe grins, "You should have asked me my name. Rafe Rivera."
    She shakes her haad, "So?"
    He laughs, "Okay what about my Grandfather's name? Alan Spaulding."
    Aubrey backs up, "No."
    He nods, "Oh yes. I am a Spaulding. Liz Spaulding is my sort of cousin."
    She walks away, "No. You stupid punk!"
    He walks towards her, "Now. How about we play the little game of what I like to call: Blackmail."
    Aubrey is disgusted by his smirk.



    Spaulding Enterprises:



    Phillip and Beth have been in meetings all day.
    They walk down the hall and run into Mel and Alan Michael.
    Phillip smiles, "Hey. My little brother. Are you working today?"
    Alan Michael shakes his head, "No. I have some meetings."
    Beth nods, "Meetings for what?"
    Mel looks at Alan Michael, "Honey I think it's time we told them. They need to know what they are up against."
    Beth shakes her head, "What are you talking about?"
    Alan Michael looks at his brother, "Phillip. I have been planning to take control back of Spaulding Enterprises from Cassie and bringining to the Spaulding family."
    Phillip laughs, "Didn't you here my speech that's what my plan has been. I just started persuading some of the stockholders."
    Alan Michael shakes his head, "No. I've been planning to do this. Mel is supporting me. I am more than ready."
    Phillip nods, "Well okay. You can work with me. I'd love it. The Spaulding brothers."
    Alan Michael sighs, "I'm sorry Phillip but that's not going to happen. I am running for CEO of Spaulding Enterprises. I will win. I will take control of the family."

    He walks in, "I wanted to apoligize for my behavior a few weeks ago."
    She smiles, "Oh no it's fine. I was intruding."
    He shakes his head, "No no no. I saved you because I cared about you and you deserve to know that."
    Gus is pouring a drink.
    Olivia walks towards him, "How many have you had?"
    He turns to her, "Not much. But I did want to come up here and spend some time with you."
    Olivia laughs, "It's not even nighttime and your already tipsy."
    Gus hands her a glass, "Well the more the merrier."
    She backs up, "I don't drink."
    He laughs, "I remember you drinking all the time."
    She nods, "Exactly."
    He puts it down, "Oh I'm sorry."
    She shakes her head, "It's fine. It's fine Gus you didn't know."
    He sits on her couch, "I still feel like a lot happened between us and we need to talk about it."

    That he found out about her child she had in Europe.
    And then break the news that her child died in a fire at an orphanage.
    Dinah would never recover from that.
    Mallet feels lost.

    Dinah walks down the stairs, "Good morning Babe."
    He stands up, "Good morning. How did you sleep?"
    She smiles, "Good. Are you going to work soon? You'll be late?"
    He looks at the clock, "Oh damn. I lost track of time I have to run.

    She pulls it out and is shocked by what she has found.

    PART TWO:

    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."
    Alan Michael nods, "Good luck Phillip. You'll need it."
    The two couples go their seperate ways.

    Beacon:
    Olivia sits with Gus, "So you saved me from being shot at the bank that day and it almost costs you your life. Why?"
    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."
    He grins, "I was thinking something else.... maybe your clothes."
    She looks at him, "Are you talking about strip poker?"
    He smirks, "Oh yaah."
    The two laugh.

    Spaulding Mansion:
    Jonathan sits on the couch.
    Cassandra hands him a drink, "So are you in Springfield for good?"
    He nods, "Right now yes. But I don't know> I mean how do you handle being in the same town as that man?"
    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."
    She smiles, "Wow she sounds a lot like Tammy."
    Jonathan nods, "Yeah. She's just a really smart, calm, good person."

    Farmhouse:
    Aubrey sits on the couch.
    He walks over with two beers, "You want to join me for a toast?"
    She shakes her head, "I can't drink. And neither can you. I don't know how old you are but I know your not 21."
    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."
    They clink drinks together.
    The two start a plan.

    Malah House:
    Dinah pulls a box out of the drawer.
    She recognizes it.
    She opens it.
    She pulls out the baby blanket.
    Along with a picture and baby toys.
    Dinah is in shock, "No. Oh my God! Mallet what are you doing?"
    She takes the things and stands up.
    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."
    She hangs up.
    She grabs her coat and leaves.

    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.

    He looks around, "Well if your waiting for Cyrus or someting..."
    She laughs, "No he's not here. Sit."
    Rocky sits, "I was just wondering about your job."
    She nods, "As a detective. What about it?"
    He turns to her, "Well being a cop is dangerous. But I mean your saving people. And it makes it all worth it right?"
    She nods, "Yeah. I mean I know that I am making a difference and making the world a little safer for my family."
    Rocky goes on, "But when you had Zach. I mean I know you had Susan but she was grown and living with the Lemays. When you had him did that change how you felt about the force?"
    She sighs, "Well at first but after a while I felt like it was what I was supposed to do. And then I got shot and almost gave up all together. I didn't want to leave my children motherless but.... I don't know I feel like this is my passion and my responsibilty."
    He smiles, "Wow. That's so cool."
    She sighs, "Is this the speech?"
    He is confused, "What speech?"
    She laughs, "The whole 'Quit being a cop' speech. Daddy, Lucy, Coop they all do it to me, Frank, and Marina. Am I gonna get it form you too?"

    Jonathan walks inside, "Hello?"
    Marah and Shayne walk over to him, "There you are."
    He smiles, "What is this?"
    Marah walks over, "Well we haven't really gotten to know you yet. So we wanted to take a chance to get to know our little brother."
    Jonathan laughs, "You two are nuts. But I'm sure Mom would love this."
    Shayne smiles, "Well we can tell her all about it later but I think we need some sibling time without Mom."
    Marah smiles, "Maybe we can look at what we have in common."
    Jonathan laughs, "I don't think there is a lot we'd have in common."
    Shayne looks at him, "Actually I know your wife Aubrey is expecting a child. Rocky and I are going to adopt the child that Marina's carrying."
    Jonathan nods, "So you and Rocky Cooper?"
    Shayne sighs, "Yes. Are you going to have a problem with having a brother who is involved with a man?"
    Jon laughs, "Your looking at the guy who fell in love with and married his cousin. I believe that no one can interfear with true love."
    Marah sighs, "We can talk about her. We were close with Tammy."
    Shayne nods, "You know Tammy was like a sister to us. I think about her everyday."
    Jonathan nods, "Me too. I mean I don't know if I'll ever be able to accept her death. But Aubrey really helped me with that."
    Marah nods, "Aubrey seems like a nice girl."
    Jonathan smiles, "Oh yeah. She is the typical good girl. I'm lucky to have a bond with her."

    Cassandra stands, "Oh my God. I heard so much about you. I'm happy to meet you."
    Aubrey grins, "I heard a lot about you. Your a very inspirational person. Jonathan is really happy with what you've accomplished."
    Cassandra hugs her, "Oh I'm so happy he has you. I didn't think he'd ever find someone else to love after Tammy. I mean he'll never love someone the way he did her but you just... you remind me of her."
    Aubrey walks around, "Yeah I wasn't sure at first either. I mean Tammy was just perfect. I didn't think I would be worthy of being Jonathan's next love after her."
    Cassandra turns to her, "What made you change your mind?"
    Aubrey sighs, "You are going to think I'm nuts."
    Cassandra shakes her head, "You don't know that."
    Aubrey sits, "Well. I wasn't sure until someone told me that I was going to be good for Jonathan and Sarah."
    Cassandra sits with her, "Who told you Aubrey?"

    Beacon:


    Gus and Olivia are playing cards.
    Olivia has to remove another item of clothing.
    She takes her jacket off.
    He laughs, "You sure you don't want to quit?"
    She shakes her head, "Oh no. You see it's only a matter of time until the game flips and I have the upper hand."
    He grins, "Don't say I didn't offer."
    She giggles, "This was an interesting game for you to suggest."
    Gus nods, "Well I used to play this in high school."
    She gasp, "Oh my God! Tell you Natalia played!"
    He shakes his head, "Oh please! She would never do that. No she doesn't like any kind of gambling. Especially for clothing. No Natalia was always a good girl. And I was the bad boy back then."
    Olivia smiles, "Believe it or not I was a good girl. But as I got older I realized that not all good girls get to have their dreams come true. So I had to be a bad girl and go after what I wanted."
    Gus nods, "Well I can respect you for that."
    She sighs, "I do take pride in knowing that my success I got on my own without anyone handing it to me."
    He deals the cards, "Well I would be too. You are an admirable woman."
    Olivia smiles at him.



    Ice Skating:


    David is taking Lucy ice skating for their date.

    David grins at her.
    She notices, "What is it?"
    He stops her, "It's just weird how much you've changed these past months. I mean when we first hooked up you were this... well trainwreck."
    She shoves him.
    He laughs, "But look at you. I mean you remind me of yourself before you married Alan Michael."
    She nods, "Well I liked myself a lot better then. I mean I do miss the business world. But I like helping my father with his diner. But I do want to say that he has now given me full pwoer of CO2."
    David hugs her, "That's great! Congratulations."
    She nods, "Yep. I'm going to be working their now. Like it's mine. Of course we don't get a whole lot of business in the winter. But by the time I'm done it's going to be the hottest place in Springfield."
    David smiles, "Well I know that you can do anything you set your mind too. You always amaze me."
    The two kiss.

    PART TWO:

    Company:
    Harley looks at Rocky, "Are you really considering becoming a cop?"
    Rocky nods, "I've been thinking about it latley. I mean after my attack I knew Ihad to hve some change in my life. I thought I knew what it was but that turned out to be a big mistake that almost costs me everything."
    Harley nods, "But you think joining the force is what you should do?"
    He sighs, "It's just when Marina found me, it was just like she was some hero. Which she is. You all are. At that moment I realized what you guys were really doing. I thimk I could really get into that."
    Harley smiles, "I'm so happy for you. I mean I know what it's like when you realize something like that. But I am worried. I mean as your sister I feel like I should tell you to find a job where you aren't in the line of danger all the time."
    He laughs, "But that would make you a hypocrite."
    She nods, "Yes it would. Have you talked with Shayne about this?"
    He shakes his head, "Not yet. I wanted to be sure first. And I think I am. I just don't know how to tell him. I mean that would not be good news for him. He is very protective of me."
    She nods, "I konw. But if he loves you he'll respect your decision to do what you feel pasionate about."
    Rocky smiles, "Thanks Harley."
    The two hug.

    Outskirts:
    Marah and Shayne are laughing with Jonathan.
    Shayne laughs, "Are you serious? I mean I can't even picture Mom doing that."
    Jonathan nods, "Oh yeah. Reva's awesome. We used to raise hell when I was in town."
    Marah sighs, "You really changed her. I mean when we left she was more... I don't know motherly."
    Jonathan pours drinks, "Well she told me I brought out the old Reva in her. But I don't think Joshua was to happy about that."
    Shayne sighs, "I wish they could be happy together but now I am starting to think that maybe those two would be happier if they weren't together."
    Marah nods, "I think this may be where the Josh and Reva story ends."
    Jonathan leans over, "So what do you guys know about her and this Chandler guy? I don't know something weird is up with them."
    Shayne sighs, "I don't know but I just hope he is good to her."
    Marah looks at her phone, "Oh I need to get going. I have to go meet with Jeffrey."
    Jonathan smiles, "Jeffrey O'Neill. He's a good guy. He helped me, Aubrey and Sarah. Let him know how much I appreciate that."
    She nods, "I will. Jeffrey is a great guy."
    Shayne gets up, "I should go to. I have to pick up Marina and meet Rocky. We have to go over some stuff."
    Jonathan hugs them, "It was nice getting to know you guys I'll see you at the next family event."
    They all walk out.

    Ice Skating:
    David and Lucy are still skating.
    Lucy turns to him, "You know I have been wondering if it's time we officially started dating."
    He laughs, "What have we been doing."
    She smiles, "You know what I mean. You can come over and see my family. I baerly know yours. And your daughter Vi. I'd love to get to know her. You don't talk about her a lot."
    He nods, "Yeah I do."
    She shakes her head, "Yeah but not in detail. I mean how is your ealtionship with her?"
    He sighs, "Vi is a little mroe complicate then most people would think. Things are not quite as they seem."
    Lucy is confused, "I don't get it. What do you mean?"
    He sighs, "Vi has had a difficult life. And as she got older she started to rebel more agaisnt me and she has somewhat of a chip on her shoulder."
    Lucy shakes her head, "I can't believe that. I mean she seems like the perfect kid. I always see her voulunteering at Cedars."
    He nods, "Well no one else knows the real Vi except for me. I'm only telling you so you'll be prepared."
    Lucy laughs, "Prepared for what?"
    David sighs, "If I'm going to be in your life then so is she. And I'm not sure if you could handle her."
    David skates ahead.
    Lucy stays for a moment.

    Beacon:
    Olivia and Gus are sitting and still playing the game.
    Olivia still has her shirt and pants.
    Gus is in his underwear.
    Gus smiles, "I think your better than I orginally thought."
    She nods, "This isn't just a game of luck. It involves strategy, deception, and thinking. All of my specialties."
    He sighs, "Well maybe we should stop here."
    She shakes her head, "Lay donn your cards."
    They both put their cards down.
    Olivia jumps up, "Yes! I knew it! I win. You lose. Now let's drop 'em Gus!"
    He shakes his head, "Come on."
    She sits, "It's a game. You have to play by the rules. You can put them back on later but just take them off so I can officialy win the game."
    Gus stands up, "This has to be the low point of my life. I'll be naked with a beautiful woman without getting anywhere."
    She laughs, "I guess we'll see."
    Gus slowly pulls down hsi boxers.
    Olivia stares for a moment but turns away, "Okay okay. Uh... just... that's good."
    He laughs, "Thank you."
    She shakes her head, "I uh... just. I've... Just get dressed."
    Gus gets dressed.
    Olivia turns red.
    She feels so embarrased which she didn't expect.
    But now her desire for Gus has grown more.

    Spaulding Mansion:
    Cassandra stares at Aubrey, "You.. you.. are you telling me you talked with Tammy?"
    Aubrey nods, "I know it sounds insane."
    She shakes her head, "No. No I know what you mean. I... Okay I've talked with Tammy a few times. But just keep that between us."
    Aubrey nods, "But it's like she always has the advice you need. I don't get why other people don't get it."
    She hugs Aubrey, "Oh thank God! Someone else who understands. Who understands everything."
    Aubrey nods, "I think being with Jonathan has made me close to her. Atleast that's what she tells me. And I don't think Tammy wants Jonathan with Lizzie. How is that fair?"
    Cassandra shakes her head, "It's not."
    Aubrey nods, "I mean Lizzie gets to have Tammy killed an years later she gets her husband too. I don't get how someone can be so sick and selfish."
    Cassandra sighs< "She's going t hurt him and Sarah. But we wo't let that happen. I couldn't save Tammy. But I can save you Aubrey."
    Aubrey hugs her, "Thank you."
    Cassandra nods, "We'll work togeher. Okay? I promise."
    Aubrey leaves.
    On her way out she calls Rafe, "Hey. Yeah it's me. Part 1 of the plan has started."
    She walks out.

    Police Station:
    Doris sit with Ashlee, "Oh baby. All I ever wanted was for you to be safe. I wanted to protect you."
    Ashlee nods, "I know that."
    Doris sighs, "I'm not so sure. I mean everything that happened last year with you... your eating disorder. I know it was my fault because I didn't give you enough self esteem. I didn't encourage you enough. I made you feel like you weren't good enough all because I was insecure about myself."
    Ashlee shakes her head, "No. No. I knew Mom. I always knew you loved me. I knew Mom."
    Doris smiles, "I have so much more I need to tell you but I don't want to do that now. I have to go talk with a lawyer. Buzz will you take care of her."
    Buzz nods, "Of course I will."
    Ashlee hugs her, "I love you Mom."
    Doris cries, "I love you sweetheart."
    Doris is walked away with a cop.
    Ashlee sobs,
    Buzz hugs her, "It's going to be okay."
    Ashlee nods, "Yeah."
    Buzz puts his arm around her, "I'll take you to Company okay?"
    She nods, "Yes. That sounds good."
    The two of them walk out.

    Marina's House:



    Rocky walks into the livingroom.
    Shayne is on the couch.
    Rocky sits with him, "Can I talk with you for a minute."
    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."
    Shayne laughs.
    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."
    He is shocked, "Whoa! Chill out. I didn't say that. But can't she be close with you and Liz."
    Aubrey storms away.



    Bauer Home:


    Roxie opens the door.
    No one is home.
    She reaches into her purse.
    She pulls out a red rose.
    She places it on the table right in Mindy's usual seat.
    Roxie smiles, "Oh Mindy. It's only a matter of time before I finally get you out of the picture once and for all.
    Roxie turns and is suddenly grabbed from behind.
    A hand is over her mouth.
    She dragged out of the house and taken behind the house.
    She falls on the ground, "Ow!"
    She looks up and sees her brother.
    Rusty stares, "Hello Roxie!"
    Roxie scoffs, "What the hell are you doing?"
    He shakes his head, "It was you! It's been you this whole time. You were stealing from Cassie. Stalking Mindy. You were the person leaving the mysterious roses around!"
    Roxie shakes her head, "No. You got it all wrong. You have no idea what you are talking about."
    He helps her up, "Roxie! Little sister! Have you lost your mind?"
    Roxie stares at her brother.




    Mansion:



    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?"
    Beth turns, "Oh Mom... I didn't know you were working today. I was just going to see Rick."
    Lillian smiles, "Well he's down the hall. I have to check on a patient. I'll see you in a little bit."
    After Lillian leaves Beth sighs.
    She always hate lying to her mother.

    Felicia opens her door, "Hello Beth are you ready for today."
    Beth walks in, "Actually I need to talk with you. Felicia I'm sorry but I can't keep doing this anymore?"
    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 sighs, "It's not that cold. And her coat covered her neck."
    Aubrey stares, "Wow. I just... I don't understand how you could ever be a good mother."
    Aubrey walks to get a blanket for Sarah."
    Jonathan follows her.
    Liz sits with Sarah, "Hey. You had fun today didn't you?"
    Sarah smiles, "I like playing with you."
    Liz grins, "Well why did you act sad when you came in?"
    Sarah looks down, "Mommy says so..."
    Liz is confused, "Mommy says what?"
    Sarah keeps looking down, "Mommy says your a bad guy and I can't play with you."
    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!"
    Jeffrey sighs, "Cassie you need to sit down."
    She starts to walk away, "No! No..."
    She collapses.
    Jeffrey catches her.

  8. JAYJAY
    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.



    Cedars:



    Jeffrey sits out in the waiting room.
    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.

    Beacon:



    Olivia knocks on Gus's door.
    Gus shouts, "Who is it?"
    Olivia stands at the door, "It's Olivia open up."
    He opens, "What do you want?"
    She is holding a pack of cards, "Well I was wondering if you weren't busy, you might want a rematch."
    He scoffs, "You bothered me for that crap? Don't you have a job to do?"
    She shakes her head, "I'm not busy right now. You seemed to have fun last time."
    He stares at her, "God you are just so annoying. I mean I hang out with you once and you act like we're best friends for life. Are you always this clingy to people?"
    She backs up, "I don't know what is wrong with you Gus..."
    He interupts her, "What is bothering me is that I'm having a bad day and now I got you in here screaming in my face!"
    She shouts, "I wasn't screaming before but I'm screaming now!"
    He laughs, "Oh God! You know I used to feel bad for you. I mean you had what 4 husbands. Two Spauldings. Two Lewises. Then you dated two Coopers. I mean you really like to keep it in the family."
    She walks away, "I'm out of here."
    He laughs, "That's great! It got better things to do then hang around with the town whore!"
    Olivia slams his door.
    She kicks over a vase and goes to her room.



    Company:



    Ashlee walks downstairs.
    Buzz smiles, "Hey! Good morning."
    She sighs, "Yeah. I guess so. I got to get going to see my Mom. Then I have a class to go too."
    He turns to her, "A class?"
    She nods, "Yeah. I transfered back to Springfield U. I have some new classes I'm taking. Making my Mom proud."
    He nods, "Well that's great. I mean I know how much you wanted to go into Broadcast News."
    She sits at the counter, "Actually... I changed my major. I'm going down a different path now."
    He smiles, "Well you are a fun girl with a lot of talents. I'm sure you'll find something right for you. What are you going into now?"
    She laughs, "Well believe it or not... Okay well a while ago I took the MCATs."
    He stares at her, "Wait isn't that the test for...."
    She nods, "Yeah. Uh... I'm going to study medicine. I am going to be a doctor."
    He grins, "Oh my God! Ashlee that's amazing. I mean you are such a giving person. I'm happy for you."
    She nods, "I know I mean after I go to school for a few years I'll be Dr. Ashlee Wolfe!"
    He looks at her, "You mean Dr. Wolfe Bradshaw? After you marry Coop?"
    She hesistates, "Oh uh... yeah."
    Ashlee puts her hand in her pocket.
    Buzz already noticed.
    Ashlee's engagement ring isn't on her finger.



    Ravenwood:


    Reva and Chandler walk in the doors.
    He turns to her, "Okay so I know this isn't the real Annie. Okay. You need to remember that."
    She nods, "I'll try but it's just... I went years thinking this was Annie Dutton but, now I know she's a fraud."
    He puts his arm around her, "You need to remain calm. Now that she knows we've discovered her secret she is going to be very hard to keep under control. We need to find out who she really is, how she met Annie, and if she has any idea where the real Annie is."
    Reva nods, "Okay. I can do this. I can."
    They walk down the hallway.
    The security guard escorts them to a room.
    The door opens.

    The woman is sitting at a table.
    She is staring into space.
    Reva and Chandler sit at the opposite side of the table.
    Chandler looks at her, "Hello Annie. It's Dr. Tyler. I haven't seen you in a while. What have you been up too?"
    She opens her mouth, "I... I need my diary. Have you seen my diary?"
    He remains calm, "Now, is it really your diary? Or someone elses?"
    She continues, "It's my diary. It's Annie Dutton's diary. I'm Annie Dutton. It's my diary. I'd like it back now. Please."
    He talks to her calmly, "Now you need to tell me. Where did you get that diary? Who did you take it from?"
    She continues staring.



    Malah House:



    Dinah walks into her livingroom.
    Mallet is sitting there.
    She walks over to him, "I think we need to have a conversation."
    He nods, "Yes we do. But I think we should wait a couple of minutes."
    She shakes her head, "I don't understand. Why do we have to wait to talk about this?"
    He sighs, "Dinah I just... I have to tell you something serious."
    She looks at him, "Mallet... I know. I know that you know. I found out. And I want to talk about it."
    He looks at her with confusion, "You, you know? You know everything?"
    She nods, "Yeah. I found the information in your drawer. I didn't mean too. I just wish you had been honest with me. And I should have been honest with you about.... about the child that I had while I was in Europe. I think we should talk about it now."
    He holds her hand, "Dinah, when I first found out I just wanted to ignore it and focus on our baby. But I knew that this was a part of you and I didn't want to hurt you."
    She sighs, "I am so sorry that I kept this from you. But now I am ready. I'm ready to fix things."
    Mallet stares at her, "Fix things? Fix things how?"
    She sighs, "I want to find her. Mallet I want to find my daughter."
    Mallet's heart drops.
    Just then the doorbell rings.



    Lewis Fashion:



    Mindy is in he office.
    She hears a knock at the door.
    She answers.
    Rusty is there, "Hey can I come in?"
    She moves, "Sure. Is everything okay?"
    He walks in, "Uh... no. I need to talk to you. It's about Roxie."
    She opens the door back up, "No. Never mind. Go."
    He sighs, "Mindy we need to talk about this. Please?"
    She shakes her head, "Rusty no. I don't want to talk about your crazy, sick, bitch sister."
    He walks towards her, "I just want you to be aware. I know we aren't together anymore but I still feel like I have to protect you."
    She shakes her head, "You don't have to protect me. No one has to protect me. Now if you excuse me. I have to get back to work."
    He steps in front of her, "Mindy. I am trying to warn you. Roxie is on a mission to ruin your life and I don't want you to get hurt by that. I am trying to help you."
    She stares at him, "Rusty I don't get it. Roxie is your sister. Why are you here with me? Why are you telling me all of this?"
    He sighs, "It's my job."
    She shakes her head, "No there is something more. Rusty just tell me why are you keep coming to me. Why you have been doing everything to protect me ever since you first came back to town?"
    He shouts, "You know why! I have feelings for you Mindy! I want you Mindy."
    Mindy shakes her head, "No. No you don't mean that."
    She tries to walk past him.
    He grabs her, "Yes I do."
    He pulls her into a kiss.



    Mansion:


    Jeffrey walks Cassandra back into her house.
    She sighs, "Thank you Jeffrey. But I can take it from here. Now I am requesting that you keep this information to yourself. In exchange I leave Marah's business alone. Is that a deal?"
    Jeffrey stares at her, "Cassie I am not trying to blackmail you. I am worried about you. You have a brain tumor!"
    She shushes him, "No! Stop. I have kept this a secret for a while now. I don't need you causing me trouble."
    He sighs, "Tell me you aren't following in Reva's footsteps."
    She smacks him, "Don't. Don't you dare compare me to her!"
    He turns to her, "I'm sorry. But what you are doing is foolish. You need that surgery. Everyday you go on is making it worse. They said that if you had this surger right when you found out then everything would have been 100 times better and easier. Why don't you do something before it's too late? I don't get this whole Tammy thing."
    She shakes her head, "No one gets it! I did my research. This in my head is what is helping me connect with her."
    He shakes his head, "No. It's not Tammy. She's been dead for years now! The Tammy you've been talking to is all in your head."
    She turns away, "Just get the hell away from me!"
    She walks away.
    Jeffrey follows.

    PART TWO:

    Company:
    Buzz takes Ashlee's hand.
    He looks at it.
    Buzz looks up at her, "Ashlee... may I ask why you aren't wearing your engamenet ring anymore?"
    She looks down, "Oh. Oh yeah. Well you know after I lost the weight my fingers kind of slimmed down. The ring just slipped off. So I still have it. I just need to get it refitted."
    He nods, "Why haven't you done it yet?"
    She looks down, "Uh well you know I have been busy. But I'll get it done eventually."
    Buzz sighs, "Ashlee if there is something you need to tell me, you know that you can right?"
    She nods, "I know Buzz. Your a great guy."
    He sighs, "Ashlee. Why hasn't Coop come home yet?"
    She stands up, "Uh well he has to wrap up things there for us before he comes back but you know he'll... he'll be back. It's his home."
    Buzz tries to look her in the eye, "Is everything okay with you and Coop? Ashlee?"
    She looks at the clock. "Oh, I'm running late. I'll talk about this later Buzz."
    Ashlee rushes out.
    Buzz sits puzzled.

    Beacon:
    In Gus's room.
    He kicks over a chair.
    He scoffs, "Stupid bitch. Who the hell does she think she is?"
    Upstairs in Olivia's Suite.
    Olivia slams her door.
    She is crying.
    She looks at the mirror across the room.
    Olivia talks to herself, "You ignorant fool. Did you really think he'd be different then any other man you've ever met. Or maybe it's you. I mean could it really be every other man? Could it? You stupid bitch!"
    She throws her purse at the mirror.
    It shatters.
    She sighs, "Seven years. Seven years of bad luck. Well I certantly hope they roll over. Because I have enough bad luck ahead of me for sure. Story of my life."
    She sits on her bed.
    She keeps crying.
    Olivia feels so ashamed and embarrased.

    Mental Institution:
    Chandler talks with the woman.
    He sighs, "Now tell me what is your real name."
    She keeps staring, "My name is Annie Dutton. I was a nurse. That was my passion. And then I met my Josh. Josh Lewis at Cedars. Then I met my Marah. And my Shayne. We were happy. We were a picture perfect family. I am Annie Dutton."
    He looks at her, "Now listen to me. You need to remember when you first found this diary. Do you remember that?"
    She keeps staring, "I... I don't know what you mean. I am Annie Dutton. That's my name. I loved Josh. I loved my children. I hated... her," she turns to Reva, "You."
    Reva sighs, "Yes me. Do you know me?"
    She nods, "Your my enemy. Reva Shayne. You took it all from me. All of it. I hate you. Your Reva Shayne."
    Chandler stands up.
    He pulls Reva aside, "Listen. We need to keep her calm. Maybe you should leave Reva?"
    She shakes her head, "No. Are you kidding. I need to find out where the real Annie is. So I need to find out from her."
    He sighs, "Reva I don't think we'll find out anytime soon."
    Reva looks at him, "I have an idea. I know your not going to like it but I have a feeling it might work. Just give me a few minutes."
    Reva makes a phone call.

    Lewis Fashion:
    Mindy and Rusty are kissing.
    They are both lost in the moment.
    Suddenly Mindy pulls away.
    Rusty looks at her, "What's wrong?"
    She shakes her head, "No. This doesn't feel..."
    He takes her hand, "It feels right doesn't it?"
    She pulls away, "I don't think it's right. I think we're making a mistake. I'm not supposed to be doing this."
    He shakes his head, "No. Don't deny the truth. Don't do that. You need to face it. I have feelings for you. You have feelings for me. I'm not trying to complicate things. Believe me I've been fighting these feelings for a while now. Because I didn't want to ruin things for you and Rick."
    She gasp, "Rick! Oh my God! Rick! What am I doing? Oh what am I doing to Rick? I'm with him."
    He sighs, "But Mindy is that what you want?"
    She turns away, "I fought so hard to be with him. I broke up his marriage to Beth all because I wanted him."
    Rusty stands behind her, "Mindy... ask yourself. Is Rick the man that you can really see yourself with anymore? Is he?"
    Mindy turns to Rusty.
    She goes back into the kiss.

    Mansion:
    Cassandra sits in her study.
    Jeffrey walks in, "We need to talk."
    She shakes her head, "No! We're done. You need to get out of my face right now Jeffrey!"
    He sighs, "Cassie. You know I am trying to help you. I still care about you. I loved Tammy. I grew to think of her as my own daughter."
    She scoffs, "Well she wasn't your daughter. She was my daughter. And then the Spauldings took her from me. They took my baby!"
    He holds her hand, "I know. But this isn't going to change that. It's not going to bring her back."
    She pulls away, "Don't you see? I a part of her back. Because I still get to talk with her. And I can't stand to lose her again. I just know I could never do that."
    He looks at her, "Cassie I want to talk about this. I just want to sit down and we can try and come to some..."
    She shakes her head, "No. You see you may not have remember what today is along with the rest of the town but I do. It's the anniversary of the day my daughter died," her voice breaks, "So you see I don't have time to listen to you. I have to go and put flowers on my little girl's grave."
    She grabs her coat and leaves.
    Jeffrey watches her leave.
    His stomach is in knots.

    Malah House:


    Mallet lets Vanessa in.
    Vanessa turns to her daughter, "Dinah I..."
    Dinah looks at Mallet, "Baby did you tell her?"
    He nods, "Uh yeah Babe I did."
    Dinah backs up, "Uh wow. I just. I don't know if I'm comfortable with the fact that you were talking with my mother behind my back."
    Mallet sighs, "I wanted to have her be here for you when I told you about it Dinah."
    Dinah is confused, "We already talked about it. I want to find my baby."
    Vanessa cries, "Oh Dinah."
    Mallet has tears in his eyes, "Dinah I need to tell you. I already went in to finding your child."
    He sits her down.
    Dinah looks at him, "Well great. But your scaring me. I mean I'll do whatever I just want my child."
    Mallet takes her hand, "Dinah... your child was in an accident."
    Dinah shakes her head, "I don't understand. What kind of accident?"
    He takes every ounce of strength to tell her, "Dinah... it was a fire. You child was in a burning building. I'm sorry she didn't make it."
    Dinah stands up, "No. Stop it. No!"
    Vanessa hugs her, "I'm sorry Dinah!"
    Dinah shoves her, "No! Stop it!"
    Mallet holds her, "I'm so sorry."
    She sobs, "No!!! Please! Stop it! No!!! No. No."
    Dinah cries in Mallet and Vanessa's arms.

    An emotional day in Springfield....




    Ravenwood:



    A woman walks into the room.
    Reva and Chandler turn to her.
    Chandler turns to Reva, "Who is she?"
    Reva smiles, "Thanks for coming."
    The woman takes off her coat, "Well I really want to help you Ms. Shayne. I know how important this must be."
    Reva looks at Chandler, "Oh Chandler this is Diane. She has done a few segmants on Blake's show. She is going to be able to possibly help us with this situation."
    Chandler is confused, "How? I don't understand Reva. Who is this woman?"
    Reva sighs, "She is a hypontist."
    Chandler turns away, "Oh! Reva. This is ridiculous."
    Diane looks at him, "I know this sounds crazy to people sometimes but tests have shown..."
    He turns to her, "I know what tests have shown. But anyone can pretend to hyponitize people. How do we know your qualifications?"
    Reva takes him aside, "Listen. WSPR has checked all of that. She is an expert. She has been used in a lot of cases."
    He sighs, "Reva it's not that simple. These kinds of things are difficult. If you aren't prepared you can cause serious damage."
    Diane walks up, "I know what I'm doing."
    Reva looks at Chandler, "Please she may be our only hope."
    Chandler takes a deep breathe.



    Cross Creek:



    Michelle walks in.
    Bill is holding baby HB, "Hey what brings you buy?"
    She is holding papers, "Oh just some stuff we need to go over for the club. Your the expert so I thought you should take a look."
    He nods, "Okay. Do you think you can hold my little guy while I read the papers?"
    She takes him, "Of course. Look at this little handsome man. He looks just like his Daddy."
    Bill laughs, "Is he as cute as I was when I was a kid?"
    She giggles, "Well I don't think he has your ego but that is probably a good thing."
    Bill goes through the papers, "Well everything looks pretty good."
    Michelle looks around, "Where's the rest of the Lewises?"
    Bill looks up, "Oh uh my Dad and Uncle Josh are at the office. Mom is with Dinah, she said it was importnat but not why. And Emma is at school. So it's just me and little Harlan."
    Michelle smiles, "Yeah both of my kids are at school too. They grow up so fast. I can't believe how big this boy is getting."
    Michelle is playing with Baby HB.
    Bill turns to her, "Your really good with him."
    Michelle smiles, "Well I guess it's a mother thing. I mean whether it's your child or not you still can love them and grown bonds with them."



    Harley's House:



    Harley walks upstairs.
    She knocks on the girls bedroom door, "Hey. Can you turn down the music please?"
    The music continues.
    Harley knocks again, "Belinda. Belinda answer me!"
    The music gets louder.
    Harley opens the door, "Belinda."
    She turns of the music.
    Belinda sits up, "I was listening to that!"
    Harley walks over to her, "You are supposedly sick today. You should be sleeping and resting."
    Belinda scoffs, "This helps me sleep and rest."
    Harley sighs, "I knew you weren't sick today."
    Belinda turns over, "Well you know what? Gus would have let me listen to the music."
    Harley sighs, "Since when do you call him Gus?"
    Belinda scoffs, "I'll call him whatever I want to."
    Harley walks over to her, "I'm getting sick of this attitude. I went through it with your sister Susan and I won't go through it with you."
    Belinda laughs, "Don't compare me to your psycho daughter."
    Harley shakes her head, "She's still your sister."
    Belinda yells, "No she's not! She's not my sister. Gus isn't my father. And you aren't my real mother!"



    Malah House:



    Dinah cries in Mallet's arms.
    Mallet sighs, "I'm so sorry Baby. But the child that you had in Europe is gone."
    Dinah cries, "No!!!! No. No, no, no, no...."
    Vanessa sits with them, "Oh Dinah. Sweetheart I am so sorry."
    Dinah pushes them away, "No! No you are lying. Your liars. Why are lying to me about this?"
    Mallet holds her, "We would never lie about something like this."
    She stands up, "No. I would know! I would have felt it. She is my daughter. I may not have raised her but if she had... I would have felt it in my heart. I would have!"
    Vanessa walks over, "Oh Dinah..."
    She turns to her, "Mom! You know! You had to give me up. I understand that now! But the whole time you had to know. You knew in your heart that I was atleast alive right? Right?"
    Vanessa hugs her, "I'm so sorry baby."
    Dinah pushes her.
    Vanessa falls.
    Dinah shouts, "I don't want you to be sorry!"
    Mallet helps Vanessa up, "Are you okay?"
    Vanessa nods, "I'm okay."
    Mallet looks up, "Dinah..."
    Dinah runs out the door, "I need to leave"!
    Dinah runs.



    Cemetary:



    Jonathan is sitting at Tammy's grave.
    Cassandra walks up behind him, "Somehow I knew you'd be here now."
    Jonathan turns, "I was expecting you too."
    She puts her flowers down, "Wow even thought it's been years now... it still feels like yesterday I was standing at your wedding."
    He nods, "She looked so beautiful that day."
    She smiles, "She looked like a Princess."
    He sighs, "Like an Angel."
    She wipes a tear, "Yeah. She always was the most beautiful girl. You know when she first... I was afraid that I was going to start forgetting things. But she's just someone who's hard to forget."
    He nods, "I remember her laughs. Her big smile."
    She sits next to him, "I rememeber all of it too. She was so giving. So amazing. There's no one else like her."
    Jonathan smiles, "What was she like when she was a baby?"
    Cassandra grins, "Oh she was just... so mature for a kid. She was easy to stop crying. She never complained about sharing. Even when she didn't have much to share with people. And she had that big smile that was just contagious. She was my rock."
    Jonathan nods, "I thought so. She sounds just like Sarah is now."
    The two smile at each other.



    Lewis Fashion:



    Rusty and Mindy are making out.
    He puts her up on her desk.
    She starts unbottoning his shirt.
    He pulls off hers.
    The two are in a heat of passion.
    Rusty climbs on the desk with her.
    The papers start falling to the floor.
    Suddenly she pulls away.
    He looks at her, "What?"
    She shakes her head, "No. No. We need to stop before this goes to far. We need to stop now."
    He stares at her, "Why? Mindy what's wrong?"
    She gets up, "I can't do this. I need to stop. You need to leave now. I don't want this."
    He sits up, "We can't keep up this charade. You need to be honest with me and mostly yourself. You are kissing me because you want to be with me. I'm the guy you want."
    Mindy shakes her head, "No. Rick. Rick and I are together."
    Rusty gets up, "Rick? Does Rick appreciate you for who you really are? Or does he want you to fit into his life?"
    Mindy sighs, "Rick and I are...."
    Rusty scoofs, 'Are what? Trying to build a relationship. Mindy you two have grown a part. Just ask yourself which one of us you want?"
    Mindy is speechless.

    PART TWO:

    Cross Creek:
    Michelle stands up, "I'm sorry that was weird."
    Bill is confused, "What are you talking about?"
    She sighs, "I just said that I love your Son. That came out wrong."
    He laughs, "Well I don't have a problem with it. I can't speak for him though. What's wrong?"
    She shakes her head, "I mean it's not creepy. It's just... I delivered him. I was so afraid that he was going to... Just seing him so big and healthy just fills my heart."
    Bill smiles, "I know. I am so grateful that you helped deliver my Son. Michelle you saved his life. Of course you would have an attachment to him. I understand."
    She sighs, "It doesn't seem odd?"
    He stands up, "No. I mean maybe he can use his Aunt Michelle. I still don't know how long it will be for Ava to wake up. If she wakes up."
    Michelle sighs, "Bill I'm sorry that I wasn't able to help Ava the way I helped HB."
    Bill smiles, "I know. But you are a great doctor. And a great mother. And to me a really good friend. My best friend."
    She grins, "Your my best friend too. You always have been."
    The two sit back down.

    Ravenwood:


    The imposter is under hypnosis.
    Diane turns to Chandler, "Okay now calmly ask her your questions."
    Chandler turns to her, "Hello. It's Dr. Tyler. Now I need you to tell me a few things. First of all what is your real name?"
    She is staring, "Sabrina."
    He nods, "Okay Sabrina. How did you meet or find out about Annie Dutton."
    She goes on, "She fell from the sky. Like an angel. She had a parachute... she told me she was getting rid of something. She needed a place to stay so we became roommates. She was my first friend. She was so cool and so smart. I admired her so much."
    Chandler nods, "Okay. So how did you meet Teri Demarco?"
    Sabrina continues, "We met her in the Islands. She was a cop. She had an accident and was in a coma. Annie convincded me to steal her identity. We found a surgeon to do the plastic surgery."
    Chandler goes on, "What happened with you and Annie?"
    Sabrina's voice fills with anger, "We grew a part. Our plan didn't work out. I got the surgery for nothing. So she ditched me. My only friend... but she left her diary. So I went to Springfield. I wanted to find her. I had to impersonate Teri."
    Chandler nods, "And when you got to Springfield? What happened?"
    She goes on, "She wasn't there. So I decided to try and be more like her. I already knew how she walked and talked. The Dinah thought I was her and.... I became Annie. I had information from her diary. I read it cover to cover."
    Reva is staring in shock this whole time.
    Chandler asks the big question, "Do you know where Annie is now?"
    Sabrina nods, "While I was gone... I found her. I told her everything. She wasn't happy. She said she had to get home...."
    Reva jumps up, "Where was she? Where did you see her?"
    Sabrina snaps out of it.
    Diane stands, "Reva you can't do that."
    Reva panics, "Please. Tell me where Annie is?"
    She is staring back into space. She's not responding again.

    Cemetary:
    Cassandra and Jonathan look down at Tammy's grave.
    Jonathan reads it, "Tammy Layne Winslow Randall. Beloved By All."
    Cassandra nods, "She really was."
    He sighs, "It still just... I don't think I'm ever going to get used to it. I really don't."
    She sighs, "I know that I never will. But a part of me doesn't want to."
    He sits back, "This whole thing with Liz and Aubrey...."
    She turns to him, "What's going on there?"
    He sighs, "I'm not sure myself. Because, at the end of the day.... I don't know if I am ever going to be over Tammy. I don't think I could possibly love someone the way that I loved her. She was the true love of my life. We didn't even get a chance..."
    He starts crying.
    She holds him, "I know. It's not fair. There are so many times I wish I had been the one who died that night. Not her. Any mother would lay down her life in a second for her child. But I think that's what Tammy did. Sarah wasn't her biological child. But she loved her. She died making sure that Sarah's Daddy wasn't taken from her."
    Jonathan nods, "I don't know if I told you but her last word was 'Sarah'."
    She sobs, "That's my Tammy."
    The two cry by Tammy's grave.

    Lewis Fashion:
    Mindy is fixing her clothes, "I'm sorry Rusty. But I'm with Rick now. I am going to stay with Rick?"
    Rusty sighs, "Why? Because you feel obligated? Because you ruined his marriage to Beth?"
    She sighs, "I didn't ruin his marriage to Beth. I opened up his eyes to the fact that she loved Phillip. And that hurt him. But it had to be done sooner or later."
    Rusty shakes his head, "So he needs to move from one messed up, loveless relationship to another? Does that sound right to you?"
    Mindy rubs her head, "I can't hurt Rick. I won't."
    Suddenly she looks out the window of her office and sees Rick walk in the building.
    She gasps, "Oh God! Not now."
    Rusty sees him, "Maybe it's time to tell him."
    She throws Rusty's shirt at him, "You get dressed. I am going to walk him away. Go."
    Mindy walks out, "Rick."

    Rick smiles, "I wanted to surprise you. Let's go in your office."
    She shakes her head, "No. Let's go have lunch. My treat."
    Rick laughs, "Are you okay? Your hair is all messed up."
    Mindy sighs, "Oh I fell asleep at my desk."
    The two walk out the front doors.
    Rusty sneaks out the back.
    He is walking to his car.
    Roxie is standin by it, "Hey brother. Having fun?"
    Rusty is surprised to see her.




    Woods:
    Mallet is driving around looking for Dinah.
    He sees a trail of footprints leading towards the woods.
    He gets out of his car and follows them.
    As he walks he sees Dinah sitting on the ground.
    He runs over, "Dinah what are you doing? It's freezing out here."
    He takes off his coat and puts it around her.
    Dinah cries, "My Little Girl!"
    Mallet holds her, "I'm so sorry Babe. I'm so sorry. I wish there was some way I could fix this."
    She sobs, "It's all my fault. I gave her away. I should have protected her! I should have held onto her!"
    He shakes his head, "No. Don't you say that. This isn't your fault. This is not your fault."
    She nods, "Yes it is. It's always my fault. My Baby with Hart! She died! The baby that I was carrying for Cassie and Edmund. She died! Now the one baby. The one daughter I thought I finally had..... she's gone."
    Mallet hugs her, "I'm sorry Dinah. But you are not responsible for her death."
    Dinah sobs, "Why? Why don't I feel it? I don't feel like my daughter is dead. I just... I mean this past year I thought about her all the time. Because it felt like she was close to me. Like she was here."
    Dinah keeps picturing her her daughter face as a baby.

    Harley's House:
    Belinda rolls her eyes.
    Harley looks at her, "Now I'm not your mother?"
    Belinda scoffs, "You've never been my mother. You adopted me. That was after my first adoptive mother died! She wasn't my real Mom either!"
    Harley sits on her bed, "I'm sorry about your mother. But I love you so much Belinda."
    She shakes her head, "No Angela is the one you love. Because she was your baby when you called her Sydney! Then when you were finally able to adopt her you accidentally adopted me!"
    Harley sighs, "I know that we didn't expect you. But you were our surprise! The gift we didn't expect."
    She shakes her head, "No. You just wanted to make her happy. Now she's fine and loves it here. But I still don't! I don't love you. I don't love Gus. I don't love Zach or Jude or Susan! I just want my real Mom! But I don't know who or where she is!"
    Harley cries, "I'm sorry but I don't know where your biological mother it. Gus and I tried to find her but Jeffrey couldn't get anything."
    Belinda cries, "I just don't like it here."
    Harley wipes her tears, "Come on. Isn't there something?"
    She sighs, "Cyrus is fun. And he's honest and treats me like a grown up. But he's just your boyfriend. He's not my Dad. I don't have a Dad or a Mom."
    Harley puts her hand on Belinda's shoulder.
    Belinda cries, "Leave me alone!"
    Harley gets up and walks out of the room.
    Harley slowly shuts the door.
    Harley sits on the floor and cries.

    Malah House:


    Dinah is upstairs lying in her bed.
    Vanessa walks over and sits with her, "Darling. Baby Anthony is crying. I think he could really use his mother."
    Dinah shakes her head, "No. I can't. It's not safe. Everything that I touch falls apart."
    Vanessa sighs, "Dinah that is not true. You know that it is just is not at all true."
    Dinah cries, "Then why have all my babies died?"
    Vanessa rubs her back, "That's not true either. You still have Anthony. And he needs you. How about I go get him?"
    Dinah sobs, "No! Just go away!"

    Downstairs Mallet answers the door.
    Jeffrey walks in, "Hey Mallet. You said it was urgent so I'm here."
    Mallet nods, "Thank you Jeffrey. Did you bring the information that I asked for?"
    Jeffrey pulls out a file, "I did but for some reason parts of the information is missing."
    Mallet nods, "Oh I should have told you. Jeffrey... I'm sorry but I took the file from your office."
    Jeffrey shakes his head, "What!?!"
    Mallet sighs, "I'm sorry but I had to find out then and couldn't find you. But the important part is I told Dinah. She took it pretty rough. I just wanted to find out more information. Maybe help her get closure."
    Jeffrey is confused, "What more do you need to know?"
    Mallet sighs, "Jeffrey I want to find out a few things... uh stuff about her. Pictures. Where she's buried."
    Jeffrey looks at him, "Buried?"
    Mallet looks at the stairs, "Listen. I don't want Dinah to hear. I mean she reacted very bad when I told her that her daughter had died."
    Jeffrey stops him, "Mallet that is.... that's not the truth."
    Mallet is in shock and confusion.



    Outskirts:



    Rufus Taylor walks into the bar.
    He smiles, "Finally something real."
    Rufus sits at the bar.
    The bartender is surprised by him, "Uh... can I get you a drink?"
    He nods, "Uh... yeah I'm driving so just get me a water please. Thank you."
    Rufus looks around.
    He talks to herself, "Well... this is Springfield. It sure isn't Pasadena. But that's it's appeal. Maybe I can start a new life here. Or start something here. How much drama can happen in a small midwestern town?"
    The water is sat down.
    Rufus takes the drink.
    Two big guys walk up.
    The first guy laughs, "Well hey I didn't know the circus was in town! What a surprise!"
    The second guy chuckles, "Nah Mitch! This looks like more of a whore. Yep definatly a whore."
    Rufus scoffs, "You boys couldn't handle this whore. But maybe if you want to give it a try."
    Mitch backs up, "Hey... there's something weird about you. What do you think Sonny?"
    Sonny grins, "Well it looks like one of those freaks you see on TV."
    Mitch grabs Rufus, "We know what to do with freaks like you."
    Rufus kicks, "Let go of me! What the hell?"
    They drag Rufus outside.



    Company:



    Ashlee and Buzz walk inside.
    They just got back from visisting Doris.
    Ashlee takes off her coat, "Did she look okay to you Buzz? I mean I know she said she was fine but was she?"
    Buzz sighs, "Well I'm sure she misses you. But she seemed like she was doing okay. She's a strong woman."
    Ashlee nods, "Well I just hope she's okay. I mean I know she acts tough but I'm really worried about her."
    Buzz hugs Ashlee, "We're all praying for her honey."
    She sits at the counter, "I just can't believe she's gotten into so much trouble."
    Buzz nods, "Well you know in politics some people get caught up in it. Bribary leads to a lot more."
    She sighs, "I just... I wouldn't have left town if I had known how difficult her job was for her."
    He pours coffee, "Come on. You and Coop deserved it after everything you guys went through."
    She nods, "Well yeah I thought so too."
    He hands her her mug, "What do you mean you thought so? Didn't you have a good time in Europe?"
    She nods, "Well yeah of course. I've never even been overseas. It was amazing. It was a great experience."
    Buzz looks at her, "What about Coop? Did he enjoy it?"
    Ashlee looks at her coffee, "Coop... he enjoyed it. I'm sure he did."
    Buzz stares at her for a moment.



    Bauer Home:



    Rick is cleaning the house.
    It's his day off.
    There is a knock at the door.
    He answers the door.
    Roxie is standing there, "Hello Rick."
    He smiles, "Hi come on in. What brings you by?"
    She walks in, "Well I have something I'd like to share with you."
    He shuts the door, "Well I'm intrigued."
    She sighs, "Rick I... I really don't want to be the one to have to do this but someone has too."
    Rick worries, "Well what's going on Roxie? Is everything okay?"
    She pulls out an envelope, "The other day I was at Lewis Fashion. I was going to stop by and see Marah."
    He nods, "Yeah I think I saw you there. I was visiting Mindy."
    She sighs, "Yeah I saw a lot too. And I took some pictures Rick."
    She hands him the envelope.
    Rick holds it, "What is this?"
    She looks into his eyes, "Rick... I can't even say it. Just open it. And prepare yourself."
    Rick is confused but opens it.
    He pulls out a few pictures.
    He shocked to see them.
    Pictures of a half naked Mindy and Rusty making out on her desk.

    Malah House:
    Vanessa walks downstairs, "What's going on?"
    Mallet is talking with Jeffrey, "What are you saying O'Neill. I saw your file. It said Dinah's daughter died in a fire."
    Jeffrey sighs, "So your the one who mixed up all of my files? Mallet! That was for another case. You mixed up the papers for that one with Dinah's."
    Mallet is in shock, "What are you saying?"
    Vanessa stares, "Are you telling us that Dinah's child is not dead at all. That it's alive."
    Jeffrey nods, "Very much so and there is more."
    Mallet stares, "What? Oh my God. O'Neill we need more. We need to find this girl."
    Jeffrey sighs, "Well it's won't take long she's pretty close."
    Vanessa is confused, "How close? We need information. A city. Address."
    Jeffrey nods, "350 Kensington Road."
    Vanessa looks at him, "Kensington Road? In Springfield?"
    Mallet shakes his head, "Wait that's.... yeah that's Harley's address."
    Jeffrey nods, "Yes Mallet. Belinda Aitoro. Gus and Harley's daugther they adopted last year. She is Dinah's biological daughter."
    Mallet is in shock, "I can't believe this. Your telling me that Dinah's daughter is alive and in Springfield?"
    Dinah runs down the stairs, "My daughter!"
    They all turn to her.



    Old Cabin:


    Edmund is tied up.
    He can barely sit up.
    Suddenly he hears footsteps.
    He shouts, "Hey! Hey! Help! Help me! Somebody please help me! Please! Please, please, please-"
    The door opens up.
    Someone walks in wearing a huge hooded coat.
    A mask covers the face.
    Edmund backs up, "Your back! Who are you! Your my kidnapper!"
    The kidnapper places food and water in front of Edmund.
    Edmund lunges out.
    The kidnapper kicks him with heavy boots.
    Edmund falls back, "Oh God! Please! It's been weeks. What do you want from me? What?"
    The kidnapper slowly walks out and locks the door.
    He crawls, "Please! Let me out please! I'm dying in here!"
    The kidnapper listens at the door.
    Edmund continues to plead and beg to be released.
    The kidnapper places their gloved hand on the door.

    PART TWO:

    Company:
    Ashlee stands up, "I think I should get going. I have a lot to do today. I have a paper to write."
    Buzz looks at her, "So Ashlee what was it? What was it that made you want to become a doctor?"
    She smiles, "I don't know. I guess just learning how to be healthy myself, I wanted to help others. I want a job where I can really make a difference. Even if it's one person at a time."
    Buzz nods, "Well I'm happy for you Ashlee. I mean it's just so cool seeing how you've grown up and matured into such an amazing young woman. I know you have a bright future."
    She grins, "Yeah. I'm so excited. I finally know what I want in life. I mean I know I'll be on my own for a lot of it but I kind of like independence you know?"
    He looks at her, "What about Coop?"
    She nods, "Oh yeah Coop... Well Coop..."
    Suddenly they hear a voice, "Someone say my name?"
    They turn to see him in the doorway.
    Ashlee is surprised, "Coop."
    Buzz runs over, "Son!"
    Coop hugs him, "Dad! Oh man it feels good to be here."
    Ashlee is still standing at the counter, "Hi Coop."
    Coop nods, "Hey Ashlee."
    Buzz notices some tension.


    Malah House:
    Dinah runs to everyone, "My daughter! Where is my daughter? She's alive! I knew it I knew it!"
    Jeffrey nods, "Dinah your daughter. The Doctor who delivered her. His name was doctor Driscoll. You had him take your child and find her a nice home right?"
    She nods, "Yeah. I didn't know his name."
    He sighs, "Dr. Driscoll raised the child as his own with his wife. And his niece was Baby Sydney. The little girl that Gus and Harley raised. She now goes by Angela. After the Driscoll's died Harley and Gus adopted Angela and her adoptive sister Belinda."
    Mallet holds Dinah, "Babe. Belinda is your daughter."
    Dinah gasp, "Oh my... Oh my God!"
    Vanessa shakes her head, "This is just... a lot to take in."
    Dinah runs to the livingroom.
    She digs through a bag.
    Mallet walks over, "That's Clarissa's stuff."
    Dinah nods, "She left it here. She has a picture of Belinda. I haven't met Belidna in person. Otherwise I would have known."
    Mallet nods, "I remember. You said she looked familiar in the picture."
    Dinah finds it, "Oh my God! That's her! That's my baby! Little Chamberlin. I named her after your maiden name Mom."
    Vanessa cries, "That's beautiful."
    Dinah looks up, "She's here! She's in town! I have to get her!"
    Jeffrey sighs, "Dinah she's probably in school."
    Dinah runs to the door, "She's my daughter! I have to see her!"
    Dinah runs out the door.
    Mallet and Jeffrey run after her.

    Bauer Home:
    Rick sits with the pictures.
    Roxie sits with him, "I'm so sorry Rick. I just... I thought you should know. Maybe it was a mistake."
    He shakes his head, "No Roxie you did the right thing."
    Roxie sighs, "I hope so. Rick I... know you care for Mindy but maybe it's time you faced facts that she is just not the woman for you."
    Rick takes a deep breathe, "Mindy will be home soon. I need to confront her when she gets here."
    She nods, "Rick do you want me to be here?"
    Rick still hasn't taken his eyes off the pictures, "No. I think you should leave. Thank you Roxie."
    Roxie hugs him, "Oh Rick I...."
    Roxie stands and walks out the door.
    Minutes later the kitchen door opens.

    Mindy walks in, "I'm home! Hey I think we have the house to ourselves for a while. How about we put our time to good use."
    Mindy walks into the livingroom.
    Rick is on the couch still.
    She sees how upset he is, "Rick what's the matter?"
    Rick turns the pictures towards her, "Is there something you want to share with me?"
    Mindy is shocked by what she sees.

    Outskirts:
    Rufus is dragged into the ally.
    They throw him down.
    He screams, "Get the hell away from me you sick mother-"
    Mitch kicks him, "You watch your mouth freak show!"
    Sonny picks up a trash can, "See this. Trash. That's what you are my friend. Trash!"
    He pours the trash all over Rufus.
    Rufus kicks him in the crotch.
    Rufus tries to run.
    Mitch grabs him and holds a knife to his throat.
    Mitch smiles, "You picked the wrong bar and the wrong night. I have had a lot to drink and I have no idea what I am capable of right now. If I were you I woudl be terrified."
    Suddenly they see a woman walk over.
    Mitch looks over, "Hey woman you need to get your butt outta here!"
    She walks closer.

    It's Cassandra, "I don't think so."
    Sonny looks up, "You get gone bitch!"
    She pulls out a gone, "No way Jackasses!"
    Mitch is freaked, "You put that down! You have no idea what your doing!"
    She nods, "Oh yes I do! You let my friend go or else we're gonna see your brains all over the place."
    Mitch shakes his head, "You wouldn't."
    She grins, "You have no idea who I am do you? I would be horrified if I were you!"
    Mitch puts the knife away.
    He helps Sonny up.
    They walk back in the bar.
    Rufus looks at Cassandra, "Who are you?"
    She grins, "Your Fairy GodMother."

    Old Cabin:
    Edmund is still tied up.
    He is banging his head against the door, "Please! Please! I just... I need you to just let me out! Please!"
    The kidnapper stares at the door.
    Edmund cries, "Please! I don't beg much but I am desperate. I have my love Cassie! She needs me. She needs me more than she herself realizes it but she does!"
    The kidnapper looks down at the doorknob.
    Edmund sobs, "I have a daughter! Ava! She's in a coma right now. But she'll wake up. And I need to be there when she does! I need to be the father that she deserves."
    The kidnapper places the hand on the doorknob.
    Edmund continues, "Ava has a son. He needs me. He's my Grandson. I need him he's all I have left of her!"
    The kidnapper gets ready to turn it but suddenly back away.
    The kidnapper grabs a bag and runs out the door.
    The door locks.
    Edmund screams, "Please! Please!"
    Edmund lays his head on the ground.
    He can't stop shaking from the cold.



    Harley's House:


    Harley walks inside with Belinda.
    Harley is angry, "I can't believe this! I had to pick you up early from school for fighting?"
    Belinda scoffs, "That kid was calling me names. He said girls couldn't fight so I had to prove him wrong."
    Harley sighs, "You are in the 7th grade. You need to focus on being a kid not fighting!"
    Belinda shakes her head, "It doesn't matter they kicked me out of school! I don't have to go back."
    Harley sighs, "They didn't kick you out. You were suspended. You will be back next week."
    Belinda shakes her head, "Don't count on it!"
    She runs upstairs.
    Harley shouts, "Get back here!"
    The doorbell rings.
    Harley answers.
    Dinah is at the door, "Harley-"
    Harley sighs, "Sweetie I am busy right now. Can we talk later?"
    Dinah looks around, "Where is she?"
    Harley stanad in front of her, "Who?"
    Belinda runs downstairs, "I'm not going back to school! You can't make me!"
    Dinah stares in shock.
    Harley grabs Belinda's arm, "You don't talk to your mother like that!"
    Dinah runs to them, "Get your hands off my daughter!!!!"
    They both turn to her in shock.

    Coop is hugging Buzz, "It's so great to see you Dad."
    Buzz smiles, "Look at you. God I missed you!"
    Coop looks over at Ashlee, "Hi."
    She nods, "Hey Coop."
    Buzz backs away, "Don't let me stand between you two you must have missed each other these past few weeks of being a part."
    Ashlee walks over to Coop, "Did you have a good flight?"
    He nods, "Yeah."
    The two kiss.
    Buzz notices that the passion seems to have disappeared.
    Ashlee looks at her watch, "You know sweetie I'd love to stay but I have my classes. So you can get settled in and I'll see you later?"
    He nods, "Sure have a good class."
    Ashlee walks out.
    Coop grabs his bags, "I'm assuming my old room is available. I'm just going to take these upstairs and unpack."
    Buzz steps in front of him, "Not just yet."
    Coop laughs, "What Dad? Do you want something?"
    Buzz nods, "Oh hell yeah. I want to know what is going on between you and Ashlee. Coop?"
    Coop is at a loss for words.

    Harley and Belinda are arguing.
    Dinah runs over, "Get your hands off my daughter!"
    Harley turns to her, "Dinah what are you talking about?"
    Mallet and Jeffrey rush in.
    Mallet sighs, "Dinah..."
    Harley looks at them all, "What is going on?"
    Jeffrey turns to Harley, "We need to talk right now."
    Dinah walks to Belinda, "Do you know who I am?"
    Belinda stares at her.
    Harley steps between them, "Dinah. What are you talking about?"
    Jeffrey sighs, "Harley there's something you need to know."
    Harley looks at Belinda, "Go upstairs."
    Dinah shakes her head, "No. Don't send her away!"
    Harley scoffs, "Dinah stop it! Belinda go upstairs."
    Belinda slowly walks upstairs.
    She looks at Dinah the whole way.
    Dinah stares at her as she leaves.
    Jeffrey walks to Harley, "Listen. I found out that Belinda's biological mother is Dinah. Dinah had her in Europe and had to give her up. The Driscoll's got her and... well you know the rest."
    Harley is in shock, "This can't be possible... I don't understand. Are you telling me that Belinda is Dinah's daughter."
    Dinah nods, "Yes. My daughter. And I'd like her back rught now."
    Harley is shocked by Dinah's demand.



    Mansion:



    Cassandra walks Rufus into the house.
    Rufus looks around, "Oh my God! This place is... it's like a castle or something. I mean I saw it on top of the hill but... you live here?"
    She nods, "Oh yes. This is my mansion. And you are in my town."
    Rufus stares at everything, "You are one loaded bitch huh? What do you do? Or who do you do? Whatever it is I want in."
    She laughs, "Oh I am the CEO of Spaulding Enterprises."
    Rufus is speechless, "Wow you must be a freaking billionaire."
    She nods, "Something like that."
    Rufus grins, "You are like my idol."
    Cassandra walks around him, "You are a very interesting... woman? Yes. This style of yours..."
    Rufus nods, "Sexy?"
    She sighs, "Not the word I was thinking of. Now this may be a hot look where you come from but here in Springfield someone dressed like that is either a prositute or... well you."
    Rufus looks at her, "What did you mean before? About being my fairy godmother? I don't get it."
    She smiles, "Well I saved your life which means it belongs to me now. And I have a job for you."
    Rufus sighs, "Sorry Babe. But I have a job. And I don't need to be some maid or crap like that."
    Cassandra puts her hand on Rufus's face, "Oh Babe. The job I'm talking about is different. Do you know much about being a Corporate Espionage?"
    Rufus is interested.



    Mall:



    Marah and Marina are shopping.
    Marina is looking at clothes, "I hate this. I can't buy anything because nothing fits longer than a week."
    Marah laughs, "Who wears the same outfit more than once anyways? Marina I told you that I'm going to get you cute outfits for your maternity."
    Marina sighs, "I didn't expect to gain all of this weight so fast."
    Marah rubs her belly, "I'm so happy for you sweetie! And I have two little nieces or nephews."
    Marina nods, "Oh yeah that one girl is pregnant. Aubrey right?"
    Marah nods, "Yes. I really like her. She reminds me of Tammy. She's really good for Jonathan. Much better than you know who."
    Marina smiles, "Oh yes. I have my share of issues with Lizard Spaulding."
    Marah laughs, "I think I'll use that. I'm really just worried about my brother. I mean I have to be nice because he likes Lizzie but I know that he should stay with Aubrey."
    Marina looks down, "Well yeah you just want your brother to be happy whether it's with one person or another."
    Marah nods, "Well yeah. But I want him to be with someone who can love him for who he is and appreciate him."
    Marina agrees, "I know Marah. I want the same thing you do!"
    Marah turns to her, "Marina? Are we talking about Jonathan? Or are we talking about Shayne?"
    Marina is speechless.

    Harley's House:
    Harley stares at Dinah, "What are you talking about? You just found this out? Now you just wanted to swing by and take my daughter?"
    Dinah shakes her head, "No. She's my daughter. My daughter! I carried her. I gave birth to her."
    Harley nods, "Then you gave her away."
    Dinah goes to hit her but Mallet pulls her back, "Dinah. Dinah."
    Jeffrey walks over, "Harley listen. For a little while Dinah thought her child was dead. She is a little emotional. You need to understand that she is just wanting to see her daughter."
    Dinah shakes her head, "You don't have to speak for me Jeffrey. Harley that is my daughter. She is my daughter."
    Harley shakes her head, "No. I'm sorry Dinah but we have a family here. Okay? Me and my family are happy?"
    Dinah scoffs, "Family? With who? Gus? Where the hell is Gus? From what I here he is living at the Beacon and being a jerk to everyone."
    Harley sighs, "That is really none of your business Dinah. Okay you need to get out of my house right now."
    Dinah laughs, "Oh God! You are pathetic. You just can't accept what is happening here."
    Harley shouts, "What are you talking about?"
    Dinah shouts back, "Harley I saw it when I came in here. It's obvious why you are afraid of me taking her. Because she'd be happy with me. It's clear that she hates you!"
    Harley gets furious.



    Bauer Home:



    Mindy holds the pictures.
    She looks through them of her making out with Rusty.
    She looks at them, "Rick... where? Where did you get these from?"
    Rick stares at her, "What? Why the hell does that matter to you?"
    She shouts, "Just tell me?"
    Rick stands up, "You are nuts."
    Mindy nods, "I knew it! It was her wasn't it? It was her. Roxie Shayne brought you these pictures!"
    Rick turns to her, "So what if she did? Does that make them disapear? Do I have to forget I saw them?"
    She sighs, "Don't you see? Rick she is trying to break us up! She wants you! And most of all she wants to hurt me and ruin my life! She is a psychopath who has to be stopped!"
    Rick scoffs, "Oh my God! Roxie didn't do this to us Mindy. You did! You are the one who cheated on me with Rusty Shayne!"
    Mindy shakes her head, "No! Roxie did this."
    He laughs, "Are you joking? Are you going to tell me that what she pushed you and you fell into his naked arms?"
    Mindy sighs, "Rick... It's not what it looks like. I didn't cheat on you."
    Rick holds the pictures, "Then what the hell do you call this?"
    She takes them, "But this is all that happened. I stopped it before it got to far."
    Rick stares at her, "If this isn't to far for you, then maybe you are just this type of person Mindy."
    Rick walks out of the room.

    PART TWO:

    Mall:
    Marah stares at Marina, "Are you talking about you and Shayne?"
    Marina sighs, "Okay just... don't be mad at me. But look Shayne and I have been getting close again. And he wants to raise my child. Doesn't that mean something?"
    Marah sighs, "Sweetheart. He wants to raise your baby with Rocky. He is in love with Rocky."
    Marina nods, "I get what your saying. But they have been having problems for a long time now. I'm not even sure if Rocky wants the baby. And... Shayne and I, we kissed."
    Marah gasp, "Oh my God! Are you kidding me? You kissed Shayne? When?"
    She sighs, "Okay we kissed on New Year. That was just spontaneous. We acted like it wasn't a big deal. Then two weeks ago... we kissed again. And we didn't talk about it. But... I think there is something happening."
    Marah turns, "I can't believe this! This is huge Marina! I mean Shayne's not even... you know."
    Marina nods, "I know. But maybe he has been confused about his sexuality. And maybe Shayne still has feelings for me."
    Marah sits down, "I don't even know what to say. I mean I know that Rocky and Shayne care for each other. But I guess a part of me always wanted you to be my sister in law."
    Marina sits by her, "Does that mean that if this does happen that you will support us?"
    Marah nods, "Of course. I just want you both to be happy. Maybe you and Shayne are meant for each other."
    Marina hugs her.

    Harley's House:
    Harley is angry with Dinah, "You are crossing the line Dinah. You are not welcome in my house. Get out!"
    Dinah shakes her head, "Not without my daughter!"
    Harley looks at Mallet, "You are a cop arrest her. Unless you want me to do it?"
    Mallet sighs, "Harley please try and understand where Dinah is coming from. Belinda is her daughter."
    Harley shakes her head, "No. Belinda is my daughter. Gus and I adopted her a year ago and you can't just walk in here and try to take her away from us. No. Jeffrey tell them."
    Jeffrey sighs, "Okay this is very complicated. Dinah needs a DNA test done first."
    Dinah nods, "Oh I'll do it. I'll do it right now."
    Jeffrey turns to Harley, "Listen. Your adoption wasn't completly legalized since we couldn't locate her birth certificate for a while. And now we have it but..."
    Dinah looks over, "Harley, I am not going to let you keep my daughter from me. I'm sorry but I can't and I won't."
    Harley sighs, "No. I'm sorry. If you think I'm going to let you take her without a fight, then you are even crazier than I thought."
    Dinah and Harley stare each other down.
    Belinda walks down the stairs.

    Mansion:
    Cassandra walks around Rufus, "You have a nice bone structure. And a cute little figure too."
    Rufus nods, "I know it Babe. And I own it."
    She grins, "I bet you do. I think you can use that."
    Rufus is curious, "So what is this you say about being a corporate espionage? What do you mean exactly?"
    She turns to him, "Listen. I have taken over Spaulding Enterprises. Which is a great accomplishment. But I need more. I am going after Lewis Enterprises next. They're done."
    Rufus smiles, "Lewis Enterprises?"
    She nods, "I'm going to have you work your way up. You have heard of MM Lewis Fashion right?"
    Rufus sighs, "Ugh. Yes. That overrated design team. They spew their crap all over france and now it's back here. I don't get what people like about it. It's so dull."
    Cassandra sighs, "Well you'll get to see a lot of it. They are looking for some new design ideas for their new line. And I have just the person to help them."
    Rufus shakes his head, "Oh no. I have my own thing. I don't need this. Sorry. No."
    She laughs, "It's not for real remember? You will gain their trust. Mindy and Marah. You'll get inside information on the business and family. Billy, Vanessa, Josh, Bill, Shayne, and espeically Reva Shayne."
    Rufus backs up, "I don't know if I want to get caught up in this. I'm looking for a fresh start."
    She grins, "Then why not start out on top?"
    Rufus smiles.

    Company:
    Coop looks at Buzz, "What are you talking about? Nothing is going on with Ashlee and I."
    Buzz sighs, "Don't lie to me Son."
    Coop shakes his head, "I don't even get what you are talking about? I've been in town for like a minute."
    Buzz looks at him, "Well Ashlee has been acting odd ever since she came back. And then you return and you two don't seem excited to see each other."
    Coop walks past him, "Dad come on. I'm just having jet lag. And Ashlee is really worried about her mother going to prison."
    Buzz follows Coop, "I saw the way you looked at each other. It was awkward. You acted like two stranger."
    Coop sighs, "Dad we're fine. Look just don't worry about Ashlee and I. Okay? It's okay."
    Buzz shakes his head, "No it's not. If it were okay then why doesn't Ashlee have her engagement ring on?"
    Coop puts his bags down, "She took off?"
    He nods, "Yes she did."
    Coop looks down, "Oh."
    Buzz sighs, "She told me that it didn't fit her finger anymore."
    Coop takes his stuff to his room, "Well yeah Dad. I mean that's probably true. You know she lost weight."
    Buzz follows him, "Probably? Coop what happened in Europe."
    Coop turns to him, "Dad don't worry about it. Look Ashlee and I each grew up a lot there. And now, just don't worry about us."
    Coop shuts his door.
    Buzz can't stop worrying.

    Bauer Home:
    Mindy walks into the kitchen, "Rick. Can we please talk about this?"
    Rick turns to her, "Now you want to talk? If you weren't happy before then you should have said something. Not after you go screw Rusty Shayne at your office!"
    Mindy sighs, "I'm trying to tell you that I didn't sleep with Rusty. And I was happy with you. I am happy with you! But I just got caught up in the moment. I was stressed out from work. I have been feuding with Roxie latley because I know she wants you. It's just so messed up."
    Rick shakes his head, "Oh it is very messed up. This whole thing, our whole relationship is messed up."
    She walks towards him, "Then we can fix it."
    He shakes his head, "I don't think we can."
    Mindy nods, "Yes we can as long as we want to then we can Rick!"
    He sighs, "Mindy, I don't know if I want to. I am honestly starting to think that maybe all of this was just me trying to get over losing Beth. And it wasn't right from the very beginning."
    She shakes her head, "No! Don't let Roxie do this. Don't let her make you believe that we were a mistake."
    Rick sighs, "My kids are going to be here soon. So is my Dad and Michelle. I'd like it if I could be alone with my family. Could you just leave Mindy? Please?"
    Mindy slowly walks upstairs.
    She turns to him before she gets her things, "Rick I'm... I am so sorry."
    He nods, "So am I."
    Mindy goes to pack up her things.

    Harley's House:
    Belinda walks down the stairs.
    Dinah walks over, "My Baby Girl."
    Harley steps in front of her, "Belinda sweetie go upstairs. We're having a grown up talk."
    Belinda looks past Harley to Dinah, "It's true isn't it? You really are my mother aren't you?"
    Dinah cries, "Yes. Yes I am. I am your mother."
    Harley shakes her head, "Get out. Dinah get out. Mallet get her out of here right now."
    Mallet takes Dinah's hand, "Another day Babe."
    Dinah looks at Belinda, "Mommy is going to come back for you sweetheart. I'm not letting you go away again."
    Mallet walks Dinah out.
    Jeffrey looks at Harley, "I am so sorry that it went down this way. I never meant for this-"
    Harely stops him, "Get out. The boys will be home soon and so will Angel so I need you to go. Please."
    Jeffrey leaves.
    Harley turns to Belinda, "I am sorry. Did she scare you?"
    Belinda keeps staring at the door, "That was her? My real mother?"
    A tear runs down Harley's face.

    It is an average day in Springfield and no one is aware of the horrible news about to hit!

    Towers: Bill and Ava are eating, "So Ava, how is it working at Spaulding?"
    "Well I like it. The money's good and I kind of like being a part in this big buisness."
    "Like mother like daughter."
    Ava looks down at her plate.
    "Oh, sorry Ava. That didn't come out the way I planned. I just can't believe you're Olivia's child. I guess it just takes some getting used to."
    "It's okay. I'm just worried about her."
    "Is that why you brought me back to town?"
    "Yes. I wanted to help you. And Emma."
    Olivia walks up behind her with Josh, "If you really wanted to help your little sister you would stop flirting with her father." Ava turns and glares at her mother.

    Bauer House: Mindy is sitting at the table with Rick, "You have no idea how much I've missed you guys."
    "Well we've missed you too Mindy."
    "So where's Beth?"
    "She took the baby out."
    "Oh. So is she okay?"
    "Yeah. Why?"
    "Well she seems very clingy to the baby. I mean, I know about her and Alan. I've heard about the stuff that happened with you three. So you guys didn't know if you were the father?"
    "No. But now we do."
    "Yeah. So you had a paternity test? And it said you were the father?"
    "Yes. Mindy why all the questions?"
    "I'm just curious. I mean I'm sure you and Beth didn't want Alan raising this child."
    "Well..."
    "What?"
    "Beth thought that her and Alan were in love."
    "And they weren't?"
    "I mean, come on it's Alan. You know Beth deserves better."
    "Yeah, but the paternity test helped her choose?"
    "Mindy... I need to call Beth and check up, excuse me." Rick walks off leaving Mindy with her questions.

    Beacon: Jeffrey is in his room with Reva, "Have you heard from her yet?"
    "No. She won't return my calls."
    "I knew we should have told her before."
    "I know. I know. I just... I guess I didn't realize how serious you two were. I thought it was just a fling."
    "Well that's how it started. But we were something, but then she left for her job in France and I never saw her again."
    "Well now she hates me."
    "She doesn't hate you Reva. She's confused and upset. She'll come around."
    Jeffrey massages Reva's shoulders.

    Cedars: Lizzie is having an appointment with Colin, "Dr. McCabe?"
    "Yes?"
    "What have you been up to? Any girlfriends?"
    "No Lizzie not at the moment. You seeing anyone?"
    "No I've never been popular with the guys."
    Colin laughs at her.
    Lizzie looks over at him, "What?"
    "Come on Lizzie, you're a young beautiful blonde woman. What guy wouldn't be all over you?"
    "Well I guess psychopaths aren't always the best girlfriends. Neither are cancer patients."
    "Hey don't talk like that. This might not be as big of a deal as we thought. But we do need to get started." Colin calls a nurse in.

    Towers: Remy and Blake sit at a table, "Come on Remy. You're really getting on my nerves."
    "Blake do you want to be safe or not? You're the one that insisted on eating out."
    "Well I'm tired of being stuck in a stupid hotel room all day with you!"
    "I'm sorry if I'm not fun enough for you Blake, but my job is supposed to be keeping you alive. Not watching soaps and gossiping about your friends."
    "Hey, I saw you watching when I left the room. Besides, how do I know you're not one of the those cops who commits crimes just so he can solve them. I mean what if you're my stalker?"
    "You're not worth it."
    Blake grabs a glass of wine from the empty table next to them and pours it on Remy. She storms out and Remy follows after her.
    Olivia is standing with Josh as she talks with her daughter, "So Ava, you look happy. How are you Bill?"
    "I'm fine Olivia."
    Ava rolls her eyes, "What are you doing here?"
    "I'm on a date with Josh."
    Josh tries to lighten the mood, "Hey Bill. You, me and your Dad need to go fishing some time."
    Olivia doesn't let him hold her back, "So Bill, you're in town a few weeks and you're already sleeping with my daughter? Or did this start back when we were married?"
    Ava stands up, "You know what I'm tired of you trying to control me."
    "Well Ava, I'm tired of the way you talk to me."
    Josh gets a phone call. "Olivia I need to go."
    "Is it Cassie?"
    "Yes I'm sorry."
    "You know what, I don't mind. I'm not the jealous type anymore. Tell her I hope she gets better."
    Josh kisses her and leaves.
    Olivia sits down, "I guess it's just the three of us." Ava and Bill are uncomfortable.

    PART TWO:

    Bauer House: Rick comes back in the kitchen, "Sorry about that. I had to check in with Beth."
    "It's fine Rick. You're such a good husband and father."
    "Well thanks. I try."
    "Uh Rick. I heard you and Beth fighting the other night."
    "We weren't fighting. We just had a disagreement about the baby."
    "She didn't trust you. You're a doctor."
    "Yeah well she was probably right."
    "Rick I love Beth, but she doesn't need to treat you like that."
    Rick goes to the fridge, "Like what?"
    "Like you aren't a good father."
    Rick starts making a snack, "She doesn't. We just disagree sometimes. Which I understand. I mean it's her daughter."
    "It's your daughter too. Right?"
    "Well... yes of course."
    Mindy is very suspcious of Rick.

    Ravenwood: Josh walks over to Cassie's doctor, "I heard there was news about Cassie. Is she okay?"
    "Mr. Lewis. The news isn't good. We should sit." They sit down.
    "What is going on?"
    The doctor tries to explain to Josh, "The other day, Cassie was getting ready to leave, she wanted to surprise everyone. She had made great progress......"
    Josh is confused, "But?"
    "The nurses came back and she was throwing objects and screaming. She hurt one of our nurses, we had to hold her down. Unfortunatly we had to transfer her to the doctors in the San Cristobal."
    "But I wasn't informed."
    "Well she was a problem of the state. We had to do this on our own."
    "Wait what do you mean 'was'?"
    "Josh, there was a fire at that hospital. There was some sort of electrical problem and the East Wing was in flames in only a matter of minutes. The staff got as many patients out as they could but not all. They are still cleaning the place up, but Cassie didn't make it out. I'm sorry."
    "Wait, she is strong. I mean she could have got out on her own."
    "Josh, her actions were becoming dangerous and she continued to throw things and attack the nurses. They had to strap her down in the room."
    "Oh my God!"Josh covers his mouth. He is shocked to have heard the tragic ending of Cassie's life.

    Cedars: Lizzie is getting her stuff ready to leave, "Well that wasn't fun."
    "Lizzie you didn't expect this to be fun did you?"
    "No. Hey about that girlfriend problem. I am going to put my spare time into fixing it."
    "What finding me a girlfriend?"
    "Yes. You are cute, handsome, smart, sweet, pretty much the whole package. I'll find you someone."
    "Don't you have anything better to do with your time? Maybe something more possible?"
    "No." The two laugh.

    Towers: Olivia is sitting with Bill and Ava. Olivia grabs a menu, "Well I'm going to order my drink."
    Ava rolls her eyes, "Big shock there."
    Olivia looks over, "What do you mean."
    "Come on, isn't that how you got in this situation in the first place?"
    "No. And I don't understand. What the hell are you talking about?"
    Bill inturupts, "Lets not do this now."
    "No Bill, Olivia needs to hear this. You're drinking lead to Emma getting kidnapped."
    "How dare you!"
    "You are in denial!"
    "You know what I'm leaving." Olivia gets up.
    Ava follows her to elevator, "At least Emma has a parent that can take care of her now."
    "You know what Ava, maybe you shouldn't talk about things that you don't understand."
    "Well, maybe you should stick around maybe you can get that drink to go."
    Olivia slaps her daughter, "You shut your mouth!"
    Bill walks over, "Hey that's enough! Olivia I think you should leave."
    The door opens. Olivia steps in the elevator, "This isn't over." The door closes. Bill and Ava head back to the table.

    Company: Julie walks in with Matt, "So what is there to do around here now?"
    Matt walks in, "Well I guess this place is still pretty good."
    Julie goes over to a table, "So do you talk to Dylan much?"
    "No. Not really why?"
    "Just curious. I thought I might go say hi."
    "Well I think he is staying at Harley's."
    "Oh. Well I have no one to hang with. Tony's still on his honeymoon with her."
    "You mean Dinah."
    "Yeah whatever. The wedding was nice. Hey who were the bridesmaids?"
    "Uh, Harley, Olivia, and Marina."
    "Marina? That was Marina!? I can't believe that. She has grown up so much! I thought maybe that was a young girlfriend of Frank's."
    "Actually I don't think Frank has been with anyone in a while."
    "What? That's odd. To bad about him and Eleni."
    "Yeah... So how long are you in town?"
    "I don't know. I guess we'll see how things go."

    Edmund Winslow is still tied up inside a bedroom.
    Edmund opens his eyes.
    He passed out last night.
    He hasn't recieved a visit from the kidnapper in a while.
    Edmund takes a deep breathe, "This is how it's going to happen. This is how I'm going to die. Everyone was right. I'm going to die alone. No Cassie, no Ava, no Grandson, nothing."
    Suddenly he hears the door opening.
    Edmund remains quiet.

    Cassandra walks around, "I think you are going to enjoy your time here. Now let's get started on your story."
    Rufus nods, "I'm Rufus Taylor."
    She sighs, "Okay... the name Rufus. Cute. I love it. Great. But, not really what I had in mind. Maybe a nickname."
    Rufus laughs, "Well I've had boys give me a lot of nicknames, but I'm not sure you want to hear them."
    She sighs, "Okay. Well I was thinking. Rue. Rue Taylor."
    Rue turns to a mirror, "Rue Taylor. What is she like?"

    Alan Michael is there, "Hello Dad."
    Alan smiles, "Son. It's so great to see you. Come on in. Is Mel with you?"
    Alan Michael shakes his head, "No. She is not. Mel has work today. She has case she's working on. But she is also spending a lot of time helping me with my persuit of Spaulding Enterprises."
    Alan nods, "Yes. I'm confused on that. Phillip told me he was going to take over as CEO."
    Alan Michael laughs, "Well Phillip says a lot of things. But no. I'm taking the company back. Now I came over here to warn you."
    Alan is confused, "Warn me? About what?"
    Alan Michael grins, "Now you can play the good guy with everyone else but don't play it with me. We all know that Cassandra is going to be voted out of her chair soon. And you are going to be first in line to fill the chair. But I'm not going to let you get in my way Dad."
    Alan shakes his head, "I don't know what you are talking about. I have no interest to go back as CEO of Spaulding. Sure I still do business there. I work there. But I don't want to run it anymore."
    Alan Michael sighs, "Are we really going to play this game. Where you do your little, "I'm a changed man' speech?"
    Alan sighs, "I'm sorry son. But the Alan Spaulding you used to know is gone. And my days as the villian of Springfield are finally over."

    He smiles, "Good morning. I made you some food."
    She grins, "Shayne! Oh my God. I can't believe you did this for me. You are just... You're the best Shayne."
    Shayne smiles, "Well I was up and I didn't have much to do. I don't have to go to the office until this afternoon so I thought I'd surprise you with the corny breakfast in bed."
    She looks at him, "Thank you. I really appreiate this. You made all of my favorites."
    Shayne nods, "Is it cool if I hang out in here with you while you eat?"
    She smiles, "Well yeah of course. You made me breakfast. Of course you can stay."
    He sighs, "Thanks. I mean it's just us anyway."
    She is confused, "Uh. What do you mean? Us?"
    He turns to her, "Rocky's not here."
    She nods, "Oh. Oh yeah. I didn't know he left."
    Shayne sighs, "Rocky has some tests he has to take. I guess he is taking this cop thing seriously."
    Marina nods, "Well I sure do. I hate that I'm at desk duty. But I am pregnant. But don't worry about Rocky. It takes a while to become a cop."
    Shayne looks down, "Yeah. I guess so."
    Marina turns to him, "Shayne. Is that the only reason you wanted to hang out with me?"
    Shayne turns to her, "What do you mean?"

    Jonathan is putting Sarah's coat on her.
    Aubrey is wearing a big coat too.
    Aubrey walks over, "So make sure you pay close attention to what the pediatricion tells you. You need to fill me in when you get back."
    Jonathan nods, "I will. And you need to tell me whatever your doctor tells you. And I want to see the sonogram. I mean I still don't get how you accidentally made the appoinments on the same day at the same time?"
    Aubrey nods, "I know. I'm just a little forgetful. But I will go to my appointment and you'll go with Sarah. It'll be fine. Now go. We're both running late."
    Jonathan takes Sarah and leaves.
    Aubrey takes off her coat.
    She is still in her pajamas.
    She walks over the computer.
    Aubrey opens up a saved file.
    She clicks a button.
    She gets frustrated, "Why isn't this printing. Print!"

    Rafe sneaks up behind her, "What about your appointment."
    She is startled, "What the hell are you doing? How did you get in here?"
    He smirks, "I got in through the back. So I heard you say you have an appoinment."
    She she exits out on her computer.
    She stands up, "You need to get going. I'm leaving soon and I can't leave you here by yourself."
    He puts his hand towards her stomach, "Look how big you are getting."
    She smacks his hand away, "No! Just... I'm sorry but I am very protective of my child."
    Rafe laughs, "Well you certantly are eating for two. Your baby bump is getting big."
    She scoffs, "I'm going to change into my clothes. Now when I come down here I want you gone."

    Beacon:



    Harley is knocking on Gus's door.
    Olivia walks over, "Can I help you?"
    Harley sighs, "I've been calling Gus and he doesn't answer his phone. I'm worried about him. Can you let me into his room."
    Olivia sighs, "You shouldn't worry about him. He's a jerk. You were right to leave him."
    Harley sighs, "Just let me in his room. Please Olivia."
    Olivia takes out her key card and opens the door.
    Harley walks in, "Gus? Gus?"
    Olivia follows, "You know there is something wrong with him. I think he's like bipolar or something. One day he says he feels bad for me. Then another he acts all weird and hits on me. Then out of no where he starts flipping out and acting like a psycho. Now he hybernates in his room."
    Harley is in Gus's bathroom, "Oh no. Oh God!"
    Olivia turns, "What?"
    Harley walks out holding a bottle of pills, "Olivia. What are these?"
    Olivia looks, "Those are pain pills. Gus was shot two months ago remember? He was prescribed those."
    Harley sighs, "Oh God! You didn't stop him?"
    Olivia shakes her head, "Gus was in pain! He was in horrible pain. Why would I stop him?"
    Harley shouts, "Because in case you forgot, a few years ago Gus had an addiction to pain killers that almost ruined his life!"
    Olivia stares at the pills.

    PART TWO:

    Alan and Natalia's:
    Alan Michael looks at Alan, "Are you kidding? You expect me to believe that you don't want your seat back as CEO of Spaulding?"
    Alan shakes his head, "Nope. I have moved on. I have the life that I always wanted but never new I wanted."
    Alan Michael looks around, "This house is cute but it's not the mansion. I mean really?"
    Alan nods, "Really. I am happy here. This is my home. With Natalia and the baby."
    Alan Michael sighs, "That's another question. Natalia is a sweet woman. She's Mel's best friend. She is innocent, kind, caring. But she's not a Spaulding Dad."
    Alan walks away, "Natalia is a Spaulding. She's Rafe's mother. My wife and the mother of your baby brother."
    Alan Michael nods, "I know. She is family. But Dad. Look at all of your other wives. She is nothing like them. Doris, Beth, Olivia. All the others."
    Alan nods, "I know. She's more like your mother."
    Alan Michael sighs, "Don't drag her into this."
    Alan sighs, "I lost a lot of loves. Your mother. Gus's mother. Now I finally realize that the company was the other woman ruining my relationships. The one that cost me them."
    Alan Michael sighs, "Dad. This is our company. We are Spauldings. You have to atleast have some urge to take this back from Cassie."
    Alan sits down, "No. I have taken Tammy away from her. I will never forgive myself. I feel bad for Cassie. That company is going to make her life even worse. I know that."

    Mansion:
    Rue and Cassandra sit on the couch.
    Rue looks at her, "So what is my job that you are going to have me involved in with the Lewises?"
    Cassandra sits up, "Okay. You are going to be doing business with MM Lewis Fashion. Mindy and Marah Lewis. They are cousins. Now we will start there. You need to get some inside information on the business and the family. We need to know what's going on with their parents."
    Rue nods, "Okay well is there any stuff I need to know or look for while I'm doing this?"
    Cassandra sighs, "Oh yes. Let's see. Mindy's father Billy is a recovering alcoholic. Marah's mother Reva is a slut. Mindy is dating Rick Bauer. Or was I'm not sure. You can find out. Marah is in a relationship with a lawyer. Jeffrey O'Neill."
    Rue smiles, "Oh! I think I've seen him before. I saw him visiting you before right? I thought maybe he was your guy?"
    Cassandra sighs, "No. Once upon a time. But now he is with my niece Marah. I don't need to have a man holding me back anymore."
    Rue grins, "So does this mean that Jeff is up for grabs?"
    Cassandra turns to her, "No. But I do think there might be a guy that you have s shot with."
    Rue grins, "Who?"
    She sighs, "Well I'm not sure. But maybe my nephew Shayne might be interested."

    Marina's House:
    Shayne looks at Marina, "The kiss?"
    She nods, "Yeah. We've had two now. But who's counting?"
    Shayne laughs, "I uh... I don't know what to say about that."
    Marina sighs, "Shayne. I don't know what's going on between the two of us. I mean, is this more than what I think it is?"
    He looks down, "Marina, I'm with Rocky. And I'm happy with Rocky."
    Marina sighs, "You know I love my uncle. I do. But you and Rocky aren't happy. You aren't getting along. You go through these silent treatments. You guys don't even seem happy together."
    Shayne sighs, "We are having our problems. But we are trying to make things work. We are trying."
    She shakes her head, "You shouldn't have to try so hard."
    Shayne turns to her, "I know that this is a hard time for you. You are pregnant. You are mourning Danny."
    She nods, "And I'm giving you my baby."
    He sighs, "You said you wanted to give the baby to me and Rocky."
    Marina looks down.
    Shayne scoots away, "I uh... I need to get going. I have some errands I forgot about. Call me if you need something."
    Marina cries and knocks the food to the floor.

    Beacon:
    Olivia takes the pills, "These were prescribed to him by his doctors Harley. He didn't steal them."
    Harley sighs, "His Doctor's probably didn't know about his history with these! Oh God! Not again!"
    Olivia stares, "So your saying Gus is addicted to pills again."
    Harley sits, "I don't need this now! Why now?"
    Olivia looks at her, "That's right. Dinah told me about Belinda. When they find out about this, Dinah's going to get custody."
    Harley stands up, "Olivia! I thought Gus was your friend now? Why are you threatening to help take our daughter away?"
    Olivia sighs, "I don't want to do that Harley. I want to help Gus with this. He saved me. I want to return the favor. But I don't need you in the way of all of this."
    Harley sighs, "Olivia I helped him before!"
    Olivia shakes her head, "You aren't his wife anymore! You are with Cyrus Foley now. Where is he anyway?"
    Harley sighs, "He's out of town. He'll be back."
    Olivia walks over, "Harley, you need to focus on keeping your daughter. Let me take care of Gus. You know what you have to do Harley. This is it Harley. You have to decide now. Do we have a deal?"
    Harley takes a deep breathe.
    Gus walks in, "Hey. What is going on?"
    The two women turn to him.




    Farmhouse:
    Aubrey walks downstairs.
    Rafe is there.
    She isn't happy, "Rafe. I told you that you had to get going. Okay? I have my sonogram."
    He laughs, "Your sonogram? That's funny? You mean this sonogram?"
    She stares at a printed off sonogram photo, "Where did you get that?"
    He grins, "I found it. In your printer. Now you edited it to look like it was your sonogram for your baby. Now why would you need to do that if you really had an appointment?"
    Aubrey scoffs, "I don't need to explain myself to you. You need to go now. Or I will get angry for real."
    Rafe looks at her, "You know I have a little theory. Do you mind if I test it on you?"
    She walks away, "I am not going to listen to you."
    He grabs her, "Not so fast."
    She freaks ou, "Get off of me! I'm pregnant! Don't touch me!"
    He fights as she struggles.
    He puts his hand up her blouse and then pulls it out.
    Her face is pale.
    She turns to him.
    He looks down, "Oh wait. Where's your baby bump now?"
    She is speechless.
    He holds up his hand, "Oh here it is."
    He is holding a type of strapped round pillow.
    Aubrey looks down at her flat, unpregnant belly.

    Old Cabin:
    The kidnapper walks in.
    Edmund lies on the ground.
    He's not moving.
    It's hard to tell if he's breathing or not.
    Slowly the kidnapper leans down and checks his pulse.
    One can't be found.
    The kidnapper unties his hands to check his wrist for a pulse.
    Edmund's eyes open.
    He lunges for the kidnapper, "Come here!"
    The kidnapper shoves him and runs.
    Edmund finds the strength to come to his feet.
    He goes after the kidnapper.
    He make a leap.
    The two are in a struggle.
    Edmund over powers.
    They fall to the floor.
    Edmund sits up.
    He looks down at his kidnapper who is face down.
    He pulls down the hood.
    Edmund is surprised.
    Long blonde hair is sticking out of the back.
    He flips them over.
    He removes the mask.
    Edmund is shocked by who he sees.
    It's his ex wife!
    Edmund gasps, "Oh my God! Beth?"
    Beth's face looks up at Edmund.

    A day of confessions in Springfield....



    Old Cabin:



    Edmund stares at his kidnapper, "Oh my God! Beth?"
    Beth sighs, "Edmund... this is not what you are thinking."
    Edmund backs up, "You? You? Are you... Oh my God! Beth you are the one who locked me up in here?"
    Beth looks at him, "Edmund I know that you are going to think I'm nuts but I just need to explain."
    He gets up, "Save it! I am out of here! I am going to town and I am having you arrested."
    Beth grabs him, "Edmund. Edmund no! Please! Just let me explain this to you! Please?"
    Edmund shoves her, "You are a sick and twisted woman Beth! I heard that you had changed but wow!"
    Beth cries, "Edmund! Listen to me! I know that it looks like I'm the one who kdinapped you."
    He scoffs, "What? Beth you did kidnap me."
    She shakes her head, "No I didn't!"
    He turns away, "Then who the hell did?"
    She waits before she answers, "It was Lorelei. Lorelei was the one who kidnapped you Edmund."
    Edmund turns to her.
    The two stares at each other.



    Mansion:



    Cassandra is texting Rue.
    Jeffrey walks in, "Hello Cassie."
    She turns, "Oh God! Do you ever stop bothering people? Don't you have anything better to do?"
    He sits on her couch, "Well I am sitting here until you agree to listen to me Cassie."
    She shakes her head, "Listen I am not going to do this with you again. I'm not having the surgery. I am fine!"
    Jeffrey stands up, "What if your not fine? Huh? What if one day you go to sleep Cassie and you don't wake up?"
    She turns away, "You know what then I get to be reunited with Tammy again. I love my daughter."
    He sighs, "She's not your only child. What about RJ? Can you imagine Josh having to find RJ and tell him that another person he loves is dead! The only person he has left. And then Alonzo has to tell Will that he isn't coming back to Springfield because his mother is gone!"
    She looks at him, "Shut up! You shut up! I love RJ and Will! But RJ stays at boarding school and wants nothing to do with me. And Will, Alonzo is trying to keep him away from me now! So really I have nothing."
    A security guard walks in.
    He takes Jeffrey, "Come on sir."
    Jeffrey looks at Cassandra, "I'll go. But you ask yourself is all of this worth it?"
    Jeffrey walks out.
    She turns to the mirror.
    She asks herself, "Is this worth it?"



    Farmhouse:



    Aubrey covers her flat empty stomach.
    Rafe stares at her, "You are not pregnant Aubrey."
    She shakes her head, "Shut up! I... I need you to leave now please. Rafe just go!"
    Rafe sighs, "What happened? Was there ever a baby?"
    She cries, "There was a baby. In my heart. But I never was able to concieve one of my own."
    He stares, "Are you serious? All of these months and you haven't really been pregnant at all?"
    She sighs, "I was going to get pregnant! I kept seducing Jonathan but each time I failed to get pregnant."
    Rafe sighs, "How long do you plan to keep this up?"
    She looks down, "I... I wasn't going to have going on this long. I was going to fake a miscarriage. Then I thought Jonathan would feel guilty and stop this crap with Liz. But now I know that they are growing feelings for each other. And I can't lose this baby."
    Rafe takes her, "Aubrey. There is no baby. You aren't pregnant. There is no child."
    She cries, "But I want a baby! I want another baby! Sarah is my baby but now Jonathan wants to give her back to Liz! And I want a baby with Jonathan that I carry myself! I just want to have one."
    Rafe walks away, "I can't believe this. I mean I wanted to work with you. But now I can't deal with this crap. I got to get out of here."
    Aubrey grabs his arm, "I don't think so."
    He turns and looks at her.
    She is holding her fake baby bump.



    Beacon:



    Harley and Olivia turn to see Gus.
    Gus looks at them, "Why are you in my room?"
    Harley holds up the pill bottle, "What is this Gus?"
    Gus sighs, "You aren't allowed to do that. You can't do that. This is my room."
    Harley shakes her head, "I thought you were done with these. I thought we were past this. Gus, what the hell is this?"
    Gus walks in, "I am not doing anything wrong."
    She scoffs, "I can't believe you. You are popping pills again Gus! Do you remember what happened last time? It almost ruined our lives! We were never the same after that."
    Gus sits down, "Well we're done now. So what's the point."
    She shakes her head, "Well our children for starters. If you would return my phone calls you would know that Belinda's biological mother if filing for custody of her."
    Gus stands up, "What? I didn't even... Well we won't let her."
    Harley sighs, "There's more. It's Dinah. Dinah Marler is Belinda's biological mother."
    Gus is confused, "No. I don't understand."
    Harley sighs, "Of course you don't."
    Gus looks at her, "Harley I... I am so sorry. I don't know how I let this happen again. I want to get past this."
    Harley shakes her head, "Gus we tried!"
    He pleads with her, "Harley please! You helped me before you can do it again!"
    Harley looks at Olivia.

    Old Cabin:
    Edmund stares at Beth, "What are you talking about? Lorelei has been gone for some time now."
    Beth shakes her head, "Not as long as you think."
    Edmund walks over to her, "This. Is this serious Beth? Honestly? Is Lorelei back?"
    She nods, "She has been back. It's a back and forth thing now. I'll have these blackouts and then hours or even a day later I won't remember what happened. Now I realize it's her. Lorelei has been holding you captive. I don't know how she did it but she did."
    Edmund sits, "I can't believe this. I mean Lorelei left years ago didn't she?"
    Beth sighs, "She did but she came back."
    He turns to her, "When did she come back?"
    She takes a deep breathe. "Shortly after I married Alan. Lorelei took over. And she kidnapped Alan and Gus. She held them in this very cabin."
    Edmund shakes his head, "No. No. Beth that was you."
    Beth shakes her head, "No. That's what everyone thought. But it was her. Lorelei did it."
    He stands up, "I don't believe this. Are you just going to confess every crime you committed and blame it on your split personality?"
    She turns to him, "You of all people should know how real Lorelei is. Only now she has even more of a life."
    He is confused, "What do you mean by that?"
    Beth looks at him, "Lorelei has done a lot more in Springfield then anyone knows."



    Lewis Fashion:



    Rue is sitting at the desk.
    Marah smiles, "It's nice to meet you. So you wanted to help us put together our fashion show this Spring?"
    Rue nods, "Yes. I want to help you women get settled in to make your bit 2009 debut. I mean you were quite popular in Europe but in the states things are different."
    Marah nods, "Well I am from here."
    Rue smiles, "Well I know. But we all need a little help sometimes right?"
    Marah nods, "Yeah I get what you mean. With everything going on right now we need all the help we can get."
    Rue leans in, "What do you mean?"
    Marah sighs, "Oh it's business stuff. I can't really talk about."
    Rue laughs, "Come on. If we're going to work together we can't share secrets."
    Marah sighs, "Well okay. We have been offerred to move our business over to New York."
    Rue smiles, "New York? That's a great place to work in this business. Believe me."
    Marah nods, "I know. But you see Lewis Enterprises just started. So for us to relocate and work with other businesses wouldn't look so good. We are really using our family unity as a face for the company."
    Rue nods, "Oh dear. So this information could be bad. I mean it could jeopardize the business."
    Marah nods, "Oh yes."
    Rue has gotten off on a good start.

    PART TWO:

    Old Cabin:
    Edmund stares at Beth, "This story is just a little to difficult to believe right now."
    Beth looks at him, "It's not a story. Lorelei was here for a long time. She was the one who did all of those things."
    Edmund sighs, "I don't understand."
    She shouts, "Neither do I! After the mess I went through I couldn't handle it. Phillip was gone. Alan was out of control. I couldn't handle it so I allowed Lorelei to take over again. I have regretted it to this day."
    He looks at her, "So what all did Lorelei do?"
    She sighs, "The Beth who was in love with Alan, got pregnant with his child. That was her."
    He stares, "So your telling me that the crazy kidnapping Beth I heard about. Wasn't you?"
    She shakes her head, "Not very much of the time. I mean my relationship with Rick was all me. Once I married him Lorelei was gone. But a few months ago she started to fight her way back."
    He shakes his head, "I can't believe this. Lorelei Hills. I thought she was gone forever."
    Beth nods, "So did I. This could ruin my life. I finally have Phillip back. And now I could lose it all again."
    Beth cries.
    Edmund keeps staring at her.

    Mansion:
    Cassandra sighs, "Surgery. Is it really as bad as it sounds. On one hand I get to live longer. Be a mother to RJ, maybe Will. I can get rid of this thing that has been slowly killing me for years. On the other hand I lose something else."
    A voice is heard, "Me."
    She turns around.

    A vision of Tammy appears, "You would lose me Mom. Are you serious? Are you really trying to get rid of me?"
    She shakes her head, "No! Oh no! I was just thinking. I was wondering about what would happen."
    Tammy's vision shakes her head, "You don't even care do you? You don't love me anymore."
    Cassandra shakes her head, "I love you! I'm so sorry! I wasn't going to go through with it I promise."
    Tammy turns away, "I just thought that you liked your visions of me. I thought you wanted me to guide you. But I guess I was wrong. Your just like the rest of them. You want to forget me."
    She sobs, "No! I love you Tammy! You are everything to me. Everything. I love you."
    Tammy nods, "Then you will not stop this. If this tumor is what's keeping me here then you won't let me go again. Even if it kills you."
    Cassandra nods, "Even if it kills me."

    Lewis Fashion:
    Rue is still talking with Marah.
    Marah sighs, "I don't know. It's just so difficult. I mean I love my family. I love Springfield. So does Mindy."
    Rue nods, "But?"
    She nods, "But this is a great opportunity to expand our business. New York is a great place. We could make even more connections there. This is going to be one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make. Mindy has put it all in my hands now."
    Rue puts her hand on Marah's, "Sweetheart. That is a lot to take on all on your own."
    Marah sighs, "Well who do I have? I haven't told my boyfriend yet. I don't even know if he'd move with me. Now I just have no one that I can talk to about this."
    Rue grins, "What about me? I could be here for you?"
    Marah sighs, "We don't know each other that well."
    Rue smiles, "We can get to know each other. I think we could be great friends. Just think of me as your fairy godmother."
    Marah smiles at who she thinks is a new friend.

    Beacon:
    Harley knows what she has to do, "Gus I am sorry. But I won't do that again. I won't."
    Gus stares at her, "What?"
    She sighs, "Gus I am not going to help you with this again. You aren't going to see the kids until you pull yourself together."
    He scoffs, "You can't do that."
    She nods, "Yes I can. I could take legal action. But I don't think you want that Gus."
    He walks to her, "Please! Harley I need you."
    She shakes her head, "I am not your wife anymore."
    Gus sighs, "It's about him isn't it? Cyrus Foley?"
    She sighs, "No it's not."
    Gus cries, "But I still love you."
    She takes his hand, "I will always love you but I can't do this anymore. I won't do this again. Gus you need to work on yourself. By yourself. I'm sorry. But I can't help you.'
    Gus gets down on his knees, "Harley please!"
    Harley cries, "I'm sorry Gus!"
    She runs out.
    Olivia helps Gus up, "I'm sorry. I just can't believe Harley would do that to you."
    Gus shakes his head, "I don't need her. I can get through this on my own."
    Olivia shakes her head, "You don't have to."
    The two hug.
    Olivia knows she is doing what's best for Gus, and herself.

    Farmhouse:
    Aubrey takes Rafe's arm, "I still need you."
    Rafe shakes his head, "I am not getting tangled up in your psychotic mess that you've started."
    She sighs, "I know that this seems crazy. But I'm not giving up. I do have a plan."
    He nods, "Oh yeah? What's that."
    She sighs, "I can't share that with you. The less you know the better."
    He shakes his head, "Uh-uh. That there. That is a sign that this is messed up and I need to cut my losses."
    She takes his arm again, "Remember Rafe. The first time week shook hands when I paid you to kidnap Sarah. Then we toasted when we teamed up to keep Jon and Liz a part. But now we are taking another step. Maybe we can find a new way to seal the deal."
    He is confused, "What?"
    She takes off her top, "I'm giving it to you. You know you've wanted me since the day we met."
    He backs up, "No. I'm not going to fall for this."
    She strips down to her underwear, "Come on. You know that you want this Rafe. Is it a deal?"
    Rafe walks over, "You sure you want to get into this."
    She takes off his shirt, "Oh kid. You better listen. I'm in charge. You do what I say. I can handle this. Can you?"
    Rafe kisses her.
    She pulls him down to the couch.
    The two begin to have hot sex.

    Old Cabin:
    Edmund sits with Beth, "Phillip?"
    Beth nods, "Yes. He proposed to me not to long ago."
    Edmund nods, "You two are engaged?"
    She sighs, "Uh, he's giving me time. But I don't know if I can say yes. I mean what if I say yes but then Lorelei says I do. She could destroy Phillip she is a sick woman."
    Edmund is confused, "I remember Lorelei. I spent a lot of time with Lorelei. She was somewhat of a bad girl. But she was no villian."
    Beth nods, "Her life as Mrs. Alan Spaulding changed her. She was always money hungry. Once she got it. Well it did what money does. It changed her. She became a different woman."
    He turns to her, "Why would Lorelei kidnap me?"
    She sighs, "I don't know! Maybe she still felt a connection with you. I do feel that. I feel like, not that she was trying to hurt you. But she wanted to have you close."
    Edmund sighs, "Classic Lorelei. She would go this way to get my attention."
    Beth has tears in her eyes, "So you believe me?"
    He nods, "Oh yes. I mean I am still furious. I'm starving and thought I was going to die."
    She hands him a plate of food, "I don't have much but I found this. I'm so sorry Edmund."
    Edmund sighs, "I don't even know what to do."
    Beth turns to him, "Edmund. I need you. I need you to help me."
    He is confused, "I don't think I can help you much."
    She nods, "Yes you can. You once helped teach Lorelei about me. Now I need you to teach me about her. I need to stop her before she takes over again."
    Edmund stares at Beth.

  16. JAYJAY
    A day of returns in Springfield.....




    Malah House:



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




    Motel:



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



    Company:



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



    Mansion:



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



    Beacon:




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


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

    PART TWO:

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

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

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

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

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




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

    Road:



    Reva wakes up at the bottom of a hill.
    She was pushed out of the way of a speeding car.
    Reva looks up to see who her hero is.
    She is stunned by who she sees.
    "Hello Reva."
    Reva gasp, "Annie Dutton. Your back."
    Annie sighs, "Wow. I really didn't expect this to be how I came back to town. Saving your life."
    Reva sits up, "You threw me down a hill!"
    Annie shakes her head, "I was saving you from getting hit by a car. Your welcome by the way."
    Reva stares at her, "Now what. You think because you save my life that gives you the right to take it away."
    Annie gets up, "You are unbelievable."
    Reva looks at her, "I know you Annie. You have wanted me dead for years. Now we are out in the middle of no where. No witnesses. Isn't that why you followed me here?"
    Annie scoffs, "Follow you? We're at the Spaulding Mansion. I was just coming to see Alan."
    Reva sighs, "Alan? Alan doesn't live here anymore. The Spauldings don't live in the mansion anymore."
    Annie looks at her, "Things really have changed."
    Reva tries to stand up, "Well one thing hasn't. You are a psycho bitch. And I'm not letting you hurt my family again."
    Reva tries to get up but her ankle is hurt.
    She falls back down.
    Annie Dutton looks down at the injured Reva Shayne.



    Cedars:



    Cassandra pulls her car in front of the building.
    She walks to the doors.
    She stops herself, "What are you doing? You are just a complete idiot coming here."
    Rue walks up, "You are trying to save your life."
    Cassandra turns, "What are you doing here?"
    Rue sighs, "I saw your car here. I wanted to come and check on you. You need to see your doctors."
    She shakes her head, "I don't even know what you are talking about? You are supposed to be at your meeting with Marah."
    Rue sighs, "Don't change the subject. I found the information that Jerry guy left at the house."
    She scoffs, "His name is Jeffrey and you have no right going through my things."
    Rue looks at her, "You are clearly sick and you need help. Why aren't you getting the surgery."
    Cassandra walks away, "I have my reasons."
    Rue follows her, "Listen I don't usually focus on this kind of stuff. But I had a near death experience not to long ago. I know that you must be scared and maybe worried."
    Cassandra turns to her, "I'm not afraid of anything. I'm not having the surgery and you can't stop me."
    Rue nods, "Fine! Maybe we should go see Jeffrey."
    Cassandra is angry, "What for?"
    Rue sighs, "We should go over your will."



    Farmhouse:



    Jonathan is cooking in the kitchen.
    Aubrey walks over, "I would have thought that they would be here by now."
    Jonathan nods, "Well Shayne said they might be a little late."
    Aubrey smiles, "I think this will be nice having family over for brunch. Our family."
    Jonathan sighs, "I'm not much of a brunch person."
    Aubrey hugs him, "Well we are going to have nice day just you, and me, and....."

    Liz walks downstairs, "I think I see there car coming. This is going to be a good day."
    Aubrey sighs, "It's nice that you could join us Lizzie."
    Liz smiles, "Well it is my house Aubrey."
    A knock on the door.
    Liz and Aubrey both walk to the door.
    They both reach for the door.
    But Jonathan steps in between and opens it.

    Shayne smiles, "Hey guys."
    Marina is on one side of him and Rocky on the other.
    Marina smiles, "Thanks for having us over."
    The two sets of triangles look at each other.
    Everyone walks in.
    Aubrey hugs Shayne, "Oh it's so great to see you again."
    Shayne grins, "You too Aubrey you look great."
    Rocky looks around, "You have a lovely home."
    Liz and Aubrey, "Thank you."
    Jonathan takes there coats, "Well why don't you guys sit down. And we can start catching up?"
    Liz looks at everyone, "I think this is going to be a good day."
    Things are a little tense.




    Beacon:



    Mindy wakes up in bed.
    Rusty is at the desk.
    She gets up and walks over to him, "What are you doing?"
    He sighs, "Uh, I was moving your stuff and your purse fell. Some of your stuff fell out. Including this."
    He sits plane tickets on the desk.
    She sighs, "Those. Those are..."
    He nods, "Those are one way tickets to New York. It looks like you are leaving in a few weeks."
    She looks at him, "I uh, bought those a while ago. After Rick and I broke up. I was planning to move there and work from there."
    He turns to her, "Then what was this? Were you just trying to get a few things done before you left?"
    She shakes her head, "No! Weren't you listening? I'm not going anywhere. I changed my mind. I realized that I wanted to stay here for you! With you! That's why I was with you."
    Rusty shakes his head, "Mindy you were ready to move. I mean this is what you've always wanted was to have your dream of living in the big city and working on your fashion."
    Mindy sighs, "I know that. But I also have a dream of having a relationship. You are the man of my dreams. And I am not going to put my career before my heart anymore."
    Rusty looks at her, "And I'm not letting me put my selfishness before a woman's wellbeing again."
    The two stare into each other's eyes.



    Motel:



    Harley hugs Susan, "Oh my God! My Baby girl! Your here. Your really home."
    Susan sighs, "Yeah. You look great Harley. And you have a good guy here."
    Cyrus smiles, "I'm glad you two are together again."
    Harley sits her down, "Tell me what's going on. Where is that man?"
    Susan sighs, "He has a name Mom."
    Harley sighs, "Where is Guillespie?"
    Susan looks down, "He is gone."
    Harley scoffs, "Of course. I knew he was no good. Let me guess you guys ran out of money and he went running and leaving you all by yourself to take the fall for everything."
    Cyrus sits with them, "No. Harley, my brother realized what he had done to Susan. What he had done to everyone. He wanted to find a way to fix it."
    Harley shakes her head, "There are some things no one can fix."
    Susan has tears in her eyes, "He took the fall Harley for everything. He said that I was just a hostage."
    Harley is confused, "What?"
    Cyrus sighs, "He confessed to not only his crimes but to the murder of Julie Camaletti. The woman that Susan killed."
    Harley shakes her head, "I don't get it. So he confessed to killing Julie. And he confessed to killing Tammy?"
    Susan nods, "He took the fall for all of it."
    Harley shakes her head, "No. Why didn't I hear about this? Why didn't Springfield hear about this?"
    Cyrus sighs, "I pulled a few strings to keep things private. In a couple of days Cassie and Mallet will be notified about it."
    Harley turns to him, "So where is Guillespie now?"
    Susan cries, "A mental institution."




    Springfield High:



    Vi walks down the hallway.
    Maureen is next to her, "So I guess our new English teacher starts today."
    Vi nods, "I just hope he's better than Ms. Green."
    Maureen sighs, "I can't believe she was arrested for drug possesion. I heard a student turned her in."
    Vi nods, "Well you know those are just rumors. But she was a bad teacher anyway. She tried to fail me. Besides I have a good feeling about our new teacher."
    They walk into the classroom.
    A young blonde girl walks over, "Have you guys seen our new teacher? He is so hot!"
    Vi laughs, "I'll be the judge of that."

    Coop walks to the front of the class, "Hello. I'm Mr. Bradshaw. Some of you may know me. My family owns the diner Company. I'm going to be your new English teacher. I used to teach at a juvinile detention facility so I'm to worried about you guys."
    Vi whispers to herself, "He is hot."
    Coop looks at the seating chart, "So in the first row we have Denard Anderson, Danielle Bonn, Brooke Baker, Leah Carter, and Rachel Fisher. In the next row is Vi Grant-"
    Vi walks over, "Hello Mr. Bradshaw. Welcome to Springfield High."
    Coop shakes her hand, "Thank you Vi. I think I'm going to like it here."
    She nods, "I think so too."
    Vi can't stop staring at him.

    PART TWO:

    Cedars:
    Cassandra looks at Rue, "Why do I need to go over my will?"
    Rue sighs, "Well I have been working hard to take down the Lewises and I'm going to get paid whether you are here or not."
    Cassandra scoffs, "I should have known. You are nothing but a money hungry skank."
    Rue nods, "Aren't we all? I mean after your gone maybe I'll hang around Springfield. That Jeffrey is hot. I know he's with Marah. But I have a feeling he needs a real woman."
    Cassandra gets angry, "You stay the hell away from Jeffrey!"
    Rue looks at her, "I knew it! You want him don't you? You don't want that Edmund guy. You have feelings for Jeffrey?"
    Cassandra shakes her head, "I don't need anyone! I am doing fine on my own. I am running this town. I don't need anyone holding me back. Besides Jeffrey doesn't like the new me."
    Rue walks towards her, "This surgery could save you! It could change your life. All of this anger and visions could be gone."
    She shouts, "I don't want it gone! I want to stay this way! This is who I am now!"
    Rue sighs, "Why? Why do need to stay this way? Like some villian?"
    She cries, "I can't let the Spauldings win! I can't! They killed her! Like she was just some animal. They killed my Tammy! My baby! What kind of mother just moves on and forgets it."
    Rue has tears in her eyes, "From what I hear you were a pretty good mother. You did everything. You did whatever you had to in order to protect Tammy. What happened to her wasn't your fault."
    Cassandra sobs, "It was my job to protect her."
    Rue holds her hands, "Let's just go inside and make an appointment for surgery. Next week. We don't have to do anything now. But you need to try and stop yourself from dying. Please?"
    Cassandra nods.
    Rue walks her inside.

    Farmhouse:
    Everyone is eating.
    Shayne looks around, "Who made the meal? Did you Lizzie?"
    Marina laughs, "I can just imagine a Spaulding cooking. Like they would ever lower themselves to that."
    Liz scoffs, "Marina you are a guest in my house."
    Marina nods, "I knew this was a bad idea coming here?"
    Liz shakes her head, "You know what it doesn't matter. No matter what I do I will always be a Spaulding."
    Marina looks at her, "Well I'm sorry. But everytime I look at you sitting next to Jonathan it make me sick. Tammy must be rolling over in her grave."
    Rocky turns to her, "That is enough!"
    Jonathan walks out of the room.
    Aubrey tries to get up but Liz follows Jonathan.
    Shayne sighs, "I think we should get going. I'll start the car."
    Rocky stands, "I'll get our coats."
    Marina and Aubrey are left at the table.
    Marina sighs, "I'm so sorry. These hormones get the best of me. It's just, Lizzie is partly to blame for what happened to Tammy. And her living with Jonatahn just..."
    Aubrey nods, "It's messed up. Believe me I know. I hate it. But Jonathan and I are trying to make our marriage work. Liz is just a... bitch."
    Marina laughs, "I know exactly what you mean. I remember we used to call her... Oh!"
    Aubrey looks at her, "What?"
    Marina smiles, "The baby is kicking. Feel it."
    Marina takes Aubrey's hand and puts it on her stomach.
    Aubrey smiles, "I can feel it."
    Marina grins, "It's amazing isn't it. A little baby growing inside of you."
    Aubrey stares at Marina's tummy, "That's right a little baby. A baby the same age as my is going to be. Wow. I never thought about that."
    Aubrey can't stop staring at Marina's stomach and picturing the little baby.
    Aubrey rubs her fake pregnancy belly, "My Baby."

    Springfield High:
    Coop hands out a syllabus, "This semester is going to be a little different then the orginal plan. The curriculum is the same of course. But I am going to try and make it a more fun experience. I'm sorry about what happened with your other teacher. But I will make the transition as easy as possible for all of you. Any questions?"
    Vi raises her hand. "Can we learn a little more about you? I mean since you are our new teacher."
    Coop nods, "Well sure. My name is Henry but my friends call me Coop. You will all call me Mr. Bradshaw while at school. As I said before I taught at juvie. I was born in Springfield. But I grew up with my relatives in Europe. I went to school there. I learned a lot."
    Vi smiles, "That must have been great studying in Europe."
    Coop nods, "It was. Any other questions?"
    Vi is the only one raising her hand again, "Are you married?"
    Coop laughs, "No. I'm not married."
    Maureen raises her hand, "What novels will we be reading this semester?"
    Vi rolls her eyes.
    Coop stands up, "That is a good questiong Ms. Reardon. I have a list I will be handing out later. It has all of our books on there. We'll go over that one tomorrow."
    The bell rings.
    Coop smiles, "Okay well thanks everyone. I'll see you guys tomorrow."
    Vi stands up, "By Mr. Bradshaw! I'll see you tomorrow."
    He nods, "By Ms. Grant."
    Coop finds Vi odd but doesn't think much of it.
    Vi thinks about him the rest of the day.

    Beacon:
    Mindy looks at Rusty, "I don't get what you are telling me?"
    He sighs, "You want this! You want to go to New York. I'm not going to the thing holding you back."
    She shakes her head, "You aren't a thing! You are so much more. You are the man of my dreams Rusty. I want to be with you. Don't you want to be with me too?"
    He nods, "Oh you know I want to be with you. But not like this. Not me making you choose between us and your dreams."
    She sighs, "That's not what this is. I would love to work in New York sure. But Springfield is my home."
    Rusty shakes his head, "That's not why you are staying. You are staying because you think that if you leave we won't be able to be together and we'll never see each other again."
    She cries, "Because it's true! Rusty I am falling head over heals for you again and I am not going to blow it."
    Rusty takes her hands, "What do you suppose we do?"
    She looks at him, "Okay. I'm going to propose an option. But you don't have to agree."
    Rusty nods, "Let me hear it."
    She smiles, "Come with me! To New York! You can go back to being a detective. I'm sure there is a lot to do in New York.... No. What am I saying? Oh God! Your family is here. Everything you love is in Springfield."
    He holds her, "Not if you go. I think that in Springfield we seem to have a lot of problems. Maybe New York will be different."
    She smiles, "Does this mean..."
    He smiles, "Let's do it! Let's go to New York!"
    She jumps into his arms.
    The two kiss.

    Motel:
    Harley sighs, "Well I don't know what to say. Guillespie did all of this for you."
    Susan nods, "Yes. Now he is paying for what we did."
    Harley nods, "Well I am just glad that you are here. Your back!"
    The two hug.
    Cyrus sits with them, "We can take Susan home now. But she has to stay put. Tomorrow we will take her down the police station and explain everything. We need to be careful."
    Harley nods, "Your right. Okay. So your coming home with us Susan?"
    She nods, "Yes. I will. Is my old room still available?"
    Harley grins, "Of course it is baby! Oh I love you!"
    Cyrus looks at his watch, "You should get going first. We'll follow behind. We need to lay low."
    Harley gets up, " Okay okay. I'm just so glad to have both of you back. I'll go home and I'll see you there."
    She gives Susan one last big hug before she goes.
    After she leaves Cyrus walks over to Susan, "Let me see your arm."
    She rolls up her sleeve.
    Her arm is cut up.
    He sighs, "When the hell did you do that?"
    She looks down, "I don't remember. Probably last night. I don't remember why."
    He shouts, "Damn it! I thought you were clean?"
    She sighs, "I found more in my bags. I couldn't stop myself."
    He grabs her, "You promised me you'd kick all of this crap before I brought you to your mother."
    She cries, "I tried! But I can't! It's not that easy. G and I got really into some messed up stuff."
    Cyrus nods, "Oh boy don't I know it! But let me tell you one thing. We are going to stop this. Because I'll be damned if Harley and I wake up to find you dead on the floor after overdosing. She's got one druggie in her life. She doesn't need to know there is another."
    Susan nods.
    Cyrus walks her out of the room.

    Road:
    Annie sits by Reva, "I could have left you for dead. But I didn't. Reva believe it or not I didn't come back here for you."
    Reva turns to her, "Then why did you come back?"
    She shouts, "Because I need redemtion! I need redemtion. You know a thing or two about that."
    Reva shakes her head, "No Annie. There is no redemtion for the things you've done."
    Annie sighs, "Enough time has past. I've changed. And clearly so has Springfield. I guess for some reason. I expected things to remain the same since I was gone."
    Reva shakes her head, "Well they haven't. Everything is different in Springfield. Some good some bad. Here's one you'll like. Josh and I are over."
    She sighs, "Well I'm not surprised. You two will be back together soon."
    Reva shakes her head, "No. It's for good this time."
    Annie laughs, "We'll pretend like that's true. What'd you do this time?"
    She sighs, "Josh married Cassie while I was dying of breast cancer."
    Annie stares, "You have breast cancer?"
    Reva sighs, "Had."
    Annie turns, "Wow. Josh and Cassie? I mean I didn't see that coming. That doesn't sound like Cassie."
    Reva sighs, "She isn't Cassie anymore. You want to see here then go to her new place. The mansion."
    Annie turns and stares at the mansion.
    Reva finally gets up.
    Annie stares at her, "You need a ride to the hospital."
    Reva shakes her head, "I am not going anywhere with you. I'm going home. I suggest you leave town. You're not welcome here."
    Reva walks away.
    Annie walks up the hill.
    She walks to the gates of the Spaulding Mansion.
    She turns and looks down the hill at Springfield.
    She smiles, "Welcome home Annie Dutton."

    Beacon:



    Edmund is at the desk.
    Beth walks over, "Okay so I am paying for you to stay here while we work on thigns."
    Edmund sighs, "I don't know what we are going to do. If Lorelei is coming back into your life then we aren't going to be able to stop her."
    Beth looks at him, "I understand that in a way this is out of my hands. But I have to atleast try to control things. I have Phillip, my mother, 3 children, and a granddaughter. I am not going to lose them to Lorelei. She is sick and she will hurt them."
    Edmund walks to her, "Beth I will do everything I can. But you need to think. Think about what it is that brings Lorelei to you."
    Beth sighs, "Lorelei always comes whenever I can't handle what is going on in my life. When things are to much to deal with."
    He nods, "Like when I almost caused your death and was trying to kidnap you."
    She nods, "Yes. That was when she came. But then it wasn't until I thought Phillip was dead and I married Alan that she started to reappear. Now she is getting closer and closer to taking full control of Beth again. I can't let that happen."
    He sighs, "And what if she does Beth? What if Lorelei does take over again. What is going to happen? What are we to do?"
    Beth takes a deep breathe, "At that point I can't do much. It's going to be up to you Edmund."
    Edmund is worried.



    Bauer Home:



    Rick is in the kitchen.
    Mindy is knocking on the door.
    He slowly answers, "Mindy what do you want?"
    She sighs, "I need to talk to you. It's important."
    He lets her in, "If this is about us Mindy, I already told you that I am done and we are through."
    She nods, "I know. And you were right. I do still have feelings for Rusty. And it was wrong to lie to you and myself about those feelings. I will never forgive myself for what I've done to you."
    He nods, "Well that's funny. Because I don't know if I can forgive you either Mindy."
    Mindy sighs, "Rick, I'm leaving Springfield. I have a job offer to move the business to New York. It's a great opportunity for my business. Especially with Spring coming up."
    Rick looks down, "So your leaving?"
    She nods, "Yes. I wish we had a chance to fix things between us before I had to go."
    Rick walks over to her, "We will never be able to fix our relationship. It was a mistake trying to recreate what we once had."
    She has tears in her eyes, "I know."
    He takes a deep breathe, "But our friendship is still strong and will never die."
    Mindy smiles, "Do you mean that Rick?"
    He nods, "I do. We have been friends forever. And we will continue to be. All four of us."
    Mindy nods, "You, me, Beth, and Phillip."
    He smiles, "I have an idea. Let's go."
    Rick takes her hand and the two leave.




    Cross Creek:



    Annie Dutton is going by and stops.
    She walks over in shock.
    "Oh my God... this looks like, it is. Cross Creek. It's in Springfield now?"
    She can't believe her eyes.
    Suddenly the front door opens.

    Josh is on his way out.
    He stops.
    Josh is in complete shock.
    Annie Dutton walks towards him.
    Josh keeps staring, "Am I dreaming?"
    She shakes her head, "No Josh. I'm back."
    Josh walks towards her slowly.
    Annie smiles at him.
    Josh stands in front of her.
    He puts his hand on her face, "It's really you?"
    She nods, "Yes Josh. It's me. The real me."
    Josh backs up, "No. No no. You had surgery. You did more horrible things. You aren't...."
    She sighs, "Apparently you haven't heard yet. I'll explain that to you. But I need to you trust me Josh."
    Josh still can't believe she is standing right in front of him.
    Annie Dutton is back.



    Natalia's House:



    Alan and Natalia are sitting at the table.
    Natalia smiles, "I can't believe our wedding is next week."
    He nods, "Springfield's Masquerade Ball. This year it will be held at the Country Club. That's where we are going to say our vows Natalia. In front of the whole town."
    She smiles, "I can't believe it's really happening. After this whole year of fighting to be together. We finally get to say I do."
    Alan turns to her, "Do you remember the Masquerade Ball last year?"
    She nods, "That's when Julie Camaletti was shot and Billy and Vanessa got remarried."
    Alan smiles, "Anything else?"
    She nods, "That was the first time I confessed my true feelings to you. And it's still true to this day. I love you Alan."
    Alan smiles, "I love you too. Natalia you have changed me in the most amazing way."
    Natalia sighs, "That is something that I think we should talk about before we do this Alan."
    Alan is confused, "What?"
    She sighs, "Change. Have you really changed Alan?"
    He nods, "Of course I have. I just told you that."
    Natalia looks at him, "But now that all of this stuff is going on with the company, I need to know. Are you going to go after the company again or are you going to have a family life with me and the baby. Because Alan I honestly don't think we can have both."
    Alan stares into her eyes.



    Private Hearing:



    Harley is with her lawyer.
    Dinah and Mallet are with their's.
    The judge talks, "This is the private hearing of the custody of Belinda Aitoro. Between the biological mother Dinah Adele Marler Mallet. And the adoptive mother Harley Davidson Cooper. I will allow each of you to give me your final reasoning on why you should be awarded custody."
    Harley nods, "I guess I'll go first. I'll be honest. One year ago, I didn't plan to adopt Belinda. I was trying to adopt a little girl named Sydney who I once took care of. And somehow in the process we accidentally adopted Belinda. I had no idea what to do. I was ready to talk to the judge and get it worked out. But then I fell in love with her. She has that spunk, and charisma. I don't know but I feel like she is my daughter now. Whether she was my blood or not. I love her your honor. No matter what."
    Dinah's turn, "I was in Europe. I hooked up with this really bad guy. And I got pregnant. I had a little girl I named Chamberlin. Lin for short. And I knew that the life I was living wasn't fit for a child. So I made the hardest decision. I had to give her up. But now I am living my dream. I have an amazing husband. A beautiful home. A 3 month baby boy. And everything I've always wanted. Except my daughter. I wanted Lin, Belinda back. And I know in my heart that she wants to be with me."
    Harley mutters under her breath, "Maybe you should tell them why you were in Europe."
    The judge turns to Harley, "Excuse me."
    Dinah scoffs, "They know about that."
    Harley nods, "They need to be reminded. Dinah was in Europe because she was on the run. After she murdered her ex Hart while she was trying to kill his true love Cassie."
    Dinah nods, "Yeah on the run like your daughter is now!"
    Harley sighs, "And now she has brain damamge. I mean how can you trust her with any living person."
    Dinah is holding back all of her anger.
    Mallet stands up, "That's enough. Why don't we talk about the criminal that your sleeping with in your house Harley."
    The whole room is tense.
    Cyrus is standing outside the room and hears this.



    Cedars:



    Rue has a dream from her past in Pasadena.

    Rue wakes up in a sweat.
    She is reminded where she is at.
    The hospital does this to her a lot.

    Jeffrey O'Neill walks in, "Where is Cassie?"
    Rue sighs, "The doctors are trying to convince her to have immidiant surgery. It's gotten much worse."
    Jeffrey nods, "How much worse?"
    Rue sighs, "Well if she doesn't have the surgery she only has a couple of weeks left."
    Jeffrey sighs, "And if she does..."
    Rue nods, "Well then it could save her life. Or it could cause some brain damage and it could be fatal."
    Jeffrey walks into the room.

    Cassandra is trying to get dressed.
    He grabs her, "Stop! What are you doing?"
    She shouts, "I'm going home!"
    Jeffrey shakes his head, "No! You need to do this. For RJ, Will and for Tammy especially."
    She cries, "Tammy doesn't want me to do this!"
    Jeffrey sighs, "How do you know that?"
    Tammy's vision appears, "This is it isn't Mom? This is the room? The room they had me in? The room where I died."
    Cassandra screams.


    PART TWO:

    Cross Creek:
    Josh is inside with Annie, "So what your saying is that all of the stuff that you did as Terri DeMarco wasn't you?"
    Annie nods, "That's right. Josh I had no idea that Sabrina was going to pose as me and come to Springfield. I haven't been here since I..."
    Josh nods, "Since you kidnapped Reva and left her in a plane to die."
    Annie sighs, "I understand that you must be so angry at me for what I did to you and Reva. But I have had a lot of time. And I've changed Josh. I've changed in ways you wouldn't believe. Probably won't believe."
    Josh sighs, "I'm sorry but your right. It's hard for me to believe that you have truely changed."
    She takes a picture off the mantel, "Oh my God. Is this Shayne? He is all grown up. He looks just like his Daddy."
    Josh nods, "He is having a child."
    She grins, "That's amazing! Who's the lucky girl?"
    Josh clears his throat, "It's a guy. Shayne is adopting a baby with his love Rocky."
    Annie backs up, "Oh I had no idea. I am surprised. But as long as Shayne is happy then I am."
    Josh nods, "You mean that?"
    She smiles, "Yes. I know this might be hard to hear but I still love them. Shayne and Marah. Speaking of which how is Marah?"
    Josh takes a picture of Marah and hands it to Annie, "She moved back to town a couple of years ago. She lived in France for a while. She and Melinda Sue have their own fashion line."
    Annie grins, "That's incredible. I remember Marah always used to dress up her Barbies and talk about being a fashion designer. Now her dreams have come true."
    Josh sighs, "She's dating a guy named Jeffrey. He's a lawyer. He is closer to my age then he is to hers."
    Annie nods, "And you hate it don't you."
    He laughs, "Yes I do I...," Josh catches himself, "I'm sorry. But I can't just sit here and laugh with you about the children. About my children. Not after everything you've done."
    Annie nods, "I understand Josh. Maybe I should get going."
    Josh takes her arm, "Wait."
    Annie turns back and looks into Josh's eyes.

    Natalia's House:
    Alan looks at Natalia, "I understand that you must be nervous about whether or not I am going to revert back to the old Alan."
    Natalia sighs, "Because the old Alan scares me."
    Alan stands up, "The Alan who ran a billion dollar company, who lived in the big mansion, who tried to control peoples lives."
    Natalia nods, "Alan I just..."
    Alan continues, "The man who shot his own son, terrorized his daughter in laws, obessed over babies, and was responsible for the murder of the innocent Tammy Winslow."
    Natalia sighs, "That is something that we don't talk about a whole lot. Tammy Winslow."
    Alan sits back down, "Never will I ever forgive myself for that. That was the moment when I started to see who I really was and what I was capable of. And then you came in to my life shortly after that."
    Natalia looks at him, "It's hard to believe you were that man."
    Alan sighs, "It wasn't until Cassie took everything from me that I was able to let go and I started to fall in love with you."
    Natalia nods, "And if you can get it all back, will you? And will you still want me and our life?"
    Alan sighs, "Honestly. We aren't there so I don't know what will happen. But I know this. Natalia you are the love of my life. It took me years and years to find you. I had Elizabeth, Hope, Regina. I always thought one of them was it. But it was you. And now I have you and I don't want to let you go."
    Natalia leans over and kisses Alan.

    Beacon:
    Edmund looks at Beth, "What do you want me to do?"
    Beth sighs, "If Lorelei takes over me again. Then she will try and once again convince everyone she is me. And she will hurt the people that I love. It is up to you to tell them the truth."
    Edmund sighs, "How am I supposed to know?"
    Beth looks at him, "You know me. You know Lorelei. You will be able to tell. Believe me."
    Edmund hugs her, "I'll help you Beth I promise."
    Beth thanks him and leaves.
    Beth walks downstairs to the lobby.
    She is surprised when Rick and Mindy approach her.
    Mindy smiles, "Hey. We were getting ready to go see you at your house."
    Beth nods, "What for?"
    Rick grins, "Phillip. Where is Phillip?"
    Beth sighs, "Uh at the house I'm sure. What is going on?"
    Mindy looks at her, "I know we haven't all been getting along this year after everything that happened with Penelope. But we need to see each other. All four of us."
    Rick takes Beth's hand, "Come on Beth. For oldtimes sake."
    Beth nods, "I think a little history is just what I need right now."
    Mindy and Rick walk Beth out of the Beacon.

    Cross Creek:
    Annie looks at Josh, "If this is to difficult for you then I should go."
    Josh sighs, "I'm surprised this isn't difficult for you. Considering where we are."
    Annie walks past him and goes to the mantel, "Josh and Reva. Always and Forever. I must say I don't like this. But Josh I have gotten past all of that. I don't have all of that anger towards Reva before."
    Josh sighs, "How can I believe that you will feel the same once you see her."
    Annie nods, "I saw her. I actually saved her life."
    He is surprised, "What are you talking about? What happened?"
    She sighs, "I was going to the mansion to see Alan. I had to get a few things straight."
    Josh shakes his head, "Alan doesn't live there anymore."
    She nods, "I know that now. But Reva was there too. And a car was driving towards her from the house. Anyway I pushed her out of the way and saved her life."
    He turns, "Reva. Is she okay?"
    Annie nods, "She hurt her leg. But she was more caught up in seeing me again. She let it be known that I wasn't welcome in Springfield."
    Josh is confused, "I can't believe Reva didn't tell me."
    Annie sighs, "Apparently there are a lot of things she didn't tell you."
    Josh turns to Annie.

    Cedars:
    Rue walks into the room.
    Jeffrey is holding Cassandra, "Everything is okay."
    Cassandra cries, "I don't understand."
    Jeffrey is confused, "What?"
    She is looking ahead, "I thought you wanted me to take over Springfield but I can't if I'm dead."
    Rue looks up, "Who are you talking too?"
    Cassandra shouts, "I'm not trying to forget you! I'm trying to help you. I love you!"
    Jeffrey whispers in her ear, "Cassie is Tammy here right now?"
    She nods.
    Rue sighs, "Oh my God."
    Jeffrey sighs, "What does Tammy look like?"
    Cassandra sobs, "She's wearing her hospital gown. She is covered in blood. There are bruises all over her face."
    Jeffrey shakes his head, "That's not Tammy."
    Cassandra nods, "Yes it is."
    Jeffrey shakes her, "No! That is not Tammy. It's not Tammy."
    She cries, "But I see her! If that's not her then where is she?"
    Jeffrey takes her hand and puts it on her chest, "Tammy is in here. She is your heart. And Jonathan's heart. Tammy is in all of us. Because we all loved her."
    Rue sits with them, "Will you have the surgery?"
    Cassandra nods and hugs Rue.

    Private Hearing:
    Mallet looks at the judge, "Your honor Ms. Cooper here is living with a known crimal. Cyrus Foley. He is a theif and kidnapper and probably more. He also used to date her niece, whom he once kidnapped."
    Harley stands up, "Mallet you have no idea what you are talking about."
    Mallet sighs, "I don't see why Belinda should go with a woman who is sleeping with a man like Cyrus."
    Dinah looks at Mallet, "Stop. Sit down."
    Mallet shakes his head, "Cyrus Foley would be a horrible father to this young girl. Anyone who'd want him as their child's father shouldn't be awarded custody."
    Dinah shouts, "Mallet stop!"

    Cyrus opens the door, "I have to say something."
    The judge looks at him, "Who are you?"
    Cyrus sighs, "I'm Cyrus Foley. I'm the man they are talking about. I was outside. But I can't stay back anymore."
    Harley looks at him, "What are you doing?"
    Dinah turns, "Get out!"
    Cyrus sighs, "Listen you can't use me as a reason not to give Harley custody. I also have a past with Dinah."
    Mallet nods, "I know you were her partner while she was away."
    Cyrus nods, "Yes! Her partner while she was on the run in Europe. We were in love and we slept together. We concieved a child."
    Harley stares, "Cyrus are you saying..."
    Cyrus continues, "I may be a father figure. But I am also the biological father. Belinda is my daughter with Dinah!"
    The Judge stares at Mr. Foley.
    Mallet turns to Dinah.
    Dinah is furious.
    Harley stares at Cyrus in shock.

    Private Hearing:



    Cyrus shouts, "You can't use me as an excuse not to give Harley the child. Because I'm the biological father. Belinda is my daughter with Dinah!"
    Everyone is in shock.
    Harley stares, "Cyrus what are you talking about?"
    Mallet shakes his head, "These stunts aren't going to work Foley. We can DNA test."
    Cyrus nods, "Do it. That will prove that I am not lying. I'm not am I Didi?"
    The judge is confused, "Who's Didi?"
    Cyrus looks at Dinah, "That's the name I knew her as. Dinah and I were thieves and con artist. Then she got pregnant. But she told me the baby died. And then before I knew it her Mom came and helped her put me behind bars. She turned on me. Right Dinah?"
    Mallet nods, "And now your getting revenge by making up this lie. This horrible lie right?"
    Dinah sighs, "It's true. Cyrus is the man who got me pregnant."
    Harley stares, "Belinda told me she felt a bond with Cyrus."
    Cyrus nods, "I felt it too. But I had no idea that she was..."
    Mallet turns to Dinah, "You knew that Foley was the father and you didn't tell me that?"
    Dinah gets up and leaves.
    Harley walks over to Cyrus.
    She slaps him across the face.




    Beacon:



    Olivia opens Gus's door.
    He sits up, "What happened to knocking?"
    She sighs, "I own this place I can do what I want. Your high aren't you?"
    Gus scoffs, "Go away Olivia."
    Olivia looks at him, "Where did you get the pills this time?"
    He sighs, "Some guy on the first floor. He has a back injury. He gave me some good stuff."
    Olivia sees the bottle, "Well at least whatever was left is gone. Don't you think this is sad? That you bought pills from some guy in the hallway just to get high?"
    Gus laughs, "It was actually in the lobby!"
    Olivia kicks him, "You are pathetic."
    He nods, "Your right. I am pathetic. Look at me. I'm on the ground in some crappy hotel. While my ex wife and her criminal boyfriend fight for custody of our daughter. I'm just a mess."
    Olivia sighs, "That's not completely true."
    He looks at her, "That I'm a mess?"
    She shakes her head, "No. This isn't a crappy hotel."
    Gus laughs, "That's a good one."
    She sits on the floor next to him, "Gus I am trying to help you. But I can't help you unless you help yourself."
    Gus grabs her, "Thank Olivia."
    He kisses her.




    Cross Creek:



    Josh is with Annie, "So what your telling me is that Reva's known for months about all of this and didn't tell me."
    She sighs, "I guess not. I mean I assumed you knew. Reva told me that she had put it all together."
    Josh nods, "Her and her new boyfriend Dr. Tyler."
    Annie nods, "I did hear that you guys broke up again."
    Josh turns to her, "That must make you really happy Annie."
    She shakes her head, "I can't say I'm devastated that you guys broke up but I am not here to hurt you two. I am trying to apologize for the things I've done Josh."
    He looks at her, "I'm confused. Are you supposed to be in jail or something like that?"
    She sighs, "Well technically the records show that I've paid for my crimes because of the impostor so I will be a free woman unless someone files a police report."
    Josh nods, "And you are asking me to keep you free."
    She shakes her head, "No Josh. I can't ask you to do that. If that will make you feel better than do it. All I ask is that you consider possibly giving me a second chance."
    Josh sighs, "A second chance at what Annie? As the mother of my children? Or as my wife?"
    Annie sighs, "As a person? Josh I just want to get some sort of a life. Something where I'm not hiding and alone."
    Josh looks at her, "How can I know that you are for real right now?"
    Annie takes the phone and hands it to him, "You know the police station. Call them. Turn me in."
    Josh takes the phone and holds it.



    Cedars:



    Cassandra is in surgery.
    She is put to sleep.
    A part of her can tell what's going on.
    They are opening her head.
    She hears a voice.
    "Mom.... Mom."
    An out of body experience.
    Cassandra sighs, "Tammy?"

    Tammy's Angel appears, "Mom. How are you?"
    Cassandra cries, "Oh Baby. I'm sorry. This was a mistake wasn't it? I wasn't supposed to do this."
    Tammy sighs, "Mom. Your saving your life. What's wrong with that? Your going to be able to be there for RJ and Will. You can help Jonathan and Sarah. You can be the old you."
    Cassandra is confused, "I don't understand. Why? Why are you changing your mind? Last time we talked you said that you didn't want me to have the surgery. That you wanted me to focus on revenge."
    Tammy shakes her head, "Does that sound like something I'd say? Mom you need to realize that it's not me. The girl you were talking to was not the real me. I wouldn't do that."
    Cassandra cries, "I know! I just wanted to be close to you. I guess I created her as a way to be with you and..."
    Tammy nods, "Punish yourself."
    Cassandra nods, "I will never forgive myself for letting you go. And never will I ever forgive the Spauldings and Guillespie for taking you away from me."
    Tammy sighs, "Can't you try for me? Mom I always believed in forgiveness. That's why I forgave Jonathan and fell in love with him."
    Cassandra cries, "And now your gone!"
    Tammy nods, "I died the way that every mother would be proud to go. Protecting my husband and my daughter."
    Cassandra understands.



    Marina's House:


    Rocky is filling out stuff for the police training.
    He starts to think about Kevin.
    Rocky knows that deep down he is falling in love with Kevin.
    Kevin has such passion and love.
    He can't stop himself from falling in love.
    A picture of Shayne catches his eye.

    Shayne has brought him so much.
    They went through everything together.

    Rocky for once needs to put Shayne's needs before his own.
    Rocky continues his work in hopes that he is making the right decisions.



    Springfield High:




    Rick Mindy Phillip and Beth are all in the gym.
    Rick looks at Phillip, "I can't believe you were able to get us in here."
    Phillip nods, "I just had to slip a little money to the janitors. School is closed and we aren't going to take anything.
    Beth grins, "Can you believe how long it's been since we were students here? It seems like ages ago and at the same time it feels like it was just yesterday."
    Mindy nods, "We've all been through so much since then. We've grown up a whole lot."
    Rick smiles, "We've started our careers."
    Phillip nods, "Had children."
    Beth grins, "Got married. Numerous times."
    Mindy adds, "And sometimes to each other!"
    Phillip looks around, "How many other groups of friends actually stay friends after decades of moving and growing. Most people just end up moving on and never speak again."
    Beth nods, "I think we need to realize how amazing it is that we are all still friends.'
    Mindy smiles, "After all these years you guys are the best friends I've ever had."
    Phillip nods, "It's been great. A whole year that all of us have been in Springfield together again. But now it's coming to an end again while Melinda Sue continues her dreams to New York."
    Mindy hugs him, "I'm going to miss you the most."
    Phillip raises his drink, "After all these years."
    Beth raises, "Nothing has changed."
    Rick raises, "We're still best friends."
    Mindy raises her drink, "The Four Musketeers!"

    PART TWO:

    Beacon:
    Olivia pulls away from the kiss, "Gus...."
    Gus grins, "Come on! You know you wanted this for a while now. Ever since I saved your life."
    She nods, "I did. I really really did."
    He sighs, "But?"
    She stares at him, "Not like this. Not after you've been popping pills and your angry at your ex wife."
    Gus nods, "I am angry. Harley has abandoned me for that criminal."
    Olivia gets up, "Well honestly that's Harley. She's selfish. It's always about her."
    Gus sits up, "No. Harley is amazing. She makes me feel like I have a life worth living."
    Olivia looks at him, "You do. Gus every life is worth living."
    Gus laughs, "What about Alan and Phillip."
    Olivia sighs, "Maybe not them."
    He sighs, "You deserve better than a Spaulding guy."
    She nods, "I know that."
    He sighs, "But I'm a Spaulding guy."
    She walks towards him, "But your different then Alan or Phillip. You have a big heart Gus. If you didn't then I wouldn't give a damn if you over dosed or not."
    Gus looks at her, "Do you really care about me?"
    She sits next to him, "Yes Gus. I don't know why exactly but I really do care deeply about you."
    He tries to kiss her, "Thank you..."
    She stops him, "Another time."
    Olivia helps Gus to bed.

    Marina's House:


    Marina is in her bedroom.
    She goes through her old high school yearbooks.
    She reads all of her signatures.
    She looks at Lizzie's.
    "Dear Marina. You are such a lucky girl. So lucky to have such a good boyfriend."
    Lizzie used to be so jealous of Marina and Shayne.
    She stops when she sees Tammy's.
    "Marina. You are such a good friend. I had an amazing year and I'm gonna miss you next year. I'm so glad your dating my cousin. You and Shayne are perfect for each other. I know you belong together and will get married some day. I love you."
    Marina has tears in her eyes.
    Marina goes to Shayne's.
    It's a page long.
    She remembers how much they loved each other.
    Life was so great with Shayne.
    All of her other men were different.
    Ben, Alan Michael, Cyrus. They all hurt her.
    Then Danny.... Danny died.
    But her relationship with Shayne was simple.
    But now he's with her uncle Rocky.
    She can't ruin that.
    She isn't going to make a move unless Shayne wants make it clear he is done with Rocky.
    Marina gets up and puts her book away.
    She starts to look at her dress for the masquerade ball.

    Cross Creek:
    Josh puts the phone down, "I'm not calling the police."
    Annie sighs, "I'm not stopping you."
    He sighs, "You don't have to. Annie I don't really understand what's going on. But I have been given second chances myself. And I understand what your saying. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt."
    She has tears in her eyes, "Thank you. Thank you Josh! I know that you must be a little hesitant. But I will not let you down. I am going to redeem myself. I promise you that."
    Josh nods, "I hope your right. Because you have a lot to make for. A lot of people to make up to."
    She nods, "I know. I'll apologize to all of them. I'm going to be making a lot of trips. I just wish I could do it all at once or something you know what I mean?"
    He nods, "Maybe you can."
    She is confused, "What?"
    He sighs, "A few years ago they started doing the annual masquerade ball again. It's coming up. Everyone in Springfield is going to be there. Alan Spaulding is actually getting married."
    Annie nods, "Of course he is. I must say it'll be difficult watching him marry someone. But I think this is a good idea. I'll be alone but I'll be able to do it."
    He takes her hand, "Maybe you won't be alone."
    Annie looks into his eyes, "Do you mean it?"
    He nods, "As long as you know we're going as friends."
    Annie smiles, "Friends. Thank you Josh."
    The two hug.

    Springfield High:
    Mindy decides to go around and say something about each of her friends.
    She starts with Phillip, "Phillip. You were one of my first boyfriends. We had the whole Spaulding/Lewis thing. Caused a lot of problems with our families. But in the end we had a strong friendship. And I am sorry for all the ways I've hurt you. I love you Phillip."
    He hugs her, "I love you too Mindy."
    She goes on, "Beth. When we were kids you were my best friend. But for some reason I was always jealous of you. It seemed like everyone wanted you and I was never enough. But I finally realized that it was your heart. You are such a giver. You are my hero Beth. And I know that all the things that I've done this past year were out of jealousy. I love you Beth. And I hope you still love me."
    Beth hugs her, "I do sweetheart. I do."
    Mindy continues, "And Rick. Rick Bauer. You know how special you are to me. I mean you are one of my biggest loves. I know we always had a strong bond that always led us to get together. And I am happy that we got to spend time together this year. And I will never forgive myself for the things I've done to you. But no matter where I go you will always have a special place in my heart Rick Bauer."
    Rick has tears in his eyes, "You too Mindy."
    Beth looks at Mindy, "Are you going to be here for the Masquerade Ball."
    Mindy nods, "Rusty and I are stopping by before we leave. How can we miss the masquerade ball?"
    Rick smiles, "We can say our official goodbyes there."
    The four stand up and hug.
    The Four Musketeers.

    Private Hearing:
    Dinah goes running outside.
    Mallet follows her, "Dinah! Dinah how could you keep this from me?"
    She cries, "I was hoping that he would go away! He never wanted anything to do with our daughter. The only reason he is doing this now is to help out his slutty girlfriend."
    Mallet holds her, "You kept this from me! Even after we found out about Belinda. You never told me that Cyrus Foley was the father."
    Dinah backs up, "Why does it matter? I told you it was some criminal bastard. Isn't that enough?"
    He shakes his head, "No! You didn't tell me that I knew him and that he was living in Springfield. That he was dating my ex wife, Belinda's biological mother!"
    Inside Harley looks at Cyrus, "What is wrong with you?! You have been keeping this secret from me?"
    Cyrus sighs, "I am so sorry Harley."
    Harley shakes her head, "I can't believe this. All along you were Belinda's biological father? You had a daughter with Dinah. Dinah Marler. You never told me any of this?"
    Cyrus sighs, "I thought she was dead! Until you told me everything last week. I didn't know what to think I was confused and in denial. Now it's a fact. But that doesn't change things."
    Harley is confused, "What does that mean?"
    Cyrus looks at her, "I'm just not ready to be a father."
    Harley is speechless.
    The judge stands up, "You four will have to settle this. And I suggest you get Mr. Aitoro to show up. Ms. Cooper things are getting pretty complicated. We're postponing everything."
    Harley walks away.
    Cyrus follows.

    Cedars:
    Cassandra looks at Tammy's Angel, "Sarah wasn't your biological daughter but she was your daughter none the less."
    Tammy nods, "I loved her so much. All I wanted was for Jonathan to save her from the Spauldings and he did."
    Cassandra nods, "And I am helping I have control of the Spauldings."
    Tammy sighs, "You've become a Spaulding. You are better than this Mom. You have to know that."
    Cassandra cries, "But it's not fair. I mean Alan is getting married. Lizzie has Sarah back. But you are still dead. You never got to have more children and become a teacher or get that house I bought for you. Why did this happen to you baby? Why did God let you die a slow painful death the night of your wedding? Why didn't your dreams get to come true?"
    Tammy sighs, "That's a lot to answer. I can't answer that all Mom. But there is a reason for everything. I promise you. My death has had negative effects but you'll see. There are so many other things in Springfield's future. Sometimes death is the sacrifice you have to make."
    Cassandra nods, "I understand."
    Tammy backs away, "You know what you have to do. I love you Mom."
    Cassandra nods, "I know. I know."
    Tammy fades away.
    Cassandra is back in her body.
    The machines go off.
    The doctors circle her, "We're losing her!"
    She whispers to herself, "Goodbye Cassandra Spaulding...."
    The machine flat-lines.

    The Annual Masquerade Ball in Springfield...



    Natalia is in another room getting ready.
    Natalia smiles, "I can't believe today is the day that I finally get to marry Alan."
    Mel sighs, "This is difficult. Helping my friend for her wedding to... Alan Spaulding."
    Natalia sighs, "I know you have your issues with the Spauldings. But Alan has really and truly changed. In so many ways. He is going to make me that happiest woman in Springfield."
    Mel smiles, "That's really what I want for you sweetheart. Where is Dinah at?"
    Natalia sighs, "She might be a little late. She has a lot going on right now with her daughter."
    Mel nods, "At least she's coming. Too bad Olivia can't make it."
    Natalia nods, "It's a shame. You know Gus can't either."
    Mel pauses, "Oh well..."
    Natalia looks at her puzzled, "Your not thinking they..."
    Mel shakes her head, "Let's not talk about this. It's your wedding day."
    Natalia grins, "I'm going to be Mrs. Alan Spaulding."




    Alan is in another room getting his suit on.
    Phillip helps him with his tie.
    Alan smiles, "Thank you Son."
    Phillip sighs, "I know we've been through a lot. But I like Natalia. That's why I'm here today. For her. You aren't going to hurt her like your other wives."
    Alan nods, "I wouldn't Natalia is my one true love."
    Alan Michael walks over, "Well we're here. We are Spauldings and we may drive each other crazy but we are there for each other in times like this."
    Alan sighs, "I wish your brother were here."
    Phillip nods, "Well you can understand. A year ago he was going to marry Natalia and raise their child. Now things are different."
    Rafe gets up, "I'm stepping out to have a smoke. I'll be back in a minute."
    Alan looks as Rafe leaves, "I'm worried about him."
    Alan Michael nods, "His mother is marrying his Grandfather. That's gotta be a weird for him."
    Alan smiles, "Well today is going to be perfect. After years and years. I Alan Spaulding am finally about to marry the woman of my dreams."



    Reva is with Chandler at a table.
    Reva sighs, "So have you decided when you are leaving town?"
    He looks at her, "I'm not sure. I mean before it wasn't a big deal. I just was going to wait for the real Annie Dutton to return. Now she did. But it feels like something is holding me hear."
    Reva smiles, "This town will do that to you."
    Chandler grins, "Or someone in this town."

    Josh walks over, "May I sit with you?"
    Reva nods, "Sure Joshua. No date?"
    Josh sighs, "I do have one. She'll be arriving shortly."

    Suddenly Jeffrey and Marah walk over.
    Jeffrey looks at Reva, "I need to speak with you."
    Reva nods, "Is everything okay?"
    Jeffrey sighs, "It's about your sister."
    Reva sits up, "Roxie?"
    He shakes his head, "No."
    Reva nods, "Cassie? What has she done now?"
    Marah sighs, "She's in the hospital Mom."
    Jeffrey nods, "I wasn't supposed to talk about it. But her doctors say it's become worse."
    Reva is confused, "What has?"
    Jeffrey sighs, "Her cancer Reva."
    The whole table is silent.



    Harley is sitting with Susan.
    Susan looks at her mother, "I don't feel right being here."
    Harley turns to her, "Why not?"
    Susan sighs, "Everyone is here. And after what happened last year."
    Harley scoots, "No. You can't talk about that ever again."

    Dinah approaches the table, "Hello Harley. Susan I heard you were back in town."
    Harley sighs, "Dinah I don't want to have any trouble tonight."
    Dinah nods, "Me either. Today is my friends wedding. It's nice to see your boyfriend didn't attend. Did you break up after what happened?"
    Harley sighs, "I don't see your husband either."
    Dinah stares, "In case you forgot it's the anniversary of the night that someone murdered his sister."
    Susan gets up and walks away.
    Harley sighs, "I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that."
    Blake walks over, "Harley."
    Harley jumps up, "Blake! You're back."
    Dinah looks at Blake, "Oh Blake. Where have you been?"
    Blake is somewhat speechless.





    Shayne walks Marina to a table.
    Marina looks around, "Where did Rocky go?"
    Shayne sighs, "We had another argument."
    Marina sighs,"Shayne this has to stop. Okay. I understand that you are hesitant about Rocky becoming a cop. But you need to let go. Rocky is a grown man who has decisions to make on his own. You aren't his boss."
    Shayne nods, "I know that! But I can't just let him make these mistakes. I can't do that."
    Marina looks at him, "Okay you know how I feel about you. So you know how hard this is for me to say. But you need to work on your relationship. You keep pushing Rocky away more and more. One day you are going to push him and he won't come back. Shayne just look for him. Before you screw up everyone's lives. Including this baby."
    Shayne gets up, "Maybe your right."



    Rocky is upset about everything going on with Shayne.
    He walks down to the basement.
    He sits on the steps and talks to himself, "Why? Why do I have to sacrifice everything I want for someone who treats me like crap? Does love have to be so..."

    Kevin walks behind him, "So what?"
    Rocky is startled, "What are you doing here?"
    Kevin walks towards him, "I saw you run down here. I didn't want to but for some reason I had to check on you."
    Rocky wipes his tears, "Well I'm good so you can go."
    Kevin sighs, "Is that true? Are you giving up your dreams for Shayne?"
    Rocky sighs, "I just have some things I want to do. But Shayne doesn't want me to have those dreams so..."
    Kevin nods, "Like becoming a cop."
    Rocky looks at him, "Exactly. Okay. I'm frustrated with the whole cop thing. But maybe he's right. No one really wants me to be a cop. No one will accept it. No matter how much I want it I need to deny myself the..."
    Kevin looks at him, "Pleasure? You sure we're talking about being a cop?"
    Rocky sighs, "Please don't do this."
    Kevin sighs, "Why is it that every time we are in a room together the heat goes up? That we both break into a sweat?"
    Rocky sighs, "I don't care. You think this is easy? To deny how much passion we have? It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do but I'm doing it."
    Kevin stares at him, "Why? For you or someone else? What do you want Rocky?"
    Rocky puts his hand on Kevin's face.



    Michelle is sitting with Bill.
    She smiles, "So are Billy and Vanessa celebrating their anniversary?"
    Bill nods, "Yeah. Dylan, Mindy, Dinah, Maureen, and I all pitched in to send them on a mini vacation."
    Michelle smiles, "Wow that's so cool. They've been together off and on for years. It must be amazing to have a love story like that."
    Bill looks at her, "Well you have a good one."
    She sighs, "Yeah. Danny and I had an amazing love story. I can't believe it's been 3 months since Danny died. I can't say I've gotten over his death. But it gets easier. Everyday. And my children just make such a difference. Also knowing that Marina is carrying Danny's child just, gives me so much happiness."
    He puts his arm around her, "You have got to be the strongest woman I know."
    Michelle shakes her head, "I don't think so."
    He nods, "You are! You are just so amazing. You have two kids that you take care of. And you still help me out with Emma and Harlan."
    Michelle grins, "You're a great father. Those kids are lucky to have you."
    Bill nods, "I'm glad they have you too."
    The two smile at each other.

    PART TWO:


    Jeffrey is explaining to everyone, "Cassie has had a brain tumor for some time now. She kept it a secret and it progressed."
    Josh looks at him, "Why didn't she try to get it removed?"
    Jeffrey sighs, "The tumor was causing her visions of Tammy. She didn't want to lose them."
    Reva has tears in her eyes, "But you said she's in the hospital? Why?"
    Jeffrey nods, "She finally agreed to have the surgery. But there were complications."
    Josh is confused, "Complications?"
    Jeffrey continues, "At one moment... they lost her."
    Reva gasps, "Oh my God!"
    Jeffrey sighs, "They were able to revive her but... she has some serious damage. She's fallen into a coma. They are going to wait a few days before..."
    Josh looks at him, "Before what?"
    Jeffrey looks at them, "They will go over the options."
    Marah looks at her family, "We need to keep it quiet for now. The Spauldings might use this against her."
    The family is worried for the estranged member.


    Harley hugs Blake, "How have you been? Where have you been?"
    Blake sighs, "I'm good I just had something that I had to do."
    Dinah scoffs, "Well Clarissa missed you and so did your Sons. What was more important than your children Blake?"
    Blake turns to her, "Dinah. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?"
    Dinah smiles, "Clearly no one has filled you in on what's been going on. I have to go get my dress on for the wedding. Excuse me."
    Blake is confused, "The Wedding?"
    Harley nods, "Alan and Natalia."
    Blake nods, "Oh wow. Well I hope he's good to her. She's a sweetheart."
    Harley looks around, "I'll be back I have to look for Susan."
    Blake is confused, "Susan?"
    Harley is gone

    Ed bumps into her, "Oh hey Blake. How are you?"
    Blake smiles, "Oh hey Ed. I just got back in town."
    Ed nods, "Oh where did you go?"
    She sighs, "Just doing stuff for work."
    Ed nods, "Oh. That's nice."
    He starts to walk away.
    She walks behind him, "Where did you think I was going? To see Ross?"
    Ed turns to her, "What are you talking about?"
    Blake sighs, "Don't play dumb with me Ed. That's where I really was. And you much like Phillip and Rick, new Ross was alive all along."
    Ed and Blake stare at each other for a moment.



    Jonathan, Aubrey, and Liz walk in.
    Aubrey goes to put up her coat.
    Liz turns to Jonathan, "Listen. We need to talk."
    Jonathan nods, "Okay sure. Let's go..."
    Aubrey walks over, "Oh I'm getting dizzy."
    Jonathan turns to her, "Are you okay?"
    Aubrey sighs, "Could you just help me sit down?"
    Jonathan walks her to a table.
    He looks to the waiter, "Could you get us some water my wife is pregnant."
    Liz stares.
    She now sees them as a husband and his pregnant wife.
    Can she really break them up?
    Is this her karma for what she did to Tammy?
    Liz walks away.
    Liz walks down the hall, "I don't know what I was thinking. Even if he leaves her, Tammy will always be the love of his life. Maybe some people just aren't meant to have a true love?"
    Liz goes to the steps.
    Her heal breaks and she falls.
    Before she hits the stairs a gentleman catches her.
    She looks up, "Thank you... Remy?"
    Remy sighs, "Hey Liz. Haven't seen you in a while."
    Liz nods, "Yeah welcome back to Springfield."




    Michelle smiles at Bill, "I love playing with your children. I mean Emma is growing up so fast. And your baby boy. He is just as cute as his Daddy."
    Bill nods, "Your kids are great too. I mean Robbie is a funny little man. And of course Hope is growing up to be almost exactly like her mother."
    She sighs, "She is a lot like me. She has already had a parent pass away."
    Bill nods, "And now my Son is going to be like me and grow up with one of his parents out of the picture."
    She turns to him, "I know this is going to sound strange. But does it ever seem odd how our lives have both sort of.... I don't know went through simaler ups and downs leading us here?"
    He nods, "Oh you mean like how my wife and your husband were doing a business deal we knew nothing about but were brought together on after your husband died and my wife went into a coma."
    She nods, "And we were each left with a couple of kids. And doing the one thing we swore we'd never do. End up like our parents."
    Bill smiles, "But our parents don't have what we have."
    Michelle looks into Bill's eyes.
    The two kiss.


    Rocky looks into Kevin's eyes, "I know how I feel. You know how I feel. But..."
    Kevin nods, "Shayne doesn't know or care."
    Rocky shakes his head, "You don't even know him."
    Kevin sighs, "I know you. You didn't plan this Rocky. Neither did I. But it is happening. It's fate.
    Rocky backs up, "No! No."
    Kevin looks into his eyes, "Ask yourself. If you think it's good for anyone if you stay in a loveless relationship with Shayne. When every bit of your heart is screaming my name?"
    Rocky sighs, "I don't want to fight this anymore."
    The two start kissing.
    Kevin takes a deep breathe, "This feels right."
    Rocky smiles, "I know."
    The two are making out against the back wall.
    Shayne sees the basement door is open.
    He steps in to see if Rocky is there.
    He takes one step and goes into complete shock.
    It's dark.
    But he sees his fiance Rocky kissing another man.
    Then he sees.
    Kevin Marler, the man who attacked Rocky.
    Shayne's body fills with rage.
    He steps back out before they notice him.
    He stumbles back.
    Shayne runs out of the building.
    He is out by his car.
    He punches the door.
    Still in complete shock he remains speechless.
    Marina runs over, "Shayne. Shayne what's going on?"
    Shayne turns to her.
    In all of his passion he pulls her into a kiss.


    The wedding has begun.
    Natalia and Alan are standing together.
    Mel and Dinah are behind Natalia.
    Phillip and Alan Michael are behind their father.
    Rafe holds his baby brother on the side.
    Natalia starts her vows, "Alan. When I came to this town I was looking for a part of my past I never thought I'd see again. And then I met this big billionaire. Who was so intimidating. I had this whole plan for my life and you weren't in it. You had this dark side that scared me. But through God we got through our obstacles. Now it's our wedding day. And after this we will spend eternity as one. Now I am going to be your wife. Forever. You are the love of my life Alan. Now and Forever."
    Alan wipes a tear, "Natalia. I want to say I've had weddings before. But nothing like this. I have never had anything like this. Our relationship has changed me. I didn't want to change. Which is why I resisted you. But now I can hardly remember who I was before you. Now I feel truely happy. And complete. Who would have thought I'd have Great Grandchildren before I'd meet the woman I was meant to be with. I am done being Evil Alan Spaulding. Just like the angels in heaven. You are an angel on earth who is looking out for me. Thank you Natalia for freeing me and making me happier than I have ever been. I finally feel like I can have true happiness. A curse is broken today. You are the love of my life Natalia. Now and Forever."
    Father Ray talks, "Do you Natalia Rivera take Alan Spaulding to be your wife til death do you part?"
    Natalia nods, "I do."
    Father Ray turns to Alan, "Do you take this woman to be your wife til death do you part?"
    Alan grins, "I do."
    Ray grins, "By the power vested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss."
    Alan grins, "I love you Natalia!"
    She cries, "I love you Alan!"
    The two kiss.

    Reva Shayne is leaving early.
    She bumps into a blonde woman in a mask.
    She apologizes, "Sorry I'm in a hurry."
    The woman stops, "Reva..."
    Reva turns and accidentally bumps the woman down the stairs.
    Josh runs over and helps her up.
    Her mask falls.
    Annie Dutton stands before them.
    Everyone is in shock.
    Blake and Harley gasp.
    Phillip stares in shock.
    Dinah turns as well.
    Alan can't believe his eyes.
    Reva has a sense of deja vu.
    Annie Dutton has made her entrance.

    The Masquerade Ball continues in Springfield...




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

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

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

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



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



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



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



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


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



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

    PART TWO:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Cedars:



    Josh, Reva, Jeffrey, and Marah sit in the waiting room.
    They are waiting for news on what happened to Cassandra.
    Everyone is tense.

    Dr. Michelle Bauer walks over.
    They all stand up.
    Reva sighs, "So what have you found out?"
    Michelle sighs, "Well they were able to remove the tumor from her head."
    Reva takes a deep breathe, "Thank goodness."
    Jeffrey nods, "So she's got a lot of healing to do huh?"
    Michelle sighs, "More than you know. I'm sorry but there were complications in the surgery as we warned. They tried to help her. But there was some damage done to her brain. And we will not know what the problems are until when she wakes up."
    Josh is confused, "Wakes up?"
    Michelle nods, "She has been comatose since her surgery. I'm sorry. But until she wakes up we won't know anything."
    Marah nods, "How long will that Michelle?"
    Michelle sighs, "We don't know."
    Reva has tears in her eyes, "So your saying that they got the tumor, but she suffered brain damage that we won't know about until she wakes up and that may never even happen!"
    Michelle sighs, "I'm so sorry."
    Josh sits Reva down.
    Michelle hugs her friend Marah before she leaves the family to have their alone time.



    Beacon:


    After Emma leaves Olivia goes downstairs.
    She is checking on Gus who is lying on the floor of his room.
    Gus scoffs, "Go away Olivia!"
    Olivia looks around, "You know the maids complained about your room? I've never gotten complaints like that before."
    Gus sighs, "You know I once dated a hotel maid."
    Olivia nods, "Natalia. I know. Listen Gus. Do you really want Natalia to find out about this when she comes back to work?"
    Gus shakes his head, "No."
    She looks at him, "What about the maids. What if they above me? And then you and Harley end up losing Belinda. And maybe Angela. Then do you think Harley will let you see Zach or Jude anymore? Rafe won't want anything to do with you after that. You will be all alone. Is that what you want?"
    Gus sighs, "You don't understand."
    Olivia nods, "Oh yes I do. Bill helped me deal with my alcoholism. Now I'm returning the favor by helping you deal with your pill popping. Gus whether we like it or not we are friends now."
    He rubs her face, "Just friends?"
    Olivia sighs, "More than friends. Less than lovers."
    Olivia helps Gus into bed.



    Harley's House:


    Cyrus walks down the hall.
    Susan is throwing up with the bathroom door open.
    He walks in, "Oh God! Susan what the hell?"
    She laughs, "I can't get up."
    He helps her to her feet, "Your mother is pulling into the driveway. You want her to smack you?"
    Susan laughs, "She can. I can't even feel my face."
    He takes her into her bedroom.

    Just then Harley comes inside.
    She walks up the stairs.
    She is getting ready to see Susan but goes into the other bedroom first.
    Belinda is sitting on her bed.
    She wipes tears when Harley walks in, "What?"
    Harley sighs, "Are you okay sweetheart?"
    Belinda shakes her head, "I'm fine."
    Harley sits next to her, "What's that in your hand?"
    She opens it up.
    A necklace with the letter C on it.
    Belinda sighs, "It was the only thing I had from my mother. I don't even know what it means."
    Harley sighs, "Well Dinah said that she named you Chamberlin. After Vanessa's maiden name. Vanessa is Dinah's mother."
    Belinda nods, "My Grandmother."
    Harley slowly nods, "Yes. Then you got nicknamed Lin for short. Then the Driscolls gave you the full name Belinda."
    Belinda stares at the necklace, "I always wondered if one day my real mother would come back and find me."
    Harley's heart breaks.



    Malah House:


    Mallet walks over to Dinah, "Hello."
    She sighs, "Hey."
    He looks at her, "I think maybe we should talk."
    She turns to him, "About?"
    Mallet sighs, "Everything."
    Dinah nods, "Mallet I'm not going to apologize for what I did. I was not going to let Cyrus Foley back into my life."
    Mallet sighs, "Why couldn't you come to me? Why couldn't you trust and confide in me?"
    Dinah sighs, "I don't know. Mallet I just didn't want you to look at me that way."
    He is confused, "What way?"
    She sighs, "The way you are looking at me right now. That look of disappointment and frustration. I hate it when you look at me like that."
    Mallet looks at her, "Dinah I love you. I'm not trying to upset you. I want you to get custody of Belinda. But you need to believe in me. You need to believe in us."
    Dinah takes a deep breathe, "I wish I could tell you that was going to be easy for me. But Belinda coming back into my life has complicated me. She fills me with so much happiness. But my motherly instincts are even stronger now. I have her and Anthony to think about. I will do whatever I have to for my children."
    Dinah walks away.
    Mallet is worried about her.



    Spaulding Mansion:

    The gates to the Spaulding Mansion are open.
    Cassandra's reign has ended.

    Phillip, Beth, and Liz walk inside.
    Phillip smiles, "It feels good being back here."
    Beth smiles, "I know what you mean."
    Liz looks around, "It feels like the old days."
    Phillip looks over at his daughter, "You know you are welcome to move back in with Sarah."
    Liz sighs, "Jonathan wouldn't want to move back in here. And I want to stay close with him. Sarah should have us both under one roof with her."
    Beth grins, "Well soon we'll all be back here. Once your father is back in the CEO chair."
    Alan Michael's voice, "My chair."


    Alan Michael, Mel, Alexandra, and Rafe walk up.
    Alexandra sighs, "Now boys come on. Let's all be happy that Cassie is out of here and we are back home."
    Alan Michael shakes his head, "I just don't want Phillip to get his heart set on being CEO. I will be the CEO of Spaulding Phillip."
    Phillip sighs, "I'm not trying to hurt you little brother. But I have plans for this family."
    Mel nods, "So does Alan Michael."
    Beth scoffs, "Mel why don't we stay out of this."
    Mel shakes her head, "Well unlike you two, our relationship is a partnership. I don't need to be some trophy wife."
    Rafe walks over to Liz, "We need to talk cousin."
    Liz is confused, "What about?"
    The two couples are arguing in the middle of the room.
    Suddenly they hear a noise.
    "Why don't you all stop fighting?"
    They all look up at the balcony.
    Annie Dutton is looking down on them.




    Marina's House:


    Marina is crying in her bed.
    Shayne walks in, "Can we talk."
    Marina sobs, "Leave me alone!"
    Shayne sighs, "I am so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was upset and I turned to you for comfort."
    She looks at him, "What the hell is wrong with you? I am pregnant. I'm still mourning Danny. I have made it very clear how I feel about you. And you have the nerve to use me in order to make my uncle jealous?"
    Shayne sighs, "I wasn't doing that. I was upset and I was lost in the moment. I needed a friend."
    She scoffs, "A friend. You know what I do when I need a friend. I cry on their shoulder! I don't screw them and break their heart!"
    He looks at her, "Maybe there is a way we can work this out. We live together. We should work through this."
    She shakes her head, "No! You go! I'm giving you and Rocky the rest of the month the find a new place. I want you out!"
    He sighs, "You don't mean that. We need to do what's best for the baby remember?"
    She scoffs, "If you think I still plan on giving you my baby then you aren't just sick you're a fool."
    Shayne can't believe what he's hearing.

    PART TWO:

    Harley's House:
    Harley looks at Belinda, "Do you wonder about your mother?"
    Belinda sighs, "Dinah... that's her name."
    Harley nods, "Yes. Dinah."
    Belinda looks down, "Uh... that's Clarissa Marler's sister I think."
    Harley sighs, "Uh yeah. You know Clarissa. You played with her right? Didn't you go to Dinah's house?"
    Belinda nods, "She wasn't there then. We met her husband...."
    Harley nods, "Mallet."
    Belinda, "Is he my father?"
    Harley shakes her head, "No he's not. We'll tell you about your father another time."
    Belinda is confused, "We?"
    Harley nods, "Yes. Me and Gus."
    Belinda looks down, "Not Dinah..."
    Harley fights tears, "Okay. I have been doing a lot to keep you with me. But I haven't asked you and that is the first thing I should have done. Now I'm going to ask you. Don't worry about my feelings. This is your chance. You need to tell me the truth. Do you want to be with your biological mother? Do you want to be with Dinah?"
    Belinda's eyes fill with tears.

    Beacon:
    Olivia sits with Gus.
    He passed out on his bed.
    Olivia stares at him, "Gus Aitoro. I never thought that we'd be friends. I never thought I could just be friends with a man without sleeping with him or something. Gus I have made so many mistakes. And I knew one day I would have to pay for it. That day at the bank I thought was it. But you saved me and now I know. I am paying back, by saving you from yourself."
    Olivia gets up.
    She walks across the room.
    Olivia looks into the mirror, "Who are you kidding? You want to be more than friends. But you'll never be first with him. You've been here before. Josh loved Reva. Phillip loved Beth. Gus loves Harley. Harley is the love of his life. Natalia couldn't change that, neither can I."
    Olivia looks at Gus.
    She covers him with a blanket.
    After that she turns off the light and walks out.
    Olivia is in the hallway.
    Cyrus is standing there, "Hello Ms. Spencer."
    She sighs, "Cyrus Foley. Eaves dropping?"
    He sighs, "Gus looks like hell. I hear he's popping pills again."
    Olivia nods, "We're trying to keep that to ourselves."
    Cyrus smiles, "We?"
    Olivia scoffs, "What can I do for you Mr. Foley?"
    Cyrus grins, "I think it's we do for ourselves. You can help me Ms. Spencer. And I'll help you."
    Olivia stares at Cyrus.

    Cedars:
    Reva is crying.
    Josh hugs her, "I'm so sorry Reva."
    Reva sighs, "I have not even spent much time with my sister this past year. She hated me. Now she may never wake up. I guess I always figured one day we'd be close again."
    Josh nods, "You will be. I know that I had a lot to do with what happened to Cassie. I will never forgive myself for it."
    Reva shakes her head, "Joshua. It wasn't that. Tammy's death changed everything. She was never the same after that."
    Jeffrey walks over, "Before that. She was a different woman. It all was a spiral down. Then Tammy died she just lost it."
    Marah looks around, "She knew about the tumor before Tammy. What could have happened that caused her to not want to fight?"
    Michelle sighs, "I think we all know who did that."

    Edmund walks in the doors, "Where is she? Where is Cassie?"
    All eyes are on him.
    Jeffrey sighs, "Edmund get the hell out of here. You aren't welcome."
    Edmund scoffs, "Me. I'm her only friend. You people aren't even in her life anymore."
    Reva looks at him, "You bastard! You are the reason."
    Edmund is confused, "What are you talking about?"
    Jeffrey sighs, "Cassie's brain tumor."
    Edmund looks around, "Yes. How long did she have it?"
    Josh sighs, "Years Edmund. She found out shortly after you were locked up."
    Edmund turns to Michelle, "Where is she?"
    Michelle backs away, "Edmund I told you never to speak to me. Get out of this hospital before I have you thrown out."
    Michelle walks away.
    A frustrated Edmund leaves Cedars.
    Jeffrey goes to make a phone call.
    Marah sneaks outside.
    Marah follows Edmund, "Hey. Edmund."
    He turns, "You come to yell at me too?"
    Marah sighs, "I will tell you the information on Cassie."
    Edmund shakes his head, "Why do you want to help me?"
    Marah looks at him, "I don't blame you for Cassie."
    Edmund looks confused towards Marah.

    Marina's House:
    Shayne stares at Marina, "Please don't say that."
    Marina looks at him, "I never should have promised to give you my child. You would be a horrible father. You and Rocky would ruin this child's life. You don't even love each other."
    Shayne sighs, "Marina you don't understand..."
    She shouts, "No you don't understand. You don't even understand what love is! One day you love women the next you love men, then women, then men! What are you Shayne!"
    Shayne sighs, "It's not that simple! Marina please! I'm so sorry. I know I hurt you. But I love this child."
    Marina turns to him, "Well we have something in common because so do I. And I will never let you anywhere near it."
    He stares, "But Rocky and I have been buying baby toys and designing a nursery and picking out names."
    Marina remains on her bed, "I don't care. I'm not going to tell Rocky. I'll let you do that."
    Shayne sighs, "About the baby or about what happened?"
    Marina has tears in her eyes, "Both."
    A very upset Shayne leaves her room.
    Marina cries herself to sleep.

    Malah House:
    Dinah is sitting on the stairs.
    Mallet sits next to her, "Babe you know that I will stand by you through this. Every step of the way."
    Dinah sighs, "But that's the thing. I don't want you to do that. I don't want you to have to do these things for me."
    Mallet looks at her, "Listen. Anthony, he is our child. Belinda is your child, that makes her my child too."
    Dinah has tears in her eyes, "Do you really mean that?"
    He nods, "I do Dinah. You are my wife. My love. Everything. We'll all be a family. You, me, Maureen, Belinda, Anthony. One big happy family in our beautiful home."
    Dinah grins, "It's the life that I always wanted."
    Suddenly the doorbell rings.
    They both get up.
    Dinah opens the door.
    Harley is standing there holding bags.
    Dinah stares at her, "What are you doing here Harley?"
    Harley has a blank expression on her face, "Don't let me change my mind Dinah."
    Mallet walks over, "Change your mind about what?"
    Harley sighs, "She's in the car. Your daughter is waiting for you Dinah."
    Dinah can't believe what Harley is doing for her.

    Spaulding Mansion:
    Annie Dutton looks down at the Spauldings, "Hello. I haven't seen any of you in a long time. Phillip, Beth. Lizzie you have grown up. Alex, Alan Michael. You Spauldings. I've heard a lot."
    Phillip looks up, "Annie why are you here?"
    Alex scoffs, "Look what the cat dragged in."
    Annie sighs, "Like any of you have room to talk. I know what you have done to the Lewis family."
    Phillip nods, "What we did?"
    Annie sighs, "I guess Alan was in charge but the Spauldings didn't stop him. You all have a lot to make up for just like me."
    Liz sighs, "What do you want from us?"
    Annie looks at them, "Josh has been good to me. Ever since I came back. I won't let you hurt him or his family again."
    Alan Michael scoffs, "Annie Dutton get out of our home."
    Annie shakes her head, "It's not your house. Last I heard the rules still were that whoever the CEO was had control of the house. That's Cassie."
    Beth sighs, "Annie, Cassie was announced to be comatose this morning. She is not going to in her chair as CEO."
    Annie nods, "So did she appoint anyone to take her place in case she didn't make it?"
    Phillip sighs, "Edmund Winslow I'm sure. But we can handle Edmund."
    Annie shakes her head, "You know I spoke with Cassie my first day back here. She told me about Tammy. It's tragic. She also told me that she broke up with Edmund."
    Alex gets frustrated, "What are you talking about?"
    Annie sighs, "She told me who she named her replacement if something happened. That person signed papers. And is now CEO of Spaulding Enterprises."
    Phillip looks up, "Who is in control of Spaulding?"
    Annie looks down from the balcony, "That would be me."
    The Spauldings stare in shock.
    Annie Dutton is in full control of Spaulding Enterprises.

    Spaulding Mansion:



    Annie Dutton walks down to the Spauldings.
    Phillip looks at her, "You must be joking."
    Annie shakes her head, "I kid you not. Cassie named me as the new CEO of Spaulding Enterprises."
    Alexandra sighs, "Oh good God. Annie Dutton, this psychopath, is running our company?"
    Annie turns to her, "It's nice to see you too Alex. Listen I want you all to know that I have changed."
    Alan Michael looks at her, "Do you expect anyone to believe that?"
    Annie nods, "I certainly hope so. Because it's the truth. I'm trying to redeem myself."
    Phillip nods, "By going after our family?"
    Annie shakes her head, "I'm not trying to hurt your family. But I am protecting Springfield from you family. Especially the Lewises."
    Alex walks over to her, "Like your one to talk, after all of the horrible things you've done."
    Annie nods, "I'm quite aware Alexandra. But I have to believe that I can make things right by preventing more wrongs."
    Phillip looks at her, "Annie. You really don't understand what you are doing."
    Annie sighs, "Phillip I'm sorry. But I'm the new CEO. Listen, you are all welcome to live here. I don't want to take your home from you. All I ask is that you show me respect."
    Alan Michael scoffs, "It doesn't matter. Because before long I will be the new CEO and your butt will be on the curb with the rest of the trash."
    Alan Michael walks over to pour drinks.



    Malah House:


    Dinah is shocked, "Harley are you really giving Belinda back to me?"
    Harley looks at them with a blank expression, "I remember when I was a young girl. I gave my baby Daisy up for adoption. Then she came back into my life as Susan. And I realized that a mother/daughter bond is something that shouldn't be messed with and a mother and daughter should never be kept away from each other."
    Mallet looks at her, "Harley are you sure about this?"
    Harley shakes her head, "No. But the fact of the matter is Belinda told me that she wants to be with you two. I'm not going to stand in her way. I will never do that."
    Dinah looks at her, "Harley I'm..."
    Harley hands her the bags, "No Dinah. Just stop before I change my mind. Okay? Please?"
    Dinah takes the bags.
    Belinda walks up to the door.
    Dinah has tears in her eyes, "Oh my Baby."
    Belinda walks towards her.
    Suddenly the two are in an emotional hug."
    A depressed Harley walks away.
    Belinda runs after her, "Harley..." She hugs her, "Thank you Harley."
    Harley sighs, "Our home is always open to you. You are one of us no matter what sweetheart."
    Dinah and Mallet both have tears in their eyes.



    Towers:


    Cyrus and Olivia are sitting at a table.
    Olivia looks at him, "Okay I'm intrigued. Now will you explain to me what your so called plan is?"
    Cyrus sighs, "Well you are helping Gus with his pill addiction. I'm helping Susan with an addiction of her own. Harley doesn't know."
    Olivia looks at him, "Harley doesn't know. She is Susan's mother."
    He sighs, "I'm not letting her find out. She doesn't need this now with everything going on."
    She stares at him, "Okay so we are both in messed up situations. What does that matter."
    Cyrus leans in, "I can help you with Gus and you can help me with Susan."
    Olivia shakes her head, "I don't think so. Gus hates you because Harley is with you and not him. Susan is a Cooper. The Cooper's haven't been to happy with me since I broke Frank and Buzz's hearts."
    He laughs, "Wait I knew you were with Buzz, but Frank too?"
    Olivia sighs, "Drop it. Okay? Now I don't get what your saying. We can't just team up and make everything all better with a magic wand."
    He nods, "I know that. But I have a plan. A way that we can help Gus and Susan together. But you have to trust me. Because it is going to get very complicated and people could get hurt."
    A confused Olivia stares at Cyrus.



    Cedars:


    Ed, Rick and Michelle are all standing together.
    Ed smiles, "So what are my children up to today?"
    Michelle goes over her chart, "I have a few quick things then I think we can all do lunch."
    Rick nods, "Me too. But I do have some mentoring stuff to do. A few of us Doctors were chosen to give some advice and tips to some of the medical students at Springfield U."

    Ashlee walks up, "Rick?"
    Rick smiles, "Hey Ashlee. Are you the student?"
    She nods, "Yeah I'm so excited. I requested a Bauer because I know how great doctors you all are."
    Michelle smiles, "Well you got a good Bauer and a good doctor. My brother here is going to have a lot to teach you."
    Rick laughs, "Well my sister's a dork but she speaks the truth. I'm excited to talk with you Ashlee."
    Ashlee smiles, "I am ready to learn. What can I do for you first?"
    Rick laughs, "You can refill my coffee."
    Ashlee grabs it, "Right away!"
    Rick is surprised, "Oh Ashlee I was joking it's not even empty."
    Ashlee doesn't hear him and rushes down the hall.
    She goes to fast and accidentally runs into a woman, pouring the hot coffee all over her blouse.
    Ashlee gasps, "Oh Miss I'm so sorry!"
    The woman is furious, "God are you a complete moron?"
    Roxie Shayne looks down at her coffee soaked blouse.




    Reva Bend:


    Josh walks Reva inside.
    Reva sighs, "Just go Joshua. I'm fine now."
    Josh follows her, "Reva we just got very bad news about Cassie. You aren't okay. Let me help you."
    She sighs, "Just leave. Go find your girlfriend Annie Dutton."
    Josh shakes his head, "Annie isn't my girlfriend!"
    She turns to him, "You sure seemed pretty cozy with her at the Masquerade Ball!"
    He sighs, "Reva, Annie is trying to redeem herself. I feel like I should give her the benefit of the doubt."
    She shakes her head, "No. No. I don't think so. Annie Dutton doesn't get the benefit of the doubt. That woman is sick, she's twisted, she is a monster and I can't believe you let her back in our life?"
    Josh shouts, "Our life? We don't have a life. I have my life. You have yours. You do whatever you want with yours. I'm going to do whatever the hell I want to do with mine!"
    Reva scoffs, "Like throwing it away?"
    Josh turns to her, "I'm not doing that!"
    She sighs, "I am worried about you. You seem to have forgotten what Annie Dutton is capable of."
    He turns to her, "No Reva. But I'm always surprised to learn what your capable of."
    Josh walks away from her.



    Park:


    Rocky and Shayne walk through the park hand in hand.
    Rocky can tell something is wrong, "Shayne is everything alright?"
    Shayne turns to him, "I'm fine. Why?"
    Rocky sighs, "You seem to be thinking about something. What's on your mind?"
    Shayne looks at him, "Rocky we need to talk about something."
    Rocky looks at him, "Your worrying me. What's going on?"
    Shayne sighs, "Things are getting kind of complicated. I think we need to talk about a few things."
    Rocky sighs, "Listen. Let's not do this. I know what this is about Shayne. I know."
    Shayne stares, "You do?"
    Rocky nods, "We've been fighting a lot lately. But I don't care anymore. If you are willing to do all of these things to help us have a family raising Marina's baby, then I can make sacrifices myself. I'm giving up the whole cop thing now."
    Shayne is surprised, "Are you serious? You'd really do that?"
    Rocky nods, "I am doing that. For us Shayne. Now do you still want to talk about this?"
    Shayne is speechless.

    PART TWO:

    Cedars:
    Roxie Shayne is furious, "You burned my chest you ignorant little brat!"
    Ashlee tries to help her, "I'm so sorry it was a complete accident. I didn't mean to. I was just so nervous."
    Roxie looks at her, "Are you nuts? What is wrong with you?"
    Rick walks up, "Oh God what happened?"
    Roxie sighs, "This girl spilled hot coffee all over me."
    Ashlee turns to him, "Dr. Bauer I'm so sorry. I didn't see her."
    Rick helps clean up, "Roxie I don't think Ashlee meant to do this. Roxie this is Ashlee Wolfe. Mayor Wolfe's daughter."
    Roxie laughs, "The Mayor who's in jail?"
    Rick looks at Ashlee, "This is Roxie Shayne. She is Reva's sister."
    Ashlee giggles, "Roxie. My friend Lizzie has a dog named Roxy."
    Roxie stares at her, "Thanks for the info. I'll keep an eye out for her. Maybe we can do lunch."
    Ashlee sighs, "I really am sorry."
    Roxie looks at her, "Just stop."
    Rick sighs, "Ashlee why don't you just go chat with my Dad and my sister for a little bit okay?"
    Ashlee walks away.
    Rick turns to Roxie, "I know she comes on a little strong but she's a sweet girl. She used to baby sit for me all the time."
    Roxie sighs, "I'm sorry. Will you help me find clothes to wear?"
    Rick walks Roxie down the hall.
    He is surprised to see this side of her.

    Reva Bend:
    Reva looks at Josh, "What the hell are you talking about?"
    Josh turns to her, "You got some nerve getting onto me about being around Annie. You're the one who knew that Annie was back in Springfield and decided not to tell anyone."
    She scoffs, "I wanted her to go without causing trouble. I didn't realize I was supposed to throw her a welcome home party!"
    Josh looks at her, "Oh yeah by the way, when were you going to tell me that you and Chandler found out about the impostor and were looking for Annie all along?"
    Reva sighs, "Looks like Annie can still get to you."
    Josh shakes his head, "Is it true Reva? That's all I'm asking. Just give me a yes or no."
    Reva sighs, "Yes. I knew."
    He backs up, "You know I didn't want to believe it. But somehow this doesn't surprise me. This last year you have just been revealing one shocking secret after another."
    Reva nods, "So it's obvious your still upset about me lying about Jonathan and Sarah."
    Josh grabs his coat, "I am not going to deal with this now. I'm tired of talking with you Reva."
    Reva shouts, "I hope you know what you've gotten yourself into. Because Annie Dutton could eat you alive!"
    Josh looks at her, "No one could hurt me more than you have."
    Josh leaves Reva in tears.

    Park:
    Shayne looks down, "I just.... I'm sorry I'm still shocked that you are giving up this whole cop thing."
    Rocky nods, "It took me a while. But I want to put you first. And I know this is what you want."
    Shayne nods, "I only want what's best for you."
    Rocky smiles, "I know you do. And you know what's best for me. Aren't you glad we've got everything out?"
    Shayne grins, "Yeah. It's good for us. Get everything out of our system. So nothing will be holding us back at our wedding."
    Rocky looks at him, "Can you believe that in a few weeks we'll be joined together for life?"
    Shayne holds his hands, "I knew we'd end up together. And I am going to do everything to make sure that we have a happy life together."
    Rocky nods, "And we won't let anything stand our way of us being happy together."
    Shayne smiles, "Rocky you have no idea how happy I am to hear you say that to me. I love you."
    Rocky grins, "I love you too."
    The two kiss.
    Shayne walks Rocky back to the house.
    Neither of them confessing the truth.

    Towers:
    Olivia is with Cyrus still, "Okay. So what exactly did you have in mind to help Gus and Susan?"
    Cyrus explains, "Okay. Harley told me about the cabin that she took Gus to in order to detox alone."
    Olivia nods, "Gus said something about that. The one Beth held him and Alan captive in which is what caused everything."
    He sighs, "I know it sounds crazy. But what if we all four went up there and helped the two of them detox."
    She sits back, "I don't know. People get very violent in those situations. I don't know how we could handle it."
    He leans in, "Listen. We need some place that is away from Springfield where we can keep everyone away."
    Olivia sighs, "If and when Harley finds out about this, she is going to be furious with you."
    Cyrus nods, "I know."
    Olivia looks at him, "Do you? Not only are you keeping the secret about her daughter. But you are getting involved with her ex husband and me, she hates me very much."
    He sighs "We are doing this for Harley."
    Olivia laughs, "I'm not."
    Cyrus sighs, "Are we working together or not?"
    Olivia gives in.
    The two partners shake hands.

    Belinda walks into the living room.
    She looks at all of the pictures of relatives.
    Mallet steps out of the room.
    Dinah walks over to her, "We're going to tell you all about your family. Your Grandma Vanessa will come over later okay? But first there is one other person you need to meet first."
    Mallet walks back in holding the baby, "Belinda this is your little brother Anthony."
    Belinda walks over, "I have a baby brother?"
    They all sit on the couch.
    They put him in her arms.
    Belinda looks down into her brothers eyes.

    Spaulding Mansion:
    Annie walks around the office, "I'm not trying to upset anyone. But I do demand respect in my house."
    Alex scoffs, "Oh would you please stop referring to this as your house. This is and always will be the Spaulding Mansion. And you my Darling are no Spaulding. You never will be."
    Annie nods, "I know. And I have no desires to be a Spaulding. Believe me. I just want to do some good in this town."
    Phillip sighs, "You can start by giving us back our company. Annie please. You don't want to get involved in this."
    Annie sighs, "Phillip. You are my friend. But I am a good business woman and I know what I'm doing. I will prove to all of you that I am going to do a good job. The Spauldings will be a family that people are proud to be a part of in this town."
    Alan Michael laughs, "Annie we've heard this before. The Spauldings are evil, bad, crazy, to powerful for their own good. But the fact of the matter is that we always come out on top. If you continue to battle us you will soon know the wrath of the Spauldings."
    Alex walks over, "What my nephew is trying to say is that we are the Spauldings. And the Spauldings will do whatever we have to do to get what we want."
    Annie nods, "Well I'm Annie Dutton. And I don't give up without a fight. Bring it on."
    Annie walks out of the room.
    The Spauldings all stare as she leaves.

  24. JAYJAY
    It's a very sad time in Springfield. Most of the town is at the church. Mourning the death of Cassandra Layne Winslow.

    The Church: Reva and Jeffrey are sitting in the church, "I just can't believe she gone Jeffrey."
    "Yeah I know sweetie."
    "I mean, we fought a lot latley but I still loved her." Reva cries, "What am I going to do without my little sister."
    Josh walks in with Olivia. Olivia can see he's upset, "Hey you okay?"
    Josh's mind is somewhere else, "Huh, oh yeah I guess. RJ is on his way with Blake. He took the news really hard."
    Josh walks over to Reva and gives her a hug, "How you holding up?"
    "I'm okay Joshua. Is Marah coming?"
    "I'm not sure."

    Spaulding Mansion: Natalia and Gus are at the door getting ready for the funeral. Alan walks over, "Oh wait, we'll go in my car."
    Gus stares at him.
    Alan is confused, "What?"
    "You can't be serious. You ruined Cassie's life. You made her the way she was. She hated you Alan. You murdered her daughter. If you come to that funeral I'll shoot you on spot."
    Alan looks for help from Natalia but she just stands there.

    The Church: Dylan and Harley show up. Dylan walks over to Reva. Harley sees Blake looking at pictures, "Hey sweetie." The two share an emotional hug.
    "I can't believe this Harley. She was our best friend."
    "Some friend I was. I haven't talked to her in weeks. I only went to visit her once."
    "You feel guilty? I used her to get Jeffrey, pushed her with Josh and humiliated her on that stupid website."
    "You know what? We shouldn't be doing this. We need to be strong for the kids. How's RJ?"
    "Oh he is very upset. He doesn't want to talk to anyone."

    Bauer House: Rick and Beth are in the kitchen getting ready, "You okay sweetie?"
    Beth is just looking at the baby, "Oh yeah. I just remembered this was the outfit Cassie bought her." Beth fights back tears.
    Rick hugs her, "Honey it's okay to cry. She was a really good friend."
    Beth looks at Baby Bertha, "Yeah, a really good friend." She remembers the last time she saw Cassie. When Cassie told her about the test switch.

    The Church: Mallet and Dinah walk in. Mallet holds Dinah's hand, "You okay Babe?"
    "I just can't believe this. I didn't expect our honeymoon to end like this."
    "Yeah I know."
    "Do you think it's wrong that I'm here?"
    "What? No."
    "Do you think people might get offended? I mean before I met you, I wanted this."
    "No don't talk like that. You and Cassie forgave each other."
    Vanessa and Billy come over to Dinah, "Hello. How are you?"
    "I'm fine Mom. How are you doing Billy?"
    "I'm hanging in there. I'm gonna go check on Reva."
    The guest take their seats.

    PART TWO:

    The Church: Jeffrey and Josh are talking, "How are you doing Josh?"
    "I'll be alright. I just wish I could have stopped this you know."
    "Josh it was out of our hands. Cassie was sick."
    "Well maybe if I had been there more after Tammy's death..."
    "Josh... it started before Tammy's death."
    "What are you talking about?"
    "Everything that happened with Edmund, Dinah and Jonathan was a lot for her to handle. I mean Edmund hurt her, Dinah and Jonathan hurt her, Alonzo took Will, Danny and Michelle left with Hope, Cassie wasn't the same."
    "I didn't notice."
    "Josh, you remember all the crazy things she did to keep Jonathan and Tammy apart. Then after we broke up she changed again. She was less tough, more senstive. Then after Tammy died she fell apart but I wasn't around her then."
    "I didn't know."
    Josh looks over his relationship with Cassie. He notices the change in her personality.

    Spaulding Mansion: Alan is in his office by his desk. Natalia walks over, "Hey how are you?"
    "Natalia. What are you doing here?"
    "I'm keeping you company."
    "You mean you're keeping an eye on me."
    "No. Gus tried to get me to go. I didn't know Cassie so I didn't think I should go. He should comfort Harley."
    "So you decided to stay with me instead of Gus? Interesting."
    "Well we are going to plan the Christmas party."
    "Natalia I don't do that. We hire people to do that."
    "Well Rafe is coming and I want this place to have more personal touch."
    "What did you have in mind?"
    Natalia brings in a box full of decorations.

    The Church: Billy is sitting with Reva. She is very upset, "Oh Billy! I promised Mama that I would protect her!"
    "Reva darling this isn't you're fault. Cassie loved you. You were a great sister and I won't let you say anything different." Billy hugs Reva.
    Josh is trying to talk to RJ, "You know you're Mom loved you."
    RJ just sits there.
    Josh tries again, "RJ, I know how hard this is but we need to get through it as a family."
    "Just leave me alone!"
    Remy walks over, "Josh, I'm taking Blake home. I'll take RJ too."
    "Thanks Remy."
    They walk out.
    Everyone has arrived and takes their seats, Reverand Ruthledge speaks, "Cassie Winslow was a great woman. A woman that left her mark on this town....."
    He later invites people up to speak:
    Reva goes first, "Cassie wasn't just my sister, she was the best friend I ever had. I know that she is...." Reva breaks down. Marah walks up, "I think what Mom was trying to say was that Cassie is at peace now with Grandma Sarah, Hart, Richard, and Tammy. And she is always going to be looking after RJ and everyone in Springfield. Because she loved all of us." Marah walks her mother down.
    Josh goes on to talk about his relationship with Cassie.
    Harley tells stories about her Blake and Cassie.
    Jeffrey speaks about Cassie.
    Olivia goes up, she thanks Cassie for helping her protect Emma all of those years ago.
    Beth steps up, "Cassie was a great woman. She did care about children as Olivia said. She was great to me. I wish she could have met the baby that she did everything to protect..." Beth is having a hard time. She keeps remembering what Cassie did, "Uh.. I'll miss her very much." Beth steps down.

    The Beacon: Mallet took Dinah home early. They are packing their stuff to move it to the house. He is in the shower. There is a knock at the door. Dinah answers it. Julie is standing there,"Oh hey Julie."
    "Hello Dinah. Were you at a funeral?"
    "Yes for Cassie Winslow."
    "Oh. Really? Hmm. So where's Tony?"
    "Tony?"
    "Oh sorry. Mallet."
    "Oh he's in the shower. So I don't think we've really met before."
    "No but I've heard some things."
    "Like what?"
    "Well I know you killed Hart. A man I loved."
    "Oh well I've changed since then."
    "I'm sure. Well tell Tony I'll be back later."
    Julie leaves. Dinah already doesn't like her.

    The Church: Josh, Billy, Jeffrey, Rick, Bill, and Gus carry the casket out. The rest of the room follows. Reva looks back at the room. She remembers the moment when Cassie and her first realized they were sisters.
    "Good bye Sis. I'll never let anyone forget you. I love you Cassie." She walks out.

    Cabin:



    Olivia walks Gus inside.
    Gus looks around, "Why are we here?"
    Olivia sighs, "I am going to be keeping you here for a couple of days."
    Gus shakes his head, "No. This is where Harley took me to detox. You are not Harley."
    She nods, "Well thank God for that. Now we aren't leaving."
    She locks the door.
    He looks at it, "You are nuts."
    She shakes her head, "I want to help you Gus. I'm trying to help you but you have to let me."
    He backs up, "You are sick. You are a twisted and controlling bitch! You know that? Kidnapping me?"
    She sighs, "Gus I'm not kidnapping you!"
    He shouts, "It's not first time! Remember back when I when I was investigating you for Phillip's 'murder'? You had me locked up then too. Now you're doing the same damn thing."
    Olivia shakes her head, "No I'm not. Now I will hold onto this key and I won't let you out until we have finished."
    Gus runs and grabs the key from her.
    He puts it in the door and twist.
    Olivia grabs him, "Gus no stop it!"
    She won't let him open the door.
    He turns around and struggles with her.
    Suddenly Cyrus and Susan walk in.
    Cyrus grabs Gus, "That's enough!"




    Towers:



    Dinah walks inside.
    Annie Dutton is sitting at a table, "Dinah over hear!"
    Dinah walks over, "I got your message Annie. What's the emergency?"
    Annie sighs, "It took you a long time coming here."
    Dinah sighs, "Well honestly I wasn't sure if I was going to. Annie what's really going on?"
    Annie looks at her, "I have a proposition for you. I would like you to help me out with something?"
    Dinah shakes her head, "I don't know if you've heard but I've changed. I married now. I have two children. I'm a reporter for WSPR. I'm not doing the whole bad girl thing anymore."
    Annie nods, "Well I don't know if you've heard. But I'm the new CEO of Spaulding Enterprises."
    Dinah nods, "It's big talk down at the station."
    Annie smiles, "I'd be happy to let you get the first interview with me."
    Dinah sits, "What do you want in exchange?"
    Annie smiles, "Your partnership Dinah. I think we could help each other out a lot."
    Dinah shakes her head, "Well I was CEO once upon a time. But I'm not really doing that kind of business anymore."
    Annie shakes her head, "This isn't Spaulding business exactly. I'm taking over Springfield. I want to right all my wrongs and I have to do that myself. And I"m starting by controlling one of the biggest companies in the world."
    Dinah sighs, "Now how the hell can I help you."
    Annie sits back, "Well I know you've changed. But some things never change. I have a feeling you are still the Master Manipulator of Springfield."
    Dinah is surprised by Annie's suggestions.



    Spaulding Mansion:



    Liz is walking around.
    She's been thinking about moving back in after everything that's going on with Jonathan and Aubrey.
    Suddenly Rafe walks over to her, "Hey Cousin."
    She smiles, "Rafe. How are you?"
    Rafe sighs, "I was wondering if you had given much thought to what we discussed earlier?"
    She looks at him, "I'm kind of confused. You said something about taking control of the family?"
    He nods, "Yes. I am very disappointed in how things have been going. Your father and Alan Michael are feuding. Cassie has left a huge void in the family. Granddad is all caught up in my mother. Now that bitch Annie is controlling everything. We can't let that happen."
    Liz nods, "What do you suggest we do?"
    He grins, "We go after the company."
    She shakes her head, "It's a nice idea Rafe but you are no where near old enough to even consider that."
    He nods, "I know I'm not. But you are at a perfect age. You are young but not to young. You have a family. And to top it all off, you are the true heiress to the family."
    She is confused, "What are you saying?"
    He grins, "You need to run for CEO of Spaulding Enterprises."
    Liz is very shocked.



    Side of Road:


    Vi is in front of her car.
    She is messing with everything under the hood.
    She sees a car coming.
    It's the one she's been waiting for.

    Coop is driving home after working at school all night.
    He notices one of his students standing by her car on the road.
    He stops, "Vi? Is everything okay?"
    She pushes out some tears, "My car is messed up and I don't know what to do. I've been here all day. No one stopped for me! And I have been scared out of my mind."
    He gets out, "Hey it's okay. I know a thing or two about cars so maybe I could give it a look."
    She gasp, "Oh would you? Please. Oh Coop that would be just amazing!"
    He nods, "Just remember you need to get into the habit of calling me Mr. Bradshaw now that I'm your teacher."
    She nods, "Of course."
    He looks under the hood, "This is a nice car."
    She smiles, "Thanks. I got it for my 18th birthday. When I turned 18 and became an adult."
    He nods, "Oh that's cool. That's always an exciting time."
    She grins, "It's a very exciting and life changing time."
    He turns to her, "Could anyone have messed with your car?"
    She is confused, "What do you mean?"
    He looks down, "Well it looks like someone just went in and started clawing at everything. Whoever did it didn't know what they were doing I guess."
    Vi looks over, "Is my car alright?"
    Coop looks in it, "I guess we'll see."
    Vi sighs, "Well if it's not working I just hope I can get a ride home from someone."
    Vi can't keep her eyes off of Coop as he leans over her car.



    Club:



    Michelle and Bill are walking around.
    Michelle grins, "I can't believe how great this place has turned out. We're going to be able to open it soon!"
    Bill nods, "Yep. We worked really hard and it actually paid off you know. I think we did a good job."
    Michelle grins, "This never seemed like it was going to get done and now it's actually here."
    He nods, "This place is going to be so great. I think everyone in Springfield is going to want to come here."
    She turns to him, "What do you think about Danny and Ava, you know what they would think of all of this?"
    Bill looks around, "Well I mean the original design Ava had was a little more out there and the design really wouldn't have worked out so we had no choice but to make changes. And Danny's original construction plan had a few missing details and mistakes but I think overall it's along the lines with what he had in mind. So I think they might be happy with the outcome."
    Michelle looks down.
    Bill turns to her, "Oh I see."
    She looks up, "See what?"
    Bill sighs, "We weren't talking about how they would feel about the club really were we? You wanted to know how Danny and Ava would feel about you and I growing closer as we built this place?"
    Michelle stares into Bill's eyes.



    Law Office:



    Jeffrey has been working late.
    Marah was worried about him so she has come to check up on her boyfriend and make sure everything is okay.
    Marah knocks on the door.
    No one answers.
    Marah lets herself in.
    Jeffrey is sitting at his desk.
    Marah walks over, "Hey Jeffrey. Is everything okay? You've been here for a long time."
    He sighs, "Oh God. I'm so sorry. I don't know where my head has been. I just got really caught up. You must have been worried sick. I am just so sorry Marah. I'll make it up to you."
    She walks over and looks at his papers, "Is this Cassie's stuff? It has her name on it?"
    He nods, "Actually yes. I was just reading her information on what to do with everything and how to handle these situations."
    Marah looks at him, "What situations?"
    Jeffrey looks up, "In which she is in a coma and hooked up to machines. You know."
    Marah sighs, "Oh God. I can't believe she even thought about that."
    Jeffrey nods, "Well after Richard died I guess she really put thought into it."
    Marah looks at him, "And?"
    He looks up at Marah, "After a few months she request that the plug be pulled."
    Marah stares in shock.

    PART TWO:

    Side of Road:
    Coop keeps trying to work on Vi's car.
    He looks up, "Okay try it now."
    Vi turn the key but the car doesn't start, "Sorry."
    He sighs, "Okay well I can give you a lift home. And you can talk to your Dad about getting your car."
    She grins, "Really? Oh that would be great Mr. Bradshaw."
    He nods, "Not a problem."
    The two get into the car.
    Vi sits in her seat, "Oh I can't seem to get this seat to buckle."
    Coop leans over and helps her, "You got to pull a little harder."
    She smirks, "I will keep that in mind."
    Coop starts driving, "Your house is on my way to the Beacon."
    She turns to him, "The Beacon? Are you staying there?"
    He nods, "Yes. I am. I moved out of Company."
    She sighs, "Well it's silly to stay at a hotel. You know we have room at our house if you..."
    He laughs, "Yeah I'm sure that would be a good idea."
    Vi giggles, "Oh yeah. I was just joking. Are you moving out because of Ashlee Wolfe?"
    He sighs, "I can't talk about that with you Ms. Grant."
    She laughs, "You're silly. I know that you two broke up."
    Coop turns to her, "You seem to know a lot."
    Vi sighs, "Well keep in mind your sister is dating my father."
    Coop nods, "That's true."
    Vi smiles, "Sorry but I think a handsome man like you shouldn't have to be single."
    Coop continues to laugh at all of Vi's 'jokes' as he drives her home.

    Club:
    Michelle walks away from Bill, "I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to make things awkward for you."
    Bill follows her, "Michelle it's really not. Listen, I think it's something that we should address. We are sort of dating now."
    She laughs, "I don't know. It still feels weird calling it dating. We aren't acting any differently then we did before, just we kiss now."
    He laughs, "So far all we've done is kiss."
    She shoves him, "You Bill Lewis are a goofball. And you are sweet and funny. You are my best friend."
    Bill holds her hand, "But I'm no Danny. That's why it's different for each of us. With Ava I feel guilt. It's not like she was the love of my life. But she was my wife and the mother of my child. I slept with her mother behind her back. But Danny is the love of your life. And he always will be."
    Michelle nods, "Danny is my true love. But the fact is that he is gone. It took me a while. But thanks to you I can move on and be a good mother to both of my children."
    He shakes his head, "You never needed me to be a good mother to your children Michelle."
    Michelle hugs Bill, "You have no idea how much I've needed you these past few months."
    Bill nods, "I have a pretty good idea."
    The two kiss.

    Old Cabin:
    Cyrus throws Gus on the couch, "Will you get a hold of yourself."
    Susan looks at Olivia, "Why are you here? Cyrus why is she here?"
    Olivia sighs, "It's nice to see you too Susan."
    Cyrus looks at Gus.
    He is very tired.
    Cyrus helps him up, "I'm going to take him to the bedroom."
    Cyrus walks Gus into the other room and lays him on the bed.
    He walks back into the other room.
    Olivia sighs, "I should probably lock that door too."
    Susan pulls out a video camera, "Cyrus why do we need this?"
    Cyrus sighs, "Well I think it might be a good idea if we set these up around the cabin. That way you and Gus can remember how you act tonight."
    Susan laughs, "Oh that will be swell."
    Cyrus turns to Olivia, "Okay. I need you to keep an eye on them. I got a text message. Harley needs me."
    Olivia shakes her head, "I don't think so that wasn't a part of your plan."
    He sighs, "Listen. Harley is very upset right now. I'll be quick."
    Cyrus rushes out before Olivia can stop him.
    Susan laughs, "Where did the Aussie go?"
    Olivia turns to her, "It doesn't matter. He'll be back."
    Susan sighs, "So Gus is popping pills again?"
    Olivia nods, "Unfortunately but I'm going to help him."
    Susan sits back, "Well I hope your ready. This is going to be a long night!"
    Olivia can't believe what she has gotten herself into.

    Law Office:
    Marah sits in the chair on the other side of Jeffrey's desk.
    She is stunned, "So. If she doesn't wake up in the next couple of months... then we have to tell my family that it's time to let her go?"
    Jeffrey nods, "Unless she shows a sign of progress... yes."
    Marah shakes her head, "Oh God! I mean... I know that in her last year she wasn't herself but, it's still my Aunt Cassie."
    He nods, "I know. She was one of my first loves."
    Marah sighs, "I can't believe what this will do to my family. They still haven't gotten over losing Tammy."
    Jeffrey nods, "RJ will lose the only person in the world that hasn't died on him."
    She has tears in her eyes, "Oh God RJ! Oh no. RJ. He hasn't even started high school yet. He lost his father before he was born, he lost his other father when he was young. He lost his sister two years ago. Now his mother? This isn't fair."
    He sighs, "The poor kid deserves better."
    Marah looks at him, "Wait. He's still a kid. So what's going to happen to him. We can't let him go into foster care. Cassie would hate that."
    Jeffrey looks through the papers, "I haven't gotten there yet. Who is his legal guardian now."
    Marah nods, "It's probably my father. Oh God please don't be Edmund."
    Jeffrey stares at the papers, "It's not Edmund. Or Josh."
    Marah is confused, "Then who is it?"
    Jeffrey looks up at her, "It's me."
    Marah looks down to see Jeffrey's name.

    Spaulding Mansion:
    Liz turns to her cousin, "Rafe. I don't understand. You want me to run for CEO of Spaulding Enterprises."
    Rafe nods, "I know. It's a brilliant plan. You don't need to thank me. But you can."
    She shakes her head, "My father is running for CEO."
    Rafe nods, "I'm aware. But your father has had a lot of stress in his life. Do you remember what happened last time he had too much stress in his life."
    She turns to him, "You weren't here."
    He nods, "But I've heard a lot about it. Your father seems to be in good shape now. Do you really want to let the company ruin that."
    Liz sighs, "But listen to yourself. The company drives people crazy. Look at my Father, Granddad, Cassie. They all went nuts with this company. I would fall to the same fate."
    He shakes his head, "No. No you won't. Your young and healthy. Liz I believe in you. Why can't you believe in yourself."
    Liz turns away, "I don't know."
    He sighs, "I didn't want to put it like this. But let's say Alan Michael wins. Then he will be CEO. Him and Mel and Leah. They will be the front family. You and your parents, and siblings will all be pushed aside. Alan Michael has always been jealous of your father."
    Liz nods, "Your right about that."
    He walks her over to a mirror, "Look at you. You are Elizabeth Spaulding. All this will do is help insure that your family has the best shot at winning. This is your legacy Liz. It's Sarah's legacy. One day Spaulding Enterprises will be hers."
    Liz nods, "Sarah."
    The two cousins contemplate the decision.

    Towers:
    Dinah looks at Annie, "So you want me to manipulate people for you? Is that really why you asked me here?"
    Annie shakes her head, "No. I asked you here because I want you to ride with me to the top."
    Dinah looks at her, "Sweetie I am at the top. I have all the of my dreams come true. I have a family, a home. A great job. I've turned my life around. Why should I risk it all for you?"
    Annie corrects her, "You aren't risking anything. Dinah. All you are doing is getting in a huge deal."
    Dinah sits up, "Okay. This is where I'm confused. What exactly do you need from me. Spill."
    Annie sighs, "You still have stock in Spaulding Enterprises. Correct?"
    Dinah nods, "Oh so you want my endorsement and my vote?"
    Annie grins, "Precisely. I'm honest. I need you to vote for me and convince others to vote for me."
    Dinah sighs, "What do I get out of this deal Annie?"
    Annie smiles, "Anything you want. With friend in great power, the possibilities are endless. Dinah you have two children. Wouldn't you like to know that you can do everything in the world to keep them safe?"
    Dinah sits closer, "You got yourself a deal Annie."
    Annie nods, "You won't be sorry."
    Dinah grabs her phone, "Now stick with me and I'll help you keep that chair at Spaulding. But there is one other person we need."
    Dinah gets ready to enlist another partner.
