    Episode 187

    By JAYJAY,

    Everyone has a plan in Springfield...



    Harley's House:


    Phillip and Harley walk into her house.
    Harley hollers up the stairs, "Zach! Could you come down here for a minute please?"
    Zach comes down.
    Phillip smiles at him, "Hi."
    Zach nods, "Hey Dad. What's going on?"
    Harley sighs, "Well I told your father about Lincoln Prep and how you really wanted to go."
    Phillip looks at him, "You really do?"
    Zach nods, "I have some friends who are going there. And I mean when I was a little kid I used to always plan on going there like you did. It just makes sense."
    Harley sighs, "Well you have to keep in touch every single day and come home every chance you get."
    Zach grins, "So is that a yes?"
    Phillip turns to Harley, "As long as you promise to remember to keep in touch with your Mom."
    Harley shakes her head, "No, not just me. Your Dad too and of course Gus as well."
    Zach smiles, "I will."
    Zach hugs his parents.
    Harley and Phillip are finally glad the three of them can share a happy moment.



    Woods:


    Guillespie is with Lorelei.
    She looks into his eyes, "My name is Lorelei Hills."
    He laughs, "Come on you're pulling my leg."
    She shakes her head, "Nope. Sorry to break it to ya buddy but I'm not. Lorelei is my name."
    He shakes his head, "I remember you. You're Beth Spaulding."
    She sighs, "I'm not Beth."
    He laughs, "No you just look like her right?"
    Lorelei sighs, "Okay I guess one might argue that I am Beth. Beth suffers from multiple personalities."
    G laughs at her, "Oh you have got to be kidding me! So you're telling me that I'm talking to some fictional character in Beth's head?"
    She smiles, "Well I don't feel like no fictional character. Beth can't handle her stress. And when that happens she shuts down and that's when I get to take over."
    He looks at her, "So what happens when Beth is ready to come back?"
    Lorelei smiles, "She ain't comin' back. I'm not going anywhere."
    He is confused, "If that's true then why are you pretending to be Beth?"
    She sighs, "Because I have made a lot of enemies as Lorelei. This is just a way for me to go through Springfield."
    Guillespie nods, "How long are you planning to keep up this charade?"
    She grins, "Until I have everything I want."
    He is very interested in her.



    Teasers:


    Susan stares at the stage.
    Marina is dancing for everyone.
    Trey laughs, "Yeah, she came to me and was asking what she had to do to get a hook up on some stuff. I told her instead of letting her degrade herself I'd get her a job."
    Susan scoffs, "Oh yeah she is really respecting herself like this. This is sick."
    He smiles, "You want a job blondie?"
    She looks at him, "Get you're loser ass away from me."
    Trey laughs as he walks away.
    Once Marina is finished she walks backstage.
    Susan sneaks back there.
    Marina is changing.
    Susan walks up to her, "What are you doing?"
    Marina is shocked to see her, "How did you find me?"
    She sighs, "It doesn't matter. Marina what the hell is this? You were taking your clothes off for money."
    Marina shakes her head, "You have no idea what you're talking about Susan. It's not like that."
    Susan nods, "So what's it like then."
    Marina sighs, "I needed money. I'm not ever going to be a cop again. This is easy."
    Susan grabs Marina's arm, "You're done."
    Susan is dragging Marina out.



    Park:


    Liz is going on a walk.
    Remy approaches her, "Hey."
    She looks at him, "What's up?"
    He sighs, "Not much. I heard you lost."
    She nods, "Yep. I didn't even make it to the final ballot. They looked at me like I was a joke."
    He sighs, "I'd tell you I'm sorry but then I'd be lying."
    She walks past him, "Yeah."
    He turns to her, "I'd be lying because I think it was for the best. Being CEO would only make things worse for you."
    She laughs, "You aren't as smart as you think you are Remy."
    Remy nods, "So what are you going to do now?"
    She shakes her head, "I have no idea. I'm trying to adjust to normal life again. I'm not CEO, and probably won't be for another 20 years or so. Which is probably when I'll get to see my daughter again. I have no idea where she is or what she's doing."
    Remy sighs, "That's got to be rough."
    She nods, "You see if I were CEO I would have the power of everyone. Then I could have a better shot at bringing Sarah home, and bringing her home to a safe town."
    Remy sighs, "Sometimes I wonder if this town will ever be a real safe and happy place again."
    Liz nods, "It is. For some people."
    He looks at her, "But not for us?"
    The two stare at each other.



    Beacon:


    Olivia gets into the elevator.
    Just before the doors shut Alan jumps in.
    He grins, "Well hello Olivia."
    She sighs, "Hey Alan. How's your job as CEO going? Oops! That's right Annie is the CEO."
    Alan nods, "You must be pretty happy."
    She nods, "Oh I am. Finally a CEO who can handle the job."
    Alan shake his head, "Only a Spaulding can handle the job. One day Emma will be voting."
    Olivia shakes her head, "No. Emma will not be accepting any stock from Phillip."
    Alan laughs, "You can't force her at that age. By then she'll probably drop the Lewis at the end of her name too."
    She sighs, "Emma is Bill's daughter now. She has been most of her life and nothing you can do will change that."
    The elevator stops.
    Olivia gets off.
    Alan follows.
    Olivia turns to him, "Why are you up here?"
    He grins, "You may own half of the hotel Olivia but my wife owns the other half. I can go where I please."
    She shakes her head, "Last time I checked you had no clue where Natalia was. And I'm guess it's staying that way."
    Alan grabs Olivia by the arm, "I knew it."
    She pulls away, "You knew what?"
    He grins, "You manipulated Natalia just like you manipulated Mel. This whole thing has been some game for you, Dinah and Annie. Mel and Natalia are nothing more than your pawns."
    Olivia steps away from Alan.



    Cemetery:


    Michelle starts to walk away.
    Jesse follows her, "Come on where are you going?"
    She sighs, "What are you going to follow me there too?"
    He scoffs, "Would you stop it! I'm not following you."
    She turns around, "You're doing it right now!"
    He looks at her, "What is upsetting you so much?"
    She wipes her tears, "I came here to have a special moment at my mother's grave. And you take that opportunity to chase after me and try to break up my relationship with Bill."
    Jesse shakes his head, "You are paranoid. Not once, not once have I tried to break up what you have with Bill."
    She scoffs, "You follow me! You always show up where I am. At the barbecue, at my house, on the side of the road, now the cemetery?"
    He stares at her, "How could I have possibly known that stuff? Maybe you should think about whether or not this is all some sign. Did you stop to think about that?"
    She shakes her head, "No. Bill is who I was meant to be with after Danny! We had our fate. Ava's coma and Danny's death literally brought us together! The club they were working on brought us together."
    Jesse sighs, "Then if that's true then what are you so worried about with me Michelle?"
    She cries, "Because you're everywhere! I feel you everywhere I go. No matter where I go I see you whether you are there or not. It's not right and it's not fair Jesse."
    Jesse just stares at a crying Michelle.

    PART TWO:

    Harley's House:
    Phillip and Zach are alone in the living room.
    Zach sighs, "I can't wait to tell everyone I get to go."
    Phillip smiles, "I'm glad we could make you so happy son."
    Zach looks at him, "I'm sorry that it took me so long to give you a chance again."
    He shakes his head, "No. You have nothing to be sorry about. You had every right to feel the way you felt. I did horrible things when I was sick. I tried to use you guys and one of the worst things was hurting your mother and her family."
    Zach nods, "Yeah."
    Phillip looks at Zach, "I want you to know that it wasn't like that always. Your Mom and I were very close once. That's why we had you. We were very much in love and we had such a nice life. It just didn't exactly work out in the end."
    Zach looks at him, "Why are you telling me this?"
    He sighs, "I don't know. I guess I want you to understand that your Mom and I don't hate each other. I want to make it clear that I love you, Lizzie, James, Emma, and Penelope all the same."
    Zach sighs, "I guess.... I felt left out sometimes. Lizzie, James, and Penelope are your kids with Beth."
    Phillip nods, "I know. But I love you and Emma with all my heart, just as much as I love your siblings."
    Zach nods, "I hope Emma knows that."
    Phillip sighs, "I hope so too."
    Phillip hugs his son.

    Beacon:
    Olivia is with Alan in the hallway.
    She sighs, "You have no idea what you're talking about."
    Alan laughs, "Oh come on. Did you have a problem seeing me with another woman Olivia?"
    She scoffs, "Believe it or not Alan I'm over you. Our whole marriage was a huge joke."
    Alan shakes his head, "Sounds like all of your relationships."
    Olivia stares at him, "You don't know anything about my relationships."
    He nods, "You got together with my son to get back at me."
    She laughs, "Believe it or not Alan, I actually loved Phillip. But you, Lizzie, and all the other Spauldings couldn't let us be happy. And it made Phillip into a monster."
    Alan laughs, "So you married Bill Lewis. But that was just so you wouldn't get deported right?"
    She looks at him, "What's it to you?"
    Alan sighs, "Well I got married this year, Phillip got married a few months ago, now Bill is about to marry Michelle Bauer. Something tells me you've been craving a drink."
    She shakes her head, "I'm stronger than that. I have a daughter to protect from people like you."
    Alan nods, "While your oldest basket-case daughter is in the nuthouse."
    Olivia grabs Alan, "You shut your mouth! You shut up about my daughter!"
    Alan looks into her eyes, "You call me a bad parent Olivia. Why don't you take a hard look in the mirror."
    Alan walks away.
    A very upset Olivia goes into her room.

    Park:
    Liz and Remy sit on the bench.
    Remy looks at her, "So, got any plans for your next big adventure?"
    She shakes her head, "Nope. I'm tired of adventures. I guess I'll just continue working at Spaulding, taking care of my dog Roxy, and... that's about it for me."
    Remy nods, "Same here. Except I work for the SPD and I don't have a dog."
    She nods, "You should get one. They're great to talk to."
    He stares at her, "You talk to your dog?"
    She sighs, "Don't judge me."
    He laughs, "I just figured you'd be looking for some new guy to get together with."
    She shakes her head, "No. That never has worked out. Coop, Jonathan, Colin, none of them were right for me. And they were all so different from each other. I really don't want another relationship."
    Remy nods, "I know what you mean. Tammy, Natalia, Blake they all had other loves they weren't over."
    Liz looks at him, "Didn't you date that Stephanie?"
    He nods, "Only a rebound for Blake."
    Liz sighs, "So does that mean you're going to get back with her?"
    He shakes his head, "I don't know. A part of me thinks that I should get to have that one true love and Blake had that with Ross already."
    Liz shakes her head, "I don't know Remy. Sometimes I think that there are people who will just never find that one person that they were meant to be with."
    Liz and Remy sit on the bench and wonder what their futures hold.

    Teasers:
    Susan takes Marina outside.
    Marina pulls away, "Stop it!"
    Susan looks at her "We are leaving?"
    Marina shakes her head, "All of my stuff is still inside!"
    Susan nods, "Well we'll have your pimp Trey send it home to us okay? Just come on."
    Marina shakes her head, "Stop it! Stop treating me like I'm some moron who can't control herself."
    Susan looks at her, "I think you are the idiot who is trying out some desperate cry for help."
    Marina scoffs, "I didn't even tell you what I was doing! This is my job now."
    Susan shakes her head, "You don't expect me to believe this is your career now?"
    Marina shouts, "I don't have a career anymore! This is just what helps me pay the bills."
    Susan nods, "Oh now dealers have bills?"
    Marina just lights a cigarette and doesn't say anything.
    Susan sighs, "It's sick isn't it? Knowing the things you would do for it."
    Marina shakes her head, "You think this is what I wanted? I was supposed to marry Danny! We should have raised our child! I don't even know what my child looked like or what he sounded like. All I know is that I let him burn to death!"
    Susan has tears in her eyes, "I'm so sorry. But Marina there is nothing we can do to bring him back. We can't bring back Danny and we can't bring back your baby. All you can do is try to..."
    Marina shouts, "What? Make them proud. Do you think you're dead adoptive parents are proud of what you've become?"
    Now Susan is crying.
    Marina runs away from Susan.
    Susan is beginning to see so much of herself in Marina.

    Woods:
    Lorelei and Guillespie stand by each other.
    Guillespie looks at her, "So how much is my silence gonna get me?"
    She sighs, "I'll give you a nice little cut once I get my share. Then I'll be out of this town."
    He shakes his head, "No sweetheart. I want half."
    She turns to him, "Half? Are you outta you're damn mind boy?"
    He laughs, "Come on. It's not like I'm going to just sit and look pretty. I work for my money."
    She smiles, "What did you have in mind?"
    He looks into her eyes, "Whatever you need. I have no other reason to be in Springfield. My brother is ashamed of me, my girlfriend has moved on. I think this will give me something to do."
    She sighs, "What can you do? I mean the Spaulding hate you because you're a constant reminder of what they did to Tammy. There is no way they will let you anywhere near them."
    He nods, "Truth. But I'm good at one thing. I can do the dirty work. It's my specialty."
    Lorelei turns and thinks.
    He puts his arms around her, "You can't have Beth Spaulding getting her hands dirty. But me, no one even knows I'm in Springfield. Besides, a partner can make things twice as fun."
    Lorelei turns to him, "Okay partner. You got yourself a deal."
    The two shake hands.

    Cemetery:
    Michelle has to sit down on the ground.
    Jesse looks at her, "Do you really mean everything that you just said to me Michelle?"
    She looks up, "Why would I lie?"
    He sits next to her, "I wish you didn't feel that way."
    She is confused, "What?"
    He looks at her, "You can't let your feelings get in the way of what you have with Bill."
    She shakes her head, "What are you talking about?"
    He sighs, "You have to forget about all of this Michelle. You are happy with Bill."
    She shakes her head, "So you don't want me?"
    He looks at her, "Michelle, look at you. This is what me being around you does to you. I'm not going to let you get hurt by me."
    She wipes her tears, "Just stop it Jesse! I am sick and tired of mind games and crap."
    Jesse shakes his head, "It's not a mind game. If you look me in the eyes and tell me you want to marry Bill then I'll leave."
    Michelle stares at him, "What?"
    He nods, "You heard me."
    Michelle looks down.
    Jesse stares at her.
    She looks up at him, "I am marrying Bill."
    Jesse gets up.
    He walks over to his car.
    Michelle watches him as he leaves.
    Michelle looks over and sees Danny's grave.
    A very confused Michelle continues crying.

    Episode 188

    By JAYJAY,

    People want to help each other in Springfield...




    Company:



    Olivia is eating with Emma.
    Buzz walks over, "How are two of my favorite ladies?"
    Olivia hugs him, "Hey! How are you?"
    He grins, "I'm good. How are you two?"
    Emma smiles, "We're good."
    Olivia looks away.
    Buzz turns to Emma, "Hey Em, why don't you go back and ask Lynn to help you make a special sundae."
    Emma grins, "Okay cool."
    Emma goes back to the kitchen.
    Buzz sits down, "Something you need to talk about?"
    She shakes her head, "Phillip's restraining order is about to be lifted. I can't let that happen."
    Buzz sighs, "He's Emma's father."
    She turns to him, "You were more of a father to her then he ever was. Bill is her father now."
    Buzz nods, "And I understand that. But Harley thinks Phillip is back to normal now."
    Olivia shakes her head, "No. Maybe for now. But it won't last. I won't let him take her away from me again."
    Buzz stares at her, "Olivia, Phillip is going to have to kill me before he can take your daughter from you."
    Olivia puts her hand on his face, "I actually believe you when you say that."
    He nods, "You should because I mean it."
    She sighs, "How did I ever let you get away?"
    He shakes his head, "I have no idea."
    The two laugh.



    Spaulding Mansion:


    Annie is in the office.
    Alan walks in, "Hello Annie."
    She smiles, "Oh Alan. Did you come to apply to be my personal assistant?"
    He laughs, "Very funny. You haven't lost your sense of humor."
    She sighs, "Well I've lost my patience so get to why you are here."
    He looks at her, "You may have on the battle Annie. But the war is far from over."
    She laughs, "Do you really think you have a shot at CEO?"
    He shakes his head, "I was referring to Phillip. He's going to challenge you again this fall. And by then he'll probably have everyone on his side. You'll be thrown out of here faster than a used napkin."
    She nods, "So you came here to gloat?"
    He shakes his head, "No. I came here to offer you a chance."
    Annie is confused, "A chance?"
    He nods, "We were great partners once. We can be again."
    She sighs, "Hmm, why should I trust you?"
    He grins, "What's your alternative? To sit in your chair and wait while Phillip gets a plan to take it."
    She looks at him, "Why me? Why aren't you helping Phillip?"
    Alan sighs, "Phillip is very different from me. He has different plans. But you and I are much a like. I think we want the same things. We always have."
    She stares, "What do I need you for? I have gotten this far all on my own."
    He looks at her, "Oh really? Last time I checked you had partners in crime."
    Annie nods, "Dinah and Olivia are indeed great allies."
    Alan looks at her, "But how long can they be good allies? They aren't like us. Sooner or later they will get over it. Dinah Marler will throw herself into some crazy scheme and Olivia will throw herself into another man."
    Annie begins to think about what Alan is saying.



    Gym:


    Remy is working out.
    Blake walks in.
    She spots Remy and approaches him, "Wow, you make it all look so easy. I can barely lift my gym bag."
    He looks at her, "What do you want Blake?"
    She sighs, "The same body I had when I was 20. That's why I'm here."
    He is confused, "I'm here all the time I never see you here."
    She nods, "Oh really? Well I just recently decided to get back into shape. New episodes of 'Light Talk' start soon."
    Remy really wants to leave.
    But a part of him wants to keep talking.
    He sighs, "So how are the kids?"
    She smiles, "Oh just great. Clarissa is starting Springfield High. Kevin is getting a job at WSPR. And Jason is considering law school."
    Remy nods, "Following in Ross's footsteps."
    Blake sighs, "So how have you been?"
    He nods, "Fine. Enjoying my single lifestyle."
    Blake is confused, "What about Lizzie?"
    He turns to her, "What about her?"
    Blake sighs, "I just thought you two... you seemed to be so cozy at the Bauer Barbecue last month. I figured you two were hooking up."
    He shakes his head, "No. I'm not stupid enough to get mixed up with a Spaulding."
    Blake begins to question her situation with Alan.



    Cedars:


    Alan Michael and Mel are waiting for another appointment.
    Alan Michael has been talking to psychologist and other doctors for weeks.
    Mel turns to him, "Do you want me to get you some coffee?"
    He shakes his head, "No."
    She looks at him, "I'm hungry, maybe after this we can stop by company and get a burger."
    Alan Michael nods, "Sure."
    Mel sighs, "You know Leah wanted us all to go to the movies. Anything you want to see?"
    He shrugs.
    Mel gets upset, "Okay I get it. You are mad at me. But I am still your wife. I made a mistake and I know that. But we can't just give up on our marriage because of one mistake."
    He just stares away from her.
    Mel shoves him, "Alan Michael talk to me!"
    He turns to her, "I don't know if I'll ever be able to trust you ever again Mel."
    Mel has tears in her eyes.
    The doctors comes out, "You ready Mr. Spaulding?"
    Alan Michael gets up and walks in.
    Mel cries after he leaves.



    Ravenwood:


    Ava sits in her room.
    The nurse opens the door, "You have a visitor."
    Shayne walks in, "Hey best friend."
    She scoffs, "Did you forget something last time?"
    He shakes his head, "No. Why?"
    She looks at him, "Why else would you be here?"
    He smiles, "Because I like spending time with you."
    She get sarcastic, "Awe? Really! Wow it's so great! We can be best friends! You can play with me, tell me how cool I am, teach me lessons, then you can go home to your real life and I'll still be here."
    He sighs, "Is nothing good enough for you?"
    She turns to him, "You don't get it do you? I'm not some charity case. I don't want your damn pity. I don't want to be the dumb girl that you are nice to so that you can feel better about yourself."
    Shayne shakes his head, "You are so defensive."
    She turns away from him, "Just go away."
    He looks at her, "I know how you feel. When I was younger I was in a car accident. I was paralyzed from the waist down. I wanted to give up and be left alone. But Marina helped me and I eventually learned to walk again."
    Ava rolls her eyes, "Wow I hope they made a movie of the week about you."
    He sighs, "After that I joined the peace corps. As a part of my giving back. If you have then give. That's how I feel."
    She turns to him, "And now I'm part of your giving. No thank you."
    Shayne gets up and walks over to her, "You never know. Maybe I got a crush on you."
    Ava shoots him a disgusted look.



    Bauer Home:


    Bill and Michelle are in the kitchen.
    He walks over to her, "All the plans are coming together. The church is ready for our date."
    She grins, "I can't believe in two weeks you and I are going to be husband and wife."
    He nods, "Isn't it amazing? I mean we've come so far from the crazy year we had. 2009 has been pretty good for us."
    She sighs, "Well with a few exceptions."
    He nods, "Yeah well a crazy ex complicates things."
    She sighs, "Well I wouldn't say crazy. Just... I mean you can't blame someone for still having feelings."
    Bill shakes his head, "I would definitely say crazy. I mean I don't hate Ava but she is insane."
    Michelle is confused, "Ava?"
    He nods, "Yeah Ava the 'crazy ex'. Who did you think I was talking about?"
    She shakes her head, "Never mind."
    He can tell something is bothering her, "Is everything okay?"
    She nods, "It will be. Once you and I are husband and wife. We will get everything we deserve."
    He nods, "I think so too. I'm marrying the woman who's been my best friend my whole life. What more could I want?"
    She shakes her head, "I can't think of anything."
    Bill kisses her.
    The two hug.
    Michelle is trying not to think about Jesse.

    PART TWO:

    Gym:
    Blake and Remy are working out separately.
    Blake decides to take off her jacket.
    Remy stares at the revealing shirt she's wearing.
    She smiles, "Is there a stain on my shirt or something?"
    He shakes his head, "No. Why?"
    She laughs, "No reason."
    Blake bends over to get something out of her gym bag.
    She purposely leans towards Remy.
    Remy jumps up and grabs her, "I know what you're doing Blake and it is not going to work."
    She acts confused, "What are you talking about?"
    He shakes his head, "Don't play dumb. I know you Blake. I'm not buying this whole thing."
    She sighs, "I think you are reading to much into this."
    He stares at her, "Why are you spending so much time on me? You have 3 children, a talk show, and so many other things to focus on. Why are you bothering me?"
    She looks into his eyes, "Remy you brought out a passion in me that I haven't felt in a long time."
    Remy nods, "I know since Ross..."
    She shakes her head, "Before Ross. Remy you remind me of who I am as a person. You remind me that I'm Christina Blake Thorpe. And I'm not ready to give you up."
    Remy pulls away, "You gave up on us a year ago. I'm not just gonna be some booty call for you."
    Remy gets his stuff and leaves.

    Ravenwood:
    Shayne stands in front of Ava.
    Ava looks at Shayne, "You're a real piece of work you know that?"
    He walks away, "Why is that?"
    She looks at him, "Don't you have a boyfriend?"
    He shakes his head, "No. Rocky and I broke up last spring."
    She is confused, "Still doesn't make sense."
    He laughs, "Why wouldn't I like you?"
    She sighs, "Well I don't have a penis, there's a start."
    He looks at her, "I'm not gay."
    She laughs, "Okay, did you have sex with Rocky?"
    He nods, "Well ye-"
    She shouts, "GAY!!!"
    Shayne laughs, "You're so narrow minded."
    Ava sighs, "Oh, you're not gonna pull that bisexual thing on me are you? Because I'm not stupid. I know it's not real."
    Shayne nods, "I don't put labels on myself."
    She laughs, "That is such a 'Gay' thing to say. That's like one of the catch phrases."
    He looks at her, "I am attracted to people. Gender isn't my defining attraction. I have loved a man and I've loved a woman."
    She nods, "Weren't they related? Maybe it's just Cooper's you're attracted to. I think Buzz is single."
    He laughs, "No thanks. Maybe you and I wouldn't make a good couple."
    She shakes her head, "Do you even know my last name Shayne?"
    He sighs, "Uh... It's Spencer or Winslow?"
    She makes a buzzing sound, "Wrong answer. It's Lewis. Just like you. I never changed it back after I married Bill."
    Shayne smiles, "Well maybe you should keep it that way. Just in case."
    Ava just rolls her eyes at him.

    Bauer Home:
    Michelle and Bill are going over the plans.
    Michelle looks at him, "I was thinking you could walk down the aisle with your parents. I think that would be nice. Then my Dad can walk me down the aisle."
    He nods, "Okay so who's your maid of honor?"
    She smiles, "Marah of course."
    He nods, "Oh good I asked Shayne to be my best man. Brother and sister."
    She looks at him, "Will Mindy be in town?"
    Bill shakes his head, "No she and Rusty are busy."
    She sighs, "That's too bad. I wanted her in my wedding party."
    He smiles, "Really?"
    She nods, "Yeah she's your sister. That's why I'm asking Dinah and Maureen."
    He nods, "Okay then I'll get Rick."
    She looks at him, "You need one more guy to make it even."
    He nods, "Well Dylan isn't available either. But I'll ask my uncle Josh. I'm sure he'll be cool with it."
    Michelle smiles, "Great. Then I was thinking Robbie and Jude could be a little groomsman for you. And Emma and Leah could be one for me."
    Bill nods, "And then Hope will be the flower girl and we'll find someway to make HB our ring bearer."
    She smiles, "This is going to be the best wedding ever."
    The two of them kiss.

    Company:
    Olivia is still with Buzz.
    She looks at him, "I feel bad every time I look at you."
    He laughs, "Ouch."
    She shakes her head, "No. I'm just reminded. We fought so hard to be together. You gave up a lot to be with me. Then I broke your heart. You deserved better than that."
    He smiles, "I do it all over again. You and I were very happy together for a while."
    She nods, "But I was no Jenna. Jenna was the love of your life. You're soul mate."
    He nods, "Yes she was."
    Olivia sighs, "I don't think I'll ever find a love like that."
    He looks at her, "You know, there were times that I was worried about us because of that very reason."
    She is confused, "What?"
    He sighs, "A part of me was afraid that Bill would come back and you two would get back together."
    She laughs, "Me and Bill?"
    He nods, "Oh yeah. You two were great together. I was worried that I was just rebound."
    She smiles at him, "A guy like you could never be rebound."
    He laughs, "I have been rebound before."
    She laughs, "It's okay so have I."
    Buzz grins, "Your soul mate is out there somewhere. You just have to know where to look."
    Olivia hopes he's right.

    Spaulding Mansion:
    Annie is with Alan.
    Annie looks at him, "So you think I shouldn't rely on Dinah and Olivia in the long run?"
    He sits, "Of course not. Look at them. Did Dinah tell you she got shot in the head two years ago?"
    Annie nods, "I heard something about that."
    Alan nods, "The girl couldn't speak correctly, drive, or even hold down a job. And then there's Olivia. Another one of Springfield's lovely alcoholics. She may be sober now but it's only a matter of time before that bottle is back in her hands."
    Annie sighs, "I'm well aware of that."
    Alan sighs, "Come on! Look eventually they are going to get tired of this business stuff and they will go back to being simple housewives."
    Annie shakes her head, "Dinah isn't like that."
    Alan nods, "Well you may know Dinah well. But I know Olivia. Let me tell you something about Olivia Spencer. She may be heartless at times. Which as we both know is very helpful. But there are times where she gets it in her head that she is being to bad and has to stop it."
    Annie nods, "Really?"
    He nods, "We were together for a while. Then she got it in her head that I was bad and Phillip was good. Next thing I know she's pregnant with his child."
    Annie nods, "I'll be honest. I've been thinking of cutting Olivia from my team."
    Alan smiles, "Got anything in mind?"
    She sighs, "Well this is off the top of my head. But I may have a plan to get rid of Olivia and damage Phillip's reputation."
    He grins, "I like the sound of that. Two birds with one stone."
    Annie and Alan smile at each other.

    Cedars:
    Mel is getting a coffee.
    She is on her way back to the waiting room.
    Mel takes a deep breathe, "Everything will be okay. It has to be."
    Mel walks down the hall.
    She hears noise.
    Doctors and nurses are surrounding the room Alan Michael is in.
    She runs over, "What's going on? Where is my husband."

    Lillian walks over, "Mel. Alan Michael had an outburst. He attacked his doctor."
    Mel is in shock, "Oh my God! What happened?"
    Lillian sighs, "I don't know. But right now they are trying to calm him down and help the doctor."
    Mel cries, "This can't be happening."
    Lillian looks at her, "Mel, I may not know you too well. But after everything that happened with Rick and Beth... I just feel like I owe something to you."
    Mel is confused, "What are you talking about?"
    Lillian sighs, "Okay, Mel. Once everything settles down Alan Michael will either be sent to the police station or another option."
    Mel is confused, "What?"
    Lillian looks at her, "You can request that he is sent somewhere to get the help he needs. And honey I'm sorry but I am highly recommending as a friend that you do it."
    Mel can't believe what is happening.

    Episode 189

    By JAYJAY,

    People worry about each other in Springfield...



    Park:


    Olivia and Emma are going on a walk.
    Bill approaches them with HB in a stroller.
    Olivia smiles, "Hey."
    He grins, "I thought I saw you two. What are you girls up to today?"
    Emma hugs him, "Hey Daddy. We're having a girls day."
    Bill laughs, "I guess I better get out of the way."
    Olivia shakes her head, "No, you can hang out with us for a little bit. How's my little guy doing?"
    She smiles at HB.
    Emma turns to Bill, "Can I push him around the park?"
    Bill nods, "Sure be careful."
    Emma takes the stroller around.
    Olivia looks at Bill, "What have you been up to?"
    He sighs, "Michelle and I are planning more for the wedding. It's in two weeks."
    Olivia is surprised, "Wow that's sudden."
    Bill nods, "Well yeah. I mean Michelle wants things to happen fast. She really wants us married."
    Olivia nods, "And how do you feel?"
    He smiles, "I want to be married again of course."
    She sighs, "To Michelle?"
    He nods, "Of course."
    She looks at him, "I'm really glad that you're so happy Bill."
    Bill can tell something is bothering her , "Hey is there something wrong?"
    Olivia knows exactly what she wants to say.



    Spaulding Mansion:


    Alan and Annie sit across each other from the desk.
    Annie smiles, "I know of a way that we can not only get Olivia out of the picture but sabotage Phillip."
    Alan smiles, "Oh I like the sound of that Annie. But are you sure you know what to do?"
    She nods, "I think so. You see all we have to do is think of a way to seperate Olivia and Emma."
    Alan grins, "I like the sound of that."
    She nods, "Then you'll have your granddaughter back."
    Alan sighs, "Where does Phillip fit in?"
    Annie smiles, "Phillip wants his daughter back. He'll do just about anything at this point."
    Alan is confused, "What are you suggesting."
    Annie sighs, "Whatever we do to Olivia is going to be big. Big enough that we'll need to keep our names out of it."
    He nods, "But who's names will be on it?"
    She smiles, "I say we pin the whole thing on Phillip?"
    Alan sits back, "Oh yeah?"
    She nods, "That way Olivia is out of our hair. Then the whole town blames Phillip for it."
    Alan has a huge smile on his face, "I really missed working with you Annie Dutton."
    Annie nods, "And I you."
    The two smile at each other.



    Cedars:


    Alan Michael is sitting in a room.
    Ed walks in with Mel.
    Ed walks over to him, "Hello Alan Michael."
    Alan Michael sighs, "Hey Uncle Ed."
    Ed looks at him, "You want to explain to me what happened just now with your doctor?"
    Alan Michael nods, "He kept asking me questions. He wouldn't stop so I had to make him."
    Ed sighs, "By strangling him?"
    Alan Michael has tears in his eyes, "I don't know what's wrong with me Uncle Ed."
    Mel tries to walk over to him, "Honey..."
    He shoves her away, "No! You stay away from me!"
    Mel puts her hands on him, "Alan Micahel I am still your wife. Please don't shut me out."
    Alan Michael is getting stressed.
    Ed takes Mel by the arm and walks her out.
    Mel turns to him, "Ed..."
    Ed looks at her, "Mel you used to be a doctor. You know better than to act like this around patients."
    She shakes her head, "He's not a patient he's my husband."
    Ed nods, "And he's my nephew. I am going to do whatever it takes to help him. But I need you to cooperate."
    Mel has never felt so helpless.



    Ravenwood:


    Ava sits on her bed.
    Shayne looks at her, "What are you thinking about?"
    She sighs, "My baby. I missed his birthday. Olivia offered to bring me pictures but I don't want pictures of Bill and Olivia holding my baby together."
    Shayne sighs, "I'm sure they would have sent you some with just HB in them."
    She scoffs, "I hate that name. H B."
    Shayne nods, "Yeah Harlan Billy Lewis IV."
    She shakes her head, "It's not cute. I should have gotten to name my child. Not them."
    Shayne nods, "Weren't you in a coma?"
    She nods, "Thanks to your sister!!!"
    Shayne looks down, "I'm not going to get into all of that."
    Ava sighs, "Are Jeffrey and Marah still together?"
    He nods, "Yeah. They are living at the old farmhouse."
    She nods, "They get married?"
    He shakes his head, "No but with everything going on I'm sure she's thinking about it."
    Ava is confused, "What's going on?"
    Shayne nods, "Michelle and Bill's wedding."
    Ava stares at him, "What?"
    Shayne looks at her, "You didn't know?"
    Ava gets angry, "Are you telling me that Bill is going to marry that woman? The doctor who let me slip into a coma? The woman who has been trying play mother to my child?"
    Shayne wishes he hadn't brought it up now.



    Old Cabin:


    Cyrus knocks on the door.
    Guillespie opens, "Well hey bro. I'm sorry I wasn't expecting any company today."
    Cyrus nods, "Very funny. I brought you some food and some money. I wanted to check on you.'
    Guillespie takes the stuff, "Thanks! See ya."
    G goes to shut the door in his face.
    Cyrus stops him, "Would you let me in?"
    G moves out of the way.
    Cyrus walks in, "Does it get to cold here at night?"
    Guillespie nods, "Yeah but it's fine. People like me don't deserve to have real homes."
    Cyrus sighs, "Can we not do this?"
    Guillespie smiles, "How are things at Harley's house? Is it nice and warm? Cozy?"
    Cyrus shakes his head, "You could have that too. You can turn your life around."
    Guillespie nods, "Just not around other people."
    Cyrus sighs, "Just not in Springfield."
    G looks at him, "You mean just not around your friend! Because you are ashamed of me! You've finally made a life for yourself and I'm just going to screw it up! Right?"
    Cyrus hates to say this, "Yes."
    Guillespie is furious at his brother.



    Docks:


    Remy is walking around.
    Blake is following him, "Remy would you just listen to me?"
    Remy turns to her, "You can't keep following me everywhere that I go! That is stalking!"
    She shakes her head, "No. I'm just trying to get you to listen to me. I will follow you all over Springfield if I have to. I deserve to be listened to Remy."
    He turns to her, "Blake! We broke up a year ago."
    Blake nods, "And we made love on New Years!"
    Remy nods, "Then you went to be with Ross!"
    She shakes her head, "I went to bring him home but he wouldn't! My children still think he's dead. Ross is probably never going to come home Remy. So stop it."
    Remy sighs, "You don't get it. I'm not going to be some consolation prize for you."
    She shakes her head, "You're not."
    He nods, "Yes I am."
    Blake looks at him, "Remy don't you think we belong together now? I haven't stopped thinking about you and having feelings for you. I know you feel the same way. You never slept with Stephanie did you?"
    Remy sighs, "That's none of your business."
    She nods, "I knew it! And you haven't been with Liz either. It's because you still have feelings for me."
    Remy looks at her, "Just because I didn't sleep with someone in Springfield doesn't mean I didn't have sex with someone else."
    Blake is very confused by him.

    PART TWO:

    Old Cabin:
    Guillespie turns away from his brother.
    Cyrus sighs, "I'm sorry I didn't mean for it to come out like that. I just don't-"
    G turns to him, "Stop it! I'm sick and tired of listening to you. You think you're something special now? Just because you're dating some cop with 4 kids? You're still the same man. And you always will be. You are no better than I am."
    Cyrus shakes his head, "I have made a new life for myself. I put all that behind me."
    G laughs, "Really? There aren't times when you see the outline of man's wallet in his pants and think about how easily you could slip it out without him noticing? There aren't times when you see a drunken trophy wife complaining about her husband and you think of all the ways you could get her in to bed and make off with her cash?"
    Cyrus backs away, "You are pathetiic."
    Guillspie nods, "And I'm right. Sure right now you're doing okay. Buzz is letting you take shifts at Company. But can you really live like this? I mean Harley's not making much herself and she's got the kids to take care of. And you like nice things Cyrus."
    Cyrus scoffs, "Wow! I have no idea why I tried to help you. Because you are hopeless."
    Cyrus leaves and slams the door.
    Guillespie kicks the wall in frustration.

    Cedars:
    Ed walks in to see Alan Michael.
    Alan Michael is sitting in a chair.
    Ed looks at him, "Are you okay?"
    Alan Michael shakes his head, "No I'm not. And I haven't been for a long time now."
    Ed sighs, "So what do you think we should do about that?"
    Alan Michael has tears in his eyes, "I don't want to lose my mind. I don't want to end up like Phillip or Alan."
    Ed nods, "I don't want that either. I want to see you get help. But I can't do that without you wanting it."
    Alan Michael nods, "I need help."
    Ed sighs, "Felicia contacted some doctors. They are going to come over and talk with you. They might possibly try to suggest Ravenwood to you. But I just want you to know-"
    Alan Michael looks up, "I think that's a good idea."
    Ed is confused, "What?"
    Alan Michael sighs, "I might change my mind later. But right now I think Ravenwood would be a good break from everything."
    Ed looks down, "Okay. I'll talk to the doctors."
    Ed gets up and walks out.
    Alan Michael sighs, "I'm going to get you back Annie. And now you won't even be expecting it."

    Ravenwood:
    Shayne stands up.
    Ava is furious, "Are you serious? Bill is going to marry that twit Michelle Bauer?"
    Shayne shakes his head, "Can we not do this please?"
    She shouts, "You brought it up!"
    He sighs, "I thought you knew!"
    She shakes her head, "I don't know anything! No one tells me anything. They won't even let me read the newspaper anymore or watch television. I told you that."
    Shayne turns to her, "Ava, the angrier you get is not going to change what's happening."
    She kicks the wall, "Damn it!"
    Shayne looks at her, "I know how you feel."
    She shakes her head, "Doubt it."
    He nods, "Someone you love has moved on. It's a weird feeling, especially when you still haven't gotten closure."
    Ava turns to him, "My child is involved."
    Shayne sighs, "As much as you will hate to hear this, Michelle isn't a bad person at all."
    Ava lays down, "Go away! I can't deal with this. I can't deal with people praising bitches like Michelle and Marah and Olivia. Those 3 made my life a living hell. They took everything from me."
    Shayne looks at her, "For someone who wants her life back you are sure pushing it away."
    She looks at him, "What do you suggest I do?"
    He looks her in the eye, "You need to work on making yourself better. Because the sooner they see you are better the sooner you will be out of here and back with your son."
    Shayne leaves Ava to be alone.
    Ava thinks about what he said.

    Park:
    Olivia is standing with Bill.
    She reassures him, "I'm fine thank you. I'm just... there's been so much going on lately."
    Bill nods, "I know. I mean it's tough for me to enjoy my happiness. Reva's cancer's back, Dinah has issues with Mallet, and now all this stuff with Phillip."
    Olivia nods, "He is really going to try and get custody and we can't let that happen."
    He sighs, "I know."
    She shakes her head, "He's a Spaulding. Bill, you know what they are capable of. My nephew Jonathan will probably never come home to Springfield because of them."
    Bill sighs, "He's gotta stay on the run to protect his daughter from the Spauldings."
    She sighs, "I'm proud of him. I would have done the same thing."
    Bill sighs, "But I mean Lizzie is seperated from her daughter."
    Olivia nods, "Well sometimes one parent has to put the needs of the child before the other parent."
    Bill looks her in the eyes, "Olivia promise me that you won't do something drastic. At least not without coming to me first. Okay?"
    Olivia sighs, "I promise Bill."
    Emma walks back over with HB.
    Bill smiles, "Hey sweetie. I'm gonna take him home now. You two have a nice day and call me tonight okay?"
    Emma hugs him, "I love you Daddy."
    Olivia and Emma walk one way and Bill and HB go the other.

    Spaulding Mansion:
    Alan and Annie are sitting in the office.
    Annie looks at him, "Alan, I'll never understand how you can be so cruel to your own children. I'm grateful for it at the moment but I'll never understand it."
    Alan sighs, "I only do what is best for my family. They will all understand someday."
    Annie shakes her head, "I don't know."
    He laughs, "If you had a family you'd understand."
    She sighs, "I did."
    Alan shakes his head, "I mean children."
    She looks at him, "I did!"
    He is confused, "You got a secret family?"
    She sighs, "It's not secret that I love Marah and Shayne as if they were my own flesh and blood."
    Alan sighs, "Oh Annie come off it! I told you long ago to say your goodbyes to them."
    Annie shakes her head, "Do you love Phillip any less because he isn't your biological son?"
    Alan looks at her, "Do you even talk to those kids anymore?"
    She shakes her head, "No. But I would do anything for them. I just hope they know that."
    Alan and Annie understand each other but are still confused by each other.

    Docks:
    Remy walks away from Blake.
    Blake walks over to him, "What are you talking about?"
    He sighs, "Nothing."
    She shakes her head, "No not nothing. You brought it up. So you slept with someone else?"
    Remy nods, "We aren't dating anymore Blake."
    She sighs, "I don't believe you."
    He nods, "I'm not lying."
    She shakes her head, "You're just trying to push me away."
    He sighs, "It was in Pasadena. When I was out of town. A long time ago now. But yeah I hooked up with a woman."
    Blake sighs, "What was she like?"
    He laughs, "Nothing like any woman in Springfield. That whole place was nothing like Springfield."
    Blake turns to him, "You know if all you wanted was sex, why wouldn't you go to someone you already knew?"
    He sighs, "I needed something fun, something hot and exciting."
    She nods, "That's what we had!"
    He looks at her, "Then we fell for each other and everything got complicated."
    She shakes her head, "You just need to remember."
    Remy walks away from her.
    Blake takes a few minutes to think.
    She makes a phone call, "Hey... yes it's me. I was wondering if we could have another meeting... yes there is a knew book I've been working on. It will be one of my greatest novels yet... okay see you then."
    Blake hangs up.
    She sighs, "Things will be clear soon. I'll remind you of what we shared Remy."

    Episode 19

    By JAYJAY,

    It is a secretive afternoon in Springfield.

    AVA'S:

    Bill backs up, "Oh Olivia. Hey."
    Olivia is serious, "Hello Bill. How's my daughter?"
    Ava speaks up, "I'm fine, now could you leave?"
    Olivia looks over at Bill, "Really is this who you are now?"
    "Olivia I am not trying to hurt you."
    "Well you're doing a very good job. I'll see you in court." Olivia storms out.
    Bill goes after her but Ava grabs his arm, "Bill. Come on forget about her. She'll be out of our hair soon enough."

    Main Street:

    Susan comes up to Marina, "Hey I got this." She hands her a bag.
    Marina opens it to find a watch, "Oh who's it for?"
    "Cyrus."
    "What? Susan..."
    "Oh it's fine. I have some extra money. Really, think of it as a gift for both of you."
    "Thanks." Marina hugs her cousin.
    Susan looks at the time, "Oh I have to get going. See ya cuz."
    "See ya."
    Marina walks home.

    Company:

    Ashlee is talking to Lizzie, "I know that you're dying Lizzie."
    Lizzie jumps up and pulls her to the corner, "What the hell are you talking about Ashlee?"
    "Lizzie I know. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to find out but I did and I can't forget it."
    Lizzie is getting frustrated, "You know what Ashlee I am sick and tired of your lies. It is pathetic and sad. You are an annoying little brat that..."
    Ashlee pleads with her, "Lizzie I just want to help you! Let me help you."
    "No!"
    "Oh my God. So it's true? It is."

    Main Street:

    Cyrus walks over to Julie, "So what are you doing here?"
    "Not much. Just getting to know all the new people."
    "Where are you staying?"
    "With a friend."
    "Have you spoke with your brother?"
    "Yes."
    "You know you said that you weren't planning on coming back to Springfield."
    "You didn't hold up your end of the deal Cyrus. Now I am taking over."
    Cyrus sees Marina across the street on her way home. He prays that she doesn't see him.

    Mallet House:

    Maureen is listening to music in the livingroom. Dinah turns it down, "Hey! Please keep it down."
    Maureen isn't happy, "D I was listening to that!"
    Dinah changes the subject, "How was school?"
    "Fine I guess."
    "Well how are your grades?"
    "Why?"
    "Because one of our agreements was that you keep your grades up."
    "There all A's. Besides what were your grades?"
    "I didn't get school until I was older. It's something that I missed out on."
    "I didn't know that."
    "Well there is a lot that you don't know."
    "Don't worry. We have a lot of time."
    Dinah fakes a smile.

    PART TWO:

    AVA'S:
    Bill stares at Ava, "You act like we're going to get rid of Olivia."
    "No I didn't mean that. I love my mother."
    "Okay. I want to be sure that you know that what I am doing is for Emma."
    "I know that of course. You are going to be a great with Emma. That is why I did what I did."
    "What did you do?"
    "Oh uh... You know bringing you here to save her."
    "Yeah. I got to go." Bill kisses Ava and leaves.

    Main Street:
    Cyrus ducks over so Marina doesn't see him. Julie jokes, "Ooh who are we hiding from?"
    "Shut up!"
    "Oh what? Doesn't she know what kind of person you are?"
    "What kind of person I used to be. And yes."
    "Cyrus I have to go. Just remember that I wanted you to help my brother."
    "Well things changed."
    "Yes. Now I have to get Dinah away from him all on my own."
    "Does he know what you are now?"
    "Eh probably not. But it's for his own good." Julie whispers in his ear, "Remember Cyrus, I am the one who gave your job here and I can drag you back out." Julie leaves

    Mallet House:
    Maureen comes over to Dinah, "Hey I might go out to my Dad's tonight."
    "What? Why?"
    "Because he's my father."
    "I know honey but Mom doesn't think that you should be around him right now."
    "And what do you think?"
    "Well I mean he's still with Julie."
    "So what?"
    "Honey just not tonight"
    "You know what you're just like her!" Maureen runs to her room.
    Mallet comes in and gives his wife a comforting hug.


    The Beacon:
    Marina is sitting on the bed. Cyrus walks in, "Hey."
    "Hi." They kiss, "Oh hey Susan bought this for you."
    Cyrus sees the watch, "Wow that's nice."
    "Isn't it?"
    "Yeah. I mean I can't accept this."
    "I know but she wouldn't take it back."
    "How much did it cost?" Cyrus goes to find a reciept, "Huh."
    "What?"
    "Well this says that she bought some earings and a gift box but no watch."
    "That's weird. Maybe she bought it seperatly."
    "Yeah." Cyrus is still suspious.

    Harley's House:

    Susan and Guillespie are making out on the porch, "So how did it go babe?"
    Susan smiles, "Great! Marina isn't the brightest cop that I've met."
    The two laugh.
    Harley walks out and Guillepsie hides behind the wall.
    "Hi sweetie!"
    "Hey Harley."
    "Oh I wanted to talk to you."
    "Oh sure."
    "Yeah I just." Harley hugs her, "I'm just glad that you're here."
    "Oh I'm glad too. I'll be in soon."
    "Okay." Harley walks in.
    Susan turns around, "G?" He's gone.


    Company:
    Lizzie walks outside. Ashlee comes after, "Lizzie please I want to help."
    "Would just shut up Ashlee?! I mean is that even possible for you or are you just to stupid to accomplish that?"
    "Lizzie please I am sorry."
    "No you know what you are a nosy little bitch!"
    "Lizzie please you're sick..."
    Lizzie smacks Ashlee, "Shut up you ignornant brat!" Lizzie runs off in tears leaving Ashlee sobbing.

    AVA'S:
    Ava is closing up. She hears footsteps, "Oh I was wondering when you were going to come back." She turns around.
    Guillespie walks in, "Well I didn't know that you missed me so much."
    "What are you doing here? I thought you were someone else."
    "Oh that's a shame. I need more money."
    "I gave you money."
    "Oh but I need more. Then I will go."
    "No. Why should I?"
    "Well it would be a shame if your mother and boyfriend found out that you hired me to kidnap your own little sister for a couple of days."
    Ava rolls her eyes.
    Guillespie strokes her face, "I'll give you a week or so." He walks out leaving her there to think of what her next move is.

    Episode 190

    By JAYJAY,

    A memorable night in Springfield...



    Bauer Home:


    The ladies get together for Michelle.
    Marah smiles, "Ladies! Thank you all for attending Michelle's bachelorette party."
    Vanessa shakes her head, "No, you mean her bridal shower. Bachelorette parties are... well let's not even go there."
    Marah laughs, "The night is young Aunt Vanessa."
    Michelle stands up, "Well I'm not that young anymore. This is going to be a bridal shower."
    Dinah smiles, "I'm thrilled. My little brother is going to be marrying an amazing woman."
    Michelle hugs her, "Thank you Dinah."
    Marah smiles, "And I couldn't be happier that my best friend and my cousin are getting married."
    Vanessa looks at Michelle, "You are going to be a Lewis woman now. I hope you're ready for it!"
    Michelle laughs, "I'm no Vanessa Chamberlain and I'm certainly no Reva Shayne. But I think I am going to enjoying being Mrs. Bauer-Lewis."
    Marah nods, "Dr. Bauer-Lewis."
    Michelle smiles, "Yes thank you."
    Dinah raises her glass, "To Bill and Michelle!"
    The ladies all toast, "To Bill and Michelle."



    Cross Creek:


    Bill sits with the guys.
    Billy laughs, "My little boy is going to become a married man. Can you believe it?"
    Bill sighs, "Well this will be my third marriage."
    Billy smiles, "3rd times a charm."
    Bill sighs, "Well 4th sorta."
    Billy sighs, "Just let us have this moment son."
    Josh laughs, "We are all very happy for you Bill. Michelle is a great girl. You two are lucky to have each other."
    Shayne nods, "I'm happy for you cousin. Congrats."
    Rick smiles, "I want you to take good care of my little sister Lewis or there is going to be hell to pay."
    Bill laughs, "Don't have to tell me twice."
    Ed smiles, "In all seriousness, Bill you are a great man. I've watched you grow up and I'm so happy that Michelle has you in her life now. You have been good for her and great for her children. I'm grateful that Michelle and the kids have you."
    Bill smiles, "I'm grateful to have them."
    Shayne raises his glass, "To Bill and Michelle."
    The men raise their drinks, non alcohol out of respect for Billy and Ed.
    They toast, "To Bill and Michelle."


    Aspiring Writers Seminar:


    Coop is standing in the library after the seminar.
    He smiles, "Wow that was incredible. I just met one of my all time favorite authors."
    A woman overhearing him turns to him, "He's just great isn't he?"
    Coop nods, "Amazing. I mean everything he said was just exactly what was in my head."
    She smiles, "I know right?"
    He grins, "I noticed you in front asking all the questions that we were afraid to ask."
    She laughs, "Well I believe if you don't ask then you don't deserve to know. I used to not be a big reader before I started working here."
    He looks at her, "Do you work here?"
    She nods, "Oh yeah. I'm a librarian. I know boring."
    He shakes his head, "No I've just never seen such a beautiful librarian before."
    She laughs, "Well thanks."
    He grins, "I'm Henry."
    She shakes his hand, "I'm Mary."
    He looks at her, "I don't usually ask this right after I meet someone but would you want to grab some coffee?"
    She nods, "I would love to? Right now?"
    He smiles, "Yeah."
    The two leave together.



    Company:


    Cassie and Edmund are sitting in a booth together.
    Edmund sighs, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"
    She shakes her head, "No we are friends Edmund. And this is what friends do remember?"
    He shakes his head, "No."
    She turns to him, "I hope that one day people can forgive me and when they do I want them to be able to sit and have a meal with me the way that I am with you."
    Edmund sighs, "Cassie you've already proven to me that you have forgiven me. You don't have to prove it to anyone else."
    She nods, "Yes I do."

    Buzz walks over, "Uh..."
    Cassie looks at him, "I'll have my usual Buzz."
    Buzz shakes his head, "Uh okay."
    Edmund sighs, "I'll have whatever she is having. Thank you Buzz."
    Buzz stares for a moment then walks away.
    Edmund laughs, "Old times."
    She nods, "I remember all the looks we got when we used to date. No one understood."
    He sighs, "No one did."
    She nods, "But it didn't matter. I mean as long as we understood it, no one else's opinion mattered."
    Edmund smiles, "Typical Cassie. Never caring what anyone thought about her. That's why so many people love you."
    Cassie smiles at Edmund.



    Old Cabin:


    Lorelei knocks on the door.
    Guillespie opens, "Hey gorgeous."
    She walks in, "I wanted to drop by and say hi."
    Guillespie smiles, "Awe so nice of you to check on me. Now why are you really here?"
    She scoffs, "What you don't believe me?"
    He looks at the bag in her hand, "What's that?"
    She laughs, "Okay! Well I got a job for ya buddy."
    She takes the bag and dumps it on the table.
    Jewelry comes falling out.
    G looks at it, "Nice!"
    She nods, "I know! Beth has got some classy stuff there. That could by me a house."
    He looks at her, "You selling it?"
    She shakes her head, "Nope you are."
    He laughs, "What?"
    She sighs, "Beth Spaulding can't be seen doin' that. And I can't send someone else or Phil's gonna find out. I just want some money to stash. You can get a cut of it."
    He nods, "Okay. So you trust me?"
    She sighs, "I just figured I'd see how you do with this job."
    He walks over to her, "I won't let you down babe."
    She grins, "I'm glad to hear it buddy."
    The two laugh and go through the jewelry.



    Harley's House:


    Harley and Cyrus are kissing.
    The car outside honks.
    Harley sighs, "The kids are getting impatient. I have to get them over to Gus's."
    Cyrus sighs, "Okay then I'll meet you at Company?"
    She smiles, "Sounds good. Then we'll come home and spend our alone time together."
    The two kiss.
    Harley goes to take the kids to Gus's.
    Later Cyrus is getting ready.
    The doorbell rings.
    Cyrus goes downstairs and opens the door.
    No one is there.
    A nervous Cyrus steps out, "Hey? Little brother?"

    Lucy walks from behind the corner, "Busted."
    Cyrus turns to her, "What the hell?"
    She smiles, "You thought I was you're brother?"
    Cyrus shakes his head, "No."
    She grins, "Don't deny it Cyrus. I already knew. I saw you taking groceries up to the old cabin. This was just for fun."
    Cyrus scoffs, "You spying on me?"
    Lucy nods, "You're dating my sister. You also dated my niece. I have a right to."
    Cyrus walks away, "I'm not going to do this with you."
    She follows him, "Oh yes you will. We got a deal to make. Otherwise I'm going to tell my sister that you have been hiding your hitman brother behind her back."
    Cyrus turns and stares at Lucy.

    PART TWO:

    Coffee Shop:
    Mary and Coop have been talking.
    Mary smiles, "I totally agree! I mean his early work was good but I think his later stuff was brilliant."
    He nods, "I know. Most people always say the old stuff is good no matter what. But a lot of authors peaked in their writing with the later stuff. Wow you are great to talk to."
    She laughs, "It's weird that we are having such a passionate conversation about literature."
    He nods, "Well I am an English teacher."
    She nods, "That's really cool. I recently got my associates degree. I went to community college for a while."
    Coop smiles, "It's never to late to learn."
    She grins, "Well if I had you as a teacher I would have enjoyed classes even more."
    Coop laughs, "Well thank you."
    She smiles, "A librarian and a teacher. How awesome are we?"
    He laugh, "Two underrated jobs."
    She sighs, "So I'm assuming because you're so great that means you don't live here?"
    He shakes his head, "No. I'm just in town for this. I'm leaving soon. Unfortunatly."
    Mary sighs, "Just my luck."
    He nods, "I have to ask you a question and please don't laugh."
    She smiles, "What?"
    Coop looks into her eyes, "Do you believe in love at first sight."
    She grins, "If you had asked me this morning I would have said no. But now... I think so."
    The two smile and look into each other's eyes.

    Company:
    Cassie and Edmund are eating.
    Harley walks in.
    She sees them and walks over, "Hi."
    Cassie smiles, "Hey!"
    Harley looks at them, "What's going on?"
    Cassie grins, "I am having dinner with a good friend of mine. Edmund Winslow. What about you?"
    Harley sighs, "I'm meeting Cyrus here."
    Cassie smiles, "Oh good."
    Harley looks at her, "Can I talk with you over here for a moment? Girl talk really quick."
    Cassie follows her to the other side of the diner.
    Harley looks at her, "Okay if there is something you can't tell me then blink twice."
    Cassie laughs, "Stop it."
    Harley is confused, "Why are you here with him?"
    Cassie sighs, "Listen I'm trying to get people to give me a second chance. How can I deny that to Edmund?"
    Harley sighs, "Honey this is like his 1,000,000th chance."
    Cassie shakes her head, "I have to do what's right."
    Harley turns her head, "First Blake now Cassie."
    Cassie looks at her, "Wait. What's up with Blake?"
    Harley sighs, "Nothing. Go enjoy your meal. I am gonna look for Cyrus."
    Cassie hugs Harley then goes back to Edmund.
    Harley doesn't want to tell Cassie that Blake has been hanging out with Alan.

    Old Cabin:
    Lorelei and Guillespie go through the jewelry.
    Lorelei plays with it, "Isn't this stuff cool? I mean just knowing how expensive it all is."
    Guillespie looks at her, "Aren't you used to it by now?"
    She shakes her head, "Baby you never get used to this."
    He looks at her, "Do your Beth voice."
    Lorelei sits up, "Give me something to say."
    Guillespie smiles, "Say something very Spaulding-like."
    She clears her throat and drops the accent, "You know Mr. Guillespie, I must take the opportunity to inform you that messing with a Spaulding is just as dangerous as putting a loaded gun into your mouth."
    Guillespie is laughing, "That is crazy!"
    She looks at him seriously, "But I am not kidding. Alan Spaulding taught me a lot. If you mess with me then I'm going to get you back twice as hard. I promise you that."
    Guillespie looks at her, "You are so hot."
    She shoves him, "Hey! I'm married woman!"
    He laughs, "Not really. Phillip loves Beth. Not her alter ego."
    Lorlei sighs, "I don't love him either. I have loved some men. Bill Lewis. Edmund Winslow, Alan Spaulding. But Alan thought I was Beth too. They all prefer her."
    Guillespie shakes his head, "I don't."
    Lorelei scoffs, "Well you're opinion means squat to me."
    Lorelei continues to go through the loot.

    Cross Creek:
    Bill is laughing and joking with the guys.
    Shayne looks at him, "So are you going to miss being single?"
    He shakes his head, "I'm not single. I've been with Michelle for a while now. I was not single for long."
    Shayne nods, "Exactly."
    Billy laughs, "No. My son wants to be married. I can see it in his eyes. He is ready to be tied down again."
    Josh nods, "I think that you and Michelle are going to have a lot of happiness."
    Bill smiles, "So do I."
    Ed looks at him, "I want you to know that I appreciate you making Robbie and Hope so welcome. And I want you to know that I plan on making Emma and Harlan feel the same way."
    Bill nods, "I'm glad to hear it. Michelle, Robbie, Hope, Emma, and Harlan Billy, we're going to be one happy family. We all fit so well together. It makes sense."
    Billy nods, "Those kids could use a good Mom like Michelle."
    Bill sighs, "Dad let's not do that."
    Billy laughs, "Come on. It's no secret that Olivia and Ava aren't anything like Michelle."
    Bill sighs, "Ava is sick. And Olivia is a great Mom. I'm lucky that she brought Emma into my life."
    The men get a little uncomfortable.

    Bauer Home:
    Vanessa and Dinah sit on the couch.
    Dinah looks at Vanessa, "So Michelle says that Maureen told her she wouldn't be back in time for the wedding."
    Vanessa nods, "Mmm hmm."
    Dinah sighs, "You're just not going to tell me anything."
    Vanessa sighs, "Let's not do this Dinah. This is Michelle's night."
    Marah walks out, "Ladies, Michelle is ready to show you girls her dress! It looks great on her."
    Vanessa smiles, "Oh let's see it!"
    Michelle walks out in her wedding dress.
    Dinah jumps up, "Ah! You look gorgeous!"
    Vanessa hugs her, "You look beautiful. Marah did a great job."
    Marah smiles, "Thank you."
    Michelle grins, "I like it too."
    Vanessa hugs her, "Your Mother is going to be so proud of you."
    Marah looks at her watch, "Okay Michelle you go change out of the dress and we're gonna go set up some games.
    The ladies leave Michelle alone.
    Michelle grabs her phone and sneaks outside.
    She is trying to call Bill.
    She dials his number.
    Footsteps are coming up to her.
    She turns.
    Jesse is standing there.



    Harley's House:
    Cyrus is with Lucy.
    Cyrus looks at her, "So you are looking to make some kind of deal with me?"
    Lucy sighs, "I hope you don't think it's some sexual thing. Because you aren't my type. I don't really get why Marina and Harley were so crazy about you. You're a loser."
    Cyrus scoffs, "What do you want?"
    Lucy sighs, "I need you to go out on a hunt for me. There is a missing person I need you to find."
    He laughs, "Aren't you dating a cop?"
    Lucy nods, "The cops have to follow the laws. You don't. And there are more details the cops don't know."
    Cyrus shakes his head, "I'm not a PI."
    She nods, "But you can find people. This person is on the run and you have to locate them."
    He shakes his head, "I can't just leave."
    She nods, "Yes you can. And you will."
    He sighs, "Who are we even talking about?"
    She takes a deep breathe, "Aubrey Cross."
    He scoffs, "What? Why? What reason do you possibly have to go after Aubrey Cross?"
    Lucy looks at him, "I have my reasons."
    He walks away, "This is crazy."
    She sighs, "Do it for Marina."
    He turns to her, "What does this have to do with Marina?"
    Lucy sighs, "Marina's baby didn't die in the fire. Aubrey kidnapped him and let Marina think the baby died. But she has him. She has had him this whole time."
    Cyrus stares at Lucy in shock and disbelief.

    PREVIEWS:
    Cyrus is angered by Lucy's demands

    Episode 191

    By JAYJAY,

    So many decisions to make in little time in Springfield...



    Cross Creek:


    Bill walks outside.
    Shayne walks out with him, "Hey. Are you okay?"
    Bill nods, "It's just... I am trying to enjoy my night and my father is making it difficult."
    Shayne sighs, "Billy was just joking around."

    Billy walks out, "Shayne can I talk to my son please?"
    Shayne goes inside.
    Billy walks over to him, "I'm sorry."
    Bill sighs, "I didn't mean to make things uncomfortable. But Olivia isn't a bad person."
    Billy looks at him, "I've never made it a secret how I feel about Olivia Spencer. But I wasn't saying that to upset you Bill. I just thought with you moving on with Michelle that all of your feelings for Olivia would be well gone."
    Bill turns to him, "It's not like that. Olivia is Emma's biological mother. I am her adoptive father. Olivia could easily have me cut out of Emma's life but she hasn't. I owe a lot to her."
    Billy sighs, "I'm sorry. You're right. You know you're Mom and I love that Emma. She has really become our Granddaughter. We couldn't love her any more if she were blood."
    Bill looks at him, "I'm glad to hear you say that. Emma is my daughter whether she is blood or not."
    Billy smiles, "She's a lucky kid to have you, Olivia, and Michelle in her life."
    Bill and Billy walks back inside.



    Bauer Home:


    Michelle is outside.
    Jesse approaches her, "Hi."
    She turns to him, "What are you doing here?"
    He sighs, "I was going for a walk."
    She shakes her head, "Around my neighborhood?"
    He nods, "I have no idea how I ended up here. But when I noticed your house I saw you walking outside, in that dress."
    Michelle looks down at the wedding dress she is still wearing, "Oh, that's right."
    He stares, "You look absolutely beautiful."
    She shakes her head, "What are you doing here Jesse?"
    He sighs, "I told you. Now tell me what you're doing outside in your wedding dress."
    She sighs, "I was showing it to the women. They went to go set up some games or something. I needed to just get out here and take a break from everything going on."
    Jesse nods, "Everything?"
    She looks down, "Not like that."
    He looks at her hands, "You brought your phone."
    She sighs, "I was going to call Bill."
    He shakes his head, "I wouldn't."
    She is confused, "Why not?"
    He sighs, "It's bad luck. We both know you don't need more of that."
    Michelle stares at him.



    Harley's House:


    Lucy is with Cyrus.
    She explains to him, "Aubrey delivered Marina's baby and let her believe it died in the fire. But she took it with her on the run."
    Cyrus is confused, "Why would she want Marina's baby?"
    Lucy sighs, "She was faking a pregnancy. The typical crazy woman takes pregnant woman's baby story. Only now we don't know where Aubrey is."
    Cyrus looks at her, "Does Marina know?"
    Lucy shakes her head, "No. We can't tell her until we know the baby is alive otherwise she will lose him all over again."
    He walks away, "Unbelievable! How can they keep this from her? Is that even legal?"
    Lucy sighs, "The only people who know are me, David, and Lizzie Spaulding. No one else."
    Cyrus laughs, "So David sent you to enlist me?"
    She shakes her head, "David doesn't know about this. He would never agree to it."
    Cyrus nods, "You're a real piece of work. Well I'm sorry but I'm not going to be a part of this."
    She nods, "Oh yes you will! Or I'm going to tell Harley that Guillespie is back in town."
    Cyrus shakes his head, "Whatever."
    She nods, "What about Alan Spaulding? I'm sure he won't be to happy. Or hey maybe it'll make the papers and Jonathan Randall will find out. I wonder what he would do to the man who murdered his wife. Or AC Mallet, didn't your brother murder his sister?"
    Cyrus walks over to her, "Are you really going to put his life in jeopardy just to get back at me?"
    She nods, "I need your help."
    Cyrus feels like he's trapped.



    Towers:


    Blake is having a meeting with a publisher.
    He smiles, "It's nice to see you."
    She smiles, "You too. I really hope we can come to an agreement on this project."
    He nods, "Right a new book?"
    She nods, "Yep. By far one of my greatest yet."
    He sighs, "I don't know a lot of people really seemed to enjoy 'Love in the Lock Up'."
    Blake smiles, "Yes but that was years ago. This one is going to be so much better."
    He sits back, "Well let's hear the plot."
    She explains, "It begins on New Years Eve. When a business woman is showering and her body guard decides to join her to celebrate the new year in a spontaneous way. And from then on it's a love story about these two people who are fighting their intense passion."
    He grins, "Does this story have a title?"
    She shakes her head, "Not quite yet. But so far I haven't finished it yet. But it won't be long."
    He nods, "Well tell me this, does this story have a happy ending?"
    She grins, "Oh yes I promise you. The two characters will end up together. Believe me."



    Spaulding Mansion:


    Lorelei walks down the hallway.
    She stops to look at herself in the mirror.
    She loves seeing herself in nice clothes with expensive jewelry.
    She walks into her bedroom ready to lay down.

    Phillip is sitting on the bed, "Hello."
    Candles are lit and music is playing.
    Lorelei smiles, "Phillip. What is this?"
    He grins, "I thought my wife deserved a little romance today. Just because she is so special."
    She smiles, "You are just to much."
    He pours wine, "Nothing is to much for you."
    She sits next to him, "Thank you."
    He looks at her, "I love you Beth. I always have and I always will. I'm so happy to have you back in my life."
    Lorelei loves hearing this but knows he's not really talking to her.
    She turns away, "So how is all of your planning coming on all of the company stuff?"
    He shakes his head, "Let's not talk about work tonight. It's just you and me Beth."
    She sighs, "Oh Phillip..."
    He kisses her neck, "It's been a while since we last made love. I want tonight to be perfect."
    Lorelei is really not in the mood for all of this.

    A Park:


    Coop and Mary are going for a walk.
    He looks at her, "It's not fair. I just met the most beautiful woman in the world and now I have to leave."
    She laughs, "Well look at the bright side, maybe it will make a good story for you one day."
    He shakes his head, "Sounds like a depressing story. Maybe I can change the ending."
    She smiles, "How would you change it?"
    He laughs, "Okay lets see, we'd spend the whole night talking and getting to know each other. And as it went on each of us would realize how perfect we are for each other."
    She smiles, "Go on."
    He nods, "Then we would look at the time and realize how many hours we spent just getting to know each other and that we had so much little time left together."
    She sighs, "Sounds like a sad ending."
    He nods, "That is where the author has to think of some plot twist. Something would have to happen that would stop us from separating."
    She laughs, "I hope you're creative."
    He smiles, "I would look you in the eyes and tell you that I think you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen and I'd never forgive myself if I let you go now."
    She looks into his eyes, "How would you hold onto me?"
    He laughs, "I don't know!!! I'd drive you to Las Vegas and marry you right on the spot."
    The two pause and look at each other.
    Mary grins, "Henry Bradshaw did you just propose to me?"
    The two look into each other's eyes.

    PART TWO:



    Beacon:

    Blake got a room.
    She brings her lap top into the room with her.
    She decides to work more on her next novel.
    She tried writing in the Carriage House but something just didn't feel right there.
    She looks around, "This is the room. The room where we lived when we first... that night. A year and a half ago. That look in your eyes, it was a while since someone looked at me like that."
    That first night in the shower has been on her mind a lot lately.
    Blake opens her lap top.
    She sits back.
    Blake remembers how complicated her books make things.
    The last one caused problems for Gus and Harley's marriage.
    Blake nods, "Remy, you aren't going to be happy when this comes out. But this is a story that needs to be told. People think all we had was sex but it was so much more. And you need to be reminded of it. And you will be. You'll remember."
    Blake begins typing the next chapter.

    Spaulding Mansion:
    Lorelei is on the bed with Phillip.
    He is kissing her.
    She is enjoying it at first.
    He moans, "I love you Beth."
    She pushes him away, "Oh, um, where is Penelope?"
    He sits up, "She's with the Nanny isn't she?"
    She nods, "That's right. I'm sorry."
    He sighs, "It's nice to have our alone time right now. Away from the kids you know?"
    She nods, "Oh yes. We certainly need a break."
    Phillip smiles, "It's nice to just have these moment together. My God you are beautiful."
    She looks at him, "You are so handsome."
    The two kiss.
    Phillip lays her down on the bed.
    The two are kissing passionately.
    Phillip takes off his shirt.
    Lorelei stares at his body.
    Phillip kisses her.
    He starts to undress her.
    She gets lost in his eyes.
    Suddenly she hears his words, "Oh Beth..."
    She jumps up, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry I don't feel well."
    Lorelei runs into the bathroom.
    A disappointed Phillip sits alone on the bed.

    Cross Creek:


    Ed and Rick are talking.
    Bill walks back in.
    Ed turns to him, "Hey Bill, we were just discussing the barbecue for next year. You're gonna be a Bauer."
    He smiles, "That's right! Do I get a shot at that grill?"
    Rick laughs, "Oh my boy you have to go through the training. You can't just jump into it. We gotta teach you how to make a good Bauer Burger."
    Bill laughs, "Well I look forward to it."

    Josh smiles, "Well I'm very happy that the Lewises and the Bauers will now be family. We are honored to be a part of your family and to have you all a part of ours."
    Ed smiles, "Same here Josh."
    Rick looks at Bill, "Who would have imagined this? I remember you, Michelle, and Ben as kids. Now look at you and Michelle. You're getting married to each other."
    Bill sighs, "I just wish Ben could be there."
    Josh looks at him, "He will."
    Shayne makes another toast, "I wish you so much luck. Not that you need it. You and Michelle have so much happiness to look forward to and you deserve it. No one will ruin it."

    Bauer Home:
    Michelle and Jesse are still standing outside.
    Jesse looks at her, "You are going to be the most beautiful bride that has ever been."
    She shakes her head, "Well thanks but I am sure there have been much prettier brides."
    He shakes his head, "No. You're it. You look like an angel Michelle. And it's perfect."
    She sighs, "This isn't even how I'm going to looks on my wedding day. The whole thing isn't done."
    He picks some flowers out of the garden, "Here take these."
    She holds them, "Why?"
    He looks at her, "Now you look like a real bride."
    Michelle faces Jesse while wearing her wedding dress with the flowers in her hands.
    She turns away, "We shouldn't do this."
    He sighs, "Do what?"
    She has tears in her eyes, "Please stop."
    He sighs, "Michelle I'm not doing anything! I didn't drag you out here and I'm not making you stay."
    Michelle sighs, "Marrying Bill is right. It's what I'm supposed to do. It's what Danny would want me to do."
    Jesse nods, "I hope you're right. All I want is for you to be happy."
    He walks away.
    She shouts to him, "You said you were going to stay away from me."
    He sighs, "I'm trying. But something keeps pulling us together."
    Jesse leaves.
    Michelle wipes her tears and goes back inside.

    Harley's House:
    Cyrus walks downstairs with some stuff packed.
    Lucy looks at him, "I hope you're good at what you do."
    Cyrus looks at her, "I can't believe what you're doing to me."
    She sighs, "I'm not doing it to you. I'm doing it for Marina. I am doing all of this for her."
    Cyrus shakes his head, "I hope she can find it in her heart to forgive you. It's messed up keeping this all from her."
    Lucy nods, "Don't worry about it."
    He looks at her, "Now what do I tell Harley?"
    Lucy hands him a pen and paper, "I'm ready. Just right her a note then you can go."
    He scoffs, "A note? Are you serious?"
    She nods, "Tell her that you had to go take care of something urgent. You'll explain when you get back."
    He shakes his head, "No what if she moves on?"
    Lucy sighs, "Then I guess you two weren't meant to be."
    Cyrus stares at her, "Do you get some joy out of controlling people's lives?"
    She shakes her head, "No. But I have to do what's best for the people I love. Now write your note."
    Cyrus writes his note.
    It's a long one.
    He explains that he has an emergency but urges her to wait for him.
    He loves her.
    Cyrus grabs his stuff.
    Lucy walks him out.

    A Park:
    Mary is standing with Coop.
    Mary is confused, "Henry we just met. How can you even think of jumping into something."
    He laughs, "I have no idea. I don't do these things. I'm not the big crazy, wild, adventurous type. I only write about amazing love stories with passion and excitement, now I want to live it."
    Mary smiles, "But what if I'm not the woman you are thinking I am."
    He sighs, "Okay fine, tell me who you are and I'll see if you are the woman I think you are."
    She sighs, "Henry... fine I'm a librarian. And-"
    He stops her, "No. Tell me who you are."
    She sighs, "I have had love before. Love that I had to give up on. And I regretted it and it took me years to move on. But I've learned that change can help. It can help you grow, learn, and discover who you really are underneath the surface. And with literature I've discovered this whole universe I never knew existed."
    Coop smiles, "I've searched for love. And every time I think I find it everything falls a part. I find so much happiness in my teaching. I love helping others understand and finding their own potential. And I love writing. It takes me to this whole other universe. I love the characters, the stories, the twists, the endings."
    Mary has tears in her eyes, "I've always wanted a happy ending."
    He smiles, "So have I."
    The two kiss.
    Coop takes her hand and they run off.

    Destiny is confusing to the people of Springfield...


    Church:


    Michelle and Bill's wedding.
    Michelle and her ladies are getting ready.
    Vanessa and Dinah are sitting together.
    Vanessa smiles, "I'm so happy for you brother. He really deserves this. Don't you think?"
    Dinah sighs, "I will be respectful because this is Bill's day but I really don't want to talk to you."
    Vanessa sighs, "Mallet will be home soon. But you need to realize that your family should be your number one priority."
    Dinah gets ready to respond but Marah walks out.

    Marah smiles, "Ladies, here is the bride."
    Michelle walks out in her dress with her hair done, "Hey."
    Vanessa stands up, "Oh Darling. You look absolutely beautiful. You look incredible."
    Michelle smiles, "Thank you Vanessa."
    Dinah stands, "My brother is a lucky man."
    Michelle nods, "And I'm a lucky woman."
    Vanessa nods, "Yes. You two are going to have a perfect day and it will be everything you imagined."
    Michelle turns and looks in the mirror, "Everything is going to go the way it is supposed to."



    Beacon:


    Emma is in her dress.
    Olivia walks over, "You look beautiful honey."
    Emma sighs, "We should get going so we aren't late."
    Olivia nods, "Okay I'll get my purse and then I'll drop you off there. Do you have your cell phone?"
    Emma sighs, "Are you sure you don't want to come?"
    Olivia nods, "Yes baby. But don't worry. You are going to have fun. Michelle is a nice woman and she'll make Daddy happy."
    Emma looks down, "I like Michelle. But a part of me wishes you and Dad were getting married today."
    Olivia sighs, "Oh honey..."
    There is a knock on the door.
    Olivia goes to answer.
    To gentleman are standing there.
    She looks at them, "Can I help you."
    The first man looks at her, "Olivia Spencer?"
    She nods, "That's me."
    He looks at her, "We're with immigration, you're going to have to come with us."
    Olivia scoffs, "What no."
    They nod, "You need to come with us."
    She shakes her head, "I have my daughter with me."
    The man sighs, "She can come with us. We'll contact the girls father when we get to the station."
    Emma is worried, "Mommy?"
    Olivia sighs, "It's going to be fine sweetheart."
    They all leave together.



    Spaulding Mansion:


    Phillip is talking with a few of the staff at the house.
    Annie walks up to him, "What are you up to now Phillip?"
    He turns to her, "Is something wrong Annie?"
    She nods, "Rumor is that you are planning something against my good friend Olivia."
    He shakes his head, "I'm fighting for custody of my daughter but I'm not planning anything."
    Annie nods, "Okay, I'm sure. You're a Spaulding Phillip. I know how you all work."
    Phillip shakes his head, "I have no idea what you're talking about Annie. I didn't do anything."
    Annie looks at the staff, "You'll see. He says nothings going on but I'm sure before we know it something bad is going to happen to Olivia and we will all know who's fault it is."
    Phillip sighs, "Annie, Olivia is fine. What is all of this about? I haven't done anything."
    Annie nods, "Come on Phillip. We all know you would do anything to have your daughter back."
    He sighs, "Of course."
    She shakes her head, "Anything?"
    Annie walks away very proud of the ideas she's planting in people's heads.

    Church:


    Bill is getting himself together.
    Shayne walks over, "Are you nervous?"
    Bill shakes his head, "No. Today I am marrying Michelle Bauer. The woman I've been best friends with my whole life."
    Shayne nods, "Well you're much more than friends now right?"
    Bill hesitates, "Yeah, of course."

    Ed and Rick walk in.
    Rick smiles, "There's my soon to be brother in law. How are you doing Bill? Nervous?"
    Bill shakes his head, "No."
    Ed smiles, "My daughter is very excited. You two deserve to have the perfect wedding."
    Shayne looks at them, "Hey have you guys seen my Dad and Uncle Billy?"
    Rick nods, "I think so..."
    The three of them walk out of the room.
    Bill's phone rings.
    He answer's, "Hello?... Emma.... Emma baby slow down what's going on?.... Oh God.... Okay Emma don't worry, Daddy is going to fix this okay?... I'm on my way."
    Bill sits his phone down and writes a note then leaves it on the table.
    Bill quickly grabs his car keys and runs out the door, without noticing he left his phone.
    The door sends a small wind, blowing the note to the floor.



    Park:


    Gus is going for a walk.
    After a while he sits on the bench.
    He has a lot on his mind.
    Susan and he can't be together anymore.
    Olivia doesn't want to see him again.
    Harley is furious with him.
    Gus feels completely alone.
    He talks to himself, "You screwed up big time. You never should have broke up with Harley in the first place. Then none of this ever would have happened in the first place."
    Gus is trying to let go.
    He knows it is time to move on.
    He is having trouble excepting that it may be over with Harley.
    She will always be the love of his life.

    A young woman is walking by.
    She stops and looks at him, "Well look at this depressing little man right here."
    He looks up, "Well aren't you peachy?"
    She laughs, "Sorry but you are moping in the park. You're kind of asking for it."
    He nods, "Well my life isn't going the way I planned."
    She laughs, "Who's is?"
    He nods, "Good point."
    She sits next to him, "No offense buddy, but you're being a baby."
    Gus is very amused by her.

    Vegas:


    At a nice hotel.
    Inside a honeymoon suite.
    Henry Cooper Bradshaw wakes up in his bed.
    He thinks to himself if it was just a dream.
    He looks to see Mary opening her eyes.
    He smiles, "Good morning."
    She grins, "I was afraid this was all a dream."
    He laughs, "So was I. I mean I never do anything like this."
    She laughs, "I hope not."
    He nods, "No. I mean I am not a spontaneous person. I wasn't even sure if I believed in love at first sight. I thought it was something silly my Dad used to talk about with my Mom."
    She looks at him, "You really seem to miss her."
    He nods, "I do."
    She sighs, "My parents are both dead. I miss them. But I have to believe that they are still with me."
    Coop smiles, "You think they would like me?"
    She grins, "If you made me happy. What about you? Do you think you're family will like me?"
    He nods, "How could they not?"
    She grins, "Well I'm excited. I know it's going to be a lot to explain to people though."
    Coop nods, "Yes. A lot of stuff to explain. But I think that when they see how much we love each other, they will be more than happy for us. Trust me they'll like you."
    The two kiss.

    PART TWO:

    Park:
    Gus is still sitting on the bench next to the woman.
    He looks at her, "You know I don't think I've seen you around Springfield before."
    She nods, "Well I just got here."
    He nods, "Oh I see. Well if you ever need someone to show you around, just let me know."
    She smiles, "I can show myself around thank you."
    He laughs, "I don't know. It is a very nice town but it can be dangerous sometimes."
    She nods, "And what are you going to do to protect me?"
    He smiles, "Well I'm a cop. That's a start."
    She laughs, "That's nice. Well, I guess I got your number already then. So we're good."
    Gus looks at her, "Well if you ever want my personal number...'
    She shakes her head, "I don't know how long I'm going to be here. It might not be for long."
    Gus nods, "What are you in town for?"
    She sighs, "Well there's a few things I need to take care of. But today I'm hoping to make it to a wedding."
    Gus looks at her, "A friend?"
    She nods, "Something like that."

    Church:
    Michelle is getting herself together.
    She looks at the clock, "Okay just in time.
    Michelle goes to the door.
    Ed walks in, "Hey."
    She smiles, "Hi Daddy."
    He grins, "You look lovely. Your mother would love to see you like this Michelle."
    She shakes her head, "Don't make me cry Dad."
    He kisses her on the cheek, "I love you."
    Marah slowly walks in.
    Michelle smiles, "I'm ready."
    Marah walks over, "Michelle honey, there's a problem."
    Michelle worries, "What?"
    Marah sighs, "Shayne is having an issue with Bill."
    Michelle is confused, "What kind of issue?"
    Marah sighs, "We don't know where he is."
    Michelle is in shock and confusion.

    Spaulding Mansion:


    Annie walks into the living room.
    Alan is sitting down, "Hello Annie."
    Annie grins, "I hope you know that the plan is going perfectly. Olivia is in deep now."
    Alan looks at her, "Already? You haven't even told me what you had planned for her."
    Annie sighs, "Well let's just say I got in contact with immigration and may have pulled some strings."
    Alan grins, "Really? Wow. So are you sure? Is Olivia Spencer really on her way out of the country."
    Annie nods, "She should be."
    Alan laughs, "Perfect. I'm so sick and tired of that woman. Emma will be better off without her."
    Annie nods, "But that's only part one."
    He is confused, "And part two?"
    She sighs, "We need to make sure that everyone is suspecting Phillip. So when everyone finds out what happened to Olivia, all eyes will be on Phillip. And how many mothers would hate him after that?"
    Alan laughs, "You are brilliant Annie."
    She smiles, "Don't I know it."
    The two sit and ponder their next move.


    Police Station:

    Bill runs inside.
    Emma is sitting alone.
    Bill walks up to her, "Baby..."
    She hugs him, "Daddy! Daddy you have to stop them! They are trying to take Mommy away."
    The immigration officer comes over.
    Bill turns to him, "What's going on?"
    He sighs, "Ms. Spencer is going to be deported. And we have been instructed to do it ASAP."
    Bill shakes his head, "No not today. This is all happening way to fast. You guys can't do this."
    He nods, "Sorry it's out of our hands. Now she will eventually be able to try and work this out but for the time being we need to get her back to San Cristobal."
    Emma cries, "No!"
    Bill sighs, "Please don't do this. Look at her daughter. Olivia and Emma are very close you can't separate them."
    He shakes his head, "We can't take her. You are her father, I assume you can take care of her."
    Bill sighs, "God! This isn't right. This is... Phillip."
    Emma is confused, "What?"
    Bill turns to her, "Go sit down honey, I'm going to straighten things out for your Mom."
    Emma goes to sit down.
    Bill looks at him, "This is the Spauldings isn't it? Phillip is trying to get rid of Olivia. I'm not going to let that happen!"
    Bill is furious.

    Vegas:
    Coop and Mary are getting dressed.
    Mary smiles, "I still can't believe we're married."
    Coop grins, "I know! This is crazy."
    She turns to him, "Okay so what's next?"
    He laughs, "Uh... I don't know. We can go meet with my family and introduce you."
    She nods, "Okay. I can stand to go to England."
    He laughs, "Well that will have to wait. My Mom's family lives in England. But my Dad actually lived near Chicago."
    She pauses, "Chicago?"
    He nods, "Yeah. You okay with that?"
    She turns away, "No I just... I'm not really a fan of the windy city you know? Not for me."
    He laughs, "Well that's fine. It's not really in Chicago. It's near Chicago. The town I'm from is Springfield."
    She stands still.
    He looks at her, "You okay?"
    She turns to him, "What did you say?"
    He nods, "Springfield."
    She shakes her head, "No. That's... I can't go there."
    Coop is very confused.

    Church:
    Michelle is standing with Ed and Marah.
    Ed looks at Marah, "Do you have any idea where Bill could be?"
    She shakes her head, "No. Shayne said you guys left to find Billy and Josh. When he got back Bill was gone."
    Michelle isn't saying anything.
    Rick walks in, "It's filling up out there and people are starting to worry. What's going on?"
    Ed sighs, "Bill left."
    Rick is confused, "What do you mean?"
    Marah sighs, "We don't know. But Bill left without telling anyone and we can't get a hold of him."
    Rick is confused, "You call his cell phone?"
    Marah sighs, "He left it."
    Michelle has tears in her eyes, "Bill wouldn't..."
    Ed turns to her, "Honey..."
    Michelle walks away from him.
    Marah tries to hug her but Michelle pulls away.
    Rick sighs, "Sis don't..."
    Michelle goes running out, "No!"
    Michelle is running around the downstairs of the church.
    She sees the backdoor and runs out.
    She looks around, "Bill's car is gone."
    Michelle cries, "Why?"
    She then hears the motorcycle.
    Jesse pulls up in front of the church.
    Michelle stares in shock.

    By JAYJAY,

    An upsetting day for the people of Springfield...



    Church:


    Michelle walks outside.
    She doesn't understand how Bill could leave her on their wedding day.
    Jesse pulls up on his bike.
    Michelle stares at him.
    He parks and walks over to her.
    Michelle looks at him, "What are you doing here?"
    He looks at her, "Why are you standing outside in the cold on your wedding day?"
    She shakes her head, "I'm not to sure that this is going to be my wedding day anymore."
    He is confused, "What?"
    She sighs, "I'm... I don't think Bill and I are going to be getting married today."
    Jesse walks up to her, "Don't say that. It's not to late, just go back in there."
    She shakes her head, "You don't understand."
    He nods, "Michelle look at you. You are the most beautiful, smart, kind, giving, loving, amazing woman in the world. You deserve to be happy with a guy who can make you happy. You should be with the man you love."
    Michelle looks into his eyes.
    After what seemed like an eternity Michelle and Jesse kiss.



    Police Station:


    Bill walks back to Olivia's cell.
    She looks at him, "Bill? Bill what are you doing here? This is your wedding day."
    He nods, "I got a call from Emma. I can't believe this is happening to you. It's not right."
    She nods, "I don't understand how this is happening."
    Bill sighs, "I think I might have a good idea."
    She is confused, "What?"
    He sighs, "This might be something Phillip would do."
    Olivia kicks the bars, "Damn him! Damn him!"
    Bill tries to calm her down, "Everything is going to be okay."
    Olivia shakes her head, "No it's not! Phillip is trying to take me away from Emma."
    Bill looks at her, "I won't let him do that to you. Okay? We are Emma's parents."
    Olivia cries, "She's my little girl. She needs me and I need her. Why is he doing this?"
    Bill sighs, "I had really hoped he was changing."
    She wipes her tears, "He's a Spaulding. They never change. They just calm down a plot for a while."
    He looks at her, "Just relax."
    She looks him in the eyes, "I swear to you Bill. I will kill Phillip Spaulding before I let him take my daughter away from me."
    Bill has no idea how to help his family.


    Spaulding Mansion:


    Alan is still in the living room.
    Alexandra walks over, "Hello."
    He turns, "Well hello Alexandra. I didn't know you were home."
    She nods, "I didn't know you were. But you sure have been spending a lot of time here."
    He smiles, "This will always be my home."
    Alex nods, "What about your house? The one that you and Natalia shared?"
    He scoffs, "Drop it Alexandra."
    She sits by him, "Alan, you can't keep changing the subject. I know you miss Natalia and Baby Alan."
    Alan nods, "I miss my son."
    Alex sighs, "And Natalia."
    Alan looks at her, "Natalia abandoned me."
    Alex shakes her head, "She couldn't deal with you. Because she saw the path you were going down. I'm not surprised by it. But I have a feeling she will be back."
    Alan sighs, "Well I know I'll get my son back. I don't know if she will be with him."
    Alex nods, "Well I promise you one thing, it will be over my dead body before any man in this family takes a child away from it's mother again. Remember that Alan."
    He scoffs, "How dare you take her side."
    She she shakes her head, "I'm not. I'm on your side. Natalia brought out a side in you I hadn't seen since we were young. You told us she was the love of your life."
    He sighs, "Well she's gone now."
    Alex looks at him, "Just remember, Natalia will be back Alan. And when she is you are going to have to finally choose between her and this life you are throwing yourself back into."
    Alex walks out of the room leaving Alan to think.

    Church:
    Jesse and Michelle are kissing outside.
    Jesse has his arms around her, "Oh Michelle."
    She smiles, "I can't belive I've been fighting this. I've been fighting this ever since you came back to the Barbecue on your motorcycle. It was all leading up to this moment."
    He looks into her eyes, "I tried to push you away. I didn't want you to be forced to me. I wanted you to come to me on your own. Without someone else leading you to me."
    She smiles, "Everything happens for a reason Jesse. I know I didn't think so before but now I really think that Danny would want me to be with you for the rest of my life."
    Jesse looks at her, "Michelle do you really mean that? Do you really think I'm worthy of that?"
    She nods, "You are Jesse."
    The two kiss again.
    Jesse smiles, "I'm so happy Michelle."
    Michelle wipes her tears, "Bill not showing up was a huge blessing in disguise. This almost didn't happen."
    He pulls away, "What?"
    She looks at him, "Bill left the wedding before it began. I was upset but now I know it wasn't meant to be."
    Jesse steps away, "So when you came out here.... you weren't looking for me? You were looking for Bill."
    Michelle realizes she just upset Jesse.



    Park:


    Gus is still on the bench.
    The woman he just met is sitting by him.
    Gus looks at her, "So what are you in town for?"
    She sighs, "A few things. A wedding today."
    He nods, "A friend?"
    She looks at him, "Something like that."
    He sits back, "It wouldn't be the wedding for Bill Lewis and Michelle Bauer would it?"
    She turns to him, "Yes. Do you know them?"
    He nods, "Yeah I know them. Their good people. Are you a friend of the bride or the groom."
    She turns away, "It's complicated."
    He is confused, "You seem like a woman of mystery."
    She laughs, "Well that's because we don't know each other. I know you're a cop, you're handsome, you're lonely, you think you're funny, you have nothing better to do than sit on a bench and talk to strangers."
    He smiles, "So I'm handsome?"
    She laughs with him.
    Gus is taking his mind off his problems.


    Vegas:


    Mary is getting dressed quickly.
    Coop looks at her, "Wait what is going on?"
    She sighs, "This was all a mistake. We just met each other. I can't believe we did this."
    He shakes his head, "No. A second ago you were just telling me how happy you were and how you thought it was so great and perfect. Now you're changing your story."
    She sighs, "It just hit me Henry. Okay, we met the other day and now we are husband and wife. This was a fun idea but we can't be married to each other. No."
    He shakes his head, "Why did you get so upset when I brought up Springfield? What was that?"
    She turns to him, "I don't know what you're talking about."
    He nods, "Yes you do. You were all excited to go with me before that. But when you heard Springfield something changed."
    She shakes her head, "No. You don't get it. I've never been to 'Springfield'. I just don't do these things. I'm a librarian. I don't go on wild crazy adventures."
    He takes her hand, "And neither did I before you."
    She looks down, "I..."
    He stops her, "No. Look at me. Look at me and tell me that you think this was a mistake."
    She looks into his eyes, "It wasn't a mistake. But I can't go to Springfield with you."
    Coop is so confused by her.

    PART TWO:

    Spaulding Mansion:


    Annie is in the study.
    Alexandra walks in, "We need to talk."
    Annie looks up, "Well Alexandra what a nice surprise."
    She nods, "I bet. I'm onto you Annie."
    Annie laughs, "Let's not get over dramatic."
    Alex shakes her head, "Don't play your games with me. You can play them with your girlfriends, with Alan, Phillip, Lizzie, but you can't play those games with me."
    Annie sits back, "What is your problem now Alex?"
    Alexandra looks at her, "I must say you've done well for yourself. You proved to everyone what you're capable of. And as a fellow woman I admire that you did it all without a man's help. But it is not going to last Annie. Believe me."
    Annie sighs, "I know you are upset. But that is no reason to come make threats at me."
    Alex shakes her head, "I'm not going to do anything to you Annie. I don't have the time. Plus there's no point. You don't need me, you're going to ruin everything all on your own."
    Annie looks back down, "We're done here."
    Alex nods, "I've seen a lot of people in that chair. It doesn't last. You have all the right plans and strategies but there is always one thing that causes your default. Your ego. It will be the very thing that takes everything away from you."
    Annie looks at her, "Goodbye Alex."
    Alex nods, "Yes. Good luck Annie. You'll need it."
    Annie won't allow herself to get nervous.

    Park:
    Gus and his new friend are sitting on the bench.
    He smiles, "You know I still haven't gotten your name."
    She nods, "I know. Weird."
    He laughs, "Can I get it?"
    She shakes her head, "No. I'm keeping a low profile right now?"
    He looks at her, "You in legal trouble?"
    She shakes her head, "Nope. Don't worry about me buddy."
    He laughs, "I'll try."
    She looks at her, "Watch I have to get going. It was nice chatting with you for a while."
    He nods, "I agree. I enjoyed it."
    She gets up, "Well goodbye."
    Gus looks at her, "Wait. How about your number?"
    She laughs, "If I didn't give you my name why do you think you would get my number?"
    He sighs, "How will I ask you out?"
    She shakes her head, "I got to much to take care of now. But if it is meant to be, then when I'm ready you'll be there."
    She walks away leaving Gus with a big smile.

    Church:
    Jesse is walking away from Michelle.
    She walks over to him, "What is wrong?"
    He turns to her, "You told me that you chose me. That I was the guy you picked."
    She nods, "I did! That's why I'm here."
    He shakes his head, "No! You're here because Bill left you at the alter. Can you honestly tell me that if he had stayed that you would be here with me right now?"
    She shakes her head, "No, but..."
    He nods, "Would you have married him?"
    Michelle is crying again, "Yes!"
    Jesse heads for his bike.
    Michelle chases him, "Jesse wait!"
    He turns to her, "Stop! I'm not doing this. I wanted to be the guy you chose. Not your consolation prize!"
    She shakes her head, "No! You could never be my consolation prize."
    He sighs, "It was one thing competing with the love you had with Danny. But Bill... I'm not even going to get in the middle of that."
    Jesse gets on his bike.
    Michelle cries, "Jesse please!"
    Jesse drives off.
    Michelle pulls herself together and goes back inside to get her things and leave.

    Police Station:
    Bill walks out to see Emma.
    Emma jumps up, "Daddy! Did you take care of Mom?"
    Bill sighs, "I'm sorry..."
    She shouts, "No!"
    He hugs her, "Today we can't do anything but I'm going to bring your Mom home soon I promise."
    Olivia is being walked out of her cell.
    She is trying to hold it together for Emma.
    They are taking her to the airport.
    Emma cries, "Mommy!"
    Olivia looks at her, "I love you Emma! I love you so much."
    Emma cries, "No! Mom!"
    Olivia looks at Bill, "Take care of her! Keep her away from the Spauldings Bill. Promise me."
    Bill nods, "I promise. We will get you back Olivia. I promise you that too. You'll be home."
    They walk Olivia out of the station.
    Emma goes running after her, "No you can't take her! You can't take her from me!"
    Bill breaks down crying as he holds his emotional daughter back.

    Vegas:
    Coop and Mary are hugging.
    Mary looks at him, "I'm so sorry. But I can't go to Springfield with you. I'm sorry."
    He sighs, "Why? If we are so great together then why?"
    She shakes her head, "We knew that getting married wouldn't stop us from being separated. All it did was keep us together a little longer. But we live in different places."
    He nods, "Then I'll move to be with you. Okay? I just can't be away from you. I have fallen for you."
    She stares at him, "You would really move away from your home just to be with me?"
    He nods, "If it meant that I was going to be with you, then I would live anywhere."
    She wipes a tear, "I've never had a man who made me feel this way. At least not quite like this."
    He nods, "I know exactly what you mean. I thought I had experienced love before but..."
    She looks away.
    He sighs, "Let's go out for breakfast! I'm going to get ready. I'll be right back."
    Coop runs into the bathroom.
    Mary feels horrible but she has to take this chance.
    She throws all of her stuff into her bag.
    She runs out the door.

    Church:


    Ed and Rick are sitting on a bench inside.
    Michelle walks over, "Hi."
    Rick sighs, "We sent the guests home for you. I'm so sorry Michelle. I'm so sorry."
    Michelle nods, "I know."
    Ed sighs, "Do you want us to wait and see if Bill shows up?"
    She shakes her head, "You can but I have to go."
    Rick looks at her, "We'll drive you home."
    She shakes her head, "No. I don't want the kids to see me like this. I just need sometime to think I'll call you."
    Ed sighs, "Are you sure?"
    She hugs him, "Yes thank you."
    Michelle leaves.
    Ed and Rick go downstairs to clean up.
    Outside the mysterious woman who was talking to Gus is watching.
    She can tell the wedding won't be happening today and she leaves.
    Later Bill pulls up in his car.
    He just dropped Emma off at home.
    He runs into the church.
    It is completely empty now.
    He shouts, "Michelle!?! No! Michelle!"
    Bill missed his wedding completely.
    He is to late.

  9. JAYJAY
    Sunset

    It's morning in West Hollywood.
    The stores are filled.
    Streets are busy.
    And spirits seem high at 4616 Melrose Place.



    Courtyard:


    Ella Simms lies in her pool chair next to her new roommate Chase floating beside her.
    Ella sips her drink, "What did people do outside before pools?"
    Chase sighs, "I don't know and I don't care."
    Ella lifts up her sunglasses, "Obviously it wasn't to watch roommates hooking up a few feet away."

    David and Lauren are holding each other and kissing in the pool.
    Ella splashes water at them with her foot, "Hey! Take it inside."
    David splashes her back, "Jealous?"
    Ella laughs, "Jealous? Of what the fact that you took my best friend off to stole my roommate?"
    Lauren smiles, "Aww El, you miss me?"
    Ella sighs, "I did. Until I met Chase at the gym. He is by far the future of acting in Hollywood."
    Chase nods, "I complimented her outfit and we became fast friends."
    Ella nods, "Gay men have good taste."

    Drew and Riley walk over holding hands.
    Drew nods, "Hey straight men have good taste too. I for one have good taste in women."
    Drew kisses Riley.
    Ella rolls her eyes.
    Chase smiles, "You are adorable."
    Ella splashes him.
    He looks at her, "What?"
    She lays back in her chair.
    David looks at Drew, "So how is the job search going? Post-ULA."
    Drew sighs, "Uh. I'm taking it easy right now. Riley's been great."
    David nods, "Well if you ever want a job at Coal just let me know."
    Drew nods, "Thanks man."
    Riley and Lauren stare at each other.
    Drew turns away, "I forgot something in the apartment I'll be right back."
    Riley follows him.
    The neighbors proceed to enjoy the pool.

    Apartment 7:
    Riley and Drew walk back into their apartment.
    Drew sighs, "I feel like such a loser."
    Riley shakes her head, "Why?"
    He scoffs, "Why? Maybe because I'm living off you right now. My medical career is over thanks to Michael Mancini. And I look like a pathetic excuse for a man."
    Riley sighs, "If they knew you were sick-"
    Drew shakes his head, "It would make me feel worse."
    She takes his hands, "What happened to the guy I know? The guy who didn't give a damn what other people thought about him. The guy I fell in love with."
    Drew smiles at her, "I know."
    She kisses him, "I do love you Drew."
    He grins, "I love you too. I was really hoping you'd just walk away when I told you I was dying. But you stood by me and I love you for that."
    Riley stares, "I'm with you. You're everything to me."
    The two hug.
    He sighs, "You're everything to me too."
    She sighs, "Just promise me that you aren't giving up."
    He shakes his head, "Never. Never."
    Riley wipes her tears, "Good. Because we are sticking to our plan remember?"
    He nods, "The plan."
    She sighs, "It's going to work. And then everything will start to fall into place."
    Drew runs his fingers through her hair, "I just don't want you getting your hopes up-"
    She moves his hand, "Well I am. Because I know you're going to get through this."
    He looks down.
    She nudges his head back up.
    The two smile at each other.
    She takes his hand, "Let's go back outside."
    Riley and Drew stop in the doorway.
    They see Jonah walking to the courtyard.








    Courtyard:
    Jonah Miller walks up to the courtyard.
    His neighbors all look at him.
    Ella smirks, "Ladies and gentleman Jonah Miller."
    Everyone applauds.
    Jonah laughs, "Enough. Thank you."
    David smiles, "How you been buddy? I was beginning to think you were never coming back."
    Jonah scoffs, "You kidding me? I mean I loved the shooting process. I worked with and met some of the most amazing people you could imagine. But going to an empty hotel room? No. This is home."
    Lauren grins, "Good to have you back Jonah."
    Riley and Drew walk over holding hands.
    Riley smiles, "Congratulations."
    Jonah looks at her, "Hey Riles."
    Drew nods, "Congrats Jonah. I can't wait for the movie to come out."
    Jonah grins, "Well you are all coming to the premiere."
    Ella nods, "Well I already knew that I was going. I am the woman that made this happen for you. So I expect a HUGE thank you in your acceptance speeches."
    Jonah looks at her, "Of course El."
    Ella sips her drink, "Oh. Let me introduce you to someone who will be starring in one of your future films I'm sure. Chase Matthews."
    Jonah looks at him, "Nice to meet you. You're an actor?"
    Chase nods, "Right now I'm a Daytime Hunk. But eventually I hope to move to film."
    Ella grins, "As long as he sticks with me he'll be the next big star. And as long as he doesn't do anything to piss me off. He is my new roommate."
    Jonah looks around, "Oh really?"
    Lauren smiles, "Yep. I moved in with David."
    Jonah grins, "Congratulations. That's great man!"
    David looks at him as he gets out of the pool, "Thanks man. I'm the luckiest guy in the world."
    David goes to dry off.
    He looks at the missed calls.
    Lauren looks over at him, "You okay?"
    David sighs, "Uh I gotta get to Coal. But I'll text you later Babe. Welcome back Jonah."
    David pats Jonah on the back as he heads up to his apartment.
    Lauren looks at her neighbors, "Well I would love to stay in the pool all day. But I have rounds to get to."
    Ella winces, "Ooh. Sorry Drew I imagine that's quite awkward for you to hear?"
    Riley rolls her eyes, "Ella-"
    Drew laughs it off.
    Lauren dries off and leaves.

    Coal:
    David walks inside.
    The hostess greets him, "Hello Mr. Breck."
    He smiles, "I know you're new. But you gotta get used to calling me David."
    She smiles, "Sorry David. But Mr. McKellan is waiting for you at his usual table."
    David nods, "Yes. Thank you."
    David nervously walks over to the table.

    Mr. McKellan smiles, "Breck."
    David sits, "McKellan."
    McKellan looks at him, "I don't like it when people don't return my calls soon enough. Think about that next time you leave your phone lying around."
    David sighs, "I'm sorry okay."
    McKellan slides a photo of a mansion to him.
    David takes it.
    McKellan stares at him, "That's the place. The painting your looking for isn't nearly as expensive as the last one but it's up there. I need it in 24 hours."
    David scoffs, "Excuse me?"
    He nods, "Oh you heard me."
    David shakes his head, "No. My girlfriend worked hard to get the rest of the night off so that we could spend some quality time at home."
    McKellan nods, "That's right. Your girlfriend. Dr. Lauren Yung. She stopped to get coffee on her way to work earlier. I'm surprised you haven't bought her a nicer car yet."
    David stares at him.
    McKellan stares, "Don't forget who you're talking to David."
    David stands up, "24 hours. Consider it done."
    David walks out.



    ULA:


    Lauren walks down the hall of the hospital.
    Dr. Michael Mancini walks past her.
    She follows him, "Dr. Mancini."
    He keeps walking, "Dr. Yung. Keeping busy I hope."
    She nods, "Of course."
    He looks at her, "Obviously you're not that busy if you have time to chit chat with me. You need to start organizing your priorities together or you'll never make it in this field."
    She sighs, "Well one of them is worrying about my teacher."
    He shakes his head, "I'm fine Yung."
    She looks at him, "Are they investigating your heart valve?"
    He stops.
    Michael pulls her aside.
    He looks around and then stares at her, "I am not in the mood to talk about that situation with you Dr. Yung. Especially after that little stunt you pulled."
    She sighs, "I'm sorry Sir. That was a moment of weakness as I told you before."
    He scoffs, "Yeah. I still don't buy it."
    She sighs, "I bought into Dr. Pragin's lies. Obviously when he found out that his heart wasn't responding well to the valve he began making up excuses and pin pointing you."
    Michael nods, "Couldn't have said it better myself."
    She looks at him, "You have been very professional at work and I thank you for that."
    He nods, "I'm a professional man, despite what you hear from Dr. Pragin or my son."
    She sighs, "Of course. And if you need me to keep an eye on Drew as well as David I would be happy to. Anything to help you relax and do your job."
    He looks at her, "Sure. I'll take you up on that."
    Michael walks away.

    Apartment 7:
    Drew is in the shower.
    Riley sits in her living room.
    There is a knock at the door.
    She walks over and answers the door.
    Jonah stands outside, "Hey."
    She smiles, "Hi. What's up?"
    He nods, "Not much. Just got back from filming..."
    She looks at him, "Yeah I know Jonah."
    He shakes his head, "Yeah sorry I'm nervous."
    She laughs, "Jonah. We lived together for years. You're one of my best friends. We used to be engaged. How can you be nervous around me?"
    He sighs, "We haven't really talked since I came over and professed my love to you only to be turned down. Followed by me getting dumped by Ella."
    Riley stares, "Did you really think Ella would stay with you after you tried to get back together with me?"
    He shakes his head, "No. But I'm hoping Ella and I can still be friends just like I'm hoping you and I are still friends. Are we really?"
    She nods, "Of course. I'm happy with Drew and I hope you can find happiness too."
    Jonah nods, "Thanks. I really appreciate that Riles. And honestly I hope you're happy with this guy too."
    She laughs, "Drew."
    Jonah nods, "Yep. Drew. Dr. Drew."
    She stares.
    He sighs, "I gotta get to my place. Have a good day."
    She nods, "Yeah you too."
    Jonah walks away.
    Riley shuts the door.



    WPK:
    Ella sits in her glass office.
    There is a knock at her door.
    She looks and sees Chase.
    She waves him in.
    He walks in with coffee, "I thought I would surprise my favorite roommate."
    Ella grins, "Ooh very nice. Lauren never surprised me at work like this. But then again doctors rarely had free time unlike struggling actors."
    He scoffs, "I'm not struggling."
    Ella looks at him, "Not for long. WPK is the best firm in LA."
    He sits down.
    She sits back in her chair, "Yep P and K are raving about what a great job I'm doing. It's just the big fat W I'm worried about. Amanda probably wants my head on a stick."
    Chase sighs, "This Amanda sure sounds scary the way you talk about her."
    Ella nods, "Well she was the reason I became a publicist. She was my mentor. Then what does she do? She turns out to be a criminal and tries to frame me."
    He looks at her, "But you got the last laugh."
    Ella grins, "I did. It was fun seeing her walked out of here in handcuffs, in front of all her employees I remind you. That earned me some respect around here."
    Chase nods, "But..."
    She sighs, "Amanda declared war on me. And I know her history... if she gets out then I'm screwed. There is no way I can hold onto the company and handle the wrath of Amanda Woodward."
    Chase jumps up, "Well tonight I'm going to be a good gay roommate and drag you to a gay club."
    She shakes her head, "I don't know Chase I need to get to the gym-"
    He stops her, "No. I won't take no for an answer."
    She grins, "Ooh I taught you well. You sure you're not a little bi?"
    He smirks, "Not even a little."
    She sighs, "Oh well."
    He looks at her, "There is this great one on Sunset. We'll stop there after work."
    Chase leaves.
    Ella sits up in her chair and gets back to work.

    Apartment 6:
    Jonah is in his apartment getting settled back in.
    He starts to notice some of his stuff has been moved around.
    He gets suspicious.
    Jonah begins looking to see if anything is missing.
    Everything seems to be in place.
    Jonah's phone rings.
    He answers, "Jonah Miller-.... what? Oh come on the studio can't keep making changes... I don't care what the... Okay fine. Just call me later and let me know what's up? Okay? Thanks."
    Jonah hangs up.
    He plops down on the couch.

    LA begins to get dark as the night sets in.

    Apartment 7:
    Riley is sitting on the couch.
    Drew walks over to her shirtless.
    She looks at him, "Don't you need to get dressed eventually?"
    He laughs, "I figured I'd do you a favor and put it off a bit."
    She laughs.
    Drew walks over and leans down.
    The two begin to kiss.
    She starts to undo his belt.
    There is a knock on the door.
    He rolls his eyes, "Way to block."
    Riley laughs, "Be right back."
    Drew sits on the couch.
    Riley answers the door.
    Lauren walks in.
    Riley smiles, "Hey Laur. How was work?"
    Lauren nods, "Good. Dr. Mancini is trusting me now. He thinks I've sold you down the river and I promised to fill him in on everything you guys are up to now."
    Drew looks at her, "That's awesome."
    Lauren sighs, "Unfortunately that still doesn't mean I'm going to get enough information anytime soon. I mean it'll take forever to get confessions about the heart valve."
    Drew looks at her, "Listen that heart valve is leaking toxic chemicals. People like me are getting it and not knowing the risks. I don't want them to end up like me on their death-"
    Drew turns away.
    Riley rubs his back, "You aren't going to die Drew. We are going to get proof and once we do we can help find a way to reverse the damage."
    He nods, "Yeah maybe."
    Lauren sighs, "I'm not giving up. I just hate lying to David. After he quit stealing and I quit... my situation, we promised that we would have no more secrets."
    Lauren looks at her two friends.

    Beverly Hills Mansion:
    The residents have left for the evening.
    David walks up the street.
    His car is parked down the block.
    He walks up to the security system.
    He types in the code he bought off from the maids.
    David gets past the security system with ease.
    He walks in and shines his flashlight around.
    His phone vibrates.
    David sighs.
    He answers with frustration, "What? You know I can't do a very good job of not getting caught if you're hassling me every second I make a move in this place... I'll call you when I get out."
    David hangs up the phone.
    He wipes the sweat off his forehead.
    He shines his light and sees the painting across the room.
    He walks over to it.
    David shakes his head.
    He grabs his knife from his pocket.
    David cuts the painting from the frame.
    He quickly makes his escape.



    Akbar:
    Chase and Ella walks into one of LA's hottest gay night clubs.
    Chase smiles, "See. I told you."
    Ella looks around, "I don't know. I gotta say watching strong men dance around in speedos is a treat. But I feel like I'm cheating on Coal."
    Chase laughs, "We always go to Coal."
    Ella nods, "I know. I'm just saying maybe David could change his scenery a bit."
    Chase laughs.
    The two grab drinks.
    A cute guy dancing waves at Chase.
    Chase grins, "I'll be right back."
    Ella scoffs, "No you won't."
    He looks at her, "Come on. Have fun. Do something I wouldn't expect. I feel like I know everything about you."
    She shakes her head, "Not everything."
    Chase walks away.

    A woman approaches Ella, "Hi."
    Ella smiles, "Hi."
    She nods, "I'm Ciara."
    Ella looks at her, "Ella."
    Ciara grins, "Have I seen you before?"
    Ella smirks, "I used to hang around these kind of bars a lot when I first came to LA. But it's been a while."
    Ella takes a shot.
    Ciara smiles, "Well maybe we can go talk and you can tell me all about it?"
    Ella nods, "Okay. But just so you know I'm not in the mood to talk."
    Ella takes Ciara's hand and the two walk away together.

    Apartment 9:
    David walks into his apartment.
    He carries the painting and walks towards the closet.
    He takes off his gloves.
    The door opens.
    David turns.
    Lauren walks in, "Hey. When did you sneak in?"
    He stares, "Sneak?"
    She laughs, "I didn't even see you go across the courtyard."
    He looks at her, "You were here?"
    She nods, "Yeah I was in Drew and Riley's. Why?"
    He shakes his head, "I just didn't expect to you to get off this early."
    She grins, "Well I did. How was your day?"
    He walks towards her, "Hell. But it's a lot better now."
    He puts his arms around her.
    The two kiss.
    She smiles, "Well we can't have too much fun yet. We are all going out to the courtyard for drinks. We are celebrating Jonah's homecoming."
    David grins, "Well let everyone else wait a minute."
    The two continue kissing.

    Courtyard:
    Jonah stands by the bar with Drew and Riley.
    The three are waiting alone.
    He looks around, "This isn't too awkward."
    Drew and Riley awkwardly laugh as they look around.
    David and Lauren walk out.
    The three turn and holler, "Hey!"
    Lauren smiles, "Sorry."
    Riley shakes her head, "Just come on down."
    Lauren and David walk downstairs and head over to the bar with their neighbors.
    The 5 of them all stand together.
    Jonah starts pouring drinks.
    A tipsy Chase and Ella stumble into the courtyard.
    Chase laughs, "Come on. Where were you that whole time?"
    Ella laughs, "None of your business. Nosy."
    Jonah looks over, "Hey! You two. Join in."
    They walk over.
    Chase helps pour the drinks.
    Jonah looks at Ella, "Hey. I hope you aren't still upset with me. I know I deserve it. But-"
    She shakes her head, "Please. Don't flatter yourself Jonah. You aren't that hard to get over."
    She pats him on the back.
    He nods, "Thanks."
    Ella laughs, "Well no offense. But I'm Ella Simms. I could have anyone I want."
    Jonah grins, "Nice to see that you're confidence is still high."
    She nods, "I'm on top of the world Jonah. Why wouldn't it be?"

    Women's Correctional Facility:


    Amanda Woodward sits with her attorney.
    He looks at her, "Ms. Woodward I assure you, we are doing everything we can to get you out of here as soon as possible. Just please be patient."
    Amanda shakes her head, "I shouldn't be here in the first place. You're lucky I haven't fired you yet."
    He sighs, "Amanda please-"
    She sits up, "Quite frankly I'm appalled by this entire situation. I have been here long enough, I'm paying you a great deal of money to let me get back to my life."
    He shakes his head, "Money can't buy everything."
    She nods, "Oh yes it can. If you can't make it happen I'll find someone who will."
    He looks at her, "I know it's tough to let go of everything-"
    She scoffs, "Let go of everything? Please. Everything is still in my control, including that little twit that got me into this situation in the first place. Ella Simms and that entire apartment complex are in the palm of my hand and they do not even realize it yet."

    Courtyard:
    The seven neighbors stand together.
    David makes a toast, "To Jonah. In the city where everyone wants to make their dreams come to true, it is awesome to see someone so worthy make it happen."
    Jonah shakes his head, "I want to make another toast, to everyone here at Melrose Place. Like a lot of people in LA we gave up our families to come here to make our dreams come true. And I think it's awesome to have neighbors that become your family. Each one of you is special to me. Even you Drew."
    Everyone laughs.
    Drew smiles.
    Jonah nods, "But seriously, we've all had our share of drama but it's nice to know that we're all past it and can go on to have normal happy lives. To Melrose Place."
    They all toast.
    Drew kisses Riley.
    David kisses Lauren.
    Ella scoffs, "Well this place is getting coupled out. So Chase is going to rub my feet while I take a bath."
    Chase laughs as he follows Ella back to their apartment.
    Lauren looks at David, "That's sounds nice."
    David picks her up, "I have something better in mind for you."
    David carries Lauren back to their apartment upstairs.
    Riley hollers, "Be careful."
    Drew and Riley head back to their apartment.
    She looks at Jonah, "Goodnight Jonah."
    He grins, "Goodnight Riley."
    Jonah walks back to his apartment.
    The neighbors are unaware that they are being watched.
    Someone walks around the pool and over to the bar.
    They knock all of the bottles to the floor.
    The glass shatters everywhere.

  10. JAYJAY
    Flower

    Early morning in LA.
    People are waking up and getting out.
    Ladies are slipping on their Manolo's.
    The busy day in the work world of LA is beginning.



    Courtyard:



    Riley kneels down around the bar.
    She is attempting to pick up the broken glass.
    Drew looks at her, "Be careful. I'm gonna go get something."

    Ella walks out of her apartment and walks over, "Riley? Is it possible that you have gotten even more clumsy then you already are? Impressive."
    Riley smirks, "Good morning Ella. I was wondering if maybe you were responsible for this?"
    Ella scoffs, "Me?"
    Riley stands, "We all saw how wasted you were last night."
    She shakes her head, "I don't get 'wasted' Riley. And I have better things to do then make a mess out here in the courtyard. In case you haven't heard, I'm running WPK."
    Riley stares, "And in case you haven't heard? I don't care."
    Ella looks at her, "See if I could have fun teaching the alphabet to children then I would do that, but I need something more challenging."
    Drew walks out, "Hey now. You two playing nice?"
    Ella smiles, "Why don't you ask the school teacher?"
    Drew looks at her, "It kills me to break up a catfight between two chicks but don't you have to get to work Ella?"
    Riley nods, "See Ella, at least when I come back from my job, I have someone waiting for me."
    Ella gives off a smirk and walks away.
    Drew and Riley kiss.
    As Ella walks out of the courtyard she passes a woman in a tank top and sweats.
    Ella stops and stares at her outfit, "No comment."
    Ella walks away.
    The woman rolls her eyes as she enters Melrose Place.





    WPK:

    Ella arrives at WPK.
    One of her assistants walks up, "Good morning Ms. Simms."
    Ella smiles, "Good morning indeed."
    She nods, "I emailed you about the Jasper Barns situation."
    Ella sighs, "I already emailed you back. You didn't receive a company blackberry so that you could only check emails on the computer."
    She sighs, "I'm so sorry Ms. Simms."
    Ella shakes her head, "Just don't let it happen again or you will be replaced."
    She stares at Ella, "Oh one more thing."
    Ella turns and looks at her, "Yes?"
    She nods, "You have a visitor. And she is demanding to wait outside your office."
    Ella turns and looks up to see Ciara from the night club last night looking back at her.








    Courtyard:
    The woman in sweats walks around the pool.
    She looks at the beautiful building in front of her.
    Riley and Drew finally notice her.
    Riley smiles, "Can I help you?"
    She stares, "I'm looking for the managers of the building."
    Drew nods, "That would be us. Oh are you the new tenant?"
    She nods, "Tricia Owens. I'm moving into Apartment 1."
    Drew nods, "That's my old place. I'll go get the key and I'll be right back."
    Riley walks over, "Welcome to Melrose Place."
    Tricia nods, "Thanks. But I think your Barbie neighbor over there already welcomed me enough for everyone."
    Riley smiles, "Ah well Ella does not speak for the whole building. Don't mind her she spends most of her time at work anyway. A bit of a workaholic."
    Tricia sighs, "I never cared for women like her. Sometimes I think LA is the epitome of everything I despise in this world."
    Riley stares at her, "Oh..."
    Tricia looks around, "It's a nice place."
    Riley nods, "Yeah, Drew and I manage the building since Jane can't be here all the time. She's our second landlord since I've lived here."
    Tricia looks at her, "What happened to the first one?"
    Riley stares, "Uh..."
    Drew walks out, "Got the key."
    Tricia throws out a weak smile.

    Apartment 1:
    Drew and Riley show Tricia the apartment.
    Tricia looks around, "Very nice. Looks bigger than on the virtual tour actually."
    Drew nods, "So you haven't seen it in person yet?"
    Tricia looks at him, "No. I needed to find an apartment before I got here. I signed the papers the second I arrived. I hate hotel rooms."
    Drew stares, "So where you from."
    She nods, "New York."
    Riley smiles, "That's awesome. Jonah and I studied at NYU."
    Tricia stares, "Jonah?"
    Drew looks at Riley.
    Riley nods, "My ex fiance. He lives in Apartment 6. He's a film maker actually. What do you do?"
    Drew smiles as he watches Riley switch subjects.
    Tricia nods, "I'm a trainer. LA is probably one of the best places to work in my business. Hoping to build up a lot of clients in the next few months."
    Drew looks at her, "That's awesome. Well there are a lot of different careers in the building: doctors, school teacher, club owner, publicist, film maker. It's a fun environment."
    Tricia nods, "Of course. Well thanks for letting me in. I'd like to get settled in now if you don't mind."
    Drew nods, "Oh of course."
    Riley smiles, "If you need anything let us know. Welcome to the building."
    Drew and Riley walk out.
    Tricia looks around her apartment.


    WPK:
    Ella walks up the steps.
    She grabs her by the arm, "Clara, what are you doing here?"
    Ciara scoffs, "Ciara. My name is Ciara."
    Ella sighs, "I'm sorry. But seriously what are you doing here? How did you even know where I work?"
    Ciara nods, "You babbled about it when you were drunk. I almost thought you were exaggerating but you do run the place here don't you?"
    Ella nods, "I don't remember saying anything about this. But you still haven't answered my first question."
    Ciara looks at her, "I didn't get your number and I wanted to see you again."
    Ella sighs, "No offense but if I wanted to give you my number then I would have."
    Ciara stares, "So what was last night?"
    Many of the employees are beginning to stare.
    Ella sighs, "It was nothing."
    Ciara scoffs, "That was nothing to you? Seriously?"
    Ella looks at her, "Would you keep your voice down?"
    Ciara looks at her, "You didn't care about me keeping my voice down when you had your hands all over me at the club last night did you Ella?"
    Many employees begin giggling.
    Ella grabs her by the arm, "Don't you dare embarrass me with your melodrama."
    Ciara nods, "You're a slut."
    Ella looks at her, "I never promised you anything. I wanted to have fun and so we did. I have a million things going on right now I don't need another one."
    Ciara stares, "You can't just erase me Ella."
    Ella smiles, "I sure as hell can. Trust me."
    Ciara wipes a tear from her face.
    Ella looks at her, "You walk out of here quietly or I will have security remove you and possibly have you thrown in jail. Your choice. But I don't suggest you go with the latter."
    Ciara nods, "I'm going. But trust me, I am far from gone."
    Ciara walks away.
    A frustrated Ella watches her exit.



    Paramount Studios:


    Jonah is in the middle of a meeting.
    One of the films producers sits at the desk.
    Jonah is pacing, "This isn't right."
    He sits back, "Jonah we told you there would be some changes made."
    Jonah nods, "Yeah. I thought you meant character names, settings, minor lines, at worst I imagined changing the race of the characters."
    He shakes his head, "Actually the studio likes that your lead characters aren't the white, blue-eyed characters you see in other movies. The title itself is no big deal."
    Jonah scoffs, "No big deal? Living in Reverse is the title! Hands down."
    He sighs, "The company has purchased your film and wants to change the title. Love Backwards is on the table right now. We already have a few ideas on how to incorporate it into the trailers."
    Jonah stares, "This isn't a romantic comedy. The romance is only a part of his journey."
    The producer sighs, "Eh, we need something we can package Jonah. Romantic comedies sell."
    Jonah shakes his head, "So what? My film is going to be shaped into a typical romantic comedy. Why don't we just cast J.Lo as the female lead?"
    He stares, "Jonah. Just be happy your film is getting made. You get to direct it, and you're getting paid. Isn't that all that matters?"
    Jonah stares back at him.



    Chaya:


    People are enjoying meals at this LA restaurant.
    David Breck is for some reason dressed as a valet in front.
    His name tag says Chuck.
    An older man parks his car in front of the restaurant.
    His young girlfriend sits in the passenger seat.
    He gets out as David opens the door.
    The man drops the keys in his hand, "Don't scratch it or I'll rip your nuts off and mail them to your parents."
    David stares at him through his sunglasses.
    The girlfriend laughs.
    The two walk into the restaurant.
    David hops in the car and drives through the parking lot.
    He quietly takes of in the car.
    He takes his glasses off and throws them out.
    David gets on his phone, "Hey. I'm on my way... yeah it's nice. I'll drop it by on my way home. But McKellan... I can't keep doing this it's too risky. Maybe it's time we-"
    David is hung up on.
    He scoffs, "Bastard."
    David drives down the road.



    ULA:


    Dr. Michael Mancini is at his desk in his office.
    There is a knock at the door.
    He hollers, "Come in."

    Lauren walks in, "Dr. Mancini."
    He looks up, "Yung. You still here?"
    She nods, "I'm on my way out. Hopefully getting some sleep for a change."
    Michael nods, "Just wait. Eventually you'll get to the point where you don't even need sleep anymore. It just becomes a pain when you try."
    Lauren sighs, "I'm getting there sir."
    Michael looks at her, "Something you want Yung? Or can I expect you to start chatting about the weather?"
    She looks at him, "Well I wanted to know how you were doing. I know it's around the time of Vanessa's birthday... this must be hard for you."
    Michael looks at her, "You know you're the first person to say anything to me."
    She sighs, "She was your wife. I know she killed Sydney but I know Syd could provoke people. Anyway none of it changes the fact that you lost someone."
    Michael stares, "I miss her everyday. I really thought that marriage would last, maybe it would have but we'll never know."
    Lauren looks at him, "I know our relationship is professional but I want you to know that you can talk to me about things and it will always be confidential."
    He looks at her, "You trying to kiss my ass Yung? Smart girl."
    Lauren smiles, "Thank you."
    He nods, "But that's enough for today. Get some rest."
    She nods, "See you sir."
    Lauren walks out.
    She turns off her tape recorder she was hiding, "Damn."
    Lauren walks away.

    The sun goes down and night life is unleashed in LA


    Coal:
    One of LA's hottest night clubs is packed.
    The neighbors are all gathered together.
    David has drinks brought over.
    He puts his arm around Jonah, "You okay man?"
    Jonah looks as Riley sits on Drew's lap.
    Jonah nods, "I'm okay."
    Tricia walks over, "These my neighbors?"
    David smiles, "Nice to meet you. Welcome to Coal. I hope you enjoy it. My neighbors get the best treatment. Trust me."
    Chase laughs, "Nice to welcome another newbie. It really is an awesome building."
    Tricia nods, "Thanks."
    David starts handing out shots.
    Ella walks over, "Sorry I'm late. Where is the new neighbor?"
    Tricia waves.
    Ella talks through her smile, "Ah... sweats girl."
    Tricia nods, "Nice to meet you Barbie."
    Ella takes her shot.
    David laughs, "We're waiting for everyone."
    Ella nods, "Then you better give me another shot."
    Lauren walks over, "Hey."
    David kisses her, "You made it."
    Lauren laughs, "Who needs sleep?"
    David looks at her, "Work okay?"
    She nods, "It was work."
    She gestures to Riley and Drew letting them know she didn't get any information.
    Tricia and Lauren shake hands.
    David smiles, "Well Tricia welcome to LA. The land of young Hollywood, plastic, tan, and where women can wear bikini's all year round!"
    Drew laughs, "Here here."
    Riley nudges him.
    Ella looks at Tricia, "Don't let that pressure you to dress more feminine."
    Tricia smirks, "It won't."
    The neighbors take their shots.
    The night is filled with dancing, shots and partying.
    Cabs arrive later to bring them home to Melrose Place.

    Apartment 6:
    Later that night.
    Jonah arrives back at his apartment.
    He stumbles inside.
    Jonah looks around.
    He can tell something is different but isn't sure what.
    He then sees a glass of water on the table.
    Jonah knows he hasn't made a glass of water all day.
    He looks around at his empty apartment with confusion.

    Apartment 7:
    Drew and Riley walk inside.
    Riley is laughing, "You're so drunk."
    He shakes his head, "No, Babe that's you."
    She looks at him, "We both drank."
    He shakes his head, "Nah. I didn't drink too much. Once everyone else got drunk they hardly noticed that I was sober."
    She stares, "Oh God. I'm so sorry... you're heart... Damn it."
    He looks at her, "It's okay. I just need to be careful sometimes."
    She looks at him, "Yes you do. Because I love you. I love everything about you."
    She kisses him.
    He smiles, "I love everything about you too."
    She shakes her head, "No I love everything. I love your lips."
    She kisses his lips and begins to work her way down.
    Riley keeps kissing, "Your neck, your chest... your abs...."
    Drew begins to smile, "You drive me crazy Riley Richmond.
    She stands up, "You're the best guy in the whole world. Let me remind you of that."
    Riley takes off her top.
    She leads Drew into the bedroom.
    She throws him down on the bed and begins taking his clothes off.
    He laughs, "Slow down.
    She looks at him with her drunk eyes, "Promise me you'll never leave..."
    Drew sits up and kisses Riley.
    The two lay down and undress.

    A new day begins as LA wakes up to a sunny morning.

    Coal:
    David is walking around.
    The staff is cleaning up.
    He looks around, "Sometimes I swear we might as well not clean it. No one can even tell at night and by morning the place is a mess again."
    He hears footsteps behind him.

    McKellan walks in, "Now you don't want health inspectors to hear that."
    David turns, "Hey. What's up?"
    David walks to his office.
    McKellan follows, "Just checking on my man. I was impressed with your steal yesterday. I've been trying to get that ride for weeks."
    David sighs, "I know what I'm doing."
    McKellan nods, "That's why I can't lose you David. You're valuable."
    David walks over, "That's it. I'm done. Find someone else to do your dirty work."
    McKellan back hands him.
    David's staff looks over.
    McKellan looks at him, "Don't you ever disrespect me. You understand? Or you, and your little girlfriend will be as good as dead. You understand?"
    McKellan walks away.
    David holds his face as he walks into his office.

    WPK:
    Ella walks into the building.
    She stops when she sees Ciara chatting up the employees.
    Ciara goes on about her night with Ella.
    Ella walks over, "What are you doing here?"
    Ciara stares, "See. She has anger issues, I'm telling you."
    Ella grabs her by the arm.
    Ciara smiles, "Ooh someone is rough."
    Ella looks at her, "You stay the hell away from my work."
    Ciara looks at her, "You can keep me away from the building. But you can't keep away from your career. I'll bad mouth you all over town. You'll be a laughing stock."
    Ella stares, "What do you want?"
    Ciara smiles, "What does anyone in LA want? Cash."
    Ella grabs her checkbook, "You disgusting little bitch."
    Ella writes out a check.
    Ciara smirks.
    Ella rips it out, "If I see you again... your life in LA will be over."
    Ciara takes the check, "Goodbye Ella. Nice knowing you."
    Ciara walks out of the building.
    Ella storms off to her office.

    Women's Correctional Facility:


    Amanda Woodward is in line for the payphone.
    Amanda gets on and calls a number.
    She waits, "It's me... How do you think I am? Cut the small talk. How is the progress on Ella?... That's it? No that's not good enough. That girl crossed me and she needs to pay for it.... No you listen to me. You are not living in the same building as her so that you can hang out at the pool. I hired you to ruin Ella Simm's life. Don't forget what's at stake."

    By JAYJAY,

    Hart


    Another sunny morning
    Warm LA weather
    Growing tension at 4616 Melrose Place



    Apartment 4:


    Chase Matthews walks around his room in his boxer briefs.
    His room is covered in different outfits.
    Finally he makes his selection.
    After doing his hair he walks out to the living room.

    Ella Simms is pacing.
    He stares, "El, what's up? I thought you'd be at work by now."
    She sighs, "I've never been late before. But I'm thinking of a new route to take. I'm honestly this close to just moving our offices somewhere. Unfortunately that is not within my power."
    Chase looks at her, "Okay. Slow down roomy. What's up?"
    She nods, "Amanda."
    He shakes his head, "Amanda is locked up."
    Ella nods, "Doesn't mean she can't reach out from behind the bars and strangle me."
    Chase looks at her, "What am I missing?"
    Ella looks at him, "I have some feelers at where she's staying. Just people sort of keeping an eye on her for me. I know it sounds crazy but she would do the same thing. And I think she is."
    Chase stares, "What do you mean?"
    Ella nods, "I feel like every step I take there is some big wall placed in front of me. Amanda somehow manages to stay one step ahead of me. She's out to get me."
    He sighs, "Any chance you're just being paranoid?"
    Ella shakes her head, "No I'm not. And I wouldn't be surprised if it was someone in this building."
    He laughs, "You should hear yourself. Come on Ella we are friends with everyone."
    She sighs, "What about Riley and Drew? Or the new girl?"
    Chase nods, "Sweat pants?"
    Ella nods, "Maybe her horrible wardrobe is a facade planted by Amanda. You never know."
    Ella and Chase peak out the window into the courtyard.
    They both make unpleased faces when they see Tricia.


    Courtyard:


    Tricia walks out in shorts, a T-shirt and jacket.
    She has her gym bag with her.

    Jonah passes her as he goes to his apartment, "Hey Tricia. Going to the gym?"
    She nods, "Yep. Or work as I like to call it."
    He looks at her, "Oh that's right. You work at a gym. That's awesome. Maybe someday you can help me turn my belly into a 6-pack. What do you think?"
    She laughs, "Yeah man. Come by sometime. I work at 360 Health Club on Hart."
    He grins, "Sounds good."
    She stares, "You just get home?"
    He nods, "Yeah pulled an all nighter. Who would think making a movie would be so difficult?"
    She laughs, "I wouldn't know. I gotta run. See you."
    Tricia jogs off.
    Jonah smiles as he watches her leave.
    Ella and Chase step out of their apartment.
    Ella hollers, "Jonah. Pick your jaw up off the ground."
    He turns and looks at her, "Good morning to you too El."
    Ella and Chase exit the courtyard.

    Apartment 6:
    Jonah walks up to his door and notices it's unlocked.
    Jonah looks around.
    He slowly opens the door and walks in.
    He can tell someone has been inside.
    He grabs a bat that he keeps in the closet.
    Jonah lowers his voice and hollers, "Anyone here?"
    Jonah walks over to his bed.
    He stops and stares as he sees someone laying in it.
    He looks at the long bright red hair, "Sydney?..."
    She turns around.
    He sees Sydney's daughter Violet staring back at him.
    Jonah is in shock.






    Apartment 6:
    Jonah stares at Violet.
    She sits up, "Jonah..."
    He scoffs, "Oh my God. Violet what the hell are you doing here?"
    She sighs, "Please, please don't be angry."
    He shakes his head, "You are sleeping in my bed! You're the one who's been in my apartment. You've had me paranoid all week. I thought I was going crazy!"
    She shakes her head, "I'm so sorry Jonah. I never meant for that."
    He stares, "What the hell did you mean for then?"
    She sighs, "I didn't have anywhere else to go. And I used to live here. You were hardly even here because of the movie so I didn't think it was a big deal."
    Jonah nods, "Big deal. Very, very big deal. Breaking and entering."
    She looks down, "I'm so sorry Jonah."
    He stares, "I don't understand. I thought you rode off into the sunset with Auggie. You finally got away from this place that brought you bad memories. Why did you come back?"
    She looks at him, "Things didn't work out with Auggie... and I had no where else to go. I don't have a family to go home to Jonah. I have nothing."
    He notices she's undressed, "Well why don't you get dressed and I'll be over there."
    She sighs, "My clothes are in the laundry downstairs...."
    He grabs a shirt, "Here..."
    She takes it.
    Jonah turns around.
    Violet notices he can see her in the mirror and purposely makes sure he sees everything.
    Jonah tries to look away but watches as Violet dresses.



    360 Health Club:

    Tricia is at the gym.
    A man walks over, "You Tricia?"
    She nods, "Yep that's me. Am I working with you?"
    He nods, "I'm Ty. I told them to give me some hot chick but damn. You're off the charts."
    She nods, "Yeah... let's get to work."
    The two walk over to the weights.
    She starts to set it up for him.
    He folds his arms and smirks at her.
    She tries to ignore him.
    She nods, "Okay. I'll spot you. Let's see what you got big man."
    Ty smiles, "I'd like to see what you got."
    Ty lies down and puts his hands on the bars.
    She claps her hands together, "Okay. Let's go."
    He smirks, "I like the view.
    He looks up at her breasts above him.
    Tricia shakes her head, "Knock it off."
    He looks at her, "Come on. You think you can distract guys like that and not have them react? A girl like you only comes to gyms to get hit on."
    She scoffs, "Excuse me?"
    He sits up, "Come on. I work out enough. Why don't you show me the faculty locker rooms?"
    He rubs her thigh.
    Tricia grabs his hand and twist it.
    He whines in pain, "Ah!"
    She looks at him, "Touch me again, and I'll go for your crotch next time."
    Everyone in the gym is staring.



    ULA:


    Michael is in his office.
    Lauren walks in, "You wanted to see me Dr. Mancini?"
    He nods, "Yes take a seat."
    Lauren has her recorder hidden in her folders she's carrying.
    He looks at her, "You said I could confide things in you right? I mean I know I'm your superior so you kind of look up to me and have to say things-"
    She sighs, "Dr. Mancini. I meant it. You can tell me anything."
    He sits back, "It's tough being a doctor. I mean tougher than you probably realize Yung."
    She nods, "Of course."
    He sighs, "And sometimes we make mistakes. We trust people we shouldn't. We let little things that we wouldn't even notice slip past us."
    She nods, "Everyone makes mistakes. We're human beings."
    He stands, "Yeah but some of us make more mistakes than others. Wouldn't you agree?"
    She looks at him, "I suppose so."
    He stares at her, "Do you ever make mistakes Yung?"
    She nods, "Of course."
    He starts to walk around, "Like what."
    She clears her throat, "Well trusting Dr. Drew Pragin for one. He fooled me into thinking he was being honest but at the end of the day he could have jeopardized your career."
    He looks at her, "I agree. But sometimes we let the most little mistakes ruin our lives. You know?"
    She looks at him, "Dr. Mancini if this is about the heart valve... you can trust me. If there was some mistake you made then we can discuss it."
    He starts to walk towards her, "Why the sudden change?"
    Lauren gets nervous.
    He looks at her, "You just said Drew made it up. He wanted to ruin my career. Sometimes we let the smallest of mistakes ruin our lives?"
    Michael grabs the recorder.
    He turns it off.
    She stares in shock.
    He smiles, "Consider this your small mistake. And consider your life... ruined."
    Lauren stares at Michael in shock and confusion.

    Apartment 6:
    Jonah and Violet sit on the couch.
    He looks at her, "Okay, I gotta ask you a question. And no offense. But of all the people here, why would you come to my place? I made it pretty clear I..."
    She sighs, "Hated me?"
    He shakes his head, "I was going to say feared. Horrified."
    She looks at him, "I am kind of socially awkward. I come off as creepy and I come on too strong. But Jonah I'm just a girl who's lost."
    He stares, "Yeah."
    She looks around, "Kind of like Ally Sheedy in the Breakfast Club."
    He laughs, "Nice reference."
    She sighs, "I'll be honest... I would sometimes go through your movie collection. Every movie you have is amazing. I guess that's little compared to the fact I was staying here though."
    He nods, "Actually I like that. I always begged Riley to watch every movie I had. I like to discuss films with everyone, until it gets annoying. Even after that."
    Violet laughs, "I finally saw Citizen Kane!"
    Jonah stares, "You never saw it?"
    She nods, "It's amazing! So is Casablanca. But it wasn't as romantic as I expected."
    Jonah shakes his head, "That's a common misconception."
    She smiles, "You're so smart Jonah... I know this just keeps getting creepier. But I saw some of your work. You're an incredible artist with the camera. You made me fall in love with film."
    Jonah laughs, "My ego is off the charts right now."
    She sighs, "Well once your film gets released you'll have millions of people telling you the same thing. And my words will be nothing but a cameo in the movie that is your life."
    Jonah shakes his head, "I don't think so."
    Violet looks at the clock, "I should probably go find somewhere to sleep tonight. I'm sorry again Jonah-"
    He stands, "Wait. You know... one more night wouldn't kill me. Would it?"
    She laughs, "You're a jerk."
    He laughs, "A jerk you've been living off of!"
    The two laugh together.

    It starts to get dark in LA

    360 Health Club:
    Tricia goes back behind the front desk after her shifts are done.
    The manager walks out, "Tricia. Can I speak with you?"
    She nods, "Yeah."
    The two walk away.
    He looks at her, "I heard about what happened earlier."
    She sighs, "Don't worry I'm fine I can take care of myself. But I appreciate-"
    He shakes his head, "I'm not worried about you Tricia. Do you have any idea who that was that you were assaulting out there? Seriously."
    She scoffs, "Some pig!"
    He nods, "That pig is one of our best members."
    Tricia stares, "Are you serious right now?"
    He looks at her, "You need to understand something, we didn't hire you because of your personality or your looks. We hired you because of your talent. So I don't want to hear about anything except your skills."
    She stares, "You are really making this out to be my fault."
    He nods, "If you don't like it.... go back to the east coast. Not everyone is cut out for LA."
    He walks away.
    A frustrated Tricia wants to punch the wall.

    Apartment 9:


    David is on the phone with McKellan.
    He stands outside his door, "Yeah... I'll take care of it. I need to get something from my place. I'll call you in a little while. Fine-."
    McKellan hangs up.
    David walks inside.
    Lauren is on the couch.
    He stares, "Hey you're home early."
    She sighs, "Yeah I am."
    He walks towards her, "Hey. Tell me. What's going on?"
    She is fighting tears.
    He sits, "Lauren."
    She shakes her head, "David..."
    He puts his arm around her, "Talk to me."
    She looks at him, "Your father... he kicked me off his team and he wants to try and kick me out of the program. My medical career might be over."
    David shakes his head, "What because of me? He can't do that. We won't let him."
    Lauren sighs, "David it's not you. I'm so sorry I kept something from you. I'm so sorry."
    David shakes his head, "What?"
    Lauren nods, "I've been trying to prove that Dr. Mancini's valve is leaking those toxic chemicals that cause strokes and other complications. I've been pretending to get close to him to get information."
    David stares, "Why?"
    She sighs, "For Drew and Riley. Drew is so passionate about this... because he was given one of the valve's and he doesn't know how long he has to live."
    David turns, "Oh my God. Oh no."
    She nods, "I promised I wouldn't tell. I'm so sorry."
    He puts his arms around her, "Don't apologize. Lauren I understand."
    Lauren cries, "I let you down. Now I have to go tell them that I let them down. Then I have to call my Dad and tell him that let my family down. I let everyone down David."
    He looks at her, "No. I'm going to be with you now. Don't shut me out Laur."
    The two hold each other.

    Courtyard:
    Ella arrives home.
    She sees Tricia getting her mail.
    Ella begins walking faster.
    She pretends to stumble and falls into Tricia.
    Ella shouts, "Oh sorry!"
    Tricia's mail falls.
    Ella jumps to help pick them up.
    She looks through to see if she recognizes anything.
    Ella smiles, "So sorry."
    Tricia nods, "Mmhmm."
    Ella looks at her, "I get distracted easily."
    Tricia looks at her, "I bet."
    Ella stares, "It must be nice to have a job that doesn't require you to wear make up."
    Tricia scoffs, "Listen Barbie... I'm not in the mood for your backhanded compliments. So why don't you walk your flat chested, blonde ass over to your place before I show you what backhanded really means."
    Ella smirks, "Isn't it a little late to be taking testosterone?"
    Tricia shakes her head, "I am about 10 seconds away from throwing you into that pool."
    Ella laughs, "You're even classier than I imagined."
    She begins to walk away.
    Tricia grabs her, "I've had a really bad day. So I suggest you wipe that smirk off your face before I do."
    Ella pulls away, "You just made a big mistake. I'm not someone you want to cross."
    Tricia scoffs, "Whatever."
    Tricia and Ella both walk back to their apartments.

    Apartment 7:


    Lauren and David are in Drew and Riley's apartment.
    Drew looks at them, "So David knows now?"
    David sighs, "She had to tell me man. And I'm really sorry."
    Drew nods, "It's okay. Honestly I'm not that bad. I just have been feeling it a lot more recently and the stress is not helping me."
    David looks at him, "I hate that my father is responsible."
    Riley looks at Lauren, "I'm so sorry. I can't believe Michael is doing this to you. We can't let him just destroy your career because of us."
    Lauren sighs, "We couldn't stop him from giving those valves to people."
    Drew looks at her, "You tried. You sacrificed a lot and you should be proud. I really appreciate everything you've done Lauren. But you need to worry about yourself now."
    Riley takes Drew's hand.
    The two smile at each other.
    David grins, "You two are great together you know that?"
    Riley smiles, "I agree."
    David nods, "You're lucky to have each other."
    Riley looks at him, "It's going to be rough but Drew and I will get through this together. He's a strong man and nothing is taking him down."
    David smiles.
    Lauren stares at Drew.
    Drew notices but looks away.

    Apartment 4:
    Chase walks inside.
    He hollers, "El, you home?"
    She hollers back, "I'm in the tub."
    Chase walks into the bathroom.
    Ella is in a bubble bath.
    He stares, "Bubble bath but no candles. Those are signs of a stress overload."
    She sighs, "You read me like a book sometimes.
    He sits on the counter, "I'm your best friend now aren't I?"
    She grins, "Well Lauren has been busy a lot. And who else is there?"
    He looks at her, "So what's up?"
    She nods, "It has to be Tricia. That woman is nuts! I accidentally bumped into her and she practically tried to throw me into the pool."
    He stares, "Was it really an accident?"
    Ella sits back, "God you know me."
    He laughs, "I'll leave you alone. Goodnight."
    She stares, "Chase?"
    He turns.
    She stands up, "Are you sure you're gay?"
    He stares at her soapy naked body, "If I wasn't... it would be obvious right now."
    She sighs, "Damn."
    Chase laughs, "You're crazy."
    Chase walks out.

    Apartment 6:
    Jonah is sleeping on the couch.
    He allowed Violet to take his bed.
    Violet hears Jonah snoring quietly.
    She then gets up and walks over to him.
    Violet stands over him and watches him sleep peacefully.
    Violet smiles.
    She pulls up a chair very slowly.
    She takes a seat.
    Violet pulls her legs up and sits criss cross in her chair.
    Jonah's chest goes up and down as he breathes.
    Violet smiles as she watches him sleep.

    Courtyard:
    It's a late quiet night at Melrose Place.
    Drew is walking around the pool.
    Lauren sees him standing outside and comes out.
    She says his name, "Drew..."
    He turns and looks up at her, "Hey. What you doing up so late?"
    She walks down the steps, "I couldn't sleep so I figured I would eventually see you around here too. I know it's hard for you to sleep anyway with your condition."
    He sighs, "Yeah well."
    Lauren walks towards him, "Does Riley know?"
    He stares, "I don't know."
    Lauren crosses her arms, "Uh-huh? Does she know about the things that are happening in your body?"
    Drew laughs, "She's no doctor."
    Lauren sighs, "Does she know that your organs are being compromised and that you are getting weaker. Drew does she know that even if we take down Mancini... it's probably too late to reverse your damage."
    Drew stares, "Why are you doing this?"
    Lauren looks at him, "You are my friend. But so is Riley. You can't let her be in denial Drew. Stop letting her think that she is going to have children with you or buy a house with you."
    Drew starts to cry.
    Lauren cries, "Drew I'm so sorry. It's killing me to see this happen to you. But we aren't doing Riley any favors by keeping her in the dark."
    Drew shakes his head, "I love her Lauren. And loving her makes this even harder. I don't want us to be separated. We haven't had enough time yet. It's not right."
    Lauren shakes her head, "I know."
    Drew keeps shaking his head.
    Lauren walks over and puts her arms around him.
    Drew cries with Lauren.

    The sun rises and the morning begins at Melrose Place.

    Courtyard:
    Tricia steps outside of her apartment.
    She looks across and sees Ella walking out as well.
    They both stare at each other as they realize that their schedules are similar, thus they will be seeing a lot of each other around the pool.
    David and Lauren walk out of their apartment in swim wear.
    Ella looks up, "Hey. Are you two skipping work today?"
    David laughs, "Something like that."
    Ella stares, "Impressive. I never got this girl to take off work."
    Lauren laughs, "I just got some time off today. I'm going in later."
    David and Lauren walk down the steps.
    Drew and Riley step out of their apartment together.
    They wave at their neighbors.
    Violet walks out of Jonah's apartment.
    Everyone turns and stares.
    Tricia and Drew each look around as they notice everyone else being alarmed.
    Riley stares, "Oh my God."
    Ella shows her fake smile, "Violet.... what are you doing here?"
    Jonah steps out of his apartment, "Hey.... everyone."
    David smiles, "Wow."
    Drew looks at Riley, "Who is that?"
    Riley nods, "Violet. She used to live here."
    Drew whispers, "The crazy chick?"
    Riley nudges him.
    Chase steps outside, "What's going on?"
    Ella smiles, "Well Tricia, Chase, Drew, this is Violet. She lived here before all of you moved in. Her mother was Sydney the former landlord who ended up floating face down in that pool."
    Tricia stares, "Wait what?"
    Violet turns away.
    Chase whispers to Ella, "The crazy chick?"
    Ella nods.
    Jonah looks around, "Everyone. Violet is just staying at my place for a while it's not big deal. Let's all mind our own business for once."
    Ella walks off to her car.
    Chase goes back to his apartment, as do Riley and Drew.
    Tricia looks at David and Lauren, "Did someone die in this pool?"
    David sighs, "Just two that we know of."
    Tricia shakes her head and walks away in shock.
    Violet smiles at Jonah for standing up for her.



    WPK:
    Ella is in her office.
    One of her assistants walks in.
    Ella looks at him, "Good timing. I need you to take care of a few things."
    He nods, "Is it the Dominic Graves problem?"
    She shakes her head, "Oh no. Crawl before you walk. I have a simpler task for you. But very important nonetheless."
    He takes out his blackberry, "Okay. I'm ready."
    Ella smiles, "Find out everything about Tricia Owens."
    He nods, "Is she the newest Real Housewife?"
    Ella shakes her head, "She's a personal trainer at a local gym."
    He stares, "What?"
    Ella nods, "You heard me. Forward me everything you can find before you go to lunch."
    He nods, "Of course."
    He walks out of her office.
    Ella sits back.
    She smiles to herself.




  12. JAYJAY
    Carmelina

    It's the afternoon in LA.
    Traffic is backed up.
    The beaches are filled.



    Courtyard:



    Drew is out in the courtyard.
    Lauren is walking out of her apartment.
    She looks down, "Hey."
    He looks up at her, "Hi."
    She walks down the steps, "What's up?"
    He sighs, "Just waiting for Riley to come home. It's more relaxing to wait out here then inside our apartment."
    Lauren nods, "I see. So are you having the talk?"
    Drew laughs, "I think she already knows where babies come from."
    Lauren stares, "You know what I mean. Are you telling Riley about how serious your condition is?"
    He nods, "Yeah I am."
    She hugs him, "I'll be thinking of you okay. Even though I'll be working another shift."
    Drew stares, "At least you're getting a lot of work."
    Lauren shakes her head, "Dr. Mancini has me doing basics, and lots of it. Basically using every ounce of energy I have against me."
    Drew sighs, "I'm sorry Lauren."
    Lauren sighs, "He wants me to quit. But I'm not going out without a fight."

    Riley walks up, "Hey you two. Laur you just now going to work?"
    Lauren nods, "Yep. So I'll see you two later."
    Lauren walks off.
    Riley kisses Drew.
    Drew smiles at her, "Let's go inside."
    The two walk into their apartment.



    WPK:


    Ella is having a late lunch with her roommate Chase in her office.
    Chase looks at her, "Aren't you lucky to have a roommate who can accommodate his schedule to fit your needs?"
    She nods, "I'm so used to Lauren, who I barely saw. It's kind of nice."
    He drinks his bottle of water, "So what's the news on Sweat pants?"
    Ella nods, "She works at that health club. I've got a few moles on her."
    He grins, "What about the redhead?"
    Ella stares, "Violet? I thought that too. Violet is Sydney's daughter. It would make perfect sense for her to be the one working for Amanda..."
    Chase stares, "But?"
    Ella sighs, "But Violet isn't clever enough. She's fresh out of high school. She thinks wearing mall clothes is a nice look. You know the type."
    He laughs, "She has a few T-shirts with surfboards and random dates on them?"
    Ella smirks, "Not to mention shorts with writing on the behind."
    Chase laughs, "Oh God."
    Ella sits back, "Amanda wouldn't send someone in who's so oblivious."
    He nods, "What about Tricia? Sweat pants."
    Ella stares, "See her fashion sense is too pathetic. It's like she's trying to look like a guy. I'd put good money that it's all an act."
    Chase nods, "Okay well why don't se go in to the hail of gunfire ourselves?"
    Ella shakes her head, "You lost me."
    He sits forward, "Let's go pay Sweat pants a visit."
    Ella smiles.
    She messages her assistant to forward her calls.






    ULA:

    Lauren is carrying a load of files down the hall.
    She watches as her peers are preparing to scrub in on surgeries.
    She continues in frustration.

    Dr. Michael Mancini purposely runs into her.
    She falls and drops the files.
    He stares, "Yung!"
    She sighs, "Dr. Mancini-"
    He looks down at her, "These are important files, can you be this careless with them?"
    Lauren shakes her head, "I'm sorry Dr. Mancini."
    He shakes his head, "This is why you couldn't cut it on my team. You don't have enough patience, attention to detail, steady hand, or loyalty for that matter."
    Lauren looks around as the rest of the staff stares at her getting berated.
    She looks up.
    Dr. Mancini gives off a smug grin.
    He walks away.
    Lauren picks up her stuff and continues to the desk.



    Carmelina Mansion:


    The residents are away from their home in the wealthy neighborhood.
    David is walking around the hallways.
    He texts his boss to let him know he's in.
    David sees the miniature vase.
    He grabs the case from his bag.
    He gently picks up the vase and puts it inside.
    David quietly zips up his bag.
    Just as he relaxes, he hears the door open.
    David's eyes widen and his heart races.
    The man hollers at his wife from a distance, "I told you to grab the tickets! I told you a million times!"
    She hollers back, "Don't yell at me in front of our son!"
    He scoffs, "Just have a drink and shut your mouth for a minute.
    David hears the man go upstairs.
    He hides behind the wall as the wife heads into the kitchen to pour herself a glass of wine.
    David tries to slowly back out.
    The little boy walks out into the hallway.
    He stares directly at David.
    He doesn't make a sound.
    David shushes him as he backs up.
    David accidentally knocks over a lamp.
    The husband shouts, "What the hell was that?"
    The little boy runs into the kitchen.
    David makes a run for it.
    He can hear the family shuffling around behind him.
    David smacks his head into a wall on his way out.


    Apartment 7:
    Drew and Riley sit together.
    He looks at her, "I'm glad you had a good day."
    She smiles, "Me too. So what should we do with the rest of it?"
    He sighs, "I was hoping we could talk."
    She stares, "Are you okay?"
    He shakes his head, "No."
    She stares, "Have you gotten worse? What's wrong?"
    He stares, "I have gotten worse. I'm always getting worse Riley."
    Riley stares at him in confusion.
    He takes her hand, "I know we don't like to talk about it. But I need to know that you understand what is happening. At this point some of the damage that is being done, is irreversible."
    She nods, "Okay."
    He sighs, "I know we want so badly to stop Dr. Mancini from giving anymore patients that heart valve. But we need to accept that it won't change what's happening to me."
    Riley nods, "Okay but once we make him aware of it, we can get research on how to reverse the damage."
    Drew shakes his head, "You're not listening. I know you're not a doctor, but you have to understand what is going to happen. Riley I meant it when I told you I didn't know how long I had to live."
    Riley shakes her head, "Let's not do this now."
    He nods, "We have to."
    She has tears in her eyes.
    Drew holds both of her hands, "My condition is not going to get better. It's only getting worse. And we can't just take the valve out at this point. That would only make things worse. We have to ride it out."
    Riley nods, "Then what?"
    Drew runs his hand through her hair, "I wish I could marry you, give you children, play with grandchildren, buy a house, take vacations...."
    Riley starts to cry.
    He has tears in his eyes, "But I don't think that will ever happen. Time is precious, but it's not a friend of mine. I'll never be able to give you those things. All I can really give you... is eventually and inevitably a broken heart."
    Riley sobs.
    Drew holds her.
    She gets up, "I need to use the bathroom."
    Riley rushes out of the room.
    Drew cries as he watches Riley walk away.



    360 Health Club:

    Chase and Ella walk around in their gym wear.
    She looks at him, "Aren't gyms like church for gay guys?"
    Chase looks around, "I don't know but it sure feels like heaven."
    Ella laughs, "Indeed."
    The two get on treadmills next to each other.

    Tricia spots them and walks over.
    Ella and Chase pretend not to notice her.
    Tricia stares, "What's up?"
    Ella looks at her, "Oh Tasha. Hi!"
    Tricia nods, "It's Tricia."
    Chase laughs, "Sorry."
    Tricia looks at them, "Why are you here?"
    Ella stares, "Well believe it or not, I don't wake up looking like this. It takes a lot of hard work and discipline to keep myself in shape."
    Tricia looks at her, "You don't say."
    Chase nods, "I'm an actor. So I'm nothing without a six pack."
    Tricia laughs, "You're not going to get one on there."
    Ella looks at Chase, "Listen to her. She knows what she's talking about."
    Tricia stares, "What is this? Why are you suddenly being so polite? I was under the impression that I had at least another round of your cattiness."
    Ella laughs, "That? That was just hazing."
    Chase nods, "Yeah newbie. You should have seen what she did to me."
    Tricia nods, "I'm sure."
    Ella smiles, "Don't take it personally."
    Tricia looks around, "I gotta get back to work. Let me know if you need anything."
    Ella waves, "Okay."
    Tricia walks away.
    Ella scoffs, "What a bitch."
    Chase laughs.


    Apartment 6:


    Violet sits in Jonah's apartment.
    She is watching TV.
    She sees him walking up through the window.
    She turns it off and grabs the newspaper.

    Jonah walks in, "Hey."
    She looks at him, "Hey. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a job or an apartment in LA?"
    Jonah laughs, "I didn't know people still used newspapers for that."
    She stares, "Oh... yeah."
    He smiles, "Violet if you wanted to watch TV it's okay. I didn't expect you to find a job on the first day. I'm just glad that you're trying."
    She sits up, "I guess it would be easier if I was like you."
    He laughs, "I'd love to hear you explain that one. Because I could go on all night about how hard it is to be an aspiring filmmaker in LA."
    She sighs, "You have a passion. You know what you want to do with your life. You probably can't imagine yourself doing anything else can you?"
    Jonah shakes his head, "No I can't."
    Violet smiles, "You're amazing Jonah. I'm so glad to see your dreams coming true."
    He smiles, "You're a little ego booster aren't you?"
    Violet smirks, "You act all flattered now. But once your movie comes out you'll have a big mansion and a million models chasing you around."
    Jonah laughs, "That is every nerd's dream. But I just want to make my films."
    She stares, "You're incredible."
    He stands up, "Enough compliments. You're giving me a big head."
    Jonah walks to the kitchen.
    Violet stands up, "Let me make you something for dinner. I've got pretty good at cooking. I watched the food network and saw some stuff I wanted to try."
    Jonah smiles, "How can I say no to that?"
    Violet grins, "I love trying new things."
    Jonah stares at her.
    Violet walks past him into the kitchen.
    Jonah nods, "How about we meet the gang at Coal later?"
    She nods, "Sounds good."
    Violet bends over to get a pan.
    Jonah stares at her.

    The night life begins in LA.
    The clubs are filling up.
    Everyone who's anyone is getting in.

    Coal:
    Another packed night at Coal.
    It's quickly becoming one of LA's hottest spots.
    Some of young Hollywood is mingling.
    Chase sits in the VIP section.
    David walks over, "Hey man. Where's El? I thought you two were joined at the hip?"
    Chase laughs, "She's keeping an eye on some of her clients. Rumor has it, someone didn't wear panties tonight. Ella is laying down the law."
    David laughs, "That's El."
    Lauren walks over, "Hey. I finally got off."
    The two stare at her.
    She scoffs, "Work."
    David laughs, "Glad you're here."
    The two kiss.
    She looks at his head, "What happened?"
    He shakes his head, "I just bumped into a wall."
    Lauren stares, "David..."
    He shakes his head, "It's nothing."
    Lauren sighs, "Okay."
    David can tell she's not happy with him.
    Tricia walks over, "Hey everyone."
    David grins, "Welcome. Remember, my neighbors are always welcome in VIP."
    Chase looks around, "Where are Riley and Drew?"
    Lauren sighs, "I think they're busy."
    David looks at Lauren.
    Over by the entrance.
    Violet and Jonah walk in together.
    He looks at her, "Want to go over to VIP?"
    Violet nods, "Later. For now... I really want to dance. Let's work off that dinner."
    Violet takes Jonah's hand.
    The two walk out to the dance floor.
    Over back in VIP, Ella joins her friends.
    David laughs, "You just missed it-"
    Ella shakes her head, "No you just missed it. Look over there."
    The gang looks to see Jonah grinding with Violet.
    Lauren stares, "Wow."
    Ella smiles, "This will be interesting."
    Chase hollers, "Let's do shots!"
    The neighbors all gather around.

    Apartment 7:
    Riley and Drew stay home.
    They lay in bed together.
    She looks at him, "Drew. I'm so sorry."
    He stares, "Why are you sorry?"
    She looks at him, "I was making it about myself. All I could think was how I was going to have to get through life without having you by my side."
    He nods, "You've done it most of your life."
    She shakes her head, "My life was confusing. I had no idea who I was back then. I don't even want to think about my life without you in it Drew."
    He nods, "But you have to."
    She stares, "No. What we need to do is live like every moment might be our last. Because it might."
    Drew stares, "Okay."
    She sighs, "What would you want to do if it was the end of the world?"
    He laughs, "I don't know... go sky diving, mountain climbing..."
    She laughs, "Something safer."
    He stares, "Marry the woman I love."
    Riley smiles.
    Drew looks into her eyes.
    Riley takes his hands, "Drew, I love you. A year and half ago I got married because I felt pressured. I was living a lie. I wasn't feeling what I'm feeling now. Do you feel it too?"
    He grins, "Of course."
    She puts her hands on his face, "Drew Pragin, will you marry me?"
    Drew smiles, "Yes."
    Riley smiles back.
    The two lean in and kiss.

    Apartment 9:
    Lauren sits in the living room.
    David walks inside, "Hey. You left early. Why didn't you talk to me?"
    She sighs, "I just have a lot on my mind."
    David walks to her, "What's wrong? Is it my Dad?"
    Lauren looks down, "He's making my life hell at work. He's embarrassing me in front of the other doctors, he's treating me like scum. And there's nothing I can do."
    David stares, "He can't get away with that."
    She sighs, "I've never wanted to quit anything in my life but..."
    David holds her, "Listen to me. You're not a quitter. That's not you."
    She stares, "David I feel like the whole world is against me sometimes."
    He shakes his head, "No it's not. Trust me okay?"
    David holds Lauren close.
    He knows he has to do something.

    The sunny morning begins in LA.

    Courtyard:
    Drew and Riley stand out by the bar.
    Lauren and David stand with them.
    Ella and Chase are walking over.
    Tricia walks out of her apartment.
    Riley holler at her, "Tricia come here. It's announcement time."
    Tricia walks over to the neighbors.
    Jonah and Violet walk out after receiving text messages.
    All the neighbors gather around.
    Ella stares, "Some of us have to get to work Riley, and we don't all have school bells to let us know when we're running late."
    Riley smiles, "Not even your attitude could ruin my day."
    Drew kisses her.
    Lauren looks at them, "What's the surprise?"
    Drew smiles, "It's spontaneous so we haven't gotten everything together. But we're engaged."
    Riley nods, "We're getting married."
    Lauren smiles, "Oh my God!"
    Lauren and Riley hug.
    David pats Drew on the back, "Congratulations man."
    Tricia smiles, "Congrats."
    Ella whispers to Jonah, "Deja vu huh?"
    Violet looks at Jonah's face.
    He watches as his ex fiance announces her new engagement.
    Violet rubs his back.
    She smiles.
    David looks around, "I'd love to stick around but I need to go to the club. See you guys later."
    Riley takes Lauren's hand, "I have so much to plan."
    Jonah looks at Drew.
    Drew nods at him.
    Jonah turns around and walks away.

    ULA:
    Dr. Michael Mancini sits at his desk.
    He is looking down.
    He hears his door open up.
    He scoffs, "You'll be sorry for forgetting to knock."
    David walks in, "No I think you're the one who's about to be sorry Dad."
    Michael looks up, "What the hell are you doing here?"
    David smiles, "Just felt like seeing how you were doing."
    David walks around the office."
    Michael stands, "You listen to me. Either you leave, or I will have you thrown out and then I'll take my anger out on that little girlfriend of yours."
    David stares, "As if you could make it worse."
    Michael laughs, "Oh believe me I could. Just ask the last people who used to live in your building."
    David walks towards him, "I could make things a lot worse for you. Knock off your crap with Lauren, or you'll be hearing from my lawyer."
    Michael scoffs, "About what?"
    David looks at him, "Getting custody of my son. We both know that Noah is biologically mine from when I slept with Vanessa. So not only would I get custody of your son, but you would have to explain to the entire medical community that your wife slept with your other son and got knocked up with your grandson."
    Michael stares at David.


  13. JAYJAY
    Mission

    The Sun has risen in LA
    People are beginning their day
    And everyone has plans at 4616 Melrose Place




    Apartment 6:


    Jonah is sleeping on his couch.
    He begins waking up to the smell of bacon and french toast.
    He opens his eyes.

    He can see Violet standing in his kitchen wearing nothing but a T-shirt.
    She is making breakfast.
    He stares, "What's this?"
    She turns, "Oh I'm sorry! Did I wake you?
    He smiles, "No better way to wake up."
    She laughs, "I'm sure there is at least one better way."
    Jonah stares at her.
    She brings his breakfast over to him.
    He sits up, "Violet this is too much."
    She stares, "Oh I'm sorry, I can put some back."
    He laughs, "No. I mean, you don't need to do all of this."
    She nods, "Yes I do. Jonah you've done so much for me. This is the least I can do."
    Jonah eats his food, "This is amazing Violet."
    She laughs, "And not 'poison' I promise."
    He looks at her, "I'm really sorry about the way I treated you when you first moved in. I'm skeptical of new people I guess. I don't know why I'm like that."
    She shakes her head, "It's okay."
    He sighs, "No it isn't. And I'm making it up to you. Later I'm taking you out for a nice meal at this french restaurant Julienne, it's on Mission."
    She smiles, "Okay. That would be awesome."
    Jonah gets up, "I need to get dressed."
    Jonah walks away.
    Violet smiles as she watches him.

    Coal:


    David is behind the bar.
    He is checking things out for his employees.
    One of McKellan's men walks inside.
    He walks to David.
    David looks at him, "What are you doing here?"
    He smiles, "Just dropping off directions. McKellan has a new job for you today."
    He hands David an address.
    David looks at him, "This is a bad part of town, what could it possibly have that McKellan would be interested in?"
    He nods, "A warehouse. Just pick up the shipment."
    David walks from behind the bar and over to him, "You mean drugs?"
    He nods, "It's not flowers. But you can sniff it."
    David shakes his head, "No way. I gotta draw the line somewhere."
    The man smirks, "Oh I would think again. The guys are already arguing over who gets to take care of that cute little doctor girlfriend of yours."
    David gets angry, "I'm sick of you guys threatening Lauren!"
    He pats David on the shoulder, "Then don't piss off McKellan. Or those threats will be put into action."
    David watches as the man walks out of his club.







    Jewelry Store:


    Lauren and Drew are walking around.
    Drew looks at her, "Thanks again for helping me out."
    She nods, "Well Riley is important to me. I want to make sure you don't pick out some tacky ring to surprise her with. I've seen enough forced smiles from girlfriends who have boyfriends with bad taste."
    Drew stares, "Ooh harsh. What makes you think I have bad taste? I picked Riley."
    Lauren nods, "That's true. But your taste for loud music is still blaring in my head from your first day at Melrose."
    He laughs, "We've come a long way since then."
    She smiles, "Yeah we have."
    He stares, "Does that mean you approve of me marrying Riley?"
    She nods, "You were honest with her, Riley knows what she is getting herself into. And she seems to think you're worth it. So you must be."
    Drew grins, "Are you trying to compliment me?"
    Lauren laughs, "Just pick out a ring."
    He looks around, "You know it's only a matter of time before Riley is here with David. If you know what I mean."
    Lauren shakes her head, "David and I are enjoying the way things are now."
    Drew nods, "You're lucky to have each other."
    She smiles, "Yeah we are."
    Drew sees a ring, "Speaking of lucky."
    Lauren stares, "Wow. That's beautiful. Maybe you don't have bad taste after all."
    He smiles, "That's the ring. That's Riley's ring."
    Lauren sighs, "I think you're overlooking the price."
    Drew's smile fades when he notices the ring is out of his price range.



    360 Health Club:


    Tricia is in the middle of a workout with a club member.
    She gives him a break and heads over to get a water bottle.
    She walks to the front desk, "Hey Maya."
    The front desk clerk Maya looks at her, "Hey I've been wanting to talk to you."
    Tricia looks at her, "What's up?"
    Maya sighs, "I don't want to freak you out, but there was a chick in here asking about you a while ago."
    Tricia stares, "Who?"
    Maya nods, "That's what I was wondering. She wanted to know about your schedule and stuff. She even asked to talk with the manager. Anyway, one of the club members recognized her."
    Tricia nods, "From where?"
    Maya shakes her head, "I guess she is an assistant at some publicity firm. W-something."
    Tricia stares, "WPK?"
    Maya nods, "Yeah! Why would they be interested in you?"
    Tricia sighs, "I have a pretty good idea."
    A furious Tricia gets back to the work out.



    WPK:


    Ella is sitting in her office.
    She has been focused on finding Amanda's moles she has planted around her.
    Her assistant walks in, "Ms. Simms? It's time for your video conference."
    Ella nods, "I'm just about ready."
    She turns on Ella's screen on the wall.
    Ella's video conference begins.
    An older man comes up on the screen, "Ms. Simms."
    She smiles, "Hello. How are things in the New York offices?"
    He nods, "Quite well actually. It's the LA offices I'm more concerned with."
    Ella shakes her head, "Excuse me but I don't see why. Our success has not gone down a bit since I took over the reigns, I assure you."
    He nods, "I'm aware. But I'm also aware that nothing is getting better either."
    Ella stares, "Oh."
    He sighs, "We really hoped you would be more than just a fill in. You had promises of getting bigger clients, better employees, and overall better workmanship."
    Ella stares, "It's going to take time-"
    He nods, "You have your deadline. As we told you before, your title can be taken away as quickly as it was given. If things do not show improvement by our next major meeting, you will be demoted, and if things decline you could be terminated."
    Ella stares, "Sir... I promise you that I will not rest until WPK is recognized as the number one firm in all of LA. By the time we have the meeting, New York will be trying to keep up with us."
    He sighs, "I hear a lot of promises. Show me results. Take care Ms. Simms."
    The video conference ends.
    Ella sits back in her chair.
    She worries that her dreams are about to be taken away.

    Warehouse:

    David walks inside and looks around.
    The place almost looks abandoned.
    An older heavyset man walks over, "Who are you?"
    David nods, "I'm with McKellan."
    The man laughs, "Is he hiring high school kids?"
    David sighs, "I'm not a kid. Now do you have the shipment or not?"
    The man nods, "I'm Rick. Follow me."
    David walks with him.
    Rick looks at him, "Between you and me, McKellan doesn't hire his guys to come do this stuff. That's what my guys are for. You know that right?"
    David stares, "So why would he send me?"
    Rick nods, "To prove your loyalty."
    The two walk into a back room.
    Rick grabs a briefcase, "Only the finest for Mr. McKellan."
    David opens it and checks everything out.
    Rick sighs, "Kid I gotta be honest, you're getting in too deep. If there is any way you can get out of this guy's world, then I suggest you do it."
    David shakes his head, "Don't you think I would have done that if I could?"
    Rick nods, "I suppose so."
    David closes the briefcase.
    Rick sighs, "Give my love to the big guy."
    David walks off to his car.
    He wonders how long he can keep answering to McKellan.



    Julienne:
    Jonah and Violet are out eating.
    Violet looks at the menu, "Wow. I have no idea what to order. This stuff is really expensive too."
    Jonah stares, "Don't worry about that. It's on me."
    She shakes her head, "I can't let you pay for something crazy expensive."
    Jonah smiles, "Come on Violet. Just live a little."
    Violet stares, "Do you know what you're getting?"
    He nods, "Why do you want to copy me?"
    She laughs, "Shut up."
    Jonah smiles, "I've never seen this side of you before. It's nice."
    Violet smiles, "You're the daughter of Sydney Andrews and people make up their minds about you quick around here. But I'm not that much like my mother."
    Jonah stares, "I thought you didn't know Sydney well?"
    Violet shakes her head, "Not in person. But I've heard so many things about her... I hate hearing people bad mouth her. And I really hope some of the stuff isn't true."
    He sighs, "Sydney had a catty side. But she was a sweetheart. All she wanted was to have a family and friends. Every month she would take me and Riley out to dinner. I think she did it with all the tenants."
    Violet smiles, "I didn't know that. Did you guys ever come here?"
    Jonah nods, "Yes actually. Sydney was the one who introduced me to this place."
    Violet grins, "That makes me happy."
    Jonah nods, "Violet, just don't listen to what other people had to say about Sydney. She was your mother and you loved her, that's all that matters."
    She nods, "I think so too. You're a great guy Jonah."
    Jonah laughs, "Pick out your food."
    The two look back at their menus.

    Apartment 9:
    David is showering in his place.
    He is taking the briefcase over to McKellan tonight.
    David is trying to clear his head.
    David turns off the water and grabs his towel.
    He wraps it around his waist and walks into his room.
    David sees Lauren sitting on his bed.
    He is surprised, "Lauren."
    She nods, "Hey."
    He looks at her, "I thought you had work."
    She shakes her head, "No I had to help Drew with something. I am going into work later."
    David nods, "Oh. Great."
    David stares as Lauren sits so closely to the briefcase.
    She stares, "You okay?"
    He nods, "Of course. Why do you ask?"
    Lauren reaches over and opens the briefcase.
    She stares back at him acknowledging that she's already seen it.
    David sighs, "Lauren... I don't do drugs."
    She nods, "I know. I would be able to tell if you did. So what the hell is going on? Why would you be selling this stuff? Last I heard Coal was doing great."
    David sighs, "It is. I'm not doing this for the money... I'm doing this for you."
    Lauren stands up, "Explain that quickly."
    He sighs, "You know that girl Morgan? She was blackmailing me into dating her. When we got back together she ratted me out to her father. And so he hired me to work for him, in exchange... he leaves you alone."
    Lauren sits back down, "Damn it David."
    David sits with her, "Lauren I'm so sorry. If you want out of this relationship I don't blame you."
    Lauren looks at him, "Why would you keep this from me?"
    He sighs, "We had so many problems last year. I just wanted this to be different."
    Lauren takes his hand, "Then be honest with me. Never lie to me again."
    He smiles, "Again?"
    She looks into his eyes, "I'm in this for the long haul."
    David kisses her.
    She looks at him, "We're going to figure something out. McKellan can't ruin our lives."
    David and Lauren hold each other.

    The Sun goes down
    The night sets in for LA

    Apartment 7:


    Riley walks inside, "I'm home."
    Drew sits on the couch, "Hey. How was your day?"
    Riley nods, "It was good. I told everyone I was engaged. My students kept asking me questions about you all day. They're already calling me Mrs. Pragin."
    Drew nods, "How many asked you about your lack of ring?"
    Riley sits with him, "Hey. I don't need a ring to know that I love you and I'm so lucky to have you in my life. Do you understand that?"
    He nods, "You still deserve one. I went ring shopping with Lauren earlier."
    She smiles, "Oh my God. That's so sweet."
    He sighs, "Don't get too excited. I saw the perfect ring... but it was crazy expensive."
    She shakes her head, "I don't need a 'perfect' ring."
    He looks at her, "All the other rings looked like crap after that one."
    She rubs his back, "Stop beating yourself up over every little thing."
    He sighs, "There are so many things I can't give you. I wanted this to be different. But it's just another brick wall."
    Riley leans closer to him, "I love you Drew. I don't care if I get a stupid ring or not. You're going to be my husband, and I can't imagine asking for anything more."
    Drew smiles at her, "You're amazing Riley Richmond."
    She grins, "You can't call me that for long."
    He nods, "Well I can for tonight. And I think tonight we should celebrate our engagement some more."
    Drew starts kissing her.
    She smiles, "What does your doctor have to say about having such a crazy sex life?"
    He laughs, "I'm a doctor. Let me worry about it."
    Drew picks Riley up.
    She laughs, "Drew!"
    He takes her to the bedroom.

    Courtyard:
    Ella is frustrated from her day at work.
    She grabs her mail and walks around the pool over towards her apartment.
    Tricia sees her from the window.
    Tricia walks outside, "Hey Barbie."
    Ella stops and turns around, "What can I do for you?"
    Tricia walks towards her, "You can tell me why you're so obsessed with me."
    Ella laughs, "I will never understand your east coast sense of humor."
    Tricia looks at her, "I know you've been stalking me."
    Ella stares, "I have better things to do with my life than to follow you around on your jogs to what I suspect is a sports gear store that you buy your clothes from."
    Tricia nods, "What the hell does that mean?"
    Ella laughs, "Come on. You're one of those girls who always dresses like she's going to a softball game. You have absolutely no pride in your appearance."
    Tricia stares, "Because I don't dress like a whore?"
    Ella walks closer, "You better watch who you're talking to. You do not want to get on my bad side. I've had a long day and you're only making it worse."
    Tricia smiles, "You don't intimidate me."
    Ella nods, "You better back up now, I swear I'll ruin your life."
    Tricia smirks, "That's the difference between you and me. You make threats and promises. I just knock bitches on their asses."
    Tricia shoves Ella who falls backwards into the pool.
    Ella pops up, "You disgusting bitch!"
    Tricia waves, "See you around. Stay out of my life Ella."
    Tricia goes back to her apartment.
    A furious Ella climbs out of the pool.
    Jonah and Violet are walking by.
    Violet looks at her, "Hey Ella."
    Jonah stares, "What was that about?"
    Ella doesn't say anything as she storms to her apartment.

    Apartment 6:
    Jonah and Violet walk inside.
    Jonah looks at her, "It's nice to eat with a girl who actually eats her food. You have no idea how many these LA chicks order a water and salad every time."
    Violet shakes her head, "Oh no. I need a real meal to satisfy."
    Jonah nods, "Nothing wrong with that."
    Violet smiles at him.
    He smiles back, "What?"
    She walks towards him, "I think you drank a little too much."
    He laughs, "I hardly did."
    She looks at him, "Okay sure."
    He laughs, "I didn't."
    The two stare at each other.
    Violet sighs, "I owe you so much Jonah."
    Jonah shakes his head, "No you don't. To be honest, I've loved having your company. You're a pretty great person to have around Violet."
    Violet smiles, "I'm glad."
    The two stare into each other's eyes.
    Violet closes her eyes and leans closer.
    The two kiss.
    Jonah pulls away, "Umm.... goodnight Violet."
    Jonah walks away.
    Violet smiles to herself.

    Apartment 4:


    Ella is drying off.
    Chase looks at her, "Did she really knock you into the pool?"
    Ella stares, "What does it look like?"
    Chase stares, "Why would she do that?"
    Ella nods, "She knows I'm onto her and she's getting nervous. I have her exactly where I want her. I'm getting her fired from her job and sent back where she came from."
    Chase stares, "Does she know you've been looking up on her?"
    Ella sighs, "I don't know."
    He looks at her, "Maybe she has a reason to be paranoid."
    Ella stares, "You are not taking her side."
    He shakes his head, "I'm not. But if you're trying to ruin her life, it would explain why she would feel the need to attack you like that."
    She looks at him, "She's trying to help Amanda ruin my life!"
    He nods, "Do you know that for a fact? Do you have any proof?"
    Ella walks towards him, "What's your point?"
    Chase sighs, "What if you have the wrong person El?"
    Ella looks at him, "I don't think I do."
    He nods, "What if you do? Do you know what that means? You're ruining an innocent woman's life."
    Ella stares, "I don't care. She crossed me now. I'm not letting go of this."
    Ella walks to her room.
    Chase is getting worried.

    The residents sleep through the night.
    A new day begins at Melrose Place.

    Apartment 9:
    David wakes up.
    He rolls around to cuddle with Lauren.
    He sees that she's gone.
    David worries.
    Lauren walks in, "Good morning."
    He looks at her, "You're up."
    She nods, "Yes. I didn't sleep much."
    He sighs, "Why didn't you wake me to keep you company?"
    Lauren nods, "I needed to think about things David. On my own."
    David sits up, "Are you leaving me?"
    Lauren walks towards him, "No. I love you David. I meant what I said yesterday. I'm not giving up on us because of some jerk out there. Your father doesn't scare me and neither does McKellan."
    David sighs, "McKellan is dangerous."
    She nods, "I know. Which is why we need to talk to him. Together."
    David stares, "What?"
    Lauren nods, "If I'm in this with you then I'll be safer. We can get though this as a team."
    He shakes his head, "No way."
    She looks at him, "What choice do we have?"
    David sighs, "I can't let you do this."
    She nods, "You can't control me. If we're going to be together then we have to do this."
    David takes her hand, "I'm scared Laur."
    She nods, "I know."
    The two hug.

    Jewelry Store:
    Drew walks inside as soon as the place opens.
    The salesman recognizes him, "Hello. Good to see you back."
    Drew smiles, "Hey. Do you still have the ring I was looking at yesterday?"
    The salesman nods, "Of course. Have you reconsidered?"
    Drew nods, "I'd like to look into payment plans. I know now that life is way to short to be worried about money. In the end all that matters is I have the best woman in the world."
    The salesman smiles as he goes to get the paperwork.
    Drew wipes the cold sweat off his head.
    He zips up his jacket, "It's freezing in here."
    The salesman shakes his head, "It's quite warm actually."
    Drew is getting dizzy.
    The salesman looks at him, "Do you need to lie down?"
    Drew shakes his head, "No... I..."
    Drew starts to run short of breath.
    He leans on the counter.
    He starts to panic, "I need... I need to go to the hospital-"
    Drew collapses.

    Winding Way





    Everything is fast paced in LA
    People are on edge




    And for some it's life or...


















    ULA:









    Lauren is talking with the nurses at the front desk.
    She is relieved that Michael is going easier on her.
    Suddenly the next patient is rushed in.
    The hospital staff gasp when they recognize him.




    Drew is being rolled in.
    Lauren turns, "Drew? Oh my God."
    She rushes over to check him out.
    The EMT's update her on Drew's status.
    They rush him into a room.
    Lauren follows.









    Apartment 7:









    Riley walks inside.
    She just got home from work.
    She hollers, "Drew? Drew?"
    She looks around.
    Riley walks into the bedroom.
    She then steps into the bathroom.
    Riley paces around.
    She walks over and looks out the window.
    Her cell phone rings.
    Riley answers, "Hey Laur..."
    Riley's face goes pale.
    She has tears in her eyes, "Oh God... I'm on my way!"
    An emotional Riley grabs her purse and runs out the door.















    Courtyard:









    Jonah walks up to the courtyard.
    Tricia steps outside her apartment.
    Riley rushes through.
    Jonah looks at her, "Riley are you okay?"
    She shakes her head, "Not now Jonah."
    Riley hurries past Jonah.
    Tricia walks over, "What was that about?"
    He shakes his head, "I'm not sure. I used to talk to Riley about everything and now she can barely even look at me. I just hope everything is okay."
    Tricia nods, "You're a good ex boyfriend. Most guys would be banging on her door, swearing, and telling everyone her dirty little secrets."
    Jonah shakes his head, "Riley doesn't have any. Besides, we're still friends, or at least I hope that we are. She's really caught up with her new fiance."
    Tricia sighs, "Well maybe it's time you started focusing on yourself."
    He nods, "I guess I've let myself go a bit lately."
    He rubs his stomach.
    She laughs, "Well I can help you with that."
    He shakes his head, "I can't do gyms. I get nervous in front of all those big buff guys."
    Tricia nods, "How about you and I go to a park tomorrow? There is a great trail on Winding Way in Santa Monica. It'd be free of charge."
    He smiles, "Really?"
    She nods, "Sure. You're one of the few down to Earth people here."
    He grins, "I appreciate that. Thank you."
    Tricia smiles, "No problem."
    Tricia walks away.
    Jonah has a smile on his face.









    WPK:









    Ella returns from a business meeting.
    She walks up the steps towards her office.
    The second Ella gets up, she sees her office is trashed.
    Ella takes off her sunglasses and walks inside.
    She hollers for her assistants.
    Ella looks around at the mess.
    One of her male assistants walks in, "Ms. Simms?"
    Ella turns, "What the hell happened in here?"
    He shakes his head, "I have no idea."
    She scoffs, "No idea? My office is glass and see-through. How the hell could you possibly miss someone coming in and trashing the place?"
    He sighs, "I'm sorry, I was working so hard."
    She stops him, "Any idea who could have done this?"
    He stares, "Maybe one of the employees you let go?"
    Ella shakes her head, "I didn't let them go. I fired their asses for failing to keep up on their work with their clients."
    He nods, "I'll call the police if you'd like."
    Ella notices that nothing is missing.
    She takes a deep breath, "I'll handle this. Get back to work."
    Her assistant walks out quietly.
    Ella sighs, "Amanda you clever bitch."





    Courtyard:









    Violet is walking to the laundry room with a basket.
    Chase walks over, "Hey Red."
    She smiles, "Hi. You're the actor right?"
    He nods, "Indeed I am."
    She grins, "That's so cool. Are you dating Ella?"
    He laughs, "Uh... not quite."
    She nods, "Oh sorry. Probably none of my business. And honestly you could do better, I mean look at you."
    Chase laughs, "Okay."
    She holds the basket close to her side.
    He stares, "Doing a boyfriend's laundry?"
    She sighs, "He's not my boyfriend yet."
    He nods, "Yet? Sounds like a work in progress."
    Violet nods, "Jonah is amazing. Any girl would be lucky to have him. But only some girls out there actually deserve him. And if you ask me, I do."
    Chase grins, "You seem to have a high opinion about yourself."
    She shakes her head, "I just know Jonah. I've been living with him for a while now and he just gets me. And I get him in a way that other women can't."
    Chase nods, "Have you told him this?"
    She shakes her head, "I'm sure he already knows."
    Chase sighs, "Looks like everyone is coupling out around here."
    She smiles, "Before you know it, Jonah will be slapping a ring on my finger. Bigger than Riley's."
    He stares, "You don't think you're getting ahead of yourself?"
    She smiles, "You'll see."
    Violet heads to the laundry room.
    Chase watches as his crazy neighbor walks away.





    ULA:
    Riley is walking around the waiting room.
    She can't sit down for a moment.
    Lauren walks over.
    Riley sees her and runs over, "Lauren. What's going on? Where is he? When can I see him?"
    Lauren shushes her, "Take a deep breath Riley."
    Riley shakes her head, "Just tell me he's okay."
    Lauren nods, "He's stable now. Riley we knew this could happen."
    She shakes her head, "I didn't."
    Lauren stares, "Drew said he talked to you about this."
    Riley sighs, "I thought he was preparing me for the worst. I never thought that this would happen within the next couple of days. He's seemed fine."
    Lauren stares, "He's strong and good at putting up a front. But Drew is getting very weak Riley."
    Riley cries.
    Lauren takes her hand, "He's sleeping, but you can come see him."
    Riley and Lauren hold hands as they walk down the hall.
    Lauren leads Riley to his room.
    They open the door.
    Riley cries as she sees Drew sleeping and hooked up to machines.
    Lauren nods, "We can take everything off him tomorrow. We just want to observe him overnight and we'll let you guys know in the morning."
    Riley walks over and sits next to him.
    She takes his hand and kisses it.
    She sighs, "I love you Drew."
    Lauren looks at them and wonders how life can be like this for them.





    The LA residents settle down as the night begins.





    Apartment 9:









    David sits in his apartment.
    The door opens.
    Lauren walks in, "Hey."
    He looks at her, "Hi. How's Drew?"
    Lauren nods, "He's okay. I finally got Riley to come home. We're going back first thing in the morning. She wanted to stay but I knew Drew would hate having her watch him all night."
    David stares, "I'm glad he's going to be okay."
    Lauren shakes her head, "For now. David, he's dying. I mean I don't think Riley has accepted that yet. Drew is not going to be there for her in the long run. It's going to destroy her."
    Lauren has tears in her eyes.
    David puts his arm around her.
    She sighs, "I hate being cold. But I want to shake her and tell her that he is going to die and she needs to prepare herself. Is that heartless?"
    David kisses her, "No. You're amazing Laur."
    Lauren holds him close.
    David looks at her, "I'm going to get out of our meeting with McKellan."
    Lauren shakes her head, "No. I haven't changed my mind about that."
    He sighs, "Lauren."
    She nods, "We can't let him run our lives. I know we have a lot going on right now but I really need to get our life back on track. Please David?"
    He nods, "Okay."
    David and Lauren hold each other close.





    The next morning at Melrose Place.






    Apartment 6:
    Violet wakes up.
    She slowly gets out of bed.
    She rushes over to the kitchen to make Jonah breakfast.
    On her way she stops to watch him sleep.
    Violet is surprised to see that Jonah is gone.
    She hollers, "Jonah?"
    Violet looks around and checks in the bathroom.
    Violet is getting concerned.










    Santa Monica Park:
    Jonah and Tricia are together.
    She looks at him, "Okay we're going to try and jog a mile or two to warm up."
    He laughs, "Funny."
    She nods, "Do I look like I'm kidding?"
    He shakes his head, "Tricia... I can't even walk a mile. I get tired walking up tall flights of stairs."
    She laughs, "Come on Jonah. Don't wuss out on me."
    He laughs, "Ouch."
    Tricia smiles, "Jonah, you are only limited as much as you limit yourself."
    He stares, "That sounds like an inspirational poster."
    Tricia nods, "Come on. You're smart, funny, and you're in okay shape. If you believe in yourself you can accomplish a lot more Jonah."
    He nods, "Okay."
    She takes off her jacket, "Let's do some stretches."
    Jonah notices her fit tight body.
    She nods, "Let's stretch your leg muscles. Get on the ground."
    Jonah laughs, "You sure like to boss me around."
    Jonah sits down.
    Tricia starts showing him some good stretches to start with.
    Jonah stares at her body, "You got be kidding me."
    She looks at him, "What?"
    He shakes his head, "Nothing."
    Jonah tries to ignore her sexy body as he stretches.
    He constantly tries to think of something else to calm himself down.





    Coal:
    David stands behind the bar at Coal.
    He looks at the clock.




    Mr. McKellan arrives on the dot.
    He walks inside and heads towards David.
    He smiles, "A meeting today huh? I hope you are not about to do something stupid David. Because that would be a real shame for you and your pretty girlfriend."
    David stares, "Is that so?"
    McKellan nods, "I always have people tracking her David. Trust me."
    Lauren walks over, "Is that so?"
    McKellan stares, "What the hell is this?"
    David stares, "Sorry."
    Lauren nods, "I don't like to be left out of the loop. Especially when it concerns me. Do you understand?"
    McKellan laughs, "You are in over your head little girl."
    Lauren stares, "First off don't condescend me."
    David laughs.
    McKellan looks at him, "This is funny?"
    Lauren shakes her head, "No it's not. But I'm tired of being used. You want to blackmail David? Fine. But I'm in on this too now. I'm joining your little team."
    McKellan looks at both of them.
    David looks at Lauren.
    McKellan smiles, "You have no idea what you're getting into."
    Lauren stares back at him.





    ULA:
    Riley walks down the hall.
    She heads over to Drew's room.
    He is sitting up a little.
    Riley smiles, "I'm so happy to see your eyes open."
    He stares, "Riley I'm so sorry. I hate that I scared you like that."
    Riley smiles, "Don't apologize. You're okay now and that is all I care about."
    Drew nods, "You're amazing you know that?"
    She sits next to him, "I missed you. I hate not having you next to me when I sleep."
    He grins, "I missed you too."
    Drew takes her hand and kisses it.
    He sighs, "I wanted to put a diamond on your finger."
    She nods, "You mean like this?"
    Riley pulls out the ring that Drew was looking at the day before."
    Drew stares, "Oh my God. How?"
    She smiles, "I went and asked which ring you were looking at. And the owner actually gave us a great deal on it. I told him our story and he asked if you were okay."
    He smiles, "I can't believe it."
    She nods, "People believe in us Drew. Do you feel it?"
    He grins, "I'm starting to."
    Riley hands him the ring.
    Drew looks at him, "I'm tired of wasting time. Riley Richmond, when I get out of this hospital, will you make me the happiest man in the world by making me your husband?"
    Riley smiles, "Yes. I don't want to wait any longer to be your wife."
    Drew puts the ring on Riley's finger.
    The two kiss.





    Apartment 4:
    Ella is getting ready for work.
    Chase looks at her, "Did you find out who trashed your office?"
    Ella sighs, "Someone working for Amanda. Probably Tricia, or Violet, or... I don't know. At this point all I care about is getting back at Amanda. And whoever is working for her is going to pay."
    Chase nods, "Just relax El. Go to work and forget about everything. Amanda is in prison and there is nothing she can do to you from in there."
    Ella smiles, "You're probably right. I got to go. I'll text you later."
    Ella heads out the door.
    Chase is now alone in the apartment.
    His phone rings.
    Chase answers it, "Good timing I guess... she just left... I did what you asked okay? I trashed her office and scared the crap out of her... I hired Ciara, I did a million other things. What else do you want?... I have been working for you and doing everything you say can you please let me off the hook.... hello? Are you still there? Amanda!"

    A dramatic evening in Springfield

    Mindy is holding Bertha, "Oh sweetie, I'm not doing this to hurt you. But I don't believe your mother. I'll find the truth. I promise." She kisses the baby on the head, sits her down and leaves.

    Olivia's Suite:

    There is a knock at the door. Olivia answers, "Hey Mel."
    Mel has Leah's ipod, "Hi. I brought this for Leah."
    "Oh you can come in."
    "Thank you." Mel walks in.
    "The girls are in the other room watching a movie. Can I get you a drink?"
    "Just some water would be nice."
    Olivia hands her a glass, "You okay?"
    "Have you ever spent so much time getting over a man, and then you finally do, and then he just reminds you why you loved him once and then..."
    Olivia finishes her sentence, "You're back to the beginning." Olivia and Mel realize that they have more in common then they thought.

    The Country Club:

    Reva runs into Josh, "Hey Bud. What are you doing here?"
    "I just got out of a meeting. Hey why don't we go have a nice meal on me?"
    "Oh you read my mind. Oh I'm gonna get that...." Reva pulls away.
    Josh is confused, "Hey what's up?"
    "No. No Joshua we can't do this. This has to stop here."
    Reva knows she can't keep doing this.

    Towers:

    Jeffrey gets out of a meeting. Marah is waiting around the corner, "Hello Jeffrey."
    "Marah hey. What are you doing here?"
    "I wanted to see you."
    "Marah, that time, that..."
    ".. Kiss.."
    ".. Was a mistake."
    "Well it didn't feel like one."
    "Marah please just..."
    Marah grabs him, "Look me in the eyes. Just say it. And if you do, we'll never have this conversation again."
    "Say what?"
    "That you stopped loving me."
    Jeffrey is speechless.

    "Really? You two getting along?"
    "Kind of. I mean she gets so mad about my music. I don't know why."
    "Is that it?"
    "Well she won't let me spend much time with my Dad."
    "You can't let her push you around. You need to take control back sweetie." Julie sits next to her.
    Maureen is interested, "How?"
    "You start with the music, play it as loud as you want."
    "Why?"
    "Once she is angry about the little things she won't pay much attention to the small things."
    "Wow."
    "I gotta go. See ya."
    "Bye."

    PART TWO:

    Olivia's Suite:
    Olivia and Mel are laughing. Mel is listening to Olivia's story, "So wait you actually walked in on him and Ava when they were..."
    "Well they were about to!" The two laugh.
    "I can't imagine that!" Mel gets serious, "Was it hard for you?"
    "What? Well I guess a little. I mean I didn't think this would happen. I love Ava I do. But I don't like this side of her she reminds me of...."
    Mel changes the subject, "With Rick it's like everytime I see him it's as if we just broke up all over again. I mean I don't think we could ever fix things now but I still can't shake that feeling."
    "Yeah. I know exactly what you mean."
    "Well atleast you have that now."
    "What? Bill and I aren't..."
    "Olivia. I'm talking about Josh."
    "Oh yeah Josh. I should call him soon."
    Mel stands up, "Well I better get home."
    Olivia jumps up, "Mel?"
    "What?"
    "Could we do this again sometime?"
    "Yeah." Mel smiles, "Yes Olivia I would really like that."

    Dinah covers her ears.
    Maureen doesn't hear.

    Marah won't let go of Jeffrey, "Just admit it Jeffrey!"
    "Marah, I never...." his phone rings.
    "You never what?" Marah begs him to finish but he answers his phone."

    "Joshua, you're with Olivia."
    "Yes I know that."
    "And I'm with Jeffrey."
    "Reva you don't have to catch me up. I know!"
    "Then why Joshua? Why are you and I spening time together?" Reva is crying at this point.
    "Is this about Jeffrey? What did he do?"
    "Nothing! Joshua. We are over. So we need to stop now."
    Reva leaves.

    Alan is in his office.
    Mindy walks in, "Hello Alan."
    "Well Mindy Lewis. What brings you here?"
    "Alan we need to talk about Beth."
    "Mindy, Beth and I are over. There is nothing to worry about."
    "Alan you need to here this!"
    "What?"
    "Alan I have a strange feeling."
    "About?"
    "The baby."
    They sit down, "What about her?"
    "Alan did you mess with the paternity test in any way?"
    "Mindy what are you getting at?"

    "Why is Rick defending her. I thought you told him what she did!"
    "What she did? Rick messed with the paternity test."
    "No he wouldn't!"
    Alan grabs her bags and hands them to his driver.

    "What a surprise."
    "I'm not sure who is her proxy."
    "Well is anyone coming? What about Gus?"
    "He did tell me to give you a message but I'd rather not repeat it."
    Alan rolls his eyes, "Well when Phillip comes here he is going to be surprised."
    Lizzie comes in, "Daddy's coming?"

    "We do!"
    "Not since we came to Springfield! We have been nothing but hermits!"
    "Rocky, can you honestly say that you are ready to tell your family?"
    Rocky hesitates, "No. I'm not. Not yet anyways."
    The two kiss.

    Josh and Reva are sitting at the bar.
    Reva rolls her eyes, "I cannot believe I let you talk me into joining you here. On today of all days! Where's Olivia?"
    "She's at the Spaulding thing."
    "Oh yeah! I was supposed to go to that! You know..."
    "Reva it's important."
    "Joshua if this is about Cassie..."
    "Reva, it's about Sarah."

    The women take their seats.

    "Of course not."

    "Of our so called marriage that ended?"
    "Oh yes, the day I saved your butt. What are the odds?"
    Everyone takes their seats.
    Alan questions everyone, "So Alex you sent them letters?"
    Alex laughs, "No I didn't Alan."

    Harley's House:
    Natalia kisses Gus, "Hey what did I miss?"
    "Nothing. Sydney should be here soon."

    Natlaia feels left out. She goes in the backyard.
    The next thing she knows someone grabs her.

    The Beacon:
    Rocky is looking out the window, "Why is this so difficult. I just want to tell them. Tell them, 'Hey I'm GAY!'"
    Shayne smiles, "Well I think you might want to wait until you tell them you're in town."
    "What about you?"
    "I'm not to nervous. I actually worried about your neice."
    "Marina?"
    "Yeah. She'll have a hard time understanding."
    "They all are. I mean when we met, I had no idea that we already new each other."
    "Sort of yeah."
    Rocky kisses Shaynes hand and holds it, "But I don't care how any of this happened. I'm just glad that it did."
    The two share a passionate kiss.

    Spaulding Boardroom:
    Everyone is in their seats.
    Alexandra goes through the files that were delivered, "Well maybe this will explain something."
    Alan looks over, "What is it?"
    "It says that someone has been investigating Brandon Spaulding."
    "Why would anyone care about our father Alexandra?"
    "Well I don't know, but whoever it is must be the one who set this up."
    "It has to be him."
    Mindy is confused, "Who Alan?"
    A gentleman walks in, "Ladies and Gentleman, C. Spaulding has arrived."
    Everyone looks to the door.
    A shock comes over the crowd as the door opens wide.

    Harley's House:
    Outside Natalia screams. Then she sees his face.
    "Hey Mom."
    "Oh Rafe?"
    Rafe smiles.

    Inside, Gus and Harley turn around. A man carries bags in. A young girl walks in. However she is a young preteen girl around Zach and Jude's age. Harley and Gus step over, "Sydney?" They nod.
    She looks at them like they are crazy, "No. I'm Lynn. Sydney's coming."
    A young child walks in. They run over to her, "Sydney!"
    They look over at Lynn.
    She smiles, "They told us we were getting a new family."
    Gus and Harley are shocked when they here her say we.

    Josh's Car:
    "Reva we'll be at the airport soon."
    Reva hangs up, "I just left Jeffrey a message. I wish I could have told him in person."
    "Reva we need to find the rest of Cassie's diary. It must be at the other hospital."
    Reva is upset, "I know how hard it was for Cassie to not know who her father was."
    "Oddly enough I think the information may have been the last straw."
    "Are you saying Cassie found out who he was before she..."
    "That is exactly what I'm saying. I mean it all makes sense."
    "Oh my God! But who? I mean who could it have been? Something to make her flip out! What name could have horrified her in such a way?"

    Spaulding Boardroom:
    The all rise.
    Alan's mouth drops when he sees her.
    He finally says something, "Oh God! Cassie? You're alive?"
    She walks in, "Hello everyone."
    All of her present friends are in tears.
    She smiles, "I'd like to be addressed as Cassandra. Cassandra Spaulding."
    They all look at each other in confusion.
    She looks at Alan and Alex, "Don't you see it? I'm your little sister."
    Cassandra Spaulding smirks at her family's response.

    An exciting day in Springfield and everyone is in for the shocks of their lives......

    Spaulding Boardroom:

    The entire room of people is in shock.
    Cassandra Spaulding is standing before them, "Alan and Alex. My brother and sister."
    Alex walks over, "You must be joking."
    She hands them files, "I did some investigating. Apparently some time back in the 70's Brandon Spaulding had sex with Sarah Shayne. That would make me your little sister."
    Everyone is speechless.
    She opens briefcase, "Now lets start the vote."

    Harley's House:

    Harley and Gus are holding Sydney but staring at the other girl in front of them.
    Sydney pulls away and runs to the other girl.
    Harley is confused, "So wait you're here to live with us?"
    The girls nod their heads.
    Gus gets Jeffrey on the phone.
    Outside Natalia shoves Rafe, "I can't believe you would scare me like that!"
    "I was just messing around Mommy."
    "Don't Mommy me! You haven't called me in how long?"
    "I've been busy!"
    "Well are you going to stick around?"
    "Maybe."
    Rafe kisses his Mom good bye and walks off.
    Natalia notices there is something darker about Rafe.


    Spaulding Boardroom:

    Cassandra starts, "I now move that Cassandra Spaulding is installed as Chief Exectutive Officer of Spaulding Enterprises."
    Alan rolls his eyes.
    Then a quiet voice says, "I second the motion."
    They all turn and see that it was Lizzie.
    Cassandra looks around the room, "Now lets start the vote. I have my vote for myself. I also contain the proxy of Amanda Spaulding Thorpe and the proxy of India von Holkien."
    Alan is furious, "How on Earth did you manage that?!?"
    She smiles, "Alan shush. Now lets start with Olivia Spencer. My dear friend who I helped protect Emma with."
    Olivia is still in shock, "Are you sure you know what you're doing?"
    Alan looks at Olivia, "Olivia, you will regret it."
    "No Alan! I am sick and tired of living under you. It is time someone took you down a peg. I vote Cassandra Spaulding as CEO of Spaulding Enterprises."
    Cassandra smiles, "Now Elizabeth Spaulding."
    Alan looks over towards her, "Elizabeth, you know what to do."
    "Yes. For the first time I do. Cassie I've caused you're family so much pain. For Tammy... I vote Cassandra Spaulding as CEO of Spaulding Enterprises. I vote twice for Gus."
    Dinah's turn, "I too have a lot to make up for so I'm trusting that.... I vote for Cassandra Spaulding as CEO of Spaulding Enterprises."
    Alan stands up, "What is this? Poor Cassie day!?!"
    Cassandra stops him, "Take a seat Alan!"

    Harley's House:

    Jeffrey is at the table, "Well I've been investigating this and apparently there was some confusion and you two signed to take on all of the Driscoll's children."
    Gus is angry, "We thought they only had one!"
    "Yes I know. Now I looked further to see how I missed it and apparently someone went and tampered with our copy so we would miss it."
    Harley is staring at the girls, "Any idea who it could be?"
    "Well.. Mel said that Mallet's little sister was snooping around last month."
    Harley quickly turns around, "Julie? She wouldn't do that. I was married to her brother."
    "Well you divorced her brother," Gus point out.
    Jeffrey goes through the files, "Did she have any problems with your family?"
    Harley hesitates, "Well she had this thing with Frank but thats.... Well I mean she was engaged to Dylan and she didn't seem to happy that we were together."
    The three wonder if it could be Julie.

    PART TWO:

    Spaulding Boardroom:


    Cassandra continues the vote, "Doris Wolfe, oh happy anniversary you two." She smiles at Doris and Alan.
    Doris fakes a smile, "I vote Alan Spaulding as CEO of Spaulding Enterprises."
    Cassandra doesn't seem to be worried, "Alan Michael Spaulding?"
    "Hello Cassie... Cassandra. I'm sorry but I don't know if you're ready for this. I vote for Alan Spaulding as CEO of Spaulding."
    She looks over at Alex, "Alexandra Spaulding?"
    Alex laughs, "Well not that this show isn't fun but, I vote Alan Spaulding as CEO of Spaulding Enterprises. And Nick's vote as well."
    Mindy's turn, "Alan after this I'm out of your debt. I vote Alan Spaulding as CEO of Spaulding."
    Cassandra goes to the next person, "Blake Thorpe Marler?"
    Blake is crying, "Cassie. Why haven't you been in contact with any of us? Harley and I were so..."
    "Funny I don't remember either of you while I was in Ravenwood. Maybe now you can make it right. You do have Harley's proxy as well correct?"
    Blake takes a deep breath, "I vote for Cassandra Spaulding. And Harley's vote goes to Alan Spaulding. They cancel each other out."
    Rafe walks in, "Am I too late?"
    Alan rises, "Raphael! Come join. Cast your vote." He quickly frowns when he notices the leather jacket and jeans, "Well you look like a young punk we used to know. Right Elizabeth?"
    Lizzie is angered when she realizes he is talking about Jonathan, "How dare you!"
    Rafe laughs, "Chill out! Now, I vote for Grand Daddy Alan as CEO of Spaulding Enterprises."
    Cassandra looks at the results, "Well we're tied."
    All eyes are on Beth Raines Bauer.

    Harley's House:
    Harley talks with Jeffrey, "So can we talk to the judge."
    "Well sure I mean these cases are simple, children are split up a lot. But.."
    They quickly frown when they realize what they're suggesting.
    Jeffrey goes on, "From what I've seen, I don't think Sydney will go anywhere without Lynn."
    Harley looks at Gus.
    Natalia walks in, "Where is she?"
    She sees the two girls and smiles, "Oh."

    Spaulding Boardroom:

    Beth explains her vote, "You two have done horrible things to me. You used me and my child as pawns in your war! Well no more! Something has to change and that change starts now. I vote Cassandra Spaulding as the CEO of Spaulding Enterprises!"
    Alan is furious.
    Cassandra stands up, "It's official I am now CEO of Spaulding Enterprises and have control of the Spaulding Mansion." She looks around the room, "I'll see you at home."
    She walks off.
    They all sit in shock over what has happened.

    Spaulding Mansion: Gus and Natalia are looking at an old photo album of hers, Gus looks at an old picture, "Wow, why did you date me, I looked like such a dork."
    Natalia scoots closer, "That was the style back then. besides I didn't just date you for your looks."
    "Then why?"
    "You were sweet, and no matter how many of our friends and family didn't want us together, we always found a way to see each other."
    The two get closer.
    Alan walks in, "Oh, how are you two this evening?"
    Gus notices Alan's burnt clothes, "What happened to you?"
    "There was a fire at Cassie's, I had to go in."
    Natalia walks over to him, "Oh, my God. You're lucky you're okay. Nick go get Jeremy to bring him something."
    Gus walks out while Natalia and Alan get comfortable, "So Natalia, I saw how close you were with Gus, are you two....?"
    "Alan, I told you I won't be with Gus again, it took me a long time to get over him and I won't go through that again."
    Alan leans closer, "A beautiful woman like yourself shouldn't have to be alone."
    Gus walks in and sees them staring in each others eyes.

    Harley's House: Harley and Dylan are talking over coffee, Dylan gets up to make some more, "So atleast Daisy finally went back to college, I was worried that she would give everything up to stay here with Rafe."
    "Yeah, I'm happy for her but I really miss her."
    "I know, but now we know that she is doing her work so she can come back and be successful, have the life that we never had."
    Harley looks at a picture of Daisy and her, "I am so proud of her, she seems to be on track now. The boys finally have someone to look up to, especially since I haven't been the best role model latley."
    "What are you talking about? You are a great Mom, a great cop, and ...." Dylan looks away.
    Harley looks at him, "... and a bad wife?"
    Dylan looks at her, "I wasn't going to say that."
    "I know you weren't. But my marriage is over, and now I need to help the boys get through it. Now that they're in middle school, they have been trying act mature. But I don't want them to grow up so fast."
    "Like us?"
    "Yeah, I just miss my life a few months ago. Things were great, we were atleast still together. Now I feel alone."
    Dylan grabs her hand, "You will never be alone."
    Harley smiles at him.

    Cedars: Josh and Rick are talking, "She has inhaled a lot of smoke, we are going to keep her over night and run some test."
    Josh looks very concerned, "So, do you know what caused the fire?"
    "Well Josh, that's not our territory but..."
    "But?"
    "Well, the detective said that the fire may have been intentional."
    "Someone tried to kill Cassie?" Josh walks around.
    Rick grabs Josh by the arm, "Josh, Cassie may have tried to kill Cassie."
    Josh's face is struck with shock, and he sits down.

    Hospital Room at Cedars: Beth is standing by Cassie's bed "What are you talking about Cassie, what did you do?"
    "Beth I lied to you, after I switched the paternity test."
    "The paternity test!?"
    "I just couldn't let Alan raise that child after what he did to mine." Cassie eyes close.
    Beth starts crying and beating on Cassie's bed, "No, no, NO! Cassie how could you? NO!" She falls to the floor sobbing.
    "No, this isn't right, the test said that Rick was the father."
    Rick walks in, Beth jumps up and turns to wipe her face, "Beth, are you okay?"
    "Uh yeah, I just feel bad for Cassie, this year has been so hard for her and now all of this."
    Rick looks suspicious, "Beth did Cassie say anything to you?"
    Beth looks down, "No, nothing. Nothing at all. But if she did it would be to wish us luck with our new life together. That no one can take away from us." Beth hugs Rick.

    PART TWO
    Harley's House: Dylan and Harley back out of their almost kiss, Harley runs to the closet, "Oh, I wanted to show you something."
    She returns with a picture, " I found this while I was cleaning out my old boxes."
    It is a picture of Dylan when he was a teenager, "Wow, what a trip down memory lane huh?"
    "Yeah, I remember that I used to take this picture everywhere that I went because I couldn't stop thinking of you." She laughs, "The dramatics of being a teenager right?"
    Dylan looks at Harley as she walks to the couch, "Right."
    "Hey lets watch a movie."
    "Like what?"
    "I don't know." Harley picks up a movie from the shelf, "Oh lets watch this one it's Gus's fav...."
    "Are you okay?"
    Harley sits back down, "Yeah, I just should have given him this when he left."
    Dylan sits by Harley and puts his arm on her shoulder, they begin to kiss when the phone rings.
    Harley backs out, then runs to answer the phone, "Hello?... Yes he is here, do you want to.... Hello? Hello?"
    Harley puts the phone down, "She hung up. Some woman was asking for you. I wonder how she knew to call here."
    Dylan laughs it off, but stares at the phone as Harley makes popcorn.

    Spaulding Mansion:
    Gus interrupts Alan and Natalia, "I'm back!" He hands Natalia a glass of water for Alan.
    Gus sees the nervous looks between the two, "Hey Nat, can I see you in the hall for a second?"
    "Sure." Natalia walks out with Gus.
    Gus shuts the doors behind them then talks to her, "So, you two seem to be pretty close now."
    "Well Alan has been good to me and Rafe. Especially since Daisy left him for college."
    "Yeah well, I just don't want you to get hurt by big Al."
    Natalia walks around looking at pictures, "I know what Alan has done to you and everyone else in Springfield, but I see good in him. Don't you?"
    "Yes, but everytime I trust him, I end up getting let down."
    Alan calls Natalia.
    Natalia walks back, "Gus maybe you should call Harley about Cassie." She walks out.

    Phone Conversation Gus/Harley:
    Harley, "Hello?"
    Gus, "Hey, uh, I wanted to tell you about Cassie."
    Harley's voice grows more concern, "What about her?"
    Gus, "Her house caught fire, she is at Cedars."
    Harley, "Oh no! We'll leave right now."
    Gus, "We?"
    Harley, "Yeah me and Dylan."
    Gus, "Oh. Well okay, bye."
    Gus hangs up before Harley can respond.

    Cedars: Rick walks out to talk to a nurse.
    Beth begins to talk to herself, "You have got this far, Rick can't know about this, he can't know that my baby could be a Spaulding."
    Josh goes to talk with Rick, "Rick do you honestly think that Cassie could have tried to kill herself?"
    "I don't know Josh, this isn't really my area, but I talked with Felicia. She thinks that if Cassie did then well...."
    "Well what Rick?"
    "Josh, Cassie isn't married, and she has a son so, we may need to have her committed to Reavenwood."

    Spaulding Mansion: Alan and Natalia are sitting on the couch, "Natalia it is getting harder to breathe." Alan starts coffing.
    Natalia refills' his water, "Here drink this."
    Alan drinks the water and then sits closer to Natalia. She begins to stroke Alan's head, "Is that better?"
    Alan looks into her eyes and gets closer to her face. She leans in, the two kiss then back out. They look at each other in shock. Natalia stands up, then she throws herself on top of Alan and the two begin to makeout.
