Amanda is in her office, sitting at her desk on the phone.
Amanda: You’re coming back to Bay City? When? Oh wow that soon. Of course. Mom will be thrilled. Me, too little brother. I sure could use the help at CP.
Iris walks in as Amanda looks up at her, and finishes up her conversation.
Amanda: I have to go. A vulture just flew in.
Iris: How apropo that you use that metaphor.
Amanda: Coming to get the rest of your things?
Amanda focuses on her monitor as she starts to type something.
Iris: I gave you a chance to work with me when I took over Cory Productions, and you called the police.
Amanda: I did what was right.
Iris: You betrayed me.
Amanda: Shouldn’t you be answering to accessory charges?
Iris: That’s part of why I came to see you; to tell you the wonderful news.
Amanda: You’re going to jail? That would be great.
Iris: No. I’m not. Nice try, but did you really think you were gonna get rid of me that easily?
Amanda: I guess we were as effective as roach spray.
Iris: You making all these animal and pest references toward me are not becoming.
Amanda: They fit though, just like the orange jumpsuit you’re gonna be wearing.
Iris: Oh little sister, that won’t be happening.
Amanda: Did you use your Spaulding money to pay someone off?
Iris: Money was not necessary. Apparently the evidence you turned over to the police wasn’t enough. They dropped the charges.
Amanda looks up from her monitor as Iris has gotten her attention.
Amanda: You’re lying.
Iris: It looks like you, Matthew, Paulina, and Michael are stuck with me.

AT THE WEDDING...Michael and Donna are sitting together in the pew looking up front at Kirkland and Charlie at the altar.
Michael: Look at our grandson.
Donna: He’s just as handsome as you were...at our second wedding.
Michael: And the first, third and fourth.
Meanwhile, Kirkland and Charlie are hand in hand, facing each other, with Frankie, Felicia, Lindsay, and Stacey on Charlie’s side, and Steven and Grant on Kirkland’s side as Minister Jones starts to marry them...as Eric Stenbeck creeps into the foyer, staring directly down the aisle at the couple.
Minister Jones: I’m not gonna go through all the formalities, and all that other stuff. We all know why we came here today in the presence of God. We want to see Kirkland Harrison and Charlotte Frame-Winthrop get married. I have to ask the question though. If there’s any reason that these two shouldn’t be joined together, speak now, or forever hold your peace.
Eric then flashes back to the flash drive he has of Kirkland sleeping with the bartender at Genoa City Athletic Club. Nobody responds, so the minister continues. Meanwhile, Cory and Bridget, who are sitting together on the same side of Kirkland’s family, steal a short little conversation started by Bridget putting on her lip gloss.
Cory: Come on what are you doing? Put that thing away.
Bridget: A girl’s gotta look good.
Cory: You look fine.
Bridget: This is my favorite. I almost left it in my room.
Cory: Oh no, that would’ve been horrible.
Bridget: You think you’re funny right? I got the weirdest feeling when I was coming downstairs from my room.
Cory: Oh I know. You got your lip gloss out of your room but forgot your lips.
Bridget: No, I’m being serious. It’s probably the same feeling you get about Elizabeth.
Cory: That twin feeling?
Bridget: Yeah. It was like Michele was close by.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
AT THE MCKINNONS...Michele has just learned that she can’t read. Rachel and Carl try to ease her pain as Rachel sits next to Michele. Carl is sitting in the adjacent chair.
Rachel: I agree with Carl, but I bet it’s just temporary.
Carl: You’ve had a traumatic injury. You were struck by a vehicle.
Michele: People get hit by cars all the time. They can still read! Can I...have a moment alone?
Rachel: Sure...sure you can.
Carl: We’ll be right outside if you need us.
Michele: Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Hutchins...so much.
Rachel and Carl walk out the door, but Rachel leaves her cell phone on the coffee table, and Michele notices it.
Carl: Something’s a little off Rachel. Something isn’t right.
Rachel: I agree. I’m concerned about her.
Carl: I am, too.
Rachel: Perhaps we should stay with her until Jake and Vicky come home.
Michele opens the door and hears what Carl and Rachel are saying.
Carl: That might take a while.
Rachel: Kirkland and Charlie’s wedding is today isn’t it?
Carl: Yes.
Rachel: They’re gonna have reception at Tops. Yeah Jake and Vicky might not be home for hours.
Michele slowly shuts the door.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
AT THE CHURCH...Kirkland and Charlie have already exchanged rings, and now Minister Jones asks Kirkland and Charlie the question they’ve been waiting to hear.
Minister Jones: Do you, Kirkland Harrison, take Charlotte Frame-Winthrop to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold from this day forward, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, forsaking all others, till death do you part?
Kirkland: I do.
Minister Jones: Do you, Charlotte Frame-Winthrop, take Kirkland Harrison to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold from this day forward, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, forsaking all others, till death do you part?
Charlie: I do.
Minister Jones: By the power vested in me, and the State of Illinois, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You can kiss her.
Kirkland caresses Charlie’s cheeks and kisses her. Meanwhile, Eric is outside in the foyer watching and utters “liar” to himself.

AT CORY PRODUCTIONS…
Amanda: I had more than enough proof to put you away.
Iris: I stopped there on the way to seeing my granddaughter Sarah. They couldn’t prove that I knew what Tucker was doing.
Amanda: What about the money transfers?
Iris: I had no way of knowing that Tucker was going to buy poisoned paint. All I knew was that he was doing a reality show. I had nothing to do with what happened.
Amanda: Well don’t think about trying to take over Cory Productions again, because I won’t let you.
Iris: That’s another reason why I came.
Amanda: It’s not for sale.
Iris: I have no interest in taking over daddy’s company.
Amanda: I have to go meet Allen.
Amanda walks to the door.
Iris: Don’t you wanna know what I found out while I was out of town?
Amanda: Let me guess. You fed on carcasses.
Iris: Hmm on the vulture thing again huh? Unfortunately I didn’t scavenge for the info I found.
Amanda: For God’s sake just spit it out!
Iris: Okay here it goes. Martin Hudson is the Cory heir.
Amanda: He’s dead. He and Michael were twins.
Iris: Daddy only fathered one of them, and it was Martin, not Michael. Michael is as much a Cory as a...vulture.
Amanda: So what does all this supposed to mean? If Martin was the Cory heir and he died, it passed onto Michael because he wasn’t married, and he didn’t have any children.
Iris: And you’re sure about that?
Amanda: So...the Cory heir is still out there, and you know who it is, don’t you?
Iris: No sis, I don’t, but what I do know, is that I will not forget how you betrayed me. You’ll wish you didn’t.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OUTSIDE THE MCKINNONS HOUSE…
Rachel: I’m not even sure what we’re gonna tell Cory when we get home.
Carl: We’re gonna have to make him understand why. We would have put him in danger if we told where you had taken me.
Rachel: Now that it’s public knowledge that Reginald’s alive, he’s out of danger. He might be a little more accepting of why I couldn’t tell him where you were.
Carl: We have to call him.
Rachel: Of course. Wait a minute where’s my phone?
Carl: Let’s check inside.
Carl and Rachel go inside and Rachel retrieves her cell phone, but they don’t see Michele. Rachel calls out for her, and no response.
Rachel: My God where is she?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AT TOPS...The elevator doors open and Amanda, dressed in a short, off white dress and matching open toed heels, walks in. She sees all the wedding guests have all arrived and settled in at their round tables. The four level wedding cake is on a table next to the terrace. She spots Allen and walks over to him. Allen is at a table with Michael and Donna.
Allen: Hey babe. So glad you didn’t get stuck at the office.
Amanda: Me, too. Donna, Michael.
Donna: Hi there Amanda. You missed a wonderful ceremony.
Amanda: I wish I could have made. Michael, may I talk to you for a moment?
Michael: Sure.
Michael gets up and he and Amanda go to a semi- private spot.
Michael: What’s up?
Amanda: Iris came by the office. She knows the truth.
Michael: About Martin?
Amanda: Yes, and she hinted that Martin may have a child or a wife.
Michael: If they’re out there, then they would inherit everything that Mac left for my brother.
Amanda: Including Cory Productions.
-------
Meanwhile, Cory and Bridget are sitting together.
Cory: Your brother and my niece look so happy.
Bridget: They sure do. I hope I can be as happy as they are. I’m going to the ladies’ room. I’ll be right back.
Then Cass goes to the center of the room and asks for everyone’s attention.
Cass: It’s time for the bride and groom’s first dance.
Kirkland takes Charlie’s hand and escorts to the center of the floor as “If I Didn’t Have You” by Amanda Marshall starts to be played. As the song plays, the newlyweds look in each other’s eye the whole time. For the other couples...
Cass and Frankie are dancing together...
Frankie: I don’t want to wake up. These last few days seem like a dream.
Cass: It’s real baby.
Frankie looks over at John and Sharlene...
Frankie: I want everybody to be this happy.
John looks at Sharlene, he extends his hand so they can dance together, but she grabs her purse, gets up, and walks away from the table. She walks by Felicia and Mitch, who are dancing together. Mitch watches Sharlene, Felicia looks at a dejected John, and then they look back at each other.
Gregory and Lindsay, while dancing, also saw what happened between John and Sharlene.
Lindsay: Wow. I hope your parents work things out.
Gregory: Trust me it’s...probably for the best.
Lindsay: Maybe you should go after her.
Gregory: No I...think she should be alone.
Jake and Vicky sit at their table.
Vicky: So...you don’t wanna dance?
Jake: Vicky I’m not doing this here.
Vicky: Doing what? I just asked you to dance.
Jake: I still don’t trust you. I don’t know if I ever will.
Vicky: You want to throw away everything we’ve meant to each other?
Jake: You did that when you decided to keep the truth from me about Lindsay.
Vicky: You’re never gonna forgive me for that are you?
Vicky gets up and leaves the table.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sharlene approaches the bar near the elevator.
Sharlene: Double scotch please; on the rocks.
The elevator doors open and Michele, dressed in blue jeans, white sneakers, and a blue t-shirt, walks out. She notices Cory alone and smiles. Bridget unknowingly walks right by Michele, and Michele hides behind a large plant. Bridget suddenly stops.
Bridget: Oh my God. That feeling again.
Bridget continues to walk through the dancing couples, Michele re-emerges and decides to follow Bridget, but stops when Bridget joins Cory on the dance floor.
Bridget: I got that feeling again.
Cory: The one you were talking about at the church?
Bridget: Yep. It’s like I feel Michele. Almost as if she’s here.
A dejected Michele backs away, turns around, and goes to the elevator. Vicky comes up behind her.
Vicky: Hi. Can I help you? Are you looking for someone?
Michele is seemingly frozen, as she hears her mother’s voice for the first time in a very long time.
