AT TOPS...Cass is talking to Frankie near the elevator…
Frankie: I’m worried about Aunt Sharlene.
Cass: I could tell.
Frankie: I’ve never seen her like that before.
Cass: She’s been through a lot.
Frankie: I know. That’s why I’m gonna be there for her.
Cass: Do you think that John was telling the truth about not having an affair with Felicia?
Frankie: You know what, Cass, I believe him. It was over twenty years ago that it happened, but yet it’s still affecting them today.
Meanwhile, Steven is at the bar nearby, and he’s sending a text to Joy…
Steven’s Text: I wish u were here w/me. It’s been a great and wild day at my little brother’s wedding. Hope ur well. Talk 2u soon...hopefully.
Kirkland approaches him.
Kirkland: You heard about what happened at the house?
Steven: No. What?
Kirkland: Someone broke in. They’re at the police station now.
Steven: Wow I gotta get down there.
Kirkland: Guess you’re too busy texting that mystery girl you were telling Jake and me about. I see that twinkle in your eye. You like her a lot don’t you?
Steven: Where my cousin?
Kirkland: Which one? You’re, like, related to everybody in this town. Gregory left with his mom.
Steven: So full of jokes on your wedding day. Your wife, my cousin, Charlie.
They both turn and look over at Charlie and Stacey.
Charlie: Where did Lindsay go?
Stacey: She went with Gregory to take Sharlene home. You must feel like you’re on top of the world right now.
Charlie: I am. I really am. I’ve married the man I love.
Stacey: I’m so happy for you. Look at my niece.
Charlie: You know I always thought that you and Uncle Derek were gonna be married forever.
Stacey: Things just didn’t work out.
Charlie: Is it because...you’re still in love with Jake? Where did he go?
Stacey: I think someone broke in their house. He went to the police station with Vicky.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POLICE STATION...The McKinnons, along with Rachel and Carl, have just discovered that the girl who ransacked the McKinnons house, is their daughter Michele.
Carl: Jake the results from your paternity test with Steven was cross referenced with Michele’s DNA.
Rachel: We stopped in Oakdale and Dr. Hughes ran the test. It came back positive. This girl is your daughter.
Jake, Vicky, Bridget, Cory and Toni are all shocked.
Vicky: This...this can’t be true. She was brain dead.
Carl: Reginald’s lackey, Margaret Allen…
Jake: Margaret Allen? She used to work for Jordan Stark at Lumina. What did she do to…?
Rachel: She gave Michele a drug to make it appear that she was brain dead.
Vicky: We all thought she died. Totally something Reginald would orchestrate.
Carl: He’s the Head of the Lumina Foundation now. He had to resources to save Michele.
Jake: It’s starting to all make sense.
Michele: I promise I didn’t tell Grandpa Reginald about the key.
Vicky: Only the family knows where the spare key is.
Vicky puts her right hand near her mouth as her eyes well up as she slowly approaches Michele.
Cory: Mom, dad? Are you absolutely sure about this?
Rachel: Yes dear. She is Jake and Vicky’s daughter.
Bridget: My God.
Vicky: Take those cuffs off of her.
Toni: So I take it you’re not pressing charges.
Vicky: We’re taking...our daughter home.

PART 2
AT THE MCKINNONS…
Jake, Vicky, Bridget and Michele walk into a terribly messed up living room.
Jake: What the…?
Vicky: Look at this place. This is horrible.
Jake walks over to the mantel and notices Bridget’s picture covered in cracked glass. He turns to his family to say something, but decides not to.
Bridget: Mom. There’s something I need to tell you.
Donna, Michael and Steven walk in and see the ransacked living room, and inadvertently interrupt Bridget. Donna steps over a coffee table leg trying to find a solid place to stand.
Donna: Victoria what happened here? Are you alright?
Vicky: Yeah we’re...gonna be fine.
Donna: You all can’t stay here.
Vicky (looking around at the mess): You’re right about that.
Michael: Was there a tornado warning I didn’t receive?
Donna: There’s plenty of room at the mansion for all of you. We’ll hire cleaners to clean this and you can stay with your father and I in the meantime. Did they find the animal who did this?
Michele steps up.
Michele: That animal...is me.
Donna: Who are you? Why are you here? You should be in jail.
Michael: I take it the police are on their way.
Vicky: No we’re not pressing charges.
Donna: This girl ransacked this house. She needs to pay for that!
Michael: Why don’t you tell us who you are, and we’ll take you to the police station.
Jake: There’s not gonna be a need for any authorities Michael.
Steven: Do you know her or something? Mom?
Vicky looks at Michele with pride.
Vicky: Oh we know her. I carried her for nine months.
Michael: What are you talking about Vick?
Jake: This girl is Michele.
Donna: Michele? No. That’s impossible.
Vicky: Reginald got involved. He changed her face because he planned to keep her away from us.
Michael: You’re saying this girl is my granddaughter?
Vicky: Yes.
Jake: Carl and Rachel got proof before they brought her home. She was being treated at the same clinic that Carl was. This is our little girl.
Bridget: So glad to have my sister back.
Bridget hugs Michele and Michele, who is facing Jake, notices Michele’s less than enthused look.
Bridget: Why did you do this? Why did you ransack the house?
Michele: I can’t explain all of that now.
Bridget: And you broke my picture.
Donna notices Bridget’s picture on the mantel covered in broken glass.
Donna: You did that? Why did you break Bridget’s picture?
Jake interjects because he has suspicions as to why Michele did what she did.
Jake: That’s not important right now. I just want to cherish that we have our daughter back. Our whole family’s back.
Michele: Dad is Kirkland coming here?
Jake: The reception should be coming to an end soon.
Vicky: I told him to stay there with Charlie.

TOPS...Mitch and Felicia are sitting at their table, and Felicia looks at Mitch.
Felicia: They look so happy.
Mitch: I remember when we first got married.
Felicia: The happiest day of our lives...that day.
Mitch: Second to the day we found out about children.
Felicia: Those kids are on top of the world today. It would seem that nothing can tear them apart.
Mitch: But it’s only the beginning for them. As you and I both know, it takes a lot to make a marriage work, and they will soon find out the same thing.
Meanwhile, Grant talks to Kirkland...
Grant: You look really really happy son.
Kirkland: I am dad. I love her, and we’re married now. It’s like it’s not even real.
Grant: I’m glad that...Scott decided not to disrupt your wedding day.
Kirkland: He saw how happy that Charlie makes me. What happened between me and him is in the past. I’m not going back there, and I’m not going back to the guy that first came back to town.
Grant: I know I had a lot to do with that. All the tricks I pulled to get custody of you when you were young. I was too selfish to realize the toll it took on you.
Kirkland: Just like Scott’s in the past, so is all the things that you did. You have Charlie to thank for that.
Grant: I’m glad I’ve got my son back. There’s just one more thing missing in my life.
Grant looks over at Paulina and Jack.
Kirkland: Charlie and I have got a plane to catch soon for our honeymoon.
Frankie, Charlie, and Cass approach them.
Frankie: He’s right. Okay everyone! The bride and groom have to go on their honeymoooon!
An aisle is made with people on each side. Cass gives everyone rice as Frankie directs Kirkland and Charlie to go to the beginning of the aisle. Cass, Frankie and Felicia go to the end of the aisle next to the elevator.
Cass: Come on kids!
Kirkland and Charlie walk arm in arm down the aisle as everyone lightly tosses rice over their heads. They get to the end near the elevators where Cass, Frankie and Felicia await them. Frankie and Felicia hug Charlie and Kirkland. Cass kisses Charlie on her left cheek and hugs her, and shakes Kirkland’s right hand. The elevator doors open, and Cass, Frankie, and Felicia’s joys quickly turn to horror.
Felicia: What the hell are you doing here?
Cass: This can’t be.
Felicia, Cass, and everyone else, are shocked as Christy Carson and her son, Eric Stenbeck, have entered the reception.
Christy: Wow! Looks like we missed a wedding.
