AT THE CORYS, RACHEL IS WALKING DOWNSTAIRS TO THE FOYER. SHE LOOKS TO HER RIGHT AND SEES CORY IN THE LIVING ROOM. HE IS ON HIS PHONE WEARING HIS HEADSETS.
RACHEL: Cory?
CORY CONTINUES WITH WHATEVER HE’S DOING AS HE DOESN’T HEAR RACHEL. RACHEL WALKS IN AND REMOVES HIS WIRELESS HEADSETS.
RACHEL: I suppose you didn’t hear me calling you.
CORY: I’m playing a game.
RACHEL: I was hoping you, Elizabeth and I can go to the Center and have some breakfast.
CORY: Not hungry.
RACHEL: Well what about lunch?
CORY: Mom. I don’t wanna go eat.
RACHEL: You can’t sit here and play your games all day.
CORY: No say what you really mean.
RACHEL: What are you talking about?
CORY: You want me to express how I feel about dad’s death.
RACHEL: You said it not me.
CORY: So you wanna know how I really feel? I feel absolutely nothing.
RACHEL: I don’t think that’s true. I want you to talk to me.
CORY (throwing up his hands): Talk to you about what mom!
RACHEL: You can’t hold this in forever. I know how you had doubts about your father when he came back, but he was a wonderful man, and he loved you.
CORY: Wonderful man? No he wasn’t. And I don’t feel like running down his list of crimes.
CORY GETS UP AND WALKS PAST RACHEL.
RACHEL: Where are you going?
CORY: To get some air. Suddenly it’s stuffy in here.
RACHEL: Cory?
CORY WALKS THROUGH THE FOYER, WHILE ELIZABETH WALKS DOWNSTAIRS.

ELIZABETH: Where are you headed?
CORY: Out. Maybe mom can counsel you.
ELIZABETH: Oh.
RACHEL WALKS IN THE FOYER AS CORY LEAVES.
RACHEL: My son doesn’t want to have breakfast with me at the Center.
ELIZABETH: I’ll go.

AT THE CENTER, STACEY IS STANDING NEXT TO A VENDOR STAND WHILE TALKING ON HER CELL PHONE.
STACEY: Yeah so you received my paperwork? Good. I guess I can start tying up the loose ends in Bay CIty. I can be in L.A. by the end of the week. Thank you.
STACEY TURNS AROUND AND SEES MICHAEL.
MICHAEL: Did I hear right? L.A.?
STACEY: Michael.
MICHAEL: You’re leaving Bay City again? When were you gonna tell me?

AT THE HOSPITAL, BRIANNA APPROACHES CHRISTY’S ROOM. SHE LOOKS INSIDE THE RECTANGULAR GLASS AND SEES CHRISTY, WHOSE BACK IS FACING THE DOOR AS SHE LIES IN BED. BRIANNA REACHES INSIDE THE RIGHT POCKET OF HER SCRUBS AND TAKES OUT THE SCALPEL THEN SUDDENLY, SOMEONE UNWITTINGLY STOPS HER...WITH A BOUQUET OF ROSES.
MATT: Brianna? Hey.
CAMERA PAN ON BRIANNA...SLOW FADE TO THEME SONG.

PART 2

| Kale Browne as Michael Hudson |

| Lesli Kay as Stacey Winthrop |
STACEY: I didn’t think I owed you an explanation.
MICHAEL: Stacey come on, you’re just gonna pick up and leave Bay City after everything we’ve meant to each other?
STACEY: You’re with Donna. I’m not about to come between you two, and there’s nothing left for me here.
MICHAEL: What about your daughter? Your brother?
STACEY: My family is fully grown. They don’t need me.
MICHAEL: So you’re running away? Stacey talk to me.
STACEY: Michael stop it! My life is none of your concern, and I want you to stay away from me.
STACEY WALKS AWAY AS VICKY WALKS UP TO MICHAEL.

| Jensen Buchanan as Vicky Hudson |
MICHAEL: Stacey!
VICKY: Oh dad, you should listen to the woman.
MICHAEL: Oh not now Victoria okay?
MICHAEL TRIES TO WALK PAST VICKY BUT SHE STOPS HIM…
VICKY: Why are you so concerned with Stacey leaving Bay City? As far as I’m concerned it’s good riddance.
MICHAEL TURNS AROUND TO FACE VICKY AND MOVES CLOSER TO HER.
MICHAEL: Are you still blaming her for what happened between you and Jake?
VICKY: She came here because she wanted all of us to know that Lindsay was Jake’s daughter.
MICHAEL: When are you gonna take responsibility for your part in what happened in your marriage?
VICKY: If Stacey and Lindsay hadn’t come here….
MICHAEL: No Victoria! If Stacey and Lindsay hadn’t come to Bay City, it would have been something else that broke the two of you up. There was no trust between you and Jake.
VICKY: And I don’t trust you or Stacey right now. What would mother think if I told her what I heard?
MICHAEL: Don’t tell Donna okay?
VICKY: It was almost like you were pleading with Stacey to stay in Bay City. Why? You still have feelings for her don’t you?
MICHAEL: I’m not discussing this with you, especially not here.
VICKY: It’s true isn’t it? You’re still pining for her.

MEANWHILE, RACHEL IS SITTING ACROSS FROM ELIZABETH AT A TABLE. THE TWO ARE NOT TALKING UNTIL..
RACHEL: You haven’t touched your food.
ELIZABETH: I was hungry when we left the house but I guess I’m not anymore.
RACHEL: I’m...really concerned about your brother...and you.
ELIZABETH: What about? We’ll be fine..
RACHEL: Elizabeth, honey, I want you to talk to me. I hope you feel like you can come to me with anything you’re feeling. I miss your father, and I know you do, too.
ELIZABETH: Do you, mom?
RACHEL: Of course I do. I loved Carl, against everyone’s wishes.
ELIZABETH: And you let him die.
RACHEL: We did everything we could to save his life.
ELIZABETH: Well you didnt do enough.
RACHEL: I can’t believe you’re saying this to me. Carl had an inoperable brain tumor. There was nothing any of us could do. Don’t you think if I could save his life, I would have?
ELIZABETH: No.
RACHEL (shaking her head): Elizabeth honey, we have to stick together. We’re all we have left.
ELIZABETH: No mom, you have Matthew and Amanda. Who do Cory and I have?
RACHEL: You have your mother, and you have Matthew and Amanda, too.
ELIZABETH: They thought I was stupid. They resented us from the day we were born, and they hated daddy, and I think somewhere inside of you, you hated him, too. You let him die so you can get back at him for what he did to you and Mac.
RACHEL: You stop this right now! I loved your father and I miss him, and I will not sit here and listen to you talk to me that way.
ELIZABETH: Well you wanted me to talk to you right? You wanted me to tell you how I felt? Now you don’t wanna hear it!
RACHEL: Elizabeth!
ELIZABETH: Why don’t you find Amanda and Matt? Maybe they’ll talk to you!
ELIZABETH GETS UP AND WALKS AWAY.

| Matt Crane as Matt Cory |
BRIANNA: Matt. Hi. What are you doing here?
MATT: Well I got something for you.
BRIANNA: What am I suppose to do with these?
MATT: Umm..put them in water?
THEY BOTH LAUGH.
BRIANNA: I know...I meant...I’m doing rounds and I have to put these somewhere.
MATT: Come on let’s go the nurse’s station real quick. There should be something that we can put them in there.
BRIANNA: Matt I...this patient is due for her medication. I can’t just leave.
MATT: Okay...alright. I’ll put them in water for you...if you agree to have dinner with me tonight.
BRIANNA (smiling): I’d like that, but what about your work?
MATT: I’m putting that aside for you tonight.
BRIANNA: Wow. Thank you.
MATT: So I’ll fulfill my end of this bargain…
BRIANNA: Yes please, go put those in water before they die right before our eyes.
MATT: Right. So eight o’clock?
BRIANNA: Yes. Sounds perfect.
MATT: See ya then…
BRIANNA SMILES AS SHE WATCHES MATT WALK AWAY, THEN SHE TURNS HER SMILE INTO A FOCUSED, SERIOUS LOOK AS SHE LOOKS AT CHRISTY’S ROOM. SHE WALKS TO THE DOOR OF CHRISTY’S ROOM, LOOKS TO HER RIGHT, THEN TO HER LEFT, AND OPENS THE DOOR. SHE CATCHES THE DOOR FROM SLAMMING. BRIANNA TAKES OUT HER SCALPEL, AND WALKS SLOWLY TOWARD THE BED. THE BODY LYING IN THE BED IS COVERED SO SHE CAN’T REALLY SEE WHO IT IS. SHE RAISES HER WEAPON AND BEGINS TO STAB THE BODY REPEATEDLY. SHE DOESN’T GET ANY REACTION FROM THE BODY, SO SHE LIFTS THE BLANKETS TO ENSURE THAT CHRISTY IS DEAD, BUT SHE SEES THAT IT’S NOT CHRISTY. IT’S SOMEONE ELSE’S CORPSE!
BRIANNA: Oh my God.
SUDDENLY, CHRISTY
WRAPS A STETHOSCOPE AROUND BRIANNA’S NECK FROM BEHIND AND BEGINS TO STRANGLE HER!

FREEZE FRAME ON CHRISTY AND BRIANNA...SLOW FADE OUT...END OF EPISODE 251
BRILLIANT ending. Brianna's in trouble now.
ReplyDeleteSo once again, I loved the scenes of Rachel trying to console her children, but they are so varied in how they're greiving. Cory seems completely detached, and unsure about how he feels about Carl and his past deeds, and Elizabeth blames Rachel for losing Carl. It's a fascinating difference and I'm glad you're taking the time to play it out.
Vicky accusing Michael of still having feelings for Stacey, meanwhile being (as per usual) completely unable to take responsibility for her own feelings and actions. It was a very in-character exchange for me.
Finally, that tense scene with Brianna trying to kill Christy. EXCELLENT stuff. I loved that twist at the end. Christy is smarter than you, Brianna! Watch yourself! If you get out alive, that is!
Fantastic show, you really did a great job playing out that tension and the suspense in the last scene. Great work.
WOW what a twisted ending. I love my girl Christy always a step ahead of the rest buy why would Brianna want to kill Christy? I loved the part where Bri stopped smiling at Matt walking away and then turned focused on her mission. THats a sign of some one who is straight up crazy.
ReplyDeleteAt first there was a stark difference between how Cory and Elizabeth reacted to Rachel. I said ok cool then liz just flipped on her mom. Like I didn't know that she was really feeling like that but I can understand. Shes hurting right now but surely she knows how much Rachel loved her dad. I thought Liz was going to be the cool one and that Cory was gonna be a the tuff one, not wanting to talk to any one. It was nice this storyline came into play again and seeing how the the children are reacting to it.
Bri almost got caught my Matt.
Who is Stacy's brother? Vicky is so childish threatening to tell Donna what she saw with her dad and Stacy. She a hater. SHe has enuff issues in her own life. Micheal is really hurt by Stacy's leaving.
Great cliffhanger, a wist in deed and i can't wait to see what happens next. Bri betta leave my Christy alone!!!!
