AT THE HOSPITAL, THERE IS A SIGN ON AN OFFICE DOOR THAT READS: DR. MAURICE BINGHAM.

| James Black as Dr. Maurice Bingham |
 |
| Denyse Tontz as Michele McKinnon |
INSIDE DR. BINGHAM’S OFFICE, MICHELE SITS ON A BROWN LEATHER COUCH AS SHE LOOKS AROUND AT THE WALLS, WHERE THERE ARE THREE PLAQUES OF DR. MAURICE BINGHAM’S DEGREES. MAURICE SITS ACROSS FROM HER IN A CHAIR.
MICHELE: You...from here? Bay City?
MAURICE: No, my uncle Roy lived here a long time ago.
MICHELE: Oh okay that’s nice.
MAURICE: So, Michele, I’m glad that you agreed to sessions with me.
MICHELE: Yeah I’m...I want to come to a resolution with my sister.
MAURICE: I’m very glad to hear that. What do you want to do to make that happen?
MICHELE LOOKS UP AND AWAY FROM MAURICE.
MICHELE: Oh...I definitely plan to make things right where Bridget’s concerned.

AT THE CORYS, BRIDGET RINGS THE DOORBELL...AND ELIZABETH OPENS THE DOOR.
 |
| Lexi Ainsworth as Bridget McKinnon |
 |
| Kelley Missal as Elizabeth Hutchins |
ELIZABETH: Oh as if my day couldn’t get any worse.
BRIDGET: Is Cory…
ELIZABETH: He’s in the living room.
ELIZABETH GOES TO THE LIVING ROOM AND BRIDGET FOLLOWS.
 |
| Drew Tyler Bell as Cory Hutchins |
ELIZABETH: Hey Cory, your bitch girlfriend’s here.
CORY: Bye Lizzie.
AS ELIZABETH LEAVES THE LIVING ROOM, BRIDGET WALKS OVER TO CORY AND THEY HUG.
CORY: What’s up?
BRIDGET: I...just came to see how you were doing.
CORY SITS DOWN ON THE COUCH, PICKS UP HIS PHONE, AND STARTS SCROLLING.
CORY: I’m good. How about you?
BRIDGET SITS NEXT TO HIM.
BRIDGET: Well I just came from the hospital.
CORY (still looking into his phone): For what?
BRIDGET: I had my OB appointment and then I met with my family. Steven set me up with this new doctor.
CORY: Cool.
BRIDGET: Cory? Are you listening to anything I’m saying?
CORY: Yeah. You said you went to the hospital and you were with your family.
BRIDGET: You haven’t heard a word I’ve said have you?
CORY (putting his phone on the couch): I’m sorry. Tell me what happened.
BRIDGET: If my parents and my brother think I’m gonna talk to some stupid shrink then they’re the crazy ones.
CORY: Well...I mean...don’t you want things to get better between you and Michele?
BRIDGET: I dunno.
CORY: She’s your sister.
BRIDGET: She doesn’t act like it.
CORY: You guys really need to smooth things over. Sisters shouldn’t be fighting like that.
BRIDGET: Tell that to Michele. She’s the one who’s been making my life miserable ever since she came back. I didn’t start all of this.
CORY: Yes...actually you did.

| Bradley Cole as Bradley O' Neill |
VICKY: Well hey there stranger.
THE PERSON IS BRADLEY O’NEILL.
BRADLEY: Hey ya Vick.
VICKY SITS ACROSS FROM HIM.
VICKY: No call, no text since…
BRADLEY: My apologies. I’ve been a little preoccupied.
VICKY: Oh I see. I thought I had lost my touch.
BRADLEY: No not at all. Nothing like that. I really enjoyed myself, even though we were both drunk.
VICKY (chuckling): Right. I don’t know when was the last time I had drunken sex.
BRADLEY: Well it was great.
VICKY (smiling): Likewise, so did you...find what you came for?
BRADLEY PURSES HIS LIPS AND SHAKES HIS HEAD.
BRADLEY: Not yet. How about you? How’s things with your family?
VICKY: Well one of my daughters is in her session with Dr. Bingham.
BRADLEY: Oh. That’s good right?
VICKY: Yeah, but not so good for Donna and Michael...they broke up.
BRADLEY: Who are they?
VICKY: Oh, they’re my parents.
BRADLEY: Wow. Sorry to hear that.
VICKY: They’ve broken up, divorced, gotten back together, and married hundreds of times it seems,
BRADLEY: Quite a history between them.
VICKY: Yeah that may be true, but this time...I think they’ve split up for good.

AT THE LOVE MANSION, MICHAEL AND TYRONE SEE DONNA KISSING DEVIN. DONNA SEES MICHAEL AND TYRONE OUT OF THE CORNER OF HER EYE AND PULLS AWAY FROM DEVIN. DEVIN TURNS AROUND AND SEES THEM.

| Kale Browne as Michael Hudson |
 |
| Henry Simmons as Tyrone Montgomery |
TYRONE: Whoa.
MICHAEL WALKS UP TO DEVIN AND DONNA.
MICHAEL: Wow Donna. You keep it in the family don’t you? You had the father and now you want
 |
| Billy Flynn as Devin Lucas Hutchins |
 |
| Anna Stuart as Donna Love |
DONNA: We’re no longer together. I can kiss who I want.
DEVIN: Maybe I...should leave.
DONNA: I’m sorry Devin Lucas. Go ahead and make that call. The land is yours.
DEVIN: You all...have a...good evening?
DEVIN WALKS FAST OUTSIDE THE DOOR AS HE REALIZES THE AWKWARDNESS OF THE SITUATION. MEANWHILE, TYRONE GETS A MYSTERIOUS TEXT FROM AN UNKNOWN NUMBER THAT READS: I KNOW WHERE MARLEY AND THE BABY ARE. GO TO THE AIRPORT NOW. IF YOU TELL ANYONE, THEY WILL DISAPPEAR AND YOU WILL NEVER FIND THEM. TYRONE LOOKS UP AND MICHAEL AND DONNA, WHO ARE BICKERING, AND SNEAKS OUT.
DONNA: That was a business meeting. I just thought I’d...seal it with a kiss.
MICHAEL: You can kiss whoever you want Donna but at least you could have puckered up to someone more age appropriate.
DONNA: What I do and who I’m with is none of your business.
MICHAEL SUDDENLY PULLS DONNA CLOSER AND KISSES HER.
CAMERA PAN ON MICHAEL AND DONNA...SLOW FADE TO THEME SONG.

PART 2
BRADLEY: Why?
VICKY: My mother just seemed tired of it all. The back and forth, the pushing and the pulling. Breaking up with dad, and getting back together. I guess...love just isn’t enough sometimes.
BRADLEY: Seems like it’s all just coming apart for you at all sides. If there’s anything I can do.
VICKY: No...just listening is enough. I mean...you’re a complete stranger practically and here I am dumping all my problems on you.
BRADLEY: No it’s okay. It kinda gets my mind off of mine.
VICKY: You mean your wife.
BRADLEY: Yeah.
VICKY: Is it gonna be difficult for you to face her?
BRADLEY (sighing): Yeah in a way. I still love her, and I don’t want to…
VICKY: Don’t wanna what?
BRADLEY: Let her go again.

| Alice Barrett as Frankie Frame |
MEANWHILE, FRANKIE WALKS INTO THE CENTER, LOOKS AROUND, AND FACES BRADLEY AND VICKY’S DIRECTION. BRADLEY DOES NOT SEE FRANKIE AS HIS BACK IS FACING FRANKIE’S LINE OF VISION.

BRIDGET: How can you say something like that?
CORY: Did you forget? You did some messed up things to Michele...and me.
BRIDGET: Really? Is that how it’s gonna be?
CORY: Be like what? You have to be honest about what you did. That’s why Michele’s all mad at you.
BRIDGET: I can’t believe you’re taking her side!
CORY: I’m not taking any sides okay. You both did some things to each other and you need to chill with all of that and start being sisters again. I think talking to someone might help.
BRIDGET: Michele’s talking to Dr. Bingham.
CORY: Well at least she’s trying. What’s your excuse?
BRIDGET: I don’t wanna talk to some stranger about my family problems, and I’m not going to.
CORY: Well that’s gonna make you look like the bad guy. I think you should think it over. I really think it could help you and Michele make up.
----
MAURICE: What do you mean by that?
MICHELE: I mean...that I wanna make up with her; be sisters again. Like the way we used to be.
MAURICE: That sounds good. Why do you want to make up with her after all this time? I mean, ever since you came back to Bay City you’ve been wanting to get back at her. Why the change of heart?
MICHELE: Well duh, she’s my sister. This whole revenge thing has torn our whole family apart. My parents split up. My grandparents are fighting. It’s been one big mess, and I wanna do my part to try and fix some of it.
MAURICE: So are you...doing this for your family? Or for yourself?
MICHELE: Both.
MICHELE GETS UP, FOLDS HER ARMS, AND PACES, AS MAURICE FIXES HIS EYES ON HER.
MAURICE: I think we should work on you first. We need to get to the bottom of what’s bothering you; what brought you to this point. I think if we can get to the core of that, then we’ll be on our way to a better place.
MICHELE STOPS, LOOKS AT DR. BINGHAM, AND SMILES.
MICHELE: I completely agree.
----
MICHAEL IS KISSING DONNA, BUT THEY EACH STOP AND PULL AWAY FROM EACH OTHER. THEY BACK AWAY AND JUST STARE AT EACH OTHER.
DONNA: Michael…
MICHAEL: You were right.
DONNA: About what?
MICHAEL: We can’t. It’s not enough.
DONNA: I...I will always love you Michael. I love you with everything I’ve got I just...I just don’t have anything left.
MICHAEL: Neither do I.
DONNA: So what are you going to do? Stacey’s already left. You’re gonna go after her?
MICHAEL: I’m gonna...pour all my time...into finding Marley and our grandson.
DONNA: But you have no idea where she is.
MICHAEL: I’ve gotten some leads, and I’m gonna follow them.
AS MICHAEL TURNS AROUND TO WALK AWAY, HE GETS A CALL ON HIS CELL PHONE, AND HE ANSWERS.
MICHAEL: Tyrone. Where? Toronto? Okay. That’s my next stop. We’re gonna bring her and the baby home.
MICHAEL HANGS UP AND TURNS TO DONNA.
DONNA: Is that news about Marley?
MICHAEL: That was Tyrone. He says Marley’s in Canada. She took the baby out of the country. I’m gonna go bring em home.
MICHAEL TURNS AROUND TO LEAVE BUT HE STOPS.
DONNA: Michael? Be safe. Please.
MICHAEL NODS HIS HEAD, TURNS AROUND AND LEAVES.

ON A PLANE, TYRONE PRESSES END CALL ON HIS CELL PHONE, AND PLACES IT IN HIS POCKET.
TYRONE: I did what you asked. I lied to Michael for you. I told him that Marley’s in Canada.
A WOMAN LIFTS UP HER BIG, GREEN HAT UP. IT’S CECILE.

| Nancy Frangione as Cecile De Pouglinac |
CECILE: Good.
TYRONE: Reginald better not hurt my son or my wife.
CECILE: Trust me, Reginald’s not gonna be a problem. I’ll tell the pilot we’re ready to go. Let’s go see Marley and your son.
CECILE GETS UP.
TYRONE: You better not be taking me on a wild goose chase.
CECILE LOOKS AWAY FROM TYRONE AND HAS A MOMENT.
CECILE: I...I kept Marguerite away from her father, and now she resents me for it.
CECILE THEN SEEMINGLY SNAPS OUT OF HER EMOTIONAL MOMENT AND REFOCUSES.
CECILE: Consider this my way of...making amends.
TYRONE: So what are we waiting for? Let’s go to Tanquir and get my family,
FREEZE FRAME ON TYRONE...SLOW FADE OUT...END OF EPISODE 260
