| Linda Dano as Felicia Gallant Blake |
MITCH: Do you want some tea?
FELICIA: I don’t want any tea! I want to do what’s right.
MITCH: And we are.
FELICIA: You are acting awfully cavalier about this. I killed Christy’s baby. I was driving drunk!
MITCH: You made a mistake. Should you let that destroy your whole life?
FELICIA: No but…
MITCH: Well then. Let me and Devin handle things. You should get packing.
FELICIA: For what?
MITCH: As soon as Devin gets back, you’re leaving.

AT THE LOVE MANSION, DONNA SITS ON THE COUCH NERVOUSLY AS SHE FLASHES BACK…
 |
| Anna Stuart as Donna Love |
(EPISODE 255)
MICHAEL: Are you saying you don’t love me anymore?
DONNA: I’m always going to love you Michael. You’re the father of my girls, but I can’t continue like this. Wondering if you...if you’re in love with Stacey. After what Victoria just told me it...it’s clear that I can’t be involved with you romantically anymore. If this was say, twenty years ago, I probably would have fought harder, but I just don’t have the energy now. If you want to be with Stacey, go.
MICHAEL: Donna.
DONNA DOES NOT REPLY AND TURNS HER BACK TO MICHAEL, WHO WALKS OUT THE FRONT DOOR. DONNA’S EYES START TO WELL UP. SHE PLOPS ON THE COUCH AND STARTS TO CRY.
SOMEONE RINGS THE DOORBELL AS DONNA FLASHES BACK TO THE PRESENT. SHE WIPES HER EYES AS SHE WALKS TO THE DOOR.
DONNA: Michael?
SHE OPENS THE DOOR AND TYRONE WALKS IN, AND THE DOOR IS LEFT OPEN AS THE TWO STAND IN THE FOYER.
DONNA: Tyrone? What’s going on? Is everything okay?
TYRONE GETS A NOTIFICATION ON HIS CELL PHONE, AND HE SHOWS DONNA.
DONNA: What? An Amber Alert? Tyrone what is going on? Did Marley? Oh my God. This day just gets better and better.
DONNA FLASHES BACK TO THE PRESENT AS THE SOUND OF THE DOORBELL SNAPS HER OUT OF HER MEMORY.
DONNA (Walking to the door): I hope this is good news.
DONNA OPENS THE DOOR AND IT’S DEVIN.
 |
| Billy Flynn as Devin Lucas Hutchins |
DONNA: Hi.
DEVIN: Hi.
DONNA: What are you doing here?
DEVIN TAKES OUT PAPERS FROM HIS BRIEFCASE.
DEVIN: Umm...we were supposed to finalize the purchase of the Harbor Club land.
DONNA: Oh...Oh I’m sorry come on in.
DEVIN FOLLOWS DONNA INTO THE LIVING ROOM WITH THE PAPERS AND A PEN.
DEVIN: All I need is your John, oh sorry, Joan, Hancock, and I will call and have the money transferred.
DONNA STOPS AT A TABLE, TAKES THE PEN, AND SIGNS THE PAPER.
DONNA: Here’s your stupid deed. You can have that land!
DEVIN: Donna? Are you okay?
DONNA: No...nothing is okay. Everything is such a mess. My family...is a mess. My daughter kidnapped her my grandson. We have no idea where they are.

MICHAEL: Where the hell is she?
TYRONE: I dunno. I know this, I’m not gonna stop until I find them.

PART 2
FELICIA: I don’t like this.
MITCH: Babe. I’m trying to save your life. Think of everything you would lose if you were arrested for DUI, leaving the scene of an accident, and vehicular homicide.
FELICIA: I’ve already...lost everything.
MITCH: What do you mean?
FELICIA: Lorna went back to London, then I got a call from Rachel.
MITCH: What was that about?
FELICIA: She asked me why I accepted Iris’s offer.
MITCH: Honestly I...don’t think you really owed her an explanation. You had to do what was best for you.
FELICIA: She said I betrayed her and her family, and you know I would never do something like that. This wasn’t personal at all.
MITCH: Rachel should have understood that.
FELICIA: She said we were no longer friends.
MITCH: I don’t think she meant that. Maybe it’s her grief talking.
FELICIA: That hurt deeply. Then I saw you with Sharlene. And...and….
MITCH: You took a drink.
FELICIA: I had been feeling the urge for weeks. I just got pushed over the edge. I don’t know where it came from. Then I went driving and I...I…
MITCH FACES FELICIA PUTS HIS HANDS ON HER SHOULDERS.
MITCH: Felicia don’t start. It was a terrible mistake.
FELICIA: A mistake that affected other people’s lives. I can’t live with myself knowing that I killed Christy’s baby. Take me to the police.
MITCH: Let’s...let’s wait until Devin gets back. I have it all figured out.
FELICIA: I’m not leaving the country. I’m turning myself in.
MITCH: I guess you forgot about the time you spent in jail when Nicole Love was letting you take the fall for Jason Frame’s murder. Do you want to be told when to wake up? When to eat? When to use the bathroom? Do you want to be fighting for survival every day? No I don’t think you do. I’m trying to spare you that. As soon as Devin gets back, we’re taking you to the airport, and you are leaving the country...okay?
FELICIA, SEEMING TO REMEMBER THE TIME SHE SPENT IN JAIL, NODS HER HEAD IN RELUCTANT AGREEMENT WITH HER HUSBAND.
----
DONNA: Michael and I broke up.
DEVIN: Wow. I’m sorry to hear that.
DONNA: No don’t be. It’s been years in the making. You might know Stacey right?
DEVIN: Lindsay’s mother?
DONNA: Yeah...Lindsay’s mother. You know Michael and I were gonna adopt a son, and she fought like hell to return him back to his biological family.
DEVIN: That sucks.
DONNA: She claims to do things in the name of doing what’s right. You know what else she did?
DEVIN: What?
DONNA: She also represented Jamie when he and Vicky were fighting over custody of Steven. Jamie won.
DEVIN: So you’re blaming Stacey for your family’s turmoil?
DONNA: No. No that’s not what I’m saying. Michael is in love with her. I’ve known it for weeks. He kept denying it, so I broke up with him. He’s out looking for Marley.
---
IN A CAR, TYRONE IS DRIVING WITH MICHAEL IN THE PASSENGER’S SEAT.
MICHAEL: This has Reginald’s dirty paws all over it. I think he did something to Marley.
TYRONE: Hell no. Marley’s not takin’ my son away from me.
MICHAEL: Do you think she would have gone to Tanquir?
TYRONE: If Reginald took her, that’s where she’d be going.
MICHAEL: They don’t have an extradition treaty with the United States.
TYRONE: I don’t care what I have to do. I’m going to Tanquir and getting my family. Even if I gotta drag them back here.
MICHAEL: Wait let’s...let’s go back to the mansion...and think of a strategy.
---
DONNA TURNS AWAY FROM DEVIN.
DONNA: I’m sorry. I had no right to snap at you and I had no right to dump all of my family problems on you. Listen have fun with your new club that you’re going to build.
DEVIN: No Donna I...I. can’t leave you like this. You’re obviously in some kind of pain. Is there anything I can do?
DONNA TURNS AROUND AND FACES HIM.
DONNA: Yes...yes as a matter of fact there is.
DONNA GRABS DEVIN’S FACE AND STARTS KISSING HIM. DEVIN PULLS AWAY, THEN CONTINUES. THEN, MICHAEL AND TYRONE WALK IN, AND SEE DEVIN AND DONNA KISSING.
FREEZE FRAME ON DEVIN AND DONNA WITH MICHAEL AND TYRONE IN THE BACKGROUND...SLOW FADE OUT...END OF EPISODE 259
O wow what an ending. Donna did lay it on thick to Devin. And She laid everything out. I was like damn. But it made her vulnerable and weak so when she turned around to see this fine young man standing in front of her and felt alive again when she kissed him only to have Micheal who didnt leave with stacy as donna thought walked in on the kiss. Talk about timing. Good ending.
ReplyDeleteBridget is idk... she was not interested at all in her therapy. Michelle certainly was and I like that. If Bridget isnt taking it seriously then its of to a bad start .
I get where Mitch is coming from but Fe did kill a child. It's not all about FEfe its about an unborn child being killed. How long does mitch think he is going to able to hide felicia. He did do a good job of convincing her to see his point. I really don't know where it goes from here. Im just glad Fe has not forgotten or shows remorse that she killed a baby.
Great episode, it really moved.
WOAH. THAT ending I was so not expecting. But a GREAT twist. Donna is hurting and looking for a way to let off steam, no doubt. I'm sure Devin isn't going to become some kind of long term affair, especially with Michael and Tyrone arriving. Great ending. These scenes between them were deep leading up to it as wel. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteTyrone is determined to get Marley back to the US. But I'm sure he doesn't realize that Marley opted to go, falling right into Cecile's hands. Wow.
Mitch still desperate to protect Felicia. He's incredibly devoted to her and reminds her of her arrest for Jason's murder. Good use of history, and it served to change her mind as to her plans.
Bridget knows she doesn't need the therapy. She probably should take more of an interest, but the fault here is definitely on Michele's shoulders (largely). I can't wait to see how Michele manipulates the situation. Also can't wait to see how their new doctor plays into things, as I know you have plans for that character. Exciting all around. Strong episode from you as always.
