Lesli Kay as Stacey Winthrop

AT THE CENTER, LINDSAY IS SITTING AT A TABLE VIDEO CHATTING WITH STACEY ON HER PHONE.

LINDSAY:  I see you made it to L.A.  Your place looks great.

STACEY:  Yeah the firm paid the rent for the first year.  I mean I can’t even believe where this place is located.  It’s right downtown; close to everything.

LINDSAY:  Except for me.

STACEY:  Oh baby.  I want you to come see me.  

LINDSAY:  I will as soon as I can get some time off.

STACEY:  Let me know.  I’ll clear my schedule.  I need to finish unpacking.

LINDSAY’S EYES START TO WELL UP…

LINDSAY (voice breaking):  I’m...gonna miss you mom.

STACEY:  Oh I’m gonna miss you, too my miracle baby.  I have every confidence that you’re gonna be just fine.

LINDSAY:  I hope so.  Bye mom.

LINDSAY:  Hey.

DEVIN:  You okay?

LINDSAY GATHERS HERSELF AFTER HER MOMENT OF SADNESS.

LINDSAY:  Um...yeah I’m fine.

DEVIN:  For what it’s worth, I miss my mom, too.

LINDSAY:  She left yesterday.

DEVIN:  I think you’ll get along just fine.  She’s always gonna be there for you.

LINDSAY (smiles):  Thanks.  I know.

DEVIN:  And that goes for me, too.

LINDSAY IS TAKEN ABACK BY DEVIN’S STATEMENT, WHICH SEEMS TO CREATE AN AWKWARDNESS.

DEVIN:  Ummm...I gotta get going.  I mean it.  Call me or shoot me a text if you need anything.

LINDSAY:  Okay...I’ll...keep that in mind.

KC:  It’s been over a week, like, make a decision already.

TONI:  She’s still deciding who she wants to hire.  

KC:  I’ve checked my emails to see for any rejection notices.

KC:  No.

TONI:  Okay then.  You’re good.  She’ll call.  Try not to worry about it.

CHARLIE:  I’m never too busy for my dad.

CASS:  Uh oh.  How much do you want?

CHARLIE:  Daaaaaad.  I’m...I’m just nervous.

AT CASS’S OFFICE…

CHARLIE:  I...didn’t get the internship.

CASS:  Oh no.  I’m sorry sweetheart.

CHARLIE:  Wow.  I...really thought I qualified for the job.

CASS:  Maybe...you could ask her what her reasons were behind her decision?

CHARLIE:  I dunno.  Maybe I should just...move on.

CASS:  It couldn’t hurt to ask Dr. Mason why she didn’t hire you.

CHARLIE (smiling):  I at least have my husband.  He’ll help me deal with this rejection.

ALLEN:  Why are you asking about Amanda all of a sudden?  No...you want me to betray her don’t you?

IRIS:  I didn’t say that but…

ALLEN:  Oh I’m not doing this again.  You want me to steal secrets from her to give to you.  

IRIS STRAIGHTENS HERSELF UP AT HER DESK, FOLDS HER HANDS, AND PLACES THEM ON THE DESK.

IRIS:  Allen you are one of my prized employees here at KBAY, and there’s a lot of upward mobility where you’re concerned.  This could really...bolster your career.

MEANWHILE, CHARLIE WITH HER BACK TO KIRKLAND, OPENS HER EYES.

CHARLIE FLASHES BACK TO THE PRESENT…

CHARLIE:  Yeah...right.

-------

ERIC:  What?  Don’t you...like this?

KIRKLAND:  Hell no I don’t like this!  I hate it!  I hate what I’m doing to my wife, and I’m not gonna hurt her anymore.

ERIC:  And you don’t have to.  I’m not gonna tell her anything about us.

KIRKLAND TURNS TO ERIC.

KIRKLAND:  You don’t get it do you?   There’s no us!  No more of this!  It’s over.

KIRKLAND WALKS TO THE DOOR.

ERIC:  No.  Please.  Don’t leave.  What do you want me to do?  I’ll...I’ll give you all the footage I have of you.  

KIRKLAND STOPS.

ERIC:  I’m...I...I’m getting feelings for you.  I’ll do whatever.  I’ll give you all the material of you sleeping with the bartender.  I just wanna...start fresh.

KIRKLAND TURNS AROUND.

KIRKLAND:  You can’t be serious.

ERIC:  I am.  I’m falling in love with you.

KIRKLAND:  Oh my God.  

ERIC:  Is something wrong with me?  

KIRKLAND:  Wrong?  This whole situation is wrong!

ERIC:  I mean...you don’t feel anything for me?  After what we’ve done together.

KIRKLAND:  You are truly sick aren’t you?  You and your mother.

KIRKLAND TURNS TO WALK TO THE DOOR AND ERIC GRABS KIRKLAND’S RIGHT ARM.

CHRISTY:  Friends?  Are you talking about Charlie Harrison?  You only befriended her to get close to...that’s it.  That’s why you wanna stay.  Kirkland Harrison.

ERIC JUST LOOKS AT CHRISTY...

CHRISTY:  What the...are you falling for him?  Son, please, you’ve gotta come with me!  If you think you have a chance with Kirkland you’re in real trouble.  He is not going to love you the way you want.

ERIC FLASHES BACK TO THE PRESENT

PART 1

David Forsyth as Dr. John Hudson

Anna Holbrook as Sharlene Hudson

AT THE HUDSONS, SHARLENE IS ON HER CELL PHONE IN THE LIVING ROOM WHILE JOHN COMES DOWNSTAIRS DRESSED IN A SKY BLUE SHIRT, MATCHING NAVY BLUE TIE, BLACK SLACKS AND SHOES.  SHARLENE IS WEARING A FLOWER SUNDRESS AND SHOES.

SHARLENE:  Okay...we’re coming down.  Thank you for agreeing to this, but you...you do understand why I need confirmation.  Okay thank you I’ll see you in a bit.

SHARLENE PRESSES END CALL…

JOHN:  Confirmation?  You’re talking about Taylor aren’t you?

SHARLENE:  I won’t believe it until I see it...until we see it.

JOHN:  I have a meeting with the board in about an hour or so.

SHARLENE:  Do you...have time to come down to the station with me?

JOHN NODS HIS HEAD, WALKS UP TO HER, AND GENTLY PLACES HIS HANDS ON HER SHOULDERS.

JOHN:  If this is what you need, then I’ll be there for you.

SHARLENE:  Thank you.  She faked her death before and I just…

JOHN:  I know.  I understand but…

SHARLENE:  But what?

JOHN:  Suppose we get confirmation that Taylor is really dead, we still don’t know who tried to kill you, and if they’re gonna try again.

----

AT THE CENTER, MATT AND BRIANNA WALK ARM IN ARM SLOWLY AS PEOPLE PASS BY.

Matt Crane as Matt Cory

Wendy Moniz as Brianna Jameson

BRIANNA:  I was a bit surprised by the way that movie ended.

MATT:  I definitely didn’t see that coming.  The woman wasn’t who everyone thought she was.

BRIANNA:  She had everybody fooled.

MATT:  I wonder if they’re gonna come out with a sequel.  I wonder what the fallout would be from that kind of thing.

BRIANNA:  You know they don’t part twos of those.

MATT:  Maybe.

THEY SIT DOWN AT AN AVAILABLE TABLE.

BRIANNA:  I have to admit I...was skeptical of going to see a movie.  That doesn’t exactly elicit conversation during a date.

MATT:  Well it did didn’t it?

BRIANNA:  After we left the theatre.  

MATT:  Yeah.  I’ll be more creative next time.

BRIANNA (smiling):  Next time huh?  So you’re saying there’s gonna be another date?

MATT:  Well I was...gonna wait to ask you at the end of this one.

BRIANNA:  What if I don’t want this date to be over yet?

MATT:  Now you’re talkin’.

MATT AND BRIANNA LEAN IN AND KISS EACH OTHER.

MATT:  Let’s...get outta here.

BRIANNA:  Now you’re talking.

THEY BOTH SMILE AND CONTINUE TO KISS.

AT THE LOVE MANSION, BRIDGET IS IN THE LIVING ROOM WHEN DONNA WALKS IN.

Lexi Ainsworth as Bridget McKinnon

Anna Stuart as Donna Love

DONNA:  Hi honey.

BRIDGET:  Grandma.

DONNA:  So...did you set up an appointment with Dr. Bingham?

BRIDGET:  No.

DONNA:  Well why not?

BRIDGET:  I don’t wanna talk to some shrink.  I’m not crazy.

DONNA:  Honey you have to talk to someone.  This feud between you and your sister has to stop.  

BRIDGET:  When she stops I’ll stop.

DONNA (sighs):  Can anything go right in this family?

BRIDGET:  Ever since Michele came back home she’s been making my life miserable.  She’s tried to turn everyone against me.  

DONNA:  Well you’ve done your fair share, too haven’t you?  You had sex with Cory Hutchins upstairs, and flaunted it to her.  

BRIDGET:  She started all of this!

DONNA:  My God.  What are we going to do with you?

BRIDGET:  There’s nothing to be done.  I’m perfectly fine.  I’m tired of everyone telling me that I need help.  I’m not the crazy one.  Michele is!

DONNA:  You need to talk to someone.  Maybe...your Godmother.

BRIDGET:  Paulina?

AT GRANT’S, GRANT AND PAULINA ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONFRONTATION…

Mark Pinter as Grant Harrison

Judi Evans as Paulina Cory

PAULINA:  You what?

GRANT:  You heard me!

PAULINA:  So let me get this right.   You’re gonna blackmail me into marrying you?

GRANT:  Well...in time you’ll learn to love me again, like you did before.

PAULINA:  That was many moons ago Grant!  Why can’t you let it go?

GRANT:  Because we were robbed.  If it weren’t for Jake and Victoria, we may have had a life together.  Don’t you ever think about it?

PAULINA:  Yeah, and then I immediately head to the toilet to throw up!  

GRANT:  Can you at least think about it?  You’d be saving Jack.

PAULINA:  I can’t believe you’re threatening to destroy his life.

GRANT:  It’s the only way I could get you to listen.  You still care about this man and he dumped you to go back to his wife!

PAULINA:  You blackmailed him into going back to Carly!  He would have been with me.  We made love the night of Carl’s party!  I should have known you had something to do with it when he didn’t show up!  

GRANT:  I will give you twenty four hours to make a decision.

PAULINA:  What if I don’t marry you?

GRANT:  Then Jack won’t be able to get a job at a candy store.  It’s up to you.

CAMERA PAN ON GRANT...SLOW FADE TO THEME SONG.

PART 2

AT THE POLICE STATION, JOHN, SHARLENE, AND DANTE WALK UP TO A DOOR WITH A SIGN ON IT THAT READS:  MORGUE.

John DeLuca as Dante Carlino

DANTE:  Are you ready?

JOHN RUBS SHARLENE’S SHOULDERS AS SHE TAKES A DEEP BREATH.

SHARLENE:  Yes.  Let’s go.

DANTE OPENS THE DOOR WITH A KEY.  HE WALKS IN WITH JOHN AND SHARLENE BEHIND HIM.  HE WALKS UP TO THE SLAB WITH A SIGN THAT READS:  TAYLOR BENSON.  DANTE LOOKS BACK AT JOHN AND SHARLENE.  SHARLENE NODS HER HEAD AS HE OPENS THE SLAB AND PULLS IT OUT.  IT HAS TAYLOR’S COLD, LIFELESS BODY ON IT.

JOHN:  It’s... her.

SHARLENE:  She’s...she’s really dead.

SHARLENE, CONFUSED, TURNS AROUND AND STEPS AWAY.

DANTE:  I’ll give you two a moment.

DANTE SLIDES TAYLOR’S BACK WHERE IT WAS, CLOSES THE SLAB, AND WALKS OUT.  JOHN WALKS UP BEHIND SHARLENE AND PLACES HIS HANDS ON HER SHOULDERS.

SHARLENE (sighs):  You were right all along.

JOHN:  I was hoping that I wouldn’t be.  

SHARLENE:  You were right about everything.  If Taylor was as sick as they say she was, she couldn’t have tampered with the brakes on my car.

JOHN:  You had every reason to think that she was capable of getting someone to do it for her.  

SHARLENE:  But it raises the question.  Since Taylor didn’t do it...who did?  Someone is out there trying to kill me.  Whoever it was almost killed Gregory.

JOHN TURNS SHARLENE AROUND AND LOOKS INTO HER EYES.

JOHN:  I’m gonna let anyone, or anything, happen to you or Gregory.

SHARLENE:  John we don’t even know who…

JOHN:  Don’t worry about it.  I’m going to protect my family.  I’ll die before I let anyone hurt you again.

----

IN A HOTEL ROOM, MATT AND BRIANNA ARE IN BED KISSING, THEN THEY TAKE A BREAK.

BRIANNA:  Why did you stop?

MATT:  Can I just look at your beautiful face?

BRIANNA:  Since you put it like that, look all you want.

MATT:  So how do you like Bay City so far?

BRIANNA:  It’s been...quite an experience.  I never expected this though.

MATT:  Expected what?

BRIANNA:  Just...this…you are...a wonderful guy.

MATT:  I know.  Don’t you forget it.

THEY KISS PASSIONATELY AND BEGIN TO HAVE SEX AGAIN.

----

BRIDGET:  That sounds like a good idea.

DONNA:  It might be, but she’s not a doctor, and you need to explore your issues.

BRIDGET:  OMG here we go.

DONNA:  You’re gonna hear me out!  We are all tired of you and Michele fighting.  She’s agreed to talk to Dr. Bingham.  She’s the one who’s getting help, and you’re not.  Do you know what that looks like?  

BRIDGET:  It looks like Michele needs the help.

DONNA:  And she’s getting it, but you also need help.  For years you’ve been jealous of her.

BRIDGET:  Seriously?

DONNA:  Yes...seriously.  You need to call Dr. Bingham and set up an appointment.

BRIDGET TURNS AROUND FACING AWAY FROM DONNA, AND LOOKS SIDE TO SIDE, CONTEMPLATING THE SITUATION WITH MICHELE.

BRIDGET:  Wow.  This is what Michele wants.  

DONNA:  What are you talking about?

BRIDGET:  Michele did this to make herself look like the saint.  

BRIDGET TURNS BACK AROUND AND FACES DONNA.

BRIDGET:  She’s got you all fooled.  

DONNA:  I’m very concerned that you are not taking responsibility for the things that you did.  

BRIDGET:  Since Michele came back she has wanted to turn all of you against me, and it’s working.

DONNA GRABS BRIDGET BY HER SHOULDERS.

DONNA:  Your mother and Marley went through this almost twenty years ago after she was burned in a fire.  I’m not gonna stand by and watch you and your sister do the same thing to each other!

BRIDGET:  Well I’m not my mom or Aunt Marley.  You should be having this conversation with Michele!

BRIDGET WALKS PAST DONNA TO THE FRONT DOOR.

DONNA:  Where do you think you’re going?

BRIDGET:  Maybe I’ll go see dad.  At least he’s in my corner.

AT PAULINA’S, PAULINA IS PACING BACK AND FORTH AS JAKE SITS ON THE COUCH.

Tom Eplin as Jake McKinnon

JAKE:  You gotta sit down and think.

PAULINA:  I’m afraid of what I’m gonna think about.

JAKE:  We gotta come up with a plan.

PAULINA:  The only thing I wanna do is wring Grant’s neck!

JAKE:  Surely, there’s a better way to handle the situation.

PAULINA:  He’s absolutely crazy to think that I’m gonna marry him!

JAKE:  That’s kind of a given.

PAULINA:  I don’t know what Grant is thinking.  

JAKE:  I think he’s living in 1991.

PAULINA:  I mean I...cared about Grant at one time, but it’s been over twenty five years.  

JAKE:  He blackmailed Jack into leaving town.

PAULINA:  I just don’t know how he got evidence from when I sold my daughter on the black market.

JAKE:  Hmm the evidence.  You still care about Jack don’t you?

PAULINA:  I hate what he did, but I still don’t want Jack’s life to be destroyed.  He’s got two daughters.

JAKE:  You’ve gotta get that evidence.

PAULINA:  How?

JAKE FOLDS HIS ARMS AND STAYS SILENT.

PAULINA:  What are you thinking?

JAKE TURNS AROUND, FACES PAULINA, AND SIGHS.

PAULINA:  Jake?  

JAKE:  Maybe...you need to…say yes.

PAULINA:  What the?   Are you saying I need to...go through with it?

JAKE TILTS HIS HEAD TO THE RIGHT AND GIVES A HALF SMILE.

JAKE:  You did catch the bouquet at Kirkland and Charlie’s wedding right?

PAULINA:  Absolutely not!!!  No way I’m marrying Grant!!!
