AT THE CENTER, BRADLEY O’ NEILL AND VICKY ARE SITTING AT A TABLE ACROSS FROM EACH OTHER.

BRADLEY:  I’m honestly not too sure.  

VICKY:  Well obviously you think she’s worth the chance.

BRADLEY:  Yeah...she is.

Alice Barrett as Frankie Frame

MEANWHILE, FROM A SHORT DISTANCE, FRANKIE WALKS INTO THE CENTER AND STOPS.  SHE LOOKS AT THE DIRECTION WHERE VICKY AND BRADLEY ARE SITTING.  FRANKIE SEES BRADLEY’S BACK.

FRANKIE:  Who’s that with Vicky?

FRANKIE STARTS TO WALK TOWARD THEM AND THEN CHRISTY CALLS HER FROM BEHIND.

Robin Mattson as Christy Carson

CHRISTY:  Mary Frances?  May I talk to you?

FRANKIE TURNS AROUND AND FACES CHRISTY, AND SAYS NOTHING.

CHRISTY:  Please?

FRANKIE:  I thought you were leaving town.

CHRISTY:  I was...involved in that accident on Route 17 the other night.

FRANKIE:  Oh.  

CHRISTY:  My car was hit head on...and I lost my baby….mine and Cass’s baby.

AT THE POLICE STATION, DANTE AND TWO OFFICERS ESCORT FELICIA AND DEVIN IN.  TONI APPROACHES THEM.  

Rhonda Ross Kendrick as Toni Burrell

Linda Dano as Felicia Gallant Blake

TONI:  Hi Felicia.  Devin Lucas.

DEVIN:  Why are we here?

TONI:  You’re not the person I want to talk to.

FELICIA:  It’s me.  They’re after me.

DANTE:  We need to ask you some questions about the night of the accident Felicia.

TONI:  Come into my office.

MITCH WALKS OUT AND SEES TONI AND DANTE ESCORT FELICIA TO TONI’S OFFICE.  MITCH GOES TO A PRIVATE CORNER AND DEVIN FOLLOWS HIM.

William Espy as Mitch Blake

DEVIN:  I take it they didn’t accept your confession.

MITCH:  I’m gonna call Cass.  I got a feeling she’s gonna need a lawyer.

----------------------------------------

AT CASS’S OFFICE, CASS IS WITH CHARLIE.  CHARLIE JUST RECEIVED A CALL FROM BAY CITY MEDICAL CENTER INFORMING HER THAT SHE DID NOT GET THE INTERNSHIP SHE APPLIED FOR.

Stephen Schnetzer as Cass Winthrop

Brittany Underwood as Charlie Winthrop Harrison

CASS:  I’m sorry kiddo.

CHARLIE:  I was so sure that I’d get it.  I’d taken P.R. classes at the other school I was in.  

CASS:  Maybe they chose someone with more experience?

CHARLIE:  I dunno about that.  

CASS:  Guess there’s only one way to find out.  

CHARLIE:  You think I could...go to Dr. Mason and ask her?

CASS:  Why not?  Can’t hurt right?

CHARLIE:  I’ll do it tomorrow.  I’m gonna go meet Kirkland.  

CASS:  Maybe he'll help you to feel better baby. Anything else I can do.

CHARLIE (smiles):  You've done enough already. Thank you dad.

CASS:  Okay honey. I love you.

CHARLIE: Love you, too.

CASS’S CELL PHONE AND HE ANSWERS.

CASS:  Winthrop?...Oh...okay I’ll be right there.

CASS PRESSES END CALL AND GRABS HIS SPORT COAT AND BRIEFCASE.

CHARLIE:  Dad what’s goin’ on?

CASS:  I’m going to the police station.

CHARLIE:  You look worried.  Is everything okay?

CASS:  It’s Felicia.

FELICIA SITS ACROSS FROM TONI, WHO IS SITTING AT HER DESK.  DANTE IS STANDING TO THE RIGHT OF TONI.

DANTE:  Why are you so fidgety Mrs. Blake?

FELICIA:  Coming to the police station to be questioned could be a little nerve wracking don’t you think?

DANTE:  You wouldn’t be nervous if...there was nothing to be nervous about.

TONI:  Dante.  I got this.  Felicia.  I’ve known you a long time.  If something happened, you can tell me.  You don’t want anyone else to get in trouble.  Right?

FELICIA:  What is it that you want me to tell you?

TONI:  I need you to tell me what happened the night of the accident on Route 17.  

CASS WALKS IN DRESSED IN A SUIT CARRYING HIS BRIEFCASE.

CASS:  Felicia don’t say another word.  Toni I’d like to speak to my client.

PART 2

FRANKIE:  What are you up to Christy?

CHRISTY:  Why would you think that?  I was involved in an accident and I lost a baby.  You know what that’s like, don’t you?

FRANKIE:  Is that why you stopped me here?  To remind of the two other times I miscarried?

CHRISTY:  No...no.  I just...I need a friend.  I need you Mary Frances.  I know I’ve done horrible things to you and Cass but...you’re the only friend I’ve ever had.

FRANKIE:  Really, Christy?  Are you trying to tell me that you treasure our friendship?  Wow...with friends like you I certainly don’t need any enemies.

CHRISTY:  Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?  Please.

FRANKIE:  Nothing’s changed Christy.  You used me to get sympathy.  To get me on your side.  I thought you had changed, but you haven’t.

CHRISTY:  I have changed.  I’m not that same person that…

FRANKIE:  That let me take the fall for you killing Douglas?  The same person that poisoned Cass?  The same person who forced Cass to give you a sperm sample so you could get pregnant with his baby?  You’re still obsessed with him, just like you were twenty five years ago.

CHRISTY:  That’s not true.  I wanted to be a mother.  From the beginning this time.  Whoever collided with me that night..is responsible for taking that away from me.  Cass is the least of my concerns.  I was on my way out of Bay City.

FRANKIE:  So then why are you still here?

CHRISTY:  I have a right to find out who hit me on Route 17.  

FRANKIE:  Listen I’m...I’m sorry for your loss.  I do know what that’s like to miscarry.  It’s a pain you never quite get rid of.

CHRISTY:  I have a right to find out who killed my baby, and when I do…I’m gonna make them pay.

TONI WALKS UP TO MITCH AND DEVIN.

DEVIN:  So...what’s going on?

TONI:  Cass is speaking to her?

MITCH:  Are you going to arrest us?

TONI:  No.  I’m not.

DEVIN:  What about my grandmother?

---

CASS IS WITH FELICIA IN AN INTERROGATION ROOM BY THEMSELVES.  CASS IS SITTING IN A CHAIR ACROSS FROM FELICIA.

FELICIA:  Did MItch call you?

CASS:  Yeah.  Yeah what’s goin’ on?

FELICIA:  They hauled me down here.

CASS:  Why?

FELICIA’S EYES BEGIN TO WELL UP.

FELICIA:  Cass I’m...I’m so sorry.

CASS:  What’s wrong?

FELICIA:  It’s all my fault.  I caused this to happen.  I don’t wanna hurt anybody else.

CASS:  Felicia what are you talking about?

FELICIA:  Everything just went so wrong that night.  Lorna left; Rachel disowned me as a friend, and I saw Mitch with Sharlene.  I was so...distraught.

CASS:  What do you mean?  What happened after that?

FELICIA:  I...had been craving..liquor...for weeks.

CASS:  My God.  Did you...take a drink?

FELICIA:  Yeah...I did.  Then I went driving.

CASS:  No…

FELICIA:  Yes.  I drove...down Route 17.  That night.  I swerved into the opposite lane and I...I hit...someone.

CASS:  Is that why you’re here?  I’ll...I’ll talk to Toni.  I’ll find out what they have.

FELICIA:  It was me Cass.  I caused Christy to lose her baby.  Her baby...and your baby.

CASS:  What?

FELICIA:  I’m so sorry Cass.  

CASS GETS UP AND WALKS TOWARD THE DOOR SLOWLY, ABSORBING THE SHOCK OF WHAT FELICIA JUST TOLD HIM.

CASS:  Wow.  I couldn’t imagine it would...hit me this hard.

FELICIA:  I shouldn’t have even gotten behind the wheel of a car after I took a drink.

CASS GATHERS HIMSELF, REFOCUSES, TURNS AROUND AND FACES FELICIA.

CASS:  We gotta focus.  You just sit tight.  I gotta find out what they’ve got.

TONI KNOCKS ON THE DOOR AND WALKS IN.

CASS:  So what’s the deal?  Why did you drag Felicia down here?

TONI LOOKS AT FELICIA, AND LOOKS BACK AT CASS.

TONI:  We have reason to believe that your client caused that accident on Route 17.

CASS:  If you’re not going to charge her, then you need to let her go.

FELICIA STANDS UP.

FELICIA:  Stop it!  No more trouble!

CASS:  Felicia don’t say anything…

FELICIA:  I am responsible.  

TONI:  Felicia, is this a confession?

FELICIA:  I caused the accident!
