Lindsay Winthrop |
AT THE HOSPITAL, LINDSAY WALKS UP TO MAGGIE AT THE
NURSES STATION WITH A FOLDER.
LINDSAY: Dr. Winthrop.
MAGGIE: Hi. Did you send the notes from Mr. Jones’s therapy session?
LINDSAY: Yes but I may to have to scale things back a little. He’s just so
determined.
MAGGIE: Thank you I’ll talk to him. He has to give his body a chance to catch
up to his spirit.
LINDSAY: Couldn’t have said it better myself.
MAGGIE: I’ll...dictate them and...and I’ll…
MAGGIE STARTS SWEATING AND LEANS ON THE COUNTER TO
SUPPORT HERSELF.
LINDSAY: Dr. Winthrop? Are you okay?
MAGGIE: Um...um yeah. I’m...I’m fine. Just need some water.
LINDSAY: Oh here comes Dr. Mason. Maybe you should have her look at you.
THOMASINA WALKS UP TO THEM.
Dr. Thomasina Mason |
THOMASINA: Dr. Winthrop are you okay?
MAGGIE PICKS UP HER TABLET AND SHE, THOMASINA,
AND LINDSAY NOTICE HER RIGHT HAND TREMBLING.
THOMASINA: Come with me. Let me take a look at you.
MAGGIE: No I’m fine.
THOMASINA: Just as a precaution come on.

OFFICE...
Sharlene Hudson |
Dr. John Hudson |
JOHN LOOKS AT HIS POST IT NOTE THAT READS: alwaysbemyson
JOHN: Well you know...I can’t write one for him because I’m his father.
SHARLENE: Didn’t Maggie prescribe him a strong dosage?
JOHN: I’m not sure but I can look into it.
SHARLENE: I worry about him John. I really hope this pain will subside for
him soon.
JOHN: I’ll talk to Maggie about adjusting his dosage.
SHARLENE: I’m afraid for him. I don’t want him to get addicted to them.
JOHN: Yeah we...definitely don’t want a repeat of what happened last time he
battled an addiction.
SHARLENE: You’re right about that. I just...can’t get it out of my head.
Gregory’s injury would never
have been reaggravated if
he wasn’t driving my car. He would have never have…
JOHN: Come on you’re not blaming yourself for this are you?
None of us knew that your brakes were tampered with.
SHARLENE FOLDS ARE ARMS AND PACES SLOWLY.
SHARLENE: I mean...who could’ve done this? Who is out there trying
to hurt our family?
SHARLENE ANSWERS HER CELL PHONE.
SHARLENE: Gregory where have you been? I’m at the hospital with John.
I thought you may
have come here.
Okay good. I’ll be home in a bit.
JOHN: Is he okay?
SHARLENE: Yeah he’s fine. He had me very worried.
JOHN: Gregory’s a big boy. He’ll be fine.
SHARLENE: I’m gonna head home now so...I’ll see ya later?
JOHN: You bet.

CAR’S BLUETOOTH.
Christy Carson |
Brianna Jameson |
BRIANNA: It’s all done. It was easier than I ever could have imagined.
CHRISTY: Good.
BRIANNA: He left his password on a sticky note. How dumb was that?
CHRISTY: For what it’s worth...thank you.
BRIANNA: Everything seems to be falling right...into place.

PART 2
THOMASINA SHINES THE MAG LIGHT IN EACH OF MAGGIE’S EYES.
MAGGIE: Dr. Mason I’m fine. I mean all of this isn’t even necessary.
THOMASINA: Your pupils are dilated.
THOMASINA PUTS THE MAG LIGHT BACK IN HER LAB COAT POCKET.
MAGGIE: I..probably have just working too many hours. I feel fine.
THOMASINA: I’m very concerned about this Dr. Winthrop.
I’m gonna need to do a blood test on you.
MAGGIE: Are you serious?
THOMASINA: You’ve been sweating and your pupils are dilated.
MAGGIE: Symptoms of...withdrawal? I’m not on any drugs!
THOMASINA: Then you shouldn’t have a problem with taking a blood
test right?
MAGGIE NODS HER HEAD IN AGREEMENT.
------
BRIANNA IS ON HER CAR’S BLUETOOTH WITH CHRISTY AS SHE DRIVES.
CHRISTY: This might be the last time you hear from me.
BRIANNA: I’m not sure whether to cheer or cry.
CHRISTY: Everything has come full circle,
but Felicia killed my baby, and she has to pay for it.
Take care Brianna. Hope all your plans work.
------
CHRISTY IS IN WOMENS’ BATHROOM WEARING A BLACK TRENCHCOAT.
SHE PUTS ON GLASSES,
AND ADJUSTS A SHORT
BLACK HAIRED WIG THAT
RESEMBLES FELICIA’S HAIRSTYLE.
CHRISTY: Time to pick up your prescription Mrs. Blake.
------
BRIANNA IS STILL DRIVING, BUT NOW SHE’S ON
THE PHONE WITH MATT ON
BRIANNA: Congratulations.
MATT: Thank you but it’s...it’s been crazy. We got Iris out of the company though.
BRIANNA: Some people get what they deserve right?
MATT: What is that supposed to mean?
BRIANNA: I mean...you know...she tried to kill Carl Hutchins right?
MATT: Yeah she did. Sorry I’ve just been real busy.
BRIANNA: I get it.
MATT: But you know we’re gonna have our...own celebration.
BRIANNA: I can’t wait.
------
BRIANNA DRIVES INTO THE HOSPITAL PARKING GARAGE
AND SEES SHARLENE IN THE DISTANCE.
BRIANNA: Neither can I. Everything’s gonna work just the way we want it.
MATT: Well I’m gonna finish some work here.
BRIANNA: Okay handsome.
BRIANNA PRESSES END CALL ON HER
CAR’S BLUETOOTH, AND THEN SHE TURNS
HER ATTENTION TO SHARLENE.
------
MEANWHILE, SHARLENE IS ON HER CELL PHONE.
SHARLENE: Oh Josie that’s wonderful. I’m glad that
you guys were able to work things out. Yes.
BRIANNA HAS A FLASHBACK…
(EPISODE 214)
Taylor swallows her saliva in an attempt to gain some strength as she weakens.
Taylor: I need...I need you to do me a favor.
Brianna: Mama. Try to calm down okay.
Taylor: They ruined my...my career.
Brianna: Are you talking about John and Sharlene Hudson?
Taylor is getting agitated and it is weakening her.
Taylor: Yes...I should have...
should have finished Sharlene when
I had the chance, and that’s what I want you to do.
She destroyed my life.
Brianna: What is it mama? I’ll do whatever you want.
Taylor: I want you to...finish what mama started. Finish Sharlene Hudson.
Her monitor beeps faster.
Taylor: I love my sweet Ellen.
Brianna: I love you, too mama.
BRIANNA FLASHES BACK TO THE PRESENT
AS SHE PRESSES HER RIGHT
FOOT ON THE GAS,
AND ACCELERATES.
SHARLENE’S BACK IS TURNED.
SHARLENE: I was telling John that if whoever
didn’t tamper with the brakes in my car...
no they haven’t found the person yet.
LINDSAY WALKS OUT OF THE STAIRWELL,
AND SEES BRIANNA’S CAR
(SHE DOES NOT SEE BRIANNA)
SPEEDING TOWARD SHARLENE.
LINDSAY: Sharleeeeene! Look ouuuuuuut!
SHARLENE LOOKS UP AT LINDSAY,
WHO RUNS TOWARD SHARLENE.
SHARLENE TURNS AROUND,
AND SEES HEADLIGHTS SPEEDING TOWARD HER!
FREEZE FRAME ON SHARLENE...SLOW FADE OUT….END OF 275
Ooooo now THAT was an ending!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed so much of that. Between Thomasina insistent that Maggie is on something (thanks Brianna), Brianna saying her goodbyes to Christy, Sharlene on the phone with Josie and completely oblivious to Brianna’s murderous plans for her, and Lindsay arriving just in time. I’m fairly certain Lindsay will be the one injured here if she’s running toward Sharlene, but that’s something to leave for 276.
Matt better watch out, his new lady is on the warpath. I can’t wait to see it all unfold. This was a very focused, right episode. Everything kinda tied together, and made sense. The suspense in the parking garage was great as well.
You’ve done a damn good job on this story. Can’t wait to see what happens next!
