ANOTHER WORLD 278 Maggie and Bridget get bad news

ANOTHER WORLD 278

Created by William J. Bell and Irna Phillips

PREVIOUSLY ON ANOTHER WORLD

--Bridget, being jealous of her identical twin Michele,

spiked Cory Hutchins vodka and

kissed him at the high school prom.

 After an argument on the sidewalk

, Michele slipped and was struck by an

oncoming car and was in the hospital.  

Her great grandfather Reginald orchestrated

a ruse to make it appear that Michele

was brain dead, and he changed her face.  

Michele returned to Bay City wanting to get revenge on Bridget.  

---Bridget and Michele’s parents,

Vicky and Jake, have divorced,

and Michael left Donna

---While Brianna has set out to

fulfill her sick mother Taylor Benson’s

dying wish to kill Sharlene,

she has been building a relationship

with Matt Cory, much to Maggie Winthrop

(formerly Maggie Cory’s) chagrin.  

Maggie sees that Brianna is wrong for

Matt, so Brianna has taken steps to

get Maggie off of her trail

IN THOMASINA’S OFFICE, THOMASINA WALKS

OVER TO HER DESK AND SITS DOWN.

MAGGIE SITS ON THE OPPOSITE END OF

THE DESK FACING THOMASINA.

MAGGIE:  What is this about?

THOMASINA LOOKS DOWN, THEN LOOKS

BACK UP AND LOOKS MAGGIE IN HER FACE.

THOMASINA:  Is everything okay with you Dr.

Winthrop?

MAGGIE:  I’m fine what...what’s going on?

THOMASINA:  If you’re struggling with something,

I would have liked you to come to me and we

could have arranged for you to get some help.

MAGGIE:  Help?  I’m sorry Dr. Mason I’m not following.

THOMASINA:  Your blood test results came back.

MAGGIE:  And I’m all clear.

THOMASINA:  No...you’re not.

MAGGIE:  I don’t understand this.  What are you getting at?

THOMASINA OPENS HER DESK DRAWER, PULLS

OUT A CLEAR BAG OF WHITE PILLS,

AND HOLDS THEM UP.

THOMASINA:  We found these in your locker.

MAGGIE:  What the hell is that?

THOMASINA:  This is full of synthetic fentanyl...

the same drug

That showed up on your blood test.  

They are highly addictive.

THOMASINA PUTS THE PILLS DOWN ON HER DESK.

MAGGIE:  I have no idea how they got…

it was her.  She put them there.

THOMASINA:  Who?

MAGGIE:  Brianna!  

THOMASINA:  She didn’t make you ingest them, did she?

MAGGIE:  She put those pills in my locker!

THOMASINA:  You were sweaty and your

pupils were dilated earlier.

 You were having withdrawal symptoms.

MAGGIE:  Brianna wants me to stay away

from Matthew.  That’s why

She’s doing this!

THOMASINA:  She has actually showed

concern for you, and I have caught you

being mean to her on more than one occasion.

MAGGIE:  Oh my God!  Can’t you see

what she’s doing?  She set this all up!

THOMASINA:  You can’t blame your

drug habit on Brianna!

MAGGIE:  I don’t have a drug habit!

THOMASINA:  Dr. Winthrop, you’re

one of our best doctors, and I’d like to

Keep you on staff.

MAGGIE:  I can’t believe I’m hearing this.

THOMASINA:  I have recommended you

to go to Wood Pines.

MAGGIE:  Wood Pines?  That’s an

inpatient drug rehab facility.  You can’t

Be serious!

THOMASINA:  You...will go for a seven day

inpatient stay.   The doctors will update me

on your progress.  Until then you are

suspended effective immediately.

MAGGIE:  And what if I don’t go?

THOMASINA:  Then I will have no choice

but to terminate your employment at

Bay City Medical Center.

MAGGIE:  Brianna...is doing this.

THOMASINA:  If you don’t check in to

Wood Pines tonight, I will file the paperwork

for your termination.

MEANWHILE, BRIDGET IS IN AN EXAM ROOM

WHEN DR DAVIDSON WALKS IN

AND SHUTS THE DOOR.

BRIDGET:  Dr. Davidson.  You come to give

me a clean bill of health?

DR. DAVIDSON:  I have...some questions

to ask you.

BRIDGET:  Go ahead.

DR. DAVIDSON:  Have you been...experiencing any...

pelvic pain or discomfort?

BRIDGET:  No.

DR. DAVIDSON:  Any burning sensation during urination?

BRIDGET:  No.  Why?  What are you talking about?

DR. DAVIDSON:  Your blood work came back.

 It shows that you have chlamydia.

BRIDGET OPENS HER MOUTH IN SURPRISE.

BRIDGET:  No way!
