- Matt Cory and Brianna Jameson have gone out on a few dates and are growing closer. Matt is unaware of Brianna’s plot to kill Sharlene

AT
BRIANNA’S APARTMENT, MATT AND BRIANNA ARE IN BED TOGETHER SIDE BY SIDE.
EACH HAVE THEIR HANDS FOLDED ON THEIR STOMACHS LOOKING UP AT THE CEILING.
MATT:
Whoa.
BRIANNA:
Whoa is right.
MATT:
I think we both have been...a little stressed I’d say.
BRIANNA:
No better way to get rid of it than to...let off some steam.
MATT:
I completely agree.
BRIANNA:
Can I...tell you something?
MATT:
Sure...anything.
BRIANNA
SITS UP AND LOOKS STRAIGHT AHEAD.
BRIANNA:
You make me feel...like I’ve never felt before.
MATT:
What do you mean?
BRIANNA:
We have such a great time together. I feel like I can...let my
guard down with you.
MATT
SITS UP NEXT TO BRIANNA AND LOOKS AT HER.
MATT:
Me, too. It’s been a long time for me. I’ve been so focused
on my daughter and the company that I...never took time to...find happiness.
BRIANNA
ADJUSTS HER BODY TO FACE MATT.
BRIANNA:
Matt I think I’m...falling in love with you. I didn’t expect this
at all. I...thought we would be just casual. Look I...I’m sorry if it’s
too much I’ll...
MATT
SMILES.
MATT:
It’s...not too much at all. I feel the same way.
THEY
ADJUST THEIR BODIES TO FACE EACH OTHER AND KISS.

AT
THE CORYS, AMANDA WALKS DOWNSTAIRS WITH HER PURSE TO THE DOOR AND RACHEL WALKS
IN THE FOYER TO MEET HER.
RACHEL:
You’ve got everything you need?
AMANDA:
Umm...yeah umm...yeah I got it. Thanks.
RACHEL:
Are you sure you don’t want me to come with you?
AMANDA:
No. You’ve gotta keep an eye on things here. I’ll check in.
RACHEL:
No you will not. You focus on Alli.
AMANDA:
I can’t believe this. My baby has been in an accident. Sam
says it’s touch and go. I...I gotta...go be with my daughter.
RACHEL:
Of course honey. If you need me you call me okay?
AMANDA:
Sure.
THEY
HUG EACH OTHER AND AMANDA GRABS HER SUITCASE AND OPENS THE DOOR. THEY SEE
ALLEN.

ALLEN:
Amanda? Where are you going?
RACHEL:
She’s gotta go out of town for a while.
ALLEN:
So you’re just gonna leave without talking to me?
RACHEL:
Allen this really isn’t…
AMANDA:
Mom...can you leave us alone for a minute please?
RACHEL:
Are you sure?
AMANDA:
Yes mom I can handle it. Thank you.

AT
THE MCKINNONS, VICKY WALKS INTO THE LIVING ROOM FROM THE KITCHEN AS SOMEONE
RINGS THE DOORBELL. SHE ANSWERS IT AS MICHELE WALKS DOWNSTAIRS.

| Vicky |
 |
| Elizabeth |
VICKY:
Hi Elizabeth.
ELIZABETH:
Hey Vicky.
MICHELE
APPEARS.
 |
| Michele |
MICHELE:
Been expecting you.
VICKY:
Looks like you’re sleeping over tonight huh?
ELIZABETH:
Yeah. Sorry I didn’t ask you first.
VICKY:
Oh no honey it’s...perfectly fine. You’re always welcome here.
Well...as long as you two aren’t getting into trouble.
MICHELE:
Trouble? No...there will be no trouble...at least not here.
MICHELE
SMILES.

AT
DONNA’S SUITE…
 |
| Donna |
 |
| Bridget |
BRIDGET GETS UP AND DROPS
HER PURSE. ALL OF THE CONTENTS SPILL OUT. DONNA PICKS UP SOMETHING AND
READS IT.
DONNA: Amoxicillin?
This is an antibiotic. Are you sick? I’ll have some specially made
soup delivered.
BRIDGET: I don’t
need any soup. I don’t get why you’re making such a big deal out of it.
BRIDGET TRIES TO WALK AWAY
BUT DONNA RUNS IN FRONT OF HER.
DONNA: Bridget talk
to me! What is going with you?
BRIDGET: I have...I
have chlamydia!
DONNA PUTS HER RIGHT HAND
ON HER MOUTH IN SHOCK.
DONNA: Oh my God. So
that’s what the antibiotics are for? How did this happen? I thought you
and Cory used protection when you had sex.
BRIDGET: We did. I
don’t even know how this happened.
DONNA: Bridget...I
need you to level with me. I promise I won’t judge you.
BRIDGET: You...you
think I’ve been sleeping around? No! Cory is the only guy I’ve ever had
sex.
DONNA: Bridget?
BRIDGET: I swear! I
have not been with anyone else.
DONNA LOOKS AWAY FROM
BRIDGET.
BRIDGET: You believe
me don’t you?
DONNA LOOKS BACK AT
BRIDGET.
DONNA: Of course I
do. You’ve been faithful to Cory. Cory’s the one that hasn’t been
faithful to you.
DONNA GOES TO THE CLOSET
AND GRABS HER COAT AND PURSE.
BRIDGET: Where are
you going?
DONNA: I’m gonna go
have a talk with Rachel about her son!
CAMERA PAN ON DONNA...SLOW
FADE TO THEME SONG.

PART 2
AT THE CORYS, IN THE BACK,
AMANDA IS WITH ALLEN.
ALLEN: Amanda tell
me how I can fix this.
AMANDA: There’s
nothing you can do.
ALLEN: I’m
sorry...I’m sorry about the things I said to you about your father and Cory
Productions.
AMANDA: They were
very hurtful, and I didn’t appreciate them.
ALLEN: I was just
trying to...I just wanted to help my daughter.
AMANDA: You still
haven’t told me what’s going on with her.
ALLEN: She’s...it’s
school.
AMANDA: No...no
don’t worry about it. It’s going to be like this, and that’s why
I...can’t be with you.
ALLEN: What do you
mean?
AMANDA: You betrayed
me to help KC. There are other ways you could have gone about it without
hurting us.
ALLEN: I
didn’t...Iris promised me a raise if I got some information on the merger.
I never told that you were planning to oust her from the new company.
AMANDA: Oh and you
think you deserve points for that? You betrayed me...again! Two’s a trend
Allen. Excuse me I...I have to leave.
ALLEN: Amanda please
wait. Where are you going?
AMANDA: I have to go
to California. Alli’s been in a terrible accident. I need to go be
with her.
ALLEN: Oh my God.
Is she alright?
AMANDA: She’s in
critical condition.
ALLEN: Is there
anything I can do?
AMANDA: Yes...as a
matter of fact there is. You can face the truth, and follow your heart.
ALLEN: My heart is
with you.
AMANDA: No, Allen,
it’s not. Your heart is...is with your ex-wife. You need to...pursue
whatever you feel.
ALLEN: That’s not
true. Toni’s my daughter’s mother that’s all.
AMANDA: That’s what
I mean. You’re not being honest about how you really feel. I saw
the way you were with her. You’re in love with her. You need to follow
your heart.
AMANDA WALKS TO THE DOUBLE
DOORS.
ALLEN: I’ll keep in
touch while you’re gone and we can iron out our problems when you get back.
AMANDA TURNS TO FACE
ALLEN.
AMANDA: It’s over
Allen. We are over.
AMANDA OPENS THE DOORS AND
WALKS INSIDE THE HOUSE.
----
BRIANNA LIES ON HER BACK
ON THE BED, WHILE MATT PROPS HIMSELF WITH HIS RIGHT ARM AND FACES BRIANNA.
BRIANNA: I don’t
want this night to end. I just...wanna forget everything and be here.
MATT: Ditto.
BRIANNA: I never
even felt this much love.
MATT: Not even
growing up.
BRIANNA: Growing up?
MATT: Yeah your
childhood. Where did you grow up by the way?
BRIANNA:
Philadelphia. I got raised partly by my grandmother, and partly by
nannies.
MATT: What about
your mom?
BRIANNA: She was so
into her career that I barely saw her.
MATT: Where is she
now?
BRIANNA: She’s dead.
MATT: Oh I’m...sorry
to hear that.
BRIANNA: I
still...miss her you know. Count your lucky stars that you still have
yours.
MATT: Yep I got
mine. It’s not like we haven’t had our ups and downs, especially when it
came to Carl Hutchins. Amanda and I did some...things we weren’t proud of
to get Carl out of her life.
BRIANNA: There’s
almost nothing we won’t do for our parents.
------------
MICHELE AND ELIZABETH ARE
IN MICHELE’S ROOM IN THEIR SLEEPWEAR. BOTH ARE SIPPING ON WHAT’S IN THEIR
CUPS.
ELIZABETH: Your mom
has no idea what we’re drinking huh?
MICHELE: Vodka.
This...feels great.
ELIZABETH: It’s not
like we’re...going out for a spin or anything.
MICHELE: Absolutely
not...no drinking and driving.
MICHELE TAKES A SIP AND
ELIZABETH DOES THE SAME.
MICHELE: This...is a
celebration.
ELIZABETH: Well it’s
not official yet is it?
MICHELE: It will be
very soon. It’s just a matter of time. In fact I...I saw my sister
at the hospital. I bet she was there to see her...to see her OB doctor.
ELIZABETH: It was
probably her routine exam.
MICHELE: Hellooo?
Judging by the look on her face, I’m pretty sure she wasn’t there for a pap
smear.
ELIZABETH: Then
what...whaddya think she was there for?
MICHELE: Look...you
can’t...ya can’t say anything about this okay.
ELIZABETH: Of course
not. You’re my best bud.
MICHELE: Promise me
you won’t say anything.
ELIZABETH: Alright
alright I won’t. So tell me...what was Bridget there for?
MICHELE: I dunno,
but I did something. You know...the security breach at the hospital.
ELIZABETH: Yeah I
read about that.
MICHELE: Who do you
think caused it?
ELIZABETH: What?
Who?
MICHELE: Me...duh.
ELIZABETH: Oh my God
Michele that’s serious. You could go to jail for that!
MICHELE: It was so
easy...I...I broke into the hospital mainframe...and I switched Bridget’s test
results with someone else’s.
ELIZABETH: What?
What did you do exactly? How did you even pull that off?
MICHELE: I switched
her test results with someone who tested positive…
ELIZABETH WIDENS HER EYES
WITH SURPRISE.
ELIZABETH: You made
it look like...Bridget has HIV?
MICHELE: Oh come
on...no...but chlamydia...yes.

AT DONNA’S SUITE, BRIDGET
PICKS UP HER PHONE AND SENDS A TEXT MESSAGE.
BRIDGET’S TEXT: Plz

to her...now.
CORY: Okay I can go
get her if you want me to.
RACHEL WALKS IN THE LIVING
ROOM.
RACHEL: Donna what
brings you by?
DONNA: Good the
gang’s all here.
RACHEL: What’s going
on?
DONNA: Your son is
being irresponsible...and promiscuous.
CORY: I’m sorry?
What is this about?
DONNA: It’s about my
granddaughter and what you gave her!
RACHEL: I don’t
understand.
DONNA: You don’t
understand? Well I’ll be glad to help you! Bridget has been
diagnosed with chlamydia and Cory gave it to her!
