BRYANT:  Well that’s why I got my laptop.  I’m about to apply for some jobs. 

DANA:  Bay City’s growing exponentially.  I’m sure you’ll find something.

MICHELE:  Except for Bridget.

DONNA:  She should be back soon.  She went out for a minute.  Why?  I wonder if I should stay and referee another match between you two.

MICHELE:  No…no it’s not like that at all.

DONNA:  Come on Michele you and I both know that you and your sister can’t stay in the same room for two seconds without wanting to kill each other.

MICHELE:  You know I’ve…been seeing Dr. Bingham.  I’ve learned so much about myself.

DONNA:  Well that’s good.  I just wish your sister would go see him.

MICHELE:  You know how bullheaded and stubborn Bridget can be.

DONNA:  I’m gonna get outta here... against my better judgment…but there’s something I have to do.

MICHELE:  Everything’s gonna be fine grandma Donna.  Don’t worry, I won’t fight with Bridget.

MICHELE KISSES DONNA ON HER LEFT CHEEK.

DONNA:  I’m serious!  I don’t want any more fighting in this family.

MICHELE:  I’m gonna do my part okay but…I really gotta go to the bathroom.

DONNA:  Okay alright I’ll see you later.

MICHELE:  Love you.

DONNA:  I love you too honey.  Behave.

MICHELE:  I will.

DEVIN HUTCHINS

DEVIN IS IN HIS NEW CLUB LOOKING UP AT A SIGN THAT READS THAT IS NAILED TO THE BACK WALL ABOVE AND BEHIND THE BAR:  CLUB FREEDOM.  HE SMILES AS ONE OF THE CONTRACTORS COMES IN.  DEVIN LOOKS AROUND.

DEVIN:  This is great.  You guys did a great job.

CONTRACTOR:  We got a couple more things to do.

DEVIN:  I’ve got the liquor license and…we should be ready to go after the inspection.  That’s fantastic.  Thank you.

DEVIN TURNS AROUND AND ADMIRES HIS 'CLUB FREEDOM' SIGN AFTER THE CONTRACTOR WALKS OUT.  HE TURNS BACK AROUND AND SEES SOMEONE.

DEVIN:  Donna.

DONNA:  Club Freedom huh?

DEVIN (smiling):  Yep.

DONNA:  You’ve…you’ve done a great job.

DEVIN:  Thank the contractors.

DONNA:  Right.  I mean I could’ve…rebuilt the Harbor Club but…it was time to give it up.

DEVIN:  What are you doing here?

DONNA:  I…I owe you an apology.

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

VICKY IS SITTING ACROSS FROM BRADLEY O’ NEILL AT A BAY CITY CENTER TABLE WHILE JAKE SEES THEM FROM A SHORT DISTANCE.  JAKE LEAVES.

VICKY:  So what’s goin on with you?

BRADLEY:  Not much.  Just…taking in Bay City.

VICKY:  is that right?  Bay City isn’t New York or anything.

BRADLEY:  I know.  That’s why I like it.  You know that’s where my nephew lives now. 

VICKY:  Your nephew?

BRADLEY:  My brother’s son Colin.  He loves the big city.  He’s always texting me about how much fun he’s having.

VICKY:  Well that’s good right?  That means he’s happy.

BRADLEY:  I don’t think his mother approves.  I’m sure you…you’ve heard of who his mother is.  Reva Shayne?

VICKY:  Really?  The Reva Shayne?   You mean the lady that was splashing in the pool declaring herself the Slut of Springfield?

BRADLEY:  Yep that’s the one.

VICKY:  I mean everyone knows she loved Josh Lewis.  Your brother must have really put the moves on her.

BRADLEY:  My brother told me that she wants Colin to live in Springfield, but he doesn’t want to. 

VICKY:  We always worry about our kids.

BRADLEY:  Yeah I…I know the feeling.

VICKY:  What do you mean?  You have kids?

BRADLEY:  I’m just…I’m just thinking about Bryant.

VICKY:  Bryant?  Is that your son?

BRADLEY:  No I…we raised him.

VICKY:  You mean you…and your wife.

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

RACHEL:  Sounds like you know something.

ELIZABETH:  Oh come on mom Cory doesn’t tell me all of his business.

RACHEL:  Hm somehow I don’t believe you, but I won’t push the issue.

ELIZABETH:  Thanks.  Where are you headed?

RACHEL:  I’m headed to the office.  You know Amanda won’t be back for a while.

ELIZABETH:  Why?  What happened?

RACHEL:  Alli’s been in an accident and she went to be with her.

ELIZABETH:  Oh no, is she gonna be okay?

RACHEL:  She hasn’t called me since she left, so I’m going to pick up the slack.

ELIZABETH:  Don’t work too hard mom. 

RACHEL:  Oh I won’t be.

ELIZABETH:  How long do you think Amanda’s gonna be gone?

RACHEL:  She’s on indefinite leave, so last night I put out a job listing on Baycityworks.com. 

ELIZABETH:  Have you gotten any hits?

RACHEL:  Yes, which is why I’m going to the office.  Matthew and I are gonna sort through them.  Hopefully we’ll find the best candidate.

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

DANA:  Well take your time and don’t accept anything less than what you’re worth.  These companies will try to lowball you since you’re right out of college.

BRYANT SITS DOWN AT AN EMPTY DESK, AND OPENS HIS LAPTOP.

DANA:  You should do a…salary comparison on wages.com.  You’ll get an idea of what a company should pay you.  Are you hungry?   Maybe we should go to the Center and get a bite to eat.

BRYANT IS STILL LOOKING AT THE SCREEN ON HIS LAPTOP.

DANA:  Bryant? 

BRYANT:  I’m sorry mom.  I’m just…looking at this job.  Seems interesting.  This company BAYCorP. 

DANA:  BAYCorP?  Why do you wanna work there?

BRYANT:  This position they have.  Assistant to the C.O.O.  No experience necessary.  Degree in Business administration.  Seems perfect.

DANA:  I really don’t think that’s a good idea.

BRYANT:  What are you talkin’ about mom?  This seems like a perfect opportunity.

DANA:  BAYCorP is the last place you should consider working.

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

BRADLEY:  Yeah.  He’s not our biological son.  We adopted him.

VICKY:  So you’re worried about him?

BRADLEY:  No no not at all in fact he just graduated from college.

VICKY:  Well that’s great isn’t it? 

BRADLEY:  Of course it is.  I couldn’t be more proud of him.

VICKY:  I know what you mean.   I worry about…all of mine.  Steven, Kirkland, Michele...

BRADLEY:  And what about Bridget?

VICKY:  Well I don’t worry about her so much because…I know she will land on her feet somehow. 

VICKY SIGHS.

VICKY:  She’s just…like her mother.

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

AT DONNA’S SUITE, MICHELE COMES UP TO THE LIVING ROOM ENTRANCE BUT HEARS CORY AND BRIDGET, AND DECIDES TO HIDE AND LISTENS TO THEIR CONVERSATION.

BRIDGET:  So what do you need to talk to me about?

CORY:  Your grandmother came to my house last night.

BRIDGET:  She did?  What did she say?

CORY:  She started arguing with my mother.

BRIDGET:  Must have been about Steven.

CORY:  No it wasn’t about your brother.  Is there something you need to tell me?

BRIDGET:  I know why Donna went to your house.  She wanted to talk about you about giving me chlamydia.

CORY:  I don’t have chlamydia.

BRIDGET:  How do you know?

CORY:  I’m on my way to the hospital.  My question is how did you get it?

BRIDGET:  I don’t know.

CORY:  What do you mean you don’t know?  There’s only one way you can get a S.T.I.

BRIDGET:  Are you accusing me of sleeping with someone else?

CORY:  Did you?

BRIDGET:  How can you even ask me a question like that?  Of course I didn’t!

CORY:  That doesn’t make any sense.  How could you not have slept with someone and gotten chlamydia?

BRIDGET:  How do we know that it wasn’t you who cheated on me?

CORY:  We used protection.

BRIDGET:  Obviously it may not have been enough.

CORY:  So…I’m going to the hospital to get tested. 

BRIDGET:  And if they find that you have chlamydia there’s…it might as well be over.  I could never trust you after that.

CORY:  And what if I don’t?  If I don’t have chlamydia, that means you were the one who cheated on me.

BRIDGET:  I didn’t cheat on you.

CORY:  And how am I supposed to know that?

BRIDGET:  Because you love me and you trust me.

CORY:  Like you’re loving and trusting me now?

BRIDGET:  I didn’t sleep with anyone else.  I have no idea how I got this.

CORY:  You…I can’t believe…

BRIDGET:  No you…you don’t believe me.  You don’t believe that I’ve been faithful to you.

CORY:  I’m going to the hospital. 

BRIDGET:  I’m…I’m gonna come with you.

CORY NODS HIS HEAD AND HE AND BRIDGET LEAVE.  MEANWHILE MICHELE EMERGES FROM HER HIDING SPOT….SMILING.

MICHELE:  It’s working out better than I ever thought.
