PREVIOUSLY ON ANOTHER WORLD
--Donna kissed Devin in an effort to make Michael jealous.  Later, Devin bumped into Donna at Bay City Center, and she snapped at him.
--Brianna Jameson, who’s real identity is Ellen Benson, vowed to fulfill her mother Taylor Benson’s dying wish of “finishing Sharlene Hudson.”  Brianna has tampered with the brakes on Sharlene’s car and has also tried running her over in the Bay City Medical Center garage.  Brianna also kidnapped Maggie as part of Christy’s plot to get a sperm sample from Cass so she could get pregnant
---Maggie Winthrop, who is suspicious of Brianna, has expressed her displeasure of Matt dating Brianna.  To throw Maggie off her trail, Brianna has methodically set up Maggie with a series of verbal confrontations.  Thomasina has caught Maggie angrily confronting Brianna twice.  Brianna also spiked Maggie’s iced coffee with fentanyl.  Maggie had withdrawal symptoms while on duty, and Thomasina ran blood tests on her, which discovered the fentanyl in Maggie’s system.  Thomasina suspended Maggie and ordered her to an inpatient drug rehabilitation facility.

PART 1
 
Devin Hutchins

Donna Love

DEVIN:  An apology?
DONNA:  Yes…for the way I acted with you at the Center.
DEVIN:  Awww it’s okay.  I know you got a lot on your plate but…you were kinda mean to me for no reason.
DONNA:  It’s like you said I…I have a lot going on, but it’s no excuse for me to be mean. 

THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER FOR A FEW MORE SECONDS.

DONNA:  Well I…guess I’ll leave you to your new club.

DONNA TURNS AROUND TO LEAVE.

DEVIN:  Hey Donna.  Wait.

DEVIN WALKS UP TO HER, PULLS HER CLOSER TO HIM, AND KISSES HER.  DONNA PULLS AWAY.

DONNA:  What are you doing?
DEVIN:  I’m doing what you want…what we both want.  You want me to stop?
DONNA:  No…don’t stop.

THEY CONTINUE TO KISS AND AT THE DOOR, UNSEEN BY DEVIN, LINDSAY ENTERS, WITNESSES THE KISS, AND LEAVES.

AT THE FARM, SHARLENE IS CUDDLED UP TO JOHN WITH HER FEET ON THE COUCH ALMOST IN A FETAL POSITION, WHILE JOHN HAS HIS LEFT ARM AROUND HER LEFT SHOULDER.
Sharlene Hudson


Dr. John Hudson

SHARLENE:  I just can’t stop thinking about it.
JOHN:  Me neither.  We’ve gotta find answers.
SHARLENE:  I have no idea where to even start looking I mean...who would be after us?

SOMEONE RINGS THE DOORBELL.  JOHN GETS UP AND GOES AND OPENS THE DOOR.

JOHN:  We need some solid evidence.  Whoever it is had to have made a mistake somewhere.  Cass, Frankie.
CASS:  Hey John.
FRANKIE:  Can we come in?
JOHN:  Of course.
 
Frankie Frame
JOHN SHUTS THE DOOR BEHIND THEM AS FRANKIE GOES UP TO SHARLENE.
Cass Winthrop

FRANKIE:  Are you okay?
SHARLENE:  Okay as I’m gonna be I guess.  I probably won’t ever be okay until we find out who’s trying to kill me.
FRANKIE:  Well I don’t know if we found the person, but we found out something.
JOHN:  You did?
CASS:  We went to the place that Frankie and I last saw Taylor to try and get some answers.
SHARLENE:  What…what did you find?
FRANKIE:  We posed as…Taylor’s children.  I told her that my name was Brianna.
CASS:  She said she didn’t have a son…and that she didn’t have a daughter named Brianna.
SHARLENE:  So…are you saying Taylor had a daughter?
JOHN:  What made you suspect Brianna?
FRANKIE:  Maggie came and asked me to look into her background and I refused.  I thought it was just some jealousy on her part but maybe she was onto something.  I mean I…I can’t be sure if it’s her or not.
SHARLENE:  So let’s say if...Brianna’s the one behind this.  Why?  Why would she be trying to kill me?
JOHN:  We’re gonna need more evidence.
CASS:  The next place we’re going is the hospital.  See if we can talk to Maggie.
JOHN:  We’re coming with you.

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

AT THE HOSPITAL, THOMASINA IS IN HER OFFICE WHEN SOMEONE KNOCKS ON THE DOOR.
Dr. Thomasina Mason

Brianna Jameson

THOMASINA:  Come in.

BRIANNA WALKS IN.

BRIANNA:  Hi Dr. Mason.
THOMASINA:  Hi Brianna what can I do for you?
BRIANNA:  I was just…I heard that Dr. Winthrop was suspended.
THOMASINA:  I really can’t…comment on that.
BRIANNA:  I understand I…was just concerned about her.  She had been acting real strangely lately.
THOMASINA:  I told her about that.  I’m sure she appreciates it. 
BRIANNA:  I’m not so sure.  I mean…I wasn’t exactly Dr. Winthrop’s favorite person.
THOMASINA:  She’s been dealing with a lot and I gave her some time off.  I’m sure she’ll be as good as new when she gets back.
BRIANNA:   Maybe…a vacation would do her some good.

MEANWHILE, MAGGIE IS IN A ROOM, LYING DOWN ON A BED IN A FETAL POSITION, ROCKING BACK AND FORTH TO ALLEVIATE THE PAIN OF DETOXING.

PART 2

AT THE CENTER, LINDSAY IS SITTING AT A TABLE AS SHE FLASHES BACK TO SEEING DEVIN AND DONNA KISSING. 

LINDSAY:   What is he thinking?

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


DEVIN AND DONNA ARE KISSING AND THEY SUDDENLY STOP AND PULL AWAY FROM EACH OTHER.

DONNA:  What...what just happened?
DEVIN:  We kissed.
DONNA:  Well that just can’t happen again.
DEVIN:  I asked if you wanted me to stop and you said no.
DONNA:  You’re right I didn’t want you to stop.
DEVIN:  So what does this all mean?
DONNA:  It means that you’re attracted to me.
DEVIN:  And I think the feeling’s mutual.  That’s why you snapped at me at the Center when I bumped into you.

DEVIN WALKS SLOWLY TOWARD DONNA.

DEVIN:  The truth is I haven’t been able to get you out of my mind...ever since that…
DONNA:  You mean that time I kissed you when Michael walked in.  I was trying to make him jealous.
DEVIN:  You’re in denial Donna.  There’s an attraction here.

DEVIN LEANS IN TO KISS DONNA…

DONNA:  But it doesn’t mean that we should explore it.  I mean look at us…the age difference.
DEVIN:  Age didn’t stop you when you dated Matt Cory.
DONNA:  How did you know about that?
DEVIN:  That doesn’t matter.  I’m young and…you’re…
DONNA:  Don’t say it.
DEVIN:  Okay okay I won’t but…you have to be honest with yourself...we’re attracted to each other.

DEVIN LOWERS HIS VOICE AND LEANS INTO DONNA’S LEFT EAR.

DEVIN:  You didn’t come all the way down here to apologize.  You came to see me.

HE PECKS HER ON HER NECK.  DONNA CLOSES HER EYES SO SHE CAN TAKE IN ALL OF DEVIN’S WORDS

DEVIN:  To smell me…to kiss me again.

DEVIN MOVES OVER TO DONNA’S LIPS.  THEY KISS AGAIN, AND DONNA PULLS AWAY.

DONNA:  My God I…I can’t do this.

DONNA LEAVES QUICKLY.

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


AT THE HOSPITAL, THOMASINA IS IN HER OFFICE, WHEN JOHN KNOCKS ON THE DOOR AND PEEKS IN.

JOHN:  Hey you got a minute?
THOMASINA:  Sure.  What’s going on?

SHARLENE, CASS AND FRANKIE FOLLOW JOHN IN.

CASS:  Hey Dr. Mason.
THOMASINA:  What do you all need?
FRANKIE:  We wondered if Maggie started her shift yet.
SHARLENE:  We need to talk to her.
THOMASINA:  I’m sorry but…Maggie’s on leave.
CASS:  Leave?  What happened?  She would have told us.
THOMASINA:  She…really didn’t have time to tell you.
FRANKIE:  Why?
THOMASINA:  She probably kept this from you. 
CASS:  Kept what from us? 
THOMASINA:  She’s a Wood Pines. 
SHARLENE:  Wood Pines? 
CASS:  You gotta be kidding right?   That’s an inpatient drug rehab facility.  What would Maggie be doing there?
FRANKIE:  Yeah Maggie’s a lot of things but she’s definitely not a drug addict.
THOMASINA:  Well she must have had you fooled.  She was going through withdrawal symptoms and I couldn’t put our patients at risk, so as a condition of her employment I told her to check in to Wood Pines.

BRIANNA WALKS UP TO THE DOOR AND LISTENS IN.

THOMASINA:  Prior to that Maggie has been having trouble here at work.  She was getting into it with one of our nurses.

FRANKIE LOOKS AT CASS AND THEN BACK AT THOMASINA.

JOHN:  Would the nurse happen to be Brianna?
THOMASINA:  Listen I can’t discuss work matters right now.  If you want answers I would suggest you go talk to Maggie.

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

MEANWHILE, OUTSIDE THE DOOR…

BRIANNA:  They’re not gonna get that chance.

FREEZE FRAME ON BRIANNA…SLOW FADE OUT…END OF 284

  1. Oooo Brianna is on the warpath. Great tight episode once again.

    I enjoy the sensual connection Devin and Donna have. That's another hot story there. But Lindsay is already onto them. Donna can't fight her feelings forever.

    I enjoyed the rest of the show's focus on Brianna and the mystery surrounding her identity. Cass and Frankie know they've made the connection, but they don't have the evidence they need. It's all coming together though. Hopefully Brianna doesn't get them before they have a chance. Great scenes there too.

    Once again, a fabulous episode.
