PREVIOUSLY ON ANOTHER WORLD
Gregory was involved in a car accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Lindsay Winthrop, Cass's niece and Stacey's daughter, was his physical therapist and they fell in love. It also turned out that Jake McKinnon is Lindsay's biological father.
Michele has revealed to Bridget that she switched Bridget's test to make it look like she has chlamydia, which led to her break up with Cory Hutchins
Grant has gotten possession of evidence of Paulina and Jack Snyder selling Remy Woods (Paulina's daughter) on the black market when Remy was a baby. Jack and Paulina had a past and rekindled their relationship. Grant used the blackmail to force Jack to leave Bay City and break up with Paulina. Grant has threatened to expose Jack if Paulina does not marry him.
AT THE CENTER, GREGORY IS SITTING AT A TABLE WHEN LINDSAY WALKS UP TO HIM.

LINDSAY: Hey there handsome.
GREGORY: Hey.
LINDSAY SITS ACROSS FROM HIM.
GREGORY: What’s up? Don’t you have to go to work in a few?
LINDSAY: Yeah.
LINDSAY FLASHES BACK (Episode 284)
DEVIN WALKS UP TO HER (DONNA), 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.
LINDSAY FLASHES BACK TO THE PRESENT.
GREGORY: You alright babe?
LINDSAY: Yeah…um…yeah. I had something to ask you.
GREGORY: Okay what is it?
LINDSAY: Well you know my mom left and…the apartment gets kind of lonely sometimes.
GREGORY: I’d love to keep you company more often.
LINDSAY: How about…permanently.
GREGORY: Permanently? Wait are you…you’re asking me to move in with you?
LINDSAY: I haven’t yet, but you beat me to it. So yes, Gregory, will you move in with me?
GREGORY: Wow…uh…um…yeah. Yeah! Yeah!
GREGORY AND LINDSAY BOTH GET UP AND HUG EACH OTHER.
GREGORY: Wow this is big.
LINDSAY: Yeah I’m…ready to take the next step.
GREGORY: So am I.
THEY KISS.

AT CLUB FREEDOM, DEVIN IS IN THE FRONT AREA NEXT TO THE BAR WITH PEOPLE WALKING AROUND. HE LOOKS AT THE LIQUOR LICENSE FRAMED ABOVE THE BAR ON THE BACK WALL, AND HE GETS A CALL ON HIS CELL PHONE.

| Devin Hutchins |
DEVIN PRESSES END CALL AS THE LEAD INSPECTOR WALKS UP TO HIM WITH A DOCUMENT.
DEVIN: So uh what do you think?
LEAD INSPECTOR: Everything is sound. Just sign here and you’re all set
.
DEVIN HAPPILY SIGNS THE PAPER.
DEVIN: Does this mean I can open my club?
LEAD INSPECTOR: You got it.
DEVIN: Thank you.
THE INSPECTORS LEAVE THE CLUB AND DEVIN SMILES.
MEANWHILE, SOMEONE WITH A BLACK LEATHER GLOVE ON HIS/HER RIGHT HAND PUTS A BURNER PHONE ON A DESK AND SMASHES IT IN ANGER TO PIECES WITH A HAMMER.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BACK AT THE CENTER, PAULINA IS WALKING OUT OF THE COFFEE SHOP TALKING ON HER CELL PHONE. SHE STOPS AND STEPS ASIDE OUT OF THE WAY OF THE ENTRANCE.
 |
| Paulina Cory |
PAULINA: I dunno sweety. Jake and I have…yeah we’ve been spending some time together. I’m just being a friend to him. He’s worried about his daughters. Remy I don’t know. I mean Jake and I have a lot of history. I’m not sure I…I just don’t know.
PAULINA OPENS HER PURSE DIGGING FOR SOMETHING AND DROPS HER PHONE. SHE BENDS DOWN TO PICK IT UP, AND WHEN STANDS BACK UP, SHE SEES GRANT STANDING IN FRONT OF HER.

INSIDE THE CORY MANSION, RACHEL IS ON HER CELL PHONE.
 |
| Rachel Cory Hutchins |
RACHEL: Hey Lizzie can you call Devin and invite him for dinner? Whatever Hilda’s cooking smells delicious.
RACHEL STARTS TO HEAR FAINT NOISES.
RACHEL: What’s that? I’ll call you back.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MEANWHILE, OUTSIDE THE CORY MANSION….

| Michele McKinnon |
 |
| Bridget McKinnon |
BRIDGET: That was…that was you? You…tampered with my test.
MICHELE: Negative test sis…negative.
BRIDGET’S BREATHING BECOMES LABORED.
BRIDGET: You…you? I…
MICHELE: You don’t have chlamydia, but I accomplished my goal. Cory broke up with you, and mom certainly doesn’t trust you.
MICHELE WALKS BY BRIDGET BUT BRIDGET GRABS ON TO MICHELE’S SHIRT AS SHE SLIPS TO THE GROUND.
BRIDGET: How…could…you? I…I can’t breathe!
BRIDGET TRIES TO TAKE OUT HER CELL PHONE BUT SHE’S TOO WEAK. HER FACE IS TURNING AS SHE STRUGGLES FOR EACH BREATH AS SHE FALLS ON THE GROUND.
MICHELE: Oh now you suddenly can’t breathe? Stop faking!
BRIDGET STOPS STRUGGLING AS SHE BECOMES UNCONSCIOUS.
MICHELE: Bridget?
MICHELE SQUATS DOWN AND LOOKS AT BRIDGET, WHO IS LYING ON THE GROUND UNRESPONSIVE.
MICHELE: Bridget? Come on stop.
RACHEL OPENS THE DOOR AND SEES BRIDGET AND MICHELE.
RACHEL: I heard some noises…Bridget?
RACHEL RUNS TO BRIDGET, WHO IS LYING ON THE GROUND UNCONSCIOUS. SHE SQUATS DOWN TO TEND TO HER, AND SLAPS BRIDGET GENTLY BUT BRIDGET DOESN’T RESPOND WHILE MICHELE STANDS OVER THEM.
RACHEL: She’s unresponsive. Michele call 9-1-1.
MICHELE: Okay. Uh…okay.
MICHELE TAKES OUT HER CELL PHONE AS STEVEN AND JOY WALK UP.

STEVEN: What happened here?
RACHEL: I don’t know but the ambulance is on its way.

PART 2
PAULINA: What do you want Grant?
GRANT: It’s been a few days and I haven’t gotten an answer.
PAULINA: Okay and you can wait a little longer. This is a big decision you know.
GRANT: Can Jack? I mean his whole career is in your hands.
PAULINA: No you mean blackmail in your hands.
GRANT: Come on Paulina. Don’t make this any more difficult than it has to be.
PAULINA: It’s not that hard at all. You’re a sociopathic blackmailer who thinks he can make me love him! Not exactly marriage material.
PAULINA WALKS OFF TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COFFEE HOUSE ENTRANCE AND TURNS HER BACK TO GRANT.
GRANT: You…you loved me once, and I have always loved you.
PAULINA TURNS AROUND AND FACES GRANT.
PAULINA: You love me huh?
GRANT: Yes.
PAULINA: If you love me…if you ever loved me, you’ll destroy those pictures.
GRANT: I…I can’t do that.
PAULINA: See. You haven’t changed at all. You’ll never change. I gotta go.
AS PAULINA TRIES TO PASS GRANT, HE GRABS HER LEFT ARM. HE BENDS DOWN AND WHISPERS SOMETHING TO HER.
GRANT: Think of Jack. His whole life will be destroyed because of you.
PAULINA: Let me go!
GREGORY RUNS UP AND PUSHES GRANT OFF OF PAULINA.
GREGORY: You heard the lady! Let her go!
GRANT: Gregory.
GREGORY: You just don’t stop do you? You’re harassing Paulina now!
GRANT: This doesn’t concern you.
GREGORY: You’re a piece of garbage you know that!
GRANT: Paulina, don’t forget what I said. Time’s running out. You’ve got till the end of the day.
GRANT WALKS AWAY.
GREGORY: You okay?
PAULINA: Yeah…yeah I’m fine. Thank you.
GREGORY: That guy is something else.
PAULINA: He hasn’t changed at all.
GREGORY: My sister got kidnapped and my mother ended up in a wheelchair because of him.
PAULINA: Cody Murcer.
GREGORY: He’s dangerous. I wish he would just leave Bay City for good.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEVIN HUTCHINS IS AT HIS EMPTY CLUB SMILING AS HE LOOKS AROUND. HE’S ON HIS CELL PHONE.
DEVIN: Yeah mom it’s gonna happen. The club passed inspection…Yes I got my staff. I just gotta call em and let em know when they can start work. Opening night’s gonna be great.
Great for Bay City. Thanks mom I appreciate it. Love you, too.
DEVIN PRESSES END CALL AS TWO BIG MEN, BOTH DRESSED IN BLACK CLOTHING AND BLACK BOOTS, WALK IN.
DEVIN: Oh did you forget something?
MAN 1: We’re here to deliver a message.
DEVIN: Wait a second I…I didn’t see you when the inspectors were here.
MAN 2: You have one more chance to comply. If you do, we’ll walk away and tell them.
DEVIN WALKS UP TO THEM.
DEVIN: Oh you’re here on behalf of the person who’s texting me. You tell him…or her…that they are not gonna use my club to clean their damned drug money!
MAN 1: Suit yourself.
MAN 2 SUCKER PUNCHES DEVIN IN THE FACE, WHO FALLS TO THE FLOOR, AND THEY BOTH STOMP HIM AND KICK HIM REPEATEDLY WITH THEIR BOOTS.
MICHELE: No you seriously are not blaming me for this!
STEVEN: I’m not accusing you I just…I just wanna know what happened.
MICHELE: We were talking and she just collapsed. She said she couldn’t breathe.
CORY RUNS UP SWEATING FROM HIS RUN AS THE PARAMEDICS ARRIVE.

| Cory Hutchins |
CORY: What…what’s goin’ on here?
RACHEL: I came outside and found Bridget lying on the ground.
JOY TOUCHES STEVEN ON HIS CHEST.
JOY: Is there anything you want me to do?
STEVEN: No sweetheart. Just…come with me to the hospital. I’m worried about my sister.
RACHEL: I’m going, too.
THE PARAMEDICS WHEEL BRIDGET AWAY ON A GURNEY WHILE CORY GOES UP TO MICHELE.
CORY: What the hell happened out here?
MICHELE: I’ll…I gotta go. I gotta make sure Bridget’s okay.
FREEZE FRAME ON MICHELE…SLOW FADE OUT…END OF 293
Poor Bridget. Though Bridget is hardly an innocent here, she's really suffering now.
ReplyDeleteAnother strong episode. Michele is clearly in shock from what just happened, barely showing emotion as Bridget is wheeled away. I'm sure she'll begin to panic soon.
Gregory and Lindsay moving in together. That'll be short-lived, since Lindsay clearly has feelings for Devin, and that's definitely down to her upset of seeing Devin kiss Donna. Oh Donna, you cougar! LOL.
I really enjoyed the confrontation between Paulina, Grant, and Gregory. Gregory can't stand him, but of course, the people folks hate the most tend to be the ones they end up in the orbit of. I can feel that's gonna happen with Gregory very soon.
Devin is in deep trouble now. These guys aren't gonna take no for an answer. I wonder who's behind it, and how deep this will go.
Great work as always.
