Dana Kramer

PART I

Iris Spaulding

IRIS and DANA are in IRIS’S suite.

DANA:  I’m sure you can’t forget that.
IRIS:  That’s not the only fact involving Bryant.  He stands to inherit Mac’s entire fortune including Cory Productions.
DANA:  Well it’s not Cory Productions anymore.
IRIS:  Oh yeah that’s right it’s…BayCorP. 
DANA:  Everybody knows you were kicked out of the company.
IRIS:  You don’t have to remind me of that.
DANA:  I mean doesn’t it make you mad?  Don’t you wanna make them pay for what they did to you?
IRIS:  Why do you care?
DANA:  Because they’re stealing from my son.
IRIS:  I know, and he deserves his seat at that table.  I’m surprised you’re not going to contest it in court.
DANA:  That’s Bryant’s decision to make.
IRIS:  So what’s he doing?   Biding his time until he strikes? 
DANA:  He hasn’t communicated this with me.
IRIS:  So then what are you doing here?  Oh I get it.  You think that I want to team up with Bryant to destroy that company.
DANA:  Your words not mine.
IRIS:  My words…your thoughts.
DANA:  Listen I don’t want Bryant involved in your war against the Corys.
IRIS:  What did you say just a few minutes ago?  Something about…Bryant’s decision?
DANA:  I’m well aware of what my son’s choices are.  He’s young and he doesn’t need to be in the middle of this.

VIVIEN walks toward DANA and IRIS but stops, hides and listens.

Vivien Gorrow

IRIS:  Isn’t that sweet?  You’re being the protective mother.  Bryant is Mac’s grandson and his rightful heir.  If only he knew the fortune he stood to inherit he would probably…oh my God.   You haven’t even told him.

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

AT THE CORYS, RACHEL is in the living room when MATT walks in.  RACHEL is looking on her computer.

Rachel Cory Hutchins

Matt Cory

MATT:  I combed through the hundreds of resumes we got.
RACHEL:  Anything stick out to you?
MATT:  Actually one did.  I printed it out.
RACHEL:  Only one?
MATT:  Unfortunately.
RACHEL:  We’ll need a larger pool of candidates for the position.
MATT:  I think you need to take a look at this one.

MATT gives RACHEL the paper and RACHEL skims it over.

RACHEL:  Wow this is…quite impressive.

MATT:  Everything we’re looking for.
RACHEL:  I don’t see a whole lot of experience.
MATT:  Not many new college graduate have that mom.  I can teach him what he needs to know.
RACHEL:  I’m gonna trust your word on this Matthew.  Why don’t you call him in for an interview?

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

AT THE CENTER, CHARLIE is walking out of the coffee shop with a cup and encounters BRYANT.

Charlie Winthrop Harrison

Bryant Kramer

BRYANT:  Hey you’re…Charlie right?
CHARLIE:  Yep.
BRYANT:  Frankie’s your mom.
CHARLIE:  Right again.
BRYANT:  I’m…I’m sorry to bother you.
CHARLIE:  No not at all I’m just in a bit of a hurry.  My husband’s waiting for me.
BRYANT:  Oh okay I won’t keep you.  It’s just that…your mom is wonderful.  She helped raise me.
CHARLIE:  Hmmm she did.
BRYANT:  Yeah.
CHARLIE:  Well uh we’re gonna have to table this conversation.
BRYANT:  Okay good.
CHARLIE:  I…
BRYANT:  Your husband.
CHARLIE:  Right, Bryant.  I’ll see you around.
BRYANT:  Okay.

CHARLIE LEAVES AS BRYANT WATCHES.  HE GETS A PHONE CALL.

BRYANT:  Hello?  This is he.  Rachel Hutchins?  Uh yeah I’d love to come in.  Tomorrow’s perfect.  Thanks.

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

AT TOPS, CASS AND FRANKIE ARE SITTING AT A TABLE.  FRANKIE’S BACK IS TO THE ELEVATOR.

Cass Winthrop

Frankie Frame

FRANKIE:  Soooo you brought me all the way up here.
CASS:  Why can’t I take you out to dinner?
FRANKIE:  I didn’t say that.  I just…you called me to meet at your office and now we’re here.

THE ELEVATOR DOORS OPEN AND BRADLEY O’ NEILL WALKS TO THE COUNTER AS A PERSON GREETS HIM.

Bradley O' Neill

BRADLEY:  Take out?  O’Neill.
PERSON:  Okay I’ll be right back.

HE LOOKS OUT ONTO THE FLOOR AND SEES THE BACK OF FRANKIE AND CASS.

CASS:  We’re gonna be married again.

FRANKIE:  Yeah but we haven’t set a date yet.
CASS:  Yes we have. 
FRANKIE:  We did, as in you and I?  This is the first I’m hearing of this.
CASS:  Right before Charlie came to the office I made three phone calls.
FRANKIE (smiling):  Go on.
CASS:  I took care of everything.  The minister and the church.
FRANKIE:  Really counselor? 
CASS:  Yes.  Turns out there’s an opening in two weeks.
FRANKIE:  So are you trying to tell me that you set a date?
CASS:  Yes the invitations are being made even as we speak.  That was the third call.
FRANKIE:  So it’s happening.

FRANKIE FLASHES BACK TO (EPISODE 296) WHEN SHE LOOKS OVER THE FINAL DIVORCE DECREE FOR FRANCESCA O’ NEILL AND BRADLEY O’ NEILL. 

 FRANKIE:  Wow it’s…it’s really over.  Now we can get married. 

She places the papers back in the envelope, puts the envelope in her purse, and leaves.

SHE FLASHES BACK TO THE PRESENT.

FRANKIE:  Everything seems to be falling perfectly into place.
CASS:  Makes it real doesn’t it?  We’re gonna be married again.
FRANKIE:  Thank you.
CASS:  You’re welcome.

CASS LEANS IN AND KISSES FRANKIE WHILE THE PERSON BRINGS BRADLEY HIS TAKE OUT. 

PERSON:  Here you go Mr. O’ Neill.

FRANKIE PULLS BACK FROM CASS AS SHE OVERHEARD THE PERSON SAY BRADLEY’S LAST NAME.  SHE LOOKS BACK AND SEES NOBODY.

CASS:  Hey what’s wrong?

FRANKIE LOOKS BACK AT CASS.

PART 2

DANA:  I wanna protect Bryant.
IRIS:  I’m a mother, so I get it, but keeping the truth from him is not going to protect him.  In fact it’s gonna have the opposite effect.
DANA:  Don’t act like you’re so concerned about my son.
IRIS:  He’s Mac’s grandson so that makes him family.
DANA:  Family?  You don’t have any loyalty to your family.  You want to destroy them.
IRIS:  You’ve got me all wrong.  I don’t want anyone to get hurt.  I just want what’s rightfully mine.
DANA:  What more do you want?  You’re Brandon Spaulding’s daughter. 
IRIS:  Brandon was my biological father, but Mac adopted me, raised me, and loved me as his own.  That company is every bit mine as it is theirs.
DANA:  That’s all well and good, but don’t put my son in the middle of it.

DANA LEAVES AND IRIS TURNS TO HER LEFT.

IRIS:  Whoa!  Vivien how long have you been standing there?
VIVIEN:  I just…wanted to find out where the blankets were. 
IRIS:  Yeah sure.  How much of that conversation did you hear?
VIVIEN:  About Mac Cory’s grandson?  Not much.
IRIS:  So then you heard everything?
VIVIEN:  Look I promise you I won’t tell anybody.  I don’t even know anybody in this town.
IRIS:  Good.  The linen closet is near the bathroom.

IRIS GETS ANOTHER PHONE CALL ON HER CELL PHONE.

IRIS:  Is my suite becoming Grand Central Station?   Send them up.

SHE SITS DOWN ON THE COUCH AND CROSSES HER LEGS AS THE ELEVATOR DOORS OPEN.

IRIS:  I’ve been expecting you.  We have some things to discuss.

IT’S BRYANT, WHO WALKS IN AS VIVIEN WATCHES.

BRYANT:  This shouldn’t take that long.
IRIS:  Oh?
BRYANT:  I just wanted to share the good news with you.
IRIS:  You’ve taken over BayCorP.
BRYANT:  Not yet, but I got an interview with Rachel.
IRIS:  That’s a good start.
BRYANT:  Guess the train has left the station.
IRIS:  That company belongs to you.  It’s time you take it.
BRYANT:  I’m not gonna do the raptor thing and swoop down on my prey.  I’m gonna work this methodically.
IRIS:  Don’t take too much time.
BRYANT:  Wait a second.  I think you need to remember.  The deal doesn’t happen without me, so I will do this is in my time, not yours.

BRYANT WALKS TO THE ELEVATOR AND TURNS AROUND.

BRYANT:  I’ll be in touch.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AT THE CENTER, BRADLEY IS ON HIS CELL PHONE WITH LILA.

Lila Roberts

BRADLEY:  We may need to go plan B.
LILA:  You wanted to pull out of our original plan a while ago.
BRADLEY:  Well things have changed, and the stakes are higher. 
LILA:  Well what do you mean?
BRADLEY:  I saw them at Tops tonight. 
LILA:  What were they doin?
BRADLEY:  I dunno maybe they were having dinner or something but they’ve set a date. 
LILA:  They what?
BRADLEY:  Cass and Frankie are definitely getting married.  You may need to come here.
LILA:  You’re right.  I’ll be damned if I let Cass marry that woman.  We gotta stop that weddin’.

PART 1

IN HER SUITE, IRIS is applying her make up in the living room as she gets a call on her cell phone.

Iris Spaulding

IRIS:  Iris Spaulding.  A young lady wants to see me.  I’m gonna need more information than that.  Did you get a name?  Of course not.  You get paid very well to screen our visitors.  I don’t care if she blew past you.  You’re supposed to do your job!   I’ll be putting a call in to your supervisor!

IRIS presses end call and her elevator doors open.  A young WOMAN walks in.

Young Woman

WOMAN:  Hi oh my God I’ve finally gotten in touch with you.

IRIS:  Who the hell are you?
WOMAN:  Oh I’m…soooo sorry.  I didn’t tell the concierge my name.  I kinda wanted it to be a surprise.
IRIS:  If you don’t get out of my suite I will call the police and have you arrested for trespassing.
WOMAN:  Everything my mom said about you is true.  This is a pretty nice place.
IRIS:  Okay that’s it.

IRIS starts to dial 9-1-1 and the WOMAN runs over and gently places her hand on Iris’s phone.  Iris steps back.

IRIS:  What do you think you’re doing?  What do you want from me?
WOMAN:  I’m…I…I didn’t mean to scare you.  My mother worked for you.
IRIS:  Well I used to run Cory Productions and I was on the hospital board.  That could mean a lot of people.
WOMAN:  She didn’t work at any of those places.  You see before my mom died she wanted me to find you and…tell you how grateful she was to work for you.
IRIS:  If your mother didn’t work at Cory, and she didn’t work at the hospital, then how did she work for me?  Wait a minute.  Are you talking about…?
WOMAN:  Vivien Gorrow.
IRIS:  Vivien?  She never mentioned having a daughter.
WOMAN:  I was born after she left Bay City.  She has fond memories of working for you.  She told me so many stories about you before she passed away.
IRIS:  Who are you?
WOMAN:  Vivien.
IRIS:  No that was your mother’s name.
WOMAN:  It’s also my name.  I’m Vivien Gorrow, Jr.
IRIS:  So say I believe you.  Why are you here?
VIVIEN:  My mom said that I could come to you if I needed anything.
IRIS:  And what is that?
VIVIEN:  A job.

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

AT CASS'S OFFICE, CASS is sitting at his desk on his office phone as CHARLIE walks in.

Cass Winthrop

CASS:  That was quick.  Are you sure we’ll be able to have it that day?...Great.  Thank you.

CASS hangs up, gets up and greets CHARLIE.

Charlie Winthrop Harrison

CASS:  Hey beautiful.

They hug.

CHARLIE (pulling out the chair across from Cass):  Hey dad.
CASS:  What’s up? 
CHARLIE:  Oh I…just came to see you.
CASS:  Uh oh.  What’s wrong?
CHARLIE:  Oh no.  Nothing’s wrong.  In fact, everything couldn’t be more right.
CASS:  I’m intrigued.  Tell your old man what’s going on.

CHARLIE smiles.

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

AT THE WINTHROPS, FRANKIE walks in from the bedroom, fully dressed, and on her cell phone.

Frankie Frame

FRANKIE:  When do you think you’ll have those phone records ready?...Okay you can send them to my phone.  I owe ya one.  Thanks.

SOMEONE knocks on the door and FRANKIE goes and opens it.  She sees a young GUY.

FRANKIE:  Can I help you?
GUY:  You’re Francesca O’ Neill?
FRANKIE:  Um yes.
GUY (giving her an envelope):  This is for you.

The GUY leaves FRANKIE at the door.  She opens the envelope and her eyes widen as she reads the contents.

FRANKIE:  Wow it’s…it’s really over.  Now we can get married. 

She places the papers back in the envelope, puts the envelope in her purse, and leaves.

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

AT THE HOTEL, BRADLEY O’ NEILL is on his phone reading a text from VICKY.  It reads:  Bridget is in the hospital.  I won’t be able to make it.  Sorry.

Bradley O' Neill

BRADLEY:  Wow. 

BRADLEY gets up, grabs his sport jacket, opens the door and sees BRYANT.

Bryant Kramer

BRYANT:  Hey Brad what’s up?

BRADLEY:  Bryant.  Uh what are you doing here?
BRYANT (walking in):  I’m glad I caught you.  I had to come straight over here.
BRADLEY:  Must be serious.  Is everything okay?
BRYANT:  It’s great man.  But listen I walking through that little plaza the other day.
BRADLEY:  Plaza?
BRYANT:  I think they call it Bay City Center but I saw her.  I mean I hadn’t seen her in a long time since she left.
BRADLEY:  She left?  Who are you talking about?
BRYANT:  Frankie.  I saw Frankie.

BRADLEY pauses for a moment.

BRADLEY:  You…saw Frankie?
BRYANT:  Yeah and check it out, she’s got a daughter, too.  I think they were having lunch or something. 
BRADLEY:  I knew that.  You…didn’t mention me did you?
BRYANT:  Come on.  Why wouldn’t I have? 
BRADLEY:  Bryant…you shouldn’t have done that.

CAMERA PAN ON BRADLEY…SLOW FADE TO THEME SONG.

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

PART II

CHARLIE:  It’s been quite a day.  I don’t even know where to start.
CASS:  From the beginning?
CHARLIE:  I got good news and bad news.  Which one do you wanna start with?
CASS:  Good news first please.
CHARLIE:  Okay well.  I was having breakfast with mom and she bought me a latte, and it smelled so good.
CASS:  Fresh smelling coffee is always good news.
CHARLIE:  Well it smelled so good that I had to go puke.
CASS:  Now you’re not making any sense.  The aroma of your latte made you throw up?
CHARLIE:  So I thought it was just nausea, but I went to the hospital I had some pain in my stomach.
CASS:  That doesn’t sound like good news to me.  Are you okay?
CHARLIE:  Don’t worry dad I’m fine. 
CASS:  Did you see a doctor?
CHARLIE:  Lindsay found me so she brought me to Dr. Davidson and she took a look at me.
CASS:  I bet you resisted.
CHARLIE:  How did you know?
CASS:  I’ve only known you all of your life, so what happened next?
CHARLIE:  I thought she was gonna tell me that it was just gas.
CASS:  So you’re saying you didn’t have bubble guts.
CHARLIE:  No I definitely don’t have.  I have something that’s alive and well.  In fact, it’s kicked me a few times on the way here.

CASS gets up and walks over to her.

CASS:  Are you…am I…gonna be a grandfather?

CHARLIE nods her head and smiles.

CASS:  Wow.  Oh wow.  Congratulations!   This day gets better and better.  Did you tell Kirkland?  Where is he?
CHARLIE:  He went to the hospital.  I had to come and tell you as soon as I could.
CASS:  Since we’re sharing all this cheer, I’ve got some news for you, too.  Your mom is on her way down here so I…

FRANKIE walks in.

FRANKIE:  Heyyyy sweety. 

She kisses Charlie on her left cheek and then kisses Cass.

FRANKIE:  Hey babe. 
CASS:  You came just in time.
FRANKIE:  Oh in time for what?
CASS:  Charlie has something to tell you.
CHARLIE:  I’m pregnant.
FRANKIE:  Oh my God.  Congratulations! 

FRANKIE hugs CHARLIE.

FRANKIE:  No wonder you didn’t drink your latte.  How long have you known?
CHARLIE:  For a few hours.
FRANKIE:  Cass we’re gonna be grandparents.  That’s terrific hun.  How far along are you?
CHARLIE:  Twelve weeks.
FRANKIE:  Wow.
CASS:  We need to go celebrate.  Let’s go to the Center.
FRANKIE:  Sounds good to me.  What do you think Charlie?
CHARLIE:  I’d love to but Kirkland’s waiting for me at the hospital.
FRANKIE:  Oh is he okay?
CHARLIE:  Bridget’s there.  I guess I’ll find out why when I get there.
FRANKIE:  Okay of course go…go be with your husband.
CASS:  Wait a minute kiddo.  You said you had something else to tell me.
CHARLIE:  Oh um, that can wait.  I don’t wanna spoil the good vibes.
CASS:  Okay well, you know you can tell me anything.
CHARLIE:  I know.
FRANKIE:  We’ll…see ya later.  Love you.
CHARLIE:  Love you, too.

CHARLIE leaves CASS and FRANKIE by themselves.

FRANKIE:  I guess it’s just me and you.
CASS:  Change of plans.
FRANKIE:  Oh?
CASS:  We’re goin’ to Tops.

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

IRIS:  She named you after her?  How do I know you’re telling the truth?

VIVIEN, JR. digs around in her purse and takes out a somewhat crumpled piece of paper.

VIVIEN:  I knew you would need proof so…here.

She gives it to Iris who looks it over.

IRIS:  A DNA test.  How long have you had this?
VIVIEN:  Since my mom passed away.  I knew someday I’d look for you.
IRIS:  DNA tests can be doctored.  How do I know this is real?
VIVIEN:  But wait…there’s more.

VIVIEN digs in her purse and pulls out another crumpled piece of paper.

IRIS:  Birth certificate?

VIVIEN starts digging in her purse again.

VIVIEN:  I’ve got more proof.  I’ve got a picture of my mom holding me.  I got a picture of the nurse holding me.  I’ve got a…
IRIS:  Let me…see the picture.

VIVIEN gives IRIS the photo of Vivien.  She looks at the picture intently.

IRIS:  That…definitely is Vivien. 
VIVIEN:  I’ve got more….
IRIS:  You don’t…need to give me anything else.  I believe you.
VIVIEN:  You…believe me?
IRIS:  That is what I just said right?
VIVIEN:  So you’ll…let me work for you…like my mom did?
IRIS:  I’m looking to hire anyone.
VIVIEN:  Oh okay well.  I’m very glad I found you.
IRIS:  Where are you staying tonight?
VIVIEN:  I’m going to the bus station to go back home.
IRIS:  I have a…guest bedroom you can sleep in.  You must be exhausted from the ride.  You can stay here.  Tonight only.
VIVIEN:  Oh.  Oh Miss Spaulding thank you so much.

VIVIEN hugs her as IRIS tries to pull away.

IRIS:  Don’t push your luck.
VIVIEN:  Oh I’m sorry.  I’ll…go to my room.

VIVIEN takes her things and goes to the guest room as IRIS gets another call on her cell phone.

IRIS:  If it isn’t the incompetent concierge.  Oh you got a name this time.  Send her up.

IRIS turns her back to the elevator as the doors open. 

IRIS:  I was wondering when you were coming to see me.

IRIS turns around and sees DANA KRAMER walk in.

Dana Kramer

DANA:  It’s time we had a talk…about Bryant.
IRIS:  That’s right.  Bryant Kramer, your son…Mac’s grandson. 

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

BRYANT:  What do you mean?  I thought you would want to see her.
BRADLEY:  She left to come here and be with Cass, and as far I know they’re still together.  I don’t wanna cause her any pain.
BRYANT:  Oh come on Brad.  You mean to tell me you came all the way to Bay City to not cause Frankie any heartache?
BRADLEY:  Yeah besides I…may have met someone else.
BRYANT:  Um Brad you’re talking to me here.  You and Frankie raised me.
BRADLEY:  Frankie had no memory of who she was.
BRYANT:  And you two were perfectly happy and in love before she remembered her life in Bay City.
BRADLEY:  I had to let her go.
BRYANT:  You’re not fooling me.  You haven’t let her go at all, and after my talk with her, I don’t think she’s let you go either.
BRADLEY:  Now you’re reaching. 
BRYANT:  Am I?  You two spent over ten years together.  A love like that just doesn’t disappear.  I think she might still have feelings for you.
BRADLEY:  I am not going to cause any conflict for her.  That’s the last thing I wanna do.
BRYANT:  Look man, you love Frankie.  You didn’t come all this way for nothing.  You came to get her back.  Somebody’s gonna have to lose.  Why should it be you?  I’ll see ya later.

BRYANT leaves and Bradley makes a phone call on his cell phone.

BRADLEY:  Hey.  Look I can’t go through with this alright.

The WOMAN on the other end has long dark hair and she responds via speaker.

WOMAN:  Oh no you’re not Bradley O’ Neill.  We done came too far for you to pull out now.  Look you better fight for her, cuz she sure ain’t right for him.  If that don’t work, we gon’ have to go to plan B.  I’ll call you later.

The WOMAN who presses end call and puts the phone back in her purse is LILA ROBERTS.

Lila Roberts

LILA:  Cuz I’m gon save you Cass from lyin' Frankie.

• Bridget and Michele have been at each other's throats since Michele returned to Bay City.  More recently, Michele hacked into the Bay City Medical Center server and changed Bridget's test results to make it look like she has chlamydia.  After an argument in front of the Corys, Bridget collapsed and was rushed to the hospital.
• Kirkland has resolved to tell Charlie about his affair with Eric Stenbeck, but Charlie's latest news may keep him quiet

PART 1

AT THE HOSPITAL, BRIDGET IS LYING ON A GURNEY, UNCONSCIOUS, AND BEING WHEELED IN ON A THROUGH THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING EMERGENCY ROOM DOUBLE DOORS BY PARAMEDICS WITH RACHEL, STEVEN, JOY, MICHELE, AND CORY RIGHT BEHIND THEM.

Rachel Cory Hutchins

Dr. Steven Frame

Joy Kramer

Michele McKinnon

Bridget McKinnon

Dr. Russ Matthews

RUSS:  What’s going on?
PARAMEDIC #1:  Patient unresponsive. 
PARAMEDIC #2:  We found her in front of the Cory estate

RUSS LOOKS AT BRIDGET AND PUSHES HIS RIGHT FOREFINGER AND MIDDLE FINGER ON THE SIDE OF HER NECK.

RUSS:  She barely has a pulse.  Face is red.  I know what this is.  Get her into an exam area.
PARAMEDIC #1:  Okay.

THEY ROLL THE GURNEY WITH BRIDGET ON IT TO AN EXAM AREA AND CLOSE THE CURTAIN.  ALL FOLLOW RUSS AND HE STOPS IN FRONT OF THE CURTAIN.

RACHEL:  Russ is she gonna be okay?
RUSS:  I’ll let you know everything once I do a full examination.  Has anyone called her parents?
STEVEN:  No not yet I’ll…I’ll call my mom.
RACHEL:  I’ll call Donna.

MICHELE, WITH HER ARMS FOLDED, RUBBING HER ARMS WITH HER HAND TO KEEP WARM, WALKS OFF TO A QUIET CORNER AND CORY FOLLOWS HER.

Cory Hutchins

CORY:  Are you alright?
MICHELE:  I’m…I’m just hoping that my sister’s okay.
CORY:  You look really worried.
MICHELE:  Why wouldn’t I be?  She’s my sister.  Of course I don’t want anything to happen to her.

AT PAULINA’S, SHE GOES TO OPEN THE DOOR AND IT’S JAKE, WHO WALKS RIGHT IN.  PAULINA SHUTS THE DOOR BEHIND HIM.

Jake McKinnon

Paulina Cory

JAKE:  You called?  You sounded a bit…

HE TURNS AROUND AND FACES PAULINA…

JAKE:  Okay what’s wrong?
PAULINA:  I saw Grant at the Center.
JAKE:  And?
PAULINA:  I’ve never seen him like that before.  He’s pressuring me to marry him. 
JAKE:  That’s not a new thing.
PAULINA:  This time he was…menacing.  It’s like he tried to bully me this time.
JAKE:  Paulina you don’t want Jack’s life to be destroyed right?
PAULINA:  Of course not.  I couldn’t live with myself knowing I could have stopped Grant from releasing that material.  But who’s to say he’s not gonna leak it anyway, even after I marry him?
JAKE:  You don’t know that.  The only way to make sure he doesn’t…is to get your hands on those pictures.
PAULINA:  Yeah yeah and the only way I can do that is marrying him.  What if he starts wanting me to…be a real wife to him?  I don’t wanna sleep with him.
JAKE:  Unless you can come up with another way to get that blackmail material from him.
PAULINA:  How about I burn down his house like he burned down mine.
JAKE:  There’s a thought, but then we’ll go to jail.
PAULINA:  Come on Jake I’m serious.  There’s got to be another way out of this.

JAKE’S PHONE VIBRATES.  HE TAKES IT OUT OF HIS POCKET AND READS THE TEXT.

JAKE:  Oh…oh no.
PAULINA:  What’s going on?  Is everything okay?
JAKE:  Something happened to Bridget.  She’s in the hospital. 
PAULINA:  Well we gotta go!

AT DONNA’S SUITE, VICKY AND DONNA CONTINUE TO ARGUE…

Donna Love

Vicky Hudson

DONNA:  I am not asking you to take responsibility for the things that Bridget has done.  I’m asking you to support her and be the mother that she needs!
VICKY:  I have always been a good mother to her.  You can only teach your children what to do, it’s up to them to do it.  Jake and I didn’t raise her to do the things she did to Michele. 
DONNA:  Of course you didn’t, but we all make mistakes. We need the people we love to support us, and Bridget doesn’t feel that from you!
VICKY:  That’s not my problem Donna.  I know my children.  Bridget is acting irresponsibly and she has to learn her lessons.
DONNA: Haven’t you acted irresponsibly before?  Didn’t I support you when you made a mess of things?
VICKY:  This isn’t about me! 
DONNA:  You’re right.  This is about Bridget and Michele and putting this family back together.

DONNA’S AND VICKY’S CELL PHONE BOTH RING AT THE SAME TIME.

DONNA:  Rachel?
VICKY:  Steven?
DONNA:  Oh my God.  Thank you we’ll be right there.
VICKY:  I’m coming now.

DONNA AND VICKY TURN TO EACH OTHER AND SAY…

DONNA AND VICKY (at the same time):  Bridget’s in the hospital.

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

AT KIRKLAND’S SUITE, CHARLIE AND KIRKLAND ARE SITTING ON THE COUCH SIDE BY SIDE.  THEY TURN TO LOOK AT EACH OTHER.

Kirkland Harrison

Charlie Winthrop Harrison

KIRKLAND:  I’ve got something I need to talk to you about.
CHARLIE:  No wait I…I think you’re gonna wanna hear what I have to say.
KIRKLAND:  Charlie no please.  I’ve gotta get this off my chest.
CHARLIE:  Are you mad at me?  What did I do?
KIRKLAND:  I couldn’t stay mad at you for more than five minutes.
CHARLIE:  Wow something seems to really be bothering you.
KIRKLAND:  It has been for a long time.
CHARLIE:  Well whatever it is, what I have to tell you will make your problems virtually disappear.
KIRKLAND:  I’m not sure if that’ll happen.

KIRKLAND GETS UP AND TAKES THREE STEPS TOWARD THE DOOR, AND CHARLIE GETS UP.

CHARLIE:  Are you sure this won’t bring…joy to us?

KIRKLAND TURNS AROUND AND FACES CHARLIE.

KIRKLAND:  Joy?  I don’t think you’re talking about my brother’s girlfriend.

CHARLIE WALKS UP TO KIRKLAND PUTS HER ARMS ON HIS SHOULDERS.

CHARLIE:  Not at all.


CHARLIE GENTLY TAKES KIRKLAND’S LEFT ARM AND PLACES IT GENTLY ON HER STOMACH.

CHARLIE:  I’m talking about a bundle of joy. 
KIRKLAND:  Are you telling me what I think you’re trying to tell me?
CHARLIE:  Yeah…we’re gonna be parents.  I’m pregnant.

PART 2

AT THE HOSPITAL, CORY IS WITH MICHELE IN A SOMEWHAT SECLUDED CORNER IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM.

MICHELE:  Look I’m sorry I…I didn’t mean to snap like that.
CORY:  I understand.  You’re worried about Bridget.  What happened out there?
MICHELE:  Bridget just appeared after you went for your run. 
CORY:  How did she end up on the ground?
MICHELE:  You know the usual.  Bridget and I were arguing and she just collapsed.  She said she couldn’t breathe.  I thought she was faking.
CORY:  You didn’t…do anything to her did you?
MICHELE:  Oh my God…you think…I had something to do with her collapse? 
CORY:  Of course…course you didn’t. 
MICHELE:  You believe me don’t you?
CORY:  Totally.

MEANWHILE, JAKE AND PAULINA WALK THROUGH THE E.R. DOUBLE DOORS AND UP TO STEVEN, RACHEL, AND JOY.

JAKE:  We got a call.
PAULINA:  How’s Bridget?
RACHEL:  They’re looking at her now. 
STEVEN:  She was unconscious when they brought her in.
JAKE:  What happened?
RACHEL:  I found Bridget with Michele out in front of the mansion.
JOY:  Yeah we found her like that when Steven and I pulled up.

JAKE LOOKS TO HIS RIGHT AND SEES MICHELE AND CORY.  HE WALKS RIGHT OVER TO THEM.

MICHELE:  Dad.
JAKE:  What happened between you and Bridget?
MICHELE:  We were arguing and she just collapsed.
JAKE:  Cory did you see anything?
CORY:  No.  I’m gonna go over there with my mom.
JAKE:  Please tell me you’re not responsible for this.
MICHELE:  Oh my God.  Why does everyone think that I did this?
JAKE:  Just tell me what happened.
MICHELE:  I can’t believe this!  I just told you.  Bridget and I were arguing.  Suddenly she couldn’t breathe and she passed out.

PAULINA IS WITH CORY.

PAULINA:  Has everything really come to this?  They’ve been fighting for so long.
CORY:  Michele didn’t do anything.
PAULINA:  How did Bridget end up passed out?
CORY:  I dunno.  I went for a jog, and that’s how we found her.

MEANWHILE RACHEL IS WITH JOY.

RACHEL:  I’m sorry about dinner tonight.  We’ll reschedule.
JOY:  Oh it’s fine.  You guys have more urgent matters to attend to.
RACHEL:  It still would’ve been nice to talk to you.  Steven seems to adore you.
JOY:  And I feel the same way about him. 
RACHEL:  Speaking of my grandson, where did he go?

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

KIRKLAND:  Wwwwwhat?  You mean I’m…I’m gonna be a father?

CHARLIE NODS HER HEAD AND SMILES.

KIRKLAND:  Oh my God. 
CHARLIE:  Shocker huh?
KIRKLAND:  Yeah it’s…definitely that.
CHARLIE:  I was at the hospital and I just started feeling nauseous.  I got checked out by Dr. Davidson and she confirmed it.

KIRKLAND GETS UP AND TAKES THREE STEPS TOWARD THE DOOR AS HE TAKES IN THE NEWS.

KIRKLAND:  I’m…wow…I’m gonna be a dad. 
CHARLIE GETS UP.
CHARLIE:  Yep.

KIRKLAND TURNS AROUND AND WALKS UP TO CHARLIE.

KIRKLAND:  I’m gonna be different.  I’m gonna…I’m gonna love my kid.
CHARLIE:  That’s good to hear.
KIRKLAND:  No custody tug of wars.  I’m gonna set…a great example for my child.   I’m gonna start now.
CHARLIE:  So...what is it that you had to tell me?

KIRKLAND’S PHONE VIBRATES AND HE LOOKS AT A TEXT THAT READS:  Bridget in hospital.  Come now.

KIRKLAND:  Oh no.
CHARLIE:  What?  What is it?
KIRKLAND:  My brother sent me a text.  Bridget’s in the hospital.
CHARLIE:  Wow is everything okay?
KIRKLAND:  I’m gonna go find out.
CHARLIE:  I’ll come with you.
KIRKLAND:  No…you have to rest.  You got my kid inside of you.
CHARLIE:  Right.  Text me and let me know if your sister’s okay.
KIRKLAND:  Definitely.  This…this is the best news I’ve gotten…ever.
CHARLIE:  I love you.
KIRKLAND:  I love you, too.

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

IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM,  JAKE AND MICHELE ARE OFF IN A SOMEWHAT SECLUDED CORNER.

JAKE:  I’m sure your mother told you about Bridget’s disease.
MICHELE:  She did, and it’s unfortunate that she caught it, but I had nothing to do with her passing out in front of the Corys.

THE AUTOMATIC  GLASS DOUBLE DOORS OPEN AND DONNA AND VICKY WALK THROUGH.  THEY LOOK AROUND AND SEE RACHEL, CORY, PAULINA, STEVEN AND JOY AND RUN UP TO THEM.

DONNA:  Rachel what happened?  Where’s Bridget?
RACHEL:  They took her into a room to look at her.
DONNA:  What is Cory doing here?

VICKY LOOKS AT JOY.

VICKY:  Exactly my question.
STEVEN:  Mom not here.
VICKY:  This is a family matter Steven.  Joy does not have to be here.
JOY:  I am in the room.
STEVEN:  And she’s not leaving.

VICKY LOOKS AT STEVEN IN DISBELIEF, MEANWHILE, JAKE WALKS UP TO PAULINA.

JAKE:  Vicky doesn’t like Steven’s new girlfriend too much does she?
PAULINA:  Doesn’t look that way.  Did you talk to Michele?
JAKE:  Yeah.
PAULINA:  What did she say?  Does she know what happened to Bridget?
JAKE:  She said she just collapsed.
PAULINA:  That’s good right?  I mean Michele didn’t cause any of it.
JAKE:  It’s good but...for some reason I think there’s more to it than what she’s telling me.

MEANWHILE, DONNA LAYS INTO RACHEL.

RACHEL:  He’s concerned about Bridget.

DONNA SLOWLY WALKS TOWARD CORY.

DONNA:  I thought I made myself very clear at the mansion.

RACHEL STEPS IN FRONT OF CORY.

RACHEL:  Donna you’re being completely irrational.  Cory cares about Bridget and he wants to know how she’s doing.
DONNA:  Well he can go home and you can call or text him.  I don’t want him anywhere near Bridget or Michele!

DR. RUSS MATTHEWS WALKS UP TO THEM AND DONNA AND JAKE APPROACH HIM.

RUSS:  You can stop arguing.  This is a hospital after all.
DONNA:  We’re sorry.  We’re all just concerned about my granddaughter.
JAKE:  How’s she?
RUSS:  She’s okay.  We’re moving her up to the sixth floor.
DONNA:  So you’re keeping her?
RUSS:  She had a severe episode of anaphylactic shock.  We had to induce a coma to help stabilize her.
DONNA:  A coma?  Oh my God.

MICHELE LOOKS ON WITH CONCERN AS VICKY WALKS UP TO RUSS.

VICKY:  What…caused it?
RUSS:  We’re looking into that now.  Bridget’s gonna be here through the night.  You can stay but I would suggest going home and getting some rest.  We’ll know more in the morning.

RUSS WALKS AWAY.

DONNA:  I’m going home but I'm coming right back.
VICKY:  Neither am I.
DONNA:  Thank you Rachel for staying with her but you and Cory can go home.
VICKY:  I’ll…call you and tell you how Bridget’s doing.
RACHEL:  Please?
VICKY:  Sure.
MICHELE:  She’s…gonna be okay right?
VICKY:  You’re worried about your sister aren’t you?
MICHELE:  Yeah I just…want her to pull through.
VICKY:  Oh sweetheart she’s gonna be fine
. 
VICKY HUGS MICHELE AND JAKE MAKES EYE CONTACT WITH MICHELE.
