PREVIOUSLY ON ANOTHER WORLD
-Someone tampered with Sharlene's brakes, which lead to Gregory's accident on Route 17, and it is suspected that the same person tried to run down Sharlene in the hospital parking garage
-Cass and Frankie have been investigating the possible perpetrator, and all leads are leading them to Brianna and Christy.
-Felicia unwittingly caused a three car accident while driving drunk.  Christy was also involved in the accident, and she was pregnant at the time.  She miscarried as a result of the accident.  When Christy learned that Felicia caused the accident, she mysteriously declined to press charges.


PART 1
ON A RAINY NIGHT, JOHN AND SHARLENE ARE IN THE LIVING ROOM AT THE FARM.
Dr John Hudson

Sharlene Frame

JOHN:  Frankie said she came up clean?
SHARLENE:  Yes.  She looked into her background and came up with nothing.
JOHN:  So we’re right back to square one.
SHARLENE:  I told her that it’s like Brianna Jameson doesn’t even exist.  There’s no birth record; school record; nothing. 
JOHN:  That’s impossible.  There’s gotta be something in her background that can tell us something about her.
SHARLENE:  Frankie said she was squeaky clean. 
JOHN:  Wait a minute, you might be right.
SHARLENE:  About what?
JOHN:  Brianna Jameson not existing.  Maybe she doesn’t.
SHARLENE:  So you think that Brianna Jameson is some kind of alias. 
JOHN:  I know it’s far fetched but what else do we have to go on? 
SHARLENE:  You’re right it does but, let’s say that’s what she’s doing.  Why would she be hiding her true identity?
JOHN:  That’s the question we have to answer. 
SHARLENE:  Oh wait.  Remember that day we saw them in the Center? 
JOHN:  Brianna and who?
SHARLENE:  Matthew Cory. 
JOHN:  That’s right.  Do you think they were on a date?
SHARLENE:  I dunno but maybe she told him something.
JOHN:  Maybe we should go ask him.

AT THE CORYS, MATT IS ON HIS CELL PHONE WITH BRIANNA, WHO IS DRIVING.

Matt Cory

Brianna Jameson

MATT:  Hey beautiful when are you getting here?
-----
BRIANNA:  I just got off of my shift.  I wanna go home and change.  Look nice for you.
-----
MATT:  I’ve missed you.
-----
BRIANNA:  I missed you more.  I promise I won’t take too much longer.
-----
MATT:  Please don’t.  I love you, and stay dry.  Weather’s getting bad.
-----
BRIANNA:  I love you, too.

BRIANNA PRESSES END CALL

BRIANNA:  Here we are.  Wood Pines.

-----

CASS AND FRANKIE ARE IN THEIR LIVING ROOM AND HAVE DISCOVERED SOMETHING
.
Frankie Frame

Cass Winthrop

FRANKIE:  You’ve gotta be kidding me.  How do they know each other?
CASS:  Who?
FRANKIE:  Christy.
CASS:  Christy? 
FRANKIE:  This number is Christy’s cell phone. 
CASS:  Wow.  Why would Brianna be working with Christy?
FRANKIE:  Christy probably has something on her.  If we find out what that is, we will know everything we need to know about Brianna.
CASS:  I can’t wrap my head around it.  I mean, Brianna working with Christy?
FRANKIE:  It makes perfect sense.  The night of Carl’s party at the Corys.  Maggie left here and she disappeared.  The next thing you know, Christy calls you to come to the warehouse at the docks so you could give her a sperm sample.  I was worried out of my mind.  Neither one of you arrived at the party.
CASS:  You think Brianna was holding Maggie for Christy?
FRANKIE:  That’s the only logical explanation here.
CASS:  Christy warned me not to call the police.
FRANKIE:  And when we found Maggie she was drugged out of her mind.  She probably doesn’t even remember much about it.
CASS:  But what did Christy have over Brianna that she would help carry out her plan?
FRANKIE:  There’s only one way to find out.

AT CHRISTY’S SUITE, CHRISTY IS HOLDING FELICIA AT GUNPOINT
.
Christy Carson

Felicia Gallant

FELICIA:  What do you think you’re doing?
CHRISTY:  Oh come on Felicia, did you really think that I would ever forget?   Did you really think that I was gonna let you get away with it?
FELICIA:  The accident?
CHRISTY:  Yes…that. 

CHRISTY CIRCLES AROUND THE COUCH, AND FELICIA BACKS AWAY FROM HER, CLOSER TO THE DESK THAT HAS THE PILLS AND BOOZE ON IT.

FELICIA:  You blame me for killing your baby.
CHRISTY:  You did.
FELICIA:  It all makes sense now.  You dropped the charges because you wanted to carry your own brand of justice is that it?
CHRISTY:  Darn you figured it out.
FELICIA:  Coming after me is one thing, but coming after my grandson is entirely another.
CHRISTY:  Whatever happened to Devin, I had nothing to do with it.
FELICIA:  Sure you didn’t.  You definitely put that dead fetus on my doorstep.
CHRISTY:  Ohhh I’m certain that you would have enjoyed that gift.  Just a reminder that you killed my baby!
FELICIA:  You forced Cass to give you a sperm sample!
CHRISTY:  It worked didn’t it?  I got pregnant.  I was going to be a mother.  I was gonna raise my child from birth, and you took it from me!   Time for you to pay.

CAMERA PAN ON FELICIA…SLOW FADE TO THEME SONG

PART 2

IN THE CAR, CASS IS DRIVING FRANKIE…

FRANKIE:  It’s all coming together.  Brianna was holding Maggie while Christy was getting a sperm sample from you.  She knew you would never give her one without some kind of leverage.
CASS:  And so she had my daughter kidnapped.
FRANKIE:  And now Brianna’s trying to keep Maggie from implicating her in it. 
CASS:  Maggie was right about her all along, and she really doesn’t even know why.
FRANKIE:  Right.  Christy has all the answers.
CASS:  Are you sure this is a good idea to confront her?
FRANKIE:  Why wouldn’t it be? 
CASS:  There’s no telling what Christy’s gonna do.
FRANKIE:  What other choice do we have?  She’s the only who can tell us about Brianna.
CASS:  And you think she’s gonna tell us the truth?
FRANKIE:  I don’t know, but it’s the only shot we have.  There’s gotta be a reason why Brianna is trying to kill my aunt.
CASS:  You ran a background check on her didn’t you?
FRANKIE:  Yes and I found nothing.  That’s because Brianna is a fake.  Nobody has a background that clean.
CASS:  So Christy must know what Brianna’s true identity is.
FRANKIE:  I know it’s a long shot, but it’s the only chance we’ve got Cass.  I mean how long will it be before Brianna, or whoever she is, tries to kill Sharlene again, and who’s to say she won’t be successful this time?  I can’t let that happen.

---------
AT THE CORYS, JOHN AND SHARLENE APPROACH THE DOOR.

JOHN:  You okay?
SHARLENE:  I won’t be okay until Brianna is out of our lives. 
JOHN:  Hopefully Matthew can tell us something that we can use.

THEY RING THE DOORBELL AND MATT ANSWERS THE DOOR.

SHARLENE:  Matt.
MATT:  Hey.  Come on in
.
JOHN AND SHARLENE WALK IN AND MATT CLOSES THE DOOR.

MATT:  Hey if you’re looking for my mom.  She went to the office.
SHARLENE:  No.  We actually need to talk to you.
MATT:  What is it?
JOHN:  What can you tell us about Brianna?
MATT:  Brianna?  Why are you asking me about her?
JOHN:  If we told you you probably wouldn’t believe us.
SHARLENE:  We need some answers. 
MATT:  Answers?  What’s goin’ on here?

JOHN AND SHARLENE LOOK AT EACH OTHER TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO TELL MATT.

JOHN:  Has she told you about where she’s from?   Family?
MATT:  What’s this all about?
SHARLENE:  Look we think she’s the one who’s been trying to kill me.
MATT:  Trying to kill you?  That’s ridiculous!
JOHN:  Gregory was involved in an accident with Sharlene’s car.
MATT:  So what does that have to do with Brianna?
SHARLENE:  The police found that the brakes were tampered with.
JOHN:  And we think she’s the one who tried to run over Sharlene at the hospital parking garage.
MATT:  I’m sorry that those things happened to you, but what makes you think that Brianna had something to do with it? 
JOHN:  That’s what we’re trying to find out.
MATT:  She’s not that kind of woman.  She’s sweet, loving, caring.
SHARLENE:  That’s what she shows you, but deep down she might be something else.
MATT:  What about her saving Tyrone and Marley’s baby from being kidnapped?  I mean isn’t she one of Bay City Medical Center’s best nurses?
JOHN:  Yes but…
MATT:  I can’t believe you two come here and accuse her of these things.  You don’t even have any evidence.
SHARLENE:  What about Maggie?
MATT:  Maggie doesn’t like her and I have no idea why. 
JOHN:  Maggie says that Brianna came to see her at Wood Pines.
MATT:  Maybe she’s concerned about her.  You know this isn’t getting anywhere.
SHARLENE:  What do you really know about Brianna?   Has she ever told where she’s from?  Where she grew up?
MATT:  Yeah she said she was from Philadelphia.  So what?

JOHN AND SHARLENE STOP AND LOOK AT EACH OTHER AGAIN, AND THEY LOOK BACK AT MATT.

JOHN:  Are you sure that’s what she told you?
MATT:  Look what the hell is this all about?
SHARLENE:  That’s where…Taylor Benson lived.
MATT:  I can’t listen to this anymore.  You guys can leave.
JOHN:  Look we’re sorry but we’re just trying to find some answers.
SHARLENE:  You may have given us everything we need.
MATT:  Good night.

MATT ESCORTS JOHN AND SHARLENE TO THE DOOR AND THEY LEAVE.

OUTSIDE THE DOOR…
JOHN:  This is unbelievable.
SHARLENE:  Why didn’t I think of this before?
JOHN:  You had no idea.
SHARLENE:  No.  Her name.  Brianna Jameson.  It’s a female derivative of….
JOHN:  Brian James. 
SHARLENE:  Taylor’s former patient.

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

AT WOOD PINES, BRIANNA WALKS UP TO THE DESK AND TALKS TO THE CLERK.

BRIANNA:  I’m here to sign off on some medication for my patient.
CLERK:  You’re Dr. Taylor Benson.
BRIANNA:  Yes.
CLERK:  ID please?

BRIANNA SHOWS HER A FAKE IDENTIFICATION THAT HAS DR. TAYLOR BENSON’S NAME AND BRIANNA’S FACE.  THE CLERK TAKES A PAPER AND BRIANNA SIGNS.

BRIANNA:  I would like to see her.
CLERK:  Sure Dr. Benson.

THE CLERK ESCORTS BRIANNA TO MAGGIE’S ROOM AND MAGGIE’S NOT THERE.

BRIANNA:  Where the hell is my patient?

MEANWHILE, A MYSTERY PERSON CARRIES MAGGIE AND GENTLY LAYS HER ON A COUCH.
Dr. Maggie Winthrop


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

FELICIA:  What are you gonna do?  Shoot me?
CHRISTY:  Oh Felicia.  It would be so gratifying to put one right between your eyes, but that would be way too messy, so I had to figure out another way.

FELICIA LOOKS OVER ON THE TABLE, PICKS UP THE BOTTLE OF PILLS, AND READS THE LABEL.

FELICIA:  Flurazepam?
CHRISTY:  Yes…in your name. 
FELICIA:  How the hell?
CHRISTY:  Don’t look so surprised.  You picked them up.

CHRISTY FLASHES BACK (EPISODE 275)
CHRISTY IS IN WOMENS’ BATHROOM WEARING A BLACK TRENCHCOAT. 
SHE PUTS ON GLASSES, AND ADJUSTS A SHORT DARK HAIRED WIG THAT
RESEMBLES FELICIA’S HAIRSTYLE WHILE SHE LOOKS IN THE MIRROR.


CHRISTY:  Time to pick up your prescription Mrs. Blake.

CHRISTY FLASHES BACK TO THE PRESENT

FELICIA:  I didn’t pick up any medication.  What the hell did you do?
CHRISTY:  You’re right Felicia.  I picked them up.
FELICIA:  You couldn’t have identified as me.
CHRISTY:  But I did.  I looked just like you, at least on the day I picked up your prescription.
FELICIA:  Who wrote it for you?
CHRISTY:  That’s not important. 

CHRISTY POINTS THE GUN AT FELICIA.

FELICIA:  What do you plan on doing?
CHRISTY:  It’s not about what I plan on doing, it’s what you’re going to do.

FELICIA LOOKS AT THE PILLS AND BOOZE, AND LOOKS BACK AT CHRISTY.

CHRISTY:  Drink up Felicia.

FREEZE FRAME ON FELICIA…SLOW FADE OUT…END OF 299

  1. TENSE episode. Everything is coming together beautifully!

    Felicia is trapped with Christy. I really liked how Christy really made Felicia sit with her guilt over the accident, and slowly draw that out to the reveal of her ultimate plan: murder by booze and pills. Great scenes.

    I love how everything ties together so well. Frankie, Cass, and John and Sharlene both working different angles to piece together the puzzle of just who Brianna Jameson REALLY is. The second the two pairs come together, it'll surely all click together. Love it. Contrast that with the person Matt believes Brianna to be, just goes to show how very charismatic Brianna is, and how dangerous that can be when faced with an obstacle like Maggie. Great writing.

    A great episode, full of ups and downs. Looking forward to more.
