PREVIOUSLY ON ANOTHER WORLD

• Michele hacked into the hospital mainframe and switched tests to make it look like Bridget had chlamydia.  Bridget took an antibiotic, and she went into anaphylactic shock.  Bridget is now in a medically induced coma.
• Lila returned to Bay City and is in cahoots with Bradley O' Neill.  Bradley was married to Frankie (Frankie lost her memory after an accident) after she thought she was Francesca.  When Frankie recovered her memories,  Bradley let her go and she returned to Bay City.  Frankie was able to get a divorce from Bradley, but she has not told Cass that she was married while she was away.  Bradley wants Frankie back, but he has struck up a friendship with Vicky. 
• Brianna Jameson, who is Taylor Benson's daughter, Ellen, promised to fulfill her mother's dying wish, which was to "finish" Sharlene Hudson.  Christy Carson knew Brianna's true identity and blackmailed her.  Brianna kidnapped Maggie on the night of Carl Hutchins party at the Corys for Christy so Christy could get a sperm sample from Cass to get pregnant.  Brianna kept Maggie sedated mostly during the kidnapping except for one quick moment.  Maggie recently recalled this moment and figured out that Brianna kidnapped her.  

AT THE HOSPITAL, JAKE CONFRONTS MICHELE, WHO IS OUTSIDE THE WAITING AREA WITH ELIZABETH.

Jake McKinnon

Elizabeth Hutchins

Michele McKinnon

MICHELE:  Dad.
JAKE:  Hey Michele.  Elizabeth.
ELIZABETH:  Hi.  I..um…I’m gonna head home.  I promised my mom I’d spend some time with her.
MICHELE:  Text me.

ELIZABETH WALKS AWAY AS PAULINA JOINS JAKE.

Paulina Cory

PAULINA:  Michele hi.
MICHELE:  Hi Paulina.
JAKE:  Did you hear the news?
MICHELE:  No I didn’t I just got here.
JAKE:  Dr. Matthews told us that they’re gonna bring Bridget out of her coma.
MICHELE:  That’s…that’s wonderful news.
JAKE:  It is. 
MICHELE:  Did he say anything about what caused her to collapse?
PAULINA:  They said it was the antibiotic.
JAKE:  But she never had chlamydia.
MICHELE:  Wow really.  Was it a mix up or something? 
JAKE:  I dunno.
MICHELE:  So when did they say they’re gonna…bring Bridget back?
JAKE:  Sometime later. 
MICHELE:  That’s great.  I should go tell Cory.  I’m sure he’ll be thrilled.  Where’s mom and grandma?  I’m gonna go to the Corys.  This is great news.

MICHELE LEAVES AND JAKE LOOKS ON.

PAULINA:  She seems happy that Bridget’s gonna be okay.
JAKE:  They’ve been feuding but I don’t think she ever wanted Bridget to get hurt.
PAULINA:  Of course she wouldn’t.
JAKE:  So why do I feel something’s off about this?
PAULINA:  What are you thinking?
JAKE:  Bridget’s going around thinking that she has S.T.I. but she never really had it.
PAULINA:  Probably just a mix up with the tests.
JAKE:  It’s just not sitting right with me Paulina.  I’m gonna find out what’s going on.

BACK IN THE WAITING AREA, VICKY IS THERE WHEN DONNA WALKS IN.

Vicky Hudson

Donna Love

DONNA:  I should have gotten a cloth to wipe the egg off of your face Victoria.
VICKY:  Here it comes.
DONNA:   Bridget tried to tell us that she did not sleep with anyone, and you’re the only one who didn’t believe her.
VICKY:  You’re acting as though I didn’t have reason not to!
DONNA:  She’s your daughter, and that should have been enough of an incentive.  Instead you tried to make it like it was her fault.
VICKY:  I feel badly enough.  I don’t need to explain this to you.
DONNA:  Maybe not, but you will to Bridget.  What will you do to make this right with her?
VICKY:  You sure know how to spoil good news Donna.
DONNA:  Make it up to Bridget and we can start putting this family back together.
VICKY walks to the door.
DONNA:  Where are you going?
VICKY:  I’ll go see the only person who seems to be supporting me these days. 
DONNA:  Are you talking about that Bradley guy?
VICKY:  Well that Bradley guy has been a very good friend to me.

LILA WALKS IN AND BRADLEY SHUTS THE DOOR.

LILA:  You look like you just saw a ghost.
BRADLEY:  Not quite, but close enough.
LILA:  Oooooh you’re talkin’ about your precious Frankie.  I wonder what the expression on her face was.
BRADLEY:  We didn’t come face to face.
LILA:  So she still doesn’t know that you’re in Bay City.
BRADLEY:  No.

PART 2

LILA AND BRADLEY ARE IN A HOTEL ROOM.

BRADLEY:  We don’t know that.
LILA:  If she told Cass that she was married I bet he wouldn’t be with her right now.  Have you filed for divorce?
BRADLEY:  No, and I don’t want to.
LILA:  I’m sorry about that.  Thank you for sticking to our plan.  Just hang in there a little while longer---

BRADLEY GETS A TEXT AND HE READS IT.

LILA:  Oh a text.
BRADLEY:  It’s my friend Vicky.
LILA:  Would it happen to be Vicky McKinnon?
BRADLEY:  Vicky Hudson.
LILA:  Oh my.  So she and Jake got a divorce?  Wow. 
BRADLEY:  Their daughter’s in a coma.
LILA: One of her twins?  I remember Vicky tellin’ us she was pregnant at my wedding to Cass.  Is she going to be alright?
BRADLEY:   She’s gonna be fine.  She just had a severe allergic reaction to antibiotics.
LILA:  And she’s in a coma now?
BRADLEY:  It was doctor induced.  They’re gonna bring her out of it today.
LILA:  It seems like…Vicky’s a good distraction for you.
BRADLEY:  A distraction from what?   Or should I ask who?
LILA:  Yeah yeah I’m talkin’ about Frankie.  Their wedding is comin’ up---
BRADLEY:  I saw her at the hospital.
LILA:  You didn’t…
BRADLEY:  No I didn’t approach her.
LILA:  Did she see you?
BRADLEY:  No, but I don’t know if I can stay away from her.  I still love her.
LILA:  And I love Cass.  I wanna run to him right now and tell him that Frankie is lying to him, but we got to let this play itself out.  Well I’m gon get outta here.  I’ll be in touch.  Look, we both gon’ get what we want okay.
BRADLEY:  Right. 

AT THE CORYS, ELIZABETH WALKS IN AND CORY COMES DOWNSTAIRS.

Cory Hutchins

CORY:  Hey where ya been?
ELIZABETH:  I was at the hospital.  Where’s mom?
CORY:  She had to get something at the office, but shes’ coming back soon.  Any news about Bridget?
ELIZABETH:  Yes they’re gonna bring her out of her coma.
CORY:  That’s good. 
ELIZABETH:  Yeah it’s great news.

THEY BOTH WALK INTO THE LIVING ROOM.

CORY:  I’m a little surprised that you’re happy about it.
ELIZABETH:  Really?  What kind of person do you think I am?  I can’t stand Bridget but I don’t want her to be in a coma.
CORY:  I’d like to be there but I gotta get past her watchdog grandmother.
ELIZABETH:  There’s…something else I have to tell you.
CORY:  What is it? 
ELIZABETH:  They found out that she never had chlamydia.
CORY:  What? 
ELIZABETH:  They didn’t find a trace of it in her blood. 
CORY:  Wow.  That means she was telling me the truth.  She said she didn’t know how she got it, but she never even had it in the first place.  I didn’t believe her.

SOMEONE RINGS THE DOORBELL AND ELIZABETH ANSWERS THE DOOR.

ELIZABETH:  Michele.
MICHELE:  I hope I’m not interrupting.
ELIZABETH:  No no come in.

ELIZABETH SHUTS THE DOOR AND SHE AND MICHELE WALK INTO THE LIVING ROOM.

MICHELE:  Cory.
ELIZABETH:  Hey I was just telling him about Bridget.
CORY:  Yeah she never had chlamydia.
MICHELE:  Nope she didn’t.
CORY:  How does that even happen? 
MICHELE:  Guess it was a mix up.
ELIZABETH:  I’m gonna go upstairs.
ELIZABETH LEAVES CORY AND MICHELE ALONE.
CORY:  I didn’t believe her.
MICHELE:  You had no reason to believe that she was telling the truth.
CORY:  She told me she didn’t sleep with anyone else. 
MICHELE:  Cory I don’t want you to beat yourself up over this. 
CORY:  I have to make it up to her.  I hope she takes me back.

RAFAEL WALKS IN AND SEES CASS, FRANKIE, JOHN AND SHARLENE.

Rafael Santierro

RAFAEL:  Where’s Maggie?
FRANKIE:  That’s what we’re trying to find out.
CASS:  You said she was here.
RAFAEL:  She WAS here.  I told her to stay put.  She probably got up and…
CASS:  What do you mean?

RAFAEL SIGHS.

RAFAEL:  I hope Wood Pines didn’t get her.
SHARLENE:  What if she went looking for Brianna?
JOHN:  She shouldn’t confront her at all. 
FRANKIE:  We have to find her. 

AT THE HOSPITAL, BRIANNA IS DRESSED IN SCRUBS WITH A MASK ON HER MOUTH.  SHE’S PUSHING A LAUNDRY BASKET COVERED WITH A BLANKET INTO A FREEZER.   BRIANNA LIFTS THE BLANKET AND SLAPS MAGGIE, WHO IS BOUND AND GAGGED.  BRIANNA REMOVES THE GAG, and POINTS A GUN AT HER.

MAGGIE:  HELLLLLLLLLP!   HELLLLLLLP!
BRIANNA (mockingly):  Helllllllp!  Helllllp!  Somebody help us!  We’re in the freezer all the way in the hospital basement.  Nobody can hear you.
MAGGIE:  Let me out of here.
BRIANNA:  Or what?  Just what do you think you’re going to do?  Throw an icicle at me?  You’re about to turn into a real big one soon.
MAGGIE:  They’re after you.  It’s only a matter of time before you’re caught. 
BRIANNA:  Well it’s too bad you’re not gonna be able to help them.

BRIANNA GOES TO THE THERMOSTAT AND TURNS IT TO MINUS 40 DEGREES, AND FACES MAGGIE WITH A GUN.

MAGGIE:  You evil bitch.
BRIANNA: Name calling isn’t going to save you.  Goodbye Maggie.   It was not nice knowing you.
MAGGIE:  Let me outta here!

BRIANNA LEAVES AND SHUTS THE STEEL DOOR, LEAVING MAGGIE IN THE FREEZER.

MAGGIE:  Let me outtttt!
