PREVIOUSLY ON ANOTHER WORLD
• Bridget and Cory broke up after Bridget accused Cory of giving her chlamydia after Bridget’s tests came back positive. Cory’s tests turned up negative, which resulted in their breakup. It was revealed that Bridget never had chlamydia at all (Michele broke into the hospital mainframe to switch Bridget’s negative test with a positive test)
• Rachel told Felicia that they are no longer friends after Felicia took a book/movie deal with Iris’s production company instead of Cory Productions
• Gregory was driving Sharlene’s car which was involved in a three car accident on Route 17, caused by Felicia’s drunk driving. (Brianna tampered with the brakes in an attempt to kill Sharlene. The brakes gave out while Gregory was driving). The accident aggravated Gregory’s previous back injury and he received a prescription for painkillers. He has since become addicted to opioids.

PART 2
JAKE: How are you feeling?
BRIDGET: A little better I guess.
JAKE: You guess? Aren’t you glad to be back with the land of the living?
BRIDGET: Yeah, but I wish I could remember how I got here.
JAKE: You had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic you took.
BRIDGET: I know that but…there had to have been something that lead up to it. I mean, what happened in the moments before I collapsed?
JAKE: Sounds like you’re worried.
BRIDGET: No not really I…just wanna remember.
JAKE: You will…all your memories will come back.
BRIDGET: Come on dad I’m not talking about full on amnesia. Just…I need to fill in that missing block of time.
CORY walks in.
CORY: Maybe I can help.
BRIDGET: Cory.
JAKE gets up and walks up to CORY.
JAKE: Cory maybe this isn’t a good…
BRIDGET: No dad I…I wanna speak to him.
JAKE: Are you sure?
BRIDGET: Yeah. I’m gonna be fine.
JAKE: I’ll be nearby.
BRIDGET: Okay. Love you.
JAKE: Love you, too.
JAKE leaves and CORY walks up to BRIDGET.
CORY: You…want to speak to me?
BRIDGET: Of course I do. I’ve been waiting for you to come. I have so much to say to you.
-----------
RACHEL: Where do you want me to put these?
FELICIA: Over there…in the vase.
RACHEL runs water and places the flowers in the vase.
FELICIA: I must say I’m…surprised to see you.
RACHEL walks up to FELICIA’S bed, pulls up a stool, and sits on it.
RACHEL: Given the way we…left things before. I suppose I can’t blame you.
FELICIA: Rachel you gotta understand I never meant to hurt you.
RACHEL: I know I was just…overreacting. I knew deep down you weren’t betraying my family. You made a business decision. I was wrong for what I said.
FELICIA: That really really hurt Rachel.
RACHEL: Maybe I’m…somewhat responsible for this. After that you took a drink and got into an accident afterwards. Now you’re lying because Christy tried to kill you.
FELICIA: I forgive you.
RACHEL: Come on Felicia I haven’t even apologized yet.
FELICIA: How long have we been friends Rachel? We’ve had spats and disagreements before.
RACHEL: I couldn’t have gotten through most of the things of my life without you.
FELICIA: You have your children, too.
RACHEL: And hopefully I’ll...have my best friend.
FELICIA grabs RACHEL’S hand.
FELICIA: Of course you do. Always.
----------------------
AT THE PARK, GREGORY Is waiting for BRIANNA. His cell phone rings. He looks on the caller ID, sees LINDSAY’S name, and swipes ignore as BRIANNA walks up to him.
GREGORY: Well it’s about time.
BRIANNA: Um I wouldn’t talk that way if I were you, especially since you’re looking for a hit.
BRIANNA takes out a clear plastic bag with white capsule sized pills and dangles them. GREGORY reaches for them, but she pulls them away.
BRIANNA: These aren’t free.
GREGORY: Come on I don’t have any money. Please. Just this one time. I’m good for it. Here…
GREGORY digs in this pocket and takes out a pair of earrings.
GREGORY: Take these. I’m sure they’re worth something.
GREGORY gives her the earrings and BRIANNA looks at them.
BRIANNA: Hmmm these are…
GREGORY: Ruby diamond studs. I’m sure you can get something good for them.
BRIANNA: Yeah…I sure can.
BRIANNA gives him the pills.
BRIANNA: Take these. This is the last time.
GREGORY: I won’t contact you again I swear.
BRIANNA leaves as GREGORY takes the bag of pills. He sits on the bench and smashes the pills that are inside the bag with his right fist. He opens the bag and snorts the smashed pills. He takes a deep breath and stands up. He does not get far as he takes two steps, and collapses.
FREEZE FRAME ON GREGORY…SLOW FADE OUT…END OF 308
Gregory is spiralling fast!
ReplyDeleteI loved a lot about this episode, so let's just get to it.
First of all, I gotta say, great casting. I didn't really realize until this episode how much the three sisters look alike. Lindsay, Bridget, and Michele all look like they could be related, so it all makes sense.
I enjoyed how everything flowed here. All the previous episodes' threads sort of tied together nicely here. From Matt and Rachel discussing Brianna (Rachel had an inkling something was off about Brianna, and yet her past tendency to meddle makes her step back against her better judgment), to the twins (I loved Bridget seemingly drawing Cory into what I feel is a trap. She remembers their breakup and she isn't ready to forgive and I'm living for what happens next), to the connection between Lindsay and Bridget (it's lovely to see Bridget start to mend fences with her family, almost cynically trying to build a front of support against Michele), to Felicia and Rachel making up (great scene, and very natural. I felt their natural chemistry in that scene, classic AW), to Brianna and Gregory (OOPS he down LOL).
It flowed, it was exciting, it was emotional. I loved it all. GREAT soap opera from you, Cary. GREAT job.
I agree that the casting is great!! Any soap junkie should know the actors from other soaps and really appreciate the thought put into each character. I am a fan of the classic cast and am thankful you are including Felicia and Mitch in this series!! Hope to see more of them coming up. Thank you for keeping this great soap alive for the fans!! Can’t wait for more!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much,!!
