JASMINE:  No.
MATT:  I’m surprised you haven’t hit him up.

JASMINE SMILES.

JASMINE:  I dunno.  Not long.  I just wanted to see my grandparents and my dad.
RACHEL:  Um hm sure you did.
JASMINE:  Gram don’t be like that.
RACHEL:  No I’m just wondering where your mother is.

Lila Roberts

Bradley O' Neill













VICKY:  Lila?  
LILA:  Vicky hey.
VICKY:  What are you doing here?
LILA:  I uh…I was just leavin’.  Brad we’ll catch up?

LILA LEAVES.  VICKY WALKS IN AND SHUTS THE DOOR.

BRADLEY:  Hey.
VICKY:  What’s going on?
BRADLEY:  Not much I…thought you’d be headed over to the hospital to see Bridget.
VICKY:  I don’t think that’s gonna happen, but I do have a question for you.
BRADLEY:  What is that?
VICKY:  How do you know Lila?
BRADLEY:  She was uh…getting a consultation.
VICKY:  In your hotel room?
BRADLEY:  We’re friends.  I knew her from back in the day.
VICKY:  Last I knew, she went back to Louisiana after she divorced Cass Winthrop.  So she came all the way up here to Bay City just for a visit with you?
BRADLEY:  Well…uh…yeah.  

VICKY LOOKS AT BRADLEY AND FOLDS HER ARMS.

VICKY:  Come on Brad.  I know a lie when I hear one.  The truth this time okay?  Why is Lila REALLY here?

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

AT THE HOSPITAL, FRANKIE IS IN THE WAITING AREA WHEN CASS WALKS IN.
Frankie Frame

Cass Winthrop










FRANKIE:  Did you call Cecile?
CASS:  Yes I just got off the phone with her.
FRANKIE:  Is she coming?
CASS:  Tanquir’s on lockdown.  Nobody can come or leave the island.  
FRANKIE:  Oh…So Lila’s in Bay City huh?  
CASS:  That’s what it sounds like.  I’ll believe when I see it.
FRANKIE:  What do you suppose she’s doing here?
CASS:  Who knows?  She’s probably making the rounds with Jasmine.   
FRANKIE:  Charlie’s told me a lot about her.  
CASS:  Yeah they were thicker than thieves.
FRANKIE:  It’s great that Charlie grew up in a family.  You and Lila…Jasmine.

THERE’S AN AWKWARD SILENCE BETWEEN THEM.

CASS:  I…um…I’m gonna go check with Dr. Matthews about Maggie.

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

AT THE DOOR OF MAGGIE’S ROOM, RAFAEL STANDS IN FRONT OF IT AS DR. RUSS MATTHEWS WALKS UP TO HIM.
Dr. Russ Matthews

Rafael Santierro

Maggie Winthrop



RUSS:  Look, Rafael, you know what they say about a watched pot?
RAFAEL:  I get it, but I don’t wanna leave Maggie.
RUSS:  Do you really think Brianna is that much of a danger?  I really have a hard time believing that.  
RAFAEL:  Look sir I can’t prove anything, but I think Brianna is going to hurt Maggie if you don’t do anything.
RUSS:  There’s nothing I need to do.  She’s an excellent nurse, and she’s not assigned to Maggie’s case.  I can assure you that Dr. Winthrop is gonna get the best care.  
RAFAEL:  I don’t doubt that Dr. Matthews.  I just need to know that she’s protected.
RUSS:  You must care a lot about Dr. Winthrop.

RAFAEL PAUSES.

RAFAEL:  She’s my son’s mother and I don’t want anything to happen to her.
RUSS:  I guess I could…sympathize with that.  Listen, there’s not much more you can do here.  She’s gonna be unconscious for a while.  If there’s any change I’ll be sure to let you know.  
RAFAEL:  I’m not leaving Dr. Matthews.
RUSS:  Visiting hours are gonna end soon, and security is tight here.  You should go home and get some rest.  
RAFAEL:  You’ll call me when Maggie wakes up?
RUSS:  Sure, but I gotta tell you…I don’t expect her to wake up for a little while.
RAFAEL:  What are you saying Dr. Matthews?  You don’t know when Maggie’s gonna wake up?
RUSS:  I don’t.  We just have to wait.

CASS AND FRANKIE WALK UP TO THEM.

CASS:  Wait for what?
RUSS:  I was telling Rafael that he should go home and get some rest.  I would suggest you do the same.  If something changes with Maggie, you’ll be the first person I call.  
CASS:  Alright.  You’re ready?
FRANKIE:  Thanks Dr. Matthews.

MEANWHILE, BRIANNA IS AROUND THE CORNER, UNSEEN BY ALL, LISTENING.
Brianna Jameson

PART 2

BRADLEY:  I did some work in Louisiana.  
VICKY:  So that’s how you know Lila huh?
BRADLEY:  We were never really friends, but we kept in touch.
VICKY:  What kind of work did you do?
BRADLEY:  Consulting.
VICKY:  Consulting?
BRADLEY:  Uh yeah.
VICKY:  And you’re not telling me the truth.
BRADLEY:  Why do you think that?
VICKY:  Because I know Lila.  I get the feeling she’s up to no good.
BRADLEY:  You’re not, by any chance, holding her past against her are you?
VICKY:  She tried to keep me from Shane.
BRADLEY:  You don’t have to tell me the story.  I already know it.
VICKY:  Lila’s version.
BRADLEY:  I mean what if someone held your past against you.  Shane Roberts is dead, but isn’t he part of the reason your marriage fell apart?
VICKY:  Excuse me?
BRADLEY:  Everyone makes mistakes, and you have, too.
VICKY:  I don’t believe I’m hearing this from you.
BRADLEY:  I’ve heard a lot about your past, but I don’t judge you.  I would expect you to do the same for Lila.  

VICKY SHAKES HER HEAD.

VICKY:  I thought you and I were friends, but you decided to protect Lila.
BRADLEY:  What the hell are you talking about? 

VICKY WALKS TOWARD THE DOOR.

BRADLEY:  Vicky where are you going?
VICKY:  I guess I’m gonna have to go it alone in this town.  I know who my real friends are.

VICKY LEAVES.


RACHEL:  I bet she made a beeline right for Cass.
JASMINE:  I don’t know that to be entirely true.
MATT:  Why wouldn’t she go see Cass?  They were married.
JASMINE:  It didn’t end too well between them.
RACHEL:   That’s terrible.
JASMINE:  They tried to keep it from me as much as possible.  They really tried to make it work.  It’s like, they kept trying to repair the car, but there was too much damage to it, and they had to get rid of it.
MATT:  I’m sorry you went through that Jas.
JASMINE:  I understood more than they realized.  Charlie was the one who was hurt more.  I could see it all over her face; the way she carried herself.  She had really grown to love my mom as her own mom.

LILA WALKS IN.

LILA:  Well hellooooo!

RACHEL WALKS UP TO LILA AND HUGS HER.

RACHEL:  Lila.  Good to see you.
LILA:  Rachel.

MATT GIVES LILA A HUG ALSO.

MATT:  What are you doing back in Bay City?
LILA:  Well…uh…because Jasmine wanted to see her daddy, her grandma and her grandpa.  Right Jasmine?
JASMINE:  Um…yeah of course.  I mean it’s been a while hasn’t it?
RACHEL:  It sure has.  Well I hope you’re staying for a little while.

RACHEL LOOKS AT MATT, WHO LOOKS AT LILA.

RACHEL:  Jasmine why don’t you come to the kitchen with me.  Hilda’s got some recipes she wanted to share.
JASMINE:  Recipes?  I don’t know how to cook.
RACHEL:  No time like the present to learn right?

RACHEL GENTLY PULLS JASMINE AS THEY BOTH LEAVE THE LIVING ROOM.  MATT TURNS TO LILA.

LILA:  Well I see things haven’t changed that much around here.
MATT:  Right.  So have you seen Cass?
LILA:  No.  Why?
MATT:  Well he is your ex husband.
LILA:  Well that don’t mean I have to go runnin’ to see him.
MATT:  Lila, this is a sore spot for you isn’t it?
LILA:  Are you serious right now?  I came to get my daughter so we can go.
MATT:  What really happened between you and Cass?

RACHEL AND JASMINE WALK IN THE LIVING ROOM.

RACHEL:  Tell everybody what you learned.
JASMINE:  Oh Gram come on I’m not eight years old.  
RACHEL:  She learned that water doesn’t take that long to boil.
JASMINE:  Ha ha very funny.
LILA:  So you ready to go baby?
JASMINE:  Yeah let’s go.

LILA:  Well I’ll see y’all later.
JASMINE:  Bye dad.  Bye Gram.
MATT:  Love you.
RACHEL:  Love you sweetheart.

JASMINE HUGS MATT AND RACHEL, AND LILA DOES THE SAME AS THEY WALK OUT.

RACHEL:  You’re headed to the hospital?
MATT:  Yep.  
RACHEL:  You’re gonna see Brianna?
MATT:  Yeah.  
RACHEL:  Matthew…
MATT:  See ya later mom.

MATT WALKS OUT.


IN THE CAR, LILA IS DRIVING WHILE JASMINE RIDES IN THE PASSENGER’S SEAT.

JASMINE:  Cool rental car.  
LILA:   Well I don’t have it for long and don’t get any ideas young lady.
JASMINE:  Geesh mom.  You should have just let me come here by myself.
LILA:  Now you know I wasn’t gon’ let that happen.
JASMINE:  I wanna go see Charlie.  I’m gonna be an aunt.
LILA:  It’s kind of late so we gon’ have to wait till tomorrow.
JASMINE:  I’m glad you arrived at grandma’s when you did.
LILA:  Why is that?
JASMINE:  I almost told them why you and Cass got a divorce.

LILA SIGHS.

LILA:  You want me to relive that.
JASMINE:  Of course I don’t mom.  But everyone’s gonna find out sooner or later that you blame Charlie’s mom.
LILA:  Frankie.  She was the reason why Cass and I broke up.  Don’t you do what I did.
JASMINE:  What’s that?
LILA:  Settling for less.  Being second.  You better pick a man who’s gon’ put you first, or you gon’ end up like Cass and me.


CASS WALKS BACK INTO THE WAITING ROOM WHERE FRANKIE WAITS.

FRANKIE:  What did Dr. Matthews tell you?
CASS:  No change.  We should probably go home.
FRANKIE:  Where’s Rafael?
CASS:  He left.
FRANKIE:  I think he’s right about Maggie being in danger.
CASS:  I do, too.  I talked to the hospital staff.  They’re gonna keep a watch.
FRANKIE:  Are you sure Maggie’s gonna be safe with Brianna on the loose?
CASS:  Brianna’s not assigned to Maggie’s case.
FRANKIE:  How can we be sure that she’s gonna be safe?  Keeping a watch is not gonna be enough.

RUSS WALKS IN.

CASS:  Dr. Matthews.
RUSS:  I talked to Toni Burrell.
FRANKIE:  What did she say?
RUSS:  She’s assigned an officer to Maggie’s room, so she should be safe.
CASS:  Thank you.  
FRANKIE:  That makes me feel a little better.
CASS:  A little?
FRANKIE:  We can go home.


AT THE FRONT OF MAGGIE’S ROOM, AN OFFICER IS SITTING OUTSIDE WHEN BRIANNA WALKS UP TO HIM DRESSED IN PLAIN CLOTHES.

BRIANNA:  So you’re assigned to Dr. Winthrop’s room.  Is she in some kind of danger?
OFFICER:  I can’t say anything about that.
BRIANNA:  Okay I understand.  You’re just doing your job.
OFFICER:  Is there something you need?  
BRIANNA:  No just…admiring that all the stops have been pulled to protect Dr. Winthrop.
OFFICER:  I’m not letting anyone in except Dr. Matthews and Nurse Shelley Bray.  And you don’t look like Shelley Bray.
BRIANNA:  No I’m not.  I come as a friend.  
OFFICER:  I know you work here Nurse Jameson.
BRIANNA:  I do.  Dr. Winthrop and I have worked on a lot of cases together, and we’ve become friends.  I hate that this happened to her.  I wish I could have been there to help.  I really would like to see her.
OFFICER:  Okay.  Don’t be long.
BRIANNA:  This wont take long.  Thanks officer.


BRIANNA WALKS INSIDE MAGGIE’S ROOM.  MAGGIE IS HOOKED UP TO A BEEPING VENTILATOR AS SHE LIES UNCONSCIOUS.  BRIANNA SLOWLY WALKS UP TO MAGGIE, AND LEANS IN.

BRIANNA:  You’re awfully hard to kill.

Cass Winthrop

Rafael Santierro

Rachel Cory Hutchins




Frankie Frame







CASS:  Oh my God.  What happened?

RAFAEL:  They found her locked in the hospital freezer downstairs.

FRANKIE:  Are you serious?  How long was she there?

RACHEL:  Thankfully not that long.

CASS:  But long enough that she’s unconscious.

RAFAEL:  That’s what the doctors are saying.   Excuse me, I’m gonna go find my son.

RACHEL:  Rafael said that Brianna may have done this.

FRANKIE:  We have reason to believe that she’s been trying to hurt Maggie for a while now.

RACHEL:  I need to know about this woman. 

CASS:  Frankie and I have looked into it and we haven’t found much.

FRANKIE:  Only that she was connected to Christy.

CASS:  She forced Felicia to drink vodka and take flurazepam before she skipped town.

RACHEL:  Looks like Matthew picked another winner.

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

AT THE CORYS, MATT is on his cell phone as he gathers documents in his suitcase.

Matt Cory


MATT:  Yeah we just hired someone new.  How’s Alli?.... Good you know I didn’t doubt that she was gonna recover....Come on Amanda I’m not trying to jinx it I know she’s not a hundred percent yet.  I gotta go see Maggie at the hospital.  I hope she’s okay.  Alright I’ll speak to you later.




MATT PRESSES END CALL ON HIS CELL PHONE.  HE GRABS HIS BRIEFCASE, WALKS THROUGH THE FOYER AND OPENS THE FRONT DOOR.  HE SEES A YOUNG WOMAN.

MATT:  Jasmine?  What are you doing here?

JASMINE:  Well hello to you, too dad.

JASMINE WALKS IN.

Jasmine Cory

MATT:  I was just leaving.

JASMINE:  And where are you going that could be more important than seeing your daughter?

MATT:  Since you’re here, your mother can’t be far behind.  Is she in town, too?




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

AT BRADLEY’S HOTEL ROOM, BRADLEY IS ON HIS CELL PHONE WITH VICKY.

Bradley O' Neill

BRADLEY:  I’m sorry Vicky.  You can come here and talk about if you need to.  I’m here.  Okay see you in a bit.

SOMEONE KNOCKS ON THE DOOR.  BRADLEY OPENS IT.  IT’S LILA.

BRADLEY:  Hey Lila.  What are you doing here?

LILA:  Well I just came to check on ya.  See how ya holdin’ up.




BRADLEY SHUTS THE DOOR AFTER LILA WALKS IN.

Lila Roberts

BRADLEY:  Surprisingly well given the circumstances.

LILA:  You mean to tell that you ain’t pinin’ for Frankie.

BRADLEY:  I’m too busy being a friend to Vicky.

LILA:  You sound like that’s a bad thing.

BRADLEY:  No it’s not.  It’s been a very good distraction.  She’s going through a lot with her family.

LILA:  I can’t imagine what she must be goin’ through with her daughters.  I mean, Charlie and Jasmine had arguments but none of them ever ended up in a coma.

BRADLEY:  Bridget woke up and she doesn’t want anything to do with Vicky.

LILA:  Wow it sounds like you’re the one who’s broken up about it.

BRADLEY:  I just feel bad for Vicky that’s all.

LILA:  Are you sure that’s it?

BRADLEY:  What exactly are you implying Lila?

LILA:  If I ain’t know any better, I’d say you got a little thing for her.

BRADLEY SHAKES HIS HEAD AND SMILES.

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

AT THE MCKINNONS, VICKY GRABS HER PURSE AND DONNA WALKS IN.

Donna Love

Vicky Hudson

VICKY:  Donna I’m not up for a years-too-late lecture.

DONNA:  Where are you going?

VICKY:  You must not have heard me.  

DONNA:  Don’t try to throw that bit at me about being a mother to you.  It wasn’t my fault what your grandfather did.

VICKY:  Look I know what you’re gonna say, and I had a talk with Bridget.

DONNA:  Really?  How did it go?

VICKY:  Just as I expected.  She told me to get lost.

DONNA:  Oh Victoria.  I’m sorry.

VICKY:  So now can you get off my back about making it up to her?

DONNA:  She’s just…she’s not ready right now.  She’ll come around eventually.  After everything that’s happened, the way she reacted shouldn’t have come as a huge shock to you.

VICKY:  It didn’t.  Look I’m headed out.  Lock up behind you.

DONNA:  So you’re just gonna leave me alone here.

VICKY OPENS THE DOOR, AND KIRKLAND WALKS UP.

Kirkland Harrison

VICKY:  Kirkland hi honey.

KIRKLAND:  Hey mom.  Are you gonna be gone long?

VICKY:  I dunno.  Maybe.  Hey keep your grandmother company.

KIRKLAND WALKS IN AS VICKY SHUTS THE DOOR. 

DONNA:  Hi sweetheart.

KIRKLAND:  What was that all about?

DONNA:  Your mother has lot on her mind.  So what brings you here?

PART 2

AT THE HOSPITAL, RACHEL, CASS AND FRANKIE are in the waiting area.

CASS:  We don’t mean to alarm you Rachel.  

FRANKIE:  We had no idea that she was dating Matthew.

RACHEL:  She seemed pretty nice when I talked to her, and Matthew is really into her.

FRANKIE:  Maggie asked me earlier to dig into Brianna’s past, but I refused.  I thought she was just jealous.  If only I had believed her.  Maybe this wouldn’t have happened.

CASS:  You don’t know that Frankie.  Besides we found that she was connected to Christy.

FRANKIE:  But that was a dead end, too.

CASS:  If it weren’t for that we wouldn’t have found Felicia.

RACHEL:  Thank God.

JOHN walks up to them.

John Hudson

CASS:  John.

JOHN:  Hi um.  I just checked on Maggie.  Still no change.

FRANKIE:  We need her to wake up and tell us what Brianna did to her.

CASS:  Is she around?  I’ll get the truth out of her.

JOHN:  I’m gonna tell you what I told Sharlene.  We should not make a move on Brianna without any evidence.  Right now all we have are accusations.  It’s her word against ours.

CASS:  There’s gotta be something we can get on her.

JOHN:  Sharlene and I went to Wood Pines and we found out that she was posing as Taylor Benson.

FRANKIE:  I feel like it’s right on the tip of our tongues.  We just can’t make the connection between Brianna and Taylor.  

RACHEL GETS A CALL ON HER CELL PHONE.

RACHEL:  Matthew hi.  Are you serious?  I’ll be right there.

RACHEL PRESSES END CALL.

RACHEL:  I’m gonna head back home. 

CASS:  We’ll call you as soon as we hear something about Maggie.

RACHEL:  Thank you Cass.  Before I leave, I thought you might like to know.  That was Matthew.  He said Jasmine showed up at the door as he was leaving.

CASS:  Jasmine?  What is she doing here?

RACHEL:  I guess I’m gonna find out.

RACHEL WALKS OUT.

CASS:  If Jasmine’s here, then Lila must be, too.

FRANKIE:  Lila?  Why did they come to Bay City now?

CASS:  Who knows?

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

KIRKLAND:  I was hoping to talk to mom but…

DONNA:  Well…is it something you can’t talk to me about?

KIRKLAND:  I kinda wanted to tell my parents first.

DONNA:  I’m your grandmother.  I can tell Victoria.

KIRKLAND:  The last time I told them something big it turned into a competition.  

DONNA:  What exactly do you mean?

KIRKLAND:  Mom was upset that I told my dad about the wedding before I told her, so this time I wanted to tell them both at the same time.

DONNA:  Your father and your mother have been pulling you in every direction since you were a little boy.  So…what is it that you were going to tell…

DONNA PUTS HER LEFT HAND ON HER MOUTH AND REMOVES IT.

DONNA:  Oh, you and Charlie are gonna have a baby?  Victoria’s gonna be a grandmother.

KIRKLAND:  And that would make you a…

DONNA:  Don’t say it.  I don’t need any more reminders of…this is fantastic Kirkland.  Congratulations.  I’m so happy for you.

DONNA HUGS KIRKLAND.

DONNA:  Enjoy it.  You’ll be there for the birth of your child.  Have you and Charlie come up with any names.  You can name her after me if it’s a girl.

KIRKLAND:  Oh come on grandma what am I supposed to say to that?

DONNA:  So you’re not gonna name her after me?

KIRKLAND:  We don’t know the gender of the baby yet.

DONNA:  Okay well honey I’m very happy for you and Charlie, and I want you to enjoy this.  Seems as though you’re the bearer of good news in this family.

KIRKLAND:  I’m…gonna be a dad.  How did grandpa Michael feel when he found out you were pregnant?  Aw man, grandma I’m so sorry.  I forgot all about…

DONNA:  No sweetheart you don’t have to apologize.  My father robbed me of the joy of having a baby.  Don’t let anyone do that to you.

DONNA TURNS AWAY FROM KIRKLAND.

KIRKLAND:  Well I know mom and Aunt Marley have had their differences but…they’re cool now.

DONNA:  Yeah they are.  Now if we can only get Bridget and Michele to get along.  I’m just happy that Victoria and Marley get to be with all of their children.

KIRKLAND:  Of course.  

DONNA:  I…didn’t get that chance.  

KIRKLAND:  What great grandfather did was evil.  Sending mom away and making you think that Aunt Marley was your sister.

DONNA:  Yes it was.

KIRKLAND:  Well, mom and Aunt Marley found each other.

DONNA:  There’s more than just Victoria and Marley.  There was a third child.

KIRKLAND:  What?  You never mentioned that you had triplets.

DONNA:  All this…talk about you having a baby with Charlie, it brought up…thoughts you know?

KIRKLAND:  Did Reginald take this baby away from you, too?

DONNA:  Yes.  

KIRKLAND:  Wow grandma I…I didn’t mean to bring all of this pain up for you.  We should…try and find him…or her.

DONNA:  I…have no idea where to even start looking.

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

JASMINE:  She’s around I guess.

MATT:  You guess?  If you were coming to Bay City your mom would have called and told me.  Have you seen your grandfather yet?

JASMINE:  No.

MATT:  I’m surprised you haven’t hit him up.

JASMINE:  You act like I only call Grandpa Mitch when I want something.

MATT:  Well you do.

JASMINE:  I can’t help it if he spoils me.

RACHEL WALKS INTO THE LIVING ROOM.

RACHEL:  Well that’s not the only grandparent that spoils you.

JASMINE:  Gram.  Hiiiii.

JASMINE WALKS UP to RACHEL AND THEY HUG EACH OTHER.

RACHEL:  Good to see you sweetheart.  So how long are you visiting for?

JASMINE SMILES.

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

BRADLEY:  Vicky and I have become good friends, but I don’t have any feelings for her.

LILA:  Ummm hmmm.  So you’re still hung up on that red headed liar.

BRADLEY:  Don’t talk about Frankie like that.

LILA:  Well it’s true isn’t it?  She hasn’t told Cass that you two were married.  Hell I even bet that she hasn’t told him where she’s been all this time since she left.

BRADLEY:  Frankie’s a good woman.

LILA:  But she’s no good for Cass.  She’s gon’ destroy him.  She came back and played Anne O’ Donnell and damn near turned Charlie’s life upside down.  No.  No I ain’t lettin’ her marry Cass.

LILA GETS A TEXT AND READS IT.

BRADLEY:  Who’s that?

LILA:  It’s Matthew.  Oh no.  Jasmine’s at the Corys.  I got to go over there and do damage control.  We’ll talk soon.

LILA GOES AND OPENS THE DOOR AND SEES VICKY.

VICKY:  Lila?  

LILA:  Vicky hey.

VICKY:  What are you doing here?
