PART 1
 
OUTSIDE THE DOOR OF DONNA’S SUITE, JAKE AND PAULINA WALK UP TO THE DOOR.  PAULINA TURNS TO JAKE.

Jake McKinnon

Paulina Cory

 
PAULINA:  Promise me you’re not gonna do anything.
JAKE:  Do what?
PAULINA:  I bet you didn’t forget to bring that document that Thomasina gave you.
JAKE:  It really doesn’t prove anything.  You saw it.
PAULINA:  I DID see it, and you’re right.  It’s not concrete enough evidence, but you brought it so you can get Michele to tell you If she was behind it.
 
JAKE DOESN’T ANSWER PAULINA.
 
PAULINA:  Jake don’t do this to your own daughter.  This party’s for Bridget.  Let her celebrate her homecoming.   Besides you don’t even know if Michele did it.
JAKE:  I gotta ask her.
PAULINA:  And you SHOULD find out the truth, but not tonight.  Are you ready?
JAKE:  Let’s go.
 

----------------------------------------------------
 
INSIDE, ALLEN, JOY, MICHELE, MARLEY AND BRIDGET LOOK ON AS STEVEN KNEELS ON ONE KNEE AND LOOKS UP AT JOY.  STEVEN TAKES OUT THE RING AND PLACES ON JOY’S LEFT RING FINGER AS VICKY WALKS IN.

Joy Kramer

Steven Frame

 


STEVEN:  Joy Kramer, the love of my life, will you marry me?
 
JOY PLACES HER RIGHT HAND OVER HER MOUTH IN AMAZEMENT, AND LETS IT DOWN.
 
JOY:  Steven I…I do.  Yes I’ll marry you!
VICKY:  NO! 
 
EVERYONE LOOKS BACK AT VICKY, WHO IS IN THE FOYER AS JAKE AND PAULINA WALK IN.  VICKY WALKS UP TO STEVEN AND JOY.
 

Vicky Hudson

VICKY:  Steven you can’t be serious.
STEVEN:  Mom what are you doing?
VICKY:  Don’t do this.  You’re making a big mistake.
JAKE:  What did we walk in to?
PAULINA:  Looks like we’re about to find out.
VICKY:  After everything this woman has done to this family, you’re gonna ask her to marry you?
JOY:  I’m standing right here.
STEVEN:  This is not the time to do this.
VICKY:  Steven honey maybe we should go somewhere and talk about this.
STEVEN:  But there’s nothing to discuss.
VICKY:  You cannot marry this woman! 
STEVEN:  MOM!  I’m not doing this with you.  I told you before not to make me choose.
VICKY:  You’re not being fair and you’re not thinking clearly!
STEVEN:  Don’t tell me what I’m thinking!  I told you…not to make me choose between you and the woman I love.  I’m choosing her.  Let’s go Joy.
VICKY:  Steven you don’t mean that!
STEVEN:  You’re no longer my mother.
 
STEVEN TAKES JOY’S HAND AND THEY WALK OUT.
 
VICKY:  STEVEN!  Steven come back!
 
VICKY GOES AFTER THEM BUT JAKE STEPS IN FRONT OF HER NEAR THE FOYER
 
VICKY:  Get out of my way Jake!
PAULINA:  Vicky what the hell is going on?
VICKY:  My son is about to make the biggest mistake of his life!
 
DONNA AND MARLEY COME UP TO VICKY.
 

Marley Hudson Montgomery

Donna Love

DONNA:  Let’s go Victoria!
VICKY:  You don’t understand…
MARLEY:  Victoria let’s…go and talk about this okay?
 
DONNA, MARLEY AND VICKY LEAVE THE ROOM.
 
 

MEANWHILE, IN THE LIVING ROOM, KC TURNS TO ALLEN.
 

KC Burrell

Allen Love

KC:  Wow. 
ALLEN:  Vicky looked real serious.
KC:  I wonder what she has against Joy.
ALLEN:  She probably feels like she’s protecting her son.  Just like I would do for you.
KC:  I know.  You and mom went ham about Eric.
ALLEN:  And we were right about him weren’t we?
KC:  I guess you were, but the real question…is Vicky right about Joy?
 

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

MEANWHILE, IN THE LIVING ROOM, BRIDGET WALKS UP TO MICHELE AS PAULINA APPROACHES.
 

Bridget McKinnon

Michele McKinnon

PAULINA:  Hi girls.
MICHELE:  Paulina hi.
BRIDGET:  Hey Paulina.
PAULINA:  How are you feeling?
BRIDGET:  I feel…I don’t know.  I just watched mom ruin things again.
 
CORY WALKS INTO THE LIVING ROOM, AND BRIDGET WALKS UP TO HIM.

Cory Hutchins

 
CORY:  Hey.
BRIDGET:  Hi.  You missed the fireworks. 
CORY:  I really appreciate you asking me to come.
 
BRIDGET SMILES.
 
BRIDGET:   My pleasure.
CORY:  What’s going on here?  I saw your mom, your Aunt and your grandmother.
BRIDGET:  Guess they’re having a pow wow.
 

-----------------------------------------------
 
IN A PRIVATE ROOM, VICKY IS WITH DONNA AND MARLEY.
 
DONNA:  Have you completely lost your mind? 
VICKY:  The only one who’s lost his mind is Steven.  He can’t see that Joy is going to destroy him.
DONNA:  I can’t believe what you’ve just done. 
VICKY:  You don’t understand!  Can’t you try to see this from my point of view?
DONNA:  I threw this party for Bridget and you’ve managed to make it about you.  Marley please talk some sense into your sister.  I’m going back out and try and calm things down.
 
DONNA LEAVES VICKY AND MARLEY ALONE.
 
MARLEY:  You made quite a scene out there. 
VICKY:  When Roman gets older, and gets involved with the wrong woman, you’ll understand where I’m coming from.  I mean, Joy slept with your husband years ago, and it caused him to lose his judge’s seat.  I think you would be on my side here.
MARLEY:  I’ve put all of that behind me.  You should do the same.
VICKY:  People like Joy don’t really change.  She almost destroyed your marriage.  How am I supposed to forget that?
MARLEY:  My marriage was having problems before that. 
VICKY:  Not only that, she kidnapped your son from the nursery.
MARLEY:  We all know why she did that.
VICKY:  I don’t wanna hear the ‘Reginald made her do it’ excuse.
MARLEY:  You act as though you’ve forgotten the reach that grandfather had.
VICKY:  I feel so powerless.  I’m watching Steven drive a car ninety miles an hour and he’s headed for a brick wall!  What am I supposed to do?  It’s not a question of if, it’s when Joy is going to hurt my son, and how many pieces will we have to pick up after she blows his life to smithereens?
 
CAMERA PAN ON VICKY.  SLOW FADE OUT.  END OF PART 1

 
 
 -------------

PART 2
 
VICKY IS IN A SEPARATE ROOM WITH MARLEY.
 
MARLEY:  I understand, but there’s really nothing you can do about it.
VICKY:  The hell there isn’t.
MARLEY:  Steven is a grown man.  If you think he’s making a mistake, it’s his to make.
VICKY:  I may not be feeling this way about Joy if she hadn’t done what she did to you.
MARLEY:  And I love you for advocating for me, but this isn’t about me.  Now you’ve gotta go out there and apologize to Bridget.
VICKY:  I don’t know how much more I can make it up to her.
MARLEY:  I really really wish that you and Bridget would make amends. 
VICKY:  I tried but she doesn’t want to talk to me.
MARLEY:  Give her time. 
 

----------------------------------------
 
DONNA IS TALKING TO ALLEN AND KC.
 
DONNA:  I’m so sorry about Victoria. 
ALLEN:  As much of a scene that she made, I understand it.
KC:  He was like that about a guy I was dating.
DONNA:  As a parent we would do anything to protect our children.
KC:  But Steven isn’t a kid anymore.  She must have pushed him too far.  He said he didn’t want anything to do with her.
ALLEN:  I think deep down he wants Vicky to approve of his relationship.  I hope they can work that out.
 

---------------------------------------
 
JAKE IS WITH PAULINA TALK IN A LOUD WHISPER.
 
PAULINA:  I really hope you don’t show what’s in that envelope.
JAKE:  I hope I don’t have to.  Like you said it doesn’t prove anything.
PAULINA:  But you’re gonna use it to try and get the truth out of Michele.  I don’t think she did this.
JAKE:  Come on Paulina.  You think that I WANT Michele to be the one who switched the tests?
PAULINA:  I don’t know what to think.
 

---------------------------------------
 
CORY WALKS OVER TO MICHELE.
 
MICHELE:  Hey Cory.
CORY:  Hey.  What’s going on?
MICHELE:  Watching the Love/Hudsons be themselves.
CORY:  You mean a sane, cohesive family unit?
MICHELE:  If what we just saw represents togetherness, then yeah. 
 
VICKY AND MARLEY WALK IN TOGETHER.
 
MARLEY:  Hi everyone.  Vicky has something to say.
VICKY:  Um…I apologize for that little…outburst.  Bridget I’m sorry.  This is your party and I didn’t mean to interrupt it like that.
 
DONNA LOOKS AT VICKY AND SMILES.
 
BRIDGET:  It’s okay mom.  You and Aunt Marley came back just in time because I…I’ve got something for you Michele.
 
BRIDGET GOES TO THE TABLE AND TAKES OUT A CARD.
 
BRIDGET:  I…know we haven’t been close lately.
DONNA:  That’s an understatement.
 
BRIDGET WALKS UP TO MICHELE, THEN LOOKS DOWN TO READ THE CARD.
 
BRIDGET:  But I…wanted to read this to you.  Roses may be red, birds may sing, but I am certain that I remember…everything.
 
BRIDGET LOOKS UP AT MICHELE.
 
MICHELE:  Remember?
BRIDGET:  Yeah sis.  Total recall.
 
MICHELE LOOKS AROUND AND SMILES NERVOUSLY, THEN LOOKS BACK AT BRIDGET.
 
MICHELE:  I don’t know what you mean.
BRIDGET:  You know exactly what I’m talking about.  I remember everything you told me right before I collapsed in front of the Corys.
MICHELE:  Bridget you…you just came out of a coma.  Maybe your mind’s a little foggy.
BRIDGET:  The coma would never have happened if it weren’t for you.
 
DONNA WALKS OVER TO THE THEM.
 
DONNA:  What is going on here?
BRIDGET:  Why don’t you tell em Michele?
MICHELE:  Again I don’t know what you mean.
BRIDGET:  You told me that I never had chlamydia.  You told me that you switched the tests. 
 
CAMERA PAN ON BRIDGET.  END OF PART 2
 

---------------------------------------
 
CONCLUSION
 
MICHELE:  I thought we were…making up.
BRIDGET:  Did you really think you were gonna get away with it?
 
JAKE REACHES INTO HIS POCKET AND PAULINA TURNS TO HIM.
 
PAULINA:  Don’t you do it Jake. 
JAKE:  I can’t watch this anymore. 
PAULINA:  Michele is your daughter.
VICKY:  Do what?
 
JAKE TAKES THE PAPER OUT OF THE ENVELOPE.
 
JAKE:  This is a document from the hospital.  The switch occurred the day after Bridget’s test.
BRIDGET:  And my test was negative.
DONNA:  Michele?  Is this true?
 
VICKY WALKS OVER TO MICHELE AND PUTS HER RIGHT ARM ON MICHELE’S LEFT SHOULDER.
 
VICKY:  This is so ridiculous!   Of course she didn’t switch those tests!
BRIDGET:  You can take her side all you want mom, but the truth is the truth.  Michele switched my tests, didn’t you?
 
MICHELE’S EYES WELL UP WITH TEARS.  KC INTERJECTS.
 
KC:  Hey maybe you guys should go and talk about in private.
BRIDGET:  No.  This is perfect.
ALLEN:  I don’t think you really want to humiliate your sister.
BRIDGET:  She did it to herself.
JAKE:  Michele, please tell us the truth…
VICKY:  She didn’t DO anything!
JAKE:  Let her tell us.  I’ll ask you again, did you switch those tests?
 
MICHELE SOBS.
 
MICHELE:  YES!  OKAY!  I switched the tests!

ANOTHER WORLD 330 Felicia gets bad news

 
ANOTHER WORLD 330
Created by:  William J. Bell and Irna Phillips

Consultant:  A. Washington Beeby

 
IN THIS EPISODE:  Felicia Gallant Blake, Mitch Blake, Devin Hutchins, Dante Carlino, John Hudson, Sharlene Hudson, Matt Cory, Brianna Jameson, Steven Frame, KC Burrell, Joy Kramer, Allen Love, Donna Love, Vicky Hudson, Thomasina Mason, Michele McKinnon, Bridget McKinnon,
 
SPECIAL GUEST: Marley Hudson Montgomery

Also:  Steven shocks Vicky; Matt makes an important decision on Brianna's request to leave Bay City

PREVIOUSLY ON ANOTHER WORLD

• Felicia was lured to Christy Carson's suite.  Christy held Felicia at gunpoint and forced Felicia to drink a bottle of vodka and take flurazepam
• Brianna Jameson came to Bay City seeking revenge on John and Sharlene Hudson, as she blames them for her mother's death (Taylor Benson).  Taylor died, but not before wishing that Brianna would "finish" Sharlene Hudson.  Brianna has already tampered with Sharlene's brakes and tried to run her down in the hospital parking garage.  Christy was the only other person who knows that Brianna is Taylor's daughter.  Frankie, John, and Sharlene are seeking to make a connection between Brianna and Taylor
• Michele switched Bridget's tests at the hospital to make it look like she had chlamydia.  It leads to Cory breaking up with Bridget.  As a result of that false positive test (it was originally negative), Bridget was prescribed an antibiotic which caused her go into anaphylactic shock and into a medically induced coma

 
PART 1
 
AT THE BLAKE’S, FELICIA SITS ON THE COUCH ON HER CELL PHONE AS MITCH BRINGS HER A CUP OF TEA.

Felicia Gallant Blake

Mitch Blake

 
FELICIA:  What took you so long to call me back?
MITCH:  Herbal?
FELICIA:  Thank you honey but I can’t think about tea right now.
 
FELICIA GOES BACK TO HER PHONE CALL
 
FELICIA:  As long as Christy’s out there, she is a threat! 
MITCH:  Jenna or Lorna?
 
FELICIA COVERS THE SPEAKER AND TURNS TO MITCH.
 
FELICIA:  Jenna.
 
FELICIA GOES BACK TO JENNA ON THE PHONE.
 
FELICIA:  Look I can’t take that chance.  I won’t feel good until I know she’s locked up….Love you, too.  Please be safe.
 
FELICIA ENDS HER CALL WITH JENNA.
 
FELICIA:  Why haven’t we heard anything from the police?
MITCH:  I’m sure they’re doing everything they can to find Christy.
FELICIA:  Well apparently they’re not doing enough.
MITCH:  Calling Jenna and Lorna constantly is not going to solve the problem.
FELICIA:  Outside of looking for her myself, what do you suggest I do?  She threatened my family before she forced me to down those pills.  What if she’s planning to attack Jenna or Lorna?
MITCH:  Didn’t you just speak to them?  They’re gonna be fine.
FELICIA:  I did but…you don’t understand.
 
MITCH PUTS HIS HANDS ON FELICIA’S SHOULDERS AND LOOKS HER IN THE EYES.
 
MITCH:  I’m not gonna let her or anyone else hurt you.
FELICIA:  You can’t guarantee that.  She’s gotta pay for what she’s done.
 
SOMEONE RINGS THE DOORBELL AND FELICIA GOES AND OPENS IT.
 

Devin Hutchins

FELICIA:  Devin.
DEVIN:  Hey grandma.
FELICIA:  Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes?  Come in. 
 
BEFORE FELICIA SHUTS THE DOOR, DANTE KNOCKS ON THE DOOR.
 

Dante Carlino

DANTE:  Hi Mrs. Blake.
FELICIA:  Dante.  Please come in.
 
FELICIA SHUTS THE DOOR.
 
MITCH:  This must be an official visit.
DANTE:  You would be correct.
FELICIA:  So have you found Christy?
DANTE:  I do have news about her, and it isn’t good.
 
 ---------------------------------------------------------
 

AT THE FARM, JOHN IS IN THE LIVING ROOM PUTTING ON HIS SPORTCOAT AS SHARLENE WALKS IN FROM UPSTAIRS.

John Hudson

Sharlene Hudson

 
JOHN:  Gonna wish me luck today?
SHARLENE:  Why would you need that?
JOHN:  I’m scheduled to meet with the board.
SHARLENE:  The board?  What happened?
JOHN:  They said I prescribed Flurazepam to Felicia.
SHARLENE:  You write prescriptions all the time.  What’s wrong with this one?
JOHN:  It’s the drug that they found in Felicia’s system after Cass and Frankie found her.
SHARLENE:  It sounds like they’re making you responsible for what she did with the drugs.  It doesn’t make any sense.
JOHN:  Her Primary Care Doctor didn’t authorize it, so I have to answer for it.
SHARLENE:  It doesn’t seem like you would go rogue like that. 
JOHN:  That’s the thing.  I didn’t.  Someone broke into my doctor portal and wrote the prescription in my name.
SHARLENE:  I’m sure you’ll be cleared of all of this.
JOHN:  I gotta get outta here.  Are you gonna be alright?
SHARLENE:  I’m gonna be just fine.
JOHN:  I don’t like leaving you here, especially with Brianna out there.
SHARLENE:  Did you forget that you bought some protection for me?
JOHN:  I just want you and Gregory to be safe.  Alright I’m going. 
SHARLENE:  Good luck.
 
JOHN NODS HIS HEAD ONCE AND LEAVES.
 

-------------------------------------------------------------
 
BRIANNA GETS OUT OF THE BED, PUTS HER ROBE ON AND TURNS HER BACK TO MATT.  SHE TAKES TWO STEPS AWAY FROM THE BED.

Matt Cory

Brianna Jameson

 
MATT:  Brianna.  What’s wrong?
BRIANNA:  I don’t quite know how I want to say what I want to say.
MATT:  Just…say it?
 
BRIANNA TURNS AROUND AND FACES MATT.
 
BRIANNA:  I wanna leave…with you.
MATT:  Why?
BRIANNA:  Don’t you get it?  I want to leave town…with you.
MATT:  That sounds good.  I’d love to get away for a while.
BRIANNA:  No.  I’m talking about for good.  Let’s leave Bay City together.
MATT:  Babe you know I can’t do that.
BRIANNA:  Well why not?
MATT:  Well for starters I have my family here; my work.
BRIANNA:  Your family?  Everybody’s an adult. 
MATT:  That has nothing to do with it.  My life is here.
 
BRIANNA SITS BACK ON THE BED.
 
BRIANNA:  This might be our only chance at a life together.
MATT:  And why can’t we have that here?
BRIANNA:  Don’t you want a fresh start?  Somewhere where nobody knows us?  There’s no history; no baggage; no memories.  We can have our own lives.  It’s really a no brainer if you think about it.
MATT:  Brianna what is this really about?  What’s really going on?
 

---------------------------------------------------------------
 
AT DONNA’S SUITE, THE LONG RECTANGULAR TABLE IS IN THE CENTER OF THE LIVING ROOM COVERED WITH BROWN TABLECLOTH.  STREAMERS LINE THE WALLS THAT SAY:  WELCOME HOME. 
 
MEANWHILE, OFF IN A SHORT DISTANCE, STEVEN WALKS UP TO KC.

Steven Frame

KC Burrell

 
STEVEN:  Hey you.
KC:  What’s going on?
STEVEN:  Are you enjoying yourself?
KC:  Why wouldn’t I?
STEVEN:  Join the rest of us.  You’re kinda off in a corner by yourself.
KC:  Oh it’s not intentional.  I’m just…observing.
 
KC LOOKS OVER AT ALLEN AND JOY, WHO ARE AT THE PUNCH BOWL SIPPING ON THEIR DRINKS.

Joy Kramer

Allen Love

 
JOY:  This is a really nice party.
ALLEN:  My Aunt Donna really did it up for Bridget.
JOY:  Yes she sure did.  I wonder where Vicky is. 
ALLEN:  I don’t see Michele either.  I’m sure they’re on their way.
JOY:  You know…Vicky doesn’t really like me.
ALLEN:  Sorry to hear that. 
JOY:  But Steven loves me, and she’s just gonna have to accept it.
 
KC AND STEVEN WALK AWAY AS MARLEY WALKS IN WITH A STROLLER.  DONNA WALKS UP TO HER.

Donna Love

Marley Hudson Montgomery

 
DONNA:  Oh my God.  Marley!
 
MARLEY HUGS DONNA.
 
MARLEY:  Hi Donna.  It’s so good to see you.
 
DONNA BENDS DOWN TO SEE MARLEY’S BABY.
 
DONNA:  Oh look at my grandson.  He’s…
MARLEY:  Sleeping.  I wanna get him upstairs before he wakes up.
DONNA:  Okay it’s so good to see you both.
 
MARLEY LOOKS AROUND.
 
MARLEY:  I don’t see Victoria.  Where is she?
 
VICKY AND MICHELE WALK IN.

Vicky Hudson

Michele McKinnon

 
VICKY:  Right here.

CAMERA PAN ON VICKY.  SLOW FADE OUT.  END OF PART 1

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

PART 2
 
BRIANNA:  I’m sorry I…I love you so much Matt.
 
MATT GETS UP FROM THE BED AND WALKS AROUND IT.  HE SITS NEXT TO BRIANNA AND PLACES HIS LEFT HAND ON HER RIGHT HAND.
 
MATT:  Of course, and I love you, too, but why do we have to leave Bay City?   We can have a great life right here.
BRIANNA:  I’d rather go where nobody knows us.  We can start anew…together…you and me.
MATT:  But Brianna I still don’t understand why you feel the need for us to leave.
 
BRIANNA GETS UP AND TAKES THREE STEPS AWAY FROM MATT.
 
BRIANNA:  I get it.  It’s because of Rachel.
MATT: What does my mother have to do with this?
 
BRIANNA TURNS AROUND AND FACES MATT.
 
BRIANNA:  I don’t know if she told you but I came by the Corys looking for you and she pulled me in the living room to talk to her.
MATT:  What exactly did she say?
BRIANNA:  You know it was really nothing.  She just wants you to be happy.
MATT:  When it comes to my mom it’s not just nothing.
 
BRIANNA SITS DOWN NEXT TO MATT.
 
BRIANNA:  I shouldn’t have brought it up.  Your mother loves you and she just wants the best for you.
MATT:  She meddled in my brother’s love life.  I won’t let her do that with us.
BRIANNA:  Well then if…if that’s the case.  If we’re not here she can’t poke her nose into our relationship right?  I mean at least it would be harder.
MATT:  It would be. 
BRIANNA:  Look I’m sorry to spring this on you so suddenly.  If you need some time to think about it, I understand. 
MATT:  No I won’t need any time. 
BRIANNA:  What are you saying?
MATT:  There’s no need for us to wait.  I’ll do it.  Let’s blow this Bay City pop stand.
 

--------------------------------------------------------
 
FELICIA:  What do you mean it isn’t good?   You have leads on her don’t you?
DANTE:  This isn’t about where Christy is. 
MITCH:  Well then haul her in!
DANTE:  See that’s just it.  We can’t do that.
FELICIA:  You’re right.  This is not what I wanted to hear.
DEVIN:  What’s the problem?   She forced my grandmother to try and kill herself and you’re telling me that she can’t be held accountable?
DANTE:  We don’t have enough evidence. 
MITCH:  Come on that’s insane.
FELICIA:  And totally ridiculous.  I didn’t pick up any prescription for those pills.
DANTE:  But they were prescribed to you.
FELICIA:  How can you not get any description on Christy?  What about the pharmacy that they were picked up from?  They had to have recognized her!
DANTE:  We’ve already done that.  I had them retrieve all the records, and they said a dark haired woman wearing glasses and a black trenchcoat picked them up.
FELICIA:  WELL IT WASN’T ME!
MITCH:  There’s gotta be something else that you can use.
DANTE:  Mitch, if there was something else, I would have used it so I can get a warrant for her arrest, but I can’t.  It’s just not enough.
DEVIN:  So you’re saying Christy’s gonna get away with what she did?
DANTE:  Look we can’t just go around arresting people because someone said they committed a crime against them.  We have to have evidence.  I’m sorry. 
FELICIA:  Who prescribed the Flurazepam?
DANTE:  John Hudson.
 
FELICIA WIDENS HER EYES WITH SURPRISE.
 
 --------------------------------------------------------------

JOHN HUDSON IS IN HIS OFFICE AT THE HOSPITAL.  HE PACES BACK AND FORTH AS THOMASINA KNOCKS ON THE AJAR DOOR.

Thomasina Mason

 
THOMASINA:  May I come in?
JOHN:  Sure.
 
THOMASINA SHUTS THE DOOR.
 
JOHN:  Any word from the board?
THOMASINA:  Yes as a matter of fact there is.
JOHN:  Well?
THOMASINA:  I persuaded them to postpone your hearing.
JOHN:  That’s…that’s a relief.
THOMASINA:  It doesn’t mean that you’re out of the woods yet but it does buy you some time.
JOHN:  To find out who authorized it.
THOMASINA:  It looks bad John but I know you wouldn’t have written that prescription without Primary Care physician approval. 
JOHN:  So we gotta find out who broke into my system.
 
JOHN GETS A PHONE CALL ON HIS CELL PHONE.
 
JOHN:  Felicia?...Now?...Alright okay I’ll be right there.
THOMASINA:  Was that Felicia Blake?
JOHN:  Yeah.  She wants to meet with me.
THOMASINA:  Well go ahead.   You don’t need to be here now.
JOHN:  Thank you.
THOMASINA:  My pleasure.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------
 
VICKY:  Hey sis when did you get in town?
MARLEY:  Not too long ago.  Michele hi.
MICHELE:  Hi Aunt Marley.
VICKY:  Where’s my nephew?
MARLEY:  He’s upstairs sleeping.
VICKY:  Well I’m gonna go see him.
MARLEY:  Don’t wake him up.
VICKY:  Of course.
 
VICKY GOES UPSTAIRS AS DONNA, MARLEY AND MICHELE ENTER THE LIVING ROOM.  BRIDGET GOES UP TO MARLEY.

Bridget McKinnon

 
BRIDGET:  Aunt Marley!  Oh my God you came all the way for my party.
MARLEY:  I wouldn’t miss it for the world.
 
THEY HUG, AND BRIDGET TURNS TO MICHELE.
 
BRIDGET:  Hey sis.
MICHELE:  Hi.  Looks like we’re about to get started.
BRIDGET:  You would be right.
 
DONNA WALKS TO THE HEAD OF THE TABLE.
 
DONNA:  May I have everyone’s attention please?  Thank you all for coming.  Our family has been through so much over the past few months, and I thought it would be a good idea to throw a welcome home celebration for Bridget, who as you know has been in the hospital.  This can be a new beginning for us.  Too bad Michael couldn’t make it but there’s the rest of us.  Bridget welcome home, and all of you welcome to her homecoming party.  Bridget do you have anything to say?
BRIDGET:  Not yet grandma but…Steven does.  Steven take it away.
STEVEN:  I’m very happy to be here with my family, and the woman I love.
 
STEVEN WALKS UP TO JOY AS THE FAMILY LOOKS ON.  HE GENTLY TAKES JOY’S LEFT HAND INTO HIS.
 
STEVEN:  From the first day I met you, I knew you were someone I could fall in love with.  No matter how hard you resisted, I somehow knew that you would eventually feel the same way about me.  I’ve never loved anyone as I much as I love you.
 
STEVEN TAKES OUT A BOX AND OPENS IT.  JOY GASPS.
 
JOY:  Oh my God. 
 
STEVEN KNEELS ON ONE KNEE AND LOOKS UP AT JOY.  STEVEN TAKES OUT THE RING AND PLACES ON JOY’S LEFT RING FINGER AS VICKY WALKS IN.
 
STEVEN:  Joy Kramer, the love of my life, will you marry me?
 
JOY PLACES HER RIGHT HAND OVER HER MOUTH IN AMAZEMENT, AND LETS IT DOWN.
 
JOY:  Steven I…I do.  Yes I’ll marry you!
VICKY:  NO!

PREVIOUSLY ON ANOTHER WORLD
 
·         Lily Mason returned to Bay City and earned the forgiveness of her daughter, Joy Kramer.  Lily also disclosed that she has cancer
·         Matt and Brianna entered into a relationship.  Brianna came to Bay City with the intention of exacting revenge for her mother (Taylor Benson).  Taylor’s deathbed wish was for Brianna to “finish” Sharlene Hudson.  People do not know that Brianna is Taylor’s daughter
·         Carl gave Grant a DNA test result before Carl died.  Carl lamented that it shows that Grant has another son besides Kirkland,  but it does not detail who the DNA test match is for.  Grant did not believe Carl at first, thinking it was one of Carl’s games, but Carl was right, Grant does have another son, and he has been searching for him since.
 
AT THOMASINA’S HOUSE, LILY WALKS INTO THE LIVING ROOM WITH A BLANKET AND LIES DOWN ON THE COUCH, WHILE THOMASINA BRINGS HER A CUP OF TEA.
 

Lily Mason

THOMASINA:  How are you feeling?
LILY:  I’m feeling good.  Never better actually. 
THOMASINA:  I made an appointment for you to see an oncologist at the hospital tomorrow.

Thomasina Mason

LILY:  You didn’t have to do that.
THOMASINA:  I know.  I was thinking maybe you should start your treatments here.  At least you’ll have family around.  That support is very important.
LILY:  Niece I got all the support I need.
THOMASINA:  What do you mean exactly? 
LILY:  Joy...decided to forgive me.
THOMASINA:  Wow really?  That’s fantastic.  I know that’s a weight lifted off your shoulders.
LILY:  She’s going to that party right?
THOMASINA:  That Donna Love is throwing?   Yeah she is.
LILY:  I really want her to be happy…to live better than I did.  Her forgiveness though, it gives me a lot of peace.
 
THOMASINA NODS HER HEAD AND SMILES.
 
THOMASINA:  I’m headed to the hospital to finish up some work.  Do you want anything on my way back?
 
LILY LOOKS AT THOMASINA AND SMILES.
 
LILY:  No.  No thank you.
 
THOMASINA GOES AND SITS NEXT TO LILY ON THE COUCH, AND HUGS HER TIGHTLY.
 
THOMASINA:  I love you Aunty.
LILY:  I love you, too.
 
THOMASINA LEAVES AS LILY SMILES AND LIES ON THE COUCH.  SHE DRAPES THE BLANKET OVER HER BODY AND CLOSES HER EYES.

BRIANNA TAKES THE BLINDFOLD OFF AND SMILES.
 
BRIANNA:  Oh my God.
 
BRIANNA SEES A BED COVERED WITH ROSE PETALS AND RED HEART SHAPED“I LOVE YOU” BALLOONS.

Charlie Harrison

Frankie Frame

FRANKIE:  This should help you feel a little better.
CHARLIE:  Can I take something?
FRANKIE:  Nooooo.
CHARLIE:  I know mom I’m just…
FRANKIE:  I know the feeling honey.  I was the same way when I was pregnant with you.
CHARLIE:  When will my stomach stop turning?
FRANKIE:  I called Kirkland.  He’s on his way back home.
CHARLIE:  Why mom?
FRANKIE:  He’s your husband.
CHARLIE:  I wanted him to enjoy his family.  I didn’t want him to miss Bridget’s homecoming. Besides, I’m in good hands with you.
FRANKIE:  Yes dear, but he wants to be here.  
CHARLIE:  Do you have something else to do?
FRANKIE:  There’s no place I’d rather be than with my only child.
CHARLIE:  I thought you’d want to rush home to dad.
FRANKIE:  Your dad and I will have plenty of time.  You just hang in there. 
CHARLIE:  I thought it was supposed to be morning sickness, not evening sickness.
 
KIRKLAND WALKS IN.
 

Kirkland Harrison

KIRKLAND:  Hey is everything alright?
CHARLIE:  My stomach is spinning.
KIRKLAND:  Anything we should be concerned about?

PART 2
 
AT THE HOSPITAL, THOMASINA IS IN HER OFFICE WHEN RUSS MATTHEWS WALKS IN.

Russ Matthews

THOMASINA:  Dr. Matthews hi.
RUSS:  Dr. Mason. 
THOMASINA:  Burning the midnight oil huh?
RUSS:  You know I have to make sure that my patients are taken care of.
THOMASINA:  I know.  You are very well respected, and deservedly so.
RUSS:  I appreciate that.  This hospital is always gonna have a place in my heart. 
THOMASINA:  It’ll be that way for me, too.
RUSS:  Have you checked your email?
THOMASINA:  Not since I left earlier.  Is there something I should be aware of?
RUSS:  Yeah.
 
THOMASINA SITS DOWN, TURNS ON HER COMPUTER, AND LOOKS AT HER EMAIL.
 
THOMASINA:  No.  I…I can’t accept that.
RUSS:  I wasn’t asking permission.
THOMASINA:  But, we were really just getting along.  I don’t know what we’re gonna do without you.
RUSS:  You’re gonna do just fine. 
THOMASINA:  But Seattle though?
RUSS:  It was out of the blue almost, but it’s a great opportunity for me though.
THOMASINA:  If I were you I…wouldn’t pass it up either. 
RUSS:  We’ll both be the Chief of Staff of our hospitals.
THOMASINA:  Well at least you’ll be here until I find someone to replace you, although that’s not gonna be easy. 
RUSS:  I also emailed you my patient files.  They want me to start in two days, so I’m leaving Bay City tonight.
THOMASINA:  That settles it huh?
RUSS:  I’m gonna miss this place.
 
THOMASINA GETS UP AND WALKS UP TO RUSS.
 
THOMASINA:  I guess this is goodbye…and good luck.
 
 -------------------------------------------------

AT THE HOTEL ROOM, MATT AND BRIANNA ARE LYING IN BED TOGETHER.  BRIANNA LIES ON MATT’S BARE CHEST.
 
MATT:  Making love to you never gets old.
BRIANNA:  Hmm I wonder.
MATT:  I know you’re not doubting your skills are you?  Or mine?
BRIANNA:  Oh absolutely not.  I’m just thinking.
MATT:  About what?  What’s going on in your pretty little head?
BRIANNA:  Will you feel the same way about our lovemaking when WE get old?
MATT:  Why wouldn’t I?
BRIANNA:  What about when I’m going through…oooh I don’t wanna even say it.
MATT:  I think I know where you’re going with this.  You’re talking about cramps, hot flashes, irritability?
BRIANNA:  You’ve done your research.
MATT:  You think menopause is gonna stop me from loving you?
BRIANNA:  I dunno.  Sometimes we women think about that.  I don’t want to lose you.
 
MATT SITS UP AS BRIANNA DOES THE SAME.
 
MATT:  Brianna where is this coming from?
BRIANNA:  Matthew I…I wanna spend the rest of my life with you.  I haven’t found a love like this…ever.  I don’t want to lose you.
MATT:  Stop talking like this.  You’re not gonna lose me. 
 
BRIANNA GETS OUT OF THE BED, PUTS HER ROBE ON AND TAKES TWO STEPS AWAY FROM THE BED.
 
MATT:  Brianna.  What’s wrong?
BRIANNA:  I don’t quite know how I want to say what I want to say.
MATT:  Just…say it?
 
BRIANNA TURNS AROUND AND FACES MATT.
 
BRIANNA:  I wanna leave…with you.
MATT:  Why?
BRIANNA:  Don’t you get it?  I want to leave town…with you.
MATT:  That sounds good.  I’d love to get away for a while.
BRIANNA:  No.  I’m talking about for good.  Let’s leave Bay City together.
MATT:  Babe you know I can’t do that.

AT THE WINTHROPS, FRANKIE WALKS IN AND SEES CASS ON THE COUCH.
 

Cass Winthrop

CASS:  Hey there good lookin’.
FRANKIE:  You’re still quite the charmer.
CASS:  How’s Charlie?
FRANKIE:  She’s…pregnant.
CASS:  I gathered that.
FRANKIE:  Going through pregnant people things.  She’s gonna be fine.  Kirkland’s with her.
CASS:  So let me guess what’s happening.  She’s got massive stomach aches and she can’t  hold anything down.
FRANKIE:  How did you know?
CASS:  I know a thing or two about nursing a pregnant wife. 
FRANKIE:  Hmm I wonder how.
CASS:  You got acquainted with the bathroom when you were pregnant with Charlie.
FRANKIE:  And Charlie is now.
CASS:  I have to say I’m a little concerned.
FRANKIE:  Vomiting is not a cause for alarm when you’re pregnant.
CASS:  No.  It’s the stress.
FRANKIE:  Did she talk to you about the lawsuit?
CASS:  Oh we’re way past conversations.
FRANKIE:  Did she decide what she was gonna do?
CASS:  She gave me the green light. 
FRANKIE:  Wow. 
CASS:  She wasn’t sure at first but when she told me to do it she was very decisive.
FRANKIE:  How do YOU feel about it?  This would be the second time you’ve filed a civil suit against the hospital.
CASS:  I’ll get to work on obtaining the facts.
FRANKIE:  I’ll be supporting you again like I did last time.
 
CASS AND FRANKIE HUG, AND FRANKIE HEARS THOSE FAINT CHANTS AND A GUNSHOT, AND PULLS AWAY.
 
CASS:  What’s wrong? 
 
FRANKIE HESITATES AND SMILES.
 
FRANKIE:  It’s nothing.  I just got a little chill.

-----------------------------------------------
 
 
KIRKLAND IS ON HIS CELL PHONE AS CHARLIE LIES ON THE BED.  KIRKLAND IS SITTING ON A NEARBY CHAIR.
 
KIRKLAND:  Yeah she’s fine.  She’s sleeping.  Just a little sick.  I wish I could be there.  You guys have fun, and behave yourself mom.
 
KIRKLAND SMILES, ENDS THE CALL, AND GETS A TEXT FROM AN “UNKNOWN” NUMBER.  The text reads:  I WILL NEVER FORGET.
 

------------------------------------------------
 
GRANT WALKS INTO SPENCER’S ROOM.  SPENCER LIES ON THE BED AS GRANT PULLS UP A CHAIR AND SITS NEXT TO THE BED.
 
GRANT:  So is this how it ends dad?  I wonder just how hard you tried to hold on before you took your last breath?  I didn’t even know you were sick.  It’s…in accordance with how you raised me right?  Be tough; do whatever it takes to win.  Tell people what you think they need to know.  It’s not about what’s true, it’s about what’s believed.  Get most of what you want out of every deal, and when you see a weakness, you attack.  That’s how you become a successful politician, but you know what?   After trying to apply all of your principles, I never got custody of my son, and I missed a lot of his life.   I lost Cynthia and I never got Victoria back, and I wish I could go back and do it over; get a second chance.  I want to do better by my son, than you did by me.   I owe you a great deal of responsibility…for the man I’ve become.  Good bye dad.
 
GRANT GETS UP, AND WALKS OUT OF THE ROOM.
 

------------------------------------------------------------
 
OUTSIDE OF THE ROOM, KELSEY WALKS UP TO GRANT.
 
KELSEY:  How are you feeling?
GRANT:  I’m not too sure.  Dad and I have always had a…contentious relationship.  Do you know how long he had been like that?
KELSEY:  For…a few weeks.  He didn’t want me to tell you or Kirkland until about a couple of hours ago.
GRANT (purses lips):  Of course he didn’t.  Good old Spencer Harrison.
KELSEY:  However there’s something that he DID want you to know.
 
KELSEY TAKES AN ENVELOPE OUT OF HER LAB COAT AND GIVES TO GRANT.
 
KELSEY:  It’s in here apparently.  He insisted that it not be opened until you got here.
 
GRANT LOOKS AT KELSEY AND OPENS THE ENVELOPE.  HE TAKES OUT A PIECE OF PAPER AND READS IT.
 
GRANT:  I..I don’t understand this. 
KELSEY:  Let me see it.
 
KELSEY SKIMS IT OVER AND LOOKS UP AT GRANT.
GRANT:  Well what is it?
KELSEY:  This is a semen analysis.
GRANT:  Why would dad want to leave me something like that?
KELSEY:  I don’t know whose test this is, but from what I can see, this patient is not able to reproduce.
GRANT:  So dad left me a sperm test of a man who’s sterile? 
KELSEY:  A test that was taken at Bay City Medical Center recently.
 
KELSEY POINTS AT THE “BCMC” LETTERING AND THE DATE IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER OF THE DOCUMENT.
 
GRANT:  It’s not mine because I haven’t had one of these tests, but whoever’s test this is…lives in Bay City.  Wait a second.  Carl Hutchins gave me a copy of a DNA test before he died.  It said that I was a match for my son, but it didn’t say for whom?
KELSEY:  Are you saying it’s somehow connected to this sperm count test?
GRANT:  Carl said he kept my son from me.  I thought it was his last mind game that he wanted to play on me, but I’m starting to think he was telling the truth.
KELSEY:  So Carl and Spencer thought that you had another son besides Kirkland?  That doesn’t make any sense.  Who else could it be?
GRANT:  I don’t know Kelsey, but if I find out whose sperm test this belongs to, I will find my son.
