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: I gotta ask her.
PAULINA: And you SHOULD find out the truth, but not tonight. Are you ready?
JAKE: Let’s go.

| Joy Kramer |
 |
| Steven Frame |
STEVEN: Joy Kramer, the love of my life, will you marry me?
VICKY: NO!
 |
| Vicky Hudson |
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.
PAULINA: Vicky what the hell is going on?
VICKY: My son is about to make the biggest mistake of his life!

VICKY: You don’t understand…
MARLEY: Victoria let’s…go and talk about this okay?
MEANWHILE, IN THE LIVING ROOM, KC TURNS TO ALLEN.

| KC Burrell |
 |
| Allen Love |
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?

| Bridget McKinnon |
 |
| Michele McKinnon |
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 Hutchins |
BRIDGET: Hi. You missed the fireworks.
CORY: I really appreciate you asking me to come.
CORY: What’s going on here? I saw your mom, your Aunt and your grandmother.
BRIDGET: Guess they’re having a pow wow.
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.
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?
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.
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: 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: 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: 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: That’s an understatement.
BRIDGET: Yeah sis. Total recall.
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.
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.
BRIDGET: Did you really think you were gonna get away with it?
JAKE: I can’t watch this anymore.
PAULINA: Michele is your daughter.
VICKY: Do what?
BRIDGET: And my test was negative.
DONNA: Michele? Is this true?
BRIDGET: You can take her side all you want mom, but the truth is the truth. Michele switched my tests, didn’t you?
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?
