PREVIOUSLY ON ANOTHER WORLD
  • Maggie remembered that Brianna kidnapped her on the night of Carl Hutchins party at the Corys.  Brianna locked Maggie in the hospital freezer to keep her quiet about it.  Maggie was in a coma as a result.  She woke up, but has only told Rafael.  Nobody else knows.
  • Cory broke up with Bridget thinking she cheated on him after her OB tests showed she had chlamydia.  After learning that Bridget did not have chlamydia (her tests were switched by Michele), Cory wanted to get back together with.  Bridget said no. 
  • Gregory developed an addiction to opioids after reaggravating a previous back injury in a car accident.  He stole Sharlene's credit card to buy it off of a black market website called Satin Avenue.  When Sharlene learned of the charges, she had them reversed, putting Gregory in debt.  Gregory persuaded Elizabeth to lend him 500 dollars to pay the drug dealer back.  Brianna, who is helping to run drugs in Bay City, ordered Gregory to be beaten.  Elizabeth found him bloodied in the park.

RAFAEL:  Well it’s not like you haven’t been getting up walking around.
MAGGIE:  Have you talked to our son?
RAFAEL:  I tried reaching out to him.

Cory Hutchins


 
(EPISODE 310)
 
CORY:  What do you mean?
BRIDGET:  You’re not stupid.  Or I think you’re just playing stupid.
CORY:  I…I understand if you don’t…want to take me back right now.
BRIDGET:  There is no right now, and there won’t be a later.  I’m not getting back together with you, not now…not ever.
CORY:  Okay you’re just upset…
BRIDGET:  YOU didn’t trust me.  I told you over and over that I hadn’t slept with anyone else, and you didn’t believe me.
CORY:  I didn’t know what to believe.
BRIDGET:  You should have believed me.  You should have trusted that I loved you; that I would never have betrayed you.
CORY:  Bridget what did you want me to think?   The tests you showed that you had chlamydia.
BRIDGET:  But I NEVER had it.  You were supposed to stand by me!
CORY:  I told you I made a mistake!  Please Bridget.  Don’t tell me this is over.
BRIDGET:  YOU were the one who said it was over.  I’m just keeping the status quo.
CORY SHAKES HIS HEAD.
CORY:  No.
BRIDGET:  I need you to leave.
CORY gets up, steps back.
CORY:  Bridget.
BRIDGET:  GO!
CORY turns around slowly, and leaves.

Antonio Santierro


ANTONIO:  I’m working on it.
MAN:  We’re no closer to getting what we need.  Time is running out.  We need you to come through for us. 
ANTONIO:  You gotta give me more time but it’s not easy.
MAN:  Nothing worth having is.  I’ll let you determine what’s important to you.   Your mom; your father; your grandparents.
ANTONIO:  Please don’t hurt them.
MAN:  Give us what we need and we won’t have to take…more drastic measures to get you to do what we want. 
 
THE MAN LEAVES AND ANTONIO TAKES A DEEP BREATH TO RELIEVE STRESS.  HE THEN HEARS RUSTLING IN THE BUSHES.

BRIDGET:  I didn’t see anything.
ANTONIO:  Don’t lie.  I heard you in the bushes.
BRIDGET:  What’s the big deal?  You were talking to some guy.
ANTONIO:  And you can’t say a word about it.
BRIDGET:  I don’t know what it is you’re doing.  I don’t WANT to know.  I just want to continue my walk through the park.

SHARLENE:  Can I see him?

ELIZABETH TRIES TO GO WITH SHARLENE.
 
THOMASINA:  One visitor at a time.

SHARLENE:  Of course I will.

GREGORY:  Mom.
SHARLENE:  I’m right here baby.  I’m not going anywhere. 
GREGORY:  I’m so…I’m…sorry.
SHARLENE:  You have nothing to apologize for.

LINDSAY:  Oh I’m sorry I didn’t mean to keep you, but I have to tell you something.  I found your credit card on my living room floor earlier.
SHARLENE:  What?  Why would it be there?
LINDSAY:  I don’t know.  Did you let Gregory borrow it?
SHARLENE:  No.  I reported it stolen so it’s pretty much no good now.  I’m getting a new one.
LINDSAY:  Are you sure?   Maybe you gave it to him when he stayed over at your house last week.
SHARLENE:  Stayed over? 
LINDSAY:  He didn’t come home one night.  He called and told me that he was spending the night at the farm.
 
SHARLENE FLASHES BACK TO THE PRESENT.
 
SHARLENE:  Whatever it is you think you did is not that serious.  Just rest baby.  I love you.
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------

MAGGIE:  Did you know Brianna was in here? 
RAFAEL:  Did she try to hurt you?
MAGGIE:  No.  The bitch was bragging about how she’s won, and she’s gonna leave town with Matt.
RAFAEL:  That might be a good thing. 
MAGGIE:  A good thing?  How can you say that?  It’s the worst thing ever!
RAFAEL:  Matt can make his own choices.
MAGGIE:  I bet he doesn’t know that she spiked my coffee with synthetic opioids, locked me in a freezer, and left me to die.
RAFAEL:  That can be a problem.
MAGGIE:  You’re damned right it’s a problem, and it’s one I’m going to solve.
RAFAEL:  That doesn’t sound too good.  Just what do you plan on doing to Brianna?
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
BRIANNA:  I love Matt.  That’s not a lie.
RACHEL:  Does he know that you’re Taylor Benson’s daughter?
BRIANNA:  I can explain all of that.
RACHEL:  Are you back in Bay City to avenge her death?
BRIANNA:  Listen I don’t know where you’re getting this information…
RACHEL:  Cut it out!  I know everything I need to know.  I knew something about you was off.
BRIANNA:  Excuse me?
RACHEL:  You’re no good for Matthew at all.  You’ve been lying to him for months, and I don’t want him to be hurt by someone like you, so you’re gonna break up with him and leave Bay City…tonight.
BRIANNA:  Who the hell do you think you are?
RACHEL:  I’m his mother, and I will do anything to protect my family.

CORY HAS A FLASHBACK
 
EPISODE 311
 
ANTONIO TURNS AROUND AND NOTICES CORY.
CORY:  Oh I’m sorry.  I didn’t mean to interrupt.
ANTONIO:  No problem I was finished.  Wow you…you look like you just lost your best friend.
CORY:  If my girlfriend counts as my best friend then…yeah I lost her.  Say a prayer for me huh?
ANTONIO:  Sorry about that dude. 
CORY:  I messed up badly. 
ANTONIO:  So I guess you’re…gonna pray for another chance with her? 
CORY NODS HIS HEAD.
CORY:  Something like that.
ANTONIO:  Well good luck.
CORY:  Thanks man.
 
CORY FLASHES BACK TO THE PRESENT.
 
ANTONIO:  I’m just leaving.
CORY:  Maybe you should.
BRIDGET:  Don’t go anywhere yet. 
 
BRIDGET TURNS TOWARD CORY.
 
BRIDGET:  The only one who needs to get lost is you.
CORY:  What are you talking about?  You guys were arguing about something.
BRIDGET:  And it’s none of your business, and I’m fine.  Now leave.
CORY:  Bridget…
BRIDGET:  I don’t need you Cory, now GO!
 
CORY LEAVES AND ANTONIO IS STUNNED.  HE TURNS TO BRIDGET.
 
ANTONIO:  You totally covered for me.  Why?  That’s…that’s your ex-boyfriend isn’t it?  Are you trying to make him jealous or something?
 
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
BRIANNA:  Matthew is not a teen ager.  He’s a grown man.  He doesn’t need his MOMMY to  make his decisions for him!
RACHEL:  I beg your pardon?
BRIANNA:  Oh he told me all about it.  You do it to all of your children.  Meddling in their relationships, but you’re gonna stay the hell out of this one!
RACHEL:  Perhaps I haven’t made myself clear.  You are going to leave town without my son.
BRIANNA:  I’m gonna tell him what you told me.  That’s not gonna go over well with Matt.
RACHEL:  If you want to leave Bay City alive, break up with Matthew.
BRIANNA:  Is that a threat?
 
IRIS WALKS UP TO THEM.
 
IRIS:  That’s what I’d like to know.
 
RACHEL CONTINUES TO STARE AT BRIANNA.
 
RACHEL:  You stay out of this Iris!  This has nothing to do with you!
IRIS:  Rachel the bully, going around town flexing her muscle.  Who the hell do you think you are?  I just heard you threaten this woman.
RACHEL:  It’s a promise, and I won’t break it.
 
RACHEL LEAVES.
 
IRIS:  Should I call the police?
BRIANNA:  You know not even Rachel the wicked witch could spoil my happiness.
IRIS:  Did I hear her say that you’re Taylor Benson’s daughter?
BRIANNA:  You heard right, and you’re the woman who fired my mother from the hospital.
IRIS:  That wasn’t my call. 
BRIANNA:  But you didn’t exactly do anything to stop it did you?  She was devastated after that.  She was never the same.
IRIS:  I was in her corner.  She had my support.
BRIANNA:  It’s all water under the bridge now, right?  I’m leaving town, and if I never see Bay City again, it would be way too soon.
 
FREEZE FRAME ON BRIANNA.  SLOW FADE OUT.  END OF 339
