FRANKIE:  We’ve got some good news for a change.  So did you tell the police who locked you in the freezer?
MAGGIE:  It was Brianna.
FRANKIE:  What?  Why? 
MAGGIE:  I remembered that she kidnapped me the night of Carl’s party.
FRANKIE:  It was Christy Carson.  She and Brianna were working together.
MAGGIE:  Christy?  You mean that awful woman who tried to poison my dad?
FRANKIE:  Yes. 
 
MAGGIE LEANS OVER TO GET HER PHONE AND DROPS IT ON THE FLOOR.  FRANKIE PICKS IT UP AND NOTICES.
 
MAGGIE:  Come on give me my phone.
 
MAGGIE SITS UP AND REACHES, BUT FRANKIE PULLS BACK AS SHE SCROLLS.
 
FRANKIE:  All these texts. 
MAGGIE:  Rafael was using my phone.
FRANKIE:  No Maggie.  YOU were the one texting.  You woke up long before today didn’t you?
MAGGIE:  My gosh you come up with the wildest stories.  You should have been an author.
 
FRANKIE GIVES MAGGIE BACK HER PHONE.
 
FRANKIE:  Why didn’t you tell anyone earlier?  
 
CASS WALKS IN WITH RAFAEL.
 
CASS:  Cecile is still locked down on the island, and Charlie was tired.
MAGGIE:  I’m going to be an aunt.  I’ll visit her as soon as I can.
RAFAEL:  You’re awake?  That’s great news!
 
FRANKIE LOOKS AT RAFAEL SUSPICIOUSLY.
 
RAFAEL:  Did you call Rachel?
MAGGIE:  I sent a text.  She should be on her way.
 
-------------------------------------------
AT THE CORYS, RACHEL IS IN THE LIVING ROOM ON HER LAPTOP SITTING AT THE DESK ON HER CELL PHONE.
 
RACHEL:  My lawyers have approved the contract.  Everything looks good.  I’ll sign and email it back to you.
 
RACHEL SEES THE TEXT FROM MAGGIE AS ELIZABETH WALKS IN AFTER RACHEL ENDS HER CALL.
 
RACHEL:  Maggie woke up.  I’m going to the hospital to see her.
ELIZABETH:  That’s…that’s great news.
RACHEL:  But before I leave, I have to ask you about something.
ELIZABETH:  What is it?
 
RACHEL CLOSES THE LAPTOP AND GETS UP.
 
RACHEL:  I was looking at your trust fund statement.
ELIZABETH:  Did you?  What did you see?
RACHEL: I noticed a five-hundred-dollar withdrawal.
ELIZABETH:  Okay?
RACHEL:  Care to explain what it was for?
 
ELIZABETH FLASHES BACK
(EPISODE 336)
 
AT THE CORY CARRIAGE HOUSE, ELIZABETH AND GREGORY WALK IN THE LIVING ROOM.  ELIZABETH GIVES GREGORY AN ENVELOPE.
 
ELIZABETH (sighs):  This should do it.
GREGORY:  Thank you.  You don’t know how much this means to me.
ELIZABETH:  I do.
GREGORY:  Lizzie I…I don’t know what I’d do without you.
ELIZABETH:  Let’s hope you never have to find out.
GREGORY:  I don’t deserve your friendship.  I’m just a no good drug fiend.
ELIZABETH:  Don’t say that.  I know deep down you’re a great guy.  You just need to…get some help.
 
THEY SLOWLY MOVE CLOSER AND SHARE A PASSIONATE KISS, THEN THEY PULL AWAY.
 
ELIZABETH:  I..uh…did some shopping.

---------------------------------------
 
AT THE FARM, SHARLENE AND JOHN ARE IN THE LIVING ROOM.
 
JOHN:  Gone?  What do you mean gone?
SHARLENE:  I looked in my purse and it wasn’t there.
JOHN:  Why were you carrying it around in the first place?  You were planning on using it to hurt Brianna weren’t you?
SHARLENE:  I can’t believe you would accuse me of something like that! 
JOHN:  You’ve been following her around for weeks after we suspected that she was connected to Taylor after we warned you not to.
SHARLENE:  She hurt our son!  She had to pay for that!
JOHN:  I’m getting concerned.
SHARLENE:  About what?
JOHN:  Did you do something to Brianna?

--------------------------------
 
MEANWHILE, TWO POLICE OFFICERS AND DANTE CARLINO APPROACH BRIANNA JAMESON’S APARTMENT WITH THEIR GUNS DRAWN.   DANTE BANGS ON THE DOOR.
 
DANTE:  BRIANNA OPEN THE DOOR!  BAY CITY POLICE! 
 
HE BANGS AGAIN THREE TIMES.
 
DANTE:  OPEN THE DOOR!  WE WANNA TALK TO YOU! 
 
HE BANGS AGAIN THREE MORE TIMES.
 
DANTE: We’re goin’ in.
 
DANTE STEPS BACK AND KICKS THE DOOR IN.
 
DANTE:  Whoa.
 
THEY SEE BRIANNA’S BODY LYING ON THE FLOOR.  DANTE RUNS IN AND CHECKS BRIANNA’S BODY FOR A PULSE.
 
DANTE:  Call the C.S.I. team.   She’s gone.

PART 2
 

RACHEL:  What did you buy?

ELIZABETH:  Just some clothes; jewelry.  I saw an outfit online and I just had to have it.
RACHEL:  Oh can I see it?
ELIZABETH:  I’m getting it altered.  I’ll show you as soon as it arrives.  I gotta go.
 
ELIZABETH TRIES TO WALK AWAY.

RACHEL:  Come on Elizabeth.  Surely you can think of a better lie than that.

ELIZABETH STOPS AND TURNS AROUND TO FACE HER MOTHER.

RACHEL:  You’ve withdrawn five hundred dollars and you can’t tell me what you spent it on?ELIZABETH:  Isn’t it my trust fund?

RACHEL:  I’m the executor of your trust fund.  It’s my responsibility to make sure you don’t squander it.
ELIZABETH:  You don’t trust me do you?
RACHEL:  It’s not about that.  You’re still young, and I have to make sure that your money is safe and secure.
ELIZABETH:  It’s really a shame that I can’t withdraw money that belongs to ME, AND I have to explain it to you.
RACHEL:  You still haven’t told me why you took five hundred dollars from your trust fund.
ELIZABETH:  It’s my money.  I don’t have to answer to you about it.
RACHEL:  You keep forgetting that I’m in control of it, and since you won’t tell me what you spent it on, I will lower your weekly withdrawal limit.
ELIZABETH:  Okay.
RACHEL:  To seventy five dollars.
ELIZABETH: Seventy-five dollars!  What am I supposed to do with that?
RACHEL:  Do what most people do; get a job.
ELIZABETH:  Well um…can you put me on the payroll at BayCorp?
RACHEL:  Of course I can.
ELIZABETH:  Good.
RACHEL:  And the first twenty five thousand dollars you earn will go directly to your trust fund.
ELIZABETH:  Mom!  That could take forever to pay back!

DEVIN WALKS IN.


RACHEL:  Well you can go on your tablet and apply for employment at other places.
DEVIN:  Hey Rachel.  Lizzie.

ELIZABETH SIGHS IN DISGUST.

DEVIN:  What did I walk in on?

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


RAFAEL:  That’s fantastic.
MAGGIE:  What did I miss while I was in my slumber?
RAFAEL:  Um…Antonio’s in town.
MAGGIE:  I thought he was living with your parents.
RAFAEL:  He was until he came here. 
MAGGIE:  Where is he?  I wanna see him.
CASS:  My grandson’s here?
 
ANTONIO WALKS IN.
 
ANTONIO:  Here I am.  Hello gramps!
CASS:  Don’t call me that.  Makes me feel old.
 
THEY HUG.
 
ANTONIO:  Well ya…kinda are.
CASS:  Don’t remind me.  You know Frankie right?  My fiancĂ©e.
ANTONIO:  Mom told me all about you.  So did Grandma CeCe.
CASS:  Grandma CeCe?  You’re coming up with interesting names.
ANTONIO:  Should I call you grandpa Ca—
CASS, FRANKIE, MAGGIE and RAFAEL (at the same time):  NO!
 
DR. RAINES WALKS IN.
 
CASS:  Dr. Raines hi. 
DR. RAINES:  We’ve just been informed of a development.  About a former employee.
MAGGIE:  About Brianna?
 
  ---------------------------------------- 
AT THE FARM, SHARLENE AND JOHN ARE IN THE LIVING ROOM.
 
JOHN:  Gone?  What do you mean gone?
SHARLENE:  I looked in my purse and it wasn’t there.
JOHN:  Why were you carrying it around in the first place?  You were planning on using it to hurt Brianna weren’t you?
SHARLENE:  I can’t believe you would accuse me of something like that! 
JOHN:  You’ve been following her around for weeks after we suspected that she was connected to Taylor after we warned you not to.
SHARLENE:  She hurt our son!  She had to pay for that!
JOHN:  I’m getting concerned.
SHARLENE:  About what?
JOHN:  Did you do something to Brianna?
SHARLENE:  I honestly don’t know John. 
JOHN:  Are you telling me that you can’t remember where you’ve been the past couple of hours?  This isn’t good.
SHARLENE:  I don’t know what you want me to say!  All I know is that my gun is missing, and I don’t know how it even occurred!  It’s just like the other times.  I couldn’t remember where I was or how I got there?  Chunks of time seemed to be missing.
JOHN:  Sharlene, if your gun was used to hurt someone, and you can’t account for your whereabouts, you could be in big trouble. 
 
END OF PART 2
 
-------------------

CONCLUSION

ELIZABETH:  Mom you can’t do this.
RACHEL:  Until you show me that you can be responsible, your limit will stay at seventy five dollars a week.

RACHEL GOES UPSTAIRS.

DEVIN:  What’s going on?

ELIZABETH:  Mom is making me get a job.  She doesn’t trust me.
DEVIN:  Work at BayCorp.
ELIZABETH:  If I work there mom is going to make me pay back what I took from my trust fund.
DEVIN:  Well?  I do need an assistant during the day.
ELIZABETH:  Thanks Dev, but I don’t think my mom’s gonna be on board with me working at Club Freedom.
DEVIN:  The place would be closed during your shift.  I could talk to your mom.
RACHEL:  I won’t need any convincing.  I think it’s a wonderful idea.  

 
DANA KRAMER WALKS UP TO THEM.
 
DANA:  Hi ladies.
TONI:  Dana.
THOMASINA:  Dana what is it?
DANA:  Can we talk in your office?
THOMASINA:  Um…yeah sure.  Let’s go.
 
DANA AND THOMASINA WALK AWAY AS DALTON WALKS UP TO TONI.
 
DALTON:  I’m gonna have tests run, but I bet the same drugs that were found in Gregory’s system are the same that’s being sold on the streets, and through Satin Avenue.
TONI:  That’s great.  You can use the station.  But one thing I need to tell you, don’t criticize any of my staff on how to do their duties, that’s my job, and Dante is an excellent detective.
DALTON:  I don’t doubt that.  I apologize if I was out of line.
TONI:  You WERE out of line.
DALTON:  It will never happen again.  I’ll get to work on those tests.
 
TONI GETS A PHONE CALL.
 
TONI:  Burrell…I’ll be right there.  Agent Chapin you can come.
DALTON:  What is it?
TONI:  You’ll see when you get there.
 
---------------------------------------
 
IN THOMASINA’S OFFICE, DANA SITS ACROSS FROM THOMASINA WHILE THOMASINA SITS AT HER DESK, LOOKING AT A PIECE OF PAPER.
 
THOMASINA:  So…Charlie has filed the lawsuit.
DANA:  Sure did.
THOMASINA:  It’s just a matter of time before the board gets a hold of this.
DANA:  As my client I had to tell you.  As your attorney I also need to tell you that there’s a bumpy ride in front of us.  Charlie has a solid case.
THOMASINA:  I can’t believe this.  This happens to us a lot, and now she’s bringing a racial discrimination lawsuit against the hospital and me.
DANA:  I wouldn’t worry too much about it if I were you.
THOMASINA:  How can I not?  My career could be destroyed if Charlie Harrison wins this.
DANA:  I’m not gonna let that happen, okay?  I’ve learned a few things during my time away form Bay City.   You will come out just fine. 
THOMASINA:  This doesn’t look good Dana.
 
DANA SIGHS.
 
DANA:  No it doesn’t, but if Mrs. Harrison wants to take this to the courts, then she’d better be prepared to have her name dragged through the mud, too.
THOMASINA:  I don’t want this to become a messy public battle.
DANA:  I don’t think you’re gonna have a choice in that. 
 
DANA GETS UP, WALKS TO THE DOOR AND TURNS AROUND TO FACE THOMASINA.
 
DANA:  I’m gonna do everything I can to make sure your name is cleared.
 
-------------------------------------------
 
TWO PEOPLE FROM BCPD’s CSI team ARE SNAPPING PICTURES AS TONI AND DALTON LIFT UP THE CRIME SCENE TAPE TO ENTER BRIANNA’S APARTMENT.  DANTE MEETS THEM AT THE DOOR.
 
TONI:  Well.  Is this what I think it is?
DALTON:  I’m gonna take a look around.
DANTE:  We have to get a coroner’s report, but I think it’s only going to confirm what we suspect.
TONI:  Where did you find her?
DANTE:  Right here.
 
DANTE POINTS TO THE SPOT HE FOUND BRIANNA TONI LOOKS AROUND.
 
TONI:  No signs of struggle, or a break in.
DANTE:  Brianna knew her killer. 
TONI (sighs):  If it’s not one thing, it’s another. 
DANTE:  Right.  I’m sure Brianna’s got a long list of people who wanted her dead, and we've got to find out who did this.

PART 1
 
BRIANNA WIPES THE LAST OF HER TEARS AS SOMEONE KNOCKS ON THE DOOR.  SHE RUNS UP AND OPENS IT.
 
BRIANNA:  What are you doing here?
 
-----------------------
 
AN HOUR LATER…
 
AT THE HOSPITAL, ANTONIO, WHO IS WEARING SCRUBS TO APPEAR AS THOUGH HE’S A HOSPITAL EMPLOYEE, WHEELS IN A LAUNDRY BASKET
 
ANTONIO:  Okay you can get out.
 
MAGGIE, WHO IS UNDER A PILE OF CLOTHES, THROWS THEM OFF OF HER, GETS OUT OF THE LAUNDRY BASKET AND INTO HER BED.
 
MAGGIE:  My goodness!  I thought you’d never get back here!
ANTONIO:  Well you didn’t want anyone to see you, did you?  You’re welcome.
MAGGIE:  I’m grateful but those scrubs are heavier than they look.  It was hard to breathe.
ANTONIO:  Well you COULD be a popsicle. 
MAGGIE:  You got a point there.  I’d rather be under a pile of hospital scrubs than half naked in a freezer.
ANTONIO:  Well I have to tell you that I agree with your decision.
MAGGIE (sighs):  Right.  This is getting a bit exhausting to have to keep this up.
ANTONIO:  So give me your phone.

------------------------------- 
 
AT THE POLICE STATION, DANTE IS IN HIS OFFICE WITH TONI.
 
DANTE:  We brought her in but we couldn’t hold her.
TONI:  She wouldn’t give up any information about who was running the Satin Avenue website?
DANTE:  No, then she got a lawyer and got out.  Truth is we had nothing that we could nail her with.
TONI:  She’s covered her tracks too well.
DANTE:  But she had to have slipped up somewhere.  We gotta find it.
TONI:  I do need to tell you something.
DANTE:  Go ahead.
TONI:  I called…I called for some help. 
DANTE:  We might need it.  It’s getting harder and harder to find this kingpin.
TONI:  Or queenpin. 
DANTE:  No Toni, for some reason I don’t think she’s the queenpin.  She’s taking orders from someone else.
TONI:  Do you think she’s taking them directly from whoever is running that website?
DANTE:  Very possible.  We might need some federal help in busting this thing.
TONI:  Well I’m one step ahead of you.
DANTE:  So is the D.E.A. coming?
TONI:  They sent an agent.  When I called, they said they were waiting for it.  They know a lot about this case. 
 
TONI GETS A PHONE CALL.
 
TONI:  Burrell…Okay we’ll be right there.
DANTE:  Who was that?
TONI:  That was the hospital.  Maggie Winthrop woke up.
DANTE:  Is she ready to give a statement?
TONI:  Let’s hope so.  

------------------------------------
 
AT THE FARM, OUTSIDE THE FRONT DOOR, JOHN WALKS UP AND HAS A FLASHBACK.
 
(EPISODE 341)
 
BRIANNA:  One more thing Doc.  If anything happens to me, Gregory’s REAL father will get all the proof he needs to find his son.  NOW you can go!
 
JOHN FLASHES BACK TO THE PRESENT, TAKES A DEEP BREATH, AND CASS AND FRANKIE WALK UP TO HIM.
 
FRANKIE:  John.  Thank God.  We’ve been looking for Sharlene all evening.
JOHN:  I just got here.
CASS:  We’re afraid she’s done something.
JOHN:  What would she have done?
FRANKIE:  You know how she’s been tailing Brianna. 
CASS:  Brianna’s dangerous.
JOHN:  Sharlene’s been determined not to let history repeat itself.
 
SUDDENLY THE THREE SEE HEADLIGHTS THAT ARE TURNED OFF.  SHORTLY AFTER, SHARLENE WALKS UP TO THEM.  FRANKIE RUNS UP AND HUGS HER.

PART 2
 
AT THE HOSPITAL, A MAN WALKS UP TO THOMASINA.
 
MAN:  Are you Dr. Thomasina Mason?
THOMASINA:  Yes I am.
 
THE MAN SHOWS AN IDENTIFICATION CARD.
 
MAN:  I’m Agent Dalton Chapin from the D.E.A.
THOMASINA:  Hello Agent Chapin. 
DALTON:  My superiors told me to see you about Gregory Hudson.
THOMASINA:  Does the Bay City Police know you’re here?
DALTON:  We haven’t had a chance to meet yet.
 
TONI WALKS UP TO THEM.
 
TONI:  Hi Dr. Mason.
THOMASINA:  Toni.
TONI:  I’m sure Agent Chapin was on his way to the station to tell us that he was working in Bay City.
DALTON:  I’m sorry, you must be Toni Burrell.
TONI:  I’m the Commissioner of BCPD, but I’m sure you knew that.
THOMASINA:  Are you here to question Gregory?
TONI:  Yes.
 
--------------------------------------
 
MEANWHILE, DANTE AND AN OFFICER ENTER MAGGIE’S ROOM.
 
DANTE:  I’m glad that you’re awake.
MAGGIE:  Me, too.  It’s been a while.
DANTE:  You got more rest than you could ever dream of.
MAGGIE:  Right.
DANTE:  My officer can take your official statement.  Are you ready?
MAGGIE:  I think I am.
DANTE:  If you’re not up to it then we can come back.
MAGGIE:  No, this can’t wait one more minute.  That bitch needs to be dealt with.
DANTE:  Are you talking about the person who did this to you?
MAGGIE:  She kidnapped me twice, spiked my iced coffee with synthetic opioids, locked me in the hospital freezer and left me to die.
DANTE:  Do you know her name?
MAGGIE:  Oh I know her name.  She used to work here.  Brianna Jameson.
DANTE:  Are you absolutely sure that she was your assailant?
MAGGIE:  I don’t know what else to tell you.  She has been trying to get rid of me for months because I disapproved of her relationship with Matt.
 
DANTE LOOKS AT HIS OFFICER AND BACK AT MAGGIE.
 
DANTE:  I think we got enough.  I’ll verify her address with Dr. Mason.  Thank you Maggie.
MAGGIE:  She needs to be locked up!
DANTE:  That’s what we intend to do.  She shouldn’t be roaming the streets. 
 
--------------------------------------------------
 
SHARLENE:  I’ve been fine. 
CASS:  Did you get any of Frankie’s messages?
SHARLENE:  I haven’t looked at my phone.
JOHN:  Thanks Cass, Frankie.  I’d like to talk to my wife alone.
CASS:  Of course.
FRANKIE:  Sure.  I’m so glad you’re okay.
SHARLENE:  I’m gonna…go inside.
 
SHARLENE DOES SO AND JOHN TURNS TO FRANKIE AND CASS.
 
FRANKIE:  Something’s off.
JOHN:  Let me talk to her.
CASS:  John’s right.  He’ll be able to get through to her.
JOHN:  I’ll keep you posted.
FRANKIE:  Thank you.
 
JOHN GOES INSIDE.
 
FRANKIE:  This all feels off.  Something’s happened.
 
CASS GETS A TEXT ON HIS PHONE.
 
CASS:  That’s strange.
FRANKIE:  What happened?
CASS:  I got a text from Maggie.  We need to go to the hospital.

------------------------------------
 
DANTE GOES TO GREGORY’S ROOM.
 
DANTE:  Dr. Mason I was told that you were…in here.
 
DANTE IS SHOCKED AS HE SEES DALTON, TONI, AND THOMASINA.
 
TONI:  Dante.  Hi.  This is Agent Dalton Chapin.  Agent Chapin this is my Chief of Detectives Dante Carlino.
 
DALTON EXTENDS HIS RIGHT HAND.
 
DALTON:  Nice to meet you Detective.
DANTE:  Same here.  Dr. Mason can you get Brianna Jameson’s address for me please?
THOMASINA:  Sure. 
 
THERE’S AN AWKWARD SILENCE.
 
TONI:  Uh am I missing something here? 
DANTE:  Officer Hobbs is by the elevators.  Maggie gave her official statement.  She named Brianna as her attacker on three different occasions.  We’re gonna go pick her up.
DALTON:  What happened the last time you picked her up?
DANTE:  We didn’t have enough to hold her.
DALTON:  Hope you have your ducks in a row this time.
 
TONI PICKS UP ON THE TENSION BUILDING BETWEEN DANTE AND DALTON.
 
TONI:  Dante let’s go outside for a minute.
 
OUTSIDE OF GREGORY’S ROOM…
 
TONI:  Not a good start between you two.  Is there something I need to know?

CONCLUSION
 
CASS AND FRANKIE ARE IN MAGGIE’S ROOM.

CASS:  This is great! 
MAGGIE:  Isn’t it? 
FRANKIE:  Miraculous.
CASS:  I’m glad you called and told us.  Every time we came to see you we were told there was no change in your condition.
MAGGIE:  Well I’m here now. 
FRANKIE:  Charlie’s going to be thrilled. 
MAGGIE:  Cass can you…call my mother and tell her?
CASS:  Of course I can.  I’ll call Charlie, too.  Be right back.
 
CASS LEAVES FRANKIE AND MAGGIE ALONE.
 
FRANKIE:  We’ve got some good news for a change.  So did you tell the police who locked you in the freezer?
MAGGIE:  It was Brianna.
FRANKIE:  What?  Why? 
MAGGIE:  I remembered that she kidnapped me the night of Carl’s party.
FRANKIE:  It was Christy Carson.  She and Brianna were working together.
MAGGIE:  Christy?  You mean that awful woman who tried to poison my dad?
FRANKIE:  Yes. 
 
MAGGIE LEANS OVER TO GET HER PHONE AND DROPS IT ON THE FLOOR.  FRANKIE PICKS IT UP AND NOTICES.
 
MAGGIE:  Come on give me my phone.
 
MAGGIE SITS UP AND REACHES, BUT FRANKIE PULLS BACK AS SHE SCROLLS.
 
FRANKIE:  All these texts. 
MAGGIE:  Rafael was using my phone.
FRANKIE:  No Maggie.  YOU were the one texting.  You woke up long before today didn’t you?
 
---------------------------------------

DANTE:  I…I wanna make sure that any charges we bring against Brianna will stick this time.
TONI:  You go ahead and pick her up.  I’ll call to get a warrant to search her place.  I’m sure we’ll find something in there.
DANTE:  Thanks. 
 
THOMASINA WALKS UP TO DANTE AND TONI WITH A STICKY NOTE THAT SHE GIVES TO DANTE.
 
THOMASINA:  Here it is. 
DANTE:  Thank you. 
TONI:  You’ll have a warrant within an hour.  Go get her.

TONI:  Thanks for your cooperation.
 
TONI TURNS TO DANTE.
 
TONI:  Haul her ass in.

---------------------------------------------
  
JOHN AND SHARLENE ARE IN THE LIVING ROOM.  SHARLENE PUTS HER PURSE ON THE COUCH AND LOOKS STRAIGHT AHEAD TOWARD THE KITCHEN.
 
JOHN:  I’m glad you’re alright.
SHARLENE:  Why wouldn’t I be?
JOHN:  I dunno.
SHARLENE:  You must think I’m so weak that I allowed Brianna to do something to me.  Well I promise you, she didn’t. 
JOHN:  Obviously.  Listen I…there’s something I have to…
 
SHARLENE TURNS AROUND TO FACE JOHN.
 
SHARLENE:  My gun is missing.
JOHN:  What?
