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.
 
CAMERA PAN ON DANTE.  SLOW FADE OUT.  FADE IN TO THEME SONG.

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 fiancée.
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.
